AmusantTranscription
01:30Ethan walked into the room with his secretary.
01:32Right behind them, a group of friends stared at me with gloating expressions, waiting for a good show.
01:36Vivian, aren't you the one who loves punishing people for not being able to pay their bills?
01:41Why don't you experience it for yourself right now?
01:43What should you do when you have no money to pay?
01:45I heard this Vivian came from the slums and just got lucky enough to catch the eye of a mafia
01:48young master,
01:49but now her own husband is walking in with a new love tense just to watch her squirve over a
01:52bill she can't afford.
01:54Look at that. This is what happens when you try to climb the social ladder just by using your looks.
01:59Exactly. How long can rich young master spots a younger, prettier girl?
02:02It means her luxurious lifestyle has come to an end.
02:04I slowly clenched my fists, the anger of being publicly humiliated instantly surging through me.
02:09Just as I had guessed, Ethan had deliberately set this trap for me just to get back at me.
02:14Ethan took his secretary Sophie by the hand, walked up to the front, and pulled out a chair to sit
02:18down.
02:18Sophie, don't worry. Whatever humiliation Vivian put you through back then, I'm going to return it to her tenfold.
02:24Sophie's face lit up with surprise.
02:26Vivian, you're nothing more than a talentless parasite living off your looks.
02:29What right did you have to freeze my card?
02:31She grabbed an expensive glass of red wine from the table and smashed it right at my feet.
02:35You useless loser. With young master Ethan here to pay my bills, I can smash as many bottles as I
02:40want and we can cover it.
02:41But you? You're completely finished.
02:44Stop glaring at me like you want to eat me alive.
02:46If you've got your own money, pay the bill and walk out.
02:49Like she has any damn money to pay.
02:52All those dishes and uncorked bottles of fine wine, the total is so astronomical it'll make her head spin.
02:57She's always lived off the young master's money.
02:59The second she leaves him, she's an absolute nobody.
03:03Ethan stood up smiling, coldly scanning the room to humiliate me.
03:07Anyone who dares to help Vivian out of this mess is my enemy, and they'll be going against the Volante
03:12family.
03:12Everyone knew the Volante family was the most powerful mafia family in Gothmore.
03:16No one dared to cross Ethan.
03:17A few business partners who were close to me were about to stand up and help, but the moment they
03:21heard Ethan's warning, they quickly sat back down.
03:24See that the air is serious.
03:25He cares more about his secretary.
03:27I thought they were legally married. Who would dare help Vivian now?
03:30I was so furious that I lost control.
03:33I walked straight over, grabbed Ethan by the hand and demanded,
03:37Ethan, are you really going to humiliate me over some two-faced secretary?
03:41Ethan scoffed and slapped me across the face with his other hand.
03:44Yes.
03:45I could hardly believe it.
03:46I slowly turned back to look at Ethan.
03:48Three years married.
03:49He pursued me.
03:50At our wedding, he swore loyalty.
03:52He promised never to betray me, but now, only three years.
03:55Those vows, those memories, he destroyed them all with his cruelty.
04:00A beauty who marries into wealth has no real dignity.
04:03Once a prettier mistress comes, her rich life is over.
04:05But Ethan had no idea.
04:07I married into the Volante family willingly.
04:10Not for wealth or power.
04:11It was because I loved him.
04:13Facing my tear-filled, bloodshot eyes, Ethan pulled out a tissue.
04:16With a look of disdain, he turned away and wiped the hand he had just used to hit me.
04:20You knew I cared about my secretary, yet you still had to push things this far.
04:24Vivian, if you can't pay the bill, I'll have the manager strip you and make you leave this restaurant naked.
04:32The room erupted.
04:33Everyone stared at me with sarcastic, greedy eyes.
04:35Young master Ethan is ruthless.
04:37For his new flame, he'd make his own wife walk out naked.
04:40You said it.
04:41She won't be his wife for much longer.
04:43After tonight, Vivian's nobody again.
04:45Let's keep quiet and enjoy the show.
04:48Sarcastic, greedy eyes were everywhere on me.
04:50The middle-aged tycoons closed in, grinning.
04:53Gotta see if she's got a figure worth showing off.
04:56Humiliation burnt hot through me.
04:58Before leaving, Ethan had taken my card away to let my guard down.
05:02Nothing but this couture gown, not a cent to my name.
05:04To top it all off, my phone was dead.
05:07That was when I realized Ethan had planned all of this in advance.
05:11It's getting late, Vivian.
05:14Restaurant's waiting on you to pay so they can close.
05:16Don't tell me you actually can't afford it.
05:18What are you going to do now?
05:20If you can't pay, you'll be detained, thrown to the police?
05:23Didn't you pull that same stunt on me?
