00:00:01My name is Brenna Barrett. For 20 years, I believed I was this family's daughter.

00:00:09That all changed today, when they found their real daughter.

00:00:12I finally realized I was nothing but a tool to them.

00:00:16Brenna, why must it come to this?

00:00:18We found our biological daughter, but that doesn't mean you have to leave.

00:00:23Take this money. Your biological parents are dirt poor.

00:00:26I doubt they can even send a car to pick you up.

00:00:28There's probably no more than $1,000 in that envelope.

00:00:31That's what 20 years in this family is worth.

00:00:36No need. They have already sent a car.

00:00:39Brenna, what's with that attitude?

00:00:41We raised you for 20 years and you can't even say thank you?

00:00:45Mom, don't blame her. She never even finished elementary school.

00:00:49What manners could she possibly have?

00:00:51Right. I never finished elementary school.

00:00:55Because when I was 10, they forced me to stay home drawing blueprints, turning me into their money-making machine.

00:01:02Your wealth.

00:01:03Your company.

00:01:05The reason you're where you are today.

00:01:09All of it is because of my designs.

00:01:11Nonsense!

00:01:12The Barrett family's success is built on our own hard work.

00:01:17Goodbye.

00:01:18I turn and leave.

00:01:20My backpack hangs on my shoulder.

00:01:23I don't look back.

00:01:25Brenna, wait!

00:01:26I have a parting gift for you.

00:01:29This bracelet costs over $100,000.

00:01:33If things get tough, you can sell it for emergencies.

00:01:39I don't need it.

00:01:42Just as she forces it into my hands, her fingers hook the chain, peeking out from my backpack side pocket.

00:01:51Brenna!

00:01:52How dare you steal my necklace?

00:01:55That's my engagement necklace from Jordi.

00:01:58Worth $1,800,000.

00:02:00I see the sly glint flashing through Isabella's eyes.

00:02:04This was a trap she set.

00:02:06She's been waiting for me to jump in.

00:02:07And that so-called gift is the fuse that's about to ignite everything.

00:02:12Brenna!

00:02:12How dare you steal my necklace?

00:02:14Brenna!

00:02:15Isabella's scream draws Alec and Ruby.

00:02:17They rush over, staring at the necklace in Isabella's hands, their faces filled with disappointment.

00:02:23Brenna, I offered you money, and you turned it down only to do this?

00:02:29She must have thought the money was too little, so she helped herself to something more valuable.

00:02:33I didn't steal the necklace.

00:02:35Then explain why it ended up in your bag.

00:02:37I stare at the necklace.

00:02:39The chain is thick, the stones are large, but the craftsmanship is crude.

00:02:43The cut and color matching are beneath standard.

00:02:47I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something this poorly made.

00:02:51Besides, when I packed my things in the attic, that necklace wasn't in my bag.

00:02:55It was you, Isabella, who slipped it in with your own hands.

00:02:59Shut up, you ungrateful brat!

00:03:01We raised you, and this is how you repay us?

00:03:05Mom!

00:03:11Though she stole my necklace and my design drafts, since we're family, I'll let this slide.

00:03:18I watch her wave a blue folder in the air, and I can't help but laugh.

00:03:25Those are my designs.

00:03:26A nuclear-powered cargo ship propulsion system.

00:03:29Take a good look.

00:03:30The title is written in Amlin's language.

00:03:32You never even finished elementary school.

00:03:35How could you possibly understand any of this?

00:03:37I hold the blueprints up to the light.

00:03:40In the lower right corner, my personal anti-counterfeit watermark faintly appears.

00:03:46This is my personal mark.

00:03:50Feel free to compare it to Isabella's designs.

00:03:54Hers are all garbage.

00:03:57Isabella!

00:04:00Isabella, I thought these were trash, so I threw them in the trash can.

00:04:05These are your design drafts.

00:04:07The air freezes.

00:04:09I look at Alec's ashen face, and suddenly feel a deep, bitter irony.

00:04:14They never knew.

00:04:15I've long stopped being that little girl they could push around.

00:04:19When I walk out of the Barrett house, my phone buzzes.

00:04:22It's a message from someone claiming to be my sister.

00:04:25She says the family is tied up with work, and wants me to go to Flavor Restaurant first.

00:04:30The most exclusive establishment in Shire, with a minimum spend of $10,000.

00:04:36Excuse me, are you Miss Brenna Harper?

00:04:40The lady from the Harper family waited for over an hour, but had to leave for an urgent matter.

00:04:45The dishes are all served.

00:04:46Please enjoy.

00:04:48A table full of dishes spreads before me.

00:04:51I sit alone at a large round table that can seat six.

00:04:56I thought this was the first warmth for my biological family.

00:05:01Miss, could you please settle the bill?

00:05:04The total is $109,800.

00:05:08If you fail to pay, I'll have no choice but to call the police.

00:05:17Can't even afford a meal, and you dare to come to a place like this?

00:05:22How about this?

00:05:23Kneel down and polish my shoes.

00:05:24I'll pay your bill for you.

00:05:28Sylvie Higgins, Vivian Morrison, two rich girls in haute couture and flawless makeup.

00:05:36Who are you?

00:05:37I don't know you.

00:05:40Who we are doesn't matter.

00:05:43What matters is that you don't belong here.

00:05:50Vivian raises her hand.

00:05:52I see the undeguised malice in her eyes.

00:05:56A hand grabs her wrist from behind.

00:05:59The man is Ethan Mitchell.

00:06:01The world's richest man, head of the Mitchell group.

00:06:04How dare you cause trouble at Flavor Restaurant?

00:06:07He's the kind of man who calls the shots in Shirir.

00:06:12Mr. Mitchell?

00:06:15Mr. Mitchell, the person who instructed the waitress and these two ladies to cause trouble is Rosie Harper.

00:06:21Now tell me, how dare you bully my fiancé?

00:06:25The entire restaurant falls silence in an instant.

00:06:29I stare at this devastatingly handsome man.

00:06:32Only one thought in my mind.

00:06:35Since when did I become his fiancé?

00:06:38Rosie Harper is my real parent's niece.

00:06:40When she walks in from the entrance, a sweet smile is still plastered on her face.

00:06:45She sees Ethan first.

00:06:47Then me.

00:06:49Ethan, what are you doing here?

00:06:51Rosie, explain.

00:06:54Why do this waitress and these two ladies all say you were the one who instructed them to pick on

00:06:58Brenna?

00:07:00Me?

00:07:01How could I possibly do something like that?

00:07:03Brenna is my cousin.

00:07:05Rosie, I have your transfer records.

00:07:07You paid me $5,000 to demand payment from Brenna.

00:07:10I also have our chat logs to prove it.

00:07:12Every transfer record and chat logs is highlighted in red.

00:07:16Sylvie and Vivian both avert their eyes from Rosie.

00:07:19Mr. Mitchell, the private room at Flavor Restaurant, has surveillance.

00:07:23Miss Rosie remained there for over an hour during which she repeatedly called the waitress.

00:07:27And these two ladies, the timestamps and call records align perfectly with the sequence of events.

00:07:32I'm sorry, Brenna.

00:07:33I was just trying to play a prank.

00:07:35I never meant to actually hurt you.

00:07:36A prank?

00:07:38You ordered over $100,000 worth of food and had a waitress force a person who was just kicked out

00:07:42of her home to pay.

00:07:43If Ethan hadn't come, I'd be at the police station right now.

00:07:47Sylvie Higgins, Vivian Morrison.

00:07:49On behalf of Mitchell Group, I am formally informing you.

00:07:52All our collaborations with Higgins Group and Morrison Group are terminated.

00:07:56Effective today.

00:07:57Sylvie's and Vivian's faces turn as white as paper.

00:08:00They know Ethan's punishment is a devastating blow to their families.

00:08:03All because they came here today and humiliated me.

00:08:08Rosie, you're a Harper, so I'll let this go today.

00:08:10But if you make things difficult for Brennan again, I won't hold back.

00:08:14I promise this won't happen again.

00:08:16She lifts her head and gives Ethan a faint smile.

00:08:19But as she passes by me, I hear her whisper.

00:08:24You think this is over?

00:08:26This is only the beginning.

00:08:32The farce finally ends.

00:08:37Get in.

00:08:38I'll take you home.

00:08:44I get into a Rolls Royce driven by the world's richest man.

00:08:47The leather seats are soft.

00:08:51Thank you for helping me today.

00:08:53How about treating me to a meal?

00:08:56The world's richest man wants me to treat him to a meal.

00:08:59I can't help but laugh.

00:09:03He pulls out his phone to exchange contacts with me.

00:09:06I hesitate for a moment, but give in.

00:09:10The car smoothly enters an affluent neighborhood.

00:09:15My heartbeat quickens without me realizing it.

00:09:17Did you know there's a marriage arrangement between the Mitchell and Harper families?

00:09:21A marriage arrangement?

00:09:22I turn to look at him.

00:09:24He's gripping the steering wheel,

00:09:25and the profile of his face under the streetlights is like a perfect sculpture.

00:09:30It was arranged by my grandfather and yours.

00:09:32A son of the Mitchell family is to marry a daughter of the Harper family.

00:09:35For the past two years, my grandfather has been urging me to fulfill this promise.

00:09:39But I never took it seriously until I met you.

00:09:42Are you saying you want to marry me?

00:09:44Brenna, I want you to consider it.

00:09:45Marry me.

00:09:47The world's richest man is proposing to me.

00:09:49No flowers, no ring, no bended knee.

00:09:57I need to think about it.

00:09:59Fine.

00:10:00I'll wait for your answer.

00:10:03The car stops in front of a magnificent estate.

00:10:06Ethan's car disappears around the corner.

00:10:08I turn around and face the enormous iron gate.

00:10:13The Barretts told me my biological parents lived in a poor, remote village.

00:10:17Yet this estate is clearly in the most expensive part of Shiri.

00:10:23I take a deep breath and press the doorbell.

00:10:25It rings three times.

00:10:27No one comes.

00:10:30The July sun beats down on me.

00:10:32Sweat drips down my forehead.

00:10:34They said they'd send someone to pick me up.

00:10:36Yet they won't even let me through the gate.

00:10:39It seems my real family doesn't care about me at all.

00:10:46Who are you looking for?

00:10:49I'm the daughter of the Harper family lost 20 years ago.

00:10:53Impossible.

