Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Brenna Barrett. For 20 years, I believed I was this family's daughter.
00:00:08That all changed today, when they found their real daughter.
00:00:12I finally realized I was nothing but a tool to them.
00:00:16Brenna, why must it come to this?
00:00:18We found our biological daughter, but that doesn't mean you have to leave.
00:00:22Take this money. Your biological parents are dirt poor.
00:00:25I doubt they can even send a car to pick you up.
00:00:28There's probably no more than $1,000 in that envelope.
00:00:31That's what 20 years in this family is worth.
00:00:36No need. They have already sent a car.
00:00:39Brenna, what's with that attitude?
00:00:41We raised you for 20 years, and you can't even say thank you?
00:00:45Mom, don't blame her. She never even finished elementary school.
00:00:49What manners could she possibly have?
00:00:51Right. I never finished elementary school.
00:00:55Because when I was 10, they forced me to stay home drawing blueprints,
00:00:59turning me into their money-making machine.
00:01:02Your wealth.
00:01:03Your company.
00:01:05The reason you're where you are today.
00:01:09All of it is because of my designs.
00:01:11Nonsense!
00:01:12The Barrett family's success is built on our own hard work.
00:01:17Goodbye.
00:01:18I turn and leave.
00:01:20My backpack hangs on my shoulder.
00:01:23I don't look back.
00:01:25Brenna, wait!
00:01:26I have a parting gift for you.
00:01:29This bracelet costs over $100,000.
00:01:33If things get tough, you can sell it for emergencies.
00:01:39I don't need it.
00:01:42Just as she forces it into my hands, her fingers hook the chain, peeking out from my backpack's
00:01:48side pocket.
00:01:51Brenna!
00:01:52How dare you steal my necklace?
00:01:55That's my engagement necklace from Geordi.
00:01:57Worth $1,800,000.
00:02:00I see the sly glint flashing through Isabella's eyes.
00:02:04This was a trap she set.
00:02:05She's been waiting for me to jump in.
00:02:07And that so-called gift is the fuse that's about to ignite everything.
00:02:11Brenna!
00:02:12How dare you steal my necklace?
00:02:14Brenna!
00:02:15Isabella's scream draws Alec and Ruby.
00:02:17They rush over, staring at the necklace in Isabella's hand, their faces filled with disappointment.
00:02:23Brenna, I offered you money, and you turned it down only to do this?
00:02:28She must have thought the money was too little, so she helped herself to something more valuable.
00:02:33I didn't steal the necklace.
00:02:34Then explain why it ended up in your bag.
00:02:37I stare at the necklace.
00:02:39The chain is thick.
00:02:40The stones are large.
00:02:41But the craftsmanship is crude.
00:02:43The cut and color matching are beneath standard.
00:02:47I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something this poorly made.
00:02:50Besides, when I packed my things in the attic, that necklace wasn't in my bag.
00:02:55It was you, Isabella, who slipped it in with your own hands.
00:02:59Shut up, you ungrateful brat!
00:03:00We raised you, and this is how you repay us?
00:03:05Mom!
00:03:10Though she stole my necklace and my design draft, since we're family, I'll let this slide.
00:03:18I watch her wave a blue folder in the air, and I can't help but laugh.
00:03:24Those are my designs.
00:03:26A nuclear-powered cargo ship propulsion system.
00:03:29Take a good look.
00:03:30The title is written in Amlin's language.
00:03:32You never even finished elementary school.
00:03:35How could you possibly understand any of this?
00:03:37I hold the blueprints up to the light.
00:03:40In the lower right corner, my personal anti-counterfeit watermark faintly appears.
00:03:46This is my personal mark.
00:03:50Feel free to compare it to Isabella's designs.
00:03:53Hers are all garbage.
00:03:57Isabella!
00:04:00Isabella, I thought these were trash, so I threw them in the trash can.
00:04:04These are your design drafts.
00:04:07The air pleases.
00:04:08I look at Alec's ashen face, and suddenly feel a deep, bitter irony.
00:04:14They never knew.
00:04:15I've long stopped being that little girl they could push around.
00:04:18When I walk out of the Barrett house, my phone buzzes.
00:04:22It's a message from someone claiming to be my sister.
00:04:24She says the family is tied up with work, and wants me to go to Flavor Restaurant first.
00:04:29The most exclusive establishment in Shire, with a minimum spend of $10,000.
00:04:36Excuse me.
00:04:37Are you Miss Brenna Harper?
00:04:40The lady from the Harper family waited for over an hour, but had to leave for an urgent matter.
00:04:45The dishes are all served.
00:04:46Please enjoy.
00:04:48A table full of dishes spreads before me.
00:04:51I sit alone at a large round table that can seat six.
00:04:55I thought this was the first warmth for my biological family.
00:05:01Miss, could you please settle the bill?
00:05:03The total is $109,800.
00:05:07If you fail to pay, I'll have no choice but to call the police.
00:05:17Can't even afford a meal, and you dare to come to a place like this?
00:05:21How about this?
00:05:23Kneel down and polish my shoes.
00:05:24I'll pay your bill for you.
00:05:28Sylvie Higgins, Vivian Morrison, two rich girls in haute couture and flawless makeup.
00:05:35Who are you?
00:05:37I don't know you.
00:05:40Who we are doesn't matter.
00:05:42What matters is that you don't belong here.
00:05:50Vivian raises her hand.
00:05:52I see the undeguised malice in her eyes.
00:05:56A hand grabs her wrist from behind.
00:05:59The man is Ethan Mitchell.
00:06:01The world's richest man, head of the Mitchell group.
00:06:04How dare you cause trouble at Flavor Restaurant.
00:06:07He's the kind of man who calls the shots in Shirier.
00:06:12Mr. Mitchell?
00:06:15Mr. Mitchell, the person who instructed the waitress and these two ladies to cause trouble
00:06:19is Rosie Harper.
00:06:21Now tell me, how dare you bully my fiancé?
00:06:25The entire restaurant falls silence in an instant.
00:06:29I stare at this devastatingly handsome man.
00:06:32Only one thought in my mind.
00:06:35Since when did I become his fiancé?
00:06:38Rosie Harper is my real parent's niece.
00:06:40When she walks in from the entrance, a sweet smile is still plastered on her face.
00:06:45She sees Ethan first.
00:06:46Then me.
00:06:48Ethan!
00:06:49What are you doing here?
00:06:51Rosie, explain.
00:06:54Why do this waitress and these two ladies all say you were the one who instructed them
00:06:58to pick on Brenna?
00:07:00Me?
00:07:01How could I possibly do something like that?
00:07:03Brenna is my cousin!
00:07:04Rosie, I have your transfer records.
00:07:07You paid me $5,000 to demand payment from Brenna.
00:07:10I also have our chat logs to prove it.
00:07:12Every transfer record and chat logs is highlighted in red.
00:07:16Sylvie and Vivian both avert their eyes from Rosie.
00:07:19Mr. Mitchell, the private room at Flavor Restaurant has surveillance.
00:07:23Miss Rosie remained there for over an hour during which she repeatedly called the waitress
00:07:27and these two ladies.
00:07:28The time stamps and call records align perfectly with the sequence of events.
00:07:32I'm sorry, Brenna.
00:07:33I was just trying to play a prank.
00:07:35I never meant to actually hurt you.
00:07:36A prank?
00:07:38You ordered over $100,000 worth of food and had a waitress force a person who was just
00:07:42kicked out of her home to pay.
00:07:43If Ethan hadn't come, I'd be at the police station right now.
00:07:46Sylvie Higgins, Vivian Morrison.
00:07:49On behalf of Mitchell Group, I am formally informing you.
00:07:52All our collaborations with Higgins Group and Morrison Group are terminated.
00:07:56Effective today.
00:07:57Sylvie's and Vivian's faces turn as white as paper.
00:07:59They know Ethan's punishment is a devastating blow to their families.
00:08:02All because they came here today and humiliated me.
00:08:07Rosie, you're a harper, so I'll let this go today.
00:08:10But if you make things difficult for Brennan again, I won't hold back.
00:08:13I promise this won't happen again.
00:08:16She lifts her head and gives Ethan a faint smile.
00:08:19But as she passes by me, I hear her whisper.
00:08:24You think this is over?
00:08:25Remember, this is only the beginning.
00:08:32The farce finally ends.
00:08:37Get in.
00:08:38I'll take you home.
00:08:44I get into a Rolls Royce driven by the world's richest man.
00:08:47The leather seats are soft.
00:08:51Thank you for helping me today.
00:08:53How about treating me to a meal?
00:08:55The world's richest man wants me to treat him to a meal.
00:08:58I can't help but laugh.
00:09:02He pulls out his phone to exchange contacts with me.
00:09:06I hesitate for a moment, but give in.
00:09:10The car smoothly enters an affluent neighborhood.
00:09:14My heartbeat quickens without me realizing it.
00:09:17Did you know there's a marriage arrangement between the Mitchell and Harper families?
00:09:21A marriage arrangement?
00:09:22I turn to look at him.
00:09:24He's gripping the steering wheel, and the profile of his face under the streetlights is like a perfect sculpture.
00:09:29It was arranged by my grandfather and yours.
00:09:32A son of the Mitchell family is to marry a daughter of the Harper family.
00:09:35For the past two years, my grandfather has been urging me to fulfill this promise.
00:09:38But I never took it seriously until I met you.
00:10:09Are you saying you want to marry me?
00:10:12The Barretts told me my biological parents lived in a poor, remote village.
00:10:17Yet this estate is clearly in the most expensive part of Shiri.
00:10:23I take a deep breath and press the doorbell.
00:10:25It rings three times.
00:10:27No one comes.
00:10:29The July sun beats down on me.
00:10:32Sweat drips down my forehead.
00:10:34They said they'd send someone to pick me up.
00:10:36Yet they won't even let me through the gate.
00:10:38It seems my real family doesn't care about me at all.
00:10:46Who are you looking for?
