The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1197

When Zane heard Calvin suddenly stand up and critique his student like that, he couldn't help but frown. Still, with folks from the Tech Institute around, he had to swallow his irritation at Calvin's comments.

Hank casually tossed the proposal onto a nearby table, suggesting, "Let's start by loading the system framework into the computer, then we can dive into further testing." He pointed towards the main computer.

"Got it," Calvin said, turning to Zane with a nod, as if he was the main conductor of this whole operation.

"Man, Mr. Calvin's got some nerve, waltzing in here and acting like he's the boss," Jessie couldn't help but gripe to Linden and the others in a low voice.

"And that proposal? It was solid! Just to suck up to the Tech Institute, they're calling it shoddy. I swear, Mr. Calvin must be a mole from another lab, talking trash about our school's work like that!" Kason was fuming.

Even if their proposal hadn't hit the mark, it didn't warrant belittling their own team in front of others. It felt like a slap in the face to their school.

"Let it go, don't waste your energy," Linden said calmly. "Mr. Calvin's just that kind of petty guy, always looking to put others down. Let's focus on what matters."

Standing far enough from Calvin's group, they weren't too worried about being overheard. Meanwhile, Mirabella stayed quiet, her eyes glued to the large crystal screen nearby, lost in thought.

After a while, she asked Linden, "Hey, did we sign any cooperation contracts with the Tech Institute for this project?"

Linden, puzzled by her sudden question, replied, "Not sure, but it seems like we haven't."

Mirabella nodded, "Gotcha."

"What's on your mind?" Linden sensed there was more to her question.
