Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.
00:00:05Today, my family pushed me into hell.
00:00:07The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.
00:00:09The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.
00:00:15Jolene!
00:00:16Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!
00:00:18If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.
00:00:21Release Jolene first.
00:00:22Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.
00:00:26I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.
00:00:30But he doesn't even glance my way.
00:00:32I choose Jolene too.
00:00:34This is the man I loved for three years.
00:00:37Code-blooded.
00:00:38Roofless.
00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.
00:00:50But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.
00:01:00Poor girl.
00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:01:04No need to hurry.
00:01:05One at a time, boys.
00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.
00:01:10No!
00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.
00:01:15A dozen figures dressed in black storming sun.
00:01:19If you want to live,
00:01:23stop right now.
00:01:24I recognize the man.
00:01:26He is Liam Warren.
00:01:27The most powerful man in Artwell.
00:01:29Who commands a massive empire.
00:01:31Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.
00:01:35Mr. Warren.
00:01:36Please spare us.
00:01:53Who are you?
00:01:55I'm the one sending you to hell.
00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,
00:02:00desperate pleas,
00:02:01and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.
00:02:08How much did Jolene pay you?
00:02:10Five million.
00:02:11She wanted you ruined.
00:02:16Thank you for saving me.
00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.
00:02:24I can cure it.
00:02:26Do you trust me?
00:02:29I trust you.
00:02:30I draw a small blade,
00:02:31make a precise cut on his finger,
00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.
00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,
00:02:36you're going to have to stick close to me.
00:02:39First,
00:02:41I need to end things with the Browns.
00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.
00:02:46When I return home,
00:02:48I find my biological parents and three brothers
00:02:50gathered around Jolana,
00:02:52showering her with care.
00:02:53I close the distance,
00:02:54grab a handful of Jolene's hair,
00:02:56across the face.
00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?
00:03:00Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?
00:03:03You better apologize right now.
00:03:06Catherine,
00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?
00:03:10Maybe we never should have taken you in.
00:03:13Me causing trouble?
00:03:15Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?
00:03:19She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.
00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.
00:03:24Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:03:26The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.
00:03:31No!
00:03:32It must be fake!
00:03:34Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
00:03:37Or maybe call the police?
00:03:38No! No!
00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!
00:03:41I'm sorry!
00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!
00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.
00:03:47Just drop it!
00:03:48It's either her or me.
00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.
00:03:53In their eyes,
00:03:55I'll never measure up to Jolene.
00:03:56So why should I hold on to them?
00:03:58Just as I step outside, a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.
00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?
00:04:07Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.
00:04:10I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.
00:04:16The car glides into the Warren estate.
00:04:20The most powerful family in Ardwell.
00:04:26Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.
00:04:33Is everything settled?
00:04:34Yes, I've cut ties.
00:04:36From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.
00:04:38Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.
00:04:40All right.
00:04:41But I have two conditions.
00:04:43First, I need a complete medical lab.
00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:04:48Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.
00:04:52All right.
00:04:54But keep this in mind.
00:04:57If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...
00:05:01My medical skills won't disappoint you.
00:05:03Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.
00:05:06Buy whatever you need.
00:05:07Don't hold back.
00:05:08I take the black card.
00:05:10A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.
00:05:12Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.
00:05:15Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.
00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.
00:05:21This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.
00:05:24Ironic, isn't it?
00:05:25A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.
00:05:29I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.
00:05:34Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.
00:05:37Where did you run off to?
00:05:38Come back.
00:05:39Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.
00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
00:05:43Who picked you up?
00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.
00:05:47Just return home.
00:05:49If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.
00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?
00:05:59Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?
00:06:03I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.
00:06:08I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.
00:06:12Get lost.
00:06:13Then I block them all without hesitation.
00:06:15That feels even better.
00:06:17This is how life should be.
00:06:18Logging out.
00:06:19I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.
00:06:24A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.
00:06:30Welcome back.
00:06:31Quietus.
00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.
00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.
00:06:38My phone rings.
00:06:40It's Gerald Douglas, my loyal admirer.
00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?
00:06:44I can't believe it.
00:06:45I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.
00:06:48Good.
00:06:48Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.
00:06:52The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.
00:06:54It seems Liam is already investigating me.
00:06:57Let him dig.
00:06:59Make 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.
00:07:35Jolene, is this your sister?
00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?
00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.
00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.
00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.
00:07:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?
00:07:55Watch out.
00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.
00:08:01I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.
00:08:04What?
00:08:05I saw those first.
00:08:06Saw them first, but can't afford them?
00:08:09Maybe?
00:08:11Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?
00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.
00:08:16I pay and walk out.
00:08:19I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out,
00:08:22and a fierce satisfaction courses through you.
00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family,
00:08:28this 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,
00:08:37my makeup refined but understated.
00:08:39Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.
00:08:43I am Liam Warren's date.
00:08:46The most powerful man in Ardwell.
00:08:48All eyes are drawn to us.
00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?
00:08:54He actually showed up.
00:08:56Who's that woman with him?
00:08:58I've never seen her before.
00:09:00She's stunning.
00:09:02Is she from some notable family?
00:09:04I ignore the whispers.
00:09:06My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.
00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection,
00:09:11hanging on Austin's arm,
00:09:13playing the part of a cherished woman.
00:09:15But the moment she sees me,
00:09:17her face drains of color.
00:09:18Austin freezes too.
00:09:20He stares at me,
00:09:21unable to believe his eyes.
00:09:26Catherine,
00:09:27what are you doing here?
00:09:28And with Mr. Warren?
00:09:30Where I go isn't any of your business.
00:09:32Who do you think you are to me?
00:09:37I'm your brother.
00:09:41I let out a cold laugh.
00:09:43Brother?
00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,
00:09:47did you remember you were my brother then?
00:09:50Catherine.
00:09:54His words are dripping with authority.
00:09:59Jolene approaches,
00:10:00her expression dark.
00:10:02Catherine,
00:10:03when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
00:10:05You never mentioned anything.
00:10:07And,
00:10:08didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?
00:10:11I look coldly at Jolene's face,
00:10:13trying to imply I'm a two-timer.
00:10:16Jolene,
00:10:17your tricks are way too amateur.
00:10:19Who Liam is,
00:10:20what my relationship is with him.
00:10:21None 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,
00:10:31her eyes glistening with tears.
00:10:33Here she goes again.
00:10:36Catherine,
00:10:37that's not what I meant.
00:10:40Catherine,
00:10:41where have you been?
00:10:42Mr. Fulton,
00:10:43wherever I go has nothing to do with you.
00:10:45We're not that familiar.
00:10:48Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?
00:10:51Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?
00:10:59Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?
00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns,
00:11:07and I meant every word.
00:11:10Excuse me.
00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.
00:11:19Did you catch that?
00:11:21Liam said it himself.
00:11:22She's with him.
00:11:24This has never happened before,
00:11:26has it?
00:11:29Wait,
00:11:30Catherine?
00:11:31Isn't that the Brown daughter
00:11:32who was swapped at birth
00:11:34and brought back from some remote place?
00:11:37Judging by Jolene's little comments,
00:11:39the Brown family drama
00:11:40might be more complicated than we thought.
00:11:43Look at Deccan's face.
00:11:45Is he starting to regret dumping her?
00:11:49I don't look back,
00:11:51but I know Jolene's expression
00:11:52must be priceless right now.
00:11:55The auction begins.
00:11:56One luxurious item after another
00:11:58is 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.
00:12:14But I've never been interested in jewelry.
00:12:16No matter how valuable,
00:12:18they're just stones.
00:12:19Just then,
00:12:20I hear a familiar voice.
00:12:22It's Jolene.
00:12:24Austin,
00:12:24this 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,
00:12:38Austin gives her.
00:12:44Once I was jealous.
00:12:45Now,
00:12:47I just find it ridiculous.
00:12:50Going once.
00:12:52Going twice.
00:12:53Just as the host prepares
00:12:54to declare it sold,
00:12:55a deep voice echoes from the back.
00:12:5850 million.
00:13:0050 million.
00:13:0150 million.
00:13:01Sold.
00:13:02Congratulations,
00:13:03Mr. Warren.
00:13:04Liam walks up to the stage
00:13:07and claims the necklace.
00:13:13Then,
00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,
00:13:16he returns to me
00:13:17and fastens the necklace
00:13:18around 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
00:13:34to look away from me.
00:13:36I reach up
00:13:37and touch the cool gem
00:13:38against my neck.
00:13:4250 million for a necklace.
00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.
00:13:46After the auction wraps up,
00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.
00:13:51Catherine,
00:13:52you really are something.
00:13:53A few days away
00:13:54and you've already hooked onto Liam.
00:13:56Nothing as impressive
00:13:57as your lifelong mastery
00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.
00:14:00Why do you always target me?
00:14:02Cut it out.
00:14:03There's no audience here,
00:14:04so no need to pretend.
00:14:05Jolene spots Declan approaching
00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,
00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.
00:14:11Catherine,
00:14:12even if you dislike me,
00:14:13isn't this too much?
00:14:14throwing juice on me?
00:14:17What happened?
00:14:18Declan, it's okay.
00:14:20I must have upset Catherine.
00:14:22Catherine,
00:14:23you still haven't grown up.
00:14:24Jolene is your sister.
00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine
00:14:30and flick my wrist,
00:14:31sending the whole glass
00:14:32onto Jolene's dress.
00:14:34There.
00:14:35That's something I actually did.
00:14:37And I only take responsibility
00:14:38for my own actions.
00:14:40Jolene is stunned.
00:14:42Declan freezes.
00:14:44Seems I arrived just after
00:14:46all the excitement ending.
00:14:48Quite the lesson
00:14:49in the Brown family's manners today.
00:14:52Mr. Warren,
00:14:53this is a misunderstanding.
00:14:55Misunderstanding?
00:14:57There are security cameras here.
00:15:00Review them if clarity is needed.
00:15:04Whispers erupt around them.
00:15:10Jolene's face goes from scarlet
00:15:12to ghostly pale.
00:15:14Let's go.
00:15:15The atmosphere here is suffocating.
00:15:18A fierce satisfaction rising in my chest.
00:15:21This time,
00:15:21I don't have to hold back anymore.
00:15:23Back in the Brown family,
00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.
00:15:26And all it got me
00:15:27was them pushing harder every time.
00:15:28Now,
00:15:29no one could step on me again.
00:15:36The following morning,
00:15:38I 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
00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.
00:16:05Just then,
00:16:06Liam's friend arrives.
00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty
00:16:16who stunned everyone last night?
00:16:18That's Catherine Brown,
00:16:19my new personal doctor.
00:16:22You're serious?
00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough
00:16:26that I can't ignore it.
00:16:28Mr. Moreno,
00:16:29perhaps you should take things easy.
