Short filmTranscript
00:00I have a secret that I can't tell anyone. The day my mother died, she gripped my hand and whispered,
00:10Emily, don't hate your father. But I couldn't do it.
00:16Dad's affair had driven mom to her death. I hated him with every fiber of my being.
00:24Until Victor Young slowly began to heal my broken heart, then came the news of my pregnancy.
00:31At his urging, I forgave my father. From that moment on, I became Beverly Hills' most pampered expectant mother.
00:40Every prenatal appointment, the hospital corridors buzzed with their presence.
00:45Only on the day of my anatomy scan did they both conspicuously skip.
00:51Emergency project at the company. I'll have the housekeeper go in with you. Once I wrap this up, I'll bring
01:01gifts for you and the baby.
01:03Disappointed, I lay on the examination table when my phone suddenly buzzed that an anonymous message appeared.
01:10Everything, you treasure is a lie. The camera freezes on her suddenly rigid face.
01:16What secret does this photo hide? In the hospital room, I tremblingly opened the floor video from the message.
01:23In the footage, Dad wore a groom's tuxedo, standing beside Morgana Ashford, the woman who had driven my mother to
01:32death.
01:32Next to her stood an equally pregnant, illegitimate daughter in a wedding dress, arming arm with Victor.
01:41Congratulations, Mr. Hunter, on finding true love, and congratulations to Mr. Young on winning such a perfect bride.
01:51Your previous marriage agreement with Emily was fake. Her child will be born out of wedlock.
02:00Emily already has everything, while Isabella has with the stigma of illegitimacy since childhood.
02:07I won't let her child repeat that fate.
02:13I nearly collapsed. Then my phone buzzed again. A new message with a photo of a sterilization certificate and a
02:21line of text.
02:23Just nod, and the child in your womb becomes the sole heir to the Thorne family.
02:28I stared at the message in confusion.
02:34After leaving the hospital, I wandered aimlessly through the rain-soaked streets of Los Angeles.
02:40A giant street screen played a family interview from three months ago, the day I'd learned about my pregnancy.
02:48Dad held up a purchased diamond.
02:51This true love ring is a gift for my future granddaughter.
02:55The price doesn't matter. What matters is this legacy.
03:01Emily is my one true love.
03:05I'll spend my life protecting her and our child.
03:10The image froze on our smiling faces, with scrolling texts below.
03:15Los Angeles happiest family.
03:19Watching this sweet facade on screen, I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears on my face.
03:25My phone suddenly rang.
03:28Victor calling.
03:35Once, I would have answered immediately.
03:38This time, I hesitated, until the ringing nearly stopped, before pressing accept.
03:44Brove's such a good actor.
03:46Two years of playing the loving boyfriend with Emily, all for the Hunter family money and Isabella.
03:52You're just jealous that you can't act that well.
03:55Emily's such a fool.
03:57Pregnant, without even a real engagement contract.
04:00Soon she won't even have Hunter Corporation, and she'll be kicked out by Isabella with her bastard child.
04:06Victor's icy reprimand cut through.
04:10Shut up.
04:11Who said you could touch my phone?
04:14The next second, Victor's tone softened dramatically.
04:19Baby, why aren't you talking?
04:24Are you feeling unwell?
04:26That gentle voice almost made me believe everything I just heard was a nightmare.
04:32Honey, the baby's kicking me.
04:36Baby, I have urgent business here.
04:39I'll come back to be with you later.
04:44My entire body froze.
04:46My fingertips ice cold.
04:53In the villa's living room.
04:55I sat on the couch, pale as paper.
04:58I don't know how long I sat in the villa's living room, before hearing the door open.
05:03Dead and Victor returned with gifts, all smiles.
05:08Swiss sublence for you.
05:11Build up your strength.
05:13Don't shortchange the baby.
05:17Sorry, I couldn't make the appointment.
05:21Tomorrow, I'll have the hospital director personally attend to you.
05:26Victor, is there something you're hiding from me?
05:30For the sake of when I jumped from the second Daizal's window, and you broke three ribs protecting me, I'm
05:36giving you one last chance.
05:38Silly girl.
05:40You and our child are the most important things in my life.
05:45How could I hide anything from you?
05:48He leaned in to kiss me, but I instinctively turned away.
05:51Both their phones rang urgently.
05:54Dad and Victor looked panicked.
05:56Company emergency.
05:58We'll handle it in the West Wing study.
06:01They rushed toward the study.
06:05Dad and Victor rushed toward the study in panic.
06:09Two brand new grooms' boutonnières slipped from their pockets, falling to the floor.
06:14Their discarded new grooms' boutonnières reminded me tonight was their wedding night.
06:20I suddenly spoke.
06:22Wait.
06:23They turned back, puzzled.
06:25I slowly pulled out a document from my bag and placed it on the coffee table.
06:31Victor signed without hesitation, smiling as he handed it back.
06:35As long as you're happy, I'll sign anything.
06:39I'm yours forever.
06:40I looked at the document labeled biological father voluntarily relinquishes child custody rights.