00:10:49I'm the daughter the Harper family lost 20 years ago.
00:10:52Impossible.
00:10:53Rosie personally went to pick up Brenna.
00:10:55They should be arriving together.
00:10:57Did you hear the news and decided to impersonate her?
00:11:00I am Brenna Harper.
00:11:02Look at what you're wearing.
00:11:04You're dressed worse than us servants.
00:11:05How could the Harper family's eldest daughter dress like this?
00:11:08I stare at this middle-aged woman in a housekeeper's uniform.
00:11:11There isn't a shred of respect in her eyes.
00:11:14What's all the racket?
00:11:15Has Brenna come home?
00:11:17A man with gray-streaked hair steps out of the elevator.
00:11:20His steps are steady and his gaze pauses on my face.
00:11:24I'm your uncle, Abelson Harper.
00:11:26You look exactly like your mother.
00:11:28I recognized you at first glance.
00:11:30Come in.
00:11:35Wow.
00:11:36My uncle leads me through the enormous living room.
00:11:39Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with sunlight.
00:11:43Your room is on the third floor, the one on the east side.
00:11:46It's been kept for you since the day you were taken.
00:11:49A suite that's 150 square meters.
00:11:52Separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom.
00:11:57Bigger than all the rooms in the Barrett house combined.
00:12:03I don't know what to say.
00:12:04A corner of my heart is slowly softening.
00:12:08She's dressed worse than us servants.
00:12:10Just because her face resembles Mrs. Harper's, she gets to be the eldest daughter of the Harper family?
00:12:16Only Rosie deserves this family.
00:12:18I won't let anyone take away what belongs to her.
00:12:23I peel off the clothes soaked through with sweat and step into the shower.
00:12:27The moment the hot water hits me, I nearly cry.
00:12:31At the Barrett's, I could only use the cold water left after they were done.
00:12:37I turn off the water and come out wrapped in a towel.
00:12:40But the bed is empty.
00:12:41My clothes and backpack are gone.
00:12:43Brenna!
00:12:44Brenna, Mrs. Harper didn't prepare any clothes for you.
00:12:47I took your clothes to be washed.
00:12:49This is an old dress of Rosie's.
00:12:51You'll have to make do for now.
00:12:53I stare at the wrinkled black dress.
00:12:55Sweat stains on the collar.
00:12:57Loose threads on the cuffs.
00:12:58Clearly worn and unwashed.
00:13:00She took everything I had and gave me someone else's dirty hand-me-down.
00:13:03She did this on purpose.
00:13:06Take it away.
00:13:07I'm not wearing that.
00:13:09Brenna, don't be so ungrateful.
00:13:11You can't go to dinner wrapped in a towel, can you?
00:13:14Her face shows undisguised satisfaction.
00:13:17She leaves, leaving behind that ragged dress.
00:13:24Just as I sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what to do next, the doorbell rings.
00:13:32Brenna, your M&G order has arrived.
00:13:3453 pieces in total, worth $30 million.
00:13:37You've made a mistake.
00:13:38The Harper family's daughter is Rosie.
00:13:41Take all of this to her walk-in closet.
00:13:45Leave them.
00:13:46They're all mine.
00:13:49Brenna, these clothes total $30 million.
00:13:53Can you even afford them?
00:13:54You're mistaken.
00:13:55This is M&G's elite collection.
00:13:57Every piece is one of kind.
00:13:58Each garment is worth over $5 million.
00:14:00Besides, these are all gifts from Brenna's friend, the founder of M&G.
00:14:03Not a single cent needs to be paid.
00:14:05I watch Rachel's face shift from smugness to shock, then to anger.
00:14:09Rosie Harper, you sent your servant to humiliate me, but you forgot one thing.
00:14:14I have never been someone you can push around.
00:14:19At six in the evening, the Harper family members start returning home.
00:14:23I change into the beige, floral M&G dress and head downstairs.
00:14:27Rosie is sitting on the sofa, and the moment she sees me, a flash of hostility crosses her eyes.
00:14:33Here, Brenna.
00:14:34I made you some ice cream.
00:14:39Brenna, how could you do this to me?
00:14:41I was kind enough to offer you ice cream, and you threw it all over me.
00:14:47Grandpa, Aunt Giselle, look at me.
00:14:50This dress is brand new, and now it's ruined.
00:14:53Rosie rushes over, tears already streaming down her face.
00:14:57Before you scold me, please take a look at this.
00:15:01I pull out my phone and pull up the restaurant's surveillance footage.
00:15:04In the recording, Rosie smugly ordering the waitress to demand payment from me early is crystal clear.
00:15:09Rosie, I am so disappointed in you.
00:15:13Apologize to Brenna.
00:15:16Now.
00:15:17I'm sorry, Brenna.
00:15:18I shouldn't have played that prank.
00:15:21I look at Rosie.
00:15:23Her head bowed.
00:15:24Her apology is perfunctory.
00:15:27Giselle walk to my side and take my hand.
00:15:30Mom owes you too much.
00:15:33From now on, I won't let anyone bully you.
00:15:36I look at Giselle's reddening eyes.
00:15:38In 20 years at the Barrett's, I've never felt this kind of warmth.
00:15:42The dinner table is covered in exquisite dishes.
00:15:45The air is filled with the aroma of black truffles and roasted meat.
00:15:50Brenna, I'm your father, Shepard Harper, and this is your mother, Giselle.
00:15:56He's the chairman of Harper Group.
00:15:58His eyes are gentle, but carry an unquestionable authority.
00:16:03Brenna, this is your eldest brother, Ernst.
00:16:06He manages the daily operations of Harper Group, and is the company's vice president.
00:16:12I look at all these unfamiliar faces.
00:16:14Some warm, some cold.
00:16:16I don't know how to respond.
00:16:18I'm their family.
00:16:19But this is my first time sharing a meal with them.
00:16:22I heard you only attended elementary school for four years.
00:16:26Even if you struggled, you should have at least finished elementary school.
00:16:30If you hadn't come back to the Harper family, how would you survive?
00:16:34The entire table falls silent in an instant.
00:16:38All eyes focus on me and Ernst.
00:16:43You think I dropped out by choice?
00:16:46It was the Barretts' decision.
00:16:47They saw my design talent and stopped me from going to school,
00:16:51forcing me to draw blueprints to earn money for them.
00:17:00His eyes are cold, a faint trace of mockery at the corner of his lips.
00:17:04I set down my fork.
00:17:06It seems this family dinner is far from the simple affair I thought it would be.
00:17:10I will prove myself.
00:17:12But not now.
00:17:13Not here.
00:17:16I stand up and leave.
00:17:18Whispers rise behind me.
00:17:20But I don't look back.
00:17:22Actually, I'm going out tonight.
00:17:24Someone referred a patient to me, offering $10 million.
00:17:28It's more than enough for me to establish myself in the Harper family.
00:17:32I arrive as the last disciple of the legendary Dr. Cuthbert Pierce
00:17:36to treat a retired military commander, Vincent Mitchell.
00:17:40What I don't expect is that he's Ethan's grandfather.
00:17:42You're Dr. Pierce's last disciple?
00:17:45You've got to be kidding me.
00:17:46How old are you?
00:17:47Barely 20?
00:17:48Lindsay Cohen, an attending physician at this hospital
00:17:51who made department head in her early 30s,
00:17:54she looks at me with contempt.
00:17:55Young lady, do you even know who's lying in there?
00:17:58A retired military commander.
00:18:00Even experts like us aren't qualified to treat him.
00:18:03Who do you think you are?
00:18:04Landon Scott, a senior internal medicine specialist
00:18:07who's been in the field for over 20 years.
00:18:09He hasn't even asked my name and already decided I'm a fraud.
00:18:13We're waiting for Dr. Pierce's last disciple.
00:18:16Someone at least in their 40s.
00:18:18Experienced, highly skilled.
00:18:20How could it be you?
00:18:21If you can actually treat the old commander, we'll apologize to you.
00:18:26Deal.
00:18:29I walk away and sit down on a chair in the corridor.
00:18:32If not for money, I wouldn't waste a second on these people.
00:18:35Ethan, where's Dr. Pierce's disciple?
00:18:38It's been over half an hour already.
00:18:40Theo Mitchell, Ethan's cousin.
00:18:43He's on the phone with Ethan.
00:18:44I glance at my watch.
00:18:46Christopher should be out of surgery soon.
00:18:48He's Dr. Pierce's grandson
00:18:50and my classmate from medical school.
00:18:52Only he can verify my identity.
00:18:54I watch the operating room doors at the end of the corridor.
00:18:57The doors finally open.
00:19:00Brenna?
00:19:01Why are you sitting out here?
00:19:03Shouldn't you be inside treating Mr. Vincent?
00:19:05Your colleague said I'm a fraud.
00:19:06They kicked me out.
00:19:08What?
00:19:09Christopher's face flushes red in an instant.
00:19:12He turns around and glares at the group of doctors.
00:19:15Dr. Pierce?
00:19:17You know her?
00:19:19Of course.
00:19:20She's my grandfather's last disciple.
00:19:22You kicked her out as a fraud?
00:19:25Impossible.
00:19:26She's so young.
00:19:27My grandfather takes disciples based on talent, not age.
00:19:31Brenna earned dual master's degrees in medicine and mechanical engineering
00:19:35from Norview University at 18.
00:19:38And you chased away the only one who can actually save Mr. Vincent!
00:19:43Christopher pulls me back towards the hospital room.
00:19:46The doctors who were so arrogant moments ago now can't even look me in the eye.
00:19:52Everyone, this is Dr. Pierce's last disciple, Dr. Brenna Harper.
00:19:59No one speaks.
00:20:01I turn around and push open the door to Vincent's hospital room.
00:20:04Before me, the old man on the bed is barely conscious.
00:20:07His left side is completely paralyzed, his mouth drooping.
00:20:11His eyes are clouded.
00:20:12This is the most difficult kind of post-cerebral hemorrhage case.
