AmusantTranscription
00:00My adoptive sister Vivian always said you only live once, don't ever deprive your stomach.
00:05She smiled and pushed cheeseburgers, fried chicken and donuts toward me, comforting me.
00:09A girl's happiness comes first, don't let your body shape control you.
00:13But she only drank black coffee and ate salads without dressing.
00:17She trained posture every morning and perfected every smile in the mirror late at night.
00:21At my 18th coming of age gala, the socialites mocked me for being fat as a pig.
00:27But Vivian danced in a gown, stunning everyone with her slim waist and long legs.
00:31My fiancé, Kieran Sterling, cancelled our engagement on the spot, then proposed to Vivian instead.
00:37I raised my glass to them through tears and walked away without looking back.
00:41Six months later, the richest family, the Valeriuses, hosted a charity gala.
00:46Vivian got an invitation as the Sterling group's future daughter-in-law.
00:49Yet she immediately spotted me beside Cassian Valerius, head of the Valerius group.
00:54A wealthy lady nudged her arm.
00:56Why are you just standing there?
00:57That's Mr. Valerius' fiancé.
00:59Go greet her.
01:00Nora Ashford, can you stop eating?
01:02You look like a fat pig.
01:05Tonight is your coming of age gala, not a pig feeding show.
01:09Do you have to embarrass me in front of everyone?
01:13Kieran finally couldn't take it anymore.
01:16I'd snap too.
01:17Having a fiancé like that would embarrass the Sterlings.
01:20Her dress is about to burst.
01:22How dare the Ashford's let her come out?
01:24She's still eating.
01:25She has zero self-awareness.
01:27I looked down at the cream puff in my hand.
01:29It was pretty sweet.
01:31Too bad someone's foul mouth ruined my appetite.
01:33I stayed silent, and Kieran's face darkened even more.
01:37Nora, did you hear me?
01:39I swallowed the last bite slowly.
01:41Just as I was about to speak, Vivian came running over, gathering up her silver gown.
01:46She stood in front of me, her eyes turning red in an instant.
01:50Kieran, don't talk to Nora like that.
01:52She's bad-tempered, out of shape, stubborn, selfish, and petty.
01:56But she's still your fiancé.
01:58Won't be able to handle, called fat.
02:01I looked at her and almost laughed out loud.
02:03What a way with words.
02:05One plea, and she made me seem bad-tempered, out of shape, and overly sensitive.
02:10Vivian, you are too kind.
02:11She doesn't deserve your defense.
02:14No.
02:14Nora was just spoiled growing up.
02:17She eats whatever she wants, throws tantrums.
02:20No one could ever control her.
02:22Unlike me, I've always lived under someone else's roof.
02:25I'm afraid they'll dislike me for eating too much or asking for more.
02:30Vivian is so pitiful.
02:32She's this considering, but she still has to defend Nora.
02:35Nora's been spoiled rotten, and she's so fat her gown's about to burst.
02:38How dare she still act like some spoiled princess?
02:40Fat, mean, completely classless.
02:42What makes her worthy of Kylan?
02:43Kylan isn't blind.
02:45If he's getting married, he should choose someone graceful, class, and presentable, like Vivian.
02:49Did you hear that?
02:51Even everyone else can see the truth.
02:54See what?
02:55See that you don't deserve me.
02:57His voice rose, like he'd finally found his chance.
02:59Listen carefully, Nora.
03:01My future wife cannot be a fat pig.
03:07Vivian immediately grabbed his sleeve.
03:09Kieran, stop saying.
03:11Nora will be sad.
03:14Sad?
03:15Did she ever care how I felt when she ate herself into this state?
03:20It's all my fault.
03:22It's all my fault.
03:23If I hadn't danced tonight, no one would have compared me to Nora.
03:27She wouldn't have been humiliated.
03:29I smiled.
03:30I smiled.
03:31Nice one.
03:31She could even turn her stunning dance into my humiliation.
03:35Her words seemed to push Kieran over the edge.
03:37He suddenly pulled out a ring box.
03:39He opened it.
03:40The diamond gleamed blindingly under the lights.
03:43I knew that ring.
03:44It was supposed to be on my finger tonight.
03:46But Kieran turned and dropped to one knee before Vivian.
03:49The whole room gasped.
03:51Vivian covered her mouth, tears falling even faster.
03:54Kieran, no.
03:56We can't do this.
03:57Nora is your fiancé.
04:00I can't snatch her things.
04:02Vivian, I'm done settling for less.
04:06I won't let you settle either.
04:09You're the one I love, and you're the one I'll marry.
04:12The crowd exploded.
04:15Oh my god!
04:17Kylan proposed in public.
04:20They are such a perfect match.
04:22Vivian looked at me through her tears.
04:24Nora, don't blame Kieran.
04:27If you're angry, take it out on me.
04:30I really never meant to snatch anything from you.
04:32I didn't speak.
04:34Everyone stared at me.
04:35They waited for me to cry, to scream.
04:37They wanted me to look like discarded trash.
04:40Completely broken and hysterical.
04:42But I simply picked up the last cupcake on the table and slowly finished it.
04:46I wiped my hands and looked up at Vivian.
04:49Are you done acting?
04:51The hall went dead silent.
04:53Nora, how can you say that?
04:55I've been helping you.
04:57Helping me?
04:59Helping prove I'm fat, I eat too much, and I have a bad temper?
05:04Helping prove I don't deserve the Stirlers?
05:06I didn't mean that.
05:08Then what did you mean?
05:10She bit her lip, looking wronged every bit the victim.
05:14I just feel for you.
05:17Feel for me enough to wear the prettiest gown and dance the most stunning dance?
05:21Then cry and beg me not to hate you?
05:28Enough, Nora.
05:29Breaking the engagement was my idea.
05:31Don't drag Vivian into your mess.
05:33I picked up a glass of champagne and raised it toward them.
05:37Kirian, Vivian, a toast to you.
05:39What game are you playing now?
05:42To your blindness.
05:44And to her rotten heart.
05:45The crowd gasped.
05:46I downed the champagne and set the empty glass back on the tray.
05:50One is blind, one is rotten.
05:53A match made in heaven.
05:54Then, I'll gladly give you my blessing.
