AmusantTranscription
00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.
00:00:05Today, my family pushed me into hell.
00:00:07The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.
00:00:10The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.
00:00:15Jolene!
00:00:16Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!
00:00:19If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.
00:00:21Release Jolene first.
00:00:22Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.
00:00:26I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.
00:00:31But he doesn't even glance my way.
00:00:33I choose Jolene too.
00:00:35This is the man I loved for three years.
00:00:37Code-blooded.
00:00:39Roofless.
00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.
00:00:51But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.
00:01:00Poor girl.
00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:01:04No need to hurry.
00:01:06One at a time, boys.
00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.
00:01:10No!
00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.
00:01:16A dozen figures dressed in black storming silence.
00:01:19If you want to live,
00:01:23stop right now.
00:01:24I recognize the man.
00:01:26He is Liam Warren.
00:01:28The most powerful man in Artwell.
00:01:30Who commands a massive empire.
00:01:32Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.
00:01:35Mr. Warren.
00:01:36Please spare us.
00:01:53Who are you?
00:01:55I'm the one sending you to hell.
00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,
00:02:00desperate pleas,
00:02:01and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.
00:02:08How much did Jolene pay you?
00:02:10Five million.
00:02:11She wanted you ruined.
00:02:16Thank you for saving me.
00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.
00:02:25I can cure it.
00:02:27Do you trust me?
00:02:29I trust you.
00:02:30I draw a small blade,
00:02:32make a precise cut on his finger,
00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.
00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,
00:02:37you're gonna have to stick close to me.
00:02:39First,
00:02:41I need to end things with the Browns.
00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.
00:02:47When I return home,
00:02:48I find my biological parents and three brothers
00:02:50gathered around Jolana,
00:02:52showering her with care.
00:02:53I close the distance,
00:02:55grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.
00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?
00:03:01Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?
00:03:03You better apologize right now.
00:03:07Catherine,
00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?
00:03:11Maybe we never should have taken you in.
00:03:13Me causing trouble?
00:03:16Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?
00:03:19She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.
00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.
00:03:25Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:03:27The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.
00:03:31No!
00:03:32It must be fake!
00:03:34Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
00:03:37Or maybe call the police?
00:03:38No! No!
00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!
00:03:41I'm sorry!
00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!
00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.
00:03:47Just drop it!
00:03:48It's either her or me.
00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.
00:03:54In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.
00:03:57So why should I hold on to them?
00:03:59Just as I step outside,
00:04:01a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.
00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?
00:04:08Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.
00:04:10I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.
00:04:17The car glides into the Warren estate.
00:04:20The most powerful family in Ardwell.
00:04:26Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.
00:04:33Is everything settled?
00:04:34Yes, I've cut ties.
00:04:36From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.
00:04:38Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.
00:04:40All right.
00:04:41But I have two conditions.
00:04:43First, I need a complete medical lab.
00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:04:48Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.
00:04:52All right.
00:04:54But keep this in mind.
00:04:57If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...
00:05:01My medical skills won't disappoint you.
00:05:04Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.
00:05:06Buy whatever you need.
00:05:08Don't hold back.
00:05:09I take the black card.
00:05:10A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.
00:05:13Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.
00:05:16Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.
00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.
00:05:21This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.
00:05:24Ironic, isn't it?
00:05:25A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.
00:05:29I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.
00:05:34Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.
00:05:37Where did you run off to?
00:05:39Come back.
00:05:40Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.
00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
00:05:44Who picked you up?
00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.
00:05:48Just return home.
00:05:49If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.
00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?
00:05:59Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?
00:06:03I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.
00:06:08I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.
00:06:13Get lost.
00:06:13Then I block them all without hesitation.
00:06:16That feels even better.
00:06:17This is how life should be.
00:06:18Logging out.
00:06:19I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.
00:06:25A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.
00:06:30Welcome back.
00:06:32Quietus.
00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.
00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.
00:06:38My phone rings.
00:06:40It's Gerald Douglas, my loyal admirer.
00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?
00:06:45I can't believe it.
00:06:46I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.
00:06:48Good.
00:06:49Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.
00:06:52The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.
00:06:54It seems Liam is already investigating me.
00:06:57Let them dig.
00:06:59Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.
00:07:05The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.
00:07:15Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.
00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.
00:07:26I'll bring out the new styles for you.
00:07:30Catherine?
00:07:31What brings you here?
00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.
00:07:35Jolene, is this your sister?
00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?
00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.
00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.
00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.
00:07:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?
00:07:56Watch out.
00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.
00:08:01I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.
00:08:04What?
00:08:05I saw those first.
00:08:07Saw them first, but can't afford them?
00:08:10Maybe?
00:08:11Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?
00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.
00:08:16I pay and walk out.
00:08:19I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction courses through me.
00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.
00:08:30The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.
00:08:33I enter the hall on Liam's arm.
00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown, my makeup refined but understated.
00:08:40Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.
00:08:44I am Liam Warren's date.
00:08:46The most powerful man in Ardwell.
00:08:48All eyes are drawn to us.
00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?
00:08:54He actually showed up.
00:08:56Who's that woman with him?
00:08:58I've never seen her before.
00:09:00She's stunning.
00:09:02Is she from some notable family?
00:09:04I ignore the whispers.
00:09:06My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.
00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm.
00:09:13Playing the part of a cherished woman.
00:09:15But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.
00:09:18Austin freezes too.
00:09:20He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.
00:09:26Catherine, what are you doing here?
00:09:28And with Mr. Warren?
00:09:30Where I go isn't any of your business.
00:09:32Who do you think you are to me?
00:09:37I'm your brother.
00:09:41I let out a cold laugh.
00:09:43Brother?
00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,
00:09:47did you remember you were my brother then?
00:09:50Catherine is with me.
00:09:55His words are dripping with authority.
00:09:59Jolene approaches, her expression dark.
00:10:03Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
00:10:05You never mentioned anything.
00:10:07And didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?
00:10:11I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.
00:10:16Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.
00:10:19Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.
00:10:22None of that is any of your business.
00:10:25Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?
00:10:29Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears.
00:10:34Here she goes again.
00:10:36Catherine, that's not what I meant.
00:10:40Catherine, where have you been?
00:10:42Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you.
00:10:45We're not that familiar.
00:10:48Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?
00:10:52Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?
00:10:59Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?
00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.
00:11:10Excuse me.
00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.
00:11:19Did you catch that?
00:11:21Liam said it himself.
00:11:23She's with him.
00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?
00:11:29Wait, Catherine?
00:11:30Catherine, isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth
00:11:34and brought back from some remote place?
00:11:38Judging by Jolene's little comments,
00:11:40the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.
00:11:44Look at Deccan's face.
00:11:46Is he starting to regret dumping her?
00:11:49I don't look back,
00:11:51but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.
00:11:55The auction begins.
00:11:57One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.
00:12:00Beautiful work of art.
00:12:02A piece of history.
00:12:03A masterpiece.
00:12:11Dazzling.
00:12:12Priceless.
00:12:14But I've never been interested in jewelry.
00:12:16No matter how valuable,
00:12:18they're just stones.
00:12:19Just then,
00:12:20I hear a familiar voice.
00:12:22It's Jolene.
00:12:23Austin.
00:12:24Austin,
00:12:25this necklace is stunning.
00:12:26I really like it.
00:12:30Austin understands immediately.
00:12:32His eyes grow determined.
00:12:35Huh.
00:12:35Same as always.
00:12:37Whatever Jolene wants,
00:12:38Austin gives her.
00:12:44Once I was jealous.
00:12:46Now,
00:12:47I just find it ridiculous.
00:12:50Going once.
00:12:52Going twice.
00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,
00:12:56a deep voice echoes from the back.
00:12:5850 million.
00:13:0050 million.
00:13:01Sold.
00:13:03Congratulations,
00:13:03Mr. Warren.
00:13:05Liam walks up to the stage
00:13:07and claims the necklace.
00:13:13Then,
00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,
00:13:16he returns to me
00:13:17and fastens the necklace
00:13:19around my neck.
00:13:24It looks good on you.
00:13:27Thank you.
00:13:28I really like it.
00:13:30The sight stings Jolene's eyes.
00:13:33Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.
00:13:36I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.
00:13:4250 million for a necklace.
00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.
00:13:47After the auction wraps up,
00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.
00:13:51Catherine,
00:13:52you really are something.
00:13:53A few days away
00:13:54and you've already hooked onto Liam.
00:13:56Nothing as impressive
00:13:57as your lifelong mastery
00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.
00:14:00Why do you always target me?
00:14:02Cut it out.
00:14:03There's no audience here,
00:14:04so no need to pretend.
00:14:06Jolene spots Declan approaching
00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,
00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.
00:14:12Catherine,
00:14:12even if you dislike me,
00:14:14isn't this too much?
00:14:15Throwing juice on me?
00:14:17What happened?
00:14:18Declan,
00:14:19it's okay.
00:14:20I must have upset Catherine.
00:14:22Catherine,
00:14:23you still haven't grown up.
00:14:24Jolene is your sister.
00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine
00:14:30and flick my wrist,
00:14:32sending the whole glass
00:14:33onto Jolene's dress.
00:14:34There,
00:14:35that's something I actually did.
00:14:37And I only take responsibility
00:14:39for my own actions.
00:14:40Jolene is stunned.
00:14:43Declan freezes.
00:14:45Seems I arrived just after
00:14:46all the excitement ending.
00:14:48Quite the lesson
00:14:49in the Brown family's manners today.
00:14:52Mr. Warren,
00:14:53this is
00:14:53a misunderstanding.
00:14:56Misunderstanding?
00:14:57There are security cameras here.
00:15:01Review them
00:15:02if clarity is needed.
00:15:04Whispers erupt around them.
00:15:10Jolene's face
00:15:11goes from scarlet
00:15:12to ghostly pale.
00:15:14Let's go.
00:15:16The atmosphere here
00:15:17is suffocating.
00:15:18A fierce satisfaction
00:15:19rising in my chest.
00:15:21This time,
00:15:22I don't have to hold back anymore.
00:15:23Back in the Brown family,
00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.
00:15:26And all it got me
00:15:27was them pushing harder
00:15:28every time.
00:15:28Now,
00:15:29no one could step on me again.
00:15:36The following morning,
00:15:38I walk into the living area
00:15:40and notice Liam
00:15:41is already awake.
00:15:54Good morning.
00:15:56Morning.
00:15:58I head to the kitchen
00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.
00:16:05Just then,
00:16:06Liam's friend arrives.
00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty
00:16:16who stunned everyone
00:16:17last night?
00:16:18That's Catherine Brown,
00:16:19my new personal doctor.
00:16:22You're serious?
00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough
00:16:26that I can't ignore it.
00:16:28Mr. Moreno,
00:16:30perhaps you should take things easy.
00:16:32Your dark under eyes
00:16:33and shortness of breath
00:16:34suggest your vitality
00:16:35is running low.
00:16:36Winfred's face
00:16:37flushes immediately.
00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.
00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?
00:16:42Miss Brown,
00:16:43I'm not one to judge
00:16:44by appearances.
00:16:45But Liam's condition is severe.
00:16:47Many top experts
00:16:48have been stumped.
00:16:49And you?
00:16:49I'm not bothered.
00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt
00:16:53many times before.
00:16:55We'll see soon enough.
00:16:57Winred,
00:16:57maybe you ought to let
00:16:59Dr. Brown give you a prescription.
00:17:02Liam,
00:17:03are you kidding me?
00:17:04This girl
00:17:04is not just some girl.
00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.
00:17:07Right now,
00:17:08she's the one keeping me alive.
00:17:09He then turns to me.
00:17:11Can you really fix me?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:1730 minutes later,
00:17:18I begin the first acupuncture session.
00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,
00:17:23exposing his toned chest.
00:17:26I pull out the silver needles
00:17:28and insert them
00:17:29with speed and precision.
00:17:34When the last needle is inserted,
00:17:37Liam's body shivers.
00:17:39And he spits out
00:17:40dark red clotted blood.
00:17:46What did you just do to him,
00:17:48Dr. Brown?
00:17:48How are you feeling now?
00:17:55I feel great.
00:17:57Lighter than I have
00:17:58in a long time.
00:17:59Don't let yourself
00:18:00get too stressed.
00:18:01And most importantly,
00:18:03you'll need to prioritize
00:18:04rest and abstinence.
00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.
00:18:08I'll take your advice seriously.
