00:00Mon frère voulait la mort pour sa chanteuse d'adoption.
00:03Sur le film d'un défilé d'un défilé, il a mis un gars de la nourriture de la nourriture
00:09sur le stage
00:11et a mis vie en un spectacle.
00:14Under le spotlight, sa uniforme de Uber Eats était ridiculièrement hors de place.
00:20Le public s'est éloigné en rafleur.
00:22Quoi est ce gars de la nourriture de la nourriture ?
00:25Oh mon Dieu, le William Ceres va se marier un gars de la nourriture ?
00:29I stood, frozen, my brother strode up, wrapped his arm around me, and whispered
00:36Emily, last time you gave Sophie food poisoning and 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 to make her feel
00:48better.
00:49She's young, just indulge her a little.
00:53Don't worry, it's just for show.
00:55There's no way the family would actually let you marry a delivery guy.
01:00The live studio erupted into chaos.
01:04The host quickly tried to smooth things over, asking the delivery guy with a smile.
01:10Hello, this is a live broadcast, a dating show.
01:13Are you perhaps lost ?
01:15That was when a snort of laughter rang out from the audience.
01:19Ha ha ha, he's not blind.
01:20Since he stepped on stage, it means he's willing to match with Emily.
01:24I turned sharply and met Alexander Grey's cold gaze.
01:28He sat in the VIP section, dressed in an Armani Haute Couture suit, hands folded on his knees.
01:35His demeanor was that of a completely detached spectator.
01:39My heart ached so much, I could barely breathe.
01:43We'd had a secret relationship for seven years, and we'd agreed to go public today on this show.
01:50From the moment the show began, I kept waiting for him.
01:54He never came on stage.
01:56Instead, what I got was his cold, detached gaze from the sidelines.
02:02The host, sensing gossip, asked,
02:05Mr. Grey, 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?
02:17That's just a wild misunderstanding.
02:20David Williams shot to his feet, pointing at Alexander.
02:24His thundering voice echoed throughout the studio.
02:27Alexander Grey.
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?
02:38A few Nepo babies in the front rows snickered and whispered loud ringing for everyone to hear.
02:44Isn't it obvious?
02:46Mr. Grey has already moved on.
02:48I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.
02:51Alexander was at a Tiffany store shopping for 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, I 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, then I have the courage to choose him.
03:23David grabbed my wrist.
03:25Emily, have you lost your mind?
03:27I looked up at him, tears betraying me and falling.
03:32When we were little, David 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, David revolved around her and 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 live stream.
03:54The William Ceres 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, and walked towards the figure in the delivery uniform on the other side
04:14of the stage.
04:15The crowd parted automatically, their mocking eyes pricking me like needles.
04:21As I passed Alexander, he stood up and blocked my path.
04:25Emily, don't be reckless.
04:27He lectured me impatiently.
04:29I know you're angry with me, but there's no need to get back at me like this.
04:32When I didn't respond, he softened his tone.
04:35We grew up together.
04:37I've always thought of you as a little sister.
04:40Listen to me, come 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 with a mocking curve on my lips.
04:50A little sister?
04:52Alexander stammered, his eyes darting away, unable to meet my gaze.
04:57I stared straight at him.
04:59Alexander, is 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, at least have the decency to be honest.
05:12He hesitated, his 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, will you marry me?
05:28In that moment, all 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, watching me with indifference.
05:49Under countless flashing lights, the delivery guy slowly took off his helmet.
05:55A handsome face was revealed under the lights, with deep, sharp features.
06:00Especially those eyes, captivating.
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, David charged towards the stage, only to be pulled back by Alexander.
06:19If you go up there now, you'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, slowly fell silent.
07:07Then, Sophie appeared.
07:09She was a distant relative from my grandmother's side, with features that vaguely resemble mine.
07:15After hearing her parents had died in a car accident, my 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, seemed to be forgotten by everyone.
07:40Until two years ago, when 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 and deliberately kept their distance from me.
07:54I still remember the night I returned.
07:57Standing outside the door, I overheard my mother comforting Sophie.
08:01Sophie, Sophie, 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.
08:19She's not as understanding and sweet as you are.
08:26I 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 and quickly became a trending topic online.
08:41When I returned to the villa, the whole family was sitting on the living room sofa chatting.
