The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1655

Mirabella caught the confidence in Chester's voice, as though he had a sixth sense about her preferences. She couldn't help but touch her nose a bit sheepishly before she slowly peeled open the box's second layer.

Inside lay a sleek, golden card.

It was just like the black card Shawn had handed her when she first rejoined the Davis family a couple of years back.

Seeing the card, along with Chester's demeanor, gave Mirabella the uncanny feeling that her meticulously crafted persona was starting to crack.

Just then, Chester's voice broke through her thoughts, "Good thing I checked with Zach about what you like beforehand; otherwise, I'd be in quite a pickle today."

Jim's eyes betrayed a trace of relief, thankful for his foresight. It would have been quite the blunder if he, as the elder, had flubbed the gift on a first meeting.

Mirabella's lips twitched, half-amused, as if she could visualize a comedic scene playing out in front of her. "Oh... Chester, what else did Zach mention?"

Her voice, soft and sweet, had an undertone sharp enough to make Zach shiver if he were present.

"Your Zach is always a bit nervous around me, so he just mentioned a few of your hobbies," Jim said, blissfully unaware he'd just sold his nephew down the river.

Mirabella's grin widened.

Her Zach was quite the character. Scared of Chester, yet still feeding him wrong info—definitely in need of a wake-up call.
