00:01:28He is Liam Warren, the most powerful man in Artwell, who commands a massive empire, ruthless, formidable, and feared by

00:01:36everyone.

00:01:37Mr. Warren, please spare us.

00:07:54Catherine, avez-vous trouvé quelqu'un pour soutenir vous ?

00:07:58Attention, pas tout le monde est en confiance qu'ils semblent.

00:08:04Je prends les nouvelles dresses que vous avez juste montré Jolene.

00:08:06Quoi ?

00:08:07Je les ai déjà vu les premières.

00:08:09J'ai vu les premières, mais ne peux pas les payer ?

00:08:12Peut-être ?

00:08:13C'est la famille de Browne d'avance d'argent seulement 100,000 ?

00:08:17Jolene trembles avec furement.

00:08:19Je paye et walke out.

00:08:21Je regarde Jolene tremble avec rage.

00:08:23Je n'ai pas la parole à Jolene.

00:08:26Je n'ai pas la parole à Jolene.

00:08:27Après tout l'humilité que j'ai apporté dans le Browne d'avance,

00:08:30c'est juste un petit payback.

00:08:32Jolene gala d'avance d'avance n'est rien short de spectaculaire.

00:08:36J'ai entré dans le hall sur le pied de Liam.

00:08:38J'ai dressé dans une robe de wine-rede.

00:08:39J'ai majeur refined, mais understated.

00:08:42Jolene, je n'ai pas la fille abandonnée de le Browne d'avance.

00:08:46J'ai le nom de Liam Warren,

00:08:48le plus puissant en Ardwell.

00:08:51J'ai tous les yeux.

00:08:55Jolene t'entraînes.

00:08:56Je n'ai rien vu dans la chambre.

00:09:08Jolene t'ai l'impression que ça se fait.

00:09:12Jolene est Poitier.

00:09:13j'ai jamais vu d'avance.

00:09:15Jolene est venu avec lui.

00:09:15Jolene t'en revé,

00:09:16j'ai vraiment eu l'impression.

00:09:18Jolene est venu avec moi.

00:09:26C'est parti.

00:09:49C'est parti.

00:10:19Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.

00:10:21Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him, none of that is any of your business.

00:10:27Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?

00:10:32Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears. Here she goes again.

00:10:39Catherine, that's not what I meant.

00:10:42Catherine, where have you been?

00:10:44Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you. We're not that familiar.

00:10:50Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:54Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?

00:11:01Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:08I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.

00:11:18I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:21Did you catch that? Liam said it himself. She's with him.

00:11:26This has never happened before, has it?

00:11:31Wait, Catherine?

00:11:33Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth and brought back from some remote place?

00:11:40Judging by Jolene's little comments, the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.

00:11:46Look at Deccan's face.

00:11:48Is he starting to regret dumping her?

00:11:52I don't look back, but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.

00:11:57The auction begins.

00:11:59One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.

00:12:02Beautiful work of art.

00:12:04A piece of history.

00:12:05A masterpiece.

00:12:13Dazzling.

00:12:14Priceless.

00:12:16But I've never been interested in jewelry.

00:12:19No matter how valuable, they're just stones.

00:12:22Just then, I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:24It's Jolene.

00:12:26Austin, this necklace is stunning.

00:12:29I really like it.

00:12:32Austin understands immediately.

00:12:35His eyes grow determined.

00:12:37Same as always.

00:12:39Whatever Jolene wants, Austin gives her.

00:12:46Once I was jealous.

00:12:48Now, I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:53Going once.

00:12:54Going twice.

00:12:55Just as the host prepares to declare it sold, a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:13:0050 million.

00:13:02$50 million.

00:13:04$50 million.

00:13:05Congratulations, Mr. Warren.

00:13:08Liam walks up to the stage and claims the necklace.

00:13:15Then, to everyone's astonishment, he returns to me and fastens the necklace around my neck.

00:13:26It looks good on you.

00:13:29Thank you.

00:13:30I really like it.

00:13:33The sight stings Jolene's eyes.

00:13:36Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.

00:13:39I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.

00:13:44$50 million for a necklace.

00:13:47Liam really doesn't hold back.

00:13:49After the auction wraps up, I wander to the dessert table alone.

00:13:53Catherine, you really are something.

00:13:55A few days away and you've already hooked onto Liam.

00:13:58Nothing as impressive as your lifelong mastery of acting sweet and pitiful.

00:14:02Why do you always target me?

00:14:04Cut it out.

00:14:05There's no audience here, so no need to pretend.

00:14:07Jolene spots Declan approaching and intentionally bumps onto me, splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:14Catherine, even if you dislike me, isn't this too much?

00:14:17Throwing juice on me?

00:14:20What happened?

00:14:21Declan, it's okay.

00:14:22I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:25Catherine, you still haven't grown up.

00:14:27Jolene is your sister.

00:14:31I pick up a glass of red wine and flick my wrist, sending the whole glass onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:36There, that's something I actually did.

00:14:39And I only take responsibility for my own actions.

00:14:43Jolene is stunned.

00:14:45Declan freezes.

00:14:47Seems I arrived just after all the excitement ended.

00:14:50Quite the lesson in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:54Mr. Warren, this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:58Misunderstanding?

00:14:59There are security cameras here.

00:15:03Review them if clarity is needed.

00:15:06Whispers erupt around them.

00:15:13Jolene's face goes from scarlet to ghostly pale.

00:15:17Let's go.

00:15:18The atmosphere here is suffocating.

00:15:20A fierce satisfaction rising in my chest.

00:15:23This time, I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:26Back in the Brown family, I always tried to keep the peace.

00:15:28And all it got me was them pushing harder every time.

00:15:31Now, no one could step on me again.

00:15:38The following morning, I walk into the living area and notice Liam is already awake.

00:15:56Good morning.

00:15:59Good morning.

00:16:00Good morning.

00:16:01I head to the kitchen to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:07Just then, Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:16Is she the mysterious beauty who stunned everyone last night?

00:16:20That's Catherine Brown, my new personal doctor.

00:16:24You're serious?

00:16:26His skepticism is loud enough that I can't ignore it.

00:16:31Mr. Moreno, perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:34Your dark under eyes and shortness of breath suggest your vitality is running low.

00:16:38Winfred's face flushes immediately.

00:16:41This touches on a man's pride.

00:16:43What nonsense are you spouting?

00:16:44Miss Brown, I'm not one to judge by appearances.

00:16:47But Liam's condition is severe.

00:16:49Many top experts have been stumped.

00:16:51And you?

00:16:52I'm not bothered.

00:16:53I've faced this kind of doubt many times before.

00:16:57We'll see soon enough.

00:16:59Winred, maybe you ought to let Dr. Brown give you a prescription.

00:17:05Liam, are you kidding me?

00:17:06This girl-

00:17:06She's not just some girl.

00:17:08She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:09Right now, she's the one keeping me alive.

00:17:12He then turns to me.

00:17:13Can you really fix me?

00:17:17Yes.

00:17:1930 minutes later, I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:23Liam pulls his shirt up, exposing his toned chest.

00:17:28I pull out the silver needles and insert them with speed and precision.

00:17:37When the last needle is inserted, Liam's body shivers.

00:17:41And he spits out dark red, clotted blood.

00:17:49What did you just do to him, Dr. Brown?

00:17:51How are you feeling now?

00:17:57I feel great.

00:17:59Lighter than I have in a long time.

00:18:01Don't let yourself get too stressed.

00:18:03And most importantly, you'll need to prioritize rest and abstinence.

00:18:09Understood, Dr. Brown.

00:18:10I'll take your advice seriously.

00:18:12Winfred leans in and quietly asks if I can help with his health.

00:18:19I go back to my room and return with a bottle of pills.

00:18:23These are pills for male vitality.

00:18:26One bottle costs $100,000.

00:18:28$100,000?

00:18:30Are these pills made of solid gold?

00:18:32The ingredients are rare, and the process is complicated.

00:18:36Quality always demands a premium price.

00:18:39Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:40A sports car can be repaired, but if your health fails,

00:18:44no sum of money will grant you a second chance.

00:18:47The following morning, just as I prepare to leave,

00:18:50my phone buzzles with a call from Austin.

00:18:55Catherine, come back here right now.

00:18:57What is it?

00:18:58You'll find out when you get here.

00:18:59I realize that for the sake of my own peace,

00:19:02cutting all connections with the Brown family is necessary.

00:19:06The mood in the living room is thick with tension.

00:19:13Look who's back.

00:19:15How did you sink so low at your age,

00:19:18becoming someone's mistress?

00:19:21Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.

00:19:23I'm afraid you're being misled.

00:19:25Who I decide to be with is my own business.

00:19:29It doesn't concern your family.

00:19:32You're a Brown!

00:19:34Everything you do stains our family's name!

00:19:39Catherine, seriously,

00:19:41do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?

00:19:43Are you all finished?

00:19:45First, Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:50Second, even if there were something else,

00:19:53it's none of your business.

00:19:54And don't forget that I am no longer part of your family.

00:19:58You said you cut ties,

00:20:00so give back the Brown Group shares.

00:20:10I pull out my phone and show them the screen.

00:20:13Since I stepped in,

00:20:15I've been recording all your insults,

00:20:17threats,

00:20:18and schemes to grab the shares.

00:20:20Keep pushing me,

00:20:21and I won't hesitate to hand this over to the press and the law.

00:20:27I put my phone away,

00:20:29feeling nothing.

00:20:31I used to put up with everything you threw at me.

00:20:35Now it's your turn to taste

00:20:36what it feels like to be on the other end of a threat.

00:20:42I leave the Brown family home and prepare to go back.

00:20:48Suddenly, a voice calls out,

00:20:51Catherine, is that really you?

00:20:52Where have you been hiding?

00:20:54I look at the woman before me.

00:20:57She's nearly 50.

00:20:58Her face lined with wrinkles.

00:21:01Her expression mean and petty.

00:21:03What do you want?

00:21:04You must have money if you're surviving this well.

00:21:07My son needs school fees,

00:21:09and you owe me half a million.

00:21:10If you don't pay up,

00:21:12I'll make a scene outside your place every single day.

00:21:15If you need cash,

00:21:16ask your real daughter, Jolene.

00:21:18I raised you all those years,

00:21:20so you should compensate me.

00:21:22You ungrateful brat.

00:21:24Stay out of my way.

00:21:26Otherwise, I won't hesitate to involve the police

00:21:28and reopening the case about you switching infants.

00:21:31You...

00:21:32Don't do anything rash.

00:21:33I'll be going now.

00:21:35Bridget scurries off in panic.

