00:00I stood outside the emergency room, shaking all over. Grandpa was inside, life or death unknown.
00:06And not far away, my husband Caleb was shielding his female secretary.
00:10Who gave you the nerve to let your family move into my grandpa's house and to push him?
00:16Sylvia, why are you yelling at her? I told Mordecai's family they could stay there. The house was empty anyway.
00:22I looked at him, this man I'd supported for five years.
00:25His mistress' family pushed my grandfather to the ground. I directly ordered the security and the butler.
00:31Throw these two out. Don't let them anywhere near the emergency room.
00:36The security grabbed his arms and dragged him out.
00:39Sylvia Ironwood! I am your husband! Let go of me!
00:4348 hours ago, a text notification. $10,000 charged to my private card.
00:48I stared at the screen. My blood ran cold because the charge was from a hospital.
00:53And neither my husband Caleb nor I have been sick.
00:57I rushed to the hospital to check the rectum. The doctor is my childhood friend.
01:02He checked the info and pulled me aside. His eyes looked a little strange.
01:07Sylvia, taking birth control pills all the time is bad for your health.
01:12What?
01:13The other day, I saw your husband Caleb with his female secretary picking up medicine.
01:18Too bad I was busy and didn't get to say hello.
01:20I was stunned. Not to mention, I've been on a business trip for over half a year.
01:26And I've never taken birth control pills.
01:29For some reason, I opened Caleb's female secretary's social media.
01:33A photo of a man and woman naked in each other's arms came into my view.
01:37The caption said,
01:48I took a screenshot and posted it in the company group chat.
01:56I wrote,
01:57Mr. Caleb is so lucky, is she better than me?
02:00Then I tagged Caleb and his female secretary.
02:02The big house was empty. It was midnight.
02:05Caleb still wasn't home.
02:06I sat by the bed, waiting for most of the night.
02:09I just waited for Caleb to give me an explanation.
02:11But I didn't expect to wait until five in the morning.
02:15Caleb called one after another like crazy.
02:18Maybe it was my pride, but I didn't answer any of his calls.
02:21At the end of the day, if Caleb just gave me a good solution, we could still make it work.
02:26But then the door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.
02:29Caleb stormed and yelling,
02:30Sylvie, what the hell is wrong with you?
02:33Are you looking for trouble?
02:35That was Mordiakai's boyfriend.
02:38What do you mean posting that in the group chat?
02:40What are people supposed to detherently think?
02:43And why did you tell your dad to pull the funding?
02:45Do you know this is a critical time for Thornpact to negotiate a partnership?
02:49Can you stop messing up for once?
02:51His new female secretary, Mordiakai, followed behind him.
02:54She grabbed Caleb's arm and spoke pitifully.
02:56Mrs. Ironwood, I think you missed her stood.
03:00Please don't blame Caleb.
03:03It's all my fault.
03:04Hearing this, Caleb got even angrier.
03:07He walked up and pointed his finger at my nose.
03:09Sylvie Ironwood, you apologize to Mordiakai in the group chat right now
03:13and tell your dad to restore the investment.
03:17Otherwise, just wait and see.
03:19Looking at Caleb acting so bossy in front of me, I let out a cold laugh.
03:23Guess I've been too nice to him all these years.
03:26Now he can't even tell who's in charge.
03:28He forgot who gave him everything.
03:30So tell me, why did you buy so much birth control at the hospital?
03:34Eat them like candy?
03:37You?
03:38He didn't expect me to find out.
03:40He got angry from embarrassment.
03:41But thinking about the company, he stayed quiet for a few seconds and looked up at me.
03:46So what do you want?
03:47I lowered my eyes.
03:49Fire, Mordiakai.
03:51Cut her off completely.
03:53If I see her again, Thorn Pack can go bankrupt.
03:56Caleb and I were set up by the elders.
03:58Later, his family went bankrupt.
04:00But my family values loyalty, so we kept the engagement.
04:03Honestly, I don't care what you do behind my back.
04:08But if you do it in front of me and embarrass me, then sorry.
04:13Let's see who can outplay who.
04:14Caleb pressed his lips together, looked at Mordiakai beside him, and nodded.
04:18Not long after, Caleb sent me a resignation contract.
04:21I smiled.
04:22If Caleb had any brains, he wouldn't do anything stupid again.
