Hardin Rowan Lee is the second-born son of Graham dan Adine, now the CFO of The Lee Holdings. His whole life is about being under Hiram's shadow as a younger brother. He knew his place in the family and tried to keep it that way. He never really asked for more until Graham made the two brothers compete against each other, thinking it would make them strive for the better. Since then, he has become wholly drowned in his work and achievement.He married the beautiful Seannika Zhou, A Chinese actress and social activist. She is loved by many for her notable work and movies. She won several prestigious awards and was acknowledged globally throughout her acting career. Hardin met Annika coincidently in Paris when the two attended a movie conference. He was representing The Lee Holdings as one of the investors, and she was the leading actress for the movie. The attraction sparked from there, and they decided to tie the knot years after. He thought it was all he ever asked, to have a beautiful and talented wife and, very soon later, a family of his own.Annika is living proof that sometimes the ideal of life doesn't always work. Soon after, she's become a mother of two. Keano and Valentine, she's doing her best to take care of them like how a mother should, moreover if the father is rarely at home for work. One time she asked Hardin if she was about to retire as an actress and will be focusing on taking care of their child. Hardin never really thought about that idea since he only minded his work, but Graham strongly opposed it. He told Annika to keep her career. Her media exposure helped The Lee to get the fame he wanted. And there is trial and error for that, Annika often made decisions without Hardin and Graham knowing this, and they started to have fights. In 2009, Graham forced Annika to file a divorce paper if she insisted on quitting her career. Graham thought Annika would no longer benefit the family if that happened, so he forced Hardin. After being constantly pressured and she received so much stress from inside her own household, she filed a divorce paper, and Hardin signed it under Graham's commands. She gathered every way and effort to win both of her child custody, but in the end, she lost this case, and almost no one won against Lee's legal team.A few months after they separated, Annika flew back to China and has never returned ever since. Meanwhile, Hardin later met Nadia, his college sweetheart. Back then, he thought he would marry her after graduation, but she told him that her parents had already settled things for her and she would marry another man. Hardin just knew that Nadia's late husband passed away a year ago, and just like that, he goes back all the way to the start. He thought that in this lifetime, he would marry her, and they did tie the knot in 2011.
