Short filmTranscript
00:00Three years after the divorce, my ex-husband Julian showed up with roses, grinning like he'd already won.
00:06Babe, I kept my word, right on time to get you back.
00:10Three years ago, he played truth or dare with his friends and lost to his childhood sweetheart.
00:16She had a request.
00:17I want to see if you and your wife are really in love.
00:19So you two get divorced, three years, I'll admit it's true love.
00:22No calls, no messages, nothing.
00:24Just time, distance, and the truth of what remains.
00:26Three years, and then we'll see.
00:28Deal!
00:29Wait for me.
00:30Hey, seriously, think about this, okay?
00:32Divorce isn't something you just mess around with.
00:33I trust what we have.
00:34My wife's obsessed with me for life.
00:36She'll definitely remarry me.
00:38I didn't say a word.
00:39He had no idea that was his last chance.
00:42Mad at me?
00:43My husband doesn't let me take flowers from other men.
00:50Come on, I'm here now, aren't I?
00:53Be good.
00:53Don't be mad.
00:54Mr. Chase, keep your distance.
00:55Really pissed this time?
00:56Tell me what'll make you feel better.
00:59Anything.
01:01Back when we were dating, he loved pinning me against walls, kissing me under the moonlight.
01:07Julian, three years is enough to change everything.
01:12True.
01:13He nodded like he agreed.
01:14His hand came up to cut my face, thumb stroking my cheek.
01:17So, did you have a boy or a girl?
01:21The thought of that baby still tore through my chest.
01:24Three years ago, he knew I was pregnant.
01:27After he lost that stupid game.
01:29At her demand, he divorced me anyway.
01:32Three years.
01:33No texts.
01:35No calls.
01:36Nothing.
01:37Now he had the nerve to assume I'd have his kid.
01:40A bitter smile curled my lips.
01:43Before I could tell him I got rid of it, his phone rang.
01:46He pulled it out.
01:47The screen lit up.
01:49Little princess.
01:51That's what he called his childhood sweetheart, Serena.
01:54I'd seen it a thousand times.
01:56The way he'd pat her head, grin, and say she'd been his little princess since they were kids.
02:02Never gave a damn how it made me feel when I was still his wife.
02:05Hey baby, what's wrong?
02:06Julian, please, come quick.
02:09I'm on my period, and it hurts so bad.
02:14Don't worry, I'm coming right now.
02:15I gotta check on Serena, I'll come find you later.
02:18Before I could blink, he was gone.
02:20Serena posted to her feed, showing off again.
02:23Julian's hand was on her stomach, rubbing gently.
02:26Her caption, he's loved me most since we were kids.
02:30No matter how important the matter, or how important the person,
02:34as long as I'm not feeling well, he drops everything and rushes to my side,
02:39giving me all his care and love.
02:41He's truly the best man in the world.
02:44I hit like.
02:45Every single day for three years, Serena posted about their relationship.
02:51She posted 1,095 times.
02:54I liked every single one.
02:56She found new ways to flaunt it daily.
02:59Like how she didn't work.
03:00Julian gave her his card, unlimited spending.
03:04She could crash at the place Julian and I used to share whenever she wanted.
03:08My stuff?
03:09She'd use it if she felt like it.
03:11Toss it if she didn't.
03:12For three years, those two did everything couples do.
03:16I knew she posted them for me to see.
03:19Every like was my way of showing I didn't give a shit.
03:22But Serena thought I was jealous, losing my mind, desperate for attention.
03:27Next time I saw Julian was when he and Serena showed up at my coffee shop.
03:35Serena looked around my coffee shop, eyes wide, shocked.
03:39I gave you all that money.
03:41Why are you doing this kind of hard labor?
03:43When we divorced, I asked for half his assets.
03:46He gave it without hesitation.
03:48I stopped making the coffee in my hands, looked up at him.
03:51Because I want to, and it's none of your business.
03:54Serena put on her fake sweet voice.
03:56Chloe, it's been three years.
03:58How have you been?
04:00Great.
04:01Serena looked surprised by how calm I was.
04:04Julian's phone rang.
04:05He turned and went outside to take it.
