00:00:00I don't know.
00:00:29Miss, wake up.
00:00:37Mrs. Lawson has prepared dinner and is calling for you.
00:00:42Such a handsome man.
00:00:43If I hadn't been woken up, I would have already had my way with him by now.
00:00:48Come, Zoe, sit next to Mom.
00:00:50Indeed, a child raised in the countryside with no manners at all.
00:01:02Don't you know how to greet people?
00:01:04Don't you know how to greet people?
00:01:34Mom, I was really thoughtless today.
00:01:37I shouldn't have fainted from not eating.
00:01:39I almost missed Zoe's homecoming, such a huge event.
00:01:42See? I made it back just in time.
00:01:44So this is that scheming bitch.
00:01:50Since you like to go on hunger strikes, why are you here to eat?
00:01:54Why don't you go back and rest properly?
00:01:56Mom, I already said I didn't mean to.
00:01:58Don't worry. From now on.
00:01:59That scheming bitch knows her playing the victim strategy is useless now, so she's provoking me directly, trying to make me lose my temper and make the whole family hate me, but I won't let her have her way.
00:02:10Zoe, you just came back from the countryside, so you might not be familiar with the decor of this house.
00:02:16If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I'll tell you everything.
00:02:19Thank you, Mia.
00:02:24She's indirectly calling me a country bumpkin, saying I have no experience.
00:02:28How dare you, a fake heiress, say such a thing.
00:02:34Alright.
00:02:35You've seen her.
00:02:36Now why don't you go back and get some proper rest?
00:02:39Mom,
00:02:40was your fainting earlier all an act?
00:02:42Mia Kang got humiliated and wronged.
00:02:50That scumbag dad, Victor, is probably heartbroken over it.
00:02:53He'll probably get angry and come to accuse me soon.
00:02:58Zoe, don't worry.
00:02:59As long as Mom is in this family, I will never allow you to be bullied by anyone.
00:03:06Mia is unconscious in this state today.
00:03:08As her mother, won't you check on her?
00:03:10She's been hurting.
00:03:11How can you be so heartless?
00:03:13My daughter is home today.
00:03:15Shouldn't I be with my daughter instead of her?
00:03:17You knew Zoe was back today and you're still in a hunger strike.
00:03:20What?
00:03:21Do you expect me to throw out my own biological daughter for that adopted one?
00:03:26She's a country girl, completely uncivilized.
00:03:29Bringing her back was already a favor.
00:03:32How could she possibly compare to Mia, who grew up with us?
00:03:35What's there not to compare?
00:03:36Mia has always been the epitome of a socialite in our circles.
00:03:41She's ill-bred, vulgar, and countrified.
00:03:45How can they compare?
00:03:47Oh my god.
00:03:53Mom truly is the eldest daughter of the Lynn family.
00:03:56If not for that scumbag dad, she'd be a total power woman now.
00:03:59With this presence, she'd dominate any man in business.
00:04:03Victor.
00:04:04I carried Zoe for ten months.
00:04:06Now she's finally back with me.
00:04:08I won't allow you to talk about her like that.
00:04:10If you refuse to acknowledge this daughter, then we'll divorce.
00:04:14What?
00:04:15He would never get a divorce.
00:04:17He's still hoping to use the Lynn family's money to cover the company's deficits.
00:04:21Besides, Mia is still expecting to get a huge dowry from mom, so she can marry the eldest son of the Shaw family.
00:04:27Oh now, darling.
00:04:31Don't be angry.
00:04:35I was just frustrated by her lack of potential.
00:04:38So I said some harsh words.
00:04:39Zoe is my biological daughter too.
00:04:41How could I not love her?
00:04:42Don't ever talk about us divorcing again.
00:04:44We've been married for over a decade, through thick and thin.
00:04:47It hasn't been easy.
00:04:49Let's not be unhappy.
00:04:51Over such a small thing.
00:04:52He has the nerve to say that.
00:04:55If he hadn't colluded with the other woman back then, staged a hero saves the beauty act, and tricked mom into falling for it.
00:05:02And then drugged her to make it irreversible.
00:05:05Mom wouldn't have married him.
00:05:08Staged?
00:05:09Drugged?
00:05:13Mom, are you okay?
00:05:15Doctor!
00:05:16Call a doctor!
00:05:17Doctor!
00:05:22Dad!
00:05:29We haven't gotten the Lynn family's money yet.
00:05:31We need to be patient a little longer.
00:05:38That damn scumbag.
00:05:40He bullied my beautiful mom like this.
00:05:42Should I find someone to teach him a lesson?
00:05:44He loves to cheat, doesn't he?
00:05:46I'll find him five, six, seven, eight middle-aged women.
00:05:49And wear him out until he's impotent.
00:05:52What is this kid thinking all day long?
00:05:54I need to find a way to quickly distract Zoe's attention.
00:05:58Hey Zoe, how about I take you out for a bit?
00:06:00Let's let mom rest.
00:06:03Let's go.
00:06:04Let's go.
00:06:16Hello, Mr. Frost.
00:06:19Mr. Frost.
00:06:20Mr. Frost.
00:06:22Connor, who is this person?
00:06:37What a grand entrance.
00:06:38This is Mr. Frost from the powerful Frost family of Viridia City.
00:06:42Everyone relies on his connections to make money.
00:06:45I heard Adrian Frost is uninterested in women.
00:06:47I wonder if he's uninterested or just impotent.
00:06:57Go see who's across from us.
00:07:00Sir.
00:07:01Across from us is Connor Lawson from the Lawson family and his sister Zoe.
00:07:06Looking at his physique, he doesn't seem impotent.
00:07:10Could he be gay?
00:07:11Zoe, how about we just go home?
00:07:18If we stay longer, who knows what kind of trouble we'll stir up.
00:07:21Our family can't afford to offend someone like him.
00:07:24Let's go.
00:07:24This man.
00:07:40He's the one from my dream.
00:07:44He's so handsome, but he dies tragically in the end.
00:07:47What a pity.
00:07:48Zoe, that man is a notoriously ruthless person.
00:07:51He could crush our Lawson family with a flick of his finger.
00:07:54Can you stop thinking out loud?
00:07:55Your brother's heart can't take it.
00:07:58Zoe.
00:07:59This is Mr. Frost.
00:08:02Mr. Frost?
00:08:05I didn't see her open her mouth, but I heard her speak.
00:08:10Am I hearing her inner thoughts?
00:08:12She says I'm going to die.
00:08:14Mr. Lawson.
00:08:16And this is...
00:08:17Mr. Frost.
00:08:18This is my younger sister, Zoe Lawson.
00:08:20She was raised in the countryside.
00:08:22And we just recently found her.
00:08:26Zoe Lawson.
00:08:34From now on, if you see Mr. Frost, stay far away from him.
00:08:37Why?
00:08:38They say Adrian Frost is ruthless.
00:08:40Back when the Frost family was in turmoil, he became the head of the family at just 18,
00:08:45against everyone's wishes.
00:08:46They say he made an example of his rivals, driving out the entire main branch of the family
00:08:50abroad.
00:08:51He also had the only child of the second branch's legs broken.
00:08:54In short, he's a very dangerous man.
00:08:56Stay away from him.
00:08:58Mom, why isn't Zoe here yet?
00:08:59She's making so many of us wait for her.
00:09:01You can tell she's from the countryside, with no manners or discipline.
00:09:07Mom.
00:09:08Zoe.
00:09:08Zoe, are you tired from playing?
00:09:11No, I'm not.
00:09:12Just feel disgusted.
00:09:14How annoying.
00:09:15First thing in the morning, I have to hear some wannabe squawking.
00:09:18Does she really think adding a few feathers makes her a phoenix?
00:09:21Let me tell you.
00:09:22If you dare piss me off, I'll pluck every single one of those feathers right off you,
00:09:27and you won't be able to show your face in public.
00:09:29You!
00:09:32Zoe Lawson, I'm not done with you.
00:09:34That look in her eyes, she wants to devour me alive.
00:09:38I used to think Mia was gentle and generous.
00:09:40Now, when I see her, she reminds me of the wicked female villain from a TV show.
00:09:44Yesterday, I heard Zoe's inner thoughts.
00:09:47The Mia I used to dote on isn't the adopted daughter Dad brought home from the orphanage.
00:09:50She's probably Dad's illegitimate daughter.
00:09:55All right.
00:09:56Everyone, go do what you need to do.
00:09:58Mom!
00:09:59Zoe.
00:10:00Mom will take you to walk in the garden.
00:10:02Mm-hmm.
00:10:04I want to go, too.
00:10:07No way.
00:10:08I need to ask my mom for help.
00:10:10If this continues, forget the Lynn family's fortune.
00:10:12I won't even get a share of the Lawson family's.
