00:00Strip. Everything off.
00:02Mrs. Hughes stood in the entrance hall with her arms crossed.
00:07I froze.
00:08I'd come to interview for a newborn care position with the Sterlings.
00:12I didn't expect the first round would require stripping naked.
00:17Mrs. Hughes walked down the line with a clipboard.
00:20Body odor? Out.
00:22Bad breath? Out.
00:24Tattoos? Out.
00:25I'd worked as a nanny in New York for three years.
00:27I'd never seen anything like this.
00:30But the Sterlings were at the top.
00:31They could demand whatever they wanted.
00:33And I desperately needed this job.
00:35Once hired, $15,000 per month.
00:39Guaranteed one year contract.
00:43All male staff had been cleared out.
00:45I stripped off my clothes.
00:46Mrs. Hughes stopped in front of me.
00:48Her eyes scanned my body, then flickered with something.
00:51Surprise, maybe.
00:52You advance.
00:56Round two starts at 2 p.m.
00:59Mr. Sterling will evaluate you personally.
01:02Only 10 advance.
01:04The women gasped.
01:07Zane Sterling is coming?
01:08Everyone in New York knew the Sterling family.
01:10Real power.
01:11Zane Sterling, the second son, was next in line after his older brother.
01:16The media called him cold-blooded and ruthless.
01:18So far, we've seen no evidence of that.
01:20The women rushed out, chattering excitedly.
01:22If Zane Sterling picks me, I'm set for life!
01:26I'm wearing my tightest dress.
01:28I'll wear something low-cut.
01:30I walked outside the gate, sat under the trees, and took out my phone.
01:35The screen showed a tiny apartment.
01:37In the corner was a metal bed with a young woman on it.
01:40This is Piper, my twin sister.
01:42Same face as mine.
01:43But Piper's eyes stared at nothing.
01:45Her clothes were messy.
01:46She didn't move.
01:47Three years ago, we were 16.
01:49We came to New York with dreams.
01:50But one night, Piper was raped by a driver.
01:55I called home, but our father refused to care.
01:58That night, Piper jumped off a bridge.
02:00Although she was saved, the doctor said Piper had viral encephalitis,
02:04and the treatment cost was too high.
02:06She became self-destructive, and increasingly, I had to chain her to the bed.
02:10On the camera, scars covered Piper's arms.
02:12I wiped my eyes and looked down at my faded jeans and old shirt.
02:16I had to get this job, for Piper and me, no matter what.
02:202 p.m.
02:21One hundred of us stood on the front lawn.
02:23Every woman dressed to seduce.
02:25Tight skirts.
02:26Low cut tops.
02:27The lawn looked like a competition.
02:29They all fantasized about catching Zane Sterling's eye.
02:32Only I stood in the back row, wearing something simple and dull.
02:35Black pants.
02:36Pale green top.
02:37Hair in a bun.
02:38No makeup.
02:39No one glanced at me.
02:40Round two will be conducted by me.
02:43Disappointment rippled through the group.
02:45Where's Zane Sterling?
02:47I thought he was evaluating us.
02:49I stayed calm.
02:50I glanced up at the mansion.
02:51On the seventh floor terrace stood a tall figure in black.
02:54One hand tucked casually in his pocket.
02:56The other hung at his side.
02:58Long fingers.
02:59Sharp lines.
03:00Just standing there, he radiated crushing pressure.
03:02I quickly looked down.
03:04Iris, Clara, Thea, Serena, Elwynn, Freya.
03:08The lawn fell silent.
03:09Women held their breath, waiting for judgment.
03:11My hands clenched into fists.
03:13I stepped forward.
03:14Mrs. Huns, may I introduce myself?
03:16The other women sneered.
03:18What is she wearing?
03:19Does she think that's gonna work?
03:20Why are you dressed like that?
03:22I'm applying as a caregiver for the Steelers, not a secretary or model.
03:25I'm only a caregiver.
03:27It's 100% organic cotton, soft and hypoallergenic, safe for long contact with infants.
03:32The child's comfort is more important than how I look.
03:34The women glared at me, but I knew this was my only chance.
