00:00When I returned to my biological parents' home, the two of them were busy soothing the crying fake daughter.
00:05Your sister is innocent.
00:07We spoiled her rotten, so you need to be the bigger person.
00:10We brought you back from that godforsaken place.
00:12You should be grateful.
00:14They probably thought I would fall to my knees in gratitude, begging them to spare me a single glance.
00:18But I simply looked toward the armored luxury carriage waiting at the gate.
00:22Please.
00:23My adoptive mother is the true shadow duchess of the royal capital's underworld.
00:26I stepped down from a cargo wagon, the cuffs were frayed from years of archery practice on the hunting grounds.
00:32The butler, Charles, frowned at my mud-caked riding boots.
00:36Don't bother.
00:36I lifted my foot and scraped the mud off against the manicured lawn.
00:40Charles froze on the spot.
00:42Before I came to the royal capital, my adoptive mother Olivia had told me about the Wilson family.
00:47Ten years ago, Richard Wilson stumbled upon a connection to the noble senate through a territory development deal in the
00:53lower city.
00:53Overnight, he struck it rich and transformed into new money in the inner city.
00:58The moment I stepped into the drawing room, I heard sobbing.
01:01A girl was draped dramatically in Natalie Wilson's arms, weeping.
01:05Richard Wilson rose from his armchair.
01:07Chloe.
01:08The girl lifted her head from Natalie's embrace at the sound of my name.
01:12She glanced at me, feigned a fright, and collapsed limply back into Natalie's arms.
01:17Lilith!
01:18Lilith!
01:19Lilith, don't scare mother like that!
01:20The entire drawing room descended into chaos.
01:24Richard stood rooted in place, looking from Lilith on the chaise to me, then back again.
01:28His face was a mask of feigned consternation.
01:31I stood there with my pack slung over one shoulder, watching the spectacle with cold detachment.
01:36Mother, now that sister is back, are you going to abandon me?
01:41Nonsense!
01:42You will always be mother's precious darling.
01:45This will always be your home!
01:47Richard walked over and patted Lilith on the shoulder.
01:49Lilith, stop crying.
01:51It's a good thing that your sister made it back from the depths of the black theorist.
01:55I remained standing at the doorway, watching.
01:57Once they had finished their little performance, Charles finally acknowledged my presence as if he had just noticed me.
02:04Miss Chloe, please, have a seat.
02:07Natalie finally managed to soothe her precious daughter.
02:10Lilith looked up at me, her eyes red-rimmed.
02:12Chloe, you must be exhausted from the journey.
02:16My voice was flat.
02:19It was fine.
02:23We've prepared everything for you.
02:25Your room is at the end of the East Corridor on the second floor.
02:28See if there's anything you need, and we'll buy it for you.
02:31Thank you.
02:33Chloe, are you hungry?
02:34Should I have the kitchen prepare you a roast meat roll?
02:38It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
02:40I had departed at 10 in the morning.
02:42Not a single person had offered me a drop of water along the way.
02:46No need.
02:46She probably hadn't expected things to be so calm.
02:49There are 500 silver coins here.
02:51Get yourself some daily necessities.
02:53500 silver coins?
02:54This amount warrants a formal contract?
02:56When Olivia gives me pocket money, she just signs over the rental rights to an entire street.
03:02I didn't reach out to take it.
03:03This pittance wouldn't even cover a few of the custom bolts for my concealed hand crossbow.
03:08You need some money on you.
03:10It's not that we're stingy.
03:11We're just worried you might not adjust all at once.
03:14That gem-studded bracelet on her wrist was worth at least 70 or 80,000 silver coins.
03:18The dress she wore today was a custom-made silk gown.
03:21Lilith has been raised with our love and affection since she was little.
03:26All these things she has now, you'll gradually have them too.
03:29What?
03:30Is it not enough?
03:31I said nothing.
03:32He sighed.
03:33Chloe, Lilith grew up in this household.
03:35You just got back, and there are many rules you don't understand yet.
03:39You can't just start comparing yourself to her right away.
03:41Take these 500 silver coins and get yourself settled first.
03:44As long as you behave and listen, this family won't treat you badly in the future.
03:49It never crossed his mind that I didn't need any of it at all.
03:53I reached out and picked up the promissory note.
03:56Fine.
03:57Thank you.
03:58Sister, mother and father are only thinking of your best interests.
04:01If you'd like, you can come to my wardrobe later and pick out a few dresses I don't wear anymore.
04:05I'll give them to you.
04:06All right, all right.
04:07Chloe just got back.
04:08Let her go to her room and rest.
04:10I nodded and went upstairs.
04:11They weren't stupid enough to put me in a servant's quarters.
04:14But it was nothing impressive either.
