Goodbye To My Don Englishsub Fullmovie
Transcript
00:00My name is Catherine Brown, the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.
00:04Today, my family pushed me into hell.
00:06The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.
00:08The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.
00:13Jolene!
00:14Let Jolene go! Do whatever you want with Catherine!
00:16If you touch Jolene again, I'll make sure you die here.
00:18Release Jolene first.
00:20Tied to a pillar, I listened to my three brothers abandon me without hesitation.
00:23I looked toward my fiancé, Declan Fulton, hoping he will save me.
00:27But he doesn't even glance my way.
00:28I choose Jolene too.
00:30This is the man I loved for three years.
00:33Code-blooded.
00:34Roofless.
00:41I know.
00:42Once I nearly died saving him.
00:44But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.
00:52Poor girl.
00:54Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
00:56No need to hurry.
00:57One at a time, boys.
00:59Everyone gets their turn.
01:01No one.
01:03Suddenly, a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.
01:06A dozen figures dressed in black storming fire.
01:09If you want to live,
01:12stop right now.
01:14I recognize the man.
01:15He is Liam Warren.
01:16The most powerful man in Artwell.
01:18Who commands a massive empire.
01:20Ruthless, formidable, and feared by everyone.
01:22Mr. Warren, please spare us.
01:39Who are you?
01:40I'm the one sending you to hell.
01:42Suddenly, the warehouse echoed with screams, desperate pleas, and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.
01:51How much did Jolene pay you?
01:53Five million.
01:55She wanted you ruined.
01:59Thank you for saving me.
02:04You've been poisoned for over a month.
02:06I can cure it.
02:08Do you trust me?
02:10I trust you.
02:11I draw a small blade, make a precise cut on his finger, and let out some blackened blood.
02:15Until it's fully out of my system, you're gonna have to stick close to me.
02:20First, I need to end things with the Browns.
02:23I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.
02:25When I return home, I find my biological parents and three brothers gathered around Jolana, showering her with care.
02:31I close the distance, grab a handful of Jolene's hair across the face.
02:35Catherine, have you completely lost it?
02:38Catherine, you come home and start hitting Jolene?
02:40You better apologize right now.
02:43Catherine, what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?
02:46Maybe we never should have taken you in.
02:49Me causing trouble?
02:51Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?
02:54She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping to get rid of me.
02:56I pull out my phone and play the recording.
02:59Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
03:01The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.
03:04No! It must be fake!
03:07Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
03:09Or maybe call the police?
03:10No! No! You can't call the cops, Catherine! I'm sorry!
03:14I'm the one who should leave this place!
03:17Catherine, Jolene's apologized. Just drop it!
03:19It's either her or me.
03:22Since you've chosen her, I'm out of here.
03:24In their eyes, I'll never measure up to Jolene.
03:27So why should I hold on to them?
03:28Just as I step outside, a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.
03:34Excuse me, are you Miss Catherine Brown?
03:36Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.
03:38I spot Austin coming out and get into the car without hesitation.
03:44The car glides into the Warren estate.
03:47The most powerful family in Ardwell.
03:52Liam is seated on a sofa, with a document resting in his hand.
03:58Is everything settled?
04:00Yes, I've cut ties.
04:01From this moment on, you're my personal doctor.
04:03Until I'm fully healed, you are to stay within my reach.
04:04All right.
04:05But I have two conditions.
04:07First, I need a complete medical lab.
04:09Second, our relationship is strictly professional.
04:11Besides that, neither of us interferes in the other's life.
04:15All right.
04:17But keep this in mind.
04:19If your medical skills don't live up to that confidence of yours...
04:23My medical skills won't disappoint you.
04:25Liam pulls out a sleek black card and hands it to me.
04:27Buy whatever you need. Don't hold back.
04:29I take the black card.
04:30A fully equipped medical lab doesn't come cheap.
04:33Since Liam offered this, I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.
04:36Once the poison leaves his system, we'll go our separate ways.
