00:00:00On the day my husband gave me three million dollars as a divorce settlement, I laughed
00:00:04because he had just spent 300 million on his mistress. And what he really didn't know was
00:00:09that the miracle doctor first love he pined for had never even held a scalpel. I signed the papers,
00:00:14walked away, and then cut off his entire supply chain. One week later, his company was on the
00:00:18brink of bankruptcy. His first love was being exposed and torn apart across the internet,
00:00:21and his own grandmother personally called to beg me to come back. As for me, I was sitting in the
00:00:25private villa of the most terrifying man in the city, Jasper Russell, drinking the red wine.
00:00:28I had the anniversary dinner perfectly set when he walked in, acting as if it were just
00:00:33another 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? They'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!
00:01:13What are you saying?
00:01:15She arranged my surgeries in secret. She was Professor Mitchell's last apprentice,
00:01:19the 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.
00:01:28Review 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.
00:01:54But Carolee, you'd better not regret your choice.
00:02:00You accepted the settlement. Now you explain the divorce to Grandma.
00:02:04I'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?
00:02:11For 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
00:02:58firecrackers.
00:03:00Are you insane?
00:03:03The 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.
00:04:31Don'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. You 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? Did 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.
00:05:15I'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?
00:05:33Oh, 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.
00:06:20That foolish grandson of mine.
00:06:23Blindly letting go of such a gem.
00:06:26It's all right, Demi.
00:06:27Evie, sweetheart.
00:06:28Just once more.
00:06:30Can you give Callie another chance for my sake?
00:06:33I waited three long years for him to see me.
00:06:36He never did.
00:06:37Another chance won't change anything.
00:06:38Suddenly, the tense silence was bashered.
00:06:46My dress! It's ruined!
00:06:48What was that about, Grandma?
00:06:50How dare you ask!
00:06:52Without this woman, would you have had your accident?
00:06:55Would you have lost your sight?
00:06:56I've said it countless times.
00:06:58Esme wasn't responsible for that.
00:07:01Evelina, have you been whispering lies to Grandma again?
00:07:04Of course it's her!
00:07:06However, that orphan would do anything to cling to this family.
00:07:11She's despicable.
00:07:12Enough!
00:07:15Evelina is the granddaughter-in-law I chose.
00:07:17Are you challenging my authority?
00:07:19You simply don't want me to leave Evelina.
00:07:21But Esme is the one I love.
00:07:25She is my only future.
00:07:27Excellent.
00:07:29Marvelous.
00:07:32Then let me be clear.
00:07:35Divorce Evelina, and you surrender 10% of your Gibson shares to her.
00:07:40Grandma, you can't mean that!
00:07:41And Esme?
00:07:43She will never set foot inside this household again while I'm alive.
00:07:48I have spoken.
00:07:50Defy me, Carly, and you forfeit your place as a Gibson.
00:07:58Grandma shares for her?
00:08:00She's a parentless orphan!
00:08:01Silence, Margot.
00:08:02Demi, Carly is your own grandson.
00:08:05I have other grandsons.
00:08:07Let's see how far his love gets him when he's penniless.
00:08:09Are you satisfied now, Evelina?
00:08:11You've turned my own grandmother against me.
00:08:13I was just trying to keep Grandma calm.
00:08:15Her heart is weak, and these vultures would be the death of her.
00:08:19Ma'am!
00:08:20Mr. Russell, he's here.
00:08:24Evelina, we have an important guest.
00:08:26You should leave through the back.
00:08:28Actually, Callie and I are still legally married.
00:08:30I 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.
00:08:42She's the sight walker, the one who cured my blindness.
00:08:44He was so proud, so blind to the obvious.
00:08:46He was defending a lie with the passion of a knight defending his queen.
00:08:49The who?
00:08:50She cured your blindness?
00:08:51Yes.
00:08:51She 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.
00:09:11I must go change immediately.
00:09:13Running away, Miss Barton?
00:09:15Is it because you're not really Professor Mitchell's student?
00:09:17That's nonsense!
00:09:18I studied with him while you were at home folding Carrie's clothes!
00:09:23Oh, then you must know.
00:09:25How many surgeries did it take to restore Carrie's vision?
00:09:29Three.
00:09:30Obviously, I performed them myself.
00:09:33It was four.
00:09:35Right!
00:09:36Four!
00:09:37Of course it was four!
00:09:38So which is it, Esme?
00:09:40Three?
00:09:41Or four?
00:09:47There have been so many surgeries.
00:09:49I honestly can't recall each one.
00:09:51A surgeon who forgets her own procedures?
00:09:54You're an imposter.
00:09:55How about a little waiter?
00:09:56Who are you to challenge Esma?
00:09:58Margaret, silence.
00:10:00Well, Miss Barton, if your claims are legitimate, this shouldn't faze you.
00:10:04Fine.
00:10:05I accept your ridiculous bet.
00:10:07You're just desperate to win Carrie back, aren't you?
00:10:11Pathetic.
00:10:12Here's the bet.
00:10:14Prove you can restore Flory Russell's sight.
00:10:19Enough of your slander!
00:10:20Esme reviewed Flory's records and assured me she can treat her!
00:10:23But Evelina was unmoved by his fury.
00:10:25Wonderful.
00:10:26Then 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.
00:10:32What if she succeeds?
00:10:33Then I'll openly admit my error for everyone to see.
00:10:35Not good enough!
00:10:37If 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.
00:10:48With a credible witness, no one can wriggle out of this.
00:10:51His agreement sealed the pact.
00:10:52There was no escape now.
00:10:53Who exactly are you accusing Evelina?
00:10:55Enough!
00:10:56Esme, 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?
00:11:07I might need more preparation time.
00:11:09That's your concern, not mine.
