00:00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.

00:00:05Today, my family pushed me into hell.

00:00:07The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.

00:00:10The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.

00:00:15Jolene!

00:00:16Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!

00:00:19If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.

00:00:21Release Jolene first.

00:00:22Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.

00:00:26I look toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.

00:00:31But he doesn't even glance my way.

00:00:33I choose Jolene too.

00:00:35This is the man I loved for three years.

00:00:37Code-blooded.

00:00:39Roofless.

00:00:47I know, once I nearly died saving him.

00:00:51But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.

00:01:00Poor girl.

00:01:02Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:01:04No need to hurry.

00:01:06One at a time, boys.

00:01:07Everyone gets their turn.

00:01:10No!

00:01:12Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.

00:01:16A dozen figures dressed in black storming silence.

00:01:19If you want to live,

00:01:23stop right now.

00:01:24I recognize the man.

00:01:26He is Liam Warren.

00:01:28The most powerful man in Artwell.

00:01:30Who commands a massive empire.

00:01:32Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.

00:01:35Mr. Warren.

00:01:36Please spare us.

00:01:53Who are you?

00:01:55I'm the one sending you to hell.

00:01:57Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams,

00:02:00desperate pleas,

00:02:01and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.

00:02:08How much did Jolene pay you?

00:02:10Five million.

00:02:11She wanted you ruined.

00:02:16Thank you for saving me.

00:02:21You've been poisoned for over a month.

00:02:25I can cure it.

00:02:27Do you trust me?

00:02:29I trust you.

00:02:30I draw a small blade,

00:02:32make a precise cut on his finger,

00:02:33and let out some blackened blood.

00:02:35Until it's fully out of my system,

00:02:37you're gonna have to stick close to me.

00:02:39First,

00:02:41I need to end things with the Browns.

00:02:43I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.

00:02:47When I return home,

00:02:48I find my biological parents and three brothers

00:02:50gathered around Jolana,

00:02:52showering her with care.

00:02:53I close the distance,

00:02:55grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.

00:02:58Catherine, have you completely lost it?

00:03:01Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?

00:03:03You better apologize right now.

00:03:07Catherine,

00:03:07what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?

00:03:11Maybe we never should have taken you in.

00:03:13Me causing trouble?

00:03:16Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?

00:03:19She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.

00:03:22I pull out my phone and play the recording.

00:03:25Jolene paid us to get rid of you.

00:03:27The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.

00:03:31No!

00:03:32It must be fake!

00:03:34Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?

00:03:37Or maybe call the police?

00:03:38No! No!

00:03:39You can't call the cops, Catherine!

00:03:41I'm sorry!

00:03:42I'm the one who should leave this place!

00:03:45Catherine, Jolene's apologized.

00:03:47Just drop it!

00:03:48It's either her or me.

00:03:51Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.

00:03:54In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.

00:03:57So why should I hold on to them?

00:03:59Just as I step outside,

00:04:01a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.

00:04:05Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?

00:04:08Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.

00:04:10I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.

00:04:17The car glides into the Warren estate.

00:04:20The most powerful family in Ardwell.

00:04:26Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.

00:04:33Is everything settled?

00:04:34Yes, I've cut ties.

00:04:36From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.

00:04:38Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.

00:04:40All right.

00:04:41But I have two conditions.

00:04:43First, I need a complete medical lab.

00:04:45Second, our relationship is strictly professional.

00:04:48Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:54But keep this in mind.

00:04:57If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...

00:05:01My medical skills won't disappoint you.

00:05:04Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.

00:05:06Buy whatever you need.

00:05:08Don't hold back.

00:05:09I take the black card.

00:05:10A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.

00:05:13Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.

00:05:16Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.

00:05:18I enter the room Liam arranges for me.

00:05:21This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.

00:05:24Ironic, isn't it?

00:05:25A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.

00:05:29I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.

00:05:34Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.

00:05:37Where did you run off to?

00:05:39Come back.

00:05:40Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.

00:05:42Why are you still throwing a tantrum?

00:05:44Who picked you up?

00:05:45Stop making everything difficult.

00:05:48Just return home.

00:05:49If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.

00:05:53What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?

00:05:59Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?

00:06:03I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.

00:06:08I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.

00:06:13Get lost.

00:06:13Then I block them all without hesitation.

00:06:16That feels even better.

00:06:17This is how life should be.

00:06:18Logging out.

00:06:19I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.

00:06:25A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.

00:06:30Welcome back.

00:06:32Quietus.

00:06:32I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.

00:06:35The genius hacker Quietus.

00:06:38My phone rings.

00:06:40It's Gerald Douglas, my loyal admirer.

00:06:43Catherine, you're actually back?

00:06:45I can't believe it.

00:06:46I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.

00:06:48Good.

00:06:49Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.

00:06:52The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.

00:06:54It seems Liam is already investigating me.

00:06:57Let them dig.

00:06:59Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.

00:07:05The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.

00:07:15Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.

00:07:22Miss Brown, you're here just in time.

00:07:26I'll bring out the new styles for you.

00:07:30Catherine?

00:07:31What brings you here?

00:07:32The clothes here are quite expensive.

00:07:35Jolene, is this your sister?

00:07:36Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?

00:07:44Ring up everything I selected.

00:07:46The sales assistant's face goes pale.

00:07:48That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.

00:07:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?

00:07:56Watch out.

00:07:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.

00:08:01I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.

00:08:04What?

00:08:05I saw those first.

00:08:07Saw them first, but can't afford them?

00:08:10Maybe?

00:08:11Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?

00:08:14Jolene trembles with fury.

00:08:16I pay and walk out.

00:08:19I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction courses through me.

00:08:25After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.

00:08:30The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.

00:08:33I enter the hall on Liam's arm.

00:08:35I'm dressed in a wine-red gown, my makeup refined but understated.

00:08:40Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.

00:08:44I am Liam Warren's date.

00:08:46The most powerful man in Ardwell.

00:08:48All eyes are drawn to us.

00:08:52Is that Mr. Warren?

00:08:54He actually showed up.

00:08:56Who's that woman with him?

00:08:58I've never seen her before.

00:09:00She's stunning.

00:09:02Is she from some notable family?

00:09:04I ignore the whispers.

00:09:06My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.

00:09:09Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm.

00:09:13Playing the part of a cherished woman.

00:09:15But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.

00:09:18Austin freezes too.

00:09:20He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.

00:09:26Catherine, what are you doing here?

00:09:28And with Mr. Warren?

00:09:30Where I go isn't any of your business.

00:09:32Who do you think you are to me?

00:09:37I'm your brother.

00:09:41I let out a cold laugh.

00:09:43Brother?

00:09:44When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,

00:09:47did you remember you were my brother then?

00:09:50Catherine is with me.

00:09:55His words are dripping with authority.

00:09:59Jolene approaches, her expression dark.

00:10:03Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?

00:10:05You never mentioned anything.

00:10:07And didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?

00:10:11I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.

00:10:16Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.

00:10:19Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.

00:10:22None of that is any of your business.

00:10:25Why exactly should I update you about my personal life?

00:10:29Jolene's expression falters, her eyes glistening with tears.

00:10:34Here she goes again.

00:10:36Catherine, that's not what I meant.

00:10:40Catherine, where have you been?

00:10:42Mr. Fulton, wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

00:10:45We're not that familiar.

00:10:48Do you have any idea what kind of man Liam is?

00:10:52Are you doing this just to retaliate against the Brown family?

00:10:59Do you honestly think I'd waste that kind of energy on you?

00:11:05I cut ties with the Browns, and I meant every word.

00:11:10Excuse me.

00:11:16I hear whispers rising behind me.

00:11:19Did you catch that?

00:11:21Liam said it himself.

00:11:23She's with him.

00:11:24This has never happened before, has it?

00:11:29Wait, Catherine?

00:11:30Catherine, isn't that the Brown daughter who was swapped at birth

00:11:34and brought back from some remote place?

00:11:38Judging by Jolene's little comments,

00:11:40the Brown family drama might be more complicated than we thought.

00:11:44Look at Deccan's face.

00:11:46Is he starting to regret dumping her?

00:11:49I don't look back,

00:11:51but I know Jolene's expression must be priceless right now.

00:11:55The auction begins.

00:11:57One luxurious item after another is presented on stage.

00:12:00Beautiful work of art.

00:12:02A piece of history.

00:12:03A masterpiece.

00:12:11Dazzling.

00:12:12Priceless.

00:12:14But I've never been interested in jewelry.

00:12:16No matter how valuable,

00:12:18they're just stones.

00:12:19Just then,

00:12:20I hear a familiar voice.

00:12:22It's Jolene.

00:12:23Austin.

00:12:24Austin,

00:12:25this necklace is stunning.

00:12:26I really like it.

00:12:30Austin understands immediately.

00:12:32His eyes grow determined.

00:12:35Huh.

00:12:35Same as always.

00:12:37Whatever Jolene wants,

00:12:38Austin gives her.

00:12:44Once I was jealous.

00:12:46Now,

00:12:47I just find it ridiculous.

00:12:50Going once.

00:12:52Going twice.

00:12:53Just as the host prepares to declare it sold,

00:12:56a deep voice echoes from the back.

00:12:5850 million.

00:13:0050 million.

00:13:01Sold.

00:13:03Congratulations,

00:13:03Mr. Warren.

00:13:05Liam walks up to the stage

00:13:07and claims the necklace.

00:13:13Then,

00:13:14to everyone's astonishment,

00:13:16he returns to me

00:13:17and fastens the necklace

00:13:19around my neck.

00:13:24It looks good on you.

00:13:27Thank you.

00:13:28I really like it.

00:13:30The sight stings Jolene's eyes.

00:13:33Even Declan can't seem to look away from me.

00:13:36I reach up and touch the cool gem against my neck.

00:13:4250 million for a necklace.

00:13:44Liam really doesn't hold back.

00:13:47After the auction wraps up,

00:13:48I wander to the dessert table alone.

00:13:51Catherine,

00:13:52you really are something.

00:13:53A few days away

00:13:54and you've already hooked onto Liam.

00:13:56Nothing as impressive

00:13:57as your lifelong mastery

00:13:58of acting sweet and pitiful.

00:14:00Why do you always target me?

00:14:02Cut it out.

00:14:03There's no audience here,

00:14:04so no need to pretend.

00:14:06Jolene spots Declan approaching

00:14:07and intentionally bumps onto me,

00:14:09splashing juice onto her own dress.

00:14:12Catherine,

00:14:12even if you dislike me,

00:14:14isn't this too much?

00:14:15Throwing juice on me?

00:14:17What happened?

00:14:18Declan,

00:14:19it's okay.

00:14:20I must have upset Catherine.

00:14:22Catherine,

00:14:23you still haven't grown up.

00:14:24Jolene is your sister.

00:14:28I pick up a glass of red wine

00:14:30and flick my wrist,

00:14:32sending the whole glass

00:14:33onto Jolene's dress.

00:14:34There,

00:14:35that's something I actually did.

00:14:37And I only take responsibility

00:14:39for my own actions.

00:14:40Jolene is stunned.

00:14:43Declan freezes.

00:14:45Seems I arrived just after

00:14:46all the excitement ending.

00:14:48Quite the lesson

00:14:49in the Brown family's manners today.

00:14:52Mr. Warren,

00:14:53this is

00:14:53a misunderstanding.

00:14:56Misunderstanding?

00:14:57There are security cameras here.

00:15:01Review them

00:15:02if clarity is needed.

00:15:04Whispers erupt around them.

00:15:10Jolene's face

00:15:11goes from scarlet

00:15:12to ghostly pale.

00:15:14Let's go.

00:15:16The atmosphere here

00:15:17is suffocating.

00:15:18A fierce satisfaction

00:15:19rising in my chest.

00:15:21This time,

00:15:22I don't have to hold back anymore.

00:15:23Back in the Brown family,

00:15:24I always tried to keep the peace.

00:15:26And all it got me

00:15:27was them pushing harder

00:15:28every time.

00:15:28Now,

00:15:29no one could step on me again.

00:15:36The following morning,

00:15:38I walk into the living area

00:15:40and notice Liam

00:15:41is already awake.

00:15:54Good morning.

00:15:56Morning.

00:15:58I head to the kitchen

00:15:59to prepare the herbal mix.

00:16:05Just then,

00:16:06Liam's friend arrives.

00:16:14Is she the mysterious beauty

00:16:16who stunned everyone

00:16:17last night?

00:16:18That's Catherine Brown,

00:16:19my new personal doctor.

00:16:22You're serious?

00:16:24His skepticism is loud enough

00:16:26that I can't ignore it.

00:16:28Mr. Moreno,

00:16:30perhaps you should take things easy.

