“There is still time -” Nora's eyebrows furrow in confusion as she tries to make sense of Jay's cryptic words. His suggestion that there is still time and the mention of breaking the engagement leaves her puzzled and intrigued. Before she can inquire further, Jay continues, his voice filled with urgency."You can still break this engagement," he insists, his words hanging in the air, loaded with meaning. Nora's anger flares up, her nostrils flaring as she questions his assertion. "Why would I do that?" she retorts, her voice tinged with defiance. "Neither of you love each other, that much is true. But this engagement is merely a commitment based on my father's reputation. You shouldn't care less about it."Nora clenches her fists, her anger simmering beneath the surface as she prepares to voice her thoughts. However, before she can utter a word, a sudden movement catches her off guard. With a forceful push, the shelf behind her begins to rotate, revealing a hidden door leading to a p
Terry and Melissa are preparing to go out for lunch together. As they make their way out of the cabin, Terry receives an urgent phone call that catches his attention. His brows furrow as he focuses on the voice at the other end, and his expression quickly shifts from confusion to concern.Interrupting their plans, Terry barks into the phone, "What are you saying? Which hospital?" His tone conveys worry as he continues, "I'm coming!" Turning back to Melissa, he swiftly apologizes, saying, "I'm sorry, Melissa. We'll have to go another time!" With that, he hurries out of the cabin, leaving Melissa calling after him, desperate for an explanation. "But what happened? Can't you at least tell me?"Melissa curses under her breath, realizing she missed an opportunity to keep Terry occupied and find out what's going on. As she walks out of Terry's cabin, she coincidentally encounters Blackwood, who questions her presence. "What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to have lunch with Master
The knock on the door interrupts Jay Nashville's furious rampage, causing him to momentarily pause and turn his attention to Blackwood, who enters the room cautiously. The loyal bodyguard takes a step forward, concern etched on his face. "Master Jay, you need to relax," he advises, his voice filled with urgency.Jay, still seething with anger and frustration, feels a surge of resentment towards his father for being the catalyst of this chaotic situation. Ignoring Blackwood's words, he pushes past the loyal bodyguard, rushing out of the room with a determined stride. As he descends the stairs, he finds himself surrounded by the other guards stationed in the house.At that moment, a mischievous thought crosses Jay's mind, almost tempting him to defy everyone's expectations. A smirk tugs at the corner of his lips, but the anger within him keeps him from finding any humor in the situation. Disregarding the guards completely, he marches towards the barbecue area of the garden, his mind set
Terry's heart sinks as he surveys the burnt garden, a stark contrast to its once vibrant and flourishing state. Determined to assess the situation at the mansion, he listens intently to the guards who provide him with details of the incident. He gathers that his father must be occupied with reprimanding the men involved.Navigating through the mansion, Terry heads towards the back storage room where he expects to find his father. As he approaches, he notices Blackwood exiting the room, his cheek reddened from the slap he received earlier. Terry's face contorts with a mixture of concern and understanding, realizing that Blackwood has indeed been on the receiving end of David Nashville's anger.Curiosity and worry drive Terry to approach Blackwood, who nods once in acknowledgment before continuing on his way. Terry's voice carries a sense of urgency as he addresses him, wanting to grasp the full extent of the situation. "What happened, Blackwood?"Blackwood's expression exhibits a blend
Nora, accompanied by her father Henry, walks out after being discharged from the hospital. Surprisingly, no one from the Nashville family, not even Terry, is present to receive her. While Nora feels disappointed, she is not entirely surprised by their absence, given her strained relationship with the family."Why isn't Terry here?" Henry can't help but voice his curiosity, sensing Nora's annoyance towards the Nashville family. Nora, feeling frustrated with the entire situation, replies, "It's not like we need them, Father. Let's just go."As they step outside the hospital, Nora instructs her father to find a cab. However, a man in a black suit approaches them, politely offering them a ride in a waiting car. It becomes evident that the car has been sent from the Nashville mansion. Nora takes a moment before responding, asking, "Who sent the car?"The driver informs her that he is unaware of the sender's identity, but the instructions came directly from the mansion. Anger creases Nora's
Miranda Nashville, filled with a sense of purpose, leaves Melissa in order to have a conversation with Terry, her elder son. As she walks towards her husband's cabin, anticipation fills her, unaware of the storm that awaits her inside. Upon entering, she is met with the sight of David Nashville's face contorted with anger. His voice trembles with frustration as he exclaims, "What did you do, Miranda?" Confusion washes over Miranda's face as she responds, "What are you talking about?"David, his anger unabated, proceeds to inform her of the grave mistake she has made. “You give all the rights to your son, did you not?”It dawns on Miranda as she delves into a vivid flashback, recalling the encounter with Terry. He had approached her with a lawyer by his side, presenting her with legal documents. With an air of confidence, Terry had requested that she sign over all her rights in the company to him. At that moment, Miranda had believed that her son had a well-thought-out plan to undermi
Miranda Nashville, growing increasingly concerned for her elder son Terry, begins to suspect that his fiancée, Melissa, is deliberately keeping him from attending the family dinner. This dinner was seen as an opportunity for Melissa to further entice Terry into her web, but his absence raises alarm bells for Miranda.Feeling frustrated, Miranda excuses herself from the table and retreats to a quiet corner. She takes out her expensive iPhone and dials Terry's number, hoping for an explanation. After several rings without a response, she is forced to leave him a voicemail, her frustration evident in her voice. She then returns to her seat, a mix of worry and disappointment etched on her face.Jay, observing the situation with a self-satisfied smile, remarks, "Let me guess, he's not coming."

Miranda and Melissa sit side by side in the car, their expressions etched with concern as they delve into a discussion about Terry and Nora. The tension between them is palpable, their minds focused on the delicate situation they find themselves in."I can't help but worry, Melissa," Miranda confides, her voice laced with a hint of apprehension. "Terry's growing attachment to Nora is becoming a serious obstacle in our plan. We need to find a way to break their connection."Melissa nods in agreement, her brows furrowing with deep thought. "Yes, it's proving to be more challenging than we anticipated. Terry seems genuinely drawn to Nora, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to sway his attention away from her."Silence hangs in the air for a moment as they both ponder the situation. Miranda breaks the silence, her voice tinged with determination. "We can't let our efforts go to waste. We need to find a weakness, a crack in their relationship that we can exploit.
