00:04I'm so happy for her. Just last month, she had a procedure in the VIP obstetrics wing.
00:09I thought no one would marry her now.
00:11She looks so innocent, but who knew she had an abortion?
00:14Look how big her chest is. You can tell she just had one.
00:18Kids these days are really wild.
00:20No, I didn't. I went in to remove an ovarian cyst.
00:23Right. You need some guy's signature for that?
00:26I get it. Just kidding. Why so upset?
00:27Lydia, I listened to my mom back then, and I never touched you. Whose is it?
00:31The Caldwells have valued it. We wait till marriage. We won't let a loose woman into this family.
00:35Gavin, believe me. I really didn't. I've never been with another man.
00:39Right. I can vouch for her. Lydia definitely was not with some fat old man, and I never saw that.
00:45Lydia, there's no point in this wedding anymore.
00:48Everyone's calling me a slut. My parents won't go outside because of me.
00:52My fiancé doesn't believe me either. I lost my job, too. My whole life is ruined.
00:58Please, don't get the wrong idea.
01:00Hazel, explain exactly what's going on.
01:03Since you love joking so much, then tell everyone more.
01:06Better yet, tell them what day and where I had this abortion.
01:09In this life, I'll make Hazel pay for what she did.
01:12My smart-mouthed best friend, Hazel, is at my wedding, giving a toast as my bridesmaid.
01:17I'm so happy for her. Just last month, she had a procedure in the VIP obstetrics wing. I thought no
01:22one would marry her now.
01:23In my last life, I explained it was ovarian cyst removal.
01:26Right. You need some guy's signature for that?
01:28I get it.
01:29Those words set off my conservative in-laws.
01:31My husband slapped me and called it off. In the end, I killed myself.
01:34When I open my eyes, I am back to the moment Hazel smiles on stage.
01:37Hazel covers her mouth and put on an innocent act.
01:40Please, don't get the wrong idea.
01:42I stop my furious husband. Smiling, I hold the mic up to her mouth.
01:46Don't stop. Keep going.
01:48I want to see how her jokes would save her when the truth comes out.
01:52Hazel probably never expected the meek, gentle meek to face her down at my wedding.
01:57She instantly put on a fragile, startled look.
01:59Holy gee, what's this? What, Yale? You scared me.
02:02I told you, I see what's on my mind. I have no filter. I'm just joking. It's your day. I
02:06take it seriously.
02:07If it's a joke, then go all the way.
02:09Tell everyone what you saw and heard in obstetrics, word for word.
02:13Let everybody have a good laugh.
02:15Liddy, don't push me. Everyone's watching.
02:18I really didn't mean to bring up that fat old man.
02:20I swear I didn't see that old man pay your surgery bill and signing as your family.
02:26Oh, listen to my big mouth.
02:29Gav, Audrey, don't believe me.
02:31That old man had to be Liddy's distant relative.
02:34Don't misunderstand.
02:34The whole room went dead silent.
02:37Three seconds later, the ballroom completely erupted.
02:39The chatter nearly blew the roof off.
02:41Liddy, what the hell is going on?
02:44Liddy, the Caldwell family is respectable.
02:48We won't let a shameless woman into this family.
02:50If you don't explain yourself today, then this wedding is off.
02:55Gavin, Hazel just moved her lips and made a few so-called jokes.
02:57You believe her?
02:58Watching Hazel at the side with that smug, gloating look.
03:01I laugh coldly to myself.
03:02The easier Gavin agrees now, the harder it'll hit her later.
03:05Gavin freezes for a second.
03:07Hesitation crossing his eyes.
03:08Oh, please, Liddy, you're twisting things.
03:10If you didn't do anything, why force Gav to take a stand?
03:12Can you swear you didn't go to obstetrics for surgery last month?
03:15If you swear you weren't there, then I will drop to my knees.
03:19The whole room's gazes were like knives, all stabbing into me at once.
03:22The hesitation in Gavin's eyes vanishes instantly, and its place is pure fury and humiliation.
03:28Liddy, answer Hazel's question.
03:31I did.
03:33The room erupts again.
03:35My parents are frantic below the stage.
03:38Liddy went there for ovarian cyst removal surgery.
03:41It's not what you think at all.
03:43Hearing that, Hazel laughed even harder.
03:45She holds her stomach, shaking with laughter.
03:47She's full of tears.
03:49So C-Y-S-T removal needs some random guy's signature?
03:53You shameless woman!
03:55And you dare call it an ovarian cyst?
03:57You think the Caldwell's taking trash?
04:00Gavin completely loses it.
04:01He rips off his corsage from his chest and throws it in my face.
04:06Lydia, you always act so innocent.
04:09But you were secretly sleeping with some old man.
04:13I'm so disappointed in you.
04:16I look coldly at the corsage on the floor.
04:17My last bit of hope is gone.
04:19Fine.
04:20Since the Caldwell's care so much about a few jokes, then this wedding is off.
04:24Fine.
04:24Call it off.
04:25Now pay back the 500,000 wedding gift in full.
04:28And today's banquet costs two.
04:29I didn't even blink.
04:30I take out my phone, open my banking app, and in front of everyone, I send the $500,000
04:34back to Gavin.
04:35From now on, we go our separate ways.
04:37I turn to step off the stage, but Hazel grabs my arm.
04:40She starts shouting.
04:41Leave me.
04:42How can you just leave like this?
04:43If you walk away, doesn't that prove you guilty?
04:46Evelyn, last month you interned at Riverton General Hospital.
04:50Tell everyone, didn't you also see her that day?
04:53Getting someone to testify, huh?
04:55Then let's see how this rock you brought over yourself ends up crushing your own foot.
04:59Having been called on, Evelyn jumps in shock.
05:01She's Gavin's cousin, an intern nurse at Riverton General Hospital.
05:04Hazel grabs her from the crowd and shoves her to the mic.
05:07Heavy, you're always the honest one.
05:08Tell the truth.
05:09In front of Gavin, that day, did you see Julia wearing her khaki trench coat with a hat and
05:13mask on, walking into the VIP.
05:15Operating room with a fat man?
05:16Evelyn stammers, eyes darting around.
05:17Hundreds of people are staring straight at her.
05:19She gulps, looking away.
05:21I, I was working at the front desk.
05:23I did see someone with a bill of like liddies.
05:26There was a very fat man beside her.
05:27When she says that, it drives the final nail into my coffin.
05:31The whole room erupts.
05:32What do you have to say now?
05:34Even Evelyn saw it!
05:37Lydia, I must have been blind to ever fall for you.
05:41Evelyn, what was it you told me back then?
05:44Wasn't that woman wearing the rare perfume Gav bought from overseas last month?