00:18:10Winfred leans in
00:18:11and quietly asks
00:18:12if I can help
00:18:13with his health.
00:18:17I go back to my room
00:18:18and return
00:18:19with a bottle of pills.
00:18:21These are pills
00:18:22for male vitality.
00:18:23One bottle costs
00:18:25$100,000.
00:18:26$100,000?
00:18:27Are these pills
00:18:29made of solid gold?
00:18:30The ingredients are rare
00:18:31and the process
00:18:32is complicated.
00:18:34Quality always demands
00:18:35a premium price.
00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.
00:18:38A sports car
00:18:39can be repaired,
00:18:40but if your health fails,
00:18:42no sum of money
00:18:43will grant you
00:18:43a second chance.
00:18:45The following morning,
00:18:47just as I prepare to leave,
00:18:48my phone buzzles
00:18:49with a call from Austin.
00:18:53Catherine,
00:18:53come back here right now.
00:18:54What is it?
00:18:55You'll find out
00:18:56when you get here.
00:18:57I realize that
00:18:58for the sake of my own peace,
00:19:00cutting all connections
00:19:00with the Brown family
00:19:02is necessary.
00:19:04The mood in the living room
00:19:05is thick with tension.
00:19:11Look who's back.
00:19:13How did you sink
00:19:14so low at your age,
00:19:15becoming someone's mistress?
00:19:18Catherine,
00:19:19I'm only trying to help you.
00:19:21I'm afraid you're being misled.
00:19:23Who I decide to be with
00:19:25is my own business.
00:19:27It doesn't concern your family.
00:19:29You're a Brown!
00:19:32Everything you do
00:19:33stains our family's name!
00:19:37Catherine, seriously,
00:19:38do you think Liam
00:19:39would ever give you
00:19:40the time of day?
00:19:41Are you all finished?
00:19:43First,
00:19:44Liam and I have a strictly
00:19:46doctor-patient relationship.
00:19:48Second,
00:19:48even if there were something else,
00:19:50it's none of your business.
00:19:52And don't forget
00:19:53that I am no longer
00:19:54part of your family.
00:19:55You said you cut ties,
00:19:57so give back
00:19:58the Brown group's shares.
00:20:02Those shares came
00:20:03from Grandpa.
00:20:05You don't have
00:20:06a single right
00:20:07to any of it.
00:20:08I pull out my phone
00:20:09and show them the screen.
00:20:11Since I stepped in,
00:20:13I've been recording
00:20:14all your insults,
00:20:15threats,
00:20:16and schemes
00:20:16to grab the shares.
00:20:18Keep pushing me,
00:20:19and I won't hesitate
00:20:20to hand this over
00:20:21to the press
00:20:22and the law.
00:20:25I put my phone away,
00:20:26feeling nothing.
00:20:28I used to put up
00:20:30with everything
00:20:30you threw at me.
00:20:32Now it's your turn
00:20:33to taste
00:20:34what it feels like
00:20:35to be on the other end
00:20:36of a threat.
00:20:39I leave the Brown family home
00:20:41and prepare to go back.
00:20:46Suddenly,
00:20:47a voice calls out,
00:20:48Catherine,
00:20:49is that really you?
00:20:50Where have you been hiding?
00:20:51I look at the woman
00:20:52before me.
00:20:54She's nearly 50,
00:20:56her face lined
00:20:57with wrinkles,
00:20:58her expression
00:20:59mean and petty.
00:21:00What do you want?
00:21:02You must have money
00:21:03if you're surviving
00:21:04this well.
00:21:04My son needs school fees,
00:21:06and you owe me
00:21:07half a million.
00:21:08If you don't pay up,
00:21:09I'll make a scene
00:21:10outside your place
00:21:11every single day.
00:21:13If you need cash,
00:21:14ask your real daughter,
00:21:15Jolene.
00:21:16I raised you
00:21:17all those years,
00:21:18so you should
00:21:19compensate me.
00:21:20you ungrateful brat.
00:21:22Stay out of my way.
00:21:24Otherwise,
00:21:25I won't hesitate
00:21:25to involve the police
00:21:26and reopening the case
00:21:27about you switching infants.
00:21:29You don't do anything rash.
00:21:31I'll be going now.
00:21:33Bridget scurries off
00:21:34in panic.
00:21:38Just then,
00:21:40a sleek black Rolls Royce
00:21:41glides to a stop
00:21:42beside me.
00:21:44The window lowers,
00:21:46revealing Liam's
00:21:47handsome face.
00:21:48Do you need a hand?
00:21:50No,
00:21:51it's nothing serious.
00:21:51I've already taken care of it.
00:21:54Get in.
00:21:55It's nearly impossible
00:21:56to catch a taxi here.
00:21:58I hesitate,
00:21:59but eventually get into the car.
00:22:01Bridget's appearance
00:22:02reminds me of one thing.
00:22:04The Brown family's
00:22:05troubles aren't over.
00:22:06That woman's greed
00:22:07is bottomless.
00:22:08She won't let this go.
00:22:10But that's fine.
00:22:11I'm no longer
00:22:12that little girl who
00:22:13let others push her around.
00:22:16anyone who wants
00:22:17to come after me
00:22:18had better think twice.
00:22:22On the weekend,
00:22:23Gerard asks to meet me
00:22:25at Harborview Genie,
00:22:26a popular restaurant.
00:22:31Catherine?
00:22:32Catherine?
00:22:32I turn around,
00:22:34and my eyes fall on Jalene,
00:22:36standing with the Browns
00:22:37and the Fultons.
00:22:38Did you hear
00:22:39we'd be here
00:22:40and decide to show up
00:22:41just to cause a scene?
00:22:42Mr. Brown,
00:22:43I'm here for the food.
00:22:46Just then,
00:22:47a clear voice
00:22:48cuts through the tension.
00:22:51Miss Catherine Brown,
00:22:52you're here.
00:22:53Welcome.
00:22:54Please follow me.
00:22:55Everyone stares in shock
00:22:56as I walk toward
00:22:57the most private,
00:22:58rarely accessible suite
00:22:59in the entire restaurant.
00:23:02How is she getting in there?
00:23:03There must be some mistake.
00:23:06I push open the suite door,
00:23:08and Gerard immediately
00:23:09rises from his seat.
00:23:12Catherine,
00:23:13you made it.
00:23:14Gerard tells me
00:23:15his uncle has been
00:23:15diagnosed with a brain tumor.
00:23:17He says the required surgery
00:23:19carries an extremely high risk.
00:23:25Start with this medication.
00:23:27Come back in a week
00:23:28for a follow-up.
00:23:28We'll reassess then.
00:23:34Thank you, Catherine.
00:23:36I was sure
00:23:36you'd have a solution.
00:23:38After the meal,
00:23:39Gerard leans forward
00:23:40and asks if I need
00:23:41help with anything.
00:23:44I want to buy a house.
00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,
00:23:47but it must be
00:23:48extremely quiet
00:23:48and private,
00:23:49with top-tier security.
00:23:51I'll handle it.
00:23:52I'll find something
00:23:52perfect for you.
00:23:53Oh, and you're starting
00:23:54at Araylis University
00:23:55next Monday, right?
00:23:56I'm going to study.
00:23:58Medical school.
00:23:59You need to study medicine?
00:24:01You've got to be kidding me.
00:24:03I'm getting a formal degree
00:24:04and taking care
00:24:05of some personal business.
00:24:06Campus life
00:24:07isn't a bad experience
00:24:08after all.
00:24:11The manager hands me
00:24:12an exclusive premium
00:24:13membership card
00:24:14saying all my expenses here
00:24:16will be on the house
00:24:17from now on.
00:24:19I glance over at Gerard
00:24:20and he breaks into a grin.
00:24:22Don't refuse it.
00:24:24This is our business,
00:24:25so just enjoy it.
00:24:29Fine.
00:24:30After being chased away
00:24:32from my private suite,
00:24:33Jolene drags herself
00:24:34to her family's box.
00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?
00:24:49Mom, I'm fine.
00:24:51I just stepped out
00:24:52to see who Catherine
00:24:53was meeting.
00:24:53I was worried about her,
00:24:55but she had me pushed away.
00:24:58What?
00:24:59How dare she treat you
00:25:01that way?
00:25:02That ungrateful girl!
00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.
00:25:07I saw it too.
00:25:09The manager was treating
00:25:10Catherine with a lot of respect.
00:25:13Yes.
00:25:13That man had an aura
00:25:15you can't fake.
00:25:16Catherine is clearly
00:25:17in the high circles.
00:25:19No wonder she's trying
00:25:20to distance herself from us.
00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.
00:25:32who knows what kind of company
00:25:34she's keeping now.
00:25:36Jolene's heart swells
00:25:37with secret satisfaction.
00:25:39I have burned my bridges
00:25:40with the family for good.
00:25:43She is the Brown family's
00:25:45one and only daughter now.
00:25:48The dinner finally ends
00:25:49and the two families part way
00:25:51at the restaurant entrance.
00:25:53When an unexpected
00:25:54grating voice
00:25:55rings out behind Jolene,
00:25:57she turn around
00:25:58and her smile freezes.
00:26:00It's her.
00:26:02Jolene!
00:26:03My dear daughter!
00:26:05Finally!
00:26:06I've found you!
00:26:07Her blood runs cold.
00:26:11Jolene,
00:26:11your younger brother
00:26:13needs money for school.
00:26:15Maybe you could help us out?
00:26:20I don't have time
00:26:21for this ridiculous farce.
00:26:22Take this
00:26:23and never show your face
00:26:24around me again.
00:26:26Jolene,
00:26:26this isn't nearly enough.
00:26:28The tuition alone
00:26:29is a hundred thousand.
00:26:30Her hands tremble
00:26:31with unbridled rage.
00:26:33This wretched woman
00:26:34just won't know her place.
00:26:35I don't know you!
00:26:37My parents already
00:26:38paid you enough
00:26:39to cut ties
00:26:39all those years ago!
00:26:45I can't let this go on.
00:26:47I need to find a way
00:26:48to get rid of this problem
00:26:49for good.
00:26:51The day I've been waiting for
00:26:52has finally arrived.
00:26:54My first day reporting
00:26:55to Aurarius University.
00:27:09Jolene,
00:27:10is this your sister?
00:27:11Since when
00:27:12does Avalius University
00:27:13let random nobodies walk in?
00:27:15Well,
00:27:16isn't this a lovely coincidence,
00:27:17Jolene?
00:27:18Looks like we're going
00:27:19to be classmates.
00:27:20Classmates?
00:27:21You and me?
00:27:22Don't be ridiculous.
00:27:25The lecture bell
00:27:26chimes sharp and clear
00:27:28and Professor Lambert Carter
00:27:29steps through the door.
00:27:31He's a living legend
00:27:32in the global medical field,
00:27:34the heart of this school's
00:27:35medical program.
00:27:36He turns to the class
00:27:38and poses an extremely complex
00:27:40peer-reviewed medical question.
00:27:43The entire lecture hall
00:27:45falls dead silent,
00:27:46not a single student
00:27:48daring to speak up.
00:27:51Young lady,
00:27:53please tell us what you think.
00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly.
00:27:56No trace of panic
00:27:57in my movements
00:27:58and stand up.
00:27:59I lay out my analysis
00:28:00clearly and concisely,
00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,
00:28:04clinical data,
00:28:05and real surgical cases
00:28:06effortlessly.
00:28:09She's incredible.
00:28:10Total beauty and brains.
00:28:12Who even is she?
00:28:15Jolene's face burns
00:28:16with jealousy,
00:28:17her grip tight on her pen.
00:28:20When the final bell rings,
00:28:22I walk out of the lecture hall.
00:28:24Jolene steps in front of me
00:28:26with Paige and Brenna.
00:28:28Catherine,
00:28:29just a few days away,
00:28:30and suddenly you're the one
00:28:32catching everyone's attention.
00:28:33Jolene,
00:28:35she's probably pulling stunts
00:28:36she'd never admit out loud.
00:28:38Exactly.
00:28:39Everyone whispers
00:28:40she knows how to charm
00:28:41the right people.
00:28:42Is that all?
00:28:44Now,
00:28:45move aside,
00:28:46mutt.
00:28:48What did you just say?
00:28:50Paige steps forward
00:28:51to push me.
00:28:53I'm not going to warn you twice.
00:28:55Hands to yourselves.
