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
00:54from 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,
01:35York 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.
02:27The 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 at
03:15the airport, his mouth devouring hers like she was oxygen and he was drowning. Once upon a time,
03:21those same lips on Scarlett had felt like heaven, now they made her stomach turn. He 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?
04:13A 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.
04:41Moments later, York's phone rang, he reached over and rubbed her head gently.
04:45I've gotta head out for a bit. Stay here, don't make me angry, Scarlett.
04:49He 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.
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,
05:07grandfather's riding my ass. The voice sounded like one of York's friends.
05:11York, you insisted on marrying Scarlett, that's why your grandfather made you sterilize her and
05:15forbade you two from registering your marriage. Scarlett's face went deathly pale sterilization.
05:20The pain in her chest intensified, her body aching as memories flooded back. York had brought
05:25her a bowl of special herbal medicine on their wedding night.
05:28Scarlett, this is a fertility recipe from my family. Drink 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. The voice on the recording continued.
05:41Of 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?
05:47My parents died in that crash because of her family. I've tried to bury it.
05:51I've given Scarlett everything. Except kids. Except a real marriage. Everything else is hers.
05:57And Whitney? Just your incubator?
06:00Long silence, then York's voice, quiet, honest.
06:03Whitney is calm, peaceful. When I'm with her, I feel at ease. That's something Scarlett can never
06:08give 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,
06:17her voice shaky. Ryan, can you fit in one more surgery tomorrow morning?
06:21What 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
06:47her. York, 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. But you
06:56insisted not. This place is not good at all. Whitney's eyes darkened. York, I'm just a
07:01servant's daughter, not at your or Miss Scarlett's status. This costs less, and I don't want to
07:06waste your money. York's profile softened with tenderness. Scarlett always wants the best,
07:10the most expensive. One bag for her costs what you make in 10 years. She is never understanding
07:15like you. As York spoke, he embraced Whitney and kissed her forehead. Scarlett, hiding in plain
07:20sight, couldn't bear it any longer. York had transferred all his Lancaster shares to her
07:24before their wedding. And then Scarlett heard York say, You'll stay with my parents for the
07:28pregnancy. And the green diamond I bought at the auction will 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
07:41made her way toward the operating room. As she changed into her surgical gown, her phone rang,
07:45it was York. She answered, her voice barely masking her exhaustion. Scarlett, you awake? Still upset.
07:51His tone was unusually soft. I've got 99 roses coming your way. Our wedding anniversary's coming up.
07:57I'll surprise you. Just 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,
08:19are you sure you want to do this? Tears blurred Scarlett's vision,
08:22but she forced herself to speak. I've decided, Ryan.
08:26The twins were her gift to York for their seventh wedding anniversary. A gift he never wanted,
08:30one 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,
08:43the first message she received was from an unknown number. It 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. York had his arms wrapped around Whitney,
08:56his voice filled with helplessness. Whitney, you're my wife. I can't give you the big public wedding
09:01you deserve, but at least let me see you in white tonight. York, it's too much. The dresses here cost
09:08a fortune. 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. York
09:33Lancaster didn't deserve to breathe the same air as her children. She and York had picked out their
09:37wedding dress in this very shop. And now several luxury cars lined up in front. Out of the car
09:42stepped York's friends. Guys she had known for years. Scarlett overheard their conversation.
09:47York's throwing Whitney a secret wedding right here tonight, full surprise. Scarlett gonna flip if she
09:51finds 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.
10:05Every wedding dress in the store was designed by her. Only the manager knew she was the owner.
10:11Once the crowd entered, Scarlett slipped through the back door. She stood at a shadowy spot on the third
10:16floor, where she could watch without being seen. There on the stage stood York in a white suit.
10:20And 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 designed
10:31it calling it first love. Now York and Whitney stood on the stage. Surrounded by friends she had
10:36known all her life. They clapped and cheered.
10:38York, your bride is beautiful. York, congratulations! It's time to exchange rings!
