The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1161

After a moment, Kitty shook her head with a touch of sarcasm. "Well, that checks out. You've been gone for years, never showing any respect or care for Dad. Naturally, you wouldn't give a damn whether he's kicking or not."

Delilah's face tightened at those words, and her grip on her daughter's hand got a little firmer.

Mirabella shot a glance at Kitty. "As far as I know, wasn't it your Cunningham family that tossed my mom out without a second thought? What, got a case of selective memory?"

Kitty, who was always treated with respect wherever she went, couldn't stand being called out by someone younger. Her temper flared. "Watch your mouth, young lady. This is adult talk."

Delilah's expression turned icy. "Why shouldn't my daughter speak? She's speaking on my behalf. Who do you think you are, playing the elder card here?"

She could handle any insults aimed at her, but mess with her daughter? No way.

Kitty's face soured. "You..."

"Let it go, Mirabella. We're all family here. It's just a kid talking," Austin jumped in, cutting Kitty off. Then he turned to Delilah, "Sis, don't get upset. Kitty's just worried about Donald's health and got carried away."

Delilah took a small sip of her coffee. "My daughter isn't wrong. We all know what happened back then. Don't try to guilt-trip me with family ties. I owe nothing to your Cunningham family."

"Don't forget, you're still a Song," Kitty sneered.

"There are a lot of Songs out there," Delilah replied coolly. "Besides, you all severed ties with me over twenty years ago. Why drag this up now and embarrass your own family?"

"You're just being difficult," Kitty muttered, turning away, avoiding Delilah's indifferent gaze.

Just then, waiters came in to serve the meal, breaking the tension in the room.
