Transcript

00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.

00:00:05Today, my family pushed me into hell.

00:00:07The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.

00:00:09The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.

00:00:15Jolene!

00:00:16Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!

00:00:18If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.

00:00:21Release Jolene first.

00:00:22Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.

00:00:26I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.

00:00:30But he doesn't even glance my way.

00:00:32I choose Jolene too.

00:00:34This is the man I loved for three years.

00:00:37Code-blooded.

00:00:38Roofless.

00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.

00:00:50But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.

00:01:00Poor girl.

00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:01:04No need to hurry.

00:01:05One at a time, boys.

00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.

00:01:10No!

00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.

00:01:15A dozen figures dressed in black storming sun.

00:01:19If you want to live,

00:01:23stop right now.

00:01:24I recognize the man.

00:01:26He is Liam Warren.

00:01:27The most powerful man in Artwell.

00:01:29Who commands a massive empire.

00:01:31Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.

00:01:35Mr. Warren.

00:01:36Please spare us.

00:01:53Who are you?

00:01:55I'm the one sending you to hell.

00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,

00:02:00desperate pleas,

00:02:01and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.

00:02:07How much did Jolene pay you?

00:02:10Five million.

00:02:11She wanted you ruined.

00:02:16Thank you for saving me.

00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.

00:02:24I can cure it.

00:02:26Do you trust me?

00:02:29I trust you.

00:02:30I draw a small blade,

00:02:31make a precise cut on his finger,

00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.

00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,

00:02:36you're gonna have to stick close to me.

00:02:39First,

00:02:41I need to end things with the Browns.

00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.

00:02:46When I return home,

00:02:48I find my biological parents and three brothers

00:02:50gathered around Jolana,

00:02:52showering her with care.

00:02:53I close the distance,

00:02:54grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.

00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?

00:03:00Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene.

00:03:03You better apologize right now.

00:03:06Catherine,

00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?

00:03:10Maybe we never should have taken you in.

00:03:13Me causing trouble?

00:03:15Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?

00:03:19She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.

00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.

00:03:24Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:03:26The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.

00:03:31No!

00:03:32It must be fake!

00:03:34Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?

00:03:37Or maybe call the police?

00:03:38No! No!

00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!

00:03:41I'm sorry!

00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!

00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.

00:03:47Just drop it!

00:03:48It's either her or me.

00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.

00:03:53In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.

00:03:56So why should I hold on to them?

00:03:58Just as I step outside,

00:04:00a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.

00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?

00:04:07Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.

00:04:10I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.

00:04:16The car glides into the Warren estate.

00:04:20The most powerful family in Ardwell.

00:04:26Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.

00:04:33Is everything settled?

00:04:34Yes, I've cut ties.

00:04:35From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.

00:04:38Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:40All right.

00:04:41But I have two conditions.

00:04:43First, I need a complete medical lab.

00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.

00:04:48Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:54But keep this in mind.

00:04:57If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...

00:05:01My medical skills won't disappoint you.

00:05:03Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.

00:05:06Buy whatever you need.

00:05:07Don't hold back.

00:05:08I take the black card.

00:05:10A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.

00:05:12Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.

00:05:15Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.

00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.

00:05:20This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.

00:05:24Ironic, isn't it?

00:05:25A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.

00:05:29I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.

00:05:34Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.

00:05:37Where did you run off to?

00:05:38Come back.

00:05:39Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.

00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?

00:05:43Who picked you up?

00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.

00:05:47Just return home.

00:05:49If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.

00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?

00:05:59Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?

00:06:03I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.

00:06:08I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.

00:06:12Get lost.

00:06:13Then I block them all without hesitation.

00:06:15That feels even better.

00:06:17This is how life should be.

00:06:18Logging out.

00:06:19I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.

00:06:24A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.

00:06:30Welcome back.

00:06:31Quietus.

00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.

00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.

00:06:38My phone rings.

00:06:40It's Gerald Douglas, my loyal admirer.

00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?

00:06:44I can't believe it.

00:06:46I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.

00:06:48Good.

00:06:49Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.

00:06:51The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.

00:06:54It seems Liam is already investigating me.

00:06:57Let them dig.

00:06:58Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.

00:07:05The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.

00:07:15Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.

00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.

00:07:25I'll bring out the new styles for you.

00:07:30Catherine?

00:07:31What brings you here?

00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.

00:07:34Jolene, is this your sister?

00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?

00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.

00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.

00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.

00:07:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?

00:07:55Watch out.

00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.

00:08:01I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.

00:08:04What?

00:08:05I saw those first.

00:08:06Saw them first, but can't afford them?

00:08:09Maybe?

00:08:11Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?

00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.

00:08:16I pay and walk out.

00:08:19I watched Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction

00:08:24courses through me.

00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.

00:08:29The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.

00:08:32I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown.

00:08:37My makeup refined, but understated.

00:08:39Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.

00:08:43I am Liam Warren's date.

00:08:46The most powerful man in Ardwell.

00:08:48All eyes are drawn to us.

00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?

00:08:54He actually showed up.

00:08:56Who's that woman with him?

00:08:58I've never seen her before.

00:09:00She's stunning.

00:09:02Is she from some notable family?

00:09:04I ignore the whispers.

00:09:06My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.

00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm, playing the part of a cherished

00:09:14woman.

00:09:15But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.

00:09:18Austin freezes, too.

00:09:20He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.

00:09:26Catherine, what are you doing here?

00:09:28And with Mr. Warren?

00:09:30Where I go isn't any of your business.

00:09:32Who do you think you are to me?

00:09:37I'm your brother.

00:09:41I let out a cold laugh.

00:09:43Brother?

00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,

00:09:46did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:50Catherine

00:09:53is with me.

00:09:54His words are dripping with authority.

00:09:59Jolene approaches, her expression dark.

00:10:02Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?

00:10:05You never mentioned anything.

00:10:07And

00:10:07didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?

00:10:11I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.

00:10:16Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.

00:10:19Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.

00:10:22None of that is any of your business.

00:10:25Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?

00:10:29Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears.

00:10:33Here she goes again.

00:10:36Catherine, that's not what I meant.

00:10:40Catherine, where have you been?

00:10:42Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

00:10:45We're not that familiar.

00:10:48Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:51Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?

00:10:59Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.

00:11:10Excuse me.

00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:19Did you catch that?

00:11:21Liam said it himself.

00:11:22She's with him.

00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?

00:11:29Wait, Catherine?

00:11:31Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth?

00:11:34And brought back from some remote place?

00:11:37Judging by Jolene's little comments,

00:11:39the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.

00:11:43Look at Deccan's face.

00:11:45Is he starting to regret dumping her?

00:11:49I don't look back.

00:11:50But I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.

00:11:55The auction begins.

00:11:56One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.

00:12:00Beautiful work of art.

00:12:01A piece of history.

00:12:03A masterpiece.

00:12:10Dazzling.

00:12:12Dazzling.

00:12:12Priceless.

00:12:14But I've never been interested in jewelry.

00:12:16No matter how valuable, they're just stones.

00:12:19Just then, I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:22It's Jolene.

00:12:23Austin, this necklace is stunning.

00:12:26I really like it.

00:12:30Austin understands immediately.

00:12:32His eyes grow determined.

00:12:35Same as always.

00:12:36Whatever Jolene wants, Austin gives her.

00:12:43Once I was jealous.

00:12:45Now, I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:50Going once.

00:12:52Going twice.

00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,

00:12:55a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:12:5850 million.

00:13:0050 million.

00:13:01Sold.

00:13:02Congratulations, Mr. Warren.

00:13:05Liam walks up to the stage and claims the necklace.

00:13:13Then, to everyone's astonishment,

00:13:16he returns to me and fastens the necklace around my neck.

00:13:24It looks good on you.

00:13:28I really like it.

00:13:30The sight stings Jolene's eyes.

00:13:33Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.

00:13:35I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.

00:13:4250 million for a necklace.

00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.

00:13:47After the auction wraps up,

00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.

00:13:51Catherine, you really are something.

00:13:53A few days away and you've already hooked onto Liam.

00:13:56Nothing as impressive as your lifelong mastery

00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.

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

00:14:02Cut it out.

00:14:02There's no audience here, so no need to pretend.

00:14:05Jolene spots Declan approaching

00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,

00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:11Catherine, even if you dislike me,

00:14:13isn't this too much?

00:14:15Throwing juice on me?

00:14:17What happened?

00:14:18Declan, it's okay.

00:14:20I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:22Catherine, you still haven't grown up.

00:14:24Jolene is your sister.

00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine

00:14:30and flick my wrist,

00:14:31sending the whole glass onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:34There.

00:14:35That's something I actually did.

00:14:37And I only take responsibility for my own actions.

00:14:40Jolene is stunned.

00:14:42Declan freezes.

00:14:45Seems I arrived just after all the excitement ended.

00:14:48Quite the lesson in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:51Mr. Warren, this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:55Misunderstanding?

00:14:56There are security cameras here.

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

00:15:04Whispers erupt around them.

00:15:10Jolene's face goes from scarlet to ghostly pale.

00:15:14Let's go.

00:15:15The atmosphere here is suffocating.

00:15:18A fierce satisfaction rising in my chest.

00:15:20This time, I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:23Back in the Brown family,

00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.

00:15:26And all it got me was them pushing harder every time.

00:15:28Now, no one could step on me again.

00:15:36The following morning,

00:15:37I walk into the living area

00:15:39and notice Liam is already awake.

