00:00Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:36I ignored him, turned off the screen and closed my eyes to rest. Soon the phone started ringing non-stop.
00:44Why aren't you home? Where did you run off to so late? Pick up the phone, Vera. If you don't,
00:49I'll have your ALS sister thrown out of the hospital.
00:52After countless ignored messages and calls, Killian rushed to the hospital in a panic. He knew I would never abandon
00:58my seriously ill older sister, Sarah.
01:00Seeing the empty room, he grabbed a passing nurse.
01:04Where is the patient who was in this bed?
01:05You didn't know? Her condition became critical. The family couldn't gather the rescue funds in time. She's already gone.
01:12Killian froze, his face turning deathly pale. Only then did he remember the phone call from five days ago.
01:18That day, Sella's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. Pregnant and alone in the hospital corridor, I begged
01:24him desperately not to hang up on me.
01:27Killian, please lend me $300,000. This treatment is vital for Sella.
01:32Haven't I told you many times? For urgent money, go to Vanessa.
01:36Would she really not give it to you?
01:37Getting money from Vanessa had always been difficult, but I had no choice but to call her.
01:43$300,000 is not a small number, Vera. Without proper receipts, how can I confirm the money will actually be
01:49used for treatment?
01:50It was a prepayment required by the hospital. The receipts would be issued after discharge.
01:55I'm not doubting you, but I've seen people fake expenses before. As Killian's assistant, I have to protect his interests.
02:00Besides, Killian's rule is that any personal expense over $200 must be reported to him.
02:05Provide the facility's proof first, then I'll submit it.
02:08After I provided the proof, the funds never came. When I called to urge her, she acted surprised.
02:13Oh, Vera, I've been so busy I completely forgot. You won't blame me, right?
02:17Because of that delay, Sarah missed her only matching donor. The doctor said it was her last chance at recovery.
02:23Vanessa had hidden it from him.
02:25When everything was exposed, Killian still protected Vanessa.
02:28Your sister's treatment was paused on my orders. It has nothing to do with Vanessa. She was just carrying out
02:33instructions.
02:34That was the exact moment I asked for a divorce.
02:37Let's get a divorce.
02:39But he had only replied coldly,
02:41Stop causing trouble.
02:42Even while talking to me, Killian's eyes never left his laptop. Clearly, those dry financial reports were far more interesting
02:48than me.
02:49I lowered my gaze, my voice firm.
02:50I'm serious. I want a divorce.
02:53You want a divorce over something so small?
02:55If you hadn't caused a scene at the company a few days ago, I wouldn't have done it.
03:00I've already had your sister's treatment resumed.
03:03I'm very busy and don't have time for your tantrums.
03:06Without waiting for my reply, he turned and left.
03:09He was certain my threat of divorce was just me throwing a fit.
03:12He was certain I would come crawling back soon enough.
03:14But he was wrong.
03:15This time, I meant it.
03:17I stood at the study door and called out to Killian one last time.
03:20Tomorrow at 10 a.m., City Hall.
03:22Killian paused, turning back with cold eyes.
03:25Vera, before you threaten me with divorce, think about who you're relying on to survive.
03:31Your sister still needs money for treatment.
03:34And you're still carrying my child.
03:36Don't paint yourself into a corner.
03:37Just then, his phone rang.
03:39He answered, his voice instantly softening.
03:41Vanessa, it's not your fault.
03:43The rules are mine.
03:44If she wants to blame someone, blame me.
03:47Don't cry.
03:48I'll take you shopping tomorrow.
03:50Buy whatever you want.
03:51I listened to him gently comforting her as sharp pain twisted in my lower abdomen.
03:55These past few days, busy with Sarah's situation, I had forgotten my prenatal checkup.
03:59The next day, Killian did not come to the City Hall.
04:02The message I sent only received a reply at noon.
04:05Busy accompanying Vanessa shopping.
04:07If you really want to divorce, take it to court.
04:09I didn't reply.
04:10I went to the hospital.
04:11Sarah lay in the hospital bed.
04:13Her fingers could barely move anymore.
