Short filmTranscript
00:00:00On the day my husband gave me $3 million as a divorce settlement, I laughed because he had just spent
00:00:05$300 million on his mistress.
00:00:07And what he really didn't know was that the miracle doctor first love he pined for had never even held
00:00:13a scalpel.
00:00:13I signed the papers, walked away, and then cut off his entire supply chain.
00:00:17One week later, his company was on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:00:19His first love was being exposed and torn apart across the internet, and his own grandmother personally called to beg
00:00:23me to come back.
00:00:23As for me, I was sitting in the private villa of the most terrifying man in the city, Jasper Russell,
00:00:28drinking the red wine.
00:00:28I had the anniversary dinner perfectly set when he walked in, acting as if it were just another night.
00:00:36Carrie, you're home. I made all your favorites for our anniversary.
00:00:40Quite a feast. Did something happen?
00:00:43You didn't forget, did you? The sapphire earrings. I saw the auction. They're for me, aren't they?
00:00:49How do you know about those?
00:00:52They're for Esme.
00:00:59Esme?
00:01:00She's finally agreed to return to me. I needed something special to welcome her back.
00:01:05The woman who abandoned you? The one who caused the accident that blinded you?
00:01:09You know nothing! Esme wasn't to blame! She's the one who saved my sight!
00:01:14What are you saying?
00:01:15She arranged my surgeries in secret. She was Professor Mitchell's last apprentice, the only one who could have done it.
00:01:20Then what are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be celebrating with her?
00:01:23He didn't just bring home news of another woman. He pulled out divorce papers. Already prepared.
00:01:29Review them. Sign. I've wasted enough time. I won't make Esme wait anymore.
00:01:33300 million for the woman who almost destroyed you. And a pleeply 3 million for the wife who saved you.
00:01:39He expected me to plead. To cry. But I just picked up the pen and signed my name.
00:01:46You're... signing? Just like that?
00:01:53It's done. But Carolee, you'd better not regret your choice.
00:02:00You accepted the settlement. Now you explain the divorce to Grandma.
00:02:05I'm not explaining anything. Aren't you madly in love with Esme? Can't you even muster the courage to face your
00:02:11own grandmother?
00:02:12For three years, I cared for him when he was blind. A substitute rive paying a debt.
00:02:18Now, my freedom had finally arrived. I genuinely hope your perfect fairy tale lasts forever.
00:02:26Evelana! I heard you're divorcing my brother! That car is Gibson family property! You can't take it!
00:02:32I paid for this car myself. Honestly, Marga, you're just as brazen as Carrie.
00:02:38What's happening here?
00:02:40Carrie, she's taking the car! And I was planning to use it!
00:02:44Evelina, hand over the keys to Margo.
00:02:50Absolutely not. Why should I?
00:02:53As Margo lunged for the keys, I tossed my old suitcase into the car, followed by a handful of lit
00:02:59firecrackers.
00:03:00Are you insane?
00:03:04The car is yours now. I don't want it.
00:03:06Well, if it isn't the real Queen Evelina herself!
00:03:09I couldn't tell if I'd attended your wedding or your funeral three years ago.
00:03:13Finally done with that blind fool? Good! We need to stock up on fireworks to celebrate.
00:03:19You're too late.
00:03:21Just then, an explosive bang split the night as the car erupted into flame.
00:03:27How's that for a farewell gift?
00:03:30There she is! Queen Evelana is finally back!
00:03:35Let's party another day. I just desperately need sleep.
00:03:42But inside the villa, my departure was still causing chaos.
00:03:47She nearly scared me to death! She destroyed our car! Carrie, you have to do something!
00:03:52That's enough! Is this childish tantrum how a Gibson should behave?
00:03:56You're scolding me over that woman? Wait until I tell Esma!
00:04:00Don't talk nonsense.
00:04:05Have you forgotten Jasper Russell is arriving soon?
00:04:08If Esa successfully heals Miss Russell's eyesight, become indispensable to the Russell family!
00:04:14Even Grandma will have to accept her!
00:04:17And if you assist Esma, perhaps Jasper himself will notice you.
00:04:23The powerful Russell family is in town searching for the sight waver.
00:04:27Their granddaughter is blind. Demi swore she would never expose me. Don't worry.
00:04:36You must be Miss Russell!
00:04:38Welcome! You look absolutely extraordinary.
00:04:40Margot, perhaps you should get your eyes checked.
00:04:44It's... you?
00:04:49Carrie, darling. It's your ex-wife.
00:04:52You should say hello.
00:04:53It must have been so challenging for an orphan like her to follow you all this way.
00:04:58Where did you get the money for that dress?
00:05:00Did you drain Carrie's accounts?
00:05:04You look like a tramp trying to win him back!
00:05:07I'll rip that smug face of yours apart!
00:05:10Miss Gibson, please! This is not appropriate behavior.
00:05:14Keep going. I'm recording this for Jasper Russell. Let's show him how refined you are.
00:05:20You wouldn't dare!
00:05:22Esma, protect me!
00:05:24We'll be family soon. You have to defend me from her!
00:05:30Since when do outsiders dictate the rules in this house?
00:05:34Oh, Evelina. It's not your fault you have no manners.
00:05:37You didn't have parents to teach you.
00:05:46If you think causing trouble will win you points, you're mistaken.
00:05:52It's pathetic.
00:05:55Apologize to Esme right now.
00:05:57Maybe fix your own judgment before trying to lecture me.
00:06:11Evie, my dear girl. You've endured so much.
00:06:15Don't worry, Demi. Are your joints troubling you again in this chilly weather?
00:06:19Same old pain. That foolish grandson of mine. Blindly letting go of such a gem.
00:06:26It's all right, Demi.
00:06:28Evie, sweetheart. Just once more. Can you give Callie another chance for my sake?
00:06:33I waited three long years for him to see me. He never did. Another chance won't change anything.
00:06:39Suddenly, the tense silence was bashered.
00:06:46My dress! It's ruined!
00:06:49What was that about, Grandma?
00:06:50How dare you ask! Without this woman, would you have had your accident? Would you have lost your sight?
00:06:56I've said it countless times. Esme wasn't responsible for that.
00:07:01Evelina, have you been whispering lies to Grandma again?
00:07:05Of course it's her. That orphan would do anything to cling to this family.
00:07:11She's despicable. Enough!
00:07:15Evelina is the granddaughter-in-law I chose. Are you challenging my authority?
00:07:19You simply don't want me to leave Evelina, but Esme is the one I love. She is my only future.
00:07:29Excellent. Marvellous.
00:07:33Then let me be clear. Divorce Evelina, and you surrender 10% of your Gibson shares to her.
00:07:40Grandma, you can't mean that!
00:07:41And Esme? She will never set foot inside this household again while I'm alive.
00:07:48I have spoken. Defy me, Carly, and you forfeit your place as a Gibson.
00:07:58Grandma shares for her? She's a parentless orphan!
00:08:01Silence, Margot!
00:08:02Demi, Carly is your own grandson.
00:08:05I have other grandsons. Let's see how far his love gets him when he's penniless.
00:08:10Are you satisfied now, Evelina? You've turned my own grandmother against me.
00:08:13I was just trying to keep Grandma calm. Her heart is weak, and these vultures would be the death of
00:08:18her.
00:08:19Ma'am! Mr. Russell, he's here.
00:08:24Evelina, we have an important guest. You should leave through the back.
00:08:28Actually, Callie and I are still legally married. I belong here.
00:08:32But Miss Barton, she's just the mistress.
00:08:36It's hardly appropriate for her to greet a respected visitor.
00:08:39How dare you!
00:08:41Mr. Russell is here for Esme. She's the sight walker, the one who cured my blindness.
00:08:45He was so proud, so blind to the obvious.
00:08:47He was defending a lie with the passion of a knight, defending his queen.
00:08:49The who? She cured your blindness?
00:08:51Yes. She was personally trained by Professor Landon Mitchell.
00:08:54At that moment, I finally understood why Grandma had given up on him.
00:08:57He was a fool.
00:08:59Seems I've arrived at the perfect moment.
00:09:01He walked right past my mother-in-law, ignoring her fanging, and stopped directly in front of Esme.
00:09:06You are the renowned sight-wilder?
00:09:09I... my dress is stained. I must go change immediately.
00:09:13Running away, Miss Barton? Is it because you're not really Professor Mitchell's student?
