Short filmTranscript
00:02My husband's young secretary was splurging wildly with my card and even salted me at a French
00:06restaurant, calling me a useless housewife. Furious, I froze in the card, leaving her unable
00:10to pay. She was publicly humiliated and held by the manager overnight. The next day, when Kian
00:14found out, he tapped my nose lightly. You're still acting like a girl, getting jealous over a little
00:18girl and making her the laughingstock of everyone. He didn't blame me. He acted as if nothing had
00:23happened. Then came my birthday night. He took me to the same French restaurant and ordered dozens
00:26of expensive dishes and fine wine. Honey, I'll step out for a moment. I'll be right back to
00:30celebrate your birthday with you. But I waited until closing time, and he never returned.
00:35Nor did any of his friends show up. When I pulled out my card to pay. Mrs. Voss, your card
00:42has been
00:42frozen. Frozen? This card was given to me by Kian. Before we left, he had even taken my card, saying
00:47it was my birthday and he would cover the bill. I had been deeply touched, surriedly convinced I had
00:51married a sensible, loving husband. But now he was nowhere to be found, and I'd called him dozens of
00:55times with no answer. If this card didn't work, I would be in serious trouble. Mrs. Voss, do you
00:59have another card you can use? I must warn you, we do not allow credit here. You knew that from
01:05last month, didn't you? Of course I remembered. Last month, Kian's secretary had been recklessly
01:09spending with his card and calling me a useless woman. A terrible premonition crept over me. I
01:13suspected this was Kian's revenge, getting back at me for Chloe. Just as I thought that, the sound of
01:18leather shoes approached from outside. I turned quickly. It was Kian and his secretary, Chloe.
01:23That Scarlet is from a poor family. She just got lucky and caught the eye of Mr. Hale.
01:28Now her husband is here with his new lover, watching her make a fool of herself for not
01:33paying. See? This is what happens when you climb up using only your face. Right. Youth fades.
01:40How long can that last? Once a rich man finds someone younger and prettier, her luxurious life
01:45is over. I clenched my fists slowly, rage burning inside me at the humiliation. Scarlet,
01:50I'll pay you back exactly how you humiliated me that day. Thank you, Kian. Scarlet, you're nothing
01:55but a useless beauty. What right did you have to freeze my card? Now Kian will pay for me. I
02:00can
02:00smash as many bottles as I want and cover it, but you? You're finished. Stop staring at me like you
02:05want to kill me. If you have your own money, pay and leave. She doesn't have any money. Those dishes
02:10an opened wine cost a fortune. She's always lived off Mr. Hale's money. Without him, she's nothing.
02:17Anyone who dares to help Scarlet out of this meth is my enemy and an enemy of the Hale family.
02:22A business partner who had stood up to help me immediately sat back down at his threat.
02:25See? Mr. Hale is serious. He cares more about his little secretary than his own wife.
02:30I thought they were still legally married, that he was just angry. But it seems real.
02:35With his warning, no one dared to help me. Kian, you're really humiliating me for this woman?
02:39Is that what this is? Yes. I am exactly here to humiliate you.
02:45I stared at him in utter disbelief. We had been married three years, known as a loving couple.
02:52He had chased me to New York, and at our wedding, he swore he would be loyal to me forever,
02:58love me with his life until the end. But now, only three years later, all those vows,
03:05all those sweet memories had been completely destroyed by his cold cruelty.
03:09Just like Outsiders said, marrying into wealthy family based on Lux meant no dignity.
03:14Once someone younger and prettier appeared, your luxurious life ended.
03:20But Kian never knew I married into the Hale family not for their money,
03:24but because I loved him. As I stared at him with bloodshot eyes,
03:28Kian took out a tissue and disdainfully wiped the hand that had just held him.
03:31Mr. Hale is really going all out. After tonight, Scarlet be nothing to him.
03:34Quiet. Just watch. Let's see how she gets out of this.
03:36Before we left, Kian had taken my card to lower my guard. Worse, my phone died. Everything had been
03:43premeditated. It's getting late, Scarlet. The restaurant is waiting. You really don't have
03:49the money to pay, do you? If you can't pay, I wouldn't mind calling the police and having
03:53you detained for a few days. You did that to me, didn't you?
