Transcript

00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.

00:00:05Today, my family pushed me into hell.

00:00:07The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.

00:00:10The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.

00:00:15Jolene!

00:00:16Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!

00:00:19If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.

00:00:21Release Jolene first.

00:00:22Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.

00:00:26I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.

00:00:30But he doesn't even glance my way.

00:00:33I choose Jolene too.

00:00:35This is the man I loved for three years.

00:00:37Code-blooded.

00:00:39Roofless.

00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.

00:00:51But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.

00:01:00Poor girl.

00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:01:04No need to hurry.

00:01:06One at a time, boys.

00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.

00:01:10No!

00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.

00:01:16A dozen figures dressed in black storming sun.

00:01:19If you want to live,

00:01:23stop right now.

00:01:24I recognize the man.

00:01:26He is Liam Warren.

00:01:27The most powerful man in Artwell.

00:01:30Who commands a massive empire.

00:01:32Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.

00:01:35Mr. Warren.

00:01:36Please spare us.

00:01:53Who are you?

00:01:55I'm the one sending you to hell.

00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,

00:02:00desperate pleas,

00:02:01and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.

00:02:08How much did Jolene pay you?

00:02:10Five million.

00:02:11She wanted you ruined.

00:02:16Thank you for saving me.

00:02:22You've been poisoned for over a month.

00:02:25I can cure it.

00:02:27Do you trust me?

00:02:29I trust you.

00:02:30I draw a small blade,

00:02:32make a precise cut on his finger,

00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.

00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,

00:02:37you're gonna have to stick close to me.

00:02:39First,

00:02:41I need to end things with the Browns.

00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.

00:02:47When I return home,

00:02:48I find my biological parents and three brothers

00:02:50gathered around Jolana,

00:02:52showering her with care.

00:02:53I close the distance,

00:02:55grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.

00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?

00:03:01Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?

00:03:03You better apologize right now.

00:03:06Catherine,

00:03:08what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?

00:03:10Maybe we never should have taken you in.

00:03:13Me causing trouble?

00:03:16Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?

00:03:19She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.

00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.

00:03:25Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:03:27The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.

00:03:31No!

00:03:32It must be fake!

00:03:34Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?

00:03:37Or maybe call the police?

00:03:38No! No!

00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!

00:03:41I'm sorry!

00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!

00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.

00:03:47Just drop it!

00:03:48It's either her or me.

00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.

00:03:54In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.

00:03:57So why should I hold on to them?

00:03:59Just as I step outside,

00:04:01a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.

00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?

00:04:07Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.

00:04:10I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.

00:04:17The car glides into the Warren estate.

00:04:20The most powerful family in Ardwell.

00:04:26Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.

00:04:33Is everything settled?

00:04:34Yes, I've cut ties.

00:04:36From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.

00:04:38Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:40All right.

00:04:41But I have two conditions.

00:04:43First, I need a complete medical lab.

00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.

00:04:48Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:54But keep this in mind.

00:04:57If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...

00:05:01My medical skills won't disappoint you.

00:05:04Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.

00:05:06Buy whatever you need.

00:05:08Don't hold back.

00:05:09I take the black card.

00:05:10A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.

00:05:13Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.

00:05:16Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.

00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.

00:05:21This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.

00:05:24Ironic, isn't it?

00:05:25A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.

00:05:29I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.

00:05:34Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.

00:05:37Where did you run off to?

00:05:39Come back.

00:05:40Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.

00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?

00:05:44Who picked you up?

00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.

00:05:47Just return home.

00:05:49If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.

00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?

00:05:59Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?

00:06:03I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.

00:06:08I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.

00:06:13Get lost.

00:06:13Then I block them all without hesitation.

00:06:16That feels even better.

00:06:17This is how life should be.

00:06:18Logging out.

00:06:19I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.

00:06:24A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.

00:06:30Welcome back.

00:06:31Quietus.

00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.

00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.

00:06:38My phone rings.

00:06:40It's Jeral Douglas, my loyal admirer.

00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?

00:06:45I can't believe it.

00:06:46I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.

00:06:48Good.

00:06:49Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.

00:06:52The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.

00:06:54It seems Liam is already investigating me.

00:06:57Let them dig.

00:06:59Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.

00:07:05The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.

00:07:15Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.

00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.

00:07:26I'll bring out the new styles for you.

00:07:30Catherine?

00:07:31What brings you here?

00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.

00:07:35Jolene, is this your sister?

00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?

00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.

00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.

00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.

00:07:53Catherine, did you find someone to support you?

00:07:56Watch out.

00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.

00:08:01Jolene, I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.

00:08:04What?

00:08:05I saw those first.

00:08:07Saw them first, but can't afford them?

00:08:10Maybe?

00:08:11Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?

00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.

00:08:16I pay and walk out.

00:08:19I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction courses through me.

00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.

00:08:30The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.

00:08:33I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown, my makeup refined but understated.

00:08:40Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.

00:08:44I am Liam Warren's date.

00:08:46The most powerful man in Ardwell.

00:08:48All eyes are drawn to us.

00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?

00:08:54He actually showed up.

00:08:56Who's that woman with him?

00:08:58I've never seen her before.

00:09:00She's stunning.

00:09:02Is she from some notable family?

00:09:04I ignore the whispers.

00:09:06My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.

00:09:10Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm.

00:09:13Playing the part of a cherished woman.

00:09:15But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.

00:09:18Austin freezes too.

00:09:20He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.

00:09:26Catherine, what are you doing here?

00:09:29And with Mr. Warren?

00:09:30Where I go isn't any of your business.

00:09:32Who do you think you are to me?

00:09:37I'm your brother.

00:09:41I let out a cold laugh.

00:09:43Brother?

00:09:44Brother?

00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers, did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:49Catherine?

00:09:53Is with me.

00:09:55His words are dripping with authority.

00:09:59Jolene approaches, her expression dark.

00:10:03Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?

00:10:05You never mentioned anything.

00:10:07And didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?

00:10:11I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.

00:10:16Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.

00:10:19Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.

00:10:22None of that is any of your business.

00:10:25Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?

00:10:29Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears.

00:10:33Here she goes again.

00:10:36Catherine, that's not what I meant.

00:10:40Catherine, where have you been?

00:10:42Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

00:10:46We're not that familiar.

00:10:48Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:51Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?

00:10:59Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.

00:11:10Excuse me.

00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:19Did you catch that?

00:11:21Liam said it himself.

00:11:23She's with him.

00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?

00:11:29Wait, Catherine?

00:11:30Catherine, isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth

00:11:34and brought back from some remote place?

00:11:38Judging by Jolene's little comments,

00:11:40the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.

00:11:44Look at Deccan's face.

00:11:46Is he starting to regret dumping her?

00:11:49I don't look back,

00:11:51but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.

00:11:55The auction begins.

00:11:57One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.

00:12:00Beautiful work of art.

00:12:02A piece of history.

00:12:03A masterpiece.

00:12:11Dazzling.

00:12:12Priceless.

00:12:14But I've never been interested in jewelry.

00:12:16No matter how valuable,

00:12:18they're just stones.

00:12:19Just then,

00:12:20I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:22It's Jolene.

00:12:24Austin,

00:12:25this necklace is stunning.

00:12:26I really like it.

00:12:30Austin understands immediately.

00:12:32His eyes grow determined.

00:12:35Heh.

00:12:35Same as always.

00:12:37Whatever Jolene wants,

00:12:38Austin gives her.

00:12:44Once I was jealous.

00:12:46Now,

00:12:47I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:50Going once.

00:12:52Going twice.

00:12:53Going twice.

00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,

00:12:56a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:12:58Fifty million.

00:13:00Fifty million.

00:13:01Sold!

00:13:03Congratulations, Mr. Warren.

00:13:04Liam walks up to the stage and claims the necklace.

00:13:13Then,

00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,

00:13:16he returns to me

00:13:17and fastens the necklace around my neck.

00:13:24It looks good on you.

00:13:28I really like it.

00:13:30The sight stings Jolene's eyes.

00:13:33Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.

00:13:36I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.

00:13:42Fifty million for a necklace.

00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.

00:13:46After the auction wraps up,

00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.

00:13:51Catherine,

00:13:52you really are something.

00:13:53A few days away

00:13:54and you've already hooked onto Liam.

00:13:56Nothing as impressive

00:13:57as your lifelong mastery

00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.

00:14:00Why do you always target me?

00:14:02Cut it out.

00:14:03There's no audience here,

00:14:04so no need to pretend.

00:14:06Jolene spots Declan approaching

00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,

00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:12Catherine,

00:14:12even if you dislike me,

00:14:14isn't this too much?

00:14:15Throwing juice on me?

00:14:17What happened?

00:14:18Declan,

00:14:19it's okay.

00:14:20I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:22Catherine,

00:14:23you still haven't grown up.

00:14:24Jolene is your sister.

00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine

00:14:30and flick my wrist,

00:14:31sending the whole glass

00:14:33onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:34There,

00:14:35that's something I actually did.

00:14:37And I only take responsibility

00:14:38for my own actions.

00:14:40Jolene is stunned.

00:14:42Declan freezes.

00:14:45Seems I arrived just after

00:14:46all the excitement ending.

00:14:48Quite the lesson

00:14:49in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:52Mr. Warren,

00:14:53this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:56Misunderstanding?

00:14:57There are security cameras here.

00:15:01Review them if clarity is needed.

00:15:04Whispers erupt around them.

00:15:10Jolene's face goes from scarlet

00:15:12to ghostly pale.

00:15:15Let's go.

00:15:16The atmosphere here

00:15:17is suffocating.

00:15:18A fierce satisfaction

00:15:19rising in my chest.

00:15:21This time,

00:15:22I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:23Back in the Brown family,

00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.

00:15:26And all it got me

00:15:27was them pushing harder

00:15:28every time.

00:15:28Now,

00:15:29no one could step on me again.

00:15:36The following morning,

00:15:38I walk into the living area

00:15:40and notice Liam

00:15:41is already awake.

00:15:54Good morning.

00:15:56Morning.

00:15:58I head to the kitchen

00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:05Just then,

00:16:06Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty

00:16:16who stunned everyone last night?

00:16:18That's Catherine Brown,

00:16:19my new personal doctor.

00:16:22You're serious?

00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough

00:16:26that I can't ignore it.

00:16:28Mr. Moreno,

00:16:30perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:31Your dark under eyes

00:16:33and shortness of breath

00:16:34suggest your vitality

00:16:35is running low.

00:16:36Winfred's face flushes immediately.

00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.

00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?

00:16:42Miss Brown,

00:16:43I'm not one to judge

00:16:44by appearances.

00:16:45But Liam's condition is severe.

00:16:47Many top experts

00:16:48have been stumped.

00:16:49And you?

00:16:49I'm not bothered.

00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt

00:16:53many times before.

00:16:55We'll see soon enough.

00:16:57Winred,

00:16:58maybe you ought to let

00:16:59Dr. Brown give you a prescription.

00:17:02Liam,

00:17:03are you kidding me?

00:17:04This girl is not just some girl.

00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:07Right now,

00:17:08she's the one keeping me alive.

00:17:09He then turns to me.

00:17:11Can you really fix me?

00:17:15Yes.

00:17:1630 minutes later,

00:17:18I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,

00:17:23exposing his toned chest.

00:17:26I pull out the silver needles

00:17:28and insert them

00:17:29with speed and precision.

00:17:34When the last needle is inserted,

00:17:37Liam's body shivers.

00:17:39And he spits out

00:17:40dark red clotted blood.

00:17:46What did you just do to him,

00:17:48Dr. Brown?

00:17:48How are you feeling now?

00:17:55I feel great.

00:17:57Lighter than I have in a long time.

00:17:59Don't let yourself get too stressed.

00:18:01And most importantly,

00:18:03you'll need to prioritize

00:18:04rest and abstinence.

00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.

00:18:08I'll take your advice seriously.

00:18:10Winfred leans in

00:18:11and quietly asks

00:18:12if I can help with his health.

00:18:17I go back to my room

00:18:18and return with a bottle of pills.

00:18:21These are pills for male vitality.

00:18:24One bottle costs $100,000.

00:18:26$100,000?

00:18:27Are these pills made of solid gold?

00:18:30The ingredients are rare

00:18:31and the process is complicated.

00:18:34Quality always demands a premium price.

00:18:37Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:38A sports car can be repaired,

00:18:40but if your health fails,

00:18:42no sum of money will grant you a second chance.

00:18:45The following morning,

00:18:47just as I prepare to leave,

00:18:48my phone buzzles with a call from Austin.

00:18:52Catherine, come back here right now.

00:18:54What is it?

00:18:55You'll find out when you get here.

00:18:57I realize that for the sake of my own peace,

00:18:59cutting all connections with the Brown family is necessary.

00:19:04The mood in the living room is thick with tension.

00:19:11Look who's back.

00:19:13How did you sink so low at your age,

00:19:15becoming someone's mistress?

00:19:18Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.

