00:00I was born with a curse
00:02Whoever I doom dies exactly as I say
00:05When I was five, the trafficker who kidnapped me beat me half to death because I wouldn't stop crying
00:11You'll be crushed into meat paste by a truck
00:14The words barely left my lips when a runaway something barreled through the gate and flattened so thoroughly
00:20Later, at the orphanage, the director embezzled our food and locked me in the punishment closet for days
00:27You will choke to death on your own greed
00:30That very noon, he died at the dinner table, a chunk of expensive steak lodged in his throat
00:36After that, I became the monster everyone feared
00:40So I learned to shut my mouth and play mute
00:43Until the day the Sterling family found me and brought me home
00:47You're doing very well the past studies in your six months
00:49You're going to start learning how to do business
00:51In the future, you'll become an outstanding giz
00:53Your younger sister you get would learn from you
00:55By the way, our family is engaged in a marriage with the Blackstone family
00:59And your fiancé's name is Julian
01:03But I'd only been there one day when I pushed open the front door
01:07And saw Lydia, the adopted sister, sobbing in my fiancé's arms
01:11Julian, does Everly hate me now?
01:14She whimpered
01:15She's been spreading rumors at the office
01:18Claiming I slept with Mr. Harrington to secure the Westside Development deal
01:22And that I caught syphilis from him
01:24My mother stormed over and slapped me hard across the face
01:28Your sister is innocent!
01:29How dare you spread such vile lies about her!
01:32I knew it
01:33You grew up poor and bitter and now you're rotting from jealousy
01:37Get to your room and don't come out until I say so
01:40I covered my face, saw the smug look in Lydia's eyes, and sneered
01:44You think I'm spreading rumors?
01:47Fine, then you'd better be ready with the consequences when I open my mouth
01:52Mom, Dad, look, Evelyn's laughing
01:56My mother's chest heaved with fury, and she grabbed the teacup from the table and hurled the scalding liquid straight
02:02into my face
02:03You cursed brat! I should never have brought you back!
02:07We gave you everything
02:08Food, clothes, a home, and this is how you repay us?
02:14Slandering your own sister at the company?
02:16How can you be so vicious?
02:18I bit down hard on my tongue until I tasted iron
02:21Evelyn, I told you from the start
02:23You don't belong in the Sterling family, and you sure as hell don't deserve to be my fiancé
02:27If Lydia hadn't begged me to give you a chance, I would have called off this engragement ages ago
02:32Now get on your knees and apologize to her, or I'm ending this farce right now
02:36I lowered my head, staring at the puddle of tea soaking into the marble floor, and said nothing
02:41My curse has always been absolute
02:43Once I speak, fate obeys without fail
02:46In the six months since they brought me home, the Sterlings gave me something I'd never had before
02:51Warmth
02:52When I had a fever, my mother stayed up all night changing cold compresses on my forehead
02:56My father, who never cooked, clumsily made me pork chops and gave me the first piece
03:01Even my brother, who swore he'd never accept me, started sneaking pastries into my bag
03:06My mother would stroke my face with tears in her eyes, and whisper that she was sorry for the years
03:12I'd suffered alone
03:13My father even drove me to the office himself, saying I needed to start building connections
03:18Because one day, the entire Sterling empire would be mine
03:21To protect this fragile sliver of warmth, I'd finally found I sealed my lips shut
03:27Seeing my silence, Lydia's sobs grew louder
03:32Does Evelyn think she can just play dumb and get away with this?
03:35She's been spreading those disgusting lies, it's about me all over the company
03:38Everyone's looking at me like I'm dirty now
03:41How am I supposed to show my face in this industry again?
03:44Julian's face twisted in rage, and he stormed over and grabbed the fine chain around my neck
03:50Yanking hard, pain seared across my skin
03:53Six months ago, my mother had recognized me because of this necklace
03:56She said she'd put it on me the day I was born
03:59A mark of my identity as the sole legitimate heir
04:02I lunged forward, trying to grab him
04:05Give it back!
04:06Julian sidestepped his spirit, letting me crash to the floor
04:09Don't touch me! If you come near me again, I'll call the cops and tell them you assaulted me!
04:13Then, right in front of me
04:15He placed the necklace around Lydia's neck
04:19A treasure this priceless should only be worn by someone pure and kind like Lydia
04:25A vicious, foul-mouthed nobody like you would only teat it
04:29Before I could get back on my feet, my brother came charging down the stairs and grabbed me by the
04:35collar
04:35I knew we shouldn't have brought you back, you filthy charity case
04:42It was Lydia who begged to be kind to you
04:44She even gave up her own bedroom to you
04:48And for the past six months, she's handed you every good thing she's ever had
04:53And this is how you repay her?
