00:00:05My name is Rachel Brown. Married for two years, I thought I was the wife of the Spencer Group CEO.
00:00:12Today, I learn it is all a lie. 30 minutes ago, I went to the bank to transfer money for
00:00:23the
00:00:23Spencer Group, wanting to surprise my husband. What? The clerk actually told me that my marriage
00:00:30certificate is fake, and his legal wife has always been his best friend, Millie Clark.
00:00:45Back at home, I stand outside the bedroom door, peering through the gap. My husband,
00:00:51Xander Spencer, is shirtless, lounging against the headboard. His best friend, Millie Clark,
00:00:58is straddling his lap. You are incredible tonight, sweetheart. Two whole years, and Rachel still
00:01:06hasn't shared a bed with you, and got a taste of all this. I almost feel bad for her. Forget
00:01:12about
00:01:12her, sweetheart. I watch Xander hold Millie's waist with hand. Millie's shameless moans and the sound
00:01:19of bodies carousing pierce my eardrums. But I don't cry. I take out my phone and start recording.
00:01:28I save the video and quietly turn to leave. This marriage began with a lie. I'll send them to hell
00:01:35as the ending. The Shaw family is about to make its move. My eldest brother, Reed Shaw, the first son
00:01:41of
00:01:42the Shaw family, heir to Oneilims' richest dynasty. They only found me a month ago. I was never an
00:01:47orphan. I'm the Shaw family's long-lost daughter. The call connects. My brother's voice is deep and
00:01:53warm. Ray, the banquet is ready. Mom and dad have prepared two billion dollar deals for the Spencer
00:01:58group. Since you refuse to come back to Oneilims, at least a thriving Spencer group will make your life
00:02:03easier. Reed, I don't want those projects anymore. The banquet will still go on, but instead of propping
00:02:12them up, I want them destroyed. Ray, did that bastard Xander hurt you? Tell me. I'll deal with him.
00:02:20There's nothing but concern in my brother's voice. Growing up, no one ever protected me like this.
00:02:30No need. Some things, I need to handle myself. I'm relieved you finally see clearly. Xander was
00:02:36never worthy of you. Reek has never met Xander, yet he sees right through him. It takes me five years.
00:02:42How foolish I was. Oh, and Ray, you were betrothed when you were young. The man will be arriving in
00:02:50Mophia soon. I'll arrange for you to meet him. You can move on without any burden. He's far superior to
00:02:56Xander. Reet, I'm not interested in a new relationship right now. I won't meet him. I hang up and sit
00:03:08in
00:03:08the living room for a long time. Finally, footsteps echo down the stairs, accompanied by flirtatious
00:03:15laughter between a man and a woman.
00:03:22Millie is clinging to Xander, clothes messy, marks on her neck. They come down the stairs together.
00:03:34Rachel, you're back? I got my clothes stained. Xander, let me use the master bedroom to clean up.
00:03:42You don't mind, do you? Of course I won't mind.
00:03:48But even if you are an illusory child,
00:03:51barging into a married couple's bedroom
00:03:53like this,
00:03:55others might assume you have a
00:03:57thing for married men.
00:04:00Don't throw
00:04:01a tantrum before grasping the full picture.
00:04:04The Spencer group
00:04:05is in trouble.
00:04:10Millie used her ties to the Shaw family to get us invited to the banquet.
00:04:14Oh, dear. The bank called about our marriage certificate. They want us to verify. When are you free?
00:04:26I'll have my assistant handle it. Banking procedures are complicated, not something a housewife would understand.
00:04:38Emergency at work. Don't wait up.
00:04:43Xander, we're over.
00:04:46I'll take everything from you.
00:04:48I go to Xander's study.
00:04:5116 perfume formulas, and I never took a cent.
00:04:55But the share transfer contract is real.
00:04:58I find it.
00:05:01I find it.
00:05:01I've just hidden it behind my back
00:05:03when I run into Xander.
00:05:09He's coming up the stairs.
00:05:12You were in my study?
00:05:16I left a gift for you.
00:05:19In seven days,
00:05:20it's our fifth anniversary.
00:05:23He thinks I'm making amends.
00:05:25If he cared,
00:05:26he'd know our anniversary is today.
00:05:28But in seven days,
00:05:30I do have a surprise for him.
00:05:32That night,
00:05:33after my shower,
00:05:34I put on a silk slip nightgown.
00:05:38Xander comes in and wraps his arms around me.
00:05:42I'm staying with you tonight.
00:05:44Honey,
00:05:46doesn't Millie hate my perfume?
00:05:50If she smells it on you and gets mad,
00:05:53what about the Spencer group?
00:05:55The fire in his eyes goes out.
00:05:58He lets me go and leaves.
00:06:03Water runs in the guest bathroom.
00:06:06He'd rather take a cold shower
00:06:08than be with me.
00:06:09The next morning,
00:06:11after Xander leaves,
00:06:12I donate every plain dress in my closet.
00:06:16My phone rings.
00:06:18An email from master perfumer Philip Barnes.
00:06:22Mr. Barnes is in Amleto.
00:06:24He asks me to contact someone.
00:06:26The person hangs up
00:06:27and sends me a coffeehouse address.
00:06:29I keep my makeup light and drive over.
00:06:38I knock on the booth door
00:06:40and look up into cold,
00:06:41menacing eyes.
00:06:43Kellen, Xander's worst rival.
00:06:47You rejected me three times to marry Xander.
00:06:51Now you're back?
00:06:53Done with him?
00:06:55I've decided to end things with Xander.
00:06:57Whatever conflicts you have with him
00:06:59no longer involve me.
00:07:00You're divorcing Xander?
00:07:02I catch the glint of satisfactions in his eyes.
00:07:06So much for him being cold and different.
00:07:10If you distrust me,
00:07:12then this meeting is over.
00:07:13Goodbye.
00:07:15I stand to leave.
00:07:21My knee hits the table
00:07:23and I stumble into Kellen's chest.
00:07:25My sleeve button snags
00:07:27and tears his jacket pocket.
00:07:28My face flushes.
00:07:30Just as I start to explain,
00:07:32a sharp voice cuts through.
00:07:34Rachel?
00:07:35Is that you?
00:07:37What are you doing with a man?
00:07:38Wait, isn't that Mr. Mitchell?
00:07:41Xander's mother Jade and Millie
00:07:42are standing nearby.
00:07:46Jade and Millie are arm in arm
00:07:47like a real mother-in-law
00:07:48and daughter-in-law,
00:07:49which they are,
00:07:50on paper.
00:07:57Clinging to another man in public?
00:07:59You've embarrassed our whole family!
00:08:01Rachel,
00:08:02you're not still upset about yesterday
00:08:04and trying to get revenge,
00:08:06are you?
00:08:07He video called me for over an hour last night.
00:08:11I glance at Kellen.
00:08:13He's standing with his arms crossed,
00:08:15enjoying the show.
00:08:16I came to buy Xander's favorite coffee
00:08:18and accidentally bumped into Mr. Mitchell.
00:08:20I didn't go take a shower with him.
00:08:22And honestly,
00:08:23Xander was exhausted last night.
00:08:25His stamina is impressive.
00:08:27Married for years
00:08:28and still childless.
00:08:30Have you finished
00:08:31this quarter's perfume formula?
00:08:34Shouldn't this go to Millie,
00:08:35the one who's supposed
00:08:36to stand beside Xander?
00:08:37Or is the much-praised
00:08:39Clark family daughter
00:08:40actually useless?
00:08:42Both their faces turn dark.
00:08:47I walk off.
00:08:52Behind me,
00:08:53Kylan's voice rings out.
00:08:55Well,
00:08:55that was quite the show.
00:08:57I get my bag
00:08:58and slip out the back.
00:09:00But in the parking lot,
00:09:02a hand grabs me.
00:09:04It's Kylan again.
00:09:10Miss Brown,
00:09:11you tore my clothes
00:09:13and never paid me back
00:09:14and now you're just going to leave?
00:09:16I'm sorry.
00:09:17How much?
00:09:18I'll pay.
00:09:20I don't want money.
00:09:22I want a replacement.
00:09:24No tag.
00:09:25Custom made.
00:09:26Where am I supposed
00:09:27to find an exact match?
00:09:32I'll get you another
00:09:33just like it.
00:09:35Don't try something
00:09:36off the rack.
00:09:37I'm very particular.
00:09:39I clench my jaw
00:09:40and walk away.
00:09:50By my car,
00:09:51I see Xander anxiously
00:09:52explaining something.
00:09:54She said it to my face
00:09:55and you're still denying it?
00:09:58I laugh coldly
00:09:59and walk straight up
00:10:01to them.
00:10:04Honey,
00:10:04I told you
00:10:05my perfume would stick.
00:10:10See?
00:10:11Miss Clark smells it.
00:10:16Next time,
00:10:17shower more times
00:10:18after we're done.
00:10:19I get in my car
00:10:20and speed away.
00:10:29Back home,
00:10:30I keep packing.
00:10:35At the storage room
00:10:36entrance,
00:10:37Xander stands there
00:10:38with a grim face.
00:10:43You ran into Callan.
00:10:46I've told you.
00:10:48He'll drag the Spencer group down.
00:10:54You even talk back to Mom.
00:10:56If you can't match
00:10:56Millie's insight,
00:10:57at least learn from her.
00:11:03Xander,
00:11:03why do you always
00:11:04defend Millie?
00:11:05Even your mother
00:11:06takes her side.
00:11:08Anyone would think
00:11:09you two are
00:11:10the real married couple.
00:11:14What nonsense
00:11:15are you talking?
00:11:17If you keep siding
00:11:19with outsiders,
00:11:20I might as well
00:11:21go to the city hall
00:11:22and ask who
00:11:23your real wife is.
00:11:25Xander throws out
00:11:27a few impatient words
00:11:28and rushes off.
