Short filmTranscript
00:00After working in Seattle for a full year, just as my project was nearing completion, my best friend Sophie sent
00:07me a screenshot of my husband's Instagram post. Celebrating the baby's 100-day milestone, thanks to my hardworking wife, Sophie
00:17teased me.
00:18Catherine, you're really something. A whole year has passed and you didn't tell anyone you had a baby.
00:23I froze. Evan and I had been married for years and we had always agreed on being a child-free
00:29couple. Where did this child come from? I immediately called Evan to question him. His voice sounded unusually calm, almost
00:38dismissive.
00:39Oh, that's a relative's child from Megan's side. I thought it was cute and shared it. I didn't even notice
00:44I copied the caption too and forgot to change it.
00:47I smiled faintly into the phone and whispered,
00:51All right.
00:51After hanging up, I called my brother Chris.
00:54Stop all the funding for Evan's new lab project. He's been cheating. I'm filing for divorce.
01:00After finishing up the last bits of work, I didn't even bother packing my bags.
01:06I called an Uber and rushed back to my house in Beverly Hills.
01:10Before I even reached the front door, I saw a sea of colorful balloons floating in the distance.
01:17The scene lively with celebration.
01:20The driveway was packed with various expensive sports cars and luxury vehicles.
01:25At the entrance of the mansion, a huge, beautiful poster stood tall.
01:31On it was an intimate close-up of Evan with a woman holding a baby.
01:35Their faces pressed together. What a sweet, happy family of three.
01:40I was furious, my teeth grinding. I pushed open the car door and stormed towards the house.
01:47But before I reached the door, a security guard in uniform stopped me.
01:53Ma'am, may I see your invitation?
01:55I was being asked for an invitation to my own home.
01:59I gave him a cold stare. He eyed me warily, as though I was a common trespasser.
02:04Today is the 100-day party for Mrs. Morris, CEO of Morris Group's son.
02:09For safety reasons, everyone must present an invitation to enter.
02:13Morris Group's CEO? That's me.
02:16When my brother took over the family business, he insisted on giving me the title of CEO.
02:22He's the chairman, and I'm the CEO.
02:25How come I didn't know I had a son all of a sudden, seeing me stunned?
02:30The security guard grew impatient.
02:32Sorry, no invitation, no entry. Please step aside.
02:37He sneered as he took in my travel-weary appearance.
02:40Honestly, it's been a crazy day. All these people trying to sneak in for some advantage.
02:45Don't even know what their place is.
02:47I barely held back my anger, trying to explain patiently.
02:52I'm Catherine Morris, the owner of this house. I just got back from a business trip.
02:57Yeah, yeah.
02:59He interrupted me dismissively, his face full of mockery.
03:03You're the owner, and I'm the president. Who the hell are you to impersonate the homeowner?
03:08Do you want me to call the police and have you arrested?
03:10I couldn't be bothered to argue. I took out my phone, pulled up the property deed photo from my gallery,
03:17and shoved it in his face. But all he did was glance at it, his expression growing even more disdainful.
03:25Ha! You think you can pretend to be the homeowner with just a stolen document photo? I bet you're after
03:30money. Crazy.
03:31With that, he pressed his walkie-talkie.
03:34Someone's causing trouble at the front gate. Send a few people to remove this crazy woman.
03:40Soon, a few house assistants dressed in matching uniforms came running from the yard.
03:47The security guard was grinning as he looked at me.
03:50Still not leaving? You'll regret it soon.
03:52I sneered. The leader of the group was Richard, the old butler. He had worked here for years.
03:59And there's no way he didn't recognize me. My heart settled slightly, suppressing my fury as I said.
04:07Richard, tell him who the real owner of this house is.
04:10To my surprise, Richard seemed to hesitate for a moment, his eyes shifting nervously before he frowned.
04:18This villa was assigned to Mr. Evan Wood by the Institute. Now, Mrs. Wood, the CEO of Morris Group,
04:24is inside hosting the guests. Please leave immediately.
04:28As he spoke, two burly men rushed out from behind and grabbed my arms roughly, attempting to drag me out.
