As the thought crossed his mind, Dylan asked Mirabella, "Hey, the shareholders' meeting is coming up in a few days. Would you be interested in attending?"

Mirabella felt a familiar tension creeping up. It was like trouble was just around the corner. She cut him off before he could finish, "Thanks, but I'm gonna pass."

Dylan was left a bit flustered, unsure of what to say next.

"Are you done here? If so, you should head back to keep the shipment on schedule," Mirabella said, signaling Wyatt to get the robot packed up again.

Dylan stood there, a bit stunned. Wait, he hadn't even given her his answer yet?!

A short while later, Mirabella and Dylan parted ways in the parking lot.

Once they were in the car, Wyatt, who was driving, finally asked, "Was that guy from DO Group?"

He had thought Dylan looked familiar, but he wasn't sure.

"Yeah," Mirabella nodded, not surprised that Wyatt recognized him. DO Group was a major player in the tech world, even providing security systems for various international governments.

Upon hearing her confirmation, Wyatt went quiet. He had suspected for years that Mirabella had connections when he noticed the Davis estate's surveillance was tied to DO Group. Now, hearing their chat about the shareholders' meeting...

Anyone involved in such a meeting had to carry significant clout. Dylan hadn't finished his sentence, but Wyatt got the gist.

Suddenly, it hit Wyatt: his family had made quite the leap!

Unaware of Wyatt's inner musings, Mirabella, feeling a bit bored, took out her phone to pass the time.

An hour later, they pulled up at the Davis Estate.

In the living room, Penelope was deep in conversation with Jim.

"Mira's back."

Jim, looking much better after his recovery, seemed full of life and motioned for his niece to sit next to him.

Mirabella nodded and joined them. Penelope's gaze followed her, filled with mixed emotions towards her cousin.

She didn't dislike Mirabella, but warming up to her wasn't easy either.

Maybe it was the way Mirabella seemed to effortlessly win everyone over? Penelope couldn't quite pin down her feelings and didn't really want to; she was confident enough in her own achievements notto need comparisons.

Gathering her thoughts, Penelope stood up, offering Mirabella a polite nod, sorry for my mother

actions before. We'll be moving out of the estate, and it won't happen again."

Mirabella was caught off guard by Penelope's sudden apology. After a brief pause, she replied, "You don't need to apologize to me; it's others who were affected."

Penelope watched Mirabella closely. Normally, such words might hint at

something deeper, but Mirabella was straightforward and genuine.

Seeing this, Penelope chuckled to herself, realizing why she couldn't bring herself to dislike Mirabella.

Proud people often steer clear of petty dramas.

"Thank you," Penelope said anyway.

Jim, relieved that the two weren't butting heads, waved Penelope off, "Everyone slips up now and then. Let's leave it at that."

Penelope lowered her eyes, hiding a moment of self-reflection.

She was well aware of her mother's actions. Her inaction was a bit of selfishness at play.

She wasn't interested in the inheritance, but she wasn't about to let it go without a little challenge. The source of th?s content is find·novel·net

If Mirabella couldn't even handle a minor threat, her future wouldn't be bright.

Yet, she realized her own small-mindedness.

Penelope didn't linger long and left Once she was gone, Jim turned his gaze to his niece, his look carrying hint of playful reproach, as if she had somehow wronged him.

Mirabella, a bit confused by her uncle's sudden change, asked, "Uncle Chester?"
