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

Over here, Mirabella glanced at her phone and sent a quick "Okay."

Nearby, Blaze and the gang were still tossing around ideas about where to go for some sightseeing tomorrow, taking a breather in the conference hall.

Mirabella listened for a while, then tilted her head slightly and chimed in, "You folks aren't too familiar with this area. How about I ask my uncle to set you up with a guide?"

Patrick, remembering the intimidating vibe of Mira's uncle and his crew, quickly waved it off, "Oh, no need to trouble yourselves, we can sort it out on our own!"

Blaze, on the other hand, seemed puzzled and said, "I think having a local guide sounds pretty good."

Patrick nudged Blaze with his foot and coughed, "We shouldn't impose too much..."

Before he could finish, Mirabella interrupted, already tapping away on her phone, "It's no hassle at all. I'll let my uncle know right now."

Patrick watched in disbelief as Mirabella typed away: "!!!"

Soon enough, Mirabella looked up, "All set."

Patrick sighed, "... Thanks, Mira."

"No worries," Mirabella grinned, "Happy to help."

Patrick: "."

Just then, Robert came back from the administrative office of Riverside University. He'd gone to check if they'd figured out who messed with their video earlier that morning, but the professors were all so swamped, they couldn't spare a minute for him.

"So, nothing on this morning's incident?" Blaze frowned.

"They're probably too tied up with other stuff," Robert replied, not sounding too miffed, just lowering his voice a bit, "The lab had some kind of incident, and they haven't got time for our little issue."

"The lab had an incident?" Patrick was taken aback.

Robert nodded, "Yeah, the cops are involved, and they've closed off several campus gates. Seems pretty serious."

"Why shut the gates?" Blaze zeroed in on this.

"Probably trying to catch someone," Robert guessed. Though he hadn't caught any gossip, he could pieceit together. Labs don't just have incidents for no reason; it's likely sabotage. Whoever dared to stir up trouble in a school lab must have some serious guts.

"I'm more worried about whether the afternoon.conference will wrap up early. There's too many high-flyers here; folks like me don't stand a chance," Mirabella said, lazilytwirling her phone, looking all laid-back.

Robert's lips twitched: "...Is this real-life humblebragging?"

After the conference wrapped up in the afternoon, the previously closed campus gates swung open. However, each entrance now had two uniformed special officers standing guard.

Mirabella watched from afar, her expression steady. With Grady personally at the school, she wasn't sweating it, knowing he had everything under control.noveldrama

Before long, they all left the campus together.

Just as they were heading out, Joen, finally catching up with reality, remembered some unfinished business from noon. He checked the time and called his assistant into the office, "Is the conference over?"

The assistant, eyeing Joen warily, answered, "It should be done."

Joen furrowed his brow, "Check if the students from Prestige College have left. If

they're still around, ask them to hang tight for a bit."
