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

Chapter 1485

Standing by the door of the adjacent room, Zach leaned his head out just in time to catch a glimpse of Emmitt's joy-filled profile. He couldn't help but say, "Emmitt, I told you ages ago, Mirabella might hold a grudge, but she's not heartless."

If only he had taken the step forward sooner, all this awkwardness could have been avoided by now.

Hearing his brother's voice from behind, Emmitt straightened up, his face returning to its usual composed expression. He turned around, saying as if nothing had happened, "It's getting late. Goodnight."

Zach's gaze lingered on the slight smile playing at the corners of Emmitt's lips, his eyebrows raised in a half-mocking, half-amused gesture.

As if not noticing Zach's expression, Emmitt calmly returned to his room. Once the door was shut, the smile on his lips deepened.

His phone in his pocket kept vibrating, flooded with New Year's wishes from friends and colleagues.

Feeling cheerful, Emmitt responded to each message with a generous digital gift.
