Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:07The 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.
00:00:21Release 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.
00:01:00Poor 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 storming sun.
00:01:19If you want to live,
00:01:23stop right now.
00:01:24I recognize the man.
00:01:26He 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?
00:02:09Five 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?
00:02:29I trust you.
00:02:30I draw a small blade, make a precise cut on his finger, and let out some blackened blood.
00:02:34Until it's fully out of my system, you're gonna have to stick close to me.
00:02:40First, I 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, I find my biological parents and three brothers gathered around Jolana, showering her with care.
00:02:53I close the distance, grab a handful of Jolene's hair, across 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, what 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?
00:03:19She'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! It must be fake!
00:03:33Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
00:03:37Or maybe call the police?
00:03:38No! No!
00:03:38No! You can't call the cops!
00:03:40Catherine, I'm sorry!
00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!
00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized. Just drop it!
00:03:47It's either her or me.
00:03:51Since 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, a 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.
00:04:10I 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.
00:04:26Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.
00:04:33Is 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.
00:04:40Alright.
00:04:41But I have two conditions.
00:04:42First, I need a complete medical lab.
00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:04:48Besides that, neither 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 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.
00:05:34Soon, dozens 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 about you hitting her.
00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
00:05:43Who picked you up?
00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.
00:05:47Just return home.
00:05:49If 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.
00:06:08I 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.
00:06:18Logging out.
00:06:19I 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 dark net.
00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.
00:06:38My phone rings.
00:06:40It's Jeral Douglas, my loyal admirer.
00:06:43Catherine, 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.
00:06:54It 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?
00:07:30What 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?
00:07:44Ring 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.
00:08:16I pay and walk out.
00:08:18I watched Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction
00:08:24courses 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.
00:08:33I 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.
00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?
00:08:54He actually showed up.
00:08:56Who'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?
00:09:04I 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.
00:09:15But 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?
00:09:30Where 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, her expression dark.
00:10:02Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
00:10:05You never mentioned anything.
00:10:07And
00:10:07didn'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.
00:10:19Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.
00:10:22None 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.
00:10:40Catherine, where have you been?
00:10:42Mr. 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.
00:11:19Did you catch that?
00:11:20Liam said it himself.
00:11:22She's with him.
00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?
00:11:28Wait, Catherine?
00:11:31Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth and brought back from some remote place?
00:11:37Judging by Jolene's little comments, the 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.
00:11:55The auction begins.
00:11:56One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.
00:12:00Beautiful work of art.
00:12:01A piece of history.
00:12:03A masterpiece.
00:12:10Dazzling.
00:12:12Priceless.
00:12:13But I've never been interested in jewelry.
00:12:16No matter how valuable, they're just stones.
00:12:19Just then, I hear a familiar voice.
00:12:22It's Jolene.
00:12:23Austin, this necklace is stunning.
00:12:26I really like it.
00:12:30Austin 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.
00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold, a deep voice echoes from the back.
00:12:5850 million.
00:12:5950 million.
00:13:01Sold.
00:13:02Congratulations, Mr. Warren.
00:13:05Liam walks up to the stage and claims the necklace.
00:13:13Then, to everyone's astonishment, he returns to me and fastens the necklace around my neck.
00:13:24It looks good on you.
00:13:28I really like it.
00:13:30The sight stings Jolene's eyes.
00:13:33Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.
00:13:35I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.
00:13:4250 million for a necklace.
00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.
00:13:46After the auction wraps up, I wander to the dessert table alone.
00:13:51Catherine, you really are something.
00:13:53A few days away and you've already hooked onto Liam.
00:13:56Nothing as impressive as your lifelong mastery of acting sweet and pitiful.
00:14:00Why 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 and intentionally bumps onto me, splashing juice onto her own dress.
00:14:11Catherine, even if you dislike me, isn'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.
00:14:24Jolene is your sister.
00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine and flick my wrist, sending the whole glass onto Jolene's dress.
00:14:34There.
00:14:34That'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.
00:14:51Mr. 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, I always tried to keep the peace.
00:15:26And all it got me was them pushing harder every time.
00:15:28Now, no one could step on me again.
00:15:36The following morning, I walk into the living area.
00:15:39And notice Liam is already awake.
00:15:53Good morning.
