Court métrageTranscription
00:00:0018 years ago, I married Victor Blackwood.
00:00:03A system approached me back then,
00:00:05warning that this marriage would trap me in a life of endless hardship.
00:00:09But I didn't believe it, and refused to bind with it.
00:00:12I never imagined that after 18 years,
00:00:14of playing the perfect wife and mother,
00:00:16in their eyes, I'm just a freeloader,
00:00:19nothing more than an unpaid nanny.
00:00:23Post detected, dignity level has hit rock bottom.
00:00:27Re-initiating prompt.
00:00:28Activate the awakening system.
00:00:34Binding, successful.
00:00:36Newcomer gift package issued.
00:00:38Identity unlocked.
00:00:39Heiress to the wealthiest family.
00:00:55Miss.
00:00:57Your special assistant, Sebastian, is here to take you home.
00:01:00Welcome home, Miss Sterling.
00:01:03I've already bought the king crab.
00:01:05Dinner is already ready, and you want another dish?
00:01:07Mom, I really want to eat it.
00:01:09Hurry back.
00:01:10Dad, Grandma, and I are all back from the movies,
00:01:12and you still aren't done cooking?
00:01:13All right.
00:01:14How was the movie?
00:01:23Sophie, eat more.
00:01:25Ellie never knows.
00:01:26How to cook enough food.
00:01:28Just eat hers first.
00:01:29I already sent her out to buy the king crab.
00:01:31I'm the one who told her to get it.
00:01:33I know Sophie loves king crab the most.
00:01:36Thank you, Ethan.
00:01:38Sophie, about that gaming expo you mentioned, when are we going?
00:01:42I wish you were my mom.
00:01:43She doesn't understand any of this.
00:01:45She's so plain and boring, always bossing me around.
00:01:49Like some old-fashioned nanny.
00:01:51I can't even talk to her.
00:01:52Then she blames it on my age.
00:01:55Years ago, I didn't want Ellie in this family,
00:01:57but Victor insisted on marrying her.
00:02:00Ma'am, I think Ellie is quite sweet.
00:02:03She's gentle and has no temper.
00:02:06Mom, I only married Ellie,
00:02:08so she could keep this household running smoothly.
00:02:11Look at Sophie's hands.
00:02:12They're so delicate.
00:02:14Not suited for chores.
00:02:16Right?
00:02:17True.
00:02:18I suppose you're right.
00:02:20At least she's better than some stranger from a temp agency.
00:02:23Uh-huh.
00:02:23So really, Mom, just think of her as a free nanny.
00:02:25It's been 18 years.
00:02:27We've saved a fortune.
00:02:29Indeed.
00:02:31Who were you all just saying?
00:02:33The free-live-in nanny?
00:02:36Ellie.
00:02:39I thought you were buying king crabs.
00:02:41How did you get back so fast?
00:02:43Since when?
00:02:44Did you start eavesdropping?
00:02:46So disrespectful.
00:02:48Exactly.
00:02:49Appearing out of nowhere.
00:02:50This is unacceptable.
00:02:53You just said that you married a free-live-in nanny?
00:02:57Ellie, what Victor meant was that you're very frugal and diligent.
00:03:03Since you heard everything anyway, I'll stop pretending.
00:03:06If Victor hadn't stopped me, I would have said it long ago.
00:03:09If Victor hadn't insisted back then, you wouldn't even be qualified to enter our family as a servant.
00:03:15Now that you are a legitimate Mrs. Blackwood, you should be grateful.
00:03:19This is a blessing that others couldn't get in lifetimes.
00:03:21A blessing?
00:03:23So in your eyes...
00:03:24The title of Mrs. Blackwood is so precious that it's worth me sacrificing my youth to serve your family like
00:03:32a slave.
00:03:33And I should still be thankful?
00:03:34Mom, are you going through menopause?
00:03:37You're always so paranoid, blaming everyone for everything.
00:03:42Ethan, you always blame me for not letting you play games, say I'm menopausal, and think I'm mean to you.
00:03:47Since you don't want me to be your mother, from now on, I am no longer your mother.
00:03:52Fine, see if I care.
00:03:55Hey, that's enough. Cut it out.
00:03:57Alright, that's enough.
00:03:59Sit down and eat. Get some food for yourself.
00:04:04Cut it out?
00:04:06Victor, I must have been blind to marry you and spend 18 years with this heartless family.
00:04:14Ah!
00:04:20You. Did you hear what she said?
00:04:22What kind of daughter-in-law you brought to me?
00:04:25Ellie, you're crazy. This is going too far.
00:04:28Too far?
00:04:29Is it me, or is it your heartless, selfish family that's gone too far?
00:04:34I served you for 18 years with all my heart, only to be a free-live-in nanny.
00:04:44Victor, let's get a divorce.
00:04:50Ellie, don't say such things in anger. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have disturbed you today. I should leave.
00:04:57Sophie, stay here. This has nothing to do with you. It seems I've been too soft on her all these
00:05:05years.
00:05:05She needs a lesson in discipline. Our Blackwood family has strict rules.
00:05:10No daughter-in-law here has ever dared to mention divorce.
00:05:13If you want a divorce, then strip off every piece of clothing bought with the Blackwood family's money before you
00:05:19walk out.
00:05:20You!
00:05:25Victor, is this what you want too?
00:05:32Fine. Fine.
00:05:35Ellie, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Do you really want to leave?
00:05:40Think carefully.
00:05:42Without the Blackwood family, you're absolutely nothing. I'm telling you one last time.
00:05:46What a disaster. Marrying a woman like this. I've disgraced our ancestors.
00:06:02Mom, stop being hysterical.
00:06:04From now on, I have nothing to do. With you or the Blackwood.
00:06:1718 years. I thought I was living in happiness, but it was all a lie.
00:06:21But little did they know that the system reached out to me 18 years ago.
00:06:25This time, I'll make them learn a lesson they'll never forget.
00:06:28Miss, what can I do for you?
00:06:30Arrange a hotel and clothes for me.
00:06:34And get me a lawyer.
00:06:43Miss, you own five manors, two private islands, and 17 properties.
00:06:48Of course, there's also the top luxury hotel in the country.
00:06:51Your suite is on the top floor, 800 square meters, with a private pool, a sky garden, and a panoramic
00:06:56terrace.
00:06:56Ellie?
00:07:00It really is you.
00:07:02What are you doing here?
00:07:03Oh, Victor was worried I wouldn't rest well, so he specifically booked the presidential suite here at $88,000 a
00:07:10night.
00:07:10Ellie, you should know. When a man is willing to spend money on a woman, that's true love. Do you
00:07:17understand?
00:07:20Miss, should I clear the room?
00:07:21Oh, I was wondering why you dared mention divorce today. Turns out you've already found another backer outside. And here
00:07:28I thought you were some devoted wife.
00:07:32Miss Sophie Smith, 27 years old, currently works at Mister. Victor Blackwood's company as an admin supervisor. Last month, due
00:07:38to using unethical means to get business, you were reported three times.
00:07:42Who are you? How do you know all this?
00:07:45I'm sorry to inform you, Miss Smith. The Crowne Plaza refuses to serve you.
00:07:50Please show Miss Smith out. From now on, the Crowne Plaza Hotel and all its subsidiaries are banned from Miss
00:07:56Smith.
00:07:58Security, bring her out.
00:08:00Ellie, don't think you're special just because you hooked up with a man. I'm gonna tell Victor right now.
00:08:06Mom is such a nuisance, running away today of all days. Now even Sophie feels awkward staying for dinner.
00:08:16Yes?
00:08:17Victor, I just seem to see Ellie checking into the Crowne Plaza with some man.
00:08:23What?
00:08:24What's all the shouting about?
00:08:26Ellie just asked for a divorce, and she's already at a hotel with another man?
00:08:29What? No way. This is so humiliating. How can I face my classmates if they know?
00:08:34No, no. I won't let her get away with this. She's cheating, and I'm going to catch her in the
00:08:38act.
00:08:39Exactly. You should go. The Blackwood family has never had such a scandalous daughter-in-law.
00:08:44Ellie, if you dare betray me, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life.
00:09:01Honey, I haven't bought any new clothes in a year. I want this one.
00:09:07Pink is too young. It doesn't suit you.
00:09:11Oh.
00:09:13What I mean is, to me, you're beautiful without any effort.
00:09:18Really?
00:09:19Yes. I like your natural beauty.
00:09:26Mom and my son are almost back. It's time to cook. Yeah. Get to it.
00:09:32Okay.
00:09:36At her age, she still loves playing dress-up.
