Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 395

Mr. Ashcroft was pacing back and forth, his face flushed with anger. The butler hovered nearby, worried that Mr. Ashcroft might have a heart attack right then and there.

"Please, sir, calm down," the butler urged, trying to soothe him. "You've just recovered from your illness."

"How can I calm down?" Mr. Ashcroft snapped, continuing to pace. "That rascal Sebastian has gone too far this time, even trying to steal Elian's girl, Miranda! Can you believe that?"

"Miranda was supposed to be my future granddaughter-in-law," he fumed. "I've already bragged about it to all my buddies. Everyone knows Miranda is meant for Elian, and now she's been swept away by someone else. It's humiliating!"

Almost every retired general in their circle knew that Miranda was to be the future Mrs. Elian Ashcroft. He had even presided over the informal engagement party, beaming with pride.

And now, Sebastian from the Everhart family had swooped in and taken her.

"My future granddaughter-in-law, just like that!" he lamented.

"No, this won't do. I need to call Elian," he decided, grabbing his phone to dial his grandson.

But Elian wasn't picking up.

"Probably at the military base or something," he grumbled, his expression souring.

"That boy has only himself to blame for not holding onto his girl. Now look what's happened."
