Triplets: Matchmaking for Mommy

Lyra is arrested overnight and bailed out by her grandfather, who refuses to hear her side and orders her to leave for Tea Country by morning, forbidding her return without his permission. Her sister mocks her publicly, calling her unfit to be the Kensington heiress. Lyra pleads with her grandfather in vain while her sister wishes her dead.

Lyra sets up a street stall selling handmade sweaters, and the triplets eagerly help by calling out to passersby. Lolly notices a man in a car who looks exactly like her brothers and chases after him, calling him daddy. Lyra dismisses it, and Lolly returns disappointed after losing him.

While the triplets celebrate at the night market, Lolly suffers a sudden fever with convulsions. Lyra rushes her to the hospital, where the doctor warns she may need the ICU. Elsewhere, Grandpa Ashford awakens from a six-year coma and immediately orders Jack to marry the Kensington heiress.

Lyra waits at the hospital while Lolly is kept under observation for an allergic fever. Jack encounters her again as his grandfather is rushed into emergency treatment, leaving his coat behind. Lyra realizes the coat is worth over a hundred thousand dollars, while Jack's men begin gathering information on the Kensington heiress.

Lolly is cleared for discharge. Lyra arranges to return Jack's coat and brings Lolly to a restaurant, where she spots Nora. She learns from Jack's assistant that Nora is Jack's fiancée.

Lyra asks an assistant to return Jack's coat. While washing her hands at the restaurant, Lolly recognizes Jack, asks if he has children, and talks her way into getting his private number.

Nora agonizes over whether to admit to surgery before Jack questions her about her first time and any rings from a man. She denies everything, insisting she is still a virgin. Convinced she is not the woman from six years ago, Jack proposes a one-year fake marriage with a hundred-million-dollar payout and sets a date to propose at her home.

Lyra arrives with her daughter Lolly, and Nora mocks her outdated clothes and the struggle of raising three children. When Lolly stains Nora's dress, Nora insults the child, prompting Lyra to call Nora's mother a mistress and slap Nora across the face.

Nora complains to Jack, but Lolly apologizes to protect her mother and seizes the moment to introduce Lyra to him. Lyra recognizes Jack as Nora's fiancé and suspects he is colluding with Nora to use her child against her, so she claims the father is long dead.

Lyra returns home with yarn and promises to knit new clothes for the children. Henry gently tells her not to overwork herself. Lolly shows a photo of a man who resembles Henry and their older brother, wondering if he could be their father, and jokes that Lyra is too clever and needs a foolish man to balance things out.

Nora and her mother Quinn agree to tell Grandpa Ashford that Lyra has returned to Rivertown with three children, hoping to turn her into a laughingstock. Lyra meets Simon outside, learns her grandfather has waited six years to see her, and goes inside. The moment she enters, Nora exposes Lyra's secret, revealing she had one daughter and two sons.

Nora publicly calls Lyra's three children bastards. Lyra retorts that by Nora's own logic, Nora herself would be illegitimate. Grandpa Ashford intervenes, invites Lyra to sit beside him, and suggests she move back home. Nora and Quinn object fiercely, fearing Lyra's unmarried status will ruin the family's reputation and jeopardize Jack's proposal to Nora.

Nora and Quinn belittle Lyra's status as a servant's daughter. Jack formally proposes to Nora with a billion in betrothal gifts, and Grandpa Ashford gives his blessing. Lyra's father Kenji orders her to wash dishes in the kitchen, and she quietly withdraws.

Lyra accidentally spills food on Jack during dinner. Nora accuses her of jealousy, and Kenji threatens to fire her on the spot. Jack brushes it off and agrees to let Lyra make it up to him with a hand-knit sweater.

The landlord demands rent with a hike, and Lyra reassures the kids she will pay on time. The children notice a mysterious monthly deposit of one million on her card and wonder if it is linked to the man from six years ago. Meanwhile, Jack refuses a matchmaking attempt, reveals he is searching for a woman by a ring, and the dance queen Rabbit takes the stage.

Rabbit stuns the crowd with a pole dance, and a bidding war ends at half a million for a drink with her. She toasts the winner but refuses anything beyond drinks. The man tries to force her to stay, warning her not to act high and mighty.

Jack kicks away the man harassing Rabbit, who recognizes him as Nora's fiancé. He brings up her daughter and urges her to leave the nightclub. Lyra calls herself a failed mother, refuses his money, and walks away.

Lyra is burning up with a fever, but she insists Lolly and the other children go to school. After they leave, she reaches out to Jack. Sensing something is wrong, he orders his driver to Snowflake Lane and cancels his morning meeting.

