Mistaken for His Mistress
Emma had only come home to attend her billionaire father's engagement ceremony. But her fiancée Selena mistook her for her father's mistress. Driven by jealousy and despair, Selena humiliated Emma during a livestream, incited her mother and friends to assault her, and destroyed all the evidence. Later, Richard discovered the truth: the woman bleeding on the ground was none other than his beloved daughter. The yacht party ultimately became a courtroom trial — and everyone who hurt Emma would not escape justice.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Richard waits at the airport himself, refusing the VIP lounge. His staff whisper that he's supposed to propose at Selena's birthday party tonight — so why is he picking up another woman personally? When Emma walks out, he lights up: "There's my girl. You're finally home." He calls her his princess, the most important person in his world, and says he'd rather stay single forever than lose her approval. He carries her bags and escorts her to the yacht's VIP suite — the one cabin even Selena has never entered. Chloe sees it all and makes the call: Selena's fiancé just took another woman upstairs.
Episode 2
Chloe sends Selena photos as proof: Richard took a strange woman into his private VIP suite. Selena refuses to believe it at first, but the timing is brutal — tonight is her birthday party, the night she's meant to step into New York's elite. If this woman makes Richard call off the engagement, everything she's built collapses. Selena's answer is pure venom: anyone who tries to stop her from becoming Mrs. Sterling, she'll burn to the ground. She orders Jessica and the others to the yacht. They're going now, to catch the pair in the act.
Episode 3
Aboard the yacht, Richard's schedule is confirmed: he'll speak in the main banquet hall at eight, with the engagement announcement kept under wraps for now. He wants Emma to meet Selena first — and more than that, he wants Emma's blessing before he marries anyone. Emma teases him about sounding like a job interviewer, then surprises him with a gift for the baby he and Selena might have someday. Richard gives her something back: a trust fund beneficiary amendment. She isn't just his little girl tucked away in Europe — she's the sole heir to his entire company.
Episode 4
Selena seethes over the details: Richard is personally walking this woman into the VIP suite on the very night he's supposed to announce their engagement. Her friends feed the fear — what if Richard plans to humiliate her at her own party? Selena decides she won't wait to find out. Access is handled; they can get inside right now. Meanwhile, Emma stands alone with her thoughts, wishing her late mother could see this night, promising to give Richard her blessing on her mother's behalf. Then the door bursts open.
Episode 5
Selena storms in and grabs Emma, demanding to know who she is and why she's in her room. She calls Emma a cheap bitch, convinced this is the woman crawling back to steal her man on her birthday. Emma insists she has it all wrong — she's his. Selena refuses to let her speak, ordering Chloe to start a livestream on every platform. With three million followers and New York's finest packed onto the yacht, Selena announces she's ripping this shameless woman's mask off for the world. Emma's defense cuts through: "I am not Richard's mistress. I'm his daughter, his real daughter."
Episode 6
The livestream audience wavers — Richard does have a daughter who's been abroad. Could this be a misunderstanding? Chloe panics, but Selena clings to what she heard: Richard called this woman sweetheart and said he'd call off the proposal for her. Emma explains that's just her dad being her dad. Then Richard calls Selena, telling her his daughter just got back from Europe and to head to the banquet hall and make a good first impression. Selena almost buys it — until she checks the name: Emma Brown. "If you were really his daughter, how come your last name's Brown?"
Episode 7
Emma begs Selena to listen, offering proof — her father has photos of her from every year of her life locked in his company safe. Selena twists it into a trap: the two of them cooked up this "daughter" act to cover an affair. She tells the crowd Emma wormed her way into Richard's trust fund and now claims to be his daughter. Emma even knows the safe combination, which Selena doesn't. Selena orders her dragged to the banquet hall — they'll deal with the mistress first. Margaret gloats that their family is about to hit the jackpot, already counting herself the future Mrs. Sterling.
Episode 8
Margaret joins the attack, grabbing the baby items and sneering at Emma for sinking her claws into her son-in-law. Then the pieces click into something uglier: baby shoes, a silver rattle. Selena demands to know what's going on — and accuses Emma of showing up to the engagement party pregnant to stake her claim. She announces it to everyone: this mistress arrived pregnant with some bastard, trying to steal her man. Meanwhile, Richard gets word of trouble — Selena started a livestream, and something bad is going down at the birthday party.
Episode 9
Richard can't reach Selena — the livestream just died. He'd told her a thousand times to make a good impression on Emma, and now fear takes over: if Selena scared her or hurt her, he swears he'll make her pay. He orders everyone to the yacht immediately. Back at the party, the cruelty escalates — Emma's mother is dragged into the insults, mocked as the only way she knew how to raise a man-stealing slut. That's the line. Emma snaps: "Don't you dare talk about my mother." And then it turns violent.
The truth is already on its way to that yacht — watch and see who's still standing when Richard walks in.