00:10:54Rosie personally went to pick up Brenna.

00:10:56They should be arriving together.

00:10:57Did you hear the news and decided to impersonate her?

00:11:00I am Brenna Harper.

00:11:03Look at what you're wearing.

00:11:04You're dressed worse than us servants.

00:11:06How could the Harper family's eldest daughter dress like this?

00:11:08I stare at this middle-aged woman in a housekeeper's uniform.

00:11:12There isn't a shred of respect in her eyes.

00:11:14What's all the racket?

00:11:15Has Brenna come home?

00:11:17A man with gray-streaked hair steps out of the elevator.

00:11:20His steps are steady, and his gaze pauses on my face.

00:11:24I'm your uncle, Abelson Harper.

00:11:27You look exactly like your mother.

00:11:28I recognized you at first glance.

00:11:30Come in.

00:11:35Wow.

00:11:37My uncle leads me through the enormous living room.

00:11:40Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with sunlight.

00:11:43Your room is on the third floor, the one on the east side.

00:11:46It's been kept for you since the day you were taken.

00:11:49A suite that's 150 square meters.

00:11:52Separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom.

00:11:57Bigger than all the rooms in the Barrett house combined.

00:12:03I don't know what to say.

00:12:05A corner of my heart is slowly softening.

00:12:08She's dressed worse than us servants.

00:12:10Just because her face resembles Mrs. Harper's, she gets to be the eldest daughter of the Harper family?

00:12:16Only Rosie deserves this family.

00:12:18I won't let anyone take away what belongs to her.

00:12:23I peel off the clothes soaked through with sweat and step into the shower.

00:12:27The moment the hot water hits me, I nearly cry.

00:12:31At the Barretts, I could only use the cold water left after they were done.

00:12:37I turn off the water and come out wrapped in a towel, but the bed is empty.

00:12:41My clothes and backpack are gone.

00:12:43Brenna!

00:12:44Brenna, Mrs. Harper didn't prepare any clothes for you.

00:12:47I took your clothes to be washed.

00:12:49This is an old dress of Rosie's.

00:12:51You'll have to make do for now.

00:12:53I stare at the wrinkled black dress.

00:12:55Sweat stains on the collar.

00:12:57Loose threads on the cuffs.

00:12:58Clearly worn and unwashed.

00:13:00She took everything I had and gave me someone else's dirty hand-me-down.

00:13:04She did this on purpose.

00:13:06Take it away.

00:13:07I'm not wearing that.

00:13:09Brenna, don't be so ungrateful.

00:13:11You can't go to dinner wrapped in a towel, can you?

00:13:15Her face shows undisguised satisfaction.

00:13:17She leaves, leaving behind that ragged dress.

00:13:24Just as I sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what to do next, the doorbell rings.

00:13:32Brenna, your M&G order has arrived.

00:13:35Fifty-three pieces in total, worth thirty million dollars.

00:13:37You've made a mistake. The Harper family's daughter is Rosie.

00:13:41Take all of this to her walk-in closet.

00:13:45Leave them. They're all mine.

00:13:50Brenna, these clothes total thirty million dollars.

00:13:53Can you even afford them?

00:13:55You're mistaken.

00:13:56This is M&G's elite collection.

00:13:57Every piece is one of kind.

00:13:58Each garment is worth over five million dollars.

00:14:00Besides, these are all gifts from Brenna's friend, the founder of M&G.

00:14:03Not a single cent needs to be paid.

00:14:05I watch Rachel's face shift from smugness to shock, then to anger.

00:14:09Rosie Harper, you sent your servant to humiliate me, but you forgot one thing.

00:14:15I have never been someone you can push around.

00:14:20At six in the evening, the Harper family members start returning home.

00:14:23I change into the beige, floral M&G dress and head downstairs.

00:14:27Rosie is sitting on the sofa, and the moment she sees me,

00:14:30a flash of hostility crosses her eyes.

00:14:34Here, Brenna.

00:14:34I made you some ice cream.

00:14:39Brenna!

00:14:40How could you do this to me?

00:14:42I was kind enough to offer you ice cream, and you threw it all over me!

00:14:47Grandpa!

00:14:48Aunt Giselle!

00:14:49Look at me!

00:14:50This dress is brand new, and now it's ruined!

00:14:53Rosie rushes over, tears already streaming down her face.

00:14:58Before you scold me, please take a look at this.

00:15:01I pull out my phone and pull up the restaurant's surveillance footage.

00:15:04In the recording, Rosie smugly ordering the waitress to demand payment from me early is crystal clear.

00:15:10Rosie, I am so disappointed in you.

00:15:14Apologize to Brenna.

00:15:16Now!

00:15:17I'm sorry, Brenna.

00:15:19I shouldn't have played that prank.

00:15:22I look at Rosie.

00:15:23Her head bowed.

00:15:24Her apology is perfunctory.

00:15:28Giselle walked to my side and take my hand.

00:15:31Mom owes you too much.

00:15:33From now on, I won't let anyone bully you.

00:15:37I look at Giselle's reddening eyes.

00:15:39In 20 years at the Barretts, I've never felt this kind of warmth.

00:15:43The dinner table is covered in exquisite dishes.

00:15:46The air is filled with the aroma of black truffles and roasted meat.

00:15:51Brenna, I'm your father, Shepard Harper.

00:15:53And this is your mother, Giselle.

00:15:56He's the chairman of Harper Group.

00:15:58His eyes are gentle, but carry an unquestionable authority.

00:16:03Brenna, this is your eldest brother, Ernst.

00:16:07He manages the daily operations of Harper Group and is the company's vice president.

00:16:11I look at all these unfamiliar faces.

00:16:14Some warm, some cold.

00:16:16I don't know how to respond.

00:16:18I'm their family.

00:16:19But this is my first time sharing a meal with them.

00:16:23I heard you only attended elementary school for four years.

00:16:26Even if you struggled, you should have at least finished elementary school.

00:16:30If you hadn't come back to the Harper family, how would you survive?

00:16:35The entire table falls silent in an instant.

00:16:38All eyes focus on me and Ernst.

00:16:43You think I dropped out by choice?

00:16:46It was the Barretts' decision.

00:16:47They saw my design talent and stopped me from going to school,

00:16:51forcing me to draw blueprints to earn money for them.

00:17:00His eyes are cold, a faint trace of mockery at the corner of his lips.

00:17:04I set down my fork.

00:17:06It seems this family dinner is far from the simple affair I thought it would be.

00:17:10I will prove myself.

00:17:12But not now.

00:17:14Not here.

00:17:16I stand up and leave.

00:17:19Whispers rise behind me, but I don't look back.

00:17:22Actually, I'm going out tonight.

00:17:24Someone referred a patient to me, offering $10 million.

00:17:28It's more than enough for me to establish myself in the Harper family.

00:17:32I arrive as the last disciple of the legendary Dr. Cuthbert Pierce

00:17:36to treat a retired military commander, Vincent Mitchell.

00:17:40What I don't expect is that he's Ethan's grandfather.

00:17:43You're Dr. Pierce's last disciple?

00:17:45You've got to be kidding me.

00:17:46How old are you? Barely 20?

00:17:48Lindsay Cohen, an attending physician at this hospital,

00:17:51who made department head in her early 30s,

00:17:54she looks at me with contempt.

00:17:55Young lady, do you even know who's lying in there?

00:17:58A retired military commander.

00:18:00Even experts like us aren't qualified to treat him.

00:18:03Who do you think you are?

00:18:05Landon Scott, a senior internal medicine specialist

00:18:08who's been in the field for over 20 years.

00:18:10He hasn't even asked my name and already decided I'm a fraud.

00:18:13We're waiting for Dr. Pierce's last disciple.

00:18:16Someone at least in their 40s.

00:18:18Experienced, highly skilled.

00:18:20How could it be you?

00:18:22If you can actually treat the old commander, we'll apologize to you.

00:18:26Deal.

00:18:29I walk away and sit down on a chair in the corridor.

00:18:32If not for money, I wouldn't waste a second on these people.

00:18:36Ethan, where's Dr. Pierce's disciple?

00:18:38It's been over half an hour already.

00:18:41Theo Mitchell, Ethan's cousin.

00:18:43He's on the phone with Ethan.

00:18:45I glance at my watch.

00:18:46Christopher should be out of surgery soon.

00:18:48He's Dr. Pierce's grandson,

00:18:50and my classmate from medical school.

00:18:52Only he can verify my identity.

00:18:54I watch the operating room doors at the end of the corridor.

00:18:58The doors finally open.

00:19:00Brenna?

00:19:01Why are you sitting out here?

00:19:03Shouldn't you be inside treating Mr. Vincent?

00:19:05Your colleague said I'm a fraud.

00:19:07They kicked me out.

00:19:08What?

00:19:09Christopher's face flushes red in an instant.

00:19:12He turns around and glares at the group of doctors.

00:19:15Dr. Pierce?

00:19:17You know her?

00:19:19Of course.

00:19:20She's my grandfather's last disciple.

00:19:22You kicked her out as a fraud?

00:19:25Impossible.

00:19:26She's so young.

00:19:28My grandfather takes disciples based on talent, not age.

00:19:31Brenna earned dual master's degrees in medicine and mechanical engineering

00:19:35from Norview University at 18.

00:19:38And you chased away the only one who can actually save Mr. Vincent!

00:19:43Christopher pulls me back towards the hospital room.

00:19:46The doctors who were so arrogant moments ago now can't even look me in the eye.

00:19:53Everyone, this is Dr. Pierce's last disciple, Dr. Brenna Harper.

00:19:59No one speaks.

00:20:01I turn around and push open the door to Vincent's hospital room.

00:20:05Before me, the old man on the bed is barely conscious.

00:20:07His left side is completely paralyzed, his mouth drooping.

00:20:11His eyes are clouded.

00:20:12This is the most difficult kind of post-cerebral hemorrhage case.

00:20:15Outside, those people are still murmuring about me.

00:20:18They believe a young woman like me can't possibly have real skill.

00:20:22Brenna, I believe in you.

00:20:23Ethan stands behind me.

00:20:25He's the only one who never questioned me.

00:20:28I take out the syringes from my medical kit

00:20:30and precisely locate seven nerve targets on Vincent's neck and left side limbs.

00:20:35Each medication formula is my own.

00:20:37Dosage, sequence, injection depth.

