Chapter 163 To them, the real reason Miranda broke away from the Hawke family was that incident two years ago. If they hadn't protected Arabella and let Miranda take the blame, maybe Miranda wouldn't have left the Hawke family.

Orion couldn't quite figure out why Lysander had this change of heart, but as his twin brother, he could easily spot the shift. Compared to Dorian and Alistair, the twins had a deeper understanding of each other's thoughts.

Lysander gazed out the car window, his emotions a tangled mess. He had always disliked Miranda, yet her biting words had a way of cutting deep.

Every time he stood up for Arabella, Miranda's disgusted look made it worse, like he was losing something. He had never had the feeling before.

He couldn't remember when he started caring about her, especially after that reality show ended.

The members of Vortex Esports had begun distancing themselves from him, with a few even leaving the team.

He found himself isolated. And it was all because of Arabella.

The club manager had talked to him, pointing out that his inability to separate personal feelings from professional obligations, and his blind defense of his sister, had stirred up discontent among fans and teammates alike.

Not to mention Arabella's performance had been disappointing, a letdown to everyone's efforts. Disappointment and even resistance towards the siblings were palpable. Even his closest teammates had left, not wanting to be the "toys" for him and his sister anymore.

Lysander had always thought protecting his sister was something to be admired and the right thing to do. He never imagined it would ruin his career and leave him so isolated. It made his devotion to Arabella feel like a joke.
