The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1900

"The point is..." Santos glanced at Nellie with a look that was hard to read, only to be met with a sharp gaze that screamed 'warning'.

Santos let out a dry laugh. "Women are not only foolish but downright ridiculous."

Risking everything for a man? What could be more foolish? Santos was done with the chatter. He raised his hand slightly, signaling the elite assassin beside him to make a move.

He had a meeting with King to get to and wasn't interested in playing Q&A with this doomed couple.

**As the clock struck eight, over in Harmony Valley, Mirabella, James, and a few others stepped out of the mayor's house, heading straight for the Forbidden Grove.

The mayor escorted them to the grove's entrance and then stopped. His flashlight beamed into the dense trees, but it was like the light hit an invisible wall and couldn't get through.

"I can only take you this far. Be careful," the mayor said with a slow nod.

Mirabella gave a slight nod in return, "Thanks."

The mayor smiled, gesturing for them to hurry, "Go on, best not to linger."

With a soft 'hmm,' Mirabella stepped into the grove, hidden under layers of ancient mechanisms.

As she stepped in, it seemed like the air hummed briefly, but then it was silent again.

She brushed some stray hair from her face. After a couple of steps, she paused, turning back to the mayor, "You saw them go in yourself?"

The mayor blinked, unsure why she asked, but nodded honestly.

Mirabella's eyes flickered with thought, but she didn't press further and continued forward.

What puzzled them was that such a huge estate had a blank nameplate above the entrance—no name, nothing.

It was mysterious and eerie, almost like no one lived there. It lacked any sign of life.

"This is the Massolio estate?" James asked, his eyes narrowing with seriousness.

"Yes." Mirabella replied as she stepped onto the first stair.

Her silhouette was straight and steady, climbing the stairs with measured steps.
