A Decade of Deception: Walking Away into Redemption 🖤✨

FunVidz

Ten years of lies, broken promises, hidden truths, and silent battles. A decade spent believing in something that was never real—but sometimes, the greatest act of courage is choosing to walk away.  This is not just a story of betrayal and heartbreak. It is a journey of self-discovery, healing, forgiveness, and redemption. Because sometimes, losing what you thought was everything is the beginning of finding yourself.  After ten years of deception, the truth finally sets the soul free. And as one chapter closes, a new beginning awaits—not with bitterness, but with strength, peace, and the courage to start again.  Walking away is not giving up. Sometimes, it is the first step toward redemption. 🕊️

00:00:01I'm sorry, Mrs. Smith, but your card has been declined.

00:00:03For Kane's minimally invasive appendectomy,

00:00:05there is still a $50 out-of-pocket copay after insurance.

00:00:08If the balance isn't settled, we cannot wheel him into the operating room.

00:00:11Clutching that flimsy piece of paper, my hands trembled uncontrollably.

00:00:15In a city as of selfie as New York,

00:00:17this pulply sum had become the noose tightening around my Step 10's life.

00:00:20I worked as a night shift cashier at a 24-hour convenience store on 7th Avenue,

00:00:24making a pitiful $15 an hour.

00:00:26To scrape together the sponsor fees for Kane's Ivy League prep school,

00:00:28my bank account balance hovered in the single digits year-round.

00:00:31With trembling fingers, I dialed my Hugginy in the ER.

00:00:33Henry, Kane's card is empty. We're short just $50.

00:00:35Did you sold that painting? Can you borrow...

00:00:37Are you out of your mind, Carrie? Art is noble?

00:00:39Do you think it's like selling expired hot dogs at your convenience store?

00:00:42I'm in Brooklyn looking for inspiration. Do not disturb me.

00:00:45Click. The call was ruthlessly my hands in utter despair.

00:00:47I tears mixing with the freezing Manhattan rain

00:00:48as they crashed onto the hospital's tiled floor.

00:00:51Just then, my mother, who was suffering from late-stage lung cancer,

00:00:54leaned on her cane and quietly slipped out of the hospital doors.

00:00:57Two hours later, the light above the operating room turned green.

00:00:59A nurse walked over to inform me that someone stuffed $50 in cash

00:01:03into the self-service kibosk, settling Kane's bill.

00:01:09Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, the phone in my pocket rang.

00:01:12It was the NYPD.

00:01:13With a deafening crash, my world collapsed.

00:01:16I ran like a madwoman to that filthy dark alley.

00:01:18My mother's cold body lay in the puddles of rain,

00:01:20her hand death-gritching a saved grandson with whom she shared no blood.

00:01:23For $50, my mother left her life behind in the terrenal reign of New York.

00:01:27It was two days later by the time I finished handling my mother's

00:01:29heartbreakingly neater funeral arrangements.

00:01:31Like a walking corpse, I returned to our decreped apartment in Queen

00:01:34to pack some clean clothes for Kane, who was about to be discharged.

00:01:37The house was a pig seat.

00:01:38I pushed open Kane's bedroom door, but accidentally stumbled against the room

00:01:41at the end of the hall that was kept locked year-round.

00:01:44Henry's private studio.

00:01:47Henry had laid down the law.

00:01:48That was his sacred sanctuary of art, and no one was allowed to set foot inside.

00:01:52But today, the door was left a-jung.

00:01:55I tumbled onto the hardwood floor of the studio,

00:01:57my elbow slamming heavily into the baseboard in the corner.

00:01:59With a soft click, a hidden wooden panel popped open.

00:02:01Inside the secret compartment, there were no precious paintings or pigments,

00:02:04but a dust-covered yet unniably luxury other handbag.

00:02:06I had zipper wasn't fully closed, and thick stacks of bills and receipts spilled out from inside.

00:02:10With trembling hands, I picked one up.

00:02:11Patek Philippe Geneva Custom Celestrical USD.

00:02:14Total amount 2-on-200-2-esh.

00:02:15And at the bottom of all these estromachical columns,

00:02:17the exact same name was clearly signed Lilia.

00:02:20The ex-wife who, ten years ago, Henry tearfully told me had died in Europe

00:02:23because they couldn't afford her leukemia treatments?

00:02:26Kane's biological mother?

00:02:28My mind instantly went blank,

00:02:30as if I had been plunged into the depths of a freezing sea.

00:02:33I frantically flipped through the dates on those bills.

00:02:36Over the past ten years, there were hundreds of thousands,

00:02:39sometimes millions, in transactions almost every single month.

00:02:43Even five years ago, the very year my $30,000 mysteriously vanished from my convenience store savings account,

00:02:49the bill shockingly revealed that Lilia had purchased a full set of ski gear in Switzerland,

00:02:54paid in full.

00:02:55Ten years of days and nights,

00:02:57I suffered through over 3,000 all-nighters with miters at the convenience store.

00:03:00Even when a gang robbed the store and to gun at my head, I didn't dare to quit.

00:03:03To save enough money to buy Kane a genuine pair of Nike sneakers,

00:03:06I ate soon-to-expire sandwiches for a month's love in luxury.

00:03:08I provided for this father and son for a decade.

00:03:10It was like a result.

00:03:11My husband sat on millions of dollars in wealth,

00:03:13flying a private jet to Europe to keep his first love in luxury.

00:03:15Meanwhile, my mother suffered a tragic death on the streets all for a mere $50.

00:03:19I kicked open the door of the General Wont at the Presbyterian Hospital,

00:03:22violently smashing that Hermes bag in a blizzard of russets right into Henry's face.

00:03:26Explain!

00:03:27My voice was like sandpaper, my eyes bloodshot with utter despair.

00:03:31Henry was sitting by the hospital bed, peeling an apple.

00:03:33Upon being struck by the bills, he didn't show a hint of panic.

00:03:35He unhurriedly set down the fruit knife, brushed the dust off his suit,

00:03:38and shot me a look of chilling, condescending superiority.

00:03:40Carrie, you're actually my private domain.

00:03:42For ten years, you've eaten my food, drank my water,

00:03:44and leached my blood to raise your long-dead ex-wife in Europe!

00:03:47Carrie, you actually searched my private domain without permission?

00:03:50How utterly vulgar.

00:03:52Henry, what do you take me for?

00:03:54A free blood bag?

00:03:56Before Henry could even speak, my stepson Kane suddenly roared from the hospital bed

00:04:00like a furious, ungrateful beast.

00:04:02Enough! Are you crazy?

00:04:04Lily is my biological mother. She never died.

00:04:06She's been in Europe treating her severe depression.

00:04:08What's wrong with Dad using his own money to take care of her?

00:04:10It's a gentleman's duty!

00:04:11I stood there as if struck by lightning, staring at Kane in absolute disbelief.

00:04:19You...

00:04:20You knew all along?

00:04:22The 18-year-old Kane, the boy who, at 10 years old, ran a high fever

00:04:25and whom I carried on my back through three kilometers of blizzard-swept New York streets

00:04:29to find it now looking at me as if I were absolute trash.

00:04:31Of course I know my real mom is in Europe.

00:04:33Only a bottom-fleeting convenience store klescher like you would make a fuss over a few bills.

00:04:37Don't think that just because you raised me for a few years, you get to yell at me?

00:04:40Look at your pathetic, impoverished self!

00:04:42Over a mere $50 cop-hang,

00:04:45you actually let Grandma run off to the black market to sell her meds

00:04:47and get herself killed and now you come to the hospital to throw a tantrum?

00:04:50Do you know my classmates are watching outside?

00:04:52Having a low-class auntie like you as a stepmother is a total humiliation.

00:04:56Looking at this well-dressed father and son before me,

00:04:58I suddenly felt that the past 10 years of my life had one massive joke.

00:05:01I gave everything I had, only to raise two noble vampires.

00:05:05Henry sighed, looking at me like I was an unreasonable Shrek.

00:05:07From the pocket of his high-end bespoke suit,

00:05:09he slodgily frished out a crumpled $10 bill and tossed it onto the floor,

00:05:13as if giving alms to a beggar.

00:05:15All right, Carrie.

00:05:16Your poverty limits your imagination. I don't blame you.

00:05:19Kane just finished surgery and needs nutrition.

00:05:21Take this $10, go to that discount supermarket on 8th Avenue

00:05:24and buy some ground beef to make him a stew.

00:05:26Don't bring your poor person-mania into the hospital anymore.

00:05:31I didn't move.

00:05:32I looked down at the crumpled $10 bill by my feet,

00:05:34then at the million-dollar seat scattered across the floor.

00:05:36And finally, my gaze land on the condescending faces of the father and son.

00:05:39There were no hysterical cries, no breakdown of tearing at my hair.

00:05:42When a person's heart dies completely, no longer feel pain.

00:05:44All that remains is extreme coldness and absolute clarity.

00:05:47All right.

00:05:48My tone was shockingly calm.

00:05:50I did not bend down to pick up that foul-smelling $10 bill.

00:05:53Henry, Kane, remember how high and mighty you look today?

00:05:58As for these past 10 years, I'll just consider it as having fed the dogs.

00:06:03I turned around, pushed open the door to the ward,

00:06:05and walked out without looking back,

00:06:07stepping into the black, all-tentruming, terrarial rain of New York.

00:06:10The November rain in New York was so cold it pierced the bones like eye saws.

00:06:13I wandered aimlessly through the streets of Manhattan,

00:06:15drenched to the bone like a wandering ghost that had just crawled out of a grave.

00:06:18The red and blue sirens of an ambulance dragged out twisted reflections across the waterlogged asphalt.