04:55You ungrateful snake!
04:59Butler, lock this trash in her room right now!
05:01No one gives her a single drop of water without my permission, understood?
05:05Two security guards rushed forward, dragged me upstairs
05:09I was locked in that room for seven days straight
05:13Every night, the maid would slide a single bowl under the door
05:16Inside was nothing but cold leftovers and scraps
05:19Outside, I could hear laughter echoing through the halls
05:22The fourth, a perfect little family
05:24Lydia made sure to parade Julian past my door every single day
05:28Julian, this watch is too expensive
05:31Why don't you give it to Evelyn instead?
05:34I know you love me, but Evelyn is their real daughter
05:36And she's the one you're technically engaged to
05:38Maybe we should just end this
05:40As long as I can see you happy from afar
05:42I'd die a thousand deaths and it would still be worth it
05:45Stop talking nonsense
05:47That piece of trash they dragged back from the gullet isn't even worth carrying your shoes
05:50Just looking at her pathetic face makes me sick
05:52Why the hell would I give her something this expensive?
05:56Don't worry, Lydia
05:57Even if I marry her, I'll never lay a fender on her
06:00You're the only one I'll ever love
06:02I leaned against the door
06:04Wearing something that expensive to bed?
06:06Better be careful
06:07You might wake up with a stiff neck
06:09The next morning, Lydia's shrieks tore through the hallway
06:13It hurts!
06:14My neck!
06:15I can't move it!
06:21Then came my sister's panicked voice
06:23Followed by the frantic footsteps of the household staff
06:26Doctor, hurry!
06:27I sat in the dark
06:28Eyes closed
06:29A slow smile spreading across my face
06:32On the eighth day
06:33The lock finally clicked open
06:35Lydia stood in the doorway
06:36Arms crossed
06:38Oh my god, Evelyn
06:40You look like death
06:41Did you really starve yourself just to guilt trip us?
06:44Come on, get up
06:46Mom and dad want you at the company
06:48All you have to do is stand in front of everyone
06:50And admit you lied
06:51Apologize to me
06:52And we can all move on
06:53I pushed myself to my feet
06:55And walked toward the door
06:57The moment I reached the top of the stairs
07:00Lydia leaned in close
07:01And whispered in my ear
07:03You poor little bastard
07:05Did you really think you could steal my parents and my man?
07:09I froze mid-step
07:11And turned to look at her
07:12Lydia let out a blood-pudding scream
07:15Evelyn, no!
07:16I swear I won't take the inheritance from you!
07:19Then she threw herself backward
07:20And tumbled down the stairs
07:22Julian bolted toward the staircase
07:24Lydia!
07:25And my parents and sister came running from every direction
07:28Lydia lay crumpled at the bottom
07:30Julian, don't blame Evelyn
07:33I just lost my balance
07:36You've lived in this house for over 20 years
07:39And never once fell down these stairs
07:41There's no way this was an accident
07:43My mother flew up the steps
07:44And landed two brutal slaps across my face
07:47I was so weak from starvation
07:49That the force sent me crashing to the floor
07:51How did we ever give birth to a monster like you?
07:54I pressed my hand to my burning cheek
07:56And stared back at them
07:58I let out a cold, humorless laugh
08:00If I really wanted to hurt her
08:01I wouldn't need to lift a finger
08:02My brother's entire body shook the stairs
08:05And he kicked over a decorative plate stand
08:07Dad!
08:07Mom!
08:08Do you hear this?
08:10Do you hear what she's saying?
08:12Lydia's lying there in pain
08:14And Evelyn has the audacity to double down on her threats
08:17You're still refusing to admit what you've done?
08:20Stop pretending you have some kind of supernatural power
08:22You delusional freak!
