Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name was Elena Reed. No, I should have said Elena Harper.
00:00:04But for 23 years, I believed I was a Reed.
00:00:09Today, they finally found the excuse to kick me out of the house.
00:00:13Elena, our family has given you everything for 23 years, and this is how you repay us?
00:00:17You ungrateful brat! Pack your things and go back to that run-down village to find your real parents!
00:00:23Just moments ago, Sylvia deliberately shattered a glass, cut her own hand with the shards.
00:00:32And ran downstairs, crying.
00:00:36Claiming that I had pushed her and tried to ruin her face.
00:00:42Mom, don't be mad. I'm sure Elena didn't mean any harm.
00:00:48She's just struggling to accept that your love and dad's belong to me now.
00:00:53Please don't hold it against her.
00:00:55Her words sounded like she was pleading for me, but every sentence only made me look guiltier.
00:01:00No one asked me the truth.
00:01:02To think you'd be capable of such cruelty, trying to scar Sylvia's face.
00:01:06With a heart as wicked as yours, you don't deserve to stay in Foykland.
00:01:09I've already sent for your real parents.
00:01:11Pack your things and prepare to return to Cloudtream Village.
00:01:15Elena, next month is Darren and my engagement party.
00:01:19Even though you'll be going back to that remote village, I still hope you'll come.
00:01:23Darren had been my fiancé, but he had abandoned me.
00:01:29It's shocking that you want a garbage like him.
00:01:31If you want him, he's yours.
00:01:34Sylvia was speechless with rage.
00:01:36I turned and went upstairs, without looking back.
00:01:40I had no attachment to that family.
00:01:44By the time I came downstairs, Sylvia's hand, the one she had cut with the glass shards,
00:01:49was already neatly wrapped in bandages.
00:01:51Elena, I'll miss you.
00:01:53Sylvia said it hypocritically, then deliberately bumped into me.
00:01:57A necklace fell to the floor.
00:02:05Isn't this the necklace my mom gave me?
00:02:07How did it end up in your bag?
00:02:09Sylvia picked up the necklace and began accusing me of being a thief.
00:02:12You filthy thief!
00:02:14Do you know what this is?
00:02:15This had been designed by the world-famous Helena Walsh.
00:02:18I paid five million for it.
00:02:19I'm calling the police.
00:02:21What do you have to say for yourself?
00:02:23Call the police if you like.
00:02:25But if I didn't steal the necklace, how do you plan to make it up to me?
00:02:29Elena, don't be so stubborn.
00:02:30We only have one of Walsh's designs in our family.
00:02:34Sylvia handed the necklace to Cicely.
00:02:37Cicely looked at the number on it and froze.
00:02:40This, how could this be?
00:02:42I clearly bought number nine, so why does this say number one?
00:02:46Number one?
00:02:47That can't be.
00:02:48It's one of a kind in this world.
00:02:52I snatched the necklace back from them and walked out the door.
00:02:56Outside, an old, dust-covered van was parked at the entrance.
00:03:01Miss Harper, I sincerely apologize for my tardiness.
00:03:06I hadn't anticipated that there wouldn't be a helipath here.
00:03:10The helicopter had to be stationed farther away.
00:03:13To avoid further delays, I arranged for this vehicle instead.
00:03:19It hadn't been used in some time, so it may appear a little worn.
00:03:23I hope you don't mind.
00:03:25Only then did I take a closer look.
00:03:27This wasn't just any old van.
00:03:29It was a Maybach.
00:03:31An extremely rare, limited edition.
00:03:38Did you drag this junk out of a scrapyard?
00:03:46Declan took a box from the van and handed it to Cecily as a thank you gift for taking care
00:03:50of me over the years.
00:03:53But she refused.
00:03:54That won't be necessary.
00:03:56You may leave.
00:03:57Mr. Reed, are you certain?
00:04:00What good stuff could a hick from the strips possibly have?
00:04:03Just get out of here.
00:04:08They didn't know that inside the box were deeds to 23 properties.
00:04:1323 high-end jewelry pieces.
00:04:1623 luxury car keys and a bank card with a balance of 230 million.
00:04:22The helicopter touched down.
00:04:24The sight of Hillside Manor before me made one thing instantly clear.
00:04:29My biological parents were never poor farmers.
00:04:35Elena, my daughter.
00:04:37I finally found you.
00:04:41Jolie Harper hugged me with tears in her eyes.
00:04:44Her embrace was warm, completely different from Cecily's coldness.
00:04:51Here's 10 million, a gift for you.
00:04:54I'm giving you 10 million too.
00:04:58And this emerald jewelry set.
00:05:01Also for you.
00:05:02Only then did I learn who my biological parents,
00:05:05Alexander, and Jolie, really were.
00:05:08One was the head of the Harper group.
00:05:10The other a woman of refined upbringing.
00:05:17You also have three brothers.
00:05:20Jeffrey, Ellis, and Louis.
00:05:23They all want to meet you.
00:05:29I was led inside the manor.
00:05:33The dining table was filled with fine cuisine.
00:05:37Jolie kept adding food to my plate.
00:05:39Eat a little more.
00:05:41You're too thin.
00:05:42Her eyes were filled with 23 years of pent-up guilt.
00:05:46For the first time, I understood what a mother's love felt like.
00:05:57Cecily had never given me this kind of warmth.
00:06:04This family belonged to a world the Reeds could never dream of entering.
00:06:12To make it up to me,
00:06:14Jolie took me to the Helena Jewelry Flagship Store to pick out accessories.
00:06:21But what I didn't expect was that we ran into Cecily and Sylvia by chance.
00:06:28The cheapest piece here costs at least a million.
00:06:31Can you even afford that?
00:06:33If you two can be here, why can't I?
00:06:37Sylvia suddenly snatched the ruby pendant from my hand and dropped it onto the floor.
00:06:46Elena, how could you be so clumsy?
00:06:49You couldn't even hold on to something so valuable!
00:06:55This pendant is 50 million.
00:06:58What?
00:07:00Elena, looks like you'll be paying off this pendant for the rest of your life.
00:07:04I didn't rush to argue.
00:07:08Instead, I had the clerk pull the surveillance footage.
00:07:17Cecily was stunned.
00:07:18They had to buy that extraordinarily priced pendant.
00:07:24Insufficient funds.
00:07:25But they didn't have the money.
00:07:27Elena, you scheming bitch!
00:07:30You planned this to humiliate us!
00:07:34That's how you treat my daughter?
00:07:36The collaboration between the Harper family and the Reed family is hereby terminated.
00:07:42Who do you think you are?
00:07:43Are you paying or not?
00:07:45You can't afford it?
00:07:47Of course we can!
00:07:50She had to call Darren, Sylvia's fiancé, for help.
00:07:55And they left in embarrassment.
00:07:59The next day, Benjamin and Cecily showed up at the entrance of Hillside Manor.
00:08:04When Cecily saw me walking out, she thought I was working as a maid.
00:08:09So you're working as a maid for the Harper family now?
00:08:11Better drop your little habit of stealing.
00:08:13When Benjamin and Cecily saw my father, Alexander, they immediately put on flattering smiles and approached him.
00:08:21Mr. Harper, our partnership can't be terminated!
00:08:24Elena's real father is just a driver, and her mother is from some backwater town.
00:08:28She's nothing but a liar!
00:08:29Don't let her fool you into thinking badly of us!
00:08:31Alexander's and Jolie's faces changed at the same time.
00:08:35Cecily had just insulted them to their faces.
00:08:38As of today, the Harper family cuts all ties with the Reed family.
00:08:45Benjamin and Cecily were stunned.
00:08:47They had no idea what they had done wrong.
00:08:49They were escorted out by security.
00:08:58Cecily was still cursing.
00:09:00She still had no idea who she was dealing with.
00:09:03After they were driven away, my eldest brother Jeffrey came home by car.
00:09:08And happened to see me still using an old phone.
00:09:11You must be my sister, right?
00:09:13I haven't brought a gift, so let me give you some pocket money.
00:09:16Is a million enough?
00:09:17Jeffrey thought I was so poor.
00:09:19I couldn't even afford a smartphone.
00:09:22Scan here.