06:48Tears and laughter mixing.
06:50With this document, my child would have no connection to Victor.
06:55At the study door, Victor secretly glanced toward the living room, calculating coldness flashing in his eyes.
07:06I wiped my tears and called Margos, my lawyer, my voice ice cold and emotionless.
07:13Marcus, immediately terminate the trust agreement.
07:16Stop all resource allocation to Hunter Corporation and activate the asset isolation procedure my mother left behind.
07:25Miss Hunter, within 10 days, 70 yard of Hunter Corporation shares will be officially transferred to you.
07:33Your mother had arrangements in place.
07:36I leaned back on the couch, memories flooding back.
07:40After mother's death, I locked myself in my room and refused to eat in protest.
07:45Victor fed me porridge, spoonful by spoonful, infinitely gentle.
07:51Emily, don't be afraid.
07:54Mom's watching us from heaven.
07:57I'll always be with you.
08:00Those words pulled me back from the brink and made me give him my whole heart.
08:05Only now do I understand how much calculation lay behind that tenderness.
08:10My phone suddenly buzzed with a notification.
08:13Victor and Isabella's intimate photos were trending.
08:16Captioned, true love for life, together forever.
08:20I stared angrily at the phone screen.
08:25On the phone screen, intimate photos kept appearing, one after another.
08:30Young Victor, kissing Isabella, on a yacht, holding her hand, through snowy landscapes.
08:36Each photo was captioned, beloved Isabella.
08:39The honeymoon routes Victor and I had taken were identical to the places he'd once visited with Isabella.
08:48Sister, your honeymoon sweet sheets still have traces of Victor and me.
08:53Victor swears he holds you every night when he sleeps, do you believe that?
08:57One phone call from me and he comes running.
09:00Her words made my stomach churn, and I couldn't help but dry heave.
09:04Just then, the door opened. Victor entered, with a bowl of pumpkin soup, eyes full of concern.
09:12Baby, is the morning sickness getting worse again?
09:18I spent all afternoon learning to make this especially for you.
09:23Looking at his hypocritical smile, I felt only absurd irony.
09:27My eyes held no warmth, only one chilling coldness.
09:36Baby, I spent all afternoon learning this from a gel-in chef.
09:40No matter how bad the morning sickness is, you need a couple spoonfuls for nutrition.
09:48You cancelled the European consortium merger meeting, just to learn to make soup?
09:55For you and the baby, I can postpone any important matter.
10:02You're the most precious person to me.
10:04His eyes were full of expectation, waiting for me to throw myself into his arms.
10:09As before, moved by his thoughtfulness.
10:13But I just stared at his eyes, with undried tears.
10:16Seeing me unmoved, Victor was about to approach and comfort me.
10:21Victor's phone suddenly evaporated.
10:25The screen lit up, with Bella baby, glaringly displayed.
10:29Shattering the silence.
10:31Victor looked at me in panic.
10:35Victor frantically hung up the call, and quickly hid his phone, behind his back.
10:41Stam call, don't mind it.
10:45Quick, drink the soup while it's hot, it won't taste good cold.
10:52Spam call?
10:54Let me see that phone.
10:57Thunder suddenly crashed outside, and I instinctively carried under the covers.
11:03After meeting Victor, I thought I'd found my safe harbor.
11:06But now, tears couldn't help flowing.
11:09Victor immediately pulled me into his arms.
11:13Don't be afraid, I'm here.
11:15His embrace was still warm, but I felt ice cold all over.
11:20Just then, a servant rushed in frantically.
11:23Something's wrong, she's having a tantrum.
11:27Can't you see the missus isn't feeling well?
11:29Running around in such a panic!
11:32What kind of behavior is this?
11:35I'm coming right over!
11:37I watched his incoherent appearance, the coldness in her eyes intensifying.
11:44I didn't explode.
11:46I just watched him leave expressionlessly.
11:49As the door closed, all hypocrisy was shot out.
11:53Victor stood outside the door, hesitating for a moment, before ultimately picking up his phone, and hurrying downstairs to drive
12:01away.
12:01He never looked back once, never even said sorry.
12:05I lay in bed, and after an unknown time, my phone suddenly received real-time photos from Isabella.
12:13Messy sheets, Vitra's bare back, and a fuzzy hair tie stained with unknown liquid.
12:19She showed off a chest tattoo, identical to Victor's.
12:23A final voice message arrived, breathing heavily with satisfaction.
12:27Sister, look. Victor only has me in his heart.
12:33You and your unborn child are just obstacles to us, an unwanted bastard.
12:39I clutched my belly, protectively, trembling, uncontrollably.
12:44My phone screen showed another message, from an unknown number.
12:53I know your mother's death wasn't simple, and I can help you reclaim Hunter Corporation and revenge against everyone who
13:00hurt you.
13:01Only one condition, let your unborn child take the thorn name.
13:06My pupils contracted sharply.
13:08Suddenly remembering the sterilization certificate.
13:11My fingertips ice cold, I tremblingly dialed the unknown number.
