At this time, Setrick was facing a huge crisis of being deprived of custody by the CPS (Child Protection Services Bureau) due to his absence all the year round, and urgently needed a perfect wife to win the hearing. When the tired Saila returned home, she found out that her husband cheated on her and learned that her real identity was actually the heir of a top rich family. The suffering of the past seven years was all a blind scam he set up to test Saila's "not worship of money". The angry Saila decisively proposed a divorce, but her ex-husband took advantage of her absolute economic hegemony to get out of the house, and even her biological daughter was bribed with money. He not only scolded her as a "poor ghost", but also pushed her fiercely.

Saila, who had nothing, resolutely signed and not only became a perfect mother at the hearing, but also started a counterattack with Setrick, who hit her ex-husband in the face and healed each other.
