Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I was kicked out by the Reed family, who had raised me for 23 years, simply because they just found
00:00:06their biological daughter Sylvia.
00:00:09And my adoptive mother blamed all faults on me.
00:00:12Elena, our family has given you everything for the past 23 years, yet this is how you repay us.
00:00:17Such ingratitude! Gather your things and return to that run-down village to find your real parents.
00:00:21Mom, don't be mad.
00:00:23I'm sure Elena didn't mean any harm.
00:00:25She's just struggling to accept that your love and dads belong to me now.
00:00:29Please don't hold it against her.
00:00:31She's the imposter, the one who stole the life meant for you.
00:00:35While you suffered all these years, she basked in wealth and privilege.
00:00:39It's only right that she faces the consequences.
00:00:43Benjamin Reed, my adoptive father, also looked at me with distaste.
00:00:48He accused me of trying to scar Sylvia's face and told me to pack my things immediately and returned to
00:00:54Cloudstream Village.
00:00:55To think you'd be capable of such cruelty trying to scar Sylvia's face.
00:01:00With a heart as wicked as yours, you don't deserve to stay in Foytlunds.
00:01:03I've already sent for your real parents.
00:01:05Get your belongings together and prepare to return to Cloudstream Village immediately.
00:01:09Two months ago, they discovered my blood type was RH negative.
00:01:13Proof that I wasn't their daughter.
00:01:17After that, they found their biological child, Sylvia.
00:01:21Now, they discard me like something of no use.
00:01:24Elena, you don't want to return to that isolated village, do you?
00:01:27It's understandable.
00:01:28No one willingly trades comfort for hardship.
00:01:30You've enjoyed the luxury of being a Reed, while your real family have barely managed to earn a living.
00:01:35The contrast must be overwhelming.
00:01:36Without another word, I turned and walked upstairs, stuffing a few outfits and accessories into a bag.
00:01:42When I came down, Sylvia's minor injury had already been neatly wrapped.
00:01:45She told me that next month, she and Darren Griffiths would have their engagement party.
00:01:49Oh, Elena, next month is Darren and I's engagement party.
00:01:52Even though you'll be back in that remote village, I hope you'll attend.
00:01:55Darren had been my childhood sweetheart, my once promised fiancé.
00:01:58But ever since Sylvia returned, his attitude had shifted.
00:02:01Seeing him for what he truly was, I had also lost interest.
00:02:04You and Darren grew up together, but now he belongs to me.
00:02:06Elena, you're not upset, are you?
00:02:08It's shocking that even garbage can have admirers.
00:02:11If you want him, he's yours.
00:02:13I don't make a habit of collecting trash.
00:02:14You're actually doing me a favor.
00:02:16You!
00:02:21Mom, Elena must still have feelings for Darren.
00:02:24Otherwise, why would she say that?
00:02:26Elena wouldn't dare.
00:02:27Not after she has stolen your identity.
00:02:30Someone like her, hailing from a humble background, wouldn't even be worthy to serve Darren.
00:02:35Let alone becoming his fiancé.
00:02:37Darren was the Griffiths' only son.
00:02:39And his family wasn't just the wealthiest in Folklunds, but also ranked among Clathy's elite.
00:02:44I grew up with Darren, naturally leading to our engagement.
00:02:47When the truth surfaced that I wasn't truly a Reed, he turned his back on me.
00:02:51Not only did he end our betrothal immediately, but he also got involved with Sylvie.
00:02:55I want nothing from the Reed family, including a fiancé of your choosing.
00:02:59If you don't care about anything from this family, then open your bag and prove it.
00:03:03Don't act like you don't want anything while secretly taking things with you.
00:03:06Exactly.
00:03:06Your village is dirt poor.
00:03:08Stealing even one piece of our jewelry could feed your family for years.
00:03:11I don't think you can steal from the Reed family to support those rural parents of yours.
00:03:15Sylvia stormed forward and yanked my bag open.
00:03:17An emerald necklace tumbled out.
00:03:20She immediately started shouting,
00:03:21Isn't this the necklace my mom gave me?
00:03:23How did it end up in your bag?
00:03:25You filthy thief!
00:03:26Do you know what you've done?
00:03:27This piece was designed by the world-famous Helena Waltz.
00:03:29I paid five million for it!
00:03:30You truly are nothing more than a Huck's daughter!
00:03:32I'm calling the police!
00:03:33Mom, don't be too harsh.
00:03:35Helena must have really liked the necklace and took it without asking.
00:03:38Since she wants it so badly, I won't argue over it.
00:03:42Not only did she steal your life, but now she wants a five million dollar luxury necklace?
00:03:45If we let her off, she'll bring nothing but disgrace to the Reed family.
00:03:49This line of Helena's limited trended ones was,
00:03:51Each with a unique pseudomark.
00:03:52We'll have to report this to the authorities.
00:03:54Mom, if you involve the police, Elena will end up in prison.
00:03:58Won't that destroy her reputation?
00:03:59A thief like her belongs behind bars.
00:04:02She needs to learn her lesson.
00:04:03It'd be best if she rotted in jail forever,
00:04:05sparing the Reed family from any future humiliation.
00:04:12After I called them mom and dad for 23 years,
00:04:15they now truly wanted me to struggle behind bars.
00:04:19Whatever affection I had left for the Reeds completely vanished.
00:04:24Call the authorities.
00:04:25If I didn't steal it, how will you compensate me?
00:04:32How is this possible?
00:04:33I bought number nine.
00:04:34Why is this number one?
00:04:36Impossible.
00:04:37This is the number one prototype, priceless.
00:04:40Where did you get it?
00:04:40It was nothing more than a design I had created on a whim.
00:04:43It's mine.
00:04:44If you won't call the police, I'll leave now.
00:04:47You'll regret this!
00:04:50We'll see.
00:04:52With my bag over my shoulder,
00:04:54I stepped outside and spotted an old car at the entrance.
00:04:56A man stepped out and addressed me with great respect.
00:05:04Miss Harper, sorry I'm late.
00:05:06No helipath available, so I used this car.
00:05:08I hope you don't mind.
00:05:10Where are my parents?
00:05:12I'm your chauffeur, Declan.
00:05:14Your grandmother is ill, so your parents sent me.
00:05:19Look at that junk.
00:05:21Her real parents are so poor.
00:05:24Mrs. Reed, this is a thank you gift.
00:05:26Please accept it.
00:05:28No need.
00:05:28Leave.
00:05:29Take it and leave.
00:05:31Are you certain?
00:05:33Take it and leave.
00:05:35Declan hesitated, recalling his employer's instructions.
00:05:38The boxes in the trunk contained deeds to 23 properties,
00:05:4023 high-end jewelry pieces,
00:05:4223 luxury car keys,
00:05:44and a bank card with a balanced $200 million.
00:05:46To thank the 23 years the Reed family had spent raising me.
00:05:49But she refused.
00:05:53Wasn't it from Helena's exclusive jewelry line?
00:05:56No, that couldn't be possible.
00:05:58It had to be an empty case.
00:05:59There was no way it actually contained jewelry from Helena's collection.
00:06:04Declan couldn't stop himself from stealing glances at my face,
00:06:07which bore an uncanny resemblance to my mother's.
00:06:10I had delicate, mesmerizing features,
00:06:12deep expressive eyes,
00:06:13and a naturally flawless complexion.
00:06:15My composed and distant nature
00:06:16strongly echoed that of my biological mother, Jolie Harper.
00:06:20My striking appearance left everyone captivated.
00:06:22Soon, the vehicle pulled to a halt in front of a private aircraft.
00:06:26Declan stepped out and guided me aboard.
00:06:28The surroundings were extravagantly luxurious,
00:06:32and it was becoming clear that my birth parents
00:06:34were far more remarkable than I had envisioned.
00:06:42I turned toward the direction we were flying,
00:06:45and suddenly spoke.
00:06:47This route leads to Clothie,
00:06:49not Cloudstream Village.
00:06:50Oh, right, Miss Harper.
00:06:52Your family resides in Clothie.
00:06:54The mountains in Cloudstream Village
00:06:56are part of your family's property.
00:06:57Your mother traveled to see you.
00:06:58However, she unexpectedly went into labor
00:07:00upon reaching Folklands.
00:07:01She had to deliver at the closest hospital,
00:07:03where a fire broke out.
00:07:04She was told her child died,
00:07:05but she swore she heard a baby's cries
00:07:07and never stopped believing her daughter was alive.
00:07:09Ever since, your parents have been traveling
00:07:10between Folklands and Clothie in search of you.
00:07:12As the plane touched down,
00:07:14I caught sight of an imposing estate
00:07:15with elegant architecture,
00:07:17its walls draped in vibrant blossoms.
00:07:19To my knowledge,
00:07:20there was only one estate like this in Clothie,
00:07:22Hillside Manor.
00:07:23It was so prestigious
00:07:24that only the most influential figures
00:07:26in the city could own it.
00:07:30Elena, my daughter!
00:07:32I'm your mother!
00:07:33Now that our daughter has returned,
00:07:35I looked at the two standing before me.
00:07:37A wonderful feeling of joy
00:07:38washes over me.
00:07:39I was almost certain
00:07:40I had seen his face in a magazine before.
00:07:42Elena,
00:07:43we are your real parents.
00:07:45We've spent years
00:07:47scowing Cloudstream Village,
00:07:48never realizing you were in Folklands.
00:07:50We regret that it took this long to find you.
00:07:55Are you Alexander Harpert?
00:07:58I suddenly recalled that the man before me,
00:08:00Alexander,
00:08:01was one of the three wealthiest figures
00:08:03on Clothie's rankings.
00:08:05Elena,
00:08:05do you know your father before this meeting?
00:08:08I've come across his name in articles.
00:08:10You've been through so much.
00:08:12There's 10 million on this.
