00:00Merci.
00:30And remember, don't let the press bother your sister.
00:32The call ended. I turned to my best friend and maid of honor for help.
00:35Instead, she snapped at me.
00:37Valessa was in so much pain, she passed out, and you're still thinking about your wedding?
00:42God, Aurelia, when did you become so heartless?
00:45As for my fiancé, Damien, he could not even be bothered to call.
00:47He sent one text. I sat in front of the vanity mirror, staring at the message.
00:51He had said the same thing to me eighteen times.
00:53I was done. This time, I would not beg them to come back like I always had.
00:55I gathered the skirt of my wedding gown and walked onto the stage.
01:00I'm sorry everyone. My fiancé has gone to the hospital to see my sick adopted sister.
01:04So the wedding is cancelled.
01:05Whispers swept through the room.
01:06Cancelled again?
01:07I heard the Sterlings don't dare break off the engagement.
01:09She's like that lucky girl from Just My Luck.
01:12Everyone around her gets blessed with good fortune.
01:14It was true. I had been born lucky. The day after I was born, my father's liver cancer miraculously disappeared.
01:20Days later, a nearly bankrupt Vale family landed a deal big enough to save them from ruin.
01:24My once-playing best friend Claire grew more beautiful by the year,
01:27I nailed every audition she went to, and eventually became an award-winning actress.
01:30And Damien, the man I loved, had luck follow him everywhere.
01:33His start-up took off. His company went public.
01:35He became one of the richest men in the country.
01:37But now, I was done with all of them.
01:39Everything they had gained from my luck would be destroyed when I left.
01:41After shaking off the reporters hounding me with questions, I returned to the Vale estate to pack.
01:45I had barely opened my suitcase when laughter sounded outside my room.
01:48Valessa walked in, surrounded by everyone, all of them smiling and fussing over her.
01:52Her cheeks were rosy. Damien walked beside her, gazing at her with unmistakable tenderness.
01:56The moment he saw me, his smile vanished.
02:00Why didn't you explain things properly to the press when you cancelled the wedding?
02:04Now everyone thinks this is Valea's fault. Do you have any idea what you've done?
02:09A sharp edge of the paper grazed my cheek before falling to the floor.
02:13The front page headline screamed in bold letters,
02:16Wedding cancelled again. I looked at the words and gave a cold laugh.
02:20Is any of that untrue?
02:22Did you forget Valessa was sick?
02:24She was already suffering from severe stomach pain.
02:27The way you handled this was a disgrace.
02:29Now every media outlet is saying we abandoned you for Valessa again.
02:31You're issuing a statement immediately.
02:33Say you were emotionally unstable and cancelled the wedding yourself.
02:35I'll have my agent work with the press and turn them against Aurelia.
02:37Once they go after her, they'll leave Valessa alone.
02:41Of course, every other time a wedding had been cancelled,
02:44I had taken all the blame because I never wanted anyone blaming my family or Damien.
02:48Give me three days, I'll disappear from your lives completely.
02:51Aurelia, stop throwing a tantrum. Threats don't work on me.
02:53Clean up this mess with the press or don't expect another wedding anytime soon.
02:56Valessa gently tugged at his sleeve.
02:58Damien, don't say that. This is all my fault.
03:00I ruined your wedding with Aurelia. I should have just died from the pain at the hospital.
03:03This isn't your fault. Don't think like that. Your sister can't live without me.
03:06It doesn't matter when we get married.
03:09I'm not making a statement. I'm leaving.
03:11Enough!
03:15Are you done causing trouble?
03:17We raised you like a princess and this is how you repay us?
03:23A princess who gets slapped?
03:24It was not the first time my mother had hit me.
03:27Two days earlier, Valessa had wanted to wear my wedding dress.
03:29I said no. She burst into tears and fainted on the spot.
03:33My mother decided I had deliberately upset her.
03:37She grabbed a pair of scissors and personally cut apart the gown I had waited six months for.
03:43Before that, Valessa smashed my father's favorite antique.
03:51Sister, why did you push me?
03:54They said I had done it.
03:57She fell down the stairs.
04:00There were security cameras.
04:02My sister pushed me!
04:04You! Get down here!
04:06I fought and forced them over and over again to believe me.
04:10Because before Valessa came along, they had loved me so much.
04:13The luck I was born with had lifted my impoverished family into the ranks of the elite.
04:18When I met Damien, he was just a street hustler selling counterfeit goods at a flea market.
04:23He found me lost in the city and brought me home.
04:27I fell in love with him.
04:30From that day on, everything he touched succeeded.
04:34Before he turned 30, Sterling Capital moved my family.