04:07The second it was just me and Serena, the mask dropped.
04:10Her smile twisted into something smug and taunting.
04:14Stop playing games.
04:16But don't get too excited yet.
04:17Even if you remarry Julian this time, so what?
04:22His mom hates you.
04:24She's always wanted me as her daughter-in-law.
04:27Julian's only remarrying you out of obligation.
04:30He even asked for my permission before coming to find you.
04:33And you're signing a prenup.
04:35Oh, and I wrote it myself.
04:37She pulled a prenup out of her bag and slapped it in front of me.
04:41I glanced down, barely hiding my disgust.
04:46First line, all Chase family assets have nothing to do with you.
04:50After marriage, you cannot call your mother-in-law mom.
04:53Must address her as aunt.
04:55In public, you cannot claim to be Mrs. Chase.
04:58You're the ex-wife only.
05:01The audacity made me laugh.
05:02If his mom loves you so much, how come you're still nobody to him?
05:05Three years and Julian still won't claim you.
05:08How pathetic.
05:10Serena's face twisted.
05:11Her hand flew up to slap me.
05:14Then, Julian's footsteps echoed from behind.
05:17Her expression changed instantly.
05:19Tears streaming.
05:20Playing the martyr.
05:22Chloe, I really do want you and Julian to remarry.
05:25As his childhood friend, I just want him to be happy.
05:27This prenup is just a formality.
05:29Don't be upset, okay?
05:30Serena, what's wrong?
05:31It's nothing.
05:32It's my fault.
05:33Don't blame Chloe.
05:33Chloe, apologize!
05:35A cold smile crept across my face.
05:38He frowned, voice dripping with disappointment.
05:42Serena grew up with me.
05:43She's like my sister.
05:45She's family.
05:46Can you stop being so hostile to her?
05:48For my sake.
05:49Just be nice to her, okay?
05:51My face stayed blank.
05:53I'd seen this exact scene a hundred times three years ago.
05:56I was over it.
05:57I was about to kick them out when my phone rang.
06:00Video call.
06:01The screen lit up.
06:02Baby boy.
06:03Julian's eyes lit up when he saw that.
06:05He hit accept before I could stop him.
06:08Alright, fine.
06:08I grabbed my phone fast.
06:10My two-year-old son's chubby face filled the screen.
06:14Mommy!
06:15I missed you!
06:15Julian heard mommy and went rigid with excitement.
06:19Convinced I'd had his son.
06:20I said a quick word to my son.
06:23I want to see my son.
06:25Serena's face darkened.
06:28He's not your son.
06:30I looked him dead in the eye.
06:32Voice, ice cold.
06:33Stop bothering me, you sick freaks.
06:38Alright, alright.
06:40Stop being mad.
06:41I've really missed you and our son.
06:43I finally got it.
06:44Guys like him.
06:45So full of themselves.
06:47Wouldn't believe I'd stopped loving him until they saw my husband in person.
06:52Mom's birthday is in a few days.
06:54You're a good cook.
06:55Make some of her favorite dishes.
06:57Use this as a chance to fix things between you two.
06:59Now that you've given her a grandson, she won't give you a hard time anymore.
07:02Hmph.
07:02So he knew.
07:03Three years of his mother treating me like garbage.
07:07His mother hated that I came from nothing.
07:09Even though I was Julian's legal wife, she wouldn't let me attend any family dinners.
07:14If she was there, I wasn't allowed at the table.
07:17I hated her too.
07:19Our relationship was walking on eggshells.
07:21We just ignored each other.
07:23And in all of it, he'd stayed silent.
07:25A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
07:28I asked on purpose.
07:30Julian, let's say, hypothetically, what if I cook a whole feast and your mom still won't
07:35let me sit at the table?
07:36He hesitated before answering.
07:37You can say something nice.
07:39Butter her up.
07:39You know how she is.
07:40All bark, no bite.
07:42Serena jumped in with fake helpfulness.
07:44Chloe, it's not shameful to beg your elders.
07:48Aunt Chase can't resist when someone begs at her feet.
07:51She was mocking me, telling me to beg on my knees.
