Short filmTranscript
00:00My husband's widowed sister-in-law, Florence Wyatt, and I gave birth to sons on the very same day.
00:10Whichever child learns to walk first inherits the family legacy.
00:13In my previous life, my son walked at 10 months. Florence's boy still couldn't stand at 2.
00:21Marissa immediately announced my son as the heir.
00:24And Florence drowned herself in her child, Stephen Channing in the river.
00:28At the funeral, my husband, Jeremy Channing, threw our son straight into the dog kennel.
00:34And I was forced to kneel in front of Florence's grave for a day.
00:40If you hadn't secret-laced his milk with growth hormones, how could he possibly have walked so early?
00:46Did you really think I wouldn't find out?
00:49Attacking the dead seer.
00:53I promised my brother to look after his wife, but you drove her to death!
00:57He threw Adrian's body to the dog, locked me away, made me get pregnant again and again.
01:03And then killed my children in front of me.
01:07In this life, I secretly changed to children's milk.
01:11I won't myself be dragged into your filthy games any longer.
01:16Madam Channing, Mr. Stephen can already walk while holding into the wall!
01:20The Channing family had prepared a dedicated child care team.
01:23And at this moment, the people on Florence's side were eagerly announcing the news.
01:28But across from them, the people on my side looked defeated, their faces filled with envy and frustration.
01:34Someone kept muttering.
01:35Wait, that slow kid walked first?
01:37No way!
01:38One of the nannies covered her mouth, glancing around nervously.
01:46He was trained by Mr. Channing himself.
01:48Didn't you notice Mr. Channing spending two hours each night in Miss and Miss Wyatt's room?
01:53Mr. Channing hasn't shown such care to anyone else besides Mr. Stephen.
01:58If he doesn't learn first, then who will?
02:00But isn't Miss Wyatt his sister-in-law?
02:03Mr. Channing is married to Mrs. Huxley.
02:06An older nanny shot her a look as if to say,
02:08Don't ask what you shouldn't.
02:10Madam Ginger has favored Miss Huxley, and hopes Mr. Adrian becomes the next in line.
02:16What's the use?
02:17Mr. Channing doesn't even pay attention to her.
02:20The child was born just to fulfill an obligation.
02:23And after that, he didn't care about him at all.
02:28After hearing the news, Jeremy lifted Stephen into the air,
02:32spinning him around with joy before wrapping Florence in a hug.
02:36Mom, Stephen was the one who walked first.
02:39He's going to be the future heir of our family.
02:42You can't go back on your word.
02:44I'll throw him the biggest heir naming ceremony and make a public statement about it.
02:49Florence looked at her son with a mix of delight and pride and shyly leaned against Jeremy.
02:53Jeremy, you've always taken such good care of us.
02:56I don't know what we'd do without you.
02:59Jeremy's gaze was full of warmth like he only saw her and Stephen as if the rest of the world
03:03didn't matter.
03:04Everyone turned to look at me with mixed expressions.
03:07Some sneered.
03:08Others looked at me with pity.
03:09Someone whispered behind my back.
03:12She's the legal wife, but she's worse off than a pet in this house.
03:17It was Marissa who had set her sights on me from the start, and she secretly drugged Jeremy on our
03:22wedding night.
03:33That's how I ended up pregnant with Adrian.
03:36Because of this, Jeremy despised me.
03:40He blamed it all on me, told everyone the story, and made me a laughingstock in the entire social circle.
03:49Even Marissa looked shocked now, a little guilt showing in her eyes.
03:56That can't be true.
03:58You must be mistaken.
04:00Marissa narrowed her eyes with disbelief.
04:02I get why she acted like that.
04:04She used to be my mother's best friend.
04:06After my mother died in a car accident, Marissa brought me into the Channing family and raised me.
04:14Even though Adrian had remarkable talent, Jeremy still pinned his hopes on Florence's child.
04:24I don't forget the anger in his eyes when he threw the milk meant for Adrian right in my face.
04:29Irene Huxley, you even put drugs in Adrian's drink just to make him walk first!
04:35How could you be so cruel?
04:37Since you love using drugs so much, then let me return the favor.
04:45Whether it was on the wedding night or when the milk incident happened,
04:48Jeremy always assumed I was the one behind it.
04:53He wouldn't listen to anything I said, no matter how many times I tried to explain.
05:00To get back at me, he gave Adrian an entire box of sleeping pills.
05:04I tried desperately to stop him, but he just walked away.
05:08His voice was ice cold.
05:10Stop pretending.
05:12This is all your fault.
05:13The room stayed quiet.
05:15Marissa suddenly looked at Steven, who was being held by Florence.
05:19Didn't you say he could walk?
05:20Then prove it.
05:21Walk for me now.
