Chapter 466


    Adler fired up hisptop, clicked on the web browser, and logged into his email ount. Swiftly, he sent


    a pre–prepared encrypted file to Mirabe’s inbox. Next, he shot her a quick message on Messenger.


    [Sent the file, the password is…]


    Mirabe nced at the email notification on her screen, but didn’t bother to open it right away, instead


    she typed back. [Is it urgent?]

    Adler replied. [A bit, but no rush. Tackle it when you can.] Knowing that Mirabe was a student, Adler


    felt a tad guilty for pressing her, but he was in a pinch.


    Upon seeing his response, Mirabe simply said, [Alright.]


    Adler heaved a deep sigh, refrained from further conversation, and sent Mirabe a ‘bowing in awe‘


    emoji before putting down his phone. He hadn’t nned on enlisting Mirabe’s help with the data


    report, but the antics at the institute were absurd. Without thorough data analysis and experimentation,


    those clowns were eager to roll out a product.


    If the product was wless, great, but a single deviation in the data could turn their findings into a


    cmity. As a specialized researcher, he couldn’t risk the one–in–a–million chance of disaster.


    Meanwhile, after wrapping up the Messenger chat with Adler, Mirabe slipped her phone back into her


    pocket.


    Collins, who was driving, shifted the conversation to a more serious tone. “Heatheres from a


    heavy–hitting family background. She’s been butting heads with you and your siblingstely, especially


    after today’s live–streaming incident. I reckon your sister could get caught up in suspicion, so be extra


    careful these days. Especially you, Leo, don’t let anyone catch you off guard.”


    Leo’s lips twitched in annoyance. “Why should I be on alert if my sister is the one under suspicion?”


    “Because she’s kept a low profile, but you haven’t. If Heather sies some paparazzi on you, your sister


    could get caught in the crossfire.”


    Collins had heard about Heather’spetitive nature; many in their circle had fallen prey to her


    schemes. With a powerful family to back her, it wasn’t strange for her to wield so much influence. Leo’s


    brothers seemed to be doing well for themselves, but even they paled inparison to a well–


    established dynasty like Heather’s. So, Collins had advised Mirabe to steer clear of Heather, not


    wanting a reality show to stir up needless trouble for her.


    Upon hearing this, Leo fell silent, all too aware of the industry’s dark underbelly. His reluctance to have


    his sister more involved was simply to protect her from online scrutiny and criticism.


    After some thought, Leo suggested, “Maybe I’ll move back to my private residence for a while.”


    Mirabe nced at her brother, recalling the paparazzi they had encountered near his vi, and


    remarked, “That might just draw more attention.”


    Leo looked at her and touched his nose. “My ce is secluded, and nobody knows it.”


    Mirabe raised an eyebrow, clearly thinking him na?ve, and said calmly, “Don’t be silly, just stay put at


    home.”


    Leo was speechless.


    Collins, observing the sibling dynamic from the front seat, couldn’t help but facepalm. The fans‘


    perception was spot on. The ‘Little Princess Leo‘ moniker was apt. This was hardly the typical oler


    brother–younger sister dynamic. It was as if their roles were reversed.
