00:00My husband's personal assistant, Ivy, had a company card technically.
00:04Mine, and she was swiping it like it was Monopoly money,
00:07then had the nerve to call me a trophy wife in a high-end French restaurant.
00:10So I froze the card on the spot.
00:12The restaurant manager called the cops.
00:15She spent the night at the precinct explaining why she was borrowing my husband's money.
00:19Karma is a bitch, isn't it?
00:21When my husband, Ethan, found out, he just tapped my nose and laughed.
00:26Babe, you're a grown woman.
00:28Why are you fighting over that?
00:30You got her laughed out of the place.
00:32He didn't blame me, acted like it was nothing.
00:35Then on my birthday, he took me back to that same French place
00:38and ordered tables and tables of expensive dishes and vintage wine.
00:44Darling, I have to step out for a moment.
00:46I'll be right back to celebrate with you.
00:48I waited and waited.
00:49The restaurant was about to close.
00:52No husband, no friends.
00:54When I pulled out my card to pay, the manager leaned in.
00:58Mrs. Cater, this card's been frozen.
01:02Frozen?
01:02Are you kidding me?
01:04Ethan gave me this.
01:05Before he left, he took my usual one and said,
01:09It's your birthday.
01:10I'm paying tonight.
01:12I was actually touched.
01:13I thought I'd married a perfect man.
01:16Now he was gone.
01:17I called him 30 times.
01:19No answer.
01:20And if that card declined, I was in serious trouble.
01:25The manager's tone shifted, polite to irritated.
01:29Do you have another card?
01:31We don't allow tabs here, you know.
01:34After what happened last month.
01:36Of course I remembered.
01:38Last month, Ivy blew through thousands and called.
01:40Me, trophy wife.
01:42And suddenly this awful feeling crept up my spine.
01:44Was this revenge?
01:46Was Ethan getting even for her?
01:48Right then footsteps.
01:50Dress shoes on marble.
01:51I turned.
01:53It was.
01:54Ethan and Ivy.
01:56Olivia, don't you love punishing people who can't pay?
02:00Well, now you get to see what that feels like.
02:05Olivia is just a nobody from the sticks.
02:08She definitely hit the jackpot, but the luck just ran out.
02:10Look, Mr. Carter is here with his side spit to watch her fall from grace.
02:14Tragic.
02:15See?
02:15That's what happens when your only asset is a pretty face.
02:18Once the expiration date hits, you're out.
02:21My fists clenched.
02:22The humiliation burned through me.
02:25However she embarrassed you, I'll return the favor.
02:28You're the best, Ethan.
02:30You're just a pretty face.
02:32Who gave you the right to freeze my card?
02:35I've got him paying tonight.
02:36I could smash every bottle in here and it wouldn't matter.
02:39But you?
02:40You're done.
02:42Don't look at me like that.
02:43If you've got money, pay and leave.
02:45You doesn't have a dime without him.
02:47Ethan scanned the room.
02:49Voice ice cold.
02:52Anyone who helps her tonight is my enemy.
02:56One of our business partners started to stand.
02:58Whoa.
02:59Mr. Carter is damn serious.
03:02After that threat, no one moved.
03:04I lost it.
03:05I grabbed his arm.
03:07Ethan, are you humiliating me for her?
03:10Are you serious?
03:12Yes.
03:13That's exactly what I'm doing.
03:15I stared at him like I didn't even know who he was.
03:18We've been married three years.
03:20People used to call us the perfect couple.
03:22He was the one who chased me when I first moved here.
03:25At our wedding, he swore he'd be loyal forever.
03:28No betrayal.
03:30Love me with his life.
03:31Till death.
03:32And now, only three years later, every vow, every memory, shredded like it meant nothing.
03:38Guess they were right.
03:40When you marry rich with your face, you don't get dignity.
03:43The second someone younger shows up, your luxury life expires.
03:47But what Ethan never understood.
03:49I didn't marry him for money.
03:51I married him because I loved him.
03:53He looked at my red eyes, then casually wiped the hand I'd touched with.
03:57A napkin.
03:59Olivia, let's see what you do if you can't pay.
04:02Mr. Carter is ruthless.
04:04After tonight, she's toast.
04:08Shh.
04:08This is getting good.
04:10Before we left home, he took my card.
04:13And now, my phone was dead.
04:15This wasn't random.
04:17This was planned.
04:18Time is ticking away, Olivia.
04:20If you don't have the cash, I'd be happy to call the police.
04:23A few nights in jail would do you good.
04:26Isn't that what you did to me?
04:28I stared at Ethan like I could burn him alive.
04:30Little did they know, the Carter Empire only skyrocketed because of me.
04:35I opened doors, cleared enemies, and made calls that erased threats overnight.
04:39Tonight, I was going to tell him who I really was.
04:42Not some small-town nobody.
04:44I'm the heiress to the richest family in Westbridge.
04:47But he changed faster than I imagined.
04:50Ethan, is this really what you want?
04:52Then what do you think this is?
04:54Enjoy prison life, Olivia.
04:55Or since you love embarrassing people so much?
04:58Now it's your turn.
04:59You're going to record a full apology video now to the camera.
05:02Apologize to me and post it online.
05:05You asked for this.
05:07When the Carter Empire falls, it will be your responsibility.
05:12Oh, please.
05:14What is this, a soap opera?
05:15Ms. Carter, cash?
05:18Or is someone covering you?
05:21To his credit, he kept it professional.