00:29:00Catherine,
00:29:01you can't just touch
00:29:02people like that.
00:29:03Jolene,
00:29:04keep your little gang in check.
00:29:05If they open their mouths
00:29:06like that again,
00:29:07next time won't be so friendly.
00:29:09Watch your tone.
00:29:11You're messing with
00:29:12the Brown family's reputation.
00:29:15The Brown family?
00:29:17That's your problem,
00:29:18not mine.
00:29:20Stop pretending.
00:29:21It's pathetic.
00:29:23I turn and walk away.
00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion
00:29:33and find Liam in the living room.
00:29:37You were out?
00:29:39Yeah.
00:29:40I stopped by Aurelius University
00:29:42to check in.
00:29:43Also took a look at a new place
00:29:45while I was out.
00:29:46You're moving out?
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48Staying here long term
00:29:49isn't practical.
00:29:50Your treatment has leveled out.
00:29:52It won't interfere
00:29:53with your progress.
00:29:54Where's the new place?
00:29:55I offer the bill
00:29:56building and unit number
00:29:57of Sterling Haven
00:29:58without hesitation.
00:29:59Then I prepare
00:30:00a medicinal shower.
00:30:02The water warmed perfectly.
00:30:05A thin mist
00:30:06curling through the room.
00:30:09It's ready?
00:30:10Liam walks toward
00:30:11the treatment area,
00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt
00:30:14as he moves.
00:30:15His long fingers
00:30:16loosen the fabric,
00:30:18revealing toned muscles
00:30:19and defined contours.
00:30:22Take the pants off too.
00:30:27What's the matter?
00:30:29Feeling shy now?
00:30:30After some hesitation,
00:30:31Liam strips down
00:30:32to his briefs
00:30:33and eases himself
00:30:34into the steaming water.
00:30:36Though composed moments ago,
00:30:39my eyes flicker briefly.
00:30:40It's not like
00:30:41this is the first time
00:30:43I've treated him.
00:30:44Why am I so flustered?
00:30:47Get it together, Catherine.
00:30:49You're a doctor.
00:30:49Stay professional.
00:30:51Don't let a handsome face
00:30:52and a good body
00:30:53throw you off.
00:30:55The next day,
00:30:56I head to the lab
00:30:57to find Lambert.
00:31:00Perfect timing.
00:31:01I've been wrestling
00:31:01with this data all morning.
00:31:02Come check this out.
00:31:08The two of us
00:31:09slip effortlessly
00:31:10into a heated discussion.
00:31:20Professor Carter,
00:31:21sorry to interrupt,
00:31:22but there's something
00:31:22I'm unsure about saying.
00:31:23If you have something to say,
00:31:25just say it.
00:31:26Professor,
00:31:27I know you prize real skill,
00:31:29but Kathleen is not
00:31:31who you think she is.
00:31:32She never attended
00:31:33a proper university.
00:31:34How could she grasp
00:31:35complex medical research?
00:31:37I'm afraid you're being deceived.
00:31:39Enough!
00:31:40Jolene,
00:31:41I don't know what you're trying
00:31:42to do with these accusations,
00:31:43but I've seen enough
00:31:44to know true talent
00:31:46when it's in front of me.
00:31:47Catherine identified the error
00:31:48the moment she looked at it.
00:31:50Most PhD candidates
00:31:51wouldn't even catch this mistake
00:31:53the first time around.
00:31:54Tell me,
00:31:55how could anyone
00:31:56possibly fake
00:31:57that level of understanding?
00:32:03Professor Carter,
00:32:04I...
00:32:05I know true talent
00:32:06when I see it.
00:32:07I don't need
00:32:08your commentary.
00:32:09Now,
00:32:10please step outside.
00:32:20In that moment,
00:32:21I knew I'd found someone
00:32:22who saw me,
00:32:23not the lies
00:32:24they spread about me.
00:32:32hey,
00:32:34I'm Catherine Brown.
00:32:35Just as I walked
00:32:37into the classroom
00:32:37and took my seat,
00:32:38I noticed the girl
00:32:40next to me,
00:32:41her cheek marked
00:32:42by a dark birthmark.
00:32:44Hi,
00:32:45I'm
00:32:46Claudia Norris.
00:32:51Well,
00:32:52well,
00:32:52what do we have here?
00:32:54One caught attention
00:32:55by pure chance
00:32:56and the other,
00:32:57well,
00:32:57the problem's pretty obvious.
00:32:59The snickling spread
00:33:00through the classroom
00:33:00in an instant.
00:33:01Every gaze nailed
00:33:03onto the two of us.
00:33:04Oh,
00:33:04come on,
00:33:05everyone.
00:33:06Don't be so harsh.
00:33:08Professor Carter
00:33:09thinks the world
00:33:09of Catherine.
00:33:13So she's really
00:33:14riding Professor Carter's
00:33:15coattails
00:33:15to get into med school?
00:33:16How pathetic.
00:33:18Oh,
00:33:19wow,
00:33:19Catherine,
00:33:20your shoes,
00:33:20they're the exact same
00:33:22as Jolene's.
00:33:23Come on,
00:33:24Catherine,
00:33:24you actually showed up
00:33:26wearing fake shoes?
00:33:27That's bold.
00:33:30Still,
00:33:31it's embarrassing as hell.
00:33:38All eyes
00:33:39in that instant
00:33:40were pinned on my feet.
00:33:44I feel like being judged
00:33:45in a high society party.
00:33:47The murmur in the room
00:33:49quickly grows
00:33:50into a loud buzz.
00:33:52Most of them
00:33:53were convinced
00:33:54the shoes on my feet
00:33:55were fake.
00:33:57Hey,
00:33:57Catherine,
00:33:58if you like those shoes,
00:33:59I don't mind lending you mine.
00:34:01Wearing fakes is bad.
00:34:04Thanks,
00:34:04but I'm pretty selective.
00:34:06I don't wear
00:34:07other people's shoes.
00:34:08Besides,
00:34:09we still don't actually know
00:34:11who's rocking the fakes,
00:34:13do we?
00:34:14I slowed my movements
00:34:16deliberately,
00:34:17lifted my foot,
00:34:18and aimed the heel
00:34:19straight at the crowd.
00:34:20Is that real?
00:34:22Of course.
00:34:23Here's what I know.
00:34:24Every pair designed
00:34:25by Future's lead designer,
00:34:27Alan Lewis,
00:34:29comes with a unique
00:34:30serial number
00:34:32and the designer's initials.
00:34:33A.L.
00:34:34engraved on the inside heel.
00:34:36It can't be.
00:34:37But it is.
00:34:42Jolene,
00:34:42why don't you have a look
00:34:43inside your own heel?
00:34:45I'm not scared!
00:34:46She raises her foot
00:34:47and turns the inside
00:34:48of the heel
00:34:48toward everyone.
00:34:49It's empty.
00:34:50Oh!
00:34:54Impossible!
00:34:56My shoes are real!
00:34:57The marks are just
00:34:58worn down from use!
00:34:59You can barely see it now!
00:35:01Oh, really?
00:35:03Future's anti-counterfeit system
00:35:04is one of the most
00:35:05advanced in the world.
00:35:07Unless the shoes
00:35:07are completely wrecked,
00:35:09the serial number
00:35:10doesn't just disappear.
00:35:12Want to check right now?
00:35:13No!
00:35:13That won't be necessary!
00:35:14I must have just
00:35:15made a mistake!
00:35:17You wanted to embarrass me
00:35:19in front of everyone?
00:35:20Jolene,
00:35:21you seem to forget.
00:35:23What I do best
00:35:24is tear apart
00:35:24cheap facades like yours.
00:35:26After school,
00:35:27Jolene storms out of campus,
00:35:29fuming.
00:35:30Austin is there
00:35:31to pick her up.
00:35:37Jolene,
00:35:37what's going on?
00:35:38Did someone mess with you?
00:35:40Austin!
00:35:41Those limited edition
00:35:42shoes you got for me!
00:35:45Catherine showed up
00:35:46wearing the exact same pair
00:35:47and accused mine
00:35:48of being fake!
00:35:51Showtime.
00:35:57Catherine,
00:35:58wait!
00:36:04What gives you the right
00:36:05to accuse Jolene's shoes
00:36:06of be fake?
00:36:11Just take the shoes
00:36:12to the store
00:36:13for verification.
00:36:14Verify them?
00:36:15Who do you think
00:36:16you are?
00:36:25Lucky for me,
00:36:27Future's Black Gold members
00:36:28get priority verification.
00:36:31The Future Black card?
00:36:33How the hell
00:36:33does she have that?
00:36:34Austin,
00:36:35let's just get this
00:36:36over with!
00:36:43No, forget it.
00:36:44This isn't worth the headache.
00:36:45Let's just go home.
00:37:01What's going on here?
00:37:04Liam gets out of the car,
00:37:06moving with authority.
00:37:11They look at him nervously,
00:37:13like rats looking at a cat.
00:37:16Mr. Warren!
00:37:18Is everything alright?
00:37:20Mr. Warren,
00:37:21it's nothing serious.
00:37:23Catherine just insisted
00:37:25my shoes weren't real.
00:37:30Do you need any help?
00:37:32No, it's fine.
00:37:33Nothing to worry about.
00:37:35Mr. Warren,
00:37:36this is a private
00:37:37family matter.
00:37:38Family matter?
00:37:40If Catherine's involved,
00:37:42it's my business too.
00:37:47Let's go.
00:37:48Dinner's waiting.
00:37:56Your turn is over.
00:37:58Fake shoes
00:37:59always end up
00:37:59rubbing the heel raw.
00:38:01You might want to
00:38:02change yours.
00:38:12I feel a quiet thrill
00:38:13of satisfaction.
00:38:14You thought you could
00:38:15humiliate me with fake shoes?
00:38:17Look how that backfired.
00:38:20Back in the Brown family,
00:38:21I always had to bite my tongue
00:38:23and step aside.
00:38:25Now, with Liam backing me up,
00:38:29I have nothing to fear.
00:38:40The next afternoon,
00:38:42I wheel a small suitcase
00:38:43to my new home,
00:38:45Sterling Haven.
00:38:46Just as I step out of the car,
00:38:48Catherine?
00:38:49a familiar voice
00:38:50calls out behind me.
00:38:53I turn and see
00:38:54Declan and Jolene
00:38:55standing not far away.
00:38:57What's going on here?
00:38:59Why are you at this place?
00:39:01Catherine,
00:39:02why are you hauling
00:39:03a suitcase here?
00:39:04Are you sure you haven't
00:39:05gotten the wrong place?
00:39:07This is Sterling Haven.
00:39:09If you don't want
00:39:09the security guards
00:39:10kicking you out,
00:39:11you better leave.
00:39:12I live here.
00:39:14So yeah,
00:39:14I'm pretty sure
00:39:15I know my own address.
00:39:16Your home?
00:39:17Wait,
00:39:18are you working here?
00:39:19Like, on the staff?
00:39:20I can't help but laugh.
00:39:22Jolene,
00:39:23your imagination is wild.
00:39:25So tell me,
00:39:26what about you two?
00:39:27Are you here to apply
00:39:28for janitor
00:39:29or security jobs?
00:39:30Declan and I are here
00:39:32looking for a place
00:39:33to settle down.
00:39:34Our wedding apartment,
00:39:35actually.
00:39:37I calmly reach
00:39:38into my bag
00:39:39and pull out
00:39:40an access card.
00:39:43Tapping it
00:39:44against the reader.
00:39:47A beep confirms access.
00:39:52Declan and Jolene
00:39:53freeze in shock.
00:39:57Just moved into
00:39:58Sterling Haven
00:39:59and the silence
00:40:00of the night
00:40:01was shattered.
00:40:04There's a race
00:40:05tomorrow evening.
00:40:06The prize is huge.
00:40:07Feeling the itch?
00:40:09Who's racing?
00:40:11The same arrogant
00:40:12group of wealthy
00:40:13young men.
00:40:14They've been throwing
00:40:15challenges at Evora.
00:40:17Oh,
00:40:19and the Brown family
00:40:20will be there too.
00:40:21What's the prize?
00:40:23A million dollars
00:40:25plus a limited
00:40:26edition sports car.
00:40:27Send me the details.
00:40:31Since they're throwing
00:40:32themselves at me,
00:40:33I see no reason
00:40:33to refuse.
