Chapter 1852
chapter1852
Reid and Dan were left completely baffled by Mirabella's unexpected
announcement.
"Get the Davis family's partnership contract?"
Were they hearing this right? As Mirabella ended the call, her icy demeanor melted away, transforming her into a different person. "The contract will be ready to sign shortly."
Dan and Reid exchanged looks, their eyes narrowing in disbelief, half-expecting they had misheard. But when they met Mirabella's steady gaze, it was obvious she wasn't joking.
They both remembered the person who had brought them to Ravenshade. Who else would dare to show up in a fighter jet unless they had some serious clout?
Otherwise, they would have been intercepted long ago by Ravenshade's authorities.
Before long, a group of people hurried into the estate.
As they flooded into the room, Reid instinctively glanced at his watch. It had been exactly ten minutes since Miss Mira ended the call.
Leading the group was a young man who moved with purpose, his sharp eyes scanning Reid and Dan before settling on Mirabella, lounging on a chaise. He hesitated, unsure, "You..."
Mirabella twirled her phone, her eyelids lifting slightly as she shot him a sideways glance, her tone casual, “Enjoying spending my money?"
The man immediately broke into a cough. "Ahem, ahem..."
Mirabella, with a faint smile, stood and walked up to him. "Shall we take this outside?"
The man looked at her, his commanding presence deflating instantly. He nodded, almost like a loyal sidekick, and followed her out.
The entourage he brought with him was so stunned their jaws nearly dropped.
Was this really Emmitt? He seemed like a completely different person! Mirabella had barely taken two steps before she paused, turning back to Dan. "Oh, the contract?"
The man snapped back to attention, quickly saying, "Feel free to make any requests. As long as we can sign it!"
The others in the room were left speechless. Mirabella nodded, didn't say another word, and walked out.
Once they left, an eerie silence filled the room.
It was finally broken by the
Ravenshade mayor, who cleared his throat and approached Dan's bed With a polite yet familiar air, he handed over the contract. "You must be Mr. Dan We've already signed on Our end. Please take a look, and if there are any issues, let us know. We can fix it right away to ensure your satisfaction..."
Dan, feeling a bit overwhelmed, took the contract from the mayor.
Honestly, apart from the Ravenshade mayor, whom he had seen from a distance before, he didn't recognize anyone else in the group.
Moreover, the mayor had previously seemed aloof and distant, a stark contrast to the warm and smiling figure standing before him now.
Dan glanced down at the contract in his hands. If it weren't for the real pain from his abdominal wound he might have pinched himself to make surè he wasn't dreaming.
This was too surreal!
**In the garden outside.**
Mirabella leaned against a Roman column, arms crossed, lazily eyeing the man across from her. "Surprised?"
Miles ran a hand through his golden
After a
hair, his chiseled features deep and striking, though now they had a complex, conflicted look. After moment, he spoke, confused, "Weren't you supposed to be some old bald guy?"
Mirabella blinked. "What...?" This text is hosted at F?ndNovel.net
