As the CEO of the ACS Group, he was compelled to address the swirling rumors about Hayley's supposed embezzlement of company funds. The board of executives was already feeling confused and anxious about the situation. Many were frustrated with Leonardo for his prolonged absence, having returned only a few days prior. Some even conspired to remove him from his position, questioning his competence. But they should have known better. Leonardo was quick to identify those behind the conspiracy and chose to dismiss them immediately, intending to use it as a lesson for the others, who were also secretly working against him. The fallout from previous executive issues had already served as a warning, prompting the remaining executives to stay clear of trouble. They knew that Leonardo was a formidable and ruthless boss who did not rely on their support to steer the company back on course. His wealth

As Hayley prepared to leave for Rosalie's office soon, she tried to calm her unraveling nerves as she stood in front of the mirror, taking in her reflection. The strain of the recent rumors had visibly affected her, causing her to look somewhat haggard. In the past few days, she could barely sleep well, eat, or even think properly as she was still consumed by Rosalie's impending verdict.Madam Rosalie had promised to investigate and confirm if Hayley had told her the truth. Though Hayley was confident she hadn't lied to Rosalie, she worried that unforeseen complications could arise. Cassidy had it out for her and Hayley knew she wouldn't stop until she saw her evicted from the retreat. That was the sole reason she had made up those false rumors about her. She knew Cassidy was trying to get payback for Adrian.Exhaling exasperatedly, Hayley snapped to reality as she noticed someone walk into the cozy room that served as hers. She turned to face the other side and she saw it was Kimberl

"What?"Hayley thought she must have misheard Rosalie the first time. Confusion was evident on her face as she mirrored Rosalie's intense gaze.Her eyes fixed on hers, Rosalie nodded in affirmation as she tapped the documents on the desk. "I understand your astonishment, my dear. But it's all in here." Hayley blinked in confusion, struggling to comprehend the absurdity in her words. "What? What are you talking about?"All her life, she had always believed she lost her real parents in a fatal car accident many years ago, or at least, that was what Wendy had made her believe when she was a kid. As she grew older, she dismissed the idea of searching for her real parents, thinking it was pointless. But now, she felt a surge of confusion as she continued staring into the eyes of this woman who looked so much like her. What was going on?Rosalie attempted to explain. "Calm down, Nina. Let me explain, alright?"Hayley's heart raced wildly, her breaths coming in short pants like she was havi

Recognizing the determination in Madam Rosalie's voice, Hayley lifted her gaze to meet her captivating blue eyes. She observed Rosalie in silence for a moment, absorbing the revelation she had just received. Hayley was wrestling with the reality of her situation, piecing together her fragmented story. It made sense that Wendy’s vendetta had stemmed from someone else, but she never imagined that person would be her own father. The fact that this all occurred so many years ago only deepened her confusion and frustration. Why couldn’t Wendy just forgive and move on? Seeking revenge against her when all she had done was be the daughter of Wendy’s adversary was just utterly irrational.Taking a deep breath, Hayley attempted to compose her chaotic mind."I understand if you need some time to process this. Take all the time you need, my dear, I'm here," Rosalie said gently, her soft hand covering Hayley’s on the desk, pulling her from her thoughts. "But I want you to know how truly happy I a

"In trying to protect one, you profoundly hurt another."Leonardo had just returned to his home study after a hectic day at the office. He had a meeting with Massimo earlier, and with his board of executives as well. They were all pleased by his bold actions, well, except Ivy, whose concern for Hayley was palpable."Do you realize the dangers she'll face now after this? You think Lillian is going to be cool with this...?" Ivy was halted."I really don't care, Ivy!"

Emily said, her tone softening. "I’m truly happy for you, Hayley. Like, genuinely thrilled and amazed. Who would have thought that that woman would turn out to be your mother? This is so awesome..."

.Hayley returned to the hospital after delivering the lawsuit documents to the wardress at Wendy's prison. Approximately an hour prior, the prosecutor, Alexa, who was overseeing Hayley's case, had provided her with the papers following their meeting. Hayley then drove to the prison, where Wendy and Lillian were incarcerated, and handed the documents to the wardress, choosing not to visit any of them. That was the least of her concerns; her only interest in seeing them was during the court proceedings, where the judge would render his final decision. With a sigh of frustration, Hayley pulled herself back to the present as she made a right turn onto the highway, heading towards the hospital. She recalled that the love of her life remained unconscious when she left earlier, and a wave of anxiety washed over her as she wondered if he had awakened from the coma.

Her heart ached painfully as she grappled with the reality. How could this be? How did this happen? She felt a pang of guilt constrict her heart tightly, knowing she was mostly responsible for the unfortunate circumstance that had befallen her daughter. If she hadn't gotten herself in trouble in the first place, none of this would have happened. With that, her cries intensified as she remained on the ground. "I'm very sorry, ma'am," The wardress tried to sympathize, her tone laden with pity. But that did little to console Wendy, whose thoughts were all over the place. Meanwhile, Lillian had also been shocked upon he

Hayley headed out of the hospital as soon as she received the news about Freya's capture.

Hayley was quite surprised by the speed of the development, however, that was the least of her concerns at that moment. A blend of satisfaction and annoyance brimmed within her as she headed out to the awaiting car, parked in the hospital lot. She had nearly forgotten Emily was trailing behind her until Emily's voice sailed into her ears, pulling Hayley from her thoughts. "Where are you going, Hayley? Who was it on the phone?"

Hayley made her way to the restroom section of the hospital and leaned against the door once she stepped inside. Her heart raced, stirred by memories of her confrontation with Clara.Painful tears stung her eyes despite her efforts to remain composed and resolute. She felt she didn't deserve to cry. If anyone ought to shed tears, it should be Clara, not herself. She hadn't done anything wrong.With this resolve, Hayley sniffled back her emotions, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand before heading towards the sink to wash her face. She stared at her reflection in the mirror afterward, her chest heaving. She drew in a deep breath and exhaled before further questioning herself if she had been too harsh on Clara or if she truly deserved what she got from her. Her thoughts were disrupted as the door to the bathroom swung open, startling Hayley. Without moving an inch, Hayley caught a glimpse of the person who had just walked in through the mirror and saw it was Emily."Hey, ar

Meanwhile, Clara watched in silence as she absorbed the affectionate scene unfolding before her. Occasionally, her gaze would trail from the newfound couple to Hayley, who watched with enthusiasm and joy. Clara felt her heart pricked painfully, once again remembering that she and Hayley were no longer friends. And it was all her fault. She literally betrayed Hayley. Abandoned her when she needed her the most and turned her back to her in her times of trial and peril. She wondered if Hayley was ever going to forgive her for her actions.Sure, she had only acted out because she didn't like the way Hayley's deception affected Adrian. But recognizing Hayley's other predicament with Wendy and Lillian, she had now come to understand why Hayley had lied to them about her identity in the first place. She was obviously running from something and just didn't want to get entangled with her past again. It was unfortunate that Leonardo had just shown up to thwart those plans of Hayley.Reflecting