00:09:17That's nonsense! I studied with him while you were at home folding Carrie's clothes!
00:09:23Oh, then you must know. How many surgeries did it take to restore Carrie's vision?
00:09:29Three. Obviously.
00:09:31I performed them myself.
00:09:33It was four.
00:09:35Right! Four! Of course it was four!
00:09:38So which is it, Esme? Three? Or four?
00:09:47There have been so many surgeries. I honestly can't recall each one.
00:09:51A surgeon who forgets her own procedures?
00:09:54You're an imposter. How about a little waiter?
00:09:57Who are you to challenge Esma?
00:09:58Margaret, silence.
00:10:00Well, Miss Barton, if your claims are legitimate, this shouldn't faze you.
00:10:05Fine. I accept your ridiculous bet. You're just desperate to win Carrie back, aren't you?
00:10:11Pathetic.
00:10:13Here's the bet. Prove you can restore Flory Russell's sight.
00:10:19Enough of your slander! Esme reviewed Flory's records and assured me she can treat her!
00:10:23But Evelina was unmoved by his fury.
00:10:25Wonderful. Then if you fail, you'll apologize publicly at Professor Mitchell's grave and confess your deception to the world.
00:10:30You'll do anything to tarnish her. What if she succeeds?
00:10:33Then I'll openly admit my error for everyone to see.
00:10:36Not good enough! If Esme wins, you'll vanish from my brother's life forever!
00:10:40Agreed.
00:10:42Sir, would you witness our bet?
00:10:44Certainly.
00:10:45He agreed without hesitation, his voice carrying the weight of his family's name.
00:10:49With a credible witness, no one can wriggle out of this.
00:10:51His agreement sealed the pact. There was no escape now.
00:10:54Who exactly are you accusing Evelina?
00:10:55Enough! Esme, remember your place!
00:10:58I have other matters to attend to.
00:11:00Miss Barton, you claimed you can treat my niece.
00:11:03The first operation is in one week.
00:11:06One week? I might need more preparation time.
00:11:09That's your concern, not mine. Just ensure your success.
00:11:16Daughter, some dignity.
00:11:18Humiliation and resentment flashed across Allura's face.
00:11:21The grand living room felt cold and empty, filled only with the bitter silence of defeat and scheming.
00:11:26Well, did you see Jasper Russell? Is he as ridiculously attractive as they say?
00:11:30Unfortunately, no. The man who showed up today was just an assistant.
00:11:33Predictable. Does Margot honestly believe she'll marry into the Russell family?
00:11:37The last woman who chased Jasper had her entire...
00:11:39I know. The man is notoriously ruthless.
00:11:42Anyway, my queen, I've signed some new talent.
00:11:44Mind coming by to take a look?
00:11:46Sure. I'll be there.
00:11:48Sir, Esme Barton is hiding something.
00:11:49But Carly Gibson's soon-to-be ex-wife Evelina Marsh, she seems certain Esme is a fraud.
00:11:52Soon to be getting a divorce?
00:11:53Yes, in progress. But Carrie is openly flaunting his relationship with Esme.
00:11:57Disgusting.
00:11:57All of Carly's eye surgeries happened after he married Evelina.
00:11:59She must be connected to the genuine site.
00:12:00Keep a close watch on her, and find whatever means necessary to unearth the truth.
00:12:03We're still influential! Why shouldn't I have a shot at him?
00:12:06Why does everyone treat me like I'm not good enough?
00:12:09Margot, can't you see what's really happening here?
00:12:11Do you really think Evelina showed up today dressed like that just to irritate Carrie?
00:12:16What do you mean? Did you notice something?
00:12:18It's quite possible the butler tipped Evlana off about Mr. Russell's visit.
00:12:21You mean, she's after Jasper?
00:12:22How dare that trap try to seduce another man right under our noses!
00:12:25She lost Carly to me, so she's desperately looking for her next target.
00:12:28While Mr. Russell would never marry her, it won't stop her from trying to seduce him.
00:12:31She wouldn't dare!
00:12:32Margot, sometimes it only takes one night.
00:12:35If she manages that, she'll be set for life.
00:12:37Didn't your friend Hayden Reed mention he knows some...hired thugs?
00:12:44Hayden, you've been begging me for a date.
00:12:46Do one thing for me first.
00:12:49Get rid of someone.
00:12:53Your Majesty, we've arrived!
00:12:55The famous Dusk Lounge!
00:12:56Isn't this Carrie's favorite Hav?
00:12:58I thought we were scouting talent?
00:13:00Exactly.
00:13:00And I have a fun little game for you tonight.
00:13:02You're not ditching me?
00:13:08I've got a hundred candidates performing.
00:13:10See someone you like?
00:13:11Toss him a rose.
00:13:12You have ten bright red ones.
00:13:14The man who gets one from you receives a top-place contract.
00:13:18A hundred men?
00:13:20Are you running a beauty contest?
00:13:21The idea was absurd.
00:13:22A ridiculous game only Christina could devise.
00:13:25The perks of royalty.
00:13:33As I came out, I ran right into the last two people I wanted to see.
00:13:38See that, Carrie?
00:13:38I told you she's shameless.
00:13:40Look how she's dressed, desperate for attention.
00:13:42Margot's voice dripped with venom, her words meant to cut deep.
00:13:47That's your target, Hayden?
00:13:48She's just an orphan.
00:13:50No one will miss her.
00:13:53Is this really how low you've sunk?
00:13:55Coming here dressed like that?
00:13:56Do you have no shame?
00:13:59We're no longer married, Carly.
00:14:01You have no right to comment.
00:14:02I turned to walk away.
00:14:04But he wasn't finished.
00:14:09Who gave you these roses?
00:14:11Which man?
00:14:18Margot's shriek was just noise.
00:14:24You.
00:14:24I saw you at the end of the group.
00:14:26I've been looking for someone like you all night.
00:14:29These roses are yours.
00:14:30All ten of them.
00:14:31You're my choice.
00:14:32He didn't seem surprised, only intrigued.
00:14:35His gaze met mine, a slow, magnetic smile playing on his lips.
00:14:40Are you certain about this?
00:14:42Don't hold back, Rising Star.
00:14:50With a face like that, you're destined for the spotlight.
00:14:55Stop this now.
00:14:58Sir, my apologies.
00:15:00She's had too much to drink.
00:15:01I am not drunk.
00:15:03Release me.
00:15:04We're divorced, remember?
00:15:15Evelana!
00:15:17Are you flirting with another man right in front of me?
00:15:20Is this your pathetic, tenetic attempt to get my attention?
00:15:24You're acting like a spoiled child.
00:15:29Are you finished?
00:15:31I'm eager to get some rest, and don't flatter yourself.
00:15:36I have never to.
00:15:39Fine!
00:15:40Tomorrow at eight, the courthouse.
00:15:42We finalize this.
00:15:43Don't be late.
00:15:46Of Kory was sweet.
00:15:48If you're late, you'll be barking like a dog for me.
00:16:02You secured her?
00:16:07Excellent, Hayden.
00:16:08This will count in your favor.
00:16:11Secured who?
00:16:15Carly?
00:16:16What are you doing back here?
00:16:18I was looking for you.
00:16:23Keep your distance from Hayden Reed.
00:16:25He's bad news.
00:16:29He reminded her of her place, of the chains that came with the courting a crown.
00:16:32She played her part perfectly.
00:16:34I know, I know.
00:16:35I'll be good.
00:16:35He left, satisfied for now.
00:16:37But the serpent remained in his garden.
00:16:39Evelina won't escape this time.
00:16:41No one is coming to rescue her.
00:16:43I'm escorted to the largest VIP suite upstairs.
00:16:46On the table in front of him are ten bright red roses.
00:16:50Jasper Russell is sitting on the couch.
00:16:52His face a mask of cold indifference.
00:16:54Mr. Russell, I can explain.
00:16:56This isn't at all what it seems.
00:16:58Mrs. Anderson, since you seem to recognize the owner of these roses, I suggest you bring
00:17:03them forward.
00:17:03I can't sell out of Evelina.
00:17:05Not unless they push me to the brink.
00:17:07Let's try to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Russell.
00:17:09Don't make us go hard on you.
00:17:14The pressure is too much for the club owner.
00:17:17I'll tell you, the roses were meant for guests looking for fun!
