00:11Do I hear two?
00:13Sold!
00:14Our father bought a pair of twin wolf shifters at an underground black market auction to serve as bodyguards for
00:18my sister and me.
00:19My sister immediately claimed the older brother, who fell for her the second he laid eyes on her, leaving only
00:24the mute younger brother.
00:26Unselected shifters would be sent back to the lab to be euthanized.
00:29I couldn't bear it, so I kept him.
00:31Since he couldn't speak, I took him to the best specialists I could find, desperately trying to treat his condition.
00:37I spent two hours a day practicing ASL, just to communicate with him.
00:41Because he was frail and mute, he was constantly bullied by the other shifter guards.
00:45So I trained secretly in combat, determined to become strong enough to protect him.
00:49I thought my sincerity would earn his loyalty.
00:52Until the villa fire.
00:56Trapped under a fallen beam with my sister, I watched him choose her without a second thought.
01:01Sorry, I have to save Sophia first.
01:04Turns out, he could speak the whole time.
01:06As the flames swallowed me, he signed words only I could understand.
01:09I owe you.
01:10In the next life, I'm yours.
01:12When I woke up, I was right back to the day we picked our shifter guards.
01:15I stood frozen, my nails digging into my palms.
01:18The sharp pain proved it wasn't a dream.
01:20My sister shot me a glance and tugged on our father's sleeve, pouting.
01:24Daddy, if Emma won't choose, then let me choose first.
01:30Under our father's indulgent gaze, her eyes darted excitedly between the two towering wolf
01:35shifters.
01:36Though in human form, their soft wolf ears stood erect and their long tails swayed tensely.
01:41Their cold wolf eyes glinted with wariness.
01:44I'll go with Ethan.
01:46Emma is always so lonely.
01:48She really needs a strong wolf to protect her.
01:51She spoke as if she genuinely had my best interests at heart.
01:54Yet her eyes never left Logan.
01:56The longing in them was impossible to hide.
01:59I kept my face completely blank as my memories dragged me back to my past life.
02:03Sophia had done the same thing then.
02:06She clearly wanted Logan.
02:07Yet feigned concern for me pretending to graciously offer me the older brother.
02:11But I failed to see that her concession was nothing more than a performance.
02:15I took her feigned consideration at face value, and stubbornly refused to take Logan as my guard.
02:20I didn't want my sister to feel slighted, and I could not bear to watch Ethan be executed.
02:25Save Emma first!
02:27During the vilifier, Sophia cried out to save me first, yet reached her hands toward Ethan,
02:31gripping him tightly.
02:33Even though her own guard, Logan, was right beside her.
02:36Even though she was in a much safer spot compared to me, trapped at the heart of the inferno.
02:40She was always like that, banking on my soft heart.
02:44And every time, I played right into her hands.
02:46Without sacrificing a thing.
02:48She easily maintained her sweet, caring facade to everyone.
02:52Not this time.
02:53I agreed immediately.
02:55Sure.
02:56Whatever Sophia wants.
02:58The unexpected answer made Sophia's smile freeze on her face.
03:01She wasn't the only one shocked.
03:03Ethan's head snapped toward me.
03:05A flicker of disbelief crossing his cold wolf eyes.
03:10Absolutely not.
03:11Father interrupted sharply.
03:13Sophia, your health is fragile.
03:15That is exactly why you need an excellent guard.
03:19This mute younger brother isn't fit to be by your side.
03:23I understood immediately.
03:24So father knew everything, but he still brought Ethan here.
03:27This so-called choice was nothing but a facade of fairness.
03:31I don't mind.
03:32Sophia's shoulders relaxed.
03:33She had just opened her mouth when Ethan spoke.
03:36Mr. Ford, I can speak.
03:37I couldn't help but scrutinize him.
03:39In my last life, Ethan only spoke one sentence before I died.
03:43Now he was speaking already.
03:45Catching a glimpse of world weariness in his eyes uncharacteristic of his youth, I knew for certain.
03:50Ethan was reliving this life too.
03:52Seeing his desperate bid to stay made his dying promise feel ridiculous.
03:56I owe you.
03:57In the next life, I'm yours.
03:59That's so funny.
04:00I did not want him anymore.
04:01Relying on his innate wolf agility, explosive power, and bite force.
04:05He took down several of father's ex-special ops guards.
04:08Even father started to waver.
04:10A smile instantly returned to Sophia's face.
04:13She had always preferred Ethan's gentle demeanor.
04:16Had Ethan not been playing the mute, she would have picked him in a heartbeat.
04:20Fine.
04:21Ethan will stay with Sophia.
04:23As for Logan, he will stay with Emma.
04:27At father's command, Logan's expression instantly darkened.
04:31His wolf tail lashing the floor in agitation.
04:34Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward.
04:36Mr. Ford, I'm sorry.
04:37I cannot accept that arrangement.
04:40What is that supposed to mean?
04:42No matter how much father favored Sophia, I was still his daughter.
04:45Logan's public rejection was tantamount to challenging his authority.
04:48If he refuses to protect my daughter, send him back to the processing room.
04:52In my last life, I already knew the rule.
