Transcript

00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.

00:00:04Today, my family pushed me into hell.

00:00:06The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.

00:00:09The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.

00:00:14Jolene!

00:00:15Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!

00:00:18If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.

00:00:20Release Jolene first.

00:00:22Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.

00:00:26I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.

00:00:30But he doesn't even glance my way.

00:00:32I choose Jolene too.

00:00:34This is the man I loved for three years.

00:00:37Code-blooded.

00:00:38Roofless.

00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.

00:00:50But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.

00:00:59Poor girl.

00:01:01Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:01:04No need to hurry.

00:01:05One at a time, boys.

00:01:06Everyone gets their turn.

00:01:09No!

00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.

00:01:15A dozen figures dressed in black storming sun.

00:01:19If you want to live,

00:01:22stop right now.

00:01:23I recognize the man.

00:01:25He is Liam Warren.

00:01:27The most powerful man in Artwell.

00:01:29Who commands a massive empire.

00:01:31Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.

00:01:34Mr. Warren.

00:01:35Please spare us.

00:01:53Who are you?

00:01:54I'm the one sending you to hell.

00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,

00:01:59desperate pleas,

00:02:00and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.

00:02:07How much did Jolene pay you?

00:02:09Five million.

00:02:11She wanted you ruined.

00:02:16Thank you for saving me.

00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.

00:02:24I can cure it.

00:02:26Do you trust me?

00:02:28I trust you.

00:02:30I draw a small blade,

00:02:31make a precise cut on his finger,

00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.

00:02:34Until it's fully out of my system,

00:02:36you're gonna have to stick close to me.

00:02:38First,

00:02:40I need to end things with the Browns.

00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.

00:02:46When I return home,

00:02:47I find my biological parents and three brothers

00:02:50gathered around Jolana,

00:02:51showering her with care.

00:02:53I close the distance,

00:02:54grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.

00:02:57Catherine, have you completely lost it?

00:03:00Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?

00:03:03You better apologize right now.

00:03:06Catherine,

00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?

00:03:10Maybe we never should have taken you in.

00:03:12Me causing trouble?

00:03:15Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?

00:03:18She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.

00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.

00:03:24Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:03:26The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.

00:03:31No!

00:03:31It must be fake!

00:03:33Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?

00:03:36Or maybe call the police?

00:03:37No! No!

00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!

00:03:41I'm sorry!

00:03:41I'm the one who should leave this place!

00:03:44Catherine, Jolene's apologized.

00:03:46Just drop it!

00:03:47It's either her or me.

00:03:50Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.

00:03:53In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.

00:03:56So why should I hold on to them?

00:03:58Just as I step outside,

00:04:00a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.

00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?

00:04:07Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.

00:04:09I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.

00:04:16The car glides into the Warren estate.

00:04:19The most powerful family in Ardwell.

00:04:25Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.

00:04:32Is everything settled?

00:04:34Yes, I've cut ties.

00:04:35From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.

00:04:37Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:40All right.

00:04:40But I have two conditions.

00:04:42First, I need a complete medical lab.

00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.

00:04:47Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:53But keep this in mind.

00:04:56If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...

00:05:01My medical skills won't disappoint you.

00:05:03Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.

00:05:06Buy whatever you need.

00:05:07Don't hold back.

00:05:08I take the black card.

00:05:09A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.

00:05:12Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.

00:05:15Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.

00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.

00:05:20This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.

00:05:23Ironic, isn't it?

00:05:24A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.

00:05:28I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.

00:05:33Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.

00:05:36Where did you run off to?

00:05:38Come back.

00:05:39Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.

00:05:41Why are you still throwing a tantrum?

00:05:43Who picked you up?

00:05:44Stop making everything difficult.

00:05:46Just return home.

00:05:48If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.

00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?

00:05:58Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?

00:06:03I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.

00:06:07I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.

00:06:12Get lost.

00:06:13Then I block them all without hesitation.

00:06:15That feels even better.

00:06:16This is how life should be.

00:06:17Logging out, I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.

00:06:24A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.

00:06:30Welcome back.

00:06:31Quietus.

00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the darknet.

00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.

00:06:38My phone rings.

00:06:39It's Jeral Douglas, my loyal admirer.

00:06:42Catherine, you're actually back?

00:06:44I can't believe it.

00:06:45I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.

00:06:48Good.

00:06:48Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.

00:06:51The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.

00:06:53It seems Liam is already investigating me.

00:06:57Let them dig.

00:06:58Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.

00:07:05The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.

00:07:14Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.

00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.

00:07:25I'll bring out the new styles for you.

00:07:29Catherine, what brings you here?

00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.

00:07:34Jolene, is this your sister?

00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?

00:07:43Ring up everything I selected.

00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.

00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.

00:07:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?

00:07:55Watch out.

00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.

00:08:01I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.

00:08:03What?

00:08:04I saw those first.

00:08:06Saw them first, but can't afford them?

00:08:09Maybe?

00:08:10Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?

00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.

00:08:15I pay and walk out.

00:08:18I watched Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction

00:08:23courses through me.

00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.

00:08:29The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.

00:08:32I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown, my makeup refined but understated.

00:08:39Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.

00:08:43I am Liam Warren's date.

00:08:45The most powerful man in Ardwell.

00:08:48All eyes are drawn to us.

00:08:51Is that Mr. Warren?

00:08:53He actually showed up.

00:08:55Who's that woman with him?

00:08:57I've never seen her before.

00:08:59She's stunning.

00:09:01Is she from some notable family?

00:09:03I ignore the whispers.

00:09:05My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.

00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm, playing the part of a cherished

00:09:14woman.

00:09:14But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.

00:09:18Austin freezes too.

00:09:19He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.

00:09:26Catherine, what are you doing here?

00:09:28And with Mr. Warren?

00:09:29Where I go isn't any of your business.

00:09:32Who do you think you are to me?

00:09:37I'm your brother.

00:09:40I let out a cold laugh.

00:09:43Brother?

00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers, did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:50Catherine...

00:09:52Is with me.

00:09:54His words are dripping with authority.

00:09:59Jolene approaches, her expression dark.

00:10:02Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?

00:10:05You never mentioned anything.

00:10:06And didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?

00:10:10I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.

00:10:16Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.

00:10:18Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.

00:10:21None of that is any of your business.

00:10:24Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?

00:10:29Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears.

00:10:33Here she goes again.

00:10:36Catherine, that's not what I meant.

00:10:39Catherine, where have you been?

00:10:41Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

00:10:45We're not that familiar.

00:10:47Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:51Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?

00:10:58Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.

00:11:09Excuse me.

00:11:15I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:18Did you catch that?

00:11:20Liam said it himself.

00:11:22She's with him.

00:11:23This has never happened before, has it?

00:11:28Wait, Catherine?

00:11:30Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth?

00:11:34And brought back from some remote place?

00:11:37Judging by Jolene's little comments,

00:11:39the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.

00:11:43Look at Deccan's face.

00:11:45Is he starting to regret dumping her?

00:11:49I don't look back, but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.

00:11:54The auction begins.

00:11:56One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.

00:11:59Beautiful work of art.

00:12:01A piece of history.

00:12:02A masterpiece.

00:12:10Dazzling.

00:12:12Dazzling.

00:12:12Priceless.

00:12:13But I've never been interested in jewelry.

00:12:16No matter how valuable, they're just stones.

00:12:18Just then, I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:21It's Jolene.

00:12:23Austin, this necklace is stunning.

00:12:26I really like it.

00:12:29Austin understands immediately.

00:12:32His eyes grow determined.

00:12:34Huh.

00:12:35Same as always.

00:12:36Whatever Jolene wants, Austin gives her.

00:12:43Once I was jealous.

00:12:45Now, I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:50Going once.

00:12:51Going twice.

00:12:52Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,

00:12:55a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:12:5750 million.