05:27Sophie pulled out a slim woman's cigarette, put it between her lips, and flicked a lighter
05:31to smoke it.
05:32I always knew you weren't good enough for him.
05:34He told me everything.
05:35How boring you were.
05:37How you never satisfied him.
05:38Arrogant look made me swing at her on instinct.
05:40Don't you ever talk to me like that again.
05:42How dare you hit me?
05:44The whole restaurant instantly descended into chaos.
05:47Vivian, stop.
05:48Worried about Sophie, Ethan quickly ordered the bodyguards behind him to rush over and throw
05:52me aside.
05:55What?
05:56You're allowed to humiliate other people but they're not allowed to turn the tables on
05:59you?
06:00My eyes were bloodshot as I glared at Ethan.
06:02The reason the Valenti family had risen to become the most powerful mafia family in Gothmere
06:07in just three years was because of me.
06:10I had used the power of the Moretti family to help the Valentis fight their way to the top.
06:14Even the Mafias on the street, who wanted to go after the Valenti family, had to back off
06:19because of me.
06:21Sophie, I had planned to tell Ethan everything on my birthday.
06:24I was going to tell him that I wasn't an ordinary woman.
06:27I was the heir to the Moretti family, the most powerful of the four major mafia families
06:31in the world.
06:32I just never expected someone's heart to change so quickly.
06:35I had misjudged him and I had clearly overestimated the kind of man he was.
06:39Ethan, do you really want me to leave this restaurant humiliated?
06:42Ethan let out a mocking laugh.
06:44Of course.
06:45Did you think I was joking?
06:47Sophie, emboldened by the bodyguards around her, raised her hand.
06:50and slapped me across the face.
06:53You pathetic bitch.
06:54Either you can't pay the bill and get locked up, or you can crawl out of here, you'll still
06:59have clothes on in the first option.
07:00And it's on the floor with that steak in your mouth, barking like a dog.
07:04Oh, right.
07:05The difference is you'll have nothing left.
07:07No clothes, no dignity.
07:09Pick one.
07:10I can't wait.
07:11With dozens of eyes watching the spectacle, I clenched my fists and stared at Ethan without
07:16a trace of emotion.
07:18Fine.
07:19Since this is what you chose, then when the Valenti family goes bankrupt someday, that'll
07:26be on you.
07:29Sofie immediately burst into loud laughter.
07:34Huh?
07:36Has this woman been reading too many novels?
07:39Does she actually think she's some secret billionaire with a hidden identity?
07:43She must have something wrong with her head.
07:46Someone should take her to a mental hospital and have her checked out.
07:49Stop bragging.
07:50Ethan glared furiously, convinced I lied, and hurled a glass of water at me.
07:54You think you can make the Valenti family go bankrupt?
07:56Who do you think you are?
07:58Worry about how you're going to deal with this mess.
08:02Manager?
08:02The manager immediately understood.
08:04He walked over with the security guards and said coldly,
08:06Ma'am, are you paying in cash?
08:08Or is someone else paying for you?
08:09The manager remained professional, refusing to humiliate me.
08:12Scanning the room, I spotted a former Valenti family business contact and headed toward her.
08:17She rose and stepped back the second she saw me approach.
08:20Vivian, don't come over here.
08:21I can't pay for you.
08:24Don't be scared.
08:25I'm not asking you to pay for me.
08:26I just need to borrow your phone.
08:29Is that okay?
08:30I only need to call a friend and have her bring money over to pay the bill.
08:35She's still putting on an act.
08:37Who in Gotham would dare bring money here to help you pay?
08:39Go ahead, give her a call.
08:41We'll give her another 30 minutes.
08:43We'll give her another 30 minutes.
08:45Okay.
08:45If she still can't pay by then, I'll have the men here strip her skirt off.
08:48After all, she was used by our Valenti heir.
08:50She must be worth something, right?
08:52Sophie turned toward the group of overweight men.
08:54They had been leering at me for a while.
08:55Following Sophie's instructions, my business partner handed me her phone.
08:59I immediately called my friend and told her to bring the money within half an hour.
09:03Time quietly ticked away, second by second.
09:05With only 10 minutes left, Sophie finally lost patience and stood up.
09:09I can't believe I actually believe this bitch.
09:11Her so-called friend is really going to bring money to pay for her?
09:14Exactly.
09:17She's just dragging this out to buy time.
09:19Manager, break.
09:21Have your people break this bitch's hands and legs.
09:23No one would dare offend the Valenti family by bringing her money.
09:26Stop wasting time!
09:27Just as the manager and his security guards approached me menacingly,
09:31I raised my hand and stopped them in their tracks.
09:37Hold on, isn't there still 10 minutes left?
09:39The moment those 10 minutes are up, someone will be here right on time to pay the bill.
