The Lost Heiress And Her Dear Tycoon

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!

00:00:16Let 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.

00:00:25I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me, but 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, but now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.

00:00:59Poor girl.

00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:01:04No need to hurry.

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

00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.

00:01:09No!

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

00:01:15A dozen figures dressed in black storm inside.

00:01:19If you want to live,

00:01:22stop right now.

00:01:24I 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.

00:01:36Please 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, desperate pleas, and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.

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

00:02:10Five 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?

00:02:29I 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,

00:02:52showering her with care.

00:02:53I close the distance,

00:02:54grab a handful of Jolene's hair,

00:02:56across the face.

00:02:58Catherine, 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.

00:03:13Me 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

00:03:21to 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

00:03:35for verification?

00:03:36Or maybe call the police?

00:03:38No!

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

00:03:41I'm sorry!

00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!

00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.

00:03:46Just drop it!

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

00:03:51Since you've chosen her,

00:03:52I'm out of here.

00:03:53In their eyes,

00:03:54I'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

00:04:02right in front of me.

00:04:05Excuse me,

00:04:05are you Miss Catherine Brown?

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

00:04:09I spot Austin coming out

00:04:11and 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,

00:04:28with a document resting in his hand.

00:04:33Is everything settled?

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

00:04:35From this moment on,

00:04:36you're my personal doctor.

00:04:37Until I'm fully healed,

00:04:38you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:40All right.

00:04:41But I have two conditions.

00:04:42First,

00:04:43I need a complete medical lab.

00:04:45Second,

00:04:45our relationship is strictly professional.

00:04:47Besides that,

00:04:48neither of us interferes in the other's life.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:53But keep this in mind.

00:04:57If your medical skills

00:04:58don'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

00:05:05and 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

00:05:11doesn't come cheap.

00:05:12Since Liam offered this,

00:05:13I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.

00:05:15Once the poison leaves his system,

00:05:17we'll go our separate ways.

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

00:05:20This room is twice the size

00:05:22of my bedroom at the Browns.

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

00:05:24A stranger gives me better lodging

00:05:26than my own family.

00:05:28I sit at the desk,

00:05:30open my laptop,

00:05:31and log into my social media.

00:05:34Soon,

00:05:34dozens of notifications flood the screen.

00:05:37Where did you run off to?

00:05:38Come back.

00:05:39Jolene isn't holding a grudge

00:05:41about you hitting her.

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

00:05:43Who picked you up?

00:05:44Stop making everything difficult.

00:05:47Just return home.

00:05:49If you walk out now,

00:05:50you better not come crawling back.

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

00:05:58Catherine,

00:05:59you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever,

00:06:02right?

00:06:03I stare at these messages

00:06:04and let out a cold laugh.

00:06:07I quickly type one simple,

00:06:10satisfying 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.

00:06:18Logging out,

00:06:18I switch to another browser

00:06:20and types in a hidden URL.

00:06:24A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen

00:06:27with 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,

00:06:41my loyal admirer.

00:06:43Catherine,

00:06:43you're actually back?

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

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

00:06:47Good.

00:06:48Oh,

00:06:49someone has been digging into your digital records.

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

00:06:54It seems Liam is already investigating me.

00:06:57Let him dig.

00:06:58Make sure the only information they find

00:07:00is exactly what I want them to see.

00:07:05The next day,

00:07:06the driver takes me shopping downtown.

00:07:14Miss,

00:07:15these are new arrivals,

00:07:17and each costs over $100,000.

00:07:22Miss Brown,

00:07:23you're here just in time.

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

00:07:29Catherine,

00:07:30what brings you here?

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

00:07:34Jolene,

00:07:35is this your sister?

00:07:36Should we tell her

00:07:37the fast fashion store next door

00:07:38is having a sale?

00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.

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

00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card

00:07:49from a top global bank.

00:07:51Catherine,

00:07:52did 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

00:08:02you were just showing Jolene to.

00:08:03What?

00:08:04I saw those first.

00:08:06Saw them first,

00:08:07but can't afford them?

00:08:09Maybe?

00:08:10Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance

00:08:12only $100,000?

00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.

00:08:15I pay and walk out.

00:08:18I watch Jolene tremble with rage,

00:08:21unable to get a word out

00:08:22and a fierce satisfaction

00:08:23courses through me.

00:08:25After all the humiliation

00:08:26I endured in the Brown family,

00:08:27this is just a small payback.

00:08:29The charity gala that weekend

00:08:31is nothing short of spectacular.

00:08:33I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine red gown,

00:08:37my makeup refined but understated.

00:08:39Tonight,

00:08:40I am not the abandoned daughter

00:08:42of 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.

00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?

00:08:54He actually showed up.

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

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

00:09:00She's stunning.

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

00:09:03I ignore the whispers.

00:09:05My eyes sweep across the hall

00:09:07and land on the Browns.

00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection,

00:09:11hanging on Austin's arm,

00:09:13playing the part of a cherished woman.

00:09:14But the moment she sees me,

00:09:16her face drains of color.

00:09:18Austin freezes too.

00:09:19He stares at me,

00:09:21unable to believe his eyes.

00:09:26Catherine,

00:09:27what 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,

00:09:46did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:49Catherine

00:09:52is with me.

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

00:09:59Jolene approaches,

00:10:00her expression dark.

00:10:02Catherine,

00:10:03when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?

00:10:05You never mentioned anything.

00:10:06And

00:10:07didn't I just see you shopping

00:10:09with another man two days ago?

00:10:10I look coldly at Jolene's face,

00:10:13trying to imply I'm a two-timer.

