FunTranscript
00:00I might marry a foreign man. So she arranged an engagement for me. I grew up abroad. My mother
00:05feared I might marry a foreign man. So she arranged an engagement for me with a talented
00:09and handsome man in float on. She insisted that I return home to get engaged. I came back and
00:15started shopping for an engagement dress at a luxury boutique. I selected an off-white strapless
00:20gown and decided to try it on. Suddenly, a woman nearby glanced at the dress in my hand and told
00:26the saleswoman. That's a unique design. Let me try it. The saleswoman immediately yanked
00:33it out of my hands. I protested indignantly. Excuse me, I was here first. Don't you understand
00:39the principle of first come, first served? Or do you just not care about common decency?
00:43The woman scoffed and retorted. This dress costs $188,000. Do you really think a broken body
00:50like you can even afford it? I'm Lucas Goodwin's sister in all but blood. He's the chairman of
00:56Goodwin's group. In float on, the Goodwin family sets the rules. What a coincidence.
01:01Lucas Goodwin was my fiance. I immediately called him and said, hey, your sister in all but blood
01:07just stole my engagement dress. Do something about it. The term sister in all but blood
01:12implied less than innocent connotations. If Lucas Goodwin failed to give me a proper explanation
01:17on that day, I would cancel the engagement banquet. To my surprise, Lucas responded coldly.
01:23Who are you? Since when does a stranger like you get to question my relationship with Vivian?
01:29I was about to tell him that I was his fiance, but he hung up abruptly. I became angry. How
01:34dare he not save my contact information? Meanwhile, Vivian Morrow, who was standing beside me,
01:40grinned triumphantly. You wench. Did you really think having Lucas' number makes you special?
01:46No. Keep dreaming. She looked at me with open contempt. Even the Janners at Goodwin's group
01:52dress better than you. I had always preferred simple, comfortable clothes and never cared about
01:57brand names. I never thought that would give people a reason to look down on me.
02:02What era are you even living in? To think you'd still be judging people by their looks.
02:06Lucas must be out of his mind to call you his sister in all but blood.
02:10My mood for shopping was ruined, thanks to her antics. I grabbed the gown and headed straight to the
02:15checkout counter. The saleswoman hesitated before saying,
02:18Miss, I'm sorry, but we prioritize our members first. Vivian smirked and slammed her shiny gold
02:24membership card onto the counter. Only people who've spent over a million get this card.
02:29What's a broke loser like you even doing here? I was not usually one to pick fights, but on that
02:35day, Vivian had really crossed a line. I pulled out a black card and handed it to the saleswoman.
02:40I suppressed my anger and said, sign me up for a membership. Then bagged the gown.
02:46Vivian glared at the saleswoman and threatened, the Goodwin's own Floaten.
02:51If you sell her that gown today, I'll have Luke's buy this store out tomorrow.
02:55The saleswoman shrank back timidly and said,
02:58Miss, I'm just an employee. I can't risk offending Goodwin's group.
03:02Several onlookers turned to me and offered me advice in whispers.
03:06That's Mrs. Morrow. I've seen her around. Lucas Goodwin's oils were rotten. You should just let
03:10it go. The last time someone crossed her, Goodwin's group drove them into bankruptcy.
03:15You may have some money, but it's pocket change compared to Goodwin's group.
03:18Just apologize to Mrs. Morrow now and beg her to spare you.
03:22Flattered by their words, Vivian's ego swelled like a balloon.
03:25You wench, get on your knees and say, I'm a worthless poser and I'm sorry.
03:32Maybe then I'll consider letting you off the hook.
03:34At 26 years of my life, I had never encountered anyone audacious enough to act so arrogantly in
03:40front of me. Pardon? What did you just ask me to say?
03:45What? What are you deaf? Say I'm a worthless poser. I'm sorry. Do I need to spell it out for
03:52you?
03:52I smirked. I heard you. Since you're aware that you're a worthless poser, get out of my sight.
03:59Don't waste my time. When Vivian finally realized she was being mocked,
04:04she flailed her arms and charged at me. It was laughable to see her trying to attack me.
