Chapter 105
But little did she know, her words not only made the people on stage change their expressions but also split the online audience into two extremes.
“Holy cow, did she just say that?”
“I’d call her a real expert to recognize bitch. I’ve been saying Arabella is so pretentious.”
“True carry game here.”
“Miranda might be harsh, but she’s speaking the truth, haha!”
“Does she really think she’s being cute?”
“I used to find her adorable, but after what Miranda said, I suddenly see Arabella as totally clueless.”
“Can’t she just zip it if she doesn’t know what to say? Jealous her brothers wouldn’t play games including you?” “If Lysander is okay with it, and Bella’s okay with it, who are you to interfere?”
“Miranda’s just envious of Arabella. I mean, she didn’t have a brother growing up, while our Bella does.”
Arabella shot a pointed look at Miranda and said, “Mira, if you have a problem with me, you could just say it to my face. Talking behind my back is just not right.”
Miranda frowned. “Didn’t I just tell you directly? And I don’t talk behind your back. Also, stop calling me ‘Mira‘, it sounds weird. We’re not that close.”
Sebastian pressed his lips together, a hint of a smile in his eyes. Arabella’s face turned sour.
The camera shook a bit, as the director behind the scenes was taken aback. He wasn’t even sure if it should be
aired.
This guest was so damn tough, leaving other team members and celebrities gobsmacked.
Could she really say that? Was this part of the script? And if so, why did they not know?
Arabella wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat. She wanted to curse Miranda out but held back because of the live stream.
With a face full of displeasure and grievance, she said, “I didn’t say anything.”
Her expression quickly garnered sympathy from viewers, who rushed to Arabella’s defense.
Sebastian spoke calmly, “Well, it does sound not so nice.”
Miranda, about to give Arabella a piece of her mind, paused and glanced at Sebastian in surprise.
Sebastian nodded in agreement. “Her calling you ‘Mira‘ is indeed awkward.”
Arabella’s already unpleasant expression seemed to crack at his words. She bit her lip, looking at Sebastian with a grievance. But Sebastian.never once glanced her way.
Everyone was shocked by Sebastian’s sudden interjection, not least the audience.
Lysander shot a disapproving look at Sebastian before focusing on Miranda.
“Miss Lancaster, you should watch your tongue,” the warning hint was palpable in Lysander’s tone.
Miranda’s lips curled upwards. “All you Hawke brothers seem to love making threats.”
This wasn’t just implying anymore; it was outright pointing fingers.
Her words reminded everyone of the past incident where Dorian and Arabella had bullied the production team

to snatch a role.
Lysander’s face turned a deep shade of red, realizing the connection.
Arabella, sensing an opportunity to shine, piped up, “You can’t talk about my brother like that.”
Miranda threw two words back at Arabella. “Freaking idiot.”
The host, in panic, tried to regain control. “Alright, alright, the atmosphere here is definitely intense! That’s the kind of passion our esports brings!”
Seeing the situation, the host swiftly moved on to the team selection segment, asking two game teams to
select members.
But online, things were buzzing.
Miranda’s sharp words caused an instant uproar. Who’d ever seen a reality show broadcast like this??
“Does this go without script? Can they say whatever they want on live TV?”
“Why’s Mr. Everhart always whispering to Miranda, haha!”
“Mr. Everhart, spill it, are you into Miranda?”
“Oh my God, I’ve never seen anything like this on a variety show. How impressive is Miranda’s sharp tongue?”
“Is Miranda nuts? Can she just leave? Stop being so obviously jealous of our Bella!”
“This is the fearless Miss Lancaster for you! With the kind of backing and connections she has, she’s untouchable!”
“Haha, I’d call her my voice substitute! Miranda really dares to say anything!”
“Girls, did you notice? Miranda isn’t just spouting nonsense; she’s targeting the Hawke siblings specifically! She’s got her reasons!”
“Exactly, I still remember when Dorian threatened the production team. Haven’t you all forgotten? Why doesn’t Miranda lash out at anyone else?”
“You guys don’t get it. It’s brotherly love. So what if Dorian threatened the crew? If Bella needs it, her brother would protect her against the world. That’s what family love means!”
The internet exploded with discussions. And Miranda’s words had already been broadcast live before anyone could censor them.
As the teams were being divided on–site, the director hastily approached Miranda.
“Miss Lancaster, could you maybe tone it down just a bit?” the director pleaded. “You’re being a bit too direct. I’m worried about the public reaction.”
Miranda looked puzzled. “Not too direct? Alright, I can be more subtle,” she conceded.
After all, she was here to earn money, and if the director suggested it, she figured she should listen.
The director quickly nodded. “Great, great.”
Then, turning to Sebastian, he greeted, “Hello, Mr. Everhart.”
After the greeting, he scurried off.
Sebastian looked at Miranda, his eyes amused. “Aren’t you afraid of getting flamed by netizens for saying such things on a live show?”
Miranda smirked. “Are you?”
Sebastian chuckled. The answer was clear.

For someone at Sebastian’s level, online gossip was insignificant.
To him, there was not much infliction. He could even easily make it disappear in an instant.
Miranda raised an eyebrow, merely smiling in response.
She wasn’t exactly like Arabella, always obsessed with what others thought of her, constantly living behind a façade.
She did things purely based on her mood. And when it came to regular folks, she treated them like regular.
But when it came to dealing with people from the Hawke family or the Zade family, who were just the worst kind of people.
Well, she didn’t feel the need to treat them like people at all.
