KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00Mein Bruder wollte Revenge für seine Adoptioninie.
00:03Auf dem Dating Reality Show ich filmiere,
00:06er hat einen gewöhnlichen Führer-Delivery-Guy auf den Städten
00:11und hat meine Leben in eine Sprechstelle.
00:14Unter dem Sprechstelle,
00:16sein Uber Eats-Uniform war schrecklich aus dem Platz.
00:20Die Publikum eröffnet in Laugier.
00:22Was ist das DELIVERY-Guy da oben da?
00:25Oh mein Gott.
00:27Will der William Sarris marry einen DELIVERY-Guy?
00:30I stood, frozen.
00:32Mein Bruder strode up,
00:33wrapped his arm around me,
00:35and whispered,
00:36Emily,
00:37last time you gave Sophie food poisoning
00:39and she had to have her stomach pumped.
00:42She's still holding a grudge.
00:44I had no choice but to let you make a bit of a fool of yourself
00:48to make her feel better.
00:49She's young.
00:51Just indulge her a little.
00:53Don't worry,
00:54it's just for show.
00:56There's no way the family would actually
00:58let you marry a delivery guy.
01:00The live studio erupted into chaos.
01:04The host quickly tried to smooth things over,
01:07asking the delivery guy with a smile.
01:10Hello, this is a live broadcast,
01:12a dating show.
01:13Are you perhaps lost?
01:14That was when a snort of laughter rang out from the audience.
01:19He's not blind.
01:20Since he stepped on stage,
01:22it means he's willing to match with Emily.
01:24I turned sharply and met Alexander Gray's cold gaze.
01:28He sat in the VIP section,
01:30dressed in an Armani Haute Couture suit,
01:33hands folded on his knees.
01:35His demeanor was that of a completely detached spectator.
01:39My heart ached so much,
01:41I could barely breathe.
01:43We'd had a secret relationship for seven years,
01:47and we'd agreed to go public today on this show.
01:50From the moment the show began,
01:52I kept waiting for him.
01:54He never came on stage.
01:56Instead, what I got was his cold,
01:59detached gaze from the sidelines.
02:02The host, sensing gossip, asked,
02:05Mr. Gray, rumor has it that you and Emily grew up together.
02:09Are you sure you won't come up to claim your childhood sweetheart?
02:14Alexander sneered.
02:16Childhood sweetheart?
02:18That's just a wild misunderstanding.
02:20David Williams shot to his feet,
02:22pointing at Alexander.
02:24His thundering voice echoed throughout the studio.
02:27Alexander Gray.
02:28You grew up my sister.
02:30Who was it that swore he'd marry no one but her?
02:32And now you call it a misunderstanding.
02:35What kind of asshole are you?
02:37A few Nepo babies in the front rows snickered
02:40and whispered loud ringing for everyone to hear.
02:44Isn't it obvious?
02:46Mr. Gray has already moved on.
02:48I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.
02:51Alexander was at a Tiffany store shopping
02:54for a diamond ring with Emily's adopted sister.
02:57Heard his family forced him to show up today.
03:00He never planned to go and stay in the first place.
03:02So that was it.
03:03I closed my eyes, forcing back the tears that threatened to fall.
03:08When I opened them again,
03:10I took a step forward and said loudly,
03:13What's wrong with being a delivery guy?
03:15Are you all so noble that you never order takeout?
03:18If he has the courage to stand up here,
03:21then I have the courage to choose him.
03:23David grabbed my wrist.
03:25Emily, have you lost your mind?
03:28I looked up at him, tears betraying me and falling.
03:31When we were little,
03:34David would carry me home whenever I scraped my knee.
03:37He used to hold me in his arms and rock me to sleep.
03:40But after Sophie arrived,
03:43David revolved around her
03:44and no longer paid any attention to me.
03:47I laughed.
03:48Dave, isn't this exactly what you wanted to see?
03:51The whole country is watching this livestream.
03:54The William Saris is marrying a delivery man.
03:56Your precious Sophie should be satisfied now, right?
03:59David was stunned.
04:01Then his brow furrowed deeply.
04:04You're still blaming Sophie.
04:06That day she was just...
04:07I stopped listening to the rest, turned,
04:10and walked towards the figure in the delivery uniform
04:13on the other side of the stage.
04:15The crowd parted automatically,
04:17their mocking eyes pricking me like needles.
04:21As I passed Alexander,
04:23he stood up and blocked my path.
04:25Emily, don't be reckless.
04:26He lectured me impatiently.
04:29I know you're angry with me,
04:30but there's no need to get back at me like this.
04:32When I didn't respond,
04:33he softened his tone.
04:36We grew up together.
04:37I've always thought of you as a little sister.
04:40Listen to me,
04:41come back to the family.
04:42I'll help you find a good man who deserves you later.
04:45I stopped and looked back at him
04:47with a mocking curve on my lips.
04:50A little sister?
04:52Alexander stammered,
04:53his eyes darting away,
04:55unable to meet my gaze.
04:57I stared straight at him.
04:59Alexander,
05:00is it so hard to admit you've fallen for Sophie?
05:03Done.
05:04Insult me by calling me your sister as an excuse.
05:07If you're going to hurt me,
05:09at least have the decency to be honest.
05:12He hesitated,
05:13his face ashen.
