20:21Mais, Clara, je vais te faire retourner.
20:36Le jour où j'ai été déchargé, la soleil était brillante.
20:40Donc brillante que pour un moment j'ai l'impression que je n'étais pas juste à la maison de
20:43l'hôpital,
20:44mais à l'aideré d'un rêve d'une absurde.
20:48J'ai déjà contacté l'hôpital et m'adresse à m'adresse de me rentrer,
20:52un apartment d'un Huy-Ridge dentaire, la plus d'un 10 minutes de l'hôpital.
20:56J'ai besoin d'un endroit endroit près,
20:59pour filer documents à l'heure de toute façon.
21:01Grants biotech CEO's family drama,
21:05Mysterious widow suspected third-party,
21:07Evelyn Shaw posts long statement,
21:09I only seek a mother's identity.
21:11Evelyn's tear-streaked photos were shared repeatedly,
21:13Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
21:44...but I won't.
21:48Can we talk?
21:50Come in.
21:52Clara, you're a smart girl.
21:54You know clearly that if this divorce goes to court,
21:57it won't be good for you, for the company, or for Alex.
22:01Not good, but there will be a conclusion.
22:06A woman's life shouldn't only be about winning and losing.
22:11Then what should it be about? Tolerance?
22:15The child Evelyn is carrying, it's Grant family blood.
22:18By choosing to fight this divorce now, you're not just ending the marriage.
22:22You're cutting off this family's legacy.
22:24Ma'am, I'm not destroying this family.
22:26I'm simply refusing to continue being sacrificed as background.
22:29You're a lawyer. You should understand the need to weigh options.
22:33I do better than anyone.
22:36Which is exactly why I know that any marriage, at its core, is just a contract.
22:41And when a contract fails, it should be terminated.
22:46You'll never know who you're up against.
22:48Is that so?
22:51We will see.
23:05That night, my phone lit up.
23:08It was Alexander.
23:10Why did you have to make the divorce public?
23:12You knew perfectly well the media would run with it.
23:14Now they're all smearing you.
23:15I know.
23:16But I also know that only in sunlight do bacteria die.
23:19Clara, I'm begging you.
23:21Don't leave me.
23:23We can start over, can't we?
23:27You still haven't signed.
23:29I won't sign.
23:31Then I'll have the judge sign for you.
23:34That night, I didn't sleep.
23:36I stayed up late to finish writing my divorce petition.
23:41This was the most personal complaint of my legal career.
23:46And my declaration of freedom.
23:50Next time in court, I won't be Alexander's wife.
23:54Only his opponent.
23:57Clara, I just want to talk.
24:00Talk about what?
24:01Child support, reputation, or the new script you want to perform in the media.
24:06Don't be like this.
24:07I didn't come to fight over anything.
24:11I just want you to know that this child isn't the result of artificial insemination.
24:23What do you mean?
24:24He's Alexander's child.
24:26That day in the lab, he'd been drinking, was in a bad mood.
24:29I was just comforting him.
24:30Didn't expect.
24:31He only found out later that we actually slept together.
24:39Do you understand?
24:41He chose me, not you.
24:44No matter how rational, how strong you are,
24:49you can't keep him.
24:55I don't need this trash.
24:58I mean, Alexander.
25:04Actually, after that day, Alexander felt a bit guilty.
25:08I told him it was fate.
25:09Ethan was gone.
25:10The child was like a gift he left me.
25:12And you?
25:14You're too cold, Clara.
25:16Men don't like living with legal documents.
25:18They want tenderness.
25:19Tenderness, Evelyn.
25:21In your eyes, is betrayal also a form of tenderness?
25:30Clara, you should let yourself go.
25:32Stop fighting.
25:33It's meaningless.
25:34You're right.
25:35It's meaningless.
25:39But thank you for every word you said today.
25:41They all have excellent evidential value.
25:45What do you mean?
25:47Professional habit.
25:48All conversations are recorded for documentation.
25:52You can't.
25:53That's invasion of privacy.
25:55Give me the phone.
25:56You voluntarily stated facts,
25:58and I'm simply preserving the truth.
26:01You're crazy.
26:05Maybe.
26:06But crazy people are often better at surviving than victims.
26:10Late that night,
26:11I simply anonymously sent the recording
26:13to an independent journalist
26:14known for exposing the false faces of the elite.
26:18The next morning,
26:19the internet no-wunter brought a wide.
26:22Mr. Alexander,
26:23Mrs. Evelyn alleges that she conceived a child
26:25following an intimate relationship with you.
26:27Can you confirm or deny this claim?
26:29In the morning,
26:30Grant Biomyological stock price dropped 14% within an hour.
26:34As the company's CEO,
26:36what are your thoughts?
26:41I'm sorry.
26:47It was you, wasn't it?
26:52You wanted the truth, didn't you?
26:54I helped you make it public.
26:58Clara, you ruined me!
26:59Wrong.
27:00I only let the world see what you and she really are.
27:03I never meant to hurt you.
27:05I thought it was just a mistake.
27:07A mistake.
27:08No, that was the only time
27:09you were honest in your choice.
27:12Alexander,
27:12starting tomorrow,
27:13we'll see each other in court.
27:15Remember to bring your lawyer.
27:20Three days after the recording incident,
27:23the news was still fermenting.
27:25Alexander was temporarily suspended investigation.
27:30Investors demanded he temporarily step back.
27:33Evelyn's PR team worked through the night
27:36deleting posts and controlling damage,
27:38but the recording had already spread everywhere.
27:41Her image instantly collapsed
27:43from kind widow to textbook mistress.
27:46Media captured her losing emotional control
27:49and smashing a car,
27:50then being pulled into an ambulance
27:52and rushed to the hospital.
27:56That same night,
27:57she miscarried it.
28:02When I saw the news,
28:03I was silent for a while.
28:06Not gloating,
28:07no pity either.
28:09All of it was no longer related to me.
28:12Does the defendant consent to the divorce?
28:23I consent.
28:28Clara.
28:31I signed.
28:34I know.
28:36But I haven't let go.
28:39Whether you let go or not is your business.
28:42What about you?
28:44I'm free.
28:50Several months later,
28:51I moved to a small coastal city.
28:53I handed off the firm's cases to my partner
28:56and took on international arbitration projects.
29:00My new life was clean, quiet,
29:02like a contract without footnotes.
29:05I was no longer anyone's wife,
29:07nor anyone's enemy.
29:09I was just Clara Grant,
29:11a woman starting her life over.
29:14That evening,
29:15I updated my Instagram for the first time in ages.
29:19The wind carries away the sound of the tide
29:21and everything from the past.
29:25The first person to like it was my father.
29:32The second was a stranger's account
29:34with just one letter for a name,
29:36A.
29:37I didn't click on it
29:38and didn't block it either.
29:41Outside the window,
29:43the sound of waves rose and fell,
29:45like a long trial
29:46finally reaching its conclusion.
