Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

"Not just the videos that disappeared, even my comments. Is this the impact of the princess's wrath?"

"Well, isn't it said that Celeste hasn't ever paid much attention to those

discussions?"

"Celeste must've got really riled up, huh?"

"Seems like the so-called detached nature is just a facade. If so, do me a favor

and stop pretending to be someone innocent and classy, alright?"

...

Celeste was furious. "What the hell is going on?"

In the past, these platforms would bend over backward to please her, but now it was like they'd all dropped off the face of the earth.

Her team leader was equally baffled. They used to just make a call, and things got taken care of. Now, the others agreed to help, but then pulled a 180 on them. They were actually clueless.

"I called them," her manager said softly, after hanging up the phone. "They said they were instructed from higher up not to infringe on online users' rights to free speech."

Celeste took a deep breath and ended the video call. "Useless trash!"

Celeste prided herself on her image and reputation. So, to prevent things from spiraling out of control, she quickly deleted her previous post.

After deleting it, she posted a new status, "Pointless."

That simple word was meant to uphold her aloof heiress persona; she offered no explanation, but it only drew more ridicule, rendering Celeste, who normally didn't have any scandals, some negative views.

After deleting her provocative comment aimed at Miranda, she privately messaged her, [Enough already. Can you take down the video?]

Not long after, Miranda took a screenshot of the message and posted it with a caption, [Wrong person to talk with.]

The internet exploded with comments.

"So Ms. Sterling says 'pointless' publicly, but in private it's 'Can you take down the video?""

"I'm incorrigible. Can't believe I'm shipping Celeste and Miranda."

"Shipping them is only going to cause trouble."

"Is this how Ms. Sterling asks for favors?"

"It's got to be Miranda, never afraid of anything. Anyone who crosses her is in for a fight. Hahaha!"

"Miranda's not giving an inch. Ms. Sterling must be fuming."

...

The comment sections were flooded with jokes and jabs at Celeste, with people enjoying the drama.

Though the situation wasn't catastrophic it was enough to tarnish Celeste's image. Her once untouchable, ethereal persona was crumbling, and people spoke poorly of her as to how indecently she handled things, a stark contrast to the former persona, leaving them disillusioned with her.

Seeing Miranda had outed their private conversation, Celeste was so enraged she stormed off the set of the variety show she was filming She was shocked that Miranda would have the audacity to share their private chats. Nobody had ever dared cross her like this before. noveldrama

And what fueled her rage and made her feel more incredible was that those former allies of hers, who used to eagerly butter up, were nowhere to be found, letting others mock her freely.

Meanwhile, at a certain company, the CEO was asked by his secretary, "Aren't we going to do something about Ms. Sterling's request?"

He glanced at the soaring engagement numbers and replied, "Do what? Don't you know Miranda is the one who saved Mr. Ashcroft's life? Who'd dare mess with her? I'm not going to be the sacrificial lamb here."

Miranda's connection to Mr.

Ashcroft was well-known in industry

circles, a connection that had

recently gained even more attention,

so much so that even many big shots had heard it, and certainly, they got the gist. No one was willing térisk angering Miranda for Celeste's sake.

With no way to salvage the situation, Celeste chose to remain silent, quit making any publication. However, her team needed a distraction, so they threw Arabella under the bus.

Arabella's desperate attempts to curry favor with Celeste became a trending topic, drawing public ire and bringing up old scandals involving her and the Hawke family, including dirt on her biological parents and brother.

The Hawke family was speechless; despite having just escaped the online invective days prior, they were suddenly under the spotlight again.

As for the fans shipping the various celebrities? They continued their chaotic enthusiasm online.

The public snarkily noted, "After a day of drama, only the Hawke family seems to be taking the hit."

Meanwhile, Miranda was visiting Cathy at the hospital when Hannah sent her the latest updates.

Hannah began, "Look at Dorian's confused tweet. It's hilarious."

Miranda glanced at her phone. Dorian had indeed tweeted a simple question mark, seemingly baffled as to why he was suddenly being attacked by netizens.

Dorian wasn't alone; every member of the Hawke family was facing backlash, and Arabella had even begun arguing with commenters.

Miranda knew Celeste wasn't like Arabella. Celeste cared deeply about her public image and her status as a high-society darling. She wouldn't stoop to the kind of antics typical of tabloid celebrities, unwilling to get criticized and judged publicly.

So, faced with Miranda's relentless approach, unable to become the hysterical one making counterattacks, Celeste had no choice but to swallow her pride in silence.

Putting her phone down, Miranda turned her attention to Cathy, who lay in the hospital bed. A fresh bouquet of roses sat by her bedside, a sign someone had visited.

"He was here," Miranda said, starting to peel an apple.

The girl, who was supposed to be in a vegetative state, slowly opened her eyes. Life gradually returned to her once vacant gaze as light seeped in.