00:08:13It's my gift to you.
00:08:15This is from me.
00:08:16Another 10 million.
00:08:18This set alone was valued
00:08:19at no less than 50 million.
00:08:21I was momentarily stunned.
00:08:23My birth parents were offering me
00:08:25extravagant gifts the first time we met,
00:08:27whereas the Reed family
00:08:28had always disregarded me
00:08:30and never even bought me
00:08:31a simple trinket.
00:08:32My darling,
00:08:33you're finally home.
00:08:34I've longed for this moment for years.
00:08:36The warmth of the embrace
00:08:37left me uncertain.
00:08:38Was this how parents
00:08:39were supposed to be?
00:08:40My mother's embrace
00:08:41was so comforting,
00:08:42something Ceasley had never offered.
00:08:43It became clear
00:08:44that my biological parents
00:08:45were nothing like the Reed's.
00:08:46Let's get in first.
00:08:47As the trio stepped
00:08:48into the magnificent estate,
00:08:49I noticed a girl around my age.
00:08:51You must be Elena, right?
00:08:53I'm Elise Harper.
00:08:55This estate is vast,
00:08:56so if you ever need anything
00:08:58or feel lost,
00:08:59don't hesitate to ask me.
00:09:01No need for formalities.
00:09:02This is your home too.
00:09:03I immediately felt irritated.
00:09:05Why would I need
00:09:05to be formal with Elise?
00:09:07This was my rightful home.
00:09:08I noted that her earlier expression
00:09:10had been anything but welcoming,
00:09:11and her words carried
00:09:13the same and sincere tone
00:09:14as Sylvia's.
00:09:14That won't be necessary.
00:09:17Jolie gently squeezed my hand,
00:09:19explaining that Elise
00:09:20was my aunt's daughter,
00:09:21whose parents passed away
00:09:23when she was young,
00:09:24so they took her in.
00:09:25Aside from Elise,
00:09:27I have three elder brothers
00:09:28who can't wait to meet me.
00:09:30Come on.
00:09:30Let's get you some things
00:09:31you'll love tomorrow.
00:09:34At Uchison Mall,
00:09:35Jolie held my hand
00:09:36and headed straight
00:09:37to the jewelry boutique
00:09:38on the fifth floor.
00:09:39It was the only
00:09:41Helena jewelry
00:09:41flagship store
00:09:42in the country.
00:09:45Do you like any of these?
00:09:49I examined them.
00:09:50They were my own
00:09:51recent designs.
00:09:54Yes, I do.
00:09:57Mom, isn't that
00:09:58Elena over there?
00:09:59The jewelry here
00:10:00starts at a fortune
00:10:01and she doesn't have a dime.
00:10:02How could she possibly
00:10:03afford it?
00:10:04Could she have found herself
00:10:05a wealthy benefactor?
00:10:06Just our luck.
00:10:07We introduced her
00:10:08to decent men before,
00:10:09but she turned them all down.
00:10:11She must have found
00:10:12that destitute village
00:10:13unbearable
00:10:13and resorted to being
00:10:15a kept woman.
00:10:16She's nothing but
00:10:17an embarrassment
00:10:18to the Reed family.
00:10:21Elena,
00:10:22do you even know
00:10:24where you are?
00:10:25This isn't a place
00:10:26for broke bumpkins
00:10:27like you.
00:10:28If you too can be here,
00:10:30why can't I?
00:10:32Oh, come on, Elena.
00:10:33The cheapest piece here
00:10:34costs at least a million.
00:10:36Have you forgotten
00:10:37you're no longer
00:10:37part of the Reed family?
00:10:38Your real parents
00:10:39are struggling
00:10:40to make a living.
00:10:41Nothing here
00:10:42is within your reach.
00:10:43That woman doesn't
00:10:44have the money
00:10:44for anything here.
00:10:45You shouldn't waste
00:10:46your time entertaining her.
00:10:48Just get rid of her already.
00:10:50Can't you tell
00:10:50she's out of place?
00:10:51She's ruining
00:10:52our shopping experience.
00:10:55Before the clerk
00:10:56could say anything,
00:10:57Sylvia suddenly
00:10:57snatched the ruby pendant
00:10:59from my grasp.
00:11:03Elena,
00:11:04how could you be so clumsy?
00:11:05You couldn't even
00:11:06hold on to it properly.
00:11:07If you can't afford something,
00:11:08you shouldn't be touching it.
00:11:09Now that it's damaged,
00:11:10how do you plan
00:11:10to pay for it?
00:11:11Do you think
00:11:11everyone here is blind?
00:11:13Sylvia scratched the pendant
00:11:14and now you're trying
00:11:14to pin it on me?
00:11:15You do realize
00:11:16there are surveillance cameras,
00:11:17right?
00:11:17Elena,
00:11:18you were the one
00:11:18who broke it.
00:11:19Don't try to twist the truth.
00:11:20Is this how we raised you?
00:11:22If you admit your mistake now,
00:11:24I might reconsider
00:11:25and let you stay in Folklands.
00:11:27Otherwise,
00:11:28you can kiss city goodbye
00:11:29and rot in that
00:11:30backwater village forever.
00:11:31Some people never seem
00:11:32to learn until
00:11:32it's already too late.
00:11:34My composed demeanor
00:11:35and scornful look
00:11:36instantly infuriated Cecily.
00:11:38Elena,
00:11:38you ungrateful...
00:11:40I'll give you two options.
00:11:42Buy it
00:11:42or involve the police.
00:11:44Um,
00:11:44Elena isn't gonna back down
00:11:46and she certainly
00:11:46can't purchase it.
00:11:47We should just buy it.
00:11:48How much is it?
00:11:49We'll take it.
00:11:49It's just a little ruby.
00:11:51Our Reed family
00:11:52isn't lacking.
00:11:5350 million.
00:11:54What?
00:11:54What did you just say?
00:11:5550 million.
00:11:56Would you like
00:11:56to proceed with the card?
00:11:58Cecily's arrogance
00:11:59disappeared instantly,
00:12:00her eyes widening in shock.
00:12:01She had only 5 million
00:12:03in her account,
00:12:03which Benjamin had allocated
00:12:05solely for Sylvia's
00:12:06engagement ceremony
00:12:07with Darren.
00:12:07There was no way
00:12:08she could come up
00:12:09with 50 million.
00:12:10Madam,
00:12:10how are we supposed
00:12:11to process the transaction
00:12:12if you don't release the card?
00:12:13Or perhaps the account
00:12:14doesn't have sufficient funds.
00:12:15Elena,
00:12:16you ungrateful ret!
00:12:17You scheming slut!
00:12:18You orchestrated this!
00:12:19Madam,
00:12:20watch your language.
00:12:21You damaged the jewelry first
00:12:22and then insulted Elena.
00:12:23Your arrogance
00:12:24and this unreasonable display,
00:12:25are you trying to intimidate us?
00:12:27Madam,
00:12:27don't be fooled by her.
00:12:28She's inherently rude,
00:12:29during which she's been
00:12:30nothing but trouble.
00:12:31Now,
00:12:31as my family's company
00:12:32prepares to partner
00:12:33with the Harper family,
00:12:34she shamelessly insists
00:12:35on staying with us,
00:12:36refusing to go back
00:12:36to her shabby home.
00:12:37Enough!
00:12:38The partnership
00:12:38with the Reed family
00:12:39had been her idea,
00:12:40initially intended
00:12:41as a way to repay them
00:12:42for raising me.
00:12:42She never expected them
00:12:43to treat me so poorly.
00:12:45The collaboration
00:12:46between the Reed family
00:12:47and the Harper family
00:12:48is hereby terminated.
00:12:50Do you think you can
00:12:51just cancel the collaboration
00:12:52like this?
00:12:53Who do you think you are?
00:12:55I had no intention
00:12:56of allowing them
00:12:56a graceful exit.
00:12:58They had tried to frame me.
00:12:59It was my backing
00:13:00that had propelled
00:13:00the Reed family
00:13:01to its status today.
00:13:03You think you're leaving
00:13:03without forking out
00:13:04that 50 million?
00:13:05A necklace worth 50 million?
00:13:07This has to be
00:13:07some kind of scam!
00:13:09Madam,
00:13:09you are in a
00:13:10Helena exclusive boutique.
00:13:11Each piece here
00:13:12is a unique creation
00:13:13by Helena herself.
00:13:14There's no fraud involved.
00:13:15If it's beyond your means,
00:13:17you shouldn't have walked in.
00:13:18What was that?
00:13:19Who do you think
00:13:20can't afford it?
00:13:21Cecily immediately
00:13:22dialed Benjamin's number
00:13:23to demand money,
00:13:24only to receive
00:13:25a furious scolding.
00:13:26Idiot!
00:13:26How am I supposed
00:13:27to conjure up 50 million
00:13:28for a necklace?
00:13:29Our stock is tumbling
00:13:30and we're depending
00:13:30on a deal
00:13:31with the Harper group.
00:13:32Come home now!
00:13:32As the color drained
00:13:33from Cecily's face,
00:13:35Sylvia too felt
00:13:35the sting of humiliation
00:13:37wash over her.
00:13:37A crowd began to gather,
00:13:39cornered by the onlookers.
00:13:40Sylvia hesitantly
00:13:41made a call to Darren.
00:13:43Learning of Sylvia's plight,
00:13:44Darren didn't hesitate
00:13:45to transfer 50 million
00:13:46to her account.
00:13:48With the funds
00:13:48now in their possession,
00:13:50Cecily and Sylvia
00:13:50departed in a cloud of shame,
00:13:52tightly grasping
00:13:53the ruby necklace
00:13:54they had managed to buy.
00:13:58How were you able
00:13:59to enter?
00:14:00Did you sneak in here
00:14:01to steal something?
00:14:03Are you blind?
