00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.
00:00:04Today, my family pushed me into hell.
00:00:07The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.
00:00:09The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.
00:00:15Jolene!
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.
00:00:38Roofless.
00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.
00:00:50But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.
00:01:00Poor girl.
00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:01:04No need to hurry.
00:01:05One at a time, boys.
00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.
00:01:10No one!
00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.
00:01:15A dozen figures dressed in black storming silence.
00:01:19If you want to live,
00:01:23stop right now.
00:01:24I recognize the man.
00:01:26He is Liam Warren.
00:01:27The most powerful man in Artwell.
00:01:29Who commands a massive empire.
00:01:31Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.
00:01:35Mr. 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.
00:02:07How much did Jolene pay you?
00:02:10Five million.
00:02:11She wanted you ruined.
00:02:16Thank you for saving me.
00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.
00:02:24I can cure it.
00:02:26Do you trust me?
00:02:29I trust you.
00:02:30I draw a small blade,
00:02:31make a precise cut on his finger,
00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.
00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,
00:02:36you're gonna 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.
00:02:46When 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,
00:02:54grab a handful of Jolene's hair,
00:02:56across the face.
00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?
00:03:00Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?
00:03:03You better apologize right now.
00:03:06Catherine,
00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?
00:03:10Maybe we never should have taken you in.
00:03:13Me causing trouble?
00:03:15Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?
00:03:19She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.
00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.
00:03:24Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:03:26The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.
00:03:31No!
00:03:32It must be fake!
00:03:33Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
00:03:37Or maybe call the police?
00:03:38No!
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!
00:03:47It's either her or me.
00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.
00:03:53In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.
00:03:56So why should I hold on to them?
00:03:58Just as I step outside, a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.
00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?
00:04:07Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.
00:04:09I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.
00:04:16The 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.
00:04:35From 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.
00:04:47Besides 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.
00:05:09A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.
00:05:12Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.
00:05:15Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.
00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.
00:05:20This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.
00:05:24Ironic, 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.
00:05:39Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.
00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
00:05:43Who picked you up?
00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.
00:05:47Just return home.
00:05:49If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.
00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?
00:05:59Catherine, 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.
00:06:15That 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 Jeral Douglas, my loyal admirer.
00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?
00:06:44I can't believe it.
00:06:45I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.
00:06:48Good.
00:06:49Oh, 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.
00:06:58Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.
00:07:05The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.
00:07:15Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.
00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.
00:07:25I'll bring out the new styles for you.
00:07:30Catherine, what brings you here?
00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.
00:07:34Jolene, is this your sister?
00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?
00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.
00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.
00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.
00:07:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?
00:07:55Watch out.
00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.
00:08:01I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.
00:08:04What?
00:08:04I saw those first.
00:08:06Saw them first, but can't afford them?
00:08:09Maybe?
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.
00:08:18I watch Jolene tremble with rage,
00:08:21unable to get a word out,
00:08:22and a fierce satisfaction courses through you.
00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family,
00:08:28this is just a small payback.
00:08:29The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.
00:08:33I enter the hall on Liam's arm.
00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown,
00:08:37my makeup refined but understated.
00:08:39Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.
00:08:43I am Liam Warren's date.
00:08:46The 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.
00:09:01Is 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,
00:09:11hanging on Austin's arm,
00:09:13playing the part of a cherished woman.
00:09:15But the moment she sees me,
00:09:17her face drains of color.
00:09:18Austin freezes too.
00:09:19He stares at me,
00:09:21unable to believe his eyes.
00:09:26Catherine,
00:09:27what are you doing here?
00:09:28And with Mr. Warren?
00:09:30Where 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,
00:09:46did you remember you were my brother then?
00:09:49Catherine
00:09:53is with me.
00:09:54His words are dripping with authority.
00:09:59Jolene approaches,
00:10:00her expression dark.
00:10:02Catherine,
00:10:03when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
00:10:05You never mentioned anything.
00:10:07And
00:10:07didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?
00:10:11I look coldly at Jolene's face,
00:10:13trying to imply I'm a two-timer.
00:10:16Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.
00:10:18who Liam is,
00:10:20what 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,
00:10:31her 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?
00:10:41Mr. Fulton,
00:10:43wherever 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.
00:11:09Excuse me.
00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.
00:11:19Did you catch that?
00:11:21Liam said it himself.
00:11:22She's with him.
00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?
00:11:28Wait, Catherine?
00:11:31Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth
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,
00:11:50but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.
00:11:54The auction begins.
00:11:56One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.
00:12:00Beautiful work of art.
00:12:01A piece of history.
00:12:03A 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.
00:12:34Same as always.
00:12:36Whatever Jolene wants,
00:12:38Austin gives her.
00:12:43Once I was jealous.
00:12:45Now,
00:12:46I just find it ridiculous.
00:12:50Going once.
00:12:51Going twice.
00:12:52Just 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.
00:13:02Congratulations, Mr. Warren.
00:13:04Liam walks up to the stage and claims the necklace.
00:13:13Then,
00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,
00:13:16he returns to me and fastens the necklace around my neck.
00:13:24It looks good on you.
00:13:26Thank 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.
00:13:46After 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 and you've already hooked onto Liam.
00:13:56Nothing as impressive as your lifelong mastery of acting sweet and pitiful.
00:14:00Why do you always target me?
00:14:02Cut it out.
00:14:02There'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,
00:14:13isn'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 onto Jolene's dress.
00:14:34There.
00:14:35That's something I actually did.
00:14:36and I only take responsibility for my own actions.
00:14:40Jolene is stunned.
00:14:42Declan freezes.
00:14:44Seems I arrived just after all the excitement ended.
00:14:48Quite the lesson in the Brown family's manners today.
00:14:51Mr. Warren,
00:14:53this is a misunderstanding.
00:14:55Misunderstanding?
00:14:57There are security cameras here.
00:15:00Review them if clarity is needed.
00:15:03Whispers erupt around them.
00:15:10Jolene's face goes from scarlet to ghostly pale.
00:15:14Let's go.
00:15:15The atmosphere here is suffocating.
00:15:18A fierce satisfaction rising in my chest.
00:15:20This time,
00:15:21I don't have to hold back anymore.
00:15:23Back in the Brown family,
00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.
00:15:26And all it got me was them pushing harder every time.
00:15:28Now,
00:15:29no one could step on me again.
00:15:36The following morning,
00:15:37I walk into the living area
00:15:39and notice Liam is already awake.
00:15:53Good morning.
00:15:56Morning.
00:15:57I head to the kitchen to 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 take things easy.
00:16:31Your dark under eyes
00:16:33and shortness of breath
00:16:34suggest your vitality is running low.
00:16:36Winfred's face flushes immediately.
00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.
00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?
00:16:42Miss Brown,
00:16:42I'm not one to judge by appearances.
00:16:44But Liam's condition is severe.
00:16:46Many top experts have been stumped.
00:16:48And you?
00:16:49I'm not bothered.
00:16:51I'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 Dr. Brown
00:16:59give you a prescription.
00:17:02Liam,
00:17:03are you kidding me?
00:17:03This girl is not just some girl.
00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.
00:17:06Right now,
00:17:07she's the one keeping me alive.
00:17:09He then turns to me.
00:17:11Can you really fix me?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:1630 minutes later,
00:17:18I begin the first acupuncture session.
00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,
00:17:22exposing his toned chest.
00:17:26I pull out the silver needles
00:17:28and insert them
00:17:28with speed and precision.
00:17:34When the last needle is 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,
00:17:47Dr. Brown?
00:17:48How are you feeling now?
00:17:54I feel great.
00:17:56Lighter than I have
00:17:57in a long time.
00:17:59Don't let yourself
00:17:59get 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 with his health.
00:18:16I go back to my room
00:18:18and return
00:18:19with a bottle of pills.
00:18:21These are pills
00:18:22for male vitality.
00:18:23One bottle costs
00:18:24$100,000.
00:18:25$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,
00:18:41no 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, come back here
00:18:53right now.
00:18:54What is it?
00:18:55You'll find out
00:18:56when you get here.
00:18:56I realize that
00:18:57for the sake of my own peace,
00:18:59cutting all connections
00:19:00with the Brown family
00:19:01is necessary.
00:19:03The 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.
00:19:20I'm afraid
00:19:21you're being misled.
00:19:22Who I decide to be with
00:19:24is my own business.
00:19:27It doesn't concern
00:19:28your family.
00:19:29You're a Brown!
00:19:32Everything you do
00:19:33stains our family's name!
00:19:37Catherine, seriously,
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
00:19:45doctor-patient relationship.
00:19:47Second,
00:19:48even if there were
00:19:49something 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.
00:19:55You 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
00:20:06right 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
00:20:13all your insults,
00:20:15threats,
00:20:15and 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
00:20:21and the law.
00:20:24I 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
00:20:35end of a threat.
00:20:39I leave the Brown family
00:20:41home and prepare
00:20:41to go back.
00:20:46Suddenly,
00:20:47a voice calls out.
00:20:48Catherine,
00:20:49is that really you?
00:20:49Where 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
00:21:02if 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.
00:21:12If 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 compensate me.
00:21:20You ungrateful brat!
00:21:22Stay out of my way.
00:21:23Otherwise,
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.
00:21:31I'll be going now.
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?
00:21:49No, 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.
00:22:03The 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.
00:22:09But 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.
00:22:21On 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 fall on Jaleen,
00:22:35standing with the Browns
00:22:36and the Fultons.
00:22:38Did you hear we'd be here
00:22:39and decide to show up
00:22:40just 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.
00:22:50Miss 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.
00:23:01How is she getting in there?
00:23:03There must be some mistake.
00:23:06I push open the suite door
00:23:08and Gerard immediately rises
00:23:10from his seat.