05:22If it happens again, everyone will see that her son still can't walk properly.
05:27I instinctively looked at Adrian.
05:30This time...
05:37Unexpectedly before I said anything, Florence's eyes filled with tears.
05:41Irene, I know you want Adrian to inherit our family's fortune and Marissa wants to help you,
05:45but my son is trying hard too.
05:47Please don't make Marissa reject him.
05:48Steven wants to be accepted as well.
05:50With just that one sentence, I was suddenly seen as a villain who would harm orphans and widows.
05:55Florence was about to bow her head to me, but Jeremy quickly stopped her.
05:58You did nothing wrong.
06:00Steven is smart.
06:02And you taught her well.
06:04And Cleve, near wide-rabbing source taking to her, is she even worth it?
06:09Irene, how many times do I have to remind you that I promised my brother I'd take good care of
06:14Florence?
06:15I only let you join the Channing family for my mom's sake.
06:17Can you please show some respect and stop always trying to push them down?
06:21He then looked at Marissa again.
06:25Mom, the child hearstaff said said Steven can walk now.
06:28I know all the sneaky things she's done before.
06:33How can someone like her teach a child properly?
06:40I've decided to hold the air ceremony in three days.
06:43No one is allowed to interfere before then.
06:45Marissa angrily stomped her foot.
06:47Irene isn't the person you say she is.
06:49Everything before, it was mine.
06:51I quickly cut her off and gave Florence a gentle smile.
06:57Florence, don't joke around.
06:59You and Steve are the one Jemmy cares about most.
07:02I would never make things hard for you.
07:05I hope Steven grows up healthy and has a bright future.
07:08When I was younger, I always called Jeremy Jemmy, something silly like kids do.
07:12But after I realized how I felt about him, I stopped using it.
07:15Back then, I thought that if I didn't call him Jemmy anymore, maybe I could become his wife.
07:22Now I see how silly and naive that idea was.
07:28Maybe it had been a long time since he heard me say that.
07:31A quick look of surprise flashed in Jeremy's eyes before he went back to looking indifferent.
07:34Good.
07:35At least you have some self-awareness.
07:37From now on, be kinder to Florence and Steven.
07:39He took Florence and Steven away, while my child care team quietly left, their spirits heavy.
07:45Marissa's face was full of anger.
07:47How could that Vix's son learn to walk before Adrian?
07:54Irene, don't worry.
07:56I'll find out the truth.
07:57I will make Jeremy apologize to you and Adrian.
08:01Only then did I realize her private doctor had secretly told her that Steven was born with developmental deficiencies and
08:08would have trouble learning to walk quickly.
08:11Jeremy knew this too, but he didn't believe it at all.
08:14He even acted like I was the one spreading rumors and trying to ruin their family.
08:21Seeing Marissa defend me made me feel warm inside, so I stepped forward and took her hand.
08:28Marissa, maybe marrying him was a mistake.
08:34Don't you see?
08:36Jeremy only cares about Florence.
08:42It doesn't matter who walks first, Steven or Adrian.
08:46Forcing things now turns out sweet.
08:48My voice steadier than I expected.
08:54After all these years, I'm just tired.
08:56Now, I only want to protect Adrian, so he can grow a safe lump.
09:01I understand.
09:05Someone has been waiting for me for a long time.
09:11In three days, I'm leaving with him.
09:13Marissa, please let me go.
09:16I was not shocked at all by Jeremy's feelings toward Florence.
09:22Back then, Marissa wanted to set me up with Jeremy.
09:25So Florence turned down his proposal and ended up marrying his older brother instead.
09:30Jeremy was heartbroken for three days straight, with red eyes when he came to see me.
09:36Irene, you be to like me?
09:39Now I'll give you venny for you two different.
09:42He married me, and I thought he was finally ready to forget the past and accept me.
09:50Later, I learned that Jeremy was just blaming me for everything and wanted to get back at me because of
09:55Florence.
09:55He brought many women home, and each one looked a little like Florence.
10:02He even made me teach these women myself.
10:08Irene, you're quite capable, right?
10:11Why was that new girl so nervous last night?
10:13How will you train her?
10:14He showed off his group of women everywhere like a playboy, but I knew he was only doing it to
10:19make Florence jealous.
10:21Jeremy never touched any of them including me.
10:26When his brother had an accident, Florence came back to Channing's residence crying.
10:36Jeremy acted cold and told her to beg him to take her in.
10:39Florence couldn't bear it and broke down in tears.
10:42In that single moment, his cold act shattered completely.
10:45He held her close and kissed her.
10:47In our room, unspeakable sounds echoed throughout the night.
10:56That was what he called keeping his promise to his brother to take care of his sister-in-law.
11:02Every time I hear him say that, I just can't help but laugh.