00:20:15Outside, those people are still murmuring about me.
00:20:18They believe a young woman like me can't possibly have real skill.
00:20:21Brenna, I believe in you.
00:20:23Ethan stands behind me.
00:20:25He's the only one who never questioned me.
00:20:28I take out the syringes from my medical kit
00:20:30and precisely locate seven nerve targets on Vincent's neck and left side limbs.
00:20:35Each medication formula is my own.
00:20:37Dosage, sequence, injection depth, off by a single millimeter and it fails.
00:20:42The room is quiet.
00:20:45Everyone holds their breath.
00:20:50My grandfather moves.
00:20:51It's only been minutes.
00:20:54But just as I'm about to leave,
00:20:56three uninvited guests suddenly burst through the door.
00:20:58Brenna, you wretched girl!
00:21:00You never even finished elementary school
00:21:02and you dare to impersonate a doctor here?
00:21:05Mr. Mitchell, you've all been deceived by her.
00:21:08We're the Barretts who adopted her.
00:21:09We know exactly what kind of person she is.
00:21:12Tell the Mitchell family the truth, right now.
00:21:16I have no ties to the Barrett family anymore.
00:21:19Please leave.
00:21:20How could you say that?
00:21:22I'm your adoptive father.
00:21:24If you get into trouble, the Barrett family will suffer too.
00:21:29Mr. Mitchell, don't let her fool you.
00:21:32She's been sneaky and lazy since she was a child.
00:21:36I stare at Ruby's twisted face.
00:21:39You forced me to drop out when I was ten,
00:21:40keeping me home to draw blueprints for money.
00:21:43I designed for over ten hours a day.
00:21:45When did you ever let me study?
00:21:47That was to train you!
00:21:49Without our training, would you be where you are today?
00:21:51Enough.
00:21:54Neville, escort the Barrett family out.
00:21:56What are you doing?
00:21:57Don't touch me!
00:21:58Brenna, you're so ungrateful!
00:22:00Brenna, just you wait!
00:22:02You'll regret this!
00:22:06The Barretts are dragged out by security.
00:22:09Ruby's shrieks echoing through the corridor, but I feel nothing in my heart.
00:22:13Are you okay?
00:22:16I'm fine.
00:22:19I've been used to it for a long time.
00:22:22From now on, this won't happen again.
00:22:25Ethan stands in front of me.
00:22:26His presence somehow makes me feel safe.
00:22:29For the first time, I think having someone stand by my side might not be a bad idea.
00:22:36After the Barretts are taken away, the room falls again a quiet.
00:22:40But those doctors look embarrassed.
00:22:46Dr. Harper, please, don't hold it against me.
00:22:49I already bowed to you.
00:22:50Can we just let this go?
00:22:52You need to apologize to me.
00:22:55You!
00:22:56If you have a problem with that,
00:22:59I can have the hospital director come and mediate.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:05Please forgive me.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:16I shouldn't have judged you by your appearance.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:20This is the end of it.
00:23:21I want more than just an apology.
00:23:23I need them to understand I am not someone anyone can walk all over.
00:23:33Dr. Harper, please, come here.
00:23:40Thank you for saving me.
00:23:43Mr. Vincent, you're welcome.
00:23:45Over the next month, you'll recover gradually.
00:23:49Vincent lifts his hand and grasps mine.
00:23:52He places my hand into Ethan's palm.
00:23:54His mouth curls up slightly.
00:23:56And he tightens his grip on my hand.
00:24:02Grandpa, don't worry.
00:24:04Once you've fully recovered, we'll get married.
00:24:07Ethan and I walk out of the hospital room.
00:24:10I notice the Barretts are still there.
00:24:13The moment Ruby sees me, she immediately puts on a fawning smile.
00:24:17Brenna, look at how outstanding you are.
00:24:21Isn't that all thanks to how we raised you, Mr. Mitchell?
00:24:25Everything Brenna has today is all thanks to the Barrett family.
00:24:29Her real parents are poor.
00:24:30They could never have given her this.
00:24:32I stare at Ruby.
00:24:34The light of calculation glimmers in her eyes.
00:24:36She thinks if she lashes onto the Mitchell family, the Barretts can rise again.
00:24:42Everything Barrett group has today came from my contributions.
00:24:47I owe you nothing.
00:24:48Brenna, you're an ungrateful wretch.
00:24:51Just you wait.
00:24:53Ruby's face finally tears away its mask.
00:24:55Her eyes are full of resentment, but I no longer care.
00:25:08Ethan offers me a ride, so we hop into his car.
00:25:17Has this seat been occupied by many people?
00:25:20No.
00:25:21My passenger seat is reserved for you.
00:25:25And from now on, only you.
00:25:28My heart skips a beat.
00:25:30His words are so blunt that I don't know how to respond.
00:25:35The moment we step out of the car, Rosie hushes over in her high heels.
00:25:40Ethan, you're here.
00:25:41Come help me.
00:25:42Do these clothes look good on me?
00:25:43She ignores me completely and leans close to Ethan.
00:25:47I'm here to drop off Brenna.
00:25:49Oh!
00:25:50Brenna, your mother ordered some clothes for you.
00:25:52I picked out a few for myself.
00:25:53You don't mind, right?
00:25:54I glance at the new clothes hanging all over the living room.
00:25:57Rosie already has over twenty pieces draped over her arm.
00:25:59She leaves behind only what she didn't want.
00:26:02I don't mind.
00:26:02Take them all.
00:26:04My fiancé's wardrobe.
00:26:06I'll take care of it.
00:26:07No need for the Harper family to trouble themselves.
00:26:10Rosie's expression changes in an instant.
00:26:12The clothes in her hands dropped to the floor.
00:26:15Fiancé?
00:26:17Ethan, you said she's your fiancé?
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:25Brenna and I will be engaged soon.
00:26:27Brenna, you've only been back for a few days.
00:26:31Why do you get what I've been yearning for over ten years?
00:26:36I won't let you have your way.
00:26:39Ethan can only be mine.
00:26:50Erste, listen to me.
00:26:52Brenna doesn't deserve Ethan at all.
00:26:54What's wrong?
00:26:54Her mother ordered her a bunch of new clothes today.
00:26:58I picked out a few for myself.
00:27:00And she was upset.
00:27:02Ethan even announced in public that she's his fiancé.
00:27:06Ethan was supposed to be mine.
00:27:08But now, Brennan's been back only a few days and already snatched him away.
00:27:15Regarding the marriage arrangement,
00:27:18Ethan has never shown any interest in you.
00:27:21Don't flatter yourself.
00:27:23Stop dwelling on this.
00:27:25Why not think about how to manage the companies under your name?
00:27:28I come downstairs and happen to overhear their conversation.
00:27:33Ernst glances at me, his eyes still cold.
00:27:37Brenna, Rosie says Ethan announced in public that you're his fiancé.
00:27:41Is that true?
00:27:42Yes.
00:27:49You've only known each other for a few days.
00:27:52Why would he want to marry you?
00:27:54You can go ask him.
00:28:01Brenna, what right do you have to become Ethan's fiancé or inherit the Harper family's assets?
00:28:08When you don't even have a college degree.
00:28:10Shepard's and DCRC expressions both shift.
00:28:13Only Rosie has a faint smile on her lips.
00:28:16Who told you I don't have a degree?
00:28:18I stand up and retrieve a document folder from my backpack.
00:28:22Inside are all my diplomas and award records.
00:28:24These are my dual master's degrees in mechanical engineering and finance from Norview University.
00:28:31These are all the awards I've won in international design competitions over the past five years.
00:28:39Fake, fake!
00:28:40They must be fake!
00:28:42Where would you get the money to study abroad?
00:28:44These have certificate numbers and official seals.
00:28:48You can verify them online.
00:28:50Dual master's degrees!
00:28:52Blanna is awesome!
00:28:57My child, you suffered so much at the Barrett's house and still achieved all this.
00:29:03You've surpassed both your brothers.
00:29:07No way.
00:29:11How could someone who never even finished elementary school achieve something like this?
00:29:16Even if these certificates are genuine, it doesn't mean you can run Harper Group.
00:29:20Harper Group is holding an automotive design competition next month.
00:29:24If you win first place, I'll acknowledge your capability.
00:29:27And if I win first place, what do I get?
00:29:311% of Harper Group's shares.
00:29:33I'll raise it.
00:29:35If Blanna wins, I'll also give her 1% of the shares.
00:29:38I want to compete too!
00:29:43If I win, those shares go to me.
00:29:46Rosie, you studied finance and management, not design.
00:29:51Why are you competing?
00:29:52I don't care!
00:29:53Why does she get so many shares just because she's back?
00:29:57I've been in the Harper family for 20 years and only got a measly half percent!
00:30:02Fine.
00:30:04If I lose, all the shares in my name go to you.
00:30:07I look at Ernst.
00:30:09He thinks I'm just putting on a brave front.
00:30:12But he doesn't know those years in Norville, the money I earned from design drafts,
00:30:17was more than Harper Group's annual profits.
00:30:21Brenna, there's an equestrian competition next Wednesday.
00:30:25A high-end social event.
00:30:28Do you want to go?
00:30:29Fine.
00:30:29I'll be there on time.
00:30:31Just wait.
00:30:33I'll humiliate you in front of all of Shiri's elite.
00:30:37Equestrian competition.
00:30:38Shira's largest race course.
00:30:41Million dollar membership threshold.
00:30:44A playground for the rich.
00:30:49Brenna?
00:30:50You actually came here.
00:30:52The Barretts are ruined, but you've latched onto a new man.
00:30:57Did Mr. Mitchell give you money for dresses?
00:30:59Isabella Barrett, the Barretts' real daughter.
00:31:02Jordie Barton, my snobbish ex-fiancé.
00:31:05Do you dare compete?
00:31:07Oh, can you even ride?
00:31:09I've already signed up for the competition.
00:31:12I just didn't tell them.
