When Uma got engaged to Andrew, Silvestre Urbano realised he had to hunt further for his fortunes. Uma's younger cousin Saffron may not be as glamorous as Uma, but she has the wealth and status that Silvestre finds so irresistbly attractive.

Uma's engagement also woke Wilson Garey up to the fact that he never had a real chance with her, she had just been stringing him along. Saffron Founder is nothing like her beautiful but deceptive cousin, and Wilson finds himself not just flirting with her, but really relating to her in a way he hadn't thought possible.

Uma was used to having Andrew, Silvestre and Wilson follow her around all over campus, ready to do anything she asked. Once she accepted Andrew's ring, she lost the rest of her devoted following, and they didn't reappear when Andre broke up with her.

"You've humiliated not just yourself, but your whole family," her father accuses her harshly.

"It's not my fault! Peridot tricked me," Uma protests, "Please, Daddy, I want Andrew back. Get him to come back to me and I promise it won't happen again."
