00:00My sister was injured and lost her memory. She forgot everyone except my husband, Carter Hayes. She believed he was
00:07her boyfriend. My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway, clutching my arm and begging me to give Carter
00:13back to my sister.
00:17It's only temporary. Once her memory comes back, everything will go back to normal.
00:20But he didn't know that the moment he nodded, some things could never go back.
00:26Chloe, you should move out for now. Claire can't handle any stimulation.
00:31I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her. It's not convenient for you to stay.
00:36What if Clara never gets her memory back? Are you planning to play along with her forever?
00:40She's your sister. She's in terrible shape right now. Just give her some space.
00:46Go pack. Don't take too much. I'll have someone deal with the rest.
00:49He walked into the living room and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.
00:52Take that too. Clara doesn't like this style. I'll buy you a new one another day.
00:56That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.
00:58For five years of marriage, I wiped it clean every week.
01:01So in his eyes, it had been ready to throw away all along.
01:04Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.
01:08I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.
01:10When I came back, the designer had already arrived.
01:14Carter was giving instructions.
01:16Persian cashmere rugs.
01:18Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.
01:21He went into the study and tore down my sticky notes one by one, crumpled them, and tossed them into
01:28the trash.
01:30Clear out all the sticky notes you left.
01:32Your sister knows your handwriting. Don't make her overthink.
01:35I stood in the entryway, watching the home I had lived in for five years slowly turn into another woman's.
01:40It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.
01:42He just didn't have time for me.
01:43I turned to leave.
01:44As I passed the study, I caught sight of a half-open drawer.
01:47Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn.
01:49The scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.
01:51I thought he had thrown it away.
01:52I reached out to pull the drawer open.
01:54Chloe, why are you still here?
01:59I didn't answer.
02:00I picked up the bag that held only a few changes of clothes,
02:03and walked out of the house that had once been mine.
02:09At the gate, I texted a real estate agent I hadn't contacted in a long time.
02:15Find me an apartment downtown as soon as possible.
02:18Don't tell my husband.
02:23When I checked into the Marriott downtown, Carter called.
02:27There's a college reunion tonight.
02:29Our old professor will be there.
02:31I'll take you and your sister.
02:33Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.
02:34He hung up after that without the slightest concern for me.
02:39That evening, I returned to my own home as a guest.
02:42Carter opened the door.
02:45The therapist said familiar things could help Clara recover.
02:49I didn't respond.
02:51A sour ache spread through my chest.
02:54Clara came downstairs, linked her arm through Carter's, and smiled at me.
02:59Chloe, you're still the same as in college.
03:02Always tagging along.
03:03All right.
03:04Stop teasing her.
03:10Stanford.
03:11Carter led Clara across the main quad.
03:15Remember freshman year at the football game?
03:17We were chosen as squad leaders.
03:19We secretly held hands, and someone posted the photo on the forum.
03:23Of course I remember.
03:25And the spring formal.
03:27We hosted it together.
03:29Chloe was there too, right?
03:30I was.
03:32In the audience.
03:34Back then, they were upstairs.
03:36I was below it.
03:37Even after I married Carter, I was still the invisible person in their story.
03:42In the private dining room, our classmates started cheering.
03:45The party queen and the fraternity president are here.
03:48Still holding hands?
03:50When are we getting invitations?
03:53I thought I heard Carter was married.
03:58You must have heard wrong, professor.
04:00I'm not married.
04:02Not yet.
04:04But soon.
04:07I looked away and took a sip of wine.
04:10It tasted bitter.
04:11After a few rounds of drinks, a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.
04:15Chloe, are you seeing anyone?
04:17I always wanted to ask you out back in college.
04:22I'm married.
04:23I've been married for five years.
04:28That was when I suddenly understood I had signed my own ticket to hell.
04:38You're married?
04:39To who?
04:42Her husband is a programmer at my company.
04:44He probably has to work late tonight.
04:47Right.
04:47That makes sense.
04:48No offense, but you and your sister were never on the same level.
04:53Chloe, you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime.
05:00Sure.
05:02When there's a chance.
05:05I couldn't sit there any longer, so I excused myself to the restroom.
05:09I was about to go back when I turned and met Carter's eyes.
05:12He had followed me out.
05:14Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.
05:16Give me the keys.
05:18What about me?
05:19It's pouring outside.
05:20If you take the car, how am I supposed to get back?
05:23My car is with the driver for maintenance.
05:25Clara's in bad shape.
05:26Give her some space.
05:27Wait for an Uber.
05:29Give.
05:30Since we were children, I gave Clara everything she wanted.
05:34I gave and gave until I even gave away my husband.