05:58Kirian, looking at you makes me sick.
06:01With that, I gathered up my gown and turned to leave.
06:05When I reached the door, I heard Vivian crying in a hushed voice.
06:09Kirian, does Nora hate me that much?
06:12What right does she have to hate you?
06:14I paused, suddenly remembering the past five years.
06:18Vivian always said a girl's happiness comes first.
06:20She'd buy me fried chicken, cake, and pizza, smiling as she said,
06:25Nora, you are cutest when you are chubby.
06:27When I wanted to start dancing again, she'd ask with tears in her eyes,
06:32Do you think I dance better than you, so you want to compete with me?
06:35When I wanted to lose weight, she'd hug me and cry.
06:41You won't be cute if you lose weight.
06:43Don't worry about what others think.
06:45Be brave and be yourself.
06:47But she practiced ballet every morning and did Pilates every night.
06:50She weighed every bite of food down to the gram.
06:53She even went with me to choose tonight's gown.
06:56But she had the size altered two sizes smaller.
06:59It was so tight I could barely breathe.
07:01She just looked at me in the mirror and said,
07:03Nora, girls need to be chubby to break society's beauty standards.
07:08So I hadn't suddenly changed for the worse.
07:10She had slowly ruined me, all in the name of love.
07:13It was pouring rain outside.
07:15I stood at the bottom of the steps, my gown quickly soaked by the rain.
07:20Behind me stood the bright banquet hall filled with their applause, blessings, and mockery.
07:25I wiped my face, unable to tell rain from tears.
07:28Right then, a custom black luxury SUV stopped in front of me.
07:32The door opened and a man stepped out with an umbrella, stopping before me.
07:36He shielded me from the rain, his voice calm.
07:39Miss Ashford.
07:39I looked up at him, Cassian, head of the Valerius group, and the guests none could hope to reach tonight.
07:45He looked down at me and held out a handkerchief.
07:48Can you still walk?
07:51Are you here to watch the joke too, Mr. Valerius?
07:54He glanced toward the banquet hall.
07:56The joke is inside.
07:58You are not.
07:59When I got home, Kieran was already sitting on the living room sofa.
08:03Vivian leaned against him with red eyes, like I was the villain tearing them apart.
08:07I glanced at the hot tea on the table and smiled.
08:11What?
08:12Breaking the engagement wasn't enough?
08:15Did you come here for after-sales service?
08:17I came to save the Ashford's last bit of dignity.
08:20My dad shot to his feet.
08:22Kieran, you humiliated my daughter in public.
08:25How dare you set foot in the Ashford house!
08:28My mom's eyes were red and her hands trembled around mine.
08:31Don't be afraid, Nora.
08:33Mom and dad are here.
08:34Vivian immediately burst into tears.
08:37Mom, dad, please don't blame Kieran.
08:40It's all my fault.
08:42If it weren't for me, Nora wouldn't have been humiliated like this.
08:47So you know I was humiliated?
08:49She bit her lip, looking wronged, like I'd backed her into a corner.
08:53Nora, I know you hate me, but you can't force love.
08:57Kieran doesn't love you.
08:59That's not my fault.
09:01Nora, stop taking your anger out on Vivian.
09:04I made it very clear tonight.
09:06Looking like this, you don't deserve to marry into the Sterlings.
09:11My mom's voice trembled with rage.
09:13She doesn't deserve it.
09:15Who gave you the right to treat my daughter like this?
09:18She's an Ashford.
09:19Mrs. Ashford, don't be so sure.
09:22Everyone knows Nora is fat and spoiled.
09:24If I hadn't ended this engagement, the Sterlers would have become a laughing stock sooner or later.
09:28My dad grabbed a teacup and smashed it hard onto the floor.
09:30Get out!
09:31Broken porcelain covered the floor.
09:33Vivian flinched and immediately dropped to her knees.
09:35Dad, please don't be mad.
09:37I can back out.
09:38If Nora wants him, I won't marry him.
09:40I really won't.
09:40Her shoulders shook as she cried, but her hands clung tightly to Kieran's sleeve.
09:44Kieran couldn't bear seeing her like this and pulled her to her feet.
09:47What are you saying?
09:48You are the only one I want.
09:50As for Nora, if she can't find a husband, I might give her a chance for your sake.
09:53Once she loses weight and learns to behave, she can be my mistress.
09:56The living room went quiet for a moment.
09:58My mom was furious and raised her hand to slap him.
10:01But I stopped her.
10:02Mom, don't dirty your hands.
10:04I pulled out our old engagement contract and tore it to pieces.
10:07I looked at him and said each word slowly.
10:09Starting today, whether you marry Vivian or a stray dog, it's none of our business.
10:13Nora, how can you humiliate Kieran like this?
10:16I humiliated him.
10:17He called me a fat pig and said I didn't deserve to be his wife.
10:21He even said I could be his mistress if I lost weight.
10:23Vivian, why aren't you crying and telling him to stop humiliating me?
10:27Instead, you're already rushing to feel sorry for him?
10:29Her tears hung in her eyes and she couldn't answer for a moment.
10:32Nara, don't push your luck.
10:34Neither of you has any shame, so don't talk to me about saving face.
10:38Fine.
10:38Very well.
10:39Nora, you'd better remember what you said today.
10:41Don't come crying and begging me to take you back someday.
10:44Don't worry.
10:45I watched him put an arm around Vivian and walk toward the door.
10:48When trash takes itself out, I just pop champagne.
10:51Vivian reached the door and looked back at me, her eyes red.
10:55Nora, I really hope you find happiness someday.
10:58Stop cursing me.
10:59Her face stiffened and Kieran stayed by her side as they left.
11:02The moment the door closed, my mom finally broke down crying.
11:06Vivian is such an ungrateful wretch.
11:08Her parents died and her grandma begged us on her knees to take her in.
11:12We treated her like our own and she repaid us by stealing your fiancé.
11:15My dad looked grim.
11:17So what if you don't marry him?
11:18The Ashwoods can support you.
11:20My nose stung, but I picked up a pastry and took a bite on purpose.
11:24Mom.
11:25Dad, stop crying.
11:26That man isn't worth your tears.
11:28How can you still eat?