03:38Even if it meant making enemies, I lowered my head and waited.
03:41Zane Sterling watched.
03:42Everything below was reflected in his dark, unreadable eyes.
03:46For the baby's sake?
03:47Cheap trick.
03:49Pathetic performance.
03:50And you dare to do it right under my nose.
03:52I advanced to the final round.
03:54Ten of us were led into the main hall.
03:56Gold chandeliers hung from the ceiling.
03:58Marble floors gleamed under our feet.
04:00Final assessment.
04:01You will demonstrate your childcare expertise in front of Mrs. Sterling and Mr. Sterling.
04:06You each get three minutes.
04:08Only one person gets hired.
04:10The elevator opened.
04:11A woman around 50 stepped out first.
04:14She wore a deep purple chi-pau dress.
04:16Her posture was regal.
04:17Her face was cold and severe.
04:19Beside her walked a tall man in a perfectly tailored black suit.
04:23Dark eyes that seemed to cut through everything they looked at.
04:26An elderly butler followed, holding a p-baby.
04:28Madam.
04:30Mr. Sterling.
04:31Candidates gasped.
04:32Zane Sterling had actually come in person.
04:35I lowered my head too.
04:36Heels clicked across the marble.
04:38Mrs. Evelyn stopped in front of the first candidate.
04:41High heels.
04:42Are you planning to drop my grandson on his head?
04:45Makeup?
04:46What if those chemical fumes choke my grandson?
04:48Slid up to your thigh?
04:49Who are you trying to seduce?
04:50Dressing like a whore.
04:53The remaining candidates turned pale.
04:55I folded my hands in front of my waist.
04:57Forced my breathing to stay calm and even.
05:00The heels clicked again.
05:01Stopped right in front of me.
05:02Mrs. Sterling's gaze.
05:04Cold.
05:04Judging.
05:05Seconds crawled by.
05:06Finally, she walked past.
05:08My shoulders relaxed slightly.
05:10Wait.
05:10A cold voice cut through the hall like a blade.
05:12Light and shadow carved his face into harsh angles.
05:15Mother.
05:18You missed one.
05:19He walked toward me.
05:20His expensive leather shoes stopped half an inch from my toes.
05:24He looked down at me.
05:25His gaze moved from my face down to my waist.
05:28Your clothes.
05:29They're too small.
05:30He pulled out a black pen.
05:32The cold metal traced along my chest.
05:34Then slid down to my waist.
05:36My entire body went rigid.
05:38I didn't move.
05:38Didn't breathe.
05:39His eyes dropped to my bare ankle.
05:41Your pants are also too short.
05:43You claim everything is for the baby's sake.
05:45But your scheming runs deep.
05:47My chest tightened.
05:48I bought this when I was 16.
05:50Three years later, I'd grown.
05:52The clothes were too small now.
05:53I lifted my head and met Zane Sterling's eyes.
05:56Mr. Sterling, what matters is-
05:58His eyes were completely empty.
06:00Dark and cold as a frozen lake.
06:02Take her out.
06:03Guards clamped a cloth over my mouth.
06:05They dragged me toward the exit.
06:07Rich families didn't waste time on explanations.
06:09Once they throw me out, I'll never get this job.
06:11The baby convulsed.
06:13His face turned blue.
06:14He gagged.
06:15Vomited.
06:15My baby!
06:17Her hands shook as she reached for him.
06:20Doctor!
06:21Where's the doctor?
06:24Save my grandson!
06:25I'll pay anything!
06:27I drove my elbow into the guard's jaw.
06:29He grunted.
06:30I broke free and ran back.
06:32Madam, the baby's throat is-
06:34Shut your mouth!
06:35A woman in a beige suit stepped forward sharply.
06:38Dinah Zhao stepped forward.
06:39What do you know about babies?
06:41I've been doing this for 30 years!
06:43You are just a gold dicker!
06:45They shoved me aside.
06:46Don't worry ma'am!
06:47Get him warm water!
06:48Let me massage him!
06:49I looked at the baby again.
06:50The baby's face was turning blue.
06:52Breathing weak.
06:53Stop!
06:53Don't give him water!
06:54No massage!