00:17:28What?
00:17:39I sink onto the couch, realizing I've narrowly escaped disaster.
00:17:43But my relief is short-lived.
00:17:44I have to warn Evelina.
00:17:46I pull out my phone and dial her number.
00:17:47I scroll through my contacts and find Evelina's number.
00:17:50The number you've dialed is correct.
00:17:51A chill runs down my spine.
00:17:52I call the hotel front desk.
00:17:54She isn't in our suite.
00:18:08Something terrible has happened to her.
00:18:20The bed is empty.
00:18:22I told you to monitor her closely.
00:18:24How could she disappear?
00:18:25Sir, the bed was made to look occupied with pillows.
00:18:29Miss Russell and her maid, they vanished.
00:18:31I search the room myself, my rage turning to ice-cold panic.
00:18:35She's not hiding.
00:18:36She's gone.
00:18:37Keep her safe, Jasper.
00:18:41Just then, my head of security, Ian, rushes in.
00:18:44Sir, Jenny has returned!
00:18:47He escorts Flory's maid into the room.
00:18:49The moment she sees me, she collapses.
00:18:51Mr. Russell!
00:18:53Flory!
00:18:54She's been abducted!
00:18:56I haul her to her feet.
00:18:57I can't afford hysterics right now.
00:18:59Enough tears.
00:19:00Tell me everything that happened.
00:19:04Flory had overheard the villa staff discussing a street fair.
00:19:07She just hoped to explore a little and return unnoticed.
00:19:12Please, Mr. Russell, we must find her quickly.
00:19:14If we delay, I dread to think what might happen.
00:19:16This is all my fault.
00:19:18I should never have agreed to her request.
00:19:21Target the street fair.
00:19:23Mobilize everyone.
00:19:24Mobilize everyone.
00:19:27One more thing.
00:19:28I heard them mention their leader.
00:19:32They called him Mr. Reed.
00:19:34Reed.
00:19:40Ian, compile a list of every single person in this city with the surname Reed.
00:19:43I want locations on all of them.
00:19:45Now.
00:19:46I stopped fighting the moment they put the sack over my head.
00:19:52I needed to know who sent them.
00:19:54Didn't expect her to be hotter than her picture.
00:19:57It's our lucky night.
00:19:58They threw me into a van and drove to a desolate factory on the outskirts of town.
00:20:05Please, where are you taking me?
00:20:07What do you want?
00:20:08We're taking you to a delightful place, sweetheart.
00:20:22Please, where are you taking me?
00:20:25What do you want?
00:20:26We're taking you to a delightful place, sweetheart.
00:20:29It'll have you strowning for joy.
00:20:33If it's ransom you want, my husband is wealthy.
00:20:36He'll pay anything.
00:20:39Sweetheart, there's no need to fear.
00:20:40We're escorting you to a delightful place.
00:20:42It'll have you scrooming for joy.
00:20:44Spare me.
00:20:45If ransom is what you desire, my wealthy husband will satisfy any demand.
00:20:47We're not here for your money.
00:20:48We want you.
00:20:49Consider this.
00:20:50I'm pregnant.
00:20:50A pregnant woman won't command a high price.
00:20:52However, my husband would pay handsomely for my safe return.
00:20:54Damn.
00:20:54Mr. Reed didn't mention she was pregnant.
00:20:55What's our next move?
00:20:56Mr. Reed?
00:20:57Is he someone significant?
00:20:58You've never heard of Mr. Reed?
00:20:59He's the sole son of the Reed family heir from the west side of Aguilard.
00:21:01A big wit.
00:21:02You up's also tight with Mars and you shouldn't have, sweetheart, to cross her of all peoples.
00:21:04Ms. Gibson wants you gone permanently, but we, we're not as heartless.
00:21:07We don't like the idea of ending you like Margo Gibson.
00:21:22He forced the door open and pushed me inside with all his strength.
00:21:29Enough noise.
00:21:30You'll have plenty of time to scream later.
00:21:33I've picked the most attractive one.
00:21:35That waist, that figure.
00:21:37She's going to be unforgettable.
00:21:39The blind girl is for Pockmark.
00:21:40And you, big nose, you get what's left.
00:21:43And in that darkness, I knew my fight had just begun.
00:21:46I'm trapped with two other girls.
00:21:48Are we going to die?
00:21:50I just want to go home.
00:21:55I listen at the door.
00:21:57The thugs are still there.
00:21:59Perfect.
00:22:00I slip my hands free from the ropes.
00:22:02I made sure they tied them loosely.
00:22:07Let's dry those tears.
00:22:09Crying will only strain your eyes.
00:22:12Who are you?
00:22:13Did my uncle send you to rescue us?
00:22:16Keep it down.
00:22:17But yes, I'm getting us out of here.
00:22:20I untie the second girl.
00:22:23Can you run?
00:22:30I'm murdered by three men.
00:22:32I gather them close and whisper my plan.
00:22:35A moment later, Flory is convuxing on the floor, faking a seizure.
00:22:39Help!
00:22:40She's dying!
00:22:42She's foaming at the mouth!
00:22:43A thug kicks the door.
00:22:45Quiet down in there!
00:22:48Sir, please!
00:22:49If she dies, what will you tell Mr. Reed?
00:22:53What the hell is going-
00:23:02Move!
00:23:03Grab my hand and don't let go!
00:23:11Where do you think you're going?
00:23:17Run!
00:23:17Don't look back!
00:23:26Stay low!
00:23:36You can't even hit us, can you?
00:23:39You're hopeless.
00:23:42Bitch!
00:23:43You've asked for it!
00:23:55Still feeling brave?
00:23:57I-I promise.
00:23:59No more jokes.
00:24:06Wow!
00:24:08Hey, over here!
00:24:17We were completely surrounded.
00:24:25Impressive.
00:24:26Nobody's ever escaped my top guys before.
00:24:30I'm scared.
00:24:34You're Mr. Reed, correct?
00:24:36Whatever Margot's paying you, I'll give you five times as much.
00:24:40Let us go.
00:24:41Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:24:44You think we'd let you go after you've seen our faces?
00:24:48Finish them.
00:24:52You both know how to count, right?
00:24:55Get behind that tree with Flory and start counting.
00:24:57Now!
00:25:03Cover your ears!
00:25:04Count to 100!
00:25:08Then, I charge straight into the enemy ranks.
00:25:13Still wanna-to fight?
00:25:15No more.
00:25:16I swear.
00:25:17Please, have mercy.
00:25:22Let's go.
00:25:23Time to get out of here.
00:25:26Are you okay, miss?
00:25:27Are you hurt?
00:25:29Are you hurt?
00:25:32I'm fine.
00:25:33Let's move.
00:25:44They're back!
00:25:45The bad guys are back!
00:25:47Get in the van!
00:25:56Leave the girls alone.
00:25:58Take me instead.
00:25:59Sir, we've located her.
00:26:06The rising star?
00:26:10Ten roses.
00:26:12It seems we meet again.
00:26:19It's okay.
00:26:20I'm here now.
00:26:23You're so late.
00:26:25If Evelina hadn't been here-
00:26:30The man I drunkenly flirted with.
00:26:33Uncle?
00:26:34Have you met Evelina before?
00:26:37What's rising star and ten roses?
00:26:39Is that some kind of code?
00:26:41Indeed.
00:26:42We have met before.
00:26:43Evelina gifted me with ten roses.
00:26:45Really?
00:26:46Evelina, that's incredible!
00:26:47Do you like him?
00:26:48Be honest!
00:26:49Yes.
00:26:50I'm married.
00:26:52Oh no, married and you flirted with my uncle?
00:26:55That's not cool.
00:26:56I've already signed the divorce papers.
00:26:57And the roses were just-
00:26:59So, you're free then!
00:27:01My uncle is Iris' most eligible bachelor.
00:27:04Many women chase him, but I don't like any of them.
00:27:07But I do like you.
00:27:12What's going to happen to these men?
00:27:14We'll handle it privately.
00:27:15I accept.
00:27:16But I insist on dealing personally with Hayden Reed and the two thugs who attacked me.
00:27:21I don't think so.
00:27:23There are still matters you and I need to resolve.
00:27:25My apologies.
00:27:26I was intoxicated.
00:27:28I mistook you for-
00:27:29Does being drunk excuse flirting indiscriminately?
00:27:31No, it was a misunderstanding.
