Short filmTranscript
00:00To save my dad, my mom was raped by kidnappers.
00:04From that day on, everyone called me a bastard.
00:07They said I was the child of a rapist.
00:09My dad is an executive at the world's top wealth group.
00:1222 years ago, my mom was pregnant with me.
00:15She went to the beach for vacation with my dad, but they met kidnappers.
00:19To save my dad, my mom led the kidnappers away alone.
00:24Dad ran away on his own.
00:25He was survived in the end, but the kidnappers were inhuman.
00:30They raped my mom, who was already pregnant.
00:32Everyone said my mom was a shame for the Anderson family.
00:36They said she should die, but my mom refused.
00:39For me and her belly, she tried hard to live.
00:43My dad cared about his reputation.
00:45He couldn't take the initiative to divorce my mom, because my mom saved his life.
00:50If he broke up with her, he would be ungrateful.
00:53That would hinder his promotion.
00:55So he put my mom under house arrest in a remote mountain villa.
01:00He told everyone it was to let my mom rest well during her pregnancy.
01:03But that villa was dilapidated.
01:06It had long been abandoned.
01:08How could it be a good place to rest during pregnancy?
01:11Soon after, my mom only received divorce papers.
01:15Dad quickly brought his mistress into our home.
01:19On his wedding day, my mom gave birth to me.
01:23My mother and I lived in a remote villa for eight years.
01:26In those eight years, my father never visited us once.
01:30Only two servants were there to care for us.
01:33But they were really there to monitor and imprison us.
01:36We were not allowed to run away.
01:38No outsiders were allowed to contact us.
01:40The villa was deep in the mountains and forests.
01:44Guarding us was a miserable job.
01:46The two servants were bitter and angry.
01:49They always took their anger out on my mother and me.
01:52They called my mother a bitch.
01:53They said she should just die.
01:55They called me the child of a rapist.
01:57My mother tried to protect me and fought with them.
02:00But every time, they beat her until she was covered in bruises.
02:04One night, after they beat her again, I hid under their bed.
02:09I wanted to pretend to be a ghost and scare them.
02:12But I overheard them talking.
02:14The insults and the beatings were all ordered by my stepmother.
02:17She wanted us to suffer so much that we would end ourselves.
02:21I believe my stepmother would kill us herself if she could.
02:24But my father's business was booming.
02:27If they were caught killing us, their reputation would be ruined.
02:31My stepmother didn't dare take the risk.
02:34They were very clever.
02:35Even if they were discovered, they could make the servants the scapegoats.
02:39Ourselves ending was the best possible outcome for them.
02:42They were waiting for that day so long.
02:45Life goes on.
02:46I have kept this secret for three years.
02:49Until one day.
02:51I told my mother about this.
02:53But she didn't make a scene.
02:55She just started teaching me how to read and write.
02:58And some rules I didn't understand.
03:00I wasn't satisfied.
03:02I wanted to find my father and ask for the truth.
03:05But my mother strictly stopped me.
03:07I was rebellious and didn't listen.
03:09I tried to run away.
03:11One day, a delivery truck came to the villa.
03:14I snuck onto the truck.
03:15Three days later, I followed it back to the Anderson estate.
03:18That was the first time I saw Anderson mansion.
03:21It was grand and magnificent.
03:23I was dressed in rags.
03:24They treated me like a beggar and kicked me out.
03:27At the gate, I saw my father coming back in a luxury car.
03:32He was with a girl dressed in fancy clothes.
03:34I ran forward and called him Dad.
03:37But my father's bodyguard kicked me to the ground.
03:40My father looked at me with pure disgust.
03:43He coldly ordered them to send me back to the villa.
03:46He looked at me like I was a piece of trash.
03:48I heard the girl ask him who I was.
03:51My father spoke to her gently.
03:52Don't look, Sophia.
03:54Just a beggar.
03:56Beggars are dirty.
03:58Later, I found out that girl was my stepmother's daughter.
04:01Sophia Anderson.
04:03At only seven years old, she was already the pride of the family.
04:07And I was just a beggar in their eyes.
04:10I thought if I studied hard, Dad would love me too, just like he loves Sophia.
04:16So I studied with my mother as if my life depended on it.
04:20As I grew up, I became more and more beautiful.
04:23But my mother only grew more worried.
04:26She forbade me from dressing up.
04:28She even forced me to look ugly.
04:30She didn't want the servants to see my real face.
04:33When I turned 22, something changed.