05:48Evelyn jumps when Hazel pinches her.
05:50She nods nervously.
05:51Yeah, that's the scent.
05:54That perfume is very distinctive.
05:55I couldn't be mistaken.
05:58Hear that?
06:00Even the perfume smells exactly the same.
06:02Liddy, you can't call that a coincidence, can you?
06:05I quietly watch as Hazel is carried away.
06:08The more details she makes up, the harder it will hit her later.
06:11I don't refute.
06:12I just smile.
06:13The perfume really is pretty solid evidence.
06:16But Hazel, is that all you've got?
06:21I didn't want to go this far, but you're unbelievably shameless.
06:26Don't blame me for meddling, everyone.
06:28I just can't help myself.
06:29When I was helping Liddy pack the gifts, I accidentally felt something hard inside.
06:33She yanks the zipper open, then flips the bag over and shakes it.
06:36Lipstick, compact, and tissues fall out.
06:39And along with them, an unopened can of pills falls out, plus a crumbled ultrasound report.
06:43There is also a five-star hotel keycard.
06:47Everybody, look!
06:49Intrauterine pregnancy, seven weeks!
06:51Hazel's voice is shrill, almost cracking.
06:54Misopristone tablets, that's abortion medication.
06:57Liddy.
06:58So that abscess grew arms and legs.
07:01Oops, I let that slip again.
07:03Nobody believed that.
07:04Maybe Liddy found this pregnancy report on the street.
07:08And those pills were for straight dogs.
07:10Just kidding.
07:11Don't take it seriously.
07:12The whole room loses it.
07:14The furious shouting almost blows the roof off.
07:16Audrey rolls her eyes and falls down in a rage.
07:19People barely caught her in time.
07:21Dump her, Gavin!
07:22She'll never join the Caldwell family.
07:27Lydia, you dare say you weren't there?
07:30You even carry abortion pills on you.
07:33You've gone way too far.
07:37Go to hell.
07:39My gaze turns cold.
07:40My jerk sideways.
07:41A loud crash follows.
07:42A bottle smashes hard on the steps.
07:44Glass shards are everywhere.
07:45Hazel stands by the side, watching the chaos spiral.
07:48Her mouth curling in delight.
07:51Gav, don't do anything rash.
07:53She's not worth killing for.
07:54Liddy.
07:55If you did wrong, own it.
07:58If you get down today in front of everyone and kneel to Gav and Audrey,
08:04maybe they'll soften up and forgive you.
08:06I slowly walk forward.
08:08I ignore Gavin's murderous glare and the insults filling the room.
08:12I walk up to Hazel.
08:13I look down at the pills and room key.
08:15I look her straight in the eyes.
08:17My voice, ice cold.
08:20Hazel, you said you took these things out of my bridal bag.
08:23Hazel instantly lifts her chin, brazen as ever.
08:26Of course I did.
08:28Everyone saw it.
08:30What?
08:30You think I planted them?
08:32I don't have time for that.
08:34You sure?
08:35I swear on my character.
08:37They absolutely fell out of your bag.
08:40Good.
08:40Very good.
08:42Since you're sure, I raise my hand and snatch the mic from the terrified MC design.
08:47Then let me show everyone something more interesting.
08:50Hazel's smile stiffens.
08:51What do you mean?
08:53Cut the act.
08:55I ignore her.
08:56I pull out my phone right in front of everyone.
08:59You dial a number.
09:00Hazel forces herself to stay calm and starts shouting.
09:02What stunt are you pulling now?
09:04You think bringing in some extra will erase the proof of your pregnancy and abortion?
09:09I laugh coldly.
09:10I don't need to clear anything.
09:12Since you've already set the stage, I gotta play along, don't I?
09:15The moment I say that, the ballroom's heavy doors fly open from outside.
09:19People in the ballroom gasp at once.
09:21Before Hazel could wipe away the wild grin on her face, she freezes the second she sees
09:27the person at the door.
09:28The crash is so loud that even the chandelier shakes.
09:31Everyone's gaze snap to the entrance.
09:34At the front is a middle-aged woman with a bright red designer coat.
09:38She wears black stiletto heels and oversized sunglasses.
09:41Everything about her gives off in place.
09:43He crushing presents.
09:44Behind her, four burly, black-suited bodyguards drag a man along like a dead dog.
09:50The man's face is full of blood.
09:51His suit ripped to shreds.
09:52He's so badly bruised, he's barely recognizable.
09:55With a thud, the men toss him like a bag of trash and hurl the fat man onto the red
09:59carpet.
10:00The man writhes on the floor in pain, letting out weak moans.
10:03At last, someone in the crowd recognizes that battered, mangled face and let out a shrill
10:08scream.
10:09It's Mr. Reed from Cedarwind Capital!
10:13Gavin, who's holding a wine bottle and charging at me like a rabid dog, stops the moment he
10:18sees the man on the floor.
10:20The bottle slips from his hand and shatters.
10:22His legs give out, and he drops to his knees on the glass-stream carpet.
10:25Even his teeth is chattering.
10:28Mrs. Vaughn.
10:29In the local business scene, Mr. Reed of Cedarwind Capital is seen as riding his wife's coquetails
10:34to success.
10:35The power behind it all, squeezing Gavin's company, is Mrs. Vaughn.
10:39Mrs. Vaughn looks at Mr. Reed on the ground with pure disgust, then casually removes her
10:42sunglasses and tosses them to a bodyguard.
10:45Her voice isn't loud, and she speaks slowly, but there is a chilling, murderous edge to it.
10:49Which shameless woman is Hazel Sterling?
10:53Hazel is so scared, her whole body jolts violently.
10:56The grin on her face freezes into a pale stare.
10:59Her legs are weak, and she almost collapses.
11:01She backs into the bridesmaids, trying to hide herself.
11:03She's trembling and couldn't say anything.
11:05She clamps both hands over her face.
11:07Mrs. Vaughn laughs coldly.
11:09Her heels click on the marble steps as she walks up to Hazel.
11:12Mrs. Vaughn suddenly swings her arm, and with a sharp, ringing slap, strikes Hazel across
11:17the face.
11:18The blow is so hard it sent Hazel spinning halfway around before she crashes on the floor.
11:22The corner of her mouth splits open, and one side of her face swells up.
11:26Mrs. Vaughn looks down at her.
11:28Hazel Sterling.
11:30Hazel, you think hiding in a crowd means I can't smell that nasty stench on you?
11:34Hazel covers her face, still making one last struggle.
11:37She suddenly looks up, wildly pointing at me, and screams at the top of her lungs.
11:41Mrs. Vaughn, you're mistaken.
11:43It's her.
11:44It was Lydia.
11:44She seduced Mr. Reed.
