00:00:01My name is Rachel Brown. Married for two years, I thought I was the wife of the Spencer Group CEO.
00:00:09Today, I learn it is all a lie.
00:00:1230 minutes ago, I went to the bank to transfer money for the Spencer Group, wanting to surprise my husband.
00:00:23What? The clerk actually told me that my marriage certificate is fake, and his legal wife has always been his
00:00:31best friend, Millie Clark.
00:00:42Back at home, I stand outside the bedroom door, peering through the gap.
00:00:47My husband, Xander Spencer, is shirtless, lounging against the headboard.
00:00:52His best friend, Millie Clark, is straddling his lap.
00:00:56You are incredible tonight, sweetheart.
00:01:00Two whole years, and Rachel still hasn't shared a bed with you and got a taste of all this.
00:01:06I almost feel bad for her.
00:01:08Forget about her, sweetheart.
00:01:09I watch Xander hold Millie's waist with hand.
00:01:14Millie's shameless moans and the sound of bodies carousing pierce my eardrums.
00:01:19But I don't cry.
00:01:21I take out my phone and start recording.
00:01:25I save the video and quietly turn to leave.
00:01:28This marriage began with a lie.
00:01:30I'll send them to hell as the ending.
00:01:33The Shaw family is about to make its move.
00:01:35My eldest brother, Reed Shaw, the first son of the Shaw family, heir to Onealim's richest dynasty.
00:01:41They only found me a month ago.
00:01:43I was never an orphan.
00:01:44I'm the Shaw family's long lost daughter.
00:01:46The call connects.
00:01:48My brother's voice is deep and warm.
00:01:50Ray, the banquet is ready.
00:01:52Mom and dad have prepared $2 billion deals for the Spencer group.
00:01:55Since you refused to come back to Onealim's, at least a thriving Spencer group will make your life easier.
00:02:01Reed, I don't want those projects anymore.
00:02:05The banquet will still go on.
00:02:07But instead of propping them up, I want them destroyed.
00:02:11Ray, did that bastard Xander hurt you?
00:02:13Tell me.
00:02:14I'll deal with him.
00:02:17There's nothing but concern in my brother's voice.
00:02:20Growing up, no one ever protected me like this.
00:02:26No need.
00:02:27Some things, I need to handle myself.
00:02:30I'm relieved you finally see clearly.
00:02:32Xander was never worthy of you.
00:02:33Reed has never met Xander, yet he sees right through him.
00:02:37It takes me five years.
00:02:39How foolish I was.
00:02:41Oh, and Ray, you were betrothed when you were young.
00:02:45The man will be arriving in Mophia soon.
00:02:48I'll arrange for you to meet him.
00:02:49You can move on without any burden.
00:02:51He's far superior to Xander.
00:02:56Reed, I'm not interested in a new relationship right now.
00:03:01I won't meet him.
00:03:03I hang up and sit in the living room for a long time.
00:03:07Finally, footsteps echo down the stairs, accompanied by flirtatious laughter between a man and a woman.
00:03:19Millie is clinging to Xander, clothes messy, marks on her neck.
00:03:24They come down the stairs together.
00:03:31Rachel, you're back.
00:03:33I got my clothes stained.
00:03:35Xander, let me use the master bedroom to clean up.
00:03:39You don't mind, do you?
00:03:40Of course I won't mind.
00:03:44But even if you are an illusory child, barging into a married couple's bedroom like this,
00:03:52others might assume you have a thing for married men.
00:03:57Don't throw a tantrum before grasping the full picture.
00:04:00The Spencer group is in trouble.
00:04:06Millie used her ties to the Shaw family to get us invited to the banquet.
00:04:11Oh, dear.
00:04:13The bank called about our marriage certificate.
00:04:15They want us to verify.
00:04:17When are you free?
00:04:22I'll have my assistant handle it.
00:04:25Banking procedures are complicated, not something a housewife would understand.
00:04:34Emergency at work. Don't wait up.
00:04:40Xander, we're over.
00:04:42I'll take everything from you.
00:04:45I go to Xander's study.
00:04:4816 perfume formulas, and I never took a cent.
00:04:51But the share transfer contract is real.
00:04:54I find it.
00:04:58I've just hidden it behind my back when I run into Xander.
00:05:06He's coming up the stairs.
00:05:09You were in my study?
00:05:12I left a gift for you.
00:05:15In seven days, it's our fifth anniversary.
00:05:19He thinks I'm making amends.
00:05:22If he cared, he'd know our anniversary is today.
00:05:25But in seven days, I do have a surprise for him.
00:05:29That night, after my shower, I put on a silk slip nightgown.
00:05:35Xander comes in and wraps his arms around me.
00:05:39I'm staying with you tonight.
00:05:42Honey, doesn't Millie hate my perfume?
00:05:47If she smells it on you and gets mad, what about the Spencer group?
00:05:51The fire in his eyes goes out.
00:05:55He lets me go and leaves.
00:05:59Water runs in the guest bathroom.
00:06:03He'd rather take a cold shower than be with me.
00:06:06The next morning, after Xander leaves, I donate every plain dress in my closet.
00:06:13My phone rings.
00:06:15An email from master perfumer Philip Barnes.
00:06:18Mr. Barnes is in Amletto.
00:06:20He asks me to contact someone.
00:06:22The person hangs up and sends me a coffee house address.
00:06:25I keep my makeup light and drive over.
00:06:35I knock on the booth door and look up into cold, menacing eyes.
00:06:40Kellen Xander's worst rival.
00:06:44You rejected me three times to marry Xander.
00:06:48Now you're back?
00:06:49Done with him?
00:06:52I've decided to end things with Xander.
00:06:54Whatever conflicts you have with him no longer involve me.
00:06:57You're divorcing Xander?
00:06:59I catch the glint of satisfaction in his eyes.
00:07:03So much for him being cold and different.
00:07:07If you distrust me, then this meeting is over.
00:07:10Goodbye.
00:07:12I stand to leave.
00:07:18My knee hits the table and I stumble into Kellen's chest.
00:07:22My sleeve button snags and tears his jacket pocket.
00:07:25My face flushes.
00:07:26Just as I start to explain, a sharp voice cuts through.
00:07:31Rachel?
00:07:32Is that you?
00:07:33What are you doing with a man?
00:07:35Wait, isn't that Mr. Mitchell?
00:07:37Xander's mother Jade and Millie are standing nearby.
00:07:42Jade and Millie are arm in arm like a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
00:07:46Which they are, on paper.
00:07:53Clinging to another man in public?
00:07:55You've embarrassed our whole family!
00:07:58Rachel, you're not still upset about yesterday and trying to get revenge, are you?
00:08:03He video called me for over an hour last night.
00:08:08I glance at Kylan.
00:08:10He's standing with his arms crossed, enjoying the show.
00:08:13I came to buy Xander's favorite coffee and accidentally bumped into Mr. Mitchell.
00:08:17I didn't go take a shower with him.
00:08:19And honestly, Xander was exhausted last night.
00:08:22His stamina is impressive.
00:08:23Married for years and still childless.
00:08:26Have you finished this quarter's perfume formula?
00:08:30Shouldn't this go to Millie, the one who's supposed to stand beside Xander?
00:08:34Or is the much-praised Clark family daughter actually useless?
00:08:39Both their faces turn dark.
00:08:43I walk off.
00:08:49Behind me, Kylan's voice rings out.
00:08:51Well, that was quite the show.
00:08:54I get my bag and slip out the back.
00:08:57But in the parking lot, a hand grabs me.
00:09:01It's Kylan again.
00:09:07Miss Brown, you tore my clothes and never paid me back?
00:09:10And now you're just going to leave?
00:09:13I'm sorry.
00:09:14How much? I'll pay.
00:09:16I don't want money.
00:09:19I want a replacement.
00:09:20No tag, custom made.
00:09:22Where am I supposed to find an exact match?
00:09:29I'll get you another just like it.
00:09:32Don't try something off the rack.
00:09:34I'm very particular.
00:09:36I clench my jaw and walk away.
00:09:46By my car, I see Xander anxiously explaining something.
00:09:50She said it to my face.
00:09:52And you're still denying it?