09:43In your dreams.
09:44If someone actually shows up within 10 minutes to pay your bill,
09:46I'll bite down on a piece of meat and crawl out on all fours like a dog myself.
09:49You said it.
09:50Please remember that.
09:51I said it.
09:52So what?
09:52You all can bear witness for me.
09:53This show is so good, I don't even want to go home.
09:55Who would have thought coming out for a meal would let us catch a show this good?
09:58When 10 minutes were almost up, a fat man couldn't wait and reached for me.
10:01Don't touch me.
10:03That chest, that figure, even without touching it, I can tell it's top notch.
10:07Young Master Ethan, why don't you just hand her over to me?
10:10Why not?
10:11As long as she can't pay the bill, you guys are free to play with her however you want.
10:15Oh, then I'm going in first.
10:18Everyone was sure I had no money.
10:20They ignored my protests and closed in.
10:23With a mocking look, Sophie gave orders to Ethan's bodyguards.
10:26Get her!
10:27Pin her down hard!
10:28Yes!
10:29The bodyguards swarmed.
10:30Don't move!
10:31And surrounded me.
10:32Completely.
10:35I looked at Ethan.
10:37My heart sinking to the bottom.
10:39We're still husband and wife, at least in name.
10:41Yet he was letting other men humiliate me.
10:44Don't look at me like that.
10:45But he simply didn't care.
10:47With Ethan's words, those men shouted.
10:49Beautiful, come with me.
10:50I've got money, I can pay your bill.
10:52No, come with me.
10:52I've got more money than him.
10:54And I'm thinner too.
10:55They ordered their bodyguards to hold me down, reaching for my clothes to tear them off.
11:00I fought back with all my strength, only making them laugh.
11:04I memorized every one of their faces.
11:07You dare laugh at me?
11:10Just wait.
11:11I'll make you the laughing stock soon enough.
11:14And you.
11:16Strip her skirt off.
11:17Time's up.
11:18We don't need to give her any more time to starve.
11:21Before she could finish, black suits burst in.
11:24They forced the guards back.
11:26Then came Victoria, the renowned bank president of Gotham.
11:30Mrs. Vivian, I brought you the money.
11:33Thank goodness I'm not too late.
11:35Let's see who dares to touch her.
11:39Ethan, Sophie, and the others suddenly leaped to their feet.
11:42Their faces plastered with utter confusion.
11:44Miss Victoria, what brings you here?
11:46You're a major public figure.
11:47How could a nobody like Vivian possibly get you to personally deliver money?
11:50Sophie hurriedly rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she must be hallucinating.
11:55It's really Victoria, the notoriously famous bank president?
11:58Victoria didn't even spare Ethan and Sophie a single glance.
12:01She hurried over to me with a deeply respectful posture.
12:05Miss Vivian, Miss Chloe asked me to come sort this out first.
12:08She's also on her way here right now.
12:10Noticing that my clothes were an absolute mess of disarray,
12:13she whipped her head around, her cold gaze sweeping across the entire room.
12:17Whose mutinerous dogs gave you the nerve to show such utter disrespect to Miss Vivian?
12:21Instantly, the previously noisy restaurant plunged into a dead silence.
12:26If the Valenti family was the richest in City A,
12:28the businesses behind Victoria and the network of powerful connections she possessed
12:32were more than enough to crush the Valenti family into dust.
12:36When the Valenti family first climbed to the number one spot,
12:40people had murmured and speculated in curiosity.
12:42They just never guessed that the driving force behind it all
12:45was the very same trophy wife they had looked down upon.
12:47Back then, Ethan had said,
12:49I want to take our family and turn it into the strongest syndicate in City A,
12:53so I'll have all the money in the world for my wife to spend however she pleases.
12:56Now, everything had changed beyond recognition.
12:59I was the one who made him the head of City A's top mafia syndicate,
13:02and I could just as easily make him crash straight down from the peak.
13:09Faced with victorious fury, no one dared to whisper or murmur anymore.
13:13They could only look at each other in blank dismay.
13:16Vivian, she really, really had her friend bring money to pay the bill?
13:19Because our bet was still on.
13:21As long as I had the money to pay,
13:22she would have to bite down on a piece of meat
13:24and crawl out on all fours like a dog barking as she rolled away.
13:28No, this can't be real.
13:31How could the renowned Miss Victoria possibly be that bitch's friend?
13:36No one could answer her question.
13:37Miss Vivian looks like this.
13:39Was this your doing?
13:41Faced with Victoria's murderous interrogation,
13:43Sophie's legs went weak on the spot.
13:45What are you scared of?
13:46I'm right here.
13:48Ethan was the most powerful mafia heir in Gotham.
13:52Sophie might have reason to fear Victoria,
13:54but that didn't mean Ethan did.
