Chapter 0083

“What the hell is going on?”

“Have you two gone crazy?”

“Stop this now, Hans, Sam!”

Zach and Calvin each grabbed one of them.

“Hansel, calm down!” Calvin exclaimed.

“Sam, stop this insanity! Why are you guys fighting? Can’t you talk it out?” Zach asked.

“Let go!” Hansel and Sam shouted in unison.

Seeing how the two of them still wanted to charge forward and swing their fists, Calvin and Zach knew that they couldn’t let them go no matter what.

“Tell me what the hell is going on.” Zach’s gaze flitted between the two.

“Whatever it is, let’s talk it out. We’re all friends. Don’t ruin the friendship!” Calvin said, trying to mediate the situation.

Zach continued, “Hans, today is Sam’s birthday. No matter how big of an issue it is, you can bring it up another day.”

Sam wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. His gaze swept over Hansel’s furious face, and he smirked. “I meant what I said earlier, and I had made this decision after much pondering. You don’t have any right to get involved.”

With that, he turned and approached Miranda, whose face was pale and gaze was blank. Taking off his jacket, he gently draped it over her shoulders. “Are you alright? That must have been such a fright. I’ll send you home.”

Calvin’s and Zach’s eyes widened at the sight. They were so taken aback that their brains ceased to function.

Sam and Miranda..

What was going on?

Was this the reason Hansel had gone crazy?

It was at that moment that Miranda snapped back to reality. She stared at Sam’s outstretched hand and blatantly sidestepped it. Then, she removed the jacket from her body and returned it to him.

“That’s not necessary. I can go home by myself. Please don’t drag me into you business. I’m not a toy that you two can fight over.

*Also,” Miranda said emphatically, looking up, “don’t contact me again.”

She was speaking to both Sam and Hansel, who was standing a distance away.

“Mimi…” Sam muttered, looking down. “I’m sorry. All of this happened because I wasn’t thinking clearly. For causing you so much trouble, I’ll make things up to you-”

“If you really want to make things up to me, then stay away from me.”

At first, she had been confused, dumbfounded, and aggrieved. But now, calmed down completely. She knew very well that this wasn’t her fault.

Sam had acted rashly and thoughtlessly, causing Hansel to fly into a rage and get violent. She was completely innocent here.

Thus, she didn’t want to saddle herself with negative feelings like guilt or shame. Now, she just wanted to be rid of the trouble caused by these two men.

However, how could Sam obey her wishes?

He had gone to great lengths to try to create opportunities to spend time with her, either through chance encounters or planned situations. Today, he had finally pierced the veil between them, so how could he let Miranda back out of this game of cat and mouse so easily?

“Mimi, you can choose to re

me, but I have the right to pursue you.”

Miranda was speechless. Did he think that this drama wasn’t hot enough?

Naturally, Hansel’s face darkened significantly at his words.

“Sam, are you pretending that I’m dead?”

Sam shrugged. “You’ve already beat me up and cursed me out. It’s time you accept reality.”

You guys can continue talking. I’ll be taking my leave first,” Miranda said.

With that, she turned to walk away.

However, Sam didn’t give her the chance. He ran after her and tried to grab her shoulder.
