08:48No wonder her family's poor.
08:50Audrey,
08:51I never took you for such a petty, vicious woman.
08:54Marrying you is the biggest disgrace of my life.
08:57I looked at Gavin's furious face
08:59and recalled something from long ago.
09:00Back when we were in college,
09:02before Gavin started foster group,
09:03Irene was a single mother
09:04struggling alone to raise Gavin and Paige.
09:08Audrey, I can't keep taking your money.
09:14Fool, what's mine is yours.
09:16You're my future husband.
09:18I have to support you.
09:27Thank you, Audrey.
09:29I swear I'll make a good life for you.
09:31I'll earn tons of money to spoil you.
09:35He really worked hard.
09:37Late nights in the office,
09:38endless client dinners.
09:40I was always there.
09:41I paid our rent with my salary,
09:43trying to ease his burden.
09:46Later, my mom gave him all her savings.
09:49That's when the company turned around.
09:53One night, drunk and holding me,
09:56he whispered in my ear,
09:57Audrey, will you marry me?
09:59I promise to treat you right forever.
10:04I said yes.
10:08Our wedding was simple.
10:09No reception.
10:10No dress.
10:11Just a justice of the peace.
10:12Family gathered in a small hall,
10:14listening to vows.
10:15Gavin wore a rented suit,
10:17palms sweaty with nerves.
10:19When he slipped that tiny ring on my finger,
10:21his eyes sparkled,
10:23tears threatening.
10:25I still remember how he looked into my eyes
10:27in front of both our families.
10:29I swear, no matter riches or poverty,
10:30health or sickness,
10:31I will trust you and love you without condition
10:33and never let anyone hurt you.
10:36The vow is crystal clear in my mind,
10:38but the man before me is unrecognizable.
10:41When did he change?
10:43Was it the company growing bigger
10:44and him getting home later?
10:46Or the secretary switching from some young guy
10:48to this stunning Blair?
10:49I can't remember.
10:50I just know the man who used to gaze at me
10:52with tenderness is now impatient.
10:54When I show concern,
10:55he always looks down on me like I'm a nuisance.
10:59Always with the same dumb questions.
11:01Aren't you annoying?
11:06Can you give me some privacy?
11:07If it weren't for me,
11:08would you even be living this rich wife life?
11:14He forgot he demanded I quit working.
11:17Now he hates that I do nothing all day,
11:18not like Blair.
11:20He forgot my mom and I helped him.
11:22He said he'd repay us forever.
11:25Now he mocks my mother's death again and again.
11:28I looked at the man who defended another woman
11:30and spat poison at me.
11:31No matter how hard I tried,
11:32he wasn't the man who once promised
11:34to protect me for life.
11:35Suddenly, I lost the strength to fight back.
11:37Then call the police.
11:40What?
11:41You think I did this?
11:43If the villa had a death,
11:44why not call the cops?
11:45If it really was my plan,
11:47start arresting me now.
11:54Mrs. Foster, I know you want to pin this on me,
11:57but you can't sillage Irene's party
11:58for personal grudges.
12:00If this scandal leaks,
12:01Foster Group's stock will plunge.
12:03Exactly.
12:04Just some unknown old lady died.
12:06What's the big deal?
12:07You ruined my mom's party
12:10and make us look like fools?
12:18Audrey, I'll say it again.
12:20Today is my mom's day home.
12:22No one or nothing will ruin it.
12:24I'll deal with this after the party.
12:27For now,
12:29keep your mouth shut
12:30and don't embarrass me.
12:31He glanced at the time
12:33and pulled out his phone
12:34to call the driver waiting at the airport.
12:41My mom should have landed by now, right?
12:43Have they picked her up?
12:48Mr. Foster,
12:49no sign of her yet.
12:51Maybe the flight's delayed.
12:53Check on it.
12:56Don't worry, everyone.
12:57My mom will be here soon.
12:59No rush.
13:00Let Irene take her time.
13:01No need to hurry her.
13:02Yes.
13:04She's been recovering abroad these years.
13:06Finally healed.
13:07No need to stress her on the way.
13:11Gavin,
13:12I prepared a special gift for Irene.
13:14Can't wait to give it to her in person.
13:18You're really thoughtful.
13:21When she arrives,
13:22I'll make sure to introduce you properly.
