I am the future master of the Scout family, yet I am a woman. To help me secure my position as the heir in the future, my father, Henry Scout, adopted three elder brothers. They grew up with me and were groomed into elites of high society. He even implied that he would choose one of them to marry me someday. However, all of them detest me deeply and have never looked at me with respect. I confessed my love to Jason Reeves a hundred times, but none of those attempts succeeded. That was until I caught him secretly dating the housekeeper's daughter. He said, "I'll only marry Eleanor Scout for the status of heir. Once I become the heir to the Scout family, she will be no more than a servant to you." When my parents asked me to pick a fiancé, I glanced at the reclusive-looking face in the news and smiled, "Mom, Dad, when choosing my husband, we must certainly seek someone of equal social status." Then, I said, "I want to marry him." My parents frowned as they looked at the cold and aloof man on TV. “He doesn't like women. Are you really determined to marry him?"
