The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1244

"Yeah, I happened to spot a medicinal plant at his place that was exactly what Dean's been searching for," Presley admitted without hesitation.

He paused for a second before adding, "I've already snapped a photo and sent it over to his secretary. I’m expecting a reply soon."

Hearing this, David frowned. He recalled Paul mentioning that his plant wasn't something just anyone could handle, and the way he cared for it suggested it was no ordinary plant. Presley's decision to take pictures and send them without permission was bound to upset Paul.

"You should've run this by me first. That plant is Paul's private property," David said, clearly annoyed. How was this any different from stealing?

Presley just shrugged off David's words with a smirk, "How can a plant at the botanical base be considered his private property? Besides, we did pay him."

Was it really worth all this fuss over a single plant? David seemed to be losing sight of what mattered.

Not wanting to get into a squabble, Presley suggested, "He got paid, so he should do his part. Mr. President, you should really reach out to him and get him back here soon."

David's face darkened as he reluctantly replied, "Paul's headed back to his hometown for some urgent stuff. He won't be back anytime soon."

Presley frowned, "Tesla can't wait around forever."

"Got it, I'll handle it," David replied curtly before ending the call.

Presley heard the click of the call ending and scoffed to himself. He pondered the situation with Paul for a moment, then dialed another number from his contacts.
