The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1837

Penelope clasped her wrist, choosing not to respond to Melissa's question. After a moment of silence, she pulled out her phone and dialed Nick’s number. The call connected almost instantly.

Without mincing words, Penelope asked, "Can we meet up?"

Nick, still behind the wheel, was caught off guard by her sudden request. After a quick moment of thought, he replied, "Sure, where are you?"

"I'm back at the Davis Estate," she said, her gaze lazily drifting to the view outside the large window. "See you in half an hour."

With that, she ended the call.

Melissa, still in the room, couldn’t help but ask, "Who did you just arrange to meet?"

"Nick," Penelope answered straightforwardly.

Melissa had never been a fan of Nick. "Why are you meeting him?"

"Just need to discuss something," Penelope replied, tucking her phone into her pocket and standing up. "Weren't you heading out, Mom?"

"I was, but you seemed like you had something on your mind," Melissa said with a knowing smile.

Penelope shook her head. "Nothing's up. You go ahead. I’m heading upstairs."

Melissa watched her daughter hurry up the stairs, a slight furrow in her brow. This was a crucial phase in the heir evaluation—hopefully, nothing unexpected would come up.

Pondering this, Melissa took out her phone and sent a quick message to Jaime before finally heading out.

*Half an hour later, Penelope arrived at the Davis family's main house. Nick had just gotten back a few minutes earlier.

"So, what’s up?" he asked.

She placed a sealed envelope on the coffee table. "I've outlined all my terms in this document."

Nick narrowed his eyes, slowly reaching for the envelope. Just before he could open it, Penelope spoke again.

"Out of good faith, I'll help your sister first. You can check out the document once everything is wrapped up."

Her tone was calm and assured.

Nick paused, surprised by her offer, still trying to figure out her real motive.

Just then, the sound of a door opening outside caught their attention.

Penelope's eyes flickered briefly as she stood up, leaving the document where it was. "That's all for now. I’ll be on my way."
