Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 97

Inside the villa, no one batted an eye when Miranda returned with an extra person in tow. They treated Crystal with the same deference they showed Miranda.

The staff mostly stuck to their own duties, keeping a respectful distance from Miranda's lab and the herb garden, which were strictly off-limits.

After Crystal moved in, she was temporarily settled in Miranda's villa. Her eyes lit up with excitement when she saw the herbs growing in the garden, and the gloom that had once cloaked her seemed to lift. "Can I do some research here?"

"Of course," Miranda replied.

Little did Miranda know, those two simple words would pave the way for Crystal to become a sought-after herbalist and pharmacologist, with nations vying for her expertise.

She also didn't know that when Marion and Crystal got released, some enterprises and headhunters, vying for getting them on board, didn't even spot them.

With Crystal here taking care of the herb garden, Miranda was free to head to the studio for the filming of "Beyond Time: eSports Showdown", a reality show that would keep her in a hotel arranged by the production team for two weeks.

Marion had arranged for an experienced assistant named Wendy to accompany Miranda. Wendy, with her cute round face and short hair, was efficient and quick on her feet.

Miranda shot a quick text to Elian, updating him on Mr. Ashcroft's condition and reminding him of a few things, promising to follow up once she was less busy.

The text from Elian the previous day still sat there unanswered. Elian had a habit of making his presence known daily, sending emojis or asking about her day. Miranda would sometimes reply, but often she didn't bother.

In her contacts, Sebastian was there. They hadn't exchanged a single word yet since she accepted his friend request.