00:09:39In the beginning, he asked me to quit my high-paying job, to stay at home, and said I wouldn't
00:09:44have to worry about any expenses.
00:09:46I was only supposed to be a carefree wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.
00:09:50I didn't think it would end like this, without even the right to buy one piece of clothing.
00:09:53This time, I won't put my life in anyone else's hands.
00:10:02Ellie, come out here right now.
00:10:06Ellie, I know you're in there. Open up.
00:10:07Oh, Victor, ma'am. Don't be so angry. Ellie is probably just confused.
00:10:13Ellie, why don't you come out and explain?
00:10:16There's no point in hiding inside.
00:10:18Stop it. This is a private floor. What are you doing?
00:10:21He's the man she's seeing?
00:10:23Oh? You dare show your face?
00:10:26Wait till I get my hands on you. I'll take you out.
00:10:37In the middle of the night, making a scene at my door?
00:10:40Ellie, how did I wrong you? I provide your food and your drink, yet you actually cheat.
00:10:44A man and woman alone. It's improper.
00:10:48Ethan, listen to me.
00:10:50Never ever marry a woman like your mother.
00:10:52What? Mom?
00:10:53Mom? You're almost 40 years old, yet you're doing this. Even as your son. I'm ashamed.
00:10:58A man and woman alone? You're wrong.
00:11:09Look now. Are we still alone? How shameless. So disgraceful.
00:11:15Ellie, when did you become like this? You've become a stranger to me. You're disgusting.
00:11:24Her aura. Why did it suddenly get so strong? It's actually making me back away.
00:11:29The pittance you give me every month hardly pays for any meat or fresh produce. And you call me disgusting.
00:11:43You actually want to divorce me.
00:11:45From now on, I have nothing to do with the Blackwood family. Who I'm with and what I do is
00:11:50none of your business.
00:11:51I don't agree.
00:11:52Even if there's a divorce, it'll be us kicking you out.
00:11:55Ellie, don't do anything reckless.
00:11:56Forget it. I won't sign the papers. You cheated. And I'm not at fault. Even in court, you can't possibly
00:12:03win.
00:12:04Ellie, you betrayed me, so you must pay the price. You'll serve the Blackwood families as our slave for life.
00:12:12And go nowhere.
00:12:13You've gone too far.
00:12:15If you just come home quietly and do your best to serve Mom and Ethan, I might forgive you this
00:12:21once.
00:12:22I don't want her help. I'm an adult now. I...
00:12:25Victor!
00:12:27Ellie, you've really lost your mind.
00:12:30Ellie, you dared to hit me. Fine. You want a divorce? Only when I'm gone.
00:12:36Host, you've completed one counterattack, awakening your top lawyer status. A world-class law firm has been added.
00:12:45Miss Sterling, we are the world-renowned Herbert Law Firm, and we are now under your command.
00:12:51Then, for the first case, start with mine.
00:12:55Miss, the lawyers for Herbert Law Firm have organized the necessary documents for your divorce. These include...
00:13:01Speak.
00:13:02Starting from five years ago, Mr. Victor checked into hotels on the 20th of every month. The other person staying
00:13:08there was...
00:13:09Sophie Smith.
00:13:10You, you're talking nonsense.
00:13:12Ellie, please don't misunderstand.
00:13:15We were just looking for a quiet place to discuss work.
00:13:18Discuss work? Discussing it in a hotel bed, right?
00:13:22Wait, Sophie.
00:13:23You hit me?
00:13:25This slap is for ruining my marriage, being a fake hypocrite, and stirring up trouble.
00:13:31Mom, Sophie already said she was only talking work with dad. Don't blame her.
00:13:38I carried you for nine months, raised you for over ten years, and now you're standing before that woman protecting
00:13:44her.
00:13:45Ellie, the kid is right here. What are you doing?
00:13:49And this slap is for being heartless and purely selfish.
00:13:54Ellie, you shrew.
00:13:57Fine. I've changed my mind.
00:14:00First, due to your serious misconduct, I am taking all of our marital assets, leaving you with nothing.
00:14:08Second, I'm seeking damages for 18 years of emotional distress and unpaid domestic labor, not less than $50 million.
00:14:17Otherwise, this evidence will be enough to put you behind bars for a few years.
00:14:22Ellie, I know I was wrong. I was just confused with Sophie. She's the one who seduced me.
00:14:28Victor, you!
00:14:30Dad, you really cheated?
00:14:32Ellie, believe me. I swear. In ten years of marriage, I've only been with you two.
00:14:37The Blackwood family is a large family. Having children with many women is common.
00:14:43Back then, your father-in-law had plenty of women outside, and I never took it to heart.
00:14:47So, a woman cheating is unforgivable, but a man cheating is perfectly normal.
00:14:52Those are the Blackwood family rules. And your upbringing.
00:14:55A woman cheating is unforgivable, but a man cheating is perfectly normal.
00:14:59Those are the Blackwood family rules. And your upbringing.
00:15:02You!
00:15:02Honey, you can't divorce me. Just think. After the divorce, what about Ethan?
00:15:09Do you want him to become a child without a mother?
00:15:14I don't want custody of Ethan anymore. I don't want any further connection.
00:15:17To the name, the Blackwood.
00:15:19And one more thing. If you catch someone cheating next time, don't bring the kid.
00:15:23Dad, if she wants money, just give it to her. It's not like we're broke.
00:15:28Shut up. Ellie, we've been married for ten years. Don't you have even a little bit of affection left for
00:15:33me?
00:15:34You said you wanted to see the Maldives.
00:15:36And the stars from a mountaintop.
00:15:38And what you told me about that diamond necklace the other day.
00:15:41I remember it all. I've just been so busy lately, under so much pressure, that I ignored your feelings.
00:15:46Give me one more chance, please.
00:15:48I promise, I will fulfill all our promises.
00:15:52Miss, I just contacted Santa Rosa Jewelry, and their masterpiece, The Tears of the Starry Sky, will be delivered to
00:15:58your room. In one hour.
00:15:59Also, I've booked your first class flight to the Maldives tomorrow.
00:16:02If you need, I can book the city's best observatory for you tonight.
00:16:06What?
00:16:08Tears of the Starry Sky?
00:16:09The one worth one billion dollars?
00:16:12Victor, see that? I don't need you anymore.
00:16:15When did you become so rich?
00:16:18Some other man must have given it to you, right?
00:16:21Ellie, how could you be so low and sell yourself for money?
00:16:24Victor, your narrow-mindedness is pathetic.
00:16:26Do you think everyone is like you?
00:16:28Needing to scheme.
00:16:30And cling to others.
00:16:31Just to survive?
00:16:33I'm tired and need to rest.
00:16:35Remember to send me the signed papers.
00:16:37Otherwise, I'll expose all your scandals to the world.
00:16:40And let the Blackwood family freeze God.
00:16:43Be completely ruined.
00:16:44Fine.
00:16:46Ellie.
00:16:47You win.
00:16:48Fine, we're divorcing.
00:16:49Just don't come crying when you find you can't survive.
00:16:52Without me and the Blackwood family.
00:16:54Sebastian.
00:16:55Show them out.
00:16:56This way, everyone.
00:17:00Congratulations, you've dumped the jerk and divorced successfully.
00:17:03Your identity as a business tycoon is now awakened.
00:17:05The system will also grant you a world-class investment firm.
00:17:08You may name it yourself.
00:17:10The dark past is gone.
00:17:12And the future is bright.
00:17:14Let's call it Dawn Capital.
00:17:17How did Ellie suddenly become so rich?
00:17:20She even knows people from Herbert Law Firm.
00:17:22And that man beside her.
00:17:23Is it possible that she really has a background we don't know about?
00:17:27Impossible.
00:17:28I've known her since college.
00:17:29She's just a penniless orphan who lived on financial aid.
00:17:32She barely has any friends.
00:17:33Do you think she's getting involved with some old guy behind him?
00:17:36Sophie, you're right.
00:17:38Sophie, what I just said, was all for the sake of the assets.
00:17:43Don't take it personally.
00:17:44Oh, I know.
00:17:45But do you really plan to leave with nothing?
00:17:48That would be too easy on her, wouldn't it?
00:17:50Don't worry.
00:17:51The Blackwood family assets are all under my mother's name.
00:17:54Besides, I'm working on a massive project lately.
00:17:56If I land this project, the little money Ellie took won't mean a thing.
00:18:04Sebastian, cancel my flight to the Maldives.
00:18:06Miss, aren't you going?
00:18:07I have more important things to take care of now.
