The moment Delilah settled on the couch, Jodie’s gaze toward her underwent a transformation. A cold stare replaced the previous warmth.

Jodie had been subjected to her cruelty since childhood.

Before discovering her true identity, Jodie naively believed her mother harbored no love for her. In pursuit of that elusive affection, she went to great lengths.

It wasn’t until she crossed paths with Cindy, Owen, and Nicole that the revelation about her true parentage unfolded. Delilah was not her mother.

From that point on, Jodie’s character took a dark turn. She became willing to do anything to secure Wilfred’s love and the coveted status of being the cherished Newhouse heiress.