04:36My mother said something to the guards.
04:38They actually took her back to the Anderson estate.
04:40She was only gone for half a day.
04:42When she came back, she was drowning in sadness.
04:45I didn't know what happened there.
04:47She wouldn't tell me anything.
04:48But she became very strict.
04:50She forced me to practice piano and dance.
04:53She pushed me to study non-stop.
04:56Sometimes, I couldn't handle her pressure.
04:58Then she would hold me and break down in tears.
05:02Only a few months later, my mother passed away.
05:05It happened without any warning.
05:07She left a note filled with confessions.
05:09She wrote that she was the shame of the Anderson family.
05:13She wrote that she didn't deserve to live.
05:16I didn't believe a single word of that note.
05:18She couldn't be so cool as to leave me all alone in this world.
05:22I fought with the two servants.
05:24I screamed that they had forced her to do it.
05:27But they beat me until I passed out on the floor.
05:31When I woke up, my mother had already been cremated.
05:34All that was left was a jar of ashes.
05:37The forensic report was cold and final.
05:40It said my mom had brought all this upon herself.
05:43The servants mocked me.
05:46Stop struggling.
05:47She made a deal with your stepmother.
05:49She died to save the Anderson family's face.
05:52In exchange, you get to marry into a good family.
05:56Your stepmother is kind.
05:57She found you a husband.
05:59He's a butcher.
06:00For someone like you, this is a blessing.
06:03The Andersons won't feed you for another day.
06:05Tomorrow, you'll be handed over to that butcher.
06:07The servants laughed, feeling triumphant.
06:10They were finally free from guarding us.
06:12This time, I didn't scream or fight.
06:15The servants thought I had given up.
06:16But in the middle of the night, I waited for them to sleep.
06:20I took my mother's ashes and ran away.
06:22By the time I walked to the Anderson estate, it was broad daylight.
06:27I held my mother's urn tightly in my arms.
06:30I only wanted one thing.
06:32Justice from Thomas Anderson.
06:34I wanted to ask my father face to face.
06:37Why did he drive my mother to her death?
06:40But at the gate, I saw a massive line of wedding cars.
06:44It was incredibly grand.
06:46I heard the people around me whispering.
06:49Today was the engagement day for my dear sister, Sophia.
06:54She was becoming the fiancé of the CEO of the Crown Group.
06:58I saw my father standing at the door, beaming with joy.
07:02Business partners were showering him with flattery.
07:05His face was full of pride.
07:07My mother's death had no effect on him at all.
07:10To him, it was just one celebration after another.
07:14His prized daughter was marrying his top boss.
07:18No one could threaten his position now.
07:20Except for the CEO of the Crown Group.
07:23I stood in the crowd, holding the urn and watching silently.
07:28The servants shoved me aside as they cheered for the parade.
07:32Flower petals fell on me.
07:33The world felt like a sick joke.
07:36I clenched my fists until my nails dug into my palms.
07:40I made a silent vow.
07:42Now, I will get revenge for my mother.
07:44I will make Thomas and the entire Anderson family pay for their lives.
07:50Treasure Haven Auction is the city's largest underground auction house.
07:54They have all kinds of rare treasures from around the world.
07:58The best part is, they auction anything.
08:01No one knows who the boss is.
08:03But even the most powerful families dare not cause trouble here.
08:07Right now, I am standing on the top floor of Treasure Haven.
08:11I am looking at the manager.
08:13Miss, what would you like to buy?
08:15I'm not buying.
08:17I'm here to sell.
08:18What are you selling?
08:20Something worth 500 million.
08:23Can you handle that?
08:25The manager smiles.
08:28Absolutely.
08:29Please go on.
08:30I want to sell myself.
08:32The manager stopped smiling.
08:34Stop joking.
08:35My father, Thomas, is the second in command of the Crown Group.
08:39I am also the older sister of the CEO's fiance.
08:43Today, I am selling myself to bury my mother.
08:46This news will make you the talk of the entire financial world.
08:49This is a winning deal for you.
08:52Treasure Haven claims there is nothing you dare not auction.
08:55So, do you dare to take this deal?
08:58I use the simplest provocation.
09:00The manager looks at me deeply.
09:01After a while, he says...
09:03Wait here a moment, miss.
09:04He leaves, clearly to ask the mysterious boss.
09:07After a short time, the manager returns.
09:09We accept your deal.
09:11The auction starts in three days.
09:13Wait.
