My Resignation, Your Depression

Lucille Holt is engaged to the son of the chairman of Graham Group. To help him, and to prove she can make it on her own, she hides that she is the only daughter of the richest man in the city and takes a job in the company's sales department. She becomes its top seller and brings in half of its business. The chairman falls seriously ill. He knows the company runs on her figures and on her family's backing, and he tells his son several times to treat her well when the son comes home from studying abroad to take over. The son comes back arrogant and already involved with a woman on the staff. She resents Lucille's numbers and uses his authority to push her down. Lucille refuses to give way and answers back. He sides with the other woman, dismisses what Lucille has brought in, and announces in front of everyone that she is fired. Word of the insult reaches her father. He arrives at Graham Group with bodyguards, ends every contract with the family, calls off the engagement, and pulls the support that had been quietly propping the company up. With Lucille's identity out in the open, a fight over the succession starts inside Graham Group, the son loses ground, and another member of the family comes forward as heir. Lucille begins digging into the corruption inside the company and who has been behind it, and her family starts short-selling Graham Group's stock.
