Short filmTranscript
00:00Seven years of marriage and Scarlett Hayes had just inherited billions.
00:04But while going through the paperwork with her lawyer, she learned the truth.
00:07Her marriage certificate was a lie.
00:09The fortune one she was supposed to share would now be hers alone.
00:13After her lawyer dug into the details, he dropped a bombshell.
00:16Mr. Lancaster's spouse on record is Whitney Owens.
00:18You, Mrs. Hayes, are currently unmarried.
00:21The whole city of New York knew that Scarlett and York Lancaster
00:24had been promised to each other since childhood.
00:26She was York's precious jewel, his everything.
00:28At their wedding, York had given her the fairytale ceremony,
00:32making vows before everyone.
00:33York Lancaster will never betray Scarlett Hayes.
00:36But the truth?
00:37The marriage certificate of York and Whitney was filed the day after their wedding.
00:41Scarlett let out a bitter laugh.
00:42She stared blankly at her phone, hands trembling as a message came in.
00:46Baby, your favorite new Gucci bag just landed.
00:48I'm swinging by the office first, then straight home to you.
00:51Love you.
00:52It was supposed to be the day York returned from his business trip.
00:55Scarlett was waiting for him at the airport.
00:57But as she watched the two of them step out of the terminal, her fists clenched.
01:01There, York tucked his phone into his coat pocket and cupped Whitney Owens' neck.
01:05Kissing her with abandon, Scarlett's face was already streaked with tears.
01:09York could kiss another woman while whispering love to her.
01:11As she watched York, memories flooded her mind.
01:16They had grown up together in middle school.
01:18Scarlett's parents planned to move her abroad, but York begged them to let her stay.
01:22He kneeled in front of her house for seven days, holding onto her hand as he fell unconscious,
01:27pleading.
01:28Scarlett, don't go.
01:29You're mine.
01:30You've always been mine.
01:31I won't survive without you.
01:33Throughout high school and college, York had always been by her side.
01:36Everyone knew Scarlett was York's treasure.
01:39After the scholastic assessment test, the Lancaster family pushed York to apply to a university
01:43abroad, but he stayed in New York with her.
01:45Where Scarlett goes, I go.
01:47The second we're old enough, we're getting married.
01:49At 22 they had their wedding, but Scarlett never imagined that someone who loved her so
01:54deeply would betray her like this.
01:55The marriage certificate was something York had arranged for the lawyer to file the very
01:59next day, claiming he didn't want to tire her out on their wedding night.
02:02They had known each other since birth, inseparable for 27 years.
02:06But in the end, York had secretly married another woman.
02:09He had taken over her entire life, and now Scarlett had made a decision.
02:13She would erase him from her future no matter the cost.
02:16She didn't go home, instead she went straight to the lawyer to begin asset inheritance.
02:20All the Hayes family's assets were now under her name, including the Lancaster shares York
02:25had transferred to her before the marriage.
02:27The lawyer asked again, confirming with her.
02:29Ms. Hayes, are you sure to sell all assets, including the Hayes family business?
02:33Yes.
02:35Sell it all.
02:39In a matter of hours, Scarlett signed several contracts.
02:42Half of the Hayes assets were sold.
02:44The other half was promised to buyers from out of town, who couldn't make it immediately
02:48but were preparing funds to complete the transactions in the next few days.
02:51The lawyer assured her.
02:53We can finish everything in seven days.
02:55York Lancaster, your betrayal and your cruelty will all end in seven days.
02:59Three hours later, Scarlett returned to the home she shared with York.
03:02York's cold gaze fixed on her.
03:04Scarlett, where have you been?
03:05I called you 50 times, waited two hours.
03:08Do you have any idea how worried I was?
03:10She met his stare head on, the image burned fresh in her mind.
03:14York's arm locked around Whitney's waist at the airport, his mouth devouring hers like
03:18she was oxygen and he was drowning.
03:19Once upon a time, those same lips on Scarlett had felt like heaven, now they made her stomach
03:24turn.
03:24He stepped closer.
03:26You know I hate it when you disappear without a word.
03:28Wasn't the last time enough punishment for you.
03:30Before she could react, his hand grabbed her waist tightly.
03:33Scarlett's body stiffened, her lashes trembling as she stood frozen.
03:37The scent of his cologne, once so comforting, now felt like a warning, dangerous, suffocating,
03:42she knew York's possessiveness too well.
03:44At 20 she'd run off with friends for one reckless mountain trip.
03:48Just to breathe.
03:49York went wild, mobilizing helicopters across the city to search for her.
03:52When he finally found her, the first thing he did was lock her in his apartment for an
03:56entire month, taking what he wanted relentlessly.
03:59She begged him to stop, but he didn't listen, it was only when she swore she would never disappear
04:03again, that he finally let go.
04:05After that, Scarlett had been terrified of York.
04:07Now York's long fingers lifted her chin.
04:09Talk.
04:10Scarlett.
04:11Are you trying to make me punish you again?
04:13A hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
04:15If he found out what she was planning, to leave him for good, he would truly snap.
04:19Her voice trembled.
04:20I.
04:20I was at the hospital.
04:22The words hit him like a stone, his eyes darkened instantly, his lips brushed her forehead
04:26as he whispered softly.
04:27Baby, I know you still want my kids, but your body, it can't.
04:31We've tried for years.
04:32Enough?
04:33I just want you.
04:34No more hospitals.
04:35I hate seeing you in pain.
04:3623 rounds of IVF, bruised arms, endless needles, all for nothing.
04:41Moments later York's phone rang, he reached over and rubbed her head gently.
04:45I've gotta head out for a bit.
04:46Stay here, don't make me angry Scarlett.
04:49He was gone before she could answer.
04:51Scarlett let out a hollow, bitter laugh, so he'd only come back to make sure his little
04:55bird was still in the cage.
04:57Half an hour later, Scarlett received a voice message from an unfamiliar number.
05:01York, is Whitney really pregnant?
05:03Yeah, three months, Scarlett can't give me kids, but my family needs an heir, grandfather's
05:08riding my ass.
05:09The voice sounded like one of York's friends.
05:11York, you insisted on marrying Scarlett, that's why your grandfather made you sterilize
05:15her and forbade you two from registering your marriage.
05:18Scarlett's face went deathly pale sterilization.
