Plot
Kate Blackwell has died and left the company in the hands of her
granddaughters, Eve Blackwell-Webster and Alexandra Blackwell-Templeton,
who are both pregnant. Eve secretly vows revenge against her husband
Keith, who deliberately destroyed her face during a plastic surgery
procedure so she would never leave him, and Alexandra's family, who she
believes ruined her plan to acquire total control of the family company,
Kruger-Brent Ltd. Weeks later, Alexandra hemorrhages giving birth to
Alexandra "Lexi" Templeton, while Eve painstakingly gives birth to a son
named Max. While Lexi grows up showered with love from everyone in her
household, Max is raised by his mother to hate his cousins and his
father and to aim for total control of Kruger-Brent Ltd. one day.
On their joint eighteen birthday, Max makes it clear to Lexi that he
hates her after she easily wins over Kruger-Brent's board members
despite his attempts to charm them, and vows to make the company all
his. Lexi's older brother, Robbie, is a successful pianist and wants
nothing to do with the company and gives his share to Lexi. With Lexi
standing to gain 2/3 control of the company when she turns twenty-five,
Eve sends Max to seduce her, and they slowly form a romantic
relationship. Lexi lets her guard down and willingly gives him the code
to her safe, where he finds a memory card filled with racy pictures from
her college days and leaks it to the public. The board members
unanimously agree to terminate Lexi from Kruger-Brent for her bad
publicity, giving full control to Max. However, after a year, Lexi's new
company "Templeton" restores her professional reputation and outshines
Kruger-Brent, which is failing due to Max's unsteady control.
When Lexi opens a branch of her company in Africa, her company comes
into conflict with Phoenix Industries, owned by her distant relative,
Gabriel McGregor. Although initially attracted to him, Lexi does not
pursue him after knowing that he has a family, and is content to be
business partners with him. However, after his family is murdered, Lexi
consoles him during his depression and they slowly form a relationship.
Gabriel begs her to let go of her obsession of taking back Kruger-Brent
as they have enough to be happy about, but although she promises to, she
does not give up. She destroys Kruger-Brent by buying off most of its
companies, secretly stealing from Gabriel's charity fund to fund her
plan. Eventually, Kruger-Brent goes bankrupt and Max commits suicide.
The Kruger-Brent board members agree to sell Kruger-Brent, and are
surprised when Lexi buys it and restores the company back to its power.
She learns that she is pregnant and is about to tell Gabriel the good
news, but he angrily breaks up with her after finding out about his
charity fund before she can reveal the good news. They eventually
reconcile when Gabriel finds out about her pregnancy and he realizes
that he loves her and stops her from aborting, and they marry after
their daughter Maxine is born.
Meanwhile, Eve is on her deathbed, hallucinating the ghosts of people
in her past. She sends a threatening note to Lexi admitting that she
knows what she did and has sent another note to the police. The police
take Lexi to the police station after her wedding, but Gabriel, Robbie,
and two of their loyal servants help her escape to her villa in
Maldives, where the police have no jurisdiction, and she is reunited
with Gabriel and Maxine. Lexi is hopeful for future knowing that, unlike
Eve, she can still play the game.