03:59What? Upset? Only state officials can set fires, but common people can't light lamps?
04:05The Hale family had risen to become the richest in New York in just three years,
04:08all because of me. I used my family's power to clear a path for them, even making underground
04:12forces that targeted the Hale family back off out of respect for me. I had planned to reveal my true
04:17identity on my birthday. To tell him I was not a commoner, but the heir of the most powerful of
04:24the four great families in New York. I even planned to take him home to meet my parents.
04:31I never imagined people could turn on each other so quickly. I misjudged him. I overestimated his
04:37character. Kian, do you really want me to leave this restaurant in shame and humiliation?
04:47What else? Did I arrange all this just for show?
04:50Hello? Scarlet, you can either be locked up for not paying or strip naked and bark like a dog.
04:58If I'm amused enough, I might let you go. I took a deep breath,
05:01the last shred of hope dying in my chest. Fine. You chose this.
05:05Then the collapse of the Hale family is your responsibility.
05:12Scarlet, have you been watching too many short dramas? Do you think you're some
05:15powerful heroine? You really think you can bring down the Hale family?
05:20Focus on your own problem. Manager? The manager stepped forward,
05:25his expression professional but firm. Ms. Voss, will you be paying in cash or will
05:31someone else cover the bill? Out of professional courtesy, the manager did not embarrass me.
05:36I scanned the room and finally looked at a business partner I had worked with before.
05:41I walked toward her. Before I could speak, the business partner held up her hand defensively.
05:50Scarlet, don't come near me. I can't pay for you.
05:54You missed her stand. I just want to borrow your phone to call a friend to come over.
05:57Still putting on an act? Who in New York would dare bring money to save you now? Go ahead and
06:06call.
06:06You have 30 minutes. If time runs out and you still can't pay, you'll regret it.
06:12Chloe stopped looking at me and exchanged a heated glance with Kian. The business partner hesitantly
06:19handed me her phone as Chloe signaled her to. I immediately called my friend and told her to
06:24bring money within half an hour. Time ticked away. Chloe grew impatient and stood up.
06:31Twenty minutes have passed. No one is coming. You're just stalling. Manager, seize her.
06:38Wait. There are still 10 minutes left. Scarlet, if anyone comes to save you,
06:44I will bite a piece of meat and crawl out like a dog. You won't regret it? Never.
06:51The room erupted into chatter again. Everyone was enjoying the show. As the 10 minutes neared their
06:57end, an overweight man grew impatient and reached out to touch me. Don't touch me.
07:03With this body, I can tell even without touching. Nice. Mr. Hale, why don't you give her to me?
07:10Kian shrugged, his eyes cold. Why not? If she can't pay, she's all yours.
07:15If hatred could take physical form, everyone in my sight would be lying on the ground,
07:19but there was no such miracle. Hold her down. Let those pigs have their way with her.
07:24I looked at Kian, my heart turning to ice. He didn't care at all. His eyes were fixed on Chloe,
07:30a faint smile on his lips. Don't look at me like that. I won't help you.
07:36I only care about making Chloe happy. We were still legally married,
07:40yet he treated me this way with no regard for our past. Beautiful. Come with me.
07:45I have enough money to pay for you. No, come with me. I'm a merchant in better shape.
07:51If you dare lay hands on me, you'll be begging for mercy soon enough.
07:56Still talking tough?
07:59Rip her clothes off. Time's up. No need to hold back.
08:02Before he could finish, a group of bodyguards in black suits burst through the door. Trained and
08:07disciplined, they pushed back everyone surrounding me. Right behind them was Vera Knight, the famous
08:12president of New York's largest bank. She carried a briefcase and strode in, her expression grave and
08:18unreadable. I brought the money. Am I late? Kian and Chloe jumped to their feet in shock.
08:25Mrs. Knight, why are you here? You're such an important figure. How could someone as insignificant
08:31as Scarlet possibly ask you to deliver money? Chloe rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was
08:36hallucinating. But after several blinks, reality hit her. It really was the renowned Miss Knight.
