Short filmTranscript
00:00Seven years of marriage and Scarlett Hayes had just inherited billions, but while going through
00:05the paperwork with her lawyer she learned the truth. Her marriage certificate was a lie. The
00:09fortune one she was supposed to share would now be hers alone. After her lawyer dug into the details
00:14he dropped a bombshell. Mr. Lancaster's spouse on record is Whitney Owens. You Mrs. Hayes are
00:19currently unmarried. The whole city of New York knew that Scarlett and York Lancaster had been
00:24promised to each other since childhood. She was York's precious jewel his everything. At their
00:29wedding, York had given her the fairy tale ceremony, making vows before everyone. York Lancaster will
00:34never betray Scarlett Hayes. But the truth? The marriage certificate of York and Whitney was filed
00:39the day after their wedding. Scarlett let out a bitter laugh. She stared blankly at her phone,
00:44hands trembling as a message came in. Baby, your favorite new Gucci bag just landed. I'm swinging
00:49by the office first, then straight home to you. Love you. It was supposed to be the day York returned
00:53from his business trip. Scarlett was waiting for him at the airport. But as she watched the two of
00:58them step out of the terminal, her fists clenched. There, York tucked his phone into his coat pocket
01:03and cupped Whitney Owens' neck. Kissing her with abandon, Scarlett's face was already streaked with
01:08tears. York could kiss another woman while whispering love to her. As she watched York, memories flooded
01:13her mind. They had grown up together in middle school. Scarlett's parents planned to move her
01:20abroad, but York begged them to let her stay. He kneeled in front of her house for seven days,
01:25holding onto her hand as he fell unconscious, pleading. Scarlett, don't go. You're mine.
01:30You've always been mine. I won't survive without you. Throughout high school and college,
01:34York had always been by her side. Everyone knew Scarlett was York's treasure. After the scholastic
01:40assessment test, the Lancaster family pushed York to apply to a university abroad, but he stayed in
01:45New York with her. Where Scarlett goes, I go. The 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 deeply
01:54would betray her like this. The marriage certificate was something York had arranged for the lawyer to
01:58file the very next 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. But in the end, York had secretly
02:08married another woman. He 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. She didn't go home, instead she went straight
02:18to the lawyer to begin asset inheritance. All the Hayes family's assets were now under her name,
02:23including the Lancaster shares York had transferred to her before the marriage.
02:26The lawyer asked again, confirming with her.
02:29Ms. Hayes, are you sure to sell all assets, including the Hayes family business?
02:33Yes. Sell it all.
02:39In a matter of hours, Scarlett signed several contracts. Half of the Hayes assets were sold.
02:44The other half was promised to buyers from out of town, who couldn't make it immediately but were
02:48preparing funds to complete the transactions in the next few days. The 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. York's cold gaze fixed on her.
03:04Scarlett, where have you been? I called you 50 times, waited two hours. Do you have any idea how
03:09worried I was?
03:10She met his stare head on, the image burned fresh in her mind. York's arm locked around Whitney's waist
03:15at the airport, his mouth devouring hers like she 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 turn.
03:24He stepped closer.
03:26You know I hate it when you disappear without a word. Wasn't the last time enough punishment for you?
03:30Before she could react, his hand grabbed her waist tightly. Scarlett's body stiffened,
03:35her lashes trembling as she stood frozen. The scent of his cologne, once so comforting,
03:39now felt like a warning. Dangerous, suffocating, she knew York's possessiveness too well.
03:44At 20, she'd run off with friends for one reckless mountain trip, just to breathe. York went wild,
03:50mobilizing helicopters across the city to search for her. When he finally found her,
03:54the first thing he did was lock her in his apartment for an entire month,
03:57taking what he wanted relentlessly. She begged him to stop, but he didn't listen,
04:01it was only when she swore she would never disappear again, that he finally let go.
04:05After that, Scarlett had been terrified of York. Now York's long fingers lifted her chin.
