What happened was an accident!
I'm sure not even God wanted it to happen!
What happened?
How come you suddenly stopped communicating with me?
I think it would be best for both of us
if we spend some time apart.
Here you go, dear.
The case against you has been dismissed.
Would you know where Daddy had that made?
I'm planning to give Ma'am Georgina a replica.
It'll be my way of apologizing to and thanking her.
- Yes? - Hello! Are you Mister Victor?
I'd like to have this ring replicated.
How's your father doing?
Is that model your mom?
You know who my mother is?
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[AVEL] Be strong, dear.
You're a brave girl, and don't you ever forget it.
Perhaps...
Someday, your mother will meet you.
Make sure that when that happens,
you've already made a name for yourself.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
Melanie.
Here's the ring you had duplicated.
The delivery guy just dropped it off.
[AVEL] Prove to her that she was wrong.
- [SNIFFLES] - [YOUNG MELANIE SNIFFLES]
That she made a mistake by not valuing you.
[DULCE] I hope this helps you
get back on Georgina's good side.
And I hope...
that you both would be able to recover from whatever damage
this whole thing has caused.
- [AVEL] Show her... - [YOUNG MELANIE SNIFFLING]
that you can become successful even without her around...
[BREATHES LABORIOUSLY]
and that you will never, ever need her.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
[FOOTSTEPS LEAVING]
[SOBS]
Oh! Trees with gypsophilas.
Lovely.
Isn't it?
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
That's Dave Sandoval,
and he promised me an unforgettable wedding.
Well, tell Dave to decorate the place
with more flowers to mask the stench of your past
and to get rid
- of Steve's doubts about you. - [SIGHS DEEPLY]
For the record,
Steve has forgiven me for that Melanie scandal.
So please zip it. Never bring it up again.
I know one thing Steve will not forgive you for.
You know, you can be so annoying, Mac.
[INHALES DEEPLY, SIGHS SHARPLY]
We don't have to worry about Melanie.
That girl is gone for good. We'll never see her again.
That's exactly why I agreed to withdraw the case.
Because I knew...
that Chris was going to end things with Melanie.
So...
[INHALES DEEPLY, SIGHS SHARPLY]
We don't have to worry about her.
I don't have to deal with her again.
But imagine...
If Chris hadn't broken things off with her... [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHING] you and your daughter might eventually become in-laws!
Keep it down. Somebody might hear you.
[MAC WHISPERING] Oh my god!
[GEORGINA] What are you doing here?
What?!
[MELANIE] I didn't come here to start a fight.
In fact, I wanted to bury the hatchet with you.
But now, I think...
I think I just want answers.
I firmly believe that when a person does something bad,
they have to pay for it.
- [GEORGINA STOMPS FOOT] - I was not raised by my grandma
and my dad, for that matter,
to be someone who runs away from her mistakes
and responsibilities.
We already withdrew the case, didn't we?
What else do you want?
Is this you asking for forgiveness?
I forgive you.
- Here. - [GASPS]
You really like this, right?
That's what you told my grandma, right?
- [GEORGINA BREATHES HEAVILY] - [EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[GEORGINA] I'm good.
I'm okay.
You don't have to. It's okay.
I'm sorry I can't give you the original
because it's very important to me, my grandma,
and especially my dad.
I had the ring you like duplicated.
Now, I'm giving it to you as a peace offering.
I want to apologize for everything I did to you.
O-Okay!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Just...
[WHISPERS] Just go!
Just go now.
I already apologized and owned up to my mistakes.
What about you?
Are you really not going to stop?
Is it really that hard to admit it?
Is it really so hard to own up to
and take responsibility for something you did?
What do you want from me?!
Really?
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Really?!
[MELANIE SOBS]
Guard.
Guard, please help us here.
- Please... - [MELANIE] No need for that.
I'm leaving.
- [EMOTIONAL MUSIC CONTINUES] - [FOOTSTEPS LEAVING]
[CHRIS] I'm... I-I'm sorry if I hurt you before.
I had to concentrate on SFX
so I prioritized my commitment to Papa
over our relationship.
You left Melanie for your father...
because he hates her.
My father thinks
that Melanie is all what you and Georgina painted her to be.
But the fact is...
I didn't choose Papa this time around.
Because I chose to save Melanie.
I-I'm sorry if I didn't love you the way I love Melanie.
[MOROSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [MICHAEL] I saw you earlier. - [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You were talking to Georgina.
The case against you has been dropped.
What else do you want?
Is it Chris?
I love your son, sir.
And I understand why he did what he did.
But what I don't understand
is why Georgina has yet to express remorse
and pay for what she has done.
I assure you...
Georgina will face the consequences of her actions
once it's proven that, uh, she intentionally ruined your name.
This is no longer about that, Sir Michael.
This is about what Georgina did wrong
as a mother.
What are you talking about?
I'm Georgina's daughter.
You're insane!
I'll prove to you that I'm telling the truth.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[GEORGINA] Steve...
You're that something better

Let me give you my heart.

you love unconditionally.

