00:00That weekend, I took my cousin to play badminton at the private club I had given my fiancé.
00:06It was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon.
00:08Instead, the moment I entered the lobby, I watched several bodyguards drag my cousin out of the lounge
00:13and throw her onto the floor like garbage.
00:16Her clothes were de-shangled.
00:18You slut.
00:20You were lying in the lounge on purpose waiting to seduce my boyfriend, weren't you?
00:24Since you love throwing yourself at men, I'll strip you naked
00:27and let every man here get a good look.
00:38This is my sister's club. I didn't come here for any man.
00:43Bullshit. I'm Desheer's only girlfriend.
00:46Who the hell is your sister? And why is that slut trying to steal my man?
00:50Desheer. She said Desheer. That's my fiancé's name.
00:54I stopped dead.
00:56The arrogant woman at the center of the crowd was Alivia, my best friend of five years.
01:02She kept one hand tangled in my cousin's hair. With the other, she pulled out her phone and put the
01:07call on speaker.
01:08Babe, get over here. Some slut is trying to seduce you and she says her sister is your girlfriend.
01:15Baby, you're my only girlfriend. I wanna see which bitch is lying to your face.
01:22The fiancé who was always too busy to see me had somehow found time to cheat with my best friend.
01:28One of them was dragging my cousin by the hair. The other was calling her baby over the phone.
01:34One was a couple maybe two.

05:48dashir walked in spinning the key to a ferrari i had bought him for his birthday just last week
05:52i had paid for every cent of it yet he twirled that key like a man showing off something he
05:57had
05:57earned himself the instant he saw me panic flashed across his face
06:06i caught it clearly that half second of guilt would be the only honest expression he showed all day
06:18but the panic lasted only half a second one glance at the crowd and olivia's tear-filled eyes was
06:23enough his vanity took control rather than admit the truth he pulled my best friend into his arms and

06:45dashir and i had been engaged for only two years
06:49which meant that when he knelt before me and proposed
06:51no a full year before that he was already holding another woman in his arms
06:56my engagement party had never interrupted their relationship
07:00it had merely been the intermission
07:02you're standing up for your mistress now dashir

07:06have you forgotten whose club you're standing in
07:12this

07:15the lie came out so smoothly that for a moment even i admired his confidence
07:20all right dashel show me what gave you the nerve to make that claim
07:25one glance from dashir and jason came running
07:31the manager i paid 60 000 every month bent over like an obedient dog and presented him with a
07:36folder in both hands
07:38so this was no misunderstanding
07:40they had clearly rehearsed this scene before
07:54take a good look
07:56this is the ownership transfer agreement
07:59i bought this private club outright with my own money
08:02it belongs to me
08:04audrey
08:05cut the damn act
08:07the forged agreement lay at my feet
08:09and whatever warmth remained in my heart finally went cold
08:11the signature was fake
08:12the seal was not
08:13that red imprint belonged to my private seal
08:16suddenly every excuse he had made over the past few months came back to me
08:19reimbursements
08:20a new company registration
08:21documents he promised to file on my behalf
08:23i had trusted him every time
08:24he had used that trust to move my assets one by one into his own name
08:28all along
08:29he had taken me for a fool
08:31a woman he could sleep with
08:33lie to
08:34and drain dry whenever he pleased
08:41you heard him you crazy bitch
08:46he ripped across my scalp
08:48forcing my face toward the ceiling
08:50there it was
08:51the chandelier i had personally watched them install
08:54all 108 crystals
08:56how fitting
08:58every act committed beneath it today would be repaid twice over
09:16if you would still dare dodge
09:20you're the one that keeps throwing yourself at him and now you've sent your cousin to seduce him with the
09:25same cheap tricks
09:26If Mrs. Elyria hits you, you still dare dodge?
09:37As the current ripped through one side of my body, a strange thought crossed my mind.
09:42I'd approved the purchase order for those stun botons last quarter.
09:4720 of them, 860 apiece.
09:50I'd paid for every one of them, and now they were using them on me.
09:57Disgusting. She must be desperate to marry into money.
10:00First she offers herself up, then she brings her cousin along for the same thing.
10:04What a pair of shameless sluts.
10:05They may look innocent, but they're both filthy sluts underneath.
10:08Their vicious words washed over us, like filth.
10:11My cousin lunged to my neck, her whole body shaking with sobs.
10:15I clenched my fists until my nails dug into my palms, but I felt no pain.
10:19I lowered my head and used my body to shield the phone as I typed a single line.