00:11:11Just ensure your success.
00:11:16Daughters, 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?
00:11:28Is he as ridiculously attractive as they say?
00:11:30Unfortunately, no.
00:11:31The man who showed up today was just an assistant.
00:11:33Predictable.
00:11:33Does Margot honestly believe she'll marry into the Russell family?
00:11:36The last woman who chased Jasper had her entire-
00:11:39I know.
00:11:39The 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.
00:11:47I'll be there.
00:11:48Sir, Esma 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 Carly is openly flaunting his relationship with Esma.
00:11:56Disgusting.
00:11:57All of Carly's eye surgeries happened after he married Evelina.
00:11:59She must be connected to the genuine psyche.
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 Carly?
00:12:16What do you mean? Did you notice something?
00:12:18It's quite possible the butler tipped Evelina 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?
00:12:59Exactly!
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.
00:13:37See 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.
00:13:49No 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?
00:14:14Ah!
00:14:15Damn it!
00:14:16You're insane!
00:14:17How dare you-
00:14:18Margot's shriek was just noise.
00:14:23You.
00:14:24I saw you at the end of the group.
00:14:26I've been looking for someone like you all night.
00:14:28These roses are yours.
00:14:30All ten of them.
00:14:31You're my choice.
00:14:32He didn't seem surprised.
00:14:33Only intrigued.
00:14:34His gaze met mine.
00:14:36A slow, magnetic smile playing on his lips.
00:14:40Are you certain about this?
00:14:42Don't hold back, Rising Star.
00:14:49With 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!
00:15:15Evelana!
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.
00:15:33And don't flatter yourself.
00:15:36I have never to.
00:15:39Fine!
00:15:40Tomorrow at eight.
00:15:41The courthouse.
00:15:42We finalize this.
00:15:43Don't be late.
00:15:46Of Corey was sweet.
00:15:47If 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?
00:16:14Carly?
00:16:15What 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.
00:16:30Of the chains that came with the courting a crown.
00:16:32She played her part perfectly.
00:16:34I know, I know.
00:16:34I'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.
00:17:13The pressure is too much for the club owner.
00:17:17I'll tell you.
00:17:18The 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.
00:17:45I 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.
00:18:28Miss 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.
00:18:46He 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!
00:18:55I 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.
00:19:17I should never have agreed to her request.
00:19:20Target the street fair.
00:19:22Mobilize 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.
00:20:06Where are you taking me?
00:20:07What do you want?
00:20:08We're taking you to a delightful place, sweetheart.
00:20:11You'll be screaming for joy.
00:20:23Please.
00:20:23Where 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.
00:20:38Sweetheart, there's no need to fear.
00:20:40We're escorting you to a delightful place.
00:20:42It'll have you screaming for joy.
00:20:44Spare me.
00:20:44If 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 Aglard.
00:21:01A big wit.
00:21:02You up's also tight with Marson you shouldn't have, sweetheart, to cross her of all peoples.
00:21:04Miss Gibson wants you gone permanently.
00:21:06But we?
00:21:06We're not as heartless.
00:21:07We don't like the idea of ending you like...
00:21:10Margot Gibson.
00:21:15Margot Gibson.
00:21:21He 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.
00:21:38The 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.
00:21:47Are 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?
00:22:30...started 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! She'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! Grab my hand and don't let go!
00:23:10Where do you think you're going?
00:23:16Run!
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.
00:23:40You're hopeless.
00:23:42Bitch!
00:23:43You've asked for it!
00:23:55Still feeling brave?
00:23:57I promise.
00:23:59No more jokes.
00:24:00You're hopeless.
00:24:05You're hopeless.
00:24:07That's all.
00:24:07Don't look back.
00:24:07Help!
00:24:08Hey, over here!
00:24:19We were completely surrounded
00:24:25Impressive, nobody's ever escaped my top guys before
00:24:29I'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
00:24:44You 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, I swear
00:25:16Please, have mercy
00:25:22Let's go
00:25:22Time to get out of here
00:25:26Are you okay, miss?
00:25:27Are 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, I'm here now
00:26:23You're so late
00:26:24If Evelina hadn't been here
00:26:29The 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
00:26:41We have met before
00:26:42Evelina 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?
00:26:54That'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
00:27:03Many women chase him
00:27:05But I don't like any of them
00:27:07But I do like you
00:27:11What's going to happen to these men?
00:27:13We'll handle it privately
00:27:15I accept
00:27:16But I insist on dealing personally with Hayden Reed
00:27:19And the two thugs who attacked me
00:27:21I don't think so
00:27:22There 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
00:27:33You're quite attractive and
00:27:35Really?
00:27:36Do you often approach attractive strangers?
00:27:42Flory!
00:27:43Get down!
00:27:49Who's bleeding?
00:27:50Evelina, are you okay?
00:27:52It's not me
00:27:53It's your uncle
00:27:57It's just a shallow cut
00:27:58You're going to be okay
00:28:00You'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
00:28:08But you must not harm her
00:28:09She's the sight waver
00:28:11The only one who can restore Miss Russell's vision
00:28:15I assure you
00:28:16I'm speaking the truth
00:28:17Christina, that's enough
00:28:18I was kidnapped by Hayden Reed
00:28:20A thug Margot paid to kill me
00:28:21Oh
00:28:21So 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
00:28:33Let's forget our past issues
00:28:34Please treat Flory
00:28:36You can name any terms you want
00:28:37Really?
00:28:38Then just stake your claim on my uncle
00:28:40He won't resist
00:28:42I'm sorry, Mr. Russell
00:28:43I took a blow to my back
00:28:50I saw the security footage
00:28:52There were only two of them
00:28:53Even drunk, you should have handled them easily
00:28:55I 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?