00:19:21I'm afraid you're being misled.

00:19:23Who I decide to be with is my own business.

00:19:27It doesn't concern your family.

00:19:29You're a Brown!

00:19:32Everything you do stains our family's name!

00:19:37Catherine, seriously,

00:19:38do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?

00:19:41Are you all finished?

00:19:43First, Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:48Second, even if there were something else,

00:19:50it's none of your business.

00:19:52And don't forget that I am no longer part of your family.

00:19:55You said you cut ties,

00:19:57so give back the Brown Group shares.

00:20:02Those shares came from Grandpa.

00:20:05You don't have a single right to any of it.

00:20:09I pull out my phone and show them the screen.

00:20:11Since I stepped in,

00:20:13I've been recording all your insults,

00:20:15threats,

00:20:16and schemes to grab the shares.

00:20:18Keep pushing me,

00:20:19and I won't hesitate to hand this over to the press and the law.

00:20:25I put my phone away,

00:20:26feeling nothing.

00:20:28I used to put up with everything you threw at me.

00:20:32Now it's your turn to taste

00:20:34what it feels like to be on the other end of a threat.

00:20:39I leave the Brown family home and prepare to go back.

00:20:46Suddenly, a voice calls out,

00:20:48Catherine, is that really you?

00:20:50Where have you been hiding?

00:20:51I look at the woman before me.

00:20:54She's nearly 50.

00:20:56Her face lined with wrinkles.

00:20:58Her expression mean and petty.

00:21:00What do you want?

00:21:01You must have money if you're surviving this well.

00:21:04My son needs school fees,

00:21:06and you owe me half a million.

00:21:08If you don't pay up,

00:21:09I'll make a scene outside your place every single day.

00:21:13If you need cash,

00:21:14ask your real daughter, Jolene.

00:21:16I raised you all those years,

00:21:18so you should compensate me.

00:21:20You ungrateful brat.

00:21:22Stay out of my way.

00:21:24Otherwise, I won't hesitate to involve the police

00:21:26and reopening the case about you switching infants.

00:21:29You...

00:21:30Don't do anything rash.

00:21:31I'll...

00:21:31I'll be going now.

00:21:33Bridget scurries off in panic.

00:21:38Just then,

00:21:40a sleek black Rolls Royce glides to a stop beside me.

00:21:44The window lowers.

00:21:46Revealing Liam's handsome face.

00:21:48Do you need a hand?

00:21:50No, it's nothing serious.

00:21:51I've already taken care of it.

00:21:54Get in.

00:21:55It's nearly impossible to catch a taxi here.

00:21:58I hesitate,

00:21:59but eventually get into the car.

00:22:01Bridget's appearance reminds me of one thing.

00:22:04The Brown family's troubles aren't over.

00:22:06That woman's greed is bottomless.

00:22:08She won't let this go.

00:22:10But that's fine.

00:22:11I'm no longer that little girl who

00:22:13let others push her around.

00:22:16Anyone who wants to come after me

00:22:18had better think twice.

00:22:22On the weekend,

00:22:24Gerard asks to meet me at Harborview Genie,

00:22:26a popular restaurant.

00:22:31Catherine?

00:22:32I turn around,

00:22:34and my eyes fall on Jalene,

00:22:35standing with the Browns and the Fultons.

00:22:38Did you hear we'd be here,

00:22:40and decide to show up just to cause a scene?

00:22:42Mr. Brown,

00:22:43I'm here for the food.

00:22:46Just then,

00:22:47a clear voice cuts through the tension.

00:22:51Miss Catherine Brown,

00:22:52you're here.

00:22:53Welcome.

00:22:54Please follow me.

00:22:55Everyone stares in shock

00:22:56as I walk toward the most private,

00:22:58rarely accessible suite

00:22:59in the entire restaurant.

00:23:02How is she getting in there?

00:23:03There must be some mistake.

00:23:06I push open the suite door,

00:23:08and Gerard immediately rises from his seat.

00:23:12Catherine,

00:23:13you made it.

00:23:14Gerard tells me his uncle

00:23:15has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

00:23:17He says the required surgery

00:23:19carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:25Start with this medication.

00:23:27Come back in a week for a follow-up.

00:23:29We'll reassess then.

00:23:34Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:36I was sure you'd have a solution.

00:23:38After the meal,

00:23:39Gerard leans forward and asks

00:23:41if I need help with anything.

00:23:44I want to buy a house.

00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,

00:23:47but it must be extremely quiet and private,

00:23:49with top-tier security.

00:23:51I'll handle it.

00:23:52I'll find something perfect for you.

00:23:53Oh, and you're starting

00:23:54at Aurelis University next Monday, right?

00:23:56I'm going to study.

00:23:58Medical school.

00:23:59You need to study medicine?

00:24:01You've got to be kidding me!

00:24:03I'm getting a formal degree

00:24:04and taking care of some personal business.

00:24:06Campus life isn't a bad experience after all.

00:24:11The manager hands me

00:24:12an exclusive premium membership card,

00:24:14saying all my expenses here

00:24:16will be on the house from now on.

00:24:19I glance over at Gerard.

00:24:21And he breaks into a grin.

00:24:22Don't refuse it.

00:24:24This is our business,

00:24:25so just enjoy it.

00:24:29Fine.

00:24:30After being chased away

00:24:32from my private suite,

00:24:33Jolene drags herself

00:24:34to her family's box.

00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?

00:24:49Mom, I'm fine.

00:24:51I just stepped out

00:24:52to see who Catherine was meeting.

00:24:53I was worried about her,

00:24:55but she had me pushed away.

00:24:58What?

00:24:58How dare she treat you that way?

00:25:02That ungrateful girl!

00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:07I saw it too.

00:25:09The manager was treating Catherine

00:25:11with a lot of respect.

00:25:12Yes.

00:25:13That man had an aura

00:25:15you can't fake.

00:25:16Catherine is clearly

00:25:17in the high circles.

00:25:19No wonder she's trying

00:25:20to distance herself from us.

00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.

00:25:32Who knows what kind of company

00:25:34she's keeping now?

00:25:36Jolene's heart swells

00:25:37with secret satisfaction.

00:25:39I have burned my bridges

00:25:40with the family for good.

00:25:43She is the Brown family's

00:25:45one and only daughter now.

00:25:48The dinner finally ends

00:25:49and the two families part way

00:25:51at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:53When an unexpected grating voice

00:25:55rings out behind Jolene,

00:25:57she turn around

00:25:58and her smile freezes.

00:26:00It's her.

00:26:02Jolene!

00:26:03My dear daughter!

00:26:05Finally!

00:26:06I found you!

00:26:07Her blood runs cold.

00:26:10Jolene,

00:26:11your younger brother

00:26:13needs money for school.

00:26:15Maybe you could help us out?

00:26:20I don't have time

00:26:21for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:22Take this

00:26:23and never show your face

00:26:24around me again.

00:26:26Jolene,

00:26:26this isn't nearly enough.

00:26:28The tuition alone

00:26:29is a hundred thousand.

00:26:30Her hands tremble

00:26:31with unbridled rage.

00:26:33This wretched woman

00:26:34just won't know her place.

00:26:36I don't know you!

00:26:37My parents already

00:26:38paid you enough

00:26:39to cut ties

00:26:39all those years ago!

00:26:45I can't let this go on.

00:26:47I need to find a way

00:26:48to get rid of this problem

00:26:49for good.

00:26:51The day I've been waiting for

00:26:52has finally arrived.

00:26:54My first day reporting

00:26:55to Ararius University.

00:27:09Jolene,

00:27:10is this your sister?

00:27:11Since when

00:27:12does Ararius University

00:27:13let random nobodies

00:27:14walk in?

00:27:15Well,

00:27:16isn't this a lovely

00:27:16coincidence,

00:27:17Jolene?

00:27:18Looks like we're going

00:27:19to be classmates.

00:27:20Classmates?

00:27:21You and me?

00:27:22Don't be ridiculous!

00:27:25The lecture bell

00:27:26chimes sharp and clear

00:27:28and Professor Lambert Carter

00:27:29steps through the door.

00:27:31He's a living legend

00:27:32in the global medical field,

00:27:34the heart of this school's

00:27:35medical program.

00:27:36He turns to the class

00:27:38and poses an extremely complex

00:27:40peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:43The entire lecture hall

00:27:45falls dead silent,

00:27:46not a single student

00:27:48daring to speak up.

00:27:52Young lady,

00:27:53please tell us

00:27:53what you think.

00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly,

00:27:56no trace of panic

00:27:57in my movements,

00:27:58and stand up.

00:27:59I lay out my analysis

00:28:00clearly and concisely,

00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,

00:28:04clinical data,

00:28:05and real surgical cases

00:28:06effortlessly.

00:28:09She's incredible!

00:28:10Total beauty and brains!

00:28:12Who even is she?

00:28:15Jolene's face burns

00:28:16with jealousy,

00:28:17her grip tight on her pen.

00:28:20When the final bell rings,

00:28:22I walk out of the lecture hall.

00:28:24Jolene steps in front of me

00:28:26with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:28Catherine,

00:28:29just a few days away,

00:28:30and suddenly you're the one

00:28:32catching everyone's attention.

00:28:34Jolene,

00:28:35she's probably pulling stunts

00:28:36she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:38Exactly!

00:28:39Everyone whispers

00:28:40she knows how to charm

00:28:41the right people.

00:28:42Is that all?

00:28:44Now,

00:28:45move aside, mutt.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:50Paige steps forward

00:28:51to push me.

00:28:53I'm not going to warn you twice.

00:28:55Hands to yourselves.

00:29:00Catherine!

00:29:01You can't just touch people

00:29:02like that!

00:29:03Jolene,

00:29:03keep your little gang in check.

00:29:05If they open their mouths

00:29:06like that again,

00:29:07next time won't be so friendly.

00:29:09Watch your tone.

00:29:10You're messing with

00:29:12the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:14The Brown family?

00:29:17That's your problem,

00:29:18not mine.

00:29:20Stop pretending.

00:29:21It's pathetic.

00:29:23I turn and walk away.

00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion

00:29:33and find Liam

00:29:34in the living room.

00:29:37You were out?

00:29:39Yeah.

00:29:40I stopped by

00:29:41Aurelius University

00:29:42to check in.

00:29:43Also took a look

00:29:44at a new place

00:29:45while I was out.

00:29:46You're moving out?

00:29:47Yeah.

00:29:48Staying here long term

00:29:49isn't practical.

00:29:50Your treatment

00:29:51has leveled out.

00:29:52It won't interfere

00:29:53with your progress.

00:29:54Where's the new place?

00:29:55I offer the building

00:29:56and unit number

00:29:57of Sterling Haven

00:29:58without hesitation.

00:29:59Then I prepare

00:30:00a medicinal shower.

00:30:02The water warmed perfectly,

00:30:04a thin mist

00:30:06curling through the room.

00:30:08It's ready?

00:30:10Liam walks toward

00:30:11the treatment area,

00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt

00:30:14as he moves.

00:30:15His long fingers

00:30:16loosen the fabric,

00:30:18revealing toned muscles

00:30:19and defined contours.

00:30:22Take the pants off, too.

00:30:27What's the matter?

00:30:29Feeling shy now?

00:30:30After some hesitation,

00:30:32Liam strips down

00:30:32to his briefs

00:30:33and eases himself

00:30:34into the steaming water.

00:30:36Though composed

00:30:38moments ago,

00:30:39my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:40It's not like

00:30:41this is the first time

00:30:43I've treated him.

00:30:44Why am I so flustered?

00:30:47Get it together, Catherine.

00:30:49You're a doctor.

00:30:50Stay professional.

00:30:51Don't let a handsome face

00:30:52and a good body

00:30:53throw you off.

00:30:55The next day,

00:30:56I head to the lab

00:30:57to find Lombard.

00:31:00Perfect timing.

00:31:01I've been wrestling

00:31:01with this data all morning.

00:31:02Come check this out.

00:31:08The two of us

00:31:09slip effortlessly

00:31:10into a heated discussion.

00:31:20Professor Carter,

00:31:21sorry to interrupt,

00:31:22but there's something

00:31:22I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:23If you have something

00:31:24to say,

00:31:25just say it.

00:31:26Professor,

00:31:27I know you prize

00:31:28real skill,

00:31:29but Kathleen is not

00:31:31who you think she is.

00:31:32She never attended

00:31:33a proper university.

00:31:34How could she grasp

00:31:35complex medical research?

00:31:37I'm afraid

00:31:37you're being deceived.

00:31:39Enough!

00:31:40Jolene,

00:31:41I don't know

00:31:41what you're trying to do

00:31:42with these accusations,

00:31:43but I've seen enough

00:31:44to know true talent

00:31:46when it's in front of me.

00:31:47Catherine identified

00:31:48the error

00:31:48the moment she looked at it.

00:31:50Most PhD candidates

00:31:51wouldn't even catch

00:31:52this mistake

00:31:53the first time around.