11:46The abortion pills and the ultrasound report were hers.
11:48She's pregnant with Mr. Reed's baby.
11:50Facing Hazel's accusations, a flash crosses her eyes, full with disgust and mockery.
11:55Mixtaken?
11:56Mrs. Vaughn snorts coldly, then suddenly pulls a sealed envelope from her Hermes Birkenback.
12:01She slams the envelope hard onto Hazel's pale face.
12:04Are you fucking blind?
12:05I hired a top private investigator to follow this fat bastard for a month.
12:09Did you think, in someone else's clothes, plus a mask and hat, you'd fool anyone?
12:13The envelope flap comes loose, and a thick stack of high-def photos scatter all over the floor.
12:19The guests up front crane their necks, gasping one after another.
12:23The first photo really does show a woman in a khaki trench coat, wearing a hat and mask,
12:27walking with Mr. Reed into Riverton First Hospital's OB-GYN.
12:30But in the second and third photo, that woman was in the hospital's empty VIP restroom,
12:35taking off her mask and her hat in an ultra-clear burst shot.
12:38Even blowing it up ten times?
12:40The face is still clear as day.
12:42It was Hazel, who has collapsed on the floor.
12:44The whole room erupts in a furious roar, so loud it nearly blows the roof off.
12:49Everyone realizes Hazel got pregnant and had an abortion herself,
12:52but wore my clothes as a disguise and publicly framed me at the wedding.
12:56Mrs. Vaughn steps forward.
12:58The sharp heel of her stiletto lands hard on Hazel's hand.
13:00Hazel lets out a terrifying shriek.
13:03Tears and snot instantly covers her face.
13:05Mrs. Vaughn bends down and grabs Hazel by the hair, forcing her head up.
13:08You wore your best friend's coat, used the same perfume, and went to the hospital to fool everyone!
13:13You went there to abort the child you made with my husband!
13:15You even used his black card to pay five hundred grand in Hushman.
13:18Hazel Sterling, you got some nerve.
13:20Gavin, kneeling the floor, stares at those photos on the ground.
13:23In the photos, Hazel and Mr. Reed wrapped around each other intimately.
13:26His whole body shakes violently!
13:28Gavin roars, his eyes turning blood red!
13:30Hazel rolls on the floor in pain.
13:32She knows she's finished, but she still makes one last excuse.
13:35I didn't! Mr. Reed forced me!
13:37I'm innocent! I never wanted the abortion!
13:40Mr. Reed made me do it!
13:41But I watch this farce, without emotion, and slowly step forward.
13:45I crouch down.
13:46Amid the wrecked red carpet, I pick up the proof Hazel kicked away.
13:50The can of mifepristone.
13:51Hazel, in front of everyone, you swear up and down that this is mine.
13:55Hazel stares at me in panic, shaking her head like a rattle gone wild.
13:59I ignore her completely.
14:01I reach out and rip it hard.
14:03I tear open the bottom of the box,
14:04with the hospital prescription label deliberately folded and taped down tightly.
14:08I hold the box up to the mic, my voice sharp as a blade.
14:11Since you insist on hard proof, I'll help drive that hammer straight into your bones.
14:15Listen up, everyone.
14:16Prescribed by Riverton First Hospital.
14:18Patient name, Hazel Sterling.
14:20Age, 24.
14:21Prescription issued on the 15th of last month, at 1035 AM.
14:24The second I finish, I hurl the box with Hazel's name straight into her face.
14:28The sharp edge of the box cut her forehead, leaving a streak of blood.
14:32I look down at her.
14:34It says here, Hazel Sterling.
14:35Even the time matches what you just said.
14:38Is that a joke, too?
14:39Hazel collapses onto the floor like a heap of sludge.
14:42She can't say a word.
14:43All that's left are desperate sobs from her throat.
14:46Audrey, who screams that she'll rip my face apart and beat me to death,
14:50now looks like an old hen, with its neck being strangled.
14:52Her toothless mouth hangs open as she collapses, unable to make a sound.
14:55Her whole face is white as a sheet.
14:57Gavin jumps up from the floor and charges at Hazel.
15:01His face is turning into an ugly shade of purple.
15:04Hazel, you ruined my wedding!
15:06I speak coldly, cutting Gavin off mid-motion.
15:09Gavin Caldwell, don't rush to play the innocent victim.
15:12This show is only halfway over.
15:14I bend down, picking up the shiny five-star room key
15:16with the Grand Harbor Hotel logo from ripsick tissues scattered all over the floor.
15:20I turn to look at Mrs. Vaughn, my tone utterly calm.
15:24Mrs. Vaughn, you just mentioned Hazel used my perfume?
15:27So, your investigator mistook her from the back and got the wrong person, right?
15:31Mrs. Vaughn frowns, her gaze sharp.
15:33Yes, that perfume has a distinct scent.
15:35There isn't a boutique here.
15:37I nod.
15:38Then I turn and give Gavin an icy stare.
15:41Gavin Caldwell!
15:42You said this was limited edition, the only bottle!
15:45Then why does Hazel smell exactly like me?
15:48Gavin's body suddenly turns stiff, like he's electrocuted.
15:50His forehead instantly breaks out cold beads of sweat.
15:53Panic floods his eyes.
15:54He can't even look me in the eye.
15:56He gives an excuse.
15:57How would I know?
15:59She must have took it from your vanity when she came over and used it.
16:02I laugh coldly.
16:03I raise the gold room key in my hand.
16:05Oh yeah?
16:06Hazel push on room 8012 VIP key from the Grand Harbor Hotel out of my bridle back.
16:11But I, Lydia Barrett, have never once set foot in that hotel.
16:15I look at Gavin's face, already twisting from sheer guilt.
16:18As luck would have it.
16:19Just to be safe, I asked a friend who works at the hotel yesterday to check this key's booking records.
16:24I pull a folded sheet of paper from my pocket and slap it into Gavin's face.
16:28Every Friday night for the past six months, this key card lost strikingly regular swipes.
16:33And the registered guest on this card is Gavin Caldwell.
16:35The room falls into a deathly, eerie silence.
16:38You can even hear a pin drop.
16:40Then, the crowd erupts with gasps ten times louder and sharp intakes of breath.
16:45The second Mrs. Vaughn hears those words, her face darkens.
16:49She turns her head around, and with her high heel, she drives a kick into Mr. Reed's stomach.
16:52She starts screaming.
16:53You worthless leech!
16:55You spent my 500 grand to pay for this tramp's abortion!
16:57And for all we know, the baby wasn't even yours.
17:00Mr. Reed curls up like a shrimp from the kick.
17:03When he hears that, his swollen eyes, barely able to open, turns red.
17:06He springs up off the floor, like a crazed wild boar, and lunges straight at Gavin.