05:15I wanted to end this as quickly as possible.
05:17I stepped around him and walked up to the delivery guy.
05:21A reckless impulse seized me.
05:23I looked up at him and asked loudly,
05:26Hey,
05:27will you marry me?
05:29In that moment,
05:31all cameras focused on us.
05:33The entire studio fell silent.
05:35Even the director forgot to cut the feed.
05:38David yelled from the audience.
05:40Emily!
05:41Stop this nonsense!
05:43Come back here!
05:45Alexander stood not far away,
05:47watching me with indifference.
05:49Under countless flashing lights,
05:52the delivery guy slowly took off his helmet.
05:55A handsome face was revealed under the lights,
05:58with deep, sharp features.
06:01Especially those eyes.
06:03Captivating.
06:04Are you sure?
06:05I nodded.
06:07Yes.
06:07He smiled.
06:09Okay.
06:10I'll marry you.
06:11As soon as the words left his mouth,
06:13David charged towards the stage,
06:16only to be pulled back by Alexander.
06:19If you go up there now,
06:21you'll be playing right into her hands.
06:24What do you mean?
06:25She's just throwing a tantrum.
06:28She's been spoiled her whole life.
06:30There's no way she'd actually marry a food delivery guy.
06:34I heard him, but said nothing.
06:36I grew up together with David Williams and Alexander Gray.
06:41We used to be inseparable.
06:42Until five years ago, when I went abroad to study.
06:46I buried myself in coursework, days and nights blurring together.
06:51And my calls home grew fewer and farther between.
06:55My distance weighed heavily on my parents.
06:58They grew quiet, dispirited.
07:00And the Williams house, once full of laughter and warmth,
07:05slowly fell silent.
07:07Then, Sophie appeared.
07:09She was a distant relative from my grandmother's side,
07:12with features that vaguely resemble mine.
07:16After hearing her parents had died in a car accident,
07:19my parents immediately took her in.
07:22Sophie was lively and sweet.
07:25The kind who always knew what to say.
07:27It didn't take long for her to win everyone over.
07:30Gradually, the Williams house became lively again because of her arrival.
07:35While I, far away in a foreign country,
07:38seemed to be forgotten by everyone.
07:40Until two years ago,
07:42when I returned home after getting my degree.
07:44I thought I'd be met with the joy of reunion.
07:47But instead, my family was worried about Sophie feeling jealous,
07:52and deliberately kept their distance from me.
07:54I still remember the night I returned.
07:57Standing outside the door,
07:58I overheard my mother comforting Sophie.
08:01Sophie honey, you will always be mom and dad's daughter.
08:05That will never change.
08:06Your sister has been abroad for so long.
08:09Who knows what she's been through.
08:13Her personality has turned so cold and aloof.
08:20She's not as understanding and sweet as you are.
08:25I felt like I'd been plunged into an ice cellar, standing frozen on the spot.
08:32The news of the Williams heiress marrying a delivery guy spread like wildfire,
08:37and quickly became a trending topic online.
08:41When I returned to the villa,
08:42the whole family was sitting on the living room sofa chatting.
08:45When David finished telling them the story,
08:48my father slammed his hand on the coffee table.
08:52Nonsense!
08:54That wretched girl has disgraced the Williams family!
08:58My mother were organizing her new purchases.
09:01When Emily comes back,
09:03don't yell at her.
09:05Or she'll make sure there's no peace for the whole family.
09:09She's definitely angry that her brother embarrassed her on the show.
09:14That's why she's acting out and saying she'll marry the delivery guy.
09:19She doesn't even know his background.
09:24How could she actually marry him?
09:27She's not that stupid.
09:29Sophie, sitting to the side, started crying.
09:34Mom, this is all my fault?
09:38If David hadn't stood up for me, Emily wouldn't be acting like this.
09:43My mother gently wiped her tears with a tissue.
09:46Don't be silly.
09:49Ever since your sister came back,
09:51we've had to accommodate her,
09:54and you've been forced to suffer.
09:57This all has been a silly prank.
10:02She won't actually do it.
10:04My father chimed in.
10:08Sophie...
10:10This isn't your fault.
10:12Your sister is just letting her temper get get in her way.
10:17She wouldn't really joke about her own lifelong happiness.
10:21As she spoke,
10:22my mother picked up a brand new Chanel bag,
10:25and held it out to Sophie.
10:28Sweetheart, come see if you like this color.
10:31If you wait until your sister gets back,
10:34she'll just fight you for it again.
10:37Mid-sentence, her peripheral vision caught sight of me standing in the entryway.
10:43The bag in her hand fell onto the couch with a thud.
10:46Three days later, I met the delivery guy at a coffee shop.
10:51The rich scent of coffee filled the air.
10:54I stirred my caramel macchiato absentmindedly,
10:57watching the drizzle outside.
10:59My thoughts hazy and unfocused.
11:02It wasn't until someone sat down across the table that I snapped back to reality.
11:07I looked up, and froze at a face so ridiculously handsome it could stop hearts.
11:13He was wearing a black tracksuit,
11:16a world apart from the Uber Eats uniform he had on that day.
11:20A smile gleamed in his eyes as he asked softly,
11:25Miss Williams?
11:27Don't recognize me?
11:29Of course I do.
11:31So, um, what's your name again?