00:11:29I kick the trash bag.
00:11:34Everything I once
00:11:35treasured
00:11:35shatters.
00:11:41My phone rings.
00:11:43It's Mooney Stevens,
00:11:45the lawyer I consulted.
00:11:48Miss Brown,
00:11:49we can pursue
00:11:50marriage fraud.
00:11:51But the contract
00:11:52has three months left.
00:11:55Now isn't the best time.
00:11:58Three months.
00:11:59Fine.
00:12:01We'll file then.
00:12:06In the meantime,
00:12:08I have a lot to do.
00:12:11My phone buzzes again.
00:12:13Millie texts.
00:12:15Xander drank too much.
00:12:16I'm taking him
00:12:17to my place.
00:12:18She attaches photos,
00:12:20her on his lap.
00:12:23Sharing chocolate.
00:12:25I save them
00:12:26without hesitation
00:12:26and send them
00:12:27to my lawyer.
00:12:36I leave the villa
00:12:37without looking back.
00:12:42Outside,
00:12:43my brother's car
00:12:44is waiting
00:12:44to take me
00:12:45to Riverside Haven.
00:12:51The next evening,
00:12:53Xander comes home
00:12:54and finds me gone.
00:12:56He calls.
00:12:57Rachel,
00:12:58where are you?
00:12:59Still angry?
00:13:00I promise
00:13:01I'll spend time
00:13:02with you
00:13:02after this busy period.
00:13:06Your mother says
00:13:07I'm useless
00:13:08and can't bear children.
00:13:09She says
00:13:10the Spencer group
00:13:11doesn't need me.
00:13:12So why should I go back?
00:13:18If you insist
00:13:20on causing trouble,
00:13:21then go ahead.
00:13:32I hang up
00:13:33and laugh coldly.
00:13:35The next day,
00:13:36Saturday,
00:13:37I go to my
00:13:37adoptive parents' place.
00:13:39The moment I open
00:13:40the door,
00:13:41a cup flies at my head.
00:13:43You ungrateful girl,
00:13:44you still dare
00:13:45come back?
00:13:46You think
00:13:47marrying Xander
00:13:48makes you a queen?
00:13:50Since Josia
00:13:51was diagnosed,
00:13:52I've given you
00:13:53over a million.
00:13:55I've repaid
00:13:56whatever I owed.
00:13:58Meadow lunges
00:13:59to slap me.
00:14:01I catch her wrist.
00:14:02I'm your mother!
00:14:04Are you going
00:14:05to hit me?!
00:14:08Don't ever
00:14:09try to touch me again.
00:14:12I pull photos
00:14:13from my bag
00:14:14and throw them
00:14:14on the table.
00:14:16Josia drinking
00:14:17at bars.
00:14:17He was never sick.
00:14:19This time,
00:14:20you need money
00:14:21because Kendall
00:14:21runs up gambling
00:14:22debts again.
00:14:23Right?
00:14:24I'm divorcing Xander.
00:14:26Your gambling debts
00:14:26are your own problem.
00:14:30Divorce?
00:14:31Have you lost
00:14:32your mind?
00:14:34If you divorce,
00:14:35you're no daughter
00:14:36of mine!
00:14:39Fine.
00:14:40Then we go
00:14:41our separate ways.
00:14:42Five million!
00:14:44Give us
00:14:45five million
00:14:45and we'll never
00:14:46bother you again!
00:14:54Five million.
00:14:57The nerve.
00:14:59I draft a statement
00:15:00cutting all ties
00:15:01on the spot
00:15:02and sign it.
00:15:10Meadow signs
00:15:11two.
00:15:12Five million
00:15:13for permanent
00:15:13freedom.
00:15:14It's worth it.
00:15:17After signing
00:15:18the severance
00:15:19agreement,
00:15:20I leave
00:15:20my adoptive
00:15:21parents'
00:15:22place.
00:15:23Xander is
00:15:24standing there
00:15:25with supplements?
00:15:26Rachel,
00:15:27why didn't you
00:15:27tell me you were
00:15:28coming?
00:15:28Still upset
00:15:29with me?
00:15:29I glance
00:15:30at Meadow.
00:15:31She remembers
00:15:32the five million
00:15:33and keeps
00:15:34her mouth shut.
00:15:35Xander,
00:15:36this is your
00:15:36fault.
00:15:37Rachel is
00:15:38sensitive.
00:15:39Now that you're
00:15:39married,
00:15:40you should keep
00:15:40your distance
00:15:41from other women.
00:15:42I don't want
00:15:42to see you
00:15:43right now.
00:15:43Just leave.
00:15:45Xander is
00:15:45scolding
00:15:46and slinks
00:15:46away.
00:15:47But he doesn't
00:15:48leave the neighborhood.
00:15:49He waits
00:15:50for me
00:15:50downstairs.
00:15:51Rachel,
00:15:52I know I was
00:15:53wrong.
00:15:53I'll keep my
00:15:54distance from
00:15:54Millie.
00:15:55After things
00:15:55settle,
00:15:56I'll take you
00:15:57on our honeymoon.
00:15:58Unless you
00:15:59cut her off
00:15:59completely,
00:16:00I'm not
00:16:00coming back.
00:16:02And the
00:16:03shares you
00:16:03promised for
00:16:04my perfume
00:16:04formulas,
00:16:05when will I
00:16:05get them?
00:16:07Didn't we
00:16:08agree those
00:16:08would be
00:16:09joint marital
00:16:09assets?
00:16:10Transfer me
00:16:11the equivalent
00:16:12shares.
00:16:12Otherwise,
00:16:13people will
00:16:13think you've
00:16:14been mooching
00:16:14off me.
00:16:19Are you
00:16:20serious?
00:16:21I take a
00:16:22taxi and
00:16:22leave.
00:16:24In the
00:16:24mirror,
00:16:25Xander
00:16:25stamps his
00:16:26foot in
00:16:26frustration.
00:16:33The next
00:16:34day,
00:16:34I go to
00:16:35Bexley's
00:16:36fashion design
00:16:36studio.
00:16:37She's my
00:16:38best friend
00:16:38from college.
00:16:41Rachel,
00:16:42fancy seeing
00:16:43you here.
00:16:43Back to
00:16:43making clothes
00:16:44for your
00:16:44mother-in-law?
00:16:49Bexley,
00:16:51I'm divorcing
00:16:52Xander.
00:16:55Divorce?
00:16:56What
00:16:57happened?
00:17:03I tell her
00:17:04about
00:17:05Xander and
00:17:05Millie.
00:17:07Xander is
00:17:08disgusting!
00:17:09I'm going to
00:17:10confront him
00:17:11right now!
00:17:13No need.
00:17:14I'm already
00:17:15handling it.
00:17:16When the
00:17:16contract expires
00:17:17in three months,
00:17:18I'll file for
00:17:19divorce.
00:17:20Divorce?
00:17:22Divorce?
00:17:23Divorce?
00:17:23Divorce?
00:17:24Divorce?
00:17:25Divorce?
00:17:26Divorce?
00:17:26Then why are you
00:17:27here today?
00:17:32I accidentally
00:17:33damaged someone's
00:17:34jacket.
00:17:35Can I use your
00:17:36studio for a few
00:17:37days?
00:17:37Whose jacket?
00:17:39Not Xander's, I
00:17:40hope.
00:17:42I'm not going to do
00:17:43anything for him.
00:17:45Kellen Mitchell's.
00:17:47Kailung Mitchell?
00:17:48The Crescent Group's
00:17:49CEO?
00:17:50How do you know him?
00:17:53Before I can answer,
00:17:54the door pushes open.
00:17:56Kellen walks in.
00:18:02Miss Brown, is that the
00:18:04jacket you promised to
00:18:05make?
00:18:06He's looking at the
00:18:08half-finished jacket on
00:18:08my work table.
00:18:09I'm doomed.
00:18:10I've been working out.
00:18:12My measurements might
00:18:13have changed.
00:18:15Measure me again,
00:18:16Miss Brown.
00:18:18No need.
00:18:19I remember them.
00:18:20Bexley makes an
00:18:21excuse about the
00:18:22warehouse and leaves
00:18:23us alone.
00:18:28Miss Brown, are you
00:18:30feeling shy?
00:18:32Not at all.
00:18:37I grab the tape and
00:18:39start measuring him.
00:18:41He stands close, his
00:18:43breath on my face.
00:18:47My build is better
00:18:48than Xander's, right?
00:18:51Just average.
00:18:58I shake the fabric on
00:19:00purpose.
00:19:03Dust flies.
00:19:04Kellen sneezes several
00:19:06times.
00:19:12You did that on
00:19:14purpose?
00:19:15Oh, Mr. Mitchell,
00:19:17are you allergic to
00:19:19dust?
00:19:20Maybe you should go
00:19:21rest.
00:19:23He glares at me and
00:19:24leaves.
00:19:25I feel secretly
00:19:26satisfied.
00:19:33Are you two done?
00:19:35There's nothing to end.
00:19:37We never started
00:19:38anything.
00:19:39Rachel, Kellen is a
00:19:40real catch.
00:19:41If you married him,
00:19:42Xander would lose his
00:19:43mind.
00:19:47I just got out of one
00:19:48marriage.
00:19:49I don't want to rush
00:19:49into another.
00:19:50That night, Bexley
00:19:52drags me to a bar.
00:19:53I like it.
00:19:57It's rare we get
00:19:58together.
00:19:58Let's relax.
00:20:00I'm wearing a white
00:20:01blouse and leather
00:20:02skirt.
00:20:04A man walks over
00:20:05with a drink.
00:20:07Hey, can I buy you
00:20:09a drink?
00:20:11Sorry, I don't drink
00:20:12what others hand me.
00:20:16My apologies.
00:20:17He won't give up.
00:20:19He steps closer.
00:20:21Isn't drinking about
00:20:22having fun?