00:23:12Catherine,
00:23:12you made it.
00:23:13Gerard tells me
00:23:14his uncle has been diagnosed
00:23:16with a brain tumor.
00:23:17He says the required surgery
00:23:18carries an extremely high risk.
00:23:25start with this medication.
00:23:26Come 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 you'd have a solution.
00:23:37After 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.
00:23:51I'll find something perfect for you.
00:23:53Oh,
00:23:53and you're starting
00:23:54at Aurelis 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!
00:24:02I'm getting a formal degree
00:24:04and taking care
00:24:04of some personal business.
00:24:06Campus life
00:24:07isn't a bad experience
00:24:07after all.
00:24:10The manager hands me
00:24:12an exclusive
00:24:12premium membership card
00:24:14saying all my expenses here
00:24:16will be on the house
00:24:17from now on.
00:24:18I glance over at Gerard
00:24:20and he breaks into a grin.
00:24:22Don't refuse it.
00:24:24This is our business,
00:24:25so just enjoy it.
00:24:29Fine.
00:24:30After being chased away
00:24:31from 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
00:24:51to see who Catherine
00:24:52was meeting.
00:24:53I was worried about her.
00:24:55but she had me pushed away.
00:24:57What?
00:24:59How dare she treat you
00:25:01that way?
00:25:01That ungrateful girl!
00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.
00:25:07I saw it too.
00:25:08The manager was treating Catherine
00:25:10with a lot of respect.
00:25:12Yes.
00:25:13That man had an aura
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
00:25:28and 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.
00:25:38I have burned my bridges
00:25:40with the family for good.
00:25:43She is the Brown family's
00:25:44one and only daughter now.
00:25:47The dinner finally ends
00:25:49and the two families
00:25:50part way
00:25:51at the restaurant entrance.
00:25:53When an unexpected
00:25:54grating voice
00:25:55rings out behind Jolene,
00:25:57she turn around
00:25:58and her smile freezes.
00:26:00It's her.
00:26:01Jolene!
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
00:26:15help us out?
00:26:19I don't have time
00:26:21for this ridiculous farce.
00:26:22Take this
00:26:23and never show
00:26:24your face around me again.
00:26:25Jolene,
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.
00:26:32This wretched woman
00:26:34just won't know her place.
00:26:35I don't know you!
00:26:37My parents already
00:26:38paid you enough
00:26:38to 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.
00:27:09Jolene,
00:27:10is this your sister?
00:27:11Since when
00:27:12does Ararius University
00:27:13let random nobodies
00:27:14walk in?
00:27:15Well,
00:27:15isn't this a lovely coincidence,
00:27:17Jolene?
00:27:18Looks like we're going
00:27:19to be classmates.
00:27:20Classmates?
00:27:20You and me?
00:27:21Don't be ridiculous!
00:27:24The lecture bell
00:27:26chimes sharp and clear
00:27:27and Professor Lambert Carter
00:27:29steps through the door.
00:27:30He's a living legend
00:27:32in the global medical field,
00:27:33the 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
00:27:44falls dead silent,
00:27:46not a single student
00:27:47daring to speak up.
00:27:51Young lady,
00:27:52please 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,
00:28:04and real surgical cases
00:28:06effortlessly.
00:28:09She's incredible!
00:28:10Total beauty and brains!
00:28:12Who even is she?
00:28:14Jolene's face burns
00:28:15with jealousy,
00:28:16her 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.
00:28:27Catherine,
00:28:28just a few days away,
00:28:30and suddenly you're the one
00:28:31catching everyone's attention.
00:28:33Jolene,
00:28:34she's probably pulling stunts
00:28:36she'd never admit out loud.
00:28:37Exactly!
00:28:38Everyone 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.
00:28:59Catherine!
00:29:00You can't just touch people
00:29:02like 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.
00:29:09You're messing with
00:29:11the Brown family's reputation.
00:29:14The Brown family?
00:29:16That's your problem,
00:29:18not mine.
00:29:20Stop pretending.
00:29:21It's pathetic.
00:29:23I turn and walk away.
00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion
00:29:33and find Liam
00:29:34in the living room.
00:29:37You were out?
00:29:39Yeah.
00:29:40I stopped by
00:29:41Aurelius University
00:29:42to check in.
00:29:43Also took a look
00:29:44at 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
00:29:51has leveled out.
00:29:52It won't interfere
00:29:52with your progress.
00:29:53Where's the new place?
00:29:55I offer the building
00:29:56and unit number
00:29:57of Sterling Haven
00:29:57without hesitation.
00:29:59Then I prepare
00:30:00a medicinal shower.
00:30:02The water warmed perfectly,
00:30:04a thin mist
00:30:05curling through the room.
00:30:08It's ready?
00:30:09Liam 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
00:30:18and defined contours.
00:30:22Take the pants off too.
00:30:27What's the matter?
00:30:28Feeling 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
00:30:37moments ago,
00:30:38my eyes flicker briefly.
00:30:40It's not like
00:30:41this is the first time
00:30:42I'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
00:30:52throw you off.
00:30:54The next day,
00:30:56I head to the lab
00:30:56to find Lombert.
00:30:59Perfect timing.
00:31:00I've been wrestling
00:31:01with this data all morning.
00:31:02Come check this out.
00:31:07The two of us
00:31:08slip effortlessly
00:31:09into a heated discussion.
00:31:19Professor Carter,
00:31:20sorry 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,
00:31:24just 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.
00:31:31She never attended
00:31:33a proper university.
00:31:34How could she grasp
00:31:35complex medical research?
00:31:36I'm afraid
00:31:37you're being deceived.
00:31:38Enough!
00:31:39Jolene,
00:31:40I don't know
00:31:41what you're trying to do
00:31:42with 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.
00:31:49Most PhD candidates
00:31:51wouldn't even catch
00:31:52this mistake
00:31:52the 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...
00:32:04I know true talent
00:32:06when I see it.
00:32:07I don't need
00:32:07your 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,
00:32:33I'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
00:32:39next to me,
00:32:40her cheek marked
00:32:42by a dark birthmark.
00:32:44Hi,
00:32:45I'm Claudia Norris.
00:32:51Well, well,
00:32:52what do we have here?
00:32:53One caught attention
00:32:54by pure chance
00:32:55and the other...
00:32:56Well,
00:32:57the problem's pretty obvious.
00:32:58The snickling spread
00:32:59through the classroom
00:33:00in an instant.
00:33:01Every gaze nailed
00:33:02onto the two of us.
00:33:03Oh, come on, everyone.
00:33:05Don't be so harsh.
00:33:07Professor Carter
00:33:08thinks the world
00:33:09of Catherine.
00:33:12So she's really
00:33:13riding Professor Carter's
00:33:14coattails
00:33:15to get into med school?
00:33:16How pathetic.
00:33:18Oh, wow.
00:33:19Catherine,
00:33:19your shoes.
00:33:20They're the exact same
00:33:21as Jolene's.
00:33:23Come on, Catherine.
00:33:24You actually showed up
00:33:25wearing fake shoes?
00:33:27That's bold.
00:33:30Still,
00:33:31it's embarrassing as hell.
00:33:38All eyes
00:33:39in that instant
00:33:40were pinned
00:33:41on my feet.
00:33:43I feel like being judged
00:33:45in a high society party.
00:33:47The murmur
00:33:48in the room
00:33:49quickly grows
00:33:50into a loud buzz.
00:33:51Most of them
00:33:53were convinced
00:33:54the shoes on my feet
00:33:55were fake.
00:33:57Hey, Catherine.
00:33:57If you like those shoes,
00:33:59I don't mind lending 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 know
00:34:11who's rocking the fakes,
00:34:12do we?
00:34:14I slowed my movements
00:34:15deliberately,
00:34:16lifted my foot,
00:34:17and aimed the heel
00:34:18straight at the crowd.
00:34:20Is that real?
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 a unique
00:34:30serial number
00:34:31and the designer's initials.
00:34:33AL engraved
00:34:35on the inside heel.
00:34:35It can't be.
00:34:37But it is.
00:34:41Jolene,
00:34:42why don't you have a look
00:34:43inside your 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!
00:34:56The marks are just
00:34:57worn 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,
00:35:08the serial number
00:35:09doesn't just disappear.
00:35:11Want to check right now?
00:35:12No!
00:35:13That won't be necessary!
00:35:14I must have
00:35:15just made a mistake!
00:35:17You wanted to embarrass me
00:35:18in front of everyone?
00:35:20Jolene,
00:35:21you seem to forget.
00:35:22What I do best
00:35:23is tear apart
00:35:24cheap facades like yours.
00:35:26After school,
00:35:27Jolene storms out of campus,
00:35:29fuming.
00:35:30Austin is there
00:35:31to pick her up.
00:35:36Jolene,
00:35:37what's going on?
00:35:38Did someone mess with you?
00:35:39Austin!
00:35:40Those limited edition
00:35:42shoes you got for me?
00:35:45Catherine showed up
00:35:46wearing the exact same pair
00:35:47and accused mine
00:35:48of being fake.
00:35:50Showtime.
00:35:57Catherine,
00:36:03What gives you
00:36:04the right to 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 think
00:36:16you are?
00:36:17Who do you think
00:36:20Who do you think
00:36:21you are?
00:36:25Lucky for me,
00:36:26Future's Black Gold members
00:36:28get priority verification.
00:36:30The Future Black Card?
00:36:32How the hell
00:36:33does she have that?
00:36:34Austin,
00:36:35let's just get this over with!
00:36:42No, forget it.
00:36:43This isn't worth the 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 nervously,
00:37:13like rats looking at a cat.
00:37:16Mr. Warren.
00:37:17Is everything alright?
00:37:20Mr. Warren,
00:37:21it's nothing serious.
