The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Kitty's lips curled with a hint of disdain. "Bro, did you forget? Didn't our sister run off with some lowlifes back in the day?"

Only those uncouth hooligans would resort to something as brutal as knocking someone out cold.

Austin didn't remember much from decades ago, but the scandal of their sister running off with riff-raff still lingered, nearly tarnishing the Cunningham family's reputation in their social circles. No well-bred heiress had ever been so recklessly impulsive before.

"But now, sister just got back to Riverdale, and she's already knocked out the people you sent. Is she trying to show off or what?" Kitty added, suddenly recalling something.

Hearing this, Austin thought about the time he went to Ashford to find someone, and how his sister had dodged him. His gaze turned icy. "She better keep a low profile."

Kitty lowered her lashes, hiding her glittering eyes, and murmured in agreement. "It's obvious she still doesn't want to see us. So about her daughter coming here for treatment..."

"As long as they're in Riverdale, there's no reason not to meet," Austin replied coolly.

Kitty nodded. "Okay, how about this? I'll book a restaurant, and Emmitt, you invite her for dinner. If I call her, she'll probably ignore me."

Austin thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright."

"Oh, and Emmitt, pick up her daughter too. We're all family, after all," Kitty added.

Austin's focus was on Mirabella. If a dinner could clear up any misunderstandings, that would be perfect. After thinking it over, he said, "I'll go to the school myself to pick her up."

Kitty gave him a sideways glance, noticing something strange in his eyes, which made her feel uneasy. She knew Austin too well; he'd only be nice if he saw some use in someone. Clearly, he saw Delilah's daughter as a genius doctor with connections to the Pharmacists' Association, and he wanted to take this opportunity to win her over.

"By the way, give Yara a call and ask her to join us for dinner. The kids are both at Prestige College; they should have stuff in common," Austin suggested.

Hearing this, Kitty was even more displeased but didn't show it, responding with a cool, "That might not work. Yara's been busy with a marine engineering project with her teacher. She's so busy she hasn't even come home and has been staying in the dorm."noveldrama

Thinking he could use her daughter to charm Delilah's daughter? Not likely.

Austin, a bit disappointed but not pushing it, said, "No worries, there'll be other times."

Kitty didn't reply, just took out her phone and stepped aside to make a call, arranging for a hotel reservation.

At school, Mirabella had just one class that afternoon. Afterward, she went straight to the lab building. As soon as she stepped into the lab, she saw Zane, Linden, and a few others looking overjoyed.

Mirabella hung her bag on a chair and glanced at them with suspicion as she powered up her computer.

"Hey, Mirabella, got some good news. Wanna hear?" Zane grinned widely, holding a document.

Mirabella blinked and asked, "Are they going to give us a bonus early?"

Zane, who was excited to share that their research project had caught the higher- ups' attention, was momentarily speechless.

This troublemaker sure knew how to kill the vibe.
