Chapter

Miranda curled up her lips, pulling a card from her purse and handing it to the assistant. Could you wrap this up for me?” 

The assistant’s eyes practically lit up at the sight of the shiny gold card. Her demeanor toward Miranda instantly shifted to one of utmost politeness. Of course, ma’am. I’ll take care of that right away.” 

Arabella’s face twisted into a scowl, disbelief evident in her voice. Miranda, stop pretending. There’s no way you have any money.” 

Orion and Lysander, both felt puzzled as they saw the card

Where did you get the money?Orion’s voice carried a note of cold suspicion

Lysander, clearly irate, chimed in, Are you out of your mind? Why are you trying to take something Bella wants? Can’t you see she picked that bag first?” 

Miranda chuckled. How is what I buy any of your freaking business? Are we related or something? Besides, just because you’re broke doesn’t mean I have to be.” 

Her words left the brothers momentarily speechless

Though if Miranda was supposedly part of the Hawke family, they’d never acknowledged her as their sister

But the store assistant didn’t care about that. She was only interested in who was paying

Ms. Hawke, since you were the first to express interest, we’ll sell the bag to you if you can pay now. Otherwise, it’ll go to this young lady.” 

This infuriated Arabella. As the daughter of the Hawke family, was the assistant implying she couldn’t afford 

it

Who said I wouldn’t buy it? Who’s pretending here knows it well!she snapped, and then turned to her brothers. Orion, Lysander.” 

Her pitiful look, combined with her naturally endearing face, made her appear even more sympathetic

Miranda merely offered a cold smile. She knew Orion and Lysander couldn’t afford to buy the bag for Arabella

The bag was expensive. Both brothers were still in school, and their allowance wouldn’t cover such a luxury. Arabella often pestered them for gifts, so they wouldn’t have much left

The brothers exchanged a troubled glance

Orion spoke first, Bella, maybe we should wait until next time.” 

Lysander agreed, Yeah, we’re out of the allowance Mom gave us. Maybe next month I can chip in and get it for 

you.” 

Arabella’s face fell further

Miranda turned to the assistant, who immediately understood and went to process the payment

Miranda nonchalantly pointed to a few more bags. I’ll take this one, and that one too. Wrap them all up.” 

Certainly, ma’am,the store assistant responded, her smile wide

Miranda’s actions were like a slap in the face for Arabella, who had been fixated on just one bag

Orion and Lysander exchanged a glance

Miranda, where did you get the money?!Orion demanded, his voice stern. Did you do something shady?” 

Lysander looked incredulous. You really have money? From where?” 

The transaction completed, the bags were all packed up for Miranda

That was when William entered the scene. Miss, have you finished your shopping?” 

Miranda smiled. All done. Though I did encounter a few barking dogs.” 

Lysander’s face flushed with immediate anger, and he moved as if to confront her. Miranda, what did you say?! Are you insane? Don’t forget, I’m your brother!” 

William, quick to act, restrained Lysander with ease, immobilizing his arm

Let go of me!Lysander barked

Miranda’s tone was indifferent. Oh, really? I don’t recall having a brother. I’m an orphan, you see just me on the family tree. Besides, I suspect your family has supermale syndrome. Might want to get that checked out.” 

Orion and Lysander were left speechless

What was Miranda on about? Claiming she was an only child? Was she wishing them gone

Arabella looked between William and Miranda, disbelief etched on her features. Have you been sugaring? Is that why you have money? Miranda, how could you stoop so low? Don’t you realize how disappointed Mom and Dad would be if they knew?” 

William went to respond, but Miranda silenced him with a gesture

Then hurry home and tell them. Tell them you can’t even afford a bag, while the Hawke family’s darling can’t keep up with someone supposedly kept.” 

Arabella’s eyes welled with tears. You’re shameless!” 

With a glance, Miranda signaled William, who promptly collected the bags

Miranda cast a final glance at them before turning to leave. But just as she reached the store’s exit, she paused and returned

It seemed there was one last thing she needed to do. She slapped Arabella across the face