09:14Before the auction, I need Treasure Haven to do two things.
09:17I look at the manager.
09:18He says...
09:19Go ahead.
09:19First, spread the news.
09:21Make sure everyone knows my identity information.
09:24This spread through of every street and reach the Crown Group and the Andersons.
09:28Second, protect me for three days.
09:30No matter who pressures you.
09:32You cannot cancel the auction and you cannot hand me over.
09:35The manager nodded.
09:36Miss, you are starting a war with the Andersons family.
09:39Since we agreed, we will keep our word.
09:42I smile.
09:42Of course, it's a war to the death.
09:44Thomas is powerful and has many followers.
09:46But there are always people who want to drag you to hell.
09:49On the day of the auction, I will make Thomas the laughingstock of the city.
09:53More importantly, I will get justice for my mother.
09:55The news of me selling myself to bury my mother spread like wildfire.
10:00In less than half a day, the whole city was in an uproar.
10:03Along with the news, I leaked what happened 22 years ago.
10:06I told everyone how my mother was ruined by kidnappers.
10:09To save Thomas.
10:11Most people had forgotten after 22 years.
10:13But I remembered.
10:14My mother died because of that tragedy.
10:16Thomas, the one who benefited, was living a luxurious life.
10:20It was unfair.
10:21So I made sure the world knew.
10:23People started saying Thomas abused us.
10:25They said he wouldn't even pay for a funeral.
10:27They called him ungrateful and a traitor to his first life.
10:31Some even said the CEO's fiancé should have been me.
10:34The CEO was supposed to marry the eldest daughter of the executive.
10:38I am the eldest daughter.
10:40Sophia is just the child of a stepmother.
10:43Basically a bastard.
10:44Thomas was looking at his favorite news.
10:47He brought thugs with clubs to treasure even auction.
10:50He said he wanted to take me home.
10:52But his face said he wanted to kill me from the spot.
10:54Luckily, I was already hiding in a safe place.
10:57Thomas searched everywhere but couldn't find me.
10:59I had to leave in frustration.
11:01The manager told me Thomas left spies outside.
11:03The Anderson family was watching the building.
11:06Even Thomas' business rivals were waiting nearby.
11:08I wasn't surprised at all.
11:09I expected this.
11:10So I stayed hidden for three days.
11:12The manager also told me something interesting.
11:15The CEO skipped his first date with Sophia because of my scandal.
11:19I smiled.
11:20This is just the beginning.
11:21The Anderson's debt is finally coming due.
11:24Three days passed quickly.
11:25The auction hall was packed.
11:27And I appeared on stage as the only treasure of the night.
11:30I stood on the stage.
11:32The buyers were everywhere.
11:34They stared at me like I was a piece of merchandise.
11:37I stayed calm.
11:39I looked around and saw Thomas in the front row.
11:44He was boiling with rage.
11:48He looked like he wanted to kill me right there.
11:51I glanced past him without stopping.
11:55Then my eyes moved to the VIP room on the second floor.
11:59Manager told me the CEO of Crown Group was there.
12:03That was the first time I knew his name.
12:05Mr. William.
12:05The manager stepped forward.
12:07He didn't need to introduce me.
12:08Everyone already knew who I was.
12:09He announced the rules.
12:10Today would be a blind auction.
12:12The starting bid was $100 million.
12:14Everyone would write their price on a piece of paper.
12:16I would check them all.
12:17The highest bidder wins me.
12:18I saw the look in Thomas' eyes.
12:20He was determined to win.
12:22He stood up and shouted.
12:23I am this bastard's father.
12:25She is shame to our family.
12:26It's my fault for not raising her well.
12:27Bid two by win.
12:28I hope not to respect me and stay out of this.
12:30He glared at the crowd like he was taking names.
12:32I smiled.
12:33He was threatening them.
12:34Not many people would dare to bid now.
12:36But since it was a secret auction,
12:38maybe someone was brave enough.
12:39Half an hour later,
12:40the manager handed me the slips of paper.
12:44I opened them one by one.
12:46The elites gave their prices $100 million.
12:48$120 million.
12:50They were playing it safe for Thomas.
12:51They didn't want to offend him.
12:52I took a deep breath.
12:53Then I opened the last slit.
12:55Thomas, $200 million.
12:58That was the highest bid in the room.
12:59The manager looked at the bid.
13:01He whispered in my ear.
13:02We only recognize the highest price.
13:04We cannot protect you anymore.