00:06:21Every beam of light seemed to mock the sheer stupidity of my past 10 years.

00:06:27Are you out of your mind?

00:06:28I stood there numbly, lacking even the strength to step aside.

00:06:30Do you have a death wish?

00:06:32Just then, the rear window of the mayboss slowly rolled down,

00:06:35revealing an exceptionally sharp, handsome face

00:06:37that looked as though it had been meticulously sculpted by God himself.

00:06:41Carrie?

00:06:42It took a massive effort for my sluggish brain

00:06:43to superimpose the imposing Wall Street tycoon before me,

00:06:46with the slum boy from my memory,

00:06:48the one who always used to trail behind me in a faded, washed-out white shirt.

00:06:51Are you... Kevin?

00:06:58What happened?

00:06:59How did you let yourself get like this?

00:07:02I gripped the laparoles of his expensive suit with a death grip,

00:07:05as if clutching the last lifeline in the world.

00:07:07The despair I had suppressed all night finally erupted into agonizing, heart-ranking sobs.

00:07:12My mom is dead!

00:07:14Kevin, I have nothing left!

00:07:17Half an hour later, I was taken to Kevin's penthouse duplex,

00:07:19perched high above the clouds in Tribica.

00:07:21A housekeeper drew a hot bath for me and changed me into soft cashmere lounge-a-wear.

00:07:24By the time I cupped both hands on a glass of McKellen on the rocks that Kevin handed me,

00:07:28the blood-stained $50 stuffed with astronomical bills hidden in the studio's secret compartment.

00:07:32Working night shifts at a convenience store?

00:07:34Playing free nanny to someone else's son for ten years?

00:07:39Carrie, you used to be so proud.

00:07:42How did you let a piece of trash like that deceive you to this extent?

00:07:46I was too stupid.

00:07:47I thought he was just poor.

00:07:50He's not poor.

00:07:52In New York, no one can hide a million-dollar cash flow under the nose of Wall Street.

00:07:55Give me his full name and the tail number of that private jet.

00:07:58Before dawn breaks, I will tear his background wide open.

00:08:00The brain thrust behind a top Wall Street investment banking too operates with an efficiency that rivals the FBI.

00:08:05A mere eight hours later, just as the top-secret hundred-page investigation report was placed squarely on the expensive

00:08:09marble dining table.

00:08:10Take a deep breath.

00:08:11Take care.

00:08:12What you're about to see might completely shatter your reality.

00:08:16I flipped open the first page.

00:08:17A familiar face met my eyes.

00:08:19It was my husband, Henry Smith.

00:08:20But right next to his name was a family crest powerful enough to make all of America tremble,

00:08:24alongside his true, concealed surname.

00:08:26Henry is no down-and-out artist.

00:08:28His full name is Henry Rockefeller.

00:08:29He is a hidden trust beneficiary of one of America's ultimate elite dynastic families, the Rockefellers.

00:08:34Boom.

00:08:35It felt as something had just detonated inside my brain.

00:08:37Rockefeller?

00:08:38The top-tier dynasty that controls the lifeblood of America whose wealth rivals entire nations?

00:08:41Ten years ago, the Rockefeller family arranged a marriage with a Texas energy trochonar.

00:08:46To escape that arranged marriage and to protect his ill-matched first love, Lillia,

00:08:50who had already given birth to his illitimate son, Cain,

00:08:53he orchestrated an elaborate disappearing act.

00:08:56He faked bankruptcy, ran away from home, brought his son along, and tricked you into marriage.

00:08:59Carrie, he merely used you as the perfect cover and a free nunky.

00:09:02You stood on your feet for over ten hours a day and at the convenience store to provide for them.

00:09:06He laundered the massive months from his family trust and wired them straight to Europe for Lillia to swander and

00:09:10enjoy.

00:09:11My hands trembled so violently I could barely hold the thin sheet of A4 paper.

00:09:16Absurd.

00:09:17It was utterly absurd.

00:09:19While I was haggling with grocery store clerks over discounted vegetables just to save a few pennies,

00:09:24my husband was wiring millions of dollars into another woman's account.

00:09:29And there's this.

00:09:34You absolutely need to see this.

00:09:36I looked down, and my pupils instantly contracted to PinsFix.

00:09:39It was a statement from five years ago for my $30,000 401k retirement account at the local community bank.

00:09:44That money had vanished overnight.

00:09:46Back then, Henry had held me and wept bitterly, claiming that his investments had been wiped out by the financial

00:09:50crisis and had taken my funds down with him.

00:09:52I believed him.

00:09:53To make ends meet, I even took on two extra part-time jobs.

00:09:56Yet, this document blatantly showed that Henry had forged my signature, fully cashed out that entire $30,000 and transferred

00:10:02it to a Swiss bank account.

00:10:03And on the attached purchase receipt, the ultimate destination of those funders was spelled out clear.

00:10:07Chanel Haute Couture ski gear, full set, delivered to Gostadsky Resort Switzerland, Lilla.

00:10:11I stared fastly at that line, a choked, gunnial wheeze escaping my throat like a wild beast on the verge

00:10:15of death.

00:10:16He took my life savings, money I had scroped together penny by penny behind a cash register, to buy snowboards

00:10:20for his first love.

00:10:21Ten years of my youth, and my mother's very life, in the eyes of these privileged elites, they were worth

00:10:26less than a damn ski-soat.

00:10:28Carrie, for ten years he bled you dry. Now it is our turn to make him pay his blood debt.

00:10:34I raised my head. My tears had completely dried up. All that remained was a sheer, venomous madness.

00:10:40A burning desire to drag them straight down to hell with me.

00:10:44Okay.

00:10:45Five days later, in that decrepit apartment in Queens, the home had already turned into a nauseating garbage dump.

00:10:50Take-out pizza boxes were stacked almost to the ceiling, empty beer bottles littered the floor, and the dirty bowls

00:10:55in the sink gave off a foul, sour stench.

00:10:57Without my care, this noble father and son lacked even the most basic ability to look after themselves.

00:11:02Henry sat on the sofa, tugging irritably at his tie.

00:11:05Faced with Kane's whine about not being able to find a pair of clean underwear, Henry let out a cold

00:11:10sneer, his tone utterly certain and arrogant.

00:11:15There's no need to panic, Kane. Where could your convenience store cash per stepmother possibly go?

00:11:20She doesn't even have enough money for one night at a cheap motel.

00:11:24Starve her for five days, and I guarantee she'll come crawling back tonight like a stray dog with its tail

00:11:30tucked between her legs.

00:11:33She'll drop to her knees and mop this place spotless.

00:11:37And then, naturally, she'll go make us dinner.

00:11:39The sound of the front door unlocking clicked through the apartment.

00:11:43See?

00:11:45What did I tell you?

00:11:47The stray dog knows its way home.

00:11:52The door was pushed, completely open.

00:11:54However, standing at the doorway was not the sorrowful, hampered wife in a cheap hoodie coming back to beg for

00:11:58mercy.

00:11:59I stepped in wearing Christian Lebrotin red-soled heels and a bestoke Max Marsa trench coat that Kevin had custom

00:12:04-ordered for me.

00:12:04Wearing the most exquisite and sharp makeup, I coldly surveyed this pig sit I had served in for ten years.

00:12:09And behind me, wearing a bespoke suit and looking like a dark emperor, was Kevin.

00:12:12Flanked by four hulking Blackwater bodyguardians who completely blocked off the narrow hallway, the smugness on Henry's face instantly frozen.

00:12:18He stood up abruptly, staring fixically at the man behind me.

00:12:20Carrie?

00:12:21You...

00:12:22Who is this man?

00:12:23I didn't waste a single word.

00:12:25I directly took that hundred-plus page top-secret dossier, stuffed with iron-clayed evidence of his asset transfers, forged

00:12:32signatures, and big mummy, and smashed it onto his hypocritical face with resounding force.

00:12:36The sharp edge of the binder cut his cheekbone, drawing a line of blood.

00:12:40The mountain of incriminating evidence fluttered down, scattering all over the silsty apartment floor.

00:12:45Take a look, young master Henry Rockefeller.

00:12:46Is this evidence enough to send you and that dead person skiing in Europe straight to federal prison together?

00:12:50Clutching his face, Henry saw the scattered raucous actor family trust bank statements in Lilia's consumption records in France.

00:12:55His face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of paper.

00:12:58But a mere few seconds later, the deep-seated arrogance of an old-money capitalist overcame his panic.

00:13:04Carrie, you actually found out.

00:13:05Henry casually kicked aside the documents on the floor, staring contemptuously at Kevin and me with a look meant for

00:13:10ants.

00:13:10So what? Since you know everything, I won't pretend anymore.

00:13:14That's right, I am an heir to the Rockefeller family.

00:13:18Do you really think you can turn the tables with just a few pieces of paper?

00:13:22Wake up, Carrie!

00:13:23You are just a bottom-leal convenience store auntie making fifteen bucks an hour.

00:13:28Even if you hooked up with this seemingly wealthy Wall Street nouveau riche,

00:13:31do you think you can sue and beat the Rockefeller family's legal team, which can buy out the entirety of

00:13:36New York?

00:13:36He grew more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see the image of me kneeling and begging

00:13:40for mercy.

00:13:41With just one phone call, I can make it so you won't even have the right to beg on the

00:13:44streets of New York.

00:13:45Look, I'll have the best lawyers classify this as your extortion and send you to prison to keep your dead,

00:13:49dirt, poor mother company.

00:13:51The air in the room turned dead silent from his clamoring.

00:13:53The bodyguards behind Kevin abruptly moved to step forward, but Kevin slightly raised his hand to stop them.