00:31:54Tell me,

00:31:55how could anyone

00:31:56possibly fake

00:31:57that level

00:31:58of understanding?

00:32:03Professor Carter,

00:32:04I...

00:32:05I know true talent

00:32:06when I see it.

00:32:07I don't need

00:32:08your commentary.

00:32:09Now,

00:32:10please step outside.

00:32:20In that moment,

00:32:21I knew I'd found

00:32:22someone who saw me,

00:32:23not the lies

00:32:24they spread about me.

00:32:32Hey,

00:32:34I'm Catherine Brown.

00:32:36Just as I walked

00:32:37into the classroom

00:32:37and took my seat,

00:32:38I noticed the girl

00:32:40next to me,

00:32:41her cheek marked

00:32:42by a dark birthmark.

00:32:44Hi,

00:32:45I'm

00:32:46Claudia Norris.

00:32:51Well, well,

00:32:52what do we have here?

00:32:53one caught attention

00:32:55by pure chance

00:32:56and the other,

00:32:57well,

00:32:57the problem's

00:32:58pretty obvious.

00:32:59The snickling spread

00:33:00through the classroom

00:33:00in an instant.

00:33:02Every gaze nailed

00:33:03onto the two of us.

00:33:04Oh, come on,

00:33:05everyone.

00:33:06Don't be so harsh.

00:33:08Professor Carter

00:33:08thinks the world

00:33:09of Catherine.

00:33:13So she's really

00:33:14riding Professor Carter's

00:33:15coattails

00:33:15to get into med school?

00:33:16How pathetic.

00:33:18Oh, wow.

00:33:19Catherine,

00:33:20your shoes,

00:33:20they're the exact

00:33:21same as Jolene's.

00:33:23Come on, Catherine,

00:33:24you actually showed up

00:33:25wearing fake shoes?

00:33:27That's bold.

00:33:30Still,

00:33:31it's embarrassing

00:33:32as hell.

00:33:38All eyes

00:33:39in that instant

00:33:40were pinned

00:33:41on my feet.

00:33:44I feel like

00:33:45being judged

00:33:45in a high society

00:33:46party.

00:33:48The murmur

00:33:48in the room

00:33:49quickly grows

00:33:50into a loud buzz.

00:33:52Most of them

00:33:53were convinced

00:33:54the shoes

00:33:54on my feet

00:33:55were fake.

00:33:57Hey, Catherine,

00:33:58if you like

00:33:58those shoes,

00:33:59I don't mind

00:34:00lending you mine.

00:34:01Wearing fakes

00:34:02is bad.

00:34:03Thanks,

00:34:04but I'm

00:34:05pretty selective.

00:34:06I don't wear

00:34:07other people's shoes.

00:34:08Besides,

00:34:09we still don't

00:34:10actually know

00:34:11who's rocking

00:34:12the fakes,

00:34:12do we?

00:34:14I slowed

00:34:15my movements

00:34:16deliberately,

00:34:17lifted my foot,

00:34:18and aimed

00:34:18the heel

00:34:19straight at the crowd.

00:34:20Is that

00:34:21real?

00:34:22Of course.

00:34:23Here's what I know.

00:34:24Every pair

00:34:25designed by

00:34:26Future's lead designer

00:34:27Alan Lewis

00:34:28comes with

00:34:29a unique

00:34:30serial number

00:34:31and the designer's

00:34:33initials.

00:34:33AL

00:34:34engraved

00:34:35on the inside heel.

00:34:36It can't be,

00:34:37but it is.

00:34:41Jolene,

00:34:42why don't you

00:34:43have a look

00:34:43inside your own

00:34:44heel?

00:34:45I'm not scared!

00:34:46She raises her foot

00:34:47and turns the inside

00:34:48of the heel

00:34:48toward everyone.

00:34:49It's empty.

00:34:54Impossible!

00:34:55My shoes are real!

00:34:57The marks are just

00:34:58worn down from use!

00:34:59You can barely

00:35:00see it now!

00:35:01Oh, really?

00:35:03Future's

00:35:03anti-counterfeit system

00:35:04is one of the most

00:35:05advanced in the world.

00:35:07Unless the shoes

00:35:07are completely wrecked.

00:35:09The serial number

00:35:10doesn't just disappear.

00:35:12Want to check right now?

00:35:13No!

00:35:13That won't be necessary!

00:35:14I must have

00:35:15just made a mistake!

00:35:17You wanted to

00:35:18embarrass me

00:35:19in front of everyone?

00:35:20Jolene,

00:35:21you seem to forget.

00:35:23What I do best

00:35:24is tear apart

00:35:24cheap facades

00:35:25like yours.

00:35:26After school,

00:35:27Jolene storms out

00:35:28of campus,

00:35:29fuming.

00:35:30Austin is there

00:35:31to pick her up.

00:35:37Jolene,

00:35:37what's going on?

00:35:38Did someone

00:35:39mess with you?

00:35:40Austin!

00:35:41Those limited edition

00:35:42shoes you got for me?

00:35:45Catherine showed up

00:35:46wearing the exact

00:35:47same pair

00:35:47and accused mine

00:35:48of being fake.

00:35:51Showtime.

00:35:57Catherine,

00:35:58wait!

00:36:04What gives you

00:36:05the right to accuse

00:36:05Jolene's shoes

00:36:06of be fake?

00:36:11Just take the shoes

00:36:12to the store

00:36:13for verification.

00:36:14Verify them?

00:36:15Who do you think

00:36:16you are?

00:36:25Lucky for me,

00:36:27Future's Black Gold

00:36:28members get

00:36:28priority verification.

00:36:31The Future Black

00:36:32card?

00:36:33How the hell

00:36:33does she have that?

00:36:35Austin,

00:36:35let's just get

00:36:36this over with!

00:36:43No,

00:36:43forget it.

00:36:44This isn't worth

00:36:44the headache.

00:36:45Let's just go home.

00:37:01What's going on here?

00:37:04Liam gets out

00:37:05of the car,

00:37:06moving with authority.

00:37:11They look at him

00:37:12nervously,

00:37:13like rats

00:37:14looking at a cat.

00:37:16Mr. Warren.

00:37:18Is everything

00:37:18alright?

00:37:20Mr. Warren,

00:37:21it's nothing serious.

00:37:23Catherine just

00:37:24insisted my shoes

00:37:25weren't real.

00:37:30Do you need

00:37:31any help?

00:37:31No,

00:37:32it's fine.

00:37:33Nothing to worry

00:37:33about.

00:37:35Mr. Warren,

00:37:36this is a private

00:37:37family matter.

00:37:39Family matter?

00:37:40If Catherine's

00:37:41involved,

00:37:42it's my business

00:37:43too.

00:37:47let's go.

00:37:48Dinner's waiting.

00:37:56Your turn is over.

00:37:58Fake shoes

00:37:59always end up

00:37:59rubbing the heel

00:38:00raw.

00:38:01You might want

00:38:02to change yours.

00:38:12I feel a quiet thrill

00:38:13of satisfaction.

00:38:14You thought you could

00:38:15humiliate me with fake shoes?

00:38:17Look how that backfired.

00:38:20Back in the Brown family,

00:38:21I always had to bite my tongue

00:38:23and step aside.

00:38:25Now,

00:38:26with Liam backing me up,

00:38:29I have nothing

00:38:30to fear.

00:38:40The next afternoon,

00:38:42I wheel a small suitcase

00:38:43to my new home,

00:38:45Sterling Haven.

00:38:46Just as I step out

00:38:47of the car,

00:38:48Catherine?

00:38:49a familiar voice

00:38:50calls out behind me.

00:38:53I turn and see

00:38:54Declan and Jolene

00:38:55standing not far away.

00:38:58What's going on here?

00:38:59Why are you at this place?

00:39:01Catherine,

00:39:02why are you

00:39:03hauling a suitcase here?

00:39:04Are you sure you

00:39:05haven't gotten

00:39:06the wrong place?

00:39:07This is Sterling Haven.

00:39:09If you don't want

00:39:09the security guards

00:39:10kicking you out,

00:39:11you better leave.

00:39:12I live here.

00:39:14So yeah,

00:39:14I'm pretty sure

00:39:15I know my own address.

00:39:16Your home?

00:39:17Wait,

00:39:18are you working here?

00:39:19Like,

00:39:20on the staff?

00:39:20I can't help

00:39:21but laugh.

00:39:22Jolene,

00:39:23your imagination

00:39:24is wild.

00:39:25So tell me,

00:39:26what about you two?

00:39:27Are you here

00:39:28to apply for janitor

00:39:29or security jobs?

00:39:30Declan and I

00:39:31are here,

00:39:32looking for a place

00:39:33to settle down.

00:39:34Our wedding apartment,

00:39:35actually.

00:39:37I calmly reach

00:39:38into my bag

00:39:39and pull out

00:39:40an access card,

00:39:43tapping it

00:39:44against the reader.

00:39:47A beep

00:39:48confirms access.

00:39:52Declan and Jolene

00:39:53freeze in shock.

00:39:57Just moved

00:39:58into Sterling Haven

00:39:59and the silence

00:40:00of the night

00:40:01was shattered.

00:40:04There's a race

00:40:05tomorrow evening.

00:40:06The prize is huge.

00:40:07Feeling the itch?

00:40:09Who's racing?

00:40:11The same arrogant

00:40:12group of wealthy

00:40:13young men.

00:40:14They've been throwing

00:40:15challenges at Evora.

00:40:17Oh,

00:40:19and the Brown family

00:40:20will be there too.

00:40:21What's the prize?

00:40:23A million dollars

00:40:25plus a limited edition

00:40:26sports car.

00:40:27Send me the details.

00:40:31Since they're throwing

00:40:32themselves at me,

00:40:33I see no reason

00:40:33to refuse.

00:40:37four in the afternoon,

00:40:39I drive towards

00:40:40the racetrack

00:40:41in the suburb.

00:40:56I sign that name.

00:40:58The one they both

00:40:59dread and go mad over.

00:41:05Oh,

00:41:06it's Evora!

00:41:07Our idol

00:41:07Evora

00:41:08has arrived!

00:41:11Evora?

00:41:12It's probably

00:41:13just someone

00:41:13pretending.

00:41:19She wouldn't show up

00:41:20for a small race

00:41:20like this.

00:41:29Just then,

00:41:30that flashy blue

00:41:31GT-R

00:41:32pulled up

00:41:32right in front of me.

00:41:36Catherine?

00:41:38What are you doing here?

00:41:40This isn't a playground

00:41:41for careless drivers.

00:41:45If trash like you

00:41:46is allowed here,

00:41:47why shouldn't I be?

00:41:53Explain yourself.

00:41:57As if I'm going to.

00:42:01As expected,

00:42:03he got angry

00:42:03out of embarrassment,

00:42:05resorting to such

00:42:05underhanded,

00:42:06pathetic tactics.

00:42:08But he can't touch me.

00:42:10Laying hands

00:42:11on someone in public?

00:42:12That's a bad look.

00:42:13Let go!

00:42:14Don't you know

00:42:14who I am?

00:42:19Whoever you are,

00:42:20if you touch

00:42:21Catherine again.

00:42:23You'll regret it.

00:42:27We'll settle this

00:42:28on the race course.

00:42:29Hopefully you don't

00:42:30crash out

00:42:31in the first round.

00:42:33The signal light

00:42:34blinks on

00:42:35and the five engines

00:42:36roar to life.

00:42:37The green light

00:42:38flashes

00:42:38and Jackson's

00:42:39GT-R

00:42:39shoots forward.

00:42:41At the first corner,

00:42:42I execute a drift

00:42:43unlike anything

00:42:44he's ever seen

00:42:45and pull ahead.

00:42:45The next stretch

00:42:46of the track

00:42:47turns into a full-on

00:42:48display of my skill.

00:42:55I flow through

00:42:56every bed

00:42:56as if I designed

00:42:57them myself.

00:43:00It's Yvera!

00:43:01She's really

00:43:02the legendary

00:43:03Yvera!

00:43:10My gray car

00:43:11shoots through

00:43:12the final stretch

00:43:13and crosses

00:43:14the finish line

00:43:15first.

00:43:27I push open

00:43:29the door

00:43:29and pull off

00:43:30my helmet,

00:43:30my ponytail

00:43:31swinging in the breeze.

00:43:35my face

00:43:36stays calm

00:43:37showing no

00:43:38excitement.

00:43:48You...

00:43:49you're really

00:43:50Evora?

00:43:54Tell me

00:43:55who's the idiot

00:43:57now?

00:43:59So you were

00:44:00tricking us

00:44:01this whole time?

00:44:02On the day

00:44:03I returned,

00:44:03I told all of you

00:44:05I liked racing.

00:44:06But not a single

00:44:07one of you

00:44:08ever bothered

00:44:08to listen.

00:44:11I step around

00:44:12Jackson and walk

00:44:13off without

00:44:14looking back.