05:23No public humiliation.
05:25Not yet.
05:26I scanned the room, then walked toward one of our long-time partners.
05:30Olivia, don't.
05:32I can't cross him.
05:34I just need your phone.
05:36I'll call a friend.
05:37Oh, please.
05:38Who's coming to save you?
05:40That's fine.
05:41Let her call.
05:41You've got 30 minutes.
05:43I dialed one number.
05:45Half an hour.
05:46Bring cash.
05:46Now.
05:47Every second felt louder.
05:49It's been 20 minutes.
05:51No one is coming to save you.
05:52Olivia, you're just playing us.
05:54Call security and seize her now.
05:57There's still 10.
05:58If no one shows up in 30 minutes, I'll record the video.
06:02I swear.
06:03The whole restaurant erupted again.
06:06Phones were already out.
06:07Man, I'm not even leaving.
06:08This is better than Netflix.
06:09I came here for dinner and got front road seats to a live meltdown.
06:1310 minutes.
06:14Almost up.
06:15A heavy set man reached for me.
06:17Don't you dare touch me.
06:18Nice figure, though.
06:19I can tell without even laying a hand on her.
06:22Mr. Carter, mind if I take her?
06:24Why not?
06:25If she can't pay, then she's all yours.
06:27Everyone was convinced I couldn't pay.
06:30And just like that, they stopped.
06:32Pretending to be civilized and started reaching for me.
06:35If hatred could take physical form, everyone in my line of sight would have dropped where
06:39they stood.
06:40But hatred doesn't work that way.
06:42Go.
06:43Grab her.
06:44Hold her down so those pigs can have their fun.
06:47Yes, sir.
06:48I looked at Ethan.
06:50Something inside me went completely cold.
06:52He didn't even flinch.
06:54Don't look at me like that.
06:55I'm not helping you.
06:56As long as Ivy feels better, that's all that matters.
06:59We were still legally married.
07:01And he stood there like I was nothing.
07:03Sweetheart, come with me.
07:05I've got money.
07:06I'll cover your bill.
07:08Pick me instead.
07:09I've got plenty of cash.
07:11And as you can see, I'm in much better shape than those guys.
07:14If you touch me, you'll regret it.
07:15I swear to God you'll pay for this.
07:17My ass.
07:19Strip her.
07:19Time's up.
07:20No more act.
07:21She didn't even finish the sentence.
07:23The doors burst open.
07:24Men in black suits stormed in.
07:26They moved fast, precise.
07:28Control taking down every man around me.
07:30In seconds.
07:31And right behind them, Nathan Reed.
07:34Riverton's most powerful banking.
07:36Executive.
07:37He walked in carrying a sleek case, expression carved in stone.
07:41Mrs. Clark, I brought the funds.
07:44I'm not too late, am I?
07:46Mr. Reed, what are you doing here?
07:48You're a big name.
07:49How could someone like her possibly get you to show up with money?
07:51Ivy rubbed her eyes hard, like she thought she was hallucinating.
07:55But no matter how many times she blinked, he was still there.
07:58It was really Nathan Reed.
08:00Nathan didn't even spare Ethan or Ivy a glance.
08:02He walked straight to me with respect.
08:05Ms. Clark, Ms. Monroe asked me to handle this immediately.
08:07She's on her way.
08:10And who gave you the nerve to treat Ms. Clark like this?
08:15The noisy restaurant dropped into instant, suffocating silence thought if the Carter group was the richest empire in the city,
08:20then the power behind Nathan could crush them without breaking a sweat.
08:24When Ethan first hit number one, people whispered, they just never guessed the trophy wife they mocked was the one
08:29pulling the strings.
08:30Ethan once told me.
08:31I'm going to be the richest man alive so my wife can spend without limits.
08:37Funny how things change.
08:39I built his throne.
08:40I can kick it out from under him, under Nathan's icy glare.
08:44No one dared whisper.
08:45Did Olivia seriously call in money?
08:50How is Mr. Reed her contact?
08:52Nathan turned to Ivy, voice razor sharp.
08:55Was this humiliation you're doing?
08:58I'm there for you.
09:00Everything's going to be fine.
09:01Ivy hid behind him, forcing down her panic.
09:05Yeah, Ethan's the richest man in Riverton.
09:08I might be intimidated by Nathan, but that doesn't mean Ethan is.
09:13The second she said it, her confidence came rushing back.
09:16She straightened her spine like she just remembered who she thought she was.
09:20Ethan stepped forward, voice turning cold.
09:23I don't know what kind of connection you think you have with Reed, but let me make something clear.
09:27In Rivervind, I can freeze you out.
09:29And Mr. Reed, this is a private family matter.
09:32It's not your place to interfere.
09:34I beat you once to claim the top spot, and I can do it again.
09:37Don't push me.
09:38I can have you pushed out of the city.
09:39Nathan let out a soft laugh.
09:40Big words.
09:42If it weren't for Mrs. Clark, your company would have been finished whole years ago.
09:48Everything you have came from her.
09:52You had everything handed to you, and you didn't even realize it.
09:57Ethan scoffed like it was a joke.
09:59I was tired, done explaining myself.
10:02I've paid the bill.
10:04Ivy, remember what you promised?
10:07Yeah, I said it.
10:09So what are you going to do about it?
10:12Ethan runs this town.
10:14I lowered my gaze slightly.
10:15You think hiding behind Mr. Reed gives you power over me?
