00:00Up abroad, my mother feared I might marry a foreign man.
00:03Mother arranged my engagement in Float On and ordered me home.
00:07I came back and picked out a dress for the engagement and decided to try it on.
00:13Yet the next moment a hand yanked the dress out of my grasp, I spun around in astonishment.
00:18What?
00:19A woman proudly handed the dress to the saleswoman, lifting her chin as she said,
00:23This dress is very expensive.
00:26Before I could even process it, she gave me a once-over from head to toe,
00:30the corner of her mouth curling into a mocking smile.
00:33Do you really think a broke nobody like you can afford it?
00:37I felt a surge of anger and humiliation, yet I held back and said,
00:41Excuse me, I was here first.
00:43Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?
00:46No sooner had I finished speaking than the woman slapped me hard across the face.
00:51Smack!
00:52The blow sent me staggering and I fell straight to the floor.
00:55I clutched my cheek, which was burning with pain, my ears ringing.
00:59Gritting through the pain, I looked up at that arrogant woman standing over me.
01:02She had her arms crossed, looking down at me with eyes full of contempt.
01:06I'm Lucas Goodwin's sister in all but blood.
01:08She sneered, deliberately raising her voice.
01:11In Florida, the Goodwin family sets the rules.
01:13Got that?
01:14Lucas Goodwin?
01:16A thunderbolt of realization exploded in my heart.
01:19Isn't he my fiancé?
01:20I immediately called Lucas and said,
01:22Hey, your sister in all but blood just stole my engagement dress.
01:28I grew up abroad.
01:30My mother feared I might marry a foreign man,
01:32so she arranged an engagement for me with a talented and handsome man in Floodon.
01:36She insisted that I return home to get engaged.
01:39Right now, I came back, only to run into such ridiculous drama.
01:43I immediately called Lucas and said,
01:47Hey, your sister in all but blood just stole my engagement dress.
01:52Do something about it.
01:53The term sister in all but blood implied less than innocent connotations.
01:58If Lucas Goodwin failed to give me a proper explanation on that day,
02:02I would cancel the engagement banquet.
02:04To my surprise, Lucas responded coldly,
02:06Who are you?
02:08Since when does a stranger like you get to question my relationship with Vivian?
02:12I was about to tell him that I was his fiancé,
02:14but he hung up abruptly.
02:16I became angry.
02:17How dare he not save my contact information?
02:19Meanwhile, Vivian Morrow, who was standing beside me, grinned triumphantly.
02:24You wench!
02:25Did you really think having Lucas' number makes you special?
02:29Keep dreaming.
02:30She looked at me with open contempt.
02:31Even the Janners at Goodwin's group dress better than you.
02:39What are you even living in?
02:42To think you'd still be judging people by their looks?
02:45Lucas must be out of his mind to call you his sister in all but blood.
02:49My mood for shopping was ruined, thanks to her antics.
02:52I grabbed the gown and headed straight to the checkout counter.
02:55The saleswoman hesitated before saying,
02:57Miss, I'm sorry, but we prioritize our members first.
03:00Vivian smirked and slammed her shiny gold membership card onto the counter.
03:04Only people who've spent over a million get this card.
03:08What's a broke loser like you even doing here?
03:11I was not usually one to pick fights, but on that day, Vivian had really crossed a line.
03:15I pulled out a black card and handed it to the saleswoman.
03:18I suppressed my anger and said,
03:20Sign me up for a membership.
03:22Then bagged the gown.
03:25Vivian glared at the saleswoman and threatened,
03:28The Goodwins own Flodden.
03:30If you sell her that gown today, I'll have Luke buy this store out tomorrow.
03:34The saleswoman shrank back timidly and said,
03:37Miss, I'm just an employee.
03:40I can't risk offending Goodwin's group.
03:42Several onlookers turned to me and offered me advice in whispers.
03:46I'm Miss Morrow.
03:47I've seen her around.
03:49Lucas Goodwin spoils her rotten.