00:13:59Simply looking at Henry with the gaze won reserves for a dead man, I did not break down, nor did

00:14:04I back away as I had over the past ten years.

00:14:06In my ten-centimeter heels, I stepped over the bills that had trapped me for half my life one step

00:14:10at a time, until I reached him.

00:14:12Looking at his arrogant face, I suddenly pulled a highly eerie smile.

00:14:15I leaned in slightly, close to his ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of us could hear.

00:14:19You're right, young master at Henry. A cashier like me indeed cannot defeat your invincible legal team.

00:14:23Henry was just about to sneer when my next sentence pierced his eardrums like an eye saw soaked in poison.

00:14:28However, old-money families like yours, who care only about your century-old reputation, fear scandals the most, don't you?

00:14:34So ten minutes ago, Kevin helped me mass mail all this evidence of transitional bigamy, money laundering, and fraud,

00:14:39enough to completely ruin the Rockefeller family's reputation to the current Rockefeller patriarch and every elder on the family board.

00:14:45I took a half-step back, admiring his body as it began to tremble violently, and delivered the final blow.

00:14:52Oh, right.

00:14:53We also cc'd a copy to the front-page editor-in-chief of the New York Times.

00:14:58As soon as the words fell, the exclusive, encrypted phone hidden in the inner pocket of Henry's suit,

00:15:02the one he thought I never knew about, used only to contact his family, suddenly began to vibrate urgently.

00:15:07The unbearably arrogant smile on Henry's face froze instantly.

00:15:10He was like an actor eloquently declaiming on stage, only for the spotlight to suddenly reveal the holes in his

00:15:16underwear.

00:15:17That the fingers pulling out the phone trembled violently and uncontrollably,

00:15:22slipping multiple times as he tried to press the answer button.

00:15:25Flashing on the screen was a virtual number with no saved contact name,

00:15:29but Henry's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpricks.

00:15:33It was the private line of the current Rockefeller patriarch.

00:15:39The iron fist tyrant, whose mere cough on Wall Street could send shockwaves through the U.S. stock market,

00:15:45his biological grandfather, old Arthur Rockefeller.

00:15:49Hello, grandfather.

00:15:51The moment the call connected, Henry's voice completely changed pitch.

00:15:56The aristocratic accent he deliberately maintained was now entirely shattered,

00:16:00his throat as sounding as if it had been stuffed with rough sand.

00:16:04There was not a shred of pleasantries from the other end of the line,

00:16:07only a freezing, grim reaper-like low pressure,

00:16:10followed by the crisp, heavy smack of a thick stack of documents being slammed onto a mahogany desk.

00:16:15Henry, you have truly brought our entire Rockefeller family an unprecedented humiliation

00:16:22we have not seen in a century!

00:16:25Old Arthur's horse, majestic voice pierced through the airwaves,

00:16:30in extreme disgust and fury, slamming into the top of Henry's skull like a sledgehammer.

00:16:36Years ago, to escape the arranged marriage with the Texas Energy Plotates,

00:16:40you faked bankruptcy and played house in the slums of New York for ten years.

00:16:44The family's higher-ups, considering our bloodline,

00:16:47turned a blind-eyed and allowed you to use the hidden trust.

00:16:50But that does not mean you can treat this family like fools!

00:16:54Grandfather, listen to my explanation!

00:16:56The evidence, the media, and the board Mord received is forged!

00:17:04It's that lowly convenience store care conspiring with an outsider to frame me!

00:17:08Henry fell to his knees with a thud onto the glue-stained floor,

00:17:11cold sweat instantly soaking the back of his shirt.

00:17:13Shut up!

00:17:15Do you think the IRS and our political enemies in Congress are blind?

00:17:18You actually dared to commit bigamy in France using a forged identity?

00:17:22And you blatantly embezzled offshore funds from the family trust to launder money

00:17:26and buy a villa for that European woman?

00:17:29Right now, the director's Wall Street's top five investment banks

00:17:32and the editor-chief of Meritwa's three major TV vandals

00:17:35teaching finally this kit-class evidence on my desk!

00:17:38Grandpa, I beg you, give me just one more day!

00:17:41I will take care of that woman!

00:17:42I will seal her mouth!

00:17:44Henry groveled on the floor, howling without a shred of dignity.

00:17:46That won't be necessary.

00:17:48The decency of the Rockefeller family will absolutely not be ruined

00:17:51by a fool like you who can't keep it in his pants.

00:17:55Old Arthur's voice held zero warm as if pronouncing the scrapping of a defective item.

00:17:58The family's highest-level crisis PR protocol has been initiated.

00:18:02To completely strep ties with this scandal, within ten minutes,

00:18:05the Family Trust Committee will unbladderly cut off all funding chains under your name.

00:18:09All derailed estate, vehicles, and art watchers will be forcibly seized by the family to assess the debts.

00:18:15No, Grandpa! You can't do this to me! I have Rockefeller blood!

00:18:19From this second off, the Rockefeller family has no such person.

00:18:22You are on your own.

00:18:24The buzzy tone of the ruthlessly disconnected call became the final resting moak of Henry's ten-year pipe dream.

00:18:30Like a dead dog with its spine ripped out, he slumped weakly into the reeking pile of garbage.

00:18:34A few seconds later, sheer terror made him violently spring up.

00:18:39His eyes bloodshot, he rushed toward the door like a madman.

00:18:43No! I have to go back to my Upper East Side apartment!

00:18:46There are still several of my passports in the safe!

00:18:49And tens of thousands of dollars in cash!

00:18:51I need to buy a ticket to Paris to find Lillia!

00:18:54Watching his wretched fleeing back, running so frantically he lost a shoe.

00:18:57I stood my ground, my lips curving into a cold smirk.

00:19:00Standing beside me, Kevin didn't even bat an eyeball.

00:19:02He simply watched this homeless dog bolt into the rainy night as if observing a low-budget comedy.

00:19:06Go on, Henry.

00:19:07Go and see with your own eyes how the capital you are so proud of will ruthlessly devour a parasite

00:19:11like you.

00:19:12An hour and a half later, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan,

00:19:15in an ultra-exclusive luxury flat just off Fifth Avenue overlooking the entirety of Central Park.

00:19:20This is a secret palace Henry had acquired for himself in New York, completely hidden from Nige.

00:19:25Normally, he would drink tens of thousands of dollars bottles of Roman A. Conti here,

00:19:29sleep on a fully handcrafted horsehair mattress,

00:19:31and after a shower, change back into a tottered flannel shirt to return to Queens,

00:19:36playing the role of the down-and-out artist who wouldn't bow for five peaks of rice.

00:19:40Because the money in his card wasn't even enough to hail an Uber,

00:19:42Henry had braved the terrestrial rain traveling by foot and ferrifading on the subway,

00:19:46sprinting over a dozen kilometers just to get here.

00:19:48When he dashed out of his private elevator, panting heavily and completely drouched,

00:19:51the sight before him made him feel as though he had plunged into a chasm of ice.

00:19:55The apartment's heavy, blast-proof mahongany doors were wide open.

00:19:59Eight expressionless, suit-clothed family security personnel in black

00:20:03were methodically packing away his famous paintings,

00:20:06antiques, and limited-edition bespoke suits one by one.

00:20:09The keys to his most prized possession of Porsche 911 were just being dropped into a clear,

00:20:14sealed evidence bag by the captain of the security detail.

00:20:17What are you doing? Put that down!

00:20:22That is my private property! Get the hell out!

00:20:27Henry lunged forward, his eyes practically splitting at the sheens,

00:20:31desperately trying to snatch the authentic Picasso painting off the wall

00:20:34that he had just won at auction for $2 million.

00:20:36With a backhand move, the security captain executed an extremely professional grappling technique,

00:20:42flipping the once high and mighty young master straight to the floor,

00:20:45his knee pinned ruthlessly against Henry's back.

00:20:47Looking down at him from above, the captain pulled out a freezing order

00:20:50stamped with the highest seal of the Rockefeller family

00:20:52and slapped it coldly against Henry's face.

00:20:54Apologies, Mr. Henry, but this is no longer your private domain.

00:20:57The Patriarch has ordered that all assets under your name purchased with family trust funds

00:21:01are to be confiscated effective immediately,

00:21:03to compensate for the public relations damages you have caused.

00:21:06I am your master! How dare you watchdogs treat me like this!

00:21:09Henry struggled madly, but his body, hollowed out by years of debalgenies,

00:21:13was absolutely no match for a specially trained bodyguard.

00:21:16The captain waved a hand.

00:21:17Let him go.

00:21:18Henry scrambled and crawled toward the bedroom,

00:21:21only to find that the wall-mounted safe had been forced open and was completely empty.

00:21:26His passports, cash, and the Swiss bank cashier's checks he had hidden away,

00:21:30everything was gone.

00:21:32My money! My passports!

00:21:35Henry slumped to the floor in despair.

00:21:36With trembling hands, he pulled out his final trump card from his pocket,

00:21:39the Amex Centurion black card, a symbol of absolute wealth and status.

00:21:42He opened the Delta Airlines app on his phone,

00:21:44trying to book the earliest first-class ticket to Paris.

00:21:47His finger pressed the payment button.

00:21:50Beep.

00:21:50Sorry. Your credit card has been forcibly frozen by the issuing bank.

00:21:55Refusing to accept reality, he tried another card.

00:21:59A Chase Bank credit card with an unlimited limit.

00:22:06Your account has been frozen pending an investigation into suspected money laundering.

00:22:10Please contact your issuing bank.

00:22:11One card, two cards, three cards.