04:09Talk. Scarlett. Are you trying to make me punish you again?
04:12A hint of panic flashed in her eyes. If he found out what she was planning,
04:16to leave him for good, he would truly snap. Her voice trembled.
04:20I. I was at the hospital. The words hit him like a stone, his eyes darkened instantly,
04:25his lips brushed her forehead as he whispered softly.
04:27Baby, I know you still want my kids, but your body, it can't. We've tried for years,
04:32enough? I just want you. No more hospitals. I hate seeing you in pain.
04:3623 rounds of IVF. Bruised arms. Endless needles. All for nothing. Moments later York's phone rang,
04:43he reached over and rubbed her head gently. I've gotta head out for a bit. Stay here. Don't make me
04:48angry, Scarlett. He was gone before she could answer. Scarlett let out a hollow, bitter laugh,
04:53so he'd only come back to make sure his little bird was still in the cage. Half an hour later,
04:58Scarlett received a voice message from an unfamiliar number.
05:01York, is Whitney really pregnant? Yeah. Three months, Scarlett can't give me kids,
05:06but my family needs an heir, grandfather's riding my ass. The voice sounded like one of
05:10York's friends. York, you insisted on marrying Scarlett. That's why your grandfather made you
05:15sterilize her and forbade you two from registering your marriage. Scarlett's face went deftly pale
05:19sterilization. The pain in her chest intensified, her body aching as memories flooded back. York had
05:25brought her a bowl of special herbal medicine on their wedding night. Scarlett, this is a fertility
05:29recipe from my family. Drink it, and we'll make a baby tonight. Back then, she had shyly lain in his
05:35arms as he fed her every last drop. He had never intended for her to have children. The voice on
05:40the recording continued. Of course I love Scarlett. How else would I make Whitney pregnant for her?
05:44How else would I fight against my family just to keep her? My parents died in that crash because
05:49of her family. I've tried to bury it. I've given Scarlett everything. Except kids. Except a real
05:54marriage. Everything else is hers. And Whitney? Just your incubator? Long silence then York's voice
06:01quiet, honest. Whitney is calm, peaceful. When I'm with her, I feel at ease. That's something Scarlett
06:08can never give me. Scarlett couldn't bear to listen any longer. She cut off the recording and let the
06:12tears fall silently. So York had never found peace in his heart for her. She dialed a number, her voice
06:18shaky. Ryan, can you fit in one more surgery tomorrow morning? What kind? I'll call the head surgeon.
06:23Abortion. That night after York had left, Scarlett received a text from him.
06:28Scarlett, I won't be coming back tonight. I drank too much, and I'll go to the office in the morning,
06:33be back tomorrow night. But the man who said he would go to the office showed up at the hospital
06:37with Whitney Owens. There, in the gynecology department, Scarlett saw York holding Whitney
06:42close, shielding her in a corner. That domineering protection. Just like the way he used to shield her.
06:47York, I'm fine. There are too many pregnant women here. Don't worry.
06:51York's voice was low, filled with restraint. I told you to go to a private hospital.
06:55But you insisted not. This place is not good at all.
06:59Whitney's eyes darkened. York, I'm just a servant's daughter,
07:02not at your or Miss Scarlett's status. This costs less, and I don't want to waste your money.
07:06York's profile softened with tenderness. Scarlett always wants the best. The most expensive.
07:11One bag for her costs what you make in 10 years. She is never understanding like you.
07:16As York spoke, he embraced Whitney and kissed her forehead. Scarlett, hiding in plain sight,
07:20couldn't bear it any longer. York had transferred all his Lancaster shares to her before their
07:24wedding. And then Scarlett heard 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,
07:36one and only. She had begged him to get it for her. The bitter realization churned in her gut as
07:41she made her way toward the operating room. As she changed into her surgical gown,
07:44her phone rang. It was York. She answered, her voice barely masking her exhaustion.