04:36That was the last straw.
04:40I shouted at Richard, my voice filled with fury.
04:45Richard, three years ago, your son got into trouble with the mafia over illegal gambling.
04:50And it was me who paid off his debts and saved his life.
04:53You dare say you don't know me?
04:55Richard's forehead broke out in cold sweat, his face turning pale as he gritted his teeth and said,
05:02Yes, I remember perfectly. You're the woman who has been relentlessly chasing after Mr. Wood.
05:08Unfortunately, even if you throw yourself at him, Mr. Wood won't look your way.
05:12His heart only belongs to Mrs. Morris. I suggest you give up.
05:16The security guard next to him sneered.
05:19So you're the shameless mistress. How dare you show up today to cause trouble for Mrs. Morris.
05:24Get this woman out of here.
05:26With that, he grabbed my hair and yanked me out roughly.
05:30I lifted my leg in pain and delivered a hard knee to his crotch.
05:35He groaned in agony.
05:36Curling up in pain, I seized the opportunity to break free from his grip.
05:41Dammit, you must have a death wish.
05:44He yelled furiously and raised his fist to strike me.
05:48Just then, the door to the mansion opened, and the sound of high heels clicking rapidly on the floor approached.
05:55What's all this noise early in the morning? This is completely inappropriate.
06:00Megan said, frowning, walking over with an unhappy expression.
06:05It's my son's party today. What on earth are you all doing here making a scene?
06:09Instantly, everyone bowed their heads respectfully.
06:14As if they were in the presence of a real queen, the security guard who had hit me retracted his
06:20fist and stepped forward, smiling obsequiously.
06:24Mrs. Morris, you arrived just in time.
06:27This crazy woman insists she's the owner of the house and is trying to force her way in.
06:32Even Richard the butler has exposed her, and she still won't leave.
06:35She even dared to assault a security officer.
06:38No, attack the security personnel.
06:41Megan raised her chin arrogantly, glancing at me sideways.
06:45I met her gaze directly, and with a single glance, I clenched my fists tightly.
06:51The ruby necklace around her neck and the matching earrings, those were my comingophage gift from my brother, Chris.
06:58On my 18th birthday, because I was always immersed in my lab work and didn't care for such lavish jewelry,
07:06I kept them locked in my personal safe at home.
07:10Even Evan didn't know the password.
07:13How could she be wearing them?
07:14I took a deep breath, almost grinding my teeth as I spat out the words.
07:20Where's Evan? Tell him to come out and face me.
07:22Slap. Megan slapped me across the face with a loud crack, sneering.
07:28Who do you think you are, calling my husband's name?
07:31Get lost before I call the police.
07:33Today is my son's special day, and I don't want to deal with trash like you in public.
07:38Her perfectly manicured nails scraped across my cheek, stinging painfully.
07:44My eyes bloodshot with anger, I shouted.
07:47I am his legal wife.
07:48Laughter erupted around me, and it was clear no one believed my words.
07:54I widened my eyes, desperately scanning the crowd.
07:57After Evan and I married, his mother, Mary, had always lived with us.
08:03Over the years, I treated her as my own mother, and if she came out, she could prove my identity.
08:11Mary.
08:11My eyes lit up as I rushed toward the familiar figure, but before I could even touch her sleeve,
08:18she shoved me hard, I stumbled and fell heavily onto the cement ground.
08:23My forehead slamming into the edge of a flower bed.
08:27Damn, that hurt.
08:28Before I could get up, I heard Mary's sharp voice.
08:32Who gave you permission to call me that?
08:34My son doesn't have a wife like you.
08:36I looked up at her in shock, there was Evan's mother, tightly guarding Megan, and next to
08:43her stood a nanny holding a baby, she glared at me with pure venom.
08:48Our daughter-in-law is the sister of the chairman of the Morris Group, Mrs. Morris, a high and
08:53mighty woman.
08:54You're just a lowly researcher, and you dare to cause trouble here.
08:58I was completely stunned.
09:00Mary, it's me, three years ago.
