The Nance Family Business is a gripping family revenge short drama filled with hidden heirs, corporate power struggles, betrayal, inheritance battles, and redemption. Born into the influential Nance family, a young woman is underestimated and pushed aside while ambitious relatives compete for control of the family empire. After years of exile and humiliation, she returns with extraordinary business talent and a carefully planned strategy to expose corruption from within. As shocking secrets, boardroom betrayals, and family conspiracies come to light, she must decide whether to reclaim the Nance legacy—or let the empire collapse under the weight of greed.

I couldn't verify an official short drama or synopsis released under the exact title The Nance Family Business. Current search results primarily return unrelated films, TV series, and user-uploaded videos rather than an official production matching this title. The description above is therefore based on the title and common family-business revenge themes, not a confirmed official plot.

Transcript
00:00The day I almost died, my husband let his mistress take my kidney with her own hands.
00:05He even pulled the entire medical team out of my emergency room so his mistress could get painkillers.
00:11Broken glass was inside me. I could feel my life slipping away.
00:15I grabbed his hand and begged him to save me, or my family would kill him.
00:20He laughed.
00:21Your family? You're an orphan. Stop lying.
00:25He had no idea. In my family, I was the only one who was sane.
00:30My mom was a serial killer. My dad was a sociopath.
00:34My younger brother Alden was violently protective.
00:37I had kept them away for five years to protect he.
00:40Now I was calling them home.
00:42I was in a terrible car accident, with shards of glass embedded deep in my lower abdomen.
00:47Yet my husband Talon had all the surgeons who were supposed to operate on me called over to Doreen Pardo's
00:54room.
00:55Just because she was suffering from menstrual cramps.
00:58With all of my remaining strength, I yelled.
01:02Tal! I arranged my surgery, or my family will kill you!
01:07However, Talon pinched my face.
01:09Don't talk nonsense. You're lying. You have no family.
01:16Talon and I had been together for five years.
01:19To stop him from meeting my family, I kept telling him they were doing business abroad.
01:24Why? Because in my family, I was the only one who was sane.
01:29My mom was a serial killer.
01:31My dad was a sociopath.
01:33My younger brother, Alden Nance, was violently protective.
01:37Talon knew none of this, speaking to me in a tone as if he were bestowing charity.
01:42I didn't mind that you were an orphan. I married you anyway.
01:47How can you compete with Doreen for priority in such a trifle now?
01:51Should anything happen to her, I'll lose a ten million dollar deal!
01:56With that, he sent away all of his subordinates.
02:00Since your family is so capable, I don't think you need me. Let's go.
02:05Despair engulfed my heart as I watched him leave.
02:08With all of my remaining strength, I sent a message to our family's group chat.
02:13Unbeknownst to Talon, gone with my message was his last chance to live.
02:19During the five years we lived together, he had never believed me when I told him about my family.
02:25Every time I hesitated, or implied my family was dangerous, he thought I was being unreasonable.
02:31The monitor beeped rapidly.
02:33Weston Patel, Talon's most trusted bodyguard, remained standing still at the door.
02:39After five years working for me right now, he nonchalantly watched me bleed.
02:44Soon, there was a blood pool underneath my body.
02:47I sensed that I was too severely injured to make it to my family's arrival.
02:57Weston, will you please get me a doctor? Any doctor?
03:01After, shaking his head, he replied in a hoarse voice.
03:05Mr. Sanborn orders that Minda's treatment is the priority.
03:09He says your injury isn't lethal.
03:11Not lethal.
03:12I looked down at the broken glass that had pierced my abdomen, feeling my vitality leaving my body with the
03:18warm blood.
03:19He'd lost his heart to another woman now.
03:22What did my injury matter to him?
03:25My phone was still in my hand.
03:27On the screen was my family's group chat.
03:30Alden's last message read,
03:32Susie, we've just gotten on the plane.
03:34See you in two hours.
03:36He also sent me a photo of mom buying a peeler at an airport duty-free store.
03:40The caption said,
03:42A gift for Susie.
03:43She's always complaining about her peeler.
03:45With trembling hands, I typed,
03:48Hurry, I'm dying.
03:50Hardly had I sent the message before Weston's phone rang.
