Short filmTranscript
00:00:11Today is my wedding with Lucas.
00:00:13I loved him for 10 years and he hated me for 10 years.
00:00:18In his heart, there will always be someone else.
00:00:21My sister Sophie.
00:00:23Do you, Miss Lucas Lu, take Miss Lu Lin to be your lawfully wedded wife for better or for...
00:00:27No.
00:00:30I don't.
00:00:30Olivia, you used your family's power to force me to marry you to tear me and Sophie apart.
00:00:36This farce ends now!
00:00:38He didn't know that Sophie, the one he longed for so desperately, died in a plane crash less than a
00:00:42year after she was married off overseas.
00:00:43He blamed all of it on me.
00:00:46For eight years after that, we tortured each other.
00:00:48And the words he said most often were...
00:00:52Olivia, even if I marry you, I will never love you.
00:00:54You and I are destined for a bitter end.
00:01:03Sophie's death shattered the alliance between the Lu family and the Lin family for good.
00:01:06A corporate war erupted.
00:01:07The Lin family went bankrupt.
00:01:08And now, I'm about to die too.
00:01:10Oh!
00:01:19The ambulance is on its way.
00:01:21Lucas, if there were a next life, what would you say to me?
00:01:24Olivia, if there really were a next life, I would say, please let me be with Sophie.
00:01:28Fine.
00:01:29As you wish.
00:01:46I've been reborn.
00:01:49Olivia, the Chin family's ovaries consortium has specifically requested an arranged marriage with our family.
00:01:53They want your sister Sophie to marry into their family.
00:01:55That Edward Sin.
00:01:56I've heard he's ruthless and cold-blooded.
00:01:58I truly can't bear to let Sophie...
00:02:00Dad, I'll go.
00:02:02What?
00:02:02You...
00:02:04I'll marry in Sophie's place.
00:02:06I'm the eldest daughter.
00:02:07It's my duty to bear the family's responsibility.
00:02:10Lucas, in this life, I'm giving your Sophie back to you.
00:02:13And I'm giving my freedom back to myself.
00:02:20Please, I beg you, don't force Sophie to marry overseas.
00:02:22I love her.
00:02:22I can't live without her.
00:02:23He's exactly the same as in the last life.
00:02:25For Sophie, he'd throw away every shred of dignity.
00:02:27He just never knows that in this life, the one walking into that lion's den is me.
00:02:49Was it you who saved me?
00:02:52I'm just glad you're okay.
00:02:53I saved your life, and you spent ten years repaying the wrong person.
00:02:57No.
00:02:58Two lifetimes.
00:02:59In this life, I will never live for anyone else again.
00:03:02So what if Edward Chin is a lion's den?
00:03:04It's still better than staying here, being devoured alive by all of you.
00:03:09Edward Quinn.
00:03:10The sole heir of the Chin Consortium, controlling half of the European and American shipping industry.
00:03:14Ruthless, deceivive, and extremely dangerous man.
00:03:18In my last life, Sophie married into his family and died in a plane crash less than a year later.
00:03:23What really happened?
00:03:24This time, I'm walking straight into the empire he controls.
00:03:26I must tread carefully with every step, or I won't survive.
00:03:44Where on earth is Sophie gone?
00:03:49Olivia, did you do something to Sophie again?
00:03:51Why won't she see me?
00:03:54Captain Lou, I'm very busy.
00:03:55I don't have time to worry about you and your sweetheart.
00:04:00You! You'd better hope I don't find out you're behind this.
00:04:03Otherwise...
00:04:13The storm is about to begin.
00:04:17Sis, are you really marrying in my place?
00:04:19I heard that Edward's scene is terrifying.
00:04:21Yes, but I have one condition.
00:04:23You must keep this a secret from Lucas.
00:04:24From everyone.
00:04:26Understood!
00:04:27Don't worry, sis!
00:04:28My lips are sealed.
00:04:30It's just...
00:04:32What about Lucas?
00:04:35What happens with him is none of my concern.
00:04:37And none of yours either.
00:04:38Remember your promise.
00:04:44Oh, sis.
00:04:45This was your own choice.
00:04:47Don't blame me.
00:05:00Again, Olivia Lynn.
00:05:04Volunteered to marry in her sister's place?
00:05:06Interesting.
00:05:08Why do I keep feeling like I've seen those eyes somewhere before?
00:05:12And lately...
00:05:13I keep hearing fragments of a woman's voice.
00:05:21Lucas?
00:05:22How did you get in?
00:05:23This is trespassing.
00:05:25Olivia, tell me.
00:05:26Did you pressure your father into forcing Sophie to agree to the arranged marriage?
00:05:31I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:05:34Don't play dumb!
00:05:35Sophie is so pure and kind-hearted.
00:05:37There's no way she would willingly agree to marry someone so far away.
00:05:39Who else but you would scheme so deliberately to tear us apart?
00:05:42She saved my life!
00:05:43And you can't even tolerate that?
00:05:46Olivia, I'm begging you.
00:05:46Please let me be with Sophie.
00:05:48I'll do anything you want.
00:05:52This is fathers-me-a-decision.
00:05:53Useless.
00:05:55Besides, Sophie has already left.
00:05:58You've always believed she was the one who saved you, haven't you?
00:06:00Fine.
00:06:01Then I'll give you exactly what you want.
00:06:04Captain Liu, in your story, I'm always the scheming villain, aren't I?
00:06:07Think whatever you like.
00:06:08I need to rest.
00:06:11Please leave.
00:06:13She signed it?
00:06:15Why is her name on this?
00:06:17Do I need to call someone to escort you out, Captain Liu?
00:06:25You've always believed she was the one who saved you, haven't you?
00:06:28Fine.
00:06:28Then I'll give you exactly what you want.
00:06:30The eldest daughter of the Lin family, she saved someone's life as a child?
00:06:34According to the files, Miss Olivia Lin did rescue a drowning companion when she was around eight years old.
00:06:38Though the specific details are unclear.
00:06:42These fragments again?
00:06:43Sir, you haven't seemed to be resting well lately.
00:06:46It's nothing.
00:06:48Once Olivia departs, make sure every detail of her itinerary is flawless.
00:06:51Yes, sir.
00:06:51Lately, I keep feeling some inexplicable connection to you, as if by fate.
00:06:54I suppose I won't understand any of this until I see you in person.
00:06:56Olivia Lin.
00:07:01Lucas, if you ask me, barging into Olivia's place last night was way too impulsive.
00:07:04What if she called the police?
00:07:07I'd had a few drinks.
00:07:08Besides, I saw the agreement.
00:07:09The one going through with the marriage is her.
00:07:11What?
00:07:11Olivia herself?
00:07:12Then could it be that you've been misunderstanding her all along?
00:07:18I don't know if it's just another one of her schemes.
00:07:23Olivia, about last night I had too much to drink.
00:07:25I'm sorry.
00:07:27This is to make it up to you.
00:07:28That limited edition Aviator bracelet you once said you wanted.
00:07:32Here's the limited edition Aviator bracelet you wanted.
00:07:34I won the bid for you.
00:07:35Now, can you stop giving Sophie a hard time?
00:07:37The fact that he'd give me a bracelet proves he still cares about me.
00:07:40Once we're married, I can slowly make him fall in love with me.
00:07:42Fine, I won't give Sophie any trouble.
00:07:44She has it easy in the ground crew anyway.
00:07:46I've never been hard on her.
00:07:48Lucas, that won't be necessary.
00:07:49I don't need it anymore.
00:07:52She's really different now.
00:07:57Sis, are you really marrying my place?
00:07:58I heard Edward Seen is terrifying.
00:08:00Maybe, maybe I should just go myself.
00:08:02I've already signed the agreement.
00:08:03I leave tomorrow.
00:08:04Then, what about Lucas?
00:08:06You really want-
00:08:06Sophie, stop the act.
00:08:07I know exactly what's going on inside your head.
00:08:10Sis, how can you say that about me?
00:08:12What you stole from me by the lake ten years ago in this life,
00:08:14I don't want it anymore.
00:08:15Keep it for yourself.
00:08:16She knows?
00:08:18Then I'll make Lose's shoes again.
00:08:20The one he loves is me!
00:08:21Is everything to your satisfaction?
00:08:24It's a beautiful evening.
00:08:32In my last life, it was at this very dinner party that he chose Sophie without a moment's hesitation.
00:08:36In this life, the ending is already written.
00:08:39What am I even hoping for?
00:08:44Sis, thank you for everything you've done for me.
00:08:46Let me toast to you!
00:08:59Ah, sis!
00:09:03Someone fell in!
00:09:11Sophie, don't be scared.
00:09:12I'm right here.
00:09:16So, no matter how many times life starts over,
00:09:19your choice will never change.
00:09:37Olivia, are you all right?
00:09:45Was it you?
00:09:47Who saved me?
00:09:52How could I?
00:09:53The one who saved me back then was clearly Sophie.
00:09:57Lucas, I'm so cold.
00:09:59Sophie can't swim at all, can she?
