11:50madam vanessa has hired a lawyer named hudson he specializes in media lawsuits she's accusing you
11:55of knowing about the abuse and allowing it to continue the lawyer who controls the headlines yes
11:59he has already contacted several major outlets public opinion is shifting i suggest we release
12:04evidence before he controls the story no if we only show what benefits me what difference is there
12:10between me from vanessa don't remove anything not one detail release the entire truth understood it'll
12:17take some time to prepare everything wait

13:00why are you here if you're here to ask for me to forgive your mother you can leave i'm not
13:04here
13:04to ask for forgiveness i brought you something to eat my mom had the kitchen make it pumpkin and millet
13:09she said it was your favorite when you were little mrs sterling she really has a great memory she did
13:16every year when she sent money to you she would write l in the memo it's just a shame that
13:20money never
13:21reached you what do you mean for 21 years my mom sent three thousand dollars a month to vanessa's
13:27account under the name of an education fund the memo always said ll your initials but the moment
13:33the money hit that card it was withdrawn have you ever seen it i didn't know she always said we
13:39had no
13:40money then she disappeared to gamble it's okay kairi told me my mom already arranged a trust for you
13:47whatever money vanessa didn't take belongs to you what does she want in return lily she's not buying
13:54your forgiveness she never gave up on you even after vanessa destroyed your admission letter my mom
14:00got another one approved for you so you could start over whenever you were ready really
14:18mrs sterling vanessa claims you knew about the abuse and did nothing for 21 years how do you respond to
14:22this the internet says this was all a revenge plan on vanessa did you set this up from beginning just
14:25to destroy vanessa sterling group stock plummeted seven percent today the board is calling for you to
14:28step down will you resign in three days i will hold a press conference at sterling headquarters
14:35i'll release all the evidence until then i have no further comments
14:44this is a transitional apartment from the victim support center
14:48the first three months are covered by the assistance fund no donor has the right to enter nor can they
14:53demand a meeting as a condition of their funding you can live here without worrying if you need anything
14:58i'll be here i used to have one too a plant like this but after two months all the leaves
15:04turned
15:05yellow my mom said i couldn't even keep a plant alive so i was destined to fail
15:13you don't have to live by your mom's words anymore we'll take care of this one together whatever
15:18happened before it can still grow again the three-day deadline is almost up and claire hasn't even shown
15:26her face the press conference keeps getting delayed the doc is down seven percent and the front desk is
15:32blowing up from investors inquiry calls gentlemen is this really the person you trusted to hold this
15:37company together marcus she just went through a major family crisis family crisis a woman who could scheme
15:44against her own best friend for 21 years you still expect her to put the group first
15:50she can't survive this media storm but what if her evidence proves she didn't just stand by and
15:55what happens when she releases it public will ask why she didn't save that girl 21 years ago public
16:00sympathy fast but market confidence that can collapse overnight i'm saying there's another option
16:06claire steps down and someone else takes control
16:15once this enters the evidence preservation everything will be recorded whether it helps
16:20you or hurts you that is exactly what i want verify the photo metabradia trace every payment and
16:26review every welfare report then interview lily separately don't let her and i prepare the same story
16:40the truth will eventually be revealed this is a scam this is an appointment only meeting area regular
16:48reporters can't get in the person taking the photo was either staff or someone with inside information
16:54you think someone leaked it from the investigation the photo shows her submitting materials but deliberately
17:00crops out the evidence transfer sign they don't want the truth they want the truth to arrive too late
17:12i'm not defending claire i just want to know who keeps deciding who i should hate
17:25ladies and gentlemen i'm hudson representing miss vanessa reed in this matter my client is currently in
17:31police custody following last night's events but she has authorized me to present the truth to the
17:35public mrs claire sterling knew that lily reed was miss vanessa's biological daughter 21 years ago yet
17:41she used an innocent child suffering to carry out her revenge plan a woman who watched a child suffer
17:47just to punish her enemy is she fit to be a mother shouldn't the public question her actions
17:55emma is the future leader of sterling group but she was raised by claire will she inherit the same
18:02ruthless methods will she use these same tactics against dissidents on the board
18:08lawyer hudson thank you for preparing such a detailed case for your client director marcus thank
18:13you for being so concerned about emma's character i think it's time everyone sees what i actually did