09:02You had heart surgery and were in the hospital.
09:05Evan was out of town and I stayed with you in the ward for half a month.
09:09Do you really not recognize me?
09:10Mary wouldn't even spare me a second glance.
09:14She turned and smiled ingratiatingly at Megan.
09:17Darling, don't bother with her.
09:20This woman has always been trying to climb higher, clinging to Evan.
09:24Don't worry, I know exactly what kind of man Evan is, and he would never look at someone
09:30like her.
09:30The only Mrs. Evan in our family is you.
09:34Let me get someone to deal with her now.
09:39At that moment, the baby in the nanny's arms suddenly burst into loud crying.
09:45Mary quickly took the child and gently soothed him.
09:49Oh, my little darling is awake.
09:52Don't be scared.
09:53Don't be scared.
09:54It's that crazy woman who woke you up.
09:56Grandma will teach her a lesson right now.
09:59I was shaking with rage, and without hesitation, I pulled out my phone and called Evan.
10:06What's going on with that woman and the baby at home?
10:09You need to get home right now and explain yourself.
10:12On the other end of the line, Evan's breathing was clearly disordered, and there was a hint
10:18of panic in his voice.
10:20You weren't you supposed to be finishing your project next month?
10:23Why are you back now?
10:25Just stay there and wait.
10:27Let me explain.
10:28I'll be right there.
10:29I hung up the phone and glared at Megan and Mary.
10:33I was determined to see what ridiculous story Evan would come up with when he arrived.
10:40Megan sneered as if she suddenly remembered something.
10:44Oh, I just remembered.
10:46Evan mentioned you to me.
10:50As she spoke, she deliberately pushed her chest out, clearly augmented, and provocatively
10:57looked at me.
10:59So, you're the ex-girlfriend who never piqued his interest?
11:02Evan said you were as conservative as a nun, and your underwear looked like your grandmother's
11:07old bed sheets.
11:08Every time he faced you, it felt like charity work.
11:12Tsk, tsk, tsk.
11:14No wonder he was so frustrated.
11:17Since meeting me, he's completely changed.
11:20He practically clings to me every day.
11:22He says, even if he died in my arms, it would be worth it.
11:27I was so furious, I almost lost my mind.
11:30I shouted,
11:32You shameless bitch.
11:33Without thinking, I raised my hand and slapped her across the face.
11:38Megan clutched her cheek, her scream piercing the air.
11:43You dare hit me.
11:44In an instant, several bodyguards surrounded me.
11:48Megan's face twisted with rage as she pointed at me.
11:52Teach this bitch a lesson.
11:54Rip her clothes off.
11:56I'm going to make a video and post it online.
11:59Let everyone in Seattle see just how shameless this woman is.
12:05With a ripping sound, my shirt was torn violently, buttons flying off, exposing the lingerie underneath.
12:14I screamed and struggled desperately, but with the strength of the men holding me down, I was pinned to the
12:20grass.
12:22Megan sneered as she grabbed my chin and spat in my face.
12:32I looked hopelessly at Mary, hoping for some mercy, but all I saw was her holding up her phone and
12:39recording a look of glee on her face.
12:42A chill ran through me as I desperately clutched my Apple Watch, pressing the emergency assistance button.
12:51The next second, my arms were brutally pulled apart, stretched out in a shape and forced down onto the ground.
12:59Just as my clothes were about to be completely torn off, a black SUV screeched to a halt in front
13:06of the steps.
13:07Everyone, stop!
13:10It was Evan.
13:11The bodyguards froze, quickly releasing their grip on me.
13:16I curled up on the ground, my body trembling violently with humiliation and rage.
13:25Evan rushed over quickly, but he didn't even look at me.
13:30Instead, he went straight to Megan.
13:33Darling, what happened to your face?
13:35Who did this?
13:36He gently cupped Megan's face, then hurriedly checked the baby in the nanny's arms.
13:42Is the baby okay?
13:43Is he scared?
13:45Megan snuggled into his arms, pouting in a fake show of distress.
13:50This woman suddenly barged in, hit me, and accused me of being a mistress.
