The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1017

Meg's fingers tightened and then loosened as she maintained her meticulously composed appearance, showing no trace of worry. "You all keep working on the calculations and checking for errors; I'm going to see my professor," she said with a calm confidence.

At this point, she needed her professor to step in. After all, he was the department head, while Zane was just a regular faculty member.

Her teammates, who had been a bit rattled, found a surprising sense of calm at her words. Of course, how could they forget that Meg's professor was Mr. Calvin? With him on their side, what was there to fret about?

Meg left the science building and headed straight to Mr. Calvin's office. Luckily, he only had one class today, and she caught him just as he returned.

Meg carefully explained the idea she had borrowed from Mirabella to Mr. Calvin. When he heard her out, he frowned deeply. "Didn't you tell me the second paper was an original idea from you and your team?"

He had been so proud to have such a talented student, and now she was saying the idea was actually based on a freshman's suggestion?

Meg couldn't meet Mr. Calvin's eyes, her head bowed, hands clenched in front of her. "I'm sorry, professor. I know I let you down. I just thought Mirabella's approach had more research value, so I redid it using her idea."

Mr. Calvin rubbed his forehead, "So now Mirabella is accusing you of stealing her idea?"

Meg's eyelashes fluttered as she nodded heavily. "It's my fault. I didn't get her permission when I tweaked our project based on her idea."