00:37:23Catherine just insisted
00:37:24my shoes weren't real.
00:37:30Do you need any help?
00:37:31No, it's fine.
00:37:32Nothing to worry about.
00:37:34Mr. Warren,
00:37:36this is a private family matter.
00:37:38Family matter?
00:37:39if Catherine's involved.
00:37:42It's my business too.
00:37:47Let's go.
00:37:48Dinner's waiting.
00:37:55Your turn is over.
00:37:57Fake shoes always end up
00:37:59rubbing the heel raw.
00:38:01You might want to change yours.
00:38:11I feel a quiet thrill of satisfaction.
00:38:14You thought you could humiliate me
00:38:15with fake shoes?
00:38:16Look how that backfired.
00:38:19Back in the Brown family,
00:38:21I always had to bite my tongue
00:38:23and step aside.
00:38:25Now,
00:38:26with Liam backing me up,
00:38:28I have nothing to fear.
00:38:40The next afternoon,
00:38:41I wheel a small suitcase
00:38:43to my new home,
00:38:44Sterling Haven.
00:38:46Just as I step out of the car,
00:38:48Catherine?
00:38:48A familiar voice
00:38:50calls out behind me.
00:38:52I 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 at this place?
00:39:01Catherine,
00:39:01why are you hauling
00:39:03a suitcase here?
00:39:04Are you sure you haven't
00:39:05gotten the wrong place?
00:39:06This is Sterling Haven.
00:39:08If you don't want
00:39:09the security guards
00:39:10kicking you out,
00:39:10you better leave.
00:39:12I live here.
00:39:13So yeah,
00:39:14I'm pretty sure
00:39:14I know my own address.
00:39:16Your home?
00:39:17Wait,
00:39:17are you working here?
00:39:19Like on the staff?
00:39:20I can't help but laugh.
00:39:22Jolene,
00:39:23your imagination is wild.
00:39:24So tell me,
00:39:25what about you two?
00:39:27Are you here to apply
00:39:28for janitor
00:39:29or security jobs?
00:39:30Declan and I are here
00:39:31looking 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
00:39:43against the reader.
00:39:47A beep confirms access.
00:39:51Declan 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
00:40:00was shattered.
00:40:03There's a race
00:40:04tomorrow evening.
00:40:05The prize is huge.
00:40:07Feeling the itch?
00:40:08Who's racing?
00:40:10The same arrogant group
00:40:12of wealthy young men.
00:40:14They've been throwing
00:40:15challenges at Evora.
00:40:17Oh,
00:40:18and the Brown family
00:40:19will be there too.
00:40:21What's the prize?
00:40:23A million dollars
00:40:24plus a limited edition
00:40:26sports car.
00:40:27Send me the details.
00:40:30Since they're throwing
00:40:31themselves at me,
00:40:32I 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.
00:40:57the one they both dread
00:40:59and go mad over.
00:41:05Oh,
00:41:05it's Evora!
00:41:06Our idol
00:41:07Evora has arrived!
00:41:11Evora?
00:41:12It's probably
00:41:13just someone pretending.
00:41:18She wouldn't show up
00:41:19for a small race
00:41:20like this.
00:41:28Just then,
00:41:30that flashy blue GT-R
00:41:31pulled up
00:41:32right in front of me.
00:41:36Catherine?
00:41:37What are you doing here?
00:41:40This isn't a playground
00:41:41for careless drivers.
00:41:44If trash like you
00:41:46is allowed here,
00:41:47why shouldn't I be?
00:41:52explain yourself.
00:41:57As if I'm going to.
00:42:01As expected,
00:42:02he got angry
00:42:03out of embarrassment,
00:42:04resorting to such
00:42:05underhanded,
00:42:06pathetic tactics.
00:42:07But he can't touch me.
00:42:10Laying hands on someone
00:42:11in public?
00:42:12That's a bad look.
00:42:13Let go!
00:42:14Don't you know
00:42:14who I am?
00:42:19Whoever you are,
00:42:20if you touch
00:42:20Catherine again,
00:42:22you'll regret it.
00:42:26We'll settle this
00:42:27on the race course.
00:42:29Hopefully,
00:42:30you don't crash out
00:42:30in 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 GT-R
00:42:39shoots forward.
00:42:40At the first corner,
00:42:41I execute a drift
00:42:43unlike anything
00:42:43he's ever seen
00:42:44and pull ahead.
00:42:45The next stretch
00:42:46of the track
00:42:47turns into a full-on
00:42:48display of my skill.
00:42:54I flow through
00:42:55every bed
00:42:56as if I designed
00:42:57them myself.
00:42:59It'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 first.
00:43:20Hmm.
00:43:27I push open
00:43:28the door
00:43:29and pull off
00:43:29my helmet,
00:43:30my ponytail
00:43:31swinging in the breeze.
00:43:35My face
00:43:36stays calm,
00:43:37showing no excitement.
00:43:48You...
00:43:48You're really Yvera?
00:43:54Tell me...
00:43:55Who's the idiot now?
00:43:59So you were
00:44:00tricking us
00:44:00this 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
00:44:08bothered to listen.
00:44:11I step around
00:44:12Jackson and walk off
00:44:13without looking back.
00:44:18I never wanted
00:44:19to flaunt
00:44:20being Yvera.
00:44:22But since you
00:44:23kept pushing,
00:44:23now you get to see
00:44:25who the real
00:44:25Catherine Brown
00:44:26really is.
00:44:50He drops the video
00:44:51into the group chat
00:44:52and tags Liam
00:44:53directly.
00:44:58Liam,
00:44:58you have to see this.
00:44:59I swear it'll
00:45:00knock you sideways.
00:45:02Please.
00:45:02Nothing on earth
00:45:03surprises Liam.
00:45:05What nonsense
00:45:06are you stirring up now?
00:45:13Liam opens the video,
00:45:15sees me stepping out
00:45:17of the gray car
00:45:17and a flicker
00:45:19of real shock
00:45:20crosses eyes.
00:45:21It's her.
00:45:26Okay, I'm genuinely
00:45:28blown away.
00:45:29Liam, what kind
00:45:30of divine helper
00:45:31do you have
00:45:31in your life?
00:45:32This woman
00:45:32is pure magic.
00:45:34Told you.
00:45:34I 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?
00:46:01The next day,
00:46:03I walk into the
00:46:04classroom.
00:46:06Catherine,
00:46:07I got you
00:46:07your favorite coffee.
00:46:09I smile
00:46:09and pull out
00:46:10a delicate porcelain
00:46:11bottle from my bag.
00:46:13Apply this ointment
00:46:14to the spot
00:46:15before bed.
00:46:17You should see results
00:46:18in about a month.
00:46:19Thank you so much,
00:46:20Catherine.
00:46:21Do you really
00:46:21think it will work?
00:46:22A mocking laugh
00:46:23cuts through the air.
00:46:25Consistency is the key.
00:46:26I'm confident
00:46:27it'll heal.
00:46:31Seriously?
00:46:32You actually
00:46:33think a homemade
00:46:34cream will magically
00:46:35make you beautiful?
00:46:36My eyes darken
00:46:37as I fix Paige
00:46:38with a piercing stare.
00:46:40Apologize.
00:46:42Why should I apologize?
00:46:44I'm just speaking
00:46:44the truth.
00:46:46Catherine,
00:46:47Paige can be
00:46:48a bit blunt.
00:46:49She didn't mean
00:46:50to be hurtful.
00:46:51Paige was only
00:46:52trying to warn you.
00:46:54The ointments
00:46:54you're handing out
00:46:55aren't officially
00:46:56approved.
00:46:57If Claudian's
00:46:58condition gets 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
00:47:06of proof?
00:47:11Tell me,
00:47:12have you ever
00:47:13actually tested
00:47:14these ointments
00:47:15yourself?
00:47:15Claudian,
00:47:16use your ointment
00:47:17without any worries.
00:47:18If anything happens,
00:47:20I will take
00:47:21full responsibility.
00:47:22Jolene Brown,
00:47:24my medical skills
00:47:25aren't something
00:47:25outers to question.
00:47:31Catherine,
00:47:32I believe in you.
00:47:34Just as the school
00:47:35day wraps up,
00:47:36rain suddenly begins
00:47:36pouring down
00:47:37in heavy sheets.
00:47:38I had anticipated this,
00:47:40so an umbrella
00:47:40is tucked safely
00:47:41in my bag.
00:47:42Pulling it out,
00:47:43I open it and step
00:47:44out into the downpour.
00:47:47Catherine, wait!
00:47:48Can I share
00:47:49your umbrella with you?
00:47:50No.
00:47:52I turn around
00:47:53and see Jolene
00:47:53huddled beneath
00:47:54my umbrella.
00:47:56Without another word,
00:47:58I turn and walk away.
00:47:59Before long,
00:48:01the rain soaks her
00:48:02to the bone.
00:48:04Catherine,
00:48:05it's pouring out here.
00:48:07I just wanted to walk
00:48:09with you for a bit.
00:48:10Jolene is left
00:48:11standing there,
00:48:12stunned.
00:48:15I already said no.
00:48:17My umbrella's
00:48:18too small for two.
00:48:20And honestly,
00:48:21I'm not comfortable
00:48:22being that close
00:48:22to anyone.
00:48:24Jolene is furious.
00:48:25A sleek black car
00:48:27rolls to a slow stop
00:48:28at the gate.
00:48:28It's Austin's.
00:48:33Austin!
00:48:36Jolene?
00:48:37How did you get
00:48:38this soaked?
00:48:38Didn't you bring
00:48:39an umbrella?
00:48:39You'll catch a cold
00:48:40like this.
00:48:41He glances out
00:48:42the window just in time
00:48:43to see me walking past
00:48:45holding my umbrella.
