The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 625

Mirabella shot Johnny a look that screamed, "Seriously?" She shook her head and sighed. "Your background checks are about as reliable as an April weather forecast."

Johnny caught onto her sarcasm and coughed awkwardly. "Yeah, that's on me. I should've been more thorough."

No excuses could change the fact that their sloppy research almost got him accused of abusing his power.

Mirabella forced a small smile, remembering Mr. Hammond was still around. She had to keep up her good student image. "Just so you know, my last name is Howard. Next time, don’t mix me up with just anyone."

Johnny nodded. "This was definitely my bad. Don’t let it bother you."

Mirabella decided not to drag it out any longer. The spectacle was over. She turned to Mr. Hammond. "Mr. Hammond, I'll head back to class now."

Mr. Hammond, still stunned by the whole scene, could only nod. Mirabella gave a polite nod back and walked towards the school building, not even glancing at Mandy.

Johnny, having wasted enough time on Mandy, had nothing more to say. He quickly left with his colleagues from the Department of Education.

Mandy stood there, dazed, Johnny's words echoing in her ears. If it weren't for her foster daughter, Gilbert Corporation wouldn't have even been on the government's radar. And the only reason they were given a chance to bid was to repay a favor to her foster daughter?

The focus was on repaying 'the foster daughter,' not the Davis family. What kind of influence did her foster daughter have to get such respectful treatment from a city secretary?
