Short filmTranscript
00:00The blizzard apocalypse is here, sucker ball-sized hell is falling, pedestrians are crushed, blood everywhere.
00:05In my wedding dress, I'm tracking a cheater.
00:07Luckily, a billboard shooted me from the giant hell.
00:11I just found Cedric Joel and Vivian Sue plotting.
00:14They're planning my death to steal my wealth.
00:19Just as I went to expose them, doomsday struck.
00:23Back home, Cedric had my book of infinite supplies.
00:28They locked me out to freeze to death.
00:32I've returned to the day before the tragedy.
00:35Cedric knows nothing yet, I'm back for revenge.
00:40My phone said any piece.
00:41Babe, I can't wait for our wedding tomorrow.
00:45Seeing Cedric's sweet text, I smile and call.
00:48Honey, let's put a good nested in your name.
00:51The screen glows, hubby's message is pure poison.
00:57I'll get you tomorrow.
00:59You'll be a stunning bride.
01:02Coldness spread through me, freezing my blood.
01:05The hands that hugged me stole my book.
01:13They slammed evergreen estate store in my face.
01:19Outside, the apocalypse was freezing my soul.
01:22I froze in the snow, losing my baby.
01:29I saw Cedric and Vivian Sue being intimate.
01:33I wake to my ceiling, it's one month early.
01:38My heart pounds, I'm reborn, I'm back.
01:45Cedric, Vivian Sue and those two elders who killed my parents.
01:48In this life, I'll pay them back ten for blood for blood.
01:50And I'll collect it with interest.
01:52My hands are cold, but my grip is steady.
01:54I glare at his fake text, a cold smirk forming on my lips.
01:58Perfect, nothing has happened yet.
01:59My parents are alive.
02:00I touch my belly, a tiny life is still growing there.
02:03This time, mommy won't let anyone hurt you.
02:06I hide my rage, force a sweet tone and call Cedric Joe.
02:12He answers instantly, his voice sounding forced and tender.
02:15Hey babe, still up? Missing me already?
02:19I smirk silently, but sound needy and lobstruck.
02:23Yeah, sad, I just thought of something and counselling.
02:27Aww, what's on our little princess's mind so late?
02:31Soon, this quiet night sky will be buried in snow and dispair.
02:35I was thinking, I whisper, every word laced with venom.
02:39We're almost a family.
02:41I want to transfer my dad's massive dowry to you now.
02:44That's what real families do, right?
02:48Silence, I can picture his greed.
02:51When he speaks, his voice trembles with excitement.
02:59Babe, really? Is that okay? What about your parents?
03:05It's my money. I decide what to do with it.
03:07I tease him playfully, so my own acting makes me sick.
03:10It'll be ours anyway. Bring your ID tomorrow, and we'll start the paperwork.
03:16Okay babe, you're the best. I love you so much.
03:20I love you most, hubby.
03:21His breathing is heavy. My voice turns low and mysterious.
03:28The news says a blizzard is coming tomorrow, a big one.
03:32And what I didn't say, your day of death is coming too.
03:38Blizzard!
03:39Cedric froze, clearly caught off guard.
03:41But his mind was consumed by the joy of sudden wealth.
03:44He was dying to tell Vivian, yet couldn't let me notice.
03:47So he just matter some fake concern.
03:49He hung up soon after, clearly in patient.
03:51Likely off to share this windfall with his dear Vivian.
03:53The moment the call ended, my fake sweetness vanished instantly.
03:57Leaving only cold hatred and lethal resolve inside the evergreen essay bedroom.
04:01Without hesitation, I immediately called my father.
04:03It ran once before he answered, as if he'd been waiting.
04:06Hello?
04:08Angel, why aren't you asleep yet?
04:10Did that Cedric kid upset you again?
04:12My father's steady voice held a hint of worry.
04:15He's always been able to sense my slightest move shifts.
04:19Hearing his voice, a lump formed in my throat.
04:22Memories of them driving him to his bed flashed by.
04:26I bit my lip hard to suppress a sob.
04:29Dad, I tried to sound steady, but tension leaked through.
04:31Listen, what I'm about to say is my tone.
04:35You and Martha Ling must trust me and that's Mao.
04:37Dad fell silent, shocked by my unprecedented tone.
04:40But he responded immediately, without hesitation.
04:43Okay, tell me. I'm listening.
04:45This is my doting father.
04:47He always chooses to trust me, no matter what.
04:49I took a deep breath, speaking fast but clearly.
04:52First, hold all in global enterprises external investments.
04:54Convert all the good assets into gold and essentials.
04:57Second, fortify Aspen Manor to the highest standards immediately.
05:01It must resist extreme cold and impact.
05:02Install advanced energy systems and defenses.
05:05Third, secretly by the supplies from the list I'll send.
05:08Remember, it must be top secret.
05:09Use multiple channels.
05:10Don't draw attention.
05:11In my past life, Cedric could pull items from that book at will.
05:15But only what was listed in it.
05:17Items not in the book are unobtainable.
05:19With cold hatred, I continued.
05:22First, Dad, Cedric, his family and Vivian, they're planning to kill us all.
05:29Dad, Cedric, Joe, his family and that bestie Vivian Sue are trying to kill us and steal our fortune.
05:36I've made arrangements.
05:37He's coming tomorrow and I have a major performance ready for him.
05:40My father's breathing grew heavy.
05:41I heard him stand abruptly, his chair scraping harshly against the floor.
05:45Then, my mother's anxious voice drifted over.
05:48What is it, old George?
05:49Is Angel okay?
05:50My father's voice was deathly cold, laced with suppressed fury.
05:53Angel, are you sure?
05:54Dad, I saw it myself.
05:56If I hadn't found out early, we'd all be dead in a month.
05:59My voice trembled with the shock of a survivor.
06:02Trust me, I can't explain the details now, but we're running out of time.
06:05I understand.
06:06Her voice steadied with the iron resolve of a seasoned entrepreneur.
06:10Your mom is right here.
06:12Put it on speaker.
06:13We're both listening.
06:14Angel, we'll do whatever you say.
06:16Your safety is everything.
06:17My mother's tearful voice broke through.
06:19Angel, my baby.
06:21Are you hurt?
06:21How are you?
06:22Don't scare me.
06:24Mom, I'm fine.
06:25I'm safe.
06:26I reassured her.
06:27But we must act now.
06:28Help me play my part in this scheme.
06:30I detailed my plan to bait Cedric Joe with the evergreen estate.
06:34We'll use his greed to ruin him when he's most arrogant.
06:38My parents were horrified, especially hearing how Cedric and Vivian killed their unborn grandson.
06:44My mother was choking on tears.
06:45My father kept suppressing his roles of rage.
06:47Scum.
06:47They chose to support me fully.
06:49That night, over the phone, we finalized our plan for survival and revenge.
06:54After hanging up, I couldn't sleep at all.
06:56In the study, I searched for that vital encyclopedia from my memories hidden in an obscure low corner.
07:03In my past life, Cedric Joe triggered its secret function by accident while looking for a random file.
07:08I knelt down, fingers brushing spines, reading titles as my heartbeat thundered in the silence.
07:14Finally, my hand stopped on a sick encyclopedia with faded gold ledgering.
07:19Sunbeat.