04:55The shifter guard's father bought at a high price would be sent to the processing room to be euthanized if
05:00they were not chosen.
05:01I could not stand by and watch a life be snuffed out.
05:04That was why I kept Ethan.
05:06This life, it was Logan's turn.
05:08I remained silent, but Sophia immediately lost her composure.
05:11She rushed forward and grabbed Logan's arm.
05:14Logan, you'll die if you don't go with Emma.
05:16Logan looked at her with painful tenderness and he shook his head firmly.
05:19If I cannot protect Sophia, I would rather die.
05:22Hearing that he would lay down his life for her, a flash of smugness crossed Sophia's eyes, a faint blush
05:26creeping up her cheeks.
05:27I laughed out loud.
05:28Emma, how can you just watch him die?
05:31Daddy, since Logan is so loyal to Sophia, why not let both brothers stay with her?
05:36I don't mind.
05:37Two is just as good as one.
05:40That was exactly what Sophia wanted.
05:43From the moment the two Volf shifters appeared, she had not taken her eyes off either of them.
05:48Father paused thoughtfully.
05:50Emma, what about you?
05:51It's all right, Father.
05:53Since I'm the older sister, I should be the bigger person.
05:56All eyes fell on me.
05:58I lowered my head, feigning an understanding demeanor.
06:01Father smiled, beaming with approval.
06:03Now that is a Ford.
06:05But what about your safety?
06:07I looked up, seeing Father's approval.
06:09Nor did I miss Ethan's probing gaze.
06:11But I couldn't be bothered to guess, nor did I care.
06:14Father, send me to my brother's company.
06:16I can fend for myself.
06:17In my last life, I poured all my energy into Ethan.
06:20I forgot to fight for a place in this family.
06:23There were three Ford children.
06:24I was the middle child.
06:26My brother was the heavily favored heir, while Sophia had been doted on since childhood.
06:30When I was seven, I was dumped in the countryside and left to run wild.
06:34Father only brought me back two years ago.
06:35My brother had always been aggressive and decisive in business.
06:39Every time he came back from a trip, he brought Sophia designer bags and limited edition jewels.
06:43Even her personal assistant enjoyed a more decent lifestyle than I did.
06:46In my last life, I paid Ethan's medical bills by scraping.
06:49Together my meager allowance.
06:51I knew perfectly well that to secure my place in this family, I had to prove my worth.
06:56My brother had always been cold to his unfavored sister.
06:59He didn't even show up.
07:01He simply had the HR director dump me in administrative support.
07:04And then he completely washed his hands of me.
07:06Rather than complain, I poured all my focus into excelling at my role.
07:10I still remembered all the business experience I gained in my last life.
07:14This time, I grasped it even more profoundly.
07:17When the company entered a brutal M and a battle with a competitor,
07:20I used pinpoint data analysis and sharp negotiation skills to land a key project.
07:25Only then did my brother finally grant me an official meeting.
07:28After the project ended, he moved me into the core operations department.
07:31The company was severely understaffed at the time.
07:34And the Ford name made my brother more willing to trust me.
07:37This granted me access to many of the group's core trade secrets.
07:41After I won another major client, my brother praised my performance publicly at a board meeting.
07:46Soon, the business world and high society were all talking about me.
07:50Sofia's carefully crafted socialite persona was completely eclipsed.
07:54The day I returned to the villa, Sofia stormed into my room.
07:57The twin wolf guards stood behind her, one on each side.
08:00They surrounded her protectively.
08:02With one look from her, Ethan lunged at me.
08:04He slammed into me hard, caught completely off guard, and was sent crashing hard to the floor.
08:09Sofia's red lips curved, smirking maliciously.
08:12Emma, let me teach you what a real Ford daughter is supposed to look like.
08:17I glared at her, my body stinging with pain.
08:20She paced like an arrogant peacock.
08:22As a girl, you have no business being out there fighting men for deals all day.
08:26And you knew nothing before.
08:28Now suddenly you're getting amazing results?
08:31My brother must be helping you behind the scenes.
08:34If you screw this up later, you'll humiliate the entire family.
08:40Besides, who would ever want to marry a career-obsessed woman?
08:44She curled her lip, her gaze swept over Ethan behind her.
08:47His thick wolf tail hung quietly at his back.
08:51So stop interfering with the company.
08:53Stay home.
08:54Learn how a Ford daughter should behave.
08:57Why the panic?
08:58Her face flushed a deep crimson instantly.
09:00I wiped the blood from my lip and slowly picked myself up from the floor.
09:05Sofia, who are you to say this to me?
09:07The favorite little daughter?
09:09Or the apple of father's eye?
09:12You already have everyone's love.
09:14So what gives you the right to attack me?
09:17For claiming what is rightfully mine?
09:21Emma.
09:22You say I don't know the rules.
09:25That's because I was dumped in the countryside and left to run wild.
09:30But who sent me there?
09:34Sofia, if I hadn't fought tooth and nail to drag you ashore,
09:37you would have drowned in that artificial lake.
09:39But after you got home, you blamed me.
09:41You snuck out alone, yet framed me for taking you out and causing you to fall in,
09:45leaving me to take father's brutal punishment.
09:47Care to explain that?
