Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 227 "I get it, you all like Miranda now. But does she even acknowledge you? Would she treat you like I do? Have you all forgotten she went to jail? Because of her, you're giving up on me now?"

Her voice cracked more with each word, her body trembling with emotion. It was a sight that could tug at anyone's heartstrings.

Orion and Lysander exchanged a glance. Lysander spoke coldly, "Cut the act, it's disgusting. I didn't see it before, but every time you're around Miranda, you're like a different person."

Orion added, his voice icy, "The best thing right now is to distance ourselves from her. That way, the family won't get dragged down."

Arabella's eyes widened in panic at their decision. "No! How can you do this to me? Don't forget, you were accomplices two years ago! If I leave the family, you're all going down with me!"

She blurted out her thoughts in a moment of fear, terrified of being cast aside.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized the gravity of her admission, feeling as if her carefully constructed facade had just crumbled, revealing her most vulnerable and ugly truth.

At the sight of her brothers' cold stares, Arabella's heart sank.

"No, I didn't mean it." she stammered, desperate to explain. But Dorian cut her off sharply.

"About Sunny, what was exactly going on?" His voice was low, each word laced with suppressed menace.

"Is there any truth to what's been posted online?" His gaze was steely and unforgiving. "At school, were you the one leading the charge against Miranda?"

With each question, Arabella's guilt grew, her fists clenching involuntarily. Orion narrowed his eyes further.

"Did Cathy fall by accident, or did you push her? I checked the accounts of the two people who posted, they were your friends and wouldn't lie."