04:15She was only five years older than me, but chemotherapy had shaved her head and left
04:19her looking exhausted and frail.
04:22Vivi, I don't want treatment anymore.
04:24My eyes instantly reddened.
04:26Sarah, don't say that.
04:28Our parents had passed away early.
04:30She had raised me single-handedly.
04:31She paid for my education.
04:33She shielded me from the world.
04:35When she was still practically a child herself, the doctor pulled me into the corridor.
04:39The situation isn't optimistic.
04:41We can't delay any longer.
04:42Prepare the funds for continued treatment as soon as possible.
04:46I nodded and sold the last partner ring I had on me.
04:48The jeweler inspected it and offered a very low price.
04:51Right after receiving the money, I saw Vanessa's new post.
04:54In the photo, she was holding several luxury bags in front of a mall mirror, smiling sweetly.
04:59Killian says I'm the face of the company.
05:01He insisted on buying these for me.
05:03I stared at it for a long time until the screen went dark.
05:05That afternoon, Vanessa came to the hospital.
05:07Vera, Killian asked me to check whether your sister still needs continued treatment.
05:11After all, money should be spent on worthy people.
05:15I need to reassess this expense.
05:17Before I could speak, Killian walked over from the end of the corridor.
05:20Vanessa is only acting on my instructions.
05:23If you're unhappy, you can tell me directly.
05:26She can buy bags without approval.
05:28But my sister's life-saving treatment needs approval?
05:31She's spending money I'm willing to give.
05:33You're touching funds under Mrs. Name.
05:35It's different in nature.
05:36If you want the money, fill out the application.
05:38Once Vanessa approves it, I will naturally sign off.
05:41I didn't take it.
05:42He glanced at my belly, his tone even colder.
05:45You're still pregnant.
05:47Don't keep dragging the child into your drama.
05:49With that, he prepared to leave with Vanessa.
05:51The next second, the doctor rushed over to me in a panic.
05:54Bad news!
05:54Your sister's condition has suddenly worsened.
05:57She needs emergency surgery immediately.
06:00I waited outside the operating room for three hours.
06:03The doctor finally came out, but his expression remained serious.
06:06We've stabilized her for now, but she can't stop the medication.
06:09She's too weak for any setbacks.
06:11I nodded, my throat painfully dry.
06:13After paying for the medicine with the last of my money,
06:15I went downstairs to buy her lunch.
06:18That was when I saw Killian and Vanessa in the restaurant.
06:20He sat by the window.
06:22Vanessa sat across from him.
06:23The table was full of delicate desserts.
06:25Vanessa saw me first.
06:27She approached with a gentle smile.
06:29Vera, you're here too.
06:31Killian said I've been working hard on company affairs lately,
06:34so he brought me out for a simple meal.
06:36It's all work-related.
06:37Please don't understand.
06:38So not every expense needs your approval.
06:40Vera, don't be sarcastic.
06:41Vanessa has done excellent work recently.
06:43As her boss, treating her to a meal is perfectly fine, isn't it?
06:46No problem.
06:47She's been keeping me on a tight leash for you.
06:50She deserves a reward.
06:51His expression darkened.
06:52I turned and left without another word.
06:55When I returned to the facility,
06:57Sarah was already asleep.
06:58I sat by her bed, looking careworn at her sunken cheeks, my heart aching.
07:02Suddenly, a bright flash lit up the window.
07:04Countless fireworks exploded across the night sky, bathing everything in golden light.
07:09Many people in the hospital stopped to watch.
07:11Who's spending so extravagantly?
07:13Apparently the CEO is rewarding his assistant, Vanessa.
07:16So romantic, and CEO spoiling someone like this is truly rare.
07:19I stood by the window, my fingers turning ice cold.
07:22They were celebrating while Sarah lay in bed, breathing only with the help of machines.
07:26I checked my phone.
07:27Vanessa had just posted a new update.
07:29In the photo, she wore a dazzling diamond necklace that sparkled under the fireworks.
07:34I stared at that necklace for a long time.
07:36It was the exact style I had admired last month.
07:38I had lingered in front of the display case.