00:15:53Good morning.

00:15:56Good morning.

00:15:58I head to the kitchen

00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:05Just then, Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty

00:16:16who stunned everyone last night?

00:16:18That's Catherine Brown,

00:16:19my new personal doctor.

00:16:22You're serious?

00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough

00:16:26that I can't ignore it.

00:16:28Mr. Moreno,

00:16:29perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:31Your dark under eyes

00:16:33and shortness of breath

00:16:34suggest your vitality is running low.

00:16:36Winfred's face flushes immediately.

00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.

00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?

00:16:42Miss Brown,

00:16:43I'm not one to judge by appearances.

00:16:44But Liam's condition is severe.

00:16:46Many top experts have been stumped.

00:16:48And you?

00:16:49I'm not bothered.

00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt

00:16:52many times before.

00:16:54We'll see soon enough.

00:16:56Winred,

00:16:57maybe you ought to let

00:16:58Dr. Brown give you a prescription.

00:17:02Liam, are you kidding me?

00:17:03This girl...

00:17:04She's not just some girl.

00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:07Right now,

00:17:07she's the one keeping me alive.

00:17:09He then turns to me.

00:17:11Can you really fix me?

00:17:15Yes.

00:17:1630 minutes later,

00:17:18I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,

00:17:23exposing his toned chest.

00:17:26I pull out the silver needles

00:17:28and insert them with speed and precision.

00:17:34When the last needle is inserted,

00:17:37Liam's body shivers.

00:17:39And he spits out dark red clotted blood.

00:17:46What did you just do to him,

00:17:47Dr. Brown?

00:17:48How are you feeling now?

00:17:55I feel great.

00:17:57Lighter than I have in a long time.

00:17:59Don't let yourself get too stressed.

00:18:01And most importantly,

00:18:03you'll need to prioritize rest

00:18:05and abstinence.

00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.

00:18:08I'll take your advice seriously.

00:18:10Winfred leans in

00:18:11and quietly asks

00:18:12if I can help with his health.

00:18:16I go back to my room

00:18:18and return with a bottle of pills.

00:18:21These are pills for male vitality.

00:18:23One bottle costs $100,000.

00:18:25$100,000?

00:18:27Are these pills made of solid gold?

00:18:30The ingredients are rare

00:18:31and the process is complicated.

00:18:33Quality always demands a premium price.

00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:38A sports car can be repaired,

00:18:39but if your health fails,

00:18:42no sum of money will grant you a second chance.

00:18:45The following morning,

00:18:46just as I prepare to leave,

00:18:48my phone buzzles with a call from Austin.

00:18:52Catherine, come back here right now.

00:18:54What is it?

00:18:55You'll find out when you get here.

00:18:57I realize that for the sake of my own peace,

00:18:59cutting all connections

00:19:00with the Brown family is necessary.

00:19:03The mood in the living room

00:19:05is thick with tension.

00:19:11Look who's back.

00:19:12How did you sink so low at your age,

00:19:15becoming someone's mistress?

00:19:18Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.

00:19:20I'm afraid you're being misled.

00:19:23Who I decide to be with

00:19:24is my own business.

00:19:27It doesn't concern your family.

00:19:29You're a Brown!

00:19:32Everything you do

00:19:33stains our family's name!

00:19:37Catherine, seriously,

00:19:38do you think Liam would ever give you

00:19:40the time of day?

00:19:41Are you all finished?

00:19:43First, Liam and I have a strictly

00:19:45doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:47Second,

00:19:48even if there were something else,

00:19:50it's none of your business.

00:19:52And don't forget

00:19:53that I am no longer part of your family.

00:19:55You said you cut ties,

00:19:57so give back the Brown Group shares.

00:20:02Those shares came from Grandpa.

00:20:05You don't have a single right

00:20:07to any of it.

00:20:08I pull out my phone

00:20:09and show them the screen.

00:20:11Since I stepped in,

00:20:12I've been recording

00:20:13all your insults,

00:20:15threats,

00:20:15and schemes

00:20:16to grab the shares.

00:20:18Keep pushing me,

00:20:19and I won't hesitate

00:20:20to hand this over

00:20:21to the press and the law.

00:20:24I put my phone away,

00:20:26feeling nothing.

00:20:28I used to put up

00:20:29with everything

00:20:30you threw at me.

00:20:32Now it's your turn

00:20:33to taste

00:20:34what it feels like

00:20:35to be on the other end

00:20:36of a threat.

00:20:39I leave the Brown family home

00:20:41and prepare to go back.

00:20:46Suddenly,

00:20:47a voice calls out.

00:20:48Catherine,

00:20:49is that really you?

00:20:50Where have you been hiding?

00:20:51I look at the woman

00:20:52before me.

00:20:54She's nearly 50,

00:20:56her face lined

00:20:57with wrinkles,

00:20:58her expression

00:20:59mean and petty.

00:21:00What do you want?

00:21:01You must have money

00:21:02if you're surviving

00:21:03this well.

00:21:04My son needs school fees,

00:21:06and you owe me

00:21:07half a million.

00:21:08If you don't pay up,

00:21:09I'll make a scene

00:21:10outside your place

00:21:11every single day.

00:21:12If you need cash,

00:21:14ask your real daughter,

00:21:15Jolene.

00:21:16I raised you

00:21:17all those years,

00:21:18so you should compensate me.

00:21:20You ungrateful brat!

00:21:22Stay out of my way.

00:21:23Otherwise,

00:21:24I won't hesitate

00:21:25to involve the police

00:21:26and reopening the case

00:21:27about you switching infants.

00:21:29You...

00:21:29Don't do anything, Rash.

00:21:31I'll be going now.

00:21:32Bridget scurries off

00:21:34in panic.

00:21:38Just then,

00:21:39a sleek black Rolls Royce

00:21:41glides to a stop

00:21:42beside me.

00:21:44The window lowers,

00:21:45revealing Liam's

00:21:46handsome face.

00:21:48Do you need a hand?

00:21:49No, it's nothing serious.

00:21:51I've already taken care of it.

00:21:54Get in.

00:21:55It's nearly impossible

00:21:56to catch a taxi here.

00:21:58I hesitate,

00:21:59but eventually

00:21:59get into the car.

00:22:01Bridget's appearance

00:22:02reminds me of one thing.

00:22:03The Brown family's

00:22:05troubles aren't over.

00:22:06That woman's greed

00:22:07is bottomless.

00:22:08She won't let this go.

00:22:09But that's fine.

00:22:11I'm no longer

00:22:12that little girl

00:22:13who let others

00:22:14push her around.

00:22:16Anyone who wants

00:22:17to come after me

00:22:18had better think twice.

00:22:21On the weekend,

00:22:23Gerard asks to meet me

00:22:25at Harborview Genie,

00:22:26a popular restaurant.

00:22:31Catherine?

00:22:32I turn around

00:22:33and my eyes

00:22:34fall on Jaleen,

00:22:35standing with the Browns

00:22:36and the Fultons.

00:22:38Did you hear

00:22:39we'd be here

00:22:39and decide to show up

00:22:41just to cause a scene?

00:22:42Mr. Brown,

00:22:43I'm here for the food.

00:22:46Just then,

00:22:47a clear voice

00:22:48cuts through the tension.

00:22:51Miss Catherine Brown,

00:22:52you're here.

00:22:53Welcome,

00:22:54please follow me.

00:22:54Everyone stares in shock

00:22:56as I walk toward

00:22:57the most private,

00:22:58rarely accessible suite

00:22:59in the entire restaurant.

00:23:01How is she getting in there?

00:23:03There must be some mistake.

00:23:06I push open the suite door

00:23:08and Gerard immediately rises

00:23:10from his seat.

00:23:12Catherine,

00:23:12you made it.

00:23:13Gerard tells me

00:23:14his uncle has been diagnosed

00:23:16with a brain tumor.

00:23:17He says the required surgery

00:23:18carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:25Start with this medication.

00:23:26Come back in a week

00:23:27for a follow-up.

00:23:28We'll reassess then.

00:23:34Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:35I was sure

00:23:36you'd have a solution.

00:23:38After the meal,

00:23:39Gerard leans forward

00:23:40and asks if I need

00:23:41help with anything.

00:23:43I want to buy a house.

00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,

00:23:47but it must be

00:23:47extremely quiet

00:23:48and private

00:23:49with top-tier security.

00:23:50I'll handle it.

00:23:52I'll find something

00:23:52perfect for you.

00:23:53Oh, and you're starting

00:23:54at Aurelis University

00:23:55next Monday, right?

00:23:56I'm going to study.

00:23:58Medical school.

00:23:59You need to study medicine?

00:24:01You've got to be kidding me!

00:24:02I'm getting a formal degree

00:24:04and taking care

00:24:04of some personal business.

00:24:06Campus life

00:24:07isn't a bad experience

00:24:08after all.

00:24:11The manager hands me

00:24:12an exclusive

00:24:13premium membership card

00:24:14saying all my expenses here

00:24:16will be on the house

00:24:17from now on.

00:24:19I glance over at Gerard.

00:24:20And he breaks

00:24:21into a grin.

00:24:22Don't refuse it.

00:24:24This is our business,

00:24:25so just enjoy it.

00:24:29Fine.

00:24:30After being chased away

00:24:31from my private suite,

00:24:33Jolene drags herself

00:24:34to her family's box.