11:09Marissa stayed quiet for a moment before letting out a sigh.
11:17Forget it.
11:18It seems our families are simply not meant to be.
11:22Since you've made your decision, I won't hold you back.
11:25When our families arranged this marriage, your mom designed an amulet and left it at the North Point Jewelry.
11:30I planned to give it to you during Adrian's air naming ceremony, but now that doesn't seem necessary.
11:36Irene, wherever life takes you, I hope you find happiness.
11:39I nodded, feeling thankful.
11:42In this life, my only wish was to protect Adrian.
11:45The next morning, I went with Adrian to the jewelry store to get the amulet.
11:49Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived there, I saw Jeremy with Florence and Stephen.
11:56The staff held up a beautiful brocade box.
11:59Madame Chanding told me this amulet is for Mrs. Huxley only, and it cannot be given to anyone else.
12:04Florence wore a simple dress.
12:06When she spotted me, her eyes quickly filled with tears.
12:10Irene, I don't want to take your things, but Stephen has been having bad dreams lately.
12:16I heard this amulet can keep away evil.
12:19Jeremy's voice cut in coldly.
12:21Give the amulet to Stephen.
12:23Your son doesn't need it.
12:25I had already decided to leave, but couldn't help asking.
12:30This was a keepsake my mom left for Adrian.
12:33Why should I give it up?
12:34If you don't love Adrian, someone else will love her in your place.
12:37Jeremy's expression suddenly became icy.
12:41Irene, why are you acting so high and mighty?
12:44Who would want to be with you if you had drugged me and slept with me?
12:47This amulet is kept in my family's jewelry store, so it should definitely go to the next Chanlin family heir.
12:53I didn't want to argue and reached for the brocade box, but to my surprise, Stephen grabbed it first.
13:01Perhaps enchanted by the beautiful box, Stephen clutched it tightly, babbling happily as he played.
13:09Seeing this, Adrian laughed and tried to take it too.
13:13But the moment he touched Stephen, the other boy started crying loudly.
13:32I was shocked.
13:36I saw it clearly a moment ago.
13:38She squeezed Stephen's arm really hard.
13:40Such a small child had a big red mark on his arm and was crying loudly from the pain eye.
13:44I couldn't stop remembering the previous life when Florence strangled Stephen to death.
13:49Smack!
13:50Jeremy suddenly came over and slapped me without a word of warning.
13:54Irene?
13:55How dare you?
13:58He grabbed Adrian away, and Adrian started crying out of tears.
14:03But Jeremy didn't care.
14:04He roughly threw Adrian to the floor, and he told Stephen to fight back.
14:11I shuddered and tried to jump in, but was held down by a bodyguard.
14:17While I struggled, Florence suddenly grabbed Jeremy.
14:21Don't do that, you'll frighten the kids.
14:23Her tone was soft but carried a warning.
14:27Irene, shall we go to the lounge and talk?
14:32Once inside the lounge, Florence's face changed.
14:36Did Marissa tell you everything about Stephen's developmental deficiencies?
14:40Don't think I'm unaware.
14:42Adrian can already walk.
14:44Do you think that after all this, Jeremy will accept you?
14:48Sadly, only Stephen and I hold a place in his heart.
14:51I frowned deeply.
14:53I've made up-minded to leave.
14:54What more do you want?
14:56Florence glanced at Stephen, then at Adrian in my part-of's, and smirked.
15:00You can leave, but first, you have to do me a favor.
15:05Without warning, she grabbed a nearby decoration and smashed it hard against Stephen's leg.
15:10Then she collapsed to the floor screaming.
15:12I instinctively looked at Stephen and saw he had passed out from the pain.
15:16At the next moment, the lounge door was forcefully kicked open as Jeremy stormed in.
15:24Irene, what are you doing?
15:28Jeremy, please help Stephen.
15:30If something bad happens to him, I don't want to live anymore.
15:35So this was what Florence meant by do a favor.
15:38She was afraid that someone would discover Stephen's developmental deficiencies,
15:42so she set me up instead.
15:44Jeremy's eyes burned with rage as he stared at Stephen's twisted leg.
15:48Well, very well.
15:51He told the bodyguards to get a cage meant for wild dogs and stared at me coldly.
15:56You're going to suffer twice as much as Stephen did.
16:00Horrible flashbacks from my past life came rushing back.
16:03I grabbed Adrian tightly and stumbled back until my back slammed against the wall.
16:07But Jeremy yanked Adrian's arm and dragged him toward the cage.
16:10Adrian's heartbreaking screams echoed through the room.
16:13I fought as hard as I could, digging my nails into the bodyguard's skin until they bled.
16:21Jeremy!
16:22It wasn't me!
