Charlotte Ward, heiress of Ward Group, was engaged to Matthew Wright, heir of Wright Group in a business marriage. When Matthew's first love Mia Moore returns, he unilaterally calls off the engagement and makes a high-profile announcement to the media, causing Ward Group's stock price to evaporate by 300 million in half an hour. Faced with this humiliation, Charlotte calmly agrees to the breakup, while secretly initiating procedures to withdraw all of Ward Group's investments from Wright Group.