00:10:01Even if you knew it was me who saved you that day,
00:10:03you'd still choose her.
00:10:10Lucas, is Sophie all right?
00:10:12She was a bit shaken up, but she's asleep now.
00:10:14Olivia, how is she?
00:10:16She caught a severe chill.
00:10:17High fever.
00:10:18She needs proper rest.
00:10:21The bracelet?
00:10:22Mine.
00:10:26The bracelet?
00:10:27She seems to care so much about that bracelet?
00:10:36Miss, you're awake?
00:10:37Last night you were delirious with fever.
00:10:38It was quite frightening.
00:10:39Captain Lou stayed by your side
00:10:40until the middle of the night before he left.
00:10:43He stayed until midnight?
00:10:46This is so unlike him.
00:10:47Could it be because I changed my choice,
00:10:49everything has started to veer off course?
00:10:50Or could it mean,
00:10:51Lucas, have you come back too?
00:10:56Lucas, have you come back too?
00:10:58Lucas, have you come back too?
00:10:58I used to believe these were proof
00:10:59that he had me in his heart.
00:11:00It was only later that I understand.
00:11:02What he gave Sophie was always the newest,
00:11:03the finest, one of a kind.
00:11:05What I received
00:11:06was nothing more than leftover copies
00:11:07she didn't want.
00:11:10Is this for me, Lucas?
00:11:11Yeah, you've always liked them,
00:11:12so I got you one.
00:11:13Thank you, Lucas!
00:11:19Oh, so you like model planes too, sis?
00:11:21If I'd known, I would have had Lucas
00:11:21give you this one instead.
00:11:22After all, this one is brand new.
00:11:30Where's the beige?
00:11:31Did it fall into the pool?
00:11:33Or Sophie?
00:11:37Put it down.
00:11:38Sis, you should knock before coming in.
00:11:40This badge is quite pretty.
00:11:41Lucas gave it to you, right?
00:11:42I was just trying it on.
00:11:43That belongs to me.
00:11:44Give it back.
00:11:45Oh, no!
00:11:49Sophie!
00:11:51What happened?
00:11:52Lucas, I was just curious
00:11:53and wanted to look at this beige.
00:11:54I accidentally dropped it
00:11:55and then she just...
00:11:56It's just a beige.
00:11:57Did you really have to lay hands on Sophie?
00:12:04Olivia!
00:12:05What are you doing?
00:12:11Lucas, this cut severs everything between us.
00:12:14From this day forward,
00:12:15you and I are done.
00:12:15Completely.
00:12:17I wish you and your savior
00:12:18everything you deserve.
00:12:24Savior?
00:12:26Lucas, your hand.
00:12:27Sis went way too far.
00:12:28I just accidentally...
00:12:29Sophie.
00:12:31Yes?
00:12:33Ten years ago by the lake,
00:12:35was it really you who saved me?
00:12:36Lucas, why would you suddenly ask that?
00:12:37Of course it was me.
00:12:38I was the first person you saw
00:12:38when you woke up, wasn't I?
00:12:39I remember...
00:12:40I think I grabbed onto something.
00:12:41A cord of some kind.
00:12:42What cord?
00:12:42There was no cord.
00:12:43Lucas, are you sure you're not remembering?
00:12:45We were so young back then.
00:12:46Maybe so.
00:12:49Why?
00:12:49Does something always feel wrong?
00:12:50Sophie can't even swim.
00:12:54What is going on?
00:12:55I need to find out the truth.
00:12:57What happened ten years ago,
00:12:58I have to know.
00:13:02Lucas, after tonight,
00:13:03we'll never see each other again.
00:13:09Why?
00:13:10When I saw that look in her eyes,
00:13:13why does it hurt so much right here?
00:13:14What did Olivia mean by
00:13:15completely done and savior?
00:13:23Olivia, when you get there,
00:13:24please be careful.
00:13:25Dad is sorry.
00:13:26I failed you.
00:13:27Dad, take care of yourself.
00:13:28This is my own choice.
00:13:36Mr. Lin, where's Olivia?
00:13:38I need to speak with her.
00:13:39I have to find out the truth.
00:13:40Was it really Sophie who saved me,
00:13:41or was it Olivia Oliver?
00:13:41Oh, Lucas, I haven't had a chance to tell you.
00:13:43Olivia has already left for the airport.
00:13:45Olivia!
00:13:48Lucas, after today,
00:13:50you and Sophie can finally be together
00:13:52without anything standing in your way.
00:13:55Lucas!
00:13:56Wait for me!
00:14:00Flight BJ01,
00:14:01the private charter to Zurich,
00:14:02is now boarding at gate C12.
00:14:07Olivia!
00:14:08Lucas!
00:14:09Watch out for the cars!
00:14:13Lucas, there's a problem
00:14:14with the wedding preparations
00:14:15for near you and Olivia.
00:14:16Why haven't you come home yet?
00:14:17And that girl Sophie
00:14:17just came to the house crying,
00:14:18saying something about her sister
00:14:19marrying in her place
00:14:19and how she didn't have to go overseas anymore.
00:14:21What on earth is going on?
00:14:26She's not marrying me?
00:14:28She took Sophie's place
00:14:29and married overseas?
00:14:31How could this happen?
00:14:34Stop that plane!
00:14:36BJ01!
00:14:38Don't let it take off!
00:14:38Captain Liu, I'm sorry,
00:14:40but that is a private jet
00:14:41belonging to the Chin Consortium.
00:14:42We have no authority to intervene.
00:14:45It's already been cleared for takeoff.
00:14:53Olivia.
00:14:55She's really gone.
00:15:00Lucas, you can only belong to me.
00:15:12It was me!
00:15:13It's me!
00:15:14I saved Lucas!
00:15:15I remember now!
00:15:16I remember everything!
00:15:20Lucas, what's wrong?
00:15:22Sophie,
00:15:23you lied to me for ten years.
00:15:25Lucas, what are you talking about?
00:15:27I-I didn't-
00:15:28Starting today.
00:15:30Don't ever come looking for me again.
00:15:40It was Olivia!
00:15:42That brace was hers!
00:15:44Olivia was the one who saved me!
00:15:45But why didn't she ever say anything?
00:15:46Why didn't she tell me sooner?
00:15:48Why?
00:15:48What have I done?
00:15:50I've been hating her,
00:15:51hurting her all this time.
00:15:52Lucas!
00:15:58I have to find her.
00:16:00Right now.
00:16:03Lucas, you came to see me.
00:16:05I need Edward Chin's address in Zurich.
00:16:07Now.
00:16:09You're going after Sis?
00:16:10Why?
00:16:12I thought you always loved me!
00:16:14Loved you?
00:16:15I see it clearly now.
00:16:17I protected you out of nothing more than habit and gratitude.
00:16:21But I can't live without Olivia.
00:16:23She doesn't want you anymore!
00:16:24She's already married to someone else!
00:16:26Then I'll take her back.
00:16:32And now, Lucas suddenly doesn't want me either!
00:16:37That's the master's child from the outside.
00:16:38She must be seven or eight by now.
00:16:40My, I never imagined the master's illegitimate daughter would be this already.
00:16:43Poor first madam, passing away so early.
00:16:45Hmph.
00:16:45Well, I only care for the young miss.
00:16:46I'll never take a liking to that other child.
00:16:48Hmph.
00:16:48Well, I only care for the young miss.
00:16:50I'll never take a liking to that other child.
00:16:53Keep your voice down.
00:16:54Don't let the master hear you.
00:16:55Daddy said I'm his daughter, too.
00:16:56From now on, what's yours is mine.
00:16:58Okay, we're family.
00:16:59Here, this doll is yours.
00:17:02Sophie, you work amazing!
00:17:03You were the first one out.
00:17:04You're definitely getting first place this time.
00:17:06I hope so.
00:17:07Hey, hey, everyone, look!
00:17:08Our prejudy Olivia Lynn just scored first in the entire school!
00:17:11As expected of Chairman Lynn's daughter.
00:17:18I won't let you stay above me forever, Olivia!
00:17:21I need a ticket on the next available flight to Zurich.
00:17:24Any class.
00:17:25I don't care.
00:17:26Captain Liu, I'm terribly sorry, but all flights to Zurich today have already departed.
00:17:31The earliest available flight isn't until the day after tomorrow at 9 a.m.
00:17:36The day after tomorrow?
00:17:40I can't even catch up to her.
00:17:41I'm already too late.
00:17:45Edward Sin.
00:17:46What kind of man is he, really?
00:17:50That's her voice.
00:17:51She's on the plane.
00:17:53Zurich?
00:17:54I wonder what's waiting for me there.
00:17:55Lucas, it's finally over.
00:17:57Mom's bracelet.
00:17:57What a shame I lost it.
00:17:59The bracelet.
00:18:01So it truly is something precious to her.
00:18:03Carl, contact our people on her end.
00:18:04The moment Olivia arrives, the first priority is to a faded, hand-woven-finds bracelet.
00:18:08Sir, what exactly is-
00:18:09Just do it.
00:18:11Tap, Olivia, your inner voice.
