00:00I have a secret that I can't tell anyone.
00:04The day my mother died, she gripped my hand and whispered,
00:10Emily, don't hate your father.
00:14But I couldn't do it.
00:16Dad's affair had driven Mom to her death.
00:19I hated him with every fiber of my being.
00:23Until Victor Young slowly began to heal my broken heart.
00:28Then came the news of my pregnancy.
00:31At his urging, I forgave my father.
00:34From that moment on, I became Beverly Hills' most pampered expectant mother.
00:40Every prenatal appointment, the hospital corridors buzzed with their presence.
00:45Only on the day of my anatomy scan did they both conspicuously skip.
00:51Emergency project at the company.
00:54I'll have the housekeeper go in with you.
00:57Once I wrap this up, I'll bring gifts for you and the baby.
01:02Disappointed, I lay on the examination table when my phone suddenly buzzed that an anonymous message appeared.
01:10Everything you treasure is a lie.
01:12The camera freezes on her suddenly rigid face.
01:15What secret does this photo hide?
01:18In the hospital room, I tremblingly open the floor video from the message.
01:23In the footage, Dad wore a groom's tuxedo, standing beside Morgana Ashford, the woman who had driven my mother to
01:31death.
01:32Next to her stood an equally pregnant, illegitimate daughter in a wedding dress, arming arm with Victor.
01:41Congratulations, Mr. Hunter, on finding true love, and congratulations to Mr. Young on winning such a perfect bride.
01:51Your previous marriage agreement with Emily was fake.
01:56Her child will be born out of wedlock.
02:00Emily already has everything, while Isabella has with the stigma of illegitimacy since childhood.
02:07I won't let her child repeat that fate.
02:12I nearly collapsed.
02:15Then my phone buzzed again.
02:17A new message with a photo of a sterilization certificate and a line of text.
02:22Just nod, and the child in your womb becomes the sole heir to the Thorne family.
02:27I stared at the message in confusion.
02:34After leaving the hospital, I wandered aimlessly through the rain-soaked streets of Los Angeles.
02:40A giant street screen played a family interview from three months ago, the day I'd learned about my pregnancy.
02:48Dad held up a purchased diamond.
02:50This true love ring is a gift for my future granddaughter.
02:55The price doesn't matter.
02:57What matters is this legacy.
03:01Emily is my one true love.
03:05I'll spend my life protecting her and our child.
03:10The image froze on our smiling faces, with scrolling texts below,
03:15Los Angeles Happiest Family.
03:19Watching this sweet facade on screen, I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears on my face.
03:25My phone suddenly rang.
03:28Victor calling.
03:34Once, I would have answered immediately.
03:38This time, I hesitated, until the ringing nearly stopped, before pressing accept.
03:44Brove such a good actor.
03:45Two years of playing the loving boyfriend with Emily, all for the Hunter family money and Isabella.
03:51You're just jealous that you can't act that well.
03:54Emily's such a fool.
03:57Pregnant, without even a real engagement contract.
04:00Soon she won't even have Hunter Corporation, and she'll be kicked out by Isabella with her bastard child.
04:06Victor's icy reprimand.
04:08Cut through.
04:10Shut up.
04:11Who said you could touch my phone?
04:13The next second, Victor's tone softened dramatically.
04:20Baby, why aren't you talking?
04:24Are you feeling unwell?
04:26That gentle voice almost made me believe everything I'd just heard was a nightmare.
04:32Honey, the baby's kicking me.
04:36Baby, I have urgent business here.
04:39I'll come back to be with you later.
04:43My entire body froze.
04:46My fingertips ice cold.
04:52In the villa's living room, I sat on the couch, pale as paper.
04:57I don't know how long I sat in the villa's living room, before hearing the door open.
05:03Dead and Victor returned with gifts, all smiles.
05:08Swiss sublants for you.
05:11Build up your strength.
05:13Don't shortchange the baby.
05:17Sorry, I couldn't make the appointment.
05:21Tomorrow, I'll have the hospital director personally attend to you.
05:26Victor, is there something you're hiding from me?
05:29For the sake of when I jumped from the second Dysiel's window, and you broke three ribs protecting me, I'm
05:36giving you one last chance.
05:38Silly girl.
05:40You and our child are the most important things in my life.
05:45How could I hide anything from you?
05:47He leaned in to kiss me, but I instinctively turned away.
05:52Both their phones rang urgently.
05:54Dad and Victor looked panicked.
05:56Company emergency.
05:58We'll handle it in the West Wing's study.
06:00They rushed toward the study.
06:05Dad and Victor rushed toward the study in panic.
06:09Two brand new grooms' boutonnières slipped from their pockets, fallen to the floor.
06:14Their discarded new grooms' boutonnières reminded me, tonight was their wedding night.
06:20I suddenly spoke.
06:22Wait.
06:23They turned back, puzzled.
06:25I slowly pulled out a document from my bag and placed it on the coffee table.
06:30Victor signed without hesitation, smiling as he handed it back.
06:35As long as you're happy, I'll sign anything.
06:38I'm yours forever.
06:40I looked at the document labeled,
06:43Biological Father Voluntarily Relinquishes Child Custody Rights.
06:47Tears and Laughter Mixing.
06:50With this document, my child would have no connection to Victor.
06:55At the study door, Victor secretly glanced toward the living room,
06:59calculating coldness flashing in his eyes.
07:06I wiped my tears and called Nargos, my lawyer.
07:10My voice, ice cold and emotionless.
07:13Marcus, immediately terminate the trust agreement,
07:16stop all resource allocation to Hunter Corporation
07:19and activate the asset isolation procedure my mother left behind.
07:25Miss Hunter, within 10 days,
07:2870 yard of Hunter Corporation shares will be officially transferred to you.
07:33Your mother had arrangements in place.
07:36I leaned back on the couch, memories flooding back.
07:39After mother's death, I locked myself in my room
07:42and refused to eat in protest.
07:45Victor fed me porridge, spoonful by spoonful, infinitely gentle.
07:51Emily, don't be afraid.
