Emmeline confronts her father over his plan to resign and name her incompetent brother Jonas as his successor, furious that her hard work for the family company is overlooked. She proposes a partnership with the Anderson Group to secure her position, only to discover the mysterious Mr. X she’s been negotiating with is actually Jonas—who shocks her with a marriage proposal.
As Emmeline pushes for the company’s biggest deal ever, Jonas sabotages her by leaking news of her “gardeners husband” marriage, aiming to discredit her judgment and seize the CEO role. Unbeknownst to her, the marriage is part of Jonas’s revenge plot, and her fiancé Jeff is a pawn in a six-year-old deal with her father. When Emmeline uncovers the scams, chaos erupts: Jonas tries to kill their father to claim the company, and in the aftermath, Emmeline finds a man seemingly dead on the sofa—her grief quickly turning to a cold smile.
