The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 254

The door to the private dining room swung open, and the waiter bustled in with plates of food, effectively cutting off Adler’s burgeoning sense of astonishment.

As soon as the waiter left, Adler jumped right back in. “So, what about before...?”

Mirabella casually reached for her fork, speared a piece of meat, and replied nonchalantly, “Oh, all that? Just my own wild guesses, and none of it is actually tested in practice.”

Adler was floored.

Wild guesses, untested, yet they pinpointed the solution to a problem that had stumped their research institute for years... Suddenly, he felt a twinge of regret. Why exactly had he thought meeting this big shot was a good idea? It was a blow to his pride, to say the least.

Adler decided to switch gears. “You’re not from Riverdale, are you?”

Mirabella gave a distracted grunt of acknowledgment, not even bothering to look up. Adler had no choice but to quell his curiosity and focus on his meal.

After a quiet dinner, Adler led Mirabella to his private residence — the address he had previously given her for the courier delivery. His personal lab was set up in the basement of his villa, decked out with a wide array of equipment.

Mirabella took a sweeping glance at the instruments and felt her resolve to learn strengthen. She turned to Adler with a sigh, “I might need more than just your lab.”

Adler blinked in surprise. “Oh?”

“I’ll need to borrow you as well,” Mirabella said bluntly.
