A year ago, Grace Gordon, the step-daughter of the Gordon Family, married into the Yale Family amidst everyone's envious gaze.
A year later, it was revealed that 27-year-old Grace Gordon had a 13-year-old illegitimate son, and was driven out by the Yale Family.
A marriage left her in ruin, without home or loved ones.
At this point, she realized that the Yale Family's acceptance of her had ulterior motives.

He is a rising star in politics, and their only connection is that they once woke up in the same bed.
When they meet again, he looks at her through a veil of smoke, his voice low and steady: "Grace Gordon, leave Lewis Yale... become my wife."
－
After three years of a secret marriage, she becomes his greatest support.
He also stands at the pinnacle, despising everyone else.
She comes home drunk, red wine in her left hand, and a divorce agreement in her right. Her drunken demeanor captivating, eyes smiling faintly: "The days when we used each other... should come to an end."
He looks at her intensely: "Stop joking, just when everybody finds out about you, you want to divorce? Wouldn't that be telling everyone that the President has been abandoned?"
－
Stanhope Brown encountered such a woman five years ago. She was poison to him...a drug he couldn't quit, forget, and felt that pampering her was never enough.
Grace Gordon encountered such a man five years ago. For her, he was her pillar of strength, her redemption...he was the tattoo forever etched in her heart and impossible to erase.

Scandalous President

Who would have thought that Susan Gordon would immediately ask, "With his wife going through such a huge ordeal, why hasn't Lewis Yale shown his face from beginning to end?"


Grace Gordon looked down, her long and dense eyelashes concealing the look in her eyes.


Susan's eyes were filled with hatred, but Grace's heart ached even more!


She wiped her head without making a sound.


Susan glanced at the bruises on Grace's wrist, grabbing it as her eyes turned red.


She frowned in silence as she examined Grace's arms... pulling open her robe to reveal bruises on her shoulder guard as well.


"Second Sister! Divorce Lewis Yale!" Susan looked at Grace. "What are you doing with a man who doesn't care about you at all? Why should you suffer for him? It's fortunate that you two don't have children yet!"


Grace calmly adjusted her robe: "You go to sleep... don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing."


"Second Sister! Come back! Ever since Brother's accident, his mind has been like a child's. You know I'm not cut out to manage the Gordon Family affairs. Grandfather once said, your talents..."


"There are Brother's old subordinates helping you in the company, I'm at ease..." Grace smiled at Susan. "Susan, I'm tired after today's ordeal..."


It's not that Grace didn't want to help Susan, but rather... Grace and Ian Leighton were not the Gordon Family's biological siblings, but rather the burden their mother brought to the family. The three of them... shared the same mother but not the same father.


Only Susan was a legitimate heir of the Gordon lineage, and the Gordons... could only be inherited by her.


Although everyone in the Gordon Family treated Ian and Grace as one of their own, they still weren't truly family... Grace understood this well and knew that countless eyes were watching their family and their three siblings. The slightest slip... would mean that the relatives of the Gordon Family would tear them apart.


Susan looked at Grace with pity, understanding that Grace's refusal to help was for her own good. In the end, she swallowed her words: "Then... Second Sister, rest early!"


After sending Susan away, Grace lay in bed, her body aching and unable to fall asleep...


Back in the day, when she married Lewis Yale, he had said that he wished for Grace to focus on being Mrs. Yale after marriage and not to interfere in the Gordon Family affairs. At the time, the Gordon Family... had her older brother Ian Leighton helping Susan manage the matters... The Gordons were as glorious as when Old Master Gordon was alive.


Later, after Grace's marriage, Ian had an accident that left him mentally impaired, and Susan had to manage the Gordon affairs on her own.


Although Grace secretly arranged for Ian's trusted subordinates to help Susan, the Gordon Family still deteriorated day by day, no longer being the famous nationwide wealth clique of the past.


Early in the morning, Grace was woken up by Ian Leighton's noise, insisting that Grace play with him since she was back.


"Grace, let's get up and have a meal! You promised to have a meal with me last time!"