00:18:14I think I'm beginning to understand it.
00:18:19Sir, Miss Lynn has arrived.
00:18:23Olivia Lynn?
00:18:25The Lynn family's substitute.
00:18:28Mr. Chen, I'm Olivia Lynn.
00:18:30You're on behalf of the Lynn family to fulfill the agreement.
00:18:32A substitute usually implies something inferior.
00:18:35Tell me, why should I accept a woman that someone else didn't want?
00:18:38So he's going to put me in my place right away.
00:18:40A substitute?
00:18:42If the Lynn family were truly useless, why bother with a marriage alliance at all?
00:18:47So I really can hear thoughts.
00:18:49Sharp-tongued, this one.
00:18:50Mr. Quinn, resorting to personal insults against a potential partner is hardly a wise business practice.
00:18:54Mr. Kin, I'm not here to beg for your acceptance.
00:18:55I'm here based on a black and white agreement between two families.
00:18:59Partners?
00:19:00A family that's hollow on the inside, surviving on nothing but a marriage alliance.
00:19:04And you think you're worthy of discussing partnership with me?
00:19:07Miss Lynn, where exactly does your confidence come from?
00:19:11Or do you think that pretty face of yours entitles you to special treatment here?
00:19:16He's testing me.
00:19:17I have to hold my ground.
00:19:19My confidence comes from knowing that the Chin consumption is currently going all in on expanding into the Asia-specific
00:19:24shipping market.
00:19:25And the Lynn family, diminished as it may be, still holds decades of established channels and foundations in that region.
00:19:28A rather useful stepping stone.
00:19:31She's nothing like the timidid woman described in the file.
00:19:33Interesting.
00:19:35I hope your abilities live up to your eloquence.
00:19:37Take her to get settled in.
00:19:38Mrs. Lynn, this is your room.
00:19:39Please rest for now.
00:19:43Such a bare room.
00:19:45Is this another power play or a test?
00:19:55How...
00:19:55How is this here?
00:19:59Edward.
00:20:01Quinn.
00:20:03What exactly are you trying to say?
00:20:06Sir, the bracelet has been delivered.
00:20:07But how did you know Miss Lynn was looking for it?
00:20:10I heard it.
00:20:13Heard it?
00:20:14Olivia, your inner voice.
00:20:16I will decipher it piece by piece.
00:20:17I want to know what kind of person you truly are.
00:20:22Miss Lynn, Mr. Chin has requested that you join him at the golf course after breakfast.
00:20:25He said he'd like to see how you play.
00:20:27Golf?
00:20:29He's already testing me on the first day.
00:20:37Do you play?
00:20:38I've played a few times.
00:20:39I wouldn't say I'm skilled.
00:20:40Perfect.
00:20:41The sun is lovely today.
00:20:43Keep me company for a few holes.
00:20:46What exactly is he trying to test?
00:20:47My athletic ability or my patience?
00:20:49No need to be nervous.
00:20:50Just a casual game.
00:20:54Your form is off.
00:20:56Keep your back straight.
00:20:58Relax your arms.
00:21:00Eyes on the ball.
00:21:01Don't look at me.
00:21:02Too close.
00:21:03His breath.
00:21:04Focus.
00:21:07See?
00:21:08Much better.
00:21:09Mr. Quinn, your teaching style is quite unique.
00:21:12An extraordinary person calls for extraordinary methods.
00:21:15Went off course.
00:21:18Miss Lynn, would you mind retrieving it from me?
00:21:19He did that on purpose.
00:21:21He wants me running across Rough Terrian under the blazing sun.
00:21:23Testing my obedience.
00:21:27Would you rather not?
00:21:29Of course.
00:21:30One moment, Mr. Quinn.
00:21:33She's more resilient than I expected.
00:21:37Sir, shall I go help her?
00:21:38No need.
00:21:39I want to see where her limits are.
00:21:41I want to see where her limits are.
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:47Quite the welcome, indeed.
00:21:52Your ball.
00:21:57What happened to your foot?
00:21:58It's nothing.
00:22:00The shoes don't quite fit.
00:22:01We're done.
00:22:04There's no point in putting on a brave front here.
00:22:05If you're hurt, say so.
00:22:06If you're uncomfortable, stop.
00:22:09Understood?
00:22:11Isn't this exactly the test you wanted?
00:22:13And now you're saying this?
00:22:14The test is over.
00:22:15You passed.
00:22:17I passed?
00:22:18At the very least, you've proven you're not the kind of person who cries at the first sign of pain.
00:22:22In the Chin family, that matters.
00:22:24Are you coming?
00:22:24Or do I need to carry you back?
00:22:35Miss Lin, Mr. Chin asked me to bring you this medicine.
00:22:37Also, there will be a family gathering tomorrow evening.
00:22:39He would like you to attend.
00:22:41A family gathering?
00:22:42Several key members of the Chin family in Europe will be present.
00:22:44This will be your first public appearance as Mr. Chin's fiancé.
00:22:48I understand.
00:22:52A slap followed by a sweet date.
00:22:53Classic taming tactics.
00:22:58Taming, no.
00:23:00I just want to see who you really are.
00:23:03Olivia, you're far more interesting than I imagined.
00:23:09This is Olivia Lynn, my fiancé.
00:23:11Oh!
00:23:16Edward, so this is the Eastern bride you've chosen?
00:23:20She looks quite young.
00:23:22She's appreciating my value.
00:23:23Like examining a piece of mermintice up for auction.
00:23:26And Victoria, age doesn't define everything.
00:23:29Olivia is the most accomplished heir of the Lin family and the partner I've chosen.
00:23:31I certainly hope so.
00:23:33Being the lady of the Chin family is no easy role to fill.
00:23:35Miss Victoria, I've heard you have a deep appreciation for Eastern art.
00:23:38If the opportunity arises, I would love to discuss the art of Ming Dynasty blue porcelain with you.
00:23:42You know art?
00:23:46She's capable of far more than you might imagine.
00:23:49So she was hurt after all.
00:23:51You did well tonight.
00:23:52Just basic social etiquette.
00:23:56You seem quite skilled at handling these kinds of occasions.
00:23:59In my past life, I learned far many things I shouldn't have, just to fit into Lucas' world.
00:24:02At least it's come in handy now.
00:24:03Starting next week, you'll be joining the Quinn Group's Asia-Paw Pacific Projects Division as an advisory consultant.
00:24:08That soon?
00:24:10If we're going to stand side by side, you need to start by understanding the Quinn Group.
00:24:15Any objections?
00:24:17None.
00:24:17I'll do my best.
00:24:21Olivia, here.
00:24:21You can be yourself.
00:24:22You don't need to pretend and you don't need to please anyone.
00:24:24Including me.
00:24:26Be myself.
00:24:27Can I even remember what my true self looks like anymore?
00:24:30Mr. Kinn.
00:24:31You twisted your ankle yesterday, didn't you?
00:24:34If it's not better by tomorrow, I'll have the family doctor come take a look.
00:25:00The partnership with the Chen Group in Asia-Paw Pacific has reached an impasse.
00:25:03They're taking a hardline stance on sharing core technology and demanding we concede more profit margins.
00:25:09The matriarch of the Chen family is an old friend of my late mother's.
00:25:11Perhaps I could try reaching out.
00:25:15Are you confident you can make a difference, Miss Lin?
00:25:17I'll need a secure phone capable of international calls and a detailed copy of the partnership terms.
00:25:25I'll arrange it right away.
00:25:28Let me hang on, y'all.
00:25:28Olivia, Aunt Catherine, is that you?
00:25:30Yes, I'm in Zurich now.
00:25:31There's something I was hoping you could help me with.
00:25:32What the teen constitution offers isn't just capital.
00:25:34It's access to the entire European market.
00:25:36The Chen Group's technology combined with the teen Christian's channels, that's a true win-win.
00:25:39Olivia, you've really grown up.
00:25:41You're right.
00:25:42I'll have the Chen Group reassess this partnership proposal.
00:25:44Thank you, Auntie.
00:25:45The first step.
00:25:46I've finally taken it.
00:25:47Aunt Catherine has agreed to urge the Chen Group to reassess the partnership.
00:25:49They'll have a new negotiation proposal ready by tomorrow at the latest.
00:25:52Well done.
00:25:57How's the foot?
00:25:59Much better.
00:26:00Thank you for the medicine, Mr. Chen.
00:26:03Olivia, have I ever told you that you're quite remarkable?
00:26:05Remarkable?
00:26:06Remarkably resilient or remarkably useful?
00:26:08You never complain, and it was just another way of saying you never seek credit.
00:26:10You simply get things done.
00:26:12Quietly and perfectly.
00:26:14It's what I should do.
00:26:15At the Chen Group, nothing is simply what you should do.
00:26:18Everything you've done, I will remember.
00:26:23Jason, get me an invitation to the charity gala.
00:26:26Yes, by any means necessary.
00:26:29Olivia, this time, I won't let you slip away again.
00:26:32Remarkable?
00:26:32Remarkably resilient?
00:26:33Or remarkably useful?
00:26:34It's what I should do.