07:54Mom's watching us from heaven.
07:57I'll always be with you.
08:00Those words pulled me back from the brink
08:02and made me give him my whole heart.
08:04Only now do I understand how much calculation
08:07lay behind that tenderness.
08:10My phone suddenly buzzed with a notification.
08:13Victor and Isabella's intimate photos were trending,
08:17captioned,
08:17True love for life.
08:19Together forever.
08:20I stared angrily at the phone screen.
08:24On the phone screen,
08:26intimate photos kept appearing,
08:28one after another.
08:30Young Victor,
08:31kissing Isabella,
08:32on a yacht,
08:33holding her hand,
08:34through snowy landscapes.
08:36Each photo was captioned,
08:38beloved Isabella.
08:39The honeymoon rouse Victor and I had taken
08:42were identical to the places
08:44he'd once visited with Isabella.
08:48Sister,
08:49your honeymoon sweet sheets
08:50still have traces of Victor and me.
08:52Victor swears he holds you every night
08:55when he sleeps.
08:55Do you believe that?
08:56One phone call from me
08:58and he comes running.
09:00Her words made my stomach churn
09:02and I couldn't help but dry heave.
09:04Just then,
09:05the door opened.
09:06Victor entered,
09:08with a bowl of pumpkin soup,
09:09eyes full of concern.
09:12Baby,
09:13is the morning sickness getting worse again?
09:18I spent all afternoon
09:20learning to make this especially for you.
09:23Looking at his hypocritical smile,
09:25I felt only absurd irony.
09:28My eyes held no warmth,
09:29only warm chilling coldness.
09:34Baby,
09:36I spent all afternoon learning this
09:38from a gel-in chef.
09:40No matter how bad the morning sickness is,
09:43you need a couple spoonfuls for nutrition.
09:48You cancelled the European consortium merger meeting
09:51just to learn to make soup?
09:54For you and the baby,
09:57I can postpone any important matter.
10:01You're the most precious person to me.
10:04His eyes were full of expectation,
10:06waiting for me to throw myself into his arms.
10:09As before,
10:11moved by his thoughtfulness,
10:12but I just stared at his eyes,
10:14with undried tears.
10:16Seeing me unmoved,
10:18Victor was about to approach and comfort me.
10:20Victor's phone suddenly evaporated.
10:24The screen lit up with Bella Baby
10:27glaringly displayed,
10:29shattering the silence.
10:31Victor looked at me in panic.
10:35Victor frantically hung up the call
10:37and quickly hid his phone behind his back.
10:41Stam call.
10:42Don't mind it.
10:44Quick, drink the soup while it's hot.
10:47It won't taste good cold.
10:51Spam call?
10:54Let me see that phone.
10:57Thunder suddenly crashed outside,
10:59and I instinctively crawled under the covers.
11:02After meeting Victor,
11:04I thought I'd found my safe harbor.
11:06But now,
11:07tears couldn't help flowing.
11:09Victor immediately pulled me into his arms.
11:12Don't be afraid, I'm here.
11:15His embrace was still warm,
11:17but I felt ice cold all over.
11:20Just then,
11:20a servant rushed in frantically.
11:22Something's wrong.
11:23She's having a tantrum.
11:27Can't you see the missus isn't feeling well?
11:29Running around in such a panic!
11:32What kind of behavior is this?
11:35I'm coming right over!
11:37I watched his incoherent appearance,
11:40the coldness in her eyes intensifying.
11:44I didn't explode.
11:46I just watched him leave expressionlessly.
11:49As the door closed,
11:50all hypocrisy was shot out.
11:53Victor stood outside the door,
11:55hesitating for a moment,
11:56before ultimately picking up his phone,
11:58and hurrying downstairs,
12:00to drive away.
12:01He never looked back once,
12:03never even said sorry.
12:05I lay in bed,
12:06and after an unknown time,
12:07my phone suddenly received,
12:09real-time photos from Isabella.
12:13Messy sheets,
12:14Vitra's bare back,
12:16and a fuzzy hair tie,
12:17stained with unknown liquid.
12:19She showed off a chest tattoo,
12:21identical to Victor's.
12:23A final voice message arrived,
12:25breathing heavily,
12:26with satisfaction.
12:27Sister,
12:28Sister, look.
12:29Victor only has me in his heart.
12:32You and your unborn child are just obstacles to us,
12:36an unwanted bastard.
12:39I clutched my belly,
12:41protectively,
12:42trembling,
12:43uncontrollably.
12:44My phone screen showed another message,
12:47from an unknown number.
12:53I know your mother's death wasn't simple,
12:56and I can help you reclaim Hunter Corporation,
12:58and revenge against everyone who hurt you.
13:01Only one condition,
13:03let your unborn child take the thorn name.
13:05My pupils contracted sharply,
13:08suddenly remembering the sterilization certificate.
13:11My fingertips ice cold,
13:13I tremblingly dialed the unknown number.
13:16You sent me the sterilization certificate.
13:19Who are you?
13:21Why are you helping me?
13:24And why do you want my child to have the thorn name?
13:27Who I am doesn't matter.
13:29What matters is that I can make Victor,
13:33your father,
13:34and Morgrana pay the price they deserve.
13:38The call ended.
13:40I gripped my phone.
13:42Flashes of my mother's tragic death,
13:44flickering through my mind.
13:46My expression changed,
13:48from grief,
13:49to determination.
13:54The next day,
13:55the Willow Hall was decorated with lights,
13:58and a crowded with guests.
13:59Today was my birthday,
14:01and also,
14:02the anniversary,
14:03of my mother's death.
14:05But the hall was hung,
14:06with Morgana's portraits,
14:08not a trace of mother.
14:10Emily,
14:11don't blame Auntie.
14:13I just think this house should have a new look.
14:16Your mother wouldn't want you living forever in the shadow of the past.
14:23enough Morgana means well.
14:26Stop sulking.
14:28You're embarrassing the Hunter family.
14:32Guests whispered among themselves,
14:34some murmuring.
