She Left as a Housewife. Returned as a Legend.

In the villa, Seraphine Lavien saw her own design work on TV.

"Congratulations to Miss Brooks for winning this year's jewelry design competition championship. Now let's invite Mr. Stuart, President of the Stuart Group, to present her with the award."

The camera turned to the side of the stage.

Charles Stuart, dressed in a black suit with a straight posture like a pine tree, walked onto the stage and handed the trophy to Vivian Brooks.

On that usually cold face, there was a rare hint of a smile.

Then, a little boy in a small suit ran onto the stage holding a bouquet.

"Sean!" Vivian knelt, pulling Sean Stuart and the flowers into her arms, and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, sweetheart!"

The reporters' cameras flashed wildly.

"Mr. Stuart, Ms. Brooks's work is so stunning. As the award presenter, what are your thoughts?"

"It's said that this design, called 'Nocturne', was inspired by love. Can Ms. Brooks share more about it?"

"The little boy is so cute! He looks so much like Ms. Brooks."

"What a happy family."

They really did look like a family.

Seraphine tried to smile, but found she couldn't.

Today was her and Charles's wedding anniversary.

It was also supposed to be her award ceremony.

This "Nocturne" design was something she had worked on for three whole months, revising it seventeen times before finalizing it.

However, her original draft was ruined by Vivian with a cup of coffee.

And the design achievement, with the approval of her husband and biological son, was given to Vivian.

So Vivian copied it and submitted it to the competition as her own work.

Vivian was Charles's first love. They had almost gotten married.

But seven years ago, Charles had been drugged by someone. At that time, Seraphine was working part-time at that hotel, and by chance, she ended up entering his room.

The next morning, the story of Charles and Seraphine's private meeting at the hotel was posted online by an entertainment reporter known for exposing scandals of wealthy families.

After seeing the news, Vivian was heartbroken and bought a plane ticket to leave the country the next day.

Charles had wanted to chase after Vivian, but his parentsstepped in. To calm the public opinion and stabilize the Stuart Family's stock price, they forced him to marry Seraphine.

Actually, Seraphine had always known that Charles didn't like her.

So at first, she didn't want to marry Charles, even though not long after sleeping with him, she discovered she was pregnant.

She had told Charles's parents that she could have an abortion.

But they rejected her suggestion.

To force Seraphine to be with Charles, Charles's parents threatened her using the fact that Seraphine had received financial support from the Stuart Family.

Seraphine was an orphan. She could go to college thanks to the Stuart Family's help.

To repay this debt, Seraphine eventually married Charles.

After marriage, she gave up her career to focus on taking care of Charles and Sean at home.

Since Charles believed that Seraphine was the one who drugged him that night and that she had schemed to marry him, he had always been cold to her after marriage.

Seraphine wasn't discouraged by this. She believed that as long as she kept being good to Charles, he would eventually accept her.

But Vivian's return made all of Seraphine's efforts over the past seven years a joke.

Three months ago, Vivian returned to the country. She found Charles and told him she had cancer, and her only wish before dying was to be with Charles again.

Charles agreed to her request.