00:16:32Your dark under eyes

00:16:33and shortness of breath

00:16:34suggest your vitality

00:16:35is running low.

00:16:36Winfred's face

00:16:37flushes immediately.

00:16:38This touches on a man's pride.

00:16:40What nonsense are you spouting?

00:16:42Miss Brown,

00:16:43I'm not one to judge

00:16:44by appearances.

00:16:45But Liam's condition is severe.

00:16:47Many top experts

00:16:48have been stumped.

00:16:49And you?

00:16:49I'm not bothered.

00:16:51I've faced this kind of doubt

00:16:53many times before.

00:16:55We'll see soon enough.

00:16:57Winred,

00:16:57maybe you ought to let

00:16:59Dr. Brown give you a prescription.

00:17:02Liam,

00:17:03are you kidding me?

00:17:04This girl

00:17:04is not just some girl.

00:17:05She's Dr. Brown.

00:17:07Right now,

00:17:08she's the one keeping me alive.

00:17:09He then turns to me.

00:17:11Can you really fix me?

00:17:15Yes.

00:17:1730 minutes later,

00:17:18I begin the first acupuncture session.

00:17:21Liam pulls his shirt up,

00:17:23exposing his toned chest.

00:17:26I pull out the silver needles

00:17:28and insert them

00:17:29with speed and precision.

00:17:34When the last needle is inserted,

00:17:37Liam's body shivers.

00:17:39And he spits out

00:17:40dark red clotted blood.

00:17:46What did you just do to him,

00:17:48Dr. Brown?

00:17:48How are you feeling now?

00:17:55I feel great.

00:17:57Lighter than I have

00:17:58in a long time.

00:17:59Don't let yourself

00:18:00get too stressed.

00:18:01And most importantly,

00:18:03you'll need to prioritize

00:18:04rest and abstinence.

00:18:07Understood, Dr. Brown.

00:18:08I'll take your advice seriously.

00:18:10Winfred leans in

00:18:11and quietly asks

00:18:12if I can help

00:18:13with his health.

00:18:17I go back to my room

00:18:18and return

00:18:19with a bottle of pills.

00:18:21These are pills

00:18:22for male vitality.

00:18:23One bottle costs

00:18:25$100,000.

00:18:26$100,000?

00:18:27Are these pills

00:18:29made of solid gold?

00:18:30The ingredients are rare

00:18:31and the process

00:18:32is complicated.

00:18:34Quality always demands

00:18:35a premium price.

00:18:36Winfred reluctantly pays.

00:18:38A sports car

00:18:39can be repaired,

00:18:40but if your health fails,

00:18:42no sum of money

00:18:43will grant you

00:18:43a second chance.

00:18:45The following morning,

00:18:47just as I prepare to leave,

00:18:48my phone buzzles

00:18:49with a call from Austin.

00:18:53Catherine,

00:18:53come back here right now.

00:18:54What is it?

00:18:55You'll find out

00:18:56when you get here.

00:18:57I realize that

00:18:58for the sake of my own peace,

00:19:00cutting all connections

00:19:00with the Brown family

00:19:02is necessary.

00:19:04The mood in the living room

00:19:05is thick with tension.

00:19:11Look who's back.

00:19:13How did you sink

00:19:14so low at your age,

00:19:15becoming someone's mistress?

00:19:18Catherine,

00:19:19I'm only trying to help you.

00:19:21I'm afraid you're being misled.

00:19:23Who I decide to be with

00:19:25is my own business.

00:19:27It doesn't concern your family.

00:19:29You're a Brown!

00:19:32Everything you do

00:19:33stains our family's name!

00:19:37Catherine, seriously,

00:19:38do you think Liam

00:19:39would ever give you

00:19:40the time of day?

00:19:41Are you all finished?

00:19:43First,

00:19:44Liam and I have a strictly

00:19:46doctor-patient relationship.

00:19:48Second,

00:19:48even if there were something else,

00:19:50it's none of your business.

00:19:52And don't forget

00:19:53that I am no longer

00:19:54part of your family.

00:19:55You said you cut ties,

00:19:57so give back

00:19:58the Brown group's shares.

00:20:02Those shares came

00:20:03from Grandpa.

00:20:05You don't have

00:20:06a single right

00:20:07to any of it.

00:20:08I pull out my phone

00:20:09and show them the screen.

00:20:11Since I stepped in,

00:20:13I've been recording

00:20:14all your insults,

00:20:15threats,

00:20:16and schemes

00:20:16to grab the shares.

00:20:18Keep pushing me,

00:20:19and I won't hesitate

00:20:20to hand this over

00:20:21to the press

00:20:22and the law.

00:20:25I put my phone away,

00:20:26feeling nothing.

00:20:28I used to put up

00:20:30with everything

00:20:30you threw at me.

00:20:32Now it's your turn

00:20:33to taste

00:20:34what it feels like

00:20:35to be on the other end

00:20:36of a threat.

00:20:39I leave the Brown family home

00:20:41and prepare to go back.

00:20:46Suddenly,

00:20:47a voice calls out,

00:20:48Catherine,

00:20:49is that really you?

00:20:50Where have you been hiding?

00:20:51I look at the woman

00:20:52before me.

00:20:54She's nearly 50,

00:20:56her face lined

00:20:57with wrinkles,

00:20:58her expression

00:20:59mean and petty.

00:21:00What do you want?

00:21:02You must have money

00:21:03if you're surviving

00:21:04this well.

00:21:04My son needs school fees,

00:21:06and you owe me

00:21:07half a million.

00:21:08If you don't pay up,

00:21:09I'll make a scene

00:21:10outside your place

00:21:11every single day.

00:21:13If you need cash,

00:21:14ask your real daughter,

00:21:15Jolene.

00:21:16I raised you

00:21:17all those years,

00:21:18so you should

00:21:19compensate me.

00:21:20you ungrateful brat.

00:21:22Stay out of my way.

00:21:24Otherwise,

00:21:25I won't hesitate

00:21:25to involve the police

00:21:26and reopening the case

00:21:27about you switching infants.

00:21:29You don't do anything rash.

00:21:31I'll be going now.

00:21:33Bridget scurries off

00:21:34in panic.

00:21:38Just then,

00:21:40a sleek black Rolls Royce

00:21:41glides to a stop

00:21:42beside me.

00:21:44The window lowers,

00:21:46revealing Liam's

00:21:47handsome face.

00:21:48Do you need a hand?

00:21:50No,

00:21:51it's nothing serious.

00:21:51I've already taken care of it.

00:21:54Get in.

00:21:55It's nearly impossible

00:21:56to catch a taxi here.

00:21:58I hesitate,

00:21:59but eventually get into the car.

00:22:01Bridget's appearance

00:22:02reminds me of one thing.

00:22:04The Brown family's

00:22:05troubles aren't over.

00:22:06That woman's greed

00:22:07is bottomless.

00:22:08She won't let this go.

00:22:10But that's fine.

00:22:11I'm no longer

00:22:12that little girl who

00:22:13let others push her around.

00:22:16anyone who wants

00:22:17to come after me

00:22:18had better think twice.

00:22:22On the weekend,

00:22:23Gerard asks to meet me

00:22:25at Harborview Genie,

00:22:26a popular restaurant.

00:22:31Catherine?

00:22:32Catherine?

00:22:32I turn around,

00:22:34and my eyes fall on Jalene,

00:22:36standing with the Browns

00:22:37and the Fultons.

00:22:38Did you hear

00:22:39we'd be here

00:22:40and decide to show up

00:22:41just to cause a scene?

00:22:42Mr. Brown,

00:22:43I'm here for the food.

00:22:46Just then,

00:22:47a clear voice

00:22:48cuts through the tension.

00:22:51Miss Catherine Brown,

00:22:52you're here.

00:22:53Welcome.

00:22:54Please follow me.

00:22:55Everyone stares in shock

00:22:56as I walk toward

00:22:57the most private,

00:22:58rarely accessible suite

00:22:59in the entire restaurant.

00:23:02How is she getting in there?

00:23:03There must be some mistake.

00:23:06I push open the suite door,

00:23:08and Gerard immediately

00:23:09rises from his seat.

00:23:12Catherine,

00:23:13you made it.

00:23:14Gerard tells me

00:23:15his uncle has been

00:23:15diagnosed with a brain tumor.

00:23:17He says the required surgery

00:23:19carries an extremely high risk.

00:23:25Start with this medication.

00:23:27Come back in a week

00:23:28for a follow-up.

00:23:28We'll reassess then.

00:23:34Thank you, Catherine.

00:23:36I was sure

00:23:36you'd have a solution.

00:23:38After the meal,

00:23:39Gerard leans forward

00:23:40and asks if I need

00:23:41help with anything.

00:23:44I want to buy a house.

00:23:45It doesn't have to be big,

00:23:47but it must be

00:23:48extremely quiet

00:23:48and private,

00:23:49with top-tier security.

00:23:51I'll handle it.

00:23:52I'll find something

00:23:52perfect for you.

00:23:53Oh, and you're starting

00:23:54at Araylis University

00:23:55next Monday, right?

00:23:56I'm going to study.

00:23:58Medical school.

00:23:59You need to study medicine?

00:24:01You've got to be kidding me.

00:24:03I'm getting a formal degree

00:24:04and taking care

00:24:05of some personal business.

00:24:06Campus life

00:24:07isn't a bad experience

00:24:08after all.

00:24:11The manager hands me

00:24:12an exclusive premium

00:24:13membership card

00:24:14saying all my expenses here

00:24:16will be on the house

00:24:17from now on.

00:24:19I glance over at Gerard

00:24:20and he breaks into a grin.

00:24:22Don't refuse it.

00:24:24This is our business,

00:24:25so just enjoy it.

00:24:29Fine.

00:24:30After being chased away

00:24:32from my private suite,

00:24:33Jolene drags herself

00:24:34to her family's box.

00:24:46Jolene, are you okay?

00:24:49Mom, I'm fine.

00:24:51I just stepped out

00:24:52to see who Catherine

00:24:53was meeting.

00:24:53I was worried about her,

00:24:55but she had me pushed away.

00:24:58What?

00:24:59How dare she treat you

00:25:01that way?

00:25:02That ungrateful girl!

00:25:04Don't jump to conclusions, Mom.

00:25:07I saw it too.

00:25:09The manager was treating

00:25:10Catherine with a lot of respect.

00:25:13Yes.

00:25:13That man had an aura

00:25:15you can't fake.

00:25:16Catherine is clearly

00:25:17in the high circles.

00:25:19No wonder she's trying

00:25:20to distance herself from us.

00:25:28Pathetic and disgraceful.

00:25:32who knows what kind of company

00:25:34she's keeping now.

00:25:36Jolene's heart swells

00:25:37with secret satisfaction.

00:25:39I have burned my bridges

00:25:40with the family for good.

00:25:43She is the Brown family's

00:25:45one and only daughter now.

00:25:48The dinner finally ends

00:25:49and the two families part way

00:25:51at the restaurant entrance.

00:25:53When an unexpected

00:25:54grating voice

00:25:55rings out behind Jolene,

00:25:57she turn around

00:25:58and her smile freezes.

00:26:00It's her.

00:26:02Jolene!

00:26:03My dear daughter!

00:26:05Finally!

00:26:06I've found you!

00:26:07Her blood runs cold.

00:26:11Jolene,

00:26:11your younger brother

00:26:13needs money for school.

00:26:15Maybe you could help us out?

00:26:20I don't have time

00:26:21for this ridiculous farce.

00:26:22Take this

00:26:23and never show your face

00:26:24around me again.

00:26:26Jolene,

00:26:26this isn't nearly enough.

00:26:28The tuition alone

00:26:29is a hundred thousand.

00:26:30Her hands tremble

00:26:31with unbridled rage.

00:26:33This wretched woman

00:26:34just won't know her place.

00:26:35I don't know you!

00:26:37My parents already

00:26:38paid you enough

00:26:39to cut ties

00:26:39all those years ago!

00:26:45I can't let this go on.

00:26:47I need to find a way

00:26:48to get rid of this problem

00:26:49for good.

00:26:51The day I've been waiting for

00:26:52has finally arrived.

00:26:54My first day reporting

00:26:55to Aurarius University.

00:27:09Jolene,

00:27:10is this your sister?

00:27:11Since when

00:27:12does Avalius University

00:27:13let random nobodies walk in?

00:27:15Well,

00:27:16isn't this a lovely coincidence,

00:27:17Jolene?

00:27:18Looks like we're going

00:27:19to be classmates.

00:27:20Classmates?

00:27:21You and me?

00:27:22Don't be ridiculous.

