Transcript

00:00:03My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.

00:00:07Today, my family pushed me into hell.

00:00:10The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.

00:00:12The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.

00:00:17Jolene!

00:00:19Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!

00:00:21If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.

00:00:24Release Jolene first.

00:00:25Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.

00:00:29I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.

00:00:33But he doesn't even glance my way.

00:00:35I choose Jolene too.

00:00:37This is the man I loved for three years.

00:00:40Code-blooded.

00:00:41Roofless.

00:00:50I know, once I nearly died saving him, but now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.

00:01:03Poor girl.

00:01:05Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:01:07No need to hurry.

00:01:08One at a time, boys.

00:01:10Everyone gets their turn.

00:01:15Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.

00:01:18A dozen figures dressed in black storming silence.

00:01:22If you want to live, stop right now.

00:01:27I recognize the man.

00:01:29He is Liam Warren.

00:01:30The most powerful man in Artwell.

00:01:32Who commands a massive empire.

00:01:34Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.

00:01:37Mr. Warren, please spare us.

00:01:56Who are you?

00:01:57I'm the one sending you to hell.

00:02:00Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams, desperate pleas, and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.

00:02:10How much did Jolene pay you?

00:02:12Five million.

00:02:14She wanted you ruined.

00:02:19Thank you for saving me.

00:02:24You've been poisoned for over a month.

00:02:27I can cure it.

00:02:29Do you trust me?

00:02:32I trust you.

00:02:33I draw a small blade, make a precise cut on his finger, and let out some blackened blood.

00:02:37Until it's fully out of my system, you're going to have to stick close to me.

00:02:43First, I need to end things with the Browns.

00:02:46I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.

00:02:49When I return home, I find my biological parents and three brothers gathered around Jolana, showering her with care.

00:02:56I close the distance, grab a handful of Jolene's hair, across the face.

00:03:01Catherine, have you completely lost it?

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

00:03:06You better apologize right now.

00:03:09Catherine, what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?

00:03:13Maybe we never should have taken you in.

00:03:16Me causing trouble?

00:03:18Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?

00:03:21She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.

00:03:25I pull out my phone and play the recording.

00:03:27Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:03:29The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.

00:03:34No!

00:03:35It must be fake!

00:03:36Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?

00:03:40Or maybe call the police?

00:03:41No!

00:03:42You can't call the cops!

00:03:43Catherine, I'm sorry!

00:03:45I'm the one who should leave this place!

00:03:48Catherine, Jolene's apologized.

00:03:49Just drop it!

00:03:50It's either her or me.

00:03:54Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.

00:03:56In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.

00:03:59So why should I hold on to them?

00:04:01Just as I step outside, a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.

00:04:08Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?

00:04:10Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.

00:04:12I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.

00:04:19The car glides into the Warren estate.

00:04:22The most powerful family in Ardwell.

00:04:29Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.

00:04:36Is everything settled?

00:04:37Yes, I've cut ties.

00:04:38From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.

00:04:40Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:43Alright.

00:04:44But I have two conditions.

00:04:45First, I need a complete medical lab.

00:04:48Second, our relationship is strictly professional.

00:04:51Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.

00:04:55Alright.

00:04:56But keep this in mind.

00:05:00If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours.

00:05:04My medical skills won't disappoint you.

00:05:06Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.

00:05:09Buy whatever you need.

00:05:10Don't hold back.

00:05:11I take the black card.

00:05:12A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.

00:05:15Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.

00:05:18Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.

00:05:21I enter the room Liam arranges for me.

00:05:23This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.

00:05:26Ironic, isn't it?

00:05:27A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.

00:05:31I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.

00:05:37Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.

00:05:40Where did you run off to?

00:05:41Come back.

00:05:42Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.

00:05:45Why are you still throwing a tantrum?

00:05:46Who picked you up?

00:05:48Stop making everything difficult.

00:05:50Just return home.

00:05:52If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.

00:05:56What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?

00:06:01Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?

00:06:05I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.

00:06:11I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.

00:06:15Get lost.

00:06:16Then I block them all without hesitation.

00:06:18That feels even better.

00:06:19This is how life should be.

00:06:21Logging out.

00:06:21I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.

00:06:27A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.

00:06:33Welcome back.

00:06:34Quietus.

00:06:35I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.

00:06:38The genius hacker Quietus.

00:06:41My phone rings.

00:06:43It's Jeral Douglas, my loyal admirer.

00:06:46Catherine, you're actually back?

00:06:47I can't believe it.

00:06:48I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.

00:06:51Good.

00:06:51Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.

00:06:54The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.

00:06:57It seems Liam is already investigating me.

00:07:00Let him dig.

00:07:01Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.

00:07:08The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.

00:07:17Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.

00:07:25Miss Brown, you're here just in time.

00:07:28I'll bring out the new styles for you.

00:07:33Catherine, what brings you here?

00:07:35The clothes here are quite expensive.

00:07:37Jolene, is this your sister?

00:07:38Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?

00:07:47Ring up everything I selected.

00:07:49The sales assistant's face goes pale.

00:07:51That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.

00:07:55Catherine, did you find someone to support you?

00:07:58Watch out.

00:08:00Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.

00:08:04I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.

00:08:06What?

00:08:07I saw those first.

00:08:09Saw them first, but can't afford them?

00:08:12Maybe?

00:08:14Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?

00:08:17Jolene trembles with fury.

00:08:19I pay and walk out.

00:08:21I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction courses through.

00:08:28After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.

00:08:32The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.

00:08:36I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:38I'm dressed in a wine red gown.

00:08:40My makeup refined but understated.

00:08:42Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.

00:08:46I am Liam Warren's date.

00:08:48The most powerful man in Ardwell.

00:08:51All eyes are drawn to us.

00:08:55Is that Mr. Warren?

00:08:57He actually showed up.

00:08:59Who's that woman with him?

00:09:00I've never seen her before.

00:09:03She's stunning.

00:09:04Is she from some notable family?

00:09:07I ignore the whispers.

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

00:09:12Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm.

00:09:15Playing the part of a cherished woman.

00:09:18But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.

00:09:21Austin freezes too.

00:09:22He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.

00:09:29Catherine, what are you doing here?

00:09:31And with Mr. Warren?

00:09:33Where I go isn't any of your business.

00:09:34Who do you think you are to me?

00:09:40I'm your brother.

00:09:43I let out a cold laugh.

00:09:46Brother?

00:09:47When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,

00:09:49did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:52Catherine.

00:09:55Is with me.

00:09:57His words are dripping with authority.

00:10:02Jolene approaches.

00:10:03Her expression dark.

00:10:05Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?

00:10:08You never mentioned anything.

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

00:10:14I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.

