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

00:00:04Today, 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.

00:00:14Jolene!

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 storm inside.

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,

00:02:00and 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.

00:02:34Until it's fully out of my system,

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

00:02:39First,

00:02:40I 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!

00:03:33Do 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!

00:03:47It'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.

00:04:09I 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.

00:04:37Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:40All right.

00:04:41But I have two conditions.

00:04:42First, 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.

00:04:53But 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.

00:05:09A 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.

00:05:28I 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?

00:05:58Catherine, 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, Quietus.

00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the Darknet, the genius hacker Quietus.

00:06:38My phone rings.

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

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

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

00:06:45I'll line up the highest-paying jobs for you.

00:06:48Good.

00:06:48Oh, 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 him 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, what 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.

00:08:03What?

00:08:04I 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.

00:08:18I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction courses through you.

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.

00:08:33I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown, my 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, the 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?

00:08:57I've never seen her before.

00:09:00She's stunning.

00:09:01Is she from some notable family?

00:09:04I ignore the whispers.

00:09:05My 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 woman.

00:09:14But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.

00:09:18Austin freezes too.

00:09:19He 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.

00:09:40I let out a cold laugh.

00:09:43Brother?

00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers, did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:49Catherine.

00:09:52Is 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 didn'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.

00:10:18Who 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?

00:10:58Do 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.

00:11:09Excuse me.

00:11:15I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:19Did you catch that?

00:11:20Liam said it himself.

00:11:22She's with him.

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

00:11:28Wait.

00:11:30Catherine?

00:11:31Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth and brought back from some remote place?

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

00:12:12Priceless.

00:12:13But 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.

00:12:34Huh.

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.

00:12:51Going twice.

00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold, a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:12:5850 million.

00:12:5950 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, he 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.

00:13:36I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.

00:13:4150 million for a necklace.

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

00:13:46After the auction wraps up, I 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 of 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 and intentionally bumps onto me, splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:11Catherine, even if you dislike me, isn'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 and flick my wrist, sending the whole glass onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:34There.

00:14:34That's something I actually did.

00:14:36And I only take responsibility for my own actions.

00:14:40Jolene is stunned.

00:14:42Declan, Declan freezes.

00:14:44Seems 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.

00:15:03Whispers 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.

00:15:17A 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, I 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, I walk into the living area.

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

00:15:53Good morning.

00:15:56Morning.

00:15:58I head to the kitchen to prepare the herbal mix.

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

00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty who stunned everyone last night?

00:16:17That's Catherine Brown, my new personal doctor.

00:16:22You're serious?

00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough that I can't ignore it.

00:16:28Mr. Moreno, perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:31Your dark under eyes and shortness of breath suggest 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, I'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 many times before.

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

00:16:57Winred, maybe you ought to let Dr. 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.

00:17:06Right now, she's the one keeping me alive.

00:17:09He then turns to me.

00:17:10Can you really fix me?

00:17:15Yes.

00:17:1630 minutes later, I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up, exposing his toned chest.

00:17:26I pull out the silver needles and insert them with speed and precision.

00:17:34When the last needle is inserted, Liam's body shivers.

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

00:17:46What did you just do to him, Dr. Brown?

00:17:48How are you feeling now?

00:17:54I feel great.

00:17:56Lighter than I have in a long time.

00:17:58Don't let yourself get too stressed.

00:18:01And most importantly, you'll need to prioritize rest and abstinence.

00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.

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

00:18:10Winfred leans in and quietly asks if I can help with his health.

00:18:16I go back to my room and 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?

00:18:26Are 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.

00:18:40But if your health fails,

00:18:41no 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.

00:18:56I realize that for the sake of my own peace,

00:18:59cutting all connections with the Brown family is necessary.

00:19:03The mood in the living room is thick with tension.

00:19:10Look 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.

00:19:22Who I decide to be with is my own business.

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

00:19:29You're a Brown!

00:19:32Everything you do stains our family's name!

00:19:36Catherine, seriously,

00:19:38do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?

00:19:41Are you all finished?

00:19:43First, Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:47Second, even if there were something else,

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

00:19:51And don't forget that I am no longer part of your family.

00:19:55You said you cut ties,

00:19:57so give back the Brown group's shares.

00:20:02Those shares came from Grandpa.

00:20:05You don't have a single right to any of it.

00:20:08I pull out my phone and show them the screen.

00:20:11Since I stepped in,

00:20:12I've been recording all your insults,

00:20:15threats, and schemes to grab the shares.

00:20:17Keep pushing me,

00:20:18and I won't hesitate to hand this over to the press and the law.

00:20:24I put my phone away,

00:20:26feeling nothing.

00:20:28I used to put up with everything you threw at me.

00:20:32Now it's your turn to taste

00:20:33what it feels like to be on the other end of a threat.

00:20:39I leave the Brown family home and prepare to go back.

00:20:46Suddenly, a voice calls out.

00:20:48Catherine, is that really you?

00:20:49Where have you been hiding?

00:20:51I look at the woman before me.

00:20:54She's nearly 50.

00:20:56Her face lined with wrinkles.

00:20:58Her expression mean and petty.

00:21:00What do you want?

00:21:01You must have money if you're surviving this well.

00:21:04My son needs school fees,

00:21:06and you owe me half a million.

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

00:21:09I'll make a scene outside your place every single day.

00:21:12If you need cash,

00:21:14ask your real daughter, Jolene.

00:21:15I raised you all those years,

00:21:18so you should compensate me.

00:21:19You ungrateful brat.

00:21:22Stay out of my way.

00:21:23Otherwise, I won't hesitate to involve the police

00:21:26and reopening the case about 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 in panic.

00:21:38Just then,

00:21:39a sleek black Rolls Royce glides to a stop beside me.

00:21:44The window lowers.

00:21:45Revealing Liam's handsome 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 to catch a taxi here.

00:21:57I hesitate,

00:21:59but eventually get into the car.

00:22:01Bridget's appearance reminds me of one thing.

00:22:03The Brown family's troubles aren't over.

00:22:06That woman's greed is bottomless.

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

00:22:09But that's fine.

00:22:11I'm no longer that little girl who

00:22:13let others push her around.

00:22:16Anyone who wants to come after me

00:22:18had better think twice.

00:22:21On the weekend,

00:22:23Gerard asks to meet me at Harborview Genie,

00:22:26a popular restaurant.

00:22:31Catherine?

00:22:32I turn around,

00:22:33and my eyes fall on Jaleen,

00:22:35standing with the Browns and the Fultons.

00:22:38Did you hear we'd be here,

00:22:39and decide to show up just 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 cuts through the tension.

00:22:50Ms. Catherine Brown,

00:22:52you're here.

00:22:53Welcome.

00:22:53Please follow me.

00:22:55Everyone stares in shock

00:22:56as I walk toward the 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 from his seat.

00:23:12Catherine, you made it.

00:23:13Gerard tells me his uncle

00:23:15has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

00:23:16He says the required surgery

00:23:18carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:25Start with this medication.

00:23:27Come back in a week for a follow-up.

00:23:28We'll reassess then.

00:23:34Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:35I was sure you'd have a solution.

00:23:37After the meal,

00:23:39Gerard leans forward and asks

00:23:40if I need help with anything.

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

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

00:23:46But it must be extremely quiet and private,

00:23:49with top-tier security.

00:23:50I'll handle it.

00:23:51I'll find something perfect for you.

00:23:53Oh, and you're starting at Araylis University

00:23:54next 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 of some personal business.

00:24:06Campus life isn't a bad experience after all.

00:24:10The manager hands me an exclusive premium membership card,

00:24:14saying all my expenses here

00:24:16will be on the house from now on.

