00:00:00My name was Haley Morgan. Today was the day I walked out of prison. Four years served. No family waited
00:00:07outside for me.
00:00:09Haley Morgan, you're free now. Keep your nose clean out there.
00:00:15I looked up and saw a luxury car waiting outside the prison gate.
00:00:21My own parents didn't come. How pathetic.
00:00:25And the person who came to pick me up was Emily, the friend I trusted most.
00:00:29She walked towards me in heels, still as sharp and dazzling as ever.
00:00:33Haley, I came to pick you up. What are you doing here?
00:00:37You got out today. No way I was missing this.
00:00:40Food first, or do you want to go straight back to the Morgans?
00:00:44The Morgans? The Morgans.
00:00:47Four years ago, they sent me to prison with their own hands.
00:00:51The Morgan residence stopped being my home a long time ago.
00:00:56Neither.
00:00:59Then where do you want to go?
00:01:03I need to get married first.
00:01:08What?
00:01:11Prison taught me one thing.
00:01:14If you want to survive, you have to be more ruthless than everyone else.
00:01:18And right now, I needed a man powerful enough.
00:01:22Enough to take me back and help me collect every debt.
00:01:25Take me to Link Golf Club.
00:01:28You just got out and you're already looking for trouble?
00:01:32Not trouble.
00:01:36I'm going to take what belongs to me.
00:01:40Today, I was going to meet the most dangerous man in Flanmarie.
00:01:46And my future husband.
00:01:50I had just gotten out of prison, and I walked straight into Flanmarie's most elite golf club.
00:01:56Today, the entire place had been cleared for one man.
00:02:01Caden Evans.
00:02:03The current head of the Evans family.
00:02:05Cold, dangerous, untouchable.
00:02:08Grandpa, stop bringing up that engagement.
00:02:10Push me again and I'll wipe out the Morgans.
00:02:14The call ended.
00:02:17The next second, I saw him raise his golf club.
00:02:22And his tee was not a golf tee.
00:02:24It was a living man.
00:02:27Don't move.
00:02:28Ruin my shot, and you know the consequences.
00:02:35Ball flew.
00:02:36Hole in one.
00:02:39Brutal.
00:02:40I liked it.
00:02:41Suddenly, a bodyguard reached to block me.
00:02:43Stop!
00:02:43You're not allowed in here!
00:02:44He reached to block me.
00:02:46I kicked him away.
00:02:48Ah!
00:02:53I walked towards Caden.
00:02:57Is this how you treat your future fiancé?
00:03:01Fiancé?
00:03:02I've never met a woman bold enough to speak to me like that.
00:03:04Caden's expression shifted from surprise as he studied the audacious woman before him.
00:03:08You'll be the last.
00:03:13He turned to leave.
00:03:14I walked straight toward him.
00:03:17Caden Evans.
00:03:21Remember me?
00:03:24I'm your future fiancé.
00:03:32Caden had no intention of entertaining me, but I knew exactly how to make him stop.
00:03:41Your grandfather has been pressuring you to get married, hasn't he?
00:03:45You have 60 seconds.
00:03:47Then I'll make it quick.
00:03:48We enter a contract marriage.
00:03:51You keep your grandfather off your back, and I borrow your power.
00:03:56What makes you think I'd give you that opportunity?
00:04:00Good.
00:04:01I slightly verted my gaze, my eyes full of calculation.
00:04:05I glanced at the project file on the ground.
00:04:09This.
00:04:11Utopia.
00:04:13You need someone to take it over.
00:04:14You want Utopia?
00:04:17Let's make a bet.
00:04:18If I make a hole-in-one, the project is mine.
00:04:24You really are bold.
00:04:27Do you dare take the bet?
00:04:29He stared at me for two seconds, then smiled.
00:04:32Fine.
00:04:35I picked up the club.
00:04:37This shot wasn't just about winning a project.
00:04:41I was telling him I was worth it.
00:04:43The ball flew beautifully, like a blade cutting through the sky.
00:04:51It went in!
00:04:53I handed him the file.
00:04:55Your turn.
00:04:58Caden opened the file, and his expression changed instantly.
00:05:03Get the car.
00:05:04Where to, sir?
00:05:05The Morgan house.
00:05:07To talk about the engagement.
00:05:09Caden turned around and strode away, with his assistant hurrying to follow closely behind.
00:05:17The game had finally begun.
00:05:22When I returned to the Morgan house, they were preparing an engagement banquet for Emmalyn.
00:05:29How festive.
00:05:32My biological parents were personally placing their adopted daughter where I should have been.
00:05:38Emma, you must look perfect today.
00:05:40Once the Evans family agrees, the Morgan family is secure.
00:05:44I'll do my best, Mom.
00:05:47Sir.
00:05:49Miss Haley Morgan is back.
00:05:51Why did she have to come back today of all days?
00:05:54Give her some money and send her away.