04:38But after Valessa arrived, everything changed.
04:41They enjoyed every advantage my luck brought them.
04:43Then cast me aside and accused me of being spoiled and overbearing.
04:47Never as kind or thoughtful as she was.
04:49If you want to get out, then get out.
04:51Tomorrow, we're holding a press conference.
04:53We're cutting you off.
04:55From then on, you are no longer a veil!
04:57Hear them!
04:57The voice is an awfully concerned voice.
05:00Dad, will Arita be alright out there by herself?
05:02She needs to learn her lesson.
05:04When she comes crawling back and admits she was wrong, maybe I'll let her come home.
05:08Wait.
05:08Footsteps sounded behind me.
05:10Damien tossed a set of keys at my feet.
05:17You can stay in this apartment for now.
05:22Use the time to think about what you've done.
05:25Honestly, I wish I'd met Valetta on the street that day instead of you.
05:29Then marry her.
05:30I promised the media I would marry you, and I keep my word.
05:33But I can't give you love.
05:34I kicked the keys away.
05:37I had just turned to leave when Valessa suddenly ran after me and-
05:39Don't go, Aurelia!
05:40I'm the one who crossed the line!
05:42I wanted things that I could do.
05:43I wanted things that never belonged to me.
05:44I don't deserve any of this!
05:45This is my fault!
05:47I took Mom and Dad from you.
05:48I'm always bothering Damien.
05:50You stay.
05:51I'll leave.
05:52Damien reached her first.
05:53His eyes turned murderous.
05:54You touched her?
05:55Do you really think I won't hit you?
05:57I take back what I said.
05:59There will never be another wedding!
06:01My father rushed outside.
06:02Get over here!
06:03Lock Aurelia in the basement!
06:11This time, I'll teach her how a sister is supposed to behave!
06:19The basement was damp and dark.
06:21It was the second time they had locked me there.
06:23The first time, I had found Valessa lying in Damien's bed in the middle of the night.
06:27Only here do I feel truly at ease.
06:29My parents believed her.
06:33So did Damien.
06:35If you're worried, just come to me anytime.
06:39Back then, my love for Damien bordered on obsession.
06:42So I slapped Valessa across the face.
06:46They locked me in the basement for seven days.
06:48I was given one bowl of plain porridge a day.
06:51They did not let me out until hunger broke me, and I agreed to apologize to her.
06:55I was wrong.
06:56I shouldn't have hit her.
06:58This time, starvation was clearly not enough for them.
07:01When the first switch came down, I heard my skin split.
07:04My father had originally planned to strike me thirty times with the belt.
07:10But after Valessa woke up, she cried and begged for mercy on my behalf.
07:14Dad, don't use the belt.
07:16Aurelia is afraid of pain.
07:18So my father switched to a cane.
07:22Fifteen lashes.
07:23The first stroke made me tremble.
07:25By the tenth, I had bitten through my lip.
07:27After the twentieth, the pain began to go numb.
07:33A faint, spicy smell hung in the air.
07:35The cane had been soaked in chilly water.
07:37Valessa had never been pleading for mercy.
07:39She had only wanted it to hurt more.
07:42Apologize to your sister!
07:44I said nothing.
07:47By the time all fifty strikes were over, I could no longer stand.
07:52My father threw the cane to the floor.
07:54Hopeless.
07:56Damien only came in after he left.
08:00Valessa prepared medicine and clean clothes for you.
08:02She has never mistreated you.
08:04He picked up a white shirt and laid it over my back.
08:06The instant the fabric touched my wounds, my body arched violently.
08:10Here we go again, Aurelia.
08:12When are you going to stop acting?
08:14Valessa was pale from the pain and she still didn't make this much of a scene.
08:17He stood and walked away, never noticing the white fabric rapidly turning red with blood.
08:22I counted the hours in my head.
08:24Just survived two more days.
08:26Everything they had gained because of me would vanish with my departure.
08:31At dawn, Valessa came for me.
08:33She ordered the servants to grab me by the hair and drag me into the bathroom.
08:39Her eyes were full of contempt and amusement.
08:42A hard spray of water struck my body, jolting me fully awake.
08:46Aurelia, do you know what happened last night?
08:50Damien proposed to me.
08:52Mom and Dad said since all the guests are still here, I might as well take your place and marry
08:56him.
08:58Tomorrow, everything you had will be mine.
09:00When she was first adopted, she had been blind.
09:03She had smiled sweetly and said she wanted to be my friend.
09:06Soon, with the help of my luck, her sight returned.
09:09And at the same time, her true nature finally showed itself.
09:15Valessa, do you remember how your eyes were healed?
