00:01the hotel just alerted me that a condom charge from the previous night had been posted to my bill
00:07when i confronted my husband rex dylan he stared back at me with a look of utter bewilderment
00:13plastered across his face sweetheart this has got to be a system glitch or someone keyed in the wrong
00:19membership number i'll call and lodge a formal complaint first thing tomorrow little does he
00:25know the hotel's lead investor is my ride or die best friend hey can you pull up who rex checked
00:32into
00:32the hotel with last night i'm gonna catch them red-handed the card was linked exclusively to my
00:37personal information meaning no one else could use it yet the hotel had called claiming i checked into
00:44the presidential suite the night before and used the condoms in the room i asked three times to
00:49confirm and the person on the line insisted it was leela ruth herself who checked in i couldn't swallow
00:55this humiliation what made it worse was that once when i'd mention using the card what do you want
01:00me to say rex had looked utterly annoyed and snapped is our home not good enough for you why would
01:05you
01:05rather sleep elsewhere i'm so sick of your ridiculous spending habits i didn't get it why was he so pissed
01:11off just because i wanted to use a free card the angrier i grew the faster i drove heading straight
01:18for
01:18the hotel hello i'm leela ruth you called me this morning my anger simmering just beneath the surface
01:26the receptionist looked up her face clouding with confusion mrs ruth i thought you just went back to
01:33your room you made it clear that no housekeeping service was needed a moment ago my face darkened
01:38instantly the reception went on just 10 minutes ago mrs ruth called and activated the do not disturb
01:45service i was so furious that i trembled all over that woman had the nerve to check in under my
01:52name
01:53grunting my teeth but i am the real leela ruth the receptionist eyed me up and down impatiently
02:03madam if you don't have a reservation please leave we have many guests today please don't cause a scene
02:11here it hit me like a bolt of lightning my husband had become someone else's husband
02:17the irony was bitter enough to choke on at that moment the elevator dinged open tiffany butler
02:24stepped out clad in the latest chanel suit of the season the diamond necklace around her neck was the
02:29one i bought at auction for 1.8 million as far as i knew she was just my husband's newly
02:33graduated
02:33junior the receptionist's face lit up as if she'd spotted a savior she pointed straight at tiffany
02:39and said to me this is the real mrs ruth the rightful one i suggest you leave immediately
02:44and stop making trouble tiffany's face blanched the second she saw me but she recovered fast
02:48forcing a sickly sweet smile what a coincidence are you staying here too i coldly shook off her
02:55outstretched hand tiffany don't you think you owe me an explanation why did you check in under my name
03:01and why were the condoms you used charged to my account
03:07also why are my shoes on your feet and when did my husband become yours
03:12my voice cut through the lobby and the previously noisy crowd fell dead silent
03:17every pair of eyes locked onto tiffany tiffany glanced around nervously then her eyes immediately
03:22welled with tears what are you talking about my husband gave me this card because he felt bad
03:28about my frequent business trips and he bought me these shoes as well as for the condoms she feigned
03:33shyness and lowered her head what's wrong with me using them with my husband are you upset because
03:39your husband doesn't treat you well need my help to get you a psychiatrist look at her haggard face
03:48her husband must not want to touch her a card like that starts at three hundred thousand dollars
03:52she doesn't seem like someone who could afford it are they seriously letting in just anybody at such a
03:58high-end place i was only wearing casual clothes today hardly the shabby mess they made me out to be
04:04i never realized you were so good with words
04:12did you verify her identity when the co-called mrs ruth checked in the receptionist hesitated her face
04:19flushing she said she didn't have her id but mr dylan is a regular so so you just broke the
04:25rules
04:26your hotel security is a joke
04:31she's just a receptionist why are you picking on her people stay at hotels they can't afford
04:38don't make a scene here
04:46answer it put it on speaker let's hear how rex is going to spin this
04:52as she tapped the speaker button she burst into fake heaving sobs
04:56honey come to the hotel quick there's a crazy woman saying i'm not your wife and trying to kick me
05:02out
05:02she wailed dramatically and rex's furious voice exploded from the phone at once