03:51You should just let it go.
03:53The last time someone crossed her, Goodwin's group drove them into bankruptcy.
03:57You may have some money, but it's pocket change compared to Goodwin's group.
04:02Just apologize to Miss Morrow now and beg her to spare you.
04:06Flattered by their words, Vivian's ego swelled like a balloon.
04:10You, wench, get on your knees and say,
04:13I'm a worthless poser and I'm sorry.
04:16Maybe then I'll consider letting you off the hook.
04:18At 26 years of my life, I had never encountered anyone audacious enough to act so arrogantly in front of
04:24me.
04:26Pardon?
04:27What did you just ask me to say?
04:31What?
04:32Are you deaf?
04:33Say, I'm a worthless poser.
04:36I'm sorry.
04:36Do I need to spell it out for you?
04:38I smirked.
04:39I heard you.
04:41Since you're aware that you're a worthless poser, get out of my sight.
04:46Don't waste my time.
04:48When Vivian finally realized she was being mocked, she flailed her arms and charged at me.
04:53It was laughable to see her trying to attack me.
04:55I had a black belt in taekwondo.
04:57Did she really think her flimsy punches would scare me?
05:00I sent Vivian crashing to the floor with a single kick.
05:03She howled in pain.
05:09Onlookers stared at me in horror.
05:11Oh my gosh.
05:12Did she just do that to Ms. Morrow?
05:14Mr. Goodwin is going to tear her to pieces once he hears about this.
05:19Yeah, good luck to her.
05:20Not even God can save her.
05:24I felt nothing when I heard their whispers.
05:26The Goodwin family had only achieved their current status through my mother's support.
05:30No one in this city could intimidate me.
05:33I slammed my card on the counter again and said to the cashier,
05:36Ring me up.
05:38The cashier, visibly shaken, fumbled as she processed my payment and wrapped up the gown.
05:43I turned to leave with the bag in hand.
05:46Vivian scrambled to stand up and blocked my path again.
05:51You're not going anywhere!
05:53I raised my fist and waved it in front of her face.
05:56What's the matter?
05:58Do you want to taste my fist again?
06:02Vivian flinched instinctively.
06:04I scoffed and strode past her.
06:07Just then, a black car pulled up in front of the store.
06:10A man stepped out.
06:13I felt my heart skip a beat.
06:16Vivian immediately rushed over tearfully to tattle.
06:21Luke, she stole my gown from me and even hit me!
06:26So, this was my fiancé.
06:28I had always been a sucker for good looks,
06:30and Lucas' appearance was exactly my type.
06:33Based on his looks alone,
06:35I felt I could forgive his previous rudeness.
06:38I gave him my best smile.
06:41Hi!
06:43I'm Lily Winswong, your fiancé.
06:46It was no wonder my mother said
06:48I would be satisfied with the man she had picked this time.
06:50She really knew me inside out.
06:52The onlookers immediately erupted in gasps.
06:55What?
06:57She's Mr. Goodwin's fiancé!
07:00Lucas looked at me coldly.
07:02Don't get ahead of yourself.
07:05My father arranged this engagement without my consent.
07:08I never agreed to it.
07:09Vivian, who stood beside him,
07:11wrapped her arm around his
07:13and leaned intimately against his shoulder.
07:15She shot me a provocative glance.
07:17Look at yourself!
07:18There is no way looks would ever marry
07:21an eye-ind an ugly creature like you!
07:24Someone chimed in.
07:25Exactly!
07:26If Mr. Goodwin were to marry,
07:27it would be to some rich girl
07:28from a proper family with equal status,
07:30not some country bumper like you with her looks!
07:33Goodwin's group wouldn't even hire her to mop floors!
07:35I had never considered myself a stunning beauty,
07:37but I was certainly not ugly.
07:39How could they describe me in such derogatory terms?
07:42This proved how people instinctively curry favor
07:45with the powerful
07:45and took advantage of those in misfortune.
