The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1147

Emmitt didn't take long to get to the office. The receptionist had just tried calling him without success, and when she saw him walk in, she quickly mentioned that someone named Austin was looking for him.

Emmitt raised an eyebrow, puzzled. An uncle? That was news to him. He headed up in the elevator, his curiosity piqued.

After dropping off his coat in his office, he made his way to the meeting room, taking his time. The door was slightly open, and Austin and Jules had stopped talking, leaving an awkward silence hanging in the air.

Emmitt stepped in, keeping his expression neutral as he took in the sight of the two men on the sofa. "What can I do for you guys?" he asked.

Austin looked up, locking eyes with the young man who had just entered. Emmitt had an undeniable presence, with sharp features and a commanding aura that could rival any blue-blooded heir from Riverdale.

Austin was momentarily taken aback but quickly stood up. "You must be Emmitt?"

"That's right. And you are?" Emmitt replied, staying a few steps away, his voice polite but curious.

"I'm Austin, your mom Delilah's brother, your uncle," Austin explained, looking younger than his forty-something years.

Emmitt was taken aback. His mom had never mentioned her family, let alone an estrangement from them. Hearing this guy call himself his uncle and name-dropping his mom was a surprise, but it also set off warning bells. The man's polite demeanor couldn't hide the arrogance in his eyes, making Emmitt wary.

Emmitt's gaze sharpened a bit, not bothering to dwell on the identity claim. "So, what's this about?" he asked directly.