00:12:5950 million.

00:13:01Sold.

00:13:02Congratulations, Mr. Warren.

00:13:04Liam walks up to the stage and claims the necklace.

00:13:13Then, to everyone's astonishment,

00:13:15he returns to me and fastens the necklace around my neck.

00:13:23It looks good on you.

00:13:27I really like it.

00:13:30The sight stings Jolene's eyes.

00:13:33Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.

00:13:36I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.

00:13:4150 million for a necklace.

00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.

00:13:46After the auction wraps up,

00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.

00:13:50Catherine, you really are something.

00:13:52A few days away and you've already hooked onto Liam.

00:13:55Nothing as impressive as your lifelong mastery of acting sweet and pitiful.

00:13:59Why do you always target me?

00:14:01Cut it out.

00:14:02There's no audience here, so no need to pretend.

00:14:05Jolene spots Declan approaching

00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,

00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:11Catherine, even if you dislike me,

00:14:13isn't this too much?

00:14:14Throwing juice on me?

00:14:17What happened?

00:14:18Declan, it's okay.

00:14:19I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:22Catherine, you still haven't grown up.

00:14:23Jolene is your sister.

00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine

00:14:30and flick my wrist,

00:14:31sending the whole glass onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:34There, that's something I actually did.

00:14:36And I only take responsibility for my own actions.

00:14:40Jolene is stunned.

00:14:42Declan freezes.

00:14:44Seems I arrived just after all the excitement ended.

00:14:48Quite the lesson in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:50Mr. Warren, this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:55Misunderstanding?

00:14:56There are security cameras here.

00:15:00Review them if clarity is needed.

00:15:03Whispers erupt around them.

00:15:10Jolene's face goes from scarlet to ghostly pale.

00:15:14Let's go.

00:15:15The atmosphere here is suffocating.

00:15:17A fierce satisfaction rising in my chest.

00:15:20This time, I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:23Back in the Brown family,

00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.

00:15:25And all it got me was them pushing harder every time.

00:15:28Now, no one could step on me again.

00:15:35The following morning,

00:15:37I walk into the living area

00:15:39and notice Liam is already awake.

00:15:53Good morning.

00:15:55Morning.

00:15:57I head to the kitchen to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:04Just then, Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:13Is she the mysterious beauty who stunned everyone last night?

00:16:17That's Catherine Brown, my new personal doctor.

00:16:21You're serious?

00:16:23His skepticism is loud enough that I can't ignore it.

00:16:28Mr. Moreno, perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:31Your dark under eyes and shortness of breath

00:16:33suggest your vitality is running low.

00:16:36Winfred's face flushes immediately.

00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.

00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?

00:16:41Miss Brown, I'm not one to judge by appearances.

00:16:44But Liam's condition is severe.

00:16:46Many top experts have been stumped.

00:16:48And you?

00:16:49I'm not bothered.

00:16:50I've faced this kind of doubt many times before.

00:16:54We'll see soon enough.

00:16:56Winred, maybe you ought to let Dr. Brown give you a prescription.

00:17:02Liam, are you kidding me?

00:17:03This girl-

00:17:03She's not just some girl.

00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:06Right now, she's the one keeping me alive.

00:17:09He then turns to me.

00:17:10Can you really fix me?

00:17:15Yes.

00:17:1630 minutes later, I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:20Liam pulls his shirt up, exposing his toned chest.

00:17:25I pull out the silver needles and insert them with speed and precision.

00:17:34When the last needle is inserted, Liam's body shivers.

00:17:38And he spits out dark red clotted blood.

00:17:46What did you just do to him, Dr. Brown?

00:17:48How are you feeling now?

00:17:54I feel great.

00:17:56Lighter than I have in a long time.

00:17:58Don't let yourself get too stressed.

00:18:01And most importantly, you'll need to prioritize rest and abstinence.

00:18:06Understood, Dr. Brown.

00:18:07I'll take your advice seriously.

00:18:10Winfred leans in and quietly asks if I can help with his health.

00:18:16I go back to my room and return with a bottle of pills.

00:18:20These are pills for male vitality.

00:18:23One bottle costs $100,000.

00:18:25$100,000?

00:18:26Are these pills made of solid gold?

00:18:29The ingredients are rare, and the process is complicated.

00:18:33Quality always demands a premium price.

00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:37A sports car can be repaired, but if your health fails,

00:18:41no sum of money will grant you a second chance.

00:18:44The following morning, just as I prepare to leave, my phone buzzles with a call from Austin.

00:18:52Catherine, come back here right now.

00:18:54What is it?

00:18:55You'll find out when you get here.

00:18:56I realize that for the sake of my own peace, cutting all connections with the Brown family is necessary.

00:19:03The mood in the living room is thick with tension.

00:19:10Look who's back.

00:19:12How did you sink so low at your age, becoming someone's mistress?

00:19:18Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.

00:19:20I'm afraid you're being misled.

00:19:22Who I decide to be with is my own business.

00:19:26It doesn't concern your family.

00:19:29You're a Brown!

00:19:32Everything you do stains our family's name!

00:19:36Catherine, seriously, do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?

00:19:40Are you all finished?

00:19:42First, Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:47Second, even if there were something else, it's none of your business.

00:19:51And don't forget that I am no longer part of your family.

00:19:54You said you cut ties, so give back the Brown group's shares.

00:20:01Those shares came from Grandpa.

00:20:05You don't have a single right to any of it.

00:20:08I pull out my phone and show them the screen.

00:20:10Since I stepped in, I've been recording all your insults, threats, and schemes to grab the shares.

00:20:17Keep pushing me, and I won't hesitate to hand this over to the press and the law.

00:20:24I put my phone away, feeling nothing.

00:20:28I used to put up with everything you threw at me.

00:20:31Now it's your turn to taste what it feels like to be on the other end of a threat.

00:20:39I leave the Brown family home and prepare to go back.

00:20:45Suddenly, a voice calls out.

00:20:48Catherine, is that really you?

00:20:49Where have you been hiding?

00:20:51I look at the woman before me.

00:20:54She's nearly 50, her face lined with wrinkles, her expression mean and petty.

00:21:00What do you want?

00:21:01You must have money if you're surviving this well.

00:21:04My son needs school fees, and you owe me half a million.

00:21:07If you don't pay up, I'll make a scene outside your place every single day.

00:21:12If you need cash, ask your real daughter, Jolene.

00:21:15I raised you all those years, so you should compensate me.

00:21:19You ungrateful brat!

00:21:21Stay out of my way.

00:21:23Otherwise, I won't hesitate to involve the police and reopening the case about you switching infants.

00:21:28You... don't do anything rash.

00:21:30I'll... I'll... I'll be going now.

00:21:32Bridget scurries off in panic.

00:21:38Just then, a sleek black Rolls Royce glides to a stop beside me.

00:21:43The window lowers, revealing Liam's handsome face.

00:21:48Do you need a hand?

00:21:49No, it's nothing serious. I've already taken care of it.

00:21:53Get in.

00:21:55It's nearly impossible to catch a taxi here.

00:21:57I hesitate, but eventually get into the car.

00:22:01Bridget's appearance reminds me of one thing.

00:22:03The Brown family's troubles aren't over.

00:22:05That woman's greed is bottomless.

00:22:08She won't let this go.

00:22:09But that's fine.

00:22:11I'm no longer that little girl who let others push her around.

00:22:16Anyone who wants to come after me had better think twice.

00:22:21On the weekend, Gerard asks to meet me at Harborview Genie, a popular restaurant.

00:22:30Catherine?

00:22:32I turn around, and my eyes fall on Jaleen, standing with the Browns and the Fultons.

00:22:38Did you hear we'd be here and decide to show up just to cause a scene?

