But everything changes when Isabella overhears Hailey saying she could never forgive her mother. That evening,

Isabella sits down with Hailey, who tearfully confesses that her grandmother, Martha, told her that Stan isn’t her real father because she doesn’t look like him. Martha had convinced Hailey that Isabella cheated on Stan, planting deep doubts in the young girl’s mind.Devastated by the accusation and furious at her mother-in-law for manipulating her daughter, Isabella calmly reassures Hailey, explaining that she and Stan are Hailey’s biological parents. She offers to do a DNA test to prove it, knowing that the damage is already done. Hailey, anxious, agrees, relieved by her mother’s reassurances.Later, Isabella tells Stan everything, and he is equally enraged by his mother’s cruelty. He supports Isabella’s decision to order a DNA test, not because they need proof, but to give Hailey the closure she needs. The results, expected in a week, will confirm that Stan is Hailey’s father,