00:21:41Just then,

00:21:42a sleek black Rolls Royce glides to a stop beside me.

00:21:46The window lowers.

00:21:48Revealing Liam's handsome face.

00:21:51Do you need a hand?

00:21:52No, it's nothing serious.

00:21:53I've already taken care of it.

00:21:56Get in.

00:21:58It's nearly impossible to catch a taxi here.

00:22:00I hesitate,

00:22:01but eventually get into the car.

00:22:04Bridget's appearance reminds me of one thing.

00:22:06The Brown family's troubles aren't over.

00:22:08That woman's greed is bottomless.

00:22:10She won't let this go.

00:22:12But that's fine.

00:22:14I'm no longer that little girl who

00:22:16let others push her around.

00:22:19Anyone who wants to come after me

00:22:21had better think twice.

00:22:24On the weekend,

00:22:26Gerard asks to meet me at Harborview Genie,

00:22:28a popular restaurant.

00:22:33Catherine?

00:22:35I turn around,

00:22:36and my eyes fall on Jalene,

00:22:38standing with the Browns and the Fultons.

00:22:41Did you hear we'd be here

00:22:42and decide to show up just to cause a scene?

00:22:45Mr. Brown,

00:22:46I'm here for the food.

00:22:48Just then,

00:22:49a clear voice cuts through the tension.

00:22:53Miss Catherine Brown,

00:22:54you're here.

00:22:55Welcome.

00:22:56Please follow me.

00:22:57Everyone stares in shock

00:22:59as I walk toward the most private,

00:23:01rarely accessible suite

00:23:02in the entire restaurant.

00:23:04How is she getting in there?

00:23:06There must be some mistake.

00:23:09I push open the suite door,

00:23:10and Gerard immediately rises from his seat.

00:23:14Catherine,

00:23:15you made it.

00:23:16Gerard tells me his uncle

00:23:17has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

00:23:19He says the required surgery

00:23:21carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:27Start with this medication.

00:23:29Come back in a week for a follow-up.

00:23:31We'll reassess then.

00:23:36Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:38I was sure you'd have a solution.

00:23:40After the meal,

00:23:41Gerald leans forward

00:23:42and asks if I need help with anything.

00:23:46I want to buy a house.

00:23:48It doesn't have to be big,

00:23:49but it must be extremely quiet and private,

00:23:52with top-tier security.

00:23:53I'll handle it.

00:23:54I'll find something perfect for you.

00:23:56Oh, and you're starting

00:23:56at Araylis University next Monday, right?

00:23:59I'm going to study.

00:24:01Medical school.

00:24:02You need to study medicine?

00:24:03You've got to be kidding me!

00:24:05I'm getting a formal degree

00:24:06and taking care of some personal business.

00:24:08Campus life isn't a bad experience after all.

00:24:13The manager hands me

00:24:15an exclusive premium membership card,

00:24:17saying all my expenses here

00:24:18will be on the house from now on.

00:24:21I glance over at Gerard,

00:24:23and he breaks into a grin.

00:24:25Don't refuse it.

00:24:26This is our business,

00:24:27so just enjoy it.

00:24:31Fine.

00:24:33After being chased away

00:24:34from my private suite,

00:24:35Jolene drags herself

00:24:37to her family's box.

00:24:49Jolene, are you okay?

00:24:51Mom, I'm fine.

00:24:53I just stepped out

00:24:54to see who Catherine was meeting.

00:24:56I was worried about her,

00:24:57but she had me pushed away.

00:25:00What?

00:25:01How dare she treat you that way?

00:25:04That ungrateful girl!

00:25:07Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:09I saw it, too.

00:25:11The manager was treating Catherine

00:25:13with a lot of respect.

00:25:15Yes.

00:25:16That man had an aura

00:25:17you can't fake.

00:25:18Catherine is clearly

00:25:20in the high circles.

00:25:21No wonder she's trying

00:25:22to distance herself from us.

00:25:30Pathetic and disgraceful.

00:25:34Who knows what kind of company

00:25:37she's keeping now?

00:25:38Jolene's heart swells

00:25:40with secret satisfaction.

00:25:41I have burned my bridges

00:25:43with the family for good.

00:25:45She is the Brown family's

00:25:47one and only daughter now.

00:25:50The dinner finally ends,

00:25:52and the two families part way

00:25:53at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:55When an unexpected grating voice

00:25:57rings out behind Jolene,

00:25:59she turn around

00:26:01and her smile freezes.

00:26:02It's her.

00:26:04Jolene!

00:26:06My dear daughter!

00:26:07Finally!

00:26:08I've found you!

00:26:10Her blood runs cold.

00:26:13Jolene,

00:26:14your younger brother

00:26:15needs money for school.

00:26:17Maybe you could help us out?

00:26:22I don't have time

00:26:23for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:25Take this,

00:26:26and never show your face

00:26:27around me again.

00:26:28Jolene,

00:26:29this isn't nearly enough.

00:26:30The tuition alone

00:26:31is a hundred thousand.

00:26:33Her hands tremble

00:26:34with unbridled rage.

00:26:35This wretched woman

00:26:36just won't know her place.

00:26:38I don't know you!

00:26:39My parents already paid you

00:26:41enough to cut ties

00:26:42all those years ago!

00:26:48I can't let this go on.

00:26:49I need to find a way

00:26:50to get rid of this problem

00:26:51for good.

00:26:53The day I've been waiting for

00:26:54has finally arrived.

00:26:56My first day reporting

00:26:57to Aurarius University.

00:27:12Jolene,

00:27:12is this your sister?

00:27:14Since when

00:27:14does Avalius University

00:27:15let random nobodies walk in?

00:27:17Well,

00:27:18isn't this a lovely coincidence,

00:27:19Jolene?

00:27:20Looks like we're going

00:27:21to be classmates.

00:27:22Classmates?

00:27:23You and me?

00:27:24Don't be ridiculous!

00:27:27The lecture bell

00:27:28chimes sharp and clear

00:27:30and Professor Lambert Carter

00:27:32steps through the door.

00:27:33He's a living legend

00:27:34in the global medical field,

00:27:36the heart of this school's

00:27:37medical program.

00:27:38He turns to the class

00:27:40and poses an extremely complex

00:27:42peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:45The entire lecture hall

00:27:47falls dead silent,

00:27:49not a single student

00:27:50daring to speak up.

00:27:54Young lady,

00:27:55please tell us

00:27:55what you think.

00:27:56I shut my notebook calmly,

00:27:58no trace of panic

00:27:59in my movements,

00:28:00and stand up.

00:28:01I lay out my analysis

00:28:03clearly and concisely,

00:28:04citing cutting-edge research,

00:28:06clinical data,

00:28:07and real surgical cases

00:28:08effortlessly.

00:28:11She's incredible!

00:28:13Total beauty and brains!

00:28:14Who even is she?

00:28:17Jolene's face burns

00:28:18with jealousy,

00:28:19her grip tight on her pen.

00:28:23When the final bell rings,

00:28:24I walk out of the lecture hall.

00:28:27Jolene steps in front of me

00:28:28with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:30Catherine,

00:28:31just a few days away,

00:28:33and suddenly you're the one

00:28:34catching everyone's attention.

00:28:36Jolene,

00:28:37she's probably pulling stunts

00:28:38she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:40Exactly!

00:28:41Everyone whispers

00:28:42she knows how to charm

00:28:43the right people.

00:28:45Is that all?

00:28:46Now,

00:28:47move aside,

00:28:48mutt.

00:28:51What did you just say?

00:28:53Paige steps forward

00:28:54to push me.

00:28:55I'm not going to warn you twice.

00:28:57Hands to yourselves.

00:29:02Catherine!

00:29:03You can't just touch

00:29:04people like that!

00:29:05Jolene,

00:29:06keep your little gang

00:29:07in check.

00:29:07If they open their mouths

00:29:08like that again,

00:29:09next time won't be so friendly.

00:29:11Watch your tone.

00:29:13You're messing with

00:29:14the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:17The Brown family?

00:29:19That's your problem,

00:29:21not mine.

00:29:22Stop pretending.

00:29:24It's pathetic.

00:29:25I turn and walk away.

00:29:34I return to the Warren mansion

00:29:35and find Liam in the living room.

00:29:39You were out?

00:29:41Yeah.

00:29:42I stopped by

00:29:43Aurelius University

00:29:44to check in.

00:29:45Also took a look

00:29:46at a new place

00:29:47while I was out.

00:29:48You're moving out?

00:29:50Yeah.

00:29:51Staying here long term

00:29:52isn't practical.

00:29:53Your treatment

00:29:53has leveled out.

00:29:54It won't interfere

00:29:55with your progress.

00:29:56Where's the new place?

00:29:57I offer the building

00:29:58and unit number

00:29:59of Sterling Haven

00:30:00without hesitation.

00:30:02Then I prepare

00:30:03a medicinal shower.

00:30:04The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:07A thin mist

00:30:08curling through the room.

00:30:11It's ready?

00:30:12Liam walks

00:30:13toward the treatment area,

00:30:14unbuttoning his shirt

00:30:16as he moves.

00:30:17His long fingers

00:30:18loosen the fabric,

00:30:20revealing toned muscles

00:30:21and defined contours.

00:30:25take the pants off too.

00:30:30What's the matter?

00:30:31Feeling shy now?

00:30:32After some hesitation,

00:30:34Liam strips down

00:30:35to his briefs

00:30:36and eases himself

00:30:37into the steaming water.

00:30:39Though composed

00:30:40moments ago,

00:30:41my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:43It's not like

00:30:44this is the first time

00:30:45I've treated him.

00:30:46Why am I so flustered?

00:30:49Get it together, Catherine.

00:30:51You're a doctor.

00:30:52Stay professional.

00:30:53Don't let a handsome face

00:30:54and a good body

00:30:55throw you off.

00:30:57The next day,

00:30:58I head to the lab

00:30:59to find Lambert.

00:31:02Perfect timing.

00:31:03I've been wrestling

00:31:03with this data all morning.

00:31:05Come check this out.

00:31:10The two of us

00:31:11slip effortlessly

00:31:12into a heated discussion.

00:31:22Professor Carter,

00:31:23sorry to interrupt,

00:31:24but there's something

00:31:24I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:26If you have something to say,

00:31:27just say it.

00:31:29Professor,

00:31:30I know you prize real skill,

00:31:32but Kathleen is not

00:31:33who you think she is.

00:31:34She never attended

00:31:35a proper university.

00:31:36How could she grasp

00:31:37complex medical research?

00:31:39I'm afraid you're being deceived.

