Short filmTranscript
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.
00:01:13If you want to survive, you have to be more ruthless than everyone else.
00:01:18And right now, I needed a man powerful enough.
00:01:21Enough 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.
00:02:03The 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.
00:03:12He 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.
00:04:12You 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?
00:04:28He 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.
00:04:40I 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.
00:05:02Get the car.
00:05:04Where to, sir?
00:05:06The 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 Emmeline.
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, Miss 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.
00:06:05Dad.
00:06:07Mom.
00:06:13You really don't look happy to see me.
00:06:19Haley.
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.
00:06:29I raised my hand and slapped her hard.
00:06:35That slap is what you owed me from four years ago.
00:06:43Haley!
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, Emmeline 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.
00:07:15Haley!
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?
00:07:30Haley, 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.
00:07:47Shut 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.
00:07:58Take 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.
00:08:37Haley, I 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!
00:08:45I stayed where I am and rolled my wrist once.
00:08:48They probably still thought I was the same Haley 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 swing.
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?
00:09:21Haley, you 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!
00:10:00Emma, 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 all ready.
00:10:22I wasn't talking about her.
00:10:26He looked at me.
00:10:30The woman I'm going to marry is Haley.
00:10:32The heir itself seemed to please.
00:10:37That's impossible!
00:10:39Mr. Evans, are you mistaken?
00:10:42I advise you choose Emmeline.
00:10:44Don't choose Haley.
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.
00:10:58I 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.
00:11:40But 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.
00:12:19Since 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.
00:12:27Throw 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.
00:12:57Hayley!
00:12:57Have you gone mad?
00:13:02That room was always mine.
00:13:06I looked down and spot the jewelry case she treasured most.
00:13:12In the next second, I crushed it under my heel.
00:13:15No!
00:13:17Beautiful sound.
00:13:18I'd been waiting four years to hear that sound.
00:13:23Emmeline's belongings covered the hallway.
00:13:25She was crying like her world is ending.
00:13:27And Harold had finally lost his temper.
00:13:29Bring me the whip!
00:13:30A wooden box was brought forward.
00:13:31Inside lay a long whip studded with barbs.
00:13:34Hayley, you will be punished today.
00:13:35We'll see whether you still dare be unrily.
00:13:37He raised his arm, about to bring it down.
00:13:39I stepped forward and snatched the whip right out of his hand.
00:13:43You...
00:13:43I swung back and lashed his shoulder hard.
00:13:45Blood seeped through instantly.
00:13:47Everyone was stunned to silence.
00:13:49First lash, for treating a wretch like your daughter.
00:13:54Second lash, for betraying your own flesh and blood.
00:13:58Lunatic!
00:13:59You insane monster!
00:14:01Dad!
00:14:02Dad!
00:14:02I stood in the middle of the wreckage, whip in hand.
00:14:05In that moment, they finally understood.
00:14:06I didn't come back to apologize.
00:14:08I came back to collect.
00:14:09But just then, an old commanding voice came from outside.
00:14:12Don't you dare touch her.
00:14:14The true headmaster of the Morgan family had to rise.
00:14:22After those two lashes, the entire Morgan house descended into chaos.
00:14:28Harold was bleeding, and Carol and Emmeline were in full panic.
00:14:32But in the next second, every voice in the room was crushed by the man at the door.
00:14:38Dad.
00:14:40Clinton!
00:14:41Good timing!
00:14:42Hayley!
00:14:43She...
00:14:43Be quiet.
00:14:44The moment Grandpa's cane struck the floor, even the air turned heavy.
00:14:49Grandpa...
00:14:50She tried to act pitiful again.
00:14:52Too bad Grandpa didn't even look at her this time.
00:14:56I have only one granddaughter.
00:15:02And that...
00:15:04is Hayley.
00:15:07Dad, you can't be this biased!
00:15:10Biased?
00:15:14Where was your talk about bias when you sent your biological daughter to prison?
00:15:23That sentence stabbed Harold right through the chest.
00:15:26From that moment on, I was no longer standing alone.
00:15:38Hayley, come here.
00:15:40After Grandpa showed up, someone in this house finally remembered that I am the real Morgan.
00:15:46I walked to his side.
00:15:47He took out a black card and handed it to me.
00:15:50There's 100 million on this.
00:15:51Spend it however you want.
00:15:55Thank you, Grandpa.
00:15:57Dad!
00:15:58She already took 100 million just now!
00:16:01You can't keep indulging her!
00:16:03Are you questioning my decision?
00:16:06Clinton, Hayley just came back.
00:16:09Giving her that much money is inappropriate.
00:16:11Inappropriate for her?
00:16:13But it was appropriate to give everything in this family to an adopted daughter?
00:16:17Grandpa, I never wanted to fight Hayley for anything!
00:16:22Really?
00:16:23Then all these years, while you took my room, my place in the family, my parents, did you not feel
00:16:28guilty at all?
00:16:32She couldn't say a word.
00:16:34Another 100 million black card.
00:16:36Secured.
00:16:36Now it was time for me to go out and spend a little.
00:16:43That night, I went to Starlight Club.
00:16:45I needed to celebrate.
00:16:46And I needed Flamory to remember me again.
00:16:50Hayley!
00:16:52First drink to celebrate your release to freedom.
00:16:56I heard you went back to the Morgan house and caused absolute chaos?
00:17:01Not bad.
00:17:02Whipped my father Weiss and took the adopted daughter's room.
00:17:06Well done.
00:17:07The second she said that, a filthy hand slid onto her waist.
00:17:10Pretty girl.
00:17:12Drinking alone is boring.
00:17:14Get lost!
00:17:16She shoved him away.
00:17:17But instead of backing off, the man smiled at me too.
00:17:21Oh, there's another one too.
00:17:24I'll take both of you tonight.
00:17:28I set down my glass and stood up slowly.
00:17:30Three seconds.
00:17:31More than enough for me to teach him what regret felt like.
00:17:37That idiot still had no idea who he had just provoked.
00:17:40What?
00:17:41You want to fight?
00:17:43Not want.
00:17:45I already started.
00:17:47I drove my foot straight into his knee.
00:17:51He had just knelt down when I kicked him hard in the stomach.
00:17:55He had just gotten up and hadn't even touched me when I grabbed him by the neck and pissed him
00:17:59against the table.
00:18:03Damn.
00:18:04The music never stopped.
00:18:05But the dance floor had already frozen.
00:18:09Three seconds.
00:18:11A tough guy, beaten and captured on camera.
00:18:14I stood in the wreckage without even breathing harder.
00:18:17Anyone else?
00:18:18Everyone was staring at me.
00:18:20Like they were looking at a monster.
00:18:23Good.
00:18:24I didn't come back to be anyone's obedient daughter.
00:18:28Call the boss!
00:18:29Get the boss here now!
00:18:31The crowd's gaze simultaneously turned away from me.
00:18:34Before long, people started looking down from the upper VIP floor.
00:18:38The people truly qualified to speak tonight were finally about to step in.
00:18:44The nightclub had gone terrifyingly quiet.
00:18:47Everyone was waiting for the mob boss, Thaddeus, to arrive.
00:18:51Who's making trouble in my territory?
00:18:53He walked in with his men, his eyes sharp enough to devour people.
00:18:57Boss!
00:18:58It was her!
00:19:01A woman.
00:19:03All of you couldn't handle one woman?
00:19:07He looked at me and smiled coldly.
00:19:10You're good.
00:19:12Too bad this is my ground.
00:19:15So, he maintained a threatening stare.
00:19:18So tonight, you'll crawl out on your knees.
00:19:22I looked at him and suddenly smiled.
00:19:24Then I looked upstairs.
00:19:26Caden was standing there.
00:19:27He didn't move.
