Short filmTranscript
00:00I was still a virgin at 18. I practiced on a mannequin every day.
00:05I wanted my first time to be perfect, to give my boyfriend the best experience possible.
00:10And it worked. He was completely captivated by me.
00:13I truly believed he loved me.
00:15Before our wedding, I asked him for $500,000.
00:19He agreed. But only after the wedding.
00:22My heart was overflowing with happiness.
00:24I thought it proved how much he loved me.
00:27What I never expected was that on our wedding night, he would shove me against the floor-to-clealing window
00:32in front of everyone.
00:33He lifted my white Shekka wedding dress to my waist, forcing me onto my tiptoes as I struggled to keep
00:38up with him.
00:39The moment it was over, he pulled off the condom and revealed the truth behind the cruel game.
00:44Before the wedding, when you suddenly demanded $500,000, I told you Voss Group's cash flow had collapsed and that
00:49I was broke.
00:50That was a lie.
00:52She attended one dinner with me, and I bought her that necklace. $5 million.
00:57I propped myself up on trickling arms and stared at him.
01:01My throat tightened. Not a single word could come out.
01:04A violent cramp twisted through my lower abdomen.
01:07But the cruel smile on Ethan's face only grew wider.
01:10Who told you to be such a damn gold digger?
01:13Every extra penny I spend on you makes me sick.
01:15He left. I looked down at the notification on my phone.
01:18The hospital had sent a death notice.
01:20My mother was gone.
01:25I broke down completely.
01:27Sobs tore from my chest.
01:29Meanwhile, blood slowly stained the fabric beneath me.
01:33What Ethan didn't know was that the $500,000 had never been for me.
01:37It was my mother's cancer treatment fund.
01:40And because I didn't want him worrying about me, I had never told him she was sick.
01:44On my wedding night, I lost the four most important people in my life.
01:48My mother, my newly made husband, my best friend of more than 10 years, and the baby growing inside me.
01:55By the time I rushed to the hospital, my mother's body had already been covered with a white sheet and
02:01wheeled out of the emergency room.
02:03Tears dripped endlessly from my eyes.
02:05I was still wearing my wedding dress.
02:07The same dress my mother had helped me choose just two days earlier.
02:11Her greatest wish had been to see me get married before she died.
02:14That was why she had fought so hard to stay alive until today.
02:17I thought I would be able to pay for her surgery today.
02:20I thought I could save her.
02:21Never once did I imagine death would arrive on my wedding night.
02:24Suddenly, a bank notification appeared on my phone.
02:27Or that it wouldn't even leave me enough time to see my mother one last time.
02:31$500,000 had been transferred into my account.
02:34A second later, Ethan called.
02:35The money's in your account now.
02:37His voice was dripping with mockery.
02:39But honestly, that's all you're worth.
02:41I closed my eyes in despair.
02:42A tear slid down my cheek, and my mind drifted back to one month earlier.
02:47My mother had been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
02:50I sold my mortgage department.
02:52I worked three jobs at once.
02:54One at a law firm and two at restaurants.
02:57I scraped together every dollar I possibly could, but I was still $500,000 short.
03:02With no other options left, I asked Ethan for help.
03:05I didn't tell him how critical my mother's condition was because I didn't want to burden him.
03:10Even now, I can still remember how quickly his face turned cold.
03:14The company is in trouble.
03:16We don't have money right now.
03:18Sienna, if you're only with me for my money, then get the hell out.
03:22Humiliation burn inside me, but I swallowed my pride and begged him for the money.
03:27Only then did he agree to give it to me on our wedding day.
03:30Until tonight.
03:31Tonight, he finally admitted it had all been a lie.
03:33Voss Group wasn't bankrupt.
03:35It wasn't drowning in debt.
03:36The only thing waiting for him tonight was our wedding bed.
03:39And then he told me something even worse.
03:41Now my mother was dead, and I no longer wanted his money.
03:45You can keep it.
03:46I'll send it back.
03:48The moment I transferred the money back to him, I heard JD's laughter through the phone.
03:53I won.
03:57I knew she'd pull the noble act and refuse it.
04:00Then Jade guggled again.
04:03Forget about her, Ethan.
04:05As a thank you for buying me that private yacht, I've prepared something fun for tonight.
04:11The sound of kissing quickly filled the line.
04:14My hand shook so hard, I could barely hold the phone.
04:17Then the call disconnected.