00:16:31Your dark under eyes
00:16:33and shortness of breath
00:16:34suggest your vitality is running low.
00:16:36Winfred's face flushes immediately.
00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.
00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?
00:16:42Miss Brown,
00:16:43I'm not one to judge by appearances.
00:16:44But Liam's condition is severe.
00:16:46Many top experts have been stumped.
00:16:48And you?
00:16:49I'm not bothered.
00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt
00:16:52many times before.
00:16:54We'll see soon enough.
00:16:56Winred,
00:16:57maybe you ought to let
00:16:58Dr. Brown give you a prescription.
00:17:02Liam, are you kidding me?
00:17:03This girl-
00:17:04She's not just some girl.
00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.
00:17:07Right now,
00:17:07she's the one keeping me alive.
00:17:09He then turns to me.
00:17:11Can you really fix me?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:1630 minutes later,
00:17:18I begin the first acupuncture session.
00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,
00:17:23exposing his toned chest.
00:17:26I pull out the silver needles
00:17:28and insert them with speed and precision.
00:17:34When the last needle is inserted,
00:17:37Liam's body shivers.
00:17:39And he spits out dark red,
00:17:41clotted blood.
00:17:46What did you just do to him,
00:17:47Dr. Brown?
00:17:48How are you feeling now?
00:17:55I feel great.
00:17:57Lighter than I have in a long time.
00:17:59Don't let yourself get too stressed.
00:18:01And most importantly,
00:18:03you'll need to prioritize
00:18:04rest and abstinence.
00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.
00:18:08I'll take your advice seriously.
00:18:10Winfred leans in
00:18:11and quietly asks
00:18:12if I can help with his health.
00:18:16I go back to my room
00:18:18and return with a bottle of pills.
00:18:21These are pills for male vitality.
00:18:23One bottle costs $100,000.
00:18:26$100,000?
00:18:27Are these pills made of solid gold?
00:18:30The ingredients are rare
00:18:31and the process is complicated.
00:18:33Quality always demands a premium price.
00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.
00:18:38A sports car can be repaired,
00:18:40but if your health fails,
00:18:42no sum of money will grant you
00:18:43a 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.
00:19:11Look who's back.
00:19:12How did you sink so low at your age,
00:19:15becoming someone's mistress?
00:19:18Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.
00:19:20I'm afraid you're being misled.
00:19:23Who I decide to be with 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!
00:19:37Catherine, seriously,
00:19:38do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?
00:19:41Are you all finished?
00:19:43First,
00:19:44Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.
00:19:48Second,
00:19:48even if there were something else,
00:19:50it's none of your business.
00:19:52And don't forget
00:19:53that I am no longer part of your family.
00:19:55You said you cut ties,
00:19:57so give back the Brown group'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,
00:20:15and schemes to grab the shares.
00:20:18Keep pushing me,
00:20:19and 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
00:20:34what 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,
00:20:47a voice calls out,
00:20:48Catherine, is that really you?
00:20:50Where 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.
00:21:20You ungrateful brat.
00:21:22Stay out of my way.
00:21:24Otherwise,
00:21:24I 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...
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?
00:21:50No, 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.
00:21:58I 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.
00:22:51Miss Catherine Brown,
00:22:52you're here.
00:22:53Welcome.
00:22:54Please 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.
00:23:14Gerard tells me his uncle
00:23:15has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
00:23:17He says the required surgery
00:23:18carries an extremely high risk.
00:23:25Start with this medication.
00:23:27Come 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.
00:23:38After the meal,
00:23:39Gerard leans forward
00:23:40and asks if I need help with anything.
00:23:43I want to buy a house.
00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,
00:23:47but it must be extremely quiet and private,
00:23:49with top-tier security.
00:23:51I'll handle it.
00:23:52I'll find something perfect for you.
00:23:53Oh, and you're starting
00:23:54at Araylis University next 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!
00:24:03I'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.
00:24:11The manager hands me
00:24:12an exclusive premium membership card,
00:24:14saying all my expenses here
00:24:16will be on the house from now on.
00:24:19I glance over at Gerard,
00:24:20and he breaks into a grin.
00:24:22Don't refuse it.
00:24:24This is our business,
00:24:25so just enjoy it.
00:24:29Fine.
00:24:30After being chased away from my private suite,
00:24:33Jolene 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.
00:24:58What?
00:24:59How dare she treat you that way?
00:25:01That ungrateful girl!
00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.
00:25:06Mom, I saw it too.
00:25:08The manager was treating Catherine
00:25:10with a lot of respect.
00:25:12Yes.
00:25:13That man had an aura 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.
00:25:43She 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 turns around and her smile freezes.
00:26:00It's her.
00:26:02Jolene!
00:26:03My dear daughter!
00:26:05Finally!
00:26:06I've found you!
00:26:07Her blood runs cold.
00:26:10Jolene,
00:26:12your younger brother 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.
00:26:26Jolene,
00:26:26this isn't nearly enough.
00:26:28The tuition alone is a hundred thousand.
00:26:30Her hands tremble with unbridled rage.
00:26:33This wretched woman just won't know her place.
00:26:35I don't know you!
00:26:37My parents already paid you enough
00:26:38to 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 Ararious University.
00:27:09Jolene,
00:27:10is this your sister?
00:27:11Since when does Ararious University
00:27:13let random nobodies walk in?
00:27:15Well,
00:27:15isn't this a lovely coincidence,
00:27:17Jolene?
00:27:18Looks like we're going to be classmates.
00:27:20Classmates?
00:27:21You and me?
00:27:21Don't be ridiculous.
00:27:25The lecture bell chimes sharp and clear,
00:27:28and 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.
00:27:36He turns to the class
00:27:37and poses an extremely complex,
00:27:40peer-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,
00:27:52please 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,
00:28:17her grip tight on her pen.
00:28:20When the final bell rings,
00:28:22I walk out of the lecture hall.
00:28:24Jolene steps in front of me with Paige and Brenna.
00:28:28Catherine,
00:28:28just a few days away,
00:28:30and suddenly you're the one catching everyone's attention.
00:28:34Jolene,
00:28:34she's probably pulling stunts she'd never admit out loud.
00:28:38Exactly.
00:28:39Everyone whispers,
00:28:40she knows how to charm the right people.
00:28:42Is that all?
00:28:44Now,
00:28:45move aside,
00:28:46mutt.
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,
00:29:03keep your little gang in check.
00:29:05If they open their mouths like that again,
00:29:07next time won't be so friendly.
00:29:09Watch your tone.
00:29:10You're messing with the Brown family's reputation.
00:29:14The Brown family?
00:29:17That's your problem,
00:29:18not mine.
00:29:20Stop pretending.
00:29:21It's pathetic.
00:29:23I turn and walk away.
00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion and find Liam in the living room.
00:29:37You were out?
00:29:39Yeah.
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 without hesitation.
00:29:59Then I prepare a medicinal shower.
00:30:02The water warmed perfectly.
00:30:04A thin mist curling through the room.
00:30:08It's ready?
00:30:10Liam walks toward the treatment area,
00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt as he moves.
00:30:15His 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?
00:30:29Feeling shy now?
00:30:29After 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?
00:30:47Get 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,
00:31:24just say it.
00:31:26Professor,
00:31:27I know you prize real skill,
00:31:29but Kathleen is not who you think she is.
00:31:32She never attended a proper university.
00:31:34How could she grasp complex medical research?
00:31:36I'm afraid you're being deceived.
00:31:38Enough!
00:31:40Jolene,
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 the first time around.
00:31:54Tell me,
00:31:55how could anyone possibly fake that level of understanding?
00:32:03Professor Carter, I...
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.
00:32:19In that moment,
00:32:21I knew I'd found someone who saw me,
00:32:23not the lies they spread about me.
00:32:32Hey,
00:32:34I'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.
00:32:59The 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.
00:33:08Professor Carter thinks the world of Catherine.
00:33:13So 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,
00:33:24Catherine,
00:33:24you actually showed up wearing fake shoes.
00:33:27That's bold.
00:33:30Still,
00:33:31it's embarrassing as hell.
00:33:38All eyes in that instant were pinned on my feet.
00:33:44I feel like being judged in a high society,
00:33:46party.
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.
00:34:01Wearing 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.
00:34:37But 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.
00:34:50Oh!
00:34:54Impossible!
00:34:55My shoes are real!
00:34:57The marks are just worn down from use!
00:34:59You can barely see it now!
00:35:01Oh, really?
00:35:03Futures' anti-counterfeit system
00:35:04is one of the most advanced in the world.
00:35:06Unless the shoes are completely wrecked,
00:35:09the serial number doesn't just disappear.
00:35:11Want to check right now?
00:35:13No!
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!
00:35:41Those limited edition shoes you got for me?
00:35:45Catherine showed up wearing the exact same pair
00:35:47and accused mine of being fake.
00:35:50showtime.
00:35:57Catherine, wait!
00:36:03What gives you the right
00:36:05to accuse Jolene's shoes
00:36:06of be fake?
00:36:11Just take the shoes to the store
00:36:13for verification.
00:36:14Verify them?
00:36:15Who do you think you are?
00:36:25Lucky for me,
00:36:26future's black gold members
00:36:28get priority verification.
00:36:31The future black card?
00:36:33How the hell does she have that?
00:36:34Austin,
00:36:35let's just get this over with!
00:36:42No,
00:36:43forget it.
00:36:43This isn't worth the headache.
00:36:45Let's just go home.
00:37:01What's going on here?
00:37:04Liam gets out of the car,
00:37:06moving with authority.
00:37:11They look at him nervously,
00:37:13like rats looking at a cat.
00:37:16Mr. Warren,
00:37:17is everything alright?
00:37:20Mr. Warren,
00:37:21it's nothing serious.
00:37:23Catherine just insisted
00:37:24my shoes weren't real.
00:37:30Do you need any help?
00:37:31No,
00:37:32it's fine.
00:37:33Nothing to worry about.
00:37:35Mr. 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?
00:38:17Look 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 with Liam backing me up,
00:38:28I have nothing to fear.
00:38:40The next afternoon,
00:38:41I wheel a small suitcase
00:38:43to my new home,
00:38:44Sterling Haven.
00:38:46Just 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
00:38:54Declan and Jolene
00:38:55standing not far away.
00:38:57What's going on here?
00:38:59Why are you at this place?
00:39:01Catherine,
00:39:01why are you hauling
00:39:03a suitcase here?
00:39:04Are you sure you haven't
00:39:05gotten the wrong place?
00:39:07This is Sterling Haven.
00:39:08If you don't want
00:39:09the security guards
00:39:10kicking you out,
00:39:11you better leave.
00:39:12I live here.
00:39:13So yeah,
00:39:14I'm pretty sure
00:39:14I know my own address.