00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?

00:24:49Mom, I'm fine.

00:24:50I just stepped out

00:24:51to see who Catherine

00:24:52was meeting.

00:24:53I was worried about her,

00:24:55but she had me pushed away.

00:24:57What?

00:24:59How dare she treat you

00:25:01that way?

00:25:01That ungrateful girl!

00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:07I saw it too.

00:25:08The manager was treating Catherine

00:25:10with a lot of respect.

00:25:12Yes.

00:25:13That man had an aura

00:25:14you can't fake.

00:25:16Catherine is clearly

00:25:17in the high circles.

00:25:18No wonder she's trying

00:25:20to distance herself

00:25:21from us.

00:25:28Pathetic

00:25:28and disgraceful.

00:25:32Who knows

00:25:33what kind of company

00:25:34she's keeping now?

00:25:36Jolene's heart swells

00:25:37with secret satisfaction.

00:25:39I have burned my bridges

00:25:40with the family for good.

00:25:43She is the Brown family's

00:25:44one and only daughter now.

00:25:47The dinner finally ends

00:25:49and the two families part way

00:25:51at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:53When an unexpected grating voice

00:25:55rings out behind Jolene,

00:25:57she turn around

00:25:58and her smile freezes.

00:26:00It's her.

00:26:01Jolene!

00:26:03My dear daughter!

00:26:05Finally!

00:26:06I've found you!

00:26:07Her blood runs cold.

00:26:10Jolene,

00:26:12your younger brother

00:26:13needs money for school.

00:26:15Maybe you could help us out?

00:26:19I don't have time

00:26:21for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:22Take this

00:26:23and never show your face

00:26:24around me again.

00:26:25Jolene,

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

00:26:28The tuition alone

00:26:29is a hundred thousand.

00:26:30Her hands tremble

00:26:31with unbridled rage.

00:26:33This wretched woman

00:26:34just won't know her place.

00:26:35I don't know you!

00:26:37My parents already

00:26:38paid you enough

00:26:38to cut ties

00:26:39all those years ago!

00:26:45I can't let this go on.

00:26:47I need to find a way

00:26:48to get rid of this problem

00:26:49for good.

00:26:50The day I've been waiting for

00:26:52has finally arrived.

00:26:53My first day reporting

00:26:55to Aurarius University.

00:27:09Jolene,

00:27:10is this your sister?

00:27:11Since when

00:27:12does Avilius University

00:27:13let random nobodies walk in?

00:27:15Well, isn't this

00:27:16a lovely coincidence, Jolene?

00:27:18Looks like we're going

00:27:19to be classmates.

00:27:20Classmates?

00:27:20You and me?

00:27:21Don't be ridiculous!

00:27:24The lecture bell

00:27:26chimes sharp and clear

00:27:27and Professor Lambert Carter

00:27:29steps through the door.

00:27:30He's a living legend

00:27:32in the global medical field,

00:27:33the heart of this school's

00:27:35medical program.

00:27:36He turns to the class

00:27:37and poses an extremely complex

00:27:39peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:43The entire lecture hall

00:27:44falls dead silent,

00:27:46not a single student

00:27:47daring to speak up.

00:27:51Young lady,

00:27:52please tell us

00:27:53what you think.

00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly,

00:27:56no trace of panic

00:27:57in my movements,

00:27:58and stand up.

00:27:59I lay out my analysis

00:28:00clearly and concisely,

00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,

00:28:04clinical data,

00:28:04and real surgical cases

00:28:06effortlessly.

00:28:09She's incredible!

00:28:10Total beauty and brains!

00:28:12Who even is she?

00:28:14Jolene's face burns

00:28:16with jealousy,

00:28:17her grip tight on her pen.

00:28:20When the final bell rings,

00:28:22I walk out of the lecture hall.

00:28:24Jolene steps in front of me

00:28:26with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:28Catherine,

00:28:28just a few days away,

00:28:30and suddenly you're the one

00:28:32catching everyone's attention.

00:28:33Jolene,

00:28:34she's probably pulling stunts

00:28:36she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:37Exactly!

00:28:39Everyone whispers

00:28:40she knows how to charm

00:28:41the right people.

00:28:42Is that all?

00:28:44Now,

00:28:45move aside, mutt.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:50Paige steps forward

00:28:51to push me.

00:28:53I'm not going to

00:28:54warn you twice.

00:28:55Hands to yourselves.

00:28:59Catherine!

00:29:00You can't just touch

00:29:01people like that!

00:29:02Jolene,

00:29:03keep your little gang

00:29:04in check.

00:29:05If they open their mouths

00:29:06like that again,

00:29:07next time won't be so friendly.

00:29:09Watch your tone.

00:29:10You're messing with

00:29:11the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:14The Brown family?

00:29:16That's your problem,

00:29:18not mine.

00:29:20Stop pretending.

00:29:21It's pathetic.

00:29:23I turn and walk away.

00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion

00:29:33and find Liam in the living room.

00:29:37You were out?

00:29:39Yeah.

00:29:40I stopped by

00:29:41Aurelius University

00:29:42to check in.

00:29:43Also took a look

00:29:44at a new place

00:29:44while I was out.

00:29:46You're moving out?

00:29:47Yeah.

00:29:48Staying here long term

00:29:49isn't practical.

00:29:50Your treatment

00:29:51has leveled out.

00:29:52It won't interfere

00:29:52with your progress.

00:29:53Where's the new place?

00:29:55I offer the building

00:29:56and unit number

00:29:57of Sterling Haven

00:29:58without hesitation.

00:29:59Then I prepare

00:30:00a medicinal shower.

00:30:01The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:04A thin mist

00:30:05curling through the room.

00:30:08It's ready?

00:30:10Liam walks toward

00:30:11the treatment area

00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt

00:30:13as he moves.

00:30:15His long fingers

00:30:16loosen the fabric

00:30:17revealing toned muscles

00:30:19and defined contours.

00:30:22Take the pants off too.

00:30:27What's the matter?

00:30:29Feeling shy now?

00:30:30After some hesitation

00:30:31Liam strips down

00:30:32to his briefs

00:30:33and eases himself

00:30:34into the steaming water.

00:30:36Though composed

00:30:37moments ago

00:30:38my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:41It's not like

00:30:41this is the first time

00:30:42I've treated him.

00:30:44Why am I so flustered?

00:30:46Get it together Catherine.

00:30:48You're a doctor.

00:30:49Stay professional.

00:30:50Don't let a handsome face

00:30:52and a good body

00:30:52throw you off.

00:30:54The next day

00:30:55I head to the lab

00:30:57to find Lombert.

00:30:59Perfect timing.

00:31:00I've been wrestling

00:31:01with this data

00:31:01all morning.

00:31:02Come check this out.

00:31:07The two of us

00:31:08slip effortlessly

00:31:09into a heated discussion.

00:31:19Professor Carter,

00:31:20sorry to interrupt

00:31:21but there's something

00:31:22I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:23If you have something

00:31:24to say,

00:31:24just say it.

00:31:26Professor,

00:31:27I know you prize

00:31:28real skill

00:31:29but Kathleen is not

00:31:30who you think she is.

00:31:32She never attended

00:31:33a proper university.

00:31:34How could she grasp

00:31:35complex medical research?

00:31:36I'm afraid

00:31:37you're being deceived.

00:31:38Enough!

00:31:40Jolene,

00:31:40I don't know

00:31:41what you're trying to do

00:31:42with these accusations

00:31:43but I've seen enough

00:31:44to know true talent

00:31:45when it's in front of me.

00:31:47Catherine identified the error

00:31:48the moment she looked at it.

00:31:50Most PhD candidates

00:31:51wouldn't even catch

00:31:52this mistake

00:31:52the first time around.

00:31:53Tell me,

00:31:55how could anyone

00:31:56possibly fake

00:31:57that level of understanding?

00:32:03Professor Carter,

00:32:04I...

00:32:04I know true talent

00:32:06when I see it.

00:32:07I don't need

00:32:08your commentary.

00:32:09Now,

00:32:10please step outside.

00:32:14I...

00:32:16I...

00:32:17I...

00:32:18I...

00:32:19In that moment,

00:32:20I knew I'd found

00:32:22someone who saw me

00:32:23not the lies

00:32:24they spread about me.

00:32:32Hey,

00:32:33I'm Catherine Brown.

00:32:35Just as I walked

00:32:36into the classroom

00:32:37and took my seat,

00:32:38I noticed the girl

00:32:39next to me,

00:32:40her cheek marked

00:32:42by a dark birthmark.

00:32:44Hi,

00:32:45I'm Claudia Norris.

00:32:51Well,

00:32:52well,

00:32:52what do we have here?

00:32:53One caught attention

00:32:54by pure chance

00:32:55and the other...

00:32:56Well,

00:32:57the problem's pretty obvious.

00:32:59The snickling spread

00:33:00through the classroom

00:33:00in an instant.

00:33:01Every gaze nailed

00:33:02onto the two of us.

00:33:03Oh,

00:33:04come on,

00:33:04everyone.

00:33:05Don't be so harsh.

00:33:07Professor Carter

00:33:08thinks the world

00:33:09of Catherine.

00:33:12So she's really

00:33:13riding Professor Carter's

00:33:14coattails

00:33:15to get into med school?

00:33:16How pathetic.