05:20The pain in her chest intensified, her body aching as memories flooded back.
05:25York had brought her a bowl of special herbal medicine on their wedding night.
05:28Scarlett, this is a fertility recipe from my family.
05:30Drink it, and we'll make a baby tonight.
05:33Back then, she had shyly lain in his arms as he fed her every last drop.
05:37He had never intended for her to have children.
05:39The voice on the recording continued.
05:41Of course I love Scarlett.
05:42How else would I make Whitney pregnant for her?
05:44How else would I fight against my family just to keep her?
05:47My parents died in that crash because of her family.
05:50I've tried to bury it.
05:51I've given Scarlett everything.
05:52Except kids.
05:53Except a real marriage.
05:55Everything else is hers.
05:57And Whitney?
05:58Just your incubator?
06:00Long silence, then York's voice, quiet, honest.
06:03Whitney is calm, peaceful.
06:05When I'm with her, I feel at ease.
06:07That's something Scarlett can never give me.
06:09Scarlett couldn't bear to listen any longer.
06:11She cut off the recording and let the tears fall silently.
06:14So York had never found peace in his heart for her.
06:16She dialed a number, her voice shaky.
06:18Ryan, can you fit in one more surgery tomorrow morning?
06:21What kind?
06:22I'll call the head surgeon.
06:24Abortion.
06:24That night after York had left, Scarlett received a text from him.
06:28Scarlett, I won't be coming back tonight.
06:30I drank too much.
06:31And I'll go to the office in the morning, be back tomorrow night.
06:34But the man who said he would go to the office showed up at the hospital with Whitney Owens.
06:38There, in the gynecology department, Scarlett saw York holding Whitney close, shielding her
06:43in a corner.
06:44That domineering protection.
06:45Just like the way he used to shield her.
06:47York, I'm fine.
06:49There are too many pregnant women here.
06:50Don't worry.
06:51York's voice was low, filled with restraint.
06:53I told you to go to a private hospital, but you insisted not.
06:57This place is not good at all.
06:59Whitney's eyes darkened.
07:01York, I'm just a servant's daughter, not at your or Miss Scarlett's status.
07:04This costs less, and I don't want to waste your money.
07:06York's profile softened with tenderness.
07:09Scarlett always wants the best, the most expensive.
07:11One bag for her costs what you make in 10 years.
07:14She is never understanding like you.
07:16As York spoke, he embraced Whitney and kissed her forehead.
07:19Scarlett, hiding in plain sight, couldn't bear it any longer.
07:21York had transferred all his Lancaster shares to her before their wedding, and then Scarlett
07:26heard York say,
07:27You'll stay with my parents for the pregnancy, and the green diamond I bought at the auction
07:30will be made into your wedding ring.
07:32The green diamond, the one she had once told York about, saying it symbolized, one and only.
07:37She had begged him to get it for her.
07:39The bitter realization churned in her gut as she made her way toward the operating room.
07:43As she changed into her surgical gown, her phone rang, it was York, she answered, her
07:47voice barely masking her exhaustion.
07:49Scarlett, you awake?
07:50Still upset.
07:51His tone was unusually soft.
07:53I've got 99 roses coming your way.
07:55Our wedding anniversary's coming up.
07:57I'll surprise you.
07:58Just wait.
07:59Scarlett hung up, not wanting to hear another word.
08:02Lying on the cold operating table, Scarlett stared up at the sterile ceiling, her heart
08:07as numb as the instruments that would soon end her only hope.
08:10The recovery room door swung open.
08:12Ryan stepped in, face pale, eyes heavy with worry.
08:15Scarlett, listen, if you do this, you may never be able to have a child again.
08:19Ryan, are you sure you want to do this?
08:21Tears blurred Scarlett's vision, but she forced herself to speak.
08:24I've decided, Ryan.
08:26The twins were her gift to York for their seventh wedding anniversary.
08:29A gift he never wanted.
08:30One he had tried to destroy from the start.
08:32Cold instruments entered her body.
08:34The pain twisted like a knife, each twist pulling at her insides, and with it she cut the last
08:39remaining link between her and York.
08:41When she woke up after the procedure, the first message she received was from an unknown
08:45number.
08:45It was a location for a bridal shop.
08:47Despite the pain, Scarlett dragged herself into a car and headed straight there.
08:51When she arrived, York and Whitney were just outside.
08:54York had his arms wrapped around Whitney, his voice filled with helplessness.
08:58Whitney, you're my wife.
08:59I can't give you the big public wedding you deserve, but at least let me see you in white
09:03tonight.
09:05York, it's too much.
09:07The dresses here cost a fortune.
09:09York gently touched her nose, his voice full of tenderness.
09:12Silly girl.
09:12I can't give you my name on paper, but I can make you happy.
09:15Let me do this for you.
09:17Scarlett sat in the car, her chest aching.
09:19Whitney was his wife now.
09:21Then who was she?
09:21Watching York treat Whitney the same way he once treated her.
09:24Holding her.
09:25Kissing her.
09:26Speaking to her with affection.
09:27It felt like a dagger to her heart.
09:29And in that second, any flicker of regret about the abortion died.
09:33York Lancaster didn't deserve to breathe the same air as her children.
09:36She and York had picked out their wedding dress in this very shop.
09:39And now several luxury cars lined up in front.
09:41Out of the car stepped York's friends.
09:43Guys she had known for years.
09:45Scarlett overheard their conversation.
09:47York's throwing Whitney a secret wedding right here tonight.
09:49Full surprise.
09:50Scarlett gonna flip if she finds out.
09:52Scarlett can't have kids, so York lied to her.
09:55Even the marriage certificate was fake.
09:56Scarlett felt her blood run cold.
09:59So all the friends she had grown up with knew about York's betrayal?
10:01The bridal shop was hers.
10:03She had opened it when she was bored in college.
10:05Every wedding dress in the store was designed by her.
10:08Only the manager knew she was the owner.
10:11Once the crowd entered, Scarlett slipped through the back door.
10:14She stood at a shadowy spot on the third floor, where she could watch without being seen.
10:18There on the stage stood York in a white suit.
10:21And Whitney in a snow-white wedding dress.
10:23This dress.
10:24The inspiration came from their first kiss.
10:26When York had pinned her against a blackboard.
