The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1360

As Mirabella faced Curtis's hesitant confession, she couldn't help but notice his downcast eyes. "Yeah…" he murmured.

Wyatt, standing nearby, cleared his throat. "The real problem is, this guy's slippery as an eel. Our team can't get a bead on him. But given he's from some secretive family, maybe he's got some tricks up his sleeve?"

Mirabella shot Wyatt a look, feeling the need to set the record straight. "We're all just regular folks here. Special abilities? That's a stretch."

James raised an eyebrow at her remark, clearly intrigued.

"Anyway, we've lost track of him," Curtis admitted, a hint of defeat in his voice. The mystery person was a master at staying hidden. They couldn't even figure out if it was a man or a woman, let alone what they looked like.

Curtis suddenly recalled something and quickly added, "I think he might be tied to the Pharmaceutical Association. We lost him near their building."

Mirabella's frown deepened. Why did everything seem to circle back to the Pharmaceutical Association?

As she was lost in thought, James broke the silence, "What did David want with you today?"

Mirabella took a moment to respond, as if coming back from a distant place. "He's under the weather. I just went to check on him."

James nodded, "The Pharmaceutical Association's been a hot mess lately. Plenty of folks eyeing Mr. Boyd's position."

Mirabella turned to him, curious, "How do you know?"

James gave a slight smile, "While you were out of it for a few days, I had David swing by the hospital. I kept tabs on things."

Mirabella touched her nose, realization dawning. "So, David's been set up."

A slow-acting poison, nearly impossible to detect—this wasn't something thrown together overnight. The intrigue and power plays were endless. Her earlier decision to steer clear of formally joining the Association seemed wiser than ever.