00:19:28But he didn't leave either.
00:19:30Good.
00:19:30Then let him see exactly how crazy his fiancée really is.
00:19:39I grabbed Caden's tie the moment he reached the lower floor.
00:19:43Hayley.
00:19:44The next second, I kissed him.
00:19:49Everyone gasped.
00:19:52People began whispering and pointing.
00:20:00The moment I kissed Caden, the entire room looked like it had been struck by lightning.
00:20:04Because everyone in Flammary knows, Caden Evans hates women getting close to him.
00:20:08Hayley, you are insane in front of everyone.
00:20:10You dare use Mr. Evans against me?
00:20:12He didn't push me away.
00:20:14He didn't explode either.
00:20:15Thaddeus.
00:20:16But his eyes were dangerously dark.
00:20:18You just said, what were you going to do to my fiancée?
00:20:21A misunderstanding.
00:20:22It's all a misunderstanding.
00:20:25Caden pressed a cigar against Thaddeus' forehead.
00:20:32That's your warning.
00:20:33Touch her again and you die.
00:20:36Thaddeus dropped to his knees on the spot.
00:20:38I looked at Caden and suddenly thought,
00:20:40this contract marriage was becoming more valuable by the second.
00:20:45The Morgan family held a recognition banquet for me.
00:20:48Officially, it was meant to restore my place.
00:20:51In reality, plenty of people were waiting to laugh at me.
00:20:53I heard she just got out of prison.
00:20:56Someone like that belongs in a place like this?
00:20:59I walked in on heels and didn't even give them a look.
00:21:02What mattered to me wasn't their gossip.
00:21:04What mattered was who would be the first idiot to volunteer for trouble.
00:21:10Haley, tonight is your big night.
00:21:12I'm truly happy for you.
00:21:15She sounded so sincere.
00:21:18If I didn't know how malicious she really was, I might have believed her.
00:21:24Miss Haley Morgan, we brought you a gift.
00:21:27Several people carried in a large chest.
00:21:31They opened it, and inside was a stack of gold bars.
00:21:35I stood alone not far from the box.
00:21:38Prison life must have been rough.
00:21:39Consider these gold bars a little comfort for you.
00:21:42Gold bars.
00:21:43This wasn't a gift.
00:21:45They were public humiliating me for having been in prison.
00:21:48Good.
00:21:49The first volunteer had arrived.
00:21:55The entire room was watching me.
00:21:57They wanted to see me humiliated.
00:22:00Maybe even watch me lose control.
00:22:02Too bad for them.
00:22:04I never disappoint.
00:22:08Miss Morgan, why so quiet?
00:22:11Don't you like the gift?
00:22:14I walked up to him.
00:22:16Then I slapped him twice.
00:22:18Hard.
00:22:21You.
00:22:22First slap.
00:22:23To teach you to shut your mouth.
00:22:26You dare hit me?
00:22:30Second slap.
00:22:36To teach you your place.
00:22:39I don't just dare hit you.
00:22:41I also dare ask you.
00:22:45Who the hell are you?
00:22:47To judge me.
00:22:48Nearly knocked his face sideways.
00:22:51People in the crowd had already started backing away.
00:22:54Because they were finally realizing.
00:22:59Tonight's Haley wasn't here to entertain them.
00:23:02I.
00:23:03I.
00:23:05I.
00:23:07His legs gave out, and his pants went wet on the spot.
00:23:11The hall fell dead silent.
00:23:15The guests wore varied expressions.
00:23:19And we were only getting started.
00:23:25The farce had barely ended before the next idiot steps up.
00:23:29Miss Haley Morgan, since you've just come out, I brought something especially fitting for you, too.
00:23:35He handed over a velvet box.
00:23:38Inside was a silver bracelet.
00:23:40Slim, cold, and looking exactly like handcuffs.
00:23:50He was reminding everyone that I'd been in prison.
00:23:53Why don't you try it on?
00:23:56I didn't take it.
00:23:58I just looked at him.
00:24:01Doesn't your father own 1% of Morgan Group?
00:24:07Well, why are you asking that?
00:24:10Simple.
00:24:11You humiliated me with handcuffed jewelry.
00:24:15So your family can offer that 1% share as an apology.
00:24:20You're insane!
00:24:22You can refuse.
00:24:24But starting tomorrow, I promise all of Flamazy will know exactly how your family raises its standing.
00:24:33By humiliating women, his face changed dramatically, because he knew I meant every word.
00:24:44Just then, his father stepped forward.
00:24:47Transfer it.
00:24:52The whole room went silent again.
00:24:55This wasn't me demanding an apology.
00:24:59This was me making a stand for myself.
00:25:04Two rounds of humiliation, both sent right back where they came from.
00:25:08Now it was finally my turn to speak.
00:25:12Haley.
00:25:14Come up to the stage.
00:25:17I stepped onto the stage and looked out at everyone below.
00:25:21Just minutes ago, they were mocking me.
00:25:25Now they were silent as frightened little birds.
00:25:28Many of you think, prison destroys a woman.
00:25:33But for me, it didn't.
00:25:36Prison did not destroy me.
00:25:38It forged me.
00:25:40The whole was silent.
00:25:42Four years ago, you looked at me like I was a joke.
00:25:46From today on, Flanmarie will make way for me.
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.
00:26:04Emmeline 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.
00:26:13Because the next step, I 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.
00:26:22I 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.
00:26:33I had just returned.
00:26:34And his first instinct was not to welcome me.
00:26:36It was to shove me back into the mud.
00:26:38Haley, stop this.
00:26:39The company is not a place for you to run wild.
00:26:42Haley, 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?
00:26:55Haley!
00:27:02Didn't you want to ask what right I had?
00:27:04I raised my hand and threw the file onto the table.
00:27:09Then open your eyes and look.
00:27:10I 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.
00:27:24He thought I was bluffing again.
00:27:27The Utopia Project.
00:27:29It is now under my watch.
00:27:32Ridiculous!
00:27:34Utopia is the Evans family's $10 billion project!
00:27:40Who do you think you are?
00:27:44I'm the one who got it.
00:27:46Grandpa opened the file.
00:27:50He changed expression after only two pages.
00:27:57This has Caden's personal signature on it.
00:28:01The banquet hall erupted at once.
00:28:03Signed personally by Mr. Evans?
00:28:05She really secured Utopia?
00:28:09Impossible.
00:28:12This must be fake!
00:28:14Fake?
00:28:16Then call Caden right now.
00:28:19Ask him whether this contract is fake.
00:28:21Frankie stopped talking because he didn't dare.
00:28:24He 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 Haley for Morgan Group.
00:28:47Grandpa!
00:28:48She doesn't even understand company operations!
00:28:52So what?
00:28:53You've worked here for years.
00:28:55What exact contribution have you done for the group?
00:28:58Frankie's face turned pale instantly.
00:29:00That line hit harder than a slap.
00:29:02From today onward,
00:29:04Haley is appointed project manager.
00:29:06Grandpa, but...
00:29:07Quiet!
00:29:08Emelyn bit her lip, her eyes full of resentment.
00:29:11She had spent years playing the Morgan daughter.
00:29:13And now I'd returned and taken her place,
00:29:15and the power that came with it.
00:29:17Project manager?
00:29:21I'll take the position.
00:29:24Getting into Morgan Group was only the beginning.
00:29:26Next, I was going to make them give back everything they were holding.
00:29:33Grandpa had just announced my appointment when two more groups entered from the doors.
00:29:38The first was leading by Emerly.
00:29:41The second was Thaddeus and his people.
00:29:45Haley, congratulations.
00:29:49She lifted her hand, and an assistant handed over a file.
00:29:53This is my gift for you.
00:29:55West District Development Rights.