00:39:16Your home?
00:39:17Wait,
00:39:18are you working here?
00:39:19Like on the staff?
00:39:20I can't help but laugh.
00:39:22Jolene,
00:39:23your imagination is wild.
00:39:24So tell me,
00:39:25what about you two?
00:39:27Are you here to apply
00:39:28for janitor
00:39:29or security jobs?
00:39:30Declan and I are here
00:39:31looking for a place
00:39:33to settle down.
00:39:34Our wedding apartment,
00:39:35actually.
00:39:37I calmly reach into my bag
00:39:39and pull out
00:39:39an access card,
00:39:43tapping it
00:39:43against the reader.
00:39:47A beep confirms access.
00:39:52Declan and Jolene
00:39:53freeze in shock.
00:39:57Just moved into
00:39:58Sterling Haven
00:39:59and the silence
00:40:00of the night
00:40:00was shattered.
00:40:03There's a race
00:40:04tomorrow evening.
00:40:05The prize is huge.
00:40:07Feeling the itch?
00:40:09Who's racing?
00:40:11The same arrogant group
00:40:12of wealthy young men.
00:40:14They've been throwing
00:40:15challenges at Evora.
00:40:17Oh,
00:40:18and the Brown family
00:40:20will be there too.
00:40:21What's the prize?
00:40:23A million dollars
00:40:24plus a limited edition
00:40:26sports car.
00:40:27Send me the details.
00:40:30Since they're throwing
00:40:31themselves at me,
00:40:32I see no reason
00:40:33to refuse.
00:40:37Four in the afternoon,
00:40:39I drive towards
00:40:40the racetrack
00:40:41in the suburb.
00:40:56I sign that name.
00:40:58The one they both dread
00:40:59and go mad over.
00:41:05Oh,
00:41:06it's Evora!
00:41:07Our idol Evora
00:41:08has arrived!
00:41:11Evora?
00:41:12It's probably
00:41:13just someone pretending.
00:41:18She wouldn't show up
00:41:19for a small race
00:41:20like this.
00:41:28Just then,
00:41:30that flashy blue GT-R
00:41:31pulled up
00:41:32right in front of me.
00:41:36Catherine?
00:41:38What are you doing here?
00:41:40This isn't a playground
00:41:41for careless drivers.
00:41:45If trash like you
00:41:46is allowed here,
00:41:47why shouldn't I be?
00:41:50I don't know.
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.
00:42:10Laying hands
00:42:10on someone in public?
00:42:12That's a bad look.
00:42:13Let go!
00:42:14Don't you know
00:42:14who I am?
00:42:19Whoever you are,
00:42:20if you touch
00:42:20Catherine again,
00:42:22you'll regret it.
00:42:26We'll settle this
00:42:27on the race course.
00:42:29Hopefully you don't
00:42:30crash out
00:42:30in the first round.
00:42:33The signal light
00:42:34blinks on,
00:42:35and the five engines
00:42:36roar to life.
00:42:37The green light
00:42:37flashes,
00:42:38and Jackson's
00:42:39GT-R
00:42:39shoots forward.
00:42:40At the first corner,
00:42:41I execute a drift
00:42:43unlike anything
00:42:43he's ever seen
00:42:44and pull ahead.
00:42:45The next stretch
00:42:46of the track
00:42:47turns into a full-on
00:42:48display of my skill.
00:42:55I flow through
00:42:56every bed
00:42:56as if I designed
00:42:57them myself.
00:43:00It's Yvera!
00:43:01She's really
00:43:02the legendary
00:43:03Yvera!
00:43:10My gray car
00:43:11shoots through
00:43:12the final stretch
00:43:13and crosses
00:43:14the finish line first.
00:43:27I push open
00:43:28the door
00:43:29and pull off
00:43:29my helmet,
00:43:30my ponytail
00:43:31swinging in the breeze.
00:43:35My face
00:43:36stays calm,
00:43:37showing no excitement.
00:43:48You...
00:43:48You're really
00:43:50Yvera?
00:43:54Tell me,
00:43:55who's the idiot
00:43:56now?
00:43:59So you were
00:44:00tricking us
00:44:01this whole time?
00:44:02On the day
00:44:02I returned,
00:44:03I told all of you
00:44:04I liked racing.
00:44:06But not a single
00:44:07one of you
00:44:07ever bothered
00:44:08to listen.
00:44:11I step around
00:44:12Jackson and walk
00:44:13off without
00:44:13looking back.
00:44:18I never wanted
00:44:19to flaunt
00:44:20being Yvera.
00:44:22But since you
00:44:23kept pushing,
00:44:24now you get
00:44:24to see who
00:44:25the 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
00:44:53directly.
00:44:58Liam,
00:44:59you have to see this.
00:45:00I swear it'll
00:45:01knock you sideways.
00:45:02Please.
00:45:02Nothing on earth
00:45:03surprises Liam.
00:45:05What nonsense
00:45:06are you stirring up now?
00:45:14Liam opens the video,
00:45:15sees me stepping out
00:45:17of the gray car,
00:45:18and a flicker of real
00:45:19shock crosses eyes.
00:45:22It's her.
00:45:27Okay,
00:45:27I'm genuinely
00:45:28blown away.
00:45:29Liam,
00:45:30what kind of
00:45:30divine helper
00:45:31do you have
00:45:31in your life?
00:45:32This woman
00:45:32is pure magic.
00:45:34Told you.
00:45:35I knew even Liam
00:45:36couldn't stay calm
00:45:37after this.
00:45:54Catherine,
00:45:55just how much
00:45:56are you still hiding?
00:46:01The next day,
00:46:03I walk into the
00:46:04classroom.
00:46:06Catherine,
00:46:07I got you
00:46:07your favorite
00:46:08coffee.
00:46:09I smile
00:46:09and pull out
00:46:10a delicate
00:46:11porcelain bottle
00:46:11from my bag.
00:46:13Apply this ointment
00:46:15to the spot
00:46:15before bed.
00:46:17You should see
00:46:18results in about
00:46:18a month.
00:46:19Thank you so much,
00:46:20Catherine.
00:46:21Do you really
00:46:21think it will work?
00:46:22A mocking laugh
00:46:23cuts through the air.
00:46:25Consistency is the
00:46:26key.
00:46:27I'm confident
00:46:27it'll heal.
00:46:31Seriously?
00:46:32You actually
00:46:33think a homemade
00:46:34cream will magically
00:46:35make you beautiful?
00:46:36My eyes darken
00:46:37as I fix Paige
00:46:38with a piercing
00:46:39stare.
00:46:41Apologize.
00:46:42Why should I
00:46:43apologize?
00:46:44I'm just speaking
00:46:45the truth.
00:46:46Catherine,
00:46:47Paige can be a bit
00:46:48blunt.
00:46:49She didn't mean
00:46:50to be hurtful.
00:46:52Paige was only
00:46:53trying to warn you.
00:46:54The ointments
00:46:55you're handing out
00:46:55aren't officially
00:46:56approved.
00:46:57If Claudian's
00:46:58condition gets worse,
00:47:00that could cause
00:47:01a big problem.
00:47:02It's to heal,
00:47:03not harm.
00:47:04Why do you
00:47:05jump to conclusions
00:47:06without a shred
00:47:06of proof?
00:47:11Tell me,
00:47:12have you ever
00:47:13actually tested
00:47:14these ointments
00:47:15yourself?
00:47:16Claudian,
00:47:17use your ointment
00:47:17without any worries.
00:47:19If anything happens,
00:47:20I will take
00:47:21full responsibility.
00:47:23Jolene Brown,
00:47:24my medical skills
00:47:25aren't something
00:47:25outers to question.
00:47:31Catherine,
00:47:32I believe in you.
00:47:34Just as the school
00:47:35day wraps up,
00:47:36rain suddenly begins
00:47:37pouring down in
00:47:37heavy sheets.
00:47:38I had anticipated
00:47:39this,
00:47:40so an umbrella
00:47:41is tucked safely
00:47:41in my bag.
00:47:42Pulling it out,
00:47:43I open it and step
00:47:44out into the
00:47:45downpour.
00:47:47Catherine,
00:47:47wait!
00:47:48Can I share
00:47:49your umbrella
00:47:49with you?
00:47:50No.
00:47:52I turn around
00:47:53and see Jolene
00:47:54huddled beneath
00:47:54my umbrella.
00:47:56Without another
00:47:57word,
00:47:58I turn and
00:47:59walk away.
00:48:00Before long,
00:48:01the rain soaks
00:48:02her to the bone.
00:48:04Catherine,
00:48:05it's pouring
00:48:06out here.
00:48:07I just wanted
00:48:08to walk with
00:48:09you for a bit.
00:48:10Jolene is left
00:48:11standing there,
00:48:12stunned.
00:48:15I already
00:48:16said no.
00:48:17My umbrella
00:48:18is too small
00:48:18for 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
00:48:26car rolls
00:48:27to a slow
00:48:27stop at the
00:48:28gate.
00:48:28It's Austin's.
00:48:34Austin!
00:48:36Jolene?
00:48:37How did you
00:48:38get this soaked?
00:48:38Didn't you bring
00:48:39an umbrella?
00:48:40You'll catch
00:48:40a cold like this.
00:48:41He glances
00:48:42out the window
00:48:43just 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
00:48:58think we're
00:48:58close enough
00:48:59for that?
00:49:01Catherine,
00:49:03Jolene is family.
00:49:04Look at her.
00:49:05She's drenched.
00:49:06You had an umbrella
00:49:07and didn't even
00:49:07think to help her?
00:49:11Do you have
00:49:12any idea
00:49:12how cruel
00:49:13that looks?
00:49:14Exactly!
00:49:14Jolene soaked
00:49:15because Catherine
00:49:16abandoned her!
00:49:17She went way
00:49:17too far!
00:49:19Before 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
00:49:26it off Catherine.
00:49:27Catherine didn't
00:49:28want to share,
00:49:28so what?
00:49:29Stop trying
00:49:29to guilt trip her.
00:49:31So what?
00:49:33The rain was pouring!
00:49:34Sharing wouldn't
00:49:35kill her.
00:49:36Catherine's.
00:49:37Catherine's just
00:49:37being selfish.
00:49:38Paige, please,
00:49:39you don't even
00:49:39know what happened.
00:49:40Jolene gave her
00:49:41umbrella away
00:49:41just to look generous.
00:49:42Austin,
00:49:43that's not what
00:49:44happened.
00:49:44I only wanted
00:49:46to get closer
00:49:46to her.
00:49:48I didn't realize
00:49:49she disliked me
00:49:49so much.
00:49:50Keep your little
00:49:51performances away
00:49:52from me.
00:49:52Don't test me.
