11:17this was your plan you wanted this i'll show everyone who you really are
11:21claire sterling you're no better than me you're even worse
11:28mom this isn't all on you don't carry it alone
11:33but lily was still hurt because of me emma i need to make this right
11:42i always told myself the education fund was enough keeping her record safe was enough but was it
12:11was if i was um and i was um and i was like
12:29i wanted to give her to the college board of myの my job i wanted to do enigma
12:30to become my father so much more ot志
12:31when i was um i had a very nice saddle and i didn't spell the earth
12:32You
12:47Lily you have every right to hate me once I get justice for you your life will belong to you
13:01Why are you here if you're here to ask for me to forgive your mother you can leave I'm not
13:05here to ask for forgiveness
13:06I brought you something to eat my mom had the kitchen make it pumpkin and millet
13:10She said it was your favorite when you were little
13:13Mrs.. Sterling she really has a great memory
13:16She did every year when she sent money to you she would write L in the memo. It's just a
13:21shame that money never reached you
13:23What do you mean for 21 years?
13:25My mom sent three thousand dollars a month to Vanessa's account under the name of an education fund
13:29The memo always said LL your initials, but the moment the money hit that card. It was withdrawn. Have you
13:36ever seen it?
13:37I didn't know
13:39She always said we had no money
13:41Then she disappeared a gamble
13:43It's okay
13:45Kyrie told me my mom already arranged a trust for you. Whatever money Vanessa didn't take belongs to you
13:51What does she want in return?
13:53Lily she's not buying your forgiveness
13:56She never gave up on you even after Vanessa destroyed your admission letter
14:00My mom got another one approved for you, so you could start over whenever you were ready
14:04Really?
14:08Oh
14:19Mrs.. Sterling Vanessa claims you knew about the abuse and did nothing for 21 years. How do you respond to
14:23this?
14:23The internet says this was all a revenge plan on Vanessa
14:25Did you set this up from beginning just to destroy Vanessa sterling group stock plummeted 7% today? The board
14:28is calling for you to step down. Will you resign?
14:34In three days, I will hold a press conference at sterling headquarters
14:36I'll release all the evidence until then I have no further comments
14:45This is a transitional apartment from the victim support center
14:49The first three months are covered by the assistance fund
14:51No donor has the right to enter nor can they demand a meeting as a condition of their funding
14:56You can live here without worrying if you need anything. I'll be here
15:00I used to have one too a plant like this
15:03But after two months all the leaves turned yellow my mom said I couldn't even keep a plant alive, so
15:09I was destined to fail
15:14You don't have to live by your mom's words anymore
15:17We'll take care of this one together whatever happened before it can still grow again
15:23The three-day deadline is almost up and claire hasn't even shown her face
15:28The press conference keeps getting delayed the stock is down seven percent and the front desk is blowing up from
15:34investors inquiry calls
15:35Gentlemen is this really the person you trusted to hold this company together?
15:39Marcus she just went through a major family crisis
15:42Family crisis a woman who could scheme against her own best friend for 21 years
15:47You still expect her to put the group first?
15:51She can't survive this media storm
15:54But what if her evidence proves she didn't just stand by and what happens when she releases it public will
15:59ask why she didn't save that girl 21 years ago
16:01Public sympathy fast, but market confidence that can collapse overnight. I'm saying there's another option
16:07Claire steps down
16:09And someone else takes control
16:16Once this enters the evidence preservation everything will be recorded whether it helps you or hurts you
16:22That is exactly what I want
16:24Verify the photo metabradia trace every payment and review every welfare report then interview lily separately
16:30Don't let her and I prepare the same story
16:41The truth will eventually be revealed. This is a scam
16:45This is an appointment only meeting area
16:48Regular reporters can't get in
16:51The person taking the photo was either staff or someone with inside information
16:55You think someone leaked it from the investigation the photo shows her submitting materials
17:00But deliberately crops out the evidence transfer sign
17:04They don't want the truth. They want the truth to arrive too late
17:13I'm not defending Claire. I just want to know who keeps deciding who I should hate
17:27Ladies and gentlemen, i'm hudson representing miss vanessa reed in this matter
17:31My client is currently in police custody following last night's events, but she has authorized me to present the truth
17:36to the public
17:37Mrs. Claire sterling knew that lily reed was miss vanessa's biological daughter 21 years ago
17:42Yet she used an innocent child suffering to carry out her revenge plan
17:46A woman who watched a child suffer just to punish her enemy is she fit to be a mother shouldn't
17:51the public question her actions
17:56Emma is the future leader of sterling group
18:00But she was raised by Claire
18:02Will she inherit the same ruthless methods?
