00:00:03Alex, please let me go with you. I really missed the Southern Acclaim.
00:00:08Of course, Victoria. You can take her spot.
00:00:11I spent six months and over $20,000 to plan a family vacation.
00:00:16However, when my mate's childhood sweetheart, Victoria, heard about our trip, she begged to join us.
00:00:22You'll be fine traveling alone. Don't make a big deal out of it.
00:00:25He canceled my spot in the protected convoy and gave it to her instead.
00:00:29He forced me to travel alone through deadly shadow-packed territory.
00:00:33A 36-hour journey where three wolves had died last month.
00:00:43The whole family supported Alexander's decision without a thought for my safety.
00:00:50So I changed my travel plans.
00:00:57I headed north instead of south.
00:01:01I spent three months enjoying myself.
00:01:07Ignoring their mind-link messages.
00:01:12That is when the family started to panic.
00:01:20Especially for mate-bond counseling.
00:01:22It was rare for my mate Alexander to take time off from his warrior duties.
00:01:26So I planned a family trip to the Northern Territories.
00:01:29My private practice brought in $50,000 monthly.
00:01:32Alexander's warrior salary barely reached $3,000.
00:01:35I spent six months choosing the safest routes and negotiating passage rights with other packs.
00:01:40The Northern Territories were notorious for being hostile to outside wolves.
00:01:45Each territory required separate permits, some charging up to $10,000 just for safe passage.
00:01:50Everyone else in the family just stood back while I handled everything.
00:01:54Alexander's parents lived in our villa's guest wing.
00:01:56They survived entirely on my income since retiring from pack duties.
00:02:00His teenage sister Emma had been my responsibility since she was 10.
00:02:03I didn't mind supporting them all.
00:02:05Seeing the family happy was worth any effort.
00:02:07My therapy practice was thriving.
00:02:12Wolves from all territories sought my services, especially for mate-bond counseling.
00:02:19I've never traveled with a protected convoy before.
00:02:22Is it really that dangerous?
00:02:24Don't worry, I upgraded everything.
00:02:26You'll be safe.
00:02:29The extra $15,000 was worth it for their safety.
00:02:38Then, just before departure, Alexander dropped his bombshell.
00:02:45Victoria heard about our trip and wants to join.
00:02:48The protected convoy is full now, so you'll have to go through the Shadow Packs territory alone.
00:02:52I've already arranged your passage permit.
00:02:55He sent me the travel document through our pack link.
00:02:58My blood ran cold when I saw the route.
00:03:03It went straight through the most dangerous part of Shadow Packs territory.
00:03:09Three wolves had been killed there just last month.
00:03:13What do you mean?
00:03:14This is supposed to be a family trip, and you're inviting Victoria?
00:03:17Of course.
00:03:18Victoria wanted to come, so naturally I had to include her.
00:03:22That's what I need with that.
00:03:27When my mother wanted to join us last week, what did you say?
00:03:30You said this was a pack-only trip, no outsiders.
00:03:34But the moment Victoria asks, you jumped to accommodate her?
00:03:39Victoria isn't like your mother.
00:03:41She's practically pack, more than pack.
00:03:43In my heart, she's always been family.
00:03:49I felt my claws threatening to emerge.
00:03:52Then why am I the one who has to travel alone?
00:03:54Those convoy spots were secured months ago.
00:03:56The convoy's full.
00:03:57I had to cancel your spot to make room for Victoria.
00:03:59You are strong.
00:04:00You can go through Shadow Pack territory on your own.
00:04:02Of all the routes, he'd chosen the deadliest one.
00:04:08So Victoria gets the protected convoy while I risk my life crossing hostile territory alone?
00:04:14You're always saying you want to explore other territories.
00:04:17Now's your chance.
00:04:26I look to James and Sarah, Alexander's parents whom I'd supported for years.
00:04:31Scarlet, dear.
00:04:33Victoria and Alexander grew up running the same hunting grounds.
00:04:37They have so many shared memories.
00:04:39Of course they should travel together.
00:04:41Just take the longer route and meet us there.
00:04:47Sister Scarlet, Victoria is delicate.
00:04:50She can't handle crossing Shadow Pack territory alone.
00:04:52You're strong and capable.
00:04:54You'll manage.
00:04:58Who's really pack here?
00:05:00An outsider gets treated better than your pack therapist?
00:05:03Your provider?
00:05:05Anyone would think Victoria was your true mate!
00:05:10It's just a different travel route.
00:05:12Stop making such a fuss.
00:05:14Victoria's family?
00:05:15She ran with us since we were pups.
00:05:17We can't make her cross hostile territory alone.
00:05:19Make this small sacrifice.
00:05:20Show what it means to be a proper mate.
00:05:26Scarlet.
00:05:27He held me so tight.
00:05:28You're mine.
00:05:36Victoria!
00:05:37I've been waiting forever!
00:05:39Come in!
00:05:39Come in!
00:05:40Come in!
00:05:44I've missed you so much.
00:05:45If only you hadn't left our territory back then.
00:05:47You could have been my real sister when you mated with Alexander.
00:05:55Exactly!
00:05:56I always saw you as my future daughter-in-law.
00:05:59In my heart, no one compares to you.
00:06:02No!
00:06:05They said this right in front of me, without a shred of shame.
00:06:09And Alexander, my mate, just stood there, watching it all happen.
00:06:16I suddenly remembered those nights.
00:06:18Scarlet.
00:06:20He held me so tight.
00:06:21You're mine.
00:06:23So tight that I truly thought he was afraid of losing me.
00:06:26But now, I understand, what he was afraid of losing was never me.
00:06:31It was the money in my pocket.
00:06:33No one noticed me.
00:06:34And then I made a decision.
00:06:36I will make every single one of them regret every word they said today.
00:06:40The pack almost collapsed six years ago.
00:06:42Our territory was raided.
00:06:44Our businesses destroyed.
00:06:45They didn't even say goodbye.
00:06:47Just disappeared one night.
00:06:48Victoria.
00:06:50How could she just leave like that?
00:06:53After everything we planned.
00:06:54I was the one who paid off the pack as $500,000 debt.
00:07:04I paid off the entire debt, Alex.
00:07:07The pack is safe now.
00:07:10You're my savior.
00:07:11Without you, I don't know where I'd be.
00:07:15You're the only one who stayed by my side.
00:07:17I'm so lucky to have you.
00:07:23From now on, I'll protect you with everything I have.
00:07:26You're my mate.
00:07:27My everything.
00:07:28Alexander only accepted me as his mate out of gratitude.
00:07:31The other warriors mocked him for it.
00:07:33Called him a gold digger.
00:07:36My therapy practice was thriving even then.
00:07:38I thought love would grow between us.
00:07:40I once believed love would slowly grow through years of companionship.
00:07:48Those nights, Alexander would return from patrol, still carrying the wild scent of the four.
00:07:53Emma had been my responsibility since she was 10.
00:07:56I cooked her meals, washed her clothes, drove her to training.
00:08:01I paid for her private tutors, $5,000 per month just for extra lessons.
00:08:08I bought her designer clothes, so she wouldn't feel inferior to other pack daughters.
00:08:20Now at 15, I'd raised her for five years.
00:08:24Sis, you're the only one who really cares about me.
00:08:27Thank you for everything.
00:08:38As for James and Sarah, I'd given them everything.
00:08:43You've been such a blessing to this family.
00:08:45I don't know what we would have done without you, dear.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:48You've taken better care of us than our own son ever did.
00:08:51We're really lucky.
00:08:52So I gave them $8,000 monthly for my therapy practice.
00:08:55I bought them a luxury SUV for easier mobility.
00:08:58I paid for their medical treatments.
00:09:00Sarah S. Arthritis, James Heart Condition.
00:09:03I paid the Villa S. $12,000 monthly mortgage.
00:09:07I hired cleaners, gardeners, and assistants to make their lives comfortable.
00:09:12It's nothing really.
00:09:13I just want you both to be comfortable.
00:09:15We're family.
00:09:16I wasn't so much their son's mate as their financial support.
00:09:20You work so hard every day.
00:09:23Come sit with me sometime.
00:09:25You deserve a break too.
00:09:26Even my therapy office building supplemented pack income.
00:09:29I rented space to pack businesses at discount rates.
00:09:32My client list included some of the most powerful wolves in three territories.
00:09:36Each therapy session brought in $1,000.
00:09:39I worked 60-hour weeks to support this family.
00:09:43After everything I'd done for this pack,
00:09:45they still treated an outsider better than me.
00:09:56Of course!
00:09:57Those shadow-packed wolves are dangerous!
00:09:59Victoria approached me, smirking.
00:10:02Her designer outfit probably cost more than Alexander made in two months.
00:10:05I'm so sorry, Sister Scarlet.
00:10:07If I'd known my joining would force you to travel through shadow-packed territory alone,
00:10:12I might have declined.
00:10:14I was going to step back, but Alexander insisted he had a solution.
00:10:19I offered to take the dangerous route myself,
00:10:22but Alexander wouldn't hear of me traveling alone through hostile territory.
00:10:26I hope you understand.
00:10:31Emma hung on Victoria's arm like a starved puppy.
00:10:36The same Emma I'd raised and spoiled for five years.
00:10:45Of course!
00:10:46Those shadow-packed wolves are dangerous!
00:10:48What if they targeted you?
