The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 451

After Collins left, Leo slumped onto the couch, clutching a throw pillow as he observed his sister sunk deep in thought. After a moment, he sat up straight, abandoning the pillow with a serious demeanor. "Mira," he said earnestly, "you know, our family really isn't short on cash." He had wanted to say this for the longest time but kept getting interrupted.

Mirabella's lips twitched slightly. Alright then. Her curiosity, piqued by Zach earlier, hadn't been quenched, and now Leo was offering answers on a silver platter.

This was perfect. She was quite eager to learn what he meant by their family not lacking money.

A puzzled expression crossed Mirabella's face as she said, "Aren't we still in debt, though?"

Leo, blissfully unaware he'd been duped, gave her an incredulous look. "Who told you we're in debt?" he asked. Was this why she was so adamant about making money?

Blinking in surprise, Mirabella replied, "I saw a group of debt collectors at our house not long ago."

"Debt collectors?" Leo's brow furrowed in thought, then something clicked, and he looked up at Mirabella. "Are you talking about a bunch of guys in matching black suits, beefy and looking a bit shady?"

Mirabella's eyebrows arched in recognition. His description was spot-on. No further details were necessary. She nodded.

Seeing this, Leo smiled with an "I knew it" expression. "You've got it all wrong. Those weren't debt collectors; they were the company's accountants."

"Company accountants?" Mirabella echoed, her elegant fingers tapping her chin in confusion.