00:14:04Didn't you see me
00:14:05enter just now?
00:14:08Miss Harper,
00:14:09finished your morning exercise?
00:14:11Benjamin's confusion
00:14:12quickly morphed
00:14:12into surprise.
00:14:13So you're a maid
00:14:14for Mr. Harper now?
00:14:15This isn't the Reed
00:14:16family's place,
00:14:17so keep your hands
00:14:18to yourself.
00:14:18If anything goes missing,
00:14:20you'll end up
00:14:20behind bars.
00:14:21Rather than worrying
00:14:22about me,
00:14:22maybe you should think
00:14:23about your own future.
00:14:24From what I've heard,
00:14:25you'll end up in jail soon.
00:14:26Lately the Reed group's
00:14:28financial situation
00:14:28had collapsed,
00:14:29employees went unpaid,
00:14:30work halted halfway,
00:14:31and chaos re-aimed
00:14:32due to redwilding funds.
00:14:33Shored my peace,
00:14:34I brushed past them
00:14:35and ascended the staircase,
00:14:37treating the Reed family
00:14:38as if they were invisible.
00:14:39With a cold,
00:14:39unreadable expression,
00:14:41Declan quietly led
00:14:41the Reed family
00:14:42to Alexander.
00:14:43By now Declan
00:14:44understood perfectly.
00:14:45The Reed family
00:14:46was clueless
00:14:46that I was actually
00:14:47Harper's daughter,
00:14:48whom the Harpers
00:14:48and Ceci's blatant
00:14:49disrespect towards me
00:14:50in front of a simple driver,
00:14:51revealed exactly how
00:14:52they'd probably treated me
00:14:53all these years.
00:14:54Mr. Harper,
00:14:55could you perhaps clarify
00:14:56why the Harper group
00:14:57suddenly withdrew
00:14:58from our joint venture?
00:14:59The Reed group
00:15:00may not be among
00:15:01Clath's major enterprises,
00:15:02but we always deliver
00:15:03top quality work.
00:15:05Partnering with us
00:15:06wouldn't disappoint you.
00:15:07This project demands
00:15:08a significant financial backbone,
00:15:10one your struggling
00:15:11little company
00:15:11can't possibly provide.
00:15:13Mr. Harper,
00:15:13surely you wouldn't
00:15:14abandon us completely.
00:15:15Even the smallest share
00:15:16could save us.
00:15:16And what exactly have you done
00:15:18to earn my generosity?
00:15:20The Harper group
00:15:21committed to us already.
00:15:23You can't suddenly
00:15:23go back on your word.
00:15:24Who the Harper group
00:15:25chooses to work with
00:15:26is entirely our decision.
00:15:27This was the same woman
00:15:28from the mall encounter
00:15:29yesterday,
00:15:30not yours.
00:15:31Mr. Harper,
00:15:32Mrs. Harper,
00:15:32you're being misled.
00:15:33Elena is completely unreliable.
00:15:35Her father is just
00:15:36some worthless driver
00:15:37and her mother
00:15:37is from a backwatt town.
00:15:39She's totally uneducated
00:15:40and tells nothing but lies.
00:15:41Worthless driver?
00:15:42A woman from a backwatt town?
00:15:44That's right.
00:15:45You can't believe
00:15:45a word she says.
00:15:46Fresh from my shower,
00:15:48I paused midway
00:15:49down the stairs,
00:15:50clearly hearing
00:15:51Cecily's insulting remarks.
00:15:52The harshness of the insults
00:15:54twisted painfully inside me.
00:15:55Hearing those insults
00:15:56delivered right in front
00:15:57of my parents
00:15:58ignited something
00:15:59fierce within me.
00:16:00There!
00:16:01She's the one!
00:16:02A liar and a thief!
00:16:03She's making up lies
00:16:04about me
00:16:04and openly insulting
00:16:06both of you.
00:16:08Get up right now, Elena!
00:16:09Have you forgotten
00:16:10your place?
00:16:11You have no manners!
00:16:12Go back to that
00:16:12backwood village
00:16:13and stop disgracing us here!
00:16:15That's enough!
00:16:15Take them out immediately!
00:16:17You're no longer welcome
00:16:18in this house.
00:16:18Leave immediately!
00:16:19As of today,
00:16:20the Harper family
00:16:21cuts all ties
00:16:22with the Reed family
00:16:22permanently.
00:16:23You're ending
00:16:24a multi-million dollar
00:16:25partnership
00:16:26over a simple maid?
00:16:27Mr. Harper,
00:16:28you can't do this!
00:16:28This will be the end
00:16:29of the Reed family!
00:16:30I will ask you both
00:16:31to leave now,
00:16:32Mr. and Mrs. Reed.
00:16:33Security swiftly
00:16:34escorted them out
00:16:35of the estate
00:16:36before they could
00:16:36utter another word.
00:16:38Her words were
00:16:39a warm balm
00:16:40on a fresh wound.
00:16:42Don't be upset, Elena.
00:16:43If anyone dares
00:16:45to spread lies
00:16:45about you again,
00:16:47they'll have to
00:16:47answer to me.
00:16:49What sneaky trick
00:16:51did Elena pull?
00:16:51She must have
00:16:52seduced him.
00:16:53Why else would
00:16:54Mr. Harper
00:16:54jeopardize the entire deal?
00:16:56We offered her a good
00:16:56match with a divorced
00:16:57woman and she refused.
00:16:58Now look at her,
00:16:59a mistress!
00:17:00Benjamin,
00:17:00if you show them
00:17:01her true nature,
00:17:01the deal can still
00:17:02be salvaged.
00:17:03We cannot afford
00:17:04to lose this deal
00:17:04if Elena truly
00:17:05crossed this line.
00:17:06I'm so sorry
00:17:07I wasn't there
00:17:08to protect you,
00:17:09Elena.
00:17:09You've suffered
00:17:10so much.
00:17:12I haven't really
00:17:13suffered,
00:17:14but I have something
00:17:15for you and father.
00:17:17These are the first
00:17:18creations by the
00:17:19jeweler, Helena.
00:17:20They sold for
00:17:21200 million at auction.
00:17:23How did you get them?
00:17:25They were a gift
00:17:26from someone.
00:17:27It's Jeffrey.
00:17:28My eldest son
00:17:29is on the phone.
00:17:30He's coming home
00:17:31to meet you.
00:17:33Where isn't her storied?
00:17:35Are you on it?
00:17:36An old life,
00:17:36a profitable one,
00:17:38was calling.
00:17:38I made my choice.
00:17:40This new life
00:17:41was more important.
00:17:44I can't.
00:17:45The client insisted
00:17:46on you,
00:17:46but my past
00:17:48wasn't ready
00:17:48million to let
00:17:49me fire well.
00:17:52Wesley,
00:17:53I'm off.
00:17:53My sister,
00:17:54the one we've been
00:17:54searching for
00:17:55for 23 years
00:17:56has been found.
00:17:56I'm going home
00:17:57to meet her.
00:17:58Meanwhile,
00:17:58across town,
00:17:59the man trying
00:18:00to hire me
00:18:00was sitting
00:18:01with my brother.
00:18:02My target,
00:18:03the hacker L,
00:18:04just turned down
00:18:04my request.
00:18:05Said she was
00:18:06in Claith,
00:18:07reconnecting
00:18:08with her biological
00:18:09parents.
00:18:10What a coincidence.
00:18:11The pieces
00:18:11of two different
00:18:12worlds were
00:18:13about to collide.
00:18:14I'll come with you.
00:18:16Are you sure?
00:18:17You usually
00:18:18avoid these things.
00:18:19I'm suddenly
00:18:19very curious
00:18:20to meet your
00:18:21long lost sister.
00:18:22Five years.
00:18:22It had been
00:18:23five years
00:18:23since I last
00:18:24saw him.
00:18:24Wesley,
00:18:25after five years,
00:18:25why are you
00:18:26suddenly coming
00:18:26to my home?
00:18:27People offer
00:18:27fortunes to meet you.
00:18:28What could you
00:18:29possibly want?
00:18:29Wait,
00:18:30are you after
00:18:31my sister?
00:18:32Do you really
00:18:33think that's possible?
00:18:34As we arrived,
00:18:35I saw her.
00:18:36My sister,
00:18:37Elena.
00:18:41You must be
00:18:42Jeffrey.
00:18:44I didn't bring
00:18:45a gift.
00:18:46Let me give you
00:18:47some pocket money.
00:18:49Would you
00:18:50prefer cash?
00:18:52I can get you
00:18:53a million
00:18:53from the bank
00:18:54if you like.
00:18:55No need.
00:18:57You don't want it?
00:19:00Then,
00:19:01she held up
00:19:02the latest
00:19:02model smartphone.
00:19:04Thank you,
00:19:04Jeffrey.
00:19:05Please scan it.
00:19:06A smile
00:19:07crept across
00:19:08Jeffrey's face
00:19:09as he grasped
00:19:09the unfolding
00:19:10scenario.
00:19:11He was not upset.
00:19:12Rather,
00:19:13he found his
00:19:14sister's antics
00:19:14quite endearing.
00:19:21Is that man
00:19:22also my brother?
00:19:25He is not.
00:19:26You don't need
00:19:27to concern yourself
00:19:28with him.
00:19:29I'll be leaving now.
00:19:29Until next time.
00:19:31You're leaving already?
00:19:31I thought you were
00:19:32set on coming
00:19:33inside with me.
00:19:33It's no longer
00:19:34needed.
00:19:35Drive on.
00:19:39I couldn't see
00:19:40his face,
00:19:40but his voice.
00:19:42It was
00:19:43captivating.
00:19:44As the sun
00:19:44dipped below
00:19:45the horizon,
00:19:45casting long
00:19:46shadows across
00:19:47the grand estate,
00:19:48a sense of
00:19:48unease that
00:19:49man settled
00:19:49over me.
