Transcript
00:00Our neighbor told me,
00:01Come over for dinner sometime.
00:03So I did, every single day, for 13 years.
00:06When I was 10, my teacher told me I wasn't allowed to go home until I finished my homework.
00:11So I stayed at school for three days.
00:12My parents panicked and called the police.
00:14My teacher ended up getting publicly reprimanded by the school.
00:18Afterward, he yelled at me in frustration.
00:20If you can't understand what people mean, then record what they say.
00:23Let everyone hear it and decide whether that's really what I meant.
00:26That part, I understood.
00:27From then on, I carried a voice recorder with me everywhere.
00:30At 18, I was finally found by my wealthy biological family.
00:35Turns out, I was the daughter who had been switched at birth.
00:37When Chloe saw that my bedroom was bigger than hers, her eyes immediately turned red.
00:42Emma is mom and dad's real daughter.
00:43I guess there was never really a place for me in this family.
00:47I'll pack my things and leave.
00:48I'll give everything back to her.
00:50I nodded.
00:51Then I stayed up all night packing 28 boxes for her.
00:54When Ethan found out, he completely lost it.
00:57You're kicking her out?
00:58Fine, then kick me out too.
01:00As long as I'm here, I'm not letting her go through this alone.
01:03I nodded again.
01:04Then I packed Ethan's things too.
01:06I even booked two plane tickets for them to leave town.
01:08The next morning, they stood in their empty rooms and completely lost their minds.
01:12They demanded to know what gave me the right to throw them out.
01:15I stared at them, confused.
01:17Didn't you ask me to send both of you away?
01:22Who said you could touch our stuff?
01:23This is our house.
01:24You don't get to come in here and do whatever you want.
01:26You said to send you away too.
01:28I pulled a small notebook from my pocket and flipped to the page from the night before.
01:31Everything was written down clearly.
01:33Chloe, I'll pack my things and leave.
01:35I'll give everything back to Emma.
01:37Ethan then kicked me out too.
01:39Ethan was so angry that his fingers were shaking.
01:42I was speaking out of anger.
01:43You seriously don't understand that?
01:45I shook my head honestly.
01:46No.
01:46Tears immediately spilled from Chloe's eyes.
01:49She stood there in a white nightgown, surrounded by scattered clothes and open boxes, looking painfully fragile.
01:55Ethan, don't blame Emma.
01:56She only just came back.
01:58Maybe she still doesn't see us as family yet.
02:00If me leaving would make her feel more comfortable here, then I'll go.
02:05I hurried over to help.
02:07You can't carry that by yourself.
02:09I already called a moving company.
02:10They'll be here at 7.30.
02:11Chloe froze.
02:12Then she started crying even harder.
02:14Ethan looked like he'd just been punched in the face.
02:17For several seconds, he couldn't even speak.
02:19Just then, footsteps came from downstairs.
02:22My biological parents, Luke and Susan, came up the stairs.
02:26What on earth is going on?
02:31What does it look like?
02:32You just brought her back and she's already trying to kick me and Chloe out.
02:36I'm not trying to kick anyone out.
02:38They asked me to send them away.
02:39I was just doing what they said.
02:41After Susan heard what happened, a conflicted look crossed her face.
02:44That's enough.
02:45No one is making you leave.
02:47I've raised you for 18 years.
02:49You'll always have a place in this family.
02:51Chloe buried her face against Susan's shoulder and quietly sobbed.
02:54But Emma doesn't seem to like me.
02:57I don't dislike you.
02:58I explained seriously.
03:00You said you wanted to leave, so I helped you pack.
03:02Ethan said he'd go with you, so I booked the tickets.
03:04I stayed up until four in the morning and even paid $600 for the movers.
03:08If that counts as not liking you, then I won't help next time.
03:13Luke, on the other hand, seemed to understand immediately.
03:16He looked at Ethan, his voice turning stern.
03:19Emma just came home.
03:20It's bad enough that you didn't make her feel welcome, but the two of you ganging up on her like
03:24this?
03:24What were you thinking?
03:27Chloe was just scared of losing her family.
03:29What did she do wrong?
03:31Luke's expression darkened.
03:32And what about Emma?
03:34She hasn't seen her biological parents in 18 years.
03:37You don't think she's scared too?
03:38The hallway fell silent.
03:41I'm sorry, Emma.
03:42I shouldn't have said those things last night.
03:44From now on, I'll really treat you like my sister, okay?
03:46I nodded.
03:47Okay.
03:48Then, can you have them bring everything back?
03:52Sure.
03:52But the movers are already on their way.
03:55If I cancel now, there's a $150 cancellation fee,
03:58and the two plane tickets will cost another $600 to refund.
04:02Who's paying for that?
04:03Chloe froze again.
04:05In the end, Ethan paid through gritted teeth.
04:15Emma, why didn't you come over for dinner today?
04:17I saved you some smoked beef.
04:19I'm back at my biological parents' house now.
04:22They live about 800 miles away, so I can't make it back today.
04:25Mrs. Smith went quiet for a couple of seconds.
04:27I was just asking.
04:28I didn't actually expect you to come all the way back.
04:31I know, but you saved food for me.
04:33If I don't eat it, it'll go to waste.