11:33He settled across from me,
11:35his long fingers picking up the menu with commanding ease.
11:40Ryan Scott.
11:41I pulled a bank card from my bag,
11:44and slid it across the table.
11:46The pin is six-eighths.
11:48Go buy whatever you like.
11:51Sports cars.
11:53Watches.
11:54Whatever.
11:55In one week,
11:56we'll go register our marriage.
11:58Ryan glanced briefly at the card,
12:01but didn't take it.
12:02Instead, he looked up and met my eyes directly.
12:06Miss Williams,
12:07are you truly set on marrying a delivery guy like me,
12:10who has nothing?
12:11My heart clenched,
12:13and his challenge sparked a stubborn defiance in me.
12:17What, having second thoughts?
12:19Is marrying me too intimidating for you after all?
12:23He chuckled softly,
12:24and pushed the card back towards me.
12:27What are you doing?
12:28I asked, confused.
12:30He simply smiled.
12:33A real man doesn't need a woman's money.
12:36One week from now,
12:37I'll see you at the courthouse.
12:39I nodded.
12:40Okay.
12:42After parting ways with Ryan,
12:44it was already evening.
12:46When I returned to the mansion,
12:48my family was having dinner.
12:50Alexander was there too,
12:52sitting right next to Sophie.
12:54My appearance instantly wiped the smiles off everyone's faces.
13:00My appearance made all the smiles vanish instantly,
13:03plunging everyone into an awkward silence.
13:06David was the first to react,
13:08waving me over.
13:09Emily, come join us for dinner.
13:11I shook my head.
13:13Not hungry.
13:15I'm going upstairs.
13:17As I turned to leave,
13:19my mother suddenly stopped me.
13:24Emily, there's something we need to discuss with you.
13:27I stopped.
13:29What is it?
13:30She walked up to me,
13:31hesitating for a moment before speaking.
13:34Your father and I have discussed it,
13:37and we've decided to make your sister
13:40and Alexander's engagement official.
13:42I looked up at Alexander.
13:45He instinctively avoided my gaze.
13:48Seeing this,
13:49I laughed coldly.
13:51My mother grabbed my hand.
13:53I know you and Alexander have been close since childhood,
13:56but feelings require mutual consent.
13:59They can't be forced.
14:01Mom will definitely make it up to you later.
14:03I quietly pulled my hand back,
14:05interrupting her.
14:07Enough, Mom.
14:10I have no objections.
14:12I wish my sister and future brother-in-law
14:15a lifetime of love and happiness.
14:18Forever and always.
14:20I hadn't expected Alexander to follow me.
14:24He held my wrist tightly,
14:26refusing to let go.
14:28I frowned.
14:30Alexander,
14:31what do you think you're doing?
14:33He lowered his gaze slightly and said softly.
14:38I know you said those things because you're angry with me.
14:42You must be feeling really hurt right now, aren't you?
14:46I used to think that at least Alexander was the one person Sophie couldn't steal away from me.
14:51Two years ago, when I first came back,
14:55Sophie was obsessed with framing me for various things,
14:59painting herself as the victim.
15:02Back then, no matter how I tried to explain,
15:05no one was willing to believe me.
15:08Except for Alexander.
15:10He would wrap his hands around mine and say,
15:12I believe you.
15:16I'll always be on your side.
15:18He would also maintain his distance from Sophie because she deliberately copied all my daily outfits and the way I
15:25spoke.
15:26I thought Alexander, my childhood friend who had sworn to marry no one but me, who cared for me so
15:33attentively, would remain loyal to me.
15:36But in the end, he still chose to break my heart, just like the others.
15:41When will you stop this?
15:45If I really wanted something between me and Sophie to happen, who are you to say anything?
15:52No wonder your parents prefer their adopted daughter, who could stand your prickly, defensive attitude.
15:57If I so much as say an extra word to Sophie, you make a huge scene.
16:03All suspicious and paranoid like a shrew.
16:06Fine, I'll tell you now.
16:09Sophie is gentler, more understanding, and a million times more attractive to me than you are.
16:14Are you satisfied now?
16:17Back then, I loved him so deeply that even upon hearing such hurtful words,
16:24my first reaction wasn't anger, but doubting whether I was truly in the wrong.
16:29It was only later that I realized Alexander always claimed to dislike Sophie,
16:34but never actually refused her increasingly intimate and boundary-crossing behaviors.
16:40It was his inconsistency between words and actions that drove me to a breakdown.
16:46The fault was his, not mine.
16:49Seeing me silent, Alexander thought he had hidden me.
16:53He sighed lightly, and continued on his own.
16:57Emily, we grew up together, and have many beautiful memories.
17:02I don't want us to end up cutting ties completely.
17:06Here's the deal.
17:08If you behave and stop targeting Sophie all the time, I might consider seeing you on the side.
17:16After all, we're physically compatible, and things are perfect in bed.
17:20I looked at him in disbelief.
17:25How could you?
17:26Alexander added,
17:27But you have to promise me one thing.
17:30You behave from now on.
17:33And Don, give Sophie any more trouble.
17:37I couldn't take it anymore.
17:39I shook off his hand and screamed.
17:42Get lost!
17:43In the blink of an eye, the day arrived for Ryan and me to register our marriage.
17:49Coincidentally, it was also Sophie's birthday.