13:55With that thought, Sophie regained her confidence and straightened up.
14:01I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Victoria,
14:03but I just want to tell you and tell her as well.
14:05In this City A, the Valenti family calls the shots.
14:09As for Miss Victoria, let me give you a piece of advice.
14:11This is my family affair, and it's not your place to stick your nose in.
14:14Back then, I was able to lead my family over your bloats to reach the number one mafia spot in
14:19City A,
14:20and today I can kick you right out of City A just as easily.
14:25Oh, that's quite a claim, Ethan.
14:27If Miss Vivian hadn't put in a good word for you back then,
14:30your little Valenti family would have been swallowed up long ago.
14:33Everything your family has today was given to you by Miss Vivian.
14:36You really don't know how lucky you are.
14:38But Ethan merely scoffed.
14:40He didn't believe a word Victoria said.
14:42I was tired, too.
14:43I didn't want to waste any more time arguing with them.
14:46I've paid the bill.
14:48But Miss Sophie, do you remember the bet you made?
14:55Let's not take sides just yet,
14:56since none of us know who the real big boss is in the end,
14:59but we can definitely sit back and watch the show.
15:02Right, right.
15:03Work is exhausting enough as it is.
15:05Now that there's a good show to relieve the boredom, we've got to watch.
15:08Sophie fiercely jumped out, pointing a finger right at my nose.
15:11You dead bitch.
15:12Stop acting high and mighty when you're given face.
15:14So I said it.
15:15What are you going to do about it?
15:16Young master Ethan calls the shots here.
15:19You think you can make me honor my promise just by relying on Miss Victoria's?
15:23I refuse.
15:23In your dreams.
15:24What are you going to do about it?
15:25Ethan laughed heartily, reaching out to caress Sophie's face,
15:29treating her absolute treasure.
15:30My smile turned even colder.
15:32Later on, when the Valenti family's capital chain snapped,
15:35and their territories were lost one by one,
15:37I only hoped Ethan could still laugh.
15:39Victoria frowned slightly and gave a subtle look to one of the men in black.
15:42Catching the hint, the bodyguard moved at lightning speed,
15:45throwing a single punch that sent Sophie crashing right down in front of me.
15:48Since you're the one who made that promise,
15:50you need to follow Mrs. Vivian's orders.
15:52Bite down on a piece of meat and crawl out on all feet like a dog barking as you go.
15:56The bodyguards promptly brought over a plate of raw beef.
15:59It's dripping, bloody appearance, instantly making Sophie gag and wretch on the spot.
16:04Ethan, save me!
16:05I'd rather die than crawl out bare of all dignity with meat in my mouth!
16:10Sophie's screaming pierced the air.
16:16Instantly, Victoria's men and Ethan's men clashed.
16:18But it wasn't long before Ethan's men were beaten flat to the ground.
16:21Sophie's face turned pale once more, beads of sweat streaming down her forehead.
16:25Victoria, I give you an inch and you take a mile.
16:28Do you really believe I can't make you vanish from City A overnight?
16:32Don't make an enemy of me just for a mere Vivian, because that is truly foolish.
16:37Victoria scoffed at Ethan's threat,
16:38turning instead to look at me with absolute reverence.
16:41Everything is at Mrs. Vivian's disposal.
16:43I stared at Ethan with a smile.
16:45What?
16:46You're allowed to humiliate me, but I'm not allowed to return the favette?
16:50Oh, right.
16:50Have my lawyer bring over a divorce agreement.
16:52Make sure it's fast.
16:53As soon as those words dropped, Ethan roared at the top of his lungs.
16:57Damn you, Vivian.
16:58If anyone's filing for divorce first, it's me!
17:01Who do you think you are to initiate it?
17:04Whether I have the right or not,
17:06once you sign that divorce agreement in a moment, you'll understand.
17:10By the way, your father might drop by shortly
17:12to beat an unfilial son like you to death.
17:14Shut up!
17:15Who the hell do you think you are?
17:16Coming all the way here just to beat me to death?
17:20Only now do I realize what a pretentious fraud you are.
17:23I don't know what trick you used to make Victoria help you,
17:25but she can bail you out for a moment, not for a lifetime.
17:28While we were arguing,
17:29a lawyer nearby delivered the divorce agreement papers.
17:33Since we're already divorced,
17:35there's no need for me to keep helping your Valenti family maintain its glory.
17:39Within half an hour,
17:41with just a single word from me,
17:42every single partner collaborating with the Valenti family
17:45will instantly cut ties with you.
17:47Your businesses will grind to a halt,
17:49your territories will fall one by one,
17:51and you will completely vanish from City A.
17:57Ethan and Sophie froze for a second,
17:59then burst into a piercing fit of laughter,
18:01as if I were talking complete nonsense.