00:05:58I stood at the doorway and heard every word.
00:06:06Dad.
00:06:08Mom.
00:06:14You really don't look happy to see me.
00:06:19Hayley.
00:06:20Don't misunderstand.
00:06:22I've missed you all this time.
00:06:25She reached for my hand with that fake sweet expression.
00:06:28I raised my hand and slapped her hard.
00:06:35That slap is what you owed me from four years ago.
00:06:43Hayley!
00:06:44Have you lost your mind?
00:06:46You dare hit Emma?
00:06:49Why wouldn't I?
00:06:51I am the biological daughter of the Morgan family.
00:06:55She is just an adopted daughter.
00:06:59Living in my place.
00:07:00Emmalyn clutched her face and tears spilled instantly.
00:07:03She looked convincingly heartbroken.
00:07:06Too bad for her.
00:07:07I wouldn't play along this time.
00:07:12That slap finally reminded them of four years ago.
00:07:15Hayley!
00:07:16Don't push this too far!
00:07:18Emma has been think of you all these years.
00:07:21And you hit her the minute you come back?
00:07:24Thinking of me?
00:07:27You mean the kind of thinking of me that sent me to prison?
00:07:30Hayley, I know you hate me.
00:07:33But back then it really was an accident.
00:07:36An accident?
00:07:37I stared at Harold.
00:07:39Dad, should I repeat the truth about that car crash in front of Regav everyone?
00:07:44Harold's face went pale instantly.
00:07:48Shut your mouth!
00:07:49Enough!
00:07:50He immediately took out his phone.
00:07:54One hundred million.
00:07:56I'll transfer it to you right now.
00:07:59Take the money and keep your mouth shut.
00:08:01My phone pinged with the transfer notification.
00:08:04One hundred million.
00:08:06Received.
00:08:09That's very generous.
00:08:11You got your money.
00:08:12Now get out.
00:08:13Who said I was leaving?
00:08:15Everyone in the room froze.
00:08:18That one hundred million was only your hush money.
00:08:21It wasn't enough to buy me out.
00:08:23I was back.
00:08:24And I was not leaving again.
00:08:28Harold threw one hundred million at me and still couldn't get rid of me.
00:08:31So my dear mother finally dropped the act.
00:08:34Guards!
00:08:34A group of bodyguards closed in immediately.
00:08:37Hayley.
00:08:38I don't care what kind of monster you've become out there.
00:08:41This is not a place for you to go wild.
00:08:43Hold her down!
00:08:46I stayed where I am and rolled my wrist once.
00:08:48They probably still thought I was the same Hayley from four years ago.
00:08:52You want to know what I learned in prison?
00:08:55Move!
00:08:57The first one charged at me.
00:08:59I grabbed his wrist and twisted until it broke.
00:09:04The second one swinged.
00:09:05I drove my knee straight into his ribs.
00:09:08The third one barely got close before I kicked him flat.
00:09:11Three seconds.
00:09:12Every guard is down.
00:09:17How is that possible?
00:09:21Hayley!
00:09:22You lunatic!
00:09:23I shook out my hand.
00:09:24My breathing wasn't even uneven.
00:09:27Prison didn't destroy me.
00:09:29It only forged me into someone none of you can afford to provoke.
00:09:33Just then, footsteps sounded from the front entrance.
00:09:36The real show had begun.
00:09:40Guards lay scattered across the floor.
00:09:42Right when the Morgan family was in complete chaos.
00:09:45Caden Evans has arrived!
00:09:47Mr. Evans has arrived.
00:09:49The whole room fell silent instantly.
00:09:54Caden!
00:09:55She still thought he came for her.
00:09:57Her eyes lighted up at once.
00:09:59Mr. Evans!
00:10:00Welcome!
00:10:01Emma, go to him!
00:10:03Caden, I...
00:10:04Be quiet.
00:10:07She froze.
00:10:10I didn't come here for you.
00:10:16I came to honor the marriage agreement.
00:10:19Of course, of course.
00:10:21Emma is already...
00:10:22I wasn't talking about her.
00:10:27He looked at me.
00:10:30The woman I'm going to marry is Hayley.
00:10:32The air itself seemed to please.
00:10:36That's impossible!
00:10:39Mr. Evans, are you mistaken?
00:10:42I advise you choose Emmeline.
00:10:44Don't choose Hayley.
00:10:45She's a burden.
00:10:46She just got out of prison.
00:10:49So what?
00:10:54She's the one I chose.
00:10:55Emmeline's face turned ghostly pale.
00:10:57I looked at her and finally felt a little better.
00:11:00She finally tasted what it felt like to fall from grace.
00:11:05After Caden publicly took my side, we went into the garden.
00:11:08It was just the two of us, but the air between us was even more dangerous than it had been
00:11:13inside.
00:11:13Where exactly did that file you gave me come from?
00:11:16That's not the question you should be asking.
00:11:18Then what should I ask?