09:48Sofia could not hold back anymore.
09:50She burst into tears.
09:52Spare me the crocodile cures.
09:53You are not the one who gets to cry.
09:55Just keep playing the spoiled heiress.
09:57I turned to leave.
09:58Just then, Sofia grabbed my sleeve.
10:00Emma.
10:00I was little back then.
10:02You shouldn't have taken my words to heart.
10:04I genuinely care about you now.
10:06Why are you treating me like this?
10:07Maybe I should just die.
10:09Then she actually lunged toward the wall.
10:11Logan instantly snatched her back, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
10:15His cold wolf eyes glared at me.
10:16Emma.
10:17Sofia cannot handle this.
10:20Are you trying to drive her to the edge?
10:22Sofia cried against his chest, shaking her head.
10:26It's okay.
10:27I am sorry, Emma.
10:29Her sobs grew louder.
10:30Ethan looked at her with aching tenderness.
10:32Then he turned to me.
10:34Apologize to Sofia.
10:35Now.
10:36I gave a cold laugh.
10:38And what exactly are you supposed to be?
10:40Ethan said nothing.
10:41He only stared at me with blame in his eyes.
10:43So I punched him.
10:44While he was unguarded, I threw him to the ground.
10:47Shifter or not, he didn't even have time to react.
10:51Sofia screamed and rushed to his side.
10:54Emma, what the hell are you doing?
10:56I thought my sister knew the rules.
10:58I shook off the stinging in my knuckles.
10:59How can she fail to keep her own guard on a leash?
11:02According to the security contract, any shifter attacking their owner gets sent straight to the processing room.
11:07You!
11:08Logan's tail bristled with rage, halting only when he spotted the security team rushing in.
11:13Wiping the blood from his lip, Ethan stared at me as if looking at a complete stranger.
11:17I had no interest in dragging this out.
11:20I turned and left without looking back.
11:22The next day, I intended to head straight to the office, completely done dealing with Sofia and her two shifters
11:27drama.
11:28My door was suddenly kicked wide open again.
11:30Showing zero remorse for trespassing, Logan pinned my arm with sheer brute force.
11:35Sofia has been kidnapped.
11:36You have to come with me.
11:38With a frosty glare, I kicked him hard on the shin, breaking his grip as he winced in pain.
11:42You are Sofia's guard.
11:44If Sofia was kidnapped, that is your failure.
11:47How is that my problem?
11:48Logan's eyes were bloodshot.
11:50The shadows under them looked like he had not slept all night.
11:52Everything!
11:53If you had not provoked Sofia on purpose, she never would have snuck out and got taken.
11:57Before anyone finds out, come with me right now and take Sofia's place.
12:01The door opened again.
12:02Ethan rushed in, sweat on his face and his wolf tail twitching anxiously.
12:06Where's Sofia?
12:07Is she back?
12:08No.
12:09But the kidnapper said we can trade someone for her.
12:12Logan shook his head and pointed at me.
12:14Emma caused this, so Emma should trade herself for Sofia.
12:18I punched Logan straight in the face.
12:23You useless piece of trash.
12:26Logan spat out a mouthful of bloody froth, but he did not let go of my hand.
12:31How dare you lay a hand on me?
12:33Sorry, Emma.
12:34Sofia is in danger.
12:38I have to break the rules.
12:40Once Sofia is safe, I'll accept whatever punishment you see fit.
12:43He twisted my arms behind my back and turned his head.
12:46Ethan, help me.
12:47Despite my combat training, I was no match for the innate and human strength of two wolf shifters.
12:52They pinned me to the floor.
12:54Black spots danced across my vision.
12:56Dazed, I looked up into Ethan's cold wolf eyes.
12:59I called his name.
13:02Ethan, help me.
13:03His eyes were full of pain and conflict.
13:05In the end, he closed them.
13:07I'm sorry.
13:08He grabbed me from behind and choked me until I blacked out.
13:11When I woke up, I was in a jolting SUV.
13:14Ethan sat beside me.
13:15You came back, too.
13:17I looked at him coldly.
13:19That's how I know I cannot trust a single word you say.
13:22His Adam's apple bobbed.
13:24Finally, he whispered.
13:26I'm sorry.
13:27I hit him across the face.
13:28A bright red handprint appeared immediately.
13:31What good is sorry?
13:33It means nothing to me!
13:35This is the last time.
13:36I swear.
13:37He lowered his eyes, unable to even bring himself to look at me.
13:40Once Sofia is safe, I will come back for you.
13:42His voice came low and heavy.
13:44Even if it cost me my life.
13:47I stayed silent.
13:48His voice grew more urgent.
13:50He took a family signet from his coat and pressed it into my palm.
13:53My mother told me to give this to my future wife.
13:56I swear.
13:57I won't let a single hair on your head be harmed.
14:01The SUV pulled up to an abandoned factory,
14:03where I spotted Sofia bound from a distance.
14:07At the moment of the hostage exchange,
14:09Sofia and I brushed past each other.
14:11I caught a triumphant smirk tugging at her lips.
14:14Then she ran behind me.
14:15Logan!
14:16Ethan!
14:17I turned around.
14:18Ethan caught her steadily.