00:26:37The first step?
00:26:39I've finally taken it.
00:26:41Olivia, you've wrapped yourself up far too tightly.
00:26:51You really came, Lucas.
00:26:54Is it him?
00:26:56Yes.
00:26:58Don't be afraid.
00:27:01Olivia, I finally found you.
00:27:02Captain Lou, showing up uninvited is hardly the conduct of a gentleman.
00:27:07Mr. Chen, I just want to say a few words to Olivia.
00:27:09My heart is pounding so fast.
00:27:10He looks so gaunt.
00:27:11Now, Olivia, what are you thinking?
00:27:11It's over between you and him.
00:27:12It's over.
00:27:13Mr. Lou, my Fiona has nothing to discuss with you.
00:27:15Olivia, I know the person who saved me 10 years ago was you, not Sophie!
00:27:18Jason, I've remembered everything!
00:27:21Carl, please escort Mr. Lou out.
00:27:24Please, just give me five minutes.
00:27:27I said let go!
00:27:36Cold?
00:27:38How could he know?
00:27:39That doesn't matter.
00:27:40What matters is, do you want to see him?
00:27:42I don't know.
00:27:43I hate him, but seeing him like that, it still hurts.
00:27:46Am I pathetic?
00:27:51Listen to me.
00:27:52You don't need to make a decision right now.
00:27:53But remember this.
00:27:54You are Mrs. Kin.
00:27:58You have every right to refuse anyone or anything that makes you uncomfortable.
00:28:01Edward, why are you being so kind to me?
00:28:04Because you're Olivia Lynn.
00:28:05That's reason enough.
00:28:08Go back inside.
00:28:09I'll handle the rest.
00:28:11Get out!
00:28:12Stay out!
00:28:12You're not welcome here!
00:28:18Sir, Mr. Robert Lynn has been hospitalized with a sudden heart attack.
00:28:20His condition is stable for now, but Miss Sophie is insisting that you return to the country immediately to take
00:28:23charge of things.
00:28:25Understood.
00:28:28Olivia, once I've dealt with things back home, I will come find you again.
00:28:30I promise.
00:28:34Lucas Liu took a flight back to China at seven this morning.
00:28:37Additionally, our people have confirmed that Mr. Robert Lynn was indeed admitted to the hospital last night with an acute
00:28:41myocardial infotection.
00:28:42He is currently in the ICU.
00:28:44Mrs. Sophie has been weeping to the media outside the hospital on multiple occasions.
00:28:46What's that?
00:28:47I'm implying that the eldest daughter is neglecting her gravely ill father by staying overseas.
00:28:55Has the story been contained?
00:28:56On the European side, yes.
00:28:58But on domestic social media, it's starting to gain some traction.
00:29:02Prepare the private jet, but there's no rush.
00:29:05First, let Olivia know her father is out of danger.
00:29:07Hold off on the other details for now.
00:29:08Sir, are you concerned that Miss Lynn might act impulsively and rush back, walking right into a trap?
00:29:11Getting Lucas to return was Sophie's first move.
00:29:13Her next step will be to force Olivia back.
00:29:15I'd wager there are already reporters camped outside that hospital room.
00:29:22She needs time to think clearly.
00:29:24And she needs a legitimate reason to go back.
00:29:25One she can't refuse.
00:29:29Your father was hospitalized last night.
00:29:31What?
00:29:33Acute myocardial infection.
00:29:34But he's out of danger now.
00:29:35His condition is stable.
00:29:38I need to go back.
00:29:41Hear me out.
00:29:42Sophie is stationed at the hospital right now and at least three media outlets are staking out the place.
00:29:44If you rush back now, what will you accomplish besides being photographed for a story about the devoted younger daughter
00:29:48caring for her island father?
00:29:50While the eldest daughter scambles back for a pubicility stunt?
00:29:53Is he stopping me?
00:29:54No, he's right.
00:29:54Sophie must have I not go back.
00:29:55But how can I trap that?
00:29:58I've already arranged for the best cardiology specialist to conduct a remote consultation.
00:30:01Your father's treatment plan will be flawless.
00:30:02That's my father.
00:30:05Olivia, do you trust me?
00:30:08Yes.
00:30:10Then leave it to me.
00:30:11I will make sure you return to see your father with your head held high and your dignity intact.
00:30:17Lucas, you're finally back.
00:30:19Dad was just asking about you.
00:30:22How is he?
00:30:23Doctor says he's stable for now, but he needs rest and can't be upset again.
00:30:26Sis, is she still unreachable?
00:30:29I'll go see him.
00:30:30As for Olivia, her business is no longer your concern.
00:30:32No longer my concern?
00:30:34Lucas, she's Edward Quinn's fiancé now.
00:30:36And you're still thinking about her?
00:30:39Sophie, what happened ten years ago?
00:30:40We both know the truth.
00:30:41Stop the act.
00:30:43You can't run away from it forever.
00:30:44It's exhausting.
00:30:49Change of plans.
00:30:50Lucas is getting suspicious.
00:30:51Wait for Olivia to return.
00:30:52Proceed with plan B.
00:30:53Target the Quinn Group's Asia's Propistic Operations.
00:30:57Can I tease like this, Dave?
00:31:01Take a look at this.
00:31:03This is a critical node in the Asia-Pisic Logistics Hub.
00:31:06You're determined to win this?
00:31:07Absolutely.
00:31:08But the competition is fierce.
00:31:10Especially the Zhao Group.
00:31:11They have deep roots in China.
00:31:13The Zhao Group?
00:31:15Sophie's mother's family?
00:31:17Exactly.
00:31:18That's why I need someone to go to China in person as the future lady of the Xin family
00:31:21to oversee and secure this project.
00:31:24You want me to return to China under the pretext of a business negotiation?
00:31:28Not just return.
00:31:30Return with victory and prestige.
00:31:31By then, no one will remember petty gossip.
00:31:33All they'll see is that the eldest daughter of the Lin family,
00:31:35the fiancé of the Qin Kansushin, is a woman of extraordinary capability.
00:31:37He's paving the way for me.
00:31:38In the most dignified and possible.
00:31:41I'll need the complete project files,
00:31:43a vulnerability analysis on the Zhao Group, and
00:31:45one week.
00:31:45Carl has already prepared everything.
00:31:47The jet leaves first thing tomorrow morning.
00:31:49Olivia, show me what you can do.
00:31:52Edward, this time, I won't let you down.
00:31:55Miss Lin, the person the Qin Consortium is sending is Olivia Lin, your sister.
00:32:00How interesting.
00:32:01Interesting?
00:32:02Mr. Zhao Hao, she's Edward Xin's woman now.
00:32:05If she lands this project, she'll have cemented her position in the Qin family for good.
00:32:08And then where does that leave us?
00:32:11So what do you suggest?
00:32:12The project data, we can make some minor adjustments.
00:32:15At the negotiating table, we arrange a little accident for her.
00:32:17I want her crawling back to Zurich in disgrace.
00:32:19Better yet, never coming back at all.
00:32:22Edward Xin is not someone to be trifled with.
00:32:24Which is exactly why it needs to be clean.
00:32:25Once it's done, the Zhao Group gets the project, and I get what I want.
00:32:27A win-win, wouldn't you say?
00:32:34The Qin Consortium's advantage lies not only in capital investment,
00:32:37but more importantly in our proven European green port management experience.
00:32:40This is our carbon reduction data model from the port of Rotterham,
00:32:43which can be directly adapted to meet the upgrade requirements of Hoodoo Port.
00:32:47Data models?
00:32:47Mrs. Lin, it's easy to theorize you on paper.
00:32:49The Zhao Group has been deeply rooted in Asia-Pacific for decades.
00:32:52Hands-on operational experience is what the port authority values most.
00:32:57Of course, experience is invaluable.
00:32:59That's precisely why our proposal includes a comprehensive joint operation framework
00:33:02with the leading local operator, the Chen Group.
00:33:04Chen Group has confirmed they will form a joint team with the Qin Consimption.
00:33:09Just as I expected.
00:33:11The Zhao Group is trying to strong-arm us with their seniority.
00:33:14Good thing I secured Aunt Catherine's support in advance.
00:33:15But that assistant on their side keeps staring at the data Apogex pages.
00:33:18Something feels off.
00:33:21Sir, things seem to be progressing smoothly on Ms. Lin's end.
00:33:24She's noticed something wrong with the data Apogex.
00:33:26The Zhao Group's people are reacting strangely.
00:33:28Olivia, watch out.
00:33:29They may have planned to landmine the data.
00:33:36Focus verification on Appendix 3, pages 7 through 9, to the data sources.
00:33:40Appendix 3.
00:33:41Pay special attention to the base parameters of the port through-hook fee course model.
00:33:47The base parameters reference Aireta corrected data.
00:33:50If this gets adopted in the final proposal, it will cause catastrophic deviations in later phases.
00:33:57Olivia, the Zhao family is dead set on taking this project.
00:34:00Their connections with certain people in the port authority run deeper than you think.
00:34:05And that sister of yours has been getting awfully close to the Zhao family lately.
