DIVORCE ME PAY ME BACK $1.5 BILLION FIRST!
For three years of marriage, Jett Whitfield has always been an exquisite but insignificant accessory beside the heir of the Vanderbilt family in New York's high society. Gentle, reserved and always impeccably presented at her husband's side, she is branded a "trophy wife" by the public, and even her husband is convinced she is nothing but a delicate vine clinging to the family for survival. When their marriage comes to an end, her husband casually slides a $5 million divorce agreement across the table, his tone as dismissive as if he were casting aside an idle collectible, convinced this sum is a generous reward for her three years of "companionship". Faced with this humiliating settlement, Jett neither begs nor argues. She simply reveals the fangs she has hidden for three years: she is the hidden mastermind behind the Vanderbilt empire's miraculous revival three years ago. When the dynasty was on the brink of total collapse, she injected secret capital with ruthless precision, revitalized its global industrial chain, and single-handedly pulled the family back from the edge of ruin. What no one suspects is that this seemingly fragile socialite is also "Phantom", a top predator in the dark web. Her capital maneuvers and intelligence deals once sent shockwaves through half the underworld. She tears up the $5 million agreement on the spot and lays down her only demand: to reclaim the 4% stake in the Vanderbilt Group that is rightfully hers — a holding valued at $1.5 billion. Her demand ignites four battlefronts at once. The arrogant Vanderbilt clan fights back ferociously to guard their family control; blood relatives turn on each other to carve up the fortune; a brutal legal battle over equity ownership unfolds in court; and long-dormant dark web enemies resurface, tracking Phantom's trail to settle old scores. From Manhattan's penthouse ballrooms to the shadowy depths of the underground web, from verbal sparring at family dinners to life-or-death struggles in the business arena, Jett sheds her docile facade completely. With the sharp edge of her true power, she tears through the hypocrisy of the wealthy elite, fighting her way through layers of siege to reclaim all the glory and authority that belong to her.

When Lise heard rumors that Nicola had once broken her ex-husband's leg, she became determined to separate the couple. She locked up the food, symbolizing her control over the household, but Nicola broke the lock and confronted her directly.
