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

Chapter 96
In the bustling heart of the city, Shawn arrived at a renowned seafood bistro with
his wife and daughter in tow. As they stepped out of the car, Mirabella took in the
opulent decor of the establishment, her gaze lingering on the details that
screamed expensive taste.
Shawn went off to park the car, and Delilah, after taking a few steps, noticed her
daughter hadn't followed. She turned, a puzzled look on her face. “Mira, what's
holding you back?”
Mirabella blinked, her tone earnest. “I was just wondering how much a meal here
costs. We're not exactly rolling in dough.”
Delilah couldn't help but laugh at her daughter's remark. “Don’t you worry about
it. Even if we dined here every single night, I could still afford it,” she reassured.
After all, they owned the place.
Still, their daughter had always been under the impression they were strapped for
cash, which both Delilah and her husband found rather amusing, so they hadn't
bothered to set the record straight.
Half-joking, Mirabella replied, “I've got this sneaky suspicion you're keeping
things from me.” Like, how come they were supposedly poor, but it looked like
they were anything but?
Clearing her throat, Delilah deflected, “Nonsense, darling.”
Mirabella gave a drawn-out “Hmm,” clearly not convinced.
The bistro manager, who had been tipped off by the bosses, was waiting at the
entrance. He hurried over to greet Delilah with the utmost respect, “Madam,
welcome.”
At the sound of “madam,” Mirabella’s eyebrows shot up. Her glance at her
mother was heavy with implication as if to say. “Is this what you meant by
“nonsense?
Delilah touched her forehead, realizing the charade was up too soon. She
cleared her throat and steadied herself, then nodded at the manager before
turning to her daughter, “See, isn’t the service here exceptional?”
The manager stood awkwardly to the side. Was the boss’ wife commending him?
Mirabella’s lips twitched as she observed the ever-bowing manager and the
grandeur behind him, sensing her experiences of a modest life slipping away.
After a moment, she nodded. “Quite good.”
“Carry on with your work. We'll head up to our booth,” Delilah instructed the
manager, sending him a discreet signal to leave them be.
Although the manager didn't quite grasp the underlying dynamics, he was adept
at reading the room. He quickly excused himself and made sure the staff knew
not to disturb the family’s meal.
Satisfied with the manager's response, Delilah led her daughter upstairs to their
private booth.
