### Steffy Discovers That Thomas and Paris’s Marriage Plans Were Completely Fake
Steffy has been interfering a lot in Thomas’s life, constantly urging him to marry Paris and leave Hope in
the past. With good intentions, Steffy thought that Thomas moving on with Paris would help him forget
Hope and find new happiness. However, she had no idea that Thomas didn’t truly love Paris. To Thomas, Paris was just a pawn in his plan to make Hope regret rejecting him.
Thomas devised a sophisticated scheme, from sweet words to Paris to actions that showed fake affection, all aimed at deceiving those around him. On the other hand, Paris wasn’t easily fooled. She was working with Thomas to get revenge on those who hurt them. Paris wanted to make Zende regret leaving her and sleeping with Luna, while Thomas couldn’t forget the two times Hope had rejected him.
During a scene filmed in Paris, Thomas revealed his true feelings about Hope and his regret over her rejections. This only strengthened his determination to deceive Paris and make Hope feel remorse. Meanwhile, Paris shared with Thomas how Zende had ruined their long-term relationship by cheating on her with Luna. United by their shared desire for revenge, Thomas and Paris concocted a plan to spread rumors about their impending marriage.
Steffy soon realized the truth about Thomas and Paris’s fake relationship when she overheard a conversation between them. Despite Thomas’s seemingly sincere and understanding demeanor, Steffy began to suspect the truth. Thomas tried to convince Steffy that he wanted everyone to have time to accept that he and Paris loved each other, but his words couldn’t hide the lies.
The tension escalated as Hope began to feel that she couldn’t bear the thought of Thomas actually getting married. Meanwhile, Paris was also playing a dangerous game. Zende confessed his mistake to Paris and vowed it wouldn’t happen again. He even proposed a reunion and suggested they have a wedding to prove their love.
When Steffy overheard another conversation between Thomas and Paris, her doubts about their relationship grew stronger. Thomas’s words, though sweet and sincere, couldn’t hide the deception. Steffy realized that her efforts to help her brother find happiness were actually just part of his elaborate scheme. She was shocked and surprised by Paris’s wedding plans, putting her in an awkward position.
Now, Steffy must decide whether to expose Thomas and Paris’s plan to protect the truth and the people she loves, or stay silent and see where things go.