03:53Once again, he tried to persuade me.
03:57Mrs. Sanherd,
03:59why won't you listen to Mr. Sanherd and apologize to Miss Pardley?
04:04All he can think of is her now.
04:06You must face it.
04:09I shook my head indifferently and gestured for him to answer the call.
04:16I didn't know what the caller told him.
04:19Weston only had one eye.
04:20The pupil of his right I contracted.
04:22He turned abruptly to me.
04:24Mrs. Sanherd,
04:26your maiden name is Nance?
04:30The surname Nance opened the gate of my memory.
04:33After school,
04:35unlike other students who were all eager to go home,
04:38I wanted to stay in the classroom.
04:40Mom wore a faint smile every time she picked me up.
04:43However,
04:44the first thing she did when we got home was ask me to put on a mask.
04:48Susie,
04:48I'm going to dismember this man later.
04:51Go study in your room.
04:52It's going to be too bloody here.
04:54She told me years of domestic violence crushed this man's wife.
04:57As a result,
04:59the woman jumped into the sea with their child and died at midnight.
05:02Therefore,
05:03Mom decided to punish this man on behalf of his wife.
05:06I had never seen Dad kill anyone,
05:08but there were all kinds of organs in his studio.
05:11For over ten years,
05:13the adornment on the door handle remained Weston's left eye.
05:17Alden was the scariest.
05:19Oddly,
05:19every time someone weak was bullied,
05:21the bully was found to have committed suicide the next day.
05:25Susie,
05:26such a scumbag doesn't deserve to live in your world.
05:29Over time,
05:30a killing intent was sensed wherever I went.
05:33No one wanted to make friends with me.
05:37Talen was an exception.
05:39When the whole class isolated me,
05:41he helped me carry my books.
05:45You're not a freak.
05:46You have a unique charm.
05:49Once,
05:50an anatomical drawing fell out of my school bag.
05:53He calmly picked it up for me.
05:55Your brother draws comics like a professional.
05:58Back then,
05:59I had thought he was the only one who could see who I really was,
06:02despite the dark side of my family.
06:05What does your family do abroad?
06:07Clutching my clothes,
06:08I had replied evasively.
06:11Import and export.
06:12He didn't question it.
06:14It must be tiring.
06:16I'll be your rock from today on.
06:19You don't have to bear everything alone.
06:21That day,
06:22at sunset,
06:23he went down on one knee and proposed.
06:25He vowed earnestly that he'd protect me for the rest of my life.
06:28And I believed him.
06:30Despite my family's warning,
06:32I eloped with him and came to this city.
06:35Susie,
06:36men aren't trustworthy.
06:37Mom had said,
06:39It's okay if you don't want family property.
06:43But don't disgrace us.
06:44Dad had observed,
06:46Susie,
06:48if he doesn't behave,
06:50I'll make him.
06:52Alden had remarked,
06:55Those words had fallen on deaf ears, though.
06:58I had believed Talon was different.
07:00Sadly,
07:01when Doreen Pardo came along,
07:03he was attracted to her easily.
07:05Doreen was the main suspect of my car accident.
07:07But Talon refused to look into it.
07:10Looking at the horrified Weston,
07:12I nodded.
07:13Get me a doctor now if you don't want to become fully blinded.
07:17I held on to my last breath.
07:20Finally,
07:20a doctor came and brought me back from death.
07:23I lay in the trauma room,
07:25listening as the heart monitor finally settled into a steady rhythm.
07:29The doctor had just hung a bag of plasma when the door flew open.
07:33Doreen stormed in.
07:34She was wearing a hospital gown,
07:36the bandages on her hand loose and unraveling.
07:39She didn't scream,
07:40but the room went dead silent.
07:43The doctors froze.
07:44Get out.
07:47Mrs. Pardy,
07:48she just got her pulse back.
07:50We have to transfuse.
07:52I said,
07:54get out.
07:56Doreen tilted her head,
07:58and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward.
08:01They hauled the doctors out of the room.
08:03Doreen walked to the side of the bed,
08:05stared down at my face,
08:06and smiled.
08:08Suzanne,
08:10do you have any idea
08:12how long I've waited for this?