00:10:19My Zoe is even prettier than these flowers.
00:10:24Catherine.
00:10:29This woman, she must be Scumbag Dad's mistress, right?
00:10:32Mia and she are practically cut from the same cloth.
00:10:36The one Victor was having an affair with?
00:10:38Catherine.
00:10:39I heard Mia collapsed a few days ago, and you didn't even go see her.
00:10:43When I saw how thin Mia was just now, even I, her aunt, felt my heartache.
00:10:47Really?
00:10:49Why didn't I see that?
00:10:52Mia grew up under your care.
00:10:55Just because your biological daughter is back, you're treating your adopted daughter poorly?
00:10:58So, you've come to stand up for your biological daughter, have you?
00:11:03Trying to sow discord between mom and me.
00:11:05Let's see how I teach you a lesson.
00:11:06Chloe, you're so concerned about Mia.
00:11:15Anyone who didn't know would think Mia isn't my adopted daughter, but your biological one.
00:11:20How could Mia possibly be my daughter?
00:11:25I was just worried you'd show favoritism.
00:11:27Letting outsiders gossip that the Lawson family can't accommodate an adopted daughter.
00:11:32Chloe, I was just making a joke.
00:11:35Why are you so tense?
00:11:36So, this is the daughter you brought back?
00:11:42She's quite pretty, I'll give her that.
00:11:44But she lacks manners.
00:11:47Mom?
00:11:49Connor?
00:11:50And who is this?
00:11:52She.
00:11:54She's your father's deceased elder brother's wife.
00:11:57Your aunt by marriage.
00:11:59My aunt by marriage, huh?
00:12:03Dressed like a peacock.
00:12:04So ugly.
00:12:08You.
00:12:09You country bumpkin!
00:12:11Truly no manners.
00:12:13What's going on here?
00:12:16I came here in good faith to see Zoe.
00:12:19Perhaps she doesn't like me.
00:12:20She said I was dressed like a peacock.
00:12:23Zoe.
00:12:24Your aunt by marriage came to see you out of kindness.
00:12:26And you dared to insult her.
00:12:28You.
00:12:30Victor!
00:12:31Am I your wife or is she your wife?
00:12:33You'd hit my daughter for her sake?
00:12:36What are you talking about?
00:12:40Mom.
00:12:41Don't blame dad or our aunt.
00:12:43Look how much Mia and our aunt resemble each other.
00:12:46Anyone who didn't know would think they were a family of three.
00:12:50You scoundrel.
00:12:51What nonsense are you spouting?
00:12:52I'll beat you to death today.
00:12:55Dad!
00:12:56Victor.
00:12:57Victor.
00:12:57While I'm here.
00:12:59Try to lay a hand on my daughter.
00:13:02Catherine.
00:13:03He's your husband.
00:13:04How can you hit him?
00:13:06If you dare hit Zoe, I don't mind taking you down with me.
00:13:10Sweetheart.
00:13:11Victor, come on.
00:13:13I'll take you to the hospital to check your injuries.
00:13:20Mom!
00:13:21Mom, are you alright?
00:13:23I'm fine.
00:13:25Just tired.
00:13:26You.
00:13:27Go rest with your brother.
00:13:29Come on.
00:13:36I still need to find a way to divorce Victor as soon as possible.
00:13:52Among these auction items, is there nothing you like?
00:13:54Ethan, I want to go out for a walk.
00:14:12Excuse me.
00:14:14It's fine.
00:14:15Miss Lawson, are you here with your brother for the auction?
00:14:18You know me?
00:14:21You are...
00:14:23From the Frost family.
00:14:25Julian?
00:14:25That's Julian, the one from the book whose legs Adrian broke.
00:14:29He's a key figure whose actions lead to the Frost family's troubles in the plot.
00:14:34Oh, it's Julian.
00:14:35My apologies.
00:14:36I've been out too long.
00:14:38My brother must be worried.
00:14:39I have to go.
00:14:40Goodbye, Julian.
00:14:41If I had known I'd run into Julian, I would have stayed put at the auction with my brother.
00:14:50Now everyone's at the auction.
00:14:52Who would find me?
00:14:53There's no one I can call for help.
00:14:55No one to answer.
00:14:57Miss Lawson, what's the rush?
00:14:59Just come with me obediently.
00:15:01Otherwise, don't blame me for being less than pleasant.
00:15:08How do you intend to be unpleasant?
00:15:10Mr. Frost, just a woman.
00:15:23If you're interested, just say the word.
00:15:25As your younger brother, I'd just let you have her.
00:15:28Why get so angry?
00:15:32Get back to the Frost estate.
00:15:34If there's a next time, I can't guarantee your other leg won't end up crippled.
00:15:40Could it be I was too harsh just now and scared her?
00:16:03That jawline, that face, that waist.
00:16:10This man truly is perfect, but unfortunately, he's useless.
00:16:14Such a perfect man, yet he doesn't belong to me, but to other men.
00:16:18My heart aches.
00:16:19The CEO just saved the damsel in distress.
00:16:21Why doesn't he seize the opportunity to confess his feelings and win Zoe's heart?
00:16:25What's with this sudden change of expression?
00:16:26Mr. Frost, I'm going back first.
00:16:32The auction is over.
00:16:34My brother will worry if he can't find me.
00:16:36And thank you again for today.
00:16:42Adrian is so often with that Gavin character.
00:16:45Could it be that they...
00:16:47Rich people really have all sorts of kinks.
00:16:49Sir, I'm going on a business trip abroad tomorrow.
00:16:55Understood.
00:16:56You're going alone.
00:17:04Adrian.
00:17:05I like this.
00:17:11And this too.
00:17:17Do you like it?
00:17:18Yes.
00:17:24Adrian.
00:17:31Zoe Lawson.
00:17:32You offered yourself willingly.
00:17:34So no crying.
00:17:35No crying.
00:17:48I actually had a wet dream.
00:17:50And it was with...
00:17:52Has that scheming two-faced girl finally had enough and decided to make a move on me?
00:18:17She actually stole the bracelet mom gave me.
00:18:32She actually stole the bracelet mom gave me.
00:18:37Too bad for her.
00:18:38To guard against you, I long ago replaced everything in my room with fakes.
00:18:45Whatever your plan, it's destined to fall at the final hurdle.
00:18:56Mom.
00:18:57These are the vitamins the family doctor prepared for you.
00:18:59You've gone to great trouble.
00:19:14These aren't vitamins at all.
00:19:15They're psychotropic drugs.
00:19:17If a mentally sound person takes too many, they'll become a senile fool.
00:19:29Mom.
00:19:30Mom, are you alright?
00:19:32No, I'm fine.
00:19:33Just a little dizzy.
00:19:39My hand slipped.
00:19:46Good thing I didn't take them.
00:19:48That Mia replaced mom's regular vitamins with antipsychotic pills.
00:19:52This led to mom becoming mentally unstable later on, falling gravely ill and dying.
00:20:00Mom!
00:20:01It's all my fault.
00:20:03I'll go get you a new one.
00:20:06No need.
00:20:07I'm fine.
00:20:09And I don't need to take any medicine.
00:20:13Mia, I used to work in a pharmacy, so I know a bit about medicine.
00:20:17How about you let me see the pills?
00:20:19Then I'll get some for mom myself.
00:20:25No need.
00:20:27You work at a pharmacy.
00:20:28How can that compare to a professional family doctor?
00:20:30Mom.
00:20:32Since you're fine, I'll head back and rest.
00:20:34I won't bother you anymore.
00:20:41As long as I'm here, no one will lay a hand on mom.
00:20:44Mrs. Lawson, this is an invitation from the White family.
00:20:50They're inviting you and Mrs. Lawson to a banquet tomorrow night.
00:20:59Isabella White, the White family's daughter, is Ethan's crush.
00:21:02One time she was almost hit by a car.
00:21:05And was almost hit by a car.
00:21:07Ethan saw it, pushed her away, and saved her, which ultimately left him disabled.
00:21:11But that car accident was actually Isabella, along with that scumbag dad, Victor, and his illegitimate son, Sean, conspiring together.
00:21:21They were specifically trying to target Ethan, all to get the company shares he holds.
00:21:26Sean is also Victor's illegitimate son?
00:21:28I absolutely can't let Ethan be schemed against and lose his legs.
00:21:33Mom.
00:21:37You've worked hard on your business trip.
00:21:39How many days will you be home this time?
00:21:41I can rest for a few days this time.
00:21:45This must be Zoe.
00:21:47Hi, Ethan.
00:21:48I just overheard at the door, Isabella and Sean plotting against me to make me lose my legs in a car accident, and seize my company shares.
00:21:56Ethan is tall, handsome, and decisive.
00:21:58It would be a pity for him to be in a wheelchair.
00:22:04You came back from your business trip to attend the White family's banquet, right?
