The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1030

After having dinner with the Jones family, David made a quick exit. But not before he snagged Owen's contact info, knowing that Mirabella would soon be dropping by to check on Frank.

Once David left, Owen and Johnny didn't stick around either. They hit the road, with Johnny at the wheel. He might've looked calm on the outside, but inside, his thoughts were all over the place, buzzing with the evening’s events.

"I never would've guessed the old boss was pals with Mr. Boyd," Johnny mused aloud. He used to think knowing a mid-level pharmacist was a big deal, but now? He felt a bit silly for his narrow view. Ten guys like Dane couldn't hold a candle to one Mr. Boyd.

Then, a thought struck him. Glancing at the rearview mirror, Johnny asked softly, "Do you think Ms. Mirabella might be even more remarkable than Mr. Boyd?"

Though David hadn't spilled all the details, it was pretty clear. Owen stared out the window, finally nodding, "Probably."

Johnny sighed, still gripping the wheel. "You know, looks sure can be deceiving. Who knows how far Ms. Mirabella will go."

Her skills in pharmaceuticals, already surpassing Mr. Boyd’s, were enough to make waves. Plus, she had James backing her up.

Owen shot a sideways glance at Johnny. "That's why some bonds aren't forged through scheming."

Johnny just gave a wry smile. The Davis family’s involvement was something he hadn’t foreseen.

Over at another club, Mirabella had wrapped up her chat with Owen and was now lounging on a sofa with Grady, shooting the breeze. They'd been there for the better part of an hour, and it was nearing seven, but Zach still hadn't shown up.
