After The Lunch Was Stolen 💕 ☘ ☘

Short filmTranscript
00:00After I returned to the company from a 6 month business trip, the lunch my housekeeper brought me had been
00:05stolen 7 days in a row.
00:07Today, I saw my husband's newly hired assistant trying to take my lunch again.
00:11I grabbed it all without hesitation, but I didn't expect her to start cursing at me.
00:16Who the hell are you? I can have you fired with a single word.
00:19I didn't respond.
00:20Listen up, this company belongs to my husband.
00:25You should be honored that I like your food.
00:27Better learn your place. Go buy me some snacks now.
00:29I nearly laughed at how absurd she sounded. I've never seen such a self-righteous person.
00:34I immediately called my husband, Chris Green.
00:37Chris, is your new wife so poor she can't even afford a meal?
00:41I had just hung up when the assistant grabbed my collar and started shouting insults.
00:46Everyone knows that here, gifts from home or takeouts, you have to offer me a share first.
00:52This lunch of yours is obviously homemade. You should be honored, not so petty.
00:57I was so furious, I almost laughed. I've never seen such a shameless person.
01:02As she spoke, she reached out again to snatch the lunchbox from my hands.
01:06Her tone grew even more arrogant.
01:08You must be new, right? You don't know who I am?
01:11Let me tell you, Mr. Green is my husband. This whole company belongs to me.
01:15Who do you think you are, daring to offend me?
01:17Let go.
01:19It was ridiculous. How could Chris allow such a parasite to grow inside his own company?
01:24She was actually stealing employees' lunches.
01:27How did she even get hired?
01:29My calmness made her angrier.
01:31Her grip on my collar tightened as she shoved me against the wall.
01:34Let go?
01:35You don't understand human language?
01:38I'm eating this lunch today, and if you know what's good for you...
01:41I grabbed her and applied a bit of force.
01:43She screamed.
01:44You fucking dare touch me?
01:46I'm Mr. Green's wife. Touch me and he will make sure you'll be kicked out of Shore City.
01:52The employees gathered around when they saw this.
01:55I naturally assumed they were being exploited too, and had come to confront this assistant with me.
02:00But instead, their faces were full of flattery.
02:03Karen helps us handle so much work every day.
02:06What's wrong with eating your lunch?
02:07Exactly. Newcomers who don't the rules do need some lessons.
02:10Everyone knows Karen under Mr. Green.
02:11Offering her things is an unspoken rule here.
02:13What's wrong with you?
02:14Karen eating your lunch means she thinks high of you.
02:16This newcomer really don't know her place.
02:18With people backing her up, Karen didn't forget to threaten me,
02:21even while baring her teeth in pain.
02:23Did you hear that?
02:24Everyone in the companies knows this.
02:27Harding apologized, then I'll respectfully hand-wear the food.
02:30Otherwise, you'd be kicked out.
02:31I scanned those boot-licking faces and felt confused.
02:34I'd only been gone for half a year.
02:36How had Chris let the company's culture rot like this?
02:40He had always been strict.
02:41Once, a department manager was scolded so badly that he resigned on the spot just for having an
02:46employee pick up takeout for him.
02:48It seemed this assistant had been abusing her power while Chris was away.
02:52I looked at Karen's smug face and sneered.
02:55So what if I don't give you my lunch?
02:57As soon as she heard that, Karen raised her hand and slapped me.
03:01I reacted quickly, grabbed her wrist, and slammed her against the wall.
03:05Her head hit the wall and she screamed in pain.
03:08How dare you?
03:09You actually hit me?
03:10I sighed out, lifted my leg, and kicked into her knee.
03:13Someone come here!
03:15Teach this crazy woman a lesson!
03:17Several burly men in black suits rushed over.
03:20Karen pointed at me and shouted,
03:21It's her!
03:23She dared to defy me!
03:24Break her legs if you have to!
03:26The bodyguards reached out to grab me.
03:28Stop!
03:28You're Chris's people?
03:30You don't even recognize me anymore?
03:32They paused, clearly finding me familiar.
03:34Hesitation showed on their faces.
03:36I shook free of their hands.
03:38I'm Chris's legal wife.
03:40Don't you know who you should be listening to?
03:42Before I could finish speaking, Karen suddenly left.
