Tegan sneaked up behind the crowd at Uriah's door, only to see Miriam violently beating Uriah like a madwoman.

She clutched a pillow, smashing it against Uriah's body in a frenzy.

She kept cursing, "You shameless family! Are you blind? Every single woman in your family is a slut!"

Uriah's face was livid, a terrifying hostility rolling off him.

Helena hurried forward to stop Miriam, but she ended up catching a few sharp slaps across the face.

Her head felt like it was splitting open.

Miriam had completely lost her mind. The thought of Quintessa in bed with Gideon pushed her over the edge.

And Quintessa had constantly been visiting the Gills family!

Unable to return home to deal with them right now, Miriam unleashed all her fury on Uriah.

Tegan watched the usually well-behaved girl snap, feeling a jolt of shock.

Uriah caught Miriam's wrist in a vise grip. "Enough."

Miriam snapped back, "Enough? What's enough? Your own sister treats you like a husband and drove away your future wife!"

"And now your cousin is stealing someone else's husband. It's Gideon's wedding day, and she climbed into his bed last night!"

"If your entire family isn't shameless, then what are you?"

Miriam's mouth fired off like a machine gun, blasting Uriah with every word.

Uriah felt a throbbing headache coming on.

Miriam continued, "You tell me to shut up? You won't let me speak? Leslie plays the innocent victim right under your nose, and you still call her pure."

At the mention of Leslie, Uriah's face sank completely. "Shut up!"

"I won't! What, am I wrong? Let me tell you, Uriah, I am not done with the Horner family."

Miriam was past the point of reason, no longer caring that Leslie was Uriah's absolute bottom line.

"You treat a sister better than your own girlfriend. You know why your sisters are so shameless? You enable them."

"Quintessa is so blatantly awful because she learned it from Leslie. Leslie is shameless, and you don't stop her. So she acts the exact same way. Now all the women in your family are just as despicable."

The onlookers watching the drama unfold were stunned. That was quite the bombshell.

Tegan watched in silence.

Never underestimate a quiet girl. When pushed to the brink, she was a total powerhouse, and her insults were razor-sharp!

Uriah found it hard to breathe.

"And then there's Helena," Miriam spat. Your distant cousin, right? She nts as part of the Horner family.

too,

doesn't she?"

"Look at this. Every single woman hovering around you has no shame. Do you just

like shameless women?"

"No wonder Tegan dumped you. She actually has some self-respect!"

Tegan paused.

Well, thank you...

Miriam wasn't wrong. Tegan did have spect, and she certainly

couldn't stomach the weird dynamic

between urlah and

and Leslie

Suddenly dragged into the crossfire, Helena's eyes welled with tears. "Miriam, how

could you say that about me?"

"What? Leslie and Uriah have some

twiste relationship and you want to

marly him yet

o act like you and"

Leslie are best friends."

"You're the biggest fake of them all. You're the absolute queen of two-faced hypocrites."

In her fit of rage, Miriam was firing shots at anyone in sight.

And she even went hands-on with Uriah again...

After venting her frustration, she didn't feel any better, but she also didn't want to look at Uriah for another second.

She ruthlessly smashed the pillow into Uriah's face one last time, then spun on her heel and stormed out of the hospital room.

As she walked away, she tossed over her shoulder, "You shameless bastards. I'm going to make you pay. Just you wait."

There was no way Miriam could swallow this insult.

Even though Gideon's mother didn't like her, she and Gideon were about to get married.

Yet Quintessa, who always visited the Gills family, had climbed into Gideon's bed at this exact moment.

This was far from over!

Uriah's head pounded relentlessly. "Stop right there."

Damn it, what else was she planning to do?