04:17I walked to the bed and tossed my pack onto the floor.
04:19From my pocket, I pulled out a custom-made arcane communication scroll.
04:23I unfurled the scroll and glanced at the transmission sigil at the top.
04:27It was a message from Olivia.
04:29I've finished dealing with those rats in the Northern Territories.
04:32I'll return to the royal capital to see you shortly.
04:35I picked up a quill and quickly wrote a reply.
04:37Waiting for you, mother.
04:40Before dinner, Lilith changed into yet another new outfit.
04:43Mother, doesn't it look beautiful?
04:48Beautiful, beautiful.
04:50My darling looks beautiful in everything.
04:53Then she turned her head.
04:54What do you think?
04:56It looks nice.
04:57Father had this dress specially brought back from a tailor shop during his layings of trip to Florence months.
05:02They say it's a Quojibe limited edition.
05:04The one a capital, Dave and Tadepa that.
05:06Father says girls should wear only the very best.
05:09Seeing no trace of envy on my face, she seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
05:14Martha, go fetch my sheet music.
05:16Moments later, Martha returned carrying the harpsichord sheet music.
05:20Lilith rose to her feet and walked over to me.
05:24Sister, did you ever see a real court harpsichord in the Black Forest?
05:29Let me take you to the music room.
05:31I'll play a piece for you.
05:33As she spoke, she reached out her hand.
05:35Next month, there's a court mystical selection in the core territory.
05:39My teacher insists I must practice at least three hours every day.
05:43Father specifically enrolled me in the royal court musician program for this selection.
05:47Mage lesson costs 3,000 yin coins and it's one-on-one instruction.
05:50My teacher says I have musical talent.
05:52As long as I practice diligently, I'll be able to hold a special performance at the king's banquet.
05:56Sister, when you were growing up in the Black Forest, did you learn any musical instruments?
06:01No.
06:02Then can you dance court dances or do embroidery?
06:06No.
06:07Then what did you learn every day back in those mountains?
06:12I thought for a moment.
06:14The curriculum Olivia had arranged for me was indeed quite packed.
06:17The covert transfer of territory tax revenues,
06:20the shorting and sabotage of rival lords' trade routes,
06:23and how to disassemble and reassemble various military-grade heavy crossbows within one minute,
06:28as well as how to determine if an opponent is lying through their micro-expressions.
06:32Studying.
06:33I looked at her face.
06:36After all, for someone like you,
06:39only by studying hard could you ever crawl out of that backwater mountain disc.
06:43Sister, you're so lucky.
06:44Now you don't have to rely on yourself.
06:46You can just lounge around in a royal capital estate.
06:48I'm not so fortunate.
06:49I'm so busy every single day.
06:51I have to practice piano, learn dancing, take socialist etiquette lessons,
06:54and study ancient languages.
06:55I feel like 24 hours a day is simply not enough.
06:58Mother has always taught me that girls in high society must be well-rounded.
07:02They can't just bury their noses in books.
07:06Don't you agree, sister?
07:08Mm-hmm.
07:08You're busy.
07:09She glanced at me, probably felt my response was too indifferent.
07:13Then I'll go practice piano now.
07:14Father said that if I win first place at next week's selection,
07:18he'll buy me that royal ruby necklace I've had my eye on.
07:21Oh, by the way, sister,
07:23you should sign up for some classes too when you have time.
07:26Even just learning flower-nating will need something.
07:29Otherwise, when we take you to banquets in the future,
07:32you won't even know how to hold a knife and fork.
07:34I closed my eyes,
07:35no longer willing to engage with this idiot.
07:38Dinner finally began.
07:39I took a bite of the truffle roast on my plate.
07:42Compared to the skills of the Brown family estate's head chef,
07:45it was vastly inferior.
07:47Chloe, father has something important to discuss with you.
07:50What is it?
07:51Father has a business associate.
07:53He's doing territory expansion in the lower city.
07:55His son is two years older than you.
07:57He just returned from studying at a Western monastery.
08:00The young man is quite decent,
08:01and his family's circumstances are very substantial.
08:04I'll arrange for you two to meet one of these days.
08:06My knife paused mid-cut through the roast.
08:08Richard smiled, his tone casual and dismissive.
08:11Meet.
08:12Meet for what?
08:14Just young people getting to know each other.
08:16Have a meal together, share a mug of ale.
08:19And then?
08:20And then, if you find each other agreeable,
08:22you can spend some time together and cultivate a relationship.
08:24You want me to go on a blind date?
08:26Chloe, don't make it sound so crude.
08:28This is called a business alliance through marriage.
08:30Our two families joining forces
08:32would bring enormous benefits to both sides' business.
08:35I cut him off coldly.
