Despite her plea, Daredevil ventured out, facing the threat of Bullseye.

In tears, Heather left a note for Foggy to tell Matt, expressing her decision to quit and bidding farewell forever.

With Foggy, Debbie, and Becky observing from a distance, Matt took Heather to her father's grave in the rain, aiming to make her confront the reality of his death.

Glenn Industries

Heather assumed control of Glenn Industries, becoming the chairman of the board. She, along with board members Mr. Tubbs and J.B., strived to salvage the company's reputation, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. At Glenn Industries, Heather confronted Mr. Tubbs during an unauthorized meeting, discovering a dubious deal involving the sale of their New Jersey electronics plant. Confronting Daredevil's accusations, Heather, overwhelmed with grief, dismissed him and sought comfort in Mr. Tubbs' embrace.

Later, she urged Matt to abandon his Daredevil costume for the opera, only to witness his reckless rooftop leap, deepening her worry. Distressed by Matt's search for Stick and the loss of his powers, Heather, conflicted about ending their relationship, chose to assist him. After navigating the seedy side of town, they located Stick and triumphed over the threats. Heather, growing impatient during Matt's prolonged absence, invited Rico to a club. She eventually left after Rico insulted Matt behind his back. Delighted to attend the ballet with Matt, Heather relished the high society experience. However, the evening took an unexpected turn with a brawl between Daredevil, Power Man, Iron Fist, and adversaries Boris and Ninotchka.

Alongside Debbie and Foggy, Heather orchestrated a hospital visit with a reluctant Santa Claus, Matt. Meanwhile, Matt remained stoic in the corner. Seeking more purpose, Heather immersed herself in business classes and displayed increased interest in Glenn Industries. In a board meeting at Glenn Industries, Heather clashed with Mr. Spindle, insisting on Murdock reviewing documents. A tense confrontation with Matt ensued, causing Heather's frustration. Heather confided in Matt about her board struggles, leading to a strained conversation about their relationship. Matt proposed marriage, but Heather resisted, expressing discomfort with traditional roles. Voicing discontent over Matt's marriage proposal and the anticipated domestic role, Heather found herself compelled by Spindle to sign multiple documents. Reminded of her option to step down at any time, she queried Spindle about a document related to Atreus Plastics. Despite her concerns, Spindle dismissed them, instructing her to continue signing. Seeking solace, she called Matt to discuss their relationship, only to be put on hold as he took another call. Frustrated, she left without further discussion. Returning to Glenn Industries, she uncovered the unsettling truth behind the Atreus Plastics deal involving the manufacturing of plastic explosives. Confiding in Foggy about her company's troubles, Heather sought to keep Matt in the dark. Matt, however, persisted in pressuring her to relinquish her business during a confrontation. Under Foggy's guidance, they confronted Spindle, who deflected blame onto Heather, insinuating her complicity. Foggy sent Heather home, promising to handle the situation.

Opting for a new look with blonde hair, Heather faced Matt's legal onslaught against Glenn Industries, initiating a criminal investigation. Matt aimed for her departure from the company, hoping she would choose marriage. Heather directly challenged the board, with Spindle arrogantly standing his ground and questioning her competence. Daredevil intervened, vowing her safety but predicting the company's downfall. During a dinner with Foggy, Heather expressed concern about Matt's motives and criminal charges, reluctantly accepting his proposal after Glenn Industries faced criminal allegations.

Alone in her apartment, Heather, burdened by Matt's manipulations, sought solace in alcohol, lamenting the circumstances that led her to consider marrying him. Inebriated, Heather stumbled upon Matt's apartment after a fight, discovering him with Black Widow. Following Matt's orders, she professed her love when he asserted control. Later, finding a note supposedly from Matt, expressing his rejection, she collapsed in tears, unaware of the ruse orchestrated by Black Widow and Foggy.
