"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.

Sitting in the police station, Jay Nashville's frustration grows as he awaits his brother's arrival. He seethes with anger, unable to comprehend why he is being held in custody for a mere case of overspeeding.In his mind, a ticket and a stern warning would have sufficed, but the officers' behavior seemed intent on provoking him further.“Where is your family, lover boy?” the first officer taunts Jay, while the second officer joins in, mocking, “Perhaps they are busy partying somewhere.”Their laughter only fuels Jay's anger, causing his fists to clench and his teeth to grind. He shoots them deadly stares, his frustration mounting with every passing moment.The officers continue their mockery, belittling Jay as nothing more than a nonchalant son of a wealthy man named David Nashville. The mention of his father sets Jay off, and he erupts in a burst of anger, spitting out, “You just keep my father’s name out of your fucking mouth!” The officers, surprised and annoyed, react swiftly,
Terry Nashville, concerned about his younger brother's vulnerability to their father's schemes, emphasizes the importance of punctuality and vigilance. Addressing Jay, he asserts, "You gotta be punctual if you want to stay strong in your position against our father, do you understand me? You can't just give him a chance to trap you."Jay comprehends Terry's point, offering a simple nod, and promptly gets out of bed, heading towards the bathroom to prepare for the day. Meanwhile, Terry descends the stairs and encounters Melissa on his way out. Her sweet voice attempts to charm him, but he brushes off her glares and replies, "Yeah, I went to Jay. I am just leaving."Melissa asks, “are you free for lunch today?” Terry realizes he has been avoiding her for some time and decides it would be impolite to continue doing so. He agrees to the lunch invitation, saying, "Alright, Melissa. We will go." After their brief conversation, he departs from the mansion.Outside, Terry pauses as Blackwood
Once Melissa leaves the mansion, Karen and Nora find themselves alone in the living room.

With a scoff, she retorts, "Oh, now... you think so highly of yourself." Pausing briefly, she continues her verbal assault, "Are you starting to consider yourself as Miranda Nashville?"Nora, feeling a mix of frustration and determination, turns around to face Karen. Her voice carries a quiet strength as she responds, "No, Karen. Trust me, my intentions are not to become cruel like any of them."Karen's annoyance escalates, and without warning, she raises her hand in a fit of anger, delivering a tight slap to Nora's face. Shocked and in pain, Nora exclaims, "What the hell!"Karen's aggression doesn't subside as she continues to lash out, repeatedly slapping Nora, who can only cry out for help. The sound of the com

The force of her words pierces through the air, causing Karen's terror to intensify. She lifts her head, her eyes meeting Miranda's gaze, her expression a mix of terror and helplessness.

The silence hangs heavy in the room, pregnant with the weight of Nora's decision. Terry's voice breaks through the stillness, his question hanging in the air like a dormant storm. "Does anyone have a punishment in mind for Karen?" he asks, his words met with a resounding silence. Frustration and resignation intertwine as he utters, "Now, no one will say anything..." His gaze turns towards his wife, Nora, as he places the burden of judgment upon her. "Nora, it is based upon your decision. She did wrong with you, now you decide what I should do with her?"With crossed hands behind his back, Terry gestures to Blackwood, the imposing figure of the house manager, who obediently drags Karen closer to Nora's feet. In that moment, Karen's fate rests upon the single decision Nora is about to make. As she covers her tear-stained face with a scarf, her trembling voice breaks the silence.