17:53Over the past week, thanks to the Williams family's control over the media narrative,
17:58the scandal from the live dating show had almost completely died down.
18:03After all, who would seriously believe the Williams heiress would actually marry a delivery guy?
18:09Even my parents and brother thought what I said on the show was just me throwing a fit, but they
18:15didn't know.
18:16I was utterly disillusioned and disappointed with this family, and had long wanted to leave.
18:22That morning, I was just about to go downstairs for breakfast.
18:26As I reached the staircase, I heard David shouting impatiently.
18:30Hurry up, finds out we're taking Sophie to Miami for her birthday.
18:35She'll definitely make a scene and want to come along.
18:37My mother sounded hesitant.
18:40Are we really leaving Emily home alone?
18:43Won't she be upset?
18:46For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this.
18:50My father urged while packing.
18:53Don't overthink it.
18:54I finally managed to get time off.
18:56The butler and servants are here to look after her.
18:59It's not like she'll starve.
19:01Sophie piped up, pretending to be considerate.
19:04Maybe we should take Emily with us?
19:06David snorted lightly.
19:08Do you want to have a proper birthday or not?
19:10My mother sighed softly.
19:12When we get back, we can buy her some extra gifts and cheer her up properly.
19:17Half an hour later, everything fell completely silent downstairs.
19:21I opened my door and looked out at the sky, clear and blue, as if washed clean.
19:28What beautiful weather.
19:29I called for the butler waiting nearby.
19:32Mike, I have some good news for you.
19:34I'm getting married today.
19:36But I never, ever, expected that Ryan had arranged a fleet to pick me up.
19:42A line of sleek, all black Rolls Royce phantoms gleamed in front of the mansion, parked so perfectly that neighbors
19:50couldn't help but stop and stare.
19:52What surprised me even more, was that he'd rented the city's largest digital billboard, looping announcements of our wedding for
20:00everyone to see.
20:02I sat in the car, staring at the spectacle, more fitting for a corporate merger than a personal celebration, and
20:09something about it felt off.
20:12Where did a delivery guy get this kind of money?
20:16But remembering his commanding composure from the coffee shop, my intuition told me his identity was anything but simple.
20:24Meanwhile, the Williams family's private jet had just landed in Miami when it encountered a severe hurricane, the worst in
20:32a decade.
20:33Looking at the sudden storm and torrential rain outside the window, Sophie frowned.
20:39Her grand birthday party was likely ruined, but they couldn't apply for a return flight that same day, so they
20:47had to schedule one for three days later.
20:49Three days later, when the Williams family returned home, they immediately sensed something was wrong.
20:56The butler and servants stood lined up in the entryway, not daring to make a sound.
21:01My mother was the first to react, frowning as she asked the butler,
21:06Where's Emily?
21:08The servants exchanged glances.
21:10Finally, the butler stepped forward, stammering.
21:14Young lady. She got married and moved out. You truly couldn't stop her. What?
21:21My parents and brother exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with shock.
21:27My father grabbed the butler's arm, demanding sternly,
21:31Who did she marry?
21:32It's that delivery guy who was pushed on stage during the show the day they registered at the county clerk's
21:40office.
21:41Not only did he send a Rolls-Royce fleet to pick Ness Williams up, but he also booked all the
21:46city's eyes advertising screens.
21:48The media followed the whole ceremony. Now, it spread throughout the entire upper-class circle.
21:58My mother's vision went black, and she went limp, caught just in time by David.
22:03She cried.
22:05This child, how could she be so foolish? What prospects does a livery guy have?
22:14It must be a romance scam. What if Emily gets kidnapped and taken to an organ farm?
22:23Mom!
22:24Sophie, while comforting my mother, sighed.
22:28How could Emily ruin the Williams family like this simply out of spite?
22:32And now she's made Mom so worried, so immature.
22:36As she turned, David caught the victorious smirk she hadn't quite managed to conceal.
22:42He froze for a moment, then said coldly,
22:45Sophie, now is not the time.
22:48Sophie was stunned. Unable to believe her always doting brother would speak to her like that,
22:55David stared straight at her, a sliver of doubt rising in his heart.
23:00Sophie, tell me the truth.
23:04Last time when you said Emily liberally gave you something you're allergic to,
23:09accusing you to get food poisoning and have your stomach pumped, was that actually true?
23:14Sophie opened her mouth to speak, but David cut her off.
23:18Be carefully before you answer.
23:21If I find out you lied, you know there are consequences.
23:27Tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried, gasping for breath.
23:31It was... it was me who was carelessness. I ate the wrong thing.
23:37I was afraid you'd say I was greedy and irresponsible.
23:42David roared in disbelief.
23:44So you framed Emily.
23:47Said she deliberately tried to harm you.
23:49And because of that, I had to embarrass her on national TV!
23:55His face was extremely grim.
23:57My mother also looked at Sophie in stunned disappointment.
24:02Sophie...
24:03How could you do this?
24:05Sophie, frightened, hid behind my father.
24:09Just as David was about to press further, my father suddenly spoke up to stop him.
24:15Enough. Sophie is just young and doesn't know any better.
24:19It was just a joke. Nothing major.
24:21David was dumbfounded.
24:23He looked at father's blatantly indulging expression, the words stuck in his throat.
24:28The sun was shining brightly outside, warming the living room.