08:36I'm only 19.
08:37I didn't say the second half of my thought.
08:39What's wrong with 19?
08:40In our circles, getting engaged early is perfectly normal.
08:44It's not like we're asking you to get married at the cathedral tomorrow.
08:47It's just getting it settled in advance.
08:50Yes, Chloe.
08:51Mother has met that boy.
08:52He's very handsome and talented.
08:54Their family is quite prominent in the lower city.
08:56They also have deep cooperation with our family on port tax revenues.
09:00Once you marry into that family,
09:01you'll be a wealthy lady,
09:03never wanting for food or clothing for the rest of your life.
09:05I curled my lips into a cold sneer.
09:09So, the grand effort you went through to bring me back to the royal capital was all for this?
09:14Richard's face instantly darkened.
09:17What is that supposed to mean?
09:20I'm asking you.
09:21Before you brought me back,
09:23had you already calculated this scheme?
09:24How dare you speak to your elders like that?
09:27Bring back a biological daughter,
09:29feed her scripts for a few days,
09:30then marry her off in exchange for a hethy business capital implect.
09:33No matter how you calculate it,
09:34it's a guaranteed profit.
09:35You truly live up to the nouveau Roche reputation, Mr. Richard.
09:39Chloe!
09:39Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
09:41I stared him down without flinching.
09:44Richard Wilson,
09:45aside from that sliver of blood relation,
09:47we are complete strangers.
09:50What airs are you putting on in front of me?
09:52Sister, how can you speak to mother and father like that?
09:54Lilith's eyes reddened from the side.
09:57They went to great lengths to find you a good family.
10:00It's all for your future well-being.
10:02My icy gaze locking onto her.
10:04Shut your mouth.
10:05Lilith's tears immediately burst forth.
10:07Father, look at sister.
10:09Look at yourself.
10:10Look at how you're behaving.
10:12He pointed at my nose and roared.
10:14You've barely been in this house for half a day.
10:16You're already flipping tables and defying your parents.
10:19A wild brat raised in the countryside truly has no manners.
10:23We brought you back from that wretched place.
10:26Gave you a mansion to live in and servants to wait on you.
10:29And this is how you repay us?
10:31Ungrateful and heartless.
10:32You don't know what's good for you.
10:33The Wilson family provides you with food and clothing.
10:36Isn't it only natural for you to contribute a little to the family business?
10:40I watched him with cold eyes.
10:42Selling your daughter is selling your daughter.
10:44Don't dress it up with such noble-sounding words.
10:47Sister, why are you so cruel with your words?
10:50You're so immature.
10:52I told you a moment ago.
10:54Shut your mouth.
10:56Mother, I'm scared.
10:58Chloe!
10:59Your sister hasn't done anything wrong.
11:01Why are you taking your anger out on her?
11:03What a joke.
11:04Enough!
11:05Let me tell you something, Chloe.
11:07This household is not a place for you to throw tantrums.
11:10If you still want to acknowledge us as your parents, then behave yourself and listen.
11:15If you refuse to acknowledge us, then get the hell out right now!
11:19Fine.
11:20I'll leave.
11:21Without a moment's hesitation, I pushed back my chair and turned to walk out.
11:25Richard stared at my resolute back, frozen on the spot.
11:28At the foyer, I turned back to look at them.
11:31However, I want you to be clear about one thing.
11:34It's not that you're throwing me out.
11:37It's that I find it sickening to be in this house.
11:41Chloe!
11:42Your father was just speaking in anger!
11:44Don't be rash!
11:45I cast a cold sneer at Richard.
11:48You went to so much trouble to bring me back.
11:50I imagine that son of the Lower City Territory developer is a notorious scumbag in your circles,
11:55isn't he?
11:56You can't bear to let your precious daughter Lilith marry into that misery.
11:59But you still want that capital intusion.
12:02So you remembered me, the daughter you abandoned in the Black Forest for over a decade.
12:06If that man were even remotely decent, you would never have sent anyone to fetch me, right?
12:10A deftly silence fell over the drawing room.
12:12I turned and strode toward the door.
12:14Behind me came the sound of hurried footsteps and Natalie's frantic cries.
12:19Chloe!
12:20Where are you going?
12:21It's already dark outside!
12:25I walked to the front gate of the estate.
12:28The door was pushed open.
12:29Outside stood ten fully armored black carriages in a row.
12:32What are you still standing there for?
12:34Weren't you going to leave?
12:35L-Lady Brown!
12:37What brings you here so suddenly?
12:39Why didn't you have your assistant notified us before your arrival?
12:43I could have had Charles go to the street corner to welcome you in advance!
12:47What are you still standing there like an idiot for?
12:49Get back to your room right now!
12:51I didn't move.