05:37I waited in the restaurant until closing, but no Uber accepted the ride.
05:42It was past midnight when I finally hailed a car.
05:46I had just gotten in when my phone buzzed.
05:48It was a work message from Carter.
05:50The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.
05:52Go to the office and handle it.
05:54I was still his executive assistant.
05:56I told the driver to head to the office, but one encrypted key needed for the project was in his
06:00study.
06:01He didn't answer my calls.
06:03He didn't reply to my messages.
06:05I had no choice but to go home.
06:08No one answered the doorbell, so I entered the passcode and pushed the door open.
06:19Why are you here?
06:20Didn't I tell you not to come back before Clara recovers her memory?
06:23If she finds out about us, everything will be for nothing.
06:26I took out my phone and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.
06:30The project you told me to handle needs the key file.
06:33You didn't answer a single call.
06:37So helping Clara recover her memory requires taking your clothes off.
06:41My clothes got wet.
06:43You've always been sensible.
06:45Don't make a fuss over something so small.
06:47I'm sensible.
06:48So I deserve to swallow every grievance.
06:50To wait all night in the rain for a ride.
06:52To be called into work in the middle of the night.
06:55To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.
06:57For the first time, I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter was not just my youth, but myself.
07:02I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.
07:04Go get the file from the study.
07:06Be quiet.
07:13I stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway.
07:17Then I went into the study and got the key file.
07:20But I was so tired.
07:21I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
07:24So the first thing I printed at the printer wasn't the proposal.
07:28It was my resignation letter.
07:32Near dawn, I sent the real estate agent a second message.
07:35Have you settled the apartment?
07:37I need to move in within the next two days.
07:40At daybreak, I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes and was about to return to the hotel.
07:46Clara found our marriage certificate.
07:48She's threatening to jump.
07:49Come back now.
07:50My mother's call came right after.
07:51Why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out?
07:53You just can't stand to see your sister happy.
07:56Can't you apologize for once?
07:57If anything happens to Clara, don't ever call me your mother again.
08:08I wasn't even surprised anymore.
08:10Ever since we were children, whenever Clara was unhappy, I was the one who got blamed.
08:15I rushed to the community.
08:17I had barely reached the police line when Clara pointed at me and screamed.
08:21How could you marry behind my back at City Hall?
08:26The two people I loved most betrayed me together.
08:29Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.
08:34Ah!
08:40Before I could even breathe, a powerful force slammed into me.
08:45I had just propped myself up.
08:48I don't know someone like you!
08:50I don't have a daughter like you!
08:57My hands shook as I called 911.
08:59Then everything went black.
09:03When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed.
09:06You were a little over six weeks pregnant.
09:08You've just had a miscarriage.
09:10We'll keep you under observation for an hour.
09:13After observation ended, I took my medication and slowly walked out.
09:17In the second floor hallway, I ran into Carter.
09:21Your sister has been traumatized.
09:23She can't see you right now.
09:26My mother and I will take good care of her.
09:28Of course I knew.
09:29And once again, he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.
09:33If he cared even a little, he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.
09:37I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist.
09:39There's something else I need to tell you.
09:42Let's get divorced.
09:43Carter kept his grip on my wrist, speaking quickly, as if afraid I wouldn't agree.
09:47Chloe, I'm not really leaving you.
09:49The divorce is only temporary.
09:51Claire's condition is terrible right now.
09:53I just want to put her mind at ease.
09:54I pulled my hand back and cut him off.
09:57No need to explain.
09:59I agree.
10:00Even if he hadn't brought it up, I had already prepared the divorce papers.
10:03The lawyer arrived quickly.
10:13From now on, whatever happened between Carter and Clara had nothing to do with me.
10:18I tried to push open the stairwell door.
10:28I immediately pulled back and walked quickly out of the stairwell.
10:33His voice came from behind me, carrying a hint of surprise.
10:37But why are your hands so cold?
10:39Are you not feeling well?
10:41Why is your face so pale?
10:44I'm just tired.
10:46If there's nothing else, I'm going back to the hotel.
10:48But Carter thought I was trying to be brave.
10:51He took my hand and sighed.
10:52I only asked the lawyer to get a preliminary filing from the court to show Clara.
10:57Before the judge signs the final decree, I'll withdraw the petition.
11:01Don't overthink it.
11:02But I truly wanted the divorce.
11:04He assumed I was throwing a tantrum and pulled me outside.
11:08We haven't eaten together in a long time.
11:10My mother is taking care of Clara.
11:12Let's have a meal.
11:13He took me to a restaurant near the hospital.
11:16During the meal, he served food onto my plate, which was rare for him.
11:19Eat more.