07:48Lucas Goodwin,
07:50go home and tell your father
07:52that I'm calling off this engagement.
07:55You don't deserve me.
07:58According to my mother,
07:59his father had pulled countless strings
08:01to arrange this marriage alliance with our family.
08:04If he learned that his own son had ruined it,
08:06he'd skin Lucas alive.
08:08The thought lifted my mood a little.
08:10I could not be bothered
08:11to waste more time on these idiots,
08:12so I turned to leave.
08:14But Vivian,
08:15knowing that Lucas would back her up,
08:17refused to let it go.
08:18She blocked my path again.
08:20Don't even try to run,
08:22you wench!
08:24We're not done here.
08:26You stole my gown
08:28and hit me!
08:29I looked at her disdainfully.
08:31What exactly do you want?
08:33Mistaking my calm for fear,
08:35she raised her hand to slap me.
08:38I'll slap you until I feel satisfied!
08:41I caught her wrist mid-swing
08:42and slapped her across the face without hesitation.
08:45She stared at me in shock.
08:49Vivian said angrily.
08:51Those two slaps wiped the arrogant look off Vivian's face.
08:54She burst into tears and cowered behind Lucas.
08:57Luke, do something.
08:59Lucas shielded her protectively and snarled,
09:02Touch my girl again,
09:03and I'll end you.
09:05He signaled his bodyguards to grab me.
09:08I managed to take down the first bodyguard with a quick strike,
09:11but the second one pinned me down.
09:13After a barrage of blows,
09:14I collapsed to the floor.
09:16The two bodyguards hauled me up
09:17and forced me to my knees before Vivian and Lucas.
09:20They looked down at me.
09:22Lucas backed Vivian up and said,
09:24Vivian, do whatever you want to her.
09:26I've got your back.
09:27With Lucas's reassurance,
09:29Vivian immediately gained confidence.
09:31She slapped me twice,
09:32then spat in my face.
09:34You wench!
09:35Where's all that attitude now?
09:37Huh?
09:38Come on, show me how tough you are!
09:41Then, she kicked me hard in the stomach,
09:43clutching my aching abdomen.
09:44I raised my gaze to glare at her and Lucas.
09:47You'll regret this.
09:49I swear you'll pay for this.
09:53Vivian laughed arrogantly.
09:54The Goodwin family is one of the top three powerful families running this city.
09:58What can a broke loser like you even do against me?
10:02Today, I'll teach you what happens when you mess with me.
10:05She pulled out a nail clipper from her bag
10:07and slashed it across my face.
10:09Searing pain shot through my cheek as the skin swelled
10:12and I felt blood seeping out.
10:15Someone sighed in pity.
10:18I told her not to cross the Goodwin family.
10:22Guess she had to learn the hard way.
10:25What a shame.
10:26Her pretty face is ruined now.
10:28Folks like us can't afford the trouble.
10:31We better swallow our pride when we're out here.
10:34Vivian raised the nail clipper again,
10:36aiming for another slash at my face.
10:38Terror at the thought of disfigurement overwhelmed me
10:41and I quickly begged for mercy.
10:43Fine, I'm sorry.
10:45Take the dress.
10:47I shouldn't have fought you for it.
10:49Revenge could wait.
10:51At that moment, saving my face was the priority.
10:54However, Vivian still slashed the blade across my face again.
11:00Now you're sorry?
11:01Well, it's too late now.
11:04Wench.
11:04I won't let you go until I've vented every ounce of my rage.
11:09I screamed in pain and turned to Lucas for help.
11:12Lucas, you know my background.
11:15Aren't you afraid of the consequences?
11:17If you keep letting her humiliate me like this, you'll regret it.
11:21Lucas sneered.
11:22What status could you possibly have?
11:25Your mother bewitched my father to forcing this engagement on me?
11:28A vicious gleam flashed in Vivian's gaze.
11:31Your mother is a witch.
11:33And I bet you are one, too.
11:35Strip off.
11:36And let me see clearly.