00:31:41Enough!

00:31:42Jolene,

00:31:43I don't know what you're trying

00:31:44to do with these accusations,

00:31:46but I've seen enough

00:31:47to know true talent

00:31:48when it's in front of me.

00:31:49Catherine identified the error

00:31:51the moment she looked at it.

00:31:52Most PhD candidates

00:31:54wouldn't even catch this mistake

00:31:55the first time around.

00:31:56Tell me,

00:31:57how could anyone possibly

00:31:59fake that level of understanding?

00:32:05Professor Carter,

00:32:07I...

00:32:07I know true talent

00:32:08when I see it.

00:32:09I don't need your commentary.

00:32:12Now,

00:32:13please step outside.

00:32:22In that moment,

00:32:23I knew I'd found someone

00:32:25who saw me,

00:32:26not the lies

00:32:27they spread about me.

00:32:35Hey,

00:32:36I'm Catherine Brown.

00:32:38Just as I walked

00:32:39into the classroom

00:32:40and took my seat,

00:32:40I noticed the girl

00:32:42next to me,

00:32:43her cheek marked

00:32:44by a dark birthmark.

00:32:47Hi,

00:32:47I'm Claudia Norris.

00:32:54Well, well,

00:32:55what do we have here?

00:32:56One caught attention

00:32:57by pure chance

00:32:58and the other...

00:32:59Well,

00:33:00the problem's pretty obvious.

00:33:01The snickling spread

00:33:02through the classroom

00:33:03in an instant.

00:33:04Every gaze nailed

00:33:05onto the two of us.

00:33:06Oh, come on, everyone.

00:33:08Don't be so harsh.

00:33:10Professor Carter

00:33:11thinks the world

00:33:12of Catherine.

00:33:15So she's really

00:33:16riding Professor Carter's

00:33:17coattails

00:33:17to get into med school?

00:33:18How pathetic.

00:33:20Oh, wow.

00:33:22Catherine,

00:33:22your shoes!

00:33:23They're the exact same

00:33:24as Jolene's!

00:33:25Come on, Catherine.

00:33:27You actually showed up

00:33:28wearing fake shoes?

00:33:29That's bold.

00:33:33Still,

00:33:34it's embarrassing as hell.

00:33:40All eyes

00:33:42in that instant

00:33:43were pinned

00:33:43on my feet.

00:33:46I feel like being judged

00:33:48in a high society party.

00:33:50The murmur

00:33:51in the room

00:33:52quickly grows

00:33:53into a loud buzz.

00:33:54Most of them

00:33:55were convinced

00:33:56the shoes on my feet

00:33:57were fake.

00:33:59Hey, Catherine,

00:34:00if you like those shoes,

00:34:02I don't mind

00:34:02lending you mine.

00:34:03Wearing fakes

00:34:04is bad.

00:34:06Thanks,

00:34:07but I'm pretty selective.

00:34:08I don't wear

00:34:09other people's shoes.

00:34:11Besides,

00:34:12we still don't actually

00:34:13know who's rocking

00:34:14the fakes,

00:34:15do we?

00:34:16I slowed my movements

00:34:18deliberately,

00:34:19lifted my foot,

00:34:20and aimed the heel

00:34:21straight at the crowd.

00:34:23Is that real?

00:34:24Of course.

00:34:25Here's what I know.

00:34:26Every pair designed

00:34:28by Future's lead designer,

00:34:29Alan Lewis,

00:34:31comes with a unique

00:34:32serial number,

00:34:33and the designer's

00:34:35initials.

00:34:36AL engraved

00:34:37on the inside heel.

00:34:38It can't be.

00:34:39But it is.

00:34:44Jolene,

00:34:44why don't you have

00:34:45a look inside

00:34:46your own heel?

00:34:47I'm not scared!

00:34:49She raises her foot

00:34:49and turns the inside

00:34:50of the heel

00:34:51toward everyone.

00:34:52It's empty.

00:34:56Impossible!

00:34:57My shoes are real!

00:34:59The marks are just

00:35:00worn down from use!

00:35:01You can barely

00:35:02see it now!

00:35:03Oh really?

00:35:05Future's anti-counterfeit

00:35:06system is one of the

00:35:07most advanced in the world.

00:35:09Unless the shoes

00:35:10are completely wrecked,

00:35:11the serial number

00:35:12doesn't just disappear.

00:35:14Want to check right now?

00:35:15No!

00:35:15That won't be necessary!

00:35:17I must have just

00:35:17made a mistake!

00:35:19You wanted to embarrass

00:35:21me in front of everyone?

00:35:22Jolene,

00:35:23you seem to forget.

00:35:25What I do best

00:35:26is tear apart

00:35:27cheap facades

00:35:28like yours.

00:35:28After school,

00:35:30Jolene storms out

00:35:31of campus,

00:35:31fuming.

00:35:33Austin is there

00:35:33to pick her up.

00:35:39Jolene,

00:35:40what's going on?

00:35:41Did someone

00:35:41mess with you?

00:35:42Austin!

00:35:43Those limited edition

00:35:44shoes you got for me?

00:35:47Catherine showed up

00:35:48wearing the exact

00:35:49same pair

00:35:50and accused mine

00:35:51of being fake!

00:35:53Showtime.

00:35:59Catherine,

00:36:06What gives you

00:36:07the right to accuse

00:36:08Jolene's shoes

00:36:09of be fake?

00:36:14Just take the shoes

00:36:15to the store

00:36:15for verification.

00:36:17Verify them?

00:36:17Who do you think

00:36:18you are?

00:36:19Who are you?

00:36:27Lucky for me,

00:36:29Future's Black Gold

00:36:30members get

00:36:30priority verification.

00:36:33The Future Black

00:36:34card?

00:36:35How the hell

00:36:36does she have that?

00:36:37Austin,

00:36:37let's just get

00:36:38this over with!

00:36:45No,

00:36:46forget it.

00:36:46This isn't worth

00:36:46the headache.

00:36:47Let's just go home.

00:37:03What's going on here?

00:37:07Liam gets out

00:37:07of the car,

00:37:08moving with authority.

00:37:14They look at him

00:37:15nervously,

00:37:16like rats

00:37:16looking at a cat.

00:37:19Mr. Warren!

00:37:20Is everything

00:37:21alright?

00:37:23Mr. Warren,

00:37:24it's nothing serious.

00:37:25Catherine just

00:37:26insisted my shoes

00:37:27weren't real.

00:37:32Do you need

00:37:33any help?

00:37:34No,

00:37:34it's fine.

00:37:35Nothing to worry about.

00:37:37Mr. Warren,

00:37:38this is a private

00:37:40family matter.

00:37:41Family matter?

00:37:42If Catherine's

00:37:43involved,

00:37:44it's my business

00:37:46too.

00:37:49Let's go.

00:37:51Dinner's waiting.

00:37:58Your turn is over.

00:38:00Fake shoes

00:38:01always end up

00:38:02rubbing the heel

00:38:03raw.

00:38:03You might want

00:38:04to change yours.

00:38:14I feel a quiet thrill

00:38:15of satisfaction.

00:38:17You thought you

00:38:17could humiliate me

00:38:18with fake shoes?

00:38:19Look how that

00:38:20backfired.

00:38:22Back in the

00:38:23Brown family,

00:38:24I always had to

00:38:25bite my tongue

00:38:25and step aside.

00:38:28Now,

00:38:28with Liam

00:38:29backing me up,

00:38:31I have nothing

00:38:32to fear.

00:38:42The next afternoon,

00:38:44I wheel a small

00:38:45suitcase to my new

00:38:46home,

00:38:47Sterling Haven.

00:38:48Just as I step

00:38:49out of the car,

00:38:51Catherine?

00:38:51a familiar voice

00:38:53calls out behind me.

00:38:55I turn and see

00:38:56Declan and Jolene

00:38:57standing not far

00:38:58away.

00:39:00What's going on

00:39:01here?

00:39:01Why are you at

00:39:02this place?

00:39:03Catherine,

00:39:04why are you

00:39:05hauling a suitcase

00:39:06here?

00:39:06Are you sure you

00:39:07haven't gotten

00:39:08the wrong place?

00:39:09This is Sterling Haven.

00:39:11If you don't want

00:39:12the security guards

00:39:12kicking you out,

00:39:13you better leave.

00:39:15I live here,

00:39:16so yeah,

00:39:17I'm pretty sure

00:39:17I know my own

00:39:17address.

00:39:18Your home?

00:39:19Wait,

00:39:20are you working

00:39:21here?

00:39:22Like,

00:39:22on the staff?

00:39:22I can't help

00:39:23but laugh.

00:39:24Jolene,

00:39:25your imagination

00:39:26is wild.

00:39:27So tell me,

00:39:28what about you two?

00:39:29Are you here

00:39:30to apply for

00:39:31janitor or

00:39:31security jobs?

00:39:33Declan and I

00:39:33are here,

00:39:34looking for a

00:39:35place to settle

00:39:36down.

00:39:36Our wedding

00:39:37apartment,

00:39:38actually.

00:39:39I calmly reach

00:39:40into my bag

00:39:41and pull out

00:39:42an access card,

00:39:45tapping it

00:39:46against the

00:39:46reader.

00:39:50A beep

00:39:51confirms access.

00:39:54Declan and

00:39:55Jolene

00:39:55freeze in

00:39:56shock.

00:40:00Just moved

00:40:00into Sterling Haven

00:40:01and the

00:40:02silence of the

00:40:03night

00:40:03was shattered.

00:40:06There's a race

00:40:07tomorrow evening.

00:40:08The prize is

00:40:09huge.

00:40:09Feeling the

00:40:10itch?

00:40:11Who's

00:40:12racing?

00:40:13The same

00:40:14arrogant group

00:40:15of wealthy

00:40:15young men.

00:40:16They've been

00:40:17throwing challenges

00:40:18at Evora.

00:40:20Oh,

00:40:21and the

00:40:22Brown family

00:40:22will be there

00:40:22too.

00:40:24What's the

00:40:24prize?

00:40:26A million

00:40:26dollars,

00:40:27plus a

00:40:28limited edition

00:40:28sports car.

00:40:30Send me

00:40:30the details.

00:40:33Since they're

00:40:34throwing themselves

00:40:34at me,

00:40:35I see no

00:40:35reason to

00:40:36refuse.

00:40:40Four in the

00:40:41afternoon,

00:40:41I drive

00:40:42towards the

00:40:43racetrack in

00:40:43the suburb.

00:40:58I sign

00:40:59that name.