00:44:19I never wanted

00:44:20to flaunt

00:44:20being Yvera.

00:44:22But since you

00:44:23kept pushing,

00:44:24now you get

00:44:25to see who

00:44:25the real

00:44:25Catherine Brown

00:44:26really is.

00:44:50he drops the video

00:44:52into the group

00:44:52chat and tags

00:44:53Liam directly.

00:44:58Liam,

00:44:59you have to

00:44:59see this.

00:45:00I swear

00:45:01it'll knock

00:45:01you sideways.

00:45:02Please,

00:45:03nothing on

00:45:03earth surprises

00:45:04Liam.

00:45:05What nonsense

00:45:06are you

00:45:07stirring up

00:45:07now?

00:45:14Liam opens

00:45:15the video,

00:45:16sees me

00:45:16stepping out

00:45:17of the gray

00:45:17car,

00:45:18and a flicker

00:45:19of real shock

00:45:20crosses eyes.

00:45:22It's her.

00:45:27Okay,

00:45:28I'm genuinely

00:45:28blown away.

00:45:29Liam,

00:45:30what kind

00:45:30of divine

00:45:31helper do you

00:45:31have in your

00:45:32life?

00:45:32This woman

00:45:33is pure

00:45:33magic.

00:45:34Told you.

00:45:35I knew even

00:45:36Liam couldn't

00:45:36stay calm

00:45:37after this.

00:45:54Catherine,

00:45:55just how much

00:45:56are you still

00:45:56hiding?

00:46:02The next

00:46:02day,

00:46:03I walk

00:46:04into the

00:46:04classroom.

00:46:06Catherine,

00:46:07I got you

00:46:08your favorite

00:46:08coffee.

00:46:09I smile

00:46:10and pull

00:46:10out a

00:46:10delicate

00:46:11porcelain

00:46:11bottle

00:46:12from my

00:46:12bag.

00:46:14Apply this

00:46:14ointment

00:46:15to the

00:46:15spot before

00:46:16bed.

00:46:17You should

00:46:18see results

00:46:18in about

00:46:19a month.

00:46:19Thank you

00:46:20so much,

00:46:20Catherine.

00:46:21Do you

00:46:22really think

00:46:22it will

00:46:22work?

00:46:23A mocking

00:46:23laugh cuts

00:46:24through the

00:46:24air.

00:46:25Consistency

00:46:26is the

00:46:26key.

00:46:27I'm

00:46:27confident

00:46:28it'll

00:46:28heal.

00:46:32Seriously?

00:46:33You actually

00:46:34think a

00:46:34homemade

00:46:34cream will

00:46:35magically

00:46:35make you

00:46:36beautiful?

00:46:36My eyes

00:46:37darken as

00:46:38I fix

00:46:38Paige with

00:46:38a piercing

00:46:39stare.

00:46:41Apologize.

00:46:42Why should

00:46:43I apologize?

00:46:44I'm just

00:46:45speaking the

00:46:45truth.

00:46:46Catherine,

00:46:47Paige can

00:46:48be a bit

00:46:48blunt.

00:46:49She didn't

00:46:50mean to

00:46:50be hurtful.

00:46:52Paige was

00:46:53only trying

00:46:53to warn

00:46:53you.

00:46:54The

00:46:54ointments

00:46:55you're

00:46:55handing

00:46:55out

00:46:55aren't

00:46:56officially

00:46:56approved.

00:46:57If

00:46:58Claudian's

00:46:58condition

00:46:59gets

00:46:59worse,

00:47:00that could

00:47:01cause a

00:47:01big

00:47:01problem.

00:47:02It's

00:47:02to

00:47:03heal,

00:47:03not

00:47:03harm.

00:47:04Why

00:47:05do you

00:47:05jump

00:47:05to

00:47:05conclusions

00:47:06without

00:47:06a

00:47:06shred

00:47:07of

00:47:07proof?

00:47:12Tell

00:47:12me,

00:47:13have

00:47:13actually

00:47:14tested

00:47:23Jolene

00:47:23Brown,

00:47:24my

00:47:24medical

00:47:25skills

00:47:25aren't

00:47:25something

00:47:25outers

00:47:26to

00:47:26question.

00:47:32Catherine,

00:47:32I believe

00:47:33in you.

00:47:34Just as

00:47:35the school

00:47:35day wraps

00:47:35up,

00:47:36rain suddenly

00:47:36begins pouring

00:47:37down in

00:47:38heavy sheets.

00:47:38I had

00:47:39anticipated

00:47:39this,

00:47:40so an

00:47:40umbrella is

00:47:41tucked safely

00:47:42in my

00:47:42bag.

00:47:43Pulling

00:47:43it out,

00:47:44I open

00:47:44it and

00:47:44step out

00:47:45into the

00:47:45downpour.

00:47:47Catherine,

00:47:48wait!

00:47:48Can I share

00:47:49your umbrella

00:47:49with you?

00:47:50No.

00:47:52I turn

00:47:53around and

00:47:53see

00:47:53Jolene

00:47:54huddled

00:47:54beneath

00:47:54my

00:47:55umbrella.

00:47:56Without

00:47:57another

00:47:57word,

00:47:58I turn

00:47:59and walk

00:47:59away.

00:48:00Before

00:48:00long,

00:48:01the rain

00:48:01soaks

00:48:02her to

00:48:02the

00:48:02bone.

00:48:05Catherine,

00:48:06it's pouring

00:48:07out here.

00:48:07I just

00:48:08wanted to

00:48:09walk with

00:48:09you for

00:48:09a bit.

00:48:10Jolene

00:48:11is left

00:48:11standing

00:48:12there,

00:48:12stunned.

00:48:16I

00:48:16already

00:48:17said no.

00:48:17My

00:48:18umbrella's

00:48:18too small

00:48:19for two.

00:48:20And

00:48:21honestly,

00:48:21I'm not

00:48:22comfortable

00:48:22being that

00:48:22close to

00:48:23anyone.

00:48:24Jolene

00:48:25is furious.

00:48:26A sleek

00:48:26black car

00:48:27rolls to

00:48:27a slow

00:48:28stop at

00:48:28the gate.

00:48:29Austin's.

00:48:34Austin!

00:48:36Jolene?

00:48:37How did

00:48:38you get

00:48:38this soaked?

00:48:39Didn't

00:48:39you bring

00:48:39an umbrella?

00:48:40You'll

00:48:40catch a

00:48:40cold like

00:48:41this.

00:48:41He

00:48:42glances

00:48:42out the

00:48:43window

00:48:43just in

00:48:43time to

00:48:44see me

00:48:44walking

00:48:44past

00:48:45holding

00:48:45my

00:48:46umbrella.

00:48:47Catherine,

00:48:48you had

00:48:48an

00:48:57umbrella and

00:48:58Do you

00:48:58really think

00:48:58we're close

00:48:59enough for

00:48:59that?

00:49:02Catherine,

00:49:03Jolene is

00:49:03family.

00:49:04Look at

00:49:04her.

00:49:05She's

00:49:05drenched.

00:49:06You had

00:49:06an umbrella

00:49:07and didn't

00:49:07even think

00:49:08to help

00:49:08her?

00:49:11Do you

00:49:12have any

00:49:12idea how

00:49:13cruel that

00:49:13looks?

00:49:14Exactly!

00:49:15Jolene's

00:49:15soaked because

00:49:16Catherine

00:49:16abandoned

00:49:17her.

00:49:17She

00:49:17went

00:49:17way

00:49:17too

00:49:18far.

00:49:19Before

00:49:19I

00:49:20speak,

00:49:20a nearby

00:49:21student

00:49:21steps in.

00:49:22Please,

00:49:23I saw

00:49:23Jolene give

00:49:23her umbrella

00:49:24to someone

00:49:24else just

00:49:24to look

00:49:25noble and

00:49:25then she

00:49:26tried to

00:49:26free float

00:49:26it off

00:49:27Catherine.

00:49:27Catherine

00:49:28didn't want

00:49:28to share,

00:49:28so what?

00:49:29Stop trying

00:49:30to guilt

00:49:30trip her.

00:49:32So what?

00:49:33The rain

00:49:33was pouring.

00:49:35Sharing

00:49:35wouldn't

00:49:35kill her.

00:49:36Catherine's.

00:49:37Catherine's

00:49:37just being

00:49:38selfish.

00:49:38Paige,

00:49:39please,

00:49:39you don't

00:49:39even know

00:49:40what happened.

00:49:40Jolene gave

00:49:41her umbrella

00:49:41away just

00:49:42to look

00:49:42generous.

00:49:43Austin,

00:49:43that's not

00:49:44what happened.

00:49:45I only

00:49:46wanted to

00:49:46get closer

00:49:46to her.

00:49:48I didn't

00:49:48realize she

00:49:49disliked me

00:49:50so much.

00:49:50Keep your

00:49:51little performances

00:49:52away from

00:49:52me.

00:49:53Don't

00:49:53test me.

00:50:06In the

00:50:07classroom,

00:50:08I sit

00:50:08quietly at

00:50:08my desk,

00:50:09flipping through

00:50:10my notes.

00:50:10Catherine,

00:50:11I heard

00:50:11Jolene's

00:50:12really sick

00:50:12today.

00:50:13She didn't

00:50:13come to

00:50:13class.

00:50:14Rain and

00:50:14cold,

00:50:15it's pretty

00:50:15normal to

00:50:15feel under

00:50:16the weather

00:50:16afterward.

00:50:17A loud

00:50:17commotion

00:50:18erupts at

00:50:18the classroom

00:50:19entrance.

00:50:20Feel

00:50:21satisfied

00:50:21now,

00:50:21Catherine?

00:50:22Jolene's

00:50:23in the

00:50:23hospital with

00:50:23a high

00:50:24fever,

00:50:24all because

00:50:25you wouldn't

00:50:25share your

00:50:25stupid umbrella.

00:50:26I calmly

00:50:27shut my

00:50:28notebook and

00:50:28rise to

00:50:29my feet.

00:50:30A chilly,

00:50:31razor-thin

00:50:32smile forms

00:50:32on my lips.

00:50:34She's sick,

00:50:34and that's

00:50:35supposed to

00:50:36be my

00:50:36responsibility?

00:50:37Is this

00:50:38seriously your

00:50:38reaction?

00:50:39Jolene's

00:50:39hospitalized,

00:50:40and you're

00:50:41standing here

00:50:41tossing out

00:50:41sarcastic

00:50:42comments?

00:50:43And what

00:50:43exactly does

00:50:43her hospital

00:50:44stale have

00:50:44to do with

00:50:45me?

00:50:45Did I make

00:50:46her give

00:50:46away her

00:50:46umbrella?

00:50:47Or did I

00:50:48physically send

00:50:48her into

00:50:49the storm?

00:50:50You!

00:50:51And honestly,

00:50:52if she were

00:50:52sick enough to

00:50:53be hospitalized,

00:50:54would she

00:50:54really have the

00:50:55energy to

00:50:55publicize it

00:50:56to the entire

00:50:56school?

00:50:57I asked her

00:50:59personally.

00:51:00Great.

00:51:00Tell me which

00:51:01hospital she's at.

00:51:02I'll arrange for

00:51:03top-clear specialists

00:51:04to check on her.

00:51:06I begin dialing,

00:51:07and Paige

00:51:08immediately panics.

00:51:10No!

00:51:10You don't have to

00:51:11do that!

00:51:12Jolene said she

00:51:12only needs rest!

00:51:16How did you

00:51:17figure out

00:51:17she was

00:51:17making it?

00:51:19I've watched

00:51:20her pull the

00:51:20same act

00:51:21more times

00:51:21than I can

00:51:22count.

00:51:23On the

00:51:24weekend,

00:51:25Claudian asks

00:51:26me to go

00:51:26shopping with

00:51:27her.

00:51:28We pause

00:51:29in front of

00:51:30dessert shop,

00:51:31across from

00:51:32a famous

00:51:33brand boutique.

00:51:34Jolene is

00:51:34there, too.

00:51:38Oh,

00:51:39look who it

00:51:39is,

00:51:39Catherine!

00:51:40Fancy seeing

00:51:41you here!

00:51:42Shopping, too,

00:51:43huh?

00:51:43What's the

00:51:44matter?

00:51:45Didn't expect

00:51:45to see you

00:51:46in a place

00:51:46like this?

00:51:47This isn't

00:51:47some place

00:51:48for just

00:51:48anyone.

00:51:49Bet that

00:51:50ice cream

00:51:50cost you

00:51:51half a day's

00:51:51wages?

00:51:52Jolene steps

00:51:53forward and

00:51:54accidentally

00:51:55splashes her

00:51:55coffee onto

00:51:56my white dress.

00:51:58Oh, no,

00:51:59Catherine!

00:52:00I'm so sorry!

00:52:01I tripped!

00:52:01I didn't mean

00:52:02to!