08:14My voice was a wreck.
08:18Get out.
08:20Get out?
08:21She raised her hand and slapped me across the face.
08:25The stitches on my face tore.
08:27I felt a warm trickle of blood at the corner of my mouth.
08:30Do you actually think Tal believes a word you say?
08:34He thinks you're insane!
08:36You set up the crash.
08:38I stared at her.
08:40It wasn't a question.
08:41She leaned in,
08:42her lips brushing my ear.
08:44That's right.
08:46I had the brake lines cut.
08:48The timing was perfect.
08:50My fingers twitched.
08:52I wanted to grab her by the hair,
08:53but I didn't have the strength.
08:57If he finds out,
08:59he'll kill you.
09:01Who?
09:02Talon?
09:03He's busy getting my birthday present ready.
09:06Besides,
09:07dead people can't talk.
09:10Weston stammered from the corner
09:12before finally finding his voice.
09:14Mrs. Pardit, stop!
09:16You can't kill Mrs. Sanwell!
09:18Doreen chuckled.
09:19Who gave you permission to speak?
09:21I tried to signal Weston to back off,
09:24but a sudden, blinding pain hit me.
09:26Does that hurt?
09:28Doreen pressed her finger right into the wound at my waist.
09:32It won't hurt for much longer.
09:34She slowly unbuttoned my hospital gown,
09:37her eyes cold and calculating.
09:39I ran a secret compatibility test.
09:42When you had your physical three months ago,
09:46Tal had all your records sent straight to me.
09:50Your kidney is a match.
09:52My eyes widened.
09:54So that was it.
09:55The crash.
09:56The drama.
09:57It was all for this.
09:59You're crazy!
10:01You think you can get away with stealing an organ?!
10:06Stealing?
10:07Please.
10:08Tal will have the paperwork ready.
10:11It'll say you died from your injuries
10:13and volunteered to donate.
10:16As for your family,
10:19they won't even find your body.
10:22The bodyguards wheeled me into the operating room.
10:24Doreen snapped on a pair of medical gloves
10:26and stood beside the doctor,
10:28watching me with a dead stare.
10:32She wasn't a nurse,
10:33but she was right.
10:34Talon would cover it all up for her.
10:37I felt the cold bite of a scalpel slicing into my skin.
10:41Above me,
10:41I heard her humming a tune,
10:43sounding cheerful and relaxed.
10:46Weston's mouth was taped shut.
10:47He could only make muffled, panicked sounds.
10:50The straps on the operating table dug into my wrists,
10:54but the sharp agony in my abdomen drowned out everything else.
10:57My phone buzzed frantically on a nearby table.
11:00Messages from the family group chat lit up the screen,
11:03one after another.
11:05Susie, we just got into the city.
11:07Susie, hang on.
11:09I'm deciding whether to drain one liter of her blood or two.
11:11But they were too late.
11:13I felt something being ripped from my body.
11:16My vision blurred.
11:18The room began to spin.
11:19Through the haze,
11:20I saw the doctor drop the bloody organ into a cooler.
11:24Doreen patted my cheek.
11:25Thanks for the gift.
11:27She turned to leave,
11:28but the operating room door was kicked open.
11:31Talon stood in the doorway,
11:33his face pale.
11:37Talon stood in the doorway,
11:39his gaze dropping to my blood-soaked waist.
11:44Susie, who did this?
11:47Who the hell did this?
11:50I let out a shaky breath of relief
11:52and pointed a trembling finger at Doreen.
11:58Tal.
12:01Doreen's eyes instantly went red.
12:08You're finally here.
12:10I was so scared.
12:13Susan tried to trick you again.
12:15She stumbled forward and collapsed into his arms.
12:21Suzanne crashed the car on purpose.
12:27She tried to kill me.
12:30Even just now,
12:32right on the operating table,
12:34she said she wanted me mutilated.
12:38I only came in to check on her injuries,
12:41but she snapped.
12:43She went crazy and tore up my stitches.
12:46She held up her bandaged hand.
12:48Small spots of blood stained the white gauze.
12:52In reality,
12:54I had barely brushed against it during our struggle.
12:58But Talon's expression shifted instantly.
