Short filmTranscript
00:00Two years ago, my dad brought his mistress and their daughter right into our home.
00:05Mom's old illness flared up from anger and finally passed away.
00:14Sylvia, your mom is gone now.
00:17From now on, Sharon is your new mom.
00:21Lillian is your real younger sister.
00:28Get one!
00:30If you ever let them show up in front of me again, I'll tell everyone how you let your mistress
00:34kill my mom!
00:36Ungrateful daughter.
00:37Sharon, are you okay?
00:40Even though my dad sent them overseas, our relationship was already broken.
00:46When I hated my dad the most, Xander Foster showed up.
00:54He's my dad's friend.
00:57But in our father-daughter feud,
01:00he stood by me, gentle and unwavering.
01:04After that,
01:06every time I was desperate,
01:08Xander was always there for me.
01:11Sylvia,
01:12don't be afraid.
01:13I'm here.
01:15Your mom in heaven
01:17must want you to be happy.
01:19After that night, I fell in love with him.
01:22Three months later,
01:23I forgave my dad.
01:27Four months later,
01:29I got pregnant.
01:32And I married Xander Foster.
01:37Everyone said I was the most pampered mom to be in harbor,
01:41spoiled by my husband and dad,
01:43like princess.
01:44Princess, I once thought I could let go of the hatred and live happily ever after.
01:51Until the day of my paternal checkup,
01:53I saw their betrayal with my own eyes.
01:56On the same day,
01:57my father wed the mistress that killed my mom.
02:00Congrats, Mr. Foster.
02:02And my husband wed her daughter.
02:03Back when Lillian went abroad,
02:04Xander was so frantic that nearly turned all of Harbor upside down.
02:08Now his wish finally came true.
02:10If you ask me,
02:11the wildest part is today's scene.
02:13Lillian said,
02:14if mom doesn't get married,
02:15I won't either.
02:16So Xander convinced Mr. Hill to marry Sharon.
02:18Mother and daughter both married into high society.
02:21Harbor hasn't seen drama like this in years.
02:25But Xander,
02:26your marriage certificate with Sylvia is fake.
02:29So when her baby is born,
02:31it's going to be an illegitimate child.
02:34Sylvia had everything,
02:36but Lillian was an illegitimate daughter all her life.
02:38I can't stand to see her kid end up the same way.
02:41She always looked down on illegitimate kids.
02:44Who would have thought her own child would end up being one?
03:02Lawyer Lewis,
03:04help me draft a contract.
03:10Xander Foster,
03:11since you chose to betray me and our child,
03:14from now on,
03:16we're done with you.
03:24Mr. Hill,
03:25at the auction,
03:26the ocean's hard necklace you spend millions on,
03:29is that a gift for your granddaughter?
03:30Yes it is.
03:32I want my little angel
03:34to be showered with love
03:36from the moment she's born,
03:38and to be as happy as her mother.
03:41Childbirth is tough.
03:42I really feel for Sylvia.
03:45I'll spend the rest of my life
03:47taking good care of both of you.
03:49Dad,
03:50Xander,
03:51you two were the people I love most,
03:53but together you turned me
03:55into the most pitiful fool
03:57in all of Harbor.
04:08Xander,
04:08you always want to help Lillian
04:10get the Hill group.
04:11So you've been pretending
04:12to be with Sylvia for two years.
04:14That's some real sacrifice.
04:15Lillian is from Hill family too,
04:17but she's had nothing since she was a kid.
04:19I'm just helping her reclaim
04:20what was rightfully hers.
04:21But what if Sylvia finds out
04:23her marriage was a sham,
04:25and that you and Lillian
04:26are the real couple
04:26and gets angry?
04:27I won't let her find out.
04:29And even if she does,
04:31Sylvia loves me so much.
04:32Plus,
04:33she's pregnant now.
04:34There's no way she'd leave me.
04:42Who touched my phone?
04:49Sylvia?
