00:00:01My name is Brenna Barrett. For 20 years, I believed I was this family's daughter.
00:00:09That all changed today, when they found their real daughter.
00:00:12I finally realized I was nothing but a tool to them.
00:00:16Brenna, why must it come to this?
00:00:18We found our biological daughter, but that doesn't mean you have to leave.
00:00:23Take this money. Your biological parents are dirt poor.
00:00:26I doubt they can even send a car to pick you up.
00:00:28There's probably no more than $1,000 in that envelope.
00:00:31That's what 20 years in this family is worth.
00:00:36No need. They have already sent a car.
00:00:39Brenna, what's with that attitude?
00:00:41We raised you for 20 years and you can't even say thank you?
00:00:45Mom, don't blame her. She never even finished elementary school.
00:00:49What manners could she possibly have?
00:00:51Right. I never finished elementary school.
00:00:55Because when I was 10, they forced me to stay home drawing blueprints.
00:00:59Turning me into their money-making machine.
00:01:02Your wealth.
00:01:03Your company.
00:01:05The reason you're where you are today.
00:01:09All of it is because of my designs.
00:01:11Nonsense!
00:01:12The Barrett family's success is built on our own hard work.
00:01:17Goodbye.
00:01:18Goodbye.
00:01:19I turn and leave.
00:01:20My backpack hangs on my shoulder.
00:01:23I don't look back.
00:01:25Brenna, wait!
00:01:26I have a parting gift for you.
00:01:29This bracelet costs over $100,000.
00:01:33If things get tough, you can sell it for emergencies.
00:01:39I don't need it.
00:01:42Just as she forces it into my hands, her fingers hook the chain, peeking out from my backpack's
00:01:48side pocket.
00:01:51Brenna!
00:01:52How dare you steal my necklace?
00:01:55That's my engagement necklace from Geordi.
00:01:58Worth $1,800,000.
00:02:00I see the sly glint flashing through Isabella's eyes.
00:02:04This was a trap she set.
00:02:06She's been waiting for me to jump in.
00:02:07And that so-called gift is the fuse that's about to ignite everything.
00:02:12Brenna!
00:02:12How dare you steal my necklace?
00:02:14Brenna!
00:02:15Isabella's scream draws Alec and Ruby.
00:02:17They rush over, staring at the necklace in Isabella's hands.
00:02:20Their faces filled with disappointment.
00:02:23Brenna, I offered you money.
00:02:25And you turned it down?
00:02:26Only to do this?
00:02:29She must have thought the money was too little, so she helped herself to something more valuable.
00:02:33I didn't steal the necklace.
00:02:35Then explain why it ended up in your bag.
00:02:37I stare at the necklace.
00:02:39The chain is thick.
00:02:40The stones are large.
00:02:42But the craftsmanship is crude.
00:02:43The cut and color matching are beneath standard.
00:02:47I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something this poorly made.
00:02:51Besides, when I packed my things in the attic, that necklace wasn't in my bag.
00:02:55It was you, Isabella, who slipped it in with your own hands.
00:02:59Shut up, you ungrateful brat!
00:03:01We raised you, and this is how you repay us?
00:03:05Mom!
00:03:11Though she stole my necklace and my design drafts.
00:03:13Since we're family, I'll let this slide.
00:03:18I watch her wave a blue folder in the air, and I can't help but laugh.
00:03:25Those are my designs.
00:03:26A nuclear-powered cargo ship propulsion system.
00:03:29Take a good look.
00:03:30The title is written in Amlin's language.
00:03:32You never even finished elementary school.
00:03:35How could you possibly understand any of this?
00:03:37I hold the blueprints up to the light.
00:03:40In the lower right corner,
00:03:43my personal anti-counterfeit watermark faintly appears.
00:03:46This is my personal mark.
00:03:50Feel free to compare it to Isabella's designs.
00:03:54Hers are all garbage.
00:03:57Isabella!
00:04:00Isabella,
00:04:00I thought these were trash, so I threw them in the trash can.
00:04:05These are your design drafts.
00:04:07The air creases.
00:04:09I look at Alec's ashen face,
00:04:11and suddenly feel a deep, bitter irony.
00:04:14They never knew.
00:04:15I've long stopped being that little girl they could push around.
00:04:19When I walk out of the Barrett house, my phone buzzes.
00:04:22It's a message from someone claiming to be my sister.
00:04:25She says the family is tied up with work,
00:04:27and wants me to go to Flavor Restaurant first.
00:04:30The most exclusive establishment in Shire,
00:04:33with a minimum spend of $10,000.
00:04:36Excuse me.
00:04:37Are you Miss Brenna Harper?
00:04:40The lady from the Harper family waited for over an hour,
00:04:43but had to leave for an urgent matter.
00:04:45The dishes are all served.
00:04:46Please enjoy.
00:04:48A table full of dishes spreads before me.
00:04:51I sit alone at a large round table that can seat six.
00:04:56I thought this was the first warmth for my biological family.
00:05:01Miss, could you please settle the bill?
00:05:04The total is $109,800.
00:05:07If you fail to pay, I'll have no choice but to call the police.
00:05:17Can't even afford a meal, and you dare to come to a place like this?
00:05:22How about this?
00:05:23Kneel down and polish my shoes.
00:05:24Because I'll pay your bill for you.
00:05:29Sylvie Higgins,
00:05:30Vivian Morrison,
00:05:32two rich girls in haute couture and flawless makeup.
00:05:36Who are you?
00:05:37I don't know you.
00:05:40Who we are doesn't matter.
00:05:43What matters is that you don't belong here.
