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

Chapter 1576

Patrick seemed blissfully unaware of the change in Mira's expression, keeping his polite smile intact. "Oh, by the way, the professor mentioned you snagged first place in an international competition a couple of years back. That's seriously impressive, Mira."

Mirabella was speechless. He'd really done his homework, digging up stuff from years ago.

Blaze chimed in, picking up where Patrick left off. "It's a real bummer you're not going to the upcoming conference, Mira!"

Mirabella gave them both a look filled with mixed emotions. Their back-and-forth was almost like a rehearsed play.

"Especially since the conference is at Riverside University. It's such a renowned school; don't you want to check it out?" Patrick added, confident that no one could turn down such an offer.

"Riverside University?" Mirabella's interest was piqued.

What a coincidence.

Blaze quickly nodded, catching her curiosity. "Yeah, didn't I tell you before?"

Mirabella's expression remained complicated. "You didn't."

Blaze scratched his head, realizing his sales pitch had missed the mark earlier.

But that wasn't the main issue now.

"So, Mira, are you thinking about going to the conference?" Blaze asked, his voice lifting with excitement.