00:24:18I glance over at Gerard,

00:24:20and he breaks into a grin.

00:24:22Don't refuse it.

00:24:23This is our business,

00:24:25so just enjoy it.

00:24:28Fine.

00:24:30After being chased away from my private suite,

00:24:32Jolene drags herself to her family's box.

00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?

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

00:24:50I just stepped out to see who Catherine was 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 that way?

00:25:01That ungrateful girl!

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

00:25:06I saw it too.

00:25:08The manager was treating Catherine with a lot of respect.

00:25:12Yes.

00:25:13That man had an aura you can't fake.

00:25:16Catherine is clearly in the high circles.

00:25:18No wonder she's trying to distance herself from us.

00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.

00:25:32Who knows what kind of company she's keeping now?

00:25:36Jolene's heart swells with secret satisfaction.

00:25:39I have burned my bridges with the family for good.

00:25:42She is the Brown family's one and only daughter now.

00:25:47The dinner finally ends,

00:25:49and the two families part way at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:53When an unexpected grating voice rings out behind Jolene,

00:25:56she turn around and her smile freezes.

00:26:00It's her.

00:26:01Jolene!

00:26:03My dear daughter!

00:26:05Finally!

00:26:05I've found you!

00:26:07Her blood runs cold.

00:26:10Jolene,

00:26:11your younger brother needs money for school.

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

00:26:19I don't have time for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:22Take this,

00:26:23and never show your face around me again.

00:26:25Jolene,

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

00:26:27The tuition alone is a hundred thousand.

00:26:30Her hands tremble with unbridled rage.

00:26:32This wretched woman just won't know her place.

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

00:26:36My parents already paid you enough to cut ties all those years ago!

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

00:26:47I need to find a way to get rid of this problem for good.

00:26:50The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived.

00:26:53My first day reporting to Aurarius University.

00:27:09Jolene,

00:27:10is this your sister?

00:27:11Since when does Avelius University let random nobodies walk in?

00:27:14Well, isn't this a lovely coincidence, Jolene?

00:27:18Looks like we're going to be classmates.

00:27:20Classmates?

00:27:20You and me?

00:27:21Don't be ridiculous!

00:27:24The lecture bell chimes sharp and clear,

00:27:27and Professor Lambert Carter steps through the door.

00:27:30He's a living legend in the global medical field,

00:27:33the heart of this school's medical program.

00:27:35He turns to the class and poses an extremely complex,

00:27:39peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:43The entire lecture hall falls dead silent,

00:27:46not a single student daring to speak up.

00:27:51Young lady, please tell us what you think.

00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly,

00:27:56no trace of panic in my movements,

00:27:58and stand up.

00:27:59I lay out my analysis clearly and concisely,

00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,

00:28:04clinical data,

00:28:04and real surgical cases effortlessly.

00:28:09She's incredible!

00:28:10Total beauty and brains!

00:28:12Who even is she?

00:28:14Jolene's face burns with jealousy,

00:28:16her 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 with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:27Catherine, just a few days away,

00:28:30and suddenly you're the one catching everyone's attention.

00:28:33Jolene?

00:28:34She's probably pulling stunts she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:37Exactly!

00:28:38Everyone whispers she knows how to charm the right people.

00:28:42Is that all?

00:28:44Now, move aside, mutt.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:50Paige steps forward to push me.

00:28:53I'm not going to warn you twice.

00:28:55Hands to yourselves.

00:28:59Catherine!

00:29:00You can't just touch people like that!

00:29:02Jolene, keep your little gang in check.

00:29:05If they open their mouths like that again,

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

00:29:08Watch your tone.

00:29:09You're messing with the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:14The Brown family?

00:29:16That's your problem, not 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.

00:29:36You were out?

00:29:38Yeah.

00:29:40I stopped by Aurelius University to check in.

00:29:43Also took a look at a new place while I was out.

00:29:46You're moving out?

00:29:47Yeah.

00:29:48Staying here long term isn't practical.

00:29:50Your treatment has leveled out.

00:29:52It won't interfere with your progress.

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

00:29:55I offer the building and unit number of Sterling Haven

00:29:57without hesitation.

00:29:59Then I prepare a medicinal shower.

00:30:01The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:04The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:04A thin mist curling through the room.

00:30:08It's ready?

00:30:09Liam walks toward the treatment area,

00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt as he moves.

00:30:14His long fingers loosen the fabric,

00:30:17revealing toned muscles and defined contours.

00:30:22Take the pants off too.

00:30:27What's the matter?

00:30:28Feeling shy now?

00:30:30After some hesitation,

00:30:31Liam strips down to his briefs

00:30:33and eases himself into the steaming water.

00:30:36Though composed moments ago,

00:30:38my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:40It's not like this is the first time I'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 and a good body throw you off.

00:30:54The next day,

00:30:56I head to the lab to find Lambert.

00:30:59Perfect timing.

00:31:00I've been wrestling with this data all morning.

00:31:02Come check this out.

00:31:07The two of us slip effortlessly into a heated discussion.

00:31:19Professor Carter, sorry to interrupt,

00:31:21but there's something I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:23If you have something to say, just say it.

00:31:26Professor, I know you prize real skill,

00:31:29but Kathleen is not who you think she is.

00:31:32She never attended a proper university.

00:31:33How could she grasp complex medical research?

00:31:36I'm afraid you're being deceived.

00:31:38Enough!

00:31:39Jolene,

00:31:40I don't know what you're trying to do with these accusations,

00:31:43but I've seen enough to know true talent

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

00:31:47Catherine identified the error the moment she looked at it.

00:31:49Most PhD candidates wouldn't even catch this mistake

00:31:52the first time around.

00:31:54Tell me,

00:31:54how could anyone possibly fake that level of understanding?

00:32:03Professor Carter,

00:32:04I...

00:32:04I know true talent when I see it.

00:32:07I don't need your commentary.

00:32:09Now,

00:32:10please step outside.

00:32:13I...

00:32:19In that moment,

00:32:20I knew I'd found someone who saw me,

00:32:23not the lies they spread about me.

00:32:32Hey,

00:32:33I'm Catherine Brown.

00:32:35Just as I walked into the classroom and took my seat,

00:32:38I noticed the girl next to me,

00:32:40her cheek marked by 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 by pure chance,

00:32:55and the other...

00:32:56Well,

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

00:32:58The snickling spread through the classroom in an instant.

00:33:01Every gaze nailed onto 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 thinks the world of Catherine.

00:33:12So she's really riding Professor Carter's coattails to 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 same as Jolene's.

00:33:23Come on,

00:33:23Catherine,

00:33:24you actually showed up wearing fake shoes?

00:33:26That's bold.

00:33:30Still,

00:33:31it's embarrassing as hell.

00:33:38All eyes in that instant were pinned on my feet.

00:33:43I feel like being judged in a high society party.

00:33:47The murmur in the room quickly grows into a loud buzz.

00:33:52Most of them were convinced the shoes on my feet were fake.

00:33:56Hey,

00:33:57Catherine,

00:33:57if you like those shoes,

00:33:59I don't mind lending you mine.

00:34:00Wearing fakes is bad.

00:34:03Thanks,

00:34:04but I'm pretty selective.

00:34:06I don't wear other people's shoes.

00:34:08Besides,

00:34:09we still don't actually know who's rocking the fakes,

00:34:12do we?

00:34:14I slowed my movements deliberately,

00:34:16lifted my foot,

00:34:17and aimed the heel straight at the crowd.

00:34:20Is that real?

00:34:22Of course.

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

00:34:24Every pair designed by Futures Lead Designer,

00:34:27Alan Lewis,

00:34:28comes with a unique serial number

00:34:31and the designer's initials.