04:36Fine.
04:36I'll eat it for you.
04:38And if they ever make you feel unwelcome over there, come home.
04:41There'll always be a place for you at my table.
04:43Okay.
04:44Thank you, Mrs. Smith.
04:46Mrs. Smith ate the smoked beef she saved for me.
04:52Emma, you really are something.
04:54I wasn't sure why, but it didn't sound like a compliment.
04:58The next day, Susan took me shopping for new clothes.
05:00I'd grown up wearing cheap clothes, so I couldn't understand how a single dress could cost five figures.
05:05While the sales associate packed everything up, I kept staring at the price tags.
05:10Susan thought I didn't like them.
05:12Do you want to pick out a few more?
05:14No.
05:15These should last me 13 years.
05:17After we got home, she took out a pearl brooch.
05:22Grandma gave this to me years ago.
05:23I want you to have it now.
05:25The pearl gleamed beautifully.
05:27Apparently, the pearl brooch was worth over a million dollars.
05:30I didn't dare leave something that expensive lying around,
05:33so I went straight to the butler and asked him to open the safe.
05:36I had him inspect the pearl brooch in front of me,
05:38then record the date, item number, and storage location in the household inventory log.
05:43The butler looked surprised.
05:45Miss Emma, we're all family here.
05:47There's no need to be this careful.
05:48Anything valuable needs a paper trail.
05:50Mrs. Smith taught me that.
05:52She used to run a small diner and kept track of everything,
05:55even something as small as a few pounds of potatoes.
05:57She always said,
05:59People forget.
06:00Paper doesn't.
06:01That afternoon, Chloe came to see me.
06:03She was holding a diamond necklace and smiling at me as sweetly as ever.
06:11Emma, this necklace would look perfect on you.
06:14Go ahead and wear it.
06:16You're giving it to me?
06:18Of course.
06:19From now on, what's mine is yours.
06:21You can take anything you like.
06:23And I never have to give it back?
06:27Never.
06:28I took the necklace and went straight downstairs to find the butler.
06:31Please put this in the safe, too.
06:35That evening, my family held a welcome party for me.
06:39My necklace!
06:42Everyone turned to look at her.
06:44She frantically searched through her purse,
06:45and tears quickly filled her eyes.
06:47That was Ethan's 18th birthday gift to me.
06:50It's worth over a million dollars.
06:52I left it in my room.
06:54How could it just disappear?
06:56Did anyone from outside come into the house today?
07:00Chloe hesitated, then glanced at me.
07:03Emma was the only one who came into my room this afternoon.
07:06But I'm sure she didn't take it.
07:08If she liked it that much, I would have just given it to her.
07:10A ripple went through the guest.
07:14Give it back.
07:18Chloe gave it to me.
07:20So you admit you took it?
07:21Chloe was worried you'd feel out of place,
07:23so she kindly showed you around her room,
07:25and you stole her necklace the second her back was turned?
07:30Emma, just because you grew up poor
07:32doesn't mean you can come into this family
07:33and start stealing things.
07:35Whispers broke out around us.
07:37Hey.
07:41Mom, don't blame Emma.
07:43She probably just hasn't seen jewelry like this before.
07:48Please bring me the inventory log.
07:56A few minutes later,
07:57the butler came back with the necklace
07:59and the inventory log.
08:00Everything was written down
08:02clearly 3.12pm.
08:03Chloe gave the necklace to me.
08:053.16pm.
08:06The necklace was placed in the safe.
08:08Chloe's face turned pale.
08:09I...
08:10I forgot.
08:11I was genuinely confused.
08:12You forgot giving away something worth over a million dollars,
08:15but you remembered that I went into your room?
08:17Ethan's expression immediately darkened.
08:21Emma, are you saying I framed you on purpose?
08:23I'm not saying that.
08:25I pointed at the log.
08:27The record already makes it pretty clear.
08:32Chloe,
08:34apologize to Emma.
08:39She just forgot.
08:41Do you really have to keep pushing her like this?
08:43I thought about it seriously.
08:45Luke told her to apologize.
08:47How am I the one pushing her?
08:49This time, he had nothing to say.
08:51After the necklace incident,
08:52Chloe behaved herself for a few days.
08:54That weekend,
08:55she suddenly suggested throwing a small family gathering for me.
08:58If you make a dessert yourself,
09:00everyone will see how much effort you're making.
09:02I had eaten at Mrs. Smith's diner for 13 years,
09:05and I'd spent just as many years helping her wash dishes.
09:08Whenever she got busy,
09:09I also helped chop vegetables,
09:11serve food,
09:11and keep the books.
09:12Rule number one.
09:13Mrs. Smith was extremely strict about food safety.
09:15Every finished dish had to have a sample saved.
09:18Different kitchen tools had to be kept separate,
09:20and anyone who touched the ingredients had to be recorded.
09:23I remembered every single rule.
09:25Chloe said she wanted mango mousse.
09:27Is there anything you can't eat?
09:28No.
09:29Any allergies?
09:31No.
09:32Are you sure?
09:34I'm sure.
09:39I bought all the ingredients myself,
09:41and kept the packaging,
09:43receipts,
09:43and a full record of the preparation process.
09:46Then I put it in the refrigerator.
