TVTranscript
00:00:00I will show you the next dos.
00:00:07Hush.
00:00:07Ahhh!
00:00:13Hold on. Hold on. We're almost there.
00:00:16You can do it.
00:00:20I am trying!
00:00:23Ahhh!
00:00:30They're here. Congratulations. You both have daughters.
00:00:37My little princess. Mommy's here.
00:00:43Ryan and I had daughters on the same day. It feels like fate.
00:00:47I ordered matching guardian angel pendants. Put them on the girls.
00:00:59Mrs. Hayes, you're too good to me. Don't call me Mrs. Hayes, Melissa.
00:01:04You may be my assistant, but Ethan Ward died while working as my driver. I owe it to you to
00:01:08look after you.
00:01:09From now on, your family to me. You and Jason can stay at my estate.
00:01:18Melissa, your husband's gone. You shouldn't have to do this alone. Let Mrs. Hayes help you.
00:01:24Then thank you, Victoria.
00:01:26Victoria, you just gave birth. You should get some rest. I'll get you something to eat.
00:01:38Melissa?
00:01:40Melissa?
00:01:41Melissa?
00:01:42Where's Melissa? Where are the babies?
00:01:48Melissa?
00:01:51Babies?
00:01:53Where?
00:02:01Melissa?
00:02:02What if someone catches us?
00:02:04Victoria is asleep and Ryan is off making soup. No one will notice.
00:02:08I'm every bit as pretty and educated as she is, so why does she get to be the boss while
00:02:12I'm stuck as her secretary?
00:02:14And Ethan Ward, that useless man?
00:02:16I told him to get rid of Victoria, and he managed to get himself killed instead.
00:02:19If I can't beat Victoria, then let her raise my daughter for me.
00:02:24And her daughter can grow up paying for every miserable thing I've ever swallowed.
00:02:44Melissa, I treated you like my best friend. You treated me like an enemy.
00:02:52My baby girl. Mommy won't let anyone hurt you.
00:02:59Melissa, let's see how you hurt my daughter now.
00:03:18Mom, Dad, how do I look?
00:03:20My Ava is the most beautiful princess in the room.
00:03:25Ava, look at you.
00:03:27You're so pretty.
00:03:29Do you like the dress Aunt Melissa bought you?
00:03:32I love it. Thank you, Aunt Melissa.
00:03:35And the jewelry from Uncle Jason?
00:03:37I love that too.
00:03:39I love anything from you and Uncle Jason.
00:03:41Ava, you're such a sweet talker.
00:03:44Not like that little nobody at home.
00:03:47She's so dumb and useless.
00:03:51Melissa, did you hit Evie again?
00:03:53There are better ways to discipline a child.
00:03:56Whatever.
00:03:57She barely makes a sound even as she gets hit.
00:04:00Maybe she's born to be stepped on.
00:04:02Just looking at her irritates me.
00:04:04Why are you standing there?
00:04:05Do I have to invite you in?
00:04:12Ugh.
00:04:13Embarrassing.
00:04:23Mom, I'm sorry.
00:04:24I was wrong.
00:04:28Melissa, how could you be so harsh on your own child as a mother?
00:04:31Anyone watching would think she was your enemy.
00:04:35She was born a doormat.
00:04:37She should be grateful I didn't beat her to death.
00:04:39Okay, stop arguing.
00:04:41I called you here to discuss the details for the girls' birthday gala.
00:04:45Ava, take Evie to get that wound cleaned up.
00:04:50Victoria, is the transfer to Ava already set for the gala?
00:04:54That's right.
00:04:58Why do you ask?
00:04:59Nothing.
00:05:00Perfect.
00:05:01Ava is my daughter.
00:05:02Once she gets the company, I'll claim her and push Victoria out.
00:05:05Victoria Hayes, you'll be the one under my heel.
00:05:09Melissa, you think you're torturing my daughter?
00:05:11You have no idea Evie is actually yours.
00:05:22If the rug gets dirty, we can clean it.
00:05:24Come in, Evie.
00:05:28Ava, your room is beautiful, and that dress looks perfect on you.
00:05:32Evie, you'd look amazing in a gown.
00:05:34Wait!
00:05:35Aunt Melissa gave me another one before.
00:05:38You can wear it.
00:05:41Ava, that's your dress.
00:05:42If my mom finds out, she'll kill me.
00:05:44It's okay.
00:05:44I'll talk to her.
00:05:45Besides, our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow.
00:05:48Let this dress be my gift to you, okay?
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:52Thank you, Ava.
00:06:08Mom, come look.
00:06:10Doesn't Eva look beautiful?
00:06:11She does.
00:06:12She's just missing the right shoes.
00:06:16Evie, this is my birthday gift to you.
00:06:19Try them on and see if they fit.
00:06:20Miss Hayes, you're so kind to me.
00:06:34Who told you that you could wear Ava's dress?
00:06:37Aunt Melissa.
00:06:38I gave Evie the dress.
00:06:40Don't hit her.
00:06:41Why did you give it to Evie, Ava?
00:06:42Didn't you like it?
00:06:43If you don't, Aunt Melissa can buy you something else.
00:06:45Chanel just released a new line.
00:06:47Aunt Melissa, that's not what I meant.
00:06:48Our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow,
00:06:50and Evie didn't have a dress,
00:06:52so I let her wear one of mine.
00:06:53Ava, you're too kind for your own good.
00:06:55A little nobody like her has no business wearing something this nice.
00:06:59Aunt Melissa, don't say that.
00:07:00You'll hurt Evie.
00:07:00She's used to worse.
00:07:01A few words won't break her.
00:07:03Take it off!
00:07:04And those shoes?
00:07:04Who do you think you are?
00:07:05Melissa, Ava has plenty of dresses.
00:07:07She won't miss one.
00:07:08And those shoes are my birthday gift to Eva.
00:07:10We can't have Eva showing up to her own gala in rags.
00:07:12Why not?
00:07:13A little nobody like her belongs in worn-out shoes.
00:07:16Why not?
00:07:16A little nobody like her belongs in worn-out shoes.
00:07:19Melissa, Evie is your daughter.
00:07:20Don't talk about her like that.
00:07:22A few words won't kill her.
00:07:24Girls like her get ruined the second you go soft.
00:07:26What are you looking at?
00:07:27I said take Eva's dress off.
00:07:30You won't take it off?
00:07:32Fine.
00:07:33I'll do it for you.
00:07:36Eva, you're bleeding.
00:07:38Ava, don't touch her.
00:07:39She's filthy.
00:07:40You little stray.
00:07:42You ruined Ava's dress.
00:07:44Why don't you just die?
00:07:46Mom.
00:07:47Don't call me mom.
00:07:49If you're not dead, get up and apologize to Ava.
00:07:53Enough, Melissa.
00:07:54You're scaring the kids.
00:07:56Ava was scared?
00:07:58This is on you, you little curse.
00:08:00Go to your room.
00:08:01Ava, come with Aunt Melissa.
00:08:02I have more gifts for you.
00:08:05You little bastard.
00:08:07When Victoria transfers the company to Ava during the coming-of-age ceremony,
00:08:11I'll make sure you're out of my sight right away.
00:08:16Your dad passed a base early and your mom has a sweared tipper now, so please be patient.
00:08:20Mrs. Hayes, I wish you were my mom.
00:08:24Enjoy yourself, Melissa.
00:08:26Melissa, this little victory lap of yours is almost over.
00:08:29Mom, I'm sorry.
00:08:31Please stop hitting me.
00:08:32Mom, why did Aunt Melissa hit Evie again?
00:08:35Isn't Evie her daughter?
00:08:36Why is she so mean to her?
00:08:37I don't know.
00:08:38Maybe Evie did something again to make her unhappy.
00:08:41Victoria, should we go talk to her?
00:08:42Melissa's a person who doesn't know when to stop.
00:08:44She's disciplining her own daughter.
00:08:46It isn't our place to step in.
00:08:48Besides, Evie is her real daughter.
00:08:50She won't actually beat her to death.
00:08:53Melissa, when you learn the truth, I hope you don't regret this.
00:09:11What happened to Evie's leg?
00:09:13She ruined Ava's dress.
00:09:15Of course she had to be punished.
00:09:16Relax.