10:23Bring the legal team. Send in the central security clear.
10:26I'd seen enough of this farce.
10:29Lock down the club. One thing had become perfectly clear, Unit.
10:32It was time to spring the trap. No one inside leaves today.
10:39Dashir mistook my silence for defeat. He thought I was too scared to fight back.
10:45Good. The more confident the prey, the deeper it walked into the trap.
10:50Grab these two trespassing slits. Get them off my property.
11:01Four guards came at us at once. I reached for my cousin, but I was too late.
11:05Her head hit the step, and blood immediately covered half her face.
11:09Then the whole room went silent. The only sound left was her sobbing.
11:15Please stop. I swear I never tried to seduce him.
11:28Dashir lit a cigarette and watched like none of this had anything to do with him.
11:33Olivia headed for the lounge. I knew she still had another card to play.
11:37She came back carrying a document and several photos of a damaged painting on top.
11:42I narrowed my eyes. Of course. Now she was going to put on an extortion show.
11:54Audrey, your cousin broke into the lounge and destroyed Dashir's prized painting, The Starry Snide.
12:00It's worth five million!
12:03The Starry Snide. Worth five million. I almost laughed.
12:06I picked that painting up at a gallery three years ago as decoration.
12:10It was a commercial piece that cost me $20,000.
12:13They couldn't even stage their little coup without using something that belonged to me.
12:18Transfer five million right now, and we'll settle this privately.
12:22Otherwise, I'm calling the police and having your cousin arrested.
12:35For those few seconds, the current tore through my body like 10,000 needles twisting between my bones.
12:42I gritted my teeth. I couldn't go down.
12:46If I did, there'd be no one left to protect my cousin.
12:52Forget about me, Audrey. Please, just save yourself.
13:02After everything they'd done to her, she was still trying to crawl in front of me and take the next
13:07hit.
13:09I took her blood-sick hand and gave it a gentle pap.
13:14Silly girl. I was fine.
13:17I was only waiting, waiting for the right moment to bury every last one of them.
13:22Five million. Fine. Then let's see who really owes whom.
13:29Five million.
13:32Alivia Dasher.
13:34You might get your hands on that money, but you won't live long enough to spend it.
13:39It wasn't an empty threat.
13:41Every word I said was about to become reality.
13:45My legal team was on its way.
13:46So was my entire security division.
13:49And these fools were still celebrating as they shoveled the last bit of dirt onto their own graves.
13:55You're about to die, and you're still running your mouth!
13:59I'll rip that mouth of yours apart.
14:01Let's see how tough you talk then!
14:07She hit me with everything she had.
14:10My ears ring, and a drop of blood struck the floor.
14:14I watched it spread.
14:16Fair enough.
14:18Every drop they spilled today would help crush them tomorrow.
14:21They had no idea how much interest this debt was about to cost them.
14:25Audrey! Audrey!
14:27Audrey!
14:28No!
14:37You're good at taking a beating, aren't you Audrey?
14:40Let's see how much longer you can last.
14:42I want all five million.
14:44If you're even one cent short, I'll strip you and your cousin naked right here!
14:52She gripped my chin and forced me to face her smug smile.
14:55But she had no idea what I could hear.
14:57Something distant, faint, getting closer.
15:03Jason, I remembered the resume he submitted when he joined us.
15:07Leave these shameless show-their-faces-in-Jing-Hai to me.
15:10By the time I'm done, they'll never dare show their faces in Jing-Hai again!
15:15One daughter, second grade, a father with a little girl of his own, and words like that still rolled right
15:21off his tongue.
15:22What are you waiting for? Do it!
15:23The young lady wants to give everyone a show, so let's help her!
15:30My shirt tore with a sound that cut through the entire room.
15:33Half my shoulder was bare.
15:35Dozens of cameras turned on me.
15:37The air was cold.
15:39But inside me, extremely langing and dangerous.
15:44And this time, there was no putting it back together.
15:48No! Please! Spare her! I'll kneel! I'll bow at your feet!
15:52She was going to kneel. For me.
15:59Elyria's stiletto came down on the back of her hand.
16:02Then twisted half a turn.
16:05I added that half turn to the ledger too.
16:12Now begging? Too late.
16:15What happened to that backbone, Audrey?
16:18That precious dignity of yours?
16:20Everyone's filming.
16:22Once this hits the internet, let's see how the Green family ever shows its face again.
16:27The Green family.
16:29She finally said it.
16:31And even now, she had no idea how much that name carried.
16:41She thought it was my weakness. It wasn't.