00:31:21Brenna, this is Ethan's racehorse, Onyx.
00:31:24He's letting me ride him.
00:31:26Mr. Mitchell still cares about Rosie.
00:31:28Some woman is just a passing fancy.
00:31:31Sylvia and Vivian, Rosie's two friends who harassed me at the restaurant,
00:31:36look at me with disgust.
00:31:39Have you picked a horse?
00:31:41If you can't ride, falling off is no small thing.
00:31:45Ethan told me Onyx was meant for me.
00:31:47Rosie claims he let her ride him.
00:31:49She thinks snatching my horse guarantees her victory.
00:31:53Well, I will show her what I've got.
00:31:55I wonder which fool bet on you to win.
00:31:57It was me.
00:31:58I bet 10,000 stakes.
00:32:0020,000 each.
00:32:02200 million total.
00:32:03If I win, it multiplies ton for d'or.
00:32:05Betting on Alex.
00:32:0720,000 each.
00:32:08100 stakes.
00:32:10Isabella swipes her card gleefully.
00:32:12None of them know on this track there's a legend called Knight who's never lost.
00:32:16And I'm Knight.
00:32:19I choose a bay filly that has never competed.
00:32:27Miss, this horse has never been on a racetrack.
00:32:30Are you sure?
00:32:31This is the one.
00:32:37Jordi, I'm scared.
00:32:39These are Shire's riders?
00:32:40A bunch of worthless trash.
00:32:43Knight!
00:32:43Come out!
00:32:45Don't be a coward!
00:32:46Alex Espinosa.
00:32:48An Orwell rider undefeated for two years.
00:32:51The starting gun fires.
00:32:53Nine horses bolt forward.
00:32:55Only one stays completely still.
00:32:58Go!
00:32:59You stupid horse!
00:33:00If you can't ride, get off!
00:33:04Isabella's horse finally moves by throwing her off its back.
00:33:07She collapses on the ground, face drenched in tears.
00:33:17My focus is not on her at all.
00:33:19The white figure ahead.
00:33:21Alex.
00:33:22The person you've been searching for so long is right behind you.
00:33:34Sylvie and Vivian flank me from both sides.
00:33:37Jordi blocks me directly in front.
00:33:39They want Rosie to take first place.
00:33:41So I'm not allowed to overtake.
00:33:43Don't even think about passing!
00:33:48Brenna, a woman like you should stay in last place forever.
00:33:52Jordi swings his riding cock at my horse's eyes.
00:33:56I lean down and release the reins.
00:34:03Sweetheart, show them what you can do.
00:34:05The bay filly kicks hard and forces her way through a half-meter gap between Sylvie and Jordi.
00:34:10Both horses lose their footing.
00:34:13Both riders tumble to the ground.
00:34:22That girl is incredible!
00:34:26That girl is incredible!
00:34:45I cross the finish line.
00:34:47The scoreboard lights up.
00:34:49My time is identical to Alex's.
00:34:52I take off my helmet, my hair cascading down.
00:34:57Rosie stands in the stands.
00:34:59Her fists gripping the railing.
00:35:01She said a personal best, but only first place advances.
00:35:07She stares at my face on the big screen.
00:35:11She can't understand why I'm good at everything.
00:35:14I lead my bay filly back to the stables.
00:35:18Ethan stands there, immaculate in his suit.
00:35:24You're Knight.
00:35:28How did you find out?
00:35:31Alex has been searching for Knight for two years.
00:35:35Knight disappeared two years ago.
00:35:39And you, you were abroad for exactly two years.
00:35:43Rosie charges her horse toward me, hooves aimed at my back.
00:35:47Ethan wraps his arm around my waist and lifts me entirely off the ground.
00:35:51Oh my!
00:35:53Brenna, are you okay?
00:35:55I thought I could stop.
00:35:57Ethan, I didn't do it on purpose.
00:35:59You did it on purpose.
00:36:02Your hand struck your horse with the crop at the last moment.
00:36:10If you dare harm her again, I'll make you pay.
00:36:16Sylvia, I saved your life, and this is how you treat me?
00:36:20Who asked you to save me?
00:36:23Disgusting!
00:36:24Don't touch me.
00:36:26I walk past them.
00:36:27They are both in miserable shape.
00:36:29Brenna, this is all your fault!
00:36:31You blocked me yourselves, fell off your own horses, and now you blame me?
00:36:37With that, I turn to leave.
00:36:40People like them aren't worth my attention.
00:36:44Alex finds out that I am Knight.
00:36:47Knight.
00:36:49This round, I'll defeat you.
00:36:53Then let's wait and see.
00:36:55His gloved right hand gently strokes his ring.
00:36:59In Norview's underground races, some riders use concealed needles in their rings to cheat.
00:37:13Fourth lap.
00:37:15I'm only eight meters behind.
00:37:17He glances back.
00:37:18For the first time, panic flashes in his eyes.
00:37:23I lift my crop.
00:37:28Within half a lap, I catch up to him.
00:37:31I turn my head and flip him off.
00:37:34Goodbye, champion.
00:37:47I cross the finish line.
00:37:49A scream rings out behind me.
00:37:52Alex's white horse rears up on its philanta legs, brutally stomping down on its fallen rider.
00:37:57His right leg is twisted at an impossible angle.
00:38:00Blood seeps from the needle wound on the horse's back, staining the white coat red.
00:38:06Alex Espinoza is disqualified for using cruel methods to abuse his horse.
00:38:11He is permanently banned.
00:38:13The arena erupts.
00:38:15I take off my helmet.
00:38:17The Bay Philly winners and nuzzles my face.
00:38:21I walk into the living room, holding my equestrian champion trophy.
00:38:26Rosie sits on the sofa, a document before her.
00:38:31I remember we had a bet.
00:38:36You haven't congratulated me yet.
00:38:38That was just the beginning.
00:38:40The real event is the design competition.
00:38:43Rosie pushes the document towards me.
00:38:50This is a betting agreement.
00:38:53If you don't win first place, you give up everything.
00:38:56These conditions are aimed at me.
00:38:58What about you?
00:39:00Because you need to prove you're a Harper first.
00:39:02The DNA report isn't out.
00:39:03You look like your mom.
00:39:05But maybe you had plastic surgery.
00:39:13I think Rosie has a point.
00:39:15You should cooperate.
00:39:18Giselle walks down the stairs.
00:39:23And takes the document.
00:39:25This agreement is completely unfair.
00:39:27I don't approve.
00:39:31Giselle tears the agreement to shreds.
00:39:34She suffered 20 years at the Barrett's house.
00:39:38Now that she's home, you still bully her?
00:39:43I'll draft it.
00:39:45This agreement must be fair.
00:39:47I watch them stand up for me.
00:39:49For the first time, someone has my back.
00:39:52If Brenna wins, she receives 4% of the shares and Erst resigns.
00:39:57If Rosie loses, all shares in her name transfer to Brenna.
00:40:01Why should I transfer my shares to her?
00:40:04Why should Brenna risk losing everything if she doesn't win while you walk away unscathed?
00:40:11This needs to be fair.
00:40:13Rosie bites her lip, her hand trembling.
00:40:16She glares at Shepard, the man who raised her for 20 years,
00:40:19now forcing her to sign such an agreement for his own daughter.
00:40:23Fine.
00:40:24I'll sign.
00:40:28Even if you win, Ethan won't be yours.
00:40:32The marriage arrangement is because our uncle saved Ethan's father.
00:40:37It should be Audrey who marries Ethan.
00:40:41I look into Rosie's eyes.
00:40:43I finally understand why she's hated me from the start.
00:40:47Not because of the assets, because of Ethan.
00:40:50Who Ethan likes is his business.
00:40:52And my business is none of your concern.
00:40:57This is my friend Dr. Hackadet Martinez.
00:41:00An attending physician at Doorhill Medical Plastic Surgery Hospital.
00:41:04He's here to examine Brenna.
00:41:06With an outsider.
00:41:11Why should I cooperate with an outsider?
00:41:15No need to check.
00:41:19Dalton Harper.
00:41:20My second brother.
00:41:21A well-known celebrity.
00:41:23He walks down the stairs in casual clothes.
00:41:26Phone in hand.
00:41:28I've invited Colt Guzman.
00:41:31One of the finest plastic surgeons in the country.
00:41:35Rosie, while I was away this is how you treated my sister?
00:41:38I didn't!
00:41:39I was just-
00:41:40Enough!
00:41:42Dr. Guzman will be here soon.
00:41:44Whether Brenna has had plastic surgery will be determined by him.
00:41:49Dalton walks over and gently puts his arm around my shoulders.
00:41:54The warmth of his palms seeps through the fabric, and I feel moved.
00:41:59Brenna, these are for you.
00:42:00Dalton hauls over a dozen shopping bags from his car.
00:42:03Luxury skincare, designer bags, plush toys, gourmet snacks.
00:42:07He piles them before me, calling it an apology.
00:42:11Dalton!
00:42:12Where's my gift?
00:42:14Yours are in the car.
00:42:17Plush toys and flowers from fans.
00:42:19Why does Brenna get things you bought?
00:42:23She's my sister.
00:42:25You're my cousin.
00:42:27There's a difference.
00:42:28Don't you understand?
00:42:33After examination, I confirm Miss Brenna Harper has never undergone any plastic surgery.
00:42:42As for Miss Rosie Harper, nasal implant, eyelid surgery, and lip line adjustments.
00:42:49The traces are still obvious.
00:42:51Everyone turns to stare at Rosie's face.
00:42:54She covers her face and rolls up the stairs.
00:42:57DNA test!
00:42:59We have to do another one!
00:43:02The previous three were all your own samples.
00:43:07This time I'll collect the samples myself.
00:43:11Fine. If you insist. Rosie can fuss however she wants.
00:43:17That evening, Uncle Abelson calls me aside.
00:43:20Boxes are stacked beside him.
00:43:23Brenna, your aunt and I are moving out.
