The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1838

Nick glanced toward the doorway, picking up on the low hum of conversation between Mirabella and the old butler. Not stopping Penelope from leaving, he simply gave a nod and said, "Alright."

As Penelope headed out, she paused for a moment at the entryway when she crossed paths with Mirabella. Their eyes met briefly before Penelope casually looked away and continued on her way.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, then took her time strolling into the living room. Nick, still holding the sealed document, set it down on the coffee table as his sister approached. “How’s Chester doing?” he asked.

“Same as always,” Mirabella replied, glancing at the envelope beside Nick. She asked casually, “What did Penelope want?”

Nick hesitated for a moment before deciding to be upfront. “She said she could help you.”

Mirabella smirked playfully. “And what’s the catch?”

Nick didn’t answer right away.

Noting his pause, Mirabella could guess what Penelope’s terms might be. She sank lazily into the couch, then looked at Nick with sudden seriousness. “Nick, ever thought about inheriting a billion-dollar fortune?”
