Goodbye to the Ball and Chain; Hello to Me
While Estelle Stafford is waiting in the emergency room in a bloodied state, Nathaniel Lockhart and Kathleen Lockhart are with Nathaniel's first love, Lynette Jefferson. In the end, Estelle decides to divorce Nathaniel.
Everyone mocks her for shamelessly clinging to Nathaniel, but none of them know that Estelle is actually the rumored genius jewelry designer. She's also "L", the famed trader of Wells Street.
Even her name is included in the list of suppliers who can provide the specific medicine that Nathaniel has been searching everywhere for to cure Lynette's illness.
After they've gotten divorced, Nathaniel claims that Estelle is just doing this to gain his attention, while Kathleen says that she's just making things difficult for herself. Everyone's waiting to see Estelle make a fool of herself.
But then a simple sketch of a wedding ring that Estelle drew without much thought is auctioned off at a sky-high price, and an aircraft belonging to the Allied Nations medical team lands at Lockhart Manor to pick her up because she's needed to perform a highly classified surgery.
Kathleen's hands are shaking as she holds onto the consent form from the medical staff. "They've checked the database, and Mommy is the only person who's compatible enough to be the bone marrow donor."
On a stormy night, Nathaniel kneels on the ground as Estelle walks across the red carpet. With a veil adorned with blue diamonds covering her face, she parts her lips.
"Mr. Lockhart, I want 51% of Lockhart Group's shares as payment for saving your lover's life."
