The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 227
Mr. Hammond couldn't help but chuckle, “As it happens, I'm a Friday regular too.”
James glanced his way. “How about I get Wyatt to swing by and pick you up?”
Waving his hand, Mr. Hammond demurred, “No need to trouble yourselves. I've
got a few students to shepherd as well.”
James arched an eyebrow. “Oh, they're competing?”
“Yeah, but how'd you know?” Mr. Hammond was genuinely surprised.
James smiled. “Heard a little birdie mention it a couple of days ago.”
So that was it.
Without pressing further, Mr. Hammond shifted the conversation to other matters.
After leaving Mr. Hammond's office, Mirabella made a beeline for the classroom.
As for why James had been there, she didn’t bother to speculate.
“Mr. Hammond summoned you again? What did he want?” Jenna leaned in with
curiosity as soon as Mirabella settled into her seat.
Fishing out a copy of a French anthology from her desk, Mirabella flipped it open
and without looking up, replied, “Nationals next week. He just wanted to remind
me to hit the books.”
Jenna rested her chin on her hand. “That's it? Nothing else?”
“Nope.” Mirabella didn’t even glance up.
Blinking, Jenna's gaze landed on the French tome that her friend was pondering.
She tried to make sense of a line and instantly felt her head spin. Despite her
confidence in her French, she couldn't decipher a single word.
“But if you're supposed to be studying, why are you digging into this book?”
Jenna asked. puzzled.
Mirabella turned another page, and her voice was even. “Oh, I signed up for a
French speaking contest too.”
Jenna touched her nose. “A French speaking contest? How come you decided to
join that?”
She was well aware of the competition. Their French teacher had brought it up in
class, but at the time no one had volunteered.
This wasn't just any French speaking contest. It wasn't about rote memorization
of French passages. It involved grammar, fluidity, and you couldn't bring any
notes onstage. It was akin to impromptu speaking. Actually, it was even harder
than that, since you had to translate French thoughts into English on the fly.

“The winner gets a hundred thousand in scholarship money.” Mirabella stated
seriously. Who could turn down money?
Jenna remembered the days when Mirabella was daily “blessed” with someone's
generous transfers. Her emotions were mixed. After a while, she managed to
ask, “Excuse me, but are you in need of money?”
Hearing this, Mirabella paused. Her hand rested on the French text. She turned
to Jenna, nodding solemnly. “Does anyone ever think they have too much
money?”
Jenna's eyebrow twitched. Damn it, how could such a soul-searching question
leave her speechless?
Mirabella smiled slightly. Just as she was about to turn back, she suddenly faced
Jenna again. “By the way, do you follow any celebrities?”

“Alright, just curious,” Mirabella said, with a tinge of disappointment in her voice
as she turned back to her book.
After a moment's contemplation, it was clear to her that her Leo was indeed not
one of the famous ones.
