00:00The CEO hated the daughter born from his ex-lover Jean, but he still cherished Jean herself.
00:03This led him to suspect that the child might actually be his.
00:06The next day, he secretly followed her to the hospital room of the little girl.
00:09To his surprise, he heard the child calling Jean's husband and uncle.
00:12Five years earlier, Jean had been about to announce her pregnancy when the man suffered another heart attack.
00:16The doctor declared that an operation costing 400,000 euros was the only way to save him.
00:20Unable to afford it, she turned to his mother,
00:22who agreed to pay only on the condition that Jean disappeared from his life forever.
00:26To save him, she accepted.
00:27Five years later, the little girl inherited the same heart condition.
00:30On the day of her medical examination, Jean ran into the man again when he regained consciousness.
00:34At that time, his arranged fiancé had told him that Jean had abandoned him.
00:38Seeing her now with another man and a child, he immediately believed she had betrayed him.
00:41Overwhelmed, he told her,
00:43I regret ever loving you.
00:44What he didn't know was that the man beside her was actually his younger brother.
00:47Jean chose not to disrupt his life further,
00:49especially since his mother would always oppose their relationship.
00:52To pay for her daughter's treatment, she sold her paintings through an art gallery.
00:54But when she visited the gallery office, she discovered that its main investor was none other than the CEO himself.
00:59Curious, he demanded the explanations he had never received.
01:02Jean remained silent.
01:03In frustration, he insisted, under the pretext of marriage, that she paint a portrait for him.
01:07When she refused, he threatened her by using her daughter's health as leverage.
01:10When she tried to resign, he warned her that if she left, he would have her blacklisted from the entire
01:14art world.
01:15For her daughter's sake, she had no choice but to stay quiet.
01:17This silence only deepened the pain for both of them.
01:20The next day was Jean's birthday.
01:21Her brother gave her a gift and invited her to dinner.
01:23The CEO noticed and ordered her to deliver the painting to his home.
01:26Once she arrived, he stopped her from leaving and said that the housekeeper had already prepared a meal.
01:30Jean tried to refuse, but her brother claimed he would be working late that night and couldn't join her, leaving
01:34her with no excuse.
01:35At the table, the housekeeper mentioned that none of the dishes contained ginger,
01:38a detail he had never forgotten after all those years.
01:40Deeply moved, Jean asked why he had done this.
01:42At that moment, the CEO's fiancé called, but he hung up without hesitation.
01:46From outside, however, she saw Jean dining with him and was consumed with jealousy.
01:50Immediately, she ordered her men to punish Jean.
01:52To avoid misunderstandings, Jean cut the dinner short and tried to leave.
01:55The CEO offered to drive her home, but she replied,
01:58If my husband sees us, he'll be furious with jealousy.
02:00As soon as she stepped outside, Jean was kidnapped by the fiancé's men.
02:04She screamed for help, but he didn't hear.
02:05Fortunately, he noticed one of her shoes had fallen on the road.
02:08He quickly ordered an investigation and learned that she had been taken away in his fiancé's car toward the mountains.
02:13There, the fiancé confronted Jean, shouting,
02:15Why did you come back after leaving?
02:16Jean replied that she had a child now and wanted no further connection with him.
02:19But consumed by hatred, the fiancé wanted to teach her a lesson.
02:22Knowing Jean loved to paint, she struck her hands with a branch and sneered.
02:26This is what he loves about you? I'll destroy it.
02:28Terrified, Jean promised to disappear forever.
02:30But the fiancé refused to stop and was about to disfigure her face.
02:33It was then that the man finally arrived at the scene.
