00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.
00:00:05Today, 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.
00:00:15Jolene!
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.
00:00:39Roofless.
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.
00:01:10No!
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.
00:01:30Who commands a massive empire.
00:01:32Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.
00:01:35Mr. Warren.
00:01:36Please spare us.
00:01:53Who are you?
00:01:55I'm the one sending you to hell.
00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,
00:02:00desperate pleas,
00:02:01and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.
00:02:08How much did Jolene pay you?
00:02:10Five million.
00:02:11She wanted you ruined.
00:02:16Thank you for saving me.
00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.
00:02:25I can cure it.
00:02:27Do you trust me?
00:02:29I trust you.
00:02:30I draw a small blade,
00:02:32make a precise cut on his finger,
00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.
00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,
00:02:36you're going to have to stick close to me.
00:02:39First,
00:02:41I need to end things with the Browns.
00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.
00:02:47When I return home,
00:02:48I find my biological parents and three brothers
00:02:50gathered around Jolana,
00:02:52showering her with care.
00:02:53I close the distance,
00:02:55grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.
00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?
00:03:01Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?
00:03:03You better apologize right now.
00:03:06Catherine,
00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?
00:03:10Maybe we never should have taken you in.
00:03:13Me causing trouble?
00:03:16Why 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.
00:03:25Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:03:27The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.
00:03:31No!
00:03:32It must be fake!
00:03:34Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
00:03:37Or maybe call the police?
00:03:38No!
00:03:38No!
00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!
00:03:41I'm sorry!
00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!
00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.
00:03:47Just drop it!
00:03:48It's either her or me.
00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.
00:03:54In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.
00:03:57So why should I hold on to them?
00:03:59Just as I step outside,
00:04:00a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.
00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?
00:04:07Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.
00:04:10I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.
00:04:17The car glides into the Warren estate.
00:04:20The 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.
00:04:36From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.
00:04:38Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.
00:04:40All right.
00:04:41But I have two conditions.
00:04:43First, 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.
00:04:54But 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.
00:05:10A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.
00:05:13Since 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.
00:05:21This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.
00:05:24Ironic, isn't it?
00:05:25A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.
00:05:29I 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.
00:05:40Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.
00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
00:05:44Who 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?
00:05:59Catherine, 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.
00:06:16That feels even better.
00:06:17This 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 Gerald Douglas, my loyal admirer.
00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?
00:06:44I can't believe it.
00:06:46I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.
00:06:48Good.
00:06:49Oh, 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.
00:06:59Make 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.
00:07:15Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.
00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.
00:07:26I'll bring out the new styles for you.
00:07:30Catherine, what brings you here?
00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.
00:07:35Jolene, 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?
00:07:56Watch 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.
00:08:04What?
00:08:05I saw those first.
00:08:06Saw them first, but can't afford them?
00:08:10Maybe?
00:08:11Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?
00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.
00:08:16I pay and walk out.
00:08:19I watched Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction
00:08:24forces through.
00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.
00:08:30The 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.
00:08:37My makeup refined, but understated.
00:08:40Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.
00:08:44I am Liam Warren's date.
00:08:46The 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?
00:08:58I've never seen her before.
00:09:00She's stunning.
00:09:02Is she from some notable family?
00:09:04I ignore the whispers.
00:09:06My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.
00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm.
00:09:13Playing the part of a cherished woman.
00:09:15But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.
00:09:18Austin freezes too.
00:09:20He 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.
00:09:41I let out a cold laugh.
00:09:43Brother?
00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,
00:09:47did you remember you were my brother then?
00:09:52Catherine is with me.
00:09:54His words are dripping with authority.
00:09:59Jolene approaches, her expression dark.
00:10:02Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
00:10:05You never mentioned anything.
00:10:06And didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?
00:10:11I 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.
00:10:25Why 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.
00:10:48Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?
00:10:51Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?
00:10:59Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?
00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns,
00:11:07and I meant every word.
00:11:10Excuse me.
00:11:11Excuse me.
00:11:12Excuse me.
00:11:13Excuse me.
00:11:15Excuse me.
00:11:16Excuse me.
00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.
00:11:19Did you catch that?
00:11:21Liam said it himself.
00:11:23She's with him.
00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?
00:11:29Wait, Catherine?
00:11:31Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth
00:11:34and brought back from some remote place?
00:11:37Judging by Jolene's little comments,
00:11:39the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.
00:11:43Look at Deccan's face.
00:11:45Is he starting to regret dumping her?
00:11:49I don't look back,
00:11:51but 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.
00:12:05A masterpiece.
00:12:10Dazzling.
00:12:12Priceless.
00:12:14But I've never been interested in jewelry.
00:12:16No matter how valuable,
00:12:18they're just stones.
00:12:19Just then,
00:12:20I hear a familiar voice.
00:12:22It's Jolene.
00:12:24Austin,
00:12:24this necklace is stunning.
00:12:26I really like it.
00:12:30Austin understands immediately.
00:12:32His eyes grow determined.
00:12:35Huh.
00:12:35Same as always.
00:12:37Whatever Jolene wants,
00:12:38Austin gives her.
00:12:44Once I was jealous.
00:12:45Now,
00:12:47I just find it ridiculous.
00:12:50Going once.
00:12:52Going twice.
00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,
00:12:55a deep voice echoes from the back.
00:12:5850 million.
00:13:0050 million.
00:13:01Sold.
00:13:03Congratulations,
00:13:04Mr. Warren.
00:13:04Liam walks up to the stage
00:13:07and claims the necklace.
00:13:13Then,
00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,
00:13:16he returns to me
00:13:17and fastens the necklace
00:13:19around my neck.
00:13:24It looks good on you.
00:13:27Thank 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.
00:13:36I 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.
00:13:47After the auction wraps up,
00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.
00:13:51Catherine,
00:13:52you really are something.
00:13:53A few days away
00:13:54and you've already hooked onto Liam.
00:13:56Nothing as impressive
00:13:57as your lifelong mastery
00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.
00:14:00Why do you always target me?
00:14:02Cut it out.
00:14:03There's no audience here,
00:14:04so no need to pretend.
00:14:05Jolene spots Declan approaching
00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,
00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.
00:14:11Catherine,
00:14:12even if you dislike me,
00:14:14isn't this too much?
00:14:15Throwing juice on me?
00:14:17What happened?
00:14:18Declan,
00:14:19it's okay.
00:14:20I must have upset Catherine.
00:14:22Catherine,
00:14:23you still haven't grown up.
00:14:24Jolene is your sister.
00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine
00:14:30and flick my wrist,
00:14:31sending the whole glass
00:14:32onto Jolene's dress.
00:14:34There.
00:14:35That's something I actually did.
00:14:37and I only take responsibility
00:14:38for my own actions.
00:14:40Jolene is stunned.
00:14:42Declan freezes.
00:14:45Seems I arrived
00:14:46just after all the excitement ending.
00:14:48Quite the lesson
00:14:49in the Brown family's manners today.
00:14:52Mr. Warren,
00:14:53this is a misunderstanding.
00:14:56Misunderstanding?
00:14:57There are security cameras here.
00:15:01Review them if clarity is needed.
00:15:04Whispers erupt around them.
00:15:10Jolene's face goes from scarlet
00:15:12to ghostly pale.
00:15:15Let's go.
00:15:16The atmosphere here
00:15:17is suffocating.
00:15:18A fierce satisfaction
00:15:19rising in my chest.
00:15:21This time,
00:15:21I don't have to hold back anymore.
00:15:23Back in the Brown family,
00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.
00:15:26And all it got me
00:15:27was them pushing harder
00:15:28every time.
00:15:28Now,
00:15:29no one could step on me again.
00:15:36The following morning,
00:15:38I walk into the living area
00:15:39and notice Liam
00:15:41is already awake.
00:15:54Good morning.
00:15:56Morning.
00:15:58I head to the kitchen
00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.
00:16:05Just then,
00:16:06Liam's friend arrives.
00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty
00:16:16who stunned everyone last night?
00:16:18That's Catherine Brown,
00:16:19my new personal doctor.
00:16:22You're serious?
00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough
00:16:26that I can't ignore it.
00:16:28Mr. Moreno,
00:16:29perhaps you should
00:16:30take things easy.
00:16:31Your dark under eyes
00:16:33and shortness of breath
00:16:34suggest your vitality
00:16:35is running low.
00:16:36Winfred's face
00:16:37flushes immediately.
00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.
00:16:40What nonsense
00:16:41are you spouting?
00:16:42Miss Brown,
00:16:43I'm not one to judge
00:16:44by appearances.
00:16:45But Liam's condition
00:16:46is severe.
00:16:46Many top experts
00:16:48have been stumped.
00:16:49And you?
00:16:49I'm not bothered.
00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt
00:16:52many times before.
00:16:54We'll see soon enough.
00:16:56Winred,
00:16:57maybe you ought to let
00:16:58Dr. Brown give you
00:16:59a prescription.