18:05Will she use these same tactics against dissidents on the board?
18:09Lawyer hudson. Thank you for preparing such a detailed case for your client
18:13Director marcus. Thank you for being so concerned about emma's character. I
18:17Think it's time everyone sees what I actually did for the past 21 years
18:21Then you can decide who was truly cold-blooded
18:26Lawyer hudson you said I stood by and watched then please tell me what is this
18:31I sent money every month to the person abusing my child
18:34Every payment was marked for lily's education and living expenses with someone who wanted her to suffer do that
18:40Then why didn't you just take lily away?
18:42The moment I stepped in vanessa would have taken me to court lily would have been dragged in a custody
18:46battle
18:46She would become a target for the media
18:48My goal is simple keep her alive keep her safe and give her the power to leave when she was
18:52old enough to choose
18:56Hudson would a cold-blooded person spend four years applying to universities for a child who wasn't even hers
19:12I
19:12Can accept being questioned and I'll bear any consequences
19:16But marcus now it's your turn
19:19Why did you pay someone to photograph an evidence handoff and turn it into a fake bribery scandal?
19:31This only proves the company conducted public opinion monitoring it doesn't prove I ordered anyone to take those photos
19:36The investigating lawyer has already verified it the original photos came from your assistant's work phone
19:41All evidence has been submitted to the board's compliance committee
19:57Lily if you're watching this every word I said is true. I don't beg for your forgiveness
20:02But I want you to know that for every opportunity stolen from you. I kept a way back for you
20:07when you're ready
20:09They are all yours
20:22Madam public opinion has completely turned sterling stock rebounded four point two percent in after hour
20:27Also, hudson filed a bail application tonight bail for whom
20:31Vanessa
20:33The bail was paid through an offshore account the funds tracked back to a shell company linked to marcus
20:38After the press conference marcus didn't retreat. He helped vanessa. I'm afraid those two have already joined forces
20:47Two desperate people tied together by the same rope will only pull each other into the same pit
20:52Starting now assigned people to protect emma and lily report any unusual activity to me immediately understood
20:59Madam you should get some rest
21:03I can't sleep yet
21:06Tomorrow lily wants to meet me
21:13Did you see what I said at the press conference you could have exposed everything the first time she hurt
21:17me why wait until now
21:18Don't tell me it was to protect me. I don't buy it
21:20That night. I truly hated vanessa and yes
21:24I wanted her to suffer for what she did but after I switched the baby's back
21:27I chose to protect emma first then I used money and systems to help you
21:31I thought if I stayed hidden I could protect both of you
21:35So you trusted receipts you trusted lawyers, but you just didn't trust that I might be crying out for help
21:40Yes, I mistook watching from afar as protection. I called my fear of stepping in being careful, but the truth
21:45is I failed you
21:47Lily, I know I'm the reason you suffered all these years
21:49The adoption process is already being prepared. Please give me a chance to make it up to you. Mrs. Sterling
21:53I can't say I forgive you, but the things you've done for me. I see it. I need time
21:59I'll give you time as long as you need
22:03I will attend the school's review process myself. I don't need to rely on your name as a guarantee
22:07If you truly want to help me give me the original documents proving vanessa intercepted my admission letter don't make
22:13calls for me
22:13And don't open the doors for me. All right
22:17This time you choose the path and walk it yourself
22:26Your original admission has expired but the review committee confirmed you missed enrollment and passed the contingency assessment
22:32You'll first complete a semester of bridge courses once you meet the standard you'll enter the degree program
22:48Congratulations this time you earned this back all by yourself
22:58You're lily from the news, right? Don't be nervous. I came back to school at 30. No one here will
23:04judge you for starting later than others
23:06Thank you. I'll catch up
23:09You bailed me out. What do you want from me?