18:03Vivian, haven't you finished showing off yet?
18:06You talked big earlier just to stall for time,
18:08and now that someone paid your tib,
18:09you're saying it a second time.
18:11Are you expecting the second-ranked Victoria family
18:13to help you take down the Valenti family?
18:15Do you know why the Victoria family is only ranked second?
18:18Because they've been kept under the thumb of the Valenti family all this time!
18:23After divorcing me,
18:24the way Ethan looked at me
18:25carried a trace of utter exhaustion and disdain.
18:29Vivian, for the sake of our past,
18:30I'll give you a shred of face one last time.
18:32Since you've paid the bill,
18:34hurry up and get on your knees to co-bow and apologize to Sophie,
18:36and we'll call it a day!
18:37I couldn't help but sneer at Ethan with utter contempt.
18:40Sophie hadn't even bitten down on the meat to crawl out of the restaurant yet,
18:44and he wanted me to get on my knees and kowtow to apologize first.
18:48Is he out of his mind?
18:49I raised my hand to check my watch,
18:52then curved my lips into a mocking smile.
18:54Why don't you make a call to your old man
18:56and ask him what the family situation is right now?
18:59Seeing that my tone didn't sound like a joke,
19:01Ethan panicked for a split second.
19:03Just as he was about to call his father,
19:05his dad kicked the door wide open,
19:06wearing his pajamas.
19:08You unfilkful bastard!
19:10How on earth did I end up sunning a worthless piece of trash like you?
19:19My good daughter-in-law,
19:20you hid your identity so deep!
19:22Richard cursed at Ethan,
19:23while hurriedly bowing and apologizing to me.
19:26So you're Veronica,
19:27the heiress of the Moretti family,
19:29the eldest miss of the head of the four great mafia families!
19:32It had been a long time since anyone had called me by the name Veronica.
19:36My real name was Veronica,
19:38not Vivian.
19:39Back then,
19:40when I came to City A to inspect the region,
19:43I had hidden my true identity.
19:45I just never expected that Ethan would catch sight of me
19:47and pull out all the stops to make a young, impressionable.
19:50Me fall headfirst into his web of romance.
19:53Ethan's eyes widened in horror as he stared at his father,
19:56then frantically reached out to grab my arm.
20:00Veronica?
20:01Are you that elusive eldest miss of the Moretti family, Veronica?
20:05I coldly shook Ethan's hand off,
20:07and Victoria immediately handed me a tissue to wipe myself.
20:10That made Ethan's face turn as pale as paper.
20:15Dad, what on earth is going on?
20:17Sophie was also burning with anxiety
20:19as she waited for the godfather's answer.
20:21She had heard of Veronica from the Moretti family,
20:24but had simply never seen her in person.
20:27That's right,
20:28she is the legendary Veronica.
20:30You utter fool!
20:32You actually offended her
20:34just for some cheap little bitch!
20:40An entire room suddenly erupted like a pressure cooker,
20:43bursting into a frantic, deafening up...
20:45Someone pinch me!
20:46Is tonight a bad dream or is this actually happening?
20:49Oh my god, it's all real!
20:52She really is Veronica from the Moretti family!
20:55To kiss up to Ethan and that damn little bitch,
20:57we even helped tear at Miss Veronica's clothes!
21:00Terrified whispers flooded my ears
21:01as everyone began desperately praying
21:03to whatever god they believed in,
21:05hoping I wouldn't hold a grudge
21:07or remember their faces.
21:09The Godfather was the first to snap back to reality.
21:12You homewrecking jinx!
21:13Where do you get off picking a fight with Miss Veronica?
21:15He raised his leg and kicked Sophie violently.
21:17How dare you command those fat old men
21:19to tear her clothes
21:20and demand Miss Veronica
21:21crawl out like a dog biting on raw meat!
21:23How many lives do you have to throw away?
21:26Dazed from the kick,
21:27Sophie landed splat at my feet
21:29once again like a dog.
21:30Only this time,
21:31no one dared to give her the leverage
21:33to act arrogant ever again.
21:35Trembling, she looked up at Ethan,
21:37casting him a desperate plea for help.
21:42Yet Ethan didn't even spare her another glance.
21:45Keeping his eyes locked entirely on me,
21:47the Godfather glared down at me.
21:49Everything the Valliani family has today
21:51was built entirely because of Miss Veronica!
21:57I didn't know at first.
21:59It wasn't until I took a trip to City B
22:01that I saw her sitting at the head of the table
22:03among a group of tycoons
22:04commanding absolute power
22:05as she led their summit meetings.
22:07That was when I finally realized
22:08what an extraordinary person
22:10my daughter-in-law truly was.