12:52Did you hear me?
12:53Get upstairs now!
12:55Don't be a nuisance here!
12:56I remained where I was, my gaze moving past him to the woman walking toward me.
13:00Richard's face completely fell.
13:02Are you deaf?
13:03This is the most esteemed guest in the royal capital.
13:06Standing here dressed like a beggar.
13:08Are you trying to ruin my livelihood?
13:10Natalie had also chased after me by this point.
13:14Darling, who is this?
13:15This is the head of the Brown family, Lady Olivia Brown!
13:19Lady Brown, please do come in!
13:21Our humble home is utterly honored by your presence.
13:23Olivia still didn't look at either of them.
13:26She walked up to me, her gaze softening.
13:30Chloe, come.
13:31Mother is here to take you home.
13:33Olivia raised her hand and adjusted my collar for me.
13:38Lady Brown, what did you just call her?
13:42Olivia cast him a cold glance.
13:45She is my daughter.
13:47Olivia's daughter.
13:50Lady Brown, you must surely be joking, right?
13:52This girl is my own biological daughter whom I just brought back from the mountains.
13:55How could she possibly be your esteemed daughter?
13:58You are worthy to call yourself my daughter's father?
14:01In crumbling shop in the brink of bankruptcy, is fit to raise the heiress of the Brown family?
14:05With that, Olivia turned and took my hand.
14:07Chloe, let's go home.
14:09I walked out of the manor.
14:11The carriage rolled smoothly along the Capitol streets.
14:14In three days, the Brown family will host a grand public banquet to announce your status as the heiress.
14:21I want the entire Royal Capitol to know that you are my sole heir.
14:26Thank you, Mother.
14:28As for Richard, I'll have all Capitol chains of his Chamber of Commerce cut off immediately.
14:33I paused for a moment, then spoke.
14:38There's no need for you to trouble yourself targeting the mother.
14:42A man like Richard will never just watch himself lose all his value.
14:45He's in debt now, his shockwave crumbling.
14:47He'll definitely get desperate and do something rash.
14:49On the day of the banquet, he won't just come.
14:51He'll try to the way to drag me down with him.
14:53Indeed.
14:53That kind of despicable nature is etched into their very bones.
14:56That's precisely why I've instructed the guards to leave a side door open for them.
15:00I want them to come offering their faces up so you can slap them thoroughly.
15:04Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
15:07The Brown family estate was brilliantly lit, with nearly every noble and dignitary in the
15:11Capitol turning out in full force.
15:13The security level was raised to the maximum.
15:15Only at the side door did the guards deliberately allow the Richard family to pass through.
15:19I spotted the Richard family shrinking on the fringes of the crowd.
15:23They stood inside the banquet hall.
15:24Richard tried to toast an earl, only to be coldly brushed off by the other party.
15:29Natalie stood to the side, looking utterly awkward.
15:31Lilith, meanwhile, was looking around everywhere.
15:35They came, just as expected.
15:38Richard's chamber of commerce was on the verge of collapse.
15:41Tonight was their only lifeline.
15:43As long as they could leverage the title of the biological parents of the Brown family heiress,
15:47they could re-establish themselves in the Capitol and secure a massive loan.
15:51Ms. Chloe, the banquet is about to commence.
15:53I slowly descended the spiral staircase.
15:55All eyes converged on me.
15:57Look, quick, that's the mysterious heiress of the Brown family.
16:00I heard she spent over a decade training abroad and her methods are ruthlessly sharp.
16:04Absolutely stunning.
16:05Her aura is exact like Lady Olivia's.
16:08I walked to the center of the hall, preparing to give my address.
16:11A shrill, wailing cry suddenly shattered the calm of the hall.
16:15Big sister, you finally agreed to see us!
16:18Lilith threw herself at my feet, desperately clutching the hem of my gown.
16:22Who is that girl?
16:23How did she get to the center of the hall?
16:26She's calling her sister.
16:27Could she be that younger daughter of the Wilson family?
16:30The noble ladies around began to whisper amongst themselves.
16:33I looked at her coldly.
16:35Who are you calling sister?
16:38Big sister, you can't just disown your biological parents
16:41now that you've become the Brown the Air Hamlet!
16:43Father and mother have been to Ludovic Eid,
16:46Doris and Huma's longing for you!
16:49How can you be so heartless, not even returning home once?
16:53Chloe, father knows you suffered in the mountains and hold a rudge against us.
16:57But blood is thicker than water!
17:01You can't just kick the parents who gave birth to and raised you to the curb
17:04just because you have money and power now!
17:06Chloe, mother is begging you, please come home with us.
17:12There will always be a room kept for you at home.
17:15The surrounding guests began to point and murmur.