00:29:01I discovered they had two other girls
00:29:03I couldn't just leave them there
00:29:10Evelina!
00:29:11That looks painful
00:29:12It's minor
00:29:13Just fix it
00:29:14Uncle, she's injured
00:29:16She got hurt rescuing me and Elise
00:29:18She could have escaped
00:29:19But she chose to save us
00:29:21Please don't force her to treat me
00:29:22She has her reasons
00:29:24I understand
00:29:26I waited at the courthouse until 9am
00:29:29Carrie was supposed to be here an hour ago for our divorce
00:29:32His phone was off
00:29:40Where 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
00:29:57My calls came through
00:29:59Esma saw my name and declined them
00:30:01Then turned his phone off completely
00:30:04What's the hurry?
00:30:06They can take their time picking up the body
00:30:09If he's not man enough to show up for his own divorce
00:30:11He'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?
00:30:27I need the top divorce attorney in the nation
00:30:29Make it happen
00:30:30I'm through waiting
00:30:31Your wish is my command, Your Majesty
00:30:33He'll be ready the day after tomorrow
00:30:35Back in my hotel room
00:30:36Feverish and exhausted
00:30:38Then there's the came or you quaid out
00:30:40I renamed Carrie and my contacts to Stupid Jerk
00:30:44Before passing out
00:30:50Ugh, 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
00:31:16Uncle, just marry Evelina
00:31:18Then she can stay with me forever
00:31:21Flory, it's not that simple
00:31:23Why not?
00:31:24You're the most wanted bachelor in Irith
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
00:31:33Bringing pastries to the woman who haunted her thoughts
00:31:36Sir, the data is in
00:31:36Evelina 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
00:31:44Would 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, Evelina, wake up
00:32:03Her temperature is soaring
00:32:04A healer who can't even manage her own health
00:32:07Sir, you're carrying her?
00:32:09Wait, sir, this 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
00:32:14Tell 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
00:32:33Evie, you gave us a real fright
00:32:38What'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?
00:32:46I didn't stop for your consent
00:32:48Apologies for the abruptness
00:32:49It was so scary
00:32:50My uncle carried you to safety himself
00:32:52Hold on
00:32:53Jasper carried you?
00:32:55I assumed it was Ian
00:32:56I felt my cheeks flush as Jasper looked away
00:32:58His 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
00:33:04She's right
00:33:05I'm leaving town
00:33:06And I can't leave you alone in that hotel
00:33:08Mr. Russell
00:33:08A Miss Barton has arrived to examine Miss Russell's eyes
00:33:11Esma Barton is here?
00:33:12Fine
00:33:13I'll stay
00:33:14After Flory and Christina left
00:33:16The room fell silent
00:33:21It was just Jasper and me
00:33:23Thank you
00:33:24For saving me
00:33:26You're welcome
00:33:27Rest
00:33:27Flory is happy when you're here
00:33:29I will treat Flory
00:33:32But on one condition
00:33:33Name it
00:33:34Esme Barton must make a public apology
00:33:37She used my mentor's name for fraud
00:33:39I will not allow his reputation to be tarnished
00:33:42Understood
00:33:43Anything you ask
00:33:44He walked to the door
00:33:45Then paused
00:33:48One more thing
00:33:49Margot has been arrested
00:33:52And?
00:33:53And Callie knows you're the one who reported her
00:33:55He's scouring the city for you
00:33:59I woke up feeling human again
00:34:02After charging my dead phone
00:34:04I saw it
00:34:05Over a hundred missed calls from Carrie and his mother
00:34:07I ignored them all
00:34:09But one name caught my eye
00:34:12Hey Caleb
00:34:13What's up?
00:34:14What's up?
00:34:14I'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 man
00:34:20And Tad if he's arrived hurting
00:34:22The divorce lawyer
00:34:25Caleb, I'm so sorry
00:34:27I was sick and completely forgot
00:34:28You have half an hour to get here
00:34:30Or I'm suing you for emotional distress
00:34:39I threw on some clothes and rushed downstairs
00:34:42But Flority stood in my way
00:34:44You can't go out alone, Evie
00:34:45It's either me or Uncle Jasper who goes with you
00:34:49Make your choice
00:34:51Flory, don't be absurd
00:34:52I'm not being absurd
00:34:54She needs a protector
00:34:58And that's how I ended up in the car with Jasper
00:35:00Heading to the airport
00:35:05So, who are we fetching
00:35:06For security purposes?
00:35:10My brother
00:35:11He's here to handle my divorce
00:35:13You two seem
00:35:15Close
00:35:17At the airport
00:35:18Caleb 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
00:35:29Perhaps 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
00:36:01We're a package deal
00:36:03That won't be necessary
00:36:04Mrs. Marsh is staying at my residence
00:36:05The order was given sharp and final
00:36:06Cutting through the tension like a knife
00:36:07Driver, 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
00:36:16Your niece?
00:36:18I've known Eva for a decade
00:36:19You met her last week
00:36:20The air crackled
00:36:22Evie, come on
00:36:23I came all this way for you
00:36:24Are you really gonna 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
00:36:31I answered and pressed my hand over Caleb's mouth to shut him 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
00:36:42Are you surprised?
00:36:44I felt Jasper's eyes on me
00:36:46But 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
00:36:59Who didn't show up?
00:37:01His hypocrisy was astounding
00:37:03Essie was sick, I 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
00:37:14But Caleb was still fuming
00:37:17How can he be so entitled?
00:37:19Let his sister rot in jail a little longer
00:37:20He 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
00:37:28Jasper stepped in
00:37:29You're having dinner with me and Flory at the villa
00:37:33Enough, we're going to a local place
00:37:35Now
00:37:36I made a decision
00:37:38But when we got to the restaurant
00:37:40Our problems were far from over
00:37:42I do apologize
00:37:43But we are fully booked for the evening
00:37:45Don't you have a VIP lounge for Platinum members?