09:17Of course.
09:19God blessed me. Why?
09:22It was my luck.
09:24Bullshit!
09:25The next second, she turned the water, scalding hot.
09:28It poured over my back, ripping open the thin scabs.
09:30Blood mixed with the water and ran across the floor.
09:33Mom and Dad told me to clean you up.
09:35Because tomorrow, you're coming to my wedding too.
09:38I want you to watch me take everything from you with your own eyes!
09:42Then she folded over me. The pain was so intense, I nearly blacked out.
09:46Oh, one more thing.
09:48They're announcing at the press conference that they've disowned you.
09:51By tomorrow, you'll have nothing left.
09:55The next day, I was practically dragged into the most luxurious five-star hotel in the city.
10:01Guests whispered when they saw me.
10:03I heard the Vale family is disowning Aurelia.
10:06After all the scenes she's caused, she's completely humiliated the family.
10:09Damien tries to distance himself from Aurelia.
10:11Does he really dare dump her and marry someone else?
10:14Please. Sterling Capital Group isn't what it used to be.
10:17One woman can't possibly control its share price.
10:19I was seated in the farthest, most isolated corner.
10:22On stage, my father walked Valessa down the aisle.
10:24She wore the wedding dress that had originally been custom made for me.
10:30My mother was crying with emotion.
10:33Claire stood in the maid of honor's place.
10:35And Damien wore the suit that had been tailored for our wedding.
10:37His gaze rested on Valessa with tenderness and affection.
10:40So beautiful that it only made me more eager to see what they would look like when they lost everything.
10:46My father cleared his throat.
10:49Thank you all for being here to witness this important moment for our family.
10:53From this day forward...
10:55Several people suddenly burst into the ballroom.
10:57The man in front was so pale he could barely stand.
10:59I knew him.
11:00Wait.
11:01Don't do this.
11:02Ethan, Damien's chief advisor.
11:04An investment prodigy.
11:08Years ago, Damien and I had only shared one dinner with him before he agreed to join Sterling Capital Group.
11:14I joined.
11:19Sir, we've got a problem. It's bad, really bad.
11:23Everything's collapsing.
11:25What?
11:28What's wrong with you? Why are you making a scene?
11:31Whatever it is, can't it wait until after my wedding?
11:33Sir, Sterling Capital Group's stock has collapsed.
11:39How much?
11:4299%.
11:43The ballroom fell silent.
11:48At least $80 billion in market value is gone.
11:51The company is being forced into liquidation.
11:54He yanked out his phone.
11:55The next second, all the color drained from his face.
12:00Guests began checking their trading apps.
12:03Everyone rose to their feet in shock.
12:06My father shot upright.
12:08Move bail funds into the market immediately!
12:11Support the price!
12:15Mr. Vail, your company has collapsed too.
12:17Preliminary losses are $150 billion.
12:22The stock was still rising yesterday. There was nothing wrong with the company.
12:24I know, sir. I've been in investments for 20 years and I've never seen anything like this.
12:28Every risk model was green. No warning. The money just vanished.
12:34Damien's and my father's phones began vibrating non-stop at the same time.
12:38Shareholders, banks, creditors. Everyone was calling them at once.
12:43My father suddenly clutched his abdomen and coughed a mouthful of blood.
12:47Under Valesa's wedding dress, Damien instinctively stepped back and came a sickening crack from his knee and spout.
12:54He crashed to the floor.
12:55Ethan stared at him and something shifted in his expression.
12:58Wait. Sir, this isn't the first time Sterling Capital Group has crashed without warning.
13:03Do you remember what happened the other times you tried to break up with Aurelia?
13:07He looked up sharply.
13:11Damien's face turned deathly pale.
13:14What did you say?
13:15Ethan no longer cared that hundreds of guests were still watching.
13:17Over the last 18 cancellations, something went wrong with Sterling every single time.
13:21But this time is the worst. This is a total collapse.
13:24That's impossible.
13:25But every time, every time you went back to Miss Aurelia, everything recovered.
13:30I sat in the most distant corner, meeting their terrified, suspicious gazes.
13:34I laughed. Damien tried to stand. His legs would not respond, soaking quickly through his trousers.
13:41My legs.
13:42When Damien was 19, he crossed the wrong people.
13:45They shattered both his knees with a baseball bat.
13:47Doctors told him he would never walk again.
13:50Then, he met me.
13:51Six months later, he was back on his feet.
13:54Medical journals called his case a miracle.
13:56But now, the miracle was gone.
13:57Terrified, Damien braced himself with his right hand.
14:00His arm gave out, and he crashed down again.
14:02My mother's scream cut through the room from the other side.