11:29I swallowed that bite of cake and smiled.
11:31Why shouldn't I?
11:33I dumped a blind man and kicked out a backstabber.
11:35Tonight is definitely worth celebrating.
11:37But I never expected Kieran and Vivian to be even more shameless.
11:41Early the next morning, Vivian knelt at our front door, crying and begging my parents.
11:46Uncle, auntie, I only have the Ashfords.
11:49Please love me one last time.
11:50Let me leave here as a bride in style.
11:52Kieran stood behind her, glaring at me even more coldly than last night.
11:56Vivian knelt outside, her white dress stained with dust.
11:59Her eyes were red, like she'd been terribly wronged.
12:01She looked up at my parents.
12:03Uncle, auntie, I know I shouldn't ask for this, but I grew up here.
12:06This is my home.
12:08Do I not even deserve to get married from my own home?
12:11My dad kept a dark face and said nothing.
12:13Mr. and Mrs. Ashford, Vivian has suffered enough.
12:16What will people say if you really throw her out?
12:19What will they say?
12:21They'll say the Ashfords raised someone who bites the hand that feeds her.
12:24And now she wants to leave her home in a wedding dress.
12:27Nora, I know you hate me, but I just want a decent wedding.
12:30I never wanted to snatch your things.
12:31Nora, I ended the engagement, and I was the one who proposed to her.
12:35Take your anger out on me.
12:37Don't take it out on Vivian.
12:39If Ashfords humiliate Vivian today, the Stirlerts won't continue working with the Ashfords.
12:43Are you threatening me?
12:45Just a reminder.
12:46Is it worth offending the Stirlings for a daughter no one wants to marry?
12:50Nora is my own daughter.
12:52Auntie, please don't be mad.
12:53It's all my fault.
12:54I shouldn't have begged you, and I'll leave right now.
12:55I can get married alone at a hotel.
12:57I never deserved a home anyway.
12:58I looked at Vivian and suddenly thought her face was made for crying.
13:02Every tear hit the softest spot in people's hearts, yet the knife always found its mark.
13:06Finally, my dad agreed with a grim face.
13:09Vivian's eyes lit up.
13:10But after the wedding, you'll have nothing to do with the Ashfords.
13:13Vivian's joy froze.
13:15Mr. Ashford, what does that mean?
13:16It means the Ashfords are giving her one last bit of dignity.
13:20Whether she becomes Mrs. Sterling or a joke, it's no longer our concern.
13:23Vivian bit her lip, tears welling up again.
13:25Nora, do you have to be so cruel?
13:28Compared to what you did, I'm being very polite.
13:30I can bear it if Uncle and Auntie let me leave the Ashfords as a bride.
13:33Kieran's heart ached for her as he helped her to her feet.
13:36Don't worry.
13:37I'll make sure everyone knows you're the one most worth marrying.
13:39I turned and went inside, too tired to watch them put on another act.
13:43But I never expected their shamelessness to go even further.
13:47Three days later, I came home.
13:49The moment I got upstairs, I heard a racket coming from my walking closet.
13:53I pushed the door open, and my face instantly turned cold.
13:56My gowns were thrown across the floor, and the shoe cabinets were a complete mess.
14:00The jewelry cabinet stood wide open, with half of it already empty.
14:04The ruby brooch my grandmother left me was pinned to Vivian's chest.
14:08A crystal ornament lay shattered on the floor.
14:10My dad bought it specially for me after I won my first dance award as a child.
14:14I stared at the mess.
14:15Who let you in?
14:17Vivian turned around from the mirror.
14:18She was wearing my satin gown.
14:20Its waist pulled tight with clips.
14:22The ruby brooch made her skin look snow white.
14:24Nora, don't be mad.
14:26Kieran said the engagement banquet can't look shabby.
14:29I need a few decent things to keep up appearances.
14:31So you came to steal mine?
14:33How can you call it stealing?
14:35We are sisters.
14:36I'm just borrowing them.
14:38Borrowing?
14:39Borrowing until you smash my things?
14:41Borrowing until you wear my grandmother's brooch?
14:43Vivian raised a hand and touched the brooch.
14:46A smug look flashed in her eyes.
14:48Kieran said this color suits me better.
14:49It's a waste to leave it with you.
14:52What else did he say?
14:54He said you won't need these things anyway.
14:56Nora, don't blame him for being harsh.
14:59He just feels sorry for me.
15:00But Kyler isn't completely heartless.
15:03He said if nobody wants to marry you after I marry him,
15:06he can keep you as a missus for my sake.
15:08As long as you lose weight, behave, and stop being so mean.
15:12My fingers slowly curled into fists.
15:14She acted like she didn't notice and continued softly.
15:17You won't be Mrs. Sterling,
15:18but at least you'll never have to worry about money.
15:21Nora, this is the last bit of dignity Kieran can give you.
15:24Don't be ungrateful.
15:25I looked at her and suddenly laughed out loud.
15:28What are you laughing at?
15:29I'm laughing at your nerve.
15:30What do you mean?
15:31You live off the Ashford, stay under our roof, and spend our money.
15:34You snatch my fiancé, rage my closet, and wear my jewelry.
15:38Now you want to use my belongings for your engagement banquet?
15:41And you even want me to be his hidden mistress.
15:44Don't make it sound so bad. I just...
15:46Just what?
15:46You've been an ungrateful wretch so long you think the world owes you?
15:50How can you humiliate me like this?
15:52I lived with the Ashfords for years.
15:54Don't I deserve a few pieces of jewelry?
15:56Deserve it?
15:58A hint of triumph appeared in Vivian's eyes.
16:00The next second, I raised my hand and slapped her heart across the face.
16:04F***ing dream on.
16:08Nora, are you crazy?
16:10Kieran rushed into the closet and shoved me aside.
16:13My lower back hit the cabinet corner.
16:14The pain blinded me.
16:16Vivian covered face and threw herself into his arms.
16:19Tears falling fast and perfectly timed.
16:21Kieran, don't blame Nora. It's my fault for touching her things.
16:24Kieran's face darkened, his heart aching for her.
16:26Why are you defending her?
16:27She's only like this because the Ashfords spoiled her rotten.
16:30I gripped the cabinet door, steadied myself, and let out a cold laugh.