00:22:42Mr. Brown, I'm here for the food.

00:22:45Just then, a clear voice cuts through the tension.

00:22:50Miss Catherine Brown, you're here.

00:22:52Welcome. Please follow me.

00:22:54Everyone stares in shock as I walk toward the most private, rarely accessible suite in the entire restaurant.

00:23:01How is she getting in there? There must be some mistake.

00:23:06I push open the suite door, and Gerard immediately rises from his seat.

00:23:11Catherine, you made it.

00:23:13Gerard tells me his uncle has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

00:23:16He says the required surgery carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:24Start with this medication.

00:23:26Come back in a week for a follow-up.

00:23:28We'll reassess then.

00:23:33Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:35I was sure you'd have a solution.

00:23:37After the meal, Gerard leans forward and asks if I need help with anything.

00:23:43I want to buy a house.

00:23:45It doesn't have to be big, but it must be extremely quiet and private, with top-tier security.

00:23:50I'll handle it. I'll find something perfect for you.

00:23:53Oh, and you're starting at Arralis University next Monday, right?

00:23:56I'm going to study.

00:23:58Medical school.

00:23:59You need to study medicine?

00:24:00You've got to be kidding me!

00:24:02I'm getting a formal degree and taking care of some personal business.

00:24:06Campus life isn't a bad experience after all.

00:24:10The manager hands me an exclusive premium membership card,

00:24:14saying all my expenses here will be on the house from now on.

00:24:18I glance over at Gerard.

00:24:20And he breaks into a grin.

00:24:22Don't refuse it.

00:24:23This is our business, so just enjoy it.

00:24:28Fine.

00:24:30After being chased away from my private suite,

00:24:33Jolene drags herself to her family's box.

00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?

00:24:48Mom, I'm fine.

00:24:50I just stepped out to see who Catherine was meeting.

00:24:53I was worried about her, but she had me pushed away.

00:24:57What?

00:24:58How dare she treat you that way?

00:25:01That ungrateful girl!

00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:06I saw it, too.

00:25:08The manager was treating Catherine with a lot of respect.

00:25:12Yes.

00:25:13That man had an aura you can't fake.

00:25:15Catherine is clearly in the high circles.

00:25:17No wonder she's trying to distance herself from us.

00:25:27Pathetic and disgraceful.

00:25:31Who knows what kind of company she's keeping now?

00:25:35Jolene's heart swells with secret satisfaction.

00:25:38I have burned my bridges with the family for good.

00:25:42She is the Brown family's one and only daughter now.

00:25:47The dinner finally ends and the two families part way at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:52When an unexpected grating voice rings out behind Jolene, she turn around and her smile freezes.

00:25:59It's her.

00:26:01Jolene!

00:26:03My dear daughter!

00:26:04Finally!

00:26:05I've found you!

00:26:07Her blood runs cold.

00:26:11Jolene, your younger brother needs money for school.

00:26:14Maybe you could help us out?

00:26:19I don't have time for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:22Take this, and never show your face around me again.

00:26:25Jolene, this isn't nearly enough.

00:26:27The tuition alone is a hundred thousand.

00:26:29Her hands tremble with unbridled rage.

00:26:32This wretched woman just won't know her place.

00:26:35I don't know you!

00:26:36My parents already paid you enough to cut ties all those years ago!

00:26:45I can't let this go on.

00:26:46I need to find a way to get rid of this problem for good.

00:26:50The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived.

00:26:53My first day reporting to Aurarius University.

00:27:09Jolene, is this your sister?

00:27:11Since when does Avilius University let random nobodies walk in?

00:27:14Well, isn't this a lovely coincidence, Jolene?

00:27:17Looks like we're going to be classmates.

00:27:19Classmates?

00:27:20You and me?

00:27:21Don't be ridiculous!

00:27:24The lecture bell chimes sharp and clear, and Professor Lambert Carter steps through the door.

00:27:30He's a living legend in the global medical field, the heart of this school's medical program.

00:27:36He turns to the class and poses an extremely complex, peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:42The entire lecture hall falls dead silent, not a single student daring to speak up.

00:27:51Young lady, please tell us what you think.

00:27:53I shut my notebook calmly, no trace of panic in my movements, and stand up.

00:27:58I lay out my analysis clearly and concisely, citing cutting-edge research, clinical data, and real surgical cases effortlessly.

00:28:08She's incredible! Total beauty and brains! Who even is she?

00:28:14Jolene's face burns with jealousy, her grip tight on her pen.

00:28:20When the final bell rings, I walk out of the lecture hall.

00:28:23Jolene steps in front of me with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:27Catherine, just a few days away, and suddenly you're the one catching everyone's attention.

00:28:33Jolene? She's probably pulling stunts she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:37Exactly! Everyone whispers she knows how to charm the right people.

00:28:42Is that all?

00:28:43Now, move aside, mutt.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:50Paige steps forward to push me.

00:28:52I'm not going to warn you twice. Hands to yourselves.

00:28:59Catherine! You can't just touch people like that!

00:29:02Jolene, keep your little gang in check.

00:29:04If they open their mouths like that again, next time won't be so friendly.

00:29:08Watch your tone.

00:29:10You're messing with the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:14The Brown family?

00:29:16That's your problem, not mine.

00:29:19Stop pretending.

00:29:21It's pathetic.

00:29:23I turn and walk away.

00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion and find Liam in the living room.

00:29:36You were out?

00:29:38Yeah.

00:29:39I stopped by Aurelius University to check in.

00:29:42Also took a look at a new place while I was out.

00:29:45You're moving out?

00:29:47Yeah.

00:29:48Staying here long term isn't practical.

00:29:50Your treatment has leveled out.

00:29:51It won't interfere with your progress.

00:29:53Where's the new place?

00:29:55I offer the building and unit number of Sterling Haven without hesitation.

00:29:59Then I prepare a medicinal shower.

00:30:02The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:04A thin mist curling through the room.

00:30:08It's ready?

00:30:09Liam walks toward the treatment area,

00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt as he moves.

00:30:14His long fingers loosen the fabric,

00:30:17revealing toned muscles and defined contours.

00:30:22Take the pants off, too.

00:30:27What's the matter?

00:30:28Feeling shy now?

00:30:29After some hesitation,

00:30:31Liam strips down to his briefs

00:30:33and eases himself into the steaming water.

00:30:36Though composed moments ago,

00:30:38my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:40It's not like this is the first time I've treated him.

00:30:43Why am I so flustered?

00:30:46Get it together, Catherine.

00:30:48You're a doctor.

00:30:49Stay professional.

00:30:50Don't let a handsome face and a good body throw you off.

00:30:54The next day,

00:30:55I head to the lab to find Lombard.

00:30:59Perfect timing.

00:31:00I've been wrestling with this data all morning.

00:31:02Come check this out.

00:31:07The two of us slip effortlessly into a heated discussion.

00:31:19Professor Carter, sorry to interrupt,

00:31:21but there's something I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:23If you have something to say, just say it.

00:31:26Professor, I know you prize real skill,

00:31:29but Kathleen is not who you think she is.

00:31:31She never attended a proper university.

00:31:34How could she grasp complex medical research?

00:31:36I'm afraid you're being deceived.

00:31:38Enough!

00:31:39Jolene,

00:31:40I don't know what you're trying to do with these accusations,

00:31:43but I've seen enough to know true talent

00:31:45when it's in front of me.

00:31:46Catherine identified the error the moment she looked at it.

00:31:49Most PhD candidates wouldn't even catch this mistake

00:31:52the first time around.

00:31:53Tell me,

00:31:54how could anyone possibly fake that level of understanding?

00:32:02Professor Carter, I...

00:32:04I know true talent when I see it.

00:32:06I don't need your commentary.

