What Lies Ahead Part 3 ch 37
At the Quartermaine mansion-Skye and Tracy were talking. "I know you are concerned about this, but this is the only way to protect the girls." "Yes, it is." "What lawyer did you call?" Tracy asked as Ric came into the room. "Did you call Ric? The lieutenant?" "Yes, Ric is a great lawyer and knows how to handle my ex-husband." "Yes, I do. What's going on?" "I want to keep my daughters from Lorenzo. I need your help legally." "What do you want me to do?" Ric asked.
At Gabriella's closet—Charlotte was at the shop, worried about the store. She liked working there with Gabriella, even though she had her own money and didn't need to work. She liked working with Gabriella and being her friend. When Gabriella came in with Lorenzo, she said, "Daddy, thanks for the ride, but I can do this on my own with Charlotte." "Yes, I know. If you need me, call me." "Thanks for lunch," Gabriella said, kissing her father goodbye. Lorenzo left, knowing something was going on—he knows his daughter. Gabriella closed the door.
"Charlotte, what's going on?" Gabriella asked. "We received packages without any items in them, and the mail is piling up. Gabriella, what is going on?" "I owe you the truth about the store. It affects you too. I like working with you. I never really had a friend until I found you." "I feel the same way. We had a similar childhood." "Yes, we did. My family doesn't know about this. The store is in financial distress. I got in over my head," Gabriella said.
At Christy's—Christy was at home in bed with Lila Rae. They have been having a secret relationship. "Christy, I'm thinking we finally tell our family the truth." "I think so too. We have nothing to hide." "No, we don't, and there's nothing to be ashamed of." "No."
At the Quartermaine mansion—Skye and Ric were finishing up their meeting. "You know Lorenzo isn't going to handle this well," Ric said as he took a sip of water. "I need to keep my daughters safe, and I will do that. I'm not scared of Lorenzo," Skye said as she took a sip of water. Her cellphone rang. "Speaking of the devil, Lorenzo. What do you want?" Skye asked as she hung up the phone. "What is it?" she asked. "Something's going on with my daughter Gabriella. I must go. Ric, thank you for this," she said. "You're welcome. I understand why you want to do this," Ric said as he got up. "Do you have regrets that we didn't continue our relationship?" Ric asked. "Some, but I don't regret my children." "No, of course not," Ric replied.