14:19Logan sliced through her ropes with one clean motion.
14:22The two wolf shifters carefully flanked and shielded Sofia.
14:25Ethan was still apologizing to her,
14:27blaming himself for not protecting her.
14:29I swallowed the bitter lump forming in my throat.
14:31You already knew this would happen, Emma.
14:33A hand reached from behind and tightened the ropes around me.
14:36I opened my mouth to speak, only to be knocked unconscious again.
14:41They injected me with sedatives and locked me in a dark, damp basement.
14:45Blood seeped from my body and stained the puddles beside me red.
14:49The kidnapper waved his hand.
14:51Clean her up.
14:52The Ford family is sending someone.
14:54They need to check the merchandise.
14:57My limbs would not obey me.
14:59They forced me into clean clothes.
15:01The pain made me scream.
15:07So loud!
15:08Gag her!
15:09I was like a puppet with its strings cut.
15:12They moved me however they wanted.
15:14Finally, they tied me to a chair.
15:17The heavy thud of footsteps echoed from outside the door.
15:21The kidnappers stopped Ethan at the entrance.
15:23They only allowed him to confirm I was still alive.
15:26Had he come to take me home?
15:28Miss Emma Ford is still alive.
15:30We haven't hit any vital organs.
15:32But if the ransom doesn't show up soon, we won't be so forgiving.
15:35The knife in the kidnapper's hand flashed coldly.
15:37It reflected Ethan's grim face.
15:39When is the latest the ransom has to arrive?
15:41Shock and fury made me want to demand why we were still waiting.
15:44But I could not make a sound.
15:46I could only glare at him.
15:48Midnight is the deadline.
15:49Your family isn't going to back out on the deal, are they?
15:51They won't.
15:52Ethan nodded.
15:53When he looked at me, his eyes were full of guilt.
15:55Today is Sophia's birthday.
15:57If you go back now, you'd steal her thund and that would upset her.
16:00I promise I'll get you out of here.
16:01Just hang in there a little longer, okay?
16:02Rage burned through my reason.
16:04I choked down the fury rising in my throat, silently cursing him.
16:07Ethan, what are you waiting for?
16:09Are you leaving me here to die?
16:11Hesitation flashed in Ethan's eyes.
16:12Then he saw fireworks rising over the city.
16:15His whole body tensed.
16:16Sophia's birthday party has started.
16:18I have to be there to protect her.
16:19Emma, I will come back for you.
16:21Wait for me.
16:23Then he left in a hurry, leaving behind only the fading echo of his hurried footsteps.
16:28The kidnapper sneered beside me and sized me up.
16:30Are you really the high and mighty Ford heiress or some fake stand-in?
16:34I gave a bitter smile.
16:35This family had only ever accepted one daughter.
16:38Midnight arrived.
16:39Ethan did not.
16:41The kidnapper spat on the floor.
16:42I knew it.
16:43She's a total imposter.
16:44Stop wasting time.
16:45Do it.
16:45I used the blade I had hidden earlier to cut the ropes.
16:48I dropped to the floor.
16:49My eyes went completely cold.
16:52Move in.
16:53I gave the agreed signal.
16:54More than a dozen armed men who had been waiting outside rushed in.
16:57They subdued all the kidnappers.
16:59Boss, it's cleared.
17:00I walked through the room thick with the smell of blood.
17:05Burn it.
17:06A black SUV waited outside.
17:08A man in a trench coat stood beside it.
17:11I opened the door and got in.
17:13I looked at the family signet in my hand, then threw it into the fire without hesitation.
17:18Ethan, your sincerity is worthless.
17:20The flames behind me erased every trace.
17:23From this moment on, everyone would believe Emma was dead.
17:27And from now on, the Ford Group had acquired its ultimate nemesis.
17:32At the birthday party, Ethan was distracted.
17:35The dazzling lights of the banquet blinded him, making him momentarily lose his bearings.
17:39A security guard tried to come in with a report.
17:41Ethan glanced longingly at Sophia, who was laughing with guests, then led the guard down a deserted corridor.
17:48Chief Ethan, the kidnapper said if the ransom isn't delivered, they will kill the hostage.
17:52Ethan frowned.
17:54How long until midnight?
17:56Half an hour.
17:57Today was the birthday party Sophia had looked forward to for so long.
18:00Just moments ago, she had invited him to the rooftop garden.
18:04But Emma's pale face flashed through his mind.
18:06Ethan closed his eyes, then gave the order.
18:09Bring the car, get the cash, I'm going.
18:10Ethan, where are you going?
18:12A soft voice sounded behind him.
18:13He turned instinctively.
18:14Sophia stood in the hallway in a custom gown, holding an elegant handbag.
18:19Why are you here alone?
18:20She walked toward him slowly.
18:22The hallway lights wrapped her face in a soft glow.
18:24Ethan stared at her.
18:26Emma has been missing too long.
18:27I'm afraid something happened.
18:28Don't worry.
18:30Sophia smiled softly.
18:31As she reached his side, her silken strands barely grazing his fingertips.
18:35Look at me.
18:36I came back without a single injury.
18:38Those kidnappers only want money.
18:40They won't really hurt my sister.