08:42Vera Knight didn't even glance at Kian or Chloe. She approached me with deep respect.
08:48Mrs. Voss. Mrs. Cross sent me ahead to resolve this. She is on her way now.
08:54Then, she turned to the stunned crowd, her voice like ice.
08:59Who gave you the nerve to treat Mrs. Voss with such disrespect?
09:04The noisy restaurant fell into deathly silence.
09:08If the Hale family was the richest in New York, Vera Knight's business connections and influence were
09:14enough to crush them. When the Hale family claimed the top spot, people had wondered how, but no one
09:21guessed it was all thanks to the housewife they looked down on. Kian had once said,
09:27I will become the richest man so I can let my wife spend as much as she wants.
09:32Now everything was different. I had made him a billionaire. I could also knock him off the peak.
09:40Faced with Vera Knight's fury, no one dared whisper. They only stared at each other in fear.
09:47Vera Knight's gaze swept across the room, her eyes sharp.
09:51Who order people to treat Mrs. Voss like this?
09:59Don't be afraid. I'm here.
10:02Sheltered by Kian, Chloe slowly calmed her panic. She lifted her chin defiantly.
10:08So what? Kian is the richest man in New York. I might fear Mrs. Knight, but Kian doesn't have to.
10:14With that, she regained her confidence and stood straight.
10:17I don't care what relationship you have with Mrs. Knight. In New York, the Hale family calls the shots.
10:24Such arrogance. If it weren't for Mrs. Voss, your little Hale family would have been devoured long ago.
10:32Everything the Hale family has today is because of Mrs. Voss. You don't know how lucky you are.
10:38I grew tired and no longer wanted to argue. Soon, I would strike against the Hale family
10:44and let Kian learn the consequences of offending me, Scarlet Voss. I stepped forward, my voice calm
10:51but carrying the weight of finality.
10:58I will pay the bill. Chloe, you haven't forgotten what you said, have you?
11:03Chloe shrunk back behind Kian. She provoked me first.
11:07Then, gathering courage again, she added.
11:10I said it! What are you going to do? In here Kian is in charge!
11:14You think you can humiliate me with Mrs. Knight? Dream on!
11:18I smiled coldly. Soon, when news of the Hale family's plummeting stock reached them,
11:25I wondered if Kian would still dolt on Chloe like this.
11:28Vera Knight frowned and signaled to the bodyguards. They understood and punched Chloe to the ground in
11:34front of me in an instant. She lay there, sprawled out, looking exactly like a dog.
11:42Since you made that promise, you will do as Mrs. Voss says. Bite the meat and crawl out like a
11:49dog.
11:50A bodyguard quickly brought over a plate of raw beef, bloody and fresh. Chloe immediately recoiled
11:56and vomited the sight. Kian, save me! I will never crawl out like this, without dignity!
12:03Chloe's scream enraged Kian, who ordered his men to take her away. A fight broke out between Vera Knight's
12:08guards and Kian's men. But Kian's men were quickly beaten to the ground. They stood no chance against
12:13professionally trained bodyguards. These guards had undergone strict military-level training.
12:22Chloe turned pale again, sweat dripping down her forehead. Kian glared at us furiously.
12:29Vera Knight, I give you an inch and you take a mile. Do you think I can't make you disappear
12:33from New York overnight? Don't stand against me for Scarlet. It's pure stupidity.
12:38Vera Knight ignored his threat and bowed respectfully to me.
12:41Everything is at your command, Mrs. Voss. I smiled and stared at Kian. What? You can humiliate me,
12:48but I can't get my revenge? Also have the lawyer bring the divorce papers. And be quick about it.
12:53As soon as I spoke, Kian roared. Scarlet, I should be the one filing for divorce.
12:58What right do you have to bring it up? You'll see how much right I have once you sign.
13:03By the way, your father might be here soon to beat some sense into his unfilial son.
13:09Shut up. Who do you think you are? Threatening me with my father? I see now. You love putting on
13:15a
13:15show. I don't know how you bribed Vera Knight, but she can help you once, not forever.