11:20You've lost a lot of weight lately.
11:21His concern came too suddenly.
11:23It only made me lose my appetite.
11:26After only a few bites, I put down my fork and looked up at him.
11:29Is there something else you want to say?
11:34Chloe.
11:36Clara said she wants a wedding.
11:38The doctor said fulfilling her wishes may help her recover her memory,
11:41so I'm planning to hold a fake one with her.
11:44I hope you won't mind.
11:48Fine.
11:49Go ahead.
11:51He had probably prepared a long speech to persuade me.
11:54He didn't expect me to agree so easily.
11:56Thank you, Chloe.
11:57After dinner, Carter's lawyer returned from court and reported the next steps in the divorce process.
12:02In front of me, Carter specifically instructed the lawyer.
12:06When the judge is close to finalizing the case, make sure you remind me to withdraw the petition.
12:14I stood up.
12:16You two talk.
12:17I'm tired.
12:18I'm going back to the hotel.
12:21I'll drive you.
12:22No.
12:23Handle your business.
12:27Once I left the restaurant, I hailed a cab.
12:29After I got in, I called my lawyer.
12:31Hello, this is Chloe.
12:33I'd like to ask whether the divorce case just filed can be expedited.
12:36I'm preparing to leave California.
12:38Ms. Davis, since you and Mr. Hayes have both signed the settlement agreement and there are no disputes,
12:43we can apply to the judge for an expedited decree.
12:46The final judgment can be issued within 72 hours.
12:50Good.
12:51Thank you.
12:54I hung up, leaned back in the seat, and slowly closed my eyes.
12:59It was the agent sending the apartment address along with one line,
13:02A New Life.
13:04I repeated those three words silently.
13:06Then, I opened my phone and blocked Carter's number.
13:09On the other side, Carter stayed at the hospital with Clara.
13:12All the work fell on me.
13:14I had to finish everything before I left.
13:17After three straight days of overtime, I finally completed all the projects on my desk.
13:23It was Carter's assistant.
13:24Ma'am, please lie down in Mr. Hayes' lounge for a bit.
13:27I'll handle the wrap-up.
13:29My heart was beating abnormally fast.
13:33I didn't refuse.
13:39I was wearing a camisole and turned to look.
13:41When Clara burst through the door, I was standing in the lounge in a camisole.
13:47What are you doing here?
13:48Chloe, do you have no shame?
13:50You're seducing your own sister's husband,
13:52and now you've followed him all the way to the office?
13:57Are you that desperate for a man?
14:00Carter and I are in!
14:02Carter and I are getting married!
14:04No matter how hard you throw yourself at him, he won't even look at you!
14:12A Stanford graduate, lowering herself to be someone's assistant.
14:16She brings private chef salads every day.
14:18And if the boss coughs once, she practically buys out the pharmacy.
14:20Turns out she's just a mistress.
14:33Carter, I saw her taking off her clothes in your lounge.
14:35She was trying to seduce you.
14:37Fire her, okay?
14:38I break myself against the floor, trying to explain.
14:40But his voice came faster, colder, like a blade coming down.
14:44Fine.
14:44I'll fire Chloe right now.
14:46He confirmed in public that I was morally corrupt.
14:51With that one cut, he had destroyed my career in this industry.
14:58The pain in my soul drowned out every injury on my body.
15:01My mother rushed in.
15:04Chloe!
15:05Carter is your sister's husband!
15:07Get out!
15:08I don't want to see your face again!
15:16I lifted my head and looked at Carter.
15:19Secretary Davis, pack your things and leave the company now.
15:29Fine.
15:30I'll go.
15:33Carter, Clara, Mrs. Davis.
15:35Remember this.
15:36I, Chloe, have never done anything to betray any of you.
15:40You are the ones who wronged me.
15:42You are the ones who failed me.
15:43From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other.
15:50I no longer wanted to hear it.
15:52Under my colleague's contemptuous stares,
15:54I walked out of the company step by step.
15:59Just as I left the building,
16:00Carter's assistant pulled up in front of me.
16:04Ma'am, Mr. Hayes asked me to take you back to the hotel.
16:07I was in terrible pain, so I got in.
16:13Sir still cares about you.
16:14He didn't mean to fire you.
16:16He only had to wrong you because of Miss Clara's condition.
16:20This card is tied to a $10 million trust fund.
16:25There's no P.I.
16:26Spend it however you like.
16:28In five years of marriage,
16:29this was the first bouquet of flowers I had ever received from him.
16:32I had wanted it so badly once.
16:35Now, looking at it, I only found it ironic.
16:37But I still took the card.
16:39I'll consider it compensation for five years of my youth.
16:43When I returned to the hotel,
16:45the front desk called out to me,
16:47Miss Davis, you have a package?
16:50I opened it.
16:54I clutched the decree in my hand.
16:56The heart that had been suspended in my chest for so long
16:59finally settled back into place.
17:01I booked a flight to Montana.
17:03I had just finished booking it when Carter called.
17:06Chloe, what happened today was only because I was afraid of triggering Clara.
17:09I've already contacted doctors at Johns Hopkins.
17:11In a month at most, I'll be back by your side.
17:13I told you, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
17:19Are you angry?
17:21I'll come to the hotel later and stay with you.
17:23Once Clara gets better, we'll have a real wedding.
17:25He was bringing up something long expired,
17:27and somehow he didn't find it ridiculous.