07:24Plain, even worn and aged in appearance.
07:27I pull it out carefully.
07:28Heavy, as if carrying a past life's weight, opening the pages inside our normal prints, just like any encyclopedia.
07:36Only an ancient gilded bookmark adds mystery.
07:38I focus, sliding the bookmark across the item.
07:42But the page doesn't react just as I remembered.
07:45The book needs a master to open it.
07:47Cedric Joe opened it by accident last time.
07:49I'm reborn, but access isn't mine yet.
07:51He must open it.
07:54A cold smile plays on my lips.
07:56No matter, this is better.
07:57I'll set the stage for his accidental discovery.
08:02Except this time, I write the script.
08:04I listed all the supplies from the book.
08:06Then I compared it to my own list.
08:09The extras are what George Lin must prepare.
08:12I replaced the bookmark and returned the book.
08:17I made sure it looked completely untouched.
08:20Next morning, sunlight streams through the curtains.
08:23Last night's plan feels like a distant nightmare.
08:26But I know it was real.
08:27A text from Cedric Joe pops up impatient.
08:31Babe, you awake?
08:32Can't wait to see you.
08:33Got all the IDs ready.
08:35Wait for me.
08:35Followed my ugly kiss emoji.
08:37Expressionless, I reply with a shy emoji.
08:39I dress up in sweet makeup and my custom doll.
08:44The image of a blissful unsuspecting bride.
08:47Waiting for the land to be slaughtered.
08:49The doorbell rings earlier than expected.
08:52I see Cedric Joe, well dressed and full of greed.
08:56Holding a bunch of golden red roses.
08:59She's here.
09:01Beatrice Jones followed close behind him.
09:02That spiteful woman forcing a loving smile.
09:05I inhaled deeply.
09:07Instantly wearing a bright innocent smile.
09:09I opened the door.
09:10Said, Auntie, you're here so early.
09:12My voice was cloylessly.
09:13I stepped aside for them.
09:14As Cedric Joe entered, his eyes scanned the room.
09:16Fix it on the valuables.
09:18But he quickly hid it.
09:19He handed me the flowers.
09:20Trying to embrace me.
09:21Baby, I missed you.
09:22I couldn't sleep after what you said.
09:25I deftly dodged his hand.
09:26I took the flowers.
09:27My smile remained fixed.
09:28I didn't sleep either.
09:28Just thinking of our future home.
09:31Auntie, please, sit.
09:32Beatrice Jones took my hand, feigning kin.
09:34Oh, Sarah.
09:35You're almost a bride now.
09:37Why be so formal?
09:38Call me mom.
09:39Her eyes scanned the room like searchlights.
09:41Where are your parents?
09:42Not home for something this bi-
09:43They had a crisis at the office.
09:45They left early.
09:46My parents had moved fast since dawn.
09:47First, recalling Ling Global Enterprises funds.
09:50Mother Ling used wedding prep as a cover.
09:52She bought supplies from bulk stores and outdoor shops.
09:57The Aston Ridge crew was ready.
09:59Cleaning renovations for Evergreen Estate.
10:01The first team arrives this afternoon.
10:03Using top grade insulation and protection.
10:06Preparations have begun.
10:07Now, my performance begins.
10:08I poured water, acting relaxed.
10:10But it's fine.
10:11I can handle the transfer myself.
10:13My assets are mine to use.
10:15No need to involve them.
10:17The papers are ready.
10:19Sajid and Beatrice shared a greedy look.
10:22Oh, we really shouldn't.
10:24Beatrice feigned the refusal.
10:25Yet her hands you up impatiently.
10:27Auntie, we're family now.
10:28I smiled, pulling out the folder.
10:31Honey, look at this first.
10:33By the way, since you're here.
10:34Could you help me out?
10:35Dad can't find the Evergreen Estate part maps.
10:39I think they're on the bottom shelf.
10:41My dress makes it hard to bend.
10:42Could you find them for me?
10:43They're inside a thick old book.
10:46I spoke naturally, with a hint of playfulness, pointing toward the study.
10:50Sajid Joe, dazed by the sudden windfall, was completely under my spell.
10:54Finding a file was a trivial request.
10:55He muttered instantly.
10:56Okay babe, wait here.
10:58I'll go look.
10:58He headed to the study, while I sat with Beatrice Joe, pretending to review files.
11:02I answered her scheming questions about Evergreen Estate and seatings.
11:05But my ears were pricked for any sound from the study.
11:08Minutes passed.
11:09Then, a sharp gasp, followed by the heavy sack of books hitting the floor.
11:16It's time.
11:17I stood up immediately, faking surprise and concern.
11:20What happened honey? Are you okay?
11:22I rushed in and found Sajid Joe.
11:23Timed under a pile of books.
11:25In the corner, the Encyclopedia gave a faint, subtle glow.
11:28It had been activated.
11:29Sajid noticed it and reached out.
11:30But I quickly blocked his path, grabbing his arm with a worried look.
11:38Sajid, are you alright?
11:39Did you hurt yourself?
11:41Interrupted, Sajid Joe didn't overthink it, assuming the phone made him hallucinate.
11:45As I pulled him up, he looked dazed.
11:47He glanced at the books, specifically the Encyclopedia.
11:49The strange sensation he'd found vanished after my interruption.
11:52Now, it looked ordinary then.
11:57I'm fine.
11:59He rubbed his bruised temple and dismissed his doubts.
12:01His mind snapped back to the massive fortune awaiting him, and he forced a smile.
12:05I just tripped and knocked some books over.
12:08Babe, I couldn't find the blueprints.
12:11Maybe...
12:11He's fine.
12:12I cut him off quickly, fearing he'd look at that book again.
12:15I might have misremembered.
12:17Dad said, they might be at his office.
12:19Forget that for now.
12:20The phones are ready.
12:21Let's focus on the business at hand.
12:22I let him back to the living room.
12:23Beatrice Joe stood out eagerly.
12:25Yes, exactly.
12:26That's what's important.
12:27We can deal with trifles later.
12:28Sajid Joe's focus shifted completely, blended by greed.
12:31He had no idea what a massive opportunity he had just missed.
12:37The rest went smoothly.
12:38With my love-struck persistence, we soon reached the registry.
12:43Witnessed by a lawyer, Evergreen Estate and the massive savings were legally gifted to Cedric Joe.
12:52Cedric's hand trembled with excitement as he saw.
12:56He and Beatrice Joe exchanged looks of pure smug ecstasy.
13:00They likely thought my family were fools in their hands.
13:04Hidden from their sight, I slowly smirk.
13:07Take it all.
13:08These gains will eventually become your news.
13:12Afterward, they treated me like treasure, falling over me.
13:16Beatrice Joe called me dear Dodger-Elo, promising a huge wedding after the blizzard.
13:23Masking my disgust, I played along with a naive smile.
13:27Honey, Beatrice, their joy made me sick.
13:29But I suppressed it to make my request.
13:33Since it's official, why not move into Evergreen Estate?
13:36It's our home now, and safer for the blizzard.
13:44This was their dream, they wouldn't refuse.
13:47Cedric Joe nodded eagerly.
13:49Yes, baby.
13:49You're right.
13:50I'll pack and move in today.
13:52He was dying to act as master of Evergreen Estate.