00:19:50His name is
00:19:50Spencer.
00:19:51He's not
00:19:51someone you
00:19:52should trust.
00:19:52Stay away
00:19:53from him.
00:19:53What are
00:19:53you two doing
00:19:54out here?
00:19:54Dinner is
00:19:54ready.
00:19:55Come inside.
00:19:55My mother,
00:19:56Jolie,
00:19:57took my hand.
00:19:57It was a warmth
00:19:58I had never felt
00:19:59from my mother
00:19:59at the Reed Estate.
00:20:00Elena,
00:20:01the grandma
00:20:01is coming home
00:20:02from the hospital
00:20:02tomorrow.
00:20:03You should come
00:20:03with us to meet
00:20:04her and the rest
00:20:04of the families.
00:20:05But the conversation
00:20:06that followed
00:20:07was anything
00:20:08but casual.
00:20:09Your other brothers
00:20:09will be back as well.
00:20:11They're all looking
00:20:11forward to meeting you.
00:20:14The next day,
00:20:15I came downstairs
00:20:16and saw two remarkably
00:20:17attractive men
00:20:18waiting in the living room.
00:20:19Elena,
00:20:20this is Ellis,
00:20:21your second brother,
00:20:21and Louis,
00:20:22your third.
00:20:23The first Ellis
00:20:23regarded me with
00:20:24a cool indifference
00:20:25that was almost unnerved.
00:20:26Elena,
00:20:27you're adorable.
00:20:27I'm your third brother
00:20:28and I'll take care of you.
00:20:29Louis,
00:20:30get off her.
00:20:30Uncle and the others
00:20:31are already
00:20:31at grandma's house.
00:20:33We all headed
00:20:33to the manor next door
00:20:34where my grandmother
00:20:35was waiting.
00:20:36I was immediately
00:20:37captivated by a
00:20:38breathtaking landscape
00:20:39painting on the wall.
00:20:42Elena,
00:20:43my dear,
00:20:43do you appreciate
00:20:44that painting?
00:20:46Huh,
00:20:46what does she know
00:20:47about art?
00:20:47She's just pretending.
00:20:49Elena,
00:20:49please ignore him.
00:20:50Javier is just overly frank.
00:20:52He doesn't mean any harm.
00:20:53You're magnenuous.
00:20:54You wouldn't take it
00:20:54to heart, right?
00:20:55I turned from the art
00:20:56to the artist
00:20:57of this little drama.
00:20:58I said nothing.
00:20:58My silence
00:20:59would be my answer.
00:21:01Javier,
00:21:01say you're sorry.
00:21:02Elena is your cousin.
00:21:04Elise pressed on,
00:21:05playing the part
00:21:05of the peacemaker.
00:21:06Huh,
00:21:07she doesn't deserve
00:21:07to be my cousin.
00:21:09His words were meant
00:21:10to ruin,
00:21:10but they only
00:21:11hardened my resolve.
00:21:12I met his gaze,
00:21:13letting the coldness
00:21:14in my eyes
00:21:15speak for me.
00:21:16Suddenly,
00:21:16I wasn't alone.
00:21:18Jeffrey moved
00:21:18to my side,
00:21:19a silent guardian,
00:21:21and the air crackled
00:21:22with unspoken threats.
00:21:23Javier,
00:21:24I dare you
00:21:24to say that again.
00:21:25Do you think
00:21:26I'm unworthy
00:21:26of being your cousin too?
00:21:29Jeffrey,
00:21:29I didn't mean it like that.
00:21:30Then what did you mean?
00:21:32Javier speaks
00:21:32without thinking.
00:21:34Elena,
00:21:34if the painting
00:21:35has caught your eye,
00:21:36consider it
00:21:37a welcome gift.
00:21:38Absolutely not!
00:21:40Elise wants that painting,
00:21:41and I'm giving it to her!
00:21:44It's all right,
00:21:45Samira.
00:21:46If Elena likes it too,
00:21:48let her have it.
00:21:49Javier just doesn't
00:21:50want me to feel
00:21:51overlooked.
00:21:53Elena is a daughter
00:21:54of the Harper family.
00:21:56She has everything.
00:21:58My brother,
00:21:58Louis.
00:21:59Always the knight
00:22:00in shining armor,
00:22:01whether I needed
00:22:02one or not.
00:22:03Why would she need
00:22:04to take what others
00:22:05discard?
00:22:06My sister didn't
00:22:07return to be mistreated.
00:22:09Wouldn't you agree,
00:22:09Samira?
00:22:12Of course.
00:22:14Elise can select
00:22:15another painting.
00:22:16We'll let Elena
00:22:17have this one.
00:22:17Elena has fine taste.
00:22:19She chose a
00:22:20Peyton Davis piece
00:22:21I recently acquired.
00:22:22Fine taste?
00:22:23She probably doesn't
00:22:24even know who
00:22:25Peyton is.
00:22:26Be quiet.
00:22:28If you really
00:22:29like the painting,
00:22:30why don't you
00:22:31describe what
00:22:32makes it so special?
00:22:34Elise watched me,
00:22:35ready to shine
00:22:35the moment I was
00:22:36humiliated.
00:22:37She was sure
00:22:38an ignorant girl
00:22:38like me could
00:22:39never appreciate art.
00:22:41Who said I liked it?
00:22:43If you don't know
00:22:43how to appreciate
00:22:44this painting,
00:22:45just say so.
00:22:46It's understandable
00:22:47for someone
00:22:48from the backwater.
00:22:50When did I ever
00:22:50say I liked this
00:22:51painting?
00:22:52Then why did you
00:22:53stare at it
00:22:53the moment you
00:22:54walked in?
00:22:55Elena,
00:22:55it's okay if you
00:22:56don't appreciate it.
00:22:57No one here
00:22:58would mock you.
00:22:59But you shouldn't
00:22:59dismiss a masterpiece
00:23:00just to avoid
00:23:01embarrassment.
00:23:02They thought
00:23:02they had me
00:23:03cornered,
00:23:04painting me
00:23:04as an ignorant
00:23:05fool,
00:23:05but I knew
00:23:06something they
00:23:06didn't.
00:23:07If you're so
00:23:08well informed,
00:23:09then you should
00:23:09have noticed
00:23:10this painting
00:23:10is a forgery.
00:23:12It was time
00:23:12to turn
00:23:13the tables.
00:23:14A forgery?
00:23:14That's impossible!
00:23:15Don't spout
00:23:16nonsense just
00:23:16because you're
00:23:17cornered!
00:23:17It's one thing
00:23:18to not recognize
00:23:19great art,
00:23:19Elena.
00:23:20It's another
00:23:20to pretend
00:23:21you do.
00:23:21You're a fool.
00:23:22Every original
00:23:23piece by Peyton
00:23:24has a distinctive
00:23:24mark.
00:23:25A detail only
00:23:26a true connoisseur
00:23:26would know.
00:23:27When exposed
00:23:27to fire,
00:23:28a lotus
00:23:28pattern appears.
00:23:29We can
00:23:29check right
00:23:30now.
00:23:30That's
00:23:30reckless.
00:23:31You can't
00:23:31just subject
00:23:32a masterpiece
00:23:32to flames.
00:23:33Who will
00:23:33take responsibility?
00:23:34Its value
00:23:35is immeasurable.
00:23:36There's a limit
00:23:36to your nonsense.
00:23:37My daughter
00:23:38wouldn't speak
00:23:38carelessly.
00:23:40Any reggbean
00:23:41occurs,
00:23:41I'll take
00:23:42full responsibility.
00:23:44Make sure
00:23:44you don't ruin
00:23:45my painting.
00:23:45She's obviously
00:23:46making up
00:23:46to cover
00:23:47her embarrassment.
00:23:52The air
00:23:52was thick
00:23:53with anticipation.
00:23:54Everyone
00:23:55held their breath.
00:23:58Ten long
00:23:58minutes passed.
00:24:00The painting
00:24:01remained smooth,
00:24:02untouched.
00:24:03There was no mark.
00:24:04I don't even know
00:24:05the Reed family.
00:24:06Why are they here?
00:24:06They must have
00:24:07the wrong address.
00:24:08But since Elena
00:24:09is here,
00:24:10we should let them in.
00:24:11Their eyes swept
00:24:12the room and finally
00:24:13landed on me.
00:24:14I could feel the shock
00:24:15radiating from them,
00:24:17their faces frozen
00:24:18in disbelief.
00:24:19What are you doing here?
00:24:21Sylvia, focus.
00:24:22We handle our business
00:24:23first.
00:24:23We can deal
00:24:24with that wrench
00:24:24later.
00:24:25Celis,
00:24:25ever the schemer,
00:24:26quickly tried
00:24:26to silence her,
00:24:27her grip like a vice
00:24:28on her sister's arm.
00:24:29Mrs. Harper,
00:24:31we came to ask
00:24:32when you intend
00:24:32to fulfill
00:24:33your promise to us.
00:24:34What promise
00:24:34are you talking about?
00:24:35Samira was losing
00:24:36her patience.
00:24:37After I delivered
00:24:38the painting,
00:24:39you agreed to assist me.
00:24:40But when Cecilia
00:24:41mentioned the painting,
00:24:42something snapped.
00:24:44The painting!
00:24:44So it was you!
00:24:46Tell me,
00:24:46where did that forge
00:24:47you come from?
00:24:48Were you trying
00:24:48to deceive me?
00:24:49That's impossible!
00:24:50Who told you
00:24:51such a thing?
00:24:52Cecily's denial
00:24:52was pathetic.
00:24:53The painting
00:24:54is unquestionably real!
00:24:56Samira didn't even
00:24:56look at her.
00:24:57Instead,
00:24:58she slowly raised
00:24:59her hand,
00:24:59and every eye
00:25:00in the room
00:25:01followed her finger.