13:17You sent me the sterilization certificate.
13:19Who are you?
13:21Why are you helping me?
13:24And why do you want my child to have the thorn name?
13:27Who I am doesn't matter.
13:30What matters is that I can make Victor, your father, and Morgrana pay the price they deserve.
13:39The call ended.
13:40I gripped my phone.
13:42Flashes of my mother's tragic death flickering through my mind.
13:46My expression changed, from grief, to determination.
13:54The next day, the villa hall was decorated with lights, and crowded with guests.
14:00Today was my birthday, and also, the anniversary, of my mother's death.
14:05But the hall was hung with Morgrana's portraits, not a trace of mother.
14:11Emily, don't blame Auntie.
14:13I just think this house should have a new look.
14:16Your mother wouldn't want you living forever in the shadow of the past.
14:23Enough, Morgrana means well.
14:26Stop sulking, you're embarrassing the Hunter family.
14:32Guests whispered among themselves, some murmuring.
14:35Mrs. Hunter was driven to death by Morgrana back then.
14:39Now the mistress has taken over the main house.
14:41It's too much. Emily is so pitiful.
14:44Having to endure this on her birthday.
14:46Just then, Victor walked in, with Isabella on his arm.
14:50Isabella wore my mother's coming-of-age gown.
14:53I was shocked. That's my mother's dress.
14:56How dare she?
15:02Take it off.
15:05That's my mother's relic.
15:07A vicious woman like you doesn't deserve to wear it.
15:12Sister, I didn't mean to.
15:15Victor said this gown looked beautiful on me, so I dared to wear it.
15:20I'm sorry.
15:22Emily, haven't you caused enough trouble?
15:24It's just an old dress.
15:26I'll have ten.
15:28A hundred custom made for you tomorrow.
15:31Stop being unreasonable.
15:34Isabella secretly smirked, deliberately tucking at the gown's neckline, pulling off the pearl buttons.
15:41They fell to the floor, and she deliberately crushed them with her heels, instantly shattering the purrs.
15:47I watched the crushed purrs on the floor.
15:51My mother's only keepsake, and rage, instantly surged.
15:55I lunged forward.
16:01Just as I was about to touch Isabella's sleeve, Victor grabbed my shoulder.
16:06His grip so tight, it nearly crushed my bones.
16:09His eyes, ice cold, and piercing.
16:12Victor was full of disappointment.
16:14Emily.
16:16Calm down.
16:18You're pregnant.
16:20Why are you bullying me?
16:23I'm pregnant too!
16:26The guests gasped, casting scornful looks, and whispering about me being spoiled and tyrannical.
16:33Dad sternly scolding.
16:34Emily apologized to Isabella immediately.
16:38If your mother knew, she wouldn't allow you to be so spoiled, unreasonable, and jealous!
16:44The guests' discussions grew louder, some taking photos and videos, their eyes full of undisguised contempt, condemning me for being
16:53immature and intolerant.
16:55I looked at Victor's cold eyes, feeling the sharp pain in my shoulder.
16:59The last trace of tenderness and hope I had for him, completely extinguished.
17:04A cold smile slowly crept across my lips.
17:12Isabella saw my cold smile, and the flash of malice crossed her eyes, her voice soft, but calculating.
17:18Sister, I know you're angry.
17:21Don't scare me.
17:23I'll take the gown off and return it to you right now.
17:28As she finished speaking, Isabella suddenly pushed hard, shoving me toward the meadow handrail behind me, while she fell to
17:36the ground, clutching her belly and screaming.
17:39Sister, why did you push me?
17:42I know you hate me, but the baby is innocent!
17:46If anything happens to my child, I'll never forgive you!
17:50My lower back slammed hard into the handrail, excruciating pain shooting through my entire body.
17:57Warm liquid seeped between my legs.
18:00My face turned deathly pale instantly.
18:03Victor and Dad immediately rushed to help Isabella, showering her with concern, not sparing me even a glance.
18:13Emily, I've spoiled you too much.
18:15You need to reflect seriously.
18:17You're so malicious, you don't deserve to be a mother, much less stay by my side.
18:23From today on, you're not allowed near Bella.
18:27Stay in the villa and reflect.
18:29Without my permission, you can't leave or contact anyone.
18:35The group surrounded Isabella, and hurried away to the hospital, leaving the banquet hall instantly empty, except for me.
18:42Blood between my legs increased, staining my dress, and dripping to the floor.
18:47I tremblingly called the hospital, only to learn all my credit cards had been frozen.
18:53Looking at the true lovering, rolling on the floor.
18:56I laughed through my tears.
18:58My phone screen, slowly dinged, as I collapsed weakly, onto the cold floor.
19:04So this was what love meant.
19:06Training a canary in a golden cage.
19:09The luxury made me think, I was a princess.
19:12But once I stopped being obedient, he cut off all escape routes, waiting for me to submit.
19:18I don't want this kind of love.
19:21A day later, I curled up, in the attic corner, pale as paper.
19:27The abdominal pain, never stopped.