00:27:25The lecture bell

00:27:26chimes sharp and clear

00:27:28and Professor Lambert Carter

00:27:29steps through the door.

00:27:31He's a living legend

00:27:32in the global medical field,

00:27:34the heart of this school's

00:27:35medical program.

00:27:36He turns to the class

00:27:38and poses an extremely complex

00:27:40peer-reviewed medical question.

00:27:43The entire lecture hall

00:27:45falls dead silent,

00:27:46not a single student

00:27:48daring to speak up.

00:27:51Young lady,

00:27:53please tell us what you think.

00:27:54I shut my notebook calmly.

00:27:56No trace of panic

00:27:57in my movements

00:27:58and stand up.

00:27:59I lay out my analysis

00:28:00clearly and concisely,

00:28:02citing cutting-edge research,

00:28:04clinical data,

00:28:05and real surgical cases

00:28:06effortlessly.

00:28:09She's incredible.

00:28:10Total beauty and brains.

00:28:12Who even is she?

00:28:15Jolene's face burns

00:28:16with jealousy,

00:28:17her grip tight on her pen.

00:28:20When the final bell rings,

00:28:22I walk out of the lecture hall.

00:28:24Jolene steps in front of me

00:28:26with Paige and Brenna.

00:28:28Catherine,

00:28:29just a few days away,

00:28:30and suddenly you're the one

00:28:32catching everyone's attention.

00:28:33Jolene,

00:28:35she's probably pulling stunts

00:28:36she'd never admit out loud.

00:28:38Exactly.

00:28:39Everyone whispers

00:28:40she knows how to charm

00:28:41the right people.

00:28:42Is that all?

00:28:44Now,

00:28:45move aside,

00:28:46mutt.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:50Paige steps forward

00:28:51to push me.

00:28:53I'm not going to warn you twice.

00:28:55Hands to yourselves.

00:29:00Catherine,

00:29:01you can't just touch

00:29:02people like that.

00:29:03Jolene,

00:29:04keep your little gang in check.

00:29:05If they open their mouths

00:29:06like that again,

00:29:07next time won't be so friendly.

00:29:09Watch your tone.

00:29:11You're messing with

00:29:12the Brown family's reputation.

00:29:15The Brown family?

00:29:17That's your problem,

00:29:18not mine.

00:29:20Stop pretending.

00:29:21It's pathetic.

00:29:23I turn and walk away.

00:29:31I return to the Warren mansion

00:29:33and find Liam in the living room.

00:29:37You were out?

00:29:39Yeah.

00:29:40I stopped by Aurelius University

00:29:42to check in.

00:29:43Also took a look at a new place

00:29:45while I was out.

00:29:46You're moving out?

00:29:47Yeah.

00:29:48Staying here long term

00:29:49isn't practical.

00:29:50Your treatment has leveled out.

00:29:52It won't interfere

00:29:53with your progress.

00:29:54Where's the new place?

00:29:55I offer the bill

00:29:56building and unit number

00:29:57of Sterling Haven

00:29:58without hesitation.

00:29:59Then I prepare

00:30:00a medicinal shower.

00:30:02The water warmed perfectly.

00:30:05A thin mist

00:30:06curling through the room.

00:30:09It's ready?

00:30:10Liam walks toward

00:30:11the treatment area,

00:30:12unbuttoning his shirt

00:30:14as he moves.

00:30:15His long fingers

00:30:16loosen the fabric,

00:30:18revealing toned muscles

00:30:19and defined contours.

00:30:22Take the pants off too.

00:30:27What's the matter?

00:30:29Feeling shy now?

00:30:30After some hesitation,

00:30:31Liam strips down

00:30:32to his briefs

00:30:33and eases himself

00:30:34into the steaming water.

00:30:36Though composed moments ago,

00:30:39my eyes flicker briefly.

00:30:40It's not like

00:30:41this is the first time

00:30:43I've treated him.

00:30:44Why am I so flustered?

00:30:47Get it together, Catherine.

00:30:49You're a doctor.

00:30:49Stay professional.

00:30:51Don't let a handsome face

00:30:52and a good body

00:30:53throw you off.

00:30:55The next day,

00:30:56I head to the lab

00:30:57to find Lambert.

00:31:00Perfect timing.

00:31:01I've been wrestling

00:31:01with this data all morning.

00:31:02Come check this out.

00:31:08The two of us

00:31:09slip effortlessly

00:31:10into a heated discussion.

00:31:20Professor Carter,

00:31:21sorry to interrupt,

00:31:22but there's something

00:31:22I'm unsure about saying.

00:31:23If you have something to say,

00:31:25just say it.

00:31:26Professor,

00:31:27I know you prize real skill,

00:31:29but Kathleen is not

00:31:31who you think she is.

00:31:32She never attended

00:31:33a proper university.

00:31:34How could she grasp

00:31:35complex medical research?

00:31:37I'm afraid you're being deceived.

00:31:39Enough!

00:31:40Jolene,

00:31:41I don't know what you're trying

00:31:42to do with these accusations,

00:31:43but I've seen enough

00:31:44to know true talent

00:31:46when it's in front of me.

00:31:47Catherine identified the error

00:31:48the moment she looked at it.

00:31:50Most PhD candidates

00:31:51wouldn't even catch this mistake

00:31:53the first time around.

00:31:54Tell me,

00:31:55how could anyone

00:31:56possibly fake

00:31:57that level of understanding?

00:32:03Professor Carter,

00:32:04I...

00:32:05I know true talent

00:32:06when I see it.

00:32:07I don't need

00:32:08your commentary.

00:32:09Now,

00:32:10please step outside.

00:32:20In that moment,

00:32:21I knew I'd found someone

00:32:22who saw me,

00:32:23not the lies

00:32:24they spread about me.

00:32:32hey,

00:32:34I'm Catherine Brown.

00:32:35Just as I walked

00:32:37into the classroom

00:32:37and took my seat,

00:32:38I noticed the girl

00:32:40next to me,

00:32:41her cheek marked

00:32:42by a dark birthmark.

00:32:44Hi,

00:32:45I'm

00:32:46Claudia Norris.

00:32:51Well,

00:32:52well,

00:32:52what do we have here?

00:32:54One caught attention

00:32:55by pure chance

00:32:56and the other,

00:32:57well,

00:32:57the problem's pretty obvious.

00:32:59The snickling spread

00:33:00through the classroom

00:33:00in an instant.

00:33:01Every gaze nailed

00:33:03onto the two of us.

00:33:04Oh,

00:33:04come on,

00:33:05everyone.

00:33:06Don't be so harsh.

00:33:08Professor Carter

00:33:09thinks the world

00:33:09of Catherine.

00:33:13So she's really

00:33:14riding Professor Carter's

00:33:15coattails

00:33:15to get into med school?

00:33:16How pathetic.

00:33:18Oh,

00:33:19wow,

00:33:19Catherine,

00:33:20your shoes,

00:33:20they're the exact same

00:33:22as Jolene's.

00:33:23Come on,

00:33:24Catherine,

00:33:24you actually showed up

00:33:26wearing fake shoes?

00:33:27That's bold.

00:33:30Still,

00:33:31it's embarrassing as hell.

00:33:38All eyes

00:33:39in that instant

00:33:40were pinned on my feet.

00:33:44I feel like being judged

00:33:45in a high society party.

00:33:47The murmur in the room

00:33:49quickly grows

00:33:50into a loud buzz.

00:33:52Most of them

00:33:53were convinced

00:33:54the shoes on my feet

00:33:55were fake.

00:33:57Hey,

00:33:57Catherine,

00:33:58if you like those shoes,

00:33:59I don't mind lending you mine.

00:34:01Wearing fakes is bad.

00:34:04Thanks,

00:34:04but I'm pretty selective.

00:34:06I don't wear

00:34:07other people's shoes.

00:34:08Besides,

00:34:09we still don't actually know

00:34:11who's rocking the fakes,

00:34:13do we?

00:34:14I slowed my movements

00:34:16deliberately,

00:34:17lifted my foot,

00:34:18and aimed the heel

00:34:19straight at the crowd.

00:34:20Is that real?

00:34:22Of course.

00:34:23Here's what I know.

00:34:24Every pair designed

00:34:25by Future's lead designer,

00:34:27Alan Lewis,

00:34:29comes with a unique

00:34:30serial number

00:34:32and the designer's initials.

00:34:33A.L.

00:34:34engraved on the inside heel.

00:34:36It can't be.

00:34:37But it is.

00:34:42Jolene,

00:34:42why don't you have a look

00:34:43inside your own heel?

00:34:45I'm not scared!

00:34:46She raises her foot

00:34:47and turns the inside

00:34:48of the heel

00:34:48toward everyone.

00:34:49It's empty.

00:34:50Oh!

00:34:54Impossible!

00:34:56My shoes are real!

00:34:57The marks are just

00:34:58worn down from use!

00:34:59You can barely see it now!

00:35:01Oh, really?

00:35:03Future's anti-counterfeit system

00:35:04is one of the most

00:35:05advanced in the world.

00:35:07Unless the shoes

00:35:07are completely wrecked,

00:35:09the serial number

00:35:10doesn't just disappear.

00:35:12Want to check right now?

00:35:13No!

00:35:13That won't be necessary!

00:35:14I must have just

00:35:15made a mistake!

00:35:17You wanted to embarrass me

00:35:19in front of everyone?

00:35:20Jolene,

00:35:21you seem to forget.

00:35:23What I do best

00:35:24is tear apart

00:35:24cheap facades like yours.

00:35:26After school,

00:35:27Jolene storms out of campus,

00:35:29fuming.

00:35:30Austin is there

00:35:31to pick her up.

00:35:37Jolene,

00:35:37what's going on?

00:35:38Did someone mess with you?

00:35:40Austin!

00:35:41Those limited edition

00:35:42shoes you got for me!

00:35:45Catherine showed up

00:35:46wearing the exact same pair

00:35:47and accused mine

00:35:48of being fake!

00:35:51Showtime.

00:35:57Catherine,

00:35:58wait!

00:36:04What gives you the right

00:36:05to accuse Jolene's shoes

00:36:06of be fake?

00:36:11Just take the shoes

00:36:12to the store

00:36:13for verification.

00:36:14Verify them?

00:36:15Who do you think

00:36:16you are?

00:36:25Lucky for me,

00:36:27Future's Black Gold members

00:36:28get priority verification.

00:36:31The Future Black card?

00:36:33How the hell

00:36:33does she have that?

00:36:34Austin,

00:36:35let's just get this

00:36:36over with!

00:36:43No, forget it.

00:36:44This isn't worth the headache.

00:36:45Let's just go home.

00:37:01What's going on here?

00:37:04Liam gets out of the car,

00:37:06moving with authority.

00:37:11They look at him nervously,

00:37:13like rats looking at a cat.

00:37:16Mr. Warren!

00:37:18Is everything alright?

00:37:20Mr. Warren,

00:37:21it's nothing serious.

00:37:23Catherine just insisted

00:37:25my shoes weren't real.

00:37:30Do you need any help?

00:37:32No, it's fine.

00:37:33Nothing to worry about.

00:37:35Mr. Warren,

00:37:36this is a private

00:37:37family matter.

00:37:38Family matter?

00:37:40If Catherine's involved,

00:37:42it's my business too.

00:37:47Let's go.

00:37:48Dinner's waiting.

00:37:56Your turn is over.

00:37:58Fake shoes

00:37:59always end up

00:37:59rubbing the heel raw.

00:38:01You might want to

00:38:02change yours.

00:38:12I feel a quiet thrill

00:38:13of satisfaction.

00:38:14You thought you could

00:38:15humiliate me with fake shoes?

00:38:17Look how that backfired.

00:38:20Back in the Brown family,

00:38:21I always had to bite my tongue

00:38:23and step aside.

00:38:25Now, with Liam backing me up,

00:38:29I have nothing to fear.

00:38:40The next afternoon,

00:38:42I wheel a small suitcase

00:38:43to my new home,

00:38:45Sterling Haven.

00:38:46Just as I step out of the car,

00:38:48Catherine?

00:38:49a familiar voice

00:38:50calls out behind me.

00:38:53I turn and see

00:38:54Declan and Jolene

00:38:55standing not far away.

00:38:57What's going on here?

00:38:59Why are you at this place?

00:39:01Catherine,

00:39:02why are you hauling

00:39:03a suitcase here?

00:39:04Are you sure you haven't

00:39:05gotten the wrong place?

00:39:07This is Sterling Haven.

00:39:09If you don't want

00:39:09the security guards

00:39:10kicking you out,

00:39:11you better leave.

00:39:12I live here.

00:39:14So yeah,

00:39:14I'm pretty sure

00:39:15I know my own address.