13:00His concern for me evaporated.
13:03He wrapped his arms around Doreen,
13:05his eyes filled with distress.
13:09Don't be afraid.
13:10I've got you.
13:11He looked up at me,
13:13his face twisting into that familiar look of disgust.
13:17Suzanne,
13:18you are sick.
13:22I squeezed out my last ounce of strength,
13:25my voice rasping in my throat.
13:34Tal, she admitted.
13:36she ordered someone to cut the brake lines.
13:46She wants my kidneys.
13:52Talon cut me off,
13:54pressing his hand down near the edge of my wound.
13:58Suzanne,
14:00how long are you going to keep lying?
14:04Doreen has renal chitis.
14:07She needs a transplant.
14:09And you just happen to be a match.
14:14You think that's a coincidence?
14:18You investigated her.
14:20You knew she needed a donor,
14:21so you rigged the medical checkup to blackmail me.
14:25Didn't you?
14:26I froze.
14:27I didn't have the words.
14:29Behind him,
14:30Doreen flashed a smile of pure victory.
14:36Tal.
14:36She whispered suddenly,
14:39tugging gently at his cuff.
14:43The doctor said
14:46one kidney didn't might not be enough.
14:50My rejection reaction is severe.
14:56If I have two,
14:58this success rate is way higher.
15:02The room went dead silent.
15:07Talon didn't even look at me.
15:09He turned straight to the doctor.
15:13Will she die?
15:15Ignoring the fresh,
15:16searing pain from my surgery,
15:17I shouted on instinct.
15:21Talon,
15:22do you have any humanity at all?
15:26How could anyone survive without both kidneys?
15:30Use your head!
15:35Doreen suddenly pressed her chest against Talon.
15:40Tal,
15:41she won't die.
15:42The mortality rate is only 1%.
15:48Besides,
15:50giving me the kidneys
15:52could help you secure that billion-dollar contract.
15:58Talon stayed silent for a long time.
16:05Talon stayed silent for a long time.
16:05Then do it.
16:11Susie,
16:12look,
16:12if the surgery succeeds,
16:15I'll take you to Iceland.
16:20We'll see the northern lights
16:22like you've always wanted.
16:25That should be enough.
16:29My blood ran cold as I watched the scalpel moving closer
16:36I squeezed my eyes shut and screamed
16:40The next second, the operating room door was kicked open
16:45The frame shattered under the force, flying off its hinges
16:51Three people stood in the doorway
16:55My mother wore a perfectly tailored black suit
16:59She held a knife gift set she'd bought at the airport, smiling with gentle elegance
17:03My father was in a custom suit, toying with a scalpel
17:11The bodyguards at his feet were already bloodied and beaten
17:16My brother Alden wore a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses
17:22Looking refined and harmless
17:27He pushed up his glasses, his dark gaze sweeping over me on the operating table
17:34Finally, his eyes landed on Talon
17:36His voice was soft, as if offering an invitation
17:44Talon
17:46Sorry to intrude
17:48But I have to ask
17:50How would you like to die?
17:52The silence in the room was absolute
17:59Doreen was the first to break under the pressure
18:09Tal, get these people out of here
18:12But no one listened to her
18:17My father even made a throat-slitting gesture in her direction
18:29Doreen's shrill scream pierced the air
18:31She hid behind Talon, shaking
18:34Who are you people?
18:35Security!
18:37Where is security?
18:39Talon's face turned pale
18:43He stared at the distinct footprint on the broken door frame
18:48Then at the unconscious bodyguards on the floor
18:52His throat worked, but no sound came out
18:56Alden adjusted his glasses again and smiled politely
19:09He stepped aside, revealing the hallway
19:11He stepped aside, revealing the hallway
19:13Seven or eight bodyguards in black lace sprawled across the floor
19:16Motionless
19:21Mom crouched nearby, slowly wiping blood from her hands before waving at me
19:29Susie, honey
19:30I just took out the trash
19:32Didn't scare you, didn't I?
19:36Mom usually handled the logistics in our family
19:43Talon finally found his voice
19:46Who are they?
19:49The heavy weight in my chest vanished
19:50I told you, my family
19:53They do business overseas
19:56He yelled
19:57You're still lying to me?