00:25:03She did.
00:25:04Her?
00:25:04Mrs. Harper?
00:25:05You mustn't believe her!
00:25:06She has a personal
00:25:06grudge against us!
00:25:07Sylvia, seeing her sister
00:25:08cornered,
00:25:09launched into a tancrede.
00:25:10You don't know her.
00:25:11Her biological parents
00:25:11are from a destitute village,
00:25:12but she resents them
00:25:13and refused to leave
00:25:14our family.
00:25:14My mother kindly encouraged
00:25:16her to reconnect with them,
00:25:17but instead of gratitude,
00:25:18she harbored resentment.
00:25:18She's nothing
00:25:19but an unappreciative liar!
00:25:21Don't let her
00:25:21manipulate you!
00:25:23Who exactly
00:25:24are you calling
00:25:24ungrateful?
00:25:26Elena.
00:25:27I'm talking about Elena.
00:25:28Sylvia,
00:25:29before you continue
00:25:30this performance,
00:25:31do you even know
00:25:32who she is?
00:25:34Mrs. Harper,
00:25:36she grew up
00:25:37in our household.
00:25:37She was poorly educated,
00:25:39with a terrible personality,
00:25:41constantly fabricating lies.
00:25:42She resented
00:25:43her birth parents
00:25:44and envied me
00:25:45for being the true
00:25:45Reed daughter.
00:25:48She has repeatedly
00:25:49schemed against me.
00:25:52Honestly,
00:25:52she's nothing but a thief.
00:25:54You ought to keep
00:25:55an eye on her
00:25:55before she walks off
00:25:56with something valuable.
00:25:58Someone remove her
00:26:00from my sight!
00:26:01Now!
00:26:03Exactly.
00:26:04A lowly servant like her
00:26:06doesn't belong here.
00:26:08That vile girl
00:26:09has always had
00:26:10a rotten nature.
00:26:12Enough!
00:26:12Elena,
00:26:13is this how they've
00:26:14treated you all these years?
00:26:15For the first time,
00:26:16someone asked.
00:26:17Someone saw past the facade.
00:26:18Yes.
00:26:19Slandering my name
00:26:20is her usual trick.
00:26:21You shameless brat!
00:26:22How dare you spread
00:26:23such lies
00:26:23in front of Mr. Harper!
00:26:25Blinded by anger,
00:26:26she raised her hand
00:26:26to strike me.
00:26:27But I moved faster,
00:26:29catching her wrist
00:26:30and twisting it back.
00:26:31Ah!
00:26:33Elena!
00:26:34You shameless ingrate!
00:26:36How dare you fight back!
00:26:38Have you forgotten
00:26:39who raised you,
00:26:40you unappreciative parasite?
00:26:42She yanked her arm
00:26:43forcefully,
00:26:43and just as she did,
00:26:44I released my grip.
00:26:46Mom!
00:26:47Elena!
00:26:48How could you?
00:26:50No matter what,
00:26:52she took care of you.
00:26:53Aren't you afraid of karma?
00:26:56Karma?
00:26:58If justice truly exists,
00:27:00it is the Reed family
00:27:00who will face reprobution.
00:27:04The sound of the slap
00:27:05echoed in the grand living room,
00:27:06a sharp crack
00:27:07that silenced everything.
00:27:09You struck me!
00:27:09I am your mother, Elena!
00:27:11I raised you!
00:27:12Not anymore.
00:27:13You don't deserve that title.
00:27:15My wife needs peace.
00:27:16Escort my mother
00:27:17back to her quarters.
00:27:18Mom,
00:27:19you said she was a servant.
00:27:20Why are the Harpers
00:27:21defending her?
00:27:22She must have sadist him.
00:27:24There's no other way.
00:27:25Mrs. Harper,
00:27:26you're being foolish.
00:27:27Can't you see what's happening
00:27:28between your husband
00:27:29and this servant?
00:27:30A sudden crash
00:27:31shattered the tense silence.
00:27:34Slandering my daughter?
00:27:35Do you have a death wish?
00:27:37Daughter?
00:27:38Impossible!
00:27:39She's the child
00:27:40of poor farmers!
00:27:43If she isn't our sister,
00:27:45are you?
00:27:47Look in a mirror.
00:27:48Elena has our family's beauty.
00:27:50You're just a hideous
00:27:51attention symbol.
00:27:53Mom,
00:27:54you told me she was a servant.
00:27:55What do we do now?
00:27:57I don't know.
00:27:58Elena,
00:27:59we raised you
00:28:00for over 20 years.
00:28:01Now that you've found
00:28:02your rich family,
00:28:03surely you'll repay
00:28:03our kindness?
00:28:04That's right.
00:28:05You owe us.
00:28:06The Harper family
00:28:06must compensate us
00:28:07for all those years.
00:28:08Declan,
00:28:09didn't I prepare
00:28:10a settlement for them?
00:28:11Yes, Mr. Harper.
00:28:12I presented it
00:28:13to them personally.
00:28:14They turned it down.
00:28:16When was this?
00:28:19When I came
00:28:19to pick up Miss Harper,
00:28:20I offered you 23 estates,
00:28:2323 commercial properties,
00:28:2523 luxury cars,
00:28:26and a bank card
00:28:26with $230 million.
00:28:28I'll take them!
00:28:29Give them to me now!
00:28:30I'll take it all!
00:28:32Now you want them?
00:28:34Too late.
00:28:34Elena,
00:28:35from now on,
00:28:36I'm your shield.
00:28:37If anyone dares
00:28:38to disrespect you,
00:28:39I'll make them regret it.
00:28:40Just say the word.
00:28:41I'll make it happen.
00:28:41Next time,
00:28:42I'll bring you
00:28:42something interesting
00:28:43from the research center.
00:28:44As my brothers
00:28:45rallied around me,
00:28:46I could feel
00:28:47Elisa's jealousy
00:28:48burning from
00:28:49across the room.
00:28:50Alexander,
00:28:50Jolie,
00:28:51no matter what,
00:28:52the Reeds
00:28:53raised Elena
00:28:53for over 20 years.
00:28:55Shouldn't we at least
00:28:56let them sit down
00:28:56and talk?
00:28:57I'm not as patient
00:28:58as you, Elise.
00:28:59If you want to listen
00:29:00to their nonsense,
00:29:00go ahead.
00:29:02Elena,
00:29:03how could you say that?
00:29:04I was only thinking
00:29:05of you.
00:29:06They did raise you.
00:29:07I had no other motives.
00:29:09Louis saw right
00:29:10through her act.
00:29:11He never had
00:29:12any patience
00:29:12for her games.
00:29:13Did you not hear
00:29:14the vile things
00:29:14they just said?
00:29:15If you actually cared
00:29:16about Elena,
00:29:17you'd keep quiet.
00:29:17You fooled me
00:29:18with a forgery
00:29:19and still expect
00:29:20my help?
00:29:20Keep dreaming.
00:29:21I swear,
00:29:22this painting is real.
00:29:23Elena,
00:29:24just because you've
00:29:24moved up in the world
00:29:25doesn't mean you
00:29:26can turn your back
00:29:26on us.
00:29:27We never let you starve.
00:29:28Her performance
00:29:29was designed
00:29:30to smear my name,
00:29:31and I could see
00:29:31it was starting
00:29:32to work on some people.
00:29:33So Elena says
00:29:34it's a fake,
00:29:35and you all just
00:29:36take her word for it?
00:29:37Mom,
00:29:37you're being ridiculous.
00:29:39Even Dad,
00:29:40a literature professor,
00:29:42couldn't confirm
00:29:42its authenticity.
00:29:43What makes you
00:29:44think she can?
00:29:45You're just ungrateful.
00:29:48Javier Harper.
00:29:50He has a point.
00:29:51If even an expert
00:29:53couldn't tell,
00:29:53how could you
00:29:54possibly know?
00:29:55His name was a warning,
00:29:57but the damage
00:29:58was done.
00:29:58I saw a flicker
00:29:59of doubt
00:30:00in my mother's eyes.
00:30:01There's a simple
00:30:02way to settle this.
00:30:03We'll retrieve
00:30:04the painting
00:30:04from the Spencer family
00:30:05and compare them
00:30:07side by side.
00:30:12Without another word,
00:30:13he pulled out
00:30:14his phone
00:30:14and made the call.
00:30:16The truth
00:30:17was about to come out.
00:30:18Jeffrey's voice
00:30:19was laced
00:30:19with a concern
00:30:20I knew all too well.
00:30:21Wesley insists
00:30:22you come and get
00:30:23the painting yourself.
00:30:24Then I'll go
00:30:25pick it up,
00:30:25Jeffrey.
00:30:26It's no trouble.
00:30:27Spencer Manon
00:30:28is not a simple trip.
00:30:29I'm going with you.
00:30:31The gates
00:30:31swung open
00:30:32as we arrived,
00:30:33a silent,
00:30:34imposing welcome.
00:30:35I stepped out
00:30:36of the car alone,
00:30:37leaving Jeffrey's
00:30:37worries behind
00:30:38with the engine's hum.
00:30:40I was led
00:30:41by a butler,
00:30:41his silence
00:30:42as heavy as the shadows,
00:30:44down a long hall
00:30:44towards Wesley's studio.
00:30:46He was lounging
00:30:47on the sofa,
00:30:48his posture relaxed
00:30:49but authoritative.
00:30:51In that instant,
00:30:52I knew.
00:30:53He was the man
00:30:54from the car.
00:30:58You came
00:30:58for the artwork?
00:30:59Yes.
00:31:00A girl from Folklex
00:31:01who knows about
00:31:02my private collection
00:31:03and can spot a fake.
00:31:05Do you know Elle?
00:31:07Who?
00:31:08Who?
00:31:08I don't know
00:31:08who that is.
