Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Miranda cleared her throat, "well, just friend."

Hugo had mentioned in passing that they had blocked Celeste, but Miranda hadn't inquired further. In their group chat, they occasionally complained about Celeste's constant pestering, but hadn't gone into much detail. Miranda had no idea what had gone down between them.

She was surprised to see Celeste show up here, of all places, to confront Hugo.

Miranda glanced at the person sitting across from Hugo. He looked vaguely familiar-had she seen him before at one of Marion's executive meetings? Not the ones at Flying Fish Entertainment, but those for the investment group.

Hugo's frown deepened as he listened, "Can't you just leave Miranda alone? She never bothered you. You're always gossiping behind people's backs, aren't you? I used to treat you like my own sister and helped you with everything. Turns out, you're exactly the kind of person I despise."

Celeste was taken aback, "What do you mean? What did I do?"

Hugo looked at her coolly, "You really have the nerve to ask? Wasn't it you spreading rumors about Miranda in Virell? You made her out to be something she's not, and I mistakenly believed you. Almost ruined my chance at being friends with her, you know?"

He couldn't keep his voice calm any longer, "She's been through so much, and yet you go around badmouthing her. How could you?"

Celeste retorted angrily, "She's just good at pretending in front of guys; otherwise, why would Elian be so taken with her?"