18:41Relax.
18:42Ethan's eyes were full of struggle.
18:44His wolf tail twisted restlessly.
18:46What?
18:47No buts.
18:48Sophia shot him an unhappy look.
18:50You promised to take me to the rooftop.
18:52You can't back out now.
18:53If it's really necessary, I will personally bring my sister home tomorrow.
18:57Ethan's heart softened at Sophia's compromise.
18:59He immediately pushed me to the back of his mind.
19:02His arm moved toward her waist without thinking.
19:05Just then, the security guard appeared again.
19:08Ethan looked over in irritation, but the guard's face was full of panic.
19:12A bad feeling rose in Ethan's chest.
19:14Chief Ethan, Miss Emma.
19:15She's dead.
19:17Ethan's wolf eyes turned blood-dread.
19:19He shifted into wolf form and shot out the door like lightning.
19:22Ethan shoved violently past Sophia, nearly sending her tumbling to the floor.
19:26But he did not turn back to check on her like he usually did.
19:29The inferno raged through the entire night.
19:32By the time the fire department extinguished the blaze, the entire abandoned factory was reduced to ashes.
19:38No.
19:39No.
19:40Emma can't be dead.
19:41Emma's desperate eyes from the villa fire in their last light appeared in his mind again.
19:46Once again, he had left her alone in the flames.
19:49Once again, he had caused her death.
19:52Driven mad by despair, Ethan clawed frantically through the rubble.
19:56Jagged chunks of concrete tore his fingers to shreds.
19:59Yet he seemed entirely numb to the pain.
20:01Then a fist slammed into his face.
20:03Ethan!
20:05Remember who you are!
20:06Logan hauled him up from the ground.
20:08His cold wolf eyes were full of rage.
20:10You are Sophia's guard.
20:12And someone as stubborn as Emma would never go down this easily.
20:15What?
20:16Ethan stared at his brother blankly.
20:18His voice shook.
20:19Logan swallowed, then kept lying.
20:21It was just a fire.
20:22Maybe the kidnappers escaped with Emma.
20:23Or maybe this was all a show she staged herself to see who would panic.
20:27Light slowly returned to Ethan's eyes.
20:29His body relaxed.
20:32You're right.
20:33She won't die.
20:35His eyes grew bloodshot from overwhelming agitation.
20:38She won't die.
20:38She would never leave me behind and die.
20:41We found something!
20:42A body!
20:43A search worker shouted from nearby.
20:45Ethan snapped his head around.
20:47A charred corpse was zipped into a body bag and hauled from the wreckage.
20:50Ethan tried to rush forward, but an investigator stopped him.
20:54Ethan!
20:55Logan grabbed his arm and kept him behind the police barricade.
20:58Ethan could only stare at the body bag from behind the police barricade.
21:02The body could not be identified.
21:04They had to wait for DNA confirmation.
21:05We still need the DNA confirmation.
21:08We can't be sure it's Emma.
21:09Then an investigator lifted an evidence bag containing a damaged family signet.
21:13He asked them to identify it.
21:16Ethan started shaking.
21:17It was the signet he had given Emma before they separated.
21:20Brother!
21:21It's her!
21:22Ethan clutched the family signet.
21:24His knees gave out, a strangled sob ripping from his throat.
21:27Logan gritted his teeth and dragged his devastated brother home.
21:30We need to report this to Mr. Ford first.
21:32Mr. Ford did not hold them responsible for Emma's death.
21:35Only then did Logan breathe easier.
21:37But when they returned to the villa, they saw Ethan pinning Sophia against the wall by her throat.
21:42His other hand gripped her shoulder hard.
21:44Logan froze.
21:45Then he rushed forward to stop his brother.
21:47What are you doing?
21:48This is Sophia!
21:50Seemingly deaf to his words, Ethan kept his bloodshot eyes locked onto Sophia.
21:55Was it you?
21:56Did you hire those kidnappers?
21:59You said they were treating her well.
22:00So why is she dead?
22:02Sophia's face flushed purple as she gasped for air.
22:05No, it wasn't me.
22:07Ethan!
22:08Logan ripped Sophia out of his hand.
22:10Afraid Ethan would snap again, he shielded Sophia behind him.
22:13His eyes watched his brother warily.
22:15Sophia could never do something like that.
22:17You should be wondering if this is just another one of Emma's traps.
22:22Ethan laughed through his tears.
22:23She told me she was in danger.
22:24I could have saved her.
22:26If Sophia had not stopped me, I would have brought her back!
22:30Ethan was no longer gentle like before.
22:32His voice was ice.
22:34Sophia, tell me the truth.
22:36Did you collude with those kidnappers?
22:38Ethan, you trust me that little?
22:41Sophia's eyes filled with disappointment and fragility.
22:44Tears kept falling.
22:45Logan's eyes filled with heartache.
22:47He snapped.
22:48Ethan, you've gone too far.
22:51Apologize to Sophia.
22:52Now.
22:53Ethan stood rigid.
22:54He stared at Sophia without moving.
22:56Give me an answer.
22:58The stalemate held.
22:59A flash of hatred crossed Sophia's eyes.
