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

Chapter 3

“Since you're here, there’s something I want to make clear today, and I hope you
can take care of it.” Mandy declared with a return to her aristocratic demeanor.
Though she spoke of hope, the undercurrent of her words suggested a command
rather than a request.

Mirabella chuckled, and before she could respond, her grandmother, Catherine
who had raised her from childhood- made her presence known. Catherine gently
patted Mandy's arm, signaling her to tone it down before turning her softened
gaze to Mirabella. “Mira, you're back. How did the competition go?“~

With a nonchalant hum, Mirabella replied, “Not too bad, I guess.”

“Did you win?” asked Catherine, the excitement clear in her voice.

“Yeah, first place,” Mirabella responded casually, without a hint of pride in her
eyes, as if clinching the top spot was a

walk in the park for her.

Upon hearing this, Catherine was so delighted that she wiped away a tear. “Good
girl.”

Mandy frowned, not understanding, and questioned Catherine, “First place in
what competition?”

Catherine turned to her with a proud smile and began, “You might not know, but
Mira is not only a stellar student but

also...”

Losing interest as Catherine didn't directly answer her question and instead
started praising Mirabella’s academic achievements, Mandy interrupted with
impatience. “Okay, I get it. You don’t need to prop her up in front of me. She
didn’t even qualify for the county high school with her grades. If it weren't for the
Gilbert family footing the bill, she’d probably be stuck in some party school.”
Pausing. Mandy cast a scornful glance at Mirabella. “A fake stone will never be
mistaken for a diamond, no matter

what.”

Catherine looked worriedly at Mirabella, fearing the words might have hurt her.
“You haven't been involved in her life for years. You have no idea what Mira is
like now...”

Mandy sneered dismissively, cutting her off again. “Mom, she’s not my biological
daughter nor your real

granddaughter. Her name is Davis, and whether she does well or not is none of
my concern, and I don’t want to hear

it.”

Catherine's face tensed, harsh and dry words stuck in her throat. After a moment,
she managed to mutter, “Mira is my granddaughter!”

Mandy massaged her temples,

perplexed by Catherine's delusion.

“She's been living off the Gilbert

family for seventeen years while my
daughter suffered. Mom, get a grip.

Don't just recognize anyone as

family! You see her as kin, but she

might just be using you, trying to

swindle some money to send back to

her real parents...” The content is on

“You stop!” Catherine trembled with

rage. “I raised Mira myself. I know

exactly what kind of person she is, so
don't you. dare cast your malicious
suspicions on her.” The content is on

Mandy's face turned ashen with anger. “You can't tell right from wrong. Mom, I
think you're really sick in the head.”

Now in her sixties and with a heart
condition, Catherine grew pale and
clutched her chest tightly in response

to Mandy's harsh words. Seeing this,
Mirabella placed what she was

holding on the ground and quickly

moved to Catherine's side. She

helped Catherine to a nearby wicker

chair and took her wrist in her hand,
checking her pulse. The content is on
