00:00Jason actually brought his mistress to my house, and they were entangled on my bed.
00:05It's absolutely disgusting. I don't want to say a single word to him.
00:10Vivian? Listen to me, let me explain.
00:14Are you really turning your one true love into your mistress?
00:18No, no, no. She's not the mistress. You are.
00:21Celia's gentle and from an ordinary family. She'd suffer as mistress.
00:26Don't worry. I'll treat both my women fairly.
00:29So you mean, I'm supposed to be the mistress?
00:32I know you're generous, and you love me. Don't act like a bitter housewife.
00:35Jason shouted my full name and told me,
00:38The invitations are out. The whole city knows you're marrying me.
00:41Call it off now, and who will ever want you? I'm telling you, you will marry me, whether you like
00:45it or not.
00:46I stared at him for a long moment, so he wanted to use this to force me to give in?
00:51I called over the team of bodyguards waiting nearby.
00:53When we were dating, I didn't mind her calling me Vivian.
00:56We've already broken up. Please call me Miss Woods.
01:01Throw him out.
01:03Two guards grabbed his arms and dragged him away.
01:05How dare you? I'm her future husband.
01:07Why would I can have any man I want?
01:09You? You're just nobody.
01:11Today, you'll see why I walk through this city.
01:14As I please, throw him out.
01:17Thrown out like a dog.
01:19I thought I was done with the Hermans family for good, but a few days later, I got an invitation
01:23to their gala.
01:24I didn't do anything wrong.
01:26Why should I hide from them?
01:28Jason wanted his one true love, Celia, to marry him as well.
01:32Two women, one man.
01:34Then I'll show you the consequences of crossing me, Miss Woods.
01:37I had just stepped out of the car at the entrance of the gala.
01:39A woman in a pink dress, looking all delicate and beautiful, walked straight towards me.
01:44It was Celia Shaw.
01:45Hi, Vivian.
01:48Miss Woods, everyone here tonight is an elite.
01:51Why are you dressed so casually?
01:53Who the hell do you think you are?
01:55In this city, I wear whatever I want.
01:57No one dares to tell me otherwise.
01:58I sneered.
01:59Pulled out my phone.
02:01Mr. Wong, the Hermans gala tonight is at one of our Woods Group's hotels, right?
02:05Clear the hall immediately.
02:07Charge all losses to me.
02:08I thought Celia would behave herself after this.
02:11But unexpectedly, no sooner had I arrived at the banquet hall then.
02:15Jason showed up with Celia to pick a fight with me.
02:17Vivian!
02:18Celia was just trying to welcome you.
02:20How could you treat her like this?
02:21The smug Celia hid behind Jason.
02:23Welcome me?
02:24Who is she?
02:25The future wife of the Hermans family?
02:28People would think she's already married to you.
02:30Whispers spread through the crowd.
02:32Oh, what's there to fight about?
02:34Don't embarrass yourselves.
02:36You too.
02:37Vivian can wear whatever she wants.
02:40Who are you to question her?
02:41It was my fault.
02:42Please forgive me, Miss Woods.
02:44Don't blame Jason.
02:46It's all just a misunderstanding, Vivian.
02:48Don't be so upset about it.
02:50Mrs. Hermans.
02:52Jason.
02:52You came to my house a few days ago and forced me to be Jason's mistress.
02:56You wanted to marry Celia instead of me.
02:58Is that true?
03:00Attend a gala?
03:01No.
03:02I'm here to crash it.
03:04Mrs. Hermans' face turned pale.
03:05She glared at Celia, realizing someone had stirred the pot.
03:09That's not true.
03:10The alliance between the Woods and Hermans' families is a powerful union.
03:13She frantically defended herself.
03:15So, the Hermans know how ridiculous it is?
03:18I thought you had become so arrogant that you could bully the Woods.
03:23Vivian, you misunderstood.
03:24The Hermans never intended such a thing.
03:27So the whole mistress story was just a rumor?
03:31A mistake.
03:32It's all a mistake.
03:33Then Miss Shaw pretending to be the lady of the house?
03:36Is that also a mistake?
03:40Jason grabbed my wrist again.
03:42Vivian, enough.
03:44You'll marry into our family soon.
03:46If the Hermans' reputation got ruined, it would affect you too.
03:50From the start of our engagement, I knew Jason had a one true love in his heart.
