“So, you're in it for the prize money?” Vincent asked, his expression a mix of surprise and instant

comprehension.

Mirabella nodded, her gaze drifting back to the pages of her book.

Vincent couldn’t help but glance at her book. He prided himself on his French skills, but the text before him

might as well have been written in code.

He felt a slight sting to his ego.

Leaning back, he muttered with a wistful air, “This time, | won't lose the national competition to

you.”

Without even lifting her head from the page she was turning. Mirabella replied with a breezy, “Oh, then best of

luck to you.”

Those who usually threw down that gauntlet ended up eating their words. She could only offer encouragement.

Tflew by, and soon, the airport staff began announcing it was tto board.

Mirabella was one of the last to stand up, leisurely packing her book and pulling the small, wheeled suitcase her

mom had prepared for her towards the gate, where she handed her ID and boarding pass to the attendant with a

swipe.

Her seat was by the window, and as soon as she was on the plane, she powered off her phone. pulled her hoodie

over her head, and nestled into her seat to rest.

Two and a half hours later, the plane touched down at Riverdale Airport. It was just past six, and the sky hadn't

completely darkened yet.

After deplaning, everyone gathered at the exit as the preliminary rounds were set to start the next day. The

airport was filled with students and participants from all over the country.

The competition was at Prestige College, and most schools had booked hotels nearby. Parkside High School was

no exception.

Elsewhere, Wyatt, who had just emerged from the VIP corridor, spotted Mirabella amidst a group of students

while he was on a call. He did a double-take, making sure he wasn’t mistaken. He had overheard Mr. Hammond

mentioning that he would bring students to Riverdale for a competition but hadn't expected to bump into them.

After ending his call, Wyatt approached James, nodding towards Mirabella, “Sir, look over there, that’s Ms.

Mirabella.”

James lifted his gaze, his cool eyes landing on a girl who seemed to command attention wherever she stood,

even in her casual pose.

It was as if she sensed she was being watched; she suddenly looked up, her eyes finding him

Their gazes met in mid-air, and a subtle smile played on James’ lips. What a sharp kid.

Wyatt hesitated before asking in a low voice. “Should we go over and say hello?”

After a brief glance from Mirabella that quickly withdrew, James shook his head. “No need, let's

go.”

With that, he turned away, his usual icy demeanor settling back over his features as he walked

off.

Meanwhile, Anthony gathered all his students once they were accounted for and led them toward the airport

parking lot. Mr. Hammond had already arranged for their transportation.

Coming from the esteemed Hammond family of Riverdale, Mr. Hammond had ensured a driver from the family

estate was there to meet them, parked in a private lane within the airport.

Aside from the Hammond family vehicle, there were several black limousines with government plates. A few men

stood in a disciplined line, their expressions stern, exuding an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance.

It was as if they were there to pick up someone of great importance.
