The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1536

"Getting an article selected for the SCI speaks volumes about its potential, something you, Zane, must be more aware of than anyone else," Calvin said, his voice steady and unhurried.

Zane glared at Calvin, "How much did the Academy of Sciences offer you to make life difficult for a student at every turn?"

It was either blackmail with patents or coercion with papers... Zane had come to fully understand that once certain desires were awakened, there was no stopping them.

What he thought of as concessions only led to the other party's further encroachment.

Calvin didn't care about Zane's fury or even deem it necessary to answer his question, "Just like patents, retracting a paper is only a phone call away."

Hearing this, Zane felt as if a huge boulder was pressing against his chest, making it hard even to breathe.

He had no choice.

Soon after, Calvin left Zane's office with a slight smile on his lips, indicating his good mood.

Once downstairs, he returned a call to Hank, "...the matter has been taken care of."

Hank wasn't surprised by the news, showing that this wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred.

"Good, it just so happens that the head of DO Group will be visiting in a couple of days. I heard they sent some materials to a teacher in your department before. Have that teacher prepare a document," Hank instructed after a moment's thought.

Calvin, having Zane completely under his control, agreed readily, "Sure, no problem."

"Alright, then I'll be waiting for your good news," Hank said before hanging up.

Calvin pocketed his phone and turned back, making another trip to Zane's office.

Meanwhile, Hank sat in contemplation for a while before opening his laptop to send an email to DO Group to arrange a specific meeting time.

Mirabella had only skimmed through a couple of pages. The difficulty level was manageable, so after a moment's thought, she replied, "It was okay, not too esoteric."

Not too esoteric?

Robert suddenly felt a complex mix of emotions. Was this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?

"Dr. Elliot's other students, your senior classmates, aren't even at the level to tackle that problem book," Robert remarked.

Hearing this, Mirabella's heart skipped a beat.

Then came Robert's voice, tinged with melancholy: "Mirabella, I think you should consider transferring to our Physics Department. Honestly, the Biology Department doesn't have as much potential as Physics."

Mirabella: "..."