00:50:06In the classroom,
00:50:07I sit quietly
00:50:08at my desk,
00:50:09flipping through
00:50:09my notes.
00:50:10Catherine,
00:50:11I heard Jolene's
00:50:11really sick today.
00:50:12She didn't come
00:50:13to class.
00:50:13Rain and cold,
00:50:14it's pretty normal
00:50:15to feel under
00:50:15the weather afterward.
00:50:17A loud commotion
00:50:17erupts at the
00:50:18classroom entrance.
00:50:20Feel satisfied
00:50:21now, Catherine?
00:50:22Jolene's in the
00:50:23hospital with a
00:50:23high fever,
00:50:24all because you
00:50:25wouldn't share
00:50:25your stupid umbrella.
00:50:26I calmly shut
00:50:27my notebook
00:50:28and rise to my
00:50:29feet.
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
00:50:36responsibility?
00:50:37Is this seriously
00:50:38your reaction?
00:50:39Jolene's hospitalized,
00:50:40and you're standing
00:50:41here tossing out
00:50:41sarcastic comments?
00:50:42And what exactly
00:50:43does her hospital
00:50:44stale have to do
00:50:44with me?
00:50:45Did I make her
00:50:46give away her
00:50:46umbrella?
00:50:47Or did I
00:50:47physically send
00:50:48her into the
00:50:49storm?
00:50:49You!
00:50:51And honestly,
00:50:51if she were sick
00:50:52enough to be
00:50:52hospitalized,
00:50:54would she really
00:50:54have the energy
00:50:55to publicize it
00:50:56to the entire
00:50:56school?
00:50:58I asked her
00:50:58personally.
00:50:59Great.
00:51:00Tell me which
00:51:01hospital she's at.
00:51:02I'll arrange for
00:51:03top-clear specialists
00:51:04to check on her.
00:51:06I begin dialing,
00:51:07and Paige
00:51:08immediately panics.
00:51:10No!
00:51:10You don't have
00:51:11to do that!
00:51:12Jolene said
00:51:12she only needs
00:51:13rest.
00:51:16How did you
00:51:17figure out
00:51:17she was faking?
00:51:19I've watched
00:51:19her pull the
00:51:20same act
00:51:20more times
00:51:21than I can
00:51:21count.
00:51:23On the weekend,
00:51:25Claudian asks
00:51:26me to go
00:51:26shopping with
00:51:27her.
00:51:28We pause
00:51:29in front
00:51:29of dessert
00:51:30shop,
00:51:31across from
00:51:32a famous
00:51:32brand boutique.
00:51:33Jolene is
00:51:34there too.
00:51:38Oh, look
00:51:39who it is,
00:51:39Catherine.
00:51:40Fancy seeing
00:51:41you here.
00:51:42Shopping too,
00:51:42huh?
00:51:43What's the
00:51:44matter?
00:51:44Didn't expect
00:51:45to see you
00:51:45in a place
00:51:46like this?
00:51:46This isn't
00:51:47some place
00:51:48for just
00:51:48anyone.
00:51:49Bet that
00:51:49ice cream
00:51:50cost you
00:51:50half a day's
00:51:51wages?
00:51:52Jolene steps
00:51:53forward and
00:51:54accidentally
00:51:54splashes her
00:51:55coffee onto
00:51:56my white dress.
00:51:58Oh no,
00:51:59Catherine!
00:51:59I'm so sorry!
00:52:00I tripped!
00:52:01I didn't mean
00:52:02to!
00:52:03I look down
00:52:04at the stains
00:52:05on my dress.
00:52:06My eyes
00:52:06turning cold.
00:52:11Do you
00:52:11even know
00:52:12how much
00:52:12this dress
00:52:12costs?
00:52:13It's just
00:52:13a dress.
00:52:14I can
00:52:15buy you
00:52:15a new
00:52:15one.
00:52:18She pulls
00:52:19$200
00:52:20and tosses
00:52:21them at
00:52:21me.
00:52:23Use this
00:52:24to get
00:52:24yourself
00:52:24a new
00:52:25one.
00:52:25I look
00:52:26at the
00:52:26ice cream
00:52:26in my
00:52:27hand
00:52:32and press
00:52:33it onto
00:52:34Jolene's
00:52:34face.
00:52:36Oops!
00:52:37Sorry!
00:52:38My hand
00:52:39just slipped.
00:52:39It's just a
00:52:40little mess.
00:52:41A quick wipe
00:52:42and you'll be
00:52:43fine.
00:52:43Jolene screams.
00:52:46Catherine!
00:52:47What on earth
00:52:48are you doing?
00:52:49Are you crazy?
00:52:50Anne steps out
00:52:51of the fitting
00:52:52room and gasps
00:52:53at Jolene's
00:52:53appearance.
00:52:59Jolene!
00:53:00What on earth
00:53:01happened to
00:53:02you?
00:53:03Mom, it's
00:53:04all my fault.
00:53:05I accidentally
00:53:06spilled coffee
00:53:07on Catherine's
00:53:08dress.
00:53:09I've already
00:53:10paid her
00:53:10back, but
00:53:11she's acting
00:53:12like it's
00:53:12not enough.
00:53:18Catherine,
00:53:19why are you
00:53:20picking on
00:53:20Jolene again?
00:53:23Anne pulls
00:53:24a thick
00:53:25wad of
00:53:25cash from
00:53:26her purse.
00:53:28Catherine,
00:53:29don't push
00:53:29this further.
00:53:30If it's
00:53:31money you
00:53:31want,
00:53:32apologize
00:53:32to Jolene.
00:53:33Not nearly
00:53:34enough.
00:53:36Yes,
00:53:37this is our
00:53:38anniversary
00:53:38edition.
00:53:39It retails
00:53:40for $180,000
00:53:41and is
00:53:42completely
00:53:42sold out.
00:53:43Either pay
00:53:44me three
00:53:44times its
00:53:45value,
00:53:45or I'll
00:53:46report this
00:53:47as intentional
00:53:48property damage
00:53:49to the
00:53:50police.
00:53:51Who said
00:53:51we wouldn't
00:53:52compensate?
00:53:53She reluctantly
00:53:53writes a 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
00:54:03to the police.
00:54:03I feel a deep,
00:54:05satisfying pleasure.
00:54:06$540,000.
00:54:08That's going to
00:54:08sting for a while.
00:54:10Back in the
00:54:10Brown family,
00:54:11I let you walk
00:54:12all 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
00:54:24entrance.
00:54:29I've only
00:54:29walked a short
00:54:30distance when a
00:54:31terrified scream
00:54:32cuts through the air.
00:54:34Help!
00:54:35Someone help!
00:54:36Is there a doctor here?
00:54:38I turn towards
00:54:39the commotion
00:54:39and see a well-dressed
00:54:41woman kneeling beside
00:54:42an elderly woman
00:54:43who has collapsed.
00:54:44Wake up!
00:54:45I push through the crowd
00:54:46and kneel down
00:54:46to examine her.
00:54:51Ma'am, don't panic.
00:54:53Does she have a
00:54:54history of heart disease?
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:57She has coronary
00:54:58heart disease.
00:55:00I reach into my bag
00:55:02and pull out a small
00:55:03bottle of nitroglycerin
00:55:05pills.
00:55:06I slide a tablet
00:55:07under her tongue
00:55:08and begin CPR.
00:55:22After several
00:55:23long minutes,
00:55:24the elderly woman
00:55:25lets out a faint
00:55:26groan.
00:55:28Paramedics arrive
00:55:29and take over.
00:55:32Very professional.
00:55:33You've brought us
00:55:34precious time.
00:55:36Which hospital
00:55:37do you work at?
00:55:38I have to thank you
00:55:39properly.
00:55:44I'm still a student.
00:55:46Helping people
00:55:46is just something
00:55:47I have to do.
00:55:54I quietly gather
00:55:55my things
00:55:56and slip away
00:55:57while the crowd
00:55:57watches with admiration.
00:55:59The next morning,
00:56:00I intentionally
00:56:01leave home early,
00:56:02but the Browns
00:56:03are already lying
00:56:04in wait
00:56:04at the school entrance.
00:56:07Catherine!
00:56:10Jolene plunges
00:56:11to hug me,
00:56:12but I smoothly
00:56:13dodge her.
00:56:15Catherine,
00:56:15come home with me.
00:56:17Your grandmother's
00:56:18back and wants
00:56:19to see you.
00:56:23Sorry,
00:56:24but I don't really
00:56:24know you people.
00:56:25We don't have time
00:56:26for your nonsense.
00:56:27You're coming home
00:56:28with us today.
00:56:32Since it's the busiest
00:56:33time for students
00:56:34arriving,
00:56:35a bunch of curious
00:56:36students have already
00:56:37stopped to watch.
00:56:40A sleek black Bentley
00:56:42eases to a stop
00:56:43right beside us.
00:56:45The window lowers
00:56:46smoothly,
00:56:47and Liam's sharply
00:56:48contoured face
00:56:49comes into view.
00:56:52Catherine,
00:56:53get in the car.
00:56:59I've got class
00:57:00in a few minutes.
00:57:01What brings you
00:57:01here so early?
00:57:04They didn't bother
00:57:05you, did they?
00:57:06No.
00:57:07They're irrelevant.
00:57:08I'm heading in.
00:57:12And without waiting
00:57:13for his response,
00:57:14I simply turn
00:57:15and leave.
00:57:19The Browns
00:57:20erupt the moment
00:57:21I brush past them
00:57:22like they're strangers
00:57:23on the street.
00:57:24Are we seriously
00:57:25letting that girl
00:57:25walk all over us?
00:57:28She might ignore us,
00:57:29but someone else
00:57:30can get through to her.
00:57:31She won't dare
00:57:32skip her grandmother's
00:57:33birthday banquet.
00:57:37She'll show up
00:57:38for that.
00:57:39After my classes
00:57:39wrap up,
00:57:40I head home,
00:57:41ready to relax,
00:57:42until my phone
00:57:43starts buzzing
00:57:43in my pocket.
00:57:48Catherine,
00:57:48I'm sending you
00:57:49an address.
00:57:50Come eat with us.
00:57:50They've got all
00:57:51your favorites,
00:57:52and there's a
00:57:52surprise for you,
00:57:53too.
00:57:54I hop into a cab,
00:57:56take the elevator
00:57:56up,
00:57:57and text Jared.
00:58:00Which room
00:58:01are you guys in?
00:58:03The elevator doors
00:58:04slide open,
00:58:05and I walk out,
00:58:06my eyes glued
00:58:07to my phone.
00:58:10Before I can
00:58:11take two steps,
00:58:12a hand suddenly
00:58:13pulls me aside.
00:58:14So this is who
00:58:15you really are?
00:58:16Waiting all this time
00:58:17just to pull this?
00:58:18You followed me here?
