At an anniversary gathering, colleagues praise Wendy after Harry spent a fortune auctioning Princess Daina's pearl necklace and bought handpicked earrings. Wendy confirms a $500 million contract is ready; as Meridian Group head she'll deliver it to Gould Group tomorrow. Asked whether she'll tell Harry she's the controlling shareholder behind Meridian, she refuses—Harry values pride and she won't use Saint Group's help as leverage. She plans to reveal the truth at the baby's full-month banquet. Harry returns; they exchange anniversary greetings, and Wendy's secret remains unspoken, setting up the next confrontation.