09:48At the family gathering,
09:49Chloe took two bites of the mousse.
09:51Then she suddenly grabbed her throat and collapsed.
09:53Her breathing turned ragged.
09:55Red welts spread rapidly across her skin.
09:57Ethan scooped her up and rushed her to the hospital.
10:07Tests showed that Chloe had suffered a severe allergic reaction to peanut.
10:20Chloe told you she was severely allergic to peanuts.
10:22Why would you put peanuts in her dessert?
10:24I didn't.
10:25Then who else could it have been?
10:26You made the dessert yourself,
10:27and she specifically warned you not to use peanuts.
10:31Emma,
10:32did Chloe really tell you about the allergy?
10:34No.
10:38Before I made the dessert,
10:39I asked her if there was anything she couldn't eat
10:40or anything she was allergic to.
10:41She said no,
10:42and she signed the confirmation herself.
10:44Ethan gave a short, humorless laugh.
10:47What does one signature prove?
10:49Maybe you tricked her into signing it.
10:50You're jealous because we care about her, aren't you?
10:52You wanted to hurt her!
10:53I didn't bother arguing.
10:58This was taken from the mousse
11:00right after I finished making it.
11:01Have it tested.
11:05Everything I used is here.
11:06No peanuts,
11:07no peanut oil,
11:08nothing containing peanuts.
11:09Luke immediately had the sample sent out for testing.
11:12The results came back soon after.
11:14There wasn't a trace of peanut in it.
11:17Ethan's face changed instantly.
11:19He rushed back to the hospital to confront Chloe.
11:25She claimed she had simply gotten hungry earlier
11:27and eaten a piece of peanut candy.
11:29It's all my fault.
11:30I made everyone misunderstand Emma.
11:36Ethan didn't press her any further.
11:38Instead, he came back and warned me.
11:43Chloe almost died.
11:45Don't bring this up around her and upset her.
11:46I didn't understand.
11:48She almost made everyone think I tried to kill her.
11:50Why can't I talk about it?
11:51She already apologized.
11:53She didn't apologize to me.
11:54Ethan went silent.
11:57Luke's face turned cold.
11:58For the first time,
12:00he openly tore into Ethan.
12:02Ethan,
12:03do you seriously not know right from right anymore?
12:05Or do you just not care what Emma has been put through?
12:09That night,
12:10Grandma asked me to come to her study.
12:12She took my hand
12:13and pushed a share transfer agreement
12:15across the desk toward me.
12:24After everything you've been through,
12:25there's no way I can give you back
12:26the 18 years you lost.
12:29All I can do is return
12:30what should have been yours in the first place.
12:32The document stated that
12:33Grandma intended to transfer
12:3510% of our company shares to me.
12:37Why are you giving this to me?
12:41Because you're the one this family lost.
12:46As I left the study,
12:48I saw Chloe standing at the top of the stairs.
12:51I couldn't read her expression.
12:53Before the share transfer was finalized,
12:55Grandpa returned from receiving
12:56medical treatment overseas.
12:58He had a heart condition
12:59and needed medication every day.
13:04Grandpa just got back
13:06and you haven't really had a chance
13:07to talk to him yet.
13:08Can you take his medication to him?
13:10You can say hello while you're there.
13:11Did the doctor prepare this?
13:13The family doctor just dropped it off.
13:15Grandpa can't miss a dose.
13:16I looked down at the pill organizer.
13:19I didn't want anything to go wrong,
13:20so I asked her three times.
13:23Yes, this is the one.
13:25Just take it to him exactly like this.
13:27Emma, don't tell me something this simple
13:28is too difficult for you.
13:32He had just finished a video call
13:34and didn't take it right away.
13:36He told me to leave it on the desk.
13:37Just take it to him exactly like this.
13:39Emma, don't tell me something this simple
13:40is too difficult for you.
13:41By the time the ambulance arrived,
13:43Grandpa was unconscious.
13:44At the hospital,
13:45the doctors found a dangerously high level
13:47of heart medication in his system.
13:49The pills in the organizer
13:51had also been tampered with.
13:52If he hadn't received treatment in time,
13:54he might never have woken up.
13:56Luckily, he was sent here in time.
14:00The security footage outside Grandpa's study
14:03was clear.
14:04That night,
14:04I was the only person seen
14:06entering the room
14:07with the pill organizer.
14:08Then, one of the house staff
14:09found an empty bottle
14:11of heart medication
14:11in my bedroom.
14:12My fingerprints were on it.
14:14Chloe stood beside Susan,
14:16her face completely pale.
14:19Emma,
14:19the pills I gave you
14:21were just vitamins.
14:22Why did you switch them?
14:31You told me those were Grandpa's pills.
14:33Tears immediately filled Chloe's eyes.
14:37No, I didn't.
14:38I was just worried about Grandpa
14:40after he came back from overseas,
14:41so I asked you to bring him some vitamins.
14:43Then she suddenly covered her mouth
14:44as if something adjusted her to her.
14:46Emma,
14:47were you afraid Grandpa would come back
14:49and stop Grandma
14:50from giving you those shares,
14:51so you...
14:51She didn't finish the sentence.
14:53She didn't have to.
14:54Everyone in the room
14:55understood what she was implying.