00:34:09I anticipated as much.
00:34:11Auntie, I need a favor.
00:34:13Name it.
00:34:14I need a completely imperdent authoritative port traffic and carbon emission forecast analysis.
00:34:18It needs to be done quickly, and the source must be absolutely clean.
00:34:21Olivia, you've truly grown up.
00:34:24All right, Auntie, we'll take care of it.
00:34:27Well handled.
00:34:28I know the Nanyang Polytechnic team, top tier.
00:34:31Authorize Carl to cover the cost directly.
00:34:35Edward, how did you know there was a problem with the data?
00:34:36That detail in Appendix 3, even my technical consultant didn't catch it on the first path.
00:34:40The Keen Consortium's intelligence network is more thorough than you might imagine.
00:34:42The Zhao group likes to use this trick.
00:34:44It's not their first time.
00:34:45Is it really just the intelligence network?
00:34:47I keep feeling like he somehow knew exactly what I was thinking.
00:34:51The second round of negotiations is in one week.
00:34:53Until the new data is ready, avoid any direct confrontation with the Zhao group.
00:34:56Take care of yourself.
00:34:56I will.
00:34:57And you, don't stay up too late.
00:35:02Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
00:35:08She found out?
00:35:09How is that possible?
00:35:11That trap was so well hidden.
00:35:14Our man inside the Port Authority says the Chin team pulled the original research reports of RECA records today.
00:35:19Olivia also went to see that old woman from the Chin family.
00:35:21They're definitely looking for replacement data.
00:35:22We can't let her turn this around.
00:35:23The second round of negotiations, we can't just play defense.
00:35:27We need to go on the offensive.
00:35:28She's representing the Sin Consumption, isn't she?
00:35:32What if some negative news suddenly surfaced about the Chin group's European ports?
00:35:35Wouldn't that undermine her credibility?
00:35:37You want to go after Edward Quinn's foundation?
00:35:39That's too risky.
00:35:40We're not actually trying to shake the Quinn Empire.
00:35:42We just need small-scale rumors.
00:35:43Just enough rumors to plant seeds of doubt in the Port Authority's minds.
00:35:46Mr. Zhao, isn't media warfare your specialty?
00:35:52Ms. Lin, that story coming out of Europe today about the Sin group, clearly nonsense, of course.
00:35:55Still, these kinds of rumors do tend to shake confidence just a little, don't they?
00:36:01Nonsense indeed, which is exactly why the Chin Consumption responded so swiftly.
00:36:04In fact, if you check your phones right now, you should have already received the Quinn Group's global press statement.
00:36:11I didn't expect the Chin Group to respond this fast.
00:36:14Trying to smear the Sin Consortium to tarnish their image with the Port Authority?
00:36:17The Zhao Group really will stoop to anything.
00:36:19To be honest, rather than wasting energy on rumors, we'd much prefer to focus on the project itself,
00:36:22delivering a tangible green upgrade plan for Huatu Port.
00:36:25For instance, we've just secured an exclusive data authorization from a top global research institution.
00:36:30Nanyang Technological University's latest research.
00:36:32I believe the experts here can appreciate the value of that report, far bet I can.
00:36:44All done?
00:36:45Ma'am.
00:36:46How are you here already? I thought you weren't arriving until tomorrow.
00:36:49Fisit, mon iga.
00:36:51Finished my business early, so I changed my flight.
00:36:54You've lost weight.
00:36:55Haven't been eating properly?
00:36:57That's the first thing he notices. He sounds like a parent.
00:37:01Food first.
00:37:02We can talk about the project over dinner.
00:37:07More and more like a married couple.
00:37:10I swallowed my pride and went to see Edward Sin personally.
00:37:12In exchange, the Liu family stays neutral on the Asia-Pacific project.
00:37:14Son, you need to understand, Olivia has chosen Edward. You cannot interfere in this.
00:37:18I owe her! I was a fool! I was wrong!
00:37:20Dad, I can't just give up like this!
00:37:22Sometimes, letting go is the kindest thing you can do for her.
00:37:24That Sophie girl has a dark heart.
00:37:26The sooner you see her for what she is, the better.
00:37:28Don't go stirring up more trouble.
00:37:31Lucas, your dear sister and Edward Chin are all over town together.
00:37:33Their photos are already in the local financial press.
00:37:37Are you really okay with this?
00:37:40The second round of negotiations is essentially locked down.
00:37:43Thank you for the data support.
00:37:44You fought that. Battle yourself.
00:37:51His hand is so warm. I feel safe.
00:37:53Is this what it feels like to be truly chosen by someone?
00:37:55Olivia.
00:37:56Hmm?
00:37:56When this project is over, let's hold a proper engagement ceremony.
00:37:59Not a contract. A real engagement.
00:38:01Will you?
00:38:04Yes.
00:38:05Yes.
00:38:10They're actually holding a formal engagement?
00:38:12My entire plan is ruined!
00:38:13We can't secure the project.
00:38:14And on top of that, Edward and Olivia's relationship is only growing stronger.
00:38:16Ms. Lynn, your brilliant scheme doesn't seem to be working.
00:38:19There's one last card to play, Lucas.
00:38:20Once he sees these photos, he won't be able to sit still.
00:38:21As long as he knows Olivia is here,
00:38:22it'll be easy to stage a rekindled romance between them.
00:38:24And someone as proud as Edward Chin,
00:38:26do you think he'd tolerate his fianchi having someone else in her heart?
00:38:28So you want to use Lucas to drive a wedge between them?
00:38:30To be precise, I want Edward to push her away with his own hands.
00:38:33And that's not all.
00:38:34I'm going to make the project Olivia's leading fall apart at the last moment.
00:38:36She thinks she's so capable?
00:38:37Let's see just how capable she really is.
00:38:42Sis has an environmental forum at the Marina Bay Arts Center today.
00:38:44She's going alone.
00:38:45As long as Olivia's back, I still have a chance.
00:38:50Lucas, how did you...
00:38:53Olivia, don't be afraid.
00:38:54Just let me say a few things, and then I'll go.
00:38:58I know I have no right to say any of this,
00:38:59but I have to tell you in person,
00:39:00the debt I owe,
00:39:01everything I've put you through since we were children,
00:39:02everything Sophie has done.
00:39:03I know it all now.
00:39:04I'm sorry.
00:39:05I'm truly sorry.
00:39:06Lucas, I don't care about any of that anymore.
00:39:08No, you do care!
00:39:09You've just hidden your heart away!
00:39:10Olivia, give me a chance to make it right.
00:39:12Even if it's just letting me watch over you from a distance.
00:39:17Enough, Lucas!
00:39:18All I want now is to put the past behind me for good.
00:39:20Why do you keep showing up and disrupted my life?
00:39:23Wait here.
00:39:25Captain Lou, it seems my warning from last time didn't quite sink in.
00:39:28Edward!
00:39:29This is between me and Olivia!
00:39:31There is nothing between you anymore.
00:39:32She is my fiancée.
00:39:34Olivia, are you doing this of your own free will?
00:39:36Or is it because of family pressure?
00:39:37If it is, I'll take you away.
00:39:38I don't want anything else anymore.
00:39:39I only want you.
00:39:40Lucas, listen carefully.
00:39:41I married Edward Quinn of my own free will.
00:39:43Not because of family.
00:39:45Not because of pressure.
00:39:46Yeah, okay.
00:39:47Because I want to start a new life with him.
00:39:49Please, do not come disturb us again.
00:39:51Edward, let's go.
00:39:54Have I truly lost you?
00:40:01So Mrs. Quinn is still in contact with her ex-fiancée?
00:40:03Isn't this basically having a foot in two boats?
00:40:06Poor Mr. Quinn, taken for a fool, hasn't he?
00:40:10Sophie again.
00:40:11Won't she be satisfied until she's completely destroyed me?
00:40:15Stop looking at that.
00:40:16It's garbage.
00:40:17I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again.
00:40:19Will these rumors affect the King Group?
00:40:24Olivia, look at me.
00:40:25You have never been trouble.
00:40:26You are my fiancée.
00:40:27The person who will stand by my side.
00:40:29These despicable tactics can't touch us.
00:40:33Sir, the PR department has activated the contingency plan,
00:40:35and cease and desist letters are being sent out as we speak.
00:40:37Additionally, we've traced the initial leak to several marketing accounts
00:40:39whose funding trails all lead to an offshore shell company.
00:40:41The registered information is linked to the Jiao Group.
00:40:44Just as I thought.
00:40:47Keep digging.
00:40:48Build an airtight chain of evidence.
00:40:49This time I'll make sure they choke on their own scheme.
00:40:54Sir, per your instructions, after a thorough investigation,
00:40:56we've confirmed the news leak did originate from Miss Sophie.
00:40:59Furthermore, we've discovered that her contact frequency with Raymond Joe
00:41:01has increased dramatically over the past month, and...
00:41:03Say it.
00:41:03And they've repeatedly referenced keywords like port data
00:41:05and system vulnerabilities in their communications.
