Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 53

Alden was rarely one to lose his temper, especially with his adopted daughter.

"How have your mom and I raised you? How could you be so oblivious? Do you have any idea how embarrassed we are?!"

Saying an adopted daughter wasn't a real daughter, and she had the nerve to call Miranda an impostor. But Arabella was also an adopted daughter of the Hawke family.

Those words didn't just upset Mrs. Hawke, they echoed discomfort through the entire Hawke family. The four sons remained silent, their expressions hard and cold. It seemed none of them had expected Arabella to say such things.

Arabella clung to Grace's arm, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, I didn't mean to... I just felt so upset seeing her call someone else 'Mom'. I felt bad for you. She's your real daughter, and yet, just to latch onto someone wealthier, the Lancaster family, she pretends not to know you. That's why I got so mad."