14:57The transfer of Grandma's shares to me
14:59hadn't been finalized yet,
15:00and Grandpa had returned
15:02right in the middle of the process.
15:03If he objected,
15:05the whole transfer
15:05could be put on hold,
15:07which made me look like
15:08the person with the strongest reason
15:09to keep him from saying anything.
15:11Emma,
15:12what do you have to say for yourself now?
15:14I didn't switch the pills.
15:15The security footage shows you
15:16taking them into Grandpa's study.
15:17You were the one who delivered them,
15:18and the empty bottle was found in your room.
15:19You really expect me to believe
15:21Chloe would risk Grandpa's life
15:22just to frame you?
15:23She risked her own life
15:24to frame me a few days ago.
15:26Ethan raised his hand.
15:28Luke caught his wrist
15:29before he could hit me.
15:30Emma,
15:31Mom just wants the truth.
15:34Did you do this?
15:35No.
15:37Then asked me to cooperate
15:38with their investigation.
15:40Just then,
15:41the hospital called.
15:42Grandpa had survived
15:43the emergency treatment,
15:44but he was still
15:45in critical condition.
15:46The entire room went still.
15:48This is all my fault.
15:49If I hadn't asked Emma
15:50to bring Grandpa those vitamins,
15:52none of this would have happened.
15:54After all this,
15:55you're still going to deny it?
16:05When Emma first found out
16:06Grandpa was coming back,
16:07she asked me if he might object
16:08to Grandpa giving her those shares.
16:09You actually asked that?
16:13Yes.
16:14Then what do you have to say for yourself?
16:16I just wanted to know
16:17if I'd have to give the shares back.
16:18Emma, you don't have to explain.
16:19I know you were probably
16:20just feeling insecure.
16:20Just then,
16:21a voice came from the doorway.
16:23Who said Grandpa
16:23was against the transfer?
16:24Grandpa's attorney walked in.
16:28Before returning home,
16:29Grandpa had already signed
16:30written approval for Grandma
16:31to transfer 10%
16:32of the company's shares to Emma.
16:33He also made it clear
16:34that the transfer
16:35didn't need to wait for his return.
16:36The paperwork could proceed
16:37without him.
16:39Then why would I need
16:40to hurt Grandpa?
16:43I don't know.
16:44Maybe Emma didn't know
16:45Grandpa had already agreed.
16:55Years ago,
16:56my teacher had told me
16:57that if I couldn't understand
16:58what people really meant,
17:00I should record their exact words
17:01and let everyone decide
17:02for themselves.
17:03That part,
17:04I understood.
17:04So every morning,
17:06the first thing I did
17:07after waking up
17:07was turn on my voice recorder.
17:09I never switched it off.
17:13I'm not making excuses.
17:15Everything Chloe said
17:16is right here.
17:19It was from the night before
17:21when Chloe had come
17:22into my room
17:23and brushed against
17:23the corner of the table.
17:25The doctor prepared
17:25these pills for Grandpa.
17:26Take them to him
17:27exactly like this.
17:27He can't miss a dose.
17:28Yes, this is the one.
17:30Emma, don't tell me something
17:30this simple is too difficult for you.
17:32Chloe's face drained of color.
17:38That's fake!
17:39You edited it to frame me!
17:43Keep playing.
17:45I fast forwarded.
17:46After I delivered the pills
17:47to Grandpa's study,
17:48I went back upstairs to change.
17:50The recorder was still
17:51inside the pocket of my jacket.
17:53I was in the walk-in closet
17:54when Chloe quietly slipped
17:56into my bedroom,
17:57thinking no one was there.
17:58The recording picked up
17:59the sound of drawers
18:00opening and closing.
18:02Mom,
18:03I put the empty bottle
18:04in her room.
18:04Don't worry,
18:05her fingerprints are on it.
18:05I had her open the cap for me earlier
18:06and she had no idea
18:07what was inside.
18:08The cameras only caught her
18:08taking the pills
18:09into Grandpa's study.
18:10Once the old bastard's gone,
18:11nobody can save her.
18:14But the recording wasn't over.
18:16Then a middle-aged woman's voice
18:17came through
18:18from the other end of the call.
18:29You insane?
18:29I only told you to get rid of that girl.
18:31Who told you to actually drug him?
18:32If I didn't go that far,
18:33how else was I supposed
18:34to make her leave?
18:34Grandma already gave her the shares.
18:36Once Grandpa came back,
18:37the whole family would find out
18:38the switch at birth
18:38was never an accident.
18:39If they traced us back to you,
18:40I'm going down too.
18:41What are you so scared of?
18:43You switched those babies
18:4318 years ago
18:44and got away with it.
18:45No one's gonna figure it out now.
18:51I looked up too.
18:52Until that moment,
18:53I had always believed
18:54the switch at birth
18:55had been an accident.
18:56It wasn't.
18:5818 years ago,
18:59Chloe's biological mother
19:01had been working
19:01as a nurse at the hospital.
19:03During a shift change,
19:04she deliberately switched
19:05our identification bracelets.
19:07She wanted her own daughter
19:08to grow up rich.
19:09And after I was taken home
19:10by Mr. and Mrs. Black,
19:12my adoptive parents
19:13never once suspected
19:14I wasn't really theirs.
