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

Back at school, classes had yet to begin. It was still the lunch break study period.

Jenna glanced up in surprise as Mirabella breezed back into the room far earlier than expected. “Back so soon? Did you get everything sorted out with that old man?”

Mirabella pulled a book from beneath her desk, flipping it open as she replied, “Not exactly. He’s already been discharged from the hospital.”

“Ah… so you went there for nothing?” Jenna touched the tip of her nose, a gesture of mild awkwardness.

“Yep,” Mirabella confirmed, with a nonchalant nod.

Suddenly remembering something, Mirabella turned to Jenna. “Can I use your phone to make a call?”

“Sure.” Jenna fished out her smartphone, unlocked it, and handed it over to Mirabella.

With the phone in hand, Mirabella stepped out through the classroom’s back door. Once out in the corridor, she tapped the screen, pulling up the dial pad to punch in a number. It was the same number that the old man had called from the previous night while she was at James‘ place.
