Three years ago, Ava Quinn, an ordinary jewelry restorer, entered into a secret marriage with Ethan Blackwood, CEO of the Blackwood Group, to raise money for her mother’s medical treatment. Ethan believed it was a marriage of convenience where both parties got what they wanted, and he never truly understood Ava. His stepmother, Margaret, and socialite Vanessa conspired to frame Ava, leading Ethan to believe she was greedy, a thief, and unfaithful.
On the day of their divorce, Ava was kicked out of the Blackwood mansion—only to reclaim her true identity: the sole heir to the founder of Quinn Tech, holding a core patent powerful enough to alter the Blackwood Group’s fate.
Ava offered no explanations; instead, she returned to Ethan’s world as an investor, creditor, and technology owner. As his company faced a crisis, Ethan gradually discovered that over the past three years, Ava had been secretly patching the system, thwarting merger and acquisition traps, and shielding him from patent lawsuits.