19:15They didn't have much money,
19:16but they did everything
19:17they could to raise me.
19:18When I was five,
19:19my adoptive father
19:20had to leave town for work.
19:22And my adoptive mother
19:23was hospitalized.
19:24Mrs. Smith saw me eating
19:25the same stale sandwiches
19:27every day
19:27and casually told me,
19:30Come over for dinner sometime.
19:32So I did.
19:33Every day.
19:34Lunch and dinner.
19:35For 13 years,
19:36I had always thought
19:37it was just a simple invitation.
19:38I never realized
19:39that one polite sentence
19:41from Mrs. Smith
19:41had helped raise the daughter
19:43this family had lost.
19:49You can take the recorder
19:50and the recording as evidence.
19:51Please investigate everything
19:52according to the law.
19:56Mom, I was scared.
19:58I never meant to hurt Grandpa.
20:00I was just terrified
20:00of losing all of you.
20:02That woman made me do it.
20:03She told me that once Emma came back,
20:05I'd have nothing left.
20:07You already knew the truth
20:08about who you were?
20:13You already knew the truth
20:16I only found out three years ago.
20:18Then why didn't you tell us?
20:21Because I couldn't bear to lose you!
20:26Ethan, you have to believe me.
20:28I never meant to hurt Grandpa.
20:29That woman told me how much to use.
20:31I thought it would only make him
20:32unconscious for a few days.
20:34For the first time,
20:35he didn't reach out to help her up.
20:38So the empty bottle in Emma's room,
20:41you put it there?
20:42Chloe said nothing.
20:43Her silence was answer enough.
20:44When the police took her away,
20:46she suddenly turned back
20:47and glared at me.
20:48In that moment,
20:49every trace of weakness
20:50and innocence
20:50disappeared from her face.
20:52All that was left
20:52was hatred.
20:53Emma, why did you have to come back?
20:55I didn't understand
20:56why she was asking me that.
20:57I didn't choose to come back.
21:00They found me.
21:05What Chloe did was wrong.
21:06No one's denying that.
21:07But she was still
21:08raised in this family
21:08for 18 years.
21:10Emma, you're back now.
21:11You have the shares.
21:12Grandpa survived.
21:13Maybe it's time
21:14to let some of this go.
21:21What exactly do you mean
21:22by let it go?
21:25I mean, we're family.
21:27There's no reason
21:27to take things this far.
21:29When Chloe switched
21:30Grandpa's medication,
21:31wasn't Grandpa family too?
21:33That's not what I meant.
21:34Then what did you mean?
21:36I'm saying she's young.
21:37She made a stupid mistake.
21:38So at 18,
21:39you can drug someone,
21:40but at 19,
21:41you're suddenly old enough
21:41to be responsible for it?
21:44Why do you have to be
21:45so aggressive?
21:46I'm just asking questions.
21:50You just said you wanted me
21:51to stop pursuing this, right?
21:53That's not what we said.
21:56Then what did you say?
21:58No one answered.
22:00That's okay.
22:01If you're worried
22:01I misunderstood,
22:02you can write it down.
22:03Anyone who thinks
22:04Chloe poisoning Grandpa
22:05and framing me
22:06should just be forgotten
22:06can sign your name here.
22:08Then if Grandpa asks later,
22:09I can tell him
22:10exactly whose idea it was.
22:12Today,
22:12no one was willing
22:13to put their name behind
22:14Let It Go.
22:19We found something
22:20in Chloe's room.
22:26During the investigation,
22:27the police also found
22:29a suicide note
22:29hidden in Chloe's drawer.
22:31The moment Susan
22:31finished reading it,
22:33all the color drained
22:33from her face.
22:34It said,
22:35after Emma came back,
22:36I finally realized
22:37I was never really
22:38part of this family.
22:39She's their real daughter.
22:41Everything I had
22:42should have belonged to her
22:42in the first place.
22:43If I ever disappear,
22:45I hope Mom and Dad
22:45won't blame Emma.
22:47Ethan stood nearby
22:47in silence for a long time.
22:50It sounds like Chloe
22:51was under a lot
22:52of pressure back then.
22:53Emma, did something else
22:54happen between the two of you?
22:56No.
22:57But she wrote all of this.
22:59I didn't argue.
23:00Check her computer again.
23:01Look at the browser history
23:03and the file records.
23:04They found that the suicide note
23:05had actually been created
23:07three months earlier.
23:08They also found searches
23:09for heart medication dosages,
23:11security camera blind spots,
23:12and ways to plant fingerprints.
23:14Where was I three months ago?
23:19Luke answered.
23:20You were still back
23:21in your hometown.
23:22The officer continued.
23:23And based on the file
23:24creation date,
23:25the family hadn't even
23:26officially confirmed
23:27Emma's identity yet.
23:29I looked over
23:30the suicide note again,
23:31but at that point,
23:32I didn't even know
23:33anyone was looking for me.
23:36I didn't even know
23:37anyone was looking for me.
23:39I didn't even know
23:39So I didn't drive her to leave?
23:41She had already decided
23:42how she was going to make it
23:43look like I did
23:43before I ever came back.