00:27:34You're quite attractive and-
00:27:36Really?
00:27:37Do you often approach attractive strangers?
00:27:42Flory!
00:27:43Flory!
00:27:43Get down!
00:27:49Who's bleeding?
00:27:51Evelina, are you okay?
00:27:52It's not me.
00:27:54It's your uncle.
00:27:57It's just a shallow cut.
00:27:58You're going to be okay.
00:28:01You're a doctor?
00:28:02No, I'm not.
00:28:04Mr. Russell, hold on!
00:28:06Don't harm her!
00:28:07Look, I know you're upset, but you must not harm her.
00:28:10She's the sight waver.
00:28:11The only one who can restore Miss Russell's vision.
00:28:15I assure you, I'm speaking the truth.
00:28:17Christina, that's enough.
00:28:18I was kidnapped by Haven Reed, a thug Margo paid to kill me.
00:28:21Oh, so it wasn't Mr. Russell?
00:28:23I brought my whole team here for nothing.
00:28:25You were Professor Mitchell's last student?
00:28:27It all makes sense.
00:28:27You were the one who restored Carrie's sight.
00:28:29I didn't bother denying it.
00:28:30The Russell family would have discovered my identity soon enough.
00:28:32Mrs. Marsh, let's forget our past issues.
00:28:35Please, treat Flory.
00:28:36You can name any terms you want.
00:28:38Really?
00:28:38Then just stake your claim on my uncle.
00:28:41He won't resist.
00:28:42I'm sorry, Mr. Russell.
00:28:44I took a blow to my back.
00:28:50I saw the security footage.
00:28:52There were only two of them.
00:28:54Even drunk, you should have handled them easily.
00:28:56I needed to find out who was behind this.
00:28:58You don't take risks like that.
00:29:00Did you find out what you needed?
00:29:02I discovered they had two other girls.
00:29:04I couldn't just leave them there.
00:29:10Evelina!
00:29:11That looks painful!
00:29:12It's minor.
00:29:13Just fix it.
00:29:15Uncle!
00:29:15She's injured.
00:29:16She got hurt rescuing me and Elise.
00:29:18She could have escaped, but she chose to save us.
00:29:21Please, don't force her to treat me.
00:29:23She has her reasons.
00:29:24I understand.
00:29:27I waited at the courthouse until 9am.
00:29:30Carrie was supposed to be here an hour ago for our divorce.
00:29:33His phone was off.
00:29:41Where is he?
00:29:42Carrie, I feel so awful.
00:29:44Please don't leave me.
00:29:46Stay just a little longer.
00:29:48Of course.
00:29:50I can't leave you like this.
00:29:55While he was in the bathroom, my calls came through.
00:29:59Esma saw my name and declined them, then turned his phone off completely.
00:30:05What's the hurry?
00:30:06What's the hurry?
00:30:07They can take their time picking up the body.
00:30:09If he's not man enough to show up for his own divorce, he'll be hearing from my attorney.
00:30:17I immediately called my personal assistant.
00:30:22The illustrious Queen Evelina graces me with a call.
00:30:25What can I do for you?
00:30:26I need the top divorce attorney in the nation.
00:30:29Make it happen.
00:30:30I'm through waiting.
00:30:32Your wish is my command, your majesty.
00:30:33He'll be ready the day after tomorrow.
00:30:35Back in my hotel room, feverish and exhausted, then there's the came or you quaid out.
00:30:41I renamed Carrie and my contacts to stupid jerk before passing out.
00:30:50Oh, stupid jerk.
00:31:00You stupid jerk!
00:31:02Can't you take a hint?
00:31:04Stupid jerk!
00:31:07Excuse me?
00:31:09Stupid jerk?
00:31:14It was not the stupid jerk.
00:31:17Uncle, just marry Evelina.
00:31:19Then she can stay with me forever.
00:31:22Flory, it's not that simple.
00:31:23Why not?
00:31:24You're the most wanted bachelor in Iris.
00:31:26Are you scared you can't win her heart?
00:31:28She's beautiful, isn't she?
00:31:30Admit it!
00:31:31My niece's pleading was relentless.
00:31:32The next morning, I caved, bringing pastries to the woman who haunted her thoughts.
00:31:36Sir, the data is in.
00:31:37Evelina Marsh is the sightwarver.
00:31:38We're only seeing the surface of who she is.
00:31:40Then I'll do whatever it takes to persuade her to heal Flory.
00:31:42Sir, if she were open to marrying you, would you consider it?
00:31:45Drop it, Ian.
00:31:46We arrived at her hotel.
00:31:47I rang the bell, ready to make my case.
00:31:49You stupid jerk!
00:31:51Can't you take a hint?
00:31:52Ms. Marsh, wait!
00:31:53Please, look who's here!
00:31:55Two of you now?
00:31:56Is my vision doubling?
00:32:01Mrs. Marsh?
00:32:02Evelina?
00:32:03Wake up!
00:32:03Her temperature is soaring.
00:32:05A healer who can't even manage her own health.
00:32:07Sir, you're carrying her?
00:32:08Wait, sir!
00:32:09This pill bottle!
00:32:10I think she took the wrong medication.
00:32:11It must have made her fever worse.
00:32:12Change of plans.
00:32:13Contact my family physician.
00:32:15Tell her we're on our way to the villa.
00:32:16To the villa?
00:32:18You're bringing a woman to your home?
00:32:21You're bringing a woman.
00:32:31I opened my eyes to see.
00:32:34Evie, you gave us a real fright.
00:32:39What's going on?
00:32:40I warned you to get that injury checked.
00:32:41You collapsed.
00:32:42Thank goodness Jasper was there.
00:32:44You...
00:32:45You brought me here?
00:32:47I didn't stop for your consent.
00:32:48Apologies for the abruptness.
00:32:49It was so scary.
00:32:51My uncle carried you to safety himself.
00:32:53Hold on.
00:32:54Jasper carried you?
00:32:55I assumed it was Ian.
00:32:56I felt my cheeks flush as Jasper looked away, his jaw tight.
00:32:59Please stay here for a few days, Evie.
00:33:01You're not good at looking after yourself.
00:33:03I'll cry if you leave.
00:33:05She's right.
00:33:05I'm leaving town and I can't leave you alone in that hotel.
00:33:08Mr. Russell, a Miss Barton has arrived to examine Miss Russell's eyes.
00:33:11Esma Barton is here?
00:33:13Fine.
00:33:13I'll stay.
00:33:14After Flory and Christina left, the room fell silent.
00:33:21It was just Jasper and me.
00:33:24Thank you for saving me.
00:33:26You're welcome.
00:33:27Rest.
00:33:28Flory is happy when you're here.
00:33:30I will treat Flory.
00:33:32But on one condition.
00:33:34Name it.
00:33:35Esme Barton must make a public apology.
00:33:37She used my mentor's name for fraud.
00:33:40I will not allow his reputation to be tarnished.
00:33:43Understood.
00:33:43Anything you ask.
00:33:44He walked to the door, then paused.
00:33:48One more thing.
00:33:49Margot has been arrested.
00:33:52And?
00:33:54And Callie knows you're the one who reported her.
00:33:56He's scowing the city for you.
00:33:59I woke up feeling human again.
00:34:02After charging my dead phone, I saw it.
00:34:05Over a hundred missed calls from Carrie and his mother.
00:34:08I ignored them all, but one name caught my eye.
00:34:12Hey Caleb, what's up?
00:34:14What's up?
00:34:15I've been stranded at the airport for hours.
00:34:17Didn't Lena tell you I was arriving today?
00:34:19You wouldn't really do that for a man and had a season rive turnies.
00:34:22The divorce lawyer.
00:34:25Caleb, I'm so sorry.
00:34:27I was sick and completely forgot.
00:34:29You have half an hour to get here, or I'm suing you for emotional distress.
00:34:39I threw on some clothes and rushed downstairs, but Flority stood in my way.
00:34:44You can't go out alone, Evie.
00:34:46It's either me or Uncle Jasper who goes with you.
00:34:49Make your choice.
00:34:51Flority, don't be absurd.
00:34:53I'm not being absurd.
00:34:55She needs a protector.
00:34:58And that's how I ended up in the car with Jasper, heading to the airport.
00:35:05So, who are we fetching for security purposes?
00:35:10My brother.
00:35:11He's here to handle my divorce.