00:09:25I pulled out the latest smartphone and showed him the QR code.
00:09:29A deep, quiet chuckle came from inside the car.
00:09:33You tricked me?
00:09:34Jeffrey realized he had been tricked.
00:09:36But instead of getting mad, he laughed.
00:09:39The man in the car, Wesley Spencer, saw me for the first time.
00:09:44I'll be leaving now.
00:09:44Until next time.
00:09:45Wesley said goodbye to Jeffrey and left.
00:09:54I never got a clear look at that man's face.
00:09:57That day, my grandma Bertha was discharged from the hospital.
00:10:03The whole family gathered together.
00:10:06My cousin, Javier, gave Bertha a painting.
00:10:15I leaned in to take a closer look.
00:10:19What do you know about art?
00:10:21You're just pretending.
00:10:23Elena, it's okay if you don't understand.
00:10:25No one will laugh at you.
00:10:27Elise was my parents' adopted daughter.
00:10:30She sounded like she was defending me, but her words were dripping with sarcasm.
00:10:38This painting is a forgery.
00:10:42Peyton's authentic works have a lotus pattern in the lower left corner.
00:10:46When exposed to fire, it appears.
00:10:50What makes you so sure?
00:10:55My daughter wouldn't speak carelessly.
00:10:58Just give it a try.
00:10:59If any damage occurs, I'll take full responsibility.
00:11:02No way!
00:11:04I went through so much trouble to find this painting!
00:11:07There's no way I'm letting you burn it!
00:11:09The authentic piece is at the Spencer family's home.
00:11:12Borrow it and compare.
00:11:14Then you'll know.
00:11:16She's just trying to save face, isn't she?
00:11:19Elise thought I would lose.
00:11:20She was wrong.
00:11:23Wesley, can we borrow that painting from your collection?
00:11:25Let Elena come and get it herself.
00:11:28Jeffrey called Wesley to borrow the painting.
00:11:30But Wesley made a condition.
00:11:32He wanted me to come get it myself.
00:11:34I went to the Spenceran estate.
00:11:43For the first time, I saw Wesley Spencer.
00:11:46Chiseled features, deep eyes, an undeniable commanding presence.
00:11:50Do you know Elle?
00:11:53Who is Elle?
00:11:54He suddenly asked if I knew Elle.
00:11:55I didn't change my expression.
00:11:57But I knew he was testing me.
00:12:00Why would Wesley suspect me?
00:12:04What connection between me and Elle had he discovered?
00:12:08The painting is on the first floor.
00:12:11You may leave now.
00:12:15I didn't ask any more questions.
00:12:18I took the painting and left.
00:12:29But I knew this was only the beginning.
00:12:40He would keep testing me.
00:12:43I brought back the authentic painting from the Spencer family.
00:12:47The two paintings were displayed side by side.
00:12:55The flame approached.
00:12:57A beautiful lotus pattern appeared on the authentic piece.
00:13:02Everyone stared in shock at the lotus pattern appearing on the painting.
00:13:08Pavier's face darkened.
00:13:10There really is a lotus pattern.
00:13:12How could the painting I found be a fake?
00:13:16You dared to fool me with a forgery?
00:13:20Bertha tore up the forgery and shouted at Javier.
00:13:23Javier's face was darkened.
00:13:25His eyes were fixed on me with malice.
00:13:28This is my fault, but I didn't mean to.
00:13:31Javier gave me a vicious glare.
00:13:34Elena!
00:13:35You're not even a Harper!
00:13:37You're not part of the Harper family yet!
00:13:39You!
00:13:39Javier wanted to say more, but Alexander cut him off.
00:13:46Who says she's not a Harper?
00:13:50In three days, I will hold a banquet to officially welcome Elena back.
00:13:55From now on, she will be Elena Harper.
00:14:08The day of the banquet arrived.
00:14:10I walked into the banquet hall in a white dress.
00:14:21Everyone's eyes were on me.
00:14:23I knew, from that day on, I was Elena Harper.
00:14:31Ladies and gentlemen, I have transferred 5% of Harper Group shares to Elena.
00:14:40Five percent?
00:14:42That's an astronomical amount!
00:14:49Alexander is truly generous to this daughter.
00:14:53Ailisa stood in the corner, her nails digging into her palms.
00:14:58She couldn't understand why the shares went to me, an outsider who just came back, when the Harper family had
00:15:04raised her for over 20 years.
00:15:14Debbie had just raised her glass when a girl accidentally walked by and bumped into her arm.
00:15:21The wine splashed all over Debbie's own face.
00:15:25Her makeup was a mess.
00:15:26She looked utterly ridiculous.
00:15:37That girl looked back at me, nodded slightly, and then disappeared into the crowd.
00:15:42Only later did I learn her name, Kira Johnson, the youngest daughter of the Johnson family.
00:15:49A girl who couldn't speak nor hear.
00:15:54In the crowd, my eyes met the eyes of a man on the second floor.
00:15:58It was Wesley.
00:16:00He was watching me too.
00:16:06At the peak of the banquet, Wesley made an unexpected appearance.
00:16:11Isn't that Wesley?
00:16:13He never comes to these events.
00:16:14What is he doing here?
00:16:17What is he doing here?
00:16:18What is he doing here?
00:16:22This man, who never attended social events, walked straight towards me.
00:16:28This is for you.
00:16:33He handed me a velvet box.
00:16:36I opened it.
00:16:37Inside was an extremely rare pigeon blood ruby.
00:16:40A one-of-a-kind piece from the Spencer family's mine.
00:16:43Someone had offered billions for it, but he never sold it.
00:16:49Oh my god, is that the legendary pigeon blood ruby?
00:16:53Wesley gave it away?
00:16:54Is he insane?
00:16:55Elise was mad with jealousy.
00:17:01She deliberately went up to him and reached out to take his arm.
00:17:05Wesley, it's been so long.
00:17:08Do you remember me?
00:17:10I don't know you.
00:17:15Wesley took off the jacket that Ellis had touched and threw it away.
00:17:20Elise was humiliated.
00:17:25She ran away crying.
00:17:28Alexander watched the scene lost in thought.
00:17:34After the banquet, Elise went to Bertha, crying.
00:17:38Grandma, Elena bullied me.
00:17:41She deliberately humiliated me in front of everyone.
00:17:44Alexander gave 5% of the shares to Elena, but Elise got nothing.
00:17:48Is that fair?
00:17:49My aunt, Samira, took the chance to stir up trouble.
00:17:58Bertha was so angry that she had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
00:18:04Alexander, I'm just saying, why not let Vince be the CEO?
00:18:09Vince was Samira's husband.
00:18:11Alexander looked coldly at Samira.
00:18:14He finally saw these people for who they really were.
00:18:18You'd better pray my mother is okay.
00:18:20If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible.
00:18:25I was just...
00:18:26Samira's face turned ashen.
00:18:29She couldn't say a word.
00:18:31For the first time, she was truly afraid.
00:18:35The patient's blood worths have rupturedly.
00:18:37Her life is in danger.
00:18:38Unless the legendary Dr. Healer appears, there's nothing we can do.
00:18:42What do you mean nothing you can do?
00:18:44Aren't you doctors?
00:18:47Grandma is going to be okay, right?
00:18:52Everyone had given up hope.
00:18:55I stepped forward.
00:18:59I can save her.
00:19:01You?
00:19:02Don't be ridiculous.
00:19:05What do you know about medicine?
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:08Don't make things worse.
00:19:10Miss, this is no joke.
00:19:15Elena, are you sure you can do this?
00:19:18Father, there's no other choice.
00:19:21Let me try.
00:19:23Let her try.
00:19:25If my mother doesn't wake up, I will resign as CEO.
00:19:32Alexander chose to believe in me.
00:19:37I took out the silver needles.
00:19:39The vice hospital director, Phil Benton, immediately recognized them.
00:19:43This is Healer's silver needles.
00:19:46You are Healer's apprentice.
00:19:48This is Healer's silver needles.
00:19:52This is Healer's silver needles.
00:19:56This is Healer's silver needles.
00:20:00This is Healer's silver needles.
00:20:0120 minutes later, Bertha coughed up the pooled blood and was out of danger.
