Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 129

Miranda chuckled softly and addressed, "Yeah, that's right."

She could feel it now, how the sorrow that used to weigh on the old Miranda was slowly fading away. Every time she spoke to the Hawke siblings, that sadness seemed to be washed away, replaced by a sense of relief. In those moments, she felt herself growing closer to this new life she was leading. The Zade family? They were here because she wanted them to be. It was her little "gift" to Arabella. She didn't need to do much - just let them know that riding on Arabella's coattails would bring them benefits. They'd come running on their own.

After all, they were always dreaming of their son making something of himself. No way they'd pass up an opportunity like this.

The Zades were traditional; they favored sons over daughters. Miranda had been treated like a burden, working like a mule for Adam. She was often mistreated by them, left to eat the scraps of their meals. That was why, by the time she returned to the Hawkes, she was all skin and bones, loathed by the family.

To them, Arabella was just a cash cow. They couldn't care less if it meant for their son's benefit. After all, Adam mattered more than Arabella ever could.

Arabella valued so much the title of being the Hawke family's daughter, and the latter tried to keep her true identity under wraps.

In terms of that, Miranda was determined to reclaim what was rightfully hers for the original Miranda. For things belonging to her, she might not need them, but she wouldn't let anyone else take them from her. It was a promise she made to the girl whose life she now lived.

Watching the live stream, Wendy seemed pleased. "Miranda, you're right. Trash belongs in the trash heap. The Zades aren't good people, and neither are the Hawkes!"

After a moment of thought, Wendy concluded irritably, "They're just awful!"

Just then, Miranda's phone started buzzing. She picked it up, recognizing the voice on the other end. "So, when can I get my check-up?"