00:35:13You two seem close.
00:35:17At the airport, Caleb saw me and his face lit up.
00:35:22Evie!
00:35:25I missed you so much.
00:35:27Mrs. Marsh has just recovered from being unwell.
00:35:30Perhaps you shouldn't be so rough.
00:35:33You were sick. Are you okay?
00:35:35I'm much better now, Caleb.
00:35:38Thanks to Mr. Russell.
00:35:42So, you're Jasper Russell.
00:35:44From Iray.
00:35:46I am.
00:35:49A pleasure to meet you.
00:35:53The pleasure is all mine.
00:35:56I squeezed into the car between Caleb and Jasper.
00:35:58A wall of pure tension.
00:36:00I'm staying wherever Ev stays.
00:36:02We're a package deal.
00:36:03That won't be necessary.
00:36:04Ms. Marsh is staying at my residence.
00:36:05The order was given sharp and final, cutting through the tension like a knife.
00:36:08Driver, take Mr. Quinn to his hotel.
00:36:09Eva, come with me to the hotel.
00:36:11Don't stay at his house.
00:36:12Mrs. Marsh has a commitment to my niece.
00:36:15Do not complicate things for her.
00:36:17Your niece?
00:36:18I've known Eva for a decade.
00:36:20You met her last week.
00:36:21The air crackled.
00:36:22Evie, come on.
00:36:23I came all this way for you.
00:36:25Are you really going to leave me alone in a hotel?
00:36:27I'm fragile.
00:36:28What if I get sick again?
00:36:30When a call came through from Carrie, I answered and pressed my hand over Caleb's mouth to shut
00:36:35him up.
00:36:35Evelina, why are you only answering now?
00:36:38Margo's been arrested.
00:36:39She orchestrated my kidnapping and tried to have me killed.
00:36:43Are you surprised?
00:36:44I felt Jasper's eyes on me, but my focus was solely on the man on the phone.
00:36:49You're lying.
00:36:50Margo would never hurt anyone.
00:36:52You're just trying to trap her to get something from me.
00:36:55Oh, so I'm the one avoiding the divorce?
00:36:57We were supposed to finalize it yesterday.
00:37:00Who didn't show up?
00:37:02His hypocrisy was astounding.
00:37:03Essie was sick.
00:37:04I couldn't just leave her.
00:37:06That's rich.
00:37:07I was attacked with a steel pipe.
00:37:09Let's talk about your saintly sister after I'm out of the hospital.
00:37:12I hung up and turned off my phone, but Caleb was still fuming.
00:37:17How can he be so entitled?
00:37:19Let his sister rot in jail a little longer.
00:37:21He needs more time to understand the situation.
00:37:23My stomach is growling.
00:37:25Let's go to my hotel and eat.
00:37:26Just when I thought the drama was over, Jasper stepped in.
00:37:29You're having dinner with me and Flory at the villa.
00:37:34Enough. We're going to a local place. Now.
00:37:37I made a decision.
00:37:38But when we got to the restaurant, our problems were far from over.
00:37:42I do apologize, but we are fully booked for the evening.
00:37:46Don't you have a VIP lounge for Platinum members?
00:37:49Just when I thought I could handle it, a familiar grating voice cut through the air.
00:37:54Evelana Marsh.
00:37:55Trying to dine without a reservation?
00:37:57How embarrassing.
00:37:59Don't worry. You can join us.
00:38:01Carrie booked the gold suite.
00:38:03It has a minimum charge of $100,000.
00:38:07Have you ever heard of it?
00:38:09The battle lines were drawn, and tonight, the war had just begun.
00:38:14The gold suite is quite expensive. It's under Standal, you wouldn't know.
00:38:17Really? I had no idea.
00:38:21But don't worry. You'll catch on to the finer things in life.
00:38:24You must be Mrs. Gibson. Mr. Gibson is a fortunate man, having a wife who was beautiful and sophisticated.
00:38:31Carrie wanted the Platinum Suite, but unfortunately, it's off limits to the public.
00:38:35Exactly. The Platinum Suite is reserved exclusively for our major shareholders. I've only seen it opened once.
00:38:43Don't be shy, Ms. Marsh. Join us for dinner.
00:38:46I appreciate the offer, but I'll decline.
00:38:49Don't insult our guests. You're lowering our standards.
00:38:52Security! Escort these troublemakers out!
00:38:57I suggest you fetch your manager. Immediately.
00:39:05We'll be dining in the Platinum Suite.
00:39:08That's definitely a counterfeit. She doesn't look like someone who could own a Platinum card.
00:39:12Mrs. Marsh, it's fine if this is out of your budget, but trying to pass off a fake card is
00:39:17quite appropriate.
00:39:19Ms. Marsh, please accept my apologies.
00:39:24Your Platinum Suite is prepared. Allow me to escort you personally.
00:39:28How can a housewife, an orphan, possess a Platinum card?
00:39:33Looks like you've never actually seen a Platinum card, Mrs. Barton.
00:39:37You'll grow accustomed to finer settings in time.
00:39:39I'm afraid you and Carly won't be joining us.
00:39:42My friend can't digest a meal with a cheater and his mistress.
00:39:46Carly and I love each other.
00:39:48Then you should urge him to finalize our divorce.
00:39:50You're shredding whatever good name you thought you had by hanging on to a still-married man.
00:39:54The stage was set. The audience captivated. Her downfall was public.
00:40:02Mrs. Marsh, I had no idea. Please forgive my error.
00:40:06If she's incapable of proper guest recognition, why is she even employed here?
00:40:11The person who recommended her should reconsider their position as well.
00:40:16Absolutely, Ms. Marsh.
00:40:19Eve, I almost burst out laughing back there.
00:40:22Does that old schemer even know you own this place?
00:40:24She doesn't know a lot of things about me, Caleb.
00:40:30Caleb? Are you trying to keep Jasper out?
00:40:34I... just...
00:40:35Don't you think you're too old to be playing these tricks?
00:40:38No matter how old I get, I'll still be your little brother, Evie.
00:40:40Yes. You're my brother. The only one I'll ever have.
00:40:44I'll be right back.
00:40:49Hey, Damien. Quick thing. What's Jasper Russell's least favorite dish?
00:40:53Jasper? He avoids spicy foods. Why?
00:40:55Listen, we Marshes don't back down, but even I wouldn't cross Jasper Russell. That man's a storm.
00:41:02Sir, concerning Caleb Quinn. He's the long-lost nephew of Vivian Marsh.
00:41:07The Marsh family is extremely protective of him. They treat him like he's fragile.
00:41:11Then work out how to return him to the Marsh family.
00:41:14Uh, sir, does this have to do with Mrs. Marsh?
00:41:17Three days. He goes back, or you're the one taking a flight.
00:41:23Flashing water on my cheeks.
00:41:28And rubbing my eyes.
00:41:35Esme, you're here. We kept the food warm for you.
00:41:39You shouldn't have waited. I wouldn't want to be a bother.
00:41:42Miss Barton, are you okay? Your eyes... you seem upset.
00:41:47Oh no, it's nothing at all.
00:41:49What's wrong, Esme? Did someone upset you?
00:41:52It's really nothing. Not worth mentioning.
00:41:55Oh my! You're the woman who was mistreated in the lobby earlier, aren't you?
00:42:01You must be confusing me with someone else.
00:42:03Explain what you saw. Now.
00:42:05That woman, Evelina, she publicly shamed this poor lady. Called her a disgrace.
00:42:11Her again? First she destroys my sister's reputation, and now she attacks Esma?
00:42:16Forget it, Carrie. She's in the platinum suite with some companion. She's beyond us now.
00:42:22Probably some old, rich, bald man.
00:42:27You have to try these, Jasper. They're the spiciest dishes in the house.
00:42:31Evie helped create the recipes. It would be a shame to ignore her hard work.
00:42:35Caleb, stop it. We need light dishes.
00:42:38Jasper has an arm injury, and my back isn't great.
00:42:41Your back is hurt? Show me where.
00:42:42Stay seated. And please, take these away. Bring us something less spicy.
00:42:47Here, Jasper. Drink this water. It might ease the burn.
00:42:54Take it easy.
00:42:56Evie! Something's wrong with me, too. I'm coughing. Check on me.
00:43:00Caleb, I'm a doctor. Your acting doesn't work on me.
00:43:04Evelina!
