When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0454

At this moment, Miranda was already on the bullet train back to Lumberville.

Her grandmother, Anna, was celebrating her 80th birthday. The three brothers of the Sutton family decided to throw a big party for her to celebrate. Naturally, the younger members of the family, including Miranda, were required to return home as well.

The date had been set long ago. Given that it was a three–day affair, she had to take leave since it wasn’t a holiday.

Christine was still abroad attending an academic conference, and would be away for some time. Miranda didn’t call her due to the time difference. Instead, she sent in a request for leave via email in advance.

Fortunately, Christine was quite accommodating. Not only did she grant Miranda leave, but she also asked Miranda to convey her well wishes to her grandmother.

“Where’s Dad?” Miranda felt a little puzzled when she saw no one else in the car after getting in.