00:31:10Give me your phone.
00:31:12My phone?
00:31:13Don't make me
00:31:13repeat myself.
00:31:15I watched his fingers
00:31:16move across the screen,
00:31:17installing a tracking
00:31:18application right
00:31:19in front of my eyes.
00:31:20A laish,
00:31:21disguised as technology.
00:31:23Take it.
00:31:24The painting
00:31:24is on the first floor.
00:31:26This is a test.
00:31:27He's waiting
00:31:27for me to erase it,
00:31:28to expose my skills,
00:31:31to show my hand.
00:31:33Thank you for your time.
00:31:36I'll be watching.
00:31:37Back at the house,
00:31:37I placed the real one
00:31:38next to the fake.
00:31:39Jeffrey,
00:31:40ever impatient,
00:31:41decided to see
00:31:41the truth for himself.
00:31:43Don't.
00:31:43How did she get it?
00:31:44Wesley would never
00:31:45give it to an uncultured
00:31:46nobody.
00:31:46As the flame
00:31:47touched the canvas,
00:31:48a lotus insignia appeared.
00:31:49Samira tore
00:31:50the counterfeit
00:31:50to shreds.
00:31:52Do you have
00:31:52anything left to say?
00:31:56You thought
00:31:56you could fool me
00:31:57with a forgery?
00:31:58Get them out
00:31:59of my sight!
00:32:02Apologize.
00:32:02Now.
00:32:03Fine.
00:32:04I was wrong,
00:32:05okay?
00:32:06She's not even a harper,
00:32:07yet everyone
00:32:07takes her side.
00:32:08Enough.
00:32:08In three days,
00:32:09I'll hold a banquet
00:32:10to officially introduce
00:32:11Elena as a harper.
00:32:12Elena,
00:32:13I'd like you to
00:32:13reclaim our name.
00:32:14From now on,
00:32:15you'll be Elena Harper.
00:32:16Are you willing?
00:32:16Meanwhile,
00:32:17Cecile and Sylvia
00:32:18returned home
00:32:19to their father,
00:32:20who looked desperate.
00:32:21The company is collapsing.
00:32:22How did your meeting
00:32:23with the Harpers go?
00:32:24We need their money now.
00:32:25Dad,
00:32:26we didn't get to see Samira.
00:32:28The situation is urgent.
00:32:30Maybe I can ask
00:32:30Darren for assistance?
00:32:33You're so thoughtful.
00:32:34Unlike Elena,
00:32:35who never helps.
00:32:37We should have sent
00:32:38her back ages ago.
00:32:42I'm your daughter.
00:32:43It's only right
00:32:44for me to step up.
00:32:46Meanwhile,
00:32:46at the Harper Manor,
00:32:47my parents had bought out
00:32:48my entire jewelry line,
00:32:50filling the living room
00:32:51with billions worth
00:32:52of gifts.
00:32:55I don't even wear
00:32:56much jewelry.
00:32:57Let's return these.
00:32:59Every woman loves
00:33:00fine jewelry.
00:33:01Don't overthink it.
00:33:02Keep whatever catches
00:33:03your eye.
00:33:05If nothing here
00:33:06suits your taste,
00:33:07we'll order more.
00:33:10You deserve the world,
00:33:12Elena.
00:33:14What is all this commotion?
00:33:15Mr. and Mrs. Harper
00:33:17are selecting gowns
00:33:18and jewelry
00:33:18for Miss Harper's
00:33:19upcoming banquet.
00:33:21A banquet?
00:33:22He's always too busy
00:33:23for me,
00:33:24but he personally
00:33:24plans parties for her?
00:33:26She steadied herself
00:33:27and stepped inside,
00:33:29her eyes landing
00:33:30on the lavish gifts.
00:33:32They just feel sorry
00:33:33for what Miss Harley
00:33:34went through.
00:33:35They are just
00:33:35making it up to her.
00:33:40Yes.
00:33:41There's still plenty
00:33:42of time
00:33:43to figure out
00:33:44how to get rid
00:33:45of Elena for good.
00:33:47Elena, my dear,
00:33:49look at this black gown.
00:33:50It's exquisite.
00:33:51How about this one
00:33:52for the banquet?
00:33:54I like it.
00:33:57What a stunning dress.
00:33:59I've actually never
00:34:00tried wearing black before,
00:34:02but if Elena wants it,
00:34:03then of course it's hers.
00:34:05She played the part
00:34:06of the gracious
00:34:06stepsister perfectly.
00:34:08Elise,
00:34:08do you like this dress too?
00:34:09It's fine, Joby.
00:34:12I'll just choose one
00:34:13from what Elena doesn't want.
00:34:14This dress doesn't suit you.
00:34:16I know you like it.
00:34:17Don't worry,
00:34:17I won't take it from you.
00:34:18Her hypocrisy
00:34:19was nauseating.
00:34:20The dress required
00:34:21a presence she simply
00:34:22didn't have.
00:34:23I'll wear this white one instead.
00:34:24Since she wanted it
00:34:25so badly,
00:34:26I let her have it.
00:34:27Oh, Elena,
00:34:28you are so thoughtful.
00:34:29At the grand banquet,
00:34:30Elise was strutting around
00:34:31in the black dress,
00:34:32soaking up what she thought
00:34:33was admiration.
00:34:34Why is Elise wearing
00:34:35such a nice image dress?
00:34:36That's what Serena
00:34:37didn't suit her at all.
00:34:39I never realized
00:34:40she was so lacking shape.
00:34:43Elise,
00:34:44where's that girl
00:34:45from the backwater?
00:34:45Is she too embarrassed
00:34:46to show up?
00:34:47She was uneducated
00:34:49so her etiquette
00:34:49might be lacking.
00:34:50Please don't take it personally.
00:34:52I don't, love.
00:34:53I'm sure your father
00:34:54wishes you were
00:34:55his real daughter, Elise.
00:34:56You're so impressive.
00:34:58I made my entrance,
00:35:00flanked by my
00:35:01three powerful brothers.
00:35:02She's breathtaking.
00:35:04Who is she?
00:35:05Wait.
00:35:06That must be her,
00:35:07the long-lost daughter
00:35:08of the Harper family.
00:35:09The moment I stepped in,
00:35:11I could feel all eyes on me,
00:35:12but some gazes
00:35:13were sharper than others.
00:35:14Isn't that the Harper daughter?
00:35:16I heard she was
00:35:16supposed to be unattractive.
00:35:18Unattractive?
00:35:19She's gorgeous.
00:35:20The white dress is perfect.
00:35:22Suddenly,
00:35:23Elise's black gown
00:35:23seems so outdated.
00:35:25Elise,
00:35:25don't listen.
00:35:26It's just the dress
00:35:27making her stand out.
00:35:29You'd wear it better.
00:35:31She planned this.
00:35:33She gave me
00:35:34this ugly dress
00:35:35and arrived late
00:35:36just to humiliate me.
00:35:39Elena,
00:35:40you're a hit.
00:35:41Have you thought
00:35:42about showbiz?
00:35:42I can make you a star.
00:35:44Suddenly,
00:35:44I was surrounded.
00:35:46Everyone wanted a piece
00:35:47of the newly found Harper.
00:35:48Quit spouting nonsense,
00:35:49Louis.
00:35:50Let her live freely.
00:35:51I'd like to introduce
00:35:52you to some people.
00:35:54He led me to the center
00:35:56of the stage
00:35:56as a spotlight blinded us.
00:35:58I appreciate all
00:35:59of you coming.
00:36:00This is Elena Harper,
00:36:01the daughter we've been
00:36:02missing for years.
00:36:03To welcome her home,
00:36:05I have already transferred
00:36:065% of the Harper Group
00:36:07shares under her name.
00:36:08I hope you'll look out
00:36:09for her.
00:36:115%?
00:36:12He gave her 5%
00:36:14of the company?
00:36:20Why her?
00:36:21She just came home
00:36:22and grabbed all the attention.
00:36:24She has no respect for you.
00:36:26Elise,
00:36:26how about we show her
00:36:27what our rules are all about?
00:36:30never mind.
00:36:31I can tolerate her.
00:36:33None of you should cause
00:36:34trouble for her on my behalf.
00:36:36I should have known.
00:36:40In this world,
00:36:42kindness is a weakness
00:36:44and jealousy is a weapon.
00:36:51I had just stepped away
00:36:52from Alexander
00:36:53when I saw a woman
00:36:54named Debbie approaching me,
00:36:55a glass of red wine
00:36:56in her hand.
00:36:56But the person on the floor
00:36:57wasn't me.
00:36:58It was Debbie,
00:36:59her face a mess of wine
00:37:00and black eyeliner.
00:37:01Hey, look what you've done!
00:37:02My dress!
00:37:03Perfect.
00:37:04That wretched woman Elena
00:37:05is finally getting
00:37:06what she deserves.
00:37:07I'll let everyone
00:37:07see her shame.
00:37:08Why weren't you watching
00:37:09where you were going?
00:37:10My makeup is ruined!
00:37:12My necklace is soaked!
00:37:15This is a Helena original!
00:37:17You owe me!
00:37:19She raised her hand
00:37:20to slap the timid girl.
00:37:21A bumpian like you
00:37:22wouldn't understand
00:37:23the cost of fine jewelry.
00:37:24But you break it,
00:37:25you pay for it.
00:37:26That necklace is from
00:37:27a Helena line
00:37:28released five years ago.
00:37:29A discounted piece
00:37:31for loyal members.
00:37:32Given how worn it is,
00:37:33I doubt it's worth
00:37:33more than a hundred thousand.
00:37:38How did you know?
00:37:39She's right!
00:37:40That's an old freebie!
00:37:41I have one at home!
00:37:42Trying to pass off
00:37:42a giveaway as a luxury item?
00:37:44How pathetic!