00:43:07Evelina, really? We're still married, and here you are. Charming other men?
00:43:12Who are you?
00:43:14I'm a lawyer. I deal with shameless people daily, but you, sir, are exceptional.
00:43:19Flaunting your affair and having the audacity to accuse your wife?
00:43:22Shut up!
00:43:27You claimed you were sick! What is this charade?
00:43:31Cozying up with your new lover? You deceitful slut!
00:43:36The man I'm with now surpasses you in every conceivable way.
00:43:40More attractive, wealthier, and vastly superior in bed.
00:43:44That's a lie!
00:43:46Carrie, have you really been with her?
00:43:49No, I swear I haven't laid a finger on her since our marriage.
00:43:52Caught on to my deception, have you?
00:43:55Then, then what grounds do you have for your accusations?
00:44:00Good heavens, Callie! That's uncalled for! I'm calling the cops!
00:44:04Sure, go ahead. That should help them investigate who got Margot to hire those kidnappers.
00:44:09What? Are you suggesting I was involved?
00:44:12Strange, isn't it?
00:44:13Three years, my marriage was fine. Then you come along, and suddenly I'm facing thugs?
00:44:17Don't forget, I challenged you to heal Flory. You had a motive to get rid of me.
00:44:20She's fabricating everything! Evelina, where's your evidence?
00:44:22Direct proof? I lack it. Margot knows who planted the scheme in her head. If she confesses, she could go
00:44:26free.
00:44:26Now Callie has to choose. His sister or his girlfriend.
00:44:29You're just envious! Envious because Callie loves me, not you!
00:44:34Fine. I'll leave. If my departure will save Margot, then I'll do it.
00:44:38Esme, don't blame yourself. You won't face this alone.
00:44:41What about Margot? Evelina seems so unyielding.
00:44:44Evelina, have you thought about how this will affect my grandmother?
00:44:48What is your angle? What do you want? Everything but marriage is on the table.
00:44:53Oh, really? I'll take everything you own. Are you prepared to hand that over?
00:44:59You're pushing your luck, Evelina.
00:45:01Tomorrow, 8am, the courthouse. Be there, or Margot ends up behind bars.
00:45:05And don't think of asking Mr. Russell for favors.
00:45:09I was present during each of your eye surgeries.
00:45:12I know who the real Sightwilter is, and it's not Esme.
00:45:16You're lying! You're just a housewife! What do you know about any of this?
00:45:20Once they were gone, Jasper's voice cut through the silence.
00:45:26You extended them mercy, and they responded with contempt.
00:45:30Margot is still Demi's granddaughter.
00:45:32I never truly intended to imprison her.
00:45:34Jasper, I thought you were supposed to strike fear into everyone's heart.
00:45:39Why weren't they trembling?
00:45:41Evelina sets her own place. She signals when she wants my intervention.
00:45:45Evelina now? Has she granted you that privilege?
00:45:49You've been calling me Jasper. I thought I'd level the familiarity.
00:45:53Caleb, focus on your meal.
00:45:57Join in, Jasper.
00:45:59It was a scene of utter chaos. One I had grown accustomed to with Caleb around.
00:46:03Evie! Save me! These brutes are dragging me away!
00:46:07Jasper, you handle him well. It's about time someone did.
00:46:13But the calm of the evening was shattered the next morning.
00:46:20Mrs. Marsh, come quickly! Mr. Russell is very sick!
00:46:24...as I rushed to his room.
00:46:27Evie! Uncle's fever is dangerously high. He had something bad to eat last night. He's allergic to most medicine.
00:46:32His condition is from his diet. Spicy or heavily seasoned foods are like poison to him.
00:46:37The spicy meal. Caleb ordered it. I knew Jasper didn't like it, but I didn't know it was this severe.
00:46:44We've tried everything non-medical to cool him down, but nothing is working.
00:46:49Then we need a more radical approach.
00:46:52Mrs. Marsh, your method is unknown and far too risky.
00:46:55If something happens to Mr. Russell...
00:46:57Evie, are you sure about this?
00:46:58If any harm comes to him, I will take full responsibility.
00:47:02If he suffers permanent damage, I will dedicate my life to his care.
00:47:07Now, fetch me ice and the strongest alcohol you can find.
00:47:10I approached his bed, my mind racing but my purpose clear.
00:47:16Wait, you're taking off everything?
00:47:21His... his whole body needs to be cooled.
00:47:26His shirt fell open, revealed his sculpted chest.
00:47:30I quickly regained my composure and called for help.
00:47:33You two, wipe his arms and hands with ice.
00:47:36Dab alcohol on his chest, back, and limbs.
00:47:38Every hour.
00:47:45You're being too rough, stop!
00:47:48I couldn't let them hurt him.
00:47:50I pushed them aside and took the bloth myself.
00:47:53This had to be my responsibility.
00:47:57Evie, his fee is gone. You saved him.
00:47:59I don't know what we would have done without you.
00:48:01Mrs. Marsh, I am so sorry.
00:48:02I never should have doubted your methods.
00:48:04I am so sorry.
00:48:04All right, no worries. His apology barely registered.
00:48:06All I could feel was the immense relief that Jasper was safe.
00:48:15Uncle, you almost gave me a heart attack.
00:48:17Jack, we are so lucky Evie was here.
00:48:20Jasper, here. You need to drink this.
00:48:22Evie made it. It's a special herbal tea. A miracle tea for your allergies.
00:48:26I've already passed the recipe to your physician.
00:48:28She'll prepare it for you to carry in a thermost every day.
00:48:30You can count medicinal brews? Thank you, really.
00:48:33Jasper, since you're feeling better, I have a favor to ask.
00:48:35Please don't hold Kayla's antics against him. He means well.
00:48:38Is that why you did all this? To plead his case?
00:48:41No, of course not. I just...
00:48:43The promise was given, but the coldness in his eyes sent a shiver down my spine.
00:48:48Thank you, Jasper.
00:48:48Still, I was grateful.
00:48:50Uncle, Evie just saved your life. Don't you think maybe you should marry her?
00:48:54Evelina, you saw him at his weakest. That makes you responsible for him now.
00:48:57Flory's words were light, but they triggered something deep inside me.
00:49:00A sudden, dreadful feeling washed something crucial.
00:49:02Is it lunch? You must be hungry.
00:49:09The courthouse.
00:49:11My 8 a.m. appointment.
00:49:13I missed my divorce wearing with Carrie.
00:49:15The air in the lawyer's office was thick with attention only money and betrayal could buy.
00:49:19Carrie couldn't stand still, and then Esme made her entrance.
00:49:21A serpent in silk.
00:49:22Carrie, don't be angry. I'm sure something sure came up, but she wouldn't do this on purpose.
00:49:25Urgent? She stays home all day. Can Iwanda's two methods?
00:49:28You saw her last night. It looks like she's already scouting for her next option.
00:49:30I can't deal with this.
00:49:33But I need to get Margot out.
00:49:35She saw her opening. The predator sensing weakness.
00:49:38Leave Margot to me. My brother Sebastian is back in town.
00:49:41He has connections. He can get her released.
00:49:44When I finally managed to call, it wasn't Carly who answered.
00:49:47You've got some nerve calling me. Do you think your pathetic little tricks will stop this divorce?
00:49:51Put Carly on.
00:49:53Keep dreaming. He's disgusted with you. He never wants to speak to you again.
00:49:56You made his grandmother sick.
00:49:57What are you talking about?
00:49:58Demi's condition has worsened because of you.
00:50:01Do you want to be the reason she ends up in a hospital bed?
00:50:04She hung up. Every word was a lie, carefully scripted by her brother who was right beside her.
00:50:09Think that'll do it? Will that woman finally let Margot go?
00:50:12I did my research.
00:50:13She's an orphan raised on loyalty. Carrie's grandmother was kind to her.
00:50:16She won't stomach the idea of that old woman suffering.
00:50:18Girls like her. Give them a shred of kindness and they'll sacrifice everything. Pathetic.
00:50:21She will break. She'll get Margot released and Carrie will think we orchestrated it.
00:50:24He'll be grateful. He'll trust you completely.
00:50:26And soon enough, I will officially become Mrs. Gibson.
00:50:29Demi isn't feeling well.
00:50:30And neither are you. Your back injury hasn't fully healed. You've just recovered from an illness and you've spent the
00:50:35whole morning taking care of me.
