Chapter 241 Miranda's words hit Dorian so hard, he was momentarily speechless.

"You should have 'hypocrite' and 'phony' written all over your faces. Did you even stop to reflect on yourselves when you blamed everything on Arabella?"

Hannah almost clapped for Miranda right then and there. It felt so good, like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Dorian's expression had been tense ever since Miranda started speaking and hadn't relaxed since.

"So, even though Arabella's been kicked out, you're still not going to forgive us?" His voice was starting to sound cold and distant. Miranda was speechless.

"You ask for honesty, then you get upset when you hear it. And look, just a few words from me, and your true colors are already showing."

Hannah went silent. Dorian was at a loss. His voice turned icy. "What if Arabella had to eat slop with the pigs?"

Miranda raised an eyebrow, locking eyes with Dorian for a moment. This was something she had thrown at Dorian during a party once.

He had asked what it would take for her to forgive them. She had replied, saying they'd have to eat slop with Arabella, just like she did back in the day.

And now, Dorian was bringing it up again. There was a certain look in Dorian's eyes she recognized.

It was the way he used to look at Arabella. Or maybe even more intense.

It had a kind of crazed, protective edge to it that made her wonder if they had transferred their old protectiveness for Arabella onto her. Like she had said before, she thought the four Hawke brothers were a bit unhinged.

And she wasn't just insulting them. Being that obsessed with their sister was practically a mental illness.

It was clearly some kind of psychological disorder, probably something akin to a White Knight syndrome. An instinctive, indiscriminate urge to protect someone.

Now, it seemed like he was directing those feelings towards her. At least, that was how Miranda saw it.
