Short filmTranscript
00:00Before I left for Europe, I gave my daughter an obsidian horde card.
00:03It had no spending limit.
00:05I told her, you had to spend at least 5 million a month.
00:08Every Draven heir had to learn how to command a dragon's horde.
00:11At first, I only thought that if my daughter spent well, I would have more drive to earn.
00:16But after a while, something felt wrong.
00:18In 3 days, she bought over 100 sex toys.
00:20In 5 days, she bought 10 villas.
00:23Yesterday, she even bought 100 obscene novelty items.
00:26I returned in secret to find out the truth.
00:28But I never expected the moment I landed.
00:31I would be told my daughter had been hit by a car while picking through trash.
00:35She was in the hospital and couldn't even pay her medical bill.
00:38Before my heartache could settle, my phone suddenly received another alert.
00:42The obsidian horde card had just paid for a luxury spa package.
00:46I immediately stopped my assistant from freezing the card.
00:49So she liked spending my daughter's horde.
00:51Fine, then I would let her spend enough.
00:54I stepped off the plane with the birthday gift I had prepared.
00:57In my mind, I was still imagining Elena's happy little face when she saw the surprise.
01:01But as soon as I left the airport, I turned on my phone and saw more than a dozen missed
01:05calls.
01:06Then my phone rang again.
01:07This is Haven Medical Center.
01:09Are you Elena Dreven's mother?
01:12She was hit by a car yesterday while picking through trash on the street.
01:15She was brought to our hospital for emergency treatment.
01:18She survived, but the medical bill needs to be paid.
01:21How is that possible?
01:22The words came out before I could stop them.
01:24You are not trying to dodge the bill, are you?
01:26Hurry up and come pay.
01:28Otherwise, we can only throw your daughter out and let her fend for herself.
01:31Then she hung up.
01:32I was shocked and confused.
01:33But I quickly told the driver to head to the hospital.
01:36How could Elena be picking through trash?
01:38Even if she had spent all the money, there were servants at home.
01:41No one would have let her go hungry.
01:43Besides, she had the obsidian horde card.
01:45How could she not even pay a hospital bill?
01:47The moment I got out of the car, I ran to the ward.
01:50I saw my daughter lying on the bed.
01:52She was so thin she looked like skin and bones.
01:54Her arm was fractured.
01:56It was wrapped in thick casts.
01:57It made her already thin arms and legs look even more fragile.
02:00When she saw me, her dull eyes instantly filled with tears.
02:03I walked over and pulled her into my arms.
02:05Baby, don't be scared.
02:08Mom is back.
02:10There were several bruises and swollen marks on her face.
02:13Her exposed arms were covered in wounds too.
02:15The small air mark on her wrist looked almost dead.
02:18In only one year, my bright little dragon princess had become like this.
02:22Mom, the nurse said today is the final deadline.
02:24If we don't pay, they will throw me out.
02:27Her tears burned my heart.
02:28I stroked her hair and asked softly.
02:30Didn't mom leave you the obsidian horde card?
02:33How could you have no money?
02:35Her small body trembled.
02:37Only after I encouraged her with my eyes did she speak.
02:39Julian took my horde card.
02:41He gave it to Clara.
02:43He said I wasn't worthy of being the drape in air.
02:46He said I wasn't worthy of him either.
02:50Julian Vale was the son of my housekeeper, Marla Vale.
02:53Clara Vale was the child who had been raised in my daughter's place by mistake.
02:57The two of them were close.
02:58Many people said Julian would become House Draven's future son-in-law.
03:02After Elena came back, I was afraid Clara would be unhappy.
03:05So I sent Clara out of the manor at once.
03:08I also gave Clara enough money to live on for the rest of her life.
03:11That was already more than generous.
03:13I never thought those two ungrateful snakes would dare to bully my daughter.
03:17I would make them regret it, looking at Elena's timid, worn-out face.
03:21My heart felt like it was being cut open.
03:24Mom won't let them off.
03:26From now on, no one will dare bully you again.
03:30As soon as I finished speaking, the nurse came in and threw the bill onto the bed.
03:35Hurry up and pay the bill.
03:37Don't think you can get away with this.
03:39I looked at the foul-smelling, dim shared ward.
03:42Then I looked at the dirty bed under my daughter.
03:44I couldn't take it anymore.
03:46With one phone call, the director came in with dozens of doctors and nurses.
03:50The nurse turned pale in shock.
03:52Your attitude toward patients proves you don't deserve to work here.
03:55You are fired.
03:56He bowed to me with deep respect and apologized.
03:59Mrs. Draven, this was our mistake.
04:01We let the young heir suffer.
04:03Only then did the nurse realize she was in trouble.
04:05She tried to beg, but security dragged her out.