10:28His lips tasting of strawberry candy.
10:30She had designed it calling it first love.
10:32Now York and Whitney stood on the stage.
10:35Surrounded by friends she had known all her life.
10:37They clapped and cheered.
10:38York, your bride is beautiful.
10:40York, congratulations.
10:42It's time to exchange rings.
10:43Scarlett watched as York took the ring from the box.
10:46The rings were identical.
10:47To the ones.
10:48They had exchanged at their wedding.
10:50So even the rings were part of this twisted triangle.
10:52Suddenly the lights on stage flickered and went out.
10:54But the lights above where Scarlett stood remained brightly lit.
10:57The moment York saw Scarlett.
10:59His eyes turned red.
11:00He dropped everything.
11:02Abandoned Whitney.
11:03And rushed toward the third floor.
11:04Everyone watched as York trembled.
11:06His face ashen.
11:07He shakily wrapped his arms around Scarlett.
11:10Who looked lifeless.
11:11Her eyes dull.
11:12Scarlett.
11:12Baby, listen.
11:13His voice cracked.
11:14We were just shooting a promo video.
11:16That's all.
11:17I had drops citywide on our anniversary.
11:20It was gonna be my surprise for you.
11:22The ring is designed for you.
11:23Only you.
11:24York's trembling hand immediately placed the ring on Scarlett's ring finger.
11:28But Scarlett could feel it.
11:29The ring wouldn't fit.
11:30It wasn't her size.
11:31Meanwhile, downstairs, Whitney's face was pale.
11:34Tears brimming in her eyes.
11:35York's voice turned icy.
11:37Secretary Owens.
11:38My wife is upset.
11:39You'd better explain.
11:40Right now.
11:41Whitney's voice was meek.
11:42Full of submission.
11:43Ms. Hayes.
11:44This whole wedding setup.
11:45It's just for the commercial.
11:46The ad's scheduled to run everywhere.
11:48Three days from now, on your anniversary.
11:50York's handsome face broke into a smile as he held Scarlett close.
11:53See baby?
11:54It's all for you.
11:55Everything I do is for you.
11:57I love you, Scarlett.
11:58That's never gonna change.
12:0027 years of those same sweet words.
12:02She'd swallowed everyone.
12:03Believed everyone.
12:04And now he stood here.
12:06After betraying her.
12:07After sterilizing her.
12:08After giving another woman their rings.
12:10And had the nerve to say them again.
12:11In front of everyone.
12:13Whitney, clearly stung by York's words.
12:15Couldn't hold herself back.
12:18I wish Mr. Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster a lifetime of happiness.
12:22May you have a baby soon?
12:25The word baby slammed into Scarlett like a blade.
12:27She turned and ran.
12:28Down the stairs.
12:29Out the door.
12:29No looking back.
12:30York's voice cracked as he screamed her name.
12:32Whitney.
12:33He frantically ran after her.
12:35Scarlett stood frozen.
12:36Watching as York chased after Whitney.
12:38A black SUV screamed around the corner.
12:41Brakes screeched too late.
12:42The impact was deafening.
12:43Whitney's body flew.
12:45White dress flaring like wings.
12:47Then slammed onto the asphalt.
12:48Scarlett stepped to the road.
12:50Standing there as York screamed in agony.
12:51Whitney.
12:52No.
12:52York rushed to her.
12:53Cradling her in his arms.
12:55Trembling uncontrollably.
12:57Whitney in her last moments.
12:58Turned her body to protect York from the impact.
13:00Taking the brunt of the car's second hit.
13:02Blood poured out onto the street.
13:04Whitney.
13:04Still coughing up blood.
13:05The baby.
13:07York.
13:08Save our baby.
13:09York's eyes met Scarlett's.
13:10Filled with unbearable pain.
13:12Scarlett.
13:13I told you.
13:13There's nothing between us.
13:15It was just the ad.
13:16Why won't you believe me?
13:17Why did you have to do this?
13:18In that moment.
13:20Scarlett saw hatred in York's eyes.
13:22He could also hear the voices around them.
13:23Mason spoke up.
13:24His tone harsh.
13:26Scarlett.
13:26York really loves you.
13:27He sent Whitney away.
13:28For seven years.
13:30Married her only because his grandpa forced it.
13:33Others timed in.
13:35Scarlett.
13:35You're being too cruel.
13:36Whitney never asked for anything.
13:38She's carried his kid quietly.
13:40How can you take everything from her?
13:41All those friends who once called Scarlett and York the perfect couple.
13:44Destined for each other.
13:46Now stood like self-righteous judges.
13:48Arms crossed.
13:49Eyes hard.
13:50They blamed her for York's seven years of deceit.
13:53Yet somehow it was still her fault.
13:54Whitney had been sent to the hospital.
13:56Scarlett followed close behind.
13:58Whitney had bled heavily.
13:59The baby couldn't be saved.
14:00And her uterus had been removed due to excessive blood loss.
14:04York was devastated.
14:05Whitney.
14:06I'm so sorry.
14:07I shouldn't have mistaken everything you quietly did for me.
14:10Thinking it was Scarlett's doing.
14:12I love the wrong person.
14:13I always thought it was her.
14:15Scarlett was stunned by his words.
14:16So everything Whitney did for York, York thought it was her?
14:19A bitter smile crept onto Scarlett's face.
14:22She had done so much for him too from the moment she was a child.
14:25She had silently been his blood bank.
14:27Since she was five, she knew York had a platelet deficiency
14:29and needed regular blood transfusions.
14:31She was terrified he might die.
14:35She had given him her blood all these years.
14:39And she had always gotten sick while York grew stronger.
14:41Later, in middle school, her parents tried to take her away.
14:44Worried she was giving her life away for York.
14:46York had thought it was because he knelt for seven days that they allowed her to stay.
14:49But in reality, it was Scarlett who had threatened to die.
14:52Now hearing York express his regrets about loving her, Scarlett realized something.
14:56He regretted it too.
14:57Had she known their love would end up like this, she would have never allowed it to start.
15:02Scarlett turned toward the elevator.
15:03But just a few steps away, York collapsed to the floor.
15:06This time, she chose not to save him.
15:08The silence of the night was suffocating.
15:10Scarlett sat alone in the villa.
15:12Yet the chaos on her social media was anything but quiet.