16:44It was the blade I'd kept sheathed all this time.
16:51Dozens of red recording lights, trained on my cousin and me like rifles taking aim.
16:55Get a good shot! This will be all over the news tomorrow!
16:57A homewrecker trying to sleep her way to the top?
16:59Strip her and let everyone see she deserves it.
17:01Not one person asked why.
17:03They didn't care about the truth.
17:06They only wanted to watch a woman break in public.
17:12And my fiancé, smoking as he admired my humiliation through the haze.
17:15The man who had shared my bed for two years, watched them tear my clothes with less emotion than he'd
17:19show at a ball game.
17:21Audrey, the entire internet is going to remember you like this!
17:26The finger hovered over the go live button. The guard reached for my collar again.
17:31Both hands came down. The roar of engines rolled toward us like thunder.
17:36Then the reinforced glass doors of my gym, the strongest ones money could buy, shattered.
17:43Oh my god, look!
17:44They all saw what was waiting outside.
17:48I didn't need to look.
17:54I was the one who had called them.
18:02Dozens of black Rolls Royce flooded in like a dark tide, sealing every exit in seconds.
18:07One Rolls Royce makes a statement.
18:10Dozens of them deliver a verdict.
18:12Every car door opened at once.
18:14Over a hundred men and guns poured out and strode across the broken glass.
18:18I counted. Within forty seconds of stepping out, they had the entire building under control.
18:23They were our family's security force.
18:25Usually tasked with guarding the business empire my father left behind.
18:29But today, they had only one person to protect.
18:40The stun batons that had made them look so powerful moments ago, now clattered to the floor.
18:45The people who had pointed their camera lenses at me like gun growls, were finally staring down real ones.
18:59What? What's going on?
19:08Someone in the crowd recognized him, and sharp gasps erupted one after again.
19:13This was Mike.
19:14This was Mike, a living legend in the business world, and the chief steward of an elite financial empire.
19:23Even Dashir's father would have to lower his head before him.
19:29Mike didn't spare Dashir a glass.
19:37He sent the manager blocking his path flying with a single kick.
19:40To him, not one person in that moon was worth stopping for.
19:46He came to a stop before me.
19:48This old man could shake all of Jinghai with a single command.
19:51Yet when he saw the blood at the corner of my mouth, his eyes instantly turned red.
20:04Miss Audrey, please forgive me for arriving so late.
20:09In that moment, you could hear a pin drop.
20:13More than a hundred people stood bowing to me.
20:17And me alone.
20:18Those who had called me a bitch now stared with their mouths hanging open.
20:22Those who had been filming me froze with their phones still raised.
20:26At last, they began to wonder who exactly they had dared to lay a hand on today.
20:36Alera collapsed on the floor.
20:41Dashir clung to the Sovasa just to keep from dropping to his knees.
20:47As I watched their face, I finally understood an old saying.
20:51The most terrifying moment in life isn't when disaster strikes.
20:55It's when you realize you brought it upon yourself.
20:58Stood and pulled my torn collar closed.
21:05Mike draped his jacket over my shoulders.
21:12From that moment on, the woman they could freely strip, slap and threaten with stun bolts no longer existed.
21:23No!
21:24This can't be happening!
21:25Some people had already accepted their fate.
21:28But there were always those determined to burn their last way out with their own hands.
21:37Her family owns some pathetic little factory.
21:39They're nothing but nouveau riche!
21:42Mike, this bitch must have lied to you!
21:48Mr. Mike, could you have the wrong person?
21:52Audrey and I were together for two years.
21:56She told me her family only ran a small business.
22:01A small business.
22:02Those were the exact words I had told him.
22:04Back then I wanted something real.
22:06I wanted him to love Audrey, not the prestige that came with the Green family name.
22:10So I hid my identity, made myself smaller.
22:13Road crowded subways with him.
22:16And ate at roadside stands.
22:22Now I realize the things I concealed were the only things a man like him could ever love.
22:27He thought I was just a sheltered rich girl with a little money.
22:30Someone he could control.
22:34That was why he dared to claim the sports car I had given him.
22:37Forge an agreement to steal my gym and flaunt another woman right in front of me.
22:41He had bet everything on me being weak.
22:44Too bad he had no idea who was sitting across the table from him.
22:48A small business.
22:58Mike gave a wave and a bodyguard stepped forward with a thick stack of documents.
23:04These were no ordinary files.
23:06They contained a complete record of everything Dasheer had lived off, taken, and stolen from me over the past two
23:13years.
