The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 163

Back in the car, Delilah's haughty expression had fallen away, replaced by irritation. "I'm so annoyed. What's up with the Gilbert family? They just come up and demand Mirabella switch schools as if they own the place!"

Shawn turned to look at his fuming wife and couldn't help but laugh. "The way you tossed that check was super cool."

Delilah shot him a glare, her voice tinged with exasperation. "Is the check toss really the point? They're accusing Mira of bullying Summer. Mira is so sweet-natured. How could she possibly bully anyone? This is just absurd!"

Through the time they'd spent together, Delilah had come to understand her daughter's temperament pretty well. Even when Emmitt misunderstood her, she couldn't be bothered to engage, her indifference being such that she was more likely to be bullied than to bully others.

Shawn was silent for a couple of seconds before he spoke, "I think Summer must have said something at home; otherwise, the Gilberts wouldn't have come after us today."

Delilah frowned, "But to say our girl bullied Summer, I just don't believe it."

Shawn crossed his arms, "Why don't we just ask Mira when she gets out of her exam later? That'll clear things up."

"Right," Delilah sighed, her thoughts drifting back to Mandy's expression when she whipped out that check. Turning to her husband, she said with a tinge of frustration, "Shawn, do you think we've been too low-profile?"

Shawn stroked his chin, eyeing the Santana emblem on the steering wheel, and for the first time, he found himself agreeing with his wife, "I think so, too."

Being smacked with a check in public? That was just unbelievable.
