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.

The slap from Maria was so heavy that it caused Jocelyn's ears to ring.

Jocelyn looked at Maria, whose face became distorted and hideous from jealousy and viciousness.

"This is just a small lesson. If you don't leave Aren immediately, something a thousand times scarier will happen to you."

"If you don't believe me, we'll see!"

Maria vented her anger and finally stopped torturing Jocelyn.

She stood up and kicked Jocelyn's legs with the tip of her shoe. "Hey! Raise your face and let the camera capture this delightful moment."

Maria pulled out her phone and aimed the camera at Jocelyn's face.

Not wanting to be filmed like this, Jocelyn lowered her head and bit her lips.

The pain and grievance from her body made Jocelyn cry non-stop.
