The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 585

The production team initially planned to pair the four teams by drawing lots, but considering the delicate relationship between the Siblings and Heather's crew, the director made an unusually considerate decision to let the teams choose their own partners.

Heather and Michelle had been quite over-the-top in their recent performances, so neither Hans's nor Gabriel's team was thrilled about teaming up with them. They also knew there was no way Mirabella would pair up with Heather, given their history.

In the end, Hans, being the most senior, bit the bullet and volunteered to team up with Heather and Michelle, smoothly avoiding any awkwardness.

Gabriel, more reserved by nature, breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he wouldn't be paired with Heather. Despite Heather's rising stardom and her high status in showbiz, Gabriel knew she looked down on him. Sure, she might play nice on camera, but off-camera? Who knows? She might even think he was trying to ride her coattails.

Why invite trouble? It was much better to team up with the Siblings. They were all young, with no hidden agendas, and besides, Gabriel had a certain respect for Mirabella.

Soon after the teams were settled, the crew ushered them into what looked like a run-down cottage.

In the yard were two piles of renovation tools and materials: wood, electric drills, concrete, bricks, and a heap of old rags—everything needed for a home makeover.

The houses they were to remodel were side by side.

After each team picked a house, the host announced that their rustic life experience was officially underway.

"Leave it to the crew to come up with something like a home renovation challenge," Gabriel muttered as he pushed open the rickety wooden door.

The cottage had been abandoned by the villagers for years, and since the production hadn't bothered to clean it, a cloud of dust fell and settled on Gabriel's head as the door moved.
