At the hospital Mr. Williams pleads to be let in, but Yvonne blocks him and accuses Ian of causing the emergency after a prior altercation. Doctors fail to revive the couple; in their last moments the parents apologize, hand over the family company and all assets to Ian, and brand Yvonne 'ungrateful,' effectively disowning her. Yvonne tends to their memory and handles small domestic tasks, while a conniving acquaintance admits they're after her money after confirming the deaths. With the inheritance shifted to Ian and Yvonne publicly cut off, her financial security is suddenly at risk.
