The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1041

"Hey, Mira," Atlas nodded slightly, keeping his voice low. "I didn't spill the beans about yesterday."

Mirabella's cheeks twitched a bit, and after a moment, she said, "No worries."

Atlas scratched his head, "Oh, and by the way, Mira, we've tracked down the guy behind the scenes who messed with Zach."

He briefly mentioned that Carl had been taken into custody.

Mirabella wasn't surprised at all; she just nodded slightly.

Atlas watched Mirabella carefully, noticing her calm demeanor, as if she already knew. It made him pause for a second.

Ignoring Atlas’s gaze, Mirabella suddenly remembered something and asked, "Since they caught the guy, Zach's workers' comp is still on, right?"

Atlas was flabbergasted: "???"

Mirabella seriously went over the compensation details with Atlas before heading back to the hospital room.

Zach was still awake. Even though his hearing wasn’t the best, he caught the word "compensation." So, when Mirabella walked in, he glared at her.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow and sat back down, "A hefty payout just shows how valuable you are."

Zach, thinking it meant 'glad you're still worth some cash,' just glared at her harder, silently pleading for her not to justify her money-minded thinking!

Mirabella cleared her throat, pulled out her phone, opened Messenger, and sent a message, "Can you snag a sample of that new analysis solution from the med school?"

Adler, who had just arrived at the research institute, heard his custom ringtone and grinned, quickly grabbing his phone.

After discussing some official business, Adler casually asked, "Hey, chief, didn’t the med school roll out a new analysis solution? How about we try to get some?"

The chief paused, pen in hand, and glanced at Adler, "You've got your ear to the ground, don’t you?"

Adler chuckled, "Their lab's too flashy; you can't help but notice."

"This stuff isn’t really useful for our work, and the med school doesn’t have much of it. Just stick to what you’re doing," the chief said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Adler didn’t push further, stood up, and said, "Alright, I’ll get back to it."

"Sure," the chief replied, but as Adler was about to leave, he remembered something, "By the way, Adler, you're not working with radioactive materials, are you?"
