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.

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.

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