04:08I had a black belt in taekwondo. Did she really think her flimsy punches would scare me?
04:13I sent Vivian crashing to the floor with a single kick.
04:20She howled in pain. The onlookers stared at me in horror.
04:23Onlooker gosh. Did she just do that to Mrs. Morley?
04:27Mr. Goodwin is going to tear her to pieces once he hears about this.
04:31Yeah, good luck to her. Not even God can save her.
04:35I felt nothing when I heard their whispers. The Goodwin family had only achieved their current
04:40status through my mother's support. No one in this city could intimidate me. I slammed my card
04:45on the counter again and said to the cashier, ring me up. The cashier visibly shaken, fumbled as she
04:53processed my payment and wrapped up the gown. I turned to leave with the bag in hand. Vivian scrambled
04:59to stand up and blocked my path again. You're not going anywhere. I raised my fist and waved
05:05it in front of her face. What's the matter? Do you want to taste my fist again? Vivian flinched
05:11instinctively. I scoffed and strode past her. Just then, a black car pulled up in front of the store.
05:17A man stepped out. I felt my heart skip a beat. Vivian immediately rushed over tearfully to tattle.
05:24Luke! She stole my gown from me and even hit me! So, this was my fiancé. I had always been
05:32a sucker
05:32for good looks, and Lucas's appearance was exactly my type. Based on his looks alone, I felt I could
05:39forgive his previous rudeness. I gave him my best smile. Hi! I'm Lily Winson, your fiancé. It was no
05:48wonder my mother said I would be satisfied with the man she had picked this time. She really knew me
05:53inside out. The onlookers immediately erupted in gasps. What? She's Mr. Goodwin's fiancé?
06:02Lucas looked at me coldly. Don't get ahead of yourself. My father arranged this engagement
06:07without my consent. I never agreed to it. Vivian, who stood beside him, wrapped her arm around his
06:14and leaned intimately against his shoulder. She shot me a provocative glance. Look at yourself.
06:19There is no way Lukes would ever marry an ugly creature like you! Someone chimed in. Exactly!
06:25If Mr. Goodwin were to marry, it would be to some rich girl from a proper family with equal status,
06:29not some country bumping like you. With her looks, Goodwin's group wouldn't even hire her to mop floors.
06:34I had never considered myself a stunning beauty, but I was certainly not ugly. How could they describe
06:40me in such derogatory terms? This proved how people instinctively curry favor with the powerful
06:45and took advantage of those in misfortune. Lucas Goodwin, go home and tell your father
06:51that I'm calling off this engagement. You don't deserve me.
06:58According to my mother, his father had pulled countless strings to arrange this marriage alliance
07:03with our family. If he learned that his own son had ruined it, he'd skin Lucas alive. The thought
07:09lifted my mood a little. I could not be bothered to waste more time on these idiots, so I turned
07:14to leave. But Vivian, knowing that Lucas would back her up, refused to let it go. She blocked my path
07:20again. Don't even try to run, you wench! We're not done here! You stole my gown and hit me!
07:27I looked at her disdainfully. What exactly do you want? Mistaking my calm for fear, she raised her
07:33hand to slap me. I'll slap you until I feel satisfied! I caught her wrist mid-swing and slapped
07:39her across the face without hesitation. She stared at me in shock. Had enough? Vivian said angrily.
07:47Those two slaps wiped the arrogant look off Vivian's face. She burst into tears and cowered behind
07:53Lucas. Lucas, do something! Lucas shielded her protectively and snarled,
07:59Touch my girl again and I'll end you. He signaled his bodyguards to grab me.
08:05I managed to take down the first bodyguard with a quick strike, but the second one pinned me down.
08:11After a barrage of blows, I collapsed to the floor. The two bodyguards hauled me up and forced me to
08:16my
08:16knees before Vivian and Lucas. They looked down at me. Lucas backed Vivian up and said,
08:21Vivi, do whatever you want to her. I've got your back.