00:37:49Just when I thought I could handle it
00:37:50A familiar grating voice cut through the air
00:37:54Evelana Marsh
00:37:54Trying to dine without a reservation?
00:37:57How embarrassing
00:37:58Don'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
00:38:11And tonight, the war had just begun
00:38:13The gold suite is quite expensive
00:38:15It's under standal, you wouldn't know
00:38:17Really?
00:38:18I 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
00:38:25Mr. Gibson is a fortunate man
00:38:27Having a wife who oath beautiful and sophisticated
00:38:31Carrie wanted the Platinum suite
00:38:33But unfortunately, it's off limits to the public
00:38:35Exactly
00:38:36The Platinum suite is reserved exclusively for our major shareholders
00:38:40I've only seen it opened once
00:38:43Don't be shy, Miss Marsh
00:38:45Join us for dinner
00:38:46I appreciate the offer, but I'll decline
00:38:48Don't insult our guests
00:38:50You're lowering our standards
00:38:52Security, escort these troublemakers out
00:38:55I suggest you fetch your manager
00:38:59Immediately
00:39:05We'll be dining in the Platinum suite
00:39:08That's definitely a counterfeit
00:39:09She 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
00:39:14But trying to pass off a fake card is quite appropriate
00:39:18Miss Marsh, please accept my apologies
00:39:23Your Platinum suite is prepared
00:39:25Allow me to escort you personally
00:39:27How can a housewife, an orphan, possess a Platinum card?
00:39:33Looks like you've never actually seen a Platinum card, Mrs. Barton
00:39:36You'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
00:39:47Then 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
00:39:55The audience captivated
00:39:57Her downfall was public
00:40:02Mrs. Marsh, I had no idea
00:40:04Please 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, Miss Marsh
00:40:19Eve, I almost burst out laughing back there
00:40:21Does 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?
00:40:33I just...
00:40:35Don't you think you're too old to be playing these tricks?
00:40:37No matter how old I get, I'll still be your little brother, Evie
00:40:40Yes
00:40:41You're my brother
00:40:43The only one I'll ever have
00:40:44I'll be right back
00:40:49Hey, Damien, quick thing
00:40:50What's Jasper Russell's least favorite dish?
00:40:52Jasper?
00:40:53He avoids spicy foods, why?
00:40:55Listen, we Marshes don't back down
00:40:56But even I wouldn't cross Jasper Russell
00:40:58That man's a storm
00:41:02Sir, concerning Caleb Quinn
00:41:04He's the long-lost nephew of Vivian Marsh
00:41:06The Marsh family is extremely protective of him
00:41:09They treat him like he's fragile
00:41:11Then work out how to return him to the Marsh family
00:41:14Uh, sir
00:41:16Does this have to do with Mrs. Marsh?
00:41:17Three days
00:41:19He goes back, or you're the one taking a flight
00:41:23Flashing water on my cheeks
00:41:25And rubbing my eyes
00:41:35Esme, you're here
00:41:36We kept the food warm for you
00:41:39You shouldn't have waited
00:41:40I wouldn't want to be a bother
00:41:41Miss Barton, are you okay?
00:41:43Your eyes
00:41:44You seem upset
00:41:47Oh no, it's nothing at all
00:41:49What's wrong, Esme?
00:41:50Did someone upset you?
00:41:52It's really nothing
00:41:54Not worth mentioning
00:41:55Oh my
00:41:56You'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
00:42:04Now
00:42:05That woman, Evelina
00:42:07She publicly shamed this poor lady
00:42:09Called her a disgrace
00:42:10Her again?
00:42:12First she destroys my sister's reputation
00:42:14And now she attacks Esme?
00:42:16Forget it, Carrie
00:42:17She's in the Platinum Suite
00:42:18With some companion
00:42:19She's beyond us now
00:42:22Probably some old, rich, bald man
00:42:27You have to try these, Jasper
00:42:29They're the spiciest dishes in the house
00:42:31Evie helped create the recipes
00:42:32It would be a shame to ignore her hard work
00:42:34Caleb, stop it
00:42:35We need light dishes
00:42:38Jasper has an arm injury
00:42:39And my back isn't great
00:42:40Your back is hurt?
00:42:41Show me where
00:42:42Stay seated
00:42:43And please take these away
00:42:44Bring us something less spicy
00:42:47Here, Jasper
00:42:47Drink this water
00:42:49It might ease the burn
00:42:50Take it easy
00:42:56Evie!
00:42:57Something's wrong with me too
00:42:58I'm coughing
00:42:58Check on me
00:42:59Caleb, I'm a doctor
00:43:01Your acting doesn't work on me
00:43:04Evelina!
00:43:07Evelina, really?
00:43:08We're still married
00:43:10And here you are
00:43:11Charming other men?
00:43:12Who are you?
00:43:13I'm a lawyer
00:43:14I deal with shameless people daily
00:43:16But you, sir
00:43:17Are exceptional
00:43:18Flaunting your affair
00:43:20And having the audacity
00:43:21To accuse your wife?
00:43:22Shut up!
00:43:27You claimed you were sick!
00:43:29What is this charade?
00:43:31Cozying up with your new lover?
00:43:33You deceitful slut!
00:43:36The man I'm with now
00:43:37Surpasses you in every conceivable way
00:43:39More attractive
00:43:40Wealthier
00:43:41And vastly superior in bed
00:43:44That's a lie!
00:43:46Carrie
00:43:47Have you really been with her?
00:43:49No!
00:43:49I swear I haven't laid a finger on her since our marriage
00:43:52Caught on to my deception, have you?