10:18Keep dreaming.
10:19I said softly.
10:22When the news hits that Carter Stock is tumping, I hope Ethan can still look at you with that same
10:28devotion.
10:29My smile turned even colder.
10:31When the alert comes in that Carter Stock is sliding, I hope Ethan can still look at Ivy with that
10:36same devotion.
10:37Nathan's brow tightened slightly.
10:39He gave a subtle nod to the men in black.
10:41They understood instantly.
10:43In one swift move, one of them scrubbed Ivy and knocked her down right in front of me.
10:47She collapsed on the floor, scrambling on her hands and knees pathetic, almost animal-like.
10:53You made the promise, so you're going to honor it.
10:57Right now.
10:59Right now.
11:00You are going to apologize, admit what you did, and say it loud enough for everyone to hear.
11:07Someone shoved a phone in her face.
11:09The red wreck light blinked.
11:13Ethan, help me!
11:15I'd rather die than go through this!
11:17Screams finally snapped Ethan out of his shock.
11:20Harry flared across his face.
11:21Get her out of here!
11:22He blot at his own men.
11:24Within seconds, Nathan's men and Ethan's clashed.
11:26But it didn't last long.
11:28Ethan's men were on the floor almost immediately.
11:31They were never on Nathan's level to begin with.
11:34They weren't amateurs.
11:36Those men were professionally trained.
11:38Ivy's face drained of color again.
11:40Sweat rolled down her forehead.
11:42Ethan stared at us, fury burning in his eyes.
11:44Nathan, I show you a little courtesy and you think you own the place?
11:48Push me and I can make you disappear from Riverville right now.
11:53Don't go to war with me over Olivia.
11:55That would be incredibly stupid.
11:57Nathan didn't even dignify that threat with a reaction.
11:59Instead, he turned to me with calm respect.
12:02Everything follows Ms. Clark's decision.
12:04I smiled at Ethan slow, deliberate.
12:07What's wrong?
12:08You're allowed to humiliate me, but I'm not allowed to return the favor?
12:12And call my lawyer.
12:13I want the divorce papers drafted now.
12:16Make it fast.
12:16The second I finished speaking, Ethan exploded.
12:20You want a divorce?
12:22You don't get to decide that, Olivia.
12:25You're just a nobody I picked up.
12:27Know your place.
12:28You'll understand exactly who I am once you're signing those papers.
12:33Oh, and your father?
12:35He might be on his way to skin you alive.
12:38Shut up!
12:40Who the hell do you think you are?
12:43My dad's gonna show up and kill me for you?
12:47Please.
12:48Now I see it.
12:49You're really good at talking big.
12:51I don't know what trick you pulled to get Nathan on your side,
12:54but he can't protect you forever.
12:56While he was running his mouth.
12:58Since we're divorced, I'm done building the Carter name.
13:01Within 30 minutes, the second my call goes out,
13:04your stock starts sliding.
13:05And it won't stop until the Carter empire hits zero.
13:10Olivia, aren't you tired of this little act yet?
13:12Enough!
13:13You're doing nothing but stalling.
13:14Give it up, Olivia!
13:16You think Reed can ever take down the Carters?
13:18You ever wonder why he's forever the runner-up?
13:21Because the Carters keep him there.
13:23After the divorce papers,
13:24Ethan looked at me with this bored disgust
13:26like I was already yesterday's trash.
13:29Olivia.
13:30Olivia, I'll be merciful.
13:31For old time's sake.
13:32I'll let you keep some dignity.
13:34Since you paid for it,
13:35get on your knees and apologize to Ivy.
13:42I stared at him like,
13:44are you actually insane?
13:45She hadn't even paid for what she said she'd do,
13:48and he wanted me.
13:49Begging first?
13:50What is wrong with him?
13:52I checked my watch and smiled cold.
13:54Call your father.
13:55Ask him if Carter's stock is dropping.
13:58The way I said it hit different.
14:00Ethan's face twitched.
14:02Just a flicker of panic.
14:03Right as he reached for his phone,
14:05the door slammed open his father.
14:07Victor barged in wearing a robe and slippers.
14:10You stupid, ungrateful idiot!
14:13How did I raise someone this damn reckless?
14:15Victor hurried over, hands up.
14:18Oh dear, you hit it well.
14:21How could you never mention to you?
14:23How could you never mention you were the successor
14:26to the most powerful family in Westbrook?
14:29Elizabeth?
14:30I hadn't heard that name in a long time.
14:33My real name isn't Elizabeth Clark.
14:35Back then, I came to River to Skylar quietly.
14:38So I buried my identity.
14:40I never thought I'd end up on Ethan's radar.
14:43He worked me.
14:45Sweet words, perfect dates.
14:47That I'll protect you act, until I fell.
14:50Ethan snapped toward his father, then grabbed my arm.
14:52Elizabeth Clark?
14:53That's your real name?
14:54You're not kidding?
14:55The heiress to the Clark dynasty of Westbrook?
14:57The one who never makes public appearance?
14:59I yanked my arm away.
15:00Nathan immediately handed me a napkin gentle, respectful like I mattered.
15:05Ethan went pale on the spot.
15:07Because an hour ago, he wiped his hand after I touched him.
15:10Like I was contaminated.
15:12When I didn't answer him, he turned to his father, desperate.
15:16Dad?
15:17What the hell is going on?
15:20Ivy looked like she couldn't breathe.
15:21She was waiting for Victor to say.
