The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 976

Mr. Belcher was caught off guard. "An external consultant?"

"Yep, you know him—Ben," Wade said with a grin.

"No way, him?" Mr. Belcher couldn't believe it. "He'd join a student research group?"

At just twenty-five, Ben was already a senior researcher at the National Institute for Life Sciences. He was incredibly independent and unique, rarely making public appearances unless it was for special research projects.

"Maybe he's just really into this research," Wade shrugged. "His expertise is exactly what those students need."

"Alright then," Mr. Belcher nodded, then glanced at the documents Calvin had just brought over. He looked up at Calvin. "Did you get the research proposal and funding application from the informatics department?"

Calvin's heart skipped a beat. "I got it... but I forgot to bring it up."

Mr. Belcher frowned slightly. "Go and get it."

Calvin wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodding quickly. "I'll get it right now."

With that, he hurried out of the office.

Wade shook his head at the scene. He didn't say much more to Mr. Belcher, just stood up and said, "I need to head back to the institute, Mr. Belcher. You take care."

"Sure, take care," Mr. Belcher replied, standing up to see him off.
