The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1065

Sam repeated what he was saying before the call interrupted him, “I need you to train a few people for me.”

James, casually spinning his phone between his fingers, replied with a light tone, “Oh, I can't, I'm busy.”

Sam: “...”

So, he can find time for a date, yet he's too busy for his uncle? Double standards shouldn’t work like this, right?

James conveniently ignored the look on his uncle's face, glanced at the time, and stood up, “You’re busy, I’ll get going.”

Watching his nephew leave so abruptly, Sam's face was a picture of disbelief: “...”

Yeah, sure, as if.

As soon as James left the office, he bumped into the law enforcement folks. The captain of the team instinctively paused when he saw James, about to say hello, but James walked by without even a glance.

The captain's expression stiffened for a moment but quickly relaxed.

Carter, following behind, was clenching his fists so tightly his knuckles were white. Only when James was far enough away did he speak up, “That’s way too cocky.”

The captain gave him a sideways look, “Looks like last time didn’t teach you anything.”

Carter bit his lip, too afraid to reply.

The captain shook his head, speaking with a hint of knowing, “Some things take time. What’s the hurry?”

With that, he knocked on Sam’s office door.

Carter took a deep breath, trying to keep his frustration in check. Yeah, time would tell, there’d be a chance to settle the score.

Without the race video, you’d think last night’s female racer just appeared out of thin air.

James squinted slightly, “Maybe they don’t want to be found.”

Curtis nodded, “Seems like it. I asked the track staff, someone did rent the track last night, but they left no clues.”

“Then let it be,” James said, sounding indifferent.

“Sure, but if we give the footage to Ms. Mirabella, she might be able to recover it,” Curtis mentioned.

Talking about recovering footage made Curtis feel a bit down. Are hackers everywhere now? It’s like you can’t avoid them.

Ms. Mirabella’s skills were something he had to accept, but now running into a situation where he couldn’t recover surveillance was... well, it was hard not to feel a bit outmatched.