23:14Every last cent was accounted for.
23:23Open your damn eyes and take a good look.
23:28This arena is the private property of Miss Audrey Green's family.
23:32She only took pity on you and let you manage it.
23:37Miss Audrey paid for that Ferrari with one of the Green family's cards.
23:41Your penthouse.
23:42Your tailored suits.
23:44Even the black card you flaunt to impress people.
23:47The Green family owns and pays for every bit of it.
23:51The truth hit him again and again, crushing his pathetic vanity to pieces.
23:56The car key he flaunted.
23:58The card he used.
24:00The forged agreement he threw in my face.
24:03Every one of them bore the same seal, Green.
24:06Without Miss Audrey, you wouldn't even be worthy of begging on the streets of Jing Hai!
24:18This is the big shot CEO everyone admired?
24:22He's been living off a woman this whole time!
24:27She paid for his car?
24:29And he was using a card linked to her family's account?
24:33How did he still have the nerve to shove that agreement in her face?
24:37Light wasn't the fastest thing in the world.
24:39Public opinion was.
24:41One minute, I was the slut.
24:43The next, he was the freeloer.
24:45Their sudden support meant nothing to me.
24:48Their cameras followed power.
24:50And now, I was the one who had it.
24:52Two four.
24:54Two four.
24:55Two four.
25:07You played the powerful tycoon for a few days.
25:11Did you really forget it was all an act.
25:32Take back everything I gave him.
25:34Leave him with nothing.
25:35Yes, ma'am.
25:43The suit, I went with him to Italy to have it custom made.
25:47The watch, I took it out of my safe and gave it to him on his birthday.
25:50The shoes, he complained that his last pair wasn't soft enough, so I had these shipped in from Paris.
25:56Now, one by one, they were coming back to me.
26:00Back to their rightful owner in under 30 seconds.
26:0430 seconds ago, he was the powerful heir everyone looked up to.
26:1030 seconds later, he was curled up in a ragged white undershirt and floral boxers,
26:15right in the middle of the place he had bragged countless times was his turf.
26:20It turned out you didn't have to lay a hand on someone to reveal what he truly was.
26:26You only had to take away everything that had never belonged to him.
26:41Please, Miss Audrey!
26:43Miss Green, have mercy!
26:45I was a blind, arrogant fool.
26:47I deserve whatever you do to me.
26:49I swear I do.
26:55The man who had held a stun baton against my waist an hour ago
26:59was now kneeling in his own urine, slapping himself across the face.
27:07I had no interest in even looking at him.
27:11The real star of today's reckoning had yet to take the stage.
27:16My gaze settled on her, my dear best friend.
27:20Five years of friendship.
27:21Three years of betrayal.
27:24A room full of witnesses and the entire recording in my pocket.
27:29Elyria, now it was your turn.
27:32Now it's time to settle accounts, my dear best friend.
27:41Dasher!
27:42Answer me!
27:44Didn't you say you were the most powerful rising star in Jinghai?
27:48You're a worthless parasite who's been living off that bitch!
27:52The bags you gave me, the watch, they were all paid for with her card!
27:57She wasn't crying because he had lied about loving her.
28:00She was crying because her bags and watch had been paid for with my card.
28:04Even at her lowest, she was remarkably honest.
28:08He cared about appearances, and she cared about money.
28:11They truly deserved each other.
28:27This is all your fault, you slut!
28:29You seduced me!
28:36If she hadn't drugged my mink and manipulated me every night, I never would have betrayed you.
28:41Audrey, you have to believe me.
28:42You're the only woman I love.
28:45She made me do it!
28:48To save his own skin, he sold out the woman he'd been sleeping with for three years in a single
28:52second.
28:54You're the only woman I love.
28:56He delivered it with complete sincerity, tears appearing right on Chuk.
28:59Too bad he was the one who confirmed their third anniversary, and the one who called her baby over speakerphone.
29:06If you're going to become an actor, at least get your story straight first.
29:22You freeloading piece of shit!
29:24I gave you three years of my life, and now you want to throw me under the bus?
29:30I'll rip you to pieces!
29:38A minute ago, these true lovers had planned to livestream my humiliation together.
29:43Now they were rolling across the floor, clawing each other half to death.
29:47The best thing about watching two vicious dogs turn on each other?
29:51No script required.
29:53They put on the whole show themselves.
30:13The bodyguards brought over a chair and placed it in the center of the gym.
30:17I sat down, crossed my legs, and enjoyed the disgusting spectacle.