00:29:58It's yours now.
00:30:02West District Development Rights?
00:30:05Even his voice changed,
00:30:07because he'd been eyeing it for two years,
00:30:10and still couldn't get it.
00:30:14Miss Haley Morgan.
00:30:16What happened at the nightclub was my mistake.
00:30:20This is my apology.
00:30:22He handed over another document.
00:30:23Starlight Club.
00:30:24From today onward, it's yours too.
00:30:27The hall went dead silent.
00:30:29One handed me government's project,
00:30:31Weavingly Riddle Prover.
00:30:32The other offered a club owned by gangs.
00:30:36After tonight,
00:30:37No one in Flanmerry would dare mess with me.
00:30:43Emily and Thaddeus had just finished when the real heavyweight arrived.
00:30:47Mr. Walter Emhams has arrived!
00:30:55The entire room rose to its feet.
00:30:59Even Harold changed his expression instantly.
00:31:04Mr. Evans,
00:31:05your presence is an honor for my family.
00:31:08I didn't come for you.
00:31:10He looked directly at me.
00:31:14Haley.
00:31:15Mr. Evans.
00:31:18I came here to say one thing.
00:31:21Haley is my fiancée.
00:31:25The room exploded.
00:31:29Impossible.
00:31:34Mr. Evans,
00:31:36is there some misunderstanding?
00:31:38Walter slowly clenched his fingers into a fist.
00:31:43Misunderstanding?
00:31:45Anyone who dares bully her
00:31:49is challenging the Evans family.
00:31:52His words were like a blade driven straight into the chest of every Morgan in the room.
00:31:58At last,
00:31:59they understood.
00:32:00Behind me stood more than my grandpa.
00:32:03The entire Evans family was backing me too.
00:32:09With the Evans family backing me,
00:32:11it was finally time to settle the most valuable debt of the night.
00:32:15Emmalyn.
00:32:16I turned toward her.
00:32:20She instinctively stepped back.
00:32:22The 5% stake in Morgan Group in your name.
00:32:25It's time to give it back.
00:32:29What?
00:32:30Haley, don't go too far!
00:32:32I gave those shares to Emma!
00:32:34You gave them to her?
00:32:37You took Morgan property
00:32:39and gifted it to an adopted daughter?
00:32:43And you still dare sound righteous about it?
00:32:46I...
00:32:47I feel dizzy.
00:32:49Her body went limp
00:32:50and she collapsed toward Caroline.
00:32:52There it was again.
00:32:53Her favorite little trick.
00:32:58Fanting again?
00:33:00I know medical skills.
00:33:05Want me to wake you up properly?
00:33:07Her eyelashes visibly trembled.
00:33:09Good.
00:33:10She understood.
00:33:16Emmalyn lay in Carol's arms,
00:33:18pretending she was on the verge of death.
00:33:21Haley,
00:33:22Emma is already like this
00:33:24and you still want to pressure her?
00:33:25Pressure her?
00:33:27I'm helping her.
00:33:29I walked over and grabbed Emmalyn by the wrist.
00:33:33I pressed one pressure point
00:33:35and her whole body went rigid.
00:33:37It hurts!
00:33:38It hurts!
00:33:39It hurts!
00:33:41Oh!
00:33:43So you are awake.
00:33:46The room fell silent.
00:33:48She'd been pretending to faint
00:33:49until I forced her awake.
00:33:51Interesting.
00:33:52Emma, since you're awake,
00:33:55sign it.
00:33:57The share transfer agreement
00:33:59was placed in front of her.
00:34:01Dad.
00:34:03Mom.
00:34:04Sign it.
00:34:06That simple words
00:34:07crushed the last of her pride.
00:34:10Her hand shook as she signed.
00:34:13The 5% stake finally became mine.
00:34:18Tonight, I didn't just take back my identity.
00:34:21I took back money, too.
00:34:26The HR director eyed me
00:34:28with contempt on sight.
00:34:30Fill this form out first.
00:34:33I looked down.
00:34:35None of this belonged
00:34:36on an employment form.
00:34:37It was pure humiliation.
00:34:40What?
00:34:40Too scared to fill it in?
00:34:42Not scared.
00:34:43I just think you're stupid.
00:34:46You...
00:34:47I tossed my phone on the desk.
00:34:49The screen lit up
00:34:50with a hotel video
00:34:51of him and his secretary.
00:34:53How do you have that?
00:34:55So,
00:34:56do you still want me
00:34:57to fill out that form?
00:34:59No need.
00:35:01I took back my phone
00:35:03and walked in on my heels.
00:35:04So this was their idea
00:35:05of a welcome.
00:35:06Not bad.
00:35:07At least it was enough
00:35:08for a warm-up.
00:35:13Emma,
00:35:14from today on,
00:35:15you'll work on projects with me.
00:35:18Okay.
00:35:19She looked at me
00:35:20with triumph dripping
00:35:21from her eyes.
00:35:23This time,
00:35:24the partner is Crescent Capital.
00:35:27Emma,
00:35:28you'll handle it.
00:35:33Half an hour later,
00:35:34the partner representative arrived.
00:35:38Sorry.
00:35:39For this project,
00:35:41we only negotiate
00:35:42with Miss Haley Morgan.
00:35:43What?
00:35:45Didn't you hear him?
00:35:46This project was introduced
00:35:48by Pioneer Group.
00:35:49I only recognize Haley.
00:35:53Emmeline's face
00:35:54stiffened instantly.
00:35:56Frankie's face
00:35:57turned dark
00:35:57as burned metal.
00:36:02The partner only recognized me.
00:36:05Every one of Frankie's calculations
00:36:07shattered on the spot.
00:36:10Haley.
00:36:11He looked at me
00:36:11like he was grinding
00:36:12his teeth into dust.
00:36:13You take over this project.
00:36:16Now you remember me?
00:36:19Don't push it.
00:36:21Push it?
00:36:22Weren't you the ones saying
00:36:23someone like me
00:36:24doesn't belong in Morgan Group?
00:36:27And now the project
00:36:28is stuck in your hands.
00:36:30You sure know how to change
00:36:31your attitude fast.
00:36:32Frankie Morgan.
00:36:34Either you let Haley take over
00:36:37or this partnership is over.
00:36:39Frankie's face changed
00:36:40again and again.
00:36:41You want me to take over?
00:36:43Fine.
00:36:45Beg me.
00:36:46You.
00:36:46Everyone in the room
00:36:47was looking at him.
00:36:48The proud Morgan heir
00:36:49had been forced into a corner
00:36:51by me for the first time.
00:36:52A few seconds later
00:36:53Frankie dropped to his knees
00:36:54with a thud.
00:36:56Please please.
00:36:59I looked down at him
00:37:00and finally smiled.
00:37:01This was only the beginning.
00:37:05I thought Caden taking my side
00:37:06and shielding me in public
00:37:07was already insane enough.
00:37:09Then the very next day
00:37:10he dragged me straight
00:37:11to the marriage register.
00:37:12You're actually serious?
00:37:13Weren't you the one
00:37:14who said you wanted
00:37:14to marry me first?
00:37:15I said contract marriage.
00:37:17Marriage is still marriage.
00:37:18He said it with that
00:37:19cold face of his
00:37:20yet somehow
00:37:21it sounded more domineering
00:37:23than anything else.
00:37:24Please fill in the form.
00:37:25I'm no you to the swick.
00:37:27He looked down at me
00:37:28as I signed my name.
00:37:30His gaze dark and hot.
00:37:32All done?
00:37:33Congratulations.
00:37:34One marriage certificate
00:37:35and we were tied together
00:37:37for real.
00:37:39Caden,
00:37:40say darling.
00:37:42Don't push your luck.
