After my father died, the illegitimate daughter he raised overseas, Shirley Cullen, immediately returned to the country to fight me for the ancestral house. I was the only legitimate daughter. I had a will in my hands. Yet I still lost the house. Because my fiancé, Marcus Culver, the man who ruled Denver City with absolute power, insisted on helping Shirley fight me. He stood in front of Shirley's wheelchair and protected her, impatiently persuaded me, "The money I gave you was enough to buy several houses like this. "Do you have no compassion at all? Why fight with a disabled person?" I retorted in disbelief, "Fight? The house was the only thing my mother left me." In the end, Marcus helped Shirley win the case. He looked at my red, swollen eyes with a hint of guilt. "Nadia, I'll make it up to you in the future." But I knew there was no future for us anymore.