10:43Scarlett watched as York took the ring from the box. The rings were identical. To the ones. They had
10:48exchanged at their wedding. So even the rings were part of this twisted triangle. Suddenly the lights
10:53on stage flickered and went out. But the lights above where Scarlett stood remained brightly lit.
10:57The moment York saw Scarlett. His eyes turned red. He dropped everything. Abandoned Whitney.
11:02And rushed toward the third floor. Everyone watched as York trembled. His face ashen. He shakily wrapped
11:08his arms around Scarlett. Who looked lifeless. Her eyes dull. Scarlett. Baby, listen. His voice
11:14cracked. We were just shooting a promo video. That's all. I had dropped city-wide on our anniversary.
11:20It was gonna be my surprise for you. The ring is designed for you. Only you. York's trembling hand
11:25immediately placed the ring on Scarlett's ring finger. But Scarlett could feel it. The ring wouldn't fit.
11:30It wasn't her size. Meanwhile, downstairs Whitney's face was pale. Tears brimming in her eyes. York's
11:36voice turned icy. Secretary Owens, my wife is upset. You'd better explain, right now.
11:41Whitney's voice was meek, full of submission. Ms. Hayes, this whole wedding setup. It's just for
11:46the commercial. The ad's scheduled to run everywhere. Three days from now, on your anniversary. York's
11:50handsome face broke into a smile as he held Scarlett close. See baby? It's all for you. Everything I do
11:56is for you. I love you, Scarlett. That's never gonna change. 27 years of those same sweet words.
12:02She'd swallowed everyone, believed everyone, and now he stood here. After betraying her,
12:07after sterilizing her, after giving another woman their rings, and had the nerve to say them again,
12:11in front of everyone. Whitney, clearly stung by York's words, couldn't hold herself back.
12:18I 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.
12:27She turned and ran. Down the stairs. Out the door. No looking back. York's voice cracked as he
12:31screamed her name. Whitney. He frantically ran after her. Scarlett stood frozen,
12:36watching as York chased after Whitney. A black SUV screamed around the corner.
12:41Brakes screeched too late. The impact was deafening. Whitney's body flew,
12:45white dress flaring like wings. Then slammed onto the asphalt. Scarlett stepped to the road,
12:49standing there as York screamed in agony. Whitney, no. York rushed to her, cradling her in his arms.
12:55Trembling uncontrollably, Whitney, in her last moments, turned her body to protect York from the
13:00impact. Taking the brunt of the car's second hit, blood poured out onto the street. Whitney,
13:04still coughing up blood, gasped. The baby. York. Save our baby. York's eyes met Scarlett's,
13:10filled with unbearable pain. Scarlett. I told you. There's nothing between us. It was just the ad.
13:16Why won't you believe me? Why did you have to do this? In that moment, Scarlett saw hatred in York's
13:21eyes. He could also hear the voices around them. Mason spoke up, his tone harsh. Scarlett,
13:26York really loves you. He sent Whitney away for seven years. Married her only because his grandpa
13:31forced it. Others timed in. Scarlett, you're being too cruel. Whitney never asked for anything.
13:38She's carried his kid quietly. How can you take everything from her? All those friends who once
13:42called Scarlett and York the perfect couple. Destined for each other. Now stood like self-righteous
13:47judges. Arms crossed. Eyes hard. They blamed her for York's seven years of deceit. Yet somehow it
13:53was still her fault. Whitney had been sent to the hospital. Scarlett followed close behind.
13:58Whitney had bled heavily. The baby couldn't be saved. And her uterus had been removed due to
14:02excessive blood loss. York was devastated. Whitney. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have mistaken
14:08everything you quietly did for me. Thinking it was Scarlett's doing. I love the wrong person.
14:13I always thought it was her. Scarlett was stunned by his words. So everything Whitney
14:17did for York, York thought it was her? A bitter smile crept onto Scarlett's face.
14:21She had done so much for him too, from the moment she was a child. She had silently been his
14:26blood bank.
14:27Since she was five, she knew York had a platelet deficiency and needed regular blood transfusions.
14:31She was terrified he might die. She had given him her blood all these years. And she had always
14:39gotten sick while York grew stronger. Later, in middle school, her parents tried to take her away.
