When fate plays its hand (Miranda)
Chapter 5
Chapter 0004
Hansel had had quite a lot to drink the night before. Somewhere in the middle of the night, Calvin had suddenly made a huge fuss about continuing their drinking session at a second bar.
By the time Hansel’s driver, Dan Rover, brought him back to the mansion, the sun was already starting to rise.
Hansel managed to flop onto his bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly forced himself to get up and take a quick shower. “Maybe Mimi won’t get mad at me anymore like this,” Hansel thought groggily.

Hansel went into the walk–in closet and found the first–aid kit in the drawer, as Martha had mentioned. All five of his bottles of pills were neatly arranged in the bottom row of the kit.
After taking his pills and finally feeling the pain subside, Hansel gradually began to relax. He pushed the drawer back to leave, but all of a sudden, he froze.in his spot.
Nothing had gone missing from Miranda’s jewelry and designer handbag collection. However, all of Miranda’s documents, including her ID, driver’s license, diploma certificates, and the like, were all gone.
Hansel then looked in the corner, where he usually stored his travel suitcases. As expected, one of them had gone missing.
He stood in place and felt his rage starting to boil.
“Brilliant… Brilliant… Just fucking brilliant…” He kept nodding as he repeated the word over and over.
Just as he’d thought, women should never be indulged. Otherwise, they’d kick up a huge fuss and then walk all over him.
At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the front door opening. He dashed downstairs immediately.
