Short filmTranscript
00:00My parents were framed and died unjustly, and I was drowned in the sea by them.
00:06Our maid's daughter had always loved dressing up.
00:09Whenever there was an event, she had to outdress me, the actual heiress.
00:13In my last life, at my engagement banquet, she cut up every single one of my evening gowns.
00:18She showed up in full glam, became the center of attention.
00:22Everyone said she looked more like the heroine of than I did.
00:25My fiancé fell for her at first sight, and they secretly pledged themselves to each other.
00:30When I found out the truth, I forced them apart.
00:33In the end, my parents were framed and died unjustly, and I was drowned in the sea by them.
00:38When I got a second chance, I went back to the day the maid's daughter cut up my clothes.
00:46Miss, this is bad.
00:48Mia stole your couture gown you had made and snuck off in it.
00:51Langley told me every couture gown in my walk-in closet had been deliberately damaged to varying degrees.
00:57Just like last time.
00:58Langley, call 911.
01:02Mom, something happened.
01:04Someone broke into the house and stole-
01:06In my last life, Mia stole my gown and ruined every dress I had for formal occasions.
01:13By the time I ran into the ballroom, Mia was already being fawned over like a prom queen,
01:18and my fiancé Ethan and my brother Dylan were both hovering around her.
01:22I lost control.
01:23I made a scene in front of everyone.
01:25I still married Ethan afterward.
01:28After we got married, he laundered money, engaged in insider trading,
01:31and then dumped every last crime onto my father.
01:34My father was charged with federal smuggling and sent to federal prison.
01:38My mother, Catherine, was so devastated that she lost focus while driving,
01:42got into a car accident, and got into a car accident.
01:46My pathetic little simp of a brother Dylan was also framed by Ethan, Mia, and thrown into prison.
01:51In the end, to be with Mia.
01:54You're not worth a single strand of Mia's hair.
01:56Marrying you was the most disgusting thing I've ever done in my life.
02:02I arrived at the banquet hall with the police.
02:04The scene in front of me was exactly the same as it had been in my last life.
02:09This time, I had warned them in advance and told them to stay calm and not move,
02:13so the two of them were simply sitting quietly in their seats,
02:15coldly watching everything unfold in the ballroom.
02:18Are you Mia Sullivan?
02:20Y-yes, I am.
02:21We received a report accusing you of theft and intentional destruction of someone else's property.
02:25You'll need to come with us for questioning.
02:28Vivian, how could you do this to me?
02:31What do you mean, how could I do this to you?
02:33Can you stop crying every time something happens like you're the only one in the world with tear dugs?
02:37Officer, this is all just a misunderstanding.
02:39My sister is joking with you.
02:41Shea, nonsense are you talking about?
02:42Shea's your sister.
02:43Somebody broke into my home and stole Longsi.
02:45What did your dad dare something about?
02:47Like, my Porsche really is gone.
02:49Every member of the staff says they never touched my car,
02:52and many of the clothes in my walk-in closet were deliberately damaged.
02:55I've already asked someone to pull the footage from the home security system.
02:58Once we review it, the truth about who did this will come out on its own.
03:03Mia burst into tears on cue.
03:06Vivian, I know you were born into privilege,
03:07but that doesn't give you the right to humiliate me whenever you want.
03:11I may be poor, but I still have my dignity.
03:15You can't humiliate me in front of everyone like this.
03:19Just because you have money,
03:21does that mean you get to trample other people and grind their dignity into the dirt?
03:24Enough!
03:25Can you stop talking for one second?
03:28So what if I have money?
03:30My parents worked hard for it.
03:32Since when is money a sin?
03:34Everyone in this ballroom comes from a family with money and status.
03:37Going by your logic, should all of us be apologizing to you right now?
03:40And besides, even if I were bullying you,
03:43who exactly made you the face of justice?
03:46Right now, you're wearing my dress,
03:48and you're standing way too close to my fiancé.
03:51Is that your idea of justice?
03:52I don't care whether you have self-respect or not.
03:55But before you talk about dignity,
03:57could you at least take off the couture gown you're wearing?
03:59I had it custom-made especially for tonight.
04:01It wasn't tailored so you could use it to make your grand entrance.
04:04Every eye in the room dropped to the dress she was wearing.
04:07No wonder something looked off about that dress.
04:09So she really did steal someone else's.
04:12I heard she's the daughter of the Sinclair family's maid.
04:16No wonder we've never seen her before.
04:18She didn't know whether to take the dress off or keep it on.
04:24That's enough.
04:25Vivian, you've gone too far.
04:28It's just a dress.
04:29I think Mia looks better in it than you do anyway.
04:32Why can't you be more generous and just give it to her?
04:35Sharing is caring.
04:37Today is such an important day
04:38and you're the one insisting on turning it into a disaster.
04:43This is all just a mender standing.
04:45Thanks for making the trip, officers,
04:46but you can head back now.
04:49Are you the reporting party?
04:50If not, then step aside.
04:52Ethan was a bastard son,
04:54the accidental result of Hargrove patriarch Robert
04:56fooling around outside his marriage.