00:15:56Morning.
00:15:57I head to the kitchen to prepare the herbal mix.
00:16:05Just 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.
00:16:22You're serious?
00:16:24His 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 suggest 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?
00:16:42Miss 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.
00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt many times before.
00:16:54We'll see soon enough.
00:16:57Winred, maybe you ought to let Dr. Brown give you a prescription.
00:17:02Liam, are you kidding me?
00:17:03This girl-
00:17:04She'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.
00:17:26I pull out the silver needles and insert them with speed and precision.
00:17:34When the last needle is inserted, Liam's body shivers.
00:17:39And 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.
00:18:21These 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?
00:18:30The ingredients are rare, and 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, but if your health fails, no sum of money will grant you a second
00:18:43chance.
00:18:45The 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.
00:19:27It doesn't concern your family.
00:19:28You'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?
00:19:41Are you all finished?
00:19:43First, 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.
00:19:55You said you cut ties, so give back the Brown group's shares.
00:20:02Those 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.
00:20:11Since 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.
00:20:25I put my phone away, feeling nothing.
00:20:28I used to put up with everything you threw at me.
00:20:32Now 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.
00:20:46Suddenly, a voice calls out.
00:20:48Catherine, is that really you? Where have you been hiding?
00:20:51I look at the woman before me.
00:20:54She's nearly 50.
00:20:56Her 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, and you owe me half a million.
00:21:08If 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!
00:21:22Stay out of my way.
00:21:23Otherwise, I won't hesitate to involve the police and reopening the case about you switching infants.
00:21:29You... don't do anything rash.
00:21:31I'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.
00:21:54Get 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.
00:22:06That 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.
00:22:31Catherine?
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.
00:22:46Just then, a clear voice cuts through the tension.
00:22:50Miss Catherine Brown, you're here.
00:22:53Welcome. 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.
00:23:12Catherine, 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.
00:23:25Start 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.
00:23:46But it must be extremely quiet and private, with 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 Araylis University next Monday, right?
00:23:56I'm going to study.
00:23:58Medical school.
00:23:59You need to study medicine?
00:24:01You'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, and 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, Jolene 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, but she had me pushed away.
00:24:57What?
00:24:59How 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.
00:25:16Catherine is clearly in the high circles.
00:25:18No wonder she's trying to distance herself from us.
00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.
00:25:32Who knows what kind of company she's keeping now?
00:25:36Jolene's heart swells with secret satisfaction.
00:25:39I 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.
00:25:53When an unexpected grating voice rings out behind Jolene,
00:25:56she turn around and her smile freezes.
00:25:59It's her.
00:26:01Jolene!
00:26:03My dear daughter!
00:26:05Finally!
00:26:05I've found you!
00:26:07Her blood runs cold.
00:26:11Jolene, your younger brother needs money for school.
00:26:15Maybe 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 Avalius University let random nobodies walk in?
00:27:14Well, isn't this a lovely coincidence, Jolene?
00:27:18Looks 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,
00:27:27and Professor Lambert Carter steps through the door.
00:27:30He's a living legend in the global medical field,
00:27:33the heart of this school's medical program.
00:27:36He turns to the class and poses an extremely complex,
00:27:40peer-reviewed medical question.
00:27:43The entire lecture hall falls dead silent,
00:27:46not a single student daring to speak up.
00:27:51Young lady, please tell us what you think.
00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly,
00:27:55no trace of panic in my movements,
00:27:58and stand up.
00:27:58I lay out my analysis clearly and concisely,
00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,
00:28:04clinical data,
00:28:04and real surgical cases effortlessly.
00:28:09She's incredible!
00:28:10Total beauty and brains!
00:28:12Who even is she?
00:28:14Jolene's face burns with jealousy,
00:28:16her grip tight on her pen.
00:28:20When the final bell rings,
00:28:21I 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,
00:28:30and suddenly you're the one catching everyone's attention.
00:28:34Jolene, she's probably pulling stunts
00:28:36she'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,
00:29:07next 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.
00:29:20Stop pretending.
00:29:21It's pathetic.
00:29:23I turn and walk away.
00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion
00:29:33and find Liam in the living room.
00:29:36You were out?
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:40I stopped by Aurelius University to check in.