00:20:11Grandma is awake!
00:20:14The whole room fell silent.
00:20:17These silver needles are Healer's trademark.
00:20:20You are Healer's apprentice.
00:20:22My heart skipped a bait.
00:20:23My mentor only took me in six years ago, but Healer had died ten years ago.
00:20:28They were not the same person.
00:20:30I don't know anything about any Healer.
00:20:33Impossible!
00:20:34These silver needles belong only to Healer!
00:20:36I denied it firmly.
00:20:38No one believed me, but no one asked further.
00:20:46Elena, thank you for saving me.
00:20:49After Bertha woke up, her attitude toward me became noticeably warmer.
00:20:54Ellie stood at the hospital room door, watching this scene, grinding her teeth with hatred.
00:21:00Why does she get all the attention every time?
00:21:02After Bertha's condition stabilized, Alexander and Jolie reviewed the whole incident.
00:21:13It was Elise who went crying to Bertha, and Samira who stirred up trouble.
00:21:20That's what caused Bertha's heart attack.
00:21:28I raised you for over 20 years, but you nearly caused Bertha's death just for some shares.
00:21:35This time, I will not forgive you.
00:21:42Jolie, I didn't mean to.
00:21:46I was just so upset.
00:21:49Elise kept crying to Jolie, trying to win her forgiveness.
00:21:55Pack your things.
00:21:57Move out.
00:21:58You stay away from my mother.
00:22:02Elise was kicked out of Alexander's house, and moved next door to Vince's.
00:22:13As she passed me, she glared at me fiercely.
00:22:17Don't get too cocky.
00:22:19Soon, you'll be the one getting kicked out.
00:22:25I'll be waiting.
00:22:32Samira's face was ashen.
00:22:34She had just been put in her place in front of Bertha, and now Elise was kicked out, too.
00:22:41That day, Bertha called everyone together and made a big announcement.
00:22:49I want to give the jewelry company Leopard X to Elena.
00:22:55Grandma, I studied jewelry design.
00:22:58Why should she get it?
00:22:59Exactly.
00:23:01Elise is a professional.
00:23:03Elena didn't even go to college, did she?
00:23:07When Elise and Samira heard this, they immediately became anxious.
00:23:12I earned my PhD from Imperial University when I was 23.
00:23:16What?
00:23:21They hadn't expected that not only had I gone to college, but I had also earned a doctorate.
00:23:27Fair competition.
00:23:29Whoever secures the Spencer Group's partnership gets Leopard X.
00:23:35Elise smirked.
00:23:36She thought she had the upper hand.
00:23:41Fine.
00:23:42I'll make Wesley give me the partnership.
00:23:43I knew very well.
00:23:45Wesley hated being pestered by women.
00:23:47Elise's so-called knowing him was nothing but wishful thinking.
00:23:51Elise, Anne, and I started at Leopard X on the same day.
00:23:55The person in charge, Paige, received us.
00:24:00Miss Elise Harper, here is your private office.
00:24:11You?
00:24:13Sit on that bench in the corner.
00:24:16She settled Elise into a private office, then pointed to the bench in the corner that everyone looked down on.
00:24:23Why don't I have an office?
00:24:27Paige couldn't help but snigger.
00:24:30What do you have to compete with Elise?
00:24:33She's a daughter of the Harper family.
00:24:39I am also a daughter of the Harper family.
00:24:46You?
00:24:50Just then, Monica walked in from outside.
00:24:54The moment she saw me, she hurried over.
00:24:59Darling!
00:25:00What are you doing here?
00:25:06Mrs. Hayes?
00:25:07Seeing how familiar Monica was with me, Paige was stunned
00:25:15Elise's expression shifted slightly
00:25:17She couldn't understand how Monica knew me
00:25:20No one knew that Monica was 10th place in the International Jewelry Design Competition
00:25:26Seven years ago
00:25:28And first place was Helena
00:25:30That is, me
00:25:33Monica had always admired me
00:25:35Over the years, she had carefully maintained this friendship
00:25:38Give this office to Elena
00:25:40The one across from mine
00:25:42But that was reserved for Miss Elise Harper
00:25:45Elise can take a regular desk
00:25:48Is there a problem?
00:25:53No
00:25:53She gave me the private office that was originally reserved for Elise
00:25:57The one across from hers
00:25:58Bigger
00:25:59With a better view
00:26:02Why?
00:26:04Because I'm in charge here
00:26:06Is that reason enough?
00:26:10Elise watched all this through gritted teeth
00:26:12Her hatred deepening
00:26:14This office, once I secure the contract
00:26:18I'll take it back sooner or later
00:26:20And when I do
00:26:21You'd better get the hell out
00:26:26In response to her harsh words
00:26:29I just smiled faintly
00:26:31She finally realized
00:26:33Elena was not someone she could easily tremple
00:26:39Design department manager Ruby Lopez couldn't stand me
00:26:43She caused trouble for me at every turn
00:26:50Move!
00:26:51You're blocking the elevator
00:26:54You were the last one in
00:26:55The elevator is overloaded
00:26:58You should be the one to get off
00:27:02You?
00:27:07I knew she was deliberately trying to make things difficult for me
00:27:10But I wasn't going to give in
00:27:14I heard you got in through connections
00:27:16No wonder you don't know anything
00:27:18How many years has Leopard X gone without a hit piece?
00:27:21If I start designing, you'll be completely outdone by me
00:27:24If you can design a hit piece, I'll resign
00:27:27If you lose, you'll apologize publicly and leave the company
00:27:30Remember what you said?
00:27:35Ruby dismissed me with contempt
00:27:36She was convinced that a woman who got in through connections had no design talent
00:27:41She didn't know that the person she was facing was Helena herself
00:27:45To take over the company, I needed to secure the Spencer Group partnership
00:27:50But Wesley's whereabouts were a mystery
00:27:56I had to call Jeffrey to ask for Wesley's address
00:28:01What do you need him for?
00:28:03Work related
00:28:04Grandma is having Elise and me compete for Leopard X
00:28:08Whoever secures Spencer Group's partnership wins
00:28:15Imperial Club
00:28:16Just use my name
00:28:23I arrived at Imperial Club
00:28:26As soon as I entered the lobby
00:28:28I saw that Elise had already gotten there ahead of me
00:28:32I'm Jeffrey Harper's family
00:28:33Of course, Miss Harper
00:28:35This way, please
00:28:36She claimed to be Jeffrey's family and got in effortlessly
00:28:39Hey gorgeous
00:28:40Here alone?
00:28:41Call me honey and I'll take you inside
00:28:43This place isn't for just anyone
00:28:47Unfazed
00:28:47I walked to the front desk and slowly pulled out a black card from my bag
00:28:53The receptionist took the black card and examined it carefully
00:28:56Her face changed dramatically
00:28:59You're a black card holder?
00:29:01Please, come with me
00:29:02I'll show you the way
00:29:03This was one of only a few black cards in the world at Imperial Club
00:29:08In Clytay, only Wesley had one
00:29:11Bee black card?
00:29:12No way!
00:29:13Did I just say something stupid?
00:29:15You don't think she'll hold a grudge, do you?
00:29:18The rich guys who had mocked me shut up instantly
00:29:21The one who said, call me honey and I'll take you inside
00:29:24Turned pale
00:29:25I went up to the top floor billiards room
00:29:28Wesley was lazily smoking a cigarette
00:29:31His long legs casually crossed
00:29:34Radiating a do not approach aura
00:29:37Wesley, this is Leopard X's proposal
00:29:40We're willing to give up all profits
00:29:42Just to have a counter in the duty free zone
00:29:44Ellie's confidently handed over the proposal
00:29:46Believing she had offered an irresistible deal
00:29:49But Wesley didn't even glance at her
00:29:51His eyes were fixed on me
00:29:59I picked up a cue stick and walked toward Wesley
00:30:03Let's play a game
00:30:04The loser grants the winner one request
00:30:07Fine
00:30:08Wesley put out his cigarette and stood up
00:30:10Ellie smirked to herself
00:30:12She probably thought I was asking for humiliation
00:30:15Wesley has never lost
00:30:17She's digging her own grave
00:30:19If you lose, I want to see L
00:30:22My heart tightened
00:30:24He was still suspicious of me
00:30:25He had never given up on finding L's true identity
00:30:30If I win
00:30:32Spencer group gives the duty free counter to Leopard X
00:30:36Deal
00:30:39You break
00:30:49I lean down
00:30:51Aimed and struck
00:30:55The balls scattered
00:30:57Four dropped into pockets
00:31:01Four on the break?