00:10:19Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.

00:10:21Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.

00:10:25None of that is any of your business.

00:10:27Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?

00:10:32Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears.

00:10:36Here she goes again.

00:10:39Catherine, that's not what I meant.

00:10:43Catherine, where have you been?

00:10:45Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

00:10:48We're not that familiar.

00:10:50Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:54Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?

00:11:01Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:08I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.

00:11:18I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:21Did you catch that?

00:11:23Liam said it himself.

00:11:25She's with him.

00:11:27This has never happened before, has it?

00:11:31Wait, Catherine?

00:11:33Isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth

00:11:36and brought back from some remote place?

00:11:40Judging by Jolene's little comments,

00:11:42the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.

00:11:46Look at Deccan's face.

00:11:48Is he starting to regret dumping her?

00:11:52I don't look back,

00:11:53but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.

00:11:57The auction begins.

00:11:59One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.

00:12:02Beautiful work of art.

00:12:04A piece of history.

00:12:06A masterpiece.

00:12:13Dazzling.

00:12:15Priceless.

00:12:16But I've never been interested in jewelry.

00:12:19No matter how valuable,

00:12:21they're just stones.

00:12:22Just then,

00:12:23I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:25It's Jolene.

00:12:26Austin,

00:12:27this necklace is stunning.

00:12:29I really like it.

00:12:33Austin understands immediately.

00:12:34His eyes grow determined.

00:12:37Huh.

00:12:38Same as always.

00:12:39Whatever Jolene wants,

00:12:41Austin gives her.

00:12:46Once I was jealous.

00:12:48Now,

00:12:49I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:53Going once.

00:12:54Going twice.

00:12:55Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,

00:12:58a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:13:0150 million.

00:13:0250 million.

00:13:04Sold.

00:13:05Congratulations,

00:13:06Mr. Warren.

00:13:08Liam walks up to the stage

00:13:09and claims the necklace.

00:13:16Then,

00:13:17to everyone's astonishment,

00:13:18he returns to me

00:13:20and fastens the necklace

00:13:21around my neck.

00:13:27It looks good on you.

00:13:31I really like it.

00:13:33The sight stings Jolene's eyes.

00:13:36Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.

00:13:39I reach up and touch the cool gem

00:13:41against my neck.

00:13:4450 million for a necklace.

00:13:47Liam really doesn't hold back.

00:13:49After the auction wraps up,

00:13:51I wander to the dessert table alone.

00:13:54Catherine,

00:13:54you really are something.

00:13:56A few days away

00:13:57and you've already hooked onto Liam.

00:13:58Nothing as impressive

00:14:00as your lifelong mastery

00:14:01of acting sweet and pitiful.

00:14:03Why do you always target me?

00:14:04Cut it out.

00:14:05There's no audience here,

00:14:07so no need to pretend.

00:14:08Jolene spots Declan approaching

00:14:10and intentionally bumps onto me,

00:14:12splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:14Catherine,

00:14:15even if you dislike me,

00:14:16isn't this too much?

00:14:17Throwing juice on me?

00:14:20What happened?

00:14:21Declan,

00:14:21it's okay.

00:14:23I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:25Catherine,

00:14:26you still haven't grown up.

00:14:27Jolene is your sister.

00:14:31I pick up a glass of red wine

00:14:33and flick my wrist,

00:14:34sending the whole glass

00:14:35onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:37There.

00:14:37That's something I actually did.

00:14:39And I only take responsibility

00:14:41for my own actions.

00:14:43Jolene is stunned.

00:14:45Declan freezes.

00:14:47Seems I arrived

00:14:48just after all the excitement ending.

00:14:51Quite the lesson

00:14:52in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:54Mr. Warren,

00:14:55this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:58Misunderstanding?

00:14:59There are security cameras here.

00:15:03Review them

00:15:04if clarity is needed.

00:15:06Whispers erupt around them.

00:15:13Jolene's face

00:15:14goes from scarlet

00:15:15to ghostly pale.

00:15:17Let's go.

00:15:18The atmosphere here

00:15:19is suffocating.

00:15:21A fierce satisfaction

00:15:22rising in my chest.

00:15:23This time,

00:15:24I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:26Back in the Brown family,

00:15:27I always tried to keep the peace.

00:15:29And all it got me

00:15:29was them pushing harder

00:15:30every time.

00:15:31Now,

00:15:31no one could step on me again.

00:15:39The following morning,

00:15:40I walk into the living area

00:15:42and notice Liam

00:15:44is already awake.

00:15:56Good morning.

00:15:58Morning.

00:16:00I head to the kitchen

00:16:02to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:08Just then,

00:16:09Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:17Is she the mysterious beauty

00:16:18who stunned everyone

00:16:19last night?

00:16:20That's Catherine Brown,

00:16:22my new personal doctor.

00:16:25You're serious?

00:16:27His skepticism is loud enough

00:16:29that I can't ignore it.

00:16:31Mr. Moreno,

00:16:32perhaps you should

00:16:33take things easy.

00:16:34Your dark under eyes

00:16:36and shortness of breath

00:16:37suggest your vitality

00:16:38is running low.

00:16:39Winfred's face

00:16:40flushes immediately.

00:16:41This touches on a man's pride.

00:16:43What nonsense

00:16:43are you spouting?

00:16:45Miss Brown,

00:16:45I'm not one to judge

00:16:46by appearances.

00:16:47But Liam's condition

00:16:48is severe.

00:16:49Many top experts

00:16:50have been stumped.

00:16:51And you?

00:16:52I'm not bothered.

00:16:54I've faced this kind of doubt

00:16:55many times before.

00:16:57We'll see soon enough.

00:16:59Winred,

00:17:00maybe you ought to let

00:17:01Dr. Brown

00:17:02give you a prescription.

00:17:05Liam,

00:17:05are you kidding me?

00:17:06this girl

00:17:06she's not just some girl.

00:17:08She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:10Right now,

00:17:10she's the one

00:17:11keeping me alive.

00:17:12He then turns to me.

00:17:13Can you really fix me?

00:17:18Yes.

00:17:1930 minutes later,

00:17:20I begin the first

00:17:22acupuncture session.

00:17:24Liam pulls his shirt up,

00:17:25exposing his toned chest.

00:17:29I pull out the silver needles

00:17:30and insert them

00:17:31with speed and precision.

00:17:37When the last needle

00:17:38is inserted,

00:17:40Liam's body shivers.

00:17:41And he spits out

00:17:43dark red clotted blood.

00:17:49What did you just do

00:17:50to him, Dr. Brown?

00:17:51How are you feeling now?

00:17:53I'm not.

00:17:57I feel great.