08:28With Lucas's reassurance, Vivian immediately gained confidence. She slapped me twice, then spat in my
08:34face. You wench. Where's all that attitude now? Huh? Come on, show me how tough you are. Then she kicked
08:44me
08:44hard in the stomach. Clutching my aching abdomen, I raised my gaze to glare at her and Lucas.
08:52You'll regret this. I swear you'll pay for this.
08:58Vivian laughed arrogantly. The Goodwin family is one of the top three powerful families running this
09:03city. What can a broke loser like you even do against me? Today, I'll teach you what happens
09:09when you mess with me. She pulled out a nail clipper from her bag and slashed it across my face.
09:14Searing
09:14pain shot through my cheek as the skin swelled and I felt blood seeping out. Someone sighed in pity.
09:20I told her not to cross the Goodwin family. I guess she had to learn the hard way.
09:23What a shame. Her pretty face is ruined now. Folks like us can't afford trouble. We better
09:30swallow our pride when we're out here. Vivian raised the nail clipper again, aiming for another
09:35slash at my face. Terror at the thought of disfigurement overwhelmed me, and I quickly begged
09:41for mercy. Fine, fine. I'm sorry. Take the dress. I shouldn't have fought you for it.
09:48Revenge could wait. At that moment, saving my face was the priority. However, Vivian still
09:55slashed the blade across my face again. Oh, now you're sorry. Well, it's too late now.
10:04Wench, I won't let you go until I've vented every ounce of my rage. I screamed in pain and
10:09turned to Lucas for help. Lucas, you know my background. Aren't you afraid of the consequences?
10:15If you keep letting her humiliate me like this, you'll regret it. Lucas sneered.
10:20What status could you possibly have? Your mother bewitched my father into forcing this
10:26engagement on me. A vicious gleam flashed in Vivian's gaze. Your mother is a witch, and
10:32I bet you are one too. Strip off and let me see clearly. No! Just then, my phone rang from
10:41inside my bag. I struggled desperately to reach it, but Vivian snatched it first. She swiped
10:46to answer, and my mother's voice came through immediately. Lillabelt? How's the gown shopping
10:52going? I hurriedly shouted for help. Mom! Save me! Someone's hurting me! She's trying to strip
11:00me off! My mother panicked. What? Who's doing this to you? Vivian cut in arrogantly. Me? Your
11:08little witch daughter has been begging for attention, so I'm putting her in her place.
11:12My mother snapped. I don't care who you are. Let my daughter go now, or you'll pay for this
11:16when I get there. Try me. I'll be right here to catch you, you witch! With that, Vivian hung up
11:23my
11:23phone and furled it to the floor. It shattered into pieces. She slapped me across the face again
11:28and sneered. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Huh? When your mother shows up, I'll strip
11:35her down too. Time crawled by. It felt like half a century, but in reality, it had only been five
11:42minutes. Finally, a familiar stretched limousine appeared. My mother stepped out of the car and
11:48demanded, let me see who dares threaten to strip me down. The instant I saw my mother, a wave of
11:55pent-up
11:55grievances surged through me. Mom! I cried as my voice broke with emotion. My mother's heart broke
12:01at the sight of me. She immediately rushed toward me and pulled me into her embrace. I finally felt
12:07safe when I leaned against my mother's chest. The surrounding onlookers gasped in astonishment
12:12at my mother's vehicle. Look! That's a limited edition stretch limousine! Only the extremely rich
12:18and powerful can own that car. It seems Vivian messed with the wrong person this time. Wrong person,
12:24please. Even if she's got connections, nobody could possibly outrank the Goodwin family in this city.
12:30Vivian thought the same too. She charged toward my mother. So you're the witch who raised this brat?
12:36She dared to steal my dress and hit me. Tell me, how are you gonna make this right? My mother
12:42raised her
12:42eyes to look at her. How am I going to make this right? Oblivious to my mother's murderous glare, Vivian
12:49made her demands without restraint. This was my dress, until your trashy daughter put her hands on it.