23:02Then she grabbed the fruit knife on the table and pressed it to her neck.
23:05The sharp edge drew a thin, bloody line across her pale neck.
23:11Sophia's eyes were red.
23:12She looked ready to give up.
23:14If you think I did it, then I'll do it right in front of you.
23:18Logan lunged forward, wrestling the paring knife from her grasp and pulled Sophia into his arms.
23:22What are you standing there for?
23:25Will you only be satisfied when you've pushed her over the edge?
23:29Sophia looked at Ethan with grief.
23:32Ethan, I know you don't believe me.
23:35Then take my life.
23:37Avenge my sister.
23:39Looking at her pale face,
23:41Ethan thought of Emma again.
23:43He had already lost Emma.
23:45He could not let anything happen to Sophia too.
23:49Ethan stepped forward.
23:50Exhausted, he lowered his head.
23:55Sophia, I'm sorry.
23:57Sophia cried and threw herself into his arms.
24:00He hesitated, then raised his hands and held her.
24:03Only then did Logan relax.
24:04But watching them embrace still stabbed through his chest.
24:07Meanwhile, across the city in a high-end penthouse,
24:10I read an encrypted email and smiled coldly.
24:12The Ford family had used their status in business to act without fear.
24:15Their commercial crimes and illegal deals had been anonymously reported.
24:19The FBI and SEC moved fast.
24:21After prosecutors filed charges,
24:23the court ordered my father and brother to surrender their passports
24:26and remain in the state pending trial.
24:28As a public company, Ford Group's stock crashed instantly.
24:32Trading was abruptly suspended.
24:34The group fell into a bankruptcy crisis.
24:38I looked at Mason, who stood by the floor-du-ceiling window.
24:46Mason?
24:47Why didn't you hand over the most important evidence?
24:50Mason Astor gave a soft laugh.
24:52Gotta hand it to you, Emma.
24:53You really are ruthless.
24:55Aren't you worried that backing them into a corner will make them lash out?
24:59I cut ties with them a long time ago.
25:02After news of my death reached the Ford family,
25:04my father and brother did not care.
25:06They had even tacitly approved of trading me for Sophia.
25:09My mole planted inside the corporation confirmed as much.
25:12To them, trading an unloved daughter for their favorite daughter was a great deal.
25:16I looked at Mason coldly.
25:20Still, you came a little late that day.
25:24I don't need weak allies.
25:26Besides, you were investigating them too, weren't you?
25:29Using Evolve Shifter's speed, Mason appeared in front of me in an instant.
25:32He trapped me in the corner of the sofa.
25:34His dangerous wolf eyes narrowed,
25:37radiating the oppressive aura of an Alpha King.
25:39Emma, we have one goal.
25:41Destroy them.
25:42If I catch you plotting behind my back again,
25:44I don't mind making your fake death real.
25:46I lowered my head, then I lifted my eyes and leaned closer to him.
25:49Of course.
25:50I'll listen to you.
25:51His breathing quickened for a second.
25:54Then he stepped back.
25:57How are your injuries?
25:58Tell me if you need anything.
26:01I smiled.
26:03Seeing his awkward back, I called after him.
26:05Is that concern?
26:06He stopped.
26:07His tone was irritated.
26:08Forget it if you don't appreciate it.
26:10When I saw he was annoyed, I quickly said,
26:13Fine.
26:14I appreciate it.
26:15Mason huffed and left.
26:21I only contacted Mason Astor after I made a name for myself in the group.
26:24Power.
26:25Plays in the shifter world have always been cutthroat.
26:27Our families had long been business enemies.
26:29Years ago, Ford Group set a trap in a major project and crushed Astor Group,
26:33causing their funding chain to abruptly rupture.
26:35Only when Mason the Alpha with the strongest wolf bloodline took the helm,
26:38did he barely keep the company afloat?
26:40Mason had to keep a low profile for a while just to protect it.
26:43Later, he came to me, the daughter of his rival, and offered an alliance.
26:46Hatred forms the strongest of alliances.
26:49He needed the secrets I had.
26:50I needed someone to help me destroy my entire family.
26:53After I gave him information, Astor Group won several major bids in a row.
26:57They slowly closed in on Ford Group's market position.
27:00At a victory gala, I drank a little too much.
27:04After greeting Mason, I walked to the terrace for air.
27:07I stood by the railing looking at the city lights.
27:09Then dizziness hit me.
27:11A pair of hands suddenly held my waist and steadied me.
27:14So Emma changed identities and hid here.
27:16Ethan!
27:17The familiar voice killed the last of my drunkenness.
27:19I shoved him away with both hands.
27:21At the same time, I saw the familiar wolf tail.
27:23His refined face was exhausted.
27:25He looked nothing like the confident man from before.
27:27How did you find me?
27:28I'm the family's guard.
27:30Naturally, I take care of the family's dirty work.
27:33A bitter smile pulled at his lips.
27:39After my father and brother came under investigation, the group lost its decision makers.
27:44Someone had to step up and clean up the mess.
27:46No wonder the collapsing group had temporarily stabilized again.
27:52What do you want now?
27:53I had planned to press the advantage.
27:55I did not expect Ethan to get involved.