07:41Killian had said indifferently.
07:42Items like this require approval, not necessary.
07:45So it wasn't that it wasn't necessary.
07:47Approval is only required when it's issued to me.
07:50After staring for a while, I liked the post.
07:52Less than a minute later, Killian called.
07:55You liked it.
07:55So don't unlike it.
07:56Otherwise, people will misunderstand Vanessa.
07:59Leave a comment praising her hard work lately.
08:01Call it encouragement from both of us.
08:03I thought for a moment.
08:04Opened the comment box and typed,
08:06Vanessa, you've worked so hard.
08:08You even get to wear what Mrs. can't.
08:10After sending it, I turned off my phone.
08:12Soon, Killian called again.
08:14I walked into the corridor to answer.
08:16On the other end came the sound of Vanessa crying.
08:19Vera, I really didn't...
08:20You liked that necklace too.
08:22I just thought it would be rude to refuse CEO's kindness.
08:25Why would you comment like that?
08:27How am I supposed to face everyone now?
08:29Killian's voice was cold.
08:31Vera, do you know how many people in the company are already understanding her because of you?
08:34How is she supposed to hold her head high after this?
08:36That just means not everyone in the company is blind.
08:39His breathing grew heavy.
08:40When did you get so sharp, Tom?
08:42Vanessa worked hard to get here.
08:44You do nothing, live off me, and still try to humiliate a working woman?
08:48I was about to reply.
08:49Then Sarah's monitor glared.
08:51I sensed something was wrong and rushed into the room.
08:54A group of doctors and nurses were crowded around the bed.
08:57Sarah's face was deathly pale.
08:59The oxygen tube had been pulled out and lay beside her.
09:02The patient pulled out her own oxygen tube.
09:04We're trying to resuscitate her.
09:12Sarah, how could you be so foolish?
09:15Baby, don't cry.
09:17I don't want treatment anymore.
09:18It's too painful.
09:20I heard your phone call with Killian earlier.
09:23Don't spend any more money.
09:25I don't want to drag you down anymore.
09:28I shook my head desperately, choking on tears.
09:31I won't let you give up.
09:33Don't worry about the money.
09:34I will make sure you get better.
09:36My hands trembled as I dialed Killian's number.
09:39When the call connected, it was Vanessa's voice that answered.
09:41Asking for money again?
09:43Vera, when you were humiliating me online earlier, did you think about this moment?
09:48Come here right now.
09:49Kneel down and apologize properly.
09:51Maybe then I'll consider it.
09:53Vanessa is right, Vera.
09:54This is what you owe her.
09:56At the same time, the doctor looked at me with sorrowful eyes.
10:01Miss Vera, please accept my condolences.
10:04My mind went completely blank.
10:05A wave of grief made me nauseous.
10:07I forced myself toward the restroom.
10:09Just before I reached it, a strong shoulder slammed into me.
10:12I was knocked straight into the corner.
10:14A sharp, tearing pain exploded in my lower abdomen.
10:17A nurse rushed over to support me.
10:19You're pregnant?
10:20I nodded numbly.
10:21The world spun and went black.
10:26When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed.
10:29The doctor stood beside me, his expression complicated.
10:32I'm sorry.
10:33We couldn't save the child.
10:36Should we notify the family?
10:38I laughed bitterly and shook my head.
10:40We have no family.
10:40My only family member had already left this world.
10:43Mrs. Vera, your phone kept ringing while you were unconscious.
10:47I took the phone.
10:48There were more than a dozen missed calls from Killian.
10:51Then a new message popped up.
10:53Vera, I've been waiting for you for five hours.
10:56If you don't come apologize soon, your sister's treatment fees will be rejected according to
11:00procedure.
11:02Looking at those words, I felt nothing but numbness.
11:05I didn't reply.
11:06I got out of bed, packed the miscarriage records, and sent them to Killian as my final goodbye.
11:11Then I bought a ticket and left the city.
11:13On the other side, Killian finally realized something was wrong by evening.
11:17He sent people to search for me at the hospital.
11:20Before he received any news, his assistant rushed in anxiously.