00:17:59Lighter than I have

00:18:00in a long time.

00:18:02Don't let yourself

00:18:02get too stressed.

00:18:04And most importantly,

00:18:06you'll need to prioritize

00:18:07rest and abstinence.

00:18:09Understood, Dr. Brown.

00:18:11I'll take your advice seriously.

00:18:13Winfred leans in

00:18:14and quietly asks

00:18:15if I can help

00:18:16with his health.

00:18:19I go back to my room

00:18:21and return

00:18:21with a bottle of pills.

00:18:24These are pills

00:18:25for male vitality.

00:18:26One bottle costs

00:18:27$100,000.

00:18:28$100,000?

00:18:30Are these pills

00:18:31made of solid gold?

00:18:33The ingredients are rare

00:18:34and the process

00:18:35is complicated.

00:18:36Quality always demands

00:18:38a premium price.

00:18:39Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:41A sports car

00:18:42can be repaired,

00:18:42but if your health fails,

00:18:44no sum of money

00:18:45will grant you

00:18:46a second chance.

00:18:47The following morning,

00:18:49just as I prepare

00:18:50to leave,

00:18:50my phone buzzles

00:18:52with a call

00:18:52from Austin.

00:18:55Catherine,

00:18:56come back here

00:18:56right now.

00:18:57What is it?

00:18:58You'll find out

00:18:58when you get here.

00:18:59I realize that

00:19:00for the sake

00:19:01of my own peace,

00:19:02cutting all connections

00:19:03with the Brown family

00:19:04is necessary.

00:19:06The mood in the living room

00:19:08is thick with tension.

00:19:13Look who's back.

00:19:15How did you sink

00:19:16so low at your age,

00:19:18becoming someone's mistress?

00:19:21Catherine,

00:19:22I'm only trying

00:19:22to help you.

00:19:23I'm afraid

00:19:24you're being misled.

00:19:25Who I decide

00:19:27to be with

00:19:27is my own business.

00:19:30It doesn't concern

00:19:31your family.

00:19:32You're a Brown!

00:19:35Everything you do

00:19:36stains our family's name!

00:19:39Catherine,

00:19:40seriously,

00:19:41do you think Liam

00:19:42would ever give you

00:19:42the time of day?

00:19:43Are you all finished?

00:19:46First,

00:19:47Liam and I

00:19:48have a strictly

00:19:48doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:50Second,

00:19:51even if there were

00:19:52something else,

00:19:53it's none of your business.

00:19:54And don't forget

00:19:56that I am no longer

00:19:57part of your family.

00:19:58You said you cut ties,

00:20:00so give back

00:20:01the Brown Group shares.

00:20:05Those shares

00:20:05came from Grandpa.

00:20:08You don't have

00:20:09a single right

00:20:10to any of it.

00:20:11I pull out my phone

00:20:12and show them

00:20:13the screen.

00:20:14Since I stepped in,

00:20:15I've been recording

00:20:16all your insults,

00:20:18threats,

00:20:18and schemes

00:20:19to grab the shares.

00:20:20Keep pushing me,

00:20:21and I won't hesitate

00:20:23to hand this over

00:20:24to the press

00:20:24and the law.

00:20:27I put my phone away,

00:20:29feeling nothing.

00:20:31I used to put up

00:20:32with everything

00:20:33you threw at me.

00:20:35Now it's your turn

00:20:36to taste

00:20:36what it feels like

00:20:38to be on the other end

00:20:39of a threat.

00:20:42I leave

00:20:43the Brown family home

00:20:44and prepare

00:20:44to go back.

00:20:48Suddenly,

00:20:49a voice calls out,

00:20:51Catherine,

00:20:51is that really you?

00:20:52Where have you

00:20:53been hiding?

00:20:54I look at the woman

00:20:55before me.

00:20:57She's nearly 50,

00:20:59her face lined

00:21:00with wrinkles,

00:21:01her expression

00:21:02mean and petty.

00:21:03What do you want?

00:21:04You must have money

00:21:05if you're surviving

00:21:06this well.

00:21:07My son needs

00:21:08school fees,

00:21:09and you owe me

00:21:10half a million.

00:21:11If you don't pay up,

00:21:12I'll make a scene

00:21:13outside your place

00:21:14every single day.

00:21:15If you need cash,

00:21:17ask your real daughter,

00:21:18Jolene.

00:21:18I raised you

00:21:20all those years,

00:21:21so you should

00:21:21compensate me.

00:21:22You ungrateful brat!

00:21:25Stay out of my way.

00:21:26Otherwise,

00:21:27I won't hesitate

00:21:28to involve the police

00:21:29and reopening the case

00:21:30about you switching infants.

00:21:32You...

00:21:32Don't do anything, Rash.

00:21:34I'll be going now.

00:21:35Bridget scurries off

00:21:36in panic.

00:21:41Just then,

00:21:42a sleek black Rolls Royce

00:21:44glides to a stop

00:21:45beside me.

00:21:46The window lowers,

00:21:48revealing Liam's

00:21:49handsome face.

00:21:51Do you need a hand?

00:21:52No, it's nothing serious.

00:21:54I've already taken care of it.

00:21:57Get in.

00:21:58It's nearly impossible

00:21:59to catch a taxi here.

00:22:00I hesitate,

00:22:02but eventually

00:22:02get into the car.

00:22:04Bridget's appearance

00:22:05reminds me of one thing.

00:22:06The Brown family's

00:22:07troubles aren't over.

00:22:08That woman's greed

00:22:10is bottomless.

00:22:11She won't let this go.

00:22:12But that's fine.

00:22:14I'm no longer

00:22:15that little girl

00:22:16who let others

00:22:17push her around.

00:22:19Anyone who wants

00:22:20to come after me

00:22:21had better think twice.

00:22:24On the weekend,

00:22:26Gerard asks to meet me

00:22:27at Harborview Genie,

00:22:29a popular restaurant.

00:22:34Catherine?

00:22:35I turn around

00:22:36and my eyes fall on Jaleen,

00:22:38standing with the Browns

00:22:39and the Fultons.

00:22:41Did you hear we'd be here

00:22:42and decide to show up

00:22:43just to cause a scene?

00:22:45Mr. Brown,

00:22:46I'm here for the food.

00:22:48Just then,

00:22:50a clear voice

00:22:50cuts through the tension.

00:22:53Ms. Catherine Brown,

00:22:55you're here.

00:22:56Welcome.

00:22:56Please follow me.

00:22:58Everyone stares in shock

00:22:59as I walk toward

00:23:00the most private,

00:23:01rarely accessible suite

00:23:02in the entire restaurant.

00:23:04How is she getting in there?

