After the death of Jocelyn's mother, her father brings home his mistress who then becomes Jocelyn's stepmother. Gradually, she becomes the least favorite person in the family. Her stepmother is mean and her younger sister always bullies her, taking away everything that belongs to her. Meanwhile, the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to her father being a gambler and her stepmother and sister being spendthrifts. At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore! The stepmother says to Jocelyn, &quot; If your sister could attract Master Aren, even you, a motherless girl, would also be a beneficiary. By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family. She just wants to get away from this ridiculous wife-picking affair, but fate seems to be leading her towards… The first time they meet, Jocelyn has a one-night stand with Master Aren. The second time they meet, Master Aren gets out of the car in front of Jocelyn's family and grabs her wrist. &quot; Do you think you can run away from me again?” Later, Mr. Brown announced that his future wife will be—Jocelyn.

"As you guys can see, Aren likes Miss Jocelyn a lot, so the banquet today is held for them to announce their engagement."

Looking at the two of them coming over hand in hand, Madam Brown held the microphone and continued to explain, "Alright, it's time to have fun, please enjoy yourself."

Everyone watched as Jocelyn walked up to Madam Brown and started clapping!

All the girls present cast envious gazes on Jocelyn. The moment Young Master Aren appeared, all the girls were in awe of his handsomeness, thinking to themselves, "Miss Jocelyn is really lucky to have such a handsome fiancé. How I wish I was his fiancee."

After the engagement was announced, the banquet continued.

However, from then on, no one took a second look at Maria. Maria couldn't help but sob when she felt the drastic change in everyone's attitude. She walked towards Mr. Wilson and said aggrievedly, "Father, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back first!"