11:38No!
11:39Just then, my phone rang from inside my bag.
11:42I struggled desperately to reach it.
11:44But Vivian snatched it first.
11:46She swiped to answer.
11:47And my mother's voice came through immediately.
11:50Lillibelt, how's the gown shopping going?
11:55I hurriedly shouted for help.
11:57Mom!
11:58Save me!
11:59Someone's hurting me!
12:00She's trying to strip me off!
12:02My mother panicked.
12:03What?
12:04Who's doing this to you?
12:06Vivian cut in arrogantly.
12:08Me!
12:09Your little witch daughter has been begging for attention,
12:12so I'm putting her in her place.
12:13My mother snapped.
12:15I don't care who you are.
12:16Let my daughter go now,
12:18or you'll pay for this when I get there.
12:21Try me.
12:21I'll be right here to catch you.
12:24You witch!
12:25With that, Vivian hung up my phone and hurled it to the floor.
12:28It shattered into pieces.
12:30She slapped me across the face again and sneered.
12:33The apple doesn't far from the tree.
12:36When your mother shows up,
12:38I'll strip her down, too.
12:40Time crawled by.
12:41It felt like half a century.
12:43But in reality, it had only been five minutes.
12:46Finally, a familiar stretched limousine appeared.
12:49My mother stepped out of the car and demanded,
12:52Let me see who dares threaten to strip me down.
12:57The instant I saw my mother,
12:59a wave of pent-up grievances surged through me.
13:02Mom!
13:03I cried as my voice broke with emotion.
13:05My mother's heart broke at the sight of me.
13:08She immediately rushed toward me
13:09and pulled me into her embrace.
13:11I finally felt safe when I leaned against my mother's chest.
13:15The surrounding onlookers gasped in astonishment at my mother's vehicle.
13:19Look! That's a limited-edition stretch limousine!
13:22Only the extremely rich and powerful can own that car.
13:25It seems Vivian messed with the wrong person this time.
13:28Wrong person.
13:29Please.
13:30Even if she's got connections,
13:32nobody could possibly outrank the Goodwin family in this city.
13:35Vivian thought the same, too.
13:37She charged toward my mother.
13:39So you're the witch who raised this brat.
13:41She dared to steal my dress and hit me.
13:44Tell me.
13:45How are you gonna make this right?
13:47My mother raised her eyes to look at her.
13:50How am I going to make this right?
13:55Oblivious to my mother's murderous glare,
13:57Vivian made her demands without restraint.
13:59This was my dress.
14:01Until your trashy daughter put her hands on it.
14:04Now it's ruined.
14:05You'll pay ten times the price.
14:07And for those slaps,
14:08she'll kneel right here
14:10and slap herself twenty times in front of everyone.
14:13Most importantly,
14:14cancel her engagement with Luke.
14:16Do everything I say,
14:17and maybe I'll let you walk out of here in one piece.
14:20Otherwise,
14:21you're not leaving this store alive.
14:23My mother laughed in disbelief
14:25when she heard Vivian's outrageous demands.
14:27She gave my shoulder a reassuring pat
14:30before walking toward Vivian.
14:31The engagement between Lillable and the Goodwin family
14:34will most certainly be cancelled.
14:36Lucas could never measure up to being part of our family.
14:41As for the rest of your demands...
14:43My mother raised her hand and slapped her face hard.
14:46Don't even dream about it.
14:47You're the ones who won't be walking out today.
14:51Vivian stood stunned for a second
14:53before attempting to retaliate.
14:55My mother's bodyguard kicked her to her knees,
14:57then pinned her arms down.
14:59After struggling futilely,
15:01Vivian lifted her head to plead with Lucas.
15:04Luke!
15:05It hurts!
15:06Help me!
15:08Lucas signaled his bodyguards to intervene,
15:10but within seconds,
15:12they were overpowered and slammed to the floor.
15:14The most satisfying part followed.
15:16Lucas himself was forced to my knees before me.
