01:41Daniel, I'm coming back.

01:49Really?

01:49Hell yes.

01:50You know what?

01:51Cases have been lining up for you.

01:53Who would have thought I was the courtroom queen who crushed opponents in court, the

01:58invincible Vivian.

01:59Does Patrick even know who you really are?

02:01He...

02:01Of course not.

02:02I've decided to divorce him.

02:04Next time we meet, it'll only be in court.

02:11I'm drunk.

02:33Come pick me up.

02:41Patrick, it's been three years and you still don't feel anything for Vivian?

02:47Come on, he likes the independent, strong-willed one.

02:50Like Bella Cooper.

02:51Even after all these years, he still can't forget her.

02:55But tell me, Patrick, why did you choose to marry Vivian then?

02:59Why?

03:00It's all because...

03:03You nasty bitch!

03:05You helped that woman win the case and cost me half my fortune!

03:11Mr. Iverson, are you okay, sir?

03:29Here.

03:30Are you okay?

03:31Okay?

03:36Why leave me?

03:38You've got the wrong person.

03:41I'll take responsibility.

04:10Let's get married.

04:14What?

04:14Whatever you're doing now, just quit.

04:16Come work for me as my assistant.

04:18Take care of my daily needs.

04:20I'll pay you.

04:2250,000 per month.

04:32She won't leave me.

04:34No matter what I do to her.

04:37She won't mind.

04:38Let's go!

04:54Let's go!

05:00Hi, guys.

05:01What are you doing?

05:16Somebody help me.

05:19Somebody help me, please.

05:25Please.

05:27Patrick!

05:29What's wrong with you?

05:30What?

05:31You love her that much?

05:55You love her that much?

05:55Don't leave me.

06:09Don't leave me.

06:12Since you love her so much, find this then.

06:51Patrick, congratulations to both of us.

06:57Just one more month of cooling off period, then the divorce is final.

07:01We'll both be free.

07:18Bella Cooper.

07:21Doc, I'm not interested in any woman except her.

07:27Mr. Iverson, this is psychological.

07:30Treatment wouldn't be difficult, actually.

07:32Is that so?

07:33If it is, then I hope I never recover.

07:38Since I couldn't marry Bella, anyone else would do.

07:43Patrick's obsessive first love.

07:45Oh, you must be Patrick's wife.

07:51I'm Bella Cooper, his old friend.

07:53Is he home right now?

07:55He is.

07:56Please come in.

07:56Bella, what brings you here?

08:10Here, have a seat.

08:15Patrick, no lawyer will take my divorce case.

08:20Can you help me?

08:20I know this puts you in a tough spot, but I'm...

08:23No trouble at all.

08:25Not in the slightest.

08:33Hey, transfer all my current cases.

08:36From now on, I'm focusing entirely on Bella's case.

08:39Patrick, this case is notorious as unwinnable.

08:41Plus, your expertise is in criminal law.

08:44Why risk your perfect win record for a civil case?

08:47Dude, think about it.

08:48It's not worth it.

08:49It's okay.

08:50Just forget it.

08:51I'll go find another.

08:52No need.

08:53I'm taking this case.

08:55Just focus on your tool.

08:56Don't worry.

08:58If that's the case, maybe consult your old rival, Vivian.

09:01She's handled hundreds of divorces and never lost a single one.

09:04Maybe she could give you solid advice.

09:06Someone as proud as Patrick would never ask his arch-rival for help, even if it's for Bella.

09:13Send me her number.

09:36Well, maybe she's too busy to answer the phone.

09:52Hmm.

09:53I'll try again later.

09:58Uh, where's the tissue?

09:59I'll get it.

10:00No need.

10:01Vivian, get a fresh box.

10:06So, you never saved my number.

10:16No wonder you didn't even realize the one you're calling is right beside you.

10:20And it's...

10:21me.

10:23It's fine.

10:25I'll get someone to find her new contact.

10:28No.

10:28If that call goes through, my identity as Vivian will be exposed.

10:33Miss Cooper, Goldshore divorce cases.

10:36Require plaintiffs to provide evidence.

10:39How do you know this?

10:42I graduated from Goldbridge Law.

10:44Five years ago, I saw a divorce case file very similar to yours.

10:48And that lawyer applied international legal provisions.

10:55The way she is now is so different from the dutiful wife I ever knew.

10:59What exactly did she do before quitting?

11:01She did.

11:02She did.

11:03She did.

11:04She did.

11:05Patrick.

11:06Patrick.

11:07Anything wrong?

11:08Nothing.

11:09So, do you think it would work?

11:12Hm.

11:13Yes.

