00:00On the day I married Sebastian, a car hit and killed my mother.
00:13The driver was Chloe, the girl Sebastian raised himself.
00:17In the police surveillance footage, Chloe dragged my mother down the street for hundreds of yards in her Lamborghini before
00:25stopping.
00:29She went too far this time. No matter what you decide, I am on your side.
00:34After eight years together, Sebastian was finally taking my side.
00:38I handed all the evidence to the prosecutor and insisted on charging Chloe with murder.
00:43The night before the trial, Sebastian threw a blank check at me and forced me to change my statement.
00:50Chloe is still young and reckless. It is normal to make mistakes.
00:54I already punished her.
00:56To make me miss the trial, Sebastian locked a pregnant me inside a remote guest room in the estate.
01:02He cut off the communication and sent everyone away.
01:07Three days and three nights.
01:10At that moment, I finally saw clearly.
01:16Sebastian never chose me.
01:18Three days later, Sebastian pushed the door open.
01:24Joanna, have you thought it through?
01:27That was his first sentence.
01:29He did not ask how I was doing.
01:31He only cared about his girl.
01:33I looked up and grunted my teeth.
01:36I will never change my statement.
01:39I will make Chloe pay.
01:41Sebastian crossed his legs.
01:43The room was dark and I could not see his face.
01:46I only heard his cold voice.
01:47Chloe was drunk and hit your mother by accident.
01:49I will pay the compensation.
01:51Write whatever amount you want on the check.
01:53Is that not enough?
01:55People like your mother are a dime a dozen.
01:57This money is more than enough to buy her life.
02:02Joanna, you win.
02:06Win?
02:08My chest tightened and I could barely breathe.
02:12Sebastian, that is my mother.
02:15Money cannot buy her back.
02:18Chloe hit her and refused to stop.
02:21She dragged her and ran her over until she died.
02:24If that is not murder, what is?
02:26She must go to prison.
02:28Sebastian frowned.
02:29He lost his patience.
02:32Joanna, I am giving you one last chance.
02:38His assistant placed a video in front of me.
02:41It showed my father.
02:42He had been in a vengery state for many years.
02:47A person stood in the empty hospital room.
02:50The person held a pair of scissors
02:52and aimed them at my father's ventilator tube.
02:56Change your statement or save your father's life.
02:59Choose.
03:00The blood rushed to my head.
03:03And I screamed.
03:04Sebastian held me down.
03:06Joanna, think carefully.
03:08Is it worth giving up your comfortable life for a dead person?
03:13His words were cold,
03:15stabbing into my heart again.
03:17Years ago, Sebastian just took over Fox Group.
03:20His ruthless style offended many people.
03:23He was kidnapped at a business gala.
03:25My father was the detective on that kidnapping case.
03:28At the most critical moment,
03:29my father took a bullet for him and saved his life.
03:35Later, Sebastian brought my mother and me into his home.
03:38He paid for all of my father's medical expenses.
03:41During those five years,
03:43Sebastian treated me very well.
03:45He never missed any of my events.
03:47We slowly fell in love.
03:49On my college graduation day,
03:51Sebastian proposed to me in public.
03:53He promised everyone that he would give me
03:55the happiest marriage in the world.
03:57Later, he broke his promise.
04:00From the day Chloe returned from studying abroad,
04:03he could no longer do it.
04:06I stared into Sebastian's dark eyes.
04:11Sebastian,
04:12did you forget that my father became a vegetable to save you?
04:16Now you want to unplug my father's ventilator
04:19for a law-grading troublemaker like Chloe?
04:22I trembled with rage.
04:23My lips shook.
04:25The truth was right in front of me,
04:26but I still could not believe it.
04:28Sebastian went this far for Chloe.
04:30Sebastian closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
04:32Joanna,
04:33I already punished her.
04:34She knows she was wrong.
04:36Going to court will only turn the entire Fox family
04:38into a laughing stock.
04:40I knew what his punishment meant.
04:43Grounding her for a few days.
04:46Freezing her credit cards.
04:49These minor punishments.
04:51It had been eight years.
04:53He never grew tired of saying it,
04:55and I had grown sick of hearing it.
05:00After Chloe returned,
05:02whenever Sebastian and I spent a few minutes together,
05:05she would call and take him away.
05:07She either cried about committing suicide every day,
05:11or she caused trouble
05:12and waited for Sebastian to clean up her mess.
05:15Sebastian told me to ignore her,
05:18but he was always the first to rush over.
05:20I was left behind countless times.
