When Melissa attends her late husband Mark’s mother Kara’s birthday party, she’s met with hostility and cold jabs. Kara eventually kicks her out in front of everyone. Humiliated, Melissa leaves—only to get a frantic call from Mark’s niece, Emma. She reveals Kara is hiding something: Melissa was actually the rightful heir to Eleanor’s business, Mark’s late grandmother. Kara found out just before the party and was conspiring with a lawyer to forge documents and steal the inheritance.

With her own attorney, Melissa returns to confront Kara. In front of stunned guests, the corrupt lawyer admits the truth. Kara explodes but is swiftly shut down by legal threats. As the crowd turns against her, Kara collapses in defeat.

Melissa walks away with more than just justice—she walks away knowing Eleanor had always believed in her. And with Emma by her side, she’s ready to carry on the legacy left in her care.