11:14Bella, you should stay at our place.

11:16Vivian, go prepare the guest room.

11:18What's wrong?

11:19Don't cry.

11:20I'm just so touched.

11:21It's been so long since anyone treated me this well.

11:22Silly girl.

11:23I promise.

11:24I'll take care of you forever.

11:25But would it be okay if I stay here?

11:26Of course.

11:27Actually, Vivian and I, we've always slept separately.

11:28Then, thank you, Mrs. Iverson.

11:29Bella, just call her Vivian.

11:30Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:31Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:32Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:33Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:34Well then, Vivian.

11:35Let's go.

11:36I'll take care of you.

11:37I'll take care of you.

11:38I'll take care of you.

11:39I'll take care of you.

11:40I'll take care of you.

11:41But would it be okay if I stay here?

11:42Of course.

11:43Actually, Vivian and I, we've always slept separately.

11:44Then, thank you, Mrs. Iverson.

11:45Bella, just call her Vivian.

11:47Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:48Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:49Not Mrs. Iverson.

11:50Well then, Vivian.

12:01Let's go.

12:02Ms. Cooper, here's your room.

12:13Vivian, is this really my room?

12:15What do you mean?

12:16Literally.

12:17I really don't get why you insist on keeping the master bedroom.

12:23Patrick doesn't sleep with you or love you.

12:26But he loves you, right?

12:28Though I wonder, why did you marry someone else back then?

12:31Obviously, because my husband's richer.

12:36And now my divorce will get me a fortune.

12:38So I want my Patrick to be back.

12:41You divorce, you get a fat check.

12:43And mine will get me at least 70% of Patrick's assets.

12:47So for your earlier question, I'm not keeping the master bedroom.

12:51It's always mine.

12:5470% for you?

12:56That's a crap deal.

12:58I'm doing nothing.

13:00I'm doing nothing.

13:01That's a crap deal.

13:02I'm doing nothing.

13:03No.

13:04It's not even my wedding.

13:05You, you.

13:06I'm doing nothing.

13:07Patrick.

13:08We'll keep you.

13:09I'm doing nothing.

13:10Patrick, give me back my documents.

13:23I'll go back to Steven.

13:25I'll just let him beat me to death.

13:28Bella?

13:29What's wrong?

13:30What happened?

13:30Just drop it.

13:32Vivian, did you hurt her?

13:34Patrick Iverson, you know my personality, don't you?

13:37Are you saying Bella's lying?

13:40That's it.

13:41Even her tears are from eyedrops.

13:43What?

14:03It's real.

14:07Of course they are!

14:09Enough!

14:09She just suffered domestic abuse.

14:11She's been through hell.

14:13Do you even have any sympathy?

14:17Patrick, don't fight for me.

14:19I'm scared.

14:23It's okay.

14:24I'm here.

14:24I told you I didn't do anything.

14:41Fine.

14:42Let's just say I misjudged you.

14:43Patrick, what is this?

14:53She told me before, no matter what I do, just give her one bead and she'll forgive me.

15:01Really?

15:01Let me see.

15:02Come on.

15:05One, two, three, four.

15:07Wow, eight beads left.

15:10Come on, I'll take you to rest.

15:13Patrick Iverson, you'll regret this.

15:27Bella's staying with us.

15:41I hope you can be nice.

15:43What, want me to move out?

15:45Don't be ridiculous.

15:46If you leave, Bella might think it's because of her.

15:49Bella, she's so kind and fragile.

15:54She won't be able to take it.

15:57Kind and fragile?

16:07You like that, Vivian?

16:08She's my idol.

16:20Idol?

16:23Viv, I know what you're afraid of.

16:25Don't worry, you'll always be my wife.

16:28So you don't have to imitate the other Vivian just to please me.

16:32I've never met this mysterious rival.

16:34But she's brilliant.

16:36You've got the same name as her.

16:38Nothing else.

16:39What if I am that Vivian?

16:45What did you say?

16:47You're that Vivian?

16:48Ha!

16:49Come on.

16:50Don't kid yourself.

16:52Someone as dazzling and brilliant as Vivian

16:54could never be you.

16:58You've always been sensible.

17:00That's what I liked about you in the first place.

17:03So just keep being that good girl.

17:06Can't handle the truth?

17:07Well.

17:15Sort it out yourself.

17:18Must you help Bella with her divorce?

17:23Absolutely.

17:24No question.

17:25Hello, Mr. Iverson.

17:35I'm Vivian.

17:36I heard you needed consultation about divorce proceedings.

17:40I've compiled some useful materials and sent them to your email.

17:44Bella, great news.

