The new TV series was a grand historical show with a motivating theme, depleting the transformation of a once delicate young lady from a prominent family. After parting ways with her husband, her career flourished, ultimately becoming the wealthiest figure in Northwharf City.
The male lead was an audacious character who realized the leading to humorous and heartwarming attempts to win her back.

Sheena loved the script instantly and being the major shareholder, decisively invested in the production.
Having recently secured the Best Actress award, Phoebe was promptly cast as the female lead.
Aware of Sheena’s pregnancy, Phoebe took extra care of her safety on set, escorting her to the lounge before the ribbon–cutting ceremony.
As they chatted in the lounge, Sheena brought up an old topic.
“Phoebe, when I returned from Laubabwe, you mentioned the Nicholls banquet for you. It’s been a while; why haven’t I received an invitation?”

Phoebe smiled and replied nonchalantly, “I’m not planning to return to the Nicholls family for now, so I asked Mr. Romello not to organize a banquet.”
Sheena tightened her grip on Phoebe’s hand, saying, “That won’t do. You’re the Nicholls family heiress; eventually, you’ll be registered in the ancestry. The Nicholls family owes you for all these years, and when you go back, they should treat you well.”
Phoebe concealed her sadness. “But there’s nothing connecting them and me besides our blood relation. They don’t feel like family. You and Howard are closer to me than they are.”
Except for Romello, the Nicholls family members, especially Gabrielle, did not welcome Phoebe. In fact, her return disrupted the attention and care Gabrielle had received as the youngest daughter.
During Phoebe’s stay, Gabrielle was never friendly to her.
Moreover, Phoebe sensed that the Nicholls family was not as simple as it appeared.
The incident in her father’s study, where she found hidden photographs, troubled her. Despite feeling someone had indeed choked her, Romello assured her that nothing had happened.
Thinking about this, she asked Sheena, “Did you often go to the Nicholls family to play with Nathaniel or Gabrielle when you were a child? Have you ever met my mom?”
Sheena gave it a thought and said, “Not very often, just occasionally, usually during the Nicholls family events. Auntie Vanda seemed unwell, rarely leaving her room, especially during family. gatherings.”
Phoebe was puzzled. “Has it been like this for so many years?”

“Yes,” Sheena nodded, then asked, “What’s wrong? If you have any doubts, you can tell me, and I’ll have someone look into it.”
“Forget it, too much trouble. Maybe I’m just being overly suspicious. If there’s really an issue, we’ll find out sooner or later.”
As they were discussing, staff members came to invite them as it was almost time for the ribbon- cutting ceremony.
Phoebe redirected her focus, taking Sheena with her to the scene.
Since it was a period drama, the kickoff took place beneath the ancient city wall at Svelton World
Studios.
As they arrived, firecrackers resounded.
When the firecrackers subsided, over a hundred people entered one after another, including the director, producers, lead actors, and prop crew.
Once everyone was present, it was time for the ribbon–cutting ceremony.
As the biggest investor and representative of the drama’s financial support, Sheena stood in the center, with the director and lead actors on each side.
An usherette held a tray with golden scissors, presenting them to everyone.
Cameras and several media outlets surrounded them, capturing the moment with the clicking sounds of shutters. However, before Sheena could make the first cut, there was suddenly a commotion from
the side.
“Oh my gosh! Why is someone standing on the edge of the wall? Are they planning to jump?“.