08:45When David finished telling them the story, my 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, don'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, we've had to accommodate her, and you've been forced to suffer.
09:56My father, this all, it's been a silly prank.
10:02She won't actually do it.
10:05My father chimed in.
10:07Sophie,
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, my mother picked up a brand new Chanel bag and 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.
10:42The bag in her hand fell onto the couch with a thud.
10:47Three 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, watching 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, a 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, his long fingers picking up the menu with commanding ease.
11:40Ryan Scott.
11:41I pulled a bank card from my bag and 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, we'll go register our marriage.
11:58Ryan glanced briefly at the card, but didn't take it.
12:02Instead, he looked up and met my eyes directly.
12:06Miss Williams, are you truly set on marrying a delivery guy like me who has nothing?
12:11My heart clenched, and 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 and pushed the card back towards me.
12:27What are you doing?
12:28I asked, confused.
12:31He simply smiled.
12:33A real man doesn't need a woman's money.
12:36One week from now, I'll see you at the courthouse.
12:39I nodded.
12:40Okay.
12:42After parting ways with Ryan, it was already evening.
12:45When I returned to the mansion, my family was having dinner.
12:50Alexander was there too, sitting right next to Sophie.
12:54My appearance instantly wiped the smiles off everyone's faces.
12:59My appearance made all the smiles vanish instantly, plunging everyone into an awkward silence.
13:06David was the first to react, waving me over.
13:09Emily, come join us for dinner.
13:11I shook my head.
13:14Not hungry.
13:15I'm going upstairs.
13:17As I turned to leave, my 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, hesitating for a moment before speaking.
13:34Your father and I have discussed it, and we've decided to make your sister and Alexander's engagement official.
13:42I looked up at Alexander.
13:45He instinctively avoided my gaze.
13:48Seeing this, I laughed coldly.
13:51My mother grabbed my hand.
13:53I know you and Alexander have been close since childhood, but 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, interrupting her.
14:07Enough, mom.
14:10I have no objections.
14:13I wish my sister and future brother-in-law a lifetime of love and happiness.
14:18Forever and always.
14:20I hadn't expected Alexander to follow me.
14:24He held my wrist tightly, refusing to let go.
14:28I frowned.
14:30Alexander, what 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.
14:52Two years ago, when I first came back, Sophie was obsessed with framing me for various things, painting herself as
15:00the victim.
15:02Back then, no matter how I tried to explain, no one was willing to believe me.
15:07Except for Alexander, he would wrap his hands around mine and say,
15:13I 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.
16:52He sighed lightly and continued on his own.
16:56Emily, we grew up together and have many beautiful memories.
17:01Please, I 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,
17:11I 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.
17:31Behave from now on.
17:33And Don, if Sophie, any more trouble...
17:37I couldn't take it anymore.
17:39I shook off his hand and screamed.
17:42Get locked!
17:43In the blink of an eye,
17:45the day arrived for Ryan and me to register our marriage.
17:49Coincidentally, it was also Sophie's birthday.
17:52Over the past week,
17:54thanks 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,
18:04who would seriously believe the Williams heiress would actually marry a delivery guy?
18:10Even my parents and brother thought what I said on the show was just me throwing a fit,
18:14but they didn't know.
18:15I was utterly disillusioned and disappointed with this family,
18:19and had long wanted to leave.
18:21That morning,
18:23I was just about to go downstairs for breakfast.
18:26As I reached the staircase,
18:28I heard David shouting impatiently,
18:30Hurry up!
18:31Finds out we're taking Sophie to Miami for her birthday.
18:35She'll definitely make a scene and want to come along.
18:38My mother sounded hesitant.
18:40Are we really leaving Emily home alone?
18:43Won't she be upset?
18:46For some reason,
18:48I 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,
19:02pretending 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,
19:13we can buy her some extra gifts and cheer her up properly.
19:17Half an hour later,
19:18everything fell completely silent downstairs.
19:21I opened my door,
19:23and looked out at the sky,
19:25clear and blue,
19:26as if washed clean.
19:28What beautiful weather.
19:29I called for the butler waiting nearby.
19:32Mike,
19:33I have some good news for you.
19:34I'm getting married today.