14:04My father had collapsed.
14:06Emergency medics rushed in.
14:10How long has this patient had liver cancer?
14:13What liver cancer? He was cured more than 20 years ago!
14:16Based on what I'm seeing, it's already terminal.
14:18I remained seated in the corner, watching chaos swallow the stage.
14:21My mother screamed for an ambulance, but her once black hair was turning white before my eyes.
14:25Her tight, youthful face seemed to age 20 years in seconds.
14:28Her skin cracked and sagged before my eyes.
14:30Valesa screamed.
14:31Her voice came out rough and ugly.
14:32She clawed at her eyes as darkness swallowed her vision.
14:35As everyone descended into panic,
14:36My father rasped for an answer.
14:38What's happening?
14:39What the hell is happening?
14:41Damien suddenly went still.
14:42At last, he thought of me.
14:43He turned and stared straight toward the seat where I had been.
14:45Where's Aurelia?
14:46Where did she go?
14:47Find her!
14:48Now!
14:50After leaving the hotel, I did not return to the Vale estate.
14:54Nor did I go to Damien's apartment.
14:56For years, I had quietly transferred my private assets into accounts completely unrelated to Vale or Sterling.
15:02I had not decided to leave on impulse.
15:04It was only after the 18th canceled wedding that I finally found the strength to really go.
15:09My lawyer had already arranged a new place for me to live.
15:11I hired a doctor to treat the wounds on my back.
15:14The damage from 50 lashes with the cane soaked in chili water was worse than expected.
15:18Even the doctor's eyes reddened.
15:19I did this to you.
15:21My family.
15:22He went silent.
15:23I smiled faintly.
15:24My former family.
15:25Three days later, the wounds had begun to scab.
15:28That same day, Damien found my lawyer.
15:29He did not beg me.
15:30At least not at first.
15:31When my lawyer handed me the phone, Damien's voice still carried its usual commanding edge.
15:35Auraria, come back.
15:38I nearly laughed.
15:39What?
15:39We can talk about the wedding again.
15:41I admit, I didn't handle yesterday very well.
15:45Once the company stabilizes, I'll end my marriage to Valena.
15:48We'll have the wedding again.
15:50I leaned back in my chair.
15:52This time, I promise I won't cancel.
15:56Our 19th wedding?
15:58Auria, stop acting out.
16:00Whatever you want, I can compensate you.
16:03Jewelry, houses, shares, as long as you come back.
16:06Even now, he still believed I had left because the wedding had failed.
16:10I laughed softly.
16:12Damien, do you really think I still want to marry you?
16:14For the first time.
16:15Arolia.
16:16He went silent for a long while.
16:17You loved me for 15 years.
16:20Love doesn't disappear in three days, does it?
16:22I gave a cold scoff.
16:24Before the market closed that day, Sterling Capital Group's remaining share price fell
16:28by half again.
16:29Just wait, this was only the appetizer.
16:31I did not answer, but my mother looked as though she already had her answer.
16:35She suddenly rushed toward me.
16:37Auraria, come home with mom.
16:39Memories she had buried long ago came flooding back all at once.
16:43The day I was born, the Vale family's luck turned around.
16:46Back then, everyone called Arolia the family's lucky star.
16:49So many years had passed that they had somehow forgotten.
16:52Forgotten that before I arrived, the Vale family had been one bad quarter away from ending
16:57it all.
16:57My mother gave a bitter laugh.
16:59What have I done all these years?
17:01What have I done?
17:01Come to the hospital and see your father, please.
17:04The doctors say his cancer has spread.
17:06The Vale family is about to collapse.
17:09You can't abandon us.
17:10Why can't I?
17:12Because I'm your mother.
17:14I gave birth to you.
17:16Your luck belonged to the Vale family from the beginning.
17:19The room went silent.
17:20Even Damien lifted his head to look at her.
17:22My mother seemed to realize what she had said.
17:24Arolia, that isn't what mom meant.
17:26Your father is dying.
17:27Our family is falling apart.
17:29How can you keep sulking at a time like this?
17:31Sulking?
17:32You locked me in a basement.
17:35Dad hit me 50 times with a cane soaked in chili water.
17:38Valesa poured scalding water over my wounds.
17:40Then all of you forced me to attend her wedding to my fiancé.
17:43And you call this sulking?!
17:44My mother's face turned white.
17:46Arolia, you scalding water on you?
17:48She clearly had not known about that.
17:49I'll punish her.
17:50Just come home with me first.
17:52At last, I lost all interest in continuing the conversation.
17:55My mother's age and face darkened instantly.
17:57Arolia, don't force your mother's hand.