04:50Why aren't you saying anything?
04:52Xander Foster,
04:53let's get the...
04:56I forgot.
04:57Even our marriage certificate is fake.
04:59I don't even have the right
05:00to ask for a divorce.
05:02Honey,
05:03my back is killing me.
05:05The baby's kicking me.
05:06Something urgent came up here.
05:08I'll come home later.
05:09Redemption is fake.
05:11Marriage is fake.
05:12Everything is a lie.
05:14Xander Foster,
05:15so you were scheming all along.
05:16Breaking news.
05:18Seville's young master,
05:19Zeke Lowe,
05:19publicly announced
05:20he got a vaseptomy.
05:21Countless admirers are heartbroken.
05:23If you're willing,
05:24the baby you're carrying
05:25will be my one
05:26and only child in this life.
05:28Xander Foster,
05:29don't think about
05:30helping Lillian
05:31take over the Hill Group,
05:32the company my mother
05:33built from scratch.
05:34I will never just
05:34hand it over.
05:39Lawyer Lewis,
05:40I want to end
05:41my mother's shareholding
05:42trust early
05:43and also
05:44stop all resource support
05:46to the Foster Group.
05:49Miss Hill,
05:50once the inheritance process
05:51has started,
05:5240% of Hill's group's shares
05:53will be transferred
05:54to your name
05:55within five days.
05:57No one knew
05:58that before my mom
05:59passed away,
06:00she set up the most
06:01thorough asset protection
06:02for me,
06:03Sharon Mills.
06:04Even if you marry
06:04into this family,
06:05you won't get
06:06a single penny
06:07from the Hill's.
06:08Sylvia,
06:09we're back.
06:13Honey,
06:14how did your
06:14prenatal checkup
06:15go today?
06:16It's all because
06:16we've been so busy.
06:17Next time,
06:18we'll go with you together.
06:19It's lucky
06:20you didn't come
06:21with me today.
06:22Otherwise,
06:22I wouldn't crash
06:23the big day
06:24for you two either.
06:25Sylvia,
06:26why aren't you
06:27saying anything?
06:28Are you upset?
06:30How about this?
06:31Tomorrow,
06:31I'll have the hospital
06:32director come to our
06:33house personally
06:34to do your checkup,
06:35okay?
06:48Why does she look
06:49like that?
06:50Sylvia went for
06:51her checkup today.
06:52She couldn't have
06:53found out.
06:54Could it be
06:56that mistyled phone call?
06:58The checkup went
06:59perfectly fine.
07:00Oh, right.
07:01Here's my shopping list
07:03when I went out today.
07:04Xander,
07:05sign it.
07:07Thank goodness.
07:08Looks like she
07:08doesn't know anything.
07:10My good girl's
07:11all grown up.
07:12Now,
07:13only let your
07:14husband pick up
07:15the tent.
07:16You don't want
07:16dad's money anymore.
07:18We're a married couple.
07:20Sylvia spends money,
07:21and of course
07:22I'll pay for it.
07:41Sylvia,
07:42that big project
07:43at the company
07:44still needs some
07:45finishing touches.
07:46We need to go take care
07:47of it right away.
07:50Be good.
07:51We'll be back soon.
08:07Yeah,
08:08today's your wedding night.
08:10Of course you're
08:11busy.
08:13Oh,
08:18Sander Foster,
08:19from now on,
08:21my child and you
08:22have nothing to do
08:23with each other.
08:24He won't become
08:25an illegitimate child
08:26like you wanted.
08:28I, Sylvia Hill,
08:30can love bravely
08:32and let go
08:33just as easy.
08:39What project requires
08:40working around the clock?
08:43You don't need
08:44to worry about them.
08:47Oh,
08:47right.
08:48Sylvia,
08:49you haven't had
08:49dinner yet,
08:50right?
08:50I made you
08:51some bird's nest porridge.
08:52I'll be ready soon.
