The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 391

Delilah eased her car into the garage with practiced precision, and as she stepped out into the cool evening air, she noticed Zach was still in the yard, waiting for her. She walked towards him with an unusual expression, “Why aren’t you inside?”

Zach’s gaze lingered on his mother’s face before he spoke, “Mom, did you meet with Summer tonight?”

At the mention of Summer, a shadow crossed Delilah’s face, and she took a moment before nodding, “Yeah, she had something to discuss with me.”

Zach fell silent for a beat, “About Leo, right?”

A soft hum escaped Delilah, laced with a pang of sorrow. “I never imagined she could do something like this, completely disregarding years of sibling bonds.”

Had it not been for the call she received from Summer, Delilah would have been oblivious to the online debacle, and she wouldn’t have fathomed Summer's personality becoming so radical.

“It’s probably because she feels we have wronged her somehow,” Zach said with a calm detachment.

He vividly remembered the day Summer turned her back on the Davis family, sneering at their modest means, eager to leave what she deemed a life too shabby for her taste.

Despite being raised with the finest of everything, from clothes to education, she still resented their family’s lack of wealth, craving a life of affluence that they couldn’t provide.

What was more ludicrous was that she might've not even remembered the reasons behind Nick’s departure to a foreign land.

Zach collected his thoughts and asked, “Mom, she wants you to get Leo to clear things up online, doesn’t she?”

Delilah’s smile was tinged with bitterness as she nodded. The daughter she had cared for had hurt her own flesh and blood; the irony of it all was not lost on her.

Zach’s lips twisted wryly. “I thought as much. Everyone has to face the consequences of their actions. You don’t have to put yourself in a difficult position over a sense of kinship that has lost its meaning.”