08:24My father turned his face away
08:25As if even looking at me disgusted him
08:28Get her out of my sight
08:29Lock her back in her room now
08:31I struggled against the guard's grip
08:33And let out a sharp, bitter laugh
08:35You're all playing your parts so well
08:38Just make sure she doesn't actually break a bone
08:40And pass out from the pain
08:41Lydia suddenly went rigid
08:43Her head lolled forward
08:44And she slumped
08:45Unconscious
08:46My mother screamed
08:48Someone get her in the car
08:49We need to get to the hospital now
08:51The guard scooped Lydia up
08:53And sprinted out the door
08:55With my parents and brother racing after them
08:57The roar of engines filled the courtyard
08:59And within seconds, they were gone
09:01I was thrown back into my room like garbage
09:04A few days later, Lydia was discharged from the hospital
09:08My parents shoved me into the car
09:10And dragged me straight to the Sterling Group headquarters
09:12The normally spacious lobby was packed wall to wall with employees
09:16My parents had summoned the entire company to publicly clear Lydia's name
09:20On the massive LED screen in the center of the room
09:23A video played on loop
09:24Footage of Lydia handing out backpacks to underprivileged children in remote villages
09:28And late night shots of her working tirelessly on the West Side Development Project
09:33My father stepped onto the platform
09:36Microphone in hand
09:37His voice booming across the lobby
09:40Ladies and gentlemen
09:42It is my great misfortune to announce
09:45That we brought home a daughter of such rotten characters
09:50Out of pure jealousy
09:51She spread vicious, slanderous rumors about Lydia throughout this company
09:55She has not only damaged our family's reputation
09:59She has committed an unforgivable moral crime
10:02The employees, not knowing the full story
10:05Began whispering amongst themselves
10:06Once trash, always trash
10:08Doesn't matter if you put her in a mansion
10:12I heard she grew up in some backwater foster home
10:15People from places like that are all liars and thieves
10:18If she's willing to slander her own sister
10:20There's nothing she wouldn't do
10:21Lydia, supported by Julian
10:23Walked up to me and held out a piece of paper
10:26A printed confession titled
10:28Statement of Guilt and Apology
10:30Evelyn, I know why you did this
10:32All you have to do is sign this
10:34Admit you lied
10:35And apologize to me in front of everyone
10:37Then I'll forgive you
10:39I stared at her smug face
10:41My chest heaving with barely restrained rage
10:44I never said those things
10:45But if I had said you slept in Mr. Harrington
10:49Before I could finish, Julian's polished oxford slammed into the back of my knee
10:54I collapsed onto the marble floor with a sickening crack
10:57The employees around me erupted in laughter
11:00Some even pulled out their phones
11:02Snapping photos and recording videos of my humiliation
11:05Karma's a bitch
11:07Shane tore through me like a deleted thing
11:11Stop! Evelyn didn't lie! I can prove it!
11:14Everyone froze
11:14A young woman shoved her way through the crowd
11:17Stop! Evelyn didn't lie! I can prove it!
11:19She is the intern I'd comforted on my first day at the office
11:22Who'd been crying in the break room after getting chewed out by her supervisor
11:25She planted herself in front of me
11:28Her voice shaking but firm as she pointed at Lydia
11:31I saw it with my own eyes that night when we were working late
11:35Lydia got into Mr. Harrington's car and they were in the back seat together
11:39The entire lobby went dead silent
11:41Lydia's face drained of color
11:44But she recovered quickly
11:45Throwing herself into Julian's arms and wailing at the top of her lungs
11:49Julian! How much did Evelyn pay this girl to lie for her?
11:54First she makes up disgusting rumors
11:56And now she's bribing people to back her up?
11:59What kind of monthus anymore? I just want to die
12:01The crowd's shock instantly morphed into contempt
12:04Julian's expression darkened
12:06Glaring at the intern with pure hatred
12:09He stepped forward and backhanded her across the face
12:12The intern lost her balance and hit the floor hard
12:15Blood trickling from the corner of her mouth
12:18You've gone too far!
12:20Throw this traitorous little bitch out of my building!
12:24Fire her immediately!
12:26Blacklist her from every company in the industry!
12:28I want her name ruined!
12:29Four security guards swarmed the intern
12:32Raining fists and kicks down on her fragile body
12:36She crawled into a ball on the floor
12:38I knelt on the cold floor
12:39Watching the girl who'd been beaten half to death for telling the truth
12:43I bit down on my lower lip so hard
12:45That blood streamed down my chin
12:47But I didn't even feel it
12:49My trust in them shattered completely
12:53Mom, Dad, Evelyn must be doing this because she's terrified I'll steal her inheritance
12:59I know she hates me
13:01She's always hated me for taking away the life that should have been hers all these years
13:05She clutched my father's pant leg
13:07As long as you let me stay by your side, I'll be happy even if it kills me
13:11Julian strode over, grabbed a fistful of my hair, and yanked my head up
13:15Everyone, take a good look at this vile excuse for a human being
13:22Today, I, Julian Blackstone, am officially calling off my engagement to her
13:27Next month, Lydia and I will be having the grandest wedding this city has ever seen
13:33My father stood on the platform like a judge, passing sentence
13:37If you don't confess and apologize right now, I will disown you in front of this entire company
13:43You won't see a single share of sterling group stock
13:46Not one
13:47Julian's designer's shoe pressed down on the back of my hand
13:50Grinding my bones into the marble
13:52The sickening crunch was followed by a wave of agony that shot straight to my skull
13:57Around me, the crowd roared with laughter
14:00Camera flashes exploding in my face
14:02My parents' disgusted voices echoed in my ears
14:05I closed my eyes
14:06The last fragile thread of affection I'd held for the sterling family snapped
14:10I opened my eyes slowly and spoke
14:12I'm going to ask you one last time
14:14Are you absolutely certain you want me to stand in front of all these people
14:18And confess that I spread those rumors?
