"Sometimes it's about remembering and never forgiving."

Jane Devold, the only daughter of the CEO of one of the most successful tech companies in the country, grew up to be a seemingly happy and spoiled young woman, despite her stuttering and fragile condition. 

However, her rich and elegant way of living ends in a heartbeat when her father goes missing, leaving Jane alone and with an enormous debt on her hands. 

That's when she reunites with Vernon Lin, her strange and intimidating senior from college, who claims to be the new owner of her father's company and promises to resolve her financial issues if she agrees to marry him.

His offer seems harmless, and Jane accepts his helping hand only to realize that Vernon's intentions are not so pure, and his personality is still miles away from that of a knight in shining armor.

Until he realizes that without her, his own life is hell, too.

No, it wasn't that she felt guilty for betraying Charles. What tore her apart was the fact that she was betraying herself. She was betraying her own dignity... all for the sake of money.

Exhausted, both physically and emotionally, Jane nodded silently, her eyes fixed on the floor beneath her. She had no strength left to protest or even speak.