19:36But I never,
19:37ever,
19:38expected that Ryan had arranged a fleet to pick me up.
19:42A line of sleek,
19:43all-black Rolls-Royce phantoms
19:45gleamed in front of the mansion,
19:47parked so perfectly
19:49that neighbors couldn't help but stop and stare.
19:52What surprised me even more
19:54was that he'd rented the city's largest digital billboard,
19:58looping announcements of our wedding for everyone to see.
20:02I sat in the car,
20:03staring at the spectacle,
20:05more fitting for a corporate merger than a personal celebration,
20:08and something about it felt off.
20:12Where did a delivery guy get this kind of money?
20:15But remembering his commanding composure from the coffee shop,
20:20my intuition told me his identity was anything but simple.
20:24Meanwhile,
20:25the Williams family's private jet had just landed in Miami
20:29when it encountered a severe hurricane,
20:31the worst in a decade.
20:33Looking at the sudden storm and torrential rain outside the window,
20:38Sophie frowned.
20:39Her grand birthday party was likely ruined,
20:42but they couldn't apply for a return flight that same day,
20:46so they had to schedule one for three days later.
20:49Three days later,
20:51when the Williams family returned home,
20:53they immediately sensed something was wrong.
20:56The butler and servants stood lined up in the entryway,
21:00not daring to make a sound.
21:01My mother was the first to react,
21:04frowning as she asked the butler,
21:06Where's Emily?
21:07The servants exchanged glances.
21:10Finally,
21:12the butler stepped forward,
21:13stammering,
21:15Young lady.
21:16She got married and moved out.
21:18You truly couldn't stop her.
21:20What?
21:21My parents and brother exclaimed in unison,
21:24their faces filled with shock.
21:27My father grabbed the butler's arm,
21:29demanding sternly,
21:30Who did she marry?
21:32It's that delivery guy
21:34who was pushed on stage
21:37during the show
21:38the day they registered at the county clerk's office.
21:41Not only did he send a Rolls-Royce fleet
21:43to pick Ness Williams up,
21:45but he also booked all the city's eyes advertising screens.
21:48The media followed the whole ceremony.
21:52Now, it spread throughout the entire upper-class circle.
21:58My mother's vision went black,
22:00and she went limp,
22:02caught just in time by David.
22:04She cried.
22:05This child,
22:07how could she be so foolish?
22:10What prospects does a livery guy have?
22:14It must be a romance scam.
22:18What if Emily gets kidnapped
22:20and taken to an organ farm?
22:24Sophie, while comforting my mother, sighed.
22:28How could Emily ruin the Williams family like this
22:31simply out of spite?
22:32And now she's made mom so worried,
22:35so immature.
22:36As she turned,
22:38David caught the victorious smirk
22:40she hadn't quite managed to conceal.
22:42He froze for a moment,
22:44then said coldly,
22:45Sophie,
22:46Sophie,
22:47now is not the time.
22:48Sophie was stunned.
22:50Unable to believe her always doting brother
22:53would speak to her like that.
22:55David stared straight at her,
22:57a sliver of doubt rising in his heart.
23:00Sophie,
23:01tell 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,
23:12was that actually true?
23:14Sophie opened her mouth to speak,
23:16but David cut her off.
23:18Be carefully before you answer.
23:21If I find out you lied,
23:23you know there are consequences.
23:27Tears welled up in her eyes,
23:28and she cried,
23:30gasping for breath.
23:31It was...
23:32It was me who was carelessness.
23:36I ate the wrong thing.
23:37I was afraid you'd say
23:39I 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,
23:51I had to embarrass her on national TV.
23:55His face was extremely grim.
23:57My mother also looked at Sophie in stunned disappointment.
24:01Sophie,
24:03how could you do this?
24:05Sophie,
24:06frightened,
24:07hid behind my father.
24:09Just as David was about to press further,
24:12My father suddenly spoke up to stop him.
24:15Enough.
24:16Sophie is just young and doesn't know any better.
24:19It was just a joke.
24:20Nothing major.
24:21David was dumbfounded.
24:23He looked at father's blatantly indulging expression.
24:27The words stuck in his throat.
24:29The sun was shining brightly outside,
24:31warming 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,
24:44in the past,
24:46Emily had tried to explain herself through tears,
24:50time 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,
25:01it wasn't me.