04:26A message popped up on my phone.
04:28Tomorrow is my fifth wedding anniversary with Caleb.
04:31Thinking about that, I ordered a cake and texted him.
04:34Come home for dinner tomorrow night.
04:36At the end of the day, life has to go on.
04:38I guess I was giving him a way out.
04:40But the next day, the chef made a table full of food.
04:42I waited until the food got cold, but he never came home.
04:45I checked the time.
04:46He should have been off work already.
04:48Then his message popped up.
04:50Working late today.
04:51Eat without me.
04:52We'll celebrate tomorrow.
04:53Honestly, after what happened, it was hard not to be suspicious.
04:56I packed some food and drove straight to the company.
04:58The office lights were on.
05:00It really looked like everyone was still there.
05:02Maybe I was wrong about Caleb.
05:04I figured I'd just drop off the food and leave.
05:07But when I got upstairs, I heard a lot of noise.
05:11Congratulations to Mordiak for getting promoted to France Vice President.
05:15I stood in the hallway with the food container.
05:17I could hear all the noise coming from the office area.
05:20Mr. Caleb is so generous.
05:21That's a fully loaded Porsche 911.
05:23Vice President Mordecai, this promotion gift is way too expensive.
05:26A custom Porsche.
05:28Mr. Caleb really treats Vice President Mordecai well.
05:31Just then, my phone buzzed.
05:33A bank alert popped up on my screen.
05:353 million yuan has been spent from your account.
05:393 million.
05:42I stared at the message and almost laughed out of anger.
05:45Almost at the same time, Caleb's message popped up.
05:48The pack has an urgent project that needs funds.
05:51I used 3 million.
05:53I'll need to transfer another 2 million later for the final payment.
05:57I looked at that message, then listened to the cheering inside.
06:00I called my assistant right away.
06:03Cancel Caleb's secondary card.
06:05Just then, Mordecai's happy voice came through.
06:07Mr. Caleb, how about buying that Patek Philly watch too?
06:10Caleb laughed.
06:12You little money lover.
06:14Fine, I'll buy it for you on the official site right now.
06:18The cheering inside got even louder.
06:20But a few minutes later, it went silent.
06:23Huh?
06:23Mr. Caleb, this card doesn't seem to work.
06:25How is that possible?
06:27Caleb's voice sounded confused.
06:29Then his tone got angry.
06:31It must be an issue with the bank.
06:33I heard him walk over to the side quickly.
06:35Then my phone started buzzing like crazy.
06:37I pressed the answer button.
06:39Caleb's furious voice came through right away.
06:42Sylvia Ironwood!
06:44What do you mean by this?
06:46Why did you cancel my card?
06:49Reactivate it right now!
06:50Do you know how important this partnership is?
06:53The office lights were bright and cold.
06:55My voice didn't tremble at all.
06:57Keep the card active?
06:59For what?
07:00So you can buy toys for your mistress?
07:02Then, the typical excuses of a guilty man.
07:06Sylvia Ironwood?
07:07Are you insane?
07:11What mistress?
07:12My partners are right here.
07:14Stop being so paranoid for once.
07:16I laughed.
07:17It was a cold, dry sound.
07:18What partner needs you to buy them a car?
07:21Caleb, is that a brain in your neck?
07:23Or just a tumor?
07:24He was shaking.
07:25I could hear it.
07:27Unreasonable!
07:28Reactivate my card!
07:29Now!
07:30If this deal fails, it's on you!
07:34I didn't waste another word.
07:35I hung up.
07:36Blocked his number.
07:37I hadn't been home long when he burst in.
07:39And he brought Mordecai with him.
07:41He stood over me, screaming like a madman.
07:43Sylvia!
07:44You think you're so tough?
07:45You dare hang up on me?
07:47You dare block me?
07:49The entitlement was honestly shocking.
07:52Caleb, my voice was pure ice.
07:54Did you forget what I said?
07:56Get that thing out of my sight.
07:58Or, Thorn Pack goes bankrupt today.
08:01Caleb laughed and crossed his arms.
08:03He looked down at me with total contempt.
08:06Still acting like a princess, Sylvia?
08:09Still acting like you run the world?
08:11Let me tell you something.
08:14I just got a call from your father.
08:16The Ironwood Pack is finished!
