Chapter 299 SALEM HIGH CLAIRE: Jade, you're not making any sense. Why would your mom want to hurt my mom and me? And anyway I thought you lived with your dad. JADE: I used to, until he kicked me out. Well, my adopted dad, anyway. Turns out I have a whole other set of real parents I never knew about. CLAIRE: Go on. JADE: So, I don't know the whole story, but apparently my real mom went to high school with your parents. And I guess she and your dad got close, but she did some really bad stuff to him, and she was pretty horrible to your mom. CLAIRE: What's your real mom's name? JADE: Jan Spears. CLAIRE: Huh. JADE: What? CLAIRE: Earlier this year, my parents and my Uncle Philip had their high school reunion. They mentioned somebody named Jan that showed up there. That must have been who they were talking about. JADE: Probably. It was around that time that I met her. And after hanging around with her for a few months, I found out that she was my real mom. CLAIRE: This still doesn't tell me why she'd want to hurt me, my mom or Joey's parents. JADE: It's my fault. I told her about Joey, and how we used to date. I also told her about you, and how Joey broke up with me after I did that horrible stuff to you at the Last Blast. My mom has some creepy obsession with your dad, and last night, she told me that she was going to get rid of anyone who stood in the way of me getting Joey and her getting your dad. ALAMAIN MANSION NICHOLAS: Father, I- LAWRENCE: What were you thinking, Nicholas? Begging from Victor Kiriakis like that? We are Alamains. We don't beg. We make things happen. NICHOLAS: And how exactly am I supposed to make things happen? LAWRENCE: You do what Alamains always do. You find a way. NICHOLAS: Last year, Alamain Industries suffered a massive data breach. For the last year, I've been trying to rebuild this company, to make it even a fraction of what it once was. I'm sorry, father, but I'm not you. I don't have the contacts you did. They were all lost to the data breach. I informed the authorities, but so far, they haven't been able to get even a quarter of our information back to us. LAWRENCE: I am aware. Believe me, I've been watching you. But what about your contacts? Surely you have some that I don't. NICHOLAS: Most of those were lost to the data breach, as well. I've gotten in touch with the few that didn't, and they've helped us. LAWRENCE: But they haven't helped Aunt Vivian. NICHOLAS: They're not those kind of contacts. LAWRENCE: But there is one who is. Nicholas looked at Lawrence. NICHOLAS: You're not serious. LAWRENCE: Believe me, Nicholas, if there were any other way, I'd have told you about it by now. Much as I loath the idea of letting that woman back into your life, needs must when the devil drives. NICHOLAS: You are serious. LAWRENCE: When it comes to Aunt Vivian, I'm always serious. Now, you may have lost a lot of our company, but you will not lose her. You will not let Aunt Vivian die, Nicholas. You will do whatever you have to to make sure she regains her health. Nicholas took a deep breath. NICHOLAS: Understood. Nicholas pulled out his cell phone and dailed a number. NICHOLAS: It's me. We need to talk. In person. I'm at the mansion in Salem. Okay. Goodbye, mother.

I wonder if Carly will help Vivian.
I hope Claire takes Jade's warning seriously.

Chapter 300 SALEM HIGH CLAIRE: Wow! JADE: Yeah. It's pretty intense. CLAIRE: No kidding! JADE: Claire, I am so sorry! I mean, I know you and I hate each other, but I never meant for this to happen. My mom all but said she plans to kill you and your mom. CLAIRE: Are you serious? JADE: Yes! CLAIRE: Okay, I'm gonna need a minute to take all this in. Claire took a deep breath. CLAIRE: Okay. This is insane! JADE: I know. I can't believe I actually let it get this far. CLAIRE: You're actually scared of her, aren't you? JADE: Kinda, yeah. I mean, you didn't see the way she was acting. She's totally lost it. CLAIRE: Sounds like it. Um, do you feel together enough to take Emmy again? JADE: Yeah, sure. Claire handed Jade the baby, then got out her cell phone. JADE: Who are you calling? CLAIRE: My dad. Half of my family are in the Salem P.D. They'll be able to protect us and anyone else your mom plans to target. JADE: What about me and Emmy? I'm afraid she may come after us, too. CLAIRE: That's what I'm saying. They'll help you find a good place to go until they figure out what to do about your mom. Claire dialed a number. CLAIRE: Daddy? No, I'm okay. Can you come to my school? It's an emergency. One of...someone in my class says that they're related to Jan Spears, and that she's going to try to come after us and our family. Okay, I'll see you soon. Love you. Bye. Claire hung up. CLAIRE: He's on his way. Thankfully, he's on his lunch break right now. JADE: Well, that's good. CLAIRE: Hey, it'll be okay. My dad's a good guy. He'll help you and Emmy find a place to stay. JADE: I don't see why, after everything I've put you through. I'm surprised you even stayed this long and are still listening to me. CLAIRE: It's the right thing to do. Now, come on. He said he'll meet us in the main office in a few minutes. Claire and Jade walked over to the main office. When they got there, Shawn-D was just walking in. SHAWN-D: Claire? CLAIRE: Hi, Dad. This is Jade- SHAWN-D: Michaels. JADE: Hi, Mr. Brady. SHAWN-D: What was it you were saying about Jan Spears? JADE: A couple months ago, I found out she was my real mother. I heard rumors about how she was really popular in high school, and I wanted to be just like her. Only, turns out, she's crazy. SHAWN-D: That she is. Go on. JADE: Well, I told her about how me and Joey used to date, and how I wanted him back. I guess she has some weird obsession with you, or something. SHAWN-D: She has for years. JADE: And, last night, things got a bit intense and she told me about what happened in Puerto Rico when you guys were in high school, and how she got pregnant with me. And then she went even further and told me that she plans to hurt, possibly kill your wife and Joey's parents.