00:29:43Also 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,
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.
00:31:47Catherine 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?
00:32:03Professor Carter, I...
00:32:04I know true talent when I see it.
00:32:06I don't need your commentary.
00:32:10Now, 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.
00:32:45I'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.
00:33:52Most of them were convinced the shoes on my feet were fake.
00:33:56Hey, Catherine, if 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,
00:34:17and aimed the heel straight at the crowd.
00:34:20Is that real?
00:34:22Of 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
00:34:31and 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?
00:34:45I'm not scared!
00:34:46She raises her foot and turns the inside of the heel toward everyone.
00:34:49It's empty.
00:34:50Oh!
00:34:54Impossible!
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!
00:35:13That 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.
00:35:26After 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
00:35:47and 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,
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,
00:37:05moving with authority.
00:37:11They look at him nervously,
00:37:13like rats looking at a cat.
00:37:16Mr. Warren.
00:37:17Is everything alright?
00:37:20Mr. Warren,
00:37:21it'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.
00:37:47Let's go.
00:37:48Dinner's waiting.
00:37:55Your turn is over.
00:37:57Fake shoes always end up rubbing the heel raw.
00:38:01You 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.
00:38:40The next afternoon,
00:38:41I wheel a small suitcase
00:38:43to my new home,
00:38:44Sterling Haven.
00:38:45Just as I step out of the car,
00:38:48Catherine?
00:38:49a familiar voice calls out behind me.
00:38:52I turn and see Declan and Jolene
00:38:54standing not far away.
00:38:57What's going on here?
00:38:59Why are you at this place?
00:39:01Catherine,
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
00:39:10kicking 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.
00:39:15Your home?
00:39:17Wait,
00:39:18are you working here?
00:39:19Like on the staff?
00:39:20I can't help but laugh.
00:39:22Jolene,
00:39:23your imagination is wild.
00:39:24So tell me,
00:39:25what about you two?
00:39:26Are you here to apply for janitor
00:39:28or security jobs?
00:39:30Declan and I are here,
00:39:31looking for a place to settle down.
00:39:34Our wedding apartment, actually.
00:39:36I calmly reach into my bag
00:39:38and 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
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
00:40:12of wealthy young men.
00:40:13They've been throwing challenges
00:40:15at Evora.
00:40:17Oh,
00:40:18and the Brown family
00:40:19will 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
00:40:40in the suburb.
00:40:56I sign that name.
00:40:57The one they both dread
00:40:59and go mad over.
00:41:04Oh,
00:41:05it's Evora!
00:41:06Our idol Evora
00:41:08has arrived!
00:41:11Evora?
00:41:12It's probably just
00:41:13someone 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
00:41:46is 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
00:42:03out of embarrassment,
00:42:04resorting to such
00:42:05underhanded,
00:42:06pathetic tactics.
00:42:07But he can't touch me.
00:42:09Laying hands on someone
00:42:11in public?
00:42:12That's a bad look.
00:42:13Let go!
00:42:14Don't you know
00:42:14who I am?
00:42:19Whoever you are,
00:42:20if you touch
00:42:20Catherine again,
00:42:22you'll regret it.
00:42:26We'll settle this
00:42:27on the race course.
00:42:29Hopefully you don't
00:42:30crash out in the first round.
00:42:33The signal light blinks on
00:42:34and the five engines
00:42:36roar to life.
00:42:37The green light flashes
00:42:38and Jackson's GT-R
00:42:39shoots forward.
00:42:40At the first corner,
00:42:41I execute a drift
00:42:42unlike anything
00:42:43he's ever seen
00:42:44and pull ahead.
00:42:45The next stretch
00:42:46of the track
00:42:47turns into a full-on
00:42:48display of my skill.
00:42:54I flow through
00:42:55every bed
00:42:56as if I designed
00:42:56them myself.
00:42:59It's Yvera!
00:43:01She's really
00:43:01the legendary Yvera!
00:43:10My gray car
00:43:11shoots through
00:43:12the final stretch
00:43:13and crosses
00:43:13the finish line first.
00:43:27I push open the door
00:43:29and pull off my helmet,
00:43:30my ponytail swinging
00:43:31in 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 Jackson
00:44:12and walk off
00:44:13without looking back.