30:22An hour ago, I had been kicked to my knees in this exact spot.
30:26Now I was sitting, and they were kneeling.
30:28How quickly the tables could turn, faster than anyone expected.
30:33Are you done?
30:47Alista, you want to live like a socialite?
30:49That's your choice.
30:50But wearing my couture gowns to galas.
30:53Posing as a wealthy socialite online and jewelry worth a fortune.
30:56And even using my personal seal without her permission.
30:59To sign the contract for that oceanfront villa you live in.
31:03So this?
31:04So this is the socialite life you're so proud of?
31:12She remembered every item I named.
31:15After all, she had posted every stolen outfit and everything she had used without permission
31:20on social media.
31:22Her caption was always, hard-working girls get lucky.
31:28She certainly had.
31:30She got away with it for five whole years before I caught her.
31:35No!
31:36Those were gifts!
31:37You're filthy rich, so what if you gave me a little of what you had?
31:48Gifts?
31:55Whether they counted as gifts wasn't up to me or her.
31:59That was for the law to decide.
32:03And my legal team never took a case without the evidence to win it.
32:09Miss Lin, based on the evidence we have collected, you illegally stole and misappropriated 18
32:15million yen worth of Mrs. Song's personal property over the past three years.
32:19This includes three limited-edition couture gowns, five pieces of high-end jewelry, and operating
32:25funds you misappropriated from one of the Song Group's gyms by abusing your position.
32:34We are now formally initiating legal proceedings against you on charges of theft and embezzlement.
32:4418 million.
32:46The moment that number was read aloud, the entire room gasped.
32:49But I was doing a different calculation.
32:52Five years of friendship, three years of theft.
32:55For at least three years, she had woken up every morning thinking about how to squeeze a little more out
32:59of me.
33:00And I hadn't suspected a thing.
33:04It wasn't because she was such a good actress.
33:07It was because I had trusted her like a sister.
33:12You'll return everything you took, and then you'll spend years behind bars answering for every last cent of that debt.
33:22Olivia, Dashir, I thought you two were so deeply in love.
33:29I do hope you'll remain this devoted to each other when you face off in court.
33:46That settled the money.
33:48But we weren't done yet.
33:50What came next was the debt that truly mattered.
33:55A debt of blood.
34:04We've settled the money.
34:05Now let's settle the debt.
34:07Paid in blood.
34:10My cousin's blood hadn't even dried the gash on her forehead.
34:13One side of her face swollen.
34:15The back of her hand crushed beneath a stiletto heel.
34:21A legal notice couldn't settle those debts.
34:24But it didn't have to.
34:25The law could.
34:34Mrs. Green, everything that just happened was recorded and preserved as evidence.
34:44No!
34:45That's impossible!
34:46I had the manager turn off the security cameras!
34:49I deleted all the footage in the control room myself!
34:53Did you hear that?
34:54I already deleted it.
34:57In front of more than a hundred witnesses, she added destruction of evidence to her own list of offenses.
35:02With her own words.
35:04Sometimes you don't have to outsmart a fool.
35:07You just have to hand her the microphone.
35:16Alizia, you did bribe the manager to shut down the main surveillance system.
35:21But you forgot about the concealed cameras built into the independent smoke detectors in every blind spot of this building.
35:28They were installed during the fire safety inspection.
35:31They were installed during the fire safety inspection and their footage feeds directly to the security company.
35:38The control room can't access those recordings.
35:41And neither can you.
35:46I had personally overseen the construction of this building.
35:49I knew where every pipe and every camera had been installed better than I knew the blueprints themselves.
35:55After all her careful planning, she had only disabled the part I had allowed her to see.
36:04The police were here.
36:05Red and blue lights swept back and forth across their faces.
36:09Most people go their entire lives without knowing what it feels like to have police lights flashing over them.
36:14Today, they found out.
36:24Audrey, I'm sorry.
36:26I swear, I just lost my head.
36:35That slut seduced me.
36:36She told me your family only owns some rundown little factory.
36:40She said you weren't good enough for me.
36:42Audrey, for the sake of the two years we had, please forgive me just this once.
36:47I'll be your dog.
36:48Shh.
36:49Just don't let me go to prison.
36:51I'm begging you.
36:53Did you hear that?
36:54She said you weren't good enough for me.
36:56Even now, on his knees, what he regretted wasn't betraying me.
36:59It was not knowing how rich I was.
37:01He wasn't kneeling to me.
37:08Audrey!
37:10We're best friends.
37:11Don't you remember?
37:13I took care of you when you were sick.