14:21Of course, you did it, now own up to it
14:24My parents and Julian chimed in impatiently
14:27Stop wasting our time, apologize already
14:30Fine, I confess
14:33I looked at their eager, self-righteous faces
14:36I said Lydia secured the Westside development deal by sleeping with Mr. Harrington
14:40And I said she contracted syphilis from him
14:43Not only that, but Lydia is now pregnant
14:45And the baby is Mr. Harrington's
14:49The entire lobby fell deathly silent
14:52Lydia froze for a split second
14:54You all heard that, right?
14:56She finally admitted it!
14:58She made it all up!
14:59Julian let out a cold, mocking laugh
15:02What are you waiting for?
15:03Get on your knees and apologize now!
15:06But just as she reached the peak of her victory
15:08Lydia let out a blood-curdling scream and collapsed to the ground
15:12Clutching her groin
15:13Blood began pouring down her legs
15:15Lydia!
15:16Julian's face went white as a sheet
15:18And he rushed to her side
15:20The company's front doors exploded in them
15:23Glass and wood splintering everywhere
15:25Mr. Harrington's wife
15:27A massive and muscular woman with a crew of bodyguards
15:30Stormed into the lobby
15:31Where the hell is that home-wrecking whore, Lydia Sterling?
15:35He charged forward, grabbed her by the collar
15:37And ripped her out of Julian's arms
15:39Then he started throwing punches
15:41One after another
15:44You disgusting slut!
15:46You seduced my husband!
15:48He pulled a stack of medical reports from his jacket
15:51And slammed them onto the floor
15:52Everyone, look at this!
15:54My husband caught syphids from this filthy parasite!
15:58The lab results scattered across the marble
16:00The words, stage two syphilis
16:02Glaring up at the crowd in red ink
16:04Julian's face turned ashen
16:05And he staggered backward
16:07Staring at the papers in disbelief
16:09Lydia was already barely conscious from the beating
16:11Blood streaming from her mouth
16:14Julian, it's not true
16:16I don't have any disease
16:18This is all Evelyn's doing
16:20She hired actors to destroy me
16:22She even faked these medical records
16:25She's a monster
16:26She'll do anything to frame me
16:28She sobbed hysterically
16:29He looked at the medical reports
16:31Melted into pure rage
16:33Then at Lydia's tear-streaked face
16:34And his doubt vanished entirely
16:36Get the hell off her!
16:38Julian kicked Mr. Harrington's wife in the chest
16:40And a swarm of security guards surrounded him
16:43If you touch my fiancé again
16:45You're a dead man
16:47Then Julian spun around
16:49His eyes blazing with fury
16:51As he glared at me
16:52Ever do you ever stop?
16:55You went so far as to hire actors
16:57And forge medical documents
16:59Just to prove your disgusting lives?
17:02Lydia is clean
17:04There's no way she'd ever catch something that vile
17:07My father's voice shook with rage
17:09This is unforgivable
17:11How did we ever raise such a venomous snake?
17:16You thought of something this despicable
17:19Something this evil
17:21My mother was on her knees beside Lydia
17:23Stroking her bloodied face
17:25My poor baby
17:26How did you end up with such a cruel sister?
17:29This is all my fault
17:32It hurts
17:34Suddenly
17:35Lydia let out another agonized scream
17:38And went limp
17:38Collapsing in a pool of her own blood
17:41The puddle beneath her was growing larger by the second
17:44Julian's face went white
17:45Lydia!
17:46And he barked orders at the guards
17:48Get the car!
17:49We're going to the hospital!
17:51Now!
17:51My parents stumbled after them
17:53Their faces twisted in panic
17:55The lobby descended into chaos
17:57My brother appeared out of nowhere
17:59Grabbed me by the collar
18:00And started dragging me toward the exit
18:03You're coming with us
18:04If anything happens to Lydia
18:07You're going to pay for it with your life
18:09He shoved me into the back seat of the car
18:12And my head slammed against the window
18:14Through the glass
18:15I watched Julian's car speed away
18:17Running red lights
18:19And swerving through traffic
18:20Like a scene from a disaster
18:22A cold smile tugged at the corner of my lips
18:25The hospital emergency room hallway was silent
18:28The only sound was my mother's muffled sobbing
18:30Finally, the red light above the door went dark
18:33And the doctor stepped out
18:34His expression grim
18:35Julian and my family immediately swarmed him
18:38Doctor, how is she?
