With a swollen belly, Claire Sullivan chose the second path, moving out of The Sullivan Residence. At that time, she was ostracized by Renee Grant, and every time she went out, she encountered slander and vilification. It wasn't until the child was born that the old man and woman, seeing Claire nearly lose her life to give birth, softened and brought their only daughter back to The Sullivan Residence.
After the postpartum confinement period, Claire Sullivan started investing in business.
The old man helped her run The Sullivan Corporation, but she still attended social engagements herself.
She developed business, entertained clients; because she was beautiful and had been abandoned by a man while pregnant, all those men coveted her.

Marrying Joel Quinn was her own choice.