04:58After Robert's first wife died,
05:00he immediately brought Ethan and his mother
05:02back into the family home.
05:04That had been an open secret in our circle for years.
05:07In my last life, I was bewitched by him.
05:09Ethan, please!
05:10I chased after him like an idiot,
05:12listened to everything he said,
05:13and tried my best to satisfy every demand he made of me.
05:17And in the end, he still killed me.
05:19He didn't even leave my body behind.
05:21But I wasn't the same idiot from my last life anymore
05:24than one who let love scramble her brains.
05:27My gaze fell on Robert and his current wife, Diane,
05:30who were standing behind the crowd.
05:33Uncle Robert,
05:34this is only an engagement.
05:36I haven't even married into the Hargrove family yet,
05:40and Ethan is already publicly taking another woman's side against me.
05:44Tell me,
05:45do you still think this engagement should happen?
05:48The Hargroves were nowhere near the Sinclairs in status.
05:52They were new money trying to claw their way into old money circles.
05:55The gap between us was enormous.
05:57The reason Ethan and his mother,
05:59a woman who clawed her way up from being a mistress,
06:01had the standing they did in the Hargrove family now
06:03was directly tied to his engagement to me.
06:07Apologize!
06:09I didn't do anything wrong.
06:11Why should I apologize?
06:13Who the hell do you think you are?
06:15If my daughter hadn't chosen you,
06:17what right would you have to even stand in this room today?
06:19Officer, we want this investigated to the end.
06:23Please take her away.
06:27Dad!
06:28Shut up.
06:30Look at you, absolutely spinless.
06:34You look like a dog wagging its tail,
06:37begging for scraps.
06:38You've disgraced me.
06:42Dylan could only stand there
06:43and watch as Mia was taken away by the police.
06:47The home security footage showed everything clearly.
06:50Mia walked into my walk-in closet
06:52and took my couture gown.
06:53When she appeared on camera again,
06:55she was already wearing it
06:56and there was a pair of scissors in her hand.
06:58She opened the wardrobe where I kept my gowns
07:00and started cutting through them one after another.
07:02The garage camera also caught her slipping into my Porsche
07:05and driving it away.
07:06The evidence was airtight.
07:08Mia had no room left alone.
07:11Vivian, I know I was wrong.
07:12I just wanted to play a prank on you.
07:14I never meant to ruin your engagement banquet.
07:17Please forgive me, okay?
07:18I tapped a few things on my phone
07:20then held it out in front of her.
07:22Adding everything up,
07:23the total comes to $530,000.
07:26Compensate me for my losses
07:27and I'll sign a non-prosecution statement.
07:29How does that sound?
07:30If you do something wrong,
07:32you pay the price.
07:33You understand that much, don't you?
07:36$530,000 was no small amount.
07:38Her mother worked as a live-in maid in my house
07:41and only made a few thousand a month.
07:43There was no way Mia could come up with that kind of money.
07:46Because of what had happened today,
07:48Robert had grounded Ethan
07:49so she couldn't count on him to save her.
07:51And even if she could,
07:52Ethan is just a bastard son.
07:54He didn't have that kind of money.
07:56Except me,
07:57no one would lend him half a million dollars.
07:59But what I didn't expect was,
08:00a text notification popped up on my phone.
08:03The $530,000 had already been transferred.
08:09I signed the settlement agreement on the spot.
08:12I always keep my word.
08:13But the second I walked out of the police station,
08:15I regretted it.
08:16Now I knew how Mia had scraped together
08:18that kind of money so quickly.
08:20It all came from my darling little brother, Dylan.
08:23All Mia had done was cry into the phone
08:24and call out,
08:25Dylan!
08:26And that idiot transferred the money
08:27into her account without even thinking.
08:29The second I saw Dylan with his arm around Mia,
08:31I was so furious I could have breathed fire.
08:34What made it even worse
08:35was that he brazenly brought Mia
08:36right back to our house.
08:38The next morning,
08:39when I went down,
08:39Mia was clinging to Dylan
08:40like a leech in the dining room.
08:42Saw me come downstairs
08:43and turned away without even looking at me.
08:45She kept tidying up as if I didn't exist.
08:48I cleared my throat twice.
08:49She still ignored me.
08:51So I called Langley over.
08:52Langley!
08:55If she can't even manage to prepare breakfast,
08:57maybe it's time we hire someone else.
09:00Very good, Miss Vivian.
09:01I'll take care of it.
09:02Vivian!
09:03What gives you the right to fire my mother?
09:05Because I've been downstairs
09:06for almost ten minutes
09:07and still haven't even seen a glass of water.
09:10The Sinklins aren't a charity.
09:12I don't have enough goodwill
09:13to keep paying someone
09:14who refuses to do her job.
09:16Don't you have hands?
09:17Can't you pour your own water?
09:18Dylan,
09:19don't make me slap you
09:20first thing in the morning.
09:21She's a servant.
09:22She gets paid to work.
09:24If she won't do that,
09:25then what exactly are we paying her for
09:26to stand around like a decorative boss?