00:40:38Four in the afternoon,
00:40:39I drive towards
00:40:40the racetrack
00:40:41in the suburb.
00:40:56I sign that name.
00:40:58the one they both dread
00:40:59and go mad over.
00:41:05Oh,
00:41:06it's Evora!
00:41:07Our idol Evora
00:41:08has arrived!
00:41:11Evora?
00:41:12It's probably
00:41:13just someone pretending.
00:41:19She wouldn't show up
00:41:20for a small race
00:41:20like this.
00:41:29Just then,
00:41:30that flashy blue
00:41:31GT-R
00:41:32pulled up
00:41:32right in front of me.
00:41:36Catherine?
00:41:38What are you doing here?
00:41:40This isn't a playground
00:41:41for careless drivers.
00:41:45If trash like you
00:41:46is allowed here,
00:41:47why shouldn't I be?
00:41:52Explain yourself!
00:41:57as if I'm going to.
00:42:01As expected,
00:42:03he got angry
00:42:03out of embarrassment,
00:42:05resorting to such
00:42:05underhanded,
00:42:06pathetic tactics.
00:42:08but he can't touch me.
00:42:10Laying hands
00:42:11on someone in public?
00:42:12That's a bad look.
00:42:13Let go!
00:42:14Don't you know
00:42:15who I am?
00:42:19Whoever you are,
00:42:20if you touch
00:42:21Catherine again,
00:42:23you'll regret it.
00:42:27We'll settle this
00:42:28on the race course.
00:42:29Hopefully you don't
00:42:30crash out
00:42:31in the first round.
00:42:33The signal light
00:42:34blinks on,
00:42:35and the five engines
00:42:36roar to life.
00:42:37The green light
00:42:38flashes,
00:42:38and Jackson's
00:42:39GT-R
00:42:39shoots forward.
00:42:40At the first corner,
00:42:42I execute a drift
00:42:43unlike anything
00:42:44he's ever seen
00:42:45and pull ahead.
00:42:45The next stretch
00:42:46of the track
00:42:47turns into a full-on
00:42:48display of my skill.
00:42:55I flow through
00:42:56every bed
00:42:56as if I designed
00:42:57them myself.
00:43:00It's Yvera!
00:43:01She's really
00:43:02the legendary Yvera!
00:43:10My gray car
00:43:11shoots through
00:43:12the final stretch
00:43:13and crosses
00:43:14the finish line first.
00:43:28I push open
00:43:29the door
00:43:29and pull off
00:43:30my helmet,
00:43:30my ponytail
00:43:31swinging in the breeze.
00:43:35My face stays calm,
00:43:37showing no excitement.
00:43:48You...
00:43:49You're really Yvera?
00:43:54Tell me,
00:43:56who's the idiot now?
00:43:59So you were tricking us
00:44:01this whole time?
00:44:02On the day I returned,
00:44:03I told all of you
00:44:05I liked racing.
00:44:06but not a single
00:44:07one of you
00:44:08ever bothered
00:44:08to listen.
00:44:11I step around
00:44:12Jackston
00:44:13and walk off
00:44:13without looking back.
00:44:19I never wanted
00:44:20to flaunt
00:44:20being Yvera.
00:44:22But since you
00:44:23kept pushing,
00:44:24now you get to see
00:44:25who the real
00:44:25Catherine Brown
00:44:26really is.
00:44:50He drops the video
00:44:52into the group chat
00:44:53and tags Liam
00:44:54directly.
00:44:58Liam,
00:44:59you have to see this.
00:45:00I swear it'll
00:45:01knock you sideways.
00:45:02Please.
00:45:03Nothing on earth
00:45:04surprises Liam.
00:45:05What nonsense
00:45:06are you stirring up now?
00:45:14Liam opens the video,
00:45:16sees me stepping out
00:45:17of the gray car,
00:45:18and a flicker
00:45:19of real shock
00:45:20crosses eyes.
00:45:22It's her.
00:45:27Okay,
00:45:28I'm genuinely
00:45:28blown away.
00:45:29Liam,
00:45:30what kind of
00:45:31divine helper
00:45:31do you have
00:45:32in your life?
00:45:32This woman
00:45:33is pure magic.
00:45:34Told you.
00:45:35I knew even Liam
00:45:36couldn't stay calm
00:45:37after this.
00:45:54Catherine,
00:45:55just how much
00:45:56are you still hiding?
00:46:02The next day,
00:46:03I walk into the
00:46:04classroom.
00:46:06Catherine,
00:46:07I got you
00:46:08your favorite
00:46:08coffee.
00:46:09I smile
00:46:10and pull out
00:46:10a delicate
00:46:11porcelain bottle
00:46:12from my bag.
00:46:14Apply this
00:46:14ointment
00:46:15to the spot
00:46:15before bed.
00:46:17You should see
00:46:18results in about
00:46:19a month.
00:46:19Thank you so much,
00:46:20Catherine.
00:46:21Do you really
00:46:22think it will work?
00:46:23A mocking laugh
00:46:24cuts through the air.
00:46:25Consistency
00:46:26is the key.
00:46:27I'm confident
00:46:28it'll heal.
00:46:32Seriously?
00:46:33You actually
00:46:34think a homemade
00:46:34cream will magically
00:46:35make you beautiful?
00:46:36My eyes darken
00:46:37as I fix Paige
00:46:38with a piercing
00:46:39stare.
00:46:41Apologize.
00:46:42Why should I
00:46:43apologize?
00:46:44I'm just speaking
00:46:45the truth.
00:46:46Catherine,
00:46:47Paige can be
00:46:48a bit blunt.
00:46:49She didn't mean
00:46:50to be hurtful.
00:46:52Paige was only
00:46:53trying to warn you.
00:46:54The ointments
00:46:55you're handing out
00:46:56aren't officially
00:46:56approved.
00:46:57If Claudian's
00:46:58condition gets worse,
00:47:00that could cause
00:47:01a big problem.
00:47:02It's to heal,
00:47:03not harm.
00:47:04why do you
00:47:05jump to conclusions
00:47:06without a shred
00:47:07of proof?
00:47:12Tell me,
00:47:13have you ever
00:47:14actually tested
00:47:14these ointments
00:47:15yourself?
00:47:16Claudian,
00:47:17use your ointment
00:47:18without any worries.
00:47:19If anything happens,
00:47:20I will take full
00:47:21responsibility.
00:47:23Jolene Brown,
00:47:24my medical skills
00:47:25aren't something
00:47:26outers to question.
00:47:31Catherine,
00:47:32I believe in you.
00:47:34Just as the school
00:47:35day wraps up,
00:47:36rain suddenly begins
00:47:37pouring down
00:47:37in heavy sheets.
00:47:38I had anticipated
00:47:39this,
00:47:40so an umbrella
00:47:41is tucked safely
00:47:42in my bag.
00:47:43Pulling it out,
00:47:44I open it and
00:47:44step out into
00:47:45the downpour.
00:47:47Catherine,
00:47:48wait!
00:47:48Can I share
00:47:49your umbrella
00:47:49with you?
00:47:50No.
00:47:52I turn around
00:47:53and see Jolene
00:47:54huddled beneath
00:47:54my umbrella.
00:47:57Without another word,
00:47:58I turn and walk
00:47:59away.
00:47:59before long,
00:48:01the rain
00:48:02soaks her
00:48:02to the bone.
00:48:05Catherine,
00:48:06it's pouring
00:48:07out here.
00:48:07I just wanted
00:48:08to walk
00:48:09with you
00:48:09for a bit.
00:48:10Jolene is left
00:48:11standing there,
00:48:12stunned.
00:48:16I already
00:48:17said no.
00:48:17My umbrella's
00:48:18too small
00:48:19for two.
00:48:20And honestly,
00:48:21I'm not comfortable
00:48:22being that close
00:48:23to anyone.
00:48:24Jolene is furious.
00:48:25A sleek black
00:48:27car rolls
00:48:27to a slow
00:48:28stop at the
00:48:28gate.
00:48:29It's Austin's.
00:48:34Austin!
00:48:36Jolene?
00:48:37How did you
00:48:38get this soaked?
00:48:39Didn't you
00:48:39bring an umbrella?
00:48:40You'll catch
00:48:40a cold like this.
00:48:41He glances
00:48:42out the window
00:48:43just in time
00:48:44to see me
00:48:44walking past
00:48:45holding my umbrella.
00:48:47Catherine,
00:48:48you had an umbrella.
00:48:49Why didn't you
00:48:49share it with Jolene?
00:48:51I don't know.
00:48:52I don't know.
00:48:53I don't know.
00:48:53I don't know.
00:48:54I don't know.
00:48:55I don't know.
00:48:57Do you really
00:48:58think we're
00:48:59close enough
00:48:59for that?
00:49:02Catherine!
00:49:03Jolene is
00:49:03family.
00:49:04Look at her.
00:49:05She's drenched.
00:49:06You had an umbrella
00:49:07and didn't even
00:49:07think to help her?
00:49:11Do you have
00:49:12any idea
00:49:13how cruel
00:49:13that looks?
00:49:14Exactly!
00:49:15Jolene's soaked
00:49:15because Catherine
00:49:16abandoned her.
00:49:17She went way
00:49:17too far!
00:49:19Before I speak,
00:49:20a nearby
00:49:21student steps in.
00:49:22Please.
00:49:23I saw Jolene
00:49:23give her umbrella
00:49:24to someone else
00:49:24just to look noble
00:49:25and then she tried
00:49:26to free float it
00:49:26off Catherine.
00:49:27Catherine didn't
00:49:28want to share,
00:49:29so what?
00:49:29Stopped trying
00:49:30to guilt trip her.
00:49:32So what?
00:49:33The rain was pouring.
00:49:34Sharing wouldn't
00:49:35kill her.
00:49:36Catherine's.
00:49:37Catherine's just
00:49:38being selfish.
00:49:39Paige, please.
00:49:39You don't even
00:49:40know what happened.
00:49:40Jolene gave her
00:49:41umbrella away
00:49:41just to look generous.
00:49:43Austin,
00:49:43that's not what happened.
00:49:45I only wanted
00:49:46to get closer to her.
00:49:48I didn't realize
00:49:49she disliked me so much.
00:49:50Keep your little
00:49:51performances away from me.
00:49:53Don't test me.
00:50:06In the classroom,
00:50:08I sit quietly
00:50:08at my desk,
00:50:09flipping through my notes.
00:50:10Catherine,
00:50:11I heard Jolene's
00:50:12really sick today.
00:50:13She didn't come to class.
00:50:14Rain and cold,
00:50:15it's pretty normal
00:50:15to feel under
00:50:16the weather afterward.
00:50:17A loud commotion
00:50:18erupts at the
00:50:18classroom entrance.
00:50:20Feel satisfied now,
00:50:22Catherine?
00:50:22Jolene's in the hospital
00:50:23with a high fever,
00:50:24all because you
00:50:25wouldn't share
00:50:25your stupid umbrella.
00:50:26I calmly shut
00:50:27my notebook
00:50:28and rise to my feet.
00:50:30A chilly,
00:50:31razor-thin smile
00:50:32forms on my lips.
00:50:34She's sick,
00:50:35and that's supposed
00:50:36to be my responsibility?
00:50:37Is this seriously
00:50:38your reaction?
00:50:39Jolene's hospitalized,
00:50:40and you're standing here
00:50:41tossing out sarcastic comments?
00:50:43And what exactly
00:50:43does her hospital sale
00:50:44have to do with me?
00:50:45Did I make her
00:50:46give away her umbrella?
00:50:47or did I physically
00:50:48send her into the storm?
00:50:50You!
00:50:51And honestly,
00:50:52if she were sick enough
00:50:52to be hospitalized,
00:50:54would she really have
00:50:55the energy to publicize
00:50:56it to the entire school?
00:50:58I asked her personally.
00:51:00Great.
00:51:00Tell me which hospital
00:51:02she's at.
00:51:02I'll arrange for
00:51:03top-tier specialists
00:51:04to check on her.
00:51:06I begin dialing,
00:51:07and Paige
00:51:08immediately panics.
00:51:10No!
00:51:10You don't have to do that!
00:51:12Jolene said
00:51:12she only needs rest.
00:51:16How did you figure out
00:51:17she was faking?
00:51:19I've watched her
00:51:20pull the same act
00:51:21more times
00:51:21than I can count.
