The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1334

Brack gave Spencer a quick glance, "I've heard there's something fishy about Ben."

Dr. Ray's brow furrowed slightly at this. "So, Brack, have you sent someone to nab him?"

"Do you think I'd be dumb enough to spook him?" Brack chuckled softly. "A senior researcher who's been with the institute for seven or eight years? You think he's got no one backing him?"

"So what's your move now?" Dr. Ray asked, turning to him.

Brack settled into the couch, "Has he shown up at the institute yet?"

"I'll find out." Dr. Ray walked over to make a call on the direct line.

Brack nodded in response.

Swanson, observing from the sidelines, thought for a moment before sitting across from Brack. "Brack, with these new developments, shouldn't we let Adler go?"

Brack's eyelids twitched a bit. "Why rush? We haven't caught Nick yet, and there's still a lot to verify."

"Honestly, Nick's out of the country right now," Swanson repeated what he'd told Spencer earlier. "I can't spill the beans about the international project—it's top secret."

"How convenient, leaving right now?" Brack was never one to buy into coincidences.

Swanson offered a calm smile and handed Brack a paper from his document bag. "Here's a travel log. You can check it in the system."

"Why would an accomplice wreck something he worked so hard on?" Manuel began, then suddenly paused.

He remembered that after the drugs were destroyed, Ben's reaction wasn't as upset as his or the other professors'. When the computer data was reported lost, Ben quickly produced a handwritten version.

He had noticed some discrepancies in the data compared to the original but was more focused on recreating the drug, so he didn't dwell on it.

Later, thanks to that manuscript, the new drug was recreated pretty easily, and it was Ben who suggested testing it on humans right away. But this new drug was quite different from what they originally developed.

The more Manuel thought about it, the darker his expression grew.