00:32:09Now, please step outside.

00:32:19In that moment,

00:32:20I knew I'd found someone who saw me.

00:32:23Not the lies they spread about me.

00:32:32Hey.

00:32:33I'm Catherine Brown.

00:32:35Just as I walked into the classroom and took my seat,

00:32:38I noticed the girl next to me,

00:32:40her cheek marked by a dark birthmark.

00:32:44Hi.

00:32:44I'm Claudia Norris.

00:32:51Well, well, what do we have here?

00:32:53One caught attention by pure chance,

00:32:55and the other...

00:32:56Well, the problem's pretty obvious.

00:32:58The snickling spread through the classroom in an instant.

00:33:01Every gaze nailed onto the two of us.

00:33:03Oh, come on, everyone.

00:33:05Don't be so harsh.

00:33:07Professor Carter thinks the world of Catherine.

00:33:12So she's really riding Professor Carter's coattails to get into med school?

00:33:15How pathetic.

00:33:17Oh, wow.

00:33:19Catherine, your shoes!

00:33:20They're the exact same as Jolene's!

00:33:22Come on, Catherine.

00:33:24You actually showed up wearing fake shoes?

00:33:26That's bold.

00:33:30Still, it's embarrassing as hell.

00:33:38All eyes in that instant were pinned on my feet.

00:33:43I feel like being judged in a high society party.

00:33:47The murmur in the room quickly grows into a loud buzz.

00:33:51Most of them were convinced the shoes on my feet were fake.

00:33:56Hey, Catherine.

00:33:57If you like those shoes, I don't mind lending you mine.

00:34:00Wearing fakes is bad.

00:34:03Thanks, but I'm pretty selective.

00:34:05I don't wear other people's shoes.

00:34:08Besides, we still don't actually know who's rocking the fakes, do we?

00:34:13I slowed my movements deliberately, lifted my foot,

00:34:17and aimed the heel straight at the crowd.

00:34:20Is that real?

00:34:21Of course.

00:34:22Here's what I know.

00:34:23Every pair designed by Future's lead designer, Alan Lewis,

00:34:28comes with a unique serial number and the designer's initials.

00:34:33AL engraved on the inside heel.

00:34:35It can't be.

00:34:36But it is.

00:34:41Jolene, why don't you have a look inside your own heel?

00:34:44I'm not scared!

00:34:46She raises her foot and turns the inside of the heel toward everyone.

00:34:48It's empty.

00:34:53Impossible!

00:34:55My shoes are real!

00:34:56The marks are just worn down from use!

00:34:59You can barely see it now!

00:35:01Oh, really?

00:35:02Future's anti-counterfeit system is one of the most advanced in the world.

00:35:06Unless the shoes are completely wrecked,

00:35:08the serial number doesn't just disappear.

00:35:11Want to check right now?

00:35:12No!

00:35:12That won't be necessary!

00:35:14I must have just made a mistake!

00:35:17You wanted to embarrass me in front of everyone?

00:35:20Jolene, you seem to forget.

00:35:22What I do best is tear apart cheap facades like yours.

00:35:26After school, Jolene storms out of campus, fuming.

00:35:30Austin is there to pick her up.

00:35:36Jolene, what's going on?

00:35:38Did someone mess with you?

00:35:39Austin!

00:35:40Those limited edition shoes you got for me?

00:35:44Catherine showed up wearing the exact same pair and accused mine of being fake.

00:35:50Showtime.

00:35:56Catherine, wait!

00:36:03What gives you the right to accuse Jolene's shoes of be fake?

00:36:11Just take the shoes to the store for verification.

00:36:14Verify them?

00:36:15Who do you think you are?

00:36:24Lucky for me,

00:36:26Future's Black Gold members get priority verification.

00:36:30The Future Black Card?

00:36:32How the hell does she have that?

00:36:34Austin, let's just get this over with!

00:36:42No, forget it.

00:36:43This isn't worth the headache.

00:36:44Let's just go home.

00:37:01What's going on here?

00:37:04Liam gets out of the car, moving with authority.

00:37:11They look at him nervously, like rats looking at a cat.

00:37:15Mr. Warren!

00:37:17Is everything alright?

00:37:20Mr. Warren, it's nothing serious.

00:37:23Catherine just insisted my shoes weren't real.

00:37:29Do you need any help?

00:37:31No, it's fine.

00:37:32Nothing to worry about.

00:37:34Mr. Warren,

00:37:35this is a private family matter.

00:37:38Family matter?

00:37:39If Catherine's involved,

00:37:41it's my business too.

00:37:46Let's go.

00:37:48Dinner's waiting.

00:37:55Your turn is over.

00:37:57Fake shoes always end up rubbing the heel raw.

00:38:00You might want to change yours.

00:38:11I feel a quiet thrill of satisfaction.

00:38:13You thought you could humiliate me with fake shoes?

00:38:16Look how that backfired.

00:38:19Back in the Brown family,

00:38:21I always had to bite my tongue and step aside.

00:38:25Now, with Liam backing me up,

00:38:28I have nothing to fear.

00:38:39The next afternoon,

00:38:41I wheel a small suitcase to my new home, Sterling Haven.

00:38:45Just as I step out of the car,

00:38:47Catherine?

00:38:48A familiar voice calls out behind me.

00:38:52I turn and see Declan and Jolene standing not far away.

00:38:57What's going on here?

00:38:58Why are you at this place?

00:39:00Catherine,

00:39:01why are you hauling a suitcase here?

00:39:03Are you sure you haven't gotten the wrong place?

00:39:06This is Sterling Haven.

00:39:08If you don't want the security guards kicking you out,

00:39:10you better leave.

00:39:12I live here.

00:39:13So yeah, I'm pretty sure I know my own address.

00:39:15Your home?

00:39:16Wait,

00:39:17are you working here?

00:39:19Like on the staff?

00:39:20I can't help but laugh.

00:39:21Jolene,

00:39:22your imagination is wild.

00:39:24So tell me,

00:39:25what about you two?

00:39:26Are you here to apply for janitor or security jobs?

00:39:29Declan and I are here,

00:39:31looking for a place to settle down.

00:39:33Our wedding apartment, actually.

00:39:36I calmly reach into my bag and pull out an access card,

00:39:42tapping it against the reader.

00:39:47A beep confirms access.

00:39:51Declan and Jolene freeze in shock.

00:39:57Just moved into Sterling Haven,

00:39:59and the silence of the night was shattered.

00:40:03There's a race tomorrow evening.

00:40:05The prize is huge.

00:40:06Feeling the itch?

00:40:08Who's racing?

00:40:10The same arrogant group of wealthy young men.

00:40:13They've been throwing challenges at Evora.

00:40:17Oh,

00:40:18and the Brown family will be there too.

00:40:21What's the prize?

00:40:23A million dollars,

00:40:24plus a limited edition sports car.

00:40:27Send me the details.

00:40:30Since they're throwing themselves at me,

00:40:32I see no reason to refuse.

00:40:37Four in the afternoon,

00:40:38I drive towards the racetrack in the suburb.

00:40:55I sign that name.

00:40:57The one they both dread and go mad over.

00:41:04Oh, it's Evora!

00:41:06Our idol Evora has arrived!

00:41:11Evora?

00:41:12It's probably just someone pretending.

00:41:18She wouldn't show up for a small race like this.

00:41:28Just then,

00:41:29that flashy blue GT-R

00:41:31pulled up right in front of me.

00:41:36Catherine?

00:41:37What are you doing here?

00:41:39This isn't a playground for careless drivers.

00:41:44If trash like you is allowed here,

00:41:47why shouldn't I be?

00:41:52Explain yourself.

00:41:56As if I'm going to.