00:41:07Here is a partial transcript of their recorded calls.
00:41:11They're going after the Quinn Group's project,
00:41:13and the target is Olivia.
00:41:15Sir, if we hand this evidence over to the police or to Edward Kinn,
00:41:18not yet.
00:41:21Encrypt all these files and keep them secured.
00:41:23Keep a close watch on Sophie,
00:41:25especially any contact she has with the Xiao Group's, the tech personnel.
00:41:27Yes, sir.
00:41:28Also, your father called just now, asking when you plan to return to the airline.
00:41:31Tell him when I've finished what I need to do.
00:41:36Olivia, this time, I won't let anyone hurt you again.
00:41:39Even if it means staying in the shadow.
00:41:45How's the project data review coming along?
00:41:46All the base parameters have been updated.
00:41:47The model is much more robust now.
00:41:48Edward, thank you for alerting me to that trap.
00:41:52Why so formal all of a sudden?
00:41:54I just feel like you always seem to anticipate problems before they happen.
00:41:58I just feel like you're always one step ahead.
00:42:04That tiny pause just now, was that my imagination?
00:42:08When you've been in business long enough, you develop a sensitivity to certain patterns.
00:42:17The venue for the engagement banquet has been decided.
00:42:19The Lakeside Manor.
00:42:20You like being near the water, I remember.
00:42:24How did you know that-
00:42:25Your study is full of lake scenery photographs and art books, and
00:42:29you once said that the happiest time of your childhood was waiting by the lake
00:42:32for your father to come home.
00:42:36I told you that?
00:42:39No, you didn't.
00:42:40These are all from you in my dreams, and I'm certain they're real.
00:42:43Perhaps it was in a dream.
00:42:46Something about the way he's talking tonight feels strange.
00:42:48But those eyes, why do they feel so familiar?
00:42:52Olivia.
00:42:54Hmm?
00:42:54I may not be able to accompany you for the third and final round of negotiations.
00:42:57I need to return to Zorik briefly.
00:42:59But don't worry.
00:43:00I'll be with you at all times.
00:43:03All right.
00:43:04Don't worry about me.
00:43:05I can handle it.
00:43:11Sir, as per your instructions, our people have confirmed that the Zhao Group has indeed
00:43:14been attempting to tamper with the transmission chain of certain environmental assessment data.
00:43:19Good.
00:43:20Hold off for now.
00:43:22Don't make a move.
00:43:23Additionally, Captain Liu has been privately investigating the dealings between Sophie and
00:43:26the Zhao Group.
00:43:27The private investigator he's hired is quite skilled.
00:43:29He's already obtained partial evidence.
00:43:31Should we intervene?
00:43:32No need.
00:43:34As long as he doesn't disturb Olivia, let him be.
00:43:36Perhaps this time he'll prove to be a worthy player.
00:43:42Miss Lin, the data looks impressive.
00:43:45But I do have a question last year.
00:43:46The Sheen Group's Port of Rotterdam was called into question by a local environmental organization
00:43:49over data authenticity.
00:43:53How can we be sure the same issue won't arise this time?
00:43:56Regarding the inquiry Mr.
00:43:58Sheo mentioned, the Quinn Consortium issued a full clarification report three months ago.
00:44:02The report confirms that the Port of Rotterdam's data fully complies with the highest EU standards.
00:44:08As for the environmental organization you referenced, it was subsequently revealed to have
00:44:11financial ties to a competitor.
00:44:12Even so, the appletability of cross-border data.
00:44:16Which is precisely why we've incorporated a six-month localization adaptation period into
00:44:20our proposal.
00:44:20During this phase, the Tina Kinn Consortium will station a dedicated technical team here
00:44:23in China to work hand-in-hand with the Port Authority, ensuring a flawless transition.
00:44:26What we seek is not merely winning a bid, but building a lasting, stable, and trust-based
00:44:30partnership.
00:44:34Ms. Lin has been remarkably thorough.
00:44:44Sir, latest update.
00:44:45Sophie met with a data engineer from the Zhao Group at a cafe this morning.
00:44:48Our people photographed them exchanging a USB drive.
00:44:50Can we get the contents of that drive?
00:44:51It'll be difficult, but we can try.
00:44:52We've also discovered that Sophie has recently been in contact with an underground data trading
00:44:55organization called Blackstone.
00:44:57She may be trying to acquire more advanced hacking tools.
00:44:59She wants to completely destroy the project, and she's willing to break the law to do it.
00:45:03Should we go to the police?
00:45:04Not yet.
00:45:05The evidence chain isn't airtight.
00:45:06What about Edward Quinn's side?
00:45:08Any movement?
00:45:09The Kinn Group security team seems to be aware of the situation as well.
00:45:11They've recently stepped up monitoring of the project servers, but strangely they haven't
00:45:14blocked the Zhao Group's initiation attempts.
00:45:16Instead, it's almost like they're watching and waiting.
00:45:18Watching and waiting?
00:45:19What is Edward waiting for?
00:45:22Good to see you.
00:45:23You as well.
00:45:24Olivia, you look more radiant than you ever were when you were with me.
00:45:31Sophie has made contact with the Blackstone organization.
00:45:33Target, Orsocrate, and have data incident at hold position for now.
00:45:36Collect a complete evidence.
00:45:37Edward, you even know about this.
00:45:39How much else do you know?
00:45:40Are you truly protecting Olivia, or do you have another agenda?
00:45:44I'll continue building the evidence chain, but if she's in danger, I won't stand by and
00:45:47do nothing.
00:45:55Raymond made his move today, just as expected.
00:45:58But I shut him down.
00:45:59The tech team also confirmed that Raymond arranged for someone to send the Trojan.
00:46:02Per your instructions, we've left it untouched for now.
00:46:04Well done.
00:46:06Leaving the Trojan in place gives them a false sense of security.
00:46:08But Olivia, you need to be extra careful over the next few days.
00:46:12You think they'll get desperate?
00:46:14Sophie's personality, she won't stop until she gets what she wants.
00:46:16If they can't sabotage the project, they may shift their focus to you personally.
00:46:20What else can she do to me?
00:46:22Spread more rumors?
00:46:24Or send Lucas to rattle me?
00:46:25Lucas, he's been secretly investigating Sophie.
00:46:29He has?
00:46:30Why?
00:46:30Perhaps guilt.
00:46:32Perhaps he's finally come to his senses.
00:46:34The evidence he's gathering works in our favor.
00:46:36Edward, sometimes I feel like you seem to know everything.
00:46:38Even things I don't know.
00:46:40Olivia, after the engagement banquet, there are some things I want to tell you.
00:46:45What things?
00:46:46About why I chose you.
00:46:48And why.
00:46:49I've always felt that ours shouldn't have been a first meeting.
00:46:51So he feels it too.
00:46:52Those moments of deja vu, they weren't just in my imagination.
00:46:54Get some rest.
00:46:55I'll fly over the day after tomorrow to be with you, for the final phase of the project.
00:46:58Okay.
00:46:59Be safe on the way.
00:47:04Edward, what secret are you hiding?
00:47:06Why do I feel more and more that your gaze has crossed through time itself?
00:47:09As if you've known me a thousand times before.
00:47:16Here's the deposit.
00:47:17Where's what I asked for?
00:47:18A customized data destruction program.
00:47:20It can lock down the target server at a designated time and disguise the attack as a systemic crash.
00:47:25Recovery would take at least 72 hours.
00:47:28The program is on this drive.
00:47:29Instructions and the encryption key are on a dark web link.
00:47:31Perfect.
00:47:35Mr. Carl, the fish has taken the bait.
00:47:36The program is a neutered version.
00:47:37It will only trigger an alert.
00:47:38No actual damage.
00:47:38Good.
00:47:39Keep watching.
00:47:40Yes, sir.
00:47:46Sir, these are the transaction records of purchase of illegal hacking software,
00:47:49along with photos of her meeting with members of the Blackstone organization.
00:47:52Additionally, we intercepted a call between her and Raymond Zhao last night.
00:47:55They're planning to activate the program on the day of the engagement banquet.
00:47:58The target is the Kin Group's project data center here in China.
00:48:01She's lost her mind.
00:48:03This is a criminal offense.
00:48:04The evidence chain is now complete.
00:48:05We can go to the police.
00:48:07No, not yet.
00:48:08Edward must have his own plan in motion.
00:48:10If we act rashly, we might throw off his entire strategy.
00:48:14I need you to do something for me.
00:48:16Name it.
00:48:17Anonymously send the key portions of these transaction records to Edward Kin's butler, Carl.
00:48:20Don't reveal our identity.
00:48:21You're not going to contact Edward directly?
00:48:23If I reach out to him now, he may not trust me.
00:48:24But Carl is a cautious man.
00:48:26Once he sees the evidence, he'll verify it.
00:48:28Olivia's safety.
00:48:29There's no room for even the slightest mistake.
00:48:34Olivia, if I had recognized you first back then, if I hadn't been blinded by lies, would
00:48:38things have been different for us?
00:48:40But there are no what-ifs in this world this time.
00:48:42All I wish is for you to be safe and happy.
