00:05Victoria, you bastard! Why can't you just accept me as your daughter? Why did you have to bring her back?
00:13A daughter I had loved for 16 years wanted to die with me. I pulled the trigger without mercy.
00:19The bullet left the gun. My mind went completely blank.
00:23Only that question echoed in her screams as she held the detonator.
00:27Why did you have to bring her back? Why? Because seven days ago I saw a cage in Columbia.
00:34I went to Columbia to inspect investment projects. I saw the woman in the cage at first glance.
00:40She was so thin she looked unrecognizable. She curled up in a corner like a dying dog.
00:47But her face looked 70% like my daughter's. So I felt pity.
00:51I decided to buy her. The boss absolutely refused. He cursed and pushed me out.
00:58During the argument someone tore off the woman's shirt. A tattoo on her waist was exposed.
01:03June 12, 2001 I froze because my daughter had an identical tattoo.
01:07I had personally tattooed it shortly after her birth. But she was now married to that congressman.
01:13She had become Mrs. Reed. She lived in a red brick mansion in Georgetown. She lived a carefree and happy
01:18life.
01:19At that moment I quickly realized something was wrong.
01:22I returned to the hotel immediately. I dialed the private investigator's number.
01:27Dig three feet deep and find the truth.
01:30Old White, the investigator, quickly agreed on the other end.
01:33I hung up. I immediately called my former security advisor at the CIA.
01:38I gave the next order. Go to that slum black market in Bogota.
01:41Find that woman. Buy her. No matter what you have to do.
01:44My heart pounded against my ribs. That number. That string of numbers.
01:50Others might not understand its meaning. But I knew at a single glance. It was my daughter's birthday.
01:56At that time I was facing political attacks during the party primary.
02:01She was born early in a private clinic. Just in case, I pricked the numbers onto her lower back one
02:06by one.
02:07Later, I turned the tide. I became a senior senator.
02:10When she just became an adult, I planned to remove the tattoo. But the doctor refused.
02:15He said the injury was too deep. It reached the dermis layer.
02:18Forced removal would leave a big scar. I was a little confused at the time. It was just cigarette ash.
02:24How could it go so deep? But the doctor said so, so I did not think much about it.
02:28But now I finally understood. My daughter had been switched long ago.
02:33Twenty minutes later, my security chief Barnes called.
02:36Ma'am, we got her out.
02:40The boss called the police. Local corrupt cops blocked the streets. We must leave by water now.
02:46Keep her alive at all costs.
02:48I gave the order through gritted teeth. I strode out of the hotel room.
02:52As I walked, I kept recalling the scene at the slum black market.
02:57That woman had no tongue. Her fingernails and toenails had all been pulled out.
03:02Her eyes were full of death. Who stole my own flesh and blood? Who tortured her into this terrible state?
03:09I got into the bulletproof car. I headed straight for the dock.
03:13The wind carried a salty smell into the car.
03:16From a distance, Barnes was already waiting on the deck with his men.
03:19The emaciated woman was lying on a stretcher. The private doctor on board was giving her a cardiac stimulant injection.
03:26Her condition is extremely bad. The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead.
03:31Severe malnutrition. Multiple fractures were never set. They healed into deformities.
03:38Her vocal cords were destroyed by chemicals. The most fatal thing is the blood infection.
03:43She has survived until now only by sheer willpower.
03:47I stepped forward. I half squatted beside the stretcher. I reached out my hand. I wanted to touch her face.
03:53She flinched violently. Her throat made a wheezing sound like a broken bellows. Resistance. Fear. Despair.
04:01I held back the sting in my nose. I withdrew my hand.
04:05Use the best medicine. Use the most advanced equipment. Whatever it takes, pull her back from the gates of death.
04:11The yacht cut through the waves. It headed toward the deep sea. I stood on the deck the whole night.
04:18When the horizon turned fish belly white, Old White called again.
04:21Madam Senator, we found some clues. Your current daughter, Miss Reed, had a high fever when she was nine years
04:27old.
04:28At that time, you were abroad mediating a foreign policy bill involving national security.
04:33Your ex-husband took her to the hospital. The records of that private hospital show that after the fever subsided,
04:39Miss Reed's blood type changed.