00:44:18I never wanted to flaunt
00:44:20being Yvera.
00:44:22But since you kept pushing,
00:44:23now you get to see
00:44:24who the real
00:44:25Catherine Brown
00:44:26really is.
00:44:50He drops the video
00:44:51into the group chat
00:44:52and tags Liam directly.
00:44:57Liam, you have to see this.
00:44:59I swear it'll
00:45:00knock you sideways.
00:45:01Please.
00:45:02Nothing on earth
00:45:03surprises Liam.
00:45:05What nonsense
00:45:06are you stirring up now?
00:45:13Liam opens the video,
00:45:15sees me stepping out
00:45:16of the gray car,
00:45:17and a flicker
00:45:19of real shock
00:45:19crosses eyes.
00:45:21It's her.
00:45:26Okay, I'm genuinely
00:45:28blown away.
00:45:29Liam, what kind of
00:45:30divine helper
00:45:31do you have in your life?
00:45:32This woman is pure magic.
00:45:34Told you.
00:45:34I knew even Liam
00:45:36couldn't stay calm
00:45:36after this.
00:45:53Catherine,
00:45:55just how much
00:45:56are you still hiding?
00:46:01The next day,
00:46:02I walk into the classroom.
00:46:06Catherine,
00:46:07I got you
00:46:07your favorite coffee.
00:46:08I smile
00:46:09and pull out
00:46:10a delicate porcelain
00:46:11bottle from my bag.
00:46:13Apply this ointment
00:46:14to the spot
00:46:15before bed.
00:46:17You should see results
00:46:18in about a month.
00:46:19Thank you so much,
00:46:20Catherine.
00:46:20Do you really think
00:46:21it will work?
00:46:22A mocking laugh
00:46:23cuts through the air.
00:46:25Consistency is the key.
00:46:26I'm confident
00:46:27it'll heal.
00:46:31Seriously?
00:46:32You actually think
00:46:33a homemade cream
00:46:34will magically
00:46:35make 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
00:46:44the truth.
00:46:46Catherine,
00:46:47Paige can be
00:46:48a bit blunt.
00:46:49She didn't mean
00:46:50to be hurtful.
00:46:51Paige was only
00:46:52trying to warn you.
00:46:53The ointments
00:46:54you're handing out
00:46:55aren't officially approved.
00:46:57If Claudian's condition
00:46:58gets worse,
00:46:59that could cause
00:47:01a big problem.
00:47:02It's to heal,
00:47:03not harm.
00:47:04Why do you jump
00:47:05to conclusions
00:47:05without a shred
00:47:06of proof?
00:47:11Tell me,
00:47:12have you ever
00:47:13actually tested
00:47:14these ointments
00:47:14yourself?
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,
00:47:24my medical skills
00:47:25aren't something
00:47:25outers to question.
00:47:31Catherine,
00:47:32I believe in you.
00:47:33Just as the school
00:47:34day wraps 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.
00:47:47Catherine,
00:47:47wait!
00:47:48Can I share
00:47:48your umbrella
00:47:49with you?
00:47:50No.
00:47:51I turn around
00:47:53and see Jolene
00:47:53huddled beneath
00:47:54my umbrella.
00:47:56Without another word,
00:47:58I turn and walk away.
00:48:00Before 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
00:48:08to walk with you
00:48:09for a bit.
00:48:10Jolene is left
00:48:11standing there,
00:48:12stunned.
00:48:15I already said no.
00:48:17My umbrella's
00:48:18too small for two.
00:48:20And honestly,
00:48:21I'm not comfortable
00:48:22being that close
00:48:22to anyone.
00:48:24Jolene is furious.
00:48:25A sleek black car
00:48:26rolls to a slow stop
00:48:28at the gate.
00:48:28It's Austin's.
00:48:33Austin!
00:48:36Jolene?
00:48:37How 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
00:48:42just in time
00:48:43to see me
00:48:44walking past
00:48:44holding my umbrella.
00:48:46Catherine,
00:48:47you had an umbrella.
00:48:48Why didn't you
00:48:49share it 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.
00:49:04Look 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's soaked
00:49:15because Catherine
00:49:16abandoned her.
00:49:16She went way too far!
00:49:19Before 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
00:49:25and 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?