04:08I refused the director's request to move Elena to another ward.
04:11Then I made another call.
04:13In less than 10 minutes, a private medical team arrived.
04:16They escorted Elena into a private medical vehicle.
04:18My assistant followed behind me in sharp heels.
04:21She looked calm, capable, and professional.
04:24She reported respectfully.
04:25During your time away, Julian started his own business.
04:28He has been claiming outside that he is your future son-in-law.
04:34He used that to gain benefits.
04:35He said you would let him inherit Draven Holden-Shing sooner or later.
04:39He took many projects from the company.
04:41He said he only recognizes Clara as his fiance.
04:44Clara took over the assets you prepared for Miss Elena, and she also drove Miss Elena out of the Draven
04:51Manor.
04:52The more she spoke, the colder my face became.
04:54I had thought Julian was somewhat clever, so I paid for him to attend Asterian Academy since he was young.
05:00I gave him a little kindness, and he really started thinking he mattered.
05:04Clara had lived as a rich, Draven girl in my daughter's place for more than 10 years.
05:08Not only did she feel no guilt, she even wanted to steal everything from its rightful owner.
05:13I clenched my fist.
05:14My daughter was not someone they could bully.
05:16At that moment, another spending alert came to my phone.
05:19I opened it.
05:20It was an entrance fee for an auction.
05:22Mrs. Draven, should I freeze this hoard card right now?
05:25Not that fast.
05:27Freeze it before 7 tonight.
05:29Also, Elena and I will attend the Midnight Hoard auction in a week.
05:33Yes, Mrs. Draven.
05:34I will arrange it now.
05:37So they liked money.
05:38Good.
05:39I would send them a big gift soon.
05:40Also, investigate where Elena's injuries came from.
05:44Thinking of the wounds all over my sweet daughter, I was furious and heartbroken.
05:48Mom, are you mad at me?
05:50I'm sorry, Mom.
05:51I will never say bad things about Clara again.
05:54I can give her anything.
05:55Please don't abandon me.
05:56A sharp pain shot through my nose.
05:58What had they put into Elena's head?
06:00How could I ever abandon her?
06:02Mom is not mad at you.
06:04I'm angry at myself for failing to protect my baby.
06:07What belongs to my boy can never be taken away.
06:10How could Mom not want you?
06:11When Elena heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up.
06:14But soon, she lowered her head again.
06:15But Julian said you'd definitely favor Clara, because she's far better.
06:19If I don't behave, I'll get sent away.
06:21He said he was the son-in-law you and Dad chose.
06:23Whichever girl he chose chose got me the true Draven air more.
06:26I laughed from anger.
06:27I really didn't know where Julian got that confidence.
06:31He was Elena's senior at school.
06:33He looked smart and well-behaved.
06:36Girls her age usually liked that kind of boy.
06:40At that time, I was afraid Elena had no one she knew after coming home.
06:43So I allowed Julian to keep living in the Draven Manor.
06:46I wanted him to take care of Elena.
06:48I never thought I had let a snake into my own house.
06:50I lifted Elena's chin and looked at her tearful eyes.
06:53Elena Draven.
06:54You are the only child of House Draven.
06:56You are also the only heir of Draven Holdings.
06:59One day, you will inherit everything we own.
07:02There is no so-called sister.
07:04And you don't need any husband to help you.
07:06You will be the future matriarch.
07:08Remember that.
07:10The little girl's face slowly relaxed and nodded hard.
07:13That was more like it.
07:14At 7 o'clock in the evening one week later, I brought Elena into the auction house.
07:18It was hidden nine floors under the city center.
07:21It was bright with gold, black marble, and dragon crests.
07:24At the midnight hoard auction, anything could be bought.
07:27The beautiful hostess saw the badge in my hand.
07:29She immediately led us upstairs with respect.
07:32Honored guests, please come to the third floor suite.
07:34That badge wasn't something money alone could buy.
07:37You needed both money and power.
07:40No more than five guests could enter the third floor.
07:43Everyone on the first floor was worth millions.
07:45But here, they were only worthy of ordinary seats.
07:48There were expensive desserts and drinks worth tens of thousands in the suite.
07:52Have some, baby.
07:52I placed a plate of pastries in front of Elena.
07:55Through the one-way glass, I saw Clara and Julian in the crowd on the first floor.
07:59Clara was surrounded by the whole class like a princess.
08:02She wore the latest custom gown.
08:03Then I looked at my thin, weak daughter.
08:05The dragon fire in her eyes was so faint I could barely see it.
08:08My heart felt like someone was stirring it with a knife.
08:11The auction started soon.
08:13Clara said it was her birthday.
08:14She told the whole class to bid on anything they wanted.