00:48:47Catherine,
00:48:47you had an umbrella.
00:48:48Why didn't you share
00:48:49it with Jolene?
00:48:57Do you really think
00:48:58we're close enough
00:48:59for that?
00:49:01Catherine!
00:49:02Jolene is family.
00:49:04Look at her.
00:49:04She's drenched.
00:49:05You had an umbrella
00:49:06and didn't even
00:49:07think to help her?
00:49:11Do you have any idea
00:49:12how cruel that looks?
00:49:13Exactly!
00:49:14Jolene 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.
00:49:22I saw Jolene
00:49:23give her umbrella
00:49:23to someone else
00:49:24just to look noble
00:49:25and then she tried
00:49:25to free float it off Catherine.
00:49:27Catherine didn't want
00:49:28to share,
00:49:28so what?
00:49:29stop trying
00:49:29to guilt trip her.
00:49:31So what?
00:49:32The rain was pouring!
00:49:34Sharing wouldn't kill her.
00:49:36Catherine's.
00:49:37Catherine's just
00:49:37being selfish.
00:49:38Paige, please.
00:49:39You don't even know
00:49:39what happened.
00:49:40Jolene gave her umbrella
00:49:41away just to look generous.
00:49:42Austin, that's not what happened.
00:49:45I only wanted
00:49:46to get closer to her.
00:49:47I didn't realize
00:49:48she disliked me so much.
00:49:50Keep your little performances
00:49:51away from me.
00:49:52Don't test me.
00:50:06In the classroom,
00:50:07I sit quietly at my desk,
00:50:09flipping through my notes.
00:50:10Catherine,
00:50:11I heard Jolene's
00:50:11really sick today.
00:50:12She didn't come to class.
00:50:13Rain and cold.
00:50:14It's pretty normal
00:50:15to feel under the weather
00:50:16afterward.
00:50:16A loud commotion erupts
00:50:18at the classroom entrance.
00:50:20Feel satisfied now, Catherine?
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.
00:50:33She's sick.
00:50:34And 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
00:50:46give away her umbrella?
00:50:47Or did I physically
00:50:48send her into the storm?
00:50:49You!
00:50:51And honestly,
00:50:51if she were sick enough
00:50:52to be hospitalized,
00:50:53would she really have
00:50:54the energy to publicize
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-clear specialists
00:51:04to check on her.
00:51:06I begin dialing
00:51:07and Paige immediately panics.
00:51:09No!
00:51:10You don't have to do that!
00:51:11Jolene said
00:51:12she only needs rest.
00:51:16How did you figure out
00:51:17she was faking?
00:51:19I've watched her pull
00:51:20the same act
00:51:20more times than I can count.
00:51:23On the weekend,
00:51:25Claudian asks me
00:51:26to go shopping with her.
00:51:28We pause in front
00:51:29of dessert shop,
00:51:31across from a famous
00:51:32brand boutique.
00:51:33Jolene is there too.
00:51:38Oh, look who it is, Catherine!
00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!
00:51:41Shopping too, huh?
00:51:43What's the matter?
00:51:44Didn't expect to see you
00:51:45in a place like this?
00:51:46This isn't some place
00:51:47for just anyone.
00:51:49Bet that ice cream
00:51:50cost you half a day's wages?
00:51:52Jolene steps forward
00:51:53and accidentally
00:51:54splashes her coffee
00:51:55onto my white dress.
00:51:58Oh no, Catherine!
00:51:59I'm so sorry!
00:52:00I tripped!
00:52:01I didn't mean to!
00:52:03I look down
00:52:04at the stains
00:52:04on my dress.
00:52:06My 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
00:52:23to get yourself
00:52:24a new one.
00:52:25I look at the ice cream
00:52:26in my hand
00:52:32and press it
00:52:33onto Jolene's face.
00:52:36Oops!
00:52:37Sorry!
00:52:38My hand just slipped.
00:52:39It's just a little mess.
00:52:41A quick wipe
00:52:42and you'll be fine.
00:52:43Jolene screams.
00:52:45What?
00:52:46Catherine.
00:52:47What on earth
00:52:48are you doing?
00:52:49Are you crazy?
00:52:50Anne steps out
00:52:51of the fitting room
00:52:52and gasps
00:52:53at 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
00:53:06spilled 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?
00:53:23Anne pulls a thick
00:53:25wad of cash
00:53:25from 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
00:53:48property 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.
00:53:59Next time,
00:54:00I won't bother
00:54:01negotiating.
00:54:02I'll go straight
00:54:02to the police.
00:54:03I feel a deep
00:54:04satisfying pleasure.
00:54:06$540,000.
00:54:07That's going to sting
00:54:08for a while.
00:54:10Back in the Brown family,
00:54:11I let you walk
00:54:12all over me.
00:54:13I swallowed every 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 entrance.
00:54:29I've only walked
00:54:30a short distance
00:54:30when a terrified scream
00:54:32cuts through the air.
00:54:34Help!
00:54:35Someone help!
00:54:36Is there a doctor here?
00:54:38I turn towards
00:54:39the commotion
00:54:39and see a well-dressed
00:54:40woman kneeling beside
00:54:42an elderly woman
00:54:43who has collapsed.
00:54:44Wake up!
00:54:45I push through the crowd
00:54:46and kneel down
00:54:46to examine her.
00:54:51Ma'am, don't panic.
00:54:53Does she have a history
00:54:54of heart disease?
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:56She has coronary
00:54:58heart disease.
00:55:00I reach into my bag
00:55:02and pull out
00:55:03a small bottle
00:55:04of nitroglycerin pills.
00:55:06I slide a tablet
00:55:07under her tongue
00:55:08and begin CPR.
00:55:22After several long minutes,
00:55:24the elderly woman
00:55:25lets out a faint groan.
00:55:28paramedics arrive
00:55:29and take over.
00:55:32Very professional.
00:55:33You've brought us
00:55:34precious time.
00:55:36Which hospital
00:55:37do you work at?
00:55:38I have to thank you
00:55:39properly.
00:55:44I'm still a student.
00:55:46Helping people
00:55:46is just something
00:55:47I have to do.
00:55:54I quietly gather
00:55:55my things
00:55:56and slip away
00:55:57while the crowd
00:55:57watches with admiration.
00:55:59The next morning,
00:56:00I intentionally
00:56:01leave home early,
00:56:02but the Browns
00:56:03are already lying
00:56:04in wait
00:56:04at the school entrance.
00:56:07Catherine!
00:56:10Jolene plunges
00:56:11to hug me,
00:56:12but I smoothly
00:56:13dodge her.
00:56:14Catherine,
00:56:15come 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
00:56:24know you people.
00:56:25We don't have time
00:56:26for your nonsense.
00:56:27You're coming home
00:56:28with us today.
00:56:32Since 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.
00:56:40A sleek black Bentley
00:56:42eases to a stop
00:56:43right beside us.
00:56:44The window lowers
00:56:46smoothly,
00:56:46and Liam's 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
00:57:01here 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
00:57:22on the street.
00:57:23Are we seriously
00:57:24letting that girl
00:57:25walk all over us?
00:57:27She might ignore us,
00:57:29but someone else
00:57:30can get through to her.
00:57:31She won't dare
00:57:32skip her grandmother's
00:57:33birthday banquet.
00:57:37She'll show up
00:57:37for that.
00:57:38After my classes
00:57:39wrap up,
00:57:40I head home,
00:57:41ready to relax,
00:57:42until my phone
00:57:43starts buzzing
00:57:43in my pocket.
00:57:48Catherine,
00:57:48I'm sending you
00:57:49an address.
00:57:49Come eat with us.
00:57:50They've got all
00:57:51your favorites.
00:57:52And there's a
00:57:52surprise for you,
00:57:53too.
00:57:54I hop into a cab,
00:57:56take the elevator
00:57:56up,
00:57:57and text Jared.
00:58:00Which room
00:58:01are you guys in?
00:58:03The elevator doors
00:58:04slide open,
00:58:05and I walk out,
00:58:06my eyes glued
00:58:07to my phone.
00:58:10Before I can
00:58:11take two steps,
00:58:12a hand suddenly
00:58:12pulls 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?
00:58:19Declan,
00:58:20of course.
00:58:22What?
00:58:23Touched a nerve?
00:58:24You show up
00:58:25where I hang out
00:58:25hoping I'll notice
00:58:26you again?
00:58:28Catherine,
00:58:29you really haven't
00:58:29changed.
00:58:30Still using the
00:58:31same desperate tricks.
00:58:32Isn't she that
00:58:33Brown family daughter?
00:58:34The one they
00:58:34recently reclaimed?
00:58:35Yep.
00:58:36Looks like she's still
00:58:36running after Declan
00:58:37like always.
00:58:38Declan,
00:58:38drop the ego.
00:58:39I'm here for someone
00:58:39else.
00:58:40You don't even
00:58:40make the top hundred.
00:58:41Stop acting like
00:58:42the world revolves
00:58:43around you.
00:58:45A-ha,
00:58:46so I got to you.
00:58:47That's why
00:58:47you're biting back?
00:58:49Do me a favor
00:58:50and stay away.
00:58:51I don't want
00:58:51anyone assuming
00:58:52we have his
00:58:53food.
00:58:55I stride toward
00:58:56the highest tier
00:58:57private suite
00:58:58without looking back.
00:59:07Whoa,
00:59:08what happened to you?
00:59:12I'm fine.
00:59:22Catherine,
00:59:24wait till you see this.
00:59:35Hold on.
00:59:36Is that-
00:59:37Yep.
00:59:38The one from the
00:59:39Veritas auction
00:59:40last month.
00:59:40You kept staring at it,
00:59:42so I figured I'd just
00:59:43buy the damn thing
00:59:44for you.