13:21Kian's face was red with fury. While we spoke, a nearby lawyer arrived with the divorce agreement.
13:27I signed my name and handed it to Kian. He snatched it, signed without hesitation,
13:33and threw it back at me. Now that we're divorced, I no longer have any reason to help the Hale
13:39family
13:39prosper. Within half an hour, I will release the word, and your stock will crash. Until the Hale
13:47family goes bankrupt. Kian and Chloe froze for a moment, then burst into shreer laughter,
13:53as if I were talking nonsense. Chloe pointed at me and laughed annoyantly.
13:59Scarlet, are you done pretending? You said that once to buy time, and now you're saying it again
14:04after someone paid for you? You think you can take down the Hale family with the Knight family
14:08backing you? Kian nodded, his expression smug. Do you know why the Knight family is only the second?
14:14Because the Hale family is above them. After divorcing me, Kian looked at me with pure disgust.
14:20Scarlet, out of old feelings, I'll give you one last chance to save face. You've paid the bill.
14:25Now kneel and Coho to Chloe to apologize. Then this will be over. I scorned Kian silently. Chloe
14:31hadn't even bitten the meat and crawled out, yet he wanted me to kneel and apologize to her. Was he
14:36insane? I checked my watch and smirked. Why don't you call your father and ask if the Hale family's
14:43stock is crashing? Kian saw I wasn't joking and began to panic. Just as he was about to call his
14:48father,
14:48Elias Hale burst through the door in his pajamas. You fool! How did I ever raise such a useless son?
14:56Elias shouted, his face pale with terror. Elias scolded Kian while bowing deeply to me.
15:01Daughter-in-law, you hid yourself so well. He straightened up, his voice trembling.
15:07You're Scarlet Voss, the heir of the most powerful of the four great families in New York?
15:12I hadn't heard the name Scarlet Voss in a long time. That was my real name, not the alias I'd
15:18used.
15:18I had hidden my identity to survey, never expecting Kian to pursue me, using every trick to make the
15:24naive me fall for his gentle act. Kian stared at his father in shock, then grabbed my arm.
15:30Scarlet Voss? Your real name is Scarlet Voss? The mysterious Voss heir of New York's top family?
15:36I coldly shook off his hand. Vera Knight immediately handed me a tissue to wipe my skin.
15:42Kian's face drained of color. If he remembered correctly, he had wiped his hand with a tissue
15:48just an hour earlier after touching me. Getting no response, he turned to his father.
15:53Dad, what's going on? Where's Chloe?
15:56Chloe waited anxiously for Elias' answer. She had heard of New York's Scarlet Voss,
16:01but never seen her in person. If I really was her, she was finished. And so was the Hall family.
16:08Elias glared at Kian, grinding his teeth.
16:10Yes, she is the legendary Scarlet Voss of New York, you idiot! You offended her for a worthless slut!
16:17With his confirmation, not only Kian but also Chloe was stunned. The entire room exploded in panic.
16:23What? Someone pinched me! Am I dreaming or is this real?
16:27Someone pinched another, who screamed in pain. Oh my god, it's real!
16:33Scarlet is really New York's Scarlet Voss! We mocked her! We're done for! What do we do?
16:41We even helped Kian and that bitch try to tear her clothes off!
16:45Their voices laced with panic. Panicked voices filled my ears. Everyone prayed I would overlook
16:51their offenses. I had said it before. Anyone who watched my humiliation would become the joke.
16:56Elias reacted first and kicked Chloe to my feet. You troublemaker! What gives you the right to go
17:02against Mrs. Voss? You let men try to tear her clothes off? You made her bite meat and crawl? How
17:07many lives do you have? Chloe was dazed, laying at my feet like a dog. This time, no one dared
17:16to back
17:16her up. She looked at Kian, begging for help. But Kian didn't even glance at her. He stared only at
17:25me.
17:26Elias shouted him. The Hale family's success today is all because of Mrs. Voss. I didn't know
17:31at first, but when I went to New York, I saw her sitting at the head of a table of
17:35billionaires,
17:36leading important negotiations. Right. That's when I realized my daughter-in-law was someone
17:41extraordinary. She planned to reveal her identity tonight, take you to New York to meet her family,
17:48and make you one of them. But you ruined everything for a useless nobody.