00:41:00The one

00:41:01they both

00:41:01dread and

00:41:02go mad

00:41:03over.

00:41:07Oh,

00:41:08it's

00:41:08Evora!

00:41:09Our idol

00:41:10Evora has

00:41:11arrived!

00:41:14Evora?

00:41:15It's probably

00:41:15just someone

00:41:16pretending.

00:41:21She wouldn't

00:41:22show up for

00:41:22a small race

00:41:23like this.

00:41:31Just then,

00:41:32that flashy

00:41:33blue GTR

00:41:34pulled up

00:41:35right in

00:41:35front of

00:41:35me.

00:41:39Catherine?

00:41:40What are

00:41:41you doing

00:41:41here?

00:41:42This isn't

00:41:43a playground

00:41:43for careless

00:41:44drivers.

00:41:47If trash

00:41:48like you

00:41:48is allowed

00:41:49here,

00:41:50why shouldn't

00:41:51I be?

00:41:55Explain

00:41:55yourself!

00:41:59As if

00:42:00I'm going

00:42:01to.

00:42:04As expected,

00:42:05he got angry

00:42:06out of

00:42:06embarrassment,

00:42:07resorting to

00:42:07such underhanded,

00:42:08pathetic tactics.

00:42:10But he can't

00:42:11touch me.

00:42:12laying hands

00:42:13on someone

00:42:13in public?

00:42:14That's a

00:42:15bad look.

00:42:16Let go!

00:42:16Don't you

00:42:17know who

00:42:17I am?

00:42:21Whoever

00:42:22you are,

00:42:23if you

00:42:23touch

00:42:23Catherine

00:42:23again,

00:42:25you'll

00:42:26regret it.

00:42:29We'll

00:42:29settle this

00:42:30on the

00:42:30race course.

00:42:32Hopefully

00:42:32you don't

00:42:32crash out

00:42:33in the

00:42:33first round.

00:42:35The signal

00:42:36light blinks

00:42:37on and

00:42:38the five

00:42:38engines roar

00:42:39to life.

00:42:39The green

00:42:40light flashes

00:42:40and

00:42:45unlike anything

00:42:46he's ever

00:42:48The next

00:42:48stretch of

00:52:42It's just

00:52:44wipe and

00:52:45you'll be

00:52:45fine.

00:52:45Jolene's

00:52:46screams.

00:52:49Catherine.

00:52:50What on

00:52:50earth are

00:52:51you doing?

00:52:52Are you

00:52:52crazy?

00:52:53Anne steps

00:52:54out of the

00:52:54fitting room

00:52:54and gasps

00:52:55at Jolene's

00:52:56appearance.

00:53:02Jolene!

00:53:03What on

00:53:04earth happened

00:53:04to you?

00:53:06Mom,

00:53:07it's all

00:53:07my fault.

00:53:08I accidentally

00:53:09spilled coffee

00:53:10on Catherine's

00:53:11dress.

00:53:11I've already

00:53:12paid her

00:53:13back,

00:53:13but she's

00:53:14acting like

00:53:15it's not

00:53:15enough?

00:53:21Catherine,

00:53:22why are you

00:53:22picking on

00:53:23Jolene again?

00:53:26Anne pulls

00:53:27a thick

00:53:27wad of

00:53:28cash from

00:53:28her purse.

00:53:30Catherine,

00:53:31don't push

00:53:32this further.

00:53:33If it's

00:53:33money you

00:53:34want,

00:53:34apologize

00:53:35to Jolene.

00:53:36Not nearly

00:53:37enough.

00:53:39Yes,

00:53:40this is our

00:53:40anniversary

00:53:41edition.

00:53:41It retails

00:53:42for $180,000

00:53:44and is

00:53:44completely

00:53:45sold out.

00:53:46Either pay

00:53:46me three

00:53:47times its

00:53:47value,

00:53:48or I'll

00:53:49report this

00:53:50as intentional

00:53:51property damage

00:53:52to the police.

00:53:53Who said

00:53:54we wouldn't

00:53:54compensate?

00:53:55She reluctantly

00:53:56writes a check.

00:53:57Thank you.

00:53:59Take it.

00:54:00This is like

00:54:01burning money.

00:54:02Next time,

00:54:03I won't bother

00:54:03negotiating.

00:54:04I'll go

00:54:05straight to the

00:54:05police.

00:54:06I feel

00:54:06a deep

00:54:07satisfying

00:54:08pleasure.

00:54:09$540,000.

00:54:10That's going

00:54:11to sting

00:54:11for a while.

00:54:12Back in the

00:54:13Brown family,

00:54:14I let you

00:54:14walk all

00:54:15over me.

00:54:15I swallowed

00:54:16every insult.

00:54:17Not anymore.

00:54:18From now

00:54:19on,

00:54:19every single

00:54:20debt gets

00:54:21paid back

00:54:22with interest.

00:54:23After the

00:54:23meal,

00:54:24I wave

00:54:24goodbye to

00:54:25Claudian at

00:54:25the restaurant's

00:54:26entrance.

00:54:31I've only

00:54:32walked a

00:54:32short distance

00:54:33when a

00:54:33terrified

00:54:34scream cuts

00:54:35through the

00:54:35air.

00:54:37Someone help!

00:54:39Is there a

00:54:40doctor here?

00:54:40I turn

00:54:41towards the

00:54:41commotion and

00:54:42see a well-dressed

00:54:43woman kneeling

00:54:44beside an

00:54:45elderly woman

00:54:45who has

00:54:46collapsed.

00:54:47I push

00:54:48through the

00:54:48crowd and

00:54:48kneel down

00:54:49to examine

00:54:50her.

00:54:54Ma'am,

00:54:55don't panic.

00:54:56Does she

00:54:56have a history

00:54:57of heart

00:54:57disease?

00:54:58Yes.

00:54:59She has

00:55:00coronary heart

00:55:01disease.

00:55:03I reach

00:55:04into my

00:55:04bag,

00:55:05and pull

00:55:05out a

00:55:06small

00:55:06bottle

00:55:06of

00:55:07nitroglycerin

00:55:07pills.

00:55:08I slide

00:55:09a tablet

00:55:10under her

00:55:10tongue

00:55:11and begin

00:55:11CPR.

00:55:24After

00:55:25several

00:55:25long

00:55:26minutes,

00:55:27the elderly

00:55:27woman lets

00:55:28out a faint

00:55:29groan.

00:55:31Paramedics

00:55:32arrive and

00:55:32take over.

00:55:34very

00:55:35professional.

00:55:36You've

00:55:36brought us

00:55:37precious

00:55:37time.

00:55:39Which

00:55:39hospital do

00:55:40you work

00:55:40at?

00:55:40I have

00:55:41to thank

00:55:41you

00:55:41properly.

00:55:47I'm

00:55:47still a

00:55:48student.

00:55:48Helping

00:55:49people is

00:55:49just something

00:55:50I have

00:55:50to do.

00:55:56I quietly

00:55:57gather my

00:55:58things and

00:55:59slip away

00:55:59while the

00:56:00crowd watches

00:56:00with admiration.

00:56:02The next

00:56:02morning,

00:56:03I intentionally

00:56:04leave home

00:56:04early,

00:56:05but the

00:56:05Browns are

00:56:06already lying

00:56:07in wait

00:56:07at the

00:56:07school

00:56:08entrance.

00:56:10Catherine!

00:56:13Jolene

00:56:13plunges to

00:56:14hug me,

00:56:15but I

00:56:15smoothly

00:56:15dodge

00:56:16her.

00:56:17Catherine,

00:56:18come home

00:56:19with me.

00:56:20Your

00:56:20grandmother's

00:56:21back and

00:56:21wants to

00:56:22see you.

00:56:26Sorry,

00:56:26but I

00:56:27don't really

00:56:27know you

00:56:27people.

00:56:28We don't

00:56:28have time

00:56:29for your

00:56:29nonsense.

00:56:30You're

00:56:30coming home

00:56:31with us

00:56:31today.

00:56:34Since

00:56:35it's the

00:56:35busiest

00:56:36time for

00:56:36students

00:56:36arriving,

00:56:37a bunch

00:56:38of curious

00:56:39students have

00:56:39already

00:56:40stopped

00:56:40to watch.

00:56:43a sleek

00:56:44black

00:56:44Bentley

00:56:45eases to

00:56:45a stop

00:56:46right beside

00:56:46us.

00:56:47The window

00:56:48lowers smoothly

00:56:49and Liam's

00:56:50sharply

00:56:50contoured

00:56:51face comes

00:56:51into view.

00:56:55Catherine,

00:56:56get in

00:56:56the car.

00:57:01I've got

00:57:02class in a

00:57:03few minutes.

00:57:03What brings

00:57:04you here so

00:57:04early?

00:57:07They didn't

00:57:08bother you,

00:57:08did they?

00:57:08No.

00:57:09They're

00:57:10irrelevant.

00:57:11I'm heading

00:57:11in.

00:57:15And without

00:57:15waiting for

00:57:16his response,

00:57:17I simply

00:57:17turn and

00:57:18leave.

00:57:21The browns

00:57:22erupt the

00:57:23moment I

00:57:23brush past

00:57:24them like

00:57:24they're

00:57:25strangers on

00:57:25the street.

00:57:26Are we

00:57:27seriously

00:57:27letting that

00:57:28girl walk

00:57:28all over

00:57:29us?

00:57:30She might

00:57:31ignore us,

00:57:32but someone

00:57:32else can get

00:57:33through to

00:57:33her.

00:57:34She won't

00:57:34dare skip

00:57:35her grandmother's

00:57:36birthday banquet.

00:57:39she'll show

00:57:40up for

00:57:40that.

00:57:41After my

00:57:41classes wrap

00:57:42up, I

00:57:43head home,

00:57:43ready to

00:57:44relax, until

00:57:45my phone

00:57:45starts buzzing

00:57:46in my pocket.

00:57:50Catherine,

00:57:51I'm sending

00:57:51you an

00:57:52address, come

00:57:52eat with

00:57:53us.

00:57:53They've got

00:57:53all your

00:57:54favorites, and

00:57:55there's a

00:57:55surprise for

00:57:56you too.

00:57:56I hop into

00:57:57a cab, take

00:57:58the elevator

00:57:59up, and

00:58:00text Jared.

00:58:03Which room

00:58:04are you guys

00:58:04in?

00:58:06The elevator

00:58:06doors slide

00:58:07open, and

00:58:08I walk

00:58:08out, my

00:58:09eyes glued

00:58:10to my

00:58:10phone.