17:11You slept with her?
17:12You fucking slept with my woman!
17:13Gavin is already furious.
17:15When Mr. Reed lunges at him, the last thread of his control snaps.
17:18Hazel is my woman.
17:20You old bastard used investment money to force her.
17:22A second ago, both men looked polished and proper.
17:25Now they've torn off their fake masks.
17:26In front of hundreds of wedding guests, they hit each other on the red carpet.
17:30Punches and kicks fly with no rhythm at all.
17:32Every hit means to hurt.
17:34The second Audrey sees her son getting hit, she cries out in panic and charges in like
17:38a madwoman!
17:38Don't hit my son, you old bastard!
17:40I'll kill you!
17:41Audrey rushes over, and a furious Mr. Reed punches her in the face.
17:45Audrey screams and staggers back.
17:47Her mouth opens, and she spits out two bloody molars.
17:49She wails on the floor.
17:51The whole Caldwell family becomes a laughingstock, their dignity gone.
17:54While the room is in chaos, and everyone's attention is on the men fighting, Hazel is on
17:59all fours, like a sewer rat, crawling for the ballroom's back door.
18:03She wants to run in the chaos, but Mrs. Vaughn isn't going to let that happen.
18:06Mrs. Vaughn barks coldly.
18:07Her eyes like knives drag that woman back here.
18:10Two bodyguards immediately come forward and grab Hazel by the hair.
18:13Like dragging a dead dog, they haul her back and slam her at new stage.
18:16Mrs. Vaughn laughs coldly.
18:18Her sharp heel comes right onto Hazel's face, pinning her face into the carpet.
18:22That $500,000 you swindled off my husband's black card?
18:26My legal team filed it with the police this morning.
18:28Either you pay back every cent, with interest, today, or I'll make sure you rot in a cell
18:32till you die.
18:32Hazel completely falls apart.
18:34She screams like crazy, clutching onto Mrs. Vaughn's legs.
18:37Ma'am, I was wrong.
18:38I spent it all with bags of jewelry.
18:40You'll return it all.
18:40Please, just let me go.
18:42With disgust, Mrs. Vaughn kicks Hazel away.
18:45Then, she turns to look at the two half-dead bloody men.
18:49Pull them apart.
18:49The bodyguard separates them.
18:51Mrs. Vaughn looks down at Gavin, lying there like mud.
18:54Her voice icy.
18:55Gavin Caldwell, you took $10 from Cedar Wind Capital, and this is what you do with it?
19:00Nice.
19:00Starting tomorrow, Cedar Wind Capital is pulling out.
19:03Get your company ready for liquidation.
19:04I'll have the best financial team go through all your accounts.
19:06Go through all your accounts.
19:07Spend the rest of your life carrying tens of millions in debt and begging.
19:10Gavin is thunderstruck.
19:12His eyes rolls back and he coughs up blood.
19:14He collapses flat on the floor, unable to get up.
19:17Bankrupt.
19:18Drowning in debt.
19:19Disgraced.
19:20That's the place of cheating on me.
19:21Audrey, with blood in her mouth, hears the words pulling out and scrambles to my feet.
19:26She clings tightly to my leg, crying with no dignity.
19:29Leedy.
19:30Leedy.
19:31You're our future daughter-in-law.
19:32Hazel's a disaster.
19:34You're the only innocent one.
19:35You can't call off the engagement.
19:37Our company can't survive without your family.
19:39Audrey knows that only my family's money can help Gavin cover this debt.
19:44I lower my head, looking coldly at a face that just moments ago was screaming.
19:48That she'd beat me to death.
19:50She's now like a dog, begging at my feet.
19:52The Caldwell's low nature makes me sick to my stomach.
19:55In utter disgust, I step back, yanking my leg away.
19:59Ma'am, didn't you just swear the Caldwell family was respectable and never took in trash?
20:03I point at Hazel and Gavin, lying on the floor like dead dogs.
20:06I think Hazel and Gavin are a match made in heaven.
20:09You should keep this trash for yourselves.
20:12I think it's filthy.
20:13After that, I turn away without a glance, ready to leave this disgusting place.
20:17Behind me, Hazel suddenly breaks free from the bodyguards.
20:19She screams and lunges at me.
20:21Did you bear it? I'm gonna kill you!
20:22Her hands come straight for my throat.
20:24It was you. You planned all of this.
20:26You ruined me at the Weng on purpose.
20:28I'll kill you.
20:28I stay still.
20:30The second she charges,
20:31I swing my arm back with all my strength and land a slap across her face.
20:36This slap is for the despair I felt when Hazel drove me to death in my past life.
20:40Hazel screams, crashes to the floor, and lands in shattered glass.
20:44She stays down.
20:45I shake my stinging hand.
20:46I look down at her from above.
20:48What ruined you was your own stupid, vicious heart.
20:52If you hadn't tried this at my wedding,
20:54if you hadn't tried to use my reputation to cover your filth,
20:56that fake mask of yours might have lasted a few more days.
20:59I pull a wet wipe from my purse and calmly wipe my hand.
21:02Then, I toss it onto her face.
21:04Hazel Sterling, one more reminder.
21:06That day, you stole my limited edition trench coat, handbag, and jewelry.
21:10My parents had them specially sent in from Ashford.
21:12Their total value is over $300,000.
21:14You used them as disguise for your abortion,
21:16then took them home as if they were yours.
21:17I've already reported it to the police.
21:19Right then, a shrill siren suddenly rings from outside the ballroom.
21:23Red and blue lights flash outside the hotel windows.
21:26The sirens got closer until they drown out every other sound in the room.
21:30Several uniformed police officers strides briskly into the ballroom.
21:33We received a report of major theft and business fraud.
21:37Who's Hazel Sterling?
21:38Hazel's eyes go wide.
21:40They're practically popping out.
21:42Hazel scrambles backward.
21:43She screams at the police in terror.
21:45No, I didn't steal.
21:46I just borrowed it.
21:47Lady, now then, we've been friends for ten years.
21:50I was really just kidding.
21:51I only borrowed it.
21:52I look straight at the police.
21:53My tone is firm.
21:54Officer, while I was out, she broke into my room and stole $300,000 in valuables.
21:59I gave all my hidden security footage to the police.
22:03The police ignores Hazel shrieking and comes over.
22:06Without mercy, they slap cold handcuffs on her.
22:09Take her away.
22:10Hazel's disheveled, crying and weeping like a complete madwoman as they drag her away.
22:14Let go of me!
22:15Yeah, save me!
22:16I can't go to you!
22:16Look, and Gavin, the man she's calling for, is sprawling on the floor with mud.
22:20He's facing bankruptcy.