09:29And you,
09:29you're my own brother.
09:31You didn't even bother
09:32finding out what happened
09:33before taking an outsider's side
09:34against your sister.
09:35Is your brain broken?
09:37Miss Vivian,
09:37Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair
09:39are the ones who hired me.
09:40I don't take my pay from you.
09:41If anyone gets to fire me,
09:43it's them,
09:43not you.
09:44I've worked for the Sinclair family
09:45for over a decade.
09:46I've devoted years of my life
09:48to this house.
09:48I practically watched you grow up.
09:50Is this really how
09:50you're going to speak to me?
09:51Don't you think that's a bit
09:52lacking in manners?
09:55If Sullivan thinks
09:56my daughter has no manners,
09:57then maybe she should go
09:59find a household
09:59she finds more suitable.
10:01Mom stood on the second floor balcony,
10:03looking down from above.
10:04I've been upstairs
10:04watching this entire time.
10:06Since you clearly
10:06don't want to work
10:07in the Sinclair house,
10:07why not just resign?
10:09Sullivan hurried to explain.
10:11Mrs. Sinclair,
10:11that's not what I meant.
10:13I was only worried
10:13Miss Vivian might suffer outside,
10:15so I just...
10:17Exactly.
10:18Sullivan didn't do anything wrong.
10:19Vivian is the one
10:20who's being unreasonable.
10:22Dylan didn't notice
10:23the displeasure
10:23in Mom's eyes
10:24and kept defending her.
10:26Vivian always bullies Mia.
10:28If Mia hadn't been
10:29the bigger person,
10:29I would already...
10:33Dylan!
10:34Mom interrupted sharply.
10:35Dylan, go back to your room.
10:37Without my permission,
10:38you can stay in there
10:39for the rest of your life.
10:40Seeing Mom angry,
10:41he dared not argue further.
10:43He glared at me hatefully
10:44as he left for his room.
10:46Passing by me,
10:47he muttered under his breath,
10:49Vivian,
10:50this isn't over.
10:51I'll see you around.
10:54Sullivan wasn't fired after all.
10:57I pleaded with Mom
10:58to keep her.
11:02Give Sullivan another chance.
11:05Sullivan thanked me repeatedly,
11:07bowing low,
11:08but the hatred in his eyes
11:09didn't go unnoticed.
11:11That was exactly what I wanted.
11:14I wanted her angry
11:15and dissatisfied.
11:16The whole thing with Langley
11:17had only been meant
11:18to scare her.
11:19She and her daughter
11:21had ruined my life.
11:22How could I possibly
11:24let them leave that easily?
11:28The next day,
11:29Ethan showed up.
11:30Vivian,
11:31I seriously misjudged you.
11:33I had no idea
11:34you were this overbearing.
11:35Mia only wore your dress once
11:37and now you're trying
11:38to drive her mother out?
11:39What exactly
11:41are you trying to do?
11:42If you don't apologize
11:43to Sullivan and Mia,
11:45then I absolutely
11:46will not marry you.
11:47That was almost exactly
11:48what I wanted to hear.
11:50Perfect.
11:51Then hurry up
11:51and go tell your parents
11:52we're calling off
11:53the engagement.
11:54I'll explain it to mine too.
11:56We can both walk away clean.
11:58You go your way,
11:59I go mine.
12:00How about that?
12:01This had been my last life
12:03and Ethan had said
12:03something like that,
12:04I would have run
12:05straight to Mia
12:05and apologized,
12:06begging for her forgiveness.
12:08But I wasn't
12:09the same person anymore.
12:10Now,
12:11I didn't just not
12:11want to hear him speak.
12:13I wanted him dead.
12:14When he heard what I said,
12:16he actually froze
12:16for a second.
12:19What the hell
12:20is that supposed to mean?
12:21Then he came back
12:22to himself.
12:22Vivian,
12:23don't play that hard
12:24to get crap with me.
12:25Go apologize right now
12:27or I'm really
12:27going to get angry.
12:28I folded my arms
12:29and leaned against
12:30the door frame.
12:31Let's see what that
12:31actually looks like.
12:35Vivian,
12:36don't push me
12:36past my limit!
12:41Are you getting angry
12:42or not?
12:42If not,
12:43I'm closing the door.
12:44Vivian,
12:44have I been too nice
12:45to you?
12:46Do you really think
12:47I won't-
12:47His finger was
12:49practically in my face.
12:50I really couldn't
12:51help myself.
12:52I grabbed it
12:53and twisted hard.
12:54A sharp crack
12:55sounded in my hand
12:56and Ethan instantly
12:57crouched to the ground,
12:58clutching his broken
12:59finger in agony.
13:00Vivian,
13:01how dare you!
13:04His finger was
13:05practically in my face.
13:08Vivian,
13:08how dare you!
13:09For I drove my foot
13:10into him
13:10and kicked me so hard
13:11he rolled across the floor
13:12like a broken sack.
13:14Then I pulled out
13:15the baseball bat
13:15I had prepared
13:16in advance.
13:17Who the hell
13:17are you barking at?
13:19You want to break
13:20off the engagement?
