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