00:59:45Thanks, Gerald.
00:59:46Hey,
00:59:47don't go formal
00:59:48on me.
00:59:49Something like this
00:59:50deserves an owner
00:59:51who actually gets it.
01:00:18Catherine,
01:00:20I heard you moved out.
01:00:21Did something happen?
01:00:22Did the Browns
01:00:23push you too far again?
01:00:24I'm fine,
01:00:25Auntie.
01:00:26I left on my own terms.
01:00:27Your grandmother
01:00:28returned.
01:00:30You heard?
01:00:31Her birthday banquet
01:00:33is next week.
01:00:34She actually
01:00:35called me earlier
01:00:36and told me
01:00:36to ask you to come.
01:00:38Auntie,
01:00:39I'm no longer
01:00:40part of the
01:00:40Brown family.
01:00:42Catherine,
01:00:43please.
01:00:43She's getting older.
01:00:45Just give her
01:00:46this one courtesy.
01:00:48All right.
01:00:49I'll show up on time.
01:00:51I exhale slowly,
01:00:52so this is happening.
01:00:53No dodging it now.
01:00:55My eyes move back
01:00:56to the gemstone
01:00:56in its wooden box.
01:00:57It would make a clean,
01:00:59elegant birthday gift.
01:01:01The night of Amelia's
01:01:02birthday banquet
01:01:03has come.
01:01:04The brown estate
01:01:05glows with
01:01:05extravagant decorations.
01:01:10I stroll in
01:01:11wearing simple,
01:01:12casual clothes.
01:01:13Jolene drifts
01:01:14graciously through the guests
01:01:16in a blush-pink
01:01:17couture gown.
01:01:19Low whispers
01:01:20swirl around
01:01:20the gathered guests
01:01:21about how shabby
01:01:22I look.
01:01:23Lawrence's
01:01:24and Anna's
01:01:24expressions
01:01:25grow cold
01:01:26and tense.
01:01:27Isn't that the one
01:01:28who broke ties
01:01:28with the Browns?
01:01:29And she just shows up
01:01:30to Grandma's birthday
01:01:31like that?
01:01:34Wild or not,
01:01:36she's stunning.
01:01:38Those sharp features
01:01:40in that presence
01:01:41can't be ignored.
01:01:42Jolene steps forward,
01:01:43her smile dazzling
01:01:45and perfectly practiced.
01:01:47Grandma,
01:01:48happy birthday!
01:01:48I know how much
01:01:50you adore gemstones,
01:01:51so I asked the auction house
01:01:53to find something
01:01:53really special for you.
01:01:55A rare warm gem.
01:02:01And you, Catherine?
01:02:03What did you bring?
01:02:04I reach into my black bag
01:02:06and pull out
01:02:06a small wooden box.
01:02:09As I open the lid,
01:02:11the room falls
01:02:12deathly silent.
01:02:14Nestled inside
01:02:15is another gemstone.
01:02:19To give Grandma
01:02:20a fake?
01:02:21That's just disrespectful.
01:02:23Catherine?
01:02:24Fake?
01:02:25Catherine,
01:02:26don't you realize
01:02:27how humiliating
01:02:28this is for our family?
01:02:31Amid the crowd's
01:02:32murmurs and accusations,
01:02:34I stay composed.
01:02:41You say mine's a fake?
01:02:43On what proof?
01:02:44Maybe yours
01:02:45is the counterfeit.
01:02:47Isn't it obvious?
01:02:48This gem
01:02:49is incredibly rare.
01:02:51There can't be
01:02:52two exactly the same.
01:02:56Mine's been
01:02:57authenticated
01:02:58by several experts.
01:03:00It's the real deal.
01:03:01A knowing smile
01:03:02curves my lips
01:03:03as I bring my gem up
01:03:05and lightly press it
01:03:06against an Aaliyah's wrist.
01:03:09This is it!
01:03:11They say a genuine
01:03:12warm gem
01:03:13changes color
01:03:13depending on its
01:03:14wearer's vitality.
01:03:15It's a unique,
01:03:16almost magical trait.
01:03:19Why don't we test
01:03:20Jolene's gem
01:03:21the same way?
01:03:23She tried to pin it
01:03:24on Catherine
01:03:25when it was her own
01:03:26gift that was false.
01:03:27That's impossible!
01:03:28I paid ten million
01:03:29for this at the
01:03:30luxurious auction house!
01:03:31I even have the
01:03:32receipt and certificate
01:03:33to prove it!
01:03:34pulling out her phone.
01:03:35She quickly dials
01:03:37the number.
01:03:37What she hears
01:03:38makes her eyes
01:03:39widened in shock.
01:03:40Just then,
01:03:41someone glances
01:03:42at their phone
01:03:42and blurts out
01:03:43The luxurious auction house
01:03:44director got hooked
01:03:45on gambling!
01:03:48Jolene stumbles
01:03:49backward,
01:03:50dropping her phone
01:03:51with a loud clatter.
01:03:52Today is my
01:03:53birthday celebration.
01:03:54Let's put an end
01:03:55to this now.
01:03:56Jolene acted
01:03:57with good intentions
01:03:58but was misled.
01:03:59For the very first time,
01:04:01Anala looks at me
01:04:02without that usual
01:04:03air of disappointment.
01:04:07You know,
01:04:08Catherine,
01:04:09I actually like this.
01:04:14Jolene bites down
01:04:15hard on her lower lip,
01:04:17her nails digging
01:04:18into her palm.
01:04:19Justine approaches me.
01:04:22Catherine,
01:04:24I'm sorry about
01:04:25everything that went
01:04:26down earlier.
01:04:27I'm okay.
01:04:29You only stop
01:04:30feeling hurt
01:04:30when you stop
01:04:31expecting anything
01:04:32from anyone.
01:04:35Not long after,
01:04:36friends call
01:04:37Justina away.
01:04:39A maid makes
01:04:40her way around
01:04:40offering champagne.
01:04:42When she gets to me,
01:04:43I decline.
01:04:45The maid hurries away
01:04:46and comes back
01:04:47moments later,
01:04:48holding a glass of juice.
01:04:50I study the juice
01:04:51for a moment.
01:04:52I lift the glass
01:04:53and drink it down
01:04:54in one steady guilt.
01:04:56A few minutes pass
01:04:57before the same maid
01:04:58shows up again.
01:05:00I'm so, so sorry.
01:05:02I didn't mean
01:05:02for this to happen.
01:05:04She slips
01:05:04and the entire drink
01:05:06splashes across
01:05:07my outfit.
01:05:09Catherine,
01:05:10I'm really sorry.
01:05:11The staff can be
01:05:11a bit careless.
01:05:12Why don't you slip
01:05:13into one of my dresses?
01:05:14I've got tons upstairs.
01:05:15You can use the guest room
01:05:16to change.
01:05:17Wow.
01:05:17The rules in this house
01:05:18are intriguing,
01:05:19to say the least.
01:05:19I hear every bit
01:05:20of the sarcasm.
01:05:22Sophia is practically
01:05:23mocking Jolene,
01:05:24who acts like
01:05:25she owns the place.
01:05:26The maid exhales,
01:05:27relieved beyond measure,
01:05:28and hurries forward.
01:05:30I start after her
01:05:31but pause to throw
01:05:32Jolene one last look.
01:05:34The maid leads me
01:05:35far inside the mansion,
01:05:36to a guest room.
01:05:38As soon as she leaves,
01:05:39the door shuts quietly,
01:05:40and I hear the lock
01:05:42slide into place.
01:05:44I go over to check
01:05:45the window,
01:05:46but it's stuck tight,
01:05:47probably locked
01:05:48from the outside.
01:05:50A strange warmth
01:05:51begins spreading
01:05:52under my skin.
01:05:53I take a steady breath,
01:05:55pull a small ceramic file
01:05:57from my pocket,
01:05:58and swallow an antidote.
01:06:00I had drunk
01:06:01the tampered juice
01:06:02simply because I wanted
01:06:03to see the full extent
01:06:04of Jolene's trap.
01:06:09A few moments later,
01:06:11I hear faint,
01:06:12uneven footsteps
01:06:13outside the door.
01:06:15I lay down on the bed,
01:06:17completely still and quiet.
01:06:19The door creaks open slowly.
01:06:24Getting impatient, huh?
01:06:26Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:06:28I'll take real good care of you.
01:06:31But suddenly,
01:06:32my eyes snap wide open.
01:06:36The scream tears from him.
01:06:38He crumples to the floor
01:06:40in an instant,
01:06:41folding over and wrigling
01:06:43on the carpet.
01:06:45I calmly step over him
01:06:47and shut the door behind me.
01:06:48I ease into the corner
01:06:50just outside,
01:06:51ready to watch.
01:06:52Not long after,
01:06:53Jolene appears,
01:06:54sneaking,
01:06:55cautiously,
01:06:56down the hall.
01:06:59She presses her ear
01:07:00against the door,
01:07:01then pulls it wide open.
01:07:11She barely has time
01:07:13to register it
01:07:13before the man
01:07:14lunges at her.
01:07:18stay away.
01:07:19Get off me.
01:07:20Man,
01:07:21pretty girl.
01:07:22The other one
01:07:23took a heap,
01:07:24but you,
01:07:24you'll do just fine.
01:07:26Don't you dare touch me.
01:07:28I'm a brown.
01:07:29Touch me
01:07:30and you're dead.
01:07:33Oh man,
01:07:34yeah?
01:07:35That just makes it
01:07:36way more interesting.
01:07:38Ah!
01:07:39Ah!
01:07:40Help!
01:07:41Help!
01:07:41Let me go!
01:07:44After closing
01:07:45the door behind me,
01:07:47I calmly make my way
01:07:48back to the banquet hall.