00:37:43But the line of his jaw
00:37:45tightened for a very
00:37:46obvious reason.
00:37:48Interesting.
00:37:49This man's words
00:37:51were ice cold
00:37:52but his reactions
00:37:53were far more honest.
00:37:57On the same day
00:37:58we got married
00:37:58I hadn't even finished
00:37:59processing the fact
00:38:00that I was now married.
00:38:01Then Walter,
00:38:02Caden's grandfather,
00:38:03suddenly showed up.
00:38:04I'm staying here tonight.
00:38:06That suddenly?
00:38:07What, not welcoming
00:38:08an old man like me?
00:38:09I glanced at Caden.
00:38:11He looked calm enough
00:38:12but I quickly found out
00:38:13why he was so calm.
00:38:15Since you're legally married now,
00:38:16don't sleep in separate rooms.
00:38:18I'll personally make sure
00:38:20of that tonight.
00:38:22Great.
00:38:24Straight to sharing a bed.
00:38:29Faster than I'd expected.
00:38:34That night,
00:38:35I came out of the shower
00:38:36wearing nothing but a towel.
00:38:41Caden looked up
00:38:42at exactly the wrong moment.
00:38:44What?
00:38:46Mr. Evans,
00:38:47you've never seen
00:38:48a woman before?
00:38:53Be quiet.
00:38:54Go to sleep.
00:38:59He turned his eyes away
00:39:00too fast.
00:39:02Fast enough to make it obvious
00:39:03he was hiding something.
00:39:14Your heart beats a little fast.
00:39:17You're too noisy.
00:39:19I haven't even moved.
00:39:21Your breathing is noisy too.
00:39:24The next morning,
00:39:26Walter saw the matching rings
00:39:27on our fingers immediately.
00:39:30Good.
00:39:31You finally look like
00:39:33a married couple.
00:39:36The old man left satisfied.
00:39:41The second the door closed,
00:39:43Caden transferred money to me.
00:39:45One hundred million?
00:39:48What's this for?
00:39:49Your performance fee.
00:39:51Performance?
00:39:52I walked toward him slowly.
00:39:56Caden,
00:39:57which one of us do you think
00:39:59was performing harder last night?
00:40:02He looked at me
00:40:03and his gaze
00:40:05deepened instantly.
00:40:06Money is the safest
00:40:08kind of relationship.
00:40:09I was starting to want
00:40:10more than money from him.
00:40:14Late at night,
00:40:16Caden was asleep.
00:40:17But I opened my laptop
00:40:19and kept digging into the crash
00:40:21from four years ago.
00:40:25In prison,
00:40:26I learned more than just
00:40:27how to fight.
00:40:28Data can overturn a case too.
00:40:31I pulled up old surveillance,
00:40:32call logs,
00:40:33and shell numbers,
00:40:34page after page.
00:40:43Finally,
00:40:44one broken line connected.
00:40:46Before she died,
00:40:48Dahlia had been in contact
00:40:49with a shell number.
00:40:59In the corner of an old
00:41:01traffic camera clip,
00:41:02I saw someone standing
00:41:03at the crash scene.
00:41:05That person was Darren,
00:41:07so this was never just Dahlia.
00:41:15The one who truly
00:41:16shagged that crash
00:41:18had been hiding
00:41:19behind the curtain
00:41:20all along.
00:41:21The truth you're after
00:41:23is finally starting
00:41:24to show its face.
00:41:30Darren,
00:41:31you finally
00:41:32showed yourself.
00:41:35The next morning,
00:41:37Caden pinned we
00:41:38against the study door.
00:41:40How did you get that lead?
00:41:43Let go,
00:41:44first.
00:41:46Answer me.
00:41:48Didn't you already know
00:41:49I have a lot of secrets?
00:41:50His voice was low,
00:41:52but the pressure
00:41:52was heavier than usual.
00:41:54Haley.
00:41:58How much more
00:41:59are you hiding?
00:42:00Enough to make sure
00:42:01you can't walk away
00:42:02from me.
00:42:03So the man you suspect
00:42:04is Darren.
00:42:06My uncle.
00:42:08The one who's hidden
00:42:09himself best
00:42:10all these years,
00:42:11and the one
00:42:12most capable of this.
00:42:14Not suspect.
00:42:16He's the most likely.
00:42:20The blurred footage,
00:42:21the shell number,
00:42:23the edge of scene shot.
00:42:26They all point to him.
00:42:28But we're still missing
00:42:29the final cut.
00:42:30The proof that nails him.
00:42:33Then from today on,
00:42:35Darren
00:42:36is target number one.
00:42:44After dealing with the company
00:42:46and the crash investigation,
00:42:47I went to Melina's
00:42:48jewelry boutique.
00:42:51Years ago,
00:42:52she was my best friend.
00:42:56So you finally decided
00:42:57to come see me.
00:42:59I've been busy
00:43:00getting married
00:43:01and ruining people's lives.
00:43:04Sounds like you're doing
00:43:05just fine.
00:43:09I had just smiled
00:43:10when several people
00:43:11walked in.
00:43:15Well, if it isn't
00:43:17prison girl Haley.
00:43:18So you can afford
00:43:20jewelry stores now?
00:43:26Get out.
00:43:28And who do you think
00:43:29you are?
00:43:35Why do people
00:43:36never learn?
00:43:37The second she said it,
00:43:39the bodyguards
00:43:39behind her
00:43:40started toward me.
00:43:42Move.
00:43:45I reached up
00:43:46and caught his wrist.
00:43:47The next second,
00:43:48his whole body
00:43:49slammed into the floor.
00:44:02Less than 10 seconds.
00:44:05All down.
00:44:06The store went silent again.
00:44:12Good.
00:44:13I liked this kind of silence.
00:44:21The bodyguards
00:44:22were all on the floor.
00:44:25Karen and Paula
00:44:26finally started to fear.
00:44:28How dare you?
00:44:31Melina stepped out
00:44:32from behind the counter
00:44:33in high shoes.
00:44:34She wore black today,
00:44:36sharp as a blade.
00:44:38Have you still not figured out
00:44:39whose place this is?
00:44:42It's just a jewelry stop.
00:44:45Just a jewelry stop?
00:44:47She smiled.
00:44:50Then she reached up
00:44:51and turned on
00:44:52the full lighting.
00:44:54The entire store
00:44:56lit up like a palace.
00:45:00Elysian Gems.
00:45:02I built it for Hayley.
00:45:04Every piece of jewelry here
00:45:06belongs to her.
00:45:09What?
00:45:10What?
00:45:12Karen's legs
00:45:13nearly gave out
00:45:14beneath her.
00:45:17They had come
00:45:18to humiliate me.
00:45:21Instead,
00:45:22they found out
00:45:23they couldn't afford
00:45:24even one diamond
00:45:25in this store.
00:45:27I'm sorry.
00:45:30Say it on your knees.
00:45:32And they actually did.
00:45:36I looked down at them
00:45:38and barely felt a thing.
00:45:40Opponents at this level
00:45:41were no longer worth my anger.
00:45:49As Karen and Paula
00:45:50knelt on the floor,
00:45:51the boutique doors
00:45:52opened again.
00:45:55I turned around
00:45:56and saw Kayden.
00:45:58Perfect timing.
00:46:00At last,
00:46:02the starlight rings
00:46:03have found someone worthy.
00:46:07The diamonds were cold
00:46:09like starlight.
00:46:10Hayley,
00:46:11this one is yours.
00:46:12The other one
00:46:13can go on your husband's hand.
00:46:16Will you wear it?
00:46:18Why not?
00:46:28He took the ring
00:46:29and slid it onto
00:46:30my finger himself.
00:46:32Then I put the other one
00:46:33on him.