00:22:08Yes, I received an invitation from the White family to their banquet.
00:22:11I must go to this banquet.
00:22:12Isabella will reel Ethan in, making him think she likes him too, and be utterly devoted to her.
00:22:18I must expose Isabella, that scheming, two-faced girl.
00:22:22No.
00:22:23I don't believe Isabella has been deceiving me all this time.
00:22:29You look so beautiful today.
00:22:31Cheers.
00:22:33Eat more.
00:22:35Mrs. White.
00:22:37Oh, Catherine, you're here.
00:22:42This is...
00:22:45This is my biological daughter, Zoe Lawson.
00:22:51She went missing as a child.
00:22:53And I just found her.
00:22:56Well, I have to say, this girl really resembles you when you were young.
00:23:01But her demeanor is far from yours in your youth.
00:23:08Old hag, stirring up trouble.
00:23:10I will absolutely not let Ethan marry Isabella.
00:23:12Isabella has long been hooking up with Sean.
00:23:15Have been hooking up.
00:23:16The reason Ethan likes Isabella is because when they were little,
00:23:19Ethan was so handsome that he looked like a girl.
00:23:21He was bullied by other kids.
00:23:23Isabella drove away the ones who bullied Ethan,
00:23:26which is why he considers her his idealized love.
00:23:29Catherine, you've found your biological daughter now.
00:23:32But you shouldn't neglect your adopted daughter, Mia.
00:23:35After all, for families like ours, decorum is still important.
00:23:42Of course, as long as she's obedient, we won't mistreat her.
00:23:47After calling you mom for so many years, you won't even give me a...
00:23:54Mrs. White.
00:23:58Where is Isabella?
00:23:59Judging by her expression, don't tell me Isabella is with Sean right now.
00:24:07I should go make trouble for them.
00:24:09At such an important event, Isabella is actually messing around with Sean,
00:24:13that illegitimate son.
00:24:14It seems Victor, that scumbag, has been secretly in contact with the white family behind my back.
00:24:19Mom, I want to go play over there.
00:24:21Be careful.
00:24:24Got it?
00:24:30Don't worry.
00:24:32Ethan is just my simp.
00:24:34As long as I sweet-talk him a little, he'll be utterly devoted to me.
00:24:39Then the shares he holds will all be ours.
00:24:44That's Isabella and Sean.
00:24:46They're too close, aren't they?
00:24:48They're kissing!
00:24:51Sean!
00:24:55For you, in front of Ethan, that idiot.
00:24:58I've had to act like I like him and seduce him.
00:25:01Don't you forget, you promised me that after this is done,
00:25:04you'll marry me.
00:25:10Don't worry.
00:25:11Once you get the shares from Ethan,
00:25:14we'll get married right away.
00:25:15This kind of live show, I can't be the only one disgusted by it.
00:25:24I need to find a way to draw everyone over here.
00:25:27Sir,
00:25:27is Miss Lawson trying to make this public knowledge?
00:25:31Go help her.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:34I toast to you.
00:25:35Something's wrong.
00:25:42What happened?
00:25:43Someone fell into the pool.
00:25:46Well, you all carry on chatting.
00:25:48I'll go take a look.
00:25:50Let's go.
00:25:52Mom, let's go watch the commotion, too.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:54Who is it?
00:26:00Who fell into the pool?
00:26:11Go.
00:26:12Hurry.
00:26:12Don't let anyone come here.
00:26:15Let's go see.
00:26:17Mrs. White, who fell into the pool?
00:26:19Let us see if there's anything we can do to help.
00:26:24Mrs. White, please don't be shy with us.
00:26:30No, thank you.
00:26:32What do we do?
00:26:33It's over.
00:26:34This is going to be good.
00:26:36Sean!
00:26:38Your servant?
00:26:39How can she do such a thing in your house in broad daylight?
00:26:41There are people coming and going outside.
00:26:43To be so.
00:26:45Impatient.
00:26:46I'll handle this matter.
00:26:48Everyone, please go to the banquet hall first.
00:26:50Don't let this spoil your good mood.
00:26:53Let's go.
00:26:53How can they be so bold?
00:26:56What's going on?
00:26:56How is it that I heard someone fell into the pool?
00:26:59It's all a misunderstanding.
00:27:01It was our servant.
00:27:02She mistook that dummy and Isabella's dog for people.
00:27:05Didn't I just throw a dummy?
00:27:07How did a dog fall in two?
00:27:09Is fate helping me?
00:27:10Who did this?
00:27:11Be gentle.
00:27:14What was that sound?
00:27:15You're realizing this too late.
00:27:17Today I will definitely make sure that Sean, this illegitimate son, and Isabella's affair
00:27:21are exposed.
00:27:22This will tie them together for good.
00:27:24Then Ethan will give up on Isabella, and he won't have to marry Isabella, who's already
00:27:28been with Sean.
00:27:30Isabella and Sean?
00:27:32Are they the ones ahead?
00:27:33No.
00:27:34There's nothing to hear.
00:27:35Why are you hiding things?
00:27:36Moo!
00:27:37How dare someone cause trouble at the white family's banquet?
00:27:40Do they have a death wish?
00:27:42I'll teach them a lesson.
00:27:43Don't go.
00:27:44No, no, no.
00:27:46I'd like to see who it is today causing trouble for the white family.
00:27:53Isabella.
00:27:54Sean.
00:27:54You too?
00:27:56You scoundrel!
00:27:58How dare you cry?
00:27:59Look what you've done!
00:28:00Today's events.
00:28:03If I can't resolve this properly, not only will my reputation be ruined, but I'll also
00:28:07anger the white family and make enemies.
00:28:10Mr. White?
00:28:11Mrs. White?
00:28:12What I did was wrong.
00:28:14Actually, Isabella and I have been together for a while.
00:28:16We haven't had the chance before to formally call.
00:28:18After this, when I go back, I'll prepare a proper engagement gift and personally come
00:28:22to propose.
00:28:23Now that Isabella's true colors are exposed, Ethan won't be blindly loyal to her.
00:28:28He also won't lose shares for her or become disabled.
00:28:31Zoe, thank you.
00:28:33For making me see Isabella's true colors.
00:28:37Everyone.
00:28:38The white family apologizes for the poor hospitality today.
00:28:41Please leave.
00:28:44Let's go.
00:28:48Today's events.
00:28:49Someone clearly set a trap.
00:28:50Don't let me find out who did it.
00:28:53Otherwise, I will never forgive them.
00:29:00Mr. Frost, the white family was rude today.
00:29:03It's fine.
00:29:05Adrian Frost.
00:29:06He has always been cold and ruthless.
00:29:10Why is he here today, joining this commotion?
00:29:18Zoe, you must be tired today.
00:29:19Why don't you go back to your room to rest?
00:29:22Mom will have a servant bring you something delicious later.
00:29:24Okay.
00:29:29Go call Connor to the study.
00:29:32Yes.
00:29:37Mom, why did you call us here this time?
00:29:39I called you here to talk about Zoe.
00:29:42About her inner thoughts.
00:29:43You mean, you can hear them too?
00:29:48Yes.
00:29:49I heard them too.
00:29:50On my way to pick up Zoe, I heard it.
00:29:54About Zoe's inner thoughts, it's too unbelievable.
00:29:57Please don't tell Zoe and don't tell anyone else.
00:30:00If someone with ill intentions finds out, it could harm Zoe.
00:30:04Don't worry, Mom.
00:30:05We won't say anything.
00:30:06Although I don't know why Zoe can foresee the future.
00:30:09But regarding her inner thoughts, we need to take precautions.
00:30:14All these things that happened at the white families today were done by Zoe.
00:30:18She did it to help Ethan, to change the situation, and more importantly, to help us change our destiny.
00:30:25Don't worry, Mom.
00:30:26I'm not someone who doesn't know right from wrong.
00:30:28I know everything Zoe did today was to help me.
00:30:33But these things...
00:30:34We can't let her, a young girl, bear this alone.
00:30:37Our own destiny should be changed by ourselves.
00:30:40From now on, these matters we will handle ourselves.
00:30:42We must protect Zoe and not owe her anything more.
00:30:45And we can't let Zoe worry about us anymore.
00:30:48Exactly.
00:30:49We will definitely protect her.
00:30:50About Zoe's ability to foresee the future and her inner thoughts, we must keep it a secret.
00:30:56Never let anyone else know.
00:31:04Zoe, how about I take you out to play?
00:31:08Oh dear, yesterday's events were too dangerous.
00:31:11I've decided not to go out for a while.
00:31:15It truly was quite scary.
00:31:18As girls, we must protect ourselves well.
00:31:20Otherwise, you never know when one day someone might set you up.
00:31:25I think you're right.
00:31:26In that case...
00:31:28I'll stay home and play with you.
