Evelyn's life is crumbling around her—her brother wrongfully imprisoned, her father incapacitated by a stroke, and her family's business on the brink of bankruptcy. All this chaos has been masterfully orchestrated by her fiancé, Herman. In her darkest hour, she turns to Chris, a wealthy heir, for help. He uses her as a shield to ward off unwanted attention without promising any real support.

Finally, Chris corners her and teases, "Well, look who it is. Isn't this my fiancée to whom I am never engaged?"