00:50:36Do you think you're unstoppable? Sit down. Eat first. Ian will take you there later.
00:50:40You better listen to Uncle Jasper. He's terrifying when he's upset.
00:50:43If Demi's condition were severe, her family would have taken her to a hospital by now.
00:50:48Since she's still at the estate, it's unlikely to be urgent. A short delay won't change much.
00:50:53Eat something first. If Demi sees you pale and exhausted, it'll only add to her stress, which could make her
00:50:58feel worse.
00:51:00Jasper, this is way too much.
00:51:02If it's too much, share with me.
00:51:05Uncle Jasper only looks after you now. He don't even serve me food anymore.
00:51:10Even with your mouth full, you still find a way to chatter, huh?
00:51:15Jasper, this is way too much.
00:51:17If it's too much, share with me. Uncle Jasper only looks after you now. He don't even serves me food
00:51:23anymore.
00:51:25Even with your mouth full, you still find a way to chatter, huh?
00:51:35Mrs. Gibson has made it clear you are not welcome. Here, leave now or we'll have to throw you out.
00:51:39Please contact Asha. He'll let me in. I promise this won't cause trouble for you.
00:51:44Asher is busy tending to Mrs. Demi Gibson. No one has time for the likes of you, you wretched woman.
00:51:49What did you just say? Care to repeat that?
00:51:53Well said. You had my daughter locked up, and now you dare show your face here?
00:51:58I only came to check on Demi.
00:52:00Who do you think you are? You have no right to see her. Bring a broom and chase her out.
00:52:05Let's see if she ever dares step foot here again.
00:52:09Annoying.
00:52:13Who did that? Who dares lay a hand on one of our household workers? Mr. Russell, what brings you here?
00:52:18I heard Demi was ill and came to visit, but it seems there isn't presence and welcome.
00:52:21Ms. Marsh, let's go.
00:52:22No, of course you're always welcome here anywhere near...
00:52:24Mrs. Marsh is a valued guest of the Russell family. Insulting her is the same as insulting us. Apologize.
00:52:28Ian knew they couldn't afford to let us walk away. Just as we turned to leave, my former mother-in
00:52:32-law came running.
00:52:33Mr. Russell, please wait. I'll apologize. I'll do it right now.
00:52:37Then do it properly.
00:52:39I'm sorry.
00:52:41Is that how you apologize? Are you looking down on the Russell family because you feel superior?
00:52:45No. Mr. Russell, you've misunderstood.
00:52:47Ian ignored her excuses and signaled to his bodyguard.
00:52:51Ms. Marsh, I apologize. My actions were incorrect. Who bowed deeply before give me.
00:52:55You expect me to bow to you like that? I am your mother-in-law. It is unseemly for you
00:53:00to demand this.
00:53:01Actually, you are no longer my mother-in-law. And considering the ordeal you put me through for three years,
00:53:06an apology is exactly what you owe me.
00:53:09Mrs. Gibson, we're leaving. You don't have to apologize, but I must warn you, the future of the Gibson group
00:53:15could look quite grim.
00:53:18Just as she was about to break...
00:53:20Mom, what are you doing?
00:53:21My ex-husband, Carrie, rushed in.
00:53:23Carrie! This is the most shameful day of my life. I can't bear to live with this disgrace.
00:53:31Evelina, how dare you come into our home and bully my mother? Are you seeking your own ruin?
00:53:35Bullying? Your mother insulted a respected guest of the Russell family. I simply requested an apology. It seems the Gibson
00:53:41family is courting disaster.
00:53:43He didn't dare challenge the Russells, so he turned all his venom on me.
00:53:46Kneel before my mother! Why aren't you on your knees apologizing? Remember, you are the reason for today's debacle.
00:53:50He looked down at me, his voice dripping with the same arrogance I once found charming.
00:53:53Is that what you want? For me to beg?
00:53:55But I was no longer the woman who would be intimidated.
00:53:57No, you are the one who will kneel and beg for forgiveness.
00:53:59He sneered.
00:54:00So I swung my hand and landed a sharp slap across his complacent face.
00:54:03Evelina, how dare you strike him?
00:54:05Allura's shriek was like a match to gasoline.
00:54:07Utter another word and he gets another.
00:54:08It was time to remind him of the pit I had pulled him from.
00:54:11Was I too kind to you? Have you forgotten the scorn you faced when you were blind?
00:54:14Your mother wept, your sister abandoned you, and your uncle sees I restored your sight and your power!
00:54:18I left him standing there in shock, went to CC Demi.
00:54:20Demi, you must take care of yourself. Don't take a cold lightly at your age.
00:54:24Demi was the only one in this house with a shred of decency.
00:54:27You truly look after me. No one else in this family does.
00:54:29Don't be fooled by her facade. She is not who you think she is.
00:54:32She landed Margot in police custody!
00:54:35Her performance was as predictable as it was pathetic.
00:54:38My poor Margot, who grew up in comfort, is suffering like never before.
00:54:43What? Margot is at the police station? What happened?
00:54:46Margot is just a child.
00:54:49Evelina accused her of orchestrating a kidnapping.
00:54:52The truth is, Evelina probably got tangled up with criminals herself.
00:54:55Mrs. Gibson, how can you stand there and lie?
00:54:59Hayden Reed, delivered and his entire crew have precision, is a weapon Elra could never comprehend.
00:55:06It was Margot, who told them to abduct Ms. Marsh.
00:55:10That is why she was arrested.
00:55:13Mom, just let it be.
00:55:14The living room felt suffocating, thick with unspoken resentment.
00:55:18I watched as Carrie tried to mediate, a hopeless task.
00:55:21Your fault! You raised a child who would dare do this to Evelina!
00:55:25You hit me? For her?
00:55:27My dear Evelina, you've suffered so much injustice in this family.
00:55:32Grandma, this isn't on my mom, it's all-
00:55:34All what?
00:55:34Would you be this calm if Margot had been abducted?
00:55:38Demi! Margot is your granddaughter!
00:55:40You can't just let her rot in jail!
00:55:43She needs to learn her lesson.
00:55:44Why else would she attack Evelina without provovication?
00:55:47Please, Demi, don't worry.
00:55:48I'm not really going to let Margot face jail time.
00:55:51You're too kind, my dear, after everything you've endured.
00:55:53Then prove it!
00:55:54Write down your forgiveness right now!
00:55:56Get out of my sight!
00:55:58After they left, the silence in the room was a heavy blanket.
00:56:01You're not Mr. Russell, aren't you?
00:56:02Indeed, Mrs. Gibson. I am Ian Payne, Mr. Russell's aide.
00:56:04Miss Russell is a friend of Miss Marsh and asked me to escort her.
00:56:07It's no wonder. It seems everyone Evelina meets becomes a friend.
00:56:09When will Callie open his eyes and win you back?
00:56:11Her words hung in the air, a future she desired for me.
00:56:13Demi, Margot isn't inherently evil.
00:56:15I suspect him orchestrated this. You must watch out for her.
00:56:18But my warning to Demi would have to wait.
00:56:19As I left the Gibson estate, I found I wasn't alone.
00:56:22I see right through you now.
00:56:23All your manipulations, your deceitful tactics, they're just a ploy to extract money.
00:56:27Carrie, let's just finalize the divorce.
00:56:29I won't be fooled. The initial divorce terms are cancelled.
00:56:33Whether you sign this or not, I'm pushing forward.
00:56:42He's clawing back a settlement that wouldn't even buy you a decent handbag?
00:56:45That monster! His actions are beyond forgiveness. I'm going to confront him myself.
00:56:50And his grandmother still thinks he has a chance to reconcile with you.
00:56:53He wouldn't have a chance.
00:56:55Not in a million years.
00:56:56Evelina is part of the Russell family now. And nobody else is.
00:57:00What Russell family? She's my family. And that's final.
00:57:03Nonsense! Evelina is mine!
00:57:06Enough, both of you.
00:57:07Flory, remember her injuries.
00:57:09Evelina, what's your plan?
00:57:11I suspect this is Esma's handiwork.
00:57:13They think they can use money as a weapon against me.
00:57:16They're wrong.
00:57:17Caleb, draft a bill for Carrie.
00:57:20Four surgeries.
00:57:21Twenty million total.
00:57:22Consider it done.
