Hidden Empress Brings Him Down

Serena Quinn spent five years hiding who she really is: the last heir of one of America's most powerful "shadow dynasties." She played the docile wife, raised her daughter Ivy, and secretly bankrolled her husband Evan's entire career from behind the scenes. When Evan cheats, files for divorce, and tries to take custody of Ivy, Serena decides to stop hiding. That billion-dollar contract he fought so hard for? The company is hers. The powerful families who once sneered at the ice-cream vendor? Now they're kneeling and begging. But just as Serena reclaims everything, a darker truth surfaces — someone tried to kill her seven years ago, and the trail leads straight to the very top of power.