00:10:16Jolene,

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

00:10:18Who Liam is,

00:10:19what my relationship is with him,

00:10:22none of that is any of your business.

00:10:24Why exactly should I update you

00:10:26about my personal life?

00:10:29Jolene's expression falters,

00:10:31her eyes glistening with tears.

00:10:33Here she goes again.

00:10:36Catherine,

00:10:37that's not what I meant.

00:10:40Catherine,

00:10:40where have you been?

00:10:42Mr. Fulton,

00:10:43wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

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

00:10:47Do you have any idea

00:10:49what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:51Are you doing this

00:10:52just to retaliate

00:10:53against the Brown family?

00:10:58Do you honestly think

00:11:00I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns,

00:11:07and I meant every word.

00:11:09Excuse me.

00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:19Did you catch that?

00:11:20Liam said it himself.

00:11:22She's with him.

00:11:24This has never happened before,

00:11:26has it?

00:11:28Wait, Catherine?

00:11:30Isn't that the Brown daughter

00:11:32who was swapped at birth

00:11:33and brought back from some remote place?

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

00:11:39the Brown family drama

00:11:40might 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,

00:11:50but I know Jolene's expression

00:11:52must be priceless right now.

00:11:54The auction begins.

00:11:56One luxurious item after another

00:11:58is presented on stage.

00:12:00Beautiful work of art.

00:12:01A piece of history.

00:12:02A masterpiece.

00:12:10Dazzling.

00:12:11Priceless.

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

00:12:16No matter how valuable,

00:12:18they're just stones.

00:12:19Just then,

00:12:20I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:22It's Jolene.

00:12:23Austin,

00:12:24this necklace is stunning.

00:12:26I really like it.

00:12:29Austin understands immediately.

00:12:32His eyes grow determined.

00:12:34Same as always.

00:12:36Whatever Jolene wants,

00:12:38Austin gives her.

00:12:43Once I was jealous.

00:12:45Now,

00:12:46I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:50Going once.

00:12:51Going twice.

00:12:53Just as the host prepares

00:12:54to declare it sold,

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

00:12:5850 million.

00:12:5950 million.

00:13:01Sold.

00:13:02Congratulations,

00:13:03Mr. Warren.

00:13:05Liam walks up to the stage

00:13:06and claims the necklace.

00:13:13Then,

00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,

00:13:15he returns to me

00:13:17and fastens the necklace

00:13:18around 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

00:13:34to look away from me.

00:13:36I reach up

00:13:37and touch the cool gem

00:13:38against 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.

00:13:51Catherine,

00:13:51you really are something.

00:13:53A few days away

00:13:53and you've already

00:13:54hooked onto Liam.

00:13:55Nothing as impressive

00:13:57as your lifelong mastery

00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.

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

00:14:02Cut it out.

00:14:02There's no audience here,

00:14:03so no need to pretend.

00:14:05Jolene spots Declan approaching

00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,

00:14:09splashing juice

00:14:10onto her own dress.

00:14:11Catherine,

00:14:12even if you dislike me,

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

00:14:14Throwing juice on me?

00:14:17What happened?

00:14:18Declan,

00:14:18it's okay.

00:14:19I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:22Catherine,

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

00:14:24Jolene 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

00:14:32onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:34There,

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

00:14:36And I only take responsibility

00:14:38for my own actions.

00:14:40Jolene is stunned.

00:14:42Declan freezes.

00:14:44Seems I arrived just after

00:14:46all the excitement ended.

00:14:48Quite the lesson

00:14:49in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:51Mr. Warren,

00:14:52this 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

00:15:12to ghostly pale.

00:15:14Let's go.

00:15:15The atmosphere here is suffocating.

00:15:17A fierce satisfaction

00:15:19rising in my chest.

00:15:20This time,

00:15:21I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:23Back in the Brown family,

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

00:15:26And all it got me

00:15:26was them pushing harder every time.

00:15:28Now,

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

00:15:36The following morning,

00:15:37I walk into the living area

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

00:15:53Good morning.

00:15:55Good morning.

00:15:57I head to the kitchen

00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:04Just then,

00:16:06Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty

00:16:15who stunned everyone last night?

00:16:17That's Catherine Brown,

00:16:19my new personal doctor.

00:16:22You're serious?

00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough

00:16:25that I can't ignore it.

00:16:28Mr. Moreno,

00:16:29perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:31Your dark under eyes

00:16:32and shortness of breath

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

00:16:35Winfred's face flushes immediately.

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

00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?

00:16:41Miss Brown,

00:16:42I'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

00:16:52many times before.

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

00:16:56Winred,

00:16:57maybe you ought to let

00:16:58Dr. Brown give you a prescription.

00:17:02Liam,

00:17:02are you kidding me?

00:17:03This girl-

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

00:17:04She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:06Right now,

00:17:07she'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,

00:17:17I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:20Liam pulls his shirt up,

00:17:22exposing his toned chest.

00:17:25I pull out the silver needles

00:17:27and insert them with speed and precision.

00:17:34When the last needle is inserted,

00:17:36Liam's body shivers.

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

00:17:46What did you just do to him,

00:17:47Dr. 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,

00:18:02you'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

00:18:12if I can help with his health.

00:18:16I go back to my room

00:18:18and return with a bottle of pills.

00:18:21These are pills for male vitality.

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

00:18:25$100,000?

00:18:27Are these pills made of solid gold?

00:18:29The ingredients are rare

00:18:31and the process is complicated.

