The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1841

Wyatt shrugged casually and said, "You've been undercover at the First Base for so long, I haven't had the chance to fill you in. The word about the hidden treasure in the catacombs has already gotten out. I'm planning to use this chance to draw out that sneaky thief."

Curtis listened, eyebrows knitting in confusion. "What did you just say? Can you run that by me again?"

A thief? Was Wyatt really talking about what he thought he was?

Wyatt repeated with firm determination, "…If that thief shows his face this time, I promise he won't be getting away!"

Hearing Wyatt repeatedly call out the thief, Curtis felt like Wyatt was playing with fire. After a couple of seconds of silence, he realized that leaving his buddy hanging wouldn’t sit right with him after all these years of friendship.

With a serious nod, Curtis said, "Hey man, I've got faith in you. If you nab him, it'll be a major win, and you won’t have to worry about your future."

Wyatt, feeling a bit buoyed by the compliment, grinned. "No problem, no problem."

Curtis gave a little cough, then turned his gaze to the car window, trying to maintain his serious demeanor.

**The Next Day**

Mirabella set off for Ravenshade. Even though the contract signing was set for the next day, Dan wanted her there early to get a feel for things.

Bright and early, a convoy led by Reid parked at the front of the main estate. About a dozen modified bulletproof SUVs made for an impressive sight, and before long, the convoy was smoothly making its way out of the Davis Estate.

Melissa's face fell. Her relationship with her family wasn’t great. "I'm not going."

Penelope didn’t look back at her mother, simply turning and heading inside. There was no room for negotiation.

Melissa stood there, taken aback by her daughter's decision to send her back to her family at this moment. She just wanted to clear the way for her.

*After leaving the Davis Estate, it was about a six-hour drive to Ravenshade, but Mirabella got out of the car not long after they set off. She told Reid to go ahead and meet Dan since today was also the day the archaeological team was entering the catacombs.

The catacombs were in Baycliffe, a neighboring town to Ravenshade, only about a two-hour drive away. So, Mirabella had planned to stop by the catacombs on her way. She wasn’t really after the treasure, but word had it that the item Nellie was looking for might just turn up in the catacombs.