17:59The next day, the Vale family held a press conference.
18:01My mother sat in front of the cameras and cried to the media.
18:04She said that after 18 failed weddings,
18:06my mental state had become severely unstable.
18:09She claimed I had run away from home and refused treatment.
18:11She begged the public not to provoke me any further.
18:13At the end, tears streamed down her face as she stared into the camera.
18:17Arolia, mom will always love you.
18:19Come home.
18:20More than 10 million people were watching the live stream.
18:2310 minutes later, a reporter stood.
18:25Mrs. Vale, when you say treatment,
18:27do you mean locking your biological daughter in a basement for seven days
18:31and feeding her only one bowl of plain porridge a day?
18:36Damien clutched the hem of my pants.
18:38Arolia, I was wrong.
18:41His voice was so hoarse I could barely hear him.
18:44Save me.
18:45I looked down at him.
18:46This was the man who once acted as though even looking at someone was a favor.
18:50Now he lay on the floor, his useless legs dragging two bloody trails behind him.
18:55It was Valeria.
18:57She kept lying to me, saying you bullied her
19:00and looked down on me because of where I came from.
19:03She told me you laughed in private about how I used to sell counterfeits.
19:08That you said I would never be good enough for the eldest daughter of the Vale family.
19:13I raised an eyebrow.
19:14Valessa had said those words before, just not to me.
19:17After her sight returned, the first time she saw Damien,
19:20there had been something feverish in her eyes, right in front of him.
19:23Arolia, didn't you say you never wanted to marry a man who used to sell fake goods?
19:28I slapped her without hesitation.
19:30That was also the day Damien first asked whether I had always looked down on his background.
19:35I explained myself countless times.
19:37He said he believed me, but the seed of doubt had already been planted.
19:41Arolia, you were always the only one I loved.
19:45I was just confused for a while.
19:48Eighteen times.
19:49He froze.
19:51You were confused for a while eighteen times, Damien.
19:54That's one hell of a long while.
19:56I can make it up to you.
19:58I'll be your dog.
19:59You can do anything you want to me.
20:01Just don't leave me.
20:02He pressed his forehead to the top of my shoe.
20:04I was about to call security.
20:06Damien?
20:06When my mother's voice came from outside the door.
20:08What you just said, was all of it true?
20:12I looked up.
20:13My mother stood in the doorway.
20:15Her skin was wrinkled like crumpled paper.
20:17She looked old and withered.
20:19The Vale family only became lucky after Auraria was born.
20:23And Sterling only became successful after you met Auraria.
20:26So, slowly, she turned toward me.
20:28Fear and pleading appeared in her eyes.
20:31All that good fortune came from you.
20:49Security footage began to play.
20:51My father walked into the basement holding the cane.
20:53His voice was crystal clear.
20:5530 was already enough.
20:57Valena begged me to go easy on you.
20:59If I'm not using the belt, then you get 50.
21:01My mother's face lost every trace of color.
21:04Livestream comments flew past the screen in a frenzy.
21:06This is what they call psychiatric treatment, so...
21:09The press conference was forced to end.
21:11But it was far too late.
21:12The Vale family's already collapsing stock plunged again.
21:15Police announced that they were opening an investigation.
21:17My mother called me like a woman possessed.
21:19I did not answer once, because I had not released any of that evidence.
21:22Half an hour later, Ethan sent me a message.
21:25It was Damien.
21:26I stared at the screen, genuinely surprised for the first time.
21:29To prove himself to me, Damien had personally pushed the Vale family to the edge of the cliff.
21:33But that same evening, someone else found my home, Valessa.
21:36After the wedding, the vision she had once regained vanished again, with no servants to guide her.
21:40She had felt her way along walls and stumbled to my door alone.
21:43Aurelia, I know I was wrong.
21:45I don't want Damien anymore.
21:47You can have Mom and Dad back too.
21:49I don't want anything.
21:50I only want you to forgive me, please.
21:56It was probably don't want to be invisible.
21:57I didn't know where she was.
21:57I don't want to go away with you.
21:58You were a big deal.
22:01I don't want you to do that.
22:03I don't want to do this...
22:06I don't want you to do that.
22:08It's just the wrong situation, your shame.
22:08It's so dangerous.
22:10You need that.
22:15I'm not gonna have to be
22:20I could become you
22:21It was probably the first time she had ever admitted
22:23That she truly wanted to replace me
22:25I did not move
22:27But stealing trash can't turn you into me
22:29It only proves one thing
22:30You're just as cheap as they are
22:32I want to go back to when I first entered the Vale family
22:35I want to be your sister again
22:38I'll behave
22:39I'll protect you, I'll do anything you ask
22:42I watched her for several seconds
22:43Then I stepped toward her
22:44The moment Valessa heard my footsteps coming closer
22:47She froze
22:48A second later, her eyes reddened and she reached for me
22:50The next second, my hand went straight into her coat pocket
22:53What are you doing?