00:33:18Oh,

00:33:19wow,

00:33:19Catherine,

00:33:19your shoes!

00:33:20They're the exact

00:33:21same as Jolene's!

00:33:23Come on,

00:33:24Catherine,

00:33:24you actually showed up

00:33:25wearing fake shoes?

00:33:26That's bold.

00:33:30Still,

00:33:31it's embarrassing

00:33:32as hell.

00:33:38All eyes

00:33:39in that instant

00:33:40were pinned

00:33:41on my feet.

00:33:43I feel like

00:33:44being judged

00:33:45in a high society party.

00:33:47The murmur

00:33:48in the room

00:33:49quickly grows

00:33:50into a loud buzz.

00:33:52Most of them

00:33:53were convinced

00:33:54the shoes

00:33:54on my feet

00:33:55were fake.

00:33:56Hey,

00:33:57Catherine,

00:33:57if you like

00:33:58those shoes,

00:33:59I don't mind

00:33:59lending you mine.

00:34:01Wearing fakes

00:34:02is bad.

00:34:03Thanks,

00:34:04but I'm

00:34:05pretty selective.

00:34:06I don't wear

00:34:07other people's shoes.

00:34:08Besides,

00:34:09we still don't

00:34:10actually know

00:34:11who's rocking

00:34:11the fakes,

00:34:12do we?

00:34:14I slowed

00:34:15my movements

00:34:15deliberately,

00:34:16lifted my foot,

00:34:17and aimed

00:34:18the heel

00:34:18straight at the crowd.

00:34:20Is that

00:34:21real?

00:34:22Of course.

00:34:23Here's what I know.

00:34:24Every pair

00:34:25designed by

00:34:25Future's lead designer

00:34:27Alan Lewis

00:34:28comes with

00:34:29a unique

00:34:30serial number.

00:34:32and the designer's

00:34:32initials.

00:34:33AL engraved

00:34:35on the inside heel.

00:34:36It can't be.

00:34:37But it is.

00:34:41Jolene,

00:34:42why don't you

00:34:42have a look

00:34:43inside your own heel?

00:34:45I'm not scared!

00:34:46She raises her foot

00:34:47and turns the inside

00:34:48of the heel

00:34:48toward everyone.

00:34:49It's empty.

00:34:54Impossible!

00:34:55My shoes are real!

00:34:56The marks are just

00:34:57worn down from use!

00:34:59You can barely

00:35:00see it now!

00:35:01Oh, really?

00:35:03Future's

00:35:03anti-counterfeit system

00:35:04is one of the most

00:35:05advanced in the world.

00:35:06Unless the shoes

00:35:07are completely wrecked,

00:35:08the serial number

00:35:09doesn't just disappear.

00:35:11Want to check right now?

00:35:12No!

00:35:13That won't be necessary!

00:35:14I must have

00:35:15just made a mistake!

00:35:17You wanted to embarrass me

00:35:18in front of everyone?

00:35:20Jolene,

00:35:21you seem to forget.

00:35:22What I do best

00:35:23is tear apart

00:35:24cheap facades

00:35:25like yours.

00:35:26After school,

00:35:27Jolene storms

00:35:28out of campus,

00:35:29fuming.

00:35:30Austin is there

00:35:31to pick her up.

00:35:36Jolene,

00:35:37what's going on?

00:35:38Did someone

00:35:38mess with you?

00:35:39Austin!

00:35:40Those limited edition

00:35:42shoes you got for me?

00:35:45Catherine showed up

00:35:46wearing the exact same pair

00:35:47and accused mine

00:35:48of being fake!

00:35:50Showtime.

00:35:57Catherine,

00:35:58wait!

00:36:04What gives you

00:36:04the right to accuse

00:36:05Jolene's shoes

00:36:06of being fake?

00:36:11Just take the shoes

00:36:12to the store

00:36:13for verification.

00:36:14Verify them?

00:36:15Who do you think

00:36:16you are?

00:36:17Who do you think

00:36:20Who do you think

00:36:21you are?

00:36:22Who do you think

00:36:23Who do you think

00:36:25lucky for me?

00:36:26Future's black gold

00:36:27members get

00:36:28priority verification.

00:36:30The future black card?

00:36:32How the hell

00:36:33does she have that?

00:36:34Austin,

00:36:35let's just get

00:36:35this over with!

00:36:42No, forget it.

00:36:43This isn't worth

00:36:44the headache.

00:36:45Let's just go home.

00:37:01What's going on here?

00:37:04Liam gets out of the car,

00:37:06moving with authority.

00:37:11They look at him nervously,

00:37:13like rats looking at a cat.

00:37:16Mr. Warren,

00:37:18is everything alright?

00:37:20Mr. Warren,

00:37:21it's nothing serious.

00:37:23Catherine just insisted

00:37:24my shoes weren't real.

00:37:30Do you need any help?

00:37:31No, it's fine.

00:37:33Nothing to worry about.

00:37:34Mr. Warren,

00:37:36this is a private

00:37:37family matter.

00:37:38Family matter?

00:37:39if Catherine's involved.

00:37:42It's my business too.

00:37:47Let's go.

00:37:48Dinner's waiting.

00:37:55Your turn is over.

00:37:57Fake shoes

00:37:58always end up

00:37:59rubbing the heel raw.

00:38:01You might want to

00:38:02change yours.

00:38:04I'm sorry.

00:38:06I'm sorry.

00:38:08I'm sorry.

00:38:09I'm sorry.

00:38:11I feel a quiet thrill

00:38:13of satisfaction.

00:38:14You thought you could

00:38:15humiliate me with

00:38:16fake shoes?

00:38:16Look how that backfired.

00:38:19Back in the Brown family,

00:38:21I always had to bite my

00:38:23tongue and step aside.

00:38:25Now, with Liam backing me up,

00:38:28I have nothing to fear.

00:38:40The next afternoon,

00:38:42I wheel a small suitcase

00:38:43to my new home,

00:38:44Sterling Haven.

00:38:46Just as I step out

00:38:47of the car,

00:38:48Catherine?

00:38:49a familiar voice

00:38:50calls out behind me.

00:38:52I turn and see

00:38:54Declan and Jolene

00:38:55standing not far away.

00:38:57What's going on here?

00:38:59Why are you at this place?

00:39:01Catherine,

00:39:02why are you hauling

00:39:03a suitcase here?

00:39:04Are you sure you haven't

00:39:05gotten the wrong place?

00:39:07This is Sterling Haven.

00:39:08If you don't want

00:39:09the security guards

00:39:10kicking you out,

00:39:11you better leave.

00:39:12I live here.

00:39:13So yeah,

00:39:14I'm pretty sure

00:39:14I know my own address.

00:39:16Your home?

00:39:17Wait,

00:39:18are you working here?

00:39:19Like, on the staff?

00:39:20I can't help but laugh.

00:39:22Jolene,

00:39:23your imagination is wild.

00:39:24So tell me,

00:39:25what about you two?

00:39:27Are you here to apply

00:39:28for janitor

00:39:29or security jobs?

00:39:30Declan and I are here

00:39:31looking for a place

00:39:33to settle down.

00:39:34Our wedding apartment,

00:39:35actually.

00:39:37I calmly reach

00:39:38into my bag

00:39:39and pull out

00:39:39an access card,

00:39:43tapping it

00:39:43against the reader.

00:39:47A beep confirms access.

00:39:52Declan and Jolene

00:39:53freeze in shock.

00:39:57Just moved into

00:39:58Sterling Haven

00:39:59and the silence

00:40:00of the night

00:40:00was shattered.

00:40:03There's a race

00:40:04tomorrow evening.

00:40:05The prize is huge.

00:40:07Feeling the itch?

00:40:09Who's racing?

00:40:11The same arrogant group

00:40:12of wealthy young men.

00:40:14They've been throwing

00:40:15challenges at Evora.

00:40:17Oh,

00:40:18and the Brown family

00:40:20will be there too.

00:40:21What's the prize?

00:40:23A million dollars

00:40:24plus a limited edition

00:40:26sports car.

00:40:27Send me the details.

00:40:30Since they're throwing

00:40:31themselves at me,

00:40:32I see no reason

00:40:33to refuse.

00:40:37Four in the afternoon,

00:40:39I drive towards

00:40:40the racetrack

00:40:41in the suburb.

00:40:56I sign that name.

00:40:58The one they both dread

00:40:59and go mad over.

00:41:05Oh,

00:41:05it's Evora!

00:41:07Our idol Evora

00:41:08has arrived!

00:41:09I've arrived!

00:41:11Evora?

00:41:12It's probably

00:41:13just someone pretending.

00:41:18She wouldn't show up

00:41:19for a small race

00:41:20like this.

00:41:28Just then,

00:41:30that flashy blue GTR

00:41:31pulled up

00:41:32right in front of me.

00:41:36Catherine?

00:41:38What are you doing here?

00:41:39this isn't a playground

00:41:41for careless drivers.

00:41:44If trash like you

00:41:46is allowed here,

00:41:47why shouldn't I be?

00:41:52Explain yourself!

00:41:57As if I'm going to.

00:42:01As expected,

00:42:02he got angry

00:42:03out of embarrassment,

00:42:04resorting to such

00:42:05underhanded,

00:42:06pathetic tactics.

00:42:07but he can't

00:42:08touch me.

00:42:10Laying hands

00:42:10on someone in public?

00:42:12That's a bad look.