00:17:02Liam,
00:17:03are you kidding me?
00:17:04This girl
00:17:04is not just some girl.
00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.
00:17:07Right now,
00:17:08she's the one
00:17:08keeping me alive.
00:17:09He then turns to me.
00:17:11Can you really fix me?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:1630 minutes later,
00:17:18I begin the first
00:17:19acupuncture session.
00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,
00:17:23exposing his toned chest.
00:17:26I pull out the silver needles
00:17:28and insert them
00:17:29with speed and precision.
00:17:34When the last needle
00:17:36is inserted,
00:17:37Liam's body shivers.
00:17:39And he spits out
00:17:40dark red clotted blood.
00:17:46What did you just do to him,
00:17:48Dr. Brown?
00:17:48How are you feeling now?
00:17:55I feel great.
00:17:57Lighter than I have
00:17:58in a long time.
00:17:59Don't let yourself
00:18:00get too stressed.
00:18:01And most importantly,
00:18:03you'll need to prioritize
00:18:04rest and abstinence.
00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.
00:18:08I'll take your advice seriously.
00:18:10Winfred leans in
00:18:11and quietly asks
00:18:12if I can help
00:18:13with his health.
00:18:17I go back to my room
00:18:18and return with
00:18:19a bottle of pills.
00:18:21These are pills
00:18:22for male vitality.
00:18:23One bottle
00:18:24costs $100,000.
00:18:26$100,000?
00:18:27Are these pills
00:18:28made of solid gold?
00:18:30The ingredients are rare
00:18:31and the process
00:18:32is complicated.
00:18:33Quality always demands
00:18:35a premium price.
00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.
00:18:38A sports car
00:18:39can be repaired,
00:18:40but if your health fails,
00:18:42no sum of money
00:18:43will grant you
00:18:43a second chance.
00:18:45The following morning,
00:18:46just as I prepare to leave,
00:18:48my phone buzzles
00:18:49with a call from Austin.
00:18:52Catherine,
00:18:53come back here right now.
00:18:54What is it?
00:18:55You'll find out
00:18:56when you get here.
00:18:57I realize that
00:18:58for the sake of my own peace,
00:18:59cutting all connections
00:19:00with the Brown family
00:19:01is necessary.
00:19:04The mood in the living room
00:19:05is thick with tension.
00:19:11Look who's back.
00:19:13How did you sink
00:19:14so low at your age,
00:19:15becoming someone's mistress?
00:19:18Catherine,
00:19:19I'm only trying to help you.
00:19:21I'm afraid you're being misled.
00:19:23Who I decide to be with
00:19:25is my own business.
00:19:27It doesn't concern your family.
00:19:29You're a Brown!
00:19:32Everything you do
00:19:33stains our family's name!
00:19:37Catherine,
00:19:38seriously,
00:19:38do you think Liam
00:19:39would ever give you
00:19:40the time of day?
00:19:41Are you all finished?
00:19:43First,
00:19:44Liam and I have a strictly
00:19:46doctor-patient relationship.
00:19:47Second,
00:19:48even if there were something else,
00:19:50it's none of your business.
00:19:52And don't forget
00:19:53that I am no longer
00:19:54part of your family.
00:19:56You said you cut ties,
00:19:57so give back
00:19:58the Brown group's shares.
00:20:02Those shares came
00:20:03from Grandpa.
00:20:05You don't have a single
00:20:07right to any of it.
00:20:08I pull out my phone
00:20:09and show them the screen.
00:20:11Since I stepped in,
00:20:12I've been recording
00:20:14all your insults,
00:20:15threats,
00:20:16and schemes
00:20:16to grab the shares.
00:20:17keep pushing me
00:20:19and I won't hesitate
00:20:20to hand this over
00:20:21to the press
00:20:22and the law.
00:20:25I put my phone away,
00:20:26feeling nothing.
00:20:28I used to put up
00:20:29with everything
00:20:30you threw at me.
00:20:32Now it's your turn
00:20:33to taste
00:20:34what it feels like
00:20:35to be on the other end
00:20:36of a threat.
00:20:39I leave the Brown family home
00:20:41and prepare to go back.
00:20:46Suddenly,
00:20:46a voice calls out,
00:20:49is that really you?
00:20:50Where have you been hiding?
00:20:51I look at the woman
00:20:52before me.
00:20:54She's nearly 50,
00:20:56her face lined
00:20:57with wrinkles,
00:20:58her expression
00:20:59mean and petty.
00:21:00What do you want?
00:21:01You must have money
00:21:03if you're surviving
00:21:03this well.
00:21:04My son needs school fees
00:21:06and you owe me
00:21:07half a million.
00:21:08If you don't pay up,
00:21:09I'll make a scene
00:21:10outside your place
00:21:11every single day.
00:21:13If you need cash,
00:21:14ask your real daughter,
00:21:15Jolene.
00:21:16I raised you
00:21:17all those years
00:21:18so you should
00:21:19compensate me.
00:21:20You ungrateful brat.
00:21:22Stay out of my way.
00:21:24Otherwise,
00:21:24I won't hesitate
00:21:25to involve the police
00:21:26and reopening the case
00:21:27about you switching infants.
00:21:29You...
00:21:29Don't do anything, Rash.
00:21:32I'll...
00:21:32Bridget scurries off
00:21:34in panic.
00:21:38Just then,
00:21:39a sleek black Rolls Royce
00:21:41glides to a stop
00:21:42beside me.
00:21:44The window lowers,
00:21:45revealing Liam's
00:21:46handsome face.
00:21:48Do you need a hand?
00:21:50No, it's nothing serious.
00:21:51I've already taken care of it.
00:21:54Get in.
00:21:55It's nearly impossible
00:21:56to catch a taxi here.
00:21:57I hesitate,
00:21:59but eventually
00:21:59get into the car.
00:22:01Bridget's appearance
00:22:02reminds me of one thing.
00:22:04The Brown family's
00:22:05troubles aren't over.
00:22:06That woman's greed
00:22:07is bottomless.
00:22:08She won't let this go.
00:22:10But that's fine.
00:22:11I'm no longer
00:22:12that little girl
00:22:13who let others
00:22:14push her around.
00:22:16Anyone who wants
00:22:17to come after me
00:22:18had better think twice.
00:22:22On the weekend,
00:22:23Gerard asks to meet me
00:22:25at Harborview Genie,
00:22:26a popular restaurant.
00:22:31Catherine?
00:22:32I turn around
00:22:33and my eyes
00:22:34fall on Jaleen,
00:22:35standing with the Browns
00:22:37and the Fultons.
00:22:38Did you hear
00:22:39we'd be here
00:22:40and decide to show up
00:22:41just to cause a scene?
00:22:42Mr. Brown,
00:22:43I'm here for the food.
00:22:46Just then,
00:22:47a clear voice
00:22:48cuts through the tension.
00:22:51Miss Catherine Brown,
00:22:52you're here.
00:22:53Welcome.
00:22:54Please follow me.
00:22:55Everyone stares in shock
00:22:56as I walk toward
00:22:57the most private,
00:22:58rarely accessible suite
00:22:59in the entire restaurant.
00:23:02How is she getting in there?
00:23:03There must be some mistake.
00:23:06I push open the suite door
00:23:08and Gerard immediately
00:23:09rises from his seat.
00:23:12Catherine,
00:23:13you made it.
00:23:14Gerard tells me
00:23:15his uncle has been
00:23:15diagnosed with a brain tumor.
00:23:17He says the required surgery
00:23:19carries an extremely high risk.
00:23:25start with this medication.
00:23:27Come back in a week
00:23:27for a follow-up.
00:23:28We'll reassess then.
00:23:34Thank you, Catherine.
00:23:35I was sure
00:23:36you'd have a solution.
00:23:38After the meal,
00:23:39Gerard leans forward
00:23:40and asks if I need help
00:23:41with anything.
00:23:43I want to buy a house.
00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,
00:23:47but it must be extremely quiet
00:23:48and private
00:23:49with top-tier security.
00:23:51I'll handle it.
00:23:52I'll find something
00:23:52perfect for you.
00:23:53Oh, and you're starting
00:23:54at Araylis University
00:23:55next 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!
00:24:03I'm getting a formal degree
00:24:04and taking care
00:24:05of some personal business.
00:24:06Campus life
00:24:07isn't a bad experience
00:24:08after all.
00:24:11The manager hands me
00:24:12an exclusive
00:24:13premium membership card
00:24:14saying all my expenses here
00:24:16will be on the house
00:24:17from now on.
00:24:19I glance over at Gerard
00:24:20and he breaks into a grin.
00:24:22Don't refuse it.
00:24:24This is our business,
00:24:25so just enjoy it.
00:24:29Fine.
00:24:30After being chased away
00:24:32from my private suite,
00:24:33Jolene drags herself
00:24:34to her family's box.
00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?
00:24:49Mom, I'm fine.
