"Jade, no need to worry, your company will be just fine. I trust your mom, plus, Mia isn't going to stand by and let your mom's company fall apart." Leo said. Jade couldn't fathom what the ever-confident Leo was thinking.

Meanwhile, Andre, unable to turn down Mia's insistent invitation, ended up playing hooky with her for a coffee shop rendezvous with Coleen.

Early in the morning, the coffee shop was bustling with students and professionals alike.

The trio sat together.

Without a word, Coleen suddenly got up and knelt in front of Andre.

"Coleen! What are you doing?" Andre gasped.

Her sudden act drew attention from the surrounding patrons. Mia quickly helped her up.

Coleen sobbed, pleading to Andre, "Andre, please, don't take my daughter away."

Andre's face turned steely. Had it not been for the Byrne family's kindness to his sister, he would have made them pay for their action.

"Coleen, you're the ones who took my sister away for fifteen years." Andre said.

Through her tears, Coleen offered, "Andre, I don't want Chade Inc. anymore, I can give it to you."

She pulled out a company transfer agreement from her bag, offering to give Chade Inc. to Cedillo Inc. for nothing. "Andre, I'll give you my company. Just please don't take Jade away, she's my whole world. I can't lose my daughter." She said.

Mia was moved by Coleen's tears, her own eyes welling up. Parental love was a powerful thing. Her own parents would rather upset the Cedillo family than let her marry Andres, a man she'd never met. That was love.
