Chapter 175
Miranda hadn’t been online for a few days, so she only heard about Theo calling off their engagement when he told her himself yesterday.
She couldn’t believe it when, just the day before, Theo had been acting all smug in front of her. Now, today, there were scandalous rumors flying around about him cheating and forcing someone into getting an
abortion.
In her mind, Theo was always just the guy who fawned over Arabella, constantly hovering around her like a lovesick puppy.
At least, that was how it had been during Miranda’s three years with the Hawke family. Theo was always just a side character in Arabella’s spotlight.
And honestly, Miranda couldn’t recall any other guys hanging around Arabella either.
Back when Miranda had a crush on Theo, she saw him through rose–colored glasses. Even after those glasses shattered, she never thought Theo was the kind of guy who’d be unfaithful.
Turned out, he was sneaking around with another woman behind Arabella’s back.
Knowing how fiercely the four Hawke brothers protected Arabella, if they found out Theo had betrayed her and gotten someone else pregnant, Theo would probably disappear without a trace.
Whoever leaked this scandal must really have it in for Theo. Why else would they drop this bombshell now?
But the person who should be the most upset was Arabella. She’d always been treated like royalty, and Theo’s betrayal must be a hard pill to swallow.
After getting out of the car, Miranda sent a text to Maximus.
“I want the Zade family sued until they break the bank.”
-Maximus quickly replied, “Got it.”
And then, he cheekily added, “They won’t be able to even afford their underwear.”
Miranda raised an eyebrow, satisfied with Maximus’s response.
As she walked toward the school, a girl called out to her. Miranda looked up to see a cute, innocent–looking girl running over to her with a shy smile.
“We have class soon. Can I walk with you?”
Miranda recognized the girl as someone from her major’s class. Seeing the friendliness in her eyes, Miranda smiled back. “Of course.”
The girl’s eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly joined Miranda, walking with her towards the classroom.
As they walked, the girl discreetly pulled out her phone and sent a message in a group chat, “She’s really down–to–earth, not intimidating at all!”
The chat immediately buzzed with responses.
“Really? I don’t believe it unless you show us live.”
“What? That means I lost the bet? I thought she’d ignore you.”
“I adore Miranda too! I want to get closer like you do. Can you introduce me to her?”
The girl walking with Miranda suppressed a grin. Looked like she was Miranda’s first friend at school!
She couldn’t wait to update her recently released novel related to the real and fake heiress, adding a new friend

for the protagonist in her campus story.
Miranda was unaware that she had become incredibly popular among the younger crowd. Her recent appearance on the reality show had already won her a slew of fans.
And that wasn’t even counting the behind–the–scenes clips from her acting roles, which had drawn in fans of her work and her beauty.
Her performance on the gaming show and her on–stream takedown of Arabella and her brother had only added to her growing fan base.
A sharp–tongued, talented beauty with a dramatic backstory who stood up to the Hawke family with her own ability it was like she was the protagonist of a bestselling novel.
Compared to Arabella’s fake, family–loved persona, Miranda was a breath of fresh air. Moreover, Miranda never flaunted her background or status.
This made young people with their heads screwed on straight admire her even more. But everyone who saw her on the show assumed she was intimidating, so no one dared to approach her.