00:23:06There must be some mistake.

00:23:09I push open the suite door

00:23:10and Gerard immediately rises

00:23:12from his seat.

00:23:15Catherine,

00:23:15you made it.

00:23:16Gerard tells me

00:23:17his uncle has been diagnosed

00:23:18with a brain tumor.

00:23:20He says the required surgery

00:23:21carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:28Start with this medication.

00:23:29Come back in a week

00:23:30for a follow-up.

00:23:31We'll reassess then.

00:23:36Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:38I was sure you'd have a solution.

00:23:40After the meal,

00:23:42Gerard leans forward

00:23:42and asks if I need help

00:23:44with anything.

00:23:46I want to buy a house.

00:23:48It doesn't have to be big,

00:23:49but it must be extremely quiet

00:23:51and private

00:23:52with top-tier security.

00:23:53I'll handle it.

00:23:54I'll find something

00:23:55perfect for you.

00:23:56Oh, and you're starting

00:23:56at Araylis University

00:23:57next Monday, right?

00:23:59I'm going to study.

00:24:01Medical school.

00:24:02You need to study medicine?

00:24:03You've got to be kidding me!

00:24:05I'm getting a formal degree

00:24:06and taking care

00:24:07of some personal business.

00:24:09Campus life

00:24:09isn't a bad experience

00:24:10after all.

00:24:13The manager hands me

00:24:15an exclusive

00:24:15premium membership card

00:24:17saying all my expenses here

00:24:19will be on the house

00:24:20from now on.

00:24:21I glance over at Gerard

00:24:23and he breaks into a grin.

00:24:25Don't refuse it.

00:24:26This is our business,

00:24:27so just enjoy it.

00:24:31Fine.

00:24:33After being chased away

00:24:34from my private suite,

00:24:36Jolene drags herself

00:24:37to her family's box.

00:24:49Jolene, are you okay?

00:24:52Mom, I'm fine.

00:24:53I just stepped out

00:24:54to see who Catherine

00:24:55was meeting.

00:24:56I was worried about her,

00:24:58but she had me pushed away.

00:25:00What?

00:25:02How dare she treat you

00:25:03that way?

00:25:04That ungrateful girl!

00:25:07Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:09I saw it too.

00:25:11The manager was treating Catherine

00:25:13with a lot of respect.

00:25:15Yes.

00:25:16That man had an aura

00:25:17you can't fake.

00:25:19Catherine is clearly

00:25:20in the high circles.

00:25:21No wonder she's trying

00:25:23to distance herself

00:25:23from us.

00:25:31Pathetic

00:25:31and disgraceful.

00:25:34Who knows

00:25:36what kind of company

00:25:37she's keeping now.

00:25:39Jolene's heart

00:25:39swells with secret satisfaction.

00:25:41I have burned my bridges

00:25:43with the family for good.

00:25:45She is the Brown family's

00:25:47one and only daughter now.

00:25:50The dinner finally ends

00:25:52and the two families part way

00:25:54at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:56When an unexpected grating voice

00:25:58rings out behind Jolene,

00:25:59she turns around

00:26:01and her smile freezes.

00:26:02It's her.

00:26:04Jolene!

00:26:06My dear daughter!

00:26:08Finally!

00:26:08I've found you!

00:26:10Her blood runs cold.

00:26:13Jolene,

00:26:14your younger brother

00:26:15needs money for school.

00:26:17Maybe you could help us out?

00:26:22I don't have time

00:26:23for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:25Take this

00:26:26and never show your face

00:26:27around me again.

00:26:28Jolene,

00:26:29this isn't nearly enough.

00:26:30The tuition alone

00:26:31is a hundred thousand.

00:26:33Her hands tremble

00:26:34with unbridled rage.

00:26:35This wretched woman

00:26:36just won't know her place.

00:26:38I don't know you!

00:26:39My parents already

00:26:40paid you enough

00:26:41to cut ties

00:26:42all those years ago!

00:26:48I can't let this go on.

00:26:50I need to find a way

00:26:51to get rid of this problem

00:26:52for good.

00:26:53The day I've been waiting for

00:26:54has finally arrived.

00:26:56My first day

00:26:57reporting to

00:26:58Averius University.

00:27:12Jolene,

00:27:13is this your sister?

00:27:14Since when

00:27:14does Averius University

00:27:16let random nobodies walk in?

00:27:17Well,

00:27:18isn't this a lovely coincidence,

00:27:20Jolene?

00:27:21Looks like we're going

00:27:22going to be classmate.

00:27:22Classmates?

00:27:23You and me?

00:27:24Don't be ridiculous!

00:27:27The lecture bell

00:27:29chimes sharp and clear

00:27:30and Professor Lambert Carter

00:27:32steps through the door.

00:27:33He's a living legend

00:27:35in the global medical field,

00:27:36the heart of this school's

00:27:38medical program.

00:27:39He turns to the class

00:27:40and poses an extremely complex,

00:27:43peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:46The entire lecture hall

00:27:47falls dead silent,

00:27:49not a single student

00:27:50daring to speak up.

00:27:54Young lady,

00:27:55please tell us what you think.

00:27:56I shut my notebook calmly,

00:27:58no trace of panic

00:28:00in my movements,

00:28:01and stand up.

00:28:02I lay out my analysis

00:28:03clearly and concisely,

00:28:05citing cutting-edge research,

00:28:07clinical data,

00:28:07and real surgical cases

00:28:09effortlessly.

00:28:12She's incredible!

00:28:13Total beauty and brains!

00:28:15Who even is she?

00:28:17Jolene's face burns

00:28:18with jealousy,

00:28:19her grip tight on her pen.

00:28:23When the final bell rings,

00:28:25I walk out of the lecture hall.

00:28:27Jolene steps in front of me

00:28:28with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:30Catherine,

00:28:31just a few days away,

00:28:33and suddenly you're the one

00:28:34catching everyone's attention.

00:28:36Jolene?

00:28:37She's probably pulling stunts

00:28:39she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:40Exactly!

00:28:41Everyone whispers

00:28:42she knows how to charm

00:28:44the right people.

00:28:45Is that all?

00:28:46Now,

00:28:47move aside,

00:28:49mutt.

00:28:51What did you just say?

00:28:53Paige steps forward

00:28:54to push me.

00:28:56I'm not going to warn you twice.

00:28:58Hands to yourselves.

00:29:02Catherine!

00:29:03You can't just touch

00:29:04people like that!

00:29:05Jolene,

00:29:06keep your little gang in check.

00:29:07If they open their mouths

00:29:09like that again,

00:29:10next time won't be so friendly.

00:29:11Watch your tone.