13:24I hope Irene won't dislike me.
13:27No way.
13:28Blair, you're so capable and attentive
13:31way better than Audrey.
13:32When mom sees you,
13:33she'll definitely like you.
13:36Too bad she won't be coming.
13:39Audrey,
13:40what nonsense are you spouting now?
13:42Could you just shut up?
13:45Mrs. Foster,
13:46how can you say that?
13:47This is her party.
13:48How could she possibly not come?
13:51Because you killed her.
13:58The crowd gasped,
14:00eyes wide in disbelief.
14:01Are you crazy?
14:03I told you to keep quiet
14:05and you curse my mom?
14:07You bitch.
14:08How dare you speak about my mom like that?
14:13Mrs. Foster,
14:15I know you hate me,
14:16but you can't just make up lies
14:18and curse Irene.
14:20Do you want Mr. Foster
14:21to get angry and divorce you?
14:24Is she nuts?
14:25How dare she say such things?
14:28She's clearly jealous of Blair.
14:30No basic decency left.
14:32Spits poison.
14:33Most toxic woman alive.
14:35Curses Irene and blames Blair today.
14:37What worse will she do tomorrow?
14:40Gavin,
14:41a woman like this in the Foster
14:42spells disaster.
14:44Even my mom grasped my hand cautiously,
14:47warning,
14:47Audrey, you can't say things like that.
14:50I squeezed her hand,
14:51signaling calm.
14:54I'm not lying.
14:56Your mom was beaten to death
14:57in this villa by Blair.
15:01And you just had her corpse
15:02thrown in the trash.
15:05Gavin's face flushed bright red.
15:08Audrey,
15:09are you done?
15:10One more curse at my mom
15:11and you're out of this house.
15:13Mrs. Foster keeps saying things like that
15:16because she can't stand me.
15:18Fine,
15:19I'll quit.
15:20As long as she stops cursing Irene,
15:22I'll do anything.
15:24Blair,
15:25you're so kind.
15:27You earned your place as my secretary
15:29by your skills.
15:30I won't let anything happen to you.
15:32Don't mind her.
15:34Blair,
15:35forget this lunatirk.
15:36If my mom gets hurt by her words,
15:39she'd owe her ten lives.
15:41Watching them defend Blair so fiercely
15:43only made me laugh.
15:45Hope you're still standing by her
15:46when the truth comes out.
15:48The truth?
15:49The truth is you're jealous of Blair.
15:51You sent someone to stir trouble at the villa.
15:52When a person died,
15:53you tried to pin it on her.
15:54You even made up lies about my mom's accident
15:56to distract everyone.
15:58Audrey marrying you was my biggest mistake.
16:00He angrily pulled out his phone to call again.
16:02Find out exactly when my mom's flight lands.
16:04Why hasn't she been picked up yet?
16:06I couldn't hear the other end.
16:07Only that Gavin froze
16:08and stared at me in horror after a moment.
16:13The driver isn't answering.
16:15She must be with my mom driving
16:16and can't pick up the phone.
16:18Audrey,
16:19wait till my mom gets here.
16:21I want to hear what you have to say then.
16:23Gavin,
16:24don't worry.
16:25Irene's fine.
16:28Yeah,
16:29don't listen to her scare tactics.
16:31She's just trying to make trouble.
16:32I know.
16:33I never believed mom would have an accident
16:35and I don't think Blair is the kind to hurt her.
16:40Audrey,
16:40you've disappointed me.
16:41After this party,
16:42we're getting a divorce.
16:43I can't stand a wife
16:44who disrespects my mother.
16:46Gavin,
16:46I support you.
16:47You should dump her.
16:48Audrey's not worthy.
16:49Blair's the perfect wife.
16:51Mom would support you marrying Blair.
16:52Blair smiled proudly,
16:54raising an eyebrow at me.
16:55The guests looked at me
16:57with schadenfreude.
16:58Only my mom stared at Gavin,
16:59furious.
17:00Gavin,
17:01how can you treat Audrey like this?
17:05You've been with her so long.
17:07Don't you know her true nature?
17:11What promise did you make to me back then?
17:13That you'd love her forever?
17:14Did you forget
17:16who stood by you
17:18when you were broke?
17:19Who gave you
17:20all their savings to help?
17:22And now you have money
17:23you want to abandon her?