00:52:03I look down

00:52:04at the stains

00:52:05on my dress,

00:52:06my eyes

00:52:07turning cold.

00:52:11Do you

00:52:11even know

00:52:12how much

00:52:12this dress

00:52:13costs?

00:52:13It's just

00:52:14a dress.

00:52:14I can buy

00:52:15you a new

00:52:16one.

00:52:18She pulls

00:52:19$200 and

00:52:21tosses them

00:52:21at me.

00:52:23Use this

00:52:24to get

00:52:24yourself a

00:52:25new one.

00:52:25I look

00:52:26at the

00:52:26ice cream

00:52:27in my

00:52:27hand

00:52:32and press

00:52:33it onto

00:52:34Jolene's

00:52:34face.

00:52:36Oops!

00:52:37Sorry!

00:52:38My hand

00:52:39just slipped.

00:52:39It's just

00:52:40a little

00:52:40mess.

00:52:41A quick

00:52:42wipe

00:52:42and you'll

00:52:43be fine.

00:52:43Jolene

00:52:44screams.

00:52:46Catherine

00:52:47What on

00:52:48earth are

00:52:49you doing?

00:52:49Are you

00:52:50crazy?

00:52:51Anne

00:52:51steps out

00:52:51of the

00:52:52fitting room

00:52:52and gasps

00:52:53at Jolene's

00:52:54appearance.

00:53:00Jolene!

00:53:01What on

00:53:01earth

00:53:02happened

00:53:02to you?

00:53:03Mom,

00:53:04it's all

00:53:05my fault.

00:53:05I

00:53:06accidentally

00:53:07spilled

00:53:07coffee on

00:53:08Catherine's

00:53:08dress.

00:53:09I've

00:53:10already

00:53:10paid her

00:53:11back,

00:53:11but she's

00:53:12acting like

00:53:12it's not

00:53:13enough.

00:53:18Catherine,

00:53:19why are you

00:53:20picking on

00:53:21Jolene again?

00:53:24Anne pulls a

00:53:25thick wad of

00:53:25cash from her

00:53:26purse.

00:53:28Catherine,

00:53:29don't push this

00:53:30further.

00:53:30If it's money

00:53:31you want,

00:53:32apologize to

00:53:33Jolene.

00:53:34Not nearly

00:53:34enough.

00:53:36Yes,

00:53:37this is our

00:53:38anniversary edition.

00:53:39It retails for

00:53:40$180,000 and

00:53:42is completely

00:53:42sold out.

00:53:43Either pay me

00:53:44three times its

00:53:45value,

00:53:46or I'll report

00:53:47this as

00:53:48intentional property

00:53:49damage to the

00:53:50police.

00:53:51Who said we

00:53:52wouldn't compensate?

00:53:53She reluctantly

00:53:54writes a check.

00:53:56Take it.

00:53:57This is like

00:53:58burning money.

00:54:00Next time,

00:54:01I won't bother

00:54:01negotiating.

00:54:02I'll go straight

00:54:03to the police.

00:54:04I feel a deep

00:54:05satisfying pleasure.

00:54:07$540,000.

00:54:08That's going to

00:54:08sting for a while.

00:54:10Back in the

00:54:10Brown family,

00:54:11I let you walk

00:54:12all over me.

00:54:13I swallowed

00:54:14every insult.

00:54:15Not anymore.

00:54:16From now on,

00:54:17every single

00:54:18debt gets paid

00:54:19back with interest.

00:54:21After the meal,

00:54:21I wave goodbye

00:54:22to Claudian at

00:54:23the restaurant's

00:54:24entrance.

00:54:29I've only

00:54:30walked a short

00:54:30distance when a

00:54:31terrified scream

00:54:32cuts through

00:54:33the air.

00:54:35Someone help!

00:54:37Is there a doctor

00:54:38here?

00:54:38I turn towards

00:54:39the commotion

00:54:39and see a

00:54:40well-dressed woman

00:54:41kneeling beside

00:54:42an elderly woman

00:54:43who has collapsed.

00:54:44I push through

00:54:45the crowd and

00:54:46kneel down

00:54:47to examine her.

00:54:52Ma'am,

00:54:52don't panic.

00:54:53Does she have

00:54:54a history of

00:54:55heart disease?

00:54:55Yes.

00:54:57She has

00:54:58coronary heart

00:54:58disease.

00:55:01I reach

00:55:02into my bag

00:55:03and pull out

00:55:03a small bottle

00:55:04of nitroglycerin

00:55:05pills.

00:55:06I slide a

00:55:07tablet under

00:55:08her tongue

00:55:08and begin

00:55:09CPR.

00:55:22after several

00:55:23long minutes

00:55:24the elderly woman

00:55:25lets out

00:55:26a faint

00:55:26groan.

00:55:28Paramedics

00:55:29arrive and

00:55:30take over.

00:55:32very professional.

00:55:34You've brought

00:55:34us precious

00:55:35time.

00:55:36Which hospital

00:55:37do you work

00:55:38at?

00:55:38I have to

00:55:39thank you

00:55:39properly.

00:55:44I'm still

00:55:45a student.

00:55:46Helping people

00:55:47is just

00:55:47something I

00:55:47have to do.

00:55:54I quietly

00:55:55gather my

00:55:56things and

00:55:56slip away

00:55:57while the

00:55:57crowd watches

00:55:58with admiration.

00:55:59The next

00:56:00morning I

00:56:01intentionally

00:56:01leave home

00:56:02early but

00:56:03the Browns

00:56:03are already

00:56:04lying in

00:56:05wait at

00:56:05the school

00:56:05entrance.

00:56:08Catherine!

00:56:11Jolene

00:56:11plunges to

00:56:12hug me but

00:56:12I smoothly

00:56:13dodge her.

00:56:15Catherine,

00:56:16come home

00:56:16with me.

00:56:17Your

00:56:18grandmother's

00:56:18back and

00:56:19wants to

00:56:19see you.

00:56:23Sorry but

00:56:24I don't

00:56:24really know

00:56:25you people.

00:56:26We don't

00:56:26have time

00:56:27for your

00:56:27nonsense.

00:56:28You're

00:56:28coming home

00:56:28with us

00:56:29today.

00:56:32Since it's

00:56:33the busiest

00:56:33time for

00:56:34students arriving

00:56:35a bunch of

00:56:36curious students

00:56:37have already

00:56:37stopped to

00:56:38watch.

00:56:41A sleek

00:56:42black Bentley

00:56:42eases to a

00:56:43stop right

00:56:44beside us.

00:56:45The window

00:56:46lowers smoothly

00:56:47and Liam's

00:56:48sharply

00:56:48contoured face

00:56:49comes into

00:56:49view.

00:56:53Catherine,

00:56:53get in the

00:56:54car.

00:56:59I've got

00:57:00class in a

00:57:00few minutes.

00:57:01What brings

00:57:01you here so

00:57:02early?

00:57:05They didn't

00:57:05bother you,

00:57:06did they?

00:57:06No.

00:57:07They're

00:57:08irrelevant.

00:57:08I'm heading

00:57:09in.

00:57:12And without

00:57:13waiting for his

00:57:14response, I

00:57:15simply turn and

00:57:16leave.

00:57:19the browns erupt

00:57:20the moment I

00:57:21brush past them

00:57:22like they're

00:57:22strangers on

00:57:23the street.

00:57:24Are we

00:57:24seriously letting

00:57:25that girl walk

00:57:26all over us?

00:57:28She might

00:57:29ignore us,

00:57:29but someone else

00:57:30can get through

00:57:31to her.

00:57:32She won't dare

00:57:32skip her

00:57:33grandmother's

00:57:33birthday banquet.

00:57:37She'll show

00:57:38up for that.

00:57:39After my

00:57:39classes wrap

00:57:40up, I head

00:57:41home, ready

00:57:41to relax, until

00:57:42my phone starts

00:57:43buzzing in my

00:57:44pocket.

00:57:48Catherine, I'm

00:57:49sending you an

00:57:49address.

00:57:50Come eat with

00:57:50us.

00:57:51They've got all

00:57:51your favorites,

00:57:52and there's a

00:57:53surprise for you

00:57:53too.

00:57:54I hop into a

00:57:55cab, take the

00:57:56elevator up, and

00:57:58text Jared.

00:58:01Which room are

00:58:01you guys in?

00:58:03The elevator

00:58:04doors slide

00:58:05open, and I

00:58:06walk out, my

00:58:07eyes glued to

00:58:08my phone.

00:58:10Before I can

00:58:11take two steps, a

00:58:12hand suddenly pulls

00:58:13me aside.

00:58:14So this is who

00:58:15you really are?

00:58:16Waiting all this

00:58:17time just to pull

00:58:18this?

00:58:18You followed me

00:58:19here?

00:58:20Declan, of

00:58:21course.

00:58:22What?

00:58:23Touched a nerve?

00:58:24You show up where

00:58:25I hang out hoping

00:58:26I'll notice you

00:58:27again?

00:58:28Catherine, you

00:58:29really haven't

00:58:30changed.

00:58:31Still using the

00:58:32same deck.

00:58:32desperate tricks.

00:58:33Isn't she that

00:58:33brown family

00:58:34daughter?

00:58:34The one they

00:58:34recently reclaimed?

00:58:35Yep.

00:58:36Looks like she's

00:58:37still running

00:58:37after Declan

00:58:37like always.

00:58:38Declan, drop

00:58:39the ego.

00:58:39I'm here for

00:58:40someone else.

00:58:40You don't even

00:58:41make the top

00:58:41hundred.

00:58:42Stop acting

00:58:42like the world

00:58:43revolves around

00:58:43you.

00:58:45Aha, so I

00:58:46got to you.

00:58:47That's why

00:58:48you're biting

00:58:48back?

00:58:49Do me a favor

00:58:50and stay away.

00:58:51I don't want

00:58:52anyone assuming

00:58:52we have history.

00:58:56I stride

00:58:56toward the highest

00:58:57tier private

00:58:58suite without

00:58:58looking back.

00:59:07whoa, what

00:59:09happened to

00:59:09you?

00:59:13I'm fine.

00:59:23Catherine, wait

00:59:24till you see

00:59:25this.

00:59:35Hold on.

00:59:36Is that...

00:59:37Yep, the one

00:59:39from the

00:59:39Veritas auction

00:59:40last month.

00:59:41You kept

00:59:41staring at it,

00:59:42so I figured

00:59:43I'd just buy

00:59:44the damn

00:59:44thing for you.

00:59:45Thanks,

00:59:46Gerald.

00:59:46Hey, don't

00:59:48go formal

00:59:48on me.

00:59:49Something like

00:59:50this deserves

00:59:51an owner

00:59:51who actually

00:59:52gets it.

01:00:19Catherine, I heard

01:00:20you moved out.

01:00:21Did something

01:00:22happen?

01:00:22Did the Browns

01:00:23push you too

01:00:24far again?

01:00:24I'm fine,

01:00:25Auntie.

01:00:26I left on

01:00:27my own terms.

01:00:28Your grandmother

01:00:29returned.

01:00:30You heard?

01:00:32Her birthday

01:00:33banquet is next

01:00:34week.

01:00:34She actually

01:00:35called me earlier

01:00:36and told me

01:00:37to ask you

01:00:37to come.

01:00:38Auntie,

01:00:39I'm no longer

01:00:40part of the

01:00:41Brown family.

01:00:42Catherine,

01:00:43please.

01:00:44She's getting

01:00:45older.

01:00:46Just give her

01:00:46this one

01:00:47courtesy.

01:00:48All right.

01:00:49I'll show

01:00:50up on time.

01:00:51I exhale

01:00:52slowly.

01:00:52So this is

01:00:53happening.

01:00:54No dodging

01:00:54it now.

01:00:55My eyes move

01:00:56back to the

01:00:56gemstone in its

01:00:57wooden box.

01:00:58It would make a

01:00:58clean, elegant

01:00:59birthday gift.

01:01:01The night of

01:01:02Amelia's birthday

01:01:03banquet has

01:01:04come.

01:01:04The Brown

01:01:05estate glows

01:01:06with extravagant

01:01:06decorations.

01:01:10I stroll in

01:01:11wearing simple,

01:01:13casual clothes.

01:01:14Jolene drifts

01:01:15graciously through

01:01:16the guests in a

01:01:16blush pink

01:01:17couture gown.

01:01:19Low whispers

01:01:20swirl around the

01:01:21gathered guests

01:01:21about how shabby

01:01:22I look.

01:01:24Lawrence's and

01:01:24Anna's expressions

01:01:25grow cold and

01:01:26tense.

01:01:27Isn't that the

01:01:28one who broke

01:01:28ties with the

01:01:29Browns and she

01:01:30just shows up to

01:01:31grandma's birthday

01:01:32like that?

01:01:35Wild or not,

01:01:36she's stunning.

01:01:39Those sharp

01:01:39features and that

01:01:40presence can't be

01:01:41ignored.