05:08a crazy woman dare she bully you don't be skied i'm on my way
05:12a crazy woman does so that was what i was to him now
05:15the onlookers stared at me with open disdain some even stepping forward to comfort tiffany
05:20don't take it to heart she's insane tiffany murmured her thanks
05:24then turned to me with a look of feigned concern
05:26my husband will be here soon he has a terrible temper you better leave fast who knows what he
05:33might do to you he just gave me that three hundred thousand dollars vip card you know
05:37shows how much he spoils me if he gets here who knows what he might do to you
05:41it sounded like a warning but it was nothing but a slap in the face
05:44a bare-faced provocation i trembled with rage
05:47every fiber of me screaming to tear off her hypocritical mask right then and there
05:51rex arrived faster than i'd expected and he burst through the hotel doors
05:56the second his eyes landed on me they turned cold and vicious
05:59he roughly shoved me aside then pulled tiffany into a tight protective embrace
06:04don't be afraid i'm here
06:06the way he gently stroked tiffany's hair was so tender it hurt to watch
06:10pushed by him i stumbled backward my waist slamming hard into the sofa arm behind me
06:14if not for the furniture i would have crashed straight to the ground meanwhile
06:18tiffany stood on tiptoes wrapped her arms around his neck and the two locked in a long
06:22wet lingering kiss you're so good to me honey tiffany panted
06:27her voice thick with coquetry you need to set this woman straight
06:30she won't believe i'm your wife
06:33only then did rex turn his gaze to me there was no flicker of guilt
06:37only pure disgust dot he released tiffany and strode over
06:40then slapped me hard across the face tiffany
06:43have you no shame just because i turned you down when you tried to hint for a
06:47permanent position you've held a grudge ever since
06:50now you dare to bully my wife in public i clapped a hand to my cheek which flared
06:54red swollen and burning hot i stared at him in disbelief the man before me was a
06:59stranger terrifyingly unfamiliar before i'd come to the hotel he'd feigned
07:04ignorance on the phone using his usual gentle patience to tell me not to
07:07hear him yet in the blink of an eye he could twist the truth without batting an eye and
07:12even hurt me he'd always had two faces it turned out now that i thought back the signs had been
07:18there all along he'd only lit up at the latest gaming console i bought him but dismissed my
07:23painstakingly developed scientific research as nothing but scrap his so-called concern had
07:28always circled back to my bank card maybe he'd never loved me maybe he'd never even tried to
07:33understand the real me out a strange sense of calm rose from the depths of my chest
07:36drowning out all the anger i lowered my hand from my face and looked straight at him
07:41my voice shockingly steady even to myself rex repeat what you just said tell me who am i and who
07:49is she a flicker of panic crossed rex's eyes but it vanished as quickly as it came you really are
07:54crazy wasn't i clear enough she is my lawfully wedded wife leela and you you're just some intern
08:02who failed to climb the ladder tiffany he raked his eyes over me his voice cold and cruel
08:11look at yourself you're pushing 40 aren't you how could i possibly marry someone like you
08:18don't embarrass yourself okay can't get a man herself so she's jealous of others happiness
08:25i told you she must be crazy didn't think she'd start having delusions too that's really scary
08:30poor couple they're so unlucky to run into a nutshell like this i stayed quiet just watching
08:36their little show rex was clearly dead set on protecting tiffany even if it meant grinding me
08:41into the dirt but did he really think he could twist the truth with just a few lies slowly i
08:46pulled
08:46my id card and marriage certificate out of my bag these should be enough to prove who i am rex
08:53and
08:53tiffany's faces froze at once tiffany's eyes went wide with shock rex lunged forward snatched the
09:00id and marriage certificate out of my hand and without even glancing at them hurled them straight
09:04out the hotel's revolving glass door will you just stop last time you waved a fake id at me to
09:11disgust me and now this new trick forging an id and a marriage certificate tiffany have some shame
09:18do you think i won't call the cops and report you for harassment and forging official documents
09:23the onlooker stairs shifted from disdain to outright aggression and they echoed immunity call the
09:28police do it now she's a fraud she should be arrested she's not welcome here kick her out or
09:37we'll complain about the hotel tiffany visibly relaxed at that she snuggled back into rex's arms and spoke to