00:05:50Vivian raises her hand.
00:05:52I see the undeguised malice in her eyes.
00:05:56A hand grabs her wrist from behind.
00:05:59The man is Ethan Mitchell.
00:06:01The world's richest man, head of the Mitchell group.
00:06:04How dare you cause trouble at Flavor Restaurant.
00:06:07He's the kind of man who calls the shots and she rear.
00:06:12Mr. Mitchell?
00:06:15Mr. Mitchell,
00:06:16the person who instructed the waitress and these two ladies to cause trouble is Rosie Harper.
00:06:21Now tell me,
00:06:23how dare you bully my fiancé?
00:06:25The entire restaurant falls silence in an instant.
00:06:29I stare at this devastatingly handsome man.
00:06:32Only one thought in my mind.
00:06:35Since when did I become his fiancé?
00:06:38Rosie Harper is my real parent's niece.
00:06:40When she walks in from the entrance,
00:06:42a sweet smile is still plastered on her face.
00:06:45She sees Ethan first.
00:06:47Then me.
00:06:49Ethan!
00:06:50What are you doing here?
00:06:51Rosie,
00:06:52explain.
00:06:54Why do this waitress and these two ladies all say you were the one who instructed them to pick on
00:06:58Brenna?
00:07:00Me?
00:07:01How could I possibly do something like that?
00:07:03Brenna is my cousin.
00:07:05Rosie,
00:07:05I have your transfer records.
00:07:07You paid me $5,000 to demand payment from Brenna.
00:07:10I also have our chat logs to prove it.
00:07:12Every transfer record and chat logs is highlighted in red.
00:07:16Sylvie and Vivian both avert their eyes from Rosie.
00:07:19Mr. Mitchell,
00:07:20the private room at Flavor Restaurant has surveillance.
00:07:23Miss Rosie remained there for over an hour during which she repeatedly called the waitress.
00:07:27And these two ladies,
00:07:28the timestamps and call records align perfectly with the sequence of events.
00:07:32I'm sorry,
00:07:33I'm sorry,
00:07:33Brenna.
00:07:34I was just trying to play a prank.
00:07:35I never meant to actually hurt you.
00:07:36A prank?
00:07:38You ordered over $100,000 worth of food and had a waitress force a person who was just kicked out
00:07:42of her home to pay.
00:07:43If Ethan hadn't come,
00:07:45I'd be at the police station right now.
00:07:47Sylvie Higgins,
00:07:48Vivian Morrison.
00:07:49On behalf of Mitchell Group,
00:07:50I am formally informing you,
00:07:52all our collaborations with Higgins Group and Morrison Group are terminated.
00:07:56Effective today.
00:07:57Sylvie's and Vivian's faces turn as white as paper.
00:08:00They know Ethan's punishment is a devastating blow to their families.
00:08:03All because they came here today and humiliated me.
00:08:07Rosie,
00:08:08you're a Harper,
00:08:09so I'll let this go today.
00:08:10But if you make things difficult for Brennan again,
00:08:12I won't hold back.
00:08:14I promise this won't happen again.
00:08:16She lifts her head and gives Ethan a faint smile.
00:08:19But as she passes by me,
00:08:21I hear her whisper.
00:08:24You think this is over?
00:08:26This is only the beginning.
00:08:32The farce finally ends.
00:08:37Get in.
00:08:38I'll take you home.
00:08:44I get into a Rolls Royce driven by the world's richest man.
00:08:47The leather seats are soft.
00:08:51Thank you for helping me today.
00:08:53How about treating me to a meal?
00:08:56The world's richest man wants me to treat him to a meal.
00:08:59I can't help but laugh.
00:09:03He pulls out his phone to exchange contacts with me.
00:09:06I hesitate for a moment, but give in.
00:09:10The car smoothly enters an affluent neighborhood.
00:09:14My heartbeat quickens without me realizing it.
00:09:17Did you know there's a marriage arrangement between the Mitchell and Harper families?
00:09:21A marriage arrangement?
00:09:22I turn to look at him.
00:09:24He's gripping the steering wheel.
00:09:26And the profile of his face under the streetlights is like a perfect sculpture.
00:09:30It was arranged by my grandfather and yours.
00:09:32A son of the Mitchell family is to marry a daughter of the Harper family.
00:09:35For the past two years, my grandfather has been urging me to fulfill this promise.
00:09:39But I never took it seriously until I met you.
00:09:42Are you saying you want to marry me?
00:09:44Brenna, I want you to consider it.
00:09:45Marry me.
00:09:47The world's richest man is proposing to me.
00:09:49No flowers, no ring, no bended knee.
00:09:57I need to think about it.
00:09:59Fine.
00:10:00I'll wait for your answer.
00:10:03The car stops in front of a magnificent estate.
00:10:06Ethan's car disappears around the corner.
00:10:08I turn around and face the enormous iron gate.
00:10:12The Barretts told me my biological parents lived in a poor remote village.
00:10:17Yet this estate is clearly in the most expensive part of Shiri.
00:10:23I take a deep breath and press the doorbell.
00:10:25It rings three times.
00:10:27No one comes.
00:10:30The July sun beats down on me.
00:10:32Sweat drips down my forehead.
00:10:34They said they'd send someone to pick me up.
00:10:36Yet they won't even let me through the gate.
00:10:39It seems my real family doesn't care about me at all.
00:10:46Who are you looking for?
00:10:49I'm the daughter of the Harper family lost 20 years ago.
00:10:53Impossible.
00:10:54Rosie personally went to pick up Brenna.
00:10:56They should be arriving together.
00:10:57Did you hear the news and decided to impersonate her?
00:11:00I am Brenna Harper.
00:11:03Look at what you're wearing.
00:11:04You're dressed worse than us servants.
00:11:06How could the Harper family's eldest daughter dress like this?