00:58:12Before I

00:58:13can take

00:58:13two steps, a

00:58:14hand suddenly

00:58:15pulls me

00:58:16aside.

00:58:16So this

00:58:17is who you

00:58:18really are?

00:58:18Waiting all

00:58:19this time just

00:58:20to pull

00:58:20this?

00:58:21You followed

00:58:22me here?

00:58:22Declan, of

00:58:24course.

00:58:24What?

00:58:25Touched a

00:58:26nerve?

00:58:27You show up

00:58:27where I hang

00:58:28out hoping I'll

00:58:28notice you

00:58:29again?

00:58:30Catherine, you

00:58:32really haven't

00:58:32changed.

00:58:33Still using

00:58:34the same

00:58:34desperate

00:58:35tricks.

00:58:35Isn't

00:58:35she that

00:58:35brown family

00:58:36daughter?

00:58:36The one

00:58:37they recently

00:58:37reclaimed?

00:58:38Yep.

00:58:38Looks like

00:58:39she's still

00:58:39running after

00:58:39Declan like

00:58:40always.

00:58:40Declan, drop

00:58:41the ego.

00:58:41I'm here for

00:58:42someone else.

00:58:42You don't

00:58:43even make

00:58:43the top

00:58:43hundred.

00:58:44Stop acting

00:58:44like the

00:58:45world revolves

00:58:45around you.

00:58:48Aha, so I

00:58:48got to you.

00:58:49That's why

00:58:50you're biting

00:58:50back?

00:58:51Do me a favor

00:58:52and stay away.

00:58:53I don't want

00:58:54anyone assuming

00:58:55we have

00:58:55history.

00:58:58I stride

00:58:59toward the

00:58:59highest tier

00:59:00private suite

00:59:00without looking

00:59:01back.

00:59:09whoa, what

00:59:11happened to

00:59:11you?

00:59:15I'm fine.

00:59:25Catherine, wait

00:59:27till you see

00:59:27this.

00:59:37Hold on.

00:59:39Is that...

00:59:40Yep.

00:59:40The one from

00:59:41the Veritas

00:59:42auction last

00:59:42month.

00:59:43You kept

00:59:43staring at it,

00:59:45so I figured

00:59:45I'd just buy

00:59:46the damn

00:59:46thing for you.

00:59:48Thanks,

00:59:48Gerald.

00:59:49Hey, don't

00:59:50go formal

00:59:50on me.

00:59:52Something like

00:59:52this deserves

00:59:53an owner

00:59:53who actually

00:59:54gets it.

01:00:21Catherine,

01:00:22I heard you

01:00:22moved out.

01:00:23Did something

01:00:24happen?

01:00:25Did the

01:00:25Browns push

01:00:26you too

01:00:26far again?

01:00:27I'm fine,

01:00:28Auntie.

01:00:28I left on

01:00:29my own

01:00:29terms.

01:00:30Your

01:00:31grandmother

01:00:31returned.

01:00:32You heard?

01:00:34Her

01:00:35birthday banquet

01:00:35is next

01:00:36week.

01:00:37She actually

01:00:38called me

01:00:38earlier and

01:00:39told me to

01:00:39ask you

01:00:39to come.

01:00:41Auntie,

01:00:42I'm no

01:00:42longer part

01:00:43of the

01:00:43Brown family.

01:00:45Catherine,

01:00:45please.

01:00:46She's getting

01:00:47older.

01:00:48Just give

01:00:48her this

01:00:49one courtesy.

01:00:50All right.

01:00:52I'll show

01:00:52up on time.

01:00:53I exhale

01:00:54slowly.

01:00:55So this is

01:00:55happening.

01:00:56No dodging it

01:00:57now.

01:00:57My eyes move

01:00:58back to the gemstone

01:00:59in its wooden

01:00:59box.

01:01:00It would make a

01:01:01clean, elegant

01:01:02birthday gift.

01:01:03The night of

01:01:04Analia's birthday

01:01:05banquet has come.

01:01:06The brown estate

01:01:07glows with

01:01:08extravagant

01:01:09decorations.

01:01:12I stroll in

01:01:14wearing simple,

01:01:15casual clothes.

01:01:16Jolene drifts

01:01:17gracefully through

01:01:18the guests in a

01:01:19blush pink

01:01:19couture gown.

01:01:21Low whispers

01:01:22swirl around the

01:01:23gathered guests

01:01:24about how shabby

01:01:24I look.

01:01:26Lawrence's and

01:01:27Anna's expressions

01:01:28grow cold and

01:01:29tense.

01:01:30Isn't that the

01:01:30one who broke

01:01:31ties with the

01:01:31Browns?

01:01:32And she just

01:01:33shows up to

01:01:33grandma's birthday

01:01:34like that?

01:01:37Wild or not,

01:01:38she's stunning.

01:01:41Those sharp

01:01:42features and

01:01:43that presence

01:01:43can't be ignored.

01:01:45Jolene steps

01:01:45forward, her

01:01:46smile dazzling

01:01:47and perfectly

01:01:48practiced.

01:01:49Grandma, happy

01:01:51birthday!

01:01:51I know how much

01:01:52you adore gemstones,

01:01:54so I asked the

01:01:55auction house to

01:01:55find something

01:01:56really special for

01:01:57you.

01:01:57A rare warm

01:01:58gem.

01:02:03And you,

01:02:04Catherine?

01:02:05What did you

01:02:06bring?

01:02:07I reach into my

01:02:08black bag and

01:02:09pull out a small

01:02:10wooden box.

01:02:12As I open the

01:02:13lid, the room

01:02:14falls deathly

01:02:15silent.

01:02:16Nestled inside is

01:02:18another gemstone.

01:02:20Huh?

01:02:22To give grandma

01:02:23a fake?

01:02:24That's just

01:02:24disrespectful.

01:02:26Catherine?

01:02:27Fake?

01:02:28Catherine,

01:02:29don't you realize

01:02:30how humiliating

01:02:31this is for our

01:02:32family?

01:02:34Amid the crowd's

01:02:35murmurs and

01:02:36accusations, I

01:02:37stay composed.

01:02:44You say mine's a

01:02:45fake?

01:02:46On what proof?

01:02:47Maybe yours is the

01:02:48counterfeit.

01:02:49Isn't it obvious?

01:02:51This gem is

01:02:52incredibly rare.

01:02:54There can't be two

01:02:55exactly the same.

01:02:59Mine's been

01:03:00unauthenticated by

01:03:01several experts.

01:03:02It's the real deal.

01:03:04A knowing smile

01:03:05curves my lips

01:03:06as I bring my gem

01:03:08up and lightly

01:03:09press it against

01:03:09an Aaliyah's wrist.

01:03:11This is it!

01:03:13They say a genuine

01:03:15warm gem changes

01:03:16color depending on

01:03:16its wearer's vitality.

01:03:18It's a unique,

01:03:19almost magical

01:03:19trait.

01:03:21Why don't we test

01:03:22Jolene's gem

01:03:23the same way?

01:03:26She tried to pin

01:03:27it on Catherine

01:03:27when it was her

01:03:28own gift that was

01:03:29false.

01:03:29That's impossible!

01:03:31I paid 10 million

01:03:32for this at the

01:03:32luxurious auction

01:03:33house!

01:03:34I even have the

01:03:35receipt and

01:03:36certificate to prove

01:03:37it!

01:03:37Pulling out her

01:03:38phone, she quickly

01:03:39dials the number.

01:03:40What she hears makes

01:03:41her eyes widened

01:03:42in shock.

01:03:42Just then, someone

01:03:44glances at their

01:03:44phone and blurts out,

01:03:46The luxurious auction

01:03:47house director got

01:03:47hooked on gambling.

01:03:50Jolene stumbles

01:03:51backward, dropping

01:03:53her phone with a

01:03:53loud clatter.

01:03:55Today is my

01:03:56birthday celebration.

01:03:57Let's put an end

01:03:58to this now.

01:03:59Jolene acted with

01:04:00good intentions but

01:04:01was misled.

01:04:02For the very first

01:04:03time, Anala looks

01:04:05at me without that

01:04:05usual air of

01:04:07disappointment.

01:04:10You know,

01:04:11Catherine, I

01:04:12actually like this.

01:04:17Jolene bites down

01:04:18hard on her lower

01:04:19lip.

01:04:20Her nails digging

01:04:21into her palm,

01:04:22Justine approaches

01:04:23me.

01:04:26Catherine, I'm

01:04:27sorry about

01:04:27everything that

01:04:28went down earlier.

01:04:30I'm okay.

01:04:31You only stop

01:04:32feeling hurt when

01:04:33you stop expecting

01:04:34anything from

01:04:34anyone.

01:04:37Not long after,

01:04:39friends call

01:04:39Justine away.

01:04:41A maid makes

01:04:42her way around,

01:04:43offering champagne.

01:04:44when she gets to

01:04:45me, I decline.

01:04:48The maid hurries

01:04:49away and comes

01:04:50back moments later,

01:04:51folding a glass of

01:04:52juice.

01:04:53I study the juice

01:04:54for a moment.

01:04:55I lift the glass and

01:04:56drink it down in one

01:04:57steady guilt.

01:04:58A few minutes pass

01:04:59before the same maid

01:05:01shows up again.

01:05:02I'm so, so sorry.

01:05:04I didn't mean for this

01:05:05to happen.

01:05:06She slips, and the

01:05:08entire drink splashes

01:05:09across my outfit.

01:05:12Catherine, I'm really

01:05:13sorry.

01:05:13The staff can be a bit

01:05:14careless.

01:05:15Why don't you slip into

01:05:16one of my dresses?

01:05:17I've got tons upstairs.

01:05:18You can use the guest room

01:05:19to change.

01:05:19Wow.

01:05:20The rules in this house

01:05:21are intriguing,

01:05:21to say the least.

01:05:22I hear every bit

01:05:23of the sarcasm.

01:05:24Sophia is practically

01:05:25mocking Jolene,

01:05:27who acts like she

01:05:27owns the place.

01:05:28The maid exhales,

01:05:30relieved beyond measure,

01:05:31and hurries forward.

01:05:32I start after her,

01:05:33but pause to throw

01:05:34Jolene one last look.

01:05:36The maid leads me

01:05:38far inside the mansion,

01:05:39to a guest room.

01:05:40As soon as she leaves,

01:05:42the door shuts quietly,

01:05:43and I hear the lock

01:05:44slide into place.

01:05:47I go over to check

01:05:48the window,

01:05:49but it's stuck tight,

01:05:50probably locked

01:05:51from the outside.

01:05:53A strange warmth

01:05:54begins spreading

01:05:55under my skin.