00:48:43Even if the one standing beside you is no longer me.
00:48:48Sir, we just received an encrypted email with no signature.
00:48:51It contains transaction records of Sophie's purchase of the illegal program, as well as the
00:48:55exact time they plan to launch the attack during the engagement banquet.
00:48:59Consistent with our own intelligence.
00:49:00Can you trace the source?
00:49:01It's extremely difficult.
00:49:02The technical methods used are very professional.
00:49:05Not the work of an amateur.
00:49:06It's Lucas.
00:49:07Proceed with the original plan.
00:49:08Set up the net at the data center.
00:49:10Yes, sir.
00:49:10Also, should we increase security around Ms. Lin?
00:49:13She doesn't like being overly protected.
00:49:15Just keep the shadow detail close.
00:49:17I'm flying to China tomorrow.
00:49:19Before the engagement banquet, I want to be by her side.
00:49:23The main ceremony area is set by the lake, with a natural water view as backbrock.
00:49:26In the evening, there will be a synchronized fountain and light show.
00:49:28Here's the concept rendering.
00:49:29It's beautiful.
00:49:30How did he know I love Iris?
00:49:32Mr. Quinn specifically requested them.
00:49:33He said that when you were little, waiting by the lake, you loved watching the wildesters
00:49:36along the shore.
00:49:36He even knows that.
00:49:37Mr. Quinn is very attentive to your preferences.
00:49:39He even reviewed the menu personally.
00:49:41And removed several ingredients you don't care for.
00:49:44Edward, you really did your homework, but why don't I feel the least bit intruded upon?
00:49:46If anything, I'm a little happy.
00:49:50Checking out the venue?
00:49:51Mm-hmm.
00:49:52How did you know?
00:49:53Just a guess.
00:49:53Do you like it?
00:49:54I love it.
00:49:55Especially the irises.
00:49:56I knew you would.
00:49:57When do you arrive?
00:49:59Already on my way.
00:50:00Landing in three hours.
00:50:01Olivia.
00:50:03Hmm?
00:50:04Wait for me.
00:50:09This time, I won't choose wrong again.
00:50:14Congratulations to Ms. Olivia Lin, representative of the Gene Consortium,
00:50:16for securing the partnership with the Port Authority.
00:50:18We believe that in the future...
00:50:22Olivia!
00:50:23We've lost.
00:50:23Olivia has secured the partnership.
00:50:25What now?
00:50:26I won't let her have her moment of glory.
00:50:28So what if she won the deal?
00:50:29I have plenty of ways to destroy her reputation.
00:50:31The engagement banquet is my last chance.
00:50:33Let's see who has the last laugh.
00:50:37Dad, I'm home.
00:50:38Are you feeling better?
00:50:39I'm sorry.
00:50:40You're home.
00:50:41That's all that matters.
00:50:42You've lost weight.
00:50:43You must have had a hard time out there.
00:50:47Edward told me everything about what happened online.
00:50:48It was Sophie's doing.
00:50:49I failed to raise her properly, and I put you through so much.
00:50:51It's not your fault.
00:50:52She chose her own path.
00:50:54Edward is a man you can trust.
00:50:55He's done more for you than you even realize.
00:50:56The biggest regret of my life is pushing you into that situation in the first place.
00:50:59Now that I see you've found someone who truly cherishes you, I can finally be at peace.
00:51:04This is from your mother.
00:51:06She wanted to give it to you herself on the day you got married.
00:51:08Now Dad is giving it to you on her behalf.
00:51:10She said she hoped her daughter would never sacrifice self for anyone.
00:51:16Thank you, Dad.
00:51:17Sir, as per your instructions, certain people have been keeping close watch on Miss Sophie and Raymond Jowell.
00:51:21They've been in frequent contact with a company called Brilliant AV Services.
00:51:24And that company happens to be one of the audio-visual suppliers for Mr. Kin's engagement banquet.
00:51:28Just as I thought they won't give up.
00:51:29Has all the evidence been secured?
00:51:30Yes, sir.
00:51:31Including their financial transactions and a recording of their attempt to buy the technician at Brilliant AV.
00:51:37Send these files anonymously to Edward Seen's butler, Carl.
00:51:40Make absolutely certain he receives them.
00:51:42Yes, sir!
00:51:46Sir, another encrypted email just came in.
00:51:48Same sender as before.
00:51:50What's in the video?
00:51:51Mostly spliced photos of Miss Lin and Captain Lou from the past.
00:51:53Some old interviews taken out of Conquest and an AI-generated audio clip of Miss Lin
00:51:56carefully claiming she was forced into the Marriage Alliance.
00:51:57I didn't do this winningly.
00:51:59At Breakinson.
00:52:00Idiots.
00:52:01Do they really think this pathetic trick could fool anyone?
00:52:03Shall we report this to the police immediately or replace the supplier?
00:52:05No.
00:52:06We play along.
00:52:07Let them proceed with their plan.
00:52:08But when the time comes, what gets played will be up to us.
00:52:12Sophie, since you insist on staging this little performance, I'll build you the grandest stage
00:52:15possible.
00:52:16Only the ending won't be the one you had in mind.
00:52:21Team A, confirm target Sophie Lin has entered the venue.
00:52:23Position we west side, third row of the banquet hall.
00:52:24Keep eyes on the brilliant AV control station.
00:52:26We have full control.
00:52:27Stand by for the switch at any time.
00:52:28Mr. Carl, the backup video is ready.
00:52:29The accidental playback command originally set to trigger during the ring exchange has
00:52:31been replaced by ours.
00:52:32Just do the work.
00:52:33Team B, report on Raymond Zhao's status.
00:52:35Raymond Zhao has entered our surveillance zone.
00:52:36The moment he inserts the data, we can move in for apprehension.
00:52:38Good.
00:52:39Wait for Mr. Quinn's signal.
00:52:41Remember, let their little act reach just the right moment before we close the net.
00:52:50I'm going to watch you fall from the clouds with my own eyes.
00:52:52Will Edward Chin still want a fiancé who's been publicly humiliated?
00:52:54One who has another man in her heart?
00:52:56Huh.
00:52:59If Lucas doesn't show up soon, he's going to miss quite a show.
00:53:02Then again, without Lucas, the performance might be even more pure.
00:53:05Don't blame me, sis.
00:53:07Blame yourself for wanting everything.
00:53:09When everything you wanted was supposed to be mine.
00:53:18Distinguished guests, today we gather to witness the engagement of Mr. Edward Chin and
00:53:21Olivia Lin.
00:53:23At this moment, would the couple please exchange their engagement rings, symbols of love and
00:53:26commitment.
00:53:27Edward, don't let me down.
00:53:29Sophie and Raymond should have made their move by now.
00:53:31Our people have spotted Raymond Zhao at the King Group's Project Data Center.
00:53:35Keep eyes on him.
00:53:36The moment he makes a move, take him down.
00:53:41The moment they exchange rings, I want the big screen to play a specially edited video.
00:53:47I want to tear off her mask of happiness in front of every single guest.
00:53:50What about Edward Chin?
00:53:52Powerful as he is, can he really suppress this in front of the city's entire elite?
00:53:55What?
00:53:56No!
00:53:57That's not...
00:53:58Turn it off!
00:53:59Turn it off now!
00:54:01This isn't what it looks like!
00:54:10Mr. Zhao, I've been waiting for you.
00:54:12I...
00:54:12I confess.
00:54:17It seems someone has prepared a very special gift for us tonight.
00:54:20Very well.
00:54:21Allow me to take this opportunity to make a solemn declaration.
00:54:24Olivia Lin is the one and only choice of my life.
00:54:26A treasure I pursued with everything I have.
00:54:28Anyone who attempts to slander her or harm her, Edward Kinn, is making an enemy of me and the entire
00:54:32Kinn consumption.
00:54:33Today, the law will deliver the punishment that wrongdoers deserved.
00:54:37And now...
00:54:38Olivia, will you marry me?
00:54:40Not because of an agreement.
00:54:41Not because of interest.
00:54:42Simply because you are you.
00:54:43And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
00:54:45Yes.
00:54:47I will.
00:54:48No.
00:54:49I won't lose.
00:54:50I won't lose.
00:54:52Dad!
00:54:54You are no daughter of mine.
00:54:57I won't lose.
00:54:59Dad!
00:55:00Even you won't stand by me?
00:55:02Am I not your daughter too?
00:55:04Why do you always favor her?
00:55:07Always that wretched woman!
00:55:08What did you just say?
00:55:10What did you just say?
00:55:11Ever since we were children, whatever she wanted, whatever she wanted, whatever she liked, you gave it to her!
00:55:15But I had to be perfect!
00:55:17Had to please you before I dared ask for anything!
00:55:19How is that fair?
00:55:21Enough!
00:55:22You don't deserve to be compared to Olivia!
00:55:25I saw the darkness in your heart from the very beginning!
00:55:29That's why I was strict with you!
00:55:31I hope that one day you'd learn from your sister.
00:55:34But you!
00:55:35Not only have you refused to change, you've only revealed more of your true nature!