00:11:20Ask about your mother.
00:11:26His gaze turned instantly cold.
00:11:29That car crash wasn't an accident.
00:11:33Keep talking.
00:11:35The driver was named Dahlia.
00:11:37She's dead.
00:11:39Dead?
00:11:40Yes.
00:11:41But the one who truly wanted your mother dead is still alive.
00:11:44He grabbed me by the throat.
00:11:48Hayley.
00:11:52You better not be playing with me.
00:11:55I didn't flinch.
00:11:56I didn't fear him.
00:11:57Caden.
00:11:58If you want the truth, you have no choice but to work with me.
00:12:03His fingers tightened for a second, then slowly released.
00:12:07I knew I made the right bet.
00:12:08I'd already dragged this man into my game.
00:12:15After the garden talk, I walked back into the Morgan house.
00:12:18Since I was back, some things should finally return to their rightful owner.
00:12:23Leland.
00:12:24Yes, Miss Morgan?
00:12:25Take people to Emmeline's room.
00:12:26Throw every single thing she owns out into the hall.
00:12:29I...
00:12:29Did I stutter?
00:12:30The servants all froze where they stood.
00:12:32They were scared.
00:12:33Too bad for them.
00:12:34They feared me more now.
00:12:35I am the true daughter of the Morgan family.
00:12:38Everything here that doesn't belong to her stays no longer.
00:12:45Soon, the hallway was piled high with Emmeline's luxury belongings.
00:12:49Dresses, heels, jewelry, bags.
00:12:52All bought with the life she stole from me.
00:12:57Haley!
00:12:58Have you gone mad?
00:13:02That room was always mine.
00:13:06I look down and spot the jewelry case she treasured most.
00:13:12in the next second i crushed it under my heel beautiful sound i'd been waiting four years to
00:13:20hear that sound emelyn's belongings covered the hallway she was crying like her world is ending
00:13:27and harold had finally lost his temper bring me the whip a wooden box was brought forward

00:24:52the whole room went silent again
00:24:55this wasn't me demanding an apology

00:25:04two rounds of humiliation both sent right back where they came from
00:25:09now it was finally my turn to speak

00:25:52the second i finished speaking the room stayed silent
00:25:56then the applause started
00:25:59first one or two people
00:26:01then the entire hall rose to its feet
00:26:04emelyn stood below the stage looking half dead
00:26:07she thought tonight would be my public humiliation
00:26:09instead it became my coronation
00:26:11but i knew it still wasn't enough because the next step
00:26:14i wanted more than applause
00:26:15i wanted morgan group
00:26:18the applause had barely faded at the recognition of sanyu
00:26:21then i made my second move
00:26:23i want to enter morgan group
00:26:25what did you just say
00:26:28you a convicted was bended woman who want to enter morgan group
00:26:32this was my dear brother i had just returned and his first instinct was not to welcome me
00:26:36it was to shove me back into the mud
00:26:37hayley stop this
00:26:39the company is not a place for you to run wild
00:26:42hayley i know you want to prove yourself
00:26:44but frankie has worked so hard for the group all these years
00:26:48so
00:26:50because he's incompetent i have to stay outside the door of power forever
00:26:56hayley
00:27:02didn't you want to ask what right i had i raised my hand and threw the file onto the table
00:27:09then open your eyes and look
00:27:11i didn't come here tonight to beg for permission to enter
00:27:15i came to breach
00:27:20when i threw the file down frankie was still smirking he thought i was bluffing again
00:27:27the utopia project it is now under my watch
00:27:32ridiculous
00:27:34utopia is the evans family's 10 billion dollar project
00:27:40who do you think you are
00:27:44i'm the one who got it grandpa opened the file
00:27:50he changed expression after only two pages
00:27:57this has cadence personal signature on it
00:28:01the banquet hall erupted at once signed personally by mr evans
00:28:05she really secured utopia
00:28:09impossible
00:28:12this must be fake
00:28:15fake then call caden right now
00:28:19ask him whether this contract is fake frankie stopped talking
00:28:22because he didn't dare he knew the moment the call connected he'd look even more pathetic
00:28:27and i enjoyed watching him afraid
00:28:32the moment the utopia file came out everything shifted
00:28:36the people who had been waiting for my embarrassment were now all watching frankie
00:28:41enough
00:28:42utopia alone is enough to qualify hayley for morgan group
00:28:46grandpa she doesn't even understand company operations
00:28:52so what you've worked here for years what exact contribution have you done for the group
00:28:57frankie's face turned pale instantly that line hit harder than a slap
00:29:01from today onward
00:29:04hayley is appointed project manager
00:29:06grandpa but quiet emilyn bit her lip her eyes full of resentment she had spent years playing the morgan
00:29:13daughter and now i'd returned and taken her place and the power that came with it project manager
00:29:22i'll take the position getting into morgan group was only the beginning next i was going to make them give
00:29:28back everything they were holding
00:29:33grandpa had just announced my appointment when two more groups entered from the doors
00:29:37the first was leading by emery the second was thaddeus and his people
00:29:45hayley congratulations
