The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1201

Mirabella was still mulling over whether she might have made a mistake when Linden's voice snapped her back. It took her a couple of seconds to respond, "Oh, no, they’re definitely going to go with this plan."

Calvin wouldn't joke about something this serious.

Maybe she was wrong, and the other party wasn’t trying to pull a fast one.

Mirabella paused, a thought crossing her mind. She turned to Zane, "Hey, Zane, what are the requirements for applying for a patent?"

Zane was familiar with Mirabella's tendency to suddenly call on him. He quickly replied, "Funny you bring it up; I was already planning to start on the patent application once the tech institute gives us the green light."

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, impressed by Zane's attention to detail when it mattered.

"Can we actually patent our project?" Jessie asked, clearly surprised and not really familiar with patents.

"Yep, we can," Zane replied, giving Jessie a quick rundown on the benefits of a patent. "But honestly, at this stage, we’re not quite there yet. The system’s not fully developed, and it might not pass the review. We’ll take it step by step."

Seeing Zane was on top of it, Mirabella didn’t push further.

Meanwhile, Hank, anxious about the project, had rushed back to the lab after chatting with Dr. King, leaving his assistant to see the visitors off.

Just as they were heading to the parking lot, Mirabella and the gang hadn’t even reached their car when a sleek sedan pulled up nearby.

Hank's assistant glanced up, his face turning serious, and whispered to the group, "That’s Dr. Ray’s car."

At the mention of Dr. Ray, Dr. King and Calvin quickly averted their eyes and gave Mirabella and the crew a look, silently telling them not to stare.
