Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 277

The security guards at the front gate called up to the apartment. Mira was going to deny them entry, but Rachel stopped her. "If you don't let them up, they're just going to keep blowing up your phone.

"Might as well have security let them through. Let them see for themselves that you're thriving without the Mercer family.

"It'll give you a chance to shut them down to their faces, so they stop bothering you."

Whatever. Let them come up.

Adrian, Lacey, Ethan, and Julian Mercer arrived together.

When they walked in, Mira didn't bother greeting them as family. Rachel directed them to the sofa and poured everyone a glass of water.

They used to be her employers, after all. She didn't want to make things entirely uncivilized.

"Did you buy this place?" Julian asked, taking in the surroundings.

It was a spacious, four-bedroom apartment with excellent natural light, well over a thousand square feet, located in a prime school district.

"Yes."

"I had no idea you were this capable."

This was nothing. She owned a commercial plaza worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

But Mira couldn't be bothered to explain that to him.

She sat across from them, her expression perfectly neutral, yet she exuded an aura of authority that easily rivaled Adrian's.

Julian almost thought he was hallucinating.

Power changes a person's demeanor. Mira had been sitting in the CEO's chair of a massive conglomerate for quite some time now, and her commanding presence was entirely natural.

The Mercer family also recognized the Iron Wolves sitting nearby. Mira's bodyguards clearly weren't the type of muscle you could just hire off the street.

Though they weren't standing directly behind Mira, they were seated close enough to intervene.

Julian knew that if anyone made a sudden move, those two would be on them in a heartbeat.

In just a few short months, Mira had completely transformed.

Mira looked at them coolly. "What do you want? Say it."

Lacey frowned, staring at this daughter who felt both familiar and completely alien. She couldn't find her voice.
