The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 896

Mirabella raised an eyebrow at his last comment, "There's another half?"

The shopkeeper glanced at her again and said, "Ever heard of yin and yang? Find the other half and it completes the whole."

Mirabella had always thought there was something special about the shape of the jade but had never associated it with yin and yang. Now that he mentioned it, it did seem to fit.

"If you had the other half, the price for both together would definitely be higher than selling just one," the shopkeeper added while Mirabella was pondering.

"Not selling," Mirabella replied lazily.

The shopkeeper: "…"

Mirabella took the necklace back from him, put it back on, and then stood up, "I'm leaving."

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to just walk away, and stood up as well, "Wait a minute."

Mirabella looked at him sideways.

Seeing Mirabella's somewhat unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar gaze, the shopkeeper asked, "Have you been to my shop before?"

"Yeah, I bought a pair of night vision goggles from you last year," Mirabella replied nonchalantly.

The mention of night vision goggles changed the shopkeeper's expression slightly. After scrutinizing Mirabella for a moment, he asked another question, "Apart from that, I mean earlier, have you been here before?"

"No," Mirabella said, her gaze clear, not seeming to lie at all.

Seeing this, a touch of disappointment flickered in the shopkeeper's eyes.

That person hadn't shown up for years, and by age, it didn't match up either.

He shook his head and didn't say anything more, sitting back down.

Mirabella observed the shopkeeper's expression but chose not to say anything. She opened the glass door and left.

Her figure was as cold and silent as when she had arrived.

Mirabella: [The recipient has activated friend verification and refuses to accept any messages.]

Ever since Elliot tricked her into joining the Physics department, despite saying he wouldn't interfere, he'd been sending her loads of assignments every now and then. If she didn't submit them, a relentless barrage of reminder bombs would follow.

Could a person with a prestigious title be that idle?

She regretted it more than a thousand times.

Sighing, Mirabella put away her phone and looked up at Nick, "Bro, I'm heading to my room, you should rest early too."

Seeing her suddenly looking so dejected, Nick couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Mirabella waved her hand and while heading to the staircase, replied, "Don't ask, I've shot myself in the foot."