13:55The baby got so scared he started crying.
13:58The security guard who had attacked me quickly nodded and fawned over Evan.
14:03Mr. Wood, that's right, this woman has gone crazy, we were protecting your wife.
14:09Only then did Evan turn to look at me.
14:12His face instantly turned ashen, his eyes cold as if I were garbage.
14:18Smack!
14:18He raised his hand and slapped me across the face.
14:23Catherine!
14:24How dare you touch my woman!
14:26I was stunned by the slap, my vision blurred, and disbelief filled my face.
14:32How dare he!
14:37Megan sneered, raising her high-heeled shoe and pressing it down hard onto the back of my hand.
14:43I screamed in pain, instinctively trying to push her away.
14:48But Evan kicked me aside, he furrowed his brow, holding Megan by the waist, his expression full of disgust.
14:56Don't touch her yourself.
14:58Don't let this filthy thing soil your limited edition heels.
15:02At that moment, my heart shattered into a million pieces.
15:06Evan had the audacity to openly cheat on me, even steal my life away.
15:11I picked up a scrap of fabric from the ground to cover myself, stumbling to my feet, desperate for an
15:19explanation.
15:20Evan looked at me with disdain and slapped me again.
15:24Blood oozed from the corner of my mouth, and my mouth filled with the taste of iron.
15:30He yanked my hair, about to strike again.
15:33At that moment, a senior executive from the institute, Mr. Green, walked over just in time.
15:42Evan, the party is going well, what's going on here?
15:48I grabbed onto the opportunity like a lifeline, struggling to stand up.
15:54Mr. Green, it's Catherine.
15:57Evan betrayed me and while I was away, he had an illegitimate child.
16:01They've even teamed up to humiliate and beat me.
16:03As a core member of the institute, Mr. Green certainly knew of my relationship with Evan, seeing my disheveled state.
16:12His face darkened, and he hurriedly took off his suit jacket and draped it over my shoulders to cover me,
16:20with red-rimmed eyes.
16:22I stared defiantly at Evan and Megan, but to my surprise, Evan remained unfazed, lazily handing Mr. Green a cigar.
16:32Mr. Green, don't listen to her that we've been separated and are in the process of getting divorced.
16:37She couldn't handle the blow and develop delusions.
16:41Today, at my son's party, she barged into my wife's event and started hitting people.
16:45He leaned in close to Mr. Green's ear, whispering a few words, giving him the typical man-understand signal.
16:57Mr. Green's face instantly turned cold.
17:01He turned to me and scolded.
17:03I can't believe you're this kind of person, making up lies for personal gain.
17:07You're a disgrace to the scientific community.
17:10You're fired, don't come to the lab tomorrow.
17:12With that, he turned and left without a second glance.
17:17I was completely stunned, just as I was about to chase after him.
17:22Megan grabbed my hair and slammed me to the ground, her face twisted in a wicked smile.
17:29Catherine, since you're so desperate, I'll make sure you get your fill today.
17:34She signaled to the bodyguards nearby and ordered,
17:37Drag her away, take her to the secluded garden.
17:41We can't have her ruining the eyes of our distinguished guests here.
17:45The next second, my suit was ripped off me, and several strong men grinned as they approached.
17:52I screamed in desperation, but a large hand was quickly shoved over my mouth.
17:57They lifted me as if I were luggage, carrying me toward the remote woods.
18:05The surrounding guests only watched coldly, some even whispering in amusement, at that moment.
18:13All my hope shattered, just as I was about to give up, sinking into the endless darkness.
18:19The ground outside the mansion suddenly rumbled with a deafening roar of engines.
18:24A fleet of Rolls Royces sped toward the garden gate, crashing it open.
18:30The car doors opened, and dozens of armed bodyguards filed out.
18:35The moment everyone saw the man leading the group, their faces turned pale.
18:40My brother, Chris, was striding over with a deadly aura.
18:45When his eyes landed on me, seeing me being carried by the men, almost undressed,
18:52he completely exploded.