00:31:30I won't go anywhere.
00:31:31Okay?
00:31:32She's really not giving up, is she?
00:31:34Miss, here's the hoe you asked for.
00:31:40She really is from the countryside.
00:31:42She even does such dirty work.
00:31:43What are you doing?
00:31:49Of course, I'm going to...
00:31:51Plant flowers.
00:31:56Oh Mia.
00:31:57Didn't you say you'd keep me company?
00:31:59Why don't you join me?
00:32:00I'm the eldest daughter of the Lawson family.
00:32:03Who would do such dirty work?
00:32:05It seems you still haven't figured it out.
00:32:07I am the eldest daughter of the Lawson family.
00:32:09You're just an adopted daughter.
00:32:11I...
00:32:11I am the real eldest daughter of the Lawson family.
00:32:14You are what?
00:32:14I haven't gotten Catherine Lynn's money yet.
00:32:17That old woman's money.
00:32:18The fact that I'm dad's biological daughter can't be revealed yet.
00:32:21Never mind.
00:32:22It's nothing.
00:32:23I'm leaving now.
00:32:26Once dad gets control of the Lynn family's and Lawson family's companies and money,
00:32:29once he has everything, he'll kick your mom out.
00:32:32I'll be the Lawson family's only eldest daughter.
00:32:37Mom.
00:32:38Zoe, come sit next to mom.
00:32:40I heard that Mia has been coming to play with you a lot these past few days.
00:32:45She does come to see me often, but she only stays for a bit and then leaves.
00:32:49Playing with me is just an excuse.
00:32:51She really wants to set me up.
00:32:53I've given her such a good opportunity.
00:32:55If she can't use it, don't blame me.
00:32:58Oh, by the way, Zoe.
00:32:59Mom has something to tell you.
00:33:01Isabella and Sean are getting engaged.
00:33:04Really?
00:33:06That's wonderful.
00:33:07Lovers finally get their happy ending.
00:33:10This way, Ethan and Isabella will never have anything to do with each other again.
00:33:14But we still need to be wary of them.
00:33:16They might find other ways to get to Ethan.
00:33:19Ethan, Connor, Mom, I'm sorry.
00:33:21I'm going out for a few days.
00:33:22I'll come back once I've had enough fun.
00:33:30Ethan.
00:33:31Zoe ran away from home.
00:33:33Are we really not going to do anything?
00:33:34Are we just going to let her leave like this?
00:33:37It's fine for her to go out.
00:33:38Mom said there are a lot of things going on at home these past few days.
00:33:41Letting her go out for a couple of days to have some fun can help her clear her head.
00:33:51Sir.
00:33:52Zoe ran away from home.
00:33:54She went to a bar.
00:33:56And ordered a male escort.
00:33:58She's not very old.
00:34:00Miss Drink.
00:34:00It's been so long since I transmigrated into this book, and I haven't really had any fun.
00:34:11Before transmigrating, I was just a diligent corporate slave.
00:34:14Where would I have time to play here?
00:34:16Mia's mother has been a widow for many years.
00:34:18Although she's been secretly involved with Victor, she's also quite promiscuous and private.
00:34:23This bar is owned by Sean.
00:34:24Privately, he often finds men for his mother.
00:34:26Even Sean, who's supposedly Victor's illegitimate son, is actually the result of Chloe sleeping around with some man.
00:34:32And that's who she had him with.
00:34:51Handsome.
00:34:52You have a great body.
00:34:54Serve me well, and you'll be well rewarded.
00:34:56With this explosive video, I'll have leverage-
00:35:02Mrs. Lawson.
00:35:05I've handled everything you asked for.
00:35:07Sean really fell for it.
00:35:08He lost every penny.
00:35:09He even borrowed from loan sharks.
00:35:11He's probably crying his eyes out going to Victor right now.
00:35:13The Lawson family has no money.
00:35:15For so many years, the Lynn family has been supporting the Lawsons.
00:35:18They're not what they used to be.
00:35:20Zoe will be back soon.
00:35:22We probably can't hide this from her.
00:35:24She'll find out eventually.
00:35:25Zoe isn't some delicate canary.
00:35:28Your sister is quite bold.
00:35:30Catherine!
00:35:31Catherine!
00:35:32Something terrible happened.
00:35:33I invested in a project.
00:35:39And lost $50 million.
00:35:42You know, I don't have that much liquid capital.
00:35:45Go talk to the Lynn family and get $50 million from me.
00:35:49I don't have $50 million.
00:35:50For all these years, our Lynn family has been helping your Lawson family.
00:35:53We're not as prosperous as we once were.
00:35:58You still have 20% of the Lynn family's shares, don't you?
00:36:01Why don't you sell some?
00:36:02That should be tens of millions.
00:36:04Enough to cover the deficit.
00:36:06We are husband and wife.
00:36:08Isn't this Lawson family company yours too?
00:36:10Are you just going to watch it fall apart?
00:36:12I told you.
00:36:13I don't have any money.
00:36:14No?
00:36:18I think you just don't want to give it.
00:36:19We've been husband and wife for so many years.
00:36:22How can you be so heartless?
00:36:23I don't have $50 million.
00:36:27However, if I sell all my jewelry, I should have about $5 million.
00:36:33But I have one condition.
00:36:36Divorce?
00:36:36If you agree to divorce, these $5 million will be yours.
00:36:43Impossible.
00:36:44I won't divorce you.
00:36:45Since you married me, you belong to the Lawson family.
00:36:48You have to give me this money today, whether you want to or not.
00:36:51If you don't agree to divorce, your illegitimate son out there will have his legs broken by the loan sharks.
00:36:58And Chloe and Mia, how long will they have to wait to take your place?
00:37:02Illegitimate son?
00:37:04What nonsense are you talking about?
00:37:06Chloe is my sister-in-law.
00:37:07What could she possibly have to do with me?
00:37:09Don't you know best?
00:37:11If I'm talking nonsense?
00:37:12If you want Chloe and that illegitimate son of yours to be safe,
00:37:16then you'd better just sign this divorce agreement.
00:37:19Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to work all for nothing.
00:37:25How did you know about these things?
00:37:27When did you find out?
00:37:32Fine.
00:37:35I'll think about it.
00:37:36Now that I have the video, what should I do to make them reap what they sow?
00:37:48A man is holding your item, claiming he's your boyfriend.
00:37:50My.
00:37:53Sir.
00:37:54Our people just got word that Zoe is in trouble again.
00:37:57What trouble?
00:37:58Julian has Zoe's bracelet, claiming she let him on and then abandoned him.
00:38:01And now he's demanding to marry her.
00:38:03He's causing a scene at the Lawson family residence.
00:38:06He's asking for death.
00:38:08Why isn't Zoe out yet?
00:38:10Could it be that after she was acknowledged by the Lawson family,
00:38:13she's despising me, a cripple?
00:38:15But even if she doesn't want me anymore,
00:38:17please ask her to come out and take this bracelet back.
00:38:21Miss Lawson really isn't here.
00:38:22Shall I go look for her again?
00:38:23Sir, should we go up and take Julian away?
00:38:37Not yet.
00:38:39Julian may be absurd, but he grew up in the Frost family.
00:38:42He can't be brainless.
00:38:44He must have other tricks up his sleeve.
00:38:50Julian.
00:38:51You're talking nonsense.
00:38:53Ruining my daughter's reputation.
00:38:55I can sue you!
00:38:57Zoe and I had a date at the auction house a while ago.
00:39:00She personally gave me this bracelet.
00:39:02I originally thought she was hinting that she wanted to marry me.
00:39:04That's why I eagerly brought the betrothal gifts to your door.
00:39:08The bracelet?
00:39:12Zoe, you're out!
00:39:16You should really take a good look at the bracelet in your hand.
00:39:18What, did breaking your leg last time not teach you a lesson?
00:39:24Do you want me to kick that leg of yours a couple more times?
00:39:28Zoe, you really do despise me for being a cripple.
00:39:31I don't despise you for being a cripple.
00:39:35I despise you.
00:39:39Look closely.
00:39:41This is the bracelet Mom gave me.
00:39:43The one in your hand is a fake, just like how you deliberately imitate Adrian's style.
00:39:48Your entire being...
00:39:50I didn't expect Zoe to have a backup plan.
00:39:53But how did this bracelet get into Julian's hands?
00:39:56Did Mia give it to him?
00:39:58How did those two hook up?
00:40:00Zoe!
00:40:02Shut your mouth!
00:40:05Mr. Frost.
00:40:07My daughter was spoiled by me.
00:40:08She just came back from the countryside.
00:40:10And doesn't know any manners.
00:40:12Dad!
00:40:15You can't scold me just because you prefer my sister, that illegitimate daughter of yours.
00:40:20Everything I said is true.