18:18for the past 21 years then you can decide who was truly cold-blooded lawyer hudson you said i stood
18:27by and watched then please tell me what is this i sent money every month to the person abusing my
18:32child
18:33every payment was marked for lily's education and living expenses would someone who wanted her to suffer
18:38do that then why didn't you just take lily away the moment i stepped in vanessa would have taken me
18:43to
18:44court lily would have been dragged in a custody battle she would become a target for the media my goal
18:47is
18:47simple keep her alive keep her safe and give her the power to leave when she was old enough to
18:51choose
18:55hudson would a cold-blooded person spend four years applying to universities for a child who wasn't even hers
19:11i can accept being questioned and i'll bear any consequences but marcus now it's your turn why did
19:19you pay someone to photograph an evidence handoff and turn it into a fake bribery scandal
19:30this only proves the company conducted public opinion monitoring it doesn't prove i ordered
19:33anyone to take those photos the investigating lawyer has already verified it the original
19:38photos came from your assistant's work phone all evidence has been submitted to the board's compliance
19:55committee
19:55lily if you're watching this every word i said is true i don't beg for your forgiveness but i want
20:02you
20:02to know that for every opportunity stolen from you i kept a way back for you when you're ready they
20:08are all
20:19yours
20:21madam public opinion has completely turned sterling stock rebounded 4.2 percent in after hour also hudson
20:27filed a bail application tonight bail for whom vanessa the bail was paid through an offshore account
20:34the funds tracked back to a shell company linked to marcus after the press conference marcus didn't
20:39retreat he helped vanessa i'm afraid those two have already joined forces
20:46two desperate people tied together by the same rope will only pull each other into the same pit
20:51starting now assign people to protect emma and lily report any unusual activity to me immediately
20:56understood madam you should get some rest i can't sleep yet tomorrow lily wants to meet me
21:12did you see what i said at the press conference you could have exposed everything the first time she
21:16hurt me why wait until now don't tell me it was to protect me i don't buy it that night
21:21i truly hated
21:22vanessa and yes i wanted her to suffer for what she did but after i switched the baby's back i
21:27chose
21:27to protect emma first then i used money and systems to help you i thought if i stayed hidden i
21:32could
21:33protect both of you so you trusted receipts you trusted lawyers but you just didn't trust that i
21:37might be crying out for help yes i mistook watching from a four as protection i called my fear of
21:43stepping
21:43in being careful but the truth is i failed you lily i know i'm the reason you suffered all these
21:49years
21:49the adoption process is already being prepared please give me a chance to make it up to you
21:53mrs sterling i can't say i forgive you but the things you've done for me i see it i need
21:59time
22:00i'll give you time as long as you need i will attend the school's review process myself i don't
22:06need to rely on your name as a guarantee if you truly want to help me give me the original
22:10documents
22:11proving vanessa intercepted my admission letter don't make calls for me and don't open the doors for me

22:35once you meet the standard you'll enter the degree program
22:59you're lily from the news right don't be nervous i came back to school at 30 no one here will
23:04judge
23:04you for starting later than others thank you i'll catch up you bailed me out what do you want from
23:12me
23:13your daughter is back in school i don't believe claire didn't help do you know what that means
23:17she's turning her into a sterling lily is mine she's my daughter if you want claire to lose lily has
23:25to turn against her first go to the school tomorrow tell her claire isn't helping her the moment lily
23:30starts doubting claire everything that woman built will collapse when that happens sterling group will be
23:35mine and i'll give you the life you've always wanted
23:48lily listen to me claire doesn't really care about you she's using you she just wants to turn you
23:54against me come with me i'll take care of you you when i was six you made me wash dishes
24:02until my hands
24:03froze at eight you locked me outside all night at 18 you destroyed my admission letter and you call
24:08that taking care that was all claire's fault lily i love you mom was wrong i was really wrong i
24:16gave
24:16birth to you no one can break our bonds claire is an outsider don't let her fool you if you
24:22don't
24:22forgive me i won't get up you never treated me like a person like your daughter starting today i don't
24:29have a mother whether you kneel here or lie here it has nothing to do with me
24:43kiral vanessa cannot be allowed to interfere with lily's education send the video to the prosecutor
24:47handling her case harassing students on campus and violated public order it's enough to send her
24:51back for a few more days by the way how is lily's adoption process going the court said it will
24:55take
24:55two more weeks but madam lily drawing a clear line with vanessa in front of everyone was that her way
25:01of choosing your side not necessarily but at least she didn't choose her