00:09:55I laugh coldly and walk straight up to them.
00:10:00Honey, I told you my perfume would stick.
00:10:06See?
00:10:08Miss Clark smells it.
00:10:13Next time, shower more times after we're done.
00:10:16I get in my car and speed away.
00:10:26Back home, I keep packing.
00:10:31At the storage room entrance, Xander stands there with a grim face.
00:10:40You ran into Callan.
00:10:43I've told you.
00:10:44He'll drag the Spencer group down.
00:10:50You even talk back to mom.
00:10:52If you can't match Millie's insight, at least learn from her.
00:10:59Xander, why do you always defend Millie?
00:11:02Even your mother takes her side.
00:11:05Anyone would think you two are the real married couple.
00:11:11What nonsense are you talking?!
00:11:14If you keep siding with outsiders, I might as well go to the city hall and ask who your real
00:11:20wife is!
00:11:22Hmph.
00:11:23Xander throws out a few impatient words and rushes off.
00:11:26I kick the trash bag.
00:11:30Everything I once treasured shatters.
00:11:38My phone rings.
00:11:40It's Mooney Stevens, the lawyer I consulted.
00:11:44Miss Brown, we can pursue marriage fraud.
00:11:47But the contract has three months left.
00:11:52Now isn't the best time.
00:11:54Three months.
00:11:56Fine.
00:11:58We'll file then.
00:12:03In the meantime, I have a lot to do.
00:12:07My phone buzzes again.
00:12:10Millie texts.
00:12:11Xander drank too much, I'm taking him to my place.
00:12:15She attaches photos, her on his lap.
00:12:20Sharing chocolate.
00:12:21I save them without hesitation and send them to my lawyer.
00:12:32I leave the villa without looking back.
00:12:38Outside, my brother's car is waiting to take me to Riverside Haven.
00:12:48The next evening, Xander comes home and finds me gone.
00:12:53He calls.
00:12:54Rachel, where are you?
00:12:56Still angry?
00:12:57I promise I'll spend time with you after this busy period.
00:13:03Your mother says I'm useless and can't bear children.
00:13:06She says the Spencer group doesn't need me.
00:13:08So why should I go back?
00:13:15If you insist on causing trouble, then go ahead.
00:13:29I hang up and laugh coldly.
00:13:32The next day, Saturday, I go to my adoptive parents' place.
00:13:36The moment I open the door, a cup flies at my head.
00:13:40You ungrateful girl, you still dare come back?
00:13:43You think marrying Xander makes you a queen?
00:13:47Since Joe's EA was diagnosed, I've given you over a million.
00:13:51I've repaid whatever I owed.
00:13:55Meadow lunges to slap me.
00:13:57I catch her wrist.
00:13:59I'm your mother!
00:14:01Are you going to hit me?!
00:14:05Don't ever try to touch me again.
00:14:09I pull photos from my bag and throw them on the table.
00:14:12Joe's EA drinking at bars.
00:14:14He was never sick.
00:14:16This time, you need money because Kendall runs up gambling debts again.
00:14:20Right?
00:14:21I'm divorcing Xander.
00:14:22Your gambling debts are your own problem.
00:14:27Divorce?!
00:14:29Have you lost your mind?!
00:14:30If you divorce, you're no daughter of mine!
00:14:36Fine.
00:14:37Then we go our separate ways.
00:14:39Five million!
00:14:41Give us five million, and we'll never bother you again!
00:14:51Five million.
00:14:54The nerve.
00:14:55I draft a statement cutting all ties on the spot.
00:14:59And sign it.
00:15:07Meadow signs two.
00:15:09Five million for permanent freedom.
00:15:11It's worth it.
00:15:14After signing the severance agreement, I leave my adoptive parents' place.
00:15:20Xander is standing there with supplements?
00:15:22Rachel, why didn't you tell me you were coming?
00:15:25Still upset with me?
00:15:26I glance at Meadow.
00:15:28She remembers the five million, and keeps her mouth shut.
00:15:32Xander, this is your fault.
00:15:34Rachel is sensitive.
00:15:36Now that you're married, you should keep your distance from other women.
00:15:39I don't want to see you right now.
00:15:40Just leave.
00:15:41Xander is sculled and slinks away.
00:15:44But he doesn't leave the neighborhood.
00:15:46He waits for me downstairs.
00:15:48Rachel, I know I was wrong.
00:15:50I'll keep my distance from Millie.
00:15:52After things settle, I'll take you on our honeymoon.
00:15:55Unless you cut her off completely, I'm not coming back.
00:15:59And the shares you promised for my perfume formulas, when will I get them?
00:16:04Didn't we agree those would be joint marital assets?
00:16:07Transfer me the equivalent shares.
00:16:09Otherwise people will think you've been mooching off me.
00:16:16Are you serious?
00:16:18I take a taxi and leave.
00:16:20In the mirror, Xander stamps his foot in frustration.
00:16:30The next day, I go to Bexley's fashion design studio.
00:16:34She's my best friend from college.
00:16:38Rachel, fancy seeing you here. Back to making clothes for your mother-in-law?
00:16:47Bexley, I'm divorcing Xander.
00:16:52Divorce? What happened?
00:17:00I tell her about Xander and Millie.
00:17:04Xander is disgusting.
00:17:06I'm going to confront him right now.
00:17:10No need.
00:17:11I'm already handling it.
00:17:13When the contract expires in three months, I'll file for divorce.
00:17:23Then why are you here today?
00:17:29I accidentally damaged someone's jacket.
00:17:32Can I use your studio for a few days?
00:17:34Whose jacket?
00:17:35Not Xander's, I hope.
00:17:39I'm not going to do anything for him.
00:17:42Kellen Mitchell's.
00:17:44Kailung Mitchell?
00:17:45The Crescent Group CEO?
00:17:47How do you know him?
00:17:50Before I can answer, the door pushes open.
00:17:53Kellen walks in.
00:17:59Miss Brown, is that the jacket you promised to make?
00:18:03He's looking at the half-finished jacket on my work table.
00:18:06I'm doomed.
00:18:08I've been working out.
00:18:09My measurements might have changed.
00:18:12Measure me again, Miss Brown.
00:18:14No need.
00:18:16I remember them.
00:18:17Bexley makes an excuse about the warehouse and leaves us alone.
00:18:25Miss Brown?
00:18:26Are you feeling shy?
00:18:29Not at all.
00:18:34I grab the tape and start measuring him.
00:18:38He stands close, his breath on my face.
00:18:44My build is better than Xander's, right?
00:18:48Just average.
00:18:55I shake the fabric on purpose.
00:19:00Dust flies.
00:19:02Kellen sneezes several times.
00:19:09You did that on purpose?
00:19:12Oh, Mr. Mitchell?
00:19:14Are you allergic to dust?
00:19:17Maybe you should go rest.
00:19:19He glares at me and leaves.
00:19:22I feel secretly satisfied.
00:19:30Are you two... done?
00:19:33There's nothing to end.
00:19:34We never started anything.
00:19:36Rachel!
00:19:37Kellen is a real catch.
00:19:38If you married him, Xander would lose his mind.
00:19:44I just got out of one marriage.
00:19:46I don't want to rush into another.
00:19:47That night, Bexley drags me to a bar.
00:19:50I like it!
00:19:54It's rare we get together.
00:19:55Let's relax.
00:19:56I'm wearing a white blouse and leather skirt.
00:20:01A man walks over with a drink.
00:20:04Hey, can I buy you a drink?
00:20:08Sorry, I don't drink what others hand me.
00:20:13My apologies.
00:20:14He won't give up.
00:20:16He steps closer.
00:20:18Isn't drinking about having fun?
00:20:20You two look bored.
00:20:23Why not join our table?
00:20:24I lose my patience.
00:20:26I grab the glass and throw it in his face.
00:20:30You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.
00:20:34Do you know who I am?
00:20:37He raises his fist to hit me.
00:20:40Suddenly, a hand catches his.
00:20:44Has the Quimby family forgotten their place lately?
00:20:47Kellen stands in front of me.
00:20:50Bernard recognizes him and slinks away.
00:20:55In the corner, Xander watches everything.
