The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1010

Linden turned his head, surprised by Mirabella's sudden grip on his arm, "Hey, freshman?"

As he spoke, his fingers instinctively pressed the doorbell.

"Senior, the person you were talking about, is it Meg?" Mirabella adjusted her bangs with an air of concern.

Linden nodded, "Yeah, that's right." He recalled mentioning Meg in the lab just the day before.

Noticing Mirabella's odd expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What? Do you two know each other?"

With the doorbell already rung, Mirabella sighed, thinking how small the world seemed to be sometimes.

She didn't answer because, at that moment, the lab door swung open.

It was Meg who appeared.

Seeing Linden, Meg was about to greet him, but her words caught in her throat as soon as she saw who was beside him.

Her expression shifted instantly.

What is she doing here? Isn't she just a freshman? How does she even know Linden? And if she's here with him, does she know I used her idea?

The more Meg thought about it, the more her face drained of color, her mind buzzing with panic, her fingers gripping the doorframe so tightly they might break.

Linden noticed Meg's gaze fixed on Mirabella. Meg looked pale, like she'd just seen a ghost.

Confused and not aware of any history between the two, Linden instinctively quieted his breathing, feeling the tension thick in the air.

The silence was heavy.

But she never dreamed Linden would actually know Mirabella.

Knowing her was one thing, but sharing details about a confidential experiment? That was unlikely.

But who would have thought... when he mentioned introducing a skilled classmate, it turned out to be Mirabella, the one person she wanted to steer clear of!

Meg felt a wave of frustration.

She took a deep breath, telling herself to stay composed—no matter what, this experiment had to succeed.

Loosening her grip on the doorframe, Meg turned to Linden, "I'm sorry, Linden. You might not realize it, but Mirabella and I have some personal issues. So if she's the one you brought, our research team might not be too thrilled."

Linden frowned. He didn't know the details of the conflict between Meg and Mirabella, but there was something about Meg's bluntness that rubbed him the wrong way.