07:54I laughed bitterly.
07:55Julian, three years changes everything.
07:57I'm married now, and the kid isn't yours.
08:00And you, Serena, you should be the one begging on your knees.
08:03Maybe that's your ticket into the Chase family.
08:07Serena's eyes filled with tears.
08:09I shouldn't have said anything.
08:11She covered her mouth and ran out.
08:13First, Julian's face went dark.
08:15How long are you going to keep this up?
08:18Then, he took off after Serena.
08:21My phone buzzed.
08:22Text from my husband.
08:23Wifey, project's done.
08:25Be home tomorrow afternoon.
08:27Relief washed through me.
08:29Once Julian met Silas in person, he'd finally stop this delusional bullshit.
08:34Next day, I'd barely gotten to the coffee shop, when the preschool teacher called out of nowhere.
08:39Said my son got picked up by some guy claiming to be his real dad and his godmother.
08:45My heart jumped to my throat.
08:46I raced to the Chase estate.
08:48Found Serena shoving my son into a dog kennel with a dog and a cat.
08:53My son's been allergic to animal fur since birth.
08:56Dogs, cats.
08:57He can't touch any of them.
08:59He was screaming.
09:00Face red down to his neck.
09:02Red hives were already breaking out on his throat.
09:05Serena ignored his breakdown completely.
09:08Instead, she pushed a cat into my son's arms.
09:11Don't be scared, Leo.
09:12This kitty's three years old.
09:14Technically, your big sister.
09:16She's God Mommy's favorite kitty.
09:19Give her a hug.
09:19Don't be rude.
09:21Crying that loud will scare her.
09:23My son tried to push it away.
09:25Terrified, the black cat's sharp claws raked across his face.
09:29Leaving bloody scratches, he cried harder.
09:32Serena's voice stayed soft.
09:34You're scaring the kitty.
09:37But her eyes were threatening.
09:39Boring into my son.
09:42Get your hands off my son!
09:44I charged forward, furious.
09:46I was inches from grabbing him.
09:49Julian appeared out of nowhere.
09:51Grabbed me from behind.
09:53Pulled me back a few steps.
09:54Serena's just trying to help.
09:56Giving him some playmates.
09:57My eyes burned red.
09:59I whipped around and slapped him across the face.
10:01My son is allergic to animal fur.
10:05His playmates aren't animals.
10:07I spun back to grab my son.
10:09Julian's hand locked around my wrist like a vice.
10:12Serena put on that innocent victim face.
10:15Today's the kitty's third birthday.
10:17She loves playing with kids.
10:20I just thought since Leo's coming back to the Chase family, they should get acquainted.
10:26While she talked, her black cat clawed at my son.
10:30Left a mess of scratches on his arms, neck, face.
10:34She added helpfully.
10:36Don't worry, my cat and dog are vaccinated.
10:38Very clean.
10:40I sleep with the kitty every night.
10:42Watching my son cry so hard he could barely breathe.
10:45I was losing it.
10:47Struggling hard.
10:48Julian held me tighter.
10:50Trying to calm me down.
10:52Boys can't be raised soft.
10:54He's gonna inherit the Chase Empire someday.
10:57Gotta toughen him up.
10:58Can't have him scared of a cat.
11:00Suddenly, my son's eyes rolled back.
11:02He collapsed.
11:03I screamed.
11:05He's going into anaphylactic shock!
11:07Julian finally realized how serious this was.
11:09I shoved past him, scooped up my son, and ran for the hospital.
11:14Julian and Serena followed.
11:16My son was in the ER getting treated.
11:18The doctor handed over a consent form.
11:21Parent or legal guardian needs to sign.
11:23Julian jumped in.
11:24I'm the father.
11:25I'll sign.
11:26He reached for the form.
11:27Then a cold voice cut through from behind.
11:30Since when is my son your son?
11:33I snatched the consent form and signed it fast.
11:38Doctor, is my son okay?
11:42Don't worry.
11:43This is standard procedure.
11:44The patient's still being treated.
11:45You got him here in time.
11:46Shouldn't be any real danger.
11:47He'll be transferred to a room soon.