00:20:23You two look bored.
00:20:25Why not join our
00:20:27table?
00:20:28I lose my patience.
00:20:29I grab the glass and
00:20:31throw it in his face.
00:20:33You refuse a toast
00:20:34only to drink a
00:20:35forfeit.
00:20:37Do you know who I am?
00:20:40He raises his fist
00:20:41to hit me.
00:20:43Suddenly, a hand
00:20:44catches his.
00:20:47Has the Quimby
00:20:48family forgotten
00:20:48their place lately?
00:20:50Kellen stands in
00:20:52front of me.
00:20:53Bernard recognizes
00:20:54him and slinks
00:20:54away.
00:20:58In the corner,
00:20:59Xander watches
00:21:00everything.
00:21:04Xander walks over
00:21:05and stands in
00:21:06front of me.
00:21:10Mr. Mitchell,
00:21:10Rachel can't
00:21:11drink.
00:21:12I'll take this
00:21:12for her.
00:21:15I don't need
00:21:16you.
00:21:21Your best friend
00:21:22is sitting alone
00:21:22over there.
00:21:24Aren't you afraid
00:21:25something will
00:21:26happen to her?
00:21:27Millie is sitting
00:21:27in the corner,
00:21:28her face dark.
00:21:30Millie and I have
00:21:31known each other
00:21:31for years.
00:21:32We're just friends.
00:21:34You say you're
00:21:35just friends,
00:21:36but I saw her
00:21:37leaning on you.
00:21:40That's not true.
00:21:46If you want the
00:21:47truth,
00:21:47we can check
00:21:48the security footage.
00:21:52I've decided to
00:21:53partner with the
00:21:54Crescent Group
00:21:55instead.
00:21:59Rachel,
00:21:59you can be angry,
00:22:01but business is not
00:22:02something to play with.
00:22:03Who's playing?
00:22:04You haven't given me
00:22:05anything you promised.
00:22:11At least with Crescent,
00:22:12I'll get paid.
00:22:14Millie comes over
00:22:15and pretends
00:22:16she and Xander
00:22:17are just friends.
00:22:22It makes me sick.
00:22:27Millie,
00:22:27do you enjoy
00:22:29taking what belongs
00:22:30to someone else?
00:22:36To calm me down,
00:22:38Xander sends
00:22:39Millie away.
00:22:41He begs me
00:22:42to come home.
00:22:45Rachel,
00:22:46please.
00:22:49Fine.
00:22:50Since you're being
00:22:51sincere,
00:22:52I'm tired.
00:22:54Let's go home.
00:22:55I take his hand.
00:22:57Bexley looks
00:22:58confused.
00:22:59I wink at her.
00:23:01Back home,
00:23:02I pull away
00:23:03from Xander's arm
00:23:04around my waist.
00:23:06Don't you get
00:23:06carsick?
00:23:07Why not sit up front?
00:23:09Your best friend
00:23:10left a lot of her
00:23:10things in the
00:23:11passenger seat.
00:23:13I don't like
00:23:14competing for space.
00:23:16Xander awkwardly
00:23:17picks up
00:23:18Millie's lipstick.
00:23:20Rachel,
00:23:21when will you
00:23:21give me the
00:23:22new perfume formula?
00:23:23Production is asking.
00:23:23Smell this.
00:23:25It's my new formula.
00:23:26I take the sample.
00:23:28He smells it.
00:23:29His eyes light up.
00:23:30This scent is amazing.
00:23:32It's gonna sell
00:23:32like crazy.
00:23:33I'm not completely
00:23:34happy with it yet.
00:23:35It needs adjustments.
00:23:37But I'm running
00:23:38out of money.
00:23:39I'll cover
00:23:40your material costs.
00:23:44Let me transfer
00:23:45you $200,000 first.
00:23:49Give me company
00:23:50access so I can
00:23:51get money directly
00:23:52from finance.
00:23:56You've thought
00:23:57of everything.
00:23:59I take out
00:24:00the prepared documents
00:24:01and have him sign.
00:24:02He doesn't read a word,
00:24:04including the one
00:24:05my lawyer slipped in.
00:24:11After signing,
00:24:13Xander tries to get
00:24:13close to me.
00:24:14Rachel,
00:24:15you look
00:24:16beautiful.
00:24:17I've neglected you.
00:24:18Let me make it up
00:24:19to you tonight.
00:24:20Aren't you afraid
00:24:21Millie will find out?
00:24:22Isn't she helping you
00:24:23with the Shaw family project?
00:24:24We're just friends.
00:24:25She's a total tomboy.
00:24:26Not attractive at all.
00:24:27Listening to him
00:24:27put down Millie
00:24:28just to please me,
00:24:29I laugh
00:24:30coldly inside.
00:24:32And I have no interest
00:24:32in her.
00:24:33Wait.
00:24:33Look at this.
00:24:35This is all the money
00:24:36you've spent on Millie
00:24:37over two years.
00:24:38If it's joint property,
00:24:40it's inappropriate
00:24:41and you're cutting her off,
00:24:42you should get this money back.
00:24:46That amount is just
00:24:47pocket money
00:24:47for families like ours.
00:24:51Asking for it back
00:24:52is like stepping
00:24:53on my pride.
00:24:55If you won't do that,
00:24:57then give me
00:24:57the same amount.
00:24:59That's only fair.
00:25:05Fine.
00:25:06I agree.
00:25:08Transfer it now.
00:25:09Put voluntary gift
00:25:10in the memo.
00:25:11Hurry.
00:25:13He takes out his phone
00:25:14and transfers me
00:25:15ten million.
00:25:19I screenshot it
00:25:20and send it to Millie
00:25:21along with a photo
00:25:22of his clothes
00:25:23outside the bathroom.
00:25:26Let the show begin.
00:25:28Less than a minute later,
00:25:30Xander's phone rings.
00:25:32Millie's special ringtone.
00:25:33He picks up his phone
00:25:35and answers.
00:25:36Millie's tearful voice
00:25:38comes through.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40You fell down the stairs?
00:25:41I'm coming right now!
00:25:45Don't go.
00:25:47You promised
00:25:48to stay with me.
00:25:52It's an emergency.
00:25:53I swear,
00:25:53after this,
00:25:54I'll never see her again.
00:25:55He's out the door
00:25:56before he finishes speaking.
00:25:58The engine
00:25:59starts outside.
00:26:01No!
00:26:07I'm not sad at all,
00:26:08looking at the ten million
00:26:10in my account.
00:26:15I lock my door
00:26:17and leave.
00:26:22Everything that needed
00:26:23signing is signed.
00:26:24I don't care
00:26:25where Xander goes now.
00:26:27Xander arrives
00:26:28at the hotel.
00:26:30Millie
00:26:31and slumped over
00:26:31the table,
00:26:32drunk.
00:26:34You're busy
00:26:35sleeping with Rachel.
00:26:36why are you
00:26:36even here?
00:26:39Why did you
00:26:40drink so much?
00:26:41Where are you hurt?
00:26:42Right here.
00:26:44My heart
00:26:45hurts.
00:26:46She pours
00:26:47Xander a drink.
00:26:49They drink
00:26:49together.
00:26:51Within an hour,
00:26:52Xander is drunk too.
00:26:55Who's better?
00:26:56Me or her?
00:26:57Can her body
00:26:58compare to mine?
00:26:59Of course not.
00:27:01Millie
00:27:02straddles his lap
00:27:03and wraps her arms
00:27:04around his neck.
00:27:06Xander rolls over
00:27:07and pins her down.
00:27:09The next morning,
00:27:10Xander wakes up
00:27:11shirtless
00:27:12with Millie beside him.
00:27:13He checks his phone.
00:27:15No messages from me.
00:27:16He feels
00:27:17an unfamiliar guilt.
00:27:19Morning, honey.
00:27:20Millie,
00:27:21Rachel might have
00:27:21found out.
00:27:22Maybe we should-
00:27:23So what if she found out?
00:27:24What's wrong with
00:27:25friends drinking
00:27:26and spending the night?
00:27:30Millie thinks
00:27:31she has Xander
00:27:32wrapped around
00:27:33her finger again.
00:27:34I contacted
00:27:36the hotel manager
00:27:36long ago
00:27:37and had cameras
00:27:38installed in Xander
00:27:39and Millie's suite.
00:27:40Every video
00:27:41and photo
00:27:42from last night
00:27:43is crystal clear.
00:27:44I save them
00:27:45to my phone.
00:27:46To take him
00:27:47to court
00:27:47one time
00:27:48isn't enough.
00:27:50I need proof
00:27:51of repeated affairs.
00:27:52Now I have it.
00:27:55Xander returns
00:27:56to the villa
00:27:57and finds me
00:27:58gone again
00:27:58and calls me.
00:28:00Rachel,
00:28:01why aren't you home?
00:28:02Weren't you working
00:28:02on the formula?
00:28:03When are you coming back?
00:28:05I send him
00:28:06the hotel photos
00:28:07from last night.
00:28:13Then I block him.
00:28:20I open my email
00:28:21and receive
00:28:22new surveillance footage.
00:28:24More and more evidence.
00:28:37Xander's good days
00:28:38are numbered.
00:28:48He tries calling
00:28:49from several different numbers.
00:28:51I block them
00:28:52one by one.
00:28:53My phone finally
00:28:54goes silent.
00:28:56I open the new
00:28:57Spencer Group's
00:28:58stock is already dropping.
00:29:02A former colleague
00:29:04sends me a screenshot.
00:29:06Xander added Millie
00:29:07to the company chat
00:29:08and made her
00:29:09technical director.
00:29:22The chat is full
00:29:23of welcome messages.
00:29:25I laugh coldly.
00:29:28I was the one
00:29:28who built this company
00:29:29with my perfume formulas.
00:29:37Now they want
00:29:37to push me out.