07:49Scarlett, you awake? Still upset. His tone was unusually soft.
07:53I've got 99 roses coming your way. Our wedding anniversary's coming up. I'll surprise you.
07:58Just wait. Scarlett hung up, not wanting to hear another word.
08:02Lying on the cold operating table, Scarlett stared up at the sterile ceiling,
08:06her heart as numb as the instruments that would soon end her only hope.
08:09The recovery room door swung open. Ryan 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. Are you sure you
08:20want to do this? Tears blurred Scarlett's vision, but she forced herself to speak.
08:24I've decided, Ryan. The twins were her gift to York for their seventh wedding anniversary.
08:29A gift he never wanted. One he had tried to destroy from the start. Cold 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. When she woke up after the procedure, the first message
08:43she received was from an unknown number. It was a location for a bridal shop. Despite the pain,
08:49Scarlett dragged herself into a car and headed straight there. When she arrived, York and Whitney
08:53were just outside. York had his arms wrapped around Whitney, his voice filled with helplessness.
08:58Whitney, you're my wife. I can't give you the big public wedding you deserve,
09:01but at least let me see you in white tonight. York, it's too much. The dresses here cost a
09:08fortune. York gently touched her nose, his voice full of tenderness. Silly girl. I can't give you
09:13my name on paper, but I can make you happy. Let me do this for you. Scarlett sat in the
09:18car,
09:18her chest aching. Whitney was his wife now. Then who was she? Watching York treat Whitney the same
09:23way he once treated her. Holding her, kissing her, speaking to her with affection, it felt like a
09:28dagger to her heart. And 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. She and York had picked out
09:37their wedding dress in this very shop. And now several luxury cars lined up in front. Out of
09:41the car stepped York's friends. Guys she had known for years. Scarlett overheard their conversation.
09:46York's throwing Whitney a secret wedding right here tonight, full surprise. Scarlett gonna flip if
09:51she finds out. Scarlett can't have kids, so York lied to her. Even the marriage certificate was fake.
09:57Scarlett felt her blood run cold. So all the friends she had grown up with knew about York's
10:01betrayal? The bridal shop was hers. She had opened it when she was bored in college. Every wedding
10:06dress in the store was designed by her. Only the manager knew she was the owner. Once the crowd
10:11entered, Scarlett slipped through the back door. She stood at a shadowy spot on the third floor,
10:16where she could watch without being seen. There on the stage stood York in a white suit.
10:21Ann Whitney in a snow-white wedding dress. This dress. The inspiration came from their first kiss.
10:26When York had pinned her against a blackboard. His lips tasting of strawberry candy. She had
10:30designed it calling it first love. Now York and Whitney stood on the stage. Surrounded by friends
10:35she had known all her life. They clapped and cheered. York, your bride is beautiful. York,
10:41congratulations. It's time to exchange rings. Scarlett watched as York took the ring from the box.
10:46The rings were identical. To the ones. They had exchanged at their wedding. So even the rings
10:50were part of this twisted triangle. Suddenly the lights on stage flickered and went out.
10:54But the lights above where Scarlett stood remained brightly lit. The moment York saw Scarlett. His
10:59eyes turned red. He dropped everything. Abandoned Whitney. And rushed toward the third floor.
11:04Everyone watched as York trembled. His face ashen. He shakily wrapped his arms around Scarlett.
11:09Who looked lifeless. Her eyes dull.
11:12Scarlett. Baby, listen.
11:13His voice cracked. We were just shooting a promo video. That's all.
11:17I had dropped citywide on our anniversary. It was gonna be my surprise for you. The ring is
11:22designed for you. Only you. York's trembling hand immediately placed the ring on Scarlett's ring
11:27finger. But Scarlett could feel it. The ring wouldn't fit. It wasn't her size. Meanwhile,
11:32downstairs Whitney's face was pale, tears brimming in her eyes. York's voice turned icy.
11:37Secretary Owens, my wife is upset. You'd better explain, right now.