00:21:01Xander walks over and stands in front of me.
00:21:06Mr. Mitchell, Rachel can't drink.
00:21:08I'll take this for her.
00:21:12I don't need you.
00:21:18Your best friend is sitting alone over there.
00:21:21Aren't you afraid something will happen to her?
00:21:24Millie is sitting in the corner, her face dark.
00:21:27Millie and I have known each other for years.
00:21:29We're just friends.
00:21:31You say you're just friends, but I saw her leaning on you.
00:21:37Th-that's not true.
00:21:43If you want the truth, we can check the security footage.
00:21:49I've decided to partner with the Crescent Group instead.
00:21:56Rachel, you can be angry, but business is not something to play with.
00:22:00Who's playing? You haven't given me anything you promised.
00:22:08At least with Crescent, I'll get paid.
00:22:11Millie comes over and pretends she and Xander are just friends.
00:22:19It makes me sick.
00:22:24Millie, do you enjoy taking what belongs to someone else?
00:22:33To calm me down, Xander sends Millie away.
00:22:38He begs me to come home.
00:22:42Rachel, please.
00:22:46Fine. Since you're being sincere.
00:22:49I'm tired. Let's go home.
00:22:52I take his hand.
00:22:54Baxley looks confused.
00:22:56I wink at her.
00:22:58Back home, I pull away from Xander's arm around my waist.
00:23:03Don't you get carsick? Why not sit up front?
00:23:06Your best friend left a lot of her things in the passenger seat.
00:23:10I don't like competing for space.
00:23:13Xander awkwardly picks up Millie's lipstick.
00:23:17Rachel, when will you give me the new perfume formula? Production is asking.
00:23:21Smell this. It's my new formula.
00:23:23I take the sample. He smells it. His eyes light up.
00:23:27This scent is amazing. It's gonna sell like crazy.
00:23:30I'm not completely happy with it yet. It needs adjustments.
00:23:34But I'm running out of money.
00:23:37I'll cover your material costs.
00:23:41Let me transfer you 200,000 first.
00:23:46Give me company access so I can get money directly from finance.
00:23:53You've thought of everything.
00:23:56I take out the prepared documents and have him sign. He doesn't read a word, including the one my lawyer
00:24:03slipped in.
00:24:09After signing, Xander tries to get close to me.
00:24:11Rachel, you look beautiful.
00:24:14I've neglected you. Let me make it up to you tonight.
00:24:17Aren't you afraid Millie will find out?
00:24:19Isn't she helping you with the Shaw family project?
00:24:21We're just friends. She's a total tomboy. Not attractive at all.
00:24:24Listening to him put down Millie just to please me, I laugh coldly inside.
00:24:29And I have no interest in her.
00:24:30Wait. Look at this.
00:24:32This is all the money you've spent on Millie over two years.
00:24:35If it's joint property, it's inappropriate and you're cutting her off, you should get this money back.
00:24:43That amount is just pocket money for families like ours.
00:24:48Asking for it back is like stepping on my pride.
00:24:52If you won't do that, then give me the same amount.
00:24:56That's only fair.
00:25:03Fine. I agree.
00:25:05Transfer it now. Put voluntary gift in the memo. Hurry.
00:25:10He takes out his phone and transfers me 10 million.
00:25:16I screenshot it and sent it to Millie, along with a photo of his clothes outside the bathroom.
00:25:23Let the show begin.
00:25:26Less than a minute later, Xander's phone rings. Millie's special ringtone.
00:25:31He picks up his phone and answers.
00:25:33Millie's tearful voice comes through.
00:25:36What? You fell down the stairs? I'm coming right now!
00:25:42Don't go.
00:25:45You promised to stay with me.
00:25:49It's an emergency. I swear, after this, I'll never see her again.
00:25:53He's out the door before he finishes speaking. The engine starts outside.
00:26:04I'm not sad at all. Looking at the 10 million in my account.
00:26:13I lock my door and leave.
00:26:19Everything that needed signing is signed. I don't care where Xander goes now.
00:26:24Xander arrives at the hotel.
00:26:27Millie and slumped over the table, drunk.
00:26:31You're busy sleeping with Rachel. Why are you even here?
00:26:36Why did you drink so much? Where are you hurt?
00:26:39Right here. My heart hurts.
00:26:44She pours Xander a drink. They drink together.
00:26:48Within an hour, Xander is drunk too.
00:26:52Who's better, me or her? Can her body compare to mine?
00:26:57Of course not.
00:26:59Millie straddles his lap and wraps her arms around his neck.
00:27:03Xander rolls over and pins her down.
00:27:06The next morning, Xander wakes up shirtless, with Millie beside him.
00:27:11He checks his phone. No messages from me.
00:27:13He feels an unfamiliar guilt.
00:27:16Morning, honey.
00:27:17Millie, Rachel might have found out. Maybe we should-
00:27:20So what if she found out?
00:27:22What's wrong with friends drinking and spending the night?
00:27:28Millie thinks she has Xander wrapped around her finger again.
00:27:32I contacted the hotel manager long ago, and had cameras installed in Xander and Millie's suite.
00:27:38Every video and photo from last night is crystal clear.
00:27:41I save them to my phone.
00:27:43To take him to court, one time isn't enough.
00:27:47I need proof of repeated affairs.
00:27:49Now I have it.
00:27:52Xander returns to the villa, and finds me gone again, and calls me.
00:27:57Rachel, why aren't you home? Weren't you working on the formula? When are you coming back?
00:28:02I send him the hotel photos from last night.
00:28:10Then I block him.
00:28:17I open my email, and receive new surveillance footage. More and more evidence.
00:28:34Xander's good days are numbered.
00:28:46He tries calling from several different numbers. I block them one by one.
00:28:50My phone finally goes silent.
00:28:53I open the new Spencer Group's stock is already dropping.
00:28:59A former colleague sends me a screenshot.
00:29:02Xander added Millie to the company chat, and made her technical director.
00:29:19The chat is full of welcome messages.
00:29:22I laugh coldly.
00:29:25I was the one who built this company with my perfume formulas.
00:29:34Now they want to push me out.
00:29:35Let's see how long Spencer Group lasts without me.
00:29:47Miss Brown, the evidence is more than sufficient, but the contract still has two months left.
00:29:52Are you sure you want to file now?
00:29:55Wait.
00:29:58I want to make sure they never get back up.
00:30:02Millie sends me a message, a selfie of her sitting at Xander's desk.
00:30:06She's wearing a new dress, smiling brightly.
00:30:10Rachel?
00:30:11Xander gave me the whole technical department.
00:30:13His desk is so big, comfortable to sit at.
00:30:15I'll take good care of his company.
00:30:18I save the screenshot and send it to my lawyer too.
00:30:22The more she gloats, the more evidence I have.
00:30:28Every penny Xander spends on her is part of our joint assets.
00:30:33Another message from my former colleague.
00:30:36Two major clients of Spencer Group pull out.
00:30:39Their partners suddenly terminated their contracts.
00:30:42The stock price is still dropping.
00:30:47The former colleague called me and asked if I was really not planning to come back.
00:30:51She said the company was a complete mess and everyone wanted to leave.
00:30:54I'm not coming back.
00:30:55You should start looking elsewhere too.
00:30:58Spencer Group won't last much longer.
00:31:01Kellen asks to meet.
00:31:02He says he wants to discuss cooperation.
00:31:06At his office, he pushes a contract in front of me.
00:31:14Miss Brown, Crescent Group will buy your perfume formula.
00:31:19Triple what Xander paid you.
00:31:23Change any terms you want.
00:31:26I trust you.
00:31:30And even if you try anything, my legal team isn't useless.
00:31:34No one dares to cheat me.
00:31:37I sign.
00:31:39He puts away the contract and suddenly walks up to me.
00:31:42He speaks again.
00:31:51Miss Brown, marry me.
00:31:57Mr. Mitchell, marriage isn't on my list right now.
00:32:01I just got out of one lie.
00:32:03I don't want to jump into another.
00:32:08This isn't a lie.
00:32:10I'm serious.
00:32:15But we barely know each other.
00:32:20Then let's get to know each other.
00:32:28I'm not in a hurry.
