As the granddaughter of the wealthiest magnate in San Heith, Cynthia Shannon had been in a relationship with Joe Louise for three years, only to find her sincere affections spurned and left in the dust.
Joe regarded her as a simple rural woman, and on their wedding day, he abandoned her to pursue another dazzling beauty, leaving Cynthia heartbroken. But once she decisively ended the relationship, she reclaimed her status as a wealthy heiress, inheriting a fortune worth billions. Her life then ascended to its pinnacle, yet there were always scoundrels who emerged to vex her.
Amidst Cynthia's efforts to deal with these scoundrels, a certain Mr. Ford, known for inspiring dread in anyone who heard his name, stood by, applauding her with admiration. "My formidable wife," Mr. Ford praised.
Cynthia Shannon replied, "Please mind your choice of words."
Mr. Ford half-closed his eyes, leaning elegantly against the bed, his movements bewitching. "With this token as evidence, do you still want to deny our bond?"

"A mere woman trying to compete with men in the business world? The chances of success are slim. I bet Miss. Shannon got scared and didn't dare to show up!"


"Regardless, she is the appointed successor of the Quinn Family, chosen by Hugh Quinn himself. Even if she does nothing and lives off the family's wealth, she can live comfortably for a hundreds of years. It's unexpected that you dare to underestimate her." A sarcastic voice floated lightly in the air.
