The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 337

On the computer screen, strings of data zipped by. The tech guy’s fingers were flying over the keyboard with lightning speed. Next to him, a sleek, black case housed a device that automatically assembled into a compact frame. A button on the frame blinked a menacing red, much like those infrared scanners you’d see in a spy flick. It screamed high-tech.

Shawn, who had been staring for a while, was utterly baffled. He remembered the last time he had a security system installed, and it was nothing like this elaborate setup.

Just a simple computer system and a few cameras - bing, bang, boom, done. What was with all this fancy computer work?

Shawn rubbed his nose, and his confusion deepened. He left the room and headed to the living room where his wife was. “Hey, honey, I don’t recall the security setup being this complex last time, do you?”

Delilah, who had glanced at the setup only briefly and knew jack about computers, suggested, “Maybe the guy Mira hired is some sort of specialist for the system?”

“Could be,” Shawn muttered, not quite convinced.

An hour later, the installers had the whole villa’s security and surveillance system upgraded and polished off. After giving a quick tutorial on how to use it, they were out the door.

Shawn, with his phone in his hand, was now staring at an app icon that sparkled like a diamond. Tapping it open, he was greeted with live feeds of their entire house. The app was chock-full of neat features – a panic button, automatic power shut-off, night vision activation, you name it.

The real kicker was the instant alert on his phone if someone tripped any of the sensors at home. No more sleepless nights worrying about break-ins. This setup was light-years ahead of their old system, which, at the time, was touted as top-of-the-line.

Shawn looked up, still a bit dazed, and turned to Delilah. “Where on earth did our daughter find these tech wizards?”