00:46:36The moment our hands
00:46:38locked together,
00:46:39everyone in the store
00:46:40went quiet.
00:46:41From this moment on,
00:46:44anyone who messes with her
00:46:45messes with me.
00:46:47I liked the way
00:46:48he protected me in public
00:46:50and I liked how
00:46:51he was slowly becoming mine.
00:46:57Some people were
00:46:58protecting me loudly,
00:46:59which only made others
00:47:01more desperate
00:47:01to destroy me.
00:47:04And Emma Lan
00:47:05was the most desperate
00:47:06of them all.
00:47:08That day,
00:47:09I returned to the company
00:47:11and found the designs
00:47:12on my desk
00:47:12gone.
00:47:16Who entered my office?
00:47:18Oh,
00:47:19only
00:47:19Miss Morgan
00:47:20came by.
00:47:22Good.
00:47:23I turned around
00:47:24and went straight
00:47:24to find her.
00:47:27Hayley,
00:47:28what brings you here?
00:47:30Where are my design
00:47:31drafts?
00:47:34What design drafts?
00:47:36She acted very convincing,
00:47:37but I know her too well.
00:47:40The more innocent
00:47:41she looked,
00:47:41the more guilty
00:47:42she was.
00:47:43It didn't take long
00:47:44to find out
00:47:45where she'd sent them.
00:47:50Tyler,
00:47:52the Morgan family's
00:47:54arrogant third son.
00:47:55Emma,
00:47:56you're incredible.
00:47:57These designs
00:47:57are definitely award-worthy.
00:47:59On the screen,
00:48:00Emmeline smiled sweetly.
00:48:02On my side,
00:48:03my smile was colder.
00:48:07She stole from me again.
00:48:09Good.
00:48:12I loved watching thieves
00:48:14get caught.
00:48:16I had originally planned
00:48:18to deal with
00:48:18Emmeline first,
00:48:20but one phone call
00:48:21shattered every plan.
00:48:23Talk.
00:48:24My face darkened
00:48:26instantly.
00:48:28Where is she?
00:48:29The hospital.
00:48:30Her brother
00:48:31has her tied down.
00:48:32He's going to
00:48:32forcefully take her
00:48:33kidney for their
00:48:34grandfather.
00:48:40What happened?
00:48:41Melina's been taken.
00:48:42Someone thinks
00:48:43they can turn her
00:48:44into an organ bank
00:48:45while I'm still breathing.
00:48:46My voice stayed flat,
00:48:47but Caden looked at me,
00:48:49and his expression changed,
00:48:50because he knew,
00:48:51the calmer I sound,
00:48:53the more I want blood.
00:48:54Get the car ready,
00:48:57and tell Thadmius
00:48:58to bring some men.
00:48:59I changed my clothes
00:49:01and turned to leave.
00:49:02Tonight,
00:49:03someone was going to regret
00:49:04hurting my bestie.
00:49:11The hospital corridor
00:49:12was long,
00:49:13and the light
00:49:13was blindingly white.
00:49:14I walked straight in
00:49:15with Thaddeus' men
00:49:16behind me.
00:49:17Miss Morgan,
00:49:18my men are here.
00:49:19No one dared stop us,
00:49:20because the look
00:49:21on my face
00:49:22explained everything.
00:49:23Guard every exit.
00:49:24No one leaves tonight.
00:49:37Caden walked beside me
00:49:38without saying a word.
00:49:40But the quieter he was,
00:49:41the more I knew
00:49:42he was holding back
00:49:43his anger.
00:49:44The room is at the end
00:49:45of the hall.
00:49:46Four bodyguards
00:49:47stood outside the room.
00:49:48I looked at them once,
00:49:49and they instinctively
00:49:50stepped back half a step.
00:49:52I walked forward
00:49:53with firm steps,
00:49:54and the frame
00:49:55advanced steadily
00:49:56toward the four
00:49:56bodyguards at the door,
00:49:58keeping pace with me.
00:50:04You can't.
00:50:11On the hospital bed,
00:50:13Melina was tied down.
00:50:14Her wrists were rubbed
00:50:15raw and bloody
00:50:16as paper and constant.
00:50:18In that instant,
00:50:19I truly wanted blood.
00:50:23The room smelled
00:50:24of antiseptic.
00:50:26So,
00:50:27you finally made it.
00:50:29And another smell
00:50:30that disgusted me.
00:50:32The smell of family.
00:50:33She's our family.
00:50:35He stood by the bed
00:50:36like he was looking
00:50:37at merchandise.
00:50:39What's wrong with her
00:50:40giving up a kidney?
00:50:41I stood there so furious,
00:50:43I actually smiled.
00:50:46You dare say
00:50:47the word family?
00:50:48You're an outsider.
00:50:50Stay out of our
00:50:50family business.
00:50:52Outsider.
00:50:54She was tied to a bed
00:50:55until the ropes
00:50:56rubbed her wrists raw.
00:50:58And you want to tell me
00:51:01this is family?
00:51:08Hayley.
00:51:10Hayley.
00:51:15I'm saving our grandpa.
00:51:17She grew up
00:51:18eating our food
00:51:19and using our money.
00:51:21Now it's her turn
00:51:22to repay
00:51:23the family.
00:51:28family.
00:51:30He was still talking
00:51:32about family.
00:51:33Disgusting.
00:51:34Family doesn't carve out
00:51:36her kidney
00:51:36to preserve
00:51:37your dignity.
00:51:38Who the hell are you...
00:51:43You dare hit me?
00:51:45Hit you?
00:51:46Tonight I'm doing
00:51:47more than that.
00:51:49I'm going to break you
00:51:50physically.
00:51:51But Thaddeus' men
00:51:52were faster.
00:51:57Nobody move.
00:51:59Shut the door.
00:52:03You're all insane!
00:52:05This is a hospital!
00:52:06Yes.
00:52:08That's why I've been
00:52:09very restrained.
00:52:11I turned to look
00:52:12at Melina on the bed.
00:52:17Get up.
00:52:19Hit him back yourself.
00:52:26Melina's hands
00:52:26were shaking
00:52:27when the ropes
00:52:28were cut.
00:52:29But when she looked
00:52:30at her brother,
00:52:31her eyes
00:52:32slowly turned cold.
00:52:34Melina,
00:52:35don't be stupid.
00:52:37Melina,
00:52:38don't be stupid!
00:52:40I'm your brother!
00:52:42You don't deserve
00:52:43that title.
00:52:45This one
00:52:45is for treating me
00:52:46like an organ bank.
00:52:47This one
00:52:48is for weaponizing
00:52:49the word family
00:52:50against me.
00:52:51And this one
00:52:53is for every
00:52:54disgusting thing
00:52:55you thought you
00:52:55had the right to do.
00:52:57He was on his knees,
00:52:58his face already swollen.
00:53:00But I knew
00:53:00it still wasn't enough.
00:53:03Men like him
00:53:04don't learn
00:53:04from a little pain.
00:53:06They need to be broken.
00:53:10Melina was done.
00:53:11Now it was my turn.
00:53:12Too far,
00:53:13one of his wrists
00:53:15broken.
00:53:16Everyone in the room
00:53:17was shocked
00:53:18by the scene.
00:53:20He screamed
00:53:21like he was dying.
00:53:23I switched
00:53:23to the other side.
00:53:25Hayley,
00:53:26please,
00:53:27please.
00:53:29Too late.
00:53:31This is the price
00:53:32for tying her down.
00:53:33If there is ever
00:53:34a next time,
00:53:36it won't be
00:53:37your wrists,
00:53:37I break.
00:53:39Everyone in the room
00:53:40inhaled sharply.
00:53:41The other second one
00:53:42broke too.
00:53:42This is the price
00:53:43for tying her down.