20:00What kind of business involves killing people?
20:02What is this?
20:05Mom walked in
20:06The sound of her heels crisp against the floor tiles
20:10She placed the knife box on the operating table
20:12And elegantly untied the ribbon
20:16Susie didn't tell you
20:18Then there's no need for you to know
20:20She pulled out a surgical blade and gestured toward Talon
20:25Dad walked over to Doreen
20:26Gripping her chin to inspect her like a product on a shelf
20:31Kidney pain?
20:33This cut on my daughter's waist?
20:36Did you do this?
20:38Doreen was too terrified to cry
20:40It wasn't me!
20:42Suzanne donated voluntarily!
20:45I don't know!
20:48Dad
20:51Alden walked over
20:52Pulling a neatly folded paper from his lab coat pocket
20:58I checked
21:00She tampered with her own medical report three months ago
21:07She doesn't have renal coric
21:10She just we had a breath DOS for the birthday
21:13He paused
21:14His eyes narrowing behind the lenses
21:19After all, she's an addict
21:21She overdosed
21:23Her own kidneys are completely rotted
21:25Talon whipped his head around to look at Doreen
21:30You do drugs?
21:32Tal, don't listen to him!
21:35Doreen shrieked
21:38They're working together!
21:40They want to hurt me!
21:44Hurt you?
21:45Alden smiled
21:46A gentle, warm expression that made my blood run cold
21:51Susie
21:52Tell her
21:53If I wanted to kill someone, what would I do?
21:55I lay on the table
21:57My voice muffled by the oxygen mask
22:01You wouldn't talk
22:04You'd just do it
22:05As soon as the words left my mouth
22:07The scalpel in Dad's hand came down
22:13He didn't cut Doreen's face
22:14He sliced precisely through the buttons of her hospital gown
22:19The fabric fell open, revealing her waist
22:22Smooth, unblemished
22:25Completely free of any surgical scars
22:28Your kidney area is intact
22:31Dad said flatly
22:33Most people with kidney pain have needle marks from treatments
22:37This lady's skin is perfectly smooth
22:44Doreen collapsed to the floor in a heap
22:48Talon finally reacted
22:49Rushing forward to shield her
22:51But Alden caught his wrist
22:54Alden looked frail
22:55But his grip was incredibly strong
22:59Smiling, he peeled Talon's hand off Doreen
23:01Finger by finger
23:05Alden's voice was as gentle as if he were comforting a child
23:09Talon
23:10Back then
23:11Susie cut ties with her family for you
23:16She said
23:19You were the only person in the world who didn't care about her background
23:26He glanced at me lying on the table
23:30A flicker of pain crossed his eyes before turning into something much darker
23:36But she's dying
23:38And what are you doing?
23:41Alden smiled
23:45You're helping another woman harvest her organs
23:47You're killing her
23:51Talon stammered incoherent
23:53No, I didn't know
23:54Besides, it's just one kidney
23:56How could she die?
23:57Alden moved faster than I could track
24:02He slammed Talon onto the adjacent operating table and strapped him down
24:09In that case, let's test if you can survive with just one kidney
24:13Shall we?
24:16We secured the hospital fast
24:22I was rescued just in time to get my kidney put back where it belonged
24:28Now, the tables had turned
24:30It was Talon lying on the operating table
24:33He was screaming his head off
24:35You can't do this
24:36I'm the chairman of the Sandburn Group
24:39If you dare cut me open
24:46I will destroy the entire Nassi family
24:50Dad chuckled
24:51Idly turning a smooth stone over in his hand
24:57The Sandburn Group?
24:59With someone like you running it
25:01There's no need for that company to exist anymore
25:03Talon's phone started buzzing on the side table
25:06I picked it up and hit the speaker
25:09Mr. Sandburn, it's bad
25:11Your two top executives just committed suicide
25:13One jumped into the ocean
25:15The other off a building
25:17They left behind every scrap of evidence regarding our tax evasion
25:20For the first time
25:21Talon looked genuinely terrified
25:25You did this?
25:27How is that even possible?