11:26Killian opened the box.
11:27The moment he saw what was inside, all color drained from his face.
11:36Killian stared at the box for a long time.
11:38Then he let out a cold laugh.
11:40Vera, is this your idea of a sick joke?
11:42He slammed his hand on the desk, veins bulging on his forehead.
11:45He refused to believe Vera would actually go this far.
11:48This had to be another one of her desperate schemes to force him to compromise.
11:52He dug deeper into the box and found the papers underneath.
11:55It was the official divorce document, clearly signed with Vera's name.
11:59The assistant stood beside him, too afraid to speak.
12:02Vanessa heard the commotion and came in from the next room.
12:04She saw what was inside and panicked, then quickly masked it with concern.
12:09CEO, is Vera playing hard to get again?
12:12Don't let her scare you.
12:13She's just trying to force you to come back to her.
12:16Her words gave Killian an excuse.
12:17He tossed the documents back into the box, his voice cold.
12:20She knows I won't abandon my own child.
12:22That's why she dares to pull stunts like this.
12:24Vanessa lowered her eyes.
12:25But Vera seems emotionally unstable right now.
12:28Should I go explain things to her?
12:30No need.
12:31Let her calm down if that's what she wants.
12:33He sounded confident, but his eyes kept drifting back to the dissolution papers.
12:37A strange irritation rose in his chest.
12:39He picked up his phone and opened his chat with Vera.
12:42The last message was still the one he had sent.
12:44No reply.
12:45He waited all afternoon, from evening until night fell.
12:48Vera never replied or called begging for forgiveness.
12:51Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and dialed Vera's number again.
12:55It was switched off.
12:57Killian shot to his feet.
12:59Have you found her yet?
13:00The assistant pushed open the door.
13:02His face...
13:03CEO, we have news from the hospital.
13:05Killian's heart tightened.
13:06Is Vera there?
13:07Not Vera.
13:08It's Vera's older sister, Sarah.
13:11She has already passed away.
13:13Killian rushed to the hospital.
13:14The corridor lights were already on.
13:16He walked quickly.
13:17His assistant struggled to keep up behind him.
13:19But the moment he pushed open the door to the room, he stopped dead.
13:23The bed was empty.
13:24The sheets were neatly made.
13:26Killian stood in the doorway, his throat tightening.
13:29He grabbed a passing nurse.
13:31Where is the patient who was in this bed?
13:33The nurse looked shocked.
13:33You didn't know?
13:34Her condition became critical.
13:37The family couldn't gather the rescue funds in time.
13:39She's already gone.
13:40Are you Miss Vera's family?
13:42Killian answered almost instinctively.
13:43I am her partner.
13:44The nurse's expression became complicated.
13:46Mrs. Vera handled her sister's funeral arrangements alone.
13:49When she left, she looked terrible.
13:51We tried to convince her to rest, but she wouldn't listen.
13:54Killian's fingers stiffened.
13:56Where did she go?
13:56She didn't say.
13:58Killian's face finally changed.
14:00He took out his phone and called Vera again.
14:03Still switched off, he suddenly remembered the past.
14:05No matter how late he returned, Vera would always wait for him.
14:09So he had always believed she would never leave.
14:11But now the room was empty.
14:13Sarah was gone.
14:14Vera had lost the last person in this world who could make her turn back.
14:17Killian felt as if something was crushing his chest, making it hard to breathe.
14:21He turned around sharply.
14:22Search!
14:23Check her tickets, possible residences, anywhere she might use her ID.
14:27She's still pregnant, not in good health.
14:28She couldn't have gone far alone.
14:29As soon as the words left his mouth, he froze.
14:32Pregnant, what if something had happened to the child?
14:35Sarah was already dead.
14:36What if the child really couldn't be saved?
14:39At that moment, Vanessa hurried over, her eyes red as if she had been crying.
14:43Kilton, I just heard the news.
14:45Why would Vera be so impulsive?
14:47If she needed money, she could have just said so properly.
14:50Why did she have to run away in a fit of anger?
14:53What if something happens to child?
14:55From the end of the corridor, the doctor approached with the medical records.