00:11:08I stare at this middle-aged woman in a housekeeper's uniform.
00:11:12There isn't a shred of respect in her eyes.
00:11:14What's all the racket?
00:11:15Has Brenna come home?
00:11:17A man with gray-streaked hair steps out of the elevator.
00:11:20His steps are steady, and his gaze pauses on my face.
00:11:24I'm your uncle, Abelson Harper.
00:11:27You look exactly like your mother.
00:11:28I recognized you at first glance.
00:11:30Come in.
00:11:35Wow.
00:11:37My uncle leads me through the enormous living room.
00:11:40Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with sunlight.
00:11:43Your room is on the third floor, the one on the east side.
00:11:46It's been kept for you since the day you were taken.
00:11:50A suite that's 150 square meters.
00:11:52Separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom.
00:11:57Bigger than all the rooms in the Barrett house combined.
00:12:03I don't know what to say.
00:12:05A corner of my heart is slowly softening.
00:12:08She's dressed worse than us servants.
00:12:11Just because her face resembles Mrs. Harper's, she gets to be the eldest daughter of the Harper family?
00:12:16Only Rosie deserves this family.
00:12:18I won't let anyone take away what belongs to her.
00:12:23I peel off the clothes soaked through with sweat and step into the shower.
00:12:28The moment the hot water hits me, I nearly cry.
00:12:31At the Barrett's, I could only use the cold water left after they were done.
00:12:37I turn off the water and come out wrapped in a towel.
00:12:40But the bed is empty.
00:12:41My clothes and backpack are gone.
00:12:43Brenna!
00:12:45Brenna!
00:12:45Mrs. Harper didn't prepare any clothes for you.
00:12:47I took your clothes to be washed.
00:12:49This is an old dress of Rosie's.
00:12:51You'll have to make do for now.
00:12:53I stare at the wrinkled black dress.
00:12:55Sweat stains on the collar.
00:12:57Loose threads on the cuffs.
00:12:58Clearly worn and unwashed.
00:13:00She took everything I had and gave me someone else's dirty hand-me-down.
00:13:04She did this on purpose.
00:13:06Take it away.
00:13:07I'm not wearing that.
00:13:09Brenna!
00:13:09Don't be so ungrateful.
00:13:11You can't go to dinner wrapped in a towel, can you?
00:13:15Her face shows undisguised satisfaction.
00:13:17She leaves, leaving behind that ragged dress.
00:13:24Just as I sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what to do next,
00:13:28the doorbell rings.
00:13:32Brenna, your M&G order has arrived.
00:13:3553 pieces in total, worth $30 million.
00:13:37You've made a mistake.
00:13:39The Harper family's daughter is Rosie.
00:13:41Take all of this to her walk-in closet.
00:13:45Leave them.
00:13:46They're all mine.
00:13:50Brenna, these clothes total $30 million.
00:13:53Can you even afford them?
00:13:55You're mistaken.
00:13:56This is M&G's elite collection.
00:13:57Every piece is one of kind.
00:13:58Each garment is worth over $5 million.
00:14:00Besides, these are all gifts from Brenna's friend, the founder of M&G.
00:14:04Not a single cent needs to be paid.
00:14:05I watch Rachel's face shift from smugness to shock, then to anger.
00:14:09Rosie Harper, you sent your servant to humiliate me, but you forgot one thing.
00:14:15I have never been someone you can push around.
00:14:20At six in the evening, the Harper family members start returning home.
00:14:23I change into the beige, floral M&G dress and head downstairs.
00:14:27Rosie is sitting on the sofa, and the moment she sees me, a flash of hostility crosses her eyes.
00:14:33Here, Brenna.
00:14:34Brenna, I made you some ice cream.
00:14:39Brenna, how could you do this to me?
00:14:42I was kind enough to offer you ice cream, and you threw it all over me!
00:14:47Grandpa!
00:14:48Aunt Giselle!
00:14:49Look at me!
00:14:50This dress is brand new, and now it's ruined!
00:14:53Rosie rushes over, tears already streaming down her face.
00:14:58Before you scold me, please take a look at this.
00:15:01I pull out my phone and pull up the restaurant's surveillance footage.
00:15:04In the recording, Rosie smugly ordering the waitress to demand payment from me early is crystal clear.
00:15:10Rosie, I am so disappointed in you.
00:15:14Apologize to Brenna.
00:15:16Now!
00:15:17I'm sorry, Brenna.
00:15:19I shouldn't have played that prank.
00:15:22I look at Rosie.
00:15:23Her head bowed.
00:15:24Her apology is perfunctory.
00:15:28Giselle walk to my side and take my hand.
00:15:30Mom owes you too much.
00:15:33From now on, I won't let anyone bully you.
00:15:37I look at Giselle's reddening eyes.
00:15:39In 20 years at the Barretts, I've never felt this kind of warmth.
00:15:43The dinner table is covered in exquisite dishes.
00:15:46The air is filled with the aroma of black truffles and roasted meat.
00:15:51Brenna, I'm your father, Shepard Harper, and this is your mother, Giselle.
00:15:56He's the chairman of Harper Group.
00:15:58His eyes are gentle, but carry an unquestionable authority.
00:16:03Brenna, this is your eldest brother, Ernst.
00:16:07He manages the daily operations of Harper Group and is the company's vice president.
00:16:11I look at all these unfamiliar faces.
00:16:14Some warm, some cold.
00:16:16I don't know how to respond.
00:16:18I'm their family.
00:16:19But this is my first time sharing a meal with them.
00:16:23I heard you only attended elementary school for four years.
00:16:26Even if you struggled, you should have at least finished elementary school.
