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

Chapter 1639

The assistant initially thought Joen was still worried about Summer, so he nodded and pulled out his phone. "I'll call the registrar's office to check with the professor."

Joen rubbed his temples, trying to piece together the day's events in his clearer mind. Over fifty pieces of equipment had been destroyed, the surveillance footage was unrecoverable, and whoever was behind this seemed to be taunting them openly. The complete absence of any clues made it clear that this wasn't just an inside job by a professor.

No professor on the inside could have covered their tracks so perfectly.

The assistant ended the call, snapping Joen back to the present. "Doctor, they said those students have already left."

Hearing this made Joen's temples throb even more. He'd hoped to get data from that girl, but now it seemed... today was turning out to be a real downer. Once she left the campus, the opportunity for testing was gone, especially since she was likely tied to the Davis family.
