The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 457

"Thank God that knucklehead used a stage name back in the day," Shawn mused with a sigh of relief, "otherwise, we'd never hear the end of it out in public."

Delilah cast a silent glance at her husband, choosing to remain wordless.

"Our daughter's the real star, though, isn't she? Everything she does is done with such grace and care. She's been her brother's angel." Shawn stroked his chin, his pride lifting his posture as he spoke of his daughter.

The mention brought a bittersweet expression to Delilah's face. "I can't even begin to think about all the hardships she must've endured growing up."

Her composure under such trying circumstances was a testament to the resilience she had built from a young age. Every time Delilah read the online comments mocking her daughter as some country bumpkin, she felt a mix of anger and pain.

Shawn patted his wife's shoulder, trying to offer comfort. "That's all water under the bridge now."

The baby-switching incident had taken everyone by surprise, but thankfully, their biological daughter had returned to them, and she was nothing short of spectacular.

"Let's get back to the livestream," Delilah suggested, adjusting her position on the couch and picking up her smartphone.

Shawn hummed in agreement, but quickly, something seemed to strike him. He looked up at Delilah. "Oh, I almost forgot. Someone's been snooping around about us."

Delilah's brow furrowed slightly. "Who would that be? And why are they poking around us?"

"I overheard some chatter at the office yesterday. No clue who it is," Shawn replied with a shake of his head.

Delilah, struck by a thought, quickly suggested, "Maybe we should have someone keep an eye on Mira for a while."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same. We can't let what happened to Nick happen again," Shawn said, his tone heavy with concern.
