When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0428

“I just didn’t expect you to go so far for Miranda,” Hansel said, his voice tight with disbelief. He hadn’t realized Miranda meant that much to Sam–enough to make

him take such a reckless gamble and set up

this elaborate scheme.

“A scheme?” Sam laughed lightly. “Not quite. I simply gave them a little push, a minor convenience.”

As Hansel had pointed out, the plan was full of holes. If Sam had designed it himself, it wouldn’t have been so sloppy. If it didn’t kill Hansel, it would have at least made him suffer.

“If you couldn’t avoid such a simple trap, then you’d deserve to rot in jail,” Sam sneered. It was a risk–free venture for him.

If it worked, great–Hansel would be jailed or tied to Ingrid forever. If it didn’t, no problem; Sam was just happy to make Hansel’s life miserable.

“You’re despicable!” Hansel growled, clenching his teeth. “All of this, just to screw me over for a woman?”

Sam sighed. “She’s not just any woman..”