00:43:26Uncle Abelson, is it because I came home?
00:43:29Silly child, how could it be because of you?
00:43:33My kids are grown, and it's time we had our own space.
00:43:38He gently rolls up his trouser leg.
00:43:40I see a metal prosthetic reflecting cold light.
00:43:43So he saved Ethan's father on the battlefield and lost a leg.
00:43:46For this family, he gave a limb.
00:43:48To make space for his niece, he moves out.
00:43:51Yet Rosie, for the sake of clothes and a man, stops at nothing.
00:43:54Through the crack in the walk-in closet door, I watched Rosie open my laptop once more.
00:44:00Password? The date she came home. Got it.
00:44:08The desktop is clean, only one folder. Competition design drafts.
00:44:13She inserts a USB drive and copies everything.
00:44:21Kennedy, take a look at these designs.
00:44:23What ranking could they achieve?
00:44:25These designs are definitely top line.
00:44:27They would likely be ranked in the top three.
00:44:33Even our most senior engineers couldn't create this alone.
00:44:37It would take a team.
00:44:41Rosie sits alone in the cafe, staring at those exquisite design drawings on the screen.
00:44:46She doesn't know, these aren't my competition entries.
00:44:49I deliberately left these drawings on my laptop, waiting for her to take the bait.
00:44:53This is the second time I've caught Rosie copying my files.
00:44:58I step out of the closet quietly, and stand behind her.
00:45:02What are you doing on my laptop?
00:45:07I didn't take anything! I was just checking if you were here!
00:45:11I grab her wrist and pry the USB drive from her hand.
00:45:15She struggles desperately, but my grip is iron.
00:45:17What's going on here?
00:45:22Dalton!
00:45:23Brenna twisted my wrist and broke it!
00:45:26Look! It's swollen!
00:45:28Dalton takes Rosie's wrist and examines it.
00:45:31No redness. No swelling. Bones completely intact.
00:45:34There's nothing there.
00:45:35Are you putting on another act?
00:45:37What's going on?
00:45:43Erst! Brenna is trying to harm me!
00:45:46Brenna, you're cruel.
00:45:49She steals my designs.
00:45:51I catch her red-handed.
00:45:54This man is look at me like I'm a stranger.
00:45:58Though I'm his sister.
00:46:00I'm not his sister.
00:46:01I never was.
00:46:07Eight in the morning, the entire Harper family arrives at the Forensic Center.
00:46:13Rosie is more excited than anyone.
00:46:16Brenna, are you nervous?
00:46:19The results come out soon.
00:46:21If you're not my uncle's daughter,
00:46:24you have to return everything you've taken from the Harper's.
00:46:30Regardless of the results, my engagement to Brenna will not change.
00:46:34Ethan walks over.
00:46:36His fingers lightly brushing the back of my hand.
00:46:47The results are in.
00:46:53There's no biological father-daughter relationship between Brenna and Shepard, right?
00:47:05The first report, the sample submitted by Rosie Harper, shows no biological father-daughter relationship.
00:47:12Did you hear that? No blood relation. I told you she's a fraud.
00:47:16The staff member still has three more reports. Aren't you going to hear them out?
00:47:21The second, commissioned by Luther Harper. The third, commissioned by Ernst Harper. The fourth, commissioned by Shepard Harper. These three
00:47:29all confirm a biological father-daughter relationship between Brenna Harper and Shepard Harper.
00:47:38Impossible!
00:47:40Impossible! This is impossible!
00:47:41Rosie, my sample. I personally pulled the hair from Brenna's head and sent it myself. Why are you so certain
00:47:48she isn't a Harper?
00:47:50Of the four tests, three affirm Brenna's lineage while only one contradict it. The only set that denies happens to
00:47:58be the one you submitted.
00:48:00Rosie, did you tamper with the samples?
00:48:04Rosie opens her mouth. Not a single word comes out.
00:48:11You were the one who took that sample directly from my hair. Why does it indicate I'm not a Harper?
00:48:19Did you tamper with the test?
00:48:26Miss Rosie Harper, what was your purpose in tampering with the samples?
00:48:30Were you trying to prevent Brenna from being recognized?
00:48:33I didn't. Brenna is my cousin. Why would I do that?
00:48:38I will host a grand welcome banquet for Brenna, inviting all of Shiri's elite.
00:48:47I watch Rosie flash her sweetest smile at the cameras. Her performance is really convincing.
00:48:58Kneel.
00:49:01Luthor's cane strikes the floor tiles with a muffled thud. Rosie kneels.
00:49:07Grandpa, I was wrong.
00:49:10I was jealous of Brenna.
00:49:12I was afraid she'd take all your love.
00:49:18Brenna, please forgive me.
00:49:21I don't hate you.
00:49:24But I won't forgive you.
00:49:31Rosie lifts her head, a flash of venom crossing her eyes.
00:49:36Alec clutched that golden-brossed invitation, his hand trembling.
00:49:41An invitation from the Harper family.
00:49:43They're holding a welcome banquet and specifically want us there.
00:49:48The day Brenna left, her biological parents sent a car.
00:49:52Could it really be the Harpers?
00:49:54Isabella jumped up from the sofa.
00:49:57Impossible! Aren't her real parents from some poor backwater?
00:50:01I looked into it.
00:50:02The Harpers lost a daughter 20 years ago.
00:50:06We adopted Brenna exactly 20 years ago.
00:50:10Then she's someone we can't afford to offend.
00:50:13We treated her like a servant, framed her for theft, and threw her out.
00:50:18She hates us.
00:50:19A cold, glint flash in Alec's eyes.
00:50:22We raised her for 20 years.
00:50:24She can't forget that debt.
00:50:26And neither can the Harpers.
00:50:33Dad, you really think she'll help us?
00:50:35She doesn't have a choice.
00:50:38If we lash onto the Harpers, we can turn our fortunes around.
00:50:43But what if she rejects us in front of everyone?
00:50:47We'll be a laughing stock.
00:50:49A menacing smile curled on Alec's lips.
00:50:52Then we'll beg her in front of all of Shuri's high society.
00:50:57If she dares refuse, she will be labeled ungrateful.
00:51:04Smart move, Dad.
00:51:07You're brilliant.
00:51:14Brenna?
00:51:15What are you doing here?
00:51:17Leave.
00:51:17The Harpers are Shuri's top elite.
00:51:20You're not one of them.
00:51:22Don't embarrass yourself.
00:51:24We raised you for 20 years.
00:51:26Don't drag us down with you.
00:51:29Get out.
00:51:32Mac grabs my arm.
00:51:34Isabella shoves my back.
00:51:36Ruby clears the path.
00:51:41I take a deep breath.
00:51:43And with all my strength, I shout.
00:51:45Mom!
00:51:54Mac releases my arm.
00:51:57Brenna, what's wrong?
00:51:59Who did this?
00:52:03Mr. Mitchell?
00:52:05Mrs. Harper?
00:52:07You know Brenna?
00:52:09You know Brenna?
00:52:11Brenna is my daughter.
00:52:13What were you doing just now?
00:52:17She...
00:52:18She's your daughter?
00:52:20The Barretts are stunned.
00:52:23Isabella steps back.
00:52:25Ruby's mouth opens and closes like someone is choking her.
00:52:33Ethan looks at the Barretts.
00:52:34They keep apologizing.
00:52:36Saying it was a misunderstanding.
00:52:38But the red marks on my arm haven't faded.
00:52:41Mr. Barrett.
00:52:43You stopped her from school.
00:52:45Forced her to draw design drafts for money.
00:52:47And made her a servant.
00:52:49Now that she's home, you lay hands on her again?
00:52:55Mr. Mitchell, this is all a misunderstanding.
00:52:59Neville, escort the Barrett family out.
00:53:01Neville walks over with security.
00:53:04The Barretts are carried out.
00:53:13Brenna, I had these three dresses sent from Paris.
00:53:17Wear this one tonight.
00:53:20I change into the red gown.
00:53:24When the skirt spreads out,
00:53:27I catch a flash of admiration in his eyes.
00:53:35But the other two dresses on the ack.
00:53:37One drenched in red wine.
00:53:39Get out.
00:53:41The other with a zipper that just happened to break.
00:53:47Rosie stands at the door, a wine glass in her hand.
00:53:52I say nothing.
00:53:54She thinks ruining the backups will make me lose face.
00:53:59She's really stupid.
00:54:01I walk onto the stage in that red gown.
00:54:05The moment the lights hit me, the hall falls silent.
00:54:09Honored guests, this is my daughter, Brenna Harper.
00:54:14The guests burst into thunderous applause.
00:54:17Then I see Isabella heading toward the stage.
00:54:20Her eyes fixed on me, her expression off.
00:54:24Audrey quietly sticks out her foot.
00:54:27Oh my God, her padded bra fell out!
00:54:29Everyone's eyes are on her.
00:54:31Wasn't she an ACAP before?
00:54:33Brenna.
00:54:34Ethan pulls out a ring box from his pocket.
00:54:37The world's richest man's man is proposing to me in front of all of Shiri.
00:54:41Marry me.
00:54:42The tips of his ears are red, but his eyes hold mine.
00:54:45I don't know why he chose me, but I don't want to refuse.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49Applause drowns the hall.
00:54:53Rosie stands in the corner.
00:54:55Her nails digging into her palms.
00:54:58Denise Wagner, heir to the Wagner family.
00:55:00Do you know why you fell?
00:55:02It was Audrey.
00:55:04She tripped you, I saw everything.
00:55:06Come with me.
00:55:07I'll help you get revenge.
00:55:10His hand lands on Isabella's shoulder.
00:55:12She doesn't push it away.
00:55:14Yes.
00:55:16Mr. Wagner, I'll come with you.
00:55:20Brenna, we've come to apologize.
00:55:22Tomorrow afternoon we'll treat you to drinks at the Imperial Bar.
00:55:25Sylvie and Vivian wear sincere smiles, but their eyes tell a different story.
