GoodReadChapter 99
Zach gave her a puzzled glance. “Hmm?”
“I've got svitamins and energy boosters at hthat really work wonders. When are you coming back? I'll
have them ready for you,” Mirabella explained casually. After all, she had taken a ‘little’ welcgift from him. It
was only right to offer something in return.
Truth be told, her remedies were worth a lot more than the ‘little’ gift.
Coming back to his senses, Zach realized his sister meant well and smiled. He was just about to speak when he
heard her volce again. “Or just textyour address, and | can mail them to
55, and | can you, no big deal.”
Seeing the earnest look on his sister's face, Zach swallowed his initial refusal and said, “Thank you, I'll be staying
at hfor a while.”

Mirabella snapped her fingers at him. “OK, I'll give them to you tonight.” With that, she hopped out of the car
with a cool move.
Resting his hand on the steering wheel, Zach watched his sister walk away and shook his head with a smile. One
had to admit, she was pretty cute, or rather, quite dashing.
Starting the car, Zach turned around and left the school. As he drove off, he passed the Gilbert family’s car
head-on.
Sitting in the car, Summer glanced up just in tto catch a glimpse of Zach's face in the passing vehicle. “Stop
the car,” she urged the driver.
The driver slammed on the brakes, pulling over to the side of the road. Summer pushed the car door open, but
when she looked back, Zach's car had already vanished into the distance. Biting her lip in frustration, She quickly
pulled out her phone and dialed Zach's number.
After several rings, Zach finally answered, “Summer? Is there something you need?”
Summer's gaze still followed the direction Zach had gone, and she spoke gently. “It's nothing. much. | was just
wondering if you were back from your business trip?”
Zach, driving away, paused for a moment before replying without any noticeable change in his tone. “Not yet.
The case at the company is pretty complex. It might take a while longer.”
Hearing this, Summer's grip on her phone tightened unconsciously, her expression faltering slightly. After a few
seconds, she found her voice again. “Ah, is that so? Well, letknow when you're coming back. I'll cto the
airport to pick you up.”
Zach responded noncommittally, “I've got a client right now; we'll talk when I'm free.”
“Okay, then... you go ahead with your work, Zach.”
After hanging up, Summer stood there for a long time, her eyes getting teary slightly. The cars had only brushed
past each other, but she wouldn't mistake that face or the license plate.

Chapter 99
Why did Zach lie about still being on a business trip? Was it because of Mirabella’s return that he was acting so
cold towards her?
That's right, he was coming from the school. It didn’t take much guessing to know that Mirabella must have said
something to him!
Summer clenched her fists, her sharp nails almost piercing her palms.
Back in the classroom, Jenna, who'd been slumped listlessly over her desk, perked up immediately, “Mira, you're
back. How'd the test go?”
Mirabella tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with an air of nonchalance. “Not bad, | guess.”
Jenna clicked her tongue twice. That tone was asking for trouble.
“You look beat. Rough night?” Mirabella glanced at her and asked.
Jenna shook her head and rested her chin on the desk, looking utterly dejected. “Did you hear about the
infuriating thing our homeroom teacher announced this morning?”