00:10:54Unlike my sister, she looks so fierce.
00:10:58Like an angry she-wolf.
00:10:59Even robes would run from her.
00:11:10The pack-new shadow-packed territory was deadly.
00:11:13Three lone wolves killed last month.
00:11:15Two more missing.
00:11:16But they'd send their pack therapist, their provider,
00:11:19into that danger without a thought.
00:11:22How much do you bring to this family each month?
00:11:26That's uncalled for.
00:11:29Look, I know this isn't ideal, but what choice do we have?
00:11:35That high-end therapy office space you've been eyeing?
00:11:38Go ahead and lease it.
00:11:39Don't worry about the cost.
00:11:41$50,000.
00:11:42Now.
00:11:46That much?
00:11:48You should be grateful I'm letting you spend your own money!
00:11:51Don't push your luck!
00:11:53Since when do I need your permission to spend my own money?
00:11:59How much do you bring to this family each month?
00:12:03That's uncalled for.
00:12:05His monthly contribution was $3,000.
00:12:09Mine was $50,000.
00:12:12He didn't T-pay a mating gift,
00:12:14not counting the $500,000 pack debt I cleared.
00:12:18I brought $400,000 and the villa to our mating.
00:12:23The villa alone was worth $2 million.
00:12:27This family's comfortable life came from my therapy practice.
00:12:32Other pack members saw it.
00:12:34They whispered about the warrior who lived off his mate.
00:12:37Money, since they all preferred Victoria so much.
00:12:40Maybe she should support them instead.
00:12:43Let's see how long they last on a failed therapist.
00:12:46S-Income.
00:12:50Perform a soul-severing ritual on me.
00:12:53You want him to think you're dead?
00:12:55Yes.
00:12:58The full moon glared down at the birthing altar.
00:13:01A contraction ripped through me so hard my spine arched off the stone.
00:13:05Dominic squeezed my hand.
00:13:07Almost there, Selina.
00:13:08My mate, my alpha, bound to me by the union goddess herself.
00:13:12The pack priest walked in carrying a silver tray.
00:13:14I offered my arm for the pain relief.
00:13:16The needle pierced my skin.
00:13:17But it wasn't medicine.
00:13:19The pungent scent hit my nose.
00:13:20Wolf's bone.
00:13:21I looked at Dominic.
00:13:22He wasn't surprised.
00:13:23He was checking his watch.
00:13:25Vivian's water just broke.
00:13:27Delay her for two hours.
00:13:28Our true heir needs to be born first.
00:13:30He turned and walked away.
00:13:32Didn't look back.
00:13:33I tried to scream.
00:13:34I wanted my wolf to tear free and lunge after him.
00:13:36But the wolf's vein was already working.
00:13:38My wolf was dragged under.
00:13:40My voice died in my throat.
00:13:41And my pup halfway into the world stopped moving.
00:13:44Frozen inside me by her own father's command.
00:13:46Two pack guards dragged me down into the dungeon beneath the temple.
00:13:49A place for rogues, war prisoners.
00:13:50And wolves sentenced to death.
00:13:53Now it held the alpha's fated mate and his unborn child.
00:13:57A single rune lamp flickered on the wall.
00:13:59Straw on the floor.
00:14:00No bed.
00:14:01I slid down the freezing stone wall, hands clutching my belly.
00:14:04She was still kicking, faint, frantic.
00:14:07Mummy's here.
00:14:08Mummy's here.
00:14:09Three months ago, Dominic's older brother, Marcus, died in a territorial dispute.
00:14:20His mate Vivienne was carrying a boy.
00:14:22A pure-blood alpha heir.
00:14:23The only pup you could inherit.
00:14:25Mine was a girl.
00:14:26Girls couldn't inherit.
00:14:28The moment the ultrasound confirmed it, the entire Blackwood pack abandoned us both.
00:14:33Heels clicked down the corridor.
00:14:34Cassandra Blackwood.
00:14:35Dominic's sister.
00:14:36The pack beta.
00:14:41She stood outside the iron bars, twirling a silver dagger.
00:14:44The blade dragged along the bars, metal screeching.
00:14:47Selene.
00:14:48Don't blame my brother.
00:14:49Vivienne is carrying Marcus's post-morious son.
00:14:52A pure-blood alpha heir.
00:14:54The only pup in our generation who can inherit the alpha title.
00:14:57It doesn't matter how early you give birth.
00:14:59You're carrying a girl.
00:15:00Girls can't inherit.
00:15:02You know that.
00:15:03A contraction slammed into me.
00:15:04The wolfbane pushed the labor down.
00:15:06My body fought back.
00:15:08Two forces tore me apart from the inside.
00:15:10Get the priest.
00:15:11The baby is coming.
00:15:13Please.
00:15:14The wolfbane will last another three hours.
00:15:18Vivienne has already been taken to the birthing altar.
00:15:20You'll stay here and wait.
00:15:22If she starts howling, gag her.
00:15:24Don't let the noise reach upstairs.
00:15:26Don't scare Vivienne.
00:15:27Vivienne.
00:15:32Vivienne.
00:15:33I looked down.
00:15:35My dress was soaked in blood.
00:15:36Then I punched the cell door hard.
00:15:37Again and again.
00:15:38Until my skin split open.
00:15:40Somebody!
00:15:41Help!
00:15:41I'm in labor!
00:15:42Save my baby!
00:15:43Shut up.
00:15:44If it dies, that's its fate.
00:15:46A girl with no inheritance rights.
00:15:47Her death won't affect the pack.
00:15:50My blood-stained hands slid off the cell door.
00:15:53I collapsed into a pool of my own blood.
00:15:55This wasn't fate.
00:15:56Someone was murdering my child.
00:15:58Just as my vision began to blur, the heavy door crashed open.
00:16:02Dr. Holden, the pack doctor.
00:16:04The moment he saw me, all the colors drained from his face.
00:16:07Luna?
00:16:08What are you doing here?
00:16:09Domic said you were resting in the Moonstone Lounge.
00:16:11Fully dilated.
00:16:12Water broke.
00:16:13You're losing too much blood.
00:16:15The wolf of Spain is still suppressing your healing.
00:16:18Guards!
00:16:19The Luna is hemorrhaging!
00:16:21Only echoes answered.
00:16:22No one came.
00:16:23He tried his comm stone.
00:16:24Nothing.
00:16:25The dungeon's warding runes blocked all signals.
00:16:27Gritting his teeth, he scooped me up and ran.
00:16:29An aging beta carrying a bleeding woman up three flights of stone stairs.
00:16:33Every jolt sending agony through my pelvis.
00:16:36He burst onto the ground floor.
00:16:37Ran for the medical wing.
00:16:39Kicked open the door.
00:16:40And froze.
00:16:41He kicked open the door.
00:16:43And froze.
00:16:43Everything was gone.
00:16:45Stripped bare.
00:16:45Every Moonstone crystal, runestone, potion, gone.
00:16:48How?
00:16:50I checked inventory this afternoon.
00:16:52Cassandra strolled down the hall.
00:16:53Two Omega attendants followed behind her.
00:16:56We move to the third floor.
00:16:58Vivian's C-section is high risk.
00:16:59She needs the best resources.
00:17:01Her gaze drifted to me, drenched in blood, half-dead in Dr. Holden's arms.
00:17:05She smiled.
00:17:06I knew that smile.
00:17:07Six months ago, she'd worn it downtown, linking her arm through mine.
00:17:10Selena, you're the best Luna I've ever met.
00:17:13You're more like a real sister to me.
00:17:14The antique Moonstone necklace I gave her still rested against her collarbone.
00:17:18It glowed softly in the dim hallway and made her smile look monstrous.
00:17:22Dr. Holden laid me on a bare stone cot.
00:17:24He tore open every cabinet and drawer.
00:17:27Empty.
00:17:27Not a single herb.
00:17:28I'm sorry, Luna.
00:17:30I have nothing.
00:17:31Relax.
00:17:32Once Vivian is done, the supplies will be returned.
00:17:35What's the rush?
00:17:36Her gaze dropped to my belly.
00:17:38Besides.
00:18:08I'll see you next time.
00:18:38I'll see you next time.
00:18:39Stop messing around, Savina.
00:18:41Vivian isn't doing well.
00:18:43The baby's heart rate dropped twice.
00:18:45Cassandra moved the stone closer, making sure the screen clearly showed my dying form.
00:18:48But look, she's bleeding a lot.
00:18:50Doesn't she look like she's dying?
00:18:51Tell her to wait.
00:18:52Once Vivian is done, I'll send a priest down.
00:18:54Cassandra pocketed the stone.
00:18:56You heard him?
00:18:57Vivian is the priority.
00:18:58Marcus' son is the priority.
00:19:00You were nothing.
00:19:00I closed my eyes, stopped looking at her.
00:19:03My hand crept behind my back, fingers finding the tiny raised bump on my left hip.
00:19:07It looked like a mole.
00:19:08It wasn't.
00:19:09A blood seal rune.
00:19:10My father had carved it into my skin on my wedding day with his own alpha blood.
00:19:13His voice echoed in my head.
00:19:15Selena, the waters in the Blackwood family may run deeper than you know.
00:19:18If the day ever comes when you need help, bite your finger and let one drop of blood
00:19:22fall on this rune.
00:19:23No matter where you are, someone will reach you within 30 minutes.