00:42:13Let go!

00:42:14Don't you know

00:42:14who I am?

00:42:19Whoever you are,

00:42:20if you touch

00:42:20Catherine again,

00:42:22you'll regret it.

00:42:26We'll settle this

00:42:27on the race course.

00:42:29Hopefully,

00:42:30you don't crash out

00:42:30in the first round.

00:42:33The signal light

00:42:34blinks on

00:42:35and the five engines

00:42:36roar to life.

00:42:37The green light

00:42:37flashes

00:42:38and Jackson's GTR

00:42:39shoots forward.

00:42:40At the first corner,

00:42:41I execute a drift

00:42:43unlike anything

00:42:43he's ever seen

00:42:44and pull ahead.

00:42:45The next stretch

00:42:46of the track

00:42:47turns into a full-on

00:42:48display of my skill.

00:42:54I flow through

00:42:55every bed

00:42:56as if I designed

00:42:57them myself.

00:42:59It's Yvera!

00:43:01She's really

00:43:02the legendary Yvera!

00:43:10My gray car

00:43:11shoots through

00:43:12the final stretch

00:43:13and crosses

00:43:14the finish line first.

00:43:27I push open

00:43:28the door

00:43:29and pull off

00:43:29my helmet,

00:43:30my ponytail swinging

00:43:31in the breeze.

00:43:35My face stays calm,

00:43:37showing no excitement.

00:43:48You...

00:43:49You're really Yvera?

00:43:54Tell me,

00:43:55who's the idiot now?

00:43:59So you were

00:44:00tricking us

00:44:00this whole time?

00:44:02On the day I returned,

00:44:03I told all of you

00:44:04I liked racing.

00:44:06But not a single one

00:44:07of you ever bothered

00:44:08to listen.

00:44:11I step around

00:44:12Jackson and walk off

00:44:13without looking back.

00:44:18I never wanted

00:44:19to flaunt

00:44:20being Yvera.

00:44:22But since you

00:44:23kept pushing,

00:44:24now you get to see

00:44:25who the real

00:44:25Catherine Brown

00:44:26really is.

00:44:50he drops the video

00:44:51into the group chat

00:44:52and tags Liam directly.

00:44:58Liam, you have

00:44:59to see this.

00:45:00I swear it'll

00:45:00knock you sideways.

00:45:02Please.

00:45:02Nothing on earth

00:45:03surprises Liam.

00:45:05What nonsense

00:45:06are you stirring up now?

00:45:14Liam opens the video,

00:45:15sees me stepping out

00:45:17of the gray car,

00:45:18and a flicker

00:45:19of real shock

00:45:20crosses eyes.

00:45:21It's her.

00:45:27Okay,

00:45:27I'm genuinely blown away.

00:45:29Liam,

00:45:30what kind of divine helper

00:45:31do you have in your life?

00:45:32This woman is pure magic.

00:45:33Nick,

00:45:34told you.

00:45:35I knew even Liam

00:45:36couldn't stay calm

00:45:37after this.

00:45:54Catherine,

00:45:55just how much

00:45:56are you still hiding?

00:46:01The next day,

00:46:03I walk into the classroom.

00:46:06Catherine,

00:46:07I got you

00:46:07your favorite coffee.

00:46:08I smile

00:46:09and pull out

00:46:10a delicate porcelain

00:46:11bottle from my bag.

00:46:13Apply this ointment

00:46:14to the spot

00:46:15before bed.

00:46:17You should see results

00:46:18in about a month.

00:46:19Thank you so much,

00:46:20Catherine.

00:46:21Do you really think

00:46:22it will work?

00:46:22A mocking laugh

00:46:23cuts through the air.

00:46:25Consistency is the key.

00:46:27I'm confident

00:46:27it'll heal.

00:46:31Seriously?

00:46:32You actually think

00:46:33a homemade cream

00:46:34will magically

00:46:35make you beautiful?

00:46:36My eyes darken

00:46:37as I fix Paige

00:46:38with a piercing stare.

00:46:41Apologize.

00:46:42Why should I apologize?

00:46:44I'm just speaking

00:46:45the truth.

00:46:46Catherine,

00:46:47Paige can be

00:46:48a bit blunt.

00:46:49She didn't mean

00:46:50to be hurtful.

00:46:51Paige was only

00:46:52trying to warn you.

00:46:54The ointments

00:46:54you're handing out

00:46:55aren't officially approved.

00:46:57If Claudian's condition

00:46:58gets worse,

00:47:00that could cause

00:47:01a big problem.

00:47:02It's to heal,

00:47:03not harm.

00:47:04Why do you jump

00:47:05to conclusions

00:47:06without a shred

00:47:06of proof?

00:47:11tell me,

00:47:12have you ever

00:47:13actually tested

00:47:14these ointments

00:47:15yourself?

00:47:15Claudian,

00:47:17use your ointment

00:47:17without any worries.

00:47:19If anything happens,

00:47:20I will take

00:47:21full responsibility.

00:47:23Jolene Brown,

00:47:24my medical skills

00:47:25aren't something

00:47:25outers to question.

00:47:31Catherine,

00:47:32I believe in you.

00:47:34Just as the school

00:47:35day wraps up,

00:47:36rain suddenly begins

00:47:36pouring down

00:47:37in heavy sheets.

00:47:38I had anticipated this,

00:47:40so an umbrella

00:47:40is tucked safely

00:47:41in my bag.

00:47:42Pulling it out,

00:47:43I open it and step

00:47:44out into the downpour.

00:47:47Catherine,

00:47:47wait!

00:47:48Can I share

00:47:49your umbrella

00:47:49with you?

00:47:50No.

00:47:52I turn around

00:47:53and see Jolene

00:47:54huddled beneath

00:47:54my umbrella.

00:47:56Without another word,

00:47:58I turn and walk away.

00:48:00Before long,

00:48:01the rain soaks

00:48:02her to the bone.

00:48:04Catherine,

00:48:05it's pouring out here.

00:48:07I just wanted

00:48:08to walk with you

00:48:09for a bit.

00:48:10Jolene is left

00:48:11standing there,

00:48:12stunned.

00:48:15I already said no.

00:48:17My umbrella's

00:48:18too small for two.

00:48:20And honestly,

00:48:21I'm not comfortable

00:48:22being that close

00:48:22to anyone.

00:48:24Jolene is furious.

00:48:25A sleek black car

00:48:27rolls to a slow stop

00:48:28at the gate.

00:48:29It's Austin's.

00:48:34Austin!

00:48:36Jolene?

00:48:37How did you get

00:48:38this soaked?

00:48:38Didn't you bring

00:48:39an umbrella?

00:48:39You'll catch a cold

00:48:40like this.

00:48:41He glances out

00:48:42the window just in time

00:48:43to see me walking past

00:48:45holding my umbrella.

00:48:47Catherine,

00:48:47you had an umbrella.

00:48:48Why didn't you

00:48:49share it with Jolene?

00:48:57Do you really think

00:48:58we're close enough

00:48:59for that?

00:49:01Catherine!

00:49:02Jolene is family.

00:49:04Look at her.

00:49:04She's drenched.

00:49:06You had an umbrella

00:49:06and didn't even

00:49:07think to help her?

00:49:10I don't know.

00:49:11I don't know.

00:49:13I don't know.

00:49:15I don't know.

00:49:16She went way too far.

00:49:19Before I speak,

00:49:20a nearby student

00:49:21steps in.

00:49:22Please.

00:49:22I saw Jolene give

00:49:23her umbrella to

00:49:24someone else just

00:49:24to look noble

00:49:25and then she tried

00:49:26to free float it

00:49:26off Catherine.

00:49:27Catherine didn't

00:49:28want to share,

00:49:28so what?

00:49:29Stop trying to

00:49:30guilt trip her.

00:49:31So what?

00:49:32The rain was pouring.

00:49:34Sharing wouldn't

00:49:35kill her.

00:49:36Catherine's.

00:49:37Catherine's just

00:49:37being selfish.

00:49:38Paige, please.

00:49:39You don't even

00:49:39know what happened.

00:49:40Jolene gave her

00:49:41umbrella away just

00:49:41to look generous.

00:49:42Austin,

00:49:43that's not what

00:49:44happened.

00:49:44I only wanted

00:49:46to get closer

00:49:46to her.

00:49:48I didn't realize

00:49:48she disliked me

00:49:49so much.

00:49:50Keep your little

00:49:51performances away

00:49:52from me.

00:49:52Don't test me.

00:50:06In the classroom,

00:50:07I sit quietly

00:50:08at my desk,

00:50:09flipping through

00:50:09my notes.

00:50:10Catherine,

00:50:11I heard Jolene's

00:50:11really sick today.

00:50:12She didn't come

00:50:13to class.

00:50:13Rain and cold,

00:50:14it's pretty normal

00:50:15to feel under

00:50:15the weather afterward.

00:50:17A loud commotion

00:50:17erupts at the

00:50:18classroom entrance.

00:50:20Feel satisfied

00:50:21now, Catherine?

00:50:22Jolene's in the

00:50:23hospital with a

00:50:23high fever,

00:50:24all because you

00:50:25wouldn't share

00:50:25your stupid

00:50:25umbrella.

00:50:26I calmly shut

00:50:27my notebook

00:50:28and rise to

00:50:28my feet.

00:50:29A chilly,

00:50:31razor-thin smile

00:50:32forms on my

00:50:33lips.