00:55:29Fine.
00:55:30I'll be there on time.
00:55:33What awaits me at the bar tomorrow won't be just drinks.
00:55:36But I still agreed, because I want to see what they've got up their sleeve.
00:55:40The next afternoon at 4, I arrive at Imperial Bar.
00:55:43Seven young people are in the private room.
00:55:46Bottles and small packets litter the table.
00:55:48White powder, yellow pills, blue pills.
00:55:50So, you're Brenna?
00:55:53Not bad looking.
00:55:54Nice figure too.
00:55:55I wonder what she's like in bed.
00:55:57Harden Moreno, the black sheep of the Moreno family.
00:56:00Brandon Vargas, the deputy mayor's son.
00:56:03They look at me like I'm prey.
00:56:05Harlan drops a blue pill into my glass.
00:56:07It fuzzes and dissolves rapidly.
00:56:09Brenna, have a drink.
00:56:12Drink this.
00:56:13And the past is wiped clean.
00:56:15I worked in bars in Norview.
00:56:17I know what that is.
00:56:19Addictive.
00:56:20And an overdose causes unconsciousness.
00:56:22Drink up.
00:56:24You'll enjoy it.
00:56:25Two men block the door.
00:56:27Brandon is behind me.
00:56:28Sylvia and Vivian stand beside me, smirking.
00:56:31They never came here to apologize.
00:56:33From the very beginning, this was a trap.
00:56:36I'm not drinking that.
00:56:37Brenna, we kindly came to make amends.
00:56:40And you won't even have one drink.
00:56:42You look down on us, don't you?
00:56:44I clench my fists.
00:56:46My heart is racing.
00:56:48But not from fear.
00:56:51It's because it's been a long time.
00:56:54Since I've been in a fight.
00:56:57Harlan walks up to me with the glass.
00:56:59The blue pill completely dissolved in the wine.
00:57:01Drink it.
00:57:02Or I'll pour it down your throat myself.
00:57:04I grab Harlan's jaw and pour the entire glass into his mouth.
00:57:07He chokes and doubles over, his face instantly turning purple.
00:57:10You!
00:57:13Grab her!
00:57:14Brandon lunges from behind.
00:57:16I sidestep and ram my elbow into the bridge of his nose.
00:57:19Blood spurts out.
00:57:20The remaining five rush me at once.
00:57:23I kick over the coffee table, bottles shattering everywhere.
00:57:30Three minutes later, all seven men are on the floor.
00:57:34Ah!
00:57:35My arm is broken!
00:57:37Help!
00:57:39I stand amid the wreckage.
00:57:43Anyone else want to challenge me?
00:57:45I turn to leave.
00:57:46Suddenly, a group of men in black appears at the door.
00:57:50The leader wears glasses and a small mustache.
00:57:53Jonas Fowler, manager of this bar.
00:57:56Mr. Fowler!
00:57:58Mr. Fowler!
00:57:59This woman caused a disturbance in the bar.
00:58:01She crippled Harlan and Brandon!
00:58:04Mr. Fowler, please handle this.
00:58:08No need!
00:58:11His suit is immaculate, and his eyes coldly sweep over the people on the floor.
00:58:19How dare you harm my woman in my bar?
00:58:23This bar is yours?
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26Brenna, you decide how to deal with them.
00:58:29Mr. Mitchell!
00:58:30I was wrong!
00:58:31I didn't know she was your woman!
00:58:34There's a lot you don't know.
00:58:38Harlan.
00:58:40Thiago?
00:58:41What are you doing here?
00:58:42I've waited seven years for this day.
00:58:48Back then, when you and your mother forced my mom out, what did you say?
00:59:00That she was useless?
00:59:02That she deserved it?
00:59:05Stop! Stop! Stop hitting me!
00:59:08Thiago.
00:59:09Yeah?
00:59:10Just hitting him is boring.
00:59:12Let's make a bet.
00:59:14Harlan, there are card tables on the ninth floor.
00:59:17You bet against me.
00:59:20Lose one round?
00:59:22Cut off one finger.
00:59:23Pay 10 million.
00:59:25Are you insane?!
00:59:27Scared?
00:59:30A woman dares to go to the card table against me?
00:59:33I've trained five years in poker, three years in dice.
00:59:36No one can beat me.
00:59:37Brenna, you're going to regret this!
00:59:41Do you even know how to shuffle?
00:59:43Harlan spreads the cards across the table in a perfect flan, flicks his wrist, and the entire deck flips in
00:59:48midair.
00:59:49A ripple of admiration goes through the room.
00:59:51That's skill.
00:59:54Both players, please reveal your cards.
00:59:57I flip over my first card, Ace of Spates.
01:00:01Harlan's smile freezes for a moment.
01:00:04I flip over the second, Ace of Diamonds.
01:00:06His hand starts trembling.
01:00:09I flip over the third, Ace of Hearts.
01:00:13Impossible! You cheated!
01:00:14Harlan, you shuffled this deck yourself.
01:00:18Switch to dice!
01:00:20Lowest score wins!
01:00:22Fine.
01:00:24But the loser cuts off three fingers.
01:00:26With this many witnesses, no one can back out.
01:00:29I pick up the dice cup, give it three light shapes, and set it down.
01:00:35Harlan is still shaking his, his hand nearly a blur.
01:00:40I lift the cup.
01:00:42The six dice are stacked in a perfect column.
01:00:45The one on top is a one.
01:00:50Six ones? How did you do that?
01:00:53Your turn.
01:00:54Jonas walks over and lifts dice one by one.
01:00:57The first dice, one.
01:00:59The second, one.
01:01:00The third, still one.
01:01:02The fourth, one.
01:01:03The fifth, still one.
01:01:05The six dice, three.
01:01:07No.
01:01:08Impossible.
01:01:10This can't be.
01:01:12All color has rained from his face.
01:01:14His lips are trembling.
01:01:17And his pants are already wet.
01:01:23Tiago, it's your turn.
01:01:28Tiago picks up the knife.
01:01:31Harlan's right hand is pinned to the table.
01:01:34Five fingers spread apart.
01:01:36He's crying.
01:01:39Tiago!
01:01:40Don't!
01:01:41Please!
01:01:42I'll give you all my shares!
01:01:44Anything you want!
01:01:51Before you forcibly injected my mother with blue ice.
01:01:56My mother and I begged you.
01:02:01Did you show mercy then?
01:02:04I turn around.
01:02:07I turn around.
01:02:08A scream rings out behind me.
01:02:12Over a dozen black sedans block the road.
01:02:15Brandon Vargas, his nose still wrapped in bandages, holds an iron rod.
01:02:20Dozens of men in black stand behind him.
01:02:23Mr. Mitchell, let's go one-on-one.
01:02:31Who do you think you are?
01:02:33Who do you think you are?
01:02:33How dare you challenge our boss?
01:02:38Jonas punches Brandon in the nose.
01:02:41Blood sprays out again.
01:02:44Then he pulls out his phone.
01:02:49Brandon, take a look at this.
01:02:53It's a photo of Brandon's father in bed with a young woman.
01:03:00The next.
01:03:01A photo of Brandon pinning a girl's shoulder down and burning her with a cigarette butt.
01:03:05Where did you go?
01:03:09These materials have already been sent to the prosecutor's office.
01:03:14The Vargas family is finished.
01:03:23Rosie opened her walk-in closet door and she froze.
01:03:27Over 50 pieces of clothing all slashed to shreds.
01:03:32Her favorite MNG cocktail dress cut straight from the collar to the hem.
01:03:37Who did this?
01:03:39The former housekeeper who was fired is still by her side.
01:03:43It wasn't me.
01:03:44They were fine when I cleaned.
01:03:47Rosie goes over the surveillance footage three times.
01:03:50In the recording, only Rachel entered her room in the afternoon.
01:03:56No one else.
01:04:00Rosie knows it was me.
01:04:04I know she won't find any evidence.
01:04:07Because I already tampered with the footage.
01:04:11Rosie returns to her room and stares at the shredded fabric.
01:04:15These clothes total several million.
01:04:18But she doesn't care about the money.
01:04:20What enrages her is that I can silently destroy everything she owns.
01:04:24Brenna, this isn't over between us.
01:04:29I know she won't let me go.
01:04:33But she's no match for me.
01:04:36I sit in my room, watching my computer screen.
01:04:39The Morano family's stocks are plummeting.
01:04:42I'm short sailing.
01:04:44You don't seem surprised at all.
01:04:47I looked into you.
01:04:50Dual masters from Norview University.
01:04:52Graduated at 18.
01:04:54Your two studios pull in billions every year.
01:04:58Miss Brenna Harper, I've placed the fruit and juice here.
01:05:01Miss Rosie Harper is still checking the surveillance footage.
01:05:04Don't worry.
01:05:05I've already taken care of the footage.
01:05:07She won't find anything.
01:05:10You were the one who ruined Rosie's clothes?
01:05:13She ruined three of my gowns before nearly making me lose face at the banquet.
01:05:17And ruined one of my M&G dresses.
01:05:19I just settled things with her.
01:05:22Well done.
01:05:24Rosie and Ernest, they teamed up to make you sign that betting agreement?
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:29If I lose the design competition, I have to give up everything from the Harper family.
01:05:33Rosie even added another condition.
01:05:35That I could never work at Harper Group again.
01:05:40How dare they treat you like this?
01:05:42They think they can force me to back down.
01:05:45But they don't know.
01:05:46I never back down.
01:05:53Regardless of the outcome of that bet,
01:05:56I'm marrying you.
01:05:59Not because of the arrangement.
01:06:02Because I want to.
01:06:08Damn it.
01:06:09I can only swallow this loss in silence.
01:06:12Without evidence?
01:06:13If I bring it to Grandpa, I'll just get another beating.
01:06:20Rosie!
01:06:21You have to help me.
01:06:23My dad's been arrested.
01:06:24The Moreno family's scandals are all over the country.
