My Enemy, My Love

Evelyn Berg, the queen of Fog Harbor's largest casino, "Galaxy," took over her father's casino, massive debts, and a fire that killed seven people at seventeen. For eight years, the whole city has regarded her as an arsonist and murderer. Young certified senior auditor Sasha White joins Galaxy as deputy finance director, her true purpose being to investigate the truth behind her mother's death in that fire eight years ago—she is convinced Evelyn is the killer. On her first day, Sasha witnesses Evelyn publicly defusing a situation for her, changing her shoes, and settling her into the underground accounts room, only for Sasha to be ambushed by finance director Reid and the Lion Club boss. Evelyn arrives in time, shoots Reid dead in public, saves Sasha, and binds them both into the same dangerous bargain. Sasha is forced to cook the books for Evelyn, and while auditing, she discovers that all the signatures from eight years ago were forged, and that the true masterminds are second shareholder Jellard and auction house president Kian—who have long been selling casino clients who lose everything into an underground auction house and framing Evelyn. Sasha is once deceived by Jellard and locked in a glass case at the auction house; Evelyn rescues her at gunpoint, but Sasha realizes she was used as "bait" to draw out Jellard, and the two fall out. Three months later, at the hearing, Jellard produces the stolen fake account book to counter-accuse Evelyn, but at the last moment Sasha bursts into the courtroom with the evidence, testifying on the spot to Jellard and Kian's human trafficking crimes. In the end, Jellard is sentenced to life imprisonment, Kian to twenty-five years, and Evelyn is fined five million and awarded twelve million in compensation. The truth comes out: the arsonist eight years ago was Evelyn's father. Evelyn took the blame for eight years, bearing everything alone. In the old case files, Sasha finds a note left by her mother—Evelyn had promised early on to protect her. The two reconcile. Evelyn sells the casino, pays severance to her employees, and ultimately starts a legitimate security company with Sasha, beginning a new life.