14:35Mrs. Hunter was driven to death,
14:37by Morgana back then.
14:38Now the mistress has taken over the main house.
14:41It's too much.
14:42Emily is so pitiful,
14:44having to endure this on her birthday.
14:46Just then,
14:47Victor walked in,
14:48with Isabella on his arm.
14:50Isabella wore my mother's coming-of-age gown.
14:53I was shocked.
14:54That's my mother's dress.
14:56How dare she?
15:02Take it off.
15:04That's my mother's relic.
15:07A vicious woman like you doesn't deserve to wear it.
15:12Sister,
15:13I didn't mean to.
15:15Victor said this gown looked beautiful on me,
15:17so I dared to wear it.
15:20I'm sorry.
15:22Emily,
15:22haven't you caused enough trouble?
15:24It's just an old dress.
15:26I'll have ten.
15:28A hundred custom made for you tomorrow.
15:31Stop being unreasonable.
15:33Isabella secretly smirked,
15:36deliberately tucking at the gown's neckline,
15:38pulling off the pearl buttons.
15:40They fell to the floor,
15:42and she deliberately crushed them with her heels,
15:45instantly shattering the pearls.
15:47I watched the crushed pearls on the floor,
15:50my mother's only keepsake,
15:52and rage instantly surged.
15:55I lunged forward.
16:01Just as I was about to touch Isabella's sleeve,
16:04Victor grabbed my shoulder,
16:06his grip so tight,
16:07it nearly crushed my bones.
16:09His eyes ice-cold and piercing.
16:11Victor was full of disappointment.
16:26Emily,
16:27the guests gasped,
16:28casting scornful looks,
16:30and whispering about me being spoiled,
16:32and tyrannical.
16:33Dad sternly scolding.
16:34Emily apologized to Isabella immediately.
16:37If your mother knew,
16:39she wouldn't allow you to be so spoiled,
16:42unreasonable,
16:43and jealous.
16:44The guests' discussions grew louder,
16:47some taking photos and videos,
16:49their eyes full of undisguised contempt,
16:51condemning me for being immature and intolerant.
16:55I looked at Victor's cold eyes,
16:57feeling the sharp pain in my shoulder.
16:59The last trace of tenderness and hope I had for him
17:02completely extinguished.
17:04A cold smile slowly crept across my lips.
17:11Isabella saw my cold smile,
17:13and the flash of malice crossed her eyes,
17:16her voice soft,
17:17but calculating.
17:18Sister,
17:19I know you're angry.
17:21Don't scare me.
17:22I'll take the gown off and return it to you right now.
17:28As she finished speaking,
17:30Isabella suddenly pushed hard,
17:32shoving me toward the metal handrail behind me,
17:35while she fell to the ground.
17:37Clutching her belly and screaming.
17:39Sister,
17:40why did you push me?
17:42I know you hate me,
17:44but the baby is innocent.
17:46If anything happens to my child,
17:48I'll never forgive you!
17:51My lower back slammed hard into the handrail,
17:54excruciating pain shooting through my entire body.
17:57Warm liquid seeped between my legs.
18:00My face turned deathly pale instantly.
18:02Victor and dad immediately rushed to help Isabella,
18:05showering her with concern,
18:08not sparing me even a glance.
18:13Emily,
18:14I've spoiled you too much.
18:15You need to reflect seriously.
18:17You're so malicious,
18:19you don't deserve to be a mother,
18:21much less stay by my side.
18:23From today on,
18:25you're not allowed near Bella.
18:27Stay in the villa and reflect.
18:29Without my permission,
18:31you can't leave or contact anyone.
18:34The group surrounded Isabella
18:36and hurried away to the hospital,
18:39leaving the banquet hall instantly empty,
18:41except for me.
18:42Blood between my legs increased,
18:45staining my dress
18:45and dripping to the floor.
18:47I tremblingly called the hospital,
18:50only to learn
18:50all my credit cards had been frozen.
18:53Looking at the true lovering
18:54rolling on the floor,
18:56I laughed through my tears.
18:58My phone screen slowly dinged
19:00as I collapsed weakly
19:02onto the cold floor.
19:03So this was what love meant.
19:05Training a canary in a golden cage.
19:09The luxury made me think
19:10I was a princess.
19:12But once I stopped being obedient,
19:14he cut off all escape routes,
19:16waiting for me to submit.
19:18I don't want this kind of love.
19:21A day later,
19:23I curled up
19:24in the attic corner,
19:25pale as paper.
19:27The abdominal pain
19:28never stopped.
19:29With no food or water around,
19:31I was too weak
19:32to even lift my hand.
19:34My phone suddenly buzzed
19:36with a notification
19:37from Isabella's social media.
19:39Intimate photos of her and Victor
19:41vacationing in the modifs.
19:44Captioned,
19:45With you and baby,
19:46life is perfect.
19:48Too bad some people
19:49don't even qualify for envy.
19:52Isabella also sent me
19:53a private message
19:54with a photo,
19:56Victor tenderly feeding her fruit.
19:58The background,
19:59their honeymoon suite.
20:01Identical to my honeymoon photos
20:02with Victor,
20:04dripping with mockery.
20:06I looked at the photo
20:07with eyes so cold,
20:09they held no emotion,
20:11no tears,
20:12only growing resolve
20:14in their depth.
20:15I slowly crawled up,
20:17reaching for my mother's necklace,
20:19hidden under the bed,
20:21gripping it tightly.
20:24I gripped my mother's necklace,
20:27the mysterious male voice
20:29suddenly flashing through my mind.
20:31Trembling,
20:32I dialed the unknown number.
20:34It was answered,
20:36after one ring.
20:39I know you're in danger right now.
20:41You're life at risk.
20:43My people are at the villa's back door.
20:45Follow him,
20:46I can save you and your child.
20:52Who are you?
20:54Why help me?
20:56And my mother's death?
20:59Was it related to my father,
21:01Victor and Morgrana?
21:03I'll tell you everything once you're safe.
21:06Right now,
21:08there's no time to hesitate.
