Miranda nodded in agreement with Marion's assessment. "Definitely a piece of work."

She'd encountered her fair share of oddballs, but the Zade family certainly took the cake.

Eyes on the screen, Marion continued narrating the video, "That woman's always had a thing for favoring her son over her daughter. She spoiled him rotten, but now that her son can't really carry on the family name and she gets knocked around daily, her care for Adam has definitely waned. She's around him less and less. And then, someone caught Luna cozying up with the bachelor next door."

Miranda nearly choked on her water upon hearing that juicy tidbit.

Mentioning the topic whetted Marion's appetite. "But Adam found out soon enough. He couldn't handle the thought of his mom with another guy, and it drove him up the wall-he lashed out at her. With a man in the picture, Luna got a backbone. Neighbors say she doesn't even pretend to care about Adam anymore. She's even claiming she'll have another son to carry on the name. Can you believe it?"

Miranda was rendered speechless. That was really shocking.

"Who's she planning to have a son with? Her husband's been gone for ages," Marion mused, astounded and baffled.

Miranda replied, "In her mind, it doesn't matter as long as it's a son. Her thinking's so messed up, you can't even try to understand it with normal logic."

Marion was still trying to wrap his head around it.

"What do you think will happen to that mother and son?" Marion wondered aloud, scratching his chin.

Miranda glanced at the photos and videos of Adam and Luna on the tablet. A faint smile played on her lips. "When anger festers, it leads to destruction."

Marion seemed to catch Miranda's drift. He stared at the tablet for a moment before his gaze drifted to the bracelet on Miranda's wrist.
