The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1238

Calvin's voice came out sharp and accusatory, like he was launching right into an attack. Mirabella shot him a sideways glance, her gaze cool and detached, clearly not interested in engaging with his outburst.

Seeing this, Calvin shook his head, exasperated. "Do you really think signing a partnership agreement gives you free rein to do whatever you please? This is the Tech Institute, not Prestige College. Do you have any clue about the consequences of rubbing someone the wrong way here?"

"Mr. Calvin," Dr. King chimed in, clearly disapproving of Calvin's harsh tone towards his student.

Calvin glanced at Dr. King. "You don't understand... but never mind, I'm too tired to spell it out."

With that, he turned on his heel and left, not sparing Mirabella a second look.

The air was thick with awkwardness. Dr. King, noticing Mirabella didn’t seem the reckless type, cleared his throat and offered a short explanation. "Hank looked pretty upset when he came by earlier."

Mirabella's lips curled slightly. "So, because he's in a mood, he needs someone to vent on?"

Noticing the chill in her tone, Dr. King added, "There must be some misunderstanding. Don't let it bother you. Now that the agreement is signed, let's head back to the university."

"I'm good, I'll catch a ride with a friend later," Mirabella replied nonchalantly.

Dr. King paused, surprised. "A friend? Here at the Tech Institute?"

Mirabella nodded slightly, offering no further details.

Dr. King, skilled at reading people, had sensed from their first meeting that Mirabella had a presence about her—a calm confidence that set her apart from the typical student.

He decided not to press further. "Alright then, take care."
