The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 761

As Matthew strolled forward, he chattered, "Mr. Hammond was saying, once our junior enters Prestige College, he hopes we'll look out for her a bit, you know? It's that school spirit, kinda makes us more of a family than..."

Meg halted in her tracks, gripping Matthew's arm. "Hold up, Matthew. Did you say our junior's gonna be at Prestige College?"

Her eyes widened in shock, disbelief lacing her voice.

Matthew turned around. "Yeah, Mirabella got a direct entry spot to Prestige College."

"Direct entry? How did she land one of those?" Meg's eyebrows shot up. "Weren't we just talking about how she's struggling with English?"

"Because she nailed that competition, remember? The one Prestige College co-hosted with the Academic Alliance last year? Winning that got her the spot," Matthew explained.

Hearing this, Meg just shook her head. "I was buried in research with my professor at that time. Didn't really keep up with the news."

"Fair enough," Matthew paused, then added with a chuckle, "You were the star of our year, getting handpicked by the dean himself. Makes sense you were busy."

Meg couldn't help but beam at that, clearing her throat modestly. "Well, I just got lucky, I guess. Plus, there aren't that many of us in the biology department."

Taylor, who had been silent till now, chimed in, "My professor always sings your praises too."

He had taken a genetic engineering course in biology and Meg's name came up in lectures more times than he could count.

Meg gave Taylor a pleased nod, then let the conversation drift away from Mirabella. Just a try-hard, she thought, even with a direct entry spot, not worth my attention.

Meg brushed a curl away from her face, shifting the topic to lighter conversations with Matthew and Taylor.
