The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 273
Mirabella strolled leisurely into the exhibition hall, taking her time as she
wandered through the displays. Of course, due to the museum's strict policies, all
the artifacts and treasures were secured behind special counters, safely
ensconced under glass made of a unique material. Visitors were only allowed to
admire the pieces from a distance of one meter.
The exhibition spanned two floors. On the ground level, artifacts dating from the
15th century to the late 19th century were showcased, and their value was
beyond any conceivable estimate.
After perusing the first floor without finding what she had come to see, Mirabella
made her way to the second floor. The second-floor collection was even more
illustrious, with items so precious they could easily be deemed world—class
treasures. The security here was tighter. than downstairs, with surveillance that
left no corner unchecked.
Standing at the foot of the stairs, Mirabella casually adjusted the brim of her
baseball cap as if by accident, then sidestepped towards a wall niche. She then
slipped out a pair of seemingly ordinary glasses and put them on. Instantly, her
vision was filled with a dense grid of infrared beams surrounding the rare
exhibits. To trigger one would sound the alarm, and some of these. security
measures were even potentially lethal. The designated pathways, set a meter
from the displays, were the only safe zones.
Mirabella smirked, tilting her cap even further, and took a quick glance around
the second-floor gallery. Less than a minute later, she removed the glasses and
tucked them away.
At the center of the exhibition, under the most advanced security apparatus, lay
an emrald. pendant adorned with an intricate pattern. Its splendor was enhanced
by the focused lighting of the display case. The emerald was practically flawless.
Its lifelike carvings were a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. Mirabella's
eyes sparkled with admiration. “Truly a stunning piece,” she murmured.
The second-floor gallery had other visitors apart from Mirabella, including a small
group of onlookers and two people who stood with their arms crossed, seemingly
engrossed in a conversation about the emerald — all in unknown language.
Meanwhile, Curtis emerged from the control room backstage and entered the
first-floor exhibition through an internal passage. His sharp gaze swept over the
visitors. Detecting nothing amiss, he slowly made his way upstairs.
His glossy dress shoes made a soft clack against the stairs. He was clad in a
dark suit, and his aura was undeniably foreboding. Soon, he reached the top of
the staircase and stood poised at the landing.
Through his earpiece, his team reported no unusual activity. His gaze first settled
on the pendant display at the center of the hall before shifting to the crowd who
was admiring it.
Mirabella glanced at her wristwatch and, seeing the time, decided to head to the
restroom. She had only taken a few steps when she felt a piercing gaze sweep
over her. Voices from downstairs suggested a security check was underway.