37:16I was just blinded by jealousy for a moment.
37:20I really did see you as my own sister.
37:23She said she had seen me as her own sister.
37:25Yet the hand wrapped around my leg was still wearing my engagement ring.
37:29She had taken care of me once when I was sick.
37:31That much was true.
37:32That was also when she memorized the location of the safe in my house.
37:36Sisters?
37:52I put everything I had into that kick.
37:55The slap she gave my cousin.
37:57The way she ground her heel into the back of her hand.
38:00And her threat to strip her naked for the whole city to see.
38:04Every last bit of it.
38:06I have plenty of friends.
38:08But you're the first to sleep with my man.
38:10Lay a hand on my family?
38:12And try to strip me naked?
38:14You think our past still matters?
38:16It stopped mattering the second you teamed up to humiliate my cousin.
38:20Five years of friendship.
38:22Two years by my fiancé's side.
38:24I had given them both my whole heart.
38:25But some bonds are porcelain.
38:27They broke ours themselves.
38:28So I owed them no hesitation when I threw away the pieces.
38:43The police came in.
38:44And cold steel closed around their wrists.
38:47And around their last hope.
38:48The click was quiet.
38:49Yet it drowned out every scream that had come before it.
38:52Those cuffs didn't just bind their hands.
38:54They sealed away the rest of their lives.
38:56Audrey! Please! I don't want to go to prison!
38:59Audrey, I hope you die screaming.
39:02You hear me? Die screaming!
39:04I thought you two were truly in love.
39:07Perfect.
39:09You'll have all the time in the world
39:11to keep loving each other in prison.
39:14Now you can finally be the star-crossed lovers you were always meant to be.
39:19The police cars pulled away.
39:21But if they thought this was the end,
39:23they had seriously underestimated me.
39:25For them, the curtain was only just rising on the real hell.
39:32Mike, spread the word.
39:35Effective immediately.
39:36Dashir is blacklisted across the board.
39:38Finance, real estate, every industry in Jinghai.
39:41Anyone who hires him is choosing to make an enemy of the Green Group.
39:44In less than ten minutes, the elite social circle Dashir had worked so hard to build around his overseas credentials
39:50imploded.
39:51The moment the Green Group's notice arrived, his former business partners blocked him like he was contagious.
39:56His accounts were frozen.
39:58His supplementary cards were cancelled.
40:00The network he had spent two years building vanished in ten minutes.
40:03Dashir's bankrupt father had relied on my connections to secure the few investments he managed to get.
40:08Now he was on his knees at the Green Group's front steps.
40:11He used to brag that his son had struck gold by landing a wealthy Iris.
40:15He never imagined how hard the fall would be once that connection disappeared.
40:21Without the Green family shielding him, every loan shark debt Dashir had run up, and every lawsuit he had buried
40:28through intimidation came roaring back.
40:30His creditors stormed the Goo family mansion like sharks scenting blood.
40:35His precious upper-class lifestyle lasted less than an hour before shattering.
40:40They say you only find out who's been swimming naked when the tide goes out.
40:45In Dashir's case, even the swimtrouts were rented.
40:52Now, make clean house.
41:00Miss Green!
41:01I know I screwed up!
41:04I swear I'll never do it again!
41:06Please, just treat me like I'm nothing and let me go!
41:11Let you go?
41:16Jason, over the past three years you embezzled 4.8 million yen by manipulating the gym's procurement accounts.
41:22Today, you also joined Dashir in assaulting and humiliating the Green family's heir.
41:28You will be held accountable for both.
41:304.8 million yen.
41:31He bought a stun baton for 8.60 and billed the company 2,400.
41:36I'd known for a long time.
41:38I simply chose not to remove him.
41:40Better a thief whose greed I could see, than a replacement who knew how to hide it.
41:46Unfortunately for Jason, he used up the last of his value today.
41:51Enjoy spending the rest of your life working behind bars.
41:55At 4.8 million yen, you'll be paying for this until the day you die.
42:11You're all fired.
42:13You won't receive a single cent in wages.
42:16Don't think you can just go somewhere else and pull the same stunts.
42:20Your faces and Miss Convict records have been added to an industry-wide blacklist.
42:24No reputable property management or security company will ever hire you again.
42:30You couldn't control those hands, so from now on, use them to haul bricks for a living.
42:35In less than half an hour, the entire gym had been cleaned out, inside and out.
42:41Every last snob who had looked down on others was gone.
42:44That's my rule. Repay kindness tenfold.