00:29:38Let's see how long
00:29:40Spencer Group lasts
00:29:41without me.
00:29:50Miss Brown,
00:29:51the evidence
00:29:51is more than sufficient
00:29:52but the contract
00:29:53still has two months left.
00:29:55Are you sure
00:29:56you want to file now?
00:29:58Wait.
00:30:00I want to make sure
00:30:02they never get back up.
00:30:05Millie sends me a message.
00:30:06A selfie of her sitting
00:30:07at Xander's desk.
00:30:08She's wearing a new dress,
00:30:10smiling brightly.
00:30:12Rachel?
00:30:14Xander gave me
00:30:14the whole technical department.
00:30:16His desk is so big,
00:30:17comfortable to sit at.
00:30:18I'll take good care
00:30:18of his company.
00:30:20I save the screenshot
00:30:22and send it to my lawyer too.
00:30:24The more she gloats,
00:30:26the more evidence I have.
00:30:30Every penny Xander spends
00:30:32on her
00:30:32is part of our joint assets.
00:30:36Another message
00:30:37from my former colleague.
00:30:38Two major clients
00:30:40of Spencer Group
00:30:40pull out.
00:30:41Their partners
00:30:42suddenly terminated
00:30:43their contracts.
00:30:44The stock price
00:30:45is still dropping.
00:30:50The former colleague
00:30:51called me
00:30:51and asked if I was
00:30:52really not planning
00:30:53to come back.
00:30:53She said the company
00:30:54was a complete mess
00:30:56and everyone wanted to leave.
00:30:57I'm not coming back.
00:30:58You should start
00:30:59looking elsewhere too.
00:31:01Spencer Group
00:31:01won't last much longer.
00:31:03Kellen asks to meet.
00:31:05He says he wants
00:31:06to discuss cooperation.
00:31:09At his office,
00:31:10he pushes a contract
00:31:12in front of me.
00:31:16Miss Brown,
00:31:18Crescent Group
00:31:19will buy your perfume formula.
00:31:22Triple what Xander paid you.
00:31:25change any terms
00:31:26you want.
00:31:28I trust you.
00:31:33And even if you try anything,
00:31:35my legal team
00:31:35isn't useless.
00:31:37No one dares
00:31:38to cheat me.
00:31:40I sign.
00:31:41He puts away
00:31:42the contract
00:31:43and suddenly
00:31:44walks up to me.
00:31:45He speaks again.
00:31:52I sign.
00:31:53I sign.
00:31:53Miss Brown,
00:31:56marry me.
00:32:00Mr. Mitchell,
00:32:01marriage isn't on my list
00:32:02right now.
00:32:03I just got out of one lie.
00:32:05I don't want to jump
00:32:06into another.
00:32:11This isn't a lie.
00:32:12I'm serious.
00:32:18But we barely
00:32:19know each other.
00:32:23Then let's get
00:32:24to know each other.
00:32:31I'm not in a hurry.
00:32:32After signing,
00:32:34Kellen says
00:32:34he'll take me
00:32:35to see Mr. Barnes.
00:32:36At Mr. Barnes'
00:32:38place,
00:32:38my mentor
00:32:39is very happy
00:32:40to see me.
00:32:41He holds my hand
00:32:42and won't let go.
00:32:44Rachel,
00:32:45I'm glad you're
00:32:46joining the program.
00:32:47You turned me down
00:32:48three times before.
00:32:52I thought you
00:32:52would never come.
00:32:56Mr. Barnes,
00:32:57I was young
00:32:58and foolish,
00:32:59blinded by love.
00:33:03I won't let you
00:33:04down again.
00:33:05Kellen,
00:33:05go get the materials
00:33:07for Rachel.
00:33:09Second drawer
00:33:10in my study.
00:33:13After Kellen
00:33:14leaves,
00:33:15Mr. Barnes
00:33:16speaks quietly
00:33:17to me.
00:33:18His expression
00:33:19is very serious.
00:33:22Rachel,
00:33:24Kellen is stubborn
00:33:25and doesn't know
00:33:26how to talk sweetly.
00:33:28But his feelings
00:33:30for you
00:33:31are real.
00:33:33I've never seen
00:33:34him care about
00:33:35someone this much.
00:33:38Mr. Barnes,
00:33:40why are you
00:33:41defending him?
00:33:43Who is he
00:33:44to you?
00:33:47Because he's
00:33:48my grandson.
00:33:51Kellen Mitchell
00:33:54is my own
00:33:55grandson.
00:33:57I freeze.
00:34:04Leaving Mr. Barnes'
00:34:05place,
00:34:06Kellen drives me
00:34:07home.
00:34:08I don't say a word
00:34:09the whole way.
00:34:11He keeps stealing
00:34:12glances at me.
00:34:14Miss Brown,
00:34:15why are you
00:34:15so quiet?
00:34:16Did my grandfather
00:34:17say something to you?
00:34:21You're Mr. Barnes'
00:34:22grandson?
00:34:23Why didn't you
00:34:24tell me?
00:34:24Did you hit it
00:34:25on purpose?
00:34:26You didn't ask.
00:34:27And does it matter?
00:34:29Whose son
00:34:30or grandson
00:34:31I am
00:34:31doesn't affect
00:34:32my wanting
00:34:32to work with you.
00:34:34I'm speechless.
00:34:36He's always
00:34:36got an excuse.
00:34:38But he's right.
00:34:39I never asked.
00:34:47Miss Brown,
00:34:48the program
00:34:48starts next week.
00:34:49Are you ready?
00:34:51Yes.
00:34:52We'll be isolated
00:34:53for a full month.
00:34:57I'm ready.
00:34:58I've finished
00:34:59reading all the
00:35:00materials.
00:35:01I'll be there too.
00:35:02By then,
00:35:03we'll be colleagues.
00:35:08What are you
00:35:09going there for?
00:35:10I'm the investor.
00:35:12I need to
00:35:12supervise the progress.
00:35:18He smiles.
00:35:19I have a feeling
00:35:20he's lying.
00:35:22The day of the
00:35:23program arrives.
00:35:24I stand on the
00:35:25curb with my
00:35:26suitcase.
00:35:32Helen's
00:35:33Maybox stops
00:35:34in front of me.
00:35:35Get in.
00:35:36I'll take you
00:35:37to the base.
00:35:41It's hard to get
00:35:42a taxi here.
00:35:45I waited 10 minutes
00:35:46and didn't see
00:35:46a single one.
00:35:48You waited 10 minutes
00:35:49for me?
00:35:50How did you know
00:35:51I would come out
00:35:51at this time?
00:35:52I guessed.
00:35:53Get in or you'll
00:35:54be late.
00:35:56I get in.
00:35:58He puts my suitcase
00:35:59in the trunk.
00:36:02The base is in the
00:36:03suburbs.
00:36:04An hour's drive
00:36:05away.
00:36:07At the base,
00:36:08I'm assigned to
00:36:09group five.
00:36:11Joelle, once a
00:36:12student in the same
00:36:13college as me,
00:36:14is in my group.
00:36:15She's a very
00:36:15lively girl.
00:36:17Rachel, I'm so
00:36:18happy to be in the
00:36:19same group as you.
00:36:20I heard you were
00:36:21amazing back in
00:36:22school.
00:36:22We're chatting
00:36:23when a familiar
00:36:23voice comes from
00:36:24behind.
00:36:26Rosalyn,
00:36:27Xander's younger
00:36:27sister.
00:36:28She's in this
00:36:29program too.
00:36:30So it's you,
00:36:31Rachel.
00:36:32What are you doing
00:36:33here?
00:36:34Come to make a
00:36:35fool of yourself?
00:36:36Does my brother
00:36:36know you're here?
00:36:41Is this how you
00:36:42talk to your
00:36:42sister-in-law?
00:36:44Is this how your
00:36:45brother raised you?
00:36:46Sister-in-law?
00:36:48Who do you think
00:36:49you are?
00:36:49My brother should
00:36:50have kicked you
00:36:51out long ago.
00:36:54You wait.
00:36:56I'm calling him
00:36:57right now.
00:36:57You'll hear his
00:36:58shout soon.
00:37:01I've already
00:37:02blocked your
00:37:02brother's number.
00:37:04Go ahead and
00:37:05call.
00:37:05See if he can
00:37:06get through.
00:37:08Rosalyn is
00:37:09furious.
00:37:11She doesn't
00:37:12know I've
00:37:12completely cut
00:37:13ties with her
00:37:14brother.
00:37:15The first task
00:37:15is to find a
00:37:16rare spice called
00:37:17Dawnleaf.
00:37:18I take Joelle
00:37:19and my teammates
00:37:20into the forest.
00:37:21Dawnleaf has a
00:37:22very distinctive
00:37:23scent that spreads
00:37:24far.
00:37:25It smells close,
00:37:26but it could be
00:37:27miles away.
00:37:28Rachel, do you
00:37:29smell that?
00:37:30It's wonderful.
00:37:31Like orchids, but
00:37:32not quite.
00:37:35That's Dawnleaf.
00:37:36Only one has been
00:37:37found in the country.
00:37:38I didn't expect to
00:37:39find it here too.
00:37:41I follow the scent
00:37:42for a long time.
00:37:43In the evening, I
00:37:45finally find it deep
00:37:46inside a cave.
00:37:56I carefully dig
00:37:57out the Dawnleaf
00:37:59and put it in a
00:38:00pot.
00:38:02My mentor tells
00:38:03me the investor
00:38:04wants to have
00:38:05dinner with whoever
00:38:06found it.
00:38:08I go to the
00:38:08top floor restaurant.
00:38:10I push the door
00:38:11open.
00:38:12Kellen is sitting
00:38:12inside.
00:38:13He's wearing a
00:38:14black suit, looking
00:38:15more allure than
00:38:16usual.
00:38:18You're the
00:38:18investor?
00:38:20Crescent Group
00:38:21invested in Mr.