Lyra is burning up with a high fever. Jack arrives and calls a friend for advice, then gives her fever medicine and wipes her down with alcohol to bring the temperature down.

Lyra is still feverish and unable to receive visitors. Her landlord arrives to collect overdue rent, mentioning a discount given because Lyra is raising children alone. Jack intercepts and asks how much is owed.

The landlord comes for the rent, and Jack pays a full year on the spot, overpaying by four thousand. He then tallies what Lyra owes him, adding lost meeting income and interest for a total of two hundred thousand. Lyra refuses to let her daughter work it off and offers herself instead.

Lyra has Jack try on a sweater she knitted for him. He asks if she has knitted for other men and demands she only knit for him from now on. Lyra refuses, and their argument is interrupted when the children return home.

The triplets return home and immediately notice Lyra's swollen lips. She blames a fever and ushers Jack out. Lolly invites Lyra to her birthday party, and Lyra decides to give away a ring the children believed was from their father.

Lyra brings the children to Lolly's birthday party, where Isla gives them gifts. Nora arrives uninvited with her fiancé and announces he is Jack Ashford, the eldest son of the Liu family, shocking the guests.

Guests shower Nora with congratulations for landing Jack Ashford, the eldest son of the Liu family, while Quinn boasts that her daughter deserves the best. Lyra hides nearby and vents to Isla, unable to stomach how Nora is being fawned over at home.

Lyra gives Isla a diamond ring, which Nora mocks as a cheap street-stall trinket. Isla identifies it as the Bourbon Parma Royal Diamond once owned by Marie Antoinette, sold at a Geneva auction for 1.7 billion dollars, leaving Nora stunned.

Nora insists the ring is fake and mocks Lyra for struggling to raise her children. Lyra demands Nora kneel and apologize if the ring proves real. Nora raises the stakes, vowing to slap herself if it is genuine, or have Lyra stripped in public otherwise. Jack suddenly appears and pulls Nora away.

Nora keeps mocking Lyra as vain and dishonest, insisting she deserves a lesson. A man introduced as Professor Quain, an internationally renowned jewelry appraiser, steps forward and tests the ring with fire. The diamond glows brighter under the flame, and he declares it a genuine, rare Bourbon Parma royal jewel.

The guests marvel at the ring's 1.7-million-dollar value, and Nora jealously demands to know if Lyra's children's father is a foreign prince. Lyra announces she has already given the ring to Isla, but Nora goes back on her word, refuses to kneel and slap herself, and accuses Lyra of stealing it.

Nora mocks Lyra as vain and a thief, and Kenji immediately believes Nora without asking Lyra. Lyra asks why her father never trusts her, then turns to leave. Isla tries to return the ring, saying it is too valuable, but Lyra insists she will not take it back.

As Lyra prepares to leave, a Maybach Aurora pulls up to pick her up. Nora and Quinn mock her for showing off and lying about ordering a ride. Lyra recognizes the car as belonging to Nora's fiancé Jack and rushes inside, desperate to keep the family from discovering the truth.

Lyra gets into the Maybach's front passenger seat and leaves. Isla suspects the owner is the same person who gave Lyra the diamond, imagining a handsome, wealthy boyfriend. Nora claims she saw a fat, bald old man inside, then dismisses the car as nothing compared to her fiancé Jack's wealth.

Jack brings Lyra to the Ashford house for chores. He notices a bruise and asks if someone from the Kensington family hit her, but she deflects. Jack insists she knit sweaters for his grandparents in front of him, offering ten thousand dollars per sweater, and Lyra agrees, hoping to pay off her debt quickly.

Lyra knits at the Ashford house while Jack works nearby. Complaining of a headache from a business trip and a long flight, Jack asks Lyra for a massage. After briefly considering charging him, she agrees to give him one for free.

Nora arrives, and Jack turns off the lights, making it clear she is unwelcome. Lyra worries about being misunderstood, but Jack hints that something is now going on between them. Lyra begs him to send Nora away, offering to knit more sweaters for free, and Jack demands that she knit only for him from now on.

Lyra arrives at the Ashford home as Jack's friend to deliver hand-knit sweaters. Grandma Ashford admires her craftsmanship, while Grandpa Ashford, unable to speak, recognizes her as his granddaughter-in-law.

Jack brings Lyra home to meet his grandparents. Grandpa Ashford recognizes her as his granddaughter-in-law and slaps his thigh in excitement. Grandma Ashford realizes he may have wet himself and rushes him inside. Lyra tries to leave after delivering the sweaters, but Jack asks her to stay for dinner.