25:32Dad spat on the floor
25:35It's a shame you only had two loyal dogs after all these years
25:40I was expecting more of a challenge
25:42Alden couldn't wait any longer
25:44His eyes were gleaming
25:47Pity, he's such a handsome guy
25:49But hey, this is my first time removing a CEO's kidney
25:58The operating room door slid shut
26:00Alden didn't use anesthesia
26:04Soon, agonizing screams rang out from inside
26:09Mom and I stood over Doreen looking down at her
26:12Her earlier arrogance had evaporated
26:17The sharp smell of urine drifted up from where she sat
26:21She'd wet herself in fear
26:22Mom frowned in disgust and ordered someone to drag her away
26:30Outside the operating room, the screaming gradually faded into silence
26:35Alden pushed the door open and walked out
26:37His white coat splattered with blood
26:41He slowly peeled off his gloves and tossed them into the bin
26:48Susie
26:49I took out the left one
26:51The quality is actually pretty good
26:54He adjusted his glasses
26:56Smiling politely
26:59I noticed a minor issue with his right kidney, too
27:02Should I take that one while I'm at it?
27:05My face was pale
27:06But my gaze held steady
27:09Keep it for now
27:10It's useful
27:12Mom was still wiping down her case of knives
27:14Not even bothering to look up
27:19Whatever Susie says
27:22He got off easy, if you ask me
27:27I originally wanted to turn him into a specimen as a discharge gift for you
27:33I smiled, actually touched
27:36Mom, that would scare the medical staff
27:41True
27:42Out Mom sighed with regret
27:44Then turned her attention to Aunt Doreen
27:46Who had just been dragged back in
27:49So
27:51How do you plan to handle this young lady?
27:54Doreen scrambled backward
27:56But Ad stepped on the hem of her dress to stop her
28:04Don't be in such a rush
28:07Didn't you say your kidney hurt?
28:10Want me to check it for you?
28:13I have a medical license
28:14And I specialize in vivisepte
28:18No, please
28:19At Doreen sobbed, gasping for air
28:21I was wrong, I was really wrong
28:23Talon made me do it
28:26He said if I killed Suzanne
28:28He'd marry me and give me 30% of the Sandburn Group's shares
28:32I closed my eyes
28:34Whatever affection I had left for him vanished right then
28:37It wasn't just a sudden change of heart
28:39This had been the plan for a long time
28:43Three days later
28:44A massive scandal hit the Sandburn Group
28:47Chairman Talon was reportedly in critical condition
28:50Due to kidney failure caused by a drug overdose
28:54His assistant Doreen was in police custody for fraud and attempted murder
29:01Of course, that was just the official story
29:04In reality, At Talon had been secretly moved to a private Nance family estate
29:12He lay in a hospital bed, deathly pale
29:15The wound at his waist throbbing
29:18Alden had thoughtfully provided the best medical equipment
29:22Though the doctors and nurses were all Nance family operatives
29:26I healed quickly
29:27The Nance family genes gave me exceptional recuperative abilities
29:31By the fifth day
29:32By the fifth day, I was walking normally
29:37When At Talon saw me, he looked hopeful for a split second
29:41Before his expression fell
29:43Susie, I'm sorry
29:45I really didn't know
29:47I didn't know Doreen was lying to me
29:49I sat in the chair by his bed
29:52Watching him in silence
29:55He struggled to reach out
29:56Trying to grab the hem of my shirt
29:59Do you remember?
30:00Junior year, you had that high fever
30:02I carried you on my back all the way to the hospital
30:04You said I was the only one for you
30:06I didn't say anything
30:08In our first date
30:10You were afraid of the dark
30:13So I held your hand and walked with you all night
30:16You said, as long as I was there
30:20You weren't afraid of anything
30:22Tears rolled down his face
30:25Susie, I was wrong
30:27Doreen tricked me
30:27I let greed cloud my judgment
30:31But I really do love you
30:33Those moments were real
30:37I looked down so he couldn't see the look in my eyes
30:43His tune had certainly changed
30:45A calculated expression crossed my face
30:49And I spoke softly
30:52Tal, I forgive you
30:54He jerked his head up
30:55Looking shocked
30:56And over-hoppeded
31:03Really?