00:38:22Barnes' program?
00:38:23Miss Brown, please
00:38:23sit.
00:38:24I've already ordered
00:38:25all your favorites.
00:38:30How do you know
00:38:31what I like?
00:38:36I did my research.
00:38:39He answers
00:38:40without any guilt.
00:38:41I don't know
00:38:42whether to be angry
00:38:43or amused.
00:38:47The next day
00:38:48at lunch,
00:38:48I go to the
00:38:49cafeteria again.
00:38:54Miss Brown,
00:38:55did you rest well
00:38:55yesterday?
00:38:56Is the bed too
00:38:57hard?
00:38:58Should I have them
00:38:59change your room?
00:38:59No need.
00:39:00Mr. Mitchell,
00:39:01can you please not
00:39:01talk to me in public
00:39:02like this?
00:39:03It draws too much
00:39:03attention.
00:39:04I don't care what
00:39:05people think.
00:39:06Rosalyn walks over
00:39:08and raises her voice
00:39:09on purpose,
00:39:10wanting everyone to
00:39:11hear.
00:39:11Rachel, you're a
00:39:12married woman.
00:39:13First you seduced my
00:39:14brother, now you're
00:39:14seducing the boss?
00:39:15Shameless.
00:39:16My brother was blind
00:39:17to marry you.
00:39:18Anyone who spreads
00:39:19rumors will leave
00:39:20this program.
00:39:21I don't need people
00:39:21who don't respect
00:39:22their colleagues.
00:39:23The cafeteria goes
00:39:24silent.
00:39:25You can hear people
00:39:25breathing.
00:39:26Kellen calls over
00:39:27the cafeteria manager.
00:39:28From today on,
00:39:30Miss Brown's meal
00:39:30budget is separate.
00:39:31Lobster, steak,
00:39:32whatever she wants,
00:39:33you make it.
00:39:34Charge it to my
00:39:34account.
00:39:35Why does she get
00:39:36such good food?
00:39:37This isn't fair!
00:39:41Because I like her.
00:39:50Everyone stares at me.
00:39:54But my heart is
00:39:55pounding like crazy.
00:39:56In the evening,
00:39:57Kellen asks to meet
00:39:58me at the private
00:39:59dining room again.
00:40:00I go.
00:40:00I know what he
00:40:01wants to say.
00:40:02Mr. Mitchell,
00:40:03aren't you tired
00:40:04of seeing me every
00:40:05day?
00:40:05Everyone in the
00:40:06program is already
00:40:07gossiping.
00:40:08Not at all.
00:40:09I'm seeing someone
00:40:10I like.
00:40:11What business is it
00:40:12of theirs?
00:40:14You're always like
00:40:15this.
00:40:15You don't care about
00:40:16how others feel.
00:40:18He stands up and
00:40:19walks to me.
00:40:20Before I can react,
00:40:21he suddenly bends
00:40:22down and kisses the
00:40:23corner of my lips.
00:40:26Are you crazy?
00:40:28Rachel, I like you.
00:40:30From the first time
00:40:31I saw you at the
00:40:32coffee house,
00:40:33when you fell into
00:40:34my arms, I knew.
00:40:35That was our first
00:40:36meeting.
00:40:37What do you know
00:40:38about liking someone?
00:40:39For some people,
00:40:40once is enough.
00:40:41You don't need to
00:40:42know them for a long
00:40:42time.
00:40:43My heartbeat doesn't
00:40:44lie.
00:40:45He's so serious.
00:40:46I look into his eyes.
00:40:48There's no joke in
00:40:49them.
00:40:49My heart is pounding.
00:40:53Kellen.
00:40:53I'm not divorced yet.
00:40:54I don't want to talk
00:40:55about this right now.
00:40:59I can wait.
00:41:01As long as it takes.
00:41:06I push him away and
00:41:08run.
00:41:08At the door, I look
00:41:10back.
00:41:10He's still standing
00:41:12there watching me.
00:41:16On the third day, I
00:41:18take Joelle and Xander
00:41:19into the forest again
00:41:20to search for spices.
00:41:21I walk ahead, tying
00:41:23cloth strips on trees
00:41:24as markers.
00:41:25Rachel, let's split up.
00:41:27It'll be more efficient.
00:41:28Xander and I will go
00:41:29left.
00:41:29Okay, stay safe.
00:41:31Meet at the rendezvous
00:41:32point before dark.
00:41:33I'll go deeper.
00:41:41I leave markers along
00:41:42the way and find
00:41:44several rare spices.
00:41:46But when I try to go
00:41:47back, something feels
00:41:50wrong.
00:41:54Someone moved my
00:41:55markers.
00:41:56Several cloth strips are
00:41:57tied to different trees,
00:41:59pointing in completely
00:42:00wrong directions.
00:42:05I walk in circles, but
00:42:07can't find my way back.
00:42:08The sky is getting
00:42:10darker, and fog is
00:42:11starting to roll in.
00:42:13A wild boar's howl comes
00:42:14from deep in the forest.
00:42:16My heart pounds.
00:42:17Who moved my
00:42:18markers?
00:42:19Rosalyn.
00:42:20It must be her.
00:42:21I climb up a big tree
00:42:22and hide among the
00:42:23branches.
00:42:25Rustling sounds come
00:42:26from below.
00:42:28The wild boar is really
00:42:29here.
00:42:39I hide in the tree.
00:42:41The wild boar is ramming
00:42:43the trunk below.
00:42:44The branches are shaking.
00:42:45I'm losing my grip.
00:42:49My arms are shaking
00:42:50from exhaustion.
00:42:51It's getting darker.
00:42:53The only sounds in the
00:42:54forest are the boar's
00:42:55grunts and my own
00:42:56heartbeat.
00:42:58The boar finally leaves.
00:43:00Just as I'm about to
00:43:01climb down, I hear
00:43:02someone calling my name.
00:43:04It's Kellen's voice.
00:43:07Rachel!
00:43:09Where are you?
00:43:10Where are you?
00:43:19I'm here!
00:43:20In the tree!
00:43:23Kellen runs under the tree.
00:43:25I start climbing down,
00:43:27but the branch suddenly
00:43:28snaps.
00:43:31I fall!
00:43:34I think I'm going to
00:43:35hit the ground, but I
00:43:37fall into someone's arms.
00:43:39Kellen catches me.
00:43:40Are you okay?
00:43:45I'm fine.
00:43:48You...
00:43:48I look down.
00:43:50A broken branch is
00:43:51stuck in his leg.
00:43:53You're hurt!
00:43:53Someone call for help!
00:43:54Don't shout.
00:43:55I'm fine.
00:43:56You're safe.
00:43:57That's all that matters.
00:43:59His face is pale,
00:44:01covered in sweat.
00:44:02Blood runs down his
00:44:04calf, staining his
00:44:05pants red.
00:44:07Kellen is taken to
00:44:08the base's infirmary.
00:44:09The doctor says his
00:44:11calf is fractured.
00:44:12He'll need at least a
00:44:13month to recover.
00:44:15Mr. Mitchell?
00:44:16Try to stay off your
00:44:17feet as much as
00:44:17possible.
00:44:18Don't put weight on it
00:44:19until the bone heals.
00:44:21Got it.
00:44:21You can leave now.
00:44:25I stand at the door of
00:44:26the ward, afraid to go
00:44:27in.
00:44:28This is all my fault.
00:44:29If he hadn't tried to
00:44:31save me, he wouldn't be
00:44:32hurt.
00:44:37What are you doing
00:44:38standing at the door?
00:44:40Come in.
00:44:45I'm sorry.
00:44:47This is all my fault.
00:44:49What's your fault?
00:44:50That you were chased by a
00:44:52wild boar, or that I came to
00:44:54save you?
00:44:54Don't overthink it.
00:44:56The doctor says you need a
00:44:58month to recover.
00:44:59What about your work?
00:45:03I can work remotely, but you owe
00:45:07me a favor.
00:45:07You have to pay it back.
00:45:09How?
00:45:10Come take care of me every
00:45:12day.
00:45:13Bring me tea and water, feed me,
00:45:16talk to me.
00:45:17I don't like nurses.
00:45:25He smiles like a child.
00:45:27I know he's doing this on
00:45:28purpose, but I can't say no.
00:45:31The next day, I gather my
00:45:32teammates together.
00:45:36I need to find out who moved
00:45:37my trail markers.
00:45:41Yesterday, I got lost in the
00:45:42forest.
00:45:43Someone deliberately moved my
00:45:45markers.
00:45:45I'm not letting this go.
00:45:47What does you getting lost
00:45:49have to do with me?
00:45:50You have no sense of
00:45:51direction and you blame
00:45:52others?
00:45:53I didn't say it was you.
00:45:54Why are you so quick to
00:45:55defend yourself?
00:45:57Rosalind's face changes.
00:46:01I pull a cloth strip from my
00:46:03pocket, the one I found in
00:46:04her bag.
00:46:06This is my trail marker.
00:46:08It was in your bag.
00:46:09Explain that.
00:46:11I...
00:46:13I...
00:46:13I don't know how it got in
00:46:14my bag.
00:46:20Someone must be setting me up.
00:46:22Then why did you go to my
00:46:24area yesterday?
00:46:26Your task was in the south.
00:46:28I...
00:46:29I got lost.
00:46:31Got lost?
00:46:37Then how did you manage to find
00:46:39my marker and hide it in your bag?
00:46:41She has nothing to say.
00:46:45The base leaders arrive.
00:46:47After reviewing the evidence,
00:46:49they give her a disciplinary penalty.
00:46:51Rosalind.
00:46:52A serious violation recorded.
00:46:58All points reset to zero.
00:47:00I...
00:47:04Rosalind clenches her teeth and glares at me.
00:47:07I know she hates me.
00:47:09But I hate her more for nearly getting me killed.
