The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 474

Mirabella stuffed her hands into her sweater pockets, occasionally glancing down at the pavement as she walked, her silhouette exuding an air of casual relaxation that seemed at odds with her somber mood.

She had slowed her pace from earlier, and after a bit, that unsettling sensation of being followed had vanished. It was an odd occurrence that didn't sit well with her.

A rare severity shone in Mirabella's eyes.

Her phone buzzed again in her pocket. It was Shawn checking in to see why it was taking her so long to come back home. Her response was brief, assuring him she'd return shortly before hanging up.

She looped around the neighborhood a few more times, and when nothing else out of the ordinary presented itself, Mirabella leisurely strolled back home.

Upon entering the house, she exchanged a few words with Shawn, who was lounging on the couch engrossed in a TV show. Remembering the earlier incident, she asked nonchalantly, "Dad, you haven’t run into any odd characters lately, have you?"

Shawn glanced at his daughter and offered her a freshly peeled orange. His brow furrowed in confusion. "Odd characters? No, why do you ask all of a sudden?" Could it be that Mirabella had spotted Grady's people again?

Mirabella accepted the orange and methodically peeled a segment, speaking with a slight muffle, "I heard there had been some unsavory characters tailing residents around here. Just keep an eye out, both you and Mom."

Shawn paused, "Really? That’s happening?"

"Yeah, heard about it when I went out to get some documents printed," Mirabella lied smoothly.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind," Shawn replied, his face betraying no hint of concern. Instead, he seemed relieved. As long as his daughter hadn't noticed those from the company.

Mirabella eyed him suspiciously. His reaction seemed off. Shaking off the thought, she finished her orange and said, "Dad, I'm going to a dinner at my friend's house tomorrow night, so you don’t need to pick me up in the afternoon."