00:29:49she lifted her hand and an assistant handed over a file
00:29:53this is my gift for you west district development rights it's yours now
00:30:02west district development rights
00:30:06even his voice changed because he'd been eyeing it for two years and still couldn't get it
00:30:14miss hayley morgan what happened at the nightclub was my mistake
00:30:20this is my apology he handed over another starlight club
00:30:24from today onward it's yours too the hall went dead silent one handed me government's project
00:30:31weavingly riddled proverb the other offered a club owned by gangs
00:30:36after tonight no one in flan mary would dare mess with me
00:30:43emily and thaddeus had just finished when the real heavyweight arrived mr walter emmams has arrived
00:30:55the entire room rose to its feet even harold changed his expression instantly mr evans your presence is an
00:31:06honor for my family i didn't come for you he looked directly at me
00:31:14hayley mr evans
00:31:18i came here to say one thing hayley is my fiancee the room exploded
00:31:29impossible
00:31:35mr evans is there some misunderstanding walter slowly clenched his fingers into a fist
00:31:42misunderstanding
00:31:45anyone who dares bully her
00:31:49is challenging the evans family his words were like a blade driven straight into the chest of
00:31:56every morgan in the room at last they understood behind me stood more than my grandpa the entire evans
00:32:04evans family was backing me too
00:32:09with the evans family backing me it was finally time to settle the most valuable debt of the night
00:32:16emmeline i turned toward her
00:32:20she instinctively stepped back the five percent stake in morgan group in your name
00:32:25it's time to give it back
00:32:30haley don't go too far i gave those shares to emma you gave them to her
00:32:37you took morgan property and gifted it to an adopted daughter

00:33:16emmeline lay in carol's arms pretending she was on the verge of death
00:33:21hayley emma is already like this and you still want to pressure her pressure her
00:33:26i'm helping her i'm helping her i walked over and grabbed emmeline by the wrist
00:33:33i pressed one pressure point and her whole body went rigid
00:33:37it hurts it hurts it hurts
00:33:43so you are awake
00:33:46the room fell silent she'd been pretending to faint until i forced her awake
00:33:51interesting emma since you're awake sign it
00:33:58the share transfer agreement was placed in front of her dad mom sign it
00:34:06that simple words crushed the last of her pride her hand shook as she signed the five percent stake
00:34:14finally became mine
00:34:19tonight i didn't just take back my identity i took back money too
00:34:26the hr director eyed me with contempt on sight fill this form out first
00:34:33i looked down none of this belonged on an employment form it was pure humiliation
00:34:40what too scared to fill it in not scared i just think you're stupid
00:34:46you i tossed my phone on the desk the screen lit up with a hotel video of him and his
00:34:52secretary
00:34:53how do you have that so do you still want me to fill out that form no need
00:35:01i took back my phone and walked in on my heels so this was their idea of a welcome
00:35:06not bad at least it was enough for a warm-up
00:35:13i'm not bad at least it was enough for a warm-up
00:35:13emma from today on you'll work on projects with me
00:35:18okay she looked at me with triumph dripping from her eyes
00:35:24this time the partner is crescent capital emma you'll handle it
00:35:33half an hour later the partner representative arrived
00:35:39sorry for this project we only negotiate with miss hayley morgan
00:35:44what didn't you hear him this project was introduced by pioneer group i only recognize hayley
00:35:53emelyn's face stiffened instantly frankie's face turned dark as burned metal
00:36:02the partner only recognized me every one of frankie's calculations shattered on the spot
00:36:10hayley he looked at me like he was grinding his teeth into dust you take over this project
00:36:16now you remember me don't push it push it weren't you the one saying someone like me doesn't belong in
00:36:25the morgan group and now the project is stuck in your hands you sure know how to change your attitude
00:36:31fast frankie morgan either you let hayley take over
00:36:37or this partnership is over frankie's face changed again and again you want me to take over
00:36:44fine beg me you everyone in the room was looking at him the proud morgan air had been
00:36:50forced into a corner by me for the first time a few seconds later frankie dropped to his knees with
00:36:55a thud
00:36:59i looked down at him and finally smiled this was only the beginning
00:37:05i thought cayden taking my side and shielding me in public was already insane enough
00:37:09then the very next day he dragged me straight to the marriage register you're actually serious
00:37:13weren't you the one who said you wanted to marry me first
00:37:15i said contract marriage marriage is still married he said it with that cold face of his
00:37:20yet somehow it sounded more domineering than anything else please fill in the form i'm
00:37:26know you to the swick he looked down at me as i signed my name his gaze dark and hot
00:37:31all done
00:37:33congratulations one marriage certificate and we were tied together for real