00:19:26I had laughed and pushed his hand away.
00:19:28Dad, you're being dramatic.
00:19:30Dominic treats me so well.
00:19:31I'm his mate.
00:19:32The moon goddess chose him for me.
00:19:34How could he ever hurt me?
00:19:36My father had been silent for a long time.
00:19:38Then he only said one thing.
00:19:40The moon goddess binds the souls, Selena.
00:19:42But she doesn't bind the heart.
00:19:44I was such a fool.
00:19:45Blood welled on my fingertip.
00:19:46I let it fall on the rune.
00:19:5030 minutes.
00:19:51I looked at the blood pooling beneath me.
00:19:53My baby's heartbeat was still there.
00:19:55Hold on.
00:19:55Please hold on.
00:19:56The wolf's bane suppression broke.
00:19:57Every contraction that had been held back for hours hit at once.
00:20:00Like a damn collapsing wave.
00:20:02After wave.
00:20:03Faster.
00:20:03Harder.
00:20:04I screamed.
00:20:04The sound ricocheted off stone walls.
00:20:06An omega attendant rushed in, checked me, and went white.
00:20:10Fully dilated.
00:20:11The head's crowning.
00:20:12Hemorrhage.
00:20:12We need moonstone crystals.
00:20:13Healing rooms.
00:20:13Anything.
00:20:14Cassandra didn't even step into the room.
00:20:16Then let them die.
00:20:17It's just a girl.
00:20:19Completely useless.
00:20:21Alive.
00:20:21She's a waste of space.
00:20:24Dead.
00:20:24Changes nothing.
00:20:25She turned and walked away.
00:20:27The attendant tried.
00:20:28But I had no blood left.
00:20:29No strength.
00:20:30No wolf.
00:20:30My muscles wouldn't obey me.
00:20:32The baby was stuck in the birth canal.
00:20:33I could feel her heartbeat getting weaker.
00:20:35Slower fading.
00:20:36My vision went black.
00:20:37I am sorry baby.
00:20:38Mommy tried.
00:20:39A deafening wolf howl tore through the night.
00:20:41The entire Blackwood territory shook.
00:20:44The protective wards flared violently across the walls.
00:20:46Then shattered.
00:20:47A booming blast rocked the building.
00:20:49Centuries of Blackwood enchantments.
00:20:51Destroyed in seconds.
00:20:52Moonlight flooded the room.
00:20:54In that silver light stood a massive man in tactical combat gear.
00:20:59He ripped off his helmet.
00:21:01Battle scarred face.
00:21:02Cold silver eyes.
00:21:04Eyes that had witnessed countless massacres and never flinched.
00:21:06But the moment they found me, they turned bloodshot.
00:21:09Garrett.
00:21:10My father's head better.
00:21:11The man who caught me every time I fell learning to walk.
00:21:13Who shifted into wolf form and slept beside my bed when I was afraid of the dark.
00:21:18Who stood at the very back of my wedding, silent, jaw locked, eyes red.
00:21:21Because he already knew.
00:21:22He crossed the room in one stride and dropped to one knee.
00:21:25The stone floor cracked under the impact.
00:21:27Princess.
00:21:29I am late.
00:21:31Behind him stood twelve heavily armored warriors.
00:21:33Silver eyes.
00:21:34Weapons drawn.
00:21:35The elite shadow fanguard.
00:21:36Blackwood guards lay unconscious in the hall.
00:21:38The Omega attendants screamed.
00:21:40This is Blackwood territory!
00:21:41Who are you?
00:21:42How did you get it?
00:21:43Garrett didn't look at her.
00:21:44He was already lifting me off the cot, one arm beneath my knees.
00:21:47The other cradling my head, as gently as if I were made of glass.
00:21:50Blackwood?
00:21:52Soon, there won't be a Blackwood.
00:21:54The shadow fang warriors moved with terrifying efficiency.
00:21:57From the moment the captain picked me up to the second,
00:21:59I was loaded into an armored pack ambulance waiting just outside the borders.
00:22:03Barely four minutes had passed.
00:22:04Four minutes I had bled in that dungeon for hours, begging for help and no one came.
00:22:08Shadow fang shattered the territory's defenses and extracted me in four minutes.
00:22:12Inside the medical transport, emergency moonstone rays flared to life, bathing my body in pure silver light.
00:22:18Blood pressure critically low!
00:22:19Blood loss exceeds the lethal threshold by three times!
00:22:22Fetal distress is severe!
00:22:23Heart rate is under 60 and dropping!
00:22:25We must perform an emergency C-section right now!
00:22:28But her vitals can't handle surgery!
00:22:29Do it!
00:22:30The captain's roar rattled the walls of the ambulance.
00:22:33Every medic flinched.
00:22:34He gripped my hand, his knuckles white, veins bulging up his forearms.
00:22:38I'll take full responsibility!
00:22:39Cut her open!
00:22:42I finally got the rarest magic core for you!
00:22:46You've worked hard.
00:22:59After rebirth, I abandoned the mighty phoenix as my magical pet.
00:23:02Instead, chose an almost dead little black snake in my past life.
00:23:06I'd hunted rare ingredients for phoenix.
00:23:08Pouring every resource I had into his growth, he cheated with my sister behind my back.
00:23:12Finally, to make their little love story easier, they killed me together.
00:23:14This time around, I wanted to see how that perfect couple managed without me as their stepping stone.
00:23:19The same packed ceremony.
00:23:20The same standout.
00:23:21Undeniably that golden phoenix.
00:23:23Even caged with a suppression collar, he held his head high, like the rest of us were beneath him.
00:23:27As expected, the ceremony elder assigned him to me.
00:23:30The phoenix tilted its head back and rolled its eyes.
00:23:32Just like in its previous life.
00:23:34Its face full of disdain.
00:23:35That was when my sister Evelyn walked in, cradling a limp little black snake in her palms.
00:23:39Tears rolling down her cheeks.
00:23:41My sister was too weak.
00:23:42Phoenix fell in love with her pitiful appearance immediately.
00:23:44Which made me look like the villain standing between them.
00:23:47The ceremony elder shifted awkwardly and turned on Evelyn.
00:23:49Your power isn't strong enough.
00:23:51Even if the phoenix is drawn to you now, you won't be able to handle him.
00:23:55She didn't react.
00:23:56Instead, pretended to be scared by my gaze.
00:23:58Bit her lip with tears down.
00:23:59Lila, I know I have no right to compete with you.
00:24:01It's just...
00:24:02I've never seen a golden phoenix before.
00:24:05I didn't have the patience to listen to her feigned weakness.
00:24:07I reached out and lifted the limp black snake from her hands.
00:24:10Smiled at the ceremony elder.
00:24:11I've taken a liking to this one.
00:24:13The phoenix clearly doesn't want me.
00:24:15Why not let her have him?
00:24:16I'll take the snake.
00:24:17The others thought I'd lost my mind.
00:24:18They pulled me aside.
00:24:20You're the strongest here.
00:24:21This black snake has a mixed bloodline.
00:24:23He's basically worthless.
00:24:24But I knew the truth about that phoenix.
00:24:30I fought with wild dogs for food and prayed to them.
00:24:33But it was useless.
00:24:34And in the end, I still died.
00:24:36I was Manhattan's most spoiled heiress.
00:24:38Until my award-winning actor brother sent me to a reality show called Rich Girls Reformed.
00:24:43I slept in a pig pen covered in manure for three months, fighting dogs for scraps of food.
00:24:48Any resistance meant being dunked in water tanks or worse, electroshock.
00:24:53The only thing keeping me alive was the mute old man who delivered the meals.
00:24:57He'd snuck me medicine, listened to me cry, and begged my brother to save me.
00:25:01He even promised to help me escape.
00:25:03I swore that once I got out, I'd tell my brother I'd learned my lesson.
00:25:07Until that day, when my high fever triggered a heart attack and I collapsed in the mud, convulsing.
00:25:12I saw the mute old man I'd clung to as my lifeline reach up and tear off his mud-caked
00:25:17wig and mask, revealing my fiancé's face.
00:25:20This is what you get for drugging Sophia, even if it was just a laxative thing.
00:25:26These three months in the pig pet should make up for the scare you gave her.
00:25:29Director, cut the cameras.
00:25:30Sophia says she can't bear watching me act and suffer.
00:25:33She feels bad.
00:25:34I watched my fiancé walk away with his arm around the scholarship girl.
00:25:38My heart stopped beating.
00:25:39Sophia finally got what she wanted.
00:25:41From the moment we met, she made it clear.
00:25:44Girls like me didn't deserve what we were born into.
00:25:47Too rich.
00:25:47Too spoiled.
00:25:49Too empty-headed, in her words.
00:25:51One day, she said, she would take it all.
00:25:53And she did.
00:25:54It didn't take schemes or grand plans.
00:25:56Just two years of quiet performances.
00:25:59A stumble here.
00:26:00A trembling voice there.
00:26:01A well-timed tear.
00:26:03Every time, it ended the same.
00:26:04My brother at her side.
00:26:06My fiancé just behind him.
00:26:08Both looking at me like I was something rotten.
00:26:10All she ever had to do was make it seem like I hurt her.
00:26:13And really, who would believe otherwise?
00:26:15A rich heiress bullied by a scholarship girl who was gentle and hardworking?
00:26:20Of course not.