05:24Every time he abandoned me,
05:25he would coax me with a few wetances.
05:27She has no parents,
05:29and I raised her myself.
05:30I have to be responsible for her.
05:32She is spoiled,
05:33but she is not a bad person.
05:35She is still young.
05:36Give her some time.
05:37Until this time.
05:38To stop Sebastian and me from getting married,
05:41she drove her car and killed my mother.
05:43I thought Sebastian had common sense
05:45when it came to major things.
05:47Now I see he does not.
05:49His heart has always belonged to Chloe.
05:53I stared at the video.
05:55The tears I held back for weeks finally fell.
05:57Sebastian, I agree.
05:58A flash of pleasant surprise crossed his eyes,
06:01and the smile on his lips was blinding.
06:03Joanna, I knew you would understand.
06:05In seven days,
06:07we will have another grand wedding, okay?
06:09I did not nod or shake my head.
06:12I endured the pain and signed the new statement.
06:15Every stroke felt like a knife cutting my heart.
06:18That night, I saw Chloe post on Instagram
06:20celebrating that she did not have to go to prison.
06:22Behind the party photos was a pile of luxury gifts.
06:25The most expensive one was a vintage luxury watch.
06:28It was worth $3 million.
06:30Sebastian bought it at a charity auction last month.
06:32Love you, Sebastian.
06:33You saved me again.
06:35Among the likes,
06:36I saw Sebastian's profile picture.
06:38In our eight years together,
06:39Sebastian never liked my posts,
06:41but he liked every single one of Chloe's.
06:43She just cares about these small things.
06:45If I don't like it,
06:46she won't stop throwing tantrums.
06:47I never made a scene with him over Chloe,
06:49just because I loved him.
06:51Now my mother was killed by Chloe yet.
06:53He was celebrating her new life.
06:55I stood by the window and made up my mind.
07:00I called my lawyer.
07:01Prepare the divorce papers and the civil lawsuit.
07:04I looked down at my flat stellic.
07:06I was pregnant.
07:07This child was supposed to be my gift to Sebastian.
07:10Now, he did not deserve it.
07:12No matter how hard the road ahead would be,
07:15I would keep this child alone.
07:18The next day,
07:19I held a memorial service for my mother at the church.
07:21Her urn sat on the long table at the very front,
07:24surrounded by her favorite white roses.
07:26Sebastian arrived, holding at Chloe's hand.
07:28When I saw them,
07:29Chloe was leaning down to place her flowers
07:31among the white roses in front of the urn.
07:33Who allowed you to come?
07:34My face turned pale,
07:37and I slapped the flowers out of her hand.
07:39The bow kit hit the back of her hand
07:41and scattered all over the floor.
07:44Chloe screamed,
07:45pulled her hand back,
07:46and hid in Sebastian's arms.
07:49Sebastian, it hurts.
07:51Sebastian stared at her red hand,
07:53and his eyes instantly turned cold.
07:57She just came to bring flowers.
07:59Joanna, did you really have to hit her?
08:03Chloe's eyes turned red,
08:05and tears welled up.
08:06She grabbed my arm with a wronged expression.
08:08Joanna, I am sorry.
08:09I wanted to give you two a wedding gift that day.
08:12I really did not know it would turn out like this.
08:14Sebastian already punished me severely.
08:16I know I was wrong, really.
08:18Chloe was best at this play,
08:20playing the victim and acting innocent,
08:22and Sebastian always fell for it.
08:25In the past,
08:26I tolerated her for Sebastian's sake.
08:28Now, I would not.
08:29Sebastian, I am saying this for the last time.
08:32Take her away.
08:35Everyone present knew that Chloe drove the car
08:37and killed my mother.
08:39In the corners of the hall,
08:40several people glanced at her and whispered.
08:43The wronged look on Chloe's face crumbled completely.
08:48She was just an old woman.
08:51If I didn't hit her,
08:52how many more years could she live?
08:54If Sebastian didn't force me to come,
08:56do you think I would want to be here?
08:59She scowled and walked straight to the front row.
09:02Before anyone could react,
09:03she grabbed the urn holding my mother's ashes from the table.
09:06You won't let me pay my respects?
09:09Then no one gets to give her a proper goodbye.
09:12I watched her raise the urn high.
09:14My heart almost jumped out of my throat.
09:17Stop!
09:19A sharp crash echoed.
09:21The urn slammed heavily against the marble floor and shattered into pieces.
09:25The entire hall gasped.
09:27I rushed over and knelt on the cold marble.