00:22:14A full seven top-tier credit cards had all turned into useless pieces of plastic.

00:22:19He frantically dialed the numbers of his fair-weather friends and Wall Street executives

00:22:23who usually orbited around him, trying to borrow even just a thousand dollars.

00:22:28However, upon hearing his voice, those people either hung up immediately or ruthlessly mocked him.

00:22:34Henry, is your brain fried?

00:22:36The notice of old Arthie disowning you has gone viral throughout the entire upper-class circle.

00:22:40You are nothing but an infectious piece of dog shit right now.

00:22:43Don't ever call again.

00:22:44There was no money left.

00:22:46Not a single cent.

00:22:47He in less than two hours.

00:22:49This billionaire who used to boss me around and viciously insulted my mother's life

00:22:52with a crumpled ten dollars bill couldn't even afford an economy-class ticket to Europe anymore.

00:22:56The security captain grabbed Henry by the collar like a little chick,

00:22:59dragged him all the way to the elevator, and tossed him inside like a piece of garbage.

00:23:03Mr. Henry, do not show your face on Fifth Avenue again.

00:23:06This is no longer a place for a bottom-feeding paunter like you.

00:23:12The elevator doors closed mercilessly.

00:23:14At the exact same moment Henry was being swept out the door,

00:23:17inside a luxurious fraternity mansion at Columbia University,

00:23:2118-year-old Kane was holding an expensive glass of Dom Perri and champagne,

00:23:24sitting on an imported Italian leather sofa,

00:23:26surrounded by a group of Ivy League rich kids like stars circling the moon.

00:23:29He was wearing an incredibly flashy, latest edition Gucci hoodie.

00:23:35Although there were band-aids on his facial wounds,

00:23:38they couldn't hide his arrogant, gloating swagger.

00:23:41Kane, I heard your father is finally ending his little hermit game of experiencing commoner life.

00:23:48A wealthy second-generation heir, whose family ran a hotel chain, leaned in to ask ingratiatingly.

00:23:54Kane crossed his legs triumphantly, took a sip of champagne, and declared loudly with a face full of dissent.

00:23:59Of course!

00:24:00I'm about to return to the Rockefeller family estate and inherit a multi-billion dollar fortune.

00:24:05You guys have no idea.

00:24:07These past ten years have driven me crazy.

00:24:09See, that bottom-feeder stepmother of mine who works night shifts at a convenience store is an absolute psycho,

00:24:15constantly reeking of cheap laundry turgent.

00:24:18A few days ago, over a measly $50 ERE,

00:24:22she actually threw a massive tantrum in the hospital

00:24:24and even let my deadbeat grandma go sell her meds to scrape the money together.

00:24:30I am so sick of the inferior genes of these lower-class people.

00:24:37Once I return to high society, I will definitely...

00:24:40The incredibly heavy, carved wooden doors of the Fernity Lounge were suddenly kicked open violently from the outside.

00:24:47The heavy bass music in the room squeaked to a halt.

00:24:53The Dean of Admissions of Columbia University strode in, his face livid,

00:24:57accompanied by two top-clear lawyers wearing Rockefeller family crest pins on their chests

00:25:01and four campus security guards.

00:25:03The noisy lounge fell into instant dead silence.

00:25:05All the wealthy ears felt a suffocating sense of impression.

00:25:08Kane paused for a moment before standing up,

00:25:11his face lifting in an arrogant expression.

00:25:14Dean?

00:25:16What brings you here?

00:25:17Are we here to discuss my donation of a laboratory to the school next semester?

00:25:21Mr. Kane, on behalf of the Rockefeller Family Foundation, I am formally notifying you.

00:25:26Ten minutes ago, the family permanently revoked all financial sponsors to your father, Henry, and his direct relatives.

00:25:31The smile on Kane's face frozen instantly.

00:25:33What?

00:25:33And the champagne glass in his hand shattered onto the carpet with a sharp crash.

00:25:36The Dean pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

00:25:39His usual fanging, bowing, and scraping attitude toward Kane was completely gone,

00:25:43leaving only the fury of a snob who realized he had been dude.

00:25:46Kane!

00:25:47Columbia University just received notice from Chase Bank that your 85,000,000 tuition check

00:25:53for this semester has been officially bounced.

00:25:56Your tuition account is now in a drevis!

00:26:01Kane shrieked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

00:26:03That's impossible!

00:26:04Absolutely impossible!

00:26:05My dad is the heir to the Rockefeller family.

00:26:07Check your facts!

00:26:08How could I possibly not be able to pay my tuition?

00:26:09He was.

00:26:10But now he is nothing but a criminal who has been utterly swept out the door by his family

00:26:14for transnational bigamy and money laundering.

00:26:16The lawyer mercilessly shredded his final illusions.

00:26:21From this moment on, you have absolutely zero ties to the Rockefeller family.

00:26:27The Dean waved his hand in disgust.

00:26:29Columbia University will absolutely not harbor a student who hasn't paid his tuition and is

00:26:34embrailed in a major social scandal.

00:26:36Security!

00:26:36Escort him back to his dorm immediately to pack his personal belongings.

00:26:40He has half an hour to get the hell off this campus.

00:26:42No!

00:26:43You can't kick me out!

00:26:44I am an aristocrat!

00:26:46I am a young master of the Rockefellers!

00:26:48Kane screamed frantically, trying to grab onto the classmates he usually called brothers.

00:26:53But in that instant, the true nature of humanity was laid bare.

00:26:57Those same rich kids who had just been flattering him now backed away as if avoiding the plague,

00:27:01their eyes filled with blatant mockery and disfain.

00:27:04Turns out he's just an abandoned fraud.

00:27:06Why was he still pretending to be some old money young master?

00:27:09Hurry up and scram!

00:27:10Don't dirty our frat house carpets!

00:27:11What bad luck!

00:27:12The security guards didn't spare his dignity in the slightest.

00:27:15Grabbing him by the arms on either side,

00:27:17they forcibly dragged Kane out of the luxurious lounge like a dead dog,

00:27:21tossing him all the way out into the rain.

00:27:23His clothes and a few pairs of limited-edition sneakers were half-fazerly stuffed into a worn-out canvas bag

00:27:29by the guards

00:27:30and thrown directly into a puddle outside the campus gates.

00:27:34New York's torrential November rain beat down mercilessly upon the 18-year-old boy.

00:27:38Shivering violently from the cold,

00:27:41Kane dragged his mud-soaked canvas bag and ran crying to Henry's secret apartment on the Upper East Side.

00:27:47He had assumed his father would be there to back him up.

00:27:49However, when he arrived at the base of the apartment building,

00:27:51he found the main doors tightly shut,

00:27:53and the security wouldn't even let him step within half of the lobby.

00:27:55And there, on the side of the building, next to a row of stinking green dumpsters,

00:27:58he saw a man, similarly soaked to the bone,

00:28:00hair matted, trying to scrounge through cardboard boxes for shelter from the rain,

00:28:03just like a homeless bagger.

00:28:04It was Henry, who had just been thrown out.

00:28:07Father and son stared blankly at each other across the dumpsters in the freezing, stormy night.

00:28:12Kane dropped the canvas bag and broke down crying,

00:28:15rushing over to grip Henry's sleeve tightly.

00:28:18My tuition got cut off!

00:28:20Columbia University expelled me!

00:28:22My credit cards are all declined!

00:28:24Where do we go now?

00:28:25I haven't even eaten yet!

00:28:26Listening to his son's wailing, Henry raised his head blankly,

00:28:29looking at the dazzling, luxurious neon lights of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue not far away.

00:28:33Once upon a time, all that radiance had belonged to him.

00:28:37But now, that blinding light felt like poisoned needles,

00:28:41stabbing his eyes blind.

00:28:43But this,

00:28:44was merely the beginning.

00:28:46This billionaire,

00:28:47who just an hour ago had laughed at me for being a low-class, impoverished auntie,

00:28:53finally had suffocating terror crawling into the depths of his eyes.

00:28:58Seeing his father remain silent,

00:29:00Kane's hypothetical pampered nature instantly morphed into resentment.

00:29:03He gave Henry a hard shove.

00:29:05Say something!

00:29:06Aren't you a Rockefeller?

00:29:07Hurry up and call Grandpa!

00:29:09I don't want to sleep on the streets!

00:29:11I don't want to live the life of poor people!

00:29:13Get lost!

00:29:14Pushed into a puddle,

00:29:15Henry backhanded Kane with a vicious slap.

00:29:18This was the so-called,

00:29:19noble father-son bond they had built over ten years.

00:29:22The moment it lost the nourishment of money,

00:29:24it instantly rotted away,

00:29:25reducing them to rats biting at each other in a soup.

00:29:28Have you tasted the despair of the true bottom tier yet?

00:29:31But this was merely the beginning.

00:29:36Two consecutive days of sleeping on the streets drove Henry,

00:29:39who was accustomed to a life of luxury,

00:29:41into absolute madness.

00:29:42Like a rabid dog backed into a corner,

00:29:45he used the last few hundred dollars obtained from pawning a tie clip

00:29:48to slink into an incredibly karyotic gang-run neighborhood in Queens.

00:29:51He found a few burly, heavily tattooed Lone Shark thugs

00:29:54and slammed a photo of me onto their broken wooden table.

00:29:58This is the woman!

00:30:00Her name is Carrie!

00:30:02She works at the convenience store just down the street!

00:30:06His face twisted like a demon's.

00:30:09Go find this bitch!

00:30:10Break her legs!

00:30:12Slash her face!

00:30:13Force her to go to the police station

00:30:16and retract the money laundering exposures!

00:30:19I want her to wish she were dead!