04:38I enter the room Liam arranges for me.
04:40This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.
04:43Ironic, isn't it?
04:44A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.
04:47I sit at the desk, open my laptop, and log into my social media.
04:52Soon, dozens of notifications flood the screen.
04:54Where did you run off to?
04:56Come back.
04:57Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.
04:59Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
05:00Who picked you up?
05:01Stop making everything difficult.
05:03Just return home.
05:05If you walk out now, you better not come crawling back.
05:08What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?
05:13Catherine, you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever, right?
05:17I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.
05:21I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.
05:25Get lost.
05:26Then I block them all without hesitation.
05:28That feels even better.
05:29This is how life should be.
05:30Logging out.
05:31I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.
05:36A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen, with a blood-red skull on it.
05:41Welcome back.
05:42Quietus.
05:42I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net.
05:45The genius hacker Quietus.
05:48My phone rings.
05:49It's Jeral Douglas, my loyal admirer.
05:52Catherine, you're actually back?
05:53I can't believe it.
05:54I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.
05:56Good.
05:56Oh, someone has been digging into your digital records.
05:59The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.
06:02It seems Liam is already investigating me.
06:04Let him dig.
06:05Make sure the only information they find is exactly what I want them to see.
06:11The next day, the driver takes me shopping downtown.
06:20Miss, these are new arrivals, and each costs over $100,000.
06:26Miss Brown, you're here just in time.
06:29I'll bring out the new styles for you.
06:33Catherine, what brings you here?
06:35The clothes here are quite expensive.
06:37Jolene, is this your sister?
06:38Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door is having a sale?
06:45Ring up everything I selected.
06:47The sales assistant's face goes pale.
06:49That's an unlimited credit card from a top global bank.
06:52Catherine, did you find someone to support you?
06:55Watch out.
06:57Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.
07:00I'll take the new dresses you were just showing Jolene to.
07:02What?
07:03I saw those first.
07:05Saw them first, but can't afford them?
07:07Maybe?
07:08Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance only $100,000?
07:12Jolene trembles with fury.
07:13I pay and walk out.
07:15I watch Jolene tremble with rage, unable to get a word out, and a fierce satisfaction forces through me.
07:21After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family, this is just a small payback.
07:25The charity gala that weekend is nothing short of spectacular.
07:28I enter the hall on Liam's arm.
07:30I'm dressed in a wine red gown.
07:31My makeup refined but understated.
07:34Tonight, I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.
07:37I am Liam Warren's date.
07:39The most powerful man in Ardwell.
07:41All eyes are drawn to us.
07:44Is that Mr. Warren?
07:46He actually showed up.
07:48Who's that woman with him?
07:49I've never seen her before.
07:51She's stunning.
07:53Is she from some notable family?
07:55I ignore the whispers.
07:56My eyes sweep across the hall and land on the Browns.
08:00Jolene is dressed to perfection, hanging on Austin's arm.
08:03Playing the part of a cherished woman.
08:04But the moment she sees me, her face drains of color.
08:07Austin freezes too.
08:09He stares at me, unable to believe his eyes.
08:14Catherine, what are you doing here?
08:16And with Mr. Warren?
08:17Where I go isn't any of your business.
08:19Who do you think you are to me?
08:24I'm your brother.
08:27I let out a cold laugh.
08:29Brother?
08:30When you abandoned me to the kidnappers, did you remember you were my brother then?
08:35Catherine.
08:37He's with me.
08:39His words are dripping with authority.
08:43Jolene approaches, her expression dark.
08:46Catherine, when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
08:48You never mentioned anything.
08:50And didn't I just see you shopping with another man two days ago?
08:53I look coldly at Jolene's face, trying to imply I'm a two-timer.
08:58Jolene, your tricks are way too amateur.
09:00Who Liam is, what my relationship is with him.
09:03None of that is any of your business.
09:11The following morning, I walk into the living area.
09:14And notice Liam is already awake.
09:27Good morning.