00:42:01As expected,

00:42:02he got angry out of embarrassment,

00:42:04resorting to such underhanded, pathetic tactics.

00:42:07But he can't touch me.

00:42:09Laying hands on someone in public?

00:42:11That's a bad look.

00:42:13Let go!

00:42:13Don't you know who I am?

00:42:19Whoever you are,

00:42:20if you touch Kathan again,

00:42:22you'll regret it.

00:42:26We'll settle this on the race course.

00:42:29Hopefully you don't crash out in the first round.

00:42:32The signal light blinks on

00:42:34and the five engines roar to life.

00:42:36The green light flashes

00:42:37and Jackson's GT-R shoots forward.

00:42:40At the first corner,

00:42:41I execute a drift

00:42:42unlike anything he's ever seen

00:42:44and pull ahead.

00:42:45The next stretch of the track

00:42:46turns into a full-on display of my skill.

00:42:54I flow through every bed

00:42:55as if I designed them myself.

00:42:59It's Evora!

00:43:00She's really the legendary Evora!

00:43:10My gray car

00:43:11shoots through the final stretch

00:43:13and crosses the finish line first.

00:43:27I push open the door

00:43:28and pull off my helmet.

00:43:29my ponytail swinging in the breeze.

00:43:34My face stays calm,

00:43:37showing no excitement.

00:43:47You...

00:43:48You...

00:43:49You're really Evora?

00:43:50Evora?

00:43:53Tell me...

00:43:55Who's the idiot now?

00:43:59So you were tricking us

00:44:00this whole time?

00:44:01On the day I returned,

00:44:03I told all of you

00:44:04I liked racing.

00:44:06But not a single one of you

00:44:07ever bothered to listen.

00:44:11I step around Jackson

00:44:12and walk off without looking back.

00:44:18I never wanted to flaunt being Yivora.

00:44:21But since you kept pushing,

00:44:23now you get to see

00:44:24who the real Catherine Brown

00:44:26really is.

00:44:50He drops the video into the group chat

00:44:52and tags Liam directly.

00:44:57Liam, you have to see this.

00:44:59I swear it'll knock you sideways.

00:45:01Please.

00:45:02Nothing on earth surprises Liam.

00:45:05What nonsense are you stirring up now?

00:45:13Liam opens the video,

00:45:15sees me stepping out of the gray car,

00:45:17and a flicker of real shock

00:45:19crosses eyes.

00:45:21It's her.

00:45:26Okay, I'm genuinely blown away.

00:45:29Liam, what kind of divine helper

00:45:30do you have in your life?

00:45:32This woman is pure magic.

00:45:33Told you.

00:45:34I knew even Liam

00:45:35couldn't stay calm after this.

00:45:53Catherine,

00:45:54just how much are you still hiding?

00:46:01The next day,

00:46:02I walk into the classroom.

00:46:06Catherine,

00:46:06I got you your favorite coffee.

00:46:08I smile and pull out

00:46:10a delicate porcelain bottle

00:46:11from my bag.

00:46:13Apply this ointment

00:46:14to the spot before bed.

00:46:16You should see results

00:46:18in about a month.

00:46:19Thank you so much, Catherine.

00:46:20Do you really think it will work?

00:46:22A mocking laugh

00:46:23cuts through the air.

00:46:25Consistency is the key.

00:46:26I'm confident it'll heal.

00:46:31Seriously?

00:46:32You actually think

00:46:33a homemade cream

00:46:34will magically make you beautiful?

00:46:36My eyes darken

00:46:37as I fix Paige

00:46:38with a piercing stare.

00:46:40Apologize.

00:46:42Why should I apologize?

00:46:43I'm just speaking the truth.

00:46:46Catherine,

00:46:47Paige can be a bit blunt.

00:46:48She didn't mean to be hurtful.

00:46:51Paige was only trying to warn you.

00:46:53The ointments you're handing out

00:46:55aren't officially approved.

00:46:57If Claudian's condition gets worse,

00:46:59that could cause a big problem.

00:47:01It's to heal,

00:47:02not harm.

00:47:04Why do you jump to conclusions

00:47:05without a shred of proof?

00:47:11Tell me,

00:47:12have you ever actually tested

00:47:14these ointments yourself?

00:47:15Claudian,

00:47:16use your ointment

00:47:17without any worries.

00:47:18If anything happens,

00:47:20I will take full responsibility.

00:47:22Jolene Brown,

00:47:23my medical skills

00:47:24aren't something

00:47:25outers to question.

00:47:31Catherine,

00:47:32I believe in you.

00:47:33Just as the school day

00:47:34wraps up,

00:47:35rain suddenly begins

00:47:36pouring down

00:47:37in heavy sheets.

00:47:38I had anticipated this,

00:47:39so an umbrella

00:47:40is tucked safely

00:47:41in my bag.

00:47:42Pulling it out,

00:47:43I open it

00:47:43and step out

00:47:44into the downpour.

00:47:46Catherine,

00:47:47wait!

00:47:47Can I share

00:47:48your umbrella with you?

00:47:49No.

00:47:51I turn around

00:47:52and see Jolene

00:47:53huddled beneath my umbrella.

00:47:56Without another word,

00:47:57I turn and walk away.

00:47:59Before long,

00:48:00the rain soaks her

00:48:01to the bone.

00:48:04Catherine,

00:48:05it's pouring out here.

00:48:07I just wanted

00:48:08to walk with you

00:48:09for a bit.

00:48:10Jolene is left

00:48:10standing there,

00:48:11stunned.

00:48:15I already said no.

00:48:17My umbrella's

00:48:18too small for two.

00:48:20And honestly,

00:48:20I'm not comfortable

00:48:21being that close

00:48:22to anyone.

00:48:23Jolene is furious.

00:48:25A sleek black car

00:48:26rolls to a slow stop

00:48:27at the gate.

00:48:28It's Austin's.

00:48:33Austin!

00:48:36Jolene,

00:48:36how did you get

00:48:37this soaked?

00:48:38Didn't you bring

00:48:38an umbrella?

00:48:39You'll catch a cold

00:48:40like this.

00:48:41He glances out

00:48:42the window

00:48:42just in time

00:48:43to see me walking

00:48:44past holding

00:48:45my umbrella.

00:48:46Catherine,

00:48:47you had an umbrella.

00:48:48Why didn't you

00:48:48share it with Jolene?

00:48:57Do you really think

00:48:58we're close enough

00:48:58for that?

00:49:01Catherine!

00:49:02Jolene is family.

00:49:03Look at her.

00:49:04She's drenched.

00:49:05You had an umbrella

00:49:06and didn't even

00:49:07think to help her?

00:49:11Do you have any idea

00:49:12how cruel that looks?

00:49:13Exactly!

00:49:14Jolene soaked

00:49:15because Catherine

00:49:15abandoned her.

00:49:16She went way too far!

00:49:18Before I speak,

00:49:20a nearby student

00:49:21steps in.

00:49:22Please,

00:49:22I saw Jolene

00:49:23give her umbrella

00:49:23to someone else

00:49:24just to look noble

00:49:24and then she tried

00:49:25to free float it

00:49:26off Catherine.

00:49:27Catherine didn't

00:49:27want to share,

00:49:28so what?

00:49:28Stopped trying

00:49:29to guilt trip her.

00:49:31So what?

00:49:32The rain was pouring.

00:49:34Sharing wouldn't

00:49:35kill her.

00:49:36Catherine's.

00:49:36Catherine's just

00:49:37being selfish.

00:49:38Paige, please,

00:49:39you don't even

00:49:39know what happened.

00:49:40Jolene gave her

00:49:40umbrella away

00:49:41just to look generous.

00:49:42Austin,

00:49:43that's not what happened.

00:49:44I only wanted

00:49:45to get closer to her.