00:47:16The program takes a long day break.
00:47:19My brother, Rhett, calls and says the Shaw family's homecoming banquet is tonight.
00:47:24I have to attend.
00:47:26Ray, just show up tonight.
00:47:29You don't have to do anything.
00:47:34A Shaw daughter doesn't need to please anyone.
00:47:42Right.
00:47:43What should I wear?
00:47:46I already had the gown sent to your villa.
00:47:49Only one in the world,
00:47:51handmade by Master Velche himself.
00:47:58I put on the gown.
00:47:59The hem is studded with 10,000 diamonds.
00:48:15I walk into the banquet hall.
00:48:18Every eye in the room turns to me.
00:48:28Two people in the corner freeze.
00:48:31Xander and Millie.
00:48:32What are they doing here?
00:48:40Millie.
00:48:42What is Rachel doing here?
00:48:46How could she afford a dress like that?
00:48:49How should I know?
00:48:53Maybe she found a sugar daddy.
00:48:56Speaking of this,
00:48:58didn't you say she was just a country girl?
00:49:07Millie pulls Xander and walks toward me.
00:49:10There's a fake smile plastered on her face.
00:49:13Rachel,
00:49:13what are you doing here?
00:49:16You can't get into a banquet like this without an invitation.
00:49:23You didn't sneak in,
00:49:25you didn't sneak in,
00:49:25did you?
00:49:25I was invited by the Shaw family.
00:49:32Do you have a problem with that?
00:49:37The Shaw?
00:49:40The Shaw's invited you?
00:49:42How could you possibly know the Shaw family?
00:49:50That's none of your concern.
00:49:55That dress.
00:49:57That dress.
00:49:57It must be fake, right?
00:49:59Master Veltier never authorized replicas.
00:50:02There's only one in the world.
00:50:04How could you afford it?
00:50:09You say my dress is fake.
00:50:11You say my dress is fake.
00:50:11Do you have proof?
00:50:14Or do you assume everyone else can't afford it?
00:50:18Just because you can't?
00:50:21I know you're not as innocent as you pretend to be.
00:50:24Millie's face turns bright red.
00:50:25Xander stands next to her,
00:50:28looking equally uncomfortable.
00:50:30He doesn't know what to say.
00:50:34Smell this perfume.
00:50:36I made it myself.
00:50:38It's much better than your formulas.
00:50:41She hands me a bottle of perfume.
00:50:44I smell it.
00:50:49This is my formula.
00:50:51A half-finished version from my computer.
00:50:54She stole from me.
00:51:04Reet walks down the stairs.
00:51:06The banquet hall goes quiet.
00:51:07All eyes turn to him.
00:51:14Mr. Shaw, hello.
00:51:16I'm Millie Clark, representing Spencer Group.
00:51:18This is a new perfume I created.
00:51:20Please try it.
00:51:24Rhett picked up the perfume and smelled it.
00:51:28Not bad.
00:51:30This is Crescent Group's Whispering Grass released last week.
00:51:34You're saying you made it?
00:51:37What?
00:51:43That's impossible.
00:51:44I really made this myself.
00:51:46Shall I bring out a bottle for comparison?
00:51:50Miss Clark,
00:51:52admiring what belongs to others is fine.
00:51:55But trying to claim it as your own?
00:51:57That's a problem.
00:52:00The whole room erupts.
00:52:03Millie's face goes white.
00:52:07Xander is stunned, too.
00:52:09He knows Millie lied to him.
00:52:14This is the Shaw Family Banquet.
00:52:16This is the Shaw Family Banquet.
00:52:17Reputation matters most to us.
00:52:22Mr. Spencer, Miss Clark,
00:52:25your behavior is unacceptable.
00:52:27Please leave.
00:52:29Security escorts them out.
00:52:38My brother looks at me and nods slightly.
00:52:41I feel incredibly satisfied.
00:52:44After the banquet,
00:52:45Helen and I walk by the river.
00:52:47He's in a wheelchair.
00:52:49And I'm pushing him.
00:52:52Miss Brown,
00:52:53are you happy today?
00:52:54Watching those two get kicked out,
00:52:56that must feel good.
00:52:58Not bad.
00:53:00I heard the Shaw daughter didn't show up tonight.
00:53:02People say she's ugly and afraid to be seen.
00:53:05Grew up in the countryside.
00:53:07Probably knows nothing.
00:53:08He's insulting me again.
00:53:10He doesn't know that I am that country girl.
00:53:12I'm too angry to speak.
00:53:14Mr. Mitchell,
00:53:15you've never met her,
00:53:16yet you judge her so harshly.
00:53:18What if she's actually good?
00:53:20Good?
00:53:20What can you learn in the countryside?
00:53:22The shahs only brought her back
00:53:24for a marriage alliance.
00:53:25My grandfather wanted me to marry her.
00:53:28I refused.
00:53:29Why did you refuse?
00:53:30I don't need a marriage alliance.
00:53:33Besides,
00:53:33a woman from the countryside
00:53:35could never be worthy to me.
00:53:41Miss Brown!
00:53:44I turn around and leave in anger.
00:53:47He calls after me,
00:53:48but I ignore him.
00:53:51Back at the base,
00:53:53a new person joins the program.
00:53:55My mentor says
00:53:56he's been transferred from overseas.
00:53:58His name is Horace Williams.
00:54:01Rachel?
00:54:02What a coincidence.
00:54:04I didn't expect to run into you here.
00:54:07Horace?
00:54:07What are you doing here?
00:54:09I thought you were building
00:54:10your career overseas.
00:54:11Got transferred back.
00:54:13I heard you were here,
00:54:14so I applied.
00:54:15It's been years, hasn't it?
00:54:19Rachel?
00:54:20You know him?
00:54:22He's a friend from college.
00:54:23He helped me a lot back then.
00:54:26Horace is gentle and soft-spoken.
00:54:30Joelle's eyes light up
00:54:31when she sees him.
00:54:35Rachel?
00:54:36Want to have lunch together?
00:54:37It's been a while.
00:54:39I'd love to catch up.
00:54:42Sure.
00:54:48In the cafeteria,
00:54:49Kellen sits in his wheelchair,
00:54:51watching me laugh and talk with Horace.
00:54:57His expression is dark.
00:55:00Kellen wheels over.
00:55:03Miss Brown,
00:55:05I'm almost out of my medication.
00:55:07Could you go get some from the infirmary?
00:55:09Don't you have nurses?
00:55:11They don't know which one it is.
00:55:13You go get it.
00:55:15I'll wait.
00:55:16I have no choice but to go.
00:55:23When I come back,
00:55:25Kellen and Horace are talking.
00:55:27Neither of them is smiling.
00:55:30After dinner,
00:55:31I go to Kellen's room
00:55:32to check on his leg.
00:55:37The Lynx,
00:55:38Max,
00:55:39darts in past my feet.
00:55:40Max,
00:55:41don't run around!
00:55:44The Lynx jumps onto Kellen's bed
00:55:47and moves close to his face.
00:55:49Kellen's face turns pale instantly.
00:55:53Take it.
00:55:54Take it away.
00:55:56What's wrong?
00:55:57Are you afraid of cats?
00:55:58I'm not afraid.
00:55:59I just
00:56:00don't like them.
00:56:02His voice is shaking,
00:56:04sweat dripping from his forehead.
00:56:06He's lying.
00:56:10I quickly carry the Lynx away.
00:56:18Helen!
00:56:20What's wrong?
00:56:20Don't scare me like this!
00:56:22When I return to the room,
00:56:24Kellen is lying on the bed,
00:56:26his face pale.
00:56:28He doesn't respond.
00:56:29I run out and call for the doctor.
00:56:32The doctor rushes in
00:56:33and examines him.
00:56:36He's had a severe shock.
00:56:38His psychological trauma is serious,
00:56:40especially regarding felines.
00:56:42You can't keep pets near him.
00:56:44Psychological trauma?
00:56:46What happened to him before?
00:56:48I don't know the details.
00:56:51But his medical records show he was attacked by a large feline in his childhood.
00:56:56He almost died.
00:56:59He almost died.
00:56:59I freeze.
00:57:00So he wasn't being dramatic.
00:57:02He's genuinely scared.
00:57:04Every time he saw my Lynx,
00:57:07he must have been pain.
00:57:10Kellen wakes up.
00:57:11Kellen wakes up.
00:57:12Seeing me beside him,
00:57:13he forces a smile.
00:57:15I'm fine.
00:57:16Just low blood sugar.
00:57:18Don't worry.
00:57:21The doctor told me.
00:57:24You're afraid of cats.
00:57:26Why didn't you say so earlier?
00:57:32I didn't want you to think I'm weak.
00:57:37He looks at me with something in his eyes
00:57:39I've never seen before.
00:57:42My heart clenches.
00:57:43The final evaluation day arrives.
00:57:46The task is to recreate a specific scent
00:57:49and add functionality.
00:57:50I stayed up for three nights
00:57:52and finally finished my perfume.
00:57:54When I submitted it,
00:57:56I was confident.
00:57:58The results are announced the next day.
00:58:01I freeze.
00:58:02I'm ranked second to last.
00:58:04First place goes to Rosalyn.
00:58:08Rachel, how is that possible?
00:58:10Your perfume was clearly the best.
00:58:13Some people only know how to take shortcuts.
00:58:16No real talent.
00:58:21Feeling humiliated now?
00:58:23I want to see my submission.
00:58:29I go to the person in charge, Dahlia.
00:58:36She takes me to the storage room
00:58:37and brings out the perfume with my name on it.
00:58:43I picked up the perfume
00:58:44and smelled it.
00:58:48This isn't my work.
00:58:50Someone switched it.
00:58:52What did you say?
00:58:53I can recognize my own perfume formula.
00:58:56This isn't mine.
00:58:57And the data on my computer has been deleted.
00:59:00Dahlia's face changes.
