The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 282

Clutching the panda plushie that seemed to inflate upon liberation from its vacuum seal, Leo's eyes simmered with a brooding gaze at Mirabella.

Mirabella cleared her throat with a hint of awkwardness. "The panda is a treasure, you know, a sort of mascot. And all your fans call you their lucky charm, Leo. I think it's fitting."

"It's not the same!"

Leo felt his image as the cool older sibling was shattered entirely. He even suspected that his sister had started treating him like a younger brother. No, scratch that, not even a brother, considering the fluffy toy Mirabella gifted him was the kind only little girls adored.

Zach, observing Leo's look of utter despair, couldn't help but feel a sense of completion. Indeed, his sister's knack for knocking people down a peg seemed even more brutal than his own.

As Mirabella parted her lips to speak, Shawn interjected. "If you don't want it, can I have it? I've been looking for a cute little thing to put on my bedside table," said Shawn, shooting a glance at his youngest son.

Upon hearing this, Leo, albeit begrudgingly and under intimidating paternal pressure, mumbled a response, "Who said I didn't want it?"

Leo was at a loss for words. His status in this household seemed to be plummeting by the second.

Delilah, setting her perfume to the side, chimed in, "By the way, darling, did you get any trophies?"

Mirabella nodded, "Yes." With that, she made her way to her suitcase, flipped it open, and pulled out a trophy, a certificate of achievement, and a letter of unconditional acceptance from Prestige College.

The trophy and the certificate were symbols of honor, but it was that letter from Prestige College that truly carried weight.
