Short filmTranscript
00:00I grew up abroad. My mother feared I might marry a foreign man, so she arranged an engagement for me
00:06with a talented and handsome man in Float On.
00:08She insisted that I return home to get engaged. I came back and started shopping for an engagement dress at
00:14a luxury boutique.
00:15I 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.
00:28The saleswoman immediately yanked it out of my hands. I protested indignantly.
00:33Excuse me, I was here first. Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served? Or do you just
00:38not 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.
00:54In 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.
01:11If Lucas Goodwin failed to give me a proper explanation on that day, I would cancel the engagement banquet.
01:17To my surprise, Lucas responded coldly,
01:20Who are you?
01:22Since 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?
01:33Meanwhile, Vivian Morrow, who was standing beside me, grinned triumphantly.
01:38You wench.
01:39Did you really think having Lucas' number makes you special?
01:43Keep dreaming.
01:45She looked at me with open contempt.
01:47Even the Janners at Goodwin's group dress better than you.
01:50I 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.
01:58What era are you even living in?
02:00To think you'd still be judging people by their looks.
02:03Lucas must be out of his mind to call you his sister in All But Blood.
02:06My mood for shopping was ruined, thanks to her antics.
02:09I grabbed the gown and headed straight to the checkout counter.
02:12The saleswoman hesitated before saying,
02:15Miss, I'm sorry, but we prioritize our members first.
02:18Vivian smirked and slammed her shiny gold membership card onto the counter.
02:22Only people who've spent over a million get this card.
02:25What's a broke loser like you even doing here?
02:28I was not usually one to pick fights, but on that day, Vivian had really crossed a line.
02:33I pulled out a black card and handed it to the saleswoman.
02:37I suppressed my anger and said,
02:39Sign me up for a membership.
02:40Then bagged the gown.
02:43Vivian glared at the saleswoman and threatened,
02:45The Goodwin's own Floatin.
02:47If you sell her that gown today, I'll have Luke's buy this store out tomorrow.
02:51The saleswoman shrank back timidly and said,
02:54Miss, I'm just an employee.
02:56I can't risk offending Goodwin's group.
02:58Several onlookers turned to me and offered me advice in whispers.
03:02That's Mrs. Morrow.
03:03I've seen her around.
03:04Lucas Goodwin's oils were rotten.
03:06You should just let it go.
03:07The last time someone crossed her, Goodwin's group drove them into bankruptcy.
03:11You may have some money, but it's pocket change compared to Goodwin's group.
03:15Just apologize to Mrs. Morrow now and beg her to spare you.
03:18Flattered by their words, Vivian's ego swelled like a balloon.
03:22You wench, get on your knees and say,
03:25I'm a worthless poser and I'm sorry.
03:28Maybe then I'll consider letting you off the hook.
03:31At 26 years of my life,
03:32I had never encountered anyone audacious enough to act so arrogantly in front of me.
03:37Pardon?
03:38What did you just ask me to say?
03:41What?
03:42What are you, deaf?
03:44Say I'm a worthless poser.
03:45I'm sorry.
03:47Do I need to spell it out for you?
03:48I smirked.
03:49I heard you.
03:51Since you're aware that you're a worthless poser,
03:53get out of my sight.
03:55Don't waste my time.
03:57When Vivian finally realized she was being mocked,
04:00she flailed her arms and charged at me.
04:02It was laughable to see her trying to attack me.
04:04I had a black belt in taekwondo.
04:06Did she really think her flimsy punches would scare me?
04:09I sent Vivian crashing to the floor with a single kick.
04:15She howled in pain.
04:17The onlookers stared at me in horror.
04:19Onlooker gosh, did she just do that to Mrs. Morley?
04:23Mr. Goodwin is going to tear her to pieces once he hears about this.
04:27Yeah, good luck to her.
04:29Not even God can save her.
04:31I felt nothing when I heard their whispers.
04:33The Goodwin family had only achieved their current status through my mother's support.
04:38No one in this city could intimidate me.
04:40I slammed my card on the counter again and said to the cashier,
04:45Ring me up.
04:46The cashier, visibly shaken, fumbled as she processed my payment and wrapped up the gown.
04:51I turned to leave with the bag in hand.
04:54Vivian scrambled to stand up and blocked my path again.