00:40:22What?
00:40:23What did I do wrong?
00:40:25You scoundrel!
00:40:26What are you talking about?
00:40:27Your sister is someone I adopted from an orphanage.
00:40:30Everyone knows that.
00:40:31And now we're talking about your marriage to Mr. Frost.
00:40:34Don't drag your sister into this.
00:40:36Really?
00:40:37Well, since Dad likes Mr. Frost so much, why don't you let Mia have this good marriage?
00:40:45How can that not work?
00:40:48I get it now.
00:40:50You must despise Mr. Frost for being a cripple.
00:40:52That's why you're reluctant to let Mia marry him.
00:40:55Then how can you bear to let me marry him, Dad?
00:40:58Right, Mom?
00:40:59Mm-hmm.
00:41:29Technically, I'm still a direct descendant of the Frost family.
00:41:32Of course, of course, of course, Mr. Frost.
00:41:33What are you saying?
00:41:34Mr. Frost, for you to favor our Mia.
00:41:37That's her good fortune.
00:41:39Mr. Frost, please.
00:41:49There's more to Julian than meets the eye.
00:41:51To come here and cause such a scene.
00:41:53Forcing that scumbag Dad to sell his daughter with money.
00:41:57Is he trying to attract someone's attention?
00:41:59In the book, he even defeated Adrian.
00:42:02I must be wary.
00:42:06Sir.
00:42:07It looks like your help isn't needed here.
00:42:09Zoe can handle it herself.
00:42:11She's always been clever.
00:42:13Go arrange something.
00:42:14Teach Mia and Julian a lesson.
00:42:15And that bracelet.
00:42:17Destroy it.
00:42:19Understood.
00:42:21I was just praising Zoe.
00:42:22Mom.
00:42:23I was just waiting for you.
00:42:24I was just waiting for you.
00:42:24Mom.
00:42:26Mia really shot herself in the foot this time.
00:42:29Mia's problem is solved.
00:42:31Next up are my brothers.
00:42:32I wonder which of my unfortunate brothers that scumbag Dad will try to harm next.
00:42:38Okay, Zoe.
00:42:39Don't think about it anymore.
00:42:41Tomorrow is the Frost Matriarch's Birthday Banquet.
00:42:43Get yourself ready.
00:42:45Mom will take you.
00:42:47A birthday banquet?
00:42:49That's right.
00:42:50It's almost time for the Frost Matriarch's Birthday Banquet.
00:42:53At the banquet, internal strife will erupt within the Frost family.
00:42:57Adrian will have an accident and fall into a coma.
00:42:59Julian will take over and the business world will be reshuffled.
00:43:01Everyone who collaborated with Adrian will be driven to bankruptcy and liquidation by Julian.
00:43:07The Lynn family was one of those pressured.
00:43:10They ended up in direct bankruptcy and liquidation.
00:43:12It caused my grandfather to have a stroke, leaving him in a vegetative state.
00:43:17A vegetable?
00:43:18No!
00:43:18Julian can't succeed this time.
00:43:20I have to save the Lynn family.
00:43:26This is the Frost estate.
00:43:28I can't drag my three brothers into this.
00:43:30Adrian, however, is perfect for this.
00:43:33This time, he'll either get hurt or fall into a coma.
00:43:36He can save himself, right?
00:43:41How am I supposed to get in?
00:43:45I got it.
00:43:47Climb the wall.
00:43:53Sir, Zoe is about to climb over the back wall.
00:43:58What's she doing here?
00:43:59I'm not sure either.
00:44:00Should I let her in now?
00:44:05No need.
00:44:07Open the back door.
00:44:09Give the estate staff the day off.
00:44:11Don't bother me unless it's urgent.
00:44:14Is the boss planning a romantic day with Zoe?
00:44:16Some Frost estate, this is.
00:44:25The security system is terrible.
00:44:32That's odd.
00:44:33How is it that there's no one here?
00:44:36At the Frost's?
00:44:43Wow.
00:44:44Oh my goodness.
00:44:45I thought the Lawson family's decor was already blinding enough.
00:44:48I didn't expect the Frost families to be even more extravagant.
00:44:51I don't understand the world of the rich.
00:44:53It's truly astonishing.
00:44:55It's truly astonishing.
00:45:00Could Adrian be upstairs?
00:45:04How strange.
00:45:06How is it that there's not a soul in this huge mansion?
00:45:09Are you insane?
00:45:30You don't make a sound when you walk.
00:45:33Don't you know you can give someone a heart attack by scaring them like that?
00:45:37Oh no, I'm doomed.
00:45:38Adrian caught me red-handed just like that.
00:45:40He wouldn't think I'm a thief breaking into his house, right?
00:45:43And break my legs and throw me out, would he?
00:45:45My legs.
00:45:48They're not really going to be broken, are they?
00:45:52But then again, then again, this guy has such an amazing body.
00:45:57Those abs, that chest?
00:45:59He's practically a walking thirst trap.
00:46:06Let go of me!
00:46:08Zoe went to all this trouble to come to my house?
00:46:10Just to throw herself into my arms?
00:46:12Who's throwing themselves at you?
00:46:16Why are you taking a shower so early in the morning?
00:46:19And dressed.
00:46:21So revealing.
00:46:23Shameless.
00:46:25Then I'd like to ask the modest Zoe creeping into my house.
00:46:30Just to watch me shower?
00:46:33Stealing a peek?
00:46:34I'm looking openly, okay?
00:46:36What a waste not to look at such a good body.
00:46:38That chest.
00:46:40Those abs.
00:46:40Not only do I look, I even sleep with you in my dreams.
00:46:45No way!
00:46:47Of course I'm here for something serious.
00:46:49I looked around your house.
00:46:51And didn't see a single servant.
00:46:53I just happened to stumble into this room.
00:46:55Who knew?
00:46:57You'd be showering so early in the morning?
00:46:58Didn't you say you came for something?
00:47:10Mr. Frost, I'm here to discuss a partnership with you.
00:47:14What makes you think you have a chance to partner with me?
00:47:16You shouldn't put it that way.
00:47:24Whether we can partner depends.
00:47:27On whether my information is valuable.
00:47:30I'll give you a chance.
00:47:33Speak.
00:47:33If my information can save you, then in the future, if my mom, my brothers, and I have
00:47:40any problems, I hope you'll help us, Mr. Frost.
00:47:43What information?
00:47:45At the matriarch's birthday banquet this time, be careful of your own family.
00:47:50Especially those women who seem harmless, but are exceptionally beautiful.
00:47:54Otherwise, you'll only have will only be half gone.
00:47:59I think you're right.
00:48:05Where are you looking?
00:48:09Logically speaking, I'm quite beautiful too.
00:48:11Yet Adrian has no interest in me.
00:48:14He's not actually into men, is he?
00:48:16What a pity.
00:48:17All that impressive physique, but it's all show and no go.
00:48:22Adrian.
00:48:24If I had known, I wouldn't have come to you.
00:48:26For my mom and brothers, I could have also used other ways to save them.
00:48:30I shouldn't have come today.
00:48:32You could have just lost half your life at the birthday banquet.
00:48:39I'll have Gavin take you back in a bit.
00:48:42Thank you, Mr. Frost.
00:48:43But I can walk back myself.
00:48:46And also...
00:48:47Mr. Frost, please be careful of your family.
00:48:49Sir, Zoe left through the back door.
00:48:57Go find out who Julian has been in contact with lately.
00:49:00Understood.
00:49:01Mom should be asleep by now, right?
00:49:11Miss, Madam has been waiting for you in the living room.
00:49:15Oh no.
00:49:17Mom didn't find out about me going to the Frost Estate, did she?
00:49:20Mom.
00:49:34So you decided to come back.
00:49:36Where were you?
00:49:37I can't tell Mom I went to the Frost Estate to find Adrian.
00:49:40To warn him about the Frost family so I could use the favor of saving his life to get Adrian to help out the Lynn family.
00:49:45Adrian has a reputation.
00:49:46If Mom knew I went to him, wouldn't she worry even more?
00:49:52So Zoe was trying to save Mr. Frost and change the Lynn family's destiny.
00:49:58All right.
00:50:00Next time you go out, be careful.
00:50:02Don't come home so late.
00:50:04Got it.
00:50:05Thanks, Mom.
00:50:07Madam, Miss, Mrs. Kang is here.
00:50:12Probably about Julian and Mia's marriage.
00:50:14Julian is a pervert.
00:50:15And a cripple.
00:50:16She must have gone to Scumbag Dad to cause a scene.
00:50:19As long as he doesn't bother us, let him do whatever he wants.
00:50:28Chloe.
00:50:31You're making such a scene in this house.
00:50:33Do you really think this is your home?
00:50:36Catherine, Mia is your daughter too.