00:16:30If you hadn't come back to the Harper family, how would you survive?
00:16:35The entire table falls silent in an instant.
00:16:38All eyes focus on me and Ernst.
00:16:43You think I dropped out by choice?
00:16:46It was the Barretts' decision.
00:16:47They saw my design talent and stopped me from going to school.
00:16:51Forcing me to draw blueprints to earn money for them.
00:16:57Is that so?
00:16:58Then prove it to me.
00:17:00His eyes are cold.
00:17:01A faint trace of mockery at the corner of his lips.
00:17:04I set down my fork.
00:17:06It seems this family dinner is far from the simple affair I thought it would be.
00:17:10I will prove myself.
00:17:12But not now.
00:17:14Not here.
00:17:16I stand up and leave.
00:17:19Whispers rise behind me.
00:17:20But I don't look back.
00:17:22Actually I'm going out tonight.
00:17:24Someone referred a patient to me, offering 10 million dollars.
00:17:28It's more than enough for me to establish myself in the Harper family.
00:17:32I arrive as the last disciple of the legendary Dr. Cuthbert Pierce, to treat a retired military
00:17:38commander, Vincent Mitchell.
00:17:40What I don't expect is that he's Ethan's grandfather.
00:17:43You're Dr. Pierce's last disciple?
00:17:45You've got to be kidding me.
00:17:46How old are you?
00:17:48Barely 20?
00:17:48Lindsay Cohen, an attending physician at this hospital who made department head in her early
00:17:5330s.
00:17:54She looks at me with contempt.
00:17:55Young lady, do you even know who's lying in there?
00:17:58A retired military commander.
00:18:00Even experts like us aren't qualified to treat him.
00:18:03Who do you think you are?
00:18:05Landon Scott.
00:18:06A senior internal medicine specialist who's been in the field for over 20 years.
00:18:10He hasn't even asked my name and already decided I'm a fraud.
00:18:13We're waiting for Dr. Pierce's last disciple.
00:18:16Someone at least in their 40s.
00:18:18Experienced.
00:18:19Highly skilled.
00:18:20How could it be you?
00:18:22If you can actually treat the old commander, we'll apologize to you.
00:18:26Deal.
00:18:29I walk away and sit down on a chair in the corridor.
00:18:32If not for money, I wouldn't waste a second on these people.
00:18:36Ethan, where's Dr. Pierce's disciple?
00:18:38It's been over half an hour already.
00:18:41Theo Mitchell, Ethan's cousin.
00:18:43He's on the phone with Ethan.
00:18:44I glance at my watch.
00:18:46Christopher should be out of surgery soon.
00:18:48He's Dr. Pierce's grandson and my classmate from medical school.
00:18:52Only he can verify my identity.
00:18:54I watch the operating room doors at the end of the corridor.
00:18:58The doors finally open.
00:19:00Brenna?
00:19:01Why are you sitting out here?
00:19:03Shouldn't you be inside treating Mr. Vincent?
00:19:05Your colleagues said I'm a fraud.
00:19:07They kicked me out.
00:19:08What?
00:19:10Christopher's face flushes red in an instant.
00:19:12He turns around and glares at the group of doctors.
00:19:16Dr. Pierce?
00:19:17You know her?
00:19:19Of course.
00:19:20She's my grandfather's last disciple.
00:19:22You kicked her out as a fraud?
00:19:25Impossible.
00:19:26She's so young.
00:19:28My grandfather takes disciples based on talent, not age.
00:19:31Brenna earned dual master's degrees in medicine and mechanical engineering from Norview University at 18.
00:19:38And you chased away the only one who can actually save Mr. Vincent.
00:19:43Christopher pulls me back towards the hospital room.
00:19:46The doctors who were so arrogant moments ago now can't even look me in the eye.
00:19:53Everyone, this is Dr. Pierce's last disciple, Dr. Brenna Harper.
00:19:59No one speaks.
00:20:01I turn around and push open the door to Vincent's hospital room.
00:20:05Before me, the old man on the bed is barely conscious.
00:20:08His left side is completely paralyzed, his mouth drooping.
00:20:11His eyes are clouded.
00:20:12This is the most difficult kind of post-cerebral hemorrhage case.
00:20:15Outside, those people are still mummering about me.
00:20:18They believe a young woman like me can't possibly have real skill.
00:20:22Brenna, I believe in you.
00:20:23Ethan stands behind me.
00:20:25He's the only one who never questioned me.
00:20:28I take out the syringes from my medical kit and precisely locate seven nerve targets on Vincent's neck and left
00:20:34side limbs.
00:20:35Each medication formula is my own.
00:20:37Dosage, sequence, injection depth, off by a single millimeter and it fails.
00:20:43The room is quiet.
00:20:45Everyone holds their breath.
00:20:50My grandfather moves.
00:20:52It's only been minutes.
00:20:54But just as I'm about to leave, three uninvited guests suddenly burst through the door.
00:20:59Brenna, you wretched girl!
00:21:01You never even finished elementary school and you dare to impersonate a doctor here?
00:21:05Mr. Mitchell, you've all been deceived by her.
00:21:08We're the Barretts who adopted her.
00:21:10We know exactly what kind of person she is.
00:21:12Tell the Mitchell family the truth right now.
00:21:16I have no ties to the Barrett family anymore.
00:21:19Please leave.
00:21:20How could you say that?
00:21:22I'm your adoptive father.
00:21:24If you get into trouble, the Barrett family will suffer too.
00:21:30Mr. Mitchell, don't let her fool you.
00:21:33She's been sneaky and lazy since she was a child.
00:21:36I stare at Ruby's twisted face.
00:21:39You forced me to drop out when I was ten, keeping me home to draw blueprints for money.
