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

Nellie paused for a moment when Cassie asked for her help. Her emotions were all over the place, but she managed to keep them to herself. After taking a deep breath, she finally said, "Alright, I got it. I'll jot down the recipe and the steps for making the fragrance."

Cassie chimed in, "Thanks a lot, Nellie."

Cassie's voice had that youthful clarity with a touch of respect that made Nellie's throat tighten a bit. Before hanging up, Nellie added, "Try not to stick to Rea too much."

Cassie felt a twinge of irritation but didn't let it show. Instead, she asked, "Why not?"

"Do you think you're as capable as your sister Rea?" Nellie shot back, her tone icy.

Cassie felt a bit hurt and tried to defend herself, "Well, I'm not as good as her, but I do have my moments..."

"Can you dodge danger like she can?" Nellie's voice dripped with sarcasm.

Cassie scratched her nose, getting the hint right away. "So, you're saying I'm just dragging sis down?"

"Glad you get it," Nellie replied flatly before ending the call.

Cassie was left staring at her phone, thinking, "So, love really can just fade away, huh?"

**A short while later, Nellie sent over two photos.

One was a list of ingredients, and the other detailed the quantities and how to make the fragrance.

Cassie quickly forwarded the list to James. Once he got it, James had someone gather the ingredients.

Since nothing was particularly rare, Curtis managed to bring everything back in about an hour, despite it being the middle of the night. Cassie couldn't help but be impressed with James. David, who'd already memorized the instructions Cassie gave him, looked at Cassie and suggested, "Since you know how to make it, why don't you give me a hand..."

David saw her point and didn't push it, "Alright then."

With that, he got to work on the fragrance.

Making the fragrance was just as mentally taxing as making medicine, so Cassie stayed nearby, keeping an eye on David.

Thankfully, David was doing well, and after about an hour, the incense was ready.

By then, morning light was starting to peek through.

David lit the incense and placed it on the small coffee table by the bed. "Is this all we need to do?"

"Yeah," Cassie nodded. "If all goes well, my sister should wake up in a few hours."

James, who had been quietly watching, finally seemed to relax a bit. He glanced at Cassie, deep in thought.

Noticing his gaze, Cassie turned to look at him, but he had already looked away.

Cassie shrugged it off and turned to David, "stay here with my

“Alright,” David, feeling the fatigue, nodded.

James, acting like he hadn't noticed Cassie's deliberate tone, helped David to the

guest room next door.

When he returned, the door to Mirabella's room was already closed.

Seeing this, James stayed calm and headed downstairs.
