The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1211

Meg clutched the book in her arms so tightly that her nails left marks on the cover, yet she didn't even notice. She stood there, frozen, silent.

Taylor, unaware of the tension between Meg and Mirabella, turned to Meg and said, "Professor Hammond asked us to keep an eye on Mirabella, the freshman. I've been too busy with my research to chat with her. Meg, since you're in the same department as Mirabella, you two must get along pretty well, right?"

Meg met Taylor's gaze with a smile that was dangerously close to cracking. She pressed her lips together and replied, "We don't really hang out much. We're in different majors, so we don't cross paths often."

Taylor nodded in understanding. "Got it. By the way, have you checked the university forum lately?"

Meg felt a pang of anxiety but tried to keep her voice steady as she answered quietly, "No, why?"

Ever since the incident where she was publicly embarrassed for plagiarizing Mirabella's idea, she'd buried herself in academic work, avoiding the forum to escape any reminders of the ordeal.

"There's a post about a biotechnology project being picked up by the Institute of Technology. You should take a look," Taylor mentioned.

He wasn't particularly invested in the project; his interest in Mirabella stemmed from other reasons.

Seeing a hint of admiration in Taylor's eyes made Meg feel uneasy. She nodded absently and said, "I'll check it out. You should go mingle, I'll skip it. I've got a lab exam this afternoon and need to cram."

She gave the book in her arms a reassuring pat.

Taylor studied her for a moment, then nodded, "I'll just say hi and be back."

"Alright." Meg found a spot to sit down.