06:55His cough is high-pitched.
06:57Something's lodged in his throat.
06:58Water and massage will kill him.
07:00Enough!
07:00I have 20 years of experience.
07:02You're just an uneducated hunk.
07:04If something was stuck, he couldn't breathe or cry.
07:07Dinah's the best.
07:08Stop showing off.
07:09Everything the young master uses sterilized.
07:11There's no way he could have choked.
07:12Zane Sterling's expression darkened.
07:14Get her out of here.
07:15Guards closed in.
07:16My arms were pinned.
07:17Dinah lifted the bottle toward the baby's mouth.
07:19The baby's lips were blue, breathing weak.
07:21If that water went down, he'd die.
07:23I couldn't just watch.
07:24I slammed backward into the guards.
07:26They stumbled.
07:27I broke free and grabbed the baby from the butler's arms.
07:30What are you doing?
07:31Put him down!
07:31You're killing him!
07:33You're using a baby to get attention!
07:34You're insane!
07:35Please.
07:36He's just a baby.
07:37He's innocent.
07:38Madam, I'm saving him.
07:40I flipped the baby face down across my forearm.
07:42I delivered five sharp strikes between his shoulder blades.
07:46Stop it!
07:46You're abusing him!
07:48He's beating a newborn baby!
07:49The high marth is for choking!
07:51He's still making sounds!
07:53You're gonna kill him!
07:54They all thought I'd lost my mind.
07:55Zane Sterling's jaw tightened.
07:57His eyes went darker, colder.
07:59Take her down.
08:00His voice was barely above a whisper.
08:02Absolute and final.
08:03Dead or alive.
08:05Guards surrounded me.
08:06Tasers crackled.
08:07I ignored everything around me.
08:09I kept striking the baby's back.
08:15The baby vomited hard.
08:16I exhaled in relief.
08:18Then the baby's breathing stopped.
08:19His small body went limp in my arms, completely still.
08:22Baby!
08:23Jim!
08:24A hand cracked across my face.
08:26My ears rang.
08:27You'd hurt even a baby?
08:29I underestimated how low you'd go.
08:31His voice was low.
08:32Each word cut like frost.
08:34Take her to the police.
08:35Guards dragged me toward the exit.
08:36Wait!
08:37The family doctor rushed in.
08:38He crouched with forceps and examined the vomit.
08:41A small clump of wet white lint lay in the puddle.
08:43The baby came back.
08:44He waved his fists and cried.
08:46Everyone stood frozen, shocked.
08:48Mrs. Sterling snapped out of it.
08:50Mrs. Hughes!
08:50Help Ms. Rowan up!
08:52Take them away!
08:53Charge them with slander and gross negligence!
08:55Dinah and the others went pale.
08:57Madam, please!
08:58We didn't mean it!
08:59Mrs. Sterling didn't look at them.
09:00She walked to me.
09:01Ms. Rowan, you've been wronged.
09:03I said whoever saved Gin gets $100,000.
09:05Open your payment app.
09:06Her actions were efficient.
09:08$200,000 a ride.
09:09My hand clenched.
09:10Thank you, madam.
09:11Just here for money after all.
09:12Just a coincidence.
09:13Mother, you're taking this seriously?
09:14I lifted my head.
09:16Met his eyes.
09:17If me saving him was coincidence, why didn't you save him, Mr. Sterling?
09:20The previous nanny only left yesterday.
09:23Today the baby mysteriously swallowed lint.
09:25If we'd waited any longer, aren't you worried, Mr. Sterling?
09:28Professional work requires professionals.
09:30I flipped the negotiation.
09:32Grabbed control.
09:33The hall went silent.
09:34Everyone's heads dropped.
09:36No one had ever dared speak to Zane Sterling like that.
09:38Rowan, I formally hire you as Gin's exclusive care specialist.
09:42You're responsible for his health and safety.
09:44Salary, $20,000 per month.
09:47My eyes widened.
09:48I hadn't expected that much.
09:50A shadow fell over me.
09:52Zane Sterling walked up.
09:53Trial period.
09:54Three days.
09:55If Gin doesn't adjust or Serena doesn't approve, you're out.