18:41The doctor sighed
18:44The patient experienced severe rectal bleeding
18:46Due to acute ternal hemorrhahalride rupture
18:49Additionally, there are visible signs of blunt force trauma to the genital area
18:53She'll need to remain on bed rest
18:56What?
18:57Hemorrhahal bleeding?
18:58And trauma?
18:59Julian's face went slack with shock
19:01And my parents and brother looked equally stunned
19:04A nurse wheeled Lydia into a VIP room
19:06And we followed
19:07Lydia's eyes fluttered open
19:09And when she heard the nurse repeating the doctor's instructions
19:12Even she looked genuinely shocked
19:14But within a second
19:15Her brain recalibrated
19:17She grabbed Julian's hand
19:18Tears welling up in her eyes
19:20Julian
19:22You're not gonna think less of me
19:24Because I have hemorrhings
19:25Are you?
19:26But I swear
19:27I'm innocent
19:29The injuries down there are because
19:31I fought back when Mr. Harrington
19:33Tried to force himself on me
19:34And his people beat me up
19:36This is proof that I stayed loyal to you
19:39That I resisted with everything I had
19:41Julian's entire body went rigid
19:43Lydia, you really went through all that
19:44For me?
19:46Lydia nodded pitifully
19:47Of course it was for you
19:50I didn't want to use this to guilt you into marrying me
19:53I was going to wait until you'd completely ended things with Evelyn
19:56Julian was utterly convinced
19:58He grabbed her hand tightly
19:59His earlier doubts completely erased
20:01He turned to look at me
20:03His expression twisted with disgust
20:06Evelyn, what do you have to say for yourself now?
20:10Lydia fought them off to stay faithful to me
20:12She's devoted her entire heart to me
20:14How could she possibly be sleeping with Mr. Harrington?
20:19Those people who barged in here were obviously hired by you
20:22My father let out a long sigh of relief
20:26He called his assistant
20:27Send out an internal memo immediately
20:30Announce that Lydia and the Blackstone family will be moving forward with the engagement
20:33As for that ridiculous slander my daughter spread
20:35It's been completely debuffed
20:36And send those thugs who stormed the building to the police
20:39My mother clutched her chest dramatically
20:41Tears of joy streaming down her face
20:43Do you hear that?
20:44Lydia is devoted to Julian
20:45You tried to curse your own sister with lies?
20:50You're not even human!
20:51Julian helped Lydia settle into the hospital bed
20:54Then strode over to me
20:56His gaze ice cold
20:59Evelyn
20:59I gave you a chance
21:01And you threw it away
21:03Once Lydia recovers and is discharged
21:06I'm personally escorting you to prison
21:09Faced with their accusations
21:11I started laughing
21:12Unsettling them
21:13I shook off the guard's grip
21:15And locked eyes with Lydia
21:16My voice sharp and cold
21:18Whether or not she stayed faithful to you
21:21The syphilis rash on her body will tell you the truth soon enough
21:25A flicker of panic flashed across Lydia's face
21:27But she quickly now
21:28You're lying!
21:29You psychopath!
21:31You're just jealous that I won Julian's heart!
21:34You couldn't get mom and dad to love you
21:36You couldn't get Julian to want you
21:38So now you're cursing me with some disgusting disease!
21:41Julian was about to slap me again
21:42When the hospital room door swung open
21:45The attending physician walked in
21:46Holding a stack of blood work results
21:48His face grave
21:49His eyes swept over everyone in the room
21:51And he took a deep breath
21:53Who here is the patient's family?
21:55Julian stepped forward immediately
21:57I'm her fiancé
21:58Doctor, she's gonna be okay, right?
22:00The doctor glanced at him
22:02His expression complicated
22:05During the routine blood draw
22:06We ran a full infectious disease palette
22:09As per protocol
22:11He handed the lab results to Julian
22:17The patient, Lydia Sterling
22:19Has tested positive for stage 2 syphilis
22:22The titer levels are extremely high
22:24Indicating she's in a highly contagious stage
22:27The room plunged into complete silence
22:30Julian staggered backward
22:31His legs giving out beneath him
22:33As he collapsed onto the floor
22:35He stared at Lydia
22:37Who just moments ago
22:38Had seemed so pure and innocent
22:40With a look of absolute horror
22:43No! That's impossible!
22:45You're laughing at a mistake!
22:48I know what happened!
22:49The needle you used to draw my blood
22:51Must have been contaminated!
22:53You infected me!
22:55Julian, you have to believe me!
22:57Miss Sterling, that's medically impossible
23:00The infection didn't occur from the blood draw
23:02He glanced down at his clipboard
23:03And continued
23:04Your tiler levels indicate
23:06You've been infected
23:07For at least two months
23:08Additionally, regarding the fetus
23:10My stomach!
23:12Doctor, it hurts so much!
