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

Chapter 392

Summer tried to mask the worry nibbling at her edges with a laugh before she spoke, “So what if I’m the butt of a few jokes for now? It’ll all blow over soon, and your brothers won’t hold it against me.”

She paused, her gaze distant, then added, “Even if you’ve returned to the Davis family, don’t forget I also spent a good chunk of my life there. A small slip–up and I bet your folks and your brothers will forgive me all the same.”

Summer felt let down by her foster family the night before and a sting of resentment for their unanswered calls, but Delilah eventually showed up, didn’t she? Delilah remained silent, but Zach’s late–night text, asking her to meet, spoke volumes. It was an olive branch, and Summer knew it.

She watched Mirabella, who was idly kicking a pebble at her feet, and suddenly asked, “Where did you get that song from?”

Summer had been hoping to see a flicker of discontent on Mirabella’s face but was taken aback when the question came. Her sharp expression froze, and after a long moment, she scrutinized Mirabella with narrowed eyes. “You’re telling me you don’t know the origins of my song?”

“Should I?” Mirabella retorted with a half–smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
