The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1170

The next day rolled around, and being a Saturday, Mirabella had the day off from school.

In the afternoon, Delilah was busy upstairs, sorting through some things, when her phone started buzzing on the coffee table. She didn’t hear it, but Mirabella, who was lounging on the couch, noticed. While texting her friends, she hesitated for a second before reaching over to check the caller ID. The number seemed familiar, so she picked up the phone.

It was Austin on the line.

Mirabella didn’t say anything at first, letting Austin take the lead. He told her about a banquet he was organizing under the Cunningham family’s name, inviting people from the elite circles. This call was his way of saying he agreed to the conditions Mirabella had set the night before.

After he finished, Austin realized the other end was silent, so he pulled the phone away to see if the call was still connected. It was. Just as he was about to ask something, a cool, young voice cut in.

“What time?” Mirabella asked nonchalantly.

She wasn’t exactly shocked by the call. Given how much effort Austin and Kitty had put into helping Romero, it was only expected they’d cave to her demands. Still, she was sure this banquet wasn’t about making amends.

Austin was momentarily thrown off, surprised that Mirabella answered, but he quickly got his bearings. “Seven o’clock. Oh, and Mira, where are you staying now? Maybe my uncle could swing by to pick you up...”

Before he could finish, the call ended with the beep of a hang-up tone. Austin paused mid-sentence, his expression slightly stiff.

Kitty, sitting across from him, caught that look and couldn’t help but let a hint of sarcasm show. Just because they knew the president of the pharmacists association, they were bending over backward to please, yet look how they were treated.

Kitty let out a small scoff but kept her face neutral. “All set?”

Austin masked his feelings with a casual nod, putting his phone away. “Tonight’s banquet is important. Try to keep your temper under control,” he advised her.
