The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 722

Seeing the sudden paleness on her face, the neighbor couldn't help but show concern, “Hey kiddo, you alright?”

Summer managed to maintain her composure, shaking her head, “I’m fine, thank you, Marian, for showing me the way.”

“No problem.” The neighbor waved a hand dismissively and quickly walked away.

Summer stood frozen, unsure whether to leave or stay.

She had no idea why Nick was here, nor if he had overheard that remark about being distant relatives…

Feeling increasingly agitated, Summer dared not look at him again, knowing it would only make her more fearful.

Nick, carrying a bottle of soy sauce, took a few steps forward, coming closer to Summer. His gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking at a stranger, “People change, but their true nature doesn’t. Haven’t seen you in years, and you’re still as insincere as ever.”

Summer’s face turned even paler, realizing he had indeed heard that remark. She took a deep breath and asked, “Nick, when did you get back from abroad?”

“Who gave you permission to address me so casually?” Nick’s eyes narrowed, his voice suddenly turning icy.

Summer involuntarily shivered, stepping back, “I…”

She wanted to say more, but his piercing gaze left her speechless.

She still remembered the look in his eyes after that kidnapping incident years ago – full of hatred, a look that haunted her to this day.

Now, years later, the hatred seemed to have faded, but there was something else, something even more terrifying.