14:58He looked at Killian, then at Vanessa.
15:01Which one of you is Mrs. Vera's family?
15:02Killian stepped forward immediately.
15:05I am.
15:06The doctor frowned slightly, his tone hesitant.
15:09Since you're her family, there's something you should know.
15:13Before Mrs. Vera left, she was knocked down hard in the corridor.
15:17The child could not be saved.
15:21As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Killian couldn't hold himself together.
15:24He suddenly thought of what Vera had sent.
15:27The one in that box.
15:29Oh no.
15:30How could this be?
15:33One year later, I started a new life in a small town far away from Killian.
15:37I found a job as a clerk in a small company.
15:39The salary wasn't high, but it was paid on time every month.
15:42Rent, utilities, and food were all arranged by me.
15:45I rented a small apartment.
15:46It wasn't big.
15:47The balcony could only fit a small table and two potted plants.
15:51Every morning, sunlight slipped through the curtains.
15:53I loved it there.
15:54In the past, in the Grand Company headquarters, I lived in a spacious house, my closet full of
15:59expensive clothes, and the dining table always had exquisite meals.
16:03But none of it had ever felt like it truly belonged to me.
16:06Every expense required someone else's approval.
16:08Every request was scrutinized.
16:10I had lived in a beautiful cage.
16:12Now this small apartment was ordinary.
16:14Children played noisily downstairs at night, and the smell of food from the neighbors sometimes
16:19drifted in.
16:20But I was the one who closed the door.
16:22I was the one who turned on the lights.
16:24Everything in the fridge was bought with my own money.
16:26I no longer had to explain to anyone why I was spending that money.
16:30I no longer had to wait for anyone's belated mercy.
16:32For a long time after Sarah passed, I couldn't sleep well.
16:35I often dreamed of her lying in the hospital bed, reaching out to stroke my head and saying,
16:40Baby, don't be afraid.
16:42I would wake up with a wet pillow.
16:43Later, I kept myself busy.
16:45Working, overtime, learning to cook, tidying the house.
16:48On weekends when the weather was good, I would take a long bus ride to the riverside for a walk.
16:52I broke my days into small pieces.
16:54Eat on time today.
16:56Water the plants tomorrow.
16:57The day after when I get paid by myself something inexpensive but nice.
17:01That was how I slowly survived.
17:02I thought Killian would never find me again.
17:04Or even if he did, I no longer cared.
17:06Until that day after work.
17:08The sky had just darkened.
17:10People were coming and going outside the office building.
17:12I walked out holding a file bag, checking the bus schedule on my phone,
17:16when I heard a familiar voice.
17:18Vera.
17:19Familiar enough that even after a year, I could still tear open the scab I had worked so hard to
17:23form.
17:24I looked up.
17:25Killian stood by the roadside.
17:27He had lost a lot of weight.
17:28The suit that used to fit him perfectly now looked a little loose on him.
17:32There were heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his jawline was sharper than I remembered.
17:36He looked at me, his eyes swirling with emotions I couldn't read.
17:39I stopped walking.
17:40I didn't hide or run.
17:42I just looked at him calmly.
17:43Killian took a step forward.
17:44His voice hoarse.
17:46Vivi.
17:47I frowned.
17:47That nickname.
17:48Only Sarah had ever called me that.
17:50Hearing it from his mouth felt strangely foreign.
17:53He seemed to sense my resistance and stopped.
17:55His throat bobbing.
17:57I'm sorry.
17:58I remained silent.
17:59He stood in front of me as if he had rehearsed this many times,
18:02but when he actually saw me, only dry words came out.
18:05I've been looking for you this whole year.
18:07I know I was wrong before.
18:08About your sister.
18:09I didn't handle it well.
18:11About the child.
18:12I owe you.
18:13By the time he finished, his eyes were red.
18:15If this had been a year ago, I might have softened at his belated guilt.
18:18But now, I only felt tired.
18:20People walked past us.
18:21Some cast curious glances before moving on.
18:24I sorted out the file bag in my hand and asked.
18:27Are you done?
