The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 865

Nick was momentarily stunned, taking a beat to respond, "Wait, didn't you say I could use the car for a couple of days?"

"You must have misheard, Mr. Nick. That's simply not possible," Grady said flatly, his expression unchanging.

Nick stood there speechless. Really? Is he just going to deny it like that? Since when did Grady become so cold?

Grady cleared his throat loudly and tapped the table again, signaling Nick to hand over the car keys.

Seeing this, Nick felt a mix of emotions. He looked up and said, "Grady, you can't just go back on your word because Mirabella isn't here."

After all, Grady had watched him grow up.

"Oh, is that so?" Grady's voice was light, but then he added with a touch of disdain, "Mr. Nick, you're an adult. How can you shamelessly compare yourself to your younger sister?"

Nick felt a pang in his chest. So, love can disappear, huh?

In the end, Nick handed over the car keys, still cool from his pocket. He did it to avoid further heartache.

The favoritism his parents showed Zach and Leo back home resonated with him deeply now.

When Mirabella returned to the room, the atmosphere was harmonious, showing no signs of the earlier tension. She raised an eyebrow, pulled out a chair, and sat down again.

After dinner, Grady wanted to chat with Mirabella for a bit, but after several calls from his subordinates, he had to leave early.

The siblings walked out of the restaurant to find Atlas waiting at the door, his expression somber, though barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

Mirabella paused and then said, "Uncle Atlas, you go ahead. I'll ride back with Nick."

Atlas looked at Mirabella, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Alright, I'll be off then."

Mirabella hummed softly in acknowledgment.
