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

Chapter 111
Mirabella barely registered the look on Catherine's face as her phone buzzed in
her pocket. Pulling it out, she saw it was Zach calling. Instead of answering
immediately, she turned her attention back to Catherine. “Oh, by the way,
Grandma, my brother Zach said he'd drop by to see you. He's downstairs right
now.”
At the mention of Zach, Catherine's worried expression was instantly replaced
with surprise. Regaining her composure, she quickly said, “Your dear brother,
Zach? Well, then, you better hurry down and bring him up.”
“Sure thing,” Mirabella nodded, chuckling as she noticed Catherine nervously
trying to tidy her short hair. “No need to be nervous, Grandma. He's family.”
Catherine, a bit embarrassed, stopped fussing with her hair. “I just want to make
a good first impression, that’s all.”
Mirabella smiled and gently pushed a stray lock from Catherine's forehead. “You
look wonderful just the way you are.”
Soon after, Mirabella went down to fetch Zach. “Grandma, this is my brother
Zach,” Mirabella said as she helped Zach set down some health supplements he
had brought onto the cabinet, gently introducing him to Catherine.

Zach's gaze fell on Catherine. Her face had a sickly pallor, probably from her
illness, but her spirit seemed strong, and she had a kind and gentle look about
her. No wonder Mirabella was so fond of her. Zach composed himself and

sudden visit. I hope I'm not interrupting your rest.”
Catherine shook her head with a smile. “Not at all. 'm delighted you could come,
Zach. Please, take a seat and make yourself comfortable.”
“Thank you,” Zach replied, taking a seat without further ceremony. Glancing at
Mirabella, he added, “I must thank you, ma'am, for all the years of care and
guidance you've given Mirabella. She's turned out to be quite exceptional.”
Catherine's cheeks colored with modesty. “Oh, she’s always been a remarkable
girl, Zach. I can’t take much credit. If anything, she’s had to endure quite a lot
with me.”
Mirabella pulled up a chair beside Catherine’s bed, her eyebrows raised with a
proud tilt. “I'll admit I'm exceptional, but let's not talk about hardships, shall we?
After all, have you ever seen someone who's had a tough time turn out as
splendid and smart as me?”
“You and your lack of modesty,” Catherine chuckled.
“Modesty depends on the company,” Mirabella winked at Catherine.
Catherine shook her head with a smile and instinctively grabbed Mirabella’s
hand, holding it warmly.

Catherine, he

was a stark difference that stirred deep thoughts within him.

The Davises had never mistreated her, and although Summer later explained
that her biological parents had pressured her, her actions still left a chill.
A wry smile tugged at Zach's lips. Comparisons could be harsh, illuminating
hidden problems one might wish to ignore.