00:37:45Just as Debbie's face
00:37:46turned pale with humiliation,
00:37:48Ellis pushed through the crowd,
00:37:49a triumphant smile
00:37:50on her face.
00:37:51Helena,
00:37:51what's going on with you?
00:37:53Debbie?
00:37:54What are you doing
00:37:55on the floor?
00:37:56Who did you expect
00:37:56to see, Ellis?
00:37:57Her concern was as fake
00:37:58as the pearls around her neck.
00:38:00Elena,
00:38:00I was just worried.
00:38:01When I saw the crowd,
00:38:02I feared for your safety.
00:38:03I'm so glad you're alright.
00:38:04You knew she was
00:38:05going to do this.
00:38:06A real friend
00:38:06would have warned me.
00:38:07She ignored me, of course.
00:38:09Theatrics were her specialty.
00:38:11Your dress is soaked, Debbie.
00:38:13Let's get you changed.
00:38:14Stop.
00:38:14You're leaving
00:38:15without an apology?
00:38:16Isn't that a Scott?
00:38:18I heard their family
00:38:18is failing.
00:38:19Pretending a cheap necklace
00:38:20is valuable?
00:38:21How embarrassing for her.
00:38:22Elise, please!
00:38:23I only did this
00:38:24because you-
00:38:25Elena, she meant no harm.
00:38:26Let's not make a scene.
00:38:27It's improper to leave a guest
00:38:28in drenched clothes.
00:38:29And just like that,
00:38:30she silenced the truth
00:38:31and painted me as the villain.
00:38:32Here, a gift for the girl
00:38:33from Foy Clanks.
00:38:34You've probably never seen
00:38:35real glass before.
00:38:36I found this at a thrift stall.
00:38:37It should suit you.
00:38:38Do you like it?
00:38:39We got it especially for you.
00:38:40It fits you perfectly.
00:38:41Their insults were pathetic.
00:38:42They were just Elise's puppets.
00:38:44Oh my god!
00:38:45It's Wesley!
00:38:46I lifted my gaze
00:38:47and saw him
00:38:48in a tailored black suit.
00:38:49He wasn't just in the room.
00:38:50He commanded it.
00:38:51And in that moment,
00:38:52I knew the night
00:38:53was about to change.
00:38:53The moment he walked in,
00:38:55the entire room
00:38:56seemed to hold its breath.
00:38:57It's Wesley Spencer.
00:38:58Why is he here?
00:38:59I thought he was
00:39:00at the Imperial Club.
00:39:01He's looking over here.
00:39:02Is my makeup okay?
00:39:03I should have worn
00:39:04my back with stress.
00:39:05He moved through the crowd
00:39:06not as a guest,
00:39:07but as a predator
00:39:08stalking his prey.
00:39:09As he strode toward me,
00:39:10I couldn't help but agree.
00:39:11He was colder than last night
00:39:13and even taller
00:39:14than my brothers.
00:39:15Wesley!
00:39:16What a coincidence
00:39:17seeing you here.
00:39:18We must be destined to meet.
00:39:20He walked right past her
00:39:21without a single glance,
00:39:22stopping directly
00:39:23in front of me.
00:39:24He stood before me,
00:39:25an imposing figure,
00:39:26his face an unreadable mask.
00:39:28He opened a velvet-lined box
00:39:30and held it out.
00:39:32This is...
00:39:32A gift.
00:39:34Why?
00:39:35The Spencers don't need
00:39:36to give gifts
00:39:37to win favor?
00:39:38Don't want it?
00:39:39I took it.
00:39:39It made sense
00:39:40to forge a connection
00:39:41with the leader
00:39:41of the Spencer family.
00:39:42What brings you here?
00:39:43Jeffrey sent me an invitation.
00:39:44How does a girl
00:39:45from Foykeland
00:39:45know Wesley Spencer?
00:39:46That's the pigeon blood ruby.
00:39:47Someone offered billions for it
00:39:48and Wesley refused to sell.
00:39:49He gave it to her?
00:39:50Oh no, what if she tells him
00:39:51what we said about her earlier?
00:39:52When did my daughter
00:39:52become so close to him?
00:39:53That bastard.
00:39:54I knew he had feelings
00:39:55for my sister.
00:39:56Mr. Spencer,
00:39:57your generosity is astounding.
00:39:59But why are you here?
00:40:00Such an extravagant gift
00:40:01is far too much for Elena.
00:40:02It's just a small gift.
00:40:04No big deal.
00:40:05You were supposed to be
00:40:06at the Imperial Club tonight.
00:40:07What do you want with my sister?
00:40:09I came because
00:40:10I wanted to see Elena.
00:40:12You!
00:40:13If you weren't the head
00:40:14of the Spencer family,
00:40:15I'd make you regret
00:40:16looking at her that way.
00:40:18It is our honor
00:40:18to have you here,
00:40:19Mr. Spencer.
00:40:20Just then,
00:40:21my adopted sister
00:40:22Elise returned,
00:40:23her eyes immediately
00:40:23locking on Wesley.
00:40:26Wesley,
00:40:26it's been so long.
00:40:27Do you still remember me?
00:40:28Elise,
00:40:29come here.
00:40:30Now.
00:40:30You're just trying to stop me
00:40:31from talking to him.
00:40:32You want him for your
00:40:33precious Elena,
00:40:34don't you?
00:40:34Wesley!
00:40:36Wesley!
00:40:37She reached out
00:40:37and placed her hand
00:40:38on his arm,
00:40:38a desperate,
00:40:39possessive gesture.
00:40:40I don't remember you.
00:40:43Ugh.
00:40:44Dirty.
00:40:49She actually thought
00:40:50he'd fall for that?
00:40:51Father?
00:40:52Jeffrey?
00:40:53Say something!
00:40:54You have forgotten
00:40:55how a Harper should behave.
00:40:56You were warned.
00:40:58She stared at them,
00:40:59her eyes filling
00:41:00with bitter tears
00:41:01as she realized
00:41:02they wouldn't defend her.
00:41:07If it were Elena
00:41:08being mocked,
00:41:09you would have already
00:41:10started a war for her.
00:41:13In the car
00:41:13on the way back
00:41:14to the manor,
00:41:14the silence was heavy,
00:41:15broken only by the hum
00:41:16of the engine.
00:41:17Did you know Wesley
00:41:18before tonight, Elena?
00:41:19No.
00:41:20I've never met him.
00:41:21He never acts
00:41:21without a reason.
00:41:22He wasn't there for me,
00:41:22he was there for you.
00:41:23I don't know him, Jeffrey.
00:41:24I promise.
00:41:25Okay.
00:41:25Just remember,
00:41:26no matter what happens,
00:41:27you can always come to me.
00:41:28When we arrived,
00:41:29the scene was deceptively calm
00:41:30but the housekeeper Ailey
00:41:31rushed toward us,
00:41:32her face with worry.
00:41:33Master Jeffrey,
00:41:34Elis ran out of the party
00:41:35crying.
00:41:35It's so dark,
00:41:36we should send someone
00:41:37to find her.
00:41:37No need.
00:41:38She's next door
00:41:38complaining to our aunt
00:41:39and uncle.
00:41:40But she could be in danger.
00:41:41She's perfectly safe.
00:41:42Let her vent.
00:41:43He was right.
00:41:44Across the lawn,
00:41:45Elise was putting on
00:41:45the performance of a lifetime.
00:41:47Aunt Sakina forced me
00:41:48into that ugly dress
00:41:49and then Uncle Alexander,
00:41:50he gave her company shares.
00:41:51Shares?
00:41:52He gave that girl shares?
00:41:53If she gets shares,
00:41:54you deserve 5%.
00:41:55Exactly.
00:41:56If you need to tell uncle
00:41:57that Elena is a snake.
00:41:58No, heavily.
00:41:59I don't want to cause
00:41:59any trouble.
00:42:00You are too gentle, Elise.
00:42:02That's why she bullies you.
00:42:03That girl is a menace.
00:42:04As long as I have all of you,
00:42:05I'm content.
00:42:06Don't you worry.
00:42:07Your grandmother's smile
00:42:08on of her doors you
00:42:09I died to Alexander
00:42:10would dare to ignore her wishes.
00:42:12A silent declaration
00:42:13of a battle
00:42:13she believed
00:42:14she had already won.
00:42:15Bertha's frail condition
00:42:16demanded daily heart medication,
00:42:18confining her mostly
00:42:19to quiet rest.
00:42:21Bertha,
00:42:22if you weren't so unwell,
00:42:23you would have attended
00:42:23last night's banquet.
00:42:25I'm old and lack energy.
00:42:27It's best if you handle
00:42:28the family affairs
00:42:29on your own.
00:42:30You are the elder,
00:42:31and we all ought
00:42:32to heed your words.
00:42:33Even if Alexander's status
00:42:34has shifted,
00:42:35he should still remain
00:42:35respectful towards you.
00:42:37Elise is your granddaughter.
00:42:38That poor girl
00:42:39has suffered immensely,
00:42:40living at the mercy
00:42:41of others
00:42:42and enduring hardships
00:42:43in silence.
00:42:43You cannot neglect her.
00:42:46Get Alexander here immediately.
00:42:47I want to ask him personally
00:42:49if he has forgotten
00:42:50his late sister.
00:42:52All right.
00:42:52I'll call him right away.
00:42:54It wasn't long
00:42:55before Alexander arrived.
00:42:58The moment he stepped inside,
00:43:00the tense atmosphere
00:43:01hit him.
00:43:02He furrowed his brow
00:43:03and asked,
00:43:03Mom, what's wrong?
00:43:05If you still regard me
00:43:06as your mother,
00:43:07then allot 5%
00:43:09of the company shares
00:43:10to Elise.