23:48Chloe wrote the story
23:49of how I ruined her life
23:50three months
23:51before she met me.
23:52At the time,
23:53I didn't even know
23:54she existed.
23:55Chloe's biological mother,
23:56Linda,
23:57was arrested soon afterward.
23:58The police discovered
23:59that Chloe had been
24:00sending her money
24:01every month
24:01to make sure she stayed away
24:03and never showed up.
24:04When Ethan learned
24:05the full truth,
24:05he locked himself
24:06in his room
24:07for an entire day.
24:08The next morning,
24:09he came to see me
24:09at the hospital.
24:11Emma,
24:12I'm sorry.
24:15Why are you apologizing?
24:18Because I was wrong
24:19about everything before.
24:20I shouldn't have
24:21blindly trusted Chloe
24:22and I shouldn't have
24:23kept hurting you
24:24because of it.
24:25You believed her
24:26because you lived with her
24:27for 18 years.
24:28Ethan seemed to relax a little.
24:29I'm glad you understand.
24:31I understand.
24:32But I haven't forgiven you.
24:34His expression froze.
24:36You accused me of stealing.
24:37You tried to hit me.
24:39You said I deliberately
24:40triggered Chloe's allergy.
24:42You even accused me
24:43of trying to kill Grandpa.
24:44Not once did you
24:46actually investigate it first.
24:47You just assumed
24:48I was worse than her
24:49because I grew up poor.
24:50The color slowly drained
24:51from Ethan's face.
24:52I'll make it up to you.
24:53How?
24:54He went silent.
24:56Mrs. Smith always says
24:57that if you break something
24:58of someone's,
24:58you either replace it
24:59or pay for it.
25:00But some things
25:01can't be replaced
25:01and some things
25:02don't have a price.
25:04So for now,
25:05you still owe me.
25:06After Grandpa woke up
25:07and learned the whole truth,
25:09he never asked me
25:09to forgive anyone.
25:10He only told his attorney
25:12to finish the share transfer
25:13as soon as possible.
25:14Susan, meanwhile,
25:15stayed outside
25:16his hospital room every day.
25:18She wanted to talk to me,
25:19but she never seemed
25:20brave enough
25:20to come too close.
25:22Emma,
25:23these are pictures
25:24from when I was pregnant
25:25with you.
25:30Every single thing
25:31had been prepared for me,
25:32but in the end,
25:33another child
25:34got to use them all.
25:39She took it,
25:40her voice trembling.
25:42Could you call me mom
25:43just once?
25:45Not yet.
25:50When I really want
25:51to call you that,
25:52I will.
25:52I didn't like lying,
25:53and I didn't know
25:54how to use a single word
25:55to pretend 18 missing years
25:57had never happened.
25:58After Chloe was taken
25:59into custody,
26:00more and more of what
26:01she had done in the past
26:02came to light.
26:03She had known
26:03since she was 16
26:04that she wasn't
26:05biologically related
26:06to the family.
26:07Back then,
26:08she secretly read
26:09the DNA test Grandpa
26:10had commissioned
26:10through a private agency,
26:12but instead of telling
26:13anyone the truth,
26:14she found Linda
26:14and asked her
26:15to track me down,
26:16not because she wanted
26:17to bring me home.
26:18She just wanted to make sure
26:19my life was miserable enough.
26:21On says she learned
26:22that I was living
26:22in a small town,
26:23that my adoptive father
26:25had passed away,
26:26and that my adoptive mother
26:27had been sick for years.
26:28She finally relaxed.
26:30Later,
26:30when Grandpa hired
26:31someone to investigate again,
26:33Chloe panicked
26:34that the truth
26:34might come out,
26:35so she deliberately deleted
26:36the emails
26:37from the search agency.
26:38If Grandma hadn't
26:39accidentally noticed
26:40something wrong
26:40in the old birth records,
26:42I might never have been found.
26:43I thought that was
26:44the end of Chloe's secrets.
26:45I was wrong.
26:49Chloe had left behind
26:51one more problem,
26:51and this one involved
26:53our company's money.
26:58That's an interesting dress,
26:59Emma.
26:59I looked down at it.
27:00What's interesting about it?
27:01She smiled.
27:02It's just very simple.
27:04You don't see many people
27:05wearing that style anymore.
27:07It wasn't cheap.
27:10How much was it?
27:12$18,000?
27:12I answered.
27:15Well, money isn't
27:16really the point.
27:17Some things,
27:18like class,
27:18can't be bought
27:19with a few expensive dresses.
27:21What does class mean?
27:23It's something
27:24you developed growing up.
27:25What exactly?
27:27She grew irritated.
27:30Things like piano,
27:31ballet,
27:32proper etiquette.
27:32Surely you learned
27:33at least one of those?
27:34I know how to wash dishes.
27:36The room went quiet.
27:38I can chop vegetables,
27:39keep the books,
27:40and check supplier invoice.
27:41I make a pretty decent
27:43smoked beef sandwich, too.
27:45The woman looked pleased
27:46with herself,
27:47like she had finally
27:48proven her point.
27:56This is wrong.
27:57The event manager blinked.
27:58Where?
28:01These three bottles of wine
28:02were charged twice,
28:04and the service fee
28:05is already included
28:06in the contract,
28:07so it shouldn't be added again.
