Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Miranda glanced at the officer and gave a small smile. "If I remember correctly, you were the one who took me away two years ago."

The officer seemed to have a lightbulb moment. Two years back, there was a case involving a young girl accused of intentional assault. He was the one who responded to that call.

If it weren't for his police training, he might not have recognized the young woman in front of him as the same girl he had once escorted away.

He could still recall the fear and helplessness in her eyes, her frail figure looking as though it might shatter with a gust of wind. It was clear she had suffered a prolonged period of malnourishment. He wondered why a child in such an affluent family would appear so neglected.

She had vigorously insisted that she was innocent, claiming she knew nothing about the incident, but her family accused her of lying, saying she was a habitual liar and they were doing the right thing by turning her in.

As a seasoned officer, he had encountered many troubled youth, but this girl didn't seem to fit the profile of a liar. Later, he was surprised to hear that she confessed in court. Even though he hadn't spent enough time with her, he felt certain she was innocent, yet she ended up behind bars.

For a young woman, a prison sentence could be a lifelong stigma, a mark that never fades. He had wanted to investigate further, to ensure she wasn't wrongfully accused, but the case was swiftly closed and he was barred from pursuing it, even the file sealed. It seemed as though some unseen force was working to bury the truth, and he was powerless to dig deeper.

However, the Miranda standing before him now seemed like a different person altogether, a far cry from the one two years ago. She was more charming and radiant, exuding vitality that spoke distinction.

"Officer? Is there something else you need?" Miranda inquired with a friendly smile when she noticed him staring.

He paused as his colleague nudged him. "Let's go."

Snapping back to reality, he shook his head. "No, nothing more. You're doing well now."

There was a hint of a blessing in his words. Miranda returned the smile warmly. Blushing slightly, he nodded and left with his colleague.

As Miranda watched the officer's retreating figure, memories of the day she was taken away flooded back to her.

"Don't worry, if you're innocent, nothing bad will happen. Don't be afraid."

Those were the officer's words to her, words that had rendered her belief before Alistair tricked her into confessing.noveldrama

She caught the righteous aura around the officer, who seemed healthy, like someone destined for a long life. It was a reminder that good people were indeed blessed in the world.

"What happened back there, lost in the beauty?" his colleague teased. "Well, makes sense. Ms. Lancaster is indeed stunning, even more so than on TV. Like a fairy."

The officer scratched his head awkwardly. "It's not like that."

He refrained from mentioning Miranda's past incarceration, not wanting to taint his colleague's view of her.

Back at the station, Aaron, the officer, pondered for a long time before logging into the internal database. He typed in Miranda's name, and information about her appeared on the screen.

"Miranda, formerly known as Miranda."

His expression shifted as he scrolled down. Oddly, there was no mention of her prison record, as if those two years had been erased from existence. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

"What the...?"

What exactly was going on? He tried to access the old case files, but he lacked the clearance to retrieve them.

Aaron sat back in his chair, bewildered. How could this be? Was he dreaming? It was as if the events from two years ago had never transpired.

While Aaron grappled with uncertainty, elsewhere, someone had just confirmed Miranda's incarceration past. Celeste, who was in the middle of a manicure, stood abruptly.

"So Arabella was right, she did go to prison?"

Arabella had previously informed her about Miranda's imprisonment, but Celeste was skeptical, suspecting

Arabella of ulterior motives. To beet

sure, she had hired a private investigator to look into it. To her surprise, it turned out to be true. She was impressed by the concealment.

"Yes, we investigated, and it's confirmed," the private investigator said. "However, not many people are aware of it. It took a lot of digging to find out she went to prison. Beyond that, there's nothing more available."

Celeste's face went sour. "How

could Ms. Lancaster take someone like her under her wing? She must have been deceived. I always thought she had a dubious air, full of tricks and schemes. Anyone who ends up in prison must have a rotten character. The audacity to show her face in public! It's outrageous!"

A cold smile curled at her lips. "Someone nasty like her dares to cross me? She's digging her own grave. No matter how well she hides, I'll unearth every secret."

She immediately summoned her manager.

"Now's the perfect time," Celeste

said, grinning "With the Hawke