22:55I did not answer
22:56I slowly pulled out a voice recorder blinking with a red light
22:59I glanced down at the running timer
23:0147 minutes
23:03Valenza
23:05After you've fooled me this many times
23:07Did you really think I'd be stupid enough to believe you again?
23:13The helpless facade vanished from Valessa's face
23:16I picked up my phone
23:17More than a dozen recordings had already been saved on it
23:20Realia, did you already know bad things would happen to them if they left you?
23:23Did Sterling and Vale go bankrupt because you stopped loving them?
23:27If you wanted to, could you make everything go back to normal?
23:30Every question was designed to lure me into admitting that I had the power to control other people's fate
23:35Give me the recorder!
23:38Why you? Why does everyone get to have everything just because they're close to you?
23:42So what were you planning to do with these recordings?
23:44She said nothing
23:45Cut out your questions, keep only my answers, then tell the world I deliberately destroyed Vale and Sterling
23:49So what? They all hate me now! Damien wants to kill me! Mom blames everything on me! Claire says I'm
23:55the reason her face was ruined! They were the ones who betrayed you! Why does everyone blame me in the
24:01end?
24:02Because none of them, just like you, has ever believed they did anything wrong
24:07Don't pretend you're so noble, Aurelia
24:09You think they came back because they love you?
24:12They only want your luck
24:14Everything you have should have been mine!
24:16I know
24:18I've always known
24:20But I didn't
24:22Damien sat in his wheelchair, staring hard at Valessa
24:25So you were framing Aurelia all along?
24:30In the end, I agreed to see Claire, not because of her email, because she sat outside my door for
24:35two days
24:35When she removed her mask, the scars on her face were worse than I had imagined
24:39Her face had once been worth millions
24:41Now she couldn't even look at herself in the mirror
24:44Claire placed the old photograph on the table
24:46Do you remember this?
24:47I do
24:49When we were seven, we spent our last two dollars at a school charity sale on a slice of cake
24:54We split it in half
24:55Claire smiled faintly, and she began to cry
24:58Valessa told me you always thought I stuck around you just for the veil's money
25:02She said you told people I was just your sidekick, and I believed her!
25:07I looked at her
25:08Why?
25:09What?
25:11Why did you believe her?
25:12Her mouth opened
25:13I answered for her
25:14Because part of you already believed it
25:16After you became famous, you grew more and more terrified
25:20That people would say you only succeeded because of me
25:22So Valena said one sentence, and you threw away more than a decade of history between us
25:27Claire's face went pale
25:29Aurelia!
25:29I was wrong, I was really wrong!
25:32She handed me her phone, it contained every message Valessa had ever sent her
25:36Aurelia mentioned how ordinary looking you were as a child again today
25:39She once called you an ungrateful parasite
25:41You said you owe all your success to her, and should worship the ground she walks on
25:46And don't be angry
25:47I don't think she really meant it
25:49Some of the messages were nothing more than vague insinuations
25:52Claire had filled in the rest of the story herself
25:55You already betrayed me
25:58What good does saying you were wrong do now?
26:00I pulled my hand from Claire's grip
26:02I don't need a friend like you
26:04Claire suddenly stood
26:06I'm going to find her!
26:08I need to hear the truth from her!
26:10In a hospital corridor, Claire finally confronted Valessa
26:12She slapped her across the face
26:14You bitch!
26:15You ruined me!
26:17Valessa fell to the floor
26:18I ruined you?
26:20Claire, I said a few words
26:22You were the one who chose to believe me
26:25Claire froze
26:26Valessa slowly stood
26:28And the rest of you?
26:30She turned toward Damien and my mother
26:31Stop pretending you're victims
26:33I never held a gun to your heads
26:35And forced you to betray Eloria
26:37You did it because you thought she would never leave, didn't you?
26:40If it weren't for you, our family would never have ended up like this!
26:44Valessa scrored
26:45You hit her with your own hand!
26:48Your husband was the one holding the cane!
26:50All I said was that Aurelia pushed me!
26:52The security footage was right there!
26:55You were the ones who refused to look!
26:57Damien smashed a cup against me
26:59Shut up!
27:01Valessa turned toward him
27:02You're even more ridiculous!
27:0418 weddings
27:05Every single time
27:06All I had to do was say I didn't feel well
27:09And you really left
27:10Damien, did you love me?
