Caius echoed, “Absolutely, Mira would look stunning even in a potato sack.”
Miranda cleared her throat. No matter how thick–skinned she was, getting such over–the–top compliments from these siblings made her feel a bit bashful.
Since Miranda wasn’t bothered to change into a gown, Hannah just linked arms with her and headed straight for the banquet hall.
Caius followed behind them like a bodyguard. Behind Caius was their actual bodyguard.
“Hey sis, I heard Arabella and Theo are having online altercation these days,” Hannah whispered excitedly, diving into some gossip.
Miranda was surprised. “Really?”
Hannah continued, “Yeah, Theo got caught cheating and knocked someone up. So Arabella used that as ammo to play the victim. Her fans started attacking Theo, who got irritated. He lashed out, calling Arabella a slut, saying she seduced him and all that, and he even accused her of using her brothers to threaten him. He claimed she feigned innocent, attempting to deny everything after she offered herself to him.”
Listening to their drama, Miranda couldn’t help but smirk at the chaos.
“And then what happened?”
She had an inkling that Theo and Arabella would be at each other’s throats, but she didn’t expect Theo to go so viciously public.
But then again, some things just didn’t matter to guys. Whereas for girls, public opinion could be brutal.
For a playboy like Theo, who he hooked up with was no big deal. Especially when the revelations were such a stark contrast to Arabella’s usual persona.
Hannah went on, “Then Theo said he actually had a thing for you, but Arabella was the one badmouthing you and trying to get him to chase you. Tsk, you should’ve seen their petty squabbling, but they did reveal some info. At least, people finally realized you were set up back then.
Her fans, who were initially sympathetic towards her, started dropping her like flies. It’s hilarious, really.”
Hannah couldn’t stop giggling, her face nearly splitting with laughter. It took Caius reminding her to keep it together for her to compose herself.
Miranda hadn’t expected she’d missed such a spectacle. She’d just been at school for a day, and all this unfolded.
As they talked, more and more people gathered around them as they neared the main event area. And more eyes turned their way.
The venue was dazzling, filled with A–list celebrities, all dressed to the nines, chatting and laughing. But Miranda’s entrance quickly drew the photographers‘ attention.
Hannah clung to Miranda like a little bird, the sight of the affluent sisters so close and affectionate was rare, causing many to look on with admiration and envy.
“By the way, I heard the Hawke family got invited tonight too. Do you think Arabella will show up?” Hannah whispered, “After all that, surely they wouldn’t let her out, right?”
“She’ll be here,” Miranda replied.
Hannah remarked, “Huh?”
Miranda lifted her gaze, her lips curled upward. “See, there she is.”