I love Shawn's reaction to Jade saying Jan is crazy. LOL I'm really curious as to what he's going to do with this information. Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!
Next week...![](https://imagesw.pizap.com/10212467067128992pizapw1507339695.jpg) Jade told Claire everything. JADE: It's my fault. Will her father be able to help them now? SHAWN-D: We've got some work ahead of us. Plus, a mother and son reunited... TRIX: I finally get to meet grandma? But will they both agree to each other's terms? NICHOLAS: I need your help. CARLY: Do you know what you're asking, Nicky? All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

Ooh this will be good. Can't wait for Carly and Nicholas to butt heads. I wonder if she even knows she has a granddaughter. Looking forward to seeing what Shawn does about Jade's news too. Great previews André DiMera!

I feel better knowing Shawn's on the case now.
This will be a dilemma for Carly.
Thanks for the previews @andre.

Chapter 301 SALEM HIGH Shawn-D took a deep breath. SHAWN-D: Well, this is a lot more extreme than the last time. I knew it was too good to be true that Jan had turned over a new leaf. JADE: Mr. Brady, I'm so sorry! I never meant for all of this to happen! It's all my fault! SHAWN-D: How is it your fault? JADE: I...told my mom about Claire, and how much I hated her. And I think she plans to hurt her, too, as well as your wife. SHAWN-D: Jade, you're a kid. You're a kid who's gotten in way over her head. But what Jan plans to do is not your fault. JADE: It is, though, because I told her that I blamed Claire for me and Joey breaking up. She said she'd do whatever it took to get me and Joey together and to get you back. SHAWN-D: And I have no doubt she thinks that she will. But, it's not gonna happen. And whatever Jan's plans are, that's on her. It's not your fault. You were just a kid blowing off steam to a person you thought of as a role model. You didn't know what Jan was really like. JADE: Well, I do now. I can't believe she's my mother, and that I caused all this. SHAWN-D: We'll worry about that later. Right now, we've got to take care of you guys first. Do you have a place to stay? JADE: No. Emmy and I ended up laying on a park bench last night. SHAWN-D: Well, looks like we've got some work ahead of us. Let's find you some place to stay, and make sure Jan won't be able to get to you. ALAMAIN MANSION Trix walked in and set her backpack down on the table just as Nicholas' phone call ended. TRIX: Who was that? Nicholas sighed as he put away his phone. NICHOLAS: That was my mother. She's going to be coming out here later tonight. I have something she can help me with. TRIX: You mean I finally get to meet Grandma Carly? Awesome! NICHOLAS: You've met her before. TRIX: Only once, when I was, like, five. I barely even remember her. Anyway, I can't wait to see her again! NICHOLAS: I'm glad you're excited. TRIX: Sounds like I'm the only one. What happened between you two? Nicholas hesitated. NICHOLAS: It's nothing. Nothing you need to worry about. Anyway, how was school? TRIX: Great! I made the swim team! NICHOLAS: Honey, that's wonderful. TRIX: Yeah. Practices are on Mondays after school, so I'll need to stay late those days. NICHOLAS: All right. That sounds good. Nicholas' phone went off. He picked it up. NICHOLAS: Alamain. Tony DiMera? What can I do for you? Uh-huh. Right. Yes, that makes sense. Heh. Why? Okay. Well, I can't tonight...Ah, I see. All right, that should be fine. Okay. I'll see you then, I guess. Nicholas hung up. NICHOLAS: Well, that was odd. Trix had gotten herself a granola bar as a snack. TRIX: What was? NICHOLAS: That phone call. It's from one of my biggest competitiors. He said he wants to meet with me to discuss business. TRIX: Sounds ominous. Nicholas nodded. TRIX: You gonna meet this guy? NICHOLAS: Yes, I am.

I'm not sure I trust Jade, but I trust Shawn not to let any shenanigans go unchecked. I wonder what Tony wants. Also I can't wait to see Nicholas and Carly's reunion. Great chapter André DiMera!

Wonder if Nicholas is meeting Tony or Andre.
So glad that Jade confided in Claire and that Claire called Shawn.