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

00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:38A sports car can be repaired,

00:18:39but if your health fails,

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

00:18:44The following morning,

00:18:46just as I prepare to leave,

00:18:47my 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,

00:18:59cutting 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,

00:19:15becoming 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,

00:19:38do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?

00:19:40Are you all finished?

00:19:42First,

00:19:44Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:47Second,

00:19:48even if there were something else,

00:19:50it's none of your business.

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

00:19:55You said you cut ties,

00:19:57so 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,

00:20:12I've been recording all your insults,

00:20:15threats,

00:20:15and schemes to grab the shares.

00:20:17Keep pushing me,

00:20:18and I won't hesitate to hand this over to the press and the law.

00:20:24I put my phone away,

00:20:26feeling nothing.

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

00:20:32Now it's your turn to taste

00:20:33what 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,

00:20:46a 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.

00:20:55Her face lined with wrinkles.

00:20:58Her 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,

00:21:06and you owe me half a million.

00:21:08If you don't pay up,

00:21:09I'll make a scene outside your place every single day.

00:21:12If you need cash,

00:21:14ask your real daughter, Jolene.

00:21:15I raised you all those years,

00:21:17so you should compensate me.

00:21:19You ungrateful brat!

00:21:22Stay out of my way.

00:21:23Otherwise,

00:21:24I won't hesitate to involve the police

00:21:26and reopening the case about you switching infants.

00:21:29You...

00:21:29Don't do anything rash.

00:21:31I'll be going now.

00:21:32Bridget scurries off in panic.

00:21:38Just then,

00:21:39a sleek black Rolls Royce glides to a stop beside me.

00:21:43The window lowers,

00:21:45revealing Liam's handsome face.

00:21:48Do you need a hand?

00:21:49No, it's nothing serious.

00:21:51I'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,

00:21:59but 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

00:22:13let others push her around.

00:22:16Anyone who wants to come after me

00:22:18had better think twice.

00:22:21On the weekend,

00:22:23Gerard asks to meet me at Harborview Genie,

00:22:26a popular restaurant.

00:22:31Catherine?

00:22:32I turn around,

00:22:33and my eyes fall on Jaleen,

00:22:35standing with the Browns and the Fultons.

00:22:38Did you hear we'd be here

00:22:39and decide to show up just to cause a scene?

00:22:42Mr. Brown,

00:22:43I'm here for the food.

00:22:45Just then,

00:22:46a clear voice cuts through the tension.

00:22:50Miss Catherine Brown,

00:22:52you're here.

00:22:53Welcome.

00:22:53Please follow me.

00:22:54Everyone stares in shock

00:22:56as I walk toward the most private,

00:22:58rarely accessible suite

00:22:59in the entire restaurant.

00:23:01How is she getting in there?

00:23:03There must be some mistake.

00:23:06I push open the suite door,

00:23:08and Gerard immediately rises from his seat.

00:23:11Catherine,

00:23:12you made it.

00:23:13Gerard tells me his uncle

00:23:15has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

00:23:17He says the required surgery

00:23:18carries 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,

00:23:39Gerald leans forward

00:23:39and asks if I need help with anything.

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

00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,

00:23:46but it must be extremely quiet and private,

00:23:49with top-tier security.

00:23:50I'll handle it.

00:23:51I'll find something perfect for you.

00:23:53Oh, and you're starting at Aurelis University

00:23:54next 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

00:24:03and taking care of some personal business.

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

00:24:10The manager hands me

00:24:12an exclusive premium membership card

00:24:14saying all my expenses here

00:24:16will 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,

00:24:25so 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?

00:24:49Mom, I'm fine.

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

00:24:53I was worried about her,

00:24:55but she had me pushed away.

00:24:57What?

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

00:25:01That ungrateful girl!

00:25:03Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:06I saw it too.

00:25:08The manager was treating Catherine

00:25:10with a lot of respect.

00:25:12Yes.

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

00:25:16Catherine is clearly in the high circles.

00:25:18No wonder she's trying to distance herself from us.

00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.

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

00:25:36Jolene'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,

00:25:56she turn around and her smile freezes.

00:25:59It's her.

00:26:01Ah!

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.

00:26:30Her 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.

00:26:47I 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.

00:27:54I 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!

00:28:10Total beauty and brains!

00:28:12Who 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.

00:28:24Jolene 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?

00:28:34She's probably pulling stunts she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:37Exactly.

00:28:38Everyone 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.

00:28:53I'm not going to warn you twice.

00:28:55Hands to yourselves.

00:28:59Catherine!

00:29:00You 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.

00:29:18Not mine.

00:29:20Stop 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.

00:29:40I stopped by Aurelius University to check in.

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

00:29:46You'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, unbuttoning his shirt as he moves.

00:30:14His long fingers loosen the fabric, revealing 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, Liam strips down to his briefs and eases himself into the steaming water.

00:30:36Though composed moments ago, my eyes flicker briefly.

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

00:30:44Why 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, I head to the lab to find Lombert.

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, but 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, but 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, I don't know what you're trying to do with these accusations,

00:31:43but I've seen enough to know true talent when 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 the first time around.

00:31:53Tell me, how could anyone possibly fake that level of understanding?

00:32:03Professor 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, I 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.

00:32:45I'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?

00:33:16How pathetic.

00:33:18Oh, 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.

00:34:06I don't wear other people's shoes.

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

00:34:14I slowed my movements deliberately, lifted my foot, and 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, comes with a unique serial number and the designer's initials.

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

00:34:35It can't be.

00:34:37But 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.

00:34:49It's empty.

00:34:54Impossible!

