"Noah Ford, don't persist in your delusions!"
"Think about it, Bella Scott is a child of the Scott family. But because of this, Larry Scott, Sylvia Scott, and the entire Reddington bunch despise her. These years, if it weren't for Mason Scott shielding her, Bella would have faced countless tragedies."
"But even so, Bella and the Scott family are essentially strangers."
Madam Ford let out a deep sigh as she continued, "Think about what would happen if they find out that the child isn't actually dead. You, in a moment of foolishness, swapped the child. Picture their reactions when they find out that for decades, they've been living as virtual strangers, all because of our lie. What will they do to our Ford family then!?"
When Madam Ford unearthed the truth all those years ago, things had become irreversible.
She called her son before her, hoping to hear a denial from him.
But contrary to her expectations, under duress, Noah Ford confessed that he did indeed swap the children.