24:33But David felt chilled to the bone.
24:36And this was only the truth Sophie admitted under his pressure.
24:40What about the things he didn't know?
24:42He suddenly remembered how, in the past...
24:46Emily had tried to explain herself through tears, time and time again.
24:52It wasn't me!
24:54I didn't give that to her to eat.
24:57I didn't take her Bulgari necklace.
25:00Really, it wasn't me.
25:02But from start to finish, no one had ever seriously listened to her explanations.
25:10Everyone's inherent bias had subconsciously convicted her all along.
25:14A burning heat prickled the corners of his eyes.
25:17David looked down at his own hands, suddenly realizing with a start.
25:22All these years, his seemingly neutral silence.
25:26How was it any different from his father's outright favoritism?
25:31Thinking this, he turned and went upstairs without another word.
25:34Ryan rented an iconic villa in Beverly Hills.
25:38The house wasn't huge, but it was clean and tastefully maintained.
25:43There was an orange tree in the yard, laden with large, sweet fruit.
25:48The Williams family showed up at our doorstep just as Ryan had gone out on business.
25:53The old garden gate was forcibly kicked open by bodyguards.
25:57And my father stormed in with his lackeys.
26:00After looking around, he pointed at me and scolded.
26:03Emily, you've disgraced the Williams family.
26:09Come home with me.
26:11I put down the watering can and looked up calmly.
26:14I'm married. This is my home now.
26:17My father kicked a flower pot out of the way and pointed an accusing finger at my nose.
26:23That delivery guy doesn't even have a proper job.
26:29This isn't a real Mariag, it's a sham.
26:33What's wrong with being a delivery guy?
26:36I took a step forward, sneering.
26:39He earns his living with his own hands.
26:43Which is way better than what snobs like you do.
26:49You brat!
26:51My father's face turned purple with rage.
26:54Are you determined to defy me?
26:57Finding some lowlife to piss us off?
27:00What kind of love spell has that delivery guy cast to make you throw away all your dignity?
27:06I let out a cold laugh.
27:07So in your eyes, is everyone outside the Williams family beneath you?
27:12Sophie acts cute and plays the victim, and that makes her a light!
27:16But I work for everything I have, and that's somehow me! To fall!
27:22My father was left speechless by my retort.
27:26Enough!
27:27Both of you, stop it!
27:29My mother hurried forward to pull my father back, then turned to me and coaxed softly.
27:36Emily, don't speak to your father like that.
27:39He's worried about you, afraid you'll suffer.
27:42That boy doesn't have a stable job.
27:47How will you live in the future?
27:49How we live is none of your concern.
27:52I shot them a cold glance.
27:55At least he won't always put an adopted family member before his own blood, like you all do.
28:03My mother sighed.
28:05I know we wronged you before because of Sophie, but she's admitted her mistake.
28:11Can't you forgive her?
28:13I found everything utterly ridiculous.
28:15Last month, when Sophie falsely accused me of stealing her favorite Bulgari necklace, they froze all my credit cards.
28:24Now Sophie had made a mistake.
28:26And they think a few scolding words can just brush it aside?
28:30I looked up and said flatly,
28:33Fine.
28:36If you want me to come back, sure.
28:37My parents were both stunned, waiting for my next words.
28:41I took a deep breath and enunciated each word slowly.
28:45On.
28:47The.
28:48Condition.
28:50That.
28:51You.
28:52Kick.
28:53Sophie.
28:54Out.
28:55Of the.
28:57Williams.
28:58Family.
29:00No way!
29:03Hearing this completely expected answer, I smiled wryly to myself.
29:09My parents' love had long been a luxury for me.
29:12Fortunately, I had stopped expecting it long ago.
29:15My mother seemed to realize they had refused too quickly and spoke awkwardly.
29:20Sophie is still your sister after all.
29:23What grudge can't be settled among family?
29:27She pulled Sophie over.
29:29Sophie.
29:30Apologize to your sister now.
29:32She timidly stepped forward, choking up.
29:36Sister, I'm sorry.
29:38It was all my fault.
29:40I turned my face away, not wanting to watch her hypocritical performance.
29:45Seeing I remained unmoved, she suddenly threw herself to her knees and wrapped her arms around my legs.
29:51Sister.
29:53You can hit me or scold me.
29:56Whatever you want.
29:59Just please don't be angry with mom and dad anymore.
30:04My mother exclaimed.
30:06Sophie!
30:07Get up quickly!
30:09My father also frowned.
30:11Emily!
30:12Your sister is apologizing like this.
30:15What more do you want?
30:17Sophie was crying pitifully on the surface.
30:20But her hands were secretly pinching my calf hard.
30:24A sharp pain shot through me.
30:27And I instantly understood her game.
30:30Let go.
30:31I said, coldly.
30:33She held on even tighter, her nails digging deeper, while crying out.
30:38I won't get up until you forgive me.
30:41I said let go.
30:43For the last time.
30:45Sophie looked up at me.
30:46A flash of triumph in her teary eyes.
30:49She was counting on me not making a scene in front of our parents.
30:53But she miscalculated.
30:55I sharply pulled my leg back.
30:58In the moment she was stunned, I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.
31:02That slap is for pinching me just now.
31:07Sophie covered her face, dumbfounded.
31:10Before she could react, I backhanded her with another slap.
