Chapter 232
[Loyal Reader of the Real–Fake Heiress]. “I can’t believe it! How can the fake one bully the real one? It’s outrageous how she’s been treating Miranda!”
[FCAT]. “The saying ‘like father, like son‘ fits the Hawke family perfectly! They’re no good, and that’s why Arabella turned out the way she did. Unlike our Miranda, who rises above it all!”
[What to Have for Breakfast), “Oh, Miranda, my poor baby, you’ve been through so much. Please, rise again and show that fake heiress who’s boss!”
[Waiting for Miranda to Shine in Acting]. “You’re the true beauty, strong and pitiful, Miranda. The Hawke family doesn’t deserve you. Thank goodness you have the Lancaster family backing you. From now on, I’m only buying Lancaster Group products. They’re quality people with quality products!”
[Hot Wings], “My apologies, I used to think Arabella was innocent, that she couldn’t be blamed for everything, but after all these revelations, she’s nothing short of a monster!”
Every platform was buzzing with comments from Miranda’s fans and bystanders. Each post had hundreds of thousands of responses. Her fan base was skyrocketing.
In fact, Miranda’s followers had already caught up to Arabella’s and were on the verge of surpassing her.
Because of this surge, Marion’s office was flooded with business offers. But given Miranda’s unique situation, they were selective, choosing only the best opportunities.
In this short time, the Hawke family and Arabella were nearly drowned in the tidal wave of online criticism. Even the four Hawke brothers were dragged into the mess, facing a storm of negativity.
The identities of the two accounts that leaked the story were uncovered, but amidst the overwhelming tide of attention, their names seemed irrelevant.
Just a few people mentioned their name and the connection to Arabella. But nobody really cared.
Instead of focusing on their average status, all eyes were on the Hawke siblings, and of course, Miranda.
Miranda’s lavish spending at the jewel gala and her public spat with the Hawkes were still hot topics. Now, with the scandal surrounding Arabella, and some others adding fuel to the fire, for instance, Theo’s involvement, the Hawke family couldn’t silence the uproar no matter how many trolls they had hired.
And the Lancaster family wasted no time in delivering their blows.
Caius commented, “It takes all sorts. Good thing my sister wasn’t raised in a family like that.”
Hannah added, “Maybe it’s just the Zade family’s lousy genes – born rotten. And the Hawke upbringing didn’t help either. Seven kids and not one turned out right. Thank goodness my sister rose above it all.”
The comments poured in.
“Ms. Hannah Lancaster sure knows how to throw shade.”
“With one comment, she slammed two families. No wonder she’s a Lancaster, just like Miranda’s sister.”
“I’m starting to think Hannah learned from Miranda, hahaha.”
“Miranda: ‘Well done, sis, you’re ready to graduate.”
“Not surprised, coming from a woman, who’d squander money like it’s nothing, sure knows how to make a
statement.”
Miranda turned off her phone.

The online chatter might be fleeting, but the impact on the Hawke family and Arabella would be lasting.
Given the current situation, it seemed likely that the Hawkes would sever ties with Arabella due to the negative attention she brought.
After all, even though Arabella was the center of their attention, the Hawkes weren’t short on children.
Besides, Arabella had been pampered because her public image once brought the family prestige. If they still adored her as before, they might try to save her, just like they had once sent Miranda to take the fall and landed her in prison.
But clearly, the Hawke family was no longer the same. If they really decided to cut Arabella loose.
“Well, it’ll be dog eat dog,” Miranda thought, eager for the drama to unfold.
