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

Owen shook his head, "She's a friend of my mom's kid, but she's not from the Pharmacists' Guild."

"If she was from the Pharmacists' Guild, the Reeves family's eldest son would have recognized Mirabella, and there wouldn't have been any trouble."

"Alright, I thought she was with the Guild." Frank set down his coffee cup. "She looks pretty young. Still in school?"

"Yeah, she's this year's valedictorian, a rising star at Prestige College," Owen said with pride.

"Wow, that's impressive," Frank said, clearly surprised.

Owen smiled, "Yeah, she's really something."

Frank's expression turned thoughtful. No wonder his student trusted that young lady so much; she was clearly capable.

Out of the blue, Frank turned to Owen and said, "You know, Emmitt, you're not getting any younger. Why haven't you found a girlfriend yet?"

Owen's smile froze instantly: "What?!"

Where did that come from?

The next day, Owen had a private doctor collect a blood sample from Frank. He packed it in a special container and sent Johnny to deliver it to Mirabella.

Mirabella didn't have the equipment for blood analysis at home, but she knew the school lab would. So, she went to find Zane.

Ever since that weird data success on his computer a few days ago, Zane had been puzzled about why it had worked. When he saw Mirabella, a bold idea popped into his head.

"... You tweaked the script data on my computer that day, didn't you?" Zane asked, his eyes fixed on Mirabella, trying to catch any sign of reaction.

"What script data?" Mirabella's eyes were clear and innocent.

Seeing her genuine confusion, Zane grew even more puzzled but decided to drop it. "Right, you were asking about the science building. Wondering if all biology students could get in, right?"

Mirabella nodded.

"You can get in, but you have to apply first. Normally, students can't use labs from other departments. But for special cases, the rules are a bit relaxed. If you really need to run an experiment, it's allowed."

Zane explained thoroughly, then paused and looked at Mirabella, "Why the sudden interest? Planning to do some experiments?"

Mirabella thought for a second, then said, "Not really an experiment. I just need to study a blood sample."

Zane was a bit taken aback. Usually, people who study blood samples have some medical background.

"Can I apply to use the equipment, Professor?" Mirabella asked.

After a moment of thought, Zane said, "Let me call a teacher from the biology department."

Mirabella thanked him.

Zane stepped aside to make the call. After a brief conversation, he came back. "When do you need it?"

"I can do it now," Mirabella replied.noveldrama

Soon, Zane finished the call and looked at Mirabella. "I spoke to the teacher. I'll write you a permit. You can take it to the lab; there's a duty teacher there."

"Thank you, Professor," Mirabella nodded.

Zane smiled, "No problem."

He turned to his computer, printed out a permit, signed it, and handed it to Mirabella. "You're all set."