16:34She stole my things.
16:35I slapped her once, and somehow I'm the spoiled one.
16:38Nora, I just wanted to borrow them.
16:40So many people will be at my engagement backlit.
16:42I can't look shabby or embarrass the Sterlings.
16:44So you raided my closet, wore my brooch, took my jewelry, and smashed my trophy?
16:49I looked at the shattered crystal trophy on the floor.
16:51I won my first dance championship at 12.
16:54Dad gave me this himself.
16:55It's just a broken trophy. I'll pay for it.
16:58Can you even afford it?
16:59He scoffed as if I'd just told him a joke.
17:01Nora, don't treat your junk like treasure.
17:03Vivian will be Mrs. Sterling soon.
17:04Letting her wear your jewelry is an honor to you.
17:06An honor for me?
17:08Stealing right in front of the owner, yet acting like it's perfectly justified?
17:11The Sterling's manner is truly eye-opening.
17:14Stop being sarcastic.
17:16The Ashford's clearly favor you.
17:18You have a whole closet, but Vivian doesn't even have decent jewelry for her engagement.
17:22She lived here for years. Doesn't she deserve a share?
17:24My mom had just reached the doorway, heard that, her voice trembling with anger.
17:28The Ashford's paid for everything Vivian ate, wore, and learned.
17:31She studied abroad, trained with top dance teachers, and got gowns and jewelry.
17:35What did we ever deny her?
17:36Tears clung to Vivian's lashes, and she looked like she was about to fall apart.
17:40What? Auntie, I know you've always been good to me, but I'm still not your real daughter.
17:44There are things I don't even dare admit I like.
17:46You didn't dare ask, so you just stole it?
17:49Nora, why must you humiliate me like this?
17:52I just wanted to look decent at my engagement banquet.
17:55My dad stood at the door.
17:56You don't steal your way to looking decent.
17:59Mr. Ashford, don't use such bad words.
18:02Vivian will be my wife.
18:04The Sterlers will give her everything then.
18:06Taking these things today is just borrowing them in advance.
18:08I took out my phone.
18:10What are you doing?
18:11Calling the cops.
18:13Vivian's face instantly went white.
18:16Kieran grabbed my wrist.
18:17Nora, don't go too far.
18:20Too far?
18:21Breaking into my closet?
18:22Damaging my private property?
18:23Taking valuable jewelry without permission?
18:25Do you know the law, Kyron?
18:27If not, I'll have my lawyer teach you.
18:29Don't call the cops, Nora, please!
18:31Today is my big day before my engagement.
18:33If you really call the cops, I won't be able to show my face again.
18:37When you stole my things, did you think about showing your face afterward?
18:41All the color drained from her face.
18:43Do you really have to ruin her?
18:45She ruined my things first.
18:47It's literally just a few pieces of jewelry.
18:49Then put them back.
18:50I shook off his hand and called my lawyer.
18:53Bring your team to the Ashford house.
18:54Take stock of all losses in my closet and collection room.
18:57File whatever cases apply and seek compensation wherever possible.
19:01Vivian lunged to grab my phone.
19:02Nora, you can't do this!
19:05Touch me again, and I'll sue you for grabbing my phone, too.
19:08Nora, you are truly vicious.
19:11Not as much as you two.
19:13One steals, one protects, and both lie through your teeth.
19:17My dad ordered the butler with a heavy voice.
19:19Keep everyone who entered the closet here today.
19:22Copy the security footage.
19:23Call the cops if anyone tries to leave.
19:25The stylists turned pale.
19:27They quickly put the jewelry boxes back.
19:29We are just here to work.
19:31We didn't know we weren't allowed to take these.
19:33Don't talk nonsense!
19:34I borrowed them and I'll return!
19:36How will you return this?
19:37I didn't mean to.
19:38The stylist knocked it over by accident.
19:41I played the security footage on my phone.
19:43It showed her sweeping the trophy onto the floor herself.
19:46She can't dance anymore anyway.
19:48Seeing her trophy just annoys me.
19:50The room went dead silent.
19:51Tears still hung on Vivian's face.
19:53But she couldn't cry anymore.
19:55Kieran, help me explain.
19:57I really didn't mean it.
19:58Kieran looked awful, but he still forced himself to speak.
20:01Even if she misspoke, you pushed her to it.
20:04Nora, do you have to embarrass everyone?
20:06I looked at him, suddenly found it ridiculous.
20:09Kieran, you can protect her, but don't treat me like an idiot.
20:12Now, put every single thing back.
20:14Anything broken, dirty, or damaged must be paid for.
20:17Vivian bit her lip hard and didn't move.
20:20I glanced at my lawyer's reply and said calmly,
20:22Fine, don't return them.
20:24When the cops arrive, you'll wear handcuffs to your engagement.
20:27That'll stand out more than your rubies.
20:29She trembled and could only took off the brooch and placed it in front of me.
20:32Kieran shielded her as they walked out.
20:35Nora, I will make you pay for today.
20:37Just then, my phone buzzed.
20:38A message popped up.
20:50Miss Ashford, have you decided whether you want to be Mrs. Valerius?
20:55Vivian called me while I sat in Cassian's car.
20:58Nora, Kieran and I are getting engaged today.
21:01Aren't you coming to see it?
21:02You almost had all this once.
21:04I answered the call and replied calmly,
21:06I have zero interest in someone else's worn-out leftovers.
21:09There was a second of silence.
21:10Then Kieran's voice came through.
21:13Nora, being stubborn won't help you.
21:15Hiding away just proves you are a sore loser.
21:18You have a lot of free time today.
21:20Thinking about your ex on your engagement day?
21:22Aren't you afraid your girl will cry herself to death?
21:25Nora, don't misunderstand.
21:27Kieran is just worried about you.
21:28You left home alone after that night.
21:30We worried you might do something stupid.
21:32Worried about me?
21:33Worried I wouldn't watch you two act like fools?
21:36Nora!
21:37Kevin, don't be mad.
21:39Nora is hurting.
21:40It's normal for her to say ugly things.
21:42She paused.
21:43She lowered her voice just enough for me to hear.
21:46After today, I'll be the sterling daughter-in-law.