03:46What the fuck are you talking about?
03:48Everyone in the company knows I'm with Chris.
03:50She pointed at the two bodyguards and said,
03:52They were personally assigned by Chris to protect me.
03:55Who the hell are you?
03:57The bodyguards exchanged a look as if they had thought of something.
04:00They reached for me again.
04:02Mr. Green gave instructions.
04:04Karen's safety comes first.
04:05Anyone who interferes with her doesn't deserve mercy.
04:07Someone suddenly kicked me hard in the back.
04:10I stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
04:12Before I could push myself up,
04:14the two bodyguards pinned my shoulders,
04:16their knees pressed hard into my back.
04:18Looking down at me, Karen said,
04:20How dare you pretend to be Chris's wife?
04:23Today I'll show you who really runs things here.
04:25She raised her hand and slapped me again and again.
04:28The sound echoed down the hallway,
04:30mixed with the sharp intakes of breath from the surrounding employees.
04:34Half my face quickly swelled.
04:35Blood seeped from the corner of my mouth.
04:38Stubborn, huh?
04:39The slapping continued.
04:41Do you know you were wrong yet?
04:42I was pinned down and couldn't move.
04:45I could only grit my teeth.
04:47Keep hitting her.
04:48Beat her until she gives in.
04:50The order given, the bodyguards continued to beat me.
04:54Stop hitting my mommy!
04:58I jerked my head to the side and saw Elsa being dragged by Eric.
05:02Her small body struggled desperately forward.
05:05Elsa!
05:05I wanted to tell her not to come over.
05:07But the moment I opened my mouth,
05:09the taste of blood surged up my throat.
05:11They're bad people!
05:13They're bullying my mommy!
05:14Karen was startled by the sudden disturbance.
05:16The viciousness in her eyes deepened.
05:19Where did this little brat come from?
05:20You dare meddle in my business?
05:22Elsa had never been shouted at like this before.
05:24She trembled in fear,
05:26yet still craned her neck and shouted back.
05:28You're a bad person!
05:30You stole our food and hit my mommy!
05:32You're asking for it!
05:34Being talked back to by a child humiliated her even further.
05:37She lifted her foot and kicked toward her.
05:39Eric reacted quickly and shielded Elsa behind him.
05:42This is Mr. Green's daughter!
05:44How dare you!
05:45Karen laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke.
05:49Mr. Green's daughter?
05:51I think she's just some bastard.
05:53How dare you pretend to be Mr. Green's child!
05:55Get last!
05:56Elsa was frightened by her ferocious expression
05:59and burst into tears.
06:00She clung tightly to my arm and refused to let go.
06:03Let go of my mommy!
06:05If you hit my mommy again,
06:07I'll ask daddy to fire you!
06:11You still dare to mention Chris?
06:13Karen raised her hand and swung it toward Elsa's face.
06:17I suddenly threw off the bodyguards, pinning me down.
06:21Get away from her!
06:22They hadn't expected me to still have the strength to fight back.
06:25They stumbled back a couple of steps.
06:27As I lunged forward,
06:28Karen's hand had already landed on Elsa's arm.
06:31It didn't hit her face,
06:32but it shoved her so hard she staggered.
06:34I pulled my daughter into my arms.
06:36She was shaking all over,
06:37but she still asked me carefully.
06:39Mommy, does it hurt?
06:41They're bad people.
06:42I'll tell daddy.
06:44Elsa had left teeth marks on Karen while struggling.
06:47You little dare you bite me!
06:48Karen.
06:49I looked up.
06:51Half my face was swollen, numb.
06:53If you touch my daughter again today,
06:55I'll make sure you get serious punishment.
06:58She was startled by the viciousness in my eyes.
07:00Oh, think you can scare me?
07:02Useless trash who got beaten to the ground
07:04still dares to threaten me?
07:06I think you've been beaten stupid.
07:08As she spoke,
07:09she reached out again to grab Elsa.
07:11Where did this bastard come from?
07:13Get her out of here!
07:14Veins bulged on my forehead.
07:15She is Chris's daughter.
07:17Don't you dare touch her again.
07:22Karen burst out laughing.
07:25Chris's daughter?
07:27How come I've never heard he has such a bastard?
07:30She stepped closer.
