Lily is forced into a struggle when her fiancé Zephyr insists she get pregnant immediately to lock in her inheritance after her father brought home an illegitimate child. Zephyr tries to physically coerce her, promising the baby will secure the shares and block Aspen's claims. Their fight is interrupted when Mr. Harrison gets a call: Mr. Wayne of Brightway will only wait thirty minutes at Goldmane Clubhouse. Zephyr abandons the confrontation to meet Wayne, vows to use the favor to change Lily and Jason's view, and books a Granton Hotel meeting—leaving Lily resisting and the succession unsettled.
