Larry somberly confirmed, "Yes." At that juncture, Galilea had yet to complete her education. Due to the traumatic kidnapping ordeal, Tyrone had spent considerable time consoling her, which naturally Limited the interactions between Galilea and Larry.

Moreover, Larry had intentionally created distance between them and kept the truth shrouded. By the time Galilea became aware of Larry's burgeoning affection for Lena, Larry and Lena's wedding loomed on the horizon.

Galilea had invested so much in her relationship with Larry. The idea of relinquishing him to another was unfathomable to her.

Numerous private conversations had ensued between them, yet Larry remained impervious to her pleas for attention. As desperation took hold, Galilea had resorted to threats.

Should Larry refuse to marry her, she vowed to summon the police and reveal him as the mastermind, a move that would inevitably ensnare them both in the clutches of the law.

The incriminating bank records were her bargaining chips.

Both of them now found themselves in precarious waters. Armed with Larry's secret, Galilea shed her former humility.

Larry had grappled with the gnawing fear of her potential involvement with Law enforcement, leaving him with a difficult decision.

He had two options. The first was to find a way to confront Galilea head-on or to gamble on the belief that she wouldn't dare to involve the authorities.

The alternative was to sever ties with Lena and wed Galilea.

However, during that critical juncture, he had found himself mired in indecision, opting for what would ultimately prove to be the most ill-advised course of action.

As he failed to initiate divorce proceedings with Lena, Galilea's patience wore thin, Leading her down a perilous path aimed squarely at Lena.

Her intention had been clear and that was to compel Larry into a no-win choice between her and Lena, ensuring that as long as she remained in the picture, the couple could never find solace in a tranquil Life.

In an unforeseen twist of fate, Lena had become pregnant, and while her injuries were not grave, tragically, her unborn child did not survive.

The loss of their child dealt a devastating emotional blow to Lena, rendering her haggard and deeply despondent. Tyrone, too, paid a visit to Lena during that difficult period.

Never could Tyrone have anticipated that Galilea was the cause behind Lena's miscarriage!

As Larry gazed upon Lena's tears, he finally grasped the imperative necessity of severing all ties with Galilea in a decisive manner.

Deep down, Larry had known that Galilea would refrain from involving the police.

Should she take that drastic step, both of their lives would be irreparably shattered. Even with the truth and Larry's background, Galilea might not possess the means to inflict significant harm upon him but the collateral damage would extend to her own family, thrusting them into conflict with the formidable Blakely Group. Her prospects for turning the tide would be exceedingly bleak.

Given the choice between imprisonment for both herself and Larry, and a cessation of their interaction, Galilea would undoubtedly opt for the latter.