14:44Worried she was giving her life away for York. York had thought it was because he knelt for seven days
14:48that they allowed her to stay. But in reality, it was Scarlett who had threatened to die. Now hearing
14:53York express his regrets about loving her, Scarlett realized something. He regretted it too. Had she
14:58known their love would end up like this, she would have never allowed it to start.
15:02Scarlett turned toward the elevator. But just a few steps away, York collapsed to the floor.
15:06This time, she chose not to save him. The silence of the night was suffocating.
15:10Scarlett sat alone in the villa. Yet the chaos on her social media was anything but quiet.
15:15Everyone she knew was reposting a video. In the video, the bride's face was hidden,
15:19but the groom was placing a ring on her finger. The caption read,
15:22Mr. Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster's seventh wedding anniversary.
15:25Scarlett's lips twisted into a mocking smile. Seven years, the same seven years York and
15:30Whitney had been together. Her phone rang. York's grandpa. She answered it.
15:34Scarlett, 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.
15:49You understand now, huh? Scarlett sneered. Thanks to you. Now I don't even have to divorce him.
15:54If he dies tonight, maybe 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
16:09York. 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 had
16:29bought for her when she cried as a child. She moved everything to the yard and set it all on
16:33fire.
16:33Her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number and the message read. I never knew he loved me this
16:38much. The kind of love that makes a man give up everything, even his own life. Scarlett replied with
16:44one line. Whitney, congrats, you just took out my trash. Three hours later, Scarlett received a
16:51message that York had woken up. She knew the Lancaster Private Hospital. Still kept five bags
16:56of her blood on standby. 27 years of regular donations, just in case York ever needed it.
17:01Last night he'd been bleeding out. Those five bags were probably gone. She looked at the ashes. 27 years
17:07of her life. Reduced to a few hours of clean-up. Done. The front door burst open. Two of York's
17:12bodyguards stormed in, no words. Just grabbed her arms and dragged her out. She was forcibly taken to
17:18the hospital. When she pushed open the door to the hospital room, there York was holding Whitney in
17:23his arms. York's eyes were full of rage. Scarlett, how dare you bribe the doctor to kill Whitney's
17:28baby? How dare you make them rip out her uterus? Scarlett froze. She heard the doctor speak.
17:33Mr. Lancaster, Miss Hayes threatened me. Said if I didn't remove Mrs. Lancaster's uterus,
17:38my whole family would be run out of New York. York let go of Whitney and walked towards Scarlett,
17:43his anger palpable. For the first time, York grabbed her by the neck. How could you use money
17:48and power to destroy her? When did you turn into this monster? As York's words hit her,
17:53Scarlett looked at him with tears in her eyes. But there was no trace of the love he once had
17:57for
17:58her, only anger and disgust. Scarlett smiled bitterly and said,
18:02York, it's just a uterus, if I want, I'll buy her life. Without warning, York slapped
18:07her across the face, the force knocking her to the ground. York's voice was cold,
18:11almost 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 baby.
18:25Now 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
18:34anesthetic and injected it into her arm. Within seconds, Scarlett's vision blurred, and she
18:39drifted into unconsciousness. In her fading consciousness, she heard York's voice again,
18:44holding Whitney in his arms. Baby, don't cry. It kills me when you cry.
18:48Through the fog, she could hear York and the doctor's conversation clearly. Mr. Lancaster,
18:53Ms. Hayes already had a uterine scrape recently. Is removing her uterus really necessary?
18:58York's voice was low with doubt as he asked. A uterine scrape? The doctor quickly explained.
19:03A uterine scrape might be necessary if there are conditions like fibroids.
19:07York's voice grew colder. Remove Scarlett's uterus and show it to Whitney.
19:11She's been crying nonstop. Do the surgery now. The doctor hesitated.
19:15Mr. Lancaster, we have to wait at least an hour after the anesthesia wears off.
19:20York's impatience flared. Scarlett's already unconscious. Do it immediately.
19:24A single tear rolled down Scarlett's cheek. Her uterus was taken.