23:13Your daughter is back in school. I don't believe claire didn't help. Do you know what that means? She's turning
23:18her into a sterling
23:20Lily is mine. She's my daughter if you want claire to lose lily has to turn against her first
23:26Go to the school tomorrow tell her claire isn't helping her the moment lily starts doubting claire everything that woman
23:31built will collapse
23:32When that happens sterling group will be mine and i'll give you the life you've always wanted
23:47Lily listen to me claire doesn't really care about you. She's using you. She just wants to turn you against
23:54me
23:56Come with me. I'll take care of you
23:59You when I was six you made me wash dishes until my hands froze at eight you locked me outside
24:04all night at 18
24:05You destroyed my admission letter and you call that taking care. That was all claire's fault. Lily. I love you
24:12Mom was wrong. I was really wrong. I gave birth to you. No one can break our bond
24:18Claire is an outsider. Don't let her fool you if you don't forgive me. I won't get up
24:24You never treated me like a person like your daughter
24:27Starting today. I don't have a mother whether you kneel here or lie here. It has nothing to do with
24:32me
24:42Chiral vanessa cannot be allowed to interfere with lily's education send the video to the prosecutor handling her case harassing
24:48students on
24:48Campus and violated public order it's enough to send her back for a few more days
24:51By the way, how is lily's adoption process going the court said it will take two more weeks
24:56But madam lily drawing a clear line with vanessa in front of everyone was that her way of choosing your
25:01side
25:02Not necessarily but at least she didn't choose her
25:15I
25:15Heard you've been working really hard and you got the highest score in your first quiz. I've never been to
25:20a school before
25:21I'm afraid of falling too far behind
25:26You're incredible. I saw what you said to vanessa that day
25:29I was thinking if my mom hadn't swapped us back that night
25:31The one growing up next to vanessa would have been me if I had spent 21 years being hurt like
25:35that
25:35I'd be completely ruined by now. You're stronger than I am and honestly we owe you so much. We were
25:39just two babies that night
25:41You don't owe me anything
25:42As for your mother she did make mistakes part of the reason I can stand here today is because of
25:47her
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
26:02She will be your adopted daughter. That's wonderful. Emma just messaged me
26:05She said lily's back to the manor for dinner tonight
26:07This is the first time lily has willingly returned to the manor
26:09It seems she's starting to open her heart the fact that she's willing to come sit at the same table
26:12with me again
26:13It's already far better than I ever imagined
26:19What is it madam the media just released news about your adoption plan and they're accusing you of using lily
26:25as a publicity stunt
26:29This happened too quickly marcus arranged this kyra the gl crew project I took over recently contact their liaison for
26:35me
26:39Gentlemen the news surrounding claire sterling has caused our german partners on the new energy project to withdraw
26:45The group cannot be dragged down by one person's personal crisis
26:49Marcus
26:49I was going to leave you some dignity, but the withdrawing partner you mentioned just had someone deliver this
26:57This 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
27:06Your so-called withdrawal was nothing, but a rumor you created
27:09Fine
27:10Even if the project is fine your personal behavior has already impacted the group's reputation
27:16The board has the right to reconsider your position
27:19Gentlemen as a member of the sterling family. I truly cannot bear to see our family's foundation destroyed overnight
27:25Claire let an innocent girl suffer for 21 years just to punish her enemy
27:28And now she tries to whitewash herself by adopting her is such a person fit to represent the sterling group
27:34I propose that I temporarily act as proxy for claire's duties and shares
27:39Three votes in favor claire complete the transfer paperwork today and then go back to the manon and deal with
27:45your reputation
27:46If you can't fix it, maybe you shouldn't come back
27:54Marcus you will regret this decision
27:58I
27:59I
28:00I
28:03I
28:05I
28:08I
28:14I
28:16I
28:18I
28:19I
28:20I am emma sterling my mother claire sterling yes, she hated vanessa
28:24But she paid the price for that hatred for 21 years. She was a single mother and while raising me
28:29and protecting sterling group
28:30She never gave up on lily. She did everything she could and she admits where she failed her wanting to
28:35adopt lily now
28:36Isn'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
29:11I want to say something about everything happening online
29:14You call claire sterling cold-blooded call her a show-off say she used my suffering to get revenge on
29:19vanessa
29:20but the truth is
29:21She made mistakes
29:23And yet her protection over these 21 years is greater than my so-called biological mother
29:28The only true villain is vanessa
29:31I have decided to accept claire sterling's adoption
29:34Because during my darkest years she was the reason I didn't completely give up
29:45Mom
29:47mom did you see it?
29:50Lily stepped forward she said she believes you
29:53Mom we did it now. I want to see what 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 idiots a bunch
30:23of idiots
30:25Mr. Marcus the internet is turning in clear's favor and even some on the board are starting to change their
30:30minds change their minds
30:32What gives them the right a bunch of cowards?