00:43:55Then
00:43:55Then what grounds do you have for your accusations?
00:44:00Good heavens, Callie!
00:44:01That's uncalled for!
00:44:03I'm calling the cops!
00:44:04Sure, go ahead
00:44:05That should help them investigate who got Margot to hire those kidnappers
00:44:08What?
00:44:10Are you suggesting I was involved?
00:44:12Strange, isn't it?
00:44:13Three years my marriage was fine
00:44:14Then you come along and suddenly I'm facing thugs?
00:44:17Don't forget I challenged you to heal Flory
00:44:18You had a motive to get rid of me
00:44:20She's fabricating everything!
00:44:21Ivelina, where's your evidence?
00:44:22Direct proof?
00:44:23I lack it
00:44:23Margot knows who planted the scheme in her head
00:44:25If she confesses, she could go free
00:44:26Now Callie has to choose
00:44:27His sister or his girlfriend
00:44:29You're just envious!
00:44:30Envious because Callie loves me, not you!
00:44:33Fine
00:44:34I'll leave
00:44:35If my departure will save Margot, then I'll do it
00:44:37Esme
00:44:38Don't blame yourself
00:44:39You won't face this alone
00:44:41What about Margot?
00:44:42Evelina seems so unyielding
00:44:44Evelina
00:44:45Have you thought about how this will affect my grandmother?
00:44:48What is your angle?
00:44:49What do you want?
00:44:50Everything but marriage is on the table
00:44:53Oh really?
00:44:54I'll take everything you own
00:44:56Are you prepared to hand that over?
00:44:58You're pushing your luck, Evelina
00:45:00Tomorrow, 8am, the courthouse
00:45:02Be 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
00:45:11I know who the real Sightwilter is
00:45:14And it's not Esme
00:45:15You're lying!
00:45:17You're just a housewife!
00:45:18What 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
00:45:27And they responded with contempt
00:45:29Margot 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
00:45:38Why weren't they trembling?
00:45:40Evelina sets her own place
00:45:42She signals when she wants my intervention
00:45:44Evelina now?
00:45:46Has she granted you that privilege?
00:45:49You've been calling me Jasper
00:45:50I thought I'd level the familiarity
00:45:53Caleb, focus on your meal
00:45:56Join in, Jasper
00:45:58It was a scene of utter chaos
00:46:00One I had grown accustomed to with Caleb around
00:46:03Evie, save me!
00:46:04These brutes are dragging me away!
00:46:07Jasper, you handle him well
00:46:09It's about time someone did
00:46:12But the calm of the evening
00:46:14Was shattered the next morning
00:46:20Mrs. Marsh, come quickly!
00:46:22Mr. Russell is very sick!
00:46:26Evie!
00:46:27Uncle's fever is dangerously high
00:46:29He had something bad to eat last night
00:46:30He's allergic to most medicine
00:46:31His condition is from his diet
00:46:34Spicy or heavily seasoned foods are like poison to him
00:46:37The spicy meal
00:46:38Caleb ordered it
00:46:40I knew Jasper didn't like it
00:46:41But I didn't know it was this severe
00:46:44We've tried everything non-medical to cool him down
00:46:46But nothing is working
00:46:49Then we need a more radical approach
00:46:51Mrs. Marsh, your method is unknown and far too risky
00:46:54If something happens to Mr. Russell
00:46:56Evie, 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
00:47:04I will dedicate my life to his care
00:47:06Now, fetch me ice and the strongest alcohol you can find
00:47:10I approached his bed
00:47:12My mind racing, but my purpose clear
00:47:15Wait
00:47:16You're taking off everything?
00:47:21His... his whole body needs to be cooled
00:47:26His shirt fell open
00:47:28Revealed his sculpted chest
00:47:29I quickly regained my composure and called for help
00:47:32You too
00:47:33Wipe his arms and hands with ice
00:47:35Dab alcohol on his chest, back, and limbs
00:47:38Every hour
00:47:45You're being too rough
00:47:46Stop
00:47:48I couldn't let them hurt him
00:47:49I pushed them aside and took the bloth myself
00:47:53This had to be my responsibility
00:47:57Evie, his fee is gone
00:47:58You saved him
00:47:59I don't know what we would have done without you
00:48:01Ms. Marsh, I am so sorry
00:48:02I never should have doubted your methods
00:48:03I am so sorry
00:48:04Alright, no worries
00:48:05His apology barely registered
00:48:06All I could feel was the immense relief that Jasper was safe
00:48:14Uncle, you almost gave me a heart attack
00:48:17We are so lucky Evie was here
00:48:20Jasper, here
00:48:21You need to drink this
00:48:22Evie made it
00:48:23It's a special herbal tea
00:48:24A 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 bruise?
00:48:32Thank you, really
00:48:32Jasper, since you're feeling better
00:48:34I have a favor to ask
00:48:35Please don't hold Kale's antics against him
00:48:37He means well
00:48:37Is that why you did all this?
00:48:39To plead his case?
00:48:41No, of course not
00:48:42I just...
00:48:43The promise was given
00:48:44But the coldness in his eyes sent a shiver down my spine
00:48:48Thank you, Jasper
00:48:48Still, I was grateful
00:48:49Uncle, Evie just saved your life
00:48:51Don't you think maybe you should marry her?
00:48:54Evelana, you saw him at his weakest
00:48:55That makes you responsible for him now
00:48:56Flory's words were light
00:48:58But they triggered something deep inside me
00:48:59A sudden, dreadful feeling
00:49:01Washed something crucial
00:49:02Is it lunch?
