Big Novel

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

Chapter 52

Mirabella was lost in her book, at least until she replied to James’ message. After
that, she just couldn't get back into it. She gazed at the new message from him
on her phone, pondering for a brief moment before tapping out a response: [Oh,
just snagged it online. I can shoot you the link to the store if you want.]

After a second thought. Mirabella opened up eBay, sifted through her favorites,
and found the store she was looking for. She copied the link, flipped back to her
Messenger app, and pasted it in for James.

When James received her reply, he dove into the online store she’d mentioned.
The shop had a solid five-star rating, a mishmash of products, not a dedicated
Incense retailer by any means. But the sandalwood and agarwood Incense
boxes looked strikingly similar to the wooden box that old lady had. The prices
were low, just over twenty bucks.

No exact matches were seen, but it was pretty clear that the calming incense the
old lady had likely originated from this online vendor. However, if it was the
legendary secret blend everyone whispered about, it wouldn't be peddled on
some random website, nor would it be that cheap.

James closed the app, and felt a little displeased. In his dark eyes. It was hard to
discern if it was disappointment or something else that dimmed their sparkle.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had whisked by since Mirabella had started at
Parkside High School.

She was a bit of a free spirit, didn’t really mingle with the other students, and
didn’t bother with extracurriculars. Her quiet demeanor had teachers labeling her
as a paragon of obedience, while her peers saw her as the quintessential ice
queen — a total enigma.

Her academic prowess was a mystery, but her looks? They were beyond
reproach.

Lately, though, rumors had started to swirl that she must've pulled some strings
to get into Parkside.

In her own world, oblivious to the petty high school chatter, Mirabella didn’t pay
any of it any mind. But Jenna, her desk mate, was fuming when she heard the
whispers. She almost went to set things straight before she turned to see
Mirabella, who was always with her nose in a book whether in class or out.

“I think they've got your whole vibe all wrong.” Jenna said seriously, propping her
chin on her hands as she studied Mirabella.

Mirabella lazily closed her textbook and turned her gaze on Jenna. Her eyebrows
arched slightly. “Oh?”

That casual look from Mirabella sent a little thrill through Jenna. She swallowed
hard, then retorted, “You're not an ice queen. You're a total bookworm!”

Flicking the corner of her book with a finger, Mirabella replied cryptically, “The
path to wisdom is singular, and it's paved with study.”

Playing with her fingers, Jenna

sighed, “I feel like you're hinting that

I'm dumb, but I don't have proof.”
Mirabella just smiled and didn't

respond. Her phone on the desk

buzzed, lighting up with two

notifications for substantial money
transfers. A quick glance was all it

took for Mirabella to massage her
temples in frustration. Again. It had

been nearly half a month of daily
transfers from that couple, as if they

had money to burn. Jenna, who had

been watching her, caught sight of

those two glaringly large transfer
notifications and couldn't help but

quip. “Another day, another blinding
glimpse of wealth.” The content is on

a few days ago that her desk mate

transfers daily. and she had gone