01:01:42Jolene steps

01:01:43forward, her

01:01:44smile dazzling and

01:01:45perfectly practiced.

01:01:47Grandma, happy

01:01:48birthday.

01:01:49I know how much

01:01:50you adore gemstones,

01:01:51so I asked the

01:01:52auction house to find

01:01:53something really

01:01:54special for you.

01:01:55A rare warm gem.

01:02:01And you,

01:02:02Catherine?

01:02:03What did you

01:02:04bring?

01:02:04I reach into my

01:02:06black bag and

01:02:06pull out a small

01:02:07wooden box.

01:02:10As I open the

01:02:11lid, the room

01:02:12falls deathly

01:02:13silent.

01:02:14Nestled inside is

01:02:15another gemstone.

01:02:19To give grandma

01:02:20a fake?

01:02:21That's just

01:02:22disrespectful.

01:02:24Catherine?

01:02:24Fake?

01:02:25Catherine, don't

01:02:27you realize how

01:02:28humiliating this is

01:02:29for our family?

01:02:31Amid the crowd's

01:02:33murmurs and

01:02:33accusations, I

01:02:34stay composed.

01:02:41You say mine's a fake?

01:02:43On what proof?

01:02:45Maybe yours is the

01:02:46counterfeit.

01:02:47Isn't it obvious?

01:02:48This gem is

01:02:50incredibly rare.

01:02:52There can't be two

01:02:53exactly the same.

01:02:57Mine's been

01:02:57authenticated by

01:02:58several experts.

01:03:00It's the real deal.

01:03:01A knowing smile

01:03:03curves my lips

01:03:04as I bring my gem

01:03:05up and lightly

01:03:06press it against

01:03:07Analia's wrist.

01:03:09This is it!

01:03:11They say a genuine

01:03:12warm gem changes

01:03:13color depending on

01:03:14its wearer's vitality.

01:03:15It's a unique,

01:03:16almost magical

01:03:17trait.

01:03:19Why don't we test

01:03:20Jolene's gem

01:03:21the same way?

01:03:23She tried to pin

01:03:24it on Catherine

01:03:25when it was her

01:03:26own gift that was

01:03:26false.

01:03:27That's impossible!

01:03:28I paid 10 million

01:03:29for this at the

01:03:30luxurious auction

01:03:31house!

01:03:32I even have the

01:03:33receipt and

01:03:33certificate to prove

01:03:34it!

01:03:35Pulling out her

01:03:35phone, she quickly

01:03:36dials the number.

01:03:37What she hears

01:03:38makes her eyes

01:03:39widened in shock.

01:03:40Just then, someone

01:03:41glances at their

01:03:42phone and blurts out

01:03:43The luxurious auction

01:03:44house director got

01:03:45hooked on gambling!

01:03:48Jolene stumbles

01:03:49backward, dropping

01:03:50her phone with a

01:03:51loud clatter.

01:03:52Today is my

01:03:53birthday celebration.

01:03:55Let's put an end

01:03:55to this now.

01:03:57Jolene acted with

01:03:58good intentions but

01:03:59was misled.

01:04:00For the very first

01:04:01time, Anala looks

01:04:02at me without that

01:04:03usual air of

01:04:04disappointment.

01:04:07You know,

01:04:08Catherine, I

01:04:09actually like this.

01:04:15Jolene bites down

01:04:16hard on her lower

01:04:17lip, her nails

01:04:18digging into her

01:04:19palm.

01:04:20Justine approaches

01:04:21me.

01:04:24Catherine, I'm

01:04:25sorry about

01:04:25everything that

01:04:26went down

01:04:26earlier.

01:04:28I'm okay.

01:04:29You only stop

01:04:30feeling hurt when

01:04:31you stop expecting

01:04:32anything from

01:04:32anyone.

01:04:34It's okay.

01:04:35Not long after,

01:04:36friends call

01:04:37Justina away.

01:04:39A maid makes

01:04:40her way around,

01:04:41offering champagne.

01:04:42When she gets

01:04:43to me, I decline.

01:04:45The maid hurries

01:04:46away and comes

01:04:48back moments later,

01:04:49holding a glass of

01:04:50juice.

01:04:50I study the juice

01:04:52for a moment.

01:04:52I lift the glass and

01:04:54drink it down in one

01:04:55steady guilt.

01:04:56A few minutes pass

01:04:57before the same maid

01:04:58shows up again.

01:05:00I'm so, so sorry.

01:05:02I didn't mean for this

01:05:03to happen.

01:05:04She slips, and the

01:05:06entire drink splashes

01:05:07across my outfit.

01:05:10Catherine, I'm really

01:05:10sorry.

01:05:11The staff can be a bit

01:05:12careless.

01:05:13Why don't you slip

01:05:13into one of my

01:05:14dresses?

01:05:14I've got tons upstairs.

01:05:15You can use the

01:05:16guest room to change.

01:05:17Wow.

01:05:17The rules in this

01:05:18house are intriguing,

01:05:19to say the least.

01:05:20I hear every bit of

01:05:21the sarcasm.

01:05:22Sophia is practically

01:05:23mocking Jolene, who

01:05:25acts like she owns

01:05:25the place.

01:05:26The maid exhales,

01:05:27relieved beyond

01:05:28measure, and

01:05:29hurries forward.

01:05:30I start after her,

01:05:31but pause to throw

01:05:32Jolene one last

01:05:33look.

01:05:34The maid leads me

01:05:35far inside the

01:05:36mansion, to a

01:05:37guest room.

01:05:38As soon as she

01:05:39leaves, the door

01:05:40shuts quietly, and

01:05:41I hear the lock

01:05:42slide into place.

01:05:44I go over to

01:05:46check the window,

01:05:46but it's stuck

01:05:47tight, probably

01:05:48locked from the

01:05:49outside.

01:05:50A strange warmth

01:05:52begins spreading

01:05:52under my skin.

01:05:54I take a steady

01:05:55breath, pull a

01:05:56small ceramic file

01:05:57from my pocket, and

01:05:59swallow an antidote.

01:06:00I had drunk the

01:06:01tampered juice, simply

01:06:02because I wanted to

01:06:03see the full extent

01:06:05of Jolene's trap.

01:06:10A few moments

01:06:11later, I hear

01:06:12faint, uneven

01:06:13footsteps outside

01:06:14the door.

01:06:15I lay down on

01:06:16the bed, completely

01:06:17still and quiet.

01:06:20The door creaks

01:06:21open slowly.

01:06:25Getting impatient,

01:06:26huh?

01:06:27Don't worry,

01:06:28sweetheart.

01:06:29I'll take real

01:06:30good care of you.

01:06:31But suddenly, my

01:06:32eyes snap wide

01:06:33open.

01:06:36The scream

01:06:37tears from him.

01:06:39He crumples to

01:06:40the floor in an

01:06:41instant, folding

01:06:42over and wrigling

01:06:43on the carpet.

01:06:45I calmly step

01:06:47over him and shut

01:06:47the door behind me.

01:06:49I ease into the

01:06:50corner just outside,

01:06:51ready to watch.

01:06:52Not long after,

01:06:53Jolene appears,

01:06:55sneaking cautiously

01:06:56down the hall.

01:06:59She presses her

01:07:00ear against the

01:07:01door, then pulls

01:07:02it wide open.

01:07:12She barely has

01:07:13time to

01:07:13register it before

01:07:14the man lunges

01:07:15at her.

01:07:18Stay away!

01:07:20Get off me!

01:07:21Man, pretty

01:07:22girl.

01:07:23The other one

01:07:24took a heap, but

01:07:24you?

01:07:25You'll do just

01:07:26fine.

01:07:27Don't you dare

01:07:27touch me!

01:07:28I'm a brown.

01:07:29Touch me and

01:07:30you're dead.

01:07:33Oh, man, yeah?

01:07:36That just makes

01:07:36it way more

01:07:37interesting.

01:07:40Help!

01:07:41Help!

01:07:42Let me go!

01:07:45After closing the

01:07:46door behind me,

01:07:47I calmly make my

01:07:48way back to the

01:07:49banquet hall.

01:07:51Sophia, who had

01:07:51earlier stood by

01:07:52my side, approaches

01:07:53with a warm smile

01:07:54and extends her

01:07:55hand.

01:07:55I'm Sophia Flynn.

01:07:57How about we get

01:07:58better acquainted?

01:08:00Catherine Brown,

01:08:01it's a pleasure

01:08:01to meet you.

01:08:02About 15 minutes

01:08:03later, a sudden

01:08:04disturbance breaks

01:08:05out outside the

01:08:06banquet hall.

01:08:07The crowd moves

01:08:07towards the

01:08:08guest room.

01:08:11As they get

01:08:11closer, heavy

01:08:12breathing and a

01:08:13woman's desperate

01:08:14screams reach

01:08:15their ears.

01:08:19Anne's face

01:08:20drains of color.

01:08:21What are you

01:08:22waiting for?

01:08:23Get that door

01:08:23down now!

01:08:24A few strong

01:08:25servants step up

01:08:27and smash the

01:08:27door open.

01:08:28Inside, the

01:08:29shocking scene

01:08:30unfolds for

01:08:31everyone to see.

01:08:33Jolene, her

01:08:35hair mussy and

01:08:36clothes rumpled,

01:08:36is pinned down

01:08:37by an unfamiliar

01:08:38man.

01:08:39Seeing the crowd

01:08:40at the doorway,

01:08:41she breaks down

01:08:42in tears.

01:08:43Mom!

01:08:43It was Catherine!

01:08:44She tricked me!

01:08:46She planned all

01:08:47of this!

01:08:50Despite the

01:08:51accusations, I

01:08:52don't flinch.

01:08:54Jolene, where

01:08:54are you getting

01:08:54this from?

01:08:55The maid ruined

01:08:56my dress, and

01:08:57you sent her to

01:08:58fetch me some

01:08:58clothes, but I

01:08:59waited ages, and

01:09:00no one came, so

01:09:01I left.

01:09:02When I left, the

01:09:03room was empty.

01:09:04I have no idea

01:09:05how you ended up

01:09:06here.

01:09:06How could you

01:09:07be so heartless?

01:09:09Jolene is your

01:09:10sister!

01:09:12I was with Miss

01:09:12Flynn in the

01:09:13banquet hall the

01:09:14entire time.

01:09:15Many guests can

01:09:16vouch for that.

01:09:16How can you

01:09:17stoop to such

01:09:18tactics?

01:09:21Regarding

01:09:21Jolene, we'll

01:09:23have a chance to

01:09:23question the man

01:09:24soon enough.

01:09:27What happened

01:09:28today was a

01:09:29private family

01:09:29matter.

01:09:30Anyone who

01:09:31breathes a

01:09:31word of it will

01:09:32be making an

01:09:32enemy of the

01:09:33Brown family.

01:09:34Anne grabs

01:09:35her trembling

01:09:35daughter and

01:09:36practically drags

01:09:37Jolene out.

01:09:38The man is

01:09:39also hauled

01:09:39away.

01:09:45What a night.

01:09:47You handled

01:09:47that like a

01:09:48pro.

01:09:51It was simply

01:09:52responding to what

01:09:53she started.

01:09:54If she had stayed

01:09:55in her lane, none

01:09:56of this would have

01:09:56happened.

01:09:57Time after time,

01:09:59Jolene tried to

01:09:59set me up.

01:10:00Did she really

01:10:01think I was still

01:10:02the same Catherine

01:10:03who'd just take it

01:10:03lying down?

01:10:05What happened

01:10:06tonight?

01:10:07She brought it

01:10:07on herself.

01:10:09Morning sunlight

01:10:10pours in through

01:10:11the large window

01:10:11casting soft

01:10:12highlights across

01:10:13his sharp jawline.

01:10:15Mr. Warren.

01:10:16Morning.

01:10:17Let's get started.

01:10:18Without hesitation,

01:10:19he reaches for the

01:10:19buttons of his

01:10:20shirt and pulls it

01:10:21up, exposing his

01:10:22bare chest.

01:10:23I slip into

01:10:24professional mode,

01:10:25pick up my medical

01:10:26kit and move to

01:10:27his side.

01:10:29Need a hand

01:10:29handling the

01:10:30Browns?

01:10:31My hands work

01:10:32with practiced

01:10:32confidence.

01:10:34Not right now.

01:10:35I've got it

01:10:36covered.

01:10:38Once the session

01:10:39wraps up, I'm

01:10:40packing away my

01:10:41tools, when Liam

01:10:42slowly pushes off

01:10:43the sofa.

01:10:44He stands steady,

01:10:46clear-headed.

01:10:46You're healing

01:10:47well.

01:10:49You're really

01:10:49skilled at this.

01:10:50Thanks.

01:10:51Keep this up, and

01:10:52one more session

01:10:53and you'll be good

01:10:53as new.

01:10:54Once I'm fully

01:10:55better, what do

01:10:56you want in

01:10:56exchange?