09:29Morning.
09:31I head to the kitchen to prepare the herbal mix.
09:37Just then, Liam's friend arrives.
09:45Is she the mysterious beauty who stunned everyone last night?
09:49That's Catherine Brown, my new personal doctor.
09:53You're serious?
09:54His skepticism is loud enough that I can't ignore it.
09:58Mr. Moreno, perhaps you should take things easy.
10:01Your dark under eyes and shortness of breath suggest your vitality is running low.
10:05So, Winfred's face flushes immediately.
10:07This touches on a man's pride.
10:09What nonsense are you spouting?
10:11Miss Brown, I'm not one to judge by appearances.
10:13But Liam's condition is severe.
10:15Many top experts have been stumped.
10:17And you?
10:17I'm not bothered.
10:19I've faced this kind of doubt many times before.
10:22We'll see soon enough.
10:24Winred, maybe you ought to let Dr. Brown give you a prescription.
10:29Liam, are you kidding me?
10:30This girl is not just some girl.
10:32She's Dr. Brown.
10:33Right now, she's the one keeping me alive.
10:35He then turns to me.
10:37Can you really fix me?
10:41Yes.
10:4130 minutes later, I begin the first acupuncture session.
10:46Liam pulls his shirt up, exposing his toned chest.
10:51I pull out the silver needles and insert them with speed and precision.
10:58When the last needle is inserted, Liam's body shivers.
11:02And he spits out dark red clotted blood.
11:09What did you just do to him, Dr. Brown?
11:11How are you feeling now?
11:17I feel great.
11:19Lighter than I have in a long time.
11:21Don't let yourself get too stressed.
11:23And most importantly, you'll need to prioritize rest and abstinence.
11:28Understood, Dr. Brown.
11:29I'll take your advice seriously.
11:31Winfred leans in and quietly asks if I can help with his health.
11:37I go back to my room and return with a bottle of pills.
11:41These are pills for male vitality.
11:43One bottle costs $100,000.
11:45$100,000?
11:46Are these pills made of solid gold?
11:49The ingredients are rare, and the process is complicated.
11:52Quality always demands a premium price.
11:55Winfred reluctantly pays.
11:56A sports car can be repaired, but if your health fails,
11:59no sum of money will grant you a second chance.
12:02The following morning, just as I prepare to leave,
12:05my phone buzzles with a call from Austin.
12:09Catherine, come back here right now.
12:11What is it?
12:12You'll find out when you get here.
12:13I realize that for the sake of my own peace,
12:16cutting all connections with the Brown family is necessary.
12:19The mood in the living room is thick with tension.
12:26Look who's back.
12:28How did you sink so low at your age,
12:30becoming someone's mistress?
12:33Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.
12:35I'm afraid you're being misled.
12:37Who I decide to be with is my own business.
12:41It doesn't concern your family.
12:43You're a Brown!
12:45Everything you do stains our family's name!
12:50Catherine, seriously,
12:51do you think Liam would ever give you the time of day?
12:53Are you all finished?
12:55First, Liam and I have a strictly doctor-patient relationship.
12:59Second, even if there were something else,
13:02it's none of your business.
13:03And don't forget that I am no longer part of your family.
13:07You said you cut ties,
13:08so give back the Brown group's shares.
13:12Those shares came from Grandpa.
13:15You don't have a single right to any of it.
13:18I pull out my phone and show them the screen.
13:21Since I stepped in,
13:22I've been recording all your insults,
13:24threats, and schemes to grab the shares.
13:27Keep pushing me,
13:28and I won't hesitate to hand this over to the press and the law.
13:33I put my phone away, feeling nothing.
13:36I used to put up with everything you threw at me.
13:40Now it's your turn to taste
13:41what it feels like to be on the other end of a threat.
13:46I leave the Brown family home and prepare to go back.
13:52Suddenly, a voice calls out.
13:54Catherine, is that really you?
13:56Where have you been hiding?
13:57I look at the woman before me.
