Five years ago, a destitute Waylon was taken in by Rita, which led him to willingly relinquish his claim to his billion-dollar inheritance. For five years, he secretly aided the Quinn family in their rise to the elite. However, on the day of the wedding, she abandoned him for her foster brother, Xander. In a desperate attempt to chase after her car, he met with an accident and fought for his life while she turned off her phone, leaving him unreachable. After surviving, he fulfilled his grandfather's longstanding promise and, just seven days later, was set to marry Rosie, the heiress of a conglomerate. The Quinn family continued to trample on him; to add insult to injury, her parents arranged for his sister and brother to hold their wedding on the same day at the same venue as his. At the wedding, Rosie found him and offered her support. Waylon calmly wished the Quinn family a lifetime of happiness before turning away and never looking back.