00:39:16Your home?

00:39:17Wait,

00:39:18are you working here?

00:39:19Like, on the staff?

00:39:20I can't help but laugh.

00:39:22Jolene,

00:39:23your imagination is wild.

00:39:25So tell me,

00:39:26what about you two?

00:39:27Are you here to apply

00:39:28for janitor

00:39:29or security jobs?

00:39:30Declan and I are here

00:39:32looking for a place

00:39:33to settle down.

00:39:34Our wedding apartment,

00:39:35actually.

00:39:37I calmly reach

00:39:38into my bag

00:39:39and pull out

00:39:40an access card.

00:39:43Tapping it

00:39:44against the reader.

00:39:47A beep confirms access.

00:39:52Declan and Jolene

00:39:53freeze in shock.

00:39:57Just moved into

00:39:58Sterling Haven

00:39:59and the silence

00:40:00of the night

00:40:01was shattered.

00:40:04There's a race

00:40:05tomorrow evening.

00:40:06The prize is huge.

00:40:07Feeling the itch?

00:40:09Who's racing?

00:40:11The same arrogant

00:40:12group of wealthy

00:40:13young men.

00:40:14They've been throwing

00:40:15challenges at Evora.

00:40:17Oh,

00:40:19and the Brown family

00:40:20will be there too.

00:40:21What's the prize?

00:40:23A million dollars

00:40:25plus a limited

00:40:26edition sports car.

00:40:27Send me the details.

00:40:31Since they're throwing

00:40:32themselves at me,

00:40:33I see no reason

00:40:33to refuse.

00:40:38Four in the afternoon,

00:40:39I drive towards

00:40:40the racetrack

00:40:41in the suburb.

00:40:56I sign that name.

00:40:58the one they both dread

00:40:59and go mad over.

00:41:05Oh,

00:41:06it's Evora!

00:41:07Our idol Evora

00:41:08has arrived!

00:41:11Evora?

00:41:12It's probably

00:41:13just someone pretending.

00:41:19She wouldn't show up

00:41:20for a small race

00:41:20like this.

00:41:29Just then,

00:41:30that flashy blue

00:41:31GT-R

00:41:32pulled up

00:41:32right in front of me.

00:41:36Catherine?

00:41:38What are you doing here?

00:41:40This isn't a playground

00:41:41for careless drivers.

00:41:45If trash like you

00:41:46is allowed here,

00:41:47why shouldn't I be?

00:41:52Explain yourself!

00:41:57as if I'm going to.

00:42:01As expected,

00:42:03he got angry

00:42:03out of embarrassment,

00:42:05resorting to such

00:42:05underhanded,

00:42:06pathetic tactics.

00:42:08but he can't touch me.

00:42:10Laying hands

00:42:11on someone in public?

00:42:12That's a bad look.

00:42:13Let go!

00:42:14Don't you know

00:42:15who I am?

00:42:19Whoever you are,

00:42:20if you touch

00:42:21Catherine again,

00:42:23you'll regret it.

00:42:27We'll settle this

00:42:28on the race course.

00:42:29Hopefully you don't

00:42:30crash out

00:42:31in the first round.

00:42:33The signal light

00:42:34blinks on,

00:42:35and the five engines

00:42:36roar to life.

00:42:37The green light

00:42:38flashes,

00:42:38and Jackson's

00:42:39GT-R

00:42:39shoots forward.

00:42:40At the first corner,

00:42:42I execute a drift

00:42:43unlike anything

00:42:44he's ever seen

00:42:45and pull ahead.

00:42:45The next stretch

00:42:46of the track

00:42:47turns into a full-on

00:42:48display of my skill.

00:42:55I flow through

00:42:56every bed

00:42:56as if I designed

00:42:57them myself.

00:43:00It's Yvera!

00:43:01She's really

00:43:02the legendary Yvera!

00:43:10My gray car

00:43:11shoots through

00:43:12the final stretch

00:43:13and crosses

00:43:14the finish line first.

00:43:28I push open

00:43:29the door

00:43:29and pull off

00:43:30my helmet,

00:43:30my ponytail

00:43:31swinging in the breeze.

00:43:35My face stays calm,

00:43:37showing no excitement.

00:43:48You...

00:43:49You're really Yvera?

00:43:54Tell me,

00:43:56who's the idiot now?

00:43:59So you were tricking us

00:44:01this whole time?

00:44:02On the day I returned,

00:44:03I told all of you

00:44:05I liked racing.

00:44:06but not a single

00:44:07one of you

00:44:08ever bothered

00:44:08to listen.

00:44:11I step around

00:44:12Jackston

00:44:13and walk off

00:44:13without looking back.

00:44:19I never wanted

00:44:20to flaunt

00:44:20being Yvera.

00:44:22But since you

00:44:23kept pushing,

00:44:24now you get to see

00:44:25who the real

00:44:25Catherine Brown

00:44:26really is.

00:44:50He drops the video

00:44:52into the group chat

00:44:53and tags Liam

00:44:54directly.

00:44:58Liam,

00:44:59you have to see this.

00:45:00I swear it'll

00:45:01knock you sideways.

00:45:02Please.

00:45:03Nothing on earth

00:45:04surprises Liam.

00:45:05What nonsense

00:45:06are you stirring up now?

00:45:14Liam opens the video,

00:45:16sees me stepping out

00:45:17of the gray car,

00:45:18and a flicker

00:45:19of real shock

00:45:20crosses eyes.

00:45:22It's her.

00:45:27Okay,

00:45:28I'm genuinely

00:45:28blown away.

00:45:29Liam,

00:45:30what kind of

00:45:31divine helper

00:45:31do you have

00:45:32in your life?

00:45:32This woman

00:45:33is pure magic.

00:45:34Told you.

00:45:35I knew even Liam

00:45:36couldn't stay calm

00:45:37after this.

00:45:54Catherine,

00:45:55just how much

00:45:56are you still hiding?

00:46:02The next day,

00:46:03I walk into the

00:46:04classroom.

00:46:06Catherine,

00:46:07I got you

00:46:08your favorite

00:46:08coffee.

00:46:09I smile

00:46:10and pull out

00:46:10a delicate

00:46:11porcelain bottle

00:46:12from my bag.

00:46:14Apply this

00:46:14ointment

00:46:15to the spot

00:46:15before bed.

00:46:17You should see

00:46:18results in about

00:46:19a month.

00:46:19Thank you so much,

00:46:20Catherine.

00:46:21Do you really

00:46:22think it will work?

00:46:23A mocking laugh

00:46:24cuts through the air.

00:46:25Consistency

00:46:26is the key.

00:46:27I'm confident

00:46:28it'll heal.

00:46:32Seriously?

00:46:33You actually

00:46:34think a homemade

00:46:34cream will magically

00:46:35make you beautiful?

00:46:36My eyes darken

00:46:37as I fix Paige

00:46:38with a piercing

00:46:39stare.

00:46:41Apologize.

00:46:42Why should I

00:46:43apologize?

00:46:44I'm just speaking

00:46:45the truth.

00:46:46Catherine,

00:46:47Paige can be

00:46:48a bit blunt.

00:46:49She didn't mean

00:46:50to be hurtful.

00:46:52Paige was only

00:46:53trying to warn you.

00:46:54The ointments

00:46:55you're handing out

00:46:56aren't officially

00:46:56approved.

00:46:57If Claudian's

00:46:58condition gets worse,

00:47:00that could cause

00:47:01a big problem.

00:47:02It's to heal,

00:47:03not harm.

00:47:04why do you

00:47:05jump to conclusions

00:47:06without a shred

00:47:07of proof?

00:47:12Tell me,

00:47:13have you ever

00:47:14actually tested

00:47:14these ointments

00:47:15yourself?

00:47:16Claudian,

00:47:17use your ointment

00:47:18without any worries.

00:47:19If anything happens,

00:47:20I will take full

00:47:21responsibility.

00:47:23Jolene Brown,

00:47:24my medical skills

00:47:25aren't something

00:47:26outers to question.

00:47:31Catherine,

00:47:32I believe in you.

00:47:34Just as the school

00:47:35day wraps up,

00:47:36rain suddenly begins

00:47:37pouring down

00:47:37in heavy sheets.

00:47:38I had anticipated

00:47:39this,

00:47:40so an umbrella

00:47:41is tucked safely

00:47:42in my bag.

00:47:43Pulling it out,

00:47:44I open it and

00:47:44step out into

00:47:45the downpour.

00:47:47Catherine,

00:47:48wait!

00:47:48Can I share

00:47:49your umbrella

00:47:49with you?

00:47:50No.

00:47:52I turn around

00:47:53and see Jolene

00:47:54huddled beneath

00:47:54my umbrella.

00:47:57Without another word,

00:47:58I turn and walk

00:47:59away.

00:47:59before long,

00:48:01the rain

00:48:02soaks her

00:48:02to the bone.

00:48:05Catherine,

00:48:06it's pouring

00:48:07out here.

00:48:07I just wanted

00:48:08to walk

00:48:09with you

00:48:09for a bit.

00:48:10Jolene is left

00:48:11standing there,

00:48:12stunned.

00:48:16I already

00:48:17said no.

00:48:17My umbrella's

00:48:18too small

00:48:19for two.

00:48:20And honestly,

00:48:21I'm not comfortable

00:48:22being that close

00:48:23to anyone.

00:48:24Jolene is furious.

00:48:25A sleek black

00:48:27car rolls

00:48:27to a slow

00:48:28stop at the

00:48:28gate.

00:48:29It's Austin's.

00:48:34Austin!

00:48:36Jolene?

00:48:37How did you

00:48:38get this soaked?

00:48:39Didn't you

00:48:39bring an umbrella?

00:48:40You'll catch

00:48:40a cold like this.

00:48:41He glances

00:48:42out the window

00:48:43just in time

00:48:44to see me

00:48:44walking past

00:48:45holding my umbrella.

00:48:47Catherine,

00:48:48you had an umbrella.

00:48:49Why didn't you

00:48:49share it with Jolene?

00:48:51I don't know.

00:48:52I don't know.

00:48:53I don't know.

00:48:54I don't know.

00:48:55I don't know.

00:48:57Do you really

00:48:58think we're

00:48:59close enough

00:48:59for that?

00:49:02Catherine!

00:49:03Jolene is

00:49:03family.

00:49:04Look at her.

00:49:05She's drenched.

00:49:06You had an umbrella

00:49:07and didn't even

00:49:07think to help her?

00:49:11Do you have

00:49:12any idea

00:49:13how cruel

00:49:13that looks?

00:49:14Exactly!

00:49:15Jolene's soaked

00:49:15because Catherine

00:49:16abandoned her.

00:49:17She went way

00:49:17too far!

00:49:19Before I speak,

00:49:20a nearby

00:49:21student steps in.

00:49:22Please.

00:49:23I saw Jolene

00:49:23give her umbrella

00:49:24to someone else

00:49:24just to look noble

00:49:25and then she tried

00:49:26to free float it

00:49:26off Catherine.

00:49:27Catherine didn't

00:49:28want to share,

00:49:29so what?

00:49:29Stopped trying

00:49:30to guilt trip her.

00:49:32So what?

00:49:33The rain was pouring.

00:49:34Sharing wouldn't

00:49:35kill her.

00:49:36Catherine's.

00:49:37Catherine's just

00:49:38being selfish.

00:49:39Paige, please.

00:49:39You don't even

00:49:40know what happened.

00:49:40Jolene gave her

00:49:41umbrella away

00:49:41just to look generous.

00:49:43Austin,

00:49:43that's not what happened.

00:49:45I only wanted

00:49:46to get closer to her.

00:49:48I didn't realize

00:49:49she disliked me so much.

00:49:50Keep your little

00:49:51performances away from me.

00:49:53Don't test me.

00:50:06In the classroom,

00:50:08I sit quietly

00:50:08at my desk,

00:50:09flipping through my notes.

00:50:10Catherine,

00:50:11I heard Jolene's

00:50:12really sick today.

00:50:13She didn't come to class.

00:50:14Rain and cold,

00:50:15it's pretty normal

00:50:15to feel under

00:50:16the weather afterward.

00:50:17A loud commotion

00:50:18erupts at the

00:50:18classroom entrance.

00:50:20Feel satisfied now,

00:50:22Catherine?

00:50:22Jolene's in the hospital

00:50:23with a high fever,

00:50:24all because you

00:50:25wouldn't share

00:50:25your stupid umbrella.

00:50:26I calmly shut

00:50:27my notebook

00:50:28and rise to my feet.

00:50:30A chilly,

00:50:31razor-thin smile

00:50:32forms on my lips.

00:50:34She's sick,

00:50:35and that's supposed

00:50:36to be my responsibility?

