After American billionaire James Ward divorced his French ex-wife, their daughter Camille lived with her mother in France. James spent time with her on European business trips, and Camille, bilingual in English and French, accompanied him to high-end events as an interpreter, shining brightly. Vain Eva Grant staged a "damsel saves hero" stunt—hiring men to fake an assassination and taking a "stab wound"—to win James’ trust and become his fiancée, with her mother helping her secure the position by any means. Unaware Camille was James’ daughter, Eva mistook her for a mistress and bullied her at the beach wedding venue, a repeat of their high school summer camp encounter where Eva’s clique had targeted her. James rescued Camille, and Eva’s group turned on each other, exposing Eva’s affair and pregnancy with her friend’s boyfriend Bob, Kelly’s jealousy-fueled scheming, and Eva’s mother using her as a social climbing tool. As they brawled, James threw them all into the sea.