11:40Whitney's voice was meek, full of submission.
11:43Ms. Hayes, this whole wedding setup. It's just for the commercial. The ad's scheduled to run
11:47everywhere. Three days from now, on your anniversary.
11:50York's handsome face broke into a smile as he held Scarlett close.
11:53See baby? It's all for you. Everything I do is for you. I love you, Scarlett. That's never gonna
11:59change. 27 years of those same sweet words. She'd swallowed everyone, believed everyone,
12:04and now he stood here. After betraying her, after sterilizing her, after giving another woman their
12:09rings, and had the nerve to say them again, in front of everyone. Whitney, clearly stung by York's
12:14words, couldn't hold herself back. I wish Mr. Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster a lifetime of happiness.
12:22May you have a baby soon? The word baby slammed into Scarlett like a blade. She turned and ran,
12:28down the stairs, out the door, no looking back. York's voice cracked as he screamed her name,
12:32Whitney. He frantically ran after her. Scarlett stood frozen, watching as York chased after Whitney.
12:38A black SUV screamed around the corner. Brakes screeched too late. The impact was deafening.
12:44Whitney's body flew, white dress flaring like wings. Then slammed onto the asphalt. Scarlett
12:48stepped to the road, standing there as York screamed in agony, Whitney, no. York rushed to her,
12:53cradling her in his arms. Trembling uncontrollably, Whitney in her last moments,
12:58turned her body to protect York from the impact. Taking the brunt of the car's second hit,
13:02blood poured out onto the street. Whitney, still coughing up blood, gasped.
13:06The baby. York, save our baby. York's eyes met Scarlett's, filled with unbearable pain.
13:12Scarlett, I told you. There's nothing between us. It was just the ad. Why won't you believe me?
13:17Why did you have to do this? In that moment, Scarlett saw hatred in York's eyes. He could also
13:22hear the voices around them. Mason spoke up, his tone harsh.
13:25Scarlett, York really loves you. He sent Whitney away for seven years. Married her only because
13:31his grandpa forced it. Others timed in. Scarlett, you're being too cruel. Whitney never asked for
13:37anything. She's carried his kid quietly. How can you take everything from her? All those friends
13:42who once called Scarlett and York the perfect couple, destined for each other, now stood like
13:46self-righteous judges. Arms crossed. Eyes hard. They blamed her for York's seven years of deceit.
13:52Yet somehow it was still her fault. Whitney had been sent to the hospital. Scarlett followed close
13:57behind. Whitney had bled heavily. The baby couldn't be saved. And her uterus had been removed due to
14:02excessive blood loss. York was devastated.
14:05Whitney. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have mistaken everything you quietly did for me.
14:10Thinking it was Scarlett's doing. I love the wrong person. I always thought it was her.
14:14Scarlett was stunned by his words. So everything Whitney did for York, York thought it was her?
14:19A bitter smile crept onto Scarlett's face. She had done so much for him too, from the moment she was
14:24a child. She had silently been his blood bank. Since she was five, she knew York had a platelet
14:29deficiency and needed regular blood transfusions. She was terrified he might die.
14:35She had given him her blood all these years. And she had always gotten sick while York grew
14:40stronger. Later, in middle school, her parents tried to take her away. Worried she was giving
14:45her life away for York. York had thought it was because he knelt for seven days that they allowed
14:48her to stay. But in reality, it was Scarlett who had threatened to die. Now hearing York express his
14:54regrets about loving her, Scarlett realized something. He regretted it too. Had she known their
14:58love would end up like this, she would have never allowed it to start. Scarlett turned toward the
15:03elevator. But just a few steps away, York collapsed to the floor. This time, she chose not to save him.
15:08The silence of the night was suffocating. Scarlett sat alone in the villa. Yet the chaos on her social
15:13media was anything but quiet. Everyone she knew was reposting a video. In the video, the bride's
15:18face was hidden, but the groom was placing a ring on her finger. The caption read, Mr. Lancaster and
15:23Mrs. Lancaster's seventh wedding anniversary. Scarlett's lips twisted into a mocking smile.