31:14And this one is for all the times you set me up over the years.
31:19She was completely dazed, collapsing to the floor, tears streaming down.
31:24Sister, I already apologized.
31:28Why did you hit me?
31:32My father was furious.
31:34Emily!
31:36Have you lost your mind?
31:39My mother hurried to help Sophie up, examining her face.
31:43My father, enraged, raised his hand to strike me.
31:47Incorrigible.
31:48I'll teach you a lesson today.
31:51I instinctively closed my eyes.
31:53But the expected blow, never came.
31:56When I opened my eyes, a row of bodyguards had appeared in front of me.
32:00Forming a trained, protective circle.
32:03The lead bodyguard had a firm grip on my father's raised hand.
32:07Who are you people?
32:09How dare you cause trouble here?
32:11My father was both shocked and angry.
32:14My mother quickly shielded Sophie behind her.
32:17Sophie, I got you.
32:19Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the circle of people.
32:25I'd like to ask my father-in-law why he's laying hands on my wife.
32:29When Ryan walked in through the door, I almost didn't recognize him.
32:34He was wearing a black suit, and the watch on his wrist was an RM Crystal Polo, worth about 40
32:40million.
32:41The bodyguards bowed in unison.
32:44Sir.
32:45My father was dumbstruck.
32:48A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped forward and handed my father a business card.
32:53Mr. Williams, I am the special assistant to the CEO of the Scott Group.
33:00This is the only son of our chairman, Scott.
33:03The sole heir to the Scott Group.
33:06My father's hand trembled uncontrollably as he took the card.
33:14Scott?
33:16Which Scott?
33:17The Scott family.
33:19The wealthiest in San Francisco.
33:21The Scott Group.
33:22The assistant smiled faintly.
33:25Might I ask in what way is the Mr. Scott unworthy of Miss Williams?
33:29My father quickly withdrew his hand, forcing composure.
33:33Mr. Scott.
33:36This is all a massive misunderstanding.
33:39Misunderstanding?
33:40Ryan walked to my side and put his arm around my shoulder.
33:44I could have sworn I saw someone about to hit my wife just now.
33:48Nothing of the sort.
33:50My father waved his hands hastily.
33:53We were just here to see how Emily is doing.
33:58We have matters to attend to.
34:00We should be going.
34:02He tugged at my mother's sleeve.
34:04She caught on immediately.
34:06Yes, yes.
34:07We were just leaving.
34:10Sophie still stood frozen.
34:11My father grabbed her arm.
34:13Aren't you coming?
34:16Watching their hurried retreat, I shook my head with a bitter smile.
34:21After Ryan dismissed the bodyguards and his assistant, the villa was quiet.
34:26Just the two of us.
34:27The atmosphere was undeniably awkward.
34:30Now that I knew his true identity, I couldn't help feeling self-conscious.
34:36And my gaze kept darting away whenever I looked at him.
34:41He noticed my discomfort and patiently explained.
34:45My father wants me to take over the family business.
34:49But I'd rather make my own way.
34:51To experience life and temporarily avoid the family arrangements.
34:58I took a job delivering food.
35:00That day at the show, I'd actually just finished my last delivery and was dragged along by a co-worker
35:05to fill an audience seat.
35:06Then he changed the subject.
35:08But that wasn't the first time we met.
35:11A month ago.
35:14Outside a building in the financial district.
35:17You gave a business lunch you were about to throw away to a delivery guy.
35:22Remember?
35:23I thought carefully.
35:25Then shook my head slightly.
35:26No, I don't.
35:28Ryan smiled wryly.
35:30I covered my face in embarrassment.
35:32The atmosphere did lighten a bit.
35:35Ryan brought two lounge chairs out onto the balcony.
35:39We sat side by side.
35:41He told me many stories about his life in San Francisco.
35:44He said he'd been raised as the heir since childhood.
35:47He started interning in the family business at 15.
35:50And his first proposal saved the company tens of millions in costs.
35:55At 17, he independently managed an investment project whose return rate impressed even the bored veterans.
36:03By 25, he was driving the group's digital transformation.
36:07Earning praise for his capabilities even from competitors.
36:11Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at me.
36:14What about you?
36:16What was your life like before you met me?
36:19The question caught me off guard.
36:23After a long while, I said softly,
36:26I was someone who could be abandoned at any time.
36:30Ryan quietly moved his lounge chair closer and listened attentively.
36:35I continued, recounting my past.
36:38By the end, my eyes were a little wet.
36:41Just as I was about to raise my hand, Ryan took it in his.
36:45He looked at me.
36:46It won't be like that anymore.
36:48With me, you will always be the first priority.
36:52No one can replace you.
36:54When we go back to San Francisco, I'll definitely make it up to you with a grand wedding.
36:58I looked up at him.
37:00The spark in his eyes was brighter than the city lights.
37:03The night breeze picked up again.
37:06Gently swaying the wind chime on the balcony, stars twinkled in the night sky.
37:11In that moment, my long, silent heart began to race.
37:15Before I knew it, spring had arrived.
37:17While browsing in a mall, I spotted a Dior fleece dress I liked.
37:21Just as I picked it up to try on, an annoying voice came from behind.
37:27Hey, I'll take that dress.
37:29I turned.
37:30It was Sophie, of course.
37:32She hurried over and tried to snatch the dress from my hands.