09:29The ashes were scattered everywhere.
09:31I could not even let my mother leave in peace.
09:34My nose sting and my eyes burned.
09:37But I bit my lip hard to keep the tears from falling.
09:39On the other side,
09:41Chloe went completely crazy,
09:43turning the place upside down.
09:44She knocked over flower stands,
09:46pushed down candle stacks,
09:48and threw my mother's portrait to the ground.
09:52A solemn memorial service
09:54was completely ruined by her.
09:58Heartbroken,
09:59I walked out of the church.
10:01Sebastian finally caught up with me.
10:03Chloe just has a short fuse
10:05and hates people talking about her.
10:06This time,
10:07she did go too far.
10:09Don't worry.
10:10I will rearrange a memorial service for your mother.
10:15Hearing the same old lines made me want to throw up.
10:19Sabatting grabbed my arm tightly.
10:21I looked down at his hand.
10:24No need.
10:26I pushed his hand away.
10:28I had no energy left to waste on them.
10:30Sebastian looked at his empty hand.
10:32His chest tightened.
10:33Before I could walk far,
10:34I received a call from the hospital's private nurse.
10:37Miss,
10:38someone unplugged your father's ventilator.
10:40The words hit me like a thunderbolt.
10:42I rushed to the hospital.
10:44My father's body was already covered with a white sheet.
10:47Who did it?
10:48Who exactly was it?
10:50Did I not tell you to watch my father's room?
10:53How could anyone get in?
10:55After Sebastian threatened me with my father's life last time,
10:58I changed all the nurses and bodyguards.
11:00I did not expect something to go wrong anyway.
11:03It was Chloe.
11:04She sneaked into the room at night and unplugged his ventilator herself.
11:07By the time we found out,
11:08it was too late.
11:09She brought people from the Fox family with her.
11:11We could not stop them at all.
11:13The nurse's face was pale with fear,
11:15terrified of being blamed.
11:17Miss Hale,
11:18stop fighting her.
11:19The image of Chloe destroying the memorial service flashed in my mind.
11:23The anger in my chest could no longer be suppressed.
11:26I took a cab home.
11:28As soon as I got out of the car,
11:30I heard music and dancing inside the villa.
11:34If Joanne's father hadn't saved Sebastian,
11:36how could he ever marry her?
11:38I will never let Sebastian marry any woman but me.
11:41Her mother died during the first wedding,
11:44and her father died during the second.
11:46Let's see if she still dares to get married.
11:50Chloe's arrogant voice pierced my ears,
11:53and my head exploded with rage.
11:55I kicked the villa door open.
11:56I walked right up to Chloe.
12:01A sharp slap echoed.
12:02I slapped her across the face.
12:06Chloe covered her face.
12:07Her beautiful face distorted with rage.
12:10You dare to slap me?
12:12No one has ever dared lay a hand on me in my entire life.
12:15Chloe called her men.
12:17Within seconds,
12:18several men grabbed my arms and pinned me to the floor.
12:21So what if your parents are dead?
12:23My parents died too.
12:26Do you think you are special?
12:29Just because your parents died, Joanne?
12:32Chloe and her followers kicked me over and over.
12:35I turned on my side,
12:37curled into a tight ball,
12:38and shielded my stomach with my arms.
12:41My baby.
12:42I could not let her find out I was pregnant.
12:45Chloe, you will pay for what you said today.
12:48Chloe laughed and shook her head.
12:50She ordered her men to drag me into a storage room.
12:53Pay?
12:55Joanna, open your eyes wide
12:56and see who is going to pay the bigger price.
13:00They sealed my mouth shut with duct tape.
13:04Just as I prepared to struggle,
13:06the door opened.
13:07Sebastian walked in and headed straight for Chloe.
13:11He frowned when he saw face.
13:14What happened to your face?
13:16Chloe glanced back at the storage room door.
13:19The smile on her face grew brighter.
13:21You just love getting into trouble.
13:24Send everyone away quickly.
13:26Joanna will be upset again when she gets back.
13:29Sebastian pinched her nose affectionately.
13:32Chloe wrapped her arms around Sebastian's waist,
13:35acting cute.
13:37Sebastian, let me take you somewhere.
13:49The moment they pushed the next door open,
13:57Sebastian pinned Chloe against the wall.
14:03Sebastian's voice was very low.
14:05It held a tenderness I had never heard before.
14:08Chloe, you should not tempt me.
14:10You know we can never have a future together.
14:12My eyes widened.
14:13My nails dug deep into my palms.