19:29With no food or water around.
19:31I was too weak, to even lift my hand.
19:35My phone suddenly buzzed with a notification from Isabella's social media.
19:40Intimate photos of her and Victor, vacationing in the modifs.
19:44Captioned, with you and baby, life is perfect.
19:47Too bad some people don't even qualify for envy.
19:52Isabella also sent me a private message, with a photo, Victor tenderly feeding her fruit.
19:58The background, their honeymoon suite.
20:01Identical to my honeymoon photos, with Victor, dripping, with mockery.
20:06I looked at the photo with eyes so cold, they held no emotion.
20:11No tears.
20:12Only growing resolve in their depth.
20:15I slowly crawled up.
20:17Reaching for my mother's necklace, hidden under the bed.
20:21Gripping it tightly.
20:25I gripped my mother's necklace.
20:27The mysterious male voice suddenly flashing through my mind.
20:31Trembling.
20:32I dialed the unknown number.
20:34It was answered, after one ring.
20:39I know you're in danger right now.
20:41Your life at risk.
20:43My people are at the villa's back door.
20:46Follow him I can save you and your child.
20:52Who are you?
20:55Why help me?
20:57And my mother's death?
20:59Was it related to my father, Victor, and Morgrana?
21:03I'll tell you everything once you're safe.
21:07Right now, there's no time to hesitate.
21:11They've realized something's wrong and planned to eliminate you.
21:15The call ended.
21:17I heard light knocking at the villa's back door.
21:21Simultaneously, servants dad had sent, began ramming the attic door.
21:26Their voices, vicious.
21:30I used my last bit of strength, to crawl toward the villa's back door.
21:35The knocking becoming more urgent.
21:37The attic door was already cracking.
21:40The servants would break through soon.
21:43I tremblingly opened the back door, to see a man in a black suit, with an upright posture.
21:48Miss Hunter, Mr. K sent me to get you.
21:52Hurry to the car.
21:54Any later, will be too late.
21:56I was helped into the car, by the bodyguard.
21:59As soon as it started, I saw Victor, and dad, chasing out with servants.
22:04Victor's face, was frighteningly dark, angrily shouting for the driver to stop.
22:09His eyes, full of panic.
22:11The car sped away.
22:13I leaned back in my seat.
22:14Watching the villa, that cage, that had imprisoned, and hurt me, grow distant.
22:20Tears fail, not from sadness, but from ultimate resolve.
22:27Mr. K wanted me to give you this.
22:31Hunter corporations share details.
22:38The board meeting in three days is your only chance.
22:42To reclaim what belongs to you, and begin your revenge.
22:53Miss SS are being transferred.
22:55At the board meeting in three days, your father plans to sell your shares.
22:59Attend, and you can recover them.
23:02Fine. I'll definitely go.
23:06That evening, my phone, bust with news.
23:10Isabella posted photos of her and Victor's marriage certificate, causing an internet explosion.
23:16So, Emily Hunter, was the third party all along?
23:20Three minutes later, the post disappeared.
23:23Victor's calls, kept coming.
23:26I looked at Victor, on the screen, lost in memories.
23:30Thinking of all this false affection, I swiped to hang up, without hesitation.
23:35The action, was clean, and decisive.
23:39With my assets, frozen, and penniless, I could only stumble into a nearby rundown community.
23:45Hospital.
23:49Is she a runaway?
23:50So pathetic.
23:52Before I could catch my breath, several pregnant women there for check-ups, recognized me, and surrounded me.
23:59Their tones, sharp, and vicious.
24:02I hate home-wrecking sluts like you most!
24:05How dare you show up at the hospital for prenatal care?
24:08Get out before you bring bad luck!
24:12They pulled my hair, threw objects at me.
24:15I desperately protected my belly.
24:19Suddenly, a bucket of cold water, poured over my head.
24:23I was soaked through, hair plastered to my face.
24:28Utterly wretched.
24:30The abdominal pain intensified, until I nearly fainted.
24:34Who is so vicious, as to pursue a fallen woman, to destruction?
24:42I endured the crowd's curses and mockery.
24:45Then, the phone rang Isabella.
24:49Emily, are you miserable?
24:51Desperate?
24:52Victor said that without him, you can barely survive.
24:55What a waste!
24:57I spoiled you for two years, just to make you helpless.
25:01Waiting for you to come crawling back, begging.
25:05Then I can control you, however I want.
25:07I trembled with rage and despair, nails digging deep into my palms, drawing blood.
25:14Before I could utter a single word, the call was abruptly cut off, leaving nothing but hollow hung of the
25:20dial tone in my ear.
25:22The angry crowd became even more brazen.
25:25Someone raised a chair nearby, hurling it viciously at me.
25:29I have to teach you a lesson today!
25:37I braced myself, as the chair flew toward me.
25:54Enough!
25:56Who dares touch Mr. K's person?
25:59Who dares call the Thorn family heir a bastard, seeking death?
26:03No!
26:19Arrange a helicopter immediately to the Swiss private hospital, no mistakes.