04:18A sharp pain tore through my lower abdomen again.
04:21Cold sweat instantly soaked my clothes.
04:23My legs gave out beneath me.
04:25I collapsed onto the floor.
04:27That night, I had planned to tell Ethan some good news.
04:30I was pregnant.
04:31But before I could say a word, he had already lost himself in his own desires.
04:35Without hesitation.
04:36Without care.
04:37He chose the cruelest possible way to announce his betrayal.
04:40At first, I thought he was simply overwhelmed by financial pressure.
04:43I never imagined he was humiliating me on purpose.
04:46My vision slowly blurred.
04:49Blood spread across my white wedding dress, turning it crimson.
04:52I reached toward the direction where my mother lay.
04:55But before I could touch her hand one last time, everything went dark.
04:59When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a cold operating table.
05:02The doctor frowned as he looked at me.
05:04You were clearly showing signs of a threatened miscarriage.
05:07Why didn't you come to the hospital sooner?
05:09Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?
05:11Just like my marriage to Ethan, his cold, disgusted expression from that night refused to leave my mind.
05:17Whore.
05:18One simple word.
05:19That was all it took to destroy three years of love.
05:24After the procedure, a nurse helped me to an observation room.
05:28I stared blindly out the window of Manhattan General Hospital.
05:31For a moment, I thought that if I jumped right then and there, everything would finally be over.
05:36Then I overheard two young nurses chatting nearby.
05:39Have you seen the news?
05:40The CEO of Voss Group spent a fortune on a luxury yacht.
05:44That's not his wife.
05:45Just to make his wife happy.
05:46I heard his actual wife is some manipulative gold digger.
05:50Mr. Voss can't stand her.
05:52He didn't even spend his wedding night with her.
05:54The woman on that yacht is his true love.
05:57I sat alone in the hospital hallway after hearing those words.
06:00Until sunrise.
06:01The next day, I handled my mother's death certificate and cremation paperwork by myself.
06:06Like a walking corpse.
06:08When I finally held her urn in my arms, I called a car to take us home.
06:12Or at least, to what was supposed to be home.
06:14Pathetically, the penthouse I shared with Ethan was the only place I had left.
06:19I had nowhere else to go.
06:21The money in my pocket wasn't even enough for the cheapest motel on the East Coast.
06:25The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
06:28Maybe he noticed how exhausted I looked.
06:30Trying to lighten the mood, he started a conversation.
06:33Rough breakup, sweetheart?
06:35If you ask me, a woman should find a man who truly loves her.
06:39Even I'm jealous.
06:40And I'm a grown man.
06:42I bit my lip and forced a bitter smile.
06:45He had no idea.
06:46The man he was praising was the husband who abandoned me on our wedding night.
06:50And the woman he envied was my former best friend.
06:56Jade had told me more than once how jealous she was of my luck.
07:00A girl from nothing, somehow ending up with Ethan Voss.
07:03Every time she said it, I laughed it off.
07:06I always told her the same thing.
07:07I love Ethan, not Voss Group.
07:09Back then, I never noticed the jealousy hiding in her eyes.
07:13I thought she was genuinely happy for me.
07:15When she lost her job, I even convinced Ethan to hire her at Voss Group.
07:19He made her his executive assistant.
07:20The irony was almost laughable.
07:22I still remembered what she said afterward.
07:25Don't worry.
07:26I'll keep an eye on Ethan for you.
07:28If he ever hurts you, I'll make him pay.
07:30Who would have guessed she'd end up in his bed instead?
07:33Ethan used to tell me he didn't like Jade.
07:35He thought she was calculating, artificial.
07:37A woman who relied on plastic surgery and social climbing to get ahead.
07:41He said she was nothing like me.
07:43I was simple, pure.
07:44At least, that's what he claimed.
07:46Then I asked him for money.
07:47And everything changed.
07:48At the time, I couldn't understand it.
07:51How could someone's feelings change overnight?
07:53Now I finally understood.
07:54They hadn't.
07:55His betrayal had begun long before that.
07:57I took a deep breath.
07:59There was no point dwelling on it anymore.
08:00The husband who once swore he loved me.
08:02The best friend who betrayed me.
08:04I wanted neither of them.
08:05By the time I arrived at the penthouse carrying my mother's ashes, exhaustion had consumed every
08:10part of me.
08:11I pressed my fingerprint against the screener and stepped inside.
08:14The first thing I saw was Jade.