00:51:23On the weekend,
00:51:25Claudian asks me
00:51:26to go shopping with her.
00:51:28We pause
00:51:29in front of dessert shop,
00:51:31across from
00:51:32a famous brand boutique.
00:51:34Jolene is there, too.
00:51:38Oh, look who it is, Catherine!
00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!
00:51:42Shopping, too, huh?
00:51:43What's the matter?
00:51:44Didn't expect to see you
00:51:46in a place like this?
00:51:47This isn't some place
00:51:48for just anyone.
00:51:49Bet that ice cream
00:51:50cost you half a day's wages?
00:51:52Jolene steps forward,
00:51:54and accidentally
00:51:55splashes her coffee
00:51:56onto my white dress.
00:51:58Oh, no, Catherine!
00:52:00I'm so sorry!
00:52:01I tripped!
00:52:01I didn't mean to!
00:52:03I look down
00:52:04at the stains on my dress,
00:52:06my eyes turning cold.
00:52:11Do you even know
00:52:12how much this dress costs?
00:52:13It's just a dress.
00:52:15I can buy you a new one.
00:52:18She pulls $200
00:52:20and tosses them at me.
00:52:23Use this
00:52:24to get yourself a new one.
00:52:25I look at the ice cream
00:52:27in my hand
00:52:33and press it
00:52:34onto Jolene's face.
00:52:36Oops!
00:52:37Sorry!
00:52:38My hand just slipped.
00:52:40It's just a little mess.
00:52:41I slip wipe
00:52:42and you'll be fine.
00:52:43Jolene screams.
00:52:47What on earth
00:52:48are you doing?
00:52:49Are you crazy?
00:52:51Anne steps out
00:52:52of the fitting room
00:52:52and gasps
00:52:53at Jolene's appearance.
00:52:59Jolene!
00:53:01What on earth
00:53:02happened to you?
00:53:03Mom,
00:53:04it's all my fault.
00:53:06I accidentally
00:53:07spilled coffee
00:53:07on Catherine's dress.
00:53:09I've already
00:53:10paid her back,
00:53:11but she's acting
00:53:12like it's not enough.
00:53:18Catherine,
00:53:19why are you
00:53:20picking on Jolene
00:53:21again?
00:53:24Anne pulls
00:53:25a thick wad
00:53:25of cash
00:53:26from her purse.
00:53:28Catherine,
00:53:29don't push this
00:53:30further.
00:53:30If it's money
00:53:31you want,
00:53:32apologize to Jolene.
00:53:34Not nearly enough.
00:53:36Yes,
00:53:37this is our
00:53:38anniversary edition.
00:53:39It retails
00:53:40for $180,000
00:53:41and is completely
00:53:42sold out.
00:53:43Either pay me
00:53:44three times
00:53:45its value,
00:53:46or I'll report
00:53:47this
00:53:47as intentional
00:53:49property damage
00:53:50to the police.
00:53:51Who said
00:53:52we wouldn't
00:53:52compensate?
00:53:53She reluctantly
00:53:54writes a check.
00:53:55Thank you.
00:53:56Take it.
00:53:57This is like
00:53:58burning money.
00:54:00Next time,
00:54:01I won't bother
00:54:01negotiating.
00:54:02I'll go straight
00:54:03to the police.
00:54:04I feel a deep
00:54:05satisfying pleasure.
00:54:06$540,000.
00:54:08That's going
00:54:08to sting
00:54:09for a while.
00:54:10Back in the
00:54:11Brown family,
00:54:11I let you
00:54:12walk all over me.
00:54:13I swallowed
00:54:14every insult.
00:54:15Not anymore.
00:54:16From now on,
00:54:17every single
00:54:18debt gets
00:54:19paid back
00:54:19with interest.
00:54:20After the meal,
00:54:21I wave goodbye
00:54:22to Claudian
00:54:23at the restaurant's
00:54:24entrance.
00:54:29I've only
00:54:30walked a short
00:54:30distance when
00:54:31a terrified
00:54:32scream cuts
00:54:33through the air.
00:54:34Help!
00:54:35Someone help!
00:54:37Is there a doctor
00:54:38here?
00:54:38I turn towards
00:54:39the commotion
00:54:39and see a
00:54:40well-dressed woman
00:54:41kneeling beside
00:54:42an elderly woman
00:54:43who has collapsed.
00:54:44Wake up!
00:54:45I push through
00:54:45the crowd
00:54:46and kneel
00:54:46down to
00:54:47examine her.
00:54:52Ma'am,
00:54:53don't panic.
00:54:53Does she have
00:54:54a history
00:54:54of heart disease?
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:57She has
00:54:58coronary heart
00:54:58disease.
00:55:01I reach
00:55:02into my bag
00:55:03and pull out
00:55:03a small bottle
00:55:04of nitroglycerin
00:55:05pills.
00:55:06I slide a
00:55:07tablet under
00:55:08her tongue
00:55:08and begins CPR.
00:55:22After several
00:55:23long minutes,
00:55:24the elderly
00:55:25woman lets
00:55:26out a faint
00:55:26groan.
00:55:28Paramedics
00:55:29arrive and
00:55:30take over.
00:55:32Very professional.
00:55:33You've brought
00:55:34us precious time.
00:55:36Which hospital
00:55:37do you work at?
00:55:38I have to
00:55:39thank you
00:55:39properly.
00:55:45I'm still
00:55:45a student.
00:55:46Helping people
00:55:47is just
00:55:47something I
00:55:47have to do.
00:55:54I quietly
00:55:55gather my
00:55:56things and
00:55:56slip away
00:55:57while the
00:55:57crowd watches
00:55:58with admiration.
00:55:59The next
00:56:00morning,
00:56:01I intentionally
00:56:01leave home
00:56:02early,
00:56:03but the
00:56:03Browns are
00:56:04already lying
00:56:04in wait
00:56:05at the
00:56:05school entrance.
00:56:08Catherine!
00:56:11Jolene
00:56:11plunges to
00:56:12hug me,
00:56:12but I
00:56:12smoothly
00:56:13dodge her.
00:56:15Catherine,
00:56:16come home
00:56:16with me.
00:56:17Your
00:56:18grandmother's
00:56:18back and
00:56:19wants to
00:56:19see you.
00:56:23Sorry,
00:56:24but I don't
00:56:24really know
00:56:25you people.
00:56:26We don't
00:56:26have time
00:56:27for your
00:56:27nonsense.
00:56:28You're
00:56:28coming home
00:56:28with us
00:56:29today.
00:56:32Since
00:56:33it's the
00:56:33busiest
00:56:33time for
00:56:34students
00:56:34arriving,
00:56:35a bunch
00:56:36of
00:56:36curious
00:56:36students
00:56:37have
00:56:37already
00:56:37stopped
00:56:38to
00:56:38watch.
00:56:41A
00:56:41sleek
00:56:42black
00:56:42Bentley
00:56:42eases to
00:56:43a stop
00:56:43right beside
00:56:44us.
00:56:45The window
00:56:46lowers smoothly
00:56:47and Liam's
00:56:48sharply
00:56:48contoured
00:56:49face
00:56:49comes into
00:56:49view.
00:56:53Catherine,
00:56:54get in
00:56:54the car.
00:56:59I've got
00:57:00class in a few
00:57:00minutes.
00:57:01What brings
00:57:02you here so
00:57:02early?
00:57:05they didn't
00:57:05bother you,
00:57:06did they?
00:57:06No.
00:57:07They're
00:57:08irrelevant.
00:57:09I'm heading
00:57:09in.
00:57:12And without
00:57:13waiting for
00:57:14his response,
00:57:15I simply
00:57:15turn and
00:57:16leave.
00:57:19The browns
00:57:20erupt the
00:57:21moment I
00:57:21brush past
00:57:22them like
00:57:22they're
00:57:22strangers
00:57:23on the
00:57:23street.
00:57:24Are we
00:57:24seriously
00:57:25letting that
00:57:25girl walk
00:57:26all over
00:57:26us?
00:57:28she might
00:57:29ignore us
00:57:29but someone
00:57:30else can
00:57:31get through
00:57:31to her.
00:57:32She won't
00:57:32dare skip
00:57:33her grandmother's
00:57:33birthday
00:57:34banquet.
00:57:37She'll
00:57:37show up
00:57:38for that.
00:57:39After my
00:57:39classes wrap
00:57:40up, I
00:57:40head home
00:57:41ready to
00:57:42relax until
00:57:42my phone
00:57:43starts buzzing
00:57:44in my
00:57:44pocket.
00:57:48Catherine,
00:57:49I'm sending
00:57:49you an
00:57:49address.
00:57:50Come eat
00:57:50with us.
00:57:51They've got
00:57:51all your
00:57:51favorites and
00:57:52there's a
00:57:53surprise for
00:57:53you too.
00:57:54I hop
00:57:55into a
00:57:55cab, take
00:57:56the elevator
00:57:57up, and
00:57:58text Jared.
00:58:00Which room
00:58:01are you guys
00:58:02in?
00:58:03The elevator
00:58:04doors slide
00:58:05open, and
00:58:06I walk
00:58:06out, my
00:58:07eyes glued
00:58:07to my
00:58:08phone.
00:58:10Before I
00:58:11can take
00:58:11two steps, a
00:58:12hand suddenly
00:58:13pulls me
00:58:13aside.
00:58:14So this
00:58:15is who you
00:58:15really are?
00:58:16Waiting all
00:58:17this time just
00:58:17to pull
00:58:18this?
00:58:18You
00:58:19followed me
00:58:19here?
00:58:20Declan, of
00:58:21course.
00:58:22What?
00:58:23Touched a
00:58:24nerve?
00:58:24You show
00:58:25up where I
00:58:25hang out
00:58:26hoping I'll
00:58:26notice you
00:58:27again?
00:58:28Catherine, you
00:58:29really haven't
00:58:30changed.
00:58:31Still using the
00:58:32same desperate
00:58:32tricks.
00:58:33Isn't she that
00:58:33brown family
00:58:34daughter?
00:58:34The one they
00:58:34recently reclaimed?
00:58:35Yep.
00:58:36Looks like she's
00:58:37still running
00:58:37after Declan
00:58:37like always.
00:58:38Declan, drop
00:58:39the ego.
00:58:39I'm here for
00:58:40someone else.
00:58:40You don't
00:58:40even make the
00:58:41top hundred.
00:58:42Stop acting
00:58:42like the world
00:58:43revolves around
00:58:43you.
00:58:45Aha, so I
00:58:46got to you.
00:58:47That's why
00:58:48you're biting
00:58:48back?
00:58:49Do me a favor
00:58:50and stay away.
00:58:51I don't want
00:58:52anyone assuming
00:58:52we have his
00:58:53spirit.
00:58:55I stride
00:58:56toward the
00:58:57highest tier
00:58:57private suite
00:58:58without looking
00:58:59back.
00:59:07Whoa, what
00:59:09happened to you?
00:59:13I'm fine.
00:59:23Catherine, wait
00:59:24till you see
00:59:25this.
00:59:35Hold on.
00:59:37Is that...
00:59:37Yep.
00:59:38The one from
00:59:39the Veritas auction
00:59:40last month.
00:59:41You kept staring
00:59:41at it, so I
00:59:43figured I'd just
00:59:43buy the damn
00:59:44thing for you.
00:59:45Thanks, Gerald.
00:59:47Hey, don't go
00:59:48formal on me.
00:59:49Something like this
00:59:50deserves an owner
00:59:51who actually gets
00:59:52it.
00:59:52you.
01:00:20You're listening to me,
01:00:21it's not
01:00:22it's not
01:00:22you.
01:00:22you.
01:00:22You're listening to me,
01:00:22Did the Browns push you too far again?
01:00:25I'm fine, Auntie.
01:00:26I left on my own terms.
01:00:28Your grandmother returned.
01:00:30You heard?
01:00:32Her birthday banquet is next week.
01:00:34She actually called me earlier
01:00:36and told me to ask you to come.
01:00:38Auntie,
01:00:39I'm no longer part of the Brown family.
01:00:42Catherine, please.
01:00:44She's getting older.
01:00:46Just give her this one courtesy.
01:00:48Alright.
01:00:49I'll show up on time.
01:00:51I exhale slowly.
01:00:52So this is happening.
01:00:54No dodging it now.
01:00:55My eyes move back to the gemstone in its wooden box.