00:34:33AL engraved on the inside heel.

00:34:36It can't be,

00:34:36but it is.

00:34:41Jolene,

00:34:42why don't you have a look inside your own heel?

00:34:45I'm not scared!

00:34:46She raises her foot

00:34:47and turns the inside of the heel toward everyone.

00:34:49It's empty.

00:34:54Impossible!

00:34:55My shoes are real!

00:34:56The marks are just worn down from use!

00:34:59You can barely see it now!

00:35:01Oh, really?

00:35:02Futures Anti-Counterfeit System

00:35:04is one of the most advanced in the world.

00:35:06Unless the shoes are completely wrecked,

00:35:08the serial number doesn'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 just made a mistake!

00:35:17You wanted to embarrass me in front of everyone?

00:35:20Jolene,

00:35:21you seem to forget.

00:35:22What I do best

00:35:23is tear apart cheap facades like yours.

00:35:26After school,

00:35:27Jolene storms out of campus,

00:35:29fuming.

00:35:30Austin is there to pick her up.

00:35:36Jolene,

00:35:37what's going on?

00:35:38Did someone mess with you?

00:35:39Austin!

00:35:40Those limited edition shoes you got for me?

00:35:44Catherine showed up wearing the exact same pair

00:35:47and accused mine of being fake.

00:35:50Showtime.

00:35:57Catherine,

00:35:58wait!

00:36:03What gives you the right

00:36:04to accuse Jolene's shoes

00:36:06of be fake?

00:36:11Just take the shoes

00:36:12to the store for verification.

00:36:14Verify them?

00:36:15Who do you think you are?

00:36:18Who do you think you are?

00:36:24Lucky for me,

00:36:26Future's Black Gold members

00:36:27get priority verification.

00:36:30The Future Black Card?

00:36:32How the hell does she have that?

00:36:34Austin,

00:36:35let's just get this over with!

00:36:42No, forget it.

00:36:43This isn't worth the headache.

00:36:44Let'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.

00:37:17Is everything alright?

00:37:20Mr. Warren,

00:37:21it's nothing serious.

00:37:23Catherine just insisted

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

00:37:29Do you need any help?

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

00:37:32Nothing to worry about.

00:37:34Mr. Warren,

00:37:36this is a private family 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 always end up

00:37:59rubbing the heel raw.

00:38:01You might want to change yours.

00:38:11I feel a quiet thrill of satisfaction.

00:38:14You thought you could humiliate me

00:38:15with fake shoes?

00:38:16Look how that backfired.

00:38:19Back in the Brown family,

00:38:21I always had to bite my tongue

00:38:23and step aside.

00:38:25Now,

00:38:25with Liam backing me up,

00:38:28I have nothing to fear.

00:38:39The next afternoon,

00:38:41I wheel a small suitcase

00:38:43to my new home,

00:38:44Sterling Haven.

00:38:45Just as I step out of the car,

00:38:48Catherine?

00:38:49a familiar voice

00:38:50calls out behind me.

00:38:52I turn and see

00:38:53Declan and Jolene

00:38:54standing not far away.

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

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

00:39:01Catherine,

00:39:01why are you hauling

00:39:03a suitcase here?

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

00:39:05gotten the wrong place?

00:39:06This is Sterling Haven.

00:39:08If you don't want

00:39:09the security guards

00:39:10kicking you out,

00:39:10you better leave.

00:39:12I live here.

00:39:13So yeah,

00:39:14I'm pretty sure

00:39:14I know my own address.

00:39:15Your 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?

00:39:26Are you here to apply

00:39:28for janitor

00:39:28or security jobs?

00:39:30Declan and I are here

00:39:31looking for a place

00:39:32to settle down.

00:39:34Our wedding apartment,

00:39:35actually.

00:39:36I calmly reach into my bag

00:39:39and pull out

00:39:39an access card,

00:39:43tapping it against the reader.

00:39:47A beep confirms access.

00:39:51Declan and Jolene

00:39:53freeze in shock.

00:39:57Just moved into

00:39:58Sterling Haven

00:39:59and the silence of 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?

00:40:08Who's racing?

00:40:10The same arrogant group

00:40:12of wealthy young men.

00:40:13They've been throwing

00:40:14challenges at Evora.

00:40:17Oh,

00:40:18and the Brown family

00:40:19will 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

00:40:40in the suburb.

00:40:56I sign that name.

00:40:57The one they both dread

00:40:59and go mad over.

00:41:04Oh,

00:41:05it's Evora!

00:41:06Our idol

00:41:07Evora

00:41:08has arrived!

00:41:11Evora?

00:41:12It's probably just

00:41:13someone pretending.

00:41:18she wouldn't show up

00:41:19for a small race

00:41:20like this.

00:41:28Just then,

00:41:29that flashy blue

00:41:31GT-R

00:41:31pulled up

00:41:32right in front of me.

00:41:36Catherine?

00:41:37What 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 touch me.

00:42:09Laying hands on someone

00:42:11in public?

00:42:11That'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 Catherine again,

00:42:22you'll regret it.

00:42:26We'll settle this

00:42:27on the race course.

00:42:29Hopefully,

00:42:29you don't crash out

00:42:30in the first round.

00:42:33The signal light blinks on

00:42:34and the five engines

00:42:36roar to life.

00:42:37The green light flashes

00:42:38and Jackson's GT-R

00:42:39shoots forward.

00:42:40At the first corner,

00:42:41I execute a drift

00:42:42unlike 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

00:42:56them 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

00:43:13the finish line first.

00:43:27I push open the door

00:43:29and pull off my 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...

00:43:48You're really Yvera?

00:43:54Tell me,

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

00:43:59So you were tricking us

00:44:00this whole time?

00:44:01On the day I returned,

00:44:03I told all of you

00:44:04I liked racing.

00:44:06But not a single one of you

00:44:07ever bothered to listen.

00:44:11I step around Jackson

00:44:12and walk off

00:44:13without looking back.

00:44:18I never wanted to

00:44:19flaunt being Yvera.

00:44:22But since you kept pushing,

00:44:23now you get to see

00:44:24who 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 to see this.

00:44:59I swear it'll

00:45:00knock you sideways.

00:45:01Please.

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 of real shock

00:45:19cross his eyes.

00:45:21It's her.

00:45:26Okay, I'm genuinely blown away.

00:45:29Liam, what kind of divine helper

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

00:45:32This woman is pure magic.

00:45:34Told you.

00:45:34I knew even Liam

00:45:36couldn't stay calm after this.

00:45:53Catherine,

00:45:55just how much are you still hiding?

00:46:01The next day,

00:46:03I walk into the classroom.

00:46:06Catherine,

00:46:07I got you your favorite coffee.

00:46:08I smile and pull out

00:46:10a delicate porcelain bottle

00:46:11from my bag.

00:46:13Apply this ointment

00:46:14to the spot before bed.

00:46:17You should see results

00:46:18in about a month.

00:46:19Thank you so much, Catherine.

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.

00:46:26I'm confident it'll heal.

00:46:31Seriously?

00:46:32You actually think

00:46:33a homemade cream

00:46:34will magically make you beautiful?

00:46:36My eyes darken

00:46:37as I fix Paige

00:46:38with a piercing stare.

00:46:40Apologize.

00:46:42Why should I apologize?

00:46:43I'm just speaking the truth.

00:46:46Catherine,

00:46:47Paige can be a bit blunt.

00:46:49She didn't mean to be hurtful.

00:46:51Paige was only trying to warn you.

00:46:53The ointments you're handing out

00:46:55aren't officially approved.

00:46:56If Claudian's condition gets worse,

00:47:00that could cause a big problem.

00:47:02It's to heal,

00:47:03not harm.

