The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1617

"Ha!" Grady couldn’t help but chuckle. If anyone was going to stir up drama, it was definitely Grady. He seemed to think the whole situation needed a bit more spice.

Meanwhile, Summer stood there, pale and completely stunned. From the moment Professor Joen spoke with such reverence, she was floored. She didn’t really get the whole Merrywoods power thing, but she knew Joen. He was a big shot researcher, a scientist with international acclaim. The thought of someone so respected speaking with that kind of deference...

Not only did he use that tone, but he also quickly distanced himself from her, his student, as if acknowledging her could bring trouble. Summer had thought having Professor Joen in her corner would make the Davis family back off. Never in her wildest dreams did she think it’d be her professor backing off when faced with the Davis family.

The Davis family, the Davis family... What kind of clout did they have?

Summer’s mind was buzzing, and she clenched her hands tightly on the carpet. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and quickly addressed the direction where Grady stood. "Professor, are you planning to abandon your research?"

Grady still held the phone, and Joen hesitated for a moment on the other end when he heard Summer’s words. The Davis family wasn’t a group to mess with, but if they really wanted to protect someone, it wasn’t out of the question.

Just then, Summer gritted her teeth and added, "Professor, don’t forget, today’s mess started because of someone!"

Joen furrowed his brow, pondering the meaning behind Summer’s words. After a brief pause, his eyes widened as if he’d figured something out. The Davis family, with that last name... Right, the special person Summer had mentioned also had that last name.