17:17So the Brown family heiress is an ungrateful rest
17:20who won't even acknowledge her own birth parents?
17:23So what if she's rich?
17:24She doesn't even have the most basic feel-howdy.
17:27I heard she despises the poor and fawns on the rich,
17:30refusing to acknowledge her original bankrupt family.
17:32Like that, even if take over the Brown family
17:34bound to cause problems sooner or later.
17:37Big sister, I know you suffered a lot when you were in the Black Forest.
17:43I know you hate us for not bringing you back sooner.
17:46But father and mother have been searching for you everywhere the whole time.
17:50You got mixed up with those thugs in the hack forest
17:53and racking up a mountain of debt.
17:55It was father who paid off your debts and brought you back to the capital.
17:58But the moment you came back, seeing the Brown family's power,
18:03you immediately abandoned us.
18:05And you even stole the last few hundred silver coins the family had left.
18:09How could you do such a thing?
18:12Theft, violence, debt, a promiscuous lifestyle.
18:16Every single word was a precise stab at my reputation.
18:19The atmosphere in the hall shifted instantly.
18:21Nobles valued reputation above all else.
18:24If any of this were true,
18:25I had absolutely no right to stand here and take over the Brown family.
18:29Be a good girl.
18:30Stop this nonsense.
18:31And come with us now.
18:33Richard stepped forward to grab my wrist.
18:35As long as you admit you were wrong,
18:37father won't hold the theft against you.
18:40He was gambling,
18:42betting that I wouldn't dare make a big scene.
18:44Up on the second floor,
18:46Olivia watched everything coldly.
18:47She didn't intervene,
18:49because she knew I could handle it.
18:50I watched Richard's hand reaching for me,
18:52and suddenly raised my own hand.
18:54Resounding slap echoed through the hall.
18:57Do you dare strike your own biological father?
19:01Biological father?
19:02You are worthy of even uttering those words?
19:05Big sister!
19:06How can you hit father?
19:07Even if you desperately want to be part of the Brown family,
19:09you can't hit your own birth father!
19:11Shut your mouth.
19:12Don't call me sister with your filthy mouth.
19:15It disgustes me.
19:18Everyone, you've all seen it.
19:20This is the heiress by the Brown chosen,
19:23violent, cold-blooded,
19:25disshoning all her kin!
19:26She even dares to hit her own flesh and blood father!
19:29She's nothing but a heartless beast!
19:32Richard Wilson,
19:34I let out a cold sneer.
19:35Did you think that just because there's a crowd today,
19:37I wouldn't dare expose your dirty secrets?
19:40What secrets do you have to expose?
19:41All I know is I gave you life!
19:44I raised you!
19:45And you repay me with ingratitude!
19:48I turned and took a stack of documents from the butler.
19:51Fine.
19:53Since you insist on putting on this pitiful, tragic, edgic act
19:56before all the nobles of the Capitol,
20:00I'll oblige you.
20:00I pulled out the first sheet
20:02and flung it right into Richard's face.
20:04Tax evasion,
20:04embezzlement of royal treasury loans,
20:06and even falsified accounts to defraud your suppliers.
20:09Over the past several years,
20:10you've illegally profited over 3 million silver points
20:13using these fake ledgers.
20:14No!
20:15This is impossible!
20:17How could you have these?
20:20The surrounding guests instantly erupted into an uproar.
20:23I wondered why my final payment was always delayed.
20:26Turns out he embezzled it!
20:28Call the city guard immediately!
20:30Don't let this fraud escape!
20:31I pulled out the second document.
20:33This is the marriage alliance contract from three days ago,
20:36where you tried to sell me off
20:38to that gangster thug in the lower district.
20:41To cover your massive 3 million silver coin deficit,
20:45you mortgage me to a gang boss as a mistress
20:47for the price of 100,000 silver coins!
20:50It's written clearly here in black and white,
20:52complete with your personal signature and private seal.
20:55Trading your own biological daughter for funds?
20:58Is this what you call blood is thicker than water?
21:01Is this what you call paying off my debts for me?
21:05No, Chloe, please listen to your mother's explanation!
21:08You shut your mouth!
21:09You're no better yourself!
21:11In your home, you indulged Lilith
21:13as she made my life difficult in every way,
21:14mocking and sneering at me.
21:16From the very beginning to the end,
21:17you only brought me back to treat me
21:18as a commodity to be sold for cash!
21:20Big sister, don't try to fool people
21:22with these forged documents.
21:24Father and mother love you so much,
21:26how could they possibly sell you?
21:28Even if you want to get rid of us,
21:29you shouldn't use such a mess.
21:30Lilith, you really won't shed a tear
21:32until you see your own coffin,
21:33since you love to butt in so much
21:34to your own affairs.