00:30:21Just as those thugs,

00:30:23armed with baseball bots,

00:30:24crept into the dark alley near the convenience store,

00:30:28engines let out a beast-like low gruel.

00:30:30Four pure black, bulletproof Range Rover SUVs

00:30:33shot out from both ends of the street simultaneously like ghosts.

00:30:37With a piercing screech of brakes,

00:30:40they blocked the thugs into the dead end

00:30:42with absolute precision and brutality.

00:30:46Blinding headlights flipped ice flipped on instantly,

00:30:49illuminating the alley as bright as day.

00:30:52The car doors pushed open simultaneously.

00:30:54Over a dozen former Navy SEAL bodyguards

00:30:55wearing black tactical vests and Glock pistols

00:30:57fostered at their waists filed out.

00:30:59In a flash, they drew their weapons,

00:31:00the dark muzzles aimed straight at the thugs' heads.

00:31:03The gang members,

00:31:03who had been so arrogant just moments before,

00:31:05were so terrified they dropped their barts

00:31:07and fell to their knees in the puddles on the spot.

00:31:09A man in a black suit stepped out,

00:31:11his eyes as sharp as ice,

00:31:13looking down at the scum below.

00:31:14With one hand in his pocket,

00:31:16his gaze was so cold it held not a trace of human warmth.

00:31:20He looked down upon these drags of society,

00:31:22as if he were staring at a pile of worthless minced meat.

00:31:27Which hand took Henry's money?

00:31:29Kevin's voice wasn't loud.

00:31:31It could even be described as soft.

00:31:32But that blood-sloped aura of absolute at the top

00:31:35and making ruthless decisions

00:31:36made everyone present feel their scalps go numb.

00:31:39B-

00:31:39Boss, we didn't know that woman was under your protection.

00:31:42The money is right here.

00:31:43We haven't touched it.

00:31:44Kevin didn't even look at the stack of cash.

00:31:47He simply tilted his head slightly

00:31:49and spit out a single word

00:31:51to the security captain behind him.

00:31:58Cripple them.

00:31:59A few seconds later,

00:32:01the bone-chilling sounds of shattering bones

00:32:03and agonizing screams echoed from the dark alley.

00:32:06After dealing with that trash,

00:32:07Kevin got back into the car.

00:32:09Leaning against the leather seat,

00:32:10his slender fingers gently loosened his tie

00:32:12as he picked up the built-in satellite phone.

00:32:15At this moment,

00:32:15the Wall Street titan fully bared his most ruthless fangs.

00:32:19Notify all the galleries

00:32:20and underground art trading networks in New York.

00:32:22From today on,

00:32:23whoever did buy a single painting from Henry

00:32:25or dares to lend him a single dollar

00:32:28makes an enemy of my consortium.

00:32:30Use our clearance on Wall Street

00:32:31to completely seal off his credit rating

00:32:32across the entire U.S. banking system.

00:32:34Notify the HR databases

00:32:35of all major corporations

00:32:37to put him on a permanent blacklist.

00:32:40I want it so that he can't even find

00:32:42a dishwashing job

00:32:42at a Chinatown restaurant in New York.

00:32:45I want him to watch himself

00:32:47rot away on the streets,

00:32:49bit by bit.

00:32:50This was Kevin's absolute unapologetic bias.

00:32:54Listening to no reason,

00:32:55possessing zero bottom lines.

00:32:57As long as anyone dared to subject Harry

00:33:00to even the slightest grievance or threat,

00:33:02he would mobilize the most massive

00:33:04and ruthless power of capital

00:33:06to uproot them

00:33:07and crush them to pulp.

00:33:098 p.m.,

00:33:10the penthouse duplex high above the clouds

00:33:11in Trebacca, Manhattan.

00:33:13Outside the window

00:33:13were the howling autumn winds of New York

00:33:15and the blurred,

00:33:16flaring city neon lights

00:33:17washed by the rain.

00:33:17Yet inside this massive

00:33:18500-square-meter open-concepts mansion,

00:33:21the air was filled with an ultimate sense of security

00:33:23that made one want to weep.

00:33:24The central A.C. blew a constant stream of warm air.

00:33:27Wearing soft, expensive cashmere loungewear

00:33:29and standing barefoot on the thick carpet,

00:33:31I leaned against the island of the open kitchen,

00:33:33somewhat dazed.

00:33:34I could hardly believe the scene before my eyes.

00:33:36The very same man who just hours ago

00:33:39was turning the tides on Wall Street,

00:33:41whose single word could determine life or death,

00:33:44had actually taken off

00:33:45that highly oppressive suit jacket

00:33:46and was wearing only a sharply tailored white shirt.

00:33:49A gray linen apron was tied around

00:33:50his tall, imposing frame.

00:33:52His sleeves were rolled up slightly,

00:33:54revealed strong, muscular forearms

00:33:55with faintly bulging vines.

00:33:57He was standing in front of a top

00:33:58of an Hein imported stove,

00:33:59holding a long silver spoon,

00:34:00cooking a black truffle and mushroom risotto

00:34:02in an enal pot with the utmost patience.

00:34:04Beside it,

00:34:05two cuts of top-grade A5 Wagyu beef

00:34:06flown in from Japan

00:34:07were searing in a pan.

00:34:09The aroma of butter

00:34:10mixed with the distinct fragrance of truffles

00:34:12drifted through this $50 million mansion.

00:34:14Kevin,

00:34:15you really don't have to do this yourself.

00:34:16I can do it.

00:34:17I cook very fast.

00:34:18Back in that house...

00:34:20Don't mention the past.

00:34:23He was so tall

00:34:24that his upright figure

00:34:25completely enveloped me in his shadow.

00:34:27Yet I didn't feel

00:34:28the slightest bit of fear.

00:34:30Instead,

00:34:31Ailt is comforting

00:34:32as having my heart

00:34:33soaked in warm water.

00:34:34Carrie,

00:34:35for the past ten years

00:34:36you struggled

00:34:37in the deepest muck

00:34:37of this city

00:34:38for that pair of vampire

00:34:39father and son.

00:34:40You cooked countless meals,

00:34:42calculating every day

00:34:43which discounted meat

00:34:44at the supermarket

00:34:45was the cheapest.

00:34:46You stood at the convenience store

00:34:47until you got a Henrietta disc,

00:34:48only to come home

00:34:49to serve them,

00:34:50listening to them

00:34:51mock the smell

00:34:52of cooking Gleese on you.

00:34:53You took care of everyone,

00:34:55but you were the only one

00:34:56no one ever took care of.

00:34:57My breath caught sharply

00:34:58in my throat.

00:34:59It felt as if my heart

00:35:00had been fiercely squeezed

00:35:01by an invisible hand.

00:35:03A wave of bitter sorrow,

00:35:04the sorrow from broken string,

00:35:05fell uncontrollably,

00:35:07streaming down my face.

00:35:08For ten years,

00:35:09Henry only ever complained

00:35:10that the steak I pan-fried

00:35:12wasn't tender enough.

00:35:14Complained that I hindered

00:35:16his pursuit of art.

00:35:17Kane only ever despised me

00:35:19for not being able

00:35:21to afford the latest iPhone,

00:35:23despised the clothes I wore

00:35:25to his parent-teacher conferences

00:35:26for embarrassing him.

00:35:28Never once did anyone

00:35:30in this freezing cold world

00:35:32stop in their tracks

00:35:34to ask me,

00:35:36Carrie, are you tired?

00:35:40Never once was anyone

00:35:42willing to strip off

00:35:43their high and mighty facade

00:35:45to willingly wash their hands

00:35:47and cook a hot meal for me.

00:35:52Silly girl,

00:35:53what are you crying for?

00:35:58The warm pads of his fingers

00:36:00carefully wiped the tears

00:36:01from the corners of my eyes.

00:36:02His movements so gentle,

00:36:05it was as if he were handling

00:36:07a priceless,

00:36:08long-lost treasure

00:36:09finally found.

00:36:10Here with me,

00:36:12you no longer need

00:36:13to pretend to be strong.

00:36:14You no longer need

00:36:15to penny pinch

00:36:15over a dollar or two

00:36:17in price differences.

00:36:20Nor do you need

00:36:20to please anyone

00:36:21who isn't worth it.

00:36:24Carrie, listen to me.

00:36:28You deserve to be treated

00:36:31with the absolute best

00:36:33this world has to offer.

00:36:36What others didn't give you,

00:36:38I will.

00:36:40What others owe you,

00:36:42I will extract for you

00:36:43tenfold,

00:36:45a hundredfold.

00:36:48I lifted my tear-blended eyes

00:36:50and looked at this man

00:36:51who had descended

00:36:52like a deity

00:36:53in my most desperate hour.

00:36:56That heart of mine,

00:36:57frozen solid by bills

00:36:59and the betrayal

00:37:00of my closest family

00:37:01for ten years,

00:37:02was melting beyond cure,

00:37:04beating violently.

00:37:06I knew that the suffering

00:37:08belonging to Carrie,

00:37:09the bottom-level female laborist,

00:37:11had definitively ended

00:37:12on that pouring,

00:37:13rainy night.

00:37:14And what awaited me

00:37:16was a path

00:37:17of stunning counter-attack,

00:37:19paved personally

00:37:20by Kevin

00:37:21as brilliantly dazzling

00:37:23as the Milky Way.

00:37:31It's okay.

00:37:34It's gonna be okay.

00:37:36I still have Lilia.

00:37:38Right, I still have

00:37:39my true love.

00:37:40Over the past ten years,

00:37:41I've acquired over

00:37:42twenty million dollars

00:37:43in real estate

00:37:43and trusts in her name

00:37:44in Paris,

00:37:45Switzerland, and Monaco.