28:09A few minutes later,
28:10he came back looking embarrassed.
28:12You're right.
28:13We overcharged you
28:14by $12,600.
28:16Everyone who had been
28:17laughing earlier
28:18went quiet.
28:23So can class tell
28:24when a bill is wrong?
28:33You really are
28:34a notebook freak.
28:41We found something
28:42involving Chloe.
28:43She set up a scholarship
28:44program for underprivileged kids
28:46in the name of charity,
28:46and a large amount of money
28:47appears to be missing.
28:53Who approved it?
28:55She never had the authority
28:57to move that kind of money.
28:59The finance employee
29:00hesitated.
29:01Well,
29:02you might want to
29:03look at this first.
29:04He handed Luke
29:05a stack of approval forms.
29:11Emma,
29:12come take a look
29:12at this with me.
29:18Over the past three years,
29:20the scholarship program
29:21had spent more than
29:22$20 million,
29:23but less than $3 million
29:25had actually reached
29:26the children it was
29:27supposed to help.
29:28The rest had been funneled
29:29to companies
29:30before ending up
29:32in Linda's account.
29:33Ethan's signature
29:34appeared on some
29:34of the approval forms too.
29:36He hadn't known
29:37the money was being stolen,
29:38but he had never bothered
29:39to read the paperwork carefully.
29:41Whenever Chloe brought him
29:42something to sign,
29:43she would pout and say,
29:46Luke immediately suspended
29:48Ethan from all of his duties.
29:50Then he ordered him
29:50to start over
29:51from an entry-level position
29:53at our company.
29:53You signed your name
29:55without even reading
29:55the documents.
29:57Today,
29:58you let Chloe move
29:59$20 million
30:00right under your nose.
30:02Tomorrow,
30:03you could destroy
30:04this entire company.
30:06Emma may take
30:06everything literally,
30:07but at least
30:08she checks the facts.
30:10You think you're smart,
30:11but you don't even understand
30:12the most basic thing
30:13about responsibility.
30:17Ethan didn't argue.
30:18The scholarship program
30:19involved a huge number
30:20of transactions.
30:21the finance team
30:22spent an entire day
30:24going through the records,
30:25but there was still
30:26more than $300,000
30:27that no one
30:28could account for.
30:33These were reimbursed twice.
30:39But the dates are different
30:40and the amounts
30:41aren't even the same.
30:44How did you notice?
30:48The receipt numbers
30:50are consecutive.
30:57Same restaurant,
30:58same receipt book,
31:00but they were submitted
31:01for reimbursement
31:02across seven different months.
31:07And the signatures
31:08all have the exact same
31:09slant and spacing.
31:11When I was little,
31:13I ate at Mrs. Smith's house
31:14every day.
31:15At first,
31:15she treated it like
31:16she was just setting out
31:17one extra plate,
31:18but I didn't think
31:19I should eat for free.
31:20So every time
31:20I had a meal there,
31:22I wrote it down
31:22in my notebook.
31:23Once I was old enough
31:24to wash dishes,
31:25I counted each load
31:26as $1.
31:27When I could help
31:28chop vegetables,
31:29I counted each crate
31:30as $3.
31:31Later,
31:31I started helping
31:32Mrs. Smith keep the books
31:33and check supplier
31:34invoices and receipts.
31:36Over 13 years,
31:37I filled 47 notebooks.
31:39Mrs. Smith always laughed
31:40and said that
31:40when she told me
31:41to come over
31:42for dinner sometime,
31:43she had only meant it
31:44as a polite invitation,
31:45but she never once
31:46told me to stop coming,
31:48and I never let
31:49a single entry
31:49in those books
31:50become unclear.
32:00Following the trail
32:01from those 17 receipts,
32:02our company uncovered
32:03a shell company
32:04called Lino E Dining.
32:06Lynn came from Linda OE,
32:07came from Chloe.
32:08That company had been used
32:09to funnel money
32:10out of the scholarship program.
32:12Once the police secured
32:13the evidence,
32:14the related accounts
32:14were frozen.
32:15When Chloe found out,
32:16she finally broke down
32:17completely.
32:29You already got your parents back!
32:32You got the shares, too!
32:36Why?
32:38Why can't you just
32:39leave me alone?
32:47I'm not the one refusing
32:49to let this go.
32:50The numbers still
32:51don't add up.
32:57We're still sisters.
33:00Do you really not care
33:01about me at all?
33:09We've known each other
33:10for less than two months.
33:12If I pay the money back,
33:14will you forgive me?
33:16You have to return the money
33:18because it was never yours.
33:19That has nothing to do
33:20with whether I forgive you.
33:22In the end,
33:23Chloe was held
33:24legally responsible
33:25for everything she had done,
33:27including assault,
33:28framing me,
33:28and helping steal money
33:30from the scholarship program.
33:31Linda also faced
33:32the consequences
33:33of her actions.
33:34During the case,
33:35neither grandpa nor grandma
33:36spoke up for Chloe.
33:38Susan went to see her once.
33:39When she came back,
33:40she sat in the car
33:41for a long time
33:42before coming inside.
33:44She asked me
33:45if the 18 years
33:46I raised her
33:46meant nothing.