15:24It was a mistake.
15:25She'd heard rumors about Elizabeth Clark.
15:27Everyone had.
15:29But nobody had.
15:30Ever seen her in person.
15:32And if I really was her?
15:33Ivy was finished.
15:35So was the Carter family.
15:37Victor turned on Ethan.
15:38Teeth clenched.
15:39That is right.
15:41She's Elizabeth Clark.
15:42And you're a damn fool.
15:45It's fucked.
15:45You threw away your wife for a cheap little side piece and you provoked her.
15:50Ethan froze.
15:51Ivy froze harder.
15:53The whole restaurant exploded into chaos.
15:55Wait, what the hell?
15:57Someone pinch me.
15:58Am I dreaming or is this real?
16:00Some idiot actually pinched his friend hard.
16:03Ethan screamed.
16:04Holy shit, it's real.
16:06We were literally just trashing her.
16:08We're so screwed.
16:10What are we going to do?
16:11She's going to ruin us.
16:13The panic around me sounded like a swarm of insects prayers, regrets, excuses.
16:19Everyone was silently begging I'd forget their faces.
16:22We literally just helped them.
16:24We tried to rip her clothes.
16:27I said this already.
16:29Anyone who tries to make me a joke.
16:31I lifted my chin.
16:33Becomes the joke.
16:34Victor reacted first and kicked Ivy.
16:36You poisonous little leech.
16:39Who do you think you are going against Miss Clark?
16:42You let those disgusting men touch her.
16:44And you actually tried to film her being humiliated?
16:47Ivy was dealt with.
16:48I turned to leave.
16:50But this time, no one backed her up.
16:53Not a single soul.
16:55The Carters have everything because of Miss Clark.
16:58I didn't know at first.
17:01I went to Westbrook.
17:06But then I went to Bridge.
17:10I saw her sitting at the head of the table with billionaires running the meeting like she owned the world.
17:18That's when it hit me just how powerful she really is.
17:23She was going to reveal it tonight.
17:25Bring you home to Westbrook and introduce you to her family.
17:29She tried to make you part of her dynasty.
17:34And you ruined it for a useless nobody.
17:38Ethan's eyes went wide and his whole body started shaking.
17:41He looked at me.
17:42Mouth open no sound.
17:44Reality finally slammed him in the face.
17:46Victor checked his phone and his face dropped.
17:50Elizabeth, no.
17:52Mrs. Clark, please call them off.
17:56Carter's stock is falling fast.
17:58If it keeps dropping, we're finished.
18:01I calmly adjusted my clothes.
18:03No emotion.
18:04No warmth.
18:05I said, I can lift the Carter family to the top.
18:08And I can also crush you into the mud.
18:11Victor didn't hesitate.
18:12He slapped Ethan across the face.
18:14What are you standing there for?
18:17Apologize to Miss Clark right now.
18:19You want to take us all down with you?
18:21Ethan finally snapped back into his body.
18:23He kicked Ivy in the face.
18:25It's all because of you!
18:28You made us fighting down!
18:30You...
18:30You made us fight each other!
18:32Hold her down!
18:32One out!
18:33His security grabbed Ivy and pinned her.
18:36Ivy sobbed, voice cracking.
18:38Ethan, make them let me go.
18:40This isn't what I wanted.
18:42Ethan, make them stop!
18:45You said you'd get revenge for me.
18:47Shut up.
18:48You encouraged me to do this.
18:50And now you're not willing to admit it.
18:53Ivy laughed through tears, bitter and wild.
18:55Wow, Ethan.
18:57You're really a professional at dodging responsibility.
19:01Don't think punishing me means Elizabeth will forgive you?
19:05Or forgive the Carters?
19:07Dream on.
19:08And she was right.
19:09Even if Ethan punished Ivy,
19:11I wasn't letting the Carters off the hook.
19:13But they still didn't get it.
19:15No.
19:15She's just angry right now.
19:17That's all.
19:18She loves me.
19:19Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden her identity
19:21and stayed with the Carters for three whole years.
19:24That alone proves how much she loves me.
19:26Once she cools off, I'll apologize.
19:28We'll fix this.
19:29We always do.
19:31Please, don't hurt me.
19:35What are you idiots standing around for?
19:41If she won't do the video,
19:43then make her.
19:44Beat her until she does.
19:46At his command,
19:47the guards started kicking Ivy hard.
19:49Not random hits either.
19:50They targeted joints,
19:52knees,
19:53ankles,
19:54places that
19:55ruin you.
19:57Ivy's screams turned sharp and piercing
19:59as the glows landed.
20:00Around us,
20:01people shrank back into themselves,
20:02too afraid to breathe too loud
20:04and no one wanted to offend the powerful.
20:06I'll do the video!
20:07I'll do anything!
20:08Just make them stop!
20:10They're gonna snap my legs!
20:11She cried hysterically,
20:13terrified of losing the one thing
20:15she valued most.
20:16She finally gave in.
20:17Her fingers trembled
20:18as she took the phone.
20:19The camera light
20:21burned into her face.
20:22I stole from the company.
20:24She sobbed.
20:26I went after a married man.
20:29I framed her.
20:31I lied about everything.
20:33Every word echoed
20:34in the silent restaurant.
20:36I turned to leave.
20:37Babe, where are you going?
20:38I punished Ivy.
20:39I'll never embarrass you again.
20:40Come home with me, please.
20:41Carter, are you out of your mind?