08:16She was standing in the middle of the living room with a victorious smile plastered across
08:20her face, barefoot, standing directly on top of the framed engagement picture of Ethan
08:25and me.
08:26The moment she saw me enter, she deliberately ground her heel over my face in the picture.
08:31Sienna, you're finally back.
08:37Ethan's taking me on the honeymoon instead.
08:39Come help me choose which dresses I should bring.
08:42The floor was covered in my belongings.
08:44My clothes had been tossed everywhere.
08:46Among them were several vintage silk dresses my mother had sewed for me by hand.
08:50The sight made my blood boil.
08:52Those dresses were one of the few things I had left of her.
08:55I forced my anger down and spoke through clenched teeth.
08:58Those are my clothes, Jade sneered.
09:01She picked up a pair of scissors from the table and walked toward the dresses.
09:04Ethan said everything in this penthouse belongs to me now.
09:11As for you, she looked me up and down with contempt.
09:15You're nothing more than the personal assistant he bought for $500,000.
09:20Oh, and don't forget, you signed a contract.
09:23You're basically here to serve me.
09:25I rushed forward to stop her, but during the struggle,
09:30instinctively tightened my arms around my mother's urn to protect it.
09:33The back of my head slammed into the sharp corner of a marble table.
09:37Pain exploded through my skull.
09:39Warm blood immediately trickled down my forehead.
09:41At that exact moment, footsteps echoed from the spiral staircase.
09:44A familiar voice rang out from above.
09:47Urgent.
09:47Almost panicked.
09:48Sienna!
09:49I froze.
09:50My heart skipped a beat.
09:51Then Ethan appeared at the top of the stairs.
09:53In his hand was a document.
09:55A document I had planned to give him as a wedding gift.
09:59My pregnancy report.
10:00His eyes locked onto mine.
10:02For the first time since our wedding night, his face had completely lost its arrogance.
10:08Sienna.
10:10You're pregnant?
10:13The deep red blood flowing from my forehead blurred my vision.
10:17Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
10:20What the hell are you trying to do?
10:22I couldn't detect the tension on his face.
10:24I naively thought that when Ethan found out I was pregnant, he would be overjoyed.
10:28In this way, our relationship may once again become harmonious, restoring its former sweetness and warmth.
10:34But now, all of this has become meaningless.
10:38Ethan.
10:40Let's divorce.
10:41Sienna!
10:42I won't allow that!
10:43Like a beast whose tail had been trampled, he suddenly raised his voice.
10:46A fierce desire for possession and anger gradually welled up in his eyes.
10:50Divorce, you actually brought up the topic of divorce with me?
10:52Let me ask you.
10:53How much more money are you going to squeeze out of this child this time?
10:5550,000?
10:565 million?
10:57Or 50 million?
10:58Tudently, he gripped my chin with such force that the sound of bone friction could be heard.
11:02The pain was so intense that I couldn't utter a complete sentence.
11:05Before owed money from you, it was because my mother had advanced age cancer?
11:09Ethan, what I truly love has never been your wealth.
11:14Why hadn't I heard you mention that Auntie was seriously ill?
11:17Sienna, could you really be so malicious as to play with your own mother's life just to save Ethan?
11:22I turned my head in shock, unable to believe her expression with Ethan.
11:26I always considered her my only confidant.
11:28She clearly knows everything.
11:30Upon hearing Jade's words, Ethan's already heightened sensitivity and sense of insecurity
11:34from his status as an illiphamy child exploded instantly, and his expression turned even more unhostile.
11:39Snum who the man always the entire life to always believe in and cherish me a ton to tumultly.
11:44Now merely because an another woman made you provoke at a prostrate as I've been convicted.
11:48The urn of ashes tightly held in my arms sent a chill through me.
11:51Suddenly, I felt that everything was utterly absurd.
11:53All ability to explanations was suddenly lost.
11:57I turned on I-Round, intended to go back to the bedroom and pack my luggage.
12:00Hems really get it well, so I winds make it happen.
12:03But the very moment I turned around, Jade suddenly lunged at me.
12:10We've even bought all the props.
12:12How can you make such a complete performance?
12:14I instinctively reached out to push her.
12:17But the very moment I touched the hem of her dress, Jade let out a scream and fell backward.
12:21With a curse, Ethan turned around and pushed me away.
12:24I lost my balance, and the urn of ashes slipped from my hands.