00:50:38How could you let her marry that cripple with no money or status?
00:50:43I only have one daughter and that's Zoe.
00:50:45Zoe.
00:50:45Mia was brought back by Victor from the orphanage back then.
00:50:50If our Zoe hadn't gone missing, I wouldn't have.
00:50:54Adopted a daughter.
00:50:56She should be grateful.
00:50:57Otherwise, she might still be suffering somewhere now.
00:51:01But...
00:51:02I've done more than enough by not having Mia sent out of my house.
00:51:08As for this marriage?
00:51:10As for this marriage?
00:51:11Catherine.
00:51:11Catherine.
00:51:12Just because your biological daughter is back, you're mistreating your adopted one?
00:51:17You're truly ruthless.
00:51:18Julian, despite being born into the Frost family, is now a cripple.
00:51:23How could you let Mia marry him?
00:51:28Regarding this matter, it was Victor and Julian who settled it.
00:51:32And the Frost family offered a generous bride price.
00:51:35Even if he's crippled, it doesn't affect a normal life, does it?
00:51:39Exactly.
00:51:41Even so, I don't agree.
00:51:45Chloe regarding Mia's marriage.
00:51:48Why are you so agitated?
00:51:50Anyone who didn't know would think she was your biological daughter.
00:51:54Exactly.
00:51:56Mia grew up under my watch.
00:51:58Your elder brother passed away early and I don't have a daughter so I treat her like my own.
00:52:01Is it wrong for me to care about her?
00:52:06Chloe, I was just joking.
00:52:08Why are you so nervous?
00:52:10It's been so many years since your elder brother passed away.
00:52:13If a grown daughter suddenly appeared, it would be quite strange, wouldn't it?
00:52:17Anyone who didn't know might think you-
00:52:19Catherine.
00:52:21What is that supposed to mean?
00:52:23Your elder brother may be gone, but there's no way I would betray him.
00:52:28I have something else to do.
00:52:29I'm leaving.
00:52:31Mom, Mia is an illegitimate daughter.
00:52:35Why don't you expose them?
00:52:37That's right.
00:52:38Why hasn't Victor told Chloe that I already know about their relationship?
00:52:43It seems they're not truly devoted or unified after all.
00:52:48Right now is not the right time.
00:52:51Exposing them early would only make them to flaunt their affair right in my face.
00:52:56Isn't it better this way?
00:52:58Watching them act like buffoons.
00:52:59Mom, you're the best.
00:53:05Alright, it's getting late.
00:53:07Go back and get some good rest.
00:53:10Mm-hmm.
00:53:17Who's there?
00:53:17Zoe, you're incredibly sharp.
00:53:23If you had screamed two more times, I'd probably be caught by the Lawson family bodyguards like a thief.
00:53:28I thought it was some admirer breaking into my room in the middle of the night.
00:53:33Turns out it's Mr. Frost.
00:53:35Zoe, if you can sneak into my house to peep on me in the shower.
00:53:38Why can't I come here?
00:53:40You came to see me?
00:53:41Is it for something important?
00:53:42Of course, I'm here for something important.
00:53:46We haven't even seen each other for half a day.
00:53:48And you're already here looking for me.
00:53:50Did you find anything?
00:53:53Julian recently used the bride price as leverage to bring a friend back from overseas.
00:53:57Her name is Stella Shaw.
00:53:58Stella Shaw?
00:53:59The novel says this Stella Shaw is incredibly fast.
00:54:02Years ago, because she was caught cheating at cards at a casino,
00:54:05she was hunted down by the boss and eventually fled the country.
00:54:08If it's her, no wonder the poisoning was successful.
00:54:11Julian really spared no expense to bring her back.
00:54:15Coming here to hear your inner thoughts.
00:54:18I really do learn a lot.
00:54:23But Julian doesn't know that Stella only agreed to cooperate with him on the surface.
00:54:27In reality, her true goal is Adrian.
00:54:29She doesn't want to poison him.
00:54:31She wants to use this incident to get close to Adrian and win him over.
00:54:35As expected, dangerously handsome men cause trouble.
00:54:38Stella is truly head over heels for Adrian.
00:54:41Adrian really.
00:54:42If he doesn't like women, why does he provoke them?
00:54:50I haven't provoked any women.
00:54:53Besides, who told Zoe?
00:54:56What's wrong, Adrian?
00:54:59Nothing.
00:55:00The novel says that in the end, because Stella couldn't win Adrian's affection,
00:55:04she turned to the dark side, choosing to genuinely cooperate with Julian and poison Adrian.
00:55:08That's how Adrian ended up dying a brutal death.
00:55:11If it comes down to it, Adrian can just use his looks.
00:55:14After all, life is more important than dignity, isn't it?
00:55:17Everything else is secondary.
00:55:18What did you say?
00:55:22I didn't say anything.
00:55:24Adrian's sneaking into my room in the middle of the night.
00:55:27Anyone who didn't know would think you're using important matters as an excuse to see me.
00:55:31I'm just curious, Zoe.
00:55:33You're so concerned about my safety.
00:55:35You haven't fallen in love with me, have you?
00:55:37What?
00:55:38Me in love with you?
00:55:40You're really full of yourself.
00:55:42Although you're excellent in every way, I'm not so bad myself.
00:55:49Adrian?
00:55:50He's a legend in the business world.
00:55:51Handsome, decisive, ruthless, rich, and powerful.
00:55:59So even if I did fall in love with you, it wouldn't be so strange, would it?
00:56:04Besides, which young lady in our circle wouldn't want to marry you?
00:56:07What about you?
00:56:11Me?
00:56:12Me what?
00:56:14Nothing.
00:56:15If what you said about this matter is true,
00:56:17then I owe you a favor.
00:56:19But don't interfere with this matter.
00:56:21Is this Grandma Frost?
00:56:37When the Frost family was in turmoil,
00:56:39she always firmly stood by Adrian's side.
00:56:42So during this crisis,
00:56:43she watched her favorite grandson die
00:56:45and couldn't pull through herself.
00:56:47What was that sound?
00:56:48Adrian will die and I'll be in trouble too.
00:56:50But I've already warned Adrian.
00:56:52As long as I can prevent this crisis from happening,
00:56:55Grandma Frost won't be harmed.
00:56:58This child.
00:56:58The Frost family's internal affairs she dares to meddle in.
00:57:02Zoe, be good and don't look around.
00:57:06Okay, Mom.
00:57:07That voice just now.
00:57:08It was her.
00:57:09This is the Lawson family's lost little girl.
00:57:12I can actually hear her inner thoughts.
00:57:14Is what she said true?
00:57:17Julian has brought a woman back.
00:57:22Here it comes.
00:57:23Today's main event is here.
00:57:33Grandma, this is the gift I prepared for you.
00:57:36I wish you endless blessings and a long life.
00:57:38Hello, Grandma.
00:57:40My name is Stella Shaw and I'm Julian's friend.
00:57:43This is Stella Shaw.
00:57:45She's certainly beautiful.
00:57:46Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.
00:57:48The book says she's the one who took advantage of Adrian and drugged his drink.
00:57:52What?
00:57:53Julian is usually so sloppy and cynical.
00:57:55Today he's actually dressed so properly.
00:57:58Could it be that he's ready to take over the position of power in the Frost family?
00:58:01A power grab.
00:58:05Drugging.
00:58:06A honey trap.
00:58:07Fine.
00:58:08Absolutely fine.
00:58:10Ten years ago, if Adrian hadn't shown me respect, Julian's disability would be more than just one leg.
00:58:16Stella.
00:58:17This is the current head of the Frost family.
00:58:20My cousin, Adrian.
00:58:22Adrian.
00:58:29Hello, Mr. Frost.
00:58:31I'm going to go upstairs to rest for a while.
00:58:58I'll go upstairs to rest for a while.
00:59:01Grandma, I'll take my leave now, too.
00:59:12Mom, I have something to do.
00:59:14Okay.
00:59:15Be careful.
00:59:22Adrian.
00:59:23Adrian.
00:59:26Adrian.
00:59:28Adrian.
00:59:28Adrian.
00:59:29Adrian.
00:59:31You've taken my knockout drops.
00:59:47In less than half an hour, you'll pass out.
00:59:50You're already as good as mine.
00:59:53You can't escape.
00:59:54Adrian doesn't think I did that on purpose, does he?
01:00:06But he was pretty good to kiss.
01:00:09It's just a shame he likes men.
01:00:11I don't know.
01:00:11I don't know.
01:00:12I don't know.
01:00:12I don't know.
01:00:13I don't know.
01:00:13I don't know.
01:00:14I don't know.
01:00:14I don't know.
01:00:15I don't know.
01:00:16I don't know.
01:00:16Doesn't he like men?
01:00:26The bedroom is safe.
01:00:27You just stay here.