00:50:33She's sick,

00:50:35and that's

00:50:35supposed to be

00:50:36my responsibility?

00:50:37Is this

00:50:37seriously your

00:50:38reaction?

00:50:39Jolene's

00:50:39hospitalized,

00:50:40and you're

00:50:40standing here

00:50:41tossing out

00:50:41sarcastic comments?

00:50:42And what

00:50:43exactly does

00:50:43her hospital

00:50:44stale have

00:50:44to do with

00:50:45me?

00:50:45Did I make

00:50:46her give

00:50:46away her

00:50:46umbrella?

00:50:47Or did I

00:50:47physically send

00:50:48her into

00:50:48the storm?

00:50:49You!

00:50:51And honestly,

00:50:51if she were

00:50:52sick enough to

00:50:52be hospitalized,

00:50:54would she really

00:50:54have the energy

00:50:55to publicize it

00:50:56to the entire

00:50:56school?

00:50:57I asked her

00:50:58personally.

00:50:59Great.

00:51:00Tell me which

00:51:01hospital she's

00:51:01at.

00:51:02I'll arrange

00:51:03for top clear

00:51:03specialists to

00:51:04check on her.

00:51:06I begin dialing,

00:51:07and Paige

00:51:08immediately panics.

00:51:10No!

00:51:10You don't have

00:51:11to do that!

00:51:12Jolene said

00:51:12she only needs

00:51:13rest.

00:51:16How did you

00:51:17figure out

00:51:17she was faking?

00:51:19I've watched

00:51:19her pull the

00:51:20same act more

00:51:21times than I can

00:51:21count.

00:51:23On the

00:51:24weekend,

00:51:25Claudian asks

00:51:25me to go

00:51:26shopping with

00:51:27her.

00:51:28We pause

00:51:29in front of

00:51:29dessert shop,

00:51:31across from

00:51:32a famous

00:51:32brand boutique.

00:51:33Jolene is

00:51:34there too.

00:51:38Oh,

00:51:39look who it

00:51:39is,

00:51:39Catherine!

00:51:40Fancy seeing

00:51:41you here!

00:51:41Shopping too,

00:51:42huh?

00:51:43What's the

00:51:44matter?

00:51:44Didn't expect

00:51:45to see you in

00:51:45a place like

00:51:46this?

00:51:46This isn't

00:51:47some place

00:51:47for just

00:51:48anyone.

00:51:49Bet that

00:51:49ice cream

00:51:50cost you

00:51:50half a day's

00:51:51wages?

00:51:52Jolene steps

00:51:53forward and

00:51:54accidentally

00:51:54splashes her

00:51:55coffee onto

00:51:56my white

00:51:56dress.

00:51:58Oh no,

00:51:59Catherine!

00:51:59I'm so

00:52:00sorry!

00:52:00I tripped!

00:52:01I didn't

00:52:02mean to!

00:52:03I look down

00:52:04at the stains

00:52:04on my dress,

00:52:05my eyes

00:52:06turning cold.

00:52:11Do you

00:52:11even know

00:52:12how much

00:52:12this dress

00:52:12costs?

00:52:13It's just

00:52:13a dress.

00:52:14I can

00:52:15buy you

00:52:15a new

00:52:15one.

00:52:18She pulls

00:52:19two hundred

00:52:20dollars and

00:52:20tosses them

00:52:21at me.

00:52:23use this

00:52:23to get

00:52:24yourself

00:52:24a new

00:52:25one.

00:52:25I look

00:52:26at the

00:52:26ice cream

00:52:26in my

00:52:27hand

00:52:32and press

00:52:33it onto

00:52:33Jolene's

00:52:34face.

00:52:36Oops!

00:52:37Sorry,

00:52:38my hand

00:52:38just slipped.

00:52:39It's just a

00:52:40little mess.

00:52:41A quick wipe

00:52:42and you'll be

00:52:42fine.

00:52:43Jolene

00:52:44screams.

00:52:46Catherine!

00:52:47What on

00:52:48earth are

00:52:48you doing?

00:52:49Are you

00:52:50crazy?

00:52:50Anne steps

00:52:51out of the

00:52:51fitting room

00:52:52and gasps

00:52:53at Jolene's

00:52:53appearance.

00:52:59Jolene!

00:53:00What on

00:53:01earth happened

00:53:02to you?

00:53:03Mom,

00:53:04it's all

00:53:04my fault.

00:53:05I accidentally

00:53:06spilled coffee

00:53:07on Catherine's

00:53:08dress.

00:53:09I've already

00:53:10paid her

00:53:10back,

00:53:11but she's

00:53:12acting like

00:53:12it's not

00:53:13enough.

00:53:18Catherine,

00:53:19why are you

00:53:20picking on

00:53:20Jolene again?

00:53:23Anne pulls a

00:53:25thick wad of

00:53:25cash from her

00:53:26purse.

00:53:28Catherine,

00:53:29don't push

00:53:29this further.

00:53:30If it's

00:53:31money you

00:53:31want,

00:53:32apologize

00:53:32to Jolene.

00:53:33Not nearly

00:53:34enough.

00:53:36Yes,

00:53:37this is our

00:53:38anniversary

00:53:38edition.

00:53:39It retails

00:53:40for $180,000

00:53:41and is

00:53:41completely

00:53:42sold out.

00:53:43Either pay

00:53:44me three

00:53:44times its

00:53:45value,

00:53:46or I'll

00:53:46report this

00:53:47as intentional

00:53:48property damage

00:53:49to the

00:53:50police.

00:53:51Who said

00:53:51we wouldn't

00:53:52compensate?

00:53:53She reluctantly

00:53:53writes a

00:53:54check.

00:53:56Take it.

00:53:57This is like

00:53:58burning money.

00:54:00Next time,

00:54:00I won't

00:54:01bother

00:54:01negotiating.

00:54:02I'll go

00:54:02straight to

00:54:03the police.

00:54:04I feel a

00:54:04deep,

00:54:05satisfying

00:54:05pleasure.

00:54:06$540,000.

00:54:07That's going

00:54:08to sting

00:54:08for a while.

00:54:10Back in

00:54:10the Brown

00:54:10family,

00:54:11I let you

00:54:12walk all

00:54:12over me.

00:54:13I swallowed

00:54:13every insult.

00:54:15Not

00:54:15anymore.

00:54:16From

00:54:16now on,

00:54:17every single

00:54:18debt gets

00:54:19paid back

00:54:19with interest.

00:54:20After the

00:54:21meal,

00:54:21I wave

00:54:22goodbye to

00:54:22Claudian at

00:54:23the restaurant's

00:54:24entrance.

00:54:29I've only

00:54:29walked a

00:54:30short distance

00:54:30when a

00:54:31terrified

00:54:31scream cuts

00:54:32through the

00:54:33air.

00:54:34Help!

00:54:35Someone help!

00:54:36Is there a

00:54:37doctor here?

00:54:38I turn towards

00:54:39the commotion

00:54:39and see a

00:54:40well-dressed

00:54:41woman kneeling

00:54:41beside an

00:54:42elderly woman

00:54:43who has

00:54:43collapsed.

00:54:44Wake up!

00:54:45I push through

00:54:45the crowd and

00:54:46kneel down to

00:54:47examine her.

00:54:51Ma'am,

00:54:52don't panic.

00:54:53Does she have a

00:54:54history of heart

00:54:54disease?

00:54:55Yes.

00:54:56She has

00:54:57coronary heart

00:54:58disease.

00:55:00I reach into

00:55:02my bag and

00:55:03pull out a

00:55:03small bottle of

00:55:04nitroglycerin

00:55:05pills.

00:55:06I slide a

00:55:07tablet under

00:55:08her tongue and

00:55:08begin CPR.

00:55:22After several

00:55:23long minutes,

00:55:24the elderly

00:55:25woman lets

00:55:25out a faint

00:55:26groan.

00:55:28Paramedics

00:55:29arrive and

00:55:29take over.

00:55:32Very

00:55:32professional.

00:55:33You've brought

00:55:34us precious

00:55:34time.

00:55:36Which hospital

00:55:37do you work

00:55:37at?

00:55:38I have to

00:55:38thank you

00:55:39properly.

00:55:44I'm still a

00:55:45student.

00:55:46Helping people

00:55:46is just

00:55:47something I

00:55:47have to do.

00:55:54I quietly

00:55:55gather my

00:55:55things and

00:55:56slip away

00:55:57while the

00:55:57crowd watches

00:55:58with admiration.

00:55:59The next

00:56:00morning, I

00:56:01intentionally leave

00:56:02home early, but

00:56:03the Browns are

00:56:03already lying in

00:56:04wait at the

00:56:05school entrance.

00:56:07Catherine!

00:56:10Jolene plunges

00:56:11to hug me, but I

00:56:12smoothly dodge

00:56:13her.

00:56:14Catherine, come

00:56:16home with me.

00:56:17Your grandmother's

00:56:18back and wants

00:56:19to see you.

00:56:23Sorry, but I

00:56:24don't really know

00:56:25you people.

00:56:25We don't have

00:56:26time for your

00:56:27nonsense.

00:56:27You're coming

00:56:28home with us

00:56:28today.

00:56:32Since it's the

00:56:33busiest time for

00:56:34students arriving,

00:56:34a bunch of

00:56:36curious students

00:56:36have already

00:56:37stopped to

00:56:38watch.