21:48She can only watch, no matter how bitter she is.
21:51I hung up the phone.
21:52The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror.
21:55Madam, the charity gala or back to the villa?
21:57Madam, I was still getting used to that title.
22:00Three days ago, I met Cassian at a cafe.
22:02He slid a marriage contract toward me.
22:05He sounded as calm as if discussing a business deal.
22:08Miss Ashford, the Stirlers want to step on you to elevate Vivian.
22:11I can give you a much higher position.
22:13Why me?
22:14He looked at me for a long time.
22:16Because I have waited for you for a long time.
22:20I didn't understand.
22:21But I signed it.
22:22Not for Kieran.
22:23Not for Vivian.
22:24I just wanted to see their faces when they realized I wasn't ruined.
22:28To the gala.
22:29At the same time, Vivian's engagement banquet was in full swing.
22:32She rode in a clear floral float around downtown.
22:35White tulle, diamonds and flowers everywhere.
22:38She wanted the whole city to see how much Kieran spoiled her.
22:41The live stream camera zoomed in on her face.
22:44Who do you want to say something to today?
22:45I want to tell Nora to let go.
22:47You can't force love.
22:49Kieran and I wish her the best.
22:51The comments flooded with sympathy.
22:53Vivian is so kind.
22:55She still speaks up for that fat rich girl.
22:58Nora is probably crying her eyes out right now.
23:00Vivian leaned into his arms.
23:02After the party, they rushed to the Valerius charity gala.
23:05It was the first public appearance of the Valerius chairman after his wedding.
23:09Every wealthy family wanted to suck up to him.
23:12Vivian held Kieran's arm as they walked in.
23:15Kieran, I heard Nora went abroad because she was so embarrassed.
23:18Do you think she's okay?
23:21She's a fat pig.
23:22If she hangs self, she'll just break the rope.
23:25Stop worrying.
23:26Vivian, you are just too kind-hearted.
23:28Kieran should have dumped that fat pig ages ago.
23:30Marrying you proves he has great tape.
23:32Vivian looked down.
23:33She couldn't hide her smirk.
23:35Right then, the banquet hall fell completely silent.
23:38The host's voice rang out.
23:39Mr. Cassian Valerius and his wife.
23:41Everyone turned around at once.
23:45I held Cassian's arm.
23:46We walked into the spotlight.
23:48My black velvet gown hugged my curves perfectly.
23:51My grandmother's ruby brooch was pinned to my chest.
23:53It was the exact one Vivian tried to steal.
23:56I wasn't skinny like her.
23:57I looked elegant and majestic.
23:59Kieran's wine glass shook.
24:01Nora, how did you sneak in here?
24:03Cassian stopped walking.
24:05Kieran.
24:06His voice wasn't loud, but it silenced the room.
24:09This is my wife.
24:10Are you questioning my security or my taste?
24:13Kieran's face instantly went white.
24:14Vivian looked like her soul had been sucked out.
24:17Impossible.
24:18How could this fat pig be Mrs. Valerius?
24:20I just went to the restroom to touch up my lipstick.
24:23I came back to see Vivian standing in front of Cassian.
24:26She held half a glass of champagne.
24:29Her shawl rested loosely on her shoulders.
24:31It slipped down slightly to reveal her white neck.
24:33She had purposely pulled her neckline lower.
24:35Her diamond necklace rested on her skin.
24:37It sparkled under the lights.
24:39Mr. Valerius, I know I shouldn't say this, but I'm really worried about Nora.
24:43Cassian stood by the window and held a glass.
24:45Vivian took a half step forward.
24:47She was spoiled since childhood, so she has a bad temper.
24:51I'm happy you are protecting her today.
24:53But I'm afraid...
24:54She stopped, acting like she couldn't bear to finish.
24:57Afraid of what?
25:00Vivian's eyes lit up.
25:01I'm afraid she married you on impulse just to spite us.
25:04She always does shocking things to prove she didn't lose.
25:07She lowered her lashes and touched her shawl, but left it loose.
25:10I'm not saying she's bad.
25:12She's just too insecure.
25:14She snaps whenever someone mentions her weight.
25:16She used to throw tantrums at me about this all the time.
25:20Cassian didn't reply.
25:21Vivian leaned a little closer.
25:23Mr. Valerius, a good man like you shouldn't be tricked.
25:26She looks glamorous now, but she still loves Chiron.
25:30She just couldn't handle being dumped and losing to me.
25:32Her tears fell at the perfect moment.
25:34I don't want to ruin your marriage.
25:36I just don't want you to regret it.
25:37Cassian looked from her face to her slipped shawl.
25:40Are you cold?
25:41Vivian froze.
25:42A layer of surprise quickly filled her eyes.
25:45Her breathing grew lighter.
25:47Mr. Valerius, I'm not cold.
25:49Maybe I just drank too much.
25:51I'm a little dizzy.
25:52She leaned toward Cassian.
25:53The next second, Cassian draped his jacket over my shoulders.
25:56He wrapped it around me.
25:57His tone was gentle.
25:59You were gone so long.
26:00You should wear more.
26:01Vivian finally realized his words were never meant for her.
26:04The head of the Valerius group finally looked at her.
26:07What were you just saying?
26:08Repeat it in front of my wife.
26:09Vivian bit her lip.
26:11She couldn't say a single word.
26:12Why did you stop talking?
26:14Didn't you say the Ashford starved you and treated you badly?
26:17I pulled out an itemized invoice of her expenses over the years.
26:21Tuition, dance classes, nutritionists, etiquette coaches, therapy, study tours, custom gowns, jewelry, and art auctions.
26:28Every single expense was clearly listed.
26:31Your ballet teacher was the most expensive in the industry.
26:34Your monthly training cost more than my snacks for a whole year.
26:37You said we starved you, but you chose to eat dry salads and pushed cake to me.
26:42You said I stole from you.
26:43Look at the jewelry you are wearing.
26:45Which piece wasn't bought by the Ashfords?
26:47Vivian's face was as white as paper.
26:49She forced herself to speak.
26:50They bought these just to look generous to outsiders.
26:53At the end of the day, I was just a charity case.
26:56Since you deny our kindness, then pay us back.