15:19My mother did not hold back and slapped Lucas.
15:22I've never laid a finger on Lilit
15:23since she was born.
15:25And you dare humiliate her like this today.
15:29You'll repay this a thousand times over.
15:32My mother did not hold back and slapped Lucas.
15:37You old hag!
15:38How dare you hit me!
15:40I'm the chairman of Goodwin's group.
15:41You have no idea what consequences you'll face.
15:44How dare you hurt my daughter.
15:46I'd slap your father just like I slapped you if he's here.
15:49The onlookers grew even more shocked.
15:51Who does this woman think she is?
15:53Mr. Goodwin Sr. ran the underworld in his youth.
15:56After leaving that life behind, he built the Goodwin's group.
15:59Even now, everyone in Floaten shows him respect.
16:01She just struck Mr. Goodwin Sr.'s golden boy.
16:04There's no way she's walking away from this.
16:07My mother ignored their whispers.
16:08She gently touched my swollen, bleeding cheek.
16:21I was not the type to turn the other cheek to begin with.
16:24I certainly would not be after what Vivian just pulled.
16:27I stared at her with a furious gaze.
16:32First, I struck her repeatedly across the face to vent my anger.
16:36Then, I picked up the nail clipper she had used to slash my cheek and slowly brought it closer to
16:42her face.
16:45Vivian trembled violently.
16:47Don't!
16:48Don't you dare touch my face!
16:50I'll fight you to the death!
16:52Without hesitation, I made the first cut.
16:54She let out a blood-curdling scream as a bleeding gash swelled along one cheek.
16:59I slashed the blade repeatedly.
17:01Soon, her face was swollen beyond recognition.
17:03It looked bruised and bloody.
17:05She could do nothing but wail in helpless agony as she was pinned down by the bodyguards.
17:11My face!
17:13My face is ruined!
17:15It was true that a person would not know the pain until it was theirs to bear.
17:19When she tried to disfigure me, she should have expected retribution.
17:23Lucas, who was nearby, snarled at me.
17:26You psychotic wench!
17:28When my father finds out what you did to Vivi, he'll make you pay!
17:32My mother said coldly,
17:33Good.
17:35Let Bernard come.
17:36We'll see who he punishes.
17:39You or us.
17:41My mother immediately took out her phone and called Bernard Goodwin.
17:44He answered instantly.
17:46Hello, Denia.
17:46What's the matter?
17:48My mother replied coldly,
17:49Bernard, you've certainly raised an exceptional son.
17:53Recognizing her displeasure, Bernard responded with forced laughter.
17:58Denia, what has my useless son done now?
18:01Just say the word, and I'll punish him severely.
18:03You know, Lililad is my only daughter.
18:06I've cherished her like the apple of my eye since she was born.
18:09Yes, of course.
18:10Rest assured, when Mrs. Winsone marries into our family, I won't let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
18:16My mother's voice trembled with suppressed rage.
18:19Well, your precious boy, Lucas, has let Lilidal suffer a terrible humiliation.
18:24He tied her up and allowed her to be beaten and insulted for the sake of some pretend sister.
18:30How are you going to make this right?
18:33Bernard was in disbelief when he heard this.
18:36He then said,
18:37What?
18:38That brat hurt Mrs. Winsone.
18:40Skin him alive for all I care.
18:42Do whatever you want with him.
18:44Lucas, who was kneeling on the floor, shouted.
18:47Dad, has this witch cast a spell on you?
18:49These two witches are evil.
18:51They ruined Vivi's face and made me kneel.
18:55Instead of saving me, you're letting them have their way with me.
18:59I'm your son!
19:00Bernard roared furiously.
19:02You're a disgrace!
19:03After this disaster you've caused, I wish I'd never had you.
19:07Lucas tried to speak again.
19:09My mother ended the call deliberately.
19:11She looked at him with contempt.
19:13Do you still think your father is going to save you?
19:15You black widow.
19:17Don't get cocky.