25:02But from start to finish,
25:03no 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,
25:20suddenly realizing with a start.
25:22All these years,
25:24his seemingly neutral silence,
25:26how was it any different from his father's outright favoritism?
25:31Thinking this,
25:32he turned and went upstairs without another word.
25:34Ryan rented an iconic villa in Beverly Hills.
25:38The house wasn't huge,
25:40but it was clean and tastefully maintained.
25:43There was an orange tree in the yard,
25:45laden with large, sweet fruit.
25:48The Williams family showed up at our doorstep
25:51just 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,
26:02he pointed at me and scolded.
26:03Emily!
26:06You'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.
26:15This is my home now.
26:17My father kicked a flower pot out of the way
26:19and pointed an accusing finger at my nose.
26:24That delivery guy doesn't even have a proper job.
26:29This isn't a real Marriag.
26:31It'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!
26:50My 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
27:03to make you throw away all your dignity?
27:06I let out a cold laugh.
27:07So in your eyes,
27:08is everyone outside the Williams family beneath you?
27:12Sophie acts cute and plays the victim,
27:14and that makes her a light!
27:16But I work for everything I have,
27:19and that's somehow me!
27:21To 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,
27:33then turned to me and coaxed softly,
27:35Emily, 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?
27:50How we live is none of your concern.
27:52I shot them a cold glance.
27:54At least he won't always put an adopted family member
27:58before his own blood, like you all do.
28:03My mother sighed.
28:05I know we wronged you before because of Sophie,
28:08but she's admitted her mistake.
28:11Can't you forgive her?
28:13I found everything utterly ridiculous.
28:16Last month, when Sophie falsely accused me
28:19of stealing her favorite Bulgari necklace,
28:21they froze all my credit cards.
28:24Now Sophie had made a mistake,
28:26and they think a few scolding words
28:29can just brush it aside.
28:30I looked up and said flatly,
28:33Fine.
28:36If you want me to come back, sure.
28:38My parents were both stunned,
28:40waiting for my next words.
28:41I took a deep breath and enunciated each word slowly.
28:45On the condition that you kick Sophie out of the Williams family.
29:03Hearing this completely expected answer,
29:06I 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
29:19and 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, apologize 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,
29:41not wanting to watch her hypocritical performance.
29:45Seeing I remained unmoved,
29:47she suddenly threw herself to her knees
29:49and wrapped her arms around my legs.
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, get up quickly!
30:09My father also frowned.
30:11Emily, your 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,
30:35her nails digging deeper,
30:36while crying out,
30:38I won't get up until you forgive me.
30:41I said let go,
30:44for 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,
30:59I raised my hand and slapped her heart across the face.
31:03That slap is for pinching me just now.
31:06Sophie covered her face,
31:08dumbfounded.
31:10Before she could react,
31:11I 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,
31:21collapsing to the floor,
31:22tears streaming down.
31:24Sister,
31:25I 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,
31:41examining her face.
31:43My father,
31:44enraged,
31:45raised 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
31:54never came.
31:55When I opened my eyes,
31:58a 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,
32:18I got you.
32:20Just then,
32:21a familiar voice came from outside the circle of people.
32:24I'd like to ask my father-in-law
32:27why he's laying hands on my wife.
32:30When Ryan walked in through the door,
32:32I almost didn't recognize him.
32:33He was wearing a black suit,
32:35and the watch on his wrist was an RM crystal polo,
32:39worth about 40 million.
32:41The bodyguards bowed in unison.
32:44Sir!
32:46My father was dumbstruck.
32:48A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses
32:50stepped forward
32:51and handed my father a business card.
32:53Mr. Williams,
32:55I am the special assistant
32:57to 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
33:10as he took the card.
33:14Scott?
33:16Scott?
33:16Which Scott?
33:17The Scott family,
33:19the wealthiest in San Francisco.
33:21The Scott Group.
33:23The assistant smiled faintly.
33:25Might I ask in what way
33:26is the Mr. Scott unworthy of Miss Williams?
33:29My father quickly withdrew his hand,
33:31forcing composure.
33:33Mr. Scott,
33:36this is all a massive misunderstanding.
33:39Misunderstanding?
33:40Ryan walked to my side
33:42and put his arm around my shoulder.