16:23Let Adrian go!
16:24I screamed.
16:25Tears filled my eyes so thick I could barely see.
16:30Jeremy absolutely knew that I was terrified of dogs.
16:32Florence cradled the passed-out Stephen, acting like she was turning away, but the faint smile on her lips stabbed
16:39right into my heart.
16:40The wild dog's smelling blood grew more aggressive, scratching the bars with sharp claws that shrieked across the metal.
16:55I looked at Adrian's pale little face, drained of color from fear, and felt as if a knife were slicing
17:01through my heart.
17:03No, I won't let this happen!
17:09Suddenly like a madwoman I broke free and hurled myself at Jeremy, slamming into him with enough force to send
17:14him staggering backward.
17:19Before the bodyguard could stop me, I grabbed Adrian and turned my back to the cage, holding him close.
17:26I've got you, Adrian.
17:28Mommy's got you.
17:30The wild dog sank its teeth deep into my shoulder.
17:33The pain was so sharp it nearly knocked me out, but I clenched my jaw and stayed quiet.
17:37Adrian sobbed in my arms, his face buried against my chest.
17:40His tears mixed with the blood soaking through my clothes.
17:47Mr. Chandon, if this keeps going, both Mrs. Chandon and Mr. Adrian could die.
17:53The bodyguard was clearly unsure.
17:54Jeremy paused for a moment, but before he could decide, Florence burst out.
17:58Irene already got her rabies shots.
18:00She's just being dramatic about the pain.
18:03Poor Steven.
18:05She hit him so hard.
18:07What if he can't walk or play normally anymore?
18:10Sob, sob.
18:10After hearing her words, Jeremy's hesitation vanished.
18:14He grabbed a metal rod nearby and hit my back.
18:21When you hurt Steven so cruelly earlier, did you ever think about the consequences?
18:27He was just a child.
18:28How could you be so heartless?
18:30He struck me again and again.
18:32Each blow made it feel like my ribs were snapping, and blood trickled out from my lips.
18:35But I never stopped shielding Adrian.
18:38Florence, pretending to care, kept her voice soft.
18:42Jeremy.
18:42Don't kill her.
18:44You still need her alive to make things right with Steven.
18:47Only then did Jeremy stop.
18:49He gave me one final brutal kick that knocked me down.
18:56Jeremy's voice was cold.
19:00On the day of the air naming ceremony, the amulet will go to Steven.
19:04Consider it a form of compensation.
19:06And when that happens, you and Adrian will apologize in front of everyone.
19:14If not, I'll never forgive you.
19:16I lay curled on the ground, cradling Adrian tightly.
19:19As they walked away, I stared at their backs.
19:22My hands were clenched so hard that my nails pierced my skin.
19:25I won't forget what you've done.
19:26The store assistant helped me get to the hospital.
19:29After emergency treatment, I managed to pull through, and Adrian only got a few scrapes.
19:36Compared to what happened in the previous life, this outcome was much better when I was finally allowed to leave
19:42the hospital.
19:43A black van pulled up, and a man inside reached out his hand to me.
19:49Have you decided to come with me?
19:51My lips curved into a small smile as I saw him holding Adrian gently and making him laugh.
19:57I stepped into his car, boarded a plane going overseas, and left my hometown behind.
20:12Jeremy was busy getting things ready for Steven's air-naming ceremony.
20:16But his mind drifted whenever he passed by the now-empty bedroom Adrian and I had been gone for three
20:21whole days.
20:23He had thought I was being dramatic again, just like I used to when I was little, running off whenever
20:28things didn't go my way, but this time was different.
20:31The night before the ceremony, he came across Steven's medical records, when he read the words born with developmental delays,
20:37the words hit him hard.
20:41The memory of me lying in blood haunted him.
20:43He quickly texted me.
20:48Irene, I know I went overboard that day, but you were in the wrong, and I had no choice but
20:53to punish you.
20:54Adrian's my tribe too.
20:55Roger wanted to scare him, not actually put him in the dog cage.
21:06He paced and waited a long time for a response from me.
21:09I didn't show up, not even on the day of the ceremony.
21:12Marissa finally arrived, and Jeremy quickly stepped toward her.
21:16Mom, where's Irene?
21:17Why is she still acting so stubborn?
21:19Didn't she said she would admit she was wrong?
21:21Is, she said she would admit when she goats down?
21:23But maybe Sev up late, Henley?
21:25Before he could finish, she cut him off and tossed a paper right at him.
21:29Irene has left the country and is getting married.
21:35Here's the divorce paper.
21:36Well, happy now?
21:40Jeremy was speechless for a few seconds before letting out a sarcastic laugh.
21:48Mom, seriously?
21:49You're not young anymore.
21:51Why are you still joking around like this?
