Lucy cleared her throat to get everyone's attention at the dining after they had eaten for some time and all eyes turned to her in surprise since she wasn't usually one to initiate a conversation or even contribute much during conversations. Tom raised a brow as he looked at her, wondering what she wanted to say since she had not told him anything about addressing his family. "I would like to address everyone since we are gathered here right now. I wouldn't want to disturb everyone by calling you out…-

Evelyn woke up earlier than usual the following morning, and got out of bed, ready to start her day. Regardless of the circumstances, it wasn't every day she had the rare opportunity of having all her kids together at the same time under her roof. It had been such a long time since they all visited this way, and in as much as she was mourning her late father-in-law and friend, she knew she had to make sure her family was well taken care of. She sent one of the housekeepers to go inform everyone in…

By the time Lucy returned upstairs to Tom's bedroom, he had freshened up and waiting for her to join him in bed. "You haven't had dinner yet. I brought you some of the sandwiches Samantha packed us earlier," Lucy said as she walked over to the bed with a tray containing the sandwich and a glass of soy milk. "Milk?" Tom asked in amusement since he couldn't remember the last time he drank milk. "Yep. It should help you sleep well," Lucy said and pointed to the tray after she carefully placed it on…

"What?" Evelyn, Bryan, and Jade exclaimed simultaneously after Desmond told them what Kimberly had said about Dawn being Lawrence's daughter. Desmond had asked Kimberly to leave and give them time to think about all she had said so they could decide on what to do. And she had told him she would remain in Heden until a decision was reached and maybe until Lawrence's funeral since she was reluctant to go face her family. "Is this supposed to be a bad joke or what?" Bryan asked incredulously. "Please…

Seeing Kimberly there, different thoughts ran through Tom's mind at the same time, and glancing at his father who was staring at Kimberly in disbelief, Tom suspected that they were having the exact same thought. It couldn't be coincidence that they had just been informed of Lawrence's daughter who would be visiting and here was Kimberly. How could Kimberly be his grandfather's daughter? It did not make any sense. Or maybe it was not entirely nonsense seeing how Dawn looked like him. It could that the…

The moment their flight touched down at the airport some hours later, two cars were already waiting to take them home. Tom and Lucy got into one, while Bryan, Sonia, and Jade got into the other. It had been a very silent trip since neither of them had been in the mood to talk. While Tom, Bryan, and Jade were still in a daze at the sudden loss of their grandfather, Lucy was still busy blaming herself for being responsible for the old man's death, while Sonia was doing her best not to get sick since…

"I can't understand. This is all so sudden. He didn't look so frail last week when we all had dinner together. How could he die just like that?" Jade asked Bryan in disbelief as tears rolled down her cheeks while Bryan just sat where he was staring straight ahead of them. His last conversation with his grandfather had been just the previous day when his grandfather called to congratulate him and Sonia, and to ask what they wanted for their wedding gift. Before that he had called the moment he heard…

After his phone call with his father, Tom decided to return Kimberly's call and find out why she had been calling, and just as soon as the call connected, his office door opened and Harry walked in wearing a glum expression. "What's wrong?" Tom asked Harry with a frown before he heard Kimberly's sob. Harry said nothing as he turned on the television in Tom's office, and Tom's brows pulled together when he saw the headline on the screen. EX-PRESIDENT, LAWRENCE HANK, DEAD! Without speaking with…

"How do you feel?" Tom asked Lucy as they had lunch together in his office after the show since they had skipped breakfast because they had been too focused on the live show. "Great! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder, and I can finally breathe now," Lucy admitted, and Tom nodded. He understood that feeling. He was feeling very much relieved himself, too, now that Rebekah Miller and her family had been taken care of. "That's good," Tom said and picked up his phone when it started…

As the police led Rebekah away, Jade didn't wait to see the reaction of either Tiffany or Bernice to what their mother had just said about their paternity. Instead, she signaled to Candace so they would leave since she had to be at the station, too, when Rebekah was brought in. "Good show," Candace told Jade as they both walked outside, and Jade smiled when she sighted the swarm of reporters who had gathered in front of the building and were now throwing questions at Rebekah Miller, who was in…