04:57You're not going anywhere!
04:58I raised my fist and waved it in front of her face.
05:02What's the matter?
05:03Do you want to taste my fist again?
05:05Vivian flinched instinctively.
05:07I scoffed and strode past her.
05:10Just then, a black car pulled up in front of the store.
05:13A man stepped out.
05:15I felt my heart skip a beat.
05:17Vivian immediately rushed over tearfully to tattle.
05:20Luke!
05:20She stole my gown from me!
05:22And even hit me!
05:24So, this was my fiancé.
05:26I had always been a sucker for good looks, and Lucas' appearance was exactly my type.
05:31Based on his looks alone, I felt I could forgive his previous rudeness.
05:36I gave him my best smile.
05:38Hi!
05:40I'm Lily Winsan, your fiancé.
05:43It was no wonder my mother said I would be satisfied with the man she had picked this time.
05:48She really knew me inside out.
05:49The onlookers immediately erupted in gasps.
05:52What?
05:54She's Mr. Goodwin's fiancé?
05:57Lucas looked at me coldly.
05:59Don't get ahead of yourself.
06:01My father arranged this engagement without my consent.
06:04I never agreed to it.
06:06Vivian, who stood beside him, wrapped her arm around his and leaned intimately against his shoulder.
06:11She shot me a provocative glance.
06:13Look at yourself.
06:14There is no way Lukes would ever marry an ugly creature like you!
06:18Someone chimed in.
06:19Exactly!
06:20If Mr. Goodwin were to marry, it would be to some rich girl from a proper family with equal status,
06:25not some country bumping like you.
06:26With her looks, Goodwin's group wouldn't even hire her to mop floors.
06:29I had never considered myself a stunning beauty, but I was certainly not ugly.
06:34How could they describe me in such derogatory terms?
06:37This proved how people instinctively curry favor with the powerful and took advantage of those in misfortune.
06:42Lucas Goodwin, go home and tell your father that I'm calling off this engagement.
06:49You don't deserve me.
06:53According to my mother, his father had pulled countless strings to arrange this marriage alliance with our family.
06:59If he learned that his own son had ruined it, he'd skin Lucas alive.
07:03The thought lifted my mood a little.
07:05I could not be bothered to waste more time on these idiots, so I turned to leave.
07:09But Vivian, knowing that Lucas would back her up, refused to let it go.
07:14She blocked my path again.
07:16Don't even try to run, you wench!
07:18We're not done here!
07:20You stole my gown and hit me!
07:22I looked at her disdainfully.
07:24What exactly do you want?
07:26Mistaking my calm for fear, she raised her hand to slap me.
07:29I'll slap you until I feel satisfied!
07:31I caught her wrist mid-swing and slapped her across the face without hesitation.
07:36She stared at me in shock.
07:39Had enough?
07:40Vivian said angrily.
07:42Those two slaps wiped the arrogant look off Vivian's face.
07:46She burst into tears and cowered behind Lucas.
07:49Lucas, do something!
07:51Lucas shielded her protectively and snarled,
07:54Touch my girl again and I'll end you.
07:57He signaled his bodyguards to grab me.
08:00I managed to take down the first bodyguard with a quick strike,
08:03but the second one pinned me down.
08:05After a barrage of blows, I collapsed to the floor.
08:08The two bodyguards hauled me up and forced me to my knees before Vivian and Lucas.
08:13They looked down at me.
08:14Lucas backed Vivian up and said,
08:16Vivi, do whatever you want to her.
08:21I've got your back.
08:22With Lucas' reassurance, Vivian immediately gained confidence.
08:26She slapped me twice, then spat in my face.
08:29You wench.
08:31Where's all that attitude now?
08:33Huh?
08:35Come on.
08:36Show me how tough you are.
08:38Then she kicked me hard in the stomach.
08:41Clutching my aching abdomen,
08:43I raised my gaze to glare at her and Lucas.
08:46You'll regret this.
08:48I swear you'll pay for this.
08:52Vivian laughed arrogantly.
08:54The Goodwin family is one of the top three powerful families running this city.
08:58What can a broke loser like you even do against me?
09:01Today, I'll teach you what happens when you mess with me.
09:04She pulled out a nail clipper from her bag and slashed it across my face.