08:19The Ironwood Pack is finished!
08:22Your funds are cut.
08:24You're bankrupt.
08:25You have nothing left.
08:27I smiled.
08:28They got fake news.
08:29My parents just won a partnership worth billions.
08:32Only he thought they were bankrupt.
08:34There was a strange satisfaction on Caleb's face.
08:37Your funds are cut.
08:38You're bankrupt.
08:40You have nothing left.
08:44Get it?
08:45You're nothing now.
08:47Just a broke loser.
08:49From now on, you and your family depend on us, Thorn Pack.
08:53Everything you eat, wear, use,
08:56you'll have to beg me, Caleb, for it.
08:58Mordecai chimed in right away.
09:00There was obvious pride on her face.
09:02Sylvia!
09:03You made me look so stupid in front of my co-wakers!
09:06See how things are now?
09:08Useless!
09:08I was stunned.
09:09My parents had just announced in the Ironwood family group chat
09:12that they closed a huge strategic partnership worth billions across Europe and Asia.
09:16But now he's saying they're bankrupt?
09:18But I didn't argue back right away.
09:20I just looked at Caleb's face, twisted with excitement and cruelty,
09:23and suddenly he fell like a stranger.
09:26So?
09:27My voice unreadable.
09:28You think you can walk all over me now?
09:31Do whatever you want?
09:34Even bring your side pick to my face and show off?
09:37Caleb crossed his arms with me.
09:38Still talking tough when you're about to die?
09:42Sylvia, let me tell you,
09:44if you get on your knees and beg me,
09:47make me and Mordecai happy,
09:49I might throw you a bone for old time's sake.
09:52Otherwise, you'll be out on the street.
09:56Seeing his smug face, so sure I was helpless.
09:59All the anger and disappointment from the whole night finally exploded.
10:02I didn't hold back either.
10:04Caleb, you think being shameless is a talent?
10:07How long do you think you've got left to act so high and mighty?
10:10Shut up!
10:11Caleb raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face.
10:14The sharp sound echoed in the living room.
10:16My head turned to the side.
10:18My face was burning.
10:19That slap shattered the last bit of patience I had for him.
10:23Without hesitation, I raised my hand and slapped him back,
10:26harder and cleaner.
10:28This slap was so hard,
10:30Caleb stumbled back a few steps and hit the coffee table.
10:33He covered his face in disbelief, staring at me.
10:35Caleb touched his quickly swelling cheek and gritted his teeth.
10:38Sylvia, you dare hit me?
10:41Just wait.
10:42I'll make you regret this.
10:43I shook my slightly numb hand and looked at him without expression.
10:47I'll wait.
10:48Let's see who regrets it in the end.
10:51Caleb gave me one last hateful look,
10:53grabbed Mordecai who had gone pale and slammed the door behind them.
10:57I walked to the liquor cabinet,
10:59poured myself a glass of strong liquor and downed it in one go.
11:02That night, I drank myself into a stupor.
11:05The next day, I woke up with a pounding headache.
11:07It was already afternoon.
11:09The butler called.
11:10His voice was urgent and worried.
11:12Mrs. Ironwood, something terrible.
11:15Your grandpa, he's in the hospital.
11:18I was instantly awake and jumped out of bed.
11:20What happened?
11:21What's wrong with grandpa?
11:24It's a heart attack.
11:25The butler's voice was choked with anger.
11:28It happened at that empty villa.
11:31That house has been empty for years.
11:34Grandpa only goes there sometimes to tend to the moonflowers in the garden.
11:37I asked the butler to get the security footage from the villa right away.
11:41Watching the footage, I felt all the blood rush to my head.
11:44My fists were clenched so tight my knuckles went white.
11:47In the video, grandpa slowly opened the villa's gate.
11:50A strange woman ran out of the house.
11:52She put her hands on her hips and started yelling at grandpa.
11:55You old gil.
11:57Who are you?
11:58Sneaking around someone else's house?
12:00Get out!
12:01Grandpa was clearly confused.
12:03He tried to explain.
12:04This is my...
12:05Before he could finish, a middle-aged man swaggered out and waved his hand impatiently.
12:09This house belongs to my son.
12:11If you know what's good for you, get out.
12:13Otherwise, I'll call the cops.