12:28The sound of the porcelain jar tracking the marble floor was both crisp and muffled.
12:33It shattered instantly into pieces.
12:35The grayish-white powder drifted into a thin mist beneath the crystal chandelier.
12:39Through the mist, I could almost see my mother's pale face on her deathbed.
12:43I went absolutely crazy and reached out to grab it.
12:45Crushed porlin fragments cut into my palm, causing blood to gush out and mixing the ashes into a muddy muss.
12:52You're going to compensate my mother!
12:54Ethan's steps paused for a moment until he heard Jade's exaggerated, agonized scream.
12:58Without looking back, he lifted her up in a horizontal position.
13:00His expensive Italian-made custom leather shoes mercilessly crushed his mother's ashes.
13:04Do you really think I'd still believe all your nonsense?
13:06That's fine.
13:06I'll only agree divorce, and if I've repaid all the money I spent on you over the years.
13:10That evening, Ethan convened his personal legal team and particularly calculated every single penny he had spent on me over
13:15the three years of their relationship.
13:17As he threw a thick stack of bills under my feet, I have just arranged the burial of my mother's
13:21ashes.
13:22I've spent a total of Mildred's 320s on you.
13:24I'll add a zero to it.
13:25Just give me back one million.
13:27The bill was filled with numerous charges, some as large as the jewelry bag he gave me.
13:31Even the smallest expenses, such as dining out on dates or hotel stays, are meticulously dead-itemized and recorded by
13:37him in detail.
13:38To him, that million dollars was merely the price of a Pata Philippe watch, but altogether it's only a hundred
13:42yuan on me.
13:43Seeing me staring blankly with my head down, Ethan's lips curved into a mocking smile.
13:48Sienna, I'm giving you one more chance. Are you sure you want to divorce me?
13:52He looked down at me from a high vantage point, as if waiting for something.
13:55But I didn't even lift my eyelids. Instead, I simply nodded gently.
13:59Confirm.
13:59Don't think that just because you're carrying my child, you can act recklessly.
14:03Don't you lack funds? Then fulfill the contract and serve Jade to settle the debt.
14:07Don't even think about leaving the Voss family until you've repaid that million.
14:10From that day on, I became Jade's exclusive personal assistant.
14:13Available 24-7, on call whenever needed.
14:16Let me be controlled and worn down by Jade.
14:18When she craved French bouillon soup in the early hours, someone would forcibly wake me from my sleep and spend
14:23the entire night simmering it by the stove.
14:25During her nap, she asked me to fan her, so I had to fan her until my arms went mimp
14:29and cold sweat streamed down my forehead.
14:31Jade has laughed so hard more than once, so much so that she could literally step on me and make
14:34the branches tremble with laughter.
14:36Some people are simply destined to remain at the bottom of society, serving as mere servants.
14:41You say so, right, best friend?
14:45At first, I still felt ashamed.
14:47By the time I got there, I was already numb.
14:50A month later, I exchanged my dignity for $600,000.
14:54That evening, several bodyguards dressed in black suits suddenly burst into the room.
14:59They didn't even give me a chance to struggle.
15:01Instead, they took me to a private room at a top-teal VIP club in Manhattan.
15:06Upon entering, Ethan found himself seated at the head of the table, with a full table set with premium whiskeys
15:10before him.
15:11Jade isn't feeling well today. Please drink it for her.
15:14I'll give you $100,000 for this drink. Should I have it or not?
15:17Ethan, isn't this okay? Sienna is still pregnant.
15:21Ethan what didn't expect, but I didn't hesitate for a moment at all.
15:24I picked up a bottle of freshly opened bourbon whiskey, raised my head, and galt it down in large gulps.
15:29The spicy liquor flowed down my throat into my stomach.
15:32I had to dig deep into my palms to suppress the urge to vomit.
15:35By the time Ethan realized what was happening and tried to grab the bottle, half of it had already been
15:39down.
15:40Crazy? Don't you know you have an alcohol allergy?
15:42Sienna Cole, would you really risk your life for money?
15:49Is this enough for $400,000?
15:52He pulled out his phone, and his veins bulched with tension.
15:55Take the money and get out.
15:57Seeing the transaction record showing my phone cost $40,000, I'd only smiled with relief.
16:02But right after I walked out of the club, swagging unsteadily, several street throngs who looked like they'd been waited
16:08for a wimes approached me with a sinister smile.
16:10Is she the woman Jade was referring to?