14:00She's nearly 50,
14:02her face lined with wrinkles,
14:04her expression mean and petty.
14:05What do you want?
14:07You must have money if you're surviving this well.
14:09My son needs school fees,
14:11and you owe me half a million.
14:13If you don't pay up,
14:14I'll make a scene outside your place every single day.
14:17If you need cash,
14:18ask your real daughter, Jolene.
14:20I raised you all those years,
14:22so you should compensate me.
14:23You ungrateful brat!
14:25Stay out of my way.
14:27Otherwise, I won't hesitate to involve the police
14:29and reopening the case about you switching infants.
14:31You, don't do anything rash.
14:33I'll, I'll, I'll be going now.
14:35Bridget scurries off in panic.
14:40Just then,
14:41a sleek black Rolls Royce glides to a stop beside me.
14:45The window lowers,
14:47revealing Liam's handsome face.
14:49Do you need a hand?
14:50No, it's nothing serious.
14:52I've already taken care of it.
14:54Get in.
14:55It's nearly impossible to catch a taxi here.
14:58I hesitate,
14:59but eventually get into the car.
15:01Bridget's appearance reminds me of one thing.
15:03The Brown family's troubles aren't over.
15:05That woman's greed is bottomless.
15:07She won't let this go.
15:08But that's fine.
15:10I'm no longer that little girl who
15:12let others push her around.
15:15Anyone who wants to come after me
15:16had better think twice.
15:19On the weekend,
15:21Gerard asks to meet me at Harborview Genie,
15:23a popular restaurant.
15:28Catherine?
15:29I turn around,
15:30and my eyes fall on Jaleen,
15:32standing with the Browns and the Fultons.
15:34Did you hear we'd be here,
15:36and decide to show up just to cause a scene?
15:38Mr. Brown,
15:39I'm here for the food.
15:41Just then,
15:42a clear voice cuts through the tension.
15:46Miss Catherine Brown,
15:47you're here.
15:48Welcome.
15:49Please follow me.
15:50Everyone stares in shock
15:51as I walk toward the most private,
15:53rarely accessible suite
15:54in the entire restaurant.
15:56How is she getting in there?
15:57There must be some mistake.
16:00I push open the suite door,
16:02and Gerard immediately rises from his seat.
16:05Catherine, you made it.
16:07Gerard tells me his uncle
16:08has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
16:10He says the required surgery
16:11carries an extremely high risk.
16:17Start with this medication.
16:18Come back in a week for a follow-up.
16:20We'll reassess then.
16:25Thank you, Catherine.
16:27I was sure you'd have a solution.
16:29My name is Catherine Brown,
16:30the real heiress who was lost for 18 years.
16:32Today, my family pushed me into hell.
16:34The fake heiress Jolene and I were kidnapped.
16:36The kidnappers say the Browns can only save one of us.
16:40Jolene!
16:41Let Jolene go!
16:42Do whatever you want with Catherine!
16:43If you touch Jolene again,
16:44I'll make sure you die here.
16:45Release Jolene first.
16:46Tied to a pillar,
16:47I listened to my three brothers
16:48abandon me without hesitation.
16:50I looked toward my fiancé,
16:51Declan Fulton,
16:52hoping he will save me.
16:53But he doesn't even glance my way.
16:54I choose Jolene too.
16:56This is the man I loved for three years.
16:59Code-blooded.
17:00Roofless.
17:06I know.
17:07Once I nearly died saving him.
17:09But now he doesn't spare me an extra glance.
17:16Poor girl.
17:18Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
17:20No need to hurry.
17:21One at a time, boys.
17:22Everyone gets their turn.
17:24No!
17:26Suddenly,
17:27a deafening gunshot tears through the silence.
17:29A dozen figures dressed in black storming fire.
17:32If you want to live,
17:35stop right now.
17:36I recognize the man.
17:37He is Liam Warren,
17:38the most powerful man in Artwell,
17:40who commands a massive empire.