00:20:39Off by a single millimeter and it fails.

00:20:43The room is quiet.

00:20:45Everyone holds their breath.

00:20:50My grandfather moves.

00:20:52It's only been minutes.

00:20:54But just as I'm about to leave,

00:20:56three uninvited guests suddenly burst through the door.

00:20:59Brenna, you wretched girl!

00:21:01You never even finished elementary school

00:21:03and you dare to impersonate a doctor here?

00:21:05Mr. Mitchell, you've all been deceived by her.

00:21:08We're the Barretts who adopted her.

00:21:10We know exactly what kind of person she is.

00:21:12Tell the Mitchell family the truth right now.

00:21:16I have no ties to the Barrett family anymore.

00:21:19Please leave.

00:21:20How could you say that?

00:21:22I'm your adoptive father.

00:21:24If you get into trouble,

00:21:26the Barrett family will suffer too.

00:21:30Mr. Mitchell, don't let her fool you.

00:21:33She's been sneaky and lazy since she was a child.

00:21:37I stare at Ruby's twisted face.

00:21:39You forced me to drop out when I was ten,

00:21:41keeping me home to draw blueprints for money.

00:21:43I designed for over ten hours a day.

00:21:46When did you ever let me study?

00:21:47That was to train you.

00:21:49Without our training,

00:21:50would you be where you are today?

00:21:52Enough.

00:21:53Neville, escort the Barrett family out.

00:21:56What are you doing?

00:21:57Don't touch me.

00:21:58Brenna, you're so ungrateful.

00:22:00Brenna, just you wait.

00:22:02You'll regret this.

00:22:06The Barretts are dragged out by security.

00:22:09Ruby's shrieks echoing through the corridor,

00:22:11but I feel nothing in my heart.

00:22:13Are you okay?

00:22:16I'm fine.

00:22:19I've been used to it for a long time.

00:22:22From now on,

00:22:23this won't happen again.

00:22:25Ethan stands in front of me.

00:22:27His presence somehow makes me feel safe.

00:22:29For the first time,

00:22:30I think having someone stand by my side

00:22:32might not be a bad idea.

00:22:37After the Barretts are taken away,

00:22:38the room falls again a quiet.

00:22:40But those doctors look embarrassed.

00:22:46Dr. Harper, please don't hold it against me.

00:22:49I already bowed to you.

00:22:51Can we just let this go?

00:22:53You need to apologize to me.

00:22:55You!

00:22:57If you have a problem with that,

00:22:59I can have the hospital director come and mediate.

00:23:04I'm sorry.

00:23:05Please forgive me.

00:23:10I'm sorry.

00:23:16I shouldn't have judged you by your appearance.

00:23:19Okay.

00:23:20This is the end of it.

00:23:21I want more than just an apology.

00:23:23I need them to understand

00:23:24I am not someone anyone can walk all over.

00:23:33Dr. Harper, please come here.

00:23:40Thank you for saving me.

00:23:43Mr. Vincent, you're welcome.

00:23:45Over the next month, you'll recover gradually.

00:23:49Vincent lifts his hand and grasps mine.

00:23:52He places my hand into Ethan's palm.

00:23:54His mouth curls up slightly.

00:23:56And he tightens his grip on my hand.

00:24:02Grandpa, don't worry.

00:24:04Once you've fully recovered, we'll get married.

00:24:07Ethan and I walk out of the hospital room.

00:24:10I notice the Barretts are still there.

00:24:13The moment Ruby sees me, she immediately puts on a fawning smile.

00:24:18Brenna, look at how outstanding you are.

00:24:21Isn't that all thanks to how we raised you?

00:24:23Mr. Mitchell, everything Brenna has today is all thanks to the Barrett family.

00:24:29Her real parents are poor.

00:24:31They could never have given her this.

00:24:32I stare at Ruby.

00:24:34The light of calculation glimmers in her eyes.

00:24:37She thinks if she lashes onto the Mitchell family, the Barretts can rise again.

00:24:42Everything Barrett group has today came from my contributions.

00:24:47I owe you nothing.

00:24:48Brenna, you're an ungrateful wretch.

00:24:51Just you wait.

00:24:53Ruby's face finally tears away its mask.

00:24:55Her eyes are full of resentment, but I no longer care.

00:25:08Ethan offers me a ride, so we hop into his car.

00:25:17Has this seat been occupied by many people?

00:25:20No.

00:25:21My passenger seat is reserved for you.

00:25:25And from now on, only you.

00:25:29My heart skips a beat.

00:25:30His words are so blunt that I don't know how to respond.

00:25:35The moment we step out of the car, Rosie hushes over in her high heels.

00:25:40Ethan, you're here!

00:25:41Come help me.

00:25:42Do these clothes look good on me?

00:25:43She ignores me completely and leans close to Ethan.

00:25:47I'm here to drop off Brenna.

00:25:49Oh!

00:25:50Brenna, your mother ordered some clothes for you.

00:25:52I picked out a few for myself.

00:25:53You don't mind, right?

00:25:54I glance at the new clothes hanging all over the living room.

00:25:56Rosie already has over 20 pieces draped over her arm.

00:26:00She leaves behind only what she didn't want.

00:26:02I don't mind.

00:26:03Take them all.

00:26:04My fiancé's wardrobe.

00:26:06I'll take care of it.

00:26:07No need for the Harper family to trouble themselves.

00:26:10Rosie's expression changes in an instant.

00:26:13The clothes in her hands drop to the floor.

00:26:16Fiancé?

00:26:17Ethan, you said she's your fiancé?

00:26:19I'm safe!

00:26:24Yes.

00:26:26Brenna and I will be engaged soon.

00:26:27Brenna, you've only been back for a few days.

00:26:31Why do you get what I've been yearning for over 10 years?

00:26:36I won't let you have your way.

00:26:39Ethan can only be mine.

00:26:42Ah!

00:26:50Ernst!

00:26:51Listen to me!

00:26:52Brenna doesn't deserve Ethan at all!

00:26:54What's wrong?

00:26:55Her mother ordered her a bunch of new clothes today.

00:26:58I picked out a few for myself.

00:27:00And she was upset.

00:27:02Ethan even announced in public that she's his fiancé.

00:27:06Ethan was supposed to be mine!

00:27:09But now, Brenna's been back only a few days, and already snatched him away!

00:27:16Regarding the marriage arrangement, Ethan has never shown any interest in you.

00:27:21Don't flatter yourself.

00:27:23Stop dwelling on this.

00:27:25Why not think about how to manage the companies under your name?

00:27:28I come downstairs and happen to overhear their conversation.

00:27:33Ernst glances at me, his eyes still cold.

00:27:37Brenna, Rosie says Ethan announced in public that you're his fiancé.

00:27:41Is that true?

00:27:43Yes.

00:27:49You've only known each other for a few days.

00:27:53Why would he want to marry you?

00:27:54You can go ask him.

00:28:01Brenna,

00:28:02What right do you have to become Ethan's fiancé or inherit the Harper family's assets?

00:28:08When you don't even have a college degree!

00:28:10Shepard's and D. Sayer C. expressions both shift.

00:28:13Only Rosie has a faint smile on her lips.

00:28:16Who told you I don't have a degree?

00:28:18I stand up and retrieve a document folder from my backpack.

00:28:22Inside are all my diplomas and award records.

00:28:24These are my dual master's degrees in mechanical engineering and finance from Norview University.

00:28:31These are all the awards I've won in international design competitions over the past five years.

00:28:39Fake! Fake!

00:28:40They must be fake!

00:28:42Where would you get the money to study abroad?

00:28:45These have certificate numbers and official seals.

00:28:48You can verify them online.

00:28:50Dual master's degrees!

00:28:52Blanna is awesome!

00:28:57My child, you suffered so much at the Barret's house

00:29:00and still achieved all this.

00:29:03You've surpassed both your brothers.

00:29:08No way.

00:29:11How could someone who never even finished elementary school achieve something like this?

00:29:16Even if these certificates are genuine, it doesn't mean you can run Harper Group.

00:29:21Harper Group is holding an automotive design competition next month.

00:29:24If you win first place, I'll acknowledge your capability.

00:29:27And if I win first place, what do I get?

00:29:311% of Harper Group's shares.

00:29:34I'll raise it.

00:29:35If Blanna wins, I'll also give her 1% of the shares.

00:29:38I want to compete too!

00:29:43If I win, those shares go to me.

00:29:47Rosie, you studied finance and management, not design.

00:29:51Why are you competing?

00:29:53I don't care!

00:29:54Why does she get so many shares just because she's back?

00:29:57I've been in the Harper family for 20 years and only got a measly half percent!

00:30:03Fine.

00:30:04If I lose, all the shares in my name go to you.

00:30:07I look at Ernst.

00:30:09He thinks I'm just putting on a brave front.

00:30:12But he doesn't know those years in Norville, the money I earned from design drafts, was more

00:30:18than Harper Group's annual profits.

00:30:21Brenna, there's an equestrian competition next Wednesday.

00:30:25A high-end social event.

00:30:28Do you want to go?

00:30:29Fine.

00:30:30I'll be there on time.

00:30:31Just wait.

00:30:33I'll humiliate you in front of all of Shiri's elite.

00:30:37Equestrian competition.

00:30:39Shira's largest race course.

00:30:41Million dollar membership threshold.

00:30:45A playground for the rich.

00:30:49Brenna?

00:30:51You actually came here.

00:30:53The Barretts are ruined, but you've latched onto a new man.

00:30:57Did Mr. Mitchell give you money for dresses?

00:30:59Isabella Barrett, the Barretts' real daughter.

00:31:02Jordie Barton, my snobbish ex-fiancee.

00:31:06Do you dare compete?

00:31:08Oh, can you even ride?

00:31:10I've already signed up for the competition.

00:31:12I just didn't tell them.

00:31:21Brenna, this is Ethan's racehorse, Onyx.

00:31:24He's letting me ride him.

00:31:26Mr. Mitchell still cares about Rosie.

00:31:28Some woman is just a passing fancy.

00:31:32Sylvia and Vivian, Rosie's two friends who harassed me at the restaurant,

00:31:36look at me with disgust.

00:31:39Have you picked a horse?

00:31:41If you can't ride, falling off is no small thing.

00:31:45Ethan told me Onyx was meant for me.

00:31:47Rosie claims he let her ride him.