00:58:19Declan,
00:58:21of course.
00:58:22What?
00:58:23Touched a nerve?
00:58:24You show up
00:58:25where I hang out
00:58:25hoping I'll notice
00:58:26you again?
00:58:28Catherine,
00:58:29you really haven't
00:58:30changed.
00:58:30Still using the
00:58:31same desperate
00:58:32tricks.
00:58:32Isn't she that
00:58:33brown family daughter?
00:58:34The one they
00:58:34recently reclaimed?
00:58:35Yep.
00:58:36Looks like she's still
00:58:36running after Declan
00:58:37like always.
00:58:38Declan,
00:58:38drop the ego.
00:58:39I'm here for
00:58:39someone else.
00:58:40You don't even
00:58:40make the top hundred.
00:58:41Stop acting like
00:58:42the world revolves
00:58:43around you.
00:58:45Aha,
00:58:46so I got to you.
00:58:47That's why
00:58:47you're biting back?
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 his
00:58:53spirit.
00:58:55I stride toward
00:58:56the highest tier
00:58:57private suite
00:58:58without looking back.
00:59:07Whoa,
00:59:08what happened
00:59:09to you?
00:59:13I'm fine.
00:59:23Catherine,
00:59:24wait till you
00:59:24see this.
00:59:35Hold on.
00:59:36Is that...
00:59:37Yep.
00:59:38The one from
00:59:39the Veritas auction
00:59:40last month.
00:59:40You kept staring
00:59:41at it,
00:59:42so I figured
00:59:43I'd just buy
00:59:43the damn
00:59:44thing for you.
00:59:45Thanks,
00:59:46Geralde.
00:59:46Hey,
00:59:47don't go formal
00:59:48on me.
00:59:49Something like
00:59:50this deserves
00:59:50an owner
00:59:51who actually
00:59:52gets it.
00:59:53Yeah.
01:00:18Catherine,
01:00:19I heard you moved out.
01:00:21Did something happen?
01:00:22did the Browns push you
01:00:23too far again?
01:00:24I'm fine,
01:00:25Auntie.
01:00:26I left on my own terms.
01:00:28Your grandmother
01:00:29returned.
01:00:30You heard?
01:00:31Her birthday banquet
01:00:33is next week.
01:00:34She actually called
01:00:35me earlier
01:00:36and told me
01:00:36to ask you
01:00:37to come.
01:00:38Auntie,
01:00:39I'm no longer
01:00:40part of the Brown
01:00:41family.
01:00:42Catherine,
01:00:43please.
01:00:44She's getting
01:00:44older.
01:00:45Just give her
01:00:46this one courtesy.
01:00:48All right.
01:00:49I'll show up
01:00:50on time.
01:00:51I exhale slowly,
01:00:52so this is happening.
01:00:54No dodging it now.
01:00:55My eyes move back
01:00:56to the gemstone
01:00:56in its wooden box.
01:00:58It would make
01:00:58a clean,
01:00:59elegant birthday gift.
01:01:01The night of
01:01:02Analia's birthday
01:01:03banquet has come.
01:01:04The Brown estate
01:01:05glows with
01:01:06extravagant decorations.
01:01:10I stroll in
01:01:11wearing simple,
01:01:12casual clothes.
01:01:14Jolene drifts
01:01:15graciously through
01:01:15the guests
01:01:16in a blush-pink
01:01:17couture gown.
01:01:19Low whispers
01:01:20swirl around
01:01:20the gathered guests
01:01:21about how shabby
01:01:22I look.
01:01:23Lawrence's
01:01:24and Anna's
01:01:25expressions
01:01:25grow cold
01:01:26and tense.
01:01:27Isn't that the one
01:01:28who broke ties
01:01:28with the Browns?
01:01:29And she just shows up
01:01:30to Grandma's
01:01:31birthday like that?
01:01:35Wild or not,
01:01:36she's stunning.
01:01:38Those sharp features
01:01:40in that presence
01:01:41can't be ignored.
01:01:42Jolene steps forward,
01:01:44her smile dazzling
01:01:45and perfectly practiced.
01:01:47Grandma,
01:01:48happy birthday!
01:01:49I know how much
01:01:50you adore gemstones,
01:01:51so I asked the auction house
01:01:53to find something
01:01:53really special for you.
01:01:55A rare warm gem.
01:02:01And you, Catherine?
01:02:03What did you bring?
01:02:04I reach into my black bag
01:02:06and pull out
01:02:07a small wooden box.
01:02:09As I open the lid,
01:02:11the room falls
01:02:12deathly silent.
01:02:14Nestled inside
01:02:15is another gemstone.
01:02:19To give Grandma
01:02:20a fake?
01:02:21That's just
01:02:22disrespectful.
01:02:23Catherine?
01:02:24Fake?
01:02:25Catherine,
01:02:26don't you realize
01:02:27how humiliating
01:02:28this is
01:02:29for our family?
01:02:31Amid the crowd's
01:02:32murmurs
01:02:33and accusations,
01:02:34I stay composed.
01:02:41You say mine's a fake?
01:02:43On what proof?
01:02:45Maybe yours is the counterfeit.
01:02:47Isn't it obvious?
01:02:48This gem
01:02:49is incredibly rare.
01:02:51There can't be
01:02:52two exactly the same.
01:02:56Mine's been
01:02:57authenticated
01:02:58by several experts.
01:03:00It's the real deal.
01:03:01A knowing smile
01:03:02curves my lips
01:03:03as I bring my gem up
01:03:05and lightly press it
01:03:07against an Aaliyah's wrist.
01:03:09This is it!
01:03:11They say a genuine warm gem
01:03:13changes color
01:03:13depending on its wearer's vitality.
01:03:15It's a unique,
01:03:16almost magical trait.
01:03:19Why don't we test
01:03:20Jolene's gem
01:03:21the same way?
01:03:23She tried to pin it
01:03:24on Catherine
01:03:25when it was her own gift
01:03:26that was false.
01:03:27That's impossible!
01:03:28I paid 10 million
01:03:29for this
01:03:30at the luxurious auction house!
01:03:32I even have the receipt
01:03:33and certificate
01:03:34to prove it!
01:03:34Pulling out her phone,
01:03:36she quickly dials the number.
01:03:37What she hears
01:03:38makes her eyes
01:03:39widened in shock.
01:03:40Just then,
01:03:41someone glances
01:03:42at their phone
01:03:42and blurts out,
01:03:43The luxurious auction house
01:03:44director got hooked
01:03:45on gambling!
01:03:48Jolene stumbles backward,
01:03:50dropping her phone
01:03:51with a loud clatter.
01:03:52Today is my birthday celebration.
01:03:54Let's put an end
01:03:55to this now.
01:03:56Jolene acted
01:03:57with good intentions
01:03:58but was misled.
01:03:59For the very first time,
01:04:01Anala looks at me
01:04:02without that usual
01:04:03air of disappointment.
01:04:07You know, Catherine,
01:04:09I actually like this.
01:04:14Jolene bites down hard
01:04:16on her lower lip,
01:04:17her nails digging
01:04:18into her palm.
01:04:20Justine approaches me.
01:04:22Catherine,
01:04:24I'm sorry about
01:04:25everything that went
01:04:26down earlier.
01:04:27I'm okay.
01:04:29You only stop feeling hurt
01:04:30when you stop expecting
01:04:31anything from anyone.
01:04:34It's okay.
01:04:35Not long after,
01:04:36friends call Justina away.
01:04:39A maid makes her way around,
01:04:41offering champagne.
01:04:42When she gets to me,
01:04:43I decline.
01:04:45The maid hurries away,
01:04:47the maid hurries away
01:04:47and comes back moments later,
01:04:49holding a glass of juice.
01:04:50I study the juice for a moment.
01:04:52I lift the glass
01:04:53and drink it down
01:04:54in one steady guilt.
01:04:56A few minutes pass
01:04:57before the same maid
01:04:58shows up again.
01:05:00I'm so, so sorry.
01:05:02I didn't mean for this to happen.
01:05:04She slips,
01:05:05and the entire drink
01:05:06splashes across my outfit.
01:05:09Catherine,
01:05:10I'm really sorry.
01:05:11The staff can be a bit careless.
01:05:12Why don't you slip
01:05:13into one of my dresses?
01:05:14I've got tons upstairs.
01:05:15You can use the guest room
01:05:16to change.
01:05:17Wow.
01:05:17The rules in this house
01:05:18are intriguing,
01:05:19to say the least.
01:05:20I hear every bit of the sarcasm.
01:05:22Sophia is practically mocking Jolene,
01:05:24who acts like she owns the place.
01:05:26The maid exhales,
01:05:27relieved beyond measure,
01:05:29and hurries forward.
01:05:30I start after her,
01:05:31but pause to throw Jolene
01:05:32one last look.
01:05:34The maid leads me
01:05:35far inside the mansion,
01:05:37to a guest room.
01:05:38As soon as she leaves,
01:05:39the door shuts quietly,
01:05:40and I hear the lock
01:05:42slide into place.
01:05:44I go over to check the window,
01:05:46but it's stuck tight,
01:05:47probably locked from the outside.
01:05:50A strange warmth
01:05:51begins spreading under my skin.
01:05:53I take a steady breath,
01:05:55pull a small ceramic file
01:05:57from my pocket,
01:05:58and swallow an antidote.
01:06:00I had drunk the tampered juice
01:06:02simply because I wanted to see
01:06:03the full extent of Jolene's trap.
01:06:09A few moments later,
01:06:11I hear faint,
01:06:12uneven footsteps
01:06:13outside the door.
01:06:15I lay down on the bed,
01:06:17completely still and quiet.
01:06:20The door creaks open slowly.
01:06:24Getting impatient, huh?
01:06:26Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:06:28I'll take real good care of you.
01:06:31But suddenly,
01:06:32my eyes snap wide open.
01:06:36The scream tears from him.
01:06:39He crumples to the floor
01:06:40in an instant,
01:06:41folding over and wrigling
01:06:43on the carpet.
01:06:45I calmly step over him
01:06:47and shut the door behind me.
01:06:48I ease into the corner
01:06:50just outside,
01:06:51ready to watch.
01:06:52Not long after,
01:06:53Jolene appears,
01:06:54sneaking,
01:06:55cautiously down the hall.
01:06:59She presses her ear
01:07:00against the door,
01:07:01then pulls it wide open.
01:07:11She barely has time
01:07:13to register it
01:07:14before the man lunges at her.
01:07:18Stay away!
01:07:19Get off me!
01:07:20Man,
01:07:21pretty girl.
01:07:23The other one took a heap,
01:07:24but you?
01:07:25You'll do just fine.
01:07:26Don't you dare touch me.
01:07:28I'm a brown.
01:07:29Touch me and you're dead.
