00:00Julian gave me this card.
00:03Frozen?
00:04He insisted I use his card for my birthday.
00:08I was so touched.
00:10But now he was gone.
00:11He'd ignored of my calls.
00:16Mrs. Pierce, do you have another card?
00:19You know, we don't run tags here.
00:21You remember what happened last month, don't you?
00:24Last month, Julian's secretary had run up a huge bill on his card.
00:29I'd frozen hers.
00:30A terrible realization hit me.
00:33Was this Julian's revenge for her?
00:36Leather shoes clicked at the entrance.
00:39Julian's arm wrapped tightly around Amelia.
00:42A crowd of socialites followed behind.
00:44She was smirking at me.
00:45You love watching people unable to pay, don't you?
00:48Well, now you get to experience it yourself.
00:51How are you going to pay when you can't?
00:55I heard she grew up poor and only caught Mr. Pierce's eye by love.
00:59Good luck.
01:00Now her husband brings his new girl to watch her get humiliated.
01:05This is what you get when you sleep your way to the top just for being pretty.
01:08How long does a woman's youth really last?
01:10Once a billionaire finds a younger toy, her luxury days end.
01:14Just as I thought, it was a trap.
01:17To avenge his little secretary.
01:20Don't worry, Amelia.
01:22However Serena humiliated you, I'll make her pay ten times over.
01:26Thank you, Julian.
01:27She grabbed an expensive red wine bottle and smashed it at my feet.
01:31You useless bitch!
01:33Julian's paying for me now.
01:34I can smash all I want.
01:36But you?
01:36You're done.
01:38Don't glare like you want to kill me.
01:40If you have money, just pay and leave.
01:43Anyone who helps Serena pays the price.
01:45They go against me.
01:47Against the Pierce family.
01:51Mr. Pierce means business.
01:53He loves his secretary more than his wife.
01:55I thought it was just when he means it.
01:56With his threat, who dare help her?
01:59I snapped.
02:01Julian Pierce!
02:02Are you really humiliating me over this cheap trot?
02:09Julian scoffed.
02:10He slapped me hard across the face.
02:12That's right.
02:13I stared at him, utterly stunned.
02:15He pulled out a handkerchief.
02:16Wiped the hand he'd just used to slap me.
02:19Three years of marriage.
02:20We were called the perfect couple.
02:22Once, he'd chased me endlessly.
02:24At our wedding, he swore loyalty.
02:26Promised never to betray me.
02:28Look at us now.
02:29Three years.
02:30All vows.
02:31All memories.
02:31Torn to shreds by his cold cruelty.
02:34Just like they said.
02:35You're nothing but a pretty face married to money.
02:38No dignity at all.
02:40You knew how much I dole on my secretary.
02:43But you still pushed your luck.
02:45You clearly don't know your place.
02:48Serena.
02:49If you can't pay this bill today.
02:51I'll have the manager strip you naked and throw you out.
02:54Mr. Pierce is ruthless.
02:56Stripping his own wife just for his new girl.
02:57She won't be his wife much longer.
02:59After tonight, she's nobody.
03:00Let's shut up and watch the show.
03:04My face burned.
03:06I had no money.
03:07Only the haute couture dress I was wearing.
03:10Even worse, my phone was dead.
03:12Then I realized Julian planned every detail of this trap.
03:16It's getting late, Serena.
03:17The restaurant wants payment so they can close.
03:20Don't tell me you have no money.
03:22Oh, what are you going to do?
03:24If you can't pay, they'll hold you.
03:26Just like you did to me.
03:29Amelia pulled out a slim cigarette and lit it.
03:31She blew smoke right into my face.
03:33Looking at her arrogant expression, I raised my hand to slap her.
03:37Serena, stop it right now!
03:38Julian quickly ordered his bodyguards.
03:40They shoved me hard to the ground.
03:42I glared at him, eyes red with rage.
03:46What?
03:47So you can hurt others?
03:49But they can't fight back?
03:51The Pierce groups rise.
03:52Three years, almost vertical.
03:55Everyone called it Julian's genius.
03:57No one knew about the calls I'd made.
03:58The doors I'd opened.
03:59Even the city's underworld had given the Pierce's a wide berth.
04:03I am the sole heir to the Sinclair family.
04:07The most powerful of the East Coast four legacy families.
04:12I gave you your chance, Julian.
04:14Now, time to collect some interest.
04:16I never expected a man's heart could change so fast.
04:19Julian, are you really going to make me leave this restaurant in shame?
04:23Of course.
04:25Do you think I did all this for nothing?
04:27Amelia stepped forward, punched me hard in the face.
04:30You have no right to freeze my card.
04:32Either you get locked up for the bill, or you lose everything you have.
04:36One way you keep your dignity, the other way, you don't.
