08:07Nous n'avons pas le maître et la servante ici.
08:10Lina shrunk back.
08:11I'm sorry, that was a poor choice of words.
08:14The butler, who seemed to have seen through everything long ago, smiled faintly.
08:19This way, please.
08:21Lina opened mouth, then had no choice but to follow him downstairs.
08:26My daughter watched her go, a little worried.
08:29She's not going to get picked on, is she?
08:32Silly girl, she's your guest.
08:35You're the daughter of the Vale family, no one would dare touch her.
08:38It's my fault, really.
08:40I assumed every little girl loves pink.
08:42Just tell me what you like and I'll have it changed in the next few days.
08:45Then I took her by the shoulders and looked her in the eye.
08:48Remember this, you are Vera Val's daughter.
08:54From now on, no matter what happens,
08:58you never have to give up the things you love for anyone else.
09:02The Vale family finding their missing daughter after 18 years made headlines across Granston.
09:08I spent weeks preparing and finally hosted a formal gala to officially introduce Ivy back into the family.
09:15When the lights came up, I watched the entrance with my heart full, waiting for my transformed daughter.
09:24But under everyone's gaze, the person who walked in was Lena.
09:30She was wearing the ivory silk gown I had custom made for Ivy.
09:34Flawless makeup.
09:35Even her smile was practiced to perfection.
09:40The smile froze on my face.
09:45Ah, Lena is stunning the whole room.
09:48Even the male lead is staring.
09:49Smart move by Lena.
09:51She got Ivy out of the way first,
09:52then soaked up the $30,000 celebrity makeup artist
09:55and the $200,000 custom gown mom paid for.
09:58The entire hall was buzzing.
10:00That's the daughter the Vale's got back?
10:02I thought she'd be some rough street kid.
10:04But look at how elegant she is.
10:06Prettier than the Thorn girl even.
10:08Looks like Granston has a new it girl.
10:10What is going on?
10:12I sent you to pick up your sister down.
10:13You couldn't even do that.
10:16Adrian looked completely cluneless.
10:18Ivy wasn't in her room, only Lena.
10:20She said she didn't know the way, so I just brought her with me.
10:22I'm sorry, Mrs. Vale.
10:24I begged Adrian to bring me.
10:26Please don't blame him.
10:27Tears trembled in Lena's eyes.
10:28I pressed my temple, forcing down my anger.
10:31Go find your sister.
10:32Now.
10:33Only after Adrian turned to leave,
10:35did I pick up the microphone and address the guests.
10:38My apologies, everyone.
10:40This young lady is not my daughter, Ivy Vale.
10:43She is just a friend of my hers.
10:45My daughter can be a bit headstrong,
10:46but she will be joining us shortly.
10:51She's not Ivy?
10:52How does she have the nerve to use the main doors?
10:54Talk about desperate for the spotlight.
10:55Lena's eyes grew redder.
10:57She stared down at her shoes, voice quivering.
11:00I'm sorry, Mrs. Vale.
11:01I was just so curious.
11:02I'll probably never get another chance in my life to see something like this.
11:06Mrs. Vale, I didn't mean it.
11:08When I entered the room, she was the only one there.
11:10I assumed she was Ivy Vale, so I did her hair and makeup.
11:14I turned to Lena.
11:17And you didn't correct her?
11:20Not once?
11:21I'm sorry, Mrs. Vale.
11:22I thought you'd hired the stylist for me.
11:24And the gown?
11:25Also prepared for you?
11:27It's just that color isn't something Rue would ever wear, so I misunderstood.
11:31Her name is Ivy Lena Voss.
11:32She bit her lip.
11:34Are you testing me?
11:36I'm sorry, Mrs. Vale.
11:37Please don't be angry.
11:38I know I don't deserve any of this.
11:40I'll take the dress off right now.
11:42I should have known no one would ever truly be kind to me.
11:44I should have known.
11:45She made a great show of tugging at the gown, but the dress never came off, and not a single
11:50tear ever fell.
11:51Let it go, Vera.
11:52The girl clearly didn't mean any harm.
11:53Really?
11:54She's on the verge of tears.
11:55Don't be so hard on her.
11:56People nearby started to speak up for her.
11:58I just watched her, my expression cold.