13:21Fine!
13:21Do it!
13:22If you know
13:23I'm a narrative,
13:23you're in!
13:25Why no cocky bat!
13:27Without worrying,
13:28you even ames
13:29in the heart,
13:29greats,
13:30mocho,
13:30the dammers!
13:32So what if I hit you?
13:33What are you going
13:34to do about it?
13:34Call 911 if you've
13:36got the guts?
13:37You said I was
13:38pushing your limits?
13:39I'm not just
13:40pushing them!
13:40I'm snapping them
13:41in half today!
13:42Ethan curled up
13:43on the floor,
13:44shielding his head
13:44with one hand
13:45and clutching
13:46his broken finger
13:46with the other,
13:47screaming in pain.
13:50Get out.
13:51If you ever dare
13:52run your mouth
13:53in front of me again,
13:55I'll break your dig next.
13:57The moment I reached
13:58for the bat again,
13:58he limped away
13:59as fast as he could.
14:01Miss Vivian,
14:02if he really does
14:03call off the engagement,
14:04will you be able
14:05to bear it?
14:06What is there to bear?
14:08A dog that won't
14:09stay loyal
14:10is just a dog.
14:11If it has to be put down,
14:12then it has to be put down.
14:14If he really dares
14:15to call it off,
14:15I might actually
14:16respect him a little.
14:17The problem is,
14:19does he really
14:20have the guts?
14:24In the end,
14:25Ethan didn't dare
14:25bring up
14:26breaking off
14:26the engagement.
14:27He swallowed
14:28that beating hole.
14:29He told everyone
14:30he had fallen down
14:31an elevator shaft,
14:32so I turned my attention
14:33to Mia and her mother.
14:35When it comes to
14:36making other people's
14:37lives miserable,
14:38Langley is my right hand.
14:40Sullivan,
14:41tomorrow morning
14:42I want hand-rolled
14:42gnocchi start
14:43from the mashed potatoes.
14:44Every piece has to be
14:45pillowy, springy,
14:46and exactly the same size.
14:48Sullivan,
14:48at noon I want
14:49lobster bisque.
14:50The lobster has to
14:51be killed fresh.
14:51The meat needs to be
14:52hand-picked clean.
14:53I don't want to see
14:54a single shard of shell
14:55in the soup.
14:55Sullivan,
14:56tonight I want
14:57beef wellington.
14:57You will roll
14:58the pastry by hand,
14:59mince the mushroom
14:59duhetes by hand,
15:00and trim the steak
15:00so clean that there
15:01isn't a trace of fat
15:02or silver skin
15:02left on it.
15:02Oh, and one more thing.
15:04Vegetable oil is cheap.
15:05Go buy 10 pounds
15:05of duck fat
15:06and rend it down yourself.
15:07No burnt bits,
15:07no stray meat scripts,
15:08no impurities
15:09floating on the surface.
15:10Miss Vivian,
15:11you're doing this
15:12on purpose!
15:13Congratulations.
15:15You finally
15:15figured it out.
15:16Either do the job
15:18or leave.
15:18If you won't do it,
15:19there are plenty
15:20of people who will.
15:21But for that mother
15:22and daughter,
15:23this was only the beginning.
15:25And I also started
15:26ordering Mia around
15:26to do all kinds of chores.
15:28So from that moment on,
15:29Mia's nightmare began.
15:33Langley not only threw Mia
15:34out of the guest room
15:35next to mine,
15:36but also made her move
15:37into the laundry room
15:38downstairs.
15:39As for me,
15:40I started treating her
15:40like a servant
15:41and ordering her around
15:42openly.
15:43Mia, wipe down the table.
15:46Can't you see
15:46the garden needs
15:47turning over?
15:48What are you
15:48standing there for?
15:50Handwrite 20,000
15:51thank you cards
15:52for the upcoming
15:53charity gala.
15:54I'm donating them
15:55to overseas
15:55earthquake relief.
15:58I'm currently
15:59in negotiations
15:59with Lechenstein
16:00to buy a nuclear submarine,
16:01so hurry up
16:02and clean out
16:03the pool in the yard
16:03so I can start
16:04training as soon
16:05as possible.
16:06I finally figured
16:08you out!
16:08You're just
16:09talking nonsense!
16:10And what was
16:11your first clue?
16:12Lechenstein
16:13doesn't even
16:13Hayat have a coastline!
16:16Vivian,
16:16what right
16:17do you have
16:17to order me around?
16:18I'm not your maid!
16:20You're right.
16:20You're not.
16:21But your mother is.
16:24Don't think
16:25having a little money
16:26means you get to
16:26step all over
16:27other people.
16:28Money doesn't give you
16:29the right to bully
16:29everyone!
16:30Who do you think
16:31you are?
16:32Mia,
16:32I pay your mother
16:33to work in this house
16:34not to have her
16:35bring in some extra
16:35freeloader to live off us.
16:37If you don't want
16:37to do the work,
16:38that's fine.
16:39I'm not holding
16:40a gun to your head.
16:41You and your mother
16:41can leave whenever you want.