08:17Everything would go on her tab.
08:19Every time she claimed it, I raised the price like crazy.
08:22Clara saw a necklace that started at one million rise all the way to five million.
08:26Who is on the third floor?
08:27Why do they keep going against me?
08:29Aren't they scared of crossing house, dragon?
08:32She became angry.
08:33Julian comforted her gently.
08:34It's fine, baby.
08:36Money is just about numbers.
08:38When this ends, I will drag that person out and let you vent.
08:43Then he took out the obsidian hoard card and told her not to be angry.
08:47Elena saw that I only raised the price but bought nothing.
08:49She looked at me uneasily.
08:51I thought there was something she wanted.
08:53The things outside are nothing special.
08:55Diss a mom the birthday for you.
08:56See you like it?
08:57Inside was an emerald necklace.
08:59It was the emerald flame necklace.
09:01An old draven heirloom once worn by the last dragon queen of Avalon.
09:04It was priceless.
09:05Everything in tonight's auction combined could not buy it.
09:08It is too precious.
09:09I don't deserve it.
09:11My girl didn't even dare touch it.
09:13Only you deserve it.
09:15My little dragon princess.
09:17I put it on her with my own hands.
09:19She held it like it was the greatest treasure in the world.
09:22For the first time, she hugged me of her own accord.
09:24Warmth spread through my heart.
09:26I made up my mind.
09:27I would give her the best of everything.
09:29And everyone who had bullied her would pay their price.
09:31After we whispered together for a while, I went out to take a work call.
09:35When I came back, I saw Elena surrounded on the first floor.
09:43Elena, Clara never invited you.
09:46How do you still have the nerve to follow us here?
09:48Today, Miss Draven brought the whole class here to see what real wealth looks like.
09:52She opened a tab for all of us.
09:55But not for a beggar like you.
09:58What trash is that around your neck?
10:00It is so green.
10:00It looks fake.
10:04The short-haired girl who spoke yanked the necklace from Elena's neck.
10:08It left a bloody bruise on her skin.
10:10I think she is still dreaming of being a Draken heiress.
10:12How shameless.
10:14Boy said that.
10:15Then everyone started laughing.
10:16They all cursed her at once.
10:17They called her a bitch.
10:18They called her a fake heir.
10:19They called her a stray who stole Clara's place.
10:21In the chaos, someone snatched the cane from her hand.
10:24Several hands pushed her to the floor.
10:25The moment I saw this, I understood where the wounds on Elena's body had come from.
10:29I held back the rage that was about to explode.
10:32As I dote stairs, I took out my phone and snapped photos.
10:35A place like this normally didn't allow cameras, but I was the exception.
10:39I called the man who made both the boardroom and the dragon underworld tremble.
10:43Miss me, darling.
10:45Was Elena surprised about the gift?
10:47If outsiders heard the ruthless head of House Draken speak like that,
10:50they would probably have nightmares.
10:52Look at the photos I sent you.
10:53Cassie and Draven.
10:54Our real daughter was bullied into the hospital.
10:56What are you going to do?
10:59Wait for me.
11:01The call ended.
11:02I knew they were finished.
11:03Cassian wasn't like me.
11:04When he lost control, he didn't care about anything.
11:07They would spend the rest of their lives regretting this.
11:09Dozens of students in Astry Academy uniform stood over Elena.
11:12They mocked her from above.
11:13Again and again, they pushed her down and refused to let her get up.
11:16Give me back the necklace!
11:17I came here with my mom!
11:19I didn't follow you!
11:20The short-haired girl acted like she had heard a joke.
11:22She looked at the necklace in her hand.
11:24Your mom?
11:25A trash-picking mom just like you to this place.
11:27She probably could not even crawl up with some old man.
11:30Shut up!
11:30I won't let you insult my mother!
11:35Then she fell heavily to the ground again.
11:37She glared at the short-haired girl.
11:39The girl froze for a moment.
11:41Then she stepped back by instant.
11:43Clara stepped out from behind the crowd in a pink princess's dress.
11:46Everyone, listen.
11:48Hit her once, and I'll pay $10,000.
11:52Julian stood beside her in a custom suit.
11:54He held her waist.
11:55They looked intimate.
11:56When my mom comes back, I'll also have her help your family business.
12:00Once Clara said that, the whole class became eager.
12:02Clearly, this wasn't the first time she had offered a reward like this.
12:05Of course, Miss Draken.
12:07I just learned a few new moves.
12:09I'll make sure you're satisfied.
12:13Julian, you won't feel bad for her, right?
12:16As long as you are happy, baby.
12:19She was born with this fate.
12:21My girl who had been struggling froze when she heard him.
12:23The senior she had Sukrit liked for years had said those words.