21:11They've realized something's wrong
21:13and planned to eliminate you.
21:15The call ended.
21:17I heard light knocking
21:18at the villa's back door.
21:21Simultaneously,
21:22servants that had sent
21:23began ramming the attic door.
21:26Their voices,
21:27vicious.
21:30I used my last bit of strength
21:32to crawl toward the villa's back door.
21:35The knocking
21:35becoming more urgent.
21:37The attic door
21:38was already cracking.
21:40The servants
21:40would break through soon.
21:42I tremblingly
21:43opened the back door
21:44to see a man
21:45in a black suit
21:46with an upright posture.
21:48Miss Hunter,
21:49Mr. K sent me to get you.
21:51Hurry to the car.
21:53Any later
21:54will be too late.
21:55I was helped
21:57into the car
21:57by the bodyguard.
21:59As soon as it started,
22:00I saw Victor
22:01and dad
22:02chasing out
22:03with servants.
22:04Victor's face
22:05was frighteningly dark,
22:07angrily shouting
22:07for the driver
22:08to stop.
22:09His eyes
22:10full of panic.
22:11The car sped away.
22:12I leaned back
22:13in my seat,
22:14watching the villa,
22:15that cage
22:16that had imprisoned
22:17and hurt me
22:18grow distant.
22:20Tears fail,
22:21not from sadness,
22:22but from ultimate resolve.
22:27Mr. K wanted me
22:28to give you this.
22:31Hunter Corporation's
22:32share details.
22:37The board meeting
22:39in three days
22:39is your only chance
22:41to reclaim
22:42what belongs to you
22:43and begin your revenge.
22:52Ms. SS are being transferred.
22:55At the board meeting
22:56in three days,
22:57your father plans
22:57to sell your shares.
22:59Attend,
23:00and you can recover them.
23:02Fine.
23:02I'll definitely go.
23:06That evening,
23:07my phone
23:08buzzed with news.
23:09Isabella
23:10posted photos
23:11of her
23:12and Victor's marriage
23:13certificate,
23:14causing an internet explosion.
23:16So,
23:16Emily Hunter
23:17was the third party
23:18all along.
23:19Three minutes later,
23:21the post disappeared.
23:22Victor's calls
23:24kept coming.
23:26I looked at Victor
23:27on the screen,
23:28lost in memories.
23:30Thinking of all
23:31this false affection,
23:33I swiped to hang up
23:34without hesitation.
23:35The action
23:36was clean
23:37and decisive,
23:38with my assets
23:39frozen
23:40and penniless.
23:41I could only stumble
23:42into a nearby
23:43run-down community.
23:44Hospital.
23:49Is she a runaway?
23:50So pathetic.
23:52Before I could
23:53catch my breath,
23:54several pregnant women
23:55there for checkups
23:56recognized me
23:57and surrounded me.
23:59Their tones
23:59sharp
24:00and vicious.
24:02I hate
24:03home-wrecking sluts
24:04like you most!
24:05How dare you show up
24:06at the hospital
24:07for prenatal care?
24:08Get out
24:08before you bring
24:09bad luck!
24:12They pulled my hair
24:13through objects
24:14at me.
24:15I desperately
24:16protected my belly.
24:18Suddenly,
24:19a bucket of cold water
24:21poured over my head.
24:22I was soaked through,
24:24hair plastered
24:25to my face.
24:28Utterly wretched,
24:30the abdominal pain
24:31intensified
24:32until I nearly fainted.
24:33who is so vicious
24:34as to pursue
24:36a fallen woman
24:37to destruction.
24:42I endured
24:43the crowd's curses
24:44and mockery.
24:45Then,
24:46the phone rang
24:46Isabella.
24:48Emily,
24:49are you miserable?
24:51Desperate?
24:51Victor said that
24:52without him,
24:53you can barely survive.
24:54What a waste!
24:57I spoiled you
24:58for two years
24:59just to make you
25:00helpless.
25:01Waiting for you
25:02to come crawling back
25:03begging.
25:05Then I can control you
25:06however I want.
25:07I trembled
25:08with rage
25:09and despair,
25:10nails digging deep
25:11into my palms,
25:12drawing blood.
25:13Before I could
25:14utter a single word,
25:16the call was
25:16abruptly cut off,
25:17leaving nothing
25:18but hollow hung
25:19of the dial tone
25:20in my ear.
25:22The angry crowd
25:23became even more brazen.
25:25Someone raised
25:25a chair nearby,
25:27hurling it viciously
25:28at me.
25:29I have to teach
25:31you a lesson
25:32today!
25:37I braced myself
25:39as the chair
25:40flew toward me.
25:54Enough!
25:56Who dares touch
25:57Mr. K's person?
25:58Who dares call
25:59the Thorn family
26:00heir a bastard
26:01seeking death?
26:19Arrange a helicopter
26:20immediately
26:20to the Swiss
26:21private hospital.
26:22No mistakes.
26:23Protect my lady
26:24and child.
26:25Yeah.
26:31The only heir
26:32of the Thorn family
26:33deserves all the care
26:34in the world.
26:47Why are you saving me?
26:49We don't know each other
26:50yet you said
26:51my child is the
26:52Thorn family heir.
26:54Why?
26:55You sent the
26:56sterilization certificate
26:58too, didn't you?
27:04I don't know.
27:09I knew your mother
27:10years ago
27:11when I was at
27:12my lowest point
27:13near death
27:14she saved me.
27:15I promised her
27:16I'd protect you
27:16with everything I have
27:17never let you
27:18suffer harm.
27:22The person who
27:23saved you
27:24on that stormy night
27:25was that my mother?
27:28You're the boy
27:28she hid in the attic
27:29and cared for
27:30three months?
27:43Why are you saving me?
27:46We don't know each other
27:47yet you said
27:48my child is the
27:49Thorn family heir.
27:51Why?
27:52You sent the
27:53sterilization certificate
27:54too, didn't you?
28:05I knew your mother
28:07years ago
28:08when I was at
28:09my lowest point
28:09near death
28:10she saved me.
