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

Chapter 244
As Anthony ushered his group of students by, the leader of the sleek black
sedans had already ignited the engine, and the men standing beside the vehicle
were beginning to file in.
A curious student, eyeing the procession of cars, noticed something unique about
their license plates and blurted out, “Check out the plates on those cars!”
The student's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to make one of the men, who
was about to get in his car, turn around with a piercing glare that seemed to carry
the weight of death itself. The student shivered involuntarily and huddled closer
to his classmates for comfort.
Mirabella, trailing at the back of the pack, lazily lifted her gaze to take in the
scene before quickly, and without emotion, turned her attention away.
Standing in the Hammond family’s section, the driver bowed respectfully to the
stern man, keeping his silence until the last car had driven away. He wiped the
sweat from their brows and, without explaining to the students, opened the door
to the minibus and ushered everyone inside.

Once on the bus, the frightened student seemed to snap reality, his face still
showing traces of shock as he murmured to a classmate, “That guy was
terrifying, like one of those cold-blooded hitmen you see on TV.”
“I feel you. His gaze was like it could crush anything.”
Most of the students who had come to Riverdale for the competition were from
ordinary walks of life, sheltered from the more sinister and bloody aspects of the
world, living their lives pure and carefree.
Mirabella looked out the bus window, her expression detached, her eyes lost in
the distance.
Beside her sat Vincent, who overheard the front row students“ conversation and
couldn't help but glance at Mirabella. From the moment she boarded the bus, her
face showed no signs of fear or panic like the other students. Her composure
was as if she had merely encountered an everyday person dealing with everyday
matters.
Vincent's family was well-known in Radiant Ridge, and though he had seen his
fair share of high-stakes situations, the sight of those men had stirred a
subconscious dread within him. albeit not enough to make him lose his
composure like the others.
But Mirabella, she seemed like someone who had been exposed to far grander
scenes.
“Aren't you scared at all?” Vincent asked her quietly.
Mirabella turned to look at him, her answer serious, “Of course I am.”
Vincent was puzzled. Was she scared? She didn't look it.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and she pulled it out to read a message.

James: [Where's the hotel your school’s booked?]
Mirabella didn't bother to hide it and typed back: [Near Prestige College.)
James: [Studying tonight, or do you want to check out the town? Riverdale’s
nightscape is pretty decent.]
The Pill: If I go out, Mr. Hammond will probably break my legs, “seriousface.jpg.)
James let out a light chuckle on the other side of the phone, his usually stern
face relaxing into
a lazy smile that seemed to spread a good mood throughout the car.