00:59:02This just got serious.
00:59:06Rosalyn stands in the crowd,
00:59:08her face pale.
00:59:08Dahlia pulls up the surveillance footage.
00:59:11But the section after the perfumes were submitted
00:59:14is conveniently blank.
00:59:21I request to see Rosalyn's submission.
00:59:26Why this is my work?
00:59:28You have no right.
00:59:30You won't let me see it
00:59:31because you know you're guilty.
00:59:36Under pressure from the program committee,
00:59:39Rosalyn's perfume is brought out.
00:59:43I open the lid and smell it.
00:59:47This is mine.
00:59:48This bottle is my real work.
00:59:52You're lying!
00:59:54I worked hard on this!
00:59:56Then do you dare to compete with me again?
01:00:00Do it over,
01:00:01in front of everyone.
01:00:06Why...
01:00:07Why should I play along with your tantrum?
01:00:10You're scared
01:00:11because you know you're guilty!
01:00:16More and more people support a redo.
01:00:19Rosalyn's face gets worse.
01:00:23She knows she can't escape.
01:00:26The redo begins.
01:00:28The task is exactly the same as before.
01:00:36I know every step by heart.
01:00:38I've made this perfume hundreds of times.
01:00:43Her hands are shaking.
01:00:47She can't remember the percentages
01:00:50and measurements.
01:00:52Rosalyn,
01:00:53you can't remember, can't you?
01:00:57You didn't research the data yourself?
01:01:00Of course you can't recall it.
01:01:01Shut up!
01:01:02I have it all in my head!
01:01:1030 minutes later,
01:01:12I submit my perfume.
01:01:15Rosalyn's vial is almost empty.
01:01:17Time's up.
01:01:18The judges smell both perfumes.
01:01:26It takes less than a minute.
01:01:30They announce,
01:01:32The real first place belongs to me.
01:01:36Rosalyn,
01:01:37you stole Rachel's work
01:01:39and refused to admit it.
01:01:42From today,
01:01:43you are blacklisted from the industry.
01:01:46Rosalyn collapses onto the floor.
01:01:50No one around her feels any sympathy.
01:01:55The program is almost over.
01:01:57Everyone is packing up,
01:01:59getting ready to leave the base.
01:02:01I go to the cafeteria for a meal
01:02:03and run into Horace.
01:02:05He invites me for coffee.
01:02:07Rachel,
01:02:09congratulations getting first place.
01:02:11I knew you could do it.
01:02:15Your advice helped me figure out
01:02:17the functional aspect.
01:02:21We're chatting happily.
01:02:23I don't notice Rosalyn in the corner,
01:02:25holding up her camera
01:02:26and taking several photos.
01:02:32These photos should be enough.
01:02:34The angle makes it look like they're kissing.
01:02:36Send them to my brother.
01:02:38Let's see how Rachel explains this.
01:02:45After the meal,
01:02:46I return to my dorm.
01:02:48The lynx,
01:02:49Max is waiting for me at the door.
01:02:51It's time to release it back into the forest.
01:02:55Max,
01:02:56your wound is healed.
01:02:57It's time to go home.
01:02:59I'll miss you.
01:03:09The program officially ends.
01:03:13I graduate with the highest overall score.
01:03:19My mentor,
01:03:20Mr. Barnes,
01:03:21personally presents me with the certificate.
01:03:26Rachel,
01:03:27you're the best student I've ever taught.
01:03:30The right to cooperate on this project
01:03:33goes to you.
01:03:37I won't let you down.
01:03:39Kellen sits in his wheelchair,
01:03:41watching me from a distance.
01:03:44His leg isn't healed yet,
01:03:46but he still came to the closing ceremony.
01:03:54Miss Brown,
01:03:56congratulations.
01:03:59How's your leg?
01:04:03Almost there.
01:04:06The doctor says I'll be able to walk in two more weeks.
01:04:10Good.
01:04:12Mr. Mitchell,
01:04:13thank you for saving me.
01:04:15You're welcome.
01:04:17Don't forget,
01:04:17you still owe me a favor.
01:04:19He smiles.
01:04:21I smile too.
01:04:23A month of isolated living is over.
01:04:26It's time to go back and face Sander.
01:04:29Back in Mophia,
01:04:29I turn on my phone.
01:04:30The news headlines are full of bad news about Spencer Group.
01:04:41Rachel,
01:04:42the company is barely holding on.
01:04:44Mr. Spencer is angry every day.
01:04:47Millie doesn't even come to work anymore.
01:04:49They deserve it.
01:04:54Rachel,
01:04:55what did you do to Spencer Group?
01:04:56Why do all our partners refuse to negotiate?
01:04:59Unless you're there?
01:05:00I didn't do anything.
01:05:01I just told them I've left Spencer Group.
01:05:04Who they want to work with is their business.
01:05:06Can you come back?
01:05:07The company can't survive without you.
01:05:09Xander,
01:05:10you said it yourself.
01:05:11Without me,
01:05:12Spencer Group will still run.
01:05:13Now let's see how it runs.
01:05:18I hang up.
01:05:19When he calls again,
01:05:20I turn off my phone.
01:05:24Millie comes to find me.
01:05:27She's standing downstairs at my place,
01:05:30crying hysterically.
01:05:33Rachel,
01:05:34please help Xander.
01:05:35The company is really going under.
01:05:37Aren't you amazing?
01:05:39Don't you know a master perfumer?
01:05:41What happened?
01:05:42All of it stopped working?
01:05:45I lied to him.
01:05:47None of it was real.
01:05:49I don't know any master perfumer.
01:05:51What about your marriage certificate?
01:05:53Is that fake too?
01:05:55That one is real.
01:05:57But Xander,
01:05:59his heart only belongs to you.
01:06:01He was just using me.
01:06:03Using you?
01:06:04When you were sleeping together,
01:06:06was that just using too?
01:06:07She has nothing to say.
01:06:09I close the door,
01:06:11leaving her outside.
01:06:16Millie,
01:06:17you're crying now?
01:06:19It's too late.
01:06:25Kellen asks to meet.
01:06:27He's standing at the coffee house door
01:06:30with a cane,
01:06:31waiting for me.
01:06:35You can walk?
01:06:38Almost.
01:06:39Come in.
01:06:40I have something to tell you.
01:06:42Inside the private room,
01:06:43he poured a cup of coffee
01:06:45and pushed it toward me.
01:06:54His expression is very serious.
01:06:58I went to see my grandfather.
01:07:00He told me the truth.
01:07:02You are the Shaw family's long-lost daughter.
01:07:08And what of it?
01:07:11So that night by the river,
01:07:12when I said the Shaw daughter
01:07:13grew up in the countryside
01:07:14and knew nothing,
01:07:15I was talking about you.
01:07:18I know.
01:07:20I was right next to you.
01:07:21I heard every word.
01:07:22I didn't know it was you then.
01:07:23If I had known...
01:07:27If you had known it was me,
01:07:28you wouldn't have said it?
01:07:31So,
01:07:31you still think that way?
01:07:33You just don't dare
01:07:34say it to my face?
01:07:36He freezes.
01:07:37I pick up my bag,
01:07:39ready to leave.
01:07:41Rachel,
01:07:42wait.
01:07:44I know what I said was terrible.
01:07:45I apologize.
01:07:47What good is an apology?
01:07:50You look down on me.
01:07:52You look down on where I come from.
01:07:54No.
01:07:56I look down on my own prejudice.
01:07:58I had never met the Shaw daughter,
01:08:00yet I labeled her before knowing her.
01:08:02That's my fault.
01:08:04You also said that country people
01:08:06never change their habits.
01:08:08Do you think I can change?
01:08:09You don't need to change.
01:08:11I'm the one who need to change.
01:08:13Rachel,
01:08:14I like you.
01:08:15Not because of whose daughter you are.
01:08:17Just because of you.
01:08:19He looks into my eyes.
01:08:21There's no joke in them.
01:08:23I almost believe him.
01:08:24Kellen,
01:08:25we're just business partners.
01:08:26From now on,
01:08:27don't see me outside of work.
01:08:33I turn and leave.
01:08:34He doesn't follow.
01:08:36But I know he's still watching me.
01:08:47Ray,
01:08:48is the program over?
01:08:49How were your results?
01:08:51First place.
01:08:53And I got the right to cooperate.
01:08:55That's my sister.
01:08:56Oh,
01:08:56by the way,
01:08:57that childhood betrothal I mentioned,
01:08:58the other family called off the engagement.
01:09:00I know.
01:09:01It's Kellen Mitchell,
01:09:02isn't it?
01:09:02How do you know?
01:09:03I've met him.
01:09:05And he was in the program.
01:09:07What a coincidence.
01:09:08What do you think of him?
01:09:10Not good.
01:09:11He's arrogant and looks down on people.
01:09:14Then it's good that the engagement is off.
01:09:16I'll find you someone better.
01:09:18Don't bother.
01:09:19For the foreseeable future,
01:09:21I don't want to deal with relationships.
01:09:23My brother smiles and shakes his head.
01:09:28He doesn't know that Kellen just apologized to me.
01:09:31But I don't plan to forgive Kellen.
01:09:34But when my brother said,
01:09:35called off the engagement,
01:09:37I felt a tiny something in my heart.
01:09:39Something I can't quite name.
01:09:42Millie invited me to her birthday banquet.
01:09:46I know she wants to humiliate me in public.
01:09:51I wear a backless mermaid gown
01:09:53with crystals on the hem.
01:09:56The moment I walk in,
01:09:57every eye in the room turns to me.
01:10:01Who is she?
01:10:03She's stunning.
01:10:04That gown is breathtaking.
01:10:12Rachel, you came.
01:10:14I thought you wouldn't dare show up.
01:10:16How could I miss your birthday banquet?
01:10:19I even brought a gift.
01:10:22A gift?