01:05:56I take a steady breath,

01:05:57pull a small ceramic

01:05:59file from my pocket,

01:06:00and swallow an antidote.

01:06:02I had drunk

01:06:03the tampered juice

01:06:04simply because I wanted

01:06:06to see the full extent

01:06:07of Jolene's trap.

01:06:12A few moments later,

01:06:14I hear faint,

01:06:15uneven footsteps

01:06:16outside the door.

01:06:17I lay down on the bed,

01:06:19completely still and quiet.

01:06:22The door creaks open slowly.

01:06:27Getting impatient, huh?

01:06:29Don't worry, sweetheart.

01:06:31I'll take real good care of you.

01:06:33But suddenly,

01:06:34my eyes snap wide open.

01:06:39The scream tears from him.

01:06:41He crumples to the floor

01:06:43in an instant,

01:06:44folding over and wrigling

01:06:46on the carpet.

01:06:48I calmly step over him

01:06:49and shut the door behind me.

01:06:51I ease into the corner

01:06:52just outside,

01:06:53ready to watch.

01:06:54Not long after,

01:06:55Jolene appears,

01:06:57sneaking cautiously

01:06:59down the hall.

01:07:01She presses her ear

01:07:03against the door,

01:07:04then pulls it wide open.

01:07:14She barely has time

01:07:15to registrate it

01:07:16before the man

01:07:17lunges at her.

01:07:21Stay away!

01:07:22Get off me!

01:07:23Man,

01:07:24pretty girl.

01:07:25The other one

01:07:26took a heap,

01:07:26but you?

01:07:27You'll do just fine.

01:07:29Don't you dare touch me.

01:07:30I'm a brown.

01:07:32Touch me

01:07:32and you're dead.

01:07:36Oh man,

01:07:37yeah?

01:07:38That just makes it

01:07:39way more interesting.

01:07:41Ah!

01:07:43Help!

01:07:44Let me go!

01:07:47After closing

01:07:48the door behind me,

01:07:49I calmly make my way

01:07:51back to the banquet hall.

01:07:53Sophia,

01:07:53who had earlier

01:07:54stood by my side,

01:07:55approaches with a warm smile

01:07:57and extends her hand.

01:07:58I'm Sophia Flynn.

01:07:59How about we get

01:08:00better acquainted?

01:08:02Catherine Brown,

01:08:03it's a pleasure to meet you.

01:08:04About 15 minutes later,

01:08:06a sudden disturbance

01:08:07breaks out

01:08:07outside the banquet hall.

01:08:09The crowd moves

01:08:10towards the guest room.

01:08:13As they get closer,

01:08:14heavy breathing

01:08:15and a woman's

01:08:16desperate screams

01:08:17reach their ears.

01:08:21Anne's face

01:08:22drains of color.

01:08:23What are you waiting for?

01:08:25Get that door down now!

01:08:27A few strong servants

01:08:28step up

01:08:29and smash the door open.

01:08:31Inside,

01:08:31the shocking scene

01:08:32unfolds

01:08:33for everyone to see.

01:08:36Jolene,

01:08:37her hair mussy

01:08:38and clothes rumpled,

01:08:39is pinned down

01:08:40by an unfamiliar man.

01:08:41Seeing the crowd

01:08:42at the doorway,

01:08:44she breaks down

01:08:44in tears.

01:08:45Mom!

01:08:46It was Catherine!

01:08:47She tricked me!

01:08:48She planned all of this!

01:08:53Despite the accusations,

01:08:54I don't flinch.

01:08:56Jolene,

01:08:56where are you

01:08:57getting this from?

01:08:58The maid ruined my dress

01:08:59and you sent her

01:09:00to fetch me some clothes.

01:09:01But I waited ages

01:09:02and no one came,

01:09:03so I left.

01:09:04When I left,

01:09:05the room was empty.

01:09:06I have no idea

01:09:07how you ended up here.

01:09:08How could you be

01:09:10so heartless?

01:09:11Jolene is your sister!

01:09:14I was with Miss Flynn

01:09:15in the banquet hall

01:09:16the entire time.

01:09:17Many guests

01:09:18can vouch for that.

01:09:19How can you stoop

01:09:20to such tactics?

01:09:23Regarding Jolene,

01:09:24we'll have a chance

01:09:25to question the man

01:09:26soon enough.

01:09:30What happened today

01:09:31was a private family matter.

01:09:32Anyone who breathes

01:09:33a word of it

01:09:34will be making

01:09:35an enemy

01:09:35of the Brown family.

01:09:36Anne grabs

01:09:37her trembling daughter

01:09:38and practically

01:09:39drags Jolene out.

01:09:40The man is also

01:09:41hauled away.

01:09:48What a night.

01:09:49You handled that

01:09:50like a pro.

01:09:53It was simply

01:09:54responding to

01:09:55what she started.

01:09:56If she had stayed

01:09:57in her lane,

01:09:58none of this

01:09:58would have happened.

01:10:00Time after time,

01:10:01Jolene tried

01:10:02to set me up.

01:10:02Did she really think

01:10:04I was still

01:10:04the same Catherine

01:10:05who'd just take it

01:10:06lying down?

01:10:07What happened tonight?

01:10:09She brought it

01:10:10on herself.

01:10:12Morning sunlight

01:10:12pours in through

01:10:13the large window,

01:10:14casting soft highlights

01:10:15across his sharp jawline.

01:10:17Mr. Warren.

01:10:18Morning.

01:10:19Let's get started.

01:10:20Without hesitation,

01:10:21he reaches for the buttons

01:10:22of his shirt

01:10:23and pulls it up,

01:10:23exposing his bare chest.

01:10:25I slip into

01:10:26professional mode,

01:10:27pick up my medical kit,

01:10:29and move to his side.

01:10:31Need a hand

01:10:32handling the Browns?

01:10:33My hands work

01:10:34with practiced confidence.

01:10:36Not right now.

01:10:38I've got it covered.

01:10:40Once the session

01:10:41wraps up,

01:10:42I'm packing away

01:10:43my tools

01:10:43when Liam slowly

01:10:45pushes off the sofa.

01:10:46He stands steady,

01:10:48clear-headed.

01:10:49You're healing well.

01:10:51You're really skilled

01:10:52at this.

01:10:53Thanks.

01:10:53Keep this up

01:10:54and one more session

01:10:55and you'll be good as new.

01:10:56Once I'm fully better,

01:10:58what do you want

01:10:58in exchange?

01:10:59You've already paid

01:11:00for the treatments,

01:11:01but if I ever need

01:11:03help down the road,

01:11:04I hope you'll remember

01:11:04the understanding

01:11:05we have today.

01:11:07Sounds fair.

01:11:08Just then,

01:11:08a knock comes at the door

01:11:09and a maid enters.

01:11:11Sir,

01:11:11Mr. Cassius Warren

01:11:12has arrived.

01:11:13His tone turns icy

01:11:14in an instant.

01:11:15The smile that had just

01:11:16been there

01:11:16disappears completely.

01:11:18Tell him to wait

01:11:18for me in the living room.

01:11:20When I enter

01:11:20the living room,

01:11:21a man in a dark

01:11:22gray suit glances

01:11:23my way.

01:11:24He appears to be

01:11:25in his 50s,

01:11:26sharing some resemblance

01:11:28with Liam.

01:11:33Our eyes lock

01:11:34for a moment.

01:11:35I simply give

01:11:36a small nod

01:11:37and exit smoothly.

01:11:40The intense,

01:11:42almost threatening

01:11:43look from that

01:11:43middle-aged man

01:11:44has set off

01:11:45warning bells

01:11:45in my mind.

01:11:49I let out

01:11:50a soft sigh.

01:11:51I deliberately

01:11:52instruct my driver

01:11:53to take several detours

01:11:54just to make sure

01:11:55no one is tailing me

01:11:56before finally heading

01:11:57back to my apartment.

01:12:02No sooner have I

01:12:04settled in

01:12:04than my phone rings.

01:12:05It's Sophia.

01:12:07Hey Catherine,

01:12:09got a minute?

01:12:09There's this

01:12:10socialite gala

01:12:11happening next week.

01:12:12Want to come along

01:12:13and just have some fun?

01:12:14Sounds good.

01:12:15When is it exactly?

01:12:16Do I need to prepare

01:12:17anything special?

01:12:18It's next Saturday evening

01:12:19at Vantage Oasis.

01:12:21Just wear a cocktail dress.

01:12:22I'll come pick you up

01:12:23and we can go together.

01:12:25Okay, that would work.

01:12:26Thank you so much.

01:12:30I'll go park the car.

01:12:32Sophia goes off

01:12:32to find a parking spot,

01:12:34leaving me to make

01:12:35my way into the building.

01:12:43Just as I step

01:12:44into the lobby,

01:12:45ready to catch

01:12:46the elevator up,

01:12:46I bump on Jalene.

01:12:57Catherine?

01:12:58What are you doing here?

01:12:59So, you're here for the gala?

01:13:02You have an invitation, I hope?

01:13:04Whose little lapdog are you?

01:13:05Running wild and barking

01:13:07at everyone without a care.

01:13:10Excuse me?

01:13:11Who exactly are you insulting?

01:13:14Listen, Catherine,

01:13:15you can't just waltz

01:13:16into this kind of event

01:13:17wearing a dress.

01:13:19Without a real invite,

01:13:20you'll end up humiliated

01:13:22when security shows you the door.

01:13:24Come on, Catherine.

01:13:26Ready to head up?

01:13:27Let's not keep the others waiting.

01:13:40Don't pay her any mind.

01:13:41The organizers gave me

01:13:43two invitations this year.

01:13:44I smile back,

01:13:46appreciating Sophia's subtle way

01:13:48of handling things.

01:14:03Everyone,

01:14:04meet my friend Catherine Brown.

01:14:06I hope you'll look out

01:14:07for her from now on.

01:14:08This gala really is slipping.

01:14:10Apparently just anyone

01:14:11can walk in now.

01:14:12Some people really try too hard.

01:14:14As if showing up here

01:14:15will magically upgrade

01:14:16their pleas in society.

01:14:19Watch your mouth.

01:14:20Catherine is a brown.

01:14:22Have some respect.

01:14:23Please don't be harsh.

01:14:24My sister doesn't attend events

01:14:26like this often.

01:14:27She's just here

01:14:28to get some exposure.

01:14:30Don't go snapping photos

01:14:31willy-nilly.

01:14:32If I see you flooding

01:14:34social media with our images

01:14:35just to boost your status,

01:14:36I won't hesitate to sue.