11:49The doctor's words were like a shot of calm.
11:52I turned around and realized two tall men were locked in a stare down.
11:56The tension thick enough to cut.
11:58Who the hell you?
12:00I stepped closer to Silas, wrapped my arm around his,
12:04making it clear who he was to me.
12:06Word by word, I told Julian.
12:09He's my husband, Simus, and my son's biological father,
12:12and the man who's got our backs.
12:14Silas' face was dark, but when he looked at me, his eyes went soft.
12:19Don't worry.
12:20I'll handle this.
12:20That look made Julian snap.
12:23He grabbed my arm, tried to yank me.
12:25Chloe!
12:26What the hell are you saying?
12:27Leo is obviously my son!
12:29He pointed at Silas' nose, voice dripping with disbelief.
12:34Did you hire this guy just to piss me off?
12:36I raged my hand and slapped him, left a bright red footprint on his face.
12:40You better pray!
12:42Are you my sons okay?
12:43Or you and Serena are gonna pay with your lives!
12:47He surged through me.
12:49My whole body shook.
12:50Out of nowhere, Silas kicked Julian square in the gut.
12:54He doubled over, clutching his stomach, stumbling.
12:56Julian, if anything happens to my son, your whole family goes down with you.
13:01Serena rushed over to help Julian up.
13:04She looked at me, furious and confused.
13:07Chloe, what the hell is this?
13:12Weren't you waiting to remarry Julian?
13:15She sized up Silas, incredulous.
13:18Silas wore a luxury watch on his right wrist, worth millions.
13:22Custom tailored suit, expensive as hell.
13:25She could tell Silas was rich.
13:27Now you're saying you married this guy?
13:29She laughed like it was the most ridiculous thing she'd ever heard.
13:32Everyone knows you're Julian's simp.
13:34You're literally the ultimate simp.
13:35That's the only reason Julian married you.
13:37When you guys divorced, you were one month pregnant.
13:42Leo's over two now.
13:43The timeline matches.
13:44He's Julian's kid.
13:46What the hell are you trying to pull?
13:48Julian straightened up, breathing hard, buying into Serena's logic.
13:52Leo is my son.
13:54Chloe, I didn't think you'd stoop this low.
13:56He looked at Silas with pure contempt.
13:59Don't know where you dug this guy up to mess with me.
14:01But I get it.
14:02We haven't contacted in three years.
14:04You love me so much you must have been lonely as hell.
14:07The three years are up.
14:09I promise I'll never bring up divorce again.
14:11For our son's sake, I need you to calm down and stop this.
14:14His eyes shifted to Silas again, still full of himself.
14:18I don't know how you met this man.
14:19But I need to make something clear.
14:21I'm the only man Chloe's ever had.
14:23The man she chased for two years in college to get.
14:26Our foundation is solid.
14:28The divorce was just a little game we played.
14:31Three years ago, we agreed we'd get get back together.
14:34Chloe loves me too much to not remarry me.
14:37And we have a son together.
14:39I'm telling you this so you don't get too deep into whatever act this is.
14:42Our marriage is between us.
14:45Outsiders should stay out of it.
14:47Still so goddamn sure of himself.
14:49All because back in college, I fell for him at first sight.
14:53That was my first crush.
14:55I went all in with the whole girl chasing guy thing.
14:59At first, he played it cool.
15:01Didn't give me the time of day.
15:03But I didn't quit.
15:04Kept finding excuses to be around him.
15:07Finally, the year his family almost went bankrupt, when everyone avoided him, I was the only one who stuck around.
15:13Even pulled out money I'd saved from part-time jobs.
15:16And told him, I've got some savings.
15:19Can't save your company.
15:20But at least you won't starve.
15:22That got to him.
15:23From that day on, we were together.
15:25Everyone at school called me the queen of simps.
15:28Said I chased Julian down with pure shamelessness.
15:32Senior year, his family turned it around.
15:34Not only avoided bankruptcy, but business ruined.
15:37We're getting married.
15:38That same year, he married me against his parents' wishes.
15:42I became even more devoted to him.
15:45Did whatever he wanted.