00:55:43Dad!
00:55:45Carl, restrain Sophie.
00:55:47Now.
00:55:47Yes, sir!
00:55:51Dad!
00:55:52Are you alright?
00:55:54Daddy, Dad!
00:55:56Olivia to the hospital.
00:55:57It's likely his heart condition relapsing.
00:55:58Okay.
00:56:02Let go of me!
00:56:05Who do you people think you are?
00:56:10Olivia, your father will be fine.
00:56:12I've already brought in the best cardiac medical team in the world.
00:56:14Thank you, Edward.
00:56:15You're always there when I need you most.
00:56:16The truth is, I've always been here.
00:56:20You?
00:56:22Could it be that he was reborn too?
00:56:24I.
00:56:27Olivia, are you alright?
00:56:28How is your father?
00:56:30Lucas.
00:56:32I'm fine.
00:56:33Captain Lou?
00:56:33You certainly get news fast.
00:56:38Sophie's plan has failed.
00:56:39Chairman Lin has had a sudden heart attack.
00:56:41Mr. Quinn, when it comes to speed, how could I possibly compare to you?
00:56:43True.
00:56:44I was just a step ahead.
00:56:47What are you two talking about?
00:56:50Nothing, Olivia.
00:56:51You must be exhausted today.
00:56:53Shall I arrange a room for you to rest?
00:56:56No.
00:56:57I want to wait until my father comes out.
00:56:59Alright.
00:57:00Then I'll stay with you.
00:57:01Olivia, could I have a word with you alone?
00:57:02I promise.
00:57:03I'm not here to bother you.
00:57:06Whatever you want to say, say it in front of Edward.
00:57:08He and I have no secrets.
00:57:10Olivia, she truly trusts me.
00:57:11It's time to find the right moment to tell her the truth.
00:57:13What I wanted to say is, I'm leaving.
00:57:16I've applied for a transfer.
00:57:17A transfer?
00:57:18Was it my father's idea, or?
00:57:19It was my own decision.
00:57:20Mr. Lin knows my intentions, and my father has agreed as well.
00:57:24Mr. Quinn, Olivia and I are over.
00:57:26I hope you'll take good care of her.
00:57:28On the day of your wedding, I will make sure to send a grand gift.
00:57:31That's kind of you, Captain Liu.
00:57:32But even without your gift, I will never shortchange Olivia in any way.
00:57:38Sir, Raymond Zhao has been taken to the police station.
00:57:40All our evidence has been submitted.
00:57:42Sophie and Raymond Zhao have both been taken to the police station.
00:57:44All evidence in our possession has been turned over.
00:57:49You two are acting so strange today.
00:57:52Doctor, how is my father?
00:57:54Mr. Lin has just undergone a successful cardiac bypass surgery.
00:57:57He is now out of danger.
00:57:58Mr. Chin, please rest assured.
00:57:59The old Wandelman will make a full recovery.
00:58:01Good.
00:58:02Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Zhang.
00:58:04It's my duty.
00:58:07Thank God.
00:58:13You win, Miss Perfect.
00:58:15Sophie, I'm here to ask you to confess, to tell everything you know.
00:58:17It could reduce your sentence.
00:58:18Were there Zhao Group moles inside the Lin Group?
00:58:20Or were you the mole who drove the company to the brink of ruin?
00:58:23Olivia, you really are hopelessly naive.
00:58:26Even if I knew, why on earth would I tell you?
00:58:28You're still the same gullible little girl you were as a child.
00:58:32The Zhao Group has already hired a lawyer for Raymond.
00:58:34If you don't protect yourself, I'm afraid no one else will be able to help you.
00:58:37Help?
00:58:38Olivia, you're here to gloat.
00:58:39Why bother putting on this saintly act?
00:58:42I'm in here because of you.
00:58:43Isn't that right?
00:58:44Yes, I know your arrest was orchestrated by Edward behind the scenes.
00:58:46I can't think of anyone else with that kind of capability.
00:58:50But isn't all of this a consequence of your own actions?
00:58:52Olivia, don't celebrate too soon.
00:58:54A man like Edward's scene will devour you until there's nothing left, not even bones.
00:58:56Whatever he wants, whatever he decides to do, it takes him no time at all.
00:59:00And you?
00:59:01Do you truly understand what goes on inside his mind?
00:59:06Don't bother trying to drive a wedge between us.
00:59:08What happens between Edward and me is my business.
00:59:09Right now, it's your situation that needs to be resolved.
00:59:12Save your breath.
00:59:13I won't say a word.
00:59:14I know nothing about the Lynn Group's affairs.
00:59:16Sophie Lynn, sit down!
00:59:17Olivia, there are some people you'll never be able to catch.
00:59:20Hey.
00:59:24You may not know me well enough yet.
00:59:25When I want something, I get it.
00:59:26No matter the cost.
00:59:28So I suggest you think it over carefully.
00:59:29After all, your company's books are in desperate need of this capital.
00:59:31Am I wrong?
00:59:32That's right.
00:59:33As long as you step aside, we'll be friends going forward.
00:59:35A man like Edward's scene will devour you until there's nothing left, not even bones.
00:59:39Whatever he wants, whatever he decides to do, it takes him no time at all.
00:59:43It seems like nothing is beyond his grasp, including me.
00:59:47I look forward to your cooperation.
00:59:51What's wrong?
00:59:52Your hands are freezing.
00:59:55You never seem to guess wrong about what I'm thinking.
00:59:58My thoughts, my feelings, even what I should do next.
01:00:00You always seem to know.
01:00:02Edward, are you the same as me?
01:00:07Olivia, what's going on with you today?
01:00:09Did Sophie say something?
01:00:10No.
01:00:11It's my own doubts about you.
01:00:12Are you hiding something from me?
01:00:14I feel like you can see right through me, but all I have is a few months of knowing you.
01:00:17That's it.
01:00:17So you feel insecure.
01:00:21You're afraid I might hurt you.
01:00:22Is that it?
01:00:22I never thought you would hurt me.
01:00:24It's just, I don't know.
01:00:26Olivia, the truth is, I should have told you sooner.
01:00:28I've been looking for the right moment.
01:00:30The right moment?
01:00:31To tell me what?
01:00:33I can hear your inner voice.
01:00:36What?
01:00:40A gentleman's word.
01:00:42Is his bond.
01:00:44So every detail you dreamed of was my memory.
01:00:46Waiting for dad, by the lake, the bracelet breaking, even my secret hideaway that I never
01:00:50told a single soul about.
01:00:51Perhaps it wasn't that I saw you.
01:00:53Perhaps, on some level, our memories once converved.
01:00:55Your fierce determination, my heightened perception, they formed a connection through
01:00:58a fracture in time and space.
01:01:00So in this life, you followed the fragments of my memories to find me?
01:01:03No.
01:01:03I followed my heart to find you.
01:01:05The memories were merely signposts.
01:01:07My heart was the compass.
01:01:09Actually, I have something to tell you, too.
01:01:11I am reborn.
01:01:14Silly girl, of course I already knew.
01:01:16Your inner voice told me a long time ago.
01:01:18You're not shocked?
01:01:19You don't think I'm some kind of freak?
01:01:22What's there to be shocked about?
01:01:24Aren't I just as much of a freak?
01:01:31Sir, there's been an accident up ahead.
01:01:32The other driver seems to have fled the scene.
01:01:35Call an ambulance, then drive on.
01:01:36My schedule cannot be delayed.
01:01:37Yes, sir.
01:01:40You would have survived and gone on torturing each other with Lucas.
01:01:44And perhaps then, you and I would never have truly met.
01:01:47So death was an ending, but also a beginning.
01:01:52Rebirth is a gift.
01:01:54Olivia, I may never be able to fully explain the connection between us.
01:01:58But there is one thing I'm absolutely certain of.
01:02:00No matter how many times life starts over, no matter which time or space,
01:02:03I will find you and I will fall in love with you.
01:02:06That is my inevitability.
01:02:13The commercial crime case led by Sophie Lin has concluded today.
01:02:15Sophie Lin has confessed to charge his commercial robbery
01:02:17and masterming unfair competitive practices.
01:02:21And has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
01:02:23Her accomplice, Raymond Zhao, who knowingly concealed information
01:02:25and participated in the execution of criminal acts,
01:02:28has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
01:02:31Sophie chose the wrong path in the end.
01:02:33I thought that in this new life,
01:02:35she wouldn't lose her life in a plane crash after marrying Edward.
01:02:37But it turns out she still had her own Peter Taman fate.
01:02:51Olivia, I know that in this life,
01:02:52I no longer have the chance to be your protector.
01:02:54In our last life, I failed you.
01:02:56But thankfully, in this life, you didn't choose me.
01:02:59And that taught me the true meaning of love.
01:03:03This share transfer agreement is my blessing to you and Edward
01:03:05and my way of making amends.
01:03:07Please don't refuse it.
01:03:08No I don't.
01:03:10No I don't think so.
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:13Just let your memory out.
01:03:13It's your luck going.
01:03:13You
