The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 56

Mirabella was clueless that she had been blacklisted as a troublemaker by the vice principal because of the competition rumor, and with whispers flying around that she had used her connections to come here, her reputation was taking a hit. The students from both the Prodigy Class and the regular classes were giving her looks that dripped with judgment and disbelief.

Being a problem student and accused of pulling strings was the talk of the town, the stain on the school’s good name, the epitome of embarrassment!

So, when the list of students selected to participate in the BrainSpark Nationals was posted on the school bulletin board and Mirabella’s name popped up, it turned into the juiciest gossip of the semester.

“Good Lord, where does the new girl get the guts to sign up for BrainSpark Nationals? Isn’t she embarrassed?”

“Does she think she can just charm her way into BrainSpark Nationals too?”

“I’d bet a nickel she won’t even pass the prelims.”

“My stars, looks like Parkside High is gonna be the laughing stock of the nation this time!”

“Seriously, wouldn’t it be better to just sit pretty and not stir the pot?”

...

Jenna was dumbfounded when she saw Mirabella’s name on the list. “Queen Mira, I thought you said you weren’t interested in BrainSpark Nationals? You even turned me down when I asked you to sign up.” Jenna puffed her cheeks out in frustration. Her usually round face looked even rounder, like a petulant hamster.

Ever since Jenna found out about the hefty sums being transferred into Mirabella’s account every day, she’d taken to calling her “Queen Mira” as a nickname, and it had stuck.

Mirabella looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Wasn’t it you who signed me up?”

Jenna blinked in confusion. “Nope, not me. I mean, I wanted you to compete, but I didn’t put your name there.”