13:06I knew what he meant.
13:06He thought if Thomas bought me,
13:08I was dead.
13:09I smiled and looked at the smug Thomas.
13:11The winner is Mr. Thomas.
13:13He bid $500 million.
13:15Thomas froze.
13:16He stood up to argue with me.
13:19I didn't give him a chance to speak.
13:21The second highest bid was $490 million.
13:25Only a $10 million difference.
13:27Thomas hesitated.
13:28He knew I was lying,
13:29but he didn't dare to gamble.
13:30He had to take me back and kill me.
13:32If someone else bought me,
13:34he would lose everything.
13:35He would lose control over me.
13:36So he had to swallow this bitter pill.
13:38His face turned blue with anger.
13:40He handed a $500 million check to the manager.
13:43Then he tried to grab me and drag me away.
13:46I broke free from his grip.
13:47I took my share of the money from the manager.
13:49The auction house takes 20%.
13:51I walked away with $400 million.
13:53Thomas glared at me.
13:54You bastard.
13:55I'll get that money back once we're home.
13:57I looked at him with contempt.
13:59Mr. Thomas,
14:00I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
14:02I want to donate $400 million to the Crown Group for charity.
14:05And I have a priceless treasure for you.
14:09Thomas went pale.
14:10He stared at me,
14:11yelling toward the VIP room.
14:13Don't believe this jerk's lies.
14:15But I knew the truth.
14:16William just got the group.
14:18The market was wobbly.
14:19He needed a big win to prove himself.
14:21He wanted to scare his enemies and show his power.
14:24But Thomas and other bosses refused to let go of control.
14:27They kept stopping William's plans.
14:29The company had no cash left.
14:31Everything was stuck.
14:33Giving $400 million?
14:34I was handing William a weapon.
14:37I knew he'd say yes.
14:39Suddenly, a smooth voice came from the VIP room.
14:42What treasure are you talking about?
14:44In a second, an assistant ran down to me.
14:46I gave him a list.
14:47It had all Crown Group bosses who just bid for me.
14:49They always told William they were broke.
14:51But here they were,
14:52spending millions on a girl.
14:53If they had money for me,
14:55they had money for the company.
14:56With this list,
14:57William could make them pay.
14:59It was just a piece of paper.
15:00But for William,
15:01it was exactly what he needed.
15:02A minute later,
15:03he spoke again.
15:04You're giving me everything.
15:07What do you want back?
15:08I knew this was my last chance
15:10to get away from Thomas.
15:11I only have one request.
15:13I want to be your personal secretary.
15:15It went exactly as I expected.
15:18The assistant spoke for William.
15:20Mr. William has made an exception.
15:22Evelyn is now his personal secretary.
15:25A car will arrive shortly to pick her up.
15:27I had finally taken this step.
15:29Thomas' face turned ugly instantly.
15:31He glared at me with pure hatred.
15:33How can this be allowed?
15:35Mr. Thomas wouldn't mind
15:36if the CEO takes Miss Evelyn away, right?
15:39You are just as insufferable as your mother.
15:42I didn't care at all.
15:44I looked at him calmly and spoke.
15:46Mr. Thomas,
15:47you used my mother's connections
15:48to get your high position.
15:50Are you going to show your ingratitude
15:51in front of everyone?
15:52Thomas turned pale with rage.
15:55You never should have lived this long.
15:56I should have ended you
15:58the moment you were born.
15:59William can't protect you forever.
16:00I can still end your life.
16:02I didn't care about his curses.
16:04They just sounded pathetic to me.
16:05I sat in William's car
16:07on the way to his estate.
16:08I felt truly happy.
16:10I won this round,
16:11but I knew it was partly lucky.
16:12Thomas was unprepared
16:13because I donated 400 million.
16:15William took me seriously.
16:17He gave me many privileges.
16:18That included living
16:19under the same roof as him.
16:21Even his fiancee,
16:22Sophia didn't have this treatment.
16:24I moved into a private guest room
16:25at the mansion.
16:26Half a day later,
16:27the head of administration arrived.
16:29He brought a row of servants
16:30to my room.
16:30Miss Evelyn,
16:31these servants
16:32are professionally trained.
16:34Please see if you like any of them.
16:36He was all smiles.
16:37I scanned the line of servants.
16:39Then I looked at him.
16:40Pick a few for me.
16:42I only have one rule.
16:43They can never be
16:44Sophia's or Thomas's eyes.