00:21:43I designed for over ten hours a day.
00:21:46When did you ever let me study?
00:21:47That was to train you.
00:21:49Without our training, would you be where you are today?
00:21:52Enough.
00:21:53Neville, escort the Barrett family out.
00:21:56What are you doing?
00:21:57Don't touch me!
00:21:58Brenna, you're so ungrateful!
00:22:00Brenna, just you wait!
00:22:02You'll regret this!
00:22:06The Barretts are dragged out by security.
00:22:09Ruby's shrieks echoing through the corridor, but I feel nothing in my heart.
00:22:14Are you okay?
00:22:16I'm fine.
00:22:19I've been used to it for a long time.
00:22:22But, from now on, this won't happen again.
00:22:25Ethan stands in front of me.
00:22:27His presence somehow makes me feel safe.
00:22:29For the first time, I think having someone stand by my side might not be a bad idea.
00:22:37After the Barretts are taken away, the room falls again a quiet.
00:22:40But those doctors look embarrassed.
00:22:46Dr. Harper, please, don't hold it against me.
00:22:49I already bowed to you.
00:22:51Can we just let this go?
00:22:53You need to apologize to me.
00:22:55You!
00:22:57If you have a problem with that,
00:22:59I can have the hospital director come and mediate.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:05Please forgive me.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:16I shouldn't have judged you by your appearance.
00:23:19Okay.
00:23:20This is the end of it.
00:23:21I want more than just an apology.
00:23:23I need them to understand I am not someone anyone can walk all over.
00:23:33Dr. Harper, please, come here.
00:23:40Thank you for saving me.
00:23:43Mr. Vincent, you're welcome.
00:23:45Over the next month, you'll recover gradually.
00:23:49Vincent lifts his hand and grasps mine.
00:23:52He places my hand into Ethan's palm.
00:23:54His mouth curls up slightly.
00:23:56And he tightens his grip on my hand.
00:24:02Grandpa, don't worry.
00:24:04Once you've fully recovered, we'll get married.
00:24:07Ethan and I walk out of the hospital room.
00:24:10I notice the Barretts are still there.
00:24:13The moment Ruby sees me, she immediately puts on a fawning smile.
00:24:18Brenna, look at how outstanding you are.
00:24:21Isn't that all thanks to how we raised you, Mr. Mitchell?
00:24:24Everything Brenna has today is all thanks to the Barretts family.
00:24:29Her real parents are poor.
00:24:31They could never have given her this.
00:24:32I stare at Ruby.
00:24:34The light of calculation glimmers in her eyes.
00:24:37She thinks if she lashes onto the Mitchell family, the Barretts can rise again.
00:24:42Everything Barret Group has today came from my contributions.
00:24:47I owe you nothing.
00:24:48Brenna!
00:24:49You're an ungrateful wretch!
00:24:51Just you wait!
00:24:53Ruby's face finally tears away its mask.
00:24:56Her eyes are full of resentment, but I no longer care.
00:25:09Ethan offers me a ride, so we hop into his car.
00:25:17Has this seat been occupied by many people?
00:25:20No.
00:25:21My passenger seat is reserved for you.
00:25:25And from now on, only you.
00:25:29My heart skips a beat.
00:25:30His words are so blunt that I don't know how to respond.
00:25:35The moment we step out of the car, Rosie hushes over in her high heels.
00:25:40Ethan, you're here!
00:25:41Come help me!
00:25:42Do these clothes look good on me?
00:25:43She ignores me completely and leans close to Ethan.
00:25:47I'm here to drop off Brenna.
00:25:49Oh!
00:25:50Brenna, your mother ordered some clothes for you.
00:25:52I picked out a few for myself.
00:25:53You don't mind, right?
00:25:54I glance at the new clothes hanging all over the living room.
00:25:57Rosie already has over 20 pieces draped over her arm.
00:26:00She leaves behind only what she didn't want.
00:26:02I don't mind.
00:26:03Take them all.
00:26:05My fiancé's wardrobe.
00:26:06I'll take care of it.
00:26:07No need for the Harper family to trouble themselves.
00:26:10Rosie's expression changes in an instant.
00:26:13The clothes in her hands drop to the floor.
00:26:15Fiancé?
00:26:17Ethan, you said she's your fiancé?
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:26Brenna and I will be engaged soon.
00:26:28Brenna, you've only been back for a few days.
00:26:31Why do you get what I've been yearning for over ten years?
00:26:36I won't let you have your way.
00:26:39Ethan can only be mine.
00:26:50Erste!
00:26:51Listen to me!
00:26:52Brenna doesn't deserve Ethan at all!
00:26:54What's wrong?
00:26:55Her mother ordered her a bunch of new clothes today.
00:26:58I picked out a few for myself.
00:27:00And she was upset.
00:27:03Ethan even announced in public that she's his fiancé.
00:27:06Ethan was supposed to be mine!
00:27:09But now, Brennan's been back only a few days.
00:27:13And already snatched him away.
00:27:16Regarding the marriage arrangement,
00:27:18Ethan has never shown any interest in you.
00:27:21Don't flatter yourself.
00:27:23Stop dwelling on this.
00:27:25Why not think about how to manage the companies under your name?
00:27:28I come downstairs and happen to overhear their conversation.
00:27:34Ernst glances at me.
00:27:35His eyes still cold.
00:27:37Brenna,
00:27:38Rosie says Ethan announced in public that you're his fiancé.
00:27:41Is that true?
00:27:43Yes.
00:27:49You've only known each other for a few days.
00:27:53Why would he want to marry you?
00:27:55You can go ask him.
00:28:01Brenna,
00:28:02what right do you have to become Ethan's fiancé
00:28:05or inherit the Harper family's assets