04:40Hurry up and choose.
04:41I can't wait.
04:42I clenched my fists and looked at Julian.
04:44All love in my eyes turned to cold ice.
04:47Fine.
04:48If this is what you want, the Pierce family's bankruptcy is all on you.
04:57Has she lost her mind?
04:58Does she think she's some hidden billionaire?
05:03She's gone crazy.
05:06Julian glared at me in disgust.
05:08He picked up a plate and threw it at me.
05:12Stop talking nonsense.
05:14Bankrupt my family?
05:16Are you even worthy?
05:18You should worry about surviving tonight.
05:21Manager!
05:22The manager stepped forward with bouncers.
05:25He looked down at me coldly.
05:27Mrs. Pierce?
05:29Cash or someone covering the tab?
05:31Out of professionalism, he hadn't humiliated me fully.
05:34I scanned the room.
05:35I finally locked eyes with a female business partner I often worked with.
05:42Serena, stay away!
05:43I don't dare pay for you!
05:44Don't be afraid.
05:45I'm not asking you to pay.
05:47Just borrow me your phone.
05:50She's still putting on a show.
05:52Who in this city dares bring her money?
05:56Let her call.
05:58Give her 30 minutes.
05:59No money by then?
06:01She'll regret ever stepping foot in here.
06:05Following Amelia's lead, the business partner handed me her phone.
06:09Half an hour.
06:10Bring cash.
06:11With 10 minutes left, Amelia lost her patience and stood up.
06:15I'm so stupid!
06:16She doesn't have any friends!
06:18Manager, have your guys break her legs first.
06:21No one dares stand up to the Pierce family.
06:23Stop wasting time!
06:25Wait.
06:25There are still 10 minutes.
06:29Bullshit!
06:30If I don't have the money, I'll crawl and bark like a dog.
06:33You said it.
06:35Don't forget.
06:36So what if I did?
06:37The whole place is a witness.
06:40This is better than a movie!
06:42Finally!
06:42She's getting what she deserves!
06:45As the 10 minutes neared, a fat man reached out to groat me.
06:52Don't touch me!
06:56Look at her, Mr. Pierce.
06:59Can we take her now?
07:05Why not?
07:08She can't pay.
07:10Do whatever you want with her.
07:12Then I'm going first!
07:14Men lunged at me.
07:16Don't touch me.
07:18Pin her down.
07:19Hold her tight.
07:21Let the gentleman handle it.
07:22I looked at Julian.
07:23My heart turned to ice.
07:25We were still married.
07:26Yet he let men defile me right in front of him.
07:29He didn't care.
07:31Don't look at me like that.
07:32I won't help you.
07:33As long as Amelia is happy, that's all that matters.
07:37Come here, beautiful.
07:39I'll pay your tab.
07:40No, no, come with me.
07:41I'm richer.
07:43You dare laugh at me?
07:45Soon, you'll all be the joke.
07:47Strip her!
07:48Time's up!
07:49Not another second for her!
07:52Heavily armed bodyguards in black suits flooded in.
07:55They took down Julian's guards in seconds.
07:58Right behind them was Victoria Thorne, CEO of the city's biggest investment bank.
08:05Mrs. Sinclair, I brought the funds.
08:07I hope I'm not late.
08:08Julian, Amelia, everyone jumped up.
08:11Their faces twisted in confusion.
08:15Mrs. Thorne, what are you doing here?
08:17You're a VIP.
08:18How could Serena summon you?
08:20Amelia rubbed her eyes, convinced she was hallucinating.
08:24It's really Victoria Thornton?
08:26Victoria ignored them all, walked straight to me.
08:29Mrs. Sinclair, Mr. Sterling sent me to fix this first.
08:33He's on his way.
08:35She noticed my torn dress and disheveled state.
08:38Her head snapped toward the crowd.
08:39Who dared disrespect Mrs. Sinclair?
08:42The room went dead silent.
08:44The Pierces were the city's richest.
08:50But Victoria's empire could crush them overnight.
08:54Overnight, when the Pierces claimed the city's top spot.
08:58They had no idea.
09:00The secret force behind them was the trophy wife they looked down on.
09:03I did it because Julian once promised-
09:05I'll be the city's richest man, so my wife can spend whatever she wants.
09:11Now everything's changed.
09:13Faced with Victoria's fury, no one dared seek.
09:16Amelia's face turned pale, lips trembling.
09:18Serena?
09:19She really got someone to bring money?
09:21Our bet still stood.
09:23I paid the bill.
09:26No!
09:26This can't be real!
09:28How's the legendary Victoria Thorn friends with her?
09:30Did you order this humiliation of Mrs. Sinclair?
09:33Julian rushed to support her.
09:35Don't fear.
09:36I'm here.
09:37Emboldened by Julian, Amelia steadied herself.