00:57:23Also, inform him I'll drop the criminal charges against Margo in exchange for ten million in compensation.
00:57:29Evelina, only ten million?
00:57:30You could demand a billion from them.
00:57:32Do you really think the Gibson group could find a billion?
00:57:35I made a call to my assistant.
00:57:37It was time to cut them off completely.
00:57:39Lina, we will no longer offer the Gibson fam discounted raw materials, market rates from now on.
00:57:44Furthermore, our brands will stop overpaying for their products.
00:57:48Let's see how they fare without my support.
00:57:50Mr. Gibson, terrible news.
00:57:52The cost of our raw materials has tripled overnight.
00:57:54Our clients are only offering to pay half of what they used to.
00:57:58And sir, the Sightwander has issued us a bill for twenty million.
00:58:04A bill from the Sightwander?
00:58:08Esme, aren't you the Sightwander?
00:58:15I activated my voice changer.
00:58:18Yes, who's speaking?
00:58:20Good day.
00:58:21I'm Esme Barton, a junior to the Sightwalker.
00:58:23Could you connect me with her, please?
00:58:24This is the Sightwalker.
00:58:26It's an honor.
00:58:27I've heard so much about you.
00:58:28My mentor never had a student named Esme Barton.
00:58:32Well, not formally, but I attended his lectures.
00:58:35Let's just say I'm your junior.
00:58:37Skip the pretenses.
00:58:38What do you want?
00:58:38I need your help.
00:58:40An ophthalmology surgery in three days.
00:58:42Could you please oversee my work?
00:58:44I'm not available.
00:58:45What if I compensate you generously?
00:58:47Everyone has a price.
00:58:48I'm not interested in your money.
00:58:50Six million for one session.
00:58:52Would that change your mind?
00:58:53Seven million.
00:58:55Ten million.
00:58:55That's everything I have.
00:58:57You charge the Russell family 50 million for that surgery.
00:59:00That's a fabrication.
00:59:02I never...
00:59:07Caleb, ignore any more calls from her.
00:59:10She needs to think...
00:59:10Understood.
00:59:11But Evelina, isn't today your shooting practice?
00:59:14Shooting practice?
00:59:15Why would I do that?
00:59:16The contest with Idris.
00:59:18From the ghost market.
00:59:19To find your biological parents.
00:59:20Remember?
00:59:22Remember?
00:59:29When is the contest?
00:59:31Tomorrow.
00:59:33Idris is an acclaimed marksman.
00:59:34You have to outshoot him.
00:59:38Relax, Evelina.
00:59:39I've trained diligently with a national champion.
00:59:41My aim won't let you down.
00:59:44We'll give it our all.
00:59:46That's all we can do.
00:59:55Your best won't cut it, my dear Evelina.
00:59:59You've grown even more captivating.
01:00:01And don't forget our little bet.
01:00:03If you lose, you'll be my girlfriend for an entire month.
01:00:07You tricked us!
01:00:08We agreed to bring trusted associates, not a champion shooter.
01:00:11My bodyguard is my most reliable person.
01:00:14Nothing unfair there.
01:00:16The deal was you'd have one month to try winning me over, Idris.
01:00:19Nothing more.
01:00:22Isn't it practically the same thing?
01:00:25I'm determined you'll be mine, Evelina.
01:00:28Unbelievable!
01:00:29At nearly 50, you're still eyeing her?
01:00:31Perhaps Evelina prefers someone skilled.
01:00:34We older men understand how to cherish a woman.
01:00:38It appears you have some pending loans with the Russell Group Bank.
01:00:49Mr. Russell!
01:00:50To what do I owe this unexpected visit?
01:00:54I'm here about your debts.
01:00:56Such a trivial sum.
01:00:58Surely it's not worth your time.
01:01:03Jasper, place a bet for me.
01:01:05I'm betting on myself.
01:01:06We're getting close to Mr. Russell, are we?
01:01:08Don't tell me you've already become his woman.
01:01:10Mind your language.
01:01:11It's Jasper who's pursuing her.
01:01:13She hasn't consented to anything.
01:01:14Good to hear.
01:01:15So I still have a chance to be the first.
01:01:18It's been a long time since your last big win.
01:01:20You've been a nanny, not a shooter.
01:01:21Why not just concede?
01:01:22Lose gracefully, and I'll help find your parents.
01:01:25If you agree to be my girlfriend.
01:01:27Miss Marsh scores a perfect 10.
01:01:30Mr. Cortez, 9.
01:01:31Yes!
01:01:32Evilana's going to sweep the rest too!
01:01:41An 8 for Ms. Marsh.
01:01:439 for Mr. Cortez.
01:01:45The scores are now even.
01:01:47This is the final, crucial shot.
01:01:49Go, Evelina!
01:01:50You're the best!
01:01:52Just so you know, Ms. Marsh.
01:01:55Forget about Mr. Russell.
01:01:56He's engaged.
01:01:57What?
01:01:58To Aurora Marsh, the Marsh family heiress, his fiancance.
01:02:03You!
01:02:04Now shoot.
01:02:09My shot went wide.
01:02:10Evelina, it's not over yet.
01:02:12I'll make up for it.
01:02:13My bodyguard always scores 10s.
01:02:15You don't stand a chance.
01:02:17I've already reserved a table for our date, Evelina.
01:02:19And perhaps after dinner, we can extend the evening to a hotel.
01:02:29Mr. Russell!
01:02:31Why the sudden violence?
01:02:34You're in debt to me.
01:02:37Isn't that reason enough?
01:02:40Flory sent me to see how you're doing.
01:02:44I'm all right, thank you.
01:02:47Evelina, I have to head back to Irith.
01:02:50An emergency with a case.
01:02:52You're just leaving?
01:02:53What about our match?
01:02:55You should go, Caleb.
01:02:57Handle your business.
01:02:58My security will take you to the airport.
01:03:00Now.
01:03:01After Caleb left, I stood alone, ready to continue the competition by myself.
01:03:06We agreed on partners.
01:03:08You can't compete twice.
01:03:11Just give up.
01:03:14I can take her place in the competition.
01:03:24Jasper, you shouldn't.
01:03:26Your arm still hasn't recovered.
01:03:28It's pretty much healed.
01:03:31You're not worried I might make a fool of myself, are you?
01:03:34Of course not, Jasper.
01:03:36Mr. Russell, joining at this stage, that doesn't seem proper.
01:03:41You said each contestant could pick their most trusted partner.
01:03:44Well, I am her choice now.
01:03:46What's the matter?
01:03:47Are you scared?
01:03:48You might as well concede defeat.
01:03:50You have a fiancé, Mr. Russell.
01:03:53Aren't you concerned about upsetting Aurora Marsh?
01:03:56Mr. Russell, aren't you engaged to Mrs. Aurora Marsh?
01:04:00A lifelong agreement, isn't it?
01:04:02What fiancé?
01:04:05So that's why my performance fault.
01:04:08You believed a rumor without even asking me?
01:04:10I trade in secrets.
01:04:12Everyone knows about the engagement.
01:04:14Did Aurora start this rumor?
01:04:16She's merely an adopteet.
01:04:18The engagement was a joke between old men, never binding.
01:04:21I was just blabbering.
01:04:23A terrible habit.
01:04:24Try to be more persuasive with your self-punishment.
01:04:26Evelina, please put in a good word for me.
01:04:28I swear, no more careless talk.
01:04:30Fine.
01:04:30Jasper will dictate the terms for the next round.
01:04:33Blindfolded.
01:04:33We disassemble our guns, reassemble them, and fire three shots.
01:04:37Mr. Russell, that's impossible.
01:04:38Please, something less extreme.
01:04:40Jasper, perhaps we could ease up on him.
01:04:42Just a bit.
01:04:43As you wish, Evelina.
01:04:44No blindfolds.
01:04:45We'll use moving targets instead.
01:04:51And I was using my left hand.
01:04:53Don't accuse me of being unfair.
01:04:58Four rings!
01:04:59One ring!
01:05:00And a complete miss on the final shot!
01:05:03You were only 21 rings short, Idris.
01:05:05Just a bit more practice needed.
01:05:07Idris, you remember our agreement.
01:05:10Fine.
01:05:11I'll help you locate your parents.
01:05:13But in return, I want the Starry Night earrings.
01:05:18The earrings Carely bought for Esma?
01:05:20The ones that cost 300 million?