12:15Right then, a familiar figure strolled out of the villa.
12:19It was Mordecai.
12:21Grandpa was shaking with anger.
12:23This is outrageous.
12:25This is clearly Ironwood Pack's property.
12:28Who are you people?
12:29How did you get in here?
12:32Ironwood Pack?
12:33Mordecai's mother let out a mocking laugh.
12:35Oh, you mean that broke Ironwood Pack?
12:38That's so poor.
12:39Now they have to brulector.
12:41Now they have to rely on our Mordecai and Caleb to throw them scraps?
12:45Mordecai's father got in grandpa's face and yelled at him.
12:48You old fool still think you're some big shot?
12:51Let me tell you, this house is going to be the throne families now.
12:56Grandpa stumbled back.
12:57His face went white instantly.
12:59He clutched his chest, gasping for air.
13:02Then Mordecai's mother rushed forward and pushed grandpa hard.
13:05If you're gonna die, don't do it at my house.
13:07Get out!
13:08Grandpa's body swayed.
13:09He couldn't hold on any longer.
13:11Holding his chest, he fell straight backward.
13:14A cold chill shot up from my feet through my whole body.
13:20Caleb Mordecai?
13:22They let her family move into grandpa's villa.
13:24And they dared to treat grandpa like that.
13:26How could they?
13:28I drove to the hospital like a madman.
13:30I floored the gas pedal and ran through several red lights without even noticing.
13:34I burst into the private hospital.
13:36The emergency room light was still on.
13:38In the hallway, I saw Caleb and Mordecai standing not far away.
13:41My voice was cold enough to freeze.
13:43Who gave you the nerve to let your family move into my grandpa's house and to push him?
13:49Before she could even try to defend himself, Caleb jumped in front of him and pushed me hard.
13:54Silva, why are you yelling at him?
13:56I told Mordecai's family they could stay there temporarily.
13:59That house is empty anyway.
14:01What's wrong with that?
14:02I was almost amused by how absurd that logic was.
14:05Looks like you're not that stupid after all.
14:08My voice was calm as I looked at Caleb like he was a stranger.
14:11His face changed completely.
14:13You...
14:14What are you talking about?
14:16I didn't want to waste any more words with him.
14:18I directly ordered the security and the butler.
14:21Throw these two out.
14:23Don't let them anywhere near the emergency room.
14:26Caleb tried to fight back.
14:27The security grabbed his arms and dragged him out.
14:30He screamed.
14:32Sylvie Ironwood!
14:33I am your husband!
14:36Grandpa hasn't said anything yet!
14:39Why are you kicking me out?
14:40Let go of me!
14:41Finally, there was silence.
14:43Only the bright red light above the emergency room door and the butler's soft sighs remained.
14:48Sitting on the cold chair in the hallway, I took out my phone.
14:51I called my lawyer first.
14:53Draft a divorce agreement.
14:55Caleb cheated and moved marital assets.
14:58The evidence is solid.
15:00I want him out with nothing.
15:02I'll send you the security footage, bank statements, and records of him buying luxury items for Mordecai.
15:07After hanging up, I immediately messaged my assistant.
15:10Effective immediately, the Ironwood PAC and all affiliated capital will fully withdraw from ThornPAC.
15:15Cut off all funding.
15:16I want ThornPAC to be stuck.
15:18Completely.
15:19For the next few days, I blocked out everything and focused on staying at the hospital.
15:23I blocked all of Caleb's calls and messages.
15:26But Mordecai's social media posts got more and more brazen.
15:29Her latest one showed her sitting in the Porsche I paid $3 million for.
15:33The caption said,
15:34New ride, new beginning.
15:36Thanks to my love, walking forward together.
15:39The location was the most expensive mansion in New York.
15:42How ridiculous.
15:43I'm not even dead yet, and this guy who's been living off me is already acting like a big shot.
15:48He thinks with ThornPAC's old connections and his own so-called talent, he can keep going.
15:53Even start a new chapter with his true love.
15:55He forgot who ThornPAC depended on to survive until today.
15:59Caleb, Mordecai, enjoy laughing while you can.
16:01I'm afraid in a little while, you won't even be able to cry.
16:05A few days later, Grandpa finally recovered and was moved to a private room.
16:09When he woke up and saw me by his bed, his cloudy eyes were full of guilt and anger.
