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

Chapter 1339

Adler always had a laid-back way of talking, never too serious. Mirabella shot him a glance, "They didn't rough you up, did they?"

Adler shook his head, "Nope."

He didn't mention that he'd only been dragged into this room about ten minutes ago, and the person who brought him here had taken the chance to mock him pretty nastily.

Mirabella nodded, trusting Adler's words. After all, James had people watching over him, and given how much respect everyone here had for him, they wouldn't dare to cross him.

Adler pointed towards the door, insisting, "Seriously, you should head back. Don't come to places like this again."

Despite Adler's urgency, Mirabella stayed put, lounging in her seat, her voice steady and relaxed, "No hurry, we can leave together later."

Seeing this, Adler got up from his chair and paced to the door. He peered through the glass panel but saw nothing, then turned back, "Honestly, they say once you're in this room, getting out is tough."

He knew the Shepherd family's clout in Riverdale but also understood how tangled things could get. Plus, with the current political mess, it was easy to get caught in the crossfire.

Struggles meant sacrifices, which was why Adler was pushing Mirabella to leave.