09:59I watched his back.
10:00The real test was just beginning.
10:09They assigned me a room.
10:11Over 200 square feet.
10:12Twice our apartment.
10:13Velvet curtains.
10:14Marble bathroom.
10:15Everything expensive.
10:18Piper, do you see this?
10:19When I earned enough, I'd buy you a big house.
10:22Showered.
10:22Changed into uniform.
10:24Stood in front of the mirror.
10:25Hair perfect.
10:26Gray uniform.
10:27Perfect fit.
10:28Good.
10:28Two month contract.
10:29Earn $40,000.
10:31Leave this city.
10:32Urgent knocking.
10:39Come quickly.
10:40Miss Serena woke up throwing a tantrum.
10:42Wants to see you now.
10:43I followed.
10:44They said nine nannies in ten days.
10:46Not one lasted.
10:47Longest stayed an hour.
10:48What kind of person was Serena?
10:50Third floor.
10:52Study window.
10:53Zane Sterling's figure in the glass.
10:55Looking down at me.
10:59Miss Serena even pushed away Mr. Sterling and Mrs. Tizzling lately.
11:03I reached Serena's door.
11:08Incredibly luxurious room.
11:12Young master, please don't cry.
11:17No!
11:18Let him cry!
11:20Let him die!
11:28Serena's wild hair.
11:29Red eyes.
11:30Like a crazed patient.
11:31The baby's cries got sharper.
11:35I'd never seen a mother hate her child this much.
11:38The baby's face was turning blue.
11:40Hyperventilation.
11:41Throat spasms.
11:42I walked over.
11:47Go rest.
11:48I'll handle this.
11:49The maid looked nervous.
11:50Can you?
11:52I took the baby.
11:53One hand supported his bottom and neck.
11:55Other hand massaged the acu-point below his throat.
11:58Adjusted his position.
12:00In seconds, his cries eased.
12:02Who said you could touch him?
12:03Put him down!
12:04Let him die!
12:05Serena erupted.
12:06Books.
12:07Cups flew at me.
12:08You died too?
12:09How did a slut get into the Sterling house?
12:12I'll tear your face apart!
12:16I held the baby tight.
12:17Use my back to take the hits.
12:20Miss Serena.
12:21You hate him because you thought he was the ultimate weapon.
12:25Birth and heir.
12:25Secure your position.
12:27Win approval.
12:28Tie down your husband.
12:29So you had morning sickness for six months.
12:31Severe anemia.
12:32Secretly took hundreds of fertility shots.
12:34Endured unimaginable pain to give birth.
12:36But the weapon failed.
12:37Didn't get you what you wanted.
12:38Everything got worse.
12:39You even think Julian grew cold because your pregnancy gave the mistress an opportunity.
12:42Right?
12:43Serena's raised hand froze.
12:45How do you know?
12:47Miss Serena, you're beautiful.
12:48But the swelling under your eyes hasn't gone down.
12:51Traces from progesterone injections.
12:52I understand you gave everything.
12:54Endured inhuman torture.
12:55But didn't get the result you wanted.
12:57How much that hurt.
12:58Serena went quiet.
12:59All this time, no one knew what she'd gone through.
13:01The stranger said all her pain so clearly.
13:04Miss Serena, dare you bet with me?
13:06Give me one month.
13:08I can make your husband beg you back.
13:12You?
13:14This is already the worst outcome.
13:17How much worse can it get?
13:20Trying won't hurt.
13:28Five minutes.
13:29If your plan doesn't satisfy me, get out.
13:36First, starting today, no matter what, never lose your temper.
13:40Because every action could become evidence the mistress uses against you.
13:43Second, I can't judge if your husband really cheated.
13:46But either way, I hope you find yourself again first.
13:50I placed the baby in the crib.
13:53Walked to Serena, guided her to look at the mirror.
13:56Miss Serena, look.
13:58You've won against 99% of people since birth.
14:01You just need to stand under a chandelier with confidence.
14:04That's enough to crush anyone.
14:07Serena froze.
14:08Saw the girl who once played piano.
14:12Rowan, I'll give you a real chance.
14:17Serena told me everything.