12:01She wasn't about to actually cry.
12:03That $30,000 makeup job wouldn't survive it.
12:06And right then, Adrienne walked in through the main doors with my daughter.
12:10She was dressed exactly as before.
12:13Her wild look instantly drew every eye in the room.
12:16On top of Lena's little spectacle, the whispers started immediately.
12:20I saw my daughter hesitate at the door and walked straight to her.
12:27Where did you go?
12:28Mom was worried sick.
12:30She scratched her head.
12:31Someone told me a kid from my old crew got jumped, so I went.
12:34Is he all right?
12:35She'd braced herself for a scolding.
12:37Instead, she looked up into gentle eyes.
12:39Next time you need mom, just say the word.
12:41It would make me happy, knowing you're willing to lean on me.
12:45She flipped her hand over and squeezed mine.
12:47Mom, we're all okay.
12:48It was the first time she'd called me mom since coming home.
12:51I pulled her into my arms, overwhelmed.
12:53Then, glowing with pride, I led my daughter to the front of the hall.
12:58Everyone, allow me to formally introduce my daughter, Ivy Vale.
13:02You've all seen her sense of style.
13:03I can't claim to understand young people's fashion, but I think she looks wonderful.
13:07Don't you agree?
13:08The elder's attitude sets the tone.
13:10It's great, honestly.
13:11My son's into this look, too.
13:12Y2K Punk, he calls it.
13:14Since I had spoken first, others quickly followed suit.
13:17A few young airs and air-deringses drifted over to my daughter.
13:20Is that lip ring real?
13:22My mom would never let me.
13:24I'm so jealous you have such a cool mom.
13:26And that tattoo is so cool.
13:29What does the design mean?
13:30A crowd gathered fast.
13:31My daughter rolled up her sleeve and launched into stories about being the one person at her
13:35old school nobody dared to mess with.
13:36Lena got squeezed out of the circle, unable to get a word in.
13:39She stood there a moment, then began to sniffle softly, her eyes perfectly red.
13:43She looked completely pitiful.
13:44I'm sorry, Ivy.
13:46Mrs. Vale blamed me for accidentally wearing your gown.
13:49If you're angry, I'll leave right now.
13:52The second my daughter saw tears, she yanked her back into the circle.
14:02Lena, don't cry.
14:04Come on, what's mine is yours.
14:05If you like it, it's yours.
14:07You look way better in it than I would.
14:09Lena promptly wiped away non-zissident tears, did a little twirl for the crowd, and asked
14:14with a smile.
14:16Does it really look good on me?
14:17A few scattered, half-hearted compliments trickled in.
14:20Her smile hadn't even fully formed when someone asked.
14:23You're one of the girls from Ivy's old crew, right?
14:25Yeah.
14:25Giving away a 200k dress just like that, you must be pretty high up on her list.
14:29Lena forced a smile, a flash of pure venom in her eyes.
14:32The day after the gala, the Thorn family paid a personal visit.
14:35The veils and the Thorns go back a hundred years.
14:38If Ivy had never gone missing, Lucian Thorn would have been her fiancé.
14:41That was exactly what Lucharian and the senior Thorns had come to discuss.
14:44At the gala the night before, Lucian had clearly been drawn to Ivy.
14:48He'd sat beside her, listening to her talk for a long while.
14:50I understand why you've come today, but this depends entirely on my daughter's own wishes.
14:55She's out at the moment.
14:56When she returns, we can let her and Lucian get some one-on-one time.
14:59It's the 21st century.
15:00I won't be dictating her life for her.
15:02The older Thorns all nodded.
15:04Of course, of course.
15:06Let the children get to know each other first.
15:08The comments drifted up again.
15:10Here we go.
15:11Lena's about to be pissed.
15:12Someone's gonna catch hell for this.
15:13This creep got Lena's number literally last night, and today he's here asking for Ivy's
15:17hand.
15:18Disgusting.
15:18You don't get it.
15:20He wants the Vale family's resources.
15:21The one he actually wants is Lena.
15:23Watching the wall of comments flicker past, I frowned towards the corner of the room.
15:27Lena suddenly spoke up from the hallway corner.
15:30Everyone, there's something I have to announce.
15:32Every gaze in the room snapped to her.
15:34She looked at me timidly.
