Ex-Wife 2.0: Richer, Colder, Untouchable
Riley Lester, the stunning CEO of Lester Corp in the city of Horrun, has always cherished her husband, Derek Harmon, above all else. She gifts him a Porsche, the luxurious Skyle Villa, and even a Centurion Black Card with a hundred-million-dollar credit limit—while also covering the living expenses of his parents and sister.
Story Recap
Episode 1
Riley Lester wakes up on the worst day of her life — again. In her past life, her husband Derek Harmon and his mistress Emily Potter drained her company and assets and left her to die. Now she's back at the airport on the very day Derek returns from overseas with Emily and her son Tim. When Derek orders her to help with the suitcases, Riley refuses. "The sights of them disgust me," she says, and tells the driver to go. Derek is furious, but Riley is already planning something far bigger than a cold shoulder.
Episode 2
Derek demands Riley apologize to Emily and buy her a luxury car to smooth things over. Tim sneers at Riley's electric car, calling it junk full of radiation, and Emily plays the gracious victim. Derek piles on, insisting Emily is a PhD backed by Apollo VC and deserves better. Riley agrees to order the Porsche — but not out of guilt. "I'll let them experience the miserable death I had in my past life," she thinks. Then she calls her assistant, Mr. Wade, with two orders: sell Tiara One, and prepare a divorce agreement that leaves Derek with nothing.
Episode 3
At the Porsche dealership, Emily turns up her nose at anything under three million, while Derek grandstands and demands the most expensive car in the showroom. The salesperson leads them to a limited-edition model — only 918 units worldwide, priced at $5 million. Derek doesn't blink. He tells Emily that spending Riley's money is doing her a favor, and that it's a privilege for Riley to foot the bill. Emily pretends to hesitate, then accepts. Riley watches it all with a smile, letting them dig the hole deeper.
Episode 4
Tim wrecks six cars in the showroom — a million dollars in damage — and Emily shrugs it off as free-spirited overseas behavior. She and Derek blame the cars for being flimsy. When the staff demand payment, Derek decides to buy all six damaged cars so Emily can drive a new one each day. He also promises her the $5 million Porsche. Riley keeps saying only, "As long as you like it." Derek mistakes her calm for submission and even offers her a "chance to redeem herself." Riley lets him believe it. The trap is set.
Episode 5
The dealership is stunned. Six damaged cars plus the supercar is no small sum, and Derek acts like it's pocket change. A salesperson whispers that marrying him must be like hitting the jackpot — until someone points out Riley is the one with the money. Derek tells Riley he's buying the cars for Emily and asks if she has a problem. "No. As long as you like it," she replies. Tim offers to let her wash his mother's feet as a reward. Onlookers sneer that Riley, the nouveau riche, was never a match for Derek.
Episode 6
The final invoice arrives: seven cars, $17 million total. The salesperson warns Derek one last time that once it's issued, there's no backing out. Derek signs without hesitation, bragging that only people who've never seen real money would flinch. Emily promises to buy him a ten-million-dollar car once her venture capital comes through — with Riley paying, of course. Then Derek turns to Riley and orders her to make the payment. Riley's answer lands like a slap: "Make payment? Why should I?" The bill is his.