17:29Are you free right now?
17:30There's something I need to give you.
17:32If you're not, I can send it to the office.
17:35I knew you were always understanding.
17:38Wait for me.
17:38I'll come over now.
17:40I thought he would stay with Clara and refuse to come.
17:44But I would never wait for him again.
17:47After hanging up, I immediately packed my bags and checked out.
17:50I placed the divorce decree in a gift box and handed it to the hotel manager.
17:54Carter Hayes will be here soon.
17:55Please make sure this is handed to him personally.
18:01Then I got into a taxi to the airport.
18:04I deleted every chat record on my phone
18:07and removed the wedding ring from my ring finger.
18:11I put the ring into my bag,
18:13leaned back against the seat,
18:15and closed my eyes.
18:17It was warm.
18:21Long after I left,
18:22a Maybox stopped at the hotel entrance.
18:28Ms. Chloe asked before she checked out
18:30that this be handed directly to you.
18:39He had clearly instructed the lawyer
18:41to withdraw the petition before the final judgment.
18:44The review period wasn't even over yet.
18:48Carter, our wedding is tomorrow.
18:50Will you come with me to try on wedding dresses?
18:53All right.
18:54I'm coming back now.
18:57After hanging up,
18:58he called his assistant,
19:00his voice low.
19:01What did the Johns Hopkins doctor say?
19:03The doctor said he can't treat
19:05Miss Clara's condition.
19:06He believes there's nothing wrong with her.
19:09The Stanford specialist also said
19:11her brain scan shows no signs of trauma.
19:13If she's faking amnesia,
19:14it could constitute medical fraud.
19:18She had been lying to him all along.
19:21Those perfectly timed recoveries,
19:23those emotional breakdowns
19:25that always happened right when Chloe appeared.
19:27He had never thought too deeply about them.
19:30He returned home.
19:33I spoke to the doctors.
19:36You never lost your memory.
19:42Carter, I don't know what you're talking about.
19:44Stop pretending.
19:46Chloe is gone.
19:48I'm done playing along with this show.
19:51He turned to me.
19:53I only did it because I love you so much.
19:57Since you two are already divorced,
19:59why don't we...
20:01We ended a long time ago.
20:03I have only one wife,
20:05and that's Chloe.
20:07Since your illness was fake,
20:10this ends here too.
20:16He walked out without looking back.
20:20Before his plane landed in Montana,
20:22I went to the cathedral in San Francisco.
20:25I asked the priest to light a prayer candle
20:28for the child who never had the chance to be born.
20:35I knelt before the pew,
20:36hands clasped,
20:37eyes closed.
20:39I only hoped that in his next life,
20:42he would be born into a complete family,
20:44with loving parents,
20:45warm embraces,
20:46and a lamp that would always be left on for him.
20:50After that,
20:51I flew to Big Sky, Montana.
20:53The ranch in Montana was peaceful
20:55and far from the world.
20:56I settled in.
20:58During the day,
20:59I wandered with the sheepdogs.
21:01At night,
21:02I sat on the porch
21:03and watched the stars.
21:06Until one day,
21:08a car stopped at the ranch entrance.
21:15Why did you come out of state without telling me?
21:18I was worried about your safety.
21:21Didn't you see the divorce decree?
21:22We're divorced.
21:23Where I go has nothing to do with you.
21:27Chloe,
21:28are you angry because I held a wedding with Clara?
21:30I only did it so her condition would improve faster.
21:32What happens between you and Clara
21:34has nothing to do with me.
21:35I don't care what you two do.
21:38The feelings I had as a girl
21:39had been worn down by this broken marriage
21:41until only disgust remained.
21:43Chloe,
21:44I never actually wanted to divorce you.
21:47In my heart,
21:48you've always been a good wife.
21:49I wasn't a good wife.
21:51I was a good NAMI.
21:52If you need a NAMI,
21:53hire one.
21:54I took care of you for free all these years.
21:56You should be satisfied.
22:03We should have ended long ago.
22:06When I went downstairs,
22:07only old Bill the cowboy
22:08was in the living room.
22:09I had just breathed a sigh of relief
22:11when he spoke.
22:12There's a man from California
22:13asking to stay here.
22:14He says his wife can't handle
22:15regular fast food.
22:16Is he your husband?
22:17No.
22:18The words had barely left my mouth
22:20when the kitchen door opened.
22:24I remember you used to love
22:25handmade pasta.
22:27I learned how to make it for you.
22:31So Carter knew how to cook.
22:34But in five years of marriage,
22:36he had never cooked
22:37a single meal for me.
22:39We had never truly known each other.
22:42I'm not hungry.
22:45The Montana night sky
22:47was dazzling with stars.
22:50Footsteps sounded behind me.
22:56Chloe, it's dark.
22:57Where are you going?
22:58Can you stay away from me?
23:00I already stepped aside
23:01for you and Clara.
23:04What else do you want?
23:07Claire and I ended a long time ago.
23:09She was pretending to have amnesia,
23:11saying she had headaches.
23:12She's her sister after all.
23:14So you took care of her
23:15all the way into bed?
23:17Took care of her
23:18until I became known
23:19to everyone as the mistress
23:20who destroyed someone else's home?
23:27I looked at him,
23:29my voice very soft.
23:30Carter, I know you can't
23:31forget my sister.
23:33I've given up that place.
23:35From now on,
23:36we go our separate ways.
23:37Don't come after me again.
23:41I got up and walked
23:42into the night.
23:43I sat under the stars
23:45for a long time