14:16I dated Sebastian for eight years.
14:18We only slept together once.
14:19He was drunk that time,
14:21and I was the one who initiated it.
14:22I thought he was just not interested in sex.
14:24Now I see he was just interested in someone else.
14:27I know.
14:28That is why I am willing to be your little pet forever.
14:30Chloe stood on her tiptoes and kissed Sebastian.
14:33The two of them melted into each other.
14:35I shrunk into the corner,
14:37buying my lip to keep from making a sound.
14:39The physical pain from the beating
14:40was nothing compared to the agony before my eyes.
14:43The eight years I thought were filled with love.
14:45It turned out I was just a shield
14:47to hide their dirty secret.
14:48After they finished,
14:49Chloe lay in his arms
14:51and confessed to what she did.
14:53Sebastian,
14:54I unplugged Joanna's father's ventilator.
14:57You never stop causing trouble, do you?
14:59Forget it.
15:00I will talk to Joanna about this.
15:03His tone held no blame at all.
15:06There was only helpless indulgent.
15:10Chloe smiled and promised never to do it again.
15:13Then she wrapped herself around Sebastian
15:15for several more rounds.
15:16My tears dried and flowed again,
15:18not just because of Sebastian Chloe,
15:20but because a sharp pulling pain
15:22started in my lower abdomen.
15:23They kicked my stomach repeatedly just now.
15:25The baby.
15:26I was afraid I could not keep the baby.
15:28The lights turned back on.
15:30At Chloe wore or only a thin nightgown.
15:32Her collar was wide open
15:34and her collarbones were covered in love bites.
15:37Did you hear that clearly?
15:39In his eyes,
15:40your parents' lives are just a little trouble I caused.
15:43Joanna,
15:44how can you ever fight me?
15:46I did not talk back.
15:49I remained completely still.
15:51Chloe lost interest when she got no reaction from me.
15:55She insulted me a few more times and left.
15:58I took the recording from my phone
16:00and sent it to my lawyer.
16:01This time,
16:02I will send Chloe to prison.
16:04Add one more thing.
16:06She kicked my baby away today.
16:08The lawyer replied instantly,
16:10Go to the hospital first.
16:12Go to Southbridge.
16:13Do not go to any hospital owned by the Fox family.
16:16Keep the evidence safe.
16:18Leave the rest to me.
16:21I held onto the wall
16:22and dragged myself out of the villa step by step.
16:25When I arrived at Southbridge,
16:27the emergency room doctor shook his head after the exam.
16:31I am sorry the baby is gone.
16:33We need to do a DC as soon as possible.
16:38While I waited for the surgery,
16:41Sebastian called.
16:42Your father's matter was the hospital's negligence.
16:46I am already holding them accountable.
16:50Let's hold the funeral of parents together.
16:53I will pick you up after I finish my work.
16:56I calmly agreed and hung up the phone.
16:59Sebastian panicked when he heard the absolute quiet on my end.
17:03He asked insistently,
17:04Where are you?
17:09I could not help but let out a cold laugh.
17:12Sebastian, I am in the hospital's OBGI department.
17:15Your baby is gone.
17:17Chloe and her men kicked the baby out of me.
17:20I am waiting for a DC.
17:21Sebastian checked my phone location.
17:23He searched everywhere.
17:25Finally, he found my phone on the hospital lawn,
17:27where I had dropped it on purpose.
17:29Damn it.
17:30Sebastian finally realized I tricked him.
17:32I was not at his family's hospital at all.
17:35Miss Hale always had her prenatal checkups here.
17:37The hospital director broke out into a cold sweat.
17:39He stuttered through his explanation.
17:41How could you not even know she was pregnant?
17:43Miss Hale said she wanted to give you a surprise at the wedding.
17:45She specifically ordered us not to say anything.
17:48We did not expect it to turn out like this either.
17:50Sebastian felt the world spinning around him.
17:52At the half-finished wedding that day,
17:55I hugged him and said I wanted to give him a gift.
17:57But before I could hand it over,
18:00a phone call interrupted the wedding.
18:02A car accident stopped everything.
18:05He was too busy cleaning up Chloe's mess.
18:08He never gave me a single word of concern.
18:12Sebastian was filled with regret.
18:16He walked out of the hospital looking miserable
18:19and received a call from his assistant.
18:26Mr. Fox, I found Miss Hale.
18:28She is at Southbridge Hospital.
18:31This call gave him hope.
18:33He rushed over at top speed.