00:50:37Is this seriously

00:50:38your reaction?

00:50:39Jolene's hospitalized,

00:50:40and you're standing here

00:50:41tossing out sarcastic comments?

00:50:43And what exactly

00:50:43does her hospital sale

00:50:44have to do with me?

00:50:45Did I make her

00:50:46give away her umbrella?

00:50:47or did I physically

00:50:48send her into the storm?

00:50:50You!

00:50:51And honestly,

00:50:52if she were sick enough

00:50:52to be hospitalized,

00:50:54would she really have

00:50:55the energy to publicize

00:50:56it to the entire school?

00:50:58I asked her personally.

00:51:00Great.

00:51:00Tell me which hospital

00:51:02she's at.

00:51:02I'll arrange for

00:51:03top-tier specialists

00:51:04to check on her.

00:51:06I begin dialing,

00:51:07and Paige

00:51:08immediately panics.

00:51:10No!

00:51:10You don't have to do that!

00:51:12Jolene said

00:51:12she only needs rest.

00:51:16How did you figure out

00:51:17she was faking?

00:51:19I've watched her

00:51:20pull the same act

00:51:21more times

00:51:21than I can count.

00:51:23On the weekend,

00:51:25Claudian asks me

00:51:26to go shopping with her.

00:51:28We pause

00:51:29in front of dessert shop,

00:51:31across from

00:51:32a famous brand boutique.

00:51:34Jolene is there, too.

00:51:38Oh, look who it is, Catherine!

00:51:40Fancy seeing you here!

00:51:42Shopping, too, huh?

00:51:43What's the matter?

00:51:44Didn't expect to see you

00:51:46in a place like this?

00:51:47This isn't some place

00:51:48for just anyone.

00:51:49Bet that ice cream

00:51:50cost you half a day's wages?

00:51:52Jolene steps forward,

00:51:54and accidentally

00:51:55splashes her coffee

00:51:56onto my white dress.

00:51:58Oh, no, Catherine!

00:52:00I'm so sorry!

00:52:01I tripped!

00:52:01I didn't mean to!

00:52:03I look down

00:52:04at the stains on my dress,

00:52:06my eyes turning cold.

00:52:11Do you even know

00:52:12how much this dress costs?

00:52:13It's just a dress.

00:52:15I can buy you a new one.

00:52:18She pulls $200

00:52:20and tosses them at me.

00:52:23Use this

00:52:24to get yourself a new one.

00:52:25I look at the ice cream

00:52:27in my hand

00:52:33and press it

00:52:34onto Jolene's face.

00:52:36Oops!

00:52:37Sorry!

00:52:38My hand just slipped.

00:52:40It's just a little mess.

00:52:41I slip wipe

00:52:42and you'll be fine.

00:52:43Jolene screams.

00:52:47What on earth

00:52:48are you doing?

00:52:49Are you crazy?

00:52:51Anne steps out

00:52:52of the fitting room

00:52:52and gasps

00:52:53at Jolene's appearance.

00:52:59Jolene!

00:53:01What on earth

00:53:02happened to you?

00:53:03Mom,

00:53:04it's all my fault.

00:53:06I accidentally

00:53:07spilled coffee

00:53:07on Catherine's dress.

00:53:09I've already

00:53:10paid her back,

00:53:11but she's acting

00:53:12like it's not enough.

00:53:18Catherine,

00:53:19why are you

00:53:20picking on Jolene

00:53:21again?

00:53:24Anne pulls

00:53:25a thick wad

00:53:25of cash

00:53:26from her purse.

00:53:28Catherine,

00:53:29don't push this

00:53:30further.

00:53:30If it's money

00:53:31you want,

00:53:32apologize to Jolene.

00:53:34Not nearly enough.

00:53:36Yes,

00:53:37this is our

00:53:38anniversary edition.

00:53:39It retails

00:53:40for $180,000

00:53:41and is completely

00:53:42sold out.

00:53:43Either pay me

00:53:44three times

00:53:45its value,

00:53:46or I'll report

00:53:47this

00:53:47as intentional

00:53:49property damage

00:53:50to the police.

00:53:51Who said

00:53:52we wouldn't

00:53:52compensate?

00:53:53She reluctantly

00:53:54writes a check.

00:53:55Thank you.

00:53:56Take it.

00:53:57This is like

00:53:58burning money.

00:54:00Next time,

00:54:01I won't bother

00:54:01negotiating.

00:54:02I'll go straight

00:54:03to the police.

00:54:04I feel a deep

00:54:05satisfying pleasure.

00:54:06$540,000.

00:54:08That's going

00:54:08to sting

00:54:09for a while.

00:54:10Back in the

00:54:11Brown family,

00:54:11I let you

00:54:12walk all over me.

00:54:13I swallowed

00:54:14every insult.

00:54:15Not anymore.

00:54:16From now on,

00:54:17every single

00:54:18debt gets

00:54:19paid back

00:54:19with interest.

00:54:20After the meal,

00:54:21I wave goodbye

00:54:22to Claudian

00:54:23at the restaurant's

00:54:24entrance.

00:54:29I've only

00:54:30walked a short

00:54:30distance when

00:54:31a terrified

00:54:32scream cuts

00:54:33through the air.

00:54:34Help!

00:54:35Someone help!

00:54:37Is there a doctor

00:54:38here?

00:54:38I turn towards

00:54:39the commotion

00:54:39and see a

00:54:40well-dressed woman

00:54:41kneeling beside

00:54:42an elderly woman

00:54:43who has collapsed.

00:54:44Wake up!

00:54:45I push through

00:54:45the crowd

00:54:46and kneel

00:54:46down to

00:54:47examine her.

00:54:52Ma'am,

00:54:53don't panic.

00:54:53Does she have

00:54:54a history

00:54:54of heart disease?

00:54:55Yes.

00:54:57She has

00:54:58coronary heart

00:54:58disease.

00:55:01I reach

00:55:02into my bag

00:55:03and pull out

00:55:03a small bottle

00:55:04of nitroglycerin

00:55:05pills.

00:55:06I slide a

00:55:07tablet under

00:55:08her tongue

00:55:08and begins CPR.

00:55:22After several

00:55:23long minutes,

00:55:24the elderly

00:55:25woman lets

00:55:26out a faint

00:55:26groan.

00:55:28Paramedics

00:55:29arrive and

00:55:30take over.

00:55:32Very professional.

00:55:33You've brought

00:55:34us precious time.

00:55:36Which hospital

00:55:37do you work at?

00:55:38I have to

00:55:39thank you

00:55:39properly.

00:55:45I'm still

00:55:45a student.

00:55:46Helping people

00:55:47is just

00:55:47something I

00:55:47have to do.

00:55:54I quietly

00:55:55gather my

00:55:56things and

00:55:56slip away

00:55:57while the

00:55:57crowd watches

00:55:58with admiration.

00:55:59The next

00:56:00morning,

00:56:01I intentionally

00:56:01leave home

00:56:02early,

00:56:03but the

00:56:03Browns are

00:56:04already lying

00:56:04in wait

00:56:05at the

00:56:05school entrance.

00:56:08Catherine!

00:56:11Jolene

00:56:11plunges to

00:56:12hug me,

00:56:12but I

00:56:12smoothly

00:56:13dodge her.

00:56:15Catherine,

00:56:16come home

00:56:16with me.

00:56:17Your

00:56:18grandmother's

00:56:18back and

00:56:19wants to

00:56:19see you.

00:56:23Sorry,

00:56:24but I don't

00:56:24really know

00:56:25you people.

00:56:26We don't

00:56:26have time

00:56:27for your

00:56:27nonsense.

00:56:28You're

00:56:28coming home

00:56:28with us

00:56:29today.

00:56:32Since

00:56:33it's the

00:56:33busiest

00:56:33time for

00:56:34students

00:56:34arriving,

00:56:35a bunch

00:56:36of

00:56:36curious

00:56:36students

00:56:37have

00:56:37already

00:56:37stopped

00:56:38to

00:56:38watch.

00:56:41A

00:56:41sleek

00:56:42black

00:56:42Bentley

00:56:42eases to

00:56:43a stop

00:56:43right beside

00:56:44us.

00:56:45The window

00:56:46lowers smoothly

00:56:47and Liam's

00:56:48sharply

00:56:48contoured

00:56:49face

00:56:49comes into

00:56:49view.

00:56:53Catherine,

00:56:54get in

00:56:54the car.

00:56:59I've got

00:57:00class in a few

00:57:00minutes.

00:57:01What brings

00:57:02you here so

00:57:02early?

00:57:05they didn't

00:57:05bother you,

00:57:06did they?

00:57:06No.

00:57:07They're

00:57:08irrelevant.

00:57:09I'm heading

00:57:09in.

00:57:12And without

00:57:13waiting for

00:57:14his response,

00:57:15I simply

00:57:15turn and

00:57:16leave.

00:57:19The browns

00:57:20erupt the

00:57:21moment I

00:57:21brush past

00:57:22them like

00:57:22they're

00:57:22strangers

00:57:23on the

00:57:23street.

00:57:24Are we

00:57:24seriously

00:57:25letting that

00:57:25girl walk

00:57:26all over

00:57:26us?

00:57:28she might

00:57:29ignore us

00:57:29but someone

00:57:30else can

00:57:31get through

00:57:31to her.

00:57:32She won't

00:57:32dare skip

00:57:33her grandmother's

00:57:33birthday

00:57:34banquet.

00:57:37She'll

00:57:37show up

00:57:38for that.

00:57:39After my

00:57:39classes wrap

00:57:40up, I

00:57:40head home

00:57:41ready to

00:57:42relax until

00:57:42my phone

00:57:43starts buzzing

00:57:44in my

00:57:44pocket.

00:57:48Catherine,

00:57:49I'm sending

00:57:49you an

00:57:49address.

00:57:50Come eat

00:57:50with us.

00:57:51They've got

00:57:51all your

00:57:51favorites and

00:57:52there's a

00:57:53surprise for

00:57:53you too.

00:57:54I hop

00:57:55into a

00:57:55cab, take

00:57:56the elevator

00:57:57up, and

00:57:58text Jared.

00:58:00Which room

00:58:01are you guys

00:58:02in?

00:58:03The elevator

00:58:04doors slide

00:58:05open, and

00:58:06I walk

00:58:06out, my

00:58:07eyes glued

00:58:07to my

00:58:08phone.

00:58:10Before I

00:58:11can take

00:58:11two steps, a

00:58:12hand suddenly

00:58:13pulls me

00:58:13aside.

00:58:14So this

00:58:15is who you

00:58:15really are?

00:58:16Waiting all

00:58:17this time just

00:58:17to pull

00:58:18this?

00:58:18You

00:58:19followed me

00:58:19here?

00:58:20Declan, of

00:58:21course.

00:58:22What?

00:58:23Touched a

00:58:24nerve?

00:58:24You show

00:58:25up where I

00:58:25hang out

00:58:26hoping I'll

00:58:26notice you

00:58:27again?

00:58:28Catherine, you

00:58:29really haven't

00:58:30changed.

00:58:31Still using the

00:58:32same desperate

00:58:32tricks.

00:58:33Isn't she that

00:58:33brown family

00:58:34daughter?

00:58:34The one they

00:58:34recently reclaimed?

00:58:35Yep.

00:58:36Looks like she's

00:58:37still running

00:58:37after Declan

00:58:37like always.

00:58:38Declan, drop

00:58:39the ego.

00:58:39I'm here for

00:58:40someone else.

00:58:40You don't

00:58:40even make the

00:58:41top hundred.

00:58:42Stop acting

00:58:42like the world

00:58:43revolves around

00:58:43you.

00:58:45Aha, so I

00:58:46got to you.

00:58:47That's why

00:58:48you're biting

00:58:48back?

00:58:49Do me a favor

00:58:50and stay away.

00:58:51I don't want

00:58:52anyone assuming

00:58:52we have his

00:58:53spirit.

00:58:55I stride

00:58:56toward the

00:58:57highest tier

00:58:57private suite

00:58:58without looking

00:58:59back.

00:59:07Whoa, what

00:59:09happened to you?

00:59:13I'm fine.

00:59:23Catherine, wait

00:59:24till you see

00:59:25this.

00:59:35Hold on.

00:59:37Is that...

00:59:37Yep.

00:59:38The one from

00:59:39the Veritas auction

00:59:40last month.

00:59:41You kept staring

00:59:41at it, so I

00:59:43figured I'd just

00:59:43buy the damn

00:59:44thing for you.

00:59:45Thanks, Gerald.

00:59:47Hey, don't go

00:59:48formal on me.