00:26:21In their eyes, it could only ever be the other way around.
00:26:24I floated above, looking down at myself lying in the filth, covered in pig shit, fingernails caked with mud.
00:26:30Cut!
00:26:32Perfect!
00:26:33Absolutely perfect!
00:26:34That dying look in her eyes is incredible!
00:26:37Quick, get a close-up!
00:26:38A dozen cameras instantly zoomed in on my face.
00:26:41A pair of fancy leather shoes stopped beside my face.
00:26:44Lucas Carter, my fiancé.
00:26:46All right, stop pretending.
00:26:47The director called cut.
00:26:48Why are you still lying there?
00:26:49Getting addicted to acting?
00:26:50The corpse swayed with the force of his nudge, but didn't respond.
00:26:54Lucas frowned, then crouched down to check if I was still breathing.
00:26:57What the heck?
00:27:00Vivian, are you holding your breath this long just to get sympathy?
00:27:04Looks like these three months in the pigpen weren't wasted.
00:27:06Your lung capacity's really improved.
00:27:08I'm not pretending!
00:27:09Lucas, I'm actually dead!
00:27:11Look at me!
00:27:14Don't be so harsh on her.
00:27:18She worked really hard this time to make it up to me.
00:27:21Look at her makeup.
00:27:22So dirty.
00:27:23If you didn't know better, you'd think she actually lived in the countryside.
00:27:26Applause came from your vibe.
00:27:28My brother, award-winning actor Ethan Ashford, emerged from behind the monitors.
00:27:33Not bad.
00:27:35These three months weren't wasted.
00:27:37Use this fake death scene in the trailer.
00:27:39Title it, The Mean Girl's Repentance.
00:27:43This final scene, she acted better than she ever has before.
00:27:46I almost believed it.
00:27:48Ethan, this isn't acting.
00:27:51I'm really in pain.
00:27:52I'm really...
00:27:53Really dead!
00:27:55Mr. Ashford, should we...
00:27:57Wake Miss Ashford now?
00:27:59Don't let her bring those filthy clothes into my car.
00:28:01It's disgusting.
00:28:03Sophia hasn't been feeling well lately.
00:28:04She can't handle the smell.
00:28:06Then, find a trash bag.
00:28:08Throw her in the trunk.
00:28:09Since she likes playing dead so much, let her play dead all the way home.
00:28:12At least it'll spare me from listening to her fake crying.
00:28:15Yes, sir.
00:28:16I watched two stagehands lift my stiff corpse and stuff it into a trash bag.
00:28:20Lucas was wiping raindrops from Sophia's hair.
00:28:23He didn't look at me once.
00:28:24The trunk slammed shut.
00:28:25The car started.
00:28:26A trail of blood silently drenched the bag.
00:28:29I floated nearby, almost wanting to laugh.
00:28:32I remembered when I was 18, I accidentally bumped my head in the car.
00:28:35Ethan didn't say a word.
00:28:36He snatched the sick part.
00:28:38He'd said,
00:28:39Why keep something that hurt our Vivian?
00:28:41But now, my corpse was being knocked around in the trunk.
00:28:43Ethan, were you acting back then, too?
00:28:46Or is it that once Sophia appeared, your own sister deserved to be thrown away like this?
00:28:51Ethan, do you think Vivian will be mad at us for putting her in the trunk when she wakes up?
00:28:55Ethan drove, with a cold snort.
00:28:57She doesn't get a choice.
00:29:00Once we're home, I have ways to keep her from throwing a tantrum.
00:29:03Tomorrow's apology press conference is already arranged.
00:29:06If she dares to mess it up, I'll send her right back to these mountains for another three months.
00:29:11She'd better know her place.
00:29:14Sophia was hospitalized for three days because of that laxative.
00:29:17These three months of suffering barely make up for it.
00:29:20I floated above the car, watching these three people.
00:29:22I never put laxatives in that drink.
00:29:25Sophia stole my heart medication, then accused me of trying to poison her.
00:29:28No one believed me, and I can't explain anymore.
00:29:31The car bumped along the road, my corpse rattling in the trunk the whole way.
00:29:35Ethan got out without calling the servants.
00:29:37He opened the trunk and grabbed the trash bag with one hand, dragging it out.
00:29:41My head hit each step as he dragged me up the stairs.
00:29:44My soul trembled.
00:29:45I reached out to protect my head.
00:29:48Ethan, be gentle!
00:29:50That's my head!
00:29:52Really heavy.
00:29:53Playing dead pretty thoroughly.
00:29:55Not making a sound.
00:29:56He dragged the trash bag into the living room and dropped it on the rug.
00:29:59The zipper opened, revealing my mud-covered face.
00:30:02Eyes closed, lips purple.
00:30:04Get up and wash yourself off.
00:30:05Don't dirty the carpet.
00:30:07Is she really unconscious?
00:30:08Her face looks so scary.
00:30:11That's special effects makeup.
00:30:13Weren't you there on set?
00:30:14She fakes passing out all the time to get out of work.
00:30:16The doctor said she's in perfect health.
00:30:18This level of cold won't kill her.
00:30:19Ethan lost his patience.
00:30:20He walked over to the thermostat and turned it down to the lowest setting.
00:30:24Want to play dead?
00:30:24Then lie there.
00:30:25No one gives her a blanket tonight.
00:30:27Let's see how long she can keep it up.
00:30:28With that, all three went to their rooms,
00:30:31leaving only the cold air blowing over my corpse.
00:30:33I floated in midair, looking at my body lying alone on the floor,
00:30:37watching the lividity spread across my neck and the back of my arms.
00:30:41Early in the morning, the Ashford family's styling team arrived.
00:30:44Today was the apology press conference Ethan had arranged for me,
00:30:47live-streamed to the whole country.
00:30:49The makeup artist touched my hand.
00:30:51Oh, Jesus!
00:30:52So cold!
00:30:53She looked at Sophia.
00:30:55Miss White, Miss Ashford's temperature?
00:30:56Is she really okay?
00:30:57Oh, she spent three months freezing in the mountains.
00:31:00Of course she's cold.
00:31:01Plus she trained herself to withstand cold for the pathetic effect.
00:31:05Don't make a fuss.
00:31:06Just put more blush on her.
00:31:08That complexion is awful.
00:31:09But these purple marks on her skin...
00:31:11Those are bruises from falling in the mountains.
00:31:14Cover them with foundation.
00:31:15Today's theme is rebirth.
00:31:17Don't let people see her looking like a corpse and embarrass the Ashford family.
00:31:20The makeup artist didn't dare argue.
00:31:22She grabbed concealer and started smearing it on my face.
00:31:24I watched from the side, finding it almost funny.
00:31:27Concealer could cover lividity, but not the smell of death.
00:31:30This outfit reeks.
00:31:32Change her clothes.
00:31:33Put her in this one.
00:31:34It was the style Sophia had rejected.
00:31:35A size too small.
00:31:37Two assistants came over to help change my clothes.
00:31:39But there was a problem.
00:31:40Because of rigor mortis, my limbs were stiff.
00:31:43Mr. Ashford, Miss Ashford is too stiff.
00:31:45She won't cooperate.
00:31:46Like, she is dead.
00:31:49She won't cooperate.
00:31:51We can't bend her arms.
00:31:52Ethan's face darkened.
00:31:54Vivian!
00:31:54How long are you going to keep this up?
00:31:56Won't even put on clothes?
00:31:57Do you want to apologize naked?
00:31:58The corpse naturally didn't answer him.
00:32:00Lucas frowned and strode over.
00:32:02Since she wants to be stubborn, don't blame me for not being gentle.
00:32:06He grabbed my stiff left arm and yanked it out.
00:32:09I floated in midair, instinctively clutching my arm and screaming.
00:32:13Then I remembered.
00:32:15I was dead.
00:32:15My body couldn't feel pain anymore.
00:32:20Strong grip.
00:32:21Playing the virtual murder?
00:32:23Hurry up and dress her!
00:32:24The assistants trembled as they pulled the pink dress onto my corpse.
00:32:27To hide the twisted arm, it folded my hands across my abdomen.
00:32:30After all the manipulation, I'd been handled like a doll with no dignity.
00:32:34Lipstick covered my purple lips.
00:32:36Foundation hid my pallard.
00:32:37A ribbon bow concealed the dog collar marks on my neck.
00:32:40That's better.
00:32:41Looks like these three months weren't wasted.
00:32:43Knocked that nasty temper right out of her.
00:32:46As long as she doesn't talk, she's still the good little sister she used to be.
00:32:50When we get to the venue, if you dare mess up or say the wrong thing, I'll make sure you
00:32:55spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.
00:32:57Don't worry, Ethan.
00:32:58I'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life anyway.
00:33:01And I'll never speak again.
00:33:02Let's go.
00:33:03Don't keep the reporters waiting.
00:33:04The sunlight was blinding, but I felt no warmth.
00:33:06The ballroom backstage was packed with reporters.
00:33:09Sophia had changed into a white haute couture gown.
00:33:12She had the makeup artist give her a pitiful victim look.
00:33:14While Ethan and Lucas were schmoozing with the media, Sophia walked over to my wheelchair.
00:33:19Vivian, you're so quiet today.
00:33:21I like it.
00:33:22Didn't you love calling me a bitch before?
00:33:24Why so quiet now?
00:33:25Running out of energy?