00:28:08when you don't even have a college degree?
00:28:10Shepard's and D-Sayer see expressions both shift.
00:28:13Only Rosie has a faint smile on her lips.
00:28:16Who told you I don't have a degree?
00:28:18I stand up and retrieve a document folder from my backpack.
00:28:21Inside are all my diplomas and award records.
00:28:25These are my dual master's degrees in mechanical engineering and finance from Norview University.
00:28:31These are all the awards I've won in international design competitions over the past five years.
00:28:39Fake, fake, fake!
00:28:40They must be fake!
00:28:42Where would you get the money to study abroad?
00:28:45These have certificate numbers and official seals.
00:28:48You can verify them online.
00:28:50Dual master's degrees.
00:28:52Blanna is awesome.
00:28:57My child, you suffered so much at the Barrett's house
00:29:00and still achieved all this.
00:29:03You've surpassed both your brothers.
00:29:08No way.
00:29:11How could someone who never even finished elementary school achieve something like this?
00:29:16Even if these certificates are genuine, it doesn't mean you can run Harper Group.
00:29:21Harper Group is holding an automotive design competition next month.
00:29:24If you win first place, I'll acknowledge your capability.
00:29:27And if I win first place, what do I get?
00:29:311% of Harper Group's shares.
00:29:34I'll raise it.
00:29:35If Blanna wins, I'll also give her 1% of the shares.
00:29:39I want to compete too!
00:29:43If I win, those shares go to me.
00:29:46Rosie, you studied finance and management, not design.
00:29:51Why are you competing?
00:29:52I don't care!
00:29:54Why does she get so many shares just because she's back?
00:29:57I've been in the Harper family for 20 years
00:30:00and only got a measly half percent!
00:30:03Fine.
00:30:04If I lose, all the shares in my name go to you.
00:30:07I look at Ernst.
00:30:09He thinks I'm just putting on a brave front.
00:30:12But he doesn't know those years in Norville,
00:30:15the money I earned from design drafts,
00:30:17was more than Harper Group's annual profits.
00:30:21Brenna, there's an equestrian competition next Wednesday.
00:30:26A high-end social event.
00:30:28Do you want to go?
00:30:29Fine.
00:30:30I'll be there on time.
00:30:31Just wait.
00:30:33I'll humiliate you in front of all of Shiri's elite.
00:30:37Equestrian competition.
00:30:39Shira's largest race course.
00:30:41Million-dollar membership threshold.
00:30:45A playground for the rich.
00:30:49Brenna?
00:30:51You actually came here.
00:30:52The Barrett's are ruined, but you've latched on to a new man.
00:30:57Did Mr. Mitchell give you money for dresses?
00:30:59Isabella Barrett, the Barrett's real daughter.
00:31:02Jordie Barton, my snobbish ex-fiancé.
00:31:05Do you dare compete?
00:31:08Do you dare compete?
00:31:08Oh, can you even ride?
00:31:10I've already signed up for the competition.
00:31:12I just didn't tell them.
00:31:21Brenna, this is Ethan's racehorse, Onyx.
00:31:24He's letting me ride him.
00:31:26Mr. Mitchell still cares about Rosie.
00:31:28Some woman is just a passing fancy.
00:31:32Sylvia and Vivian, Rosie's two friends who harassed me at the restaurant, look at me with disgust.
00:31:39Have you picked a horse?
00:31:41If you can't ride, falling off is no small thing.
00:31:45Ethan told me Onyx was meant for me.
00:31:47Rosie claims he let her ride him.
00:31:50She thinks snatching my horse guarantees her victory.
00:31:53Well, I will show her what I've got.
00:31:56I wonder which fool bet on you to win.
00:31:58It was me.
00:31:58I bet 10,000 stakes.
00:32:0120,000 each.
00:32:02200 million total.
00:32:03If I win, it multiplies ton for d'or.
00:32:06Betting on Alex.
00:32:0720,000 each.
00:32:08100 stakes.
00:32:10Isabella swipes her card gleefully.
00:32:12None of them know on this track there's a legend called Knight who's never lost.
00:32:17And I'm Knight.
00:32:19I choose a bay filly that has never competed.
00:32:28Miss, this horse has never been on a racetrack.
00:32:30Are you sure?
00:32:32This is the one.
00:32:38Jordi, I'm scared.
00:32:39These are Shiree's riders?
00:32:41A bunch of worthless trash.
00:32:43Knight!
00:32:44Come out!
00:32:45Don't be a coward!
00:32:47Alex Espinosa.
00:32:48An Orwell rider undefeated for two years.
00:32:51The starting gun fires.
00:32:53Nine horses bolt forward.
00:32:55Only one stays completely still.
00:32:58Go!
00:32:59You stupid horse!
00:33:01If you can't ride, get off!
00:33:04Isabella's horse finally moves by throwing her off its back.
00:33:08She collapses on the ground, face drenched in tears.
00:33:17My focus is not on her at all.
00:33:20The white figure ahead.
00:33:21Alex.
00:33:23The person you've been searching for so long is right behind you.
00:33:34Sylvie and Vivian flank me from both sides.
00:33:37Jordi blocks me directly in front.
00:33:39They want Rosie to take first place, so I'm not allowed to overtake.
00:33:44Don't even think about passing!
00:33:49Brenna, a woman like you should stay in last place forever.
00:33:53Jordi swings his riding cock at my horse's eyes.
00:33:56I lean down and release the reins.
00:34:03Sweetheart, show them what you can do.
00:34:05The bay filly kicks hard and forces her way through a half-metre gap between Sylvie and Jordi.
00:34:11Both horses lose their footing.
00:34:13Both riders tumble to the ground.
00:34:23That girl is incredible!
00:34:26That girl is incredible!
00:34:30That girl is incredible!

