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

Chapter 44
Although Mandy knew Summer was trying to provide her an out, the thought of
dropping more cash on a present for that unsophisticated woman from the Davis
family just didn't sit right with her. So, with a snort of derision, Mandy's gaze
landed squarely on Mirabella. “Conning an old woman out of her money under
the guise of kindness—is that your game?” she sneered.
Mirabella lifted her eyes, her delicate features marked with an air of Indifference.
She looked at Mandy, her expression neither angry nor upsel.
Mandy's brow furrowed at the sight, and she pressed on. “If you're after money,
you could've just come to me. Why keep bothering an old woman? Do you find
that amusing?”
Catherine glanced at Mirabella, worried she might take offense, and quickly
Interjected, “Mandy, how can you say such things?”
Mandy's face darkened. “Mom, please, this is between us.” She then strode over
to Mirabella, looking down on her with a mix of contempt and superiority. “Alright
then, how much do you want? A hundred grand? Two hundred? Three hundred
thousand should keep your family comfortable for years, right?”
Mirabella arched an eyebrow, her lips curving into a sly smile. Though she
lounged lazily in her chair, Mandy’s aggressive stance didn’t faze her. Tucking a
stray lock of hair behind her ear, Mirabella slowly stood up. “Only three hundred
thousand? After all that talk, I thought you would offer me thirty million. It seems
you're not that concerned about an old woman being swindled after all.” Her
voice was light, dripping with disappointment.
Mandy could only laugh in disbelief. “Ha, thirty million? You've got quite the
imagination.”
Mirabella stared at her as if she were a simpleton. “So you don’t have even thirty
million to your name. I'd be embarrassed to have said all that earlier if I were you.
How awkward.”
Mandy nearly choked on her own outrage. Was this bumpkin suddenly
possessed by some sort of defiant spirit? Mirabella couldn't be bothered to
engage with Mandy any further, turning her attention to Catherine with a note of
regret in her soft voice, “It seems I won't be able to spend time with you this
weekend after all.”
Catherine understood that Mirabella was about to leave. She wanted to ask her
to stay, but after witnessing Mandy's behavior, how could she have the courage
to ask Mirabella to stay?
Catherine sighed, mustering a weak smile. “Don’t take what Mandy said to
heart.”
Mirabella nodded, murmured a nonchalant “hmm,“ and headed for the door.
When Mirabella left, Mandy fumed, “Mom, don't let her in again. Did you see how
arrogant she was? She doesn’t respect her elders at all!”

Exhausted by her daughter's rant,
Catherine rose silently and retreated
to the kitchen. She turned off the
simmering of ribs and stared blankly
at the prepared vegetables. After a
moment, she wiped her eyes and
exited the kitchen. Without a word to
Mandy or Summer, she went to her
room and slammed the door shut.
