She demanded.Leonardo's jaw tightened, his eyes burning with rage at the sound of her voice. "Are you out of your mind, Lillian? I thought I was clear last time. Where is my daughter?" He snapped."You have no right to raise your voice at me, Leonardo," Lillian shot back. "I’m the one in control here. What you should be doing is apologizing and asking what I want from you in exchange for your daughter."Leonardo glanced at Elliot, his eyebrows raised in inquiry. Elliot met his gaze and gave a thumbs-up, silently encouraging him as he continued to work on the computer.Leonardo turned his attention back to Lillian, determined to extend the conversation. However, he remained resolute in his refusal to apologize, convinced she had received exactly what she deserved from him."You know, Lillian, I've been wondering where you get your audacity.

She could hardly believe it."You are now a multi-millionaire," Rosalie's words reverberated in her mind, as the world around her began to blur."Am I really a multi-millionaire?" she pondered silently, skepticism creeping into her thoughts."Hayley!

"Where is Luca's restaurant, and do you have any idea why she would want to meet there?" Rosalie inquired, directing her question toward Hayley. Lost in her thoughts, Hayley shook her head. "No. I have no idea, Mom. Luca's restaurant is located in the center of the City, just a few miles from here. I think I'd be safe if I went.." "You can't go, mi reina," Leonardo interjected, his tone heavy with concern. "I have to, Leonardo. You heard what she said," Hayley replied, turning to face him. Leonardo shook his head vehemently. "There's no way you're seriously considering this..." "What choice do I have?" She corked her brows at him. "She's your foster mother, remember? She's crazier than Lillian. I didn't even realize she was Lillian's accomplice until now. Please, baby, I can't risk your safety. Wendy is too dangerous. I wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to you, mi reina.

Wendy fell silent for a few seconds, her brows deepened in a frown as she grappled with her inner thoughts. She wondered if she had heard Rosalie clearly the first time. Rosalie hadn't mentioned Hayley's name, so she may be talking about someone else. There was no way she might have found out about Hayley.Swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat, Wendy regained composure and her expression turned stoic as she turned to Rosalie. "I don't know what you're talking about, Rosalie. But I suggest you leave. I have a guest coming in soon." She said resolutely.Rosalie watched her intently, amusement dancing in her eyes as she couldn't believe the woman. Was she seriously trying to pretend like she didn't know about Hayley?

It had been three days since the court delivered its final verdict. And Lillian could attest to the fact that those days had been the most challenging of her life.They worked like lackeys in the yard, all day. She got bullied by her superiors; sometimes, she was denied dinner. While she had thought initially that she was resilient and could survive the prison life, now she was beginning to doubt her strength.

.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.

"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.