13:56Menhe, I smiled sweetly.
13:57I'll wait.
13:58Let's invite Vivian Su to celebrate.
14:00It's safer for her to be with us.
14:02She's my only friend.
14:06I mentioned Vivian Su to watch them.
14:08Cedric Joe froze, then Greed took over.
14:11He thought I was an idiot and lightly fantasized about being with his mistress in my villa.
14:23Beatrice was stunned.
14:24Then a sharp glint flickered.
14:26She felt this secured her control over Cedric and me.
14:28She might even score some perks for Viv.
14:30After some polite refusals, she readily agreed.
14:33Oh, Viv has had a hard time.
14:35It's fine to invite her along.
14:37Our angel is truly loyal.
14:39I sneered inwardly.
14:40Generous.
14:40I want you all to die together.
14:42I saw the jubilant Joseph.
14:43My smile instantly froze.
14:45I returned to Evergreen Estate.
14:47Knocked the doors.
14:48I used my encrypted phone to call Dad.
14:49Dad.
14:50They took the bait.
14:51They're moving soon.
14:52Viv is coming too.
14:53Understood.
14:54His voice was cold and steady.
14:56Work at the Aspen Sanctuary has begun.
14:57Bear no expense.
14:58Triple shifts.
14:59Fast track, reinforcement and supplies.
15:01Martha's first supply batch is en route.
15:04Be careful on your end.
15:06Stay in touch.
15:07I will.
15:08Dad.
15:08He triggered the book without realizing it.
15:11Next step.
15:12Proceed as planned.
15:13Let him find the secret.
15:14Drive him to madness.
15:15Then shatter his hopes.
15:17We just prepare slowly.
15:18Stockpiling items off the list is key.
15:21Dad paused.
15:22His voice turned lethal.
15:23And jaw.
15:24Remember.
15:25Higher they rise.
15:26Harder they fall.
15:27I understand.
15:27We reviewed the supply progress in detail.
15:30After a long secret talk.
15:31We hung up.
15:32Afternoon.
15:32Cedric moved in with all his luggage.
15:35Right behind him came.
15:36A meticulously drawn.
15:38Reserved looking.
15:38But ambitious.
15:39Vivian Su.
15:40Sarah.
15:41You're the best.
15:42Thinking of me.
15:43During this.
15:44I knew I could count on you.
15:46Viv wore a tight purple dress.
15:48Sweet voice.
15:49Yet she eyed the place like prey.
15:51Scanning the estate's luxury.
15:52Her poise.
15:53As if she already owned the place.
15:55Nauseous searched within me.
15:56But I smiled innocently.
15:57No need for formalities.
15:59We are family.
15:59My parents see you as their home.
16:01Don't be shy.
16:02How mean?
16:02Sarah always braises you.
16:04So beautiful and smug.
16:05Who knows which lucky man will win you.
16:09Cedric quickly snooped things over to hide his awkwardness.
16:11Exactly Viv.
16:12Don't be polite.
16:14Sarah is so kind.
16:15She'd never forget you now.
16:17Smiling.
16:17I settled Vivian into a guest room right next to the master bedroom.
16:20This thrilled Cedric.
16:21And made Vivian feel even more entitled.
16:24That night.
16:25I personally cooked a lavish dinner.
16:27I even opened expensive wine to celebrate our new beginning.
16:30They flirted right before me.
16:32Barely hiding their thrill over the secret and the fortune to come.
16:36I just kept pouring wine and whispering sweet, foolish things.
16:40After a few rounds, a tipsy Cedric became quite talkative.
16:43In an eerie harmony, the two were lost in their joy and future dreams.
16:49With a few extra drinks, they began to lose their composure.
16:52Sarah, don't worry.
16:53I'll make sure you live better than anyone else in this house.
16:56Cedric boasted, his eyes drifting to Vivian, who responded with a coy smile.
17:00Truly Sarah, you are so lucky to have found a man as wonderful as Seth.
17:04Vivian feigned flattery while her fingers grazed the back of Cedric's hand.
17:08I acted oblivious, putting on a shy, happy expert.
17:11Mm-hmm.
17:11I believe in you, Seth.
17:13Honey, the forecast says the snow will be heavy and long.
17:16Should we stock up?
17:16I'm worried.
17:20I successfully shifted the topic to stockpiling supplies.
17:24Feeling high and mighty, Cedric waved his hand dismissively.
17:26Don't worry, babe.
17:27We're rich now.
17:28Tomorrow, we'll buy all the stores.
17:30I'll show you what I can do.
17:32He clearly already viewed my fortune as his own.
17:35Vivian chanting as well.
17:37That's right, Sarah.
17:38You're too cautious, though it's never bad to be prepared.
17:43She was calculating how long those supplies would last her and Cedric.
17:46I sneered inwardly, but nodded along.
17:49Vivian is right.
17:50Less although tomorrow, the more help, the better.
17:54Deal.
17:54Cedric agreed, as the two secretly touched fingers behind my back.
17:59I looked away.
18:00Phase one complete.
18:01Now, the performance begins.
18:02The next day, skies turned gray.
18:04Temperatures plummeted.
18:05Rare cold wave warnings hit the news.
18:07Most people didn't care.
18:09Just a bigger snowstorm.
18:11Cedric Zhou drove Vivian Su and me to the warehouse club.
18:14He acted like a nouveau riche, grabbing everything inside.
18:17Especially pricing imports and wine.
18:19It wasn't survival prep.
18:21It was conspicuous consumption.
18:23Vivian Su followed him, cooing and pointing.
18:25Picking fancy, bulky non-essentials clearly for her own vanity and pleasure.
18:30I watched coldly, occasionally offering naive reminder.
18:33Honey, shouldn't we get staples like flour, oil, water and medicine?
18:38Cedric Zhou was enjoying his spring.
18:41He was annoyed by my boring suggestion.
18:42But with his new wealth, he tossed some in.
18:46I noted everything vital they missed.
18:48Food, water, mats, vitamins, fuel, batteries, winter gear, tools, seeds.
18:55Essentials missing from the book.
18:57My father is secretly hoarding.
18:59The total was staggering.
19:02Cedric Zhou swight without blinking.
19:03Using a card from my saving, he looked smugly in control.
19:06A mountain of supplies loaded onto my truck.
19:09Cedric and Vivian were triumphant back at Evergreen Day, ordering workers to fill the rooms.
19:14Cedric Zhou's ego was stroked.
19:16He held Vivian Su, flaunting his status before me.
19:20Baby with me, there's nothing to fear.
19:23He said smugly.
19:23I nodded, smiling, counting down the time.
19:26Father sent an encrypted message.
19:27The Aspen sanctuary reinforcements are moving fast.
19:29Supplies are flowing in via secret channels.
19:31Missing essentials are being restocked.
19:34Signs of the Blizzard grew clear.
19:36The sky darkened like twilight.
19:37Snowflakes began to fall.
19:39Night.
19:39Cedric and Vivian lingered in the garage.
19:42Through the window, I saw them kissing by the crates.
19:46Impatiently, Cedric's hand was already under Vivian's clothes.
19:51I silently returned to the study.
19:52I rechecked the encyclopedia's position.
19:54Ensuring it still looked like a discarded old book.
