The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1186

Kitty had locked down her computer with a password, and some of her most important files were encrypted for added security.

She quickly found a hidden folder, and after entering the password, her mood soured. The photos and audio files she expected to see were gone. If they'd vanished from a cloud service, she might've blamed it on the unreliability of online storage. But from her own computer? That was a different story.

Her fingers tightened around the mouse as she refused to give up, searching through every drive on her computer in hopes of finding the missing files. But no matter where she looked, they were nowhere to be found.

Frustrated, Kitty tossed the mouse aside and pinched the bridge of her nose, sitting silently for a few minutes. When she finally lowered her hand, the light overhead was bright, but her eyes were cold and steely. She had clearly underestimated that girl, who had managed to pull this off without leaving a trace. No wonder there had been no reaction when she sent those photos; the girl had a trick or two up her sleeve.

Just then, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. She got up to answer it.

"Mom, are you okay?" asked Yara, who had noticed her mom rushing upstairs as soon as she got home and had come to check in.

By the time Kitty opened the door, she'd masked her emotions, smiling and shaking her head. "What could possibly be wrong?"

Yara didn’t see anything unusual and smiled back. "Glad to hear it."

Kitty took a moment to admire her daughter's beautiful face, her simplicity graced with the elegance of a well-bred lady. It was a stark contrast to Delilah's daughter, who seemed wild from head to toe. She couldn't understand why anyone from the Shepherd family would associate with such a rough girl.
