The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 252

"Hey, what's the buzz?" Wade leaned back in his chair, curiosity piqued by Mr. Hammond's mention of someone turning in their test early.

Mr. Hammond snapped out of his daze and chuckled at Wade, shaking his head. "It's that student from our school, Mirabella. Anthony says she's already handed in her test."

Wade raised an eyebrow in surprise, then glanced at his watch. "This test isn't a walk in the park. She finished in just over two hours?"

Stowing his phone away, Mr. Hammond settled back into his seat, his tone nonchalant. "Yeah, can you believe it? Is the girl a prodigy or what?"

Wade shot him a look. Wasn't this just plain old bragging?

"How about we invite the young lady over to my department after the finals tomorrow?" Wade stroked his chin thoughtfully. He had been keeping tabs on Mirabella and was well aware of her academic standing. So the idea of her turning in her test early due to difficulty never crossed his mind.

Mr. Hammond's pride was palpable as he lifted his chin. "I'll have to ask her first. Once her final scores are out, I bet several departments from Prestige College will be vying for her."

He paused, then continued, "Besides, her grasp of physics is exceptional. Remember the problem from last year's Physics Olympiad that only one student could solve? She cracked it in one night—and with a simpler method."

Unsaid was the implication. "Your biology department shouldn't poach a physics prodigy."

Wade's face registered shock again. "She really solved that physics problem in one night?" Finding solutions to Olympiad problems online was a pipe dream.

"Of course. Why would I lie to you? I'll get the physics teacher to send you the problem on Monday," Mr. Hammond said, leisurely sipping his tea.

Wade couldn't help but retort, "Look at you, all smug."
