Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 366

Mrs. Sterling quickly pulled Celeste aside. "There's no need to shout at the kid. Talk it out calmly."

"We've been warned from the higher-ups that stay clear of Miranda. Anyone who crosses her ends up in a world of trouble. So, why on earth would you go and stir the pot? What huge grudge do you have against her anyway? If things get out of hand, do you think our family has anything to gain?" Mr. Sterling said coldly. "Our name and fortune were earned by your grandfather. This legacy we have, our reputation, if you tarnish it, I'll have no choice but to cut you off."

Celeste was puzzled. "Dad, she's just an adopted daughter of the Lancaster family. How could she possibly be a threat to us? Aren't I your daughter? Does it not bother you if I'm bullied, humiliated, or even hurt?" Celeste's voice was a mix of anger and confusion.

Mr. Sterling had done engaging with Celeste. "Remember what I said. I've already arranged for someone to take over your social media accounts. You've brought enough negative press as it is! And you think the Ashcroft family would still consider an alliance through marriage? Do you really believe Elian would want anything to do with you?"

Those words hit Celeste hard. She, who had always maintained a poised and dignified demeanor, felt it slipping away.

She was supposed to be the highest-ranking debutante in their circle. She always looked down on the other heiresses because she knew they weren't in the same league.

But now this Miranda had come along, challenging her at every turn. And even Hugo and his friends had taken Miranda's side. Celeste wasn't just upset; she felt a burning sense of injustice.

Ever since Elian had made an appearance, Miranda hadn't seen him again. He'd mentioned he'd be busy for a while.
