Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 149

Lavinia always had a pretty open-minded outlook on life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have embraced her commitment to being single. So, there was nothing to hide from Miranda.

As they chatted, William returned. He gazed at Lavinia. "All sorted."

Lavinia gave him a nod. "Go ahead, do your thing."

William glanced at her briefly, acknowledging her words before heading over to his desk. He handled his work at a table nearby. Most of his time was spent either working or assisting Miranda with her tasks. Recently, Lavinia had been assigning William to help Miranda more often, lending her his support. Miranda cast a glance at William. He was sitting there all proper, giving no hint of being anything more than an assistant. No secret affair vibes at all. She mused, were the elders these days really this playful? Well, Lavinia did look incredible for her age, appearing barely in her thirties with a grace and beauty that seemed untouched by time. If anything, age had only added a sophisticated allure to her. So, to Miranda, it wouldn't be surprising if Lavinia were dating a younger guy of over twenty years old.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people trashing Arabella and the Hawke family," Lavinia said, a note of surprise in her voice. "I didn't even need to hire any trolls to stir things up."

Miranda curled her lips slightly. "It's a classic case of 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall'. Arabella cared too much about her status, so that's all anyone else saw too. The more she pushed it, the worse the backlash. People only see what you show them."