00:31:03How is that possible?
00:31:08Who is she?
00:31:11The whole room gasped
00:31:13Ellie's smile frozen on her face
00:31:18I calculated every angle with precision
00:31:21The balls dropped into the pockets one by one
00:31:25She sunk another one!
00:31:27That's five!
00:31:28Wesley hasn't even had a turn
00:31:30I've never seen anyone dominate Wesley like this
00:31:33Elise's hands were clenched white
00:31:35She had expected Wesley to crush me
00:31:38But now the tables had completely turned
00:31:42The last ball dropped
00:31:44Wesley never got a chance to play
00:31:46He lost
00:31:49I win
00:31:51Yeah
00:31:52He said only one word
00:31:53Flatly
00:31:54But I could see something different in his eyes
00:31:56Not anger
00:31:57But appreciation
00:31:58I'll bring the formal proposal tomorrow
00:32:00To sign the contract
00:32:02Elise's face looked terrible
00:32:03That give up all profits proposal
00:32:06She had just presented
00:32:07Was now a complete joke
00:32:08What made her even more miserable
00:32:11Was that Wesley had never once looked at her properly
00:32:13Early the next morning
00:32:15Before the sun was fully up
00:32:17Elise took her employee Christy
00:32:19And rushed to Spencer group
00:32:26I'm here to sign the contract
00:32:28Where is Wesley?
00:32:30Wesley's assistant, Felix, received her
00:32:34Please follow me
00:32:35Mr. Spencer is waiting in his office
00:32:42Felix brought them into the office
00:32:46Elise thought victory was in her grass
00:32:50Wesley
00:32:50Wesley
00:32:51I'm here to sign the contract
00:32:52Here are Leopard X's official documents
00:32:58Who told you to come?
00:33:00I isn't
00:33:01Isn't it about signing the contract?
00:33:03Didn't we agree yesterday?
00:33:05I'm waiting for Elena
00:33:08Not you
00:33:10Get out
00:33:12Whether it's me or Elena
00:33:14We both represent Leopard X
00:33:16It's the same whoever you sign with
00:33:25Felix
00:33:26Show them out
00:33:32Elise was kicked out
00:33:33Completely humiliated
00:33:35I signed the contract
00:33:36And returned to Leopard X
00:33:38As I pushed open the office door
00:33:40I saw Ruby heaving by her workstation
00:33:45Arms crossed wearing an expression
00:33:47That said she was waiting to see me fail
00:33:50You didn't get the contract, did you?
00:33:52I knew it
00:33:54What could a woman like you
00:33:55Who only got in through connections
00:33:57Possibly accomplish?
00:34:03What do you think this is?
00:34:05Unfazed
00:34:06I opened my phone and showed Ruby a photo
00:34:09How do you have this photo?
00:34:11The photo showed Ruby with a middle-aged man
00:34:14Her sugar daddy
00:34:19A married man
00:34:20Who owned a glass flanctory
00:34:24Give me that phone
00:34:26Ruby turned pale and lunged to grab my phone
00:34:29I sidestepped
00:34:30And she missed
00:34:33Just then
00:34:34The man's wife burst in
00:34:36You homewrecker
00:34:38How dare you seduce my husband
00:34:39I'm gonna tear that face of yours apart
00:34:51The wife from the photo burst into the office
00:34:53Fist and publicly beat Ruby
00:34:55The whole office was in chaos
00:34:57I watched it all calmly
00:34:58If you come after me
00:35:00Be prepared to face the consequences
00:35:01The day of the jewelry exhibition
00:35:04The entire hall was brightly lit
00:35:07Clath's elite and dignitaries gathered together
00:35:14My bracelet design debuted as the finale piece
00:35:17The moment it appeared
00:35:19It stunned the entire audience
00:35:21Oh my god, who designed this?
00:35:24It's gorgeous
00:35:24Leopard X making a comeback this year
00:35:26This design is incredible
00:35:27I've never seen such an inspired piece
00:35:32My piece was undoubtedly the centerpiece
00:35:35Everyone was asking who the designer was
00:35:40At the celebration banquet
00:35:42Just as everyone raised their glasses
00:35:45Elise suddenly walked onto the stage crying
00:35:51My design sketches are missing
00:35:54The piece Alina showed
00:35:56Is exactly the same as the one I lost
00:35:58She stole my design
00:36:00The whole room was in an uproar
00:36:03Whispered accusations flooded in
00:36:05Like a tidal wave
00:36:07All pointing at me
00:36:11Elena
00:36:12Admit your mistake
00:36:14Don't make this ugly for everyone
00:36:19I stood on the stage
00:36:23Watching their annex without any expression
00:36:32You say this is your design?
00:36:35Yes!
00:36:36It's mine!
00:36:37You stole my sketches!
00:36:42Then tell me
00:36:43Which section is the hidden clasp on?
00:36:53Section 2
00:36:56Are you sure?
00:36:58At my question
00:36:59Elise was clearly panicking
00:37:05Section 3!
00:37:06It's section 3!
00:37:08I was just too nervous and said it wrong!
00:37:10I raised the bracelet and showed it to everyone
00:37:13Under the lights
00:37:14Every detail of the bracelet was clearly visible
00:37:18This design has no hidden clasp at all
00:37:21Would a real designer not know whether their own work has one?
00:37:27She's right!
00:37:28There's no hidden clasp on the bracelet at all!
00:37:30I just looked!
00:37:31Carefully!
00:37:33Then what's this about Ely losing her sketches?
00:37:36Is she trying to frame Elena?
00:37:39Elise's face turned pale
00:37:41She couldn't utter a single word
00:37:43Tears still hung on her face
00:37:45But no one felt sorry for her anymore
00:37:50Elena is the real daughter of the Harper family!
00:37:52Didn't any of you know?
00:37:53In the heat of the argument
00:37:54Monica blurted it out
00:37:56The whole room fell into dead silence
00:37:58What?
00:37:59Elena is the real daughter of the Harper family?
00:38:01Then what about Ellis?
00:38:03She's always been saying she's a daughter of the Harper family
00:38:06I've never heard Elena mention it
00:38:08But Elise tells everyone she's a Harper
00:38:12All the colleagues had thought Elise was the real Harper daughter
00:38:16And I was just a connection higher
00:38:18Now the truth came out
00:38:21Alice was only an adopted daughter
00:38:23Even more awkward was that Elise had always hinted
00:38:26That she was the Harper family's daughter
00:38:27And had never corrected anyone's misunderstanding
00:38:32Please stop
00:38:33Elise bit her lip and ran out of the banquet crying
00:38:37Samira's face was livid
00:38:39The next day, news exploded everywhere
00:38:42Leopard Tech's rising designer Elena Harpent
00:38:45Suspected of plagiaring Elena Walsh's classic work
00:38:48Side-by-side comparison images showed that my bracelet
00:38:52Looked strikingly similar to Elena's iconic piece
00:38:54The angles, lines, even the curves of the details matched
00:39:10The comments were all insults
00:39:12My name became the target of an online backlash overnight
00:39:17Let's see how you get out of this one
00:39:19Once the plagiar of accusation sticks
00:39:22You'll never work in the jewelry industry again
00:39:26Samira was gloating
00:39:34Just then, two vice presidents of the Jewelry Design Association arrived in person
00:39:43You're here to hold Elena accountable, right?
00:39:47This has nothing to do with Leopard X
00:39:49She's already been fired
00:39:51If you want to blame someone, blame her alone
00:39:58Firing Elena?
00:39:59Is Leopard X serious?
00:40:04Elena?
00:40:06What are you talking about?
00:40:11Ms. Walsh
00:40:13The president position of the Design Association has been vacant for years
00:40:17Reserved only for you
00:40:19When would it be convenient for you to take office?