33:44I could have sworn I saw someone
33:46about 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
33:55how 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.
34:08We were just leaving.
34:09Sophie still stood frozen.
34:12My father grabbed her arm.
34:13Aren't you coming?
34:16Watching their hurried retreat,
34:18I shook my head with a bitter smile.
34:21After Ryan dismissed the bodyguards
34:24and his assistant,
34:25the villa was quiet,
34:26just the two of us.
34:27The atmosphere was undeniably awkward.
34:30Now that I knew his true identity,
34:33I couldn't help feeling self-conscious,
34:36and my gaze kept darting away
34:38whenever I looked at him.
34:41He noticed my discomfort
34:43and patiently explained,
34:44My father wants me to take over
34:46the family business.
34:49But I'd rather make my own way.
34:51To experience life
34:53and temporarily avoid
34:55the family arrangements.
34:58I took a job delivering food.
35:00That day at the show,
35:01I'd actually just finished
35:02my last delivery
35:03and was dragged along
35:04by 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
35:15in the financial district,
35:17you gave a business lunch
35:19you were about to throw away
35:20to 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
35:37out onto the balcony.
35:39We sat side by side.
35:41He told me many stories
35:42about his life in San Francisco.
35:44He said he'd been raised
35:46as the heir since childhood.
35:47He started interning
35:48in the family business at 15,
35:51and his first proposal
35:52saved the company
35:53tens of millions in costs.
35:55At 17,
35:57he independently managed
35:58an investment project
36:00whose return rate impressed
36:01even the bored veterans.
36:03By 25,
36:04he was driving the group's
36:06digital transformation,
36:07earning praise
36:08for his capabilities
36:09even from competitors.
36:11Suddenly,
36:12he stopped
36:12and turned to look at me.
36:14What about you?
36:16What was your life like
36:18before you met me?
36:19The question caught me off guard.
36:30Ryan quietly moved his lounge chair closer
36:33and listened attentively.
36:35I continued,
36:37recounting my past.
36:38By the end,
36:39my eyes were a little wet.
36:41Just as I was about
36:42to raise my hand,
36:43Ryan took it in his.
36:45He looked at me.
36:46It won't be like that anymore.
36:48With me,
36:49you will always be
36:51the first priority.
36:52No one can replace you.
36:54When we go back to San Francisco,
36:56I'll definitely make it up to you
36:57with a grand wedding.
36:58I looked up at him.
37:00The spark in his eyes
37:01was brighter
37:02than the city lights.
37:04The night breeze
37:05picked up again,
37:06gently swaying
37:07the wind chime
37:07on the balcony.
37:08Stars twinkled
37:09in the night sky.
37:11In that moment,
37:12my long,
37:13silent heart
37:13began to race.
37:14Before I knew it,
37:16spring had arrived.
37:17While browsing in a mall,
37:19I spotted a Dior fleece dress
37:21I liked.
37:21Just as I picked it up
37:22to try on,
37:23an annoying voice
37:25came from behind.
37:27Hey,
37:28I'll take that dress.
37:29I turned.
37:30It was Sophie,
37:31of course.
37:32She hurried over
37:32and tried to snatch
37:34the dress from my hands.
37:36Emily,
37:37I have a banquet next week
37:38and need a dress
37:39just like this.
37:40I held onto the hanger tightly,
37:43not yielding an inch.
37:44During the struggle,
37:45there was a commotion
37:46at the boutique entrance.
37:48The staff greeted respectfully.
37:50Mr. Gray,
37:51welcome.
37:51I looked up
37:52and saw Alexander
37:53standing in the doorway.
37:55He glanced at me
37:56dismissively.
37:57Emily,
37:58let Sophie have it.
37:59It's just a dress.
38:01I sneered.
38:02Why should I?
38:03Alexander frowned deeply,
38:06his tone impatient.
38:07Have you forgotten
38:08what I told you?
38:09If you want to be with me,
38:10the most important thing
38:13is to stop targeting
38:14Sophie everywhere,
38:15making a scene
38:16over a dress like this.
38:18How does that look?
38:19I was about to speak
38:20when a familiar,
38:21cool voice
38:22came from behind.
38:24Oh,
38:24I wasn't aware
38:25my wife had any intention
38:27of being with you.