16:14Sylvie.
16:15Grandpa's voice was weak and raspy.
16:17Grandpa, I'm here.
16:18I held his thin hand tightly.
16:20Divorce.
16:22Divorce him.
16:23His words came out with difficulty, but his eyes were firm.
16:28Our Ironwood PAC can't tolerate those animals!
16:31Grandpa, focus on getting better.
16:33My voice was calm but carried a power that couldn't be questioned.
16:37Leave the rest to me.
16:39I will personally restore the Ironwood PAC's honor.
16:42Leaving the room, I called my assistant again.
16:44My voice was cold.
16:46Notice all partner banks to immediately freeze all accounts under ThornPAC and Caleb's name.
16:51Start the early liquidation process.
16:54Contact all our suppliers and distributors.
16:56Terminate all collaboration with ThornPAC immediately.
16:59The Ironwood PAC will cover any breach of contract fees.
17:03Submit all evidence of ThornPAC's financial problems and violations over the last three years to the tax department.
17:09Finally, spread the word.
17:11Anyone who does business with ThornPAC is an enemy of me, Sylvia Ironwood.
17:16Let them think carefully about the consequences.
17:19Mordecai.
17:19Caleb, if I let you two keep acting like this, I wouldn't deserve the Ironwood name.
17:25Meanwhile, on the messy bed in the penthouse, Caleb and Mordecai were still going at it.
17:30Caleb's face was flushed.
17:32Mordecai's fingers were tangled in Caleb's hair.
17:35Caleb, once ThornPAC takes over all the good assets Ironwood PAC has left, we'll be the new business leaders.
17:42Caleb leaned against him.
17:44Of course, Ironwood PAC is finished.
17:46From now on, it's our turn to run things.
17:50Mordecai rolled on top of Caleb.
17:51She reached her hand down, ready to start another round.
17:55Just then, Caleb's phone started ringing like crazy.
17:58He saw the caller's name and answered with some impatience.
18:03Hello?
18:04The next second, his relaxed expression froze.
18:07What?
18:08You're canceling the partnership?
18:10Why?
18:11A cold voice came from the other end.
18:13Mr. Caleb, we've decided to end all orders with ThornPAC.
18:17Cancel?
18:18Are you crazy?
18:20Ironwood PAC is bankrupt.
18:22Are you seriously giving up on ThornPAC for a bankrupt company?
18:28The person on the phone let out a laugh like he'd heard something extremely funny.
18:32Bankrupt?
18:33Mr. Caleb, where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor?
18:35Ironwood PAC isn't bankrupt.
18:37In fact, they just closed a $10 billion international deal.
18:40They're worth more now than ever.
18:42Everyone knows that.
18:43As for your ThornPAC, well, good luck.
18:46Before Caleb could ask anything else, the other side hung up.
18:49Caleb held his phone completely stunned.
18:51His mind was buzzing.
18:53No, that's impossible.
18:56They must not know Ironwood PAC is about to collapse.
18:59He muttered, trying to convince himself, but then his phone started buzzing non-stop.
19:04One call after another came in.
19:06Mr. Caleb, Mr. David canceled his order too because of Ironwood PAC.
19:10Mr. Caleb, this is bad.
19:11The bank is calling for payment.
19:13They want Recall to recall the loan early.
19:15Mr. Caleb, our raw material supply Akai has been cut off.
19:20Mr. Caleb.
19:21But Caleb still couldn't see the truth.
19:23He still thought he had insider information.
19:26Cancel?
19:27You'll regret this.
19:28Just wait.
19:29Soon you'll be begging to work with ThornPAC again.
19:31But all he got in response was the dial tone of a hung up call.
19:35Before he could even sort things out, the Thorn family home called.
19:39His father's voice was harsher than ever before.
19:41Caleb, get back to the family home right now.
19:45Now!
19:45When he rushed back to the Thorn family home, he was met with a storm of yelling.
19:50His father was shaking with rage.
19:51He threw a stack of printed photos right in Caleb's face.
19:54Look at what you've done!
19:56You've disgraced our whole family!
19:58In the photos were intimate pictures of Caleb and Mordecai, including that bedroom photo
20:03from the social media post.
20:04And records of him buying birth control pills over and over, all of it had been posted online
20:09anonymously.