00:53:45Tonight,
00:53:45I had already
00:53:46been merciful.
00:53:48We had barely
00:53:49finished at the hospital
00:53:51when someone else
00:53:52stirred up trouble.
00:53:53The International
00:53:54Jewelry Design Competition
00:53:56released its finalist list.
00:53:58And the name
00:53:58on the list
00:53:59wasn't mine.
00:54:01Dad!
00:54:02Mom!
00:54:03I made the finals!
00:54:05My daughter
00:54:06is incredible!
00:54:10I knew you would
00:54:11never disappoint us.
00:54:19I stared at the
00:54:20finalist list list
00:54:21and slowly smiled.
00:54:24I knew those sketches
00:54:25better than anyone
00:54:26because they were mine.
00:54:29She had become
00:54:30addicted to
00:54:31stealing from me.
00:54:32This time,
00:54:33she stole her way
00:54:35onto an international
00:54:36stage.
00:54:37Want me to expose her?
00:54:38Of course.
00:54:40And this time,
00:54:41I want the whole
00:54:42world to watch.
00:54:46I opened my laptop.
00:54:48It was time
00:54:49for an old account
00:54:50of mine to return.
00:54:55I'm sorry.
00:55:01I could even type
00:55:02that account
00:55:03and password
00:55:03blindfolded.
00:55:07So you're finally
00:55:08willing to reveal
00:55:08that identity?
00:55:10She's gone too far.
00:55:13I need to remind her
00:55:14who she's messing with.
00:55:16I logged into
00:55:17the backhound
00:55:18and pulled up
00:55:18the original upload logs.
00:55:20Time stamps,
00:55:21hand sketches,
00:55:23source files,
00:55:23revision trails.
00:55:29Send everything
00:55:30to the competition
00:55:31committee.
00:55:35The plagiarist
00:55:37is going to face
00:55:37consequences.
00:55:39That's exactly
00:55:40what she deserves.
00:55:43I leaned back
00:55:44in my chair
00:55:45and flexed my fingers.
00:55:46I leaned back
00:56:02Thank you,
00:56:03everyone.
00:56:04I will use
00:56:05this collection
00:56:07to prove myself.
00:56:17We need to make
00:56:18an immediate announcement.
00:56:20There is a severe
00:56:22playsterism issue
00:56:23concerning one
00:56:24of the finalist
00:56:25entrants.
00:56:26The smile
00:56:27on Emmeline's
00:56:28face frozen
00:56:29instantly.
00:56:30The true
00:56:30original designer
00:56:31is not
00:56:32Emmeline Morgan.
00:56:34It is
00:56:36Star.
00:56:38No.
00:56:40Impossible.
00:56:41Star has provided
00:56:42full proof
00:56:43of original
00:56:44authorship.
00:56:48Effective immediately,
00:56:50Emmeline Morgan
00:56:51is disqualified
00:56:52from the finals.
00:56:53Every camera
00:56:54in the room
00:56:54swung towards
00:56:55her at once.
00:56:57She wanted fame
00:56:58so badly,
00:56:59didn't she?
00:57:01Well,
00:57:02now she had it.
00:57:04But only this time
00:57:05as a thief.
00:57:13By the time
00:57:14Emmeline fled
00:57:15back to the Morgan
00:57:15house from the press
00:57:16event,
00:57:17she was unraveling.
00:57:22Dad!
00:57:23Mom!
00:57:25Help me!
00:57:27Help me!
00:57:28Hayley,
00:57:28how can you be
00:57:29this cruel?
00:57:31Emma has suffered
00:57:32enough.
00:57:34You want me to
00:57:35withdraw the complaint?
00:57:39If you withdraw it,
00:57:40we'll do whatever
00:57:41you want.
00:57:44I pulled a document
00:57:45from my bag.
00:57:51Then sign this.
00:57:53What's this?
00:57:57All three of them
00:57:58froze.
00:58:00Sign it,
00:58:00and I withdraw
00:58:01the complaint.
00:58:03Haven't they always
00:58:04wanted to cut me
00:58:05out of the Morgan family?
00:58:06I would make
00:58:07their wish come true.
00:58:09When the severance
00:58:10agreement landed
00:58:11on the table,
00:58:12the whole living room
00:58:13fell silent.
00:58:16When the severance
00:58:17agreement landed
00:58:17on the table,
00:58:18the whole living room
00:58:19fell silent.
00:58:20Hayley,
00:58:21do you really
00:58:22have to go this far?
00:58:23Not me.
00:58:24You pushed us here first.
00:58:25You are still
00:58:26the Morgan family's
00:58:26daughter!
00:58:27So you still
00:58:28remember that?
00:58:29Too bad you only
00:58:30remember it when
00:58:30you need me.
00:58:31Carol's hands
00:58:32were shaking badly.
00:58:34But in the end,
00:58:35she still signed.
00:58:40Is this
00:58:41enough for you now?
00:58:44It's a start.
00:58:45I folded the agreement
00:58:47and put it away.
00:58:48In that moment,
00:58:50I was surprised
00:58:51by how little I felt.
00:58:53Maybe because I had
00:58:54already seen them
00:58:55clearly.
00:58:56They never deserved
00:58:58the word family.
00:59:03Hayley!
00:59:04You ruined me!
00:59:10No.
00:59:11I only took back
00:59:13what was mine.
00:59:13I turned and walked
00:59:15away.
00:59:16This time,
00:59:18no one tried
00:59:18to stop me.
00:59:21From this moment on,
00:59:22the Morgan family
00:59:23had nothing to do
00:59:24with me anymore.
00:59:29I thought that after
00:59:30cutting ties,
00:59:31the Morgan family
00:59:32would finally
00:59:33give it a rest.
00:59:34Emmeline met with
00:59:35Darren's people.
00:59:36Late that night,
00:59:37I received an
00:59:37anonymous message.
00:59:40The project drafts
00:59:42on your laptop
00:59:43were tampered
00:59:43waiver.
00:59:44This wasn't a warning.
00:59:46It was a declaration
00:59:47of war.
00:59:49Caden's uncle,
00:59:51the one who had
00:59:51always hidden
00:59:52in the family's shadow.
00:59:54Darren.
00:59:55Also the man
00:59:56who profited most
00:59:57from the crash
00:59:58four years ago.
01:00:00Caden.
01:00:02Who sent it?
01:00:06One of my eyes
01:00:07inside Darren's circle.
01:00:10Darren has finally
01:00:11made his move.
01:00:13It's not that
01:00:14he finally moved.
01:00:15He's finally panicking.
01:00:18If he's cleaning
01:00:19up witnesses?
01:00:20Then it means
01:00:21what we found
01:00:22already hit a nerve.
01:00:26Darren wasn't
01:00:27a new enemy.
01:00:29He just couldn't
01:00:30stay hidden anymore.
01:00:32I've been waiting
01:00:33to drag him
01:00:34all the way out.
01:00:43Haley Morgan,
01:00:44you are suspected
01:00:45of commercial espionage
01:00:46and unlawful theft
01:00:47of corporate secrets.
01:00:49Are you insane?
01:00:51Who gave you
01:00:52the nerve?
01:00:53I didn't move.
01:00:55I only looked
01:00:56at the warrant
01:00:56in their hands.
01:00:58They took
01:00:59project drafts
01:01:00legaled from
01:01:00Morgan Group
01:01:01and made them
01:01:02look like they were
01:01:03sent from my laptop.
01:01:05A setup.
01:01:07And a rushed one.
01:01:09We need you
01:01:10to come with us.
01:01:12Fine.
01:01:15Just as I
01:01:16stepped forward,
01:01:18Caden arrived.
01:01:21Who dares
01:01:22take her?