38:28Alexander turned sharply,
38:30his face changing dramatically.
38:32What did you say?
38:33Ryan,
38:34holding my favorite cupcake,
38:36walked over slowly.
38:37He ignored everyone else,
38:39came to my side
38:40and naturally
38:41wrapped his arm
38:42around my waist.
38:43Mr. Gray,
38:44you must have just returned
38:45from your business trip
38:46and haven't heard the news.
38:48Emily is already
38:49legally married to me.
38:50She is now
38:51my Mrs. Scott.
38:53As the last word fell,
38:54Alexander was
38:55completely stunned.
38:57He first muttered,
38:59How is that possible?
39:02Then,
39:02as if remembering something,
39:04he looked sharply
39:05at Sophie.
39:07Is what he said true?
39:08Sophie's face turned pale
39:10and she whispered,
39:12The delivery guy
39:12from the show
39:14and also the sole heir
39:16of the Scott family
39:16from San Francisco.
39:18Alexander still asked
39:19unwillingly,
39:22Emily,
39:23did you really marry him?
39:26Before I could answer,
39:27Ryan stepped in front of me,
39:29blocking his view.
39:31You like this dress?
39:32He asked me,
39:33looking down.
39:34Then we'll buy it.
39:35Or should we just buy
39:37every new design
39:37in this entire store?
39:39With that,
39:40he handed a black card
39:41to the associate
39:42and paid without hesitation.
39:44When Ryan and I left,
39:46Alexander still stood rigidly
39:48in place like a statue,
39:50incessantly muttering to himself,
39:55impossible.
39:58Didn't she love me the most?
40:02Ryan's grandmother's
40:0380th birthday was approaching.
40:05These grand celebrations
40:06were really not my thing,
40:08but he wouldn't stop pestering me.
40:10Babby,
40:11can you really leave your husband
40:14to face all those
40:16socialite heiresses alone?
40:18He whined,
40:18leaning close
40:19and putting on a pitiful expression.
40:21When I still didn't budge,
40:23he edged even closer.
40:24And aren't you worried?
40:26Your husband's so handsome.
40:28What if some wealthy heiress
40:29sets her sights on him?
40:31I couldn't help but laugh
40:32and pretended to pinch him.
40:34In the end,
40:35I succumbed to his charming persuasion
40:37and accompanied him
40:38to the birthday banquet.
40:40Upon entering the Scott estate,
40:41I was stunned
40:42by the sheer extravagance
40:44of everything.
40:44A white,
40:45castle-like building
40:47stood at the center
40:48of a meticulously
40:49manicured garden.
40:50I had never seen
40:51such a luxurious
40:52private residence
40:53and found myself
40:54momentarily unable to move.
40:56Ryan sensed my nervousness
40:58and took my hand.
41:00Don't be afraid,
41:01just stay with me.
41:02Entering the main house,
41:03a crystal chandelier
41:05spanning over 30 feet
41:06nearly blinded me
41:08with its brilliance.
41:09The hall was filled
41:10with elegantly dressed guests,
41:12all sizing me up
41:13beside Ryan.
41:14He led me to the head table
41:15where the matriarch sat,
41:17surrounded by crystal glasses
41:18and silver candelabras.
41:20Grandma,
41:20happy Vedeth.
41:22Wishing you health,
41:23happiness,
41:24and many more
41:25wonderful years.
41:26He said,
41:27I quickly handed over
41:28the gift I'd carefully chosen.
41:30Grandma,
41:32I picked out this
41:33limited edition
41:34designer scarf for you.
41:36I hope you like it.
41:38A few scoffs
41:39echoed from nearby.
41:40One society lady
41:41rolled her eyes,
41:43a designer scarf.
41:44That's it.
41:46She's seen everything
41:47money can buy.
41:49Seriously,
41:50another whispered.
41:51At her age,
41:53she probably has
41:54ten of those already.
41:55This is so...
41:58basic.
41:59My cheeks burned
42:00and I opened my mouth
42:01to defend myself.
42:03But Mrs. Scott just smiled
42:04and accepted the gift warmly.
42:07She carefully touched
42:08the fabric of the scarf,
42:10her eyes lighting up.
42:11Oh my,
42:12this pattern.