00:37:39cayden say darling don't push your luck but the line of his jaw tightened for a very obvious reason
00:37:49interesting this man's words were ice cold but his reactions were far more honest
00:37:57on the same day we got married i hadn't even finished processing the fact that i was now married
00:38:01then walter cayden's grandfather suddenly showed up i'm staying here tonight that suddenly what
00:38:08not welcoming an old man like me i glanced at cayden he looked calm enough but i quickly found out
00:38:13why he was so calm since you're legally married now don't sleep in separate rooms i'll personally
00:38:19make sure of that tonight great straight to sharing a bed faster than i'd expected
00:38:34that night i came out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel
00:38:41cayden looked up at exactly the wrong moment what mr evans you've never seen a woman before
00:38:53be quiet go to sleep
00:38:59he turned his eyes away too fast fast enough to make it obvious he was hiding something
00:39:14your heart beats a little fast you're too noisy
00:39:19i haven't even moved your breathing is noisy too
00:39:24the next morning walter saw the matching rings on our fingers immediately
00:39:31good you finally look like a married couple
00:39:36the old man left satisfied
00:39:41the second the door closed cayden transferred money to me
00:39:45100 million what's this for your performance fee performance
00:39:53i walked toward him slowly caden which one of us do you think was performing harder last night
00:40:02he looked at me and his gaze deepened instantly money is the safest kind of relationship i was
00:40:10starting to want more than money from him
00:40:14late at night caden was asleep but i opened my laptop and kept digging into the crash from four years
00:40:22ago
00:40:25in prison i learned more than just how to fight data can overturn a case too i pulled up old
00:40:32surveillance
00:40:32call logs and shell numbers page after page
00:40:43finally one broken line connected before she died dahlia had been in contact with a shell number
00:40:59in the corner of an old traffic camera clip i saw someone standing at the crash scene
00:41:05that person was darren so this was never just dahlia
00:41:15the one who truly shaded that crash had been hiding behind the curtain all along
00:41:21the truth you're after is finally starting to show its face
00:41:31darren you finally showed yourself
00:41:36the next morning caden pinned we against the study door how did you get that lead let go first
00:41:46answer me didn't you already know i have a lot of secrets his voice was low but the pressure was
00:41:53heavier than usual haley how much more are you hiding enough to make sure you can't walk away from me
00:42:02so the man you suspect is darren
00:42:06my uncle the one who's hidden himself best all these years and the one most capable of this
00:42:14not suspect he's the most likely
00:42:20the blurred footage the shell number the edge of scene shot
00:42:26they all point to him but we're still missing the final cut the proof that nails him
00:42:33then from today on darren is target number one
00:42:44after dealing with the company and the crash investigation i went to melina's jewelry boutique
00:42:51years ago she was my best friend
00:42:56so you finally decided to come see me i've been busy getting married and ruining people's lives
00:43:04sounds like you're doing just fine
00:43:09i had just smiled when several people walked in
00:43:15well if it isn't prison girl haley so you can afford jewelry stores now
00:43:26get out
00:43:28and who do you think you are
00:43:35why do people never learn the second she said it the bodyguards behind her started toward me move
00:43:45i reached up and caught his wrist the next second his whole body slammed into the floor
00:44:03less than 10 seconds all down the store went silent again
00:44:12good i liked this kind of silence
00:44:21the bodyguards were all on the floor
00:44:25karen and paula finally started to fear
00:44:28how dare you melina stepped out from behind the counter in high shoes
00:44:35she wore black today sharp as a blade
00:44:38have you still not figured out whose place this is
00:44:42it's just a jewelry stop just a jewelry stop she smiled
00:44:50then she reached up and turned on the full lighting
00:44:54the entire store lit up like a palace
00:45:00elysian gems i built it for hayley
00:45:04every piece of jewelry here belongs to her
00:45:09what what what karen's legs nearly gave out beneath her
00:45:17they had come to humiliate me instead they found out they couldn't afford even one diamond in this store
00:45:27i'm sorry say it on your knees and they actually did
00:45:37i looked down at them and barely felt a thing
00:45:40opponents at this level were no longer worth my anger
00:45:49as karen and paula knelt on the floor the boutique doors opened again
00:45:55i turned around and saw caiden perfect timing
00:46:00at last the starlight rings have found someone worthy
00:46:07the diamonds were cold like starlight
00:46:11hayley this one is yours the other one can go on your husband's hand
00:46:16will you wear it why not
00:46:28he took the ring and slid it onto my finger himself
00:46:32then i put the other one on him
00:46:36the moment our hands locked together everyone in the store went quiet
00:46:41from this moment on
00:46:44anyone who messes with her messes with me