00:18:09Give me the analysis report on Hesper Technology.
00:18:13Hesper Technology.
00:18:15Victor, is this the project you're so desperate for?
00:18:18Soon, it will be mine.
00:18:23Dad, where's my model?
00:18:25I have a competition today.
00:18:27Arg, how should I know?
00:18:28Stop shouting.
00:18:29I have a project to discuss today.
00:18:31And my suit hasn't even been ironed.
00:18:32Victor, where is my blood pressure medicine?
00:18:35Mom, can you help me iron my suit?
00:18:37I don't know how.
00:18:38I wish my mom was here.
00:18:47Ellie?
00:18:49What are you doing here?
00:18:50Looking for a job?
00:18:51It seems that your new man isn't all that.
00:18:54Well, left the Blackwood family.
00:18:56And now you regret it, right?
00:18:58Regret it?
00:18:59Like I said, it's never too late to admit you were wrong.
00:19:02Since we were married, I still have a place for you in my heart.
00:19:05If you regret leaving, just come home.
00:19:07I do miss your cooking.
00:19:09I do regret it.
00:19:10Regret not seeing your true face sooner.
00:19:12To think I shared a bed with someone like you for 18 years.
00:19:15Stop acting so high and mighty.
00:19:17Think you're some business elite.
00:19:19Just because you changed into decent clothes?
00:19:21Let me tell you.
00:19:22This company is about to go bankrupt.
00:19:24It'll be gone in a few days.
00:19:26Oh?
00:19:27Then why are you here?
00:19:29Could it be that you want to exploit their crisis to kick them while they're down and
00:19:33steal all the profit?
00:19:34How does she know?
00:19:36What do you know?
00:19:37I'm here with life-saving money.
00:19:40I am their savior.
00:19:42If you really want to work here, you'd better bag me.
00:19:46Deciding whether an employee stays or goes.
00:19:48Only takes one word from me.
00:19:52Oh, you're both here so early.
00:19:54This is?
00:19:55She was the class monitor of Victor and me in college.
00:19:57I didn't expect that Hesper Technology was actually her company.
00:20:01Echo, what are you doing here?
00:20:03Hesper Technology belongs to my brother.
00:20:05I know.
00:20:06Since it's both of you here today, I specifically told my brother that I'd handle the meeting.
00:20:11We're old friends.
00:20:12Why not catch up a bit?
00:20:14Ellie, you've changed so much.
00:20:16You look beautiful.
00:20:16I almost didn't recognize you.
00:20:19Wait, aren't you two married?
00:20:21Why are you representing two different companies?
00:20:24You must be mistaken.
00:20:25Ellie, the woman who married me right after graduation, that Ellie, has never had a job.
00:20:31Just a housewife.
00:20:32How could she represent a company?
00:20:33She probably heard you were here and came to ask for a favor.
00:20:36That's not right.
00:20:38Ellie is the representative from Dawn Capital here to negotiate for Miss Sterling.
00:20:42You didn't know?
00:20:43Echo, he and I are already divorced.
00:20:47Where did Dawn Capital even come from?
00:20:50I've never even heard of them.
00:20:51Looks like that new man of yours actually found you a job.
00:20:54But you go back and tell him, whatever it is, they're nothing to me.
00:20:59Winner takes all.
00:21:00We won't know until we get inside.
00:21:03It's about time.
00:21:05Echo, let's go in.
00:21:16Miss Chase, I suggest you just sign.
00:21:19In the whole Holabury, besides my company Victor, no other firm can come up with $30 million to invest in
00:21:24your brother's company.
00:21:25Them, they don't have that kind of money.
00:21:29Miss Sterling, what is Dawn Capital thinking?
00:21:32Representing Dawn Capital, I bid $100 million.
00:21:36What?
00:21:38$100 million.
00:21:39Ellie, you've lost it.
00:21:41For a company I've never even heard of.
00:21:43You dare to spout such nonsense here.
00:21:45$100 million?
00:21:47Acquire 49% of Hesper Technologies' shares.
00:21:50Dawn Capital won't manage daily operations, nor involve itself in Hesper Technologies' research.
00:21:55We will only send one accountant for oversight.
00:21:57Ellie, does Dawn Capital really mean that?
00:22:00The truth is, we are in a difficult spot right now.
00:22:04Otherwise, we wouldn't be considering being acquired.
00:22:07It's just a worthless check.
00:22:10Dawn Capital?
00:22:11I've never even heard of that company.
00:22:13It's definitely a shell company.
00:22:15$100 million.
00:22:17Can you even cough up $500,000?
00:22:21Echo, trust me and sign this.
00:22:24$30 million will be in your account within two hours.
00:22:29Echo, trust me.
00:22:30I guarantee you $100 million in Hesper Technologies' account within five minutes.
00:22:37Ellie, do you have any idea what you're saying?
00:22:40Echo, the world is full of scammers these days.
00:22:43Don't lose your sense of reality.
00:22:45Let's be honest.
00:22:46I don't have any faith in your brother's company.
00:22:48I'm only investing.
00:22:49For the sake of our school days.
00:22:51I'm fine with losing the money.
00:22:52You said the company is failing.
00:22:54If you need support, you need someone reliable who you can actually trust.
00:22:58Victor, do you really think Hesper Technology is just begging for scraps?
00:23:03Ellie, I'll sign.
00:23:06Fine.
00:23:07Have it your way.
00:23:08No point in saving someone determined to fail.
00:23:10Don't come crying to me when you realize you've been played.
00:23:15Ellie, I've signed the papers.
00:23:17In five minutes, will that $100 million really arrive?
00:23:24Sebastian, transfer $100 million to Hesper Technologies' account within five minutes.
00:23:29Come on, Ellie.
00:23:30Quit the act.
00:23:31$100 million in five minutes?
00:23:33In this world, only the richest man could do that.
00:23:37Three minutes left.
00:23:38Then we'll see who you really are.
00:23:43Final five seconds.
00:23:45Five.
00:23:47Four.
00:23:48Three.
00:23:49Two.
00:23:50One.
00:23:51Echo, is the money there.
00:23:54See anything yet?
00:23:55Ellie, this is...
00:23:59Five.
00:24:03Four.
00:24:05Three.
00:24:07Two.
00:24:09One.
00:24:10Dear user, $100 million has been credited to Hesper Technologies.
00:24:14Please check your account.
00:24:15It's here.
00:24:16The $100 million is here.
00:24:18It's really in the account.
00:24:20What?
00:24:21Impossible.
00:24:24Mr. Blackwood.
00:24:26I'm sorry.
00:24:27I forgot to mention.
00:24:27That fake watch from your mistress is 10 seconds slower than the real thing.
00:24:32What are you talking about?
00:24:34This is what Sophie specifically chose as my birthday gift.
00:24:37Well, the feelings between you and Ms. Blackwood are truly precious.
00:24:40Although the $30 million I offered was indeed a bit low, nonetheless, Hesper Technology could
00:24:45never be worth $100 million.
00:24:47Ellie, spending $100 million on a failing company.
00:24:49When you lose everything, let's see how you explain yourself.
00:24:52Victor, your vision is still as short-sighted as ever.
00:24:55You can't see all the hard work Echo put into it.
00:24:58You can't see the business value of Hesper Technology.
00:25:00And you definitely can't see the rebirth of an excellent team.
00:25:04Hello?
00:25:06What?
00:25:07Right?
00:25:07Okay.
00:25:08Ellie, my brother just told me that their AI algorithm has received dual certification
00:25:13from the International Association.
00:25:15And not only that, it's been featured as
00:25:17The lead story on tech headlines?
00:25:19This time, our share value really has increased tenfold.
00:25:22Ellie, I truly can't thank you enough for giving us such massive validation.
00:25:26Thank you.
00:25:27What?
00:25:28Increased tenfold?
00:25:29$100 million became $1 billion?
00:25:34Impossible.
00:25:35That's impossible.
00:25:37Echo, I'll be going now.
00:25:39Shortly, someone from Dawn Capital will follow up with you.
00:25:42Good doing business with you.
00:25:44Thank you.
00:25:50Mr. Blackwood?
00:25:52Right now, the one who's overwhelmed and scrambling for solutions
00:25:55is you, isn't it?
00:26:02No.
00:26:03No.
00:26:03I can't let this windfall just slip through my fingers.
00:26:06With a deal this big, a startup like Dawn Capital definitely can't handle it alone.
00:26:10As long as I partner with them, I can cover these losses and humiliate.
00:26:16Congratulations on completing the acquisition.
00:26:18The system is upgrading to version 2.