20:43Know your place
20:44and stop calling every woman
20:46you grab, babe.
20:47We signed divorce papers.
20:48Did you forget?
20:49Next time you see me,
20:50don't get my name wrong.
20:51The second I yanked my arm away,
20:53my childhood friend
20:54Miles Morgan walked in.
20:55Liz,
20:56so this is why you refused
20:57to marry me back then?
20:59Him?
21:00Seriously?
21:00That's your type?
21:01Your taste is awful.
21:02He's not as good looking as me,
21:04not even close.
21:05And he definitely doesn't
21:06carry himself like I do.
21:07And most importantly,
21:08I've loved you for 10 years straight.
21:09He couldn't even stay faithful for three.
21:11The room instantly went,
21:13oh,
21:13h, h, h,
21:14like a crowd at a live show.
21:15They didn't know who I really was.
21:17But they all knew Miles Morgan,
21:19one of the richest men in the world.
21:21His face was everywhere.
21:23Magazine.
21:24Covers.
21:25Business headlines.
21:26Global summits.
21:28And yeah,
21:28Miles was tall,
21:29sharp,
21:30unfairly handsome.
21:31Next to him,
21:32Ethan didn't even register.
21:34Standing side by side,
21:35Miles completely wiped him off the screen.
21:37With Miles there,
21:39Ethan finally felt real danger
21:40and he panicked.
21:42We were divorced.
21:43He'd humiliated me publicly,
21:45trying to get me back.
21:47Now,
21:48impossible.
21:49Babe,
21:50Elizabeth,
21:50who is he?
21:51Before I could answer,
21:52Miles shot Ethan a look like
21:54he was gum on a shoe.
21:55You seriously have to ask?
21:57I'm her fiance.
21:58You two are done
21:59and she's not marrying anybody else
22:01except me.
22:03I sighed and smiled
22:04because that's just Miles no filter.
22:06He's always been blunt,
22:08always loud about what he wants.
22:10Come on.
22:12I haven't been home
22:13to see my parents in a long time.
22:15Ethan chased after us.
22:17Liz,
22:17what about me?
22:18And what about the Carters?
22:20I paused,
22:21but I didn't turn around.
22:22We're divorced.
22:23Why would you be my problem?
22:25Ethan's voice broke.
22:26Tears dropped fast,
22:27like his body gave up,
22:29pretending.
22:30If I hadn't humiliated you
22:32because of Ivy,
22:33if I'd stopped them
22:34before they touched you,
22:35would you forgive me?
22:37If you didn't find out
22:38I'm Elizabeth Clark,
22:39would you still realize
22:41your mistake?
22:42Would you still punish Ivy?
22:43That question strangled him.
22:45He couldn't answer,
22:47and I didn't stay
22:48for his silence.
22:49I walked out with Miles,
22:51because life doesn't do what if.
22:53Wrong is wrong
22:54and some doors don't.
22:55Reopen.
22:56The moment we left
22:57that French restaurant,
22:58the night wind hit my face sharp,
23:00late autumn cold.
23:01I tucked my messy hair
23:02behind my ear.
23:03My couture dress
23:04was stained and wrinkled,
23:05but it couldn't hide
23:06what I was underneath.
23:07Miles took off his suit jacket
23:09and draped it over my shoulders.
23:10When his fingers brushed
23:12my cold skin,
23:13he moved carefully gentle.
23:14Liz,
23:15they didn't deserve you.
23:16I shook my head
23:17and looked out
23:18at the traffic in neon.
23:19The lights reflected in my eyes,
23:21but nothing felt warm.
23:22I'm free now.
23:24Finally.
23:26Better to learn the truth now
23:28than waste a lifetime on a lie.
23:29Miles started the engine,
23:31and the black luxury car
23:32slid smoothly into traffic.
23:33I already have eyes
23:34on the Carters.
23:37Carter stock is dropping hard.
23:40Victor is spinning out.
23:44He called me a dozen times
23:46begging for peace.
23:47I rejected everyone.
23:48Liz,
23:49I shouldn't have let
23:50Ivies manipulate me.
23:51I shouldn't have done
23:52those things to you.
23:53Please.
23:55Just give me another chance.
23:57I'll give you anything.
23:58The company.
23:59My money.
24:00It's all yours.
24:02Just forgive me.
24:04Employees stared,
24:05whispering,
24:06pointing like this
24:06was a live meltdown.
24:08I frowned
24:09and spoke to security.
24:10Get him out of here.
24:11And if he comes back,
24:12don't let him within
24:1310 feet of this building.
24:14Yes, Ms. Clark.
24:15They grabbed Ethan
24:16and started hauling him out.
24:18Liz!
24:19I know you still love me.
24:21You gave up everything
24:22in West Brigg
24:23to come here and find me.
24:24You still love me.
24:25I know you do.
24:26I watched him with cold eyes
24:28until he vanished down the hall.
24:29Then I turned back to Adam.
24:31Continue.
24:32But after that scene,
24:33I had zero interest
24:34in touring anything.
24:35Miles picked up on it instantly.
24:37Well, that's enough for today.
24:40Let's get out of here, Liz.
24:42I'll take you somewhere quiet.
24:44Claire handed me a tablet.
24:45On screen,
24:46Carter Group's livestock chart.
24:48A straight dive.
24:50No bounce.
24:51No mercy.
24:52The comments were chaos.
24:54Investors were dumping shares
24:56like a sinking ship.