19:57Then I produced a small odorless potion.
20:00Potent sleeping powder jodeling obtained privately.
20:02I carefully mixed it into Ced and Viv's milk.
20:05Exhausting day, wasn't it?
20:07Milk helps with sleep.
20:08Tomorrow's weather looks worse.
20:09We might be snowed in.
20:10I thoughtfully handed them the milk.
20:12They suspected nothing.
20:13Likely lost in their twisted fantasies.
20:15They drank it right down.
20:17It kicked in within 30 minutes.
20:18Both soon fell into a deep sleep.
20:20Gloved, I silently slipped into the study.
20:22I didn't touch the encyclopedia.
20:24Instead, I carefully removed the gilded bookmark.
20:28Replacing it with a common meta look-alike.
20:31The real key felt icy in my hand.
20:34All done.
20:35I erased every trick.
20:36I retreated to my room.
20:37I slept alone, setting family time.
20:41Avoiding Cedric Jo's bed door locked.
20:43The next morning, the world was covered in quiet.
20:46The snow intensified.
20:46No sign of stopping.
20:47The signal started to waver.
20:49News reported gridlock and power shortages.
20:52Panic began to spread.
20:54Cedric Jo and Vivian Su woke, still groggy from the sleeping pills.
20:56They realized things were getting serious.
20:59The snow is too heavy.
21:01Cedric Jo muttered.
21:03Vivian Su leaned in.
21:04Frightened.
21:05Seedy, enough supplies.
21:06Relax, we have a year's worth.
21:08Cedric Jo stayed calm.
21:09Boasting of yesterday's home.
21:11At breakfast, I spoke with faint concern.
21:13Happy.
21:13News says blackouts are everywhere.
21:15Evergreen SP is fine.
21:16But still, death might be cut too.
21:18Should we find a solution?
21:20Cedric Jo frowned.
21:21That is a problem.
21:22Evergreen estate has a generator, but fuel is limited.
21:25He instinctively looked around, glancing toward the study.
21:27Suddenly, he remembered something.
21:29Oh.
21:29He stood up abruptly.
21:30That book pile had a survival encyclopedia.
21:36It might have the answer.
21:37The fish is finally biting.
21:41I sneered inwardly, but I looked surprised and adoring.
21:44Really?
21:45Honey, you're amazing.
21:46Go find it.
21:46Cedric Jo headed to the study.
21:48Vivian Su followed him curiously.
21:49I followed slowly behind, to witness this scene myself.
21:53Cedric searched the bottom shelf.
21:54He pulled out the universal encyclopedia.
21:56He flipped pages urgently.
21:58He muttered.
21:59I saw it yesterday.
22:01I can't be wrong.
22:02At the solar pile page, he brushed the illustration.
22:05Right where my fake bookmark was.
22:08Nothing happened.
22:09Cedric froze.
22:10He hurried to the bezel generator page.
22:12He touched it again.
22:13The page stayed silent.
22:14Lonely action.
22:15What's happening?
22:16Cedric muttered anxiously.
22:17Yesterday, I felt it.
22:19Vivian watched him confused.
22:20See, what's wrong?
22:21An old book is useless.
22:23Sled beaded on Cedric's forehead.
22:24He rubbed the pages repeatedly.
22:26Even the plain bookmark grew slightly warm.
22:28He didn't quit.
22:30He checked the food and heating chapters.
22:31But the pages remained cold.
22:33Static print.
22:35Not even a dreamer.
22:36Impossible.
22:37He whispered.
22:38His eyes were panicked.
22:39I clearly felt it yesterday.
22:41Something was here.
22:42He pointed to the corner.
22:44A small crease from yesterday remained.
22:46Vivian grew impatient.
22:47She took his off.
22:49Said.
22:50Did that book base you?
22:51A junk book is useless.
22:52We still have supplies.
22:54We'll just be careful.
22:55She glanced at the half full shows.
22:57She sounded slightly resentful.
22:59Thinking Cedric was unreliable.
23:01Should've hoarded luxuries instead.
23:03I grabbed Cedric's hand.
23:04Acting worried.
23:06Honey.
23:06Don't worry.
23:07Are you misremembering?
23:08Maybe.
23:08It's just a normal book.
23:10It's okay.
23:10We could ask management.
23:12Or call for repairs.
23:14My words.
23:15Making Cedric panic more.
23:16He shot my hand away.
23:17A dark look across his eyes.
23:18I'm not wrong.
23:19I clearly saw light yesterday.
23:21Something is wrong.
23:22He mouthed.
23:23Frantically searching other books.
23:27Pulling them out.
23:28Tossing them aside.
23:29Pages scattered everywhere.
23:30Even my carefully placed the pipeline diagrams were unearthed.
23:33The study was a mess.
23:34Cedric frantically tore out every book on the bottom shelf.
23:37He kept muttering constantly.
23:38Impossible.
23:39It must be here.
23:39Vivian's impatience slowly gave way to a hint of unease.
23:43She watched Cedric's near manic state.
23:44Then saw the snow deepening outside.
23:46She instinctively hugged her arms.
23:47I watched his pathetic rage with cold indifference.
23:50Counting down the time.
23:51The drugs should have worn off.
23:52His clarity and anxiety are exactly what I need.
23:55Honey.
23:55Stop.
23:56You are scaring me.
23:57I acted terrified.
23:58Right on cue.
23:58My voice was trembling.
23:59Stepping back twice.
24:00As if frightened by his appearance.
24:01My reaction seemed to trigger Cedric.
24:03He stopped abruptly.
24:04Panting heavily.
24:05Glaring with bloodshot eyes.
24:06Or looking through me at something he couldn't accept.
24:08His premonition was so strong.
24:10This old book was special.
24:11The spark and glimmer weren't illusions.
24:14Why isn't it working today?
24:15Wrong method.
24:15Or missing some condition.
24:17He glared fixedly at the encyclopedia.
24:19Trying to burn it with his gaze.
24:21Said.
24:22Forget it.
24:22Vivian stepped forward to soothe him.
24:24Her voice held a hint of hidden contempt.
24:25Maybe it was a hallucination.
24:26We have evergreen estate.
24:28Money.
24:28And supplies to last us long.
24:30Once the snow stops.
24:31Everything will be fine.
24:32Her words acted like cold water.
24:33Damping some of Cedric's madness.
24:34But fueling his vanity instead.
24:36Right.
24:36He owes evergreen estate.
24:38Wealth.
24:39And mountains of supplies.
24:40Without the book.
24:41Cedric is still among the elite.
24:44And I.
24:44The fool.
24:45Have handed him.
24:46Everything.
24:46Thinking this.
24:47He slowly began to calm down.
24:48But the obsession didn't leave his eyes.
24:51Instead.
24:51It was buried like a seed.
24:53Vivian pulled Cedric to his feet.
24:54Yet he still stared fixedly.
24:56At the encyclopedia.
24:57His trance was still hidden heaven.
24:58How could he accept it?
24:59One moment a secret doomsday weapon.
25:01The next.
25:02Just scrap metal.
25:04Who suddenly weeped around to me.
25:05Suspicion flickered in his eyes.
25:07Sarah.
25:08Did you touch this book yesterday?
25:12I sneered inside.
25:14But faint heart look.
25:15My eyes reddening.