00:26:20Identity selection is now unlocked.
00:26:22You've earned one chance for a self-awakened identity.
00:26:24Victor, without your family around, my life will only get better and better.
00:26:36Ellie, thanks for your support this time.
00:26:38This Saturday night at 7, I'm having my birthday in a private room at Divine Hotel.
00:26:42You have to come.
00:26:43Everyone misses you, so please be there.
00:26:47Ellie, Ethan is crying.
00:26:48Don't you know that?
00:26:49Also, this knitted dress needs to be worn tomorrow.
00:26:52Iron it for me.
00:26:53I'm negotiating a major project.
00:26:54Where are the files?
00:26:55Help me find them.
00:26:57Ahem.
00:27:01Hello?
00:27:02Ellie, why aren't you here yet?
00:27:03We're all waiting for you.
00:27:04I'm sorry.
00:27:05The house is a mess right now.
00:27:06I can't get away.
00:27:07You're always like this.
00:27:08Whatever.
00:27:09Next time, then.
00:27:19I'll be there on time this Saturday.
00:27:25Family kept me tied down, making me lose all social life.
00:27:30It's time to get it back.
00:27:37The Kaiseki Cuisine at Divine Hotel, I've spoken with their head chef.
00:27:41He told me that dining isn't just about filling your stomach.
00:27:44It's a reflection of taste and status.
00:27:47He makes a very good point.
00:27:49Victor, you're amazing.
00:27:50Every time I eat with you, I learn so much.
00:27:54Look at this fatty tuna.
00:27:56Clearly, it was flown in from Kashima.
00:27:59The fat content is absolutely perfect.
00:28:05Here, Sophie.
00:28:07Give it a try.
00:28:08Thank you, Victor.
00:28:12Mr. Blackwood certainly is quite the expert.
00:28:14Ellie, you finally made it.
00:28:16I messaged you this time, but I thought you wouldn't show.
00:28:19The last few times, you said you had family business.
00:28:22I was busy with family before, but now I feel that my own matters are more important.
00:28:26Echo, happy birthday.
00:28:28Thank you.
00:28:33About that incident with Hesper Technology, Victor specifically found my brother to apologize to him.
00:28:38Him showing up uninvited was probably my brother's idea.
00:28:42Victor specifically found my brother to apologize to him.
00:28:45Him showing up uninvited was probably my brother's idea.
00:28:49It honestly grosses me out.
00:28:51It's fine.
00:28:52Ellie, long time no see.
00:28:56Echo, Ellie hasn't really been out much, and she doesn't know how the world works.
00:29:00If she does something wrong, please be patient with her.
00:29:05Victor!
00:29:07Who is responsible for my lack of experience all these years?
00:29:11Do you need me to help refresh your memory?
00:29:13In front of all our old classmates?
00:29:20Mom, where are you guys going?
00:29:22To a jewelry gala.
00:29:25Can I come along?
00:29:27I haven't been out in a long time.
00:29:29The event uses a guest list.
00:29:31You can't get in without an invitation.
00:29:33Exactly.
00:29:33Mom's right.
00:29:34The jewelry company only provided one plus one spot.
00:29:37I'm taking Ethan to see the world, right?
00:29:39Yeah.
00:29:40Many of my classmates will be there.
00:29:42Once we're there, I'll have plenty to talk about with them.
00:29:45Fine.
00:29:46You guys go ahead.
00:29:47I'll wait for you at home.
00:29:49You shouldn't always try to force your way into things.
00:29:51You'll just end up making a fool of yourself.
00:29:53By the way, my silk dress.
00:29:54Remember to hand wash it for me.
00:29:55Let's go.
00:30:01Ellie, are you blaming me?
00:30:03Look around at everyone here who doesn't balance family and career.
00:30:08Echo runs her own tea house and is a tea master.
00:30:12Sophie is also a top performer at my company.
00:30:16At the end of the day, it's because you have no ambition and no worldliness.
00:30:22He's right, Ellie.
00:30:24Ellie, look at everyone while taking care of their families.
00:30:27They also cultivate elegant hobbies.
00:30:29Shouldn't you look at yourself to find the reason?
00:30:31Aside from your own family, it seems you spend all your effort taking care of someone else's husband.
00:30:37You.
00:30:38Ellie, after our divorce, aside from spending money and being sharp-tongued, I don't see any improvement.
00:30:44That surely can't be my fault.
00:30:46System, awaken my identity, master tea artist.
00:30:50Confirmed.
00:30:50Your status is now awakened as a master tea artist.
00:30:57Monitor, since it's your birthday.
00:30:59And I see a tea set there.
00:31:00Let me make use of it for you.
00:31:02And to all my old classmates, I'll whisk some tea as a token of my heart to make up for
00:31:06all these years that I haven't joined our school reunions.
00:31:09Whisking tea?
00:31:10You know how to do that?
00:31:12Tea whisking?
00:31:14Which goes first, the leaves or the water?
00:31:16Can you even tell them apart?
00:31:18Yeah, Ellie, don't go burning your hands now.
00:31:21Besides, if you break such an expensive tea set, how will you ever pay for it, right, Victor?
00:31:33Seven whisking's method.
00:31:38Preparing the paste.
00:31:44Whiskking.
00:31:46The temperature, volume, strength, and rhythm must be perfect.
00:31:56How has she changed so much?
00:31:58She's practically glowing, and she's even more beautiful, confident, and charming than before.
00:32:22It is done.
00:32:27Ellie, is this just a crash course technique?
00:32:29I saw some blogger teaching this lately.
00:32:31But honestly, echo is the pro, so don't try to show off.
00:32:35Am I right, Victor?
00:32:39When did you learn all this?
00:32:42Ellie?
00:32:42Was that the legendary, long-lost performance of Edelweiss technique?
00:32:48Ellie?
00:32:48Was that performance the long-lost Edelweiss technique?
00:32:52I've looked for this method for ten years, but never found it.
00:32:56I can't believe you know it.
00:32:57It's just brewing tea, isn't it?
00:32:59Making it such a mystery.
00:33:01Ellie?
00:33:02Why not let us have a taste?
00:33:06Try it.
00:33:15So rich and fragrant, the tea's aroma is fully released, and there's even a hint of milkiness.
00:33:23Ellie, where did you learn this?
00:33:25Is it really that amazing?
00:33:26It's just some extra foam, like latte art.
00:33:29What do you know?
00:33:30This is a top-tier tea technique.
00:33:33From the strength to the technique, it's extremely demanding.
00:33:36Ellie, where did you learn it?
00:33:38I've studied this for over ten years and never once succeeded.
00:33:42Just a fluke.
00:33:44Ellie, wait, no.
00:33:46Master Sterling, I am currently the president of the Tea Culture Association.
00:33:51Recently, I've been participating in an international tea culture exhibition.
00:33:54I want to invite you to be our judge and a guest performer.
00:33:57I'll offer you an annual salary of $1 million.
00:34:00No, $2 million.
00:34:02Will you do it?
00:34:03Tea culture is truly the essence of our tradition.
00:34:06I can perform for you for free.
00:34:08Just consider it my own contribution to preserving our culture.
00:34:12$2 million.
00:34:13Just to brew some tea.
00:34:15She's worth $2 million.
00:34:28Darn it.
00:34:29All of Victor's attention is on her now.
00:34:31I need to find a way.
00:34:33I can't let her steal the spotlight.
00:34:39Ellie, I remember.
00:34:41This was your favorite.
00:34:42Here, have some more.
00:34:47I'll help myself to things I like.
00:34:56Be careful.
00:34:57I'm sorry.
00:34:58So sorry.
00:34:59Victor gave me this.
00:35:01A limited edition from V.
00:35:02Thankfully, it isn't ruined.
00:35:05Ellie, you've been with Victor for years.
00:35:07Find things like this.
00:35:09You must have many, right?
00:35:09Wipe it off.
00:35:12Be more careful next time.
00:35:14You can go.
00:35:15You are way too kind.
00:35:18Clumsy servers like this need to be taught a lesson.
00:35:22If they splash clothes like yours, it's no big deal.
00:35:25But if she ruins something more expensive, she won't be able to pay it back in her entire life.
00:35:31I'm doing this for her own good.
00:35:34Ellie.
00:35:35Oh, right.
00:35:36While watching you make tea, I noticed your outfit.
00:35:39Is this from the Evian Pavilion Haute Couture Heritage Series?
00:35:43I heard this brand isn't open to the public.
00:35:45Only custom orders.
00:35:47Any single piece costs over $1 million?
00:35:49$1 million for one outfit?