01:14:47If you want to play dirty,

01:14:49I'll give you a front row seat.

01:14:51Your status comes from

01:14:53flaunting fake jewelries?

01:14:55And what would a country girl

01:14:57like you possibly understand

01:14:59about jewelry?

01:15:01That's Maris Core,

01:15:02an iconic design

01:15:04by Davina Gemma

01:15:05from the 60s

01:15:05centered around

01:15:06a rare cushion-cut diamond

01:15:08framed by a dozen emeralds.

01:15:10The real necklace

01:15:11was sold at last year's

01:15:13Veritas auction

01:15:13for $36 million,

01:15:15bought anonymously.

01:15:18I have to admit,

01:15:19you've got an eye

01:15:20for quality.

01:15:20It is lovely,

01:15:21I'll give you that,

01:15:22but the issue is that

01:15:23yours isn't authentic.

01:15:25Yes,

01:15:25the center stone

01:15:26is about the right size,

01:15:27but it's missing the clarity

01:15:28a genuine one would have.

01:15:30They look like

01:15:30fresh lab-made pieces.

01:15:32You're talking nonsense!

01:15:33My father gave this to me

01:15:35for my birthday!

01:15:36Janice,

01:15:36don't let my sister

01:15:37get to you.

01:15:38She's been out of touch

01:15:39for years,

01:15:40she probably hasn't even seen

01:15:41jewelry of this caliber.

01:15:42It's easy for her

01:15:43to misjudge.

01:15:44I stay calm,

01:15:45shifting my gaze

01:15:46to the other woman's wrist.

01:15:48Your bracelet actually

01:15:49has decent translucency,

01:15:50but it's been chemically treated

01:15:52and filled with resin.

01:15:54Wearing that too long

01:15:55isn't good for your health.

01:15:57Just so you know.

01:15:58The woman snatches her hand back,

01:16:00going pale.

01:16:03I turn to Jolene.

01:16:05Your necklace is no better,

01:16:07Jolene.

01:16:08Those diamonds look fake too.

01:16:11Jolene's fingers shoot

01:16:12toward her ear

01:16:13but stop halfway.

01:16:14The whole hall

01:16:15goes completely still.

01:16:18That was savage.

01:16:20You nailed that

01:16:21comeback perfectly.

01:16:24I take a sip from my glass

01:16:26and feel not a trace of guilt.

01:16:28Fake jewelry?

01:16:30Fine.

01:16:30Wear it quietly

01:16:31and no one will say a word.

01:16:33But you had to step on me

01:16:34to feel taller.

01:16:35So don't blame me

01:16:36for exposing your fake jewelry.

01:16:38Just you wait.

01:16:41I'm calling in

01:16:42a top jewelry expert

01:16:44right now.

01:16:45Be my guest.

01:16:47Relax, Janice.

01:16:49It's a beautiful day.

01:16:50There's no need

01:16:51to let some petty nonsense

01:16:52spoil it.

01:16:53Petty?

01:16:54This isn't just about me

01:16:56wearing a fake.

01:16:57She's insulting the honor

01:16:59of the whole Lopez family.

01:17:10The craftsmanship is extraordinary

01:17:12but something is off.

01:17:14The cut

01:17:15and the color

01:17:15don't match

01:17:16the authentic Mariscor.

01:17:19Miss Lopez,

01:17:21I'm afraid this necklace

01:17:22is indeed a replica.

01:17:24What?

01:17:25That can't be.

01:17:27The craftsmanship

01:17:28is exceptionally convincing,

01:17:29almost flawless.

01:17:31But as Miss Brown

01:17:32pointed out,

01:17:32the cutting style

01:17:33and the emerald shade

01:17:34reveal subtle differences.

01:17:36Impressive eye,

01:17:37Miss Brown.

01:17:37Only the most skilled experts

01:17:39can detect such subtle distinctions.

01:17:41May I ask

01:17:41who has been your teacher?

01:17:43My mentor

01:17:44is Langston Moore.

01:17:47So,

01:17:48you are the esteemed

01:17:49protege of Mr. Moore.

01:17:50An honor

01:17:51to meet you at last.

01:17:52Your championship

01:17:53at the last international competition

01:17:55was truly well-deserved.

01:17:57No wonder

01:17:57she spotted the fake so easily.

01:17:59She's Langston Moore's student.

01:18:03That's the world's

01:18:04top jewelry appraiser.

01:18:05The Lopez family

01:18:06really embarrassed

01:18:07themselves today.

01:18:08I can't stay here.

01:18:10I can't let them

01:18:11see me like this.

01:18:20Catherine,

01:18:21when did you pick

01:18:22all this up?

01:18:24you never said

01:18:24a word about it

01:18:25to any of us.

01:18:28There's a lot

01:18:28you don't know,

01:18:29mostly because

01:18:30you never bothered

01:18:31to ask.

01:18:35Catherine,

01:18:36what have you done

01:18:36to Jolaine now?

01:18:37I don't know

01:18:38what you're talking about,

01:18:39Austin.

01:18:39I've been sitting here

01:18:39all night

01:18:40and Jolaine

01:18:40hasn't said a word to me.

01:18:41And I'm not the one

01:18:42who's been sending her

01:18:43all those blue roses.

01:18:46Austin,

01:18:47shouldn't you find out

01:18:47what really happened first?

01:18:49It's Catherine

01:18:49who got wrong today.

01:18:51What about Miss Lopez?

01:18:52How could you upset her

01:18:53and make her cry?

01:18:54You're going to the Lopez residence

01:18:56right now to apologize.

01:18:57Apologize?

01:18:58For what?

01:18:59Telling the truth

01:19:00and exposing Janice fake jewelry

01:19:02in front of everyone?

01:19:04What nonsense?

01:19:05Miss Lopez wouldn't be caught

01:19:07dead wearing fakes.

01:19:08You're just making up lies

01:19:09to slander her.

01:19:10Mr. Brown,

01:19:11Miss Brown's assessment

01:19:12is absolutely right.

01:19:13This Mari's core necklace

01:19:14is a very well-maked replica

01:19:16and her appraisal skills

01:19:17surpass even mine.

01:19:18Isn't Austin being

01:19:19way too biased?

01:19:20He's not even listening

01:19:21to the expert.

01:19:22I heard the Browns

01:19:23kicked out their own

01:19:24biological daughter

01:19:25to make room

01:19:25for that adopted girl Jolaine.

01:19:28How ridiculous.

01:19:29Still,

01:19:29you had no right

01:19:30to humiliate Miss Lopez

01:19:31like that in public.

01:19:33Our families have shared

01:19:34a close bond

01:19:34for generations.

01:19:36Did you ever stop

01:19:36to think about

01:19:37how damaging this could be

01:19:38for the Brown group?

01:19:39But what about

01:19:40when Janice openly mocked me

01:19:41for being from the countryside?

01:19:42When they all schemed together

01:19:43to humiliate me

01:19:44in front of everyone,

01:19:45did anyone ever care

01:19:46how that felt?

01:19:47Have any of you

01:19:47truly treated me

01:19:48like family at all?

01:19:49If not,

01:19:50then I Catherine

01:19:51and the Browns

01:19:51are better off

01:19:52going our separate ways

01:19:53from this day forward.

01:19:55Sorry for the disruption

01:19:56and ruining everyone's good time.

01:19:58I'll be taking my leave now.

01:20:02The days passed quietly

01:20:03with nothing but my

01:20:05regular school routine

01:20:06and lab work.

01:20:07Jolaine had kept

01:20:08an unusually low profile

01:20:09ever since the banquet,

01:20:10not daring to provoke me again.

01:20:17So many missed calls.

01:20:18What's going on?

01:20:23Why are you answering

01:20:24Aunt Justina's phone?

01:20:25What happened to her?

01:20:26Watch your tone with me,

01:20:27you ungrateful brat.

01:20:28I haven't even dealt

01:20:29with the mess you made.

01:20:31Thanks to you offending

01:20:32Miss Lopez,

01:20:32the Lopez group

01:20:33has just terminated

01:20:34all their cooperation with us.

01:20:35You will find time

01:20:36to go to the Lopez residence

01:20:37and apologize to Miss Lopez

01:20:39immediately.

01:20:40Keep dreaming.

01:20:41You ungrateful little wolf.

01:20:43If you refuse

01:20:44to listen to me,

01:20:45are you planning

01:20:46to ignore your aunt's

01:20:47life and death situation too?

01:20:49What happened

01:20:50to Aunt Justina?

01:20:51Brain tumor.

01:20:52It's pressing

01:20:53directly on the nerves.

01:20:54Surgery is extremely risky.

01:20:57I'm on my way.

01:21:02Out of my way.

01:21:03Sign this!

01:21:04Sign the share transfer agreement

01:21:06and I'll let you inside

01:21:07to see her.

01:21:09How dare they use

01:21:10Justina's life

01:21:11as a bargaining chip?

01:21:12They have no bottom line.

01:21:14You crazy girl.

01:21:15If you dare lay a hand on me,

01:21:17you'll be condemned

01:21:18for your unfail behavior.

01:21:19Heaven will strike you down.

01:21:21Then move.

01:21:22Before I actually decide

01:21:24to follow through.

01:21:26Lawrence?

01:21:27Austin?

01:21:28Is that Catherine out there?

01:21:30Let her in.

01:21:41My poor little Catherine.

01:21:43They must have given her

01:21:44a hard time again.

01:21:48It's just the same old

01:21:49health problems.

01:21:50Nothing to worry about.

01:21:52But were they bothering you

01:21:54out there just now?

01:21:55Don't worry about me.

01:21:56I'm perfectly fine.

01:21:57How are you feeling

01:21:58right now, really?

01:21:59Be honest with me.

01:22:00Justina, don't push yourself

01:22:02too hard.

01:22:02The doctors made it clear

01:22:03this condition can't wait

01:22:04any longer.

01:22:05Only Dr. Huxley-Jones

01:22:06can perform this surgery

01:22:07with the highest success rate.

01:22:08Jolene practically bent over back

01:22:09to get him to agree

01:22:10to take the case.

01:22:11Show me her complete

01:22:12medical records

01:22:13and all the scan images

01:22:14right now.

01:22:14Justina has been nothing

01:22:15but kind to you

01:22:16your whole life,

01:22:16hasn't she?

01:22:17Now that she's gravely ill,

01:22:18you won't just sit back

01:22:18and let her die, will you?

01:22:19Here's the deal.

01:22:20Sign over the Brown Group

01:22:21shares to the family

01:22:22and Jolene will convince

01:22:23Dr. Huxley to perform

01:22:24the surgery immediately.