26:23Protect my lady and child.
26:25Yeah.
26:31The only heir of the Thorn family deserves all the care in the world.
26:47Why are you saving me?
26:49We don't know each other, yet you said my child is the Thorn family heir.
26:54Why?
26:56You sent the sterilization certificate too, didn't you?
27:09I knew your mother.
27:11Years ago, when I was at my lowest point, near death, she saved me.
27:15I promised her I'd protect you with everything I have, never let you suffer harm.
27:22The person who saved you on that stormy night?
27:26Was that my mother?
27:28You're the boy she hid in the attic and cared for three months?
27:44Why are you saving me?
27:46We don't know each other, yet you said my child is the Thorn family heir.
27:51Why?
27:52You sent the sterilization certificate too, didn't you?
28:06I knew your mother.
28:07Years ago, when I was at my lowest point, near death, she saved me.
28:12I promised her I'd protect you with everything I have, never let you suffer harm.
28:19The person who saved you on that stormy night?
28:22Was that my mother?
28:25You're the boy she hid in the attic and cared for three months?
28:40Meanwhile, at a Maldives private villa, Victor was sunbathing with Isabella, patiently soothing her tears while his face showed clear
28:47impatience beneath forced tenderness.
28:49Emily remained in his heart.
28:51Victor, stop worrying about that Emily, okay?
28:54When our baby's born, we'll have the grandest wedding and be together forever, okay?
28:59Says Victor was about to comfort her.
29:01The butler rushed over, face pale, handing him a phone with a trembling voice.
29:04Mr. Victor, terrible news.
29:06The young miss, she's missing.
29:07The household servants say she was taken by a mysterious man.
29:10No trace found, even the surveillance was destroyed.
29:13Victor's face changed dramatically.
29:15He instantly lost patience, pushing Isabella away.
29:17His eyes panicked.
29:19Lashes of Emily's pale face at the birthday party.
29:21Desperate eyes, her bloodied figure filled his mind.
29:24Stay here and behave, or don't blame me for being heartsness.
29:27Isabella watched his hurried departure, malice flashing in her eyes.
29:31She secretly took out her phone, dialing a mysterious number with a sinister smile.
29:36Use every connection. Turn Los Angeles snow, all of America upside down.
29:40Dig to the center of the earth if necessary, but find Emily, whatever the cost, now, immediately.
29:45Isabella rushed in tearfully, desperately grabbing his arm.
29:48She bullied me? She's so vicious, trying to harm our baby. Why find her?
29:52You dance to her, I'll die right in front of you.
29:55Victor violently shook off her hand, eyes ice cold with mocking smile.
29:59The first time he'd looked at Isabella with such cold disgust.
30:02I've bullied you. Now I think you've been deceiving me these past two years.
30:06Those bullying incidents, all the grievances you complained about, they were all your act, weren't you?
30:10Emily is so kind, no could she hurt you and the baby.
30:12Is it because I didn't give you enough?
30:14Devious of eyes. He recalled all the past inconsistencies.
30:17How she always deliberately bad-mouthed I.
30:19How she'd accidentally feel unwell whenever he was close to I.
30:22His suspicions deepened, shaking his conviction for the first time.
30:26Looking at Isabella's instantly pale face and panicked, evasive eyes.
30:30She recalled the facts of Ben Walsh.
30:33Victor packed his bags to leave and search for me.
30:36When Isabella suddenly rushed forward, desperately hugging his legs.
30:42I won't let you go!
30:43If you dare look for her, I'll expose everything!
30:48Our secret marriage registration.
30:51How I deliberately framed her as a mistress.
30:54Forged evidence of her bullying me to the media.
30:59I'll destroy both the hunter and young families completely.
31:03Victor's eyes turned ice cold.
31:05He crouched down, grabbing her chin with almost bone.
31:09Crushing force. Eyes full of rage, regret and disgust.
31:13You dare.
31:14Those rumors slanding Emily.
31:17Making her hated online and misunderstood by everyone.
31:21They really came from you?
31:24Isabella, how vicious!
31:29You deceived me for two years, making me personally arm the person I love most!
31:35Isabella, nearly choking from his grip.
31:38Face pale, stammered, incoherent.
31:41I didn't. I was just afraid of losing you.
31:45I didn't mean to.
31:47Please forgive me.
31:49Victor looked at her panicked, excuse-filled state.
31:52Guilt and regret flooding his heart.
31:55He finally realized how wrong he'd been.
31:58Mistaking fake for real.
32:00Personally pushing someone who truly cared into desperation.
32:03At the Swiss private hospital, I slowly awakened.
32:06The room was warmly and luxuriously decorated with careful attention detail.
32:10K-Thon sat bedside holding warm water, looking at me with gentle worried eyes.
32:15Awake? Don't worry.
32:16The baby's fine and healthy.
32:18You were just too weak from blood loss.
32:20Rest well and you'll recover.
32:22I've had nourishing soup prepared.
32:24Drink some later.
32:26I looked at him with confused but moved eyes, still compelled to ask the question burning in my heart.