00:33:27Don't worry.
00:33:27There's an even bigger surprise waiting for you on stage.
00:33:30Seeing no reaction from me, Sophia pouted.
00:33:32You can really take it.
00:33:34But I guess you should behave.
00:33:35You're about to lose your engagement anyway.
00:33:37Lose my engagement?
00:33:38I jerked my head up to look at Lucas.
00:33:40He was standing in the spotlight, turning to say something to Ethan.
00:33:43I floated over and heard it clear.
00:33:44Today's perfect.
00:33:46With a live stream, the whole country can witness it.
00:33:49I'm cutting this stain loose, completely.
00:33:51Ethan was silent for a moment, glancing at me in the corner.
00:33:54She brought this on herself.
00:33:55Can't blame anyone else.
00:33:56My soul felt that sharp pain again.
00:33:58So, in your minds, I'm not even worth a title.
00:34:01I don't even deserve basic human dignity.
00:34:03Three, two, one, action.
00:34:06The spotlight came on.
00:34:07I was wheeled onto the stage.
00:34:09Because I was strapped in, I sat perfectly straight.
00:34:11That's the Rashford Heiress?
00:34:12She looks like a model.
00:34:13Heard she slept in a pig pen for three months, probably brain damaged.
00:34:17They say she was so arrogant before, even drugged the scholarship girl.
00:34:19Those vicious whispers drilled into my ears, every single one.
00:34:22Ethan picked up the microphone, his face full of regret.
00:34:25Ladies and gentlemen of the press, everyone online, hello.
00:34:28I'm Ethan Ashford.
00:34:29Today's live stream has only one purpose.
00:34:32Repentance.
00:34:32My sister Vivian, out of jealousy and selfishness, caused tremendous harm to our company's artist,
00:34:36Sophia White.
00:34:37After three months of reconformation, she's deeply recognized her mistakes.
00:34:41Today, she's here in front of the entire country to apologize to Sophia.
00:34:44The comments exploded.
00:34:45Ethan Ashford standing up to family.
00:34:47So inspiring.
00:34:48This is proper elite family discipline.
00:34:50Ethan turned around, walked up to me, blocking half the cameras.
00:34:54With his back to the audience, he hissed.
00:34:56Stop playing dead.
00:34:59Speak.
00:35:00Tell everyone what you did wrong.
00:35:02I didn't respond.
00:35:03So he reached out and pinched the soft flesh of my arm.
00:35:06The corpse swayed with the force.
00:35:08Ethan, don't be like this.
00:35:09She's probably too ashamed to speak.
00:35:10It's okay.
00:35:11I forgive her.
00:35:12She picked up a glass of red wine and forced it into my broken hand.
00:35:18Vivian, drink this.
00:35:19And we'll still be sisters.
00:35:21The wine glass tilted.
00:35:23Wine's going onto my dress.
00:35:24I'm sorry.
00:35:26Sophia looked hurt toward the camera.
00:35:27I guess she still won't forgive me.
00:35:30Too much.
00:35:31Sophia's being so humble and she's still putting on airs.
00:35:33This woman's hopeless.
00:35:34Mr. Ashford, send her to a psych room.
00:35:37Lucas took the microphone and strode to center stage, standing beside my wheelchair.
00:35:42Since Ms. Ashford insists on protesting with silence, I don't need to save face for you anymore.
00:35:48He pulled a velvet box from his pocket.
00:35:50For a moment, my heart flickered with hope.
00:35:53Was it our engagement ring?
00:35:54He opened the box.
00:35:55Inside was a brand new pink diamond ring.
00:35:58Lucas turned around and in front of me, in front of tens of millions of viewers online,
00:36:02he knelt on one knee before Sophia.
00:36:05Ms. Sophia White, for the past three years, you've been by my side.
00:36:09Your kindness, your purity, that's what the lady of the Carter family should be like.
00:36:15This vicious, unrepentant woman who only knows how to put on an act doesn't deserve to enter the Carter family.
00:36:20Every word lashed my soul.
00:36:22He stood beside my corpse and proposed to another woman.
00:36:26He trampled my dignity into the dirt in front of the entire country, then ground it in deeper.
00:36:32The reporter started chanting.
00:36:34Lucas pulled out the simple engagement ring that had been mine.
00:36:37He casually tossed it.
00:36:38Clang!
00:36:39The ring fell into a nearby trash can.
00:36:41From today on, Sophia is my only fiancée.
00:36:44He took Sophia's hand and slid the pink diamond onto her finger.
00:36:47Then, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
00:36:51Three years ago, Lucas had knelt in the snow for three days and nights to propose to me.
00:36:58Vivian, this ring is my life.
00:37:00Once you wear it, my life belongs to you.
00:37:03Turns out your life is pretty worthless.
00:37:05After Sophia came along, you kept saying I'd changed.
00:37:08But I didn't change.
00:37:09You just gave her all the patience and love you used to give me.
00:37:12The ring in the trash, along with the Lucas who once said he loved me, both rotting here together.
00:37:16The number of online users is still rising and has already broken the platform record.
00:37:20The live stream had broken the platform's record for viewership.
00:37:23Hairpash Carter Luca Public.
00:37:24Hairpash when Kuj refuses to apology.
00:37:26Ash when Sophia White takes over.
00:37:28All three hashtags instantly dominated the top trending topics.
00:37:38Move! Everyone move!
00:37:40Get out of my way!
00:37:42It was Dr. William, the Ashford family doctor who'd watched me grow up.
00:37:46Dr. William, what are you doing here?
00:37:48Mrs. Ashford!
00:37:49She told me to check on Vivian!
00:37:51Why hasn't she moved at all?
00:37:52Is she sick?
00:37:53Sick?
00:37:54What sick?
00:37:55She's just pretending to sleep.
00:37:56I've seen this attention-seeking act a thousand times.
00:38:00Dr. William, don't let her fool you.
00:38:03Give her a shot and make her get up right now.
00:38:05Lucas, with his arm around Sophia, added,
00:38:07Perfect timing, Dr. William.
00:38:09Expose her act in front of everyone and let them see just how shameless this Miss Ashford can be
00:38:14clinging to an engagement.
00:38:16Dr. William froze, staring at the figure in the wheelchair.
00:38:19His face changed.
00:38:20I need to examine her first.
00:38:22Under pressure from Ethan and Lucas,
00:38:24Dr. William had no choice but to walk shakily onto the stage.
00:38:28Everyone waited to see the spectacle,
00:38:29to see the evil woman get jabbed with a needle and wake up humiliated.
00:38:33Dr. William approached the wheelchair and called out,
00:38:36No response.
00:38:36He reached out to feel the wrist resting on my abdomen.
00:38:39The moment he touched that ice-cold skin, his face turned white.
00:38:43His hands started trembling.
00:38:44He moved from the wrist to the pulse.
00:38:46No heartbeat.
00:38:47This, this, Dr. William couldn't believe it.
00:38:50What's wrong?
00:38:51Did you find her acting too convincing, even fooling you?
00:38:54Stop the act, Dr. William.
00:38:56Just give her the shot.
00:38:57Lost your voice?
00:38:58Speak.
00:38:58Tell everyone she's faking.
00:39:01Faking?
00:39:02She can't fake anymore!
00:39:04Mr. Ashfield!
00:39:05Mr. Carter, can't you see?
00:39:07She's already dead!
00:39:11This is Liberty!
00:39:12This is rigor mortis!
00:39:14You, you've been forcing a corpse to apologize this whole time!
00:39:17Dead?
00:39:18Dr. William, you've lost your mind.
00:39:20Lucas let go of Sophia's hand.
00:39:22Stop playing along with Vivian's sick games.
00:39:25Livesey?
00:39:26I think she just put on special effects makeup.
00:39:28Vivian, stop pretending!
00:39:30Get home!
00:39:31Don't touch her!
00:39:31Are you blind?
00:39:33Feel her hand?
00:39:34Look at her eyes!
00:39:36What living person looks like this?
00:39:38Dr. William's tears fell as he untied the bow at my neck with shaking hands.
00:39:43Under the bow, a circle of purple-black ligature marks around my neck.
00:39:47As the concealer rubbed off, slight giant cell formation appeared on the side of my neck.
00:39:51A female reporter in the front row covered her mouth, dry heaving.
00:39:54The live stream chat exploded.
00:39:56Holy shit!
00:39:57That's actual lividity!
00:39:59I'm a forensic student!
00:40:00That's definitely not makeup!
00:40:01That neck!
00:40:02My god, what did she go through?
00:40:04Is Ethan insane?
00:40:05He made a corpse apologize on live stream!
00:40:08They killed her!
00:40:09The elites killed someone!
00:40:10Ethan stared at the black marks on my neck.
00:40:12No.
00:40:14Impossible.
00:40:16He staggered backward, knocking over the champagne tower.
00:40:19She was alive yesterday!
00:40:20When I dragged her home yesterday, she groaned!
00:40:22I heard it!
00:40:23I really heard it!
00:40:23I floated above, watching him.
00:40:25Tears streaming, watching him.
00:40:27Ethan, that wasn't me groaning.
00:40:29That was the sound of air being forced from my lungs when my head hit the stairs.
00:40:33Someone call the police!
00:40:34Get an ambulance!
00:40:36Hurry!
00:40:36Workers sprang into action.
00:40:37Lucas, what do we do?