00:34:55My shoes are real!

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

00:34:58You can barely see it now!

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

00:35:11Want to check right now?

00:35:12No!

00:35:13That 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.

00:35:25After 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.

00:35:57Catherine, 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, Future'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.

00:37:16Mr. 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, it'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.

00:38:14You 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,

00:38:48Catherine?

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?

00:39:04Are 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,

00:39:14I'm pretty sure I know my own address.

00:39:16Your home?

00:39:16Wait,

00:39:17are you working here?

00:39:19Like on the staff?

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

00:39:22Jolene,

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?

00:39:30Declan 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

00:39:38and pull out an access card.

00:39:43Tapping 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

00:40:00was shattered.

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

00:40:05The prize is huge.

00:40:07Feeling 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,

00:40:39I drive towards the racetrack in the suburb.

00:40:55I sign that name.

00:40:57The one they both dread

00:40:59and 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

00:41:19for 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

00:41:41for 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,

00:42:06pathetic 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 Catherine 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

00:42:30in the first round.

00:42:33The 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

00:42:48of my skill.

00:42:54I flow through every bed

00:42:56as if I designed them myself.

00:42:59It's Yvera!

00:43:00She's really

00:43:01the legendary Yvera!

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

00:43:29and pull off my helmet.

00:43:30my ponytail swinging in the breeze.

00:43:35My face stays calm,

00:43:37showing no excitement.

00:43:47You...

00:43:48You're really Yvera?

00:43:54Tell 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 Jackston

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

00:44:18I never wanted to flaunt

00:44:20being Yvera.

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

00:45:31do you have in your life?

00:45:32This woman is pure magic.

00:45:33Told you.

00:45:34I knew even Liam couldn't stay calm

00:45:36after this.

00:45:53Catherine,

00:45:55just how much are you still hiding?

00:46:01The next day,

00:46:02I walk into the classroom.

00:46:06Catherine,

00:46:07I 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.

00:46:17You 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

00:46:49to be hurtful.

00:46:51Paige was only trying

00:46:52to warn you.

00:46:53The ointments

00:46:54you're handing out

00:46:55aren't officially approved.

00:46:56If Claudian's condition

00:46:58gets worse,

00:46:59that could cause

00:47:00a big problem.

00:47:01It's to heal,

00:47:03not harm.

00:47:04Why do you jump

00:47:05to conclusions

00:47:05without a shred of proof?

00:47:11Tell me,

00:47:12have you ever actually

00:47:13tested these 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

00:47:20full 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

00:47:35wraps 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

00:47:44and step out

00:47:44into the downpour.

00:47:46Catherine, wait!

00:47:48Can 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

00:47:54my umbrella.

00:47:56Without another word,

00:47:57I turn and walk away.

00:47:59Before long,

00:48:01the rain soaks her

00:48:02to the bone.

00:48:04Catherine,

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

00:48:07I just wanted to walk

00:48:08with you for a bit.

00:48:10Jolene is left

00:48:10standing there,

00:48:12stunned.

00:48:15I already said no.

00:48:17My umbrella's too small

00:48:18for two.

00:48:20And honestly,

00:48:21I'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

00:48:39an umbrella?

00:48:39You'll catch a cold

00:48:40like this.

00:48:41He glances out

00:48:42the window just in time

00:48:43to see me walking past

00:48:44holding my umbrella.

00:48:46Catherine,

00:48:47you had an umbrella.

00:48:48Why didn't you share

00:48:49it with Jolene?

00:48:57Do you really think

00:48:58we're close enough

00:48:59for 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 think

00:49:07to help her?

00:49:11Do you have any idea

00:49:12how cruel that looks?

00:49:13Exactly!

00:49:14Jolene's soaked

00:49:15because Catherine

00:49:16abandoned her.

00:49:16She went way too far!

00:49:18Before I speak,

00:49:19a 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 off Catherine.

00:49:27Catherine didn't want

00:49:27to share, so what?

00:49:29Stop trying to guilt trip her.

00:49:31So what?

00:49:32The rain was pouring!

00:49:34Sharing wouldn't kill her.

00:49:36Catherine's.

00:49:36Catherine's just

00:49:37being selfish.

00:49:38Paige, please.

00:49:39You don't even know

00:49:39what happened.

00:49:40Jolene gave her umbrella

00:49:41away just 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 so much.

00:49:50Keep your little performances

00:49:51away from me.

00:49:52Don't test me.

00:50:06In the classroom,

00:50:07I sit quietly at my desk,

00:50:09flipping through my notes.

00:50:10Catherine,

00:50:10I heard Jolene's

00:50:11really sick today.

00:50:12She didn't come to class.

00:50:13Rain and cold,

00:50:14it's pretty normal

00:50:15to feel under the weather

00:50:15afterward.

00:50:16A loud commotion erupts

00:50:17at the classroom entrance.

00:50:20Feel satisfied now,

00:50:21Catherine?

00:50:22Jolene's in the hospital

00:50:23with a high fever,

00:50:24all because you wouldn't

00:50:24share your stupid umbrella.

00:50:26I calmly shut my 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,

00:50:40and you're standing here

00:50:40tossing out sarcastic comments?

00:50:42And what exactly

00:50:43does her hospital stale

00:50:44have to do with me?

00:50:45Did I make her

00:50:45give away her umbrella,

00:50:46or did I physically

00:50:48send her into the storm?

00:50:49You!

00:50:50And honestly,

00:50:51if she were sick enough

00:50:52to be hospitalized,

00:50:53would she really have

00:50:54the energy to publicize

00:50:55it to the entire school?

