As Liam Spencer faces the twilight of his life, it seems he’s chosen to prepare his exit with a sense of peace. His loved ones observe a man settling his affairs, making amends, and bracing them for his departure. However, the calm is abruptly shattered when Steffy finds something that sends shockwaves through their world — a sealed envelope buried in one of Liam’s bags.
Curiosity gets the better of her, and when she opens the letter, her world tilts on its axis. It’s Liam’s will — recent, legally signed, and heartbreakingly clear. As Steffy begins to read, one name leaps off the page: Kelly Spencer. Liam has left everything — his estate, savings, even the contents of his safety deposit box — solely to Kelly. What chills Steffy to the core is not what she sees, but what she doesn’t: there is no mention of Beth, Liam’s other daughter.
Initially, Steffy convinces herself it must be a mistake. Perhaps this is an outdated version from when Beth was still a baby. But the will is dated just after Liam’s most recent medical appointments — a time when he knew the severity of his condition. That realization sends her into a spiral of confusion and dread. Why would Liam deliberately exclude Beth from his final wishes?
Without hesitation, Steffy contacts Hope. Her voice trembling, she asks her to come over immediately, saying only that it’s urgent — it’s about Liam. When Hope arrives, expecting news about his declining health or maybe a heartfelt family discussion, she’s instead met with a pale and visibly shaken Steffy, who hands her the will and simply says, “Read it.”
As Hope reads through the document, her reaction mirrors Steffy’s earlier shock. Her hands tremble. Her voice breaks. “Why isn’t Beth mentioned?” she whispers. “He loves her. He’s always been there for her. He just told me how proud he was of the young woman she’s becoming.”
They go over every line, searching for a hidden clause, a footnote, any mention — but there is none. The silence between the two women grows heavier. Hope struggles to comprehend how a devoted father could seemingly erase one of his children from his legacy.
Steffy tries to find logic in the illogical — perhaps it’s a mistake, or maybe there’s another will. But the evidence in front of them is too specific and too recent to ignore. The only thing clear is that Liam made this choice knowingly, and it’s tearing them apart.
As they sit in the emotional wreckage of this discovery, Hope makes a decision. “We have to talk to him,” she says. “He wouldn’t do this without a reason.” But as both women prepare to confront Liam, deeper questions arise. Could he be hiding something darker? Was it guilt, fear, or an unspoken truth that drove him to cut Beth out?
Whatever Liam’s reasoning, this bombshell threatens to destroy the fragile trust his loved ones have placed in him during his final days. And as secrets begin to surface, they could uncover a side of Liam neither Steffy nor Hope ever expected.