17:46I'll be right back.

17:47I'll be right back.

17:48I'll be right back.

17:49I'll be right back.

17:50Bella, great news.

17:51Vivian agreed to help us.

17:53With her help, we're gonna make it.

17:54Oh, don't for me.

17:57Bella's divorce case is progressing well.

18:04She's treating us to dinner tonight.

18:07And she insisted you to come.

18:09So don't cause trouble.

18:12Why would I-

18:12I'm just humoring you until the divorce is finalized and I take half your fortune, then

18:17I don't give a damn of what you two are gonna do.

18:19Wow, she's amazing.

18:27Mom, do you tell me about this pretty lady?

18:30She said her name's Bella Cooper.

18:32Let me search.

18:34Online information isn't accurate.

18:37Actually, she comes from a musical dynasty and started piano at two.

18:42She swept every competition and even skipped grades on talent.

18:46She's a unique talent in Franklin University.

18:49And she's already been taken as an apprentice by the famous pianist in Europe.

18:54That's all.

18:55How do you know so much about this lady?

18:57Do you like her?

19:03How do you know so much about her?

19:05Do you like her?

19:10Louie, don't be silly.

19:11He's married.

19:14So what?

19:15Patrick never lies.

19:16So his silence is some kind of answer.

19:19What's going on?

19:23You seem happy.

19:25Nothing.

19:26Just small talk.

19:27Bella, your piano skills have improved.

19:29Thanks, Patrick.

19:30I haven't been here for a while.

19:33Let's go for a walk.

19:36I'll wait in the private room.

19:42Let's go.

19:42Hello, ma'am.

19:48You must be Mr. Iverson and Ms. Cooper's friend, right?

19:53After Ms. Cooper left, Mr. Iverson would come and order all her favorite dishes.

19:58He'd sit alone until closing time.

20:00Now that they're reunited, they must be getting married soon.

20:05Oh, yeah.

20:05Yeah.

20:15Patrick, it's Vivian's first time here.

20:22Let her try it first.

20:23Oh.

20:25Hmm.

20:26This is the first time he's shown me such kind of care because of Bella.

20:30I'm allergic to seafood.

20:31I can't eat shrimp.

20:33You're allergic?

20:34Then why do you always cook fish and shrimp for me?

20:38Because you like it.

20:39But what I like never matters to you.

20:45Watch out!

21:13Then...

21:14Bella, how's your hand?

21:21I just burned my fingertips on the hot soup.

21:23It hurts.

21:25Go to the hospital yourself.

21:26Bella's hands are for piano.

21:27They can't afford any damage.

21:44They can't afford any damage.

21:45They can't afford any damage.

21:46They can't afford any damage.

21:47They can't afford any damage.

21:48They can't afford any damage.

21:49They can't afford any damage.

21:50They can't afford any damage.

21:51They can't afford any damage.

21:52They can't afford any damage.

21:53They can afford any damage.

21:54They can afford any damage.

21:55They can afford any damage.

21:56They can afford any damage.

21:57They can afford any damage.

21:58They can afford any damage.

21:59They can afford any damage.

22:00They can afford any damage.

22:01They can afford any damage.

22:02They can afford any damage.

22:03They can afford any damage.

22:04They can afford any damage.

22:05They can afford any damage.

22:06They can afford any damage.

22:07They can afford any damage.

22:08Did you hear that?

22:19There's a pianist staying in the VIP ward.

22:22Just a tiny burn on her fingertip, but her boyfriend is absolutely heartbroken.

22:27He accompanies her to every checkup, feeds her meals, holds her water.

22:33And during my night shifts, I've seen him kissing her hand by her bedside.

22:38His eyes are just so full of love.

22:41What a perfect man.

22:42I heard he's some hotshot lawyer too.

22:45Gorgeous man with that gentle, beautiful pianist.

22:48What a perfect match.

22:52Unlike Vivian Ross, poor thing, not a single person visited after that terrible burn.

23:03Patrick hasn't even sent a message.

23:09Anyway, I'm leaving soon.

23:10I'm over him.

23:11However much Patrick loves her means nothing to me anymore.

23:18Hello?

23:20Is this Ms. Vivian Ross?

23:22Yes, speaking.

23:24Your divorce waiting period is about to expire.

23:26Would you like to withdraw it?

23:28No.

23:29I'll proceed.

23:30I want the divorce.

23:31Then you may collect the certificate in three days.

23:38Perfect.

23:40Just three more days.

23:42And I'll be free.

23:44Free?

23:46What do you mean?

23:48Nothing.

23:49The doc said I'll be discharged in three days.