28:12I promised her
28:13I'd protect you
28:13with everything I have
28:14never let you
28:15suffer harm.
28:19The person who
28:20saved you
28:20on that stormy night
28:22was that my mother?
28:24You're the boy
28:25she hid in the attic
28:26and cared for
28:27three months?
28:40Meanwhile,
28:41at a Maldives
28:41private villa,
28:43Victor was sunbathing
28:43with Isabella,
28:44patiently soothing
28:45her tears
28:46while his face
28:46showed clear
28:47impatience beneath
28:47forced tenderness.
28:49Emily remained
28:50in his heart.
28:50Victor,
28:51stop worrying
28:52about that Emily,
28:53okay?
28:54When our baby's born,
28:55we'll have the
28:56grandest wedding
28:56and be together
28:57forever,
28:58okay?
28:58Just as Victor
28:59was about to
29:00comfort her,
29:00the butler rushed
29:01over,
29:02face pale,
29:02handing him a
29:03phone with a
29:03trembling voice.
29:04Mr. Victor,
29:05terrible news,
29:06the young miss,
29:07she's missing.
29:07The household servants
29:08say she was taken
29:09by a mysterious man.
29:10No trace found,
29:11even the surveillance
29:12was destroyed.
29:13Victor's face
29:13changed dramatically.
29:14He instantly
29:15lost patience,
29:16pushing Isabella
29:17away.
29:17His eyes panicked.
29:18Ashes of Emily's
29:19pale face at the
29:20birthday party.
29:21Desperate eyes,
29:22her bloodied figure
29:23filled his mind.
29:23Stay here and
29:24behave,
29:25or don't blame
29:26me for being
29:26heartsness.
29:27Isabella watched
29:28his hurried departure,
29:29malice flashing
29:30in her eyes.
29:31She secretly
29:31took out her phone,
29:33dialing a mysterious
29:34number with a
29:35sinister smile.
29:36Use every connection.
29:37Turn Los Angeles,
29:38no,
29:39all of America
29:39upside down.
29:40Dig to the center
29:40of the earth
29:41if necessary,
29:41but find Emily,
29:42whatever the cost,
29:43now,
29:44immediately.
29:44Isabella rushed
29:45in tearfully,
29:46desperately,
29:47grabbing his arm.
29:48She bullied me?
29:49She's so vicious,
29:50trying to harm
29:50our baby.
29:51Why find her?
29:52You dance to her,
29:53I'll die right
29:54in front of you.
29:54Victor violently
29:55shook off her hand,
29:56eyes ice cold
29:57with mocking smile.
29:59The first time
30:00he'd looked at Isabella
30:01with such cold disgust.
30:02Bullied you?
30:03Now I think you've
30:04been deceiving me
30:04these past two years.
30:05Those bullying incidents,
30:07all the grievances
30:07you complained about,
30:08they were all your act,
30:09weren't you?
30:09Emily is so kind,
30:11no could she hurt you
30:11and the baby.
30:12Is it because I didn't
30:13give you enough?
30:14Devious of eyes,
30:15he recalled all the
30:15past inconsistencies,
30:17how she always
30:17deliberately bad-mouthed I,
30:19how she'd accidentally
30:20feel unwell
30:21whenever he was
30:21close to I.
30:22His suspicions deepened,
30:24shaking his conviction
30:24for the first time.
30:26Looking at Isabella's
30:27instantly pale face
30:28and panicked,
30:29evasive eyes,
30:30she recalled
30:30the facile bandwath.
30:33Victor packed his bags
30:34to leave
30:35and search for me
30:36when Isabella
30:37suddenly rushed forward,
30:39desperately
30:40hugging his legs.
30:41I won't let you go.
30:43If you dare look for her,
30:45I'll expose everything.
30:47Our secret marriage
30:49registration,
30:50how I deliberately
30:52framed her as a mistress,
30:54forged evidence
30:55of her bullying me
30:56to the media.
30:58I'll destroy both
30:59the hunter
31:00and young families
31:02completely.
31:03Victor's eyes
31:04turned ice cold.
31:05He crouched down,
31:07grabbing her chin
31:08with almost bone,
31:09crushing force,
31:10eyes full of rage,
31:12regret,
31:12and disgust.
31:13You dare.
31:14Those rumors
31:15slanding Emily,
31:17making her hated online
31:18and misunderstood
31:20by everyone.
31:21They really came from you?
31:24Isabella,
31:25how vicious!
31:29You deceived me
31:30for two years,
31:31making me personally
31:33arm the person
31:34I love most!
31:35Isabella,
31:36nearly choking
31:37from his grip,
31:38face pale,
31:40stammered,
31:40incoherent.
31:41I didn't,
31:42I was just afraid
31:43of losing you.
31:44I didn't mean to.
31:47Please forgive me.
31:48Victor looked at her
31:49panic,
31:50excuse,
31:51filled state,
31:52guilt,
31:52and regret,
31:54flooding his heart.
31:55He finally realized
31:56how wrong he'd been.
31:58Mistaking fake for real.
31:59Personally pushing someone
32:01who truly cared
32:02into desperation.
32:03At the Swiss private hospital,
32:05I slowly awakened.
32:06The room was warmly
32:07and luxuriously decorated
32:08with careful attention detail.
32:10K-Thon sat bedside
32:11holding warm water,
32:13looking at me
32:13with gentle worried eyes.
32:14Awake?
32:15Don't worry.
32:16The baby's fine and healthy.
32:18You were just too weak
32:19from blood loss.
32:20Rest well
32:21and you'll recover.
32:21I've had nourishing soup prepared.
32:24Drink some later.
32:26I looked at him
32:27with confused
32:28but moved eyes,
32:29still compelled
32:30to ask the question
32:31burning in my heart.
32:35Who are you really?
32:36Did my mother
32:37truly save you?
32:39Is my mother's death
32:41connected to my father
32:43and Victor?
32:44Why do you keep helping me?
32:47K-Thorn set down
32:48the water glass
32:49and took my hand.
32:51I'm K-Thorn.