00:50:57I asked her personally.

00:50:59Great.

00:51:00Tell me which hospital

00:51:01she's at.

00:51:02I'll arrange for

00:51:03top clear specialists

00:51:04to check on her.

00:51:05I begin dialing,

00:51:07and Paige immediately panics.

00:51:09No!

00:51:10You don't have to do that!

00:51:11Jolene said

00:51:12she only needs rest.

00:51:15How did you figure out

00:51:17she was faking?

00:51:18I've watched her pull

00:51:19the same act

00:51:20more times than I can count.

00:51:23On the weekend,

00:51:24Claudian asks me

00:51:25to go shopping with her.

00:51:28We pause in front

00:51:29of dessert shop,

00:51:31across from a famous

00:51:32brand boutique.

00:51:33Jolene is there, too.

00:51:38Oh, look who it is, Catherine!

00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!

00:51:41Shopping, too, huh?

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.

00:51:49Bet that ice cream

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

00:51:52Jolene steps forward

00:51:53and accidentally splashes

00:51:55her coffee

00:51:55onto my white dress.

00:51:58Oh, no, Catherine!

00:51:59I'm so sorry!

00:52:00I tripped!

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

00:52:03I look down

00:52:04at the stains on my dress,

00:52:05my eyes turning 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 a new one.

00:52:18She pulls $200

00:52:19and tosses them at me.

00:52:23Use this

00:52:23to get yourself a new one.

00:52:25I look at the ice cream

00:52:26in my hand

00:52:32and press it

00:52:33onto Jolene's face.

00:52:36Oops!

00:52:37Sorry!

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.

00:52:46Catherine.

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 spilled coffee

00:53:07on Catherine's dress.

00:53:09I've already paid her back,

00:53:10but she's acting

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

00:53:18Catherine,

00:53:19why are you picking

00:53:20on Jolene again?

00:53:23Anne pulls a thick

00:53:24wad of cash

00:53:25from her purse.

00:53:27Catherine,

00:53:29don't push this further.

00:53:30If it's money you want,

00:53:31apologize to Jolene.

00:53:33Not nearly enough.

00:53:36Yes,

00:53:37this is our anniversary edition.

00:53:39It retails for $180,000

00:53:41and is completely sold out.

00:53:43Either pay me

00:53:44three times its value

00:53:45or I'll report this

00:53:47as intentional property damage

00:53:49to the police.

00:53:50Who said we wouldn't compensate?

00:53:52She reluctantly writes a check.

00:53:56Take it.

00:53:57This is like burning money.

00:53:59Next time,

00:54:00I won't bother negotiating.

00:54:01I'll go straight to the police.

00:54:03I feel a deep,

00:54:04satisfying pleasure.

00:54:06$540,000.

00:54:07That's going to sting for a while.

00:54:09Back in the Brown family,

00:54:11I let you walk all over me.

00:54:12I swallowed every insult.

00:54:14Not anymore.

00:54:15From now on,

00:54:17every single debt

00:54:18gets paid back with interest.

00:54:20After the meal,

00:54:21I wave goodbye

00:54:22to Claudian

00:54:22at the restaurant's entrance.

00:54:28I've only walked

00:54:29a short distance

00:54:30when a terrified scream

00:54:32cuts through the air.

00:54:35Someone help!

00:54:36Is there a doctor here?

00:54:38I turn towards the commotion

00:54:39and see a well-dressed woman

00:54:41kneeling beside

00:54:41an elderly woman

00:54:42who has collapsed.

00:54:44Wake up!

00:54:44I push through the crowd

00:54:45and kneel down

00:54:46to examine her.

00:54:51Ma'am, don't panic.

00:54:53Does she have a history

00:54:54of heart disease?

00:54:55Yes.

00:54:56She has coronary heart disease.

00:55:00I reach into my bag

00:55:02and pull out a small bottle

00:55:03of nitroglycerin pills.

00:55:06I slide a tablet

00:55:07under her tongue

00:55:08and begin CPR.

00:55:21After several long minutes,

00:55:24the elderly woman

00:55:25lets out a faint groan.

00:55:28Paramedics arrive

00:55:29and take over.

00:55:31Very professional.

00:55:33You've brought us

00:55:34precious time.

00:55:36Which hospital

00:55:37do you work at?

00:55:37I have to thank you properly.

00:55:44I'm still a student.

00:55:46Helping people

00:55:46is just something

00:55:47I have to do.

00:55:54I quietly gather my things

00:55:56and slip away

00:55:56while the crowd

00:55:57watches with admiration.

00:55:59The next morning,

00:56:00I intentionally

00:56:01leave home early,

00:56:02but the Browns

00:56:03are already lying in wait

00:56:04at the school entrance.

00:56:07Catherine!

00:56:10Catherine!

00:56:10Jolene plunges

00:56:11to hug me,

00:56:12but I smoothly

00:56:12dodge her.

00:56:14Catherine,

00:56:15come home with me.

00:56:17Your grandmother's back

00:56:18and wants to see you.

00:56:23Sorry,

00:56:23but I don't really

00:56:24know you people.

00:56:25We don't have time

00:56:26for your nonsense.

00:56:27You're coming home

00:56:28with us today!

00:56:31Since it's the busiest time

00:56:33for students arriving,

00:56:35a bunch of curious students

00:56:36have already stopped

00:56:37to watch.

00:56:40A sleek black Bentley

00:56:42eases to a stop

00:56:43right beside us.

00:56:44The window lowers smoothly,

00:56:46and Liam's sharply

00:56:47contoured face

00:56:48comes into view.

