When Claire Sutton was three months pregnant, the prestigious Fulton Estate—the richest family in Northbridge—hosted an extravagant banquet to celebrate her pregnancy, spending hundreds of millions of dollars. Eleanor Fulton, Charles's mother, presented Claire with the Fulton Family heirloom emerald bracelet, officially welcoming her as the family's daughter-in-law. William Fulton, Charles's father, gifted her a 10% stake in Fulton Holdings. Charles, her husband, gave her a flower that never fades—a symbol of everlasting love. This rare flower only blooms once every ten years, growing on the edge of a cliff. Claire had only said, "It's beautiful," and Charles risked death on the cliffside, barely surviving, just to pick it for her. Every woman out there said Claire was blessed—born under a lucky star. She had the love and approval of her powerful in-laws from the Fulton Estate, and a billionaire husband who adored her to the core. But then, out of nowhere, Charles's ex-girlfriend, Rachel Moore, showed up at the banquet. She flashed a big smile and congratulated Charles, "Congrats, Charles! Looks like you're about to be a dad." But before Charles could even crack a smile, Rachel's expression suddenly changed. She frowned and said, "But wait, something's off!" "Charles, didn't everyone say you couldn't have kids?"