00:40:39If she's really dead, then we...
00:40:42Cut the live stream!
00:40:42Security!
00:40:43Get these reporters out!
00:40:44I dare anyone to move!
00:40:46Ethan Ashford, Lucas Carter, I think you need to come with us.
00:40:50He collapsed among the broken glass.
00:40:52He stared at my lifeless face.
00:40:54The sister he'd doted on for 20 years.
00:40:56Yesterday, he'd dragged her home like trash.
00:40:58Today, he'd forced her to kneel and apologize to someone else.
00:41:01And now the police were telling him she'd been dead all along.
00:41:04When the coroner took me away,
00:41:05Ethan tried to rush forward but was held back by two officers.
00:41:09Vivian!
00:41:09Vivian, don't sleep!
00:41:11I was wrong!
00:41:12Please open your eyes and look at me!
00:41:14My parents rushed back that night.
00:41:15When they saw the body in the morgue,
00:41:17my mom fainted on the spot and was rushed to the ER.
00:41:20Lucas and Sophia were detained in the interrogation room.
00:41:23The coroner paused, looking at Ethan.
00:41:25The deceased suffered severe external abuse.
00:41:27Stomach contents showed only small amounts of pig feed and mud.
00:41:31Most critically, we detected large quantities of powerful hallucinates in the deceased system.
00:41:35This drug makes people feel pain magnified ten times while conscious.
00:41:39The deceased died of a heart attack caused by long-term malnutrition,
00:41:43extreme physical abuse, and massive doses of hallucinarens.
00:41:46Ethan's head snapped up, bloodshot eyes wide.
00:41:49What did you say?
00:41:51Hallucinotics?
00:41:52Yes.
00:41:52That's why her acting seemed so real when she was being tortured.
00:41:55Because she was really in pain.
00:41:57In so much pain, she wanted to die, but didn't even have the strength to beg.
00:42:00What you thought was acting was her instinct to survive in hell.
00:42:05Ethan rushed to the toilet, violently vomiting bile.
00:42:13You bitch.
00:42:14I'll kill you.
00:42:16That slap was for slandering me.
00:42:19And this slap?
00:42:21That's for almost letting an old man die.
00:42:23And now, let's welcome the winner of this year, Dr. Mia Bennett.
00:42:27Dr. Mia Bennett is the winner of this year's Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award.
00:42:31Dr. Bennett discovered a way to treat a rare heart disease.
00:42:39The chairwoman of Bennett Medical Group, Dr. Mia Bennett, has once again topped the Forbes 500.
00:42:45Dr. Bennett, Dr. Bennett, Dr. Bennett, Dr. Bennett, right over here.
00:42:49Excuse me.
00:42:50Can we get him?
00:42:51Can we get him?
00:42:51Can we get him?
00:42:51Can we get him?
00:42:52Please.
00:42:54Ma'am, you asked to see me?
00:42:56Prepare a 5% equity transfer and a new outfit.
00:43:00Something that looks homeless.
00:43:03Yes, ma'am, but why pretend to be homeless?
00:43:06Riley, just do what I say.
00:43:12Dylan's office is nearby.
00:43:14I need to see who the man truly is.
00:43:15If he doesn't mind me as I am now, I'll give him this 5% share of the Bennett Group
00:43:19as our engagement gift.
00:43:21Please, help me, sir.
00:43:23Please, ma'am, anything help.
00:43:25Please, some food, please.
00:43:27Please.
00:43:28Please.
00:43:39Please, some change, sir.
00:43:42What is this creature doing here?
00:43:45Get out of the way, you filthy peasant!
00:43:55Dylan, I supported you for 7 years, and now you're treating me like some street jack, cheating on me with
00:44:01some slut!
00:44:01Wow, so a filthy little beggar thinks that she can support Dylan's lifestyle?
00:44:06I'm not homeless.
00:44:08I'm actually...
00:44:08Enough!
00:44:09We broke up ages ago.
00:44:10I can never love a filthy street rat like you.
00:44:14Let's go.
00:44:16The test is over.
00:44:18And the investment was a mistake.
00:44:27Are you okay?
00:44:29Are you okay?
00:44:31Are you okay?
00:44:34Are you okay?
00:44:35Are you okay?
00:44:36Are you okay?
00:44:38Are you okay?
00:44:41Are you okay?
00:44:43Are you okay?
00:44:44Are you okay?
00:44:44Are you okay?
00:44:51Here.
00:44:53Take this and get some proper medical attention.
00:44:57No need to worry about paying it back.
00:45:04This is more than enough.
00:45:07Wait.
00:45:10This is 5% of Bennett Medical Holding Group shares.
00:45:13Take it as repayment.
00:45:17I helped because it was the right thing to do.
00:45:19I don't need a reward.
00:45:20I know, but you deserve it more than anyone else I've met today.
00:45:23Take it as repayment for helping me.
00:45:26You know what?
00:45:26Actually, there is something that you can help me with.
00:45:30Be my temporary wife for five days.
00:45:33Temporary wife?
00:45:34My mom wants me to marry an heiress, but someone that I already like.
00:45:37Why don't you just refuse?
00:45:39My mother has a very severe case of heart disease, so I don't want to agitate her.
00:45:43Fine.
00:45:44I'll do it.
00:45:47Let's go, Mr. Temporary Husband.
00:45:57Tomorrow, I'm hosting a welcome party for the Bennett Medical Team.
00:46:00Your brother Dylan and his girlfriend will be there.
00:46:03You must arrive on time.
00:46:05I have a special woman I want you to meet.
00:46:07I will go to the party, but I will not let you play matchmaker, Mom.
00:46:10Why not?
00:46:11Brianna Foster is so wonderful.
00:46:36What do you think?
00:46:36Do you like it?
00:46:43Help me put it on.
00:46:53I already told you.
00:46:54I have somebody that I like.
00:46:55She's a chairwoman at Bennett Medical Holdings Group.
00:46:59Lone Sharks came after me years ago.
00:47:03She saved me.
00:47:07His injuries are severe.
00:47:08We need to take him to the ICU.
00:47:09A man's life is at stake.
00:47:10Go now.
00:47:11Hey, stay with me.
00:47:11Stay with me.
00:47:19He has a crush on me.
00:47:21This card has no spending limit.
00:47:24We're married.
00:47:25It's yours.
00:47:31Retrieve Ethan Smokes' mother's medical records.
00:47:33Have the R&D make a custom medication for her.
00:47:35And bring it to the Blackwood Hotel immediately.
00:47:37My temporary husband is most of us.
00:47:41Are you worried about your mother?
00:47:43That she'll see right through it?
00:47:45See that I'm just a beggar pretending to be your wife?
00:47:48Are you afraid?
00:47:48No.
00:47:49Just worried that the excitement will be too much for her heart.
00:47:53Give me your hand.
00:47:57I will take care of everything.
00:47:59You don't have to worry about it.
00:48:01I got it.
00:48:11Gemma, I love your dress.
00:48:14It's from one of my favorite designers.
00:48:16I heard Dr. Bennett loves collecting gems.
00:48:18So, I brought you this diamond worth $30 million.
00:48:22She'll definitely agree to make a treatment plan for you now.
00:48:27Oh, it is so stunning.
00:48:30You are so good to me.
00:48:32When Ethan arrives, I will introduce you to him immediately.
00:48:36After I marry your son, I'll treat you even better.
00:48:39Oh, you are such a good girl.
00:48:41And from now on, I'll be introducing you as my wonderful daughter-in-law.
00:48:56Ethan!
00:48:57Ethan!
00:48:58You're here.
00:49:01Where is your gift for the Bennett Medical Team?
00:49:04You are so selfish.
00:49:06Do you not want them to treat me?
00:49:08I'll die!
00:49:09As I said, if they create a treatment plan for you, I will donate $50 million to their foundation.
00:49:15Donating to the foundation will allow more patients to be treated.
00:49:19That's the best gift.
00:49:20The chief medical officer of the Bennett Medical Group will clearly see through your thoughtless gift.
00:49:25It will take so much more than money to impress her.
00:49:29How the hell did I end up with a son this useless?
00:49:33Can't even handle this shit.
00:49:35Leave.
00:49:36Don't make any trouble.
00:49:42Who are you?
00:49:43This is Nia, my wife.
00:49:46Wife?
00:49:46When did you get married?
00:49:47What does she do?
00:49:48And what family is she from?
00:49:51She...
00:49:52My parents and I are doctors.
00:49:54My family works as cardiologists in the Bennett Medical Group.
00:49:58The Bennett Group?
00:49:59You work with the Bennett Medical Team?
00:50:03Well, in that case, come in.
00:50:05You shall be my most honored guest today.
00:50:10Gemma, you promised me I would marry Ethan.
00:50:13Ethan is already married to a cardiologist and she has limitless opportunities ahead of her.
00:50:18She is a far better fit for Ethan than you are.
00:50:21Like I've said, I would never marry anybody like you.
00:50:26And I love Nia.
00:50:28In my eyes, nothing can compare to her.
00:50:32You bitch!
00:50:33Ethan belongs to me.
00:50:35Well, as far as I know, the Bennett Medical Team is full of elderly medical masters.
00:50:41She's far too young.
00:50:42Probably hasn't finished medical school yet.
00:50:44That's right.
00:50:45There's no doctor that young on the medical team.