01:07:50Sophia,
01:07:51who had earlier
01:07:51stood by my side,
01:07:53approaches with a warm smile
01:07:54and extends her hand.
01:07:55I'm Sophia Flynn.
01:07:57How about we get
01:07:58better acquainted?
01:07:59Catherine Brown,
01:08:00it's a pleasure to meet you.
01:08:02About 15 minutes later,
01:08:03a sudden disturbance
01:08:04breaks out
01:08:05outside the banquet hall.
01:08:06The crowd moves
01:08:07towards the guest room.
01:08:10As they get closer,
01:08:11heavy breathing
01:08:12and a woman's
01:08:13desperate screams
01:08:14reach their ears.
01:08:19Anne's face
01:08:20drains of color.
01:08:21What are you waiting for?
01:08:22Get that door down now!
01:08:24A few strong servants
01:08:26step up
01:08:26and smash the door open.
01:08:28Inside,
01:08:29the shocking scene
01:08:30unfolds
01:08:31for everyone to see.
01:08:33Jolene,
01:08:34her hair mussy
01:08:35and clothes rumpled,
01:08:36is pinned down
01:08:37by an unfamiliar man.
01:08:39Seeing the crowd
01:08:40at the doorway,
01:08:41she breaks down
01:08:42in tears.
01:08:42Mom!
01:08:43It was Catherine!
01:08:44She tricked me!
01:08:45She planned all of this!
01:08:50Despite the accusations,
01:08:51I don't flinch.
01:08:53Jolene,
01:08:54where are you
01:08:54getting this from?
01:08:55The maid ruined my dress
01:08:56and you sent her
01:08:57to fetch me some clothes.
01:08:58But I waited ages
01:08:59and no one came
01:09:00so I left.
01:09:01When I left,
01:09:02the room was empty.
01:09:04I have no idea
01:09:05how you ended up here.
01:09:06How could you be
01:09:07so heartless?
01:09:09Jolene is your sister!
01:09:11I was with Miss Flynn
01:09:12in the banquet hall
01:09:13the entire time.
01:09:14Many guests
01:09:15can vouch for that.
01:09:16How can you stoop
01:09:18to such tactics?
01:09:20Regarding Jolene,
01:09:22we'll have a chance
01:09:23to question the man
01:09:23soon enough.
01:09:27What happened today
01:09:28was a private family matter.
01:09:30Anyone who breathes
01:09:31a word of it
01:09:31will be making
01:09:32an enemy
01:09:32of the Brown family.
01:09:33Anne grabs
01:09:34her trembling daughter
01:09:35and practically
01:09:36drags Jolene out.
01:09:37The man is also
01:09:39hauled away.
01:09:45What a night.
01:09:46You handled that
01:09:47like a pro.
01:09:51It was simply
01:09:52responding to
01:09:52what she started.
01:09:53If she had stayed
01:09:54in her lane,
01:09:55none of this
01:09:56would have happened.
01:09:57Time after time,
01:09:58Jolene tried
01:09:59to set me up.
01:10:00Did she really think
01:10:01I was still
01:10:01the same Catherine
01:10:02who'd just take it
01:10:03lying down?
01:10:05What happened tonight?
01:10:06She brought it
01:10:07on herself.
01:10:09Morning sunlight
01:10:10pours in through
01:10:10the large window
01:10:11casting soft highlights
01:10:12across his sharp jawline.
01:10:15Mr. Warren.
01:10:16Morning.
01:10:16Let's get started.
01:10:17Without hesitation,
01:10:18he reaches for
01:10:19the buttons of his shirt
01:10:20and pulls it up,
01:10:21exposing his bare chest.
01:10:22I slip into
01:10:23professional mode,
01:10:24pick up my medical kit
01:10:26and move to his side.
01:10:28Need a hand
01:10:29handling the Browns?
01:10:30My hands work
01:10:31with practiced confidence.
01:10:34Not right now.
01:10:35I've got it covered.
01:10:37Once the session
01:10:38wraps up,
01:10:39I'm packing away
01:10:40my tools
01:10:41when Liam slowly
01:10:42pushes off the sofa.
01:10:44He stands steady,
01:10:45clear-headed.
01:10:46You're healing well.
01:10:48You're really skilled
01:10:49at this.
01:10:50Thanks.
01:10:51Keep this up
01:10:52and one more session
01:10:52and you'll be good as new.
01:10:54Once I'm fully better,
01:10:55what do you want
01:10:56in exchange?
01:10:57You've already paid
01:10:58for the treatments,
01:10:58but if I ever need help
01:11:00down the road,
01:11:01I hope you'll remember
01:11:02the understanding
01:11:02we have today.
01:11:04Sounds fair.
01:11:05Just then,
01:11:06a knock comes at the door
01:11:07and a maid enters.
01:11:08Sir,
01:11:08Mr. Cassius Warren
01:11:09has arrived.
01:11:10His tone turns icy
01:11:12in an instant.
01:11:12The smile that had just been there
01:11:13disappears completely.
01:11:15Tell him to wait for me
01:11:16in the living room.
01:11:16When I enter the living room,
01:11:18a man in a dark gray suit
01:11:20glances my way.
01:11:22He appears to be in his 50s,
01:11:24sharing some resemblance
01:11:25with Liam.
01:11:30Our eyes lock for a moment.
01:11:33I simply give a small nod
01:11:34and exit smoothly.
01:11:38The intense,
01:11:39almost threatening look
01:11:40from that middle-aged man
01:11:42has set off warning bells
01:11:43in my mind.
01:11:46I let out a soft sigh.
01:11:48I deliberately instruct
01:11:50my driver
01:11:50to take several detours
01:11:52just to make sure
01:11:52no one is tailing me
01:11:54before finally heading
01:11:55back to my apartment.
01:12:00No sooner have I settled in
01:12:01than my phone rings.
01:12:03It's Sophia.
01:12:05Hey Catherine,
01:12:06got a minute?
01:12:07There's this socialite gala
01:12:08happening next week.
01:12:09Want to come along
01:12:10and just have some fun?
01:12:12Sounds good.
01:12:12When is it exactly?
01:12:14Do I need to prepare
01:12:14anything special?
01:12:15It's next Saturday evening
01:12:17at Vantage Oasis.
01:12:18Just wear a cocktail dress.
01:12:20I'll come pick you up
01:12:21and we can go together.
01:12:22Okay, that would work.
01:12:23Thank you so much.
01:12:27I'll go park the car.
01:12:29Sophia goes off
01:12:30to find a parking spot,
01:12:31leaving me to make my way
01:12:33into the building.
01:12:40Just as I step into the lobby,
01:12:42ready to catch the elevator up,
01:12:44I bump on Jalene.
01:12:54Catherine?
01:12:55What 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
01:13:04at everyone without a care.
01:13:08Excuse me?
01:13:09Who exactly are you insulting?
01:13:11Listen, Catherine,
01:13:12you can't just waltz
01:13:14into this kind of event
01:13:15wearing a dress.
01:13:16Without a real invite,
01:13:18you'll end up humiliated
01:13:19when security shows you the door.
01:13:22Come on, Catherine.
01:13:23Ready to head up?
01:13:24Let's not keep the others waiting.
01:13:37Don't pay her any mind.
01:13:39The organizers gave me
01:13:40two invitations this year.
01:13:42I smile back,
01:13:43appreciating Sophia's subtle way
01:13:45of handling things.
01:14:00Everyone,
01:14:01meet my friend Catherine Brown.
01:14:03I hope you'll look out
01:14:04for her from now on.
01:14:05This gala really is slipping.
01:14:07Apparently just anyone
01:14:08can walk in now.
01:14:09Some people really try too hard,
01:14:12as if showing up here
01:14:13will magically upgrade
01:14:14their pleas in society.
01:14:16Watch your mouth.
01:14:18Catherine is a brown.
01:14:19Have some respect.
01:14:20Please don't be harsh.
01:14:22My sister doesn't attend
01:14:23events like this often.
01:14:25She's just here
01:14:25to get some exposure.
01:14:27Don't go snapping photos
01:14:29willy-nilly.
01:14:30If I see you flooding
01:14:31social media with our images
01:14:32just to boost your status,
01:14:34I won't hesitate to sue.
01:14:45If you want to play dirty,
01:14:46I'll give you a front row seat.
01:14:49Your status comes from
01:14:50flaunting fake jewelries?
01:14:53And what would a country girl
01:14:54like you possibly understand
01:14:56about jewelry?
01:14:58That's Maris Core,
01:15:00an iconic design
01:15:01by Davina Gemma
01:15:02from the 60s,
01:15:03centered around
01:15:03a rare cushion-cut diamond
01:15:05framed by a dozen emeralds.
01:15:08The real necklace
01:15:09was sold at last year's
01:15:10Veritas auction
01:15:11for $36 million,
01:15:12bought anonymously.
01:15:15I have to admit,
01:15:16you've got an eye for quality.
01:15:18It is lovely,
01:15:19I'll give you that,
01:15:20but the issue is
01:15:21that yours isn't authentic.
01:15:22Yes, the center stone
01:15:23is about the right size,
01:15:24but it's missing the clarity
01:15:26a genuine one would have.
01:15:27They look like
01:15:28fresh lab-made pieces.
01:15:29You're talking nonsense!
01:15:31My father gave this to me
01:15:32for my birthday!
01:15:33Janice,
01:15:34don't let my sister get to you.
01:15:35She's been out of touch
01:15:37for years,
01:15:37she probably hasn't even seen
01:15:38jewelry of this caliber.
01:15:40It's easy for her
01:15:41to misjudge.
01:15:41I stay calm,
01:15:42shifting my gaze
01:15:44to the other woman's wrist.