32:53Your mother did save me
32:54and taught me much.
32:56She's the person
32:57I most respect
32:58and am grateful to
32:59in this life.
33:00I promised her.
33:04I'd protect you
33:05no matter what.
33:08He pulled out
33:09an agreement
33:09from the drawer,
33:11placing it before me
33:13with grave seriousness.
33:14This agreement
33:15I've drafted.
33:16If you sign it,
33:18after your child is born,
33:20they'll have the status
33:21of the Thorn family's
33:22sole heir.
33:25I'll give you
33:26and your daughter
33:27the world's best
33:28protection and honor.
33:30Help you uncover
33:31your mother's death.
33:33Help you reclaim
33:34what belongs to you
33:35and make everyone
33:37who hurt you
33:39both pay the price.
33:41thinking of his
33:42repeated rescues
33:43during my darkest moments
33:45and my unborn child.
33:47I fell into deep,
33:49though.
33:52Roar my child?
33:53Shall I believe him?
33:55We develop the K-Thorn
33:57different Genshin?
34:00Victor arrived in Switzerland
34:02using all his connections
34:04and resources,
34:05even marketing
34:06some of his assets.
34:07But K-Thorn's influence
34:09was too powerful.
34:10All of Switzerland
34:11was sealed off
34:11by his people.
34:12Victor couldn't even
34:13find my hospital,
34:14much less see me,
34:15lacking even the
34:16qualification to approach.
34:18Just as he was
34:18desperate and near breakdown,
34:20his assistant's
34:21panic call came through.
34:23Mr. Young,
34:24disaster.
34:25Isabella leaked
34:26everything about
34:27your marriage
34:27registration
34:28and her framing
34:29of Miss Emily
34:30to the media.
34:31The entire internet
34:32is calling you
34:33a scumbag
34:34and her manipulative
34:35while apologizing
34:36to Miss Emily.
34:37Hunter Corporation's
34:38stock is plummeting.
34:40Useless!
34:41Control, Isabella,
34:43don't let her say
34:43another word!
34:44If Emily suffers
34:45greater harm
34:46because of this,
34:47I won't spare
34:48any of you!
34:49He knew another
34:50insurmountable chasm
34:51that opened
34:52between him
34:52and me.
34:53He'd personally
34:54harmed me
34:55and destroyed
34:56his chance
34:56to make amends
34:57the hospital.
34:58I sat in bed
34:59watching the news,
35:00saying online
35:01apologies to me.
35:02Condemnation
35:03of Isabella
35:04and Victor
35:05and Hunter
35:06corporations
35:07plummeting
35:08stock prices.
35:09I'll sign.
35:11I have to go back
35:11for the board meeting
35:12in three days.
35:13I'll reclaim
35:14what belonged
35:15to my mother,
35:16uncover her death,
35:18and make everyone
35:19who hurt us
35:20pay the most
35:21painful price.
35:22Not one will escape.
35:24Kaythorne saw
35:25the resolve
35:25and sharpness
35:26in my eyes,
35:27gently gripping
35:28my hand
35:28with firm assurance.
35:30Good.
35:30I'll accompany you
35:31back.
35:32Whatever happens,
35:33I'll be by your side
35:35as your strongest support.
35:36No one will dare
35:37bully you
35:38and your child again.
35:39I'll shield you
35:40from every storm.
35:42I took out
35:43my mother's necklace,
35:45gently cavasting it,
35:46eyes full of determination.
35:48All past pain
35:50and vulnerability
35:50transformed
35:51into power
35:52for revenge.
35:53Mom,
35:54this time,
35:54I won't lose again.
35:56Outside the hospital,
35:57Victor kept vigil,
35:58not eating or drinking,
36:00disheveled with messy hair
36:01and bloodshot eyes.
36:02His assistant
36:03repeatedly urged him
36:04to give up,
36:05but he refused to leave,
36:06eyes firmly fixed
36:07on the hospital room direction,
36:09as if willing
36:10to wait forever.
36:11The hospital,
36:12I sat in bed
36:13watching the news,
36:14seeing online

36:37Kay Thorne saw the resolve
36:39and sharpness in my eyes,
36:40gently gripping my hand
36:42with firm assurance.
36:43Good.
36:44I'll accompany you back.

36:56I took out
36:57my mother's necklace,
36:58gently cavasting it,
37:00eyes full of determination.
37:02All past pain
37:03and vulnerability
37:04transformed into
37:05power for revenge.
37:07Mom,
37:07this time,
37:08I won't lose again.
37:09Outside the hospital,
37:10Victor kept vigil,
37:12not eating or drinking,
37:13disheveled with messy hair,
37:14and bloodshot eyes.
37:16His assistant
37:16repeatedly urged him
37:18to give up,
37:18but he refused to leave,
37:20eyes firmly fixed
37:21on the hospital room direction,
37:23as if willing
37:23to wait forever.
37:24Victor finally found
37:25my hospital location.
37:27Despite bodyguard resistance,
37:29he desperately broke in.
37:31Here,
37:31drink some water.
37:32It'll make you feel better.
37:33Only to see Kay Thorne
37:34by my side,
37:35tenderly helping
37:36my drink water.
37:39Emily,
37:40I know you suffered greatly.
37:41Please forgive me.
37:42I'll do anything
37:43to make amends
37:44for you and our child.
37:46I turning away,
37:47voice ice cold.
37:49Mr. Yang,
37:51our relationship ended
37:52when you signed
37:53the custody waiver
37:55and personally pushed me
37:57into desperation.
38:00You didn't wrong me.
38:02You wronged your own conscience.
38:08Please leave.
38:09Don't disturb her recovery,
38:11or I can't guarantee
38:12what I'll do to you.
38:14Victor looked at Kay Thorne's
38:16protective stance
38:17and my resolute eyes,
38:18tears flowing freely,
38:20overwhelmed by guilt and regret,
38:22but unable to speak.
38:24Isabella escaped
38:25Victor's assistance control,
38:27secretly buying a ticket
38:29to Switzerland.