25:16Honey.
25:17How could you ask me that?
25:18I didn't even go near the shelf.
25:19Except for that file.
25:21Are you blaming me just because the book is useless?
25:23I bite my lip.
25:25Looking completely heartbroken.
25:27Hearing the noise.
25:28Beatrice Joe rushes in.
25:29And frowns at the mess.
25:32What's going on?
25:32Why is the study in such a state?
25:34Vivian Sue speaks first.
25:36Sounding annoying.
25:37Beatrice Cedric.
25:38Joe is acting crazy over an old encyclopedia.
25:40He says it glowed yesterday.
25:41But now it's worthless.
25:43He even thinks Sarah tempered with it.
25:44Beatrice glances between us.
25:46Then tries to suit Cedric.
25:48Sad.
25:49You're just stressed.
25:50This weather is making us all jumpy.
25:52Books don't glow.
25:53You must have been seeing things.
25:55We have evergreen estate, savings, and plenty of supplies.
25:59We can last a long time, even without power.
26:02Stop overthinking it.
26:03Cedric ignores her, staring at me with paranoid intensity.
26:07I'm not crazy.
26:08I saw it yesterday.
26:09Sarah, think.
26:10Did you really not touch this book?
26:13Tears well up as I respond with a trembling, hurt voice.
26:18Ced.
26:19How could you think that of me?
26:20I was with Beatrice all day.
26:22Then I prepared the papers.
26:24Why would I touch your book?
26:25What's so special about it?
26:27Is it more important than our love?
26:28I play the love brain card to prove my innocence.
26:32Beatrice tries to fix things, fearing they'll lose me.
26:35She pulls Ced aside.
26:37Enough, Ced.
26:38Don't take your anger out on Sarah.
26:40It's just a book.
26:40If it's gone, it's gone.
26:42Food and supplies are what matter now.
26:44Don't scare Sarah.
26:45We've been so chasing with a concern.
26:47She's right, Ced.
26:48Beatrice is right.
26:48You're just under too much pressure.
26:49Cedric has given you everything.
26:51Why would you mess with your book?
26:54She sounds like she's defending me, but she's really hinting to Ced that I'm worthless and
26:58not worth his ender.
27:00Seeing me tearful and wronged, Ced remembered I'm totally dependent on him.
27:04He's suspicious, but a strange, restless anxiety remained.
27:10Frustrated, he said nothing more.
27:11He just scowled, kicked a book on the floor, and stormed out of the study.
27:16It's okay, Sarah.
27:17Ced is just too stressed.
27:19Beatrice feigned comfort, but her eyes kept darting toward the supplies piled in the living
27:22room.
27:23Vivian followed Ced out, whispering to him, likely trying to calm him down further.
27:26I lowered my head, hiding a cold smile.
27:29The seas of doubt are sown, but greed will mask their unease.
27:32That window of time is exactly what I need.
27:34Over the next two days, the blizzard intensified, turning the world into a vast, silent expanse
27:39of white.
27:40TV signals cut out completely.
27:42Internet was spotting, and phone calls rarely went through.
27:44Evergreen estate had rolling blackouts.
27:46The deck-up generator kicked in, but it's got some fuel.
27:49Ced tried buying fuel, but communication was hard.
27:51Even when he got through, transport was impossible, and prices were sky-high.
27:55The cold and the fear of isolation began to moat everyone.
27:58Ced grew increasingly frantic.
27:59He spent hours in his study, obsessively stroking that encyclopedia, even trying to drop blood
28:04on it, but nothing happened.
28:07The cold pageant seemed to sullenly mock his futile efforts.
28:10Viv's confidence wavered.
28:12She began nitpicking supplies, complaining about the cold, and even snapping at Ced for being
28:15unprepared.
28:17Under the pressure of the apocalypse, the veil of your hollow sweetness began to tear.
28:22I watched coldly, secretly staying in touch with my parents via an encrypted satellite phone.
28:28Reinforcements at the Aspen Century are done.
28:30The basement is now a full survival space with air filtration and independent heating.
28:34Using his last logistics ties, Dad secretly shipped the missing essentials from my list.
28:40Antibiotics, prescriptions, first aid, seats, and thermal gear, to the Aspen Century.
28:47We're just waiting for the right moment.
28:50Soon, that moment arrived.
28:53Fifth day of the blizzard, Evergreen estate lost all power.
28:56The backup generator's fuel is gone.
28:57The cold engulfed every room.
28:59Cold, so-called live wraps and blankets, lids purple.
29:02Her elegance has vanished.
29:04Maitre's Joe shivers on the sofa.
29:07Cedric rushes out, livid, yelling.
29:09The fuel, is there any spare fuel?
29:11Why did the generator stop-
29:13I huddle, faking a tremor.
29:15No, none left.
29:17You said fuel was risky, so we barely bought any.
29:20My fault for not reminding you, I shift the blame onto him.
29:23Cedric flutters, recalling his luxury speed.
29:28He erupts in rage.
29:29What's the use of that now?
29:31Now what?
29:31We'll freeze to death.
29:33A test flickers onto his phone.
29:36A friend mentions fuel at the underbelly.
29:38But the price is astronomical.
29:40Must be picked up in person.
29:41Extremely risky.
29:41Central groups the phone.
29:43Knuckles wiped.
29:44The underbelly is across town.
29:46The blazer has blocked all roads.
29:47Driving there is suicide.
29:48But without fuel-
29:49Evergreen estate is an icebox.
29:50They won't last long.
29:54Go! We must!
29:55Beatrice wrapped in a blanket.
29:56Spoke with trembling but undeniable greed.
29:58Something is better than nothing.
29:59With fuel, we can survive until the snow stops.
30:01Silien Su nodded quickly.
30:03Her eyes filled with terror.
30:04Said, just go.
30:05Let me come.
30:06We'll be fine if we're careful.
30:07In this apocalypse, they've stopped pretending.
30:08Cedric looked at me with commanding eyes.
30:10Stay home and guard the supplies.
30:12Beatrice's eyes flashed with sweetness.
30:14She glanced at Vivian and spoke coldly.
30:15I'm going too.
30:16There's strength in numbers.
30:17Sarah is pregnant.
30:18She should stay here and keep watch.
30:20I knew she didn't distrust Cedric, but rather Vivian.
30:23She feared Vivian would manipulate Cedric into abandoning her to enjoy themselves.
30:27Cedric frowned by the greed, telling me to use supplies sparingly before leaving.
30:31I nodded submissively while a cold light flashed in my eyes.
30:35Once they laughed, I used the encrypted satellite phone to call father.
30:38They're at the underbelly for fuel.
30:40Start the plan.
30:44Father's voice is steady.
30:45Good.
30:46The Aspen sanctuary is all ready.
30:48Stay safe.
30:49We'll get you.
30:49As planned.
30:51I hung up.
30:51Starting my final check.
30:52A tedious leaking gas in the evergreeny state vents.
30:55A low dose, but effective in cold and anxiety.
30:58I also put trackers in Cedric and Vivian's bags.
31:01Every move they make is under our control.
31:03Three hours later.
31:04Cedric and the others returned.
31:05Existed.
31:06It took forever to unsteak the car.
31:07They only got a small fuel tent.
