The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 184

As the tarp slowly peeled back, the bold Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament of a Rolls–Royce caught Mirabella’s gaze, causing her hands to freeze mid–air and her expression to shift subtly.

Mirabella looked up, her face a mask of utter bewilderment. “Dad,” she quipped, “did your quarterly bonus come with a pot of gold or something?”

Shawn’s face was the picture of nonchalance as he replied, “It’s decent.” Noticing his daughter’s stunned look, he cleared his throat and added, “Actually, this car isn’t that expensive, just… around a million or so.”

He remembered the last time the company accountants had visited their home; Mirabella nearly mistook the poor man for a debt collector. If he told her the car was worth ten million, it might just give her a heart attack. It was best to let it slide.

After all, his daughter was a bit of a bookworm. Her world revolved around studies and little else – cars were certainly not her forte.

Mirabella sighed as she firmly pulled the rest of the tarp off the car. Instantly, the sleek and sophisticated yet utterly cool lines of a Rolls–Royce Phantom stood before her, its noble presence undeniable.