15:46Even when he got cozy with Serena.
15:48You're bad.
15:49I only fought with him at home.
15:51Never embarrassed him in public.
15:52So, in everyone's eyes, I loved Julian to my core.
15:56Like a doormat.
15:57Just there for him.
15:59No matter what.
16:00Back to reality.
16:01Hate churned in my gut.
16:02Disgust all over my face.
16:04I stared at Julian, eyes cold.
16:06I used to love you with everything I had.
16:09But now, all I feel is hate.
16:12Not a shred of love left.
16:14Three years ago, when you lost that game to Serena,
16:17that was your last chance.
16:18Once we divorced, I was never coming back.
16:21Julian, you make me sick.
16:22You and Serena did everything behind my back.
16:25And now you have the nerve to ask me to remarry you?
16:29Don't you see how pathetic you are?
16:32What's even more pathetic is thinking I'd have your kid.
16:35Silas pulled me close by the waist.
16:37The day after you divorced, Chloe and I got our marriage license.
16:40The next day, she had an abortion.
16:43A month and a half later, she got pregnant with Leo, my son.
16:48And now she's carrying another one of mine.
16:51Julian, the woman you threw away, has been living her best life with me.
16:55Julian looked like he'd been struck by lightning.
16:57Impossible!
16:59No way!
16:59His eyes went bloodshot, staring at me, demanding answers.
17:04You couldn't have married someone else!
17:06I reminded him.
17:07Remember when I told you some guy was chasing me?
17:09And I said if we ever divorced, I'd marry him?
17:14Julian froze.
17:15It finally clicked.
17:17Silas was the guy who'd been after me years ago.
17:19Back then, I'd just agreed to marry Julian.
17:23Silas told me to think it over,
17:24and offered $300 million to steal me away.
17:28I turned him down.
17:29He asked me,
17:32If you ever get divorced, will you marry me first thing?
17:35Back then?
17:36Naive as hell, I thought I'd never divorce.
17:39I casually said,
17:40Okay.
17:41Didn't think three years later,
17:42I'd actually be divorced.
17:45After the divorce,
17:46I had no plans to look for Silas.
17:48He saw Serena announce my divorce online.
17:51Found me immediately.
17:52Made me keep my promise.
17:54On some weird impulse,
17:56I agreed to get the marriage license with him.
17:59I told Julian back then,
18:00See?
18:01If you don't treat me right,
18:03the second we divorce,
18:05some rich guy's gonna snatch me up.
18:07At the time,
18:08he scrolled through my chat history with Silas,
18:10but didn't take it seriously at all.
18:13Just looked at Silas with total contempt.
18:16Online scammer.
18:17That's all he is.
18:18Only you're naive enough to believe that crap.
18:21I'd met Silas online.
18:23I knew sign language.
18:24He learned it from me.
18:26He used it to communicate with his grandmother.
18:28Even after I told him Silas wasn't a scammer,
18:32Julian still didn't believe me.
18:34Now the man was standing right in front of him.
18:36Reality hit.
18:37The operating room doors opened.
18:39Doctors and nurses wheeled my son out.
18:42Silas and I rushed over.
18:44My son's eyes were open.
18:45Saw the worry on my face.
18:47Sweet kid.
18:48Even now.
18:49Tried to comfort me with a weak voice.
18:52Mommy, don't worry.
18:54It's bad for the baby sister in your belly.
18:56Seeing his little face covered in cat scratches.
18:59Tears I couldn't stop.
19:01I held his hand and nodded.
19:03I followed the doctors taking my son to the VIP room.
19:07Silas told his assistant.
19:09Call the cops.
19:10We're pressing charges.
19:12Julian stood there.
19:13Like the world had ended.
19:15Finally realized he was a complete joke.
19:17No wife.
19:18No son.
19:20Nothing.
19:20Julian wasn't done.
19:22Chased after us.
19:23Chloe, Chloe, we need to talk.
19:26Silas blocked him.
19:27Furious.
19:28Shoved him back against the wall.
19:30Before Julian could react, Silas grabbed his collar like a raging lion.
19:35This isn't over.
19:36I'm going to destroy your family.