01:01:23Mr. Evans,
01:01:24we are only
01:01:25following procedure.
01:01:26Then follow procedure.
01:01:31I'm bailing
01:01:32her out now.
01:01:34The room
01:01:35went silent.
01:01:38Commercial
01:01:38instra-jage
01:01:39is only the cover.
01:01:41What Darren
01:01:42really wants
01:01:42is to pin her
01:01:43down first.
01:01:44Darren
01:01:45wanted to send me
01:01:46back to prison again.
01:01:48Too bad this time.
01:01:50I wasn't alone.
01:01:55I was bailed out.
01:01:57I went straight
01:01:57back to the study.
01:01:59If Darren
01:02:00moved,
01:02:00it meant he was
01:02:01desperate.
01:02:02And desperate
01:02:03people make mistakes.
01:02:07How do you want
01:02:08to do this?
01:02:09Follow the money.
01:02:12I opened
01:02:12my laptop again.
01:02:14My Lido
01:02:14Blywis port.
01:02:16I tore through
01:02:16firewall after
01:02:17firewall.
01:02:19Encrypted email,
01:02:20burner numbers,
01:02:21cloud backups,
01:02:22and check
01:02:23Emmeline's
01:02:24recent communication
01:02:25backups.
01:02:27Found it.
01:02:28What?
01:02:29Not an old
01:02:30recording from
01:02:31four years ago.
01:02:32It's a cloud
01:02:32auto backup
01:02:32of one of
01:02:33their recent
01:02:33calls.
01:02:38They're still
01:02:39talking about
01:02:39that night?
01:02:40More than that.
01:02:41They were also
01:02:42discussing how to
01:02:43send you back
01:02:44to prison again.
01:02:47Play it.
01:02:49As long as
01:02:50Hayley is
01:02:51finished,
01:02:51the Morgan
01:02:51family is
01:02:52still mine.
01:02:53This time,
01:02:55it wasn't
01:02:56suspicion anymore.
01:02:57She opened
01:02:58the door
01:02:58herself.
01:03:01You handled
01:03:02that car crash
01:03:03well four years
01:03:04ago.
01:03:04Hayley went
01:03:05to prison,
01:03:06and Caden
01:03:07still hasn't
01:03:08found proof.
01:03:09But she's
01:03:10getting harder
01:03:10and harder
01:03:11to control.
01:03:12Then do
01:03:13what we did
01:03:13before.
01:03:14Put her
01:03:15into prison
01:03:15again.
01:03:16But Caden
01:03:17is still
01:03:18investigating
01:03:18his mother's
01:03:19death.
01:03:20Then this
01:03:20matter can
01:03:21never be
01:03:21exposed.
01:03:22Dead men
01:03:22tell no
01:03:23tales.
01:03:24She had
01:03:24to die
01:03:24back.
01:03:25And now
01:03:25it still
01:03:26has to
01:03:26remain an
01:03:26accident.
01:03:28The recording
01:03:29stopped.
01:03:31Four years
01:03:32ago,
01:03:32I went to
01:03:32prison.
01:03:34Caden
01:03:34lost his
01:03:35mother.
01:03:36It was
01:03:37never an
01:03:37accident.
01:03:38It was
01:03:38murder.
01:03:39Now listen
01:03:40carefully.
01:03:41Darren
01:03:41was the
01:03:42mastermind.
01:03:44Dahlia
01:03:45drove the
01:03:45car.
01:03:46Emelyn
01:03:46made sure
01:03:47I took
01:03:47the fall.
01:03:48One
01:03:49carried
01:03:49it out,
01:03:50one
01:03:50cleaned
01:03:51it up,
01:03:51and one
01:03:51profited
01:03:52from it.
01:03:53Not one
01:03:53of them
01:03:54is
01:03:54innocent.
01:04:03Enough!
01:04:09Why is
01:04:10the Evans
01:04:10family making
01:04:11such a
01:04:11spectacle
01:04:11tonight?
01:04:12I heard
01:04:16it has
01:04:16something
01:04:17something
01:04:17to do
01:04:17with
01:04:17Darren.
01:04:19Nervous?
01:04:20No.
01:04:21I'm
01:04:22looking
01:04:22forward
01:04:22to it.
01:04:23The
01:04:23recording,
01:04:24money trail,
01:04:25and communication
01:04:25backups,
01:04:26I submitted
01:04:27all of them
01:04:27to the police
01:04:28last night.
01:04:29So tonight?
01:04:29Tonight is
01:04:30not about
01:04:30suspecting
01:04:31anyone.
01:04:32Downstairs,
01:04:33Darren was
01:04:34still smiling.
01:04:36Emelan was
01:04:36there too.
01:04:40Tonight,
01:04:40I'd make
01:04:41sure everyone
01:04:42saw her
01:04:42true colors.
01:04:43It's
01:04:44time.
01:04:44He raised
01:04:45his hand,
01:04:46and the
01:04:46lights
01:04:47dimmed.
01:04:51Flamini
01:04:51would remember
01:04:52this night
01:04:53for a very
01:04:53long time.
01:05:00Thank you
01:05:01all for
01:05:01coming tonight.
01:05:02You are
01:05:03here tonight
01:05:04to hear
01:05:04something.
01:05:05Caden,
01:05:06what game
01:05:07are you
01:05:07playing now?
01:05:09You'll
01:05:10know soon
01:05:10enough.
01:05:10The recording
01:05:11began to
01:05:11play.
01:05:12She had
01:05:13to die
01:05:13back then.
01:05:14After the
01:05:14first segment,
01:05:16Darren's
01:05:16face changed.
01:05:17As long
01:05:18as Haley
01:05:18is finished,
01:05:19the Morgan
01:05:19family is
01:05:20still mine.
01:05:21Emelan
01:05:21froze
01:05:22completely.
01:05:26Is
01:05:27this about
01:05:27the car
01:05:28crash from
01:05:28four years
01:05:29ago?
01:05:29So it
01:05:30wasn't an
01:05:30accident?
01:05:31It's
01:05:31fake!
01:05:32It's
01:05:32fabricated!
01:05:34Why are
01:05:34you panicking?
01:05:36There's
01:05:36more.
01:05:38the part
01:05:38you'll
01:05:39like
01:05:39even
01:05:39less.
01:05:43The
01:05:43second
01:05:43recording
01:05:44continued.
01:05:45The
01:05:45longer
01:05:45it
01:05:45played,
01:05:46because
01:05:47now it
01:05:47was no
01:05:47longer
01:05:47speculation.
01:05:58When
01:05:58the
01:05:59recording
01:05:59ended,
01:06:00the
01:06:00banquet
01:06:00hall
01:06:00was
01:06:00silent,
01:06:01like
01:06:01a
01:06:01graveyard.
01:06:05In
01:06:05the
01:06:05next
01:06:06second,
01:06:06the
01:06:06police
01:06:07rushed
01:06:07in.
01:06:07Darren
01:06:08Evans,
01:06:08Emma
01:06:09Lane
01:06:09Morgan,
01:06:09you are
01:06:10under
01:06:10investigation
01:06:10for
01:06:11conspiracy
01:06:11to commit
01:06:12murder,
01:06:12commercial
01:06:13fraud,
01:06:13and evidence
01:06:14fabrication.
01:06:14Come
01:06:15with us.
01:06:15No, no,
01:06:16dad, mom,
01:06:17help me!
01:06:17Emma!
01:06:18This must be
01:06:18a misunderstanding!
01:06:19A
01:06:19misunderstanding ago
01:06:20when you sent
01:06:21me to prison?
01:06:21You didn't think
01:06:22that was a
01:06:22misunderstanding?
01:06:23Haley!
01:06:24I was
01:06:25wrong!