04:40The hospital explained it as a wrong report from the lab at the time. But the lab director who signed
04:45it emigrated with his whole family the next month.
04:48Ex-husband, Edward Blake. He rose to power thanks to my family's political donations.
04:54I kicked him out for cheating with a female lobbyist. What a bastard. If it was him, everything made sense.
05:01He hated me for destroying his political future. So he stole my daughter. He replaced her with a bastard he
05:08had with some wild woman.
05:10Then he watched me hold that bastard in my hands. He watched me protect her like a treasure as she
05:15grew up. Good. Truly excellent.
05:18I hung up the phone. I looked at the woman on the stretcher. My own daughter was struggling to survive
05:24in the mud of a foreign land.
05:26Edward's bastard wore the title of a political family heir. She married a rising congressman. She wore gold and silver.
05:33I turned and walked into the cabin. I took out my tablet. I pulled up the financial system of the
05:38Capitol Hill caucus.
05:39My political action committee had suppressed Edward in recent years. But he was still hanging on in local elections thanks
05:46to his son-in-law, Congressman Reed.
05:48I looked at the data reports on the screen. A cold smile curled on my lips. I took out my
05:54phone. I dialed my chief of staff back home.
05:57Notify all caucus leaders. An emergency closed door meeting will be held at 9 tomorrow morning.
06:02Also cut off all funding to every super cap under Edward's name. I want him on his knees begging me
06:08within three days.
06:10My chief of staff on the other end asked no questions. He simply took the order. The yacht cut through
06:15the waves.
06:16It carried me in my burning rage toward that city about to be overturned by a political storm.
06:21The rain in Washington fell thick and steady. I returned to my top floor luxury apartment in Georgetown.
06:28Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the dazzling night view of the city of power.
06:33But I found the scenery unbearably glaring. Just then, my phone rang. It was my fake daughter, Isabella.
06:39Her voice was coquettish. It carried a sense of entitled arrogance.
06:42Mom, why didn't you tell me you were going to South America?
06:46Daniel has his eye on a piece of land in Northern Virginia. He wants to build a data center.
06:51We are still 50 million short. Just take a little from the family trust.
06:57Your Senate seat will be passed down to me anyway.
07:00My hand holding the phone tightened slightly. Money again.
07:04Ever since she was a child, whenever she called me on her own, it was always about these two words.
07:09I used to think maybe I had spoiled her. So I never really cared.
07:14But at this moment, I suddenly realized something.
07:17Maybe she had known all along she was not my real daughter.
07:20Maybe they were even in this together. That was why she dared to demand so recklessly.
07:26She wanted to bleed me dry. So this time, I did not say yes. I only spoke coldly.
07:3250 million is not a small sum. Come home tomorrow. We will talk in person.
07:37My tone was flat. It revealed no emotion. Isabella let out a cheer on the other end.
07:42She hung up promptly.
07:43At noon the next day, she walked into my living room in 10-centimeter red-soled heels.
07:48Her hips swayed as she moved. She casually tossed her Hermes bag worth hundreds of thousands onto the sofa.
07:54Mom, I brought the letter of intent. You just need to sign it.
07:58Her face was full of smiles. I picked up my coffee. I took a sip.
08:02My gaze crossed the rim of the cup. I studied the woman before me. She was very beautiful.
08:08Her features indeed carried a trace of my younger self. That old fox, Edward, had truly found a perfect substitute.
08:15Not so fast. I set down my coffee.
08:18How has your health been lately? You don't look so well. Really?
08:23Maybe Daniel and I went to the Republican fundraising dinner last night. We got home too late.
08:28You have been frail since childhood. Do you remember? That high fever when you were nine almost killed you.
08:35I stared straight at her. Isabella's movements paused for a second.
08:40Yes. Thank goodness Dad took care of me day and night. That tattoo on your lower back.
08:44I suddenly changed the subject. How is it doing lately?
08:48Isabella's body visibly stiffened. Lift it up. Let me take a look.
08:52Isabella bit her lip. She reluctantly lifted the hem of her silk flouse.
08:58June 12, 2001. It was left by a modern tattoo machine deliberately imitating handwriting.
