Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 151

Mrs. Hawke never imagined she'd find herself in such an awkward situation. She couldn't believe that her daughter, whom she had raised with such care and attention, would display such embarrassing behavior. At the Lancaster Group banquet, she chalked it up to Arabella defending the Hawke family's honor. But now, Arabella's repeated bouts of hysteria had her questioning whether it was something in their genes.

The broken engagement was already a sore spot, and Arabella's antics only added fuel to the fire.

Mrs. Hawke, already miffed with the Zade family, found herself less indulgent toward Arabella than before. What once seemed like mere petulance now looked more like the imprudence of someone like Luna, which irritated her increasingly more.

Arabella hadn't quite recovered from the abrupt end of the phone call when she felt the weight of Mrs. Hawke's displeased stare.

She glanced over immediately, wearing a look of hurt and sorrow. "Mom."

She hoped, as she always had, to appear pitiful and evoke her mother's sympathy and comfort. That was how it had always been.

And with the Blackwell family calling off the engagement, it was clearly their fault, not hers. So really, she was the one who was wronged.

But Mrs. Hawke shot back with a cold huff, "Do you even have the nerve to call me 'Mom'?"