00:31:50She thinks snatching my horse guarantees her victory.

00:31:53Well, I will show her what I've got.

00:31:56I wonder which fool bet on you to win.

00:31:58It was me.

00:31:59I bet 10,000 stakes.

00:32:0120,000 each.

00:32:02200 million total.

00:32:03If I win, it multiplies ton four-deur.

00:32:06Betting on Alex!

00:32:0720,000 each!

00:32:08100 stakes!

00:32:09Isabella swipes her card gleefully.

00:32:12None of them know on this track there's a legend called Knight who's never lost.

00:32:17And I'm Knight.

00:32:19I choose a bay filly that has never competed.

00:32:27Miss, this horse has never been on a racetrack.

00:32:30Are you sure?

00:32:31This is the one.

00:32:38Jordi, I'm scared.

00:32:39These are Shiree's riders.

00:32:41A bunch of worthless trash.

00:32:43Knight!

00:32:44Come out!

00:32:45Don't be a coward!

00:32:46Alex Espinosa.

00:32:48Alex Espinosa.

00:32:48An Orwell rider undefeated for two years.

00:32:51The starting gun fires.

00:32:53Nine horses bolt forward.

00:32:56Only one stays completely still.

00:32:58Go!

00:32:59You stupid horse!

00:33:01If you can't ride, get off!

00:33:04Isabella's horse finally moves by throwing her off its back.

00:33:07She collapses on the ground, face drenched in tears.

00:33:17My focus is not on her at all.

00:33:20The white figure ahead.

00:33:21Alex.

00:33:22The person you've been searching for so long is right behind you.

00:33:34Sylvie and Vivian flank me from both sides.

00:33:37Jordi blocks me directly in front.

00:33:39They want Rosie to take first place, so I'm not allowed to overtake.

00:33:44Don't even think about passing!

00:33:49Brenna, a woman like you should stay in last place forever.

00:33:53Jordi swings his riding cop at my horse's eyes.

00:33:56I lean down and release the reins.

00:34:03Sweetheart, show them what you can do.

00:34:05The bay filly kicks hard and forces her way through a half-meter gap between Sylvie and Jordi.

00:34:11Both horses lose their footing.

00:34:13Both riders tumble to the ground.

00:34:23That girl is incredible!

00:34:26That girl is incredible!

00:34:45I cross the finish line.

00:34:47The scoreboard lights up.

00:34:50My time is identical to Alex's.

00:34:53I take off my helmet, my hair cascading down.

00:34:57Rosie stands in the stands, her fists gripping the railing.

00:35:01She set a personal best, but only first place advances.

00:35:07She stares at my face on the big screen.

00:35:11She can't understand why I'm good at everything.

00:35:14I lead my bay filly back to the stables.

00:35:18Ethan stands there, immaculate in his suit.

00:35:24You're Knight.

00:35:29How did you find out?

00:35:31Alex has been searching for Knight for two years.

00:35:35Knight disappeared two years ago.

00:35:39And you, you were abroad for exactly two years.

00:35:43Rosie charges her horse toward me, hooves aimed at my back.

00:35:47Ethan wraps his arm around my waist and lifts me entirely off the ground.

00:35:52Oh my!

00:35:53Brenna, are you okay?

00:35:55I thought I could stop.

00:35:57Ethan, I didn't do it on purpose.

00:35:59You did it on purpose.

00:36:02Your hand struck your horse with the crop at the last moment.

00:36:10If you dare harm her again, I'll make you pay.

00:36:16Sylvia, I saved your life, and this is how you treat me?

00:36:20Who asked you to save me?

00:36:23Disgusting!

00:36:25Don't touch me.

00:36:26I walk past them.

00:36:27They are both in miserable shape.

00:36:29Brenna, this is all your fault!

00:36:31You blocked me yourselves, fell off your own horses, and now you blame me?

00:36:37With that, I turn to leave.

00:36:40People like them aren't worth my attention.

00:36:44Alex finds out that I am Knight.

00:36:47Knight.

00:36:49This round, I'll defeat you.

00:36:54Then let's wait and see.

00:36:55His gloved right hand gently strokes his ring.

00:36:59In Norview's underground races, some riders use concealed needles in their rings to cheat.

00:37:13Fourth lap.

00:37:15I'm only eight meters behind.

00:37:17He glances back.

00:37:18For the first time, panic flashes in his eyes.

00:37:23I lift my crop.

00:37:29Within half a lap, I catch up to him.

00:37:31I turn my head and flip him off.

00:37:34Goodbye, champion.

00:37:47I cross the finish line.

00:37:49A scream rings out behind me.

00:37:52Alex's white horse rears up on its phalanta legs, brutally stomping down on its fallen rider.

00:37:58His right leg is twisted at an impossible angle.

00:38:01Blood seeps from the needle wound on the horse's back, staining the white coat red.

00:38:05Alex Espinoza is disqualified for using cruel methods to abuse his horse.

00:38:11He is permanently banned.

00:38:14The arena erupts.

00:38:15I take off my helmet.

00:38:17The Bay Philly winters and nuzzles my face.

00:38:21I walk into the living room, holding my equestrian champion trophy.

00:38:26Rosie sits on the sofa, a document before her.

00:38:31I remember we had a bet.

00:38:36You haven't congratulated me yet.

00:38:38That was just the beginning.

00:38:40The real event is the design competition.

00:38:43Rosie pushes the document towards me.

00:38:51This is a betting agreement.

00:38:53If you don't win first place, you give up everything.

00:38:56These conditions are aimed at me.

00:38:59What about you?

00:39:00Because you need to prove you're a Harper first.

00:39:02The DNA report isn't out.

00:39:04You look like your mom.

00:39:05But maybe you had plastic surgery.

00:39:13I think Rosie has a point.

00:39:16You should cooperate.

00:39:18Giselle walks down the stairs.

00:39:23And takes the document.

00:39:25This agreement is completely unfair.

00:39:27I don't approve.

00:39:31Giselle tears the agreement to shreds.

00:39:35She suffered 20 years at the Barrett's house.

00:39:38Now that she's home, you still bully her?

00:39:43I'll draft it.

00:39:46This agreement must be fair.

00:39:47I watch them stand up for me.

00:39:49For the first time, someone has my back.

00:39:52If Brenna wins, she receives 4% of the shares and Erste resigns.

00:39:57If Rosie loses, all shares in her name transfer to Brenna.

00:40:01Why should I transfer my shares to her?

00:40:04Why should Brenna risk losing everything if she doesn't win while you walk away unscathed?

00:40:11This needs to be fair.

00:40:14Rosie bites her lip, her hand trembling.

00:40:16She glares at Shepard, the man who raised her for 20 years, now forcing her to sign such an agreement

00:40:21for his own daughter.

00:40:23Fine.

00:40:24I'll sign.

00:40:28Even if you win, Ethan won't be yours.

00:40:32The marriage arrangement is because our uncle saved Ethan's father.

00:40:37It should be Audrey who marries Ethan.

00:40:41I look into Rosie's eyes.

00:40:43I finally understand why she's hated me from the start.

00:40:47Not because of the assets, because of Ethan.

00:40:50Who Ethan likes is his business.

00:40:53And my business is none of your concern.

00:40:57This is my friend Dr. Hackadet Martinez, an attending physician at Doorhill Medical Plastic Surgery Hospital.

00:41:04He's here to examine Brenna with an outsider.

00:41:12Why should I cooperate with an outsider?

00:41:15No need to check.

00:41:19Dalton Harper, my second brother, a well-known celebrity.

00:41:23He walks down the stairs in casual clothes, phone in hand.

00:41:29I've invited Colt Guzman, one of the finest plastic surgeons in the country.

00:41:35Rosie, while I was away, this is how you treated my sister?

00:41:38I didn't.

00:41:39I was just...

00:41:41Enough.

00:41:42Dr. Guzman will be here soon.

00:41:45Whether Brenneth has had plastic surgery will be determined by him.

00:41:50Dalton walks over and gently puts his arm around my shoulders.

00:41:54The warmth of his palms seeps through the fabric, and I feel moved.

00:41:59Brenna, these are for you.

00:42:00Dalton hauls over a dozen shopping bags from his car.

00:42:03Luxury skincare, designer bags, plush toys, gourmet snacks.

00:42:08He piles them before me, calling it an apology.

00:42:11Dalton!

00:42:12Where's my gift?

00:42:14Yours are in the car.

00:42:17Plush toys and flowers from fans.

00:42:19Why does Brenna get things you bought?

00:42:23She's my sister.

00:42:25You're my cousin.

00:42:27There's a difference.

00:42:29Don't you understand?

00:42:33After examination, I confirm Miss Brenna Harper has never undergone any plastic surgery.

00:42:42As for Miss Rosie Harper, nasal implant, eyelid surgery, and lip line adjustments, the traces

00:42:50are still obvious.

00:42:52Everyone turns to stare at Rosie's face.

00:42:54She covers her face and rolls up the stairs.

00:42:58DNA test!

00:42:59We have to do another one!

00:43:03The previous three were all your own samples.

00:43:07This time I'll collect the samples myself.

00:43:11Fine.

00:43:12If you insist, Rosie can fuss however she wants.

00:43:17That evening, Uncle Abelson calls me aside.

00:43:21Boxes are stacked beside him.

00:43:23Brenna, your aunt and I are moving out.

00:43:26Uncle Abelson, is it because I came home?

00:43:30Silly child, how could it be because of you?

00:43:33My kids are grown, and it's time we had our own space.

00:43:38He gently rolls up his trouser leg.

00:43:41I see a metal prosthetic reflecting cold light.

00:43:43So he saved Ethan's father on the battlefield and lost a leg.

00:43:47For this family, he gave a limb.

00:43:49To make space for his niece, he moves out.

00:43:51Yet Rosie, for the sake of clothes and a man, stops at nothing.

00:43:55Through the crack in the walk-in closet door, I watch Rosie open my laptop once more.

00:44:00Password?

00:44:01The date she came home.

00:44:03Got it.

00:44:09The desktop is clean, only one folder.

00:44:12Competition design drafts.

00:44:14She inserts a USB drive and copies everything.

00:44:21Kennedy.

00:44:22Take a look at these designs.

00:44:23What ranking could they achieve?

00:44:25These designs are definitely top line.

00:44:27They would likely be ranked in the top three.