38:30If I couldn't have Victor,
38:32I wouldn't let Emily either.
38:34She planned
38:35to personally kill me
38:36and my unborn child.
38:38Isabella hid outside
38:39the hospital room,
38:40staring at me inside
38:42with a sinister,
38:43mad smile
38:44and murderous eyes.
38:46She secretly produced
38:47a prepared syringe
38:48containing a substance
38:50that could cause
38:50miscarriage
38:51and unconsciousness.
38:53Slipping past the guards
38:54and quietly opening
38:56the room door,
38:57moving stealthily
38:58toward me
38:59with vicious eyes.
39:01Kay Thorne
39:02was turned away
39:02getting supplements
39:03for me.
39:04not noticing
39:05the danger behind him.
39:07I focused
39:08on reading the agreement,
39:10completely
39:10unaware
39:11of approaching peril.
39:13Just as Isabella
39:14reached my bedside,
39:15ready to strike.
39:16Kay Thorne's bodyguard
39:18burst in,
39:18catching her.
39:20The syringe fell
39:22and shattered.
39:24Unknown liquid splashing
39:25with a pangent smell.
39:27Victor, hearing the commotion,
39:28rushed in
39:29to see Isabella
39:30caught by the bodyguard
39:31and the broken syringe.
39:32Instantly enraged,
39:34he grabbed her collar.
39:35You dare come here
39:36to harm her?
39:37You poisonous woman.
39:38I was blind
39:39to be deceived
39:40by you all these years.
39:43I wanted her dead
39:44her and her bastard.
39:46I was never
39:48bullied by you.
39:49Those grievances,
39:51those tears
39:51were all lies
39:52to deceive you.
39:54Five years ago,
39:56I deliberately
39:57acted pitiful,
39:58using your sister's death
39:59to whorder your sympathy,
40:01making you always
40:02protect me
40:03and feel guilty.
40:04Just waiting
40:05for the day
40:06I could replace Emily
40:07as the Hunter family's
40:08young mistress
40:08and steal everything
40:09she had.
40:10And that drunken night,
40:12you never forced me.
40:14I deliberately
40:14clung to you,
40:16intentionally calling
40:17Emily's name
40:18to make you
40:18misunderstand her
40:19and dripped apart
40:20from her
40:21to make you
40:21completely side with me.
40:24The child in my belly
40:26isn't even yours.
40:28I made a wrong choice
40:29to get pregnant
40:30just to tie you down.
40:32Victor froze completely,
40:34utterly stunned.
40:35He staggered back,
40:36eyes vacant,
40:37repeatedly murmuring,
40:39Not mine,
40:40not mine.
40:41I was so thoroughly deceived.
40:44Emily,
40:45I really didn't know.
40:47I was wrong.
40:48I shouldn't have been
40:49blinded by her.
40:51Give me another chance,
40:52please.
40:54Do you think
40:55this excuses
40:55all your wrong?
40:57The harm you caused me
40:58and my mother
40:59can't be undone
41:00with I was wrong.
41:06police,
41:07someone here
41:08attempted murder.
41:09Please come
41:10take her away.
41:16Victor!
41:17Victor,
41:18help me!
41:23Emily,
41:25I'm gonna get
41:25revenge on you!
41:27After Isabella
41:28was taken away,
41:29only Kay Thorne,
41:31Victor and I
41:31remained in the hospital room.
41:33The atmosphere,
41:34heavy and oppressive.
41:36Emily,
41:36I know I'm deeply sinful.
41:38I don't ask for forgiveness.
41:40I only ask to stay by your side,
41:42silently protecting you
41:43and our child.
41:44He said,
41:45he loved me,
41:46but all I heard
41:47were lies.
41:49It's up to you
41:50to decide.
41:51I will support you.
41:53No matter what you choose,
41:54I will be here with you.
41:57We can no longer
41:58go back to the past.
42:00You don't have to
42:01keep trying to make it up
42:03or keep disturbing me.
42:05You hurt me,
42:07that's fact,
42:07but I won't be bound
42:09by the past either.
42:11Take care of yourself.
42:14From now on,
42:15we owe each other nothing.
42:17Live well.
42:20He sat down slowly
42:21on the floor,
42:22his eyes a little moist.
42:24I knew she might not
42:25forgive me.
42:26I had already missed
42:28the chance to make it right.
42:30I and Kay Thorne
42:32packed to return
42:32to Los Angeles,
42:34preparing for the board meeting
42:35in three days
42:35to reclaim what belonged to her.
42:37Victor didn't pursue further,
42:38only quietly following
42:39from the disks,
42:40silently protecting them
42:41without daring to approach.
42:44Meanwhile,
42:45my father learned
42:46of Isabella's arrest
42:47and exposed lies,
42:48and that I was returning
42:49for the board meeting.
42:50He panicked completely,
42:51knowing I returned
42:53meant investigating
42:53my mother's death,
42:55seeking revenge against me,
42:56and reclaiming
42:57Hunter Corporation.
42:58Dad immediately contacted
43:00previously negotiated buyers,
43:02wanting to sell his shares early,
43:04take the money,
43:05and flee Los Angeles forever.
43:08Marcus,
43:08the lawyer's urgent call
43:10came through.
43:14Miss Hunter,
43:15disaster.
43:16Your father plans
43:17to complete the transaction
43:18early with buyers,
43:20selling his shares.
43:29If he succeeds,
43:30reclaiming the corporation
43:31later will be
43:32much more difficult.
43:33We must reach the company
43:34quickly to stop him.
43:36Don't worry.
43:37I won't let him succeed.
43:39Hunter Corporation,
43:42should be mine.
43:44What my mother
43:45protected with her life.
43:47I won't let him
43:48sell it easily,
43:49much less let him
43:50escape with the money.
43:58Just then,
43:59Victor blocked our car,
44:00handing over a document
44:01with humble yet determined eyes.
44:03What is this document?
44:05Why is Victor blocking them?
44:07Does he want to continue
44:08making amends,
44:09or does he have
44:09other motives?