16:44Vivian,
16:44I'm saying this
16:45one more time.
16:46I am not
16:47your servant!
16:48Mia,
16:49the Sinclair family
16:50has no obligation
16:51to provide you
16:51with room and bed,
16:52so if you can't
16:53exchange labor
16:54for what you're
16:54receiving here,
16:55then I'm afraid
16:56I have no choice
16:57but to inform you
16:58that need to move
16:58out by tomorrow.
17:01But I'm family
17:02of the staff,
17:02sorry.
17:03I don't like it
17:04when the staff
17:04bring their family
17:05to live in my house.
17:07By tomorrow,
17:08either that pool
17:08is sparkling clean
17:09or you're gone.
17:13Dylan,
17:14who had been out
17:15having fun so much
17:16he practically forgot
17:16where he lived,
17:17finally came home.
17:19One look at his expression
17:20told me exactly
17:21what had happened.
17:22Mia had definitely
17:23hidden by the pool
17:24and called him
17:25to complain.
17:26He kicked my bedroom door open.
17:29Vivian,
17:29who gave you the den?
17:31Then he froze.
17:33My father was holding
17:34a thick stack of photographs.
17:36Dad,
17:37what are you doing here?
17:38The second Dylan walked in,
17:39my father hurled them
17:40at his face.
17:41How did I give birth
17:42to such a useless
17:43piece of trash?
17:44Then he slapped him hard.
17:47Take a good look
17:48at what you've done.
17:50Dylan was completely stunned.
17:52He bent down,
17:52picked up the photos
17:53and after one glance,
17:55looked straight at me
17:56with hatred burning
17:57in his eyes.
17:59You're the one
17:59who ratted me out to dad?
18:01Vivian,
18:02I'm not letting this go.
18:03The photos showed him
18:05and Mia gambling together
18:06at an underground casino.
18:08In my last life,
18:09Mia dragged him
18:10into those gambling dens.
18:11Later,
18:12she even talked him
18:12into opening
18:13an illegal gambling house
18:14himself.
18:15That was what landed him
18:16in prison in the end.
18:17So this time,
18:18I hired a private investigator
18:20early and got the evidence
18:21before it was too late.
18:23I warned you long ago
18:24not to go down this road.
18:26My father was so enraged
18:27he was shaking.
18:28If Vivian hadn't found out
18:29in time,
18:30sooner or later
18:31you would have caused
18:31a disaster.
18:32And now you still have
18:33the nerve to blame her?
18:35He raised his hand
18:36and slapped Dylan again.
18:37I handed my father
18:38the same baseball
18:39that I had used on Ethan.
18:41He snatched it from me
18:42and barked,
18:42I'll break your hands today
18:43and see if you ever dare
18:44touch gambling again.
18:49Dylan's legs
18:50turned to jelly.
18:51He nearly crawled
18:52for the door
18:52on all fours.
18:55With nerves like that
18:56he still dared mess
18:57with underground casinos?
18:59I really had
19:00overestimated him.
19:01I rolled my eyes inside.
19:03The male lead
19:03may have temporarily
19:04exited the stage,
19:05but the show
19:06had already begun.
19:07This game was only
19:08just getting started.
19:10Langley appeared
19:11at my bedroom door
19:11and tapped lightly.
19:13I was still gently
19:14patting my father's back
19:15to calm him down
19:16when I looked up.
19:17What is it, Langley?
19:19Mr. Sinclair,
19:20Mrs. Sinclair and Sapphire
19:22earrings that missing
19:22a few days ago
19:23have been found.
19:24Good.
19:25Where were they found?
19:26I made my voice
19:27sound casual on purpose.
19:28In Sullivan's room,
19:30we also found
19:30Mrs. Sinclair's
19:31emerald ring
19:32and diamond bracelet
19:33that had gone misting earlier.
19:36In my last life,
19:37it was this woman
19:38who gave Ethan the idea
19:39to throw me into the ocean.
19:41It's finally time
19:42to wrap things up.
19:43By the time
19:44the police arrived,
19:45Sullivan was crying
19:46so hard
19:46she nearly passed out
19:47more than once.
19:48I went with my mother
19:49to the police station
19:50to give our statements.
19:52Because the stolen items
19:53were worth so much,
19:54charges amounted
19:55to felony theft.
19:56Sullivan was probably
19:57going to spend
19:58the next several years
19:59behind bars.
20:00Mia rushed to the station
20:01and saw Sullivan
20:02already in handcuffs.
20:03The reunion scene
20:04between mother and daughter
20:05was incredibly moving.
20:07So moving, in fact,
20:08that I had to excuse myself
20:09to the bathroom twice.
20:11How should I put it?
20:12Their acting was so watery
20:13it passed right through me.
20:15By the time I came back
20:16out of the bathroom,
20:17Mia had completely
20:18dropped the act.
20:19The way she looked at me
20:20made it seem like
20:21she wanted to tear me apart
20:22with her bare hands.
20:23Vivian, this isn't over.
20:24Just you wait.
20:27Your fiancé and your brother
20:28are both on my side.