37:36Emily, I have a banquet next week and need a dress just like this.
37:40I held onto the hanger tightly, not yielding an inch.
37:44During the struggle, there was a commotion at the boutique entrance.
37:48The staff greeted respectfully.
37:50Mr. Grey, welcome.
37:51I looked up and saw Alexander standing in the doorway.
37:54He glanced at me dismissively.
37:57Emily, let Sophie have it.
37:59It's just a dress.
38:01I sneered.
38:02Why should I?
38:03Alexander frowned deeply, his tone impatient.
38:07Have you forgotten what I told you?
38:09If you want to be with me, the most important thing is to stop targeting Sophie everywhere,
38:15making a scene over a dress like this.
38:18How does that look?
38:19I was about to speak when a familiar cool voice came from behind.
38:24Oh, I wasn't aware my wife had any intention of being with you.
38:28Alexander turned sharply, his face changing dramatically.
38:32What did you say?
38:33Ryan, holding my favorite cupcake, walked over slowly.
38:37He ignored everyone else, came to my side, and naturally wrapped his arm around my waist.
38:43Mr. Grey, you must have just returned from your business trip and haven't heard the news.
38:48Emily is already legally married to me.
38:50She is now my Mrs. Scott.
38:52As the last word fell, Alexander was completely stunned.
38:57He first muttered,
38:59How is that possible?
39:02Then, as if remembering something, he looked sharply at Sophie.
39:07Is what he said true?
39:08Sophie's face turned pale, and she whispered,
39:12The delivery guy from the show?
39:14And also the sole heir of the Scott family from San Francisco?
39:18Alexander still asked unwillingly,
39:22Emily, did you really marry him?
39:25Before I could answer, Ryan stepped in front of me, blocking his view.
39:31You like this dress?
39:32He asked me, looking down.
39:34Then we'll buy it.
39:35Or should we just buy every new design in this entire store?
39:39With that, he handed a black card to the associate and paid without hesitation.
39:44When Ryan and I left, Alexander still stood rigidly in place like a statue,
39:49incessantly muttering to himself.
39:55Impossible.
39:58Didn't she love me the most?
40:02Ryan's grandmother's 80th birthday was approaching.
40:05These grand celebrations were really not my thing.
40:08But he wouldn't stop pestering me.
40:10Babby, can you really leave your husband to face all those socialite heiresses alone?
40:18He whined, leaning close and putting on a pitiful expression.
40:21When I still didn't budge, he edged even closer.
40:25And aren't you worried? Your husband's so handsome.
40:28What if some wealthy heiress sets her sights on him?
40:30I couldn't help but laugh and pretended to pinch him.
40:34In the end, I succumbed to his charming persuasion and accompanied him to the birthday banquet.
40:40Upon entering the Scott Estate, I was stunned by the sheer extravagance of everything.
40:45A white, castle-like building stood at the center of a meticulously manicured garden.
40:50I had never seen such a luxurious private residence and found myself momentarily unable to move.
40:56Ryan sensed my nervousness and took my hand.
41:00Don't be afraid, just stay with me.
41:02Entering the main house, a crystal chandelier spanning over 30 feet nearly blinded me with its brilliance.
41:09The hall was filled with elegantly dressed guests, all sizing me up beside Ryan.
41:14He led me to the head table where the matriarch sat, surrounded by crystal glasses and silver candelabras.
41:20Grandma, happy Vedeth. Wishing you health, happiness, and many more wonderful years.
41:26He said, I quickly handed over the gift I'd carefully chosen.
41:30Grandma, I picked out this limited edition designer scarf for you. I hope you like it.
41:38A few scoffs echoed from nearby. One society lady rolled her eyes.
41:43A designer scarf? That's it? She's seen everything money can buy.
41:49Seriously, another whispered. At her age, she probably has ten of those already. This is so... basic.
41:59My cheeks burned and I opened my mouth to defend myself.
42:03But Mrs. Scott just smiled and accepted the gift warmly.
42:06She carefully touched the fabric of the scarf, her eyes lighting up.
42:12Oh my, this pattern. This is hands shitched by a master artisan's, is it?
42:18Not many young ladies would pick something so thoughtful these days.
42:22Ryan quickly added, Emily spent a long time choosing it.
42:28She said this color and design suited you best.
42:34Well done, sweetheart.
42:36Mrs. Scott said, pulling my hand close.
42:38Compared to all those flashy, over-the-top gifts, this one's full of thought and care.
42:45The society ladies who had been sneering earlier suddenly went pale.
42:50Ryan shot a cold glance across the room.
42:53No one gets to judge the gift my wife gave.
42:57The room fell silent. Not a single guest dared to show disdain.
43:02Mrs. Scott patted the back of my hand.
43:05Come, sit next to me. Tell me how you found such a unique gift.
43:09Just as I sat down, a commotion erupted outside.
43:13A few uniformed police officers entered, their voices serious.
43:17Sorry to interrupt. We've received an urgent report.
43:20We need Emily Williams to come with us regarding an investigation into alleged major financial fraud by the Williams Group.
43:27Stepping out of the police station, I was completely stunned.
43:30The Williams Group, accused of massive financial fraud, its entire funding chain in jeopardy.
43:37Sophie had fled with the money, leaving the entire mess for the Williams family to clean up.
