BookAmazoneChapter 118 She was always marking her territory, constantly playing little games to make the four brothers choose between her and Miranda. Unsurprisingly, they always picked Arabella.
Miranda was perpetually the one ignored and cast aside, all to satisfy Arabella's vanity and secure her position within the Hawke family.
Miranda's response made Lysander's expression flicker slightly. Arabella frowned too, but she wasn't worried.
She was confident that even if Miranda claimed the Hawke brothers as her own, they would never acknowledge it for her sake. Miranda was, in her eyes, a slut, someone the brothers would throw under the bus if it meant saving Arabella. They definitely wouldn't recognize her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, the three other Hawke brothers, watching from behind the scenes, were all subtly focused on the situation. There was even a hint of hidden anticipation.
Since Miranda's release from jail, she hadn't once acknowledged any relationship with them. Her disdain and resentment infuriated them, especially since she refused to recognize them, yet called Caius her brother.
Though they didn't want to admit it, they were undeniably jealous. So when Miranda answered, they were keenly interested in what she'd say.
Dorian spoke with a casual drawl, "If she names us, then maybe she still considers herself part of the Hawke family. If she still sees herself as our sister, I might just forgive the impact she's had on Bella. Worst case, we can reveal the truth about the real and fake heiress situation and bring her back." Alistair nodded in agreement. "Just have her apologize to Bella, and we're good." Orion frowned. "If she's willing to admit her mistakes and return to the Hawke family, I'm also fine with revealing their identities. Though it might cause Bella sdistress." They hadn't even noticed how, over time, their favoritism towards Arabella wasn't as strong as it once was. Miranda was vibrant, radiant, and surrounded by a vast network. She was skilled at everything and didn't bring any trouble - though she had a sharp tongue. And she was their real, blood-related sister.
In comparison, Arabella didn't seem to have much going on aside from her ability to pout and shed tears. Recently, she'd embarrassed the family multiple times, including the twhen the Hawke family got kicked out of the dinner party because of her, which made them terribly ashamed.
And not to mention the Zade family's harassment, where they made ridiculous claims about being the true daughter, wanting to adopt them as sons, and demanding a job for her own son.
Just the thought of it made the brothers irked. Their once unwavering favoritism for Arabella had started to shift.
The host perked up. "Oh? Miranda, you have siblings?" Miranda smiled. "I've got Caius, the six-foot tall, handscharmer, and my little sister Hannah, who's al BAUMS absolute angel. They're wonderful." At this moment, Miranda's lack of aggression made her seem and cute. Cow charmingle, even a bit whimsically sw.ne Even the audience members, who had been put off by Miranda's strong demeanor, couldn't help but be captivated by her charisma.
After she said this, her personal rankings saw a shift.
Caius wrote, "The six-foot tall, handscharmer reporting in." A flurry of gifts filled the screen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHannah typed, "She calledan angel (blushing)." Another storm of gifts followed.
They didn't just post here; they shared the sstatus on their own accounts, eager to announce it to the world. The comments below were filled with teasing from fellow socialites.
"Oh, the six-foot tall, handscharmer (eye roll)." "Oh, the little angel (jealousy)."
Lysander's face froze, his brows furrowing tightly. Did she really Want to have nothing to do with them?
Arabella, however, seemed unfazed, muttering under her breath, "Not even exeath real siblings." Since it was a live broadcast, her words were picked up by the microphone.