17:42Ruthless,
17:43formidable,
17:43and feared by everyone.
17:44Mr. Warren,
17:45please spare us.
17:59Who are you?
18:00I'm the one sending you to hell.
18:02Suddenly,
18:03the warehouse echoed with screams,
18:04desperate pleas,
18:05and the sickening cracks of breaking bones.
18:11How much did Jolene pay you?
18:12Five million.
18:14She wanted you ruined.
18:18Thank you for saving me.
18:22You've been poisoned for over a month.
18:24I can cure it.
18:26Do you trust me?
18:28I trust you.
18:29I draw a small blade,
18:30make a precise cut on his finger,
18:31and let out some blackened blood.
18:32Until it's fully out of my system,
18:34you're going to have to stick close to me.
18:36First,
18:37I need to end things with the Browns.
18:39I will settle things with the Browns once and for all.
18:42When I return home,
18:43I find my biological parents and three brothers
18:45gathered around Jolana,
18:46showering her with care.
18:47I close the distance,
18:48grab a handful of Jolene's hair,
18:50across the face.
18:51Catherine,
18:52have you completely lost it?
18:53Catherine,
18:54you come home and start hitting Jolene.
18:55You better apologize right now.
18:58Catherine,
18:59what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?
19:01Maybe we never should have taken you in.
19:03Me causing trouble?
19:05Why don't you ask Jolene what she's really done?
19:08She's the one who set up that whole kidnapping
19:09to get rid of me.
19:10I pull out my phone and play the recording.
19:12Jolene paid us to get rid of you.
19:14The Browns stare at Jolene in stunned disbelief.
19:18No!
19:18It must be fake!
19:20Do you want me to send this to a professional for verification?
19:22Or maybe call the police?
19:23No!
19:23No!
19:24You can't call the cops!
19:25Catherine,
19:26I'm sorry!
19:26I'm the one who should leave this place!
19:29Catherine,
19:29Jolene's apologized.
19:30Just drop it!
19:31It's either her or me.
19:33Since you've chosen her,
19:35I'm out of here.
19:35In their eyes,
19:36I'll never measure up to Jolene.
19:38So why should I hold on to them?
19:39Just as I step outside,
19:41a sleek Maybach rolls up right in front of me.
19:45Excuse me,
19:45are you Miss Catherine Brown?
19:46Mr. Warren sent me to pick you up.
19:48I spot Austin coming out
19:50and get into the car without hesitation.
19:54The car glides into the Warren estate.
19:57The most powerful family in Ardwell.
20:01Liam is seated on a sofa,
20:03with a document resting in his hand.
20:07Is everything settled?
20:08Yes,
20:08I've cut ties.
20:09From this moment on,
20:10you're my personal doctor.
20:11Until I'm fully healed,
20:12you are to stay within my reach.
20:13All right.
20:13But I have two conditions.
20:15First,
20:15I need a complete medical lab.
20:17Second,
20:17our relationship is strictly professional.
20:18Besides that,
20:20neither of us interferes in the other's life.
20:23All right.
20:24But keep this in mind.
20:26If your medical skills
20:28don't live up to that confidence of yours...
20:30My medical skills won't disappoint you.
20:31Liam pulls out a sleek black card
20:33and hands it to me.
20:34Buy whatever you need.
20:35Don't hold back.
20:35I take the black card.
20:36A fully equipped medical lab
20:38doesn't come cheap.
20:39Since Liam offered this,
20:40I'm not about to pinch pennies for him.
20:41Once the poison leaves his system,
20:42we'll go our separate ways.
20:43I enter the room Liam arranges for me.
20:45This room is twice the size of my bedroom at the Browns.
20:48Ironic, isn't it?
20:48A stranger gives me better lodging than my own family.
20:52I sit at the desk,
20:53open my laptop,
20:54and log into my social media.
20:56Soon,
20:56dozens of notifications flood the screen.
20:58Where did you run off to?
20:59Come back.