12:26The light in her eyes dimmed.
12:28Julian?
12:29Clara smiled sweetly.
12:30The athletic boy immediately flattered her.
12:32Our Miss Draken is the only heir of the Serferina bloodline.
12:34She and Julian are born for each other.
12:36She was born with dragon gold in her blood.
12:38Elena isn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.
12:45Clara smiled even brighter.
12:47She clearly enjoyed that feeling.
12:49If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing your place.
12:52You tried to seduce Miss Clara's future consort.
12:55You even pretended to be part of House Draken.
12:57And now you dared to show up in front of the real heir.
13:02Stop!
13:03I grabbed the short-haired girl's raised wrist with one hand.
13:08I helped my daughter up with aching hands.
13:10Then I wiped her tears with both hands.
13:12It's okay.
13:13It's okay.
13:14Mom's here.
13:18She really did come with her mom.
13:19She doesn't look poor.
13:21So what if she has money?
13:22Can she be richer than Lady Clara's mother?
13:23What is there to be afraid of?
13:24Your daughter offended Miss Draken.
13:26If you two kneel and apologize, we can let this go today.
13:30Miss Draken, how impressive.
13:36How come I, Serafina Draven, never knew I had another daughter besides Elena?
13:43The people who had been watching nearby could no longer sit still.
13:46In the whole city, no one didn't know the name Serafina Draven.
13:49But very few people had seen me in person.
13:51No private information about me had ever appeared online.
13:54They only knew I was the matriarch of Old House Draven.
13:56The only heir of Draven Holdings.
13:58My husband was Cassian Dragon.
14:00He ruled both the boardroom and the dragon underworld.
14:02I wasn't some ordinary rich wife.
14:03I had inherited the family empire long ago.
14:06In business, my methods were ruthless.
14:08No one had ever dared to look down on me.
14:11That woman is Mrs. Draven?
14:13I saw her come down from the third floor.
14:15She might really be Serafina Draven.
14:17She was the one raising the prices against that girl earlier.
14:20Besides Mrs. Draven herself, who would dare offend them like that?
14:23The short-haired girl got panic.
14:25Then she suddenly thought of something.
14:26She shook her head and smeared.
14:28No wonder the little bitch likes pretending taught her.
14:30Clara said Mrs. Draven is in Europe.
14:32You exposed yourself the second you opened your mouth.
14:34I'll slap that lying mouth shut.
14:35I'll teach you how to behave.
14:37I'll teach you how to behave.
14:39She suddenly attacked me.
14:41Before anyone could react, I kicked her into the corner.
14:43Where did this crazy woman come from?
14:44Then I picked up the silver chain from the floor.
14:46Someone let her!
14:46One by one, I lashed those little bastards until they screamed and cried.
14:50They all rushed toward Clara.
14:51At that moment, Clara was already too scared to move.
14:54I stopped in front of her.
14:55Everyone thought I didn't dare touch Clara.
14:57Mom, please listen to me.
15:01Aunt Serafina.
15:03What did Julian call her?
15:05That crazy woman is really Serafina Draken?
15:08What does Clara mean?
15:09Is Elena really part of House Draken?
15:11Don't they only have one daughter?
15:14Explain how you, a fake heiress, abused the biological daughter I finally found.
15:19Or explain how the card I gave Elena ended up in your hand.
15:23Do not call me mom.
15:24I, Serafina Draken, only have one daughter.
15:27Elena Draken.
15:29After dozens of slaps, Clara's face was so swollen she could barely stand.
15:33She only stayed upright because Julian held her.
15:35Julian's face was full of heartache and disapproval.
15:38Aunt Serafina, Clara respects you so much.
15:40How can you hurt her like this?
15:42You raised her for 18 years.
15:44That little girl only came back a few years ago.
15:46How can she compare to Clara?
15:48Then I turned to this average man with impossible confidence.
15:50You are nothing but my housekeeper's son.
15:54Who gave you the right to steal from Elena's horde?
15:56The students of Asterian Academy looked confused.
15:59The housekeeper's son?
16:01Wasn't Julian a rich young heir too?
16:03He's been playing us all along!
16:05He's just a servant!
16:07Since he was young, he had pretended to be a rich boy.
16:09He had never exposed his real background.
16:11Still, he forced him back to stay calm.
16:13Aunt Serafina, if you still want someone to inherit your family business,
16:17then drive Elena out right now.
16:19I only love Clara in this life.
16:21I will never marry anyone else.
16:23I had never been so speechless in my life.
16:25Who you marry is none of my business.
16:27My family business has nothing to do with you either.
16:30But you bullied Elena.
16:32House Drayan and Draymans won't let you go.
16:35Before today, I thought Julian was Madame Serafina's future son-in-law.