15:15Everyone she knew was reposting a video.
15:17In the video, the bride's face was hidden, but the groom was placing a ring on her finger.
15:21The caption read,
15:21Mr. Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster's seventh wedding anniversary.
15:25Scarlett's lips twisted into a mocking smile.
15:28Seven years, the same seven years York and Whitney had been together.
15:31Her phone rang.
15:32York's grandpa.
15:33She answered it.
15:34Scarlett, York needs blood urgently.
15:36Get to the hospital, now.
15:40Scarlett's eyes flashed with coldness.
15:42Sorry, Mr. Lancaster.
15:43I'm neither York's wife nor his girlfriend.
15:45We're not even related.
15:47I've got zero obligation to save him.
15:49You understand now, huh?
15:50Scarlett sneered.
15:51Thanks to you.
15:52Now I don't even have to divorce him.
15:54If he dies tonight, maybe I'll attend his funeral.
15:57Scarlett.
15:57You're exactly like your grandfather, the person I've hated most in this world.
16:01Charles Lancaster hung up.
16:03For the entire night, Scarlett didn't sleep.
16:05She spent the night alone, going through all the things related to her and York.
16:09Scarlett shattered the wedding photos one by one with a hammer.
16:12The floor was covered in shattered glass.
16:14The clothes York had bought for her.
16:16He packed them all up.
16:17Including jewelry and bags.
16:19In the dead of night, she had everything sent off to a second-hand auction.
16:22The gifts she and York had exchanged over the years.
16:25He packed them up too.
16:27Scarlett stared at the rabbit doll York had bought for her when she cried as a child.
16:30She moved everything to the yard and set it all on fire.
16:33Her phone rang again.
16:34It was an unfamiliar number and the message read.
16:37I never knew he loved me this much.
16:39The kind of love that makes a man give up everything, even his own life.
16:43Scarlett replied with one line.
16:45Whitney, congrats.
16:46You just took out my trash.
16:49Three hours later, Scarlett received a message that York had woken up.
16:53She knew the Lancaster Private Hospital.
16:55Still kept five bags of her blood on standby.
16:5727 years of regular donations, just in case York ever needed it.
17:01Last night he'd been bleeding out.
17:03Those five bags were probably gone.
17:05She looked at the ashes.
17:0627 years of her life.
17:08Reduced to a few hours of cleanup.
17:10Done.
17:10The front door burst open.
17:12Two of York's bodyguards stormed in, no words, just grabbed her arms and dragged her out.
17:17She was forcibly taken to the hospital.
17:19When she pushed open the door to the hospital room, there York was holding Whitney in his arms.
17:24York's eyes were full of rage.
17:25Scarlett, how dare you bribe the doctor to kill Whitney's baby?
17:29How dare you make them rip out her uterus?
17:31Scarlett froze.
17:32She heard the doctor speak.
17:33Mr. Lancaster, Miss Hayes threatened me.
17:36Said if I didn't remove Mrs. Lancaster's uterus, my whole family would be run out of New York.
17:40York let go of Whitney and walked towards Scarlett.
17:43His anger palpable.
17:44For the first time, York grabbed her by the neck.
17:47How could you use money and power to destroy her?
17:49When did you turn into this monster?
17:52As York's words hit her, Scarlett looked at him with tears in her eyes.
17:55But there was no trace of the love he once had for her.
17:58Only anger and disgust.
18:00Scarlett smiled bitterly and said,
18:02York, it's just a uterus, if I want, I'll buy her life.
18:05Without warning, York slapped her across the face, the force knocking her to the ground.
18:09York's voice was cold, almost mechanical.
18:12Get her to the operating room.
18:13Remove her uterus.
18:14Two doctors immediately restrained her.
18:17Scarlett's mind spun.
18:18York, what did you just say?
18:20York's eyes were filled with ice.
18:21You can't owe someone forever, Scarlett.
18:23You took Whitney's baby.
18:25Now you pay it back?
18:26Once you've given her what she lost.
18:28I'll love you again, like before.
18:30At a single glance from York, the doctors took Scarlett away.
18:33One held a syringe of anesthetic and injected it into her arm.
18:36Within seconds, Scarlett's vision blurred.
18:38And she drifted into unconsciousness.
18:41In her fading consciousness, she heard York's voice again, holding Whitney in his arms.
18:45Baby, don't cry.
18:46It kills me when you cry.
18:48Through the fog, she could hear York and the doctor's conversation clearly.
18:52Mr. Lancaster, Miss Hayes already had a uterine scrape recently.
18:55Is removing her uterus really necessary?
18:58York's voice was low with doubt as he asked.
19:01A uterine scrape?
19:02The doctor quickly explained.
19:03A uterine scrape might be necessary if there are conditions like fibroids.
19:07York's voice grew colder.
19:09Remove Scarlett's uterus and show it to Whitney.
19:11She's been crying nonstop.
19:13Do the surgery now.
19:14The doctor hesitated.
19:15Mr. Lancaster, we have to wait at least an hour after the anesthesia wears off.
19:20York's impatience flared.
19:21Scarlett's already unconscious.
19:23Do it immediately.
19:24A single tear rolled down Scarlett's cheek.
19:27Her uterus was taken.
19:28All to stop Whitney from crying.
19:30Scarlett lost a lot of blood.
19:32When she finally woke up two days later, York's cold eyes met hers.
19:36Before she could say anything York spoke.
19:38His voice cold and accusing.
19:40You nearly bled out.
19:41Whitney was the one who gave you blood.
19:43Scarlett, you owe her now.
19:45Do you understand?
19:46Whitney standing by and peeling an orange shyly added.
19:49York, please.
19:50I'm not looking for thanks from Miss Scarlett.
19:53But half my blood is inside her now.
19:54If saving her life means giving every last drop of mine.
19:57I'd do it.
19:58Even if it killed me.
20:00Her words were so sweet, so selfless.
20:02But York responded with an icy tone.
20:04Scarlett, you owe Whitney.
20:06You will pay her back with your identity.
20:08Scarlett's gaze was fixed on York.
20:09But there was no longer light in her eyes.
20:11She silently endured the pain and sat up in bed.
20:14Whitney, who had been quietly watching them, suddenly spoke.
20:18Her voice trembling with emotion.
20:20York, I don't want anything.