21:53Everyone knows that Irene's reputation has been ruined.
21:56Who else would take her in besides me?
21:58He crossed his arms, still wearing that smug smile.
22:01I'm sure she's just mad because Florence took her amulet,
22:04so she made up this fake wedding story and stormed off, right?
22:07Fine, once the ceremony is over, I'll go find her and make it up to her.
22:11That'll fix things, right?
22:15Before he could say anything more,
22:17Marissa slapped him hard across the face and pointed furiously at the documents.
22:20Do you think this is some kind of joke?
22:22Use your eyes and read what's in front with you.
22:25You scared her child and almost got Irene killed.
22:28She's terrified of dogs, and you still use a wild dog, G, to scare her.
22:33Even if you didn't love her, how could you do something so cruel?
22:37Jeremy picked up the papers and began to read.
22:39As he understood what they said, he stood completely still in shock.
22:44It wasn't just a divorce form.
22:47There was also my medical emergency notice and Stephen's medical examination report.
22:53Florence came over with Stephen in her arms, holding the amulet, and wrapped her hand around Jeremy's arm.
22:59Jeremy?
23:00Can this really be true?
23:02How could this...
23:03When Florence glanced at the paper in his hand, a cold look appeared in her eyes.
23:08And she quickly covered her mouth, looking shocked.
23:13Oh my, Irene even faked the medical report!
23:17Jeremy, this isn't your fault.
23:19Who would have thought the private doctor was paid off too?
23:22She lies so much.
23:24No one can tell when she's telling the truth or...
23:27Just making things up.
23:29Then Marissa reminded him of something he had forgotten.
23:31When I was very young, he took me out to play.
23:34And I was terrified when I saw a dog that day.
23:36I ended up in the emergency room.
23:41Marissa told him I'm scared of dogs, so he promised to take good care of me.
23:45He stayed by my side all night.
23:47Crying, the next day when I woke up, he looked at my puffy eyes and made a promise.
23:54Irene, I will always protect you and never let you get hurt again.
23:59But how could he forget that?
24:05Remembering the blood all over the lounge floor shook Jeremy deeply.
24:08His face went pale, like he was about to lose something very important.
24:18Jeremy, Stephen's air naming ceremony is about to start.
24:21Hurry up and go inside.
24:26Surprisingly, Jeremy pushed Florence aside and hurried over to Marissa, looking worried.
24:31Mom, how is Irene?
24:33Is she alright?
24:33Which hospital is she at?
24:35I want to visit her right now!
24:37Marissa stared at him coldly.
24:40You're only worried now?
24:41It's too late.
24:43I already told you, Irene doesn't want to see you anymore.
24:46She went overseas to get married.
24:48The wedding just finished.
24:52From now on, she has nothing to do with you.
24:56That can't be true!
24:58I don't believe it!
25:01She loves me so much!
25:03How could she marry someone else?
25:06I won't accept this!
25:08Jeremy's loud shout filled the whole room.
25:10Catching the attention of the guests who all listened closely to the drama, Florence's face turned pale and she looked
25:14upset.
25:18Jeremy, what do you mean?
25:20Why does it matter to you if Irene gets married or not?
25:25Jeremy paid no attention to Florence and stared intently at Marissa, to make him give up hope.
25:30Marissa asked the housekeeper to show him a video, a live recording from my wedding.
25:36Marissa had watched me grow up.
25:38Because of Jeremy's situation, she couldn't attend my wedding and felt very guilty, to make up for it a little.
25:44I gave her a copy of the wedding video.
25:46Jeremy watched the screen.
25:48Irene in a white dress, walking toward another man.
25:51His hands slowly clenched into fists.
25:55Honestly, it wasn't Irene who drugged you, it was me.
25:59Jeremy's eyes went wide.
26:01I wanted to bring you two closer, but you took your anger out, out on Irene for years.
26:12She loved you so much and was respectful to me.
26:16She never complained when she was treated unfairly, but you hurt her deeply.
26:25Marissa's voice cracked, tears spilling down her cheeks.
26:27She quietly switched Adrian and Stephen's new night, hoping to leave with Adrian.
26:36I didn't expect that you almost killed Adrian, and Irene nearly lost her life.
26:43I told you Stephen was born with developmental differences and wouldn't be able to walk, but you didn't believe me!
26:53If I had known you were so cruel, I wouldn't have done such a foolish thing!
26:59You've wronged Irene.
27:01I've failed her, and even more sorry for her mother's trust!
27:06Jeremy stood frozen, unable to speak.
27:12Watching me in a wedding gown, with another man putting a ring on my finger and kissing me.
27:17Jeremy's hands trembled so hard he nearly dropped the phone.
27:20His face went white as a sheet.