00:44:33Even our most senior engineers couldn't create this alone.

00:44:38It would take a team.

00:44:41Rosie sits alone in the cafe, staring at those exquisite design drawings on the screen.

00:44:45She doesn't know, these aren't my competition entries.

00:44:49I deliberately left these drawings on my laptop, waiting for her to take the bait.

00:44:54This is the second time I've caught Rosie copying my files.

00:44:59I step out of the closet quietly and stand behind her.

00:45:03What are you doing on my laptop?

00:45:07I didn't take anything!

00:45:09I was just checking if you were here!

00:45:11I grab her wrist and pry the USB drive from her hand.

00:45:15She struggles desperately, but my grip is iron.

00:45:18What's going on here?

00:45:22Dalton!

00:45:23Brenna twisted my wrist and broke it!

00:45:26Look!

00:45:26It's swollen!

00:45:28Dalton takes Rosie's wrist and examines it.

00:45:31No redness.

00:45:32No swelling.

00:45:33Bones completely intact.

00:45:34There's nothing there.

00:45:35Are you putting on another act?

00:45:37What's going on?

00:45:43Erst!

00:45:44Brenna is trying to harm me!

00:45:46Brenna, you're cruel.

00:45:49She steals my designs.

00:45:51I catch her red-handed.

00:45:55This man is look at me like I'm a stranger.

00:45:58Though I'm his sister.

00:46:00I'm not his sister.

00:46:02I never was.

00:46:04I never was.

00:46:08Eight in the morning.

00:46:09The entire Harper family arrives at the Forensic Center.

00:46:13Rosie is more excited than anyone.

00:46:17Brenna, are you nervous?

00:46:19The results come out soon.

00:46:21If you're not my uncle's daughter, you have to return everything you've taken from the Harpers.

00:46:29Regardless of the results, my engagement to Brenna will not change.

00:46:34Ethan walks over, his fingers lightly brushing the back of my hand.

00:46:47The results are in.

00:46:53There's no biological father-daughter relationship between Brenna and Shepard, right?

00:47:05The first report, the sample submitted by Rosie Harper, shows no biological father-daughter relationship.

00:47:12Did you hear that? No blood relation. I told you she's a fraud.

00:47:17The staff member still has three more reports. Aren't you going to hear them out?

00:47:21The second commissioned by Luther Harper. The third commissioned by Ernst Harper.

00:47:26The fourth commissioned by Shepard Harper.

00:47:29These three all confirm a biological father-daughter relationship between Brenna Harper and Shepard Harper.

00:47:38Impossible! This is impossible!

00:47:42Rosie, my sample. I personally pulled the hair from Brenna's head and sent it myself.

00:47:47Why are you so certain she isn't a Harper?

00:47:51Of the four tests, three affirm Brenna's lineage while only one contradict it.

00:47:56The only set that denies happens to be the one you submitted.

00:48:00Rosie, did you tamper with the samples?

00:48:04Rosie opens her mouth.

00:48:06Not a single word comes out.

00:48:11You were the one who took that sample directly from my hair.

00:48:15Why does it indicate I'm not a Harper?

00:48:19Did you tamper with the test?

00:48:26Miss Rosie Harper, what was your purpose in tampering with the samples?

00:48:30Were you trying to prevent Brenna from being recognized?

00:48:33I didn't. Brenna is my cousin. Why would I do that?

00:48:38I will host a grand welcome banquet for Brenna.

00:48:42Inviting all of Shiri's elite.

00:48:47I watch Rosie flash her sweetest smile at the cameras.

00:48:50Her performance is really convincing.

00:48:58Kneel.

00:49:01Luther's cane strikes the floor tiles with a muffled thud.

00:49:05Rosie kneels.

00:49:07Grandpa, I was wrong.

00:49:10I was jealous of Brenna.

00:49:12I was afraid she'd take all your love.

00:49:18Brenna, please forgive me.

00:49:21I don't hate you.

00:49:24But I won't forgive you.

00:49:27I won't forgive you.

00:49:31Rosie lifts her head.

00:49:33A flash of venom crossing her eyes.

00:49:36Alec clutched that golden-brossed invitation, his hand trembling.

00:49:41An invitation from the Harper family.

00:49:44They're holding a welcome banquet and specifically want us there.

00:49:48The day Brenna left, her biological parents sent a car.

00:49:53Could it really be the Harpers?

00:49:55Isabella jumped up from the sofa.

00:49:57Impossible!

00:49:59Aren't her real parents from some poor backwater?

00:50:01I looked into it.

00:50:03The Harpers lost a daughter 20 years ago.

00:50:06We adopted Brenna exactly 20 years ago.

00:50:10Then she's someone we can't afford to offend.

00:50:13We treated her like a servant, framed her for theft, and threw her out.

00:50:17She hates us.

00:50:20A cold, glint flash in Alec's eyes.

00:50:23We raised her for 20 years.

00:50:25She can't forget that debt, and neither can the Harpers.

00:50:33Dad, you really think she'll help us?

00:50:36She doesn't have a choice.

00:50:38If we lash onto the Harpers, we can turn our fortunes around.

00:50:44But what if she rejects us in front of everyone?

00:50:47We'll be a laughing stock.

00:50:49A menacing smile curled on Alec's lips.

00:50:52Then we'll beg her in front of all of Shuri's high society.

00:50:57If she dares refuse, she will be labeled ungrateful.

00:51:04A smart move, Dad.

00:51:07You're brilliant.

00:51:14Brenna?

00:51:15What are you doing here?

00:51:17Leave.

00:51:18The Harpers are Shuri's top elite.

00:51:20You're not one of them.

00:51:22Don't embarrass yourself.

00:51:24We raised you for 20 years.

00:51:26Don't drag us down with you.

00:51:30Get out.

00:51:32Mac grabs my arm.

00:51:34Isabella shoves my back.

00:51:36Ruby clears the path.

00:51:41I take a deep breath, and with all my strength I shout.

00:51:46Mom!

00:51:55Mac releases my arm.

00:51:57Brenna, what's wrong?

00:51:59Who did this?

00:52:04Mr. Mitchell?

00:52:05Mrs. Harper?

00:52:07You know Brenna?

00:52:11Brenna is my daughter.

00:52:13What were you doing just now?

00:52:17She...

00:52:18She's your daughter?

00:52:20The Barretts are stunned.

00:52:23Isabella steps back.

00:52:25Ruby's mouth opens and closes like someone is choking her.

00:52:33Ethan looks at the Barretts.

00:52:35They keep apologizing, saying it was a misunderstanding.

00:52:38But the red marks on my arm haven't faded.

00:52:41Mr. Barrett, you stopped her from school, forced her to draw design drafts for money, and made her a servant.

00:52:49Now that she's home, you lay hands on her again?

00:52:55Mr. Mitchell, this is all a misunderstanding.

00:52:59Neville, escort the Barrett family out.

00:53:02Neville walks over with security.

00:53:04The Barretts are carried out.

00:53:13Brenna, I had these three dresses sent from Paris.

00:53:17Wear this one tonight.

00:53:20I change into the red gown.

00:53:25When the skirt spreads out, I catch a flash of admiration in his eyes.

00:53:35But the other two dresses on the rack.

00:53:38One drenched in red wine.

00:53:40Get out.

00:53:41The other with a zipper that just happened to break.

00:53:47Rosie stands at the door, a wine glass in her hand.

00:53:53I say nothing.

00:53:54She thinks ruining the backups will make me lose face.

00:54:00She's really stupid.

00:54:02I walk onto the stage in that red gown.

00:54:05The moment the lights hit me, the hall falls silent.

00:54:09Honored guests, this is my daughter, Brenna Harper.

00:54:15The guests burst into thunderous applause.

00:54:18Then I see Isabella heading toward the stage.

00:54:21Her eyes fixed on me, her expression off.

00:54:24Audrey quietly sticks out my foot.

00:54:27Oh my god, her padded bra fell out!

00:54:30Everyone's eyes are on her.

00:54:31Wasn't she an ACAP before?

00:54:33Brenna.

00:54:35Ethan pulls out a ring box from his pocket.

00:54:37The world's richest man's man is proposing to me in front of all of Shiri.

00:54:41Marry me.

00:54:42The tips of his ears are red, but his eyes hold mine.

00:54:45I don't know why he chose me, but I don't want to refuse.

00:54:48Yes.

00:54:50Applause drowns the hall.

00:54:53Rosie stands in the corner.

00:54:55Her nails digging into her palms.

00:54:58Denise Wagner, heir to the Wagner family.

00:55:01Do you know why you fell?

00:55:02It was Audrey.

00:55:04She tripped you.

00:55:05I saw everything.

00:55:06Come with me.

00:55:08I'll help you get revenge.

00:55:10His hand lands on Isabella's shoulder.

00:55:12She doesn't push it away.

00:55:15Yes.

00:55:16Mr. Wagner, I'll come with you.

00:55:20Brenna, we've come to apologize.

00:55:22Tomorrow afternoon, we'll treat you to drinks at the Imperial Bar.

00:55:25Sylvie and Vivian wear sincere smiles, but their eyes tell a different story.

00:55:30Fine.

00:55:30I'll be there on time.

00:55:33What awaits me at the bar tomorrow won't be just drinks, but I still agreed, because

00:55:38I want to see what they've got up their sleeve.

00:55:40The next afternoon at 4, I arrive at Imperial Bar.

00:55:44Seven young people are in the private room.

00:55:46Bottles and small packets litter the table.

00:55:48White powder, yellow pills, blue pills.

00:55:50So, you're Brenna?

00:55:53Not bad looking.

00:55:54Nice figure, too.

00:55:56I wonder what she's like in bed.

00:55:57Harden Moreno, the black sheep of the Moreno family.

00:56:00Brandon Vargas, the deputy mayor's son.

00:56:03They look at me like I'm prey.

00:56:05Harlan drops a blue pill into my glass.

00:56:07It fuzzes and dissolves rapidly.

00:56:10Brenna, have a drink.

00:56:12Drink this.

00:56:13And the past is wiped clean.

00:56:15I worked in bars in Norview.

00:56:18I know what that is, addictive.

00:56:20And an overdose causes unconsciousness.

00:56:23Drink up.

00:56:24You'll enjoy it.

00:56:25Two men block the door.

00:56:27Brandon is behind me.