00:59:49Something like this

00:59:50deserves an owner

00:59:51who actually gets

00:59:52it.

00:59:53happened to me.

01:00:19I don't know.

01:00:22I don't know.

01:00:22Did the Browns push you too far again?

01:00:25I'm fine, Auntie.

01:00:26I left on my own terms.

01:00:28Your grandmother returned.

01:00:30You heard?

01:00:32Her birthday banquet is next week.

01:00:34She actually called me earlier

01:00:36and told me to ask you to come.

01:00:38Auntie,

01:00:39I'm no longer part of the Brown family.

01:00:42Catherine, please.

01:00:44She's getting older.

01:00:46Just give her this one courtesy.

01:00:48Alright.

01:00:49I'll show up on time.

01:00:51I exhale slowly.

01:00:52So this is happening.

01:00:54No dodging it now.

01:00:55My eyes move back to the gemstone in its wooden box.

01:00:58It would make a clean, elegant birthday gift.

01:01:01The night of Analia's birthday banquet has come.

01:01:04The Brown estate glows with extravagant decorations.

01:01:10I stroll in wearing simple, casual clothes.

01:01:14Jolene drifts graciously through the guests

01:01:16in a blush-pink couture gown.

01:01:19Low whispers swirl around the gathered guests

01:01:21about how shabby I look.

01:01:24Lawrence's and Anna's expressions grow cold and tense.

01:01:27Isn't that the one who broke ties with the Browns?

01:01:30And she just shows up to Grandma's birthday like that?

01:01:35Wild or not, she's stunning.

01:01:38Those sharp features in that presence can't be ignored.

01:01:42Jolene steps forward,

01:01:44her smile dazzling and perfectly practiced.

01:01:47Grandma, happy birthday!

01:01:49I know how much you adore gemstones,

01:01:51so I asked the auction house

01:01:53to find something really special for you.

01:01:55A rare warm gem.

01:02:01And you, Catherine?

01:02:03What did you bring?

01:02:05I reach into my black bag

01:02:06and pull out a small wooden box.

01:02:09As I open the lid,

01:02:12the room falls deathly silent.

01:02:14Nestled inside is another gemstone.

01:02:18Huh?

01:02:19To give Grandma a fake?

01:02:21That's just disrespectful.

01:02:24Catherine?

01:02:25Fake?

01:02:26Catherine,

01:02:27don't you realize how humiliating this is for our family?

01:02:31Amid the crowd's murmurs and accusations,

01:02:34I stay composed.

01:02:41You say mine's a fake?

01:02:43On what proof?

01:02:45Maybe yours is the counterfeit.

01:02:47Isn't it obvious?

01:02:48This gem is incredibly rare.

01:02:51There can't be two exactly the same.

01:02:57Mine's been authenticated by several experts.

01:03:00It's the real deal.

01:03:02A knowing smile curves my lips

01:03:04as I bring my gem up

01:03:06and lightly press it against an Aaliyah's wrist.

01:03:09This is it!

01:03:11They say a genuine warm gem changes color

01:03:14depending on its wearer's vitality.

01:03:15It's a unique, almost magical trait.

01:03:19Why don't we test Jolene's gem the same way?

01:03:23She tried to pin it on Catherine

01:03:25when it was her own gift that was false.

01:03:27That's impossible!

01:03:28I paid 10 million for this

01:03:30at the Luxurious Auction House!

01:03:32I even have the receipt and certificate to prove it!

01:03:35Pulling out her phone,

01:03:36she quickly dials the number.

01:03:37What she hears makes her eyes widened in shock.

01:03:40Just then,

01:03:41someone glances at their phone and blurts out,

01:03:43The Luxurious Auction House director

01:03:45got hooked on gambling.

01:03:48Jolene stumbles backward,

01:03:50dropping her phone with a loud clatter.

01:03:52Today is my birthday celebration.

01:03:55Let's put an end to this now.

01:03:57Jolene acted with good intentions,

01:03:59but was misled.

01:03:59For the very first time,

01:04:02Anala looks at me without that usual air of disappointment.

01:04:07You know, Catherine,

01:04:09I actually like this.

01:04:15Jolene bites down hard on her lower lip,

01:04:17her nails digging into her palm.

01:04:20Justine approaches me.

01:04:23Catherine,

01:04:24I'm sorry about everything that went down earlier.

01:04:28I'm okay.

01:04:29You only stop feeling hurt

01:04:31when you stop expecting anything from anyone.

01:04:34It's okay.

01:04:35Not long after,

01:04:36friends call Justina away.

01:04:39A maid makes her way around,

01:04:41offering champagne.

01:04:42When she gets to me,

01:04:43I decline.

01:04:45The maid hurries away,

01:04:47and comes back moments later,

01:04:49holding a glass of juice.

01:04:50I study the juice for a moment.

01:04:53I lift the glass

01:04:54and drink it down in one steady guilt.

01:04:56A few minutes pass

01:04:57before the same maid shows up again.

01:05:00I'm so, so sorry.

01:05:02I didn't mean for this to happen.

01:05:04She slips,

01:05:05and the entire drink splashes across my outfit.

01:05:09Catherine, I'm really sorry.

01:05:11The staff can be a bit careless.

01:05:13Why don't you slip into one of my dresses?

01:05:14I've got tons upstairs.

01:05:15You can use the guest room to change.

01:05:17Wow.

01:05:17The rules in this house are intriguing,

01:05:19to say the least.

01:05:20I hear every bit of the sarcasm.

01:05:22Sophia is practically mocking Jolene,

01:05:24who acts like she owns the place.

01:05:26The maid exhales,

01:05:27relieved beyond measure,

01:05:29and hurries forward.

01:05:30I start after her,

01:05:31but pause to throw Jolene one last look.

01:05:34The maid leads me far inside the mansion,

01:05:37to a guest room.

01:05:38As soon as she leaves,

01:05:39the door shuts quietly,

01:05:41and I hear the lock slide into place.

01:05:44I go over to check the window,

01:05:47but it's stuck tight,

01:05:48probably locked from the outside.

01:05:50A strange warmth begins spreading under my skin.

01:05:54I take a steady breath,

01:05:55pull a small ceramic file from my pocket,

01:05:58and swallow an antidote.

01:06:00I had drunk the tampered juice,

01:06:02simply because I wanted to see the full extent of Jolene's trap.

01:06:10A few moments later,

01:06:11I hear faint, uneven footsteps outside the door.

01:06:15I lay down on the bed,

01:06:17completely still and quiet.

01:06:20The door creaks open slowly.

01:06:25Getting impatient, huh?

01:06:27Don't worry, sweetheart.

01:06:29I'll take real good care of you.

01:06:31But suddenly,

01:06:32my eyes snap wide open.

01:06:36The scream tears from him.

01:06:38He crumples to the floor in an instant,

01:06:42folding over and wrigling on the carpet.

01:06:45I calmly step over him and shut the door behind me.

01:06:49I ease into the corner just outside,

01:06:51ready to watch.

01:06:52Not long after,

01:06:53Jolene appears,

01:06:55sneaking cautiously down the hall.

01:06:59She presses her ear against the door,

01:07:01then pulls it wide open.

01:07:12She barely has time to register it

01:07:14before the man lunges at her.

01:07:18Stay away!

01:07:20Get off me!

01:07:21Man, pretty girl.

01:07:23The other one took a heap,

01:07:24but you?

01:07:25You'll do just fine.

01:07:26Don't you dare touch me!

01:07:28I'm a brown.

01:07:29Touch me and you're dead.

01:07:33Oh, man, yeah?

01:07:36That just makes it way more interesting.

01:07:39Ah!

01:07:40Help!

01:07:41Help!

01:07:42Let me go!

01:07:45After closing the door behind me,

01:07:47I calmly make my way back to the banquet hall.

01:07:50Sophia, who had earlier stood by my side,

01:07:53approaches with a warm smile

01:07:54and extends her hand.

01:07:55I'm Sophia Flynn.

01:07:57How about we get better acquainted?

01:08:00Catherine Brown,

01:08:01it's a pleasure to meet you.

01:08:02About 15 minutes later,

01:08:04a sudden disturbance breaks out

01:08:05outside the banquet hall.

01:08:07The crowd moves towards the guest room.

01:08:11As they get closer,

01:08:12heavy breathing and a woman's desperate screams

01:08:14reach their ears.

01:08:19Anne's face drains of color.

01:08:21What are you waiting for?

01:08:23Get that door down now!

01:08:24A few strong servants step up

01:08:27and smash the door open.

01:08:28inside,

01:08:29the shocking scene unfolds

01:08:31for everyone to see.

01:08:33Jolene,

01:08:34her hair mussy and clothes rumpled,

01:08:37is pinned down by an unfamiliar man.

01:08:39Seeing the crowd at the doorway,

01:08:41she breaks down in tears.

01:08:43Mom!

01:08:43It was Catherine!

01:08:44She tricked me!

01:08:46She planned all of this!

01:08:50Despite the accusations,

01:08:52I don't flinch.

01:08:53Jolene,

01:08:54where are you getting this from?

01:08:55The maid ruined my dress,

01:08:57and you sent her to fetch me some clothes.

01:08:59But I waited ages,

01:09:00and no one came,

01:09:01so I left.

01:09:02When I left,

01:09:03the room was empty.

01:09:04I have no idea how you ended up here.

01:09:06How could you be so heartless?

01:09:09Jolene is your sister!

01:09:11I was with Miss Flynn

01:09:13in the banquet hall the entire time.

01:09:15Many guests can vouch for that.

01:09:17How can you stoop to such tactics?

01:09:21Regarding Jolene,

01:09:22we'll have a chance to question

01:09:23the man soon enough.

01:09:27What happened today

01:09:28was a private family matter.

01:09:30Anyone who breathes a word of it

01:09:32will be making an enemy

01:09:33of the Brown family.

01:09:34Anne grabs her trembling daughter

01:09:36and practically drags Jolene out.

01:09:38The man is also hauled away.

01:09:45What a night.

01:09:47You handled that like a pro.

01:09:51It was simply responding

01:09:52to what she started.

01:09:54If she had stayed in her lane,

01:09:56none of this would have happened.

01:09:57Time after time,

01:09:59Jolene tried to set me up.

01:10:00Did she really think

01:10:01I was still the same Catherine

01:10:03who'd just take it lying down?

01:10:05What happened tonight?

01:10:07She brought it on herself.

01:10:09Morning sunlight pours in

01:10:11through the large window

01:10:12casting soft highlights

01:10:13across his sharp jawline.

01:10:15Mr. Warren.

01:10:16Morning.

01:10:17Let's get started.

01:10:18Without hesitation,

01:10:19he reaches for the buttons

01:10:20of his shirt and pulls it up,

01:10:21exposing his bare chest.

01:10:23I slip into professional mode,

01:10:25pick up my medical kit

01:10:26and move to his side.

01:10:28Need a hand handling the browns?

01:10:31My hands work with practiced confidence.

01:10:34Not right now.

01:10:35I've got it covered.

01:10:38Once the session wraps up,

01:10:40I'm packing away my tools

01:10:41when Liam slowly pushes off the sofa.

01:10:44He stands steady, clear-headed.

01:10:46You're healing well.

01:10:49You're really skilled at this.

01:10:50Thanks.

01:10:51Keep this up,

01:10:52and one more session

01:10:53and you'll be good as new.

01:10:54Once I'm fully better,

01:10:55what do you want in exchange?

01:10:57You've already paid

01:10:58for the treatments,

01:10:59but if I ever need help

01:11:01down the road,

01:11:01I hope you'll remember

01:11:02the understanding we have today.

01:11:04Sounds fair.

01:11:05Just then,

01:11:06a knock comes at the door

01:11:07and a maid enters.

01:11:08Sir,

01:11:09Mr. Cassius Warren has arrived.

01:11:11His tone turns icy

01:11:12in an instant.

01:11:13The smile that had just been there

01:11:14disappears completely.

01:11:15Tell him to wait for me

01:11:16in the living room.

01:11:17When I enter the living room,

01:11:19a man in a dark gray suit

01:11:21glances my way.

01:11:22He appears to be in his 50s,

01:11:24sharing some resemblance with Liam.

01:11:31Our eyes lock for a moment.

01:11:33I simply give a small nod

01:11:35and exit smoothly.

01:11:38The intense,

01:11:39almost threatening look

01:11:41from that middle-aged man

01:11:42has set off warning bells

01:11:43in my mind.

01:11:47I let out a soft sigh.

01:11:49I deliberately instruct my driver

01:11:51to take several detours

01:11:52just to make sure

01:11:53no one is tailing me

01:11:54before finally heading back

01:11:55to my apartment.