00:49:03You must be hungry
00:49:09The courthouse
00:49:10My 8am appointment
00:49:13I missed my divorce wearing with Carrie
00:49:15The air in the lawyer's office was thick
00:49:16With a tension only money and betrayal could buy
00:49:18Carrie couldn't stand still
00:49:20And then Esme made her entrance
00:49:21A serpent in silk
00:49:22Carrie, don't be angry
00:49:23I'm sure something sure came up
00:49:24But she wouldn't do this on purpose
00:49:25Urgent?
00:49:26She stays home all day
00:49:27Can Iwanda's two methods?
00:49:28You saw her last night
00:49:28It 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
00:49:34She saw her opening
00:49:36The predator sensing weakness
00:49:38Leave Margot to me
00:49:39My brother Sebastian is back in town
00:49:41He has connections
00:49:42He can get her released
00:49:44When I finally managed to call
00:49:45It wasn't Carly who answered
00:49:47You've got some nerve calling me
00:49:49Do you think your pathetic little tricks
00:49:50Will stop this divorce?
00:49:51Put Carly on
00:49:52Keep dreaming
00:49:53He's disgusted with you
00:49:54He 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
00:50:00Because of you
00:50:00Do you want to be the reason
00:50:02She ends up in a hospital bed?
00:50:04She hung up
00:50:05Every word was a lie
00:50:06Carefully scripted by her brother
00:50:07Who was right beside her
00:50:08Think that'll do it?
00:50:09Will that woman finally let Margot go?
00:50:12I did my research
00:50:13She's an orphan raised on loyalty
00:50:14Carrie's grandmother was kind to her
00:50:16She won't stomach the idea
00:50:17Of that old woman suffering
00:50:17Girls like her
00:50:18Give them a shred of kindness
00:50:19And they'll sacrifice everything
00:50:20Pathetic
00:50:21She will break
00:50:22She'll get Margot released
00:50:23And Carrie will think we orchestrated it
00:50:24He'll be grateful
00:50:25He'll trust you completely
00:50:26And soon enough
00:50:27I will officially become Mrs. Gibson
00:50:28Demi isn't feeling well
00:50:30And neither are you
00:50:30Your back injury hasn't fully healed
00:50:32You just recovered from an illness
00:50:34And you've spent the whole morning
00:50:35Taking care of me
00:50:36Do you think you're unstoppable?
00:50:37Sit down
00:50:38Eat first
00:50:38Ian will take you there later
00:50:40You better listen to Uncle Jasper
00:50:42He's terrifying when he's upset
00:50:43If Demi's condition were severe
00:50:45Her family would have taken her
00:50:46To a hospital by now
00:50:47Since she's still at the estate
00:50:49It's unlikely to be urgent
00:50:50A short delay won't change much
00:50:52Eat something first
00:50:54If Demi sees you pale and exhausted
00:50:56It'll only add to her stress
00:50:57Which could make her feel worse
00:51:00Jasper, this is way too much
00:51:01If it's too much
00:51:03Share with me
00:51:05Uncle Jasper only looks after you now
00:51:07He don't even serve me food anymore
00:51:10Even with your mouth full
00:51:11You still find a way to chatter, huh?
00:51:15Jasper, this is way too much
00:51:17If it's too much
00:51:18Share with me
00:51:19Uncle Jasper only looks after you now
00:51:21He don't even serves me food anymore
00:51:25Even with your mouth full
00:51:26You still find a way to chatter, huh?
00:51:35Mrs. Gibson has made it clear
00:51:36You are not welcome
00:51:37Here, leave now
00:51:38Or we'll have to throw you out
00:51:39Please contact Asha
00:51:40He'll let me in
00:51:41I promise this won't cause trouble for you
00:51:44Asha is busy tending to Mrs. Demi Gibson
00:51:46No one has time for the likes of you
00:51:48You wretched woman
00:51:49What did you just say?
00:51:51Care to repeat that?
00:51:53Well said
00:51:54You had my daughter locked up
00:51:56And now you dare show your face here?
00:51:58I only came to check on Demi
00:52:00Who do you think you are?
00:52:01You have no right to see her
00:52:03Bring a broom and chase her out
00:52:05Let's see if she ever dares step foot here again
00:52:08Annoying
00:52:13Who did that?
00:52:14Who dares lay a hand on one of our household workers?
00:52:16Mr. Russell
00:52:17What brings you here?
00:52:18I heard Demi was ill and came to visit
00:52:20But it seems there isn't presence in welcome
00:52:21Ms. Marsh, let's go
00:52:22No, of course you're always welcome here
00:52:23Anywhere in the room
00:52:24Mrs. Marsh is a valued guest of the Russell family
00:52:26Insulting her is the same as insulting us
00:52:28Apologize
00:52:28Ian knew they couldn't afford to let us walk away
00:52:30Just as we turned to leave
00:52:32My former mother-in-law came running
00:52:33Mr. Russell, please wait
00:52:35I'll apologize
00:52:36I'll do it right now
00:52:37Then do it properly
00:52:39I'm sorry
00:52:40Is that how you apologize?
00:52:42Are 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
00:52:50Ms. Marsh, I apologize
00:52:52My actions were incorrect
00:52:53Who bowed deeply before give me
00:52:55You expect me to bow to you like that?
00:52:57I am your mother-in-law
00:52:58It is unseemly for you to demand this
00:53:01Actually, you are no longer my mother-in-law
00:53:03And considering the ordeal you put me through for three years
00:53:05An apology is exactly what you owe me
00:53:09Mrs. Gibson, we're leaving
00:53:10You don't have to apologize
00:53:12But I must warn you
00:53:13The future of the Gibson group could look quite grim
00:53:18Just as she was about to break
00:53:19Mom, what are you doing?
00:53:21My ex-husband Carrie rushed in
00:53:23Carrie!
