The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 411

Mirabella cast sympathetic glance toward Zach, and she couldn't help but feel bad for the guy. The poor guy. Not only was he girlfriend-less, but he was also on the receiving end of his parents' disapproval.

Zach caught his sister's eye and instantly, his expression darkened even more. "What's with that look, sis? You think this is funny?" he grumbled.

Caught in the crossfire, Mirabella silently withdrew her gaze and said obediently, "Mom and Dad are right. If you don't date, you'll never find someone, Zach."

That was the third time Zach felt like he'd been attacked.

"See, even your sister agrees with us. So it's settled—you're going on that blind date on Saturday. If you don't show, don't bother coming home," Delilah declared with finality.

Zach just stood there, now absolutely convinced that his parents and sister simply wanted to live as a trio, concocting this blind date excuse to kick him to the curb.

They were a trio of devils.

Mirabella polished off her last bite of a breakfast sandwich, wiped her fingers clean with a napkin, then stood up and patted Zach on the shoulder. "Hang in there, Zach. Find yourself a girl, will ya?"

Enough was enough!

In high spirits, Mirabella grabbed her backpack and soon followed Shawn out the door.

Halfway to school, it dawned on her that she'd left her phone on the charger. There was no time to go back, so she gave Shawn a heads up, just in case he tried calling her later and couldn't get through.

"He's been complaining about not being able to reach you, asking whether you plan on shirking responsibility," Anthony summarized the old man's words for her.

Mirabella listened, her expression unreadable, and simply stated, "I forgot my phone at home today."

So that explained why her phone had died overnight—it must have been bombarded by calls.

Rubbing her temples, Mirabella felt a headache coming on. Just as she had suspected—aside from her grandmother Catherine, other elderly people seemed to bring nothing but trouble.

Anthony, looking at Mirabella, then suggested, "How about this? I'll go with you to the hospital right now, and we can try to clear things up."