01:00:29Wait for me.
01:00:29Don't go out.
01:00:30Grandma.
01:00:42Sign the share transfer agreement.
01:00:44Otherwise, you'll never see your precious grandson again.
01:00:47What do you mean?
01:00:49Adrian.
01:00:50What have you done to Adrian?
01:00:53Adrian was given a powerful knockout drug by Stella.
01:00:55He won't wake up for a while.
01:00:56He crippled my leg back then.
01:01:00Now I'll make him pay.
01:01:02You utterly unfilial brat.
01:01:04I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let Adrian spare you.
01:01:07It was my mistake.
01:01:09All my mistake.
01:01:11Enough with the chatter.
01:01:12Just sign it already.
01:01:15Grandma.
01:01:20You betrayed me.
01:01:22I didn't.
01:01:23How did you wake up so quickly?
01:01:24I knew about your plan all along.
01:01:28So I took the antidote beforehand.
01:01:29As for your knockout drops.
01:01:31To me, they cause no harm.
01:01:34Grandma.
01:01:36This time...
01:01:37I won't interfere with how you handle this.
01:01:40Whatever you decide, I'll support you.
01:01:42This is their deserved karma.
01:01:51Julian is suspected of white-collar crime.
01:01:53I've already handed all the evidence over to the police.
01:01:56As for Stella, she's suspected of illegal activities like gambling.
01:02:00She'll also be taken away by the police.
01:02:03Adrian.
01:02:03You just wait.
01:02:07Mom, Zoe, you're finally back!
01:02:09Ethan received Isabella's text and left.
01:02:12He still hasn't come back.
01:02:13Mom, I'll go find Ethan first.
01:02:15You get some rest.
01:02:18Go follow your sister quickly.
01:02:19Make sure she's safe.
01:02:21Okay.
01:02:21In the book, Ethan saved Isabella right here.
01:02:29To get her out, he was brutally beaten by many people
01:02:31and had to drive desperately to take her back.
01:02:34Then, as Isabella got out of the car,
01:02:37he saw a car speeding towards her.
01:02:39Ethan pushed Isabella away,
01:02:40causing him to get both legs broken.
01:02:43Sir.
01:02:44Bad news.
01:02:46Zoe went all by herself to save Ethan.
01:02:47What?
01:02:52Tell me.
01:02:53Will Ethan come to save her?
01:02:56Who knows?
01:02:57Isabella has been scared unconscious.
01:02:59The person behind all this
01:03:00really is willing to let such a beautiful woman suffer.
01:03:07Are you looking for me?
01:03:08Shh!
01:03:13Don't speak.
01:03:15It seems that Ethan really likes Isabella.
01:03:18Enough talk.
01:03:19Let them go now.
01:03:20If you want us to let them go, that's fine.
01:03:22As per the text message we sent,
01:03:23transfer $50 million to me,
01:03:25and this shared transfer agreement, sign it.
01:03:27Then Isabella will be yours.
01:03:29I can't believe it.
01:03:30Ethan, this lovesick fool, actually came.
01:03:32Don't worry.
01:03:35I won't fall for a woman who betrayed me.
01:03:38I won't be fooled.
01:03:42I won't give you the money.
01:03:43And I won't sign the share transfer agreement either.
01:03:46What about Isabella's life?
01:03:47Don't you care about it?
01:03:49Her life is for the police to manage.
01:03:52Today I'm just assisting the police
01:03:53in apprehending criminals.
01:03:54An enthusiastic citizen, that's all.
01:03:58Police!
01:03:59My brother really didn't disappoint me.
01:04:03Brother, let's go down and help quickly.
01:04:18Hey!
01:04:19Hurry, let's go.
01:04:22Adrian, why are you here?
01:04:24Ethan played along with their plan.
01:04:26He walked into their trap.
01:04:27Why did you come all alone?
01:04:30Aren't you just getting in the way?
01:04:32I was just too worried.
01:04:39Adrian?
01:04:41Adrian, you're hurt!
01:04:48Zoe, you're in for it now.
01:04:52Adrian, hold on!
01:04:53I'll take you to the hospital right away.
01:04:55I think...
01:04:58I've fallen for you.
01:05:01Adrian, please don't let anything happen to you.
01:05:04Didn't you say you wanted me to be responsible?
01:05:07I promise you now.
01:05:09Just don't be hurt.
01:05:10When did you wake up?
01:05:27While you were asleep.
01:05:30You're still laughing?
01:05:32Do you know how worried I was about you?
01:05:34After all, you saved me.
01:05:36That's why you got hurt.
01:05:37How could I not be worried about you?
01:05:40Is it just because I saved you?
01:05:44Sir, we've received news.
01:05:46Julian and Stella have been sentenced.
01:05:47They probably won't get out in this lifetime.
01:05:49Besides that, Isabella is suspected of staging and plotting a kidnapping.
01:05:53She's already been arrested.
01:05:59Zoe, I want some fruit.
01:06:01He's doing this on purpose, isn't he?
01:06:03Making me serve him.
01:06:04I don't know.
01:06:09Adrian, looking at me like that, you're not seriously falling for me, are you?
01:06:20What do you think?
01:06:24If I really liked you, what would you do?
01:06:29Adrian can't really like me, can he?
01:06:32But after I complete my mission, I have to go back.
01:06:35Complete your mission?
01:06:38Go back?
01:06:40Zoe, no matter who you are, I won't give you a chance to leave.
01:06:45Zoe, don't forget.
01:06:47You took advantage of me.
01:06:49You have to take responsibility for me.
01:06:50What should I do?
01:06:56Adrian is just so handsome.
01:06:57If I just go back like this, I really would be a little reluctant.
01:07:04Eat it yourself.
01:07:05I'm leaving now.
01:07:09Zoe.
01:07:10Victor, you'd better sign the papers.
01:07:13You're trying to divorce me again?
01:07:15Mom and that scumbag dad are going through a divorce.
01:07:20Divorce?
01:07:21No way.
01:07:23Victor, you're getting divorced today, whether you like it or not.
01:07:28Otherwise, I'll take everything about you and Chloe and reveal it all to the media.
01:07:32Catherine, don't push your luck.
01:07:34Release Chloe immediately.
01:07:36Otherwise, neither of us will have an easy time.
01:07:38If it weren't for you and your widowed sister-in-law and all the shady dealings you were up to,
01:07:42plus your shameless refusal to get divorced,
01:07:45why would I have to force your hand?
01:07:47Dad!
01:07:47Right now, I am the woman Adrian Frost has claimed.
01:07:53You must divorce, Mom.
01:07:54Otherwise, I'll have the Frost intervene.
01:07:56I'll make sure everyone in the business world now cuts ties with you.
01:07:59Then we'll see if your company goes bankrupt or not.
01:08:01You scoundrel.
01:08:04Stop wasting time.
01:08:06Sign it.
01:08:07Sign this divorce agreement and then take Chloe and Mia.
01:08:11Catherine!
01:08:12Don't go too far.
01:08:14The Lawson family company was founded by me.
01:08:16Give it all to you?
01:08:18Impossible.
01:08:18If it weren't for my family's help, how could you have started a company?
01:08:23If you push me too far...
01:08:25I won't even need the Frost to intervene.
01:08:27My Lin family can easily crush you.
01:08:29Don't be so ruthless.
01:08:45Don't forget I'm still the father of two sons.
01:08:47You should worry about your illegitimate son outside.
01:08:52I heard he owes a lot to loan sharks, waiting for you to clean up his mess.
01:08:57And your dear daughter.
01:08:59I doubt anyone would dare marry her now, right?
01:09:03I get it now.
01:09:04All of this, it was a trap you set, wasn't it?
01:09:07Catherine!
01:09:09You vicious woman!
01:09:11Don't touch my mom!
01:09:13And you!
01:09:14Get out!
01:09:14Take Chloe and get out now!
01:09:17Otherwise, I'll expose everything about you to the media.
01:09:21You'll regret this.
01:09:27Mom, don't get angry with them.
01:09:29You'll make yourself sick with anger, and it's not worth it.
01:09:33Mom's fine.
01:09:35Madame, Mia is crying and refusing to leave.
01:09:39Mom!
01:09:40I'm your daughter, raised by your own hand.
01:09:42Are you really going to abandon me?
01:09:44Don't call me mom.
01:09:46Your mom is Chloe.
01:09:47Didn't you know that already?
01:09:49How my daughter went missing back then.
01:09:52Didn't you know everything crystal clear?
01:09:54All these years you've used my money, eaten my food, lived under my roof.
01:09:58And I raised you to be a proper lady.
01:10:00But what about you?
01:10:01You plotted against my biological daughter.
01:10:04You're just like your parents, a bad seed.
01:10:09Mom!
01:10:09I beg you, you and Zoe, please just forgive me, okay?