07:31Her gaze sweeping over the trembling Elsa.
07:33Since you failed to educate her properly,
07:36I'll teach her how to behave for you.
07:38Drag her away!
07:39Teach her some manners!
07:40The bodyguards hesitated for a moment.
07:42In the end,
07:43they still reached toward Elsa in my arms.
07:46Seeing this,
07:47Eric stomped his feet in panic
07:49and rushed forward to stop them.
07:50Stay down!
07:51Eric stumbled into the wall
07:53and let out a painful groan.
07:55He still roared.
07:56You can't touch Elsa!
07:58Mr. Green won't let you off!
07:59Karen stepped on the hand I was using
08:01to protect Elsa
08:02and grounded under her heel.
08:04I make the rules here!
08:06Today I'm not only going to slap the kid,
08:08but also make you
08:09watch her cry!
08:11What are you standing around for?
08:13Do it!
08:13Mommy!
08:14My daughter was on the verge of tears.
08:16What's all this noise about?
08:17At that moment,
08:18hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.
08:23He strode quickly to Karen's side.
08:25What happened?
08:26Are you hurt?
08:27Karen shook her head.
08:28She looked aggrieved.
08:29I was just caring about the employees.
08:32I was curious about what she was eating.
08:34I didn't expect her to say
08:36I wasn't worthy of knowing.
08:37Chris turned to look at me and frowned.
08:39Rachel,
08:40can't you stop making trouble for me?
08:42You've only been back
08:43from a six-month business trip
08:44for one day
08:45and you're already causing trouble.
08:48She was the one who stole-
08:50Enough!
08:50I don't care who's at fault.
08:52The whole company is watching a joke right now.
08:54Look at yourself.
08:55You're fighting like a shrick
08:56and you even brought your kid here
08:57to make things worse.
08:58You're not ashamed,
08:59but I am.
09:00Daddy, that's not-
09:01This isn't your place to speak.
09:03You're nothing but trouble.
09:04You've always been this way.
09:06I'm already exhausted
09:07dealing with company seers.
09:08Can't you behave yourself for once?
09:10Karen is Ipiregi,
09:12a high-pricer-rent-signed
09:13and you went straight to using violence.
09:15If anything happened to her,
09:16could you afford the consequences?
09:18Chris,
09:18can you get your facts straight?
09:20She stole my lunch
09:21and even called Elsa a bastard.
09:22It's just food.
09:23You should be on
09:24that she wanted your lunch.
09:25I know you were the one
09:26making a scene first.
09:28Rachel,
09:28no matter what you do,
09:29you still reek of small-time thinking.
09:31No wonder you'll never amount to anything.
09:33Small-time thinking.
09:35I laughed.
09:36He had stayed in a position of power
09:38for too long
09:38and had forgotten
09:39what kind of charity case
09:41he used to be.
09:42How can you say that about mommy?
09:46Don't call me daddy.
09:47I don't want a daughter
09:48as ill-mannered as you.
09:50Leave now.
09:51Stop being an eyesore here.
09:57I looked at the man in front of me
09:58who felt utterly unfamiliar.
10:00My heart finally turned to ice
10:02after I went on my business trip.
10:05Chris said he was busy with work
10:07and sent Elsa to stay with my parents
10:08in just half a year.
10:09He had not only forgotten me,
10:11he was even this heartless
10:12to our own daughter.
10:15Chris,
10:15you really are something.
10:17Fine.
10:18Since I'm such an eyesip to you,
10:20I quit.
10:21Looking at the impatience
10:22written all over Chris's face,
10:24I suddenly laughed.
10:26Chris raised an eyebrow
10:27as if he had heard a joke.
10:29You think quitting
10:29will solve the problem?
10:31Rachel,
10:31do you think this is child's play?
10:33Not just that.
10:34Chris,
10:35we're getting a divorce.
10:37The moment those words fell,
10:39the surroundings
10:39went completely silent.
10:41Even the smugness
10:42on Karen's face
10:43froze for a split second
10:44as she looked at Chris.
10:45She seemed to realize
10:46in shock
10:47that I really was Chris's wife.
10:49I thought he would
10:49at least hesitate.
10:50He didn't.
10:51He only frowned and said,
10:53Fine.