00:29:13You're messing with

00:29:14the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:17The Brown family?

00:29:19That's your problem,

00:29:21not mine.

00:29:23Stop pretending.

00:29:24It's pathetic.

00:29:26I turn and walk away.

00:29:34I turn and walk away.

00:29:39You were out?

00:29:42I stopped by Aurelius University

00:29:44to check in.

00:29:46Also took a look

00:29:46at a new place

00:29:47while I was out.

00:29:49You're moving out?

00:29:50Yeah.

00:29:51Staying here long term

00:29:52isn't practical.

00:29:53Your treatment

00:29:54has leveled out.

00:29:54It won't interfere

00:29:55with your progress.

00:29:56Where's the new place?

00:29:58I offer the building

00:29:59and unit number

00:29:59of Sterling Haven

00:30:00without hesitation.

00:30:02Then I prepare

00:30:03a medicinal shower.

00:30:04The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:07A thin mist

00:30:08curling through the room.

00:30:11It's ready?

00:30:12Liam walks toward

00:30:13the treatment area

00:30:14unbuttoning his shirt

00:30:16as he moves.

00:30:17His long fingers

00:30:19loosen the fabric

00:30:20revealing toned muscles

00:30:21and defined contours.

00:30:25Take the pants off too.

00:30:30What's the matter?

00:30:31Feeling shy now?

00:30:32After some hesitation

00:30:34Liam strips down

00:30:35to his briefs

00:30:36and eases himself

00:30:37into the steaming water.

00:30:39Though composed

00:30:40moments ago

00:30:41my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:43It's not like

00:30:44this is the first time

00:30:45I've treated him.

00:30:46Why am I so flustered?

00:30:49Get it together Catherine.

00:30:51You're a doctor.

00:30:52Stay professional.

00:30:53Don't let a handsome face

00:30:55and a good body

00:30:55throw you off.

00:30:57The next day

00:30:58I head to the lab

00:30:59to find Lombard.

00:31:02Perfect timing.

00:31:03I've been wrestling

00:31:04with this data all morning.

00:31:05Come check this out.

00:31:10The two of us

00:31:11slip effortlessly

00:31:12into a heated discussion.

00:31:22Professor Carter

00:31:23sorry to interrupt

00:31:24but there's something

00:31:25I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:26If you have something

00:31:27to say

00:31:27just say it.

00:31:29Professor

00:31:29I know you prize

00:31:31real skill

00:31:32but Kathleen

00:31:33is not who you think

00:31:34she is.

00:31:35She never attended

00:31:35a proper university.

00:31:37How could she grasp

00:31:38complex medical research?

00:31:39I'm afraid

00:31:40you're being deceived.

00:31:40Enough!

00:31:42Jolene

00:31:43I don't know

00:31:44what you're trying

00:31:44to do with these accusations

00:31:45but I've seen enough

00:31:47to know true talent

00:31:48when it's in front of me.

00:31:50Catherine identified

00:31:50the error

00:31:51the moment she looked at it.

00:31:53Most PhD candidates

00:31:54wouldn't even catch

00:31:55this mistake

00:31:55the first time around.

00:31:57Tell me

00:31:57how could anyone

00:31:59possibly fake

00:32:00that level

00:32:00of understanding?

00:32:06Professor Carter

00:32:07I

00:32:07I know true talent

00:32:08when I see it.

00:32:09I don't need

00:32:10your commentary.

00:32:12Now

00:32:13please

00:32:14step outside.

00:32:22In that moment

00:32:23I knew

00:32:24I'd found someone

00:32:25who saw me

00:32:26not the lies

00:32:27they spread about me.

00:32:35Hey

00:32:36I'm Catherine Brown

00:32:37Just as I walked

00:32:39into the classroom

00:32:40and took my seat

00:32:41I noticed

00:32:42the girl next to me

00:32:43her cheek

00:32:44marked by a dark

00:32:45birthmark.

00:32:47Hi

00:32:47I'm

00:32:48Claudia Norris

00:32:54Well well

00:32:55what do we have here?

00:32:56One caught attention

00:32:57by pure chance

00:32:58and the other

00:32:59well

00:33:00the problem's

00:33:00pretty obvious

00:33:01the snickling

00:33:02spread through

00:33:02the classroom

00:33:03in an instant

00:33:04every gaze

00:33:05nailed onto

00:33:05the two of us.

00:33:06Oh come on

00:33:07everyone

00:33:08don't be so harsh

00:33:10Professor Carter

00:33:11thinks the world

00:33:12of Catherine

00:33:15So she's really

00:33:16riding Professor

00:33:17Carter's coattails

00:33:18to get into

00:33:18med school?

00:33:24same as Jolene's

00:33:27you actually showed up

00:33:28wearing fake shoes

00:33:29that's bold

00:33:33still it's embarrassing

00:33:34as hell

00:33:41all eyes

00:33:42in that instant

00:33:43were pinned on my feet

00:33:46I feel like being judged

00:33:48in a high society party

00:33:50the murmur in the room

00:33:52quickly grows

00:33:53into a loud buzz

00:33:54most of them

00:33:55were convinced

00:33:56the shoes on my feet

00:33:58were fake

00:33:58hey Catherine

00:34:02I don't mind

00:34:02lending you mine

00:34:03wearing fakes

00:34:13actually know

00:34:14who's rocking

00:34:14the fakes

00:34:17I slowed my movements

00:34:18deliberately

00:34:19lifted my foot

00:34:20and aimed the heel

00:34:21straight at the crowd

00:48:42you'll catch a cold like this

00:48:44he glances out the window

00:48:45just in time to see me walking past

00:48:47holding my umbrella

00:48:49catherine you had an umbrella

00:48:51why didn't you share it with jolene

00:49:00do you really think we're close enough for that

00:49:05catherine jolene is family look at her she's drenched you had an umbrella and didn't even think to help her

00:49:14do you have any idea how cruel that looks

00:49:16exactly jolene soak because catherine abandoned her she went way too far

00:49:21before i speak a nearby student steps in

00:49:25please i saw jolene give her umbrella to someone else just to look noble and then she tried to free

00:49:29float it off catherine

00:49:29catherine didn't want to share so what stop trying to guilt trip her

00:49:34so what the rain was pouring sharing wouldn't kill her catherine's catherine's just being selfish

00:49:41page please you don't even know what happened jolene gave her umbrella away just to look generous

