The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1138

Mirabella let out a little hum and said, “Tell them they’re not worth it.” With that, she didn’t wait for Conrad to respond—she just ended the call. They had used such underhanded tactics to push her and Delilah out and even threatened her with photos to kick her out of Riverdale. And now they expected her to help them? Fat chance.

Mirabella's lips curled slightly, and as she glanced up, she saw James returning with something in hand, and her expression softened a bit.

“That was quick, huh?” James handed her a latte he’d bought. His face was mostly hidden by a black mask, but his piercing eyes and sharp brows were visible, giving him an air of mystery.

“Yeah.” Mirabella didn’t go into details. She slipped her phone into her pocket and was about to poke a straw into the lid when James took over and did it for her.

“First latte of the winter,” James commented casually.

Mirabella took a sip, raising an eyebrow, “Isn’t it still autumn?”

James reached over, gently ruffling her hair, and adjusted her coat collar, “Guess you’ll have to wait for next year then.”

Mirabella nodded, the warmth of the latte melting away the chill. She stood up straight, “Let’s hit the road.”

James nodded and unlocked the car. Just then, Mirabella’s phone started ringing again from her pocket. Still holding her latte, she didn’t bother to answer.

James looked at her closely. Although she seemed her usual self, there was something subtly different. He opened the passenger door and asked, “Not gonna answer that?”

Mirabella shrugged, “Nah, don’t feel like it.”

James nodded, “Alright, then we won’t.”

“Yep.” Mirabella ducked into the car.