09:08Searing pain shot through my cheek as the skin swelled,
09:11and I felt blood seeping out.
09:13Someone sighed in pity.
09:14I told her not to cross the Goodwin family.
09:16Guess she had to learn the hard way.
09:19What a shame.
09:20Her pretty face is ruined now.
09:22Folks like us can't afford trouble.
09:24We'd better swallow our pride when we're out here.
09:27Vivian raised the nail clipper again,
09:29aiming for another slash at my face.
09:31Terror at the thought of disfigurement overwhelmed me,
09:34and I quickly begged for mercy.
09:36Fine, fine, I'm sorry.
09:39Take the dress.
09:41I shouldn't have fought you for it.
09:43Revenge could wait.
09:45At that moment, saving my face was the priority.
09:47However, Vivian still slashed the blade across my face again.
09:53Oh, now you're sorry.
09:55Well, it's too late now.
09:58Wench, I won't let you go until I've vented every ounce of my rage.
10:02I screamed in pain and turned to Lucas for help.
10:05Lucas, you know my background.
10:07Aren't you afraid of the consequences?
10:09If you keep letting her humiliate me like this,
10:12you'll regret it.
10:13Lucas sneered.
10:14What status could you possibly have?
10:17Your mother bewitched my father
10:19into forcing this engagement on me.
10:21A vicious gleam flashed in Vivian's gaze.
10:24Your mother is a witch,
10:26and I bet you are one too.
10:29Strip off and let me see clearly.
10:33No!
10:34Just then, my phone rang from inside my bag.
10:36I struggled desperately to reach it,
10:38but Vivian snatched it first.
10:40She swiped to answer,
10:41and my mother's voice came through immediately.
10:44Lillabelt?
10:45How's the gown shopping going?
10:47I hurriedly shouted for help.
10:49Mom!
10:50Save me!
10:51Someone's hurting me!
10:53She's trying to strip me off!
10:55My mother panicked.
10:57What?
10:57Who's doing this to you?
10:59Vivian cut in arrogantly.
11:01Me!
11:02Your little witch daughter has been begging for attention,
11:05so I'm putting her in her place.
11:06My mother snapped.
11:07I don't care who you are.
11:08Let my daughter go now,
11:09or you'll pay for this when I get there.
11:11Try me!
11:13I'll be right here to catch you, you witch!
11:15With that, Vivian hung up my phone and furled it to the floor.
11:18It shattered into pieces.
11:20She slapped me across the face again and sneered.
11:23The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
11:26Huh?
11:27When your mother shows up,
11:29I'll strip her down too.
11:30Time crawled by.
11:32It felt like half a century,
11:33but in reality, it had only been five minutes.
11:36Finally, a familiar stretched limousine appeared.
11:40My mother stepped out of the car and demanded,
11:43Let me see who dares threaten to strip me down.
11:46The instant I saw my mother,
11:48a wave of pent-up grievances surged through me.
11:51Mom!
11:51I cried as my voice broke with emotion.
11:54My mother's heart broke at the sight of me.
11:56She immediately rushed toward me
11:58and pulled me into her embrace.
12:00I finally felt safe when I leaned against my mother's chest.
12:03The surrounding onlookers gasped in astonishment at my mother's vehicle.
12:07Look!
12:07That's a limited edition stretch limousine!
12:10Only the extremely rich and powerful can own that car.
12:13It seems Vivian messed with the wrong person this time.
12:16Wrong person.
12:18Please.
12:19Even if she's got connections,
12:21nobody could possibly outrank the Goodwin family in this city.
12:24Vivian thought the same too.
12:25She charged toward my mother.
12:27So you're the witch who raised this brat?
12:29She dared to steal my dress
12:31and hit me.
12:32Tell me,
12:33how are you going to make this right?
12:35My mother raised her eyes to look at her.
12:37How am I going to make this right?
12:40Oblivious to my mother's murderous glare,
12:42Vivian made her demands without restraint.
12:45This was my dress
12:46until your trashy daughter put her hands on it.
12:49Now it's ruined.
12:51You'll pay ten times the price.
12:53And for those slaps,
12:55she'll kneel right here
12:56and slap herself twenty times in front of everyone.
12:59Most importantly,
13:00cancel her engagement with Luke.
