NovelEnglishChapter 71 Ever since that dinner party, Miranda had taken to calling Lavinia "Godmom" in private. It felt more personal, more intimate that way.
Of course, in front of others, Miranda still called her "Mom".

If they wanted a scene, why not make it a spectacle? Lavinia set her phone down and turned to William. "I've got something for you to handle." William nodded. Once he was briefed, Lavinia pondered aloud, "William, what do you think about grooming Miranda to be the company heir? She's sharp as a tack." William frowned. "But President Lancaster, the Lancaster Group is a family business. The heir should ideally be chosen from the Lancaster bloodline. Even though Miss Lancaster is now your daughter in name, she still isn't a Lancaster by blood." Lavinia replied thoughtfully, "Blood might not be everything. As long as she's officially part of the Lancaster family and can shoulder the responsibility of our business, she could be a contender. Capability trumps lineage. I'd rather see the Lancaster legacy preserved and flourish under someone competent than watch it crumble under someone inept." William was silent, mildly surprised by Lavinia's broad-minded perspective.
It was true that no standout talents had emerged from the Lancaster family in recent years. The younger generation seemed a bit underwhelming. Miranda, as an adopted daughter, could indeed possess inheritance rights.
He knew Lavinia wasn't acting on a whim. In the tthey'd spent together, he'd seen that Miranda, despite her fierce temperament, was smart, strategic, and capable.
When dealing with the Hawke family, she had been both precise in her strikes and adept at avoiding trouble herself.
And now with the Zade family causing a scene, her approach was unexpected; he was admired by her scheming mind.
Lavinia paused. "Well, I'll think it over. Maybe this position isn't even something she'd be interested in." Marion noticed Miranda seemed lost in thought after that phone call and felt curious. "What's up? Something happen?" Miranda returned her attention to the program she hadn't finished reviewing. "Just sscumbags stirring things up. Not to worry, though. There'll be a spectacle soon enough." Seeing that Miranda seemed unbothered, Marion let it go.

"You've becquite a hot topic online lately. Opinions are really split, but I guess you don't care much m about that, so I'll skip that. The hype is real, though. Sof your film stills leaked and went viral, so you've got quite the following now.
The entertainment industry is all about riding that wave, so you've got a lot of show invites. I've picked two that are offering good money and seem legit."
Marion raised an eyebrow. "But here's the kicker - Arabella from the Hawke family is on the guest list for both Son shows. She's been on the roster for a while, trying to break into showbiz.
Quite the coincidence, huh?" Miranda simply replied with a nonchalant "Great".
