"Gran, don't say that. I've spent enough time with Merritt to know he's got a good heart. He must've been tricked that time."
Unbeknownst to them, Merritt had quietly returned and was now standing at the kitchen doorway.
He heard every word they said.
Peace reigned here.
Meanwhile, Vista Town was in utter chaos.
At the Ferguson Mansion, Dailey waited for Nelly to wake up, asking Abigail to give her some water and a bit of food.
Without probing, he simply said, âRest up,â before leaving her room.
Nelly didnât press the matter either.
Dailey then went downstairs, grabbed his coat, and was ready to leave when Jayne stopped him, whispering, âIs the wedding still on?â
The wedding dress was ordered, and the invitations were written, ready to be sent out.
But then, out of nowhere, Nelly had her crisis.
Dailey left them hanging with two words: âItâs off,â before striding away.
Back at Christine Apartments, Dailey inquired about Christine from Primo.
Primo said, âMs. Jackson hasnât left her place since she got back.â
Dailey glanced at Christineâs door and then went back to his own apartment.
The next morning, he tried to deliver breakfast, but no one answered the door despite the long wait.
Thinking Christine was ignoring him, he was surprised when no delivery showed up by noon.
Knowing Christine doesnât cook, it was unlikely she wouldnât order food.
Worried about her, he had no choice but to use the passcode to enter.
The place was empty.
Primo was shocked.
âItâs the end of my career,â he thought.
âI saw Ms. Jackson come home with my own eyes.â
They were on the 22nd floor, so escaping through the window was impossible.
Dailey immediately checked the security footage.
Indeed, there was someone resembling Christine in the footage.
Primo realized the mistake only after reviewing the footage.
But this wasnât the time for that.
Dailey ordered, âFind out where she went.â
Primo immediately set out with his team.
Meanwhile, Dailey headed to Elmwood Villas.
This was Gregory and Janeâs usual workout time.
Interrupted, Gregory came out looking as if he could wring water from his scowl.
Dailey was straightforward, âHas Christine been here?â
Gregoryâs response was icy, âNo.â
Dailey turned and left.
So much time had passed; Christine could have left the country by now.
He had to hurry, or it would become even more difficult to find her.
His greatest fear wasnât that Christine was avoiding him.
It was the possibility of something bad happening to her.
âYouâre causing a ruckus.â
Normand rebuked, âFor one woman, youâve turned the Clarkson family upside down, and now you disregard us all?â
âDailey, you may think youâve grown wings, but theyâre not strong enough yet.â

Normandâs voice grew louder, his frustration over the recent events making him lose control.
Finally, Caldwell and Madge joined in, bewildered by Daileyâs question.
Madge said, âYouâve already broken up with her. Why should we continue this?â
âWe never aimed to target her.â
Ignoring them, Dailey headed upstairs to find Nelly.