00:35:51I'm not quite sure.
00:35:53Any single piece costs over $1 million?
00:35:55$1 million for one outfit?
00:35:58I'm not quite sure.
00:35:59A friend gave it to me.
00:36:01Ellie, I didn't expect that after your divorce, you'd be so different than before.
00:36:05Not only is your career thriving, but even your friends casually give you clothes worth over a million dollars.
00:36:11Back then, making you stay home as a housewife to look after the kids truly did you a great injustice.
00:36:17If I were your husband, I would cherish you like a treasure.
00:36:24Sophie is ultimately too young, so petty and narrow-minded, simply lack class.
00:36:29Why didn't I realize before that Ellie had a side like this?
00:36:32No, I have to go ask her and clear this up.
00:36:38Sophie, it seems I forgot my phone.
00:36:40I'll go grab it.
00:36:41Wait for me in the car.
00:36:42Alright?
00:36:44Victor, you aren't trying to find Ellie, are you?
00:36:47No, what nonsense are you talking?
00:36:49You're...
00:36:49The way you looked at her at the table was clearly off, and you even spoke up for her.
00:36:55Sophie, can you just stop making a scene?
00:36:58I'm busy with work all day, and then I have to baby you at night.
00:37:02I don't expect you to be like Ellie, running my household, but can't you show me a little understanding?
00:37:17Honey, I want to talk to you.
00:37:18Victor, I have nothing to say to you.
00:37:21Besides, we're already divorced.
00:37:23In the future, please call me.
00:37:25Miss Sterling.
00:37:27Ellie, can you stop using that tone with me?
00:37:29Can we please just talk properly?
00:37:31Watching you perform the tea ceremony just now, I suddenly realized...
00:37:34...that I never truly knew who you were.
00:37:37Oh?
00:37:38So now you don't think that I'm just some uncultured woman?
00:37:41Come on, Ellie.
00:37:43I was just worried you'd mess up.
00:37:45So I went to check in with Echo.
00:37:47Thanks for the offer.
00:37:48But no thanks.
00:37:50Ellie, can you give me a chance to get to know you all over again?
00:37:55Eighteen years.
00:37:56And that wasn't enough for you to truly know the woman in your bed?
00:37:59Oh, that's right.
00:38:01You had two women in your bed.
00:38:03Ellie, please trust me one more time.
00:38:05Besides, my career is seeing a new breakthrough.
00:38:08I've already submitted a partnership application to Dawn Capital.
00:38:11Once that's approved, with my skills and the company's resources, the deal is practically a sure thing.
00:38:17A partnership with Dawn Capital?
00:38:19You.
00:38:20Of course.
00:38:21That last time with Hesper Technology was just a mistake.
00:38:24With my years of experience in finance, my resources and strength are solid.
00:38:29Dawn Capital has no reason to reject me.
00:38:31Once the deal is done, I'll appoint you as the lead contact.
00:38:34By then, your life will be easy and dignified.
00:38:38And...
00:38:38You'll earn a great income, and we can see each other often.
00:38:42Victor.
00:38:43Your self-importance has stayed exactly the same for ten years.
00:38:46It's never changed.
00:38:48What do you mean?
00:38:49I mean, Dawn Capital will never collaborate with you in this lifetime.
00:38:54Ellie.
00:38:56Don't think just because I'm being nice now.
00:38:58You can push your luck.
00:38:59You don't call the shots at Dawn Capital.
00:39:02Sorry to burst your bubble, but I do call the shots at Dawn Capital.
00:39:07I, Ellie Sterling, am the sole owner and chairwoman of Dawn Capital.
00:39:13Ellie, I admit, you're different now.
00:39:15But to save face in front of me, you're claiming to be the heiress of the Sterling family?
00:39:19Huh.
00:39:20You actually had the nerve.
00:39:21To tell such a massive lie.
00:39:23If you're the chairwoman of Dawn Capital, then I'm the long-lost heiress of the Sterling family.
00:39:27The long-lost heiress of the Sterling family is also me.
00:39:31Hmm.
00:39:31I think you've really gone mad.
00:39:33I thought you had changed.
00:39:35But you've just turned into a total psycho.
00:39:38Ha ha ha.
00:39:46Hello?
00:39:46Is our partnership with Dawn Capital approved?
00:39:49Hello, Mr. Victor.
00:39:50I am the CEO of Dawn Capital.
00:39:52This is to formally notify you that your proposal has been rejected.
00:39:55As of today, Dawn Capital will no longer consider partnering with you.
00:40:00Whoa, what?
00:40:01No, impossible.
00:40:02Wait, wait.
00:40:03Did...
00:40:03Did you make a mistake?
00:40:05You must have made a mistake.
00:40:07Victor, I actually admire you for one thing.
00:40:10Your persistence.
00:40:12Persistently arrogant, despite your mediocrity.
00:40:16Hmm.
00:40:16Ellie.
00:40:17I was rejected by Dawn Capital.
00:40:19Simply because the plan didn't pass.
00:40:21But you being the heiress of the Sterling family, that's a total joke.
00:40:26Is it?
00:40:27Look over there.
00:40:32New business leader Miss Ellie states that Dawn Capital will keep focusing on tech innovation
00:40:37investment to boost local business growth.
00:40:43To boost local business growth.
00:40:52No, impossible.
00:40:53You're an orphan.
00:40:55A nameless, parentless orphan.
00:40:57This video is fake.
00:40:58It's AI generated.
00:41:00If you were the heiress of the Sterling family,
00:41:02how could you have been in the Blackwood family and endured for 18 years?
00:41:07So you do know I've been in the Blackwood family,
00:41:09putting up with you for 18 years.
00:41:11You finally stopped playing dumb.
00:41:13But I don't think I was enduring.
00:41:15I think I was just stupid.
00:41:17For one word of your so-called sincerity,
00:41:19I sacrificed my entire youth.
00:41:24The heiress of the Sterling family.
00:41:26No wonder you could mobilize.
00:41:28100 million dollars in five minutes.
00:41:30You kept this from me for 18 years.
00:41:33Oh, right.
00:41:34I forgot to tell you.
00:41:35The reason Dawn Capital has been growing so well
00:41:37is because of the Hesper technology project that you gave your full support,
00:41:41but news of your exploitation and bullying of partners
00:41:44has already been leaked.
00:41:46In the investment circles of Holabury,
00:41:48there will be no place for you to hide.
00:41:51Congrats on showing that scumbag who's boss.
00:41:53You've earned the right to awaken your identity.
00:41:59Ellie, don't you dare leave.
00:42:01Make yourself clear.
00:42:07Watch where you're going.
00:42:08Sophie, weren't you in the car?
00:42:10Why are you back?
00:42:12Victor!
00:42:13Save me!
00:42:15Please help me!
00:42:17He's coming!
00:42:18Hurry!
00:42:19Help me!
00:42:20Who?
00:42:21My ex-husband.
00:42:22Where is she?
00:42:24Sophie!
00:42:25Victor!
00:42:25Help me!
00:42:27Save me!
00:42:28Sophie!
00:42:29You witch!
00:42:30Trying to run away?
00:42:32Victor, I'm begging you to save me!
00:42:35Who are you?
00:42:37Thinking of poking your nose in my business?
00:42:39Miss, I don't know you.
00:42:40You have the wrong person.
00:42:42Victor, you?
00:42:46So, this is your new lover?
00:42:48He doesn't look like much.
00:42:53Look, sir.
00:42:54I don't even know her.
00:42:55But what are you doing?
00:42:56Don't disturb the peace, okay?
00:43:01Victor!
00:43:03We were together for five years.
00:43:05Now you're saying you don't know me?
00:43:06You're just gonna let him beat me?
00:43:08What are you talking about?
00:43:10I have no idea who you are.
00:43:12Hey, just take her away.
00:43:13Go home and have your argument.
00:43:15Just don't make a scene here.
00:43:17Did you hear that?
00:43:18He won't even acknowledge you.
00:43:20Come home with me.
00:43:21I'll teach you a lesson later.
00:43:23Victor, you can't let me go back.
00:43:25I'm begging you.
00:43:26Call 911.
00:43:29Shut up!
00:43:30If you say another word, I'll ruin you.
00:43:33I work so hard to support this family while you're out here messing around.
00:43:37You think you can take my money and run?
00:43:39No way.
00:43:44Sir, I'm disciplining my wife?
00:43:46You got a problem with that?
00:43:48Oh, no problem at all.
00:43:49Women need to be kept in line.
00:43:51Look at my ex-wife.