00:32:29After signing, Kellen says he'll take me to see Mr. Barnes.
00:32:34At Mr. Barnes's place, my mentor is very happy to see me.
00:32:38He holds my hand and won't let go.
00:32:41Rachel, I'm glad you're joining the program.
00:32:45You turned me down three times before.
00:32:49I thought you would never come.
00:32:53Mr. Barnes, I was young and foolish, blinded by love.
00:33:00I won't let you down again.
00:33:02Kellen, go get the materials for Rachel.
00:33:06Second drawer in my study.
00:33:11After Kellen leaves, Mr. Barnes speaks quietly to me.
00:33:15His expression is very serious.
00:33:19Rachel.
00:33:21Kellen is stubborn and doesn't know how to talk sweetly.
00:33:26But his feelings for you are real.
00:33:31I've never seen him care about someone this much.
00:33:36Mr. Barnes, why are you defending him?
00:33:40Who is he to you?
00:33:44Because he's my grandson.
00:33:49Kellen Mitchell is my own grandson.
00:33:55I freeze.
00:34:02Leaving Mr. Barnes's place, Kellen drives me home.
00:34:05I don't say a word the whole way.
00:34:08He keeps stealing glances at me.
00:34:11Miss Brown, why are you so quiet?
00:34:14Did my grandfather say something to you?
00:34:19You're Mr. Barnes' grandson?
00:34:20Why didn't you tell me?
00:34:22Did you hit it on purpose?
00:34:24You didn't ask.
00:34:25And does it matter?
00:34:27Whose son or grandson I am doesn't affect my wanting to work with you.
00:34:32I'm speechless.
00:34:33He's always got an excuse.
00:34:35But he's right.
00:34:36I never asked.
00:34:44Miss Brown, the program starts next week. Are you ready?
00:34:48Yes.
00:34:49We'll be isolated for a full month.
00:34:55I'm ready.
00:34:56I finished reading all the materials.
00:34:58I'll be there too.
00:35:00By then, we'll be colleagues.
00:35:06What are you going there for?
00:35:08I'm the investor.
00:35:09I need to supervise the progress.
00:35:15He smiles.
00:35:16I have a feeling he's lying.
00:35:19The day of the program arrives.
00:35:22I stand on the curb with my suitcase.
00:35:30Helens Maybach stops in front of me.
00:35:33Get in.
00:35:34I'll take you to the base.
00:35:39It's hard to get a taxi here.
00:35:42I waited 10 minutes and didn't see a single one.
00:35:45You waited 10 minutes for me?
00:35:48How did you know I would come out at this time?
00:35:50I guessed.
00:35:51Get in or you'll be late.
00:35:53I get in.
00:35:56He puts my suitcase in the trunk.
00:36:00The base is in the suburbs.
00:36:02An hour's drive away.
00:36:05At the base, I'm assigned to group 5.
00:36:08Joelle, once a student in the same college as me, is in my group.
00:36:12She's a very lively girl.
00:36:14Rachel, I'm so happy to be in the same group as you.
00:36:18I heard you were amazing back in school.
00:36:20We're chatting when a familiar voice comes from behind.
00:36:23Rosalyn, Xander's younger sister.
00:36:26She's in this program too.
00:36:28So it's you, Rachel.
00:36:30What are you doing here?
00:36:31Come to make a fool of yourself?
00:36:33Does my brother know you're here?
00:36:39Is this how you talk to your sister-in-law?
00:36:41Is this how your brother raised you?
00:36:44Sister-in-law?
00:36:45Who do you think you are?
00:36:47My brother should have kicked you out long ago.
00:36:52You wait.
00:36:53I'm calling him right now.
00:36:55You'll hear his shout soon.
00:36:59I've already blocked your brother's number.
00:37:01Go ahead and call.
00:37:03See if he can get through.
00:37:06Rosalyn is furious.
00:37:09She doesn't know I've completely cut ties with her brother.
00:37:12The first task is to find a rare spice called dawn leaf.
00:37:16I take Joelle and my teammates into the forest.
00:37:19Dawn leaf has a very distinctive scent that spreads far.
00:37:22It smells close, but it could be miles away.
00:37:26Rachel, do you smell that?
00:37:27It's wonderful.
00:37:29Like orchids, but not quite.
00:37:32That's dawn leaf.
00:37:34Only one has been found in the country.
00:37:36I didn't expect to find it here too.
00:37:38I follow the scent for a long time.
00:37:41In the evening, I finally find it deep inside a cave.
00:37:54I carefully dig out the dawn leaf and put it in a pot.
00:38:00My mentor tells me the investor wants to have dinner with whoever found it.
00:38:05I go to the top floor restaurant.
00:38:07I push the door open.
00:38:09Kellen is sitting inside.
00:38:11He's wearing a black suit, looking more allure than usual.
00:38:15You're the investor?
00:38:17Crescent Group invested in Mr. Barnes's program?
00:38:20Ms. Brown, please sit.
00:38:21I've already ordered all your favorites.
00:38:27How do you know what I like?
00:38:33I did my research.
00:38:37He answers without any guilt.
00:38:39I don't know whether to be angry or amused.
00:38:45The next day at lunch, I go to the cafeteria again.
00:38:52Ms. Brown, did you rest well yesterday?
00:38:54Is the bed too hard?
00:38:56Should I have them change your room?
00:38:57No need.
00:38:58Mr. Mitchell, can you please not talk to me in public like this?
00:39:00It draws too much attention.
00:39:02I don't care what people think.
00:39:04Rosalyn walks over and raises her voice on purpose, wanting everyone to hear.
00:39:09Rachel, you're a married woman.
00:39:10First you seduced my brother.
00:39:12Now you're seducing the boss?
00:39:13Shameless.
00:39:13My brother was blind to marry you.
00:39:15Anyone who spreads rumors will leave this program.
00:39:18I don't need people who don't respect their colleagues.
00:39:20The cafeteria goes silent.
00:39:22You can hear people breathing.
00:39:24Kellen calls over the cafeteria manager.
00:39:26From today on, Ms. Brown's meal budget is separate.
00:39:29Lobster, steak, whatever she wants you make it.
00:39:31Charge it to my account.
00:39:32Why does she get such good food?
00:39:34This isn't fair!
00:39:38Because I like her.
00:39:48Everyone stares at me.
00:39:52But my heart is pounding like crazy.
00:39:54In the evening, Kellen asks to meet me at the private dining room again.
00:39:57I go.
00:39:58I know what he wants to say.
00:40:00Mr. Mitchell, aren't you tired of seeing me every day?
00:40:03Everyone in the program is already gossiping.
00:40:06Not at all.
00:40:07I'm seeing someone I like.
00:40:09What business is it of theirs?
00:40:12You're always like this.
00:40:13You don't care about how others feel.
00:40:16He stands up and walks to me.
00:40:18Before I can react, he suddenly bends down and kisses the corner of my lips.
00:40:24Are you crazy?
00:40:25Rachel, I like you.
00:40:28From the first time I saw you at the coffee house, when you fell into my arms, I knew.
00:40:33That was our first meeting.
00:40:35What do you know about liking someone?
00:40:37For some people, once is enough.
00:40:39You don't need to know them for a long time.
00:40:41My heartbeat doesn't lie.
00:40:42He's so serious.
00:40:44I look into his eyes.
00:40:45There's no joke in them.
00:40:47My heart is pounding.
00:40:50Kellen.
00:40:51I'm not divorced yet.
00:40:52I don't want to talk about this right now.
00:40:57I can wait.
00:40:58I can wait.
00:40:59As long as it takes.
00:41:04I push him away and run.
00:41:06At the door, I look back.
00:41:08He's still standing there watching me.
00:41:14On the third day, I take Joel and Xander into the forest again to search for spices.
00:41:19I walk ahead, tying cloth strips on trees as markers.
00:41:23Rachel, let's split up.
00:41:25It'll be more efficient.
00:41:26Xander and I will go left.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:28Stay safe.
00:41:29Meet at the rendezvous point before dark.
00:41:30I'll go deeper.
00:41:38I leave markers along the way and find several rare spices.
00:41:44But when I try to go back, something feels wrong.
