The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1832

The Elder watched Mirabella's actions without a hint of worry that she'd uncover anything suspicious. He lightly tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Go ahead, Miss Mira."

Next to her, Nick smoothly took the tablet from Mirabella's hands, fully aware that fairness wasn't exactly the council's forte. "Mira, how about letting me go first?"

Whoever drew the first task was undoubtedly going to get the short end of the stick, with a task already set up to be a dud.

The Elder raised an eyebrow at this but didn’t step in. After all, it didn’t really matter which of the siblings went first.

Mirabella tilted her head, "If I say I mind, would it mess up our sibling bond?"

Nick was caught off guard, "Huh?"

Mirabella took back the tablet, her eyes twinkling with a hint of mischief, "Everything should be fair, right?"

With that, she tapped the screen to draw her task.

At this point, it was too late for Nick to say anything.

"A collab task with Ravenshade?" The Elder took back the tablet, looking surprised. Turning to Mirabella, he grinned, "Looks like luck's on your side, Miss Mira, drawing a task that's supposedly a breeze."

How could this be considered an easy task?

"Given how well the Davis family is doing, do we really need to get tangled up with Ravenshade?" Nick's voice was cold, his gaze sharp on the Elder. "Everyone here knows what Ravenshade is about, right? And you call this easy?"

The Elder was ready for this kind of pushback and calmly explained, "Mr. Nick, you might not know, but the Davis family and Ravenshade's leaders have already hashed things out. Miss Mira's task is simple: just to sign a cooperation agreement on our behalf."

In other words, look, it's just signing a contract, stamping it, jotting down a few words—what's so hard about that? Nick wasn't buying it. If it were that easy, wouldn't they have passed it on to Penelope?

At that moment, the steward handling the Ravenshade negotiations stood up, looking uneasy. He hadn’t expected the council to make this a guild task and firmly objected, "No, I don't think getting Miss Mira involved is a good idea."
