Chapter 1833

chapter1833

Nellie's eyes landed on the white jade ring at the tips of Mirabella's fingers. After a brief pause, she quickly remarked, "Yep, that's the one, but yours is a fake."

She could tell it was a fake right away-

Mirabella seemed lost in thought, slowly tucking the necklace back under her collar without mentioning where the real jade was. "So, was the original jade also given to the Gilbert family by you?"

"Yes, your mentor delivered it personally," Nellie nodded, deciding to lay the truth bare. "Though there were some unexpected events back then, thankfully your mentor found you in the end."

This involved a mix-up with children at the time. Nellie wasn't too clear on the intricate details, so she chose not to mention it to Mirabella.

She also avoided talking too much about her mentor, worried it might upset Mirabella.

Mirabella's lashes lowered, her face showing no hint of emotion as she softly said, "I'd rather he hadn't found me back then."

Nellie opened her mouth but then just placed a hand on Mirabella's shoulder, her voice a bit raspy, "This is the Stevenson family's fate. If he managed to save you, I'm sure he was very happy."

Mirabella's fingers clenched slightly, her eyes stinging with unshed tears, "I refuse to believe in fate."

*Cough, cough...* Nellie suddenly started coughing, a bit of red showing at the corner of her lips. She quickly wiped it away, making sure Mirabella didn't see.

After regaining her composure, she changed the topic, "By the way, was the guy who drove us last night your boyfriend?"

"Yeah," Mirabella nodded, her expression softening noticeably.

Nellie had chatted with James briefly when they left the first base last night, "He seems like a good guy." ? ?s? ?s Find★Novel.net

"He is," Mirabella smiled.

Nellie shook her head, not calling out Mirabella's tendency to judge by appearances, and finally pressed the elevator button beside them. "The competition for the Davis family inheritance is intense; stay safe."

Though she offered these words of caution, she wasn't overly worried. Mirabella nodded, "Alright, Nellie-no, Mother Chester, you take care too." Nellie: "..." Just then, the elevator dinged, signaling its arrival at their floor.

The doors opened, and Mirabella, stepped inside, turning to press the button for the ground floor. She

looked up, waving at Nellie, "You

should head back Chester's

probably getting anxious."

Nellie: "...?"

Feeling a bit like she'd lost face? As the elevator doors slowly closed, Mirabella's faint smile also faded.

She had a pretty good idea why Nellie had shown up this time.

Mirabella tilted her head back slightly, watching the descending elevator numbers,

her mind swirling with countless thoughts.

Life was good now, and she didn't want it disturbed.

The elevator reached the ground floor.

As Mirabella walked out, she took out her phone, logged into her

account on The Mirror, found net

management account, and sent twe messages.

Meanwhile, after a steward from Ravenshade came to find her, Penelope drove back to Davis Estate.

When she returned to the mansion,

her mom Melissa was about to head

out for an appointment. But seeing

Penelope's troubled face, she

paused.

"What's up, sweetheart? Something happen?"

Melissa asked as she had a servant pour Penelope a glass of water.

Penelope glanced at her, "It's nothing."

Knowing today was the day for guild task assignments, Melissa carefully asked, "Was the task you got a tough one?"