19:18He's just blowing off steam.
19:20I'm his flesh and blood.
19:21When he comes for me, you're dead!
19:24Ever since I could remember, my father's memory was my mother's most tender spot.
19:29No one would dare broach it.
19:30Lucas truly had a death wish and was walking straight into the line of fire.
19:35As expected, my mother's expression darkened.
19:38She looked at him with a murderous gaze.
19:40I swiftly kicked Lucas in the back.
19:42He sprawled face first onto the floor.
19:47Mom, don't waste your anger on this worthless fool.
19:50Let me handle him.
19:52I know exactly how to deal with them.
19:55With that, I ordered the bodyguards to take both of them away.
19:58I sidled up to Mom and whined.
20:00Mom, my face really hurts.
20:02Will you come with me to get it treated first?
20:05My coaxing tone successfully snapped my mother back to rationality.
20:09She gently touched my injured cheek and accompanied me to the hospital.
20:12Flodon's top dermatologists and plastic surgeons gathered to examine me.
20:17After disinfecting my facial wounds, they discussed treatment plans to ensure no scars would remain.
20:22Once the treatment plan was finalized, the doctors gradually dispersed.
20:27Only my mother and I remained in the ward.
20:30I leaned my head against her shoulder and murmured reassuringly.
20:34Mom, don't take Lucas' words to heart.
20:38Lillibard, your father really did die because of me.
20:42Do you hate me for making you grow up without a father?
20:45Her voice thickened with guilt and regret.
20:48I shook my head and hugged her tighter.
20:50I knew better than anyone how much she had suffered these years.
20:54My father had been part of the underworld.
20:56He had countless subordinates.
20:58Bernard was just one of his underlings.
21:00Everything changed when he met my mother.
21:03They fell in love at first sight.
21:05The violent womanizer who lived for fights and flings finally settled down.
21:09From that moment, his heart belonged only to my mother.
21:12But this gave my father a weakness.
21:14His enemies repeatedly targeted my mother.
21:17In the end, he sacrificed his life protecting her.
21:20I was less than a year old at the time.
21:23My grandparents said she would have followed my father in death had I not existed.
21:26For my sake, she dragged herself through the grief.
21:29She dissolved my father's underworld organization.
21:32From its members, she selected those with business acumen and funded their ventures.
21:37My mother understood the danger of drawing attention.
21:40To shield me from becoming a target,
21:41she maintained a low profile and never appeared before the media or public.
21:45It was no exaggeration to say my mother built three of Floden's major financial empires.
21:50Only a few knew this truth.
21:52This explained why idiots like Lucas remained ignorant of her true status.
21:57That was why he dared spew nonsense.
22:00After a week of medical treatment, my facial injuries healed completely.
22:04My skin became even smoother and more radiant than before.
22:08One day, the housekeeper brought over another gift from Bernard.
22:11It was a 1945 Chateau Lafite.
22:14It was one of only a few left in the world.
22:16It was clear Bernard had gone to great lengths to save his son.
22:20After locking Lucas and Vivian up for a week, it was about time I paid them a visit.
22:25I instructed the housekeeper to inform Bernard who was waiting outside.
22:29Then, I had the bodyguards bring Lucas and Vivian up from the basement.
22:33Those seven short days had transformed them beyond recognition.
22:36Their hair was matted and their bodies reeked of foul odors.
22:40Vivian's facial wounds were left untreated.
22:43It had festered and swollen.
22:45Her entire face had turned into a bloated mess and was ruined beyond repair.
22:49When Lucas spotted Bernard, tears of relief streamed down his face.
22:53He scrambled over on hands and knees.
22:57Dad, you're finally here.
23:00You have no idea what I've been through these days.
23:03He pointed a shaking finger at me.
23:06It was her.
23:07She locked me in that water cell.
23:10She deprived me of sleep.
23:12Starved me.
23:14And forced me to eat rotten food.
23:16I smiled slightly as I looked at him.