22:13Yet you went out of your way
22:14to dig your own grave,
22:16ruining everything
22:17just for a completely useless piece of trash!
22:20The Godfather of the Valenti family
22:22dropped to his knees
22:23right in front of me with a head of thud.
22:24Miss Veronica,
22:25I beg you to show mercy
22:27and spare the Valenti family!
22:28I said it before.
22:29I can push the Valenti family up to the peep
22:32and I can just as easily
22:33throw them right back into the mud.
22:35What are you standing there like an idiot for?
22:38Hurry up and Kogow
22:39to apologize to Miss Veronica!
22:40Do you want to drag the whole Valenti family
22:42down to hell with you?
22:43Ethan finally snapped back to reality,
22:46knowing that whoever tied the bell
22:47must untie it.
22:48He turned around and slapped Sophie
22:50across the face
22:51with all his mind.
22:53This is all your fault!
22:54You're the one who drove a wedge
22:55between my wife and me!
22:57Someone grab her!
22:58Force her to crawl out like a dog!
23:03Instantly,
23:04Ethan's men stepped forward,
23:05pinning Sophie down
23:06with a firm,
23:07inescapable grip.
23:09Ethan, make them let me go!
23:11None of this was my idea
23:13in the first place!
23:14You were the one who said
23:15you wanted to help me,
23:16Ben!
23:16Shut your mouth!
23:17Shut your mouth!
23:18You're the one who seduced me
23:19into doing this
23:19and now you're trying
23:20to shift the blame!
23:21Ethan, you really have mastered
23:23the art of dodging responsibility.
23:25Don't be so delusional
23:26as to think that punishing me
23:28will make Veronica
23:29let you and the Valenti family
23:30off the hack!
23:31Dream on!
23:32That is completely impossible!
23:34Sophie was mad.
23:35Even if Ethan punished her,
23:37I had no intention
23:38of sparing the Valenti family.
23:39But father and son
23:40still didn't understand that.
23:42No, she won't!
23:43Ethan spoke with complete arrogance.
23:45My wife was just acting
23:47out of a momentary fit of priest.
23:48She loved me so much!
23:50Otherwise, she wouldn't
23:51have been willing
23:51to hide her identity
23:52and stay in the Valenti family
23:53for three whole years!
23:55That alone proves
23:56how deeply she loves me.
23:58Oh, okay.
23:59The moment her anger
23:59cools down
24:00and I apologize to her,
24:01we'll make up.
24:05What are you standing around
24:06like fools for?
24:07If she refuses to crawl out,
24:09beat her!
24:09Beat her to death
24:10until this bitch
24:11is willing to crawl out
24:12on all feet!
24:12Following Ethan's instructions,
24:13those bodyguards
24:15stopped holding back
24:16and began raining kicks
24:17and plunging excesses
24:18down on Sophie.
24:20I'll crawl!
24:21I'll crawl out!
24:23Please make them stop!
24:31If you keep hitting me,
24:32my legs are gonna break!
24:34To protect her legs,
24:35Sophie finally swallowed her pride
24:37and fulfilled her promise,
24:39crawling out on all fours
24:41like a dog
24:41while barking as she went.
24:43after dealing with Sophie,
24:45I was ready to leave.
24:46Seeing me walk away,
24:47Ethan quickly reached out
24:49and grabbed my arm.
24:50Wife,
24:51where are you going?
24:52I've already punished Sophie
24:54and I promise
24:54I'll never embarrass you
24:55for another woman again.
24:57Will you come home with me?
24:58I looked at Ethan
25:00with an enigmatic smile.
25:02Mr. Valenti,
25:03are you out of your mind?
25:06Please respect yourself
25:07and stop claiming
25:08every woman you see
25:09is your wife.
25:10We already signed
25:11the divorce agreement,
25:12didn't you forget?
25:13Next time we meet,
25:15make sure you don't call
25:16the wrong person.
25:17Just as I shook off his hand,
25:18my childhood friend Alexander
25:19arrived on the scene.
25:21Veronica!
25:26You refused to be with me
25:27back then
25:28because of him?
25:32The sudden arrival of Alexander
25:34caused the crowd
25:35to gasp in awe.
25:37As I looked at his
25:38familiar figure,
25:39my thoughts drifted back
25:40to our university days.
25:42Back then,
25:44Alexander was the
25:45undisputed campus legend,
25:47the heir to a global fortune,
25:49breathtakingly handsome
25:50and academically brilliant.
25:52Countless female students
25:54would deliberately take
25:55long detours
25:56past the business school
25:57just to catch
25:58a single glimpse of him.
25:59Yet,
26:00he had only ever chased
26:01after me.
26:02I had just stepped out
26:03of the library
26:04when Alexander intercepted me,
26:06holding a massive bouquet
26:07off roses.
