Catherine received the obituary notice for her beloved brother. Her brother, under the command of the Duke of Wellington, fought against Napoleon's army at Waterloo and died heroically. It was her brother's boss at the time, Adam Calthorpe, who brought the sad news. On the eve of the sacrifice, her brother once said to Adam: "If anything happens to me, can I ask you to take care of my sister?" The death of her gentle and cheerful brother made Catherine devastated. Not long after, her uncle appeared as guardian, sparking a dispute over inheritance. Desperate, Catherine can only rely on Adam.