17:53Kian's eyes widened, and he began to tremble uncontrollably. He looked at me, mouth open,
17:58but no words came out. Reality left him no time to stay silent. Elias checked his phone and begged
18:03me urgently. Dear daughter-in-law, please stop them. The Hale group stock is crashing badly. If it keeps
18:12falling, the Hale family is finished. I straightened my clothes slowly, my eyes empty of emotion. I told
18:18you. I lifted the Hale family to the top, and I can drag them back into the dirt. Elias slapped
18:23Kian across the face without hesitation. What are you waiting for? Kneel and apologize to Mrs.
18:30Voss. Do you want to destroy the Hale family? Kian finally snapped back to his senses. He knew I was
18:36the only one who could fix this. He kicked Chloe in the face. This is all your fault. You turned
18:43us
18:43against each other. Men, hold her down and make her crawl out. Kian's men rushed over and pinned
18:49Chloe tightly. She cried and begged, terror in her tearful eyes. Kian, make them let go. I didn't
18:55want this. You were the one who said you'd get revenge for me. Shut up. You seduced me into
19:00doing this. Don't deny it. Chloe let out a hysterical laugh. Kian Hale, you're an expert
19:06at running from responsibility. You think punishing me will make Scarrett Voss forgive you or the Hale
19:10family? Dream on. It's impossible. Chloe was right. Even if Kian punished her, I would never let the
19:15Hale family off the hook. But father and son didn't understand. She won't. My wife is just
19:19angry. She loves me. Why else would she hide her identity and stay with the Hale family
19:23for three years? Kian still spoke arrogantly, trying to convince himself more than anyone
19:27else. That proves how much she cares. Once she calms down and I apologize, we'll get back
19:32together. He turned to his men, his voice cold. What are you waiting for? If she won't
19:36crawl, beat her. Beat her until she does. Chloe screamed in agony. Everyone cowered, terrified
19:44of offending the powerful. I'll do it. I'll bite the meat and crawl. Make them stop. My
19:50legs will break if they keep hitting me. To save her legs, Chloe finally kept her promise,
19:54reluctantly biting into a piece of raw meat and crawling out while barking like a dog a
19:58dog. With Chloe dealt with, I prepared to leave. Kian saw me leaving and quickly grabbed
20:04my arm. Wife, where are you going? I've punished Chloe. I'll never humiliate you for another woman
20:10again. Come home with me, please. I looked at him with a faint, mocking smile.
20:15Mr. Hale, are you insane? Please show some respect. We're divorced, in case you forgot.
20:21Don't call me your wife next time we meet. As I shook him off, my childhood friend Dax Cross
20:26arrived. Dax stepped between us, his tall frame blocking Kian. He looked at me with a mixture
20:32of exasperation and affection. Scarlet Voss? You refused a political marriage with me for
20:37him? He gestured dismissively at Kian. Terrible taste. He's not as handsome, not
20:43as noble as me. And most importantly, I've loved you faithfully for ten years. Him? He
20:48cheated after only three. The crowd gasped when Dax appeared. No one had seen my true
20:53identity. But everyone knew Dax Cross, one of the world's richest men. He was tall and
20:58strikingly handsome. Kian didn't compare, especially standing side by side. With Dax beside me, Kian
21:04finally felt threatened. Now that we were divorced and he had hurt me deeply, winning me back was
21:08impossible. Scarlet Voss? Who is he? Kian demanded, his voice laced with jealousy. Before I could
21:13answer, Dax glared at him contemptuously. Who am I? I'm her fiancé, obviously. Kian's
21:18face contorted. You're divorced now. She won't marry anyone else. I shook my head with a helpless
21:24smile. Dax had always been direct, never hiding his feelings. I said to Dax, let's go. I haven't
21:30visited my parents in a long time. Kian chased after us. Scarlet Voss? What about the Hale
21:35family? What about me? I paused but didn't turn around. Like I said before, as for you,
21:41we're divorced. You're none of my concern anymore. Kian finally broke down, tears streaming