00:47:04Why do you jump to conclusions

00:47:06without a shred of proof?

00:47:11Tell me,

00:47:12have you ever actually tested

00:47:14these ointments yourself?

00:47:15Claudian,

00:47:16use your ointment

00:47:17without any worries.

00:47:18If anything happens,

00:47:20I will take full 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 day wraps up,

00:47:35rain suddenly begins

00:47:36pouring down in heavy sheets.

00:47:38I had anticipated this,

00:47:40so an umbrella

00:47:40is tucked safely in my bag.

00:47:42Pulling it out,

00:47:43I open it

00:47:44and step out

00:47:44into the downpour.

00:47:47Catherine,

00:47:47wait!

00:47:48Can I share your umbrella

00:47:49with you?

00:47:50No.

00:47:51I turn around

00:47:53and see Jolene

00:47:53huddled beneath my umbrella.

00:47:56Without another word,

00:47:58I turn and walk away.

00:48:00Before long,

00:48:01the rain soaks her

00:48:02to 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

00:48:26rolls to a slow stop

00:48:28at the gate.

00:48:28It's Austin's.

00:48:33Austin!

00:48:36Jolene?

00:48:37How did you get

00:48:37this 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

00:48:42just in time

00:48:43to see me

00:48:44walking 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.

00:49:05You had an umbrella

00:49:06and didn't even

00:49:07think to help her?

00:49:11Do you have any idea

00:49:12how cruel that looks?

00:49:13Exactly!

00:49:14Jolene soaked

00:49:15because Catherine

00:49:16abandoned her.

00:49:17She went way too far!

00:49:18Before I speak,

00:49:20a nearby student

00:49:21steps in.

00:49:22Please.

00:49:22I saw Jolene

00:49:23give her umbrella

00:49:23to someone else

00:49:24just to 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

00:49:29guilt trip her.

00:49:31So what?

00:49:32The rain was pouring.

00:49:34Sharing wouldn't kill 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

00:49:40umbrella away

00:49:41just to look generous.

00:49:42Austin,

00:49:43that's not what happened.

00:49:45I only wanted

00:49:45to get closer to her.

00:49:47I didn't realize

00:49:48she disliked me so much.

00:49:50Keep your little

00:49:51performances away from me.

00:49:52Don't test me.

00:50:06In the classroom,

00:50:07I sit quietly at my desk,

00:50:09flipping through my notes.

00:50:10Catherine,

00:50:11I heard Jolene's

00:50:11really sick today.

00:50:12She didn't come to class.

00:50:13Rain and cold,

00:50:14it's pretty normal

00:50:15to feel under

00:50:15the weather afterward.

00:50:16A loud commotion

00:50:17erupts at the

00:50:18classroom entrance.

00:50:20Feel satisfied now,

00:50:21Catherine?

00:50:22Jolene's in the hospital

00:50:23with a high fever,

00:50:24all because you wouldn't

00:50:25share your stupid umbrella.

00:50:26I calmly shut my notebook

00:50:27and rise to my feet.

00:50:29A chilly,

00:50:31razor-thin smile

00:50:32forms on my lips.

00:50:33She's sick,

00:50:34and that's supposed

00:50:35to be my responsibility?

00:50:37Is this seriously

00:50:38your reaction?

00:50:39Jolene's hospitalized,

00:50:40and you're standing here

00:50:41tossing out sarcastic comments?

00:50:42And what exactly

00:50:43does her hospital stale

00:50:44have to do with me?

00:50:45Did I make her give away

00:50:46her umbrella?

00:50:47Or did I physically

00:50:48send her into the storm?

00:50:49You!

00:50:50And honestly,

00:50:51if she were sick enough

00:50:52to be hospitalized,

00:50:53would she really have

00:50:54the energy to publicize

00:50:55it to the entire school?

00:50:57I-I asked her personally.

00:50:59Great.

00:51:00Tell me which hospital

00:51:01she's at.

00:51:02I'll arrange for

00:51:03top clear specialists

00:51:04to check on her.

00:51:05I begin dialing,

00:51:07and Paige immediately

00:51:08panics.

00:51:09No!

00:51:10You don't have to do that!

00:51:11Jolene said

00:51:12she only needs rest.

00:51:16How did you figure out

00:51:17she was faking?

00:51:19I've watched her

00:51:19pull the same act

00:51:20more times

00:51:21than I can count.

00:51:23On the weekend,

00:51:24Claudian asks me

00:51:26to go shopping

00:51:26with her.

00:51:28We pause

00:51:29in front of

00:51:29dessert shop,

00:51:31across from

00:51:32a famous brand boutique.

00:51:33Jolene is there too.

00:51:38Oh, look who it is,

00:51:39Catherine!

00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!

00:51:41Shopping too, huh?

00:51:43What's the matter?

00:51:44Didn't expect to see you

00:51:45in a place like this?

00:51:46This isn't some place

00:51:47for just anyone.

00:51:49Bet that ice cream

00:51:50cost you half a day's wages?

00:51:52Jolene steps forward

00:51:53and accidentally

00:51:54splashes her coffee

00:51:55onto my white dress.

00:51:58Oh no, Catherine!

00:51:59I'm so sorry!

00:52:00I tripped!

00:52:01I didn't mean to!

00:52:03I look down

00:52:04at the stains

00:52:04on my dress.

00:52:05My eyes turning cold.

00:52:11Do you even know

00:52:11how much this dress costs?

00:52:13It's just a dress.

00:52:14I can buy you

00:52:15a new one.

00:52:18She pulls

00:52:19$200

00:52:19and tosses

00:52:21them at me.

00:52:23Use this

00:52:23to get yourself

00:52:24a new one.

00:52:25I look at

00:52:26the ice cream

00:52:26in my hand

00:52:32and press it

00:52:33onto Jolene's face.

00:52:36Oops!

00:52:37Sorry!

00:52:38My hand just slipped.

00:52:39It's just a little mess.

00:52:41A quick wipe

00:52:42and you'll be fine.

00:52:43Jolene screams.

00:52:45AHHHHH!

00:53:02AHHHHH!

00:53:03Mom,

00:53:04it's all my fault.

00:53:05I accidentally

00:53:06spilled coffee

00:53:07on Catherine's dress.

00:53:09I've already

00:53:10paid her back

00:53:11but she's acting

00:53:12like it's not enough.

00:53:18Catherine,

00:53:19why are you

00:53:20picking on Jolene again?

00:53:23Anne pulls a thick

00:53:25wad of cash

00:53:25from her purse.

00:53:28Catherine,

00:53:29don't push this further.

00:53:30If it's money

00:53:31you want,

00:53:31apologize to Jolene.

00:53:33Not nearly enough.

00:53:36Yes,

00:53:37this is our

00:53:38anniversary edition.

00:53:39It retails

00:53:39for $180,000

00:53:41and is completely

00:53:42sold out.

00:53:43Either pay me

00:53:44three times

00:53:44its value

00:53:45or I'll report

00:53:46this

00:53:47as intentional

00:53:48property damage

00:53:49to the police.

00:53:50Who said

00:53:51we wouldn't compensate?

00:53:52She reluctantly

00:53:53writes a check.

00:53:56Take it.

00:53:57This is like

00:53:58burning money.

00:53:59Next time

00:54:00I won't bother

00:54:01negotiating.

00:54:02I'll go straight

00:54:02to the police.

00:54:04I feel a deep

00:54:04satisfying pleasure.

00:54:06$540,000

00:54:07that's going to

00:54:08sting for a while.

00:54:09Back in the

00:54:10Brown family

00:54:11I let you

00:54:11walk all over me.

00:54:13I swallowed

00:54:13every insult.

00:54:15Not anymore.