09:40That's right.
09:41Julian's the city's richest man.
09:43I fear you, but Julian doesn't.
09:45I don't know your connection to Victoria Thorn, but let's be clear.
09:49In this city, the Pierce's call the shots.
09:52Miss Thorn, back off.
09:54This is family business.
09:56None of your concern.
09:57I beat you to the top once.
09:59I can run you out of this city for good.
10:01Big words, Mr. Pierce.
10:03If not for Miss Sinclair's respect, your sad little Pierce family would have been eaten by syndicates years ago.
10:09You owe her everything.
10:11Blind fool, you just threw away your blessing.
10:15Julian scoffed loud, refused to believe a word.
10:18I was exhausted.
10:19I had no desire to bicker with them.
10:22The bill's paid now, Amelia.
10:25Remember your vow?
10:26Let's not pick sides yet.
10:27We don't know who's the final boss, but we can enjoy the show.
10:29Exactly.
10:29Work is stressful enough.
10:30A front road seat to this drama is priceless.
10:32You cheap bitch!
10:33Don't push your luck!
10:35So what if I said it?
10:36What are you gonna do?
10:39Julian's in charge here.
10:41You think Victoria's backing you?
10:42I'll break my promise?
10:44I spit on you!
10:50Julian smiled wide at her, reached out, stroked her cheek, treated her like a treasure.
10:56Victoria frowned, shot a sharp look at a guard.
10:59The guard moved fast.
11:01One brutal punch.
11:03Amelia dropped at my feet like a dog.
11:05The guard growled.
11:06Give your word, the galled.
11:08Follow Mrs. Sinclair's order.
11:09Bite the meat.
11:10Crawl out barking.
11:11Another guard brought a silver platter.
11:13Raw, bloody beef on it.
11:15Amelia gagged at the sight.
11:16Julian!
11:17Save me!
11:19I'd rather die than crawl like this!
11:26Julie!
11:27Julian!
11:28Her screams made Julian furious.
11:31Get her back!
11:33Victoria's guards laughed with Julian.
11:35Seconds later, Julian's men groaned on the floor.
11:38Normal bouncers stood no chance against Victoria's trained operatives.
11:44Amelia's face paled.
11:45Sweat rolled down her forehead.
11:49Victoria Thalen!
11:50You overstepped your bounds!
11:52I'll make you disappear from this city overnight!
11:55Victoria paid no mind to his threats.
11:58I await your order, Mrs. Sinclair.
12:01What's wrong?
12:02Can't handle a taste of your own medicine?
12:04Staring straight at Julian, I turn to Victoria.
12:07Have your lawyers draft a divorce agreement.
12:10Now.
12:11Serena, you're ridiculous!
12:13I'm the one initiating divorce!
12:15Who do you think you are?
12:17Sign the papers.
12:18Then you'll know if I have the right.
12:20Oh, and...
12:21Your father's coming.
12:23He'll teach you a lesson.
12:24Be quiet!
12:25Why would he teach me a lesson because of you?
12:29You're bluffing.
12:30I don't know your trick with Victoria.
12:32But she can't protect you.
12:34Forever.
12:37As we spoke, Victoria's legal team arrived with the divorce papers.
12:41I signed calmly and handed the pen to Julian.
12:43He signed without hesitation.
12:45Since the divorce is finalized, I have no obligation to continue your empire.
12:48In 30 minutes, I will give the order.
12:51The Pierce Corporee's stocks will plummet until you are completely bankrupt.
13:00Serena, done bluffing?
13:02You stalled earlier.
13:04Now someone paid your bill, you're bluffing again?
13:06You think Victoria can help you bankrupt us?
13:09Do you know why she's only second in this city?
13:11Because the Pierce crush her.
13:15Serena, for the sake of our past, I'll leave you with the last bit of dignity.
13:25I looked at Julian with disgust.
13:28Amelia hadn't even crawled out yet.
13:29He wanted me to kneel to her.
13:31I checked my watch.
13:32Let out a sharp scoff.
13:33Call your father.
13:35Ask if Pierce stuck.
13:36He pulled out his phone.
13:38Before he dialed, the restaurant doors flew open.
13:41You fool!
13:42How could I raise such a foolish boy?
13:45Serena, you hid it so well.
13:47You're Serena Sinclair, sole heir of the Sinclairs.
13:50Julian's eyes blew wide.
13:51He grabbed my arm, frantic.
13:53Serena Sinclair?
13:56Your real name is Serena Sinclair?
13:58The reclusive East Coast Serena Sinclair?
14:01I shook off his grip coldly.
14:03Victoria handed me a sterilized wipe.
14:05I cleaned my arm.
14:06If he wasn't crazy, he remembered.
14:08An hour ago, he'd wiped his hand with a handkerchief.