15:35Mrs. Vale, I know you may blame me for this, but I have to say it.
15:39Otherwise, it's simply too unfair to Mr. Thorne.
15:41She gathered her courage, bit her lip, and said,
15:44The truth is, back when Ivy was running the streets, she was already sleeping around with
15:49some neighborhood lowlight.
15:53The room went dead silent.
15:55On the sofa, the Thorne elders cleared their throats awkwardly.
15:58And who might this young lady be?
16:00Lena answered in a small voice, eyes rimmed red.
16:02I'm Ivy's childhood friend.
16:04We grew up together.
16:05What you just said, is it true?
16:07She noted, making it look like she had agonized over this before finally making up her mind.
16:11I'm sorry, Mrs. Vale.
16:13I know you love your daughter unconditionally, but this family has a right to know.
16:18Go on, then.
16:19She gave a small, apologial nod before starting.
16:22Ivy used to be called Rue.
16:24We lived on the same street, grew up side by side.
16:28She had a happy family.
16:30She was the eldest, with younger brothers and sisters below her.
16:34Hold on.
16:36Are you trying to tell me Ivy had it good in that household?
16:39Lena wrinked her hands and nodded.
16:41And that's not what my investigation found in that house.
16:44She was beaten at the drop of a hat.
16:46Because she wasn't theirs.
16:48She was forced to start working at eight years old.
16:52Basically raising the younger kids.
16:54And even then, they'd still beat her and scream at her.
16:57That tattoo across her chest?
16:59It's there to cover up a burn scar they gave her.
17:01Just saying it aloud made my hand shake around my teacup.
17:04I casually dropped those details, and immediately, this childhood friend lost all credibility.
17:10No, that's not!
17:11Her foster parents were truly good people!
17:13Sure, they were good people.
17:14But did that mean they actually treated Ivy well?
17:16Tell me.
17:18What kind of loving parents would name their own daughter Rue?
17:24Lina stood frozen, shaking, not daring to say another word.
17:28I crossed my legs and looked at her.
17:29Go on.
17:30She closed her eyes briefly, then continued.
17:32Ivy was always rebellious.
17:34She refused to study.
17:35You've seen her grades.
17:36If it wasn't for me pushing her, she never would have finished high school.
17:39And then, right after graduation,
17:42I saw it with my own eyes.
17:44She walked into a hotel with some guy from an auto shop.
17:47By now, the older Thorns were looking visibly displeased.
17:50Only Lucien watched Lina with something like amusement.
17:54So, you're saying she actually slept with him?
17:56Lina's shoulders gave a small shiver.
17:58I can't be sure.
18:00She didn't come home that night, and I was worried,
18:02so I went to the hotel to find her the next morning.
18:04That's when I saw her come out with that guy.
18:07Her clothes were all messed up,
18:09and he told me to mind my own business.
18:11When she finished, I politely showed the Thorn family out.
18:15When my daughter came home, she found me and Adrian on the sofa,
18:18Lina standing across from us.
18:19The tension in the room was thick.
18:20What's going on here?
18:22The moment she stepped in, Lina burst into tears.
18:24Ivy, I think I said something terrible today.
18:26What happened?
18:27Mrs. Vale was going to arrange your engagement to the Thorn heir,
18:31so I told them you already had a boyfriend.
18:34They got super upset and left.
18:36My daughter turned on me, indignant.
18:38Mom, didn't you just say a few days ago
18:39that you'd never dictate my life for me?
18:41The Thorn family?
18:42If you love them so much, you marry him.
18:44I'm not doing it.
18:46Adrian shot up from the sofa.
18:48Ivy, watch your tone with Mom.
18:50I pushed Adrian back down.
18:55Ivy, when did Mom ever say she was arranging an engagement for you?
18:58I turned to Lina with a smile.
19:00Lina, you did wonderfully.
19:01I'd been racking my brain over how to turn the Thorns down.
19:04I've known for a long time that Lucian's private life is a mess,
19:07a mile-long list of ex-girlfriends.
19:10I never liked him.
19:11I never thought he was good enough for my daughter.
19:14Ivy, aren't you going to thank Lina?
19:16My daughter grabbed Lina in a hug and thumped her on me.
19:18Lina!
19:18That's my girl.
