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

Mandy leisurely sipped her coffee before locking eyes with Delilah. “I want you to transfer Mirabella to a different school. Any school other than Parkside High will do. I have

connections. I can make it happen.”

Delilah blinked, taken aback. “I’m sorry, I’m not quite following. Why should my daughter have to transfer?”

“Because she’s affecting Summer,” Mandy said bluntly, no mincing words.

Delilah couldn’t help but laugh. “As far as I know, our daughters aren’t even in the same class. What kind of ‘effect‘ are we talking about?”

“You should really ask your daughter what she did to Summer,” Mandy said, her voice tinged with accusation.

Frowning, Delilah was about to retort when Mandy cut in again. “Look, your daughter’s grades. aren’t the best. She’s struggling to keep up at Parkside High. Maybe a fresh start at a different school would be better for her self–esteem.”

Delilah stared incredulously at Mandy. Was she seriously suggesting Mirabella, who topped. her class, had poor grades? It was like a joke.

Ignoring Delilah’s skeptical look, Mandy pulled out a check she had prepared earlier. “Thist should cover it. Keep your daughter away from the Gilbert family from now on.”

Delilah glanced at the check and then back at Mandy, who looked like she had never seen so much money in her life. Delilah nearly chuckled. Five hundred thousand. Was that it? Mirabella’s custom

wardrobe alone cost more than that. But the money wasn’t the point. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just want to know how my daughter supposedly bullied Summer,” Delilah redirected the

conversation.

Mandy didn’t really know what Mirabella had done, but she remembered her daughter’s hurt. feelings. Impatiently, she said, “Just ask your daughter.”

“So, you don’t actually know?” Delilah’s tone was mocking.

Having dealt with Mandy’s irrationality before, Delilah stood up. “Sorry, but my daughter isn’t going anywhere.”

She picked up the check from the table, let it flutter to the ground, and raised an eyebrow defiantly. “This little amount wouldn’t even cover my daughter’s expenses. With that, she grasped her husband’s hand and walked out with an air of arrogance.

Mandy’s face turned a shade of thunderous purple, especially after Delilah’s dismissive check–tossing gesture. She was so furious that she nearly threw her coffee. “Ignorant, foolish, pretentious!” Mandy seethed under her breath.

The butler beside her quickly scooped up the check from the floor. “Madam, please, calm

down. They’re just a couple who’ve never been anywhere. They’re not worth your time.”

Mandy’s gaze drifted to the window, where she caught sight of Delilah and Shawn getting into their old Santana. She scoffed disdainfully. “You’re right. Why bother with people who’ve never seen the world?” Mandy sneered and turned away as if one more glance would sully.