00:37:57his right leg is twisted at an impossible angle

00:38:03staining the white coat red

00:38:31i remember we had a bet
00:38:36you haven't congratulated me yet
00:38:38that was just the beginning
00:38:39the real event is the design competition

00:38:51this is a betting agreement

00:38:55you give up everything
00:38:56these conditions are aimed at me

00:44:27they would likely be ranked in the top three
00:44:33even our most senior engineers
00:44:35couldn't create this alone
00:44:38it would take a team
00:44:41rosie sits alone in the cafe
00:44:43staring at those exquisite design drawings on the screen
00:44:46she doesn't know
00:44:47these aren't my competition entries
00:44:49i deliberately left these drawings on my laptop
00:44:52waiting for her to take the bait
00:44:53this is the second time i've caught rosie copying my files
00:44:59i step out of the closet quietly
00:45:01and stand behind her

00:46:31my engagement to brenta will not change
00:46:34ethan walks over
00:46:37his fingers lightly brushing the back of my hand
00:46:47the results are in
00:46:53there's no biological father-daughter relationship between brenta and shepherd right
00:47:05the first report

00:47:32between brenta harper and shepherd harper
00:47:39impossible this is impossible
00:47:41rosie my sample
00:47:43i personally pulled the hair from brenta's head and sent it myself
00:47:47why are you so certain she isn't a harper
00:47:50of the four tests
00:47:52three affirm brenta's lineage while only one contradict it
00:47:55the only set that denies
00:47:57happens to be the one you submitted
00:48:00rosie

