The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 741

When Wyatt strolled back from his phone call, he was surprised to see that Mirabella was no longer in the living room. "Did Ms. Mirabella leave?" he asked, puzzled.

James barely glanced up from the surveillance feed on his computer before settling back into the couch without a word.

Curtis, having just heard his team's report that the scare was a false alarm, let out a sigh of relief and pinched the bridge of his nose. "All clear now," he announced.

"That's a relief," Wyatt said, visibly relaxing. "I thought we were on the brink of a disaster. Who knew Ms. Mirabella was such a computer whiz?"

He was genuinely impressed.

Turning to Curtis, Wyatt couldn't help but tease, "Hey, given Ms. Mirabella's speed and how she cracked that interference in three seconds, where do you think she'd rank on your hacker leaderboard?"

Curtis fell silent, deep in thought, before responding.

Wyatt nudged Curtis's leg with his foot, chuckling, "She’s got to be better than you, right?"

Curtis just gave him a look.

Wyatt, arms crossed, didn’t mind stirring the pot. "We owe Ms. Mirabella big time for stepping in. Not to be mean, but your world ranking at seven... seems a bit overrated. Maybe you need some extra classes?"

Curtis, expressionless, removed his earpiece and set it down on the glass coffee table with a snap, causing Wyatt to instinctively step back.

He knew a bit about the top ten, especially those ranked above him. The hackers in fourth, fifth, and sixth places were well-known programmers internationally.

But the top three were more mysterious, especially the person at number one, known simply as 'Y', whose computer skills were almost freakishly good.

The challenges on the hacker leaderboard were set by 'Y', and so far, no one had cracked them, not even those ranked second and third.

'Y' had long dominated the top spot, earning the awe of the entire hacker community, though no one knew who they were, where they were, or what they did.

Although Ms. Mirabella had shown remarkable skill today, Curtis remembered a time not so long ago when she had come across him attempting to crack one of the leaderboard challenges and had innocently asked him what the code on his screen meant.
