The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 992

In the quiet room, there was a sense of peaceful harmony.

Mirabella sat lazily in a chair, looking completely unharmed. On the other hand, Carter, who had been all arrogant and violent just moments ago, now huddled in a corner, his arms and legs tied up with a long whip. Despite his pale complexion, he didn’t seem to have any external injuries.

The spectators, expecting a bloody scene, were left scratching their heads.

After a brief moment of shock, James walked over to Mirabella. His open coat brought in a gust of cold air as he pulled her up from the chair, checking her over to make sure she was okay. Only then did he close his eyes, though the murderous intent in his gaze didn’t wane one bit.

This wasn’t your run-of-the-mill interrogation room. People who ended up in here were either extremists, foreign spies, or internal traitors. Their fates usually involved death or something even more agonizing.

"I'm sorry you had to go through this," James said, his voice hoarse, his usually stern demeanor softened.

Mirabella gave a light smile and shook her head. "It's fine. Just had to sit for a bit."

James’s eyes darkened, but he simply raised his hand to touch her head before turning on Carter, who was cowering in the corner. In an instant, he grabbed Carter by the neck, lifted him off the ground, and slammed him against the wall. His eyes, cold as ice, bore into Carter. "You dared to touch what's mine?"

Carter, arms and legs bound and throat tightly gripped by James, couldn’t utter a word. Fear filled his eyes, and as James’s grip tightened, he felt his neck might snap at any second.

The specter of death loomed over him once more.

Finally, the team captain snapped out of it and hurried over. "James, this is all a misunderstanding. Your friend is fine now; let's let Carter go."

James's lips curled into a cold smile as he glanced at the captain. "A misunderstanding? Bringing someone here is a misunderstanding?"