20:21I just want you and Scarlett to be happy.
20:23I can leave and never see you again.
20:25With those words, Whitney collapsed.
20:27York immediately let go of Scarlett and rushed to catch Whitney in his arms.
20:31Not everyone's gonna keep indulging you.
20:33Scarlett, Whitney gave you her blood.
20:35You should be on your knees thanking her.
20:36Your grandfather's dead.
20:38You've got no one left in New York.
20:40Scarlett understood in that moment.
20:41Not going abroad with her parents had been a huge mistake.
20:44York quickly left the room, still holding Whitney tightly.
20:47Scarlett, gritting her teeth against the pain, left the hospital.
20:50Her phone buzzed with several messages from her lawyer.
20:53Miss Scarlett, the remaining buyers have arrived in New York and are ready to sign the contracts.
20:57Scarlett went straight to the law firm.
20:59She completed the sale of the last half of the Hayes family assets and the shares York
21:03had given her.
21:04He personally found the buyers for them.
21:07Her next move was to contact York's sworn enemy, Sean Barrett.
21:11He sent him a message.
21:12Prepare 30 billion.
21:13I'll sell you all my Lancaster shares.
21:15Sean's reply was brief.
21:17Done.
21:17She would destroy Lancaster and with it York.
21:20Just as he had destroyed her, she would destroy him, completely.
21:23Scarlett glanced toward the shopping mall across the street, where a large screen was
21:26broadcasting York's public announcement of his marriage to Whitney.
21:29Seven years ago, I married Whitney.
21:31Let me be clear.
21:32My wife, my only wife, has always been Whitney.
21:36Scarlett's clear gaze revealed nothing.
21:38Her phone rang, and it was York's name on the screen.
21:40Scarlett answered, her voice calm.
21:42York's anger-filled voice erupted.
21:44Scarlett, get your ass back to the hospital right now.
21:46Whitney's getting worse.
21:48You're the one who's gonna take care of her.
21:49Scarlett stared at the screen, her voice indifferent.
21:52Didn't you already give her my uterus?
21:54What more do you want?
21:55My hands too.
21:56York's voice grew harsher.
21:58Don't play games.
21:59Whitney lost our baby.
22:00Do you even get what that does to a mother?
22:02Scarlett's heart twisted in pain as memories of the two lost children flashed in her mind.
22:06York, I understand.
22:09York's tone softened.
22:11Since you understand, come take care of Whitney.
22:13If you do, I'll forgive you.
22:15You wanted both women.
22:16Scarlett took a deep breath and spoke, her voice steady.
22:19York, we're done.
22:20They didn't have a real marriage.
22:22Seven years of an illegal marriage, and now it would all end.
22:25She hung up.
22:25Scarlett found a quiet cafe.
22:27She dialed her lawyer.
22:29Scarlett didn't need their gratitude, nor their fake kindness, but those she had
22:32helped stood against her now.
22:34Hurting her instead.
22:35She couldn't bear it.
22:36She would take back everything she had ever given them.
22:38Three things.
22:39First, back Mason Harris's brother for CEO of Harris Group, with all my shares.
22:44Second, leak everything about the Blackwood scandal.
22:46Third, the evidence tying old Mr. Lancaster to his son and daughter-in-law's deaths.
22:51Hand it to the police, today.
22:52The power struggle over the Harris family years ago.
22:55It was Scarlett who had helped Mason secretly.
22:57As for the elder Mr. Lancaster's role in his own son's death, Scarlett's grandfather had known all along.
23:03And the Blackwood family, York's good friend Hugo, had come to her six months ago asking for a loan.
23:08She had lent him money.
23:09Though she had helped stood against her now.
23:11She would take back everything.
23:14The final meeting was with Sean Barrett.
23:16Scarlett, I know you need this done fast, but I can only gather half the money now,
23:21the rest will be in your account within a week.
23:23Sean's voice was dark.
23:24Are you sure about this, Scarlett?
23:26Once I buy those Lancaster shares, York won't climb out of the grave I dig for him.
23:30Without hesitation, Scarlett signed the transfer agreement.
23:34Once the contract was signed, Sean personally took her to the airport.
23:38Scarlett, stay, just a little longer, please.
23:41Scarlett looked at him.
23:42Sean, congratulations, from today on, the top five families in New York will be reduced to just the Barrett family.
23:48She walked toward the boarding gate without looking back.
23:51York would be a part of her past.
23:52A past better left behind.
23:54York stared at his phone had Scarlett really said, done?
23:57They had been together for over 20 years.
23:59York called her again, but the phone didn't connect.
24:02If it weren't for Whitney secretly donating a bag of blood every six months, stored in Lancaster Hospital, he would
24:07have died by now.
24:09What he hadn't known was that all this time, the blood being donated wasn't from adults.
24:13It was from Whitney's fragile body.
24:15She had saved his life for 20 years.
24:18York had always thought it was Scarlett, because every time he received a blood transfusion, Scarlett was always the one
24:23lying on the bed next to him.
24:25It wasn't until half a year ago that he realized the person saving him wasn't Scarlett.
24:29It was Whitney.
24:30At that moment, a nurse ran into the room.
24:32Mr. Lancaster.
24:33Mrs. Lancaster is awake.
24:35The moment York heard Mrs. Lancaster, his first thought was Scarlett, but he quickly realized it was Whitney.
24:40York rushed to the next room where Whitney lay, tears streaming.
24:43I'm sorry, York.
24:45Let's get a divorce.
24:46I'm the one who caused all the problems.
24:47York pulled Whitney into his arms, overwhelmed with guilt.
24:51Whitney, you haven't done anything wrong.
24:53Scarlett's uterus has already been taken.
24:55I gave it to you.
24:56I'll take care of you now.
24:58Two weeks passed with no news from Scarlett.
25:00Meanwhile, the news was full of scandals involving his closest friends.
25:03Mason had been kicked out.
25:05The Blackwood family was being investigated.
25:07Mason arrived at the hospital.
25:09York, where's Scarlett?
25:09I've been looking for her for the past two weeks.
25:12York's brows furrowed.
25:13If she's not at the villa, where else would she be?
25:15Mason's face fell.
25:17York, Scarlett's not at the villa.
25:18Her phone is off.
25:20York refused to believe it.