00:49:29Stop trying to
00:49:29guilt 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 so much.
00:49:50Keep your little
00:49:51performances away
00:49:52from me.
00:49:52Don't test me.
00:50:06In the classroom,
00:50:07I sit quietly
00:50:08at my desk,
00:50:09flipping 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 to 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.
00:50:20Feel satisfied now,
00:50:21Catherine?
00:50:22Jolene's in the hospital
00:50:23with a high fever,
00:50:24all because you
00:50:24wouldn't share
00:50:25your stupid umbrella.
00:50:26I calmly shut
00:50:27my notebook
00:50:27and rise to my feet.
00:50:29A chilly,
00:50:31razor-thin smile
00:50:32forms 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
00:50:38your reaction?
00:50:38Jolene's hospitalized,
00:50:39and 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?
00:50:47Or did I physically
00:50:48send her into the storm?
00:50:49You!
00:50:51And 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 it
00:50:55to 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.
00:51:16How did you figure out
00:51:17she was faking?
00:51:18I've watched her pull
00:51:20the same act
00:51:20more times than I can count.
00:51:23On the weekend,
00:51:24Claudian asks me
00:51:26to 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
00:51:54splashes her 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
00:52:04on 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
00:52:24a 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!
00:52:38My 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.
00:52:44Jolene 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
00:53:06spilled coffee
00:53:07on Catherine's dress.
00:53:09I've already
00:53:10paid her back,
00:53:10but she's acting
00:53:12like it's not enough.
00:53:18Catherine,
00:53:18why are you
00:53:20picking on Jolene
00:53:21again?
00:53:23Anne pulls
00:53:24a thick wad
00:53:25of cash
00:53:25from her purse.
00:53:28Catherine,
00:53:29don't push this
00:53:29further.
00:53:30If it's money
00:53:31you want,
00:53:31apologize to Jolene.
00:53:33Not nearly enough.
00:53:36Yes,
00:53:37this is our
00:53:38anniversary edition.
00:53:39It retails
00:53:39for $180,000
00:53:41and is completely
00:53:42sold out.
00:53:43Either pay me
00:53:44three times its value
00:53:45or I'll report this
00:53:47as intentional
00:53:48property damage
00:53:49to the police.
00:53:50Who said
00:53:51we wouldn't compensate?
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
00:54:01negotiating.
00:54:02I'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.
00:54:10Back in the
00:54:10Brown family,
00:54:11I let you walk
00:54:12all over me.
00:54:12I swallowed
00:54:13every insult.
00:54:14Not anymore.
00:54:15From now on,
00:54:17every single debt
00:54:18gets paid back
00:54:19with interest.
00:54:20After the meal,
00:54:21I wave goodbye
00:54:22to Claudian
00:54:23at the restaurant's
00:54:23entrance.
00:54:28I've only walked
00:54:30a short distance
00:54:30when a terrified
00:54:31scream cuts
00:54:32through the air.
00:54:33Help!
00:54:35Someone help!
00:54:36Is there a doctor here?
00:54:38I turn towards
00:54:38the commotion
00:54:39and see a well-dressed
00:54:40woman kneeling beside
00:54:41an elderly woman
00:54:42who has collapsed.
00:54:44Wake up!
00:54:45I push through
00:54:45the crowd
00:54:46and kneel down
00:54:46to examine her.
00:54:51Ma'am,
00:54:52don't panic.
00:54:53Does she have
00:54:54a history of heart disease?
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:56She has coronary
00:54:58heart disease.
00:55:00I reach into my bag
00:55:02and pull out
00:55:03a small bottle
00:55:04of nitroglycerin pills.
00:55:06I slide a tablet
00:55:07under her tongue
00:55:08and begin CPR.
00:55:22after several long minutes,
00:55:24the elderly woman
00:55:25lets out
00:55:25a faint groan.
00:55:28Paramedics arrive
00:55:29and take over.
00:55:32very professional.
00:55:33You've brought us
00:55:34precious time.
00:55:36Which hospital
00:55:37do you work at?
00:55:38I have to thank you
00:55:39properly.
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
00:55:55my things
00:55:56and slip away
00:55:57while 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
00:56:04in wait
00:56:04at the school entrance.
00:56:07Catherine!
