The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 688

Mirabella pulled out her phone, glanced at it, and got up from her chair. "You guys mull this over, I need to take a call."

She was already by the window, pressing the answer button.

Collins looked up from his laptop and called out, "I'll send this video to my buddy, see if he can ID this guy."

"Sure," Mirabella replied, then turned her focus back to the phone. "Hey, what's up?"

It was James on the other end.

Hearing Collins in the background, James asked, "Got company?"

"Not really, just Leo's agent," Mirabella answered.

James raised an eyebrow, piecing together what he'd heard. "Right, about your brother's car trouble, I've got some leads. I'll send you the details."

Mirabella was intrigued. "You found out who messed with the car?"

"Yeah."

"Hold on a sec," she said, then turned to Collins. "Never mind sending it to your friend, we've got our guy."

"Huh?" Collins, mid-message on Messenger, looked up, puzzled.

Mirabella told James to send the information immediately, then hung up. Moments later, she received the files from James.

Opening them, she saw several clear mugshots. The face matched the tall, slim figure with the baseball cap they'd seen in the surveillance footage.

The guy was definitely the same: Emerson.

"Emerson?" Collins's eyes narrowed. "Isn't Emerson Jay's younger brother?"

"Yeah, but why him?" Leo murmured, his expression turning somber.

Mirabella glanced at her little brother and asked Collins, "Wasn't it some guy named Jay who spread those rumors about Leo stealing music online?"

"Right, this Emerson is his brother. Jay's always been jealous of Leo. If he's behind this, it all makes sense," Collins deduced.

After a brief pause, he added, "You know, now that you mention it, Jay once bragged that his brother works at a garage."

Someone who worked at a garage would know a lot more about car troubles than the average Joe. If he tampered with the car covertly, he could probably do it without getting caught.

And as for wiping the dashcam and parking lot surveillance footage... maybe he's also a whiz with computers?"
