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

Michelle's mouth hung open, and it took her forever to finally speak up, "I went to see Summer. She's the one who told me there was something shady between Mirabella and Owen."

Heather burst out laughing, "Michelle, are you serious? Are you as dumb as a rock? Just because she said something was 'shady,' you jumped to conclusions? Ever heard of the word 'misleading'?"

"And come on, even if Summer and Juztin aren't real siblings, they've lived together for over a decade. If she's willing to sell out her brother by leaking his music, do you really think she's trustworthy?"

Heather rubbed her temples in frustration, realizing that expecting sense from Michelle was a lost cause.

Michelle fidgeted uncomfortably, her voice barely a whisper, "At first, I didn't buy what Summer was saying either, but then those photos popped up online, and I started to believe."

Who would have thought a few misleading photos could lead her into such a mess?

Not to mention the legal nightmare Zach could unleash on her. Being publicly called out by a big shot on social media was like a career death sentence.

The grim reality hit Michelle like a ton of bricks - she might never be on TV again. Drowning in regret, she felt utterly drained.

By the time they got back to the Davis house, it was well past nine at night.

As soon as she stepped through the door, Mirabella reached out to Leo, who was walking beside her.

Clearing his throat, Leo dutifully fished out Mirabella's phone from his pocket and handed it to her.noveldrama

With the tide of public opinion turning online, there was no harm in her catching up on the drama.

"Hey, you two are back," Zach said, having been waiting in the living room.

Mirabella greeted him with a "Hey, Zach," then turned to say hi to her parents, who were sitting in the living room.

Shawn and Delilah were still in the dark about the online chaos, and after a brief chat with their daughter, they headed to their room for the night.

The living room was then left to the three siblings.

Mirabella snuggled into the couch and unlocked her phone, but instead of diving into Twitter, she opened Messenger.

A bunch of messages awaited her, probably from friends who'd seen the Twitter storm, all expressing concern.

Among them were messages from her homeroom teacher and Mr. Hammond. Mirabella replied to each one, her fingers flying over the screen.

Zach watched his sister for a moment before bringing up the Twitter situation, "Mirabella, don't worry about the person who leaked your info. I won't let her off easy."

He had a laundry list of legal repercussions lined up, the kind that would ruin

someone.

Did they think his sister was an easy target without solid backup?

Mirabella, sensing Zach's fierce protectiveness, raised an eyebrow and simply asked, "Who was it?"

"That girl from the live broadcast with you, what's-her-name... Michelle. She's the one who spilled your info online using an alias," Zach replied.

Mirabella was a bit surprised, but recalling how the woman had eyed her all day, it wasn't totally unexpected.

"Well, she's toast now," Leo commented, his face indifferent.

Truth be told, he hadn't expected Michelle to be the backstabber. There was little interaction between them, aside from the occasional put-down when she sought attention. The depth of her malice was unforeseen.

Leo crossed his arms, a hint of confusion in his tone, "What I can't figure out is how this woman got hold of your personal details."