31:09Enough for the generator for hours.
31:10Damn it.
31:11Those people are daylight robbers.
31:12Cedric slammed the fuel tent down.
31:14A few drops splashed out.
31:15Vivian cried from the cold.
31:16Complaining about the dangerous roads.
31:17Beatrice drove wide about the fuel's cost.
31:19The three argued incessantly.
31:20I served the hot soup I prepared.
31:22Drink some soup to warm up.
31:24Stop arguing.
31:24We need to stick together.
31:25They were starving and freezing too.
31:27They got done the soup.
31:28Good.
31:29You're useful now.
31:30Well, we were out.
31:31Hope you didn't waste resources.
31:32Cedric is truly disgusting and cold blooded.
31:35Even with me pregnant.
31:36He only cares about himself.
31:38Not my survival.
31:39Pity.
31:40None of it matters now.
31:41He can rot in Evergreen Estate.
31:43With his precious interests.
31:47Soon, the gas and the sedative in the soup took effect.
31:51The three grew drowned.
31:52Once they slept.
31:53I packed and took the real bookmark.
31:56I opened Evergreen Estate's back door.
31:59Snow fell as the wind cut like a knife.
32:02But I felt incredibly relieved.
32:03Far off.
32:04Father's convoy had arrived.
32:05Headlights showed like warm stars.
32:07I trudged through the deep snow toward the convoy.
32:11The door opened and mother's tearful voice called out.
32:14Angel.
32:15My child.
32:16She hugged me tight.
32:17I felt her trembling through her thick coat.
32:20It was pure worry and fear.
32:22Father patted my back.
32:23Steady.
32:24But clearly concerned.
32:25You're safe now.
32:26Get in.
32:27It's too cold.
32:28I nodded.
32:29I climbed into the warmth.
32:30Through the window.
32:30I looked back at Evergreen Estate.
32:32It stood like a silent beast in the blizzard.
32:34Inside.
32:35Three people would soon pay for their greed and cruelty.
32:38The car starts slowly.
32:39Drining toward the Aspen Century.
32:41Snowy scenery rushes past.
32:43Like my sunburned past life.
32:44The combo jump for two hours.
32:46Reached the Aspen Century.
32:47This was a private estate that 40 years ago.
32:49Fortified of two days of non-stop work.
32:51It's not so a doomsday fortress.
32:53Heavy elevator doors slowly open.
32:55Bread will need inside.
32:56War may agree to us.
32:59Go warm up and eat.
33:00We'll talk late.
33:04Dasa leading me inside.
33:05I sit on the soft sofa.
33:07Jinking mom's hot ginger tea.
33:09The chill slowly fades.
33:10Pan's nerves finally relax.
33:12Mom sits beside me.
33:13Holding my hand.
33:13Ice ray.
33:14Our fault for missing Cedric's true face.
33:16You suffered so much.
33:18Mom.
33:19Don't blame yourself.
33:20I was blinded by love.
33:22I pet mom's hand gently.
33:23It's over.
33:24We're together now.
33:25We'll be fine.
33:27Dances on the chair opposite.
33:29Friends letting.
33:29Monitors show Cedric raging at Evergreen Estate.
33:32Mom added.
33:33Looting started at the underbelly.
33:35It's becoming unstable.
33:41I put on my tea.
33:42My gaze turns cold.
33:46Let them fight.
33:47Let them stay at Evergreen Estate.
33:49Once we are ready.
33:50We will settle the score.
33:52Dad.
33:52Most importantly.
33:53Do we have the supplies not listed in the Encyclopedia?
33:56Don't worry.
33:57Everything is ready.
33:57Father hands me a list.
33:59Antibiotics.
34:00Mass.
34:00First aid.
34:01The climate-controlled basement is all organized.
34:04Everything is categorized for easy access.
34:06I'm not sure.
34:06I carefully pulled out the Encyclopedia and my hidden ancient bookmark.
34:10Glowing softly.
34:13Dad.
34:13Let's try it.
34:14I tried it twice at Evergreen Estate.
34:16It's amazing.
34:17Hearing this.
34:17My parents look curious.
34:19To be safe.
34:20They also prepared extra food and supplies from the Encyclopedia.
34:32I swept the bookmark over the olive oil on the page.
34:34Chanting 10 liters.
34:36After a golden glow, a 10-liter bottle appeared at my feet.
34:41Wow.
34:42It works.
34:43Incredible.
34:44Mom picked up the bottle, examined it, and even sniffed it, marveling in disbelief.
34:48Such a treasure exists in this world.
34:51Miraculous indeed.
34:52If it fell into the wrong hands, it would cause chaos.
34:55Father always considers every angle.
34:58I comforted him softly.
34:59Dad.
34:59We have it now.
35:00So nothing will go wrong.
35:02We just need to extract our supplies slowly.
35:06Father nodded.
35:07We went to the warehouse to restock according to our list.
35:10Soon, the warehouse was packed, and my heart was filled with a sense of security.
35:16Now, we just wait to see how Cedric Zhou is devoured by this apocalypse.
35:20Life at the Aspen Sanctuary stabilized.
35:22Heavy isolation kept out the cold and despair.
35:25Climate control and independent power ran smoothly.
35:27Father even started hydroponic gardening in the salarium to add fresh greens to our diet.
35:38Through hidden cameras and receivers up high, we still get glimpses of evergreen estate.
35:43It's our only window into the world, and especially Cedric Zhou's situation.
35:49After I left, Cedric Zhou searched for me everywhere, but I was gone.
35:53He felt something was wrong.
35:56But with Vivian Su constantly throwing herself at him, he figured he already had evergreen estate and a fortune anyway.
36:01I'd likely frozen to death on the road looking for my parents, said.
36:04Isn't her disappearance perfect?
36:06Sends us the trouble of plotting.
36:08Now, this place is just for the two of us.
36:10Shivering, Cedric Zhou huddled with Vivian Su for once, giving her only half-hearted replies.
36:15I watched them coldly, feeling nothing but utter disgust.
36:17My best friend and my fiancé huddled together plotting my death.
36:21It's truly laughable.
36:27I didn't look at them for days after.
36:29Only when dad reminded me to watch them did I check.
36:33Evergreen estate was stuck inside due to the blackout lit only by candles and the fireplace.
36:38It looked bleak.
36:39Cedric, Vivian and Beatrice had lost their smartness.
36:42Instead, they looked exhausted, terrified and resentful.
36:44The small fuel tank soon ran dry.
36:46The generator died completely.
36:47Extreme cold invaded every corner of evergreen estate.
36:50Frost formed on the walls.
36:51The water pipes had already burst.
36:52They melted snow just to have water.
36:54But fuel soon became an issue.
36:56Cold.
36:57So cold.
36:57Wrapped in blankets, Vivian huddled by the fireplace.
37:00Her voice rasped.
37:01With no makeup, she showed only frostbite and despair.
37:04Cedric, do something or we'll freeze to death.
37:07Cedric kicked the cold radiator in a rage.
37:10What can I do?
37:10No signal.
37:11And no underbelly dealer.
37:14He glared at their dwindling supply pile.
37:16Mostly luxury snacks and wine he'd bought to show off.
37:21Actual survival rations and cans vanished quickly.
37:28Eat sparingly.
