The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1743

Cassie covered her face for a moment, then peeked over to check out Mirabella's phone screen, only to be met with nothing interesting.

"Did you really send that photo to Nellie?" she asked.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Mirabella shot back, her phone in hand as she sauntered over to a chair by the big window and plopped down.

Seeing the picture Mirabella sent, Nellie's hands trembled as she clutched her phone. She never thought she'd see Jim again in such a way.

Nellie leaned her head back, fighting to keep the tears at bay.