16:38That's why we opened so many doors for him.
16:40But now, he looks more like her enemy.
16:43You only have one daughter.
16:45Besides me, who else can help you manage Draken Holdings?
16:49Fine.
16:50Keeping Elaiza is acceptable.
16:52But she can forget about touching the Draken Hold.
16:54At most, give her some money.
16:56That is my final compromise.
16:58I have no patience left for this idiot.
17:00I told my bodyguards to arrest the two of them.
17:02And in no time, they were all tied up.
17:04All the security personnel at the auction house pretended not to see.
17:07Then I threw them in front of Elena.
17:09Hit them.
17:11Whatever they did to you, do it back.
17:13I handed Elena her cane.
17:15Her deer-like eyes looked especially bright on her thin little face.
17:18She wiped away her tears with one hand.
17:19This is for all the lies.
17:24Are you crazy, Elena?
17:26It was as if she wanted to release every grievance from the past.
17:31We're leaving.
17:33Seeing this, Julian quietly wrapped an arm around Clara and tried to sneak away.
17:37Please settle tonight's bill first.
17:39The staff took out a bill for 98 million.
17:41Miss Clara Vale, you spent a total of 98 million tonight.
17:45Hurry up and swipe the card.
17:47Clara took out the obsidian treasure card with a look of disdain on her face.
17:51Hurry up and swipe it.
17:52The staff swiped the card on a dedicated PoEUS machine.
17:55The PS machine screen displays transaction denied account frozen.
17:58I'm sorry.
17:58This card no longer works.
18:00That is impossible.
18:01This card has no limit.
18:03How can it not work?
18:04You did this on purpose?
18:06Of course.
18:07I raised the prices on purpose.
18:08And then I froze the hoard card before payment.
18:11Enjoy your sky-high bill, false hair-ass.
18:18Anyone who cannot pay will lose everything.
18:21Some even disappear completely.
18:24I don't want them on any of those things!
18:26Take them back!
18:27The Midnight Horde auction lived in the shadows at Dragon Ball.
18:30Anyone who could not pay will lose everything.
18:32If not for this false heiress, we wouldn't have offended House Dreyen!
18:37Now we can't even get any material reward!
18:39You've ruined us, Clara!
18:41The scene was in chaos.
18:43I held my daughter's hand and returned to the hospital, under the guard's protection.
18:47Let those dogs bite each other.
18:48The next day Elena was discharged.
18:50A stretched Lincoln rolled through the gates of the Draven Manor.
18:53Welcome home, madam!
18:54All the servants bowed on both sides of the road.
18:56At a glance, I saw Marla hiding behind the crowd in panic.
18:59I ignored her for the moment.
19:00I went straight to the third floor.
19:02The room prepared for Elena had been completely ruined.
19:05All the furniture had been smashed.
19:07The walls were covered in dirty brown stains.
19:10Madam, Clara moved back in openly.
19:12She is currently living in Julian's room.
19:15Throw all of Clara and Julian's belongings into the back garden.
19:18Burn everything.
19:19The guards had all their belongings burned.
19:22Madam, we questioned the staff.
19:24Marla used her position as the head housekeeper to lie to everyone.
19:27She claimed you had been deceived, and that Clara was the real heir.
19:31She helped them drive Miss Elena out.
19:34Fire everyone!
19:36Anyone involved will be sued for theft and destruction of property.
19:40Madam!
19:41Now, this Clara is the daughter you watched grow up!
19:44If you told me about, my ears will never agree to become House Draken's son to you.
19:49You will regret this!
19:51My son will soon become a big boss!
19:53Don't get proud too early!
19:55Beat her.
19:56Then throw her out.
19:58I directly had security beat her.
20:00Then they threw her out of the manor.
20:02Clara and Julian were detained by the auction house for the whole night.
20:05In the end, they returned all the auction items.
20:07They also paid 10 million penalty fees before they were temporarily released.
20:11At school, Clara became the rat of the manor to pick.
20:13They spread the word that Julian was blacklisted from every Draken-backed circle.
20:17His business partners canceled their contracts one after another.
20:20Someone brought him to a casino.
20:22I can win it back!
20:23I can repair my cash flow!
20:26At first, he was lucky.
20:28He thought he could repair his broken cash flow.
20:30But overnight, he lost everything.
20:32They moved into an ordinary apartment.
20:33It was Marla's old place in the rundown part of the city.
20:37How could two people used to luxury accept that?
20:39Mom, how much savings do you still have?
20:42Marla is cooking for them.
20:43Count on fingers.
20:44Around 500,000.
20:45Is it enough for business?
20:47What belongs to mom belongs to you.
20:50That's not even pocket change!