25:15i heard you've been working really hard and you got the highest score in your first quiz
25:20i've never been to a school before i'm afraid of falling too far behind
25:26you're incredible i saw what you said to vanessa that day i was thinking if my mom hadn't swapped
25:31us back that night the one growing up next to vanessa would have been me if i had spent 21
25:35years being
25:35hurt like that i'd be completely ruined by now you're stronger than i am and honestly we owe you
25:39we were just two babies that night you don't owe me anything as for your mother she didn't make mistakes
25:45part of the reason i can stand here today is because of her
25:50then would you come home for dinner next weekend my mom said she'd cook herself
25:58madam news just came from the court the adoption process is done only lily signed the papers she will
26:03be your adopted daughter that's wonderful emma just messaged me she said lily's back to the manor
26:07for dinner tonight this is the first time lily has willingly returned to the manor it seems she's
26:10starting to open her heart the fact that she's willing to come sit at the same table with me again
26:14it's already far better than i ever imagined
26:19what is it madam the media just released news about your adoption plan
26:23and they're accusing you of using lily as a publicity stunt
26:29this happened too quickly marcus arranged this
26:31kyra the gl crew project i took over recently contact their liaison for me
26:39gentlemen the news surrounding claire sterling has caused our german partners on
26:43the new energy project to withdraw the group cannot be dragged down by one person's personal
26:48crisis marcus i was going to leave you some dignity but the withdrawing partner you mentioned just had
26:53someone deliver this
26:56this is the exclusive technical partnership agreement i signed with gl group in germany
27:01the new energy project isn't failing it's about to receive billions in investment
27:05your so-called withdrawal was nothing but a rumor you created
27:09fine even if the project is fine your personal behavior has already impacted the group's reputation
27:15the board has the right to reconsider your position gentlemen as a member of the sterling family i truly
27:21cannot bear to see our family's foundation destroyed overnight claire let an innocent girl suffer for
27:2621 years just to punish her enemy and now she tries to whitewash herself by adopting her
27:31is such a person fit to represent the sterling group i propose that i temporarily act as proxy for claire's
27:37duties and shares three votes in favor claire complete the transfer paperwork today and then
27:43go back to the man and deal with your reputation if you can't fix it maybe you shouldn't come back
27:56marcus you will regret this decision
28:19i am emma sterling my mother claire sterling yes she hated vanessa but she paid the price for that
28:25hatred for 21 years she was a single mother and while raising me and protecting sterling group she
28:30never gave up on lily she did everything she could and she admits where she failed her wanting to adopt
28:35lily now isn't about saving her reputation it's about giving lily back the love she lost
29:02if i stay silent then i'm no different from my mother
29:07i'm lily reed vanessa's biological daughter i want to say something about everything happening
29:12online you call claire sterling cold-blooded call her a show-off say she used my suffering to get
29:18revenge on vanessa but the truth is she made mistakes and yet her protection over these 21 years
29:25is greater than my so-called biological mother the only true villain is vanessa i have decided to
29:31accept claire sterling's adoption because during my darkest years she was the reason i didn't
29:36completely give up
29:45mom mom did you see it lily stepped forward she said she believes you mom we did it now i
29:55want to see
29:55what those people have to say
30:00yes i saw it as long as you both can stand by my side everything is worth it
30:08now i can focus on dealing with marcus and the rest
30:15she was kicked off the board now she turned everything around because of 220 nothing little braps
30:21idiots a bunch of idiots mr marcus the internet is turning in claire's favor and even some on the
30:28board are starting to change their minds change their minds what gives them the right a bunch of
30:33cowards i'll make sure they have no choice left where is that woman named vanessa hiding now find her
30:42she was claire's best friend for so long she must know claire's weaknesses she can still be useful
30:51you bailed me out what do you want me to do i have nothing left lily won't acknowledge me the
30:57entire world hates me and now i'm even hiding from the police you are claire's best friend you know all
31:03her secrets and you know where she's most vulnerable if you cooperate with me i'll give you a place to
31:10stay everything i promised before you'll get i'll even give you five percent of sterling group shares
31:15a weakness
31:19wait if we can prove emma isn't lucas's biological daughter claire is finished
31:25doesn't claire have a lawyer hire paparazzi to snap a photo of claire and kyrie meeting privately
31:30creates some suspicion the sterling group shares will have no choice but to go to you
31:36exactly if i say lucas doubted emma's identity before he died how could claire prove her innocence
31:42forging lucas handwriting that won't be difficult for me
