For three years, Claire stood by her husband, Ethan, when he had nothing. But no matter what she did, her mother-in-law looked down on her for not being able to have children.
Then oil was discovered beneath Ethan's family ranch. Convinced he was about to become a millionaire, Ethan immediately demanded a divorce, planning to marry his pregnant mistress. He even spread rumors that Claire was infertile.
Claire signed the divorce papers without hesitation. She already knew something they didn't. When her grandfather sold the ranch decades ago, he'd kept the mineral rights. And Claire had inherited them.
At Ethan's lavish wedding, just as he was bragging about his future fortune, a representative from the oil company revealed that the mineral rights actually belonged to Claire!
Ethan was stunned.
Claire smirked. "The ranch is yours. But the oil underneath it? That's mine."
Ethan's dreams of getting rich came crashing down. He begged Claire to take him back, but she was done with him.
Now worth millions, Claire set out to build her own oil empire, becoming the powerful woman her ex and his family could only dream of impressing.