00:53:24This is the most shameful day of my life
00:53:27I can't bear to live with this disgrace
00:53:31Evelina, how dare you come into our home and bully my mother?
00:53:34Are you seeking your own ruin?
00:53:35Bullying?
00:53:36Your mother insulted a respected guest of the Russell family
00:53:38I simply requested an apology
00:53:40It seems the Gibson family is courting disaster
00:53:42He didn't dare challenge the Russells
00:53:44So he turned all his venom on me
00:53:45Kneel before my mother!
00:53:46Why aren't you on your knees apologizing?
00:53:48Remember, you are the reason for today's debacle
00:53:50He looked down at me
00:53:51His voice dripping with the same arrogance I once found charming
00:53:53Is that what you want?
00:53:54For me to beg?
00:53:55But I was no longer the woman who would be intimidated
00:53:56No, you are the one who will kneel and beg for forgiveness
00:53:59He sneered
00:53:59So 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
00:54:10Was I too kind to you?
00:54:12Have you forgotten the scorn you faced when you were blind?
00:54:14Your mother wept, your sister abandoned you, and your uncle seized
00:54:16I 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
00:54:22Don't take a cold lightly at your age
00:54:24Demi was the only one in this house with a shred of decency
00:54:26You truly look after me
00:54:28No one else in this family does
00:54:29Don't be fooled by her facade
00:54:30She 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
00:54:37My poor Margot
00:54:39Who grew up in comfort is suffering like never before
00:54:43Margot is at the police station?
00:54:45What happened?
00:54:46Margot is just a child
00:54:48Evelina accused her of orchestrating a kidnapping
00:54:51The truth is, Evelina probably got tangled up with criminals herself
00:54:55Mrs. Gibson!
00:54:57How can you stand there and lie?
00:54:59Hayden Reed, delivered and his entire crew have precision
00:55:03Is a weapon Elra could never comprehend
00:55:05It was Margot who told them to abduct Miss Marsh
00:55:09That is why she was arrested
00:55:13Mom, just let it be
00:55:14The living room felt suffocating
00:55:16Thick with unspoken resentment
00:55:17I watched as Carrie tried to mediate
00:55:20A hopeless task
00:55:21Your fault!
00:55:22You raised a child who would dare do this to Evelina
00:55:24You hit me?
00:55:26For her?
00:55:27My dear Evelina
00:55:29You've suffered so much injustice in this family
00:55:32Grandma, this isn't on my mom
00:55:33It's all-
00:55:34All what?
00:55:34Would you be this calm if Margot had been abducted?
00:55:37Demi!
00:55:38Margot is your granddaughter
00:55:40You can't just let her rot in jail
00:55:42She 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
00:55:50You're too kind, my dear
00:55:52After 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
00:55:58The silence in the room was a heavy blanket
00:56:00You're not Mr. Russell, aren't you?
00:56:02Indeed, Mrs. Gibson
00:56:02I am Ian Payne, Mr. Russell's aide
00:56:04Miss Russell is a friend of Miss Marsh
00:56:06And asked me to escort her
00:56:06It's no wonder
00:56:07It seems everyone Evelina meets becomes a friend
00:56:09When will Callie open his eyes and win you back?
00:56:10Her words hung in the air
00:56:11A future she desired for me
00:56:12Demi, Margot isn't inherently evil
00:56:15I suspect him orchestrated this
00:56:16You must watch out for her
00:56:17But my warning to Demi would have to wait
00:56:19As I left the Gibson estate
00:56:20I found I wasn't alone
00:56:21I see right through you now
00:56:23All your manipulations
00:56:24Your deceitful tactics
00:56:25They're just a ploy to extract money
00:56:27Carrie, let's just finalize the divorce
00:56:29I won't be fooled
00:56:30The initial divorce terms are cancelled
00:56:33Whether you sign this or not
00:56:34I'm pushing forward
00:56:41He's clawing back a settlement
00:56:43That wouldn't even buy you a decent handbag
00:56:45That monster
00:56:46His actions are beyond forgiveness
00:56:48I'm going to confront him myself
00:56:50And his grandmother still thinks
00:56:51He has a chance to reconcile with you
00:56:53He wouldn't have a chance
00:56:54Not in a million years
00:56:56Evelina is part of the Russell family now
00:56:58And nobody else is
00:57:00What Russell family?
00:57:01She's my family
00:57:02And that's final
00:57:02Nonsense!
00:57:04Evelina is mine!
00:57:05Enough, both of you
00:57:06Flory, remember her injuries
00:57:08Evelina, what's your plan?
00:57:11I suspect this is Esma's handiwork
00:57:13They think they can use money
00:57:14As a weapon against me
00:57:16They're wrong
00:57:17Caleb, draft a bill for Carrie
00:57:19Four surgeries
00:57:20Twenty million total
00:57:22Consider it done
00:57:23Also, inform him
00:57:24I'll drop the criminal charges
00:57:25Against Margot
00:57:26In exchange for
00:57:27Ten million in compensation
00:57:28Evelina, only ten million?
00:57:30You could demand a billion from them
00:57:32Do you really think
00:57:33The Gibson group
00:57:33Could find a billion?
00:57:35I made a call to my assistant
00:57:37It was time to cut them off completely
00:57:39Lena, we will no longer offer
00:57:40The Gibson fam discounted raw materials
00:57:42Market rates from now on
00:57:44Furthermore, our brands
00:57:45Will stop overpaying for their products
00:57:47Let's see how they fare
00:57:49Without my support
00:57:49Mr. Gibson, terrible news
00:57:51The cost of our raw materials
00:57:53Has tripled overnight
00:57:54Our clients are only offering
00:57:56To pay half of what they used to
00:57:58And sir
00:57:58The Sightwander has issued us
00:58:00A bill for twenty million
00:58:01A bill from the Sightwaiver?