00:09:17Kids bounce back.
00:09:20Melissa, Evie, and Ava were born on the same day, and today is also her 18th birthday gala.
00:09:24No matter what, you shouldn't do anything at this time.
00:09:27Don't worry.
00:09:28If she gets in the way, we'll lock her in the basement.
00:09:30That little curse won't ruin Ava's 18th birthday gala.
00:09:33Ava's 18th birthday gala is a top priority, so Evie will just be responsible for carrying her train.
00:09:38Melissa, Evie is your daughter, not Ava's maid.
00:09:42So what?
00:09:43I'm your assistant, which makes Evie beneath Ava by default.
00:09:46Letting her serve Ava is already a favor.
00:09:48Your daughter isn't even worthy of carrying your daughter's shoes.
00:09:53Ava, this is a gift from Uncle Jason.
00:10:00Ava, you're hurt?
00:10:02Victoria, how did you let this happen to her hand?
00:10:04It's just a scratch.
00:10:06It'll heal in a couple of days.
00:10:07A scratch?
00:10:08Do you have any idea what those hands are worth?
00:10:11Why are you yelling?
00:10:12If you hadn't hit Eva in Ava's room and broken Ava's cosmetics, Ava wouldn't have cut her hand cleaning up.
00:10:17What if there's a houster?
00:10:19And you two adults don't know how to clean E?
00:10:21How dangerous is it for a child to clean up broken blollies?
00:10:24Ava is responsible.
00:10:26What's wrong with cleaning her own room?
00:10:28Besides, it's just a scratch.
00:10:30Evie's hands are still wrapped in glas.
00:10:31How is that even comparable?
00:10:34That little nobody doesn't belong in the same sentence as Ava.
00:10:37Ava is...
00:10:38Melissa, calm down.
00:10:40Mrs. Hayes, don't mind her.
00:10:42She just cares about Ava too much.
00:10:45Exactly.
00:10:46Ava grew up pampered.
00:10:47Those hands are for piano and she has a recital coming up.
00:10:50Evie is tough.
00:10:51A few injuries won't matter.
00:10:52Your own daughter's hands are wrapped in gauze and you don't care.
00:10:55Ava gets one scratch and you lose your mind.
00:10:58Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
00:11:05Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
00:11:10Ava has always been sweet and easy to love.
00:11:13Of course I adore her.
00:11:15Yes, Ava is much better than Evie.
00:11:17Ava, remember you're the heiress.
00:11:18Your job is to enjoy your life.
00:11:20Let your parents deal with the dirty work.
00:11:22Or Evie if you need someone.
00:11:24You're treating your own daughter like a servant.
00:11:26Let's see if you're still laughing when you learn the truth.
00:11:29Victoria, is everything finalized for Ava's company transfer?
00:11:32You're all ready.
00:11:33But if you say it in front of Ava, it won't even surprise you.
00:11:38Mom, I'm only 18.
00:11:40You're really handing me the company?
00:11:42Why not?
00:11:43Ava, your excellence is obvious to all.
00:11:45Aunt Melissa is proud of you.
00:11:46That's right.
00:11:47My Ava is the brightest one in the room.
00:11:49Don't get too comfortable, Victoria.
00:11:51Once Ava has the company, I'll tell the truth.
00:11:54After tonight, Hayes Technologies is mine.
00:12:00Is the DNA report out?
00:12:01I'll let my brother get it now.
00:12:05Aunt Melissa, what kind of report?
00:12:07Ava, actually Aunt Melissa has prepared an unforgettable surprise for you today.
00:12:12It's so mysterious.
00:12:14So I'll have to look forward to it.
00:12:16Of course you have to look forward to it.
00:12:19I hope you won't let me down with your painful look when you learn the truth later.
00:12:24Okay, the guests are all here.
00:12:25Take your seats.
00:12:31Who is that girl next to Ava?
00:12:33She's so shabby that even dragging Ava down,
00:12:35she was probably the maid carrying Ava's tile.
00:12:39Money didn't save your daughter, Victoria.
00:12:42Under my hoof, she's been ground into the dirt.
00:12:45Melissa, today, I'm going to make you regret it.
00:12:50Thank you all for coming to my daughter Ava's 18th birthday gala.
00:12:54Today is also the 18th birthday gala for my best friend Melissa's daughter, Evie.
00:12:59Let's bless them together.
00:13:10Wait, she's not the maid?
00:13:13Showing up to an 18th birthday gala dressed like that?
00:13:17Embarrassing.
00:13:20As you all know, Ava entered Stanford's gifted track at 15
00:13:25and has spent years interning at the company.
00:13:29Every department has seen what she can do.
00:13:32So today, I'm naming my daughter Ava CEO of Hayes Technologies.
00:13:50Ava, starting today, you're CEO of Hayes Technologies.
00:13:54Consider this my birthday gift to you and your first real test.
00:13:59I know you're going to shine.
00:14:03Mom, what if I can't do it well?
00:14:05When you were eight years old,
00:14:08you were afraid that you would not do well in the advanced piano exam,
00:14:13but now you have obtained a performance level certificate.
00:14:19When you were ten years old,
00:14:21you taught yourself painting for three months
00:14:25and then went to participate in the state competition.
00:14:29No one had any expectations,
00:14:33but you won the special award that year.
00:14:37When you were 14,
00:14:38you said you wanted to go to Stanford
00:14:40and then when you were 15, you did it.
00:14:43Ava, you're more capable than you realize.
00:14:47As long as you want to do it,
00:14:49you will eat in things success.
00:14:53Ava, believe in yourself!
00:14:55Ava, we are all so proud of you!
00:15:01Mom, I will never let you down.
00:15:04Well said, Ava!
00:15:06She's just a goddaughter.
00:15:07Why are you so excited?
00:15:09Just wait until Jason gets back with that DNA report.
00:15:13Then you'll see why I'm so excited.
00:15:21Melissa, today is Evie's birthday gala, too.
00:15:24Didn't you prepare anything for her?
00:15:25Of course I did.
00:15:28A huge gift.
00:15:30Let's see if you can handle it.
00:15:37Aunt Melissa.
00:15:41Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
00:15:45I'm your mother.
00:15:52Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
00:15:55I'm your mother.
00:16:02Aunt Melissa, what are you talking about?
00:16:04The show is about to begin.
00:16:11Melissa, what did you say?
00:16:12Victoria, here's what happened.
00:16:15Two days ago, I took Evie to the hospital to get her wounds treated.
00:16:21The doctor recognized me.
00:16:23She said she was jealous of your money back then and switched Evie and Ava on purpose.
00:16:30Melissa, the guilt had been eating at her, so she finally confessed.
00:16:36Melissa, you just said that to get a laugh.
00:16:39But in today's situation, this joke has gone too far.
00:16:47Exactly, Melissa.
00:16:49Jokes have limits.
00:16:51This isn't a joke.
00:16:52I'm telling the truth.
00:16:55Impossible.
00:16:56I watched Ava grow up.
00:16:58How could she be your daughter?
00:17:04Melissa, you don't think Ava is your daughter just because of the doctor's words, do you?
00:17:08When you say that, did you even think about how Evie would feel?
00:17:15Mom.
00:17:19I fed Evie, clothed her, and sent her to school for 18 years.
00:17:23I've done more than enough.
00:17:25Now I just want my daughter back so I can make up for lost time.
00:17:33Look at Evie's injuries.
00:17:34How can you say you've done enough?
00:17:38Spare the rod.
00:17:40Spoil the child.
00:17:41I was disciplining her for you.
00:17:43And yes, I'm grateful you raised Ava so well.
00:17:50You're that sure that Ava is your daughter?
00:17:53I didn't want any misunderstanding either, so I had a DNA test done.
00:17:57Jason's at the hospital picking up the results.
00:18:09How could this happen?
00:18:11Did you also take a DNA test?
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:15DNA results don't lie.
00:18:17But even without a DNA test, I still believe that Ava is my daughter.
00:18:24After all, she has been close to me since she was a child.
00:18:30No!
00:18:31I don't buy it!
00:18:33Victoria, I know you can't accept it for a while, but it is the truth.
00:18:40Ava, do you like this big gift from your mother?
00:18:58You can do it.
00:19:04I'm trying.