23:18Yet you always licked the bowl clean, though.
23:21Didn't you, Mr. Goodwin?
23:23Human survival instincts were truly remarkable.
23:26I had ordered the guards to deliver just one meal of cold, rancid oatmeal per day.
23:31At first, Lucas proudly declared he would rather starve than touch such food.
23:36He was the chairman of Goodwin's group, after all.
23:38But after three days without food, pride became meaningless.
23:42They fought over that putrid oatmeal and even licked their bowls clean.
23:46Lucas glared at me savagely.
23:47You vicious witch.
23:49Now that my father is here, your little game is over.
23:54Sometimes I marveled at life's scales of balance.
23:56When it gave you one thing, it would always take away another.
24:00Clearly, Lucas's intelligence had been traded for his looks.
24:04Before he could finish his threat, Bernard struck him across the head.
24:09You disgrace!
24:11Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
24:14Get onto your knees and apologize to Ms. Windsor right now!
24:18Lucas turned to his father.
24:21His face twisted in betrayal.
24:23Why should I apologize?
24:26She tortured me for days.
24:29Instead of having my back.
24:31Why are you taking her side?
24:32Bernard looked at his clueless son in despair.
24:35He was truly at his wit's end.
24:37Since my mother had given strict instructions, Bernard could not reveal my identity.
24:42He could only vent his frustration by kicking Lucas behind the knees and forcing him to kneel before me.
24:47Bernard spoke with cautious deference.
24:50Mrs. Windsor, I know this worthless son of mine has angered you.
24:55Nothing he does will ever make up for it.
24:57But he's my only child.
24:59Please spare his life.
25:01Witnessing his father's humiliating submission, Lucas finally realized that I was not just some nobody.
25:07Dad, who is she?
25:13We're the Goodwin family.
25:15One of the three most powerful families running this city.
25:18Since when has there been anyone we can't afford to offend?
25:21Bernard glared at him with disgust.
25:23You stupid brat!
25:24How many times have I told you?
25:26There's always someone above us.
25:28I told you to behave.
25:30But you never listened!
25:32Let me make this clear.
25:34Mrs. Windsor is exactly who we can't afford to offend.
25:39Whether you walk out of here depends entirely on her mercy.
25:43Finally comprehending the gravity of the situation, Lucas' expression shifted from resentment to pure terror.
25:49He stammered and said,
25:51Ms. Windsor, I've been a fool.
25:55Please, forgive me.
25:57I sat in my chair as I slowly sipped the coffee beside me before addressing them.
26:02Bernard, you're actually wrong about Lucas.
26:04He wasn't the one who offended me.
26:07It's his sister in all but blood that did.
26:10Lucas merely wanted to stand up for her.
26:12Bernard immediately slapped Lucas across the head.
26:15You're such a disgrace.
26:17Instead of learning proper conduct, you're messing around with some pretend sister.
26:21Get that woman out of my sight.
26:23Now!
26:24Seeing this, Vivian instantly realized Lucas was barely keeping his own head above water at the moment.
26:29He could not save himself, much less her.
26:34Just remembering her time in the water cell, she vowed never to suffer like that again.
26:39Her legs gave out.
26:40She collapsed to her knees with a thud and started apologizing frantically.
26:45Mrs. Windsor, I'm sorry!
26:47I'm the word, wordless poser!
26:50Please forgive me.
26:51Please spare me just this once.
26:54Please, I beg you.
26:55Please spare my miserable life!
26:59I'll never dare again.
27:01Her words echoed in the room as she repeatedly begged for forgiveness on her knees.
27:05Lucas finally lowered his proud head in submission.
27:08Mrs. Windsor, I was blind and foolish to wrong you.
27:12I won't bully people or pull that privileged nonsense again.
27:16Please, just give me this one chance.
27:18After finishing my coffee, I set the cup aside.
27:21I looked at the people around me and said calmly,
27:23My, you are all speaking as if I'm some homicidal maniac.
27:27This is a society governed by law.