12:56Now it's ruined. You'll pay ten times the price. And for those slaps, she'll kneel right here and slap
13:04herself twenty times in front of everyone. Most importantly, cancel her engagement with Luke. Do
13:10everything I say. And maybe I'll let you walk out of here in one piece. Otherwise, you're not leaving
13:16this store alive. My mother laughed in disbelief when she heard Vivian's outrageous demands. She gave
13:21my shoulder a reassuring pat before walking toward Vivian. The engagement between Lillebeau and the
13:27Goodwin family will most certainly be cancelled. Lucas could never measure up to being part of our family.
13:32As for the rest of your demands, my mother raised her hand and slapped her face hard. Don't even dream
13:39about it. You're the ones who won't be walking out today. Vivian stood stunned for a second before
13:45attempting to retaliate. My mother's bodyguard kicked her to her knees, then pinned her arms down. After
13:51struggling futilely, Vivian lifted her head to plead with Lucas. Lucas signaled his bodyguards to
14:01intervene, but within seconds they were overpowered and slammed to the floor. The most satisfying part
14:06followed. Lucas himself was forced to my knees before me. My mother did not hold back and slapped
14:12Lucas. I've never laid a finger on Lilibeth since she was born. And you dare humiliate her like this
14:19today. You'll repay this a thousand times over. My mother did not hold back and slapped Lucas.
14:26You old hag! How dare you hit me? I'm the chairman of Goodwin's group. You have no idea what
14:32consequences you'll face. How dare you hurt my daughter? I'd slap your father just like I slapped
14:36you if he's here. The onlookers grew even more shocked. Who does this woman think she is? Mr.
14:43Goodwin Sr. ran the underworld in his youth. After leaving that life behind, he built the Goodwin's group.
14:47Even now, everyone in Floaten shows him respect. She just struck Mr. Goodwin Sr.'s golden boy.
14:54There's no way she's walking away from this. My mother ignored their whispers. She gently touched
14:59my swollen, bleeding cheek. Oh, Lilibel, you've suffered enough. But I'm here now. Don't be afraid.
15:08Do you want payback? Just say the word. I was not the type to turn the other cheek to begin
15:13with.
15:13I certainly would not be after what Vivian just called. I stared at her with a furious gaze.
15:19First, I struck her repeatedly across the face to vent my anger. Then, I picked up the nail
15:25clipper she had used to slash my cheek and slowly brought it closer to her face. Vivian trembled
15:30violently. Don't! Don't you dare touch my face! I'll fight you to the death! Without hesitation,
15:37I made the first cut. She let out a blood-curdling scream as a bleeding gash swelled along one cheek.
15:43I slashed the blade repeatedly. Soon, her face was swollen beyond recognition. It looked bruised
15:48and bloody. She could do nothing but wail in helpless agony as she was pinned down by the bodyguards.
15:56My face... My face is ruined!
15:59It was true that a person would not know the pain until it was theirs to bear.
16:02When she tried to disfigure me, she should have expected retribution.
16:07Lucas, who was nearby, snarled at me.
16:10You psychotic wench! When my father finds out what you did to Vivi, he'll make you pay!
16:16My mother said coldly,
16:17Good. Let Bernard come. We'll see who he punishes. You or us.
16:23My mother immediately took out her phone and called Bernard Goodwin. He answered instantly.
16:28Hello, Denia. What's the matter?
16:31My mother replied coldly,
16:33Bernard, you've certainly raised an exceptional son.
16:37Recognizing her displeasure, Bernard responded with forced laughter,
16:41Denia, what has my useless son done now? Just say the word and I'll punish him severely.
16:47You know, Lilliville is my only daughter. I've cherished her like the apple of my eye since she was born.
16:52Yes, of course. Rest assured, when Mrs. Winsone marries into our family, I won't let her suffer even the slightest
16:59grievance.
17:00My mother's voice trembled with suppressed rage.
17:03Well, your precious boy, Lucas, has let Lilliville suffer a terrible humiliation.
17:09He tied her up and allowed her to be beaten and insulted for the sake of some pretend sister.
17:14How are you going to make this right?