21:35I held up the final document,
21:37displaying it to all the guests.
21:40Everyone, this girl,
21:41who just moments ago was spewing lies
21:43and slinging mud at my name,
21:45she is, in fact,
21:47not Richard's biological daughter at all.
21:52At these words,
21:53a dead silence fell over the entire hall.
21:56Natalie looked as if she'd been struck by lightning,
21:58standing there in a daze.
22:02Chloe,
22:04what nonsense are you spouting?
22:06Richard also completely panicked.
22:08He lunged forward like a madman,
22:10trying to snatch the document from my hand.
22:12A guard kicked him to the ground
22:14and pinned me down firmly.
22:17Natalie,
22:17open your eyes and look clearly.
22:19This is a blood relationship search of kill
22:21issued by the church.
22:22It bears the personal signature
22:24of the arborship ep.
22:25Lilith was never accidentally swapped
22:26at the monastery back then.
22:27She is the Elizabeth daughter
22:29born to your husband, Richard,
22:30and his personal aide, Sophia.
22:32Ah!
22:33Impossible!
22:34This is impossible!
22:35I raised her for 18 years!
22:40I gave her the best of everything!
22:44How could she be that bitch's spawn?
22:4718 years ago,
22:48Richard,
22:49in order to let his inelidment daughter
22:50live a high-societ life,
22:52switched me out the moment I was born!
22:54He had me still in swaddling clothes
22:56thrown into the beast-infested black forest!
22:59If my mother Olivia hadn't happened
23:00to pass by and save me,
23:02I would have longed to become
23:02a pile of white bones!
23:04A hypocrite who wouldn't hesitate
23:05to murder his own biological daughter
23:07for the sake of an illegitimate one.
23:08He still has the gall
23:09to stand here and lecture me?
23:11Premeditated murder of his own daughter?
23:13This is utterly monstrous!
23:14Worse than a beast!
23:18Bringing his English daughter to rack
23:20is Richard's utterly devoid of conscience.
23:22He was just putting on
23:23that loving father act a moment ago.
23:25I almost fell for his deceit!
23:29No!
23:29I didn't know!
23:31I don't know anything!
23:34You didn't know?
23:35I took several magical portraits
23:37from Charles' hands.
23:38Then look at what these are!
23:40Portraits from three years ago!
23:41You, Richard,
23:42and your biological mother, Sophia!
23:44Vacationing in the South!
23:46You knew the truth since you were 14!
23:48Not only did you hide it from Natalie,
23:50you even conspired to swin her out of money
23:52to buy all sorts of luxury goods!
23:54Natalie completely broke down.
23:56She lunged at Lilith like a madwoman.
24:00You bitch!
24:01You little bastard!
24:03I treasured you like the apple of my eye
24:05for 18 years,
24:06and you conspired to deceive me!
24:09She raised her hand and swung,
24:10slapping Lilith hard across the face,
24:12left and right,
24:13over a dozen times.
24:14Mommy!
24:16Mommy, let me explain!
24:18Lilith's face instantly swelled up
24:19like a pig's head,
24:20blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
24:23Don't call me mommy!
24:25You make me sick!
24:26Richard!
24:27You animal!
24:29I'll kill you!
24:30She charged at Richard,
24:32scratching and clawing at him.
24:33The guests retreated in droves.
24:35Enough!
24:36I barked a sharp command,
24:38and the guards immediately stepped forward
24:39to forcibly pull them apart.
24:41Richard,
24:42when you abandoned me all those years ago,
24:44you should have foreseen this day would come.
24:47Lilith,
24:47the filth you just tried to throw at me
24:50is now returned to you completely intact.
24:52From this day forward,
24:53I have absolutely no ties to the Wilson family.
24:56I turn to look at the butler.
24:58These three are suspects in fraud and attempted murder.
25:00Hand them over directly to the city guard's dungeon.
25:02Yes, Miss Chloe.
25:03Calm was restored to the hall once more.
25:07Olivia descended from the second floor,
25:09a smile on her face.
25:13Now,
25:13allow me to formally introduce to everyone.
25:17Chloe,
25:17the sole heirer of the Brown family.
25:20Three days after the banquet,
25:22Natalie went to great lengths
25:23to track down my whereabouts.
25:25How laughable.
25:26I'd spent those few hours in their home,
25:28and yet not a single one of them
25:30had bothered to ask for my communication sigil.
25:32Olivia told me Natalie was looking for me
25:34while she was teaching me
25:35how to use a finely crafted,
25:36concealed hand crossbow.
25:38If you don't want to see her,
25:40I'll have my men expel her from the capital.
25:42She said casually,
25:43while helping me calibrate the crossbow's sight.