26:59Nora, do you have to put a price tag on our sisterhood?
27:02Didn't you say we mistreated you?
27:03If it was mistreatment, doesn't this dirty money disgust you?
27:06Her face stiffened.
27:08I handed the invoice to my lawyer.
27:10The lawyer stepped forward.
27:11He spoke clearly.
27:12Miss Vivian's expenses for education, medical, clothing, jewelry, and private lessons.
27:16The total amount is...
27:17The crowd gasped when they heard the final number.
27:20That's impossible.
27:21Since you care so much, why don't you pay for her?
27:24Kieran, don't listen to her.
27:25She just wants to humiliate me.
27:26They gave me those things willingly.
27:27I didn't force them.
27:29Yes, we raised you willingly.
27:30That doesn't mean you can bite us.
27:32Vivian, taking our money isn't the most disgusting part.
27:35It's taking it while playing the victim.
27:37She turned as pale as a ghost.
27:41Enough.
27:41You have no right to push her like this.
27:43And you do?
27:44Kieran choked on his words.
27:46Give the restitution agreement to him.
27:49Cassian, what is the meaning of this?
27:51Don't you love her?
27:52Sign it and pay her debt.
27:53Everyone stared at Kieran.
27:55Kieran?
27:56Kieran gritted his teeth.
27:58He finally signed the paper.
28:00I took the agreement.
28:02True love is expensive indeed.
28:03The next second, Cassian held my hand.
28:06Notify the team.
28:07Suspend all cooperation with the Sterling family.
28:10Kieran jerked his head up.
28:11Vivian froze completely.
28:13From this moment on,
28:14the Valerius group will not work with the Sterlings.
28:17Cassian held my hand and we walked away.
28:20Kieran got a call from his father the very next second.
28:22What the hell did you do at the gala?
28:25The Valerius group cut all ties with us.
28:27The banks are re-evaluating our credit.
28:29Apologize to Mr. Valerius right now.
28:31All the color drained from Kieran's face.
28:34Dad, I can explain.
28:35Explain what?
28:36You ruined our biggest project for a woman.
28:38Beg for his mercy right now
28:40or kiss your inheritance goodbye.
28:42The call ended.
28:44Kieran stood there.
28:46He looked like he had been slapped in public.
28:48Vivian panicked.
28:50Kieran, everything will be fine, right?
28:53You said you would protect me.
28:58Protect you?
29:00Do you know how long we prepared for this project?
29:04Kieran, how can you blame me?
29:07Nora and Cassian are the ones bullying us!
29:12If you hadn't messed with Nora,
29:14would this have happened?
29:16Are you regretting it now?
29:18Kieran didn't answer,
29:19but his silence was the answer.
29:21Vivian clearly understood his hesitation.
29:24Her fragile act crumbled.
29:27Kieran,
29:28don't forget you proposed to me in front of everyone.
29:32Now that things went wrong,
29:34you want to throw me away?
29:41I will die as the sterling daughter-in-law.
29:45Half a month later,
29:47Kieran stopped me at a charity dinner.
29:51Nora,
29:52do you really have to push the Stirlers to death?
29:56What does your death have to do with me?
29:59My dad wouldn't have killed my project
30:01if Cassian hadn't pulled out.
30:05My mom blamed everything on me.
30:10Did you forget?
30:13You were the one who signed to pay her debt.
30:17You were the one who offended Cassia?
30:20I was tricked by her.
30:22Nora,
30:23I finally know she was just using me.
30:27She purposely talked bad about you and seduced me.
30:31I was just blinded by her.
30:34I looked at him.
30:35I found it hilarious.
30:37Blinded into what?
30:40Blinded into calling me a fat pig?
30:44Blinded into saying I didn't deserve to be your wife?
30:46Or blinded into offering to keep me as a mistress?
30:50Kieran couldn't speak.
30:51I turned to leave.
30:52Kieran stepped forward to grab me.
30:54Before his hand could touch me,
30:56Cassian punched him in the face.
30:58Keep your dirty hands off my wife.
31:00My heart skipped a beat.
31:01He draped his suit jacket over my shoulders.
31:03He led me out.
31:04Kieran held his bleeding lip.
31:08What is so good about her?
31:10She was fat.
31:11She was dumped.
31:13Everyone laughed at her.
31:14You can have any woman you want.
31:16Why her?
31:18Cassian held my hand tightly and walked away.
31:20Sitting in the car,
31:21he placed some warm cinnamon rolls in my hand.
31:24Your favorite.
31:25Still warm.
31:26I looked at the cinnamon rolls in silence.
31:29Then I asked the question in my heart.
31:34Cassian, I'm chubby.
31:36Everyone laughed at me.
31:38Why did you marry me?
31:39Because I truly love you.
31:43Many years ago,
31:45a little girl ran up to my wheelchair.
31:47She held a box of warm cinnamon rolls
31:49and insisted on sharing.
31:51A blurry summer memory slowly became clear.
31:54Tree shadows, cinnamon rolls,
31:56and a quiet, pale little boy.
31:58My legs were hurt back then.
32:00My parents were too busy to visit.
32:02Some kids called me a sick freak who would never walk again.
32:07You ran over with your cinnamon rolls and stood in front of me.
32:10You fiercely said you would sit on anyone who laughed at me.
32:14A blurry image flashed through my mind.
32:16Cassian held my hand.
32:17His palm was very hot.
32:19Later, you gave me the last cinnamon roast.
32:22You said I was too skinny and needed to eat more.
32:25You also asked me if you were too fat.
32:29I thought to myself back then,
32:31she isn't fat at all.
32:32She is just very warm.
32:34My heart felt like it was gently struck.
32:37Cassian leaned closer.
32:38He tightened the jacket around my shoulders.
32:41The contract was fake.
32:42Wanting to marry you was real.
32:44Nora,
32:46I have liked you for a very long time.
32:50The Sterling family was already in ruins.
32:52The Valerius group pulled their funding.
32:54Banks called in their loans.
32:56Kieran was publicly grilled by his family board.
32:58His core projects were given to his cousin.
33:01His mother cursed Vivian in front of the whole family.
33:04You jinx!
33:06Kyran lost his inheritance because of you!
33:08Mom, I can beg Nora to spare us!