19:28All to stop Whitney from crying. Scarlett 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. His voice cold and accusing.
19:40You nearly bled out. Whitney was the one who gave you blood.
19:43Scarlett, you owe her now. Do you understand?
19:46Whitney standing by and peeling an orange shyly added.
19:49York, please. I'm not looking for thanks from Miss Scarlett, but half my blood is inside her now.
19:54If saving her life means giving every last drop of mine, I'd do it, even if it killed me.
20:00Her words were so sweet so selfless but York responded with an icy tone.
20:04Scarlett, 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.
20:11She silently endured the pain and sat up in bed.
20:14Whitney, who had been quietly watching them, suddenly spoke, her voice trembling with emotion.
20:20York, I don't want anything. I 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.
20:34You should be on your knees thanking her.
20:36Your grandfather's dead. You'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.
21:02And the shares York had 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, I'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.
21:25Where a large screen was broadcasting 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, her phone rang.
21:38And 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.
21:47Whitney'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.
22:15He 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.
22:24And now it would all end.
22:25She hung up.
22:26Scarlett found a quiet cafe.
22:27She dialed her lawyer.
22:28Scarlett didn't need their gratitude, nor their fake kindness.
22:31But those she had helped stood against her now.
22:34Hurting her instead.
22:34She 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.
22:47Third, 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.
23:00Scarlett's grandfather had known all along.
23:03And the Blackwood family.
23:04York's good friend Hugo.
23:05Had 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.
23:19But 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.
23:28York won't climb out of the grave I dig for him.
23:31Without 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.
23:44From 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.
23:55Had 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,
24:06stored in Lancaster Hospital, he would have 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.
24:19Because every time he received a blood transfusion, Scarlett was always the one lying on the bed next
24:24to 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.
24:38But 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?
25:10I'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.
26:00Gifts 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.
26:07Mr. Lancaster, Scarlett left for White 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.
26:50York 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.
27:00Sean sent through images.
27:02York stared at the photos.
27:03Each one of Scarlett when they were younger.
27:05He was unconscious, injured and she was sitting beside him, giving 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, 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.
27:44York'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.
27:51She collapsed to the floor.
27:52York, please let me explain.
27:54Charles remained calm.
27:56York, there's nothing to explain.
27:58Whitney is mine.
27:58York's gaze hardened.
28:00So you used her before I even married her?
28:02Whitney clutched York's leg.
28:03York, I was forced.
28:04Charles told me.
28:05If I served him, the 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, she's just a woman.
28:18You want her.
28:19Fine, take her.
28:20Whitney screamed.
28:21No.
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, it 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, 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 rundown 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.
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.
29:23But 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.
29:45Ask 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.
30:08Whitney, 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.
30:19York arrived at the hospital and found Ryan.
30:22Ryan handed him a record.
30:23Scarlett's pregnancy, one and a half months, twins.
30:27York's heart shattered.
30:28He staggered backward.
30:29Scarlett really.
30:30She's carrying my children.
30:32She 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, Scarlett 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.
31:07Scarlett.
31:07York had even taken away Whitney's ability to have children.
31:10But what he never realized was that Scarlett's fragile womb had once carried his two children.
31:14For years, Scarlett 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.
31:25Scarlett 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.
31:37With 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, they tumbled off a cliff.
31:55York felt like his chest had been ripped open.
31:58All these years, he had been torn.
32:02And now the truth was in front of him.
32:06His 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 Scarlett?
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 Scarlett.
32:29Now those shares have been fully acquired by the Barrett family.
32:32You personally sold Lancaster.
32:34Grandpa Lancaster spat out blood.
32:35What did you say?
32:37York's smile grew more pronounced.
32:38Scarlett has been in control of Lancaster's stock for all these years.
32:42Grandpa's anger flared.
32:43You bastard.
32:44I should've killed Scarlett 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.
32:57Scarlett received a call.
32:59Tears filled her eyes.
33:00My grandfather didn't die from my illness.
33:02He was murdered.
33:03Two days later, Scarlett 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.
33:20Scarlett, I'm sorry, our child.