00:54:16From now on

00:54:17every single debt

00:54:18gets paid back

00:54:19with interest.

00:54:20After the meal

00:54:21I wave goodbye

00:54:22to Claudian

00:54:23at the restaurant's

00:54:23entrance.

00:54:28I've only

00:54:29walked a short

00:54:30distance

00:54:30when a terrified

00:54:31scream cuts

00:54:32through the air.

00:54:35Someone help!

00:54:36Is there a doctor

00:54:37here?

00:54:38I turn towards

00:54:38the commotion

00:54:39and see a well-dressed

00:54:40woman kneeling

00:54:41beside an elderly

00:54:42woman who has

00:54:43collapsed.

00:54:44Wake up!

00:54:45I push through

00:54:45the crowd

00:54:46and kneel down

00:54:46to examine her.

00:54:51Ma'am,

00:54:52don't panic.

00:54:53Does she have

00:54:54a history

00:54:54of heart disease?

00:54:55Yes.

00:54:56She has

00:54:57coronary heart disease.

00:55:00I reach

00:55:01into my bag

00:55:02and pull out

00:55:03a small bottle

00:55:04of nitroglycerin

00:55:05pills.

00:55:06I slide a tablet

00:55:07under her tongue

00:55:08and begin CPR.

00:55:10CPR.

00:55:12CPR.

00:55:13CPR.

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.

00:55:31Very professional.

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

00:55:45a student.

00:55:46Helping people

00:55:46is just

00:55:47something I

00:55:47have to

00:55:47do.

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,

00:56:00I intentionally

00:56:01leave home

00:56:02early,

00:56:02but the

00:56:03Browns are

00:56:03already lying

00:56:04in wait

00:56:04at the

00:56:05school entrance.

00:56:07Catherine!

00:56:10Jolene plunges

00:56:11to hug me,

00:56:12but I smoothly

00:56:13dodge her.

00:56:14Catherine,

00:56:15come home

00:56:16with 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

00:56:24you 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

00:56:32busiest time for

00:56:33students arriving,

00:56:35a bunch of

00:56:35curious students

00:56:36have already

00:56:37stopped to

00:56:37watch.

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

00:56:48contoured face

00:56:48comes into

00:56:49view.

00:56:52Catherine,

00:56:53get in the

00:56:53car.

00:56:59I've got

00:56:59class in a few

00:57:00minutes.

00:57:01What brings you

00:57:01here so early?

00:57:04They didn't

00:57:05bother you,

00:57:05did they?

00:57:06No.

00:57:07They're

00:57:07irrelevant.

00:57:08I'm heading

00:57:09in.

00:57:12And without

00:57:13waiting for his

00:57:13response,

00:57:14I simply turn

00:57:15and leave.

00:57:19The browns

00:57:20erupt the

00:57:20moment I

00:57:21brush past

00:57:21them like

00:57:22they're

00:57:22strangers on

00:57:23the street.

00:57:23Are we

00:57:24seriously

00:57:24letting that

00:57:25girl walk

00:57:26all over

00:57:26us?

00:57:27She might

00:57:28ignore us,

00:57:29but someone

00:57:30else can get

00:57:30through to her.

00:57:31She won't

00:57:32dare skip her

00:57:32grandmother's

00:57:33birthday banquet.

00:57:36She'll show

00:57:37up for that.

00:57:38After my

00:57:39classes wrap

00:57:39up, I head

00:57:40home, ready

00:57:41to relax, until

00:57:42my phone starts

00:57:43buzzing in my

00:57:43pocket.

00:57:47Catherine, I'm

00:57:48sending you an

00:57:49address, come

00:57:49eat with us.

00:57:50They've got all

00:57:51your favorites, and

00:57:52there's a surprise

00:57:53for you, too.

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

00:58:04doors slide

00:58:05open, and I

00:58:05walk out, my

00:58:06eyes glued to

00:58:07my phone.

00:58:10Before I can

00:58:10take two steps, a

00:58:12hand suddenly

00:58:12pulls me aside.

00:58:14So this is who

00:58:15you really are.

00:58:16Waiting all this

00:58:17time just to

00:58:17pull this?

00:58:18You followed

00:58:19me here?

00:58:19Declan, of

00:58:21course.

00:58:22What?

00:58:23Touched a

00:58:23nerve?

00:58:24You show up

00:58:25where I hang

00:58:25out, hoping

00:58:26I'll notice

00:58:26you again?

00:58:28Catherine, you

00:58:29really haven't

00:58:29changed.

00:58:30Still using the

00:58:31same desperate

00:58:32tricks.

00:58:32Isn't she that

00:58:33Brown family

00:58:33daughter?

00:58:34The one they

00:58:34recently reclaimed?

00:58:35Yep.

00:58:36Looks like she's

00:58:36still running

00:58:37after Declan

00:58:37like always.

00:58:38Declan, drop

00:58:38the ego.

00:58:39I'm here for

00:58:39someone else.

00:58:40You don't

00:58:40even make

00:58:40the top

00:58:41hundred.

00:58:41Stop acting

00:58:42like the world

00:58:42revolves around

00:58:43you.

00:58:45Aha, so I

00:58:46got to you.

00:58:47That's why

00:58:47you're biting

00:58:48back?

00:58:49Do me a favor

00:58:50and stay away.

00:58:51I don't want

00:58:51anyone assuming

00:58:52we have

00:58:52this.

00:58:55I stride

00:58:56toward the

00:58:56highest-tier

00:58:57private

00:58:57suite

00:58:58without

00:58:58looking

00:58:58back.

00:59:07Whoa, what

00:59:08happened to

00:59:09you?

00:59:12I'm fine.

00:59:22Catherine, wait

00:59:24till you see

00:59:24this.

00:59:35Hold on.

00:59:36Is that...

00:59:37Yep.

00:59:38The one from

00:59:39the Veritas

00:59:39auction last

00:59:40month.

00:59:40You kept

00:59:41staring at

00:59:41it, so I

00:59:42figured I'd

00:59:43just buy the

00:59:43damn thing

00:59:44for you.

00:59:45Thanks,

00:59:45Gerald.

00:59:46Hey, don't

00:59:47go formal

00:59:48on me.

00:59:49Something like

00:59:50this deserves

00:59:50an owner who

00:59:51actually gets

00:59:52it.

01:00:18Catherine, I

01:00:19heard you

01:00:20moved out.

01:00:21Did something

01:00:21happen?

01:00:22did the

01:00:22Browns push

01:00:23you too

01:00:23far again?

01:00:24I'm fine,

01:00:25Auntie.

01:00:26I left on

01:00:26my own

01:00:26terms.

01:00:28Your

01:00:28grandmother

01:00:28returned.

01:00:30You heard?

01:00:31Her birthday

01:00:32banquet is next

01:00:33week.

01:00:34She actually

01:00:35called me

01:00:35earlier and

01:00:36told me to

01:00:36ask you to

01:00:37come.

01:00:38Auntie, I'm

01:00:39no longer part

01:00:40of the Brown

01:00:41family.

01:00:42Catherine,

01:00:43please.

01:00:43She's getting

01:00:44older.

01:00:45Just give her

01:00:46this one

01:00:46courtesy.

01:00:48All right.

01:00:49I'll show

01:00:50up on time.

01:00:51I exhale

01:00:51slowly, so

01:00:52this is

01:00:53happening.

01:00:53No dodging

01:00:54it now.

01:00:55My eyes

01:00:55move back

01:00:56to the

01:00:56gemstone

01:00:56in its

01:00:57wooden

01:00:57box.

01:00:57It would

01:00:58make a

01:00:58clean,

01:00:59elegant

01:00:59birthday

01:00:59gift.