20:29You're just a goopy
20:30trying to swim with sharks.
20:31What kind of wave
20:32do you think you're going to make?
20:33We'll see.
20:35Sooner or later,
20:35I'm going to make you pay.
20:38Oddly enough,
20:39that reminded me
20:40of something important.
20:41I'd badly damaged
20:42Ethan and Dylan,
20:43but not so badly
20:44that they couldn't recover.
20:45My situation still
20:47wasn't truly safe.
20:48So I bought an enormous
20:50bouquet of roses
20:50and went to visit Ethan.
20:59Ethan, I'm sorry.
21:01I went too far before.
21:03I can't live without you.
21:05I only went after Mia
21:07so hard because
21:07I care about you too much.
21:09I know I was wrong.
21:11Please forgive me, okay?
21:13I know Mia won't forgive me now
21:15and I don't even dare
21:16hope she will.
21:17I'm a sinner.
21:18I'll spend the rest of my life
21:20making up into her.
21:21But Ethan didn't buy
21:22a word of it.
21:23Not until I pulled
21:24a black card
21:25out of my pocket.
21:26If you won't forgive me,
21:27that's okay.
21:28There are six million dollars
21:29on this card.
21:30It's all the spending money
21:31I have.
21:31You can take all of it.
21:33I did Mia wrong.
21:34Use it to buy her
21:35whatever you want.
21:36Think of it as me
21:37making up for at least
21:38a little of what I owe her.
21:40Ethan let out a cold laugh
21:41and snatched the card
21:42from my hand.
21:44Fine.
21:46Since you at least know
21:47how to make yourself useful,
21:49I'll let you off this once.
21:50I hurriedly put on
21:51a grateful expression.
21:52This is the key
21:53to where Mia is staying
21:54right now.
21:55Ethan, I know I wronged her.
21:56She definitely won't
21:57want to see me
21:57so please go take care
21:58of her for me.
21:59His eyes lit up immediately.
22:01You're telling the truth?
22:02I nodded desperately.
22:05I swear!
22:05As long as you'll forgive me,
22:07I'll do whatever you want.
22:08That instantly put him
22:09in an excellent mood.
22:13Vivian, don't worry.
22:15I'll take good care
22:16of you from now on.
22:17Suppressing my nausea,
22:18I wrapped my arms around him.
22:20I know I have a lot of flaws.
22:22As long as you don't hate me,
22:23as long as you don't leave me,
22:25I'll do anything you want.
22:26Ethan, I can't live without you.
22:30I know.
22:35You don't know shit.
22:40Ever since Sullivan was arrested,
22:42Mia hadn't dared
22:42come back to Sinclair Manor.
22:44She hadn't even gone back
22:45for her own things.
22:46So my nuclear submarine training
22:48had to be postponed.
22:50The second Ethan got
22:51the black card and the key,
22:52he ran off to find Mia
22:53and relive the magic.
22:55What he didn't know
22:56was that Mia had already
22:57been taken by Dylan
22:58to his apartment
22:58on Greystone Avenue.
23:02That place had basically
23:03become their own
23:04private Eden by now.
23:06And in Eden,
23:07Adam and Eve
23:07are never dressed.
23:08The moment Ethan left,
23:10one of the household staff
23:11called Dylan right away.
23:15Mr. Dylan, this is bad.
23:17Miss Vivian left the house
23:18with several bodyguards.
23:19I heard her say something
23:20about going to your apartment
23:21on Greystone Avenue
23:22and she said she was
23:23going to make someone pay.
23:24You'd better get back there fast.
23:26Sure enough,
23:27my phone rang
23:28less than a minute later.
23:29The caller ID read,
23:31World's Biggest Idiot.
23:32I answered
23:33and Dylan's enraged voice
23:34exploded through the line.
23:37What the fuck?
23:42Vivian, if you so much
23:43as touch one finger on Mia,
23:45Mia, I'm not going
23:46to let this go.
23:47I'm your sister.
23:49What exactly do you think
23:50you can do to me?
23:52Dylan, I'm about to get
23:53to that little...
23:58Eat her blackened
23:59blue today and blue today,
24:00then my name isn't
24:01Vivian Sninclair.
24:03Dylan's voice turned shrill.
24:06Vivian, if you've got a problem,
24:07come at me.
24:08Don't touch her.
24:09I barked in order
24:10to the non-existent bodyguards
24:12beside me upstairs.
24:15Get that bitch for me.
24:17I had already turned
24:17on a signal jammer
24:18outside Dylan's apartment,
24:20so he couldn't reach
24:20Mia by phone.
24:22Desperate, he had no choice
24:23but to race back in person.
24:25Then he rushed upstairs,
24:27ready to play the hero.
24:28Only to hear exactly
24:29what Ethan and Mia
24:30were doing in the bedroom
24:31the instant he pushed
24:32the door open.
24:37A horde of reporters
24:38swarmed outside Dylan's apartment
24:40on Greystone Avenue
24:41like sharks smelling blood.
24:43Dylan and Ethan
24:43beat the hell out of each other.
24:45The fight between them
24:46was brutal.