00:24:50I just stepped out
00:24:52to see who Catherine
00:24:52was meeting.
00:24:53I was worried about her.
00:24:55but she had me pushed away.
00:24:58What?
00:24:59How dare she treat you
00:25:01that way?
00:25:02That ungrateful girl!
00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.
00:25:07I saw it too.
00:25:09The manager was treating Catherine
00:25:11with a lot of respect.
00:25:12Yes.
00:25:13That man had an aura
00:25:14you can't fake.
00:25:16Catherine is clearly
00:25:17in the high circles.
00:25:18No wonder she's trying
00:25:20to distance herself
00:25:21from us.
00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.
00:25:32Who knows
00:25:33what kind of company
00:25:34she's keeping now?
00:25:36Jolene's heart swells
00:25:37with secret satisfaction.
00:25:39I have burned my bridges
00:25:40with the family for good.
00:25:43She is the Brown family's
00:25:45one and only daughter now.
00:25:47The dinner finally ends
00:25:49and the two families
00:25:50part way at the restaurant entrance.
00:25:53When an unexpected grating voice
00:25:55rings out behind Jolene,
00:25:57she turn around
00:25:58and her smile freezes.
00:26:00It's her.
00:26:02Jolene!
00:26:03My dear daughter!
00:26:05Finally!
00:26:06I've found you!
00:26:07Her blood runs cold.
00:26:10Jolene,
00:26:11your younger brother
00:26:13needs money for school.
00:26:15Maybe you could help us out?
00:26:20I don't have time
00:26:21for this ridiculous farce.
00:26:22Take this
00:26:23and never show your face
00:26:24around me again.
00:26:26Jolene,
00:26:26this isn't nearly enough.
00:26:28The tuition alone
00:26:29is a hundred thousand.
00:26:30Her hands tremble
00:26:31with unbridled rage.
00:26:33This wretched woman
00:26:34just won't know her place.
00:26:35I don't know you!
00:26:37My parents already paid you enough
00:26:39to cut ties
00:26:39all those years ago.
00:26:45I can't let this go on.
00:26:47I need to find a way
00:26:48to get rid of this problem
00:26:49for good.
00:26:50The day I've been waiting for
00:26:52has finally arrived.
00:26:53My first day reporting
00:26:55to Ararius University.
00:27:09is this your sister?
00:27:11Since when does
00:27:12Avalius University
00:27:13let random nobodies walk in?
00:27:15Well, isn't this
00:27:16a lovely coincidence, Jolene?
00:27:17Looks like we're going
00:27:19to be classmates.
00:27:20Classmates?
00:27:21You and me?
00:27:22Don't be ridiculous.
00:27:25The lecture bell
00:27:26chimes sharp and clear
00:27:28and Professor Lambert Carter
00:27:29steps through the door.
00:27:30He's a living legend
00:27:32in the global medical field,
00:27:34the heart of this school's
00:27:35medical program.
00:27:36He turns to the class
00:27:37and poses an extremely complex
00:27:40peer-reviewed medical question.
00:27:43The entire lecture hall
00:27:45falls dead silent,
00:27:46not a single student
00:27:47daring to speak up.
00:27:51Young lady,
00:27:53please tell us
00:27:53what you think.
00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly,
00:27:56no trace of panic
00:27:57in my movements,
00:27:58and stand up.
00:27:59I lay out my analysis
00:28:00clearly and concisely,
00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,
00:28:04clinical data,
00:28:05and real surgical cases
00:28:06effortlessly.
00:28:09She's incredible.
00:28:10Total beauty and brains.
00:28:12Who even is she?
00:28:15Jolene's face burns
00:28:16with jealousy,
00:28:17her grip tight on her pen.
00:28:20When the final bell rings,
00:28:22I walk out of the lecture hall.
00:28:24Jolene steps in front of me
00:28:26with Paige and Brenna.
00:28:28Catherine,
00:28:29just a few days away,
00:28:30and suddenly you're the one
00:28:32catching everyone's attention.
00:28:34Jolene?
00:28:34She's probably pulling stunts
00:28:36she'd never admit out loud.
00:28:38Exactly.
00:28:39Everyone whispers
00:28:40she knows how to charm
00:28:41the right people.
00:28:42Is that all?
00:28:44Now,
00:28:45move aside, mutt.
00:28:48What did you just say?
00:28:50Paige steps forward
00:28:51to push me.
00:28:53I'm not going to warn you twice.
00:28:55Hands to yourselves.
00:29:00Catherine!
00:29:01You can't just touch
00:29:01people like that!
00:29:02Jolene,
00:29:03keep your little gang in check.
00:29:05If they open their mouths
00:29:06like that again,
00:29:07next time won't be so friendly.
00:29:09Watch your tone.
00:29:10You're messing with
00:29:11the Brown family's reputation.
00:29:15The Brown family?
00:29:17That's your problem,
00:29:18not mine.
00:29:20Stop pretending.
00:29:21It's pathetic.
00:29:23I turn and walk away.
00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion
00:29:33and find Liam in the living room.
00:29:37You were out?
00:29:39Yeah.
00:29:40I stopped by Aurelius University
00:29:42to check in.
00:29:43Also took a look at a new place
00:29:44while I was out.
00:29:46You're moving out?
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48Staying here long term
00:29:49isn't practical.
00:29:50Your treatment has leveled out.
00:29:52It won't interfere
00:29:53with your progress.
00:29:54Where's the new place?
00:29:55I offer the building
00:29:56and unit number
00:29:57of Sterling Haven
00:29:58without hesitation.
00:29:59Then I prepare
00:30:00a medicinal shower.
00:30:02The water warmed perfectly.
00:30:04A thin mist
00:30:06curling through the room.
00:30:08It's ready?
00:30:10Liam walks toward
00:30:11the treatment area,
00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt
00:30:13as he moves.
00:30:14His long fingers
00:30:16loosen the fabric,
00:30:17revealing toned muscles
00:30:19and defined contours.
00:30:22Take the pants off too.
00:30:27What's the matter?
00:30:29Feeling shy now?
00:30:30After some hesitation,
00:30:31Liam strips down
00:30:32to his briefs
00:30:33and eases himself
00:30:34into the steaming water.
00:30:36Though composed moments ago,
00:30:38my eyes flicker briefly.
00:30:40It's not like
00:30:41this is the first time
00:30:43I've treated him.
00:30:44Why am I so flustered?
00:30:47Get it together, Catherine.
00:30:48You're a doctor.
00:30:49Stay professional.
00:30:51Don't let a handsome face
00:30:52and a good body
00:30:53throw you off.
00:30:55The next day,
00:30:56I head to the lab
00:30:57to find Lambert.
00:30:59Perfect timing.
00:31:00I've been wrestling
00:31:01with this data all morning.
00:31:02Come check this out.
00:31:08The two of us
00:31:09slip effortlessly
00:31:10into a heated discussion.
00:31:19Professor Carter,
00:31:21sorry to interrupt,
00:31:21but there's something
00:31:22I'm unsure about saying.
00:31:23If you have something
00:31:24to say,
00:31:25just say it.
00:31:26Professor,
00:31:27I know you prize
00:31:28real skill,
00:31:29but Kathleen
00:31:30is not who you think
00:31:31she is.
00:31:32She never attended
00:31:33a proper university.
00:31:34How could she grasp
00:31:35complex medical research?
00:31:36I'm afraid you're
00:31:37being deceived.
00:31:38Enough!
00:31:40Jolene,
00:31:41I don't know
00:31:41what you're trying
00:31:42to do with these accusations,
00:31:43but I've seen enough
00:31:44to know true talent
00:31:45when it's in front of me.
00:31:47Catherine identified
00:31:48the error
00:31:48the moment she looked at it.
00:31:50Most PhD candidates
00:31:51wouldn't even catch
00:31:52this mistake
00:31:53the first time around.
00:31:54Tell me,
00:31:55how could anyone
00:31:56possibly fake
00:31:57that level of understanding?
00:32:03Professor Carter,
00:32:04I...
00:32:05I know true talent
00:32:06when I see it.
00:32:07I don't need
00:32:08your commentary.
00:32:09Now,
00:32:10please step outside.
00:32:19In that moment,
00:32:21I knew I'd found
00:32:22someone who saw me,
00:32:23not the lies
00:32:24they spread about me.
00:32:32Hey,
00:32:34I'm Catherine Brown.
00:32:35Just as I walked
00:32:36into the classroom
00:32:37and took my seat,
00:32:38I noticed the girl
00:32:40next to me,
00:32:41her cheek marked
00:32:42by a dark birthmark.
00:32:44Hi,
00:32:45I'm Claudia Norris.
00:32:51Well,
00:32:52well,
00:32:52what do we have here?
00:32:53One caught attention
00:32:55by pure chance
00:32:56and the other...
00:32:56Well,
00:32:57the problem's
00:32:58pretty obvious.