18:34But the moment he walked in,
18:35he saw me lying quietly on the hospital bed,
18:37covered in bruises and deathly pale.
18:40Sebastian, who always claimed he protected me well,
18:42felt his heartbreak at this moment.
18:43Joanna, how did you...
18:45How did you end up like this?
18:48I kept hearing someone talking by my ear.
18:50It was very noisy.
18:51I struggled to wake up
18:53and saw Sebastian kneeling on the floor,
18:54crying bitterly.
18:55I instinctively touched my stomach.
18:57A sharp wave of pain hit me.
18:58Joanna, it's fine, it's fine.
18:59Only then did I confirm the surgery was over.
19:01We will have another baby.
19:03Seeing that I was awake,
19:05Sebastian hugged me tightly
19:06before even wiping his tears.
19:07His words were full of gentle comfort.
19:09Just like before,
19:10he acted as if he held me in the palm of his hand again.
19:12But this time I only felt disgusting.
19:14The baby is gone, Sebastian.
19:16You should thank Chloe.
19:17No baby deserves a father like you.
19:19The words were cold and vicious.
19:21Sebastian's heart trembled.
19:22He let go of me,
19:23his face full of guilt.
19:25I know you blame me for your parents' matter,
19:27but I had my own difficulties with that.
19:29I promise you.
19:30This time,
19:30I will absolutely not interfere.
19:32You can deal with Chloe however you want.
19:34Sebastian gave me another promise.
19:36But last time,
19:37I believed his words,
19:38and that led to all of this.
19:40This time,
19:41how could I ever believe him again?
19:43Sebastian,
19:44go ahead and use the Fox legal team
19:45against me in court.
19:47I will win anyway.
19:52Sebastian wanted to say something else.
19:54A sharp shriek from behind interrupted him.
19:56Chloe stormed into my hospital room furiously.
19:58Joanna,
19:59how dare you,
20:00Tridy,
20:00to drive a wedge between Sebastian and me?
20:02Do you think pretending to be sick
20:04will make Sebastian side with you?
20:06I refused to change my statement,
20:08and Sebastian actually wanted to use
20:10the Fox legal team
20:11to drag out the divorce.
20:12Every single thing pushed Chloe's buttons.
20:15She hated me enough to tear me apart.
20:17She spoke without thinking.
20:18Did you forget what you saw
20:19in the storage room that day?
20:21Hearing the last sentence,
20:23Sebastian grabbed Chloe by the throat.
20:25Chloe,
20:25what storage room are you talking about?
20:27Chloe finally realized
20:29she spoke too fast and slipped up.
20:31She stuttered for a long time,
20:33not daring to speak the truth.
20:34But Sebastian was no fool.
20:36I finally realized
20:38I already knew about
20:39his relationship with Chloe.
20:40His face turned pale
20:41and he turned around,
20:42trying to explain to me.
20:45Sebastian,
20:46leave.
20:47I already filed for divorce.
20:49You cannot stop it.
20:51Seeing how stubborn I was,
20:52Sebastian kicked the nightstand
20:54next to the bed over.
20:55His eyes were bloodshot
20:56and the veins on his neck bulged.
20:58He looked like a thoroughly enraged beast.
21:01Divorce again.
21:02Joanna,
21:02we have eight years of history.
21:04You want to divorce
21:05over such a small thing?
21:06I looked up at the furious Sebastian,
21:09completely emotionless.
21:11A small thing?
21:14Tears streamed down my face.
21:16All the hatred in my heart
21:18boiled over at this moment.
21:22Sebastian,
21:23my dad,
21:24my mom,
21:24and your baby.
21:25Three lives are just a small thing to you?
21:28You knew Chloe killed my mom
21:30to stop our wedding.
21:31You kept quiet.
21:32You slept with the girl you raised
21:34and you were too ashamed to admit it
21:35so you enabled her.
21:37You knew she unplugged my dad's ventilator.
21:39He saved your life.
21:40You still kept your mouth shut.
21:42Accusation after accusation.
21:43I watched Sebastian's face
21:45grow uglier by the second.
21:46Why on earth should I stay
21:47with a man like you?
21:48I knew he did not have
21:49a single word to say in response.
21:51Joanna,
21:52you are truly cruel.
21:54If you told me about the baby earlier,
21:56would we have lost him?
21:57Those two sentences
21:58stabbed straight into my heart.
22:00We lived together for 13 years
22:02and dated for eight.
22:03He knew exactly where to plunge the knife
22:05to hurt me the most.
22:06Mr. Fox has quite the nerve.