24:47Their cameras and microphones
24:49captured every glorious second
24:50of Dylan and Ethan
24:51beating each other to a pulp.
24:53Mia stood a short distance away.
24:55Stop fighting!
24:56Please stop!
24:57As for me,
24:57I wore a face full of tears
24:59and staggered into the car
25:00like a woman
25:00carrying the weight of the world.
25:02That got captured on camera too,
25:04so now everyone knew.
25:05The Hargrove bastard
25:06had cheated on his fiancée
25:07with her own brother's woman
25:09and not just anywhere.
25:10In her brother's apartment,
25:11he hadn't just humiliated me.
25:13He gift-wrapped a full-blown scandal
25:15and hand-delivered it
25:16right into Dylan's face,
25:17looking at the three of them
25:18trapped behind the wall
25:19of reporters
25:19and used a tissue
25:20to wipe away
25:21the flood of tears
25:22at my eyes.
25:23Langley's gaze met mine
25:24in the rearview mirror.
25:25Miss Vivian,
25:25that performance
25:26just now was Oscar-worthy.
25:29I shut my eyes
25:30in fake pain.
25:32Oh my god,
25:34this onion is delicious.
25:38At this point,
25:39Ethan had completely offended
25:40the Sinclair family.
25:42Dylan publicly swore
25:43he was going to destroy
25:44the Hargroves.
25:46Vivian,
25:47you have to save me.
25:51If Dylan keeps pushing like this,
25:53my father is really
25:54going to throw me
25:54out of the family.
25:56Robert had always been
25:57cold-blooded and ruthless.
25:59He'd sell out his own mother
26:00for the sake of money,
26:01never mind a bastard son.
26:03I looked at Ethan
26:04with tears in my eyes,
26:05then slapped him hard
26:07across the face.
26:08I told you to go
26:09take care of her.
26:10Is this what you call
26:11taking care of her?
26:12Did I tell you
26:12to sleep with her?
26:13And now you still have
26:14the nerve to come crawling
26:15back to me?
26:16Do you have any idea
26:17what you've done to me?
26:18I became a joke
26:19in our entire social circle
26:20because of you.
26:21Your mess is all over
26:22the headlines
26:23and everyone is saying
26:24my fiance looks down
26:25on the Sinclairs.
26:26They're saying
26:26I'm so desperate
26:27that I threw myself at you
26:28and even paid for the privilege
26:29and you still didn't want me.
26:30They're saying I'm a joke.
26:32You're just a bastard son.
26:33Without this engagement to me,
26:35you and your mother,
26:35the woman who clawed her way up
26:37from being a mistress,
26:38would never even have made it
26:39into the Hargrove family.
26:40How dare you treat me like this?
26:42With everything I've done for you,
26:44what did that make me?
26:44Ethan was so anxious
26:46he was practically babbling.
26:47Vivian,
26:48you have to believe me.
26:50It was all that bitch Mia.
26:52She's the one who seduced me.
26:54Oh, please.
26:55It takes two to make that happen.
26:58If you weren't interested in her,
27:00how exactly was she supposed
27:01to seduce you?
27:02She drugged me.
27:03I couldn't control myself.
27:05I had no choice.
27:07Stop making things up.
27:08Do you even hear yourself?
27:11I lifted my chin,
27:12refusing to let the tears fall.
27:14If she seduced you,
27:15then go online and say it.
27:17Say Mia's a cheap whore
27:18who sleeps around.
27:19Say she drugged you
27:20and that you never even liked her.
27:22I...
27:23I...
27:25Tear slid down my cheek.
27:28Ethan,
27:29after everything that's happened,
27:30you're still lying to me?
27:32You're disgusting.
27:33We're done.
27:37On the phone screen,
27:39that blurry clip
27:39was spreading like wildfire.
27:41Someone edited the clip,
27:43titled it,
27:43Eris Rejects Pleading Bastard Fiance,
27:45and uploaded it online.
27:47It exploded across social media
27:49in an instant.
27:50Ethan was already in the middle
27:51of a public relations firestorm.
27:53Now he had been shoved
27:54directly under a spotlight
27:56and made the internet's
27:57newest target.
27:58Online abuse crashed over him
28:00like a burst down.
28:01As I scrolled through the venom
28:02in the comments section,
28:04Bastard Son acting this wild?
28:06High Societies feel
28:07near the Hollywood.
28:09He had to cheat too.
28:10He makes Tiger Woods
28:11those things.
28:12His mother was a home wrecker.
28:14That's called genetics.
28:15Some people came for me too.
28:17That Mia girl is trash too.
28:19Double dipping whore.
28:20Vivian's an idiot
28:21for treating him like some fries
28:23while getting played this hard.
28:26Facing that tidal wave
28:28of online abuse,
28:29the Hargrove family
28:30instantly became a public target.
28:32Hargrove Industries
28:33stock price tanked
28:34and several partners
28:35sent letters
28:36to mistress climbing
28:37her way up.
28:38Cheating scumbag.
28:39Those scandals clung
28:40to the Hargroves
28:41like stains
28:42that would never wash off.
