Chapter 95

In the end, Arabella was a tearful mess, full of regret and apologies.

She confessed that she couldn't stand Miranda's refusal to acknowledge her biological parents and brother, which was why she had led the Zades to them.

It irked her that Miranda chose to associate with the more powerful Lancaster family while ignoring the Hawke family. She wanted to stand up for her parents and brothers.

She also feared that Miranda might have used some underhanded tactics and worried about the potential trouble it could bring to the Hawkes. So, she had Miranda's adoptive parents come clean with a few truths.

Arabella's words hit every nerve within the Hawke family.

Predictably, Alden and Grace forgave Arabella, feeling sorry for her being caught up with the Zades. Considering Arabella had an upcoming TV show appearance, the four Hawke brothers swiftly hushed the incident, ensuring it didn't leak out.

They even launched a PR campaign to clear up some of the negative press Arabella had previously attracted.

But beneath this facade of harmony, a rift had already begun to form in Alden and Grace's hearts.

Mrs. Hawke, in particular, felt a chilling unease whenever she saw Arabella with the Zade family. Words like "ungrateful" and "betrayal" echoed gruesomely in her mind.