09:05Just as I thought. Isabella fixed her clothes.
09:08Mom, about the data center. Tell Daniel to come talk to me himself.
09:13I interrupted her. Isabella froze. She did not expect my refusal.
09:17But Daniel is pushing a bill recently. He is very busy.
09:21He may be busy. But he still must ask for support in person.
09:27I am tired. You go back first.
09:30Isabella's face turned sour. She dared not throw a tantrum.
09:34She grabbed her bag and left in a huff. The next morning, Old White called.
09:40Madam Senator, we found a large sum of money Edward recently moved to Columbia.
09:44We found out Daniel Reed went there three years ago under the name of a fact-finding trip.
09:49The place he went was exactly that black market area where you rescued the real young lady.
09:55Daniel.
09:56I never expected my son-in-law, who had always acted so gentle and promising, was also involved.
10:02I pulled open the drawer. I took out a fully loaded Sig Sauer pistol.
10:06The game had entered its next phase. I would let them know what it truly means to wish for death.
10:10I gave the order into the phone.
10:12Investigate all overseas warehousing assets under Daniel Reed's name.
10:16I want to know the flow of every dollar of his lobbying funds.
10:19I would make them feel the pain my daughter had suffered.
10:22A private sanatorium in the Maryland suburbs.
10:24I pushed open the door of the intensive care unit. On the hospital bed lay my real daughter.
10:31And at this moment, she was sleeping quietly.
10:34Looking at her face, my heart clenched with pain again and again.
10:39Just then, my phone vibrated. It was a message from the security guard at the entrance.
10:44Madam Senator, Miss Reed is outside making a scene. She demands to come in.
10:48Isabella.
10:50I never expected she would find this place. It seemed she and Daniel had been having people watch my movements
10:56all along.
10:57Let her in, I replied.
10:59A few minutes later, the sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor echoed in the hallway.
11:05Isabella pushed the door open furiously.
11:08Mom, why did you come to such a remote place?
11:12I have been looking everywhere for you. That data center contract?
11:15Her voice stopped abruptly. Her gaze locked tightly onto the woman on the hospital bed.
11:20I saw it clearly. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
11:24Who is she?
11:26Isabella's voice changed pitch. It was sharp and trembling.
11:29I stood up. I walked step by step toward her.
11:33Do you not know her?
11:35Isabella shook her head desperately. She kept backing away.
11:40No. How could I know her?
11:43Really? Maybe you didn't see clearly from too far away.
11:48Come. Take a good look.
11:52Isabella screamed in pain, but she squeezed her eyes shut and dared not open them.
11:57Let me go! Mom, have you gone mad?
12:00She collapsed onto the floor. She covered her head and cried.
12:04I really don't know her!
12:07I really don't know her!
12:11I crouched down. I pinched her chin and forced her to look into my eyes.
12:16Isabella's face was smeared with tears and snot.
12:19Mom, why have you driven you go like this? I don't understand what you're saying!
12:24I let go. I took out a handkerchief and wiped my fingers with disgust.
12:29It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will understand slowly.
12:33Go back and tell Daniel, tomorrow, bring Edward and crawl to my office to see me.
12:39Otherwise, face the consequences yourself.
12:41Isabella scrambled and crawled out of the ward.
12:44I watched her pathetic figure retreat. I smiled coldly. This was just the appetizer.
12:51Hope on the hospital bed suddenly let out a faint whimper.
12:55I turned around immediately and walked over. She had opened her eyes at some point.
13:00She was staring fiercely in the direction of the door. She knew Isabella.
13:05Perhaps Isabella had even tortured her with her own hands.
13:09Don't be afraid. Mom is here. Those who hurt you, Mom won't let a single one of them go.
13:15I walked out of the sanatorium. The rain outside was even heavier. Barnes held up a black umbrella.
13:20He opened the car door for me.
13:22Madam Senator, Daniel has made a move. He moved Edward to the Reed family estate.
13:27And he just contacted an account in the Cayman Islands.
13:32Keep a close watch on that account.
13:33Also, have the caucus finance committee pull out every original debt record of the Reed family's political contributions.
13:41I want to see the Reed family's capital chain break before the sun sheds tomorrow.