19:39Simus.
19:40A doctor's brain shot.
19:41Don't do it.
19:41This is a hospital.
19:43No fighting.
19:44You're disturbing patients.
19:46If the doctor hadn't intervened, Silas' fist would have already connected with Julian's face.
19:51Julian.
19:52The cops showed up and took both Julian and Serena in for questioning.
19:56Two officers came to the room to take statements from me and my son.
20:00Once my son was stable, I left him with the nanny.
20:03Followed Silas and our lawyer to the station to deal with Serena hurting my son.
20:09Julian's lawyer was at the station too.
20:11Julian sat there, dead-eyed, telling the cops, I didn't mean to hurt the kid.
20:16When he mentioned the kid, he still couldn't believe it wasn't his.
20:20I thought he was my son.
20:23As his father, I just brought him home.
20:25I had no intention of hurting him.
20:28Right.
20:28This is all a misunderstanding.
20:30I pulled the paternity test from my bag and threw it in Julian's face.
20:35This is my son's paternity test.
20:38Stop your delusions.
20:40I got rid of your kid.
20:42Julian stared, stunned.
20:43Picked up the report from the floor.
20:46Eyes wide.
20:47Reading every word.
20:49When he saw it confirmed father-son relationship with Silas, he finally broke.
20:54His legs gave out.
20:55Stumbled back a step.
20:57His eyes...
20:57Why did you abort our baby?
20:58Why didn't you tell me?
21:00Demanding answers.
21:01Why did you abort our baby?
21:03Why didn't you tell me?
21:04I laughed bitterly.
21:06My eyes burned too.
21:07I stared right into his furious eyes.
21:10Mine blazed right back.
21:12Why?
21:14You knew.
21:14Want to know why?
21:15I was pregnant and still divorced me over Serena's stupid game.
21:19Three years.
21:19You were dead to me.
21:21No calls.
21:22No texts.
21:23Nothing.
21:24You were so sure I was your simp.
21:26That no matter what you did, I'd take you back.
21:29To you, I was just some pathetic woman with no self-respect.
21:33That's why you could ignore my feelings and cheat on me with your so-called childhood friend.
21:37But Julian, I have a spine.
21:40My love has its limits.
21:42For a cheater like you, divorce was my freedom.
21:45What made you think I'd wait around for you?
21:48He froze, tears welling up.
21:50I choked back the emotion.
21:52These words had been stuck in my chest for years.
21:55Finally saying them felt like a weight lifting off my heart.
21:58I pulled out a video recording from my bag and handed it to the cops.
22:02I'd worn a hidden camera when I went to the Chase Estate.
22:05It caught everything Serena and Julian did to my son.
22:09The video showed me clearly, telling them my son was allergic to animal fur.
22:14They ignored it.
22:15When the cat scratched my son, they stopped me from taking him out.
22:19I told the officer, the evidence is clear.
22:21They deliberately caused serious bodily harm to my son.
22:25I'm pressing full charges.
22:27Julian and Serena forcibly took my son from the preschool.
22:31That's illegal abduction.
22:33Your actions violated the law.
22:36We're detaining you both.
22:38Final sentencing will be decided by the court.
22:42From down the hall, a voice cut in, calm and commanding.
22:46Officer, isn't that conclusion a bit premature?
22:50Julian's mother had arrived, poised as ever.
22:53Serena.
22:54Even with her son about to become a criminal, brought the most famous lawyer.
22:58My eyes went sharp.
22:59I stared her down, voice dripping with sarcasm.
23:03What?
23:04Mrs. Chase challenging the law now?
23:06Well, she looked at me with pure disgust.
23:09Isn't this just about money?
23:12Name your price.
23:14I actually laughed.
23:15She kept up that superior act.
23:17You left the Chase family and found another man.
23:20Can't afford to raise the kids, so you pull this stunt.
23:24Name your price.
23:26I'll treat it like feeding another pet.
23:28Losing some money won't hurt.
23:30Silas stepped forward.
23:32No wonder Julian's a dumbass.
23:34I suppose it runs in the family.
23:38Mrs. Chase frowned, sizing Silas up.
