NovelBookChapter 147 Arabella and Miranda were like night and day, and everyone knew it. The four Hawke brothers and their parents were the biggest jokes in town. Arabella's antics were a carbon copy of the Zades.
The message from the Lancaster family was crystal clear, "Compete in business all you want, but hands off Miranda.
And right on cue, Lavinia posted proof that Miranda had officially changed her last nto Lancaster. This nchange hit the Hawke family like a ton of bricks.
When they saw it, every single one of them turned ashen, as if they'd swallowed something foul. As everyone waited for Miranda's response, she posted her own update.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Not close with them," was all it said. And she shared her own nchange document.
There was no doubt about it - the Lancaster family had the upper hand.
As soon as the Lancasters made their move, everyone in the social circle rushed to congratulate Lavinia and the Lancaster family.
After all, regardless of who Miranda's real parents were, her connection with Mr. Ashcroft already made her a person of influence.
Not to mention, she had the Lancaster family's backing and the respect of Elian and Sebastian.
With just these connections, Miranda had more clout than the entire Hawke family combined.
Sure, the Hawke family had four decent sons who'd made names for themselves in various fields, but there was no real advantage to aligning with them.
They didn't have any significant power or influence. The Hawke family's overall strength was mediocre at best. Rumor had it there was a main branch of the family abroad, but Alden's branch had never received any favor from them, effectively making them the black sheep - unnoticed and uncared for.
People in the know were aware that, while the four Hawke brothers were talented, they were far from top-tier. Dorian might have taken over the company, but next to someone like Sebastian, with his elite family background, Dorian was just another guy.
Then there was Alistair, the second eldest son. He might be a reputable lawyer in the industry, but compared to someone like Maximus, Alistair was just an up-and-comer. His skills were reserved for the Hawke family, bringing no benefit to others.

In wealthy circles, it was all about class, profit, and reputation. Their four sons were irrelevant, so naturally, everyone gravitated towards the Lancaster family without hesitation.
When the Hawke family released their statement, the only ones who paid attention were the online commenters. And they had plenty to say.
"Arabella and the Hawkes should just stick together. They're always trying to sell this perfect family image, so leave Miranda out of it."
"Miranda's changed her last name. She's got nothing to do with them Hawke family. Anyone associated with them is bound for bad luck, honestly." "Nice move! This is the best I've seen!"
"A real heiress will always be a real heiress. A fake one knock-off, reeks just a m of cheapness."
"The Lancaster family and Miranda are a perfect match Miranda's finally e found a good home." "She doesn't even acknowledge her biological parents and brothers? That's cold." "Is she denying her family just because the Lancasters are richer?" "Please, someone tell Arabella to first acknowledge her own real parents."