00:49:45austin that's not what happened

00:49:47i only wanted to get closer to her

00:49:50i didn't realize she disliked me so much

00:49:53keep your little performances away from me

00:49:55don't test me

00:50:09in the classroom i sit quietly at my desk

00:50:11flipping through my notes

00:50:13catherine i heard jolene's really sick today

00:50:15she didn't come to class

00:50:16rain and cold

00:50:17it's pretty normal to feel under the weather afterward

00:50:19a loud commotion erupts at the classroom entrance

00:50:23feel satisfied now catherine

00:50:24jolene's in the hospital with a high fever

00:50:27all because you wouldn't share your stupid umbrella

00:50:29i calmly shut my notebook and rise to my feet

00:50:32a chilly razor-thin smile forms on my lips

00:50:36she's sick and that's supposed to be my responsibility

00:50:39is this seriously your reaction jolene's hospitalized and you're standing here tossing out sarcastic comments

00:50:45and what exactly does her hospital stale have to do with me

00:50:48did i make her give away her umbrella or did i physically send her into the storm

00:50:52you and honestly if she were sick enough to be hospitalized

00:50:56would she really have the energy to publicize it to the entire school

00:51:00i i asked her personally great tell me which hospital she's at

00:51:05i'll arrange for top clear specialists to check on her

00:51:08i begin dialing and page immediately panics

00:51:12no you don't have to do that jolene said she only needs rest

00:51:19how did you figure out she was faking

00:51:21i've watched her pull the same act more times than i can count

00:51:26on the weekend claudian asks me to go shopping with her

00:51:31we pause in front of dessert shop

00:51:34across from a famous brand boutique

00:51:36jolene is there too

00:51:41oh look who it is katherine fancy seeing you here

00:51:44shopping too huh what's the matter

00:51:47didn't expect to see you in a place like this

00:51:49this isn't some place for just anyone

00:51:52bet that ice cream cost you half a day's wages

00:51:54jolene steps forward and accidentally splashes her coffee onto my white dress

00:52:01oh no katherine i'm so sorry i tripped i didn't mean to

00:52:06i look down at the stains on my dress my eyes turning cold

00:52:13do you even know how much this dress costs it's just a dress i can buy you a new one

00:52:21she pulls two hundred dollars and tosses them at me

00:52:26use this to get yourself a new one i look at the ice cream in my hand

00:52:35and press it onto jolene's face

00:52:39oops sorry my hand just slipped it's just a little mess

00:52:43a quick wipe and you'll be fine jolene screams

00:52:49what on earth are you doing are you crazy

00:52:53anne steps out of the fitting room and gasps at jolene's appearance

00:53:02jolene what on earth happened to you

00:53:06mom it's all my fault i accidentally spilled coffee on katherine's dress

00:53:12i've already paid her back but she's acting like it's not enough

00:53:21katherine why are you picking on jolene again

00:53:26anne pulls a thick wad of cash from her purse

00:53:31katherine don't push this further if it's money you want apologize to jolene

00:53:36not nearly enough

00:53:39yes this is our anniversary edition it retails for 180 000 and is completely sold out

00:53:46either pay me three times its value or i'll report this as intentional property damage to the police

00:53:54who said we wouldn't compensate she reluctantly writes a check

00:53:58thank you take it this is like burning money

00:54:02next time i won't bother negotiating i'll go straight to the police i feel a deep satisfying

00:54:08pleasure 540 000 that's going to sting for a while back in the brown family i let you walk all

00:54:15over me

00:54:15i swallowed every insult not anymore from now on every single debt gets paid back with interest

00:54:23after the meal i wave goodbye to claudian at the restaurant's entrance

00:54:31i've only walked a short distance when a terrified scream cuts through the air

00:54:37help someone help is there a doctor here i turn towards the commotion and see a well-dressed woman

00:54:44kneeling beside an elderly woman who has collapsed i push through the crowd and kneel down to examine her

00:54:54her heart disease

00:54:55ma'am don't panic does she have a history of heart disease yes she has coronary heart disease

00:55:03i reach into my bag and pull out a small bottle of nitroglycerin pills

00:55:08i slide a tablet under her tongue and begin cpr

00:55:25after several long minutes the elderly woman lets out a faint groan paramedics arrive and take over

00:55:35very professional you've brought us precious time which hospital do you work at i have to thank you

00:55:42properly

00:55:47i'm still a student helping people is just something i have to do

00:55:57i quietly gather my things and slip away while the crowd watches with admiration

00:56:02the next morning i intentionally leave home early but the browns are already lying in wait at the school

00:56:08entrance

00:56:10katherine

00:56:13jolene plunges to hug me but i smoothly dodge her

00:56:18katherine come home with me your grandmother's back and wants to see you

00:56:26sorry but i don't really know you people we don't have time for your nonsense you're coming home with us

00:56:31today

00:56:34since it's the busiest time for students arriving a bunch of curious students have already stopped to watch

00:56:43a sleek black bentley eases to a stop right beside us

00:56:47the window lowers smoothly and liam's sharply contoured face comes into view

00:56:55katherine get in the car

00:57:02i've got class in a few minutes what brings you here so early

00:57:07they didn't bother you did they no they're irrelevant i'm heading in

00:57:15and without waiting for his response i simply turn and leave

00:57:22the browns erupt the moment i brush past them like they're strangers on the street

00:57:26are we seriously letting that girl walk all over us

00:57:30she might ignore us but someone else can get through to her

00:57:34she won't dare skip her grandmother's birthday banquet

00:57:39she'll show up for that after my classes wrap up i head home

00:57:43ready to relax until my phone starts buzzing in my pocket

00:57:50katherine i'm sending you an address come eat with us they've got all your favorites and there's a

00:57:55surprise for you too i hop into a cab take the elevator up and text jared

00:58:06the elevator doors slide open and i walk out my eyes glued to my phone

00:58:13before i can take two steps a hand suddenly pulls me aside

00:58:39running after declin like always declin drop the ego i'm here for someone else you don't even make

01:00:58move back to the gemstone in its wooden box it would make a clean elegant birthday gift

01:01:03the night of amelia's birthday banquet has come the brown estate glows with extravagant decorations

01:01:13i stroll in wearing simple casual clothes jolene drifts graciously through the guests in a blush

01:01:19pink couture gown low whispers swirl around the gathered guests about how shabby i look

01:01:26laurence's and anna's expressions grow cold and tense isn't that the one who broke ties with the browns

01:01:32and she just shows up to grandma's birthday like that

01:01:37wild or not she's stunning

01:01:41those sharp features in that presence can't be ignored jolene steps forward her smile dazzling and

01:01:48perfectly practiced grandma happy birthday i know how much you adore gemstones so i asked

01:01:55the auction house to find something really special for you a rare warm gem

01:02:03and you katherine what did you bring i reach into my black bag and pull out a small wooden box

