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

Nikolai caught a smile on Mirabella's face and was momentarily taken aback.

It was an odd smile.

Mirabella glanced past Nikolai, leisurely picked up her coffee cup, and took a sip without asking much about the Stevenson family. "So, what does Presley want?"

Nikolai didn't expect Mirabella to see through the situation so quickly; he gave a wry smile before responding, "A prescription."

Mirabella's face didn't show surprise upon hearing this; she had already guessed as much.

"It's a family misfortune," Nikolai continued. "My brother Dane... he's currently working for Presley, and Presley is not a kind soul."

In truth, Nikolai didn't know Presley well, having met him only once or twice. But from the matter of the prescription, he could roughly tell what kind of person Presley was.

Mirabella's gaze was serene. "I know." After pondering for a moment, she looked up at Nikolai. "If I'm not wrong, the news of James's recurring illness was also spread by Presley, right?"

At this point, Nikolai had nothing to hide. "Yes."

Mirabella nodded. She had heard from Wyatt about James's secretive illness, and it seemed to be closely related to Presley.noveldrama

Only someone deeply familiar with James's condition and knowledgeable about pharmacology could silently draw out his hidden illness.

As for the person behind Presley... Mirabella narrowed her eyes, indicating a bit of curiosity.

Nikolai observed Mirabella, seeing her serious expression but unable to discern her thoughts. After hesitating for a while, he spoke again, "Now, only the Stevenson family's medicine can save James, Mirabella..."

Mirabella collected her thoughts and said, "Put it this way, if Presley truly knew someone from the Stevenson family, he wouldn't covet my prescription."

Nikolai was taken aback. He had been anxious about the prescription from last night until now, never considering that if Presley truly had access to the medicine or knew someone from the Stevenson family, why would he go to such lengths to scheme for Mirabella's prescription.

This was indeed contradictory.

"But regardless, James's health..." Nikolai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, when the door of the private room was pushed open, and a waiter came in to serve the dishes.

Immediately, Nikolai stopped speaking.

After the waiter left, Mirabella, as if she had already understood Nikolai's

CS, picked up a fork a

"When

do you plan to go and said,

Nikolai?"

Nikolai was puzzled by Mirabella's sudden question. "Not so soon."

Mirabella took a bite of her steak and added, "You don't need to worry about James's health. I'll find a solution. You should go back sooner."

Nikolai didn't start eating; his eyes fixed on Mirabella, he just gave a bitter smile and shook his head How could he not understand the implication of her words?

Now that Dane had chosen to stand with Presley, how could he leave with peace of mind?

He couldn't bear to see Dane sink deeper into trouble.

After dinner, Mirabella returned to the university.

Just as she arrived at the classroom, Zane sent her a message asking her to come to his office.

"Professor, you wanted to see me?" Soon after, Mirabella knocked on the office door.

Zane looked up at the entrance, waved her in, then turned his laptop around so the screen faced Mirabella. "Come, take a look at this email."

Mirabella stepped closer, raised an eyebrow at Zane, and then turned her attention to the laptop screen. "What email?"