00:41:51Someone moved my markers.
00:41:54Several cloth strips are tied to different trees, pointing in completely wrong directions.
00:42:03I walk in circles but can't find my way back.
00:42:06The sky is getting darker, and fog is starting to roll in.
00:42:10A wild boar's howl comes from deep in the forest.
00:42:13My heart pounds.
00:42:15Who moved my markers?
00:42:17Rosalyn, it must be her.
00:42:19I climb up a big tree and hide among the branches.
00:42:23Rustling sounds come from below.
00:42:25The wild boar is really here.
00:42:37I hide in the tree.
00:42:39The wild boar is ramming the trunk below.
00:42:42The branches are shaking.
00:42:43I'm losing my grip.
00:42:47My arms are shaking from exhaustion.
00:42:49It's getting darker.
00:42:51The only sounds in the forest are the boar's grunts and my own heartbeat.
00:42:56The boar finally leaves.
00:42:58Just as I'm about to climb down, I hear someone calling my name.
00:43:02It's Kellan's voice.
00:43:05Rachel!
00:43:06Where are you?
00:43:17I'm here!
00:43:18I'm here!
00:43:19In the tree!
00:43:21Kellen runs under the tree.
00:43:23I start climbing down, but the branch suddenly snaps.
00:43:29I fall!
00:43:31I think I'm going to hit the ground, but I fall into someone's arms.
00:43:37Kellan catches me.
00:43:38Are you okay?
00:43:43I'm fine.
00:43:46You...
00:43:47I look down.
00:43:48A broken branch is stuck in his leg.
00:43:50You're hurt!
00:43:51Someone call for help!
00:43:52Don't shout!
00:43:53I'm fine.
00:43:54You're safe.
00:43:55That's all that matters.
00:43:57His face is pale, covered in sweat.
00:44:00Blood runs down his calf, staining his pants red.
00:44:04Kellan is taken to the base's infirmary.
00:44:07The doctor says his calf is fractured.
00:44:10He'll need at least a month to recover.
00:44:12Mr. Mitchell, try to stay off your feet as much as possible.
00:44:16Don't put weight on it until the bone heals.
00:44:18Got it.
00:44:19You can leave now.
00:44:23I stand at the door of the ward, afraid to go in.
00:44:26This is all my fault.
00:44:27If he hadn't tried to save me, he wouldn't be hurt.
00:44:35What are you doing standing at the door?
00:44:38Come in.
00:44:43I'm sorry.
00:44:45This is all my fault.
00:44:47What's your fault?
00:44:48That you were chased by a wild boar?
00:44:50Or that I came to save you?
00:44:53Don't overthink it.
00:44:54The doctor says you need a month to recover.
00:44:57What about your work?
00:45:01I can work remotely.
00:45:04But you owe me a favor.
00:45:05You have to pay it back.
00:45:07How?
00:45:08Come take care of me every day.
00:45:10Bring me tea and water.
00:45:12Feed me.
00:45:13Talk to me.
00:45:15I don't like nurses.
00:45:23He smiles like a child.
00:45:25I know he's doing this on purpose, but I can't say no.
00:45:28The next day, I gather my teammates together.
00:45:34I need to find out who moved my trail markers.
00:45:39Yesterday, I got lost in the forest.
00:45:41Someone deliberately moved my markers.
00:45:43I'm not letting this go.
00:45:45What does you getting lost have to do with me?
00:45:48You have no sense of direction and you blame others?
00:45:50I didn't say it was you.
00:45:52I didn't say it was you.
00:45:52Why are you so quick to defend yourself?
00:45:55Rosalyn's face changes.
00:45:59I pull a cloth strip from my pocket, the one I found in her bag.
00:46:04This is my trail marker.
00:46:06It was in your bag.
00:46:07Explain that.
00:46:09I...
00:46:10I don't know how it got in my bag.
00:46:18Someone must be setting me up.
00:46:20Then why did you go to my area yesterday?
00:46:23Your task was in the south.
00:46:26I...
00:46:27I got lost.
00:46:29Got lost?
00:46:35Then how did you manage to find my marker and hide it in your bag?
00:46:40She has nothing to say.
00:46:43The base leaders arrive.
00:46:45After reviewing the evidence, they give her a disciplinary penalty.
00:46:49Rosalyn.
00:46:50A serious violation recorded.
00:46:56All points reset to zero.
00:46:58One more time.
00:47:00And you're out.
00:47:02Rosalyn clenches her teeth and glares at me.
00:47:05I know she hates me.
00:47:07But I hate her more for nearly getting me killed.
00:47:14The program takes a long day break.
00:47:17My brother Rhett calls and says the Shaw family's homecoming banquet is tonight.
00:47:22I have to attend.
00:47:24Ray, just show up tonight.
00:47:27You don't have to do anything.
00:47:32A Shaw daughter doesn't need to please anyone.
00:47:36Till dawn.
00:47:40Right.
00:47:41What should I wear?
00:47:43We could stay to watch the sun.
00:47:45I already had the gown sent to your villa.
00:47:47Only one in the world, handmade by Master Velce himself.
00:47:53We don't need a reason.
00:47:56I put on the gown.
00:47:57The hem is studded with 10,000 diamonds.
00:48:13I walk into the banquet hall.
00:48:16Every eye in the room turns to me.
00:48:26Two people in the corner freeze.
00:48:28Xander and Millie.
00:48:30What are they doing here?
00:48:38Millie.
00:48:40What is Rachel doing here?
00:48:44How could she afford a dress like that?
00:48:47How should I know?
00:48:51Maybe she found a sugar daddy.
00:48:54Speaking of this.
00:48:56Didn't you say she was just a country girl?
00:49:05Millie pulls Xander and walks toward me.
00:49:08There's a fake smile plastered on her face.
00:49:11Rachel.
00:49:12What are you doing here?
00:49:13You can't get into a banquet like this without an invitation.
00:49:21You didn't sneak in, did you?
00:49:23I was invited by the Shaw family.
00:49:30Do you have a problem with that?
00:49:35The Shaw?
00:49:38The Shaw's invited you?
00:49:40How could you possibly know the Shaw family?
00:49:48That's none of your concern.
00:49:53That dress.
00:49:55It must be fake, right?
00:49:57Master Velce never authorized replicas.
00:50:00There's only one in the world.
00:50:02How could you afford it?
00:50:07You say my dress is fake.
00:50:09Do you have proof?
00:50:12Or do you assume everyone else can't afford it?
00:50:16Just cause you can't?
00:50:19I know you're not as innocent as you pretend to be.
00:50:22Millie's face turns bright red.
00:50:24Xander stands next to her, looking equally uncomfortable.
00:50:27He doesn't know what to say.
00:50:32Smell this perfume.
00:50:34I made it myself.
00:50:36It's much better than your formulas.
00:50:39She hands me a bottle of perfume.
00:50:42I smell it.
00:50:47This is my formula.
00:50:49A half-finished version from my computer.
00:50:52She stole from me.
00:51:02Reet walks down the stairs.
00:51:03The banquet hall goes quiet.
00:51:05All eyes turn to him.
00:51:12Mr. Shaw, hello.
00:51:14I'm Millie Clark, representing Spencer Group.
00:51:16This is a new perfume I created.
00:51:18Please try it.
00:51:21Rhett picked up the perfume and smelled it.
00:51:26Not bad.
00:51:28This is Crescent Group's Whispering Grass released last week.
00:51:32You're saying you made it?
00:51:35What?
00:51:40That's impossible!
00:51:42I really made this myself!
00:51:44Shall I bring out a bottle for comparison?
00:51:48Miss Clark,
00:51:50admiring what belongs to others is fine.
00:51:53But trying to claim it as your own?
00:51:55That's a problem.
00:51:58The whole room erupts.
00:52:01Millie's face goes white.
00:52:05Xander is stunned too.
00:52:07He knows Millie lied to him.
00:52:11This is the Shaw Family Banquet.
00:52:14Reputation matters most to us.
00:52:20Mr. Spencer, Miss Clark, your behavior is unacceptable.
00:52:25Please leave.
00:52:27Security escorts them out.
00:52:35My brother looks at me and nods slightly.