00:43:52She was so spoiled by me.
00:43:54She got out of hand and insisted on a divorce.
00:43:58Well said.
00:44:00Women, if you don't keep them in check, they run wild.
00:44:04You're nice to them, and they think you're a pushover.
00:44:07All right.
00:44:08All right.
00:44:08Enough.
00:44:09Just take her away already.
00:44:11Even if she did something wrong, don't wash your dirty laundry in public.
00:44:15Take her back and discipline her.
00:44:16Just don't do it out here.
00:44:18Victor, you can't do this to me.
00:44:22Move.
00:44:23Shut your mouth.
00:44:24Now get back home like a good girl.
00:44:26I won't.
00:44:28Let's go.
00:44:29Stop right there.
00:44:31Who the heck are you?
00:44:32Trying to mind my business?
00:44:34Keep it up, and I'll hit you too.
00:44:35I said stop it.
00:44:38Ellie, save me.
00:44:40What are you doing?
00:44:41Ellie, this is none of our business.
00:44:43Exactly.
00:44:44What's it to you?
00:44:45I saw it, so it's my business.
00:44:47So what if I'm teaching my woman a lesson?
00:44:49Even the law can't stop me.
00:44:52Ellie, Sophie is not like you.
00:44:53She's used to being loose.
00:44:55She asked for this.
00:44:56Don't get yourself dirty.
00:44:58Victor, you truly sicken me.
00:45:01What did you say?
00:45:02I said, you can't own up to your actions.
00:45:06You're heartless.
00:45:07And standing there with that scum makes me feel truly disgusted.
00:45:10Who are you calling scum?
00:45:12You witch!
00:45:13Stay out of my business!
00:45:14The system.
00:45:15Awaken my identity as a top fighter.
00:45:17Understood.
00:45:18Awakening complete.
00:45:22You.
00:45:23You.
00:45:23You.
00:45:24You.
00:45:25Your turn.
00:45:29Ellie, are you crazy?
00:45:31Why are you hitting me?
00:45:33Because from head to toe, you don't even deserve to be human.
00:45:36Ah.
00:45:37Doesn't the Blackwood family love controlling others?
00:45:39The taste of being controlled.
00:45:41Is it nice?
00:45:42It hurts.
00:45:43It hurts.
00:45:47Thank you, Ellie.
00:45:49Thank you for saving me.
00:45:50I was wrong.
00:45:51I shouldn't have treated you like that.
00:45:53Do you want to get rid of this person for good?
00:45:55The court granted our divorce long ago.
00:45:57But he keeps harassing me.
00:45:59And hitting me whenever he finds me.
00:46:01Stay here for the next few days.
00:46:03I'll have the hotel tighten security.
00:46:05Tomorrow, Herbit Law Firm's lawyer will come to see you.
00:46:08To help you apply for a protection order.
00:46:09And handle the remaining legal issues.
00:46:11Ellie, after everything I did to you,
00:46:13Why are you helping me?
00:46:15I'm helping you because I can't stand seeing any woman being treated this way.
00:46:19After this, you can keep relying on men.
00:46:21Or you can choose to stand on your own feet.
00:46:24The choice is yours.
00:46:26I am so sorry for before.
00:46:27I thought if I found another man, I could escape his grasp.
00:46:31If you truly want a fresh start,
00:46:33Why not come to Dawn Capital?
00:46:35Women's Support Fund to help me.
00:46:37Dawn Capital?
00:46:38Women?
00:46:39Support Fund?
00:46:40Yes.
00:46:41It's a foundation for women who suffer violence,
00:46:44Oppression,
00:46:45And unequal treatment.
00:46:47The foundation.
00:46:49This way, you can not only
00:46:50Get away from that abusive man,
00:46:53But also start your new life.
00:46:55You won't need to depend on anyone.
00:46:57Are you willing?
00:46:59I am...
00:47:00I am...
00:47:02I am...
00:47:02Ellie.
00:47:03I'll turn my life around and help you run the foundation.
00:47:06I'm in.
00:47:13Ellie,
00:47:14Ethan has been running a high fever,
00:47:16Saying they miss mommy.
00:47:17Come home for a meal and see Ethan, okay?
00:47:20Sure enough.
00:47:21There is no escaping what's meant to be.
00:47:23This Ellie must practice a lot.
00:47:32Ow, ow, ow.
00:47:34It hurts.
00:47:34Mom, take it easy.
00:47:37Ow, ow, ow.
00:47:39It hurts.
00:47:40Mom, take it easy.
00:47:43Ah.
00:47:44Now you know the pain?
00:47:45Where was this earlier?
00:47:46Ellie is the heiress of Sterling Group.
00:47:48The daughter of Sterling Group.
00:47:50Listen to this.
00:47:51Who would believe it?
00:47:52We, the Blackwood family,
00:47:54Took such a prominent figure
00:47:56And used her as a nanny
00:47:57For 18 years.
00:47:59How was I to know?
00:48:00She kept it a total secret.
00:48:02Her file back then was clean.
00:48:03She was just an orphan.
00:48:05Who knew she was?
00:48:06The successor of the Sterling family.
00:48:08An elite family.
00:48:09The Sterling family is the kind that can shake all of Holabry
00:48:12Just by stomping their feet.
00:48:13Although our family is rich,
00:48:16Wealth and true status
00:48:17Are ultimately not in the same league.
00:48:21No wonder she could mobilize Herbit Law Firm
00:48:23And pull out $100 million so easily.
00:48:25Dawn Capital.
00:48:26It was hers all along.
00:48:27And I was begging for a partnership.
00:48:29Acting like a total clown.
00:48:31What's the use of saying this now?
00:48:32You took a beating.
00:48:33You've been humiliated.
00:48:35And the marriage is over.
00:48:37The point is,
00:48:38What do we do next?
00:48:39You took the beating.
00:48:40Lost your dignity.
00:48:42And got a divorce.
00:48:43The key is,
00:48:45What happens now?
00:48:47What do you mean?
00:48:48Idiot.
00:48:49What do you mean?
00:48:49Who exactly is Ellie?
00:48:51She is the Sterling family's daughter.
00:48:54The chairwoman of Dawn Capital.
00:48:56But more importantly,
00:48:57She's Ethan's mother.
00:48:59But after what happened,
00:49:00She hates me now.
00:49:03Hate?
00:49:04Hate means she still cares.
00:49:06If she's emotional,
00:49:08We have a chance.
00:49:09No matter how rich.
00:49:10Or successful.
00:49:12She's still a woman.
00:49:13She's Ethan's mom.
00:49:15In this world,
00:49:17No woman would ever abandon her own child.
00:49:20I messaged her last night,
00:49:22Saying Ethan had a high fever.
00:49:24And kept crying for her.
00:49:26She replied,
00:49:28Even though it was just noted,
00:49:30She didn't say no.
00:49:31As long as she loves Ethan,
00:49:33We have a chance
00:49:34To pull her back.
00:49:36Will she really come?
00:49:37She might not believe us.
00:49:39She doesn't have a choice.
00:49:40Mother and child share a bond.
00:49:42It's instinct.
00:49:43She will come back.
00:49:45Once she steps through that door,
00:49:48My son,
00:49:49Hide your resentment and your grievances.
00:49:51From now on,
00:49:53We're acting in a drama.
00:49:54Of a reformed son.
00:49:56A regretful mother.
00:49:58And a reunion.
00:49:59Begging for her return.
00:50:01Ellie,
00:50:02You still couldn't.
00:50:03Escape my grasp.
00:50:04Once I talk her back,
00:50:05Everything of the Sterling family,
00:50:07Everything of Dawn Capital,
00:50:08Will eventually be mine.
00:50:12Ethan,
00:50:12Come here.
00:50:14Grandma,
00:50:14What is it?
00:50:15I'm doing homework.
00:50:16We have business to discuss.
00:50:18What is it?
00:50:21In a moment,
00:50:22Send your mom a voice note.
00:50:23Say you have a fever and miss her.
00:50:25Then ask her to come visit you.
00:50:26Grandma,
00:50:27I don't want to lie to mom anymore.
00:50:28She was angry last time.
00:50:30Just send it when you're told.
00:50:31Don't talk back.
00:50:33I won't.
00:50:34Ethan,
00:50:35Grandma knows.
00:50:36You're a good boy.
00:50:38Who doesn't want to lie to mom.
00:50:40However,
00:50:40This isn't lying.
00:50:41It's a strategy.
00:50:43Think about it.
00:50:44When mom comes back,
00:50:46We'll be one happy family.
00:50:47How wonderful.