01:10:57You've already

01:10:58paid for the

01:10:58treatments, but

01:10:59if I ever need

01:11:01help down the road,

01:11:01I hope you'll

01:11:02remember the

01:11:02understanding we

01:11:03have today.

01:11:04Sounds fair.

01:11:05Just then, a

01:11:06knock comes at

01:11:07the door, and

01:11:07a maid enters.

01:11:08Sir, Mr. Cassius

01:11:09Warren has

01:11:10arrived.

01:11:11His tone turns

01:11:12icy in an

01:11:12instant.

01:11:13The smile that

01:11:13had just been

01:11:14there disappears

01:11:14completely.

01:11:15Tell him to

01:11:16wait for me in

01:11:16the living room.

01:11:17When I enter

01:11:18the living room,

01:11:19a man in a

01:11:20dark gray suit

01:11:21glances my

01:11:21way.

01:11:22He appears to

01:11:23be in his

01:11:23fifties, sharing

01:11:25some resemblance

01:11:26with Liam.

01:11:31Our eyes lock

01:11:32for a moment, I

01:11:33simply give a

01:11:34small nod and

01:11:35exit smoothly.

01:11:38The intense,

01:11:39almost threatening

01:11:40look from that

01:11:41middle-aged man has

01:11:42set off warning

01:11:43bells in my

01:11:43mind.

01:11:47I let out a

01:11:48soft sigh.

01:11:49I deliberately

01:11:49instruct my driver

01:11:51to take several

01:11:51detours just to

01:11:52make sure no one

01:11:53is tailing me before

01:11:54finally heading back

01:11:55to my apartment.

01:12:00No sooner have I

01:12:01settled in than my

01:12:02phone rings.

01:12:03It's Sophia.

01:12:05Hey Catherine,

01:12:06got a minute?

01:12:07There's this

01:12:08socialite gala

01:12:09happening next week.

01:12:10Want to come along

01:12:11and just have some

01:12:11fun?

01:12:12Sounds good.

01:12:13When is it exactly?

01:12:14Do I need to

01:12:14prepare anything

01:12:15special?

01:12:16It's next Saturday

01:12:16evening at

01:12:17Vantage Oasis.

01:12:18Just wear a

01:12:19cocktail dress.

01:12:20I'll come pick you

01:12:21up and we can go

01:12:22together.

01:12:23Okay, that would

01:12:23work.

01:12:24Thank you so much.

01:12:27I'll go park the

01:12:28car.

01:12:29Sophia goes off to

01:12:30find a parking spot,

01:12:32leaving me to make

01:12:33my way into the

01:12:33building.

01:12:40Just as I step into

01:12:41the lobby, ready to

01:12:43catch the elevator

01:12:44up, I bump on

01:12:45Jolene.

01:12:54Catherine?

01:12:55What are you doing

01:12:56here?

01:12:57So, you're here for

01:12:59the gala?

01:12:59You have an invitation,

01:13:01I hope?

01:13:01Whose little lapdog

01:13:02are you?

01:13:03Running wild and

01:13:04barking at everyone

01:13:05without a care.

01:13:08Excuse me?

01:13:09Who exactly are you

01:13:11insulting?

01:13:11Listen, Catherine,

01:13:12you can't just waltz

01:13:14into this kind of

01:13:15event wearing a dress.

01:13:16Without a real

01:13:17invite, you'll end up

01:13:18humiliated when

01:13:20security shows you

01:13:21the door.

01:13:22Come on, Catherine.

01:13:23Ready to head up?

01:13:25Let's not keep the

01:13:26others waiting.

01:13:37Don't pay her any

01:13:38mind.

01:13:39The organizers gave me

01:13:40two invitations this

01:13:41year.

01:13:42I smile back,

01:13:44appreciating Sophia's

01:13:45subtle way of handling

01:13:46things.

01:14:01Everyone, meet my

01:14:02friend Catherine Brown.

01:14:03I hope you'll look out

01:14:04for her from now on.

01:14:06This gala really is

01:14:07slipping.

01:14:07Apparently just anyone

01:14:08can walk in now.

01:14:10Some people really

01:14:11try too hard, as if

01:14:12showing up here will

01:14:13magically upgrade their

01:14:14pleas in society.

01:14:17Watch your mouth.

01:14:18Catherine is a brown.

01:14:20Have some respect.

01:14:21Please don't be harsh.

01:14:22My sister doesn't

01:14:23attend events like this

01:14:24often.

01:14:25She's just here to get

01:14:26some exposure.

01:14:28Don't go snapping

01:14:29photos willy-nilly.

01:14:30If I see you flooding

01:14:31social media with our

01:14:32images just to boost

01:14:33your status, I won't

01:14:35hesitate to sue.

01:14:45If you want to play

01:14:46dirty, I'll give you a

01:14:47front row seat.

01:14:49Your status comes from

01:14:51flaunting fake

01:14:51jewelries?

01:14:53And what would a

01:14:54country girl like you

01:14:55possibly understand about

01:14:56jewelry?

01:14:59That's Maris Kaur, an

01:15:01iconic design by Davina

01:15:02Gemma from the 60s,

01:15:03centered around a rare

01:15:04cushion-cut diamond,

01:15:05framed by a dozen

01:15:06emeralds.

01:15:08The real necklace was

01:15:09sold at last year's

01:15:10Veritas auction for

01:15:11$36 million, bought

01:15:13anonymously.

01:15:15I have to admit, you've

01:15:17got an eye for quality.

01:15:18It is lovely, I'll give

01:15:19you that, but the issue

01:15:21is that yours isn't

01:15:22authentic.

01:15:22Yes, the center stone is

01:15:24about the right size, but

01:15:25it's missing the clarity a

01:15:26genuine one would have.

01:15:27They look like fresh lab-made

01:15:29pieces.

01:15:30You're talking nonsense!

01:15:31My father gave this to me

01:15:32for my birthday!

01:15:33Janice, don't let my

01:15:35sister get to you.

01:15:36She's been out of touch

01:15:37for years, she probably

01:15:38hasn't even seen jewelry

01:15:39of this caliber.

01:15:40It's easy for her to

01:15:41misjudge.

01:15:42I stay calm, shifting my

01:15:44gaze to the other woman's

01:15:45wrist.

01:15:45Your bracelet actually has

01:15:47decent translucency, but

01:15:49it's been chemically

01:15:50treated and filled with

01:15:51resin.

01:15:52Wearing that too long

01:15:53isn't good for your

01:15:54health.

01:15:55Just so you know.

01:15:56The woman snatches her

01:15:57hand back, going pale.

01:16:00I turn to Jolene.

01:16:03Your necklace is no

01:16:04better, Jolene.

01:16:05Those diamonds look fake

01:16:07too.

01:16:09Jolene's fingers shoot

01:16:10toward her ear but stop

01:16:11halfway.

01:16:12The whole hall goes

01:16:13completely still.

01:16:15That was savage.

01:16:17You nailed that comeback

01:16:19perfectly.

01:16:22I take a sip from my

01:16:23glass and feel not a

01:16:25trace of guilt.

01:16:26Fake jewelry?

01:16:27Fine.

01:16:28Wear it quietly and no

01:16:29one will say a word.

01:16:30But you had to step on

01:16:32me to feel taller.

01:16:33So don't blame me for

01:16:34exposing your fake

01:16:35jewelry.

01:16:36Just you wait!

01:16:38I'm calling in a top

01:16:40jewelry expert right

01:16:42now!

01:16:43Be my guest.

01:16:45Relax, Janice.

01:16:47It's a beautiful day.

01:16:48There's no need to let

01:16:49some petty nonsense

01:16:50spoil it.

01:16:51Petty?

01:16:52This isn't just about

01:16:53me wearing a fake!

01:16:55She's insulting the honor

01:16:56of the whole Lopez

01:16:57family!

01:17:08The craftsmanship is

01:17:09extraordinary, but

01:17:10something is off.

01:17:12The cut and the color

01:17:13don't match the

01:17:14authentic Maris core.

01:17:17Miss Lopez, I'm afraid

01:17:19this necklace is

01:17:20indeed a replica.

01:17:22What?

01:17:23That can't be!

01:17:25The craftsmanship is

01:17:26exceptionally convincing,

01:17:27almost flawless.

01:17:28But as Miss Brown

01:17:29pointed out, the

01:17:30cutting style and the

01:17:31emerald shade reveal

01:17:32subtle differences.

01:17:33Impressive eye, Miss Brown.

01:17:35Only the most skilled

01:17:36experts can detect such

01:17:37subtle distinctions.

01:17:38May I ask who has been

01:17:40your teacher?

01:17:41My mentor is Langston

01:17:43Moore.

01:17:45So, you are the

01:17:46esteemed protégé of

01:17:47Mr. Moore.

01:17:48An honor to meet you

01:17:49at last.

01:17:50Your championship at the

01:17:51last international

01:17:52competition was truly

01:17:53well-deserved.

01:17:54No wonder she spotted

01:17:55the fake so easily.

01:17:56She's Langston Moore's

01:17:58student.

01:18:01That's the world's top

01:18:02jewelry appraiser.

01:18:03The Lopez family really

01:18:04embarrassed themselves

01:18:05today.

01:18:06I can't stay here.

01:18:08I can't let them see

01:18:09me like this.

01:18:19Catherine, when did

01:18:20you pick all this up?

01:18:21You never said a word

01:18:22about it to any of us.

01:18:26There's a lot you don't

01:18:27know, mostly because

01:18:28you never bothered to

01:18:29ask.

01:18:33Catherine, what have

01:18:34you done to Jolaine

01:18:34now?

01:18:35I don't know what

01:18:36you're talking about,

01:18:36Austin.

01:18:37I've been sitting here

01:18:37all night and Jolaine

01:18:38hasn't said a word to

01:18:39me.

01:18:39And I'm not the one

01:18:40who's been sending her

01:18:40all those blue roses.

01:18:44Austin, shouldn't you

01:18:45find out what really

01:18:45happened first?

01:18:46It's Catherine who

01:18:47got wrong today.

01:18:48What about Miss Lopez?

01:18:50How could you upset

01:18:50her and make her cry?

01:18:52You're going to the

01:18:52Lopez residence right

01:18:53now to apologize.

01:18:55Apologize?

01:18:56For what?

01:18:57Telling the truth and

01:18:58exposing Janice's fake

01:19:00jewelry in front of

01:19:00everyone?

01:19:01What nonsense?

01:19:03Miss Lopez wouldn't

01:19:04be caught dead wearing

01:19:05fakes.

01:19:05You're just making up

01:19:06lies to slander her.

01:19:08Mr. Brown, Miss Brown's

01:19:09assessment is absolutely

01:19:10right.

01:19:11This Mari's core necklace

01:19:12is a very well-maked

01:19:13replica, and her appraisal

01:19:14skills surpass even mine.

01:19:16Isn't Austin being way

01:19:17too biased?

01:19:18He's not even listening to

01:19:19the expert.

01:19:20I heard the Browns kicked

01:19:21out their own biological

01:19:22daughter to make room for

01:19:23that adopted girl Jolaine.

01:19:25How ridiculous.

01:19:27Still, you had no right to

01:19:28humiliate Miss Lopez like

01:19:29that in public.

01:19:30Our families have shared a

01:19:32close bond for generations.

01:19:33Did you ever stop to think

01:19:34about how damaging this

01:19:35could be for the Brown

01:19:36group?

01:19:37But what about when Janice

01:19:38openly mocked me for being

01:19:39from the countryside?

01:19:40When they all schemed

01:19:41together to humiliate me

01:19:42in front of everyone?

01:19:43Did anyone ever care how

01:19:44that felt?

01:19:44Have any of you truly

01:19:45treated me like family at

01:19:46all?

01:19:47If not, then I,

01:19:48Catherine, and the Browns

01:19:49are better off going our

01:19:50separate ways from this day

01:19:51forward.

01:19:52Sorry for the disruption

01:19:54and ruining everyone's

01:19:55good time.

01:19:55I'll be taking my leave

01:19:57now.

01:20:00The days passed quietly

01:20:01with nothing but my

01:20:02regular school routine

01:20:03and lab work.

01:20:05Jolaine had kept an

01:20:05unusually low profile

01:20:07ever since the banquet,

01:20:08not daring to provoke me

01:20:09again.

01:20:14So many missed calls.

01:20:16What's going on?

01:20:21Why are you answering

01:20:22Aunt Justina's phone?

01:20:23What happened to her?

01:20:24Watch your tone with me,

01:20:25you ungrateful brat.

01:20:26I haven't even dealt

01:20:27with the mess you made.

01:20:28Thanks to you offending

01:20:29Miss Lopez, the Lopez

01:20:30group has just terminated

01:20:31all their cooperation

01:20:32with us.

01:20:33You will find time to go

01:20:34to the Lopez residence

01:20:35and apologize to Miss

01:20:36Lopez immediately.

01:20:38Keep dreaming.

01:20:39You ungrateful little

01:20:40wolf.