18:27Killian's face turned pale.
18:29Vera, I'm not here to force you.
18:30I just want to make it up to you.
18:32You don't have to bow for money anymore.
18:33I can give you anything.
18:35Homes, savings, even help you start a business.
18:38And Sarah's unfinished treatment.
18:40If you want, I'll set up a fund in her name to help others like her.
18:43He looked at me with almost humble hope in his eyes.
18:45As long as you're willing to come back.
18:47I listened and suddenly found it absurd.
18:49A year ago, I had begged him for that $300,000.
18:52I had begged so humbly in the hospital, holding the phone with a trembling voice.
18:56At that time, Sarah was still alive.
18:58The child was still there.
18:59I only asked him to help me once.
19:01But he told me to go to Vanessa.
19:03To fill out forms.
19:04To go through approval later, I lost everything.
19:06And now he stood here.
19:08Casually telling me he could give me houses, properties, funds.
19:11I lowered my head and smiled.
19:13Killian seemed stung by my smile.
19:15His voice grew softer.
19:16Vera, I know you hate me.
19:18And you have every right.
19:22Curse me if you want.
19:24Make me atone however you wish.
19:27Vanessa won't interfere anymore.
19:28I've removed her from key positions.
19:31From now on, you'll manage the household finances.
19:34He spoke very seriously.
19:36As if handing over the money could erase all the past pain.
19:38I looked up at him.
19:40Kilvan, you still don't understand.
19:42He froze.
19:43What truly broke me wasn't that you refused to give the money.
19:46Then what was it?
19:47It was you making me go to Vanessa for approval.
19:50The wind blew from the street corner, carrying a chill.
19:52I looked it at him.
19:53My voice calm in a way that surprised even me.
19:56Sarah was in the facility.
19:58The doctor said we couldn't wait.
20:00I was pregnant and broke, so I called you.
20:03But you sent me to Vanessa.
20:04She decided if my sister got her medication.
20:07She decided if I got the money to save her.
20:10And you?
20:11You knew all this, yet you thought it was just the rules.
20:13I didn't know she would-
20:14You did know.
20:15I cut him off.
20:15He stiffened.
20:16You didn't think it mattered, Killian.
20:17You let another woman decide my life.
20:20From that moment, I wasn't your partner.
20:22Just an outsider begging for scraps.
20:24Killian's face drained of all color.
20:26He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
20:29I suddenly remembered that form.
20:31If you want the money, fill out the application.
20:33Once Vanessa approves it, I will naturally sign off.
20:36That scene would stay with me for the rest of my life.
20:39I had loved him so much.
20:40Loved him enough to give up everything.
20:42To learn how to be a proper missus.
20:44To shrink my entire world to fit beside him.
20:47But he had personally taught me that love without dignity was more terrifying than poverty.
20:51Killian's eyes reddened.
20:52His voice almost shaking.
20:54Vera, I really know I was wrong.
20:56Can you give me one more chance?
20:57I won't let you suffer like that again.
20:59I shook my head.
21:00It's too late.
21:01He stepped forward.
21:03It's not too late.
21:04I stepped back avoiding his outstretched hand.
21:07His hand froze in midair.
21:09I looked at that hand.
21:10In the past I had desperately hoped he would hold mine just once.
21:14When Vanessa made things difficult for me.
21:16When I stood helplessly at the payment window in the facility.
21:19When Sarah was in critical condition.
21:21But he never did.
21:22Now I no longer needed it.
21:24Kill them.
21:25I'm doing very well now.
21:27How is this kind of life good?
21:29You live in such a small apartment.
21:31Squeeze onto the bus.
21:33Eat convenience store food.
21:35And work overtime until this late.
21:37But these are all choices I made myself.
21:40I live in a small apartment because I can afford the rent.
21:44I take the bus because I'm willing to wait.
21:47Whatever I eat or buy, I don't need anyone's approval.
21:51I no longer have to watch Vanessa's expression or wait for your sudden mercy.
21:55You think this is bad but to me?
21:57This is freedom.
21:59Killian's eyes gradually shattered.
22:01After a long time, he asked in a low voice.