00:32:59The snickling spread
00:33:00through the classroom
00:33:00in an instant.
00:33:01Every gaze nailed
00:33:02onto the two of us.
00:33:03Oh,
00:33:04come on,
00:33:05everyone.
00:33:05Don't be so harsh.
00:33:07Professor Carter
00:33:08thinks the world
00:33:09of Catherine.
00:33:13So she's really
00:33:14riding Professor Carter's
00:33:15coattails
00:33:15to get into med school?
00:33:16How pathetic.
00:33:18Oh,
00:33:19wow,
00:33:19Catherine,
00:33:20your shoes!
00:33:20They're the exact same
00:33:21as Jolene's!
00:33:23Come on,
00:33:24Catherine,
00:33:24you actually showed up
00:33:25wearing fake shoes?
00:33:27That's bold.
00:33:30Still,
00:33:31it's embarrassing
00:33:32as hell.
00:33:38All eyes
00:33:39in that instant
00:33:40were pinned
00:33:41on my feet.
00:33:44I feel like being judged
00:33:45in a high society party.
00:33:48The murmur
00:33:48in the room
00:33:49quickly grows
00:33:50into a loud buzz.
00:33:52Most of them
00:33:53were convinced
00:33:54the shoes on my feet
00:33:55were fake.
00:33:56Hey,
00:33:57Catherine,
00:33:58if you like those shoes,
00:33:59I don't mind
00:34:00lending you mine.
00:34:01Wearing fakes
00:34:02is bad.
00:34:03Thanks,
00:34:04but I'm pretty selective.
00:34:06I don't wear
00:34:07other people's shoes.
00:34:08Besides,
00:34:09we still don't actually
00:34:11know who's rocking
00:34:12the fakes,
00:34:12do we?
00:34:14I slowed
00:34:15my movements
00:34:16deliberately,
00:34:16lifted my foot,
00:34:17and aimed the heel
00:34:19straight at the crowd.
00:34:20Is that
00:34:21real?
00:34:22Of course.
00:34:23Here's what I know.
00:34:24every pair designed
00:34:25by Future's lead designer
00:34:27Alan Lewis
00:34:28comes with
00:34:29a unique
00:34:30serial number
00:34:31and the designer's
00:34:33initials,
00:34:34AL,
00:34:34engraved on the
00:34:35inside heel.
00:34:36It can't be.
00:34:37But it is.
00:34:41Jolene,
00:34:42why don't you have
00:34:43a look inside
00:34:43your own heel?
00:34:45I'm not scared!
00:34:46She raises her foot
00:34:47and turns the inside
00:34:48of the heel
00:34:48toward everyone.
00:34:49It's empty.
00:34:54impossible!
00:34:55My shoes are real!
00:34:57The marks are just
00:34:58worn down from use!
00:34:59You can barely
00:35:00see it now!
00:35:01Oh, really?
00:35:03Future's
00:35:03anti-counterfeit system
00:35:04is one of the most
00:35:05advanced in the world.
00:35:06Unless the shoes
00:35:07are completely wrecked,
00:35:09the serial number
00:35:10doesn't just disappear.
00:35:11Want to check right now?
00:35:13No!
00:35:13That won't be necessary!
00:35:14I must have just
00:35:15made a mistake!
00:35:17You wanted to
00:35:18embarrass me
00:35:19in front of everyone?
00:35:20Jolene,
00:35:21you seem to forget.
00:35:22What I do best
00:35:24is tear apart
00:35:24cheap facades
00:35:25like yours.
00:35:26After school,
00:35:27Jolene storms
00:35:28out of campus,
00:35:29fuming.
00:35:30Austin is there
00:35:31to pick her up.
00:35:37Jolene,
00:35:37what's going on?
00:35:38Did someone
00:35:39mess with you?
00:35:39Austin!
00:35:41Those limited
00:35:42edition shoes
00:35:42you got for me?
00:35:45Catherine showed up
00:35:46wearing the exact
00:35:47same pair
00:35:47and accused mine
00:35:48of being fake!
00:35:51Showtime.
00:35:57Catherine, wait!
00:36:04What gives you
00:36:04the right
00:36:05to accuse
00:36:05Jolene's shoes
00:36:06of be fake?
00:36:11Just take the shoes
00:36:12to the store
00:36:13for verification.
00:36:14Verify them?
00:36:15Who do you
00:36:16think you are?
00:36:25Lucky for me,
00:36:27Future's Black Gold
00:36:27members get
00:36:28priority verification.
00:36:31The Future Black Card?
00:36:33How the hell
00:36:33does she have that?
00:36:34Austin,
00:36:35let's just get
00:36:35get this over with!
00:36:43No, forget it.
00:36:44This isn't worth
00:36:44the headache.
00:36:45Let's just go home.
00:37:01What's going on here?
00:37:04Liam gets out of the car,
00:37:06moving with authority.
00:37:11They look at him
00:37:12nervously,
00:37:13like rats
00:37:14looking at a cat.
00:37:16Mr. Warren,
00:37:18is everything alright?
00:37:20Mr. Warren,
00:37:21it's nothing serious.
00:37:23Catherine just
00:37:24insisted my shoes
00:37:25weren't real.
00:37:30Do you need any help?
00:37:31No, it's fine.
00:37:33Nothing to worry about.
00:37:35Mr. Warren,
00:37:36this is a private
00:37:37family matter.
00:37:38Family matter?
00:37:40If Catherine's involved,
00:37:42it's my business too.
00:37:47Let's go.
00:37:48Dinner's waiting.
00:37:56Your turn is over.
00:37:58Fake shoes
00:37:58always end up
00:37:59rubbing the heel raw.
00:38:01You might want
00:38:02to change yours.
00:38:11I feel a quiet thrill
00:38:13of satisfaction.
00:38:14You thought you could
00:38:15humiliate me
00:38:16with fake shoes?
00:38:17Look how that backfired.
00:38:20Back in the Brown family,
00:38:21I always had to
00:38:22bite my tongue
00:38:23and step aside.
00:38:25now with Liam
00:38:26backing me up,
00:38:29I have nothing
00:38:30to fear.
00:38:40The next afternoon,
00:38:42I wheel a small suitcase
00:38:43to my new home,
00:38:45Sterling Haven.
00:38:46Just as I step
00:38:47out of the car,
00:38:48Catherine?
00:38:49a familiar voice
00:38:50calls out behind me.
00:38:53I turn and see
00:38:54Declan and Jolene
00:38:55standing not far away.
00:38:57What's going on here?
00:38:59Why are you
00:39:00at this place?
00:39:01Catherine,
00:39:02why are you
00:39:02hauling a suitcase here?
00:39:04Are you sure
00:39:05you haven't gotten
00:39:05the wrong place?
00:39:07This is Sterling Haven.
00:39:09If you don't want
00:39:09the security guards
00:39:10kicking you out,
00:39:11you better leave.
00:39:12I live here.
00:39:13So yeah,
00:39:14I'm pretty sure
00:39:15I know my own address.
00:39:16Your home?
00:39:17Wait,
00:39:18are you working here?
00:39:19like on the staff?
00:39:20I can't help
00:39:21but laugh.
00:39:22Jolene,
00:39:23your imagination
00:39:23is wild.
00:39:25So tell me,
00:39:26what about you two?
00:39:27Are you here
00:39:28to apply for janitor
00:39:29or security jobs?
00:39:30Declan and I
00:39:31are here,
00:39:32looking for a place
00:39:33to settle down.
00:39:34Our wedding apartment,
00:39:35actually.
00:39:37I calmly reach
00:39:38into my bag
00:39:39and pull out
00:39:39an access card,
00:39:43tapping it
00:39:44against the reader.
00:39:47A beep confirms access.
00:39:52Declan and Jolene
00:39:53freeze in shock.
00:39:57Just moved
00:39:58into Sterling Haven
00:39:59and the silence
00:40:00of the night
00:40:01was shattered.
00:40:04There's a race
00:40:05tomorrow evening.
00:40:06The prize is huge.
00:40:07Feeling the itch?
00:40:09Who's racing?
00:40:11The same arrogant
00:40:12group of wealthy
00:40:13young men.
00:40:14they've been
00:40:15throwing challenges
00:40:15at Evora.
00:40:17Oh,
00:40:18and the Brown family
00:40:20will be there too.
00:40:21What's the prize?
00:40:23A million dollars
00:40:24plus a limited edition
00:40:26sports car.
00:40:27Send me the details.
00:40:31Since they're throwing
00:40:32themselves at me,
00:40:33I see no reason
00:40:33to refuse.
00:40:37Four in the afternoon,
00:40:39I drive towards
00:40:40the racetrack
00:40:41in the suburb.
00:40:56I sign that name.
00:40:58The one
00:40:58they both dread
00:40:59and go mad over.
00:41:05Oh,
00:41:06it's Evora!
00:41:07Our idol
00:41:07Evora has arrived!