08:59Sylvia,
09:00after you got pregnant,
09:01Xander hasn't touched
09:02you right,
09:03but when he sees me,
09:04he just can't help himself.
09:06Just this afternoon,
09:07we did it three times.
09:09Right here.
09:11Xander Foster
09:11has a tattoo too.
09:17Is this my name,
09:19the H from Hill?
09:20Of course,
09:21it's your name.
09:22Who else
09:23could it be?
09:24Turns out the name
09:25you tattooed
09:26has always been
09:27Lillian Hill's name.
09:31Sylvia,
09:32I turned down
09:33three merger deals
09:34and learned from
09:35a top chef
09:35just so I could cook
09:36this for you myself.
09:37Come on,
09:37try it.
09:41Just this afternoon,
09:42we did it three times.
09:44Is this my name,
09:44the H from Hill?
09:45Of course it's your name.
09:46Who else could it be?
09:47Sylvia,
09:48what's wrong?
09:49Is your morning sickness
09:50this bad?
09:54You.
09:55Is there something
09:56you've been lying
09:57to me about?
09:59Xander Foster,
10:01if it weren't for you,
10:02I wouldn't have gotten
10:03over losing my mom
10:04so quickly.
10:05Because of that,
10:06I'm giving you
10:07one more chance.
10:09If you-
10:09Sylvia,
10:10what are you rambling
10:11about again?
10:13I, Xander Foster,
10:15swear to you,
10:15I've never lied.
10:17The photos of you
10:19and Lillian in bed
10:19are right here
10:20in my hand
10:21and you're still
10:22lying to me.
10:22Your promises
10:23are really worthless.
10:25Alright,
10:26every time you say this,
10:28isn't it just because
10:28you want me to come
10:29for you?
10:29Am I right?
10:37Stop overthinking it,
10:38Sylvia.
10:39You and our child
10:40are everything to me.
10:42No one can ever
10:43replace you.
10:44Meet up,
10:44or it'll get cold soon.
10:49Sylvia.
10:50You think Xander
10:51loves you that much?
10:53Wanna bet
10:53I could make him
10:54leave with just a word?
11:00Sylvia,
11:00there's an emergency
11:01meeting at the company.
11:02I need to head over now.
11:05Xander,
11:06are you really
11:07going to the office?
11:08Sylvia,
11:09stop it.
11:10It's really urgent.
11:11I can't put off.
11:13I have to go.
11:17You're right.
11:20Xander Foster
11:21doesn't love me at all.
11:27I agree to let you
11:29be the child
11:30legal father.
11:31Let's work together.
11:41Silver Hill,
11:42I finally found you.
11:56Mrs. Foster is here.
11:58Happy birthday!
11:59Happy birthday!
12:00Mrs. Foster,
12:01may you have
12:02such a wonderful day
12:03every year.
12:04Birthday?
12:05Ever since my mom
12:06passed away,
12:07I stopped celebrating
12:08my birthday
12:09because my birthday
12:10is the anniversary
12:11of her death.
12:12Did you hear?
12:13Today,
12:14Mr. Hill
12:14is using Sylvia's birthday
12:15to introduce
12:16his new wife publicly.
12:17Yeah,
12:18I heard.
12:19Mr. Hill
12:20is really spoiling
12:20his new wife,
12:21huh?
12:21They just got married
12:22and he's already
12:23transferred several
12:24of his gold shops
12:25from his first wife's
12:26name to his new wife's
12:27name.
12:28His first wife
12:29stuck with him
12:29through all the hard times,
12:31but in the end,
12:32everything goes to
12:33the third one.
12:34The third one?
12:35She's officially
12:36Mrs. Hill now.
12:38Even the status
12:38of the illegitimate daughter
12:39has gone up.
12:41Where's my mom's
12:42memorial photo?
12:43Who changed the picture?
12:45I did.
12:49Sylvia,
12:50I've officially
12:51married Sharon.
12:53From today on,
12:55she's the lady
12:56of this house.