01:15:45Your bracelet
01:15:46actually has
01:15:46decent translucency,
01:15:48but it's been
01:15:49chemically treated
01:15:50and filled with resin.
01:15:51Wearing that too long
01:15:52isn't good for your health.
01:15:54Just so you know.
01:15:55The woman snatches
01:15:56her hand back,
01:15:57going pale.
01:16:00I turn to Jolene.
01:16:02Your necklace
01:16:03is no better,
01:16:04Jolene.
01:16:05Those diamonds
01:16:06look fake too.
01:16:08Jolene's fingers
01:16:09shoot toward her ear,
01:16:10but stop halfway.
01:16:11the whole hall
01:16:12goes completely still.
01:16:15That was savage.
01:16:17You nailed that
01:16:18comeback perfectly.
01:16:22I take a sip
01:16:23from my glass
01:16:23and feel not a trace
01:16:25of guilt.
01:16:26Fake jewelry?
01:16:27Fine.
01:16:28Wear it quietly
01:16:29and no one will say a word.
01:16:30But you had to step on me
01:16:32to feel taller.
01:16:33So don't blame me
01:16:34for exposing
01:16:34your fake jewelry.
01:16:35Just you wait.
01:16:38I'm calling in
01:16:39a top jewelry expert
01:16:41right now.
01:16:43Be my guest.
01:16:45Relax, Janice.
01:16:46It's a beautiful day.
01:16:48There's no need
01:16:48to let some petty
01:16:49nonsense spoil it.
01:16:50Petty?
01:16:51This isn't just about me
01:16:53wearing a fake.
01:16:54She's insulting the honor
01:16:56of the whole Lopez family.
01:17:08The craftsmanship
01:17:09is extraordinary,
01:17:10but something is off.
01:17:11The cut
01:17:12and the color
01:17:13don't match
01:17:13the authentic Mariscor.
01:17:16Miss Lopez,
01:17:18I'm afraid
01:17:19this necklace
01:17:19is indeed a replica.
01:17:22What?
01:17:23That can't be!
01:17:24The craftsmanship
01:17:25is exceptionally convincing,
01:17:27almost flawless.
01:17:28But as Miss Brown
01:17:29pointed out,
01:17:30the cutting style
01:17:30and the emerald shade
01:17:31reveal subtle differences.
01:17:33Impressive eye,
01:17:34Miss Brown.
01:17:35Only the most skilled
01:17:36experts can detect
01:17:37such subtle distinctions.
01:17:38May I ask
01:17:39who has been
01:17:39your teacher?
01:17:41My mentor
01:17:42is Langston Moore.
01:17:45So,
01:17:45you are the esteemed
01:17:46protege of Mr. Moore.
01:17:48An honor
01:17:48to meet you at last.
01:17:50Your championship
01:17:51at the last
01:17:51international competition
01:17:52was truly well-deserved.
01:17:54No wonder
01:17:54she spotted the fake
01:17:55so easily.
01:17:56She's Langston Moore's student.
01:18:00That's the world's
01:18:01top jewelry appraiser.
01:18:03The Lopez family
01:18:04really embarrassed
01:18:04themselves today.
01:18:06I can't stay here.
01:18:07I can't let them
01:18:08see me like this.
01:18:17Catherine,
01:18:19when did you
01:18:19pick all this up?
01:18:21You never said
01:18:22a word about it
01:18:22to any of us.
01:18:25There's a lot
01:18:26you don't know,
01:18:27mostly because
01:18:28you never bothered
01:18:28to ask.
01:18:33Catherine,
01:18:33what have you done
01:18:34to Jolaine now?
01:18:35I don't know
01:18:35what you're talking about,
01:18:36Austin.
01:18:36I've been sitting here
01:18:37all night and Jolaine
01:18:38hasn't said a word to me.
01:18:39And I'm not the one
01:18:39who's been sending her
01:18:40all those blue roses.
01:18:43Austin,
01:18:44shouldn't you find out
01:18:45what really happened first?
01:18:46It's Catherine
01:18:47who got wrong today.
01:18:48What about Miss Lopez?
01:18:49How could you upset her
01:18:50and make her cry?
01:18:51You're going to the Lopez
01:18:52residence right now
01:18:53to apologize.
01:18:55Apologize?
01:18:55For what?
01:18:57Telling the truth
01:18:58and exposing
01:18:58Janice's fake jewelry
01:19:00in front of everyone?
01:19:01What nonsense?
01:19:02Miss Lopez
01:19:03wouldn't be caught
01:19:04dead wearing fakes.
01:19:05You're just making up
01:19:06lies to slander her.
01:19:07Mr. Brown,
01:19:08Miss Brown's assessment
01:19:09is absolutely right.
01:19:10This Mari's core necklace
01:19:12is a very well-maked replica
01:19:13and her appraisal skills
01:19:14surpass even mine.
01:19:16Isn't Austin being
01:19:17way too biased?
01:19:18He's not even listening
01:19:19to the expert.
01:19:20I heard the Browns
01:19:20kicked out their own
01:19:21biological daughter
01:19:22to make room
01:19:23for that adopted girl,
01:19:24Jolaine.
01:19:25How ridiculous.
01:19:26Still,
01:19:27you had no right
01:19:28to humiliate Miss Lopez
01:19:29like that in public.
01:19:30Our families have shared
01:19:31a close bond
01:19:32for generations.
01:19:33Did you ever stop
01:19:34to think about
01:19:34how damaging this could be
01:19:35for the Brown group?
01:19:36But what about
01:19:37when Janice openly mocked me
01:19:38for being from the countryside?
01:19:39when they all schemed together
01:19:41to humiliate me
01:19:41in front of everyone?
01:19:42Did anyone ever care
01:19:43how that felt?
01:19:44Have any of you truly
01:19:45treated me like family at all?
01:19:47If not,
01:19:47then I,
01:19:48Catherine,
01:19:48and the Browns
01:19:49are better off
01:19:49going our separate ways
01:19:50from this day forward.
01:19:52Sorry for the disruption
01:19:53and ruining everyone's good time.
01:19:55I'll be taking my leave now.
01:19:59The days passed quietly
01:20:01with nothing but
01:20:02my regular school routine
01:20:03and lab work.
01:20:04Jolaine had kept
01:20:05an unusually low profile
01:20:06ever since the banquet,
01:20:08not daring to provoke me again.
01:20:14So many missed calls.
01:20:15What's going on?
01:20:20Why are you answering
01:20:21Aunt Justina's phone?
01:20:22What happened to her?
01:20:23Watch your tone with me,
01:20:25you ungrateful brat.
01:20:26I haven't even dealt
01:20:27with the mess you made.
01:20:28Thanks to you offending
01:20:29Miss Lopez,
01:20:30the Lopez group
01:20:30has just terminated
01:20:31all their cooperation with us.
01:20:33You will find time
01:20:34to go to the Lopez residence
01:20:35and apologize
01:20:35to Miss Lopez immediately.
01:20:37Keep dreaming.
01:20:38You ungrateful little wolf.
01:20:40If you refuse to listen to me,
01:20:42are you planning to ignore
01:20:44your aunt's life
01:20:45and death situation too?
01:20:46What happened to Aunt Justina?
01:20:48Brain tumor.
01:20:49It's pressing directly
01:20:51on 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
01:21:03and I'll let you inside
01:21:04to see her.
01:21:06How dare they use Justina's life
01:21:09as a bargaining chip.
01:21:10They have no bottom line.
01:21:11You crazy girl.
01:21:13If you dare lay a hand on me,
01:21:14you'll be condemned
01:21:15for your unfail behavior.
01:21:17Heaven will strike you down.
01:21:18Then move.
01:21:20Before I actually decide
01:21:21to 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
01:21:41a hard time again.
01:21:45It's just the same old
01:21:47health problems.
01:21:48Nothing to worry about.
01:21:49But were they bothering you
01:21:51out there just now?
01:21:52Don't worry about me.
01:21:53I'm perfectly fine.
01:21:55How are you feeling right now,
01:21:56really?
01:21:57Be honest with me.
01:21:58Justina,
01:21:58don't push yourself too hard.
01:22:00The doctors made it clear
01:22:00this condition can't wait
01:22:01any longer.
01:22:02Only Dr. Huxley-Jones
01:22:03can perform this surgery
01:22:04with the highest success rate.
01:22:05Jolene practically
01:22:06bent over back
01:22:07to get him to agree
01:22:07to take the case.
01:22:09Show me her complete
01:22:10medical records
01:22:10and all the scan images
01:22:11right now.
01:22:12Justina has been nothing
01:22:12but kind to you
01:22:13your whole life,
01:22:14hasn't she?
01:22:14Now that she's gravely ill,
01:22:15you won't just sit back
01:22:16and let her die,
01:22:16will you?
01:22:17Here's the deal.
01:22:18Sign over the Brown Group
01:22:19shares to the family
01:22:19and Jolene will convince
01:22:20Dr. Huxley to perform
01:22:21the surgery immediately.
01:22:22We're also willing to
01:22:23overlook the whole
01:22:23Miss Lopez incident
01:22:24and not hold it against you.
01:22:26After all,
01:22:26we're still family,
01:22:27aren't we?
01:22:28Lawrence,
01:22:28Austin,
01:22:29how can you stoop so low
01:22:30as to use my sickness
01:22:30as 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,
01:22:36please don't be angry.
01:22:37Dad's just worried
01:22:38about all those
01:22:39Brown Group shares
01:22:40Catherine holds.
01:22:41If she's not careful,
01:22:42she could be taken advantage of,
01:22:44which would cause
01:22:44huge problems.
01:22:46That's why he wants
01:22:47to take this chance
01:22:48to get the shares
01:22:48back into the family's hands.
01:22:51Catherine,
01:22:52my condition is severe
01:22:54and it probably
01:22:55may get better.