16:46If I find out,
16:48I will risk everything
16:49to take you down.
16:50Think carefully.
16:51Is Thomas' money more important
16:53or your life?
16:55Beads of sweat formed
16:56on his forehead.
16:57He kept his head low.
16:59I took a sip of my coffee.
17:00I spoke with chilling calmness.
17:03I'm not joking.
17:05If I catch you plotting against me,
17:07it's a fight to death.
17:08It went exactly as I expected.
17:11My words made the manager's face
17:13turn pale.
17:14Then he forced a smile.
17:16Miss Evelyn,
17:17you're overthinking it.
17:19How would I ever dare?
17:22I sipped my coffee
17:23and ignored him.
17:24The manager scanned the servants.
17:27He picked two of them.
17:28Then he led the others away.
17:31Soon,
17:32William gave me
17:33my first task.
17:34I was to be his date
17:36for tomorrow's charity gala.
17:38When I walked into the gala
17:40on William's arm,
17:41the room was already filled
17:43with powerful people.
17:44My posture was elegant.
17:46My smile was perfect.
17:48It was as if I had practiced it
17:50a million times.
17:52The socialites were waiting
17:54to laugh at me.
17:55They only knew me
17:56as the bastard
17:58locked in a villa.
17:59They thought I would be crude
18:01and uneducated.
18:03They never expected me
18:04to have such grace.
18:06This was all thanks
18:08to my mother's
18:09constant teaching.
18:10They were even more shocked
18:12by William.
18:13Why did he ignore
18:15his fiancée?
18:16Why was he inseparable
18:18from a secretary?
18:20The crowd started whispering.
18:22Rumors of a broken engagement
18:24were everywhere.
18:25Sophia was also at the gala.
18:28She looked like she wanted
18:29to eat me alive.
18:31Her eyes were full of hatred.
18:33She said,
18:36Sister,
18:38your mother died
18:39just three days ago.
18:41And you couldn't wait
18:42to crawl to William.
18:44Selling yourself
18:45for a funeral?
18:46What a pathetic act.
18:48I wonder if your mother
18:49can rest in peace
18:50knowing this.
18:51It wasn't surprising
18:52that Sophia was so desperate
18:54to insult me.
18:55Because I donated
18:56400 million to the group,
18:59Sophia was now being
19:00roasted over the fire.
19:02We are both
19:03Thomas' daughters.
19:05As the fiancée,
19:06should she also
19:07donate her fortune?
19:09If she doesn't,
19:10she looks selfish.
19:12If she does,
19:13it will break her heart
19:14to lose the money.
19:16This is exactly
19:18what I wanted.
19:19I want everyone
19:20in the Anderson family
19:21to live in agony.
19:23The other socialites
19:25were happy
19:25to watch the drama.
19:27They stood behind Sophia,
19:29enjoying the show.
19:30But I am not
19:32a pushover.
19:33I looked at Sophia
19:34coldly.
19:36How does a bastard
19:38like you
19:39have the nerve
19:39to shout here?
19:41I am Thomas'
19:42legal eldest daughter.
19:44And I am
19:44William's
19:45hand-picked
19:46personal secretary.
19:47I belong by
19:48William's side
19:49more than you do.
19:50You've been trying
19:51to get rid of me
19:52and keep me away
19:53from William.
19:54My words
19:55made Sophia's face
19:56turn blue.
19:57The rumors
19:58were already
19:59spreading.
20:00People said
20:01a bastard
20:02stole her sister's
20:03place to get engaged.
20:05William hadn't
20:06denied the breakup
20:07rumors for three
20:08whole days.
20:09This made her
20:10a total laughing stock.
20:12She was about
20:13to fight back,
20:14but William
20:15interrupted.
20:17That's enough,
20:18Sophia.
20:18Leave us now.
20:23Evelyn,
20:24stay here.
20:25I need to talk
20:26to you.
20:26Sophia was
20:27unwilling to leave,
20:29but she had
20:30no choice.
20:30She followed
20:31the other
20:31socialites
20:32out of the room.
20:33William led me
20:34to a private
20:34luxury lounge.
20:35He looked at me.
20:37Miss Evelyn,
20:37I know about
20:38your history,
20:38Wythe.
20:39You helped me
20:40so I can
20:41protect you
20:41as promised.
20:42But there is
20:43one condition.
20:45Stop trying
20:46to destroy Thomas.
20:48A war with him
20:49is bad for me
20:49and the Crown Group.