24:57Mrs. Clark,
24:59Victor sent expensive gifts again
25:01and a handwritten apology.
25:02I had it returned.
25:05Ethan called dozens of times.
25:07I blocked every number.
25:10And he sent a ton of texts too.
25:12Apologies.
25:14Saying he knows he was wrong.
25:16Begging for another chance.
25:20I glanced at the previews.
25:22Same recycled lines.
25:23I wasn't thinking.
25:25I didn't mean that way.
25:26You're the only one I love.
25:28It was pathetic.
25:30Three years together,
25:31and he never learned who I am.
25:33He thought a sorry text
25:34could erase trauma.
25:35He thought I'd melt like I used to.
25:37Not anymore.
25:38I ignore it.
25:40Send the word.
25:41Every Westbridge partner,
25:42cut the Carters off.
25:43Immediately.
25:44And pull every illegal move they made
25:46using the Clark name.
25:48Organize the evidence
25:49and hand it to the authorities.
25:51Claire nodded and moved fast.
25:52Miles watched me carefully.
25:54Liz,
25:55you're going to erase them,
25:56aren't you?
25:57They came for me first.
25:59I looked up,
26:00my eyes cold.
26:01Ethan let Ivy humiliate me.
26:03He even let those disgusting men
26:04put their hands on me.
26:06Did he think there would be
26:06no consequences?
26:07My boundaries aren't something
26:09anyone gets to test.
26:10Miles nodded.
26:11Silence.
26:12He simply handed me warm tea.
26:15Take some rest.
26:16I'll keep watch on everything.
26:18That night,
26:18no one said more.
26:19By morning,
26:20Birdsong woke me.
26:22Right after I got ready,
26:23Nathan called.
26:26Good morning,
26:27Ms. Clark.
26:28Carter Group released
26:29an emergency statement at dawn.
26:31They're begging for peace.
26:32They're offering 30% of the company
26:35just to make you stop.
26:36And Ethan's been outside our bank
26:38since morning.
26:39He wanted to apologize in person.
26:40I had him removed.
26:41Hey,
26:42no,
26:43let me go.
26:43I don't want their shares.
26:45I gave a small laugh.
26:47Carter's stock is nothing
26:48but trash to me.
26:49Tell Victor I can show mercy.
26:51He brings Ethan
26:52to my brother's grave
26:53and they beg for forgiveness.
26:54Yes, ma'am.
26:55They don't stop
26:56until I'm satisfied.
26:58Years ago,
26:59my brother Evan Clark
27:00personally escorted a shipment
27:01to help me evaluate
27:02Riverton's market.
27:03He was a tax supposedly random.
27:06But the truth is,
27:07the Carters did it quietly
27:08so they could swallow
27:09Clark assets in Riverton.
27:11That's why I hid my name,
27:12partly to watch Ethan,
27:14but mostly
27:15to collect proof
27:16and avenge my brother.
27:18Nathan agreed immediately
27:20that I ended the call.
27:21Claire came in.
27:22Ms. Clark,
27:23Mr. Morgan is waiting downstairs.
27:24He said he wants to show you
27:26a few projects today.
27:28I nodded and changed
27:29into a clean white suit,
27:30sharp lines,
27:31no softness.
27:32With slim heels,
27:34my whole presence
27:34snapped into place,
27:35nothing like the woman
27:36they tried to humiliate
27:37last night.
27:38When I came down,
27:39Miles was leaning
27:40against the car.
27:41Liz,
27:41suits were made for you.
27:44I smiled and got in.
27:45Miles started the car
27:46and nodded
27:47toward the skyline.
27:48Even while I was lying low,
27:50I never stopped building
27:51my position in Riverton.
27:52Tech ventures,
27:54real estate developments,
27:55multiple projects,
27:56all under my control.
27:58And Ethan never had a clue.
27:59He truly believed
28:00I was just a trophy wife
28:02living off him.
28:02We pulled up in front
28:04of a brand new glass tower.
28:05This was my tech company.
28:07The company's
28:08managing director,
28:09Adam,
28:09was already waiting
28:10at the entrance.
28:12Mrs. Clark,
28:13welcome.
28:15We went inside.
28:16He started briefing me
28:17on updates,
28:18numbers,
28:19expansion.
28:20Miles walked beside me,
28:21adding details here and there,
28:23then noise near the elevator.
28:25I turned.
28:26Ethan looked
28:26wrecked wrinkled clothes,
28:28messy hair,
28:28bloodshot eyes.
28:29He was fighting security,
28:31trying to rush toward me.
28:34Liz!
28:35Liz!
28:36Honey!
28:37Just look at me!
28:38I'm sorry, honey!
28:40I'm so sorry!
28:41Security held him back.
28:43He kept thrashing,
28:44eyes full of regret
28:45and desperate pleading.
28:47Do what you have to do.
28:48Do what you're to meant.
28:50Don't hold back.
28:51I leaned back
28:52and closed my eyes.
28:53Ethan's panicked face
28:54flashed in my mind,
28:55and that last question
28:56he couldn't answer.
28:57All I felt was emptiness.
28:59I resurrected the Carters.
29:01I handed them the climb.
29:03They chose to waste it.
29:04They sealed their own end.
29:06The car entered
29:07a quiet, gated neighborhood.
29:08My private place
29:10in Riverton Clean
29:11understated.
29:12Tastefully powerful.
29:14Not loud like the Carter Mansion.