01:07:33Oh, man, yeah?
01:07:35That just makes it
01:07:36way more interesting.
01:07:38Ah!
01:07:39Ah!
01:07:40Help!
01:07:41Help!
01:07:42Let me go!
01:07:44After closing the door
01:07:46behind me,
01:07:47I calmly make my way
01:07:48back to the banquet hall.
01:07:50Sophia,
01:07:51who had earlier
01:07:51stood by my side,
01:07:53approaches with a warm smile
01:07:54and extends 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 to meet you.
01:08:02About 15 minutes later,
01:08:03a sudden disturbance
01:08:04breaks out
01:08:05outside the banquet hall.
01:08:06The crowd moves
01:08:07towards the guest room.
01:08:10As they get closer,
01:08:12heavy breathing
01:08:13and a woman's
01:08:13desperate screams
01:08:14reach their ears.
01:08:19Anne's face
01:08:20drains of color.
01:08:21What are you waiting for?
01:08:22Get that door down now!
01:08:24A few strong servants
01:08:26step up
01:08:26and smash the door open.
01:08:28Inside,
01:08:29the shocking scene
01:08:30unfolds
01:08:31for everyone to see.
01:08:33Jolene,
01:08:34her hair mussy
01:08:35and clothes rumpled,
01:08:36is pinned down
01:08:37by an unfamiliar man.
01:08:39Seeing the crowd
01:08:40at the doorway,
01:08:41she breaks down
01:08:42in tears.
01:08:43Mom!
01:08:43It was Catherine!
01:08:44She tricked me!
01:08:45She planned all of this!
01:08:50Despite the accusations,
01:08:51I don't flinch.
01:08:53Jolene,
01:08:54Jolene,
01:08:54where are you getting
01:08:54this from?
01:08:55The maid ruined my dress
01:08:57and you sent her
01:08:57to fetch me some clothes.
01:08:58But I waited ages
01:09:00and no one came
01:09:01so I left.
01:09:01When I left,
01:09:02the room was empty.
01:09:04I have no idea
01:09:05how you ended up here.
01:09:06How could you be so heartless?
01:09:09Jolene is your sister!
01:09:11I was with Miss Flynn
01:09:12in the banquet hall
01:09:13the entire time.
01:09:14Many guests
01:09:15can vouch for that.
01:09:16How can you stoop
01:09:18to such tactics?
01:09:20Regarding Jolene,
01:09:22we'll have a chance
01:09:23to question the man
01:09:23soon enough.
01:09:27What happened today
01:09:28was a private family matter.
01:09:30Anyone who breathes
01:09:31a word of it
01:09:31will be making
01:09:32an enemy
01:09:32of the Brown family.
01:09:34Anne grabs
01:09:34her trembling daughter
01:09:35and practically drags
01:09:37Jolene out.
01:09:38The man is also
01:09:39hauled away.
01:09:45What a night.
01:09:46You handled that
01:09:47like a pro.
01:09:51It was simply
01:09:52responding to
01:09:52what she started.
01:09:54If she had stayed
01:09:55in her lane,
01:09:55none of this
01:09:56would have happened.
01:09:57Time after time
01:09:58Jolene tried to
01:09:59set me up.
01:10:00Did she really think
01:10:01I was still
01:10:02the same Catherine
01:10:02who'd just
01:10:03take it lying down?
01:10:05What happened tonight?
01:10:06She brought it
01:10:07on herself.
01:10:09Morning sunlight
01:10:10pours in through
01:10:11the large window
01:10:11casting soft highlights
01:10:12across his sharp jawline.
01:10:15Mr. Warren.
01:10:16Morning.
01:10:17Let's get started.
01:10:17Without hesitation,
01:10:18he reaches for the
01:10:19buttons of his shirt
01:10:20and pulls it up,
01:10:21exposing his bare chest.
01:10:23I slip into
01:10:23professional mode,
01:10:25pick up my medical kit
01:10:26and move to his side.
01:10:28Need a hand
01:10:29handling the Browns?
01:10:30My hands work
01:10:32with practiced confidence.
01:10:34Not right now.
01:10:35I've got it covered.
01:10:37Once the session
01:10:38wraps up,
01:10:39I'm packing away
01:10:40my tools
01:10:41when Liam
01:10:42slowly pushes
01:10:43off the sofa.
01:10:44He stands steady,
01:10:45clear-headed.
01:10:46You're healing well.
01:10:48You're really skilled
01:10:49at this.
01:10:50Thanks.
01:10:51Keep this up
01:10:52and one more session
01:10:53and you'll be good as new.
01:10:54Once I'm fully better,
01:10:55what do you want
01:10:56in exchange?
01:10:57You've already paid
01:10:58for the treatments,
01:10:59but if I ever need
01:11:00help down the road,
01:11:01I hope you'll remember
01:11:02the understanding
01:11:02we have today.
01:11:04Sounds fair.
01:11:05Just then,
01:11:06a knock comes at the door
01:11:07and a maid enters.
01:11:08Sir,
01:11:08Mr. Cassius Warren
01:11:09has arrived.
01:11:10His tone turns icy
01:11:12in an instant.
01:11:12The smile that had just
01:11:13been there
01:11:14disappears completely.
01:11:15Tell him to wait
01:11:16for me in the living room.
01:11:17When I enter the living room,
01:11:19a man in a dark gray suit
01:11:20glances my way.
01:11:22He appears to be
01:11:23in his 50s,
01:11:24sharing some resemblance
01:11:25with Liam.
01:11:31Our eyes lock
01:11:32for a moment.
01:11:33I simply give a small nod
01:11:34and exit smoothly.
01:11:38The intense,
01:11:39almost threatening look
01:11:40from that middle-aged man
01:11:42has set off warning bells
01:11:43in my mind.
01:11:47I let out a soft sigh.
01:11:48I deliberately instruct
01:11:50my driver to take
01:11:51several detours
01:11:52just to make sure
01:11:53no one is tailing me
01:11:54before finally heading
01:11:55back to my apartment.
01:12:00No sooner have I settled in
01:12:02than my phone rings.
01:12:03It's Sophia.
01:12:29Sophia goes off
01:12:30to find a parking spot,
01:12:31leaving me to make my way
01:12:33into the building.
01:12:40Just as I step
01:12:41into the lobby,
01:12:42ready to catch
01:12:43the elevator up,
01:12:44I bump on Jalene.
01:12:54Catherine?
01:12:55What are you doing here?
01:12:57So, you're here
01:12:58for the gala?
01:12:59You have an invitation,
01:13:00I hope.
01:13:01Whose little lapdog are you?
01:13:03Running wild
01:13:04and barking at everyone
01:13:05without a care.
01:13:08Excuse me?
01:13:09Who exactly
01:13:10are you insulting?
01:13:11Listen, Catherine,
01:13:12you can't just
01:13:13waltz into this kind
01:13:14of event
01:13:15wearing a dress.
01:13:16Without a real invite,
01:13:18you'll end up humiliated
01:13:19when security
01:13:20shows you the door.
01:13:22Come on, Catherine.
01:13:23Ready to head up?
01:13:25Let's not keep
01:13:26the others waiting.
01:13:37Don't pay her
01:13:38any mind.
01:13:39The organizers
01:13:40gave me two invitations
01:13:41this year.
01:13:42I smile back,
01:13:43appreciating Sophia's
01:13:45subtle way
01:13:45of handling things.
01:14:00Everyone,
01:14:01meet my friend
01:14:02Catherine Brown.
01:14:03I hope you'll look out
01:14:04for her from now on.
01:14:05This gala really is slipping.
01:14:07Apparently just anyone
01:14:08can walk in now.
01:14:09Some people really
01:14:10try too hard,
01:14:11as if showing up here
01:14:13will magically upgrade
01:14:14their pleas in society.
01:14:17Watch your mouth.
01:14:18Catherine is a brown.
01:14:20Have some respect.
01:14:21Please don't be harsh.
01:14:22My sister doesn't
01:14:23attend events
01:14:24like this often.
01:14:25She's just here
01:14:25to get some exposure.
01:14:27Don't go snapping
01:14:28photos willy-nilly.
01:14:30If I see you
01:14:31flooding social media
01:14:32with our images
01:14:32just to boost your status,
01:14:34I won't hesitate
01:14:35to sue.
01:14:45If you want to play dirty,
01:14:46I'll give you
01:14:47a front row seat.
01:14:49Your status comes
01:14:50from flaunting
01:14:51fake jewelries?
01:14:53And what would a
01:14:54country girl like you
01:14:55possibly understand
01:14:56about jewelry?
01:14:58That's Maris Core,
01:15:00an iconic design
01:15:01by Davina Gemma
01:15:02from the 60s,
01:15:03centered around
01:15:04a rare cushion-cut diamond
01:15:05framed by a dozen emeralds.
01:15:08The real necklace
01:15:09was sold
01:15:09at last year's
01:15:10Veritas auction
01:15:11for $36 million,
01:15:12bought anonymously.
01:15:15I have to admit,
01:15:16you've got an eye
01:15:17for quality.
01:15:18It is lovely,
01:15:19I'll give you that,
01:15:20but the issue
01:15:20is that yours
01:15:21isn't authentic.
01:15:22Yes,
01:15:23the center stone
01:15:23is about the right size,
01:15:24but it's missing
01:15:25the clarity
01:15:26a genuine one
01:15:26would have.
01:15:27They look like
01:15:28fresh lab-made pieces.
01:15:29You're talking nonsense!
01:15:31My father gave this
01:15:32to me for my birthday!
01:15:33Janice,
01:15:34don't let my sister
01:15:35get to you.
01:15:36She's been out of touch
01:15:37for years,
01:15:37she probably hasn't even
01:15:38seen jewelry
01:15:39of this caliber.
01:15:40It's easy for her
01:15:41to misjudge.
01:15:42I stay calm,
01:15:43shifting my gaze
01:15:44to the other woman's wrist.
01:15:45Your bracelet
01:15:46actually has
01:15:47decent translucency,
01:15:48but it's been
01:15:49chemically treated
01:15:50and filled with resin.
01:15:51Wearing that too long
01:15:53isn't good for your health,
01:15:54just so you know.
01:15:55The woman snatches
01:15:56her hand back,
01:15:57going pale.
01:16:00I turn to Jolene.
01:16:02Your necklace
01:16:03is no better,
01:16:04Jolene.
01:16:05Those diamonds
01:16:06look fake too.
01:16:08Jolene's fingers
01:16:09shoot toward her ear
01:16:10but stop halfway.
01:16:12The whole hall
01:16:12goes completely still.
01:16:15That was savage.
01:16:17You nailed
01:16:18that comeback perfectly.
01:16:22I take a sip
01:16:23from my glass
01:16:23and feel
01:16:24not a trace of guilt.
