The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 866

Curtis, feeling the pressure, could only wait. When it came to decrypting digital info, he had to admit Ms. Mirabella was way ahead of him.

"I'll wait for your update," he texted back quickly.

After hitting send, Curtis slipped his phone into his pocket and turned his attention back to his laptop. A stubborn file on the screen had him stumped despite all his efforts.

Wyatt finished his call and looked over. "Any luck with Ms. Mirabella?"

"Not yet," Curtis said, fingers tapping away. "She'll be free in twenty minutes."

Wyatt sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, use that time to give it another shot.”

Curtis's fingers hesitated for a second.

Wyatt leaned against the arm of the sofa, watching Curtis's screen like a hawk.

Curtis couldn't take it anymore. "Can you please get out of my face?" he snapped through gritted teeth.

Wyatt shot him a look. "What, can't handle a little pressure?"

Curtis took a deep breath, reminding himself not to lose his cool.

Just then, James walked in, still in his camo gear, his presence commanding the room.

Wyatt stood up straight when James approached, quickly greeting him, "James."

Curtis stood too, nodding respectfully with his laptop in hand.

"Who's in charge of the shipment for the States?" James asked as he took off his hat.

James pressed his temples, silence hanging heavy in the air. The room was eerily quiet until he finally spoke. "Where’s the equipment now?"

"Seized by the authorities before it could leave," Curtis replied quickly.

James squinted, his voice steady. "Who’s handling it on their end?"

Curtis couldn't help but give a bitter smile. "Andrew."

Andrew and Sam, both big shots in central security—one a deputy minister, the other a minister.

James frowned. "How did it end up with him?"

Wyatt jumped in, "We didn’t expect Andrew to be the one to seize it, and he did it under the guise of illegality."
