Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 213 Moreover, despite Elian being regarded as a menace by just about everyone, Miranda had never seen him cross any lines. He had his own way of handling things, always with a sense of integrity.

Given Mr. Ashcroft's background as a retired general, and the fact that Elian was often absent - so much so that many hadn't seen him in years - Miranda had long suspected he had military ties. She even guessed that Sebastian and Jasper had the same suspicions, though they never mentioned or speculated on Elian's whereabouts over the years. Of course, there might be other possibilities, like their obliviousness of Elian's connection with the military, or they having other speculation instead.

Either way, this indicated that, despite any tensions or even grudges, there was a mutual respect for his secrets.

Beck, finding his spot taken, simply stood beside Elian without making any comment and instead continued his conversation with Miranda. "Miranda, I really hope you'll consider what I said. We genuinely need you."

His sincerity was evident in every word and his expression didn't falter; he kept his stance even with Elian's presence. Though Beck had a healthy respect for this Mr. Elian Ashcroft, he wasn't about to abandon his mission. Even knowing Elian's fearsome reputation, he remained resolute in handling his matters.

Elian, for his part, did not react with anger to Beck's persistence. He simply waited patiently, embodying an understanding that went beyond words - a kind of unspoken unity born of shared beliefs.