09:44me in a tone that sounded concerned but oozed malice you've been so abused by your husband that you've
09:49lost your mind i can introduce you to a good psychiatrist and a top divorce lawyer if you need
09:56she stressed the word divorce extra hard after all once i was gone she could step right into the role
10:02of mrs dylan to a sa response rex kissed her forehead then turned back to me his eyes as cold
10:07as ice get out of here now or i'm calling the police immediately he snapped at the receptionist
10:13never here if noodley it call security to drive this crazy woman out who knows what else she might do
10:18what if she hurts other guests
10:20she grabbed her walkie-talkie and called for security at once two tall guards marched over
10:32grabbed my arms from either side and began dragging me roughly towards the exit i struggled desperately
10:37my elbows throbbing from the rough tugging amid the chaos tiffany had somehow slipped close to me
10:43seizing the split second when everyone's attention was elsewhere she tripped me
10:47already off balance i crashed hard to the marble floor oops tiffany gasped and feigned innocence
10:52i just wanted to help you up and you deliberately fell to blame me
10:57on the stand only to collapse back down rex stood there watching coldly as if i were a total stranger
11:03my heart turned to ice at that moment any last shred of hope for him was snuffed out with trembling
11:09hands i fumbled in my pocket for my phone desperate to call 9-1-1 but the second i unlocked
11:15it
11:15rex lunged forward and snatched it away what are you trying to do call the police he accused me falsely
11:21let me tell you everyone here saw clearly that you fell on purpose
11:26don't even think about framing my wife and the hotel
11:29i have a bleeding disorder call an ambulance now
11:32i shouted through the pain but rex remained indifferent instead hurling my phone forcefully
11:37across the lobby left alone i endured the searing pain using my uninjured leg to prop myself up and
11:42crawl towards my phone just then a delicate high heel stomped down hard on my palm tiffany looked
11:47down at me condescendingly sign a statement and admit everything today was your fault then i'll call
11:52an ambulance for you otherwise she paused for effect she pressed down harder the excruciating pain in my
11:58hand mixed with the agony from my knee and ankle nearly made me black out i could barely speak
12:03trembling violently from both pain and rage my consciousness growing hazy just as i thought i
12:08would pass out a series of rapid sharp high heel clicks echoed from the hotel entrance
12:13my best friend vivian was striding in lila i found out rex really did cheat he's checked into this hotel
12:19more times than you have in the past few years he even dared to use the exclusive membership card i
12:24gave
12:24you with that mistress her voice however cut off abruptly the moment she saw me kneeling on the
12:29ground in such a miserable state the receptionist who had been so arrogant just moments ago now turned
12:37pale her voice trembling as she timidly called out dear director carter affirmed vivian's identity as
12:43the hotel's investor beyond any doubt what so she wasn't lying after all the husband really brought his
12:50mistress to impersonate the real wife is this guy even human my god he helped the lover bully his own
12:55wife and
12:55even hit her what a piece of trash this disgusting pair is truly repulsive public opinion flipped on a dime
13:02anyone traveling with family or a partner instinctively recoiled at infidelity and their words grew sharper by the
13:08second awkwardly the security guards let go of me not daring to lay a finger on me anymore vivian's
13:13face crumbled with pity as she tried to squat down and help me but before her hand could touch me
13:19rex
13:19grabbed it his face was plastered with a sip of horseshit panico smile as he shook her hand roughly
13:25miss carter i'm so sorry for causing trouble at your hotel don't worry i'll take this troublemaker away
13:30right now she just has a habit of acting crazy please don't mind her he even pretended to be chummy
13:35leaning in like they were old friends by the way miss carter who's your friend here
13:40we'll all look out for her when you're not around
13:44tiffany chimed in fast putting on a sickly sympathetic face yeah mrs carter your friend is
13:48really pitiful running into a man like him it's so sad that she's betrayed i froze for a beat before
13:54realizing that these idiots still didn't believe the best girl vivian was talking about was me
13:58what are you waiting for the investors here and you still haven't dragged this crazy troublemaker out
14:07the guards exchanged nervous looks glancing back and forth between vivian and me unsure what to do
14:12vivian was absolutely livid with a sudden sharp motion she wrenched her hand free from rex's grip