15:28Seven years, the same seven years York and Whitney had been together. Her phone rang,
15:32York's grandpa. She answered it. Scarlett, York needs blood urgently, get to the hospital, now.
15:40Scarlett's eyes flashed with coldness. Sorry, Mr. Lancaster, I'm neither York's wife nor his
15:45girlfriend. We're not even related. I've got zero obligation to save him. You understand now,
15:50huh? Scarlett sneered. Thanks to you, now I don't even have to divorce him. If he dies tonight,
15:55maybe I'll attend his funeral. Scarlett. You're exactly like your grandfather,
15:59the person I've hated most in this world. Charles Lancaster hung up. For the entire night,
16:04Scarlett didn't sleep. She spent the night alone, going through all the things related to her and
16:08York. Scarlett shattered the wedding photos one by one with a hammer. The floor was covered in
16:13shattered glass. The clothes York had bought for her. He packed them all up, including jewelry and
16:18bags. In the dead of night, she had everything sent off to a second-hand auction. The gifts she and
16:23York had exchanged over the years. He packed them up, too. Scarlett stared at the rabbit doll York
16:28had bought for her when she cried as a child. She moved everything to the yard and set it all
16:32on
16:33fire. Her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number and the message read,
16:37I never knew he loved me this much. The kind of love that makes a man give up everything,
16:41even his own life. Scarlett replied with one line,
16:45Whitney, congrats, you just took out my trash.
16:49Three hours later, Scarlett received a message that York had woken up. She knew the Lancaster
16:54Private Hospital. Still kept five bags of her blood on standby. 27 years of regular donations,
16:59just in case York ever needed it. Last night he'd been bleeding out. Those five bags were probably
17:04gone. She looked at the ashes. 27 years of her life. Reduced to a few hours of cleanup. Done.
17:10The front door burst open. Two of York's bodyguards stormed in, no words. Just grabbed her arms and
17:16dragged her out. She was forcibly taken to the hospital. When she pushed open the door to the
17:20hospital room, there York was holding Whitney in his arms. York's eyes were full of rage.
17:25Scarlett, how dare you bribe the doctor to kill Whitney's baby? How dare you make them rip out
17:30her uterus? Scarlett froze. She heard the doctor speak. Mr. 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, his anger palpable. For the first time,
17:45York grabbed her by the neck. How could you use money and power to destroy her?
17:49When did you turn into this monster? As York's words hit her, Scarlett looked at him with tears
17:55in her eyes. But there was no trace of the love he once had for her. Only anger and disgust.
18:00Scarlett smiled bitterly and said, York, 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. Get her to the operating room. Remove her uterus.
18:14Two doctors immediately restrained her. Scarlett's mind spun. York, what did you just say?
18:20York's eyes were filled with ice. You can't owe someone forever, Scarlett. You took Whitney's
18:24baby. Now you pay it back? Once you've given her what she lost. I'll love you again, like before.
18:29At a single glance from York, the doctors took Scarlett away. One held a syringe of anesthetic
18:34and injected it into her arm. Within seconds, Scarlett's vision blurred, and she drifted into
18:40unconsciousness. In her fading consciousness, she heard York's voice again, holding Whitney in his
18:44arms. Baby, don't cry. It kills me when you cry. Through the fog, she could hear York and the
18:50doctor's conversation clearly. Mr. Lancaster, Miss Hayes already had a uterine scrape recently.
18:55Is removing her uterus really necessary? York's voice was low with doubt as he asked.
