Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 173 Miranda played along. "So, why exactly are you here?"

Elian was momentarily speechless. This girl never played by the rules.

"Hey, wait up! Why'd you leave me behind?"

Jasper's voice interrupted them as he hurriedly approached. Spotting Elian without his mask, Jasper decided to drop the pretense too. "Elian, seriously? That's not cool. Miranda's my guest. How could you two just took off without me?"

Elian frowned and replied in a nonchalant tone, "You could always call Sebastian, asking him to pick you up.'

Miranda observed the dynamic between Elian, Sebastian, and Jasper. It was clear they were in some kind of a triangle.

Back at the villa, Miranda went straight to the lab to reprocess the piece of stone she'd acquired. The thing piqued Crystal's interest the moment she spotted it. "What's that thing?"

Crystal, clutching a bag of chips, eyed the stone with curiosity.

Miranda answered, "Good stuff."

Crystal squinted at the stone for a while. "Doesn't look like much."

Miranda shrugged it off and changed the subject, asking, "How's your paper coming along?"

Crystal brightened up at the mention. "Almost ready to publish, on the journal you suggested. Oh, and I've cultivated some new plant specimens from your medicinal garden. They're even better than the last batch."

Miranda was pleased. Since Crystal started helping out, her garden flourished. She spent substantial time on her plants, and was expressly interested in them; in order to nurture those herbs, she even took a course in agriculture.