30:35I'll make sure they have no choice left
30:38Where 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
30:47She can still be useful
30:52You bailed me out what do you want me to do? I have nothing left
30:56Lily won't acknowledge me the entire world hates me and now i'm even hiding from the police
31:01You are claire's best friend you know all her secrets and you know where she's most vulnerable
31:07If you cooperate with me i'll give you a place to stay everything i promised before you'll get
31:13I'll even give you five percent of sterling group shares a weakness
31:20Wait if we can prove emma isn't lucas's biological daughter claire is finished
31:25Doesn't claire have a lawyer?
31:27Hire paparazzi to snap a photo of claire and kairi meeting privately creates some suspicion
31:32The sterling group shares will have no choice but to go to you
31:36Exactly
31:38If i say lucas doubted emma's identity before he died how could claire prove her innocence forging lucas handwriting that
31:45won't be difficult for me
31:54Members of the press i am here to publicize a private agreement signed by lucas sterling before his passing
32:00This 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 of all the sterling group shares would be
32:10transferred to me
32:15And today we are going to expose an even more terrifying truth claire sterling already knew there were doubts about
32:20emma's parentage
32:21To secure the inheritance she fabricated this entire baby swapping farce destroyed her best friend and paint herself as the
32:27victim
32:28Yes, I swapped the babies
32:30But I did it because I realized emma looked nothing like lucas
32:33I was afraid the hospital would do something so I helped her keep the secret
32:37But later claire
32:40Claire wanted to make me the scapegoat and throw me away
32:43I had no choice but to step forward and tell the truth
32:54That agreement is definitely forged and that photo was taken when I was reporting to you
32:59They deliberately manipulated 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
33:19Kyrie come with me to the hospital marcus mccreet's for checkups the dna records he left there will become the
33:24final proof of emma's identity
33:33Significant 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 how
33:49could they still disrespect him like this
33:53I saw it emma they keep using public opinion to crush mrs sterling
33:58This proves we can't just keep reacting we need to find their real weakness
34:04But what can we do should we tell mom no emma mrs sterling must be overwhelmed right now
34:12Maybe we can do something ourselves
34:17I have an idea if i go back to vanessa and pretend i trust her again maybe we can find
34:22out what they're planning next
34:24Lily what are you thinking you can't go back vanessa will hurt you it's the only way
34:29We'll know every card they're holding and we can take them down once and for all
34:34I spent 21 years surviving her i know exactly how to deal with her
34:39Trust me
34:42This time i'm protecting the people i want to protect
34:50Okay let me help you with this plan
34:54This time we'll protect mom together
35:12We'll protect mom together
35:14You mom
35:15I was wrong claire got inside my head before her adopting me wasn't because she loved me
35:19She just needed me to protect her image
35:21I was fooled by her
35:23A few days ago you stood at the school gate and said you wanted nothing to do with me
35:27And now you come back saying all this
35:30You really think i'll believe you i've been watching the news these past two days
35:34They said emma might not be lucas's child so claire adopting me is just using me isn't it
35:39I'm really scared mom you're the only person i have left
35:48Mom i hated you but you're all i have no matter how good claire is to me she's an outsider
35:54Emma is her real daughter what am i if one day she doesn't need me as a tool anymore where
35:58will i go
35:59You finally understand everything mommy did was for you you could live a good life claire is just a wolf
36:05in sheep's clothing
36:06Mom i know you want revenge on her emma is the person she cares about most
36:10If we can kidnap emma and make her taste what it's like to lose a child she'll completely break emma
36:16still trusts me
36:17I can help you
36:18Good girl i knew it you're my daughter you're just like me more ruthless than anyone i'll go find marcus
36:26right now
36:27I'll tell him this plan our plan has begun
36:32She's my daughter she hates claire just like i do marcus this is the opportunity
36:37We've been waiting for as long as emma is in our hands claire will have to obey us
36:41Are you sure your daughter is trustworthy blood is blood she knows how to choose what benefits her
36:45She knows claire is done for so she has to defect to us think about it if emma disappears claire
36:50will definitely fall apart
36:51When you step in to take control of the sterling group who could possibly stop you
36:57She's my daughter
37:02Fine have lily lure emma out i'll handle the kidnapping don't worry this time claire will lose everything
37:08They agreed marcus will send people to kidnap you tomorrow night find a chance to be alone turn on your
37:14bracelets recording mode
37:15I'll keep acting in front of them until they reveal the truth themselves lily are you sure this will work
37:19if they find out you're deceiving them
37:21I spent 21 years being abused by vanessa they think i'm just a broken girl who's terrified of being hit
37:26They'd never expect me to fight back emma trust me once we get the evidence i'll get you out through
37:30the back route
37:33Okay i'll keep the bracelet hidden see you tomorrow
37:45Mom this time you don't have to protect us it's lily and me protecting you
37:50Times
37:56.