32:35Who are you really?
32:37Did my mother truly save you?
32:39Is my mother's death connected to my father and Victor?
32:44Why do you keep helping me?
32:47K-Thon set down the water glass and took my hand.
32:51I'm K-Thon.
32:53Your mother did save me and taught me much.
32:56She's the person I most respect and am grateful to in this life.
33:01I promised her.
33:04I'd protect you no matter what.
33:08He pulled out an agreement from the drawer, placing it before me with grave seriousness.
33:14This agreement I've drafted.
33:17If you sign it, after your child is born, they'll have the status of the Thorn family's sole heir.
33:25I'll give you and your daughter the world's best protection and honor.
33:30Help you uncover your mother's death.
33:33Help you reclaim what belongs to you.
33:36And make everyone who hurt you, both pay the price.
33:41Thinking of his repeated rescues, during my darkest moments, and my unborn child.
33:47I fell into deep, though.
33:52Roar my child?
33:53Shall I believe him?
33:56We developed the K-Thorn different Genshin.
34:00Victor arrived in Switzerland, using all his connections and resources, even marketing some of his assets.
34:08But K-Thorn's influence was too powerful.
34:10All of Switzerland was sealed off by his people.
34:13Victor couldn't even find my hospital, much less see me, lacking even the qualification to approach.
34:18Just as he was desperate and near breakdown, his assistant's panic call came through.
34:24Mr. Young, disaster.
34:25Isabella leaked everything about your marriage registration and her framing of Miss Emily to the media.
34:31The entire internet is calling you a scumbag and her manipulative while apologizing to Miss Emily.
34:37Hunter Corporation stock is plummeting.
34:41Useless!
34:42Control, Isabella, don't let her say another word!
34:44If Emily suffers greater harm because of this, I won't spare any of you!
34:49He knew another insurmountable chasm that opened between him and me.
34:54He personally harmed me and destroyed his chance to make amends.
34:58The hospital, I sat in bed watching the news, seeing online apologies to me.
35:02Condemnation of Isabella, and Victor, and Hunter Corporation's plummeting stock prices.
35:09I'll sign.
35:11I have to go back for the board meeting in three days.
35:14I'll reclaim what belonged to my mother.
35:16Uncover her death.
35:18And make everyone who hurt us, pay the most painful price.
35:23Not one will escape.
35:24K-Thorn saw the resolve and sharpness in my eyes, gently gripping my hand with firm assurance.
35:29Good.
35:31I'll accompany you back.
35:32Whatever happens, I'll be by your side as your strongest support.
35:36No one will dare bully you and your child again.
35:39I'll shield you from every storm.
35:42I took out my mother's necklace, gently cavasting it, eyes full of determination.
35:49All past pain and vulnerability transformed into power for revenge.
35:53Mom, this time, I won't lose again.
35:56Outside the hospital, Victor kept vigil, not eating or drinking, disheveled with messy hair, and bloodshot eyes.
36:03His assistant repeatedly urged him to give up, but he refused to leave, eyes firmly fixed, on the hospital room
36:09direction, as if willing to wait forever.
36:11The hospital, I sat in bed watching the news, seeing online apologies to me.
36:16Condemnation of Isabella, and Victor, and Hunter Corporation's plummeting stock prices.
36:23I'll sign.
36:24I have to go back for the board meeting in three days.
36:27I'll reclaim what belonged to my mother, uncover her death, and make everyone who hurt us, pay the most painful
36:35price.
36:36Not one will escape.
36:38Kaythorn saw the resolve and sharpness in my eyes, gently gripping my hand with firm assurance.
36:43Good.
36:44I'll accompany you back.
36:46Whatever happens, I'll be by your side as your strongest support.
36:50No one will dare bully you and your child again.
36:53I'll shield you from every storm.
36:56I took out my mother's necklace, gently cavasting it, eyes full of determination.
37:02All past pain and vulnerability transformed into power for revenge.
37:07Mom, this time, I won't lose again.
37:09Outside the hospital, Victor kept vigil, not eating or drinking, disheveled with messy hair, and bloodshot eyes.
37:16His assistant repeatedly urged him to give up, but he refused to leave, eyes firmly fixed, on the hospital room
37:22direction, as if willing to wait forever.
37:24Victor finally found my hospital location.
37:27Despite bodyguard resistance, he desperately broke in.
37:31Here, drink some water, it'll make you feel better.
37:33Only to see Kaythorn by my side, tenderly helping my drink water.
37:37Emily, I was wrong. So wrong. I know you suffered greatly. Please, forgive me. I'll do anything to make amends
37:45for you and our child.
37:46I turning away, voice ice cold.
37:49Miss Tia, our relationship ended when you signed the custody waiver, and personally pushed me into desperation.
38:01You didn't wrong me. You wronged your own conscience.
38:08Please leave, don't disturb her recovery, or I can't guarantee what I'll do to you.
38:14Victor looked at Kaythorn's protective stance and my resolute eyes, tears flowing freely, overwhelmed by guilt and regret but unable
38:23to speak.