14:19Serena took out her anger on servants.
14:21After marrying into the Vance family, her in-laws suppressed her.
14:25Her husband grew distant, stayed out all night with Chloe, a college student he sponsored.
14:32Serena took out her anger on servants.
14:35Got worse and worse.
14:36Then, Chloe deliberately threw herself down the stairs to frame Serena.
14:40But the surveillance cannot prove Serena's innocence.
14:43Got worse and worse.
14:44Serena took a deep breath.
14:46Tomorrow, if you can make him willingly enter my room, I'll trust you.
14:53As I stepped out of the room, I froze.
14:55As I stepped out of the room...
14:59Good acting.
15:01Seems you relied on this skill to stay in Serena's room so long.
15:06Think you're special?
15:08Serena just finds you novel for now.
15:10I forced myself to stay calm.
15:12You standing here?
15:14Does that also count as having ulterior motives towards me?
15:17Scheming?
15:18Sharp tongue.
15:22The Sterling House can't tolerate those who don't know their place.
15:25He took out his phone.
15:27I saw he was about to call the lawyer.
15:31My palms clenched.
15:34I heard Miss Serena is seeing Mr. Vance tomorrow.
15:36Miss Serena needs someone calm enough to watch over her.
15:40You don't want her overly emotional tomorrow, right?
15:46You?
15:47In Prosper and Scenological consultation, I should be better at than you, Mr. Sterling.
15:53Finally, he spoke.
15:54Tomorrow, Gin and Deet can't have any mishaps.
15:57If you can't protect him well, yourself to the legal department.
16:01Terminate the contract.
16:03Morning.
16:04Gentle autumn sunlight rose.
16:06Julian Vance's car stopped outside the Sterling Estate early.
16:10I woke at 6 AM.
16:12After morning meeting, I hurried to Serena's room.
16:15Servants stood with heads bowed, barely breathing.
16:19Miss is inside getting ready, but I heard the negotiation between Mr. Zane and Mr. Vane went
16:25very badly.
16:26If Miss finds out Mr. Vane won't come, I'm afraid-
16:33I walked over and pushed open that door.
16:35Inside, Serena sat at the vanity.
16:37Her skin glowed like pearls.
16:39She wore a custom Chanel-style light blue suit.
16:43She turned and smiled gently.
16:46Miss Serena plans to dress like this to make Mr. Vance come see you?
16:50Serena stared at herself in the vanity mirror.
16:53Of course.
16:55Miss Serena, forgive my boldness.
16:58Dressed like this, Mr. Vance absolutely won't look at you.
17:00I quickly removed her expensive jewelry.
17:08Found plain white silk pajamas from the closet.
17:11Miss Serena, change into this.
17:13You want me to wear this?
17:15Yes.
17:16You need to show your real pain.
17:18You're the one who was hurt.
17:20She can act pitiful.
17:22So can you.
17:23Serena froze.
17:24No one taught her how to show weakness.
17:28Will this really work?
17:29I could determine Chloe used her weak situation.
17:32Played innocent.
17:33One Julian's sympathy made him hate Serena.
17:35Serena bit her lip.
17:40Finally changed into the plain pajamas.
17:44I removed her makeup.
17:46Her postpartum pallor fully exposed.
17:48Face bloodless.
17:49Lips pale.
17:50Eyes sad.
17:51Still not enough.
17:53Still not enough.
17:53Bring the baby here.
17:55Miss Serena, this child is your biggest margining kip.
17:59He's the only person who can keep you and Mr. Van connected forever.
18:04Look at him.
18:06So small.
18:08From birth he's hated by his mother.
18:11Abandoned by his father.
18:12For the first time, a tenderness rose in Serena's heart.
18:16Just like this.
18:17Keep this expression.
18:18The sterling garden.
18:19Autumn.
18:20Lilies bloomed.
18:21Morning breeze cool.
18:23Julian was about to leave when piano music drifted over.
18:27He followed the sound.
18:28On the first floor terrace, Serena sat there.
18:33She wore soft white pajamas.
18:35One arm held the baby.
18:37The other hand moved slowly across piano keys.
18:39Playing a sad piece.