19:01A uterine scrape? The doctor quickly explained. A uterine scrape might be necessary if there are
19:06conditions like fibroids. York's voice grew colder. Remove Scarlett's uterus and show it to
19:10Whitney. She's been crying nonstop. Do the surgery now. The doctor hesitated. Mr. Lancaster, we have
19:17to wait at least an hour after the anesthesia wears off. York's impatience flared. Scarlett's
19:22already unconscious. Do it immediately. A single tear rolled down Scarlett's cheek. Her uterus was
19:27taken, all to stop Whitney from crying. Scarlett lost a lot of blood. When she finally woke up two days
19:33later, York's cold eyes met hers. Before she could say anything York spoke. His voice cold and accusing.
19:40You nearly bled out. Whitney was the one who gave you blood. Scarlett, you owe her now. Do you
19:45understand? Whitney standing by and peeling an orange shyly added. York, please. I'm not looking
19:51for thanks from Miss Scarlett, but half my blood is inside her now. If saving her life means giving
19:56every last drop of mine, I'd do it, even if it killed me. Her words were so sweet so selfless
20:02but York
20:02responded with an icy tone. Scarlett, you owe Whitney. You will pay her back with your identity.
20:08Scarlett's gaze was fixed on York, but there was no longer light in her eyes. She silently endured
20:12the pain and sat up in bed. Whitney, who had been quietly watching them, suddenly spoke. Her voice
20:18trembling with emotion. York, I don't want anything. I just want you and Scarlett to be happy. I can leave
20:24and never see you again. With those words, Whitney collapsed. York immediately let go of Scarlett and
20:29rushed to catch Whitney in his arms. Not everyone's gonna keep indulging you. Scarlett, Whitney gave
20:34you her blood. You should be on your knees thanking her. Your grandfather's dead. You've got no one left
20:39in New York. Scarlett understood in that moment. Not going abroad with her parents had been a huge
20:43mistake. York quickly left the room still holding Whitney tightly. Scarlett, gritting her teeth against
20:48the pain, left the hospital. Her phone buzzed with several messages from her lawyer. Miss Scarlett,
20:54the remaining buyers have arrived in New York and are ready to sign the contracts. Scarlett went straight to
20:58the law firm. She completed the sale of the last half of the Hayes family assets and the shares
21:03York had given her. He personally found the buyers for them. Her next move was to contact York's sworn
21:10enemy, Sean Barrett. She sent him a message. Prepare 30 billion. I'll sell you all my Lancaster
21:14shares. Sean's reply was brief. Done. She would destroy Lancaster and with it York, just as he had
21:20destroyed her, she would destroy him completely. Scarlett glanced toward the shopping mall across the
21:25street where a large screen was broadcasting York's public announcement of his marriage
21:28to Whitney. Seven years ago, I married Whitney. Let me be clear. My wife, my only wife, has always
21:35been Whitney. Scarlett's clear gaze revealed nothing. Her phone rang, and it was York's name
21:39on the screen. Scarlett answered. Her voice calm. York's anger-filled voice erupted. Scarlett,
21:44get your ass back to the hospital right now. Whitney's getting worse. You're the one who's going to take
21:49care of her. Scarlett stared at the screen, her voice indifferent. Didn't you already give her my
21:53uterus? What more do you want? My hands too. York's voice grew harsher. Don't play games.
21:59Whitney lost our baby. Do you even get what that does to a mother? Scarlett's heart twisted in pain
22:03as memories of the two lost children flashed in her mind. York, I understand. York's tone softened.
22:11Since you understand, come take care of Whitney. If you do, I'll forgive you. He wanted both women.
22:16Scarlett took a deep breath and spoke, her voice steady. York, we're done. They didn't have a real
22:21marriage. Seven years of an illegal marriage, and now it would all end. She hung up. Scarlett found
22:26a quiet cafe. She dialed her lawyer. Scarlett didn't need their gratitude, nor their fake
22:31kindness, but those she had helped stood against her now. Hurting her instead. She couldn't bear
22:36it. She would take back everything she had ever given them. Three things. First, back Mason Harris's
22:41brother for CEO of Harris Group, with all my shares. Second, leak everything about the Blackwood
22:46scandal. Third, the evidence tying old Mr. Lancaster to his son and daughter-in-law's deaths.