00:50:47She could be a fraud.
00:50:53Ethan, is what Brianna said true?
00:50:55Is this woman a fraud?
00:50:57She must be a fraud.
00:51:00Ethan is the chairman of Smoke's Industrial Group and he married a scammer.
00:51:04Ethan, tell the truth.
00:51:07Who is Nia?
00:51:10Well, you said that there's no young doctors.
00:51:13But what about their medical chief officer?
00:51:15Dr. Bennett is a world famous genius.
00:51:18Of course she's different.
00:51:19And who says I'm not Nia Bennett?
00:51:22Dr. Bennett inherited Bennett Group, formed the medical team and created targeted heart treatment.
00:51:27You could never be her.
00:51:29Get out now before you further embarrass yourself.
00:51:32She has never made a public appearance.
00:51:34Why are you so sure that I'm not her?
00:51:36Dr. Bennett doesn't appear in public, but that doesn't mean no one has seen her.
00:51:41Mr. Thomas met Dr. Bennett briefly at a banquet.
00:51:46Is this her, Thomas?
00:51:50She really looks like her.
00:51:54What?
00:51:55She really looks like her.
00:51:57But back then, she was just a child.
00:51:59You hear that?
00:52:00This woman is a fraud.
00:52:02Ethan, tell the truth.
00:52:04Is she even a doctor?
00:52:06From the Bennett medical team?
00:52:09Wait.
00:52:10What you said earlier.
00:52:12Are you really?
00:52:13You Bennett?
00:52:15You really don't know?
00:52:17You're not married.
00:52:18You're strangers.
00:52:19Did you make some rando pretend to be your wife?
00:52:21Just avoid marrying me?
00:52:25Ethan?
00:52:27How could you do this?
00:52:30You know my heart can't take it!
00:52:33You will marry Brianna, or I will disown you as my son!
00:52:40Does this look like strangers to you?
00:52:46This can't be.
00:52:49Now do you believe me?
00:52:50Married or not, she's still a fraud impersonating Dr. Bennett.
00:52:54She's nothing but a shameless bitch.
00:52:57Brianna's right.
00:52:58This fraud needs to leave.
00:53:00Get out.
00:53:01Now.
00:53:01Get out!
00:53:02Get out!
00:53:04Remove her!
00:53:06I'll call Dr. Bennett and tell her I caught this impersonator.
00:53:10And she'll come and personally create a treatment plan for Gemma.
00:53:14Do as Brianna says.
00:53:16Throw.
00:53:18Her.
00:53:19Ouch!
00:53:26This...
00:53:26This is...
00:53:32Ethan!
00:53:36Are you okay?
00:53:37It's okay.
00:53:38It's okay, man.
00:53:39No, it's okay.
00:53:40This...
00:53:41This is the Bennett family crest.
00:53:49You really are Mia, Bennett?
00:53:52You really are Mia?
00:53:55Yes.
00:53:55I'm Mia.
00:53:56Is she really Dr. Bennett?
00:53:58She's...
00:54:04He's having a heart attack.
00:54:05Does anybody have nitroglycer?
00:54:07Please somebody.
00:54:08Yes.
00:54:09I do.
00:54:11You had to ruin my welcome banquet, didn't you?
00:54:14You will never be accepted into my family.
00:54:17Get out!
00:54:17That's right.
00:54:18Get out!
00:54:19If either one of you ever leave a finger on my wife again...
00:54:23You're gonna regret it.
00:54:25Are you okay?
00:54:25I'm okay, but...
00:54:26But he needs help.
00:54:27Mrs. Smokes, get the medical team here fast.
00:54:29He's not gonna make it.
00:54:29I'll call the medical team right now.
00:54:33Where are they?
00:54:34They said they're on their way.
00:54:36The number you dialed is not in service.
00:54:38You can't even get a hold of the Bennett medical team?
00:54:40It's just a trick to marry into the Smokes family.
00:54:42Dr. Bennett told me she would personally be here.
00:54:45If anyone's to blame, it's your father.
00:54:47It's his own fault for dying.
00:54:49Shut up.
00:54:50What?
00:54:50Am I wrong?
00:54:51That old man should have died years ago.
00:54:54You dare hit me?
00:54:56I'm a doctor.
00:54:57Let me help.
00:55:01Get away.
00:55:02Are you trying to kill Mr. Thomas?
00:55:04It's my responsibility to save him.
00:55:05I can't just watch and sit here and let someone die in front of me.
00:55:10Get away.
00:55:11Are you trying to kill Mr. Thomas?
00:55:13It's my responsibility to save him.
00:55:15I can't just watch and sit here and let someone die in front of me.
00:55:17You damn fraud.
00:55:18Pretending to be a doctor?
00:55:20Stay away.
00:55:21Mr. Thomas is the president of the Global Chamber of Commerce.
00:55:25If he dies, you'll be ruined.
00:55:27Can you really save him?
00:55:28Of course I can.
00:55:30Okay.
00:55:31I, Ethan Smokes, swear on my name, my reputation, and everything that I owe,
00:55:37that my wife can treat Mr. Thomas.
00:55:39And if anything happens, anything at all, I will take full responsibility.
00:55:43You are continuing to back a fraud?
00:55:45Even top experts cannot cure Thomas's rare heart disease.
00:55:49The Smokes family will be ruined.
00:55:51Just because top experts can't treat him, doesn't mean I can't.
00:55:54We have one chance.
00:55:59You're the one asking to die?
00:56:01It's cardiogenic shock.
00:56:02I'm gonna begin emergency treatment now.
00:56:06That's...
00:56:07Could it be targeted medicine?
00:56:12I bet that's not life-saving medicine.
00:56:15It's poison.
00:56:17I'm alive.
00:56:19You're the one.
00:56:19You're the one.
00:56:20You're the one.
00:56:24You're the one.
00:56:25I'm alive.
00:56:28She actually saved him.
00:56:31Dad, you're awake.
00:56:32My heart, my chest, they're not tight anymore.
00:56:36You saved me.
00:56:37Could you really be impossible?
00:56:39Heart disease has tormented me my entire life.
00:56:42I came here today hoping that the Bennett team could help me,
00:56:46but I never thought I'd meet you in person.
00:56:48You saved my life.
00:56:49We owe you everything.
00:56:51Anything you need, anything you want,
00:56:53the Thomas family will make it happen.
00:57:01The Thomas family is powerful.
00:57:03Mr. Thomas treats her with such respect.
00:57:06Could she really be Dr. Bennett?
00:57:08It doesn't matter if he's a tycoon or a homeless man.
00:57:11It's a doctor's duty to save lives.
00:57:20This?
00:57:21This is the rumored miracle drug?
00:57:23Your father's condition is severe.
00:57:25He needs more treatment as soon as possible.
00:57:27Someone from my team will contact you for a full treatment plan.
00:57:30Dad, you're saved.
00:57:31I shouldn't have trusted Brianna.
00:57:33That miracle drug should be mine.
00:57:35That medicine is mine!
00:57:41Mrs. Smokes, didn't you just scream about how this was poison?
00:57:45And now you're trying to steal it.
00:57:46Do you have a death wish?
00:57:47If you really are the chief medical officer of the Bennett medical team,
00:57:51then why don't you make a treatment plan for Gemma?
00:57:53What a selfish bitch.
00:57:55Exactly.
00:57:55Why is she trying to embarrass Mrs. Smokes?
00:57:57First she's a fraud, then she's selfish.
00:57:59What right do any of you have to insult me?
00:58:02Ethan, are you still defending this woman?
00:58:04Are you trying to kill me?
00:58:06Mrs. Smokes, do you want the truth?
00:58:09Obviously.
00:58:10You've been deceived.
00:58:11The Bennett medical group doesn't accept new patients without a personal examination.
00:58:15And these gifts, they're not enough to sway them to help you.
00:58:19Is that true?
00:58:22I...
00:58:22She's lying again.
00:58:25Now I get it.
00:58:26You and Mr. Thomas must be working together.
00:58:29Ugh, stop stirring up trouble.
00:58:31Then tell me why Thomas happened to have a heart attack the second Mia needed to prove her identity.
00:58:36You shameless bitch.
00:58:38What did you give that old man in return?
00:58:41Oh?
00:58:42Did you sneak into the nursing home and try and sell your body to him?
00:58:46Nursing?
00:58:48You...
00:58:49Dad, shut up, you bitch.
00:58:52Come on, let's go.
00:58:53Let's go.
00:58:58You bitch.
00:58:59I'll kill you.
00:59:02That slap was for slandering me.
00:59:04And this slap...
00:59:07That's for almost letting an old man die.
00:59:09There's no way he could be cured that easily.
00:59:11If it were that easy to cure, Gemma wouldn't have to beg the Bennett's for help.
00:59:15Listen to that shameless slut.
00:59:17I'm perfect for Ethan.
00:59:18Enough!
00:59:19Insulting her will only make me despise you even more than I do.
00:59:25Fine.
00:59:26Let's say she is legitimate.
00:59:28If the Bennett team can't accept patients on such short notice, why don't you just hand over a few doses
00:59:33of the medication?
00:59:34I have them.
00:59:35I just doubt you have the eyes to recognize the real thing.
00:59:38Miracle drugs never circulate on the market.
00:59:41Let's see you keep pretending.
00:59:49They're mine!
00:59:51All mine!