27:30Do I really look like a criminal to you?
27:33Bernard ventured cautiously.
27:35Mrs. Windsor, does this mean you're forgiving this idiot?
27:39I smiled.
27:40Of course.
27:42Though they'd hurt me, I've hurt them too.
27:45An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
27:48I'll let this matter end here.
27:51Lucas and Vivian resumed frantically thanking me for their mercy.
27:55I cleared my throat before continuing.
27:59Not only do I forgive you, I intend to grant you a blessing.
28:05The three of them looked confused.
28:09After some digging, I discovered Vivian and Lucas have been dating all along.
28:14They adopted the pretend siblings' pretense because you wouldn't approve, Bernard.
28:19Well, congratulations, lovebirds.
28:21You'll be heading straight to the city hall after this.
28:24You've got exactly seven days to throw a wedding and float on.
28:28My words were met with mixed reactions.
28:31Some were delighted, others horrified.
28:35Vivian had never expected this misfortune to turn into her lucky break.
28:38Her long-held dream of climbing society's ladder by marrying a wealthy man was finally coming true.
28:45A thrill of victory rose in her chest, and she could not help but smile.
28:49However, that smile looked particularly grotesque and unsettling on her nearly disfigured face.
28:55The one displeased by this turn of events was naturally Bernard.
28:59He had always looked down on Vivian's background and behavior.
29:02This disaster involving Lucas had been partly caused by her, deepening his disdain toward her.
29:08I observed the three of them, each lost in their own thoughts, and asked,
29:17Well, can you do it?
29:22When they gave me their agreement, I waved them off with a smile.
29:26There's a car waiting outside, to take you lovehards to the city hall.
29:30They scrambled to their feet and dashed out, as if afraid I might change my mind if they delayed even
29:35a second.
29:36The filthy, foul-smelling Lucas and Vivian were delivered straight to the city hall's entrance.
29:42A staff member approached them.
29:43She suppressed her disgust at the stench.
29:46Sir, miss?
29:47How may I assist you?
29:49Lucas glanced at Vivian's swollen face and could not help but feel repulsed.
29:54Still high on the thrill of bagging a good one, Vivian blurted out,
29:58We're here to get married!
30:00Even after years of handling registrations, this was the most bizarre couple the staff had ever encountered.
30:07Most couples dress their best when registering for marriage, but these two looked like refugees fleeing a disaster.
30:13The groom looked especially disgusted and reluctant.
30:16The staff processed their paperwork dutifully despite their appearance.
30:20When my driver reported they had successfully tied a knot, I felt the wicked satisfaction of a prankster seeing their
30:27scheme succeed.
30:28This particular prank, however, would haunt them for life.
30:32A week later, their wedding had the whole internet talking about the Goodwin family.
30:40The viral wedding coverage caused Goodwin's group stocks to plummet.
30:44Their assets were halved, knocking them out of Float On's top three spots.
30:47Though my orchestrated behind-the-scenes certainly helped.
30:52Bernard blamed Vivian entirely.
30:54He was convinced she had brought misfortune to the Goodwin family.
30:58From the moment she married in, he never showed her even a hint of kindness.
31:03After marriage, Lucas became a habitual womanizer who refused to go home and face Vivian's disfigured face due to the
31:10result of untreated wounds.
31:13Initially, Vivian had been overjoyed about marrying into the Goodwin family.
31:17As time passed, she realized even the housemaids did not regard her as Lucas's legitimate wife.
31:24Her influence within the Goodwin family was negligible.
31:27The meager monthly allowance she received was not even close to her imagined aristocratic lifestyle.
31:32They fought constantly about Lucas's repeated affairs.
31:35Through these constant fights, Vivian grew increasingly paranoid and unstable.
31:40After one particularly vicious quarrel, she snapped.
31:44She stabbed Lucas before ending her own life.
31:49I was vacationing abroad with my mother when we heard the news of their deaths.
31:54Sunlight sifted through the branches.