29:16Claire was waiting at the door.
29:17The second she saw me,
29:19her eyes reddened
29:20and she hurried over
29:21to steady me.
29:22Miss Clark,
29:23thank God you're back.
29:24Are you alright?
29:27I'm fine.
29:28Tell the kitchen
29:29to keep it simple.
29:30Something hot,
29:31something light.
29:31After a shower,
29:33I changed into
29:33soft lounge clothes.
29:34One bowl of warm comfort food,
29:36and the tension
29:37finally loosened just a little.
29:39Miles took me
29:39to a hot spring resort
29:40outside Riverton Quiet,
29:42tucked away in the hills.
29:43No noise.
29:45No paparazzi.
29:46Just airing trees.
29:48Sinking into the hot water
29:49melted the tension
29:50out of my muscles.
29:51Miles sat nearby,
29:53watching me.
29:55You know what's insane?
29:56Ethan still thinks
29:57you hid your name
29:58because you loved him.
29:59He has no idea
30:00you had a reason
30:01from day one.
30:02I ran my fingers
30:03through the water.
30:04He's arrogant.
30:06He honestly thinks
30:07marrying him
30:07was the best thing
30:08that ever happened to me.
30:10But he never asked
30:11the real question.
30:13Who am I?
30:15And why would I choose him?
30:17When I first arrived
30:18in Riverton,
30:18Ethan came at me
30:19hard full court press.
30:21He was attentive,
30:22generous,
30:22always saying yes,
30:24always making me
30:24feel taken care of.
30:26For a newcomer,
30:27it felt like belonging.
30:28And he looked ambitious
30:29back then like he might
30:30actually be worth
30:31investing in.
30:32So I stayed.
30:34Kept my name hidden.
30:35I wanted to see
30:36if he was truly
30:37worth my family's backing.
30:38I leveraged
30:39the Clark family's
30:40influence to clear his path.
30:42I helped him crush
30:43competitor after competitor
30:44until the Carters
30:45went from who?
30:46To the richest family
30:47in Riverton.
30:48But I didn't expect
30:49that the higher he climbed,
30:50the more his ego swelled
30:52and the uglier
30:52his ambition got.
30:53He started looking down
30:55on my background,
30:56acting like I wasn't
30:57good enough for
30:57Mr. Richest Man
30:58in Riverton.
30:59And suddenly,
31:00there were women
31:01everywhere laughing too loud,
31:02staying a little too long.
31:04Ivy was the worst of them,
31:06the boldest,
31:07the most shameless.
31:08It's not like I didn't notice.
31:10I did.
31:11I just waited waiting
31:13for him to come back
31:14to his senses
31:14and waiting for the
31:15perfect moment
31:16to take the Carters
31:16down for good.
31:18And my birthday dinner?
31:19That was the opening.
31:21To get revenge for Ivy,
31:23he set me up,
31:24humiliated me on purpose.
31:25And that's when
31:26I finally saw him clearly.
31:28Every last bit of attachment
31:29died right there.
31:30Back in my room
31:31after the hot springs,
31:33Claire sent me a message.
31:34The moment Ethan
31:35dropped Ivy,
31:36the crowd that used
31:37to swarm her
31:38turned on her instantly.
31:39She ended up broke,
31:41chased by debt collectors,
31:42and basically living
31:43on the street.
31:44Rumor was she was
31:45digging through
31:46a produce market
31:47for thrown out scraps,
31:48looking absolutely wrecked.
31:49Victor forced Ethan
31:50to issue a public confession.
31:52A three-hour live stream
31:53apology press conferences,
31:55social media statements,
31:56every outlet you can imagine.
31:58They humiliated themselves
31:59in front of millions.
32:01And I still didn't move.
32:03My brother's life
32:04isn't something you settle
32:05with PR damage control.
32:07What the Carters owe me
32:08what they owe the Clarks,
32:09I'm collecting it slowly,
32:10with interest.
32:11Days passed.
32:12The Carters got worse.
32:14Partners pulled contracts.
32:16Banks called in loans.
32:18Regulators stepped in.
32:19Carter group couldn't
32:20hold the line.
32:21Bankruptcy.
32:22Liquidation.
32:23Victor couldn't take it.
32:25He had a massive
32:26brain hemorrhage,
32:27landed in the hospital,
32:28and slipped into
32:29a vegetative state.
32:30Ethan went from
32:31the top of Riverton
32:32to nothing overnight.
32:33He sold every property
32:35and every luxury car
32:36to pay for Victor's treatment
32:37but it barely made a dent.
32:38He tried a hundred ways
32:40to get to me.
32:41I shut every door.
32:42He even went to Westbridge,
32:44trying to beg the senior members
32:46of the Clark family
32:47to step in.
32:48They didn't even grant him a meeting.
32:50Security showed him the door.
32:52That night,
32:53I went with Miles
32:53to a business gala pact
32:54with elites.
32:55As the Clark heiress,
32:57I was the center of attention.
32:59The very people
33:00who once looked down
33:01on my background
33:01were now scrambling
33:02to align themselves with me.
33:04Their faces were coated
33:05in fake smiles
33:06nothing like that cold,
33:07mocking energy
33:08they had in the restaurant.
33:09I handled it smoothly,
33:10calm, elegant,
33:11charming when I wanted to be.
33:13Miles stayed at my side
33:14the entire time,
33:15shielding me from the noise.
33:17The warmth in his eyes
33:18wasn't even trying to hide.