00:56:29Sylvia and Vivian stand beside me, smirking.

00:56:31They never came here to apologize.

00:56:33From the very beginning, this was a trap.

00:56:36I'm not drinking that.

00:56:37Brenna, we kindly came to make amends.

00:56:40And you won't even have one drink?

00:56:42You look down on us, don't you?

00:56:44I clench my fists.

00:56:46My heart is racing.

00:56:48But not from fear.

00:56:52It's because it's been a long time since I've been in a fight.

00:56:57Harlan walks up to me with the glass, the blue pill completely dissolved in the wine.

00:57:02Drink it, or I'll pour it down your throat myself.

00:57:04I grab Harlan's jaw and pour the entire glass into his mouth.

00:57:07He chokes and doubles over, his face instantly turning purple.

00:57:10You!

00:57:13Grab her!

00:57:14Brandon lunges from behind.

00:57:16I sidestep and ram my elbow into the bridge of his nose.

00:57:19Blood spurts out.

00:57:20The remaining five rush me at once.

00:57:23I kick over the coffee table, bottles shattering everywhere.

00:57:30Three minutes later, all seven men are on the floor.

00:57:39I stand amid the wreckage.

00:57:43Anyone else want to challenge me?

00:57:45I turn to leave.

00:57:47Suddenly, a group of men in black appears at the door.

00:57:50The leader wears glasses and a small mustache.

00:57:53Jonas Fowler, manager of this bar.

00:57:57Mr. Fowler!

00:57:58This woman caused a disturbance in the bar.

00:58:01She crippled Harlan and Brandon!

00:58:05Mr. Fowler, please handle this.

00:58:09No need!

00:58:12His suit is immaculate, and his eyes coldly sweep over the people on the floor.

00:58:19How dare you harm my woman in my bar?

00:58:23This bar is yours?

00:58:25Yeah.

00:58:26Brenna, you decide how to deal with them.

00:58:29Mr. Mitchell!

00:58:30I was wrong!

00:58:31I didn't know she was your woman!

00:58:34There's a lot you don't know.

00:58:39Harlan.

00:58:40Thiago?

00:58:41What are you doing here?

00:58:43I've waited seven years for this day.

00:58:48Back then, when you and your mother forced my mom out, what did you say?

00:59:00That she was useless.

00:59:02That she deserved.

00:59:05Stop!

00:59:06Stop!

00:59:07Stop!

00:59:07Stop hitting me!

00:59:08Thiago.

00:59:09Yeah?

00:59:10Just hitting him is boring.

00:59:12Let's make a bet.

00:59:14Harlan, there are card tables on the ninth floor.

00:59:17You bet against me.

00:59:20Lose one round, cut off one finger, pay ten million.

00:59:25Are you insane?

00:59:27Scared?

00:59:30A woman dares to go to the card table against me?

00:59:33I've trained five years in poker, three years in dice.

00:59:37No one can beat me.

00:59:38Brenna, you're going to regret this!

00:59:41Do you even know how to shuffle?

00:59:43Harlan spreads the cards across the table in a perfect flan, flicks his wrist, and the entire deck flips in

00:59:48midair.

00:59:49A ripple of admiration goes through the room.

00:59:52That's skill.

00:59:54Both players, please reveal your cards.

00:59:57I flip over my first card, Ace of Spades.

01:00:01Harlan's smile freezes for a moment.

01:00:04I flip over the second, Ace of Diamonds.

01:00:07His hand starts trembling.

01:00:09I flip over the third, Ace of Hearts.

01:00:13Impossible!

01:00:14You cheated!

01:00:14Harlan, you shuffled this deck yourself.

01:00:18Switch to dice!

01:00:20Lowest score wins!

01:00:22Fine.

01:00:24But the loser cuts off three fingers.

01:00:27With this many witnesses, no one can back out.

01:00:29I pick up the dice cup, give it three light shakes, and set it down.

01:00:35Harlan is still shaking his, his hand nearly a blur.

01:00:41I lift the cup.

01:00:42The six dice are stacked in a perfect column.

01:00:45The one on top is a one.

01:00:50Six ones?

01:00:51How did you do that?

01:00:53Your turn.

01:00:54Jonas walks over and lifts dice one by one.

01:00:57The first dice, one.

01:00:59The second, one.

01:01:00The third, still one.

01:01:02The fourth, one.

01:01:03The fifth, still one.

01:01:05The sixth dice, three.

01:01:07No.

01:01:09Impossible.

01:01:10This can't be.

01:01:12All color has rained from his face.

01:01:15His lips are trembling.

01:01:17And his pants are already wet.

01:01:24Tiago, it's your turn.

01:01:28Tiago picks up the knife.

01:01:31Harlan's right hand is pinned to the table.

01:01:34Five fingers spread apart.

01:01:37He's crying.

01:01:39Tiago, don't.

01:01:41Please, I'll give you all my shares.

01:01:44Anything you want.

01:01:52Before you forcibly injected my mother with blue ice.

01:01:56My mother and I begged you.

01:02:01Did you show mercy then?

01:02:05I turn around.

01:02:08A scream rings out behind me.

01:02:12Over a dozen black sedans block the road.

01:02:15Brandon Vargas, his nose still wrapped in bandages, holds an iron rod.

01:02:20Dozens of men in black stand behind him.

01:02:24Mr. Mitchell, let's go one-on-one.

01:02:31Who do you think you are?

01:02:33How dare you challenge our boss?

01:02:38Jonas punches Brandon in the nose.

01:02:41Blood sprays out again.

01:02:45Then he pulls out his phone.

01:02:50Brandon, take a look at this.

01:02:53It's a photo of Brandon's father in bed with a young woman.

01:03:00The next.

01:03:01A photo of Brandon pinning a girl's shoulder down and burning her with a cigarette butt.

01:03:06Where did you?

01:03:09These materials have already been sent to the prosecutor's office.

01:03:14The Vargas family is finished.

01:03:24Rosie opened her walk-in closet door and she froze.

01:03:28Over 50 pieces of clothing, all slashed to shreds.

01:03:32Her favorite M&G cocktail dress, cut straight from the collar to the hem.

01:03:37Who did this?

01:03:39The former housekeeper who was fired is still by her side.

01:03:43It wasn't me.

01:03:45They were fine when I cleaned.

01:03:47Rosie goes over the surveillance footage three times.

01:03:51In the recording, only Rachel entered her room in the afternoon.

01:03:57No one else.

01:04:00Rosie knows it was me.

01:04:04I know she won't find any evidence.

01:04:07Because I already tampered with the footage.

01:04:11Rosie returns to her room and stares at the shredded fabric.

01:04:15These clothes total several million.

01:04:18But she doesn't care about the money.

01:04:20What enrages her is that I can silently destroy everything she owns.

01:04:25Brenna, this isn't over between us.

01:04:29I know she won't let me go.

01:04:33But she's no match for me.

01:04:36I sit in my room, watching my computer screen.

01:04:39The Murano family's stocks are plummeting.

01:04:42I'm short-sailing.

01:04:44You don't seem surprised at all.

01:04:48I looked into you.

01:04:50Dual masters from Norview University.

01:04:53Graduated at 18.

01:04:54Your two studios pull in billions every year.

01:04:58Miss Brenna Harper, I've placed the fruit and juice here.

01:05:01Miss Rosie Harper is still checking the surveillance footage.

01:05:04Don't worry.

01:05:05I've already taken care of the footage.

01:05:07She won't find anything.

01:05:10You were the one who ruined Rosie's clothes?

01:05:13She ruined three of my gowns before, nearly making me lose face at the banquet.

01:05:17And ruined one of my M&G dresses.

01:05:19I just settled things with her.

01:05:22Well done.

01:05:25Rosie and Ernest, they teamed up to make you sign that betting agreement?

01:05:28Yes.

01:05:29If I lose the design competition, I have to give up everything from the Harper family.

01:05:34Rosie even added another condition, that I could never work at Harper Group again.

01:05:41How dare they treat you like this?

01:05:43They think they can force me to back down, but they don't know.

01:05:46I never back down.

01:05:53Regardless of the outcome of that bet, I'm marrying you.

01:05:59Not because of the arrangement.

01:06:02Because I want to.

01:06:08Damn it.

01:06:09I can only swallow this loss in silence.

01:06:12Without evidence?

01:06:14If I bring it to Grandpa, I'll just get another beating.

01:06:21Rosie, you have to help me.

01:06:23My dad's been arrested.

01:06:25The Moreno family's scandals are all over the country.

01:06:29How am I supposed to help you?

01:06:31Aren't you close with the tax bureau chief and the people at the prosecutor's office?

01:06:36Harlan, don't kid yourself.

01:06:38Ethan is targeting at you.

01:06:40You think I can go against the world's richest man?

01:06:43But you said you'd help me deal with Brenna!

01:06:48I never said that.

01:06:55Rosie Harper, you dare play me?

01:07:02I won't let you get away with this.

01:07:05And I won't let Brenna off either.

01:07:08You will pay the price.

01:07:12Brenna, where is Ellie?

01:07:14Just tell me.

01:07:16I told you.

01:07:17I don't know.

01:07:18You stood up for her and scolded me?

01:07:20That proves you've been in contact.

01:07:22Jayceon Russell, the Russell family's playboy.

01:07:25Ellie's ex-boyfriend, Patrick's biological father.

01:07:30Jayceon, did you know that when Ellie left, she was pregnant with your child?

01:07:35I know.

01:07:36Did you know she gave birth alone in Norview, unable to even afford the hospital bill?

01:07:41Did you know she went back to work?

01:07:44Before her postpartum recovery was even done?

01:07:46You didn't know.

01:07:49You were on vacation with your new girlfriend at the time.

01:07:55I walk into the abandoned factory's operations room, wearing a mask.

01:08:01Dozens of masked technicians sit at computers, data streams flashing rapidly on the screens.

01:08:08King, Black Dragon and physicians are built.

01:08:11The other side is still pressing hard.

01:08:12Code G1569, buy 38 billion.

01:08:17K5879, buy 19.2 billion.

01:08:20My fingers fly across the keyboard.

01:08:23The continuously falling curve at the center of the screen begins to slowly climb.

01:08:29It's rebounding.

01:08:31The market value is coming back.

01:08:32Two hours.

01:08:34I forcibly pulled the stock price, which had been plunging off a cliff, back up.

