He finds that Jessie is no longer in bed with him and confronts her in the living room, where she is in a heated argument with a man. Jessie reveals that her brother is in dire financial straits, burdened with a massive debt that he urgently needs to repay.Grayson, willing to help, offers her the money, but Jessie is skeptical, wondering how a modest bookseller like him could have such a large sum. At this point, Grayson reveals his true identity as the son of the late billionaire, Edward Parker, who founded Co Parker's Industries. Grayson, despite his wealth, had chosen to live a low-key life after his mother's passing.Jessie is shocked by the revelation but ultimately accepts Grayson's assistance, though she is still unsure about it.

Grayson suspects that the man is Jessie's brother, Alex, but after a tense confrontation, he realizes something is amiss.Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Grayson investigates Jessie's Instagram page, only to discover that her life and friends' images were manipulated through Photoshop. He tries calling her repeatedly but to no avail, and weeks pass without any communication.Grayson's life takes an unexpected turn when his father, Edward Parker, passes away.

To his surprise, he discovers that his father's will leaves him with only twenty percent of the inheritance, while the remaining eighty percent goes to Nicole, his father's new and much younger wife.Little does Grayson know, that Nicole is not what she seems. She's a skilled con artist who used to work alongside a woman named Jessie and their boss, Javier. Nicole knew about Edward's impending death and manipulated him into believing she could manage the family company. Grayson is understandably furious when he learns this but decides to head back to California.Coincidentally, Grayson encounters Jessie in dire straits on the streets of New York.

The whole setup was an elaborate plan to expose the criminals. Nicole, thinking she had harmed Grayson, agrees to hand over her wealth to a charity owned by Grayson's late father to avoid going to jail.The con artists are then sent away to a remote location to start fresh, but one of them, Jessie, manages to escape with the help of Grayson's friends. As a result, Grayson inherits eighty percent of the company left to him, making him the sole owner of Co Parker Industries.Jessie, despite her criminal past, realizes her love for Grayson and decides to change her ways.