00:56:40A sleek

00:56:41black Bentley

00:56:42eases to a

00:56:43stop right

00:56:43beside us.

00:56:44The window

00:56:45lowers smoothly,

00:56:46and Liam's

00:56:47sharply contoured

00:56:48face comes

00:56:49into view.

00:56:52Catherine, get

00:56:53in the car.

00:56:59I've got class

00:57:00in a few minutes.

00:57:01What brings you

00:57:01here so early?

00:57:04They didn't

00:57:05bother you, did

00:57:06they?

00:57:06No.

00:57:07They're irrelevant.

00:57:08I'm heading in.

00:57:12And without

00:57:13waiting for his

00:57:14response, I

00:57:15simply turn and

00:57:15leave.

00:57:19The browns erupt

00:57:20the moment I

00:57:21brush past them

00:57:22like they're

00:57:22strangers on the

00:57:23street.

00:57:24Are we seriously

00:57:24letting that girl

00:57:25walk all over

00:57:26us?

00:57:27She might

00:57:28ignore us,

00:57:29but someone else

00:57:30can get through

00:57:31to her.

00:57:31She won't dare

00:57:32skip her

00:57:33grandmother's

00:57:33birthday banquet.

00:57:37She'll show

00:57:37up for that.

00:57:38After my classes

00:57:39wrap up, I head

00:57:40home, ready to

00:57:41relax, until my

00:57:42phone starts buzzing

00:57:43in my pocket.

00:57:48Catherine, I'm

00:57:49sending you an

00:57:49address.

00:57:50Come eat with

00:57:50us.

00:57:50They've got all

00:57:51your favorites,

00:57:52and there's a

00:57:52surprise for you

00:57:53too.

00:57:54I hop into a

00:57:55cab, take the

00:57:56elevator up, and

00:57:57text Jared.

00:58:00Which room are

00:58:01you guys in?

00:58:03The elevator doors

00:58:04slide open, and I

00:58:06walk out, my eyes

00:58:07glued to my phone.

00:58:10Before I can take

00:58:11two steps, a hand

00:58:12suddenly pulls me

00:58:13aside.

00:58:14So this is who you

00:58:15really are?

00:58:16Waiting all this time

00:58:17just to pull this?

00:58:18You followed me here?

00:58:19Declan, of

00:58:21course.

00:58:22What?

00:58:23Touched a nerve?

00:58:24You show up where I

00:58:25hang out hoping I'll

00:58:26notice you again?

00:58:28Catherine, you

00:58:29really haven't

00:58:29changed.

00:58:30Still using the same

00:58:31desperate tricks.

00:58:32Isn't she that

00:58:33brown family daughter?

00:58:34The one they

00:58:34recently reclaimed?

00:58:35Yep.

00:58:36Looks like she's

00:58:36still running after

00:58:37Declan like always.

00:58:38Declan, drop the

00:58:39ego.

00:58:39I'm here for someone

00:58:39else.

00:58:40You don't even

00:58:40make the top

00:58:41hundred.

00:58:41Stop acting like

00:58:42the world revolves

00:58:43around you.

00:58:45Aha, so I got to

00:58:46you.

00:58:47That's why you're

00:58:47biting back?

00:58:48Do me a favor and

00:58:50stay away.

00:58:51I don't want anyone

00:58:52assuming we have

00:58:52history.

00:58:55I stride toward the

00:58:57highest tier private

00:58:57suite without looking

00:58:58back.

00:59:07Whoa, what

00:59:08happened to you?

00:59:13I'm fine.

00:59:23Catherine, wait till

00:59:24you see this.

00:59:35Hold on.

00:59:36Is that...

00:59:37Yep.

00:59:38The one from the

00:59:39Veritas auction last

00:59:40month.

00:59:40You kept staring at it,

00:59:42so I figured I'd just

00:59:43buy the damn thing

00:59:44for you.

00:59:45Thanks, Gerald.

00:59:46Hey, don't go

00:59:48formal on me.

00:59:49Something like this

00:59:50deserves an owner

00:59:51who actually gets it.

01:00:18katherine i heard you moved out did something happen did the browns push you too far again

01:00:24i'm fine auntie i left on my own terms your grandmother returned you heard her birthday

01:00:32banquet is next week she actually called me earlier and told me to ask you to come

01:00:38auntie i'm no longer part of the brown family katherine please she's getting older just give

01:00:46her this one courtesy all right i'll show up on time i exhale slowly so this is happening

01:00:53no dodging it now my eyes move back to the gemstone in its wooden box it would make a clean

01:00:59elegant

01:00:59birthday gift the night of amelia's birthday banquet has come the brown estate glows with

01:01:06extravagant decorations i stroll in wearing simple casual clothes jolene drifts graciously

01:01:15through the guests in a blush pink couture gown low whispers swirl around the gathered guests

01:01:21about how shabby i look lawrence's and anna's expressions grow cold and tense isn't that

01:01:27the one who broke ties with the browns and she just shows up to grandma's birthday like that

01:01:34wild or not she's stunning those sharp features and that presence can't be ignored

01:01:42jolene steps forward her smile dazzling and perfectly practiced grandma happy birthday i know how much you

01:01:50adore gemstones so i asked the auction house to find something really special for you a rare warm gem

01:02:01and you katherine what did you bring i reach into my black bag and pull out a small wooden box

01:02:09as i open the lid the room falls deathly silent nestled inside is another gemstone

01:02:19to give grandma a fake that's just disrespectful katherine fake katherine don't you realize how humiliating

01:02:28this is for our family amid the crowd's murmurs and accusations i stay composed

01:02:41you say mine's a fake on what proof maybe yours is the counterfeit isn't it obvious this gem is

01:02:49incredibly rare there can't be two exactly the same

01:02:56mine's been authenticated by several experts it's the real deal a knowing smile curves my lips

01:03:03as i bring my gem up and lightly press it against an aliyah's wrist this is it they say a

01:03:12genuine warm

01:03:12gem changes color depending on its wearer's vitality it's a unique almost magical trait

01:03:19why don't we test jolene's gem the same way

01:03:23she tried to pin it on katherine when it was her own gift that was false that's impossible i paid

01:03:2910

01:03:29million for this at the luxurious auction house i even have the receipt and certificate to prove it

01:03:34pulling out her phone she quickly dials the number what she hears makes her eyes widened in shock

01:03:40just then someone glances at their phone and blurts out the luxurious auction house director got hooked

01:03:45on gambling jolene stumbles backward dropping her phone with a loud clatter today is my birthday

01:03:53celebration let's put an end to this now jolene acted with good intentions but was misled for the

01:04:00very first time anala looks at me without that usual air of disappointment

01:04:07you know katherine i actually like this

01:04:14jolene bites down hard on her lower lip her nails digging into her palm justine approaches me

01:04:23katherine i'm sorry about everything that went down earlier

01:04:27i'm okay you only stop feeling hurt when you stop expecting anything from anyone

01:04:35not long after friends call justina away a maid makes her way around offering champagne when she

01:04:42gets to me i decline the maid hurries away and comes back moments later holding a glass of juice

01:04:50i study the juice for a moment i lift the glass and drink it down in one steady guilt

01:04:55a few minutes pass before the same maid shows up again i'm so so sorry i didn't mean for this

01:05:03to

01:05:03happen she slips and the entire drink splashes across my outfit katherine i'm really sorry the

01:05:11staff can be a bit careless why don't you slip into one of my dresses i've got tons upstairs you

01:05:15can use the guest room to change wow the rules in this house are intriguing to say the least i

01:05:20hear

01:05:20every bit of the sarcasm sophia is practically mocking jolene who acts like she owns the

01:05:25place the maid exhales relieved beyond measure and hurries forward i start after her but pause to

01:05:32throw jolene one last look the maid leads me far inside the mansion to a guest room as soon as

01:05:38she

01:05:38leaves the door shuts quietly and i hear the lock slide into place i go over to check the window

01:05:46but

01:05:46it's stuck tight probably locked from the outside a strange warmth begins spreading under my skin

01:05:53i take a steady breath pull a small ceramic file from my pocket and swallow an antidote

01:05:59i had drunk the tampered juice simply because i wanted to see the full extent of jolene's trap

01:06:09a few moments later i hear faint uneven footsteps outside the door i lay down on the bed

01:06:16completely still and quiet the door creaks open slowly

01:06:24getting impatient huh don't worry sweetheart i'll take real good care of you but suddenly

01:06:31my eyes snap wide open

01:06:36the scream tears from him he crumples to the floor in an instant folding over and wrigling on the carpet

01:06:45i calmly step over him and shut the door behind me i ease into the corner just outside ready to

01:06:51watch

01:06:52not long after jolene appears sneaking cautiously down the hall

01:06:59she presses her ear against the door then pulls it wide open

01:07:11she barely has time to registry it before the man lunges at her

01:07:18stay away get off me man pretty girl the other one took a heap but you

01:07:24you'll do just fine don't you dare touch me i'm a brown touch me and you're dead

01:07:33oh man yeah that just makes it way more interesting

01:07:44after closing the door behind me i calmly make my way back to the banquet hall

01:07:50sophia who had earlier stood by my side approaches with a warm smile and extends her hand

01:07:55i'm sophia flynn how about we get better acquainted katherine brown it's a pleasure to meet you