00:40:24I'll consider it
00:40:28Samira was completely stunned
00:40:30Never had she expected that the country girl she had always looked down on
00:40:34Was actually the world's top jewelry designer
00:40:36Elena Walsh herself
00:40:40Oh my god!
00:40:41Elena is Elena?
00:40:43That mysterious genius designer?
00:40:46We were gossiping behind her back about how she got in through connections
00:40:49This is so embarrassing
00:40:52The news spread
00:40:53Within hours, the entire internet reversed its stance
00:40:57Everyone who had called me a plagiarist was now apologizing
00:41:02Elise saw the news and smashed the glass in her hand
00:41:09Her face was even paler than the paper
00:41:12Helena?
00:41:14How could she possibly be Helena?
00:41:17I didn't pay attention to the online news
00:41:19At that moment, I was on my way to the Johnson family's home
00:41:26The girl who had helped me at the recognition banquet was waiting for me
00:41:31A week ago, her brother Malcolm had come to me after hearing that I had saved Bertha
00:41:35He begged me to save his sister
00:41:39Today was the follow-up visit
00:41:40On my way to the Johnson's house, Kira suddenly rushed out and bumped into me
00:41:46Oh!
00:41:47She was covered in bruises and wounds
00:41:49Frantically signing with her hands hiding behind me
00:41:55Kira signed
00:42:00Help me
00:42:01They want to take my kidney
00:42:03Kira!
00:42:04Get back here!
00:42:06Rory is still waiting for your kidney
00:42:08Don't you run away!
00:42:12She's not going with you
00:42:17Who do you think you are?
00:42:19Mind your own business
00:42:20This is a family matter
00:42:22I stepped in front of Kira, protecting her
00:42:27The girl had helped me at the recognition banquet
00:42:30This time, it was my turn to help her
00:42:35While Ethel wasn't looking, I secretly texted Malcolm
00:42:44I'm her aunt
00:42:45It's only right that I take her home
00:42:47Stay out of this, outsider
00:42:53Malcolm arrived quickly
00:43:06We went to Ethel's house and found the hidden doctor
00:43:13I was just doing a routine examination
00:43:17A routine examination?
00:43:20Then tell me, which kidney were you planning to take from Kira?
00:43:25Ethel, have you lost your mind?
00:43:28Kira is my sister!
00:43:31How dare you!
00:43:36I raised her for so many years
00:43:39What's wrong with her giving Rory one kidney?
00:43:42Isn't that only fair?
00:43:43Rory was Kira's cousin
00:43:45Suffering from severe kidney disease
00:43:48Kira curled up next to me like a wounded puppy
00:43:51Trembling all over
00:43:53She held my hand tightly
00:43:55Her nails almost digging into my skin
00:43:59Malcolm called the police on the spot
00:44:01And cut off Ethel's financial support
00:44:04Ethel's scheme was completely exposed
00:44:08Kira was taken to the Johnson family home
00:44:10Malcolm personally took care of her
00:44:12But the trauma in her heart hurt much worse than those physical ones
00:44:15Tests showed that Kira's hearing and vocal organs were intact
00:44:18Her inability to speak or hear was completely psychological
00:44:21Trauma caused by years of abuse and fear
00:44:23Can she be cured?
00:44:25Yes
00:44:25But it will take time
00:44:27I'll prescribe medication for her
00:44:30We should see improvement in a month
00:44:33Okay
00:44:33I'll have someone prepare the medicine immediately
00:44:36Malcolm was skeptical
00:44:37But willing to try
00:44:39I didn't mention payment
00:44:40The Cinnabar material the Johnsons had given me before
00:44:43Was already more than enough
00:44:45I have to go now
00:44:47I'll come see you again next week
00:44:49Kira held my hand and wouldn't let go
00:44:51Her eyes were red but she didn't cry
00:44:53I said something softly
00:44:55And her eyes lit up
00:44:56Don't be afraid
00:44:58No one will ever bully you again
00:45:03To find Cinnabar for Wesley
00:45:05I returned to Folklanks again
00:45:07To see the old collector
00:45:08Patrick Marquez
00:45:14Elena
00:45:14Long time no see
00:45:16Here try my new coffee beans
00:45:20Patrick was an old collector
00:45:23If anyone had what I needed
00:45:25It would be him
00:45:28Patrick I need Cinnabar
00:45:30More than last time
00:45:33Cinnabar isn't cheap
00:45:34Why do you need so much?
00:45:36I'm buying it for a friend
00:45:38Price isn't an issue
00:45:40As we were drinking coffee
00:45:42And discussing the deal
00:45:43Cecily and Sylvia suddenly barged in
00:45:46Patrick
00:45:46Don't let her fool you
00:45:48She doesn't even acknowledge her foster parents
00:45:50She's got a black heart
00:45:52What do you mean?
00:45:54Patrick hated ungrateful people more than anything
00:45:55Cecily knew this
00:45:57And started exaggerating the story
00:45:58We worked so hard to raise her
00:45:59Gave her the best of everything
00:46:00And how does she repays us?
00:46:02The moment she found a richer family
00:46:04She turned her back on us
00:46:05Now she won't even acknowledge us
00:46:07Patrick's expression grew colder by the minute
00:46:11I watched Cecily's performance in silence
00:46:14Patrick, you have no idea
00:46:15She's living the high life now
00:46:17In some grand manor
00:46:18Driving luxury cars
00:46:20And us?
00:46:20We can barely afford to eat
00:46:22Mom, stop
00:46:24Aline has found her place among the rich now
00:46:26Of course she doesn't remember how good we were to her
00:46:29Elena
00:46:30I always thought you were a good kid
00:46:32I didn't expect you to be this kind of person
00:46:36I'm not selling you the Cinnabar
00:46:39Take your things and get out
00:46:41Patrick refused to sell me the Cinnabar on the spot
00:46:43And threw the scented candles I had brought out the door
00:46:45Get out
00:46:47Don't let me see you again
00:46:59I picked up the candles and placed them back on the table
00:47:06I don't take back gifts once they've been given
00:47:09With that, I turned and left
00:47:11The Cinnabar deal fell through
00:47:14For the first time, I couldn't keep a promise I had made to Wesley
00:47:25Now you know who's in charge, don't you Elena?
00:47:29After failing to get the Cinnabar, I didn't go straight back to Claith
00:47:33Instead, I detoured to the old town
00:47:36Where Sheila lived
00:47:38Sheila, my foster grandmother
00:47:40Was the only person in the Reed family who was good to me
00:47:43When Cecily wouldn't let me eat as a child
00:47:45Sheila secretly gave me money
00:47:47When Benjamin wanted to kick me out
00:47:49She was the one who spoke up for me
00:47:51But today, Sheila's room was empty
00:47:53Elena?
00:47:56You're here for Sheila?
00:47:58Cecily took her away a few days ago
00:48:01Said she was taking her to a big mansion
00:48:03To enjoy the good life
00:48:11Alarm bells went off in my head
00:48:13Cecily and Sheila had never gotten along
00:48:15Her suddenly taking Sheila away meant nothing good
00:48:19I called Zissily
00:48:24Oh, missing your grandmother already?
00:48:26Wanna see her?
00:48:28Fine
00:48:29Give me 50 million
00:48:32Sylvia and Darren's wedding needs money
00:48:35As her sister, shouldn't you contribute?
00:48:38Where is Sheila?
00:48:39That's none of your business
00:48:41Wire the money
00:48:41Or you'll never see her again
00:48:44I hung up coldly
00:48:49That afternoon, Reed Group's five core partners
00:48:52All received the same email
00:48:54Terminate cooperation with Reed Group
00:49:01The Reed Group's crisis exploded overnight
00:49:05Raw material supplies were cut off
00:49:08Projects halted
00:49:09Workers collectively demanded unpaid wages
00:49:11Benjamin was in over his head
00:49:13Osiris
00:49:14We've been partners for so many years
00:49:16How can you just terminate our agreement like this?
00:49:19You've offended someone you shouldn't have
00:49:21Who?
00:49:21Who did I offend?