23:41Silas pulled a business card from his suit pocket, held it in front of her face.
23:46Think I can't afford to raise my son?
23:48Mrs. Chase looked like she'd been struck by lightning.
23:52Eyes went wide.
23:54Simus Astrin?
23:56That's right.
23:57Mrs. Chase was shook.
23:58Never expected I'd divorced and married up.
24:01Julian had no clue who Silas was, but she did.
24:04The Astor family was the richest in the capital.
24:06The Astor of Nora family control ideal.
24:08Silas is the only son.
24:09Anyone who's laid was there in the South Brisbane is just kind of life.
24:12Spent years abroad handling overseas business.
24:13Only came back to the country two years ago.
24:15When the world asks us to rush.
24:17In just two or three years, he'd become a business powerhouse.
24:20The guy everyone wanted to work with.
24:22She'd been trying to get Julian to partner with the Astor family.
24:26The woman who'd been looking down her nose at me seconds ago, now stood there, frozen and awkward.
24:33Chloe!
24:33My mother-in-law appeared out of nowhere.
24:36Chloe!
24:36Eyes full of concern, she rushed over.
24:39She grabbed my hands, worried.
24:40Are you hurt?
24:41I shook my head slightly.
24:43No, Mom.
24:44What are you doing back?
24:46She'd been on vacation in Haichung yesterday.
24:48Didn't expect her to rush back so fast.
24:51Something this serious happens and I'm supposed to stay away?
24:54Let nobody like this mess with you?
24:57When she said that, her eyes cut to Mrs. Chase like knives.
25:01Mrs. Chase's head dropped a little, like a dog before a larger one.
25:05Nervous, uncomfortable.
25:07She forced an awkward smile, trying to save face.
25:10Sorry, Mrs. Astor.
25:12Didn't realize there was such a big misunderstanding.
25:15My mother-in-law turned to face her, voice cold with contempt.
25:20Misunderstanding?
25:21There's no such thing as a misunderstanding in my book.
25:25Anyone who hurts my daughter-in-law will pay.
25:28When she said it, her eyes held pure threat.
25:31Looked at Mrs. Chase, then at Julian.
25:34Mrs. Chase's face went pale.
25:37Panic set in.
25:38She looked at me, scrambling.
25:40I'm so sorry, Mrs. Astor.
25:42I lost my mind earlier.
25:44I was wrong.
25:45Please, let it go.
25:47Don't hold it against me.
25:48I was stunned.
25:49I never thought the high and mighty Mrs. Chase would go off.
25:53So this is what it feels like to have the Astor's hand with power, didn't I, all over again?
25:57A bitter smile touched my lips.
26:01Never thought I'd see the day you'd humble yourself in front of me.
26:04She gave that same awkward smile.
26:06I kept going.
26:07I'm usually pretty forgiving, but not with you.
26:10I hold grudges.
26:12Mrs. Chase's smile froze.
26:14I linked arms with my mother-in-law.
26:16Mom, let the lawyer handle this.
26:19I'll take you home.
26:21Silas gave the lawyer one more warning.
26:23Anyone tries to pull strings behind the scenes, they're making an enemy of the Astor family.
26:29I really didn't mean it.
26:30Serena's panic.
26:31Please give me one more chance.
26:32I don't want to go to jail.
26:33I got a crying echoed.
26:34I really didn't mean it.
26:35Please, please, help me.
26:36Please, give me one more chance.
26:37I don't want to go to jail.
26:39Aunt Chase, please help me.
26:41Mrs. Chase didn't dare say a word.
26:43Hello?
26:43Mrs. Chase showed up at our door with expensive gifts.
26:46If Julian went to prison, not only would the company have no one running it, but their
26:51reputation would tank.
26:52Most importantly, Mrs. Chase was terrified the Astor family would retaliate.
26:57So, to minimize the damage, she was willing to lose every shred of dignity.
27:02She knelt in the Astor family living room, groveling, eyes red.
27:06As long as the Astor family lets the Chase family go, I'll do anything.
27:11In this house, Chloe makes the decisions.
27:16Whether we forgive you depends on what she thinks.