00:58:08Esme, aren't you the Sightwaiver?
00:58:15I activated my voice changer
00:58:18Yes, who's speaking?
00:58:20Good day, I'm Esme Barton
00:58:21A junior to the Sightwalker
00:58:23Could you connect me with her please?
00:58:24This is the Sightwalker
00:58:25It's an honor
00:58:26I've heard so much about you
00:58:28My mentor never had a student
00:58:30Named Esme Barton
00:58:32Well, not formally
00:58:33But I attended his lectures
00:58:35Let's just say I'm your junior
00:58:36Skip the pretenses
00:58:37What do you want?
00:58:39I need your help
00:58:39An ophthalmology surgery in three days
00:58:42Could you please oversee my work?
00:58:44I'm not available
00:58:44What if I compensate you generously?
00:58:47Everyone has a price
00:58:48I'm not interested in your money
00:58:50Six million
00:58:51For one session
00:58:52Would that change your mind?
00:58:53Seven million
00:58:54Ten million
00:58:55That's everything I have
00:58:56You charge the Russell family
00:58:58Fifty million for that surgery
00:59:00That's a fabrication
00:59:01I never
00:59:07Caleb, ignore any more calls from her
00:59:09She needs to think
00:59:10Understood
00:59:10But Evelina
00:59:12Isn't today your shooting practice?
00:59:14Shooting practice?
00:59:15Why would I do that?
00:59:16The contest with Idris
00:59:17From the ghost market
00:59:18To find your biological parents
00:59:20Remember?
00:59:29When is the contest?
00:59:31Tomorrow
00:59:32Idris is an acclaimed marksman
00:59:34You have to out-shoot him
00:59:38Relax, Evelina
00:59:39I've trained diligently
00:59:40With a national champion
00:59:41My aim won't let you down
00:59:44We'll give it our all
00:59:45That's all we can do
00:59:55Your best won't cut it
00:59:56My dear Evelina
00:59:58You've grown even more captivating
01:00:01And don't forget our little bet
01:00:03If you lose
01:00:04You'll be my girlfriend
01:00:05For an entire month
01:00:07You tricked us!
01:00:08We agreed to bring trusted associates
01:00:10Not a champion shooter
01:00:11My bodyguard is my most reliable person
01:00:14Nothing unfair there
01:00:15The deal was you'd have one month to try
01:00:17Winning me over, Idris
01:00:18Nothing more
01:00:21Isn't it practically the same thing?
01:00:24I'm determined you'll be mine, Evelina
01:00:27Unbelievable!
01:00:28At nearly 50
01:00:30You're still eyeing her?
01:00:31Perhaps Evelina prefers someone skilled
01:00:34We older men
01:00:36Understand how to cherish a woman
01:00:38It appears you have some pending loans
01:00:41With 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
01:01:04Place 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
01:01:12She hasn't consented to anything
01:01:14Good to hear
01:01:15So I still have a chance to be the first
01:01:17It's been a long time since your last big win
01:01:19You've been a nanny, not a shooter
01:01:21Why not just concede?
01:01:22Lose gracefully
01:01:23And I'll help find your parents
01:01:25If you agree to be my girlfriend
01:01:27Miss Marsh scores a perfect 10
01:01:29Mr. Cortez, 9
01:01:31Yes!
01:01:32Evelina'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
01:01:46This is the final, crucial shot
01:01:49Go Evelina, you're the best!
01:01:52Just so you know, Ms. Marsh
01:01:54forget about Mr. Russell
01:01:56He's engaged
01:01:57What?
01:01:58To Aurora Marsh
01:01:59The Marsh family heiress
01:02:01His fiancée
01:02:02You!
01:02:03Now 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
01:02:16I've already reserved a table for our date, Evelina
01:02:19And perhaps after dinner
01:02:21We can extend the evening to a hotel
01:02:26Mr. Russell!
01:02:31Why the sudden violence?
01:02:34You're in debt to me
01:02:37Isn't that reason enough?
01:02:40Flori sent me to see how you're doing
01:02:44I'm alright, thank you
01:02:47Evelina
01:02:47I have to head back to Irith
01:02:49An emergency with a case
01:02:51You're just leaving?
01:02:53What about our match?
01:02:55You should go, Caleb
01:02:56Handle your business
01:02:58My security will take you to the airport
01:03:00Now
01:03:00After Caleb left, I stood alone
01:03:03Ready to continue the competition by myself
01:03:06We agreed on partners
01:03:08You can't compete twice
01:03:10Just 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
01:03:30It'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
01:03:37Joining at this stage
01:03:39That doesn't seem proper
01:03:40You said each contestant could pick their most trusted partner
01:03:44Well, I am her choice now
01:03:45What's the matter?
01:03:47Are you scared?
01:03:48You might as well concede defeat
01:03:50You have a fiancé, Mr. Russell
01:03:52Aren't you concerned about upsetting Aurora Marsh?
01:03:55Mr. Russell
01:03:56Aren'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
01:04:11Everyone 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
01:04:20Never binding
01:04:21I was just blabbering
01:04:22A terrible habit
01:04:23Try 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
01:04:29Fine
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
01:04:36Mr. Russell, that's impossible
01:04:38Please, something less extreme
01:04:40Jasper, perhaps we could ease up on her
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
01:05:02You were only 21 rings short, Idris
01:05:05Just a bit more practice needed
01:05:06Idris
01:05:07You remember our agreement
01:05:09Fine
01:05:10I'll help you locate your parents
01:05:12But in return
01:05:15I want the starry night earrings
01:05:18The earrings Carely bought for Esma?
01:05:20The ones that cost 300 million?