03:53Over the years, I gave her designer bags and high-end makeup.
03:57Even though Jason doted on her more than me, I never said a word.
04:01I thought Jason was just pitying her.
04:03I didn't realize they had been having an affair all along, making me a fool.
04:07Celia lost her parents young and has no one to rely on.
04:11So I had to ask Jason to ask you to give her a place to stay after you two get
04:14married.
04:16Before the engagement, my mother warned me that Mrs. Hermans was not easy to get along with.
04:21Seeing her now, I knew my mom was right.
04:24After her little speech, I've become the villain.
04:26Now, people will only say the Hermans rushed things but had good intentions,
04:30and that they're unlucky to have such an arrogant daughter-in-law like me.
04:33Miss Woods is being too harsh.
04:35It's normal for successful men to have several lovers.
04:38Besides, didn't the Hermans and Jason discussed it with you nicely?
04:41Even if you're unhappy, you should have refused privately.
04:45The guest spoke with such earnest concern as if she were looking out for me.
04:49Mrs. Hermans and Jason both had a glint of triumph in their eyes.
04:52They seemed certain that I would agree to let Celia in, just to save my reputation and never mention this
04:57again.
04:57But I, Vivian Woods, can accept anything except a loss.
05:02Since you're so worried about your niece's future, Mrs. Lee over here seems to like Miss Shaw a lot.
05:07Why not let her take Celia home today?
05:09The Lee family is also a big name in the city.
05:12Since she's going to be a mistress anyway, isn't young Mr. Lee better than Jason, who's still living off his
05:17parents?
05:18Celia's eyes turned red.
05:20Miss Woods, why must you insult me like this?
05:22If you hate me so much, I'll prove my innocence today.
05:26Death is better than hearing you insult me!
05:29With that, Celia lunged toward a pillar.
05:32Celia!
05:32Jason cried out, catching the collapsing Celia in his arms.
05:36You bitch.
05:37If anything happens to Celia, I will never forgive you.
05:40When Chairman Woods returns, I'll demand to know how he raised such a daughter.
05:44Did they really think they mattered?
05:45Over the years, the Hermans family has leeched off the woods so much.
05:49Did they really believe their business success was due to their own talent?
05:52No need to ask him.
05:54You have no place to question my father.
05:56I came here today to give the Hermans a gift.
05:59These are the engagement gifts.
06:01I am returning them in full.
06:03From now on, we are strangers.
06:06What?
06:07Vivian, marriage is no joke.
06:10Put those away and stop sulking.
06:12Vivian, this is a formal marriage.
06:15Invitations are out.
06:17Cancel now and make the woods a city joke?
06:20Before we came, Grandpa was still scolding my dad for messing up the matchmaking.
06:24If I hadn't said I would take care of it myself, the Heath family would have gone hungry a long
06:28time ago.
06:28Mr. Hermans, are you deaf to plain human speak?
06:33I said, the engagement is cancelled.
06:37I've said it.
06:38I'm cancelling our engagement.
06:40You can't just call off the wedding without your parents' permission.
06:43Vivian, this ends now.
06:45If you don't like Celia, I won't touch her.
06:47Is that enough?
06:48I chose this marriage myself, and now I'm the one ending it.
06:52You're just upset.
06:53Your words don't count, Vivian.
06:56You're different from other girls.
06:57You're not gentle or listen to orders.
07:00But I don't mind.
07:01So don't always embarrass me.
07:03I'm human too.
07:04I get tired.
07:05Oh, he's human, but I'm not.
07:07When he was happy, he'd coax me with sweet words.
07:10When he wasn't, he'd give me the cold shoulder.
07:13He wanted me to bow my head and beg for his favor.
07:16Using my resources and connections just to make him happy.
07:19He's grown too used to the privileges I provided.
07:22He forgot that I am the one in power in this relationship.
07:28The moment the necklace shattered, I finally understood some people's hearts can never
07:31be warmed.
07:32What are you doing?
07:33I slapped him again.
07:35This slap wasn't aimed at his face.
07:37It was aimed at myself.
07:38At this foolish woman who believed that giving would earn her appreciation.
07:42I heard Madam Heath scream.
07:44How ridiculous.
07:45Every connection and every resource her son has enjoyed over the years.
07:49I graciously bestowed upon him when I was in a good mood.
07:54Are you all right?