00:49:47I didn't realize

00:49:48she disliked me

00:49:49so much.

00:49:50Keep your little

00:49:50performances away

00:49:51from me.

00:49:52Don't test me.

00:50:06In the classroom,

00:50:07I sit quietly

00:50:08at my desk,

00:50:08flipping through

00:50:09my notes.

00:50:10Catherine,

00:50:10I heard Jolene's

00:50:11really sick today.

00:50:12She didn't come

00:50:12to class.

00:50:13Rain and cold,

00:50:14it's pretty normal

00:50:15to feel under

00:50:15the weather afterward.

00:50:16A loud commotion

00:50:17erupts at the

00:50:18classroom entrance.

00:50:19Feel satisfied

00:50:20now, Catherine?

00:50:21Jolene's in the

00:50:22hospital with a

00:50:23high fever,

00:50:23all because you

00:50:24wouldn't share

00:50:24your stupid umbrella.

00:50:26I calmly shut

00:50:27my notebook

00:50:27and rise to my feet.

00:50:29A chilly,

00:50:30razor-thin smile

00:50:31forms on my lips.

00:50:33She's sick,

00:50:34and that's supposed

00:50:35to be my responsibility?

00:50:36Is this seriously

00:50:37your reaction?

00:50:38Jolene's hospitalized,

00:50:39and you're standing

00:50:40here tossing out

00:50:41sarcastic comments?

00:50:42And what exactly

00:50:43does her hospital

00:50:43stale have to do

00:50:44with me?

00:50:44Did I make her

00:50:45give away her

00:50:46umbrella,

00:50:46or did I physically

00:50:47send her into the storm?

00:50:49You!

00:50:50And honestly,

00:50:51if she were sick

00:50:52enough to be hospitalized,

00:50:53would she really

00:50:54have the energy

00:50:55to publicize it

00:50:55to the entire school?

00:50:57I asked her personally.

00:50:59Great.

00:51:00Tell me which

00:51:00hospital she's at.

00:51:02I'll arrange

00:51:02for top clear

00:51:03specialists to check

00:51:04on her.

00:51:05I begin dialing,

00:51:07and Paige

00:51:07immediately panics.

00:51:09No!

00:51:10You don't have

00:51:10to do that!

00:51:11Jolene said

00:51:12she only needs rest.

00:51:15How did you

00:51:16figure out

00:51:16she was faking?

00:51:18I've watched her

00:51:19pull the same act

00:51:20more times

00:51:21than I can count.

00:51:22On the weekend,

00:51:24Claudian asks me

00:51:25to go shopping

00:51:26with her.

00:51:27We pause

00:51:28in front of

00:51:29dessert shop,

00:51:31across from

00:51:31a famous

00:51:32brand boutique.

00:51:33Jolene is there,

00:51:34too.

00:51:37Oh,

00:51:38look who it is,

00:51:39Catherine!

00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!

00:51:41Shopping, too,

00:51:42huh?

00:51:43What's the matter?

00:51:44Didn't expect to see you

00:51:45in a place like this?

00:51:46This isn't some place

00:51:47for just anyone.

00:51:48Bet that ice cream

00:51:50cost you half a day's wages?

00:51:51Jolene steps forward

00:51:53and accidentally

00:51:54splashes her coffee

00:51:55onto my white dress.

00:51:57Oh no,

00:51:58Catherine!

00:51:59I'm so sorry!

00:52:00I tripped!

00:52:01I didn't mean to!

00:52:03I look down

00:52:03at the stains

00:52:04on my dress,

00:52:05my eyes

00:52:06turning cold.

00:52:10Do you even know

00:52:11how much this dress costs?

00:52:13It's just a dress.

00:52:14I can buy you

00:52:15a new one.

00:52:18She pulls

00:52:19$200

00:52:19and tosses

00:52:20them at me.

00:52:22Use this

00:52:23to get yourself

00:52:24a new one.

00:52:24I look at

00:52:25the ice cream

00:52:26in my hand

00:52:32and press it

00:52:33onto Jolene's face.

00:52:36Oops!

00:52:36Sorry!

00:52:37My hand just slipped.

00:52:39It's just a little mess.

00:52:41A quick wipe

00:52:42and you'll be fine.

00:52:43Jolene screams.

00:52:44Ah!

00:52:45Woo!

00:52:46Catherine!

00:52:47What on earth

00:52:48are you doing?

00:52:49Are you crazy?

00:52:50Anne steps out

00:52:51of the fitting room

00:52:52and gasps

00:52:52at Jolene's appearance.

00:52:59Jolene!

00:53:00What on earth

00:53:01happened to you?

00:53:03Mom,

00:53:04it's all my fault.

00:53:05I accidentally

00:53:06spilled coffee

00:53:07on Catherine's dress.

00:53:09I've already

00:53:09paid her back,

00:53:10but she's acting

00:53:12like it's not enough.

00:53:18Catherine,

00:53:19why are you

00:53:20picking on

00:53:20Jolene again?

00:53:23Anne pulls

00:53:24a thick wad

00:53:25of cash

00:53:25from her purse.

00:53:27Catherine,

00:53:28don't push this

00:53:29further.

00:53:30If it's money

00:53:30you want,

00:53:31apologize to

00:53:32Jolene.

00:53:33Not nearly enough.

00:53:36Yes,

00:53:37this is our

00:53:37anniversary edition.

00:53:39It retails

00:53:39for $180,000

00:53:41and is completely

00:53:42sold out.

00:53:43Either pay me

00:53:43three times

00:53:44its value,

00:53:45or I'll report

00:53:46this as

00:53:48intentional property

00:53:49damage to the

00:53:49police.

00:53:50Who said

00:53:51we wouldn't

00:53:51compensate?

00:53:52She reluctantly

00:53:53writes a check.

00:53:56Take it.

00:53:57This is like

00:53:58burning money.

00:53:59Next time,

00:54:00I won't bother

00:54:00negotiating.

00:54:01I'll go straight

00:54:02to the police.

00:54:03I feel a deep,

00:54:04satisfying pleasure.

00:54:06$540,000.

00:54:07That's going to

00:54:08sting for a while.

00:54:09Back in the

00:54:10Brown family,

00:54:11I let you

00:54:11walk all over

00:54:12me.

00:54:12I swallowed

00:54:13every insult.

00:54:14Not anymore.

00:54:15From now on,

00:54:16every single

00:54:17debt gets

00:54:18paid back

00:54:19with interest.

00:54:20After the

00:54:20meal,

00:54:21I wave goodbye

00:54:22to Claudian

00:54:22at the restaurant's

00:54:23entrance.

00:54:28I've only

00:54:29walked a short

00:54:30distance when

00:54:30a terrified

00:54:31scream cuts

00:54:32through the air.

00:54:33Help!

00:54:35Someone help!

00:54:36Is there a

00:54:37doctor here?

00:54:37I turn towards

00:54:38the commotion

00:54:39and see a

00:54:40well-dressed

00:54:40woman kneeling

00:54:41beside an

00:54:42elderly woman

00:54:42who has

00:54:43collapsed.

00:54:44I push

00:54:45through the

00:54:45crowd and

00:54:45kneel down

00:54:46to examine

00:54:47her.

00:54:51Ma'am,

00:54:52don't panic.

00:54:53Does she

00:54:53have a history

00:54:54of heart

00:54:54disease?

00:54:55Yes.

00:54:56She has

00:54:57coronary

00:54:57heart disease.

00:55:00I reach

00:55:01into my bag

00:55:02and pull out

00:55:03a small bottle

00:55:03of nitroglycerin

00:55:04pills.

00:55:06I slide a

00:55:07tablet under

00:55:07her tongue

00:55:08and begin

00:55:08CPR.