37:57.
38:12Gracias.
38:15.
38:21Thirsty? Hungry?
38:24Emma, what a pity.
38:25Auntie is never going to be nice to you again.
38:27For 21 years, I thought you were my daughter.
38:29I fawned over you in every possible way,
38:31not expecting that your mother swapped the baby's back.
38:34I was a fool for 21 years!
38:36You better not die too soon.
38:38I still need your mother to come on her knees
38:40and beg me to let you go!
38:52And the next time I was able to do it...
38:53I thought I would love her for you.
38:57Hold on a bit longer.
38:58She must be contacting Marcus.
39:00Once they're all here, we'll make them reveal everything themselves.
39:02Is your bracelet recording?
39:04The whole time.
39:05But the rope is too tight.
39:07Help loosen it a bit.
39:10What are you doing?
39:13What are you doing?
39:17I was warning her, making sure she cooperates.
39:20I want her to admit that Claire and Kyra have an inappropriate relationship.
39:24Don't even think about it.
39:26Vanessa, my mom treated you like family.
39:28I can't believe this is what she got in return.
39:30Now you want to frame her and accuse her of having an affair?
39:33Do you even have a conscience?
39:34Conscience?
39:36I grew up with Claire.
39:37What made her better than her?
39:39Why did she get to marry Lucas Sterling and live in luxury?
39:41And me?
39:42I was just a mechanic's wife.
39:43While she lived in glory, I was washing dishes to pay off gambling debts.
39:47Why?
39:47Why does she always get to be lucky one?
39:54Why?
40:00Why does she always get to be lucky one?
40:02I won't even spare her a glance.
40:06Something's wrong.
40:07The expressions?
40:08Could it be?
40:17Lily, you said you hate Claire.
40:19Prove it to me.
40:20I don't care how you do it.
40:21I want Emma to admit that Claire and Kyra are having an affair.
40:30Does it have to come to this?
40:31What?
40:31You can't bring yourself to do it?
40:33She enjoyed 21 years of your mother's love.
40:35You suffered for 21 years.
40:36You're feeling sorry for her?
40:37Don't tell me.
40:40Keep dreaming.
40:42My mother did nothing wrong.
40:43I won't say a single word.
40:45If you have the gut, just lock me up forever.
40:52Still refusing to cooperate?
40:54Let's see how long you can keep that attitude.
40:58Lily, I don't want to say this a third time.
41:00Do it yourself.
41:01Make her talk.
41:03If she refuses, use the pipe.
41:05Break her arm.
41:17What, you can't do it?
41:18Hit her.
41:19Once you do it, I'll believe you're really on our side.
41:21Do it!
41:22Hit her!
41:28I, I can't do it.
41:30I've never hurt anyone before.
41:32Keep her tied up is enough.
41:34Why do you have to cripple her?
41:35If she dies, what are we going to use her against her?
41:37Stop wasting time.
41:38I'll do it!
41:39I don't think you're afraid.
41:40You just don't want to do it at all.
41:42Vanessa, there's something wrong with your daughter.
41:44She's on Emma's side.
41:45They must be putting on an act.
41:47No.
41:47I just, I really can't do it.
41:49Too scared?
41:50That's easy to fix.
41:52Since you refuse to do it, you can stay here with her.
41:59Marcus, you're part of the Sterling family.
42:01I am your own niece.
42:03You even questioned my empathy before.
42:04How can you do this to your own family?
42:06What did you say?
42:07I said you're not fit to call yourself a man.
42:09You've been nothing but a failure, only able to climb up using dirty tricks like kidnapping and forgery.
42:13No wonder Grandpa and Dad both thought the Sterling group couldn't be handed over to you.
42:16You little bitch.
42:17Your mouth is as venomous as your mother's.
42:19Since you refuse to cooperate, I'll make sure you never speak again.
42:22I don't care what tricks you're trying to pull.
42:24Once you're gone, Claire will break.
42:25And then, the group will belong to me.
42:43Why can't I reach them?
42:45Lily, Emma, where are you?
42:49Madam, the men protecting Miss Emma and Miss Lily just reported.
42:52They were kidnapped near the parking lot and forced into a black license plateless van.
42:56We tracked the vehicle.
42:57It was last seen near the abandoned warehouses in the East District.
43:00Did you call the police?
43:01Yes, but it will take them at least 15 minutes to get there.
