The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1465

"James," Summer greeted him proactively.

James gave Summer a fleeting glance, his eyes as indifferent as ever, and did not respond.

Summer was well aware of the temperament typical of the aristocracy and gently fiddled with her fingers, glancing at the closed door before speaking again, "May I have a word?"

James stood still. "What is it?"

"Yes," Summer nodded, and after a moment's thought, she added, "About Mirabella."

Hearing the mention of Mirabella, James's expression shifted slightly, and he followed Summer.

The old house wasn't very soundproof. Summer led James upstairs but didn't enter any room; instead, they stood in the hallway.

Turning to face him, Summer was momentarily dazzled by the man's handsome features, which, however, couldn't stir any other feelings in her. Still, she envied Mirabella for having such a distinguished man so devotedly by her side.

Collecting her thoughts, Summer averted her gaze towards the staircase and, after a while, slowly said, "James, haven't you noticed Mirabella seems quite different from before?"

James narrowed his eyes slightly. "What are you implying?"

Summer just smiled and withdrew her gaze. "Nothing much, just a heads-up. Not everyone is as they appear. Who knows, she might turn into someone else entirely in the next moment."

Though Summer's words were cryptic, they weren't too hard to grasp. James, unfazed, simply responded, "And what of it?"

Summer's smile remained. "Nothing really, just worried you might get duped by some trickster, especially since the world's full of strange tales."

"Interestingly, I have a penchant for the unusual," James said calmly, standing by the banister.