21:46down his face. If I hadn't humiliated you for Chloe, if I had saved you halfway, would
21:51you have forgiven me? I finally turned to face him, my eyes devoid of warmth. If I wasn't
21:56Scarlet Voss, would you have realized your mistake? Would you have punished Chloe? Kian
22:00was silenced, unable to answer. I didn't stay any longer and left with Dax. In life,
22:07there are no what-ifs. A mistake's a mistake. There is no going back. The moment I stepped
22:13out of the French restaurant, the late autumn wind brushed my cheek. I tucked a loose strand
22:18of hair behind my ear. My high-end dress was stained and wrinkled, but it couldn't hide
22:23my innate nobilities. Scarlet, did you suffer? I shook my head and looked out at New York's
22:28busy streets. Neon lights glowed, but my heart felt no warmth. No. Better to see the truth
22:34early and be free. Better than waiting until it's too late. Dax started the car, and the
22:38black Maybach glided smoothly into traffic. He glanced at me. I've got people watching
22:42the Hale family. Hale stock is crashing hard. Elias has called me dozens of times begging
22:47for mercy. I ignored everyone. I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes. Do what must
22:52be done. Show no mercy. Images of Kian's panicked face and his last unspoken words flashed through
22:58my mind, leaving only cold indifference. I had once saved the Hale family and raised them
23:03to the top. But they didn't cherish it. They walked straight into destruction with their
23:07own hands. The car entered a private villa complex, my sea-secret residence in New York,
23:12far more elegant than the Hale family's flashy mansion. Ivy Cole waited at the door. Her eyes
23:18read as she hurried to help me. Miss, you're finally back. Are you all right? I'm fine.
23:25Have the kitchen make something light. Simple is fine. After washing up and changing into
23:30comfortable loungewear, a warm bowl of millet porridge eased my tension. Ivy Cole handed me a
23:36tablet. It showed the latest Hale group stock chart, a steep green drop with no sign of recovery.
23:41Comments were exploding online. Investors were dumping shares, and the Hale family's market
23:45value had nearly halved in hours. Ivy Cole reported quietly,
23:48Miss, Elias sent expensive gifts and a handwritten apology letter. I sent them back.
23:52Kian called you dozens of times. I blocked him. He sent many texts, all apologizing,
23:56saying he knows he was wrong and begging for another chance. I glanced briefly at the preview
24:00text, full of I was confused, I was blinded by Chloe, I only love you. They felt bitterly ironic.
24:04After three years together, he had never truly known me. Did he really think a few apologies could
24:09erase all the harm? That I would still soften at his sweet words? I set down my spoon. Ignore them.
24:16I thought for a moment. Notify all New York partners to end all cooperation with the Hale
24:21family immediately. Also, compile evidence of the Hale family's illegal activities over the using the
24:26Voss family's influence and send it to the authorities. Ivy Cole nodded and left. Dax sat beside me.
24:31Scarlet, are you going to completely destroy the Hale family?
24:33They struck first. Kian let Chloe humiliate me, even let men attack me. Did he ever think this
24:38day would come? No one crosses my bottom line, Scarlet Voss. Rest if you're tired. I'll handle
24:43things here. The night passed quietly. I woke at dawn to birds singing outside the window.
24:49Washing up, I received a call from Vera Knight.
24:51Mrs. Voss, good morning. The Hale group released an emergency statement begging for mercy this
24:56morning. They willing transfer 30 back to their goof to you, begging you to show leniency. Kian has
25:00been waiting outside our bank since early morning to first apologize. I had my men turn him back.
25:05I don't want them. Hale's shares are worthless to me now. Tell Elias. If he wants mercy, he must
25:11bring Kyan to my brother's grave and co-hoad until I'm satisfied. My older brother, Silas Voss,
25:16had come to New York to inspect the market for me, only to be ambushed by bandits. In truth,
25:20the Hale family had plotted against him to seize the Voss family's assets in New York.
