The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Dane knew his father couldn't resist asking. The corners of his lips twitched

upward slightly, and then he nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any mistake. I told you before, Presley has a wide network, and he wouldn't boast without reason."

Upon hearing this, Nikolai's excitement faded as he pondered over Presley's character, and the hope that had ignited on his face began to dim, bit by bit.

At this moment, him saying he has the Stevenson family's medicine might not necessarily be a good thing.

Nikolai hadn't forgotten that the news of James's recurring illness came from Aron, who had heard it from Presley.

So, putting all this together, it was impossible to think Presley had no ulterior motive!

Nikolai, having come to a realization, suddenly looked up at Dane with a particularly serious gaze, "Aron, tell me the truth, was all this calculated by you and Presley in advance?"

Deliberately passing the message to him, letting him know of James's illness, and then informing him about the life-saving medicine in Presley's possession, finally having him relay the message to James, all to achieve their real intention.

Dane didn't expect his father to react so quickly, his expression momentarily uncomfortable. Soon, he shook his head in denial, "No, Dad, you're overthinking it. Who would dare to scheme against James?"

"Aron, do you think your father has become senile? Can't even figure this out?" Nikolai felt a pang of sorrow.

No wonder he suddenly changed his mind today about letting him go back, it was all for his own selfish desires.

"I really didn't..." Dane started to object, but upon meeting his father's clouded yet insightful eyes, he couldn't continue.

Turning his head away, after a few seconds of silence, Dane simply admitted, "Even if it was calculated, what about it? At the end of the day, it's all because you forced us!"

If he had helped him get the recipe from Mirabella earlier, none of this would have happened.

Nikolai was taken aback, not expecting to be implicated himself, and murmured in response, "I forced you? How did I force you?"

"You knew Presley needed the recipe

from Mirabella, and not only did you not help me, but you also

Dane

What was I supposed to said, his expression turning sour.

Hearing this accusation, Nikolai felt as if his brain had exploded, his head buzzing with emptiness. If not for his hand propping him up on the couch, he might have collapsed uncontrollably.

After a while, he trembled his lips and said, "So, it's all for the recipe in Mirabella's hands, isn't it?"noveldrama

Indeed, besides the recipe, what else would Presley not want to obtain?

The relationship between James and Mirabella, they indeed had devised a good strategy.

Dane turned his head away, avoiding looking at his father's pale face, and coldly said, "Yes, it's just a few recipes."

Just a few recipes... that's all?

Nikolai took a deep breath, leaning back, his eyes swelling with a hint of sorrow as he looked up at the ceiling.

How could the Reeves family have produced such shameless, morally bankrupt individuals?

With his emaciated fingers pinching together, Nikolai suppressed the discomfort in his chest and looked at Dane again, seeming to have aged several years, "Can you listen to your father and give up on this?"

His voice was almost pleading.