17:17Bernard was in disbelief when he heard this. He then said,
17:20What? That brat hurt Mrs. Winsone? Skin him alive for all I care. Do whatever you want with him.
17:28Lucas, who was kneeling on the floor, shouted,
17:31Dad, has this witch cast a spell on you? These two witches are evil. They ruined Vivi's face and made
17:38me kneel.
17:39Instead of saving me, you're letting them have their way with me. I'm your son!
17:44Bernard roared furiously.
17:46You're a disgrace. After this disaster you've caused, I wish I'd never had you!
17:52Lucas tried to speak again.
17:53My mother ended the call deliberately.
17:55She looked at him with contempt.
17:57Do you still think your father is going to save you?
18:00You black widow.
18:02Don't get cocky.
18:03He's just blowing off steam.
18:05I'm his flesh and blood.
18:07When he comes for me, you're dead.
18:09Ever since I could remember, my father's memory was my mother's most tender spot.
18:14No one would dare broach it.
18:15Lucas truly had a death wish and was walking straight into the line of fire.
18:20As expected, my mother's expression darkened.
18:23She looked at him with a murderous gaze.
18:25I swiftly kicked Lucas in the back.
18:27He sprawled face first onto the floor.
18:31Mom, don't waste your anger on this worthless fool.
18:33Let me handle him.
18:34I know exactly how to deal with them.
18:36With that, I ordered the bodyguards to take both of them away.
18:39I sidled up to mom and whined.
18:42Mom, my face really hurts.
18:44Will you come with me to get it treated first?
18:47My coaxing tone successfully snapped my mother back to rationality.
18:51She gently touched my injured cheek and accompanied me to the hospital.
18:54Floodon's top dermatologists and plastic surgeons gathered to examine me.
18:59After disinfecting my facial wounds,
19:01they discussed treatment plans to ensure no scars would remain.
19:04Once the treatment plan was finalized, the doctors gradually dispersed.
19:08Only my mother and I remained in the ward.
19:11I leaned my head against her shoulder and murmured reassuringly.
19:15Mom, don't take Lucas's words to heart.
19:18Lilibelt, your father really did die because of me.
19:20Do you hate me for making you grow up without a father?
19:23Her voice thickened with guilt and regret.
19:25I shook my head and hugged her tighter.
19:27I knew better than anyone how much she had suffered these years.
19:30My father had been part of the underworld.
19:33He had countless subordinates.
19:35Bernard was just one of his underlings.
19:37Everything changed when he met my mother.
19:39They fell in love at first sight.
19:41The violent womanizer who lived for fights and flings finally settled down.
19:46From that moment, his heart belonged only to my mother.
19:49But this gave my father a weakness.
19:51His enemies repeatedly targeted my mother.
19:53In the end, he sacrificed his life protecting her.
19:56I was less than a year old at the time.
19:58My grandparents said she would have followed my father in death had I not existed.
20:02For my sake, she dragged herself through the grief.
20:05She dissolved my father's underworld organization.
20:08From its members, she selected those with business acumen and funded their ventures.
20:13My mother understood the danger of drawing attention.
20:15To shield me from becoming a target, she maintained a low profile and never appeared before the media or public.
20:21It was no exaggeration to say my mother built three of Floden's major financial empires.
20:26Only a few knew this truth.
20:28This explained why idiots like Lucas remained ignorant of her true status.
20:33That was why he dared spew nonsense.
20:36After a week of medical treatment, my facial injuries healed completely.
20:40My skin became even smoother and more radiant than before.
20:44One day, the housekeeper brought over another gift from Bernard.
20:47It was a 1945 Chateau Lafite.
20:50It was one of only a few left in the world.
20:53It was clear Bernard had gone to great lengths to save his son.
20:56After locking Lucas and Vivian up for a week, it was about time I paid them a visit.
21:01I instructed the housekeeper to inform Bernard who was waiting outside.
21:05Then, I had the bodyguards bring Lucas and Vivian up from the basement.
21:09Those seven short days had transformed them beyond recognition.
