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

Chapter 104
Madeline quickly scrolled through the national leaderboard on her phone until
she spotted Summer's score and ranking.
186 points, ranked 10th in the nation.
Had she not seen Mirabella’s score, she would've thought that was pretty
impressive, But now... Madeline touched her nose, a forced smile creeping onto
her face as she said, “Wow, Summer, you really aced it too, huh?”
Summer's thoughts, lost in a jumble of emotions, snapped back to the present
with Madeline's voice. She masked the turmoil within and asked calmly, “What
did I score?”
“186 points, right at number ten nationwide.” Madeline's voice was noticeably
softer when she said it, lacking the oomph she had when she mentioned
Mirabella’s perfect 200 score.
Hearing this, Summer's eyes briefly dipped in response, her tone flat, “Okay.”
After her terse reply, she slid her phone back into her desk drawer and pulled out
her physics textbook instead, burying her head in it. Her ponytail cascaded onto
her shoulder, velling half of her profile from view.
Madeline watched her, her heart heavy with sympathy, wanting to offer some
comforting words but coming up empty. All of this was because of Mirabella. She
stole Summer's spotlight after seventeen years, and now, she was back to rub
salt in the wound with her over-the-top achievements. It was Infuriating. Why
couldn’t she just stay in the honors program and keep a low profile?
Madeline was positively seething!
Meanwhile, Mirabella made a beeline for Ms. Annette’s office.
“Mirabella, I was just about to call you, and here you are.” Ms. Annette’s stern
face softened instinctively at the sight of Mirabella.
Mirabella looked puzzled, “Oh?”
“Congratulations on snagging the top national rank in the city preliminaries again.
You're outstanding!” Ms. Annette couldn’t hide her genuine admiration. She
recalled how Mr. Morgan, that old stickler, almost misled her and she nearly
made the mistake of turning away such a promising student.
Now that Mirabella had clinched the national top spot again, that stubborn old
man must be kicking himself. The thought brought a smug smile to Ms. Annette’s
lips.
Mirabella was silent for a beat before she said, “Ms. Annette, I suspect there's
been a mistake with my BrainSpark Nationals preliminary score.”
Ms. Annette paused, “A mistake? What do you mean?”
“I don't think my score should be just 200 points. No, I'm certain it shouldn't be
just 200 points,” Mirabella said earnestly, her expression serious.
Ms. Annette stifled a laugh. “What do you mean “just’ 200 points? The total is
210”
She regarded Mirabella with a mix of amusement and perplexity for a moment
before asking. “So, what score do you think you should have?”
“Full marks!” Mirabella lifted her chin confidently.
Ms. Annette coughed, taken aback once again. Truth be told, she wanted to
believe Mirabella, but she knew the competition's rigorous standards, and
achieving full marks was nearly impossible.