01:00:58It would make a clean, elegant birthday gift.
01:01:01The night of Analia's birthday banquet has come.
01:01:04The Brown estate glows with extravagant decorations.
01:01:10I stroll in wearing simple, casual clothes.
01:01:14Jolene drifts graciously through the guests
01:01:16in a blush-pink couture gown.
01:01:19Low whispers swirl around the gathered guests
01:01:21about how shabby I look.
01:01:24Lawrence's and Anna's expressions grow cold and tense.
01:01:27Isn't that the one who broke ties with the Browns?
01:01:30And she just shows up to Grandma's birthday like that?
01:01:35Wild or not, she's stunning.
01:01:38Those sharp features in that presence can't be ignored.
01:01:42Jolene steps forward,
01:01:44her smile dazzling and perfectly practiced.
01:01:47Grandma, happy birthday!
01:01:49I know how much you adore gemstones,
01:01:51so I asked the auction house
01:01:53to find something really special for you.
01:01:55A rare warm gem.
01:02:01And you, Catherine?
01:02:03What did you bring?
01:02:05I reach into my black bag
01:02:06and pull out a small wooden box.
01:02:09As I open the lid,
01:02:12the room falls deathly silent.
01:02:14Nestled inside is another gemstone.
01:02:18Huh?
01:02:19To give Grandma a fake?
01:02:21That's just disrespectful.
01:02:24Catherine?
01:02:25Fake?
01:02:26Catherine,
01:02:27don't you realize how humiliating this is for our family?
01:02:31Amid the crowd's murmurs and accusations,
01:02:34I stay composed.
01:02:41You say mine's a fake?
01:02:43On what proof?
01:02:45Maybe yours is the counterfeit.
01:02:47Isn't it obvious?
01:02:48This gem is incredibly rare.
01:02:51There can't be two exactly the same.
01:02:57Mine's been authenticated by several experts.
01:03:00It's the real deal.
01:03:02A knowing smile curves my lips
01:03:04as I bring my gem up
01:03:06and lightly press it against an Aaliyah's wrist.
01:03:09This is it!
01:03:11They say a genuine warm gem changes color
01:03:14depending on its wearer's vitality.
01:03:15It's a unique, almost magical trait.
01:03:19Why don't we test Jolene's gem the same way?
01:03:23She tried to pin it on Catherine
01:03:25when it was her own gift that was false.
01:03:27That's impossible!
01:03:28I paid 10 million for this
01:03:30at the Luxurious Auction House!
01:03:32I even have the receipt and certificate to prove it!
01:03:35Pulling out her phone,
01:03:36she quickly dials the number.
01:03:37What she hears makes her eyes widened in shock.
01:03:40Just then,
01:03:41someone glances at their phone and blurts out,
01:03:43The Luxurious Auction House director
01:03:45got hooked on gambling.
01:03:48Jolene stumbles backward,
01:03:50dropping her phone with a loud clatter.
01:03:52Today is my birthday celebration.
01:03:55Let's put an end to this now.
01:03:57Jolene acted with good intentions,
01:03:59but was misled.
01:03:59For the very first time,
01:04:02Anala looks at me without that usual air of disappointment.
01:04:07You know, Catherine,
01:04:09I actually like this.
01:04:15Jolene bites down hard on her lower lip,
01:04:17her nails digging into her palm.
01:04:20Justine approaches me.
01:04:23Catherine,
01:04:24I'm sorry about everything that went down earlier.
01:04:28I'm okay.
01:04:29You only stop feeling hurt
01:04:31when you stop expecting anything from anyone.
01:04:34It's okay.
01:04:35Not long after,
01:04:36friends call Justina away.
01:04:39A maid makes her way around,
01:04:41offering champagne.
01:04:42When she gets to me,
01:04:43I decline.
01:04:45The maid hurries away,
01:04:47and comes back moments later,
01:04:49holding a glass of juice.
01:04:50I study the juice for a moment.
01:04:53I lift the glass
01:04:54and drink it down in one steady guilt.
01:04:56A few minutes pass
01:04:57before the same maid shows up again.
01:05:00I'm so, so sorry.
01:05:02I didn't mean for this to happen.
01:05:04She slips,
01:05:05and the entire drink splashes across my outfit.
01:05:09Catherine, I'm really sorry.
01:05:11The staff can be a bit careless.
01:05:13Why don't you slip into one of my dresses?
01:05:14I've got tons upstairs.
01:05:15You can use the guest room to change.
01:05:17Wow.
01:05:17The rules in this house are intriguing,
01:05:19to say the least.
01:05:20I hear every bit of the sarcasm.
01:05:22Sophia is practically mocking Jolene,
01:05:24who acts like she owns the place.
01:05:26The maid exhales,
01:05:27relieved beyond measure,
01:05:29and hurries forward.
01:05:30I start after her,
01:05:31but pause to throw Jolene one last look.
01:05:34The maid leads me far inside the mansion,
01:05:37to a guest room.
01:05:38As soon as she leaves,
01:05:39the door shuts quietly,
01:05:41and I hear the lock slide into place.
01:05:44I go over to check the window,
01:05:47but it's stuck tight,
01:05:48probably locked from the outside.
01:05:50A strange warmth begins spreading under my skin.
01:05:54I take a steady breath,
01:05:55pull a small ceramic file from my pocket,
01:05:58and swallow an antidote.
01:06:00I had drunk the tampered juice,
01:06:02simply because I wanted to see the full extent of Jolene's trap.
01:06:10A few moments later,
01:06:11I hear faint, uneven footsteps outside the door.
01:06:15I lay down on the bed,
01:06:17completely still and quiet.
01:06:20The door creaks open slowly.
01:06:25Getting impatient, huh?
01:06:27Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:06:29I'll take real good care of you.
01:06:31But suddenly,
01:06:32my eyes snap wide open.
01:06:36The scream tears from him.
01:06:38He crumples to the floor in an instant,
01:06:42folding over and wrigling on the carpet.
01:06:45I calmly step over him and shut the door behind me.
01:06:49I ease into the corner just outside,
01:06:51ready to watch.
01:06:52Not long after,
01:06:53Jolene appears,
01:06:55sneaking cautiously down the hall.
01:06:59She presses her ear against the door,
01:07:01then pulls it wide open.
01:07:12She barely has time to register it
01:07:14before the man lunges at her.
01:07:18Stay away!
01:07:20Get off me!
01:07:21Man, pretty girl.
01:07:23The other one took a heap,
01:07:24but you?
01:07:25You'll do just fine.
01:07:26Don't you dare touch me!
01:07:28I'm a brown.
01:07:29Touch me and you're dead.
01:07:33Oh, man, yeah?
01:07:36That just makes it way more interesting.
01:07:39Ah!
01:07:39Ah!
01:07:40Help!
01:07:41Help!
01:07:42Let me go!
01:07:45After closing the door behind me,
01:07:47I calmly make my way back to the banquet hall.
01:07:50Sophia, who had earlier stood by my side,
01:07:53approaches with a warm smile
01:07:54and extends her hand.
01:07:55I'm Sophia Flynn.
01:07:57How about we get better acquainted?
01:08:00Catherine Brown,
01:08:01it's a pleasure to meet you.
01:08:02About 15 minutes later,
01:08:04a sudden disturbance breaks out
01:08:05outside the banquet hall.
01:08:07The crowd moves towards the guest room.
01:08:11As they get closer,
01:08:12heavy breathing and a woman's desperate screams
01:08:14reach their ears.
01:08:19Anne's face drains of color.
01:08:21What are you waiting for?
01:08:23Get that door down now!
01:08:24A few strong servants step up
01:08:27and smash the door open.
01:08:28inside,
01:08:29the shocking scene unfolds
01:08:31for everyone to see.
01:08:33Jolene,
01:08:34her hair mussy and clothes rumpled,
01:08:37is pinned down by an unfamiliar man.
01:08:39Seeing the crowd at the doorway,
01:08:41she breaks down in tears.
01:08:43Mom!
01:08:43It was Catherine!
01:08:44She tricked me!
01:08:46She planned all of this!
01:08:50Despite the accusations,
01:08:52I don't flinch.
01:08:53Jolene,
01:08:54where are you getting this from?
01:08:55The maid ruined my dress,
01:08:57and you sent her to fetch me some clothes.
01:08:59But I waited ages,
01:09:00and no one came,
01:09:01so I left.
01:09:02When I left,
01:09:03the room was empty.
01:09:04I have no idea how you ended up here.
01:09:06How could you be so heartless?
01:09:09Jolene is your sister!
01:09:11I was with Miss Flynn
01:09:13in the banquet hall the entire time.
01:09:15Many guests can vouch for that.
01:09:17How can you stoop to such tactics?
01:09:21Regarding Jolene,
01:09:22we'll have a chance to question
01:09:23the man soon enough.
01:09:27What happened today
01:09:28was a private family matter.
01:09:30Anyone who breathes a word of it
01:09:32will be making an enemy
01:09:33of the Brown family.
01:09:34Anne grabs her trembling daughter
01:09:36and practically drags Jolene out.
01:09:38The man is also hauled away.
01:09:45What a night.
01:09:47You handled that like a pro.
01:09:51It was simply responding
01:09:52to what she started.
01:09:54If she had stayed in her lane,
01:09:56none of this would have happened.
01:09:57Time after time,
01:09:59Jolene tried to set me up.
01:10:00Did she really think
01:10:01I was still the same Catherine
01:10:03who'd just take it lying down?
01:10:05What happened tonight?
01:10:07She brought it on herself.
01:10:09Morning sunlight pours in
01:10:11through the large window
01:10:12casting soft highlights
01:10:13across his sharp jawline.
01:10:15Mr. Warren.
01:10:16Morning.
01:10:17Let's get started.
01:10:18Without hesitation,
01:10:19he reaches for the buttons
01:10:20of his shirt and pulls it up,
01:10:21exposing his bare chest.
01:10:23I slip into professional mode,
01:10:25pick up my medical kit
01:10:26and move to his side.
01:10:28Need a hand handling the browns?
01:10:31My hands work with practiced confidence.
01:10:34Not right now.
01:10:35I've got it covered.
01:10:38Once the session wraps up,
01:10:40I'm packing away my tools
01:10:41when Liam slowly pushes off the sofa.
01:10:44He stands steady, clear-headed.
01:10:46You're healing well.
01:10:49You're really skilled at this.
01:10:50Thanks.
01:10:51Keep this up,
01:10:52and one more session
01:10:53and you'll be good as new.
01:10:54Once I'm fully better,
01:10:55what do you want in exchange?
01:10:57You've already paid
01:10:58for the treatments,
01:10:59but if I ever need help
01:11:01down the road,
01:11:01I hope you'll remember
01:11:02the understanding we have today.
01:11:04Sounds fair.
01:11:05Just then,
01:11:06a knock comes at the door
01:11:07and a maid enters.
01:11:08Sir,
01:11:09Mr. Cassius Warren has arrived.
01:11:11His tone turns icy
01:11:12in an instant.
01:11:13The smile that had just been there
01:11:14disappears completely.
01:11:15Tell him to wait for me
01:11:16in the living room.
01:11:17When I enter the living room,
01:11:19a man in a dark gray suit
01:11:21glances my way.
01:11:22He appears to be in his 50s,
01:11:24sharing some resemblance with Liam.
01:11:31Our eyes lock for a moment.
01:11:33I simply give a small nod
01:11:35and exit smoothly.
01:11:38The intense,
01:11:39almost threatening look
01:11:41from that middle-aged man
01:11:42has set off warning bells
01:11:43in my mind.
01:11:47I let out a soft sigh.
01:11:49I deliberately instruct my driver
01:11:51to take several detours
01:11:52just to make sure
01:11:53no one is tailing me
01:11:54before finally heading back
01:11:55to my apartment.
01:12:00No sooner have I settled in
01:12:02than my phone rings.
01:12:03It's Sophia.
01:12:05Hey Catherine,
01:12:06got a minute?
01:12:07There's this socialite gala
01:12:09happening next week.
01:12:10Want to come along
01:12:11and just have some fun?
01:12:12Sounds good.
01:12:13When is it exactly?
01:12:14Do I need to prepare
01:12:15anything special?
01:12:16It's next Saturday evening
01:12:17at Vantage Oasis.
01:12:18Just wear a cocktail dress.
01:12:20I'll come pick you up
01:12:21and we can go together.