23:48until the night wind
23:49chilled my face
23:50before I went back.
23:53at the cabin door.
23:55Bill had left dry bread
23:57and cheese for me.
23:58After eating,
23:59I opened my laptop
23:59and emailed a friend
24:01I hadn't contacted
24:01in a long time.
24:02Her name was Elena.
24:04Back then,
24:04she had invited me
24:05to start a company with her,
24:06but I had been so focused
24:08on Carter
24:08that I never considered
24:09any other path.
24:10Now,
24:11it was time to plan for myself.
24:15Before dawn,
24:16I left the ranch
24:17and flew straight
24:18to San Francisco.
24:22Chloe,
24:24you finally came
24:24to your senses.
24:26Welcome to my company.
24:29I invested money,
24:30took equity,
24:31and officially
24:32became a partner.
24:34Not long after,
24:35we attended
24:36a Silicon Valley reception
24:37together
24:38to raise funding.
24:45This is my wife,
24:46Chloe.
24:50When we were married,
24:51he insisted on
24:52keeping it secret.
24:54Now that we were divorced,
24:56he called me his wife.
24:59I didn't get angry.
25:00I simply smiled at everyone
25:02in a polite,
25:03business-like way.
25:04Mr. Hayes is joking.
25:05We're divorced.
25:09Then I turned
25:10and went to the restroom.
25:12Carter followed me in
25:13and watched me
25:14through the mirror.
25:16Chloe,
25:17if you want to build
25:17a company in the Bay Area,
25:19I'll support you.
25:20We don't have to hide
25:21our relationship anymore.
25:23I turned off the faucet
25:25and looked at him
25:25in the mirror
25:26without expression.
25:27The only thing
25:28you can do for me now
25:29is stay away from me.
25:31Seeing you makes me sick.
25:33I turned around.
25:35Stop meddling
25:36in my business?
25:37Is that so hard?
25:42Chloe,
25:43I just want to make it up to you.
25:44Do whatever you want.
25:46But don't mention
25:47our relationship to anyone.
25:48We're divorced.
25:50The court documents
25:51are final.
25:53Before,
25:53he was the one
25:54who wouldn't let me mention it.
25:55Now,
25:56I was the one
25:57who didn't want to.
25:59After all,
26:00being betrayed
26:01by my husband
26:01wasn't exactly
26:02something to be proud of.
26:04I walked out
26:05of the restroom
26:05without looking back.
26:08By the time
26:08the reception ended,
26:09I was slightly tipsy.
26:11Elena had already left.
26:12I had been drinking
26:13and couldn't drive.
26:14I had just opened Uber
26:15when a Benti
26:16stopped in front of me.
26:17This place is remote.
26:18It'll be hard
26:19to get a ride.
26:20Let me take you home.
26:21No need.
26:22I already called one.
26:28Chloe,
26:29since you and Carter
26:30are already divorced,
26:32can you stay away
26:32from him?
26:35Shouldn't you two
26:35be the ones
26:36staying away from me?
26:39I came to San Francisco
26:41for Chloe.
26:42There will never be anything
26:44between you and me again.
26:48My Uber arrived.
26:50Before getting in,
26:51I turned back
26:52and looked at them.
26:53Clara,
26:53I tolerated you before
26:54because you were my sister.
26:55But you better not
26:56bring your drama
26:57to me again.
26:57I have evidence
26:58of your affair.
26:59Don't force me
27:00to send it to the media
27:01and my lawyer.
27:04I opened the car door,
27:06got in,
27:08and never looked
27:08at them again.
27:11For the next few days,
27:13I was busy
27:13with the new project
27:14until one afternoon,
27:16my mother suddenly
27:16showed up
27:17at the company entrance
27:17with a crowd
27:18of tabloid reporters
27:19calling me a mistress
27:20who destroyed
27:21someone else's family.
27:22It's her!
27:22Chloe!
27:23She seduced
27:24her sister's husband!
27:26Film her!
27:27Oh!
27:28Oh!
27:30What an ungrateful daughter!
27:33Stealing your sister's
27:35husband,
27:35you heartless
27:36little ingrate!
27:41I acted as if
27:42I hadn't seen
27:42any of it
27:43and turned
27:43to enter the building.
27:44Security asked
27:45if they should remove her.
27:46I tugged at the
27:47corner of my mouth.
27:48No.
27:48Let her make a scene.
27:50The bigger the scene,
27:51the better.
27:53The evidence in my hands
27:54had been waiting
27:54for a long time.
27:57When I returned
27:58to my office,
27:59Carter called.
28:02Chloe,
28:03don't worry.
28:03I'll handle this for you.
28:05I picked up a pen
28:06and spun it
28:06between my fingers,
28:07cutting him off.
28:08How exactly
28:09does Mr. Hayes
28:10plan to handle it?
28:12By announcing
28:13the truth
28:13that Clara
28:14faked her amnesia?
28:15Or by telling
28:16everyone you wanted
28:17to divorce me
28:18so you could
28:18hold a wedding
28:19with my sister?
28:21If you can't
28:22do any of that,
28:23what are you
28:23solving for me?
28:25Carter,
28:26I must have been
28:26blind to love you
28:27for so many years.
28:32For the next three days,
28:34my mother came
28:34downstairs to the
28:35company every day
28:36to make a scheme.
28:37Public opinion online
28:38kept spiraling.
28:40An employee exposial
28:41appeared on Carter's
28:42company's anonymous
28:43forum,
28:43claiming I had tried
28:44to seduce Carter
28:45and was caught in the
28:46at.
28:47Carter quickly issued
28:48a statement clarifying
28:49that I was not a
28:50mistress,
28:50and publicly revealed
28:52that he and I
28:52had been married
28:53for years.
28:55He also sent me
28:56a message.
28:58I'm sorry,
28:59I'll handle this.
29:00When I saw the
29:01message,
29:02I felt nothing.
29:03An apology
29:04and clarification
29:05that came too late
29:06meant nothing to me now.
29:09Clara suddenly
29:10started a live stream,