22:08You act like a monster yourself.
22:10Everyone looked towards the voice.
22:11A man in a suit walked in with steady steps.
22:14Sebastian was shaken by his powerful area.
22:16Yet you are so quick
22:17to shift the blame to others.
22:20Who are you?
22:24I am Miss Hale's attorney.
22:26Here is my card.
22:27The man took a business card from his bag
22:29and handed it to Sebastian.
22:31Then he took out a beanie
22:32and placed it on my head.
22:34They said you need rest after the surgery.
22:36I will take you away in a minute.
22:38This scene stung Sebastian's eyes.
22:39He looked down at the gold-embrossed card
22:41in his hand.
22:43Ethan Shaw.
22:44The name sounded familiar,
22:46but he could not remember where he heard it.
22:51Attorney Shaw,
22:52what right do you have to take my wife?
22:54Sebastian blocked Ethan's hand,
22:55standing in front of my bed.
22:56Ethan let out a low chuckle.
22:59Mr. Fox has a terrible memory.
23:01You received the divorce papers an hour ago,
23:04and you already forgot?
23:07Sebastian,
23:08go ahead and try to stop me.
23:10Tomorrow,
23:10the recording of you and Chloe
23:12will spread across the city.
23:13I guarantee you will make the headlines
23:15for three days.
23:16When that happens,
23:17do you think the head of the family
23:19will still tolerate
23:19a scandal-racin' man like you?
23:21The threat was whispered in his ear.
23:23Only he and Ethan heard it.
23:25Sebastian clenched his fists by his sides.
23:28The man in front of him
23:29looked too much like a winner.
23:32Sebastian panicked.
23:34He did not dare to block him anymore.
23:40Ethan knelt down
23:42and put my shoes on for me.
23:45Then,
23:46he bent over
23:46and lifted me into his arms.
23:49Chloe stood in the way
23:50with her arms wide open.
23:51She screamed at Sebastian behind her.
23:53Sebastian!
23:54What right does she have to judge you?
23:56She is hooking up
23:57with another man herself.
23:59What kind of lawyer
24:00does this much for a client?
24:02But Sebastian was still dazed
24:04by Ethan's words
24:05and could not snap out of it.
24:07Sebastian!
24:08Ethan was annoyed by her screeching.
24:10He frowned and spoke coldly.
24:12Miss Fox,
24:13I hope you still have this good voice
24:15to defend yourself in court.
24:17By the way,
24:18go check your records.
24:19Miss Hale's parents
24:20are not the only case
24:21I filed against you.
24:22Three years ago,
24:24you bullied a classmate abroad.
24:26Two years ago,
24:27you drugged a female teacher
24:29and left her mentally in hair.
24:31Three months ago,
24:32you tricked your friend
24:33into a bar
24:33and got her raped.
24:34Case by case,
24:35you have a long list
24:36of lawsuits coming.
24:38Chloe never expected
24:39her past crimes
24:40from years ago
24:41would be dug up
24:42and that she would be
24:44the defendant.
24:46Her legs shook with fear
24:47and she ran toward Sebastian.
24:49Sebastian!
24:50Save me!
24:51But Sebastian
24:52pushed her away violently.
24:56You committed
24:57these crimes yourself.
24:58How much longer
24:59do I have to clean up
25:00your messes?
25:03Chloe,
25:03I really spoiled you
25:05to the point of lawlessness
25:06over the years.
25:08He slapped Chloe
25:10across the face.
25:12Behind us,
25:13Chloe's hysterical crying
25:14echoed through the room.
25:16Ethan covered my ears
25:17and walked straight out
25:18of the hospital room.
25:21Joanna,
25:22don't look back.
25:25I nodded,
25:27curled up in his arms
25:28and never looked back.
25:35The next time I saw
25:36Chloe and Sebastian
25:37was the day
25:38of my parents' trial.
25:39Sebastian appeared
25:40as Chloe's character witness.
25:42He presented
25:43my signed statement
25:44and the accident
25:45video from that day.
25:46The beginning of the video
25:47had been edited
25:48to make it look like
25:49my mother ran a red light
25:50and walked into Chloe's car.
25:53Sebastian's private attorney
25:54pointed at the big screen,
25:56twisting the truth completely.
25:58I believe everyone
25:59can see the video clearly.
26:00Chloe had absolutely
26:02no idea
26:03she hit the victim.
26:04Therefore,
26:05it cannot be murder.