37:28Who knows when the snow stops?
37:30Beatrice Jiu Shui.
37:31Snatching the premium chocolate Vivian Su just opened.
37:34Always just eating.
37:34Face taffies for survival now.
37:36What are you doing?
37:37The witch.
37:38Vivian Su looked up like a cat with a step on tail.
37:40Days of hunger and the cold stripped away her mask.
37:42If your son were useless, we wouldn't be in this mess.
37:45Can't even get some fuel.
37:46And he promised me a good life.
37:47Bah, what was that?
37:49You little jinx.
37:50If you hadn't seduced him, he wouldn't have fought with Sarah.
37:52Sarah would never have left suddenly.
37:54Her parents would have cared for her if she were here.
37:57They'd have given us all the supplies.
37:58It's all because of you.
37:59You curse.
38:00Screaming Beatrice Jiu lunged at Vivian Su to scratch her.
38:02Cedric Jiu tried to separate them but was scratched and caught.
38:05Enough! Stop it now!
38:07Cedric Jiu wrote, shutting them both away violently.
38:09Weak and angry, he stumbled and crashed into the bookshelf.
38:12An encyclopedia fell, striking near his feet once more.
38:20Cedric Jiu stared at the book's eyes bloodshot.
38:23Mad obsession surged within him again.
38:25Is this?
38:26Something's wrong.
38:26He grabbed the book like a lifeline, rubbing it and biting the spine in a frenzy.
38:32Come out!
38:33Food!
38:34Water!
38:34Fuel!
38:35Anything!
38:36But the pages stay still.
38:38Only his heavy gasps and the woman's terrified.
38:40Distinctful glares remained.
38:41Insane.
38:42He's truly mad.
38:43I was so blind.
38:44Vivian Su mumbled, instinctively batting away from him.
38:46Beatrice Jiu watched the hymn, pained and frantic, ending in a helpless sigh and dread.
38:52Days passed in agonizing slow motion.
38:54Food at evergreen stage dwindled as arguments escalated.
38:57The ugliest side of humanity was laid bare.
39:00Cedric Jiu began rationing food strictly.
39:03He took most, then Beatrice Jiu, then Vivian Su.
39:05He claimed many strengths and mothers deserve respect, calling Vivian a freeloader.
39:10Vivian Su went from sobbing to silence, her gaze filled with venom.
39:16She started hoarding food secretly, she even licked their discarded wrappers while they
39:20slept.
39:22Beatrice watched the scraps like a rat, constantly abusing Vivian Su.
39:26She lost patience with Cedric, calling him useless.
39:30Wealth, they had stolen anyway.
39:32Over a biscuit, Beatrice Jiu and Vivian Su fought.
39:37Cedric took sides and shoved Vivian hard.
39:39Vivian hit her head, blood pouring out.
39:42Numbly she wiped it, glaring venomously at them.
39:47Evergreen estate became a frozen hell.
39:50We watched coldly, feeling only the satisfaction of revenge.
39:55Their suffering is nothing compared to my past pain.
39:59It is time.
40:00Looking at those haggard figures, father spoke grimly.
40:04They are at their breaking point.
40:06Time to move.
40:08I nodded and took out the real bookmark.
40:10Time to give them hope.
40:12Then, crashy.
40:15I had father adjust the booster so the old radio at Evergreen estate could catch our signal.
40:21The next day, Cedric Jiu hopelessly turned on the radio as usual, searching for news.
40:26Through the static, the voice he had been dreaming of flickered in and out.
40:29Repeating.
40:30Aspen Ridge.
40:31Official rescue point.
40:32Ample supplies.
40:33Sustainable energy.
40:34Accepting survivors.
40:35Location.
40:36Buzzing as it was.
40:37Keywords like Aspen Ridge.
40:39Rescue point.
40:40And supplies hit Cedric like adrenaline.
40:42There's help.
40:43An official rescue point at Aspen Ridge.
40:45Cedric jumped up, trembling, and yelled at the shocked Beatrice Jiu and Vivian Su.
40:49Did you hear?
40:50Aspen Ridge.
40:51There's help and supplies.
40:52A glimmer of hope was rekindled in their eyes.
40:55Aspen Ridge?
40:56Isn't that toward Serafina Lin's family manner?
40:58Beatrice hesitated.
40:58Yes, exactly.
41:00Cedric paced excitedly.
41:01High ground.
41:01Sturdy buildings.
41:02It's definitely an official post.
41:05We must go there now.
41:06But the snow is so deep.
41:08How do we get there?
41:09Vivian clutched her stomach, asking weakly.
41:11Though her eyes burned with the will to leave.
41:16Go.
41:16Crawl if we must.
41:18Cedric's eyes burned.
41:19Staying here means death.
41:20There's food and heat.
41:22Might find Serafina's family.
41:24They're surely living in luxury.
41:25Report them.
41:26Then seize their supplies for us.
41:28Nellis quickly took root and grew.
41:31They forgot how they got evergreeny state.
41:34Only seeking more to crush us down.
41:36They frantically grabbed all warm clothes.
41:39Packed the last food away.
41:41Made crude sleds from broken furniture.
41:43Watching them struggle for false hope.
41:45I smiled coldly.
41:48The fish finally took the bait.
41:50Blizzard raging.
41:52Snow already waist deep.
41:53Bundled up.
41:54Cedric's trio trudged through the vast snow.
41:57Icy wound cut them.
41:59Breathing became hard.
42:01Every step drained them.
42:02Freezing seemed inevitable.
42:07Beatrice was fading fast.
42:08Collapsing in the snow.
42:09Begging fat to carry her.
42:10Lillian sewaged coldly.
42:12Lips turned deep purple.
42:13Clutching her bag tightly.
42:14Hiding the food she'd secretly saved inside.
42:16Cedric felt helpless.
42:17Dreading both Beatrice and the crew slept.
42:19Moving at a snail's table.
42:20Almost there.
42:21We're nearly there.
42:22Hold on.
42:22Cedric kept encouraging himself and the other two.
42:25He imagined the Aspen Sanctuary's warm.
42:28Hot food.
42:29And reporting our crimes to the officials.
42:31After trekking a day and night.
42:33Starving and frozen.
42:34Their strength was gone.
42:35As Beatrice fainted and Lillian gave up.
42:37Cedric pointed ahead and drew it with excitement.
42:41Look.
42:42Lights.
42:42Over there.
42:43The Aspen Sanctuary.
42:44We made it.
42:45A snow-covered building loomed ahead.
42:47Its bright lights shining through the storm-like beacon.
42:51Giorgini had leaked the perimeter lights to guide their way.
42:54The sight gave them one last surge of strength.
42:56Scrambling and shouting hoarsely.
42:57They desperately charged toward the lights.
42:59Finally.
43:00They collapsed against the heavy gates of the Aspen Sanctuary.
43:02With his last strength.
43:04Cedric pounded frantically on the cold alley gates.
43:07Open.
43:08Open up.
43:09We're survivors.
43:10See us.
43:11This isn't a rescue point.
43:12It's private property.
43:13Please leave.
43:14A cold voice rang from the speaker.
43:16Private property.
43:17Cedric felt.
43:17Don't you shout.
43:18Wait.
43:19We heard the broadcast.
43:20They promised help and supplies.