01:22:25We're also willing to overlook

01:22:26the whole Miss Lopez incident

01:22:27and not hold it against you.

01:22:28After all, we're still family,

01:22:29aren't we?

01:22:30Lawrence, Austin,

01:22:31how can you stoop so low

01:22:32as to use my sickness

01:22:33as a weapon against Catherine?

01:22:34This is absolutely shameless.

01:22:36I won't stand for this.

01:22:37Stop it right now!

01:22:38Aunt Justina,

01:22:39please don't be angry.

01:22:40Dad's just worried

01:22:41about all those

01:22:41Brown Group shares

01:22:42Catherine holds.

01:22:43If she's not careful,

01:22:45she could be taken advantage of,

01:22:46which would cause

01:22:47huge problems.

01:22:49That's why he wants

01:22:50to take this chance

01:22:50to get the shares

01:22:51back into the family's hands.

01:22:54Catherine,

01:22:55my condition is severe

01:22:56and it probably

01:22:57may get better.

01:22:59Even if you sign,

01:23:01the surgery might not work.

01:23:03I come to accept that.

01:23:05You should leave

01:23:06while you still can.

01:23:08Aunt Justina,

01:23:09I'll be the one

01:23:10to perform your surgery.

01:23:11What could you possibly

01:23:12have to back that up

01:23:13with those so-called skills

01:23:14you picked up from nowhere?

01:23:15Catherine,

01:23:16don't make a fool of yourself

01:23:17and promise more

01:23:17than you can deliver.

01:23:18If Justina's condition

01:23:19worsens because of your arrogance,

01:23:20can you really bear

01:23:21the consequences?

01:23:22Can you live with that guilt?

01:23:23Then we'll just have to wait

01:23:24and see.

01:23:25And don't you ever dare

01:23:26use Aunt Justina

01:23:27as a pawn against me again.

01:23:29The next time you try,

01:23:30I won't hesitate

01:23:31to prove exactly

01:23:32what I am capable of.

01:23:33And you won't like the outcome.

01:23:35I'm not giving up on you.

01:23:37Aunt Justina,

01:23:38trust me.

01:23:39Leave everything to me.

01:23:41I promise I'll make you better.

01:23:44Catherine,

01:23:44I trust you.

01:23:46Completely.

01:23:47Fine!

01:23:48Have it your way, Catherine.

01:23:49Let's see how you handle this.

01:23:51Without Dr. Huxry,

01:23:52I don't think Justina

01:23:53has much time left.

01:23:54When this fails,

01:23:55and it will,

01:23:56you better not come crawling back

01:23:58to us to us on your knees

01:23:59begging for help!

01:24:10It's Zafira.

01:24:11Arrange for the highest-grade

01:24:12operating theater

01:24:13at Central Hospital immediately

01:24:14with a full leading

01:24:15neurosurgery team on standby.

01:24:16I'll send over the full

01:24:17equipment list

01:24:18and surgical plan shortly.

01:24:19Understood, Dr. Zafira.

01:24:21We'll handle all

01:24:21the arrangements immediately.

01:24:23Everything will be ready

01:24:24before your scheduled

01:24:24surgery time.

01:24:29An internationally

01:24:30renowned surgeon,

01:24:31Dr. Zyfea?

01:24:33That's the legendary

01:24:34neurosurgeon that even

01:24:35royal families can't book?

01:24:36No!

01:24:37No way!

01:24:38That's impossible!

01:24:39Catherine?

01:24:40That good-for-nothing girl

01:24:41who grew up in the countryside?

01:24:42How could she possibly

01:24:43have connections to someone

01:24:44of Dr. Zyfea's caliber?

01:24:45It must be a coincidence.

01:24:46No, it can't be.

01:24:48She's just a worthless

01:24:48country girl.

01:24:49How could she know

01:24:50Dr. Zyfea?

01:24:53Dad, Austin,

01:24:53don't jump to conclusions.

01:24:55It has to be a coincidence.

01:24:56There's no way Catherine

01:24:57has anything to do with this.

01:24:58She probably doesn't even know

01:24:59who Dr. Zyfea is.

01:25:02Justina, I won't let

01:25:03anything happen to you.

01:25:05This surgery will be a success.

01:25:09Aunt Justina, it's me.

01:25:11I'll be the operatic surgeon

01:25:12for your procedure today.

01:25:13Don't be afraid.

01:25:14Just close your eyes and rest.

01:25:16When you wake up,

01:25:17this ailment will be gone completely.

01:25:20The patient is under

01:25:21general anesthesia.

01:25:22Vitals are stable.

01:25:23Let's begin the operation.

01:25:32My God, that surgical approach angle.

01:25:34It's so bold and intricate,

01:25:36yet it completely avoids

01:25:37all the critical functional areas

01:25:38of the brain.

01:25:38I've never seen anything like it.

01:25:40Look at that section technique.

01:25:41It's so steady.

01:25:41It's terrifying.

01:25:42Not a single tremor.

01:25:43even when working so close

01:25:44to the nerve buns.

01:25:45This is beyond masterful.

01:25:48The patient's vital assigns

01:25:49remain stable throughout the procedure.

01:25:51The operation is a complete success.

01:25:56Please pay close attention

01:25:57to the patient's post-operative

01:25:59monitoring and care.

01:26:00Call me immediately

01:26:01if there are any changes

01:26:02in her condition.

01:26:03Absolutely, Dr. Zyfea.

01:26:04We will strictly follow

01:26:05your post-operative care plan.

01:26:07It was the greatest honor

01:26:08of our careers

01:26:08to assist you

01:26:09in this surgery today.

01:26:15Doctor, how did it go?

01:26:17How was my sister?

01:26:18Was the surgery successful?

01:26:20It was an incredible,

01:26:21unprecedented success.

01:26:22The tumor was completely removed

01:26:24with zero damage

01:26:25to the surrounding nerves

01:26:26and functional areas.

01:26:27The patient's vital sign

01:26:28stayed rock-solid

01:26:29the entire time.

01:26:30Honestly, it was nothing less

01:26:31than a medical miracle.

01:26:32Dr. Zyfea's surgical skills

01:26:33are absolutely extraordinary,

01:26:34god-like even.

01:26:35I have to say,

01:26:36your Brown family

01:26:37is truly full of hidden talents.

01:26:39It's almost impossible

01:26:40to book Dr. Zyfea

01:26:41for a surgery anywhere

01:26:42in the world,

01:26:43yet you managed to get her

01:26:43to come here personally.

01:26:45I'm genuinely curious,

01:26:46how did you manage

01:26:46to connect with her?

01:26:47How is this possible?

01:26:48How could that country girl

01:26:49have anything to do

01:26:50with Dr. Zyfea?

01:26:51This can't be happening.

01:26:52We threatened her,

01:26:52we accused her,

01:26:53we tried to force her

01:26:53to sign away her shares,

01:26:54and she just saved

01:26:55Aunt Justina's life?

01:26:56Dr. Watts, thank you

01:26:57for your hard work today.

01:26:58It was our honor

01:26:59to work with you,

01:27:00Dr. Zyfea.

01:27:00You have my word,

01:27:01we will monitor

01:27:02Ms. Brown's condition 24-7

01:27:04and strictly follow

01:27:05your post-operasive

01:27:06care instructions.

01:27:07Could it be?

01:27:09Is Catherine actually

01:27:11Dr. Zyfea herself?

01:27:13What kind of ridiculous nonsense

01:27:14are you spouting?

01:27:15That ungrateful fool

01:27:16knows nothing.

01:27:17She's just a worthless

01:27:18waste of space.

01:27:19There's no way she could be

01:27:20the world-famous Dr. Zyfea.

01:27:22Are you done running your mouth?

01:27:24If you're finished,

01:27:25step aside.

01:27:25I don't have time

01:27:26to waste on the likes of you.

01:27:27You, you ungrateful,

01:27:29rebellious girl,

01:27:30you think knowing

01:27:31that Dr. Zyfea

01:27:31makes you something special?

01:27:32You probably spent

01:27:33all your money

01:27:34to beg her to come here.

01:27:35It's not like

01:27:35you have any real skill.

01:27:36I am Dr. Zyfea.

01:27:39Aunt Justina's surgery

01:27:40was performed

01:27:41by my own hands

01:27:42from start to finish.

01:27:46No.

01:27:47Impossible.

01:27:48How could you possibly

01:27:49be Dr. Zyfea?

01:27:49You're just a worthless,

01:27:50uneducated girl

01:27:51from the countryside.

01:27:52You're nothing.

01:27:52You're lying.

01:27:53Worthless.

01:27:54I'm the one

01:27:54who saved Aunt Justina's life.

01:27:55What have you done

01:27:56besides using her sickness

01:27:57as a weapon

01:27:57to try and steal from me?

01:27:59Catherine, why...

01:28:01why didn't you tell us sooner?

01:28:02If you had told us

01:28:03who you were earlier,

01:28:04we wouldn't have...

01:28:05we wouldn't have

01:28:05treated you like that.

01:28:07We wouldn't have

01:28:07made so many mistakes.

01:28:09Wouldn't have what?

01:28:11Wouldn't have treated me

01:28:12like an outsider?

01:28:13Wouldn't have helped

01:28:13Jolaine bully me

01:28:14time and time again?

01:28:15Wouldn't have used

01:28:16my only family member's life

01:28:17to threaten me?

01:28:18Austin, do you even believe

01:28:19a single word you just said?

01:28:22Catherine doesn't need

01:28:22your fake,

01:28:23last-minute regrets.

01:28:24From this day forward,

01:28:25I will be the one

01:28:25to take care of her.

01:28:26You will never get

01:28:27the chance to hurt her again.

01:28:28Mr. Warren,

01:28:30this is just a private

01:28:31family matter of the

01:28:31Brown family.

01:28:32There's no need

01:28:33for you to get involved.

01:28:34Family matter?

01:28:35When you kicked her

01:28:35out of the house

01:28:36and left her homeless,

01:28:37did you ever think

01:28:37of her as family?

01:28:38You even used her aunt's

01:28:39life as a threat against her.

01:28:40When she was in danger,

01:28:42where were you?

01:28:42When she was bullied

01:28:43and even kidnapped,

01:28:44did you ever stood up

01:28:45for her even once?

01:28:46Enough, Liam.

01:28:47Talking to these people

01:28:48is just a waste of time.

01:28:50Let's go.

01:28:51I don't know.

01:28:52I don't know.

01:28:53I don't know.

01:28:55I don't know.