14:18her voice was glacial stay away from me but rex held on stubbornly he planted himself directly in
14:26front of vivian blocking her view of me and continued his tirade without an ounce of shame
14:29miss carter please don't be upset this woman is clearly trying to extort money her injuries may
14:34look serious but she's perfectly fine i said stay away from me someone clean this up immediately
14:41it's an eyesore are you deaf i said stay away from me if anything happens to leela i will make
14:48sure
14:48you regret it with that she shoved both rex and tiffany aside and rushed to meet at the sight of
14:53the
14:53blood staining my skirt and my deathly pale complexion her voice wavered blood loss was
14:58clouding my vision i clung to the last shreds of consciousness and gripped her wrist
15:05call an ambulance without hesitation vivian dialed emergency services around us the whispers among
15:12the onlookers grew louder so this guy hasn't even met his wife's best friend unbelievable he brings his
15:19lover here to bully his wife and now they targeted her friend the hotel investor miss carter just teach
15:26them a lesson they disgusting rex was really embarrassed but he still refused to accept what
15:32was unfolding before him tiffany tugged at his sleeve unwilling to back down rex something's not right
15:37if she really is miss carter's best friend why don't any of the hotel staff recognize her
15:42miss carter owns this place it doesn't make any sense sensing the cracks in rex's confidence
15:49tiffany leaned in pressing her point with growing boldness besides i went through miss carter's
15:54social media recently there wasn't a single post or mention of anyone named lella
16:01do you think leela might have fooled miss carter somehow rex's gaze darkened with renewed suspicion
16:07turning back to vivian he said with certainty miss carter surely you've been misled
16:11this woman knows exactly how to play the victim she's mastered the art of manipulation
16:16you have to see that you have to see no way she's your friend reinforce his point he gestured to
16:22miss carter this is miss tiffany bertler she's the heirate to ruth group mr ruth's daughter i'm sure
16:28you've crossed paths before she'll vouch that you've never met leela his words landed like a slap i
16:34blinked in disbelief even vivian looked momentarily speechless caught between disbelief and fury
16:38the heiress to ruth group i was the only daughter of the ruth family after choosing to pursue a career
16:44in science rather than take over the company i'd fallen out with my father and stepped away from
16:48the public eye keeping my identity get the hell out of my office and yet this imposter had the nerve
16:53to claim it oh the heiress to ruth group then why does she have the last name butler it's due
16:59to a
16:59complicated family matter but make no mistake tiffany truly is ruth group's heiress vivian let
17:06out a cold sharp snort she immediately pulled out her phone dialed my father's number and tapped the
17:11speaker button for the entire lobby to hear hello mr ruth hello mr ruth i heard you suddenly have a
17:19daughter named tiffany are you aware she's the mistress of leela's husband and they're bullying
17:24nicolette together vivian what nonsense are you talking about i only have one daughter lila where
17:30did this tiffany come from who's spreading laws about my girl where are you i'm on my way the lobby
17:39fell into a deathly silence rex who'd been oozing smutness moments earlier froze mid-step he whirled
17:45around abruptly snatching tiffany's arm as she tried to slink away unnoticed tiffany come on call
17:54your father right now what the hell is going on here i i i never said i was the heir
18:00out of ruth
18:01group you just assumed it yourself rex looked as if he'd been struck by lightning what but when i
18:07pressed you about your background you never denied it you even hinted you could help me land that
18:11cooperation project with ruth group mocking laughter erupted around them cutting through the tense
18:16air a cold chill seeped into my bones settling deep in my chest it turned out that rex had believed
18:22all
18:22this time that his shot at that crucial ruth group partnership came from tiffany he had no clue it was
18:27me pulling strings and smoothing paths who'd paved the way for every opportunity he'd gotten at that
18:32moment the wail of an ambulance grew louder echoing closer to the hotel blood loss blurred my vision
18:37and a violent shiver racked my body as the paramedics lifted me onto the stretcher i stared up at the
18:43hotel's opulent crystal chandelier its light refracting into a dizzying haze the whole scene felt like an
18:48absurd cruel nightmare rex made a move as if to rush over seemingly he had nothing to say but vivian