14:11Dad, what's going on?
14:13That's exactly who she is.
14:15You idiot.
14:17You offended her for this cheap slut.
14:20Oh my god, it's real!
14:21All real!
14:22Serena, is Serena Sinclair?
14:24We mocked her, called her trash, we're doomed!
14:26Desperate, terrified cries filled the air.
14:29Everyone prayed, begging I'd forget their faces, their cruelty.
14:33But I'd said it before.
14:34Who laughs at my expense will become the joke.
14:36Richard moved first.
14:37He lunged, kicking Amelia hard.
14:39You think you can challenge Miss Sinclair?
14:42You tried to tear her dress?
14:45Made her crawl and eat raw meat?
14:48Do you even know what you've done?
14:50She looked to Julian, eyes desperate, begging.
14:53The only reason the pierce rose to the top is because of Mrs. Sinclair.
14:57I didn't know it first, until I saw her at the East Coast Summit, sitting at the head table, leading
15:03billionaires.
15:04She's a titan.
15:05And you, you ruined it all for a useless fling.
15:08Then Richard checked his phone.
15:10His face went pale.
15:16I told you, I told you, I can lift you up, and I can drag you back into the mud.
15:20Richard slapped Julian hard.
15:22What are you standing there for?
15:23Kneel!
15:24Beg Mrs. Sinclair for mercy!
15:26You want to kill our family?
15:29Julian snapped out of his trance.
15:31He turned, kicked Amelia hard in the face.
15:34He screamed.
15:35Julian's remaining guards rushed over, pinned Amelia to the floor.
15:39Amelia sobbed hysterically, tears.
15:41Julian, let me go!
15:43It wasn't my idea!
15:44You wanted to help me get revenge-
15:46Julian roared.
15:47Shut up!
15:48You seduced me!
15:50Julian Pierce, you coward!
15:52You think punishing me will make her forgive you?
15:55Delusional.
15:56Your family's finished!
15:58She was right.
15:59Even if Julian punished her, I'd never let the pierces off the hook.
16:03But father and son didn't get it.
16:04No, she's just angry.
16:06She loves me.
16:07She hid her identity to stay with me three years.
16:09She loves me!
16:10What are you waiting for?
16:12She won't crawl?
16:13Break her legs!
16:14Beat this bitch until she does-
16:16They kicked and punched Amelia hard.
16:18Targeted her joints so she couldn't stand.
16:20Amelia's screams pierced the restaurant.
16:22The onlookers shrank back in terror.
16:24I'll crawl!
16:25I'll bite the meat and crawl!
16:26Make them stop!
16:27Sobbing, broken, she bit the raw, bloody beef.
16:31Crawled out the restaurant doors.
16:32Amelia gone.
16:33I got ready to leave.
16:34My dear wife, where are you going?
16:36I punished Amelia.
16:37Amelia, I'll never let anyone humiliate you again.
16:41Have some self-respect.
16:42Stop calling me your wife.
16:43We just signed divorce papers.
16:45Forgot?
16:47Next time we meet, address me properly.
16:50I shook off his hand.
16:51The restaurant doors opened again.
16:53My childhood friend and former fiancé, Sebastian Sterling, strolled in.
16:58Serena.
17:00Look, he called, glaring at Julian with disdain.
17:03This is the guy you turned down my marriage for?
17:06Sebastian's arrival triggered another collective gasp.
17:08They'd never seen my true face, but everyone knew Sebastian Sterling.
17:12One of the world's richest young billionaires.
17:14Tall, striking, old-money elegance oozing off him.
17:18Next to Julian?
17:19The contrast was brutal.
17:21Sebastian's appearance hit Julian with crushing panic.
17:23Divorced after everything he'd done.
17:26Winning me back was impossible.
17:28Julian choked out.
17:30Serena, who is he?
17:33Who am I?
17:35I'm her fiancé.
17:36Now that you're divorced, I won't let her marry anyone else.
17:41I shook my head with a helpless smile.
17:43That was Sebastian.
17:45Straightforward, arrogant, never hiding his heart.
17:47Let's go.
17:48I haven't seen my parents in years.
17:50Serena, what about the Pierce Corp?
17:52What am I supposed to do?
17:53I paused, didn't turn around.
17:55Exactly what I said earlier.
17:56As for you, we're divorced.
17:58Your fate?
17:59None of my business.
18:00Julian finally broke down.
18:01A choked sob escaped him.
18:03If I hadn't humiliated you for Amelia,
18:05if I'd stopped them halfway,
18:08would you have forgiven me?
18:10If I wasn't Serena Sinclair,
18:11would you have realized you were wrong?
18:14Would you have punished her?
18:15I didn't stay another second.
18:16With Sebastian by my side,
18:18I walked out into the night.