01:12:00No sooner have I settled in

01:12:02than my phone rings.

01:12:03It's Sophia.

01:12:05Hey Catherine,

01:12:06got a minute?

01:12:07There's this socialite gala

01:12:09happening next week.

01:12:10Want to come along

01:12:11and just have some fun?

01:12:12Sounds good.

01:12:13When is it exactly?

01:12:14Do I need to prepare

01:12:15anything special?

01:12:16It's next Saturday evening

01:12:17at Vantage Oasis.

01:12:18Just wear a cocktail dress.

01:12:20I'll come pick you up

01:12:21and we can go together.

01:12:23Okay, that would work.

01:12:24Thank you so much.

01:12:27I'll go park the car.

01:12:29Sophia goes off

01:12:30to find a parking spot,

01:12:32leaving me to make my way

01:12:33into the building.

01:12:40Just as I step into the lobby,

01:12:42ready to catch the elevator up,

01:12:44I bump on Jalene.

01:12:54Catherine?

01:12:55What are you doing here?

01:12:57So, you're here for the gala?

01:12:59You have an invitation, I hope?

01:13:01Whose little lapdog are you?

01:13:03Running wild and barking

01:13:05at everyone without a care.

01:13:08Excuse me?

01:13:09Who exactly are you insulting?

01:13:11Listen, Catherine,

01:13:13you can't just waltz

01:13:14into this kind of event

01:13:15wearing a dress.

01:13:16Without a real invite,

01:13:18you'll end up humiliated

01:13:19when security shows you the door.

01:13:22Come on, Catherine.

01:13:24Ready to head up?

01:13:25Let's not keep the others waiting.

01:13:37Don't pay her any mind.

01:13:39The organizers gave me

01:13:40two invitations this year.

01:13:42I smile back,

01:13:44appreciating Sophia's subtle way

01:13:46of handling things.

01:14:00Everyone,

01:14:01meet my friend Catherine Brown.

01:14:03I hope you'll look out

01:14:04for her from now on.

01:14:06This gala really is slipping.

01:14:07Apparently, just anyone

01:14:08can walk in now.

01:14:10Some people really try too hard,

01:14:12as if showing up here

01:14:13will magically upgrade

01:14:14their pleas in society.

01:14:17Watch your mouth.

01:14:18Catherine is a brown.

01:14:20Have some respect.

01:14:21Please don't be harsh.

01:14:22My sister doesn't attend events

01:14:24like this often.

01:14:25She's just here

01:14:26to get some exposure.

01:14:28Don't go snapping photos

01:14:29willy-nilly.

01:14:30If I see you flooding

01:14:31social media with our images

01:14:33just to boost your status,

01:14:34I won't hesitate to sue.

01:14:45If you want to play dirty,

01:14:47I'll give you a front row seat.

01:14:49Your status comes from

01:14:51flaunting fake jewelries?

01:14:53And what would a country girl

01:14:55like you possibly understand

01:14:56about jewelry?

01:14:59That's Maris Core,

01:15:00an iconic design

01:15:01by Davina Gemma

01:15:02from the 60s,

01:15:03centered around

01:15:04a rare cushion-cut diamond

01:15:05framed by a dozen emeralds.

01:15:08The real necklace

01:15:09was sold at last year's

01:15:10Veritas auction

01:15:11for $36 million,

01:15:13bought anonymously.

01:15:15I have to admit,

01:15:17you've got an eye for quality.

01:15:18It is lovely,

01:15:19I'll give you that,

01:15:20but the issue is that

01:15:21yours isn't authentic.

01:15:22Yes,

01:15:23the center stone

01:15:24is about the right size,

01:15:25but it's missing the clarity

01:15:26a genuine one would have.

01:15:27They look like fresh

01:15:28lab-made pieces.

01:15:30You're talking nonsense!

01:15:31My father gave this to me

01:15:32for my birthday!

01:15:33Janice,

01:15:34don't let my sister

01:15:35get to you.

01:15:36She's been out of touch

01:15:37for years,

01:15:37she probably hasn't even seen

01:15:39jewelry of this caliber.

01:15:40It's easy for her

01:15:41to misjudge.

01:15:42I stay calm,

01:15:43shifting my gaze

01:15:44to the other woman's wrist.

01:15:45Your bracelet

01:15:46actually has

01:15:47decent translucency,

01:15:48but it's been

01:15:49chemically treated

01:15:50and filled with resin.

01:15:52Wearing that too long

01:15:53isn't good

01:15:53for your health.

01:15:55Just so you know.

01:15:56The woman snatches

01:15:57her hand back,

01:15:57going pale.

01:16:00I turn to Jolene.

01:16:03Your necklace

01:16:04is no better,

01:16:05Jolene.

01:16:05Those diamonds

01:16:06look fake too.

01:16:09Jolene's fingers

01:16:10shoot toward her ear

01:16:11but stop halfway.

01:16:12The whole hall

01:16:13goes completely still.

01:16:16That was savage.

01:16:17You nailed

01:16:18that comeback perfectly.

01:16:22I take a sip

01:16:23from my glass

01:16:24and feel not

01:16:25a trace of guilt.

01:16:26Fake jewelry?

01:16:27Fine.

01:16:28Wear it quietly

01:16:29and no one

01:16:29will say a word.

01:16:30But you had to

01:16:31step on me

01:16:32to feel taller.

01:16:33So don't blame me

01:16:34for exposing

01:16:35your fake jewelry.

01:16:36Just you wait.

01:16:38I'm calling in

01:16:40a top jewelry expert

01:16:41right now.

01:16:43Be my guest.

01:16:45Relax, Janice.

01:16:47It's a beautiful day.

01:16:48There's no need

01:16:49to let some petty

01:16:50nonsense spoil it.

01:16:51Petty?

01:16:52This isn't just about

01:16:53me wearing a fake.

01:16:55She's insulting

01:16:56the honor

01:16:56of the whole Lopez family.

01:17:08The craftsmanship

01:17:09is extraordinary

01:17:10but something is off.

01:17:12The cut

01:17:12and the color

01:17:13don't match

01:17:14the authentic

01:17:14Maris core.

01:17:17Miss Lopez,

01:17:18I'm afraid

01:17:19this necklace

01:17:20is indeed a replica.

01:17:22What?

01:17:23That can't be.

01:17:25The craftsmanship

01:17:26is exceptionally convincing,

01:17:27almost flawless.

01:17:28But as Miss Brown

01:17:29pointed out,

01:17:30the cutting style

01:17:31and the emerald shade

01:17:32reveal subtle differences.

01:17:33Impressive eye,

01:17:34Miss Brown.

01:17:35Only the most skilled

01:17:36experts can detect

01:17:37such subtle distinctions.

01:17:38May I ask

01:17:39who has been your teacher?

01:17:41My mentor

01:17:42is Langston Moore.

01:17:45So,

01:17:46you are the esteemed

01:17:47protege of Mr. Moore.

01:17:48An honor

01:17:49to meet you at last.

01:17:50Your championship

01:17:51at the last

01:17:51international competition

01:17:52was truly well deserved.

01:17:54No wonder

01:17:55she spotted the fake

01:17:56so easily.

01:17:56She's Langston Moore's

01:17:58student.

01:18:01That's the world's

01:18:02top jewelry appraiser.

01:18:03The Lopez family

01:18:04really embarrassed

01:18:05themselves today.

01:18:06I can't stay here.

01:18:08I can't let them

01:18:08see me like this.

01:18:18Catherine,

01:18:19when did you

01:18:20pick all this up?

01:18:21You never said

01:18:22a word about it

01:18:23to any of us.

01:18:26There's a lot

01:18:26you don't know,

01:18:27mostly because

01:18:28you never bothered

01:18:29to ask.

01:18:33Catherine,

01:18:34what have you done

01:18:34to Jolaine now?

01:18:35I don't know

01:18:35what you're talking

01:18:36about,

01:18:36Austin.

01:18:37I've been sitting

01:18:37here all night

01:18:38and Jolaine

01:18:38hasn't said a word

01:18:39to me.

01:18:39And I'm not the one

01:18:40who's been sending

01:18:40her all those

01:18:41blue roses.

01:18:44Austin,

01:18:44shouldn't you find

01:18:45out what really

01:18:45happened first?

01:18:46It's Catherine

01:18:47who got wrong today.

01:18:48What about

01:18:49Miss Lopez?

01:18:50How could you

01:18:50upset her

01:18:51and make her cry?

01:18:52You're going

01:18:52to the Lopez

01:18:53residence right now

01:18:54to apologize.

01:18:55Apologize?

01:18:56For what?

01:18:57Telling the truth

01:18:58and exposing

01:18:59Janice's fake jewelry

01:19:00in front of everyone?

01:19:01What nonsense?

01:19:03Miss Lopez

01:19:04wouldn't be caught

01:19:04dead wearing fakes.

01:19:05You're just making

01:19:06up lies to slander

01:19:07her.

01:19:08Mr. Brown,

01:19:09Miss Brown's

01:19:09assessment is

01:19:10absolutely right.

01:19:11This Mari's core

01:19:12necklace is a very

01:19:13well-maked replica

01:19:13and her appraisal

01:19:14skills surpass

01:19:15even mine.

01:19:16Isn't Austin

01:19:17being way too

01:19:18biased?

01:19:18He's not even

01:19:19listening to the

01:19:19expert.

01:19:20I heard the

01:19:20Browns kicked out

01:19:21their own

01:19:21biological daughter

01:19:22to make room

01:19:23for that adopted

01:19:24girl Jolaine.

01:19:25How ridiculous.

01:19:27Still,

01:19:27you had no right

01:19:28to humiliate Miss

01:19:29Lopez like that

01:19:29in public.

01:19:30Our families have

01:19:31shared a close bond

01:19:32for generations.

01:19:33Did you ever

01:19:34stop to think

01:19:34about how damaging

01:19:35this could be

01:19:36for the Brown group?

01:19:37But what about

01:19:37when Janice openly

01:19:38mocked me for being

01:19:39from the countryside?

01:19:40When they all

01:19:41schemed together

01:19:41to humiliate me

01:19:42in front of everyone?

01:19:43Did anyone ever

01:19:43care how that felt?

01:19:44Have any of you

01:19:45truly treated me

01:19:46like family at all?

01:19:47If not,

01:19:48then I,

01:19:48Catherine,

01:19:49and the Browns

01:19:49are better off

01:19:50going our separate

01:19:50ways from this

01:19:51day forward.

01:19:52Sorry for the

01:19:53disruption and ruining

01:19:54everyone's good time.

01:19:55I'll be taking

01:19:56my leave now.

01:20:00The days

01:20:00passed quietly

01:20:01with nothing

01:20:02but my regular

01:20:03school routine

01:20:03and lab work.

01:20:04Jolene had kept

01:20:05an unusually low

01:20:06profile ever since

01:20:07the banquet,

01:20:08not daring

01:20:09to provoke me

01:20:09again.

01:20:14So many missed

01:20:15calls.

01:20:16What's going on?

01:20:21Why are you

01:20:21answering Aunt

01:20:22Justina's phone?

01:20:23What happened

01:20:23to her?

01:20:24Watch your tone

01:20:24with me,

01:20:25you ungrateful brat.

01:20:26I haven't even

01:20:27dealt with the

01:20:27mess you made.

01:20:28Thanks to you

01:20:29offending Miss Lopez,

01:20:30the Lopez group

01:20:31has just terminated

01:20:31all their cooperation

01:20:32with us.

01:20:33You will find time

01:20:34to go to the Lopez

01:20:35residence and apologize

01:20:36to Miss Lopez

01:20:37immediately.

01:20:38Keep dreaming.

01:20:39You ungrateful

01:20:40little wolf.

01:20:41If you refuse

01:20:42to listen to me,

01:20:43are you planning

01:20:44to ignore your aunt's

01:20:45life and death

01:20:46situation too?

01:20:47What happened

01:20:48to Aunt Justina?

01:20:49Brain tumor.

01:20:50It's pressing

01:20:51directly on the nerves.

01:20:52Surgery is

01:20:53extremely risky.

01:20:54I'm on my way.

01:21:00Out of my way.

01:21:01Sign this.

01:21:02Sign the share

01:21:03transfer agreement

01:21:04and I'll let you

01:21:04inside to see her.

01:21:07How dare they use

01:21:08Justina's life

01:21:09as a bargaining chip?

01:21:10They have no

01:21:11bottom line.

01:21:12You crazy girl.

01:21:13If you dare lay

01:21:14a hand on me,

01:21:15you'll be condemned

01:21:15for your unfailed

01:21:16behavior.

01:21:17Heaven will strike

01:21:18you down.

