The Marriage ContractEpisode 14

Synopsis

Philippe Bastien is the heir to one of the wealthiest conglomerates owned by Émile Bastien in Paris. He is used to having the world at his feet and people at his beck and call. Unknown to him, the source of his family's wealth is deeply tied to a society and to a clause that guides its members. It’s stated that as the heir, Philippe would have to marry one of the daughters of his father's business partners and fellow society members, in order to renew their partnership and in turn, preserve their wealth. Ava Dubois, the only daughter of an equally wealthy French businessman, Martin Dubois has always hated the life she was born into. The dislike for excesses, party lifestyle, and intrusion from the paparazzi has made her become a low-key person. She avoids anything that would bring her back to the spotlight so imagine her surprise when she's summoned to fulfill the marriage contract. Ava is irritated by Philippe's image and rich playboy persona but is obligated to marry him to please her father. When Philippe, who never goes for plain-looking ladies, meets Ava, he is taken aback by her simple appearance and wonders how she could be from such a family. Their personalities clash and it becomes clear that their marriage would be anything but rosy except they find a way out or magically fall in love with each other...
