The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 975

Calvin strolled into Mr. Belcher's office, finding Wade already there, deep in conversation about their latest research.

These two were big shots at the institute, both holding positions as researchers for a national organization, though their work took them down slightly different paths.

"Mr. Belcher, here are the documents you asked for." Calvin, cradling a stack of papers, gently placed them on the desk.

Mr. Belcher, at sixty-five, wore his wrinkles lightly, maintaining a stern and commanding presence, a stark contrast to Wade’s laid-back demeanor. His air of authority was unmistakable.

He nodded, signaling Calvin to leave.

Just as Calvin was about to step out, Mr. Belcher recalled something and called him back.

"I heard some of your research data got leaked?" Mr. Belcher’s brows knit together in concern. "How could you be so careless? Have you figured out who did it?"

Calvin's palms grew clammy at the mention of the leak. It was a serious issue. He glanced from Mr. Belcher to Wade and back. "I’m sorry, it was my oversight. We haven't identified the culprit yet."

Calvin might have spilled the beans about Zane if Wade hadn’t been in the room. But today wasn’t the day for that...

With no hard proof, Calvin had to bite his tongue.

He couldn't afford to cross Wade either.

"You've really dropped the ball here," Mr. Belcher didn't hold back.

Calvin hung his head, taking the reprimand without a word.