00:48:04rosie opens her mouth
00:48:06not a single word comes out
00:48:11you were the one who took that sample directly from my hair
00:48:15why does it indicate i'm not a harper
00:48:19did you tamper with the test
00:48:26miss rosie harper
00:48:28what was your purpose in tampering with the samples

00:49:24but i won't forgive you
00:49:31rosie lifts her head
00:49:32a flash of venom crossing her eyes
00:49:35alec clutched that golden brossed invitation
00:49:38his hand trembling
00:49:41an invitation from the harper family
00:49:44they're holding a welcome banquet
00:49:46and specifically want us there
00:49:48the day brenta left
00:49:49her biological parents sent a car

00:49:54isabella jumped up from the sofa
00:49:58impossible
00:49:58aren't her real parents from some poor backwater
00:50:01i looked into it
00:50:02the harpers lost a daughter twenty years ago
00:50:06we adopted brenta exactly twenty years ago
00:50:10then she's someone we can't afford to offend
00:50:13we treated her like a servant
00:50:14framed her for theft
00:50:16and threw her out
00:50:17she hates us
00:50:19a cold glint flash in alec's eyes
00:50:22we raised her for twenty years
00:50:24she can't forget that debt
00:50:26and neither can the harpers
00:50:33dad

00:50:35she doesn't have a choice
00:50:38if we lash onto the harpers
00:50:40we can turn our fortunes around
00:50:44but what if she rejects us in front of everyone
00:50:47we'll be a laughing stock
00:50:48a menacing smile curled on alec's lips
00:50:52then we'll beg her in front of all of shiri's high society
00:50:57if she dares refuse
00:51:00she will be labeled ungrateful

01:23:19who knows which ghost designer you hired to draw those drafts

01:23:40the moment the blood sprays out
01:23:43isabella screams

01:23:48ethan walks into the lobby just in time
01:23:51and kicks dennis away
01:23:54security

01:23:57security drags dennis out
01:24:00isabella hesitates for a moment but follows him out
01:24:05brenna
01:24:07i'm sure you'll take first place today
01:24:09you've won so many international awards
01:24:13these competitors how could any of them compare to you
01:24:18the winner must have been decided in advance
01:24:20she's the harper family's daughter
01:24:22we're just here to make up the numbers
01:24:25i look at rosie's gentle smiling face
01:24:28every word of her praise is meant to draw hatred toward me
01:24:32rosie do you really think i'll be intimidated by others' skepticism
01:24:44actually miss brenna harper didn't grow up in the harper family
01:24:48she grew up in the barrett family
01:24:50my family knows her best
01:24:52she never even finished her elementary school
01:24:54her dual master's degrees and international awards
01:24:57all fake
01:25:01how is that possible
01:25:03didn't harper group say she graduated from mit
01:25:07you've all been fooled
01:25:11excuse me i'm tommy mccoy head of night studio
01:25:14every certificate of brenna's was archived by our studio
01:25:17the scanned copies of these certificates are now displayed on the main screen
01:25:25you're her people of course you'd speak up for her
01:25:27miss barrett you claim brenna never even finished elementary school
01:25:31then how do you explain that at the age of 10
01:25:34she designed an entire set of auto parts blueprints for the barrett group
01:25:38those blueprints are still in the barrett group's archives
01:25:45shall i pull them up for everyone to see
01:25:48the entire hall falls silent
01:25:50those who were whispering moments ago
01:25:52are now staring at the certificates on the big screen
01:25:56isabella's face goes red
01:25:57she's probably forgotten
01:25:59the very reason the barretts could expand their business
01:26:01was because of the designs i drew
01:26:03now using this to attack me will only make everyone realize
01:26:07the barretts not only abused their adoptive daughter
01:26:10they also plagiarized the work of a 10 year old child
01:26:15next is the anonymous voting segment
01:26:18all shortlisted works will be displayed only by entry number
01:26:22not author name
01:26:23every designer and judge present has one vote
01:26:28voting is closed
01:26:30the work currently ranked first is entry 132
01:26:34rosie almost jumps up
01:26:40but i see tommy step forward
01:26:42i object
01:26:43entry 132 is plagiarized
01:26:46this design is the award-winning work of our studio's lead engineer
01:26:49at the norview international golden wrench award four years ago
01:26:52every single line
01:26:53every single piece of data is identical to the original
01:27:03please provide evidence
01:27:05tommy opens his laptop and connects it to the main screen
01:27:09he pulls up the golden wrench award records
01:27:11the original design draft creation time stamps
01:27:14and the date stamps on every layer of backup
01:27:28confirmed entry 132 is identical to the golden wrench award-winning work
01:27:34this entry is disqualified
01:27:38according to the rules
01:27:40after disqualifying entry 132
01:27:42first place shifts to entry 133

01:27:52the entire hall erupts in thunderous applause
01:27:55i walk onto the stage and receive the trophy
01:27:58rosie sits in the audience