33:19Halfway through the night,
33:21a commotion hit the entrance.
33:23Ethan walked in looking
33:23like he'd aged 10 years
33:25overnight rumpled clothes,
33:26gray streaking his hair,
33:27exhaustion etched
33:28into his face.
33:29The confident CEO Carter
33:30from a few months ago
33:31was gone.
33:32He fought past security
33:33and sprinted toward me,
33:35shouting,
33:39He broke free,
33:41reached me,
33:42and dropped to his knees
33:43with a thud.
33:43He grabbed my dress,
33:45desperation all over his face.
33:47Liz, I know I screwed up.
33:48I was an idiot.
33:50I threw everything away.
33:52Please,
33:53please save my dad.
33:55Don't take everything from me.
33:56I just want to be with you.
33:58I'll do anything.
33:59I swear,
34:00I'll spend the rest of my life
34:01making this right.
34:02People stared,
34:04whispered,
34:04and pointed.
34:05Their eyes were full of amusement
34:07and disgust.
34:09I looked down at him
34:10with zero emotion.
34:11I gently pulled my clothing free
34:13and looked down at him.
34:14Ethan,
34:16look at you.
34:17Do you even recognize
34:19what you've become?
34:20He looked up,
34:21tears streaking down his face.
34:23I look like a damn fool.
34:24That's what I am.
34:29Liz,
34:29please forgive me.
34:32Gis.
34:34just one more chance.
34:36I gave you countless chances
34:38when you let Ivy humiliate me,
34:41when you hit me,
34:42when you stood there
34:44while those men put their hands on me
34:46and you didn't move.
34:48Did you ever think
34:49this day would come?
34:51I wasn't thinking.
34:53Ivy fooled me.
34:55Liz,
34:55you were always the only one.
34:57I've always loved you.
34:59Love?
35:00I laughed soft,
35:01sharp,
35:02mocking.
35:02Don't call that love.
35:03That's not love.
35:04Ethan,
35:05remember this.
35:06You destroyed what we had
35:07with your own hands
35:08and you pushed the Carters
35:09into the grave.
35:11This is on you.
35:12Nobody else.
35:13I paused,
35:13letting my eyes drag
35:14over his pale face.
35:16And one more thing,
35:17you never loved me.
35:19You loved what I gave you.
35:20You loved my family's influence.
35:22You loved the leverage,
35:24the power,
35:25the reach.
35:26And now that it's gone,
35:27you want me back?
35:28That's not how this works.
35:31Ethan's face went paper white.
35:32He collapsed onto the floor,
35:34the light in his eyes
35:35dying inch by inch.
35:36His mouth opened
35:37but nothing came out.
35:39Security stepped in
35:40and dragged him out.
35:41His screams and begging
35:43faded into the night.
35:44Miles took my hand
35:45and said softly,
35:47It's over.
35:48I nodded and looked up
35:49at the sky full of stars
35:50my mind finally clear.
35:52Yeah,
35:52it was all over.
35:54All the ugliness,
35:55all the pain,
35:56vanished with the Carter collapse.
35:58After the gala,
35:58Miles drove me home.
36:00As we moved through the dark,
36:02he spoke up.
36:03Liz, look.
36:03The stars are so bright tonight.
36:05I looked up.
36:06The sky was scattered
36:07with light sharp and gorgeous.
36:09It looked like my future.
36:10Liz?
36:11Miles said as he pulled over,
36:13turning to me with a seriousness
36:14that made my chest tighten.
36:16I've waited 10 years
36:17from a reckless teenager
36:19to the man I am now.
36:20I've never changed.
36:22Ethan is out of your world.
36:24So,
36:25can you give me a chance
36:28to stay by your side
36:29and protect you
36:29for the rest of my life?
36:31I looked into his eyes
36:32so much devotion,
36:33so much certainty
36:34and warmth spread through me.
36:3510 years.
36:36Miles had been there
36:37for 10 years.
36:38When I was at my lowest,
36:40he guarded me quietly.
36:41When I hid my name,
36:43he handled everything
36:44in Westbridge for me.
36:45When Ethan humiliated me,
36:47Miles was the first one
36:48to show up and stand
36:49between me and the world.
36:50It's not like
36:51I didn't feel his feelings.
36:52I was just trapped
36:54in my own storm revenge strategy,
36:56planning blind
36:57to the warmth
36:57right next to me.
36:59I smiled softly
37:00and nodded.
37:02Okay.
37:03Miles' eyes lit up
37:04like someone turned the sun on.
37:05He held my hand carefully,
37:07like he was holding
37:08everything he'd ever wanted.
37:10Outside,
37:10the night breeze drifted by,
37:12carrying a faint floral scent.
37:14I leaned on his shoulder,
37:15staring at the stars,
37:17feeling hope fill my chest.
37:18Ethan's regret
37:19wasn't my problem.
37:20The Carter downfall
37:22was self-inflicted.
37:23And me,
37:24Elizabeth Clark,
37:25heiress of Westbridge's
37:26Clark family
37:26finally stepped out
37:27of the shadows
37:28and into my own light.
37:29With Miles beside me,
37:30with my family behind me,
37:32and with my own strength,
37:33I knew my future
37:34would be bright,
37:35loud, beautiful,
37:36unstoppable.
37:37And the people who hurt me,
37:39they'd spend the rest
37:40of their lives
37:40choking on regret.
37:41I was just like,