01:01:01The night

01:01:02of Analia's

01:01:02birthday banquet

01:01:03has come.

01:01:04The brown

01:01:04estate glows

01:01:05with extravagant

01:01:06decorations.

01:01:10I stroll

01:01:11in wearing

01:01:11simple,

01:01:12casual

01:01:12clothes.

01:01:13Jolene

01:01:14drifts

01:01:15the

01:01:18Low

01:01:22I

01:01:22look.

01:01:23Lawrence's

01:01:24and Anna's

01:01:24expressions

01:01:25grow cold

01:01:26and tense.

01:01:27Isn't that

01:01:27the one

01:01:28who broke

01:01:28ties with

01:01:28the Browns

01:01:29and she

01:01:34Wild

01:01:35or not,

01:01:36she's

01:01:36stunning.

01:01:38Those

01:01:39sharp

01:01:39features

01:01:40and that

01:01:40presence

01:01:40can't be

01:01:41ignored.

01:01:42Jolene

01:01:42steps

01:01:43forward,

01:01:44her

01:01:44smile

01:01:44dazzling

01:01:45and

01:01:45perfectly

01:01:45practiced.

01:01:47Grandma,

01:01:47happy

01:01:48birthday!

01:01:49I know

01:01:49how much

01:01:50you adore

01:01:50gemstones,

01:01:51so I

01:01:52asked the

01:01:52auction house

01:01:53to find

01:01:53something

01:01:53really special

01:01:54for you,

01:01:54a rare

01:01:55warm gem.

01:02:00And you,

01:02:01Catherine?

01:02:02What did

01:02:03you bring?

01:02:04I reach

01:02:05into my

01:02:05black bag

01:02:06and pull

01:02:06out a

01:02:07small wooden

01:02:07box.

01:02:09As I

01:02:10open the

01:02:10lid,

01:02:11the room

01:02:11falls

01:02:12deathly

01:02:12silent.

01:02:14Nestled

01:02:14inside

01:02:15is another

01:02:15gemstone.

01:02:17Huh?

01:02:19To give

01:02:20grandma a

01:02:20fake?

01:02:21That's just

01:02:22disrespectful.

01:02:23Catherine?

01:02:24Fake?

01:02:25Catherine,

01:02:26don't you

01:02:27realize how

01:02:27humiliating

01:02:28this is for

01:02:29our family?

01:02:31Amid the

01:02:32crowd's

01:02:32murmurs

01:02:33and accusations,

01:02:33I stay

01:02:34composed.

01:02:35closed.

01:02:41You say

01:02:42mine's a

01:02:43fake?

01:02:43On what

01:02:43proof?

01:02:44Maybe yours

01:02:45is the

01:02:46counterfeit.

01:02:46Isn't it

01:02:47obvious?

01:02:48This gem

01:02:49is incredibly

01:02:50rare.

01:02:51There can't

01:02:52be two

01:02:52exactly the

01:02:53same.

01:02:56Mine's been

01:02:57authenticated by

01:02:58several experts.

01:03:00It's the real

01:03:01deal.

01:03:01A knowing

01:03:02smile curves

01:03:03my lips

01:03:03as I bring

01:03:04my gem up

01:03:05and lightly

01:03:06press it

01:03:06against an

01:03:07Aaliyah's

01:03:07wrist.

01:03:09This is it!

01:03:11They say a

01:03:12genuine warm

01:03:12gem changes

01:03:13color depending

01:03:14on its wearer's

01:03:14vitality.

01:03:15It's a unique,

01:03:16almost magical

01:03:17trait.

01:03:19Why don't we

01:03:19test Jolene's

01:03:20gem the same

01:03:21way?

01:03:23She tried to

01:03:24pin it on

01:03:24Catherine when

01:03:25it was her

01:03:25own gift

01:03:26that was

01:03:26false.

01:03:27That's

01:03:27impossible!

01:03:28I paid

01:03:28ten million

01:03:29for this

01:03:29at the

01:03:30luxurious

01:03:30auction

01:03:31house!

01:03:31I even

01:03:32have the

01:03:32receipt and

01:03:33certificate to

01:03:34prove it!

01:03:34Pulling out

01:03:35her phone,

01:03:35she quickly

01:03:36dials the

01:03:37number.

01:03:37What she

01:03:37hears makes

01:03:38her eyes

01:03:38widened in

01:03:39shock.

01:03:40Just then,

01:03:41someone glances

01:03:41at their phone

01:03:42and blurts out,

01:03:43The luxurious

01:03:43auction house

01:03:44director got

01:03:45hooked on

01:03:45gambling!

01:03:48Jolene

01:03:48stumbles

01:03:49backward,

01:03:49dropping her

01:03:50phone with a

01:03:51loud clatter.

01:03:52Today is my

01:03:53birthday celebration.

01:03:54Let's put an

01:03:55end to this

01:03:55now.

01:03:56Jolene acted

01:03:57with good

01:03:57intentions but

01:03:58was misled.

01:03:59For the very

01:04:00first time,

01:04:01Anala looks at

01:04:02me without that

01:04:03usual air of

01:04:04disappointment.

01:04:07You know,

01:04:08Catherine,

01:04:08I actually like

01:04:10this.

01:04:14Jolene bites

01:04:15down hard on

01:04:16her lower lip,

01:04:17her nails digging

01:04:18into her palm.

01:04:19Justine approaches

01:04:20me.

01:04:22Catherine,

01:04:24I'm sorry about

01:04:25everything that

01:04:25went down

01:04:26earlier.

01:04:27I'm okay.

01:04:29You only

01:04:29stop feeling

01:04:30hurt when you

01:04:31stop expecting

01:04:31anything from

01:04:32anyone.

01:04:34Not long

01:04:35after,

01:04:36friends call

01:04:37Justina away.

01:04:38A maid makes

01:04:40her way around,

01:04:40offering champagne.

01:04:41When she gets

01:04:42to me,

01:04:43I decline.

01:04:45The maid

01:04:46hurries away

01:04:46and comes back

01:04:47moments later,

01:04:48holding a glass

01:04:49of juice.

01:04:50I study the

01:04:51juice for a

01:04:52moment.

01:04:52I lift the

01:04:53glass and

01:04:53drink it down

01:04:54in one steady

01:04:55guilt.

01:04:55A few minutes

01:04:56pass before the

01:04:57same maid shows

01:04:58up again.

01:05:00I'm so,

01:05:01so sorry.

01:05:01I didn't mean

01:05:02for this to

01:05:03happen.

01:05:04She slips,

01:05:04and the entire

01:05:06drink splashes

01:05:07across my

01:05:07outfit.

01:05:09Catherine,

01:05:10I'm really

01:05:10sorry.

01:05:11The staff can

01:05:11be a bit

01:05:11careless.

01:05:12Why don't

01:05:13you slip

01:05:13into one of

01:05:13my dresses?

01:05:14I've got

01:05:14tons upstairs.

01:05:15You can use

01:05:15the guest room

01:05:16to change.

01:05:16Wow.

01:05:17The rules in

01:05:17this house are

01:05:18intriguing,

01:05:19to say the

01:05:19least.

01:05:19I hear every

01:05:20bit of the

01:05:21sarcasm.

01:05:22Sophia is

01:05:22practically mocking

01:05:23Jolene, who

01:05:24acts like she

01:05:25owns the place.

01:05:26The maid exhales,

01:05:27relieved beyond

01:05:28measure, and

01:05:29hurries forward.

01:05:30I start after

01:05:30her, but pause

01:05:31to throw Jolene

01:05:32one last look.

01:05:34The maid leads

01:05:35me far inside

01:05:35the mansion, to

01:05:37a guest room.