01:02:12as i open the lid the room falls deathly silent nestled inside is another gemstone

01:02:22to give grandma a fake that's just disrespectful katherine fake

01:02:28katherine don't you realize how humiliating this is for our family

01:02:34amid the crowd's murmurs and accusations i stay composed

01:02:44you say mine's a fake on what proof maybe yours is the counterfeit isn't it obvious this gem is

01:02:52incredibly rare there can't be two exactly the same

01:02:59mine's been authenticated by several experts it's the real deal a knowing smile curves my lips

01:03:07as i bring my gem up and lightly press it against an aliyah's wrist this is it

01:03:14they say a genuine warm gem changes color depending on its wearer's vitality it's a unique almost

01:03:19magical trait why don't we test jolene's gem the same way she tried to pin it on katherine when it

01:03:28was her own gift that was false that's impossible i paid 10 million for this at the luxurious auction

01:03:34house i even have the receipt and certificate to prove it pulling out her phone she quickly dials

01:03:39the number what she hears makes her eyes widened in shock just then someone glances at their phone

01:03:45and blurts out the luxurious auction house director got hooked on gambling jolene stumbles backward

01:03:52dropping her phone with a loud clatter today is my birthday celebration let's put an end to this now

01:03:59jolene acted with good intentions but was misled for the very first time anala looks at me without

01:04:05that usual air of disappointment you know katherine i actually like this

01:04:25i'm sorry about everything that went down earlier

01:04:30i'm okay you only stop feeling hurt when you stop expecting anything from anyone

01:04:37not long after friends call justina away

01:04:41a maid makes her way around offering champagne when she gets to me i decline

01:04:48the maid hurries away and comes back moments later holding a glass of juice

01:04:53i study the juice for a moment i lift the glass and drink it down in one steady guilt

01:04:58a few minutes pass before the same maid shows up again i'm so so sorry i didn't mean for this

01:05:05to happen

01:05:06she slips and the entire drink splashes across my outfit katherine i'm really sorry the staff can be a

01:05:14bit careless why don't you slip into one of my dresses i've got tons upstairs you can use the

01:05:18guest room to change wow the rules in this house are intriguing to say the least i hear every bit

01:05:23of the

01:05:24sarcasm sofia is practically mocking jolene who acts like she owns the place the maid exhales relieved beyond

01:05:31measure and hurries forward i start after her but pause to throw jolene one last look the maid leads me

01:05:38far inside the mansion to a guest room as soon as she leaves the door shuts quietly and i hear

01:05:44the lock

01:05:44slide into place i go over to check the window but it's stuck tight probably locked from the outside

01:05:52a strange warmth begins spreading under my skin i take a steady breath pull a small ceramic file from

01:06:00my pocket and swallow an antidote i had drunk the tampered juice simply because i wanted to see the

01:06:06full extent of jolene's trap a few moments later i hear faint uneven footsteps outside the door i lay down

01:06:19on the bed completely still and quiet the door creaks open slowly

01:06:27getting impatient huh don't worry sweetheart i'll take real good care of you but suddenly my eyes snap

01:06:36wide open the scream tears from him he crumples to the floor in an instant folding over and wrigling on

01:06:46the carpet i calmly step over him and shut the door behind me i ease into the corner just outside

01:06:53ready

01:06:54to watch not long after jolene appears sneaking cautiously down the hall she presses her ear against

01:07:03the door then pulls it wide open

01:07:14she barely has time to register it before the man lunges at her

01:07:21stay away get off me man pretty girl the other one took a heap but you you'll do just fine

01:07:29don't you

01:07:29dare touch me i'm a brown touch me and you're dead

01:07:36oh man yeah that just makes it way more interesting

01:07:43help help let me go

01:07:47after closing the door behind me i calmly make my way back to the banquet hall

01:07:52sophia who had earlier stood by my side approaches with a warm smile and extends her hand i'm sophia

01:07:59flynn how about we get better acquainted katherine brown it's a pleasure to meet you about 15 minutes

01:08:05later a sudden disturbance breaks out outside the banquet hall the crowd moves towards the guest room

01:08:13as they get closer heavy breathing and a woman's desperate screams reach their ears

01:08:21ann's face drains of color what are you waiting for get that door down now a few strong servants

01:08:28step up and smash the door open inside the shocking scene unfolds for everyone to see

01:08:36jolene her hair mussy and clothes rumpled is pinned down by an unfamiliar man

01:08:41seeing the crowd at the doorway she breaks down in tears mom it was katherine she tricked me she planned

01:08:49all of this

01:08:53despite the accusations i don't flinch jolene where are you getting this from the maid ruined my dress and

01:09:00you sent her to fetch me some clothes but i waited ages and no one came so i left when

01:09:04i left the room

01:09:06was empty i have no idea how you ended up here how could you be so heartless jolene is your

01:09:12sister

01:09:14i was with miss flynn in the banquet hall the entire time many guests can vouch for that how can

01:09:20you stoop

01:09:20to such tactics regarding jolene we'll have a chance to question the man soon enough

01:09:30what happened today was a private family matter anyone who breathes a word of it will be making

01:09:35an enemy of the brown family anne grabs her trembling daughter and practically drags jolene out the man is

01:09:41also hauled away what a night you handled that like a pro

01:09:54it was simply responding to what she started if she had stayed in her lane none of this would have

01:09:59happened

01:10:00time after time jolene tried to set me up did she really think i was still the same katherine

01:10:05who'd just take it lying down what happened tonight she brought it on herself

01:10:12morning sunlight pours in through the large window casting soft highlights across his sharp jawline

01:10:17mr warren warning let's get started without hesitation he reaches for the buttons of his shirt and pulls

01:10:23it up exposing his bare chest i slip into professional mode pick up my medical kit and move to his

01:10:30side

01:10:31need a hand handling the browns my hands work with practiced confidence

01:10:36not right now i've got it covered once the session wraps up i'm packing away my tools

01:10:43when liam slowly pushes off the sofa he stands steady clear-headed you're healing well

01:10:51you're really skilled at this thanks keep this up and one more session and you'll be good as new

01:10:56once i'm fully better what do you want in exchange you've already paid for the treatments but if i

01:11:03ever need help down the road i hope you'll remember the understanding we have today sounds fair just then

01:11:08a knock comes at the door and a maid enters sir mr cassius warren has arrived his tone turns icy

01:11:14in an

01:11:15instant the smile that had just been there disappears completely tell him to wait for me in the living room

01:11:19when i enter the living room a man in a dark gray suit glances my way he appears to be