01:06:28How am I supposed to help you?
01:06:31Aren't you close with the tax bureau chief and the people at the prosecutor's office?
01:06:36Harlan, don't kid yourself.
01:06:38Ethan is targeting at you.
01:06:40You think I can go against the world's richest man?
01:06:42But you said you'd help me deal with Brenna!
01:06:48I never said that.
01:06:55Rosie Harper.
01:06:57You dare play me?
01:07:02I won't let you get away with this.
01:07:05And I won't let Brenna off either.
01:07:08You will pay the price.
01:07:12Brenna, where is Ellie?
01:07:14Just tell me.
01:07:15I told you.
01:07:17I don't know.
01:07:18You stood up for her and scolded me?
01:07:20That proves you've been in contact.
01:07:21Jason Russell.
01:07:23The Russell family's playboy.
01:07:25Ellie's ex-boyfriend.
01:07:27Patrick's biological father.
01:07:29Jason, did you know that when Ellie left, she was pregnant with your child?
01:07:34I know.
01:07:35Did you know she gave birth alone in Norview, unable to even afford the hospital bill?
01:07:41Did you know she went back to work before her postpartum recovery was even done?
01:07:46You didn't know.
01:07:49You were on vacation with your new girlfriend at the time.
01:07:55I walk into the abandoned factory's operations room, wearing a mask.
01:08:01Dozens of masked technicians sit at computers, data streams flashing rapidly on the screens.
01:08:08King, black dragon in positions are built. The other side is still pressing hard.
01:08:12Code G1569, buy 38 billion.
01:08:17K5879, buy 19.2 billion.
01:08:20My fingers fly across the keyboard.
01:08:22The continuously falling curve at the center of the screen begins to slowly climb.
01:08:29It's rebounding. The market value is coming back.
01:08:32Two hours. I forcibly pulled the stock price.
01:08:36Which had been plunging off a cliff. Back up.
01:08:41King, the client has transferred the remaining payment.
01:08:44Four billion.
01:08:48Mr. Mitchell, King pulled back all 40 billion we'd lost in just two hours.
01:08:55King.
01:08:56The legend that only exists in the Undercity.
01:09:00The shadow in the financial world.
01:09:06No one knows King's real identity.
01:09:08But today, King saved my black dragon.
01:09:12I owe this person one.
01:09:18Who the hell are you?
01:09:20Brenna, the Mitchell family formally proposed marriage today.
01:09:23Ethan's father called your dad.
01:09:25They want you and Ethan to marry as soon as possible.
01:09:29What do you think?
01:09:32I don't want to get married.
01:09:33Is it because you don't like Ethan?
01:09:37No.
01:09:39It's that I don't want to get married right now.
01:09:44I just came home and family matters aren't settled yet.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:48Mom supports your decision.
01:09:50I'll have your dad decline the Mitchells.
01:09:55Do you know how many women in Shiri dream of marrying Ethan?
01:09:59And you actually refuse?
01:10:01Now that you've turned him down, he'll come back to me.
01:10:04When you accepted Ethan's proposal, I thought you actually liked him.
01:10:09Turns out you were just after his money and status.
01:10:12Rosie sits in a corner booth wearing a sun hat,
01:10:16secretly taking photos of Tiago and me having lunch.
01:10:20She angles the camera perfectly.
01:10:22It looks like we're kissing.
01:10:24She sends the photos to Ethan,
01:10:26saying we're on a date that we've gone through an entire bottle of wine,
01:10:30implying we're going to a hotel.
01:10:33Ethan appears at the restaurant entrance.
01:10:36His tie is crooked, fine sweat on his forehead.
01:10:39He rushed straight here.
01:10:42But he hasn't come to interrogate me.
01:10:44The moment he sees me, he exhale with relief.
01:10:53Who is he? Why are you with him?
01:10:56Mr. Mitchell, Bren and I have a purely professional relationship.
01:10:59Heron suddenly bursts into the restaurant and lunges with Tiago.
01:11:03But Ethan strikes first.
01:11:05His fist smashes into Harlan's face, sending him flying.
01:11:09A tooth flies out and bounces off the floor tiles.
01:11:15Brenna!
01:11:16You destroyed the Moreno family!
01:11:20Ethan, what Harlan said is true!
01:11:23Brenna is using you to destroy the Moreno family!
01:11:26Ethan doesn't look at her.
01:11:28He only looks at me.
01:11:30Brenna, I'll only listen to you.
01:11:34Ethan pulls me out of the restaurant and pushes me into the passenger seat.
01:11:39The moment the door locks, I see the emotion in his eyes.
01:11:43Not anger, but fear.
01:11:47We're going to register our marriage, right now.
01:11:51Once it's done, you're legally my wife.
01:11:53No one will dare touch you again.
01:11:57Ethan, stop the car.
01:11:59No.
01:12:00It's not that I don't want to marry you.
01:12:02I don't think the timing is right.
01:12:04You promised me you wouldn't force me.
01:12:08Ethan grips the steering wheel.
01:12:13He eases off the accelerator and the car pulls to the side of the road.
01:12:18Brenna, I won't let anyone hurt you.
01:12:21But you have to promise me too.
01:12:24No matter what happens, don't take off that ring.
01:12:29Alright.
01:12:34Rosie, I'm finished.
01:12:36The Moreno family has completely collapsed.
01:12:40The prosecutor's office is after me.
01:12:44What are you doing here?
01:12:47If anyone sees you with me, I'm finished too.
01:12:52You have to help me.
01:12:54I know you're connected to the underworld in Shirei.
01:12:57Help me find someone to take out Brenna and Tiago.
01:13:03Why should I help you?
01:13:05You're in love with Ethan.
01:13:09Once Brenna is dead, he'll be yours.
01:13:15How many men can you get?
01:13:17Jay's gang was broken up by the police.
01:13:20But his most ruthless men are still around.
01:13:2250 of them.
01:13:24If you pay, they'll even take on the military.
01:13:32I'll provide the money.
01:13:34But I have one condition.
01:13:37I want Brenna to disappear completely.
01:13:3911 at night, Tiago and I step out of the elevator.
01:13:43All the lights in the parking garage suddenly go out.
01:13:46Something's wrong.
01:13:47Don't turn on your phone light.
01:13:49Footsteps.
01:13:50At least 30 men, closing in from all directions.
01:13:54That's the bitch.
01:13:55She snapped my arm last time.
01:13:57Guys, beat her to death.
01:13:59The lights come on.
01:14:0030 burly men are holding steel pipes and machetes in front of me.
01:14:04I set down my backpacks and flex my wrists.
01:14:08You take the left, and I'll take the right.
01:14:12Race you?
01:14:14I bet a midnight snack.
01:14:24Jay lies on the ground, his right leg bent at an horrible angle.
01:14:3030 men, not a single one can still stand.
01:14:33My heel presses on his chest.
01:14:35He can't breathe.
01:14:37Who sent you?
01:14:41Rosie Harper and Harlan Morano.
01:14:45They put up 2 million for your head.
01:14:49I get home and open my laptop.
01:14:52The garage's surveillance footage recorded everything.
01:14:55I download the video, and then edit it frame by frame.
01:14:59In the footage, the garage lights stay on the whole time.
01:15:02No ambush.
01:15:03No fight.
01:15:05Just Tiago and me walking out of the elevator, getting into the car, and leaving.
01:15:11Rosie, you want surveillance footage as evidence?
01:15:14I'll give it to you.
01:15:16It's just that what you get won't be quite what you expected.
01:15:20Hiring people to commit murder, that's a serious charge.
01:15:26But you have no alibi, because you don't even know what happened tonight.
01:15:31Are you ready?
01:15:32Brenna, come look!
01:15:34I specially ordered this car for you.
01:15:37Deep blue SUV, smart voice start, bulletproof glass.
01:15:42Do you like it?
01:15:43I love it.
01:15:44Thanks, Mom.
01:15:48Giselle!
01:15:49This car is gorgeous!
01:15:50Miss, can I-
01:15:51Rosie, this is for Brenna.
01:15:53Brenna doesn't even have a driver's license.
01:15:55She can't drive.
01:15:56Let me use it for now.
01:15:59Rosie pulls open the driver's door and sits inside.
01:16:02She adjusts the seat, strokes the steering wheel, a look of complete entitlements on her face.
01:16:07I'm taking it then!
01:16:09Thanks, Giselle!
01:16:10Thanks, Brenna!
01:16:18Rosie drives my car onto the road, but she doesn't know that the brakes on this car have been tampered
01:16:23with.
01:16:24Not to kill her.
01:16:27Just to teach her a lesson.
01:16:29Red light, she hits the brakes.
01:16:33No response, again.
01:16:36Still nothing.
01:16:37A large truck is crossing the intersection.
01:16:40She yanks the steering wheel hard.
01:16:42The front of the car avoids the truck as the side slams into the guardrail.
01:16:50Rosie, how are you?
01:16:53Ernst, it was Brenna.
01:16:56This car was ordered for her.
01:16:57She must have tampered with the brakes.
01:17:00How do you know it was her?
01:17:02She hates me!
01:17:09Brenna, did you tamper with Rosie's brakes?
01:17:14What evidence do you have?
01:17:17You studied mechanical engineering.
01:17:19Making a car lose its brakes is easier than eating a meal for you.
01:17:21I look at Ernst.
01:17:23His eyes are full of anger and disappointment.
01:17:26He doesn't care that Rosie hired people to kill me.
01:17:29He only cares that Rosie...
01:17:32He never sees me as his sister.
01:17:35Ernst!
01:17:39I was with Brenna the whole time we looked at that car.
01:17:42She never even touched the steering wheel.
01:17:45But...
01:17:45Do you believe your mother?
01:17:47Or that cousin of yours who lies through her teeth?
01:17:50I'm sorry.
01:17:51I checked the surveillance footage.
01:17:53Mom was telling the truth.
01:17:55Save your apology.
