Stacey, hearing this, turned to Peter in shock.
Stacey found herself stuck at home by Peter’s orders. Despite being treated similarly by Bianca, Peter still longed to reconcile with her. Ashley’s exceptional qualities went unnoticed, with Peter not mentioning her at all.
This made Stacey realize she had been fooling herself all this time.
Stacey’s plan to marry Ashley to Joshua was also her way of breaking free.
Now, Stacey was more determined than ever to leave Peter. With only Ashley to depend on, Ashley’s marriage to the Reed family had to go smoothly.
“Bianc, why would you think that of me?” Peter paused, then spoke sadly. “You’re grown up now. If you want me out of your life, I’ll step back. But you’re my daughter. That bond will never change, so I won’t sign this paper to cut ties.”
He took the document from Stacey and tore it up.