25:21Scarlett had always been attached to him.
25:23York stepped forward, but before he could move, Whitney burst into tears.
25:27York, let me go with you.
25:29I'll apologize to Scarlett.
25:30York looked at her.
25:31Whitney, wait for me here.
25:33As soon as the door shut, Whitney's face transformed.
25:36A cruel smile curled her lips.
25:38Scarlett, you've finally left.
25:40York arrived at the villa and searched high and low.
25:42Scarlett was nowhere to be found.
25:44One of the servants nervously spoke up.
25:46Mr. Lancaster, Mrs. Lancaster's things are all gone.
25:49There's a barrel in the yard where a lot of things have been burned.
25:52York ran to the room.
25:53Scarlett's things were gone from the closet.
25:55Frantically, he rushed to the large iron barrel.
25:57Amid the ashes, he could still make out the shapes.
25:59Gifts he had given her.
26:01A rabbit doll, clothes.
26:02York crouched in front of the barrel, staring at the ashes.
26:05His heart shattered.
26:06His phone rang.
26:06It was his assistant.
26:08Mr. Lancaster, Scarlett left for Y-Country two weeks ago.
26:11All of the Hayes family assets have been liquidated, including Hayes Tower.
26:15York's phone slipped from his hand she had left.
26:17He rushed to the Hayes family mansion.
26:19It was empty.
26:20The company had been sold.
26:21Mason nervously explained.
26:23York, the 18% of shares supporting me were Scarlett's.
26:26She sold them to my older brother.
26:27The Blackwood family fell.
26:29I was out.
26:29All of them had been helped by Scarlett.
26:33York's face went pale.
26:34His assistant's call came again.
26:36The last person she met was Sean Barrett.
26:38York's jealousy flared.
26:39He dialed the number.
26:41Sean answered with a laugh.
26:42York, aren't you asking a bit too late?
26:44Scarlett sold all her shares to me.
26:46300 billion.
26:47Now you're about to be kicked out of Lancaster Group.
26:49York felt a surge of blood rush to his head.
26:52Sean continued.
26:53Scarlett risked her life for you.
26:54She's nearly died several times giving you blood.
26:57Just those 300 billion don't even come close to what she sacrificed.
27:01Sean sent through images.
27:02York stared at the photos.
27:03Each one of Scarlett when they were younger.
27:05He was unconscious.
27:06Injured.
27:06And she was sitting beside him.
27:08Giving him blood.
27:09He could see the love in her eyes as she smiled at him.
27:11There were more images.
27:12Scarlett leaning over his bed.
27:14The IV line still attached to her arm.
27:16York looked at the records.
27:17They were all signed by Scarlett herself.
27:19The pieces fell into place.
27:21His grandfather had lied.
27:22It was Scarlett.
27:23It had always been Scarlett.
27:25York's body trembled with fury.
27:27He sped back to the Lancaster family mansion.
27:29He headed straight for his grandfather's study.
27:31With a violent kick.
27:33He threw open the door.
27:34But what York saw he never could have imagined.
27:39Whitney Owens.
27:40In a stark white outfit.
27:42Crouched between Charles Lancaster's legs.
27:44York's stomach churned.
27:45His icy gaze locked onto them.
27:47Charles.
27:47What exactly are you and Whitney doing here?
27:49Whitney's face drained of color.
27:51She collapsed to the floor.
27:52York.
27:53Please let me explain.
27:54Charles remained calm.
27:56York.
27:56There's nothing to explain.
27:58Whitney is mine.
27:59York's gaze hardened.
28:00So you used her before I even married her?
28:02Whitney clutched York's leg.
28:03York.
28:04I was forced.
28:04Charles told me.
28:05If I served him.
28:06The Lancaster Empire would be yours.
28:08York kicked her away.
28:09At that moment he had lost all trust in Whitney.
28:12He'd had everything investigated.
28:13Whitney's blood type didn't even match his.
28:16Charles's face darkened.
28:17York.
28:17She's just a woman.
28:18You want her.
28:19Fine.
28:20Take her.
28:20Whitney screamed.
28:22No.
28:22I want to stay with York.
28:24Charles raped me when I was 19.
28:26York's cold eyes locked onto Charles.
28:28So.
28:28It was you who forced me to marry Whitney.
28:30To get her to take that sterilization drug for Scarlet?
28:33Charles just smirked.
28:34Back then.
28:35Whitney was pregnant.
28:36And I wanted a son.
28:37Whitney's rage exploded.
28:38You bastard.
28:39York dragged Whitney out of the Lancaster house.
28:44Soon, a photo of Whitney was plastered on the front page.
28:47Mrs. Lancaster and Mr. Lancaster's explosive affair revealed.
28:51York locked Whitney in a run-down house.
28:53York slapped Whitney hard.
28:54You ruined everything with Scarlet.
28:56His lawyer was already handling the divorce papers.
28:59Whitney's eyes widened.
29:00York.
29:01I know you still want Scarlet.
29:02I'll quietly remain your shadow.
29:04York threw a stack of photos at her.
29:06You've been seducing grandpa since 10 years ago.
29:08Whitney's face drained of color.
29:10York grabbed her phone and restored deleted messages.
29:12Whitney had been planning everything.
29:14Sending taunting messages to Scarlet.
29:16Even the sterilization drugs.
29:18Whitney had gotten them.
29:20York felt a stab of pain.
29:21Even the car accident.
29:22You set it up to hit Scarlet.
29:24But the driver hit you instead.
29:25Whitney cried out.
29:26York, please.
29:28York stared at her with disgust.
29:29You wanted Scarlet to die.
29:31Now you'll rot in prison.
29:32Whitney suddenly smiled, chilling and cruel.
29:34York, do you remember when you took me for a checkup?
29:37Scarlet was there too.
29:39She went into the operating room for an abortion.
29:41York froze.
29:41You're lying.
29:42Whitney smirked.
29:43Senior Ryan knows.
29:45Ask him.
29:45York's hands grabbed her neck.
29:47That's no excuse.
29:49Whitney gasped.
29:51But she'll never forgive you.
29:52York's eyes turned cold.
29:54He pulled out his phone.
29:55Moments later, a group of beggars was ushered in.
29:57York allowed the men to torment Whitney.
29:59Whitney lay on the ground, laughing hysterically.