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.
00:56:16your grandmother's
00:56:18back and wants
00:56:19to see you.

00:56:24really know 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
00:56:33time for students
00:56:34arriving,
00:56:35a bunch of curious
00:56:36students have already
00:56:37stopped to watch.
00:56:40A sleek black Bentley
00:56:42eases to a stop
00:56:43right beside us.
00:56:44The window lowers
00:56:46smoothly.
00:56:46and Liam's
00:56:47sharply contoured
00:56:48face comes
00:56:49into view.
00:56:52Catherine,

00:57:05you, did they?
00:57:06No.
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.

00:57:33birthday banquet she'll show up for that after my classes wrap up i head home ready to relax

00:59:23katherine wait till you see this

00:59:52i'm fine

01:00:24i'm fine auntie i left on my own terms your grandmother returned you heard her birthday
01:00:32banquet is next week she actually called me earlier and told me to ask you to come
01:00:38auntie i'm no longer part of the brown family katherine please she's getting older just give
01:00:46her this one courtesy all right i'll show up on time i exhale slowly so this is happening no dodging
01:00:54it now my eyes move back to the gemstone in its wooden box it would make a clean elegant birthday
01:00:59gift the night of anelia's birthday banquet has come the brown estate glows with extravagant
01:01:06decorations i stroll in wearing simple casual clothes jolene drifts graciously through the
01:01:15guests in a blush pink couture gown low whispers swirl around the gathered guests about how shabby i
01:01:22look lawrence's and anna's expressions grow cold and tense isn't that the one who broke ties with
01:01:28the 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
01:01:52house to 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
01:02:19to give grandma a fake that's just disrespectful katherine fake katherine don't you realize how humiliating
01:02:28this 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
01:02:56mine's been authenticated by several experts it's the real deal a knowing smile curves my lips
01:03:04as i bring my gem up and lightly press it against an aliyah's wrist this is it
01:03:11they say a genuine warm gem changes color depending on its wearer's vitality
01:03:15it'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
01:03:29million 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 just
01:03:40then someone glances at their phone and blurts out the luxurious auction house director got hooked on
01:03:45gambling jolene stumbles backward dropping her phone with a loud clatter today is my birthday
01:03:53celebration let's put an end to this now jolene acted with good intentions but was misled for the
01:04:00very 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
01:04:17her 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
01:04:50i study the juice for a moment i lift the glass and drink it down in one steady guilt
01:04:55a few minutes pass before the same maid shows up again i'm so so sorry i didn't mean for this
01:05:02to
01:05:03happen she slips and the entire drink splashes across my outfit katherine i'm really sorry the staff
01:05:11can be a bit careless why don't you slip into one of my dresses i've got tons upstairs you can
01:05:15use
01:05:15the guest room to change wow the rules in this house are intriguing to say the least i hear every
01:05:20bit of the sarcasm sofia is practically mocking jolene who acts like she owns the place the maid
01:05:26exhales relieved beyond measure and hurries forward i start after her but pause to throw jolene one last
01:05:33look the maid leads me far inside the mansion to a guest room as soon as she leaves the door
01:05:39shuts
01:05:39quietly and i hear the lock slide into place i go over to check the window but it's stuck tight
01:05:47probably locked from the outside a strange warmth begins spreading under my skin i take a steady breath
01:05:55pull a small ceramic file from my pocket and swallow an antidote i had drunk the tampered juice
01:06:02simply because 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
01:06:33wide open
01:06:36the scream tears from him he crumples to the floor in an instant folding over and wriggling 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
01:07:25you'll do just fine don'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
01:07:40help help let me go
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
01:08:02minutes later 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
01:08:55the maid ruined my dress and you sent her to fetch me some clothes but i waited ages
01:08:59and no one came so i left when i left the room was empty i have no idea how you
01:09:05ended up here how could
01:09:07you be so heartless jolene is your sister i was with miss flynn in the banquet hall the entire time
01:09:14many guests can vouch for that how can you stoop to such tactics regarding jolene we'll have a chance to
01:09:23question the man soon enough what happened today was a private family matter anyone who breathes a
01:09:31word of it will be making an enemy of the brown family anne grabs her trembling daughter and practically
