The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Mirabella's eyebrow shot up in surprise when she heard Meg's voice.

"Seriously, is the world that small?" she thought.

At that moment, Calvin finally looked up. His normally stern face softened considerably when he saw his student, pausing his work. "You've been a great help, Meg."

Meg stood tall, smiling and shaking her head. "It's only right to help my teacher out."

Just two months into her biology program, Meg had caught the eye of the department head, Calvin. He took her under his wing, involving her in numerous research projects. She quickly became the most promising freshman in the department.

Even now, she was highly regarded as a talented student.

Calvin was quite pleased with his protégé. Although she wasn't quite as strong as Wade's student, Meg's performance and natural talent in her field were nothing short of commendable.

"The freshmen orientation should be nearly wrapped up. Don't forget, you still owe me a lab report. Try to get it to me when you can," Calvin said with a smile.

"Actually, I've already finished it. I'll bring it to you when I get back," Meg replied confidently.

Calvin looked genuinely surprised. "That fast?"

Meg nodded, assured.

As they continued chatting, the teacher handling freshmen registration cleared his throat, drawing their attention. He gestured with the documents in his hand towards Mirabella, speaking softly, "All set, Mirabella. You can leave now."

Though the teacher spoke softly, Meg still heard him. She casually glanced at Mirabella and paused when she recognized her familiar profile.

"Isn't that the girl from Parkside High School?" she wondered. "What's she doing in the biology department?"

Mirabella didn't notice Meg. She simply nodded politely to the teacher handling her registration and walked out of the office.

Even after Mirabella disappeared from view, Meg was still in a daze. It wasn't until Mr. Calvin called her name that she snapped back to reality. "Ah, teacher, that girl just now, is she a new student this year?"noveldrama

Calvin replied casually, "Yes, why? Do you know her?"

Meg hesitated for a moment before responding, "Not exactly... I was invited to give a talk at my high school and saw her there a few times."

"I see," Calvin nodded, not pressing further.

But Meg's curiosity got the best of her. "Did she score highly?" she asked.

Speaking of grades, Calvin couldn't deny that the girl had indeed performed exceptionally well, although it was a pity she was a humanities student.

He shook his head regretfully before saying, "Haven't you checked this year's final exam rankings?"

"No..." Meg coughed slightly and explained, "I was busy with experiments with my fellow researchers during that period, so I didn't pay attention."

Like her, many in the department were usually so engrossed in their research that they paid little attention to external matters, especially not the annual final exam rankings now that they were no longer high school students.

Calvin raised an eyebrow and simply told Meg, "You might want to look up this year's final exam top scorer."

With that, he sat back down and resumed his work.

"Final exam top scorer..." Meg's heart skipped a beat. She pulled out her smartphone, opened her web browser, and typed in the search for the final exam top scorer.