33:47What did you say?
33:52The love I had
33:53for her was real,
33:55but so was
33:56the hurt she caused.
33:59It was the first
34:00honest thing
34:00she'd said
34:01since I came home.
34:02Feelings don't erase facts
34:03and tears don't undo
34:04the harm someone caused.
34:06Ethan cooperated fully
34:07with the investigation
34:08and used his own assets
34:10to cover the losses
34:11from the scholarship program.
34:12He wasn't criminally charged,
34:14but he stepped down
34:15from his management position
34:16at our company.
34:17After that,
34:18he really did start over
34:19from the bottom.
34:20Every document
34:21that crossed his desk,
34:22he read line by line.
34:23He never signed
34:24anything blindly again.
34:25As for me,
34:26I didn't join
34:27our company right away.
34:28The first thing
34:29I did after receiving
34:30my dividends
34:30was go back
34:31to the small town
34:32where I had spent
34:33the first 18 years
34:34of my life.
34:41I arrived
34:42Mrs. Smith's home.
34:43She was standing
34:43at the stove,
34:44slow cooking
34:45a pot of beef.
34:46So you finally
34:47remembered your way back.
34:51That smoked beef
34:52I ate for you
34:52last time
34:53nearly finished me.
34:55I set all 47
34:56of my old notebooks
34:57on the table.
34:59Mrs. Smith,
35:00I'm here to settle
35:01what I owe you
35:01for all those meals.
35:10You washed dishes
35:11for me for 13 years
35:12and kept my books
35:13for just as long?
35:15I never even paid you.
35:18So who owes who?
35:19That's still up for debate.
35:23It needs to be settled.
35:25It can't be.
35:27It can.
35:34Eat first.
35:35We'll argue
35:35about the math later.
35:37But this time,
35:38I suddenly realized
35:39that maybe not everything
35:41needed to be spelled
35:41out perfectly.
35:43When Mrs. Smith told me
35:44to come over for dinner,
35:45what she really meant
35:46was that she couldn't
35:47stand to see me go hungry.
35:48My adoptive parents
35:49told me
35:50they would always
35:51treat me like
35:51their own daughter.
35:52They kept that promise
35:53until the day they died.
35:55Grandma told me
35:56she would return
35:56what should have been mine
35:58and she did.
35:59Maybe I wasn't
36:00incapable of understanding
36:01what people meant.
36:02I just refused
36:03to take someone's cruelty
36:04and pretend it was kindness.
36:12Three years later,
36:13I officially joined
36:14Luke's company.
36:15I still wasn't good
36:16with pretty words
36:17and I still couldn't read
36:18all the hidden meanings
36:19people tucked into
36:20what they said.
36:21And I remembered
36:22every promise
36:23people made out loud.
36:24Some people said
36:24I was too literal
36:25to be good at business.
36:26Grandpa disagreed.
36:28He said the company
36:28needed more people like me.
36:30Five years after I joined,
36:31I took over
36:32the company's charity fund.
36:33By then,
36:34all the money Chloe had stolen
36:35had already been recovered
36:37and the children
36:38whose support
36:38had once been cut off
36:39were back in school.
36:41Ethan came to see me one day.
36:43They were the same tickets
36:44I had booked for him
36:45and Chloe
36:46when I first came home.
36:49Emma,
36:50back then,
36:51when I told you
36:52to kick me out too,
36:53why did you actually
36:54book the tickets?
36:56Because you told me to.
36:59He was quiet for a moment.
37:03Then what if I tell you
37:04now that I want a chance
37:05to be your brother?
37:05I looked at him
37:06for a while.
37:07You can try.
37:08His eyes immediately lit up.
37:13But whether you're
37:14any good at it
37:14depends on what you do
37:15from now on.
37:18He gave a bitter
37:19little smile and nodded.
37:22Fair enough.
37:23Susan, meanwhile,
37:24waited for five full years.
37:33That Christmas,
37:34I went home for dinner.
37:36Every single dish
37:37was something
37:37she had asked me about
37:38beforehand
37:39just to make sure
37:40I would actually like it.
37:41She even remembered
37:42which foods
37:43I didn't like too salty
37:44and which ones
37:45I preferred without sauce.
37:46During dinner,
37:47she barely touched
37:48her own food.
37:49She kept watching me
37:50quietly,
37:50as if making sure
37:51I was comfortable.
37:56This time,
37:57she didn't ask me
37:58to call her mom.
37:59She didn't ask
38:00whether I had
38:00forgiven her either.
38:13Mom, it's cold out here.
38:15Go back inside.
38:21This time,
38:22she didn't hug me.
38:23She didn't rush over
38:24or ask me to say it again.
38:37Okay.
38:39I understand.
38:41All these years,
38:42I had never turned it off.
38:43It had captured people's lies,
38:45cruelty,
38:46and hidden intentions.
38:47It had also helped
38:48prove my innocence
38:49when no one believed me.
38:50For a long time,
38:51I thought every important word
38:52needed evidence.
38:53Every promise needed
38:54to be recorded.
38:55Every sentence needed proof.
39:01Some promises
39:02need to be recorded.
39:03Some things are real enough
39:04that you don't need proof.
39:05End of season one.