20:52After moving in, she still enjoyed Marla's service as if it were natural.
20:55She still acted like she was Miss Clara Draven.
20:58Clara, cut it out.
20:59If she hadn't gone so far against Elena, they wouldn't have fallen this low.
21:03Clara instantly changed into a pitiful expression.
21:05Julian, this is all my fault.
21:06I dragged you down.
21:08The Draven fortune was supposed to be yours because of me.
21:12You are being suppressed everywhere.
21:14You have so much talent, but nowhere to use it.
21:17Now I understand.
21:19Status doesn't matter.
21:21Just marry Elena.
21:22As long as I am in your heart and you treat me well, that is a male.
21:26Clara, do you really mean that?
21:29As long as it is good for you, I can suffer anything.
21:32But your Aunt Serafina doesn't seem to want Elena to marry you.
21:36If we ruin Elena's reputation first, then release the suggestive videos and chat records between you two,
21:42by then she will have to marry you whether she wants to or not.
21:46You mean those dirty videos and chats? That doesn't seem right.
21:50Julian, it's our only way to get everything back.
21:53Before Elena was brought back to House Draven, she had only been an orphan who was often bullied.
21:58Just because he had helped her once, she had followed him around for years.
22:02She had saved every coin just to buy him a pair of sneakers.
22:06They are fake anyway.
22:08They are all for our future, Julian.
22:10Julian only needed two seconds to answer.
22:12Fine.
22:13As long as he became House Draven's son-in-law, he would have as much money as he wanted.
22:17Would he still need to fear gambling debts then?
22:21That night, rumors began spreading online.
22:23The title was ugly.
22:25There were many exposed videos and photos of girls in school uniforms.
22:29Some showed faces, some didn't.
22:31There were also all kinds of caring chat records.
22:33They made her look like she belonged in the dirt.
22:35Someone claiming to be Elena's old classmate said she had been sleeping around since middle school.
22:40Later, she set her eyes on Julian, the top student of the grade.
22:44Then she chased him openly.
22:45She never gave up.
22:46Julian didn't want her at first.
22:48But she threatened him in every way.
22:50In the end, because House Draven had supported him since he was young.
22:54He had no choice but to be with her.
22:56Who knew Elena still would not behave?
22:58Not only did she target her sister Clara.
23:00She even cheated on Julian.
23:02People loved gossip.
23:03Especially dirty gossip about a dragon heiress.
23:06This kind of story spread through the upper circles fast.
23:09This is the mighty Draven heir.
23:11She's trashier than anyone from the gutter.
23:14She looks so pitiful.
23:15Who knew she played so dirty behind everyone's back?
23:17She had her fun, then wanted to marry a good man.
23:19A dragon heiress can still be trapped.
23:21Who would dare marry her now?
23:23Only Julian is still willing to take her.
23:25If House Draven really refuses Julian, then they are just looking down on the poor.
23:30The moment I found out, I had my people contact every media company at once.
23:34Delete every trace of Elena.
23:36Make it disappear.
23:38Now!
23:38In less than 30 minutes, all the videos and chat records disappeared.
23:42When I saw the video of my daughter being stripped and forced to be filmed, my eyes turned red with
23:47rage.
23:47I wanted to throw them all into the sea.
23:50At the same time, I had people investigate the source.
23:53I knew it had to be those two ungrateful snakes.
23:56After handling everything, I hurried to see Elena.
23:58I was worried about her state of mind.
24:00Mom, do you want to sleep with me tonight?
24:02Elena lay in bed and looked surprised when she saw me.
24:05I studied her little face carefully.
24:07She was slowly gaining color again.
24:08Her eyes weren't swollen.
24:10Of course.
24:10It didn't look like she had cried.
24:11Mom will sleep with you tonight.
24:13Your father will be back tomorrow.
24:15Elena noticed the video on my phone had already been taken down.
24:18Then she saw me come to her room so late.
24:20She understood.
24:21I will not torture myself over other people's opinions anymore.
24:24Online rumors cannot hurt me.
24:25I didn't do those things.
24:27If I refuse to carry that shame, then it isn't mine.
24:31As expected of my daughter, I saw a shadow of myself on her face.
24:35I have already figured it out.
24:36Julian was controlling me all along.
24:39Every time I wanted to give up on him, he gave me a little hope.
24:42Now I only want to cut ties with him.
24:44Disgusting.
24:44Clearly, seeing people tie her to Julian had made her sick.
24:48Do not worry.
24:49I won't let them go.
24:50I patted my daughter's back and coaxed her to sleep.
24:52At 7 the next morning, during rush hour,
24:54videos of Julian and Clara appeared on every website.
24:57Videos of Julia and Clara appeared on every website.
25:01The locations were all different.