12:57She's your elder now.
12:59Lady of the house?
13:01Does she deserve it?
13:03I know you don't like me,
13:05but today is your birthday
13:06and I have a little wish.
13:09Let me take care
13:10of Andy's later years
13:12and let me look
13:13after this family
13:14for your mother.
13:17On the anniversary
13:18of your mother's death,
13:19I've taken her place.
13:21After she died,
13:23she probably won't
13:24rest in peace.
13:25Shut up!
13:33Shut up!
13:34Sylvia!
13:35Sharon went out
13:36of her way
13:36to throw you
13:37a birthday party.
13:38Don't you have
13:38any manners?
13:41So it was her, huh?
13:43No wonder.
13:44Sharon Mills,
13:45how dare you
13:46touch my mom's photo?
13:47Andy,
13:48today's supposed
13:49to be a happy day.
13:50It's not appropriate
13:51to have stuff of the dead
13:52out here.
13:52It isn't something
13:53of the dead.
13:53It belonged to my mom.
13:55Sylvia!
13:55Sharon's right.
13:56Since there's a new
13:58woman in the house,
13:59this kind of thing
14:00should be put away.
14:03Besides,
14:04Lillian's moving in soon.
14:06If she sees her mom's
14:07photo on display,
14:08she'll be even happier.
14:11Dad,
14:13all you ever talk
14:14about is them.
14:16Have you ever
14:16thought about me?
14:17You think I haven't
14:18thought about you?
14:19Your mom's photo
14:21has been here
14:22for a long time now.
14:24That's enough!
14:26Thanks, Dad.
14:27You really do love me
14:28and Mom the most.
14:42Isn't this the true
14:43heart of love
14:44for Christie's auction?
14:45I heard a mysterious buyer
14:46paid a fortune for it
14:47last month.
14:48Turns out it was
14:48Mr. Foster!
14:50Oh my God!
14:51What a romantic prince!
14:53Miss Sylvia is really
14:55living the dream.
14:56Sylvia,
14:57this is my birthday gift
14:59for you.
14:59Do you like it?
15:03Take up that
15:04maternity dress
15:05right now!
15:08Take up that
15:09maternity dress
15:10right now!
15:14Sylvia,
15:15stop making a scene.
15:16Lillian Hill,
15:16do you not understand it?
15:18Sylvia,
15:19if you really like
15:20this style,
15:21I'll have the designer
15:21come to our house
15:22tomorrow and make you
15:23one just like it.
15:24Is that okay?
15:25Just like it?
15:27Do you even know
15:28this dress?
15:29Sylvia,
15:31I'm a daughter
15:31of the Hill family,
15:32your younger sister.
15:34Do you really hate
15:35me that much?
15:36Even a cheap
15:36maternity dress?
15:37You have to make
15:38things difficult
15:38for me.
15:40Cheap?
15:41And love!
15:42You,
15:43you...
15:43Sylvia,
15:44calm down.
15:45You're still pregnant.
15:48Oh,
15:49oh,
15:50oh,
15:50Sylvia,
15:51you won't even
15:52give me a single dress.
15:53then I'll just
15:55give it back
15:55to you.
15:56No,
15:57no,
15:57don't tear it.
15:58Don't!
15:59No!
16:01Stop!
16:15I know you
16:16don't like me
16:17and my mom.
16:18Before,
16:18you always bullied
16:19us like this.
16:21Today,
16:22in front of everyone,
16:23I'm giving this
16:24dress back to you.
16:29Lillian,
16:30stop it.
16:41Mom,
16:42when mom was
16:43on her deathbed,
16:44she spent
16:45every day
16:46hand-sewing
16:47this maternity
16:48dress for me.
16:49She said
16:50not being able
16:51to see me
16:52get married
16:52and have kids
16:53was her biggest
16:54regret of life.
16:55She wanted me
16:56to tell my children
16:57that grandma
16:58will always
16:59love them.