25:46No need, Mother.
25:49Some trash is better cleaned up face to face.
25:52I pulled the trigger,
25:54and the bolt struck dead center.
25:56The next afternoon,
25:58I arrived at the tavern Natalie had designated.
26:01The moment I entered,
26:02I spotted Natalie sitting in the corner.
26:04She looked utterly haggard and worn.
26:06I sat down across from her.
26:08My guards immediately dispersed around the area.
26:11Seeing me,
26:11tears immediately welled up in Natalie's eyes.
26:14Chloe, Mother is begging you.
26:17Please, go talk to Lady Brown.
26:20Ask her to call off her attacks.
26:22What on earth are you rambling about?
26:24Your father's chamber of commerce is about to collapse.
26:27In just three short days,
26:29several major clients from the noble senate
26:30have all withdrew their investments.
26:32The royal treasury has also frozen his loan contracts.
26:36If this continues,
26:37our entire family will be out on the streets.
26:39I know you're angry,
26:40but he is still your biological father after all.
26:46Please, just ask Lady Brown to stop targeting him, won't you?
26:51Hearing these words,
26:52I suddenly didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
26:55Isn't she?
26:56Those suppliers are avoiding him like the plague.
26:59If it's not the Brown family applying pressure,
27:01who else has that kind of power?
27:03I picked up my warm mulled wine,
27:05took a sip.
27:07Do you know how many gold coins
27:08the Brown family's annual turnover amounts for?
27:11Do you know how many private army deals
27:13and mineral transactions Olivia handles every single day?
27:15Do you think she would waste her precious time
27:17targeting a bankrupt territory developer
27:19from the lower district?
27:20Richard's clients are fleeing
27:22because his filthy secrets
27:24have long since spread throughout the circles.
27:31What the noble senate values most is credibility.
27:34Who would dare entrust a project to garbage
27:36who could throw away his own biological daughter?
27:38As for the royal treasury freezing the contracts,
27:41it's because your chamber of commerce
27:42accounts could never withstand an audit
27:44by the Lord Tax Inspector in the first place.
27:46Natalie fell into a deathly silence.
27:48After a long while,
27:50she finally murmured,
27:51her voice trembling.
27:53But can't you help your father
27:55for the sake of blood ties?
27:59Help him?
28:00When he was having an affair,
28:01did he remember he was my father?
28:03When he ordered his mistress
28:04to throw me into the black forest
28:05to be eaten by wolves,
28:07did he remember he was my father?
28:08when he brought me back as a bargaining kit
28:10ready to sell me to that thug
28:11in the lower district,
28:12did he remember he was my father?
28:16And you?
28:18He betrayed you,
28:19made you look like a fool
28:20by raising his illegitimate daughter
28:22for 18 years.
28:24And now you're actually here
28:25pleating his case?
28:28Natalie covered her face
28:29and wept bitterly.
28:31Then what am I supposed to do?
28:37I have spent 20 years with him!
28:40I am nearly 50 years old!
28:43If I leave him,
28:46where else could I possibly go?
28:48Looking at her in this state,
28:50I felt nothing but contempt.
28:52Your maiden family was,
28:53at the very least,
28:54a respectable and prominent one.
28:57Back then,
28:58it was through your family's resources
28:59that he made his fortune.
29:01And now,
29:02not only do you refuse
29:04to cast him out of your home,
29:05you are here humbling yourself
29:07to beg me on his behalf.
29:09You are truly pathetic beyond measure.
29:12This is the last time
29:14I will ever see you.
29:15The fate of your family of three
29:17from this day forward
29:19has absolutely nothing to do with me.
29:21I turned and strode out of the tavern,
29:24leaving her desperate wails
29:25completely behind me.
29:28A week later,
29:29Richard's Chamber of Commerce
29:30officially declared bankruptcy.
29:32All assets were forcibly liquidated
29:34by the Royal Treasury,
29:35and he was even saddled
29:36with a colossal debt.
29:37That afternoon,
29:38I had just walked out
29:39of the Brown family's central fortress.
29:41I saw Natalie hovering near the entrance.
29:43The guards immediately stepped forward
29:45to stop her.
29:46Chloe!
29:47Chloe, please help me!
29:48Chloe, please help me!
29:50I gestured for the guards
29:51to let her through.
29:52Richard,
29:53he brought Sophia back
29:54to the manor.
29:55His chamber of commerce
29:56is bankrupt,
29:57and the manor
29:58is about to be seized
29:59and auctioned away
30:00by the church.
30:01The suburban estate
30:02where he had previously settled Sophia
30:03was also mortgaged.
30:04That bitch had nowhere to go,
30:06so Richard actually
30:07brought her straight back.
30:09He actually forced that mistress
30:10to live under the same roof as me.