01:08:01about 15 minutes later a sudden disturbance breaks out outside the banquet hall

01:08:06the crowd moves towards the guest room

01:08:10as they get closer heavy breathing and a woman's desperate screams reach their ears

01:08:19anne's face drains of color what are you waiting for get that door down now

01:08:24a few strong servants step up and smash the door open inside the shocking scene unfolds for everyone to

01:08:31see jolene her hair mussy and clothes rumpled is pinned down by an unfamiliar man seeing the crowd

01:08:40at the doorway she breaks down in tears mom it was katherine she tricked me she planned all of this

01:08:50despite the accusations i don't flinch jolene where are you getting this from the maid ruined my dress

01:08:56and you sent her to fetch me some clothes but i waited ages and no one came so i left

01:09:01when i left

01:09:02the room was empty i have no idea how you ended up here how could you be so heartless jolene

01:09:09is your

01:09:10sister i was with miss flynn in the banquet hall the entire time many guests can vouch for that

01:09:16how can you stoop to such tactics regarding jolene we'll have a chance to question the man soon enough

01:09:27what happened today was a private family matter anyone who breathes a word of it will be making

01:09:32an enemy of the brown family anne grabs her trembling daughter and practically drags jolene out

01:09:37the man is also hauled away

01:09:45what a night you handled that like a pro

01:09:51it was simply responding to what she started if she had stayed in her lane none of this would

01:09:56have happened time after time jolene tried to set me up did she really think i was still the same

01:10:02katherine who'd just take it lying down what happened tonight she brought it on herself

01:10:09morning sunlight pours in through the large window casting soft highlights across his sharp jawline

01:10:15mr warren morning let's get started without hesitation he reaches for the buttons of his shirt and pulls

01:10:20it up exposing his bare chest i slip into professional mode pick up my medical kit and move to his

01:10:27side

01:10:28need a hand handling the browns my hands work with practiced confidence

01:10:34not right now i've got it covered once the session wraps up i'm packing away my tools

01:10:41when liam slowly pushes off the sofa he stands steady clear-headed you're healing well

01:10:48you're really skilled at this thanks keep this up and one more session and you'll be good as new

01:10:53once i'm fully better what do you want in exchange you've already paid for the treatments

01:10:58but if i ever need help down the road i hope you'll remember the understanding we have today

01:11:04sounds fair just then a knock comes at the door and a maid enters sir mr cassius warren has arrived

01:11:10his tone turns icy in an instant the smile that had just been there disappears completely

01:11:15tell him to wait for me in the living room when i enter the living room a man in a

01:11:19dark gray suit

01:11:20glances my way he appears to be in his 50s sharing some resemblance with liam

01:11:30our eyes lock for a moment i simply give a small nod and exit smoothly

01:11:38the intense almost threatening look from that middle-aged man has set off warning bells in my mind

01:11:46i let out a soft sigh i deliberately instruct my driver to take several detours just to make sure

01:11:53no one is tailing me before finally heading back to my apartment

01:12:00no sooner have i settled in than my phone rings it's sophia hey katherine got a minute there's this

01:12:33the building

01:12:40just as i step into the lobby ready to catch the elevator up i bump on jolene

01:12:54katherine what are you doing here so you're here for the gala you have an invitation i hope whose

01:13:01little lap dog are you running wild and barking at everyone without a care excuse me who exactly are

01:13:10you insulting listen katherine you can't just waltz into this kind of event wearing a

01:13:15dress without a real invite you'll end up humiliated when security shows you the door

01:13:22come on katherine ready to head up let's not keep the others waiting

01:13:37don't pay her any mind the organizers gave me two invitations this year

01:13:42i smile back appreciating sofia's subtle way of handling things

01:14:01everyone meet my friend katherine brown i hope you'll look out for her from now on this gala really

01:14:06is slipping apparently just anyone can walk in now some people really try too hard as if showing up

01:14:13here will magically upgrade their pleas in society watch your mouth katherine is a brown have some

01:14:20respect please don't be harsh my sister doesn't attend events like this often she's just here to get

01:14:26some exposure don't go snapping photos willy-nilly if i see you flooding social media with our images just to

01:14:33boost your status i won't hesitate to sue

01:14:45if you want to play dirty i'll give you a front row seat

01:14:49your status comes from flaunting fake jewelries

01:14:53and what would a country girl like you possibly understand about jewelry

01:14:58that's maris core an iconic design by divina gemma from the 60s centered around a rare cushion cut

01:15:05diamond framed by a dozen emeralds the real necklace was sold at last year's veritas auction for 36

01:15:11million dollars bought anonymously i have to admit you've got an eye for quality it is lovely

01:15:19i'll give you that but the issue is that yours isn't authentic yes the center stone is about the

01:15:24right size but it's missing the clarity a genuine one would have they look like fresh lab made pieces

01:15:29you're talking nonsense my father gave this to me for my birthday janice don't let my sister get to

01:15:35you she's been out of touch for years she probably hasn't even seen jewelry of this caliber it's easy for

01:15:41her to misjudge i stay calm shifting my gaze to the other woman's wrist your bracelet actually has

01:15:47decent translucency but it's been chemically treated and filled with resin wearing that too long isn't

01:15:53good for your health just so you know the woman snatches her hand back going pale

01:16:00i turn to jolene your necklace is no better jolene those diamonds look fake too

01:16:09jolene's fingers shoot toward her ear but stop halfway the whole hall goes completely still

01:16:15that was savage you nailed that comeback perfectly

01:16:22i take a sip from my glass and feel not a trace of guilt fake jewelry fine wear it quietly

01:16:29and no one

01:16:29will say a word but you had to step on me to feel taller so don't blame me for exposing

01:16:34your fake

01:16:35jewelry just you wait i'm calling in a top jewelry expert right now be my guest relax janice it's a

01:16:47beautiful day there's no need to let some petty nonsense spoil it petty this isn't just about me

01:16:53wearing a fake she's insulting the honor of the whole lopez family

01:17:08the craftsmanship is extraordinary but something is off

01:17:11the cut and the color don't match the authentic mariscore

01:17:17miss lopez i'm afraid this necklace is indeed a replica

01:17:22what that can't be the craftsmanship is exceptionally convincing almost flawless but as

01:17:29miss brown pointed out the cutting style and the emerald shade reveal subtle differences

01:17:33impressive eye miss brown only the most skilled experts can detect such subtle distinctions

01:17:38may i ask who has been your teacher my mentor is langston moore

01:17:44so you are the esteemed protege of mr moore an honor to meet you at last your championship at the

01:17:51last international competition was truly well deserved no wonder she spotted the fake so easily

01:17:56she's langston moore's student

01:18:00that's the world's top jewelry appraiser the lopez family really embarrassed themselves today

01:18:06i can't stay here i can't let them see me like this

01:18:18katherine when did you pick all this up you never said a word about it to any of us

01:18:25there's a lot you don't know mostly because you never bothered to ask

01:18:33katherine what have you done to jolaine now i don't know what you're talking about austin i've

01:18:36been sitting here all night and jolaine hasn't said a word to me and i'm not the one who's been

01:18:40sending her all those blue roses

01:18:44austin shouldn't you find out what really happened first it's katherine who got wrong today what about

01:18:48miss lopez how could you upset her and make her cry you're going to the lopez residence right now to

01:18:54apologize apologize for what telling the truth and exposing janice fake jewelry in front of everyone

01:19:01what nonsense miss lopez wouldn't be caught dead wearing fakes you're just making up lies to slander

01:19:07her mr brown miss brown's assessment is absolutely right this maurice core necklace is a very well

01:19:12made replica and her appraisal skills surpass even mine isn't austin being way too biased he's not even

01:19:18listening to the expert i heard the browns kicked out their own biological daughter to make room for

01:19:23that adopted girl jolene how ridiculous still you had no right to humiliate miss lopez like that in

01:19:29public our families have shared a close bond for generations did you ever stop to think about how

01:19:35damaging this could be for the brown group but what about when janus openly mocked me for being from

01:19:39the countryside when they all schemed together to humiliate me in front of everyone did anyone ever

01:19:43care how that felt have any of you truly treated me like family at all if not then i katherine

01:19:48and the browns are better off going our separate ways from this day forward sorry for the

01:19:53disruption and ruining everyone's good time i'll be taking my leave now

01:19:59the days passed quietly with nothing but my regular school routine and lab work

01:20:04jolene had kept an unusually low profile ever since the banquet not daring to provoke me again

01:20:14so many missed calls what's going on

01:20:20why are you answering aunt justina's phone what happened to her watch your tone with me you

01:20:25ungrateful brat i haven't even dealt with the mess you made thanks to you offending miss lopez the

01:20:30lopez group has just terminated all their cooperation with us you will find time to go to the lopez

01:20:34residence and apologize to miss lopez immediately keep dreaming you ungrateful little wolf if you refuse to

01:20:42listen to me are you planning to ignore your aunt's life and death situation too what happened to aunt

01:22:37angry dad's just worried about all those brown group shares katherine holds if she's not careful

01:23:17of your arrogance can you really bear the consequences can you live with that guilt then

01:24:39the countryside how could she possibly have connections to someone of dr zypha's caliber it

01:24:42must be a coincidence no it can't be she's just a worthless country girl how could she know dr zypha

01:24:50dad austin don't jump to conclusions it has to be a coincidence there's no way katherine has anything