43:42It turned out she had exploited her position, embezzling funds and colluding with outsiders to orchestrate the entire scheme.
43:49Her repeated claims of being bullied by me were just a cover for her crimes.
43:54And Alexander had been in on it all along.
43:56The Gray family pulling out their investment?
43:59That was the final straw that crushed the Williams Group.
44:02I quickly hailed a cab and headed straight to the Williams Group headquarters.
44:07The CEO's office was empty.
44:09I dialed my father's number, my hands trembling.
44:13Dad, where are you?
44:15A long silence. Then, his hoarse voice.
44:18Emily, I'm sorry.
44:21Sorry for what?
44:24Where are you right now?
44:27It's my fault.
44:29From the very beginning, I shouldn't have indulged Sophie.
44:35I shouldn't have let you suffer again and again.
44:39I cut him off, panic rising.
44:41None of that matters.
44:43Just tell me where you are.
44:46It's too late.
44:48It's all too late.
44:50Dad!
44:51The line went dead.
44:52I looked up and froze.
44:54Through the floor to ceiling window, I saw a figure plummeting from the top floor.
44:59I collapsed to the ground.
45:01My phone slipping from my hands.
45:03Screams erupted from outside.
45:05The next day, the Williams Group officially declared bankruptcy.
45:09At my father's funeral, David was arrested for financial fraud.
45:14My mother couldn't bear the shock and fell gravely ill.
45:17She was sent back to my aunt's home to recover.
45:20The Williams family, once untouchably powerful, had crumbled overnight.
45:25That weekend, I went to visit David in prison.
45:28He looked gaunt, wearing prison garb.
45:30Through the glass, he choked back tears.
45:33Emily, I'm so sorry.
45:37I finally understand what it's like to be betrayed by someone you trust the most.
45:45Emily, I was blind.
45:49I ruined dad.
45:51I ruined the Williams family.
45:54David, I whispered.
45:56Just survive in there.
45:58He froze.
45:59Then tears streamed down his face as he nodded fiercely.
46:02When I left, David laughed.
46:05First softly, then hysterically, tears streaming down his cheeks.
46:09Karma.
46:11It's all karma.
46:13I had once naively thought that moving to San Francisco with Ryan to become the Scott family's young mistress was
46:20the perfect ending.
46:22But stepping into the Scott estate for the first time, reality hit me like a thunderclap.
46:27That afternoon, a woman in a Chanel couture suit stormed in, fury blazing.
46:32Before I could even react, she slapped me hard.
46:35Do you even know Ryan and I have been betrothed since childhood?
46:39I'm his rightful fiancere!
46:42I froze, my cheek burning.
46:45Later, I learned she was Rebecca Morrow, the only daughter of a major investment tycoon and Ryan's childhood sweetheart.
46:52That evening, Ryan came home and saw my swollen cheek.
46:56He immediately brought a first aid kit and gently applied cold compresses.
47:01Emily, I've always seen Rebecca as a sister.
47:05That childhood betrothal?
47:07It was just a formality from our families.
47:10I would never accept it myself.
47:12He even got down on one knee, holding my hand.
47:15Once I resolve this, I'll give you the perfect wedding.
47:19And in that moment, I still held on to hope.
47:22I thought he could fix everything.
47:24Until the next day, when the news came, Rebecca had attempted suicide and was rushed to the hospital.
47:30Ryan got the call and dashed out in a panic, barely grabbing a coat.
47:34He returned at 2am, utterly exhausted.
47:37Sitting beside me, he spoke cautiously.
47:40Emily, I can hold the wedding for you right now.
47:45And...
47:46Could you move out?
47:48Rebecca's in a fragile state.
47:50Wait until she's stable, then...
47:52I didn't even hear the rest.
47:54That last thread of hope snapped completely.
47:57I realized then, staying by his side meant a lifetime trapped in the chaos of wealth and family drama.
48:03If one Rebecca existed, how many more could follow?
48:07Handsome, rich, irresistible.
48:09Ryan could attract as many Rebecca's as he wanted.
48:12The thought made me shiver at the life I would be resigning to.
48:16I looked him in the eye, and said firmly,
48:19Ryan...
48:20We're getting a divorce.
48:22When I turned to leave, he grabbed my hand.
48:25I dodged it.
48:26I sneered.
48:26You promised me, no more suffering, no more abandonment.
48:31If you can, keep a promise.
48:34Don't say it.
48:35That day, I walked out of the Scott Estate alone.
48:39The early autumn wind kissed my face, and for the first time in my life, I felt truly free.
48:45After the divorce, Ryan gave me a settlement.
48:48With that, I moved to Los Angeles.
48:51Here, opportunities are equal, and women can chase careers without compromise.
48:57I opened a fashion studio on Beverly Drive, calling it one, signifying unique, unparalleled.
49:04Now, one has earned a solid reputation in the city.
49:07Ryan occasionally comes to Los Angeles on business, sometimes visiting my studio with friends, sometimes alone.
49:14Whether he eventually married that childhood fiancé, I don't care.
49:19I used to define myself by others' choices, trapped by abandonment and resentment.
49:25Now, I am no longer a vine clinging to someone else.
49:29I am a tree standing on my own.
49:31I sway with the wind.
49:33I grow in the sun.
49:35This is the way I truly belong in the world.
