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