42:47And if someone bears their claws at me, tear them out by the roots.
42:57Don't cry.
43:02We avenge every wrong and settle every score.
43:05And tomorrow, I have something even more interesting in store for them.
43:17Close the floor.
43:20Once I'd cleaned up the mess at the gym, I took my cousin straight to the most exclusive mall in
43:25Jinghai.
43:26She was still in her torn clothes, wrapped in my coat.
43:29Some wounds need a doctor, others need a big sister.
43:32I'll take this entire rack, that entire rack, and every piece of the season's couture over there.
43:39All in her size.
43:46Also, bring out the limited edition Mermaid's Tears jewelry set.
43:49My sister was badly frightened earlier.
43:51Consider this something to soothe her nerves.
44:00Sis, this is too expensive. I can't accept it.
44:06Take it.
44:09I kept you away from the Green family.
44:12Because I wanted you to live an ordinary life.
44:16But now that your identity is out, everyone will know exactly who you are.
44:20My sister.
44:22Audrey Green's sister.
44:26If anyone touches so much as a hair on your head, I'll take their life.
44:35We kept her identity hidden all these years so she could be an ordinary girl who never had to watch
44:40her back.
44:40But today, I realize that kindness without power or status only gives cruel people a weapon to use against you.
44:48Since the truth can no longer stay hidden, she'll live a different life now.
44:52From this day forward, the green name will be her lifelong armor.
45:10This is the deed to the 200 square meter luxury apartment next to the gym.
45:14It has a river view.
45:16It has a river view.
45:16You'll live there from now on.
45:18It's close to the gym.
45:19And the security is top tier.
45:23I never want to see you hurt again.
45:26Not even a scratch.
45:30She clutched the deed, crying until her eyes were red and swollen.
45:34But I knew these tears were different.
45:38Earlier, she had cried from humiliation.
45:40Now, she was crying because she finally knew she had someone powerful standing behind her.
45:45A mountain no one could move.
45:50Three days later, at detention center.
45:52Three days was all it took to turn the once promising golden boy with an overseas degree into the wreck
45:57before me.
45:58The moment he saw me, there was no remorse in his eyes.
46:04He hurled himself at the glass as a drowning man reaching for a lifeline.
46:10Audrey, they made me do it!
46:12You have to save me!
46:16That bitch Elyria is trying to cut a deal.
46:19She blamed me for every fraudulent loan we took out through those shell companies.
46:22She told them I planned the whole thing.
46:25Audrey, get me a lawyer and I'll give you all the evidence I have of her tax evasion.
46:31See?
46:32Even now, the first thing out of his mouth was a deal.
46:36Elyria's crimes, in exchange for a way to save himself.
46:40He seemed to have forgotten that the last person he betrayed for his own benefit was...
46:45Sitting right across the glass.
46:51Olivia signed this ten minutes ago.
46:53She turned over every piece of evidence, proving you used the company to defraud investors.
46:58According to her, you were the real mastermind behind the plot, to seize my assets.
47:06Dashir, she was so desperate to earn a lighter sentence, that she even handed over a recording of you talking
47:13in your sleep about killing me.
47:20Elyria, you fucking bitch! I'll kill you!
47:23Sorry, don't believe her! She's going down too! I reported her as well!
47:26The Ledger's documented years of embezzlement and money laundering are hidden in the cellar beneath her old family home!
47:33Talking in his sleep about killing me? I hadn't known about that until today, for two years.
47:38I had slept beside a man who spent his waking hours plotting to take my assets, and even dreamed of
47:43having me dead.
47:45Now he and his true love were racing to destroy each other.
47:49I didn't have to press either of them for a single word.
47:53All I had to do was make one trip between the two interrogation rooms.
48:05Dashir had nothing left to bargain with.
48:07Now, let's see what Olivia was willing to offer.
48:13Three days ago, she wore my pink diamond, ground her heel into my cousin's hand, and vowed to make me
48:19the laughing stock of the entire city.
48:22In just three days, the glamorous future trophy wife had been reduced to this.
48:27Yet I felt no satisfaction at seeing her downfall come early.
48:32Because I knew the cruelest blow wouldn't have to come from me.
48:39That bitch would do anything to claw her way to the top.
48:42She's even been seeing other men...
48:45...behind my back.
48:49Dashir!
48:51You heartless bastard!
48:53Audrey, if he wants to destroy me, then I'll destroy him first!
48:57His whole overseas educated success story is a lie!
49:00He bought his degrees!
49:02He was even involved in a death overseas.
