Ex on His Knees While I Walk Into High Society
Dream Searcher
On their fourth wedding anniversary, Sophia Layton's husband, Phillip Springer, demands a divorce from her. All because his first love, Roxanne Hough, has just returned to the country with her daughter on their lonesome.
Sophia doesn't beg for him to stay. Instead, she agrees to the divorce swiftly. But she receives the news of her son, Joshua Springer, being down with leukemia, before the divorce actually goes through.
At first, Phillip intends to fight for Joshua's custody despite the fact that the latter isn't of his own kin. But when he finds out that Joshua is ill, he doesn't hesitate to abandon him on the spot.
Since then, Sophia juggles the tasks of rebooting her career, accompanying Joshua to treatments, and proceeding with the court divorce.
One day, Marcus Carter, an insanely wealthy man, comes knocking on Sophia's door.
"Ms. Layton, your son has Carter blood flowing through his veins. If you're willing to let him keep my mother company from time to time, I can fulfill all of your desires."
Sophia is stunned, to say the least.
It turns out that Joshua—conceived through the IVF procedure that Sophia did in the past—is actually the kin of an elite family!
To think that the little boy, who was once thought of as a burden in his first family, would transform into a wealthy scion!
Thanks to Joshua, Sophia, who has been abandoned by her trashy ex-husband, becomes the Carters' VIP guest.
On the other hand, Phillip's career suffers a huge hit. When he finds out that Sophia's the only person who can resolve his company's crisis, he sinks to his knees and attempts to beg her to stay. At that point, he's overwhelmed with remorse.
But it so happens that Marcus decides to propose to Sophia on the spot.
"Let's get married. If you're willing to give birth to another child for me, half of the Carters' assets will be yours."