01:21:19Then move.

01:21:20Before I actually

01:21:21decide to follow

01:21:22through.

01:21:23Lawrence?

01:21:24Austin?

01:21:26Is that Catherine

01:21:27out there?

01:21:28Let her in.

01:21:38My poor little

01:21:39Catherine.

01:21:40They must have

01:21:41given her a hard

01:21:42time again.

01:21:46It's just the same

01:21:47old health problems,

01:21:48nothing to worry

01:21:48about.

01:21:50But were they

01:21:51bothering you out

01:21:52there just now?

01:21:53Don't worry about me.

01:21:54I'm perfectly fine.

01:21:55How are you feeling

01:21:56right now, really?

01:21:57Be honest with me.

01:21:58Justina, don't push

01:21:59yourself too hard.

01:22:00The doctors made it

01:22:01clear this condition

01:22:01can't wait any longer.

01:22:02Only Dr. Huxley-Jones

01:22:04can perform this

01:22:04surgery with the

01:22:05highest success rate.

01:22:06Jolene practically

01:22:07bent over back to

01:22:07get him to agree to

01:22:08take the case.

01:22:09Show me her complete

01:22:10medical records and

01:22:11all the scan images

01:22:12right now.

01:22:12Justina has been

01:22:13nothing but kind to

01:22:13you your whole life,

01:22:14hasn't she?

01:22:15Now that she's

01:22:15gravely ill, you

01:22:16won't just sit back

01:22:16and let her die,

01:22:17will you?

01:22:17Here's the deal.

01:22:18Sign over the Brown

01:22:19Group shares to the

01:22:19family, and Jolene

01:22:20will convince Dr. Huxley

01:22:21to perform the

01:22:22surgery immediately.

01:22:23We're also willing to

01:22:23overlook the whole

01:22:28Lawrence, Austin, how

01:22:29can you stoop so low

01:22:30as to use my sickness

01:22:31as a weapon against

01:22:31Catherine?

01:22:32This is absolutely

01:22:33shameless.

01:22:33I won't stand for

01:22:34this.

01:22:34Stop it right now!

01:22:35Aunt Justina, please

01:22:37don't be angry.

01:22:38Dad's just worried

01:22:39about all those

01:22:39Brown Group shares

01:22:40Catherine holds.

01:22:41If she's not careful,

01:22:42she could be taken

01:22:43advantage of, which

01:22:44would cause huge

01:22:45problems.

01:22:47That's why he wants

01:22:47to take this chance

01:22:48to get the shares

01:22:49back into the family's

01:22:50hands.

01:22:52Catherine, my

01:22:53condition is severe,

01:22:54and it probably

01:22:55will get better.

01:22:57even if you sign,

01:22:59the surgery might

01:23:00not work.

01:23:01I come to accept

01:23:02that you should

01:23:03leave while you

01:23:04still can.

01:23:06Aunt Justina, I'll

01:23:07be the one to

01:23:08perform your surgery.

01:23:09What could you

01:23:09possibly have to

01:23:10back that up with

01:23:11those so-called

01:23:11skills you picked

01:23:12up from nowhere?

01:23:13Catherine, don't

01:23:14make a fool of

01:23:14yourself and promise

01:23:15more than you can

01:23:15deliver.

01:23:16If Justina's

01:23:16condition worsens

01:23:17because of your

01:23:17arrogance, can you

01:23:18really bear the

01:23:19consequences?

01:23:19Can you live with

01:23:20that guilt?

01:23:21Then we'll just

01:23:21have to wait and

01:23:22see.

01:23:23And don't you ever

01:23:24dare use Aunt

01:23:24Justina as a pawn

01:23:25against me again.

01:23:26The next time you

01:23:27try, I won't

01:23:28hesitate to prove

01:23:29exactly what I am

01:23:30capable of, and you

01:23:31won't like the

01:23:32outcome.

01:23:33I'm not giving up on

01:23:33you.

01:23:35Aunt Justina, trust me.

01:23:37Leave everything to

01:23:38me.

01:23:39I promise I'll make

01:23:40you better.

01:23:41Catherine, I trust

01:23:43you.

01:23:44Completely.

01:23:45Fine!

01:23:45Have it your way,

01:23:46Catherine.

01:23:47Let's see how you

01:23:48handle this.

01:23:49Without Dr. Huxley, I

01:23:50don't think Justina has

01:23:51much time left.

01:23:52When this fails, and

01:23:53it will, you better

01:23:54not come crawling back

01:23:55to us-to-us on your

01:23:56knees begging for

01:23:57help!

01:24:08It's Zephira.

01:24:09Arrange for the

01:24:09highest-grade operating

01:24:10theater at Central

01:24:11Hospital immediately,

01:24:12with a full leading

01:24:13neurosurgery team on

01:24:14standby.

01:24:14I'll send over the

01:24:15full equipment list and

01:24:16surgical plan shortly.

01:24:17Understood, Dr. Zephira.

01:24:18We'll handle all the

01:24:19arrangements immediately.

01:24:20Everything will be ready

01:24:21before your scheduled

01:24:22surgery time.

01:24:27An internationally

01:24:28renowned surgeon, Dr.

01:24:29Zephira?

01:24:31That's the legendary

01:24:32neurosurgeon that even

01:24:33royal families can't

01:24:34book?

01:24:34No!

01:24:35No way!

01:24:35That's impossible!

01:24:37Catherine?

01:24:37That good-for-nothing

01:24:38girl who grew up in the

01:24:39countryside?

01:24:40How could she possibly

01:24:41have connections to

01:24:41someone of Dr. Zephira's

01:24:42caliber?

01:24:42It must be a coincidence!

01:24:44No, it can't be.

01:24:45She's just a worthless

01:24:46country girl.

01:24:47How could she know

01:24:47Dr. Zephira?

01:24:50Dad, Austin, don't

01:24:51jump to conclusions.

01:24:52It has to be a

01:24:53coincidence.

01:24:54There's no way Catherine

01:24:55has anything to do with

01:24:56this.

01:24:56She probably doesn't even

01:24:57know who Dr. Zephira is.

01:25:00Justina, I won't let

01:25:01anything happen to you.

01:25:03This surgery will be a

01:25:04success.

01:25:07Aunt Justina, it's me.

01:25:08I'll be the operatic

01:25:09surgeon for your

01:25:10procedure today.

01:25:11Don't be afraid.

01:25:12Just close your eyes and

01:25:13rest.

01:25:14When you wake up, this

01:25:15ailment will be gone

01:25:16completely.

01:25:18The patient is under

01:25:18general anesthesia.

01:25:19Vitals are stable.

01:25:20Let's begin the

01:25:21operation.

01:25:30My God, that surgical

01:25:31approach angle.

01:25:32It's so bold and

01:25:33intricate, yet it

01:25:33completely avoids all

01:25:34the critical functional

01:25:35areas of the brain.

01:25:36I've never seen anything

01:25:37like it.

01:25:37Look at that section

01:25:38technique.

01:25:38It's so steady.

01:25:39It's terrifying.

01:25:40Not a single tremor,

01:25:41even when working so

01:25:42close to the nerve

01:25:42buns.

01:25:43This is beyond

01:25:43masterful.

01:25:46The patient's vital

01:25:47assigns remain stable

01:25:48throughout the procedure.

01:25:49The operation is a

01:25:50complete success.

01:25:54Please pay close

01:25:55attention to the

01:25:55patient's post-operative

01:25:57monitoring and care.

01:25:58Call me immediately if

01:25:59there are any changes in

01:26:00her condition.

01:26:01Absolutely, Dr. Zafia.

01:26:02We will strictly follow

01:26:03your post-operative care

01:26:04plan.

01:26:04It was the greatest honor

01:26:05of our careers to assist

01:26:06you in this surgery

01:26:07today.

01:26:13Doctor, how did it go?

01:26:15How was my sister?

01:26:16Was the surgery successful?

01:26:18It was an incredible,

01:26:19unprecedented success.

01:26:20The tumor was completely

01:26:21removed, with zero damage

01:26:22to the surrounding nerves

01:26:23and functional areas.

01:26:24The patient's vital

01:26:25signine stayed rock

01:26:26stolid the entire time.

01:26:27Honestly, it was nothing

01:26:28less than a medical

01:26:29miracle.

01:26:29Dr. Zafia's surgical

01:26:30skills are absolutely

01:26:31extraordinary, godlike even.

01:26:33I have to say, your

01:26:34Brown family is truly full

01:26:35of hidden talents.

01:26:36It's almost impossible

01:26:37to book Dr. Zafia for a

01:26:39surgery anywhere in the

01:26:40world, yet you managed to

01:26:41get her to come here

01:26:42personally.

01:26:42I'm genuinely curious.

01:26:43How did you manage to

01:26:44connect with her?

01:26:45How is this possible?

01:26:46How could that country

01:26:47girl have anything to do

01:26:47with Dr. Zafira?

01:26:48This can't be happening.

01:26:49We threatened her, we

01:26:50accused her, we tried to

01:26:51force her to sign away

01:26:51her shares, and she just

01:26:53saved Aunt Justina's

01:26:53life?

01:26:54Dr. Watts, thank you for

01:26:55your hard work today.

01:26:56It was our honor to work

01:26:57with you, Dr. Zafira.

01:26:58You have my word.

01:26:59We will monitor Miss

01:27:00Brown's condition 24-7 and

01:27:02strictly follow your

01:27:03post-operative care

01:27:04instructions.

01:27:05Could it be?

01:27:07Is Catherine actually

01:27:08Dr. Zafira herself?

01:27:11What kind of ridiculous

01:27:12nonsense are you spouting?

01:27:13That ungrateful fool

01:27:14knows nothing.

01:27:15She's just a worthless

01:27:16waste of space.

01:27:17There's no way she could

01:27:18be the world famous

01:27:19Dr. Zafira.

01:27:20Are you done running

01:27:21your mouth?

01:27:21If you're finished,

01:27:22step aside.

01:27:23I don't have time to

01:27:24waste on the likes of

01:27:24you.

01:27:25You, you ungrateful,

01:27:27rebellious girl.

01:27:28You think knowing that

01:27:28Dr. Zafira makes you

01:27:29something special?

01:27:30You probably spent all

01:27:31your money to beg her

01:27:32to come here.

01:27:33It's not like you have

01:27:33any real skill.

01:27:34I am Dr. Zafira.

01:27:36Aunt Justina's surgery

01:27:38was performed by my

01:27:39own hands from start

01:27:41to finish.

01:27:44No.

01:27:45Impossible!

01:27:46How could you possibly

01:27:46be Dr. Zafira?

01:27:47You're just a worthless,

01:27:48uneducated girl from the

01:27:49countryside.

01:27:50You're nothing!

01:27:50You're lying!

01:27:51worthless!

01:27:51Worthless!

01:27:51I'm the one who saved

01:27:52Aunt Justina's life.

01:27:53What have you done

01:27:54besides using her

01:27:55sickness as a weapon

01:27:55to try and steal from

01:27:56me?

01:27:57Catherine, why...

01:27:58Why didn't you tell

01:27:59us sooner?

01:28:00If you had told us

01:28:01who you were earlier,

01:28:02we wouldn't have...

01:28:02We wouldn't have

01:28:03treated you like that.

01:28:04We wouldn't have

01:28:05made so many mistakes.

01:28:07Wouldn't have what?

01:28:08Wouldn't have treated

01:28:09me like an outsider?

01:28:10Wouldn't have helped

01:28:11Jolaine bully me time

01:28:12and time again?

01:28:13Wouldn't have used my

01:28:14only family member's

01:28:15life to threaten me?

01:28:16Austin, do you even

01:28:17believe a single word

01:28:18you just said?

01:28:19Catherine doesn't need

01:28:20your fake last-minute

01:28:21regrets.

01:28:22From this day forward,

01:28:23I will be the one to

01:28:23take care of her.

01:28:24You will never get the

01:28:25chance to hurt her again.

01:28:26Mr. Warren, this is

01:28:28just a private family

01:28:29matter of the Brown

01:28:29family.

01:28:30There's no need for you

01:28:31to get involved.

01:28:31Family matter?

01:28:32When you kicked her

01:28:33out of the house and

01:28:34left her homeless,

01:28:34did you ever think of

01:28:35her as family?

01:28:36You even used her

01:28:37aunt's life as a

01:28:37threat against her.

01:28:38When she was in

01:28:39danger, where were you?

01:28:40When she was bullied

01:28:41and even kidnapped, did

01:28:42you ever stood up for

01:28:43her even once?

01:28:44Enough, Liam.

01:28:45Talking to these

01:28:46people is just a

01:28:47waste of time.

01:28:48Let's go.