26:06Miss Hale failed
26:07to extort
26:08a massive financial settlement,
26:10which is why
26:10she changed her story again
26:11to accuse my client.
26:13Mr. Fox
26:14can testify to this.
26:18I watched Sebastian
26:20walk up to the witness stand.
26:22No emotion
26:23showed in his dark eyes.
26:25Miss Hale did ask me
26:26for a blank check.
26:28My assistant was present
26:29at the time
26:29and can testify.
26:32After she received the check,
26:35she changed her statement
26:36during the initial deposition
26:37and refused to accuse Chloe.
26:39She was once my wife.
26:42I kept quiet
26:43for the sake
26:43of our marriage.
26:44But later,
26:46she used her comus father
26:47to demand more money
26:48from me.
26:49I refused.
26:51So she filed
26:52additional charges.
26:54Sebastian's testimony
26:55was organized
26:56and clear.
26:56A low murmur
26:58rippled through the courtroom.
26:59With the Fox family
27:00backing them,
27:01no one dared
27:01to utter a word of doubt.
27:03I listened to these
27:05absurd,
27:06laughable lies
27:07and did not say
27:08a single word
27:08to argue.
27:14Ethan was in no rush
27:15to counter them either.
27:18He requested
27:19a brief recess.
27:23Ethan and I
27:24sat in the waiting room,
27:25talking.
27:28Before we could say much,
27:30Sebastian pushed the door open
27:31and walked in.
27:35Joanna,
27:35I am not doing this
27:36for Chloe this time.
27:37If you are willing
27:38to come back to me
27:39and drop the divorce,
27:40I can withdraw
27:40this testimony.
27:41I will completely
27:42stay out of Chloe's business.
27:44Sebastian looked at
27:45Ethan and me
27:45with absolute certainty.
27:47He looked like
27:47he was waiting
27:48for me to bow my head.
27:49Joanna,
27:50this is your only chance.
27:52Sebastian's gaze
27:52swept over me.
27:54Do you really think
27:55a second-rate lawyer
27:56like the one next to you
27:57can win against
27:57the Fox family?
27:59Ethan put away
27:59his digital recorder.
28:01My apologies.
28:02Occupational habit.
28:03Mr. Fox,
28:04please repeat those words
28:05when court resumes.
28:07Suit yourself.
28:08Sebastian waved his hand
28:09completely unfazed.
28:10It seems Mr. Fox
28:11has already handled
28:12those troublesome old men
28:13in the Fox family board.
28:14Ethan raised an eyebrow
28:15and smiled.
28:15The corners of Sebastian's
28:16lifted into a confident smile.
28:18Joanna,
28:18tell me you are willing
28:20to come back to me.
28:21Sebastian looked at me.
28:22Sebastian,
28:22if your brain is broke,
28:24remember to see doctor.
28:25I will never come back
28:26to you in this lifetime.
28:27The smile
28:28devanished instantly.
28:29I took Ethan's hand,
28:31walked out of the waiting room
28:32and never looked back.
28:33I believe you.
28:34Ethan cast a worried glance
28:35at me and told me to relax.
28:39Ethan and my father
28:40were close friends
28:41despite their 20-year age gap.
28:43After my father
28:44became a vegetable,
28:45the Shaw family
28:46sent Ethan abroad
28:46and there was no news
28:48of him for years.
28:49Later,
28:50he became a lawyer.
28:52Unfortunately,
28:52by the time he rushed back,
28:54it was too late.
28:56The half-finished wedding,
28:58the car accident,
28:59and the three days
29:00I spent locked
29:01in the guest room
29:02all happened
29:03before his plane landed.
29:06By the time he found me,
29:07my mother was already buried,
29:09my father's ventilator
29:09was unplugged,
29:10and the baby was gone.
29:11The only thing left to salvage
29:12was bringing Chloe
29:13and Sebastian to court.
29:14Pretending to agree
29:15to change my statement
29:15just to get the recordings
29:16was a plan we set up
29:17together later.
29:18Suddenly,
29:19Sebastian's furious voice
29:20rang out from behind us.
29:22Did you not promise me
29:23you would stay out of this?
29:25The head of the Fox family
29:26roared on the other end
29:27of the line.
29:29Are you tired of living?
29:32How dare you
29:33cross the Shaw family?
29:36Sebastian shifted
29:37his gaze to Ethan.
29:39Ethan turned his head
29:40with a smile
29:41and waved his hand.
29:46I forgot to mention,
29:48my real name
29:49is Adrian Shaw.
29:51The moment he heard
29:52that name,
29:53Sebastian's hairs
29:53stood on end.