43:22I beg you.
43:23Please let us in.
43:24We're freezing and starving.
43:25Beatrice Jo collapsed behind him.
43:27Vivian Si slumped down.
43:28Her eyes waved.
43:30George spoke coldly to a voice changer.
43:32We'll provide food, but you cannot enter.
43:35It's dangerous out there.
43:36Take the food and leave quick.
43:38A delivery hatch opened by the window.
43:40Three steaming buns and hot water slid out.
43:44The aroma jolted Cedric and the other's senses.
43:46They pounced like wolves.
43:49Devouring the buns despite the heat.
43:52It wasn't enough.
43:54But it restored their strength and greed.
43:56Their eyes fixed greedily on the interior.
44:00It's freezing today.
44:01They actually have fresh buns and hot water.
44:03There must be more supplies inside.
44:04This is definitely the place on the radio.
44:06Cedric sighed started.
44:07He instantly put on a pitiful act.
44:08He backed at the window.
44:09Have mercy.
44:10Please, let us in.
44:11It's literally lethal out here.
44:12I...
44:12I know the owner here.
44:14George Ling.
44:14I'm your son-in-law.
44:15Tell him it's Cedric Jo.
44:17His daughter Serafina Lin's fiance.
44:19He'll definitely see me.
44:20A while passed.
44:21Silence, except for the falling snow.
44:23Just as Cedric lost patience, the father finally spoke again.
44:26We'll let you in alone to talk.
44:27But those two stay outside.
44:29Cedric was overjoyed.
44:30He nodded quickly.
44:31Yes, yes.
44:33Beatrice Jo and Vivian Su panicked.
44:34Dad, you can't leave us.
44:36Mom, Viv, wait for me.
44:38I'll get you after I've explained everything.
44:40Cedric soothed them.
44:41He only thought of getting inside for warmth and food.
44:44The heavy alloy side door opened a crack for one person.
44:47Cedric squeezed inside impatiently.
44:49He was instantly enveloped by spring-like warmth.
44:51He nearly groaned from the comfort.
44:54Before he could see inside, two gods grabbed him from both sides,
44:57pinning his arms and holding him down firmly.
45:01What are you doing?
45:02I'm your master son-in-law.
45:03Let go.
45:04Cedric Jo struggled and shouted in panic.
45:05Son-in-law, a cold, familiar voice came from the shadows ahead.
45:09I stepped slowly into the light.
45:10In cozy loungewear with a warm glass of milk,
45:13I looked at him with indifference, as if at a filthy insect.
45:17My father and mother stood behind.
45:19Their eyes were cold, filled with disdain and hatred.
45:21Seraphine, I need that.
45:22Mom, you all.
45:23Tell them to let me go.
45:24What's going on here?
45:25Cedric Jo, shocked and furious, tried to struggle.
45:27What's going on?
45:28I slowly approached him.
45:29Looking down at his pathetic state, a cruel smile touched my lips.
45:33Cedric, don't you get it yet?
45:34There was never an official rescue point.
45:36We sent on the broadcast.
45:37We are the masters of this place.
45:38You... you lured me here.
45:40Cedric's pupils shunned.
45:42The color drained from his face.
45:43He finally realized it was a total trap.
45:48What else?
45:49I chuckled.
45:50Did you think after how you treated me?
45:52We'd repay evil with kindness and take in three venomous snakes?
45:55You... how heartless of you.
45:57Cedric Jo wrote.
45:58It's freezing outside.
45:59My mom on river will freeze.
46:01Oh, now's race.
46:02My voice said angry.
46:02So what?
46:03Compared to what you did to me and my unborn child, this is nothing.
46:07This is only the beginning.
46:08I waved.
46:09The guards understood, dragging a struggling, cursing Cedric Jo to the surveillance room.
46:13The sanctuary's heavy doors slowly closed once...
46:15Beatrice and Viv's desperate cries were cut off, eventually vanishing into the snow and wind.
46:21Inside, the screens were split into several views.
46:24Outside, Beatrice and Viv pounded the door, but soon collapsed in the cold, their voices fading away.
46:30Cedric was pinned down, watching the two women die buried by snow, turning into frozen corpses.
46:35His eyes went red, howling like a beast.
46:38Ah!
46:39Serafina!
46:39Jocelyn!
46:40Rot in hell!
46:41Let go!
46:42I'll kill you!
46:44Kill me!
46:45I sit across him, sipping milk slowly, just like your past life's plan, kill me and seize my family's wealth.
46:51Cedric Jo's howling stops abruptly.
46:53He looks up, eyes filled with shock, horror, and guilty evasion.
46:57What?
46:57What do you mean, past life?
47:00Surprised that I know.
47:01Setting down the cup, I lean in, my gaze piercing his very soul.
47:06I'm back, from the moment you froze me to death, after stealing everything.
47:10I'm back, with all your skins, your betrayals, and your greed.
47:15Word for word, I recount every detail of your plans with Vivian Su, even the plot against my unborn child.
47:23Cedric Jo turns tail with Karen, his body trembling uncontrollably.
47:27No, impossible.
47:29That was just...
47:30We were just joking.
47:31He stammers, trying to deny it.
47:33Joking?
47:34Father slams the table, roaring in fury.
47:36Conspiring with Vivian Su to ruin Sera and kill her child is a joke.
47:41Cedric Jo, you and Vivian Su,
47:43deserve no mercy.
47:46Your mother cursed two tears.
47:48Monster!
47:49Karma will find you!
47:50I waved the encyclopedia and the real bookmark before him.
47:54Looking for this, aren't you?
47:55Wonder why it went cold?
47:57Cedric's eyes instantly widened, staring at the bookmark.
48:00You...
48:00You really sabotaged it.
48:02Precisely.
48:02I admitted calmly.
48:03I have the key.
48:04You only found it because you triggered it once by chance.
48:08Now, it's back home.
48:09I swiped the bookmark across the page.
48:11Fine chocolates appeared on the table.
48:13Cedric watched this magical scene.
48:15Greed and longing exploded in his eyes.
48:17Then, deep despair swallowed him.
48:19Right there, yet forever out of reach.
48:21But why?
48:22Why treat me like this?
48:23Drained of all strength, he collapsed.
48:25I was tired of his wailing.
48:28Father had him dragged out to join Beatrice and Vivian.
48:32Cedric's agonizing cries echoed through the mountains.
48:35Soon, Cedric drew his last breath.
48:40Revenge is ours.
48:41Two lifetimes of resentment are finally exhaled.
48:43No expected ecstasy.
48:45Only deep, quiet relief.
48:47Evil rips its end.
48:48Fate comes around.
48:49Justice is served.
48:50We watch the snow from the Aspen Sanctuary's lookout.
48:54Mother Lin grips my hand.
48:56George Lin holds us both close.
48:58It's over.
48:59It's all over.
49:00Father says solemnly.
49:01Now we live on as a family.
49:04Yes.
49:05Touching my belly, I feel the warmth of our bomb.
49:09My child, I finally protected you this time.
49:12I've won us a chance to survive.
49:14The road ahead remains long and hard.
49:16Together and prepared, we have infinite hope.
49:20Outro music.
49:22Things are focused on the fighting side of the battle.
49:23Now we're full.
49:23We're full.
