BookAmazoneChapter 88 Alistair paused for a moment, and then nodded. Mentioning this seemed to cast a shadow over his demeanor.
"Caius's dad is Lavinia's elder brother, so technically, Caius and she are cousins." Dorian snorted, "Seems like everyone's tripping over themselves to claim sfamily connection. Brother? With no blood ties? That's just wishful thinking. Miranda doesn't even pay attention to us, her real brothers. And he thinks he can just waltz in and be her brother?" Dorian's words dripped with sarcasm.
"But she did call him brother, and she stood up for him," Alistair said with a blank expression. "She even stood up to us for him." Though his face remained stoic, Alistair's voice betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction. He was intentionally passing this displeasure onto Dorian.

Too bad Orion and Lysander were away at school. They wouldn't otherwise have escaped this.
Dorian clenched his fists and suddenly slammed the desk.
"She's calling soutsider her brother and won't cback to the family. Does she think we're dead?" Dorian muttered angrily.
Seeing Dorian so worked up made Alistair feel a bit better. It seemed his brother was just as upset as he was.
And neither of them realized that the sister who once barely mattered to them was now affecting their moods. They were upset because Miranda called someone else brother, even jealous.
Miranda was their sister by blood. She should be with the Hawke family. Even if they had wronged her in the past, she was still part of the Hawke family.
But now she didn't even acknowledge them, acting like they were dead to her. She had found other "fake" relatives.

"If it's about Bella, we should talk to her next time," Dorian said casually. "We're willing to share sof our affection with her. She should stop embarrassing herself and cbathe family. We'll compensate her for the prison thing." Alistair hesitated; he then couldn't help but say, "I think she'd tell you you're crazy." From the few times he'd interacted with he knanda since her release, Khe wouldn't go for [ to appease her.

Dorian's face darkened in an instant.
He said solemnly, "If she ever ver talks about the prison thing, we covered our tracks well, but with her current status, she could cause us trouble. Leaving her outside is like having a ticking tbomb. Whatever it takes, we need to get her back to the family." Alistair lowered his gaze, his expression a bit conflicted.
After they finished talking, Dorian remembered something and asked, "How's Bella?"
Alistair replied, "Nothing much, just a bit shaken up, lost her voice for a few days. Nothing/serious, she just needs srest."
Hearing this, Dorian didn't ask further. He hadn't realized that his concern for Arabella had waned from what it once was.