23:54I'm off work today, but let me take you out for a walk.

23:57In three years of marriage, he never once wanted to go on a date with me.

24:01Is this some kind of guilt for abandoning me that day?

24:04Some kind of compensation?

24:06Could someone like him even feel guilty?

24:11No.

24:13Let's go.

24:14Oh.

24:24This one.

24:25This one.

24:26And this one.

24:27Bring them all out.

24:28Yes, sir.

24:29You've got excellent taste, sir.

24:34This ocean's heart piece is our store's crown jewel.

24:37One single diamond here out values hundreds of ordinary ones.

24:41It will look stunning on this lady.

24:43Viv.

24:44Try it on.

24:45You're so lucky, madam, to have such a doting husband choosing jewelry for you.

24:50I don't care for jewelry.

25:04Don't waste money.

25:07Just this one, then.

25:10I know you don't, but today's Bella's birthday.

25:15And this is the gift I prepared for her.

25:17I just need someone.

25:20To model it.

25:22Down.

25:24So, you dragged me out here today.

25:28Not out of guilt, but to pick Bella's perfect birthday gift.

25:33I'm just a tool to you, right?

25:36I realized that all of mine is not here.

25:45Enough?

25:46Or how about two?

25:48That I can't deny.

25:49Patrick.

25:51Just give me back.

25:53All the remaining beads.

25:55In my time, fearing for the truth.

26:01All right.

26:03These prayer beads are just trinkets.

26:11I never cared about them.

26:12But after having them so long, why does it hurt so much to let go?

26:17What?

26:19Can't bear to part with them?

26:24Viv.

26:25You've been acting strange lately.

26:27Is there something you're hiding from me?

26:31Nope.

26:32Isn't today Bella's birthday?

26:35You should go.

26:36I'll go home now.

26:39Come with me.

26:41I'll just drop by.

26:51Bella.

26:52Happy birthday.

26:53Wow, open it.

26:54What is it?

26:55This must cost a fortune.

27:07You just gave it away without batting an eye.

27:09Mr. Iverson, you're spoiling her rotten.

27:11No wonder you topped Franklin University's couple popularity chart.

27:15Remember when Bella sprained her ankle and our school hunk Patrick carried her to class

27:19every day?

27:20They were just perfect for each other.

27:22Honestly, guys, they were the golden couple everyone envied.

27:25Wow.

27:26And that time when knitting scarves was the campus trend.

27:29And we all got ours.

27:31After just a few subtle hints, Patrick spent a whole week learning to knit just to make Bella

27:36a scarf.

27:37Geez.

27:38All right, all right.

27:39That's all in the past.

27:41Patrick brought his wife today.

27:43Don't make things awkward.

27:51Patrick, what does your wife do?

27:53To catch someone as accomplished as you, she must be extraordinary.

27:57Who is this legendary woman then?

28:07She doesn't work.

28:08Just a housewife.

28:09But Patrick's ex, Bella, graduated from top schools and internationally

28:13renowned theonist.

28:15And you're at the top of your field too.

28:17How did your standards drop so low when choosing a partner?

28:21Housewife sounds nice.

28:22But really, she's just a lazy gold digger living off her husband with no achievements.

28:27I used to earn millions per case.

28:33Clients waited in line.

28:35I gave it all up for the damn marriage only to become a so-called gold digger.

28:39And even Patrick looks down on me.

28:41Everyone's here now.

28:43Bella, didn't you want to play games?

28:45Oh, right.

28:46Come on, let's play.

28:47Hmm.

29:01I lost.

29:02First penalty, show your photos and memos.

29:04Wow.

29:05It's all Bella's photos.

29:10How about we skip the photos and check the memos?

29:18Yes, the memos.

29:19OMG, all these notes are about Bella.

29:22Bella likes half-sweet orchid lattes.

29:26Her favorite cafe, Meridian Cat Cafe, on Wednesday afternoons.

29:30Her birthday, May 2nd.

29:32She hates when people touch her bookmarks.

29:35Bella, I love you.

29:37Don't leave me.

29:38One year since our breakup, I'm at the cherry tree where we first met.

29:42Wow, so sweet.

29:43Patrick.

29:44Oh, Vivian, don't take it to heart.

29:49It's all in the past.

29:51I don't mind at all.

29:58I'm going to hit the restroom.

30:08She really doesn't seem to care.

30:16Just ignore her.

30:17Let's keep playing.

30:21Lost again.

30:23This time, Patrick has to call his one true love and confess his feelings.

30:28Who could Patrick's true love be?

30:30Who could it be?

30:31I don't know.

30:33I don't know.

30:34Hang on.