13:02Do everything I say
13:04and maybe I'll let you walk out of here in one piece.
13:07Otherwise,
13:08you're not leaving this store alive.
13:10My mother laughed in disbelief
13:12when she heard Vivian's outrageous demands.
13:14She gave my shoulder a reassuring pat
13:16before walking toward Vivian.
13:18The engagement between Lillebeau and the Goodwin family
13:21will most certainly be cancelled.
13:23Lucas could never measure up
13:24to being part of our family
13:26as for the rest of your demands.
13:28My mother raised her hand
13:30and slapped her face hard.
13:31Don't even dream about it.
13:33You're the ones who won't be walking out today.
13:36Vivian stood stunned for a second
13:37before attempting to retaliate.
13:40My mother's bodyguard kicked her to her knees
13:42then pinned her arms down.
13:43After struggling futilely,
13:45Vivian lifted her head to plead with Lucas.
13:48Lucas!
13:49It hurts!
13:51Help me!
13:52Lucas signaled his bodyguards to intervene,
13:54but within seconds,
13:55they were overpowered and slammed to the floor.
13:58The most satisfying part followed.
14:00Lucas himself was forced to my knees before me.
14:03My mother did not hold back and slapped Lucas.
14:06I've never laid a finger on Lilibeth since she was born.
14:09And you dare humiliate her like this today,
14:12you'll repay this a thousand times over.
14:15My mother did not hold back and slapped Lucas.
14:18You old hag!
14:20How dare you hit me?
14:21I'm the chairman of Goodwin's group.
14:23You have no idea what consequences you'll face.
14:26How dare you hurt my daughter?
14:27I'd slap your father just like I slapped you if he's here.
14:30The onlookers grew even more shocked.
14:32Who does this woman think she is?
14:35Mr. Goodwin Sr. ran the underworld in his youth.
14:38After leaving that life behind,
14:39he built the Goodwin's group.
14:40Even now, everyone in Floaten shows him respect.
14:43She just struck Mr. Goodwin Sr.'s golden boy.
14:47There's no way she's walking away from this.
14:49My mother ignored their whispers.
14:51She gently touched my swollen, bleeding cheek.
14:54Oh, Lilibel, you've suffered enough.
14:57But I'm here now.
14:59Don't be afraid.
15:00Do you want payback?
15:02Just say the word.
15:03I was not the type to turn the other cheek to begin with.
15:06I certainly would not be after what Vivian just called.
15:09I stared at her with a furious gaze.
15:11First, I struck her repeatedly across the face to vent my anger.
15:16Then, I picked up the nail clipper she had used to slash my cheek
15:19and slowly brought it closer to her face.
15:22Vivian trembled violently.
15:24Don't!
15:25Don't you dare touch my face!
15:26I'll fight you to the death!
15:28Without hesitation, I made the first cut.
15:30She let out a blood-curdling scream as a bleeding gash swelled along one cheek.
15:35I slashed the blade repeatedly.
15:37Soon, her face was swollen beyond recognition.
15:40It looked bruised and bloody.
15:41She could do nothing but wail in helpless agony as she was pinned down by the bodyguards.
15:48My face...
15:49My face is ruined!
15:51It was true that a person would not know the pain until it was theirs to bear.
15:55When she tried to disfigure me, she should have expected retribution.
15:58Lucas, who was nearby, snarled at me.
16:02You psychotic wench!
16:04When my father finds out what you did to Vivi, he'll make you pay!
16:08My mother said coldly,
16:10Good.
16:11Let Bernard come.
16:12We'll see who he punishes.
16:14You or us.
16:15My mother immediately took out her phone and called Bernard Goodwin.
16:19He answered instantly,
16:20Hello, Denia.
16:22What's the matter?
16:23My mother replied coldly,
16:25Bernard,
16:26You've certainly raised an exceptional son.
16:29Recognizing her displeasure, Bernard responded with forced laughter,
16:33Denia, what has my useless son done now?
16:37Just say the word, and I'll punish him severely.
16:39You know, Lilliville is my only daughter.
16:41I've cherished her like the apple of my eye since she was born.
16:44Yes, of course.
16:45Rest assured, when Mrs. Winsone marries into our family, I won't let her suffer even the slightest reasons.
