00:00I grew up abroad. My mother feared I might marry a foreign man, so she arranged an engagement for me
00:05with a talented and handsome man in float-on.
00:08She insisted that I return home to get engaged.
00:11I came back and started shopping for an engagement dress at a luxury boutique.
00:14I selected an off-white strapless gown and decided to try it on.
00:19Suddenly, a woman nearby glanced at the dress in my hand and told the saleswoman,
00:24That's a unique design. Let me try it.
00:27The saleswoman immediately yanked it out of my hands. I protested indignantly.
00:32Excuse me, I was here first. Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?
00:37Or do you just not care about common decency?
00:40The woman scoffed and retorted,
00:42This dress costs $188,000. Do you really think a broken body like you can even afford it?
00:48I'm Lucas Goodwin's sister in all but blood. He's the chairman of Goodwin's group.
00:53In float-on, the Goodwin family sets the rules.
00:56What a coincidence. Lucas Goodwin was my fiancé.
01:00I immediately called him and said,
01:02Hey, your sister in all but blood just stole my engagement dress. Do something about it.
01:06The term sister in all but blood implied less than innocent connotations.
01:10If Lucas Goodwin failed to give me a proper explanation on that day,
01:14I would cancel the engagement banquet.
01:16To my surprise, Lucas responded coldly,
01:19Who are you?
01:21Since when does a stranger like you get to question my relationship with Vivian?
01:25I was about to tell him that I was his fiancé, but he hung up abruptly.
01:29I became angry. How dare he not save my contact information?
01:32Meanwhile, Vivian Morrow, who was standing beside me, grinned triumphantly.
01:37You wench.
01:39Did you really think having Lucas' number makes you special?
01:42Keep dreaming.
01:44She looked at me with open contempt.
01:46Even the Janners at Goodwin's group dress better than you.
01:49I had always preferred simple, comfortable clothes and never cared about brand names.
01:54I never thought that would give people a reason to look down on me.
01:57What era are you even living in?
01:59To think you'd still be judging people by their looks.
02:02Lucas must be out of his mind to call you his sister in all but blood.
02:05My mood for shopping was ruined, thanks to her antics.
02:08I grabbed the gown and headed straight to the checkout counter.
02:11The saleswoman hesitated before saying,
02:14Miss, I'm sorry, but we prioritize our members first.
02:17Vivian smirked and slammed her shiny gold membership card onto the counter.
02:21Only people who've spent over a million get this card.
02:24What's a broke loser like you even doing here?
02:27I was not usually one to pick fights, but on that day, Vivian had really crossed a line.
02:32I pulled out a black card and handed it to the saleswoman.
02:35I suppressed my anger and said, sign me up for a membership.
02:39Then bagged the gown.
02:41Vivian glared at the saleswoman and threatened, the Goodwin's own Floaten.
02:46If you sell her that gown today, I'll have Luke's buy this store out tomorrow.
02:50The saleswoman shrank back timidly and said,
02:53Miss, I'm just an employee.
02:55I can't risk offending Goodwin's group.
02:57Several onlookers turned to me and offered me advice in whispers.
03:00That's Mrs. Moreau. I've seen her around.
03:03Lucas Goodwin's foils were rotten. You should just let it go.
03:06The last time someone crossed her, Goodwin's group drove them into bankruptcy.
03:10You may have some money, but it's pocket change compared to Goodwin's group.
03:13Just apologize to Mrs. Moreau now and beg her to spare you.
03:16Flattered by their words, Vivian's ego swelled like a balloon.
03:21You wench, get on your knees and say,
03:23I'm a worthless poser and I'm sorry.
03:26Maybe then I'll consider letting you off the hook.
03:29At 26 years of my life,
03:31I had never encountered anyone audacious enough to act so arrogantly in front of me.