22:22He can't even save himself.
22:23No way he can save her.
22:24My parents come up from below the siege, their eyes red.
22:27They pull me in and shield me.
22:28My dad shouts.
22:29Lady, we're going home.
22:31We're not staying here one second longer.
22:33I said, okay, let's go home.
22:35I walk to the ballroom entrance and stop.
22:37I raise my hand and I take the heavy tiara off my head.
22:41I toss it into the trash can.
22:42Then I unzip my bulky wedding dress.
22:45I let it fall to the floor.
22:47This absurd farce is finally over.
22:48As for Hazel and Gavin, they'll spend their lives in debt, long prison terms, and tormenting each other, living out
22:54a hellish life.
22:55And I'll walk alone toward my new life.
22:57Outside, the sun is blinding.
22:59The sky is clear.
23:00I look up and the glare swings my eyes.
23:02In my last life, at this very moment, Gavin slapped me to the ground.
23:06Audrey called me trash.
23:08Everyone mocked and despised me.
23:10I cried and explained that no one listened.
23:11I begged for forgiveness, but no one cared.
23:13In the end, I locked myself inside a rental apartment and ate sleeping pills.
23:16But in this light, I stand in the sunlight.
23:18Free, innocent, and unharmed.
23:21At last, my tears fall.
23:22Not from hurt, but relief.
23:24My parents and I sit on a street bench for a long time.
23:26I didn't check my phone till dusk.
23:28By then, I have hundreds of texts.
23:30I scroll through them, and I see one from Mrs. Vaughn.
23:33Lydia Barrett, you're a smart woman.
23:35Come by my office sometime.
23:36I stare at the text for a few seconds.
23:38I set a time with Mrs. Vaughn.
23:40The wedding farce blows up online for days.
23:42Someone uploaded a video from the scene.
23:43The headlines grow sensational.
23:45Bride uncovers fake friend.
23:46Tough bride, don't screw on the spot.
23:48The comments section is chaos.
23:49Some says I was too ruthless.
23:50Others say I crushed it.
23:52I don't read them.
23:53Two months later, Gavin faces charges for a string of crimes.
23:56And got four years.
23:57Mrs. Vaughn informs me about it.
23:58That day, I visit her company for business.
24:00She comes downstairs to meet me.
24:01She clicks along in heels and walks ahead.
24:03Her voice is soft, with a note of admiration.
24:06Lydia, you're more decisive than I expected.
24:08Before Gavin Caldwell went in, his mother came to see me.
24:10She kneeled, begging me to spare her son.
24:12What did you say?
24:14Mrs. Vaughn pushed open the office door, sits down, and looks at me.
24:17I had someone show her out.
24:18Her son cost me ten million dollars.
24:21He's lucky I didn't make him pay it back.
24:22You?
24:22Do you hate him?
24:23I think about it.
24:24No.
24:24If I hated him, it'd mean I still cared about them.
24:27But I don't anymore.
24:28We sign a partnership agreement.
24:29She hands me one of her new projects to run.
24:31I expect life to stay peaceful, but I'm wrong.
24:34Then, my friend insists I go on a blind date.
24:36She says the guy's a great catch.
24:38He studied overseas, works in investments, has a car, a house, a company, and is handsome too.
24:42I don't want to go, especially after the wedding incident.
24:44I have a fear of marriage now.
24:46But she says...
24:46Just think of it as a meal.
24:48You lose nothing.
24:49A smart-looking man stands up, smiles, and extends his hand.
24:52Hello, Lydia.
24:53I'm Rowan Beckett.
24:54He is well-mannered, smiling gently, and honestly, good-looking.
24:57He wears designer, and he speaks perfectly.
24:59He doesn't seem like a try-hard, but he's not cold either.
25:02By the end of dinner, the vibe's pretty pleasant.
25:04On my way home, my friend asks me how it went.
25:06I tell her it's okay.
25:07My friend says he really likes me, and wants to keep seeing me.
25:10I don't give a straight answer.
25:12I just feel like he's too perfect.
25:14So perfect it's not real.
25:15The next day, Rowan asks me out for Japanese food.
25:17He books the most expensive place.
25:18He wears a custom suit, with his hair slicked back.
25:21When the sake arrives, he picks up his glass and talks about wine.
25:24I've got a collection, a wine cellar at home.
25:26Even a few bottles of Romane Conti.
25:28So he's a wine expert.
25:30I happen to know a thing or two.
25:31So I ask him, which region Romane Conti comes from?
25:34He freezes.
25:35Some village in France, I guess.
25:36It's good stuff.
25:37Costs hundreds of thousands.
25:38He says he's got a wine cellar, but he doesn't know where it's from.
25:42I lower my head, sipping tea,
25:43and my suspicions kick in.
25:45Then he starts talking about Hermes,
25:47saying he bought several bags for his ex.
25:49So I casually ask what size he bought,
25:51the cost, and how long he waited.
25:53His eyes darts away.
25:54Just the black one they had in stock.
25:56At this point, I figured him out.
25:58He's not from high society at all.
25:59His car is probably rented.
26:01His watch could be fake.
26:02His company could be a shell.
26:03But why is he getting close to me?
26:05Who sent him?
26:05That night, I hire a detective to investigate Rowan.
26:08He gets back to me pretty quickly.
26:10At first, I think the detective is just that good.
26:12But it turns out that in elite circles,
26:13there is no such person as Rowan Beckett.
26:16I don't expect after leaving Gavin,
26:17other men still try to scam me.
26:19As I'm thinking what to do next,
26:21Rowan invites me to a private club that weekend,
26:23saying his friends wants to meet me.
26:24That weekend, Rowan takes me to a private club.
26:26It's lavishly decorated, but weirdly empty,
26:29with hardly any guests.
26:30He leads me into a private room.
26:32A few people are inside,
26:33all dressed in suits, speaking politely.
26:35I take one look, and notice they feel off.
26:37If they're bosses,
26:38their eyes like that calm authority.
26:39If they're elites,
26:40they set it unpolished.
26:41They look like actors.
26:43Rowan pours me a drink.
26:44I say my stomach's unwell lately,
26:45so I don't drink.
26:46He doesn't insist.
26:47He drinks two glasses,
26:48then talks business with his friends.
26:50I say I'm going to the restroom,
26:51and I step out.
26:52The hallway is quiet.
26:53I walk to the room next door.
26:55The door's open, and I hear voices.
26:57One of them is Rowan.
26:58He's anxious and inquisiting.
26:59Mr. Reed, this woman's very guarded.
27:01She won't drink easily.
27:02The other voice is raspy,
27:03with a mocking laugh.
27:04No rush.
27:05Women like her respond to softness.
27:07In a bit.
27:08Propose like we planned.
