The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 796

Mirabella clutched her phone, feeling a sudden pang of breathlessness as she interrupted Adler, "Stop, please."

Having just blown through her birthday money, she felt unworthy of hearing about bonuses.

Adler cleared his throat awkwardly, thinking he might have overstepped, and promptly fell silent.

Despite being young, Adler’s skills made it difficult to see him as anything other than extraordinary, certainly not your typical eighteen-year-old girl.

So, bonuses and such were just trivial, external matters to him.

"How about we grab a bite when you get to Riverdale?" Adler smoothly changed the subject.

Outside the room, Delilah was urging her to hurry up. Mirabella glanced towards the door, a hint of melancholy in her voice as she agreed over the phone, quickly wrapping up the conversation with Adler.

Today was a celebration banquet, and Mirabella had changed into a new outfit for the occasion.

The banquet was held at the city's most renowned five-star hotel. As Mirabella arrived with her parents, she noticed a congratulatory banner and a red carpet laid out at the entrance, the hotel decked out in festive decor.

By ten, guests had already started to arrive. Delilah and Shawn were busy greeting them and introducing their daughter to friends.

Mirabella managed a few polite exchanges until she spotted James entering. She paused, then made her way over, "You made it."

"Yeah." James nodded, handing her a gift he’d brought along.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, "This is unexpected."

"Yeah, but it was in the humanities. Apparently, there was a mix-up, and she was raised in the countryside until just last year," the driver explained softly.

Hearing this, the woman's interest seemed to wane. She tapped her manicured finger against the window, instructing him to convey a message to her sister waiting inside.

"Of course," the driver acknowledged, unbuckling his seatbelt and heading towards the hotel at a steady pace.

Meanwhile, after exchanging a few words with Mirabella, James added, "I'm heading back to Riverdale. I've asked Wyatt to prepare those herbs you wanted. Keep an eye out for the delivery."

Mirabella’s eyebrows rose in interest, "Sure thing."