00:19:07Ava, do you think she's doing it?
00:19:15They're here. Congratulations. You both have daughters.
00:19:21My little princess. Mommy's here.
00:19:28Ryan and I had daughters on the same day. It feels like fate.
00:19:32I ordered matching guardian angel pendants. Put them on the girls.
00:19:44Mrs. Hayes, you're too good to me. Don't call me Mrs. Hayes, Melissa.
00:19:48You may be my assistant, but Ethan Ward died while working as my driver. I owe it to you to
00:19:53look after you.
00:19:54From now on, your family to me. You and Jason can stay at my estate.
00:20:02Melissa, your husband's gone. You shouldn't have to do this alone. Let Mrs. Hayes help you.
00:20:09And thank you, Victoria.
00:20:11Victoria, you just gave birth. You should get some rest. I'll get you something to eat.
00:20:22Melissa?
00:20:26Where's Melissa? Where are the babies?
00:20:33Melissa?
00:20:36Babies?
00:20:38Where?
00:20:45Melissa?
00:20:47What if someone catches us?
00:20:49Victoria is asleep, and Ryan is off making soup. No one will notice.
00:20:53I'm every bit as pretty and educated as she is, so why does she get to be the boss while
00:20:57I'm stuck as her secretary?
00:20:58And Ethan Ward, that useless man.
00:21:01I told him to get rid of Victoria, and he managed to get himself killed instead.
00:21:04If I can't beat Victoria, then let her raise my daughter for me.
00:21:08And her daughter can grow up paying for every miserable thing I've ever swallowed.
00:21:28Melissa, I treated you like my best friend.
00:21:31You treated me like an enemy.
00:21:37My baby girl.
00:21:39Mommy won't let anyone hurt you.
00:21:44Melissa, let's see how you hurt my daughter now.
00:22:03Mom, Dad, how do I look?
00:22:05My Ava is the most beautiful princess in the room.
00:22:09Ava, look at you.
00:22:12You're so pretty.
00:22:14Do you like the dress Aunt Melissa bought you?
00:22:17I love it. Thank you, Aunt Melissa.
00:22:19And the jewelry from Uncle Jason?
00:22:22I love that too. I love anything from you and Uncle Jason.
00:22:26Ava, you're such a sweet talker.
00:22:29Not like that little nobody at home.
00:22:31She's so dumb and useless.
00:22:36Melissa, did you hit Evie again?
00:22:38There are better ways to discipline a child.
00:22:41Whatever.
00:22:42She barely makes a sound even as she gets hit.
00:22:45Maybe she's born to be stepped on.
00:22:47Just looking at her irritates me.
00:22:49Why are you standing there?
00:22:50Do I have to invite you in?
00:22:56Ugh. Embarrassing.
00:23:07Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong.
00:23:12Melissa, how could you be so harsh on your own child as a mother?
00:23:16Anyone watching would think she was your enemy.
00:23:20She was born a doormat.
00:23:22She should be grateful I didn't beat her to death.
00:23:24Okay, stop arguing.
00:23:26I called you here to discuss the details for the girls' birthday gala.
00:23:30Ava, take Evie to get that wound cleaned up.
00:23:35Victoria, is the transfer to Ava already set for the gala?
00:23:39That's right.
00:23:43Why do you ask?
00:23:44Nothing.
00:23:45Perfect.
00:23:46Ava is my daughter.
00:23:47Once she gets the company, I'll claim her and push Victoria out.
00:23:50Victoria Hayes, you'll be the one under my heel.
00:23:53Melissa, you think you're torturing my daughter?
00:23:56You have no idea Evie is actually yours.
00:24:07If the rug gets dirty, we can clean it.
00:24:09Come in, Evie.
00:24:13Ava, your room is beautiful, and that dress looks perfect on you.
00:24:16Evie, you'd look amazing in a gown.
00:24:19Wait!
00:24:20Aunt Melissa gave me another one before.
00:24:22You can wear it.
00:24:26Ava, that's your dress.
00:24:27If my mom finds out, she'll kill me.
00:24:29It's okay.
00:24:29I'll talk to her.
00:24:30Besides, our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow.
00:24:32Let this dress be my gift to you, okay?
00:24:36Okay.
00:24:37Thank you, Ava.
00:24:39Thank you, Ava.
00:24:53Mom, come look.
00:24:54Doesn't Eva look beautiful?
00:24:56She does.
00:24:56She's just missing the right shoes.
00:25:01Evie, this is my birthday gift to you.
00:25:03Try them on and see if they fit.
00:25:05Miss Hayes, you're so kind to me.
00:25:19Who told you that you could wear Ava's dress?
00:25:22Aunt Melissa.
00:25:23I gave Evie the dress.
00:25:25Don't hit her.
00:25:26Why did you give it to Evie, Ava?
00:25:27Didn't you like it?
00:25:28If you don't, Aunt Melissa can buy you something else.
00:25:30Chanel just released a new line.
00:25:31Aunt Melissa, that's not what I meant.
00:25:33Our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow, and Evie didn't have a dress, so I let her
00:25:37wear one of mine.
00:25:38Ava, you're too kind for your own good.
00:25:40A little nobody like her has no business wearing something this nice.
00:25:43Aunt Melissa, don't say that.
00:25:45You'll hurt Evie.
00:25:45She's used to worse.
00:25:46A few words won't break her.
00:25:47Take it off!
00:25:48And those shoes?
00:25:49Who do you think you are?
00:25:50Melissa, Ava has plenty of dresses.
00:25:52She won't miss one.
00:25:53And those shoes are my birthday gift to Eva.
00:25:54We can't have Eva showing up to her own gala in rags.
00:25:57Why not?
00:25:58A little nobody like her belongs in worn-out shoes.
00:26:00Why not?
00:26:01A little nobody like her belongs in worn-out shoes.
00:26:04Melissa, Evie is your daughter.
00:26:05Don't talk about her like that.
00:26:07A few words won't kill her.
00:26:08Girls like her get ruined the second you go soft.
00:26:10What are you looking at?
00:26:12I said take Eva's dress off!
00:26:15You won't take it off?
00:26:17Fine.
00:26:17I'll do it for you.
00:26:21Eva, you're bleeding!
00:26:23Ava, don't touch her.
00:26:24She's filthy.
00:26:25You little stray.
00:26:27You've ruined Ava's dress.
00:26:29Why don't you just die?
00:26:31Mom!
00:26:32Don't call me mom!
00:26:34If you're not dead, get up and apologize to Ava!
00:26:38Enough, Melissa.
00:26:39You're scaring the kids.
00:26:41Ava was scared?
00:26:43This is on you, you little curse.
00:26:45Go to your room.
00:26:46Ava, come with Aunt Melissa.
00:26:47I have more gifts for you.
00:26:50You little bastard.
00:26:52When Victoria transfers the company to Ava during the coming-of-age ceremony,
00:26:55I'll make sure you're out of my sight right away.
00:27:00Your dad passed a base early and your mom has a sweared tipper now, so please be patient.
00:27:05Mrs. Hayes, I wish you were my mom.
00:27:09Enjoy yourself, Melissa.
00:27:11This little victory lap of yours is almost over.
00:27:14Mom, I'm sorry!
00:27:15Please stop hitting me!
00:27:17Mom, why did Aunt Melissa hit Evie again?
00:27:19Isn't Evie her daughter?
00:27:20Why is she so mean to her?
00:27:22I don't know.
00:27:22Maybe Evie did something again to make her unhappy?
00:27:26Victoria, should we go talk to her?
00:27:27Melissa's a person who doesn't know when to stop.
00:27:29She's disciplining her own daughter.
00:27:31It isn't our place to step in.
00:27:33Besides, Evie is her real daughter.
00:27:34She won't actually beat her to death.
00:27:38Melissa, when you learn the truth, I hope you don't regret this.
00:27:56What happened to Evie's leg?
00:27:58She ruined Ava's dress.
00:28:00Of course she had to be punished.
00:28:01Relax.
00:28:02Kids bounce back.
00:28:04Melissa, Evie, and Ava were born on the same day,
00:28:07and today is also her 18th birthday gala.
00:28:09No matter what, you shouldn't do anything at this time.
00:28:12Don't worry.
00:28:13If she gets in the way, we'll lock her in the basement.
