During the office party, tipsy Summer mistakenly wandered into her boss Calvin's room. Rumor has it that Calvin steers clear of women and is all action, no talk. Any girl caught in his crosshairs ends up miserably. A month later, Summer eyes the pregnancy test with one thought on her mind: Run! She runs, he chases, but she's in over her head!

I am in the middle of hosting an international conference when my younger sister, Aubrey Keller, suddenly calls me. She is sobbing over the phone as she says, "Aster, my spot in the student exchange program was taken away…" I immediately rush over to Aubrey's university campus. She's cornered in the teachers' office, her eyes brimming with tears. A young girl with punk flair is standing in front of Aubrey, gesturing at her with disdain. "Trying to fight for the spot against me, are you? I'm the heiress to the Keaton family in Centuria. "My father even funded an entire laboratory building for the university! Who do you think you are?" A teacher standing to the side is also adding fuel to the fire. "Aubrey, Ophelia's father is one of this university's key funders. Why don't you just let this go this time so we can all move on?" I'm about to rebuke the two when I hear the phrase 'heiress to the Keaton family.' Keaton family from Centuria? Since when did my father, Tristan Keaton, have another daughter besides Aubrey and me? I immediately call Tristan's number and ask coldly, "Dad, when did you cheat on Mom and sire another daughter behind her back?"

When we were about to head to the amusement park, my Beta boyfriend, Drew, brought along a woman and her daughter. There happened to be one seat short in the car. Drew told me to get out and give my seat to the two of them. “Laura has a kid with her. Let them go first. I’ll come back for you later,” he said. I calmly stepped out and watched as the car slowly pulled away from the pack. Three hours later, they arrived at the amusement park for the fireworks and feast. When a friend asked Drew why he still hadn’t come back to get me, Drew was patiently helping Laura light a giant firework. He wasn’t in a rush at all and even said, “It’ll be fine if I pick Sienna up later. She won’t mind. I’ll coax her a bit, and she’ll stop being mad.” Anger only worked on people who cared about someone. My dad, mom, and brother never cared, and now, not even Drew cared anymore. It was time for me to leave for good.

"Evelyn was the founder and actual controlling owner of Evelis Group. After marriage, she retreated behind the scenes and supported her husband Daniel in taking the CEO position. Their daughter Aurelia was severely injured in a drunk-driving accident caused by Daniel’s illegitimate son Ryan. Daniel’s mistress Vanessa even took the black card Evelyn had given Daniel to the hospital, pressuring Evelyn to sign a letter of forgiveness in an attempt to buy off the crime with money. From clues such as the black card and the vehicle involved in the accident, Evelyn gradually exposed the twenty-year marriage scam Daniel had been running: he had fathered an illegitimate son with Vanessa before their marriage, and the real purpose of the marriage was to seize control of Evelis Group. Daniel repeatedly sided with his illegitimate son, using company resources to suppress news coverage, cutting off the victim’s treatment, granting ward access, and allowing Vanessa and her son to harm the severely injured daughter again and again. Suppressing her grief, Evelyn fought back step by step: she froze the accounts, publicly revealed her identity as founder, removed Daniel from his position, audited out evidence of five hundred million dollars in embezzled funds, and shattered Daniel’s schemes of forging equity agreements and framing others. In the end, the crimes of Daniel, Vanessa, and Ryan were completely exposed, and all three were convicted on multiple charges and sent to prison. After a life-and-death crisis, her daughter woke up and recovered. Evelyn established an independent victim assistance fund, fully reclaimed control of the company, and began a brand-new life with her daughter."
