The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1285

Before long, Wyatt returned.

He didn’t bother with formalities, even with Mirabella still in the room, and went straight to James, "Someone did enter the treasure room, but weirdly, nothing seems to be missing."

Wyatt was clearly frustrated, especially kicking himself for not checking the room the first time he went up. He might have nabbed the intruder by now.

James squinted and asked, "Did they mess with anything?"

"Doesn't look like it," Wyatt shook his head, thinking aloud, "Maybe they ran out of time and bailed?"

Curtis shot Wyatt a skeptical look, "Ever heard of a thief who just walks away empty-handed?"

Even if they were in a rush, pocketing something should've been a breeze.

“True, but I went over everything with a fine-tooth comb. Nothing’s missing, and the room was empty,” Wyatt said, running his hand through his hair, speaking quickly.

Curtis rubbed his temples, pondering that the only way into the treasure room was through the main door, which meant being caught on camera.

Turning to Mirabella, he asked, "Hey, Ms. Mirabella, think you can restore the security footage?"

Despite the live feed being jammed, the cameras should’ve recorded everything.

“Not being able to restore the footage isn’t the end of the story, Curtis. Remember the glow powder we sprinkled on the treasure room’s carpet? The intruder’s shoes must have picked up some of it. We just need to trace the glow powder, and we’ll find them,” Wyatt said, lifting his chin confidently.

Mirabella glanced at Wyatt, curious, “What’s glow powder?”

“It’s a chemical powder that glows in the dark and is tough to wash off,” Wyatt explained simply, “Lucky for us, the intruder left traces.”

Wyatt chuckled and turned back to Curtis, “Stick to the plan when the auction wraps up.”

Curtis nodded, deciding not to push for the footage anymore. He quickly instructed his team to gear up.