18:41Julian's gaze fell on Serena.
18:44Garden lilies swayed.
18:45Following the music.
18:46Mournful.
18:47Desolate.
18:48Tears rolled down Serena's eyes.
18:50Baby.
18:52If mommy takes you away together,
18:55will you hate me?
18:56Will it hurt?
18:59Tears soaked the white clothes.
19:04Julian's facial lines tensed.
19:06He'd never imagined arrogant, haughty Serena
19:09could have such a fragile side.
19:11Take me to Miss Serena's room.
19:13Third floor. Study.
19:15Zane stood by the window,
19:16expression full of disbelief.
19:18That woman, Rowan, actually did it?
19:20Inside the room, Serena saw Julian crossing the garden.
19:26She stood, holding the baby, about to walk out.
19:30Miss Serena, you're gonna greet him?
19:32What will you say?
19:34Beg him to believe you again?
19:36How many times have you said that?
19:39Did it work?
19:43Then what should I do?
19:45What should I say?
19:46When Mr. Vanster comes, just sit there.
19:49Think about how coldly he's treated you.
19:53Think about your grievances.
19:55Then only say...
20:01Miss, Mr. Vance is here.
20:03Julian stood at the door.
20:04The man had an extremely upright face.
20:09I retreated to the darkest corner.
20:11The white room.
20:12Papers scattered on the floor.
20:13Some crumpled.
20:14Some torn.
20:15Like a soul had struggled here.
20:16The room reeked of collapse.
20:19Serena sat on the terrace.
20:21What are you doing here?
20:23Have you come to condemn me again?
20:28This is how the Sterns care for you?
20:30Don't come closer.
20:32Just assume...
20:33Chloe was pushed by me.
20:36Are you satisfied?
20:37I admit I'm evil.
20:38Deserve death!
20:40Mr. Vance, don't approach someone like me!
20:42Someone, please escort Mr. Vance out.
20:46Mr. Vance, please.
20:48Julian's hand curled.
20:49Finally, his throat rolled.
20:51Following her command, he withdrew.
20:53Outside, Julian didn't leave.
20:59Reexamine that day's surveillance.
21:01Inside, Serena stared at the monitor.
21:02Eyes suddenly red.
21:04Tears rolled out like broken pearls.
21:06Half a year.
21:06No matter how she explained, she got only his cold distrust.
21:10Rowan, thank you.
21:12Without you, I don't know what I would have done.
21:14This might be Serena's real self.
21:16A noble lady.
21:17Unfortunately driven mad by jealousy and love.
21:20Miss Serena is too kind.
21:21Relieving postpartum anxiety is my duty.
21:24But, if possible, could you allow me to go home for an hour each night?
21:27I'll arrange it.
21:28Although he still won't believe me.
21:30But really, thank you.
21:32Chloe's goal is to make you misunderstand,
21:34loose control, destroy trust.
21:35Every time you go crazy, Mr. Vance feels you're unreasonable.
21:38Anyway, you must stay calm.
21:40Thank you for enlightening me.
21:42I think I should calm down.
21:47Emily?
21:50Now, take her to HR to collect 50,000 in bonus.
21:56Yes.
22:02I followed Emily Hart full of shock.
22:0550,000?
22:06Bonus!
22:07No one had ever given me such a large bonus.
22:10This money could build Piper a terrace garden.
22:13Piper would be happy.
22:14Miss Serena was really good.
22:16I'd use my best effort to make Julian see Chloe's true face.
22:20Lost in thought, I didn't notice Emily's face gradually turning cold.
22:25I followed to a massive outdoor pool.
22:27The water was still, dim with leaves and silt.
22:30The surface barely reflected light, like a swamp.
22:33A few workers stood at a distance, holding long nets.
22:36They were watching me.
22:38Emily stopped, turned to me.
22:42You'll get the bonus.
22:44But before that, you need to clean this up.
22:48I stood there, looking at the filthy water.
22:50Even with machines, it would take a full day.
22:53By hand? Impossible.
22:55You'll be in the water. Better get used to it.
22:58I have the right to test your abilities.
23:00Don't you think?
23:02I clenched my fist.
