When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0496

Thinking back to the recent chaos at Hansel’s company caused by Ingrid’s mother and her troublemaker brother, Zach couldn’t help but click his tongue.

He thought, thank goodness the child was no longer in the picture; otherwise, Evelyn might have been sobbing her heart out in the restroom by now.

Just then, his hired driver arrived. As Zach was about to get into the back seat, the restaurant manager ran out to stop him.

“Sir! Sir! Just a moment, please!”

“What’s going on?” Zach asked, holding the car door open.

The manager explained, “One of our servers found a shawl in the private room with a brooch attached. It seems like a lady might have left it behind.”

Since Miranda and her family had already left, and Zach was the only one still around, the manager handed it over to him.

“Alright, I’ll take care of it,” Zach replied, tossing the shawl onto the back seat. He planned to have his assistant deliver it to Miranda the next day.

“Let’s go,” he told the driver.

“Sure thing,” the driver replied, and they drove off.