42:13This is hands
42:15shipped by a master
42:16artisan's,
42:17is it?
42:18Not many young ladies
42:20would pick something
42:21so thoughtful these days.
42:23Ryan quickly added,
42:24Emily spent a long time
42:25choosing it.
42:28She said,
42:29this color and design
42:30suited you best.
42:34Well done, sweetheart,
42:36Mrs. Scott said,
42:37pulling my hand close.
42:39Compared to all those flashy,
42:41over-the-top gifts,
42:43this one's full of thought
42:44and care.
42:45The society ladies
42:47who had been sneering earlier
42:48suddenly went pale.
42:50Ryan shot a cold glance
42:52across the room.
42:53No one gets to judge
42:55the gift my wife gave.
42:57The room fell silent.
42:59Not a single guest
43:00dared to show disdain.
43:02Mrs. Scott
43:03patted the back of my hand.
43:05Come,
43:05sit next to me.
43:07Tell me how you found
43:08such a unique gift.
43:09Just as I sat down,
43:11a commotion erupted outside.
43:13A few uniformed
43:14police officers entered,
43:15their voices serious.
43:17Sorry to interrupt.
43:18We've received
43:19an urgent report.
43:20We need Emily Williams
43:21to come with us
43:22regarding an investigation
43:23into alleged
43:24major financial fraud
43:26by the Williams Group.
43:27Stepping out of
43:28the police station,
43:29I was completely stunned.
43:30The Williams Group,
43:31accused of massive
43:33financial fraud,
43:34its entire funding
43:35chain in jeopardy.
43:37Sophie had fled
43:38with the money,
43:38leaving the entire
43:39mess for the Williams
43:40family to clean up.
43:42It turned out
43:43she had exploited
43:44her position,
43:45embezzling funds
43:46and colluding with
43:47outsiders to orchestrate
43:48the entire scheme.
43:49Her repeated claims
43:51of being bullied by me
43:52were just a cover
43:53for her crimes,
43:54and Alexander
43:55had been in on it
43:56all along.
43:57The Gray family
43:58pulling out
43:58their investment?
43:59That was the final straw
44:01that crushed
44:01the Williams Group.
44:02I quickly hailed a cab
44:04and headed straight
44:05to the Williams Group
44:06headquarters.
44:07The CEO's office
44:08was empty.
44:08I dialed my father's
44:10number,
44:11my hands trembling.
44:13Dad,
44:14where are you?
44:15A long silence,
44:17then his hoarse voice.
44:19Emily,
44:20I'm sorry.
44:22Sorry for what?
44:24Where are you right now?
44:27It's my fault.
44:29From the very beginning,
44:32I shouldn't have
44:33indulged Sophie.
44:36Should have let you
44:37suffer again and again.
44:39I cut him off,
44:39panic 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.
44:53I looked up
44:53and froze.
44:54Through the floor-to-ceiling window,
44:56I saw a figure plummeting
44:58from the top floor.
44:59I collapsed to the ground,
45:01my phone slipping
45:02from my hands.
45:03Screams erupted
45:04from outside.
45:05The next day,
45:06the Williams Group
45:07officially declared bankruptcy.
45:09At my father's funeral,
45:11David was arrested
45:12for financial fraud.
45:14My mother couldn't bear
45:15the shock
45:15and fell gravely ill.
45:17She was sent back
45:18to my aunt's home
45:19to recover.
45:20The Williams family,
45:21once untouchably powerful,
45:23had crumbled overnight.
45:25That weekend,
45:26I went to visit David
45:27in prison.
45:28He looked gaunt,
45:29wearing prison garb.
45:30Through the glass,
45:31he choked back tears.
45:33Emily,
45:35I'm so sorry.
45:37I finally understand
45:39what it's like
45:39to be betrayed
45:41by someone
45:41you trust the most.
45:44Emily,
45:46I was blind.
45:49I ruined dad.
45:51I ruined the Williams family.
45:54David,
45:55I whispered,
45:56just survive in there.
45:58He froze.
45:59Then tears streamed
46:00down his face
46:01as he nodded fiercely.
46:02When I left,
46:03David laughed,
46:05first softly,
46:06then hysterically,
46:08tears streaming
46:08down his cheeks.
46:09Karma.
