The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 371

After dinner, Mirabella and Leo left Herb & Hearth, and by the time they got home, it was well past ten o'clock.

Delilah and Shawn had already retreated to their rooms, leaving only Zach lounging in the living room. Upon seeing the pair, his eyes lit up with a touch of playful annoyance. "Oh, look who decided to show up!" His tone was laced with an unmistakable edge.

Mirabella cast him a nonchalant glance.

Zach was taken aback, his inner monologue screaming, 'So they waltz in late and act all high and mighty!'

"Zach, we just went out for a bite," Leo interjected, trying to smooth things over.

Zach let out a sarcastic chuckle. "What's wrong with the food here at home?"

Leo fell silent. After spending some time around Zach, he was all too familiar with his brother's penchant for hidden barbs whenever jealousy struck.

Changing the subject, Zach's playful facade dropped, and his expression grew serious. "So, Leo, what's the deal with the stuff blowing up online?"

Leo's lips curled into a wry smile as he spoke with casual resignation, "Someone's trying to frame me."

As Mirabella poured herself a glass of water, she leaned casually against the kitchen counter, her eyes slightly narrowed, taking a leisurely sip.

Zach's brows knitted together in concern. "I’ve already set the legal team on drafting a cease and desist. Don't worry about it." He knew his brother better than anyone. Accusations of Leo stealing songs from his team were absurd.

"Thanks, Zach," Leo replied, appreciative.

Zach waved it off and probed further, "How did your music end up in that guy's hands, anyway? Did one of your assistants get bought out?"

Every artist had a unique style, and it was not something that could be simply copied.

Zach nodded in agreement. "I believe you."

Mirabella quietly listened as they talked. After finishing the last sip of water from her glass, she stood up straight and said, "Zach, Leo, you two should get some rest. I'm heading upstairs."

Soon after, Mirabella returned to her room. She booted up her laptop, and her fingers danced across the keyboard. Fifteen minutes later, she shut the computer, grabbed a set of pajamas from her wardrobe, and headed into the bathroom.