00:41:12It's probably
00:41:13just someone
00:41:13pretending.
00:41:18She wouldn't show up
00:41:19for a small race
00:41:20like this.
00:41:29Just then,
00:41:30that flashy blue
00:41:31GTR
00:41:32pulled up
00:41:32right in front
00:41:33of me.
00:41:36Catherine?
00:41:38What are you doing
00:41:39here?
00:41:40This isn't a playground
00:41:41for careless drivers.
00:41:45If trash like you
00:41:46is allowed here,
00:41:47why shouldn't I be?
00:41:52Explain yourself!
00:41:57As if I'm going
00:41:58to.
00:42:01As expected,
00:42:03he 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.
00:42:10Laying hands
00:42:11on 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
00:42:21Catherine again,
00:42:23you'll regret it.
00:42:27We'll settle this
00:42:28on the race course.
00:42:29Hopefully you don't
00:42:30crash out
00:42:31in the first round.
00:42:33The signal light
00:42:34blinks on,
00:42:35and the five engines
00:42:36roar to life.
00:42:37The green light
00:42:37flashes,
00:42:38and Jackson's
00:42:39GTR
00:42:39shoots forward.
00:42:40At the first
00:42:41corner,
00:42:42I execute a drift
00:42:43unlike anything
00:42:44he'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.
00:42:55I flow through
00:42:56every bed
00:42:56as if I designed
00:42:57them myself.
00:43:00It's Yvera!
00:43:01She's really
00:43:02the legendary Yvera!
00:43:10My gray car
00:43:11shoots through
00:43:12the final stretch
00:43:13and crosses
00:43:14the finish line
00:43:15first.
00:43:28I push open
00:43:29the door
00:43:29and pull off
00:43:30my helmet,
00:43:30my ponytail
00:43:31swinging in the breeze.
00:43:35My face stays calm,
00:43:37showing no excitement.
00:43:48You...
00:43:49You're really Yvera?
00:43:54Tell me,
00:43:55who's the idiot now?
00:43:59So you were tricking us
00:44:01this whole time?
00:44:02On the day I returned,
00:44:03I told all of you
00:44:04I liked racing.
00:44:06but not a single one
00:44:07of you ever bothered
00:44:08to listen.
00:44:11I step around
00:44:12Jackson and walk off
00:44:13without looking back.
00:44:18I never wanted to
00:44:20flaunt being Yvera.
00:44:22But since you kept
00:44:23pushing,
00:44:24now you get to see
00:44:25who the real
00:44:25Catherine Brown
00:44:26really is.
00:44:50he drops the video
00:44:52into the group chat
00:44:52and tags Liam directly.
00:44:58Liam,
00:44:59you have to see this.
00:45:00I swear it'll
00:45:01knock you sideways.
00:45:02Please.
00:45:03Nothing on earth
00:45:04surprises Liam.
00:45:05What nonsense
00:45:06are you stirring up now?
00:45:14Liam opens the video,
00:45:16sees me stepping out
00:45:17of the gray car,
00:45:18and a flicker of real shock
00:45:20crosses eyes.
00:45:22It's her.
00:45:27Okay,
00:45:28I'm genuinely
00:45:28blown away.
00:45:29Liam,
00:45:30what kind of divine helper
00:45:31do you have in your life?
00:45:32This woman is pure magic.
00:45:34Told you.
00:45:35I knew even Liam
00:45:36couldn't stay calm
00:45:37after this.
00:45:54Catherine,
00:45:55just how much
00:45:56are you still hiding?
00:46:02The next day,
00:46:03I walk into the classroom.
00:46:06Catherine,
00:46:07I got you
00:46:08your favorite coffee.
00:46:09I smile
00:46:09and pull out
00:46:10a delicate porcelain
00:46:11bottle from my bag.
00:46:14Apply this ointment
00:46:15to 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.
00:46:21Do you really think
00:46:22it will work?
00:46:23A mocking laugh
00:46:24cuts through the air.
00:46:25Consistency is the key.
00:46:27I'm confident
00:46:28it'll heal.
00:46:32Seriously?
00:46:32You actually think
00:46:34a 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.
00:46:41Apologize.
00:46:42Why should I apologize?
00:46:44I'm just speaking
00:46:45the truth.
00:46:46Catherine,
00:46:47Paige can be a bit blunt.
00:46:49She didn't mean
00:46:50to be hurtful.
00:46:52Paige was only
00:46:53trying to warn you.
00:46:54The ointments
00:46:55you're handing out
00:46:55aren't officially approved.
00:46:57If Claudian's condition
00:46:59gets worse,
00:47:00that 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
00:47:06without a shred
00:47:07of proof?
00:47:12Tell me,
00:47:13have you ever
00:47:13actually tested
00:47:14these ointments
00:47:15yourself?
00:47:16Claudian,
00:47:17use your ointment
00:47:17without any worries.
00:47:19If anything happens,
00:47:20I will take
00:47:21full responsibility.
00:47:23Jolene 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.
00:47:34Just as the school
00:47:35day wraps up,
00:47:36rain suddenly begins
00:47:37pouring down
00:47:37in heavy sheets.
00:47:38I had anticipated this,
00:47:40so an umbrella
00:47:41is tucked safely
00:47:42in my bag.
00:47:43Pulling it out,
00:47:43I open it
00:47:44and step out
00:47:45into the downpour.
00:47:47Catherine,
00:47:48wait!
00:47:48Can I share
00:47:49your umbrella
00:47:49with you?
00:47:50No.
00:47:52I turn around
00:47:53and see Jolene
00:47:54huddled 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.
00:48:05Catherine,
00:48:06it'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.
00:48:16I 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
00:48:23to anyone.
00:48:24Jolene is furious.
00:48:26A sleek black car
00:48:27rolls to a slow stop
00:48:28at the gate.
00:48:29It's Austin's.
00:48:34Austin!
00:48:36Jolene?
00:48:37How did you get
00:48:38this soaked?
00:48:38Didn't you bring
00:48:39an umbrella?
00:48:40You'll catch a cold
00:48:41like this.
00:48:41He glances out
00:48:42the window
00:48:43just in time
00:48:44to see me
00:48:44walking past
00:48:45holding my umbrella.
00:48:47Catherine,
00:48:47you had an umbrella.
00:48:48Why didn't you
00:48:49share it with Jolene?
00:48:57Do you really
00:48:58think we're
00:48:59close enough
00:48:59for that?
00:49:01Catherine!
00:49:03Jolene is family.
00:49:04Look at her.
00:49:05She's drenched.
00:49:06You had an umbrella
00:49:07and didn't even
00:49:07think to help her?
00:49:09I don't know.
00:49:11Do you have any idea
00:49:13how cruel that looks?
00:49:13exactly!
00:49:15Jolene soaked
00:49:15because Catherine
00:49:16abandoned her.
00:49:17She went way too far!
00:49:19Before I speak,
00:49:20a nearby student
00:49:21steps in.
00:49:22Please.
00:49:23I saw Jolene
00:49:23give her umbrella
00:49:24to someone else
00:49:24just to look noble
00:49:25and then she tried
00:49:26to free float it
00:49:26off Catherine.
00:49:27Catherine didn't
00:49:28want to share,
00:49:28so what?
00:49:29Stop trying
00:49:30to guilt trip her.
00:49:31So what?
00:49:33The rain was pouring.
00:49:34Sharing wouldn't kill her.
00:49:36Catherine's.
00:49:37Catherine's just
00:49:37being selfish.
00:49:38Paige, please.
00:49:39You don't even know
00:49:40what happened.
00:49:40Jolene gave her umbrella
00:49:41away just to look generous.
00:49:42Austin,
00:49:43that's not what happened.
00:49:45I only wanted to get
00:49:46closer to her.
00:49:48I didn't realize
00:49:49she disliked me so much.
00:49:50keep your little performances
00:49:52away from me.
00:49:53Don't test me.
00:50:06In the classroom,
00:50:07I sit quietly at my desk,
00:50:09flipping through my notes.
00:50:10Catherine,
00:50:11I heard Jolene's
00:50:12really sick today.
00:50:12She didn't come to class.
00:50:14Rain and cold.
00:50:15It's pretty normal
00:50:15to feel under the weather
00:50:16afterward.
00:50:17A loud commotion
00:50:18erupts 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 wouldn't
00:50:25share your stupid umbrella.
00:50:26I calmly shut my notebook
00:50:28and rise to my feet.
00:50:29A chilly,
00:50:31razor-thin smile
00:50:32forms on my lips.
00:50:34She's sick.
00:50:35And that's supposed
00:50:35to be my responsibility?
00:50:37Is this seriously
00:50:38your reaction?
00:50:39Jolene's hospitalized
00:50:40and you're standing here
00:50:41tossing 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 give away
00:50:46her umbrella?
00:50:47Or did I physically
00:50:48send her into the storm?
00:50:49You!