00:28:15That little curse won't ruin Ava's 18th birthday gala.
00:28:18Ava's 18th birthday gala is a top priority,
00:28:20so Evie will just be responsible for carrying her train.
00:28:23Melissa, Evie is your daughter, not Ava's maid.
00:28:27So what?
00:28:28I'm your assistant, which makes Evie beneath Ava by default.
00:28:31Letting her serve Ava is already a favor.
00:28:33Your daughter isn't even worthy of carrying your daughter's shoes.
00:28:38Ava, this is a gift from Uncle Jason.
00:28:45Ava, you're hurt?
00:28:46Victoria, how did you let this happen to her hand?
00:28:49It's just a scratch.
00:28:50It'll heal in a couple of days.
00:28:52A scratch?
00:28:53Do you have any idea what those hands are worth?
00:28:56Why are you yelling?
00:28:57If you hadn't hit Eva in Ava's room and broken Ava's cosmetics,
00:29:00Ava wouldn't have cut her hand cleaning up.
00:29:02What if there is a houster?
00:29:03And you two adults don't know how to clean E?
00:29:06How dangerous is it for a child to clean up broken blollies?
00:29:09Ava is responsible.
00:29:11What's wrong with cleaning her own room?
00:29:13Besides, it's just a scratch.
00:29:15Evie's hands are still wrapped in glaws.
00:29:17How is that even comparable?
00:29:19That little nobody doesn't belong in the same sentence as Ava.
00:29:22Ava is...
00:29:23Melissa, calm down.
00:29:24Mrs. Hayes, don't mind her.
00:29:26She just cares about Ava too much.
00:29:30Exactly.
00:29:30Ava grew up pampered.
00:29:32Those hands are for piano and she has a recital coming up.
00:29:34Evie is tough.
00:29:35A few injuries won't matter.
00:29:37Your own daughter's hands are wrapped in gauze and you don't care.
00:29:40Ava gets one scratch and you lose your mind.
00:29:43Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
00:29:49Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
00:29:55Ava has always been sweet and easy to love.
00:29:58Of course I adore her.
00:29:59Yes, Ava is much better than Evie.
00:30:01Ava, remember you're the heiress.
00:30:03Your job is to enjoy your life.
00:30:05Let your parents deal with the dirty work.
00:30:07Or Evie, if you need someone.
00:30:09You're treating your own daughter like a servant.
00:30:11Let's see if you're still laughing when you learn the truth.
00:30:13Victoria, is everything finalized for Ava's company transfer?
00:30:16You're all ready.
00:30:18But if you say it in front of Ava, it won't even surprise you.
00:30:23Mom, I'm only 18.
00:30:25You're really handing me the company?
00:30:27Why not?
00:30:28Ava, your excellence is obvious to all.
00:30:30Aunt Melissa is proud of you.
00:30:31That's right.
00:30:32My Ava is the brightest one in the room.
00:30:34Don't get too comfortable, Victoria.
00:30:36Once Ava has the company, I'll tell the truth.
00:30:38After tonight, Hayes Technologies is mine.
00:30:45Is the DNA report out?
00:30:46I'll let my brother get it now.
00:30:49Aunt Melissa, what kind of report?
00:30:52Ava, actually Aunt Melissa has prepared an unforgettable surprise for you today.
00:30:57It's so mysterious.
00:30:59So I'll have to look forward to it.
00:31:01Of course you have to look forward to it.
00:31:04I hope you won't let me down with your painful look when you learn the truth later.
00:31:09Okay, the guests are all here.
00:31:10Take your seats.
00:31:16Who is that girl next to Ava?
00:31:18She's so shabby that even dragging Ava down, she was probably the maid carrying Ava's tile.
00:31:24Money didn't save your daughter, Victoria.
00:31:26Under my hoof, she's been ground into the dirt.
00:31:29Melissa, today, I'm going to make you regret it.
00:31:35Thank you all for coming to my daughter Ava's 18th birthday gala.
00:31:39Today is also the 18th birthday gala for my best friend Melissa's daughter, Evie.
00:31:44Let's bless them together!
00:31:55Wait, she's not the maid?
00:31:58Showing up to an 18th birthday gala dressed like that?
00:32:02Embarrassing.
00:32:05As you all know, Ava entered Stanford's gifted track at 15 and has spent years interning at the company.
00:32:14Every department has seen what she can do.
00:32:17So today, I'm naming my daughter Ava CEO of Hayes Technologies.
00:32:35Ava, starting today, you're CEO of Hayes Technologies.
00:32:38Consider this my birthday gift to you, and your first real test.
00:32:43I know you're going to shine.
00:32:47Mom, what if I can't do it well?
00:32:50When you were eight years old, you were afraid that you would not do well in the advanced piano exam,
00:32:58but now you have obtained a performance level certificate.
00:33:04When you were 10 years old, you taught yourself painting for three months
00:33:10and then went to participate in the state competition.
00:33:14No one had any expectations, but you won the special award that year.
00:33:22When you were 14, you said you wanted to go to Stanford, and then when you were 15, you did
00:33:27it.
00:33:28Ava, you're more capable than you realize.
00:33:32As long as you want to do it, you will eat in things success.
00:33:38Ava, believe in yourself!
00:33:40Ava, we are all so proud of you!
00:33:45Mom, I will never let you down.
00:33:49Well said, Ava!
00:33:50She's just a goddaughter. Why are you so excited?
00:33:54Just wait until Jason gets back with that DNA report.
00:33:58Then you'll see why I'm so excited.
00:34:05Melissa, today is Evie's birthday gala, too.
00:34:09Didn't you prepare anything for her?
00:34:10Of course I did.
00:34:13A huge gift.
00:34:15Let's see if you can handle it.
00:34:21Aunt Melissa.
00:34:26Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
00:34:30I'm your mother.
00:34:36Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
00:34:39Melissa, I'm your mother.
00:34:47Aunt Melissa, what are you talking about?
00:34:49The show is about to begin.
00:34:56Melissa, what did you say?
00:34:57Victoria, here's what happened.
00:35:00Two days ago, I took Evie to the hospital to get her wounds treated.
00:35:06The doctor recognized me.
00:35:08She said she was jealous of your money back then and switched Evie and Ava on purpose.
00:35:15The guilt had been eating at her, so she finally confessed.
00:35:20Melissa, you just said that to get a laugh, but in today's situation, this joke has gone too far.
00:35:32Exactly, Melissa, jokes have limits.
00:35:36This isn't a joke.
00:35:37I'm telling the truth.
00:35:40Impossible.
00:35:41I watched Ava grow up.
00:35:42How could she be your daughter?
00:35:49Melissa, you don't think Ava is your daughter just because of the doctor's words, do you?
00:35:54When you say that, did you even think about how Evie would feel?
00:36:00Mom.
00:36:03I fed Evie, clothed her, and sent her to school for 18 years.
00:36:08I've done more than enough.
00:36:10Now I just want my daughter back so I can make up for lost time.
00:36:17Look at Evie's injuries.
00:36:19How can you say you've done enough?
00:36:23Spare the rod, spoil the child.
00:36:26I was disciplining her for you.
00:36:27And yes, I'm grateful you raised Ava so well.
00:36:35You're that sure that Ava is your daughter?
00:36:38I didn't want any misunderstanding either, so I had a DNA test done.
00:36:42Jason's at the hospital picking up the results.
00:36:53How could this happen?
00:36:56Did you also take a DNA test?
00:36:59Yes.
00:37:00DNA results don't lie.
00:37:02But even without a DNA test...
00:37:05I still believe that Ava is my daughter.
00:37:08After all, she has been close to me since she was a child.
00:37:14No!
00:37:16I don't buy it!
00:37:17Victoria, I know you can't accept it for a while, but it is the truth.
00:37:24Ava?
00:37:25Do you like this big gift from your mother?
00:37:31Push!
00:37:38Hold on, hold on, we're almost there.
00:37:41You can do it.
00:37:45I'm trying.
00:37:52I'm trying.
00:37:55They're here.
00:37:56Congratulations.
00:37:57You both have daughters.
00:38:01My little princess.
00:38:04Mommy's here.
00:38:08Ryan and I had daughters on the same day.
00:38:11It feels like fate.
