Penelope glared at Hackett, her patience worn thin:
"A misunderstanding? Hackett, after a lifettogether, am | really worth less to you than an illegitimate child?"
Hackett froze, "Illegitimate child? What are you talking about?"
"Yuna is your daughter with Zoe. Didn't know that, did you?"
"You... what are you saying? Don't just make things up!" Hackett clutched his chest, staggering as though he
might fall.
"We'll settle our issues later! You're so fond of Yuna, but do you have any idea what your daughter has been up
to? Not only did she take Marguerite's place, she also..."
Before Penelope could finish, a childish voice called out from the distance.

"Mommy!"
Everyone turned toward the sound and saw Teresa running towards them, innocence written all over her face,
with Hayes trailing behind.
Panting heavily, Teresa exclaimed:
"Mommy, why did you all chere? Hayes and | have been looking everywhere for you! You cto visit
Granny's grave without telling me! Mommy, | have something very important to tell you!"
In the midst of the chaos, Marguerite didn't want Teresa adding to the confusion.
"Sweetie, we can talk about it at home. Take Hayes and wait forin the parking lot."
But Teresa wasn't having it. With all the adults gathered, this was the perfect tto reveal the truth!
But where had her daddy gone? Without her daddy, how could she acknowledge her family? Never mind, telling
Mommy was just as good!
Ignoring whether Marguerite was willing to listen, Teresa blurted out:
"Mommy! | have to tell you, Hayes is my brother, your son! And my daddy isn't Maurice! His nis Frederick!"
The revelation was overwhelming, leaving Marguerite struggling to catch up. Her expression froze, but she
instinctively thought Teresa was spouting nonsense.
"Teresa, children shouldn't make up stories, understand?"
Teresa, red-faced with urgency, watched as Hayes hurriedly pulled out two pieces of paper and handed them to
Marguerite.
"Look, Mommy, this is the drawing | made of my brother, and Hayes looks just like him! And this, this is the
paternity test | did with Daddy Frederick. | had Hayes sneak sof his hair for it!"
Miley and Jocelyn moved closer to Marguerite, eager to see the evidence in her hands. Miley's eyes widened in
shock.
What kind of day was this? Marguerite was acknowledging her family, and here were Teresa and Hayes doing the
same? Why was everything happening all at once, sending her emotions on a roller coaster ride?
Miley couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God, it's true! | always said Hayes looked a bit like Marguerite!"
Unlike her astonishment, Penelope wore a knowing smile. She was just about to share this news when Teresa and
Hayes beat her to it. Their timing couldn't have been better, so she took the opportunity to explain:
"That's right, Hayes is Marguerite's child, and Teresa's brother."
Marguerite was confused, "But isn't Hayes Yuna's child? She had twins!"
"Twins? She only had Manley! And Manley isn't Frederick's child. Three years ago, to pass Frederick's paternity
test, she took Hayes from you! The reason | know all this is because Yuna let it slip in a moment of desperation
at the hospital!"