16:12Jade has made it clear.
16:13As a long can induce her abortion, undoubtedly ours.
16:16I instinctively ran in the opposite direction, but he was instantly thrown in the air by a subjecting fabric.
16:20The next day, the butler woke up Ethan, who was still suffering from a hangover.
16:38It's bad, Mr. Voss.
16:39The lady hasn't returned home all night.
16:42Ethan frowned deeply.
16:44His headache was so severe it felt like it might explode.
16:48Don't worry about her.
16:54Once the money runs out, you'll know it'll come back.
16:57But my hand intinctively reached for my phone.
17:03When he read the message on his phone, his pupils suddenly constricted.
17:08Meanwhile, the morning news truly aired report.
17:11Last night, a severe hit-brush joltoacid into Kurds and Ching Kuei Club neighbor-huzin,
17:16resulting in the immediate death of the immune years of Sun Yung.
17:19Ethan recognized every single character on the screen.
17:22The text could be connected seamlessly, yet he seemed to suddenly develop dyslexia,
17:27completely unable to comprehend it no matter how he tried.
17:30The Ching Kuei Club was the place where they gathered yesterday.
17:33The corner of visible in the deceased photo in the news was strikingly similar to what I was wearing yesterday.
17:38Ethan's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
17:41The housekeeper noticed something was wrong with him and immediately supported him.
17:44Sir, you...
17:45Go look into it!
17:46I don't believe Sienna's dead!
17:48She's so money-oriented!
17:49How could she possibly die before she'd made enough money?
17:52The steward paused for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement and withdrew.
17:57The headache caused by the hangover was so intense that Ethan's head felt like it was about to explode.
18:03Fragments of his memories from yesterday kept replaying in his mind.
18:08The determination on my face as I raised the whiskey was so pronounced
18:13that I didn't even frown when I tilted my head any back to drink.
18:17But clearly, I had never drank a single drop of alcohol before.
18:25Ethan's heart was beating rapidly.
18:27He suddenly rushed into the bathroom,
18:30grabbed the toilet seat,
18:32and vomited violently.
18:33Then he collapsed onto the marble floor in a wretched state,
18:36his face as pale as death.
18:39Indeed, he was fully aware of my alcohol allergy,
18:41and never consumed alcohol himself.
18:43Yet they still forced me to drink those strong foreign liquors
18:46that even he found irritatingly harsh on the throat.
18:49Ethan swore that he hadn't intended to do this in the first place.
18:51He just wanted to see me give in and bow my head to apologize to him.
18:55Since we got married, I've hardly ever smiled at him.
18:57Not to mention saying anything gentle or kind.
18:59I'm becoming sponge that can be molded at will.
19:01Even when subjected to extreme bullying,
19:03there are no notifiable emotional fluctuations on their face.
19:06But the calmer I remained,
19:07the angrier Ethan became.
19:08The deep-steated sense of insecurity within him
19:10only intensified its grip on him.
19:12It was clearly me who had done something wrong.
19:14I revealed my true nature before marriage,
19:16and finally, unable to continue pretending,
19:18demanded money from him.
19:19With my head bound,
19:20why should I be the one in charge?
19:21Ethan also couldn't quite put his finger on exactly what he was thinking.
19:26He could have left me before we got married,
19:28just as he used to deal with those corporate spies with ruthless severity.
19:35But he didn't.
19:35He could just treat me as a mere decoration.
19:39After all, many people out there are eyeing Mrs. Voss's position closely.
19:42I happened to be his shield.
19:45At worst, he might not return to the apartment
19:47as the shangos,
19:48you sem'd it,
19:49you bersign.
19:50But he'd either't.
19:51He insisted on getting close to me and tormenting me.
19:54In this way, one can release the inner fire of fear at being abandoned.
19:58That day, when I asked for a divorce,
20:00he admitted that he had lost control.
20:02On what grounds for divorce from him?
20:04What qualifications do I have to do so?
20:06He even went so far as to absurdly believe
20:08that I was trying to use the child in my womb
20:10as leverage to demand more assets from him.
20:15Child.
20:19Suddenly, Ethan came up with an idea.
20:21He ran back to the bedside on all fours,
20:23picked up the phone that was lying on the floor.
20:25I found my chat box.
20:28When he just woke up,
20:30he's now still and clear.
20:31Only notice that was food one bad one in transfer record.
20:35Only now,
20:36realizing it too late,
20:38our accident.
