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.

"Didn't you hear the conversation between Aren and me just now? Our relationship is not good, so he won't help me. About that, you can rest assured."

"As for what you said about stalling for time, it's even more unlikely. Don't you already have the secret? What's the point of me stalling for time? Besides making you angrier and punishing me more, it won't bring me any benefits."

"The reason why I said next week is that I need to accompany Madam Brown this week. If I don't appear in front of Madam Brown on time, she will definitely be angry and investigate my whereabouts. When that time comes, everything between the two of us will be exposed."

"If the thing between us is exposed, I believe you know better than me what kind of trouble and consequences it will bring us. After all, I won't be the only one who suffers."

Jocelyn gave a serious and convincing explanation, which dispelled the doubts Miles had.
