The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 621

Mandy had hoped to play the family card, but seeing her foster daughter's icy demeanor, it was clear that not even the thought of Catherine could sway her.

How utterly heartless.

Mandy took a deep breath, trying to calm her growing frustration. "Are you really so determined to forget everything we've been through?"

Mirabella's face remained cold and indifferent. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

With that, she walked out of the broadcast room.

Outside, two students who had been lingering near the door exchanged puzzled glances; they hadn't really caught the gist of the conversation, but Mirabella's stoic expression said enough.

Mandy hurried after her.

Mirabella moved quickly, her strides purposeful as she headed down the hallway towards the office area.

From Mr. Hammond's office, a group of sharply dressed individuals emerged, exuding an air of authority and seriousness.

"Mr. Hammond, the year-end report for the Department of Education is confirmed then. Your Parkside High School..." The Superintendent was mid-conversation with Mr. Hammond, occasionally glancing at Johnny, who was busy sending messages on his phone. Upon spotting a familiar figure, Johnny quickly put away his phone and made his way towards the hallway corner.

The Superintendent paused, curious about Johnny's sudden change in focus.

Mr. Hammond followed their gaze and saw Mirabella.

"Ms. Mirabella."

Johnny casually confirmed, "We met by chance."

Hearing this, Mr. Hammond chuckled. "The student I was just telling you about, the one who has consistently brought honor to our city, is Mirabella. She's likely to be next year's valedictorian."

The Superintendent, intrigued by this, looked up at Mirabella in astonishment.

His visit with Johnny to Parkside High School was part of the annual education policy review, with year-end performance summaries on the agenda. If next year's valedictorian emerged from their city, it would significantly impact the provincial education authorities' evaluations.

Meanwhile, Mandy had caught up. She hesitated upon seeing the group but approached with a practiced smile. "Johnny, Mr. Hammond."

Not recognizing the Superintendent but sensing his official stature, Mandy nodded politely in his direction as well.