33:21But Scarlett 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.
33:32Scarlett 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, Scarlett saw billboards flashing the same words.
33:43Scarlett, 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.
33:51Scarlett 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.
34:00Scarlett 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.
34:15Scarlett 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.
34:23Sean suggested they leave through the rooftop helicopter platform.
34:27Scarlett 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.
34:38Scarlett answered.
34:39York's angry voice came through.
34:41Sean, give Scarlett back to me.
34:43Scarlett's voice was calm.
34:44York.
34:45The silence from York was followed by a choking sound.
34:48Scarlett, meet me.
34:49I've divorced Whitney.
34:50It was her and Grandpa who deceived me.
34:52Tears welled in Scarlett's eyes.
34:54York, I don't care, let's part ways.
34:56Any explanation from you is meaningless.
34:59Scarlett, I love you.
35:00Scarlett 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.
35:12Scarlett's fingers pulled up her sleeve.
35:15Though 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.
35:30Scarlett'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 Scarlett'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 Scarlett 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.
36:13Scarlett had always loved him in her own way.
36:15York bought the bridal shop.
36:17Whitney had always known it was Scarlett's.
36:19She had brought him there, praising its frugality.
36:22But in the end she had destroyed Scarlett completely.
36:25York had searched for Scarlett 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 Scarlett had been in New York all along.
36:40His plane arrived back the next day.
36:41He headed straight to Barrett Group.
36:43The first person he saw was Scarlett.
36:46He rushed over, pulling her into a tight embrace.
36:48Scarlett, 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.
37:05Scarlett handed him a card.
37:06This is 30 billion.
37:08It's the money from your shares.
37:09Now we're even.
37:11York's face turned pale.
37:12Scarlett, I beg you, marry me again.
37:15But what York received was a marriage certificate with Scarlett and Sean's names.
37:18York coughed up blood.
37:20Scarlett, I never meant to hurt you.
37:22Scarlett'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.
37:30Scarlett withdrew her hand and walked toward Sean.
37:33York watched as Scarlett was embraced by Sean.
37:35His eyes burned.
37:36Scarlett, 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.
37:47Then they saw the very first letter dated 17 years ago.
37:51Scarlett's eyes filled with shock.
37:52This is a love letter I never had the courage to send.
37:55Scarlett, I think I've fallen for you.
37:57Scarlett 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.
38:11Scarlett's hand trembled.
38:12Sean looked at her.
38:13Scarlett, I'll handle this.
38:15Scarlett 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.
38:26Scarlett 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.
38:34Scarlett, I can't live without you.
38:36Scarlett smiled through her tears.
38:38I felt the same way when I saw you kiss Whitney.
38:40York's voice was desperate.
38:42Scarlett, forgive me.
38:43Scarlett 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, Scarlett walked away.
38:57York rushed to the restaurant.
38:59The manager handed him a frozen box.
39:01This is the gift Miss Scarlett said to give you.
39:03York's trembling hands opened the box.
39:06Inside was a bloodied mess.
39:07Two tiny unrecognizable figures.
39:10York's heart shattered as he cried out in agony.
39:12In that moment he finally understood why Scarlett could never forgive him.
39:16Back at the wedding.
39:17Sean took Scarlett's hand.
39:19The wedding was a spectacle.
39:20On their wedding night.
39:22Scarlett received the news that York had donated the 30 billion to a children's foundation.
39:26She glanced at Sean.
39:27Then she kissed his brow.
39:30Husband.
39:30At the sound of that word.
39:32Sean kissed her lips.
39:33Scarlett, no matter how York refuses to let go.
39:36I will never let go of your hand.
39:38Scarlett smiled.
39:39I'll learn to love you.
39:40That night.
39:41York jumped from the original Lancaster building.
39:43The next day, the city was filled with news of his suicide.
39:47Scarlett 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 Scarlett'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.
40:04Scarlett, you're a red rose.
40:06Fragile yet prickly.
40:07Only I can take care of you.
40:08Scarlett looked at the rose Sean had placed this morning.
40:11Her tears fell like rain.
