The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 969

Mirabella felt another pair of eyes on her from inside the car. She glanced up and could barely make out a shadowy figure in the passenger seat, their features indistinguishable.

Whoever it was, they were definitely the source of the gaze.

Quickly, she shifted her eyes away and gave a polite shake of her head. "No worries, Wade. You go ahead."

Wade nodded, not pushing it. He waved at Mirabella before the windows rolled up, blocking their view of each other, and the car slowly pulled away.

Before long, Mirabella's silhouette disappeared from the rearview mirror.

"Was that one of your students?" The man in the passenger seat asked, absentmindedly fiddling with a black ring on his finger.

Wade, gripping the steering wheel, nodded. "Yeah, she’s a great kid. Top of this year’s finals."

The man looked genuinely impressed. "That's something."

"Yep," Wade smiled, glancing at him. "She’s a real gem."

He considered mentioning that she might join the synthetic life research team but thought better of it since nothing was confirmed and decided to keep it to himself.

Ben's eyes drifted to the scenery outside, his expression shifting with the passing light and shadows.

Definitely a gem—surrounded by hidden talents and formidable minds.

That evening, after dinner, Mirabella was still deep in conversation with Adler on her phone, taking her time before heading home. Papers scattered across the coffee table were filled with data and equations.