01:09:36drags jolene out the man is also hauled away
01:09:45what a night you handled that like a pro
01:09:51it 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 morning sunlight
01:10:10pours in through the large window casting soft highlights across his sharp jawline mr warren
01:10:15warning let's get started without hesitation he reaches for the buttons of his shirt and pulls
01:10:20it up exposing his bare chest i slip into professional mode pick up my medical kit and move to his
01:10:27side
01:10:28need a hand handling the browns my hands work with practiced confidence
01:10:34not right now i've got it covered once the session wraps up i'm packing away my tools when liam slowly
01:10:42pushes off the sofa he stands steady clear-headed you're healing well you're really skilled at this
01:10:50thanks keep this up and one more session and you'll be good as new once i'm fully better what
01:10:55do you want in exchange you've already paid for the treatments but if i ever need help down the road
01:11:01i hope you'll remember the understanding we have today sounds fair just then a knock comes at the door
01:11:07and a maid enters sir mr cassius warren has arrived his tone turns icy in an instant the smile that
01:11:13had
01:11:13just been there disappears completely tell him to wait for me in the living room when i enter the living
01:11:18room a man in a dark gray suit glances my way he appears to be in his 50s sharing some
01:11:25resemblance with liam
01:11:30our eyes lock for a moment i simply give a small nod and exit smoothly
01:11:38the 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
01:11:52sure no one is tailing me before finally heading back to my apartment
01:12:00no 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
01:12:40just 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 lapdog are you running wild and barking at everyone without a care excuse me who exactly are
01:13:10you insulting listen katherine you can't just waltz into this kind of event wearing a dress without a
01:13:17real invite you'll end up humiliated when security shows you the door come on katherine ready to head
01:13:24up let's not keep the others waiting don't pay her any mind the organizers gave me two invitations this
01:13:41year i smile back appreciating sofia's subtle way of handling things
01:14:00everyone meet my friend katherine 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 katherine is a brown have some
01:14:20respect 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
01:14:33to boost your status i won't hesitate to sue
01:14:45if you want to play dirty i'll give you a front row seat your status comes from flaunting fake
01:14:51jewelries and 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 bought anonymously i have to admit you've got an eye for quality it is lovely i'll give you that
01:15:19but
01:15:20the issue is that yours isn't authentic yes the center stone is about the right size but it's missing the
01:15:25clarity a genuine one would have they look like fresh lab made pieces you're talking nonsense my
01:15:31father gave this to me for my birthday janice don't let my sister get to you she's been out of
01:15:36touch for
01:15:37years she probably hasn't even seen jewelry of this caliber it's easy for her to misjudge i stay calm
01:15:42shifting my gaze to the other woman's wrist your bracelet actually has decent translucency but it's
01:15:49been chemically treated and filled with resin wearing that too long isn't good for your health
01:15:54just 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 the cut and the color don't match the authentic
01:17:14mariscore miss lopez i'm afraid this necklace is indeed a replica
01:17:22what that can't be the craftsmanship is exceptionally convincing almost flawless
01:17:27but as miss brown pointed out the cutting style and the emerald's shade reveal subtle differences
01:17:33impressive eye miss brown only the most skilled experts can detect such subtle distinctions
01:17:38may 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
01:17:50championship at the last international competition was truly well deserved
01:17:53no wonder she spotted the fake so easily she's langston moore's student
01:18:00that's the world's top jewelry appraiser the lopez family really embarrassed themselves today
01:18:06i can't stay here i can't let them see me like this
01:18:18katherine 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
01:18:33katherine what have you done to jolaine now i don't know what you're talking about austin i've
01:18:36been sitting here all night and jolaine hasn't said a word to me and i'm not the one who's been
01:18:40sending her all those blue roses
01:18:43austin shouldn't you find out what really happened first it's katherine who got wrong today what about
01:18:48miss lopez how could you upset her and make her cry you're going to the lopez residence right now to
01:18:53apologize apologize for what telling the truth and exposing janice fake jewelry in front of everyone
01:19:01what nonsense miss lopez wouldn't be caught dead wearing fakes you're just making up lies to slander
01:19:07her mr brown miss brown's assessment is absolutely right this marie's core necklace is a very well