10:54If that's what you want.
10:55Noticing Karen's gaze,
10:57he reached up
10:57and straightened his collar.
10:59Yeah,
10:59she is my wife.
11:00Well,
11:00she was.
11:01From now on,
11:02I only want you.
11:06You can resign,
11:07but you'll have to pay
11:08the breach of contract penalty.
11:10And Karen was frightened today.
11:12So you still have to pay
11:13the compensation for motion.
11:14He seemed to think of something
11:16and then said,
11:17Well,
11:17you can just transfer
11:18that Riverside you own
11:19in Shore City to Karen's name.
11:21That will cover both amounts.
11:22Karen's eyes lit up instantly.
11:24She might not know
11:25the villa's exact value,
11:26but the words
11:27Shorechester Riverside alone
11:28were enough to make her excited.
11:30She immediately hooked
11:31her arm around Chris's
11:32and looked at me provocative.
11:33Chris,
11:34you're the best.
11:35I raised an eyebrow
11:36and turned to my housekeeper.
11:37Eric,
11:38call my father's assistant.
11:39Tell him to bring over
11:40the property deed
11:41for the Riverplex Villa.
11:42The sooner,
11:42the better.
11:43Eric froze for a moment.
11:44All right.
11:45There was a hint of coldness
11:46in the way he looked at Chris.
11:48Seems you really don't know
11:50who you're living off.
11:51Your good days
11:52are probably coming to an end.
11:55Chris's expression shifted slightly.
11:57He clearly hadn't expected me
11:59to agree so readily
12:00that Villa was my premarital property
12:02worth nearly a hundred million.
12:04He had assumed I would argue
12:05or feel heartache.
12:06He hadn't expected this.
12:08His tone tightened.
12:09Rachel,
12:10stop pretending to be generous here.
12:12Do you think I don't know
12:12that Villa is your own?
12:13I smiled
12:14whether it was my only property
12:16would become clear soon enough.
12:17They waited for about ten minutes
12:19when no one showed up.
12:21Impatience crept in.
12:25Rachel,
12:26did you even ask anyone
12:27to deliver the property deed?
12:29Are you deliberately stalling
12:31so you can call the police?
12:33I don't think she has it.
12:34Maybe that Villa
12:35was mortgaged long ago.
12:36She's just putting on
12:37a brave front here.
12:38Doesn't that make sense?
12:39A gold digger like you
12:40dumped by her husband
12:41probably won't even have money
12:42for food tomorrow.
12:43The employees around us
12:44started whispering again.
12:45Some were sympathetic,
12:47some were contemptuous,
12:48most were watching
12:49the spectacle with schadenfreude.
12:50Stop wasting our time.
12:52Since you refuse to compensate,
12:54let's call the police.
12:56Let them judge what punishment
12:57someone who disrupts
12:58company order
12:59and assaults others
13:00should receive.
13:01I stood there holding Elsa.
13:03I didn't even lift my eyelids.
13:05What's the rush?
13:06They're on their way.
13:07Still acting tough?
13:09Karen sneered
13:10and reached out
13:10to grab my phone.
13:14I think you're just
13:16playing us.
13:17Today I'll make sure
13:18you...
13:18That moment,
13:19a fleet of Black Rolls Royces
13:20pulled up neatly
13:21in front of the company.
13:23Several men in suits
13:24stepped out
13:24and opened the doors
13:25respectfully.
13:26When Elsa saw who it was,
13:27her eyes lit up.
13:29Grandpa!
13:31Mr. Taylor.
13:32Behind my father
13:32stood several assistants
13:34in suits.
13:35One of them
13:35was holding a box
13:36with the property dude inside.
13:38Elsa ran over to my father.
13:40Grandpa!
13:41Tears were still on her face
13:42as she called out
13:43in a choked voice.
13:44My father bent down
13:45and picked her up
13:46when he saw her reddened eyes
13:47and the injuries on my face.
13:48His brows knitted tightly.
13:50The pain in his eyes
13:51was almost overflowing.
13:53Elsa,
13:53don't be afraid.
13:54I'm here.
13:56Tell me,
13:57who bullied you
13:58and your mom?
13:59His gaze swept
14:00across the mess
14:01in the corridor
14:02and finally landed
14:03on Chris and Karen.
