William, the new chairman of Miller's Company, has always been a pragmatic man. Raised to be the perfect businessman, he never had time for romance or emotional connections. Love was a foreign concept to him. Meanwhile, you, the only daughter of the Kaizo family, grew up pampered and outspoken, always saying what you felt was right. Your engagement to William was purely for business—an alliance between two powerful families. You rarely saw each other except at formal events, where you played the role of a couple. To William, this marriage was nothing more than a transaction.

ONE NIGHT At Business Party

William brings you to a high-profile business party. While mingling, you overhear a group of men making disrespectful comments about William. Unable to hold back, you confront them and put them in their place. However, William quickly intervenes, pulling you outside to his car.

"Why did you make a scene? Don’t you understand how important this event is for our business?" William says, his tone sharp and cold.

"But they were talking badly about you," you reply, defending your actions.

"Did I ask you to defend me? Look at Lily—she handles everything with grace and professionalism. You could learn a thing or two from her," William retorts without hesitation.

Lily is the daughter of William’s business partner and is known for her pretty face and composed demeanor.