29:12accusing Carter
29:13of cheating on her
29:13with me
29:14while they were
29:14together.
29:16She looked ready
29:17to drag everyone
29:18down with her.
29:19I watched until
29:20public opinion
29:21had fermented enough,
29:22then contacted
29:23the legal department.
29:24That night,
29:25the company's
29:25legal department
29:26released all the
29:27evidence that
29:27Clara had faked
29:28her amnesia,
29:29evidence that
29:30Carter had cheated
29:31during her so-called
29:32amnesia,
29:32and my miscarriage
29:33medical records.
29:35Less than 10 minutes
29:37after the statement
29:38went out,
29:38Carter called.
29:39His voice was shaking.
29:41Chloe,
29:42our child is gone.
29:43Why didn't you
29:44tell me?
29:45Now you know.
29:46I'm sorry.
29:49I didn't know
29:50you were pregnant.
29:53once again,
29:54I felt it was a
29:55blessing that
29:56child was never
29:57born.
29:58If you're only
29:59calling to apologize,
30:00don't bother.
30:01After all,
30:02you were the one
30:02who pushed that
30:03child away with
30:04your own hands.
30:05Not every wound
30:06can be smoothed
30:07over with one
30:07weightless apology.
30:11I hung up.
30:13Chloe,
30:13I won't let
30:14anyone hurt you
30:15again.
30:16He sent another
30:17message.
30:19I turned off
30:20my phone
30:20and didn't reply.
30:21With the evidence
30:22undeniable,
30:23Hayes Tech and
30:24Clara were soon
30:24disgraced,
30:25making headlines
30:26in Bloomberg
30:26and the Wall
30:27Street Journal.
30:27Carter's company
30:28issued an apology
30:29statement,
30:30but its stock
30:31price kept
30:32falling.
30:32After public
30:33opinion turned,
30:35our company's
30:36projects moved
30:37forward unusually
30:38smoothly.
30:39The next morning
30:40when I went to
30:41work,
30:41my mother came
30:42again and shouted
30:43me,
30:44Clara is your
30:44own sister!
30:45How can you
30:46just watch
30:46people slander
30:47her?
30:48Now she doesn't
30:48even dare leave
30:49the house and
30:50she keeps
30:50threatening to
30:50kill yourself!
30:51Are you happy
30:52now?
30:56Remove her.
30:57If she refuses
30:58to leave,
30:58call the police
30:59and charge her
31:00with trespassing.
31:01This time,
31:02I didn't tolerate
31:03it anymore.
31:05I walked into
31:06the company
31:07without looking
31:07back.
31:09In my heart,
31:10she had long
31:11since become
31:12a stranger.
31:16after work,
31:17I walked to
31:17the parking
31:18lot and found
31:18Carter standing
31:19beside my car.
31:21He took a
31:21document from
31:22his briefcase.
31:23Chloe,
31:23give me a chance
31:24to make it up
31:24to you and
31:25our child.
31:25This is the
31:26equity transfer
31:27agreement for
31:27my company
31:28along with all
31:28the real estate
31:29under my name.
31:30It's all yours
31:30to control.
31:31I folded my
31:32arms and looked
31:32at him.
31:33Then I laughed.
31:34No,
31:34you would only
31:35make my child
31:36suffer too,
31:37forcing them
31:37to give way
31:37to Clara.
31:38I knew
31:39Carter too well.
31:40He wasn't
31:41truly stupid.
31:42He simply enjoyed
31:43being surrounded
31:43by women.
31:44In the end,
31:44he just didn't
31:45love me enough.
31:46He was about
31:47to press the
31:47agreement into
31:48my hand.
31:51Carter!
31:52You're already
31:53divorced!
31:55Why are you
31:56still transferring
31:57shares to her?
32:01I had no
32:02interest in
32:02watching them
32:03entangle
32:03themselves.
32:06I opened
32:06the door,
32:07started the
32:08engine,
32:09and left
32:09the parking
32:10lot.
32:12For the next
32:13few days,
32:13I automatically
32:13blocked out
32:14everything about
32:15Carter and
32:15Clara.
32:16That day,
32:17I had dinner
32:17with Lucas,
32:18a rising star
32:18in investment
32:19banking.
32:20After finalizing
32:20the contract,
32:21I walked out
32:22of the restaurant.
32:28Chloe,
32:29who is he?
32:31I quietly pulled
32:32my hand free.
32:33Mr.
32:34Hayes,
32:34I don't see
32:35how that
32:35concerns you.
32:36Then I gave
32:37Lucas an
32:37apologetic smile.
32:39Lucas nodded
32:39and left.
32:40After he was
32:41gone,
32:41my expression
32:42darkened.
32:44Carter,
32:44what are you
32:45trying to do?
32:46You used to be
32:46gentle and
32:47considerate with
32:47me.
32:48Now I'm the
32:48only person you
32:49speak to so
32:50harshly.
32:50When did you
32:51become like
32:51this?
32:53I already
32:54told you,
32:54if you need a
32:54nanny,
32:55go hire one.
32:56Besides,
32:56we're divorced.
32:57What does it
32:57have to do with
32:58you if I start
32:58seeing someone new?
33:01Chloe,
33:01I can give you
33:02anything he can.
33:03Why can't you
33:03give me one more
33:04chance?
33:04Only a fool
33:05jumps into the
33:05same pit twice.
33:07Carter,
33:07let's both
33:08keep our
33:08dignity.
33:09Don't make
33:09this ugly
33:09for both of
33:10us.
33:11Otherwise,
33:11I won't hold
33:12back.
33:12Chloe,
33:13I'm not asking
33:13you to forgive
33:14me.
33:14I just want
33:14to help
33:15you.
33:15You've
33:15never started
33:16a company.
33:17You don't
33:17know how
33:17hard it is.
33:18Did you
33:18forget?
33:19When you
33:19started your
33:20company,
33:20I was the
33:21one running
33:21those deals
33:21with you.
33:22When it
33:22comes to
33:22the hardship
33:23of entrepreneurship,
33:24I've
33:24suffered no
33:24less than
33:25you.
33:25I left
33:26him there,
33:27hailed a
33:27taxi,
33:28and drove
33:28away.
33:29When work
33:30finally eased
33:31up,
33:32Elena suggested
33:32we go camping
33:33in Yosemite
33:34National Park
33:35to watch