30:34You couldn't do it.

30:36Hang on.

30:37Once I knew him, who could it be?

30:42Wow.

30:43Ahhhh.

30:44Back then I had nothing but with my true love by my side.

30:50I felt like I owned the world, but now I have everything, but only lost that love.

30:55I'm surrounded by emptiness.

30:56I have nothing.

31:14I don't want the house or cars.

31:16Liquidate everything and donate to charity for good.

31:20I've got the divorce papers, and my flight's at 3 p.m. today.

31:23Hey, Patrick, try to stop you.

31:26He hasn't been home for days.

31:29Probably busy with Bella's divorce case.

31:31I don't know.

31:43Patrick, here's the divorce certificate.

31:44And this USB drive contains evidence of Bella's provocations.

31:50I'm handing you back to your beloved Bella.

32:10Go ahead.

32:11Enjoy your love.

32:13Let's see.

32:13In one month, three months, one year, three years, if you two can still stay madly in love.

32:20Where are you going?

32:30Where are you going?

32:32Meeting a friend.

32:33A friend?

32:34But your burns?

32:35It's nothing.

32:36All right, then.

32:44You've been cooped up too long, only revolving around me.

32:47Go see the world.

32:48Broaden your horizons.

32:50I'm leaving.

32:51At least say goodbye to him.

32:52Got a minute.

32:56I need a talk with you.

32:57If it's urgent, call me tonight after work.

32:59Bella's case is about to start.

33:01On Goldshaw time.

33:03Quite busy now.

33:04Then forget it.

33:05No need to talk.

33:05Just return the beads you owe me.

33:07What?

33:07Making on that tricky case for Bella.

33:09Jewelry shopping for her gift.

33:11And her birthday party.

33:12Plus, you ghosted for days.

33:14Why are you being so petty again?

33:15No.

33:22Enough now.

33:23I've got no time for your stupid drama.

33:31Have fun.

33:32And come back soon.

33:52No.

33:53This time I'm not coming back.

33:54I'm not coming back.

34:24Finally found it.

34:54Patrick Iverson.

35:09Goodbye.

35:10Next time we meet, I won't be your wife, but your sworn enemy, Vivian.

35:18I'm leaving.

35:21Bella, good news.

35:28We won your divorce case.

35:31Patrick, this is wonderful.

35:33I wouldn't have known what to do without you here.

35:37In true world, I thought...

35:41Patrick, I...

35:42I'm just so excited.

35:43Don't get it wrong.

35:45It's fine.

35:47You've worked so hard on this case.

35:49Let me treat you to dinner.

35:51How about that eel rice place we used to go to?

35:53I...

35:53Maybe not.

35:54I need to talk to Vivian tonight.

35:56Huh?

35:57Is it urgent?

35:58What's wrong with me?

35:59I should never refuse when Bella asks me out.

36:02Yet all day, all I could think about is actually Vivian.

36:06Patrick, I wanted to go celebrate with you.

36:09I just got divorced.

36:11Hmm?

36:13All right.

36:14Let's celebrate then.

36:15Hmm.

36:15Let's go.

36:18Patrick?

36:19Patrick?

36:21What's wrong with you?

36:22I called you several times, but you didn't respond.

36:26Nothing.

36:28You seem in a bad mood.

36:29Do I?

36:31Of course you do.

36:33When you frown, right here gets a little crease.

36:35Hmm.

36:39Honey, you seem upset.

37:00Hmm?

37:02How did you know?

37:03Because when you frown right here, it gets a little crease.

37:31Ouch!

37:33Patrick, are you okay?

37:45I'm fine.

37:47Did you have a fight with Vivian today?

37:50Of course not.

37:51Vivian's got a great temper.

37:53We never fight.

37:53And there's always the prayer beads.

37:56Where are my beads?

37:58There should still be one left.

38:00It's just a string of beads.

38:02Patrick, I'll buy you new ones.

38:04Out with the old.

38:06In with the new.

38:07Out with the old.

38:09In with the new.

38:12Patrick, on my birthday, you told me you have everything, but still feel empty.

38:19Well, me too.

38:21Oh, my God.

38:44Oh, my God.

38:44When I get home I'll have Vivian return all those beats to me. Strange how lost I feel without them.

39:14I've tried my best to make you see there's hope beyond the pain. If we give enough. If we learn to trust. But only love can say. That's something only love can do.

39:41Why? Patrick, I want to be brave for love. Would you love me again?

40:01Barbara. What? What did you say?

40:11Patrick, back then no matter where I was, I always felt this emptiness inside. But after returning and meeting you again, I realized it was because you weren't with me.
