Jade maintains her innocent expression, but inside, she is applauding Jovani's brilliance. The rugged, unassuming woman standing before them is none other than her biological mother. Her disguise is flawless—from the weathered makeup to the worn-out clothes and timid posture, she looks exactly like a farmer. It is more than enough to fool Deanna and the boys.
Jovani's theatrical visit is a masterstroke designed to solidify Jade's saintly image in the Dennis family's eyes.
It works like a charm. Deanna's belief in Jade's pure, scheming-free nature is instantly reinforced. She even begins to severely doubt Lucinda's previous accusations. How could a girl who spends her free time helping rural workers be a manipulative mastermind?
"Thank you so much for coming all this way," Deanna says, deeply moved. "I'll have my driver take you home." Offering a small favor feels right in the face of such genuine concern.
"Oh, no, Mrs. Dennis, that's entirely unnecessary," Jovani stammers, playing the humble, easily intimidated worker to perfection. "I just wanted to make sure Jade was recovering."
"We truly appreciate it. Thank you," Nikolai adds, stepping up to express the family's gratitude.
Just then, Charles strolls into the room, stepping away from his relentless corporate schedule. "Is Jade alright?" he asks, his tone entirely too flat for a father whose daughter just survived a brutal crash.
"Charles, you're finally here," Deanna says, immediately shifting into a demanding, affectionate pout. "Poor Jade. If she hadn't pushed me, I'd be the one in this bed. She's so brave. You need to buy her a new estate or a commercial property. It's the least we can do."