38:24Isabella escaped Victor's assistance control, secretly buying a ticket to Switzerland.
38:30If I couldn't have Victor, I wouldn't let Emily either.
38:34She planned to personally kill me and my unborn child.
38:38Isabella hid outside the hospital room, staring at me inside, with a sinister, mad smile and murderous eyes.
38:46She secretly produced a prepared syringe, containing a substance that could cause miscarriage and unconsciousness.
38:53Slipping past the guards and quietly opening the room door, moving stealthily toward me with vicious eyes.
39:00Kaythorn was turned away, getting supplements for me, not noticing the danger behind him.
39:07I focused on reading the agreement, completely unaware of approaching peril, just as Isabella reached my bedside, ready to strike.
39:16Kaythorn's bodyguard burst in, catching her.
39:21The syringe fell, and shattered. Unknown liquid splashing with a pangent smell.
39:26Victor, hearing the commotion, rushed in to see Isabella caught by the bodyguard and the broken syringe.
39:33Instantly enraged, he grabbed her collar.
39:35You dare come here to harm her? You poisonous woman. I was blind to be deceived by you all these
39:41years.
39:43I wanted her dead, her, and her bastard!
39:47I was never bullied by you.
39:50Those grievances, those tears were all lies to deceive you.
39:55Five years ago, I deliberately acted pitiful, using your sister's death to quarter your sympathy, making you always protect me
40:03and feel guilty.
40:05Just waiting for the day I could replace Emily as the Hunter family's young mistress and steal everything she had.
40:10And that drunken night, you never forced me.
40:13I deliberately clung to you, intentionally calling Emily's name to make you misunderstand her and drift apart from her to
40:21make you completely side with me.
40:24The child in my belly isn't even yours.
40:28I made a wrong choice to get pregnant just to tie you down.
40:32Victor froze completely, utterly stunned. He staggered back, eyes vacant, repeatedly murmuring.
40:39Not mine. Not mine. Not mine. I was so thoroughly deceived.
40:44Emily, I really didn't know. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been blinded by her.
40:51Give me another chance, please.
40:54Do you think this excuses all your wrong?
40:57The harm you caused me and my mother can't be undone with I was wrong.
41:06Police? Someone here attempted murder. Please come take her away.
41:16Victor! Victor help me!
41:23Emily, I'm gonna get revenge on you!
41:27After Isabella was taken away, only Kay Thorne, Victor and I remained in the hospital room.
41:33The atmosphere, heavy and depressing.
41:36Emily, I know I'm deeply sinful.
41:38I don't ask for forgiveness. I only ask to stay by your side, silently protecting you and our child.
41:45He said he loved me, but all I heard were lies.
41:49It's up to you to decide.
41:52I will support you. No matter what you choose, I will be here with you.
41:57We can no longer go back to the past.
42:00You don't have to keep trying to make it up.
42:03Or keep disturbing me.
42:06You hurt me, that's fact.
42:08But I won't be bound by the past either.
42:11Take care of yourself.
42:14From now on, we owe each other nothing.
42:17Live well.
42:20He sat down slowly on the floor, his eyes a little moist.
42:24I knew she might not forgive me.
42:27I had already missed the chance to make it right.
42:31I and Kay Thorne packed to return to Los Angeles,
42:34preparing for the board meeting in three days to reclaim what belonged to her.
42:37Victor didn't pursue further, only quietly following from the disks,
42:41silently protecting them without daring to approach.
42:44Meanwhile, my father learned of Isabella's arrest and exposed lies,
42:48and that I was returning for the board meeting.
42:50He panicked completely, knowing I returned meant investigating my mother's death,
42:55seeking revenge against me, and reclaiming Hunter Corporation.
42:59Dad immediately contacted previously negotiated buyers,
43:03wanting to sell his shares early, take the money and flee Los Angeles forever.
43:08Marcus, the lawyer's urgent call came through.
43:10Marcus, the lawyer's urgent call came through.
43:14Miss Hunter, disaster.
43:16Your father plans to complete the transaction early with buyers.
43:29If he succeeds, reclaiming the corporation later will be much more difficult.
43:33We must reach the company quickly to stop him.
43:36Don't worry, I won't let him succeed.
43:39Hunter Corporation
43:42should be mine.
43:44What my mother protected with her life.
43:47I won't let him sell it easily, much less let him escape with the money.
43:58Just then, Victor blocked our car, handing over a document with humble yet determined eyes.
44:03What is this document?
44:05Why is Victor blocking them?
44:07Does he want to continue making amends, or does he have other motives?
44:12This is an agreement where I've mortgaged all my assets to acquire the shares your father's father plans to sell.
44:20I know I don't deserve to help you, and I know you won't forgive me, but I want to help.
44:25Just give me one chance to make amends.
44:27Even a little, even if you still won't acknowledge me.
44:31I'll be content.
44:33No need.
44:34I can solve my own problems.
44:36I don't need your amends or help.
44:38We owe each other nothing.
