Odilea's father, unable to bear it any longer, stood up and shouted at her, "I have endured your mother's infidelity for years. When she left, I raised you alone without any assistance. I refrained from remarrying to avoid introducing a stranger into your lives. I shielded you from mistakes, protecting you, regardless of your desires."
Odilea responded, "But I love my husband."
Tom countered, "A person sacrifices everything for family, and I did. Now it's your turn. Sacrifice for me and your brother."
Then, he left.
Odilea called her husband, but he abruptly ended the call, leaving her in tears.
The next morning, he returned, momentarily lifting her spirits. However, he informed her that he had come to retrieve his belongings and leave the house.
Odilea pleaded desperately, her cries echoing throughout the house. In front of everyone, she confronted her father, while Adrian departed.
Meanwhile, Lily, seated in her office, received an unexpected visit from Olivia, who offered assistance in reuniting her with her estranged daughter.
Lily hesitated, stating, "But you won't take anything in return. I offered you the chance to return my daughter before, and you refused."
Olivia assured, "And here she is back with you."
Lily remarked, "Harry brought her back."
Olivia countered, "You know who she is, but I offer you her love. A boy's love is worth nothing in this world."
Lily insisted, "I will not learn from this."
Olivia continued, "Even when my daughter lost hope, I brought you so that you could be a sister to her."
Lily retorted, "You mean you bought a toy."
Olivia clarified, "Don't do this. I did this to improve your life and my daughter's life. What if Sarah had stayed with you? Would she live with the undesirable Vincent?"
Lily asserted, "I would have worked for her."
Olivia defended, "Don't joke. Now Sarah has grown up in a beautiful, comfortable, and happy home thanks to me."
Lily accused, "You only care about yourself."
Olivia pleaded, "You're wrong. I care about my daughter and you as well. I can do anything for her. Let go of this revenge so our daughters don't get hurt."
Lily argued, "You started it."
Olivia concluded, "But the end is in your hands. I will help you win back your daughter and leave with her."
Lily questioned, "What about Harry? Did you leave him?"
Olivia declared, "My daughter is more important."
Then she left.
Lily contemplated Olivia's words, discussed it with Carol, and decided to disclose the truth to her daughter. She called Sarah, attempting to meet her. Sarah resisted, but Lily insisted, emphasizing that the matter concerned them all: Lily, Sarah, and Harry.
Odilea met her mother, crying in her arms. Her mother tried to comfort her. When Tom approached, he took his daughter away and ordered her to stay away. However, Eliza brought her back, and accusations flew until she accused him of assaulting Lily Rose. Odilea pleaded for him to stay away from her daughter and not ruin her life as he did with Lily Rose. She implored him to save her marriage.
Odilea spent the entire day with her mother, reluctant to return home. Her mother encouraged her to stay to resolve the hindering problems.
After George insulted Adrian, revealing his lesser status as an employee, tensions escalated in the company.