23:13Please help me!
23:14Something's wrong!
23:16The doctor was interrupted
23:17And was not able to mention
23:18Lydia's pregnancy
23:19I leaned against the doorframe
23:21Arms crossed
23:23Watching the whole scene unfold
23:24With detached amusement
23:26Mr. Blackstone
23:28If you want to know the truth
23:29Why don't you call your oging?
23:32How'd him look into
23:33Whether Mr. Harrington
23:34Has also been diagnosed
23:35Of syphilis?
23:36Julian's hands shook
23:37As he pulled out his phone
23:38And dialed his assistant
23:39The moment the call connected
23:41Mr. Blackstone
23:42It's confirmed
23:43Mr. Harrington
23:44Has been diagnosed
23:44With stage 2 syphilis
23:45And sir
23:46There's more
23:47Miss Sterling is pregnant
23:48The whole industry
23:49Is saying the child
23:49Is Mr. Harrington's
23:50The entire Westside
23:51Development project
23:52Has been shut down
23:53Saying the child
23:53Is Mr. Harrington's
23:54The entire Westside
23:55Development project
23:56Has been shut down
23:57Julian's face
23:58Went from shock
23:59To confusion
24:00To realization
24:01And finally
24:02To pure
24:03Murderous rage
24:05You're
24:06Pregnant?
24:07Lydia's face
24:08Turned deathly pale
24:09Yes
24:10The patient is approximately
24:11Eight weeks pregnant
24:12As I was trying to mention earlier
24:14You lying piece of shit
24:17Julian's eyes
24:18Make bloodshot
24:19And he lunged
24:20At the hospital bed
24:21He grabbed Lydia
24:22By the shoulders
24:23Shaking her violently
24:24We haven't even slept together
24:26You said you wanted to wait
24:27Until the wedding night
24:28Whose child is it?
24:30How many men
24:30Have you been with?
24:31Lydia gasped for air
24:33Tears streaming down her face
24:35But she had nowhere
24:36Left to run
24:38Realizing there was
24:38No way out
24:39She gave up the act
24:41Entirely
24:41And started playing the victim card
24:44Julian please
24:45I was forced
24:46I only did it to help you
24:48Secure the west side investment
24:49Mr. Harrington got me drunk
24:51And took advantage of me
24:52But the baby
24:53The baby is yours
24:55I swear it's yours
24:57I know you never wanted
24:58The burden of fatherhood
25:01So
25:01I made arrangements
25:03To carry your child myself
25:05Using your frozen samples
25:07Julian's hand flew across her face
25:09Bullshit!
25:10Slapping her so hard
25:11She slammed back into the pillows
25:13Then he climbed onto the bed
25:14And started beating her
25:16Slap after slap
25:17Over and over
25:19Until her face was unrecognizable
25:21My parents and brother
25:23Stood frozen in place
25:24They looked at Lydia
25:26Bruised
25:27Bloodied
25:27Pregnant
25:28Carrying of the nereal disease
25:29And then turned to look at me
25:31Leaning calmly against the doorway
25:34In that moment
25:35They finally understood one thing
25:37I hadn't lied
25:39Every single word I'd said was true
25:42My brother stared down at his own trembling hands
25:45He remembered how he'd used those same hands to beat me
25:49To call me ungrateful
25:50All for this disease-ridden liar
25:53The weight of his guilt nearly crushed him
25:55His legs buckled
25:57And he had to grab the wall
25:58To keep from collapsing
25:59Julian finally stopped his assault on Lydia
26:03You said the bastard in your belly is mine?
