The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 630

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Zach sauntered into the living room, whistling a light tune. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his sister and mom locked in a curious, slightly mysterious gaze. "What's going on here, guys?" he asked, eyebrow raised.

Mirabella broke the stare, her voice steady. "Oh, just talking about why this month's finances haven't been sorted out yet."

The mention of finances sent a chill down Zach's spine. The last time he got involved with family business matters, he ended up in a rather personal mixed doubles showdown.

Delilah's eyes shifted from Mirabella to Zach, and as her gaze landed on him, he shuddered. "Mom, relax! I swear, the finance mess isn't my fault!"

With a smile, Delilah stood up. "Zach, honey, let's have a little chat in the den, okay?"

Zach's face fell. "I refuse!"

"Come on now, you're a grown man acting like a scaredy-cat. I just want to talk," Delilah said, her tone gentle yet firm.

She sighed softly, looped her arm through Zach's, and with a touch of motherly love, began to steer him upstairs.

Dragged away and wrongly accused, Zach shot a desperate look back at Mirabella.

Mirabella cleared her throat, pretending not to notice Zach's pleading eyes, and turned to chat with Nick.

Nick nodded, not digging deeper, and they shifted the conversation to alternative medicine.

As they chatted, Mirabella felt her phone buzz. She pulled it out and saw a message from Vincent: "This math problem was from your teacher, right? Did you solve it?"

She quickly replied, "Yeah, already solved and submitted it."

Vincent's response was a simple "..."

Nick noticed his sister texting and paused, giving her space. Once she was done, Mirabella looked up and explained, "Just a classmate asking about a math problem."
