To repay a debt of gratitude, Elena lived incognito and married Sebastian for seven years—only to be met with his infidelity with his secretary, Stella, relentless abuse from her mother-in-law, Victoria, and cruel mistreatment of her daughter, Hazel. Left paralyzed after a car accident, she was ultimately cast out onto the streets with her child. When Elena appeared with her daughter at an investment banquet hosted by the Cross Group, Sebastian and the others publicly humiliated her. At a critical moment, Aslan—the powerful Marquess of Victory, whom Elena had jilted years prior—personally arrived at the scene. Though unaware of Elena’s true identity, the crowd was awestruck by Aslan’s commanding presence and quickly switched sides. Elena did not reveal her identity on the spot; instead, she coldly dismissed her ex-husband and mother-in-law before leaving with her daughter alongside Aslan. Shortly thereafter, Elena and Aslan held a high-profile engagement party. Only then did everyone realize the shocking truth: she was the true heiress of the Cross Group. Sebastian and Victoria were left wailing on their knees, finding no path to redemption and suffering total ruin.
