The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1148

Austin jotted down the name of his hotel and his room number on a business card and handed it to Emmitt. "No need for a long chat. Just let your mom know. My hotel's address is on there. Our flight's at 10 PM, and we'll be leaving the hotel by 8 at the latest. Whether she wants to come back to Riverdale with me or see her real dad one last time, that's up to her."

Without waiting for Emmitt to take the card, Austin casually placed it on the coffee table nearby. He shot a look at Jules, then walked out of the room with an air of inexplicable chilliness.

Jules watched Emmitt, opened his mouth as if to say something, but all that came out was a resigned sigh before he quickly followed Austin out.

Emmitt's eyes lingered on the doorway for a moment before he turned back, picked up the card from the coffee table, and studied the hotel info. He narrowed his eyes slightly before slipping the card into his pocket.

Jules tagged along with Austin as they left Emmitt's office building. Glancing at Austin, he remarked, "Doesn't look like we're getting anywhere with Emmitt."

Austin's face was set in a deep frown. If it weren't for Donald's illness, Emmitt's attitude would have been more than enough to stir up some serious trouble.

Jules paused before suggesting, "Miss Delilah's got another son who's a lawyer. Maybe we should try him?"

Standing on the sidewalk, Austin glanced at Jules, his tone icy. "No need. Let's just head back to the hotel."

"But with Emmitt's attitude... there's a chance he won't pass the message to Miss Mira," Jules said, sounding a bit anxious.

They had hoped that finding Emmitt would be a turning point, but instead, they were met with arrogance and coldness.

What kind of family had Miss Mira married into? Did compassion skip a generation with them?