30:01You can never divorce me.
30:03A message from his lawyer popped up.
30:05Two divorce certificates.
30:06York spoke coldly.
30:07Whitney, we're getting divorced.
30:09When the images were placed in front of her, she screamed.
30:12No.
30:12I'm the real Mrs. Lancaster.
30:15York turned and walked out.
30:16He gave orders to his bodyguards.
30:17Send her to the police station tomorrow morning.
30:20York arrived at the hospital and found Ryan.
30:22Ryan handed him a record.
30:23Scarlet's pregnancy.
30:25One and a half months.
30:26Twins.
30:27York's heart shattered.
30:28He staggered backward.
30:29Scarlet really.
30:30She's carrying my children.
30:31She went through multiple rounds of IVF.
30:34She wanted a child so badly.
30:36She had to inject over 78 times.
30:39York's voice cracked.
30:40She's so afraid of pain.
30:42Ryan continued.
30:43When the IVF was successful, she wanted to surprise you for your anniversary.
30:47Ryan added the final devastating blow.
30:49Grandpa Hazes will required a marriage certificate to inherit.
30:52The marriage certificate you gave her was fake.
30:56York, Scarlet will never be able to have children again.
31:00To sever all ties with you, she gave up her one chance at motherhood.
31:04York covered his face with his hands, his sobs wracking his body.
31:07Scarlet.
31:07York had even taken away Whitney's ability to have children.
31:10But what he never realized was that Scarlet's fragile womb had once carried his two children.
31:14For years, Scarlet had secretly undergone treatments.
31:17One time, he had rushed home to find her pale and curled up in pain.
31:21She said it was just cramps.
31:22He had believed her.
31:24That wasn't period pain.
31:25Scarlet had been enduring the pain of preparing for pregnancy.
31:28The drastic cold medicine he gave her on their wedding night had inflicted irreparable harm.
31:32York left the hospital feeling hollow.
31:34His phone beeped.
31:35It was a news report about his parents' deaths.
31:38With all the evidence pointing back to Grandpa, the butler's frantic voice came through.
31:42Master, Grandpa has been taken by the police.
31:45York's voice was dark.
31:46Did Grandpa really kill my parents?
31:48The butler recounted events from over 20 years ago.
31:51Their parents had taken the Hayes family car.
31:53The brakes weren't working.
31:54They tumbled off a cliff.
31:55York felt like his chest had been ripped open.
31:57All these years.
31:59He had been torn.
32:02And now the truth was in front of him.
32:07His grandfather had been the mastermind.
32:09York went to the police station.
32:10When Grandpa saw him, he merely sighed.
32:12York, everything you've heard.
32:13It's true.
32:14I've been fighting with that old man from the Hayes family my entire life.
32:18York's red eyes filled with hatred.
32:20So you destroyed everything with Scarlet?
32:22You took my parents' lives just to win?
32:24Grandpa showed no remorse.
32:25Seven years ago, I secretly transferred all my shares to Scarlet.
32:29Now those shares have been fully acquired by the Barrett family.
32:32You personally sold Lancaster.
32:34Grandpa Lancaster spat out blood.
32:36What did you say?
32:37York's smile grew more pronounced.
32:38Scarlet has been in control of Lancaster's stock for all these years.
32:42Grandpa's anger flared.
32:43You bastard.
32:44I should have killed Scarlet back then.
32:46York spoke coldly.
32:47Grandpa, you stay in prison and pay for my parents' deaths.
32:51Grandpa laughed bitterly.
32:52That old man from the Hayes family.
32:54I had people take care of him.
32:56York froze.
32:56Far abroad, Scarlet received a call.
32:59Tears filled her eyes.
33:00My grandfather didn't die from a mental illness.
33:02He was murdered.
33:03Two days later, Scarlet returned to New York.
33:06She went straight to the cemetery.
33:09Grandpa, I regret it.
33:11I regret being with York.
33:12From behind a large tree, York heard her words.
33:15He had waited three days.
33:16Now she was finally here.
33:17York ran to her, pulling her into his arms.
33:19Scarlet, I'm sorry, our child.
33:21But Scarlet interrupted him.
33:23Her tone was flat.
33:24My parents are waiting.
33:25Let me go.
33:26All the words York had been dying to say were swallowed back down.
33:29Grandpa killed your grandfather.
33:31He will face legal consequences.
33:32Scarlet only replied with a cold response.
33:35York, there's no need.
33:37She pushed him away and walked toward a black car.
33:39On the way back to the city, Scarlet saw billboards flashing the same words.
33:43Scarlet, I'm sorry.
33:44I know I was wrong.
33:45Please forgive me.
33:46A month ago, York had announced his marriage to Whitney.
33:49Now he was begging for her back.
33:51Scarlet returned to the hotel and ran into Sean.
33:54York came, but I had security not let him in.
33:56Mmm, thank you, Sean.
33:58York's car pulled up.
34:00Scarlet glanced at York.
34:01Right now, the Hayes and Lancaster families are plaintiff and defendant.
34:05We'll see each other in court.
34:07Two weeks later.
34:08Grandpa Lancaster's case was finalized.
34:10Three lives, all sentenced to death.
34:15Scarlet stared at the news.
34:16Watching as York stood outside Sean's hotel with 999 roses, kneeling on one knee.
34:22York caused a stir for several days.
34:24Sean suggested they leave through the rooftop helicopter platform.
34:27Scarlet looked down she could still see York standing there.
34:30After a long pause she said quietly,
34:32Fine.
34:33A helicopter lifted off, behind it another followed fiercely.
34:36Sean's phone kept ringing.
34:38Scarlet answered.
34:39York's angry voice came through.
34:41Sean, give Scarlet back to me.
34:43Scarlet's voice was calm.
34:44York.
34:45The silence from York was followed by a choking sound.
34:48Scarlet, meet me.
34:49I've divorced Whitney.
34:50It was her and Grandpa who deceived me.
34:52Tears welled in Scarlet's eyes.
34:54York, I don't care, let's part ways.
34:56Any explanation from you is meaningless.
34:59Scarlet, I love you.
35:00Scarlet hung up.
35:01The helicopter behind them finally stopped chasing.
35:04Sean explained the past month.
35:05Whitney was always Grandpa's woman.