00:50:49Unless,
00:50:49You don't want mom back?
00:50:51Aye.
00:50:52I do want her back.
00:50:54Then listen to me.
00:50:57Just use that.
00:50:59Sick
00:51:00And weak-sounding voice.
00:51:05Hmm.
00:51:06Mom.
00:51:07I'm sick.
00:51:08Can you come back to see me?
00:51:10I miss you so much.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:16All right.
00:51:17Go lie on the sofa.
00:51:19And make it look real.
00:51:20When your mom comes,
00:51:21Talk to her first.
00:51:22And be more affectionate, okay?
00:51:28I'm going to get changed.
00:51:30Just remember,
00:51:31When she arrives later,
00:51:32You must sound sincere.
00:51:34If her heart softens,
00:51:35We'll have our chance.
00:51:38Ellie,
00:51:38I won't let you go this time.
00:51:40Everything you have should be mine.
00:51:48Hey,
00:51:49Ellie.
00:51:50You actually came.
00:51:51Come in.
00:51:52Come in.
00:51:52Where is Ethan?
00:51:54He's lying on the sofa.
00:51:55He just took his medicine,
00:51:56And keeps calling for you.
00:51:58Oh dear.
00:52:07As expected,
00:52:08Another lie.
00:52:09Ellie is here?
00:52:10It's cold out there, isn't it?
00:52:12Quickly.
00:52:12Sit down.
00:52:14Mom,
00:52:15I made many of your favorite dishes.
00:52:17In this lifetime,
00:52:19Seeing you cook a meal
00:52:20Is truly a rarity.
00:52:21Well,
00:52:22Since you rarely come home,
00:52:24And Ethan is sick and needs nutrition,
00:52:27This is my small gesture.
00:52:29Mom.
00:52:30Ethan,
00:52:31Didn't you say
00:52:31You wanted your mom to stay for dinner?
00:52:34Tell her not to leave.
00:52:35Mom,
00:52:36Can you have a meal with me?
00:52:37Just one meal.
00:52:38As a complete break from the past.
00:52:42Fine.
00:52:46Ellie,
00:52:47Have some fish.
00:52:48It's steamed.
00:52:50The dish you used to love most.
00:52:55Seeing the four of us,
00:52:56Eating together again,
00:52:58Makes my heart feel so warm and fuzzy.
00:53:00Ellie,
00:53:01Do you remember?
00:53:02On Ethan's birthday two years ago,
00:53:03At this very table,
00:53:05You made such a huge cake.
00:53:07Ethan was so happy eating it.
00:53:08I remember,
00:53:10I made that cake by hand,
00:53:11But you took one bite and said it was too sweet,
00:53:14And bad for Ethan's teeth.
00:53:15It ended up in the trash.
00:53:17Everything was my fault before.
00:53:19I was too arrogant,
00:53:20And never appreciated your efforts.
00:53:22I know I was wrong.
00:53:24For eighteen years,
00:53:25I was a fool.
00:53:26My vision was clouded,
00:53:28To throw away such a great wife,
00:53:29And a perfect home.
00:53:30Every night,
00:53:31I'm too full of regret to sleep.
00:53:34Yes,
00:53:34Exactly, Ellie.
00:53:36It was all mine and Victor's fault.
00:53:37You're a good girl.
00:53:39It was our,
00:53:39The Blackwood family,
00:53:40Who didn't deserve you.
00:53:41So,
00:53:42This dinner today,
00:53:43Is just to tell me,
00:53:45Of that you've realized your mistakes?
00:53:46Yes, that's right.
00:53:48Confession is the first step to making it right.
00:53:50Look at you now.
00:53:51Running such a big family alone,
00:53:53Plus Dawn Capital.
00:53:54It must be so exhausting.
00:53:56Confession is the first step to making it right.
00:53:58Look at you now.
00:53:59Running such a big family alone,
00:54:01Plus Dawn Capital.
00:54:02It must be so exhausting.
00:54:04To not have a caring man by your side.
00:54:06How can you manage?
00:54:07Ellie, give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:54:09Let's remarry.
00:54:11I'll treat you with all my heart.
00:54:12I'll support your career,
00:54:14And take care of our home.
00:54:15Our family will live,
00:54:16Happily ever after.
00:54:18That's right.
00:54:18When it comes to marriage,
00:54:20Nothing beats the original couple.
00:54:21And now,
00:54:22Victor has woken up and realized his mistakes.
00:54:24From now on,
00:54:25You're the only one in my heart.
00:54:26I've truly repented,
00:54:28And won a fresh start.
00:54:35Victor?
00:54:36You're saying you knew.
00:54:38You were wrong back then, right?
00:54:40Yes.
00:54:41I was wrong.
00:54:42Then why didn't you change then?
00:54:44Why only now,
00:54:45After I became the heiress of Sterling Group,
00:54:47And the chairwoman of Dawn Capital.
00:54:49Do you have this epiphany?
00:54:50Do you sincerely want to be good to me?
00:54:52Or are you just interested?
00:54:54In the Sterling family behind me?
00:54:56Ellie,
00:54:57How can you think of Victor like that?
00:54:59He's truly realized his mistakes.
00:55:02No,
00:55:02They're lying to you.
00:55:04Mom,
00:55:05I'm not sick today.
00:55:06Grandma made me fake it,
00:55:07Just to trick you into coming back.
00:55:09I agreed to fake it.
00:55:10Just because I wanted you home.
00:55:12I thought once you were back,
00:55:14Our family could go back to the way it was.
00:55:16But I realize now,
00:55:17Dad and Grandma just want your money.
00:55:20You brat.
00:55:20What are you talking about?
00:55:22Yeah, Ellie, Ethan.
00:55:23He's just out of it from the fever.
00:55:24Don't listen to his nonsense.
00:55:26I don't have a fever,
00:55:27And I'm not confused.
00:55:30When I came here today,
00:55:32I still had a trace of ridiculous innocence left.
00:55:35I thought you might have a shred of conscience left.
00:55:39To give me an apology for everything you've done to me over the past 18 years.
00:55:44Now I see that.
00:55:46From start to finish,
00:55:47All you've done is scheme.
00:55:49Remarriage?
00:55:50So you can keep on bleeding me dry?
00:55:52Not in this lifetime.
00:55:56Ellie,
00:55:57Stop right there.
00:55:58Don't push your luck.
00:55:59You think just because you're the Sterling family heiress,
00:56:01That you're so special.
00:56:02Let me tell you,
00:56:03No matter how much money you have,
00:56:05Or how much power you hold,
00:56:06You're still just a divorced woman.
00:56:08Once you step out,
00:56:09People will still gossip about you.
00:56:10Incomplete?
00:56:12Margaret,
00:56:13You've lived this long.
00:56:14Don't you understand by now?
00:56:15A woman's wholeness never depends on a marriage,
00:56:18Nor does it depend on a man.
00:56:22My wholeness comes from
00:56:25Surviving the humiliation and the trampling you put me through,
00:56:28And crawling out of the mud on my own.
00:56:29As for you,
00:56:30Victor,
00:56:32Divorcing you is the best and luckiest decision I've ever made in my life.
00:56:35Ellie,
00:56:36Don't cross the line.
00:56:38Without me and the Blackwood family,
00:56:39Would you even be here today?
00:56:41This meal is over.
00:56:43From now on,
00:56:44Our paths are completely separate.
00:56:46Don't contact me ever again.
00:56:48Mom,
00:56:49Don't go.
00:56:50Don't leave me.
00:56:52Ellie,
00:56:53If you dare to walk out that door,
00:56:55I'll make sure you're ruined.
00:56:57So you're finally dropping the kind mother-in-law act.
00:56:59Are you finally showing your true colors?
00:57:02Grandma,
00:57:02What are you doing?
00:57:04Didn't you promise me that you would let mom stay?
00:57:06I'm actually curious to see
00:57:07How exactly you're going to ruin my reputation.
00:57:10Ethan,
00:57:11Go upstairs.
00:57:13Your grandma,
00:57:14Father,
00:57:14And I have things to discuss.
00:57:16Mom.
00:57:17Go.
00:57:23Fine.
00:57:24Fine.
00:57:25Fine.
00:57:25Ellie,
00:57:26You brought this on yourself.
00:57:28I'll show you the power of public opinion.
00:57:30I'll show you how you'll go from a glamorous rich lady to a rat that everyone wants to hit.
00:57:38Mom,
00:57:39If we do this,
00:57:40Is it taking things too far?
00:57:41Don't be a coward.
00:57:43She's being stubborn now.
