The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 659

On the other side of town, Michelle had been glued to her Twitter feed. She had felt a rush of schadenfreude when the dirt on Mirabella started to circulate, relishing the backlash the internet was dishing out. But just ten minutes ago, the tide of public opinion had shifted dramatically, thanks to a tweet from some hotshot lawyer who'd come out of nowhere.

Michelle's face, once lit with spiteful glee, now bore a furrow of concern.

"What's the word on the web?" Heather asked casually as she inspected her freshly manicured, ruby-red nails.

Michelle's gaze remained fixed on her phone screen. "It's looking pretty grim."

Heather paused mid-polish and looked up at her cousin. "Some lawyer's popped up out of the blue, claims he's Juztin's big brother or something. He's retweeted the whole mess, vowing to hold whoever spilled the beans accountable," Michelle explained slowly.

Heather scoffed dismissively, "It's just a PR stunt, a damage control move. Do you really think he can dig up anything substantial?"

Such tactics were standard in showbiz, and Heather knew them like the back of her hand. No one actually spent the resources to chase down gossip mongers.

Michelle shook her head. "Cuz, this doesn't smell like a PR play. This guy's a big deal, has connections everywhere. Even some major corporate accounts back home are retweeting him in solidarity."

Heather squinted in suspicion. "Let me see."

Michelle handed over her phone, and as Heather scrolled through the feed, a familiar sense of irritation began to bubble within her.

"Zach?" Heather frowned, the name ringing a vague bell.