00:37:46As long as I reunite with her,

00:37:48I'll still be a multi-millionaire!

00:37:56Hello?

00:37:57Who is it?

00:37:59Lilia!

00:38:00It's me!

00:38:02Henry!

00:38:03Lilia, listen to me.

00:38:05There's been

00:38:05a little accident

00:38:06with the family.

00:38:09That bottom-fleeting cashier

00:38:11went crazy

00:38:12and exposed us.

00:38:13That old bastard Arthur

00:38:14has temporarily

00:38:15frozen my account.

00:38:16Oh, Henry.

00:38:19I wondered who it was,

00:38:21calling from such a shabby number.

00:38:23I thought it was

00:38:24a telemarketer.

00:38:25I am completely penniless

00:38:27in New York right now.

00:38:29I don't even have money

00:38:30for food.

00:38:31Quickly use that UBS account

00:38:33I set up in your name

00:38:34last year

00:38:34and buy me

00:38:35the earliest

00:38:36first-class ticket

00:38:37to Paris.

00:38:37No!

00:38:38Charter!

00:38:38A private jet!

00:38:39I can't stand

00:38:40another second

00:38:40in this bedbug-infested slum!

00:38:49Henry,

00:38:50did staying in the slums

00:38:52for ten years

00:38:53really rot your brain?

00:38:54You've been

00:38:55completely disowned

00:38:56by the Rockefeller family.

00:38:58Even the Wall Street papers

00:38:59published photos

00:39:00of you getting kicked

00:39:01out of Fifth Avenue

00:39:02like a stray dog.

00:39:04You are now

00:39:05nothing but

00:39:05a penniless fugitative

00:39:07carrying a bigamy charge.

00:39:09What on earth

00:39:10makes you think

00:39:11I would send

00:39:11a private jet

00:39:12to pick up

00:39:13a piece of trash?

00:39:15Lilia,

00:39:16what are you saying?

00:39:17I fell to this state

00:39:19because of you.

00:39:20For the past ten years

00:39:21I conned that woman's money.

00:39:22I endured the stench

00:39:23of her poverty

00:39:24all to launder

00:39:24the family's money out

00:39:25to treat your illness

00:39:26and fund your luxuries.

00:39:29You said I was

00:39:30the only true love

00:39:31of your life.

00:39:31Don't be ridiculous, Henry.

00:39:33Who would love

00:39:33a useless piece of trash

00:39:34who even schemes

00:39:35against his own wife?

00:39:36If it weren't for the fact

00:39:37that you were a Rockefeller

00:39:38do you think I would have

00:39:38tolerated your boring art

00:39:40and your ego?

00:39:40For these past ten years

00:39:41I merely treated you

00:39:42as a convenient ATM.

00:39:43You, you liar!

00:39:44That money is mine!

00:39:45Give me my money back!

00:39:46Money?

00:39:47No, legally

00:39:48all of that

00:39:49is my lawful private property

00:39:50as a single woman.

00:39:52Thanks to your exquisite

00:39:53money laundering methods

00:39:54the Rockefeller family

00:39:56can't trace

00:39:56a single dime

00:39:57back to me.

00:39:58By the way

00:39:59I've already liquidated

00:40:00all the estates

00:40:00and yachts

00:40:01under my name

00:40:01in Europe

00:40:02and right now

00:40:02I'm heading to South America

00:40:03for a vacation

00:40:04with my new boyfriend.

00:40:05Henry,

00:40:06seeing as you provide

00:40:07for me for ten years

00:40:08I'll give you a piece

00:40:09of advice.

00:40:10Go back to your basement

00:40:11and learn well

00:40:11how to be a poor man.

00:40:14The most profound

00:40:15devotion of his life

00:40:16is recalling

00:40:16the unhesitating betrayal

00:40:17from his first love.

00:40:19Meanwhile

00:40:19the original wife

00:40:20who had once been blind

00:40:21enough to willingly

00:40:22pour out her heart

00:40:22and soul for him

00:40:23for ten years

00:40:24had been forced

00:40:25by his own hands

00:40:25into a life-cleaning

00:40:26dream river.

00:40:27By evening

00:40:28New York's sleep

00:40:29began to fall even harder.

00:40:30The battered wooden door

00:40:31of the basement

00:40:32was kicked open

00:40:33and a violent gust

00:40:34of freezing wind

00:40:34mixed with the smell

00:40:35of cheap cooking grease

00:40:36poured inside.

00:40:38You damn fool!

00:40:39How can you mess up

00:40:40something this easy?

00:40:45Dad

00:40:46I'm so cold

00:40:47I'm starving to death.

00:40:49I brought some food back.

00:40:50Could you heat it up

00:40:51in the microwave?

00:40:57What are you doing?

00:40:59That's mine!

00:41:07Get lost!

00:41:08Give it to me!

00:41:12You hit me?

00:41:13You're a piece of trash

00:41:15who can't even manage

00:41:16his own woman.

00:41:17Aren't you a billionaire?

00:41:19Aren't you a Rockefeller?

00:41:21Why do I have to

00:41:21wash dishes

00:41:22and get cursed at

00:41:23in a place

00:41:24for lower class people?

00:41:25Take out the money!

00:41:49Mom!

00:41:51I was wrong!

00:41:52I was really wrong!

00:41:55However, a belated awakening

00:41:57was like a corpse

00:41:58crawling with maggots.

00:42:00Apart from being sickening,

00:42:01it held absolutely no meaning.

00:42:04Three days later,

00:42:05Lower Manhattan,

00:42:06New York Supreme Court,

00:42:07the solemn, majestic

00:42:08Roman columns

00:42:08and the freezing marble dome

00:42:09highlighted

00:42:10new loot legal authority here.

00:42:11Outside courtroom before today,

00:42:13it was packed with

00:42:13sharp-nosed New York media reporters.

00:42:15The shocking case

00:42:16of an abandoned Rockefeller

00:42:17young man being sued

00:42:18by his lower class wife

00:42:19for divorce,

00:42:19Big Maury,

00:42:20and massive asset transfers

00:42:21had longly sent

00:42:22monstrous shockwaves

00:42:23through Wall Street.

00:42:23The oak doors

00:42:24of courtroom were pushed open.

00:42:26All the camera flashes

00:42:27went off in a frenzy.

00:42:28I stepped into the courtroom

00:42:29with a composed stride

00:42:30wearing a pair of

00:42:31extremely sharp black stilettos.

00:42:32I was dressed in a bespoke

00:42:34black Dior Couture suit

00:42:35custom-y by Kevin,

00:42:36yet it vividly showcased

00:42:38the resilience

00:42:38I had accumulated

00:42:39over 10 years

00:42:40and the cold ruthness

00:42:41My hair was meticulously pinned up

00:42:43and resting on my exposed

00:42:45swan-like neck

00:42:46was the priceless vintage

00:42:47Van Clearpal's diamond necklace

00:42:49that Kevin had personally

00:42:50fastened on me last night.

00:42:51I was no longer

00:42:52the subservident Carrie

00:42:53cowering behind

00:42:54a convenience store cash register.

00:42:56I was the queen

00:42:57of today's trial.

00:43:00And beside me,

00:43:01Kevin was like an

00:43:02invenerable knight of the dark.

00:43:03Wearing a pure black 3P suit,

00:43:06his tall, commanding

00:43:06Pesige,

00:43:07rarity at a suffocating

00:43:08sense of oppression.

00:43:09He didn't even cast

00:43:10a single glass at the opposition,

00:43:11he simply held my hand

00:43:12with the utmost naturalness

00:43:13and led me to my seat.

00:43:15In stark contrast,

00:43:16Henry,

00:43:17sitting at the defendant's table,

00:43:18looked like a zombie

00:43:20freshly dug out of a grave.

00:43:21He was wearing

00:43:22a cheap synthetic suit.

00:43:24Having not showered for days,

00:43:26his hair clung greasily

00:43:27to his scalp.

00:43:28His eye sockets

00:43:29were deeply solo

00:43:30and his eyeballs

00:43:31were heavily bloodshed.

00:43:33When he saw me appear,

00:43:34radiating brilliance,

00:43:36with Kevin guarding me

00:43:36by my side like a god,

00:43:38a flash of extreme jealousy,

00:43:39remorse,

00:43:39and terror

00:43:40crossed his eyes.

00:43:42Order in the court.

00:43:43Court is now in session.

00:43:45Immediately stood up,

00:43:47preemptively launching

00:43:48into the bitter victim act.

00:43:49He had been brewing

00:43:50for three days.

00:43:50Your honor,

00:43:51I have been falsely accused.

00:43:53He squeezed out a few tears,

00:43:54his voice trembling,

00:43:55as if he had suffered

00:43:56the greatest injustice

00:43:57in the world.

00:43:57It's her!

00:43:58This woman is after

00:43:59my family's fortune.

00:44:00I concealed my identity

00:44:01only to seek pure love

00:44:02and art,

00:44:03but I discovered

00:44:03she is an absolute gold digger,

00:44:05which forced me

00:44:06to transfer our marital assets.

00:44:07As for the big mommy,

00:44:08that was because Leela

00:44:09suffers from severe

00:44:10mental illness.

00:44:10I was merely pacifying her

00:44:11so she would cooperate

00:44:12with her treatment.

00:44:13I am the real victim here!

00:44:14He tried to use

00:44:14these black and white

00:44:15reversing lies

00:44:16to garner a final shred

00:44:17of sympathy.

00:44:18I watched him flail about

00:44:19like a clown

00:44:19with utter indifference,

00:44:20lacking even the desire

00:44:21to rebut him.

