He holds Jennifer Robinson close and smiles tenderly at her underneath the starry sky. "According to the local customs here, the woman whose wedding is held first is considered a man's actual wife. I might have already registered my marriage with Samantha, but she's more like my mistress." Everyone cheers and blesses them as they toast each other and enter their room for the night. I witness all of this, but I don't cry or kick up a fuss. Instead, I make an appointment for an abortion. I've loved Benjamin for 15 years, but I still can't compare to Jennifer, who is my stepsister. If that's the case, I'll let him go. Later, I join a geological exploration and research team in the South Isles and am cut off from the world. All I leave behind is a divorce agreement and a divorce gift. Benjamin has never cared for me, so it's odd that he loses his mind overnight after my departure.

Liam, the brother who had grown up with her for years, and Sebastian, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, both chose without hesitation to rescue Cecilia, the biological daughter who had only recently been acknowledged. As a result, Evelyn’s right leg was crushed and fractured. When she was rescued, she happened to overhear the two of them saying she was an outsider and planning to call off the engagement, and she passed out from the pain on the spot. During her hospitalization, Evelyn was treated coldly by everyone. Her heart died completely, and after realizing that she was nothing more than an outsider, she resolved to leave. After being discharged and returning home, faced with her adoptive mother’s favoritism, Cecilia’s targeting, Sebastian’s wavering, and Liam’s belated guilt, Evelyn remained calm and distant, quietly preparing to leave. In order to appease her biological daughter, her adoptive mother even tried to introduce Evelyn to a notorious playboy, and slapped her in public over a misunderstanding. On the day of the birthday Evelyn and Cecilia shared, Evelyn went to Miami alone and completely cut off all ties with the past. Five years later, under her aunt’s guidance, Evelyn had built a successful career. She returned to New York to accompany her aunt for medical treatment and encountered the Ford family again. By then, the Ford family was no longer what it used to be.