49:06Get me out of here, and I'll tell you the secret that can bring him down for good!
49:10He took the bought degree.
49:11A death he was involved in overseas.
49:13My former fiancé, everything I thought I knew about him had been a lie.
49:18And the woman exposing it all was the true love who had once swore to love him forever.
49:25Now they were trading each other's darkest secrets faster than they had ever exchanged words of love.
49:31That won't be necessary.
49:32You've already given them enough evidence against each other to spend the rest of your lives in prison.
49:38Dashir sold you out for tax evasion to protect himself.
49:42And you accused him of murder overseas to get a lighter sentence.
49:45Alara, Dashir, the moment prison bars closed around you, that true love of yours turned out to be worth nothing.
49:54Enjoy spending the rest of your lives tearing each other apart.
50:03I stepped out of the detention center into the blinding sunlight.
50:07Behind me, their desperate screams and curses rang out.
50:11The sweetest words of love I had ever heard.
50:13My revenge had reached the point where I no longer needed to do anything at all.
50:17From beginning to end, they had destroyed themselves.
50:23One month later, it was sentencing day.
50:31I made sure I was there.
50:32Some endings have to be witnessed in person before you can truly turn the page.
50:36Defendant Dashir, having been convicted of large-scale fraud, embezzlement, and intentional bodily harm,
50:43is hereby sentenced to a combined term of 15 years in prison,
50:47and ordered to pay 24 million yuan in civil damages.
50:53Defendant Elysia, having been convicted of theft, provoking disturbance, and filing malicious false accusations,
51:00is hereby sentenced to 12 years in prison.
51:02Her illegal gains shall be confiscated, and she is ordered to repay 10 million yuan in outstanding debts.
51:1812 years? My whole life is ruined!
51:22Dashir, you bastard! This is all your fault!
51:29You think you have the right to complain?
51:31If it weren't for your endless greed, I'd still be marrying into the Green family!
51:35You bitch! Even if I die, I'll never let you off!
51:39No!
51:39No!
51:40Even at the very end, neither of them expressed a single word of remorse.
51:45She blamed him for ruining her life.
51:47He blamed her insatiable greed.
51:50From beginning to end, the only people they never blamed were themselves.
51:55No! No! No! No! No!
52:02What awaited them were years without sunlight behind bars, and a crushing mountain of debt they could never repay, even
52:09after their release.
52:12At that moment, the lives they had known came to an end.
52:21As I walked out of the courthouse, I suddenly thought back to that weekend three months ago.
52:25All I had wanted was to play a game at my own gym.
52:28Everything that followed was another game, one they had forced me to play.
52:31Now the final score was in.
52:39One month later, I returned to the gym.
52:42The same entrance.
52:44The same floor.
52:46The last time I was here, my cousin had been beaten bloody.
52:50This time, she stood at the center of it all.
52:54And she was the one in charge.
52:56Sis, our gym has secured the exclusive rights to host next week's Youth Badminton Open.
53:01Well done.
53:03This gym is your battlefield now.
53:05Don't ever let anyone come in here and push you around again.
53:10She was no longer the frightened little girl who used to treble behind me.
53:14Now, whenever the Greens spoke of her, they called her a rising star in the business world.
53:19Where she once bled, she had forged her own armor.
53:23And that was more precious than anything I could ever give her.
53:33Ms. Green, these are the final liquidation reports for the Wang and Lin families.
53:37Hounded by creditors, Dasheer's father has moved to a runt-down neighborhood on the outskirts.
53:42Hilaria's parents couldn't repay their debts, and they're being forcibly evacuated under a court order as we speak.
53:48Very well.
53:51With the trash finally cleared away, even the air felt cleaner.
53:55I once believed love and friendship were essential to life.
53:58Now I understood that they were merely pastimes the powerful could afford in their spare time.
54:03A man? A best friend?
54:06In the face of absolute power and wealth, those bonds were no stronger than a sheet of paper.
54:11The Audrey who lowered herself and hit her brilliance for Dasheer was gone.
54:16She died in the arena with that slap, and with the word baby that came through the speakerphone.
54:22The Audrey who survived was the one and only ruler of Green Group.
54:26The queen of an entire business empire.
54:29Ms. Green, the legal and finance teams are ready for your 8 o'clock international video conference.
54:35I had no interest in finding another man.
54:38My life was already extraordinary enough on its own.
54:42The curtain was only just rising on the most glorious act act of my life.
54:48Thefrage man, I was warning my pastéricordation.
54:49My newfoundation has become a breeze calledRCAP.