00:44:22Because Harvey,

00:44:23the top divorce

00:44:24and white-collar crime

00:44:25attorney in the country,

00:44:26hired for me by Kevin

00:44:27at an exorbitant price,

00:44:29and known as

00:44:29the Wall Street meat grinder,

00:44:31had already slowly stood up.

00:44:33Harvey didn't even

00:44:34give Henry a passing glance.

00:44:36He directly threw

00:44:37a thick stack

00:44:38of ironclad evidence

00:44:39onto the projector

00:44:40to display

00:44:40on the large screen.

00:44:42Your Honor,

00:44:44the defendant's defense

00:44:45is quite frankly

00:44:46an insult

00:44:47to this court's intelligence.

00:44:49First,

00:44:50this is the original

00:44:50marriage registration

00:44:51retrieved from

00:44:52the Paris City Hall

00:44:52in France,

00:44:53accompanied by

00:44:54a DNA paternity report

00:44:55of the illegitimate child

00:44:56the defendant shares

00:44:57with Mrs. Lillia.

00:44:58The evidence

00:44:59for transnational bigamy

00:45:00is irrefutable.

00:45:01Second,

00:45:02the defendant claims

00:45:02my client was after

00:45:03his fortune.

00:45:04However,

00:45:05over the past full decade,

00:45:06my client worked

00:45:06over 80 hours a week

00:45:07at a mere $15 an hour,

00:45:09shouldering 100%

00:45:10of the household's

00:45:10living expenses.

00:45:11During this exact same period,

00:45:12the defendant used

00:45:13shell companies

00:45:14to wire $32 million

00:45:15from his trust fund

00:45:16to accounts

00:45:17under Lillia's name

00:45:18across 46 separate transactions.

00:45:21What is most agrogious

00:45:23is that five years ago,

00:45:25the defendant forged

00:45:26the signature

00:45:26of my client,

00:45:28Ms. Carrie,

00:45:29and committed wire fraud

00:45:30to illegally cash out

00:45:31$30,000

00:45:32in her 401k retirement fund,

00:45:34money meant to secure

00:45:35her future.

00:45:36On that very same day,

00:45:37he wired this money

00:45:38to Switzerland

00:45:38to purchase ski gear.

00:45:41Your Honor,

00:45:41this is no longer

00:45:42just a divorce,

00:45:43property, and spute.

00:45:45This,

00:45:45this is an egregious case

00:45:47of criminal financial fraud.

00:45:54No!

00:45:55No!

00:45:56I didn't sign that!

00:45:57Proof!

00:45:58You have no proof!

00:45:59Oh?

00:46:01Is that so?

00:46:03Young Master Henry,

00:46:05did you really think

00:46:06that the secret shadow trust

00:46:07you set up

00:46:08in the Cayman Kindlands,

00:46:09where you are

00:46:09the ultimate beneficiary,

00:46:11could actually be kept

00:46:12hidden from the world?

00:46:16How could you know?

00:46:17In the face

00:46:18of the intelligence network

00:46:19of a top

00:46:20Wall Street investment

00:46:21till-in,

00:46:23No offshore account

00:46:25can remain a secret.

00:46:27Now there are only

00:46:28two paths before you.

00:46:29First,

00:46:29you sign this unconditional

00:46:30asset surrender agreement

00:46:32trapped by my lawyer

00:46:33right here in court.

00:46:34You will transfer

00:46:34every single cent

00:46:35of that final $5 million

00:46:36in the Cayman Islands

00:46:37into my account

00:46:38as civil compensation

00:46:39for my 10 years

00:46:40of lost youth

00:46:41and my mother's life.

00:46:42You leave this marriage

00:46:43with absolutely nothing

00:46:44and I will drop

00:46:45the criminal charges

00:46:46for forgery

00:46:47and wire spiel against you.

00:46:48Second,

00:46:49I immediately hand over

00:46:50this Cayman Islands

00:46:51account statement

00:46:51along with the evidence

00:46:53of your forged signature

00:46:54to the FBI

00:46:55and federal prosecutors.

00:46:56The Rockefeller family

00:46:57has already abandoned you.

00:46:58Without their top tip

00:46:58legal team,

00:46:59these two federal felonies

00:47:00are enough to lock you

00:47:00in a maximum security

00:47:01federal prison

00:47:02where you'll be treated

00:47:03as a daily toy

00:47:04by gangland felons

00:47:05living a life worse than death

00:47:07for a full 20 years.

00:47:09Make your choice, Henry.

00:47:13He was like a knight.

00:47:14Enough for all your nightmares

00:47:15to come true.

00:47:16Morning is here, Henry.

00:47:17Your good days are over.

00:47:19Henry was shaking

00:47:20like a leaf,

00:47:21looking into my

00:47:22temperature-less eyes.

00:47:24He finally understood

00:47:25that the lower-class woman

00:47:26he had once manipulated

00:47:27at will and trampled underfoot

00:47:28had now incarnated

00:47:29into an evil spirit,

00:47:32blood crushing his bones

00:47:33and sucking out his marrow.

00:47:36Your life,

00:47:37will be a living hell.

00:47:42You will beg for death

00:47:45and I will deny you.

00:47:47Under the immense terror

00:47:48of 20 years of inhuman torture

00:47:49in a federal prison,

00:47:51psychological defenses

00:47:52collapsed completely in.

00:47:56Two.

00:47:58Objection!

00:47:59And crawling,

00:48:00he grabbed the fountain pen

00:48:01off the table

00:48:02and on stage.

00:48:03In absolute despair,

00:48:04signed his name

00:48:05and pressed his thumbprint

00:48:06onto the asset surrender.

00:48:07agreement.

00:48:08The moment he finished signing,

00:48:10it was as if the last drop

00:48:11of blood had been drained

00:48:12from his hollow shell.

00:48:14The court accepts the agreement.

00:48:17This case is closed.

00:48:20I let out a long exhale

00:48:21as if exhaling the foul air,

00:48:23suffocation, despair

00:48:24and the lingering haze

00:48:25of poverty

00:48:26that had been pressing down

00:48:27on my chest

00:48:27for 10 full years.

00:48:29I won.

00:48:30Not only had I thoroughly

00:48:31through his very last drop

00:48:32of resinual value,

00:48:33sending him plummeting

00:48:34into an abyss

00:48:34of eternal doom.

00:48:36A warm sensation

00:48:37came from beside me.

00:48:38Kevin had grasped my hand.

00:48:40I turned my head

00:48:41and met his deep eyes.

00:48:42At this very moment,

00:48:43this Wall Street tyrant

00:48:44who was notoriously ruthless

00:48:45in business

00:48:46and struck fear

00:48:46into the hearts

00:48:47was gazing deeply at me

00:48:48with an indescribable mix

00:48:49of awe, admiration

00:48:50and a love so full

00:48:51it was on the verge

00:48:52of overflowing.

00:48:56Kevin?

00:48:57Kevin lowered his head

00:48:58slightly

00:48:59and in a voice

00:49:00only the two of us

00:49:01could hear

00:49:01said to me

00:49:02with extreme tenderness,

00:49:04Beautifully done, Carrie.

00:49:06My queen.

00:49:09The day we walked out

00:49:11of the New York Supreme Court,

00:49:12the sky cleared up.

00:49:13But for Henry,

00:49:14his world had completely

00:49:15plunged into a lightless,

00:49:16inescapable hell.

00:49:21Pushing open

00:49:21that rickety wooden door,

00:49:23the stench of the basement

00:49:23rushed at his face.

00:49:26My money.

00:49:27My money.

00:49:29It's all gone.

00:49:32Carrie.

00:49:33I was wrong.

00:49:34I was really wrong.

00:49:36Henry let out

00:49:36a miserable shriek

00:49:37and collapsed stiffly

00:49:38from the mattress

00:49:39onto the floor.

00:49:40Clutching his neck

00:49:41in agony,

00:49:41he realized that

00:49:42half of his body

00:49:43was rapidly losing sensation.

00:49:44Grew stiff and numb,

00:49:46rendering him unable

00:49:47to articulate

00:49:47even a single

00:49:48complete sentence.

00:49:51Kane.

00:49:52Save.

00:49:54Save me.

00:49:55A stroke.

00:49:56An acute cerebral infarction

00:49:57triggered by

00:49:58high blood pressure.

00:50:01Call.

00:50:03911.

00:50:03What?

00:50:0618-year-old Kane

00:50:07was startled.

00:50:08The pizza in his hand

00:50:09dropped to the floor,

00:50:10and he instinctively

00:50:11pulled out his phone,

00:50:12preparing to call

00:50:13emergency services.

00:50:15To the moment his finger

00:50:16hovered over the screen,

00:50:17he abruptly stopped.

00:50:21Call 911?

00:50:23Call an ambulance?

00:50:24In the U.S.,

00:50:25just calling an ambulance

00:50:26starts at over $1,000,

00:50:28let alone the emergency

00:50:29resuscitation for a stroke

00:50:31and the subsequent

00:50:32astronomical hospital fees.

00:50:34The Rockefeller family

00:50:36had already cut off

00:50:37all their financial sources.

00:50:38Henry was now

00:50:39a penniless pauper

00:50:40and one burdened

00:50:41with a massive

00:50:41civil settlement to boot.

00:50:43If he sent him

00:50:44to the hospital,

00:50:45those astronomical

00:50:46medical bills

00:50:47would ultimately fall

00:50:48on his own head

00:50:48as the soul next of Ken.

00:50:52You can only that.

00:50:53Kane looked down

00:50:54at the hemiplegic man

00:50:55on the floor,

00:50:56drool sliding

00:50:56from the corner of his mouth.