01:16:25Fake jewelry?
01:16:27Fine.
01:16:28Wear it quietly
01:16:29and no one
01:16:29will say a word.
01:16:30But you had to
01:16:31step on me
01:16:32to feel taller.
01:16:33So don't blame me
01:16:34for exposing
01:16:34your fake jewelry.
01:16:36Just you wait!
01:16:38I'm calling in
01:16:39a top jewelry expert
01:16:41right now!
01:16:43Be my guest.
01:16:45Relax, Janice.
01:16:46It's a beautiful day.
01:16:48There's no need
01:16:49to let some
01:16:49petty nonsense
01:16:50spoil it.
01:16:51Petty?
01:16:52This isn't just
01:16:53about me wearing
01:16:54a fake!
01:16:55She's insulting
01:16:56the honor
01:16:56of the whole
01:16:56Lopez family!
01:17:08The craftsmanship
01:17:09is extraordinary
01:17:09but something
01:17:10is off.
01:17:11The cut
01:17:12and the color
01:17:13don't match
01:17:13the authentic
01:17:14Mariscore.
01:17:16Miss Lopez,
01:17:18I'm afraid
01:17:19this necklace
01:17:19is indeed
01:17:20a replica.
01:17:24The craftsmanship
01:17:26is exceptionally
01:17:26convincing,
01:17:27almost flawless.
01:17:28But as Miss Brown
01:17:29pointed out,
01:17:30the cutting style
01:17:30and the emerald shade
01:17:31reveal subtle differences.
01:17:33Impressive eye,
01:17:34Miss Brown.
01:17:35Only the most
01:17:36skilled experts
01:17:36can detect
01:17:37such subtle distinctions.
01:17:38May I ask
01:17:39who has been
01:17:39your teacher?
01:17:41My mentor
01:17:42is Langston Moore.
01:17:45So you are
01:17:46the esteemed
01:17:46protege
01:17:47of Mr. Moore.
01:17:48An honor
01:17:48to meet you
01:17:49at last.
01:17:50Your championship
01:17:51at the last
01:17:51international competition
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 Langston
01:17:57Moore's student.
01:18:00That's the world's
01:18:01top jewelry appraiser.
01:18:03The Lopez family
01:18:04really embarrassed
01:18:05themselves today.
01:18:06I can't stay here.
01:18:07I can't let them
01:18:08see me like this.
01:18:17Catherine,
01:18:19when did you
01:18:20pick all this up?
01:18:21You never said
01:18:22a word about it
01:18:23to any of us.
01:18:25There's a lot
01:18:26you don't know,
01:18:27mostly because
01:18:28you never bothered
01:18:28to ask.
01:18:33Catherine,
01:18:33what have you done
01:18:34to Jolaine now?
01:18:35I don't know
01:18:35what you're talking
01:18:36about, Austin.
01:18:36I've been sitting
01:18:37here all night
01:18:37and Jolaine
01:18:38hasn't said
01:18:38a word to me
01:18:39and I'm not
01:18:39the one who's
01:18:40been sending
01:18:40her all those
01:18:40blue roses.
01:18:43Austin,
01:18:44shouldn't you
01:18:44find out
01:18:45what really
01:18:45happened first?
01:18:46It's Catherine
01:18:47who got wrong
01:18:47today.
01:18:48What about
01:18:48Miss Lopez?
01:18:49How could you
01:18:50upset her
01:18:50and make her
01:18:51cry?
01:18:51You're going
01:18:52to the Lopez
01:18:53residence right
01:18:53now to apologize.
01:18:55Apologize?
01:18:55For what?
01:18:57Telling the truth
01:18:58and exposing
01:18:59Janice's fake
01:18:59jewelry in front
01:19:00of everyone?
01:19:01What nonsense?
01:19:03Miss Lopez
01:19:03wouldn't be caught
01:19:04dead wearing
01:19:05fakes.
01:19:05You're just
01:19:06making up lies
01:19:06to slander her,
01:19:07Mr. Brown.
01:19:08Miss Brown's
01:19:09assessment is
01:19:09absolutely right.
01:19:11This Mari's core
01:19:11necklace is a very
01:19:12well-maked replica
01:19:13and her appraisal
01:19:14skills surpass even
01:19:15mine.
01:19:16Isn't Austin being
01:19:17way too biased?
01:19:18He's not even
01:19:18listening to the
01:19:19expert.
01:19:20I heard the
01:19:20Browns kicked out
01:19:21their own
01:19:21biological daughter
01:19:22to make room
01:19:23for that adopted
01:19:24girl Jolaine.
01:19:25How ridiculous.
01:19:27Still, you had
01:19:27no right to
01:19:28humiliate Miss
01:19:28Lopez like that
01:19:29in public.
01:19:30Our families have
01:19:31shared a close
01:19:32bond for generations.
01:19:33Did you ever
01:19:34stop to think
01:19:34about how damaging
01:19:35this could be
01:19:35for the Brown
01:19:36group?
01:19:37But what about
01:19:37when Janus
01:19:38openly mocked me
01:19:38for being from
01:19:39the countryside?
01:19:40When they all
01:19:40schemed together
01:19:41to humiliate me
01:19:42in front of
01:19:42everyone?
01:19:43Did anyone
01:19:43ever care how
01:19:43that felt?
01:19:44Have any of
01:19:45you truly
01:19:45treated me
01:19:46like family
01:19:46at all?
01:19:47If not,
01:19:47then I,
01:19:48Catherine,
01:19:48and the Browns
01:19:49are better off
01:19:50going our
01:19:50separate ways
01:19:50from this day
01:19:51forward.
01:19:52Sorry for the
01:19:53disruption and
01:19:54ruining everyone's
01:19:55good time.
01:19:55I'll be taking
01:19:56my leave now.
01:19:59The days passed
01:20:00quietly, with
01:20:01nothing but my
01:20:02regular school
01:20:03routine and lab
01:20:04work.
01:20:04Jolaine had kept
01:20:05an unusually low
01:20:06profile ever since
01:20:07the banquet, not
01:20:08daring to provoke
01:20:09me again.
01:20:14So many missed
01:20:15calls, what's
01:20:16going on?
01:20:20Why are you
01:20:21answering Aunt
01:20:22Justina's phone?
01:20:22What happened
01:20:23to her?
01:20:23Watch your tone
01:20:24with me, you
01:20:25ungrateful brat!
01:20:26I haven't even
01:20:27dealt with the
01:20:27mess you made!
01:20:28Thanks to you
01:20:29offending Miss
01:20:29Lopez, the
01:20:30Lopez group has
01:20:30just terminated
01:20:31all their
01:20:31cooperation with
01:20:32us.
01:20:33You will find
01:20:33time to go to
01:20:34the Lopez residence
01:20:35and apologize to
01:20:36Miss Lopez
01:20:36immediately!
01:20:37Keep dreaming.
01:20:38You ungrateful
01:20:39little wolf.
01:20:40If you refuse to
01:20:42listen to me, are
01:20:43you planning to
01:20:44ignore your aunt's
01:20:45life and death
01:20:45situation too?
01:20:46What happened
01:20:47to Aunt Justina?
01:20:48Brain tumor.
01:20:49It's pressing
01:20:50directly on the
01:20:51nerves.
01:20:52Surgery is
01:20:53extremely risky.
01:20:54I'm on my
01:20:55way.
01:20:59Out of my
01:21:00way.
01:21:01Sign this!
01:21:02Sign the
01:21:02share transfer
01:21:03agreement and
01:21:04I'll let you
01:21:04inside to see
01:21:05her.
01:21:06How dare
01:21:07they use
01:21:08Justina's
01:21:08life as a
01:21:09bargaining chip?
01:21:10They have
01:21:10no bottom
01:21:11line.
01:21:12You crazy
01:21:12girl.
01:21:13If you dare
01:21:14lay a hand
01:21:14on me,
01:21:14you'll be
01:21:15condemned for
01:21:15your unfail
01:21:16behavior.
01:21:17Heaven will
01:21:17strike you
01:21:18down.
01:21:18Then move
01:21:19before I
01:21:21actually decide
01:21:21to follow
01:21:22through.
01:21:23Lawrence?
01:21:24Austin?
01:21:26Is that
01:21:27Catherine out
01:21:27there?
01:21:28Let her in.
01:21:38My poor
01:21:39little Catherine.
01:21:40They must
01:21:41have given
01:21:41her a hard
01:21:42time again.
01:21:46It's just
01:21:46the same
01:21:47old health
01:21:47problems,
01:21:48nothing to
01:21:48worry about.
01:21:49But were
01:21:50they bothering
01:21:51you out there
01:21:51just now?
01:21:52Don't worry
01:21:53about me.
01:21:54I'm perfectly
01:21:54fine.
01:21:55How are you
01:21:56feeling right
01:21:56now, really?
01:21:57Be honest
01:21:57with me.
01:21:58Justina, don't
01:21:59push yourself
01:21:59too hard.
01:22:00The doctors
01:22:00made it clear
01:22:01this condition
01:22:01can't wait
01:22:02any longer.
01:22:02Only Dr. Huxley
01:22:03Jones can perform
01:22:04this surgery
01:22:04with the highest
01:22:05success rate.
01:22:06Jolene practically
01:22:06bent over back
01:22:07to get him to
01:22:07agree to take
01:22:08the case.
01:22:09Show me her
01:22:09complete medical
01:22:10records and all
01:22:11the scan images
01:22:11right now.
01:22:12Justina has been
01:22:12nothing but kind
01:22:13to you your
01:22:13whole life,
01:22:14hasn't she?
01:22:14Now that she's
01:22:15gravely ill,
01:22:15you won't just
01:22:16sit back and
01:22:16let her die,
01:22:17will you?
01:22:17Here's the deal.
01:22:18Sign over the
01:22:18Brown Group shares
01:22:19to the family,
01:22:20and Jolene will
01:22:20convince Dr. Huxley
01:22:21to perform the
01:22:22surgery immediately.
01:22:22We're also willing
01:22:23to overlook the
01:22:23whole Ms. Lopez
01:22:24incident and not
01:22:25hold it against you.
01:22:26After all,
01:22:26we're still family,
01:22:27aren't we?
01:22:28Lawrence, Austin,
01:22:29how can you stoop so
01:22:30low as to use my
01:22:30sickness as a weapon
01:22:31against Catherine?
01:22:32This is absolutely
01:22:32shameless.
01:22:33I won't stand for
01:22:34this.
01:22:34Stop it right now.
01:22:35Aunt Justina,
01:22:36please don't be angry.
01:22:38Dad's just worried
01:22:38about all those
01:22:39Brown Group shares
01:22:40Catherine holds.
01:22:41If she's not careful,
01:22:42she could be taken
01:22:43advantage of,
01:22:44which would cause
01:22:45huge problems.