19:19Way to go.
19:20The color drained from Lina's face.
19:23I am a bit curious about this boyfriend of yours, though.
19:26What does he do for a living?
19:28She flushed and came to sit against my shoulder.
19:31His name's Simus Reed.
19:32His parents are gone.
19:33He works at his uncle's auto shop.
19:35His uncle works him to the bone and pays him next to nothing.
19:37But Simus is so good to me.
19:38If he only has a hundred bucks, he'll spend ninety on me.
19:41And he's a genius with cars.
19:42I listen with real interest.
19:44He sounds like a good kid.
19:46Tell you what, how about mom fronts the money for you two to open your own auto shop?
19:51You're a young lady of leisure now.
19:53Can't have him too busy to take you on dates.
19:55My daughter threw her arms around me.
19:57Mom, you're serious?
19:59I stroked her hair.
20:01Of course I'm serious.
20:03The Vail family hasn't sunk so low that we need to rely on arranged marriages to keep
20:07our status.
20:08You're free to love whoever you choose.
20:10Mom, you spoiler rotten.
20:12Beside us, Lina looked like she was about to snap her own teeth in half.
20:15I glanced at her inside.
20:17Lina, things have been hectic around here lately.
20:19I'll have someone drive you home this afternoon.
20:22Once the semester starts, I'll rent you an apartment near campus.
20:27My daughter, drunk on the joy of a boyfriend blessed by family, didn't even notice.
20:33Lina could only lower her head in humiliation and pack her things.
20:36Only when I watched her move out did I finally exhale.
20:39Wait, what?
20:40This isn't in the original plot.
20:41Lina getting kicked out looks so pitiful.
20:43Relax.
20:44Lina's the ultimate schemer.
20:46Nobody keeps her down for long.
20:47Just watch.
20:51Those comments kept me on edge for weeks.
20:53But Ivy was doing so well by my side.
20:55We grew closer by the day.
20:57Slowly, I let my guard down.
20:59Until one afternoon, I was jolted out of my nap by shouting downstairs.
21:03I came down to find Lina holding back my daughter who was falling apart.
21:07Ivy, calm down.
21:08Mrs. Vale is your own mother.
21:10Ivy, what happened?
21:11I rushed over in a panic and was violently shoved away.
21:14My daughter's lips trembled.
21:15And here I thought you actually loved me.
21:17Turns out you were just using me, just like everyone else.
21:19Lina's move here is vicious.
21:21She had someone run the boyfriend down with a car.
21:24My heart stopped at those words.
21:27Honestly, how is someone this evil the female lead?
21:29If you don't like it, don't watch.
21:31It's called a villainous arc.
21:32Look it up.
21:33I steadied my breathing, forced myself to ignore the floating text, and focused on my daughter.
21:38Tell me what happened.
21:39Please.
21:40She was on the verge of shattering.
21:42Simus and I were supposed to go to the beach today.
21:45But when I called him, he got hit by a car while we were on the phone.
21:51Ten more minutes and I would have been with him.
21:54Ivy, don't jump to conclusions.
21:56Even if the driver works for the Vale family, that doesn't mean Mrs. Vale ordered it.
21:59She hadn't worn that heavy makeup in a long time.
22:02Who else could it be?
22:03You run the entire Vale family!
22:04If you didn't like Silas, you could have just said so.
22:07Why give me hope first and then destroy it right in front of me?
22:11Every word of that was designed to aim suspicion straight at me.
22:15Right now, her face was completely drained of color.
22:18The grief was too much.
22:22She collapsed where she stood, fainting dead away.
22:25Ivy's such an idiot.
22:26One little push from the female lead and she just believes it.
22:29To be fair, Lena and Lucien totally doctored the security footage.
22:32Ivy didn't stand a chance.
22:33Lena's after the money.
22:35The male lead's after the power.
22:36They've both been circling the Vale family this whole time.
22:38Match made in hell.
22:39Pure rage spiked through me.
22:41I slapped Lena across the face hard.
22:43Get out!
22:45Tears sprung instantly from the blow.
22:47Adrian came charging in and pulled Lena behind him.
22:49Mom!
22:49Lena is innocent!
22:50I slapped him right across the face too.
22:52You get out too.