20:10It was causing a huge scandal.
20:12Dad!
20:12Let me explain!
20:14It was Sylvia who-
20:14Shut up!
20:15His mother stepped forward.
20:17She looked heartbroken and slapped him hard.
20:20How did I raise such a shameless son?
20:23Caleb held his face, shocked and angry.
20:26But now that things had gone this far, he decided to just say what he really thought.
20:31Fine!
20:31Yes, I cheated!
20:33So what?
20:36Ironwood Pack is about to go bankrupt anyway!
20:38Why can't I go after my own happiness?
20:41Once Ironwood Pack is done with our Thorn Pack-
20:45Another slap, even harder, cut him off.
20:47This time, it was his grandfather.
20:49He was helped by a servant, shaking with anger.
20:51He pointed his cane at Caleb.
20:53You disgrace!
20:54Even if Ironwood Pack really did go under, so what?
20:58Back when our Thorn Pack was about to go under, Ironwood Pack helped us because they valued
21:03our friendship.
21:04How could we be so ungrateful and kick them when they're down?
21:08Caleb's father looked completely defeated.
21:10He closed his eyes in despair.
21:12His voice was tired and scared.
21:14Besides, Ironwood Pack is doing great right now.
21:18Better than ever.
21:19Where did you even hear those crazy rumors?
21:22Now all of Thorn Pack's partners are leaving us.
21:26Banks are calling in our loans.
21:28All because of you!
21:30Because you offended Sylvie Ironwood!
21:32You offended the Ironwood Pack!
21:34Caleb stood there like he'd been struck by lightning.
21:37All the color drained from his face.
21:39At that moment, Caleb finally seemed to realize that what he'd heard was
21:43just a rumor.
21:45Just then, two security guards dragged in Mordecai.
21:48They threw him in the middle of the room like trash.
21:51Mordecai took one look at the situation, especially the murderous look in Caleb's father's eyes,
21:55and was terrified.
21:57She crawled on hands and knees.
21:58She grabbed Caleb's father's leg and spoke with tears in her voice.
22:02She was desperate to distance herself.
22:04This has nothing to do with me!
22:06It was all Caleb!
22:07He seduced me!
22:09He came on to me!
22:10I was forced!
22:12Please, let me go!
22:14I'm just a nobody!
22:16Caleb couldn't believe his ears.
22:17This woman who had been in bed with him just minutes ago,
22:20dreaming about their future together.
22:22Now she was like a desperate dog throwing him under the bus.
22:27Mordecai, are you even human?
22:29Caleb rushed at him.
22:32Who was the one who begged me like a dog?
22:35Shayyun, why money to my for her whole family?
22:37Now you don't have it as admit it!
22:39Mordecai grabbed his clothes, panicking, and started shouting whatever came to mind.
22:43Caleb, are you serious?
22:44You think I'd be interested in you if you hadn't come after me first?
22:48You were the one who wanted me to take birth control instead of using condoms
22:51because you said it didn't feel good!
22:53You were acting like an animal in heat everywhere!
22:56This was like a bomb going off.
22:58It left everyone in the Thorn family with dark expressions.
23:01You're lying!
23:03Lying?!
23:04Mordecai dodged and shouted with red eyes.
23:06Last time, in the meeting room, if the cleaning lady hadn't come in,
23:10you would have done it right on the conference table!
23:13Enough!
23:15Enough!
23:16Caleb's father let out a roar of rage.
23:19Veins bulged on his forehead.
23:21He lifted his leg and kicked Mordecai in the chest with all his strength.
23:25Without the Ironwood Pack's support and funding, Thorn Pack didn't even last a week.
23:30Faced with this situation, the Thorn family elders were too ashamed to ask the Ironwood Pack
23:35for forgiveness.
23:36To save what little was left of Thorn Pack's reputation and pride, they called a family
23:40meeting and made a final decision.
23:42Thorn Pack cut all ties with Caleb.
23:45He was removed from the family records and kicked out.
23:48Meanwhile, Mordecai and her family also faced their punishment.
23:50The evidence I submitted was solid.
23:53Illegal property takeover, harassment, and indirectly causing my grandpa's heart attack.
23:59Mordecai and her parents were sent to prison for multiple crimes.
24:02They would face the full force of the law.