01:19:12made replica and her appraisal skills surpass even mine isn't austin being way too biased he's
01:19:18not even listening to the expert i heard the browns kicked out their own biological daughter
01:19:22to make room for that adopted girl jolene how ridiculous still you had no right to humiliate
01:19:28miss lopez like that in public our families have shared a close bond for generations did you ever
01:19:34stop to think about how damaging this could be for the brown group but what about when janus openly
01:19:38mocked me for being from the countryside when they all schemed together to humiliate me in front of
01:19:42everyone did anyone ever care how that felt have any of you truly treated me like family at all
01:19:46if not then i katherine and the browns are better off going our separate ways from this day forward
01:19:52sorry for the disruption and ruining everyone's good time i'll be taking my leave now
01:19:59the days passed quietly with nothing but my regular school routine and lab work
01:20:04jolene had kept an unusually low profile ever since the banquet not daring to provoke me again
01:20:14so many missed calls what's going on
01:20:20why are you answering aunt justina's phone what happened to her watch your tone with me you ungrateful
01:20:25brat i haven't even dealt with the mess you made thanks to you offending miss lopez the lopez group
01:20:30has just terminated all their cooperation with us you will find time to go to the lopez residence and
01:20:35apologize to miss lopez immediately keep dreaming you ungrateful little wolf if you refuse to listen
01:20:42to me are you planning to ignore your aunt's life and death situation too what happened to aunt justina
01:20:48brain tumor it's pressing directly on the nerves surgery is extremely risky i'm on my way
01:20:59out of my way sign this sign the share transfer agreement and i'll let you inside to see her
01:21:06how dare they use justina's life as a bargaining chip they have no bottom line you crazy girl if you
01:21:13dare lay a hand on me you'll be condemned for your unfailed behavior heaven will strike you down then move
01:21:20before i actually decide to follow through lawrence austin is that katherine out there let her in
01:21:38my poor little katherine they must have given her a hard time again
01:21:45it's just the same old health problems nothing to worry about but were they bothering you out there
01:21:51just now don't worry about me i'm perfectly fine how are you feeling right now really be honest with
01:21:57me justina don't push yourself too hard the doctors made it clear this condition can't wait any longer
01:22:02only dr huxley jones can perform this surgery with the highest success rate jolaine practically bent
01:22:06over back to get him to agree to take the case show me her complete medical records and all the
01:22:11scan
01:22:11images right now justina has been nothing but kind to you your whole life hasn't she
01:22:14now that she's gravely ill you won't just sit back and let her die will you here's the deal
01:22:17sign over the brown group shares to the family and jolene will convince dr huxley to perform
01:22:21the surgery immediately we're also willing to overlook the whole miss lopez incident
01:22:24and not hold it against you after all we're still family aren't we
01:22:28lawrence austin how can you stoop so low as to use my sickness as a weapon against katherine
01:22:31this is absolutely shameless i won't stand for this stop it right now aunt justina
01:22:36please don't be angry dad's just worried about all those brown group shares katherine holds
01:22:40if she's not careful she could be taken advantage of which would cause huge problems
01:22:46that's why he wants to take this chance to get the shares back into the family's hands
01:22:51kathian my condition is severe and it probably may get better even if you sign the surgery might not
01:22:59work i come to accept that you should leave while you still can aunt justina i'll be the one to
01:23:07perform your surgery what could you possibly have to back that up with those so-called skills you
01:23:11picked up from nowhere katherine don't make a fool of yourself and promise more than you can deliver
01:23:15if justina's condition worsens because of your arrogance can you really bear the consequences can
01:23:19you live with that guilt then we'll just have to wait and see and don't you ever dare use
01:23:24aunt justina as a pawn against me again the next time you try i won't hesitate to prove
01:23:28exactly what i am capable of and you won't like the outcome i'm not giving up on you
01:23:34aunt justina trust me leave everything to me i promise i'll make you better katherine i trust you
01:23:44completely fine have it your way katherine let's see how you handle this without dr huxery i don't
01:23:50think justina has much time left when this fails and it will you better not come crawling
01:23:55back to us to us on your knees begging for help
01:24:07it's zafira arrange for the highest grade operating theater at central hospital immediately

01:24:32families can't book no no way that's impossible katherine that good for nothing girl who grew up in the