14:04Although Karen
14:05didn't recognize my father,
14:06the scene alone
14:07made her panic.
14:08She forced herself
14:09to ask you,
14:10You...
14:11Who are you?
14:16What are you doing here?
14:17My father ignored her
14:19and looked only at Chris.
14:20His tone was calm.
14:21I heard you want
14:22the property deed?
14:23He tilted his chin
14:24toward the assistant
14:25behind him.
14:26The assistant immediately
14:27stepped forward
14:28and handed over
14:29the leather box.
14:30The deed to the
14:31Riverplex Villa property
14:32is indeed here.
14:33But, young man,
14:35don't be so excited.
14:36I brought the deed
14:37but I'm afraid...
14:38Paused,
14:39then slammed his cane
14:40hard against the floor.
14:41You don't deserve it
14:43at all.
14:44Karen was frightened
14:45by his presence
14:46and took half a step back.
14:48Yet she still spoke stubbornly.
14:49What are you talking about?
14:50This is between Chris and me.
14:51Who are you an outsider
14:53to butt in?
14:54My father stepped forward.
14:56I am Rachel's father.
14:58Tell me,
14:59am I an outsider?
15:01Elsa,
15:01tell grandpa,
15:03who just called you
15:04a bastard
15:04and tried to hit you?
15:06Elsa raised her small hand
15:08and pointed at Karen.
15:09It was her.
15:13My father handed Elsa
15:15to the nanny
15:16behind him.
15:16Then he looked at Karen
15:18as if she were a corpse.
15:19Looks like you've forgotten
15:20whose money you live on.
15:23How dare you lay hands
15:24on my family?
15:25Chris was overwhelmed
15:26by my father's presence.
15:28I know your family
15:29has connections
15:30in the capital,
15:31but there's no need
15:31to put on such a big show.
15:33Everyone know
15:33the Green family
15:34dominates half
15:35of Shore City's business now.
15:36Of Green Gipsna
15:38is Tomer.
15:39With me word,
15:40I can make the Taylor
15:41family's businesses
15:42Krumbus.
15:42You know that?
15:43Karen hurriedly echoed him.
15:45That's right.
15:46Chris is the business mogul
15:47of Shore City now.
15:48The little money
15:49your family has
15:50really isn't worth mentioning.
15:51If you know
15:52what's good for you,
15:53get last
15:53and stop being an ISAR here.
15:56My father looked
15:57as if he had heard
15:57the greatest joke
15:58he stared at Chris
15:59like he was an idiot
16:00and shook his head.
16:01So arrogant.
16:02Who told you
16:03our family's industries
16:05are in Shore City?
16:07Our main of operations
16:08is in Kinchington.
16:09Even if we talk
16:10up Shore City,
16:11you still get the dominate.
16:14You're talking nonsense.
16:15Chris's face
16:15turned deathly white.
16:19Do you really think
16:21Green Group
16:21got where it is today
16:22because of you alone?
16:23Rachel begged me
16:25to prioritize
16:25all of the Taylor family's
16:27Shore City branch projects
16:28and funding for you.
16:30She even asked
16:30the branch's presidents
16:31and executives
16:32to pave the way
16:33for you at every turn.
16:34Those major projects
16:35you thought you negotiated
16:36yourself that came
16:36knocking on your door.
16:37Every single one of them
16:38was propped up
16:39by the Taylor family
16:40behind the scenes.
16:40He looked at Chris.
16:42His eyes filled
16:43with disappointment.
16:45And yet you used
16:46our resources
16:47to keep a mistress
16:47and you even dared
16:48to threaten us.
16:49Notify all departments
16:50immediately.
16:51Terminate all collaboration
16:52with Green Group.
16:53Withdraw all investments
16:54and project authorizations.
16:55Also have the legal department
16:56prepare the materials
16:57and sue Green Group
16:58for misappropriation
16:59of partnership funds.
17:00The assistant
17:01immediately responded.
17:02Yes, sir.
17:03This time Chris
17:04was truly stunned.
17:05He stared at us
17:05in disbelief
17:06as soon as my father
17:07finished speaking.
17:08The assistant
17:09had already begun
17:10carrying out the orders.
17:13Within minutes,
17:15Chris's phone
17:15started ringing.
