Leo's father and Joseph's father were intimate friends, and they graduated from the same school. It was a coincidence that later in the year, Joseph and Leo also studied at the universities of their fathers, which also laid a good relationship between the two of their families. Jenny's parents were brilliant diamond experts. They dealt with all types of diamond mines all over the world. Because of their technical skills, they had always been the most important partner for Joseph and Leo's families. Unfortunately, in an exploration operation of an exotic diamond mine, the local ruler was enraged because her parents didn't negotiate with the local government, and they were finally killed by the rulers.
Since Jenny became an orphan, she had been adopted by Leo and Joseph's family. Therefore, to some extent, Jenny actually was their sister.
Jenny was a positive and adorable girl who liked to draw jewelry designs, but she preferred to design jewelry in a comic style. Whenever a drawing was finished, the design was so lovely that Joseph and Leo often said that she could design jewelry for kids someday.
They were intimate as close friends as well as brother and sister. Leo was arrogant and unyielding, while Joseph was profound and stoic, and sometimes they argued with each other, but Jenny was the mediator between them and would act like a spoiled child to try to make peace with them.

Though he made a pet of Jenny, he was also strict with her when Jenny didn't like to clean up the room, and she couldn't take good care of herself well. For this reason, she was criticized by Joseph many times.
But Leo was an unruly man, so he adapted a happy and caring attitude towards Jenny. He didn't care about her self-care ability, and he would do anything for her to cheer her up.
These two men all doted on Jenny in different ways, and the reason was very simple. Leo had no sister, but he lived a lively life, so it was great for him to have a lovely sister, while Joseph only had a younger brother, so he longed for a sister.
They spent so many years together until that year when Joseph's family was confronted with a great crisis, and the economic crisis also affected Leo's family. Their fate completely changed that year.
Jenny fell in love that year.
It should have been a pleasing thing; at least, it was gratifying for Joseph and Leo. But when Joseph accidentally learned that the man Jenny loved was their golf coach, he was furious and forced her to break up with the man.
They all liked to play golf, and Leo's father even hired a coach to teach them. Among the three of them, Jenny was the best at playing golf and was the first person who had succeeded in playing the double eagle. The golf coach was highly skilled, which won their admiration. But Joseph found that he was not a one-woman man since he changed his girlfriend more often than he changed his clothes. He went out with all kinds of women, young or old.
Joseph obviously wouldn't let Jenny be in a relationship with such a man.
But Jenny loved the man and begged Leo to intercede for her. Though Leo had the same attitude as Joseph in this matter, he was defeated by her sweet look of suffering, and he began to persuade Joseph not to interfere with Jenny. He said that perhaps the man really loved her.
Hearing this, though Joseph still disapproved of Jenny, he could do nothing at all.

Jenny loved him very much, and soon she lived together with the man. Joseph was principled and unpleasant when he knew this. Leo also worried about her, but he hoped that she could live a desirable life for herself. Therefore Joseph and Leo argued with each other over this matter again.
Jenny was a stubborn girl, and the blindness of love took away her intellect. She thought the man would get married to her since she was pregnant. But unexpectedly, she saw that he had sex with another woman that day, and she was so irritated that she slapped that girl, and the man slapped her at once.
Jenny fell down to the ground, and her lower body began to bleed. The man was so frightened that he wanted to take Jenny to the hospital, but Jenny knew clearly that her baby was gone. She was so furious that she lost her mind at that moment and stabbed a knife into his heart.
When the ambulance arrived, she was in a coma, and the coach died on the spot. The police began to investigate.
At that time, Joseph and Leo's family lost all of their previous statuses and couldn't do anything for Jenny. Joseph and Leo racked themselves for the best way to save Jenny, and they wanted to prevent her from being imprisoned. But at that time, Leo and Joseph had also just taken over their work, and they didn't have a wide range of contacts. Leo intended to help Jenny slip into another country, while Joseph didn't agree with him since he thought once Jenny fled, she could only live a life of exile.
They argued fiercely with each other again.
But Joseph didn't make a concession this time, and he found a psychologist at a heavy price and issued a legal report of mental disorders for Jenny. The murder was not a minor sin, no matter how bitterly remorseful she was, the man was dead. And what's more, she was motivated by intentional killing. In this way, Jenny was sent to the asylum by Joseph to avoid going to jail. He hoped she could hide out there, giving him some time to figure out a perfect solution to save her.
The media was intensely focused on this matter.
