The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 620

In the school's broadcast booth, two students were huddled over their microphones, whispering to each other in the cozy space. By the window stood a woman wrapped in a camel-colored trench coat, her hand casually holding a designer handbag.

As Mirabella stepped into the room, the student broadcasters instantly noticed her. They were her classmates, and she was somewhat of a legend in their senior year.

"Mirabella, the brainiac, graces us with her presence," one said, nodding in recognition.

Mirabella responded with a polite nod of her own.

It was then that Mandy, who had been gazing out the window, turned to face the door. Her eyes softened at the sight of Mirabella. "Mira," she said gently.

Mirabella shot Mandy a cool glance, a chill running down her spine at the unexpected warmth in Mandy's voice.

One of the students was from a regular class while the other was from the Prodigy Class. The Prodigy Class student knew Mandy well—she was Summer's biological mother.

Marian had a knack for making her presence felt at every parent-teacher meeting, impossible to forget even if one tried.

But why was Summer's mother here to see Mirabella?

The forums had buzzed with speculation about the relationship between Mirabella and Summer after some competition drama, but no conclusions had been drawn. Now, curiosity filled the room.

Despite their interest, the students sensed it was time to leave the booth, making a quiet exit and leaving the space to the two women.

With the students gone, Mandy approached Mirabella. "Mira," she called again.

Mirabella touched her earlobe and stepped back. "If you have something to say, say it."

Mandy seemed accustomed to such a cold reception, her smile unwavering. "I might have been harsh before, so I want to make amends..."

Impatiently flicking her fingers, Mirabella spoke dismissively. "I didn’t come here to listen to your nonsense. If you have a shred of decency, don’t drag your family's dirty tricks into the life of an elderly woman who deserves peace."

With that, Mirabella turned to leave.

As Mandy's face flushed with anger and embarrassment, she thought of something and her facade of gentleness fell away. "Tell me, that city contract, did you sabotage it? Our family had a strong chance at winning that bid. Was it you, afraid of the Gilbert family's success, meddling behind the scenes?"

Mirabella, already at the door, paused and looked back at Mandy in confusion.

Mandy stepped closer, her voice accusing. "It’s you, isn’t it? You're the one who’s been undermining us!"

Mirabella, already at the door, paused and looked back at Mandy in confusion.