00:49:23You know perfectly well
00:49:25Goodbye
00:49:26Benjamin finally realized
00:49:27These partners' loyalty to me far exceeded any they had for him
00:49:31For ten years, those contracts had never been signed
00:49:34Because of his skills
00:49:35But me
00:49:36Even worse, news of Darren calling off the engagement spread throughout Foykland
00:49:41The Reed family became a complete laughing stock
00:49:43How did this happen?
00:49:45How did this happen?
00:49:46Cecily was finally starting to get scared
00:49:48But she didn't know
00:49:49This was only the beginning
00:49:52I returned to cloth empty-handed
00:49:56And confessed to Wesley that I hadn't gotten the Cinnabar
00:49:58Why?
00:50:00There was a complication
00:50:01Someone sabotaged the deal
00:50:04But I won't give up
00:50:05I'll find another way
00:50:06I thought Wesley would be angry
00:50:08After all, I knew how much effort he had put in purchasing Cinnabar
00:50:13There were a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line
00:50:18It's fine
00:50:18I'll wait for you
00:50:20I was stunned
00:50:21This man had always been testing me
00:50:23Using me
00:50:24But every time I ran into trouble
00:50:26He was there
00:50:28I'll find another way
00:50:29Give me a few days
00:50:33Okay
00:50:33Wesley hung up and said something to Felix
00:50:36Look into what the Reed family has been up to lately
00:50:39Yes, Mr. Spencer
00:50:40I didn't know it yet
00:50:42But he was already preparing to act
00:50:44A week later
00:50:45I returned to the Johnsons' home to check on Kira again
00:50:48Kira's treatment had made remarkable progress
00:50:52She was starting to hear sounds
00:50:55Knock, knock, knock
00:50:57Kira's head snapped around
00:50:58Her eyes wide
00:50:59Staring my hand
00:51:01She had heard it
00:51:02She heard it
00:51:03She actually heard it
00:51:04Yes
00:51:05Next, she needs to learn to speak
00:51:07Like a baby
00:51:08Starting from scratch
00:51:12Elena, thank you
00:51:13Thank you
00:51:14For healing my daughter
00:51:16Mr. Johnson
00:51:17I still need some Cinnabar
00:51:18I'd like to buy some
00:51:19Cinnabar is not for sale
00:51:21But you saved Kira
00:51:22I'm giving it to you
00:51:23Just tell me how much you need
00:51:24I hadn't expected to get the Cinnabar so easily
00:51:27But I later came to understand
00:51:29What Wesley wanted was never just Cinnabar
00:51:31After getting the Cinnabar
00:51:32I went to Spencer Group to deliver it
00:51:34After signing the documents
00:51:36I went to the restroom
00:51:38As soon as I walked in
00:51:39I heard voices from the stalls
00:51:41Did you hear?
00:51:42Wesley's fiancé is coming back!
00:51:44Really?
00:51:45That Miss Kathy Garrett?
00:51:46That's the one!
00:51:47I heard she's been abroad
00:51:48This time she's coming back
00:51:49All those women who tried to seduce Wesley before
00:51:51She took care of every single one of them
00:51:54What about Elena?
00:51:55She's with Wesley every day
00:51:56Shh!
00:51:56Keep your voice down
00:51:57I think she's in the building today
00:51:58I washed my hands
00:52:01Dried them
00:52:02And left without changing my expression
00:52:05The moment the door closed
00:52:07I heard gasps behind me
00:52:09Was that Elena just now?
00:52:12We're doomed!
00:52:14She definitely hurt us!
00:52:16Kathy Garnett
00:52:17Wesley's fiancé
00:52:20Wesley had never mentioned her to me
00:52:22But what did that have to do with me?
00:52:25I came out of the restroom
00:52:27And turned the corner
00:52:28When a man almost bumped into me
00:52:30Whoa there, beautiful
00:52:32Theo Spencer
00:52:33Wesley's half-brother
00:52:35His whole demeanor
00:52:37Reeked of frivolity
00:52:38I haven't seen you around before
00:52:39Are you new here?
00:52:41Let's exchange numbers
00:52:43Move
00:52:43Don't be so cold
00:52:45You're from Leopard X?
00:52:46I have authority over Spencer Group's projects too, you know
00:52:49I said
00:52:51Move
00:52:51Theo blocked my way
00:52:53Wearing a flirtatition smirk
00:52:55I couldn't be bothered to waste words on him
00:52:57I walked straight around him
00:52:59I looked up
00:53:00And saw someone standing at the end of the hallway
00:53:02It was Wesley
00:53:03He was watching us
00:53:05His eyes dark
00:53:06Felix stood behind Wesley
00:53:08And quietly stepped back
00:53:09His boss's gaze was terrifying
00:53:13Wesley?
00:53:15Wesley ignored him
00:53:16His eyes stayed fixed on me
00:53:19I kept walking
00:53:21As I passed Wesley
00:53:22I noticed he was leaning against the wall
00:53:25His face pale
00:53:30You don't look well
00:53:32I smelled alcohol on him
00:53:34He had just been drinking
00:53:35His stomach condition wasn't healed yet
00:53:38And he was already drinking again
00:53:40Did he have a death wish?
00:53:41You have a stomach condition and you're still drinking?
00:53:44Do you want yourself killed?
00:53:46I'm fine
00:53:47He said he was fine
00:53:49But there was sweat on his forehead
00:53:50I sighed
00:53:52And pressed my hand against his abdomen
00:53:58What are you doing?
00:54:00Relieving your pain
00:54:01Don't move
00:54:03I massaged his abdomen precisely
00:54:07His breathing gradually stead-eyed
00:54:12His deep eyes never left my face
00:54:18Why are you helping me?
00:54:21You helped me before
00:54:22Just repaying the favor
00:54:24Wesley's eyes dimmed
00:54:28He didn't speak
00:54:29But I could tell he wasn't satisfied with that answer
00:54:32My hand continued massaging his abdomen
00:54:35Casually
00:54:35My eyes fell on the ring on his finger
00:54:37My heart skipped a beat
00:54:39That ring
00:54:39It was identical to the one my mentor left behind
00:54:42The pattern
00:54:43The material
00:54:44The patia
00:54:44Every detail matched
00:54:46I suppressed the surge of emotion
00:54:47And asked
00:54:48Fending calm
00:54:49Mr. Spencer
00:54:51Your ring is very unique
00:54:53Where did it come from?
00:54:55It's a family heirloom
00:54:56The symbol of the Spencer family head
00:54:59A family heirloom
00:55:00That meant this ring had been passed down
00:55:02Through the Spencer family for generations
00:55:04Then where did my mentor's ring come from?
00:55:07It's beautiful
00:55:09You like it?
00:55:10I've just never seen this design before
00:55:12Wesley didn't press further
00:55:14But his eyes told me
00:55:15He didn't buy that
00:55:16How are you feeling now?
00:55:18My palm continued massaging Wesley's stomach
00:55:21Much better
00:55:22Thank you
00:55:23If you really want to thank me
00:55:25Can you promise me one thing?
00:55:27Wesley's brow fronted slightly
00:55:29Few people dared to make demands of him so openly
00:55:32What is it?
00:55:33It's nothing too difficult
00:55:35I just want to ask you a question
00:55:39What question?
00:55:41Just as I was about to speak
00:55:42Wesley's phone rang
00:55:48He had to answer it
00:55:49Okay, I know
00:55:50Wait for me in the conference room
00:55:52I'll be right there
00:55:54Wesley hung up
00:55:56I have something to take care of now
00:55:58I'll answer your question when I'm done
00:56:00I nodded
00:56:01Work was important, after all
00:56:04After Wesley's meeting
00:56:05He opened a bottle of wine
00:56:07Have a drink
00:56:08To celebrate
00:56:09I took a sip
00:56:10Fruity and sweet
00:56:11Not like hard liquor
00:56:11I had one glass
00:56:13Then another
00:56:13When my vision started to blur
00:56:14I realized
00:56:15This wine had a strong kick
00:56:18Mr. Spencer
00:56:18Stop spinning
00:56:21Before I could finish my sentence
00:56:23I fell straight into his arms
00:56:26Wesley looked down at my flushed cheeks
00:56:29His Adam Apple bod
00:56:30His breathing became headier
00:56:32The phone suddenly rang
00:56:34Jeffrey's voice came through
00:56:37I'm coming to pick up Elena
00:56:38Where is she?