43:06Tell them to hurry.
43:07I'm going there first.
43:21Lily!
43:27I knew it.
43:28You two were in this together.
43:31Vanessa, you really raised a good daughter.
43:39Recording?
43:40You're fucking recording this, you little brats!
43:43You actually tricked me!
43:50Lily, I carried you for 10 months.
43:53And you betrayed me for an outsider.
43:55I'll make sure both of you die together!
43:57Lily!
43:59Vanessa, stop!
44:06Vanessa, stop!
44:10Claire?
44:12Claire, you actually came here alone?
44:14You've got some nerve.
44:16Marcus, stop this.
44:18Emma has the exact same birth march as Lucas.
44:21And I've already had a paternity test done using the DNA you left with Emma.
44:26So what?
44:27As long as you all die, no one's left to prove anything.
44:31Take her down.
44:32Take her down.
44:52Claire!
44:53So what have you rushed here?
44:55You destroyed my life!
44:58I'm going to kill them right in front of you.
45:00Make you suffer the rest of your life a thousand times more than me!
45:13You're crazy!
45:14She's not even your biological child!
45:16I'm not here to prove who is more like a mother.
45:18I said it before, I will not allow you to hurt her ever again.
45:44Marcus Sterling, Vanessa Reed, you are under arrest for kidnapping, intentional assault, and illegal detention!
45:55I almost lost you two again today.
45:57That is 10,000 times more terrifying than losing my position or shares.
46:03When I was five, I fell and broke my front teeth.
46:05My mouth was full of blood.
46:07A hungover Vanessa kicked me away and said my rotten teeth were fitting because I had a rotten life anyway.
46:12That 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.
46:18Mom!
46:18Mom!
46:29The defendant, Vanessa Reed, for the crimes of kidnapping, intentional assault, child abuse, perjury, and fraud, is sentenced to life
46:38imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.
46:41All her guardianship rights over the victim, Lily Reed, are hereby revoked.
46:45The defendant, Marcus Sterling, for planning and assisting in the crimes, is convicted on the same charges.
46:54Lily!
46:56Mom was wrong!
46:58I was just confused!
47:00I carried you for 10 months and gave birth to you!
47:04Please, say something for me!
47:06Help me get a lighter sentence!
47:08It is!
47:11Lily!
47:13Help me get a lighter sentence!
47:1610 months of pregnancy?
47:18Then what about the 21 years of pain you caused me?
47:20That day in the warehouse, you even wanted to stab me to death!
47:23Did you ever consider then that you carried me for 10 months?
47:26You say you're my mother.
47:27Then answer me.
47:29When did you ever truly act like one?
47:31Your biggest regret was never hurting me.
47:34It's that you finally have to pay the price for it.
47:37You gave me life, but that doesn't mean you own it.
47:40You are my past.
47:41You are no longer my family.
47:54Claire, the previous suspension vote was because we were misdead by...
47:56Today is not a meeting to apologize to my mother.
47:58As the controlling shareholder, I accept all findings from the independent audited.
48:02At the same time, I'll remove the directors who participated in concealing related party transactions and appoint two new independent
48:08directors.
48:09Family control is not a privilege exempt from supervision.
48:12The Sterling Group will no longer operate on one person's secrets.
48:15Nor will we ever give Marcus a second chance to slip into a black box.
48:20Remember this.
48:21What truly protects a family is not conspiracy and calculation, but trust and love.
48:30Don't be nervous.
48:31Yeah, once you write down your name, you'll officially be a member of the Sterling family.
48:43Congratulations, Miss Sterling.
48:48From now on, when we argue, I'll have even more confidence.
48:51After all, I'm the older sister.
48:52Oh, please.
48:53You were only born three minutes before me.
48:59Come on.
49:00The first toast to our family finally being complete.
49:07Lily, welcome home.
49:11Mom, thank you.
49:13Thank you for never giving up on me.
49:26Mom, look at this.
49:28The first year results for the Sterling Women's Education Fund are out.
49:31In just one year, we've helped over 5,000 girls from underprivileged families return to school.
49:37The Sterling Women's Education Fund, launched by the Sterling Group, has provided educational
49:42opportunities for over 5,000 girls from disadvantaged backgrounds in its first year.
50:01Mom, open it.
50:05Lily.
50:06Mom!
50:07Lily and I made this necklace together.
50:09The two leaves represent the two of us.
50:11From now on, we're a family forever.
50:15Having you two makes me the happiest mother in the world.
50:18I don't know.