33:11You still have the nerve to mention her?
33:14Kyran wouldn't have offended Cassian
33:16if you hadn't stolen her fiancé!
33:18Vivian bit her lip.
33:20She couldn't say another word.
33:21Kyran sat nearby.
33:22He watched coldly without defending her at all.
33:25Nora, I will get everything back
33:27once you disappear.
33:28Vivian started to lose her mind.
33:30She believed she deserved to be loved
33:32because she was so disciplined.
33:34She had tried so hard to please everyone
33:36since childhood.
33:37Why did Nora get to be loved by Cassian?
33:39Nora was chubby and had been dumped.
33:41It wasn't fair.
33:42She wasn't willing to accept it.
33:44She contacted a fired sterling driver
33:46and hired some local thugs.
33:48She knew my weakness best.
33:49My parent.
33:50She spent all night planning
33:52what she thought was a perfect crime.
33:54I got a frantic call that day.
33:56Miss Ashford.
33:56Miss Ashford?
33:57Your mother fainted at an abandoned studio.
33:59Come quickly!
33:59By the time I arrived,
34:01the call wouldn't go through anymore.
34:05The studio was empty.
34:07It smelled faintly of rust.
34:08I turned to leave.
34:09A hand covered my mouth and nose.
34:11When I woke up,
34:12I was tied to a chair.
34:13Thick ropes bound my hands and feet.
34:15My wrists were bleeding.
34:17Vivian stood in front of me.
34:18She wore a white dress.
34:20Her makeup was perfect,
34:21but her eyes burned with crazy hellfire.
34:24Nora,
34:25you finally fell into my hands.
34:27You are crazy.
34:29I am crazy.
34:32Do you know what I hate most about you?
34:34Not that you are chubby.
34:36Not that you are stupid.
34:38It's that you don't have to do anything to be loved.
34:41I danced for 20 years.
34:43I tried so hard to be pretty.
34:45I tried to please everyone.
34:47I climbed so desperately.
34:49Why does everyone want you and not me?
34:52Cassian?
34:53Why didn't Cassian even look at me?
34:55Why does he love that chubby little kid you used to be?
35:01Vivian,
35:02no one took your things.
35:03You ruined everything yourself.
35:06Shut up!
35:07She shook with anger and pulled out her phone.
35:10She pressed a knife to my shoulder
35:11and started recording.
35:13Cassian,
35:14listen carefully.
35:15Come alone.
35:16No cops.
35:17No bodyguards.
35:19Stop attacking the Steelers
35:21and publicly divorce Nora.
35:24or I will kill her.
35:27I quietly pressed the recording pen hidden in my cuff.
35:30My wedding ring was still on my finger.
35:32She took my phone.
35:33She didn't know about the tracker in my ring.
35:35The sound of a car suddenly came from outside.
35:37Cassian pushed the door open.
35:39He wore the black coat I picked for him.
35:40He stood in the doorway against the light.
35:42He put his phone down,
35:44unbuttoned his coat,
35:45and walked forward.
35:45Vivian immediately pressed the knife harder against me.
35:48Don't come any closer.
35:51Let her go.
35:55I said,
35:56let her go.
35:57Don't you love her?
35:59Then get on your knees and beg me!
36:01Cassian,
36:02don't listen to her.
36:03Don't be afraid.
36:04My eyes burned with tears at those three words.
36:06A flash of twisted joy crossed Vivian's eyes.
36:09Neil,
36:10don't you love her, Cassian?
36:12Neil,
36:13and I will let her go.
36:14Cassian didn't look at her.
36:15He only looked at me.
36:16Then,
36:16he slowly bent one knee.
36:18My throat felt completely blocked.
36:19My eyes instantly turned red.
36:21Cassian,
36:22no.
36:23Don't be afraid.
36:24Vivian laughed out loud.
36:26Her hand holding the knife kept shaking.
36:28But the hatred in her eyes was colder than the blade.
36:30Nora,
36:31do you know what I hate most about you?
36:33I was tied to the chair.
36:34My wrists were bleeding.
36:35I didn't dare to move.
36:38The knife tip was right against my shoulder.
36:40She could cut my flesh with just a little pressure.
36:43Hate what?
36:46I hate that you are loved for doing absolutely nothing.
36:49She crouched in front of me.
36:50Her makeup was ruined.
36:52Her eyes were blood red.
36:53You were the real daughter.
36:54They gave you the best of everything.
36:56You were chubby.
36:57They said you were cute.
36:58You threw tantrums.
37:00They said you were innocent.
37:01You cry,
37:02and everyone revolves around you.
37:03What about me?
37:05I woke up at five to practice ballet.
37:07I only dared to eat a few leaves of lettuce.
37:09I practiced my smile,
37:10my posture,
37:11and my tone of voice.
37:11I worked so hard.
37:12Why am I still worse than you?
37:14No one asked you to live like that.
37:17What do you know?
37:18Of course you don't understand.
37:19You were born with everything.
37:20It's so easy for you to say that.
37:21If I don't try to be likable,
37:23no one will look at me.
37:24If I'm not pretty,
37:25obedient,
37:26and gentle,
37:26I'll always just be the charity case.
37:28She cried harder.
37:29She completely lost control.
37:31But why?
37:32I tried so hard to be perfect.
37:35Kiran didn't want me.
37:36The Ashford's didn't want me.
37:37Even Cassian didn't give me a single look.
37:39Why does he love you?
37:40You were chubby.
37:42You were dumped.
37:43People laughed at you.
37:44What gives you the right?
37:45My throat tightened,
37:46but I kept looking at her.
37:48Vivian,
37:48you can't steal love.
37:50She looked like those words
37:51physically stabbed her.
37:52Her eyes instantly turned vicious.
37:55Shut up!
37:55She raised her hand
37:56and slapped me.
37:59Cassian's face turned terrifyingly cold.
38:01Vivian,
38:02hurt her again
38:03and you won't even get the chance
38:04to regret it.
38:05Vivian flinched at his gaze.
38:07Then she laughed crazily again.
38:08Are you threatening me?
38:10I have her right here.
38:11You love her, right?
38:13Then sign this.
38:14She grabbed a prepared statement
38:15from the table.