22:56It was the first time I'd ever struck Adrian.
22:59He stared at me, stunned.
23:02Fine!
23:02Ever since she came home, she's the only one you care about.
23:06No matter what she does, you just let her get away with it.
23:09That's not love, that's just spoiling her.
23:11In the end, Adrian stormed out, holding a weeping Lena.
23:14I sank to the floor, completely drained.
23:16Lena's smart.
23:17She knows mom only loves her real daughter, so she locked down Adrian instead.
23:20Well, Adrian is the second lead.
23:22The female lead crooks a finger and he comes running like a puppy.
23:25Adrian's the actual Vale heir.
23:27Mom can favor Ivy all she wants.
23:29The company still goes to the sun in the end.
23:31I clenched my fists, nails biting deep into my palms.
23:34Two days later, wearing a disguise and flanked by bodyguards, I arrived at a luxury hotel.
23:39In the suite, my daughter lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
23:43I came to her bedside.
23:44She glanced at me once, then turned her face away.
23:47The butler hovered, worried sick.
23:49Mrs. Vale, miss hasn't eaten or drank anything in three days.
23:52She won't say a word.
23:53I took her ice-cold hand, my heart aching.
23:56Ivy, you know me a little by now.
23:58Do you really think I'm that kind of person?
24:00When she finally spoke, her voice was low and gravelly, like every word was tearing up her throat.
24:04You're the chairwoman of the Vale group.
24:06How would I know what kind of person you really are?
24:12But I am also a mother.
24:13A knock sounded, the butler opened the door.
24:15Adrian walked in, frowning at me.
24:17Mom, why did you call me all the way out here?
24:19I gave him a flat look.
24:20Sit.
24:21He sat down next to me, clearly unhappy about it.
24:25Simus isn't dead.
24:31My daughter's eyes turned towards me, completely stunned.
24:35What did you say?
24:37I handed her the file forger.
24:38He did get hit, but he only broke two bones in his leg.
24:41I immediately had him transferred to the best rehab center in the state.
24:44I was also the one who told him,
24:46if someone's out to get you, play dead for now.
24:49You've got a good eye for people, by the way.
24:52He's a very sharp kid, knows how to listen.
24:55My daughter flipped through the file again and again,
24:58then looked up at me, eyes shining with gratitude.
25:02Why?
25:03Because of Lena.
25:04I dropped the name slowly, letting it hang in the air.
25:07Adrian sat bolt upright, baffled.
25:09Mom, why are you always going after Lena?
25:10My daughter looked at me, too.
25:13What about Lena?
25:15I am mother to both of you.
25:16I need you to trust every decision I make.
25:19No one on this earth will ever love you more than I do.
25:22Lena is not the innocent girl you think you see.
25:26Ivy, I need you to help me put on a little show.
25:29Adrian, if you still consider me your mother,
25:31then play along and pretend you know nothing.
25:33One week from now, I'll show you both the whole truth.
25:38The next day, one headline swallowed the entire Granceton news cycle.
25:42Missing Vale Harris reunited, then leaps from Cliff over dead lover.
25:46No remains found.
25:47Some mourned for my sake.
25:49Others cursed Ivy for her selfishness.
25:51Offing herself for 18 years, she didn't should a single thun brought home.
25:56And it ends like this.
25:57Meanwhile, I set up a memorial hall in the house and wept through the days.
26:01Lena came to steady me.
26:03Mrs. Vale, you haven't eaten in two days.
26:05At least have some water.
26:07She guided me to the sofa, but my eyes stayed nailed at my daughter's portrait.
26:11Adrian fidgeted on the couch.
26:13Yeah, mom, eat something.
26:15I rest a hand against my forehead and shot him a warning look.
26:19He immediately looked away.
26:23Mom silently wrote in Adrian's terrible acting.
26:26Okay, what is she actually playing at?
26:28I'm genuinely invested now.
26:30Lena had no idea what passed between us.
26:32She sighed and offered comfort.
26:34Mrs. Vale, please don't grieve too hard.
26:36The dead can't come back.
26:37I know Ivy's loved him, but I honestly just can't understand how a guy could mean more to her than
26:41her own mother.
26:43If I had a mother like you, I would thank God every single day.
26:46I pat the back of her hand.