13:45I would let them know, in front of absolute power, their schemes and tricks could never step onto the stage.
13:51The next morning, the top floor conference room of the Senate caucus.
13:54I toyed with the Sig Sauer in my hand.
13:56The door of the conference room was suddenly shoved open.
13:59Daniel strode in aggressively. Edward huddled behind him. His face was sallow.
14:03Barnes immediately drew his gun and aimed it at Daniel.
14:08Mother-in-law, don't be so angry. We are all one family.
14:11If there anything we could sit down and gore, we can sit down and talk it.
14:15I sneered. I slapped the gun onto the table.
14:17Edward, you bastard. Don't we have a score to settle?
14:21Edward trembled in fright. He dared not look me in the eye.
14:24Mother-in-law, I don't understand what you are saying. Isabella came back very shaken yesterday.
14:29You used a woman of unknown origin to frighten her. That was not appropriate.
14:33Unknown origin? Is she really of unknown origin?
14:37Daniel, do I need to remind you? Three years ago, you went to the black market in Columbia yourself.
14:42You gave Boss $200,000. You told him to just keep her breathing. Don't let her die.
14:46You haven't forgotten this, have you?
14:48Daniel's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
14:52Mother-in-law, you talking about, I don't understand.
14:55I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
14:57Do it.
14:58Then I pressed the intercom on the table. In less than five minutes, Daniel's phone rang frantically.
15:04He answered the call. His face instantly turned pale.
15:07What did you say? The biggest donor pulled out? All lobbying groups stopped cooperation?
15:12The IRS moved in? The media started exposing scandals?
15:16Fight to the death? You are not worthy.
15:20He shot up from his seat. He stared at me fiercely.
15:24I still have a trump card.
15:25Trump card.
15:27Hearing these two words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
15:30Isn't it just holding my biological daughter in your hands?
15:34I'm sorry, but your scheme is about to fail.
15:37So I clapped my hands. Old White walked in from the side door.
15:41He tossed a file bag onto the table in front of Daniel.
15:44The man froze for a moment. As if sensing what was coming, he opened the file bag with trembling hands.
15:51At this moment, Daniel's face turned deathly pale.
15:54Seeing everything was exposed, Edward beside him put his hands together in prayer and shook his head frantically.
16:00Victoria, I was wrong. Blame it on my foolish obsession back then. That woman forced me.
16:06There was an accomplice. I kicked him to the ground.
16:10Speak. Who is that woman?
16:12Just then, Old White's phone rang. He answered the call. His face turned extremely grim.
16:18Old White covered the phone. His voice trembled.
16:20Madam Senator, bad news. The sanatorium sent word. Miss Hope is missing.
16:28Darkness clouded my vision. I grabbed Daniel by the tie.
16:32Mary, take her!
16:33Daniel suddenly burst into wild laughter.
16:36Victoria, even if you destroy the Reed family, so what?
16:40You will never find your biological daughter.
16:43By now, she has probably been cut into pieces and thrown into the Atlantic to feed the sharks.
16:51I drew my Sig Sauer. I pressed it directly against Daniel's forehead.
16:56Talk. Where is she?
16:58The air in the conference room seemed to freeze. My finger was on the trigger.
17:02My knuckles turned white from the excessive force.
17:05Daniel looked at the black muzzle. His laughter stopped abruptly.
17:09He clenched his teeth. He refused to speak no matter what.
17:13He knew that if he spoke, he would lose his only bargaining chip.
17:17Madam Senator, I found something.
17:18Ten minutes before Miss Hope disappeared, a black unmarked van left the sanatorium.
17:24Federal surveillance shows that the van got on the beltway.
17:27It headed toward the abandoned industrial docks in Baltimore.
17:30Barnes, have someone watch these two wastes.
17:32A dozen black Chevrolet Suburbans shot out of the underground garage of the caucus headquarters like a black storm.
17:39Rain lashed against the windshield. The windshield wipers swung wildly.
17:43My heart rose to my throat. Hope had just crawled out of hell.
17:48She must not fall into their claws again.
17:50The convoy sped to the industrial docks in Baltimore.
17:53The gate was locked with iron chains.
