Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Miranda could stop traffic just by standing there. Not only was she a bit of a celebrity, but she also had that classic beauty that was hard to ignore. Her fair skin and delicate features made her stand out in any crowd.

While she might not have been the show-stopping kind of beautiful, there was a refined elegance to her that was undeniably captivating.

"Miranda," Theo said, his gaze, tinged with guilt, locked onto her, "I'm sorry. I had no idea you were the real daughter of the Hawke family."

Miranda furrowed her brows.

"I thought you were just a jealous girl trying to cause trouble for Arabella back then, that's why I had that behavior to you. I didn't know you were the rightful daughter of the Hawkes. Miranda, it's all misunderstanding."

There was a mix of emotions swirling in Theo's eyes as he looked at her. It was as if a monumental mistake had taken place between them.

"Are you insane?" Miranda interrupted him, unable to bear listening to him. "You think a simple apology can erase the despicable things you did? Don't kid yourself. There was no misunderstanding between us," she said with a cold smile playing on her lips. "If you loved Arabella, you should have loved her entirely. Does her not being the real heiress change your feelings?"

Theo's expression shifted slightly.

"A loyal lapdog should know what they're getting into," Miranda continued.

"I've broken off the engagement," Theo interjected.

Miranda slightly raised an eyebrow in surprise. She hadn't expected Theo to actually end the

engagement. But it was probably the Blackwell family's decision.

Arabella's reputation had taken a nosedive, especially now that it was clear she wasn't the real heiress.

And her biological parents and brother wasn't exactly the picture of stability.

The Blackwell family likely wanted to avoid any more drama with her chaotic relatives.

"Even though it was my mom's idea,

I agreed," Theo said, his brows furrowed. "I had no idea Arabella was like that. I was deceived by her too. I didn't know who you really were or that you were the one wronged.

Miranda, I regret how I treated you back then. I regret rejecting you too. Can we start over? I've ended things with Arabella. There are no more misunderstandings between us. Will you give me another chance?"

Theo's voice was earnest, but Miranda found it hard not to laugh. Calling Theo a dumbass would be a compliment, she thought.

"You?" Miranda's lips curled into a mocking smile as she looked down at him, her voice cold. "Do you think you're worthy?"

Those words cut a knife, stabbing right through Theo's chest.

"You can't suddenly realize you're in love with me now, can you?" Miranda's gaze was icy. "Or did you just develop a new crush?"

Theo's cheeks flushed by the interrogation, and he looked uncomfortable.

Miranda smirked. "Theo, if I were still the Miranda from back then, even if you knew Arabella wasn't the true heiress, you would have still sided with her and looked down on me, right? Wasn't it you who deliberately seduced me after Arabella's instigation? Didn't you play along with her games to humiliate me?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Theo's eyes.

"I was under Arabella's influence. I genuinely thought you were the bad one, that's why I..."

Miranda cut him off, "And now

you've realized that not only am I the real heiress, but I was once interested in you. I outshine Arabella in every way. So now you treat her like she's nothing. It's just that I've changed, and you're chasing

something different, right? Is it some laughable sense of conquest?"

For someone like Theo, Miranda could see right through him. All his talk of love was nothing but vanity and fickleness.

Theo's face went sour, as if she'd ripped away his facade. After a moment, he tried to explain, "No, it's not like that. I just found myself drawn to you."

Miranda laughed, her eyes cold. "And what does that matter?"
