Theresa had never been happier in her life then when she got to see Gwen's jaw drop at her proposal. She meant every word of it. Gwen was going to give her those documents or else. In her car, she dialed Fox's cell phone.

"Hello." He replied.

"It's me." She responded.

"How did it go? Were you able to convince Gwen to hand over the evidence that she sent the tabloid information out?" Fox asked her.

"I don't know. I didn't give her a chance to respond. You should have seen her face. She was absolutely speechless when I gave her my ultimatum. There's no way she's going to refuse me my offer. Her freedom is at stake." Theresa said.

"Are you really going to let Gwen go free for trying to kill you and stealing Jane?" Fox asked her.

"Gwen isn't walking out of that prison. As soon as she gives me the info I need to destroy her, I'll screw her over like she has done to me in the past." Theresa said.

"Mother, where is Ethan?" Gwen asked.

"He's talking to a cop. We're hoping to get you moved to a nicer cell. What did Theresa say to you?" Rebecca asked.

"She's offered to give me my freedom back in exchange for the tabloid info. I don't have long to give her a response. If I don't give her the info, she's going to make sure that I'm locked up forever." Gwen said.

"Honey, you can't give her that info. You can't let her tell Ethan that you were the one that destroyed his life. He'll never forgive you. He'll leave you for Theresa and their children." Rebecca reminded her.

"What are you talking about? Ethan and Theresa only share one child together and that is Jane." Gwen replied.

"I didn't want you to know this because I didn't want to burden you with this information." Rebecca said.

"Mother you are making no sense. What information are you talking about?" Gwen asked.

"Gwen, Theresa's son isn't Julian's son. He's Ethan's son. Julian and I have been keeping it a secret because we didn't want it to tear up your marriage to Ethan. We knew it would have been disastrous if it ever came out that Little Ethan's wasn't Julian's son." Rebecca said.

"At least Little Ethan doesn't get a cut of the Crane money anymore. He'll never see 5.5 million dollars now. Theresa will never be able to be rich once Fox throws her out on her ass." Gwen said.

"You don't see to get it. Alistair knew all about Ethan's paternity but he decided to give him a share anyways. No one knows why." Rebecca announced.

"He obviously had something in store for Theresa. I don't know what it could possibly be." Gwen said.

"Gwen, what did Theresa say to you?" Ethan asked.

"You know the usual. She wants me to divorce you so that she can marry you and live happily ever after; of course I told her no way." Gwen said.

"We need to think of a way to get you out here; then we need to figure out a way to stop that wedding and dethrone Fox from Crane industries for good." Ethan said.

The thought suddenly came to Rebecca's head. Why hadn't she thought of this earlier? She knew how to get Gwen out of jail. There was a way Gwen could get away with her crimes and not have to serve a single day. This was going to be good.

"I have to go make a phone call. I'll be right back." Rebecca said.

"Who are you calling?" Gwen asked.

"You'll see in good time." Rebecca replied.

"Theresa are you ready to help me get some revenge on the Russell's now that I've helped you begin your revenge on Ethan, Gwen, Rebecca, and Sam? Fox asked.

"What do you want me to do?" Theresa replied.

She couldn't believe that the hospital was actually closing down for good. All the work she had put in to saving lives was going to be lost once the new bigger hospital was built. Fox Crane had already started planning to have the hospital knocked down next week. Everyone would loose their jobs while Fox flew in top specialist to operate his new hospital. The plans to turn Harmony into a bustling city were underway. Fox had announced plans to get rid of most of the homes in order to build huge skyscrapers. All of this was to occur in less than a year. The hospital would be going up sooner than that. Eve was going to loose her job and her family once she was found guilty for attempted murder.

Eve looked over to see Theresa entering the side entrance where the ER patients were admitted. How dare she show her face here after all she had done to her daughter? Eve noticed that Theresa was wearing a huge engagement ring on her finger. She was dressed in fine business clothes and was making her way to the board room where they held their annually meetings.

"Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, what on earth are you doing here?" Eve asked her.

"I'm here for the board meeting." She replied.

"You have no right to be here. I can't believe you would show your face here after how you treated Whitney." Eve said.

"I actually have every right to be here. This is a public hospital. I can go and come as I please." Theresa said.

"You can't just come in and sit for a board meeting. You either have to be one of the board members or you have to be invited." Eve reminded her.

"I am one of the board members." Theresa said.

"Theresa, you're not a board member. Just because Fox is letting you stay with him doesn't give you the right to act like a Crane." Eve said.

"You have heard the news yet. I'm marrying Fox Crane next week at a beach ceremony." Theresa said.

"Is that so?" Eve questioned.

"Yes it is. I'm marrying Fox next weekend. Then I'll be the most powerful woman in the world and the rest of you will suffer for the way you have treated me. You see as head matriarch I'll have access to each dirty little secret. By the way, Fox has given me the job as overseer of this hospital; I'm suppose to be heading the project to redesign Harmony. I have an important board meeting to attend." Theresa said.

"There are no board meetings today Theresa. Go home." Eve demanded.

"Actually, I called a board meeting." Theresa said.

"Why wasn't I informed of this new board meeting? I'm the head doctor here." Eve said.

"Actually, you're not the head doctor anymore. Didn't I tell you? You've been released. You have a week to resign and leave the hospital. Oh by the way make sure you stay away from my board meeting. You're not invited and you're not a member." Theresa said with an evil grin and walked away.

Theresa's phone rang. It was Fox.

"How did it go?" He asked her.

"She wasn't really happy to hear of the engagement." Theresa said.

"I'm glad to hear that. Now get to the board meeting and fire all of Eve's friends. Next week we're knocking this hospital to the ground." Fox said.

"I thought that we were doing that next month." Theresa commented.

"I was going to destroy the hospital next month but I want it down now." Fox said.

"I see. Well, then I'll make sure that we fire most of the staff and have the patients either thrown out or transferred to another hospital." Theresa responded.

"That's my girl." Fox said.

Ethan had left the prison to stay at the Bed and Breakfast. Rebecca had finally come back from her telephone call.

"I've finally got a way to drop the charges on you." Rebecca said.

"How are you going to do that?" Gwen asked.

With that, she brought Judge Reilly into the room.

"Mother we can't afford to pay Reilly off in order to secure a conviction." Gwen said.

"Reilly and I have come up with another way for you to repay him. Reilly will get you off for both counts as long as you agree to sleep with him." Rebecca said.

"Are you serious?" Gwen asked.

"It's the only way to secure your freedom and it's the only way to keep Theresa from finding out the truth on you." Rebecca said.

"I'll do anything to keep Theresa from destroying me. Even if it means sleeping with Judge Reilly, Theresa is not going to destroy my marriage to Ethan." Gwen replied.
