00:00On the day my husband gave me three million dollars as a divorce settlement, I laughed
00:04because he had just spent 300 million on his mistress. And what he really didn't know was
00:09that the miracle doctor first love he pined for had never even held a scalpel. I signed the papers,
00:14walked away, and then cut off his entire supply chain. One week later, his company was on the
00:18brink of bankruptcy. His first love was being exposed and torn apart across the internet,
00:21and his own grandmother personally called to beg me to come back. As for me, I was sitting in the
00:25private villa of the most terrifying man in the city, Jasper Russell, drinking the red wine.
00:28I had the anniversary dinner perfectly set when he walked in, acting as if it were just
00:33another night. Carrie, you're home. I made all your favorites for our anniversary.
00:40Quite a feast. Did something happen?
00:43You didn't forget, did you? The Saffiris. They saw the auction there for me, aren't they?
00:49How do you know about those? They're for Esme.
00:59Esme?
01:00She's finally agreed to return to me. I needed something special to welcome her back.
01:05The woman who abandoned you? The one who caused the accident that blinded you?
01:09You know nothing! Esme wasn't to blame! She's the one who saved my sight!
01:13What are you saying?
01:15She arranged my surgeries in secret. She was Professor Mitchell's last apprentice,
01:19the only one who could have done it.
01:20Then what are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be celebrating with her?
01:23He didn't just bring home news of another woman. He pulled out divorce papers.
01:27Already prepared. Review them. Sign. I've wasted enough time. I won't make Esme wait anymore.
01:33300 million for the woman who almost destroyed you. And a pleeply 3 million for the wife who saved you.
01:39He expected me to plead. To cry. But I just picked up the pen and signed my name.
01:46You're signing? Just like that?
01:52It's done. But Carolee, you'd better not regret your choice.
02:00You accepted the settlement. Now you explain the divorce to Grandma.
02:04I'm not explaining anything. Aren't you madly in love with Esme? Can't you even muster the courage to face your
02:11own grandmother?
02:11For three years, I cared for him when he was blind. A substitute rive paying a debt.
02:17Now, my freedom had finally arrived. I genuinely hope your perfect fairy tale lasts forever.
02:26Evelana! I heard you're divorcing my brother. That car is Gibson family property. You can't take it.
02:32I paid for this car myself. Honestly, Marga, you're just as brazen as Carrie.
02:38Carrie. What's happening here?
02:40Carrie, she's taking the car. And I was planning to use it.
02:44Evelina, hand over the keys to Margo.
02:50Absolutely not. Why should I?
02:53As Margo lunged for the keys, I tossed my old suitcase into the car, followed by a handful of lit
02:58firecrackers.
03:00Are you insane?
03:03The car is yours now. I don't want it.
03:06Well, if it isn't the real Queen Evelina herself.
03:09I couldn't tell if I'd attended your wedding or your funeral three years ago.
03:13Finally done with that blind fool? Good. We need to stock up on fireworks to celebrate.
03:18You're too late.
03:20Just then, an explosive bang split the night as the car erupted into flame.
03:27How's that for a farewell gift?
03:29There she is! Queen Evelana is finally back!
03:35Let's party another day. I just desperately need sleep.
03:42But inside the villa, my departure was still causing chaos.
03:47She nearly scared me to death! She destroyed our car! Carrie, you have to do something!
03:52That's enough! Is this childish tantrum how a Gibson should behave?
03:56You're scolding me over that woman? Wait until I tell Esma!
04:00Don't talk nonsense.
04:05Have you forgotten Jasper Russell is arriving soon?
04:08If Esa successfully heals Miss Russell's eyesight, become indispensable to the Russell family!
04:14Even Grandma will have to accept her!
04:17And if you assist Esma, perhaps Jasper himself will notice you.
04:23The powerful Russell family is in town searching for the sight waver.
04:27Their granddaughter is blind. Demi swore she would never expose me. Don't worry.
04:36You must be Miss Russell!
04:37Welcome! You look absolutely extraordinary.
04:40Margot, perhaps you should get your eyes checked.
04:44It's you?
04:49Carrie, darling. It's your ex-wife. You should say hello.
04:53It must have been so challenging for an orphan like her to follow you all this way.