00:52:39I feel incredibly satisfied.
00:52:42After the banquet,
00:52:43Helen and I walk by the river.
00:52:46He's in a wheelchair.
00:52:47And I'm pushing him.
00:52:50Miss Brown,
00:52:51are you happy today?
00:52:52Watching those two get kicked out,
00:52:54that must feel good.
00:52:56Not bad.
00:52:57I heard the Shaw daughter didn't show up tonight.
00:53:00People say she's ugly and afraid to be seen.
00:53:03Grew up in the countryside.
00:53:05Probably knows nothing.
00:53:06He's insulting me again.
00:53:08He doesn't know that I am that country girl.
00:53:10I'm too angry to speak.
00:53:12Mr. Mitchell, you've never met her,
00:53:14yet you judge her so harshly.
00:53:16What if she's actually good?
00:53:18Good?
00:53:18What can you learn in the countryside?
00:53:20The Shaws only brought her back for a marriage alliance.
00:53:24My grandfather wanted me to marry her.
00:53:25I refused.
00:53:27Why did you refuse?
00:53:28I don't need a marriage alliance.
00:53:31Besides,
00:53:31a woman from the countryside,
00:53:33could never be worthy to me.
00:53:39Miss Brown!
00:53:42I turn around and leave in anger.
00:53:45He calls after me,
00:53:46but I ignore him.
00:53:49Back at the base,
00:53:51a new person joins the program.
00:53:53My mentor says he's been transferred from overseas.
00:53:56His name is Horace Williams.
00:53:59Rachel?
00:54:00What a coincidence.
00:54:02I didn't expect to run into you here.
00:54:04Horace?
00:54:05What are you doing here?
00:54:06I thought you were building your career overseas.
00:54:09I got transferred back.
00:54:11I heard you were here,
00:54:12so I applied.
00:54:13It's been years, hasn't it?
00:54:17Rachel?
00:54:18You know him?
00:54:20He's a friend from college.
00:54:21He helped me a lot back then.
00:54:24Horace is gentle and soft-spoken.
00:54:28Joelle's eyes light up when she sees him.
00:54:33Rachel?
00:54:34Want to have lunch together?
00:54:36It's been a while.
00:54:37I'd love to catch up.
00:54:40Sure.
00:54:46In the cafeteria,
00:54:47Helen sits in his wheelchair,
00:54:49watching me laugh and talk with Horace.
00:54:55His expression is dark.
00:54:58Kellen wheels over.
00:55:01Miss Brown,
00:55:02I'm almost out of my medication.
00:55:05Could you go get some from the infirmary?
00:55:07Don't you have nurses?
00:55:09They don't know which one it is.
00:55:11You go get it.
00:55:13I'll wait.
00:55:14I have no choice but to go.
00:55:21When I come back,
00:55:23Kellen and Horace are talking.
00:55:25Neither of them is smiling.
00:55:28After dinner,
00:55:29I go to Kellen's room to check on his leg.
00:55:35The Lynx, Max,
00:55:37darts in past my feet.
00:55:39Max! Don't run around!
00:55:42The Lynx jumps onto Kellen's bed
00:55:45and moves close to his face.
00:55:47Kellen's face turns pale instantly.
00:55:51Take it.
00:55:52Take it away.
00:55:54What's wrong?
00:55:55Are you afraid of cats?
00:55:56I'm not afraid.
00:55:58I just...
00:55:58don't like them.
00:56:00His voice is shaking.
00:56:02Sweat dripping from his forehead.
00:56:04He's lying.
00:56:09I quickly carry the Lynx away.
00:56:17Kellen!
00:56:18What's wrong?
00:56:19Don't scare me like this!
00:56:20When I return to the room,
00:56:22Kellen is lying on the bed,
00:56:24his face pale.
00:56:26He doesn't respond.
00:56:27I run out and call for the doctor.
00:56:30The doctor rushes in and examines him.
00:56:34He's had a severe shock.
00:56:36His psychological trauma is serious,
00:56:38especially regarding felines.
00:56:40You can't keep pets near him.
00:56:43Psychological trauma?
00:56:44What happened to him before?
00:56:46I don't know the details.
00:56:49But his medical records show he was attacked by...
00:56:52a large feline in his childhood.
00:56:55He almost died.
00:56:57I freeze.
00:56:58So he wasn't being dramatic.
00:57:00He's genuinely scared.
00:57:03Every time he saw my Lynx,
00:57:05he must have been pain.
00:57:08Kellen wakes up.
00:57:09Seeing me beside him,
00:57:11he forces a smile.
00:57:13I'm fine.
00:57:14Just...
00:57:15low blood sugar.
00:57:17Don't worry.
00:57:19The doctor told me.
00:57:22You're afraid of cats.
00:57:25Why didn't you say so earlier?
00:57:30I didn't want you to think I'm weak.
00:57:35He looks at me with something in his eyes
00:57:38I've never seen before.
00:57:40My heart clenches.
00:57:42The final evaluation day arrives.
00:57:44The task is to recreate a specific scent
00:57:47and add functionality.
00:57:48I stayed up for three nights
00:57:50and finally finished my perfume.
00:57:52When I submitted it,
00:57:54I was confident.
00:57:56The results are announced the next day.
00:57:59I freeze.
00:58:00I'm ranked second to last.
00:58:03First place goes to Rosalyn.
00:58:06Rachel, how is that possible?
00:58:09Your perfume was clearly the best.
00:58:11Some people only know how to take shortcuts.
00:58:14No real talent.
00:58:19Feeling humiliated now?
00:58:21I want to see my submission.
00:58:27I go to the person in charge, Dahlia.
00:58:34She takes me to the storage room
00:58:36and brings out the perfume with my name on it.
00:58:41I picked up the perfume
00:58:43and smelled it.
00:58:46This isn't my work.
00:58:48Someone switched it.
00:58:50What did you say?
00:58:51I can recognize my own perfume formula.
00:58:54This isn't mine.
00:58:55And the data on my computer has been deleted.
00:58:58Dahlia's face changes.
00:59:00This just got serious.
00:59:04Rosalyn stands in the crowd, her face pale.
00:59:07Dahlia pulls up the surveillance footage.
00:59:09But the section after the perfumes were submitted is conveniently blank.
00:59:19I request to see Rosalyn's submission.
00:59:24Why this is my work?
00:59:26You have no right.
00:59:28You won't let me see it.
00:59:30Because you know you're guilty.
00:59:34Under pressure from the program committee,
00:59:37Rosalyn's perfume is brought out.
00:59:41I open the lid and smell it.
00:59:45This is mine.
00:59:46This bottle is my real work.
00:59:50You're lying!
00:59:52I worked hard on this!
00:59:54Then do you dare to compete with me again?
00:59:58Do it over.
00:59:59In front of everyone.
01:00:05Why...
01:00:06Why should I play along with your tantrum?
01:00:08You're scared!
01:00:09Because you know you're guilty!
01:00:15More and more people support a redo.
01:00:18Rosalyn's face gets worse.
01:00:21She knows she can't escape.
01:00:24The redo begins.
01:00:27The task is exactly the same as before.
01:00:34I know every step by heart.
01:00:36I've made this perfume hundreds of times.
01:00:42Her hands are shaking.
01:00:46She can't remember the percentages and measurements.
01:00:51Rosalyn...
01:00:51You can't remember, can't you?
01:00:55You didn't research the data yourself?
01:00:58Of course you can't recall it.
01:01:00Shut up!
01:01:01I have it all in my head!
01:01:0930 minutes later, I submit my perfume.
01:01:13Rosalyn's vial is almost empty.
01:01:15Time's up!
01:01:17The judges smell both perfumes.
01:01:24It takes less than a minute.
01:01:29They announce...
01:01:31The real first place belongs to me.
01:01:35Rosalyn...
01:01:36You stole Rachel's work and refused to admit it.
01:01:40From today, you are blacklisted from the industry.
01:01:44Rosalyn collapses onto the floor.
01:01:49No one around her feels any sympathy.
01:01:53The program is almost over.
01:01:56Everyone is packing up, getting ready to leave the base.
01:02:00I go to the cafeteria for a meal and run into Horace.