26:14Veronica,
26:17will you finally
26:17be my girlfriend today?
26:20Here he goes again!
26:21This is already
26:21Alexander's third confession today.
26:22Hasn't he been chasing
26:23Veronica for half a year now?
26:25If I were Veronica,
26:26I would have said yes
26:27ages ago!
26:28I looked at him,
26:29helplessly.
26:31Alexander,
26:32I've told you so many times,
26:34I'm not going to say yes.
26:37That's okay.
26:38Alexander wasn't discouraged
26:39in the slightest.
26:40If you won't say yes today,
26:41I'll ask again tomorrow.
26:42Instead,
26:43his smile grew even wider.
26:45If you still say no tomorrow,
26:46I'll ask again the day after.
26:48I've got plenty of time.
26:49I couldn't help
26:50but rub my forehead.
26:52Alexander,
26:53what do you even like about me?
27:01Do you really need a reason
27:07to love someone?
27:10All I know is
27:11I don't want anyone
27:12but you for the rest of my life.
27:14Oh my,
27:15Alexander is so smooth!
27:17Who on earth
27:18could resist that?
27:19But I simply let out
27:19a soft sigh.
27:20I'm sorry.
27:22I already have someone I like.
27:23For the very first time,
27:25the smile froze
27:26on Alexander's face.
27:27Who is it?
27:28I fell silent
27:29for a few seconds
27:29before speaking quietly.
27:31Someone.
27:32Someone I really, really like.
27:35Alexander's grip
27:35tightened around
27:36the stems of the roses.
27:38Is he more capable than me?
27:39I shook my head.
27:40It's not about being capable.
27:42The person I love
27:43is simply him
27:43and always will be.
27:45Alexander fell silent
27:46for a long time.
27:47So long that the surrounding crowd
27:49didn't even dare to breathe.
27:50Fine.
27:51Since you don't love me yet,
27:52I'll wait.
27:53I'll wait until the day
27:54you turn around
27:55to look at me.
27:55He gently placed the roses
27:56into my arms.
27:57Veronica,
27:58once I decide you're the one,
28:01I don't give up easily.
28:03I watched his retreating back,
28:05little knowing back then
28:07that this wait
28:08would span
28:08a full seven years.
28:14Alexander walked
28:15straight over to me.
28:17Wait,
28:18isn't that Alexander?
28:21The heir to the richest
28:22family in the world?
28:23Took off his suit jacket
28:24and gently draped it
28:25over my shoulders.
28:26What is he doing here?
28:27The gesture was natural
28:29and effortless,
28:29almost like he was
28:30claiming me as his.
28:31They had never seen
28:32my true identity,
28:33but they had seen
28:33Alexander before.
28:34And Alexander was tall,
28:35handsome,
28:36and undeniably impressive.
28:37Someone like Ethan
28:38didn't even come close to him.
28:39Especially standing
28:40side by side,
28:41the difference was obvious.
28:42Alexander completely
28:43outshone him.
28:43With Alexander here,
28:44Ethan finally felt threatened.
28:46We were already divorced,
28:47and after everything
28:49he had done to me,
28:50winning me back
28:51would be nearly impossible.
28:53Veronica,
28:54who is he?
28:55Before I could answer,
28:56Alexander turned his head
28:57and gave Ethan a faint,
28:58knowing smile.
28:58You want to know who I am?
29:00He reached over
29:01and straightened the suit jacket
29:02on my shoulders.
29:04I'm her suitor.
29:05His tone was calm,
29:06as if he were stating
29:07the most ordinary fact
29:08in the world.
29:09And her future husband.
29:10Ethan's expression
29:11changed slightly.
29:16Ethan's face
29:16instantly went pale.
29:19Future husband?
29:20Veronica,
29:21you said yes to him?
29:22I smiled helplessly
29:23and shook my head.
29:24That was just how
29:25Alexander was.
29:26He was direct
29:26and never liked
29:27beating around the bush.
29:28I gently patted his hand.
29:29Stop it.
29:30I'm not joking.
29:31You said no seven years ago.
29:33Now I can keep pursuing you.
29:34He said it without
29:35the slightest hesitation.
29:36The entire room
29:37collectively gasped.
29:40Ethan's fists
29:41slowly clenched.
29:43Only now did he
29:44finally realize it.
29:45The Veronica
29:45who once had eyes
29:46only for him
29:47was now completely
29:48someone else's.
29:49I didn't look at Ethan again.
29:50I simply slipped my arm
29:52through Alexander's.
29:53Let's go.
29:53Mom and Dad
29:54are waiting for us at home.
29:55Okay.
29:57Veronica!
29:58What about the Volante family?
29:59And what about me?
30:03Just like I said before,
30:05we're divorced.