00:46:48i liked the way he protected me in public
00:46:50and i liked how he was slowly becoming mine
00:46:57some people were protecting me loudly which only made others more desperate to destroy me
00:47:04and emma lan was the most desperate of them all
00:47:08that day i returned to the company and found the designs on my desk gone
00:47:16who entered my office oh only miss morgan came by
00:47:22good i turned around and went straight to find her
00:47:27hayley what brings you here where are my design drafts
00:47:34what design drafts she acted very convincing but i know her too well
00:47:39the more innocent she looked the more guilty she was
00:47:43it didn't take long to find out where she'd sent them
00:47:50tyler
00:47:52the morgan family's arrogant third son
00:47:55emma you're incredible these designs are definitely award-worthy
00:47:59on the screen emmelyn smiled sweetly on my side my smile was colder
00:48:07she stole from me again good
00:48:12i loved watching thieves get caught
00:48:16i had originally planned to deal with emmelyn first
00:48:20but one phone call shattered every plan talk
00:48:24my face darkened instantly
00:48:28where is she
00:48:29the hospital her brother has her tied down he's going to forcefully take her kidney for their
00:48:34grandfather
00:48:40what happened melina's been taken someone thinks they can turn her into an organ bank while i'm
00:48:45still breathing my voice stayed flat but caden looked at me and his expression changed
00:48:50because he knew the calmer i sound the more i want blood get the car ready
00:48:57and tell thadmius to bring some men i changed my clothes and turned to leave
00:49:02tonight someone was going to regret hurting my bestie
00:49:11the hospital corridor was long and the light was blindingly white i walked straight in with
00:49:15battery as men behind me miss morgan my men are here no one dared stop us
00:49:20because the look on on my face explained everything guard every exit
00:49:24no one leaves tonight
00:49:37kaden walked beside me without saying a word but the quieter he was the more
00:49:42i knew he was holding back his anger the room is at the end of the hall four bodyguards stood
00:49:47outside
00:49:47the room i looked at them once and they instinctively stepped back half a step i walked forward with firm
00:49:53steps and the frame advanced steadily toward the four bodyguards at the door keeping pace with me
00:50:21the room smelled of antiseptic
00:50:26so you finally made it and another smell that disgusted me the smell of family she's our family
00:50:35he stood by the bed like he was looking at merchandise
00:50:39what's wrong with her giving up a kidney i stood there so furious i actually smiled
00:50:46you dare say the word family you're an outsider stay out of our family business outsider
00:50:54she was tied to a bed until the ropes rubbed her wrists raw
00:50:58and you want to tell me this is family
00:51:15i'm saving our grandpa she grew up eating our food and using our money now it's her turn to repay
00:51:23the family

00:52:11i turn to look at melina on the bed
00:52:17get up hit him back yourself
00:52:26melina's hands were shaking when the ropes were cut
00:52:29but when she looked at her brother her eyes slowly turned cold
00:52:35melina don't be stupid melina don't be stupid
00:52:38melina don't be stupid
00:52:40i'm your brother
00:52:42you don't deserve that title
00:52:45this one is for treating me like an organ bank
00:52:47this one is for weaponizing the word family against me
00:52:51and this one
00:52:53is for every disgusting thing you thought you had the right to do
00:52:56he was on his knees his face already swollen but i knew it still wasn't enough

00:53:05they need to be broken
00:53:07you know was done now it was my turn too far one of his wrists
00:53:16broken everyone in the room was shocked by the scene
00:53:20he screamed like he was dying
00:53:23i switched to the other side
00:53:25hayley please please
00:53:29too late
00:53:31this is the price for tying her down if there is ever a next time
00:53:36it won't be your wrists i break
00:53:39everyone in the room inhaled sharply the other second one broke too
00:53:42this is the price for tying her down
00:53:44tonight i had already been merciful
00:53:48we had barely finished at the hospital when someone else stirred up trouble
00:53:52the international jewelry design competition released its finalist list
00:53:58and the name on the list wasn't mine
00:54:01dad mom i made the finals
00:54:05my daughter is incredible
00:54:10i knew you would never disappoint us
00:54:19i stared at the finalist list list and slowly smiled
00:54:24i knew those sketches better than anyone because they were mine
00:54:29she had become addicted to stealing from me
00:54:32this time she stole her way onto an international stage

00:54:48it was time for an old account of mine to return
00:55:01i could even type that account and password blindfolded
00:55:07so you're finally willing to reveal that identity
00:55:10she's gone too far
00:55:13i need to remind her who she's messing with
00:55:15i logged into the backhound and pulled up the original upload logs
00:55:20time stamps hand sketches source files revision trails
00:55:28send everything to the competition committee
00:55:36the plagiarist is going to face consequences
00:55:39that's exactly what she deserves
00:55:43i leaned back in my chair and flexed my fingers
