The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1763

"I..." The Countess stumbled back a couple of steps, then quickly turned to the butler, barking, "Why are you just standing there? Go find Ms. Mirabella, now!"

The butler, visibly shaken, nodded frantically and hurriedly instructed the staff to locate her immediately.

The atmosphere in the manor was tense, like a tightly wound spring ready to snap.

Amidst the chaos, no one noticed Asa at the back of the crowd, his demeanor calm and detached. He looked like an outsider, casually sipping his wine.

Just then, his assistant appeared quietly by his side.

"Sir, the girl's gone."

The assistant spoke in a whisper, a pitch only Asa could hear.

Asa paused mid-sip, turning his head slightly, "What do you mean?"

"According to the plan, we were supposed to extract the girl when the sniper made his move. But when we got there, the room was empty," the assistant explained, puzzled.

The door had been locked from the outside, so there was no way anyone inside could have left without help.

It was all very odd.

"Do you think our plan was leaked?" the assistant wondered aloud.

Asa narrowed his eyes, glancing over at Nick and Wyatt, who didn’t seem to be pretending. "I doubt it."

The assistant nodded in agreement, "If it had been, the Davis family wouldn’t have openly defied the manor. Rest easy, sir, I’ve got our shadow operatives searching for the girl, steering clear of the Davis family."
