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

Chapter 456

Heather didn’t bother with Leo and Mirabella anymore, quickly teaming up with her cousin to tackle the tasks assigned by the show’s producers.

Ten minutes later, Mirabella pocketed her phone. Still basking in the joy of his little sister carrying him to victory in the game, Leo looked up at her and said, “When we get back, you gotta coach me some more. I wanna hit that Champion rank.”

At her words, Leo immediately straightened up and took the lead. “I got this!” After coasting through two episodes, he was determined to nail this simple task of grocery shopping!

Watching him stride ahead, Mirabella thought, “Well, if the little princess is happy, that’s all that matters.”