20:40Abortion procedure form.
20:45And the timing was exactly on the night of our wedding.
20:49Ethan gripped his phone tightly,
20:51using such force that he nearly crushed the screen.
20:56She was so heartless as to interminate their pregnancy.
21:01But why did she do this?
21:03Why not tell me?
21:06Ethan, are you awake?
21:08Have some breakfast?
21:09Jade twisted her waist and pushed open the door,
21:12still wearing my silk pajamas.
21:13When he saw Ethan in the ground,
21:15he was startled.
21:16She quickly dropped the tray in her hand,
21:18ran up to Ethan,
21:19and tried to help him stand up.
21:20Don't touch me!
21:22Anticipated that efforts they developed that special bond,
21:24the man who had always been indulgent toward her
21:26would behave differently.
21:28And if he had completely changed who he was,
21:30he violently released her hand.
21:32Jade even looked at the man-her as disbelief.
21:34I was with just,
21:35guys, I'm too safe.
21:36But Tour and IG noticed on Ethan's phone screen.
21:41How could Sienna actually hit her own child?
21:44I didn't expect her to have such strong principles.
21:54As soon as she finished speaking,
21:56a fierce slap struck her without any warning,
21:59knocking her to the ground.
22:01Shut up!
22:03Water droplets dripped from Ethan's hair tips,
22:05and his eyes were a terrifyingly red.
22:07Try saying even a single bad word about my wife.
22:13At that very moment,
22:14a sudden phone ringtone shattered the absolutely silent atmosphere.
22:18It belongs to Jade.
22:20Once she knew the caller's details,
22:23Jade almost instinctively wanted to hang up.
22:28But her panic,
22:29which she couldn't hide,
22:31caused Ethan's pupils to contract.
22:33In the next instant,
22:34he swiftly snatched the phone from Jade's hands.
22:39Jade, you've completely ruined everything we planned.
22:42So there's Sienna was quite alert.
22:43She frowning,
22:43and she saw him,
22:44and she said to me,
22:45she just pat-bat,
22:45and you're into a trick accident.
22:48Ethan suddenly fell completely silent.
22:51Mayo threw you danger-vade in way-shin,
22:54and now read you in throughven the sheet,
22:56you're not going to see about the silent.
22:58A death-like silence.
23:01Jonah slowly widened her eyes.
23:03She had wenchent planned to go to Ethan
23:05and retrieve her phone from him.
23:06But Ethan is truly terrifying now.
23:09The brutality characteristic of a descendant of the Mafia family
23:12is unleashed without any restraint.
23:14Had had been widely rumored that Ethan,
23:16so Avosiad the Infamy Gers,
23:18he rose from the very margins through relentless strud,
23:21to become the group's heir.
23:24Verity of the methods employed.
23:27Especially when he's angry.
23:29It's truly terrifying.
23:31At first,
23:32Jade didn't believe it.
23:33She simply thought the rumors from outside were far exaggerated.
23:36At that moment,
23:37she was so jealous she was on the verge of going mad,
23:40wondering how I could possibly be so lucky as to win Ethan's favor.
23:44It wasn't until Ethan began indulging her even more,
23:46that she began to feel somewhat complacent.
23:49She believed that even the most cold-blooded man would bow down before her.
23:53To this day,
23:54Jade has never felt such a surge of unease over Ethan
23:56as she did for the first time.
23:58She was oving Zord on the ground,
24:00completely collapsed.
24:01Now she even had the leech to stand up and flee.
24:03One could only support themselves with their hands on the floor
24:06and slowly move backward.
24:11Ethan,
24:13please listen to my explanation.
24:15I don't know them at all.
24:17I didn't do anything.
24:19Jade's voice trembled with panic.
24:21She had originally hoped that Ethan would be easily deceived by her casual words,
24:26just as he had been before.
24:28By this point, however,
24:29Ethan's expression,
24:31Ethan's head turned,
24:32utterly cold.
24:33He walked step by step towards himself,
24:36each step resting on J.D.'s heart that beat wildly.
24:44I only give you one chance.
24:47Tell me what you did.
24:49Ethan's voice was very soft.
24:51Upon closer listening,
24:52it even carried a tone of gentle guidance.
24:55The more this happened,
24:56the more afraid Jelly became,
24:58until there was no way for her to retreat.
25:01I didn't.
25:01And Ethan grabbed her chin firmly.
