GoodReadChapter 308
As the first light of dawn crept across the stateside sky. Zach was rudely awakened from his deep slumber by the
persistent buzzing of his phone. With a scowl, he grabbed the device and saw it was his kid brother calling.
Taking a deep breath, he reined in his annoyance. “Nick, what's up?”
Nick was nervously twirling his glass, taking a two-second pause before finally speaking up. “I ran into Mira
today.”
Zach, face buried in his pillow, mumbled in a nasal voice, “Hmm? Spit it out if there's something. on your mind.”
“You know Mira pretty well, don’t you?” Nick asked, dragging out the words.
Zach's eyes, which had been closed, snapped open. “Of course. Nobody's tighter with her than |
am.”
Nobody was taking his place in her heart!

“That's great. So, do you have any clue what she’s into?” Nick had been racking his brain on the couch, thinking
hard. It was his first tmeeting his biological sister, who turned out to be quite empathetic. It felt wrong not to
offer a gift.
Zach instantly replied, “She’s all about hitting the books!”
Nick let out a puzzled “Ah,” as it dawned on him, “A bookworm?”
“Yep. When she’s not buried in a textbook, she’s got nothing else going on. Didn't she coff as a total nerd
when you met her today? She’s not cute at all, right?” Zach said, keeping a straight face.
Nick pondered for a moment. Mira did seem to carry an air of academia, but... not cute? She seemed alright to
him.
“Is there anything else she likes?” Nick probed further.
“That's it!” Zach asserted. After a pause, he remembered Mira’s reluctance to accept cash gifts and slyly added,
“Oh, and she loves getting cash gifts.”
So, she was a bit of a money lover. Nick was taken aback but quickly responded, “Okay, got it. Thanks, Zach.”
“Yeah, I'm going back to sleep. Don’t botheragain.” With that, Zach hung up. He tossed his phone on the
nightstand, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. The irritation from being woken up had mysteriously
vanished.
Still holding his phone, Nick sent a message to his assistant, instructing him to gather all the study materials for
Mirabella’s senior year of high school. The more, the merrier, as it was urgent.

After sending the message, he opened Messenger and started a chat with Mirabella. His finger hesitated over the
digital cash gift option, then paused. A $200 gift seemed a bit stingy.
After a moment's thought, he went for a direct transfer instead, sending a hefty $9,999.
LIN: [A little something for our meeting.]

LIN: (Zach mentioned you like cash gifts.)
So when Mirabella, fresh from the shower and ready for bed, checked her phone, she was once again floored by
the large sum.
Here we go again. This confirmed the family’s odd habit of hefty transfers.
But when had she ever shown a preference for cash gifts? Mirabella’s expression darkened. Zach was up to his
tricks again.
The next day, a group from Prestige College, led by their teachers, arrived at the Olympic Center building.
Stepping out of the bus, the students looked up at the towering edifice before them, knowing that only the truly
skilled and gifted were allowed to compete within its walls. The pressure was palpable even before they entered
the arena.
Given the global nature of the event, with participants from over twenty countries, the area outside the building
was already teeming with students from all around the world.
