Evelyn Morrison visits Anthony Grayson's office after learning about her grandfather's proposed marriage alliance. Anthony reveals he already knows the full extent of Richard Clarke's deception: Richard is legally married to Tonia, Mirabel is their biological daughter, and Evelyn's architectural talent has been exploited for years without credit or pay.
Anthony offers Evelyn a straightforward business arrangement—a marriage that will secure her inheritance and strengthen both their companies. Unlike Richard, he promises complete honesty. After hearing Richard's manipulative voicemail and realizing there is nothing left to save, Evelyn accepts Anthony's proposal.
Anthony provides her with a secure apartment in his building, where she experiences her first peaceful night's sleep in years.