21:00Jolene isn't holding a grudge about you hitting her.
21:02Why are you still throwing a tantrum?
21:03Who picked you up?
21:04Stop making everything difficult.
21:07Just return home.
21:08If you walk out now,
21:09you better not come crawling back.
21:11What kind of stupid stunt are you pulling?
21:15Catherine,
21:16you're not seriously thinking of leaving forever?
21:18Right?
21:19I stare at these messages and let out a cold laugh.
21:23I quickly type one simple, satisfying reply to each one.
21:27Get lost.
21:27Then I block them all without hesitation.
21:29That feels even better.
21:30This is how life should be.
21:31Logging out,
21:32I switch to another browser and types in a hidden URL.
21:36A metallic door slowly creaks open on screen,
21:39with a blood-red skull on it.
21:41Welcome back.
21:42Quietus.
21:42I'm one of the most legendary figures on the dark net,
21:45the genius hacker Quietus.
21:47My phone rings.
21:48It's Gerald Douglas,
21:50my loyal admirer.
21:51Catherine,
21:51you're actually back.
21:52I can't believe it.
21:53I'll line up the highest paying jobs for you.
21:55Good.
21:56Oh,
21:56someone has been digging into your digital records.
21:58The trace leads back to the Warren Group headquarters.
22:00It seems Liam is already investigating me.
22:02Let him dig.
22:04Make sure the only information they find
22:05is exactly what I want them to see.
22:09The next day,
22:10the driver takes me shopping downtown.
22:17Miss,
22:17these are new arrivals,
22:18and each costs over $100,000.
22:23Miss Brown,
22:24you're here just in time.
22:25I'll bring out the new styles for you.
22:28Catherine,
22:29what brings you here?
22:30The clothes here are quite expensive.
22:32Jolene,
22:33is this your sister?
22:34Should we tell her the fast fashion store next door
22:35is having a sale?
22:40Ring up everything I selected.
22:41The sales assistant's face goes pale.
22:43That's an unlimited credit card
22:44from a top global bank.
22:46Catherine,
22:47did you find someone to support you?
22:49Watch out.
22:50Not everyone's as trustworthy as they seem.
22:54I'll take the new dresses
22:54you were just showing Jolene to.
22:56What?
22:56I saw those first.
22:58Saw them first,
22:59but can't afford them?
23:00Maybe?
23:01Isn't the Brown family's monthly allowance
23:03only $100,000?
23:04Jolene trembles with fury.
23:05I pay and walk out.
23:08I watched Jolene tremble with rage,
23:10unable to get a word out
23:11and a fierce satisfaction courses through me.
23:13After all the humiliation I endured in the Brown family,
23:15this is just a small payback.
23:16The charity gala that weekend
23:18is nothing short of spectacular.
23:19I enter the hall on Liam's arm.
23:21I'm dressed in a wine-red gown,
23:22my makeup refined but understated.
23:24Tonight,
23:25I am not the abandoned daughter of the Brown family.
23:28I am Liam Warren's date.
23:29The most powerful man in Ardwell.
23:31All eyes are drawn to us.
23:34Is that Mr. Warren?
23:36He actually showed up.
23:37Who's that woman with him?
23:39I've never seen her before.
23:41She's stunning.
23:42Is she from some notable family?
23:43I ignore the whispers.
23:45My eyes sweep across the hall
23:47and land on the Browns.
23:48Jolene is dressed to perfection,
23:49hanging on Austin's arm,
23:51playing the part of a cherished woman.
23:53But the moment she sees me,
23:54her face drains of color.
23:55Austin freezes too.
23:56He stares at me,
23:57unable to believe his eyes.
24:02Catherine,
24:02what are you doing here?
24:03And with Mr. Warren?
24:05Where I go isn't any of your business.
24:06Who do you think you are to me?
24:10I'm your brother.
24:13I let out a cold laugh.
24:15Brother?
24:16When you abandoned me to the kidnappers,
24:18did you remember you were my brother then?
