On the night of their fifth wedding anniversary, Isabella White is cast out of her wealthy family—stripped of everything—by her husband, Ethan, and her mother-in-law, Victoria. Among her late mother’s belongings, she discovers a 1933 trust deed for the White family estate. Clause 17 stipulates that if an heir commits marital infidelity, all voting rights held by that heir shall be transferred to their lawful spouse. Within 45 days, the woman who had lost it all claws her way back from the backrooms of Chinatown to the annual general meeting of the Marlowe Group. Through courtroom counterattacks, corporate short-selling, the uncovering of a murder, and a high-profile public arrest, she settles old scores one by one—clearing the slate so she can finally begin writing her own new chapter.