07:55When Chamberlain returns, I am definitely going to file a serious complaint against her.
07:59Enough, Mom.
08:00Aren't you causing enough trouble already?
08:03Back at the Woods Villa.
08:04The encrypted email that Dad immediately sent from abroad.
08:07I had just picked up the tablet when I saw a man walk right up to me.
08:11I took a closer look.
08:13Wasn't this the little fatty who used to follow me around everywhere when we were kids?
08:17Your family comes from a long line of scholars, doesn't it?
08:20Why did you go into business?
08:23Didn't you say you looked down on weak, useless scholars, Ms. Woods?
08:27His crying annoyed me.
08:28I kicked him in the stomach.
08:30Stop crying.
08:31I haven't agreed to anything yet.
08:33Caleb suddenly grabbed my ankle, cradling it in his palm.
08:37Do you need a foot massage, Ms. Woods?
08:40You got yourself a chance to join this family.
08:44Go back.
08:45The betrothal gifts will be delivered to your place in a few days.
08:49I frowned, wondering how he got in.
08:52Vivian, are these your dowdrum?
08:55No.
08:56Vivian, drop the act.
08:57Your husband is here to apologize.
08:58You said the engagement was off in luck, but now you've apologized to Mom and let her see the
09:01doubtless.
09:02I rolled my eyes at him.
09:03A toad playing frog, ugly, but still showing off.
09:06Mr. Hermans, let me remind you once more.
09:08Our engagement is already canceled.
09:11If you have nothing else, please leave.
09:14Vivian, stop it.
09:17Vivian Woods, don't be so ungrateful.
09:20What are you going to do about it?
09:22Vivian, if you keep this up, I'll join forces with other families to sue you for breach of contract
09:27and for sabotaging our business alliance.
09:30My father has already ended our alliance.
09:33What?
09:34This was an agreement between families.
09:37You can't just cancel it like that.
09:38So what?
09:39My father is the richest man.
09:40I'm going to see Chairman Woods.
09:41I'll demand an explanation.
09:43Go ahead.
09:43But first, see if you can even get into the Woods Group building.
09:46I'm going to see Chairman Woods.
09:48I'll demand an explanation.
09:49He had tried to force his way in and was beaten by the security guards.
09:52He desperately pulled out the VIP card that the Woods had given him before.
09:56The guard snatched it, called it a fake, and beat him again.
09:59Only now did Jason realize that the Hermans family's prosperity had only existed because of me,
10:04because of the Woods family.
10:05Then, he heard the passers-by talking about me delivering gifts to Caleb Grant.
10:11She's a woman!
10:12How can she deliver betrothal gifts to a man?
10:15She's 25!
10:16How did she find a replacement so fast?
10:19I knew it!
10:21She must have been seeing a man behind back!
10:23That's why she broke the engagement!
10:25When he returned home, the long-absent Mr. Hermans was sitting in the living room.
10:29Dad, you were at the office.
10:31Why are you home so early?
10:34The office?
10:36I don't ever have to go back to the office again!
10:39They aren't a plant!
10:42The wedding day came.
10:44I was driving my limited-edition supercar to pick up my groom from the Grant residence
10:47when a disheveled man suddenly lunged into the road.
10:51Jason Hermans grabbed my legs and begged for forgiveness.
10:53Vivian, I was wrong.
10:55I shouldn't have treated you like that.
10:57I looked at Jason Hermans, waved, and had the bodyguards drag him away.
11:02Miss Woods!
11:03I was wrong!
11:04I'm your husband!
11:05I'm the one you're supposed to marry!
11:07If Jason hadn't broken his promises and betrayed me, the person getting married today would indeed
11:11have been him.
11:12But it's far too late.
11:14I can handle anything except being mistreated.
11:17When I reached Caleb Grant, he gave me a look full of grievance.
11:21Miss Grant, I thought there was going to be a second groom at our wedding today.
11:24Don't worry, I'm not a petty man.
11:26I don't mind if you keep a few more pets.
11:29As he spoke, tears started streaming down his face.
11:32One eye screamed, that wild man better watch his back, and the other screamed,
11:36I'm going to destroy him the moment I get back.
11:38I froze for a second, then burst out laughing.
11:41I realized he had heard about Jason.
11:43I reached out my hand and invited him into the car with me.
11:46Forget about mistresses.
11:48For a lifelong companion, one is more than enough.