01:12:23Okay, that would work.
01:12:24Thank you so much.
01:12:27I'll go park the car.
01:12:29Sophia goes off
01:12:30to find a parking spot,
01:12:32leaving me to make my way
01:12:33into the building.
01:12:40Just as I step into the lobby,
01:12:42ready to catch the elevator up,
01:12:44I bump on Jalene.
01:12:54Catherine?
01:12:55What are you doing here?
01:12:57So, you're here for the gala?
01:12:59You have an invitation, I hope?
01:13:01Whose little lapdog are you?
01:13:03Running wild and barking
01:13:05at everyone without a care.
01:13:08Excuse me?
01:13:09Who exactly are you insulting?
01:13:11Listen, Catherine,
01:13:13you can't just waltz
01:13:14into this kind of event
01:13:15wearing a dress.
01:13:16Without a real invite,
01:13:18you'll end up humiliated
01:13:19when security shows you the door.
01:13:22Come on, Catherine.
01:13:24Ready to head up?
01:13:25Let's not keep the others waiting.
01:13:37Don't pay her any mind.
01:13:39The organizers gave me
01:13:40two invitations this year.
01:13:42I smile back,
01:13:44appreciating Sophia's subtle way
01:13:46of handling things.
01:14:00Everyone,
01:14:01meet my friend Catherine Brown.
01:14:03I hope you'll look out
01:14:04for her from now on.
01:14:06This gala really is slipping.
01:14:07Apparently, just anyone
01:14:08can walk in now.
01:14:10Some people really try too hard,
01:14:12as if showing up here
01:14:13will magically upgrade
01:14:14their pleas in society.
01:14:17Watch your mouth.
01:14:18Catherine is a brown.
01:14:20Have some respect.
01:14:21Please don't be harsh.
01:14:22My sister doesn't attend events
01:14:24like this often.
01:14:25She's just here
01:14:26to get some exposure.
01:14:28Don't go snapping photos
01:14:29willy-nilly.
01:14:30If I see you flooding
01:14:31social media with our images
01:14:33just to boost your status,
01:14:34I won't hesitate to sue.
01:14:45If you want to play dirty,
01:14:47I'll give you a front row seat.
01:14:49Your status comes from
01:14:51flaunting fake jewelries?
01:14:53And what would a country girl
01:14:55like you possibly understand
01:14:56about jewelry?
01:14:59That's Maris Core,
01:15:00an iconic design
01:15:01by Davina Gemma
01:15:02from the 60s,
01:15:03centered around
01:15:04a rare cushion-cut diamond
01:15:05framed by a dozen emeralds.
01:15:08The real necklace
01:15:09was sold at last year's
01:15:10Veritas auction
01:15:11for $36 million,
01:15:13bought anonymously.
01:15:15I have to admit,
01:15:17you've got an eye for quality.
01:15:18It is lovely,
01:15:19I'll give you that,
01:15:20but the issue is that
01:15:21yours isn't authentic.
01:15:22Yes,
01:15:23the center stone
01:15:24is about the right size,
01:15:25but it's missing the clarity
01:15:26a genuine one would have.
01:15:27They look like fresh
01:15:28lab-made pieces.
01:15:30You're talking nonsense!
01:15:31My father gave this to me
01:15:32for my birthday!
01:15:33Janice,
01:15:34don't let my sister
01:15:35get to you.
01:15:36She's been out of touch
01:15:37for years,
01:15:37she probably hasn't even seen
01:15:39jewelry of this caliber.
01:15:40It's easy for her
01:15:41to misjudge.
01:15:42I stay calm,
01:15:43shifting my gaze
01:15:44to the other woman's wrist.
01:15:45Your bracelet
01:15:46actually has
01:15:47decent translucency,
01:15:48but it's been
01:15:49chemically treated
01:15:50and filled with resin.
01:15:52Wearing that too long
01:15:53isn't good
01:15:53for your health.
01:15:55Just so you know.
01:15:56The woman snatches
01:15:57her hand back,
01:15:57going pale.
01:16:00I turn to Jolene.
01:16:03Your necklace
01:16:04is no better,
01:16:05Jolene.
01:16:05Those diamonds
01:16:06look fake too.
01:16:09Jolene's fingers
01:16:10shoot toward her ear
01:16:11but stop halfway.
01:16:12The whole hall
01:16:13goes completely still.
01:16:16That was savage.
01:16:17You nailed
01:16:18that comeback perfectly.
01:16:22I take a sip
01:16:23from my glass
01:16:24and feel not
01:16:25a trace of guilt.
01:16:26Fake jewelry?
01:16:27Fine.
01:16:28Wear it quietly
01:16:29and no one
01:16:29will say a word.
01:16:30But you had to
01:16:31step on me
01:16:32to feel taller.
01:16:33So don't blame me
01:16:34for exposing
01:16:35your fake jewelry.
01:16:36Just you wait.
01:16:38I'm calling in
01:16:40a top jewelry expert
01:16:41right now.
01:16:43Be my guest.
01:16:45Relax, Janice.
01:16:47It's a beautiful day.
01:16:48There's no need
01:16:49to let some petty
01:16:50nonsense spoil it.
01:16:51Petty?
01:16:52This isn't just about
01:16:53me wearing a fake.
01:16:55She's insulting
01:16:56the honor
01:16:56of the whole Lopez family.
01:17:08The craftsmanship
01:17:09is extraordinary
01:17:10but something is off.
01:17:12The cut
01:17:12and the color
01:17:13don't match
01:17:14the authentic
01:17:14Maris core.
01:17:17Miss Lopez,
01:17:18I'm afraid
01:17:19this necklace
01:17:20is indeed a replica.
01:17:22What?
01:17:23That can't be.
01:17:25The craftsmanship
01:17:26is exceptionally convincing,
01:17:27almost flawless.
01:17:28But as Miss Brown
01:17:29pointed out,
01:17:30the cutting style
01:17:31and the emerald shade
01:17:32reveal subtle differences.
01:17:33Impressive eye,
01:17:34Miss Brown.
01:17:35Only the most skilled
01:17:36experts can detect
01:17:37such subtle distinctions.
01:17:38May I ask
01:17:39who has been your teacher?
01:17:41My mentor
01:17:42is Langston Moore.
01:17:45So,
01:17:46you are the esteemed
01:17:47protege of Mr. Moore.
01:17:48An honor
01:17:49to meet you at last.
01:17:50Your championship
01:17:51at the last
01:17:51international competition
01:17:52was truly well deserved.
01:17:54No wonder
01:17:55she spotted the fake
01:17:56so easily.
01:17:56She's Langston Moore's
01:17:58student.
01:18:01That's the world's
01:18:02top jewelry appraiser.
01:18:03The Lopez family
01:18:04really embarrassed
01:18:05themselves today.
01:18:06I can't stay here.
01:18:08I can't let them
01:18:08see me like this.
01:18:18Catherine,
01:18:19when did you
01:18:20pick all this up?
01:18:21You never said
01:18:22a word about it
01:18:23to any of us.
01:18:26There's a lot
01:18:26you don't know,
01:18:27mostly because
01:18:28you never bothered
01:18:29to ask.
01:18:33Catherine,
01:18:34what have you done
01:18:34to Jolaine now?
01:18:35I don't know
01:18:35what you're talking
01:18:36about,
01:18:36Austin.
01:18:37I've been sitting
01:18:37here all night
01:18:38and Jolaine
01:18:38hasn't said a word
01:18:39to me.
01:18:39And I'm not the one
01:18:40who's been sending
01:18:40her all those
01:18:41blue roses.
01:18:44Austin,
01:18:44shouldn't you find
01:18:45out what really
01:18:45happened first?
01:18:46It's Catherine
01:18:47who got wrong today.
01:18:48What about
01:18:49Miss Lopez?
01:18:50How could you
01:18:50upset her
01:18:51and make her cry?
01:18:52You're going
01:18:52to the Lopez
01:18:53residence right now
01:18:54to apologize.
01:18:55Apologize?
01:18:56For what?
01:18:57Telling the truth
01:18:58and exposing
01:18:59Janice's fake jewelry
01:19:00in front of everyone?
01:19:01What nonsense?
01:19:03Miss Lopez
01:19:04wouldn't be caught
01:19:04dead wearing fakes.
01:19:05You're just making
01:19:06up lies to slander
01:19:07her.
01:19:08Mr. Brown,
01:19:09Miss Brown's
01:19:09assessment is
01:19:10absolutely right.
01:19:11This Mari's core
01:19:12necklace is a very
01:19:13well-maked replica
01:19:13and her appraisal
01:19:14skills surpass
01:19:15even mine.
01:19:16Isn't Austin
01:19:17being way too
01:19:18biased?
01:19:18He's not even
01:19:19listening to the
01:19:19expert.
01:19:20I heard the
01:19:20Browns kicked out
01:19:21their own
01:19:21biological daughter
01:19:22to make room
01:19:23for that adopted
01:19:24girl Jolaine.
01:19:25How ridiculous.
01:19:27Still,
01:19:27you had no right
01:19:28to humiliate Miss
01:19:29Lopez like that
01:19:29in public.
01:19:30Our families have
01:19:31shared a close bond
01:19:32for generations.
01:19:33Did you ever
01:19:34stop to think
01:19:34about how damaging
01:19:35this could be
01:19:36for the Brown group?
01:19:37But what about
01:19:37when Janice openly
01:19:38mocked me for being
01:19:39from the countryside?
01:19:40When they all
01:19:41schemed together
01:19:41to humiliate me
01:19:42in front of everyone?
01:19:43Did anyone ever
01:19:43care how that felt?
01:19:44Have any of you
01:19:45truly treated me
01:19:46like family at all?
01:19:47If not,
01:19:48then I,
01:19:48Catherine,
01:19:49and the Browns
01:19:49are better off
01:19:50going our separate
01:19:50ways from this
01:19:51day forward.
01:19:52Sorry for the
01:19:53disruption and ruining
01:19:54everyone's good time.
01:19:55I'll be taking
01:19:56my leave now.
01:20:00The days
01:20:00passed quietly
01:20:01with nothing
01:20:02but my regular
01:20:03school routine
01:20:03and lab work.
01:20:04Jolene had kept
01:20:05an unusually low
01:20:06profile ever since
01:20:07the banquet,
01:20:08not daring
01:20:09to provoke me
01:20:09again.
01:20:14So many missed
01:20:15calls.
01:20:16What's going on?
01:20:21Why are you
01:20:21answering Aunt
01:20:22Justina's phone?
01:20:23What happened
01:20:23to her?
01:20:24Watch your tone
01:20:24with me,
01:20:25you ungrateful brat.
01:20:26I haven't even
01:20:27dealt with the
01:20:27mess you made.
01:20:28Thanks to you
01:20:29offending Miss Lopez,
01:20:30the Lopez group
01:20:31has just terminated
01:20:31all their cooperation
01:20:32with us.
01:20:33You will find time
01:20:34to go to the Lopez
01:20:35residence and apologize
01:20:36to Miss Lopez
01:20:37immediately.
01:20:38Keep dreaming.
01:20:39You ungrateful
01:20:40little wolf.
01:20:41If you refuse
01:20:42to listen to me,
01:20:43are you planning
01:20:44to ignore your aunt's
01:20:45life and death
01:20:46situation too?
01:20:47What happened
01:20:48to Aunt Justina?
01:20:49Brain tumor.
01:20:50It's pressing
01:20:51directly on the nerves.
01:20:52Surgery is
01:20:53extremely risky.
01:20:54I'm on my way.
01:21:00Out of my way.
01:21:01Sign this.
01:21:02Sign the share
01:21:03transfer agreement
01:21:04and I'll let you
01:21:04inside to see her.
01:21:07How dare they use
01:21:08Justina's life
01:21:09as a bargaining chip?
01:21:10They have no
01:21:11bottom line.
01:21:12You crazy girl.
01:21:13If you dare lay
01:21:14a hand on me,
01:21:15you'll be condemned
01:21:15for your unfailed
01:21:16behavior.
01:21:17Heaven will strike
01:21:18you down.
01:21:19Then move.
01:21:20Before I actually
01:21:21decide to follow
01:21:22through.
01:21:23Lawrence?
01:21:24Austin?
01:21:26Is that Catherine
01:21:27out there?
01:21:28Let her in.
01:21:38My poor little
01:21:39Catherine.
