Out of gratitude, Liliana married Shattock due to a "Gratitude Contract," only to be treated as a housemaid while he cherished his true love, Bella. After discovering he was injured rushing to see Bella, a heartbroken Liliana divorced him. She then secretly joined a top-tier research team. Two years later, she emerged as the lead scientist of a breakthrough superconductor project. At her contract-signing gala, a regretful Shattock knelt and begged, but she coldly rejected him, exposing the contract's truth. She walked away with Frederick, who had always supported her, leaving Shattock to finally understand: belated affection is worthless.