30:13And that little bastard Lilith
30:15finds new ways
30:16to humiliate me
30:17every single day.
30:19Wow.
30:20Then he must truly love you so much.
30:23Would rather let the three of you
30:25cram into that dilapidated house
30:27about to be repossessed
30:28than agree to a divorce settlement with you.
30:30This is all your Wilson family's
30:31private affair.
30:32What does it have to do with me?
30:35She collapsed to the ground
30:36with a wail.
30:39Chloe.
30:39What do you expect me to do?
30:41Bring my guards
30:42to kick that mother-daughter pair out?
30:44Or toss you a hand out
30:45so you can run far away?
30:48Didn't you say last time
30:50that you're nearly 50
30:51and can't survive without him?
30:52Since this is your choice,
30:54just rot and faster slowly
30:56in that trash heap.
30:59You'll continue to wait on him.
31:01Wait on his mistress.
31:03Wait on that vicious,
31:04illegitimate daughter.
31:05The weakness in your very bones
31:07is the fundamental reason
31:09you fall into the state.
31:10Natalie sat in despair
31:11on the cold, hard stone floor.
31:13She stared at me blankly,
31:15her lips turning purple,
31:16unable to utter another word.
31:19I turned around
31:20and amidst the escort
31:21of a full contingent of guards
31:23boarded the armored carriage.
31:24The carriage's wooden window
31:26slowly closed,
31:27completely shutting out
31:28her nauseating,
31:28sickening cries.
31:30I thought this wretched drama
31:31of the Wilson family,
31:32but I had underestimated
31:33the madness of cornered rats.
31:35That day,
31:36Olivia and I had just
31:37stepped out of a private wine bar.
31:39We were about to board the carriage
31:40when two figures suddenly burst out
31:42from the alley across the street.
31:43It was Richard and Lilith.
31:45Richard's eyes were deeply sunken,
31:47clutching a half-empty
31:48ale bottle in his hand.
31:49Richard roared in a hoarse,
31:50raspy voice.
31:51Chloe!
31:56Let me go!
31:58I'm her father!
32:00Are you satisfied now?
32:02I've lost everything!
32:06I'm begging you,
32:08leave your father away to live.
32:11I told you long ago,
32:13there is no relationship
32:14between you and me.
32:17Chloe!
32:18Who are you
32:19to act so high and mighty?
32:22Aren't you just relying
32:23on the fact that Olivia
32:24backs you up?
32:25You won't be happy
32:25until you've driven us
32:26to our deaths, will you?
32:28Back then,
32:28you were thrown into
32:29the Black Forest,
32:30and aren't you alive
32:31and well now?
32:32You own the entire
32:33Brown family!
32:33You live better
32:34than all of us!
32:35What do you have
32:36to be aggrieved about?
32:37What right do you have
32:38to seek revenge on us?
32:39Listening to her rant,
32:40I suddenly felt
32:41an immense sense of calm.
32:42I walked up to her
32:43and tilted her chin up
32:45with the toe of my shoe.
32:47You've finally stopped
32:48pretending, haven't you?
32:53You should be thanking
32:54my mom for throwing
32:55you away back then.
32:57Otherwise,
32:58would you have
32:59the kind of immense power
33:00and glorious life
33:01you have today?
33:01I looked at her twisted,
33:03contorted face.
33:04Lilith,
33:05I became the heiress
33:06of the Brown family
33:07because I survived
33:08countless situations
33:09of flashing blades
33:10and mortal danger,
33:11because I passed
33:12Olivia's most rigorous tests.
33:14If my luck
33:15had been bad then,
33:16I would have long
33:16used to become
33:17a pile of bite bones
33:18in the Black Forest!
33:20Since you think
33:21being thrown into
33:21the mountains
33:22is a blessing,
33:24then I shall grant
33:25you that wish.
33:28knock these two unconscious.
33:31Throw them into
33:32the most chaotic
33:33penal exception camp
33:34in the frozen
33:35wastelands of the north.
33:38Let them go
33:39and experience
33:40what a good life
33:41truly is.
33:44But the guards,
33:45without a moment's hesitation,
33:47struck them unconscious
33:48with the pommels
33:49of their swords.
33:50The world was
33:50finally quiet.
33:52Olivia walked up to me
33:53and handed me
33:54a clean silk handkerchief.
33:56Well done, Chloe.
33:58Leaving no loose ends,
34:00that is the Brown family way.
34:02I took the handkerchief
34:03and wiped my hands.
34:04Then I linked my arm
34:05with hers
34:05and walked towards
34:06the waiting luxurious carriage.
34:10Let's go, Mother.
34:11The air in the royal capital
34:12has finally turned fresh.