00:56:40Come in
00:56:40The door opened
00:56:41Jeffrey walked in
00:56:42And saw me leaning on Wesley
00:56:44His face turned ash
00:56:46What did you do to her?
00:56:48Can't you see?
00:56:49She's the one leaning on me
00:56:51Jeffrey helped me out
00:56:52With a dark expression
00:56:53The car door closed
00:56:55And we drove out of the parking lot
00:56:57I opened my eyes
00:56:59My gaze was clear
00:57:00There was no trace of drunkenness
00:57:02I smiled slightly
00:57:04Faking it?
00:57:06Yes
00:57:09You did that on purpose?
00:57:11He's been testing me all along
00:57:13I needed to test him too
00:57:15I wanted to know where this man's limits were with me
00:57:18Don't play with fire
00:57:19Wesley is not someone to be trifled with
00:57:22I know
00:57:23I could see that Wesley's interest in me was growing
00:57:25His tests
00:57:26His gaze
00:57:27His breathing just now
00:57:28They were all telling me one thing
00:57:30He was falling for me
00:57:33But I still didn't know how I should respond
00:57:35A few days later
00:57:36Jeffrey took me to a gathering at the Spencer family home
00:57:39Gerald Spencer was there too
00:57:40Wesley's sister Karen came up to me
00:57:43Elena
00:57:43Do you dare to race me?
00:57:45The loser is never allowed to set foot in the Spencer house again
00:57:48I knew she didn't like how close I was to Wesley
00:57:52What if you lose?
00:57:53If I lose?
00:57:55I'll never bother you again
00:57:57Gerald watched us bicker with interest
00:57:59He didn't stop us
00:58:01Fine
00:58:02You pick the time and place
00:58:04Tomorrow at 4pm
00:58:06Thundertrack
00:58:07Don't be late
00:58:10Karen smirked and walked away
00:58:12She was looking forward to watching me embarrass myself on the track
00:58:15She didn't know that I had won the championship on that same track three years ago
00:58:21Elena
00:58:23Aren't you afraid of losing?
00:58:25I won't lose
00:58:26The next afternoon, Thundertrack
00:58:28Karen brought me here
00:58:29A group of rich kids gathered around to watch and plate bets
00:58:32I'm betting on Karen
00:58:335 million
00:58:34Me too
00:58:35She's the champion every year
00:58:37Almost everyone was betting on Karen to win
00:58:40Elise was there too
00:58:41Watching with a cold smirk
00:58:45Elena
00:58:46You're just asking for humiliation
00:58:48Karen is the racing god of Clathe's elite circle
00:58:54We'll see
00:58:555 million
00:58:55On Elena to win
00:58:57Everyone fell silent
00:58:58Everyone looked at Wesley
00:58:59This man who never attended social events
00:59:02Had actually come to place about himself
00:59:03Karen's face turned Asian
00:59:05But under Wesley's vicey gaze
00:59:07She didn't dare cause trouble
00:59:08The race began
00:59:10In the first round of teams
00:59:11I stayed in the middle
00:59:12Taking it easy
00:59:14Karen advanced easily
00:59:15In the final round
00:59:17Karen and I faced off head to head
00:59:19She slammed on the gas
00:59:21And left me behind
00:59:27Karen thought smugly
00:59:28She's not that impressive after all
00:59:33Karen is going to win
00:59:36I told you
00:59:37How could Elena possibly beat Karen?
00:59:40The final lap
00:59:46My car suddenly shot forward like an arrow
00:59:49My earlier low profile
00:59:51All of it was a disguise
01:00:01I overtook at a bewildering angle on the curve
01:00:05The tires screamed against the track
01:00:12The silver shadow of my car crossed the finish line first
01:00:16Like a shooting star
01:00:22Karen was still lost in her illusion of victory
01:00:26The referee walked over
01:00:28And cleared his throat awkwardly
01:00:31Miss Spencer
01:00:32You were lapped
01:00:34What?
01:00:38She was lapped left
01:00:39How is that possible?
01:00:41Elena is the real real racing expert
01:00:44She was just acting before
01:00:47I took off my gloves
01:00:49And got out of the car
01:00:55The whole place was quiet
01:00:58Everyone was still in shock
01:00:59From what they had just witnessed
01:01:01Elise's face turned pale
01:01:03She thought she'd see me humiliated
01:01:06But Karen ended up losing spectacularly
01:01:08How is this possible?
01:01:11How could she win?
01:01:16Impossible
01:01:17This can't be
01:01:21You lost
01:01:22Don't forget to keep your promise
01:01:27Karen gritted her teeth and nodded
01:01:30I looked at her calmly
01:01:32Then turned and walked away
01:01:36Behind me
01:01:37Elise was trembling with rage
01:01:40What made her even angrier
01:01:42Was that Wesley had come in person
01:01:43To bet on me
01:01:48Why?
01:01:49Why does everyone take her side?
01:01:56I didn't know what Elise was thinking
01:01:58I only knew that this victory was mine
01:02:02After the race
01:02:04The crowd slowly dispersed
01:02:06Karen was helped away
01:02:08Her face full of resentment
01:02:11Elise stood in the distance
01:02:12Staring at me intently
01:02:15Like a baleful snake
01:02:16At that moment
01:02:18Wesley was walking toward me
01:02:21The crowd parted automatically
01:02:23To make way for him
01:02:28You won
01:02:29You saw it
01:02:30I knew you would win from the start
01:02:32His tone was calm
01:02:34As if he was just stating a fact
01:02:35But I could hear something in it
01:02:37Not surprise but certainty
01:02:39Wesley didn't say much more
01:02:41He turned and left
01:02:42Felix
01:02:43Following behind
01:02:45Whispered something
01:02:46As he passed me
01:02:47Mr. Spencer has never bet on anyone else to win
01:02:51You're the first
01:02:52I paused for a moment
01:02:53Watching Wesley's figure disappear into the night
01:02:56That five million
01:02:58He had bet on me
01:02:59I knew that winning this race against Karen
01:03:02Was just the beginning
01:03:03What lay ahead was far more complicated
01:03:05Than a simple competition
01:03:07After the race
01:03:08Karen's attitude toward me
01:03:10Had clearly changed
01:03:12She was still unhappy about it
01:03:14But at least she no longer dared
01:03:15To provoke me openly
01:03:17But Elise was different
01:03:19The way she looked at me
01:03:20Was even more vicious than before
01:03:23I knew she wouldn't let it go
01:03:27Elena
01:03:27Don't get too cocky
01:03:29Karen just had bad luck
01:03:31Next time
01:03:32You won't be so lucky
01:03:38Is that so?
01:03:40I'll be waiting
01:03:46I didn't take Elise's words to heart
01:03:51When I got home
01:03:52I found Julie sitting in the living room
01:03:54Holding an invitation in her hand
01:03:58Elena, you're back
01:03:59Come take a look at this
01:04:06What is it?
01:04:07An invitation to the Garrett family's charity gala
01:04:10Miss Kathy Garrett has returned to the country
01:04:12And this is her welcome banquet
01:04:13All of Clay's elite will be there
01:04:16Kathy Garrett
01:04:17I had heard that name before
01:04:18The daughter of the Garrett family
01:04:20Regarded as Wesley's fiancé since childhood
01:04:22I want to take you with me
01:04:24You've been back in the Harper family for a while now
01:04:27It's time for you to make a formal appearance in high society
01:04:32Alright, I knew this banquet would not be peaceful
01:04:35But I had never been afraid of trouble
01:04:36On the day of the charity gala
01:04:38Jolie had prepared a silver white gown for me
01:04:41When I walked down the stairs in it
01:04:43The whole family was stunned
01:04:48Elena, you look beautiful today
01:04:51Of course my little sister is beautiful
01:04:54Thank you
01:04:55When we arrived at the banquet hall
01:04:57It was already crowded
01:04:59Almost all of Claytha's elite and dignitaries were there
01:05:04I saw Karen standing in the crowd
01:05:08When she saw me, she gave me an awkward nod
01:05:12Then I saw Kathy Garrett
01:05:13She was standing in the center of the banquet hall
01:05:16Surrounded by a group of people
01:05:18Golden curls
01:05:19A red gown
01:05:21She was like a blazing flame
01:05:26So you're the Harper family's newly found daughter
01:05:29You certainly live up to your reputation
01:05:34I'm flattered, Miss Garrett
01:05:36I'm not complimenting you
01:05:40I'm just saying
01:05:41You do have a face that would make men's hearts flutter
01:05:46Unfortunately, a pretty face alone isn't enough
01:05:51Her smile was elegant
01:05:52But every word she said was a provocation
01:05:58She was telling me
01:06:00Don't think that just because Wesley gave you a ruby
01:06:03You're special
01:06:05You're right
01:06:06A pretty face alone isn't enough
01:06:11That's why I have other advantages as well
01:06:13Oh?