04:58Where did you get the money for that dress? Did you drain Carrie's accounts?
05:03You look like a tramp trying to win him back!
05:07I'll rip that smug face of yours apart!
05:10Miss Gibson, please! This is not appropriate behavior.
05:14Keep going.
05:15I'm recording this for Jasper Russell. Let's show him how refined you are.
05:20You wouldn't dare!
05:22Esma, protect me!
05:24We'll be family soon! You have to defend me from her!
05:29Since when do outsiders dictate the rules in this house?
05:33Oh, Evelina.
05:35It's not your fault you have no manners.
05:37You didn't have parents to teach you.
05:46If you think causing trouble will win you points, you're mistaken.
05:52It's pathetic.
05:55Apologize to Esme right now.
05:57Maybe fix your own judgment before trying to lecture me.
06:04Don't you dare! Walk away from me!
06:06Carrie, what are you doing?
06:07You're staring at her. You've upset Esme.
06:11Evie, my dear girl.
06:13You've endured so much.
06:15Don't worry, Demi.
06:16Are your joints troubling you again in this chilly weather?
06:19Same old pain.
06:20That foolish grandson of mine.
06:23Blindly letting go of such a gem.
06:26It's all right, Demi.
06:27Evie, sweetheart.
06:28Just once more.
06:30Can you give Callie another chance for my sake?
06:33I waited three long years for him to see me.
06:35He never did.
06:37Another chance won't change anything.
06:38Suddenly, the tense silence was bashered.
06:46My dress! It's ruined!
06:48What was that about, Grandma?
06:50How dare you ask!
06:52Without this woman, would you have had your accident?
06:55Would you have lost your sight?
06:56I've said it countless times.
06:58Esme wasn't responsible for that.
07:01Evelina, have you been whispering lies to Grandma again?
07:04Of course it's her.
07:06That orphan would do anything to cling to this family.
07:10She's despicable.
07:12Enough!
07:15Evelina is the granddaughter-in-law I chose.
07:17Are you challenging my authority?
07:19You simply don't want me to leave Evelina.
07:21But Esme is the one I love.
07:25She is my only future.
07:27Excellent.
07:29Marvelous.
07:32Then let me be clear.
07:35Divorce Evelina, and you surrender 10% of your Gibson shares to her.
07:40Grandma, you can't mean that.
07:41And Esme?
07:43She will never set foot inside this household again while I'm alive.
07:47I have spoken.
07:50Defy me, Carly, and you forfeit your place as a Gibson.
07:58Grandma shares for her?
08:00She's a parentless orphan.
08:01Silence, Margot.
08:02Demi, Carly is your own grandson.
08:05I have other grandsons.
08:07Let's see how far his love gets him when he's penniless.
08:09Are you satisfied now, Evelina?
08:11You've turned my own grandmother against me.
08:13I was just trying to keep Grandma calm.
08:15Her heart is weak, and these vultures would be the death of her.
08:19Ma'am!
08:20Mr. Russell, he's here.
08:24Evelina, we have an important guest.
08:26You should leave through the back.
08:27Actually, Callie and I are still legally married.
08:30I belong here.
08:32But Miss Barton, she's just the mistress.
08:36It's hardly appropriate for her to greet a respected visitor.
08:39How dare you!
08:40Mr. Russell is here for Esme.
08:42She's the sight walker, the one who cured my blindness.
08:44He was so proud, so blind to the obvious.
08:46He was defending a lie with the passion of a knight, defending his queen.
08:49The who?
08:50She cured your blindness?
08:51Yes.
08:51She was personally trained by Professor Landon Mitchell.
08:54At that moment, I finally understood why Grandma had given up on him.
08:57He was a fool.
08:58Seems I've arrived at the perfect moment.
09:01He walked right past my mother-in-law, ignoring her fanging, and stopped directly in front of Esme.
09:06You are the renowned sight-wilder?
09:09I... my dress is stained.
09:11I must go change immediately.
09:13Running away, Miss Barton?
09:14Is it because you're not really Professor Mitchell's student?
09:17That's nonsense!
09:18I studied with him while you were at home folding Carrie's clothes!
09:23Oh, then you must know.
09:25How many surgeries did it take to restore Carrie's vision?
