The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 543

Mandy watched the car disappear into the distance before retracting her lingering gaze and turning around. She opened the passenger side door and slid into the seat.

Summer, who had been watching Mandy's every expression from the driver's side, clenched her fingers so tightly they nearly pierced her skin.

The irony of today's scene was not lost on her. Her so-called loving mother had come to pick her up, only to have eyes for Mirabella. To Mandy, it seemed her own flesh and blood meant nothing at all.

Without the star-studded halo that brought prestige to the Gilberts, Summer realized she had lost her value in their eyes. That was the harsh reality of being part of the Gilbert family.

Mandy flicked her fingernail absently and glanced in the rearview mirror. Coming back to her sense, she asked without much preamble, "Did you get your league scores?"

"Yeah." Summer's voice was distant as she turned her head to gaze out of the window, her emotions now firmly in check.

"How much did you score?" Mandy inquired casually.

If she hadn't known Mirabella's score, Summer might have proudly shared her score of 263, but now...

Closing her eyes briefly, Summer managed to suppress her frustration and revealed her score.

"263? And your rank?" Mandy adjusted her hair and continued her inquiry.

"Citywide, I came 15th."

Mandy's face remained unexcited upon hearing the score. After a brief pause, she probed further, "And Mirabella? How did she do?"
