Leo extended his arms and embraced Mirabe, his arms enveloping her slender frame in a way that was almost heartbreaking. "You''ve lost weight."


    "It''s probably just that I''ve gained weight in less noticeable ces," Mirabe replied with a smile.


    Hearing this made Leo''s throat tighten with emotion. He patted Mirabe on the shoulder and said, "I''ll be on vacation for a while, so we should definitely go out and have some fun."


    Collins, who was pushing the luggage cart behind them, caught up just in time to hear Leo''s n for a fun outing. After greeting Mirabe, he couldn''t help butment, "Sis, let me tell you, your brother is like a whimsical little princess."


    Mirabe''s lips twitched. "What do you mean?"


    "Skipping out on lucrative ad shoots and endorsements. You have no idea how much money he''s wasted," Collins began to calcte, gesturing a figure in the air, "It''s easily worth a three-bedroom house in Riverdale!"


    Mirabe stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.


    She had thought her bonus this year would be enough for a down payment in Riverdale. Now, someone was telling her that her brother had squandered an amount equivalent to a three-bedroom house?


    Mirabe sighed lightly before turning to Collins. "Do you think it''s toote for me to switch careers and join the entertainment industry?"


    Leo, standing beside them, was speechless.


    Collins chuckled, "I''d actually consider it, but I''m afraid of being used of wasting a talented individual''s potential."


    Leo felt it was imperative to keep his manager from further influencing Mirabe, so he quickly grabbed their luggage, "Collins, you should head back and rest. My sister and I will head home now."


    Without waiting for a response, he took Mirabe''s arm and swiftly led her ahead, leaving Collins standing there, puzzled.


    Wasn''t it just a convenient opportunity to give them a ride?

    By five o''clock, the siblings had returned home from the airport.


    Dinner wasn''t ready yet, and Mirabe''s phone buzzed in her pocket. She nced


    at her parents and brother talking in the living room before pulling out her phone.


    J: [Are you free? I need you to check out an app for me.]


    Mirabe nced at the message and replied that she was busy.


    J: [Dad, I know you''re free.]


    Mirabe: [......]


    J: [I''ve sent it to your email.]


    Thinking back to what Collins had said at the airport, Mirabe quickly replied: [I


    don''t work for free. Pay up.]


    J: [Talking about money hurts feelings.]


    Mirabe''s lips curled slightly as typed stoically: [Are you talking aather-son affection?


    t a son honor his nee


    J: [......Alright, you win.]


    Soon, Mirabe received a payment notification on Messenger. Seeing the six figure sum, she could only marvel at the straightforward generosity of the wealthy


    After epting the payment, she responded patiently: [I''ll check it on myputerter and give you a detailed look. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask


    J: [...]


    Feeling quite pleased, Mirabe put away her phone.


    Before long, Marian finished preparing the meal.


    The family, minus Nick, enjoyed a small reunion, and the atmosphere at the


    dinner table was warm and cozy.


    After dinner, Mirabe went upstairs.


    In her room, she powered on herputer.


    There was an encryptedpressed file in her email, which she quickly downloaded.


    Without bothering to ask for the password, Mirabe used a decryption software and unlocked the file in less than ten seconds.


    The file contained a program rted to a smart system.


    Looking at the program, Mirabe suddenly remembered Zane mentioning somethingst year about the DO Group extending an olive branch.