38:16She threw it in front of Cassian.
38:17Sign it.
38:18Sign that you are divorcing Nora.
38:20Sign that she shamelessly seduced you.
38:22Cassian picked up the pen.
38:23My heart clenched tightly.
38:24Hear that, Nora?
38:26He's going to sign it.
38:28Did you think you were special?
38:30Men always choose themselves
38:32when it's time to pay the price.
38:35Cassian placed the pen on the paper,
38:36but he didn't write.
38:37A loud crash suddenly came from outside.
38:39Vivian instinctively looked toward the door.
38:41That was the exact moment.
38:42Cassian lunged forward.
38:44He grabbed her wrist
38:44and twisted it hard.
38:45The knife clattered to the floor.
38:47Vivian let out agonizing scream.
38:48At the exact same time,
38:50the studio doors were smashed open.
38:51Police!
38:52Freeze!
38:52The thugs hiding in the corners
38:54were pinned down instantly.
38:55Vivian was pressed against the floor.
38:57Cassian untied my ropes.
38:58His fingers trembled
38:59when he touched the bloody marks on my wrists.
39:01He pulled me into his arms.
39:04Does it hurt?
39:05I wanted to say it didn't hurt,
39:07but tears fell before I could even open my mouth.
39:10It hurts.
39:11I'm sorry.
39:13I didn't protect you well enough.
39:15I leaned against his chest.
39:16I heard his violent heartbeat.
39:18Vivian was still screaming
39:19as the cops handcuffed her.
39:21Cassian!
39:21You can't do this to me!
39:23I just loved you too much!
39:24I just wanted to be loved!
39:27Cassian looked at her coldly.
39:29You didn't want to be loved.
39:30You just couldn't stand
39:31seeing someone else be loved.
39:33The cops dragged her away.
39:34She suddenly looked back at me.
39:35Nora, I will never let you go.
39:37Worry about getting out of jail first, Vivian.
39:39She was taken away.
39:41The recording pen hidden in my cuff
39:42captured everything.
39:44She admitted to kidnapping,
39:45hiring thugs, extortion, and death threats.
39:48That, along with the security footage
39:49and the driver's confession,
39:51sealed her fate.
39:52The Sterlings didn't escape either.
39:53Cassian found out
39:54they knew about her kidnapping plan all along.
39:56Kieran didn't do it himself,
39:58but he let the driver help her.
39:59He wanted to use this
40:00to force Cassian to back down.
40:02The news broke out.
40:03The Sterling stocks crashed.
40:05Banks cut their loans.
40:06Partners canceled contracts overnight.
40:08The Sterling family
40:08went completely bankrupt.
40:10Kieran came to the hospital
40:11to look for me once.
40:12He stood at the door.
40:13He no longer looked like
40:14the arrogant heir he used to be.
40:15Nora, I was wrong.
40:17I sat on the bed.
40:18My wrists were still bandaged.
40:19Get out.
40:20I never want to see you again.
40:22Kieran instinctively
40:23took a step forward.
40:24Take one more step toward my wife.
40:26I will make sure
40:27your family's final liquidation
40:28is extremely ugly.
40:29Kieran froze in place.
40:31His face was deadly pale.
40:33That was the last time I saw him.
40:35I heard he was kicked out
40:36of the family later.
40:37He carried all their debts
40:38and a ruined reputation.
40:40As for Vivian,
40:40she cried in the detention center,
40:42begging to see my parents.
40:43The cold light hit her face.
40:45Her makeup was long gone.
40:46She banged on the iron door
40:47until her knuckles turned red.
40:49I want to see the Ashburns!
40:50Let me see them!
40:51I am their daughter!
40:52They won't abandon me!
40:53But my parents never came.
40:55The only message she received
40:57was a cold sentence.
40:58The Ashburns do not have
40:59a daughter like you.
41:00The media moved even faster.
41:01Her true background
41:02was completely exposed that night.
41:04Her real parents weren't
41:05ruined old friends of our family.
41:06They were just a pair of con artists
41:08who ran away with stolen money.
41:10A few months later,
41:11Cassian and I had our wedding.
41:12The dressing room was filled
41:14with white tulla and roses.
41:15I stood in front of the mirror
41:16in my custom gown.
41:17My fingertips gently brushed
41:19my waistline.
41:20The satin was smooth and cool,
41:21but it couldn't fully suppress
41:23my old insecurities.
41:24I still wasn't skinny like Vivian.
41:26The girl in the mirror
41:27still wasn't a standard thin beauty.
41:29Cassian hugged me from behind.
41:30His warm palms covered my hands.
41:32What are you thinking about?
41:34Do you really not mind?
41:35Mind what?
41:37My body shape.
41:39I mind people saying
41:40I don't deserve you.
41:41Cassian leaned down.
41:42He kissed the side of my ear.
41:44They don't get a say.
41:47The wedding began.
41:48The lights hit the end
41:49of the red carpet.
41:50All the guests were looking at us.
41:51The officiant asked
41:52if he would take me as his wife.
41:54Cassian didn't answer immediately.
41:55My heart clenched tightly,
41:57but he took the microphone,
41:59looked at the crowd.
41:59I know many people
42:00have talked about Nora.
42:01They said she was chubby,
42:03was dumped.
42:04They said she wasn't decent enough,
42:05didn't deserve anyone.
42:07The whole room was dead silent.
42:08He held my hand tightly.
42:10But I love her
42:11because she is Nora.
42:12Whether she is chubby or skinny,
42:14whether she is glamorous
42:15or a mess,
42:16whether she is praised
42:17or laughed at,
42:18she is the only one
42:19I want to marry.
42:23Don't cry,
42:24Mrs. Valerius.
42:26After today,
42:27no one will ever make you
42:27feel unworthy of love.
42:29The applause erupted.
42:30That broken engagement
42:31was not my shame.
42:32It was a door opened by fate.
42:34At the end of that door
42:35was a man.
42:36He had been waiting for me
42:37for a very long time.
42:38He held my hand
42:39and spoke to me.
42:41Nora,
42:42I finally married you.
42:44I've been waiting for you
42:44Thanks a try.
42:44Bye.
42:44Bye.
42:44Bye.
42:45Bye.
42:45Two.
