The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1746

"When did this happen?" Nick asked, caught off guard by the lack of news.

"Just a couple of days ago," Grady replied, his voice heavy with exhaustion. The whirlwind of events over the past few days had left him with no time to catch a break, the weariness clearly etched on his face.

A dangerous glint appeared in Nick’s eyes. "Who attacked Chester?"

"An assassin group," Grady said.

Nick frowned. "That group has always kept a respectful distance from the Davis family. How dare they cross the line?"

"They were hired by someone. My men managed to catch one of them, but before we could get anything out of him, he took poison and died," Grady explained, rubbing his temples as if to ease the tension. "This isn't a simple case. I'm still digging into it."

Messing with the Davis family was no small affair.

Nick narrowed his eyes, making a swift decision. "I'll head back to Merrywoods tonight."

With Chester in trouble, the elders would probably jump at the chance to create chaos within the Davis family.

"What about your medical school commitments?"

Recalling the documents he’d seen earlier in the day, Nick replied, "I'll come up with an excuse to leave."

Grady considered it and nodded. The Davis family needed someone solid to keep things steady, and having Mr. Nick back would be reassuring.

"Alright, I'll make sure someone picks you up from the airport."

Nick nodded. "Oh, and Grady, about Mira..."

Grady anticipated his concern. "Don't worry. I've already arranged for someone to keep Miss Mira safe."

With that assurance, Nick felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