26:49Lena, you've always been so mature about these things.
26:52I turned to Adrian.
26:53Adrian, I'll have the lawyers draft the papers tomorrow.
26:56I'm transferring the company over to you.
27:00Mom, isn't that a little sudden?
27:01I sighed.
27:03You're the only one I have left to rely on.
27:05Then I squeezed Lena's hand.
27:07I know about you and Adrian.
27:08If you two really love each other, let's make it official.
27:11Lena's eyes lit up.
27:13She clutched my hand, practically bouncing.
27:16Thank you, Mrs. Vale.
27:17Only I caught the way the corners of her mouth curled up into a smirk the second she lowered her
27:21head.
27:22One week later, I brought Adrian and my daughter to the hotel.
27:25I took out my phone and cast the screen to the suite's TV.
27:27I told them I'd hidden a microcamera with a live feed right inside Ivy's portrait back in the memorial hall.
27:32Adrian stared at me in shock.
27:34Mom, why would you put a camera in there?
27:36The comments exploded.
27:38What?
27:38She put a camera in the memorial portrait.
27:42But Lena literally invited Lucien to the Vale Ale House today.
27:45I turned the volume up.
27:47So you can see Lena's true colors for yourselves.
27:53I trust Lena.
27:54Adrian crossed his arms.
27:56My daughter spoke quietly, too.
27:57Lena and I grew up together.
27:59I know her.
28:00I said nothing more.
28:01I just watched the screen.
28:03On the screen, Lena walked into the memorial hall and laid a single white rose before Ivy's portrait.
28:07Ivy, no.
28:09Roe.
28:10Growing up together all those years, I really didn't expect you to drop dead this fast.
28:15With you gone, I'm actually going to be a little lonely.
28:17Adrian exhaled in relief.
28:19See, Mom?
28:20You're overthinking it.
28:21Lena's a good person.
28:22My daughter said nothing.
28:23I knew she'd seen what I'd seen.
28:25The expression on Lena's face.
28:26Cold.
28:27Heartless.
28:28Not a single trace of grief.
28:29Then at the edge of the frame, a guy strolled into view, flipping a lighter open and shut.
28:33He leaned against the doorway, watching her with a half-smile.
28:36Lena, too bad there's no one around to clap for you this time.
28:40Is that Lucian?
28:41Adrian frowned hard at the screen.
28:43He whipped around to me.
28:44How does Lina know Lucian?
28:46I didn't answer.
28:47I just gestured at the screen.
28:49Keep watching.
28:49Lucian, light a candle for her at least.
28:52Lena held one out.
28:53Lucian didn't take it.
28:54Instead, he caught her wrist, gripping hard, and pulled her in close.
28:58Lena, I really did underestimate you.
29:01The one who actually killed your dear sister was you.
29:05Take out the boyfriend.
29:07And she wouldn't even want to live anymore.
29:08I've got to hand it to you.
29:10You knew her better than anyone.
29:13My daughter's hand flew to her mouth.
29:15The comments scrolled in a frenzy.
29:17A memorial hall?
29:19These two are actually shameless.
29:20Oh, I get it.
29:22This is the play Mom was staging.
29:24Dying.
29:24The leads walked straight into the trap together.
29:29Meanwhile, Adrian's eyes were glued to the screen, unblinking.
29:32Lena, you are just full of surprises.
29:34On screen, Lena pushed Lucian back a step.
29:38Lucian, you know the risk I took for you.
29:40Don't forget what we agreed on.
29:42Once Adrian takes over the Veil family,
29:44I'll help you quietly gut the Veil group from the inside.
29:47And when that's done, I want 50%.
29:50Lucian tipped her chin up.
29:52That idiot Adrian treats you like a queen.
29:54You're really going to do him like that?
29:56Lina turned away, her voice gone glacial.
29:59If you'd grown up in a house like mine, you'd do the exact same thing.
30:02Now you've really got my attention.
30:03We're cut from the same cloth, you and me.
30:06He leaned in closer.
30:07She stiffened, shooting a panicked glance around the hall.
30:10Are you insane?
30:11This is the Veil house!
30:13Scared?
30:14He murmured, and forced her face back toward the portrait.
30:17I stood and cut the feed.
30:19I think we've seen quite enough.