01:22:57even if you sign,
01:22:58the surgery might not work.
01:23:00I come to accept that
01:23:02you should leave
01:23:03while you still can.
01:23:05Aunt Justina,
01:23:07I'll be the one
01:23:07to perform your surgery.
01:23:09What could you possibly
01:23:09have to back that up
01:23:10with those so-called skills
01:23:11you picked up from nowhere?
01:23:13Catherine,
01:23:13don't make a fool of yourself
01:23:14and promise more
01:23:14than you can deliver.
01:23:15If Justina's condition
01:23:16worsens because of your arrogance,
01:23:18can you really bear
01:23:18the consequences?
01:23:19Can you live with that guilt?
01:23:20Then we'll just have
01:23:21to wait and see.
01:23:22And don't you ever dare
01:23:24use Aunt Justina
01:23:25as a pawn against me again.
01:23:26The next time you try,
01:23:27I won't hesitate
01:23:28to prove exactly
01:23:29what I am capable of.
01:23:30And you won't like the outcome.
01:23:32I'm not giving up on you.
01:23:34Aunt Justina,
01:23:36trust me.
01:23:37Leave everything to me.
01:23:38I promise I'll make you better.
01:23:41Catherine,
01:23:42I trust you.
01:23:43Completely.
01:23:44Fine!
01:23:45Have it your way, Catherine.
01:23:47Let's see how you handle this.
01:23:48Without Dr. Huxley,
01:23:50I don't think Justina
01:23:50has much time left.
01:23:51When this fails,
01:23:53and it will,
01:23:53you better not come crawling back
01:23:55to us to us
01:23:56on your knees
01:23:56begging for help.
01:24:07It's Zafira.
01:24:09Arrange for the highest grade
01:24:09operating theater
01:24:10at Central Hospital immediately
01:24:11with a full leading
01:24:12neurosurgery team on standby.
01:24:14I'll send over the full
01:24:15equipment list
01:24:15and surgical plan shortly.
01:24:17Understood, Dr. Zafira.
01:24:18We'll handle all
01:24:19the arrangements immediately.
01:24:20Everything will be ready
01:24:21before your scheduled
01:24:22surgery time.
01:24:26An...
01:24:27internationally renowned
01:24:28surgeon,
01:24:29Dr. Zyphaia?
01:24:30That's the legendary
01:24:31neurosurgeon that even
01:24:32royal families can't book?
01:24:34No!
01:24:34No way!
01:24:35That's impossible!
01:24:36Catherine?
01:24:37That good-for-nothing girl
01:24:38who grew up in the countryside?
01:24:39How could she possibly
01:24:40have connections to someone
01:24:41of Dr. Zyphaia's caliber?
01:24:42It must be a coincidence!
01:24:43No, it can't be.
01:24:45She's just a worthless
01:24:46country girl.
01:24:46How could she know
01:24:47Dr. Zyphaia?
01:24:50Dad, Austin,
01:24:51don't jump to conclusions.
01:24:52It has to be a coincidence.
01:24:53There's no way Catherine
01:24:54has anything to do with this.
01:24:56She probably doesn't even
01:24:56know who Dr. Zyphaia is.
01:25:00Justina, I won't let
01:25:01anything happen to you.
01:25:02This surgery will be
01:25:03a success.
01:25:06Aunt Justina, it's me.
01:25:08I'll be the
01:25:09operating surgeon
01:25:09for your procedure today.
01:25:11Don't be afraid.
01:25:12Just close your eyes
01:25:13and rest.
01:25:13When you wake up,
01:25:14this ailment
01:25:15will be gone completely.
01:25:17The patient is under
01:25:18general anesthesia.
01:25:19Vitals are stable.
01:25:20Let's begin the operation.
01:25:29My God, that surgical
01:25:30approach angle.
01:25:31It's so bold and intricate,
01:25:33yet it completely avoids
01:25:34all the critical functional
01:25:35areas of the brain.
01:25:36I've never seen anything
01:25:36like it.
01:25:37Look at that section technique.
01:25:38It's so steady.
01:25:39It's terrifying.
01:25:39Not a single tremor.
01:25:40Even when working so close
01:25:42to the nerve buns.
01:25:42This is beyond masterful.
01:25:45The patient's vital
01:25:46assigns remain stable
01:25:47throughout the procedure.
01:25:48The operation
01:25:49is a complete success.
01:25:54Please pay close attention
01:25:55to the patient's
01:25:56post-operative monitoring
01:25:57and care.
01:25:57Call me immediately
01:25:58if there are any changes
01:25:59in her condition.
01:26:00Absolutely, Dr. Zipia.
01:26:02We will strictly follow
01:26:02your post-operative care plan.
01:26:04It was the greatest honor
01:26:05of our careers
01:26:06to assist you
01:26:06in this surgery today.
01:26:13Doctor, how did it go?
01:26:15How was my sister?
01:26:16Was the surgery successful?
01:26:17It was an incredible,
01:26:18unprecedented success.
01:26:20The tumor was completely removed
01:26:21with zero damage
01:26:22to the surrounding nerves
01:26:23and functional areas.
01:26:24The patient's vital sign
01:26:25stayed rock-solid
01:26:26the entire time.
01:26:27Honestly, it was nothing
01:26:28less than a medical miracle.
01:26:29Dr. Zipia's surgical skills
01:26:30are absolutely extraordinary.
01:26:32God-like even.
01:26:32I have to say,
01:26:33your Brown family
01:26:34is truly full of hidden talents.
01:26:36It's almost impossible
01:26:37to book Dr. Zipia
01:26:38for a surgery
01:26:39anywhere in the world,
01:26:40yet you managed
01:26:40to get her to come here
01:26:41personally.
01:26:42I'm genuinely curious.
01:26:43How did you manage
01:26:44to connect with her?
01:26:45How is this possible?
01:26:46How could that country girl
01:26:46have anything to do
01:26:47with Dr. Zipira?
01:26:48This can't be happening.
01:26:49We threatened her,
01:26:50we accused her,
01:26:50we tried to force her
01:26:51to sign away her shares,
01:26:52and she just saved
01:26:52Aunt Justina's life?
01:26:53Dr. Watts,
01:26:54thank you for your hard work today.
01:26:56It was our honor
01:26:56to work with you,
01:26:57Dr. Zipira.
01:26:58You have my word,
01:26:59we will monitor
01:27:00Miss Brown's condition
01:27:0024-7
01:27:01and strictly follow
01:27:02your post-operative care
01:27:03instructions.
01:27:05Could it be?
01:27:07Is Catherine actually
01:27:08Dr. Zipira herself?
01:27:10What kind of ridiculous nonsense
01:27:12are you spouting?
01:27:13That ungrateful fool
01:27:14knows nothing.
01:27:14She's just a worthless
01:27:15waste of space.
01:27:17There's no way
01:27:17she could be
01:27:18the world-famous
01:27:19Dr. Zipira.
01:27:20Are you done
01:27:20running your mouth?
01:27:21If you're finished,
01:27:22step aside.
01:27:23I don't have time
01:27:23to waste on the likes of you.
01:27:25You,
01:27:25you ungrateful,
01:27:26rebellious girl.
01:27:27You think knowing
01:27:28that Dr. Zipira
01:27:29makes you something special?
01:27:30You probably spent
01:27:31all your money
01:27:31to beg her to come here.
01:27:32It's not like
01:27:33you have any real skill.
01:27:34I am Dr. Zipira.
01:27:36Aunt Justina's surgery
01:27:37was performed
01:27:38by my own hands
01:27:39from start to finish.
01:27:44No.
01:27:45Impossible!
01:27:45How could you possibly
01:27:46be Dr. Zipira?
01:27:47You're just a worthless,
01:27:48uneducated girl
01:27:48from the countryside.
01:27:49You're nothing!
01:27:50You're lying!
01:27:50worthless!
01:27:51I'm the one who saved
01:27:52Aunt Justina's life.
01:27:53What have you done
01:27:53besides using her sickness
01:27:54as a weapon
01:27:55to try and steal from me?
01:27:57Catherine,
01:27:57why...
01:27:58why didn't you
01:27:59tell us sooner?
01:28:00If you had told us
01:28:01who you were earlier,
01:28:01we wouldn't have...
01:28:02we wouldn't have
01:28:03treated you like that.
01:28:04We wouldn't have
01:28:05made so many mistakes.
01:28:07Wouldn't have what?
01:28:08Wouldn't have treated me
01:28:09like an outsider?
01:28:10Wouldn't have helped
01:28:11Jolaine bully me
01:28:11time and time again?
01:28:13Wouldn't have used
01:28:13my only family member's
01:28:14life to threaten me?
01:28:16Austin,
01:28:16do you even believe
01:28:17a single word
01:28:17you just said?
01:28:19Catherine doesn't need
01:28:20your fake last-minute regrets.
01:28:22From this day forward,
01:28:22I will be the one
01:28:23to take care of her.
01:28:24You will never get
01:28:24the chance to hurt her again.
01:28:26Mr. Warren,
01:28:27this is just a private
01:28:28family matter
01:28:29of the Brown family.
01:28:30There's no need
01:28:30for you to get involved.
01:28:31Family matter?
01:28:32When you kicked her
01:28:33out of the house
01:28:33and left her homeless,
01:28:34did you ever think
01:28:35of her as family?
01:28:35You even used her aunt's
01:28:37life as a threat
01:28:37against her.
01:28:38When she was in danger,
01:28:39where were you?
01:28:40When she was bullied
01:28:41and even kidnapped,
01:28:42did you ever stood up
01:28:42for her even once?
01:28:43Enough, Liam.
01:28:45Talking to these people
01:28:46is just a waste of time.
01:28:47Let's go.