16:52My mother's voice trembled with suppressed rage.
16:55Well, your precious boy, Lucas, has let Lilliville suffer a terrible humiliation.
17:01He tied her up and allowed her to be beaten and insulted for the sake of some pretend sister.
17:07How are you going to make this right?
17:09Bernard was in disbelief when he heard this.
17:11He then said,
17:12What?
17:13That brat hurt Mrs. Winsone.
17:16Skin him alive for all I care.
17:18Do whatever you want with him.
17:20Lucas, who was kneeling on the floor, shouted,
17:22Dad, has this witch cast a spell on you?
17:25These two witches are evil.
17:27They ruined Vivi's face and made me kneel.
17:31Instead of saving me, you're letting them have their way with me.
17:34I'm your son!
17:36Bernard roared furiously.
17:37You're a disgrace. After this disaster you've caused, I wish I'd never had you!
17:44Lucas tried to speak again.
17:45My mother ended the call deliberately.
17:47She looked at him with contempt.
17:49Do you still think your father is going to save you?
17:52You black widow.
17:54Don't get cocky.
17:55He's just blowing off steam.
17:57I'm his flesh and blood.
17:59When he comes for me, you're dead.
18:01Ever since I could remember, my father's memory was my mother's most tender spot.
18:06No one would dare broach it.
18:07Lucas truly had a death wish and was walking straight into the line of fire.
18:12As expected, my mother's expression darkened.
18:15She looked at him with a murderous gaze.
18:17I swiftly kicked Lucas in the back.
18:19He sprawled face first onto the floor.
18:22Mom, don't waste your anger on this worthless fool.
18:25Let me handle him.
18:26I know exactly how to deal with them.
18:28With that, I ordered the bodyguards to take both of them away.
18:31I sidled up to mom and whined.
18:33Mom, my face really hurts.
18:36Will you come with me to get it treated first?
18:38My coaxing tone successfully snapped my mother back to rationality.
18:42She gently touched my injured cheek and accompanied me to the hospital.
18:46Flodon's top dermatologists and plastic surgeons gathered to examine me.
18:50After disinfecting my facial wounds, they discussed treatment plans to ensure no scars would remain.
18:55Once the treatment plan was finalized, the doctors gradually dispersed.
19:00Only my mother and I remained in the ward.
19:03I leaned my head against her shoulder and murmured reassuringly.
19:06Mom, don't take Lucas' words to heart.
19:09Lilibelt, your father really did die because of me.
19:12Do you hate me for making you grow up without a father?
19:14Her voice thickened with guilt and regret.
19:16I shook my head and hugged her tighter.
19:19I knew better than anyone how much she had suffered these years.
19:22My father had been part of the underworld.
19:24He had countless subordinates.
19:26Bernard was just one of his underlings.
19:29Everything changed when he met my mother.
19:31They fell in love at first sight.
19:33The violent womanizer who lived for fights and flings finally settled down.
19:37From that moment, his heart belonged only to my mother.
19:40But this gave my father a weakness.
19:42His enemies repeatedly targeted my mother.
19:45In the end, he sacrificed his life protecting her.
19:47I was less than a year old at the time.
19:50My grandparents said she would have followed my father in death had I not existed.
19:53For my sake, she dragged herself through the grief.
19:56She dissolved my father's underworld organization.
19:59From its members, she selected those with business acumen and funded their ventures.
20:04My mother understood the danger of drawing attention.
20:07To shield me from becoming a target, she maintained a low profile and never appeared before the media or public.
20:12It was no exaggeration to say my mother built three of Floden's major financial empires.
20:18Only a few knew this truth.
20:19This explained why idiots like Lucas remained ignorant of her true status.
20:24That was why he dared spew nonsense.
20:27After a week of medical treatment, my facial injuries healed completely.
20:31My skin became even smoother and more radiant than before.
20:35One day, the housekeeper brought over another gift from Bernard.
20:38It was a 1945 Chateau Lafite.
20:41It was one of only a few left in the world.
20:43It was clear Bernard had gone to great lengths to save his son.
20:47After locking Lucas and Vivian up for a week, it was about time I paid them a visit.
20:51I instructed the housekeeper to inform Bernard who was waiting outside.
20:56Then, I had the bodyguards bring Lucas and Vivian up from the basement.