00:38:12I ordered matching guardian angel pendants.
00:38:15Put them on the girls.
00:38:16I'm trying.
00:38:23Mrs. Hayes, you're too good to me.
00:38:26Don't call me Mrs. Hayes, Melissa.
00:38:28You may be my assistant, but Ethan Ward died while working as my driver.
00:38:32I owe it to you to look after you.
00:38:34From now on, you're family to me.
00:38:36You and Jason can stay at my estate.
00:38:42Melissa, your husband's gone.
00:38:44You shouldn't have to do this alone.
00:38:47Let Mrs. Hayes help you.
00:38:48Then thank you, Victoria.
00:38:50Victoria, you just gave birth.
00:38:52You should get some rest.
00:38:53I'll get you something to eat.
00:39:02Melissa?
00:39:05Melissa?
00:39:06Where's Melissa?
00:39:07Where are the babies?
00:39:10Where are the babies?
00:39:16Where are the babies?
00:39:18Where are the babies?
00:39:20Where are the babies?
00:39:21Where are the babies?
00:39:21Where are the babies?
00:39:25Melissa?
00:39:27What if someone catches us?
00:39:29Victoria is asleep, and Ryan is off making soup.
00:39:32No one will notice.
00:39:33I'm every bit as pretty and educated as she is, so why does she get to be the boss while
00:39:37I'm stuck as her secretary?
00:39:38And Ethan Ward, that useless man, I told him to get rid of Victoria, and he managed to
00:39:43get himself killed instead.
00:39:44If I can't beat Victoria, then let her raise my daughter for me.
00:39:48And her daughter can grow up paying for every miserable thing I've ever swallowed.
00:40:08Melissa, I treated you like my best friend.
00:40:11You treated me like an enemy.
00:40:17My baby girl.
00:40:19Mommy won't let anyone hurt you.
00:40:24Melissa, let's see how you hurt my daughter now.
00:40:43Mom, Dad, how do I look?
00:40:45My Ava is the most beautiful princess in the room.
00:40:49Ava, look at you.
00:40:52You're so pretty.
00:40:54Do you like the dress Aunt Melissa bought you?
00:40:56I love it.
00:40:58Thank you, Aunt Melissa.
00:40:59And the jewelry from Uncle Jason?
00:41:02I love that, too.
00:41:03I love anything from you and Uncle Jason.
00:41:06Ava, you're such a sweet talker.
00:41:08Not like that little nobody at home.
00:41:11She's so dumb and useless.
00:41:15Melissa, did you hit Evie again?
00:41:18There are better ways to discipline a child.
00:41:21Whatever.
00:41:22She barely makes a sound even as she gets hit.
00:41:24Maybe she's born to be stepped on.
00:41:26Just looking at her irritates me.
00:41:28Why are you standing there?
00:41:30Do I have to invite you in?
00:41:36Ugh.
00:41:37Embarrassing.
00:41:47Mom, I'm sorry.
00:41:48I was wrong.
00:41:52Melissa, how could you be so harsh on your own child as a mother?
00:41:56Anyone watching would think she was your enemy.
00:42:00She was born a doormat.
00:42:01She should be grateful I didn't beat her to death.
00:42:04Okay, stop arguing.
00:42:05I called you here to discuss the details for the girls' birthday gala.
00:42:09Ava, take Evie to get that wound cleaned up.
00:42:14Victoria, is the transfer to Ava already set for the gala?
00:42:19That's right.
00:42:22Why do you ask?
00:42:24Nothing.
00:42:25Perfect.
00:42:26Ava is my daughter.
00:42:27Once she gets the company I'll claim her and push Victoria out.
00:42:30Victoria Hayes, you'll be the one under my heel.
00:42:33Melissa, you think you're torturing my daughter?
00:42:36You have no idea Evie is actually yours.
00:42:47If the rug gets dirty, we can clean it.
00:42:49Come in, Evie.
00:42:53Ava, your room is beautiful and that dress looks perfect on you.
00:42:56Evie, you'd look amazing in a gown.
00:42:58Wait!
00:43:00Aunt Melissa gave me another one before.
00:43:02You can wear it.
00:43:05Ava, that's your dress.
00:43:07If my mom finds out, she'll kill me.
00:43:08It's okay.
00:43:09I'll talk to her.
00:43:10Besides, our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow.
00:43:12Let this dress be my gift to you, okay?
00:43:15Okay.
00:43:17Thank you, Ava.
00:43:33Mom, come look.
00:43:34Doesn't Eva look beautiful?
00:43:36She does.
00:43:36She's just missing the right shoes.
00:43:41Evie, this is my birthday gift to you.
00:43:43Try them on and see if they fit.
00:43:45Miss Hayes, you're so kind to me.
00:43:59Who told you that you could wear Ava's dress?
00:44:02Aunt Melissa.
00:44:03I gave Evie the dress.
00:44:04Don't hit her.
00:44:05Why did you give it to Evie, Ava?
00:44:07Didn't you like it?
00:44:08If you don't, Aunt Melissa can buy you something else.
00:44:10Chanel just released a new line.
00:44:11Aunt Melissa, that's not what I meant.
00:44:13Our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow and Evie didn't have a dress so I let her wear one
00:44:17of mine.
00:44:18Ava, you're too kind for your own good.
00:44:20A little nobody like her has no business wearing something this nice.
00:44:23Aunt Melissa, don't say that.
00:44:24You'll hurt Evie.
00:44:25She's used to worse.
00:44:26A few words won't break her.
00:44:27Take it off!
00:44:28And those shoes?
00:44:29Who do you think you are?
00:44:30Melissa, Ava has plenty of dresses.
00:44:32She won't miss one.
00:44:32And those shoes are my birthday gift to Eva.
00:44:34We can't have Eva showing up to her own gala in rags.
00:44:37Why not?
00:44:37A little nobody like her belongs in worn out shoes.
00:44:40Why not?
00:44:41A little nobody like her belongs in worn out shoes.
00:44:44Melissa, Evie is your daughter.
00:44:45Don't talk about her like that.
00:44:46A few words won't kill her.
00:44:48Girls like her get ruined the second you go soft.
00:44:50What are you looking at?
00:44:51I said take Ava's dress off.
00:44:55You won't take it off?
00:44:56Fine.
00:44:57I'll do it for you.
00:45:01Ava, you're bleeding.
00:45:02Ava, don't touch her.
00:45:04She's filthy.
00:45:05You little stray.
00:45:07You ruined Ava's dress.
00:45:08Why don't you just die?
00:45:11Mom.
00:45:12Don't call me mom.
00:45:13If you're not dead, get up and apologize to Ava.
00:45:17Enough, Melissa.
00:45:18You're scaring the kids.
00:45:20Ava was scared?
00:45:22This is on you, you little curse.
00:45:25Go to your room.
00:45:25Ava, come with Aunt Melissa.
00:45:27I have more gifts for you.
00:45:30You little bastard.
00:45:31When Victoria transfers the company to Ava during the coming of age ceremony,
00:45:35I'll make sure you're out of my sight right away.
00:45:40Your dad passed a base early and your mom has a sweared tipper now, so please be patient.
00:45:44Mrs. Hayes, I wish you were my mom.
00:45:49Enjoy yourself, Melissa.
00:45:51This little victory lap of yours is almost over.
00:45:54Mom, I'm sorry.
00:45:55Please stop hitting me.
00:45:57Mom, why did Aunt Melissa hit Evie again?
00:45:59Isn't Evie her daughter?
00:46:00Why is she so mean to her?
00:46:01I don't know.
00:46:02Maybe Evie did something again to make her unhappy.
00:46:05Victoria, should we go talk to her?
00:46:07Melissa's a person who doesn't know when to stop.
00:46:09She's disciplining her own daughter.
00:46:10It isn't our place to step in.
00:46:12Besides, Evie is her real daughter.
00:46:14She won't actually beat her to death.
00:46:17Melissa, when you learn the truth, I hope you don't regret this.
00:46:36What happened to Evie's leg?
00:46:38She ruined Evie's dress.
00:46:39Of course she had to be punished.
00:46:41Relax.
00:46:41Kids bounce back.
00:46:44Melissa, Evie, and Ava were born on the same day, and today is also her 18th birthday gala.