09:29Three.
09:30Obviously.
09:30I performed them myself.
09:33It was four.
09:35Right!
09:36Four!
09:37Of course it was four!
09:38So which is it, Esme?
09:40Three?
09:41Or four?
09:47There have been so many surgeries.
09:49I honestly can't recall each one.
09:51A surgeon who forgets her own procedures?
09:54You're an imposter.
09:55How about a little waiter?
09:56Who are you to challenge Esme?
09:58Margaret, silence.
10:00Well, Miss Barton, if your claims are legitimate, this shouldn't faze you.
10:04Fine.
10:05I accept your ridiculous bet.
10:07You're just desperate to win Carrie back, aren't you?
10:11Pathetic.
10:12Here's the bet.
10:14Prove you can restore Flory Russell's sight.
10:19Enough of your slander!
10:20Esme reviewed Flory's records and assured me she can treat her!
10:23But Evelina was unmoved by his fury.
10:25Wonderful.
10:26Then if you fail, you'll apologize publicly at Professor Mitchell's grave and confess your deception to the world.
10:30You'll do anything to tarnish her.
10:32What if she succeeds?
10:33Then I'll openly admit my error for everyone to see.
10:35Not good enough!
10:37If Esme wins, you'll vanish from my brother's life forever!
10:40Agreed.
10:42Sir, would you witness our bet?
10:44Certainly.
10:45He agreed without hesitation, his voice carrying the weight of his family's name.
10:48With a credible witness, no one can wriggle out of this.
10:51His agreement sealed the pact.
10:52There was no escape now.
10:53Who exactly are you accusing Evelina?
10:55Enough!
10:56Esme, remember your place!
10:58I have other matters to attend to.
11:00Miss Barton, you claimed you can treat my niece.
11:03The first operation is in one week.
11:06One week?
11:07I might need more preparation time.
11:09That's your concern, not mine.
11:11Just ensure your success.
11:16Daughter, some dignity.
11:18Humiliation and resentment flashed across Allura's face.
11:21The grand living room felt cold and empty, filled only with the bitter silence of defeat and scheming.
11:26Well, did you see Jasper Russell?
11:27Is he as ridiculously attractive as they say?
11:30Unfortunately, no.
11:31The man who showed up today was just an assistant.
11:33Predictable.
11:33Does Margot honestly believe she'll marry into the Russell family?
11:36The last woman who chased Jasper had her entire...
11:39I know.
11:39The man is notoriously ruthless.
11:41Anyway, my queen, I've signed some new talent.
11:44Mind coming by to take a look?
11:46Sure.
11:47I'll be there.
11:48Sir, Esma Barton is hiding something.
11:49But Carly Gibson's soon-to-be ex-wife Evelina Marsh, she seems certain Esme is a fraud.
11:52Soon to be getting a divorce?
11:53Yes, in progress.
11:54But Carly is openly flaunting his relationship with Esma.
11:56Disgusting.
11:57All of Carly's eye surgeries happened after he married Evelina.
11:59She must be connected to the genuine psychic.
12:00Keep a close watch on her and find whatever means necessary to unearth the truth.
12:03We're still influential!
12:04Why shouldn't I have a shot at him?
12:06Why does everyone treat me like I'm not good enough?
12:08Margot, can't you see what's really happening here?
12:11Do you really think Evelina showed up today dressed like that just to irritate Carrie?
12:16What do you mean?
12:17Did you notice something?
12:18It's quite possible the butler tipped Evlana off about Mr. Russell's visit.
12:21You mean she's after Jasper?
12:22How dare that trap try to seduce another man right under our noses!
12:25She lost Carly to me, so she's desperately looking for her next target.
12:28While Mr. Russell would never marry her, it won't stop her from trying to seduce him.
12:31She wouldn't dare!
12:32Margot, sometimes it only takes one night.
12:35If she manages that, she'll be set for life.
12:37Didn't your friend Hayden Reed mention he knows some hired thugs?
12:44Hayden, you've been begging me for a date.
12:46Do one thing for me first.
12:49Get rid of someone.
12:51Do one thing for me first.
12:53Do one thing for me first.
12:53Do one thing for me first.
12:55Do one thing for me first.
12:56Do one thing for me first.