00:59:53I can finally be cured!
00:59:57Wait!
01:00:03And now, let's welcome the winner of this year, Dr. Mia Bennett.
01:00:07Dr. Mia Bennett is the winner of this year's Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award.
01:00:11Dr. Bennett discovered a way to treat a rare heart disease.
01:00:19The chairwoman of Bennett Medical Group, Dr. Mia Bennett, has once again topped the Forbes 500.
01:00:25Dr. Bennett, Dr. Bennett, Dr. Bennett, right over here, please.
01:00:28Dr. Bennett, right over here, please.
01:00:29Excuse me.
01:00:30Bargain me.
01:00:31Can we get him?
01:00:31Can we get him?
01:00:32Please.
01:00:34Ma'am, you asked to see me?
01:00:36Prepare a 5% equity transfer and a new outfit.
01:00:40Something that looks homeless.
01:00:43Yes, ma'am, but why pretend to be homeless?
01:00:46Riley, just do what I say.
01:00:52Dillon's office is nearby.
01:00:54I need to see who the man truly is.
01:00:55If he doesn't mind me as I am now, I'll give him this 5% share of the Bennett Group
01:00:59as our engagement gift.
01:01:01Please, help me, sir.
01:01:03Please, ma'am, anything help.
01:01:05Please, some food, please.
01:01:16Dillon, my boyfriend.
01:01:19Please, some change, sir.
01:01:22What is this creature doing here?
01:01:25Get out of the way, you filthy peasant.
01:01:33Dillon.
01:01:35I supported you for 7 years, and now you're treating me like some street rat, cheating on me with some
01:01:41slut.
01:01:41Wow, so a filthy little beggar thinks that she can support Dillon's lifestyle?
01:01:46I'm not homeless.
01:01:48I'm actually...
01:01:48Enough!
01:01:49We broke up ages ago.
01:01:50I can never love a filthy street rat like you.
01:01:54Let's go.
01:01:56The test is over.
01:01:58And the investment was an escape.
01:02:00Oh, no.
01:02:07Are you okay?
01:02:21Are you okay?
01:02:23You're not my family.
01:02:31Here. Take this and get some proper medical attention. No need to worry about paying it
01:02:39back. Thank you. This is more than enough. Wait. This is 5% of Bennett Medical Holding
01:02:52Group shares. Take it as repayment. I helped because it was the right thing to do. I don't
01:02:59need a reward. I know, but you deserve it more than anyone else I've met today. Take
01:03:03it as repayment for helping me. You know what? There actually, there is something that you
01:03:08can help me with. Be my temporary wife for five days. Temporary wife? My mom wants me
01:03:14to marry an heiress, but someone that I already like. Why don't you just refuse? My mother
01:03:19has a very severe case of heart disease, so I don't want to agitate her. It's going
01:03:23to cause a whole... Fine. I'll do it. Let's go, Mr. Temporary
01:03:29Husband.
01:03:37Tomorrow, I'm hosting a welcome party for the Bennett Medical Team. Your brother Dylan
01:03:41and his girlfriend will be there. You must arrive on time. I have a special woman I want
01:03:46you to meet. I will go to the party, but I will not let you play matchmaker, Mom. Why
01:03:50not? Brianna Foster is so wonderful.
01:04:16What do you think? Do you like it?
01:04:23Help me put it on.
01:04:32Um, I already told you, I have somebody that I like. She's a chairwoman at Bennett Medical
01:04:37Holdings Group. Lone Sharks came after me years ago. She saved me.
01:04:46His injuries are severe. We need to take him to the ICU. A man's life is at stake. Go
01:04:50now. Hey, stay with me. Stay with me.
01:04:59He has a crush on me. This card has no spending limit. We're married. It's yours.
01:05:10Retrieve Ethan Smokes' mother's medical records. Have the R&D make a custom medication for
01:05:15her and bring it to the Blackwood Hotel immediately. My temporary husband is useless.
01:05:21Are you worried about your mother? That she'll see right through it? See that I'm just a beggar
01:05:26pretending to be your wife?
01:05:27Are you afraid?
01:05:28No. Just worried that the excitement will be too much for her heart.
01:05:33Give me your hand.
01:05:37I will take care of everything. You don't have to worry about it. I got it.
01:05:51Gemma, I love your dress.
01:05:53Thank you. It's from one of my favorite designers.
01:05:56I heard Dr. Bennett loves collecting gems. So, I brought you this diamond worth 30 million.
01:06:02She'll definitely agree to make a treatment plan for you now.
01:06:07Oh, it is so stunning. You are so good to me. When Ethan arrives, I will introduce you to
01:06:15him immediately.
01:06:16After I marry your son, I'll treat you even better.
01:06:19Oh, you are such a good girl. And from now on, I'll be introducing you as my wonderful daughter-in
01:06:26-law.
01:06:36Ethan! Ethan! You're here. Where is your gift for the Bennett medical team? You are so selfish. Do you not
01:06:47want them to treat me? I'll die.
01:06:49As I said, if they create a treatment plan for you, I will donate 50 million dollars to their foundation.
01:06:55Donating to the foundation will allow more patients to be treated. That's the best gift.
01:06:59The chief medical officer of the Bennett medical group will clearly see through your thoughtless gift.
01:07:05It will take so much more than money to impress her.
01:07:09How the hell did I end up with a son this useless? Can't even handle this shit.
01:07:15Leave. Don't make any trouble.
01:07:22Who are you?
01:07:23This is Mia, my wife.
01:07:25Wife?
01:07:26When did you get married?
01:07:27What does she do?
01:07:28And what family is she from?
01:07:31She...
01:07:31My parents and I are doctors.
01:07:34My family works as cardiologists in the Bennett medical group.
01:07:37The Bennett group?
01:07:39You work with the Bennett medical team?
01:07:43Well, in that case, come in.
01:07:45You shall be my most honored guest today.
01:07:49Gemma, you promised me I would marry Ethan.
01:07:53Ethan is already married to a cardiologist and she has limitless opportunities ahead of her.
01:07:58She is a far better fit for Ethan than you are.
01:08:01Like I've said, I would never marry anybody like you.
01:08:06And I love Mia.
01:08:08In my eyes, nothing can compare to her.
01:08:12You bitch!
01:08:13Ethan belongs to me!
01:08:15Well, as far as I know, the Bennett medical team is full of elderly medical masters.
01:08:21She's far too young.
01:08:22Probably hasn't finished medical school yet.
01:08:24That's right.
01:08:25There's no doctor that young on the medical team.
01:08:27She could be a fraud.
01:08:33Ethan.
01:08:33Is what Brianna said true?
01:08:35Is this woman a fraud?
01:08:37She must be a fraud.
01:08:40Ethan is the chairman of Smoke's Industrial Group and he married a scammer.
01:08:44Ethan.
01:08:46Tell the truth.
01:08:48Who is Mia?
01:08:50Well, you said that there's no young doctors.
01:08:53But what about their medical chief officer?
01:08:55Dr. Bennett is a world famous genius.
01:08:58Of course she's different.
01:08:59And who says I'm not Mia Bennett?
01:09:01Dr. Bennett inherited Bennett Group, formed the medical team, and created targeted heart
01:09:07treatment.
01:09:07You could never be her.
01:09:09Get out now!
01:09:10Before you further embarrass yourself.
01:09:12She has never made a public appearance.
01:09:14Why are you so sure that I'm not her?
01:09:16Dr. Bennett doesn't appear in public, but that doesn't mean no one has seen her.
01:09:20Mr. Thomas met Dr. Bennett briefly at a banquet.
01:09:26Is this her, Thomas?
01:09:30She really looks like her.
01:09:33What?
01:09:35She really looks like her.
01:09:36But back then, she was just a child.
01:09:39You hear that?
01:09:40This woman is a fraud.
01:09:42Ethan.
01:09:43Tell the truth.
01:09:44Is she even a doctor from the Bennett's medical team?
01:09:49Wait.
01:09:50What you said earlier.
01:09:52Are you really...
01:09:54Mia Bennett?
01:09:55You really don't know?
01:09:57You're not married.
01:09:58You're strangers.
01:09:59Did you make some rando pretend to be your wife?
01:10:01Just avoid marrying me?
01:10:05Ethan?
01:10:07How could you do this?
01:10:10You know my heart can't take it!
01:10:13You will marry Brianna, or I will disown you as my son!
01:10:20Does this look like strangers to you?
01:10:26This can't be.
01:10:29Now do you believe me?
01:10:30Married or not, she's still a fraud impersonating Dr. Bennett.
01:10:34She's nothing but a shameless bitch!
01:10:37Brianna's right.
01:10:38This fraud needs to leave.
01:10:40Yeah.
01:10:40Out.
01:10:41Now.
01:10:41Get out.
01:10:42Get out.
01:10:42Get out.
01:10:43Get out.
01:10:43Out.
01:10:44Remove her.
01:10:46I'll call Dr. Bennett and tell her I caught this impersonator.
01:10:50And she'll come and personally create a treatment plan for Gemma.
01:10:54Do as Brianna says.
01:10:57Throw her out.
01:11:05This.
01:11:06This.
01:11:07This is.
01:11:16Are you okay?
01:11:17It's okay, man.
01:11:19No, it's okay.
01:11:20This.
01:11:20This... this is the Bennett family crest.
01:11:29You really are Mia Bennett?