17:57Ram it open. I ordered coldly.
18:00The lead car suddenly accelerated. It crashed straight through the chains.
18:05Barnes made a gesture. The bodyguards fanned out with their guns raised.
18:08I held my cig sour. I followed closely behind.
18:12C4 explosives were strapped to her body. They were counting down.
18:16Isabella stood beside her. She held a detonator in her hand.
18:20Her face was full of madness.
18:22Stop! Don't come any closer!
18:25I raised my hand. I signaled everyone to stop.
18:28Isabella, you can't escape now. Put down the detonator. I will leave you a whole corpse.
18:32Aurea, you bastard! Why can't you just accept me as your daughter?!
18:36Why did you have to bring her back?!
18:40I know you know the truth about everything now. You will never let me go! Since I can't live, then
18:46we will die together!
18:48As she spoke, she suddenly raised the detonator.
18:50I raised my hand without hesitation. I pulled the trigger. The bullet hit Isabella's wrist with precision.
18:56In an instant, the detonator flew out of her hand. It fell into a puddle on the ground.
19:00Isabella let out a scream. She clutched her wrist and collapsed to her knees. Barnes was quick.
19:05He pinned Isabella down firmly. Take her back.
19:07I looked up at Isabella pinned to the ground. My gaze was ice cold.
19:12I will make her spit out everything she swallowed. Ten times. A hundred times.
19:16An abandoned bunker in Northern Virginia.
19:18Issa was tied to an iron chair. I walked toward her step by step in my high heels.
19:23Whose bastard are you, really?
19:25I looked down at her from above. Isabella bit her lip. Her eyes darted away.
19:30I don't know what you are talking about.
19:35Isabella shivered violently from the cold. She let out a sharp scream. Still playing tough.
19:40Edward already confessed. You are not some orphan. You are the illegitimate daughter of him and that whore.
19:48You lived the good life of a political family heir for 20 years.
19:52My daughter was tortured like a dog in Columbia.
19:57Isabella, what right do you have to cry innocent here?
20:00Under my barrage of questions, she burst into wailing sobs.
20:04My mother forced me. When I was nine, she forced me to get plastic surgery to look like your daughter.
20:09She said only then could I live a good life.
20:11Just as I thought. Just as I thought. Everything was planned from the start.
20:16Who is that whore?
20:16I tightened my grip.
20:19It's... it's your chief of staff.
20:21Isabella spat out a name that shocked me.
20:26Cassandra, that confidant who had followed me for 15 years.
20:29She was the real culprit who stole my daughter.
20:31Rage instantly swallowed my reason.
20:33I immediately took out my phone. I dialed Cassandra's number. It was turned off.
20:37Old White, find Cassandra's whereabouts. She can't have gone far.
20:40Ten minutes later, Old White called back.
20:42Madam Senator?
20:44Cassandra boarded a private to Switzerland an hour ago.
20:47And she emptied all the funds from several of your overseas political action nuisance.
20:51A full 50 million dollars.
20:53I was so furious I laughed. I turned and looked at Isabella.
20:56You see? Your mother ran away.
20:57She left you here as the scapegoat. Scapegoat.
21:00Tell me, how do you think I will torture you?
21:04Isabella trembled in terror. She begged for mercy again and again.
21:08Mom, for the sake of calling you mom for 20 years, please spare me.
21:13I will give you all the Reed family money. I will like a horse to repain you.
21:18Shut up.
21:19I turned my head away in disgust.
21:20Barnes, bring the pliers.
21:22My daughter suffered.
21:23She must experience every bit of it exactly the same way.
21:27Isabella's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the bunker.
21:30I turned a deaf ear.
21:31I turned around and walked out of the bunker.
21:33Three days later, the largest underground casino in Atlantic City.
21:37Edward was dragged out of a dog cage by several burly men.
21:41He had not slept for days and nights.
21:44His whole body reeked of a sour stench.
21:47The casino owner respectfully handed over an IOU.
21:49Edward lost 80 million here in the past few days.
21:52He mortgaged all his properties, his cars, and even Daniel's share of political contributions.
21:57I took the IOU.
21:59Edward, you have really made something of yourself.
22:02Victoria, save me.
22:03I am less than human.
