Margaret’s morning started routinely until she found a hidden phone in her husband’s office. The phone revealed messages from Pearl, Tom’s boss’s daughter. Margaret discovered they were meeting secretly. Shocked and heartbroken, she decided to follow them.
Margaret confronted Pearl at her dormitory. “I know about you and Tom,” she said. Pearl dismissed her, insisting, “Tom’s happy with me, and he doesn’t want you anymore.” Determined to save her family, Margaret left, her resolve strengthening.
Margaret tried to rekindle her relationship with Tom, visiting him at work with lunch. Her efforts were met with indifference. “I really need to get back to work,” Tom said, pushing her away. Dejected, Margaret realized their love was fading.
Margaret contacted Mr. Dickens and exposed Tom and Pearl’s affair. Mr. Dickens confronted them, declaring, “You’re fired.” Returning home, Margaret faced Tom’s pleas for forgiveness. She stood firm, telling him, “The girls and I… we’ll be fine without you!” Empowered, Margaret resolved to build a better life for her daughters as a single parent.