01:08:41King, the client has transferred the remaining payment, 4 billion.

01:08:49Mr. Mitchell, King pulled back all 40 billion we'd lost in just two hours.

01:08:55King.

01:08:56A legend that only exists in the Undercity.

01:09:00A shadow in the financial world.

01:09:06No one knows King's real identity.

01:09:08But today, King saved my Black Dragon.

01:09:13I owe this person one.

01:09:18Who the hell are you?

01:09:20Brenna, the Mitchell family formally proposed marriage today.

01:09:23Ethan's father called your dad.

01:09:26They want you and Ethan to marry as soon as possible.

01:09:29What do you think?

01:09:32I don't want to get married.

01:09:34Is it because you don't like Ethan?

01:09:37No.

01:09:39It's that I don't want to get married right now.

01:09:44I just came home and family matters aren't settled yet.

01:09:48Okay.

01:09:49Mom supports your decision.

01:09:51I'll have your dad decline the Mitchells.

01:09:55Do you know how many women in Shiri dream of marrying Ethan?

01:09:59And you actually refuse?

01:10:01Now that you've turned him down, he'll come back to me.

01:10:05When you accepted Ethan's proposal, I thought you actually liked him.

01:10:10Turns out you were just after his money and status.

01:10:12Rosie sits in a corner booth wearing a sun hat.

01:10:16Secretly taking photos of Tiago and me having lunch.

01:10:20She angles the camera perfectly.

01:10:22It looks like we're kissing.

01:10:24She sends the photos to Ethan, saying we're on a date that we've gone through an entire bottle of wine,

01:10:30implying we're going to a hotel.

01:10:34Ethan appears at the restaurant entrance.

01:10:36His tie is crooked.

01:10:38Fine sweat on his forehead.

01:10:40He rushed straight here.

01:10:41But he hasn't come to interrogate me.

01:10:44The moment he sees me, he exhale with relief.

01:10:53Who is he?

01:10:54Why are you with him?

01:10:56Mr. Mitchell, Bren and I have a purely professional relationship.

01:11:00Karen suddenly bursts into the restaurant and lunges with Tiago.

01:11:03But Ethan strikes first.

01:11:05His fist smashes into Harlan's face, sending him flying.

01:11:09A tooth flies out and bounces off the floor tiles.

01:11:15Brenna!

01:11:16You destroyed the Moreno family!

01:11:20Ethan!

01:11:21What Harlan said is true!

01:11:23Brenna is using you to destroy the Moreno family!

01:11:26Ethan doesn't look at her.

01:11:28He only looks at me.

01:11:30Brenna, I'll only listen to you.

01:11:34Ethan pulls me out of the restaurant and pushes me into the passenger seat.

01:11:40The moment the door locks, I see the emotion in his eyes.

01:11:43Not anger, but fear.

01:11:47We're going to register our marriage right now.

01:11:51Once it's done, you're legally my wife.

01:11:53No one will dare touch you again.

01:11:58Ethan, stop the car.

01:11:59No.

01:12:00It's not that I don't want to marry you.

01:12:02I don't think the timing is right.

01:12:05You promised me you wouldn't force me.

01:12:09Ethan grips the steering wheel.

01:12:13He eases off the accelerator and the car pulls to the side of the road.

01:12:18Brenna, I won't let anyone hurt you.

01:12:22But you have to promise me, too.

01:12:24No matter what happens, don't take off that ring.

01:12:29All right.

01:12:34Rosie, I'm finished.

01:12:36The Moreno family has completely collapsed.

01:12:40The prosecutor's office is after me.

01:12:44What are you doing here?

01:12:47If anyone sees you with me, I'm finished, too.

01:12:53You have to help me!

01:12:54I know you're connected to the underworld in Shirei.

01:12:58Help me find someone to take out Brenna and Tiago.

01:13:03Why should I help you?

01:13:05You're in love with Ethan.

01:13:09Once Brenna is dead, he'll be yours.

01:13:15How many men can you get?

01:13:18Jay's gang was broken up by the police.

01:13:20But his most ruthless men are still around.

01:13:23Fifty of them.

01:13:24If you pay, they'll even take on the military.

01:13:33I'll provide the money.

01:13:34But I have one condition.

01:13:37I want Brenna to disappear completely.

01:13:40Eleven at night.

01:13:40Tiago and I step out of the elevator.

01:13:44All the lights in the parking garage suddenly go out.

01:13:46Something's wrong.

01:13:47Don't turn on your phone light.

01:13:49Footsteps.

01:13:50At least thirty men.

01:13:51Closing in from all directions.

01:13:54That's the bitch.

01:13:55She snapped my arm last time.

01:13:57Guys, beat her to death.

01:13:59The lights come on.

01:14:00Thirty burly men are holding steel pipes

01:14:02and machetes in front of me.

01:14:04I set down my backpack

01:14:06and flex my wrists.

01:14:08You take the left

01:14:09and I'll take the right.

01:14:12Race you?

01:14:14Better midnight snack.

01:14:25Jay lies on the ground,

01:14:26his right leg bent at an horrible angle.

01:14:29Thirty men,

01:14:31not a single one can still stand.

01:14:33My heel presses on his chest.

01:14:35He can't breathe.

01:14:37Who sent you?

01:14:41Rosie Harper and Harlan Morano.

01:14:45They put up two million for your head.

01:14:49I get home and open my laptop.

01:14:52The garage's surveillance footage recorded everything.

01:14:55I download the video

01:14:57and then edit it frame by frame.

01:14:59In the footage,

01:15:00the garage lights stay on the whole time.

01:15:03No ambush.

01:15:04No fight.

01:15:05Just Thiago and me

01:15:06walking out of the elevator,

01:15:08getting into the car,

01:15:09and leaving.

01:15:11Rosie,

01:15:12you want surveillance footage as evidence?

01:15:14I'll give it to you.

01:15:16It's just that what you get

01:15:17won't be quite what you expected.

01:15:20Hiring people to commit murder,

01:15:22that's a serious charge.

01:15:26But you have no alibi

01:15:28because you don't even know what happened tonight.

01:15:32Are you ready?

01:15:33Brenna, come look.

01:15:34I specially ordered this car for you.

01:15:37Deep blue SUV,

01:15:39smart voice start,

01:15:41bulletproof glass.

01:15:42Do you like it?

01:15:43I love it.

01:15:44Thanks, Mom.

01:15:48Giselle!

01:15:49This car is gorgeous.

01:15:51Can I...

01:15:51Rosie,

01:15:52this is for Brenna.

01:15:53Brenna doesn't even have a driver's license.

01:15:55She can't drive.

01:15:56Let me use it for now.

01:15:59Rosie pulls open the driver's door

01:16:01and sits inside.

01:16:02She adjusts the seat,

01:16:03strokes the steering wheel,

01:16:05a look of complete entitlements on her face.

01:16:07I'm taking it, then.

01:16:09Thanks, Giselle.

01:16:10Thanks, Brenna.

01:16:18Rosie drives my car onto the road,

01:16:20but she doesn't know

01:16:22that the brakes on this car

01:16:23have been tampered with.

01:16:24Not to kill her.

01:16:27Just to teach her a lesson.

01:16:30Red light.

01:16:31She hits the brakes.

01:16:33No response.

01:16:35Again.

01:16:36Still nothing.

01:16:37A large truck is crossing the intersection.

01:16:40She yanks the steering wheel hard.

01:16:43Front of the car avoids the truck

01:16:45as the side slams into the guardrail.

01:16:50Rosie,

01:16:51how are you?

01:16:53Ernst,

01:16:54it was Brenna.

01:16:56This car was ordered for her.

01:16:58She must have tampered with the brakes.

01:17:00How do you know it was her?

01:17:02She hates me!

01:17:09Brenna,

01:17:10did you tamper with Rosie's brakes?

01:17:14What evidence do you have?

01:17:17You studied mechanical engineering.

01:17:19Making a car lose its brakes

01:17:20is easier than eating a meal for you.

01:17:22I look at Ernst.

01:17:23His eyes are full of anger and disappointment.

01:17:26He doesn't care that Rosie hired people to kill me.

01:17:29He only cares that Rosie...

01:17:32He never sees me as his sister.

01:17:35Ernst!

01:17:39I was with Brenna

01:17:40the whole time we looked at that car.

01:17:42She never even touched the steering wheel.

01:17:45But...

01:17:46Do you believe your mother

01:17:47or that cousin of yours

01:17:48who lies through her teeth?

01:17:50I'm sorry.

01:17:52I checked the surveillance footage.

01:17:54Mom was telling the truth.

01:17:55Save your apology.

01:17:57Just now,

01:17:58you looked like you wanted

01:17:58to tear your own sister apart.

01:18:01Mr. Mitchell,

01:18:02Harlan is already on the wanted list.

01:18:04Both the prosecutor's office

01:18:05and the police are after him.

01:18:08Not enough.

01:18:09Last time he hired people

01:18:11to go after Brenna,

01:18:12this time he teamed up with Rosie.

01:18:15Find him

01:18:17and break one of his legs.

01:18:19Understood.

01:18:22Harlan rummages through the basement

01:18:24and finds Tiago's mother's belongings.

01:18:27A diary,

01:18:28a necklace,

01:18:30a bracelet.

01:18:31If you call the cops,

01:18:33I'll burn everything.

01:18:34What do you want?

01:18:36The abandoned sports field

01:18:37next to the old school.

01:18:40Tonight at ten,

01:18:42bring Brenna.

01:18:43Just the two of you.

01:18:48If you call the cops,

01:18:49I'll burn everything.

01:18:51I'll be there.

01:18:53You wait.

01:18:56I know it's a trap,

01:18:57but my mother's belongings,

01:18:59I have to get them back.

01:19:01Harlan and Jay have 50 men

01:19:02lying in ambush around the field.

01:19:04They think I'll be scared.

01:19:06But Tiago and I stand side by side

01:19:09in the middle of the field.

01:19:11The moment the gunshots ring out,

01:19:13we roll into the bushes.

01:19:15The grass here is waist-high.

01:19:17We hide in the shadows.

01:19:20Each time someone approaches,

01:19:22we silently take them out.

01:19:23Half an hour later,

01:19:25Jay only has about 10 men left.

01:19:28Dozens of fully-on police officers

01:19:31and snipers pour in

01:19:32from all directions.

01:19:33Neville stands beside

01:19:35the police carts.