00:56:52Catherine,

00:56:53get in the car.

00:56:59I've got class

00:57:00in a few minutes.

00:57:01What brings you here

00:57:01so early?

00:57:04They didn't bother you,

00:57:05did they?

00:57:05No.

00:57:07They're irrelevant.

00:57:08I'm heading in.

00:57:12And without waiting

00:57:13for his response,

00:57:14I simply turn

00:57:15and leave.

00:57:19The Browns erupt

00:57:20the moment I brush

00:57:21past them

00:57:21like they're strangers

00:57:22on the street.

00:57:23Are we seriously

00:57:24letting that girl

00:57:25walk all over us?

00:57:27She might ignore us,

00:57:29but someone else

00:57:30can get through to her.

00:57:31She won't dare

00:57:32skip her grandmother's

00:57:33birthday banquet.

00:57:36She'll show up

00:57:37for that.

00:57:38After my classes

00:57:39wrap up,

00:57:40I head home,

00:57:41ready to relax,

00:57:42until my phone

00:57:42starts buzzing

00:57:43in my pocket.

00:57:47Catherine,

00:57:48I'm sending you

00:57:49an address.

00:57:49Come eat with us.

00:57:50They've got all

00:57:51your favorites,

00:57:52and there's

00:57:52a surprise

00:57:52for you, too.

00:57:54I hop into a cab,

00:57:55take the elevator up,

00:57:57and text Jared.

00:58:00Which room

00:58:01are you guys in?

00:58:03The elevator doors

00:58:04slide open,

00:58:05and I walk out,

00:58:06my eyes glued

00:58:07to my phone.

00:58:10Before I can

00:58:10take two steps,

00:58:11a hand suddenly

00:58:12pulls me aside.

00:58:14So this is who

00:58:15you really are,

00:58:15waiting all this time

00:58:17just to pull this?

00:58:18You followed me here?

00:58:19Declan.

00:58:20Of course.

00:58:22What?

00:58:23Touched a nerve?

00:58:24You show up

00:58:24where I hang out

00:58:25hoping I'll notice

00:58:26you again?

00:58:28Catherine,

00:58:28you really haven't

00:58:29changed.

00:58:30Still using the same

00:58:31desperate tricks.

00:58:32Isn't she that

00:58:33Brown family daughter?

00:58:34The one they

00:58:34recently reclaimed?

00:58:35Yep.

00:58:35Looks like she's still

00:58:36running after Declan

00:58:37like always.

00:58:37Declan,

00:58:38drop the ego.

00:58:39I'm here for someone else.

00:58:40You don't even make

00:58:40the top hundred.

00:58:41Stop acting like the world

00:58:42revolves around you.

00:58:45Aha,

00:58:45so I got to you.

00:58:47That's why

00:58:47you're biting back?

00:58:48Do me a favor

00:58:49and stay away.

00:58:51I don't want anyone

00:58:51assuming we have

00:58:52history.

00:58:55I stride toward

00:58:56the highest tier

00:58:57private suite

00:58:57without looking back.

00:59:07Whoa,

00:59:08what happened to you?

00:59:09What happened to you?

00:59:13I'm fine.

00:59:22Catherine,

00:59:23wait till you see this.

00:59:35Hold on.

00:59:36Is that...

00:59:37Yep.

00:59:38The one from the

00:59:39Veritas auction last month.

00:59:40You kept staring at it,

00:59:42so I figured I'd just

00:59:43buy the damn thing

00:59:44for you.

00:59:45Thanks,

00:59:45Gerald.

00:59:46Hey,

00:59:47don't go formal

00:59:48on me.

00:59:49Something like this

00:59:50deserves an owner

00:59:50who actually gets it.

01:00:18Catherine,

01:00:19I heard you moved out.

01:00:20I heard you moved out.

01:00:21Did the Browns push you

01:00:23too far again?

01:00:24I'm fine,

01:00:25Auntie.

01:00:25I left on my own terms.

01:00:27Your grandmother returned.

01:00:29You heard?

01:00:31Her birthday banquet

01:00:32is next week.

01:00:34She actually called me

01:00:35earlier and told me

01:00:36to ask you to come.

01:00:38Auntie,

01:00:39I'm no longer part

01:00:40of the Brown family.

01:00:42Catherine,

01:00:42please.

01:00:43She's getting older.

01:00:45Just give her

01:00:46this one courtesy.

01:00:48All right.

01:00:48I'll show up on time.

01:00:50I exhale slowly.

01:00:52So this is happening.

01:00:53No dodging it now.

01:00:55My eyes move back

01:00:56to the gemstone

01:00:56in its wooden box.

01:00:57It would make a clean,

01:00:58elegant birthday gift.

01:01:01The night of Analia's

01:01:02birthday banquet

01:01:03has come.

01:01:04The Brown estate

01:01:04glows with

01:01:05extravagant decorations.

01:01:10I stroll in

01:01:11wearing simple,

01:01:12casual clothes.

01:01:13Jolene drifts

01:01:14graciously through the guests

01:01:15in a blush pink

01:01:16couture gown.

01:01:18Low whispers swirl

01:01:20around the gathered guests

01:01:21about how shabby I look.

01:01:23Lawrence's and Anna's

01:01:24expressions grow cold

01:01:26and tense.

01:01:27Isn't that the one

01:01:27who broke ties

01:01:28with the Browns?

01:01:29And she just shows up

01:01:30to Grandma's birthday

01:01:31like that?

01:01:34Wild or not,

01:01:36she's stunning.