18:54He roared as he rushed forward, landing a powerful punch that sent the leading security guard crashing
19:01to the ground.
19:03Scattering his teeth, the bodyguards behind him sprang into action, knocking the others
19:09down in mere moments, leaving them groaning on the floor.
19:16Chris shakily caught me in his arms.
19:19His deputy quickly retrieved a blanket from the car and wrapped it tightly around me, seeing
19:25the bruises and cuts on my face.
19:28Chrissy's eyes filled with tears.
19:30He stood up and turned to Evan, his voice cold enough to send shivers down your spine.
19:36You ungrateful scoundrel.
19:38My sister changed the name on her patents for your career.
19:41The position you hold now, this mansion, she gave you all of it, and you're just going
19:45to stand by and let these scum humiliate her?
19:48At first, Evan seemed intimidated by Chrissy's presence and took a step back.
19:53But when he saw Megan by his side, he seemed to regain his composure and sneered.
19:59Stop trying to intimidate me.
20:01This house was given to me by the Institute.
20:04Everything I've achieved is because of my own hard work.
20:07Who do you think you are?
20:09You think I'm scared just because you brought some bodyguards?
20:13Ha!
20:14You're nothing more than a little manager at Morris Group.
20:16Just a dog on a leash.
20:21My wife is the sister of your highest-ranking chairman.
20:25Let's see who dares to touch us.
20:27Megan, standing beside him, straightened her back, trying to appear every bit the aristocrat.
20:34Chris, enraged, let out a laugh.
20:38He ignored Evan and stared directly at Megan.
20:41You say you're Morris's sister.
20:43Do you even know me?
20:44Before Megan could speak, Evan burst into loud, mocking laughter.
20:50Are you deaf?
20:51I'm talking about the little princess of the Morris family.
20:54Don't you get it?
20:55Do you see the necklace my wife is wearing?
20:58It was a gift from the chairman himself for her comingifage.
21:02A lowly worker like you wouldn't be able to afford one in ten lifetimes.
21:07Evan clapped Megan on the shoulder, smiling with smug satisfaction.
21:12Darling, call your brother and bring him over.
21:15Let these clueless fools see what real power looks like.
21:19Megan's eyes flashed with a moment of panic, but she quickly composed herself and pretended to dial a number on
21:26her phone.
21:30Turning to shout at Chris.
21:32He is on his way.
21:34If you know what's good for you, leave now, or I'll make sure you can never show your face in
21:39the American academic world again.
21:41Chris gave a low chuckle, a playful smile curling on his lips.
21:45Is that so?
21:46So, I've been with the company all this time and have yet to meet the chairman.
21:50I think today's a good time to finally see him in person.
21:53The security guard who had been knocked down struggled to get up, spitting on the ground.
21:58Ha, when Mr. Morris arrives, let's see how you beg on your knees.
22:02Mr. Green also stepped forward, trying to dissuade Chris.
22:07Mate, don't let your emotions get the best of you.
22:10Mr. Morris is famous for spoiling his sister and no matter how capable you are, offending his sister will ruin
22:16your career.
22:17The surrounding bodyguards joined in, mocking.
22:21Look at him acting all high and mighty, just a lapdog of the Morris family.
22:26I can't wait to see the real Mr. Morris show up and make these idiots piss their pants.
22:31Ha, ha.
22:35Megan, thinking she had won, held her head high and sneered at Chris.
22:41Did you hear that?
22:42Now get lost.
22:44Chris let out a cold laugh, turning to look at me, curled up in the blanket.
22:49He raised an eyebrow and silently mouthed.
22:52I told you not to be so low-key all the time.
22:55I could only return a bitter smile.
22:57The bodyguards behind Chris were all visibly red in the face.
23:02Struggling to suppress their laughter, their bodies trembling slightly.
23:08Just then, Mary suddenly stepped forward, pointing at Chris and shouting.
23:13Are you all idiots?
23:14You still can't tell, who the real master is.
23:17Get a grip on who's really paying your salaries.
23:20She pointed a finger at Chris and scolded him.
23:24You're just riding on my daughter-in-law's coattails, pretending to be important here.
