The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1896

The radio signals seemed to be working just fine, but for some reason, reaching the elders in the community was impossible. This was... unusual.

Mirabella's eyes narrowed. In their community, only she and Nellie had the ability to control the satellite network, besides Cassie. But Cassie was just a kid, and his tech skills weren't advanced enough to pull off a remote shutdown.

As she mulled it over, her phone buzzed in her hand. A call was coming through.

Mirabella put away the virtual keyboard and eyed the caller ID for a couple of seconds before answering. "Nellie."

"Where are you right now?" Nellie's voice was urgent, finally breaking through the static. "Did you head back to the village?"

"Yeah, I just got to Peace Haven," Mirabella replied, like she was expecting the question. "I've got some things to deal with."

Remembering Mirabella had taken the obsidian, Nellie cut straight to the chase, "What things?"

Instead of answering, Mirabella asked casually, "Did you mess with the radio signal in the village?"

"Uh, what signal issue?" Nellie seemed puzzled. "Everything was fine when I left."

Hearing this, a suspicion that had been simmering in Mirabella's mind started to take shape. Her eyes darkened momentarily before she said, "Just a minor glitch."

Nellie sensed that Mirabella wasn't one to ask random questions and was about to dig deeper when Mirabella spoke again.

"By the way, do you know Maverick?" Mirabella asked.

"Maverick?" Nellie let the previous topic drop. The name didn’t ring a bell. "No, who is he?"

"He's the president of the Riverdale Archaeological Society," Mirabella said, her tone steady.