22:50Hand it to the police, today. The power struggle over the Harris family years ago. It was Scarlett
22:56who had helped Mason secretly, as for the elder Mr. Lancaster's role in his own son's death.
23:01Scarlett's grandfather had known all along, and the Blackwood family, York's good friend Hugo,
23:05had come to her six months ago asking for a loan. She had lent him money. Though she had
23:10helped stood against her now. She would take back everything. The 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. Sean's voice was dark. Are you sure about this,
23:25Scarlett? Once I buy those Lancaster shares. York won't climb out of the grave I dig for him.
23:31Without hesitation, Scarlett signed the transfer agreement. Once the contract was signed,
23:36Sean personally took her to the airport. Scarlett, stay, just a little longer, please.
23:40Scarlett looked at him. Sean, congratulations, from today on, the top five families in New York
23:46will be reduced to just the Barrett family. She walked toward the boarding gate without looking
23:50back. York would be a part of her past. A past better left behind. York stared at his phone
23:55had Scarlett really said, done? They had been together for over 20 years. York called her again,
24:00but the phone didn't connect. If it weren't for Whitney secretly donating a bag of blood every six
24:05months, stored in Lancaster Hospital, he would have died by now. What he hadn't known was that all this
24:10time. The blood being donated wasn't from adults. It was from Whitney's fragile body.
24:15She had saved his life for 20 years. York had always thought it was Scarlett,
24:19because every time he received a blood transfusion, Scarlett was always the one lying on the bed next
24:24to him. It wasn't until half a year ago that he realized the person saving him wasn't Scarlett.
24:29It was Whitney. At that moment, a nurse ran into the room. Mr. Lancaster, Mrs. Lancaster is awake.
24:35The moment York heard Mrs. Lancaster, his first thought was Scarlett, but he quickly realized it was
24:40Whitney. York rushed to the next room where Whitney lay, tears streaming. I'm sorry, York. Let's get
24:45a divorce. I'm the one who caused all the problems. York pulled Whitney into his arms.
24:50Overwhelmed with guilt. Whitney, you haven't done anything wrong. Scarlett's uterus has already
24:55been taken. I gave it to you. I'll take care of you now. Two weeks passed with no news from
24:59Scarlett.
25:00Meanwhile, the news was full of scandals involving his closest friends. Mason had been kicked out.
25:05The Blackwood family was being investigated. Mason arrived at the hospital.
25:08York, where's Scarlett? I've been looking for her for the past two weeks.
25:12York's brows furrowed. If she's not at the villa, where else would she be?
25:15Mason's face fell. York, Scarlett's not at the villa. Her phone is off.
25:20York refused to believe it. Scarlett 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. I'll apologize to Scarlett. York looked at her.
25:31Whitney, wait for me here. As soon as the door shut, Whitney's face transformed.
25:35A cruel smile curled her lips. Scarlett, you've finally left.
25:40York arrived at the villa and searched high and low. Scarlett was nowhere to be found.
25:44One of the servants nervously spoke up. Mr. 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. Scarlett's things were gone from the closet. Frantically,
25:55he rushed to the large iron barrel. Amid the ashes, he could still make out the shapes.
25:59Gifts he had given her, a rabbit doll, clothes. York crouched in front of the barrel,
26:03staring at the ashes. His heart shattered. His phone rang. It was his assistant.
26:08Mr. Lancaster, Scarlett left for Y Country two weeks ago. All of the Hayes family assets have
26:13been liquidated, including Hayes Tower. York's phone slipped from his hand she had left.
26:17He rushed to the Hayes family mansion. It was empty. The company had been sold.
26:21Mason nervously explained. York, the 18% of shares supporting me were Scarlett's.
26:26She sold them to my older brother. The Blackwood family fell. I was out.
26:29All of them had been helped by Scarlett.