Nora finds Lyra at the Ashford residence and mocks her for having three children while trying to seduce Jack, flaunting her own diamond ring. Lyra calmly declares she will now enjoy a long dinner and warns Nora that hitting her here would ruin Nora's standing with the grandparents. Meanwhile, Grandpa Ashford mistakes Nora for his granddaughter-in-law and urges Jack to marry and have children soon.

Jack tells his grandfather he will marry Nora but never have children with her, then leaves. Nora is sent away while Grandma insists Jack hire Lyra as his personal assistant for a hundred thousand a month. Jack reluctantly agrees and tells Lyra to join him on a business trip the next day to prove herself.

Lyra runs into her high school classmate Lucy Lee at the office. Lucy is in her probationary period and insists Lyra attend their class reunion on Saturday, saying no banquet begins without her. Jack arrives and says he feels hot rather than cold. Before leaving, Lucy hints that someone Lyra wants to see will be at the reunion.

Lyra explains the class reunion to her children, who warn her about deep pools and skimpy swimsuits. Grandpa Ashford calls to demand she cook for him to repay his eighty thousand dollars. Lyra asks for the day off, and he questions whether she ever attended school; she clarifies she went to high school.

Lyra arrives at K-Hotel for the class reunion, where Asher and Lucy Lee greet her warmly and tease Asher about his feelings for Lyra. Nora then shows up, flaunting a Chanel outfit and an Hermès bag from her boyfriend and claiming she does not know the exact prices.

Classmates press Nora about her generous boyfriend and learn he is Jack, head of River City’s first family and president of Ashford Group. Nora smugly offers future favors. Lyra, put off by the bragging, heads to her room while Asher offers to carry her bag. Nora then warns Asher that Lyra was kept by an older man and had three children, urging him not to be fooled by her innocent appearance.

Asher warns the group that anyone badmouthing Lyra will be made to leave. Nora denies doing so and announces her wedding to Jack next month. Lyra vents to classmates, calling Jack cold, stingy, and a control freak who nearly halved her salary.

Lyra is late to the pool, and Jack tends to the children, finding Lolly crying in fear. Nora ridicules Lyra's swimsuit as shabby, Lyra fires back, and Lucy Lee defends Lyra, prompting Nora to make a jealous comparison.

Nora mocks Asher for secretly loving Lyra and calls her a mother of three. Asher openly confesses to Lyra, saying he doesn't mind her children. When Nora's insults turn foul, Asher pushes her into the water, and she furiously dares Lyra to summon her fiancé Jack.

Nora mocks Lyra's claim to be Jack's fiancée and calls the father of her children a pot-bellied old man. Asher refuses to believe it and asks Lyra for the truth. Lyra reveals that Jack is the father of her triplets.

The children are crying for Lyra when Jack appears and calls only for her. Lyra leaves with him at once, leaving Nora and the onlookers stunned and questioning the trio's relationship. Nora insists she is Jack's real girlfriend and dismisses Lyra as a lowly secretary, telling everyone to wait and see who marries him next month.

Grandpa Ashford sends the children away and confronts Lyra alone. He accuses her of showing off in front of everyone while wearing a torn swimsuit, leaving her deeply embarrassed.

Nora shows up at the Ashford residence and demands to see Grandpa Ashford, but the butler turns her away, claiming he is busy. Hearing laughter inside, she suspects Lyra is there and questions Jack and Lyra's relationship in front of others, only to be mocked as the real mistress.

Nora slanders Lyra at the Ashford residence, claiming she was impregnated by an older man, and the onlookers join in the mockery. Elsewhere, Jack arranges a fireworks display for Lyra and the children, prompting Lyra to tease him about trying to win her over.

Someone close to Jack warns him that the old master's health could fail at any moment and that family is more dependable than romance. Jack then invites Lyra to dinner at the Ashford home and asks her to bring the children, hoping their presence will lift his grandfather's spirits. Lyra agrees and tells the children to put on their favorite clothes.

Lyra brings her three children to the Ashford home for dinner. The children marvel at the villa, comparing it to a castle, and Lolly charms Mrs. Ashford with a compliment about her perfume. Mrs. Ashford is startled to see how much Henry and Teddy resemble Jack as a boy.

Lyra and the children continue their visit at the Ashford home. Grandpa Ashford becomes so overwhelmed upon seeing Henry and Teddy that he cannot speak and is taken back to his room. Mrs. Ashford, troubled by the boys' resemblance to Jack, decides to question him directly.

Grandma Ashford calls Jack, casually mentioning she invited Lyra and the kids for dinner, and admits she prefers Lyra over Nora. Jack, surprised, says he will come home immediately. Meanwhile, Grandpa Ashford has an emotional outburst that no one can calm.

