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.

Luke sat up straight in his seat and looked straight at Mrs. Wilson. He could clearly see the subtle change in Mrs. Wilson's face.

"Mr. Luke, I'm not questioning you. I just want to ask if Master Aren only instructed you to find Jocelyn and not Maria? Please think carefully. Did you forget someone's name?"

Looking at Mrs. Wilson's anxious face and how badly she wanted to push Maria into Aren's arms, Luke pouted unhappily.

As Aren's assistant, how could he have forgotten what Aren said?

Although Luke was cursing in his heart, his expression remained unchanged.

"I'm not deaf, so I'm certain that Master Aren is only looking for Miss Jocelyn and didn't mention Miss Maria."

Luke raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch. He said, "Mrs. Wilson, my time is very precious, so can you call Miss Jocelyn out as soon as possible?"