01:01:38Those sharp features

01:01:39in that presence

01:01:40can't be ignored.

01:01:41Jolene steps forward,

01:01:43her smile dazzling

01:01:44and perfectly practiced.

01:01:46Grandma,

01:01:47happy birthday!

01:01:49I know how much

01:01:50you adore gemstones,

01:01:51so I ask the auction house

01:01:52to find something

01:01:53really special for you.

01:01:54A rare warm gem.

01:02:00And you, Catherine?

01:02:02What did you bring?

01:02:04I reach into my black bag

01:02:06and pull out

01:02:06a small wooden box.

01:02:09As I open the lid,

01:02:11the room falls

01:02:12deathly silent.

01:02:13Nestled inside

01:02:15is another gemstone.

01:02:19To give Grandma a fake?

01:02:21That's just disrespectful.

01:02:23Catherine?

01:02:24Fake?

01:02:25Catherine,

01:02:26don't you realize

01:02:27how humiliating

01:02:28this is for our family?

01:02:31Amid the crowd's murmurs

01:02:33and accusations,

01:02:33I stay composed.

01:02:41You say mine's a fake?

01:02:43On what proof?

01:02:44Maybe yours is the counterfeit.

01:02:46Isn't it obvious?

01:02:48This gem

01:02:49is incredibly rare.

01:02:51There can't be

01:02:52two exactly the same.

01:02:56Mine's been authenticated

01:02:58by several experts.

01:02:59It's the real deal.

01:03:01A knowing smile

01:03:02curves my lips

01:03:03as I bring my gem up

01:03:05and lightly press it

01:03:06against an Aaliyah's wrist.

01:03:09This is it!

01:03:11They say a genuine

01:03:12warm gem

01:03:12changes color

01:03:13depending on its

01:03:14wearer's vitality.

01:03:15It's a unique,

01:03:16almost magical trait.

01:03:18Why don't we test

01:03:20Jolene's gem

01:03:20the same way?

01:03:23She tried to pin it

01:03:24on Catherine

01:03:24when it was her own

01:03:25gift that was false.

01:03:27That's impossible!

01:03:28I paid ten million

01:03:29for this

01:03:29at the luxurious

01:03:30auction house!

01:03:31I even have the receipt

01:03:33and certificate

01:03:33to prove it!

01:03:34Pulling out her phone,

01:03:35she quickly dials

01:03:36the number.

01:03:37What she hears

01:03:38makes her eyes

01:03:38widened in shock.

01:03:40Just then,

01:03:40someone glances

01:03:41at their phone

01:03:42and blurts out,

01:03:43The luxurious

01:03:43auction house director

01:03:44got hooked on gambling!

01:03:47Jolene stumbles backward,

01:03:49dropping her phone

01:03:50with a loud clatter.

01:03:52Today is my birthday celebration.

01:03:54Let's put an end

01:03:55to this now.

01:03:56Jolene acted

01:03:57with good intentions

01:03:58but was misled.

01:03:59For the very first time,

01:04:01Anala looks at me

01:04:02without that usual

01:04:03air of disappointment.

01:04:07You know,

01:04:08Catherine,

01:04:08I actually like this.

01:04:14Jolene bites down hard

01:04:16on her lower lip,

01:04:17her nails digging

01:04:18into her palm.

01:04:19Justine approaches me.

01:04:22Catherine,

01:04:24I'm sorry about everything

01:04:25that went down earlier.

01:04:27I'm okay.

01:04:29You only stop

01:04:30feeling hurt

01:04:30when you stop

01:04:31expecting anything

01:04:31from anyone.

01:04:34Not long after,

01:04:36friends call

01:04:36Justina away.

01:04:38A maid makes

01:04:39her way around,

01:04:40offering champagne.

01:04:41When she gets to me,

01:04:43I decline.

01:04:45The maid hurries away

01:04:46and comes back

01:04:47moments later,

01:04:48holding a glass of juice.

01:04:50I study the juice

01:04:51for a moment.

01:04:52I lift the glass

01:04:53and drink it down

01:04:54in one steady guilt.

01:04:55A few minutes pass

01:04:57before the same maid

01:04:58shows up again.

01:04:59I'm so, so sorry.

01:05:01I didn't mean

01:05:02for this to happen.

01:05:04She slips

01:05:04and the entire drink

01:05:06splashes across

01:05:07my outfit.

01:05:09Catherine,

01:05:09I'm really sorry.

01:05:10The staff can be

01:05:11a bit careless.

01:05:12Why don't you slip

01:05:13into one of my dresses?

01:05:14I've got tons upstairs.

01:05:15You can use the guest room

01:05:16to change.

01:05:16Wow.

01:05:17The rules in this house

01:05:18are intriguing,

01:05:19to say the least.

01:05:19I hear every bit

01:05:20of the sarcasm.

01:05:21Sophia is practically

01:05:23mocking Jolene,

01:05:24who acts like

01:05:24she owns the place.

01:05:26The maid exhales,

01:05:27relieved beyond measure,

01:05:28and hurries forward.

01:05:29I start after her,

01:05:31but pause to throw

01:05:31Jolene one last look.

01:05:33The maid leads me

01:05:35far inside the mansion,

01:05:36to a guest room.

01:05:37As soon as she leaves,

01:05:39the door shuts quietly,

01:05:40and I hear the lock

01:05:41slide into place.

01:05:44I go over to check

01:05:45the window,

01:05:46but it's stuck tight,

01:05:47probably locked

01:05:48from the outside.

01:05:50A strange warmth

01:05:51begins spreading

01:05:52under my skin.

