The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 713

Zach cleared his throat, “Come on, we’re obviously going the legal route. Did you forget your brother’s a lawyer?!”

“Oh...” Mirabella’s drawn-out response made it clear she was skeptical.

If it was just about legal matters, Heather and Michelle wouldn’t have begged her to let their family off the hook. Was Zach really thinking she hadn’t brushed up on her legal knowledge?

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Sis, what's with the 'oh'?"

Mirabella nodded, trying to come up with a compliment, “Zach, you’re doing great!”

Zach felt a bit underestimated and scratched his head, deciding to drop the topic. “By the way, I heard from Leo that you’re planning to head back to Catherine’s right after your exams?”

“Yeah, I already booked the flight,” Mirabella said.

Zach, considering the Gilbert family’s recent bankruptcy, hesitated before speaking, “Are you sure Catherine’s place will be welcoming?”

“Absolutely.” Mirabella knew her grandmother well enough but eyed Zach suspiciously, “Zach, is there something you’re not telling me?”

After a moment’s pause, Zach decided to be upfront, “I’m just worried it might be awkward going back, especially with the Gilbert family in shambles, and considering your former stepmom isn’t exactly the most refined person.”

Mirabella hadn’t expected the Gilbert family to go bankrupt, but then again, they had managed to offend City Hall and the town’s top brass. It would’ve been a shock if they hadn’t faced consequences.

She waved off his concerns, “No worries, it’s not a big deal.”

Even with the Gilbert family’s downfall, someone like Mandy wouldn’t sit idle at home. She certainly wouldn’t bother with Catherine.