25:25I had hidden my identity partly to test Kian and partly to gather evidence against the Hale family
25:31and avenge my brother. Vera Knight agreed and hung up. Ivis Cole entered. Miss, Mr. Cross is waiting
25:38downstairs. He wants to show you several projects in New York today. I nodded and changed into a simple
25:43black suit, outlining sharp lines, paired with high heels. My aura was overwhelming, a completely
25:49different person from the humiliated Scarlett the night before. Downstairs, Dax leaned against the
25:54car, eyes lighting up when he saw me. Scarlett, you look best in suits. I smiled and got in the
25:59car.
26:01Dax drove toward New York CDC. Though I had hidden my identity, I had never stopped expanding my
26:06influence in New York. Many companies were just some of my properties. I also controlled many tech
26:11and real estate projects. But Kian had never noticed. Always thinking I was a housewife
26:16dependent on him. The car pulled into a new office building housing my tech company.
26:21The director waited respectfully at the door.
26:23Mrs. Voss, you've arrived.
26:25We entered, and the director updated me on the company's progress. Dax stood beside me,
26:30adding details occasionally. Suddenly, noise came from the elevator. I turned to see Kian,
26:34disheveled, eyes bloodshot, struggling desperately against security to reach me.
26:37Scarlett, Scarlett Voss, see me. I know I was wrong. I really know. He horsely shouted.
26:44Scarlett, I shouldn't have been blinded by Chloe. Security held him back, but he fought wildly,
26:49regret and begging in his eyes. I shouldn't have done those things to you. Give me one more chance.
26:55I'll give you everything the Hale family owns. Just forgive me. Employees stared and whispered.
27:00I frowned and told security. Drag him out. Never let him near this place again.
27:04Yes, Ms. Voss. Scarlett, I know you still love me. You left everything in New York for me.
27:09You can't stop loving me. I watched coldly until he was gone,
27:13then turned back to the director. But I lost interest in the investition. Continue.
27:19Dax noticed my mood. Let's stop for today. I'll take you somewhere to relax.
27:25He brought me to a hot spring resort on New York's outskirts. It was quiet and secluded,
27:30far from the noise of the city. Soaking in the warm spring water, all my exhaustion melted away.
27:36Dax sat beside me. Scarlett, Kyan still thinks you hid your identity and stayed with him out of love.
27:42He never knew you had a purpose from the start. I stirred the water, creating ripples. Yes.
27:47He was too arrogant. He thought marrying him was the greatest luck of my life.
27:52He never wondered who I really was or why I chose him. When I first arrived in New York,
27:56Kyan had pursued me fiercely, gentle, generous, obedient, giving the new me a sense of belonging.
28:03With his apparent ambition, I thought he might be worth trusting. So I hid my identity to test him.
28:08I used the Voss family's power to clear his path, defeating rivals one by one,
28:14lifting the Hale family from obscurity to New York's richest. But as his status rose,
28:18so did his ambition and vanity. He began to look down on my commoner background,
28:23thinking I wasn't good enough for the richest man in New York.
28:25Women surrounded him, and Khloe was the most obnoxious. I hadn't ignored it. I had waited,
28:31for him to repent, and for the perfect chance to take down the Hale family.
28:35My birthday dinner had been that chance. To avenge Khloe, he set me up and humiliated me,
28:40letting me see his true colors clearly with no more hesitation.
28:43After the hot spring, Ivy Cole sent a message. Khloe had been abandoned by Kyan,
28:48then betrayed by those who once fawned over her.
28:52Penniless and hounded by debt, she ended up on the streets, picking rotten vegetables from markets,
28:57living in misery. Meanwhile, Elias, to save the family, had indeed taken Khloe into my brother's
29:02grave, cow-aiding for three full hours until his forehead bled heavily. Still, I did not relent.