30:20Adrian had slid to the floor, hollowed out.
30:23This can't be real.
30:24It's not possible.
30:25I sighed.
30:26This isn't your fault.
30:27Adrian, you grew up at my side, and I sheltered you too well.
30:31You've never once seen how ugly people can be.
30:33That's on me.
30:34My daughter stepped forward and took my hand.
30:37It's not your fault, Mom.
30:38It's mine.
30:39I was blind.
30:40Her own misplaced loyalty had carried Lina through the Veil front door and nearly destroyed
30:44us all.
30:46Ivy, you grew up with no mother to shield you.
30:49That's why you grew all those thorns to protect yourself.
30:52That's my failure too.
30:54My eyes went dark.
30:55Lina is young, but she's ruthless.
30:58Even I didn't expect them to be gunning for the entire Veil family.
31:03I made you watch the people closest to you show their true faces today, because I need
31:07you to understand something.
31:09The three of us, and your late father, we are family.
31:12The only real family.
31:13Everyone else?
31:14Doubt them.
31:15Always.
31:19Adrian closed his eyes, then spoke with a sudden edge to his voice.
31:23I get it now, Mom.
31:24From here on out, I will protect you and Ivy.
31:26My daughter burrowed into my arms.
31:27Mom, thank you.
31:29The three of us held each other.
31:30I'm actually crying.
31:31This family is everything.
31:32The romance plot completely derailed into a family plot, and I'm giving it a 10-10 anyway.
31:36First time I've ever genuinely rooted for anyone this hard.
31:39You are not the only one.
31:40We settled on our next move, and returned to the Veil estate.
31:43By the time we got home, Lina had already directed the housekeeper to have dinner ready.
31:47Adrian, you look terrible.
31:48Are you feeling okay?
31:49Lena reached for his forehead, and he flinched away on reflex.
31:52Seeing her confusion on her face, he quickly tried to cover it up.
31:56Long day at the company.
31:57I cleared my throat.
31:58Pull it together.
31:59Honestly, my son could not act to save his life.
32:02Adrian forced a smile at her.
32:04I'm fine, Lina.
32:05She still looked uneasy.
32:07I stepped in with a teasing diversion.
32:09I must say, Lina is doing beautifully.
32:11She already carries herself like the future lady of the Veil house.
32:15Lina blushed.
32:16Mrs. Veil, you're teasing me.
32:18It's just a shame you're still so young.
32:20The actual engagement will have to wait until you graduate college.
32:24Lina smiled sweet as sugar.
32:25Thank you, Mrs. Veil.
32:26I'll work hard in school so I can actually be of help to Adrian someday.
32:30What a good girl.
32:32We went on with dinner.
32:33Then, from outside, the butler's shout split the evening.
32:36Mrs. Veil!
32:37Miss Ivy is back!
32:38My fork clattered to the floor.
32:40What did you just say?
33:08She couldn't remember anything.
33:11Couldn't find her family.
33:13Then I saw her foed on the news and realized she was the Veil daughter, so I brought her home.
33:17I cupped my daughter's face, aching.
33:19You're home.
33:20That's all that matters.
33:22You're home.
33:22She tilted her head, curious.
33:24Who are you?
33:25I wiped my eyes and pointed for her.
33:26I'm your mom.
33:27That's your brother, Adrian.
33:29Your name is Ivy Veil.
33:30You're the only daughter of the Veil family.
33:33Oh.
33:34She nodded as if half understanding.
33:35If I'm the only daughter, then who's she?
33:38Lena forced a stiff smile onto her face.
33:41Ivy, I'm your childhood friend and your brother's girlfriend.
33:44My name is Lena Vos.
33:46My daughter scrunched up her nose.
33:48I don't like you.
33:49You're a bad lady.
33:50The smile drained from Lena's face.
33:52She frowned.
33:53What exactly is going on here?
33:54The fisherman explained.
33:56It's not just the memory loss.
33:57A lot of her reactions are childlike now.
33:59I gathered my daughter into my arms.
34:01No matter what state she's in, she's home.
34:03Thank you for saving her.
34:05The Veil family is forever in your debt.
34:08Butler, please see this gentleman to a guest room so he can rest.
34:11The fisherman accepted a bank card from the butler and left a very happy man.
