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.


Contracted Bride Is Trapped By Her Husband

Mrs. Wilson, who had been woken up early in the morning by Maria and was forced to stay here to help her choose her clothes, yawned. She frowned in disapproval at Maria's request.

"Maria, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?"

Maria subconsciously wanted to retort, but since there were still maids around, she had to shut her mouth in embarrassment.

She did not want these low-class maids to know that her family went bankrupt.

Maria walked up to Mrs. Wilson and said aggrievedly, "But Mother, I need help. If you don't help me, how can I dress up beautifully? If I don't look beautiful, how can I get Master Aren to look at me?"

Mrs. Wilson looked at Maria. Although she didn't want to admit it, Maria indeed didn't look as pretty as Jocelyn.

Mr. Wilson had not given her money yet. In her bank account, there was only 100,000 USD now, which she needed for daily expenses.