00:46:49No matter what, you shouldn't do anything at this time.
00:46:51Don't worry.
00:46:52If she gets in the way, we'll lock her in the basement.
00:46:55That little curse won't ruin Evie's 18th birthday gala.
00:46:58Evie's 18th birthday gala is a top priority, so Evie will just be responsible for carrying her train.
00:47:03Melissa, Evie is your daughter, not Evie's maid.
00:47:07So what?
00:47:08I'm your assistant, which makes Evie beneath Ava by default.
00:47:11Letting her serve Ava's already a favor.
00:47:13Your daughter isn't even worthy of carrying your daughter's shoes.
00:47:18Ava, this is a gift from Uncle Jason.
00:47:25Ava, you're hurt?
00:47:26Victoria, how did you let this happen to her hand?
00:47:29It's just a scratch.
00:47:30It'll heal in a couple of days.
00:47:32A scratch?
00:47:33Do you have any idea what those hands are worth?
00:47:35Why are you yelling?
00:47:36If you hadn't hit Eva in Ava's room and broken Ava's cosmetics, Ava wouldn't have cut her hand cleaning up.
00:47:42What if there's a houster?
00:47:43And you two adults don't know how to clean E?
00:47:46How dangerous is it for child to clean up broken blollies?
00:47:49Ava is responsible.
00:47:51What's wrong with cleaning her own room?
00:47:53Besides, it's just a scratch.
00:47:55Evie's hands are still wrapped in gauze.
00:47:56How is that even comparable?
00:47:59That little nobody doesn't belong in the same sentence as Ava.
00:48:02Ava is-
00:48:03Melissa, calm down.
00:48:04Mrs. Hayes, don't mind her.
00:48:06She just cares about Ava too much.
00:48:09Exactly.
00:48:10Ava grew up pampered.
00:48:11Those hands are for piano and she has a recital coming up.
00:48:14Evie is tough.
00:48:15A few injuries won't matter.
00:48:17Your own daughter's hands are wrapped in gauze and you don't care.
00:48:20Ava gets one scratch and you lose your mind.
00:48:22Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
00:48:29Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
00:48:35Ava has always been sweet and easy to love.
00:48:37Of course I adore her.
00:48:39Yes, Ava is much better than Evie.
00:48:41Ava, remember you're the heiress.
00:48:43Your job is to enjoy your life.
00:48:44Let your parents deal with the dirty work.
00:48:47Or Evie if you need someone.
00:48:48You're treating your own daughter like a servant.
00:48:51Let's see if you're still laughing when you learn the truth.
00:48:53Victoria, is everything finalized for Ava's company transfer?
00:48:56You're all ready.
00:48:57But if you say it in front of Ava, it won't even surprise you.
00:49:03Mom, I'm only 18.
00:49:05You're really handing me the company?
00:49:07Why not?
00:49:08Ava, your excellence is obvious to all.
00:49:10Aunt Melissa is proud of you.
00:49:11That's right.
00:49:12My Ava is the brightest one in the room.
00:49:14Don't get too comfortable, Victoria.
00:49:16Once Ava has the company, I'll tell the truth.
00:49:18After tonight, Hayes Technologies is mine.
00:49:24Is the DNA report out?
00:49:26I'll let my brother get it now.
00:49:29Aunt Melissa, what kind of report?
00:49:31Ava, actually Aunt Melissa has prepared an unforgettable surprise for you today.
00:49:37It's so mysterious.
00:49:39So I'll have to look forward to it.
00:49:41Of course you have to look forward to it.
00:49:43I hope you won't let me down with your painful look when you learn the truth later.
00:49:49Okay, the guests are all here.
00:49:50Take your seats.
00:49:55Who is that girl next to Ava?
00:49:57She's so shabby that even dragging Ava down, she was probably the maid carrying Ava's tile.
00:50:04Money didn't save your daughter, Victoria.
00:50:06Under my hoof, she's been ground into the dirt.
00:50:08Melissa, today, I'm gonna make you regret it.
00:50:14Thank you all for coming to my daughter Ava's 18th birthday gala.
00:50:19Today is also the 18th birthday gala for my best friend Melissa's daughter Evie.
00:50:24Let's bless them together!
00:50:34Wait, she's not the maid?
00:50:37Showing up to an 18th birthday gala dressed like that?
00:50:41Embarrassing.
00:50:45As you all know, Ava entered Stanford's gifted track at 15 and has spent years interning at the company.
00:50:53Every department has seen what she can do.
00:50:56So today, I'm naming my daughter Ava CEO of Hayes Technologies.
00:51:15Ava, starting today, your CEO of Hayes Technologies.
00:51:19Consider this my birthday gift to you.
00:51:21And your first real test.
00:51:23I know you're gonna shine.
00:51:27Mom, what if I can't do it well?
00:51:30When you were eight years old, you were afraid that you would not do well in the advanced piano exam,
00:51:37but now you have obtained a performance level certificate.
00:51:43When you were ten years old, you taught yourself painting for three months and then went to participate in the
00:51:52state competition.
00:51:54No one had any expectations, but you won the special award that year.
00:52:01When you were 14, you said you wanted to go to Stanford, and then when you were 15, you did
00:52:06it.
00:52:07And Ava, you're more capable than you realize.
00:52:11As long as you want to do it, you will eat things success.
00:52:17Ava, believe in yourself!
00:52:19Ava, we are all so proud of you!
00:52:26Mom, I will never let you down.
00:52:28Well said, Ava!
00:52:30She's just a goddaughter. Why are you so excited?
00:52:34Just wait until Jason gets back with that DNA report.
00:52:38Then you'll see why I'm so excited.
00:52:45Melissa, today is Evie's birthday gala too.
00:52:49Didn't you prepare anything for her?
00:52:51Of course I did.
00:52:52A huge gift.
00:52:54Let's see if you can handle it.
00:53:01Aunt Melissa.
00:53:06Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
00:53:10I'm your mother.
00:53:16Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
00:53:19I'm your mother.
00:53:26Aunt Melissa, what are you talking about?
00:53:28The show is about to begin.
00:53:35Melissa, what did you say?
00:53:37Victoria, here's what happened.
00:53:40Two days ago, I took Evie to the hospital to get her wounds treated.
00:53:45The doctor recognized me.
00:53:48She said she was jealous of your money back then and switched Evie and Ava on purpose.
00:53:54The guilt had been eating at her so she finally confessed.
00:54:00Melissa, you just said that to get a laugh.
00:54:03But in today's situation, this joke has gone too far.
00:54:11Exactly, Melissa.
00:54:13Jokes have limits.
00:54:16This isn't a joke.
00:54:17I'm telling the truth.
00:54:20Impossible.
00:54:21I watched Ava grow up.
00:54:22How could she be your daughter?
00:54:29Melissa, you don't think Ava is your daughter just because of the doctor's words, do you?
00:54:33When you say that, did you even think about how Evie would feel?
00:54:39Mom.
00:54:43I fed Evie, clothed her, and sent her to school for 18 years.
00:54:47I've done more than enough.
00:54:49Now I just want my daughter back so I can make up for lost time.
00:54:57Look at Evie's injuries.
00:54:59How can you say you've done enough?
00:55:03Spare the rod, spoil the child.
00:55:05I was disciplining her for you.
00:55:07And yes, I'm grateful you raised Ava so well.
00:55:15You're that sure that Ava is your daughter?
00:55:18I didn't want any misunderstanding either, so I had a DNA test done.
00:55:22Jason's at the hospital picking up the results.
00:55:33How could this happen?
00:55:36Did you also take a DNA test?
00:55:39Yes!
00:55:40DNA results don't lie.
00:55:42But even without a DNA test...
00:55:45I still believe that Ava is my daughter.
00:55:48After all, she has been close to me since she was a child.
00:55:54No!
00:55:56I don't buy it!
00:55:57Victoria, I know you can't accept it for a while, but it is the truth.
00:56:04Ava?
00:56:05Do you like this big gift from your mother?
00:56:11What?
00:56:14No!
00:56:18Hold on.
00:56:19Hold on, we're almost there.
00:56:20You can do it.
00:56:25I'm trying.
00:56:35They're here.
00:56:36Congratulations.
00:56:37You both have daughters.
00:56:41My little princess.