20:59Those seven short days had transformed them beyond recognition.
21:03Their hair was matted and their bodies reeked of foul odors.
21:07Vivian's facial wounds were left untreated.
21:09It had festered and swollen.
21:11Her entire face had turned into a bloated mess and was ruined beyond repair.
21:16When Lucas spotted Bernard, tears of relief streamed down his face.
21:20He scrambled over on hands and knees.
21:23Dad!
21:24You're finally here!
21:25You have no idea what I've been through these days.
21:28He pointed a shaking finger at me.
21:31It was her!
21:31She locked me in that water cell.
21:35She deprived me of sleep, starved me, and forced me to eat rotten food.
21:41I smiled slightly as I looked at him.
21:43Yet you always licked the bowl clean though, didn't you Mr. Goodwin?
21:48Human survival instincts were truly remarkable.
21:51I had ordered the guards to deliver just one meal of cold, rancid oatmeal per day.
21:55At first, Lucas proudly declared he would rather starve than touch such food.
22:00He was the chairman of Goodwin's group, after all.
22:03But after three days without food, pride became meaningless.
22:06They fought over that putrid oatmeal and even licked their bowls clean.
22:10Lucas glared at me savagely.
22:12You vicious witch.
22:15Now that my father is here, your little game is over.
22:19Sometimes I marveled at life scales of balance.
22:21When it gave you one thing, it would always take away another.
22:25Clearly, Lucas' intelligence had been traded for his looks.
22:28Before he could finish his threat, Bernard struck him across the head.
22:32You disgrace!
22:34Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
22:37Get on your knees and apologize to Ms. Windshow right now!
22:41Lucas turned to his father, his face twisted in betrayal.
22:45Why should I apologize?
22:47She tortured me for days!
22:50Instead of having my back, why are you taking her side?
22:53Bernard looked at his clueless son in despair.
22:56He was truly at his wit's end.
22:58Since my mother had given strict instructions, Bernard could not reveal my identity.
23:02He could only vent his frustration by kicking Lucas behind the knees and forcing him to kneel before me.
23:08Bernard spoke with cautious deference.
23:10Mrs. Wingsway, I know this worthless son of mine has angered you.
23:15Nothing he does will ever make up for it.
23:18But he's my only child.
23:21Please, spare his life.
23:23Witnessing his father's humiliating submission, Lucas finally realized that I was not just some nobody.
23:29Dad, who is she?
23:33We're the Goodwin family.
23:35One of the three most powerful families running this city.
23:38Since when has there been anyone we can't afford to offend?
23:41Bernard glared at him with disgust.
23:43You stupid brat!
23:44How many times have I told you there's always someone above us?
23:48I told you to behave, but you never listened!
23:51Let me make this clear.
23:53Mrs. Winsaw is exactly who we can't afford to offend.
23:59Whether you walk out of here depends entirely on her.
24:03Finally comprehending the gravity of the situation, Lucas's expression shifted from resentment to pure terror.
24:09He stammered and said,
24:17I sat in my chair as I slowly sipped the coffee beside me before addressing them.
24:22Bernard, you're actually wrong about Lucas.
24:25He wasn't the one who offended me.
24:27It's his sister in all but blood that did.
24:29Lucas merely wanted to stand up for her.
24:31You're such a disgrace!
24:33Instead of learning proper conduct, you're messing around with some pretend sister.
24:38Get that woman out of my sight.
24:39Now.
24:40Seeing this, Vivian instantly realized Lucas was barely keeping his own head above water at the moment.
24:46He could not save himself, much less her.
24:48Just remembering her time in the water cell, she vowed never to suffer like that again.
24:53Her legs gave out.
24:55She collapsed to her knees with a thud and started apologizing frantically.
24:58Mrs. Winsaw!
25:00I'm sorry!
25:01I'm sorry!
25:03I'm the worthless poser!
25:05Please forgive me!
25:06Please spare me just this once.
25:09Please.
25:09Please.
25:10I beg you!
25:12Please spare my miserable life!
25:15Her words echoed in the room as she repeatedly begged for forgiveness on her knees.
25:20Lucas finally lowered his proud head in submission.
25:23Mrs. Winsbone, I was blind and foolish to wrong you.