27:09Once this idiot gets emotional,
27:10she'll do whatever you say.
27:11I know that voice.
27:12At the wedding,
27:13Mr. Reed,
27:14who Mrs. Vaughn beat up.
27:15I pull out my phone,
27:15and I start recording.
27:17I nudge the door open,
27:18and I finally learn their plan.
27:19Mr. Reed tells Rowan to propose to me,
27:21then get me drunk,
27:22so it'd be a done deal,
27:23and film some compromising videos
27:25to ruin me completely.
27:26Watching Mr. Reed hurry away,
27:27I pack the recording
27:28with Rowan's recent movement,
27:30and send it anonymously to an email account.
27:32Back in the room,
27:33Rowan suddenly stands up,
27:34and pulls out a diamond ring.
27:36He drops to one knee.
27:37Lydia, marry me.
27:38The actor starts cheering him on.
27:40I look down at Rowan on his knees,
27:41with a smile.
27:43Right then,
27:43the private room door swings open,
27:45and a woman walks in,
27:47holding an envelope.
27:47When Rowan sees her,
27:48his face changes.
27:49You,
27:50why are you here?
27:51The woman walks up to him,
27:52and smacks the envelope into his face.
27:54I came to see your proposal.
27:55You haven't divorced me yet,
27:56so what's this for?
27:57She pulls out a stack of papers,
27:59and holds them up.
28:00Look closely.
28:01Divorce papers.
28:02You haven't signed them.
28:03You ran off,
28:04owing two million dollars,
28:05and abandoned me and our child.
28:06And now you pretend you're rich?
28:07Rowan stands up.
28:08His face is bright red.
28:09What are you saying?
28:10One of the actors
28:11noticed the medical diagnosis
28:12under the divorce papers.
28:13They scream in shock.
28:15Gender work.
28:16HIV.
28:16The whole room erupts.
28:19Fearing infection
28:20after eating with this man
28:21moments ago,
28:21the actors rush
28:22to the hospital for tests.
28:23The woman charges
28:24and slaps Rowan.
28:25Rowan cuffs his face.
28:26Unable to say a word,
28:27I pick up the red wine
28:28and splash it in his face.
28:30Go tell Mr. Reed
28:31to send someone smarter next time.
28:32Over the weekend,
28:33I go shopping.
28:34When the elevator doors open,
28:36I see Mr. Reed
28:37with a young woman on his arm
28:38walking toward me.
28:39She looks about 27 or 28,
28:41very pretty,
28:41and dressed impeccably.
28:42But she looks exhausted
28:44with a bruise on her mouth.
28:45When Mr. Reed sees me,
28:46it's as if the Rowan incident
28:48never happened.
28:48He comes over and greets me.
28:49Lydia, long time no see.
28:51Let me introduce you.
28:52This is my new wife.
28:53Mrs. Vaughn told me
28:54that after the wedding,
28:55she quickly made him leave
28:56with nothing.
28:57I glance at the woman.
28:58She keeps her head down quietly.
29:00He holds her.
29:01They were about to leave,
29:02but she suddenly slips me a note.
29:04It's got a phone number on it
29:05and one line.
29:06I need to talk to you.
29:07Can we meet?
29:08We meet at a cafe near the mall.
29:10When she sees me,
29:11she takes off her glasses.
29:12There's a dark bruise under her eye.
29:13He beats me when he's drunk.
29:15He even uses my body
29:16to trade for deals.
29:17I want a divorce,
29:18but I'm scared.
29:19He says he has connections
29:20and killing me would be easy.
29:21I hand her a tissue.
29:22Do you have proof?
29:23She nods.
29:24I have photos of him beating me,
29:26texts forcing me to drink with clients
29:28and records of his tax evasion.
29:29I said,
29:30okay,
29:30I'll help you.
29:31Mrs. Reed hands over
29:32all the evidence.
29:33I contact Mrs. Vaughn
29:34and she hires the best lawyer.
29:36The proof is solid.
29:37Photos of abuse,
29:38chats of her being forced to drink,
29:40tax fraud books,
29:40any one of them
29:41can send him to jail.
29:42She signs the divorce papers
29:43and takes her share
29:44of what Mr. Reed has left.
29:45That night,
29:46I tell her to follow the plan.
29:48Mrs. Vaughn and I line up the lawyer
29:49and the cops are waiting outside.
29:51At home,
29:51she provokes him on purpose.
29:53She said he's nothing
29:54but trash living off women
29:55and he's a loser.
29:56What Mr. Reed hates most
29:58is being called a loser.
29:59Even if he really was
30:00living off women,
30:01he can't stand
30:01hearing someone say it.
30:02Sure enough,
30:03Mr. Reed snaps.
30:04He smashes the TV,
30:06table,
30:06and the vase,
30:07then charges at her.
30:08Right then,
30:09the police breaks in.
30:10As they take away Mr. Reed,
30:11he sees me standing
30:12at a distance.
30:13That's when he knew
30:14I'm behind all this.
30:15He fights like crazy,
30:16his eyes bloodshot.
30:17Lead your parents!
30:18I won't let this go!
30:19Just you wait!
30:20I don't respond.
30:20I turn and left.
30:21His shouting comes from behind me.
30:23Do you hear me?
30:23I won't let this go!
30:25His voice fades
30:26until it vanishes
30:27into the sirens.
30:27In a prison cell,
30:28the TV's still airing news
30:30that Mr. Reed
30:31is indicted
30:31on multiple charges.
30:32Gavin watches the report
30:33with veins bulging
30:35in his forehead.
30:36He breathes hard.
30:36His forehead slick with sweat.
30:39He is reborn.
30:39He remembers his last life.
30:41He and Hazel
30:42had it good with my money
30:43and moving into my house.
30:44But now he's locked up.
30:46Gavin grips the bed rail.
30:47His knuckles go white.
30:48He can't understand
30:49why this life was like this.
30:50He thinks Hazel's too stupid
30:52and she slipped up.
30:54Hazel's not him.
30:55Hazel has no brains.
30:56All she does is throw tantrums.
30:57If he knew my plan in advance,
30:59he definitely can find
31:00a way to cover up.
31:01Gavin lays down
31:01and stares at the ceiling.
31:03Once he gets out,
31:04he has plenty of ways
31:05for me to take him back.
31:05He closes his eyes,
31:07imagining his release
31:07and getting his glamorous
31:08old life back.
31:09A smile curls on his lips.
31:10Because of good behavior,
31:12Gavin gets out early.
31:13At his apartment,
31:14he washes up
31:15and gets changed.
31:16Then he comes to my office
31:17and waits for me.
31:18Gavin doesn't announce himself
31:19because he wants
31:20to surprise me.
