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

Chapter 1657

Mirabella was completely unaware of the emotional storm her words had stirred up in Nellie. She nodded patiently, repeating, "This is where my Uncle Chester lives."

When Nellie heard those words again, she couldn't help but catch her breath. She was at a loss for how to describe the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her.

Never in a million years had she expected such a twist of fate. That Rea, this child, would be connected to that man.

She closed her eyes for a moment and murmured, "Seems like your Uncle Chester's quite the wealthy guy."

"Isn't he just?" Mirabella chimed in, unable to resist adding, "Oh, my Uncle Chester is loaded, but who knows who'll end up with his fortune one day."

Nellie was caught off guard again. After a pause, she asked, "What do you mean? Shouldn't it be... shouldn't it be his kids who inherit?"

Mirabella glanced around the grand hall and sighed, "Well, my Uncle Chester's had a pretty rough ride. No kids, no wife, living all alone in this big ol' mansion. Don't you think it's a bit sad, Nellie?"
