"About what happened last time, with your identity being exposed—that was a mistake Chloe made in a moment of confusion. It wasn't at my instruction; I truly didn't know about it then. And when I found out, I went to the Quinn family right away to try and explain.
For various reasons, I wasn't able to explain it properly. I felt terrible about it, and I was worried for you because you might not have been able to marry Seth. But thankfully, no matter what happened, you and Seth ended up together. Dad is happy for you, really.
But I also need to apologize for Chloe's mistake. I'm sorry, Clara. It's my fault for not teaching her better, for letting her nearly cause such a terrible disaster. Besides, Chloe regretted it afterward. She even said she wants to apologize to you in person when she gets the chance."
