The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 854

Mirabella's smile froze slightly. She'd expected Delilah to keep quiet about certain things, but Mirabella's current attitude was inexplicably off-putting. Her tone was way too cold and rigid, and her stare felt almost confrontational—definitely not polite.

Would a regular person act like this?

Suppressing her discomfort, Mirabella explained, "For some reasons, Miss, your mother left home many years ago. Even though she never came back, the bond of blood is unbreakable, and your Aunt is still very concerned about you and your mother."

After a brief pause, she added with a touch of emotion, "Your Aunt was worried you might not adjust well to Riverdale, especially with your military training. So, she told me to pick you up after your training and bring you back to the Cunningham family. She really wants to meet you..."

Mirabella's lips twitched. Did they think she was naive?

If there wasn't something fishy, why would someone suddenly show up claiming kinship? And if they were so eager to see her, why send someone who practically had "I look down on you" written all over their face?

Mirabella scoffed and interrupted, not wanting to hear any more nonsense, "You don't need to beat around the bush. Just tell me what's going on."

Her blunt response caught him off guard. He'd met all sorts of people, but he quickly realized she wasn't like the others. She reminded him a bit of the young Delilah—no wonder she was instantly unlikable.

Taking a deep breath, he replied with slight resentment, "I'm not sure. You'll know once you meet your Aunt."

"Oh, then I'm not interested in knowing or meeting someone I don't even recognize. That's that." Mirabella finished and walked away, pulling her suitcase.

He paused for a moment, watching Mirabella's retreating figure. He considered following her but then scoffed at the thought. Was he even worthy?