01:17:57Just now you looked like you wanted to tear your own sister apart.
01:18:01Mr. Mitchell.
01:18:02Harlan is already on the wanted list.
01:18:04Both the prosecutor's office and the police are after him.
01:18:07Not enough.
01:18:09Last time he hired people to go after Brenna, this time he teamed up with Rosie.
01:18:15Find him.
01:18:17And break one of his legs.
01:18:19Understood.
01:18:22Harlan rummages through the basement and finds Tiago's mother's belongings.
01:18:27A diary.
01:18:28A necklace.
01:18:29A bracelet.
01:18:31If you call the cops, I'll burn everything.
01:18:34What do you want?
01:18:35The abandoned sports field next to the old school.
01:18:40Tonight at 10.
01:18:41Bring Brenna.
01:18:43Just the two of you.
01:18:48If you call the cops, I'll burn everything.
01:18:51I'll be there.
01:18:53You wait.
01:18:56I know it's a trap.
01:18:57But my mother's belongings, I have to get them back.
01:19:00Harlan and Jay have 50 men lying in ambush around the field.
01:19:04They think I'll be scared.
01:19:06But Tiago and I stand side by side in the middle of the field.
01:19:10The moment the gunshots ring out, we roll into the bushes.
01:19:15The grass here is waist high.
01:19:17We hide in the shadows.
01:19:19Each time someone approaches, we silently take them out.
01:19:23Half an hour later, Jay only has about 10 men left.
01:19:28Dozens of fully armed police officers and snipers pour in from all directions.
01:19:33Neville stands beside the police carts.
01:19:36Phone in hand.
01:19:37Ethan called them.
01:19:45Sorry, I'm late.
01:19:48No, the timing is perfect.
01:19:52I later learned that Ellie was falsely accused of plagiarism in Norview.
01:19:57They claimed she plagiarized her own design.
01:20:01And the client that was originally hers has already signed with them.
01:20:04She'd rather lose the lawsuit than owe Jaycee on anything.
01:20:10Yet if she loses, her brand will belong to the plagiarist.
01:20:17How will she support Patrick?
01:20:19I have to help Ellie.
01:20:26But how?
01:20:30Rosie Harper, you are suspected of hiring people to commit murder.
01:20:35Please cooperate with our investigation.
01:20:38What are you doing?
01:20:39This is the Harper family.
01:20:41Don't touch me!
01:20:44I let them in.
01:20:48Giselle?
01:20:50How could you do this?
01:20:52You hired people to kill my daughter.
01:20:57From today on, you are no longer a Harper.
01:21:06Your things have been packed and are outside the door.
01:21:08When you come out of the police station, go direct to your own home.
01:21:11Don't step through this door again.
01:21:12Mr. Harper!
01:21:13You can't do this!
01:21:15You watched Rosie grow up!
01:21:17You're fired as well.
01:21:20Your wages have been settled.
01:21:22Leave with her.
01:21:27Ernest stands at the entrance of the police station.
01:21:32Rosie's lawyer has completed the bail procedures.
01:21:34She's wheeled out in a wheelchair.
01:21:37Her legs in casts.
01:21:40Ernest!
01:21:41You came to get me!
01:21:44I didn't come to take you home.
01:21:48Mom and Dad said you can't come back.
01:21:51Then what are you here for?
01:21:53To gloat?
01:21:55I'm here to tell you.
01:21:57Stop going after Brenna.
01:21:59You can't beat her.
01:22:02And you can't beat Ethan either.
01:22:03You got bail this time because the evidence is insufficient.
01:22:07But if happens again,
01:22:09I won't help you anymore.
01:22:13Are you done?
01:22:15Yes.
01:22:18You'll regret this.
01:22:20The Harper family, the Mitchell family, Brenna,
01:22:23every single one of you will regret this.
01:22:27Ernest carries his suitcase out the main house gate.
01:22:31Mom stands on the steps and doesn't stop him.
01:22:34Dad is at the window, not even parting the curtains to look at him.
01:22:41Ernest, I wasn't going to persuade you.
01:22:44I just wanted to tell you,
01:22:47you're always my brother.
01:22:49He turns around and looks at me.
01:22:51The morning light shines from behind him.
01:22:54Brenna, I'm sorry.
01:22:56I owe you an apology.
01:22:59Today is the design competition results announcement day.
01:23:03Isabella walks in arm-in-arm with Dennyus Wagner.
01:23:06Denise is the heir of the Wagner family,
01:23:09lecherous and arrogant.
01:23:14Brenna?
01:23:15How dare you show up?
01:23:17You never even finished elementary school.
01:23:19Who knows which ghost designer you hired to draw those drafts.
01:23:24You picked on my woman,
01:23:26and that doesn't sit right with me.
01:23:28I'm giving you a chance to apologize.
01:23:31If you don't,
01:23:32the Harper family's design competition might not go ahead as planned.
01:23:35I don't reply.
01:23:37I smash my fist into Dennis' nose.
01:23:40The moment the blood sprays out,
01:23:43Isabella screams,
01:23:44You!
01:23:48Ethan walks into the lobby just in time and kicks Dennis away.
01:23:54Security, throw this man out.
01:23:57Security drags Dennis out.
01:24:00Isabella hesitates for a moment but follows him out.
01:24:05Brenna!
01:24:07I'm sure you'll take first place today.
01:24:10You've won so many international awards.
01:24:12These competitors, how could any of them compare to you?
01:24:18The winner must have been decided in advance.
01:24:20She's the Harper family's daughter.
01:24:22We're just here to make up the numbers.
01:24:25I look at Rosie's gentle, smiling face.
01:24:28Every word of her praise is meant to draw hatred toward me.
01:24:32Rosie, do you really think I'll be intimidated by others' skepticism?
01:24:44Actually, Miss Brenna Harper didn't grow up in the Harper family.
01:24:48She grew up in the Barrett family.
01:24:50My family knows her best.
01:24:52She never even finished her elementary school.
01:24:54Her dual master's degrees and international awards?
01:24:57All fake.
01:25:00How is that possible?
01:25:02Didn't Harper group say she graduated from MIT?
01:25:07You've all been fooled.
01:25:11Excuse me, I'm Tommy McCoy, head of Knight Studio.
01:25:14Every certificate of Brenna's was archived by our studio.
01:25:17The scanned copies of these certificates are now displayed on the main screen.
01:25:24You, you're her people.
01:25:26Of course you'd speak up for her.
01:25:27Miss Barrett, you claim Brenna never even finished elementary school.
01:25:31Then how do you explain that at the age of 10,
01:25:34she designed an entire set of auto parts blueprints for the Barrett group?
01:25:38Those blueprints are still in the Barrett group's archives.
01:25:45Shall I pull them up for everyone to see?
01:25:48The entire hall falls silent.
01:25:50Those who were whispering moments ago
01:25:52are now staring at the certificates on the big screen.
01:25:56Isabella's face goes red.
01:25:57She's probably forgotten.
01:25:59The very reason the Barretts could expand their business
01:26:01was because of the designs I drew.
01:26:03Now using this to attack me will only make everyone realize.
01:26:07The Barretts not only abused their adoptive daughter,
01:26:10they also plagiarized the work of a 10-year-old child.
01:26:15Next is the anonymous voting segment.
01:26:18All shortlisted works will be displayed only by entry number,
01:26:22not author name.
01:26:24Every designer and judge present has one vote.
01:26:28Voting is closed.
01:26:30The work currently ranked first is entry 132.
01:26:35Rosie almost jumps up.
01:26:40But I see Tommy step forward.
01:26:42I object.
01:26:43Entry 132 is plagiarized.
01:26:45This design is the award-winning work of our studio's lead engineer
01:26:49at the Norview International Golden Wrench Award four years ago.
01:26:52Every single line, every single piece of data,
01:26:55is identical to the original.
01:27:03Please provide evidence.
01:27:05Tommy opens his laptop and connects it to the main screen.
01:27:09He pulls up the Golden Wrench Award records,
01:27:11the original design draft creation timestamps,
01:27:14and the date stamps on every layer of backup.
01:27:28Confirmed.
01:27:29Entry 132 is identical to the Golden Wrench award-winning work.
01:27:34This entry is disqualified.
01:27:38According to the rules, after disqualifying entry 132,
01:27:42first place shifts to entry 133.
01:27:45Congratulations to Brenna Harper.
01:27:52The entire hall erupts in thunderous applause.
01:27:55I walk onto the stage and receive the trophy.
01:27:58Rosie sits in the audience, her face as white as paper.
01:28:01Now announcing the author's names.
01:28:03First place, Brenna Harper.
01:28:05Second place, Night Studio Team.
01:28:10Harper Group will offer the winners
01:28:13lucrative high-end automotive design contracts.
01:28:28According to the agreement, Ernst resigns as CEO of Harper Group
01:28:31and his 5% shares are transferred to Brenna.
01:28:33Rosie's half percent shares in her name are also transferred to Brenna.
01:28:36Ernst places the signed share transfer agreement on the table.
01:28:41Brenna, I'm sorry.
01:28:43These shares are what you deserve.
01:28:45Rosie stares at the agreement and refuses to sign.
01:28:48I won't sign.
01:28:51You have to sign whether you want to or not.
01:28:53This agreement is legally binding.
01:28:55If you don't sign, we'll resolve it in court.
01:28:58Rosie picks up the pen, her hands shaking, but she signs anyway.
01:29:01After Ernst steps down, Dalton will serve as interim CEO.
01:29:05Brenna, you are the youngest but most outstanding child in our family.
01:29:08Grandpa is proud of you.
01:29:09My daughter suffered outside for 20 years.
01:29:12She has finally returned to where she was meant to be.
01:29:15I look down at the transfer agreement.
01:29:18It bears Ernst's signature, Rosie's signature, Grandpa's seal, the notary's embossed stamp.
01:29:24This is their promise and my victory.
01:29:26But this is only the beginning.
01:29:28A greater storm is brewing in the darkness.
