Theo’s eyes flashed with a hint of indignation.
“As for Arabella, just watch how the Hawke family treats her. If their attitude hasn’t changed, maybe you could think about getting back together with her.”
Theo frowned at the suggestion and said coldly, “I’m not going to be with an impostor! Miranda clearly had a thing for me. If it hadn’t been for her meddling, Miranda would have been mine already!”
Mr. Blackwell snorted. “You? Do you really think Miranda would be interested in you? Have you even seen how people are talking about you these days? You should be grateful if you even manage to marry Arabella.”
Mrs. Blackwell wasn’t having any of it. “Our son is better than that imposter any day. What nonsense are you talking about?”
The couple bickered a bit more before parting ways in a huff.
After that, Theo picked up his phone and made a call.
“Who the hell did this?” he snapped, “And what’s going on with that woman?”
The voice on the other end timidly replied, “Mr. Blackwell, you’d have to ask yourself that. Maybe you’ve crossed someone you shouldn’t have.”
Theo racked his brain but couldn’t think of anyone he’d offended who would go to such lengths.
Meanwhile.
“Mr. Everhart, it’s all taken care of.”
Sebastian adjusted his glasses, responding with a simple, “Okay.”
“But it seems like the Lancaster Group and Mr. Elian Ashcroft are also making moves against the Blackwell family.”
Sebastian tugged his lips slightly. “I got it.”
He didn’t seem surprised at all.
“Prepare some gifts. We’ll be visiting Ms. Lancaster in a few days, and pay a visit to Mrs. Anna Lancaster as
well.”
“Yes, sir.”
Sebastian looked ahead, calm and composed. He knew some matters couldn’t be left to chance.
Elian was the kind of person who, given an inch, would tear into you like a rabid dog. Sebastian had no intention of giving him that inch.
Outside a club.
“Sis!” Hannah shouted from the entrance as she saw Miranda’s car approaching.
Miranda parked and walked over to Hannah, with Caius already waiting nearby. As Miranda approached, they hurried over to greet her.
“Hey, Miranda,” Caius flushed the moment he saw Miranda.
Hannah looped her arm through Miranda’s. “I’m glad you came. I told them you’d be here; otherwise, it would be no fun. Do you want to change into a gown? There are brand owners showcasing some tonight. If you like one, we can just buy it.”
The event was a banquet hosted by a jewelry brand, inviting celebrities and society’s elite young women.
Miranda had been invited but hadn’t planned on attending. However, her godmother was away on business,

and someone from the Lancaster Group needed to make an appearance, so here she was.
Since Miranda had been in school earlier, she was still in her casual outfit.
“No need, I’m not walking the red carpet today,” Miranda said, comfortable in her attire and not wanting the hassle of changing into a gown.
Caius, rubbing the bridge of his nose, remarked, “Miranda looks great in what she’s wearing. Way better than anyone else in a gown.”
Hannah frowned. “How is that the same? You can’t compare my sister with those people. Her beauty is ethereal.”
Amused by Hannah’s unabashed praise, Miranda couldn’t help but smile.
“But you’re right – Mira can outshine them in anything,” Hannah said proudly.
Ever since Miranda had gotten out from prison, she’d been in outfits handpicked by Lavinia, all high–end brands, giving her a natural flair. Miranda’s unique aura made even the finest dresses seem like mere accessories on her.
