If that's the case, why does he need the baby, unless he's going to market her, too, right?
He need DL to pursue the Marshall estate. IMHO.
"I've seen her worse than that". After objecting to talking about the drugs, Howard has the nerve to say: "Anna was really, really bad".....but she wasn't "impaired"....well, sometimes...
I actually don't think he does want the baby, I think he wants the money and is holding the baby hostage to Larry to agree to allow HKS administer her estate. IMO Larry will agree to anything to get his child out from under HKS.