22:05I was tricked by that bitch Cassandra.
22:07I deserve to die.
22:08Cassandra is already living it up in Switzerland with your money.
22:11I should never have believed that poisonous woman.
22:13Victoria, for the sake of the years we were husband and wife, give me a way out.
22:18When you switched my daughter, did you leave her a way out?
22:22When you watched Cassandra steal my money, did you leave me a way out?
22:26I walked up to him.
22:27I looked down at this man who had once shared my bed.
22:34I will pay off this 80 million debt for you.
22:37Edward jerked his head up.
22:38A glimmer of hope lit his eyes.
22:40But the condition is this.
22:42You will go to the black market.
22:44You will sell your liver, your kidneys, and your coracles.
22:47All the money will be donated to the Anti-Human Trafficking Charity Foundation.
22:51No!
22:53You can't do this!
22:55That's murder!
22:55Barnes, do it.
22:58Several bodyguards stepped forward.
23:00They dragged Edward out like a dead dog.
23:03His screams slowly faded into the depths of the corridor.
23:06With Edward dealt with, I returned to my office in Washington.
23:09Daniel was already in FBI custody.
23:12He was suspected of money laundering, murder for hire, and multiple other felonies.
23:17He would never get out for the rest of his life.
23:19Not enough.
23:20But this was not enough.
23:21Cassandra was still out there.
23:23She was still free.
23:24I dialed Old White's number.
23:27Have you found Cassandra's exact location in Zurich?
23:30We found it, Madam Senator.
23:32She bought a lakeside villa.
23:35She has over a dozen private bodyguards with her.
23:38Send the location to the Blackwater mercenaries.
23:41Tell them I want her alive.
23:43If they cannot bring her back alive, then bring back her head.
23:46I hung up the phone.
23:47I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
23:49Only the last piece of my revenge puzzle remained.
23:52Half a month later, a private helicopter landed on the lawn of the Virginia estate.
23:57The rotor blades churned up a huge windstorm.
24:00Several fully-armed mercenaries escorted a woman with a black hood over her head down the steps.
24:05The black hood was ripped off.
24:07Cassandra's terrified face was revealed.
24:10Madam Senator!
24:11Madam Senator, spare my life!
24:13I will return all the money!
24:15Every last penny!
24:17Cassandra fell straight to her knees on the lawn.
24:19Cassandra wept heart-wrenchingly.
24:21For the sake of the 15 years I served you, give me a way out!
24:2515 years.
24:26You followed me for 15 years.
24:29You ate my food.
24:30You wore my clothes.
24:31You spent my money.
24:33Behind my back, you climbed into my husband's bed.
24:35You gave birth to a bastard and swapped away my own daughter!
24:40Cassandra, did a dog eat your conscience?
24:43I'm so sorry!
24:45It was Edward who seduced me!
24:47He forced me!
24:49He said you were too doministic!
24:51He couldn't take it!
24:52He said the one he loved was me!
24:55I am just a weak woman!
24:58What could I have done?
25:00I laughed coldly.
25:01A weak woman?
25:04A weak woman who hired Colombian gangs to torture my daughter into a human stick?
25:09A weak woman who stole 50 million dollars and fled overseas?
25:13I took an electric baton from a bodyguard.
25:16I jabbed it directly into Cassandra's stomach.
25:18High voltage current shot through her entire body instantly.
25:22Cassandra let out an inhuman shriek.
25:24Her whole body convulsed.
25:26She collapsed to the ground.
25:28Foam came out of her mouth.
25:29Her eyes rolled back.
25:30I threw the electric baton back to the bodyguard in disgust.
25:34Take her to the kennel in the backyard.
25:36I turned and walked into the house.
25:38Sunlight fell on Hope's face.
25:40The muscles at the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
25:43A stiff smile appeared on her face.
25:45All the enemies had received their due punishment.
25:47I walked to the liquor cabinet.
25:49I poured two glasses of bourbon whiskey.
25:51I handed one glass to Hope.
25:53Her hand trembled.
25:54She struggled to hold the glass.
25:56The two glasses clinked gently together.
25:58Hope, let's toast to a new life.
26:01They made a clear, crisp sound.