01:05:38As soon as she

01:05:38leaves, the door

01:05:39shuts quietly, and

01:05:41I hear the lock

01:05:42slide into place.

01:05:44I go over to

01:05:45check the window,

01:05:46but it's stuck

01:05:47tight, probably

01:05:48locked from the

01:05:49outside.

01:05:50A strange

01:05:51warmth begins

01:05:52spreading under

01:05:52my skin.

01:05:53I take a steady

01:05:54breath, pull a

01:05:55small ceramic

01:05:56file from my

01:05:57pocket, and

01:05:58swallow an

01:05:59antidote.

01:06:00I had drunk

01:06:01the tampered

01:06:01juice simply

01:06:02because I wanted

01:06:03to see the full

01:06:04extent of

01:06:04Jolene's trap.

01:06:09A few moments

01:06:10later, I hear

01:06:12faint, uneven

01:06:13footsteps outside

01:06:14the door.

01:06:15I lay down on

01:06:16the bed, completely

01:06:17still and quiet.

01:06:19The door creaks

01:06:20open slowly.

01:06:24Getting impatient,

01:06:26huh?

01:06:26Don't worry,

01:06:27sweetheart.

01:06:28I'll take real

01:06:29good care of you.

01:06:31But suddenly, my

01:06:32eyes snap wide

01:06:33open.

01:06:36The scream tears

01:06:37from him.

01:06:38He crumples to the

01:06:39floor in an instant,

01:06:41folding over and

01:06:43wrigling on the

01:06:43carpet.

01:06:45I calmly step

01:06:46over him and

01:06:47shut the door

01:06:47behind me.

01:06:48I ease into the

01:06:49corner just outside,

01:06:50ready to watch.

01:06:52Not long after,

01:06:53Jolene appears,

01:06:55sneaking cautiously

01:06:56down the hall.

01:06:58She presses her

01:07:00ear against the

01:07:00door, then pulls

01:07:02it wide open.

01:07:11She barely has

01:07:12time to

01:07:13register it

01:07:13before the

01:07:14man lunges at

01:07:15her.

01:07:18Stay away!

01:07:19Get off me!

01:07:20Man, pretty

01:07:21girl.

01:07:22The other one

01:07:23took a heap, but

01:07:24you?

01:07:25You'll do just

01:07:25fine.

01:07:26Don't you dare

01:07:27touch me!

01:07:28I'm a brown.

01:07:29Touch me and

01:07:30you're dead.

01:07:33Oh, man, yeah?

01:07:35That just makes

01:07:36it way more

01:07:37interesting.

01:07:40Help!

01:07:41Help!

01:07:41Let me go!

01:07:44After closing

01:07:45the door behind

01:07:46me, I calmly

01:07:48make my way back

01:07:49to the banquet

01:07:49hall.

01:07:50Sophia, who

01:07:51had earlier stood

01:07:51by my side,

01:07:52approaches with a

01:07:53warm smile and

01:07:54extends her hand.

01:07:55I'm Sophia Flynn.

01:07:57How about we get

01:07:58better acquainted?

01:07:59Catherine Brown.

01:08:00It's a pleasure

01:08:01to meet you.

01:08:02About 15 minutes

01:08:03later, a sudden

01:08:04disturbance breaks

01:08:04out outside the

01:08:05banquet hall.

01:08:06The crowd moves

01:08:07towards the

01:08:07guest room.

01:08:10As they get

01:08:11closer, heavy

01:08:12breathing and a

01:08:13woman's desperate

01:08:13screams reach

01:08:14their ears.

01:08:19Anne's face

01:08:19drains of color.

01:08:21What are you

01:08:21waiting for?

01:08:22Get that door

01:08:23down now!

01:08:24A few strong

01:08:25servants step up

01:08:26and smash the

01:08:27door open.

01:08:28Inside, the

01:08:29shocking scene

01:08:30unfolds for

01:08:31everyone to

01:08:31see.

01:08:33Jolene, her

01:08:34hair mussy and

01:08:35clothes rumpled,

01:08:36is pinned down

01:08:37by an unfamiliar

01:08:38man.

01:08:39Seeing the crowd

01:08:40at the doorway,

01:08:41she breaks down

01:08:42in tears.

01:08:42Mom, it was

01:08:43Catherine!

01:08:44She tricked me!

01:08:45She planned all

01:08:46of this!

01:08:50Despite the

01:08:51accusations, I

01:08:52don't flinch.

01:08:53Jolene, where

01:08:54are you getting

01:08:54this from?

01:08:55The maid ruined

01:08:56my dress and

01:08:57you sent her to

01:08:57fetch me some

01:08:58clothes, but I

01:08:59waited ages and

01:09:00no one came, so

01:09:01I left.

01:09:01When I left, the

01:09:03room was empty.

01:09:04I have no idea

01:09:05how you ended up

01:09:05here.

01:09:06How could you be

01:09:07so heartless?

01:09:09Jolene is your

01:09:09sister!

01:09:11I was with

01:09:12Miss Flynn in

01:09:12the banquet hall the

01:09:13entire time.

01:09:14Many guests can

01:09:15vouch for that.

01:09:16How can you

01:09:17stoop to such

01:09:18tactics?

01:09:20Regarding

01:09:21Jolene, we'll

01:09:22have a chance to

01:09:23question the man

01:09:23soon enough.

01:09:27What happened

01:09:28today was a

01:09:28private family

01:09:29matter.

01:09:30Anyone who

01:09:30breathes a

01:09:31word of it will

01:09:31be making an

01:09:32enemy of the

01:09:33Brown family.

01:09:34Anne grabs her

01:09:34trembling daughter

01:09:35and practically

01:09:36drags Jolene

01:09:37out.

01:09:37The man is

01:09:38also hauled

01:09:39away.

01:09:45What a

01:09:46night.

01:09:46You handled

01:09:47that like a

01:09:47pro.

01:09:51It was simply

01:09:52responding to

01:09:52what she

01:09:52started.

01:09:53If she had

01:09:54stayed in her

01:09:55lane, none

01:09:56of this would

01:09:56have happened.

01:09:57Time after

01:09:58time, Jolene

01:09:59tried to set

01:09:59me up.

01:10:00Did she

01:10:00really think I

01:10:01was still the

01:10:02same Catherine

01:10:02who'd just

01:10:03take it lying

01:10:03down?

01:10:04What happened

01:10:05tonight?

01:10:06She brought

01:10:07it on herself.

01:10:09Morning sunlight

01:10:10pours in through

01:10:10the large window

01:10:11casting soft

01:10:12highlights across

01:10:12his sharp jawline.

01:10:14Mr. Warren.

01:10:16Morning.

01:10:16Let's get

01:10:17started.

01:10:17Without

01:10:18hesitation,

01:10:18he reaches

01:10:19for the

01:10:19buttons of

01:10:19his shirt

01:10:20and pulls

01:10:20it up,

01:10:21exposing his

01:10:22bare chest.

01:10:22I slip into

01:10:23professional mode,

01:10:24pick up my

01:10:25medical kit and

01:10:26move to his

01:10:27side.

01:10:28Need a hand

01:10:29handling the

01:10:29browns?

01:10:30My hands

01:10:31work with

01:10:32practiced

01:10:32confidence.

01:10:34Not right

01:10:34now.

01:10:35I've got it

01:10:36covered.

01:10:37Once the

01:10:38session wraps

01:10:39up, I'm

01:10:39packing away

01:10:40my tools when

01:10:41Liam slowly

01:10:42pushes off the

01:10:43sofa.

01:10:44He stands

01:10:45steady,

01:10:45clear-headed.

01:10:46You're

01:10:46healing

01:10:46well.