31:04Yes
31:05But you have to help me with performance
31:08Otherwise, my family won't accept you
31:10When I told Mom I planned to forgive Talon
31:13She nearly drove the knife she'd been sharpening
31:16Straight into my headboard
31:20Suzanne, have you lost your mind?
31:26Did you forget he nearly killed you?
31:29Mom
31:29I haven't forgotten
31:31But he's still useful
31:36Under my devoted care
31:38At Talon started to recover
31:41I visited him every day
31:43Bringing up old memories
31:47I cooked his meals personally
31:49Always making sure to lace them with a truth serum
31:53Alden had developed it for his more twisted experiments
31:58Talon was deeply moved
32:00He swore he'd spend the rest of his life making it up to me
32:05Susie
32:07When I'm better
32:08Let's go to Iceland
32:10We'll see the northern lights
32:14He gripped my hand tightly
32:19I don't want anything else
32:21I just want to be with you
32:24I smiled and nodded
32:26Inside, I felt nothing but Confenk's contempt
32:30Meanwhile, At Alden was digging into Darby's background
32:38Before long, a detailed report landed on my desk
32:42It turned out the mastermind behind Dorney was someone we all knew
32:47She'd been holding secret meetings with my uncle Langston Nancy
32:56The man who had always been at war with my family
33:01Looks like some bottom feeders are trying to use you to take out the Nance family
33:05Dad turned a small, smooth stone over in his hands
33:09His eyes wide with excitement
33:12Susie, how do you want to play this?
33:16I glanced at my phone
33:17A message from Talon had just popped up
33:20Susie, I miss you so much
33:22Can I see you tonight?
33:23At the Ivy Club
33:25The Ivy Club was a private lounge where we used to go on dates
33:31Sure, I'll wait for you
33:35Get ready to close the net
33:38That night, I dressed with precision
33:40I wore the white dress Talon liked best
33:43I applied light makeup to look gentle, harmless
33:49Mom looked at me, her expression complex
33:53Susie, you're acting more and more like me
33:59Not acting, I am a Nancy
34:02Down to the bone
34:06At the club
34:07At Talon was already waiting
34:13He looked better, though his face was still pale
34:21Susie
34:24Tell I missed you
34:28Me too
34:34Susie
34:35Doreen has been asking to see me from the police station
34:39She says she knows she was wrong and wants to confess everything
34:42Oh?
34:44Are you planning to go?
34:45I want to hear what she has to say
34:48If you don't agree
34:51I won't go
34:52Go ahead
34:53It might be good to hear her out
34:55Maybe you'll uncover more of the truth
35:01Talon didn't know that every move he made was under surveillance
35:04The drug in his system didn't just make him pliable to the truth
35:08It allowed us to track his physical location
35:12The second day, he went to the police station
35:15The third day, he received a note out Doreen had smuggled out
35:21On the fourth day, he booked the presidential suite at a suburban five-star hotel
35:33Alden dropped a keycard on my desk
35:35Susie, do you really want to go in person?
35:39I can just splash them all over tomorrow's headlines
35:42No need to trouble yourself
35:44I wouldn't miss a show this good
35:47Inside the hotel room
35:49At Talon and at Yore, Doreen were in clinging to each other
35:55Tal, I'm scared
35:57The Nancy family won't let us go
35:59I've already regained Suzanne's trust
36:02She said as long as I behave, the Nancy family will leave me alone
36:07Really? Then our plan can still work!
36:10We proceed as usual
36:11Suzanne is an idiot
36:13She actually thinks I'm afraid of her
36:16Once Langston is ready
36:18We'll strike from the inside
36:20The entire Nance estate will be ours
36:25What about her family?
36:29Kill them all
36:32Especially her sick brother
36:35I'm going to preserve his corpse
36:37And hang it in my office
36:41And her murderer of a mother
36:44I want to send her to prison and let her rot
36:49As for Suzanne
36:51Keep her alive
36:52I want her to watch the Nancy family fall
36:55Then I'll lock her up and keep her as a pet for the rest of her life
36:58When the door pushed open, they were kissing passionately
37:02I walked in, followed closely by Dad, Mom, and Alden
37:15Go on
37:17Why stop?
37:19Susie
37:20Why are you all here?
