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

Chapter 199

Mirabella arched an eyebrow at Vincent, her voice tinged with defiance, “Looking for a fight?”

Vincent frowned.

With a casual twist of her wrist. Mirabella said. “But… fighting is banned on school grounds. Didn’t you know?”

Her words sounded plain enough, but on closer inspection, they carried a brazen undertone. Sure, no fighting was allowed in school, but nothing stopped a tussle off campus.

Vincent caught the hint, and his gaze didn’t miss the gesture of her twisting wrist. His frown deepened. “Who said anything about fighting? Aren’t you supposed to be a lady? All you talk about is brawling.”

Mirabella remained unfazed.

The crowd of onlookers gawked at the standoff. The atmosphere seemed a bit off.

Then, Vincent pulled out a folded piece of paper from his backpack and forcefully placed it in Mirabella’s hands, his voice firm. “I want an answer by tomorrow.” With that, he turned on his heel and left, not giving Mirabella any chance to refuse.

The scene had shifted so rapidly that all the students who had been anticipating a showdown were left with their jaws hanging.

“What the heck,” they thought, “we brought out the popcorn for this?”

Was he passing a love note???

Mirabella came back to her senses and, ignoring the stares of her classmates, glanced at the paper now in her hands. It was folded, but she could make out bits of the content from her angle. A smirk twitched at the corners of her mouth.

After Vincent had walked away, Jenna approached cautiously, her eyes fixed on the note in Mirabella’s hand, barely containing her urge to snatch it and read it herself. “Queen Mira, what did Vincent give you?”

The surrounding students perked up their ears at her words, eager to know.

Mirabella nonchalantly slipped the paper into her jacket pocket and said indifferently. “Something you wouldn’t understand.”

Jenna touched the tip of her nose. “You won’t even show me, so how do you know I wouldn’t understand it?”

Mirabella turned to Jenna, her smile sly, “Trust me, Jenna. You’d question your sanity…” As she spoke, she reached out and playfully tousled Jenna’s hair.

Jenna was baffled. She felt utterly affronted! Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Chapter 190

Shaking her head with a laugh, Mirabella withdrew her hand and walked on.

About twenty minutes later, Mirabella and Jenna arrived at the hospital.

This was Jenna’s regular visiting time, and Kayla wasn’t around today. After donning sterile gowns, they entered the hospital room.

Seeing her father lying quietly on the bed, Jenna’s eyes reddened. She sat by his side, her voice quivering. “Dad’s out of immediate danger, but if he doesn’t wake up soon, the chances of him ever waking up are slim…

Mirabella had come today to assess Jake’s condition more closely. While Jenna was caught up in her worries, Mirabella reached out to check his pulse. His pulse was weak but not concerning.

Retracting her hand, Mirabella pondered for a few seconds, then patted Jenna on the shoulder. “It’s going to be okay. In a couple of days, your dad will wake up. Don’t worry.”

Jenna gave a wry smile and shook her head, dismissing Mirabella’s assurance.

Without pressing further, Mirabella stayed a few more minutes and then exited the room, leaving Jenna to be with her father. She took the elevator down to the ground floor of the inpatient building and started walking out of the hospital; she was surprised to run into a familiar face in the lobby..
