Chapter 287
As William finished speaking, he couldn’t help but add, “It’s true what they say, ‘what goes around comes around. Ms Hawke, you’ve got your revenge after all.”
Miranda gave a faint smile. “I know, thank you for your hard work. But revenge? It still feels incomplete.”
William asked, “Is there anything you need done? With things as they are now, it can be managed seamlessly.”
Miranda interrupted, “What are you talking about? We’re law–abiding citizens.”
William felt speechless.
Miranda continued, “Alright then, keep me posted.”
William replied, “Understood.”
After putting down the phone, Miranda went back to browsing the web. Sometimes, information from online forums was quicker and more detailed than her usual sources. Maybe there would be new developments posted soon.
She now understood why Arabella had tried to crash the charity auction to find Alden that day. She had poisoned the Zades, following her usual pattern of causing trouble and then seeking protection from the Hawke family to clean up her messes. Just like when she had gotten some thug to sexually assault Sunny or pushed Cathy off the building, leaving her a vegetable. Poisoning the Zade family had been no different.
Arabella hoped Alden would help her out of this mess. She knew what kind of man he was, and maybe, after learning she wasn’t his biological daughter, he had taken some action against her too.
However, the Zade family hadn’t succumbed to the poison. Maybe she hadn’t used enough, or they were found in time and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Miranda clicked on a video showing the Zades‘ current situation by someone who had paid a visit. The video began with Luna, furiously condemning Arabella on camera.
“That heartless witch! What is my son going to do now? How is he supposed to carry on the family name? Arabella, that criminal, made my son infertile! She needs to be caught!
My son’s life is ruined because of her! What am I supposed to do now? The family line will die out because of that wench! She deserves to rot in hell!”
Luna’s face on the screen looked skeletal, pale and drained. While she was ranting in front of the camera, a loud crashing sound came from behind her.
“What are you doing, you old hag! Yelling at everyone like a madwoman! Can’t you see I’m trying to eat here?”
It was Adam, shouting angrily from the background.
As Luna heard Adam’s words, her face was a mix of embarrassment and reluctance, but she immediately hurried over to him.
“Coming, son, coming, I’ll get it for you right away.”
Adam’s impatient voice echoed again, “Hurry up!”
The camera followed Luna as she carried a bowl of oatmeal to Adam’s bedside.
Adam slapped the bowl to the ground with reddened eyes. “Do you think just because Dad’s gone and I can’t move, nobody can hit you? Even you’re against me now, huh? I want meat! What is this pig slop you’ve brought me!”
Luna tried to appease him, “We’ve run out of money, you know that. No matter what, I’m still your mom. Can you not speak to me like that?”
“So what if you’re my mom? To put nicely, you are my mother. Honestly, you’re just a tool the family used to

have kids! You’re doing this on purpose because I can’t continue the family line!“.
Luna wept, “Why would I do that? No matter what, you’re still my child.”
The video continued with Adam hurling insults at Luna. Eventually, it seemed that the person filming couldn’t take it anymore and stopped recording.