26:33York's face went pale. His assistant's call came again.
26:36The last person she met was Sean buried. York's jealousy flared. He dialed the number.
26:41Sean answered with a laugh. York, aren't you asking a bit too late?
26:44Scarlett sold all her shares to me. 300 billion. Now you're about to be kicked out of Lancaster Group.
26:50York felt a surge of blood rush to his head. Sean continued.
26:53Scarlett risked her life for you. She's nearly died several times giving you blood.
26:57Just those 300 billion don't even come close to what she sacrificed.
27:00Sean sent through images. York stared at the photos. Each one of Scarlett when they were younger.
27:05He was unconscious, injured and she was sitting beside him, giving him blood. He could see the
27:09love in her eyes as she smiled at him. There were more images. Scarlett leaning over his bed.
27:14The IV line still attached to her arm. York looked at the records. They were all signed by Scarlett herself.
27:19The pieces fell into place. His grandfather had lied.
27:22It was Scarlett. It had always been Scarlett.
27:24York's body trembled with fury. He sped back to the Lancaster family mansion.
27:29He headed straight for his grandfather's study. With a violent kick, he threw open the door.
27:34But what York saw he never could have imagined.
27:39Whitney Owens
27:40In a stark white outfit, crouched between Charles Lancaster's legs, York's stomach churned,
27:45his icy gaze locked onto them.
27:47Charles, what exactly are you and Whitney doing here?
27:49Whitney's face drained of color. She collapsed to the floor.
27:52York, please let me explain.
27:54Charles remained calm.
27:56York, there's nothing to explain. Whitney 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, I was forced. Charles told me. If I served him, the Lancaster Empire would be yours.
28:08York kicked her away. At that moment, he had lost all trust in Whitney.
28:12He'd had everything investigated. Whitney's blood type didn't even match his.
28:15Charles's face darkened.
28:17York, she's just a woman. You want her? Fine, take her.
28:20Whitney screamed.
28:22No. I want to stay with York. Charles raped me when I was 19.
28:26York's cold eyes locked onto Charles.
28:28So, it was you who forced me to marry Whitney. To get her to take that sterilization drug for
28:32Scarlet? Charles just smirked.
28:34Back then, Whitney was pregnant, and 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, I know you still want Scarlet. I'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.
29:19York 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.
29:42You're lying.
29:42Whitney smirked.
29:43Senior Ryan knows.
29:44Ask him.
29:45York's hands grabbed her neck.
29:47That's no excuse.
29:50Whitney 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, one and a half months, twins.
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 require the 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.
31:03York 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.
31:50Their parents had taken the Hayes family car.
31:52The 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.
32:08York 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.
32:19So 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 an 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.
33:14He had waited three days.
33:15Now 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.
33:30He will face legal consequences.
33:32Scarlet only replied with a cold response.
33:35York, there's no need.
33:36She pushed him away and walked toward a black car.
33:39On the way back to the city, Scarlet saw billboards flashing the same words.
33:42Scarlet, I'm sorry, I 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.
33:56Mm, 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, Grandpa Lancaster's case was finalized.
34:10Three lives, all sentenced to death.
34:15Scarlet stared at the news, watching as York stood outside Sean's hotel with 999 roses,
34:21kneeling 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.
34:28She could still see York standing there.
34:30After a long pause, she said quietly,
34:32Fine.
34:33A helicopter lifted off.
34:34Behind 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, the 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, was 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, but 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.
35:37But 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 the 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.
36:08He 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.
36:18She 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.
36:40His plane arrived back the next day.
36:42He headed straight to Barrett Group.
36:43The first person he saw was Scarlet.
36:45He 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.
37:14But 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.
37:39The 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.
38:10Scarlet'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?
38:32York's red eyes were filled with pain.
38:34Scarlet, I can't live without you.
38:36Scarlet smiled through her tears.
38:37I 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.
39:05Inside 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
39:25to a children'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.