44:40Please move aside, don't delay us.
44:43Please move aside.
44:45The board meeting starts soon.
44:48Don't delay us,
44:50or I won't be polite.
44:52I know I don't deserve it, but I want to help you.
44:55Even just watching you reclaim what belongs to you,
44:58even just helping you avoid a little trouble,
45:00I'd be satisfied.
45:02Emily, just give me one chance, please.
45:04I looked at him,
45:05a flash of complex emotion in my eyes,
45:08quickly returning to coldness,
45:10falling into thought.
45:18Hunter Corporation Boardroom.
45:20The share auction preceded as scheduled.
45:23My father stood on stage triumphantly,
45:25face full of greed,
45:27looking at the buyers below with an arrogant tone.
45:30Everyone, I hold 20 Phaeton of Hunter Corporation shares.
45:33Today, highest bidder wins.
45:34Whoever offers most can control Hunter Corporation's foundation.
45:37Don't miss this opportunity.
45:39Start bidding.
45:40Buyers competed with rising prices.
45:43That smile grew brighter,
45:45already envisioning his escape,
45:46with the money for comfortable retirement.
45:49Just then, the boardroom door opened.
45:51I entered arming arm,
45:53with Kaythorn,
45:54wearing a sharp business suit,
45:56with ice cold eyes,
45:58and commanding presence,
45:59instantly drawing all attention,
46:01and silencing the room.
46:04Father,
46:05you seem to have forgotten.
46:07These shares never belong to you.
46:09You have no right to sell them.
46:13Emily,
46:14how did you get back?
46:16You have no authority here.
46:17These shares are in my hands now.
46:19I can sell them if I want.
46:21It's not your place to interfere.
46:23What evidence,
46:23will Emily present,
46:25to expose her father's,
46:27conspiracy,
46:27and reclaim the shares?
46:29Marcus,
46:30the lawyer,
46:30followed closely,
46:31entering with the document,
46:33walking to the boardroom center,
46:35and announcing sullenly,
46:37Everyone, please listen.
46:38This is the will of Mrs. Hunter,
46:40Emily's mother.
46:41It clearly states that all Hunter Corporation shares
46:44belong entirely to Miss Emily.
46:45Mr. Hunter rights, not disposal rights,
46:48much less authority to sell the shares.
46:50Impossible!
46:51The will is fake!
46:52You forged it!
46:54I already mortgaged the shares!
46:56I have the right to sell them!
46:59Just then,
47:00Victor entered,
47:01with a document,
47:02eyes determined,
47:04voice calm.
47:05The shares you mortgaged,
47:06I've already acquired them all.
47:08Now I'm returning them to Emily where they belong.
47:11I know I was wrong before.
47:14This is the only thing I can do for her.
47:17Richard, you can't lose.
47:19We still need to retire comfortably in Australia.
47:22We can't be arrested!
47:25Think of something!
47:28Comfortable retirement?
47:30You hurt my mother,
47:32schemed against me,
47:33stole everything from her.
47:34It's time to settle these accounts.
47:38I presented the evidence,
47:40projecting it on the screen proof,
47:43of Dad and Morgana's affair.
47:45Recordings of driving mother to death.
47:48Everyone gasped,
47:49condemning Dad and Morgana,
47:50who turned pale,
47:52and looked wretched.
47:54Contact immigration to revoke their American citizenship,
47:58and file charges to pursue legal zurin.
48:02Emily!
48:04You can't do this!
48:07We're your family!
48:11From the moment you drove my mother to death,
48:14we stopped being family.
48:17Police arrested Dad and Morgana for suspected murder,
48:22as a transfer,
48:22and other charges.
48:24I know I don't deserve it,
48:27but I still want to tell you,
48:30I've always loved only you.
48:33I know, but we're impossible now.
48:37Take care of yourself.
48:39Victor nodded and laughed,
48:42eyes full of regret,
48:43but finally at peace.
48:46It's all over.
48:49From now on,
48:51I'll accompany you and the child to live well.
48:55Three months later,
48:57I successfully gave birth to a daughter,
48:59and became the joint leader of Hunter Corporation,
49:02and Thorn Corporation.
49:04In the villa garden,
49:05I held my daughter while Kay stayed beside me,
49:08sunlight falling on us.
49:10The daughter babbled, reaching for Kay's hair.
49:13Kay smiled gently with doting eyes.
49:16Kay said with a smile,
49:18eyes full of tenderness.
49:20From today on,
49:22I'm your and our daughter's personal servant.
49:25I leaned in his arms,
49:26looking at our daughter's peaceful sleeping face,
49:29a gentle smile playing on my lips.
49:31No, this is a new beginning.
49:34I was no longer anyone's canary.
49:37I could be our daughter's mother, Kay's wife,
49:41but most importantly,
49:42I was the master of my own destiny.
49:46This life was just beginning.
49:48The sunlight was perfect.
49:49And the pain of the past,
49:51had faded like clouds.
49:53My eyes were determined.
49:55I had finally become the master of my own fate.