44:12This is an agreement
44:13where I've
44:14mortgaged all my assets
44:15to acquire the shares
44:16your father's
44:17father plans to sell.
44:20I know I don't
44:21deserve to help you,
44:22and I know you won't
44:23forgive me,
44:23but I want to help.
44:25Just give me one chance
44:26to make amends.
44:27Even a little,
44:28even if you still
44:29won't acknowledge me.
44:31I'll be content.
44:33No need.
44:34I can solve
44:35my own problems.
44:36I don't need
44:37your amends or help.
44:38We owe each other
44:39nothing.
44:40Please move aside.
44:41Don't delay us.
44:42Please move aside.
44:45The board meeting
44:46starts soon.
44:48Don't delay us,
44:50or I won't be polite.
44:52I know I don't deserve it,
44:53but I want to help you.
44:55Even just watching you
44:56reclaim what belongs to you,
44:58even just helping you
44:59avoid a little trouble,
45:00I'd be satisfied.
45:02Emily,
45:02just give me one chance,
45:03please.
45:04I looked at him,
45:05a flash of complex emotion
45:07in my eyes,
45:08quickly returning
45:09to coldness,
45:10falling into thought.
45:18Hunter Corporation
45:19boardroom,
45:20the share auction
45:21preceded as scheduled.
45:22My father stood on stage
45:24triumphantly,
45:25face full of greed,
45:27looking at the buyers
45:27below with an arrogant tone.
45:29Everyone,
45:30I hold 20 Phaeton
45:31of Hunter Corporation shares.
45:32Today, highest bidder wins.
45:34Whoever offers most
45:35can control
45:35Hunter Corporation's foundation.
45:37Don't miss this opportunity.
45:39Start bidding.
45:40Buyers competed
45:41with rising prices.
45:42That smile grew brighter,
45:44already envisioning his escape
45:46with the money
45:47for comfortable retirement.
45:49Just then,
45:50the boardroom door opened.
45:51I entered arming arm
45:53with Kthorn,
45:54wearing a sharp business suit
45:56with ice-cold eyes
45:57and commanding presence,
45:59instantly drawing all attention
46:01and silencing the room.
46:04Father,
46:05you seem to have forgotten.
46:07These shares never belong to you.
46:09You have no right to sell them.
46:12Emily,
46:14how did you get back?
46:15You have no authority here.
46:17These shares are in my hands now.
46:19I can sell them if I want.
46:20It's not your place to interfere.
46:22What evidence
46:23will Emily present
46:25to expose her father's
46:26conspiracy
46:27and reclaim the shares?
46:28Marcus,
46:29Marcus the lawyer,
46:30followed closely,
46:31entering with the document,
46:33walking to the boardroom center
46:35and announcing sullenly,
46:36Everyone,
46:37please listen.
46:38This is the will of Mrs. Hunter,
46:40Emily's mother.
46:41It clearly states
46:42that all Hunter Corporation shares
46:44belong entirely to Miss Emily.
46:45Mr. Hunter rights,
46:46not disposal rights,
46:47much less authority
46:48to sell the share.
46:49Impossible!
46:50The will is fake!
46:52You forged it!
46:54I already mortgaged the shares!
46:56I have the right to sell them!
46:59Just then,
47:00Victor entered
47:01with a document,
47:02eyes determined,
47:03voice calm.
47:05The shares you mortgaged,
47:06I've already acquired them all.
47:08Now I'm returning them to Emily
47:09where they belong.
47:10I know I was wrong before.
47:14This is the only thing
47:15I can do for her.
47:17Richard,
47:17you can't lose.
47:19We still need to retire
47:20comfortably in Australia.
47:23We can't be arrested.
47:25Think of something.
47:27Hmph.
47:28Comfortable retirement?
47:30You hurt my mother,
47:31schemed against me,
47:32stole everything from her.
47:34It's time to settle these accounts.
47:38I presented the evidence,
47:40projecting it on the screen proof
47:42of Dad and Morgana's affair.
47:45Recordings of driving Mother to death.
47:47Everyone gasped,
47:49condemning Dad and Morgana,
47:50who turned pale
47:51and looked wretched.
47:54Contact Immigration
47:55to revoke their American citizenship
47:57and filed charges
47:59to pursue legal zurin.
48:02Emily!
48:04You can't do this!
48:06We're your family!
48:09We're your family!
48:10From the moment you drove my mother to death,
48:13we stopped being family.
48:17Police arrested Dad and Morgana
48:19for suspected murder
48:21as a transfer
48:22and other charges.
48:24I know I don't deserve it,
48:27but I still want to tell you,
48:30I've always loved only you.
48:33I know,
48:34but we're impossible now.
48:37Take care of yourself.
48:39Victor nodded and left,
48:41eyes full of regret,
48:43but finally at peace.
48:46It's all over.
48:49From now on,
48:50I'll accompany you
48:52and the child to live well.
48:55Three months later,
48:56I successfully gave birth
48:58to a daughter
48:58and became the joint leader
49:00of Hunter Corporation
49:02and Thorn Corporation.
49:03In the villa garden,
49:05I held my daughter
49:06while Kay stayed beside me,
49:08sunlight falling on us.
49:09The daughter babbled,
49:11reaching for Kay's hair.
49:13Kay smiled gently
49:14with doting eyes.
49:16Kay said with a smile,
49:17eyes full of tenderness.
49:19From today on,
49:22I'm your and our daughter's
49:23personal servant.
49:24I leaned in his arms,
49:26looking at our daughter's
49:27peaceful sleeping face,
49:28a gentle smile
49:30playing on my lips.
49:31No,
49:32this is a new beginning.
49:34I was no longer
49:35anyone's canary.
49:37I could be our daughter's mother,
49:39Kay's wife.
49:40But most importantly,
49:42I was the master
49:43of my own destiny.
49:45This life
49:46was just beginning.
49:48The sunlight was perfect.
49:49And the pain of the past
49:51had faded like clouds.
49:53My eyes were determined.
49:55I had finally become
49:56the master of my own fate.