00:55:21After several

00:55:23long minutes,

00:55:24the elderly

00:55:24woman lets

00:55:25out a faint

00:55:26groan.

00:55:28Paramedics

00:55:29arrive and

00:55:29take over.

00:55:31Very

00:55:32professional.

00:55:33You've

00:55:33brought us

00:55:34precious

00:55:34time.

00:55:36Which

00:55:36hospital do

00:55:37you work

00:55:37at?

00:55:37I have to

00:55:38thank you

00:55:38properly.

00:55:44I'm still a

00:55:45student.

00:55:45Helping people

00:55:46is just

00:55:46something I

00:55:47have to do.

00:55:53I quietly

00:55:54gather my

00:55:55things and

00:55:56slip away

00:55:56while the

00:55:57crowd watches

00:55:57with admiration.

00:55:59The next

00:55:59morning,

00:56:00I intentionally

00:56:01leave home

00:56:01early,

00:56:02but the

00:56:02Browns are

00:56:03already lying

00:56:04in wait at

00:56:04the school

00:56:05entrance.

00:56:07Catherine!

00:56:10Jolene

00:56:11plunges to

00:56:11hug me,

00:56:12but I

00:56:16with me.

00:56:17Your grandmother's

00:56:18to see you.

00:56:23Sorry, but I

00:56:24don't really know

00:56:24you people.

00:56:25We don't have

00:56:26time for your

00:56:26nonsense.

00:56:27You're coming

00:56:27home with us

00:56:28today.

00:56:31Since it's the

00:56:32busiest time for

00:56:33students arriving,

00:56:34a bunch of

00:56:35curious students

00:56:36have already

00:56:37stopped to

00:56:37watch.

00:56:40A sleek

00:56:41black Bentley

00:56:42eases to a

00:56:42stop right

00:56:43beside us.

00:56:44The window

00:56:45lowers smoothly

00:56:46and Liam's

00:56:47sharply

00:56:47contoured face

00:57:06They're

00:57:07irrelevant.

00:57:12waiting for

00:57:13his response,

00:57:14I simply

00:57:14turn and

00:57:15leave.

00:57:18The browns

00:58:09Before I can

00:58:10take two

00:58:11steps, a

00:58:52history.

00:58:55I stride

00:58:56toward the

00:58:56highest tier

00:58:57private suite

00:58:57without looking

00:58:58back.

01:00:26on my own terms your grandmother returned you heard her birthday banquet is next week

01:00:34she actually called me earlier and told me to ask you to come auntie i'm no longer part of

01:00:40the brown family catherine please she's getting older just give her this one courtesy all right

01:00:49i'll show up on time i exhale slowly so this is happening no dodging it now my eyes move back

01:00:55to

01:00:56the gemstone in its wooden box it would make a clean elegant birthday gift the night of amelia's

01:01:02birthday banquet has come the brown estate glows with extravagant decorations

01:01:09i stroll in wearing simple casual clothes jolene drifts graciously through the guests in a blush

01:01:16pink couture gown low whispers swirl around the gathered guests about how shabby i look

01:01:23lawrence's and anna's expressions grow cold and tense isn't that the one who broke ties

01:01:28with the browns and she just shows up to grandma's birthday like that wild or not she's stunning

01:01:38those sharp features and that presence can't be ignored jolene steps forward her smile dazzling and

01:01:45perfectly practiced grandma happy birthday i know how much you adore gemstones so i asked the auction house

01:01:52to find something really special for you a rare warm gem

01:02:00and you katherine what did you bring i reach into my black bag and pull out a small wooden box

01:02:09as i open the lid the room falls deathly silent nestled inside is another gemstone

01:02:18to give grandma a fake that's just disrespectful katherine fake katherine don't you realize how

01:02:27humiliating this is for our family amid the crowd's murmurs and accusations i stay composed

01:02:41you say mine's a fake on what proof maybe yours is the counterfeit isn't it obvious this gem

01:02:49is incredibly rare there can't be two exactly the same mine's been authenticated by several experts

01:02:59it's the real deal a knowing smile curves my lips as i bring my gem up and lightly press it

01:03:06against an

01:03:07aliyah's wrist this is it they say a genuine warm gem changes color depending on its wearer's vitality

01:03:14it's a unique almost magical trait why don't we test jolene's gem the same way

01:03:23she tried to pin it on katherine when it was her own gift that was false that's impossible i paid

01:03:2810

01:03:28million for this at the luxurious auction house i even have the receipt and certificate to prove it

01:03:34pulling out her phone she quickly dials the number what she hears makes her eyes widened in shock

01:03:39just then someone glances at their phone and blurts out the luxurious auction house director

01:03:44got hooked on gambling jolene stumbles backward dropping her phone with a loud clatter today is

01:03:52my birthday celebration let's put an end to this now jolene acted with good intentions but was misled

01:03:59for the very first time anala looks at me without that usual air of disappointment

01:04:07you know katherine i actually like this

01:04:14jolene bites down hard on her lower lip her nails digging into her palm justine approaches me

01:04:23katherine i'm sorry about everything that went down earlier

01:04:27i'm okay you only stop feeling hurt when you stop expecting anything from anyone

01:04:34not long after friends call justina away

01:04:38a maid makes her way around offering champagne when she gets to me i decline

01:04:45the maid hurries away and comes back moments later holding a glass of juice i study the juice for a

01:04:51moment i lift the glass and drink it down in one steady guilt a few minutes pass before the same

01:04:57maid shows up again i'm so so sorry i didn't mean for this to happen she slips and the entire

01:05:05drink

01:05:06splashes across my outfit katherine i'm really sorry the staff can be a bit careless why don't

01:05:12you slip into one of my dresses i've got tons upstairs you can use the guest room to change wow

01:05:16the rules in this house are intriguing to say the least i hear every bit of the sarcasm

01:05:21sophia is practically mocking jolene who acts like she owns the place the maid exhales relieved beyond

01:05:28measure and hurries forward i start after her but pause to throw jolene one last look

01:05:34the maid leads me far inside the mansion to a guest room as soon as she leaves the door shuts

01:05:39quietly

01:05:40and i hear the lock slide into place i go over to check the window but it's stuck tight probably

01:05:48locked from the outside a strange warmth begins spreading under my skin i take a steady breath

01:05:54pull a small ceramic file from my pocket and swallow an antidote i had drunk the tampered juice simply

01:06:02because i wanted to see the full extent of jolene's trap

01:06:09a few moments later i hear faint uneven footsteps outside the door i lay down on the bed completely

01:06:17still and quiet the door creaks open slowly

01:06:24getting impatient huh don't worry sweetheart i'll take real good care of you but suddenly my eyes snap

01:06:32wide open

01:06:36the scream tears from him he crumples to the floor in an instant folding over and wrigling on the carpet

01:06:45i calmly step over him and shut the door behind me i ease into the corner just outside ready to

01:06:51watch

01:06:51not long after jolene appears sneaking cautiously down the hall

01:06:58she presses her ear against the door then pulls it wide open

01:07:11she barely has time to register it before the man lunges at her

01:07:18stay away get off me man pretty girl the other one took a heap but you you'll do just fine

01:07:26don't you dare touch me i'm a brown touch me and you're dead

01:07:33oh man yeah that just makes it way more interesting

01:07:44after closing the door behind me i calmly make my way back to the banquet hall

01:07:50sophia who had earlier stood by my side approaches with a warm smile and extends her hand i'm sophia

01:07:56flynn how about we get better acquainted katherine brown it's a pleasure to meet you about 15 minutes

01:08:02later a sudden disturbance breaks out outside the banquet hall the crowd moves towards the guest room

01:08:10as they get closer heavy breathing and a woman's desperate screams reach their ears