27:57Everything I did was for you, Emma.
27:59Ethan looked wounded.
28:01His wolf tail hung low behind him.
28:03He stepped closer and closer.
28:06He forcefully seized my hand.
28:08His hand was still ice gold.
28:11If I had not offered to help the family handle these affairs, I never could have left them to find
28:15you.
28:19Emma, thank God I found you.
28:21You have no idea how much it tears me apart that I didn't save you that day.
28:25I slapped him across the face.
28:27His head turned from the blow.
28:28Then he gave an almost unhinged smile.
28:29You chose all of it yourself.
28:31Who are you blaming?
28:32That's it, Emma.
28:33Just like that.
28:34Punish me.
28:35If it makes you feel better, hit me.
28:38His grip on my hand tightened.
28:41Hit me until you forgive me.
28:43Once you forgive me, come back with me.
28:46After you faked your death, every day felt like I had lost all direction.
28:51Memories of my past life and this one kept me totally paralyzed.
28:54His wolf eyes were red and pleading.
28:56Later, I even reached my lowest point until Logan found me.
28:59Then the Astor family, which had been suppressed for years, began rising again.
29:03Our scandals and illegal evidence kept getting exposed.
29:06That was when I realized you might not be dead.
29:09Only you had those core secrets.
29:12I gave a cold laugh.
29:14I did not want to hear another word of his nonsense.
29:16Several security guards appeared behind me and surrounded him.
29:18No matter how strong Ethan was, he could not attack openly here.
29:22His face was full of disbelief.
29:23He could not accept it.
29:24You have new guards?
29:27What gives you the right...
29:28His breath stopped for a second.
29:29Wake up.
29:30You can be someone else's guard, but I can't have my own people.
29:32If you have an ounce of guilt left, you'll pretend you never saw me today.
29:35Because Emma died in that fire.
29:37I swear to you, I'll make you regret it if you dare force me to leave or ruin my plan.
29:41He lowered his head helplessly, forced to watch as my security detail escorted me away.
29:45I took a winding route back to the office.
29:47Just as I thought no one had noticed, Mason's low voice came from behind me.
29:50Who did you meet?
29:51Was it that wolf guard who keeps pestering you?
29:53I looked at his cold eyes and gave a helpless smile.
29:56I did not go to him.
29:57He stopped me.
30:00Mason grabbed my hand.
30:01I looked down.
30:02He had taken an ice pack from the medical kit and was pressing it to my reddened wrist.
30:07You still need this hand to work.
30:09Don't let it get hurt.
30:11I silently watched his serious profile.
30:13Then I unexpectedly met his eyes.
30:15Those deep eyes seemed ready to pull me in.
30:17Emma, we are allies.
30:19If you have trouble, you can tell me.
30:21But...
30:22You cannot betray me.
30:26Ever since he found out I secretly backed up some of his family's data as leverage,
30:30he no longer fully trusted me.
30:32But our families were still enemies.
30:34I had to leave myself a way out.
30:36To protect our cooperation, I nodded.
30:39Of course.
30:40If anything like that happens again, I'll give you a heads up.
30:43He raised an eyebrow.
30:45Again?
30:45I immediately shook my head.
30:47There won't be a next time.
30:48Only then did Mason let go of me.
30:51He packed away the medical kit and left.
30:53After that day, Ethan did not appear again.
30:55Having barely caught its breath, the Ford Enterprise went into a rapid tailspin.
30:59Beyond all salvation.
31:01Just as we prepared the final strike and planned to submit the core criminal evidence to the
31:05FBI and federal prosecutors, someone came to visit.
31:08It was Ethan.
31:09He looked haggard.
31:10His gaze moved past Mason and landed straight on my face.
31:13Emma, come with me.
31:14Mason's face darkened.
31:15Without a word, he stepped in front of me.
31:17The dominance of a wolf king instantly filled the room.
31:20Completely brushing off Mason's hostility, Ethan only looked at me.
31:24The Astor family is about to be dragged into this.
31:27You have to come with me.
31:28I sneered.
31:29What makes you think I'd believe a single word you said?
31:33For all I know, this is just another one of your traps.
31:37No!
31:38I can't tell you the truth, but listen to me, Emma.
31:41Give me one chance to make it right.
31:43My eyes were cold.
31:45Looks like I wasn't clear enough last time.
31:47Ethan, the moment you chose Sophia and left me to die, we were done.
31:53I don't need your compensation.
31:55I definitely don't need you.
31:57I-
31:57Enough, Ethan.
31:58She is my senior advisor now.
32:00She is mine.
32:01Mason snapped.
32:02No one issues threats in my my territory.
32:04Get the hell out.
32:06Security rushed in from outside, but Ethan acted like he did not hear them.
32:09He stared at me.
32:10His wolf pupils suddenly narrowed.
32:12Emma, if you won't come with me, I will destroy this place.
32:16I will destroy the Astor family.
32:18A dangerous aura rolled off him.
32:20He shifted into his half-wolf combat form.
32:22His thick wolf tail moved restlessly.
32:25He was really going to attack.
32:26Try it.
32:27He did not back down.
32:29The security detail behind him simultaneously drew their tasers.