00:56:03thank you everyone i will use this collection to prove myself
00:56:17we need to make an immediate announcement
00:56:21there is a severe playsterism issue concerning one of the finalist entrants
00:56:25plagiarismy the smile on emelyn's face frozen instantly
00:56:30the true original designer is not emelyn morgan
00:56:35it is
00:56:37star
00:56:40star has provided full proof of original authorship
00:56:48effective immediately emelyn morgan is disqualified from the finals
00:56:53every camera in the room swung towards her at once
00:56:57she wanted fame so badly didn't she
00:57:01well now she had it
00:57:04but only this time as a thief
00:57:12by the time emelyn fled back to the morgan house from the press event she was unraveling
00:57:22she had it
00:57:24mom help me
00:57:27hayley how can you be this cruel
00:57:31emma has suffered enough
00:57:34you want me to withdraw the complaint
00:57:39if you withdraw it we'll do whatever you want
00:57:44i pulled a document from my bag

00:57:52what's this
00:57:57all three of them froze
00:58:00sign it
00:58:00and i withdraw the complaint
00:58:03haven't they always wanted to cut me out of the morgan family
00:58:06finally i would make their wish come true
00:58:09when the severance agreement landed on the table
00:58:11the whole living room fell silent
00:58:16when the severance agreement landed on the table the whole living room fell silent
00:58:20hayley
00:58:21do you really have to go this far
00:58:23not me you pushed us here first
00:58:25you are still the morgan family's daughter
00:58:27so you still remember that
00:58:29too bad you only remember it when you need me
00:58:31carol's hands were shaking badly
00:58:34but in the end she still signed
00:58:40is this enough for you now
00:58:44it's a start
00:58:46i folded the agreement and put it away
00:58:49in that moment i was surprised by how little i felt
00:58:53maybe because i had already seen them clearly
00:58:56they never deserved the word family
00:59:02they never deserved the word family
00:59:03haley
00:59:04you ruined me
00:59:10no
00:59:11i only took back what was mine
00:59:13i turned and walked away
00:59:16this time no one tried to stop me
00:59:21from this moment on the morgan family had nothing to do with me anymore
00:59:29i thought that after cutting ties
00:59:31the morgan family would finally give it a rest
00:59:34emmeline met with darren's people late that night i received an anonymous message
00:59:40the project drafts on your laptop were tampered waiver
00:59:44this wasn't a warning
00:59:46it was a declaration of war
00:59:49kaden's uncle the one who had always hidden in the family's shadow
00:59:55darren also the man who profited most from the crash four years ago
01:00:00kaden
01:00:02who sent it
01:00:06one of my eyes inside darren's circle
01:00:10darren has finally made his move
01:00:13it's not that he finally moved
01:00:16he's finally panicking
01:00:18if he's cleaning up witnesses
01:00:20then it means what we found already hit a nerve
01:00:26darren wasn't a new enemy
01:00:29he just couldn't stay hidden anymore
01:00:32i've been waiting to drag him all the way out
01:00:43haley morgan you are suspected of commercial espionage and unlawful theft of corporate secrets
01:00:49are you insane
01:00:51who gave you the nerve
01:00:53i didn't move
01:00:55i only looked at the warrant in their hands
01:00:58they took project drafts legaled from morgan group
01:01:02and made them look like they were sent from my laptop
01:01:05a setup
01:01:07and a rushed one
01:01:09we need you to come with us
01:01:13fine
01:01:15just as i stepped forward
01:01:18kaden arrived
01:01:21who dares take her
01:01:23mr evans we are only following procedure
01:01:26then follow procedure
01:01:31i'm bailing her out now
01:01:34the room went silent
01:01:38commercial instragage is only the cover
01:01:41what darren really wants is to pin her down first
01:01:45darren wanted to send me back to prison again
01:01:48too bad this time
01:01:50i wasn't alone
01:01:55i was bailed out i went straight back to the study
01:01:59if darren moved it meant he was desperate
01:02:02and desperate people make mistakes
01:02:07how do you want to do this
01:02:09follow the money
01:02:10i opened my laptop again
01:02:14my light obli was poor
01:02:15i tore through firewall after firewall
01:02:19encrypted email burner numbers cloud backups
01:02:23and check emeline's recent communication backups
01:02:27found it
01:02:28what
01:02:29not an old recording from four years ago
01:02:31it's a cloud auto backup of one of their recent calls
01:02:38they're still talking about that night
01:02:40more than that
01:02:41they were also discussing how to send you back to prison again
01:02:47play it
01:02:49as long as hayley is finished the morgan family is still mine
01:02:53this time
01:02:55it wasn't suspicion anymore
01:02:57she opened the door herself
01:03:01you handled that car crash well four years ago
01:03:04hayley went to prison
01:03:06and caden still hasn't found proof
01:03:09but she's getting harder and harder to control
01:03:12then do what we did before
01:03:15put her into prison again
01:03:16but caden is still investigating his mother's death
01:03:19then this matter can never be exposed
01:03:22dead men tell no tales
01:03:23she had to die
01:03:24and now it still has to remain an accident