30:05Your Volante family,
30:07your life,
30:07none of it has anything
30:08to do with me anymore.
30:09Ethan finally broke down.
30:11Tears instantly streamed
30:12down his face.
30:13If I hadn't humiliated you
30:14because of Sophie,
30:15if I had told them
30:16to let you go sooner,
30:17would you have forgiven me?
30:19Ethan, what do you
30:20really regret?
30:21Hurt me?
30:22Or finding out
30:23that I'm Veronica?
30:24If I were just
30:24an ordinary woman,
30:26if I didn't have
30:26the Morelli family
30:27or the status and power
30:28I have today,
30:29would you still think
30:30you were wrong?
30:30Would you have punished
30:31Sophie for me?
30:32Ethan's lips trembled slightly,
30:33but he couldn't say a word
30:34because deep down,
30:35he knew the answer.
30:36Life doesn't come
30:37and with what ifs.
30:38You have to live
30:39with the consequences
30:39of every choice you make.
30:42From the moment
30:43you chose to stand
30:44with Sophie,
30:45we were already over.
30:46I turned and walked away
30:48without another word.
30:49Alexander quietly took my hand
30:51and walked beside me.
30:52Steep by step,
30:54we headed out of
30:54Massadraunt
30:55until our figures
30:56disappeared completely.
30:58Okay.
31:00Ethan finally
31:01doesn't hold himself up anymore.
31:02He dropped heavily
31:03to his knees.
31:07Three months later,
31:08with just one word
31:09from the Moretti family,
31:10the once untouchable
31:11Valenti family
31:12fell apart within months.
31:14Their territory
31:15was divided up.
31:16Their businesses
31:17were swallowed whole.
31:21The mansion
31:22that had once been
31:23packed with visitors
31:24was now eerily quiet.
31:28Ethan did everything
31:29he could to save
31:30his family.
31:31He begged people
31:32everywhere for help.
31:33But those who once
31:34showered him with flattery
31:36wouldn't even agree
31:37to see him.
31:39While Ethan was running around
31:41trying to save the family,
31:43she secretly took
31:44the last of their money
31:45and jewelry.
31:46Then she disappeared
31:47without a trace.
31:53A few days later,
31:55Ethan finally found
31:56Sophie at a cheap motel.
32:02Sophie, why would you
32:03do this to me?
32:04Why?
32:05I was with you
32:06because you were
32:07the heir to the Valenti family.
32:08Ethan looked as if
32:09he'd been struck
32:09by lightning.
32:10Now that you have nothing,
32:11why would I stay
32:12and suffer with you?
32:13You said
32:14you love me.
32:15Love?
32:16I only ever loved
32:17your money.
32:17If I hadn't wanted
32:18to be the Valenti heir's wife,
32:19you think I would
32:19have ever chosen you?
32:20She walked away
32:21without looking back.
32:23But
32:23it didn't take long
32:25before the creditors
32:26took every penny
32:27she had stolen.
32:28With nothing left,
32:29Sophie was forced
32:30to live on the streets.
32:35One year later,
32:36sunlight bathed
32:37the entire garden.
32:39Alexander knelt
32:39before me on one knee
32:41and slowly opened
32:42the ring box.
32:43I looked down at him,
32:44my eyes slowly
32:45filling with tears.
32:46Veronica.
32:46This time,
32:47I didn't make him
32:47wait any longer.
32:48Seven years ago,
32:49you turned me down.
32:51Seven years later,
32:52will you marry me?
32:53This was the first time
32:54I saw the world's
32:55richest man smile
32:56like a child.
32:57I will.
33:00He solemnly
33:01slipped the ring
33:02onto my finger.
33:03Merchants and gangs
33:04from all over the world
33:05are sending us
33:06their congratulations.
33:07After the wedding,
33:09Alexander took my hand
33:10and gently placed it
33:11over my stomach.
33:13Veronica,
33:13from now on,
33:15we'll go home together.
33:16I smiled
33:17and nodded.
33:18Okay.
33:19Not long after,
33:20we welcomed
33:21a beautiful baby girl.
33:22Alexander spoiled me
33:23and made me
33:24the happiest woman
33:25in the world.
33:26And I finally understood.
33:27Someone who truly loves you
33:29will never make you
33:30feel wronged.
33:31He'll stand firmly
33:32by your side.
33:33He'll believe in you,
33:34protect you,
33:34and choose you every time.
33:36As for Ethan,
33:37someone later claimed
33:38they had seen him
33:39on the streets.
33:39Veronica.
33:40He was dressed in rags,
33:41looking completely lost,
33:42whispering my name
33:43over and over.
33:44But this time,
33:45no one would ever turn back.
33:50I was like,
33:50I'm sorry.
33:50you want to take
33:50that負 associated