The children soothe Grandpa Ashford with candy and by straightening his collar, drawing a rare smile from him. Grandma explains he was upset because he was not allowed to go out, but the children's presence calms him. A servant then announces that Jack has returned.

Jack returns home and Lolly says the house is like a castle. He offers to let her live there, but Lolly insists she prefers her home with Lyra. Jack promises to work hard to become her daddy, then admits he has been so busy with work that his body is too weak and he needs to build up his strength first.

Jack calls Lyra upstairs and starts undressing, making her panic. He claims his back is itchy from a rash and asks her to apply medicine. Noticing an allergic reaction from a hot spring, Jack teases her not to crave his body, but Lyra insists she has no interest in men. Jack then presses her about her three children and ex-husband.

Lyra leaves with the kids while Jack takes a call about his wedding venue. Grandma Ashford stops him, points out that Henry and Teddy look exactly like Jack did as a child, and asks if they are his. She then confirms they are his children.

Jack dismisses Grandma's claim that the boys look like him, but she warns him not to shirk responsibility. Grandpa suddenly collapses and is in critical condition. Grandma begs Jack not to upset him further, revealing that what matters most to Grandpa is Jack marrying Nora next week.

The triplets scheme to help Mr. Ashford become their father. They decide to snip a strand of his hair for a paternity test and bring out a ring their mother keeps as a token of love. Henry and Teddy head to his company while Lolly stays behind to cover for them.

Henry and Teddy arrive at Grandpa Ashford's company and ask to schedule a meeting, but the receptionist turns them away. They decide to wait outside for him. Meanwhile, Grandpa Ashford is dissatisfied with an employee's work and orders it redone.

Grandpa Ashford is furious with an employee's week-long bidding proposal and fires him on the spot. The fired employee blames two disruptive kids downstairs for his poor work. Grandpa Ashford seems to recognize one of the kids.

The fired employee begs Grandpa Ashford for another chance after learning the two kids are his children. Teddy explains he glanced at the fallen documents and found the bid proposal terrible. Lolly and Teddy head downstairs, hoping a paternity test will confirm he is their father.

Henry learns that Jack is about to marry another woman. Disillusioned, he, Teddy, and Lolly decide they no longer need their father. Lolly blocks Jack's number and they leave together.

The children realize the ring is missing and decide to return to Ashford Group to look for it. When Lyra comes home, they tell her they don't like Jack and don't want him in their home. Jack then calls out from outside the door.

The children cry and say they never want to see Jack again because he is marrying another woman. Lyra tells Grandpa Ashford she is resigning and wishes him a happy marriage, refusing to hear any explanation. Lolly then confesses to her mother that she lost the diamond ring Jack gave her.

Lolly apologizes for nearly losing the ring, and Lyra puts it on. Elsewhere, Jack tells a friend he feels disgusted by Nora and cannot stand being near her, yet he is trapped by his grandfather's arrangement.

Nora tells her mother it feels unreal that she is marrying into the Ashford family. Stylists arrive to prepare the groom, but Grandpa Ashford is still asleep at 11 a.m. and no one dares wake him before the noon ceremony.

The Ashford household asks Lyra to wake Grandpa Ashford and calm him down, but she refuses, saying she has resigned and he can call her himself. Lolly asks if she is sad about his wedding; Lyra denies it and insists she will never be a mistress.

A servant tells Grandpa Ashford the wedding is half an hour away, but he is rushed to the hospital after falling critically ill. Nora boasts to friends that Jack is madly in love with her, while a makeup artist reveals the groom is still asleep.

Jack begs his unconscious grandfather to wake up, promising to marry Nora. Grandpa Ashford's heartbeat spikes dangerously, then he suddenly regains consciousness and demands to go to the wedding. A minister administers the vows right there at his bedside.

Lyra gives Jack a sweater she knitted, and it fits him perfectly. Grandpa Ashford suddenly realizes Jack has mistaken the bride, insisting everything is wrong. Jack admits he misunderstood his grandfather, and Nora demands to know where he is going, reminding him this is their wedding.

Guests blame Nora for Grandpa's worsening condition, and Jack admits he doesn't love her. Nora tries to stop him, but Jack leaves. Grandpa wakes and tells Jack to pursue his own happiness, and Jack thanks him before departing.

Jack flees his wedding and finds Lyra on the street, declaring his love and desire to marry her. Lyra admits the children's father is alive and realizes Jack is the man who gave her the ring six years ago. Jack confirms he has searched for her for six years and proposes again, to the children's cheers.