01:22:46That's why he wants
01:22:47to take this chance
01:22:48to get the shares
01:22:49back into the family's hands.
01:22:51Catherine,
01:22:52my condition is severe
01:22:54and it probably
01:22:55would get better.
01:22:57Even if you sign,
01:22:58the surgery might
01:22:59not work.
01:23:01I come to accept
01:23:02that you should
01:23:03leave while you
01:23:04still can.
01:23:05Aunt Justina,
01:23:07I'll be the one
01:23:07to perform your
01:23:08surgery.
01:23:09What could you
01:23:09possibly have to
01:23:10back that up
01:23:10with those so-called
01:23:11skills you picked
01:23:12up from nowhere?
01:23:13Catherine,
01:23:13don't make a fool
01:23:14of yourself and
01:23:14promise more
01:23:15than you can deliver.
01:23:15If Justina's
01:23:16condition worsens
01:23:17because of your
01:23:17arrogance,
01:23:18can you really
01:23:18bear the consequences?
01:23:19Can you live
01:23:20with that guilt?
01:23:20Then we'll just
01:23:21have to wait
01:23:21and see.
01:23:22And don't you
01:23:23ever dare use
01:23:24Aunt Justina
01:23:25as a pawn
01:23:25against me again.
01:23:26The next time
01:23:27you try,
01:23:27I won't hesitate
01:23:28to prove exactly
01:23:29what I am capable
01:23:30of.
01:23:30And you won't
01:23:31like the outcome.
01:23:32I'm not giving
01:23:33up on you.
01:23:34Aunt Justina,
01:23:36trust me.
01:23:37Leave everything
01:23:38to me.
01:23:38I promise
01:23:39I'll make you
01:23:40better.
01:23:41Catherine,
01:23:42I trust you
01:23:43completely.
01:23:44Fine!
01:23:45Have it your way,
01:23:46Catherine.
01:23:46Let's see
01:23:47how you
01:23:48handle this.
01:23:49Without Dr.
01:23:49Huxley,
01:23:50I don't think
01:23:50Justina has
01:23:51much time left.
01:23:52When this
01:23:52fails,
01:23:53and it will,
01:23:54you better not
01:23:54come crawling
01:23:55back to us
01:23:56to us on your
01:23:56knees begging
01:23:57for help!
01:24:07It's Zephira.
01:24:09Arrange for the
01:24:09highest-grade
01:24:10operating theater
01:24:10at Central Hospital
01:24:11immediately,
01:24:12with a full
01:24:12leading neurosurgery
01:24:13team on standby.
01:24:14I'll send over
01:24:15the full equipment
01:24:15list and surgical
01:24:16plan shortly.
01:24:17Understood,
01:24:17Dr. Zephira.
01:24:18We'll handle
01:24:19all the arrangements
01:24:19immediately.
01:24:20Everything will be
01:24:21ready before your
01:24:22scheduled surgery
01:24:22time.
01:24:27An internationally
01:24:28renowned surgeon,
01:24:29Dr. Zephira?
01:24:31That's the legendary
01:24:32neurosurgeon that even
01:24:32royal families can't
01:24:33book?
01:24:34No!
01:24:34No way!
01:24:35That's impossible!
01:24:36Catherine?
01:24:37That good-for-nothing
01:24:38girl who grew up in
01:24:39the countryside?
01:24:39How could she possibly
01:24:40have connections to
01:24:41someone of Dr.
01:24:42Zephira's caliber?
01:24:42It must be a
01:24:43coincidence!
01:24:43No, it can't be.
01:24:45She's just a worthless
01:24:46country girl.
01:24:47How could she know
01:24:47Dr. Zephira?
01:24:50Dad, Austin,
01:24:51don't jump to
01:24:51conclusions.
01:24:52It has to be a
01:24:53coincidence.
01:24:53There's no way
01:24:54Catherine has anything
01:24:55to do with this.
01:24:56She probably doesn't
01:24:56even know who
01:24:57Dr. Zephira is.
01:25:00Justina, I won't
01:25:01let anything happen
01:25:02to you.
01:25:02This surgery will
01:25:03be a success.
01:25:06Aunt Justina,
01:25:07it's me.
01:25:08I'll be the
01:25:09operatic surgeon for
01:25:09your procedure today.
01:25:11Don't be afraid.
01:25:12Just close your eyes
01:25:13and rest.
01:25:13When you wake up,
01:25:14this ailment will
01:25:15be gone completely.
01:25:17The patient is under
01:25:18general anesthesia.
01:25:19Vitals are stable.
01:25:20Let's begin the
01:25:21operation.
01:25:29My God,
01:25:30that surgical
01:25:31approach angle.
01:25:31It's so bold
01:25:32and intricate,
01:25:33yet it completely
01:25:34avoids all the
01:25:34critical functional
01:25:35areas of the brain.
01:25:36I've never seen
01:25:36anything like it.
01:25:37Look at that
01:25:37section technique.
01:25:38It's so steady.
01:25:39It's terrifying.
01:25:40Not a single
01:25:40tremor.
01:25:40Even when working
01:25:41so close to the
01:25:42nerve buns,
01:25:42this is beyond
01:25:43masterful.
01:25:45The patient's
01:25:46vital assigns remain
01:25:47stable throughout the
01:25:48procedure.
01:25:49The operation is a
01:25:50complete success.
01:25:54Please pay close
01:25:55attention to the
01:25:55patient's post-operative
01:25:56monitoring and care.
01:25:57Call me immediately if
01:25:59there are any changes in
01:26:00her condition.
01:26:00Absolutely, Dr. Zafia.
01:26:02We will strictly follow
01:26:03your post-operative care
01:26:04plan.
01:26:04It was the greatest
01:26:05honor of our careers to
01:26:06assist you in this
01:26:06surgery today.
01:26:13Doctor, how did it go?
01:26:15How was my sister?
01:26:16Was the surgery successful?
01:26:17It was an incredible,
01:26:18unprecedented success.
01:26:20The tumor was completely
01:26:21removed, with zero damage
01:26:22to the surrounding nerves
01:26:23and functional areas.
01:26:24The patient's vital
01:26:25signine stayed rock
01:26:26stolid the entire time.
01:26:27Honestly, it was nothing
01:26:28less than a medical miracle.
01:26:29Dr. Zafia's surgical
01:26:30skills are absolutely
01:26:31extraordinary, godlike even.
01:26:33I have to say, your
01:26:33Brown family is truly full
01:26:35of hidden talents.
01:26:36It's almost impossible
01:26:37to book Dr. Zafia for a
01:26:39surgery anywhere in the
01:26:40world, yet you managed to
01:26:41get her to come here
01:26:41personally.
01:26:42I'm genuinely curious.
01:26:43How did you manage to
01:26:44connect with her?
01:26:45How is this possible?
01:26:46How could that country
01:26:46girl have anything to do
01:26:47with Dr. Zafira?
01:26:48This can't be happening.
01:26:49We threatened her, we
01:26:50accused her, we tried to
01:26:50force her to sign away
01:26:51her shares, and she just
01:26:52saved Aunt Justina's
01:26:53life?
01:26:54Dr. Watts, thank you for
01:26:55your hard work today.
01:26:56It was our honor to work
01:26:57with you, Dr. Zafira.
01:26:58You have my word, we
01:26:59will monitor Miss Brown's
01:27:00condition 24-7 and
01:27:02strictly follow your
01:27:03post-operative care
01:27:03instructions.
01:27:05Could it be?
01:27:07Is Catherine actually
01:27:08Dr. Zafira herself?
01:27:10What kind of ridiculous
01:27:11nonsense are you spouting?
01:27:13That ungrateful fool
01:27:14knows nothing.
01:27:15She's just a worthless
01:27:16waste of space.
01:27:17There's no way she could
01:27:18be the world famous
01:27:19Dr. Zafira.
01:27:20Are you done running
01:27:21your mouth?
01:27:21If you're finished,
01:27:22step aside.
01:27:23I don't have time to
01:27:23waste on the likes of
01:27:24you.
01:27:25You, you ungrateful,
01:27:26rebellious girl.
01:27:27You think knowing that
01:27:28Dr. Zafira makes you
01:27:29something special?
01:27:30You probably spent all
01:27:31your money to beg her to
01:27:32come here.
01:27:32It's not like you have
01:27:33any real skill.
01:27:34I am Dr. Zafira.
01:27:36Aunt Justina's surgery
01:27:38was performed by my
01:27:39own hands from start
01:27:40to finish.
01:27:44No.
01:27:45Impossible!
01:27:46How could you possibly
01:27:46be Dr. Zafira?
01:27:47You're just a worthless,
01:27:48uneducated girl from the
01:27:49countryside.
01:27:49You're nothing!
01:27:50You're lying!
01:27:50Worthless!
01:27:51I'm the one who saved
01:27:52Aunt Justina's life.
01:27:53What have you done
01:27:54besides using her
01:27:54sickness as a weapon
01:27:55to try and steal from
01:27:56me?
01:27:57Catherine, why...
01:27:58Why didn't you tell
01:27:59us sooner?
01:28:00If you had told us
01:28:01who you were earlier,
01:28:02we wouldn't have...
01:28:02We wouldn't have
01:28:03treated you like that.
01:28:04We wouldn't have
01:28:05made so many mistakes.
01:28:07Wouldn't have what?
01:28:08Wouldn't have treated
01:28:09me like an outsider?
01:28:10Wouldn't have helped
01:28:11Jolaine bully me time
01:28:12and time again?
01:28:13Wouldn't have used my
01:28:13only family member's
01:28:14life to threaten me?
01:28:16Austin, do you even
01:28:17believe a single word
01:28:17you just said?
01:28:19Catherine doesn't need
01:28:20your fake, last-minute
01:28:21regrets.
01:28:22From this day forward,
01:28:22I will be the one
01:28:23to take care of her.
01:28:24You will never get
01:28:24the chance to hurt her
01:28:25again.
01:28:26Mr. Warren, this is
01:28:28just a private family
01:28:28matter of the Brown
01:28:29family.
01:28:30There's no need for
01:28:30you to get involved.
01:28:31Family matter?
01:28:32When you kicked her
01:28:33out of the house
01:28:33and left her homeless,
01:28:34did you ever think
01:28:35of her as family?
01:28:36You even used her
01:28:36aunt's life as a
01:28:37threat against her.
01:28:38When she was in
01:28:39danger, where were you?
01:28:40When she was bullied
01:28:41and even kidnapped,
01:28:42did you ever stood up
01:28:42for her even once?
01:28:43Enough, Liam.
01:28:45Talking to these
01:28:46people is just a
01:28:46waste of time.
01:28:48Let's go.
01:28:49Let's go.