00:50:51And honestly,
00:50:52if she were sick enough
00:50:52to be hospitalized,
00:50:54would she really have
00:50:55the energy to publicize
00:50:56it to the entire school?
00:50:57I asked her personally.
00:50:59Great.
00:51:00Tell me which hospital
00:51:01she's at.
00:51:02I'll arrange for
00:51:03top-tier specialists
00:51:04to check on her.
00:51:06I begin dialing
00:51:07and Paige immediately
00:51:08panics.
00:51:10No!
00:51:10You don't have to do that!
00:51:12Jolene said
00:51:12she only needs rest.
00:51:16How did you figure out
00:51:17she was faking?
00:51:19I've watched her
00:51:20pull the same act
00:51:21more times
00:51:21than I can count.
00:51:23On the weekend,
00:51:25Claudian asks me
00:51:26to go shopping
00:51:27with her.
00:51:28We pause
00:51:29in front of dessert shop,
00:51:31across from
00:51:32a famous brand boutique.
00:51:34Jolene is there too.
00:51:38Oh, look who it is,
00:51:39Catherine!
00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!
00:51:42Shopping too, huh?
00:51:43What's the matter?
00:51:44Didn't expect to see you
00:51:46in a place like this?
00:51:47This isn't some place
00:51:48for 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!
00:52:01I tripped!
00:52:01I didn't mean to!
00:52:03I look down
00:52:04at the stains
00:52:05on my dress.
00:52:06My eyes turning cold.
00:52:11Do you even know
00:52:12how 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
00:52:20and tosses them at me.
00:52:23Use this
00:52:24to get yourself a new one.
00:52:25I look at the ice cream
00:52:26in my hand.
00:52:32and press it
00:52:33onto Jolene's face.
00:52:36Oops!
00:52:37Sorry!
00:52:38My 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.
00:52:46Catherine!
00:52:47What on earth
00:52:48are you doing?
00:52:49Are you crazy?
00:52:51Anne steps out
00:52:51of the fitting room
00:52:52and gasps
00:52:53at 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
00:53:07spilled coffee
00:53:07on Catherine's dress.
00:53:09I've already
00:53:10paid her back
00:53:11but she's acting
00:53:12like it's not enough.
00:53:18Catherine,
00:53:19why are you
00:53:20picking on Jolene again?
00:53:22I'm sorry.
00:53:24Anne pulls a thick
00:53:25wad of cash
00:53:26from her purse.
00:53:28Catherine,
00:53:29don't push this further.
00:53:30If it's money you want,
00:53:32apologize to Jolene.
00:53:33Not nearly enough.
00:53:36Yes,
00:53:37this is our
00:53:38anniversary edition.
00:53:39It retails for
00:53:40$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
00:53:49property damage
00:53:49to the police.
00:53:51Who said
00:53:51we wouldn't compensate?
00:53:52She reluctantly
00:53:53writes a check.
00:53:55Thank you.
00:53:56Take it.
00:53:57This is like
00:53:58burning money.
00:54:00Next time,
00:54:00I won't bother
00:54:01negotiating.
00:54:02I'll go straight
00:54:03to the police.
00:54:04I feel a deep
00:54:05satisfying pleasure.
00:54:06$540,000.
00:54:08That'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.
00:54:13I swallowed
00:54:14every insult.
00:54:15Not anymore.
00:54:16From 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
00:54:24entrance.
00:54:29I've only walked
00:54:30a short distance
00:54:31when a terrified
00:54:31scream cuts
00:54:33through the air.
00:54:35Someone help!
00:54:37Is there a doctor here?
00:54:38I turn towards
00:54:39the commotion
00:54:39and see a well-dressed
00:54:41woman kneeling
00:54:41beside an elderly
00:54:42woman who has collapsed.
00:54:44Wake up!
00:54:45I push through
00:54:45the crowd
00:54:46and kneel down
00:54:47to examine her.
00:54:52Ma'am,
00:54:52don't panic.
00:54:53Does she have
00:54:54a history of
00:54:55heart disease?
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:57She has
00:54:58coronary heart disease.
00:55:01I reach
00:55:02into my bag
00:55:02and pull out
00:55:03a small bottle
00:55:04of nitroglycerin
00:55:05pills.
00:55:06I slide
00:55:07a tablet
00:55:07under her tongue
00:55:08and begin
00:55:09CPR.
00:55:11CPR.
00:55:13CPR.
00:55:17CPR.
00:55:17CPR.
00:55:22After several
00:55:23long minutes,
00:55:24the elderly
00:55:25woman lets
00:55:26out a faint
00:55:26groan.
00:55:28Paramedics arrive
00:55:29and take over.
00:55:32Very professional.
00:55:33You've brought
00:55:34us precious time.
00:55:36Which hospital
00:55:37do you work at?
00:55:38I have to thank
00:55:39you properly.
00:55:41I have to thank you properly.
00:55:44I'm still a student.
00:55:46Helping people
00:55:47is 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
00:55:58watches 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
00:56:05at the school entrance.
00:56:08Catherine!
00:56:11Jolene plunges
00:56:12to hug me,
00:56:12but I smoothly
00:56:13dodge her.
00:56:15Catherine,
00:56:16come home with me.
00:56:17Your grandmother's
00:56:18back and wants
00:56:19to see you.
00:56:23Sorry,
00:56:24but I don't really
00:56:25know you people.
00:56:26We don't have time
00:56:26for your nonsense.
00:56:28You're coming
00:56:28home with us today.
00:56:32Since 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.
00:56:41A sleek black Bentley
00:56:42eases to a stop
00:56:43right beside us.
00:56:45The window lowers
00:56:46smoothly,
00:56:47and Liam's sharply
00:56:48contoured face
00:56:49comes into view.
00:56:52Catherine,
00:56:53get in the car.
00:56:59I've got class
00:57:00in a few minutes.
00:57:01What brings you
00:57:02here so early?
00:57:04They didn't bother
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
00:57:22like they're strangers
00:57:23on the street.
00:57:24Are we seriously
00:57:25letting that girl
00:57:26walk all over us?
00:57:28She might ignore us,
00:57:29but someone else
00:57:30can get through to her.
00:57:31She won't dare
00:57:32skip her grandmother's
00:57:33birthday banquet.
00:57:37She'll show up
00:57:38for that.
00:57:39After my classes
00:57:39wrap up,
00:57:40I head home,
00:57:41ready to relax,
00:57:42until my phone
00:57:43starts buzzing
00:57:43in my pocket.
00:57:48Catherine,
00:57:49I'm sending you
00:57:49an address.
00:57:50Come eat with us.
00:57:51They've got all
00:57:51your favorites,
00:57:52and there's a surprise
00:57:53for you too.
00:57:54I hop into a cab,
00:57:56take the elevator
00:57:57up,
00:57:57and text Jared.
00:58:00Which room
00:58:01are you guys in?
00:58:03The elevator doors
00:58:04slide open,
00:58:05and I walk out,
00:58:07my eyes glued
00:58:07to my phone.
00:58:10Before I can take
00:58:11two steps,
00:58:12a hand suddenly
00:58:13pulls me aside.
00:58:14So this is who
00:58:15you really are?
00:58:16Waiting all this time
00:58:17just to pull this?
00:58:18You followed me here?
00:58:20Declan,
00:58:21of course.
00:58:22What?
00:58:23Touched a nerve?
00:58:24You show up
00:58:25where I hang out
00:58:26hoping I'll notice
00:58:26you again?
00:58:28Catherine,
00:58:29you really haven't
00:58:30changed.
00:58:31Still using the
00:58:31same desperate tricks.
00:58:33Isn't she that
00:58:33Brown family daughter?
00:58:34The one they
00:58:34recently reclaimed?
00:58:35Yep.
00:58:36Looks like she's still
00:58:37running after Declan
00:58:37like always.
00:58:38Declan,
00:58:38drop the ego.
00:58:39I'm here for someone else.
00:58:40You don't even
00:58:40make the top hundred.
00:58:42Stop acting like
00:58:42the world revolves
00:58:43around you.
00:58:45Aha,
00:58:46so I got to you.
00:58:47That's why
00:58:48you're biting back?
00:58:49Do me a favor
00:58:50and stay away.
00:58:51I don't want
00:58:52anyone assuming
00:58:52we have his
00:58:53spirit.
00:58:55I stride toward
00:58:57the highest tier
00:58:57private suite
00:58:58without looking back.
00:59:07Whoa,
00:59:08what happened to you?
00:59:13I'm fine.
00:59:23Catherine,
00:59:24wait till you
00:59:25see this.
00:59:35Hold on.
00:59:36Is that...
00:59:37Yep.
00:59:38The one from
00:59:39the Veritas auction
00:59:40last month.
00:59:41You kept staring at it,
00:59:42so I figured
00:59:43I'd just buy
00:59:43the damn thing
00:59:44for you.
00:59:45Thanks,
00:59:46Gerald.
00:59:47Hey,
00:59:47don't go formal
00:59:48on me.