23:28It's my grandson's party, so take this bitch and get out of here before you dirty the carpet.
23:33Chrissy's eyes turned icy cold in that instant.
23:40Evan, shaken by the killing intent in Chrissy's gaze, tugged at his mother and tried to act tough.
23:47Mom, tone it down.
23:49But his attitude became even more arrogant.
23:52He raised his chin at Chris.
23:54My mother's right that you've ruined the party today.
23:57Now you're going to kneel and apologize to my wife.
24:00Chris didn't acknowledge him at all and just stared coldly at the entrance.
24:05At that moment, a stretch limousine pulled up at the door.
24:09A large, overweight man with a big belly tumbled out of the car.
24:14Who dares to bully the sister of the chairman of Morris Group, Jack?
24:18They must have a death wish.
24:20Behind him, a flamboyantly dressed woman wearing expensive jewelry stepped out,
24:26carrying a limited edition Hermes bag, and shouted in a high-pitched voice.
24:32Which blind fool dares to bully my husband's sister?
24:35My husband is the head of the Morris Board.
24:37Megan's face lit up when she saw them,
24:43rushing towards them with a miserable expression.
24:46Chris, it's them.
24:48They not only hit me, but they also tried to steal Evan.
24:52The man, who called himself Jack, followed Megan's pointing finger and locked eyes with Chris.
24:59The smug look on his face instantly froze, and his complexion drained to a pale white,
25:06his legs shaking uncontrollably.
25:09Mr. Morris, chairman.
25:11With a thud, he fell to his knees.
25:14The woman, now terrified, quickly hid her Hermes bag behind her,
25:19sweat pouring from her forehead.
25:21The entire scene fell deathly silent.
25:24Megan and Evan hadn't reacted yet,
25:27thinking that everyone was intimidated by Chris and his wife's presence.
25:32Megan sneered at me.
25:34Do you know why Green isn't helping you?
25:36My brother is one of the largest donors at the Institute.
25:40Even the dean bows to him.
25:42Offend me.
25:46And I'll make sure you vanish from the academic world.
25:49Before anyone could respond,
25:51Mr. Smith, the executive director of the Institute, arrived.
25:57Evan was overjoyed and tried to shake his hand.
26:00Mr. Smith, you came at the perfect time.
26:03But Mr. Smith didn't even glance at him,
26:06walking straight to Chris and respectfully bowing his head.
26:10Mr. Morris, chairman.
26:12He then turned to me, gasping.
26:15My God, who dared to injure the chairman's sister like this?
26:18Evan stood frozen, his voice trembling as he pointed at Chris.
26:24Mr. Smith, did you, did you just call him what?
26:28Mr. Smith looked at him with confusion.
26:31Mr. Morris, chairman, he's our biggest investor at the Institute,
26:35and your brother-in-law.
26:36Didn't you meet him at the wedding?
26:37What on earth is going on here?
26:39How could Ms. Catherine be beaten in her own home?
26:42We need to call the police immediately
26:47and put the culprit in jail for life.
26:50The bodyguards who had participated in the assault turned pale,
26:54while Megan's face turned white as she stammered in defense.
26:59It's, it's all a misunderstanding.
27:02Chris let out a cold laugh.
27:04A misunderstanding.
27:05You impersonated my sister, illegally occupied her property,
27:10stole the birthday gift I gave her, and even incited thugs to try to assault her.
27:16And you call this a misunderstanding?
27:18Slap?
27:19Chris slapped Megan hard, then turned to the bodyguards.
27:23Seal off the area.
27:25Call the police.
27:26Anyone involved.
27:27Don't let them get away.
27:28Megan completely broke down.
27:30Her so-called brother, Jack, was kneeling on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
27:37Mr. Morris, it was me.
27:38I was confused.
27:40Megan made me do it.
27:41It's not my fault.
27:42Please, spare me.
27:43The sister-in-law also knelt, frantically removing her jewelry.
27:51Mr. Morris, I was wrong.
27:54I shouldn't have taken these things.
