Lily grew up with her mother after her father left them. The reason he left them was to protect her from his family. Her mother and father were never married, which made Lily an illegitimate child.
What Lily didn't know was that her father was the derictor of their large family business and was a very wealthy man. After her father passed away, Lily inherited everything, which was quite a shock to Lily and her family. Her grandfather strongly disagreed that Lily should take over the family business. But her grandmother was behind her as she had watched over her for years.