01:06:25I was
01:06:25really
01:06:26wrong!
01:06:26You
01:06:26weren't
01:06:27wrong.
01:06:27You
01:06:28were
01:06:28evil.
01:06:29Darren's
01:06:29face had
01:06:29gone white
01:06:30and drained
01:06:30of every
01:06:31last bit
01:06:31of composure.
01:06:33Four years
01:06:33ago,
01:06:34they pushed
01:06:34me into
01:06:34hell together.
01:06:35Four years
01:06:36later,
01:06:36I sent
01:06:37them in
01:06:37with my
01:06:37own hands.
01:06:38He stood
01:06:39to one
01:06:39side of
01:06:39the hall,
01:06:40all color
01:06:40drained of
01:06:41his face.
01:06:42All his
01:06:42composure
01:06:42was gone.
01:06:43His eyes
01:06:44widened in
01:06:44extreme shock
01:06:45and a cold
01:06:46sweat drop
01:06:46slowly trickled
01:06:47down from
01:06:47his temple
01:06:48sliding across
01:06:48his stiff
01:06:49cheek.
01:06:49His expression
01:06:50gradually shifted
01:06:51from shock
01:06:52to complete
01:06:52collapse and
01:06:53despair.
01:06:53I was
01:06:54pushed
01:06:54towards the
01:06:54dark prison
01:06:55gate by
01:06:55the two
01:06:56of them.
01:06:56I was
01:06:57terrified.
01:06:58I opened
01:06:59my mouth
01:06:59to scream,
01:07:00but no
01:07:00sound came
01:07:01out.
01:07:01They betrayed
01:07:02me and
01:07:03I will
01:07:03make them
01:07:03pay dearly.
01:07:05Four years
01:07:06ago,
01:07:06they pushed
01:07:07me into
01:07:07hell together.
01:07:16After
01:07:16Emmalann was
01:07:17taken away,
01:07:18Harold and
01:07:19Carol still
01:07:19tried to
01:07:20rush after
01:07:20her.
01:07:21My
01:07:22daughter!
01:07:26Which
01:07:26daughter?
01:07:27Hayley,
01:07:28please.
01:07:29Can you
01:07:30help Emma?
01:07:30for the
01:07:32sake of
01:07:32blood?
01:07:34Blood?
01:07:36So now
01:07:37you remember
01:07:38that word.
01:07:39I raised
01:07:40my hand
01:07:40and threw
01:07:40a financial
01:07:41report in
01:07:42front of
01:07:42them.
01:07:45Take a
01:07:45look.
01:07:50What's
01:07:51this?
01:07:52The assets
01:07:52under your
01:07:53names.
01:07:54They are
01:07:54now all
01:07:55frozen under
01:07:56Morgan Group's
01:07:56authority.
01:07:58What?
01:08:06didn't you
01:08:06want to
01:08:07save her?
01:08:10Too bad.
01:08:12You can't
01:08:13even save
01:08:13yourselves
01:08:14now.
01:08:18Emmalann was
01:08:18in prison,
01:08:20Darren had
01:08:20fallen,
01:08:21and half
01:08:21the Morgan
01:08:22Empire had
01:08:22already
01:08:23collapsed.
01:08:29on that
01:08:30same day,
01:08:31Grandpa
01:08:31Clinton
01:08:31summoned
01:08:32me into
01:08:32the
01:08:32boardroom.
01:08:36Starting
01:08:36today,
01:08:37Morgan
01:08:38Comprey is
01:08:38yours.
01:08:39The
01:08:40boardroom
01:08:40fell
01:08:41silent.
01:08:43Impossible!
01:08:44I am the
01:08:45heir to
01:08:46the
01:08:46Morgan
01:08:46family.
01:08:48You?
01:08:50Other than
01:08:51kneeling and
01:08:52begging Hayley
01:08:53to save
01:08:53your projects,
01:08:54what have
01:08:55you actually
01:08:55accomplished?
01:08:57Frankie's
01:08:58face went
01:08:59white immediately.
01:09:03The next
01:09:04second,
01:09:04his vision
01:09:05went dark
01:09:05and he
01:09:05collapsed.
01:09:08Frankie!
01:09:11I looked
01:09:11at it all
01:09:12and only
01:09:12felt calm.
01:09:13Not triumph,
01:09:14not pity
01:09:14either.
01:09:15Just one
01:09:15thing,
01:09:15it was
01:09:16finally my
01:09:16turn.
01:09:17Grandpa,
01:09:18I'll take
01:09:19Morgan
01:09:20Group.
01:09:22Good.
01:09:23In that
01:09:23moment,
01:09:24every eye
01:09:25in the
01:09:25boardroom
01:09:25changed.
01:09:26They no
01:09:27longer
01:09:27looked at
01:09:28me as
01:09:28a problem.
01:09:29They were
01:09:30looking at
01:09:30their new
01:09:30ruler.
01:09:34On the
01:09:35day of
01:09:35the wedding,
01:09:36the sky
01:09:36was clear
01:09:37and bright.
01:09:38Much brighter
01:09:39than the
01:09:40day I
01:09:40walked out
01:09:40of prison.
01:09:41And for
01:09:42the first
01:09:42time,
01:09:43I stood
01:09:43in the
01:09:44center of
01:09:44a crowd
01:09:45not to
01:09:45fight back.
01:09:47but to
01:09:48walk
01:09:48toward
01:09:48one
01:09:48man.
01:09:49How
01:09:50is the
01:09:50wedding
01:09:50dress?
01:09:52Perfect.
01:09:55Melina
01:09:56made this
01:09:56dress for
01:09:57me
01:09:57herself.
01:09:59Clean,
01:10:00sharp,
01:10:01just like
01:10:01me.
01:10:04At the
01:10:05end of
01:10:05the aisle,
01:10:06Caden
01:10:06was standing
01:10:07there.
01:10:07He looked
01:10:08at me
01:10:08with a
01:10:09softness
01:10:09I'd never
01:10:10seen in
01:10:10him before.
01:10:11Do you
01:10:12take
01:10:12Haley
01:10:12to be
01:10:13your
01:10:13lawfully
01:10:13wedded
01:10:14wife?
01:10:14I do.
01:10:15Do you
01:10:15take
01:10:16Caden
01:10:16to be
01:10:16your
01:10:17lawfully
01:10:17wedded
01:10:17husband?
01:10:18I do.
01:10:19When the
01:10:20ring slid
01:10:20onto my
01:10:21finger,
01:10:21I suddenly
01:10:22remembered
01:10:22what happened
01:10:23years ago.
01:10:24They
01:10:24pushed me
01:10:25into
01:10:25hell.
01:10:26They
01:10:27thought I
01:10:27would
01:10:27rot
01:10:28there
01:10:28forever.
01:10:29But
01:10:29they
01:10:29never
01:10:30understood.
01:10:30Hell
01:10:31would not
01:10:31destroy
01:10:32me.
01:10:33It
01:10:33would
01:10:33only
01:10:34forge
01:10:34me.
01:10:35After
01:10:35the
01:10:35wedding,
01:10:35I stood
01:10:36before the
01:10:36floor-to-ceiling
01:10:37window in
01:10:37the top
01:10:37office of
01:10:38Morgan
01:10:38Group.
01:10:39The
01:10:39whole
01:10:39flanmally
01:10:40was beneath
01:10:40me.
01:10:41They
01:10:41pushed
01:10:41me
01:10:42into
01:10:42hell.
01:10:42But
01:10:43they
01:10:43didn't
01:10:43expect
01:10:44that
01:10:44hell
01:10:44forged
01:10:45a
01:10:45queen.
01:10:45From
01:10:46this
01:10:46day
01:10:46on,
01:10:47the
01:10:47lights