01:21:40They must have
01:21:41given her a hard
01:21:42time again.
01:21:46It's just the same
01:21:47old health problems,
01:21:48nothing to worry
01:21:48about.
01:21:50But were they
01:21:51bothering you out
01:21:52there just now?
01:21:53Don't worry about me.
01:21:54I'm perfectly fine.
01:21:55How are you feeling
01:21:56right now, really?
01:21:57Be honest with me.
01:21:58Justina, don't push
01:21:59yourself too hard.
01:22:00The doctors made it
01:22:01clear this condition
01:22:01can't wait any longer.
01:22:02Only Dr. Huxley-Jones
01:22:04can perform this
01:22:04surgery with the
01:22:05highest success rate.
01:22:06Jolene practically
01:22:07bent over back to
01:22:07get him to agree to
01:22:08take the case.
01:22:09Show me her complete
01:22:10medical records and
01:22:11all the scan images
01:22:12right now.
01:22:12Justina has been
01:22:13nothing but kind to
01:22:13you your whole life,
01:22:14hasn't she?
01:22:15Now that she's
01:22:15gravely ill, you
01:22:16won't just sit back
01:22:16and let her die,
01:22:17will you?
01:22:17Here's the deal.
01:22:18Sign over the Brown
01:22:19Group shares to the
01:22:19family, and Jolene
01:22:20will convince Dr. Huxley
01:22:21to perform the
01:22:22surgery immediately.
01:22:23We're also willing to
01:22:23overlook the whole
01:22:28Lawrence, Austin, how
01:22:29can you stoop so low
01:22:30as to use my sickness
01:22:31as a weapon against
01:22:31Catherine?
01:22:32This is absolutely
01:22:33shameless.
01:22:33I won't stand for
01:22:34this.
01:22:34Stop it right now!
01:22:35Aunt Justina, please
01:22:37don't be angry.
01:22:38Dad's just worried
01:22:39about all those
01:22:39Brown Group shares
01:22:40Catherine holds.
01:22:41If she's not careful,
01:22:42she could be taken
01:22:43advantage of, which
01:22:44would cause huge
01:22:45problems.
01:22:47That's why he wants
01:22:47to take this chance
01:22:48to get the shares
01:22:49back into the family's
01:22:50hands.
01:22:52Catherine, my
01:22:53condition is severe,
01:22:54and it probably
01:22:55will get better.
01:22:57even if you sign,
01:22:59the surgery might
01:23:00not work.
01:23:01I come to accept
01:23:02that you should
01:23:03leave while you
01:23:04still can.
01:23:06Aunt Justina, I'll
01:23:07be the one to
01:23:08perform your surgery.
01:23:09What could you
01:23:09possibly have to
01:23:10back that up with
01:23:11those so-called
01:23:11skills you picked
01:23:12up from nowhere?
01:23:13Catherine, don't
01:23:14make a fool of
01:23:14yourself and promise
01:23:15more than you can
01:23:15deliver.
01:23:16If Justina's
01:23:16condition worsens
01:23:17because of your
01:23:17arrogance, can you
01:23:18really bear the
01:23:19consequences?
01:23:19Can you live with
01:23:20that guilt?
01:23:21Then we'll just
01:23:21have to wait and
01:23:22see.
01:23:23And don't you ever
01:23:24dare use Aunt
01:23:24Justina as a pawn
01:23:25against me again.
01:23:26The next time you
01:23:27try, I won't
01:23:28hesitate to prove
01:23:29exactly what I am
01:23:30capable of, and you
01:23:31won't like the
01:23:32outcome.
01:23:33I'm not giving up on
01:23:33you.
01:23:35Aunt Justina, trust me.
01:23:37Leave everything to
01:23:38me.
01:23:39I promise I'll make
01:23:40you better.
01:23:41Catherine, I trust
01:23:43you.
01:23:44Completely.
01:23:45Fine!
01:23:45Have it your way,
01:23:46Catherine.
01:23:47Let's see how you
01:23:48handle this.
01:23:49Without Dr. Huxley, I
01:23:50don't think Justina has
01:23:51much time left.
01:23:52When this fails, and
01:23:53it will, you better
01:23:54not come crawling back
01:23:55to us-to-us on your
01:23:56knees begging for
01:23:57help!
01:24:08It's Zephira.
01:24:09Arrange for the
01:24:09highest-grade operating
01:24:10theater at Central
01:24:11Hospital immediately,
01:24:12with a full leading
01:24:13neurosurgery team on
01:24:14standby.
01:24:14I'll send over the
01:24:15full equipment list and
01:24:16surgical plan shortly.
01:24:17Understood, Dr. Zephira.
01:24:18We'll handle all the
01:24:19arrangements immediately.
01:24:20Everything will be ready
01:24:21before your scheduled
01:24:22surgery time.
01:24:27An internationally
01:24:28renowned surgeon, Dr.
01:24:29Zephira?
01:24:31That's the legendary
01:24:32neurosurgeon that even
01:24:33royal families can't
01:24:34book?
01:24:34No!
01:24:35No way!
01:24:35That's impossible!
01:24:37Catherine?
01:24:37That good-for-nothing
01:24:38girl who grew up in the
01:24:39countryside?
01:24:40How could she possibly
01:24:41have connections to
01:24:41someone of Dr. Zephira's
01:24:42caliber?
01:24:42It must be a coincidence!
01:24:44No, it can't be.
01:24:45She's just a worthless
01:24:46country girl.
01:24:47How could she know
01:24:47Dr. Zephira?
01:24:50Dad, Austin, don't
01:24:51jump to conclusions.
01:24:52It has to be a
01:24:53coincidence.
01:24:54There's no way Catherine
01:24:55has anything to do with
01:24:56this.
01:24:56She probably doesn't even
01:24:57know who Dr. Zephira is.
01:25:00Justina, I won't let
01:25:01anything happen to you.
01:25:03This surgery will be a
01:25:04success.
01:25:07Aunt Justina, it's me.
01:25:08I'll be the operatic
01:25:09surgeon for your
01:25:10procedure today.
01:25:11Don't be afraid.
01:25:12Just close your eyes and
01:25:13rest.
01:25:14When you wake up, this
01:25:15ailment will be gone
01:25:16completely.
01:25:18The patient is under
01:25:18general anesthesia.
01:25:19Vitals are stable.
01:25:20Let's begin the
01:25:21operation.
01:25:30My God, that surgical
01:25:31approach angle.
01:25:32It's so bold and
01:25:33intricate, yet it
01:25:33completely avoids all
01:25:34the critical functional
01:25:35areas of the brain.
01:25:36I've never seen anything
01:25:37like it.
01:25:37Look at that section
01:25:38technique.
01:25:38It's so steady.
01:25:39It's terrifying.
01:25:40Not a single tremor,
01:25:41even when working so
01:25:42close to the nerve
01:25:42buns.
01:25:43This is beyond
01:25:43masterful.
01:25:46The patient's vital
01:25:47assigns remain stable
01:25:48throughout the procedure.
01:25:49The operation is a
01:25:50complete success.
01:25:54Please pay close
01:25:55attention to the
01:25:55patient's post-operative
01:25:57monitoring and care.
01:25:58Call me immediately if
01:25:59there are any changes in
01:26:00her condition.
01:26:01Absolutely, Dr. Zafia.
01:26:02We will strictly follow
01:26:03your post-operative care
01:26:04plan.
01:26:04It was the greatest honor
01:26:05of our careers to assist
01:26:06you in this surgery
01:26:07today.
01:26:13Doctor, how did it go?
01:26:15How was my sister?
01:26:16Was the surgery successful?
01:26:18It was an incredible,
01:26:19unprecedented success.
01:26:20The tumor was completely
01:26:21removed, with zero damage
01:26:22to the surrounding nerves
01:26:23and functional areas.
01:26:24The patient's vital
01:26:25signine stayed rock
01:26:26stolid the entire time.
01:26:27Honestly, it was nothing
01:26:28less than a medical
01:26:29miracle.
01:26:29Dr. Zafia's surgical
01:26:30skills are absolutely
01:26:31extraordinary, godlike even.
01:26:33I have to say, your
01:26:34Brown family is truly full
01:26:35of hidden talents.
01:26:36It's almost impossible
01:26:37to book Dr. Zafia for a
01:26:39surgery anywhere in the
01:26:40world, yet you managed to
01:26:41get her to come here
01:26:42personally.
01:26:42I'm genuinely curious.
01:26:43How did you manage to
01:26:44connect with her?
01:26:45How is this possible?
01:26:46How could that country
01:26:47girl have anything to do
01:26:47with Dr. Zafira?
01:26:48This can't be happening.
01:26:49We threatened her, we
01:26:50accused her, we tried to
01:26:51force her to sign away
01:26:51her shares, and she just
01:26:53saved Aunt Justina's
01:26:53life?
01:26:54Dr. Watts, thank you for
01:26:55your hard work today.
01:26:56It was our honor to work
01:26:57with you, Dr. Zafira.
01:26:58You have my word.
01:26:59We will monitor Miss
01:27:00Brown's condition 24-7 and
01:27:02strictly follow your
01:27:03post-operative care
01:27:04instructions.
01:27:05Could it be?
01:27:07Is Catherine actually
01:27:08Dr. Zafira herself?
01:27:11What kind of ridiculous
01:27:12nonsense are you spouting?
01:27:13That ungrateful fool
01:27:14knows nothing.
01:27:15She's just a worthless
01:27:16waste of space.
01:27:17There's no way she could
01:27:18be the world famous
01:27:19Dr. Zafira.
01:27:20Are you done running
01:27:21your mouth?
01:27:21If you're finished,
01:27:22step aside.
01:27:23I don't have time to
01:27:24waste on the likes of
01:27:24you.
01:27:25You, you ungrateful,
01:27:27rebellious girl.
01:27:28You think knowing that
01:27:28Dr. Zafira makes you
01:27:29something special?
01:27:30You probably spent all
01:27:31your money to beg her
01:27:32to come here.
01:27:33It's not like you have
01:27:33any real skill.
01:27:34I am Dr. Zafira.
01:27:36Aunt Justina's surgery
01:27:38was performed by my
01:27:39own hands from start
01:27:41to finish.
01:27:44No.
01:27:45Impossible!
01:27:46How could you possibly
01:27:46be Dr. Zafira?
01:27:47You're just a worthless,
01:27:48uneducated girl from the
01:27:49countryside.
01:27:50You're nothing!
01:27:50You're lying!
01:27:51worthless!
01:27:51Worthless!
01:27:51I'm the one who saved
01:27:52Aunt Justina's life.
01:27:53What have you done
01:27:54besides using her
01:27:55sickness as a weapon
01:27:55to try and steal from
01:27:56me?
01:27:57Catherine, why...
01:27:58Why didn't you tell
01:27:59us sooner?
01:28:00If you had told us
01:28:01who you were earlier,
01:28:02we wouldn't have...
01:28:02We wouldn't have
01:28:03treated you like that.
01:28:04We wouldn't have
01:28:05made so many mistakes.
01:28:07Wouldn't have what?
01:28:08Wouldn't have treated
01:28:09me like an outsider?
01:28:10Wouldn't have helped
01:28:11Jolaine bully me time
01:28:12and time again?
01:28:13Wouldn't have used my
01:28:14only family member's
01:28:15life to threaten me?
01:28:16Austin, do you even
01:28:17believe a single word
01:28:18you just said?
01:28:19Catherine doesn't need
01:28:20your fake last-minute
01:28:21regrets.
01:28:22From this day forward,
01:28:23I will be the one to
01:28:23take care of her.
01:28:24You will never get the
01:28:25chance to hurt her again.
01:28:26Mr. Warren, this is
01:28:28just a private family
01:28:29matter of the Brown
01:28:29family.
01:28:30There's no need for you
01:28:31to get involved.
01:28:31Family matter?
01:28:32When you kicked her
01:28:33out of the house and
01:28:34left her homeless,
01:28:34did you ever think of
01:28:35her as family?
01:28:36You even used her
01:28:37aunt's life as a
01:28:37threat against her.
01:28:38When she was in
01:28:39danger, where were you?
01:28:40When she was bullied
01:28:41and even kidnapped, did
01:28:42you ever stood up for
01:28:43her even once?
01:28:44Enough, Liam.
01:28:45Talking to these
01:28:46people is just a
01:28:47waste of time.
01:28:48Let's go.