01:11:26in his 50s

01:11:26sharing some resemblance with liam

01:11:33our eyes lock for a moment i simply give a small nod and exit smoothly

01:11:41the intense almost threatening look from that middle-aged man has set off warning bells in my mind

01:11:49i let out a soft sigh i deliberately instruct my driver to take several detours just to make

01:11:55sure no one is tailing me before finally heading back to my apartment

01:12:03no sooner have i settled in than my phone rings it's sophia hey katherine got a minute there's this

01:12:36the

01:12:36building just as i step into the lobby ready to catch the elevator up i bump on jolene

01:12:57katherine what are you doing here so you're here for the gala you have an invitation i hope whose

01:13:04little lap dog are you running wild and barking at everyone without a care excuse me who exactly are

01:13:13you insulting listen katherine you can't just waltz into this kind of event wearing a dress without a

01:13:20real invite you'll end up humiliated when security shows you the door come on katherine ready to head

01:13:27up let's not keep the others waiting don't pay her any mind the organizers gave me two invitations this

01:13:44year i smile back appreciating sophia's subtle way of handling things

01:14:03everyone meet my friend katherine brown i hope you'll look out for her from now on this gala really

01:14:09is slipping apparently just anyone can walk in now some people really try too hard as if showing up

01:14:15here will magically upgrade their pleas in society watch your mouth katherine is a brown have some

01:14:23respect please don't be harsh my sister doesn't attend events like this often she's just here to get

01:14:28some exposure don't go snapping photos willy-nilly if i see you flooding social media with our images just

01:14:36to boost your status i won't hesitate to sue

01:14:47if you want to play dirty i'll give you a front row seat your status comes from flaunting fake

01:14:54jewelries and what would a country girl like you possibly understand about jewelry

01:15:01that's maris core an iconic design by divina gemma from the 60s centered around a rare cushion cut

01:15:07diamond framed by a dozen emeralds the real necklace was sold at last year's veritas auction for 36

01:15:14million dollars bought anonymously i have to admit you've got an eye for quality it is lovely i'll give

01:15:22you that but the issue is that yours isn't authentic yes the center stone is about the right size but

01:15:28it's

01:15:28missing the clarity a genuine one would have they look like fresh lab made pieces you're talking

01:15:33nonsense my father gave this to me for my birthday janice don't let my sister get to you she's been

01:15:39out of touch for years she probably hasn't even seen jewelry of this caliber it's easy for her to

01:15:44misjudge i stay calm shifting my gaze to the other woman's wrist your bracelet actually has decent

01:15:50translucency but it's been chemically treated and filled with resin wearing that too long isn't good for

01:15:56your health just so you know the woman snatches her hand back going pale

01:16:03i turn to jolene your necklace is no better jolene those diamonds look fake too

01:16:11jolene's fingers shoot toward her ear but stop halfway the whole hall goes completely still

01:16:18that was savage you nailed that comeback perfectly

01:16:24i take a sip from my glass and feel not a trace of guilt fake jewelry fine wear it quietly

01:16:31and no one

01:16:32will say a word but you had to step on me to feel taller so don't blame me for exposing

01:16:37your fake

01:16:38jewelry just you wait i'm calling in a top jewelry expert right now be my guest relax janice it's a

01:16:49beautiful day there's no need to let some petty nonsense spoil it petty this isn't just about me

01:16:56wearing a fake she's insulting the honor of the whole lopez family

01:17:10the craftsmanship is extraordinary but something is off

01:17:14the cut and the color don't match the authentic mariscore

01:17:19miss lopez i'm afraid this necklace is indeed a replica what that can't be the craftsmanship is

01:17:28exceptionally convincing almost flawless but as miss brown pointed out the cutting style and the

01:17:33emerald shade reveal subtle differences impressive eye miss brown only the most skilled experts can

01:17:39detect such subtle distinctions may i ask who has been your teacher my mentor is langston moore

01:17:47so you are the esteemed protege of mr moore an honor to meet you at last your championship

01:17:53at the last international competition was truly well deserved no wonder she spotted the fake so easily

01:17:59she's langston moore's student

01:18:03that's the world's top jewelry appraiser the lopez family really embarrassed themselves today

01:18:09i can't stay here i can't let them see me like this

01:18:21catherine when did you pick all this up you never said a word about it to any of us

01:18:28there's a lot you don't know mostly because you never bothered to ask

01:18:36catherine what have you done to jolaine now i don't know what you're talking about austin i've been

01:18:39sitting here all night and jolaine hasn't said a word to me and i'm not the one who's been sending

01:18:43her all those blue roses austin shouldn't you find out what really happened first it's catherine

01:18:50who got wrong today what about miss lopez how could you upset her and make her cry you're going

01:18:55to the lopez residence right now to apologize apologize for what telling the truth and exposing janice

01:19:02fake jewelry in front of everyone what nonsense miss lopez wouldn't be caught dead wearing fakes you're

01:19:08just making up lies to slander her mr brown miss brown's assessment is absolutely right this marie's

01:19:14core necklace is a very well-made replica and her appraisal skills surpass even mine isn't austin

01:19:19being way too biased he's not even listening to the expert i heard the browns kicked out their own

01:19:24biological daughter to make room for that adopted girl jolene how ridiculous still you had no right to

01:19:31humiliate miss lopez like that in public our families have shared a close bond for generations did you ever

01:19:37stop to think about how damaging this could be for the brown group but what about when janus openly

01:19:41mocked me for being from the countryside when they all schemed together to humiliate me in front of

01:19:45everyone did anyone ever care how that felt have any of you truly treated me like family at all

01:19:49if not then i catherine and the browns are better off going our separate ways from this day forward

01:19:55sorry for the disruption and ruining everyone's good time i'll be taking my leave now

01:20:02the days passed quietly with nothing but my regular school routine and lab work jolene had

01:20:08kept an unusually low profile ever since the banquet not daring to provoke me again

01:20:17so many missed calls what's going on

01:20:23why are you answering aunt justina's phone what happened to her watch your tone with me you ungrateful

01:20:28brat i haven't even dealt with the mess you made thanks to you offending miss lopez the lopez group

01:20:33has just terminated all their cooperation with us you will find time to go to the lopez residence and

01:20:38apologize to miss lopez immediately keep dreaming you ungrateful little wolf if you refuse to listen

01:20:45to me are you planning to ignore your aunt's life and death situation too what happened to aunt justina

01:22:40dad's just worried about all those brown group shares katherine holds if she's not careful she could

01:22:45be taken advantage of which would cause huge problems that's why he wants to take this chance to get

01:22:51the shares back into the family's hands kathian my condition is severe and it probably would get

01:22:58better even if you sign the surgery might not work i come to accept that you should leave while you
