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

Chapter 1713

The shopkeeper squinted at his phone, wondering if his eyes were deceiving him. Where was the rare, precious medicine he was promised? Was this it? Really?

Mirabella caught his bewildered look and asked, "What's up? Is it not available?"

With a sigh, he said, "Give me a sec, I'll get everything for you."

After speaking, he took out his phone, snapped a picture of the list on Mirabella's screen, and headed back to the counter, not forgetting to grab his freshly brewed coffee.