27:12Or did you just enjoy knowing Aurelia would always be there waiting for you?
27:15Color slowly drained from Damien's face
27:18Claire suddenly laughed through her tears
27:20And me?
27:21Valessa answered without hesitation
27:22You?
27:23I told you Aurelia thought you only became famous because of her
27:26And the very next day you leaked humiliating photos of her to the press
27:31Claire, you're so stupid
27:33You never even asked her once
27:35The corridor went deathly quiet
27:37At last
27:37They stopped surrounding Valessa
27:39They started looking at one another instead
27:41Damien looked at my mother
27:42If you hadn't thrown her out
27:44My mother jerked her head up
27:45What right do you have to blame me?
27:47You cancelled the wedding 18 times!
27:50Claire gave a cold laugh
27:51At least I didn't marry Valana
27:53Damien whipped around to face her
27:55How many times did you pay people to smear Aurelia?
27:59No!
28:00My mother screamed
28:01This is all Valéia's fault!
28:03Valessa stood in the middle of them
28:04Then she burst out laughing
28:07Yes!
28:09Keep going!
28:10Put all the blame on me!
28:12That way you can pretend you're still Aurelia's loving mother
28:14Devoted fiancé and loyal best friend
28:16She laughed until tears ran down her face
28:18Too bad Aurelia won't believe you
28:21Everyone fell silent at once
28:22Because at some point
28:23I had appeared at the far end of the corridor
28:26The moment they saw me
28:27All four of them started toward me
28:29Aurelia!
28:30Listen to mom first!
28:32Damien was the fastest
28:33If his legs had still worked
28:35He probably would have thrown himself at me
28:37But his wheelchair had barely rolled six feet
28:39Before my mother stepped in front of him
28:40Aurelia!
28:41Listen to mom first!
28:43Claire grabbed my other arm
28:44Listen to me first!
28:45Valessa could not see
28:47She could only feel her way toward the sound of my voice
28:49Aurelia!
28:50For one absurd moment
28:51I almost laughed
28:52Once I had begged any one of these four people to believe me
28:55Not one of them had been willing to stop
28:57And listen to a single sentence
28:59Now they were fighting to tell me
29:00That they were the one who loved me most
29:02My mother dropped to her knees
29:04Aurelia, I'm your mother
29:06Mom will change
29:07We can start over
29:09Damien's voice was coarse
29:10I can marry you
29:11Today
29:12I'll never cancel our wedding for anything again
29:15Claire cried as she shoved the childhood photograph into my hand
29:18Do you remember?
29:19We said we would be best friends forever
29:22Valessa clutched the wall
29:23Aurelia, don't believe them!
29:25I don't want anything!
29:27I only want you to forgive me!
29:29They spoke faster and faster
29:31Soon, they were shoving one another aside
29:33Then, they started hitting one another
29:35She's my daughter!
29:37She loved me for 15 years!
29:39I've known her since we were seven!
29:42I'm her sister!
29:44I quietly watched them tear one another apart
29:46Then I asked one question
29:47What if my luck had never disappeared?
29:49Everyone stopped
29:50What if Vale had never gone bankrupt?
29:52What if Sterling's stock were still rising?
29:54What if dad's cancer had never come back?
29:56What if Damien could still walk?
29:58Claire was still a celebrated actress
30:00And Valessa had never gone blind?
30:02Would any of you be apologizing to me today?
30:04No one answered
30:05My mother opened her mouth
30:06The answer was already obvious
30:07I handed the photograph from when we were seven back to Claire
30:10No
30:11You wouldn't, would you?
30:13So I will never forgive any of you
30:15This is what you get for betraying me
30:18Now get the hell out of my way!
30:20I turned and walked away
30:22Behind me, Damien's voice rang out
30:24Aurelia!
30:26My father was the first to die
30:27The cancer spread through his entire body
30:29The doctors said that given his condition
30:31He should never have recovered more than 20 years ago in the first place
30:35He lasted seven days in the hospital
30:37On the last day
30:38He kept asking my mother in a rasping voice
30:40Is Aurelia here?
30:41Just as I had once lain helpless in that basement
30:43Hoping someone would come and save me
30:45But I did not come
30:46After my father died
30:47The bank auctioned off the Vale family's last remaining asset
30:50My mother moved into a poor neighborhood
30:52She seemed to lose her mind
30:54Whenever she saw someone
30:55She would rush toward them and cry
30:57Mom was wrong!
30:58Mom should never have treated you that way!
31:01I'm sorry, my daughter!
31:03I deserve to die!
