The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1252

Nick's hand froze on his headset when he heard the voice, and in an instant, he went on high alert. "Who are you?"

The voice was so mechanical that it was impossible to tell if it belonged to a man or a woman. Clearly, it was altered by a voice changer.

Atlas wouldn't use something like that, so whoever was on the other end definitely wasn't one of his own.

Nick's expression darkened even more.

"The interference with the surveillance will be lifted in four minutes and fifty seconds," the voice stated again, cold and robotic, without answering his question.

Nick's brow remained furrowed, his voice low and edged with menace, "Who exactly are you? Friend or foe?"

Mirabella, meanwhile, seemed unfazed by the tension in Nick's voice. Her sharp eyes remained glued to the computer screen, which displayed feeds from the entire research institute, all appearing normal under the cameras' watchful gaze.

Leaning back in her chair with a laid-back air, Mirabella finally broke the silence, "Just someone who likes to meddle."

Nick squinted, his mind racing.