00:50:58A few days ago,

00:51:00this was the same man

00:51:00who had pinned him down

00:51:01in the muddy water

00:51:02and beaten him

00:51:03like a mad dog

00:51:03over half a moldy,

00:51:05expired sandwich.

00:51:06It was this man's

00:51:07philandering and stupidity

00:51:08that got him expelled

00:51:09from Columbia University,

00:51:10turning him from

00:51:11a high-end mighty

00:51:12old-money young master

00:51:13into a dishwashing lackey

00:51:14in a Chinatown back kitchen.

00:51:16Why should I be

00:51:16dragged down by you?

00:51:17Why should I sacrifice

00:51:18the rest of my life

00:51:19to serve a paralyzed

00:51:20piece of trash?

00:51:23Dad, I'm sorry.

00:51:24I can't even feed myself

00:51:26right now.

00:51:28Where would I get

00:51:29the money to send you

00:51:30to the hospital?

00:51:31Kane's voice was as cold

00:51:32as a block of ice.

00:51:33By bit mercilessly,

00:51:35he pried open the fingers

00:51:36that Henry was using

00:51:37to death grip his pant leg.

00:51:38You lie here.

00:51:40I'm going to

00:51:41the pharmacy outside

00:51:43to buy you

00:51:44some cheap aspirin.

00:51:48Yeah, just taking

00:51:49some blood pressure meds

00:51:50will fix it.

00:51:51With that, Kane rushed

00:51:52out of the basement

00:51:52without looking back,

00:51:53slamming the door

00:51:54shut with a heavy bang.

00:51:55He didn't go by medicine.

00:51:56He sat in a corner

00:51:57internet cafe

00:51:58for five whole hour

00:51:59stains.

00:52:00Only when he was

00:52:01absolutely certain

00:52:01he had missed the golden

00:52:02window for stroke

00:52:03resuscitation did he

00:52:04slowly trudge back

00:52:05to the basement

00:52:06holding a $2 box

00:52:07of the cheapest,

00:52:08lowest quality

00:52:08blood pressure pills.

00:52:12When he pushed

00:52:13the door open,

00:52:14Henry was completely

00:52:15paralyzed.

00:52:16This once arrogant,

00:52:17self-proclaimed

00:52:18noble Rockefeller heir

00:52:19was completely reduced

00:52:20to a foul-smelling

00:52:21piece of rotting meat.

00:52:23Suffering endless

00:52:24humiliations outside

00:52:25every day,

00:52:27Kane would return

00:52:27to the basement

00:52:28and vent all his

00:52:29resentment onto

00:52:29the paralyzed Henry.

00:52:30He refused to change

00:52:32or wash.

00:52:33Soiled pants,

00:52:34only feeding him

00:52:35scavenged,

00:52:36often spoiled,

00:52:37cold leftovers.

00:52:38In less than half a

00:52:40month,

00:52:40massive,

00:52:41festering bedsores

00:52:41broke out across

00:52:42Henry's back and

00:52:43buttocks.

00:52:44Dark,

00:52:45damp basement,

00:52:46the wounds began

00:52:46to attract flies

00:52:47and even spawned

00:52:48white maggots.

00:52:49Every night,

00:52:50as rats scurried

00:52:51past his bed,

00:52:53Henry could only

00:52:53stare with the one

00:52:54eye that could still

00:52:55move,

00:52:55letting out whimpers

00:52:56of despair amidst

00:52:57the stench of urine

00:52:58and rotting flesh.

00:52:59In his mind,

00:53:00he recalled the past

00:53:0110 years countless

00:53:02times.

00:53:03He had once treated

00:53:04that warmth like

00:53:05cheap garbage,

00:53:06treating that woman

00:53:07as bottom-tier dirt

00:53:07to be trampled

00:53:08on at will.

00:53:10Now,

00:53:10he had finally gotten

00:53:11his wish and escaped

00:53:12that lower-class

00:53:13vulgarity,

00:53:14only to be personally

00:53:15shoved into an

00:53:16irredeemable suspect

00:53:17by his most spoiled

00:53:17biological son.

00:53:23Half a month later,

00:53:25Pier 88,

00:53:26Manhattan.

00:53:27Today,

00:53:27Wall Street's top

00:53:28investment banking

00:53:29consortium had

00:53:29chartered an ultra-luxurious

00:53:31super-react here

00:53:31to host a star-studded

00:53:33charity gala.

00:53:34In the early winter

00:53:34New York harbor,

00:53:35the sea breeze was

00:53:36biting cold,

00:53:37but the pier was

00:53:38packed with Maybox,

00:53:39Rolls-Royces,

00:53:40and Bentleys.

00:53:42Political and business

00:53:43elite strutted down

00:53:44the red carpet,

00:53:46slowly boarding the ship

00:53:47surrounded by security.

00:53:49Kane hid behind the

00:53:49iron fence on the

00:53:50perimeter of the pier,

00:53:51staring intently at

00:53:52the end of the red carpet

00:53:53like a rat in a sewer

00:53:54hiding from the sunlight.

00:53:56He was now entirely

00:53:57out of options.

00:53:59Just then,

00:54:00a pure black,

00:54:00bulletproof stretch

00:54:01Maybox slowly pulled

00:54:02up to a stop

00:54:03at the end of the

00:54:03red carpet.

00:54:04Wearing white gloves

00:54:05respectfully pulled

00:54:06the car door open.

00:54:07Kevin stepped out

00:54:08of the car first.

00:54:09Wearing an exquisitely

00:54:10tailored Tom Ford

00:54:11bespoke tuxedo,

00:54:12his posture was as tall

00:54:13and straight as a pine tree.

00:54:15God-like face

00:54:16bore a coldness

00:54:17that forbade anyone

00:54:18from approaching.

00:54:19Immediately following,

00:54:20holding up the hem

00:54:21of my dress,

00:54:22I gracefully stepped

00:54:23out of the car.

00:54:24Tonight,

00:54:24I was wearing

00:54:25an oak pouture,

00:54:26emerald green starry

00:54:27night sequined

00:54:27evening gown.

00:54:29Carrie!

00:54:30That's Carrie!

00:54:31The extreme contrast

00:54:32combined with his

00:54:33sheer despair

00:54:33over his current

00:54:34situation.

00:54:35We obliterated

00:54:36Kane's last room

00:54:37in a shred of sanity.

00:54:39Mom!

00:54:41Stop right there!

00:54:42The several top-tier

00:54:43Blackwater bodyguards

00:54:44reacted instantly.

00:54:46In the blink of an eye,

00:54:47they ruthlessly pinned

00:54:48Kane down onto the

00:54:49red carpet,

00:54:49less than two meters

00:54:50away from me.

00:54:51Mom!

00:54:52It's me!

00:54:54It's Kane!

00:54:56Mom!

00:54:57Mom, I was wrong!

00:54:59I really know

00:55:01I was wrong!

00:55:03Please,

00:55:04I beg you,

00:55:05forgive me!

00:55:08Kane's plea struck

00:55:09me as utterly ridiculous.

00:55:11I'm not human!

00:55:13I'm an animal!

00:55:16I shouldn't have

00:55:18cursed at you

00:55:18in the hospital!

00:55:19I shouldn't have

00:55:21despised you!

00:55:22The emotional

00:55:23black mind.

00:55:25Mom, you raised

00:55:26me for ten years!

00:55:28For ten years,

00:55:29you were the one

00:55:29taking care of me!

00:55:31I'm the ungrateful

00:55:32wretch!

00:55:33I'm the ungrateful

00:55:34wretch!

00:55:35I'm begging you,

00:55:36please just give me

00:55:36one more chance!

00:55:37Okay?

00:55:39I stood quietly

00:55:40in place,

00:55:41letting the sea breeze

00:55:42catch my shulk.

00:55:43I simply looked

00:55:44down at him

00:55:44from above,

00:55:45as if looking at

00:55:46a laughable,

00:55:47low-quality

00:55:47comedy prop.

00:55:49Mom!

00:55:49Even if you're

00:55:51mad at me!

00:55:52Look at Dad!

00:55:53He's paralyzed!

00:55:55He can only

00:55:55lie on a

00:55:56stinking mattress

00:55:57in his own

00:55:59piss and shit!

00:56:01His back is

00:56:03completely

00:56:03rotted!

00:56:06Crawling with

00:56:07maggots!

00:56:08He's dying!

00:56:11I'm begging you,

00:56:12you're so rich

00:56:13now.

00:56:14If you just

00:56:15take out half-

00:56:16No!

00:56:17Just take out

00:56:18a tiny bit of

00:56:37Emotional

00:56:38blackmail.

00:56:39Deep within

00:56:39this 18-year-old

00:56:40soul,

00:56:41he still

00:56:42believed

00:56:42that the

00:56:43woman who

00:56:43had given

00:56:44unconditionally

00:56:45for 10

00:56:45years would

00:56:46soften her

00:56:46heart the

00:56:47moment she

00:56:48heard him

00:56:48cry Mom

00:56:49a few times,

00:56:50the moment

00:56:50she saw him

00:56:51shed a few

00:56:51tears.

00:56:53He thought

00:56:54she would

00:56:54return to

00:56:55dump to

00:56:55burn herself

00:56:57again,

00:56:57like a

00:56:59comes when

00:56:59called.

00:57:02But

00:57:02unfortunately,

00:57:04he was

00:57:04wrong.

00:57:06The Carrie

00:57:20A thick

00:57:20flash of

00:57:21murderous

00:57:21intent

00:57:21flickered

00:57:22in Kevin's

00:57:24was about