01:03:29the recording stopped
01:03:31four years ago i went to prison
01:03:34caden lost his mother
01:03:36it was never an accident
01:03:37it was murder
01:03:39now listen carefully
01:03:41darren was the mastermind
01:03:44dahlia drove the car
01:03:46emelin made sure i took the fall
01:03:48one carried it out
01:03:50one cleaned it up and one profited from it
01:03:53not one of them is innocent
01:04:03ahhh enough
01:04:09why is the evans family making such a spectacle tonight
01:04:12and then we even made darrens and something as bonner
01:04:16i heard it has something to do with darren
01:04:21i'm looking forward to it
01:04:23the recording money trail and communication backups
01:04:26i submitted all of them to the police last night
01:04:28so tonight tonight is not about suspecting anyone
01:04:32downstairs darren was still smiling emelan was there too
01:04:39tonight i'd make sure everyone saw her true colors
01:04:43it's time
01:04:44he raised his hand and the lights dimmed

01:05:05caden what game are you playing now
01:05:09you'll know soon enough
01:05:10the recording began to play
01:05:12she had to die back then
01:05:14after the first segment darren's face changed
01:05:17as long as hayley is finished the morgan family is still mine
01:05:20emelin froze completely
01:05:31it's fake it's fabricated
01:05:34why are you panicking
01:05:36there's more
01:05:38the part you'll like even less
01:05:43the second recording continued the longer it played
01:05:46because now it was no longer speculation
01:05:58when the recording ended the banquet hall was silent like a graveyard
01:06:05in the next second the police rushed in
01:06:07darren evans emilane morgan you are under investigation for conspiracy to commit murder commercial fraud and evidence fabrication come with
01:06:15us
01:06:15no no dad mom help me
01:06:17emma this must be a misunderstanding
01:06:19a misunderstand ago when you sent me to prison you didn't think that was a misunderstanding
01:06:23hayley i was wrong i was really wrong
01:06:26you weren't wrong you were evil darren's face had gone white and drained of every last bit of composure
01:06:32four years ago they pushed me into hell together four years later
01:06:36four years later i sent them in with my own hands
01:06:38he stood to one side of the hall all color drained of his face
01:06:41all his composure was gone his eyes widened in extreme shock and a cold
01:06:46sweat drop slowly trickled down from his temple sliding across his stiff cheek
01:06:49his expression gradually shifted from shock to complete collapse and despair
01:06:53i was pushed towards the dark prison gate by the two of them
01:06:56i was terrified i opened my mouth to scream but no sound came out
01:07:01they betrayed me and i will make them pay dearly
01:07:05four years ago they pushed me into hell together
01:07:16after emilane was taken away harold and carol still tried to rush after her
01:07:21my daughter
01:07:26which daughter haley please can you help emma for the sake of blood blood
01:07:36so now you remember that word i raised my hand and threw a financial report in front of them
01:07:45take a look
01:07:51what's this the assets under your names they are now all frozen under morgan group's authority
01:07:58what
01:08:05didn't you want to save her
01:08:11too bad you can't even save yourselves now
01:08:18emilane was in prison darren had fallen and half the morgan empire had already collapsed
01:08:29on that same day grandpa clinton summoned me into the boardroom
01:08:39the boardroom fell silent
01:08:41the boardroom fell silent
01:08:43impossible i am the heir to the morgan family
01:08:47you
01:08:51other than kneeling and begging hayley to save your projects what have you actually accomplished
01:08:57frankie's face went white immediately
01:09:03the next second his vision went dark and he collapsed
01:09:08frankie
01:09:11i looked at it all and only felt calm not triumph not pity either just one thing it was finally
01:09:16my turn
01:09:17grandpa grandpa i'll take morgan group
01:09:22good
01:09:22in that moment every eye in the boardroom changed they no longer looked at me as a problem
01:09:29they were looking at their new ruler
01:09:34on the day of the wedding the sky was clear and bright
01:09:38much brighter than the day i walked out of prison
01:09:42and for the first time i stood in the center of a crowd not to fight back
01:09:47but to walk toward one man
01:09:49how is the wedding dress
01:09:52perfect
01:09:56melina made this dress for me herself clean sharp just like me
01:10:04at the end of the aisle caden was standing there
01:10:08he looked at me with a softness i'd never seen in him before
01:10:11do you take hayley to be your lawfully wedded wife i do
01:10:15do you take caden to be your lawfully wedded husband
01:10:18i do
01:10:19when the ring slid onto my finger i suddenly remembered what happened years ago
01:10:24they pushed me into hell
01:10:26they thought i would rot there forever
01:10:29but they never understood hell would not destroy me
01:10:33it would only forge me
01:10:34after the wedding i stood before the floor to ceiling window in the top office of morgan group
01:10:39the whole flammely was beneath me they pushed me into hell
01:10:43but they didn't expect that hell forged a queen from this day on the lights of this city shine for
01:10:49me
01:10:49alone
01:10:49you