00:56:44Mommy's here.
00:56:48Ryan and I had daughters on the same day.
00:56:50It feels like fate.
00:56:52I ordered matching guardian angel pendants.
00:56:54Put them on the girls.
00:57:03Mrs. Hayes, you're too good to me.
00:57:05Don't call me Mrs. Hayes, Melissa.
00:57:08You may be my assistant, but Ethan Ward died while working as my driver.
00:57:12I owe it to you to look after you.
00:57:14From now on, your family to me.
00:57:16You and Jason can stay at my estate.
00:57:22Melissa, your husband's gone.
00:57:24You shouldn't have to do this alone.
00:57:27Let Mrs. Hayes help you.
00:57:28Then thank you, Victoria.
00:57:30Victoria, you just gave birth.
00:57:31You should get some rest.
00:57:33I'll get you something to eat.
00:57:42Melissa?
00:57:44Melissa?
00:57:46Where's Melissa?
00:57:47Where are the babies?
00:57:52Melissa.
00:57:56Babies.
00:57:57Where?
00:58:05Melissa.
00:58:07What if someone catches us?
00:58:09Victoria is asleep, and Ryan is off making soup.
00:58:11No one will notice.
00:58:13I'm every bit as pretty and educated as she is,
00:58:15so why does she get to be the boss while I'm stuck as her secretary?
00:58:18And Ethan Ward, that useless man.
00:58:20I told him to get rid of Victoria, and he managed to get himself killed instead.
00:58:24If I can't beat Victoria, then let her raise my daughter for me.
00:58:28And her daughter can grow up paying for every miserable thing I've ever swallowed.
00:58:48Melissa, I treated you like my best friend.
00:58:50You treated me like an enemy.
00:58:56My baby girl.
00:58:58Mommy won't let anyone hurt you.
00:59:02Melissa.
00:59:04Let's see how you hurt my daughter now.
00:59:22Mom, Dad, how do I look?
00:59:25My Ava is the most beautiful princess in the room.
00:59:29Ava, look at you.
00:59:32You're so pretty.
00:59:34Do you like the dress Aunt Melissa bought you?
00:59:36I love it.
00:59:37Thank you, Aunt Melissa.
00:59:39And the jewelry from Uncle Jason?
00:59:42I love that too.
00:59:43I love anything from you and Uncle Jason.
00:59:46Ava, you're such a sweet talker.
00:59:48Not like that little nobody at home.
00:59:51She's so dumb and useless.
00:59:55Melissa, did you hit Evie again?
00:59:58There are better ways to discipline a child.
01:00:00Whatever.
01:00:01She barely makes a sound even as she gets hit.
01:00:04Maybe she's born to be stepped on.
01:00:06Just looking at her irritates me.
01:00:08Why are you standing there?
01:00:09Do I have to invite you in?
01:00:16Ugh.
01:00:18Embarrassing.
01:00:27Mom, I'm sorry.
01:00:28I was wrong.
01:00:31Melissa.
01:00:32How could you be so harsh on your own child as a mother?
01:00:35Anyone watching would think she was your enemy.
01:00:39She was born a doormat.
01:00:41She should be grateful I didn't beat her to death.
01:00:44Okay, stop arguing.
01:00:45I called you here to discuss the details for the girls' birthday gala.
01:00:49Ava, take Evie to get that wound cleaned up.
01:00:54Victoria, is the transfer to Ava already set for the gala?
01:00:59That's right.
01:01:02Why do you ask?
01:01:03Nothing.
01:01:04Perfect.
01:01:05Ava is my daughter.
01:01:06Once she gets the company, I'll claim her and push Victoria out.
01:01:10Victoria Hayes, you'll be the one under my heel.
01:01:13Melissa, you think you're torturing my daughter?
01:01:16You have no idea Evie is actually yours.
01:01:27If the rug gets dirty, we can clean it.
01:01:28Come in, Evie.
01:01:32Ava, your room is beautiful and that dress looks perfect on you.
01:01:36Evie, you'd look amazing in a gown.
01:01:38Wait!
01:01:39Aunt Melissa gave me another one before.
01:01:42You can wear it.
01:01:45Ava, that's your dress.
01:01:46If my mom finds out, she'll kill me.
01:01:48It's okay, I'll talk to her.
01:01:50Besides, our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow.
01:01:52Let this dress be my gift to you, okay?
01:01:55Okay.
01:01:56Thank you, Eva.
01:02:13Mom, come look.
01:02:14Doesn't Eva look beautiful?
01:02:15She does.
01:02:16She's just missing the right shoes.
01:02:21Evie, this is my birthday gift to you.
01:02:23Try them on and see if they fit.
01:02:25Miss Hayes, you're so kind to me.
01:02:39Who told you that you could wear Ava's dress?
01:02:41Aunt Melissa, I gave Evie the dress.
01:02:44Don't hit her.
01:02:45Why did you give it to Evie, Ava?
01:02:47Didn't you like it?
01:02:48If you don't, Aunt Melissa can buy you something else.
01:02:50Chanel just released a new line.
01:02:51Aunt Melissa, that's not what I meant.
01:02:53Our birthday gala is the day after tomorrow and Evie didn't have a dress, so I let her wear one
01:02:57of mine.
01:02:57Ava, you're too kind for your own good.
01:02:59A little nobody like her has no business wearing something this nice.
01:03:03Aunt Melissa, don't say that. You'll hurt Evie.
01:03:05She's used to worse.
01:03:06A few words won't break her.
01:03:07Take it off!
01:03:08And those shoes?
01:03:09Who do you think you are?
01:03:10Melissa, Ava has plenty of dresses.
01:03:11She won't miss one.
01:03:12And those shoes are my birthday gift to Eva.
01:03:14We can't have Eva showing up to her own gala in rags.
01:03:16Why not?
01:03:17A little nobody like her belongs in worn out shoes.
01:03:20Why not?
01:03:21A little nobody like her belongs in worn out shoes.
01:03:23Melissa, Evie is your daughter.
01:03:25Don't talk about her like that.
01:03:26A few words won't kill her.
01:03:28Girls like her get ruined the second you go soft.
01:03:30What are you looking at?
01:03:31I said take Ava's dress off!
01:03:35You won't take it off?
01:03:36Fine.
01:03:37I'll do it for you.
01:03:40Eva, you're bleeding!
01:03:42Ava, don't touch her.
01:03:44She's filthy.
01:03:45You little stray.
01:03:46You ruined Ava's dress.
01:03:48Why don't you just die?
01:03:50Mom!
01:03:51Don't call me mom!
01:03:53If you're not dead, get up and apologize to Ava!
01:03:57Enough, Melissa.
01:03:58You're scaring the kids.
01:04:00Ava was scared?
01:04:02This is on you, you little curse.
01:04:04Go to your room.
01:04:05Ava, come with Aunt Melissa.
01:04:06I have more gifts for you.
01:04:10You little bastard.
01:04:11When Victoria transfers the company to Ava during the coming of age ceremony, I'll make sure you're out of my
01:04:16sight right away.
01:04:20Your dad passed a base early and your mom has a sweared tipper now, so please be patient.
01:04:24Mrs. Hayes, I wish you were my mom.
01:04:29Enjoy yourself, Melissa.
01:04:31This little victory lap of yours is almost over.
01:04:34Mom, I'm sorry!
01:04:35Please stop hitting me!
01:04:37Mom, why did Aunt Melissa hit Evie again?
01:04:39Isn't Evie her daughter?
01:04:40Why is she so mean to her?
01:04:41I don't know.
01:04:42Maybe Evie did something again to make her unhappy.
01:04:45Victoria, should we go talk to her?
01:04:47Melissa is a person who doesn't know when to stop.
01:04:49She's disciplining her own daughter.
01:04:50It isn't our place to step in.
01:04:52Besides, Evie is her real daughter.
01:04:54She won't actually beat her to death.
01:04:57Melissa, when you learn the truth, I hope you don't regret this.
01:05:15What happened to Evie's leg?
01:05:18She ruined Ava's dress.
01:05:19Of course she had to be punished.
01:05:20Relax.
01:05:21Kids bounce back.
01:05:24Melissa, Evie, and Ava were born on the same day, and today is also her 18th birthday gala.