31:21As cinco horas da tarde,
31:23I walk out of the building
31:24wearing an off-white coat,
31:25my hair down,
31:26in high heels,
31:27and head straight for my car.
31:29Gavin rushes over
31:30and drops to his knees.
31:31Lydia, I was wrong.
31:33I've changed, really.
31:34I did a lot of thinking.
31:35This was all my fault.
31:36I shouldn't have listened
31:37to Hazel or my mom.
31:38Please forgive me.
31:39Let's start over.
31:40I look down at him,
31:41my face emotionless.
31:43People nearby stop to watch.
31:44Some pull out their phones.
31:46Still kneeling,
31:46Gavin says.
31:47Lydia, I really mean it.
31:48Give me one chance.
31:49Just one.
31:50I'll treat you right from now on.
31:52I'll do whatever you say.
31:53I say.
31:54Gavin,
31:55kneeling here only makes me sick.
31:56Get lost.
31:57I walk right past him
31:58without giving him a glance.
32:00Gavin stays on the ground
32:01with people pointing
32:02and whispering.
32:03He slowly stands up
32:04and brush the dust off him.
32:05Then he looks toward where I left.
32:07His gaze changes.
32:08He's no longer
32:09that pathetic man on his knees,
32:10but someone vicious,
32:11cold,
32:11and merciless.
32:12You'll regret this.
32:13Gavin got home.
32:15Audrey's cooking noodles
32:16in the kitchen.
32:17She can tell something's wrong.
32:18She put down her chopsticks.
32:19What?
32:19She refused?
32:20Gavin doesn't respond.
32:21He sits on the couch,
32:23holding his forehead.
32:24Audrey follows him
32:25and sits beside him.
32:26I told you.
32:27That woman's ruthless.
32:28She's no decent woman.
32:29Why go to her?
32:30Gavin looks up.
32:31His gaze is resolute.
32:32Mom,
32:32I'm going to kidnap her
32:33and get her pregnant.
32:34Once she has the baby,
32:35her family's money
32:36will be ours.
32:37Their house,
32:38savings,
32:38company,
32:39all of it will belong to us.
32:40Audrey opens her mouth,
32:41wanting to say no,
32:43but swallows her words.
32:44She remembers me at the wedding.
32:46How I sent her son to prison.
32:48How I made her kneel
32:49and begged for mercy.
32:50I ruined her son.
32:51Ruined their family.
32:52Ruined her later years.
32:53Why should I get to live well?
32:55Audrey's voice turns calm.
32:56What should we do?
32:58I've scoped it out.
32:59Every Friday afternoon,
33:00she goes grocery shopping.
33:01The garage is empty.
33:03Mom will help you.
33:04Audrey stands up
33:05and goes to the kitchen.
33:06The noodles are overcooked.
33:07She turns off the stove.
33:09She stares at the ruined noodles
33:10and her hesitation
33:11slowly fades away.
33:13Friday afternoon,
33:14I leave the supermarket,
33:15pushing my cart
33:16to the underground garage.
33:17I walk up to my car,
33:18open the trunk,
33:19and put the groceries.
33:20From the corner of my eye,
33:21I see a figure.
33:22I don't turn around.
33:23I push the cart aside,
33:24open the door,
33:25and get in.
33:26I lock the doors
33:27and pull out my phone.
33:28Mrs. Vaughn?
33:29Gavin might come after me.
33:30I'm in the supermarket's garage.
33:31Someone's following me.
33:32Mrs. Vaughn replies fast.
33:34Don't move.
33:34I'm sending people over.
33:35I look back in the rearview mirror.
33:37The figure behind the pillar
33:38is gone.
33:39I start the car
33:39and leave the garage.
33:40Over the next few days,
33:41I don't notice anyone following me.
33:43But I stay on guard.
33:44That Friday,
33:45I go to that supermarket.
33:46Not because I need to,
33:48but because I want to lure him out.
33:49Hiding's not the answer.
33:50If he doesn't come today,
33:51he'd come tomorrow.
33:52I don't want to live scared forever.
33:54I push my cart
33:55and walk into the garage.
33:56I slow down.
33:58The garage is quiet.
33:58Only the lights are buzzing.
34:00I reach my car
34:00and bend down to put things away.
34:02Fast footsteps come from behind me.
34:04I don't have time to turn around.
34:05My hand clamps over my mouth.
34:07A cold blade rests to my neck.
34:08Don't make a sound.
34:09Get in the car.
34:10Gavin's voice is hoarse
34:11with some excitement.
34:13Audrey rushes out from behind a pillar
34:15and wraps my wrists with tape.
34:16After a long drive,
34:17we stop outside an abandoned factory.
34:19Gavin drags me inside
34:20and ties me to a chair.
34:21The factory is dark.
34:22Only one dim yellow bulb hangs overhead,
34:24swaying back and forth.
34:25The floor is dusty.
34:26There are piles of rusted racks
34:28and broken glass.
34:29Gavin drags over a chair
34:30and sits across from me.
34:31He looks deranged.
34:32Lydia,
34:33listen carefully.
34:34Be good
34:34and give me a son.
34:36Your family's house,
34:37savings,
34:37and company
34:38all get signed over to me.
34:39If you behave,
34:40I'll still let you be Mrs. Caldwell.
34:41If you don't,
34:42I'll kill you first.
34:43Then your mother.
34:44Your family's money
34:45will still be ours.
34:46Your choice.
34:47Audrey stands beside him.
34:49Arms crossing.
34:49Lady,
34:50if you just married my son,
34:52none of this would have happened.
34:53But you
34:53had to make trouble.
34:54You sent my son to prison.
34:56Well, look now.
34:56Your family's money
34:57was always ours.
34:58And you,
34:59you're ours too.
35:00Just accept your fate.
35:01Stop fighting it.
35:02Gavin stands up
35:03and gets his phone.
35:04I'll give you three minutes.
35:05If you say no,
35:06I'll call your mom right now
35:07and let her hear you scream.
35:09Sirens blaring outside the factory.
35:11Gavin freezes.
35:12He looks out the door.
35:13Red and blue lights flashing in the dark.
35:15Getting closer.
35:16Several police cars
35:17and Mrs. Vaughn's car too.
35:18Gavin charges over with a knife.
35:19You called the cops?
35:21When did you call them?
35:22He and Audrey keep watching me
35:23the whole time.
35:24He never sees me touch my phone.
35:26My mouth is taped shut.
35:27I can't say a word.
35:28My eyes drop to my wrist.
35:30It's the watch Mrs. Vaughn gave me.
35:32There's a tracker hidden under the face.
35:33The police breaks through.
35:35Gavin drops the knife and runs.
35:36A few officers chase after him.