27:22He looked like he was about to collapse.
27:25It wasn't that Jeremy didn't like me, but maybe because we grew up together.
27:29He always thought it was just a childhood friendship.
27:31He took Florence as his true love, after Florence left him.
27:35His bitterness grew so strong that he took it out on me.
27:39After wrongly thinking I drugged him.
27:41His hatred only deepened and convinced him that I would do anything to get what I wanted.
27:45But if he hated me so much, why did he seem so shaken?
27:52Why did hearing me call him Jemmy again bother him so much?
27:55Why did seeing me marry someone else make him look like he wanted to kill someone?
27:59Did he really love Florence?
28:01Jeremy finally started believing what she had told him.
28:04He then looked at Florence.
28:07Was it really Irene who hurt Steven that day?
28:10Florence's eyes showed fear for a moment.
28:12Then she snapped angrily.
28:14Jeremy, are you doubting me now?
28:17She has always liked Irene and hated me.
28:20To get you two together, she'd throw all the blame on me.
28:22She even hired a private doctor.
28:24They worked together to frame me.
28:27You were my first man.
28:28I kept myself only for you and always cared about you.
28:33But now you think I'm lying?
28:35You believe the permanent harm child, our child, but you don't trust me.
28:39If that's how it is, there's no point having to ceremony.
28:46Florence was taking a risk, hoping Jeremy would soften and that Marisa had no proof.
28:51Sure enough, Jeremy's face relaxed a little, but before he could say anything, a harsh voice cut in with a
28:57sneer.
29:03What a clever trick.
29:04Pretending give up to move forward.
29:08Fine.
29:09If you don't want to proceed.
29:11Then take the amulet off Steven's neck.
29:14Jeremy's sister, Tiffany Channing, who had been living overseas, suddenly showed up with several female bodyguards.
29:20She gave a quick signal to the bodyguards, and some of them quickly moved toward Florence.
29:25Trying to take the amulet off Steven's neck.
29:28What do you think you're doing?
29:29Let me go!
29:30Jeremy, please protect Steven.
29:33He just got hurt.
29:34How can you let others treat us like this?
29:37Tiffany raised a file folder and smiled cruelly.
29:42You're a reckless woman who's had over ten abortions, and yet you still managed to fool my two younger brothers.
29:50What's this?
29:51Got pregnant playing her outside and now afraid no one will marry you's?
29:55So, you plan to trap my brother with this moral blackmail, approaching him into making you his wife?
30:01Raider waned.
30:03Dream on.
30:07Tiffany gave a bunch of photos to Jeremy.
30:09Every time he saw one, his expression grew darker.
30:12She thought no one would find out because mom was back home, but she forgot.
30:18I've been living overseas for years, and I have friends who collect information for a living.
30:25Mom called me the day she grew suspicious.
30:28I spent a lot of money to buy these photos.
30:32Florence's face went pale.
30:34And that's not all.
30:35She married your eldest brother because she was furious that mom was setting you up with Irene.
30:42She's been cheating on your brother the whole time.
30:44Steven isn't even his child.
30:46She had him with someone else.
30:48She was scared you'd find out, so she wanted to marry a decent man to cover it all up.
30:52Tiffany sneered.
30:53She thought you still loved her.
30:55That's why she played hard to get.
30:57Enjoy herself first, then come back when she's ready.
31:00She figured men are easy.
31:01The harder they are to catch, the more they'll value you.
31:05She believed she could use your guilt and tenderness to control you for the rest of her life.
31:12Jeremy threw the photo onto the floor, stared quietly at Florence, and then suddenly smiled.
31:17But the smile was really scary.
31:24So this is what you meant by staying faithful to me?
31:27Thinking about me all the time?
31:29After everything was revealed, Florence wasn't so bold anymore.
31:32She knelt down in front of Jeremy, held his legs and cried.
31:35Jeremy, I was wrong.
31:36I didn't mean to accuse Irene.
31:38I was just scared you didn't want me.
31:41I promise I'll be a good wife from now on.
31:45I'll love you.
31:46Please forgive me.
31:48Who told you to stop?
31:50Take off the amulet.
31:52Jeremy looked coldly at the bodyguards.
31:54She misbehaves.
31:55Cut off her arms and legs.
31:58Don't break the amulet.
31:59I want to give it back to Irene.
32:01A few moments later, the screams of Florence and Steven filled the hotel lobby.
32:06Jeremy pinched her chin, his eyes cold as if looking at a corpse.
32:12I always thought I loved you, but now I realize I've had everything I wanted since I was a kid.
32:17You're the first person to reject me.
32:20My need to win made me see you as a target.
32:22And I confused my anger with love.
32:24But I ended up hurting the one I truly loved.
32:29What Jeremy said next was even more chilling.