25:26I won't bully people or pull that privileged nonsense again.
25:31Please just give me this one chance.
25:32After finishing my coffee, I set the cup aside.
25:35I looked at the people around me and said calmly,
25:38My, you are all speaking as if I'm some homicidal maniac.
25:42This is a society governed by law.
25:45Do I really look like a criminal to you?
25:47Bernard ventured cautiously.
25:49Mrs. Winstone, does this mean you're forgiving this idiot?
25:53I smiled.
25:54Of course.
25:55Though they'd hurt me, I've hurt them too.
25:59An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
26:01I'll let this matter end here.
26:03Lucas and Vivian resumed frantically thanking me for their mercy.
26:07I cleared my throat before continuing.
26:09Not only do I forgive you, I intend to grant you a blessing.
26:14The three of them looked confused.
26:17After some digging, I discovered Vivian and Lucas have been dating all along.
26:22They adopted the pretend sibling's pretense because you wouldn't approve, Bernard.
26:27Well, congratulations, lovebirds.
26:30You'll be heading straight to the city hall after this.
26:32You've got exactly seven days to throw a wedding and float on.
26:35My words were met with mixed reactions.
26:38Some were delighted, others horrified.
26:40Vivian had never expected this misfortune to turn into her lucky break.
26:44Her long-held dream of climbing society's ladder by marrying a wealthy man was finally coming true.
26:49A thrill of victory rose in her chest, and she could not help but smile.
26:54However, that smile looked particularly grotesque and unsettling on her nearly disfigured face.
26:59The one displeased by this turn of events was naturally Bernard.
27:02He had always looked down on Vivian's background and behavior.
27:06This disaster involving Lucas had been partly caused by her, deepening his disdain toward her.
27:11I observed the three of them, each lost in their own thoughts, and asked,
27:17Well, can you do it?
27:21When they gave me their agreement, I waved them off with a smile.
27:25There's a car waiting outside.
27:27To take you love-largs to the city hall.
27:29They scrambled to their feet and dashed out, as if afraid I might change my mind if they delayed even
27:34a second.
27:35The filthy, foul-smelling Lucas and Vivian were delivered straight to the city hall's entrance.
27:40A staff member approached them.
27:42She suppressed her disgust at the stench.
27:45Sir, miss, how may I assist you?
27:48Lucas glanced at Vivian's swollen face and could not help but feel repulsed.
27:53Still high on the thrill of bagging a good one, Vivian blurted out,
27:57We're here to get married!
27:59Even after years of handling registrations, this was the most bizarre couple the staff had ever encountered.
28:05Most couples dress their best when registering for marriage, but these two looked like refugees fleeing a disaster.
28:11The groom looked especially disgusted and reluctant.
28:14The staff processed their paperwork dutifully despite their appearance.
28:18When my driver reported they had successfully tied a knot, I felt the wicked satisfaction of a prankster seeing their
28:24scheme succeed.
28:26This particular prank, however, would haunt them for life.
28:30A week later, their wedding had the whole internet talking about the Goodwin family.
28:34The viral wedding coverage caused Goodwin's group stocks to plummet.
28:37Their assets were halved, knocking them out of Flodon's top three spots, though my orchestrated behind-the-scenes certainly helped.
28:44Bernard blamed Vivian entirely.
28:47He was convinced she had brought misfortune to the Goodwin family.
28:50From the moment she married in, he never showed her even a hint of kindness.
28:54After marriage, Lucas became a habitual womanizer who refused to go home and face Vivian's disfigured face due to the
29:02result of untreated wounds.
29:03Initially, Vivian had been overjoyed about marrying into the Goodwin family.
29:07As time passed, she realized even the housemaids did not regard her as Lucas's legitimate wife.
29:13Her influence within the Goodwin family was negligible.
29:16The meager monthly allowance she received was not even close to her imagined aristocratic lifestyle.
29:21They fought constantly about Lucas's repeated affairs.
29:24Through these constant fights, Vivian grew increasingly paranoid and unstable.
29:28After one particularly vicious quarrel, she snapped.
29:32She stabbed Lucas before ending her own life.
29:35I was vacationing abroad with my mother when we heard the news of their deaths.
29:39Sunlight sifted through the branches.
29:41A new day began in tranquility.
