Chapter 255
Arabella’s eyes burned with a wild rage and hatred.
“You never raised me. Miranda’s the one who owes you. Why are you hounding me?” she howled, her eyes boring to them. “You should ask money from her, why pestering me? If it weren’t for you and Miranda, my life wouldn’t be like this!”
Even though the Hawke family had kicked her out, Arabella was smart. She had used the incident from two years ago to threaten them:
So, they agreed to offer her a place to live and support her financially, despite having shown her the door.
But compared to her past life, this was a far cry from what she was used to. She just couldn’t accept it. She couldn’t accept the shift in her status, nor the fact that her brothers no longer cared for her.
She was on the brink of madness! Even the men who used to chase after her were now avoiding her like the plague. And it was all because of them and Miranda!
Without them, she would still be the cherished little princess of the Hawke family! She would still be radiant, adored, and the center of attention!
Now, with the Zade family showing up, she was at her breaking point.
“Miranda’s not really one of us. It makes more sense to come to you. You’re our flesh and blood, our own family,” Luna said, trying to fawn on her.
She couldn’t find Miranda anyway. And there was no way to get money from Miranda, so what choice did she have?
Adam spat angrily. “Mentioning her? That damn woman bankrupted us! And now we owe her money! Such a tramp, I should’ve had my way with her back then; maybe she’d be the one begging me to fall for her now!”
As parents, Ethan and Luna didn’t see anything wrong with Adam’s words. Instead, they said, “What’s the use of talking about it now?”
“If we had known she wasn’t your real sister, we’d woman settles down once she becomes a mother.”

“Sis, you’re all I’ve got. You need to get more money, maybe even get me a high–ranking job in some company. That would give us respect, wouldn’t it?”
Adam’s sense of entitlement pushed Arabella over the edge, and she let out a hysterical scream. “Ahhh!!!”
Her scream startled the three of them.
Adam snapped, “What are you doing? Are you nuts?”
Arabella glared at them with a murderous intensity. “You should have ended her when you had the chance! Why didn’t you?”
The family of three exchanged confused looks. Then, Arabella sneered coldly, “Get rid of her now, and I’ll give you a big chunk of money!”
Adam frowned. “I know murder’s illegal. I’m not doing that.”
Ethan and Luna looked at each other. “Yeah, we can’t do that. Besides, we couldn’t even if we tried.”
Arabella watched them, seeing how they dismissed her words, treating her home like it was a free–for–all, and her expression grew darker as the hatred boiled within her.
How on earth did they find out where she lived?!!
What Arabella didn’t know was that William had already gotten the information. He had been following Miranda’s instructions to the letter.

So, when Arabella moved, William immediately informed the Zades of her location. He even planted a spy and set up outdoor surveillance next door.
Hence, when Miranda watched the video of the Zade family barging into Arabella’s place, she couldn’t help but text William back with a simple, “Impressive.”
Without William’s help, well, it was no wonder her godmom hadn’t replaced him all these years. With skills like. his, success was practically guaranteed.
Miranda sipped her coffee, watching from the moment the Zades found out Arabella’s house to later when they flitted to her place with luggage in tow, only to find the door was locked.
