The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 572

Just as Johnny's indifference towards his foster daughter seemed similar to how Mandy's driver acted, she started to wonder if the "misunderstanding" Johnny mentioned had something to do with that foster daughter.

Could it be that Gilbert Corporation was originally in line to win the contract, but thanks to some meddling by her foster daughter, they lost the opportunity?

The more Mandy thought about it, the more convinced she became.

After all, her foster daughter had just seen her but acted like she was a complete stranger, blatantly ignoring her.

Feeling annoyed and her thoughts all over the place, Mandy got into her car.

Meanwhile, in James's car.

"Got anywhere in mind for this afternoon?" James turned to look at Mirabella.

Mirabella had been lounging lazily in her seat since she got in. After a beat, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Weren't we heading to the library?"

A playful smile tugged at James's lips. "You sure?" That had just been a random excuse to leave the earlier gathering.

After thinking for a moment, Mirabella replied, "Well, I’ve got nothing better to do. If it’s on the way, you could drop me off."

She did have some research to catch up on.

James glanced at her, then told Wyatt, "To the library."

Twenty minutes later.

As Mirabella was about to step out of the car, James spoke up, "What time should I pick you up?"

She paused and turned to look at him.

James cleared his throat lightly, "I’ve got some errands nearby, should be done around four-thirty."

Catching on, she nodded, "Just text me when you’re done."

"Will do."