01:06:15Like what?
01:06:16For example
01:06:17I can make Wesley come in person just to give me a gift
01:06:21But some people can stand right in front of him
01:06:23And he won't even glance their way
01:06:24Kathy's expression changed
01:06:27She knew who I was talking about
01:06:30Who in Clay's high society didn't know that Wesley had gave me a pigeon blood ruby?
01:06:38You!
01:06:41Fine
01:06:42We'll see about that
01:06:45Kathy turned and walked away
01:06:47But I could see her fists clenching
01:06:49I knew that from today on I had gained another enemy
01:06:52But I didn't regret it
01:06:55If you take one step back
01:06:56They'll take a mile
01:06:58Better to show them from the start
01:07:00I'm not someone to be messed with
01:07:02Halfway through the banquet
01:07:03Wesley appeared
01:07:05He was still the same black suit
01:07:07Cold expression
01:07:08An unapproachable aura
01:07:10But tonight
01:07:11He walked straight toward me
01:07:14Everyone's eyes followed him
01:07:17You look beautiful today
01:07:18Thank you
01:07:20Kathy stood not far away
01:07:22Watching this scene
01:07:23Her face ashen
01:07:24She was the hostess of this banquet
01:07:26But Wesley's gaze never fell on her once
01:07:30Miss Garrett
01:07:31You see?
01:07:32This is how she seduces Westland
01:07:34Shut up
01:07:39I know what to do
01:07:40Wesley stood beside me for a while
01:07:43Without saying much
01:07:45But the fact that he stood beside me
01:07:47Was himself a statement
01:07:48Be careful with Kathy
01:07:51She's not like Elise
01:07:53She's not just some woman who plays petty tricks
01:07:57Are you worried about me?
01:08:00What do you think?
01:08:04He didn't answer
01:08:07But his eyes told me the answer
01:08:09After the banquet ended
01:08:11I thought that was it for the night
01:08:12But just as I was about to leave
01:08:14Kathy called out to me
01:08:15Elena
01:08:16Wait a moment
01:08:18Is there something you need?
01:08:20I want to talk to you
01:08:22About Wesley
01:08:24There's nothing to talk about
01:08:25Don't leave so soon
01:08:27I just want to tell you one thing
01:08:30My engagement to Wesley
01:08:31Was arranged by our families
01:08:33Since we were children
01:08:35I know he has no feelings for me
01:08:37But that doesn't matter
01:08:38What matters is that the marriage
01:08:39Between the Garrett and Spencer families
01:08:41Affects the fate of both clans
01:08:42So?
01:08:45So
01:08:45I hope you'll stay away from him
01:08:47Not for me
01:08:49For him
01:08:50If you truly care about him
01:08:52You won't make things difficult for him
01:08:55Kathy's words were flawless
01:08:57She wasn't threatening me
01:08:58She was caring for me
01:09:00This kind of person
01:09:01Was much harder to deal with
01:09:03Than Elise
01:09:04Miss Garrett
01:09:05Wesley is not a piece of merchandise
01:09:08Who he chooses
01:09:09Is his freedom
01:09:10If he chooses you
01:09:11I won't bother him
01:09:13But if he chooses someone else
01:09:15You can't stop him either
01:09:21With that
01:09:22I turned and left
01:09:23Without looking back at her
01:09:27A few days later
01:09:29As I was handling documents
01:09:30At the company
01:09:31My assistant Charlotte
01:09:32Walked in hurriedly
01:09:33Elena
01:09:35Something's wrong
01:09:36What happened?
01:09:39Someone reported to the company
01:09:41That you tampered with the project
01:09:42And leakered confidential data
01:09:44The audit department
01:09:45Is already investigating
01:09:46Who reported it?
01:09:49Anonymous
01:09:50But I have a feeling
01:09:52This isn't simple
01:09:54I didn't panic
01:09:55Instead
01:09:56I opened my computer
01:09:57And started tracing
01:09:58The source of the complaint
01:09:59Ten minutes later
01:10:01I found the IP address
01:10:02Traced back to the Garrett group
01:10:06Kathy
01:10:08She finally made her move
01:10:09And her first move
01:10:11Was aimed at destroying me
01:10:13Did you find out who it was?
01:10:16I found it
01:10:18But I'll handle this myself
01:10:20I wouldn't let Kathy win
01:10:22She could use the Garrett family's power
01:10:24To suppress me
01:10:25But what she didn't know was
01:10:27I had never been someone
01:10:29Who relied on others to survive
01:10:31When the audit department
01:10:33Came to investigate
01:10:34I had already prepared
01:10:36All the evidence
01:10:37Every line of code
01:10:39Every document
01:10:40Every operation log
01:10:42All crystal clear
01:10:45Miss Harper
01:10:46Someone has reported
01:10:48That you tampered with the project
01:10:49Please cooperate
01:10:51With our investigation
01:10:53No problem
01:10:54These are all my work records
01:10:56Since I joined
01:10:57You can examine them carefully
01:11:01Kathy also came to the scene
01:11:03She stood aside
01:11:05Arms crossed
01:11:06Waiting to see me humiliated
01:11:11Elena
01:11:12If you confess
01:11:13I can put in a good word
01:11:15For you with Wesley
01:11:16After all
01:11:17You've had a hard life
01:11:18Why would I confess
01:11:19To something I didn't do?
01:11:26Two hours later
01:11:28The audit results came out
01:11:33All records are clean
01:11:35The report is false
01:11:37Miss Harper
01:11:38Is innocent
01:11:40Kathy's expression changed
01:11:42Kathy's expression changed
01:11:42She hadn't expected me
01:11:44To keep such complete work records
01:11:46Miss Garrett
01:11:48Sorry to disappoint you
01:11:52Kathy gritted her teeth
01:11:54And turned to leave
01:11:57But I knew she wouldn't stop there
01:11:59After the false report incident
01:12:02Wesley came to me
01:12:04Kathy
01:12:04Was behind this
01:12:07I know
01:12:09Aren't you angry?
01:12:11What good would being angry do?
01:12:14She wanted to see me lose control
01:12:17The angrier I get
01:12:18The more satisfied she becomes
01:12:21You're always like this
01:12:23No matter what happens
01:12:24You stay so calm
01:12:26Being calm
01:12:27Being calm is how you solve problems
01:12:30Impulsiveness only makes things worse
01:12:33I'll handle this
01:12:34Kathy won't bother you again
01:12:37No need
01:12:38I can handle it myself
01:12:40I know you can
01:12:41But I want to help you
01:12:43I looked at him
01:12:45Feeling something I couldn't quite name
01:12:47This man
01:12:48From testing me
01:12:49Suspecting me
01:12:49To now wanting to help me
01:12:51I didn't know what this was
01:12:52But I knew
01:12:53I didn't hate it
01:12:54Thank you
01:12:55But if possible
01:12:57I hope you won't get involved for now
01:12:58This is between her and me
01:13:03Alright
01:13:04I respect your decision
01:13:05He turned and left
01:13:07Leaving me alone by the window
01:13:09In the night
01:13:10The city lights flickered in the distance
01:13:12Kathy Garrett
01:13:13Elise Harper
01:13:17One used family power against me
01:13:19The other plotted against me from the shadows
01:13:24They thought this would bring me down
01:13:26But they didn't know
01:13:29I'd never relied on anyone to get where I was
01:13:32Thanks to us to the left