21:12Their hair was matted and their bodies reeked of foul odors.
21:16Vivian's facial wounds were left untreated.
21:19It had festered and swollen.
21:21Her entire face had turned into a bloated mess and was ruined beyond repair.
21:25When Lucas spotted Bernard, tears of relief streamed down his face.
21:29He scrambled over on hands and knees.
21:32Dad!
21:33You're finally here!
21:35You have no idea what I've been through these days.
21:38He pointed a shaking finger at me.
21:40It was her!
21:41She locked me in that water cell.
21:44She deprived me of sleep, starved me, and forced me to eat rotten food.
21:50I smiled slightly as I looked at him.
21:53Yet you always licked the bowl clean though, didn't you Mr. Goodwin?
21:57Human survival instincts were truly remarkable.
22:01I had ordered the guards to deliver just one meal of cold, rancid oatmeal per day.
22:05At first, Lucas proudly declared he would rather starve than touch such food.
22:10He was the chairman of Goodwin's group, after all.
22:12But after three days without food, pride became meaningless.
22:16They fought over that putrid oatmeal and even licked their bowls for him.
22:20Lucas glared at me savagely.
22:21You vicious witch!
22:24Now that my father is here, your little game is over.
22:28Sometimes I marveled at life's scales of balance.
22:31When it gave you one thing, it would always take away another.
22:34Clearly, Lucas' intelligence had been traded for his looks.
22:38Before he could finish his threat, Bernard struck him across the head.
22:42You disgrace!
22:44Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
22:47Get on your knees and apologize to Ms. Windshow right now!
22:51Lucas turned to his father, his face twisted in betrayal.
22:55Why should I apologize?
22:57She tortured me for days!
23:00Instead of having my back, why are you taking her side?
23:03Bernard looked at his clueless son in despair.
23:05He was truly at his wit's end.
23:08Since my mother had given strict instructions, Bernard could not reveal my identity.
23:12He could only vent his frustration by kicking Lucas behind the knees and forcing him to kneel before me.
23:18Bernard spoke with cautious deference.
23:20Mrs. Winsway, I know this worthless son of mine has angered you.
23:25Nothing he does will ever make up for it.
23:28But he's my only child.
23:31Please, spare his life.
23:33Witnessing his father's humiliating submission, Lucas finally realized that I was not just some nobody.
23:39Dad, who is she?
23:43We're the Goodwin family.
23:45One of the three most powerful families running this city.
23:48Since when has there been anyone we can't afford to offend?
23:51Bernard glared at him with disgust.
23:53You stupid brat!
23:54How many times have I told you there's always someone above us?
23:58I told you to behave, but you never listened!
24:02Let me make this clear.
24:04Mrs. Winsaw is exactly who we can't afford to offend.
24:09Whether you walk out of here depends entirely on her.
24:13Finally comprehending the gravity of the situation, Lucas's expression shifted from resentment to pure terror.
24:19He stammered and said,
24:21Mrs. Winsfone, I've been a fool.
24:25Please, forgive me.
24:27I sat in my chair as I slowly sipped the coffee beside me before addressing them.
24:33Bernard, you're actually wrong about Lucas.
24:35He wasn't the one who offended me.
24:37It's his sister in all but blood that did.
24:39Lucas merely wanted to stand up for her.
24:41You're such a disgrace!
24:44Instead of learning proper conduct, you're messing around with some pretend sister.
24:48Get that woman out of my sight.
24:50Now!
24:50Seeing this, Vivian instantly realized Lucas was barely keeping his own head above water at the moment.
24:56He could not save himself, much less her.
24:59Just remembering her time in the water cell, she vowed never to suffer like that again.
25:04Her legs gave out.
25:05She collapsed to her knees with a thud and started apologizing frantically.
25:09Mrs. Winsfone, I'm sorry!
25:12I'm sorry!
25:13I'm the worthless poser!
25:15Please forgive me!
25:16Please spare me just this once!
25:19Please!
25:21Please!
25:21I beg you!
25:23Please spare my miserable life!
