The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1016

Linden fiddled with his nose, curious but smart enough not to dig deeper. He left the office shortly after.

An hour later, Wade showed up at the department. After a brief chat with Zane, he remarked, "I had a look at Calvin's student's paper earlier. The first version was all about genetic engineering and didn't really stand out. Then Calvin brought me a revised version, the one focusing on the value of decoding genetic codes. The thesis and the differentiation formulas were way more polished."

Wade paused, setting his glass on the coffee table. "So, that second paper was Mirabella's idea?"

He'd been puzzled about how a student could whip up such a mature thesis so quickly. It seemed extraordinary. Research papers aren't like your average essays; they demand lots of time for digging up data and testing theories.

If she'd borrowed someone else's ideas, though, it made sense.

Zane was surprised to learn Wade had read Meg's paper. If that was true, it strengthened the case that Meg had used Mirabella's concept, didn't it?

Zane gathered his thoughts, nodding, "I mentioned before how Mirabella could whip up a 3D simulation in no time. If I'm right, Meg's paper must've been based on Mirabella's calculations."

For someone with a good foundation, writing a paper based on another's calculations isn't too tough.

"Technically, Meg using Mirabella's calculations isn't outright theft, but doing it without asking isn't cool either. If everyone starts ignoring morals, things would get messy, right?"

Wade tapped his knee, his presence commanding yet calm. After a pause, he said, "Go gather everyone."

"Got it," Zane replied, quickly leaving the office.