17:26Don't you have any conscience left?
17:29A mix of warmth and pain
17:30rose inside me.
17:34Helen,
17:34this is between me and Audrey.
17:36Stay out of it.
17:37I remember everything
17:39you and Audrey did for me.
17:40I've never wronged you.
17:41But love can't be forced.
17:46Audrey's paranoid and cruel now.
17:48She even curses my mom.
17:50She's not the same person.
17:52I don't need a wife like that.
17:57Helen was too shocked to speak,
17:59clutching her chest, pale.
18:01I steadied her,
18:02rubbing her back gently.
18:03Then I looked up at Gavin,
18:04voice cold and calm.
18:06Gavin,
18:07I'm ready to divorce you.
18:10No need to wait
18:10for the party to end.
18:13Now.
18:17I stared at Gavin,
18:18at the man I had loved
18:19with every ounce of my youth.
18:21Memories washed over me.
18:23He was poor once,
18:24but there was light in his eyes.
18:26He clutched the money I gave him,
18:27talking only about our future.
18:29Though he owned nothing,
18:30he gave me the best he could.
18:32Back then,
18:33Gavin was the brightest light in my life.
18:35He loved me,
18:36and I loved him.
18:37So I gave everything to support him
18:39through his worst days.
18:40All my money,
18:42my trust.
18:42But now,
18:43his love was gone.
18:45What reason did I have left to stay
18:47and waste the rest of my life?
18:49Gavin blinked,
18:50surprised at how quickly I agreed.
18:52That was your own choice.
18:54Don't back out now.
18:57She slammed a divorce agreement
18:59onto the table.
19:00You want out now?
19:01Sign it then.
19:02She stared at me with certainty,
19:04convinced I was only pretending.
19:06I calmly grabbed the pen
19:07and signed my name without hesitation.
19:09Gavin frowned,
19:10swallowing his anger,
19:11staring at me hard.
19:13She actually signed.
19:18Gavin,
19:19congrats on your freedom.
19:21Paige entwined her arm with Blair's.
19:23Close.
19:24Blair,
19:25you and my brother
19:26are finally meant to be.
19:27We're family now.
19:32Paige,
19:32don't say that.
19:34I haven't even met Irene.
19:36What if she doesn't agree?
19:37Relax.
19:39With your looks and skills,
19:40she'll love you.
19:42I overheard the guests whispering.
19:44Yeah,
19:45Blair's way better than a housewife like Audrey.
19:47Irene wouldn't say no.
19:48A guy like Gavin deserves someone like her.
19:51This party just got twice as happy.
19:53Waiting for Irene to arrive,
19:55then we can share the good news.
19:56Gavin's phone rang.
19:58Seeing it was the driver,
19:59he perked up and answered quickly.
20:01Did you pick up my mom?
20:02How soon will she be home?
20:05He glanced at me challengingly,
20:07switching to speaker,
20:08waiting to rub it in.
20:09The line was silent for several seconds
20:11before the voice spoke.
20:12Mr. Foster,
20:13we couldn't find her till now.
20:14I traced it,
20:15she changed her flight
20:16and landed at 8 a.m.
20:19What?
20:23My mom landed at 8 a.m.?
20:26Why didn't she tell me?
20:28She wanted to surprise you,
20:30so she went straight to the villa
20:31after landing.
20:34She got there around 8 a.m.
20:36Didn't you see her?
20:37She arrived at the villa
20:39around 8 a.m.?
20:40Yes.
20:41Surveillance shows her
20:42in light casual clothes
20:43carrying a white suitcase.
20:45Last seen at the villa gate.
20:47Gavin stared as if struck by lightning
20:49at the white suitcase in the corner.
20:50He hung up and staggered forward.
20:52The suitcase had bloodstains.
20:55The boarding pass showed Irene Foster.
20:59Blair, what is this luggage about?
21:01I don't know.
21:05That suitcase belongs to the dead old lady.
21:08I've never seen Irene!
21:10I stared at Blair calmly,
21:11words slicing slow and clear.
21:13You killed her yourself.
21:17How could you not have seen her?
21:19Gavin lunged at me,
21:20gripping my shoulders.
21:23Audrey, what do you mean?
21:24I smiled.
21:26Gavin, it means...
21:28Blair mistook your mom for mine
21:30and tortured her to death.