27:21I sat next to my mother-in-law.
27:23She held my hand, gave it a gentle pat, and smiled at me warmly.
27:27We'd been married nearly three years.
27:30Our relationship was like mother and daughter.
27:32She treated me better than she treated Silas.
27:34I'd always felt like I didn't deserve it.
27:37After all, my first marriage, Julian's mother, looked down on me, treated me like I was nothing.
27:43Going into this marriage, I was terrified a wealthy mother-in-law wouldn't accept me either
27:47because of our different backgrounds.
27:50Turns out, my mother-in-law was amazing.
27:52I even asked her once,
27:54Mom, why she was so good to me?
27:56Didn't my background bother her?
27:58Her answer,
27:59I love my son.
28:00All I know is that he's incredibly happy with you.
28:03You make him happy.
28:05As his mother, I'm grateful.
28:07So I'll love what he loves.
28:09You're the woman my son loves.
28:11I'd never do anything to hurt him.
28:13He's my only son.
28:14Raised him with everything I had.
28:16He's been smart since he was little.
28:19Never made a bad decision.
28:21So I trust him.
28:22Mrs. Chase was shocked that I had this kind of status in the Astor family.
28:26She knelt in front of me like a pathetic mess, crying.
28:30Mrs. Astor, please, give the Chase family one chance.
28:34Whatever it takes for you to forgive us, I'll do it.
28:38I knew for someone as proud as Mrs. Chase,
28:41making her kneel and say this was like making her eat dirt.
28:44My face stayed blank.
28:46Julian and Serena broke the law.
28:49My son almost died because of them.
28:52Mrs. Chase, you've been proud your whole life.
28:55Today you're groveling for your son.
28:56As a mother, you'd do anything for your child.
28:59I'm a mother too.
29:01You think I'd forgive the people who hurt my son?
29:04Tears streamed down her face.
29:06She slammed her head against the floor.
29:08Please, my son can't go to jail.
29:08Please, I'll go to prison instead.
29:11Please, my son can't go to jail.
29:14I had the bodyguards escort her out.
29:16After that, every time Mrs. Chase came, she got turned away.
29:21Eventually, she gave up, stopped coming.
29:23Silas moved fast.
29:25Before the court ruling even came down,
29:28he'd already bought out several of the Chase family's major clients and shareholders.
29:32Used every resource he had to destroy Julian.
29:36Now the Chase family's investors were pulling out,
29:39losing major projects on the verge of collapse.
29:42Julian was desperate, but couldn't do a damn thing.
29:45Three months later, the trial.
29:48Julian got two years in prison.
29:50Serena got four years.
29:51No, not me!
29:52She was the mastermind.
29:53She'd forced the cat into my son's arms.
29:56The second month after Julian went to prison,
29:58the Chase Corporation went completely bankrupt.
30:01I safely gave birth to my daughter.
30:04Silas and my mother-in-law were overjoyed,
30:06treated me even better.
30:08Our life became happier than ever,
30:10just when I thought I'd never cross paths with the Chase family again.
30:14Mrs. Chase, completely unhinged, stalked me.
30:18Bitch!
30:19It's all your fault!
30:22You ruined my son!
30:24Ruin the Chase family!
30:27Die!
30:27I dodged her first stab, eyes sharp, reflexes fast.
30:32Got her under control in time.
30:34I called the cops and had her arrested.
30:36She got three years.
30:38After that, Silas doubled the security around me.
30:41Five years later, I ran into Julian again.
30:44He was everywhere, begging investors,
30:47trying to rebuild the Chase empire.
30:49Silas and I were at a restaurant with the kids when we saw him.
30:52The second he saw me, he froze, stared at me for a long time,
30:57eyes full of something complicated.
30:59I didn't look at him twice, just took the kids and left.
31:03Suddenly, behind us, he shouted,
31:06Silas, I'm getting back everything I lost!
31:08Silas, I'm getting back everything I lost!
31:09Including Chloe!
31:11Chloe!
31:11Neither of us responded.
31:12Chloe!
31:13After all these years, Julian was still just as delusional.
31:17Thank you so much for joining us.
