The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1051

Grady had an aura that was sharp and commanding, and his features were just as intense, giving off a serious vibe. The moment Aaron laid eyes on him, he felt like his blood turned to ice, his legs starting to shake on their own.

Miss Mira's daughter was already intimidating, but this guy? He was on another level, like a movie's bandit chief...

When Grady noticed Aaron's eyes on Mirabella, standing beside him, he asked quietly, "Do you know him?"

Mirabella gave Aaron a quick look, noticing he was trembling even more, then turned away, saying, "Nope, don't know him."

Nick, however, seemed to be pondering. This didn’t quite look like they were strangers.

Hearing Mirabella, Grady didn't press further and headed downstairs. As he passed Aaron, Aaron shivered again, almost instinctively.

It wasn't until the trio had walked away that Aaron felt like he could breathe again. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and leaned against the wall to steady himself for a couple of minutes.

Looking back towards the lobby, Mirabella and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Aaron trudged upstairs, replaying the encounter with the intimidating middle-aged man in his mind. He remembered how Delilah had once run off with a rogue. Could this man be her husband?

If so... it made sense why her daughter was so fearsome. It really was like a den of outlaws.

Reaching the upstairs lounge, Aaron knocked and entered, handing over the stuff Austin had sent him with, without saying a word.

Austin eyed Aaron suspiciously, noticing how pale he looked, and called out, "Aaron?"

Aaron just nodded, meeting his gaze.

"Can't talk again?" Austin frowned, recalling how Aaron had been speaking just fine a few days ago.

Aaron opened his mouth but seemed too rattled to utter a sound.