20:51I looked at him
20:52in the eye.
20:53I appreciate
20:54your kindness,
20:54Mr. William.
20:56But my war
20:57with the Andersons
20:58will only end
20:59when they are gone.
21:00William sighed.
21:03You have no power.
21:05How can you win?
21:06I stayed silent.
21:07My eyes were
21:08full of stubbornness.
21:10William turned
21:11his back to me.
21:13Evelyn,
21:13Thomas came to
21:14see me today.
21:15He asked me
21:15to kick you out.
21:16I walked up to him
21:17and stared
21:18into his eyes.
21:20And what did you say?
21:21He didn't answer
21:22me directly.
21:22I just took over
21:23this group.
21:24There is a lot
21:24of infighting.
21:26Thomas leads
21:27the executives.
21:29If he supports
21:30me, I can take
21:31full control.
21:31William looked
21:32troubled.
21:35He took a sip
21:35of his coffee.
21:38I gave a small laugh.
21:40You really want
21:40to agree with
21:41Thomas, don't you?
21:42But I just
21:43helped you.
21:44I donated
21:45four Bailawen
21:45to your sepsh.
21:47Everyone knows
21:47what I did.
21:49You know,
21:49you send
21:49Iroma Chooch,
21:51your own
21:51from in the
21:51Wadil's heart.
21:52William looked
21:53at me with
21:53surprise.
21:54Evelyn,
21:55you are very
21:56smart.
21:56You have
21:57planned every
21:58step since
21:58the auction.
22:00Since you're
22:01so clever,
22:02guess my answer.
22:03Did I agree?
22:05I shook
22:05my head.
22:07No,
22:07Mr.
22:08William.
22:08You didn't.
22:09William smiled
22:10at me.
22:11Those reasons
22:11aren't enough
22:12to make me reject
22:13Thomas.
22:14I could wait
22:15six months
22:16until people
22:16forget you.
22:17Then I could
22:18kick you out
22:18for any reason.
22:19I looked at him
22:20with firm eyes.
22:21Because you are
22:21the leader
22:22of this group.
22:24You cannot be
22:24controlled by
22:25others.
22:27You can rely
22:28on Thomas
22:28once.
22:30But what about
22:31the second time?
22:32Or the third?
22:33He said nothing
22:34and stared at me
22:35coldly.
22:35After a long silence,
22:37he suddenly burst
22:38into laughter.
22:38Evelyn,
22:39if it were
22:39possible,
22:40I would love
22:42for you to
22:42take Thomas'
22:43place.
22:44I could tell
22:44he was praising
22:45me,
22:45but in reality,
22:46he was feeling
22:47murderous.
22:48The CEO of
22:49the Crown Group
22:50never allows
22:50someone too smart
22:51to stay by his
22:52side.
22:53Mr.
22:54William,
22:54how about a
22:55deal?
22:56Go on.
22:58I will help
22:59you take
22:59Thomas down.
23:01Once he
23:02falls,
23:02I will leave
23:03the Crown Group.
23:04I will move
23:05abroad and live
23:06in secluded.
23:06My answer
23:08was exactly
23:08what he wanted
23:09to hear.
23:10But he still
23:10had doubts.
23:11I can agree
23:12with that.
23:14But do you
23:14know how much
23:15influence Thomas
23:15has?
23:17Do you really
23:18think you have
23:19the power
23:19to do it?
23:20I knew it,
23:21clearly.
23:21Thomas had
23:22spent years
23:23filling the
23:23company with
23:24his people.
23:25Almost everyone
23:26in the Anderson
23:26family held
23:27a key position.
23:28He was second
23:29only to William.
23:30Even William
23:31couldn't touch
23:31him for now.
23:32I remained
23:33calm and nodded.
23:34This would be
23:35a hard battle.
23:37But I had
23:38to win.
23:40William didn't
23:41waste any more
23:41words.
23:43Then I'll be
23:43waiting to see.
23:44Ever since I
23:45started living
23:45under the same
23:46roof as William,
23:47he came to my
23:48room every day
23:48for an hour.
23:49Most of the time,
23:50we were planning
23:51how to take down
23:51Thomas, but to
23:53others, I was
23:53with him day and
23:55night.
23:55I had become his
23:56most precious
23:57secret lover.
23:57I heard that
23:58Sophia had already
23:59smashed several
24:00sets of furniture,
24:00but she still
24:01couldn't vent her
24:02rage.