00:43:11Shifting his gaze
00:43:12to Samira at his side,
00:43:14Alexander asked,
00:43:17Mom,
00:43:17has anyone spoken
00:43:18with you about this?
00:43:19Did you allocate shares
00:43:21to Elena?
00:43:22Elise is your sister's child.
00:43:24You've raised her
00:43:25like your own daughter
00:43:26all these years,
00:43:27so you must treat her
00:43:28just as kindly
00:43:29as you do Elena.
00:43:31Mom,
00:43:31the transfer of share ownership
00:43:33is linked to the company's
00:43:34daily operations.
00:43:35I cannot agree to that.
00:43:42Witnessing this,
00:43:43Alexander's demeanor
00:43:44as he instructed Samira.
00:43:46Call the doctor immediately
00:43:48and summon the rest
00:43:48of the family at once.
00:43:49After overhearing
00:43:50their conversation,
00:43:51and observing Bertha's condition,
00:43:52I had pieced together
00:43:53a clear picture
00:43:54of the situation.
00:43:55A sudden cerebral avimage
00:43:56of this nature
00:43:57left only a precious
00:43:5830-minute window
00:43:59for effective treatment.
00:44:00They had spent
00:44:00a significant amount
00:44:01of time getting here
00:44:02and the recent consultation
00:44:03had delayed them further.
00:44:05The patient's condition
00:44:06is critical.
00:44:07What are you waiting for?
00:44:08Every moment wasted
00:44:09diminishes her chances.
00:44:11Phil Benton,
00:44:12the vice president
00:44:13of the hospital
00:44:13and also also a doctor.
00:44:15As I mentioned earlier,
00:44:16unless healer arrives,
00:44:18no one will be able
00:44:19to save her.
00:44:19Who said surgery
00:44:20is the only option?
00:44:21Ferris Ortega,
00:44:22the youngest doctor
00:44:23in the room,
00:44:23was irritated
00:44:23by my comment.
00:44:25We are the leading
00:44:25cardiac specialist
00:44:26in clay,
00:44:27and even we know
00:44:27of no procedure
00:44:28to repair blood vessels
00:44:29non-surgical.
00:44:30For a case this complicated,
00:44:31there are no precedents,
00:44:32either here or abroad,
00:44:33and I'm sure
00:44:34you don't have one either.
00:44:35Your ignorance
00:44:35is the problem,
00:44:36not her condition.
00:44:37I'm ignorant.
00:44:38If you know how to treat her,
00:44:40then go ahead
00:44:41and do it.
00:44:42Step aside.
00:44:43If you can't manage that,
00:44:44then remove your doctor's coat.
00:44:46If you can cure her,
00:44:47I'll let you take over
00:44:48as department head.
00:44:49Mr. Harper,
00:44:50should we allow
00:44:50this young lady to try?
00:44:52Are you out of your mind?
00:44:53Alexander fixed his gaze
00:44:54on his daughter,
00:44:55his expression heavy
00:44:56with concern.
00:44:57Elena,
00:44:57what is our percentage
00:44:58chance of success?
00:45:00Even the vice president
00:45:01insists there's no chance.
00:45:02How could a young girl
00:45:03possibly have a solution?
00:45:04Alexander paid no attention
00:45:06to Samira,
00:45:07focusing his gaze
00:45:08solely on me.
00:45:1160%.
00:45:11All right,
00:45:12go ahead.
00:45:12Who will bear
00:45:13the responsibility?
00:45:14I'll take responsibility.
00:45:15I produced a set
00:45:16of finely crafted
00:45:17silver needles.
00:45:19Huh.
00:45:19I assumed real skill
00:45:20was involved,
00:45:21but it turns out
00:45:21it's nothing more
00:45:22than silver needle.
00:45:22I brought out
00:45:23the silver needles.
00:45:24Does she really think
00:45:24these silver needles
00:45:25can stop intracranial bleeding
00:45:26and repair blood vessels?
00:45:27Then cheers what he needs
00:45:28being ignorant.
00:45:29This gets out.
00:45:30Whoever trist us again.
00:45:31After a brief examination,
00:45:32I had already pinpointed
00:45:34the source of Bertha's bleeding.
00:45:35Due to the fragilied
00:45:36Bertha's blood vessels,
00:45:37I was required to operate
00:45:38with absolute precision
00:45:39using the silver needles.
00:45:40With a steady hand,
00:45:41no margin silver needle,
00:45:42I supported Bertha's head
00:45:43with my other hand
00:45:43and desperately made the insertion.
00:45:45She didn't even look
00:45:45before inserting the silver needles.
00:45:46She's just messing around.
00:45:47Be quiet and watch carefully.
00:45:49Farrah stared at Phil,
00:45:50confused.
00:45:51What could possibly be
00:45:52so captivating about a fraud
00:45:53tempting traditional
00:45:54medical treatment?
00:45:55Was it really worth
00:45:56paying such close attention to?
00:45:57Minutes ticked by
00:45:58as I maintained
00:45:59my unwavering focus
00:46:00until I finally halted
00:46:01my movements.
00:46:02Blanking at the clock,
00:46:03I noted that the entire
00:46:04procedure had taken
00:46:05nearly 25 minutes.
00:46:06Just a slam.
00:46:07Is the treatment over?
00:46:08I offered a nod,
00:46:10ready to explain,
00:46:11and Samira interjected.
00:46:12If the treatment is over,
00:46:14Bertha,
00:46:14why hasn't Bertha woken up?
00:46:15Are you just putting
00:46:16on a show, Elena?
00:46:17What if you made
00:46:18Bertha's condition work?
00:46:19Where did you even learn this?
00:46:21It's far from professional.
00:46:23It seems doctors like you
00:46:25aren't necessary after all.
00:46:27Damn it!
00:46:28Are you deaf?
00:46:29I'm talking to you!
00:46:30Casting another quick glance
00:46:31at the clock,
00:46:32I noted that Bertha
00:46:33still needed an additional
00:46:3415 minutes to wake up.
00:46:36I glanced at the clock again,
00:46:37my eyes filled with impatience.
00:46:39You're really such a hassle.
00:46:40What?
00:46:41Quit the act already.
00:46:42Everyone sees you haven't even
00:46:43located the acupuncture points.
00:46:45Dramatic pause followed,
00:46:46and then he said,
00:46:47You're just jabbing needles
00:46:48randomly.
00:46:48You don't want me to speak up?
00:46:49Are you scared I'll reveal your lies?
00:46:51You're illegally practicing
00:46:52medicine without a license.
00:46:53If anything happens to Miss Harper,
00:46:55you'll be held accountable.
00:46:56Young lady,
00:46:56could you please give me
00:46:57an autograph?
00:46:58Why does he demand her autograph?
00:46:59Could he be gathering evidence
00:47:00to hold her accountable?
00:47:01Absolutely.
00:47:02Benton is being meticulous.
00:47:03He must be preparing
00:47:04for a possible denial later on.
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:07I have no hidden motives.
00:47:08Raising an eyebrow slightly,
00:47:09I noted that Phil did not
00:47:10question my medical skills
00:47:11like others.
00:47:12Sorry, I don't sign autographs.
00:47:14She did.
00:47:14She always wore a mask,
00:47:15keeping her true identity
00:47:16hidden from everyone.
00:47:19Who do you think you are?
00:47:20Dr. Benton doesn't really
00:47:21want your autograph.
00:47:22Hey, that's not true.
00:47:23Ferris, what absurdity
00:47:24are you spowing?
00:47:25Apologize immediately.
00:47:26Dr. Benton, am I mistaken?
00:47:27She's operating without a license
00:47:28and demeaning you.
00:47:29She ought to be the one
00:47:29apologizing.
00:47:30She didn't convince
00:47:31he was right.
00:47:31I shouldn't have made that request.
00:47:33I'm not retired yet,
00:47:34and are you challenging me?
00:47:34Phil regarded Ferris
00:47:35with a touch of pity,
00:47:36thinking that the vice
00:47:37presidential should belong
00:47:38to someone.
00:47:38Ferris, is your throat hurting?
00:47:39Why haven't you apologized yet?
00:47:41Folding his arms,
00:47:42maintaining an aloof stance,
00:47:43he said,
00:47:43I'll only apologize
00:47:44if Mrs. Harper wakes up.
00:47:47Ferris refused to offer
00:47:48any apology to me.
00:47:50Folding his arms
00:47:51and maintaining
00:47:52an aloof stance,
00:47:53he said,
00:47:54Just as Javier and Elsie
00:47:55entered the house,
00:47:56they overheard Ferris' word.
00:47:57With a crowd
00:47:58obstructing the doorway,
00:47:59Javier asked,
00:48:00Who is the murderer?
00:48:01What's this talk
00:48:02of a murderer?
00:48:03Why is everyone crowded
00:48:04around my grandmother's room?
00:48:05If Mrs. Harder wakes up,
00:48:07I'll not only apologize
00:48:07Wheat and Baker
00:48:08to be my teacher.
00:48:09Unfortunately,
00:48:10I have no need
00:48:10for an apprentice
00:48:11who lack intelligence.
00:48:13You.
00:48:13Elena,
00:48:14you're not a trained doctor.
00:48:15With qualified professionals
00:48:18around,
00:48:18your insistence
00:48:19on helping
00:48:20might actually
00:48:21worsen things.
00:48:22Elise is right.
00:48:23Elena is creating
00:48:23problems for everyone.
00:48:25If you don't do something
00:48:25about her,
00:48:26Alexander,
00:48:26the Harper family
00:48:27will be in constant chaos.
00:48:28If my mother
00:48:29does not recover,
00:48:30I will step down
00:48:32as CEO of the Harper group.
00:48:33Alexander,
00:48:34are you seriously
00:48:35considering resigning
00:48:36from your CEO position?
00:48:38Elena,
00:48:39did your treatment succeed?
00:48:40What caused
00:48:41Gramps?
