The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 122

After a while, she lifted her gaze to James again and said nonchalantly. “You
know, the

soothing incense I got for Granny online the other day really did the trick. You go
to my school in a few days, and I'll give it to you after school.”

Hearing this, James thought back to the eBay shop she had mentioned before,
where she found those soothing incense, and chuckled while shaking his head,
“No worries, I just need a few good nights rest.”

Mirabella touched the tip of her nose. “Alright then...” She paused but added,
“Just hit me you change your mind.”

“Sure thing.” James replied lightly, not really taking it to heart.

Twenty minutes later, Mirabella thanked James and quickly walked into the
apartment complex.

By now, the night had fully settled in. As she ascended the stairs to her
apartment, she used her keys to enter, only to find Emmitt, who hadn't been
around for a while, sitting on the sofal with his arms crossed. His face was ashen.
The air was tinged with tension.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Mirabella casually tossed her shoulder bag onto a
cabinet.

Emmitt's gaze snapped to her as he rose to his feet. His eyes were dark and
piercing. “Can't you keep out of trouble for just one day?”

“Emmitt, you better cool it and watch your tone,” Shawn said and frowned. His
voice was heavy.

Faced with Emmitt's sudden accusation, Mirabella remained composed, though
her eyes. lacked warmth. “That's a strange thing to say. What outrage have I
committed to get you so worked up?”

Emmitt, seeing her cool demeanor, felt his anger rise even further. “What have
you done? Where did you take Summer's granny?”

At that, Mirabella put two and two together, thinking of the countless calls she
had received from Mandy, and she had a pretty good idea why he was so furious.
Catherine hadn't returned to the Gilbert family, and since she had also visited the
apartment where Catherine lived, the Gilberts naturally assumed she had hidden
Catherine away after learning the old lady wasn't in the hospital.

After all, she was the most likely suspect.

When Mirabella didn’t respond, Emmitt took a deep breath, trying to keep his
emotions in check. “I get that you're close to Summer's granny, but you can't just

Mirabella’s lips curved in an amused smirk. “I'm curious, who told you I took
Catherine? Was it Summer?”

Emmitt's brows knitted. “She just made a call...

him off, “So she makes one call, and
you're convinced Catherine was

Emmitt was briefly taken aback by

her question but quickly recovered,

“Fine, you say you didn't take her, so

why didn't you answer calls from the
Gilberts? And why was your phone

off? Isn't that obviously making them

Mirabella found this even more

amusing. With deliberate calm, she
fished out her phone from her pocket,
pressed the power button a few

times in front of him, and the screen
briefly lit up with a low battery

warning sign before shutting down

again. “See? Dead battery.” Her voice
was light as she extended the phone
toward Emmitt with a hint of

sarcasm. “If you don't believe me, feel
free to check it yourself, maybe?” The
