Chapter 184
As the tarp slowly peeled back, the bold Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament of a
Rolls-Royce caught Mirabella’s gaze, causing her hands to freeze mid-air and
her expression to shift subtly.
It's a Rolls-Royce.
Mirabella looked up, her face a mask of utter bewilderment. “Dad,” she quipped,
“did your quarterly bonus come with a pot of gold or something?”
Shawn's face was the picture of nonchalance as he replied, “It's decent.” Noticing
his daughter's stunned look, he cleared his throat and added, “Actually, this car
isn't that expensive, just... around a million or so.”
He remembered the last time the company accountants had visited their home;
Mirabella nearly mistook the poor man for a debt collector. If he told her the car
was worth ten million, it might just give her a heart attack. It was best to let it
slide.
After all, his daughter was a bit of a bookworm. Her world revolved around
studies and little else — cars were certainly not her forte.
Mirabella sighed as she firmly pulled the rest of the tarp off the car. Instantly, the
sleek and sophisticated yet utterly cool lines of a Rolls-Royce Phantom stood
before her, its noble presence undeniable.
Heh, a million-dollar Rolls-Royce Phantom. Who was her dad trying to kid?
“Are you sure this car “only“ cost a million?” she enunciated deliberately, biting
down particularly hard on the word “only.*
With the claim already out there, Shawn couldn't very well retract his statement.
He coughed. slightly, maintaining his composure with an effort he'd never
mustered before. “Yes, my dear, don’t be fooled by its flashy looks; it's really not
that pricey!”
Mirabella was at a loss. Oh, she couldn't believe this.
Shawn, avoiding his daughter's piercing gaze, glanced at his watch and hurriedly
said, “We're running out of time. Get in, and I'll drive you to school.”
With that, he quickly fetched the keys, unlocked the car, and settled himself in the
driver's seat, his guilt almost palpable.
With a light, almost mocking chuckle, Mirabella decided not to press further and
got into the
car.
Twenty minutes later, Shawn dropped his daughter off at school. Since the
vehicle was. anything but subtle, Mirabella opted to hop out a good distance from
the main entrance.
The Gilbert family’s car arrived around the same time, and their driver, catching
sight of the Rolls-Royce executing a U-turn ahead, couldn't help but comment,

Summer, engrossed in her smartphone, only looked up after the driver's words,
but by then the Rolls-Royce had already driven off, leaving her with nothing to
see. However, Mirabella, strolling casually toward the school, was very much
within view.
Soon, the Gilberts* car overtook Mirabella.