24:20Catherine.
24:23He's with me.
24:24His words are dripping with authority.
24:28Jolene approaches,
24:29her expression dark.
24:31Catherine,
24:31when did you start seeing Mr. Warren?
24:33You never mentioned anything.
24:34And,
24:35didn't I just see you shopping
24:36with another man two days ago?
24:37I look coldly at Jolene's face,
24:39trying to imply I'm a two-timer.
24:42Jolene,
24:42your tricks are way too amateur.
24:44Who Liam is,
24:45what my relationship is with him,
24:46none of that is any of your business.
24:53The following morning,
24:55I walk into the living area
24:56and notice Liam is already awake.
25:08Good morning.
25:10Morning.
25:11I head to the kitchen
25:13to prepare the herbal mix.
25:17Just then,
25:18Liam's friend arrives.
25:25Is she the mysterious beauty
25:27who stunned everyone last night?
25:28That's Catherine Brown,
25:29my new personal doctor.
25:32You're serious?
25:33His skepticism is loud enough
25:35that I can't ignore it.
25:37Mr. Moreno,
25:38perhaps you should take things easy.
25:40Your dark under eyes
25:41and shortness of breath
25:42suggest your vitality is running low.
25:43Winfred's face flushes immediately.
25:45This touches on a man's pride.
25:47What nonsense are you spouting?
25:48Miss Brown,
25:49I'm not one to judge by appearances.
25:51But Liam's condition is severe.
25:52Many top experts have been stumped.
25:54And you?
25:54I'm not bothered.
25:56I've faced this kind of doubt
25:57many times before.
25:59We'll see soon enough.
26:00Winred,
26:01maybe you ought to let
26:02Dr. Brown give you a prescription.
26:05Liam,
26:06are you kidding me?
26:06This girl is not just some girl.
26:08She's Dr. Brown.
26:09Right now,
26:10she's the one keeping me alive.
26:11He then turns to me.
26:12Can you really fix me?
26:16Yes.
26:1730 minutes later,
26:18I begin the first acupuncture session.
26:21Liam pulls his shirt up,
26:22exposing his toned chest.
26:25I pull out the silver needles
26:26and insert them with speed and precision.
26:32When the last needle is inserted,
26:34Liam's body shivers.
26:36And he spits out dark red clotted blood.
26:42What did you just do to him,
26:43Dr. Brown?
26:44How are you feeling now?
26:49I feel great.
26:51Lighter than I have in a long time.
26:52Don't let yourself get too stressed.
26:54And most importantly,
26:56you'll need to prioritize
26:57rest and abstinence.
26:59Understood, Dr. Brown.
27:00I'll take your advice seriously.
27:02Winfred leans in and quietly asks
27:03if I can help with his health.
27:07I go back to my room
27:08and return with a bottle of pills.
27:11These are pills for male vitality.
27:13One bottle costs $100,000.
27:15$100,000?
27:16Are these pills made of solid gold?
27:18The ingredients are rare
27:19and the process is complicated.
27:21Quality always demands a premium price.
27:24Winfred reluctantly pays.
27:25A sports car can be repaired,
27:26but if your health fails,
27:28no sum of money will grant you a second chance.
27:31The following morning,
27:32just as I prepare to leave,
27:33my phone buzzles with a call from Austin.
27:37Catherine, come back here right now.
27:39What is it?
27:39You'll find out when you get here.
27:41I realize that for the sake of my own peace,
27:43cutting all connections with the Brown family
27:44is necessary.
27:46The mood in the living room
27:48is thick with tension.
27:52Look who's back.
27:54How did you sink so low at your age,
27:56becoming someone's mistress?
27:59Catherine, I'm only trying to help you.
28:00I'm afraid you're being misled.
28:02Instead, who I decide to be with
28:04is my own business.
28:06It doesn't concern your family.
28:08You're a Brown!
28:10Everything you do stains our family's name!
