The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1182

As Austin and Kitty were both caught up in their own frustrations, Mr. Wright, the lawyer who hadn't yet left, turned to Austin and finally spoke up, "Mr. Austin, it’s probably a good idea to start sorting out Miss Delilah's inheritance sooner rather than later."

Hearing Mr. Wright’s voice brought Austin back to reality, realizing the lawyer was still there. He was just about to respond when Kitty stepped in, "Mr. Wright, you’ve got some nerve, taking all that money from us just to hand over the will to an outsider."

Kitty shot Mr. Wright a cold glare. She had hoped that someone from the Shepherd family would come and smooth over the whole mess with the audio and the will.

Mr. Wright lowered his head, letting Kitty vent her anger. Once she was done, he finally said, "Regardless, Mr. Austin, miss, it would be best to sort out and return Miss Delilah's share of the inheritance. It’s for the best..."