35:38A burst of chaos
35:39came from behind the factory.
35:40Then it goes quiet.
35:41Audrey is pinned to the ground,
35:43handcuffs locked on her wrists.
35:44She struggles to lift her head
35:45and shouts at me.
35:46She was supposed to be my son's wife!
35:48Having his baby is only natural!
35:49She had a wedding with my son!
35:50That makes her my son's woman!
35:52She should be giving our family babies!
35:53Mrs. Vaughn rushes in,
35:55peels the tape off my hands
35:56and helps me out from the chair.
35:57Mrs. Vaughn holds me,
35:59her voice trembling.
35:59It's okay now.
36:00You're okay.
36:01I lean against Mrs. Vaughn's shoulder
36:02without saying a word.
36:03My wrists is marked red by the tape.
36:05There are no tears,
36:06just the calm of having survived.
36:08The case is ongoing.
36:10Audrey is locked up,
36:10waiting for trial in detention.
36:12But even after a long manhunt,
36:13the police fail to catch Gavin.
36:15Mrs. Vaughn fears Gavin would retaliate,
36:17so she assigns me more bodyguards.
36:18Tonight, I'm working late.
36:20When I walk out of the office,
36:21it was almost 11 p.m.
36:23The driver parked in the open lot.
36:25I walk over and open the door.
36:26The streetlights are dim,
36:27and everything is quiet.
36:28Out of the corner of my eye,
36:29I see a figure.
36:30Before I can react,
36:31that person lunges out
36:32with a knife in his hand.
36:33The light hits his face.
36:35It's Gavin!
36:36His face is full of rage
36:37and charges at me with a knife!
36:39I'll kill you,
36:40you vicious woman!
36:41It's all on you!
36:42You're why I'm ruined!
36:43Go to hell!
36:43When you're dead,
36:44I'll finally get my revenge.
36:45When the knife comes down,
36:47two dark figures rush in
36:48and pins him to the ground.
36:50The bodyguards follows me
36:51day and night,
36:52without a break.
36:53The knife hits the ground
36:55with a sharp clang.
36:56The police arrives quickly
36:57and shoves Gavin into the squad car.
36:59He struggles and looks back,
37:01staring at me through the window,
37:02his eyes full of hate.
37:03I stand under the streetlight,
37:05seeing them take him away.
37:06The case isn't on trial yet.
37:08Gavin and Audrey are held
37:09in the detention center.
37:10A few days later,
37:10I go to see Gavin.
37:12Not that I'm soft.
37:12I just have one question for him.
37:14Through the glass,
37:14Gavin sits across from me.
37:16He got thinner,
37:17his eyes and cheekbones sunken.
37:18He picks up the phone,
37:19and I pick up mine.
37:20You're here to gloat?
37:22I...
37:22I'm here to ask you something.
37:24Gavin snorts coldly.
37:25What's so important
37:26that you had to come?
37:27You've already won.
37:28Isn't that enough?
37:29Ay...
37:29When were you reborn?
37:31Gavin's eyes go wide!
37:33He stares at me,
37:33his lips trembling.
37:34The phone slips from his hand
37:36and swings on the table.
37:38He picks it up again,
37:38his voice changes.
37:39How did you know?
37:40His voice is shaky.
37:41You came back too?
37:43No wonder everything's different.
37:44So, it was all you're doing,
37:46not because of Hazel.
37:47I look at him,
37:47neither admitting it,
37:48nor denying it.
37:50I stand and put the phone back.
37:51You think coming back
37:52means you win?
37:53Through the glass,
37:54Gavin jumps to his feet,
37:55slamming the glass.
37:56His mouth keeps moving,
37:57but I can't make out
37:58what he's yelling,
37:58and I don't want to.
38:00The day of the trial,
38:00the courtroom is full.
38:02Gavin stands at the defense table,
38:03wearing an orange prison uniform.
38:05His hair is cut short,
38:06and he was skinny as a rail.
38:08When the judge reads the verdict,
38:09he suddenly shouts,
38:10She's reborn!
38:11She's reborn too!
38:13You can't just sentence me!
38:14The gallery bursts into laughter,
38:16saying he read too many novels.
38:17The judge bangs the gavel for order.
38:19He's pinned down by the bailiffs,
38:20but he keeps moving.
38:22I'm telling the truth!
38:22She died in her last life!
38:24She was reborn in this life!
38:25She set me up!
38:26She set me up from the start!
38:27The judge looks at him,
38:29expressionless.
38:30Defendant's mental state is abnormal.
38:31Record that.
38:32Gavin is sentenced to 15 years.
38:34Audrey got three years.
38:35As she is taken away,
38:36she looks back at me.
38:37No hatred in her eyes.
38:38Just hollow nothingness.
38:41At first,
38:41Audrey was yelling in court
38:43that I'm her daughter-in-law.
38:44She wants me to act as a wife.
38:45She's not wrong,
38:46but after sentencing,
38:47she lags behind,
38:48held up by the bailiffs,
38:49and finally gets scared.
38:50She cries and trembles.
38:52I was wrong.
38:52I was wrong.
38:53No one listens.
38:54I sit in the gallery,
38:55watching them be taken away.
38:57Mrs. Vaughn sits beside me,
38:58holding my hand.
38:59It's over now.
39:00Tonight,
39:00Mom and I sit on the balcony.
39:02The breeze drifts in,
39:03carrying the cool of early fall.
39:04Down in the residential garden,
39:06a few kids are running around,
39:07and their laughter floats up,
39:08bright and clear.
39:09Mom peels an orange
39:10and gives me half.
39:11I take it
39:12and bite into it.
39:13It's sweet.
39:14Smiling,
39:14I hug her.
39:15Mom, don't worry.
39:16I won't lose faith in life
39:17because of one piece of trash.
39:19She smiles, too,
39:19and pops the rest into my mouth.
39:21Okay,
39:22no matter what you do,
39:23I'll support you.
39:24The moonlight's lovely,
39:25the breeze is soft,
39:26and the city below is bright.
39:27Someone set off fireworks.
39:29One after another
39:30bursts in the night sky,
39:31bright as day.
39:32I lean on Mom's shoulder
39:33and close my eyes.
39:34Everything I've been through,
39:35the wedding fiasco,
39:36Mr. Reed's wife,
39:38Gavin's kidnapping,
39:39each one explodes like fireworks,
39:40then fades away like them, too.
39:42It's all over.
39:43I open my eyes
39:43and look at the fireworks.
39:45In my last life,
39:46I died on a night like this.
39:47But in this life,
39:48I'm leaning on my Mom's shoulder,
39:49watching the fireworks blaze outside.
39:51I'm finally free
39:52from the hold they had on me.
39:53A new day is about to begin.