46:11It's all karma.
46:13I had once naively
46:15thought that moving
46:16to San Francisco
46:17with Ryan
46:17to become the Scott
46:18family's young mistress
46:20was the perfect ending.
46:22But stepping into
46:22the Scott estate
46:23for the first time,
46:25reality hit me
46:26like a thunderclap.
46:27That afternoon,
46:28a woman in a
46:29Chanel couture suit
46:30stormed in,
46:31fury blazing.
46:32Before I could even react,
46:33she slapped me hard.
46:35Do you even know
46:36Ryan and I
46:37have been
46:37betrothed since childhood?
46:39I'm his rightful
46:40fiancary!
46:42I froze,
46:43my cheek burning.
46:45Later,
46:45I learned she was
46:46Rebecca Morrow,
46:47the only daughter
46:48of a major investment tycoon
46:50and Ryan's
46:51childhood sweetheart.
46:52That evening,
46:53Ryan came home
46:54and saw my swollen cheek.
46:56He immediately
46:57brought a first aid kit
46:58and gently applied
46:59cold compresses.
47:00Emily,
47:02I've always seen
47:03Rebecca as a sister.
47:05That childhood betrothal?
47:07It was just a formality
47:08from our families.
47:10I would never
47:11accept it myself.
47:12He even got down
47:13on one knee,
47:14holding my hand.
47:15Once I resolve this,
47:17I'll give you
47:18the perfect wedding.
47:19And in that moment,
47:20I still held on to hope.
47:22I thought he could
47:23fix everything.
47:24Until the next day,
47:25when the news came,
47:27Rebecca had attempted
47:28suicide and was
47:29rushed to the hospital.
47:30Ryan got the call
47:31and dashed out
47:32in a panic,
47:33barely grabbing a coat.
47:34He returned at 2 a.m.,
47:36utterly exhausted.
47:37Sitting beside me,
47:39he spoke cautiously.
47:40Emily,
47:41I can hold the wedding
47:42for you right now.
47:44And
47:46could you move out?
47:48Rebecca's in a fragile state.
47:50Wait until she's stable,
47:51then...
47:52I didn't even hear the rest.
47:54That last thread of hope
47:55snapped completely.
47:56I realized then,
47:58staying by his side
47:59meant a lifetime trapped
48:01in the chaos of wealth
48:02and family drama.
48:03If one Rebecca existed,
48:05how many more could follow?
48:07Handsome,
48:08rich,
48:09irresistible.
48:09Ryan could attract
48:10as many Rebeccas
48:11as he wanted.
48:12The thought made me shiver
48:14at the life
48:14I would be resigning to.
48:16I looked him in the eye
48:17and said firmly,
48:18Ryan,
48:20we're getting a divorce.
48:22When I turned to leave,
48:23he grabbed my hand.
48:24I dodged it.
48:25I sneered.
48:27You promised me
48:28no more suffering,
48:29no more abandonment.
48:31If you can,
48:32keep a promise.
48:34Don't say it.
48:35That day,
48:36I walked out of the Scott estate
48:38alone.
48:39The early autumn wind
48:40kissed my face,
48:41and for the first time
48:42in my life,
48:43I felt truly free.
48:45After the divorce,
48:47Ryan gave me a settlement.
48:48With that,
48:49I moved to Los Angeles.
48:51Here,
48:52opportunities are equal,
48:54and women can chase careers
48:56without compromise.
48:57I opened a fashion studio
48:59on Beverly Drive,
49:00calling it
49:01One,
49:01signifying
49:02unique,
49:03unparalleled.
49:04Now,
49:05One has earned
49:05a solid reputation
49:06in the city.
49:07Ryan occasionally
49:08comes to Los Angeles
49:10on business,
49:11sometimes visiting my studio
49:12with friends,
49:14sometimes alone.
49:15Whether he eventually
49:16married that childhood
49:17fiancé,
49:18I don't care.
49:19I used to define myself
49:21by others' choices,
49:22trapped by abandonment
49:24and resentment.
49:25Now,
49:25I am no longer a vine
49:27clinging to someone else.
49:29I am a tree
49:29standing on my own.
49:31I sway with the wind,
49:33I grow in the sun.
49:35This is the way
49:35I truly belong
49:37in the world.