17:17Green Group accounts
17:18have been temporarily frozen
17:19due to abnormal transactions.
17:20Please cooperate
17:21with the investigation.
17:22The Eastern District
17:23landmark project partner
17:24has terminated
17:25the cooperation.
17:26Suppliers have withdrawn.
17:27Then the phone rang again.
17:28It was his CFO,
17:30his voice trembling.
17:31Mr. Green,
17:33Mr. Green,
17:34all banks affiliated
17:35with Taylor Group
17:36are demanding
17:37loan repayments.
17:38The amounts are too large.
17:40There isn't nearly enough
17:41money in our accounts.
17:42Immediately after a message
17:44from the legal director
17:45popped up.
17:46We've received
17:46a lawyer's letter
17:47from Taylor Group
17:48accusing us
17:49of illegal fund misappropriation.
17:51The court summons
17:52has Eugene sent
17:53to the company.
17:54The loud clatter.
17:55Chris's phone
17:56fell to the ground.
17:57His face was as white
17:58as a sheet
17:58and his legs gave out
17:59as he nearly collapsed.
18:01Karen still hadn't reacted.
18:02She reached out
18:03to support him
18:04only to be flung aside
18:05violently by Chris.
18:10Get lost.
18:11You jinx.
18:12If it weren't for you,
18:13how would things
18:14have turned out like this?
18:15Karen stumbled back
18:16a few steps
18:17and looked at Chris
18:17in disbelief.
18:18Seeing this,
18:19the employees around them
18:20instantly changed sides.
18:22A male employee
18:22suddenly pointed at Karen.
18:24Mr. Green,
18:25I need to report something.
18:26She's not a talent at all.
18:27She can't even interpret
18:29a basic financial report.
18:30We did everything for her.
18:32Another female employee
18:33followed up.
18:34She even withheld
18:35our reimbursements
18:36to buy luxury goods.
18:38She's taken my coffee
18:39more than 30 times.
18:41She also said
18:42that if we didn't
18:43give her benefits,
18:44we could forget
18:45about promotions.
18:46Karen's face
18:47turned completely red.
18:48Her mouth opened,
18:49but not a single word
18:50came out.
18:51She didn't know
18:51what to say.
18:52She knew she couldn't
18:53borrow Chris's power anymore.
18:54The two bodyguards
18:55quietly released Eric
18:57and slipped into the corner,
18:58not daring to lift
18:59their heads.
19:00I wiped the tears
19:01from Elsa's face.
19:02Dad,
19:02this place is such a mess.
19:05Take Elsa home.
19:07Rachel,
19:08wait!
19:10Rachel!
19:11Chris suddenly
19:12lunged toward us
19:13like a mad...
19:13Rachel,
19:14I was really wrong.
19:15I didn't know
19:16it was the Taylor family
19:17helping me.
19:18For Elsa's sake,
19:19let your father stop.
19:20Our company can't collapse.
19:22He reached out
19:23trying to touch Elsa
19:24but she dodged him.
19:25I didn't stop walking
19:25with my back to him.
19:27I threw out the final words.
19:28Your company was built up
19:29by the Taylor family
19:30and family in the first place.
19:32Now,
19:33we're just taking it back.
19:34The divorce agreement
19:35would be delivered
19:36to him very soon.
19:40In the days that followed,
19:41the collapse of Green Group
19:42came even faster
19:43than anyone had expected.
19:45Partners on Core Project
19:46sent termination notices overnight.
19:49The whole company
19:49descended into chaos.
19:51Key staff carried
19:52cardboard boxes
19:53out the door.
19:54I warned you
19:54not to indulge Karen so much.
19:56You wouldn't listen.
19:57Now you're reaping
19:57what you sowed.
20:02Court seizure notices
20:03were soon posted
20:04across every office
20:05of Green Group.
20:09Even the sports cars
20:10and houses
20:10under his name
20:11were seized.
20:17Phone voice.
20:18The number you're trying
20:19to reach
20:20is not in service.
20:27Mr. Green,
20:28this is part of the evidence
20:29submitted by the Taylor family.
20:31Over the past eight months,
20:32you embezzled funds
20:33from six projects
20:34totaling $87 million
20:35to purchase properties,
20:37vehicles,
20:37and luxury goods
20:38for Karen Mosby.
