The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 575

Brenton's face turned ghostly white as he abruptly ended the call. He cast a quick glance in James's direction, barely acknowledging him before signaling his crew of about a dozen men to clear out.

They had stormed in and were now storming out just as fast.

Soon, the room was calm again.

Curtis glanced at the main door, noting the time. Exactly two minutes.

He exchanged a knowing look with Wyatt, whose surprise matched his own. Their eyes said it all: 'This guy is definitely something else.'

"So, do I still qualify to do business with James?" Toby finally broke the silence.

James's lips curled into a slight smirk, amusement dancing on his handsome face. Instead of a direct answer, he remarked, "Looks like you've got the chops to bring down the Bishop family."

Toby seemed to recall some old memories and advised, "Best to keep a low profile, though."

James raised an eyebrow, casually picking up his coffee cup. He toasted the air with it, took a sip, and stood up.

Without another word, he headed for the door.

Curtis and Wyatt nodded at Toby and followed James out.

Toby stayed seated, watching the three men until they disappeared from view. He let out a long sigh.

Yep, these guys were no pushovers.

In the car.

"Toby's quite the character," Wyatt remarked.

At the intersection ahead, Wyatt signaled a turn and said, "Picking up Ms. Mirabella from the library."

Hearing that, Curtis checked the rearview mirror and decided not to pry further. But then something else came to mind, and he added, "Oh, by the way, I found out who was tailing our car last time."

"Huh?" It took Wyatt a few seconds to process, then he turned to Curtis, "Who was it?"

After a moment of silence, Curtis revealed, "It seems they weren't following James... they were after Ms. Mirabella."

"Wait, following Ms. Mirabella? What's that got to do with her?" Wyatt was puzzled, trying to connect the dots.

Scratching his head, Curtis explained, "The Davis family. It might not be as straightforward as the info you found before."

James, who had been texting in the back seat, looked up, intrigued by the conversation.

"I don't have all the details yet; it's a bit complicated, but let's just say it's not simple," Curtis said with a serious tone.