00:57:44But once we drag her name through the mud and make her unwelcome in the Sterling family,
00:57:48We'll have our chance.
00:57:50Don't forget,
00:57:51If she falls,
00:57:53Ethan will be the sole heir.
00:58:00Listen, everyone.
00:58:02I can't go on like this.
00:58:03Please,
00:58:04Come and see.
00:58:04Look at this poor old woman.
00:58:06And my son.
00:58:08We were beaten like this by my heartless former daughter-in-law, Ellie.
00:58:12She had an affair during the marriage,
00:58:15And wanted a divorce.
00:58:16Divorce is one thing,
00:58:18But she used underhanded tactics to make my son leave with nothing.
00:58:22Not a single cent left to his name.
00:58:25She even tried to get out of paying child support.
00:58:28Mom, stop it.
00:58:30I'm just useless.
00:58:31I couldn't keep her.
00:58:33But that's not all.
00:58:34She came back today.
00:58:36And I made a nice meal.
00:58:38Thinking of the child.
00:58:40And wanting to talk things through.
00:58:42But what did she do?
00:58:45She started humiliating us right away.
00:58:48You all be the judge.
00:58:50That's right.
00:58:51How is this fair?
00:58:52Gosh, is this real?
00:58:53Beating a man.
00:58:54You never really know a person.
00:58:56People turn bad when they get rich.
00:58:57Cheaters deserve the worst.
00:59:00So you like acting?
00:59:02You like using public opinion to bully people?
00:59:05Margaret,
00:59:06Today, I'll use your favorite method to teach you a lesson.
00:59:10System.
00:59:11Awaken my movie queen identity.
00:59:14Look, everyone.
00:59:15Take a look.
00:59:17She's actually glaring at us.
00:59:30Mom, you...
00:59:32You know full well.
00:59:34You know that's not how it is.
00:59:48This.
00:59:50This is from Victor and my marriage.
00:59:53A medical report from the hospital.
00:59:55The doctor said.
00:59:58That due to long-term neglect and mental pressure.
01:00:01This is a psychologist's report.
01:00:03He told me to get out of this toxic environment.
01:00:06And seek professional help.
01:00:14They're my ex-husband and mother-in-law.
01:00:17For the past 18 years of my marriage,
01:00:20they treated me like a free maid and servant.
01:00:24I worked like a slave for them.
01:00:26Caring for their entire family.
01:00:28Without getting a single penny.
01:00:31My husband had an affair during our marriage.
01:00:34With his assistant, Sophie.
01:00:37He maintained a secret affair for many years.
01:00:40Today, they lied, saying my child was ill.
01:00:44Just to lure me back,
01:00:46I thought they had truly repented.
01:00:48But the truth...
01:00:51They wanted to trick me into remarrying.
01:00:54Trying to keep me under their thumb
01:00:55and drain me of every last drop of life.
01:00:58My God.
01:00:58It's a diagnosis report.
01:01:00From six months ago.
01:01:01This is terrifying.
01:01:02Years of gaslighting and emotional neglect.
01:01:05Cheaters deserve nothing.
01:01:06She's so strong.
01:01:08My heart breaks seeing her tears.
01:01:11Don't let her trick you.
01:01:13She's just a great actress.
01:01:14I know right now none of you believe me.
01:01:16So I'll just show you something real.
01:01:32I am Margaret.
01:01:33The mother of Blackwood Group's CEO.
01:01:36You can check for yourselves
01:01:37how much charity I've done
01:01:38and how much money I've donated.
01:01:40Would a person like me wrongfully accuse a junior?
01:01:43Blackwood Group?
01:01:44Isn't that company nearly bankrupt?
01:01:45The photos seem real.
01:01:47I've seen reports on that nursing home.
01:01:49Family matters are complicated.
01:01:51Let's just see how this plays out.
01:01:53Ellie, do you think shedding some tears
01:01:55and telling a few lies will blind everyone?
01:01:58Let me tell you.
01:01:59Evil cannot prevail.
01:02:01The people see everything clearly.
01:02:04Ellie's deceptive tricks.
01:02:06Against your charity work and the facts
01:02:08are totally fragile.
01:02:10Exactly.
01:02:11Exactly.
01:02:12Exactly.
01:02:17Honorary president, charity projects.
01:02:20Margaret, you won't give up until it's too late.
01:02:25Since you want to see who has the better cards
01:02:27and whose facts are real,
01:02:29fine, I'll grant your wish.
01:02:32System, awaken my elite hacker identity.
01:02:35What are you doing?
01:02:36To everyone watching the stream,
01:02:38since she just mentioned charity projects
01:02:41and charitable deeds,
01:02:43then I must give you the real truth about this president
01:02:46so everyone can see what really lies behind the charity,
01:02:49all the filthy lies hidden there.
01:02:55Now is the time.
01:02:58The staged videos from the nursing home.
01:03:00How were they released?
01:03:01And how are their records of me embezzling
01:03:03charity funds to buy jewelry?
01:03:05What?
01:03:06How was their footage of me with those women?
01:03:09Ellie.
01:03:10You did this again.
01:03:10The only way to keep a secret is to not do it.
01:03:13It's a setup.
01:03:14This is definitely a setup.
01:03:16Total frame up.
01:03:17So you are saying
01:03:18that a woman nearly 40
01:03:21who has been a nanny-like housewife half her life
01:03:23could gather all this evidence in such a short time
01:03:26and then secretly
01:03:27upload it to the phone you are currently live streaming on?
01:03:30Whoa.
01:03:31This scandal is definitely real.
01:03:33Is this how charity is done?
01:03:35Disgusting.
01:03:35Cheater.
01:03:36Leech.
01:03:36Scum.
01:03:37Call 911 and arrest them.
01:03:39Open up.
01:03:40Margaret.
01:03:41Victor.
01:03:41Please cooperate with our investigation.
01:03:44What do we do?
01:03:44Turn it off.
01:03:50It's over.
01:03:51It's all over.
01:04:06Hello.
01:04:07I am Ellie.
01:04:08Thank you to all the friends concerned about this matter.
01:04:11What you've just seen
01:04:13is the absolute truth.
01:04:15Lies will eventually shatter
01:04:17and evil will eventually be exposed.
01:04:20This experience made me realize
01:04:22a woman's value doesn't rely on marriage or others.
01:04:26True happiness comes from financial independence
01:04:28and mental strength.
01:04:30Today is not just about getting justice for myself,
01:04:33but also hoping my experience
01:04:35can show women facing similar struggles.
01:04:39You are not alone
01:04:40and your pain deserves to be seen.
01:04:44Therefore, I officially announce that personally,
01:04:47along with Dawn Capital and Herbit Law Firm,
01:04:50we are founding a real non-profit charity,
01:04:52Women's Support Fund.
01:04:55Support!
01:05:07Thank you all again.
01:05:08May we all break free
01:05:10and embrace a life that is bright and brilliant.
01:05:17Mom,
01:05:19don't go.
01:05:21Thank you for telling me
01:05:22Dad and Grandma's intentions.
01:05:24Mom,
01:05:25I know I was wrong.
01:05:26Please don't leave me.
01:05:30Ethan,
01:05:31you're 18 now.
01:05:3318 means you're an adult
01:05:35responsible for your own choices.
01:05:38I won't abandon you.
01:05:40But you're right.
01:05:42I can't keep controlling you
01:05:43and handling everything for you.
01:05:47However,
01:05:48you can stay here
01:05:49or go find work,
01:05:51go to school
01:05:52and explore the world,
01:05:54but the path belongs to you
01:05:55and you must take every step yourself.
01:05:58On the day you truly stand on your own feet,
01:06:00Mom will welcome you back to my side.
01:06:02Can you do it?
01:06:23The host is detected
01:06:24to have finished
01:06:25the ultimate counter-attack mission,
01:06:26fully taking control of her destiny,
01:06:28successfully transforming
01:06:29awakening power into motivation
01:06:31to help others.
01:06:31Would the host like to keep
01:06:32the system's awakening access?
01:06:33Thank you for giving me this power
01:06:35and a second chance.
01:06:36But now,
01:06:37I see my path clearly
01:06:38and I already have the strength.
01:06:40Every step in the future,
01:06:42I want to take using my own ability.
01:06:44Please leave this awakening opportunity
01:06:45to someone who needs it more.
01:06:47Unbind and deactivate permanently.
01:06:49Mission accomplished.
01:06:50We must eventually part ways.
01:06:51The road ahead is long
01:06:53and you have become your own lighthouse.
01:06:54Goodbye, host.
01:06:55years you'll