01:02:03He invites me for coffee.
01:02:06Rachel...
01:02:07Congratulations getting first place.
01:02:09I knew you could do it.
01:02:14Your advice helped me figure out the functional aspect.
01:02:20We're chatting happily.
01:02:21I don't notice Rosalyn in the corner, holding up her camera and taking several photos.
01:02:30These photos should be enough.
01:02:32The angle makes it look like they're kissing.
01:02:35Send them to my brother.
01:02:37Let's see how Rachel explains this.
01:02:44After the meal, I return to my dorm.
01:02:47The lynx Max is waiting for me at the door.
01:02:49It's time to release it back into the forest.
01:02:53Max, your wound is healed.
01:02:56It's time to go home.
01:02:57I'll miss you.
01:03:07The program officially ends.
01:03:12I graduate with the highest overall score.
01:03:17My mentor, Mr. Barnes, personally presents me with the certificate.
01:03:25Rachel, you're the best student I've ever taught.
01:03:29The right to cooperate on this project goes to you.
01:03:35I won't let you down.
01:03:37Kellen sits in his wheelchair, watching me from a distance.
01:03:43His leg isn't healed yet, but he still came to the closing ceremony.
01:03:53Miss Brown, congratulations.
01:03:58How's your leg?
01:04:01Almost there.
01:04:04The doctor says I'll be able to walk in two more weeks.
01:04:08Good.
01:04:10Mr. Mitchell, thank you for saving me.
01:04:14You're welcome.
01:04:15Don't forget, you still owe me a favor.
01:04:18He smiles.
01:04:19I smile too.
01:04:22A month of isolated living is over.
01:04:25It's time to go back and face Sander.
01:04:27Back in Mophia, I turn on my phone.
01:04:29The news headlines are full of bad news about Spencer Group.
01:04:40Rachel, the company is barely holding on.
01:04:43Mr. Spencer is angry every day.
01:04:45Millie doesn't even come to work anymore.
01:04:48They deserve it.
01:04:53Rachel, what did you do to Spencer Group?
01:04:55Why do all our partners refuse to negotiate?
01:04:57Unless you're there?
01:04:58I didn't do anything.
01:05:00I just told them I've left Spencer Group.
01:05:02Who they want to work with is their business.
01:05:04Can you come back?
01:05:05The company can't survive without you.
01:05:07Xander, you said it yourself.
01:05:09Without me, Spencer Group will still run.
01:05:12Now let's see how it runs.
01:05:16I hang up.
01:05:18When he calls again, I turn off my phone.
01:05:22Millie comes to find me.
01:05:25She's standing downstairs at my place, crying hysterically.
01:05:31Rachel, please help Xander.
01:05:34The company is really going under.
01:05:36Aren't you amazing?
01:05:37Don't you know a master perfumer?
01:05:39What happened?
01:05:40All of it stopped working?
01:05:43I... I lied to him.
01:05:45None of it was real.
01:05:47I don't know any master perfumer.
01:05:49What about your marriage certificate?
01:05:51Is that fake too?
01:05:54That one is real.
01:05:56But Xander, his heart only belongs to you.
01:05:59He was just using me.
01:06:01Using you?
01:06:03When you were sleeping together, was that just using too?
01:06:06She has nothing to say.
01:06:08I close the door, leaving her outside.
01:06:15Millie, you're crying now?
01:06:17It's too late.
01:06:21It's too late.
01:06:24Kellen asks to meet.
01:06:26He's standing at the coffee house door with a cane, waiting for me.
01:06:33You can walk?
01:06:36Almost.
01:06:38Come in, I have something to tell you.
01:06:40Inside the private room, he poured a cup of coffee and pushed it toward me.
01:06:52His expression is very serious.
01:06:57I went to see my grandfather.
01:06:59He told me the truth.
01:07:01You are the Shaw family's long lost daughter.
01:07:07And what of it?
01:07:10That night by the river, when I said the Shaw daughter grew up in the countryside and knew nothing, I
01:07:14was talking about you.
01:07:17I know.
01:07:18I was right next to you, I heard every word.
01:07:21I didn't know it was you then.
01:07:22If I had known...
01:07:25If you had known it was me, you wouldn't have said it?
01:07:29So, you still think that way?
01:07:31You just don't dare say it to my face?
01:07:34He freezes.
01:07:36I pick up my bag, ready to leave.
01:07:40Rachel, wait.
01:07:42I know what I said was terrible, I apologize.
01:07:46What good is an apology?
01:07:49You look down on me.
01:07:50You look down on where I come from.
01:07:53No.
01:07:55I look down on my own prejudice.
01:07:57I had never met the Shaw daughter, yet I labeled her before knowing her.
01:08:01That's my fault.
01:08:03You also said that country people never change their habits.
01:08:06Do you think I can change?
01:08:08You don't need to change.
01:08:10I'm the one who need to change.
01:08:12Rachel, I like you.
01:08:14Not because of whose daughter you are.
01:08:16Just because of you.
01:08:17He looks into my eyes.
01:08:20There's no joke in them.
01:08:21I almost believe him.
01:08:23Kellen, we're just business partners.
01:08:25From now on, don't see me outside of work.
01:08:31I turn and leave.
01:08:33He doesn't follow.
01:08:34But I know he's still watching me.
01:08:46Ray, is the program over?
01:08:48How are your results?
01:08:50First place.
01:08:52And I got the right to cooperate.
01:08:54That's my sister.
01:08:55Oh, by the way, that childhood betrothal I mentioned.
01:08:57The other family called off the engagement.
01:08:58I know.
01:08:59It's Kellen Mitchell, isn't it?
01:09:01How do you know?
01:09:02I've met him.
01:09:03And he was in the program.
01:09:06What a coincidence.
01:09:07What do you think of him?
01:09:09Not good.
01:09:09He's arrogant and looks down on people.
01:09:12Then it's good that the engagement is off.
01:09:15I'll find you someone better.
01:09:17Don't bother.
01:09:18For the foreseeable future, I don't want to deal with relationships.
01:09:22My brother smiles and shakes his head.
01:09:26He doesn't know that Kellen just apologized to me.
01:09:29But I don't plan to forgive Kellen.
01:09:32But when my brother said called off the engagement,
01:09:35I felt a tiny something in my heart.
01:09:38Something I can't quite name.
01:09:41Millie invited me to her birthday banquet.
01:09:45I know she wants to humiliate me in public.
01:09:49I wear a backless mermaid gown with crystals on the hem.
01:09:54The moment I walk in, every eye in the room turns to me.
01:10:00Who is she?
01:10:02She's stunning.
01:10:03That gown is breathtaking.
01:10:11Rachel, you came.
01:10:12I thought you wouldn't dare show up.
01:10:14How could I miss your birthday banquet?
01:10:17I even brought a gift.
01:10:21A gift?
01:10:23What gift?
01:10:26You'll find out soon enough.
01:10:28Zander stands next to Millie,
01:10:30wearing a suit in the same color as hers.
01:10:36They look like a bride and groom.
01:10:41Zander, you and Miss Clark match so well.
01:10:47Anyone would think this is your wedding.
01:10:49Rachel, don't talk nonsense.
01:10:52Exactly.
01:10:53We're just friends.
01:11:00Rachel, don't overthink it.
01:11:03I smile.
01:11:05Friends?
01:11:07What close friends you are.
01:11:09Halfway through the banquet, Millie walks to the stage with a glass in her hand.
01:11:17She's about to give a speech.
01:11:19Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet.
01:11:28Today, I also have an announcement.
01:11:30She looks at me, a cold smile on her lips.
01:11:35Rachel, you've been seducing my best friend Zander and trying to get close to the Shaw family's eldest son.
01:11:41I have photos here that prove your true colors.
01:11:44Everyone looks at me.
01:11:50Some people start whispering.
01:11:56Millie, you say I'm seducing Zander?
01:12:00Then how about showing everyone the video of you and him in the hotel room?
01:12:04What are you talking about?
01:12:07What video?
01:12:09I take out my phone and connect it to the banquet hall's large screen.
01:12:14The video starts playing.
01:12:17On the screen, Millie and Zander are tangled in bed.