18:54stopped him sharply the last thing i heard before darkness swallowed me was vivian's unyielding promise
18:59i'm here this time i'll make sure they pay for everything they did the hospital room reeked of
19:04sterile disinfectant and four drip trickled slowly from the blood transfusion bag into my veins
19:10i stared out the window at the gray overcast sky my heart feeling far colder than my body giving my
19:16love to a man like rex had been the cruelest irony of my life vivian sat beside me holding my
19:21uninjured
19:22hand gently her voice soft with comfort he's not worth your tears leela you deserve better
19:29i forced a faint smile but before i could say anything the ward door slammed open with a crash
19:34rex stood in the doorway his face livid with rage there was no trace of guilt in his eyes only
19:40raw
19:40bitter accusation he strode to the bedside jabbing a finger inches from my nose his voice a snarl
19:46leela why didn't you tell me earlier your parents ran ruth group if you had how could i have offended
19:51both ruth group and carter group now look what you've done i've been fired from the company and
19:58everything i've worked for is ruined are you satisfied his shamelessness disgusted me i told
20:03you more than once you were just too impatient to listen too busy displacing my family affairs is trivial
20:10rex you based by handling a loafer you did this to yourself you deserve it stung by my words he
20:18flew
20:18into a more hysterical rage blame me if you hadn't spent all your time in that lab neglecting yourself
20:24and turning into someone who no longer fit your expectations would i have strayed you never cared
20:29if i was tired after work even with all these family resources you never once lifted a finger to help
20:35me
20:35you never cared if i was tired after work even with all these family resources you never once lifted a
20:40finger to help me at that moment tiffany walked in yeah leela to become one flesh in marriage rex's
20:46love for you faded a long time ago but he still stayed with you out of duty yet you schemed
20:51against
20:51him like this his layoff was your doing too right that's so mean rex was such a fool immediately he
20:59was
20:59emboldened by her few words and his gaze towards me turned even more venomous i looked at this dramatic
21:04pair with utter scorn i didn't help you why do you think your little company could manage to connect
21:09with ruth group all on your own or was it through tiffany's fake identity as the ruth erinress rex the
21:16resources you stole from me didn't just feed you they inflated your greed and your audacity
21:21rex's face paled and he fell silent i pressed on my voice trembling with barely suppressed rage you
21:27claimed to stay with me out of duty then why did you cheat why did you let others call me
21:33a lunatic and
21:34hit me your legitimate wife rex you destroyed your bright future with your own hands
21:41i'd already prepared the documents to promote you to vice president of the company
21:46now you don't deserve it
21:54tiffany shrieked in defense we didn't hit you you fell on your own yeah right leela don't be so dramatic
22:01i stared at him a crushing sense of sadness washing over me i have a bleeding disorder and
22:07you're aware of it a small cut while chopping vegetables can make me bleed uncontrollably
22:13yet you never cared i lost so much blood this time and you call me delicate do you know what
22:21i'm most
22:21grateful for now that we don't have children otherwise how pitiful they would be i i didn't
22:30mean it whether intentional or not it doesn't matter anymore vivian spoke coldly holding up her phone
22:36screen for us all to see i found something interesting rex the luxury goods you've given tiffany over the
22:41years far exceed your legitimate income you stole many of the gifts leisha's father and i gave her to
22:46please that woman as for the money you spent i stared at the clear transfer records on the screen
22:51stunned by rex's audacity you dared to embezzle company funds i didn't my father stood there with
23:00a stern face two uniformed police officers behind him whether it's a false accusation we'll find out soon
23:08his gaze swept over rex and tiffany finally resting on me with a look of tender concern
23:15officers the evidence has been handed over go ahead and deal with them the facade of hypocrisy
23:21on his face collapsed instantly replaced by sheer terror he lunged at tiffany frantically trying to
23:26tear off the diamond necklace around her neck and the luxury watch on her wrist
23:29his movements were so rough that he almost knocked her over
23:35leela believe me i didn't know anything
23:40i didn't do any of that
23:44leave what's not your line i do any of that i only gave her these pieces of jewelry because i
23:48thought they were cheap replicas they're yours here i'm giving them back to you rex what are you
