The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 450

After Mirabella finished speaking, she noticed Shawn's expression was none too pleased. Although puzzled, she didn't press the matter. She had grown accustomed to his mercurial moods.

Ten minutes later, Leo walked through the front door, his agent Collins in tow. When Leo entered the living room and spotted Mirabella and Shawn, he greeted them warmly, "Hey, Dad, Mirabella, I'm back."

"Hello Leo." Mirabella stood up to pour him a glass of water and nodded at Collins, offering him one as well.

Shawn just grunted a vague acknowledgment before heading upstairs. Watching his father's retreating figure, Leo felt an unmistakable chill of unwelcome in the air. Scratching his nose, Leo was baffled. He'd been away for a few days. Shouldn't Shawn be a bit more cheerful about his return?

Puzzled, Leo turned to his sister and asked, "Mirabella, is Dad in a bad mood today?"

"No, he seemed pretty okay to me."

"Huh, guess it was just me then." Leo shook his head and settled into the couch.

Having finished his water, Collins pulled out a contract from his briefcase. "Mira, here's that sports brand ad contract. Take a look." He handed the document to Mirabella, who lit up as if she were holding a treasure.

"I've skimmed through it already, and there are no major issues. Just need your signature," Collins added.

Mirabella quickly flipped through the contract, pausing a full minute to review the section detailing the ad's payout. Then, without hesitation, she flipped to the last page, grabbed a pen, and signed her name.
