For three years, Ione was nothing more than a decorative wife in Cillian's eyes. He remembered his friends, his stocks, and his first love Odette—but never her birthday, her illness, or her waiting. When Odette returned, Cillian openly defended her, moved her into the master bedroom, while Ione faced a five-month induction alone in a hospital. She decides to divorce, giving up every asset for a clean ending. Cillian refuses to sign, using delay, media, and schemes to pressure her. Then her true identity surfaces—she is the founder of the mysterious design studio WEN and the lost heiress of Aldridge Group. The wife he dismissed had been quietly holding Hale Group together. She cuts ties, exposes the truth, and takes the industry stage, driving Cillian to ruin. At last, she signs the divorce decree and walks onto her own award stage.