33:35the meteor
33:36shower.
33:37I agreed.
33:40When we
33:41reached the
33:41mountain and
33:42were about
33:42to set up
33:42the tent,
33:44Elena tactically
33:45went back to
33:45the car,
33:46my face
33:46dartened.
33:47Why are
33:47you here?
33:49Chloe,
33:50I want to
33:50pursue you
33:51all over again.
33:51You were
33:52always the
33:52one chasing
33:52me before.
33:53This
33:54time,
33:54let me
33:54be the
33:55one circling
33:55around
33:55you.
33:56Okay?
33:57Aside from
33:58slight surprise,
33:59I felt
34:00nothing.
34:01I didn't
34:02know why
34:02Carter was
34:03so persistent.
34:05Was it
34:06really love?
34:08That would
34:08be ridiculous.
34:10He had
34:11never shown
34:11love during
34:12all those
34:12years of
34:13marriage,
34:13yet after
34:14the divorce,
34:15he suddenly
34:15fell for
34:16me.
34:17But I
34:17knew he
34:18wouldn't
34:18give up
34:18easily.
34:19Do
34:19whatever
34:19you
34:19want.
34:21No
34:22matter
34:22what he
34:22did
34:22now,
34:23he could
34:23no
34:23longer stir
34:24anything
34:24in me.
34:27Elena
34:27pulled me
34:28aside and
34:28asked in
34:29a low
34:29voice what
34:30was going
34:30on with
34:30my ex-husband.
34:33She disliked
34:34Carter very
34:34much.
34:35I laughed
34:36softly and
34:37folded my
34:37arms.
34:37Who knows
34:38what he's
34:38thinking?
34:38Back then
34:39I chased
34:39him,
34:40weathered
34:40every storm
34:41with him
34:41and helped
34:41him build
34:42his company.
34:42Only after
34:43he successed
34:43did he agree
34:44to be with
34:44me.
34:45I'd like
34:45to see how
34:46long he
34:46can last
34:46at chasing
34:47me.
34:47It would
34:48let him
34:48taste what
34:49it feels
34:49like to
34:49love someone
34:50and not be
34:51valued.
34:51early the
34:52next morning
34:52we came
34:53down from
34:53the mountain.
34:54As soon as I
34:55got home an
34:55unfamiliar number
34:56called.
34:57Afraid it
34:57might's a
34:58client, I
34:58answered.
34:59It was
35:00Carter's
35:00assistant.
35:01Ma'am, Mr.
35:02Hayes went
35:02camping on the
35:03mountain last
35:03night and he
35:04still hasn't
35:04answered his
35:04phone.
35:05Could you
35:05please try
35:05contacting him?
35:06There's an
35:06important board
35:07meeting today.
35:08Don't call me
35:08ma'am again.
35:09If someone's
35:09missing, call
35:10911.
35:10I'm busy
35:11with work.
35:12I hung up.
35:13Whatever
35:14happened to
35:14Carter had
35:15nothing to do
35:15with me.
35:17after the
35:17weekend, Elena
35:18caught a cold
35:18from overtime
35:19so I went
35:20with her
35:20to the
35:20hospital.
35:21After
35:21picking up
35:22the
35:22medicine,
35:26Carter went
35:26up that
35:27mountain
35:27because of
35:27you and
35:28he got
35:28into a
35:29car accident
35:29on the
35:29way back.
35:30If someone
35:30hadn't
35:31took him
35:31to the
35:31hospital.
35:32In the
35:32past, if
35:33Carter so
35:33much as
35:33had a
35:34fever, I
35:34would run
35:34through the
35:35rain to
35:35buy him
35:35medicine.
35:36But now,
35:37hearing that
35:37he had
35:37been in a
35:37car accident
35:38left me
35:38completely
35:39unmoved.
35:39I only
35:40found Clara
35:40noisy.
35:41Is Mr.
35:42Hayes a
35:42minor?
35:43He drove
35:43carelessly
35:44himself.
35:45What does
35:45that have
35:46to do
35:46with
35:46Chloe?
35:47This is
35:47the first
35:48time I've
35:48seen a
35:48mistress
35:49act so
35:49self-righteous.
35:53She's
35:53right.
35:54I went
35:54up the
35:54mountain
35:54on my
35:55own.
35:55Clara,
35:56stop being
35:56unreasonable.
35:57Let's
35:58go.
36:00In the
36:01car,
36:02Elena was
36:02still indignant
36:03on my
36:03behalf.
36:04I sighed.
36:05I'm
36:05used to
36:06it.
36:06But I
36:07have
36:07boundaries
36:07now.
36:08I won't
36:09keep giving
36:09in without
36:10a limit.
36:10Clara was
36:11disgraced
36:11now and
36:12could only
36:12cling to
36:13Carter.
36:13They
36:13couldn't
36:13stir up
36:14much
36:14trouble
36:14with
36:15me
36:15anymore.
36:16I
36:16arranged
36:16to
36:16meet
36:16Lucas
36:17at
36:17the
36:17equestrian
36:17grounds
36:18of the
36:18country
36:18club
36:18to go over
36:19the business
36:19proposal.
36:20I changed
36:21into my
36:21riding attire
36:22and came
36:22back only to
36:23find the
36:23proposal was
36:23gone.
36:24But I
36:24didn't
36:25panic.
36:25Lucas
36:26wouldn't
36:26arrive for
36:26quite a
36:27while and
36:27I had
36:27more than
36:28enough
36:28time to
36:28sort
36:28this
36:29out.
36:30Calmly,
36:30I went
36:30to find
36:31the
36:31riding
36:31grounds
36:31manager.
36:32Chloe,
36:32you say
36:33you don't
36:33want to
36:33get back
36:33together
36:34with
36:43involves
36:43trade
36:43CEMITS.
36:44Please pull
36:44the security
36:45footage.
36:45I'm calling
36:46the police.
36:51Does the
36:51missing
36:52proposal have
36:52anything to
36:53do with
36:53you?
36:56The
36:57manager had
36:57already brought
36:58over the
36:58surveillance
36:59footage.
37:00I took
37:01out my
37:01phone to
37:01call the
37:02police.
37:02Carter,
37:03help me.
37:04I don't
37:04want to
37:04go to
37:05jail.
37:05I was
37:05just
37:06jealous.
37:06Why are
37:06you so
37:07good to
37:07her?
37:08This
37:08is a
37:08federal
37:08offense.
37:10I was
37:10wrong
37:10about
37:10you.
37:12This
37:12wasn't
37:12his
37:12decision
37:13to
37:13make.
37:14I
37:14ignored
37:14them
37:14and
37:14called
37:15the
37:15police
37:15directly.
37:17I
37:18couldn't
37:18be
37:18bothered
37:18with
37:18her.
37:19I
37:19called
37:19Elena
37:19and
37:20explained
37:20the
37:20situation.
37:21Fortunately,