25:26Her words echoed in the room as she repeatedly begged for forgiveness on her knees.
25:30Lucas finally lowered his proud head in submission.
25:33Mrs. Winsfone, I was blind and foolish to wrong you.
25:37I won't bully people or pull that privileged nonsense again.
25:41Please just give me this one chance.
25:43After finishing my coffee, I set the cup aside.
25:46I looked at the people around me and said calmly,
25:48My, you are all speaking as if I'm some homicidal maniac.
25:53This is a society governed by law.
25:55Do I really look like a criminal to you?
25:58Bernard ventured cautiously.
26:00Mrs. Winsfone, does this mean you're forgiving this idiot?
26:03I smiled.
26:05Of course.
26:06Though they'd hurt me, I've hurt them too.
26:09An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
26:12I'll let this matter end here.
26:14Lucas and Vivian resumed frantically thanking me for their mercy.
26:17I cleared my throat before continuing.
26:20Not only do I forgive you, I intend to grant you a blessing.
26:24The three of them looked confused.
26:27After some digging, I discovered Vivian and Lucas have been dating all along.
26:32They adopted the pretend siblings' pretense.
26:35Because you wouldn't approve, Bernard.
26:38Well, congratulations, lovebirds.
26:40You'll be heading straight to the city hall after this.
26:42You've got exactly seven days to throw a wedding and float on.
26:45My words were met with mixed reactions.
26:48Some were delighted, others horrified.
26:51Vivian had never expected this misfortune to turn into her lucky break.
26:54Her long-held dream of climbing society's ladder by marrying a wealthy man was finally coming true.
27:00A thrill of victory rose in her chest, and she could not help but smile.
27:04However, that smile was particularly grotesque and unsettling on her nearly disfigured face.
27:09The one displeased by this turn of events was naturally Bernard.
27:13He had always looked down on Vivian's background and behavior.
27:16This disaster involving Lucas had been partly caused by her, deepening his disdain toward her.
27:22I observed the three of them, each lost in their own thoughts, and asked,
27:28Well, can you do it?
27:52Sir, miss, how may I assist you?
27:58Lucas glanced at Vivian's swollen face and could not help but feel repulsed, still high on the thrill of bagging
28:05a good one.
28:06Vivian blurted out,
28:07We're here to get married!
28:09Even after years of handling registrations, this was the most bizarre couple the staff had ever encountered.
28:16Most couples dress their best when registering for marriage, but these two looked like refugees fleeing a disaster.
28:22The groom looked especially disgusted and reluctant.
28:24The staff processed their paperwork dutifully despite their appearance.
28:28When my driver reported they had successfully tied a knot, I felt the wicked satisfaction of a prankster seeing their
28:35scheme succeed.
28:36This particular prank, however, would haunt them for life.
28:41A week later, their wedding had the whole internet talking about the Goodwin family.
28:45The viral wedding coverage caused Goodwin's group stocks to plummet.
28:48Their assets were halved, knocking them out of Float On's top three spots.
28:52Though my orchestrated behind the scenes certainly helped.
28:55Bernard blamed Vivian entirely.
28:58He was convinced she had brought misfortune to the Goodwin family.
29:01From the moment she married in, he never showed her even a hint of kindness.
29:05After marriage, Lucas became a habitual womanizer who refused to go home and face Vivian's disfigured face due to the
29:12result of untreated wounds.
29:14Initially, Vivian had been overjoyed about marrying into the Goodwin family.
29:18As time passed, she realized even the housemaids did not regard her as Lucas' legitimate wife.
29:24Her influence within the Goodwin family was negligible.
29:26The meager monthly allowance she received was not even close to her imagined aristocratic lifestyle.
29:32They fought constantly about Lucas' repeated affairs.
29:35Through these constant fights, Vivian grew increasingly paranoid and unstable.
29:39After one particularly vicious quarrel, she snapped.
29:43She stabbed Lucas before ending her own life.
29:46I was vacationing abroad with my mother when we heard the news of their deaths.
29:50Sunlight sifted through the branches.
29:51A new day began in tranquility.
