Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Crystal rarely felt a bit bashful, but she didn't refuse. She just whispered, "Thanks, Ms. Lavinia Lancaster."

Lavinia couldn't hide her fondness for Crystal even if she tried. She knew Crystal was a medical student, and not just any student, but a bona fide genius. Crystal had her research papers published in top-tier journals, and many institutions and companies were clamoring to recruit her.

Because of this, Lavinia had become more protective of Crystal. How had she been so lucky to have two such brilliant kids in her life? If she mentioned this to anyone, they'd be green with envy.

But Crystal didn't seem to want to go anywhere else; she just liked being around Miranda, helping her with the herb garden and some academic work. Geniuses always had their own unique ways.

She felt like she was raising two daughters now. Halfway through dinner, Lavinia paused and set down her fork, looking over at Miranda. "Sweetheart, haven't you been going to school lately?"

Miranda nodded. "I go there occasionally, but not much these days."

It was mainly because the school was too enthusiastic about her, so she tended to stay away. She had just happened to ace a test, and now she was a renowned academic star. She'd even received admission offers from a few world-renowned universities that collaborated on the test, but Crystal had taken the invitation letters to prop up a wobbly table.

"Well, then, maybe you shouldn't go. As long as you're enrolled, it's fine. You've missed a few years, so it's understandable if you can't keep up with the pace. Plus, I heard college students have tons of exams every year, and if you fail, you have to retake them."

As Lavinia spoke, Crystal gave Miranda a skeptical look, as if wondering how Miranda managed to convince Lavinia she couldn't keep up.

"So, since you're not going to school, you must have more free time, right?" Lavinia said, her eyes sparkling as she watched Miranda.

Miranda hesitated. "Well, maybe a bit more?"

Lavinia continued, "Then why not come work at my company? We're short on staff."

Even now, Lavinia hadn't given up on the idea of bringing Miranda into the company. "You're my daughter, it's only normal for you to join the company."

Seeing Miranda's silence, Lavinia pleaded, "Sweetheart, I know what you're thinking. But don't forget, you're a Lancaster now, part of our family. The Lancaster Group is yours too. If you join us, there will be a place for you there. It would give me peace of mind for the future."

She knew what Miranda was capable of, not just in medicine. William often helped Miranda out, and he always said she had a unique charm that drew people in.

They both knew that Flying Fish Entertainment was actually under Miranda's name. Others might not know, but William had helped her before, so he was aware. And if he knew, Lavinia would do too.

So Lavinia wanted to give Miranda not only a share of the Lancaster Group but

also a place to thrive with her talents.

Miranda sighed, "Godmom, it's just that I'm... quite busy myself."

Crystal chimed in, "Ms. Lavinia Lancaster, who told you Miranda couldn't keep up with her studies? Did you know all five of the top universities in the world sent her admission offers? But she wasn't interested, so I used them to prop up a table."

Lavinia uttered, "What??"

Crystal continued, "And she doesn't just have one company, she has a few."

Though she wasn't involved, she'd heard about it. Besides Flying Fish Entertainment, Miranda had more companies running.

Lavinia's eyes widened. "Seriously?"

Crystal went on, "One of her medicines can sell for millions."

Lavinia's hand trembled slightly. "Oh my."

She knew her girl was impressive, but not to this extent!

She'd thought Miranda just had one company and occasionally put out some announcements or treated few patients to make some money. She hadn't realized just how much more incredible Miranda was Even William was taken aback.

Miranda cleared her throat gently. Crystal didn't continue, but Lavinia was already overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information.noveldrama

"So, sweetheart, are there any other surprises about you that I don't know?"

Miranda replied, "For now, I think that's it."

She couldn't possibly mention that she had caught the attention of both the underworld and law enforcement. That would give Lavinia a heart attack.