[GEORGINA BREATHES NERVOUSLY]
Melanie...
Don't embarrass yourself here.
Please. Just go home.
[MICHAEL] No.
I want to hear what she has to say.
What's going on, Pa?
[MELANIE]I'm Georgina's daughter.
She left me in my dad's care,
turned her back on me,
and went on with her life as if I never existed.
Then, when she found out that I was the child she abandoned,
she did everything she possibly could
to make sure I get fired from your company.
I need a background check done.
Georgina De Silva.
I need all the information you can get about her
before the wedding.
Now I understand why you wanted to get rid of me.
You did the same thing to me back then.
I'm that daughter you turned your back on.
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm that daughter you refuse to recognize!
You have such a beautiful ring.
Where'd you buy this?
[DULCE] Oh, I didn't buy this.
This belonged to my son.
His name's Avel.
He is Melanie's father.
You left me in Papa's care.
But what I don't understand is why!
Did Papa do something against you?
I'd understand it if you didn't love him.
But why'd you have to get rid of me too?!
Why'd you have to abandon me too?!
I have to find a way to get rid of her
again.
And do you know what the worst part is?!
It's that when you found out who I was,
you did everything in your power to destroy me!
Why?!
Do you not feel even an ounce of regret?!
Do you not have any conscience?!
What kind of person are you?!
Are you really that heartless?!
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Oh, I know.
You were afraid
that if they found out what kind of person you truly are,
you'd lose everything you have now!
Melanie! Stop!
Please!
Enough with your lies!
- Enough! - [MICHAEL] No, Georgina!
Enough with your lies!
Enough.
Melanie is telling the truth.
I hired a private investigator
to do a background check on her.
When I got nothing, I thought Melanie was telling a lie
again.
Then, I...
...received this document just now.
No, that's not true. [SOBS]
- Georgina gave birth... - [GEORGINA SOBS]
...at New Life Medical Clinic
- on April 12, 1991... - [GEORGINA BREATHING HEAVILY]
...to a baby girl.
-Is that your birthday, Melanie? - [HEAVY BREATHING CONTINUES]
Stop! Stop.
No! That's not true. That's not...
Uncle Michael, no! That's not true.
Please do not believe her.
Should we ask you to undergo a DNA maternity test?
Is that what you want?!
[HEAVY BREATHING CONTINUES]
[GEORGINA] Why are you doing this?
- [MICHAEL] Georgina, come on. - What are you doing?!
[MICHAEL] The least you can do is save whatever is left
of your dignity.

Admit the truth, Georgina.

I was...

I chose to do what was right.

That's my Grandma Dulce, and that's my dad.
[GEORGINA] How about your mom?
[MELANIE] To be honest, I never really met her.
Daddy also never told me anything about her.
Well, I guess that's understandable.
I mean, we wouldn't want to force people to accept us
if they want nothing to do with us, anyway, right?
- I'm sorry. - [MUSIC STOPS]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry if I can't accept your father's offer.
I just have a lot of bad memories from that place,
and I want to forget them.
Besides, I don't want to follow in Georgina's footsteps.
I want to forge my own path.
I want an achievement I can call my own.
You know, after everything that happened,
I know I'll be able to do that.
I'll be able to do anything.
[CHRIS] But what about your mom?

Why won't you give your mom a chance?!
Will you please stay out of this?!
This is between Georgina and I!
Are you really that calloused? Are you?!
You already won, right?
You don't have to prove anything to her anymore!
[CHRIS BREATHES LOUDLY]
When will you learn to forgive?
Do you think it's that easy?!
Just because you've patched things up with your dad,
doesn't mean the same thing will happen to everyone else!
I just want you to be happy, Melanie...
I am happy!
Do I have to keep telling you that?!
I'm happy that I've finally put that woman in her place!
- [MELANIE BREATHING HEAVILY] - [CHRIS EXHALES DEEPLY]

Investing on Georgina is very risky.
Would you like the same thing to happen to you?
I just really need to go back to fashion design.
People still have a negative perception of you right now.
When are you reaching out to your mom?
Not this again, Grandma.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Come on, Melanie. It's been two years.
Your mother's already buried in debt. She's ruined.
Why do you care about Georgina?