25:02Some were even inside the school.
25:05At the same time, the PR teams of House Draven and Draven Holdings sent out legal notices.
25:09They also released an official statement.
25:11Elena Draven was our only daughter.
25:13She was also our only heir.
25:14She had nothing to do with Julian Vale.
25:17The statement exposed all of Julian's lies.
25:19Everything Clara and Julian had done was soon revealed by different insiders.
25:24The truth poured out like a broken dam.
25:26The false heiress who repays kindness with betrayal became the talk of every circle.
25:31Nobody could stop talking about it.
25:33Asterian Academy reacted quickly.
25:35Every student involved in the bullying was expelled.
25:37And except for Clara, the families of those students saw their businesses collapse, one by one.
25:42Clara didn't even dare leave the apartment.
25:45Every day, people sent messages to harass her.
25:48Why were those videos recorded?
25:50What do we do now?
25:51How would I know what to do?
25:52This is all because of your stupid idea!
25:56Now Serafina is suing me!
25:58He had never expected Elena to truly stop caring about him.
26:00She had even given up marrying him.
26:02She won't let me go.
26:04I have to leave this place.
26:06Julian drained every last dollar of his mother's life's savings.
26:09He sold the old apartment.
26:11Julian, don't leave me!
26:14Then he abandoned Marla.
26:15He emptied the company accounts.
26:19Then he bought plane tickets abroad with Clara.
26:22But the moment they landed in a small country, someone knocked them out with drug-soaked cloths.
26:28Cassie and Draven stood in front of a private et.
26:31Dad brought you a little gift.
26:33His aura was as cold as ever.
26:34Only when he faced his wife and daughter could he soften a little.
26:37Elena stared at him blankly.
26:39She did not know this father well.
26:41She only felt he was fierce.
26:43But now, because of her, this father she had barely met had worked the night.
26:47He had rushed back to stand up for her.
26:49The private jet landed on an offshore Drake territory.
26:53It was a place beyond ordinary human law.
26:56Inside an abandoned warehouse, Clara and Julian were tied up tightly.
27:00Black hoods covered their heads.
27:01The moment we walked in, the two of them began struggling wildly.
27:05But it was useless.
27:08Who are you?
27:09Let me go!
27:10I can give you money!
27:11As much as you want!
27:12I am telling you!
27:13Have you heard of House Draven?
27:14I am their son-in-law!
27:16If you dare hurt me, House Draven will never let you go!
27:18Please don't hurt me!
27:19I can do anything!
27:21Clara cried so hard she could barely breathe.
27:24Cassian held Elena's hand with almost careful gentleness.
27:28Then he led her in front of those two.
27:30This is dragon territory.
27:32Here, you can do anything.
27:34A black-clowed assistant stepped forward.
27:36He yanked the hoods off their heads.
27:38The moment Clara heard Cassian's voice, she stopped crying.
27:41Then she began trembling non-stop.
27:43Dad!
27:44Please, I was wrong!
27:45Don't kill me!
27:46I was wrong!
27:48She had grown up in House Draven.
27:50She understood better than anyone how terrifying Cassian was.
27:54Once, she had made me cry.
27:55Cassian locked her away for three full days.
27:58There was no physical punishment, but it had made her feel worse than death.
28:02Now that she had no blood tied to him, what would he do?
28:04The assistant struck Clara across the face with a wooden board as wide as an arm.
28:08Her face swelled instantly.
28:10The skin slit.
28:11She was almost disfigured.
28:13Do not call me that.
28:14Cassian and I sat together on the soft chairs that had been brought in at some point.
28:18Julian was already terrified.
28:20For the first time, he realized this man might truly take his life.
28:23Elena held the dragon bone dagger.
28:25She stood in front of them.
28:28Apologize.
28:29Elena, I was wrong.
28:31It was all my fault.
28:32From now on, I will do whatever you say.
28:35The one I truly loved was always you.
28:37I was only fooled by Clara.
28:39She did all those things.
28:40I never wanted to hurt you.
28:42Julian said it with a sincere face.
28:44Clara stared at him in disbelief.
28:46This was the same Julian who had sworn he loved her.
28:48And now he was saying this.
28:50Julian failed!
28:52Have you forgotten?
28:53You were the one who stepped on her hand and stole the Horde card.
28:58You were the one who thought Elena was getting out of control.
29:01You protected her in front of me on purpose.
29:04You provoked me on purpose!
29:05So I would make things hard for her!
29:08You even told me to hire thugs to humiliate her.
29:13So you could show up and play!
29:15Hero!
29:16Shut up!
29:17They threw every dirty thing from the past onto the other person.
29:21I listened and tightened my grip on Cassian's hand.
29:23I had already read the investigation report.
