Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 317

Today she ended up hailing a luxury ride from a rideshare app and was treated to some jaw-dropping gossip, which left her pretty amazed.

She'd seen her fair share of wealthy folks living it up, but this degree was the first. In such a family, this silver-haired young guy hadn't turned out terribly, which was a feat in itself.

There was even something a bit innocent about him, she mused. Maybe he'd taken up rideshare driving to have someone to talk to.

After all, chit-chatting with strangers was usually easy, but opening up to people one knew could be tough. Otherwise, why would he opt for online dating? It was just too bad he got a raw deal with that one.

She glanced up at the estate in front of her. The grand iron gates stretched about thirty feet across, and the entire estate was managed by an Al butler. Before she arrived, her face and information had been entered into the system, so as soon as she reached the gate, it opened automatically.

"Welcome home, ma'am," a sultry mechanical female voice greeted her, not quite matching the usual Al tone.

The estate had three villas, one of which had been converted into a lab. Crystal would be moving in soon, so the entire estate was redesigned as an eco-park, which was why Miranda chose a suburban location instead of the city center.

The estate also boasted an anti-satellite system, keeping it invisible to satellites. All satellite images showed were a few villa models. It's a no-fly zone for drones, which would be jammed if they entered the airspace.

She had already informed Mr. Ashcroft about this. He could negotiate directly with the military, sparing her the need to deal with those folks. Meanwhile, Timothy and Beck were still in a standoff, which left her with some peace.

Not long after she entered the estate, her phone rang-it was Mr. Ashcroft.

"Hey there, kiddo, have you reached Virell? Where are you now?"

Miranda could hear the warmth in Mr. Ashcroft's voice and smiled. "Just landed and made it home."