01:10:48You're

01:10:49really

01:10:49skilled at

01:10:49this.

01:10:50Thanks.

01:10:51Keep this

01:10:51up and

01:10:52one more

01:10:52session and

01:10:52you'll be

01:10:53good as

01:10:53new.

01:10:53Once I'm

01:10:54fully better,

01:10:55what do you

01:10:55want in

01:10:56exchange?

01:10:57You've

01:10:57already paid

01:10:57for the

01:10:58treatments,

01:10:59but if I

01:11:00ever need

01:11:00help down

01:11:00the road,

01:11:01I hope

01:11:01you'll

01:11:01remember the

01:11:02understanding

01:11:02we have

01:11:03today.

01:11:04Sounds

01:11:04fair.

01:11:05Just

01:11:05then,

01:11:06a knock

01:11:06comes at

01:11:06the door

01:11:07and a

01:11:07maid enters.

01:11:08Sir,

01:11:08Mr.

01:11:09Cassius

01:11:09Warren has

01:11:09arrived.

01:11:10His tone

01:11:11turns icy

01:11:11in an

01:11:12instant.

01:11:12The smile

01:11:13that had

01:11:13just been

01:11:13there

01:11:13disappears

01:11:14completely.

01:11:15Tell him

01:11:15to wait

01:11:16for me

01:11:16in the

01:11:16living room.

01:11:17When I

01:11:17enter the

01:11:18living room,

01:11:18a man

01:11:19in a

01:11:19dark

01:11:20gray suit

01:11:20glances

01:11:21my way.

01:11:22He

01:11:22appears

01:11:22to be

01:11:23in his

01:11:2350s,

01:11:24sharing

01:11:24some

01:11:25resemblance

01:11:25with

01:11:25Liam.

01:14:47you

01:14:47a

01:14:47front

01:14:47row

01:14:49Your

01:14:49status

01:14:50comes

01:14:50from

01:14:50flaunting

01:14:51fake

01:14:51jewelries?

01:14:53And

01:14:53what

01:14:53would

01:14:54a

01:14:54country

01:14:54girl

01:14:54like

01:14:55you

01:14:55possibly

01:14:55understand

01:14:56about

01:14:56jewelry?

01:14:58That's

01:14:59Maris

01:14:59Core,

01:15:00an iconic

01:15:01design by

01:15:01Davina

01:15:01Gemma from

01:15:02the 60s,

01:15:03centered around

01:15:03a rare

01:15:04cushion-cut

01:15:04diamond

01:15:05framed by

01:15:05a dozen

01:15:06emeralds.

01:15:07The real

01:15:08necklace was

01:15:09sold at

01:15:09last year's

01:15:10Veritas auction

01:15:11for $36

01:15:11million,

01:15:12bought

01:15:12anonymously.

01:15:15I have

01:15:15to admit,

01:15:16you've got an

01:15:17eye for

01:15:17quality.

01:15:18It is

01:15:18lovely,

01:15:19I'll give

01:15:19you that,

01:15:20but the

01:15:20issue is that

01:15:21yours isn't

01:15:21authentic.

01:15:22Yes,

01:15:22the center

01:15:23stone is

01:15:23about the

01:15:24right size,

01:15:24but it's

01:15:25missing the

01:15:25clarity a

01:15:26genuine one

01:15:26would have.

01:15:27They look

01:15:27like fresh

01:15:28lab-made

01:15:28pieces.

01:15:29You're

01:15:30talking

01:15:30nonsense!

01:15:31My father

01:15:31gave this

01:15:32to me for

01:15:32my birthday!

01:15:33Janice,

01:15:34don't let my

01:15:34sister get

01:15:35to you.

01:15:35She's been

01:15:36out of touch

01:15:36for years,

01:15:37she probably

01:15:38hasn't even

01:15:38seen jewelry

01:15:39of this

01:15:39caliber.

01:15:40It's easy

01:15:40for her to

01:15:41misjudge.

01:15:41I stay

01:15:42calm,

01:15:42shifting my

01:15:43gaze to

01:15:44the other

01:15:44woman's

01:15:44wrist.

01:15:45Your bracelet

01:15:45actually has

01:15:46decent

01:15:47translucency,

01:15:48but it's

01:15:49been chemically

01:15:49treated and

01:15:50filled with

01:15:50resin.

01:15:51Wearing that

01:15:52too long

01:15:52isn't good

01:15:53for your

01:15:53health,

01:15:54just so you

01:15:55know.

01:15:55The woman

01:15:56snatches her

01:15:56hand back,

01:15:57going pale.

01:16:00I turn to

01:16:01Jolene.

01:16:02Your necklace

01:16:03is no better,

01:16:04Jolene.

01:16:05Those diamonds

01:16:06look fake

01:16:06too.

01:16:08Jolene's

01:16:09fingers shoot

01:16:10toward her ear

01:16:10but stop

01:16:11halfway.

01:16:11The whole

01:16:12hall goes

01:16:13completely

01:16:13still.

01:16:15That was

01:16:16savage.

01:16:17You nailed

01:16:18that comeback

01:16:18perfectly.

01:16:21I take a

01:16:22sip from my

01:16:23glass and

01:16:24feel not a

01:16:24trace of

01:16:25guilt.

01:16:25Fake

01:16:26jewelry?

01:16:27Fine.

01:16:28Wear it

01:16:28quietly and

01:16:29no one will

01:16:29say a word.

01:16:30But you

01:16:31had to step

01:16:31on me to

01:16:32feel taller.

01:16:33So don't

01:16:33blame me for

01:16:34exposing your

01:16:35fake jewelry.

01:16:36Just you

01:16:37wait.

01:16:38I'm calling

01:16:39in a top

01:16:40jewelry expert,

01:16:41right now!

01:16:43Be my

01:16:44guest.

01:16:45Relax,

01:16:45Janice.

01:16:46It's a

01:16:46beautiful day.

01:16:48There's no

01:16:48need to let

01:16:49some petty

01:16:49nonsense spoil

01:16:50it.

01:16:50Petty?

01:16:51This isn't

01:16:52just about

01:16:53me wearing

01:16:53a fake!

01:16:55She's

01:16:55insulting the

01:16:56honor of

01:16:56the whole

01:16:56Lopez family!

01:16:58Lopez family!

01:17:07The

01:17:08craftsmanship

01:17:09is

01:17:09extraordinary,

01:17:10but something

01:17:10is off.

01:17:11The cut

01:17:12and the

01:17:12color don't

01:17:13match the

01:17:13authentic

01:17:14Maris

01:17:14core.

01:17:16Miss

01:17:17Lopez,

01:17:18I'm afraid

01:17:19this necklace

01:17:19is indeed

01:17:20a replica.

01:17:21What?

01:17:23That

01:17:23can't be!

01:17:24The

01:17:25craftsmanship

01:17:25is exceptionally

01:17:26convincing,

01:17:27almost flawless.

01:17:28But as

01:17:28Miss

01:17:29Brown pointed

01:17:29out,

01:17:29the

01:17:30cutting

01:17:30style and

01:17:30the

01:17:30emerald

01:17:31shade

01:17:31reveal

01:17:31subtle

01:17:32differences.

01:17:33Impressive

01:17:34eye,

01:17:34Miss

01:17:34Brown.

01:17:35Only the

01:17:35most skilled

01:17:36experts can

01:17:36detect such

01:17:37subtle

01:17:37distinctions.

01:17:38May I

01:17:39has been

01:17:39your

01:17:39teacher?

01:17:40My

01:17:51last

01:17:51international

01:17:51competition

01:17:52was truly

01:17:53well-deserved.

01:17:54No wonder

01:17:54she spotted

01:17:55the fake

01:17:55so easily.

01:17:56She's