37:24new
37:24copy
37:24on

37:25When
37:25the
37:25police
37:25arrived,
37:26Carter
37:26walked
37:26over,
37:26looking
37:26like he
37:27wanted
37:27to
37:27say
37:27something.
37:28What?
37:28Are

38:46Before

38:51In
38:52truth,
38:52I
38:52had

39:01held

39:01shouted

39:09Fortunately,

40:19even

40:21The

40:22I
40:22thought
40:22of
40:22the
40:22past,
40:23it
40:23turned
40:24cold
40:24again.
40:26Whatever
40:26happened
40:27to
40:27Carter
40:27had
40:27nothing
40:28to
40:28do
40:28with
40:28me.
40:29Even
40:30if
40:30he

40:30a
40:30terminal
40:31illness,
40:31what
40:31did
40:32that
40:32have
40:32to
40:32do
40:32with
40:32me?
40:34After
40:34working
40:34overtime,
40:35I
40:35saw
40:35Carter
40:36downstairs
40:36at
40:37the
40:37company.
40:37I
40:38didn't
40:38know
40:38how
40:38long
40:39he
40:39had
40:39been
40:39waited.
40:39Are

40:40really
40:40planning
40:40to

40:41He
40:42has
40:42countless
40:42women
40:42around
40:43him.
40:43He's

40:43notorious
40:44capitalist
40:44in
40:44the
40:45Bain
40:45area.
40:45If

40:46offend
40:46him,
40:47he'll
40:47destroy
40:47your

40:48I
40:49had
40:49already
40:49looked
40:49into
40:50all
40:50of
40:50that.
40:52Lucas

40:53were
40:53purely
40:53business
40:54partners.
40:56That
40:57has
40:57nothing
40:57to
40:57do
40:58with
40:58you.
40:59I
40:59just
40:59don't
40:59want
40:59you
41:00to
41:00be
41:00deceived

41:03I
41:03don't

41:12His
41:13illness
41:13suddenly
41:13came
41:14to
41:14mind.
41:15I
41:16had
41:16doubted
41:17whether

41:22the

41:26Perhaps
41:26Lucas'
41:27appearance

41:27provoked
41:28him
41:28because
41:28Carter

41:31He

42:27So

44:28He

44:57I
44:57didn't

44:58I

45:00That

45:01work
45:01I

45:11second.
45:13I

45:25car.
45:33Chloe,
45:35are you

45:48Clara,
45:48I
45:48always
45:49thought
45:49you
45:49were
45:49kind.
45:50I

45:50terribly
45:51wrong.
45:53I
45:53felt
45:53nothing.
45:56Back
45:56then,
45:57broke
45:57up
45:57with
45:57him
45:57because
45:57he

46:02enjoy
46:03the
46:03rewards.
46:04You
46:05wanted
46:05too
46:06much.
46:08The
46:08ambulance
46:09arrived.
46:12Carter
46:12had
46:12intracranial
46:13bleeding
46:14and a
46:14spinal
46:14fracture.
46:15He
46:15might
46:16be
46:16paralyzed
46:16from
46:17the
46:17waist
46:17down.
46:19I
46:19waited
46:20outside
46:20the
46:20operating
46:21room
46:21until
46:21early
46:21the
46:22next
46:22morning
46:22when
46:22he
46:23was
46:23finally
46:23transferred
46:24out
46:24of
46:24the
46:24ICU.
46:25I
46:26was
46:26just
46:26about
46:26to
46:26return
46:27to
46:27the
46:27company
46:27and
46:27handle
46:28work.
46:28Your
46:29mother
46:29started
46:29a
46:30live
46:30stream.
46:30She's
46:30on
46:30the
46:31company
46:31rooftop
46:31threatening
46:31to
46:32jump.
46:33I
46:33rushed
46:34back.
46:38I
46:38want
46:38Chloe
46:39to drop
46:39the
46:40case,
46:40bail
46:41Clara
46:41out,
46:41and
46:42give
46:42me
46:42$10
46:43million
46:43to
46:44go
46:44to
46:44Florida.
46:47Otherwise
46:47I'll
46:48jump!
46:50Don't
46:50worry.
46:51she doesn't
46:52have the
46:52guts to
46:52jump.
46:53She doesn't
46:58have the guts to jump.
46:58Impossible.
47:00In high school she forced me to drop my SET prep course and work at a restaurant.
47:04I paid off my college loans myself.
47:06When my sister faked amnesia, you told me to give my husband to her.
47:11All of you took turns trying to kill me, trying to seize my property, and now you want me to
47:16pay for your comfortable life?
47:18I
47:19I'm grown now.
47:20I won't give way to anyone anymore.
47:23Even if you jump today, I won't give you a thing.
47:26Firefighters rushed forward and brought her down from the rooftop.
47:29I crouched down and lowered my voice.
47:31Mrs. Davis,
47:33this is America.
47:34If I want to,
47:35with all the charges against you added together,
47:38you won't see the outside of a prison for the rest of your life.
47:41Public opinion turned in my favor.
47:44The company's image improved, and partners came one after another.
47:49After finishing my work, I went to the hospital.
47:51I told him truthfully that he might be paralyzed from the waist down,
47:55and that I had already contacted his assistant to take him back to Beverly Hills once he recovered.
48:00What goes around comes around, Chloe. I wronged you.
48:04This is my retribution. I accepted.
48:07Go back and recover properly. I've paid the medical bills.
48:09Yes. I still have work at the company. I'm leaving now.
48:14What happened with Clara was already in the past.
48:17It was only because she once saved me, and I owed her.
48:21I lost my parents when I was young and was treated coldly in foster homes.
