The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 987

Mirabella arched an eyebrow and looked directly at Carter, the leader of the group. He had the strong presence typical of a soldier, but right now, his demeanor felt more hostile than anything else.

Mirabella gave him a once-over, then nodded slightly as she said, “Oh, so after I solve your problem, you’re planning to lock me up, huh?”

Carter's eyes focused on her face. It was surprising to see someone so young handle a cyber issue so effectively. Despite her appearance, which was no different from any other young woman, there was a subtle air of confidence about her that didn’t go unnoticed.

She clearly wasn’t intimidated by him.

Carter narrowed his eyes and smirked. With a no-nonsense tone, he said, “I think you've got it wrong. We’re not here to lock you up; we’re here to make sure you stay safe for a while. You wouldn’t want any trouble, right?”

“Ms. Mirabella’s safety is our responsibility at James Corporation,” Curtis stepped in front of Mirabella, his voice cold.

“Mr. Curtis, this is the Department of Homeland Security. Interfering with our duty compromises our relationship. Why make it difficult?” Carter didn’t want to hear anymore. He gestured towards Mirabella, his voice firm, “Ms. Mirabella, please come with us.”

Curtis narrowed his eyes and took a small step forward.

Before he could do anything else, Mirabella patted his shoulder, stepping forward without much concern. She said to Curtis, “It’s fine. As a citizen, I should have the right to be protected.”

Curtis's face twitched, his eyes showing a mix of emotions. Finally, he nodded and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, Ms. Mirabella. James will be here soon.”

He put extra emphasis on the name James, clearly hinting at something.

Carter noticed and inwardly scoffed, thinking they were overly confident.

Mirabella waved at Curtis, following Carter. Her voice floated back, “Don’t forget to remind him to add a compensation for emotional distress.”