01:08:18ann's face drains of color what are you waiting for get that door down now a few strong servants

01:08:25step up and smash the door open inside the shocking scene unfolds for everyone to see

01:08:33jolene her hair mussy and clothes rumpled is pinned down by an unfamiliar man seeing the crowd at the

01:08:40doorway she breaks down in tears mom it was katherine she tricked me she planned all of this

01:08:50despite the accusations i don't flinch jolene where are you getting this from the maid ruined my dress

01:08:56and you sent her to fetch me some clothes but i waited ages and no one came so i left

01:09:01when i left

01:09:02the room was empty i have no idea how you ended up here how could you be so heartless jolene

01:09:09is your

01:09:09sister i was with miss flynn in the banquet hall the entire time many guests can vouch for that how

01:09:16can you

01:09:17stoop to such tactics regarding jolene we'll have a chance to question the man soon enough

01:09:27what happened today was a private family matter anyone who breathes a word of it will be making an

01:09:32enemy of the brown family anne grabs her trembling daughter and practically drags jolene out

01:09:37the man is also hauled away

01:09:44what a night you handled that like a pro

01:09:50it was simply responding to what she started if she had stayed in her lane none of this would have

01:09:56happened time after time jolene tried to set me up did she really think i was still the same

01:10:02katherine who'd just take it lying down what happened tonight she brought it on herself

01:10:09morning sunlight pours in through the large window casting soft highlights across his sharp jawline

01:10:14mr warren warning let's get started without hesitation he reaches for the buttons of his

01:10:19shirt and pulls it up exposing his bare chest i slip into professional mode pick up my medical kit

01:10:26and move to his side need a hand handling the browns my hands work with practiced confidence

01:10:33not right now i've got it covered once the session wraps up i'm packing away my tools when liam

01:10:41slowly pushes off the sofa he stands steady clear-headed you're healing well you're really

01:10:49skilled at this thanks keep this up and one more session and you'll be good as new once i'm fully

01:10:54better what do you want in exchange you've already paid for the treatments but if i ever need help

01:11:00down the road i hope you'll remember the understanding we have today sounds fair just then a knock comes

01:11:06at the door and a maid enters sir mr cassius warren has arrived his tone turns icy in an instant

01:11:12the

01:11:12smile that had just been there disappears completely tell him to wait for me in the living room when i

01:11:17enter the living room a man in a dark gray suit glances my way he appears to be in his

01:11:2350s sharing some

01:11:24resemblance with liam our eyes lock for a moment i simply give a small nod and exit smoothly

01:11:37the intense almost threatening look from that middle-aged man has set off warning bells in my mind

01:11:46i let out a soft sigh i deliberately instruct my driver to take several detours just to make sure no

01:11:52one is tailing me before finally heading back to my apartment

01:11:59no sooner have i settled in than my phone rings it's sophia hey catherine got a minute there's this

01:12:27i'll go park the car sophia goes off to find a parking spot leaving me to make my way into

01:12:33the building

01:12:39just as i step into the lobby ready to catch the elevator up i bump on jolene

01:12:54katherine what are you doing here so you're here for the gala you have an invitation i hope whose

01:13:01little lap dog are you running wild and barking at everyone without a care

01:13:07excuse me who exactly are you insulting listen catherine you can't just waltz into this kind of

01:13:14event wearing a dress without a real invite you'll end up humiliated when security shows you the door

01:13:21come on catherine ready to head up let's not keep the others waiting

01:13:37don't pay her any mind the organizers gave me two invitations this year

01:13:41i smile back appreciating sophia's subtle way of handling things

01:14:00everyone meet my friend catherine brown i hope you'll look out for her from now on this gala really

01:14:06is slipping apparently just anyone can walk in now some people really try too hard as if showing up

01:14:12here will magically upgrade their pleas in society watch your mouth catherine is a brown have some

01:14:19respect please don't be harsh my sister doesn't attend events like this often she's just here to get

01:14:25some exposure don't go snapping photos willy-nilly if i see you flooding social media with our images just

01:14:32to boost your status i won't hesitate to sue

01:14:44if you want to play dirty i'll give you a front row seat your status comes from flaunting fake jewelries

01:14:53and what would a country girl like you possibly understand about jewelry

01:14:58that's maris core an iconic design by divina gemma from the 60s centered around a rare cushion cut

01:15:04diamond framed by a dozen emeralds the real necklace was sold at last year's veritas auction for 36

01:15:11million dollars bought anonymously i have to admit you've got an eye for quality it is lovely i'll give

01:15:19you that but the issue is that yours isn't authentic yes the center stone is about the right size but

01:15:24it's

01:15:24missing the clarity a genuine one would have they look like fresh lab made pieces you're talking

01:15:30nonsense my father gave this to me for my birthday janice don't let my sister get to you she's been

01:15:36out of touch for years she probably hasn't even seen jewelry of this caliber it's easy for her to

01:15:40misjudge i stay calm shifting my gaze to the other woman's wrist your bracelet actually has decent

01:15:47translucency but it's been chemically treated and filled with resin wearing that too long isn't good for

01:15:53your health just so you know the woman snatches her hand back going pale

01:16:00i turn to jolene your necklace is no better jolene those diamonds look fake too

01:16:08jolene's fingers shoot toward her ear but stop halfway the whole hall goes completely still

01:16:15that was savage you nailed that comeback perfectly

01:16:21i take a sip from my glass and feel not a trace of guilt fake jewelry fine wear it quietly

01:16:28and no one

01:16:29will say a word but you had to step on me to feel taller so don't blame me for exposing

01:16:34your fake

01:16:35jewelry just you wait i'm calling in a top jewelry expert right now be my guest relax janice it's a

01:16:46beautiful day there's no need to let some petty nonsense spoil it petty this isn't just about me

01:16:53wearing a fake she's insulting the honor of the whole lopez family

01:17:07the craftsmanship is extraordinary but something is off

01:17:11the cut and the color don't match the authentic mariscore

01:17:16miss lopez i'm afraid this necklace is indeed a replica what that can't be the craftsmanship is

01:17:25exceptionally convincing almost flawless but as miss brown pointed out the cutting style and the

01:17:30emerald's shade reveal subtle differences impressive eye miss brown only the most skilled experts can

01:17:36detect such subtle distinctions may i ask who has been your teacher my mentor is langston moore

01:17:44so you are the esteemed protege of mr moore an honor to meet you at last your championship at the

01:17:50last international competition was truly well deserved no wonder she spotted the fake so easily

01:17:56she's langston moore's student

01:18:00that's the world's top jewelry appraiser the lopez family really embarrassed themselves today

01:18:05i can't stay here i can't let them see me like this

01:18:18catherine when did you pick all this up you never said a word about it to any of us

01:18:25there's a lot you don't know mostly because you never bothered to ask

01:18:32catherine what have you done to jolaine now i don't know what you're talking about austin i've been

01:18:36sitting here all night and jolaine hasn't said a word to me and i'm not the one who's been sending

01:18:40her all those blue roses austin shouldn't you find out what really happened first it's catherine

01:18:46who got wrong today what about miss lopez how could you upset her and make her cry you're going

01:18:52to the lopez residence right now to apologize apologize for what telling the truth and exposing

01:18:58janice fake jewelry in front of everyone what nonsense miss lopez wouldn't be caught dead wearing

01:19:04fakes you're just making up lies to slander her mr brown miss brown's assessment is absolutely right

01:19:10this marie's core necklace is a very well-made replica and her appraisal skills surpass even mine

01:19:15isn't austin being way too biased he's not even listening to the expert i heard the browns kicked

01:19:20out their own biological daughter to make room for that adopted girl jolene how ridiculous still you

01:19:27had no right to humiliate miss lopez like that in public our families have shared a close bond for