22:04What about me?
22:05I looked at him.
22:06You are also the part of my freedom that I had to throw away.
22:09His body swayed.
22:10I stopped looking autumn at him and walked around him toward the bus stop.
22:14Behind me came his suppressed voice.
22:17Vera, I won't give up.
22:18I didn't stop.
22:19Do as you wish.
22:21The bus arrived right on time.
22:23I got on.
22:24Tapped my card and found a seat by the window.
22:26As the bus started moving, I saw Killian still standing there.
22:30The streetlights cast a long shadow behind him.
22:32I looked away.
22:33My phone vibrated.
22:35It was a message from a colleague asking if I had brought the partnerials for tomorrow's
22:39morning meeting.
22:39I replied, I have them.
22:41Then I put the phone back in my bag.
22:43The lights outside the window flowed slowly.
22:45I leaned back in my seat and let out a long breath.
22:48My heart, once racing at his name, finally stilled.
22:52I thought I would hate him.
22:53But it turned out that even hatred could fade one day.
22:56On the other side.
22:58Vanessa sat in the apartment.
22:59Killian had arranged for her.
23:01Scrolling through photos on her phone.
23:03They had been sent to her by someone else.
23:06In the photos, Killian stood outside an unfamiliar office building, talking to me in a low voice.
23:11The way he looked at me was something Vanessa had never seen before.
23:14Full of desperation and obsession, Vanessa's fingers tightened around the phone until her
23:19knuckles turned white.
23:20When the screen went dark, it reflected her pale, twisted face.
23:24She had thought that once Vera was gone, everything would belong to her.
23:28But a year had passed, and Killian had not made her his missus.
23:31He no longer indulged her the way he used to.
23:34Now, he had even gone to find Vera in person.
23:38Vanessa gritted her teeth.
23:40Hatred slowly rose in eyes.
23:41She could not let Vera come back.
23:43She could not lose her last bargaining chip.
23:45A long time later, she dialed a number.
23:49Help me find out where Vera is living now.
23:52The next afternoon, Vanessa came to my company.
23:54The front desk called upstairs saying a lady named Vanessa was looking for me.
23:58I went down to the reception area and saw her sitting on the sofa, perfectly made up,
24:02with a beautifully wrapped gift bag beside her.
24:04One year apart, and she still had that delicate, harmless appearance.
24:07When she saw me, she immediately stood up, her eyes slightly red.
24:12Vera, I came to apologize to you.
24:15Colleagues nearby had already started looking over.
24:17I said calmly,
24:18This isn't a convenient place to discuss private matter.
24:20Vanessa acted as if she hadn't heard, her voice softer but clearer.
24:23I didn't understand your relationship with Killian.
24:26I really didn't know that your marriage hadn't been officially dissolved yet.
24:29The colleagues' gazes instantly changed.
24:31Someone started whispering.
24:33Vanessa, you don't need to act.
24:36Her face paled, and tears immediately fell.
24:40Miss Avera, why are you still like this?
24:42I used to come lightly my head.
24:43This is my compensation gift to you.
24:45I know you're not doing well right now, and I know Killian has been looking for you lately.
24:50But matters of the heart always have an order of arrival, right?
24:53As soon as those words landed, the entire area fell silent.
24:56I finally understood why she had come today.
24:58She wasn't here to apologize.
25:00She came to paint me as a homewrecker who climbed by relying on a man.
25:03I didn't take the bag.
25:04Take your gift and leave.
25:06Vanessa bit her lip.
25:07Suddenly she lowered her voice so only I could hear.
25:11Vera, do you really think Killian is looking for you because he still loves you?
25:15He's only feeling guilty.
25:17Once that guilt fades, you'll be abandoned again.
25:20I looked at her and only felt it was ridiculous.
25:22Then you should go find him, not me.
25:24Her eyes flashed with malice.
25:26The next second she suddenly grabbed my wrist.
25:28I frowned and shook her off.
25:30The movement wasn't strong, but she staggered back as if I had pushed her hard,
25:33crashing into the edge of the coffee table and falling to the floor.