01:10:25What gift?
01:10:27You'll find out soon enough.
01:10:29Xander stands next to Millie,
01:10:32wearing a suit in the same color as hers.
01:10:37They look like a bride and groom.
01:10:41Xander,
01:10:43you and Miss Clark
01:10:45match so well.
01:10:48Anyone would think this is your wedding.
01:10:51Rachel,
01:10:51don't talk nonsense.
01:10:54Exactly.
01:10:55We're just friends.
01:11:01Rachel,
01:11:02don't overthink it.
01:11:04I smile.
01:11:06Friends?
01:11:08What close friends you are.
01:11:11Halfway through the banquet,
01:11:12Millie walks to the stage with a glass in her hand.
01:11:19She's about to give a speech.
01:11:21Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet.
01:11:28Today,
01:11:29I also have an announcement.
01:11:32She looks at me,
01:11:33a cold smile on her lips.
01:11:35Rachel,
01:11:37you've been seducing my best friend Xander
01:11:39and trying to get close to the Shaw family's eldest son.
01:11:43I have photos here that prove your true colors.
01:11:46Everyone looks at me.
01:11:51Some people start whispering.
01:11:57Millie,
01:11:58you say I'm seducing Xander?
01:12:01Then how about showing everyone the video of you and him in the hotel room?
01:12:06What are you talking about?
01:12:08What video?
01:12:11I take out my phone and connect it to the banquet hall's large screen.
01:12:15The video starts playing.
01:12:18On the screen,
01:12:20Millie and Xander are tangled in bed.
01:12:24Moans and gasps echo through the entire hall.
01:12:30This is what you call just friends?
01:12:33Millie's face is pale.
01:12:35Xander stands frozen.
01:12:40The whole room erupts.
01:12:43Shock and contempt are written on every face.
01:12:46The video ends.
01:12:49The banquet hall is terrifyingly quiet.
01:12:55Millie covers her face,
01:12:57speechless.
01:12:59So she's the homewrecker.
01:13:03And she tried to blame someone else for seducing a man?
01:13:10Shameless.
01:13:11Xander is no better.
01:13:14Cheating on his wife,
01:13:16lying about the marriage.
01:13:23Rachel, let's go home and talk.
01:13:26There are too many people here.
01:13:30Go home?
01:13:35Where is my home?
01:13:37Yours and Millie's home?
01:13:42I turn and leave.
01:13:45Behind me are their humiliation and the pointing fingers of the crowd.
01:13:50I don't look back.
01:13:52The next day,
01:13:54the video goes viral online.
01:13:56Spencer Group's stock price keeps falling.
01:13:59Xander's company is finished.
01:14:02Spencer Group's stock price plummeted 60% today.
01:14:06Multiple executives have resigned.
01:14:08The group is facing bankruptcy.
01:14:12I turn off the TV.
01:14:16Xander, this is his fate.
01:14:18I call my lawyer, Mooney.
01:14:19It's time.
01:14:21Mr. Stevens,
01:14:22are the litigation materials ready?
01:14:24I want to sue Xander for marriage fraud and bigamy.
01:14:26They're ready.
01:14:27The evidence is solid.
01:14:29He can't escape.
01:14:31Then file them.
01:14:34After hanging up,
01:14:36I call my brother.
01:14:38Ride.
01:14:39That land contract,
01:14:40I'm taking it back.
01:14:42Xander can't have it.
01:14:43That land is worth 10 billion now.
01:14:46Are you sure?
01:14:47I'm sure.
01:14:49He doesn't deserve it.
01:14:51Alright.
01:14:52I'll have someone handle it.
01:14:54Xander's last lifeline.
01:14:56I've pulled it away.
01:15:11He calls me countless times.
01:15:14I don't answer any of them.
01:15:20Xander finds my villa.
01:15:22He kneels at the door,
01:15:23crying uncontrollably.
01:15:25Rachel, I was wrong.
01:15:26I'm so sorry.
01:15:28Please give me another chance.
01:15:30What were you wrong about?
01:15:32I shouldn't have been with Millie.
01:15:34I shouldn't have lied to you.
01:15:35You're the one I love.
01:15:38You love me?
01:15:39You love my perfume formulas.
01:15:42Without me,
01:15:44Spencer Group is nothing.
01:15:45That's not true.
01:15:46I really love you.
01:15:47We've been together for five years.
01:15:49How can you be so heartless?
01:15:50Five years?
01:15:52You lied to me for five years.
01:15:54Your marriage certificate has Millie's name on it.
01:15:57We were never husband and wife.
01:15:59He's speechless.
01:16:03I close the door.
01:16:11Rachel, please.
01:16:19He kneels outside all night.
01:16:24I don't look at him again.
01:16:37Millie is kicked out of the Clark family, too.
01:16:40She asks me to meet her at a cafe,
01:16:42begging me to spare Xander.
01:16:47Rachel, everything is my fault.
01:16:50I shouldn't have seduced Xander.
01:16:53Please spare him.
01:16:55You know you're wrong now.
01:16:57When you were rolling in bed together,
01:16:59didn't you think about the consequences?
01:17:00I, I really love him.
01:17:04Please.
01:17:06Love him?
01:17:07You love his money.
01:17:09You two are perfect for each other.
01:17:12One a con artist, the other a cheat.
01:17:15Millie walks away crying.
01:17:17I watch her go without a shred of sympathy.
01:17:23A week later, the court reached a verdict.
01:17:26Xander received a suspended sentence and a fine for bigamy.
01:17:29Millie, as an accomplice, was also sentenced to probation.
01:17:33I stand at the courthouse entrance,
01:17:35watching them being loaded into police vans.
01:17:38Xander looks back at me.
01:17:40His eyes are full of regret.
01:17:42But it's too late.
01:17:45After everything ends,
01:17:47I lock myself at home for days.
01:17:52Bexley comes to see me.
01:18:03Rachel, what's wrong?
01:18:05Everything is resolved.
01:18:06You should be happy.
01:18:07I don't know.
01:18:08I thought I'd be happy after getting revenge.
01:18:12But now, I just feel empty.
01:18:19That's because you still have feelings for him.
01:18:22Let it go.
01:18:23He's not worth it.
01:18:26I'm not hung up on him.
01:18:27I just...
01:18:30suddenly don't know what to do next.
01:18:36Start your own company.
01:18:37Your perfumes are amazing.
01:18:39Why not do it yourself?
01:18:46Yes, why can't I do it myself?
01:18:49You're right.
01:18:50I'm going to start my own company.
01:18:55That's the Rachel I know.
01:18:59I smile.
01:19:00It's the first genuine smile in days.
01:19:04While I'm preparing the company,
01:19:06Kellen comes to see me.
01:19:08He's standing at the door,
01:19:10holding a bouquet of flowers.
01:19:15Mr. Mitchell,
01:19:16what are you doing here?
01:19:18I heard you're starting a company.
01:19:19I came to congratulate you.
01:19:22I'll take the flowers.
01:19:24You can leave now.
01:19:26Rachel,
01:19:27are you still angry with me?
01:19:29No.
01:19:30I just don't think we need to be too close.
01:19:33He puts the flowers on the table,
01:19:38then takes a small box out of his pocket.
01:19:41Open it.
01:19:45I open the box.
01:19:47Inside is a ring.
01:19:50I freeze.
01:19:52Rachel,
01:19:55marry me.
01:19:58Are you crazy?
01:19:59We've only known each other for a short time.
01:20:04I've known you
01:20:05for five years.
01:20:08From the first time you presented your perfume
01:20:10in front of Mr. Barnes,
01:20:12I noticed you.
01:20:14He looks at me,
01:20:15his eyes full of sincerity.
01:20:18My heart is racing.
01:20:20Five years ago?
01:20:23I hadn't even graduated yet.
01:20:31How could you have known me?
01:20:34You participated in a perfume competition.
01:20:43I was in the audience.
01:20:45I've never forgotten the scent.
01:20:48I remember.
01:20:49I won first place in that competition.
01:20:52But I never saw him.
01:20:55Later,
01:20:56I asked my grandfather to contact you.
01:20:58I wanted you to come to Crescent Group.
01:21:00You refused.
01:21:02You said you were getting married.
01:21:05So,
01:21:06you've been waiting for me all this time?
01:21:09Not waiting.
01:21:11Believing
01:21:12that you would wake up.
01:21:16You deserve someone better.
01:21:18His voice is calm
01:21:20as he says these words.
01:21:22But my eyes are tearing up.
01:21:28Kellen,
01:21:29what you said before,
01:21:29it really hurt.
01:21:33I know.
01:21:38So I'll give you the rest of my life
01:21:40to make up for it.
01:21:42Is that enough?
01:21:43He slips the ring onto my finger.
01:21:45I don't pull my hand away.
01:21:48At the Shaw family's homecoming banquet,
01:21:50my brother officially announces my identity.
01:21:53The whole room is stunned.
01:21:57This is my younger sister,
01:21:59Rachel Shaw,
01:22:00a daughter of the Shaw family.
01:22:02I stand on the stage in diamond-staddled gown.
01:22:05Everyone is looking at me.
01:22:10In the corner,
01:22:12Millie stands with disheveled hair.
01:22:16After being kicked out of the Clark family,
01:22:19no one would take her in.
01:22:22I heard that when Xander learned I was a Shaw daughter,
01:22:26he cried all night.
01:22:30Kellen walks over and takes my hand.
01:22:36He's wearing the jacket I made for him.
01:22:38It fits perfectly.
01:22:45Miss Shaw,
01:22:46would you like to dance with me?
01:22:53I smile.
01:22:55This time,
01:22:56I don't push him away.
01:22:57I lost five years of my youth for a liar's love.
01:23:02But I found myself,
01:23:03I found my family,
01:23:04and I found someone who was willing to wait for me
01:23:08for five years.
01:23:19I guess this is the best ending.