01:12:23Moans and gasps echo through the entire hall.
01:12:29This is what you call just friends?
01:12:32Millie's face is pale.
01:12:34Zander stands frozen.
01:12:39The whole room erupts.
01:12:41Shock and contempt are written on every face.
01:12:45The video ends.
01:12:49The banquet hall is terrifyingly quiet.
01:12:54Millie covers her face, speechless.
01:12:57So she's the homewrecker.
01:13:02And she tried to blame someone else for seducing a man?
01:13:09Shameless.
01:13:10Zander is no better.
01:13:13Cheating on his wife.
01:13:15Lying about the marriage.
01:13:22Rachel, let's go home and talk.
01:13:25There are too many people here.
01:13:29Go home?
01:13:34Where is my home?
01:13:36Yours and Millie's home?
01:13:41I turn and leave.
01:13:44Behind me are their humiliation and the pointing fingers of the crowd.
01:13:49I don't look back.
01:13:51The next day, the video goes viral online.
01:13:55Spencer Group's stock price keeps falling.
01:13:58Zander's company is finished.
01:14:00Spencer Group's stock price plummeted 60% today.
01:14:04Multiple executives have resigned.
01:14:07The group is facing bankruptcy.
01:14:11I turn off the TV.
01:14:14Zander, this is his fate.
01:14:16I call my lawyer, Mooney.
01:14:18It's time.
01:14:19Mr. Stevens, are the litigation materials ready?
01:14:22I want to sue Zander for marriage fraud and bigamy.
01:14:25They're ready.
01:14:26The evidence is solid.
01:14:28He can't escape.
01:14:30Then file them.
01:14:33After hanging up, I call my brother.
01:14:37Zander.
01:14:38Right?
01:14:38That land contract, I'm taking it back.
01:14:40Zander can't have it.
01:14:42That land is worth 10 billion now.
01:14:44Are you sure?
01:14:45I'm sure.
01:14:47He doesn't deserve it.
01:14:49Alright.
01:14:50I'll have someone handle it.
01:14:53Zander's last lifeline.
01:14:55I've pulled it away.
01:15:10He calls me countless times.
01:15:12I don't answer any of them.
01:15:19Zander finds my villa.
01:15:21He kneels at the door, crying uncontrollably.
01:15:24Rachel, I was wrong.
01:15:25I'm so sorry.
01:15:26Please give me another chance.
01:15:29What were you wrong about?
01:15:31I shouldn't have been with Millie.
01:15:33I shouldn't have lied to you.
01:15:34You're the one I love.
01:15:36You love me?
01:15:38You love my perfume formulas.
01:15:41Without me, Spencer Group is nothing.
01:15:44That's not true.
01:15:44I really love you.
01:15:46We've been together for five years.
01:15:48How can you be so heartless?
01:15:50Five years?
01:15:51You lied to me for five years.
01:15:53Your marriage certificate has Millie's name on it.
01:15:55We were never husband and wife.
01:15:58He's speechless.
01:16:02I close the door.
01:16:10Rachel, please.
01:16:18He kneels outside all night.
01:16:23I don't look at him again.
01:16:36Millie is kicked out of the Clark family too.
01:16:38She asks me to meet her at a cafe, begging me to spare Zander.
01:16:46Rachel, everything is my fault.
01:16:49I shouldn't have seduced Zander.
01:16:52Please spare him.
01:16:54You know you're wrong now.
01:16:56When you were rolling in bed together, didn't you think about the consequences?
01:17:00I... I really love him.
01:17:03Please.
01:17:04Love him?
01:17:06You love his money.
01:17:08You two are perfect for each other.
01:17:11One a con artist, the other a cheat.
01:17:14Millie walks away crying.
01:17:16I watch her go without a shred of sympathy.
01:17:22A week later, the court reached a verdict.
01:17:25Zander received a suspended sentence and a fine for bigamy.
01:17:28Millie, as an accomplice, was also sentenced to probation.
01:17:32I stand at the courthouse entrance, watching them being loaded into police vans.
01:17:37Zander looks back at me.
01:17:39His eyes are full of regret.
01:17:41But it's too late.
01:17:44After everything ends, I lock myself at home for days.
01:17:51Bexley comes to see me.
01:18:01Bexley comes to see me.
01:18:02Rachel, what's wrong?
01:18:04Everything is resolved.
01:18:05You should be happy.
01:18:06I don't know.
01:18:07I thought I'd be happy after getting revenge.
01:18:11But now, I just feel empty.
01:18:18That's because you still have feelings for him.
01:18:21Let it go.
01:18:22He's not worth it.
01:18:25I'm not hung up on him.
01:18:26I just...
01:18:29suddenly don't know what to do next.
01:18:35Start your own company.
01:18:36Your perfumes are amazing.
01:18:38Why not do it yourself?
01:18:45Yes, why can't I do it myself?
01:18:48You're right.
01:18:49I'm going to start my own company.
01:18:54That's the Rachel I know.
01:18:58I smile.
01:18:59It's the first genuine smile in days.
01:19:03While I'm preparing the company,
01:19:06Kellen comes to see me.
01:19:07He's standing at the door,
01:19:09holding a bouquet of flowers.
01:19:14Mr. Mitchell,
01:19:15what are you doing here?
01:19:17I heard you're starting a company.
01:19:18I came to congratulate you.
01:19:22I'll take the flowers.
01:19:23You can leave now.
01:19:25Rachel, are you still angry with me?
01:19:28No.
01:19:29I just don't think we need to be too close.
01:19:32He puts the flowers on the table.
01:19:37Then takes a small box out of his pocket.
01:19:40Open it.
01:19:44I open the box.
01:19:46Inside is a ring.
01:19:49I freeze.
01:19:51Rachel?
01:19:54Marry me.
01:19:57Are you crazy?
01:19:58We've only known each other for a short time.
01:20:03I've known you for five years.
01:20:07From the first time you presented your perfume in front of Mr. Barnes,
01:20:11I noticed you.
01:20:13He looks at me,
01:20:14his eyes full of sincerity.
01:20:17My heart is racing.
01:20:19Five years ago?
01:20:22I hadn't even graduated yet.
01:20:30How could you have known me?
01:20:33You participated in a perfume competition.
01:20:42I was in the audience.
01:20:44I've never forgotten the scent.
01:20:47I remember.
01:20:49I won first place in that competition.
01:20:51But I never saw him.
01:20:54Later, I asked my grandfather to contact you.
01:20:57I wanted you to come to Crescent Group.
01:20:59You refused.
01:21:01You said you were getting married.
01:21:04So, you've been waiting for me all this time?
01:21:08Not waiting.
01:21:11Believing that you would wake up.
01:21:15You deserve someone better.
01:21:17His voice is calm as he says these words.
01:21:21But my eyes are tearing up.
01:21:27Kellen, what you said before,
01:21:29it really hurt.
01:21:32I know.
01:21:37So I'll give you the rest of my life to make up for it.
01:21:41Is that enough?
01:21:42He slips the ring onto my finger.
01:21:44I don't pull my hand away.
01:21:47At the Shaw family's homecoming banquet,
01:21:49my brother officially announces my identity.
01:21:52The whole room is stunned.
01:21:56This is my younger sister, Rachel Shaw.
01:21:59A daughter of the Shaw family.
01:22:00I stand on the stage in diamond-staddled gown.
01:22:05Everyone is looking at me.
01:22:09In the corner,
01:22:11Millie stands with disheveled hair.
01:22:15After being kicked out of the Clark family,
01:22:18no one would take her in.
01:22:21I heard that when Xander learned I was a Shaw daughter,
01:22:25he cried all night.
01:22:29Kellen walks over and takes my hand.
01:22:35He's wearing the jacket I made for him.
01:22:37It fits perfectly.
01:22:44Miss Shaw, would you like to dance with me?
01:22:52I smile.
01:22:54This time, I don't push him away.
01:22:56I lost five years of my youth for a liar's love.
01:23:01But I found myself.
01:23:02I found my family.
01:23:04And I found someone who was willing to wait for me.
01:23:07For five years.
01:23:18I guess this is the best ending.
01:23:19I guess this is the best ending.