17:02Times have
17:03changed,
17:04but the daughter
17:05of the first wife
17:06is still so arrogant.
17:07Exactly!
17:08Even an illegitimate
17:09daughter is a sister.
17:10Why be so mean?
17:14Sylvia,
17:15apologize
17:16to Lillian
17:16now.
17:19Sylvia,
17:20apologize
17:21to Lillian
17:21now.
17:26Sylvia,
17:27are you okay?
17:29Sylvia,
17:30are you alright?
17:31Hey.
17:32Ah!
17:35My stomach!
17:38Sylvia,
17:39I was just
17:40trying to help you.
17:41Why did you
17:42push me?
17:43Andy,
17:43I was just
17:44holding a birthday
17:45party for Sylvia.
17:46How did things
17:47end up like this?
17:48Sharon?
17:49Looks like this family
17:49just can't tolerate
17:50the two of us.
17:51Let's go.
17:52Sharon,
17:52don't overthink.
17:53You're the lady
17:54of the hill family.
17:55Ungrateful daughter.
17:56I'm so disappointed
17:58in you.
18:00Sylvia,
18:01looks like dad
18:02and I
18:02and I
18:03really spoiled you
18:04too much.
18:05It hurts.
18:07My stomach hurts
18:08so much.
18:11My stomach
18:12really hurts.
18:14Xander,
18:15is something
18:16wrong with the baby?
18:17Lillian,
18:18don't be scared.
18:18I'll get you to the hospital
18:19right now.
18:20Hurry.
18:23Sylvia,
18:23you really crossed
18:25the line today.
18:26Think about
18:27what you've done
18:27at home.
18:28Sylvia Hill,
18:29did you see that?
18:30The person dad
18:31and Xander
18:31cares about most
18:32is me.
18:47Help.
18:48Please save my child.
18:53Help.
19:01You're awake.
19:07My child.
19:08You were unconscious
19:09for a day.
19:09Thankfully,
19:10the baby is safe,
19:11but your body
19:11is still very weak.
19:12There are signs
19:13of bleeding.
19:14You really can't
19:14get upset again.
19:16By the way,
19:18where's your family?
19:19You called yourself
19:20and still,
19:21no one has come
19:22to see you.
19:24No one came?
19:26No.
19:27The hospital
19:28covered your
19:29medical bills
19:29for now.
19:30Since you're awake,
19:31go settle the bill,
19:33okay?
19:34I'll do it
19:35right away.
19:44Frozen?
19:45How could
19:46that happen?
19:51Zander
19:52and my dad,
19:53they froze my cards.
19:55The hospital
19:57can't cover
19:57your bills anymore.
19:58Pack your things
19:59and get discharged.
20:04So the so-called love
20:05you talk about
20:06was just giving me
20:07the nicest cage
20:08and the most expensive
20:10feed,
20:10making me believe
20:11that I was a princess.
20:13But the second
20:13I stopped obeying,
20:15you took everything
20:16back,
20:16forcing me to bow
20:17on my head.
20:19That kind of love,
20:20I don't want it anymore.
20:24Sylvia,
20:25the four of us
20:26are going
20:27on an overseas trip today.
20:29Just thought
20:29I'd let you know.
20:33It's not easy, huh?
20:35After all these years,
20:37the two rats
20:37finally get to see
20:39the light.
20:42Sylvia,
20:43don't be jealous.
20:45Xander will take you
20:46soon, too.
21:00All these places
21:01are somewhere
21:02I visited
21:03with Xander earlier.
21:07Sylvia,
21:08you probably
21:09don't know yet.
21:11All those places
21:12you went with Xander,
21:13we've been there, too.
21:15He even makes a point
21:16to book the exact
21:17same hotel suite.
21:18Who knows?
21:20The bed you two
21:20slept on
21:21might still have
21:22traces of our
21:23nights together.
21:25Lillian Hill,
21:26go ahead
21:27and feel proud,
21:28but you'll always
21:30be the hidden
21:30side chick.
