The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 653

As soon as she tapped open her private messages, it felt like stepping into a minefield of insults.

"Little missy, instead of hitting the books, you're out there playing girlfriend-for-hire. Morally bankrupt, much?"

"I used to be a fan, now all I feel is disgust."

"Claiming to be a top student at some fancy high school, pffft, I bet your 'model student' image is just a big fat lie!"

"Unfollowing, you don't deserve to be my bro’s sister."

...

Mirabella had barely skimmed through a few messages when her phone was snatched away. She turned to her side, eyebrows raised slightly at the sight of her brother Leo, who was sitting next to her with a furious scowl.

Unlike Mirabella's calm demeanor, Leo's face was stormier than when he was the target of online trolls himself. "Don't read those," he muttered, clutching the phone tightly.

Even the strongest of minds could be wounded by the sharp knives of cyberbullying. Although his sister often seemed more composed than him, she was still just an eighteen-year-old girl. She didn't deserve this kind of slander.

Collins, who was driving, caught the tension in his client's voice and glanced up in the rearview mirror, his brow creasing with concern. “What’s going on?”

He had been focused on the road, oblivious to the storm brewing on Twitter.

“Mirabella’s personal info got leaked,” Leo said, his gaze fixed ahead.

He didn’t mention the insults. The harsh words unsaid seemed to hang in the air.

After some more digging and speaking with a loyal fan, Leo finally pieced together the whole picture.

His sister was caught in a photo with a high-profile figure, leading to malicious rumors about her being 'kept'. The post had touched on someone influential, so it was swiftly deleted, and the photos vanished from the web.

But Leo’s trusty fan had taken screenshots and sent them over.

He scoffed after reviewing the images. Without discussing them with Mirabella or probing her about the details, he opened Twitter and fired off a missive:

“Standing next to someone of the opposite sex equals loose morals? Did your brains take a holiday when you said that? Ever thought about how your parents would feel hearing such trash?”

This was the first time Leo openly confronted his followers with such a charged tweet. And with his massive following, the response was instant – his Twitter exploded, igniting the comment section into a frenzy.
