The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1250

Mirabella had finally pieced together Nick's intentions, and her quick temper started bubbling up. She didn't really get why he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear he was missing a good old-fashioned talking-to from his parents.

Taking a deep breath, Mirabella quickly whipped up a bit of code and slipped it into the research institute's system. A few seconds later, she pulled up the surveillance footage. But, as luck would have it, Nick was nowhere to be found—he seemed to have mastered the art of staying in the cameras' blind spots.

Seeing the empty footage, her temper simmered down a bit. Just then, her sneaky little program flagged someone trying to hack into the system, and it also caught a signal from a communication device.

Mirabella couldn't believe the audacity—these folks were practically begging to be caught. Feeling a headache coming on, she scratched her head, pulled out a pair of headphones from her drawer, and plugged them into her computer. Then she got back to work on her computer with lightning speed.

Meanwhile, over on the other side, Atlas was busy fiddling with the frequencies to connect the communicator. Suddenly, he heard a beep in his headset, signaling a successful connection.

Atlas's eyes lit up, and he whispered eagerly, "Mr. Nick, everything okay over there? Any trouble?"

"No trouble yet, but if you keep poking around in the system, who knows."

Atlas was expecting Nick's voice, so when he heard a familiar female voice instead, he was completely thrown off. It took him a hot second to pull himself together. His first instinct was to check if his headset had gone haywire. Could it be a hallucination? How could Miss Mira's voice possibly come through the headset?

The tech team nearby noticed Atlas acting strangely and paused their work to look at him. "What's up, Atlas? Is the connection failing?"

The headset seemed fine, so Atlas just shrugged it off, "Nah, my ears must be playing tricks. I swear I heard Miss Mira’s voice."

Mirabella: "............"