23:04You all teach her how to do it.
23:07New nanny? Looks more like trouble.
23:10Someone grabbed a bucket.
23:12Splash.
23:12Ice cold pool water drenched me from head to toe.
23:15Get in.
23:16You clean it from inside.
23:18Scrape every inch.
23:20No shortcuts.
23:21Someone pushed me.
23:22My body staggered toward the edge.
23:24The cold stench rose from the water.
23:27I was one step away from being shoved in.
23:29Emily stood behind them, watching.
23:31High above. Cold.
23:34This is wealth.
23:36High pay was never meant to be easy.
23:39My fingers trembled.
23:41From rage, I suddenly twisted my body and grabbed the metal pole.
23:45And smashed it against the marble edge of the pool.
23:48The pole snapped.
23:50The sharp edge tore open my already injured palm.
23:53Blood spilled instantly.
23:55I grabbed the jagged end and drove it straight across my forearm.
23:59Blood gushed down.
24:01Are you insane?
24:04Emily.
24:06What do you think Miss Serena will say?
24:09After you told me to clean a pool alone?
24:11I raise my bleeding arm.
24:15You've been with her fifteen years.
24:17And will stay with her for twenty more.
24:21But me?
24:22Just a nanny.
24:24Two months, then I'm gone.
24:26I grabbed her wrist.
24:27My blood smeared across her skin.
24:30Is it nothing?
24:31Emily's face went pale.
24:33Clean this up.
24:34Go back to the nanny quarters immediately.
24:38No one is to speak of what happened today!
24:41Emily turned and left.
24:42With no one to back me up, I would only rely on myself.
24:46A cold voice sounded behind me.
24:47Stop.
24:48Zane Sterling stood at the corridor's end.
24:50Hands in pockets.
24:51Expression cold.
24:53He walked toward me.
24:55Each step carried crushing pressure.
24:58His gaze fell on my wet collar.
25:00Faint water marks.
25:02Fell in the water?
25:03I kept my head down.
25:05Just an accident, sir.
25:06I felt his gaze on me.
25:07You're hired as Mrs. Care Specialist.
25:10Not a pool cleaner.
25:12I stayed silent.
25:14His tall frame cast shadow over me.
25:17Or did you deliberately make yourself pitiful?
25:20Planning to cry to miss?
25:21Get more bonuses?
25:23I clenched my fists.
25:25Forced myself calm.
25:26I dare can't.
25:27You dare not?
25:28Zane's eyes turned colder.
25:30You dare cut yourself, what don't you dare?
25:34He'd seen it.
25:35I lifted my head.
25:37Met his dark eyes.
25:39Sir, I cut myself to protect myself.
25:41Not to gain sympathy.
25:44Zane stared at me.
25:45Eyes unreadable.
25:46Long silence.
25:48Finally he spoke.
25:49Voice colder.
25:50The bonus.
25:51It stands.
25:5350,000.
25:55Not a cent less.
25:56My eyes widened.
25:57But sir, I...
25:58You helped Serena.
26:00That's worth more than Emily's petty games.
26:03Zane Sterling was more terrifying than I thought.
26:06I had to be more careful.
26:09I returned to servant quarters.
26:11I pulled out a small first aid kit.
26:14Cleaned the wound.
26:15Bandaged it.
26:16The cut was deep.
26:18Would leave a scar.
26:20Sometimes you had to hurt yourself to survive.
26:23I lay on the bed fully clothed.
26:25Stared at the ceiling.
26:27Two months.
26:28Then I could take Piper and leave.
26:30Buy a little house.
26:31Live peacefully.
26:32Sterling Garden.
26:34White.
26:34Marble Plaza.
26:35An extended Lincoln pulled up.
26:37Two rows of bodyguards.
26:39Today, I will accompany Serena to the Sterling Foundation Center.
26:42A charitable institution.
26:43The Vance family ran its operations there.
26:46Every month, Vance came to inspect.
26:48Chloe volunteered there.
26:49Mr. Vance is very perceptive.
26:51If you're going to act, you must be convincing enough.
26:54I don't think you want to give him any reason to doubt you.
26:57Chloe could act pitiful.