23:53doing you're hurting me the bodyguard beside my father reacted instantly stepping forward and
23:58rex is not hard with a sickening thug rex crumpled to the ground letting out a sharp cry of pain
24:04daring to bully my daughter my father's voice was like ice do you take me as nothing he took a
24:10step
24:10forward looking down at the cowering man on the floor then took a folder from his assistant and
24:14threw it directly into rex's face embezzling company funds falsifying accounts sifling project
24:20money to support your lover rex dylan you must have a death wish paper scattered across the floor
24:26revealing clear bank statements and account details that left rex's face drained of all color
24:30he looked up in panic his gaze darting wildly to tiffany who was pale faced beside him and shouted
24:36mr ruth it's not my fault it's all tiffany she told me to do it all she claimed to be
24:43your daughter
24:44saying that it didn't matter if we use the company's money but might stand i didn't they
24:48gotta maver this money's money i were thought did you and really no one would dare question it
24:55she deceived me her lips trembled but no sound came out a cold dread crept from the saws of my
25:02feet to the top of my head when i heard that it dawned on me that this man no matter
25:06who stood beside
25:07him could be so utterly selfish so quick to discard anyone without a second thought the love he once
25:13claimed randy in his heart it likely weighed less than the empty promises scribbled on paper rex was
25:19still scrambling to prove his loyalty he even dropped to his knees and moved toward my father
25:23dad we're family please forgive me this once i'll treat leela well from now on i swear
25:30his gaze suddenly fell on the blood transfusion bag beside my hand and as it struck by a wonderful idea
25:35he blurted out urgently leela has lost too much blood then let tiffany make up for it with her blood
25:40she can give blood instead she's young she should be able to handle it i shuddered all over a wave
25:47of nausea crashing over me how could he suggest something like that so casually it was as if
25:52tiffany weren't a living breathing person but just an object to be tossed aside whenever he pleased
25:57we're not family my voice was cold afraid with the exhaustion of having used up every last ounce of
26:02strength rex we're getting a divorce no we can't he struggled to push himself up from the ground
26:10i won't agree leela i know i messed up i'm sorry just give me another chance it doesn't matter whether
26:17you agree or not i closed my eyes no longer able to bear the sight of his repulsive face it's
26:23not your
26:23call to make later rex and tiffany were taken away by the police during my stay in the hospital my
26:30parents
26:30and vivian took turns looking after me they were careful around me and never once mentioning rex's name
26:35they tried everything to lift my spirits terrified that the ordeal would leave a permanent mark on me
26:40then came the day i was discharged my mother took my hand her eyes glistening with unshed tears
26:47leela come home and live with us your father he misses you terribly
26:57what do you say we have a family reunion dinner
27:02life had been easy for me since childhood because they got everything taken care of
27:08their only wish had always been for my safety and happiness but as i got older i became headstrong
27:14devoting myself entirely to the world of scientific research sometimes research could be dangerous
27:20when they'd objected i'd simply left home for five years even refusing to invite them to my wedding out
27:25of sheer stubbornness i'd known they were only afraid i'd get hurt but i'd been too willful back then
27:31they'd said that if i found someone reliable to marry they'd let me continue my research without
27:36pressuring me to quit without a second thought i'd married rex who'd seemed gentle and thoughtful at
27:41the time but after we got married my mother-in-law despised me for not having a child in five
27:46years
27:46and rex grew colder towards me with the passing year i realized then that the only people who truly
27:52loved me unconditionally were my parents i hadn't dared tell them what i'd been through afraid to see the
27:58disappointment in their eyes and terrified they'd blame me for not following their advice rex owed
28:03his so-called triumph with the ruth group entirely to me i was the one who persuaded vivian to pull
28:08strings for him when he had nothing to offer but that very act of mine had stoked rex's ambition and
28:13in the end revealed what kind of person he truly was back in the early days of our marriage he
28:18had
28:18indeed been kind to me caring and attentive but everything changed after tiffany appeared although