26:06Fine
26:06Since she claims she's carrying my child
26:09We'd better make sure the baby gets proper prenatal care
26:11Watch them both
26:12I don't care how much it costs
26:14Make sure that thing gets born alive
26:16So we can run a paternity test
26:17Both Lydia and Mr. Harrington
26:19Were placed under house arrest
26:21Julian stationed bodyguards and private nurses in the hospital room
26:24On rotating 24-hour shifts
26:26During her confinement
26:28Lydia tried multiple times to push herself down the stairs
26:31To induce a miscarriage
26:32But every single time
26:34The nurses caught her before she could succeed
26:36Meanwhile
26:36My father and brother finally started digging into Lydia's past
26:40She hadn't just slept with Mr. Harrington
26:42Her private life was a disaster of entanglements and scandals
26:47The truth slapped them across the face
26:49One revelation after another
26:50Until they were dizzy with shame
26:53Three days after I moved out of the Sterling Mansion
26:56My brother cornered me outside my new apartment
26:59He was holding a bakery box from an upscale patisserie
27:02The moment he saw me
27:03His eyes turned red
27:04And he rushed forward
27:05Evelyn
27:07I brought you those French macaroons from that place you used to love
27:10I waited in line for two hours
27:13They're still fresh
27:14Please
27:14Just have one
27:16Please
27:16I took the box from his hands
27:18And for a split second
27:19Hope flared in his eyes
27:20Then I flipped my wrist
27:22The delicate macaroons tumbled out onto the dirty pavement
27:25Their pastel shells cracking against the concrete
27:28I don't like macaroons
27:30I like pancakes
27:32But no one in the Sterling family ever bothered to make me a single stack
27:35My brother stood frozen in place
27:38As tears streamed down his haggard face
27:40My father, desperate to make amends
27:42Reinstated me at the company
27:44The employees who had once mocked me
27:46Now fell silent whenever I passed
27:48Heads bowed, eyes averted
27:50Everyone assumed I, a girl dragged back from poverty
27:54Would crumble under the pressure of salvaging the disastrous West Side Development Project
27:59But it only took me one week
28:01I scheduled meetings with every single landowner involved in the West Side Zone
28:06And sat across from them at the negotiation table
28:08Gone was the silent, cowering girl they thought they knew
28:12I was sharp, ruthless, and surgically precise in dismantling their objections
28:17When I walked back into Sterling Group headquarters
28:19With signed contracts in hand
28:21My father's hands trembled as he took them from me
28:25Tears rolled down his weathered face
28:27Evelyn
28:29Your father was blind
28:30I was so, so blind
28:32The company is yours now
28:34All of it
28:36Please
28:36Forgive me just this once
28:39I didn't even look at him
28:41As I walked past toward my new office
28:43That's when Julian appeared
28:45The once arrogant heir of the Blackstone Empire
28:48Now looked hollowed out
28:49His eyes red-rimmed and exhausted
28:52He stared at me
28:53And his expression twisted with regret
28:55Evelyn
28:56I broke off the engagement with Lydia
28:59I was an idiot
29:01I was blind
29:02She manipulated me
29:04And I fell for it
29:04His voice cracked
29:06Give me one more chance
29:07A marriage between Sterling Group and Blackstone Holdings
29:10I'll have my family transfer 30% of Blackstone's shares as a wedding gift
29:14Just say yes
29:15I sank into the chair that had once belonged to my father
29:17Casually twirling a pen between my fingers
29:20I looked up
29:21And met his desperate gaze
29:24Wait for the baby
29:26Julian's face turned ashen
29:28In the days that followed
29:30My mother appeared at the office
29:32Carrying a container of homemade beef stew
29:34Evelyn, please
29:37I failed you
29:38I'm your mother
29:39And I failed you
29:42I think about it every single day
29:44Save the stew for your beloved Lydia
29:46After all, with her condition
29:48She's the one who needs the nutrition
29:50My mother's sobs cut off abruptly
29:53She crumpled to the floor
29:54Staring at my retreating figure
29:57The day Lydia went into labor
29:58The hospital waiting room was thick with dread
30:01My parents, my brother, and Julian
30:03All of them sat in tense silence
30:06Waiting for the final verdict
30:07The delivery room doors swung open
30:09And a nurse emerged carrying a sickly, underweight infant
30:13Julian didn't even glance at the child
30:15He merely gestured toward the DNA lab director
30:18Who'd been waiting on standby
30:20Rush it
30:21I want results in three hours
30:23Those three hours were Lydia's last desperate scramble for survival
30:27And my family's eternal humiliation
30:30For me, it was just another afternoon
30:33I leaned against the window
30:34Calmly running the sapphire necklace
30:36Now returned to me through my fingers
30:39When the lab director finally emerged with the report
30:41The entire hallway went deathly quiet
30:44Mr. Blackstone
30:46Paternity has been excluded
30:47Additionally, the infant shows signs of congenital abnormalities
30:51Likely caused by in vitro syphilis exposure
30:54Julian's face went blank
30:55Then he turned and stormed into Lydia's recovery room
30:59Ripping the blanket off her bed
31:00Congratulations
31:02You played me for a fool long enough
31:04To become the laughing stock of the entire city
31:07He raised his hand and delivered one final vicious slap
31:11Enjoy the rest of your life in prison
31:13With a snap of his fingers
31:15His security team scorned Lydia
31:17Dragging her out of the bed and beating her as she screamed
31:20My parents didn't even try to stop them
31:23They stood there
31:23Staring at the damning paternity report
31:26And then slowly turned to look at me
31:28The regret in their eyes was bottomless
31:31Evelyn
31:32My mother stumbled toward me and collapsed at my feet
31:35Her knees hitting the tile with a painful crack
31:37She clutched the hem of my coat
31:39Sobbing uncontrollably
31:41I was so blind
31:44How could I have treated you that way?