24:02I could tell
24:03William was
24:03leaking these
24:04rumors on
24:04purpose.
24:05He wanted to
24:05trigger Sophia
24:06and her father
24:07Thomas.
24:08The Anderson
24:08family couldn't
24:09take it anymore.
24:10Thomas announced
24:10that my mother
24:11and I were
24:11the shame of
24:12the family.
24:13He officially
24:13cut all ties
24:14with me.
24:15I only wanted
24:15to sneer at
24:16that.
24:16I was the one
24:17who thought the
24:17Andersons were
24:18a disgrace.
24:19I had already
24:20changed my name
24:20to my mother's
24:21maiden name.
24:22I am Evelyn Hunt.
24:23I am no longer
24:24that weak child.
24:26Thomas is about
24:26to make his move.
24:27I am ready for
24:28whatever he throws
24:29at me.
24:30William is hosting
24:31a family dinner
24:31tomorrow.
24:32He invited all
24:32the high-level
24:33executives to
24:34the estate.
24:35I asked William
24:35to let them
24:36bring their
24:36families.
24:37He was hesitant
24:37at first,
24:38but I told him
24:39this would help
24:39break their
24:40alliance.
24:40He finally
24:41agreed.
24:42The next day,
24:43Thomas finally
24:43arrived with
24:44that woman.
24:45She was the
24:45real monster
24:46who ordered
24:47the servants
24:47to torture us.
24:48Thomas was
24:49second only
24:49to one person
24:50in the group.
24:51The servants
24:51all bowed to
24:52him.
24:52He clearly
24:52loved the
24:53feeling.
24:53A smug look
24:54crawled onto
24:55his face.
24:55He even sat
24:56in the main
24:56chair.
24:57That seat
24:57belonged to
24:58William.
24:58I glanced
24:59at Thomas.
25:00Then I looked
25:00at the woman
25:00beside him.
25:01She wasn't
25:02young,
25:02but she was
25:03beautiful.
25:04Sophia definitely
25:05got her looks
25:05from her.
25:06Thomas saw
25:06me,
25:06and his eyes
25:07burned with
25:08rage.
25:08Then he
25:09started laughing.
25:11Don't expect
25:12me to ever
25:13call you
25:14my daughter
25:15again!
25:15Clearly
25:16don't respect
25:16Mr.
25:17William.
25:17You took
25:18his seat
25:18without even
25:19asking.
25:19Thomas froze.
25:20He gritted
25:21his teeth
25:21and got up
25:21from the
25:22chair.
25:23You
25:23bitch!
25:25Who do you
25:26think you
25:26are to speak
25:27here?
25:27This is a
25:28family dinner
25:28for executives
25:29and their
25:29legal families.
25:31As far as
25:32I know,
25:32you and
25:32Thomas aren't
25:33legally married.
25:34I immediately
25:34called the
25:35guards.
25:35Throw this
25:36woman out!
25:37Who dares?
25:38The guards
25:38hesitated.
25:39The woman
25:39looked at me
25:40with a smug
25:41face.
25:41She rolled
25:42up her
25:42sleeves to
25:42slap me.
25:43I caught
25:43her hand
25:44with one
25:44arm.
25:45Then I
25:45slapped her
25:45across the
25:46face.
25:46Thomas was
25:47livid.
25:48This is
25:48self-defense.
25:49Think
25:50carefully,
25:50Thomas.
25:51I am
25:51William's
25:51special
25:51Oceldi.
25:52Do you
25:52really want
25:53to be this
25:53reckless in
25:54front of
25:54everyone?
25:55Thomas spent
25:55his whole
25:56life chasing
25:57a reputation.
25:57He would
25:58never risk
25:58it for a
25:59woman.
25:59That woman
26:00thought she
26:00had won
26:01his heart.
26:01She thought
26:02she would
26:02beat my
26:02mother.
26:03Thomas loved
26:03nothing but
26:04himself and
26:05power.
26:05Thomas was
26:06shaking with
26:07anger, but
26:07he didn't
26:08strike me.
26:08I turned
26:09back and
26:09gave the
26:09woman another
26:10slap.
26:10She looked
26:11completely
26:11stunned, but
26:12compared to
26:13what they did
26:13to my
26:13mother, this
26:14was nowhere
26:15near enough.
26:16I held
26:16back before
26:17because of
26:17our blood,
26:18but after
26:19today, I
26:20will show
26:20you no
26:20mercy.