28:14Catherine, seriously,
28:15do you think Liam would ever give you
28:16the time of day?
28:18Are you all finished?
28:20First, Liam and I have a strictly
28:21doctor-patient relationship.
28:23Second,
28:24even if there were something else,
28:25it's none of your business.
28:26And don't forget
28:27that I am no longer part of your family.
28:29You said you cut ties,
28:31so give back the Brown group's shares.
28:35Those shares came from Grandpa.
28:38You don't have a single right to any of it.
28:40I pull out my phone and show them the screen.
28:42Since I stepped in,
28:43I've been recording all your insults,
28:46threats,
28:46and schemes to grab the shares.
28:48Keep pushing me,
28:49and I won't hesitate
28:50to hand this over to the press
28:51and the law.
28:54I put my phone away,
28:55feeling nothing.
28:57I used to put up with everything
28:58you threw at me.
29:00Now it's your turn to taste
29:01what it feels like
29:02to be on the other end of a threat.
29:06I leave the Brown family home
29:08and prepare to go back.
29:11Suddenly,
29:12a voice calls out.
29:13Catherine,
29:14is that really you?
29:15Where have you been hiding?
29:16I look at the woman before me.
29:18She's nearly 50,
29:20her face lined with wrinkles,
29:22her expression mean and petty.
29:24What do you want?
29:24You must have money
29:25if you're surviving this well.
29:27My son needs school fees,
29:28and you owe me half a million.
29:30If you don't pay up,
29:31I'll make a scene outside your place
29:32every single day.
29:34If you need cash,
29:35ask your real daughter, Jolene.
29:36I raised you all those years,
29:38so you should compensate me.
29:40You ungrateful brat!
29:42Stay out of my way.
29:43Otherwise,
29:44I won't hesitate
29:44to involve the police
29:45and reopening the case
29:46about you switching infants.
29:47You...
29:48Don't do anything rash.
29:49I'll be going now.
29:50Bridget scurries off in panic.
29:55Just then,
29:56a sleek black Rolls Royce
29:58glides to a stop beside me.
30:00The window lowers,
30:01revealing Liam's handsome face.
30:03Do you need a hand?
30:05No, it's nothing serious.
30:06I've already taken care of it.
30:08Get in.
30:09It's nearly impossible
30:10to catch a taxi here.
30:11I hesitate,
30:12but eventually get into the car.
30:14Bridget's appearance
30:15reminds me of one thing.
30:16The Brown family's troubles
30:17aren't over.
30:18That woman's greed is bottomless.
30:20She won't let this go.
30:21But that's fine.
30:23I'm no longer that little girl
30:24who let others push her around.
30:27Anyone who wants to come after me
30:28had better think twice.
30:31On the weekend,
30:33Gerard asks to meet me
30:34at Harborview Genie,
30:35a popular restaurant.
30:39Catherine?
30:40I turn around,
30:41and my eyes fall on Jalene,
30:43standing with the Browns
30:44and the Fultons.
30:45Did you hear we'd be here
30:46and decide to show up
30:47just to cause a scene?
30:48Mr. Brown,
30:49I'm here for the food.
30:51Just then,
30:52a clear voice
30:53cuts through the tension.
30:55Ms. Catherine Brown,
30:57you're here.
30:57Welcome.
30:58Please follow me.
30:59Everyone stares in shock
31:00as I walk toward
31:01the most private,
31:02rarely accessible suite
31:03in the entire restaurant.
31:04How is she getting in there?
31:06There must be some mistake.
31:08I push open the suite door,
31:10and Gerard immediately rises
31:11from his seat.
31:13Catherine,
31:14you made it.
31:15Gerard tells me
31:15his uncle has been diagnosed
31:16with a brain tumor.
31:17He says the required surgery
31:19carries an extremely high risk.
31:24Start with this medication.
31:26Come back in a week
31:26for a follow-up.
31:27We'll reassess then.
31:31Thank you, Catherine.
31:33I was sure you'd have a solution.
