The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1118

"What's that smell?" James murmured, then asked.

Mirabella glanced out the window, her gaze lingering for a moment before she pulled it back. "Let's just drop it, it's not a big deal," she said casually.

Sensing she didn't want to go into it, James didn't push further and started the car.

Just as they drove off, Lisa and Ben strolled over to a car parked by the curb. Ben spotted the familiar license plate, a mischievous grin spreading across his handsome face as he opened the rear door for Lisa.

Lisa, far from feeling flattered, was genuinely uneasy and hesitated to get in.

Ben, leaning casually on the doorframe, seemed unusually patient today and didn't rush her.

Finally, Lisa got in the car. As the door was about to close, she held it and looked at Ben standing outside. "What are you really after?" she asked.

Ben tilted his head, his eyes deep and a smirk playing on his lips. "What do you think I see in you, Emmitt?" he teased.

Biting her lip to suppress her fear, Lisa replied firmly, "You know exactly what kind of person you are."

Ben chuckled softly, "Seems like my sister still has the wrong idea about me."

Feeling a chill run down her spine, Lisa quickly shut the door, blocking Ben’s view.

Ben, unfazed, glanced at the tinted window before calmly adjusting his sleeve and walking to the passenger side. Just as he was about to open the door, his phone rang.

He paused, then pulled out his phone.

It was an international call.

Ben's expression turned serious as he stepped away from the car to take the call.

After a short conversation, he hung up, his previously relaxed demeanor replaced by a stern one.

A breach at the medical research facility? Those folks must be out of their minds.
