The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1039

Curtis rolled his neck from side to side, then grabbed Carl by the collar, lifting him up and tossing him to the ground. He turned and asked, “Mirabella, what do you want to do with him?”

Carl, sprawled on the ground, suddenly looked up at Mirabella, his mind clearing in an instant.

"Mirabella?"

Wait a minute. The lawyer’s last name was also Mirabella... Was this some kind of payback for the lawyer?

As the realization hit him, Carl’s face turned ghostly pale, all strength leaving his body.

He’d had someone dig into the lawyer’s background and found nothing of note, which is why he’d gone after him. But now, how was he supposed to know the lawyer was connected to the Shepherd family?

If he’d known about that connection, he wouldn’t have dared to make a move, no matter how bold he thought he was!

Mirabella casually tossed aside a napkin she’d used to wipe her fingers, remarking, “We live in a society with laws now.”

Curtis glanced at Carl, who was now smeared with blood, and his cheek twitched. “Got it,” he replied.

He pulled out his phone, calling his subordinate, “Pass the evidence straight to the district attorney... Yeah, get the sentencing moving.”

Once he hung up, Carl, realizing the gravity of his situation, dropped to his knees, pleading, “Mr. Curtis, I swear I didn’t know the lawyer was with you, I…”

Curtis cut him off, his voice icy, “Should’ve thought of that sooner.”

Mirabella had already turned to leave, her phone buzzing in her pocket.

Curtis gave a few instructions into the mic clipped to his collar, organizing the cleanup, and then followed her out.

Carl watched them leave, knowing there was no turning back, but he suddenly chuckled, “You’ll regret messing with me…”

Mirabella paused briefly at the door when she heard this, her gaze flicking toward the exit before she continued on her way.