26:58So could Serena.
27:01We ran into Chloe and Vance in the garden.
27:04Miss.
27:04Biggest, his strine, is to become Ezuthruma cardiac surgeon.
27:08Save lives.
27:09And one day, establish a charitable foundation.
27:12Vance's expression softened.
27:14He proactively helped her pick up the pamphlets.
27:16In the distance, Serena burned with fury.
27:19Wanted to rip off Chloe's hypocritical mask.
27:22I leaned close to her ear.
27:24Whispered the plan I thought of all night.
27:27Serena's clenched fists slowly relaxed.
27:31Serena walked over.
27:32Calmly took a pamphlet.
27:34That genuine, unpretentious demeanor surprised even Vance.
27:38Chloe, you don't need to fear me.
27:40I just feel guilty and want to make it up to you.
27:43I've secured you a spot in a top program with Hopkins Hospital.
27:46But it requires going abroad.
27:47I timely handed over an exquisitely bound folder.
27:50Inside were acceptance letters and program details.
27:53Chloe's face instantly went deathly pale.
27:56Because she didn't want to go at all.
27:57This was just an excuse to maintain her kind-hearted persona.
28:01Wrong.
28:02Don't you like this opportunity, Chloe?
28:06This sentence caught Vance's attention.
28:09Vance looked at Chloe.
28:10Chloe quickly masked it.
28:11Eyes reddened.
28:12Put on an excited and grateful expression.
28:15Serena tried hard to stay calm.
28:16That's good then.
28:17You can start packing.
28:19You'll be able to leave in a few days.
28:22Then she looked calmly at Vance.
28:25Can we talk?
28:27For the first time, his gaze turned gentle.
28:29Vance hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
28:32The extended Lincoln stopped behind a secluded building on the grounds.
28:35Vance looked in through the high window into the archive room.
28:38Chloe was there.
28:40Serena, what are you planning now?
28:42Before, Serena had hired someone to secretly photograph Chloe entering and leaving luxury mansions.
28:48She was seen sleeping with different men.
28:50Serena posted them online.
28:52Publicly declared Chloe was a homewrecker.
28:54The scandal blew up.
28:55Chloe got cyberbullied, severely injured, hospitalized, nearly committed suicide.
29:01But the truth was, Chloe had only been making house calls, providing massage therapy for a man with mobility.
29:06Hearing Vance's questioning, the warmth in Serena's heart instantly froze.
29:10She suppressed the heartache.
29:12See for yourself.
29:13Chloe's face twisted with pain.
29:15Ten years of effort to climb to this position, about to go to waste because of going abroad.
29:19She steeled herself, loosened the screws on the ladder, then she climbed up.
29:24Her just-heeled ribs broke again, pierced through skin.
29:27She was drenched in cold sweat from pain, but she still pretended to protect the acceptance letter.
29:32The letter? Are they damaged? Please send me to the hospital quickly.
29:36I'm about to go abroad to study. I absolutely cannot miss this!
29:40Vance watched everything, face flushed red with anger.
29:43Now you see clearly what kind of person this kind girl you've been protecting is.
29:48Mr. Vance, you can get out.
29:52I'll handle her situation first. Wait for me.
29:59No need. You should go.
30:02Maybe...
30:04From the beginning, we were never right for each other.
30:07Autumn sunset. Outside the main bedroom.
30:09Serena went alone with the baby.
30:10In the adjacent baby's room, the nanny was sighing about how difficult it was to clean the imported hardwood floor.
30:16I proactively took over, knelt on the cold floor.
30:20Zane passed by. My figure in the sunset caught his attention.
30:24You've passed the probation period. Go to legal to sign the official employment contract.
30:28I froze slightly. Surprise flashed in my eyes.
30:31As long as you stay in line, the Sterling House won't mistreat you.
30:34He turned and left. His tall figure disappeared around the corridor corner.
30:38How rare. Zane, I've never seen you care so much about any maid.
30:42You wouldn't have your eye on this young girl, would you?
30:45No way. The Sterling House needs people who can do the work. She happens to be useful. That's all.
30:50Feelings for some poor, lower class person. Ridiculous.