32:32Mason's wolf tail began to appear too.
32:35He was ready to fight at any second.
32:37Ethan dropped into an attack stance.
32:39Go ahead and test me.
32:40Today, I am taking her with me.
32:42Both sides tensed.
32:44The room was one breath away from violence.
32:46I looked at the standoff in front of me.
32:47Then I reached for the letter opener on the desk.
32:50Seizing the moment of standoff, I pressed the blade to my own throat.
32:54Stand down!
32:55The charged air froze.
32:57Ethan's face went white.
32:58Emma, put the knife down!
33:00Mason was furious and terrified.
33:01Emma!
33:02What are you doing?
33:03I ignored Mason.
33:04I looked only at Ethan.
33:06My voice was firm.
33:07Ethan, I told you.
33:08If you force me to leave, I will do this in front of you.
33:12Now get out.
33:13Emma?
33:14Ethan's voice shook.
33:15Only despair remained in his eyes.
33:17Do you really hate me that much?
33:19I answered without hesitation.
33:20Yes.
33:22Ethan staggered back.
33:24The tension left his body.
33:25He looked at me one last time.
33:27Okay.
33:27That look was full of regret and despair.
33:29I'll go.
33:30He pivoted, completely shell-shocked, and dragged his heavy wolf tail out the door.
33:34Mason immediately stepped forward and snatched the letter opener from me.
33:38Are you insane?
33:39I pulled free from his hand and collapsed into a chair, utterly drained.
33:44It was the fastest way to make him leave.
33:46Mason looked at the red mark the blade had pressed into my neck.
33:49After a long silence, he sighed.
33:51Don't you ever pull a stunt like that again.
33:53Mason stayed on guard for a long time.
33:55But the disaster Ethan warned about never came.
33:57Still, Ethan's sudden appearance proved one thing.
34:00The Ford family was making its final counterattack.
34:02But when we officially made our move, Ford Group had already lost all support.
34:06Months later, federal investigators obtained evidence that Sophia had hired kidnappers and
34:11colluded with an organized crime syndicate.
34:13She was indicted and remanded to a federal detention facility.
34:16My father and brother were convicted on multiple felonies.
34:19Both received long prison sentences.
34:21The group went bankrupt for good.
34:23I paid Sophia one final visit at the federal detention facility.
34:26Clad in a prison jumpsuit, she looked utterly haggard.
34:29The glow of the spoiled heiress was gone.
34:32The second she saw me, hatred exploded in her eyes.
34:35Emma, you bitch!
34:36You're still alive?
34:37You set me up!
34:39This is all you're doing!
34:41What ruined you was your own greed and your own choices.
34:44I looked at her calmly.
34:46Sophia, it's time you faced the consequences of your actions.
34:48She began pounding frantically against the soundproof glass.
34:51Where is Ethan?
34:52Why isn't he saving me?
34:54He said he would protect me for the rest of my life!
34:57I gave a soft laugh.
34:58Him? He is probably paying for what he did to us.
35:02When I left the detention center, I ran into Logan.
35:04He looked utterly worn down.
35:06When he saw me, a complicated look flashed through his cold wolf eyes.
35:10My stupid brother.
35:12In the end, he threw everything away for you.
35:14I did not stop walking.
35:15He owed me that.
35:17In a quiet cemetery outside the city, I found Ethan's grave.
35:21The tombstone was new.
35:22Only his name was carved on it.
35:26Mason told me Ethan had destroyed the forged evidence meant to drag the Aster family into the investigation with us.
35:32As an insider, he also handed the deepest hidden key evidence to the police.
35:36With all that done, he returned to the ashes of the abandoned factory, and there his life came to an
35:41end.
35:41Before then, he had left one scheduled message.
35:44Now I finally protected her once.
35:48I placed a bouquet of white lily in front of his grave.
35:52Ethan, we are over.
35:54Mason stood behind me.
35:55After a long silence, he suddenly asked,
35:58Emma, did you love him?
35:59The breeze brushed my face.
36:01I looked at him and smiled faintly.
36:02I did once.
36:05But that was a long, long time ago.
36:08I only hope that in the next life, our paths never cross again.
36:13After that day, Mason and I did not see each other for a long time.
36:16When we met again, he shoved a thick envelope into my hands.
36:19What is this?
36:21A share transfer agreement drafted by my lawyers.
36:25And a trust naming you as the beneficiary.
36:27He looked at me seriously.
36:29My company, my ass, and the rest of my life.
36:31I'm giving all of it to you.
36:33I looked at the envelope and raised an eyebrow.
36:36What is this supposed to mean?
36:37You hand me everything, then expect me to work for you for free?
36:40He took my wrist and pulled me closer.
36:42I could hear the nerves hidden in his voice.
36:45Emma, stop pretending you don't understand.
36:47I'm proposing.
36:50I looked up at him and could not help laughing.
36:53From business partners to husband and wife?
36:55You really planned this out?
36:56A deep flush crept up his neck.
36:57Just tell me yes or no.
36:59Yes.
37:00His face went bright red.
37:01He held my hand tightly.
37:03Then tomorrow we get our marriage license.
37:05After that, we head straight to City Hall to make it official.
Commenti
