My Sudden Marriage to a Rich Heiress - Episode 1

After Trishula CEO Lianne Devaney's public offer of $500,000 to be impregnated, Francis Locke learns his mother's kidney failure will cost that exact sum. Desperate, he answers the ad; the intermediary demands a $3,000 guarantee he can't pay, so Francis negotiates an in-person meeting and is promised payment afterward. At the same time, Lianne is told her grandmother set up a blind date at Southriver Avenue coffee shop and threatens to disown her if she doesn't attend. The episode ends with both forced to converge at noon, table six—an unresolved, high-stakes first encounter.
