The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 295

Half an hour later, Mirabella arrived at the address Wyatt had sent her. She had barely stepped out of the taxi when Wyatt, who had been waiting by the entrance of the residential complex, spotted her.

Striding towards her, he saw the taxi speed away, and noticing that she was alone, a wave of disappointment washed over him. However, he quickly mustered a forced smile and said, “Ms. Mirabella, has the person who crafts the incense... not arrived yet?”

Mirabella glanced at Wyatt. “No, they haven’t.”

Wyatt took this to mean the person might be running late. He nodded and said, “Oh... well then, let’s go inside. I’ll come back out when they get here.”

With a soft hum of agreement, Mirabella didn’t offer further explanation.

Wyatt’s car was parked on the curb. He courteously opened the door for Mirabella, waited for her to get in, and then closed it behind her before taking his place in the driver’s seat. Soon after, with a swipe of a card, the gates to the complex opened, and Wyatt drove through.

Minutes later, Mirabella stepped out of the car and cast a brief, indifferent glance at the villa before following Wyatt inside.

Inside the spacious villa, several people stood in a tense atmosphere. Mirabella’s gaze swept the room, pausing slightly upon seeing Nikolai and another person beside him, but she quickly regained her composure.

James was slouched on the sofa, his face ghostly pale and his lips devoid of any color. Noticing Mirabella’s entrance, he was visibly taken aback. Then his eyes shifted to Wyatt, instantly realizing that Wyatt had brought her.

James straightened up slightly, but this movement caused a tumult in his chest, leading to a violent cough. Blood tinged the corner of his lips, which he calmly wiped away with a tissue.
