The day Lily Evans was recognized as the heiress of the Sterling family, she refused her brother Samuel Sterling's offer to return to Northbridge. With red-rimmed eyes and a trembling voice, she asked for only one thing. "Samuel... can you give me a lot of money?" Lily's husband, Jason Johnson, was suffering from acute renal failure. The doctors said without an immediate transplant, he wouldn't survive. Lily needed the money to save him. Samuel, ruthless in the boardroom, broke down and cried. When his pleas failed, he pressed a $300 million card into her palm and left, his heart heavy. Lily wiped away her tears, still wearing her tattered, dirty clothes, and ran. She wanted to tell Jason the good news. At the ward door, she heard voices inside. "Good thing Jason's smart. If he hadn't faked acute renal failure, that country bumpkin Lily would never have agreed to donate her kidney to Sophie." "Lily's so stupid. Jason tricked her by pretending to be poor when they first met. Now he's tricked her again by pretending to be sick."
