The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1182

As Austin and Kitty were both caught up in their own frustrations, Mr. Wright, the lawyer who hadn't yet left, turned to Austin and finally spoke up, "Mr. Austin, it’s probably a good idea to start sorting out Miss Delilah's inheritance sooner rather than later."

Hearing Mr. Wright’s voice brought Austin back to reality, realizing the lawyer was still there. He was just about to respond when Kitty stepped in, "Mr. Wright, you’ve got some nerve, taking all that money from us just to hand over the will to an outsider."

Kitty shot Mr. Wright a cold glare. She had hoped that someone from the Shepherd family would come and smooth over the whole mess with the audio and the will. But to her dismay, that person knew her elder sister’s daughter. Now, the story of the old man’s will would be all over their social circles before tomorrow even arrived.

On top of the recording and the will, there was also the tale of how Kitty, Miss Cunningham, had taken Miss Mira's place to marry into the Blake family. This would spark endless gossip and speculation.

Even though Kitty usually had a good reputation with the elite, there were always a few society ladies she didn’t get along with. Tonight’s scandal would give them the perfect opportunity to drag her name through the mud.

The image she’d worked so hard to build was on the verge of unraveling.

Mr. Wright’s wrinkled face showed a hint of helplessness, "I’m sorry, I never expected that will to surface again."

Kitty let out a scoff, "What good is your apology now? You’re an ungrateful traitor, forgetting who pulled you out of the fire back then."

Mr. Wright lowered his head, letting Kitty vent her anger. Once she was done, he finally said, "Regardless, Mr. Austin, miss, it would be best to sort out and return Miss Delilah's share of the inheritance. It’s for the best..."

Austin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, "Actually, Mr. Wright isn’t wrong. That girl has connections with the Shepherd family, and if they decide to back her, do you think..."

Kitty interrupted, raising her hand dismissively, "Emmitt, you're overthinking it. If the Shepherd family were really going to step in, do you think any of this would’ve happened tonight? Why go through all the trouble with the will and the audio?"

The Shepherd family wasn’t like their typical wealthy clans; they never meddled in noble affairs, and Kitty couldn’t imagine James breaking his principles for a girl.

"Putting the Shepherd family aside, there's something off about my elder sister's daughter herself. How did she get her hands on today’s audio? And how did she manage to send it to everyone’s phones? Haven’t you wondered about that?" Austin said, his voice heavy with concern.
