The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1359

Just then, Mirabella's phone buzzed in her pocket. Not wanting to wake David, she gave Devon a quick nod and slipped out of the room to take the call.

Outside, she answered, "Hey, where are you?" came James's cool voice.

Mirabella glanced casually at the potted plants lining the hallway. "I'm handling a few things at David's."

James, recalling Wyatt's recent worries about some pharmaceutical issues, didn't press further. "When do you think you'll be done?"

"Pretty soon. Did you need something?" Mirabella asked.

"Yeah, we've got a lead on that person behind the drugs."

Mirabella's eyes narrowed. "Is it that 'Cian' you mentioned?"

James replied, "Probably. We can talk more once you're finished."

"Alright, I'll swing by later."

"Sounds good."

Mirabella ended the call, her brow furrowed for a moment before she tucked her phone away and headed back to David's room.

Inside, David was still asleep. Mirabella checked on him and said to Devon, "I won't bother David now. I'll come by tomorrow to try some acupuncture."

Her current needles weren't right for David's condition.

Devon, unsure about Mirabella's medical skills, trusted she wouldn't risk her mentor's health. "Alright, I'll be here."

She'd planned to investigate through The Mirror but got sidetracked by Nick's situation. If James hadn't mentioned it, it might have slipped her mind.

James took her hand, noting it felt warmer than the previous day. As he guided her to a seat beside him, he explained, "This person might be linked to an overseas ops group, last spotted in Riverdale."

Mirabella let James hold her hand and raised an eyebrow. "So, they're in Riverdale now?"

"Not sure. They were supposed to be there three days ago, but who knows if they've moved on," Curtis chimed in, sounding a bit frustrated.

That someone could evade him in Riverdale hinted at their skill.

"Three days ago?" Mirabella's eyes narrowed. "So, we can't track them now?"

She suspected this person was a fake, using 'Cian's' name, and the situation was likely more tangled than it appeared.