31:53members of the press i am here to publicize a private agreement signed by lucas sterling before
31:58his passing this agreement shows that mr lucas had severe doubts emma sterling's biological identity
32:04it explicitly states that if emma sterling is not his biological daughter
32:07of all the sterling group shares would be transferred to me
32:14and today we are going to expose an even more terrifying truth claire sterling already knew
32:19there were doubts about emma's parentage to secure the inheritance she fabricated this entire baby
32:23swapping farce destroyed her best friend and paint herself as the victim yes i swapped the babies but i
32:30did it because i realized emma looked nothing like lucas i was afraid the hospital would do something so i
32:35helped her keep the secret but later claire claire wanted to make me the scapegoat and throw me
32:42away i had no choice but to step forward and tell the truth
32:53that agreement is definitely forged and that photo was taken when i was reporting to you they deliberately
32:59manipulated the angle to create suspicion the press conference has already reached over a million views
33:06let them keep going the bigger the storm they create the harder they'll fall
33:11this time i'm going to watch them destroy themselves
33:19kairi come with me to the hospital marcus mccreet's for checkups
33:22the dna records he left there will become the final proof of emma's identity
33:30escape and submission sir six first existence significant growth and a strong outlook for the future
33:42lily did you see it how could they do this that photo that agreement my dad is already gone
33:48how could they still disrespect him like this
33:52i saw it emma they keep using public opinion to crush mrs sterling
33:56this proves we can't just keep reacting we need to find their real weakness
34:03but what can we do should we tell mom no emma mrs sterling must be overwhelmed right now

45:43Marcus Sterling, Vanessa Reed, you are under arrest for kidnapping, intentional assault, and illegal detention.
45:54I almost lost you two again today.
45:56That is 10,000 times more terrifying than losing my position or shares.
46:02When I was five, I fell and broke my front teeth.
46:05My mouth was full of blood.
46:06A hungover Vanessa kicked me away and said my rotten teeth were fitting because I had a rotten life anyway.
46:11That night, I curled up in the corner thinking, if I had a good mom like you, she definitely wouldn't
46:15treat me like that.
46:17Mom!
46:28The defendant, Vanessa Reed, for the crimes of kidnapping, intentional assault, child abuse, perjury, and fraud,
46:36is sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.
46:40All her guardianship rights over the victim, Lily Reed, are hereby revoked.
46:44The defendant, Marcus Sterling, for planning and assisting in the crimes, is convicted on the same charges.
46:53Lily, mom was wrong.
46:57I was just confused.
46:59I carried you for 10 months and gave birth to you.
47:03Please, say something for me.
47:06Help me get a lighter sentence.
47:10Lily!
47:12Help me get a lighter sentence!
47:1510 months of pregnancy?
47:17Then what about the 21 years of pain you caused me?
47:20That day in the warehouse, you even wanted to stab me to death!
47:22Did you ever consider them that you carried me for 10 months?
47:25You say you're my mother and answer me.
47:28When did you ever truly act like one?
47:30Your biggest regret was never hurting me.
47:33It's that you finally have to pay the price for it.
47:36You gave me life, but that doesn't mean you own it.
47:39You are my past.
47:40You are no longer my family.
47:53Claire, the previous suspension vote was because we were misdead by...
47:55Today is not a meeting to apologize to my mother.
47:58As the controlling shareholder, I accept all findings from the independent audit it.
48:02At the same time, I'll remove the directors who participated in concealing related party transactions
48:06and appoint two new independent directors.
48:08Family control is not a privilege exempt from supervision.
48:11The Sterling Group will no longer operate on one person's secrets,
48:14nor will we ever give Marcus a second chance to slip into a black box.
48:19Remember this.
48:21What truly protects a family is not conspiracy and calculation, but trust and love.
48:29Don't be nervous.
48:31Yeah, once you write down your name, you'll officially be a member of the Sterling family.
48:42Congratulations, Mrs. Sterlings.
48:47From now on, when we argue, I'll have even more confidence.
48:50After all, I'm the older sister.
48:52Oh, please.
48:52You were only born three minutes before me.
48:58Come on, the first toast to our family finally being complete.
49:06Lily, welcome home.
49:10Mom, thank you.
49:13Thank you for never giving up on me.
49:25Mom!
49:26Look at this!
49:27The first-year results for the Sterling Women's Education Fund are out.
49:30In just one year, we've helped over 5,000 girls from underprivileged families return to school!
49:36The Sterling Women's Education Fund, launched by the Sterling Group,
49:40has provided educational opportunities for over 5,000 girls from disadvantaged backgrounds in its first year.
50:00Mom, open it.
50:05Lily.
50:06Mom, Lily and I made this necklace together.
50:08The two leaves represent the two of us.
50:10From now on, we're a family forever!
50:14Having you two makes me the happiest mother in the world.
