Adam Howard’s girlfriend, Wendy Matthews, was supposedly hit by a car and left with a broken leg. In order to afford her treatment, Adam went to desperate lengths — selling his house and even his kidney. What he didn’t know was that Wendy was never truly injured. She was, in fact, the heiress of the wealthy Matthews family, and had only dated Adam out of boredom. While Wendy hosted a lavish birthday party for her fiancé, Blake King, Adam, still trying to gather money for what he thought was Wendy’s recovery, took a job as a waiter at the event through his friend Meyers' introduction. During the party, Adam was humiliated and ridiculed by the guests, and to his shock, he spotted Wendy among them. Yet Wendy not only ignored his suffering but also allowed others to mock him without a word of defense. Heartbroken and devastated, Adam finally made the painful decision to end their relationship.
