Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 257

In the past, Miranda only remembered seeing Alistair with this kind of attitude when he was around Arabella.

But the Alistair standing before her now made her feel as repulsed as if someone had just dropped a rotten egg in front of her. This disgust was different from what she felt for Dorian.

Alistair, who had sent his own sister to jail, breaking the law while pretending to be her savior, only to stab her in the back. Outwardly noble, he upheld the so-called law and morality. Yet, he was the worst kind of filth.

"Make amends for the rest of your life?" Miranda raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about your life in prison? Are you planning to send me regards from there or write me a letter?"

Alistair choked on his words, his face fell, and a flicker of guilt and discomfort crossed his expression.

"You're a lawyer; you should be able to calculate how many years you'll get, right?"

Miranda's smile was dazzling, but Alistair didn't feel even a hint of warmth from it. It was more like she was watching a pathetic show, mocking him.

Her beauty was like a poppy flower, enchanting yet deadly. He swayed slightly, taking a deep breath to steady himself.

"You know, back then, I had no other choice. I admit, I was out of my mind to do such a thing. I misunderstood you and judged Arabella wrong. If I had known earlier..."

Miranda cut him off sharply, "Misunderstood? You mean you weren't fabricating evidence to frame me to protect Arabella? What are you pretending? I pinned all my hopes on you, Alistair, asked you to clear my name. What did you say?"
