The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1181

Austin was feeling pretty frustrated and turned to Atlas with a stern tone, "Move aside."

Atlas just gave him a sideways glance. That look, calm as it seemed, had an underlying threat that made Austin shiver instinctively. He'd forgotten that Atlas wasn't someone to mess with.

Austin took a step back, not daring to push his luck any further.

"You've got one day to sort out the assets that rightfully belong to our lady's mother," Atlas said with a cool indifference.

Austin, his face set in a grim expression, was about to protest, but Atlas cut him off.

"Of course, if you're not willing to do it yourself, I don't mind stepping in. But my help comes with a price so steep the Cunningham family won't be able to handle it." Atlas's presence was so intimidating that no one doubted he meant every word.

"Why should I? Who do you think you are?" Kitty chimed in, biting her lip.

Atlas's gaze flicked to Kitty. "Don't worry, you're not slipping away either." Then, turning back to Austin, he added, "Remember, you've got just one day. Exceed that, and you won't like what happens next."

With that, he turned and left, his entourage trailing behind.

Once Atlas and his crew were gone, the previously silent ballroom seemed to come alive again as voices started buzzing.

"Sorry, Mr. Cunningham, I just remembered something urgent at home. I need to leave."

"We should head out too."

"My apologies."
