The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 589

The crew made their way back to the cozy courtyard where lunch was waiting. Long tables were set up under the sun, and the spread of dishes was already sending out inviting aromas. Mirabella took one look at the feast and raised an eyebrow. "Did the production team hit the jackpot or something? This lunch looks amazing!"

Her mic was still on, so naturally, Walker heard her loud and clear. He took a big bite of his sandwich, as if to vent some frustration.

"This looks like it's been made by a celebrity chef," Hans, the foodie of the group, remarked with appreciation.

Exhausted from the day's activities, Heather didn't wait for anyone else to sit down before collapsing into a chair. She rolled her eyes at Hans' comment, too tired to be impressed.

Michelle settled in beside her cousin, scanning the dishes laid out before them. Most looked pretty standard, but two in particular caught her eye—two plates, each with a different preparation of turtle.

She didn't think much of it at first glance and soon was absorbed in her phone, tuning into the live stream. The chat was buzzing as the camera panned across the day's lunch spread, and for once, it seemed free of any trolls targeting her or Heather.

Just as Michelle was about to close the app, a few new comments caught her attention, causing her face to stiffen.

"Did anyone notice the two dishes in front of Heather and Michelle? A pair of turtles."

"Ahem, it's like the tortoise and the hare, isn't it?"

"Tortoise and hare, suddenly it's got a whole new flavor."

"I suspect the production team is throwing shade at Heather and Michelle."

"Yeah, why else would those dishes be right in front of them?"

"Shh, let's just keep it to ourselves before we get shredded by their hardcore fans."

"Shut up with the nonsense!" *repeated multiple times

...

Meanwhile, Mirabella had carried her food tray to the back kitchen where a small table and chair awaited her. Sitting down, she removed her mask and began to eat, occasionally checking the live stream.

She was greeted by a flood of "Shut up with the nonsense!" comments scrolling past. Touching her nose, she couldn't help but wonder who they were targeting—it seemed someone was having a rough time.

But it didn't take long for the inappropriate commenters to be silenced by the moderators, and the chat returned to normal.

After a quick look, Mirabella exited the live stream, set her phone aside, and focused on her meal. And she had to admit, today's takeout was exceptionally good.
