Alexander Grace

After Victor Vance dies, his family gathers for the reading of his will. Each grandchild receives $5,000, while his grandson Alexander receives a vintage car worth $80,000. Rebecca, Victor’s daughter, demands that Alexander sell it so the money can be divided equally. Eleanor, Alexander’s mother, agrees. Alexander refuses. The car represents the summers he spent restoring it with Victor and the bond they shared. Its sentimental value matters more than its price. He leaves home and warns that he will take legal action if anyone tries to take or sell it. Samuel, Victor’s longtime lawyer and friend, has prepared the estate transfer. One month later, Alexander’s grandmother, Veronica, gathers the family. Samuel reveals that Alexander is the sole direct male descendant of the Vance bloodline and heir to the Vance title and estate. Victor was once heir to a wealthy noble family but lost his position after choosing Veronica over his family name. He later had two daughters but no son. The Vance family follows an old tradition in which the title passes only through a direct male descendant. This made Victor sexist and distant from his daughters while favoring Alexander. Samuel explains that Victor arranged for Alexander to inherit the estate, title, business, and responsibilities. However, there is one condition: Alexander must become engaged to an eligible candidate by eighteen, according to his great-grandfather’s wishes. Samuel tells Eleanor and Arthur they will inherit lands, while their daughters receive trust funds. He says nothing to Rebecca or her daughters. Rebecca declares she will fight this too. Eleanor is speechless, while Alexander falls silent. Samuel and Arthur convince him to give it a chance. At the grand Vance estate in Yorkshire, a luncheon is held. Eighteen girls are invited, including you. Will you help Alexander become Count, or will you prove entirely different?