27:56They were all gifts from Megan, that bitch.
28:00The three of them began frantically shifting the blame,
28:04even getting into a physical altercation right there.
28:07Only Evan and Mary stood frozen in place.
28:11Like two comical puppets, they could never have imagined that their so-called little princess of Morris was a fraud.
28:19Megan's brother was just a driver at the Morris estate.
28:23And the sister-in-law was nothing more than a cook there.
28:27Chris ignored the garbage in front of him and walked straight toward Evan.
28:32He swung a fist with all his might.
28:35Cheating.
28:36Bang.
28:36Evan's jaw jerked to the side.
28:39Illegitimate, child.
28:40Wham!
28:41Evan slammed hard into a statue.
28:45Still dare to hit my sister.
28:47Chris kicked Evan again, breaking one of his ribs.
28:54Evan clutched his chest, his face full of fear as he begged.
28:59Catherine, darling, I really am sorry.
29:01I couldn't help but laugh.
29:03It wasn't that he felt sorry, it was that he was afraid.
29:07Chris stepped on his face and ground it into the dirt.
29:11What did I tell you on the wedding day?
29:13If you ever hurt my sister, I'll make your life worse than death.
29:16Immediately, the bodyguards bound Evan up like a dead dog.
29:21Meanwhile, Mary was panicking, her hands shaking as the nanny's baby cried uncontrollably in her arms.
29:29But Mary didn't even glance at him.
29:32Instead, she rushed to my feet and begged.
29:35Catherine, please, help Evan.
29:37We were deceived by that Megan.
29:40We were good to you before, don't you remember?
29:42I sneered and interrupted her.
29:45Of course, if you had known I was the real Mrs. Morris, you would never have done this, right?
29:50Mary seized the opportunity, nodding frantically.
29:57I shook my head in self-mockery, no warmth in my eyes.
30:02Well, I should be thankful.
30:04Otherwise, who knows how much longer I would have been fooled by you.
30:08They had only been good to me because I could give Evan fame and status.
30:14I was always focused on my research, never caring about wealth.
30:20So when Evan asked me to put his name on my research, I agreed without hesitation.
30:27But when they thought they had a better golden goose, they tossed me aside without hesitation.
30:34Chris wrapped his arm around my shoulder, sighing.
30:37It's okay.
30:38Seeing things clearly now is better than being deceived my whole life.
30:42Soon, the LAPD arrived.
30:45There were surveillance cameras everywhere and countless witnesses.
30:50Megan, her brother, and her sister-in-law were sentenced to 20 years in prison for grand theft and fraud.
31:01The bodyguards who had insulted me were charged with attempted rape and would spend the rest of their lives in
31:09maximum security prisons.
31:11Mr. Green was immediately fired by the board of directors.
31:16He cried and called me, begging for mercy.
31:20Katrin, I was deceived by Evan.
31:22I'm a victim too.
31:23I replied with one sentence.
31:26The scientific community doesn't need spineless people like you.
31:30As for Evan, with aggravated charges of assault and bigamy, he got six years in prison.
31:37On the day of the verdict, Mary had a stroke from the shock and was left paralyzed.
31:43The mansion was reclaimed by the institute.
31:47A portion of the household savings was given to me as compensation.
31:51The rest went to the endless medical bills.
31:55The Wood family was completely destroyed.
31:59The once flattering butler, Richard, tried to seek my forgiveness after losing his job, but I had already changed all
32:11my contact information.
32:13Mary was too consumed by her own situation, and the poor child, Thomas, was sent to an orphanage.
32:21For the first six months after the divorce, I was trapped in nightmares, in my dreams.
32:28I would always return to that moment of desperation, when my clothes were being torn apart.
32:35Thankfully, Chris hired the best therapist in the country for me.
32:40A year later, at the scientific summit in Seattle, my name appeared on the headlines of all major American media
32:48outlets.
32:49Thanks to the public reveal of a previously classified project.
32:54This time, the media referred to me not as Mrs. Morris' sister, but as Nobel Prize contender, Chief Senior Researcher
33:05Catherine Morris.