00:59:49Something like this
00:59:50deserves an owner
00:59:51who actually gets it.
00:59:52is not.
00:59:53It's not.
00:59:56It's not.
01:10:59If I ever need help down the road, I hope you'll remember the understanding we have today.
01:11:04Sounds fair.
01:11:05Just then, a knock comes at the door, and a maid enters.
01:11:08Sir, Mr. Cassius Warren has arrived.
01:11:10His tone turns icy in an instant.
01:11:13The smile that had just been there disappears completely.
01:11:15Tell him to wait for me in the living room.
01:11:17When I enter the living room, a man in a dark grey suit glances my way.
01:11:22He appears to be in his 50s, sharing some resemblance with Liam.
01:11:31Our eyes lock for a moment.
01:11:33I 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.
01:11:47I let out a soft sigh.
01:11:49I deliberately instruct my driver to take several detours just to make sure no one is tailing me before finally
01:11:55heading back to my apartment.
01:12:00No sooner have I settled in than my phone rings.
01:12:03It's Sophia.
01:12:05Hey Catherine, got a minute?
01:12:07There's this socialite gala happening next week.
01:12:10Want to come along and just have some fun?
01:12:12Sounds good.
01:12:13When is it exactly?
01:12:14Do I need to prepare anything special?
01:12:15It's next Saturday evening at Vantage Oasis.
01:12:18Just wear a cocktail dress.
01:12:20I'll come pick you up, and we can go together.
01:12:22Okay, that would work.
01:12:24Thank you so much.
01:12:27I'll go park the car.
01:12:29Sophia goes off to find a parking spot, leaving me to make my way into the building.
01:12:40Just as I step into the lobby, ready to catch the elevator up, I bump on Jaleen.
01:12:54Catherine, what are you doing here?
01:12:57So, you're here for the gala?
01:12:59You have an invitation, I hope?
01:13:01Whose little lapdog are you?
01:13:03Running wild and barking at everyone without a care.
01:13:08Excuse me?
01:13:09Who exactly are you insulting?
01:13:11Listen, Catherine, you can't just waltz into this kind of event wearing a dress.
01:13:16Without a real invite, you'll end up humiliated when security shows you the door.
01:13:22Come on, Catherine.
01:13:23Ready to head up?
01:13:25Let's not keep the others waiting.
01:13:37Don't pay her any mind.
01:13:39The organizers gave me two invitations this year.
01:13:42I smile back, appreciating Sophia's subtle way of handling things.
01:14:00Everyone, meet my friend Catherine Brown.
01:14:03I hope you'll look out for her from now on.
01:14:05This gala really is slipping.
01:14:07Apparently, just anyone can walk in now.
01:14:10Some people really try too hard.
01:14:12As if showing up here will magically upgrade their pleas in society.
01:14:17Watch your mouth.
01:14:18Catherine is a brown.
01:14:19Have some respect.
01:14:21Please don't be harsh.
01:14:22My sister doesn't attend events like this often.
01:14:25She's just here to get some exposure.
01:14:27Don't go snapping photos willy-nilly.
01:14:30If I see you flooding social media with our images just to boost your status,
01:14:34I won't hesitate to sue-
01:14:45If you want to play dirty, I'll give you a front row seat.
01:14:49Your status comes from flaunting fake jewelries?
01:14:53And what would a country girl like you possibly understand about jewelry?
01:14:59That's Maris Core, an iconic design by Davina Gemma from the 60s, centered around a rare cushion-cut diamond framed
01:15:06by a dozen emeralds.
01:15:08The real necklace was sold at last year's Veritas auction for $36 million, bought anonymously.
01:15:15I have to admit, you've got an eye for quality.
01:15:18It is lovely, I'll give you that.
01:15:20But the issue is that yours isn't authentic.
01:15:22Yes, the center stone is about the right size, but it's missing the clarity a genuine one would have.
01:15:27They look like fresh lab-made pieces.
01:15:29You're talking nonsense!
01:15:31My father gave this to me for my birthday!
01:15:33Janice, don't let my sister get to you.
01:15:35She's been out of touch for years, she probably hasn't even seen jewelry of this caliber.
01:15:40It's easy for her to misjudge.
01:15:42I stay calm, shifting my gaze to the other woman's wrist.
01:15:45Your bracelet actually has decent translucency, but it's been chemically treated and filled with resin.
01:15:51Wearing that too long isn't good for your health.
01:15:54Just so you know.
01:15:56The woman snatches her hand back, going pale.
01:16:00I turn to Jolene.
01:16:03Your necklace is no better, Jolene.
01:16:05Those diamonds look fake too.
01:16:09Jolene's fingers shoot toward her ear but stop halfway.
01:16:12The whole hall goes completely still.
01:16:17I take a sip from my glass and feel not a trace of guilt.
01:16:26Fake jewelry?
01:16:27Fine.
01:16:28Wear it quietly and no one will say a word.
01:16:30But you had to step on me to feel taller.
01:16:33So don't blame me for exposing your fake jewelry.
01:16:36Just you wait.
01:16:38I'm calling in a top jewelry expert right now.
01:16:43Be my guest.
01:16:45Relax, Janice.
01:16:47It's a beautiful day.
01:16:48There's no need to let some petty nonsense spoil it.
01:16:51Petty?
01:16:51This isn't just about me wearing a fake.
01:16:55She's insulting the honor of the whole Lopez family.
01:17:08The craftsmanship is extraordinary, but something is off.
01:17:11The cut and the color don't match the authentic Maris core.
01:17:17Miss Lopez, I'm afraid this necklace is indeed a replica.
01:17:22What?
01:17:23That can't be!
01:17:25The craftsmanship is exceptionally convincing, almost flawless.
01:17:28But as Miss Brown pointed out, the cutting style and the emerald shade reveal subtle differences.
01:17:33Impressive eye, Miss Brown.
01:17:35Only the most skilled experts can detect such subtle distinctions.
01:17:38May I ask who has been your teacher?
01:17:41My mentor is Langston Moore.
01:17:45So you are the esteemed protege of Mr. Moore.
01:17:48An honor to meet you at last.
01:17:50Your championship at the last international competition was truly well-deserved.
01:17:54No wonder she spotted the fake so easily.
01:17:56She's Langston Moore's student.
01:18:01That's the world's top jewelry appraiser.
01:18:03The Lopez family really embarrassed themselves today.
01:18:06I can't stay here.
01:18:07I can't let them see me like this.
01:18:19Catherine, when did you pick all this up?
01:18:21You 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.
01:18:33Catherine, what have you done to Jolaine now?
01:18:35I don't know what you're talking about, Austin.
01:18:36I've been sitting here all night and Jolaine hasn't said a word to me.
01:18:39And I'm not the one who's been sending her all those blue roses.
01:18:43Austin, shouldn't you find out what really happened first?
01:18:46It's Catherine who got wrong today.
01:18:48What about Miss Lopez?
01:18:49How could you upset her and make her cry?
01:18:52You're going to the Lopez residence right now to apologize.
01:18:55Apologize?
01:18:55For what?
01:18:57Telling the truth and exposing Janice's fake jewelry in front of everyone?
01:19:01What nonsense?
01:19:03Miss Lopez wouldn't be caught dead wearing fakes.
01:19:05You're just making up lies to slander her.
01:19:08Mr. Brown, Miss Brown's assessment is absolutely right.
01:19:11This Mari's core necklace is a very well-maked replica, and her appraisal skills surpass even mine.
01:19:16Isn't Austin being way too biased?
01:19:18He's not even listening to the expert.
01:19:20I heard the Browns kicked out their own biological daughter to make room for that adopted girl, Jolaine.
01:19:25How ridiculous.
01:19:26Still, you had no right to humiliate Miss Lopez like that in public.
01:19:30Our families have shared a close bond for generations.
01:19:33Did you ever stop to think about how damaging this could be for the Brown group?
01:19:37But what about when Janice openly mocked me for being from the countryside?
01:19:40When they all schemed together to humiliate me in front of everyone?
01:19:43Did anyone ever care how that felt?
01:19:44Have any of you truly treated me like family at all?
01:19:47If not, then I, Catherine, 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.
01:19:55I'll be taking my leave now.
01:19:59The days passed quietly, with nothing but my regular school routine and lab work.
01:20:04Jolaine 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?
01:20:21Why are you answering Aunt Justina's phone? What happened to her?
01:20:24Watch your tone with me, you ungrateful brat!
01:20:26I haven't even dealt with the mess you made!
01:20:28Thanks to you offending Miss Lopez, the Lopez group has just terminated all their cooperation with us.
01:20:33You will find time to go to the Lopez residence and apologize to Miss Lopez immediately!
01:20:37Keep dreaming.
01:20:39You ungrateful little wolf.
01:20:40If you refuse to listen to me, are you planning to ignore your aunt's life and death situation too?
01:20:47What happened to Aunt Justina?