28:43The entire family
28:44was in chaos.
28:46Robert was so furious
28:47he wound up in the hospital.
28:49Inside the family,
28:50everything was a mess.
28:52And all of that
28:53was just the beginning.
28:54The day after
28:55public opinion hit its peak,
28:56I called in a huge crowd
28:58of reporters
28:59and booked the ballroom
29:00at the Plaza Hotel
29:00for a press conference.
29:11Thank you all
29:12for taking time
29:13out of your busy schedules
29:14to come here today,
29:15which have seriously violated
29:16the good faith principles
29:17of our engagement
29:18and deeply hurt
29:19both me and Vivian Sinclair
29:20and formally announcing
29:21the end of my engagement
29:22to Mr. Ethan Hargrove.
29:24The second those words
29:25left my mouth,
29:26the room erupted.
29:28Cameras flashed wildly
29:29and reporters started
29:30shouting questions
29:31over one another.
29:32Representatives
29:33for Vivian Sinclair
29:34and Ethan Harpore
29:35announced today
29:35that they have mutually
29:36and amicably decided
29:37to anail their engagement.
29:39Ethan Hargrove and I
29:40have no further relationship
29:41of any kind.
29:42And here,
29:43I sincerely wish
29:44Mr. Hargrove
29:45a lifetime of happiness,
29:47enduring love,
29:47unwavering loyalty,
29:49good health,
29:49great success in their careers
29:50and many more brilliant
29:51achievements together
29:52in the years to come.
29:53Lifetime of happiness,
29:54enduring love,
29:55unwavering loyalty,
29:56good health,
29:57great success in their careers
29:58and many more brilliant
29:59achievements together
30:00in the years to come.
30:01I bit off the last few words
30:03with extra clarity.
30:05The smile in my eyes
30:06almost broke through
30:07the grief I had
30:07so carefully staged.
30:09The moment I finished,
30:10I didn't wait
30:11for the reporters to recover.
30:12I took the handkerchief
30:14I had prepared,
30:15pressed it to my face,
30:16ignored every shouted
30:17question behind me
30:18and walked away in tears.
30:20My he-
30:20Miss Vivian,
30:21you were so convincing
30:22just now
30:22that even I almost
30:23believed you.
30:25How else am I supposed
30:26to fool the reporters
30:27and the Hargroves?
30:29Let's go home.
30:31I want to see
30:31what kind of stunt
30:32our great romantic hero
30:33is going to pull next.
30:35...expression as always.
30:37He had been with our family
30:38for decades.
30:39Of course he knew
30:40what was really going on
30:41behind the curtain.
30:43Vivian,
30:43what the hell
30:44was that supposed to mean?
30:46What do you mean
30:47wishing them
30:48a long and happy
30:49life together?
30:51He grabbed my wrist
30:52so hard
30:53it felt like he was
30:53trying to crush
30:54the bones in it.
30:56If they're supposed
30:57to ride off
30:58into the sunset together,
30:59then what am I supposed
31:00to do?
31:00Did you do that on purpose?
31:02Were you trying
31:02to push Mia
31:03into someone else's arms?
31:04I yanked my hand
31:05out of his grip.
31:06A bright red mark
31:07immediately bloomed
31:08around my wrist.
31:10I looked at him
31:11like I was seeing him
31:12for the first time.
31:15Dylan,
31:16are you insane?
31:17Are there no other women
31:17left on this planet?
31:18Mia slept with Ethan
31:19on your bed
31:20and you still want her?
31:21Do you have a brain disorder?
31:23Don't you dare
31:23talk about Mia like that!
31:25Ethan seduced her.
31:26She was innocent.
31:27The person she loves
31:28is me.
31:28You don't understand.
31:29You don't understand
31:30what we have.
31:31No, I don't!
31:38All I know
31:39is that anyone
31:39who can forgive betrayal
31:40this easily
31:41has got to be
31:42mentally damaged.
31:42My father,
31:43who had been sitting
31:44on the sofa in silence,
31:45smoking,
31:46finally snapped.
31:47He shot to his feet,
31:49crushed his cigarette
31:49out in the ashtray,
31:50strode over,
31:51and kicked Dylan
31:52hard enough
31:52to send him sprawling.
31:54Did she put
31:54some kind of spell
31:55on you?
31:57Is there anything
31:58in that head of yours
31:58besides her?
31:59You've disgraced
32:00the Sinclair family!
32:01Stop hitting him.
32:02There's no point
32:03trying to reason with him.
32:04Find someone
32:04and set him up on a date.
32:05A good girl from a family
32:06that matches ours.
32:07Wealth, class,
32:08and common sense.
32:09Get him married
32:10as soon as possible.
32:11Maybe once he settles down
32:12he'll finally come back
32:13to his senses.
32:13Dylan climbed to his feet,
32:15looking like he wanted
32:15to argue,
32:16but one savage look
32:17from our father
32:17made him shrink back.
32:18In the end,
32:19he could only stomp
32:20his foot furiously,
32:21spin around,
32:22and storm back to his room,
32:23slamming the door
32:24behind him.