26:21Thomas,
26:22the day you
26:22drove my
26:23mother to
26:23suicide, it
26:25became a
26:25war to
26:25death.
26:26As soon as
26:26I said that,
26:27the executives
26:27turned their
26:28heads.
26:28They were
26:29clearly shocked
26:29by the
26:30news.
26:30For all
26:31these years,
26:31Thomas wore
26:32a mask of
26:33kindness to
26:33win people
26:34over, but
26:34if he could
26:35kill his
26:35own wife, he
26:36would never
26:37care about
26:37his loyal
26:37followers.
26:38Thomas didn't
26:39answer me.
26:39He just
26:40rushed out
26:40with that
26:41woman.
26:42Half an
26:43hour later, a
26:44complaint was
26:44sent to
26:45William's
26:45inbox.
26:46William found
26:46me soon
26:47after.
26:47He was
26:48very calm.
26:49Evelyn, you
26:50went too
26:50far this
26:51time.
26:52I have to
26:53punish you.
26:55I'm
26:55suspending
26:56you for
26:56one month.
26:58I nodded.
26:59I am
27:00ready for
27:01the punishment.
27:02William looked
27:02at me deeply.
27:04You know, we
27:05are at a
27:05critical moment.
27:07I need
27:07Thomas to
27:08lower his
27:08guard.
27:09I stared at
27:09the children
27:09playing freely
27:10in the estate.
27:11William looked
27:12at them too.
27:13To control a
27:13giant like the
27:14crown group, you
27:15must calculate
27:15every move.
27:16If you want a
27:17peaceful life, I
27:18can send you
27:18abroad now.
27:19Find a place
27:20peace and
27:21live in peace.
27:22Ever since
27:23the first day, I
27:24felt he treated
27:25me differently.
27:26Why are you
27:27doing this?
27:28A CO doesn't
27:29offer his
27:29subordinates a
27:30quiet life.
27:31You might not
27:32believe me.
27:33I see a sense
27:34of freedom in
27:35you.
27:36I've been
27:36trapped by
27:37fame and
27:37wealth for
27:38too long.
27:39But you are
27:40different.
27:41You have so
27:42many possibilities.
27:43Since I was
27:44suspended for a
27:45month, I didn't
27:45have to show up
27:46at the crown
27:46group.
27:47I planned to
27:48rest at
27:48William's estate.
27:49I needed to
27:49think carefully
27:50about my next
27:51move for
27:52revenge.
27:52But I didn't
27:53expect trouble
27:54on the very
27:54first day.
27:55When I returned
27:56to my room,
27:57Sophia was
27:58waiting for me.
27:59She had
27:59brought a
28:00group of
28:00people with
28:00her.
28:02Evelyn, you
28:02monster!
28:03She tried to
28:04rush at me and
28:04fight, but her
28:05maid held her
28:05back.
28:06Miss Sophia, you
28:07are William's
28:07fiance.
28:08There's no
28:08need to get
28:09your own hands
28:10dirty.
28:10Sophia gave a
28:11smug smile, but
28:12her joy didn't
28:13last three seconds.
28:14I looked at
28:15her in the eye.
28:16Do you want
28:17to get slapped
28:17like her?
28:18Sophia's face
28:19twisted.
28:20You think you've
28:21won because
28:21William favors
28:22you?
28:22Let me tell
28:23you, our
28:23wedding will
28:24happen as
28:25planned.
28:25When that
28:26day comes, I'll
28:26be the first
28:27to kick you
28:27out of this
28:28estate.
28:28After her
28:29little speech,
28:29she left
28:30with her
28:30servants.
28:31I heard that
28:32for the rest
28:32of the month,
28:33Sophia was
28:34busy.
28:35She used
28:35every excuse
28:36to visit
28:37William's
28:37office every
28:38day.
28:38In the past,
28:39she never
28:40would have
28:40done that.
28:41She was
28:41proud of
28:42being Thomas'
28:43daughter.
28:43She looked
28:44down on
28:44everyone else.
28:45She used
28:46to think
28:46visiting
28:47William's
28:47office was
28:48beneath her.
28:49Now, she
28:50was desperate
28:51enough to do
28:51exactly that.
28:52But today, she
28:54asked William to
28:55have dinner with
28:55her.
28:56William rejected
28:57her flat out.
28:58Instead, at
28:59exactly 8 p.m., he
29:01returned to the
29:01estate, and he
29:02walked straight
29:03into my room.
