Uriah had never seen this wild, unhinged side of Miriam before.
"Stop my ass. Stand there yourself if you want. I'm not keeping you company," Miriam shot back.
Uriah was speechless.
Helena stood there in stunned silence.
Wiping her tears and sniffling, Miriam stormed out of the room and immediately spotted Tegan. A lump formed in her throat, and fresh tears spilled over.
"Tegan."
Hearing her call out for Tegan, Uriah, who was still fuming, immediately shot to his feet.
Just as he was about to step out of the room, Helena grabbed onto his arm. "Uriah."
"Let go."
He ruthlessly shook Helena off.
Stepping out of the room, he saw Miriam throwing herself into Tegan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Those shameless jerks are bullying me," Miriam cried. "I'm going to make them pay, I swear."
Uriah's headache worsened.
She had stormed into his room, beaten the crap out of him and Helena, and now she was the one acting wronged?
Tegan looked up, her eyes locking onto Uriah's.
Tegan gently patted Miriam's back. "Let's go."
"Yeah, let's get out of here."
Miriam sniffled, obediently following Tegan's lead.
The moment they turned around, Uriah chased after them, a fierce, imposing energy radiating from him.
The second he stepped out, the crowd of onlookers by the door quickly scattered.
He closed the distance in a few long strides and grabbed Tegan's wrist. "Tegan, we need to talk."
"Talk about what? Aren't you too busy treating your sister like a precious treasure? Go treasure her for the rest of your life. We have nothing to say to you."
Miriam fired off before Tegan could even open her mouth.
"Shut up!" Uriah snapped.
"I won't shut up! How many years have you been obsessed with her? If she's so precious, why don't you just marry her?"