01:05:28No matter what, you shouldn't do anything at this time.
01:05:31Don't worry.
01:05:32If she gets in the way, we'll lock her in the basement.
01:05:35That little curse won't ruin Ava's 18th birthday gala.
01:05:37Ava's 18th birthday gala is a top priority, so Evie will just be responsible for carrying her train.
01:05:43Melissa, Evie is your daughter, not Ava's maid.
01:05:46So what?
01:05:47I'm your assistant, which makes Evie beneath Ava by default.
01:05:50Letting her serve Ava is already a favor.
01:05:52Your daughter isn't even worthy of carrying your daughter's shoes.
01:05:57Ava, this is a gift from Uncle Jason.
01:06:03Ava?
01:06:05You're hurt?
01:06:06Victoria, how did you let this happen to her hand?
01:06:09It's just a scratch.
01:06:10It'll heal in a couple of days.
01:06:12A scratch?
01:06:13Do you have any idea what those hands are worth?
01:06:15Why are you yelling?
01:06:16If you hadn't hit Eva in Ava's room and broken Ava's cosmetics, Ava wouldn't have cut her hand cleaning up.
01:06:22What if there's a houster?
01:06:23And you two adults don't know how to clean E?
01:06:26How dangerous is it for child to clean up broken blollies?
01:06:28Ava is responsible.
01:06:30What's wrong with cleaning her own room?
01:06:33Besides, it's just a scratch. Evie's hands are still wrapped in glaws.
01:06:36How is that even comparable?
01:06:38That little nobody doesn't belong in the same sentence as Ava.
01:06:42Ava is-
01:06:42Melissa, calm down.
01:06:44Mrs. Hayes, don't mind her.
01:06:46She just cares about Ava too much.
01:06:49Exactly.
01:06:50Ava grew up pampered.
01:06:51Those hands are for piano and she has a recital coming up.
01:06:54Evie is tough.
01:06:55A few injuries won't matter.
01:06:56Your own daughter's hands are wrapped in gauze and you don't care.
01:07:00Ava gets one scratch and you lose your mind.
01:07:02Anyone seeing this would think Ava was your daughter.
01:07:10Ava has always been sweet and easy to love. Of course I adore her.
01:07:19Yes, Ava is much better than Evie.
01:07:21Ava, remember you're the heiress.
01:07:22Your job is to enjoy your life.
01:07:24Let your parents deal with the dirty work.
01:07:26Or Evie if you need someone.
01:07:28You're treating your own daughter like a servant.
01:07:30Let's see if you're still laughing when you learn the truth.
01:07:33Victoria, is everything finalized for Ava's company transfer?
01:07:36You're all ready.
01:07:37But if you say it in front of Ava, it won't even surprise you.
01:07:43Mom, I'm only 18.
01:07:45You're really handing me the company?
01:07:46Why not?
01:07:47Ava, your excellence is obvious to all.
01:07:49Aunt Melissa is proud of you.
01:07:51That's right.
01:07:51My Ava is the brightest one in the room.
01:07:53Don't get too comfortable, Victoria.
01:07:56Once Ava has the company, I'll tell the truth.
01:07:58After tonight, Hayes Technologies is mine.
01:08:04Is the DNA report out?
01:08:06I'll let my brother get it now.
01:08:09Aunt Melissa, what kind of report?
01:08:11Ava, actually Aunt Melissa has prepared an unforgettable surprise for you today.
01:08:16It's so mysterious, so I'll have to look forward to it.
01:08:20Of course you have to look forward to it.
01:08:23I hope you won't let me down with your painful look when you learn the truth later.
01:08:28Okay, the guests are all here. Take your seats.
01:08:35Who is that girl next to Ava?
01:08:37She's so shabby that even dragging Ava down, she was probably the maid carrying Ava's tile.
01:08:43Money didn't save your daughter, Victoria.
01:08:46Under my hoof, she's been ground into the dirt.
01:08:49Melissa, today, I'm going to make you regret it.
01:08:54Thank you all for coming to my daughter Ava's 18th birthday gala.
01:08:58Today is also the 18th birthday gala for my best friend Melissa's daughter, Evie.
01:09:03Let's bless them together!
01:09:15Wait, she's not the maid?
01:09:17Showing up to an 18th birthday gala dressed like that?
01:09:21Embarrassing.
01:09:25As you all know, Ava entered Stanford's gifted track at 15 and has spent years interning at the company.
01:09:33Every department has seen what she can do.
01:09:36So today, I'm naming my daughter Ava, CEO of Hayes Technologies.
01:09:54Ava, starting today, your CEO of Hayes Technologies.
01:09:58Consider this my birthday gift to you, and your first real test.
01:10:03I know you're going to shine.
01:10:07Mom, what if I can't do it well?
01:10:10When you were eight years old, you were afraid that you would not do well in the advanced piano exam,
01:10:18but now you have obtained a performance level certificate.
01:10:23When you were ten years old, you taught yourself painting for three months and then went to participate in the
01:10:32state competition.
01:10:34No one had any expectations, but you won the special award that year.
01:10:41When you were 14, you said you wanted to go to Stanford, and then when you were 15, you did
01:10:46it.
01:10:48Ava, you're more capable than you realize.
01:10:51As long as you want to do it, you will eat ink things success.
01:10:57Ava, believe in yourself!
01:10:59Ava, we are all so proud of you!
01:11:06Mom, I will never let you down.
01:11:08Well said, Ava!
01:11:10She's just a goddaughter. Why are you so excited?
01:11:14Just wait until Jason gets back with that DNA report.
01:11:17Then you'll see why I'm so excited.
01:11:25Melissa, today is Evie's birthday gala, too.
01:11:29Didn't you prepare anything for her?
01:11:31Of course I did.
01:11:32A huge gift.
01:11:34Let's see if you can handle it.
01:11:41Aunt Melissa.
01:11:43Aunt Melissa.
01:11:45Ava.
01:11:47You shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
01:11:49I'm your mother.
01:11:56Ava, you shouldn't call me Aunt Melissa.
01:11:59I'm your mother.
01:12:06Aunt Melissa, what are you talking about?
01:12:09The show is about to begin.
01:12:15Melissa, what did you say?
01:12:17Victoria, here's what happened.
01:12:19Two days ago, I took Evie to the hospital to get her wounds treated.
01:12:25The doctor recognized me.
01:12:27She said she was jealous of your money back then, and switched Evie and Ava on purpose.
01:12:34The guilt had been eating at her, so she finally confessed.
01:12:40Melissa, you just said that to get a laugh, but in today's situation, this joke has gone too far.
01:12:51Exactly, Melissa.
01:12:53Jokes have limits.
01:12:55This isn't a joke.
01:12:57I'm telling the truth.
01:12:59Impossible.
01:13:00I watched Ava grow up.
01:13:02How could she be your daughter?
01:13:08Melissa, you don't think Ava is your daughter just because of the doctor's words, do you?
01:13:13When you say that, did you even think about how Evie would feel?
01:13:19Mom.
01:13:23I fed Evie, clothed her, and sent her to school for 18 years.
01:13:27I've done more than enough.
01:13:29Now, I just want my daughter back so I can make up for lost time.
01:13:37Look at Evie's injuries.
01:13:39How can you say you've done enough?
01:13:43Spare the rod, spoil the child.
01:13:45I was disciplining her for you.
01:13:47And yes, I'm grateful you raised Ava so well.
01:13:54You're that sure that Ava is your daughter?
01:13:57I didn't want any misunderstanding either, so I had a DNA test done.
01:14:01Jason's at the hospital picking up the results.
01:14:13How could this happen?
01:14:15Did you also take a DNA test?
01:14:19Yes!
01:14:19DNA results don't lie.
01:14:22But even without a DNA test...
01:14:24I still believe that Ava is my daughter.
01:14:28After all, she has been close to me since she was a child.
01:14:34No!
01:14:35I don't buy it!
01:14:37Victoria, I know you can't accept it for a while, but it is the truth.
01:14:44Ava?
01:14:45Do you like this big gift from your mother?
01:14:47Do you like this big gift from her?
01:14:48No, I know you did.
01:14:49Do you like this?
01:14:50Do you like this big gift?
01:14:53Do you like this?
01:14:53What am I doing?
01:14:54You