01:10:13I really don't want to leave the Lawson family.
01:10:15If you let me go with dad, he'll definitely marry me off for money.
01:10:18Mom!
01:10:19I'm begging you.
01:10:20Mom!
01:10:22All of this is your own doing.
01:10:24If you had just been honest and not caused trouble, you could have peacefully remained the young lady.
01:10:30I've already done more than enough for you.
01:10:32Get her out of my sight.
01:10:33Mom!
01:10:35Mom!
01:10:35Mom!
01:10:36Mom!
01:10:37Mom!
01:10:39For the past two days, you've been taking care of Mr. Frost.
01:10:42Your eyes are all red from staying up.
01:10:46Go back and get some good rest.
01:10:54Gavin?
01:10:54What's the latest on Isabella?
01:10:56The White family pushed all the blame onto Isabella.
01:10:58As for Sean, he also used Isabella's name to stage the kidnapping.
01:11:04Facing prison time, Isabella went completely mad.
01:11:07When she ran out, she was hit by a car and died.
01:11:11Died?
01:11:14This is karma, I suppose.
01:11:16In the previous life in the book, my brother was hit by a car and died because of her.
01:11:19This time, she's reaping her own bitter harvest, suffering the consequences herself.
01:11:23Oh, right.
01:11:27Now everyone outside is saying you and Adrian are getting married.
01:11:31Who said that?
01:11:33I'm not marrying him.
01:11:35Just now, the Frost family sent the dowry.
01:11:37Adrian?
01:11:38Adrian, when did I agree to marry you?
01:11:41And you sent the dowry to my house.
01:11:43Now look, everyone knows I'm going to marry you.
01:11:46What's wrong?
01:11:47Am I not good enough for you?
01:11:49Zoe, I'm determined to have you.
01:11:51Even if we don't get married now, we'll get married eventually.
01:11:56Besides, I got hurt because of you.
01:12:00A life-saving favor should be repaid with marriage, right?
01:12:04You're shameless.
01:12:05Thanks for the compliment.
01:12:15However, there's something I need your help with.
01:12:19What is it?
01:12:21My scumbag dad's illegitimate son, Sean, didn't he run away?
01:12:25His existence is always a security risk.
01:12:28Can you help me find him?
01:12:31You're my future wife.
01:12:33Whatever my wife asks, I'll do.
01:12:35I'm at your command.
01:12:38Didn't they say Adrian was aloof and uninterested in women?
01:12:42Looking at him now, he's not aloof at all.
01:12:45Sir.
01:12:46What is it?
01:12:50So it turns out Adrian is only like this with me.
01:12:55This is something I got from the black market.
01:12:57A powerful aphrodisiac.
01:12:59I've checked.
01:13:00Adrian was just discharged today.
01:13:02He's at a bar right now, discussing business.
01:13:05You must seize this opportunity.
01:13:06Zoe, it's all because of you that I've become so miserable.
01:13:12I won't let you marry Adrian so easily.
01:13:15You also deserve to experience the taste of betrayal and abandonment.
01:13:18Just ten more minutes until the drug takes effect.
01:13:39Then you'll be mine.
01:13:40From now on, I'll be the young madam of the Frost family.
01:13:44As for that bitch Zoe, she'll forever be under my heel.
01:13:46Zoe, today's my first day out of the hospital and you didn't even come to see me?
01:14:13Mr. Frost?
01:14:16This is a powerful aphrodisiac.
01:14:20You can't resist it at all.
01:14:21So don't even think about any more pointless struggle.
01:14:25Mia, you dared to drug me?
01:14:28I wonder if Zoe will make it here in time.
01:14:31Mr. Frost, why don't you just marry me?
01:14:33I'm a hundred times better than that woman, Zoe.
01:14:42Zoe.
01:14:42Adrian!
01:14:45Damn it, just you wait.
01:14:48I'm coming to save you now.
01:14:53Adrian, where are you?
01:14:55Where do you think you're going?
01:14:57Let's go.
01:14:58Save it, Adrian.
01:15:01You've been drugged.
01:15:02You have no strength left.
01:15:04There's no way you can escape.
01:15:06Just surrender.
01:15:07You think you two are worthy?
01:15:10Didn't expect to run into Sean here.
01:15:13Zoe, if you don't get here soon, your husband will lose his innocence.
01:15:18I've endured so much already.
01:15:20I can't fall at the final hurdle.
01:15:23Sean.
01:15:23If you dare touch Adrian again, I'll kill you.
01:15:27You.
01:15:31Police.
01:15:32Stop.
01:15:33Run.
01:15:35Adrian, I'm here.
01:15:37I've come to save you.
01:15:49Adrian, are you alright?
01:15:51Do you really not need a doctor?
01:15:52These abs, this chest, these long legs.
01:16:00I'm willing to be your antidote.
01:16:01I'm willing to be your antidote.
01:16:09I'm willing to be your antidote.
01:16:22I'll use you to practice.
01:16:31It would be my honor.
01:16:52Not today.
01:17:01I have things to deal with today.
01:17:04With Sean arrested, that scumbag dad must be frantic.
01:17:07He'll definitely come home looking for trouble.
01:17:10I need to go home and stand up for my brothers and mom.
01:17:12Have you heard?
01:17:21Sean got arrested.
01:17:22Mia drugged Adrian and she got arrested too.
01:17:24I heard.
01:17:25And Zoe didn't come home all last night.
01:17:28What kind of drug do you think Adrian was given?
01:17:36Mia gave Adrian an aphrodisiac.
01:17:39Zoe spent the night with Adrian.
01:17:41That damn Adrian.
01:17:44What's wrong with you two?
01:17:49You two prepare Zoe's dowry.
01:17:51Although our family can't compare to the Frost's,
01:17:53we can't let outsiders look down on us.
01:17:56Or say that our Zoe has no backing.
01:17:59Alright mom.
01:18:00All my cars and properties transfer them all to Zoe's name.
01:18:03And the shares give them all to her too.
01:18:06Catherine.
01:18:07You woman.
01:18:08You actually sent Mia and Sean to prison?
01:18:11They brought it upon themselves.
01:18:14Was I the one who told them to drug Adrian?
01:18:16Was I the one who told them to ambush Adrian?
01:18:20Victor?
01:18:21I've already divorced you.
01:18:23Now take this woman and get out of my house.
01:18:25Otherwise I'll sue you for trespassing.
01:18:28Victor, we can't leave.
01:18:30Our children are still in prison.
01:18:31Catherine.
01:18:34Where's Zoe?
01:18:35As long as she speaks up, Adrian won't disagree.
01:18:38Dad, we kept quiet out of respect for you.
01:18:40All these years you've abused your position
01:18:41and secretly given Sean so much money.
01:18:43You even helped your illegitimate daughter
01:18:45harm your own biological daughter.
01:18:47Are you even human?
01:18:48Exactly.
01:18:49You still expect us to let the culprits go?
01:18:52Impossible.
01:18:53You two bastards.
01:18:54You only have your mother in your eyes, don't you?
01:18:57You two are only her sons, aren't you?
01:18:59Victor.
01:19:00Don't be sad.
01:19:02They don't care about you, but Sean does.
01:19:04Sean is your child too.
01:19:06You must find a way to get him out.
01:19:08Is he?
01:19:09Is Sean really?
01:19:10Is he?
01:19:12Is Sean really your son?
01:19:13This woman took the money you gave her
01:19:25and found other men outside.
01:19:27And your favorite son, Sean,
01:19:28is not your biological child at all.
01:19:31This?
01:19:32None of this is true.
01:19:34You bitch.
01:19:35You actually lied to me.
01:19:36In the book,
01:19:41Victor cheated and harmed mom and my brothers.
01:19:43In this life, Victor cheated,
01:19:44and in the end,
01:19:45he reaped what he sowed,
01:19:46losing everything.
01:19:47It's karma.
01:19:48Congratulations.
01:19:49You have successfully changed everyone's destiny.
01:19:51You can now return to the real world.
01:19:53Do I really have to leave?
01:19:54But I can't bear to.
01:19:56I can't bear to leave mom and my brothers.
01:19:58And I can't bear to leave Adrian either.
01:20:01Can I really not stay?
01:20:02If you wish to remain in the book world,
01:20:06you may.
01:20:07However, in that case,
01:20:08you will no longer have the chance
01:20:10to return to the real world.
01:20:11You'll have to live your entire life
01:20:12in this book world.
01:20:14Okay.
01:20:14I'm willing.
01:20:15I want to stay.
01:20:16I want to always be by their side.
01:20:18All right then.
01:20:19I wish you a pleasant life ahead.
01:20:21This system will now completely unbind from you.
01:20:28Adrian,
01:20:29let's get married.
01:20:30Okay.
01:20:32Okay.
