Chapter 185
Mirabella glanced at Summer with a smirk playing on her lips. A gentle breeze
teased a strand of her hair across her face, which she casually blew aside. Her
voice was languid with a hint of arrogance. “And who the hell do you think you
are to command me like that?”
Her voice, a little husky, carried a natural haughtiness that somehow made even
her coarsest words sound stylishly rebellious.
Summer's usually composed expression froze momentarily before a sardonic
smile curled her lips. “Do you really think acing a few tests makes you something
special?”
Mirabella's brows arched with insouciance. Deep down, she'd always wondered
why the bonal fide Gilbert family heiress was so persistent in seeking attention
from her. Was this what it meant to return to a life of privilege, basking in parental
adoration, with nothing better to do than play pretentious games?
Shaking her head in mild amusement, Mirabella withdrew her gaze, too
indifferent to continue the conversation, and turned to continue her way toward
the school gates.
Watching Mirabella’s retreating figure, Summer's face darkened with disdain. She
absolutely despised that superior air Mirabella wore like a second skin as if she
were some kind of aristocrat. It was laughable, really, considering Mirabella had
grown up in some backwater town. Did she truly see herself as such a big deal?
Summer rolled up the car window with an annoyed flick of her wrist and
instructed the driver to leave.
Inside the classroom, Mirabella noticed Jenna, who had made it to class that day.
After taking her seat, she gently tapped Jenna on the shoulder.
Jenna had been in a daze since arriving at school, a stark contrast to her usual
eagerness to greet Mirabella. Startled by the tap, Jenna finally snapped out of it.
“Queen Mira, you're here,” Jenna murmured, her voice drained.
Mirabella studied Jenna's haggard face, noting her dark circles, and asked.
“Were you up all night?”
Laying her head on the desk, Jenna half-closed her eyes and said hoarsely,
“Couldn't sleep. Just thinking about my dad makes me so upset.”
“Take care of yourself, Jenna. You don't want to end up sick when your dad
wakes up. That'd only make everyone worry, not to mention your mom needs
you,” Mirabella spoke softly.
It wasn't that Mirabella was unwilling to help; it just wasn't the right time. Jenna's
dad had just undergone major surgery, and his body was still healing. If Mirabella
intervened with her acupuncture now, it might've done more harm than good.

Sniffling. Jenna tried to perk up. “Yeah, I know.”
Mirabella smiled and pulled out a notebook from her desk. She turned to the
math notes she had organized the day before and placed them on Jenna’s desk.
Jenna's eyes warmed at the sight of the neatly penned pages, which broke down
complex equations and highlighted key points for the exams. “Thank you,” she
whispered.

Being summoned by the language arts teacher had become routine for Mirabella,
but being called away by the French teacher, especially mid-lesson, was
bewildering indeed.
