Chapter 321
Mirabella snagged Leo’s hat from the adjacent seat and plunked it right over her face. Was she the kind of girl who needed her looks to get by? No way!
“Man, folks like you who treat money like it’s dirt are a rare breed these days,” Collins sighed, shaking his head with a mix of admiration and disbelief. He’d come to realize something about these siblings–their reckless streak was cut from the same cloth.
Beneath the shadow of the hat, Mirabella’s eyelids fluttered.
Leo glanced at Mirabella, then grabbed a blanket from the car and draped it over her shoulders before speaking up. “Better to stay under the radar, right? Mirabella is still grinding through her senior year of high school. With those looks of hers, she’d hit the big time, no sweat. But getting recognized everywhere? That’s a hassle. Plus, disguises are a pain.”
Hearing Leo boast about the inevitable ‘big time,‘ Collins‘ lips twitched. Was this guy just a walking hype machine for his sister? Collins had seen plenty of braggers, but this level of shamelessness was something else.
“It’s all good, though. If Walker has no issues with it, then let’s keep her out of the spotlight,” Collins gave in, figuring a mask might even add a bit of mystery. After all, with a superstar
even if she wanted to.
brother’s aura, there was no way she could keep a low profile
Leo sat up straight, his voice taking on a somber note. “Besides, it’s not like we’re hurting for cash.”
Collins didn’t respond. That statement just begged for a punch.
Just then, Mirabella flipped the hat off her face, revealing deep, almond–shaped eyes. “No, we
are.”
Leo was baffled by her statement. Wait, what?
Harmony Point was a well–known tourist hub in Ashford, dotted with spots that were Instagram gold.
After a three–hour drive, they finally arrived at the filming location. Before getting out of the car. Mirabella had already slipped on her mask. She and Leo had barely stepped out when they were instantly swarmed by the crew’s cameras.
Mirabella paused, turning to Leo, “Are we late or something?” She lifted her wrist to check the time.
It’s only half past nine. Wasn’t the live broadcast supposed to start at ten sharp?
While Mirabella was visibly surprised, Leo’s expression was even more dramatic. After a moment of shock, he managed to muster, “Ah, maybe the crew’s just tweaking the cameras or something.” He’d seen this kind of thing during music video shoots.

Mirabella narrowed her eyes skeptically, then glanced at the crew’s cameras. “Doesn’t really
look like that to me.”
This was Leo’s first time on a live reality show, and he instinctively scratched his head, “Let me check with Collins…” He turned around, only to find that Collins–and the car–had vanished.
Leo was shocked.
Meanwhile, on the streaming platform:
[OMG, the last mystery guests are Juztin… I’m totally bamboozled.]
[The surprise hit me like a tornado.]
[LOL, ‘tweaking the cameras? Do you not realize we’re already live?]
[‘Tweaking the cameras‘ somehow hits my funny bone just right.]
[Hahaha, the look of utter confusion on Juztin’s face is priceless. It’s confirmed–the crew has pranked them!]
[Who’s the girl with the mask? I heard her call our guest, Leo, so is this Juztin’s sister?]
[Why is the girl wearing a mask? Could it be she’s not exactly a looker?]
[Did anyone else notice that the girl seems quicker on the uptake than her brother? Just look at their expressions for comparison.]