32:31He let go of her chin, his gaze never leaving her face.
32:34You know what?
32:37When I saw Irene getting married just now, I had a horrible thought.
32:41I'd rather she had died than marry someone else.
32:44His voice dropped barely a whisper.
32:48But when I imagined her death, I realized I didn't want to live either.
32:53You lied to me, but that's okay.
32:56It's my fault for not seeing clearly Lee inside my heart.
33:26Florence shook her head in shock.
33:29Just as she tried to say something, a bodyguard covered her mouth and pulled her away.
33:33Remembering what he said, Marissa frowned.
33:39Jeremy, Irene is already married, so don't trouble her anymore.
33:43I understand, Mom.
33:45Jeremy smiled gently.
33:46Tiffany helped Marissa leave.
33:47There was something unsettling beneath Jeremy's calm smile.
33:50Jeremy picked up the amulet, but then tossed it back to the ground.
33:56Irene has always liked things clean.
33:58This is dirty.
33:59She won't accept it.
34:01I'll make a new one for her.
34:02His eyes were red at the corners.
34:05Irene belongs to me.
34:07I will bring her back.
34:10The day I received the call from Marissa was already three months later.
34:17Back in my own life now, I listened as Marissa explained everything that happened after I left.
34:22Then she told me that Jeremy had disappeared.
34:28Once I ended the call, I sat there for a long time, overwhelmed by everything I'd just learned.
34:39Irene, are you okay?
34:41My husband, Corbin Monroe, gently wrapped his arm around my waist and looked at me with concern.
34:48The Monroe family had been close to my family for years.
34:52But they moved to another country when I was very young.
34:54Still, Corbin and I always stayed in touch.
34:57Back then, I used him as an excuse because I wanted to leave but didn't want Marissa to worry.
35:02At that time I was prepared to raise my child on my own.
35:05It never crossed my mind that Corbin would offer to marry me.
35:09The Monroe family has money and influence.
35:12Why would they accept a woman who had someone else's child?
35:19I'm fine.
35:20Hurrying up, go to work, don't be wait.
35:22After he left for work, I headed to the hospital.
35:25I'd been having stomach pains for a few days and wanted to get it checked.
35:29But what I didn't expect was to be kidnapped on my way home.
35:39Before that day, there was something I hadn't expected.
35:42But to my surprise, Corbin didn't care at all.
35:44He actually came forward and told me he had liked me since we were young.
35:51He never said anything before because he knew I loved Jeremy and didn't want to lose our friendship.
36:01Corbin always felt bad seeing how much I lowered myself for Jeremy, but he also understood it wasn't his place
36:07to stop me.
36:08So instead, he stayed quietly by my side, trying to protect me.
36:14Corbin is kind and patient.
36:16He went out of his way to find top doctors overseas to help heal my body and treat my injuries.
36:22He personally made every meal and took care of me in every way.
36:26With his love, he helped mend the pain I carried and showed me what it meant to be truly loved.
36:35When they pulled the sack off my head, I stared at the person in front of me, stunned.
36:39I hadn't seen Jeremy in months, and now he looked thinner, his face more defined.
36:44But his bloodshot eyes were what scared me most.
36:47Jeremy?
36:47He touched my face gently, but the look in his eyes was filled with obsession.
36:58Irene, I've come to bring you back.
37:00My hands were tied, and I glanced around nervously.
37:03It looked like some kind of abandoned factory.
37:06I'm already married.
37:08There's nothing between us anymore.
37:15Just let me go.
37:19There was a flash of sadness in Jeremy's eyes before he pulled out an amulet and smiled.
37:27Irene, we grew up together.
37:30We've been there for each other at every turning point.
37:32We're meant to be tied together forever.
37:34How could you say there's nothing between us?
37:37Irene.
37:40Ritain was my fault.
37:41I didn't understand my disease and feelings.
37:43I admit I was wrought.
37:45Can you forgive me?
37:46I'll take care of your divorce and give you the biggest, most beautiful wedding.
37:51Look, I even made a wedding gown just for you.
37:54Do you like it?
37:55Come on.
37:56Let me help you try it on to see if it fits.
37:59While speaking, Jeremy suddenly pulled off my clothes and started putting the wedding gown on me himself.
38:04When he saw the faint scars forming on my body, his eyes trembled with emotion, and he gently kissed each
38:09wound with heartache.
38:13Irene, are you in pain?
38:14Irene, I'm so sorry.
38:17I promise I'll never hurt you again.
38:19From now on, I'll treat you right and love you properly.
38:23I fought back.
38:25Jeremy, stop.
38:27I don't have feelings for you anymore.
38:30I love my husband very much and won't leave him.
38:34What you're doing is wrong.
38:36What you're doing is wrong.
