Ariel watched on with interest, so this is the life Mirabel is living currently in order to keep her fame, such a bitch, not that Ariel felt bad for Mirabel or anything, she was just amused at the fact one will tolerate anything for power and fame.
"What do you mean by that Vincent? I'm her mother, only I will love and cherish her." Mirabel stated imitating a mother pooling with love for her child, while giving Anna a side eye warning her not to do anything stupid.