29:26But hearing it from their own mouths still made my anger hard to control.
29:30Cassian let me hold his hand.
29:32His eyes went cold.
29:33Elena's thin body swayed.
29:35She pressed the dragon bone dagger against their necks.
29:37I won't dirty my flame for people like you.
29:40You both say you are innocent.
29:42But today, only one of you can walk out.
29:45She placed the dagger on the ground.
29:47Dad!
29:48Mom!
29:49Untie them!
29:50I nodded.
29:51The assistant stepped forward and cut their ropes.
29:53The two of them looked at each other.
29:55Their eyes burned with more hatred than enemies.
29:58Let's go.
29:59Elena held my hand with one hand.
30:00She held her father's hand with the other.
30:02Outside the warehouse, doctors were already waiting.
30:05We had never planned to let her stain her hands with blood.
30:07Still soft hearted.
30:08Cassian commented.
30:09Then he looked at his daughter and added.
30:11But you did well.
30:12Elena instantly smiled.
30:14Thank you dad.
30:15It is so good to have mom and dad.
30:17I lowered my head.
30:18I knew Clara and Julian would not have an easy end.
30:20In the end, Julian and Clara stabbed each other.
30:22Both fell in a pool of blood.
30:24After their wounds healed, they were sent back home.
30:26The casino people waited at Marla's place every day.
30:29The moment Julian returned, they grabbed him and forced him to pay his debts.
30:33He military base smelled like gun oil and dust.
30:36Elena's hands shook on the rifle.
30:38She missed the target completely.
30:39Some recruits laughed behind her.
30:41Rich girl playing soldier?
30:43One of them sneered.
30:44Probably thinks this is dress up.
30:45Probably thinks she can buy her way out of push ups too.
30:47She just cries hard enough.
30:49How cute.
30:50Give her a week.
30:50She'll run home to daddy's driver.
30:52A man in a faded green jacket walked over.
30:55He didn't introduce himself.
30:56But one could tell from his attire that he was an instructor.
30:59He looked at her stance and said nothing to the recruits at all.
31:02As if their mockery wasn't even worth his breath.
31:04Wrong.
31:05Again.
31:06Do you know who I am?
31:08I don't care who you are.
31:0950 push ups.
31:10Now.
31:11Excuse me?
31:12You heard me.
31:13Or would you rather I let them keep laughing?
31:15She dropped to the ground furious arms burning by the 20th.
31:18Nobody helped her up under her dad's protection.
31:21Nobody had ever let her fail before.
31:23It felt strange.
31:24A spirit of defiance surged up from deep within.
31:27That night Elena came back alone to the range.
31:29The instructor was still there.
31:31Cleaning a rifle.
31:32Go home princess.
31:33This isn't a place for people who quit the moment it stops being fun.
31:36I'm not leaving until I hit the center.
31:40Name's Kieran Val.
31:41Reload.
31:42By dawn she missed nine.
31:48But her 10th shot hit dead center.
31:50Not bad.
31:51For someone who cried on day one.
31:52I didn't cry.
31:53You did.
31:53I have witnesses.
31:54And they're all still laughing about it.
31:57For the first time in years she laughed too.
31:59Without thinking about the Draven name at all.
32:02The helicopter shuddered in the end.
32:04Elena's fingers locked under controls.
32:06Knuckles white.
32:07Breathe.
32:07Count to four.
32:08She counted.
32:09The shaking stopped.
32:10They landed hard skids getting sideways.
32:12But they landed.
32:13You held it together.
32:14That's the job.
32:15I thought you'd let me crash.
32:17I don't waste good recruits.
32:18You've got instincts.
32:19You just don't trust them yet.
32:21You were special forces.
32:23Real missions.
32:24Why train spoiled kids now?
32:26Some of us don't get to choose what's left when the mission's over.
32:29Miles away a guard slid a note through iron bars.
32:31Your debt's clear, Julian.
32:33Julian stared at the paper, stunned.
32:35Are you kidding me?
32:36Who paid it?
32:37That's just so strange.
32:39I don't know.
32:39Don't care.
32:40You're free tomorrow.
32:41Julian smiled slowly, turning the paper over like it might reveal a name.
32:45Someone believed in him again.
32:46He didn't see the black car outside the gates.
32:48Inside it, a man in a tailored coat watched the release list scroll across his phone.
32:53Julian Hart, look at him.
32:54Fresh out of prison, still convinced the world owes him a mansion and a wife with a bloodline.
32:59Let's see how loyal a dog gets when you feed him.
33:03Should we approach him directly?
33:04Not yet.
33:05Let him think it's luck first.
33:07Men are so much easier to use when they believe they earned it.
33:10He closed the screen.
33:11He didn't smile.
