On their third anniversary, Scarlett catches her husband Derek in bed with her stepsister—and calmly signs the divorce papers he throws at her. Derek thinks he's finally rid of the penniless wife he never loved. What he doesn't know is that Scarlett is the secret founder and sole owner of the $60 billion Laurent Group his family has spent years trying to impress. When she reveals herself at her own gala, Derek's lies send the Mitchell empire into free fall. But the divorce soon exposes something far darker: a stolen billion-dollar formula, Scarlett's father missing for twelve years, and a marriage designed from the beginning to keep her under the Mitchell family's control.