20:42Only then
20:43did he realize
20:45that Karen
20:45had been gambling
20:46with the money
20:46siphoned from the company
20:48and he had known
20:49nothing about it.
20:50A wave of dizziness
20:52hit Chris.
20:53His stomach
20:53churned violently.
20:57See?
20:58Ruined his whole life
20:59for a gold digger.
21:00On the day of the trial,
21:02the courtroom was packed.
21:05The Taylor family
21:06paid for his college
21:07education back then.
21:08What an ungrateful bastard!
21:11Meanwhile,
21:12Karen's situation
21:13was even worse.
21:14She had no money
21:15left at all.
21:17Her phone was snatched
21:18away by creditors
21:19to offset her deaths.
21:21Karen,
21:21when are you paying back
21:23the $50,000
21:23you owe me?
21:24That was the money
21:25I lent you
21:26to buy that bag.
21:27Why should I pay?
21:28You made me give you
21:2930% of my project commission.
21:31I didn't do anything.
21:32You said you'd sabotage me
21:33if I refused.
21:34I didn't do anything.
21:35Now that the green group
21:36is finished,
21:37give the money back to me.
21:38She's trying to run.
21:39Look at her.
21:43In the shoving,
21:44she tumbled down the steps.
21:50I really don't have any money.
21:52No money?
21:54Please.
21:55I swear.
21:57Then I'll have to do
21:59something to your
22:00pretty face.
22:01Let's see if you dare
22:03to dodge your debts again.
22:05On the morning
22:06of the seventh day,
22:07Chris arrived at the
22:08Taylor family estate
22:09in Kinchington.
22:11Hello.
22:12I'm looking for Rachel.
22:14I'm her ex-husband.
22:15I'm sorry, sir.
22:17Miss Taylor has instructed us.
22:19She doesn't want to see you.
22:20I have something
22:21very important.
22:22Just five minutes.
22:24No, three minutes will do.
22:28These are candies
22:29I bought for Elsa.
22:30The kind she liked most
22:32when she was little.
22:34This is the divorce agreement.
22:35Miss Taylor said
22:36that if you sign it,
22:37she can have the legal team
22:38consider reducing
22:39their pursuit for reliability.
22:41And this is a court summons.
22:42Regard the embezzled Isolus.
22:46Does she really hate me
22:48that much?
22:49Not leaving me
22:50any room at all?
22:51Miss Taylor said
22:52you were the one
22:53who left no room
22:53for her first.
22:54They're celebrating
22:55Miss Taylor's birthday inside.
22:57She doesn't want
22:58to be disturbed.
23:00Can I see her?
23:01Just from far away.
23:03I won't say anything.
23:05Miss Taylor doesn't
23:06want to see you.
23:07Please leave
23:08or I'll have to kick you out.
23:10Chris covered his face
23:11and his shoulders
23:12began to shake violently.
23:13I had taken over
23:14the family business
23:15three months earlier
23:16and the paperwork
23:17on my desk
23:18never seemed to end.
23:19Miss Taylor,
23:20Elsa's kindergarten teacher
23:21is on the line.
23:22Put her through.
23:23Hello, Miss Taylor.
23:24Elsa's Shane May's
23:25Many Little House
23:26won first place
23:27in her class today.
23:28There's a parent showcase
23:29at seven this evening.
23:31We'd like to invite you
23:32to come and see her work.
23:33Will attended?
23:37I will.
23:39I'll be there at seven.
23:42After hanging up,
23:44I stood and walked
23:45over to the window.
23:46It was a charitable foundation
23:47set up in Elsa's name.
23:49At 6.30 sharp,
23:50I walked out
23:51of the office building.
23:53The driver already
23:54had the car waiting
23:55at the entrance.
23:57Sweetheart,
23:58Mommy's on the way.
23:59I bought you a cake too.
24:04Mommy, hurry up.
24:06I put my little house
24:07right at the front
24:08to wait for you.
24:09I watched the endless
24:10stream of traffic
24:11outside the window.
24:12The only thing
24:13I needed to do now
24:14was show up on time
24:15at my daughter's class
24:16and listen as she proudly
24:17introduced the handmade
24:19little house
24:19that won first place.