01:20:41If you refuse to listen

01:20:42to me, are you planning

01:20:44to ignore your aunt's

01:20:45life and death situation

01:20:46too?

01:20:47What happened to

01:20:48Aunt Justina?

01:20:49Brain tumor.

01:20:50It's pressing directly

01:20:51on the nerves.

01:20:52Surgery is extremely

01:20:53risky.

01:20:54I'm on my way.

01:21:00Out of my way.

01:21:01Sign this.

01:21:02Sign the share transfer

01:21:03agreement and I'll let

01:21:04you inside to see her.

01:21:07How dare they use

01:21:08Justina's life as a

01:21:09bargaining chip?

01:21:10They have no bottom line.

01:21:12You crazy girl.

01:21:13If you dare lay a hand

01:21:14on me, you'll be condemned

01:21:15for your unfailed behavior.

01:21:17Heaven will strike you down.

01:21:18Then move.

01:21:20Before I actually decide

01:21:22to follow through.

01:21:23Lawrence?

01:21:24Austin?

01:21:26Is that Catherine out there?

01:21:28Let her in.

01:21:38My poor little Catherine.

01:21:40They must have given her

01:21:41a hard time again.

01:21:46It's just the same old

01:21:47health problems.

01:21:48Nothing to worry about.

01:21:50But were they bothering

01:21:51you out there just now?

01:21:53Don't worry about me.

01:21:54I'm perfectly fine.

01:21:55How are you feeling

01:21:56right now, really?

01:21:57Be honest with me.

01:21:58Justina, don't push

01:21:59yourself too hard.

01:22:00The doctors made it clear

01:22:01this condition can't wait

01:22:02any longer.

01:22:03Only Dr. Huxley-Jones

01:22:04can perform this surgery

01:22:05with the highest success rate.

01:22:06Jolene practically bent

01:22:07over back to get him

01:22:08to agree to take the case.

01:22:09Show me her complete

01:22:10medical records and all

01:22:11the scan images right now.

01:22:12Justina has been nothing

01:22:13but kind to you your

01:22:14whole life, hasn't she?

01:22:14Now that she's gravely ill,

01:22:16you won't just sit back

01:22:16and let her die, will you?

01:22:17Here's the deal.

01:22:18Sign over the Brown Group

01:22:19shares to the family

01:22:20and Jolene will convince

01:22:21Dr. Huxley to perform

01:22:22the surgery immediately.

01:22:23We're also willing to

01:22:23overlook the whole

01:22:24Ms. Lopez incident

01:22:25and not hold it against you.

01:22:28Lawrence, Austin, how can

01:22:29you stoop so low as to use

01:22:30my sickness as a weapon

01:22:31against Catherine?

01:22:32This is absolutely shameless.

01:22:33I won't stand for this.

01:22:34Stop it right now!

01:22:35Aunt Justina, please

01:22:37don't be angry.

01:22:38Dad's just worried about

01:22:39all those Brown Group

01:22:40shares Catherine holds.

01:22:41If she's not careful,

01:22:42she could be taken

01:22:43advantage of, which would

01:22:44cause huge problems.

01:22:47That's why he wants

01:22:47to take this chance to

01:22:48get the shares back

01:22:49into the family's hands.

01:22:52Catherine, my condition

01:22:53is severe and it probably

01:22:55we get better.

01:22:57Even if you sign,

01:22:58the surgery might not work.

01:23:01I come to accept that

01:23:02you should leave

01:23:04while you still can.

01:23:05Aunt Justina,

01:23:07I'll be the one

01:23:08to perform your surgery.

01:23:09What could you possibly

01:23:10have to back that up

01:23:11with those so-called

01:23:11skills you picked up

01:23:12from nowhere?

01:23:13Catherine, don't make

01:23:14a fool of yourself

01:23:14and promise more

01:23:15than you can deliver.

01:23:16If Justina's condition

01:23:17worsens because of

01:23:17your arrogance,

01:23:18can you really bear

01:23:18the consequences?

01:23:19Can you live with that guilt?

01:23:21Then we'll just have

01:23:21to wait and see.

01:23:22And don't you ever dare

01:23:24use Aunt Justina

01:23:25as a pawn against me again.

01:23:26The next time you try,

01:23:28I won't hesitate

01:23:28to prove exactly

01:23:29what I am capable of.

01:23:31And you won't like

01:23:32the outcome.

01:23:32I'm not giving up on you.

01:23:35Aunt Justina,

01:23:36trust me.

01:23:37Leave everything to me.

01:23:39I promise I'll make you better.

01:23:41Catherine,

01:23:42I trust you.

01:23:44Completely.

01:23:45Fine!

01:23:45Have it your way, Catherine.

01:23:47Let's see how you handle this.

01:23:49Without Dr. Huxry,

01:23:50I don't think Justina

01:23:51has much time left.

01:23:52When this fails,

01:23:53and it will,

01:23:54you better not come

01:23:55crawling back to us

01:23:56to us on your knees

01:23:57begging for help!

01:24:08It's Zafira.

01:24:09Arrange for the highest

01:24:10grade operating theater

01:24:10at Central Hospital immediately

01:24:12with a full leading

01:24:13neurosurgery team on standby.

01:24:14I'll send over the full

01:24:15equipment list

01:24:16and surgical plan shortly.

01:24:17Understood, Dr. Zafira.

01:24:18We'll handle all

01:24:19the arrangements immediately.

01:24:20Everything will be ready

01:24:21before your scheduled

01:24:22surgery time.

01:24:27An internationally

01:24:28renowned surgeon,

01:24:29Dr. Zyfea?

01:24:31That's the legendary

01:24:32neurosurgeon that even

01:24:33royal families can't book?

01:24:34No!

01:24:35No way!

01:24:35That's impossible!

01:24:37Catherine?

01:24:37That good-for-nothing girl

01:24:38who grew up in the countryside?

01:24:40How could she possibly

01:24:40have connections to someone

01:24:41of Dr. Zyfea's caliber?

01:24:42It must be a coincidence!

01:24:44No, it can't be.

01:24:45She's just a worthless

01:24:46country girl.

01:24:47How could she know

01:24:47Dr. Zyfea?

01:24:50Dad, Austin,

01:24:51don't jump to conclusions.

01:24:52It has to be a coincidence.

01:24:54There's no way Catherine

01:24:55has anything to do with this.

01:24:56She probably doesn't even

01:24:57know who Dr. Zyfea is.

01:25:00Justina, I won't let

01:25:01anything happen to you.

01:25:03This surgery will be

01:25:04a success.

01:25:07Aunt Justina, it's me.

01:25:08I'll be the operatic surgeon

01:25:10for your procedure today.

01:25:11Don't be afraid.

01:25:12Just close your eyes

01:25:13and rest.

01:25:14When you wake up,

01:25:15this ailment will be

01:25:16gone completely.

01:25:18The patient is under

01:25:18general anesthesia.

01:25:19Vitals are stable.

01:25:20Let's begin the operation.

01:25:30My God, that surgical

01:25:31approach angle.

01:25:32It's so bold and intricate,

01:25:33yet it completely avoids

01:25:34all the critical functional

01:25:35areas of the brain.

01:25:36I've never seen anything

01:25:37like it.

01:25:37Look at that section technique.

01:25:38It's so steady.

01:25:39It's terrifying.

01:25:40Not a single tremor,

01:25:41even when working so close

01:25:42to the nerve buns.

01:25:43This is beyond masterful.

01:25:46The patient's vital assigns

01:25:47remain stable throughout

01:25:48the procedure.

01:25:49The operation is a

01:25:50complete success.

01:25:54Please pay close attention

01:25:55to the patient's

01:25:56post-operative monitoring

01:25:57and care.

01:25:58Call me immediately

01:25:59if there are any changes

01:26:00in her condition.

01:26:01Absolutely, Dr. Zafia.

01:26:02We will strictly follow

01:26:03your post-operative care plan.

01:26:04It was the greatest honor

01:26:05of our careers to assist

01:26:06you in this surgery today.

01:26:13Doctor, how did it go?

01:26:15How was my sister?

01:26:16Was the surgery successful?

01:26:18It was an incredible,

01:26:19unprecedented success.

01:26:20The tumor was completely

01:26:21removed, with zero damage

01:26:22to the surrounding nerves

01:26:23and functional areas.

01:26:24The patient's vital sign

01:26:25stayed rock-solid

01:26:26the entire time.

01:26:27Honestly, it was nothing

01:26:28less than a medical miracle.

01:26:29Dr. Zafia's surgical skills

01:26:31are absolutely extraordinary,

01:26:32godlike even.

01:26:33I have to say,

01:26:34your Brown family

01:26:34is truly full of

01:26:35hidden talents.

01:26:36It's almost impossible

01:26:37to book Dr. Zafia

01:26:38for a surgery

01:26:39anywhere in the world,

01:26:40yet you managed to get

01:26:41her to come here personally.

01:26:42I'm genuinely curious.

01:26:43How did you manage

01:26:44to connect with her?

01:26:45How is this possible?

01:26:46How could that country girl

01:26:47have anything to do

01:26:47with Dr. Zafira?

01:26:48This can't be happening.

01:26:49We threatened her,

01:26:50we accused her,

01:26:50we tried to force her

01:26:51to sign away her shares,

01:26:52and she just saved

01:26:53Aunt Justina's life?

01:26:54Dr. Watts,

01:26:55thank you for your

01:26:55hard work today.

01:26:56It was our honor

01:26:57to work with you,

01:26:57Dr. Zafira.

01:26:58You have my word,

01:26:59we will monitor

01:27:00Miss Brown's condition

01:27:0124-7 and strictly follow

01:27:03your post-operasive

01:27:04care instructions.

01:27:05Could it be?

01:27:07Is Catherine actually

01:27:08Dr. Zafira herself?

01:27:10What kind of ridiculous

01:27:12nonsense are you spouting?

01:27:13That ungrateful fool

01:27:14knows nothing.

01:27:15She's just a worthless

01:27:16waste of space.

01:27:17There's no way

01:27:18she could be

01:27:18the world famous

01:27:19Dr. Zafira.

01:27:20Are you done

01:27:21running your mouth?

01:27:21If you're finished,

01:27:22step aside.

01:27:23I don't have time

01:27:24to waste on the likes of you.

01:27:25You, you ungrateful,

01:27:27rebellious girl,

01:27:28you think knowing

01:27:28that Dr. Zafira

01:27:29makes you something special?

01:27:30You probably spent

01:27:31all your money

01:27:32to beg her to come here.

01:27:33It's not like

01:27:33you have any real skill.

01:27:34I am Dr. Zafira.

01:27:37Aunt Justina's surgery

01:27:38was performed

01:27:38by my own hands

01:27:40from start to finish.

01:27:44No.

01:27:45Impossible!

01:27:46How could you possibly

01:27:46be Dr. Zafira?

01:27:47You're just a worthless,

01:27:48uneducated girl

01:27:49from the countryside.

01:27:50You're nothing!

01:27:50You're lying!

01:27:51Worthless?

01:27:51I'm the one

01:27:52who saved

01:27:52Aunt Justina's life.

01:27:53What have you done

01:27:54besides using her sickness

01:27:55as a weapon

01:27:55to try and steal from me?

01:27:57Catherine, why...

01:27:58why didn't you tell us sooner?

01:28:00If you had told us

01:28:01who you were earlier,

01:28:02we wouldn't have...

01:28:02we wouldn't have

01:28:03treated you like that.

01:28:04We wouldn't have

01:28:05made so many mistakes.

01:28:07Wouldn't have what?

01:28:08Wouldn't have treated me

01:28:09like an outsider?

01:28:10Wouldn't have helped

01:28:11Jolaine bully me

01:28:12time and time again?

01:28:13Wouldn't have used

01:28:14my only family member's life

01:28:15to threaten me?

01:28:16Austin, do you even believe

01:28:17a single word you just said?

01:28:19Catherine doesn't need

01:28:20your fake last-minute regrets.

01:28:22From this day forward,

01:28:23I will be the one

01:28:23to take care of her.

01:28:24You will never get the chance

01:28:25to hurt her again.

01:28:26Mr. Warren,

01:28:27this is just a private

01:28:28family matter of the

01:28:29Brown family.

01:28:30There's no need for you

01:28:31to get involved.

01:28:31Family matter?

01:28:32When you kicked her

01:28:33out of the house

01:28:34and left her homeless,

01:28:34did you ever think

01:28:35of her as family?

01:28:36You even used her aunt's

01:28:37life as a threat against her.

01:28:38When she was in danger,

01:28:39where were you?

01:28:40When she was bullied

01:28:41and even kidnapped,

01:28:42did you ever stood up

01:28:43for her even once?

01:28:44Enough, Liam.

01:28:45Talking to these people

01:28:46is just a waste of time.

01:28:48Let's go.

01:28:50ha ha ha!

01:28:53Ha ha ha!

01:28:53You