31:48Hit me
31:49Please hit me
31:51I deserve it
31:52I'm the one who made you suffer
31:54She raised her own hand and began slapping herself across the face over and over
31:59Mrs. Sterling
32:00The floor is cold
32:01You're getting older
32:03Save the performance
32:04My father stepped forward
32:06His hands shaking as he pulled a document from his briefcase
32:09Evelyn
32:10I know I was wrong
32:12This is the shared transfer agreement for Sterling Creek
32:14I've already signed it
32:16Everything
32:17All of it
32:18Goes to you
32:20Just
32:22Please come home
32:25Let me spend the rest of my life making this up to you
32:28I took the document and signed my name at the bottom
32:30Fine
32:32From today forward
32:33Sterling Group becomes Hale Enterprises
32:36My mother grabbed my bag
32:38Trying to carry it for me like a servant
32:40Evelyn
32:40Please stay at the house tonight
32:42I'll cook for you myself
32:43I walked past her without a word
32:45From that day on
32:46My brother resigned from his VP position
32:48And became the hardest working project manager in the company
32:52Two weeks later
32:53He collapsed at his desk from exhaustion
32:56When the medics revived him
32:57Is Evelyn
32:58Is she still angry at me?
33:00Julian meanwhile
33:01Threw Blackstone Holdings into chaos
33:03By forcibly diverting billions in company resources to support my projects
33:08Ignoring protests from his own board of directors
33:12At the celebratory banquet after my latest acquisition
33:15He approached me with a glass of wine
33:17Evelyn
33:18I was arrogant and stupid
33:20If you can forgive me
33:22I'll spend the rest of my life working for you
33:24Whatever you need
33:27Let's move forward with the merger
33:28Please
33:29I swirled the wine in my glass
33:32Looking at the man who once stood above me
33:34Mr. Blackstone
33:37I'm open to business partnerships
33:39But marriage?
33:42You should probably get tested for syphilis first
33:45One year later
33:47Under my leadership
33:48Sterling Group
33:49Now Hale Enterprises
33:51Didn't just recover
33:52It devoured several of Blackstone Holdings' key projects
33:56And became the most feared name in the industry
33:59I was no longer the scared, silent girl they'd dragged back from the gutter
34:04I was Evelyn Hale
34:06And people crossed the street when they saw me coming
34:09I used part of my fortune to buy the entire block across from the company headquarters
34:13And opened a flower shop
34:15I tracked down the intern who'd been beaten and blacklisted for defending me
34:20And I brought her back
34:21Starting today, you're the store manager
34:23Your salary is ten times what you made before
34:25You saved my life
34:28She'd stand among the flowers
34:30Eyes bright
34:32And ask me questions like
34:34Miss Hale, are you sure you don't want to move back into the estate?
34:39My brother, determined to atone
34:41Had requested a transfer to the harshest project site in the Northwest
34:46He spent his days in sandstorms and brutal heat
34:49The spoiled air finally stripped of his privilege
34:53Every single day
34:54He sent me a photo of the barren landscape
34:57With the same caption
34:58I never replied
35:00Not once
35:03One quiet afternoon
35:05I sat by the shop window
35:06Trimming flowers
35:07The freedom felt better than any amount of power
35:11A group of kids ran past the shop
35:13Laughing and shoving each other
35:15One little girl tripped and scraped her knee
35:17Bursting into tears
35:19I walked over and gently patted her head
35:22Don't cry
35:23Something wonderful is about to happen to you
35:26She sniffled and looked up at me
35:28A second later
35:29She spotted her lost kitten hiding behind a planter box
35:33She squealed with joy and threw her arms around the cat
35:37And turned and gave me the brightest smile
35:40My curse had finally transformed
35:43The bell above the door chimed softly
35:47A tall, striking woman in a crisp police uniform stepped inside
35:51She walked toward me
35:53Her face flushed pink
35:55Looking almost shy
35:57Evelyn
35:58Evelyn
35:58Do you remember me?
35:59I froze
36:00She was the girl from the orphanage
36:02The only one who ever shared her food with me
36:05The one who got her leg broken by the director for protecting me
36:10I'd like to buy a bouquet of roses
36:12For someone I've loved for 20 years
36:13I selected the most beautiful roses in the shop
36:18And handed them to her
36:21She took the bouquet
36:22And then held it out to me
36:24These are for you
36:25I want the rest of your life to be full of flowers
36:27And endless spring
36:30She took my hand
36:31And led me to her car
36:33We drove to the highest peak
36:35Overlooking the city
36:36Where the lights below
36:38Sparkled like fallen stars
36:40I closed my eyes
36:41From today forward
36:42May everyone I love
36:44Live in peace and joy
36:45And may everyone I hate
36:46Never get what they desire