35:07The biggest reason York betrayed you,
35:09was because Grandpa told him Whitney had been giving him blood all these years.
35:12Scarlet's fingers pulled up her sleeve.
35:14Though the needle marks had faded, the pain still lingered.
35:18Sean, I was afraid of pain.
35:20But I was even more afraid of York dying.
35:22Now I'm not afraid anymore.
35:24This time she and York were saying their final goodbye.
35:27York watched as the helicopter flew off into the sky.
35:30Scarlet's last words echoed.
35:31Any explanation no longer mattered.
35:33He collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.
35:36After three days he survived.
35:38But only one person came to see him, Mason.
35:40He said,
35:41Brother, the bridal shop where you had your wedding with Whitney?
35:43It's Scarlet's.
35:45York ran toward the bridal shop.
35:46The shopkeeper looked at him.
35:48It's mine now Miss Hayes sold it to me.
35:50The shopkeeper returned with a bridal catalog.
35:53These are all dresses Scarlet personally designed.
35:55York's trembling hands flipped open the first page.
35:58Beside each dress was a short passage.
36:00He said I was like a jellyfish, cute, yet poisonous.
36:04Then he came across the dress Whitney had worn.
36:06First love, this was the first time he kissed me.
36:09He had just eaten strawberry candy.
36:11York's tears fell onto the pages.
36:13Scarlet had always loved him in her own way.
36:15York bought the bridal shop.
36:17Whitney had always known it was Scarlet's.
36:19She had brought him there, praising its frugality.
36:22But in the end she had destroyed Scarlet completely.
36:25York had searched for Scarlet for five years, traveling the world.
36:29The only news he received came from the front page.
36:31The heiress of the Hayes family and president of Barrett Group.
36:34Sean Barrett to marry in three days.
36:37York never imagined that Scarlet had been in New York all along.
36:39His plane arrived back the next day.
36:42He headed straight to Barrett Group.
36:43The first person he saw was Scarlet.
36:46He rushed over, pulling her into a tight embrace.
36:48Scarlet, I finally found you.
36:50York, this is my husband's office.
36:52York froze.
36:53No, I won't let you marry anyone else.
36:55York, I've only been abroad for a year.
36:58The past four years, I've been in New York.
37:00York visibly shaken replied.
37:02It doesn't matter.
37:03We've been together for 27 years.
37:05Scarlet handed him a card.
37:06This is 30 billion.
37:08It's the money from your shares.
37:10Now we're even.
37:11York's face turned pale.
37:12Scarlet, I beg you, marry me again.
37:15But what York received was a marriage certificate with Scarlet and Sean's names.
37:18York coughed up blood.
37:20Scarlet, I never meant to hurt you.
37:22Scarlet's hand brushed against York's temple, where a few strands of white hair had appeared.
37:27York, I won't save you anymore.
37:29Take care of yourself.
37:30Scarlet withdrew her hand and walked toward Sean.
37:33York watched as Scarlet was embraced by Sean.
37:35His eyes burned.
37:36Scarlet, I won't give up on you.
37:38But he didn't take the card.
37:40The wedding went on as planned.
37:41As it began, the screens displayed 999 love letters.
37:45The guests saw the last letter dated a year ago.
37:48Then they saw the very first letter dated 17 years ago.
37:51Scarlet's eyes filled with shock.
37:52This is a love letter I never had the courage to send.
37:55Scarlet, I think I've fallen for you.
37:57Scarlet felt tears welling up.
37:59She hadn't expected that Sean had started secretly loving her back in high school.
38:03Just then, security's panicked voice broke through.
38:06Mr. Sean, someone's trying to commit suicide on the rooftop.
38:09It's Mr. York.
38:11Scarlet's hand trembled.
38:12Sean looked at her.
38:13Scarlet, I'll handle this.
38:15Scarlet shook her head.
38:16Sean, the wedding will proceed.
38:18Can we delay it by 20 minutes?
38:20Sean pulled her into his arms.
38:22I know you won't feel right if something happens to him.
38:24I'll wait for you.
38:26Scarlet reached the rooftop.
38:27York stood there in the white suit they had worn on their wedding day.
38:30York, do you want to die?
38:31York's red eyes were filled with pain.
38:34Scarlet, I can't live without you.
38:36Scarlet smiled through her tears.
38:38I felt the same way when I saw you kiss Whitney.
38:40York's voice was desperate.
38:42Scarlet, forgive me.
38:43Scarlet smiled lightly.
38:44York, there's a gift I gave you seven years ago at our anniversary restaurant.
38:50Go get it.
38:51The 30 billion is returned to you.
38:53From now on, we're even.
38:55Wearing her wedding dress, Scarlet walked away.
38:57York rushed to the restaurant.
38:59The manager handed him a frozen box.
39:01This is the gift Miss Scarlet said to give you.
39:03York's trembling hands opened the box.
39:06Inside was a bloodied mess, two tiny unrecognizable figures.
39:10York's heart shattered as he cried out in agony.
39:12In that moment, he finally understood why Scarlet could never forgive him.
39:16Back at the wedding, Sean took Scarlet's hand.
39:19The wedding was a spectacle.
39:20On their wedding night, Scarlet received the news that York had donated the 30 billion to a
39:25children's foundation.
39:26She glanced at Sean.
39:28Then she kissed his brow.
39:29Mmm, husband.
39:30At the sound of that word.
39:32Sean kissed her lips.
39:33Scarlet, no matter how York refuses to let go, I will never let go of your hand.
39:38Scarlet smiled.
39:39I'll learn to love you.
39:40That night, York jumped from the original Lancaster building.
39:43The next day, the city was filled with news of his suicide.
39:47Scarlet couldn't bring herself to watch.
39:49Later it was Sean who handled the funeral arrangements.
39:52When York died, he was holding a single, bright red rose.
39:55In Scarlet's mind, a memory from when she was 15 resurfaced.
39:59Brother York, what kind of flower do you think I resemble?
40:01The boy had smiled, pointing at a potted rose.
40:04Scarlet, you're a red rose, fragile yet prickly.
40:07Only I can take care of you.
40:08Scarlet looked at the rose Sean had placed this morning.
40:11Her tears fell like rain.
40:12Hear the accent.
40:12They grew up on the mars with trust with a grandfather.
40:12Jane, as you are morning