01:05:53I take a steady breath,

01:05:55pull a small ceramic file

01:05:56from my pocket,

01:05:57and swallow an antidote.

01:05:59I had drunk

01:06:01the tampered juice

01:06:01simply because

01:06:02I wanted to see

01:06:03the full extent

01:06:04of Jolene's trap.

01:06:09A few moments later,

01:06:11I hear faint,

01:06:12uneven footsteps

01:06:13outside the door.

01:06:15I lay down on the bed,

01:06:16completely still

01:06:17and quiet.

01:06:19The door creaks

01:06:20open slowly.

01:06:24Getting impatient,

01:06:26huh?

01:06:26Don't worry,

01:06:27sweetheart.

01:06:28I'll take real

01:06:29good care of you.

01:06:31But suddenly,

01:06:31my eyes snap

01:06:33wide open.

01:06:36The scream tears

01:06:37from him.

01:06:38He crumples

01:06:39to the floor

01:06:40in an instant,

01:06:41folding over

01:06:42and wrigling

01:06:43on the carpet.

01:06:45I calmly step

01:06:46over him

01:06:47and shut the door

01:06:47behind me.

01:06:48I ease into the corner

01:06:49just outside,

01:06:50ready to watch.

01:06:51Not long after,

01:06:53Jolene appears,

01:06:54sneaking

01:06:55cautiously

01:06:56down the hall.

01:06:58She presses her ear

01:07:00against the door,

01:07:01then pulls it

01:07:02wide open.

01:07:11She barely has time

01:07:12to register it

01:07:13before the man

01:07:14lunges at her.

01:07:18Stay away!

01:07:19Get off me!

01:07:20Man,

01:07:21pretty girl.

01:07:22The other one

01:07:23took a heap,

01:07:24but you?

01:07:24You'll do just fine.

01:07:26Don't you dare

01:07:27touch me!

01:07:27I'm a brown.

01:07:29Touch me

01:07:29and you're dead.

01:07:33Oh man,

01:07:34yeah?

01:07:35That just makes

01:07:36it way more

01:07:37interesting.

01:07:40Help!

01:07:41Help!

01:07:41Let me go!

01:07:44After closing

01:07:45the door behind me,

01:07:46I calmly make

01:07:48my way back

01:07:48to the banquet hall.

01:07:50Sophia,

01:07:50who had earlier

01:07:51stood by my side,

01:07:52approaches with a

01:07:53warm smile

01:07:54and extends her hand.

01:07:55I'm Sophia Flynn.

01:07:57How about we get

01:07:58better acquainted?

01:07:59Catherine Brown,

01:08:00it's a pleasure

01:08:01to meet you.

01:08:02About 15 minutes

01:08:02later,

01:08:03a sudden disturbance

01:08:04breaks out

01:08:05outside the banquet

01:08:06hall.

01:08:06The crowd moves

01:08:07towards the guest

01:08:08room.

01:08:10As they get closer,

01:08:11heavy breathing

01:08:12and a woman's

01:08:13desperate screams

01:08:14reach their ears.

01:08:18Anne's face

01:08:19drains of color.

01:08:21What are you

01:08:21waiting for?

01:08:22Get that door

01:08:23down now!

01:08:24A few strong

01:08:25servants step up

01:08:26and smash the

01:08:27door open.

01:08:28Inside,

01:08:29the shocking

01:08:29scene unfolds

01:08:30for everyone

01:08:31to see.

01:08:33Jolene,

01:08:34her hair

01:08:34mussy

01:08:35and clothes

01:08:35rumpled,

01:08:36is pinned

01:08:37down by an

01:08:37unfamiliar man.

01:08:39Seeing the

01:08:39crowd at the

01:08:40doorway,

01:08:40she breaks

01:08:41down in tears.

01:08:42Mom!

01:08:43It was Catherine!

01:08:44She tricked me!

01:08:45She planned

01:08:46all of this!

01:08:50Despite

01:08:50the accusations,

01:08:51I don't flinch.

01:08:53Jolene,

01:08:53where are you

01:08:54getting this

01:08:54from?

01:08:55The maid

01:08:55ruined my

01:08:56dress and

01:08:56you sent

01:08:57her to

01:08:57fetch me

01:08:57some clothes.

01:08:58But I

01:08:59waited ages

01:08:59and no one

01:09:00came,

01:09:00so I left.

01:09:01When I

01:09:01left,

01:09:02the room

01:09:03was empty.

01:09:03I have no

01:09:04idea how

01:09:05you ended

01:09:05up here.

01:09:06How could

01:09:07you be so

01:09:07heartless?

01:09:08Jolene is

01:09:09your sister!

01:09:11I was with

01:09:12Miss Flynn in

01:09:12the banquet hall

01:09:13the entire time.

01:09:14Many guests

01:09:15can vouch for

01:09:15that.

01:09:16How can you

01:09:17stoop to

01:09:17such tactics?

01:09:20regarding

01:09:21Jolene,

01:09:21we'll have

01:09:22a chance

01:09:22to question

01:09:23the man

01:09:23soon enough.

01:09:27What

01:09:27happened

01:09:28today was

01:09:28a private

01:09:29family matter.

01:09:30Anyone

01:09:30who breathes

01:09:31a word

01:09:31of it

01:09:31will be

01:09:31making

01:09:32an enemy

01:09:32of the

01:09:32Brown

01:09:33family.

01:09:34Anne

01:09:34her

01:09:34trembling

01:09:35and

01:09:35practically

01:09:36Jolene

01:09:37out.

01:09:38The man