29:07My brother's life could not be repaid with a few cohorts. What the Hale family owed me owed the Voss
29:12family I would take back, every last bit, with interest. Days passed. The Hale family's situation
29:17worsened. Partners canceled contracts. Banks demanded repayment. Authorities launched
29:21investigations. The Hale group soon collapsed and declared bankruptcy. Elias could not bear the
29:26shock and suffered a cerebral harmrage, falling into a vegetarial state. Kyan went from the proudest,
29:32richest man in New York to a penless nobody overnight. He sold all his houses and luxury
29:37cars to pay for his father's medical bills, but it was nowhere near enough. He tried countless ways
29:42to see me, but I turned him aligned every time. He even went to beg the Voss elders, but they
29:47hated
29:47him and chased him away. One day, I accompanied Dax to a business anquent. Famous and wealthy figures
29:53filled the hall. As the Voss family heir from New York, I became the center of attention. Many who had
29:58once looked down on my commoner background now flattered me, their smiles obtisious, a stark contrast to
30:04their cold mockery that night at the French restaurant. Dax stood beside me, protecting me
30:10the entire time. His gentle affection impossible to hide. Halfway through the banquet, a commotion
30:17broke out at the door. Kyan appeared, ragged, hair graying, face worn and exhausted, a completely
30:23different man from the confident Mr. Hale just months ago. He broke through security and ran toward me,
30:29falling to his knees with a thud. He grabbed my dress and begged desperately.
30:34Scarlet, I know I was wrong. I really do. Please save my father. Please give me a way to live.
30:39I don't want anything. I just want to stay by your side. I'll be your servant. I'll do anything.
30:45Everyone watched, pointing and sneering. I looked down at him, emotionless. I gently pulled my clothes
30:50free and stared down at him. Kyan, look at yourself. What have you become? He looked up,
30:55tears streaming down his face. I'm a dog. I'm nothing but a dog. Scarlet, please forgive me.
31:02Give me one more chance. A chance? I gave you so many chances. When you let Chloe humiliate me.
31:09When you hit me. When you watched men attack me and did nothing. Did you ever think this day would
31:14come? I was blinded by Chloe. I was confused. Scarlet, I've only ever loved you. You're the only one I
31:21love.
31:21Love me? Your love is too cheap. I don't want it. Kyan, remember this. You destroyed everything
31:28between us. You pushed the Hall family to ruin. This is all your own doing. No one else is to
31:33blame.
31:33I paused, gaze sweeping his pale face. Besides, you never loved me. You loved the Vos power behind me.
31:40You loved a tool that helped you reach the top. Now the tool is gone, you come crawling back?
31:46Do you really think that's possible?
31:48He and Ness faced her nation. He sat on the floor, his light fading away. He opened his mouth but
31:53could
31:54say nothing. Security dragged him away. His screams and pleas faded into the night.
31:59I want to show you something. I want you to have everything you've ever dreamed of.
32:03I nodded and looked up at the starry sky, my heart clear and calm. Yes, it was all over. The
32:09shameful
32:10past, the painful memories, gone with the fall of the Hale family. After the banquet, Dax drove me home.
32:15As we rode through the night, he suddenly said,
32:18Scarlet, look how bright the stars are tonight. I looked up. The sky was dotted with stars,
32:23shining brilliantly, just like my future. Dax stopped the car and turned to me.
32:28Scarlet, I've waited for you ten years. From reckless youth to calm maturity, I've never changed.
32:35Now Kyan is gone from your life. Will you give me a Jankweth to stay by your side,
32:40to protect you forever? I looked into his deep, devoted eyes, and warmth filled my heart.
32:46Ten years. Dax had been with me for a decade. He stood by me in my hardest times. He managed
32:52everything while I hid my identity. He rushed to defend me the moment I was humiliated by Kyan.
32:57I had felt his love all these years, but I had been too focused on revenge and plans to notice
33:01the
33:02warmth beside me. I smitely and nodded. Okay. Dax's eyes lit up instantly. He held my hand carefully,
33:09as if holding the whole world. The night wind blew gently outside, carried a fate fragrance.
33:14I leaned on his shoulder, watching the stars, full of hope. Kyan's regret meant nothing to me.
33:21The Hall family's destruction was their own fault. I, Scarlet Voss, heir of the Voss family,
33:26had finally escaped my dark past and stepped into the light. With Dax by my side, the Voss family
33:32behind me, and my own efforts, my future would be full of flowers and endless glory. And those who had
33:37hurt me, would spend the rest of their lives in regret.
