Transcript

00:00Whenever this man buys a new painting, he eats and sleeps with the painting for a week to build

00:04a bond. Then he reluctantly locks it away in his private vault. Jason is an auctioneer with

00:08extreme obsession for cleanliness. He can easily manipulate the price of any auction item. A

00:13painting worth $8 million, with the flawless cooperation of his partner, they can win it

00:18for only $200,000. The moment the auction ends the painting appears in Jason's vault.

00:23In his spare time Jason also evaluates antiques for clients. He only needs to smell a piece of

00:27burnt wood to tell if it is a true masterpiece. Once he takes it home and cleans it a little,

00:32it can sell at auction for tens of millions. One day Jason had just finished an auction.

00:36A strange call came into his office. The caller said she had a house full of antiques to be appraised.

00:41But as a top auctioneer, Jason's schedule was already fully booked. He casually said he would

00:45send someone else, but the client insisted. Her father had told her before he died,

00:50that Jason himself must handle the antiques. With no choice Jason gave up his rest and went

00:54to the villa. But half an hour past the agreed time, the owner still did not show up at the door.

00:59To make it worse rain began to fall, as a top auctioneer Jason, had never suffered such neglect

01:03and humiliation. He forced himself to calm down and started checking the items. But minutes later

01:08the client called again. Jason was about to tell his secretary to hang up, but the secretary said

01:13the caller sounded like she was crying, and she had been in a car accident on the way. After hearing

01:17her accident and her plea, Jason decided to give her another chance. This time as soon as he arrived

01:22at the villa door, a limping butler came to greet him. When Jason heard the client herself would not

01:27appear, he turned without hesitation ready to leave. The butler quickly stopped Jason and told

01:32him the master once said, everything here could be priced by Jason. Hearing this Jason's anger

01:37vanished instantly. He checked several rooms in a row, but found nothing of value. Just as he was

01:42disappointed and ready to leave, he suddenly found a dust-covered gear on the floor. Jason slipped it

01:47into his pocket when the butler was not looking. His years of experience told him this gear was

01:51unusual. After leaving the villa he rushed to a repair shop. After the staff cleaned it

01:55carefully, they really made a discovery. Inside the gear was the signature of a master mechanic

02:00from last century, and Jason's college thesis had studied his works. He never expected to find a

02:05piece in an abandoned villa. Jason could not believe it. If he could gather the other parts

02:09its value would surpass all his collections. Full of hope he returned to the villa. But even after

02:14the sales list was finished, the mysterious client still did not appear. Jason pressed for answers

02:19on the phone, but he heard the echo of a mover dropping a ladder. Jason instantly realized the

02:24client was inside the villa. He followed the sound to a wall. Curious he pressed his eye to a hole in

02:29the wall, and found someone on the other side watching him. To figure out the client's situation,

02:34Jason invited the butler to a restaurant. After using his charm, the butler finally told the truth.

02:39It turned out his master lived inside the wall. She was born autistic and refused to meet people.

02:43After her father died she locked herself in the chamber. After finishing the antique handover,

02:48Jason was ready to leave with his men. But the old butler hurried to stop him. He said Ellie had

02:53ordered a key to be made, allowing Jason to enter the villa at any time. This act stirred Jason's heart.

02:58He remembered that glance through the wall. Jason, who had never loved in 40 years, began to feel

03:02hope. From then on Jason often came to the villa, while collecting mechanical parts. He also bought

03:07daily items for Ellie. Until one day he found a pool of blood on the floor. Jason rushed to the wall.

03:13Ellie explained she had pricked her foot by accident. But no matter how Jason urged,

03:16she refused to go to the hospital. At that moment Jason's curiosity peaked. He made the sound of

03:21closing the door on purpose. Then hid behind a statue. This time he finally saw Ellie's figure.

03:27She was sitting on a chair sucking her injured toe. Jason was entranced when his phone fell to the

03:31ground. The girl panicked and ran back into the chamber. Jason also fled the villa in a panic.

03:36But before he reached the gate, Ellie called him. She said a thief had broken in and begged Jason

03:40to protect her. Hearing Ellie's sobs through the wall to calm her. Jason admitted it had been him.

03:45You were spying on me? You were spying on me? Get out! I want nothing more to do with you! Get out!

03:56He was heartbroken and ready to leave. But the girl's voice came again.

03:59Jason could not believe. Ellie had stepped out of the chamber for him. From then their feelings grew

04:14quickly. Jason tried every way to please Ellie daily. But just when he prepared a ring to propose,

04:19Ellie suddenly vanished. Jason searched the villa. Even combed the nearby park but still found nothing.

04:24He worried for Ellie constantly. And kept making mistakes at work. But he no longer cared about

04:29the cellars. Until one careless remark from a worker. Jason realized there might be another

04:33chamber in the villa. Sure enough he found Ellie in the attic. She said she had lost too much.

04:38And did not want to lose what she loved most. So she chose to hide. After this experience,

04:43Jason was more certain he had found true love. One night he had just parked near the villa.

04:47A gang suddenly rushed up to rob him. Barely alive Jason used his last strength to call Ellie.

04:52Ellie who had not stepped out of the villa in over 10 years. Rushed out without hesitation to save

04:56Jason. Jason could finally reveal his secret. He showed Ellie the room full of paintings.

05:01Ellie was stunned unable to breathe. To spend the rest of his life with her. Jason decided to leave

05:05the auction world. And take her to live in a quiet country. After his final auction ended. His long

05:10time partner gave him a painting as a gift. Jason ran home filled with excitement. But when he carried

05:15the painting into the vault. What he saw nearly made him collapse.
