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

Mirabella lounged on the sofa, smartphone in hand, tapping out a message.

Hearing Cassie's words, she just looked up at him, "No, I've been out of the game for years now."

Cassie fell silent for half a minute before finally saying, "Stepping away from it all was indeed the right choice."

Having a top-notch skill isn't always a good thing; the adage about the dangers of possessing a gem comes to mind.

Mirabella paused her typing, caught the meaning in his words, and just smiled, replying, "There will come an end to it someday."

Cassie was momentarily taken aback, and when he looked back at Mirabella, she had already lowered her head again.

After sending her final message, Mirabella put down her phone, "By the way, where's your luggage?"

"At the hotel," Cassie answered honestly.

Mirabella nodded, "Which hotel? I'll have someone pick it up for you. You'll stay here for the next few days."

"Staying here... would that be inconvenient?" Cassie hesitated to ask.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, "You're my brother; what inconvenience could there be?"

Seeing this, a smile spread across Cassie's face instantly. On his way over, he had wondered if his sister, having a new family now, would still acknowledge him as her brother.

It turned out he was worrying over nothing.

She was still his sister.

Just then, Mirabella's voice carried over again, "After all, you've already paid your rent; can't have you sleeping on the streets."

Cassie: "..."

His heartfelt emotions were misplaced.

A glint of amusement passed through Mirabella's eyes. After asking for Cassie's

hotel address, she made a call to Atlas to retrieve the luggage.

Once that was settled, she stood up to show him to his room upstairs.

Having known about Cassie's departure from the clan, she had already asked Marian to prepare a guest room next to hers temporarily.

"What are your plans moving forward?" Mirabella opened the curtains of the room and turned back to look at the young man surveying his surroundings.

"No plans for now. The clan leader

gave me an indefinite leave, quite generously this time, without a set time to return," Cassie said as he lay to down comfortably on the chaise

lounge.

"Indefinite leave?" Mirabella's brow furrowed slightly. She knew all too well the clan leader's aversion to the outside world; for years, she never allowed Cassie to leave.

This sudden permission for him to leave, with no rush to return, seemed odd.

Leaning against the window sill, arms crossed, she asked, "Were there any changes in the clan before you left?"

Cassie looked up, Mirabella's

reflection in his bright eyes. He sat up and shook his head, "No, I remember you asked me before, and I specifically observed the clan leader and the elders, didn't notice anything unusual."

"Is that so." Knowing he was not good at lying, perhaps she was overthinking.

"Sis, are you worried about something?" Cassie tilted his head to look at her.

Mirabella snapped back to reality, meeting the young man's clear eyes.

She just smiled and changed the

subject, "Since the clan leader isn't keeping you on a tight leash

anymore, would you like to go to school?" noveldrama

The mention of schooling reminded Cassie of the years dominated by a room full

of Sanskrit scriptures, instantly darkening his expression as he said, "Not really."

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, "I think you do."

Cassie: "..."

"Get some rest. I'll arrange a new identity for you," Mirabella left him with those words and walked out of the room.

Cassie: "..."

He wondered if he had just escaped the tiger's den only to fall into a wolf's den!
