She followed Pearl to her dormitory, posing as her mother to gain entry. Confronting Pearl, Margaret implored her to leave Tom, but Pearl dismissed her coldly. Determined, Margaret returned home and decided to confront Tom. She dressed up and brought him lunch at his office, trying to rekindle their connection, but Tom remained indifferent. Later, Margaret proposed a surprise evening, but Tom claimed work obligations.
Margaret’s attempts to mend their relationship were futile. Realizing she had to protect her daughters, she informed Mr. Dickens about Tom and Pearl. Catching them together at a hotel, Mr. Dickens fired Tom on the spot.
Margaret walked away, determined to move on. When Tom begged for another chance, she firmly rejected him, assuring him that she and the girls would be fine without him. Margaret kicked him out, knowing she had become stronger and would provide a good life for her daughters as a single parent.