01:19:37Phone in hand,

01:19:38Ethan called them.

01:19:45Sorry I'm late.

01:19:48No, the timing is perfect.

01:19:52I later learned that Ellie

01:19:54was falsely accused

01:19:55of plagiarism in Norview.

01:19:57They claimed she plagiarized

01:19:59her own design.

01:20:01And the client that was

01:20:03originally hers

01:20:03has already signed with them.

01:20:05She'd rather lose the lawsuit

01:20:07than owe Jaycee on anything.

01:20:10Yet if she loses,

01:20:12her brand will belong

01:20:14to the plagiarist.

01:20:17How will she support Patrick?

01:20:20I have to help Ellie.

01:20:26But how?

01:20:30Rosie Harper,

01:20:31you are suspected of hiring people

01:20:34to commit murder.

01:20:35Please cooperate with our investigation.

01:20:38What are you doing?

01:20:39This is the Harper family.

01:20:41Don't touch me!

01:20:45I let them in.

01:20:48Giselle?

01:20:50How could you do this?

01:20:52You hired people to kill my daughter.

01:20:57From today on,

01:20:59you are no longer a Harper.

01:21:06Your things have been packed

01:21:07and are outside the door.

01:21:08When you come out of the police station,

01:21:10go direct to your own home.

01:21:11Don't step through this door again.

01:21:13Mr. Harper,

01:21:14you can't do this!

01:21:15You watched Rosie grow up!

01:21:17You're fired as well.

01:21:21Your wages have been settled.

01:21:23Leave with her.

01:21:27Ernest stands at the entrance

01:21:29of the police station.

01:21:32Rosie's lawyer has completed

01:21:34the bail procedures.

01:21:35She's wheeled out in a wheelchair,

01:21:37her legs in casts.

01:21:40Ernest!

01:21:41You came to get me!

01:21:44I didn't come to take you home.

01:21:48Mom and Dad said you can't come back.

01:21:51Then what are you here for?

01:21:53To gloat?

01:21:55I'm here to tell you,

01:21:57stop going after Brenna.

01:21:59You can't beat her.

01:22:02And you can't beat Ethan either.

01:22:04You got bail this time

01:22:05because the evidence is insufficient.

01:22:07But if happens again,

01:22:09I won't help you anymore.

01:22:13Are you done?

01:22:15Yes.

01:22:18You'll regret this.

01:22:20The Harper family,

01:22:21the Mitchell family,

01:22:23Brenna,

01:22:23every single one of you

01:22:25will regret this.

01:22:28Ernest carries his suitcase

01:22:29out the main house gate.

01:22:31Mom stands on the steps

01:22:33and doesn't stop him.

01:22:34Dad is at the window,

01:22:36not even parting the curtains

01:22:37to look at him.

01:22:41Ernest,

01:22:42I wasn't going to persuade you.

01:22:45I just wanted to tell you,

01:22:47you're always my brother.

01:22:48He turns around

01:22:50and looks at me.

01:22:51The morning light

01:22:52shines from behind him.

01:22:55Brenna,

01:22:55I'm sorry.

01:22:56I owe you an apology.

01:22:59Today is the design competition

01:23:01results announcement day.

01:23:03Isabella walks in arm-in-arm

01:23:05with Dennyus Wagner.

01:23:06Denise is the heir

01:23:07of the Wagner family,

01:23:09lecherous and arrogant.

01:23:14Brenna,

01:23:15how dare you show up?

01:23:17You never even finished

01:23:18elementary school.

01:23:19Who knows which ghost designer

01:23:20you hired to draw those drafts.

01:23:24You picked on my woman

01:23:26and that doesn't sit right with me.

01:23:28I'm giving you a chance

01:23:29to apologize.

01:23:31If you don't,

01:23:32the Harper family's

01:23:33design competition

01:23:34might not go ahead

01:23:35as planned.

01:23:36I don't reply.

01:23:37I smash my fist

01:23:39into Dennis' nose.

01:23:40The moment the blood

01:23:42sprays out,

01:23:43Isabella screams.

01:23:44You!

01:23:48Ethan walks into the lobby

01:23:50just in time

01:23:51and kicks Dennis away.

01:23:54Security,

01:23:55throw this man out.

01:23:58Security drags Dennis out.

01:24:00Isabella hesitates

01:24:01for a moment

01:24:02but follows him out.

01:24:05Brenna!

01:24:07I'm sure you'll take

01:24:08first place today.

01:24:10You've won so many

01:24:12international awards.

01:24:13These competitors,

01:24:14how could any of them

01:24:15compare to you?

01:24:18The winner must have been

01:24:19decided in advance.

01:24:21She's the Harper family's

01:24:22daughter.

01:24:22We're just here

01:24:23to make up the numbers.

01:24:25I look at Rosie's

01:24:26gentle, smiling face.

01:24:28Every word of her praise

01:24:30is meant to draw

01:24:30hatred toward me.

01:24:32Rosie,

01:24:33do you really think

01:24:34I'll be intimidated

01:24:34by others' skepticism?

01:24:44Actually,

01:24:45Miss Brenna Harper

01:24:45didn't grow up

01:24:47in the Harper family.

01:24:48She grew up

01:24:49in the Barrett family.

01:24:50My family knows her best.

01:24:52She never even finished

01:24:53her elementary school.

01:24:54Her dual master's degrees

01:24:56and international awards,

01:24:57all fake.

01:25:01How is that possible?

01:25:03Didn't Harper Group

01:25:04say she graduated

01:25:05from MIT?

01:25:07You've all been fooled.

01:25:11Excuse me,

01:25:12I'm Tommy McCoy,

01:25:13head of Knight Studio.

01:25:14Every certificate of Brenna's

01:25:16was archived by our studio.

01:25:18The scanned copies

01:25:18of these certificates

01:25:19are now displayed

01:25:20on the main screen.

01:25:25You're her people.

01:25:26Of course you'd

01:25:27speak up for her.

01:25:28Miss Barrett,

01:25:28you claim Brenna

01:25:29never even finished

01:25:30elementary school.

01:25:31Then how do you explain

01:25:33that at the age of 10

01:25:34she designed

01:25:35an entire set

01:25:36of auto parts blueprints

01:25:37for the Barrett Group?

01:25:38Those blueprints

01:25:39are still in the

01:25:40Barrett Group's archives.

01:25:45Shall I pull them up

01:25:46for everyone to see?

01:25:48The entire hall

01:25:49falls silent.

01:25:50Those who were

01:25:51whispering moments ago

01:25:52are now staring

01:25:53at the certificates

01:25:54on the big screen.

01:25:56Isabella's face

01:25:57goes red.

01:25:57She's probably forgotten.

01:25:59The very reason

01:26:00the Barretts could

01:26:00expand their business

01:26:01was because of

01:26:02the designs I drew.

01:26:04Now using this

01:26:05to attack me

01:26:05will only make

01:26:06everyone realize

01:26:07the Barretts not only

01:26:09abused their

01:26:09adoptive daughter,

01:26:10they also plagiarized

01:26:12the work of

01:26:12a 10-year-old child.

01:26:15Next is the

01:26:16anonymous voting segment.

01:26:18All shortlisted works,

01:26:20will be displayed

01:26:21only by entry number,

01:26:22not author name.

01:26:24Every designer

01:26:25and judge present

01:26:26has one vote.

01:26:28Voting is closed.

01:26:30The work currently

01:26:31ranked first

01:26:32is entry 132.

01:26:35Rosie almost jumps up.

01:26:40But I see

01:26:41Tommy's step forward.

01:26:42I object.

01:26:43Entry 132

01:26:44is plagiarized.

01:26:45This design

01:26:46is the award-winning

01:26:47work of our studio's

01:26:48lead engineer

01:27:05Tommy opens his laptop

01:27:07and connects it

01:27:08to the main screen.

01:27:09He pulls up

01:27:09the Golden Wrench

01:27:45Congratulations

01:27:46to Brenna Harper!

01:27:52The entire hall

01:27:53erupts

01:27:54in thunderous applause.

01:27:55I walk onto

01:27:56the stage

01:27:56and receive

01:27:57the trophy.

01:27:58Rosie sits

01:27:59in the audience,

01:28:00her face

01:28:00as white as paper.

01:28:01Now announcing

01:28:02the author's names.

01:28:04First place,

01:28:05Brenna Harper.

01:28:06Second place,

01:28:07Knight Studio Team.

01:28:10Harper Group

01:28:12lucrative

01:28:13high-end

01:28:28According to the agreement,

01:28:29Ernst resigns

01:28:30as CEO

01:28:30of Harper Group

01:28:31and his 5% shares

01:28:32are transferred

01:28:33to Brenna.

01:28:33Rosie's half-percent

01:28:34shares in her name

01:28:35are also transferred

01:28:36to Brenna.

01:28:36Ernest places

01:28:37the signed

01:28:38share transfer

01:28:39agreement

01:28:39on the table.

01:28:41Brenna,

01:28:42I'm sorry.

01:28:43These shares

01:28:44are what you deserve.

01:28:45Rosie stares

01:28:46at the agreement

01:28:47and refuses

01:28:47to sign.

01:28:48I won't sign.

01:28:51You have to sign

01:28:52whether you want to

01:28:53or not.

01:28:53This agreement

01:28:54is legally binding.

01:28:56If you don't sign,

01:28:57we'll resolve it

01:28:58in court.

01:28:58Rosie picks up the pen,

01:28:59her hand shaking,

01:29:00but she signs anyway.

01:29:02After Ernst steps down,

01:29:03Dalton will serve

01:29:04as interim CEO.

01:29:05Brenna,

01:29:05you are the youngest

01:29:06but most outstanding

01:29:07child in our family.

01:29:08Grandpa is proud of you.

01:29:09My daughter

01:29:09suffered outside

01:29:10for 20 years.

01:29:12She has finally

01:29:13returned to where

01:29:14she was meant to be.

01:29:16I look down

01:29:16at the transfer agreement.

01:29:18It bears Ernst's signature,

01:29:20Rosie's signature,

01:29:21Grandpa's seal,

01:29:22the notary's

01:29:23embossed stamp.

01:29:24This is their promise

01:29:25and my victory.

01:29:26But this is only

01:29:28the beginning.

01:29:28A greater storm

01:29:29is brewing

01:29:30in the darkness.
