The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 67

It wasn't long before Anthony pieced out the whole thing. On the first day of school, he had said a few things to Morgan, mentioning that Mirabella was a special recruit by the principal. Later, when he learned that Mirabella had left in a hurry, he was so anxious that he left the conversation unfinished.

What he had meant to say was, "Mirabella was recruited by the principal after a lot of effort." Could Morgan have misunderstood him because of that?

Anthony rubbed his temples, a frown creasing his forehead.

Seeing Anthony’s gesture, Morgan knew Anthony must've recalled the incident and couldn't help but snort dismissively. "With so many people present, how could I possibly lie?"

The vice principal, interpreting Anthony's silence as guilt, curled his lips into a mocking smile. "Let's not start accusing me of slinging mud at the principal. I can't bear this blame."

Anthony opened his mouth to clarify, but before he could get a word out, Delilah and Shawn burst into the office, their faces etched with urgency, and cut him off.

"What's happened to my daughter?" Delilah's voice was tinged with panic. Upon seeing Mirabella standing there unharmed, Delilah rushed over to squeeze Mirabella’s arm and pat her shoulder, a wave of relief washing over Delilah when she confirmed her daughter was alright. She had been terrified by the stern tone of the school's call, fearing the worst.

The vice principal cleared his throat and addressed Delilah and Shawn with a modicum of politeness. "The situation is such that we at Parkside High School can no longer continue to enroll your child. These admissions through pulling strings cast a long shadow, and we thought it best to discuss this in person before you take your child home."

Delilah and Shawn exchanged bewildered glances as he finished. "What do you mean? Could you please be clearer? What's this pulling strings?" Delilah was genuinely confused.

"My daughter was formally accepted by Parkside High, wasn't she? She even received an acceptance letter," Shawn's frown deepened, his usually friendly demeanor now replaced by an imposing sternness.