21:31Xander Foster
21:33has never once
21:34admitted you.
21:45Sylvia Hill,
21:46you call me
21:47the secret
21:47side chick.
21:48Let me show you
21:50who's really
21:51the one
21:52everyone wants
21:52to tear apart.
22:00Miss Hill,
22:01in three days
22:02at the board meeting,
22:03your father plans
22:03to sell the proxy shares.
22:04If you attend,
22:05you can recover
22:06all the assets
22:06that were transferred.
22:10got it.
22:17No way.
22:19I can't let
22:21anything happen
22:21before the board
22:22meeting starts.
22:23I absolutely
22:24can't let them
22:25get away with us.
22:28I can't leave
22:29the hospital.
22:31I have to
22:32protect my child.
22:33I'll keep
22:34fighting against
22:36these shameless
22:37people.
22:41Hey, get in line.
22:42How can you
22:43just cut ahead?
22:44I'm really not
22:44feeling well.
22:45Can you let me
22:46go first?
22:47You honestly
22:47don't look okay.
22:48Hope nothing
22:49seriously happens.
22:50You're carrying
22:50a life inside you.
22:51That's two lives
22:52at stake.
22:53Wait a minute.
22:54Aren't you the one
22:54trending online?
22:55The Hill family's
22:56young lady who
22:57stole her sister's
22:58husband.
23:03Let me see.
23:05It really is her.
23:07She's all
23:07over the
23:08trending topics.
23:09They're saying
23:09she forced
23:10marriage with
23:10her family's
23:11wealth.
23:11Mr. Foster's
23:12actually in love
23:13with her sister.
23:13The most
23:14pampered patient
23:15in Harvard, huh?
23:17Turns out
23:18you're the third
23:18wheel in all this.
23:20Exactly.
23:21You always call
23:21others illegitimate
23:22daughter.
23:23And in the end,
23:24your old kid
23:25is the illegitimate
23:26daughter.
23:26Honestly,
23:27it's hilarious.
23:28Let go of me.
23:29I need to see
23:30a daughter.
23:30Stop pretending
23:31to be the victim.
23:32I can't stand
23:33people like you.
23:35Homewreckers
23:35who ruin
23:36families.
23:39I'm not a
23:40homewrecker.
23:40You say you're
23:41not, so you're
23:41not.
23:42They posted
23:42the marriage
23:43certificate online.
23:44Aside the
23:45bastard in your
23:45belly, what else
23:47do you have?
23:50No...
23:50Xander Foster,
23:51I want you to
23:52tell everyone
23:53I'm not a
23:53homewrecker.
23:55Sorry, the
23:56number you down
23:57currently unavailable.
23:58Still think you're
23:59a princess, huh?
24:01Now they're a
24:01mother-daughter
24:02both marrying
24:02into a wealthy
24:03family.
24:04What does that
24:04make you?
24:08Xander Foster...
24:09Xander...
24:09Well, we're
24:11just heading off
24:11on this trip.
24:12If Sylvia finds
24:13out, she's
24:14going to be
24:14pissed, right?
24:15So what?
24:16I've spoiled
24:17her for so long.
24:18She can't live
24:18without me.
24:19I already bought
24:20her a private
24:20island in the
24:21Maldives.
24:22She's so easy
24:22to please.
24:23As soon as she
24:24sees the gift
24:24I got her,
24:25she'll forget
24:25all of this.
24:27Really?
24:29Sylvia really
24:30loves you.
24:31All right.
24:31Lillian, what's
24:32your baby's part?
24:33Whoa!
24:34That so-called
24:34husband of yours
24:35doesn't care about
24:36you at all.
24:37Just get out
24:38of here.
24:42If anyone
24:43touches me again,
24:44I'll make sure
24:44they disappear
24:45from the harbor.
24:46You dare to
24:47hit me?
24:47How dare you?

24:53be born!
