Charles tries to kill his brother, a revealed love child, to secure the heir position, and bystanders rush in. Ms. Yates, secretary and heiress of the Yates family, intervenes to protect him. When Charles threatens, she offers herself to spare the brother: "I'll trade myself for him. I'll sleep with you." Mr. Quinn is urged to consider the deal. Cheryl denounces the exchange, and Uncle Warren announces, "I agree to marry that flirty heiress of the Lee family." The brother's fate and the family's succession are left unresolved, forcing Mr. Quinn into an impossible choice.