31:05That winter, my mother took her own life
31:07Damien tried to arrange her funeral
31:08He could not even afford the cremation fee
31:10Two families once worth tens of billions
31:13In the end, they could not afford a single urn
31:15Claire lasted longer
31:17She sold all her jewelry
31:18And began pushing a food cart on the street
31:20Someone filmed her drunken husband
31:22Knocking her to the ground
31:23She suddenly cried out my name
31:25Aurelia never let anyone bully me
31:27I turned off the video
31:29Once, Valessa's true nature was exposed
31:31They sent her back to the mountains
31:33To the biological parents
31:34Who had abandoned her years before
31:36Her biological father owed gambling debts
31:38He married her off to a man 20 years older than she was
31:41When she went into labor
31:42There was not even a midwife beside her
31:44She bled to death on the dirt floor of a shack
31:47The child died with her
31:48Damien was the last
31:49He lost his company
31:51His home
31:51Everything he had ever owned
31:53Three months after my mother died
31:54Someone found him beneath a bridge
31:56Both his legs were severely infected
31:58Beside him were only a few pieces of hard bread
32:01That other homeless people had tossed his way
32:03Before he died
32:04He kept repeating two things
32:06I'm sorry, Aurelia
32:07When my lawyer told me all of this
32:09I was fishing from a boat in the southern hemisphere
32:12Mr. Sterling left one thing behind
32:14What?
32:16A ring
32:17The ring you wore for all 18 weddings
32:18My hand paused for a second
32:20Then I smiled
32:21Throw it away
32:22The fishing line suddenly pulled tight
32:24I gripped the rod
32:25And wheeled in a huge fish
32:27Sunlight spilled across the ocean
32:29The world was still beautiful
32:30As for the people who abandoned me
32:32They had simply returned to the lives
32:34They were always meant to have
32:35Before they met me
32:36This was supposed to be my 18th wedding
32:38To Damien Sterling
32:39And once again
32:40Everyone had left me for my adopted sister
32:42Including my fiancé
32:45My father called
32:47Valenia's stomach hurts
32:48We're taking her to the hospital
32:49Cancel the wedding for now
32:50My mother added from beside him
32:52Aurelia, we've cancelled enough weddings by now
32:53You should know how to handle this
32:54And remember
32:55Don't let the press bother your sister
32:57The call ended
32:58I turned to my best friend
32:59And maid of honor for help
33:00Instead, she snapped at me
33:01Valessa was in so much pain
33:03She passed out
33:04And you're still thinking about your wedding?
33:07God, Aurelia
33:07When did you become so heartless?
33:10As for my fiancé, Damien
33:11He could not even be bothered to call
33:12He sent one text
33:13I sat in front of the vanity mirror
33:15Staring at the message
33:16He had said the same thing to me 18 times
33:17I was done
33:18And this time
33:19I would not beg them
33:19To come back like I always had
33:20I gathered the skirt of my wedding gown
33:22And walked onto the stage
33:24I'm sorry, everyone
33:25My fiancé has gone to the hospital
33:27To see my sick adopted sister
33:28So the wedding is cancelled
33:30Whispers swept through the room
33:31Cancelled again?
33:32I heard the Sterlings
33:33Don't dare break off the engagement
33:34She's like that lucky girl
33:36From Just My Luck
33:36Everyone around her
33:38Gets blessed with good fortune
33:39It was true
33:40I had been born lucky
33:41The day after I was born
33:42My father's liver cancer
33:43Miraculously disappeared
33:44Days later
33:45A nearly bankrupt Vale family
33:47Landed a deal big enough
33:48To save them from ruin
33:49My once plain best friend Claire
33:51Grew more beautiful by the year
33:52Nailed every audition she went to
33:53And eventually
33:54Became an award-winning actress
33:55And Damien
33:56The man I loved
33:57Had luck follow him everywhere
33:58His startup took off
33:59His company went public
34:00He became one of the richest men
34:01In the country
34:02But now
34:02I was done with all of them
34:04Everything they had gained from my luck
34:05Would be destroyed when I left
34:06After shaking off
34:07The reporters hounding me with questions
34:09I returned to the Vale estate to pack
34:10I had barely opened my suitcase
34:11When laughter sounded outside my room
34:13Valessa walked in
34:14Surrounded by everyone
34:15All of them smiling
34:16And fussing over her
34:17Her cheeks were rosy
34:18Damien walked beside her
34:19Gazing at her with unmistakable tenderness
34:21The moment he saw me
34:22His smile vanished
34:23Down we'll say
34:23The moment he saw me
34:24The moment he saw me
34:24He had been asking one for interior
34:24Those times he saw him
34:24The knocks on his échelag