38:36Let me go.
38:39His eyes turned even darker with rage.
38:49I had never seen Jeremy act this out of control before.
38:53He looked completely insane.
38:55Suddenly, in the middle of the chaos, Corbin showed up with the police.
38:59Jeremy, release Irene right now.
39:02For some reason, Jeremy didn't show any surprise when they arrived right after.
39:06He pulled out a gun, aimed the black barrel at Corbin, and gave a cruel smile.
39:16Irene, is this the man you love so much?
39:19If I kill him, will you come back to me?
39:22I was terrified.
39:23Jeremy, don't hurt him!
39:24If you kill him, I'll bite my tongue and end my own life right away!
39:28Even if we both die, we'll stay together forever!
39:32Jeremy looked completely mad.
39:33His eyes were wild as he turned the gun towards me.
39:37Irene, I've made up my mind.
39:39If you're going to die with another man, it's better to die with me.
39:43That way, we can be together forever.
39:47And perhaps, if there's another life, you, without any memories, will fall in love with me again.
39:58Jeremy, what exactly are you doing now?
40:01When I loved you, you hurt and humiliated me, stripping away my pride.
40:06Now, I've finally found my happiness, and then you show up playing this twisted game of love.
40:11Isn't that just ridiculous?
40:13Listen carefully.
40:14If you hurt me, or my husband today, I will hate you forever.
40:20I don't ever want to see you again.
40:22Not in this life, but for all eternity.
40:26Jeremy's eyes shook with emotion, and his face was filled with sadness as he gave a bitter smile.
40:33Really?
40:34But Irene, I truly love you.
40:38I'd rather kill you, than watch you live with another man forever.
40:42However, that pain is too much for me.
40:46He raised the gun toward me once more.
40:48You've always followed me since you were a child.
40:51I always liked having you by my side.
40:58Now, let's go to hell together.
41:01Iron!
41:02Corbin shouted desperately.
41:03I closed my eyes, ready to accept whatever was coming.
41:07If dying meant escaping Jeremy's grip, then so be it.
41:10At least Corbin wouldn't get caught up in this.
41:12Jeremy pulled the trigger.
41:14Several gunshots echoed, but I didn't feel any pain.
41:16Instead, something suddenly exploded in front of me.
41:19When I opened my eyes, Jeremy was lying on the floor, bleeding heavily.
41:22The gun in his hand wasn't aimed at me.
41:24It was pointed at his own chest.
41:25Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
41:27Why?
41:29I stared at Jeremy, my lips trembling.
41:35Luckily, that Monroe guy arrived just in time.
41:39It stopped me from doing something terrible.
41:44Late, I learned Corbin had received an anonymous message at work warning him I was in danger
41:49and telling him to come and save me.
41:55Looking back, I realized Jeremy sent that message himself.
41:59His way of letting someone stop him.
42:02Irene, I'm sorry.
42:04After all the pain I caused you, I finally understand what's in my heart.
42:10Every day after you left, I kept thinking about you.
42:15I didn't want you to call me, Jimmy.
42:18I wanted to hear you say my name.
42:20Jeremy.
42:21When I saw the video of you marrying someone else,
42:23I felt so jealous I could have lost control.
42:29I felt like I was going crazy.
42:32I wanted to take you back.
42:33Even if it meant hurting you,
42:35I couldn't stand the thought of you staying with someone else forever.
42:39Jeremy's breath grew weaker.
42:40But I couldn't do that.
42:42I have hurt you so much already.
42:46How could I take away your chance at happiness?
42:50Since I can't control my feelings,
42:54I have to let others stop me.
42:58I owe you for what happened with Adrian.
43:00And now I'm trying to make it right.
43:02Irene, from now on, I will let you go.
43:05Please be happy.
43:06Let's not meet again.
43:08I'm sorry.
43:09I love you.
43:10Jeremy lifted his hand to touch my face one last time, but his strength gave out he died.
43:17Staring at his body,
43:18I was frozen for a long moment.
43:20It wasn't until Corbin wrapped me in his arms that I realized tears were falling.
43:26It wasn't because I still loved him.
43:29But to mourn the 10 years of my youth and my hidden love,
43:31I called Marisa to tell her the news.
43:34Marisa stayed quiet for a long while before sighing deeply.
43:37The police took Jeremy's body away.
43:40Tomorrow Tiffany will arrange the funeral.
43:50Corbin wiped my tears and held my hand gently.
43:53Irene, shall we go home?
43:55His hands were warm and kind, making me feel safe.
43:57I softly touched my belly, where a small life was beginning to grow.
44:00I was about to become someone new and begin a new chapter.
44:03The feelings of love and pain from before would slowly fade away with time.
44:06Okay, let's go home.