01:20:48Brain tumor.
01:20:50It's pressing directly on the nerves.
01:20:52Surgery is extremely risky.
01:20:54I'm on my way.
01:20:59Out of my way.
01:21:01Sign this!
01:21:02Sign the share transfer agreement, and I'll let you inside to see her.
01:21:07How dare they use Justina's life as a bargaining chip!
01:21:10They have no bottom line.
01:21:12You crazy girl.
01:21:13If you dare lay a hand on me, you'll be condemned for your unfailed behavior.
01:21:17Heaven will strike you down!
01:21:18Then move.
01:21:20Before I actually decide to follow through.
01:21:23Lawrence?
01:21:24Austin?
01:21:26Is that Catherine out there?
01:21:28Let her in.
01:21:38My poor little Catherine.
01:21:40They must have given her a hard time again.
01:21:46It's just the same old health problems.
01:21:48Nothing to worry about.
01:21:50But were they bothering you out there just now?
01:21:53Don't worry about me.
01:21:54I'm perfectly fine.
01:21:55How are you feeling right now, really?
01:21:57Be honest with me.
01:21:58Justina, don't push yourself too hard.
01:22:00The 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.
01:22:06Jolene practically bent over back to get him to agree to take the case.
01:22:09Show me her complete medical records and all the scan images right now.
01:22:12Justina 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?
01:22:17Here's the deal.
01:22:18Sign over the Brown Group shares to the family,
01:22:20and Jolene will convince Dr. Huxley to perform the surgery immediately.
01:22:23We're also willing to overlook the whole Ms. Lopez incident and not hold it against you.
01:22:26After all, we're still family, aren't we?
01:22:28Lawrence!
01:22:28Austin!
01:22:29How can you stoop so low as to use my sickness as a weapon against Catherine?
01:22:32This is absolutely shameless!
01:22:33I won't stand for this!
01:22:34Stop it right now!
01:22:35Aunt Justina, please don't be angry.
01:22:38Dad's just worried about all those Brown Group shares Catherine holds.
01:22:41If she's not careful, she could be taken advantage of,
01:22:44which 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.
01:22:50Ah, Cathy, my condition is severe, and it probably will get better.
01:22:57Even if you sign, the surgery might not work.
01:23:01I come to accept that.
01:23:03You should leave while you still can.
01:23:05Aunt Justina, I'll be the one to perform your surgery.
01:23:09What could you possibly have to back that up,
01:23:11with those so-called skills you picked up from nowhere?
01:23:13Catherine, 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,
01:23:18can you really bear the consequences?
01:23:19Can you live with that guilt?
01:23:20Then we'll just have to wait and see.
01:23:22And don't you ever dare use Aunt Justina as a pawn against me again.
01:23:26The next time you try, I won't hesitate to prove exactly what I am capable of.
01:23:31And you won't like the outcome.
01:23:32I'm not giving up on you.
01:23:35Aunt Justina, trust me.
01:23:37Leave everything to me.
01:23:39I promise I'll make you better.
01:23:41Catherine, I trust you.
01:23:44Completely.
01:23:45Fine!
01:23:45Have it your way, Catherine.
01:23:47Let's see how you handle this.
01:23:48Without Dr. Huxley, I don't think Justina has much time left.
01:23:52When this fails, and it will,
01:23:54you better not come crawling back to us-to-us on your knees begging for help!
01:24:08It's Zafira.
01:24:09Arrange for the highest-grade operating theater at Central Hospital immediately,
01:24:12with a full leading neurosurgery team on standby.
01:24:14I'll send over the full equipment list and surgical plan shortly.
01:24:17Understood, Dr. Zafira.
01:24:18We'll handle all the arrangements immediately.
01:24:20Everything will be ready before your scheduled surgery time.
01:24:27An internationally renowned surgeon, Dr. Zyphaia?
01:24:31That's the legendary neurosurgeon that even royal families can't book?
01:24:34No!
01:24:35No way!
01:24:35That's impossible!
01:24:36Catherine?
01:24:37That good-for-nothing girl who grew up in the countryside?
01:24:40How could she possibly have connections to someone of Dr. Zyphaia's caliber?
01:24:42It must be a coincidence!
01:24:44No, it can't be.
01:24:45She's just a worthless country girl.
01:24:47How could she know Dr. Zyphaia?
01:24:50Dad, Austin, don't jump to conclusions.
01:24:52It has to be a coincidence.
01:24:53There's no way Catherine has anything to do with this.
01:24:56She probably doesn't even know who Dr. Zyphaia is.
01:25:00Justina, I won't let anything happen to you.
01:25:02This surgery will be a success.
01:25:06Aunt Justina, it's me.
01:25:08I'll be the operatic surgeon for your procedure today.
01:25:11Don't be afraid.
01:25:12Just close your eyes and rest.
01:25:13When you wake up, this ailment will be gone completely.
01:25:17The patient is under general anesthesia.
01:25:19Vitals are stable.
01:25:20Let's begin the operation.
01:25:29My God, that surgical approach angle.
01:25:31It's so bold and intricate,
01:25:33yet it completely avoids all the critical functional areas of the brain.
01:25:36I've never seen anything like it.
01:25:37Look at that section technique.
01:25:38It's so steady.
01:25:39It's terrifying.
01:25:40Not a single tremor.
01:25:41Even when working so close to the nerve buns.
01:25:43This is beyond masterful.
01:25:46The patient's vital assigns remain stable throughout the procedure.
01:25:49The operation is a complete success.
01:25:54Please pay close attention to the patient's post-operative monitoring and care.
01:25:58Call me immediately if there are any changes in her condition.
01:26:01Absolutely, Dr. Zyphaia.
01:26:02We will strictly follow your post-operative care plan.
01:26:04It was the greatest honor of our careers to assist you in this surgery today.
01:26:29Dr. Zyphaia's surgical skills are absolutely extraordinary.
01:26:32God-like even.
01:26:33I have to say, your Brown family is truly full of hidden talents.
01:26:36It's almost impossible to book Dr. Zyphaia for a surgery anywhere in the world,
01:26:40yet you managed to get her to come here personally.
01:26:42I'm genuinely curious.
01:26:43How did you manage to connect with her?
01:26:45How is this possible?
01:26:46How could that country girl have anything to do with Dr. Zyphaia?
01:26:48This can't be happening.
01:26:49We threatened her.
01:26:50We accused her.
01:26:50We tried to force her to sign away her shares.
01:26:52And she just saved Aunt Justina's life?
01:26:54Dr. Watts, thank you for your hard work today.
01:26:56It was our honor to work with you, Dr. Zyphaia.
01:26:58You have my word.
01:26:59We will monitor Ms. Brown's condition 24-7
01:27:02and strictly follow your post-operasive care instructions.
01:27:05Could it be?
01:27:07Is Catherine actually Dr. Zyphaia herself?
01:27:10What kind of ridiculous nonsense are you spouting?
01:27:13That ungrateful fool knows nothing.
01:27:15She's just a worthless waste of space.
01:27:17There's no way she could be the world-famous Dr. Zyphaia.
01:27:20Are you done running your mouth?
01:27:21If you're finished, step aside.
01:27:23I don't have time to waste on the likes of you.
01:27:24You, you ungrateful, rebellious girl.
01:27:27You think knowing that Dr. Zyphaia makes you something special?
01:27:30You probably spent all your money to beg her to come here.
01:27:32It's not like you have any real skill.
01:27:34I am Dr. Zyphaia.
01:27:37Aunt Justina's surgery was performed by my own hands
01:27:40from start to finish.
01:27:44No.
01:27:45Impossible!
01:27:46How could you possibly be Dr. Zyphaia?
01:27:47You're just a worthless, uneducated girl from the countryside.
01:27:49You're nothing!
01:27:50You're lying!
01:27:51Worthless.
01:27:51I'm the one who saved Aunt Justina's life.
01:27:53What have you done besides using her sickness as a weapon to try and steal from me?
01:27:57Catherine, why...
01:27:58Why didn't you tell us sooner?
01:28:00If you had told us who you were earlier, we wouldn't have...
01:28:02We wouldn't have treated you like that.
01:28:04We wouldn't have made so many mistakes.
01:28:07Wouldn't have what?
01:28:08Wouldn't have treated me like an outsider?
01:28:10Wouldn't have helped Jolaine bully me time and time again?
01:28:13Wouldn't have used my only family member's life to threaten me?
01:28:16Austin, do you even believe a single word you just said?
01:28:19Catherine doesn't need your fake, last-minute regrets.
01:28:21From this day forward, I will be the one to take care of her.
01:28:24You will never get the chance to hurt her again.
01:28:26Mr. Warren, this is just a private family matter of the Brown family.
01:28:30There's no need for you to get involved.
01:28:31Family matter?
01:28:32When you kicked her out of the house and left her homeless, did you ever think of her as family?
01:28:36You even used her aunt's life as a threat against her.