37:23If I didn't come
37:26How would I hear such a brilliant plan?
37:31Talon
37:31Who was it you said you wanted to turn into a specimen?
37:38Talon
37:38I didn't realize you were so interested in my field of study
37:45Susie, let me explain
37:47Doreen forced me
37:48She seduced me
37:49She threatened me
37:50Talon, you
37:52Shut up!
37:53It's all your fault, you bitch!
37:55You made me betray Susie!
37:59What a performance
38:01Turning on each other so quickly
38:05You know, I almost believed you
38:07I almost believed those memories you brought up
38:10And those fake tears
38:13Susie
38:15It's a pity
38:18You shouldn't have taken my kidney
38:20And you definitely shouldn't have tried to hurt my family
38:25That night, the Presidal Suite turned into a slaughterhouse
38:28Mom elegantly opened the gift box of knives she'd brought
38:32And selected the sharpest one
38:35Susie
38:36Remember when I taught you anatomy?
38:39Dad smiled at Aunt Doreen
38:40This young lady has such fine skin
38:44It would make excellent leather
38:48Alden strapped Talon onto a portable surgical table
38:51Talon
38:52I brought my newest equipment
38:55I can harvest your organs while keeping your vitals stable
38:59You'll be able to watch yourself be hollowed out
39:02I walk to the floor-to-ceiling window and look down at the city lights
39:06Do it
39:08But keep them breathing
39:09I want them alive to see the ending
39:18The screaming lasted all night
39:22The next day, the news broke
39:25Langston Nace, major shareholder of the Nacy Group
39:29Was arrested for organ trafficking and murder
39:31Talon, CEO of the Sandburn Group
39:35Announced his permanent retirement due to severe kidney failure
39:39He transferred all assets to his wife, me
39:43As for Aunt Doreen, she lost her mind
39:46She was committed to a psychiatric hospital
39:49The Nather family are monsters
39:51The Nather family are monsters
39:54Three months later, I sat in the sunroom of the Nancy Manor
39:58Drinking afternoon tea
40:01Susie, Talon is on his last breath
40:04Should we keep going?
40:06Pull the plug
40:08End it
40:08And Doreen?
40:11Let her stay in the asylum
40:13The doctors there are all mom's former students
40:17Susie, a new shipment just came in
40:19Do you want to take a look?
40:20You guys handle that business
40:24What are your plans now?
40:28I looked at the sunlight outside
40:31Remembering Talon's mention of the Aurora
40:34I want to go to Iceland
40:37But not with Talon
40:38He's gone
40:39With whom?
40:42With the people who actually love me
40:45With you
40:48I'm sorry for the past
40:50For losing sight of the people who mattered
40:53Because of people who didn't
40:57We'd better hurry
40:58Business is booming over there
41:00We need a manager on the ground
41:02Alright
41:03Then let's take the Nancy family business to Iceland
41:06Outside the door
41:07Bodyguards stood in respectful rows
41:14Inside
41:15The room was filled with the laughter of a family reunited
41:21I lay back in the rocking chair
41:23Mom covered me with a blanket
41:25My brother handed me coffee
41:27And dad read the paper nearby
41:33This was the happiness I wanted
41:35Not the vanity of being a socialite
41:37Nor the status of a CEO's wife
41:40It was knowing matter who I was or what I did
41:43My family stood by me
41:45Even if the whole world betrayed me
41:47They wouldn't
41:49Because like me
41:51They were Nance
41:53We fought
41:54We killed
41:56But we depended on each other for life
42:00And the man who once said he'd protect me forever
42:03Was now nothing more than dust
42:06A joke to this city
42:09I closed my eyes
42:11A smile on my lips
42:14Talon, you lost
42:15You lost because you didn't understand this family
42:19Because you betrayed me
42:21And because of your own greed
42:23And I, at Suzanne
42:25The only sane person in the Nancy family
42:28Had finally returned to where I belonged
42:32In that house full of blood and sin
42:34I could be my true self
42:37The sun felt good
42:39The future would be good, too
42:41Because the Nancy family would always thrive
42:44And there is no one to survive
42:44How they stay
42:44I deserve
42:46I deserve
