"Old Master, I admit I was just blinded by momentary madness at that time. I just felt that when you saw Keira daily, you never forgot about that woman, Vivi Sydney. But I couldn't accept that...I really couldn't...

Michael Leaf felt a tightness in his chest, for this could be said to be where he had failed Emma most. After he had turned the tides in the Leaf family that year, he married Vivi Sydney instead, and never fulfilled his promise to Emma.
"Yes, I admit that I failed you back then! But that doesn't mean Felicity wronged you! Nor does it mean that you can wantonly try to drive a wedge between her and me as father and daughter!" Michael roared.
