The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 478

Beneath the lavish gifts, there was bound to be a hidden agenda.

Mirabella glanced at James and responded with an almost emotionless tone, "Yeah, but there's not much left."

James could sense the reluctance in her voice. He casually took out his phone, opened his banking app, and transferred twelve thousand bucks to her in two quick taps.

When Mirabella's phone chimed twice, she looked at James and fished out her device. Her fingers paused over the notification of the transfer, and she said with mock severity, "Really, what's this about? It's just sandalwood. I've got plenty of that. When we get back, I'll just hand you a box. No need for all this fuss!"

James' eyes flicked to the confirmation of payment on his screen, and he chuckled in response.

After accepting the transfer, something else seemed to strike Mirabella. "Oh, and you mentioned you've had some heart palpitations, right?"

James just watched her quietly, sensing he might not want to hear what was coming next.

"I'll throw in a bottle of heart pills for you, too. Good for all sorts of cardiac emergencies," she offered generously.

James was speechless, and in the driver's seat, Wyatt almost couldn't contain his laughter. Ms. Mirabella was surely heaven-sent to keep James in line. Her words never followed the expected script.

Having received a hefty sum, Mirabella turned to gaze out the car window. Her black coat made her skin even more striking, and her usually sharp features softened with her good mood, adding a touch of serene grace.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Mendoza Estate. Numerous luxury cars were parked outside the estate, yet James' vehicle was the most unassuming and discreet among them.

Stepping out of the car, Mirabella gave a quick glance around before adjusting her coat.

Soon after, Wyatt came over with gifts in hand, handing one to Mirabella. "Ms. Mirabella, this is a present James picked out, especially for you."
