Your Dumped Housewife Is Your Boss

Linda gave up her billionaire legacy to marry Nick. On their tenth wedding anniversary, Nick took their daughter Audrey to his ex Claire's birthday party. Kidnappers seized them and demanded $2 million. Linda called her estranged father for the money. At the exchange, the kidnappers demanded $1 million per head. With only $2 million for three hostages, they offered a trade: Linda takes Claire's place. Audrey suggested it. Nick agreed, arguing Claire could not handle it but Linda could.

Linda surrendered herself. She spent three years tortured in a drug lab, holding onto Nick's promise to return with the money. He never came. She was rescued by Julian, who worked for the Hastings Group, and returned to her father. Thirteen years earlier she had cut ties with him for Nick. He offered her the CEO position of Hastings Group, worth tens of billions. She asked for three days to see her family first.

She went home. Nick, Audrey, and Claire were living together. Audrey called her a homeless freak and rejected her. Claire manipulated the household. Claire admitted she had arranged the kidnapping: "I was the one who arranged all of this." Linda tried to expose her to Nick, but he did not believe her. Claire injured herself to frame Linda. Nick voiced his disappointment in Linda.

At the hospital, Nick stayed by Claire's side while Linda's injuries were serious, and Linda asked if Nick ever really loved her. At Audrey's eighth birthday, Claire gave expensive gifts and a $20 million contract with Hastings Group. Linda pointed out it needed the CEO's signature. They mocked her. Audrey wished for a family of three without Linda.

Linda decided to leave. She called her father and told him to send the jet. She declared herself Linda Hastings, the Hastings family heiress. She was ready to take the CEO position.