29:54He dug into Ethan's
29:55background many times.
29:56The answer was always
29:57that no one
29:58had ever heard of him.
29:58At most,
29:59he just shared
30:00the same last name
30:00with the Shaw family.
30:01Among the publicly
30:02known members
30:03of the Shaw family,
30:04Ethan's face
30:04never appeared.
30:06But now,
30:07he personally admitted
30:07his name was
30:08Adrian Shaw.
30:10Adrian Shaw,
30:11the man who held
30:12the real power
30:13in the Shaw family
30:13and was the hardest
30:15to deal with.
30:18impossible.
30:19Adrian Shaw does not
30:20look like you at all.
30:21Ethan laughed out loud.
30:23His tone made it clear
30:24he took Sebastian
30:24for a fool.
30:25If I wanted to hide
30:26my identity,
30:27do you think I would
30:27let you find it so easily?
30:29Sebastian,
30:30since you took
30:31Joanna away,
30:31you should not have
30:32hurt her like this.
30:33When the court resumed,
30:34Sebastian overthrew
30:35his previous testimony.
30:37He detailed everything
30:37exactly as it happened.
30:39All the evidence
30:40pointed to Chloe,
30:41who repeatedly attempted
30:42murder out of jealousy.
30:43Chloe jumped with rage
30:44in the defendant's hope.
30:45Finally,
30:46she pointed at Sebastian
30:47and cursed him out.
30:48She spat out every nasty word
30:50she could think of.
30:51But Sebastian did not
30:52offer a single response.
30:54Later,
30:55Chloe's other cases
30:55went to trial
30:56one by one.
30:57In the end,
30:58she was sentenced
30:59to 20 years.
31:00Sebastian never showed up
31:01to clean up her mess again.
31:03On the day Chloe
31:04was sentenced,
31:05I took Ethan
31:05to my parents' graves.
31:07In the light rain,
31:08Ethan dressed in all black.
31:09He bowed his head
31:10before the graves
31:11and stood there
31:11for a long time.
31:12If I came back earlier,
31:14none of this
31:14would have happened.
31:16I am sorry.
31:17I was a step too late.
31:18From now on,
31:19I will take good care
31:20of Joanna.
31:20The Shaw family
31:21sent Ethan abroad
31:22back then.
31:22It was not until this year
31:23that he heard about
31:24Sebastian and Chloe
31:25from someone else.
31:26He was rushing back
31:26to attend the wedding
31:27while collecting evidence.
31:28He was only one day late
31:29and everything changed.
31:31But fortunately,
31:32he was still alive.
31:35Ethan wanted to take me
31:37back to the Shaw family.
31:38I refused.
31:40After going through Sebastian,
31:43I could no longer
31:44trust any man.
31:46So, on the day
31:47after Chloe went to prison,
31:48I boarded a flight alone
31:49and left the city.
31:51I did not say goodbye
31:52to anyone,
31:53nor did I leave
31:54any contact informations.
31:56Ethan did not come
31:57looking for me either.
31:59I settled down
32:00in a small coastal town.
32:02Life moved slowly
32:03and quietly there.
32:04until one evening,
32:06I heard two neighbors
32:07gossiping downstairs.
32:09Did you hear?
32:10That guy named Sebastian Fox
32:11was stabbed 27 times.
32:13Every single blow
32:14was fatal.
32:15The killer was a woman.
32:17A woman?
32:19A crime of passion?
32:21I heard she escaped
32:22from prison
32:23just to kill him.
32:24I stood frozen
32:25for a long time,
32:27suddenly finding it
32:27hard to breathe.
32:29Sebastian's face
32:30flashed through my mind
32:31repeatedly.
32:33What a tragic end.
32:35The next morning,
32:36a car scraped past me
32:38on the roadside,
32:39leaving a small cut
32:40on my arm.
32:43Suddenly,
32:44a deep voice
32:45called out
32:46from behind me.
32:47I turned around.
32:49In the morning light,
32:51Ethan stood there.
32:53He looked at the scratch
32:54on my arm,
32:55his eyes full of worry,
32:57and walked quickly
32:58toward me.
32:59It turned out
33:00Ethan had been
33:01watching over me
33:02all these years.
33:06I lowered my head
33:08and smiled.
33:09This was actually
33:10quite nice.
33:12This was actually
33:13this was a special
33:13one for just as
33:13a little bit of a
33:13in the back Ridley syndrome.
33:14After all,
33:14this was obviously
33:14føло