28:24my parents had never approved of my involvement in scientific research they still pulled me into a
28:29proud hug whenever i won an important award rex by contrast always found a way to downplay my
28:34achievements this time i couldn't bear to break my parents hearts again i squeezed my mother's hand in
28:40return my voice thick with emotion mom i'm willing to go home when i arrived at the house i hadn't
28:47stepped
28:47foot in for five years everything felt just as it had been my father once so imposing in the business
28:52smart teared up the moment he saw me walked in he stepped forward pulled me into a tight embrace
28:57his shoulders trembling slightly and finally let his tears fall freely it's good you're back
29:02i'm so glad with my parents in my arms the grievances i'd bottled up for five years burst forth like
29:08a
29:08flood they didn't mention rex at all not a word they just gently patted my back wordlessly telling me
29:13this place would always be my safe haven later the verdict was finally delivered rex was sentenced to
29:19seven years in prison for embezzlement and related charges and tiffany as his accomplice received a
29:23five-year term most of the jewelry rex had stolen and gifted tiffany was recovered before the sentencing
29:28rex sent a message through his lawyer begging to see me one last time i refused flatly the very
29:33thought of laying eyes on him now made my stomach churn i once asked my father how much of the
29:37embezzled
29:38funds could be recovered he sighed and shook his head it can't be recovered i share part of the blame
29:44if i hadn't opened those doors from handed him control of the key projects for your sake
29:49he never would have been able to siphon off the money so smoothly he looked at me his eyes gentle
29:57yet resolute but it's okay the foundation of ruth group won't be shaken by this amount but i want
30:02you to know this i'll support you continuing your scientific research feel free to do whatever you want
30:08sweetie i've got your back later i threw myself back into my scientific research diving head first
30:14into a new project and leading my team with renewed focus vivian later told me that after the incident
30:19the hotel had overhauled its entire security system and implemented stricter identity verification
30:24procedures around that time my mother started showing up at my lab almost daily with homemade lunches
30:29she knew how easily i lost track of time once i was immersed in research so she appointed herself my
30:34personal alarm clock every day at mealtime she appeared right on schedule gently nudging me away
30:39from my microscope and reminding me to nourish myself later i led my team in developing an
30:44automated intelligent medical device soon after it hit the market it sent shockwaves through the
30:48industry hailed as a groundbreaking innovation standing on stage at the product launch i explained
30:53our achievements with confidence and calm facing countless astonished and admiring glances as soon as i
30:58finished my speech and stepped off the stage a tall elegant man with a refined caminer stopped me
31:03he wore a well-fitted dark suit his bright eyes filled with undisguised admiration dr ruth your
31:09presentation was truly wonderful handing me his business card i'm darnell pansy head of corey medical
31:14i was wondering if i might have the honor of getting to know you better i took his card and
31:18meeting his clear sincere gaze nodded of course from then on we crossed classes at various industry
31:24events and academic conferences he always took the initiative to talk to me offering insightful
31:29opinions and showing great respect and passion for scientific research later at a charity gala he
31:34invited me to dance in the ballroom he was graceful and courteous his steps steady and his gaze warm
31:40after the gala he confessed to me saying he admired my talent and felt sympathy for my past experiences
31:45hoping to have the chance to take care of me i didn't drown in the new romance and replied calmly
31:50thank you for your kind offer but it's too early to talk about this now he showed no sign of
31:55frustration or pressure only quiet understanding and though he kept his distance his concern was
32:00constant but we kept it that way for two years in the sterile world of her lab his quiet presence
32:05was a gentle androsian a reminder that she was not alone he would bring her tea when she was lost
32:10in
32:10her research and tidy her desk when she was too focused to notice my parents met him a few times
32:14and
32:15spoke highly of him saying he had his eyes set on me genuinely not for status or gained on a
32:20sunny
32:20afternoon he formally asked me to date again looking into his eyes as sincere as ever and thinking of
32:25his quiet vigilance over these two years i smiled and nodded okay
