The Vengeful Heiress's Contract
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:01So this is what a year did to me. Hormones wrecked my body up to 180 pounds and turned me
00:07into a pawn in my stepmother's game.
00:14Whoever you are, this is the last time we'll ever see each other.
00:18Why should I sacrifice my life for someone else's greed? Renounce me to Wade.
00:25Starting today, I get thin. I get beautiful. I take back everything that's mine.
00:40So you want to trade me to that bald old man for property? Fine. Let's go see your little chessboard.
00:51This man. How is he prettier than most women?
00:54You're here. Sit down.
00:56What? I'm here for a date at table nine.
00:59Table six. Or are you planning to let that deal fall apart because you didn't show?
01:03This is my chance.
01:05I'm Arthur. Let's get married. Today.
01:17I've read your file. We both need a marriage to stabilize our situations, don't we?
01:22You want to lock in your capital, and I need to escape that blood-sucking family. But why me?
01:26Instinct tells me you're the person who fits me perfectly, and I hate wasting time on pointless social games.
01:31This man is dangerous, but I don't have a way back anymore.
01:35Fine. I accept. But the contract has to say we don't interfere in each other's private lives, and after the
01:40wedding you give me my own property.
01:42Deal. I've already had the lawyer prepare the agreement.
01:45We go to City Heart now.
01:49Don't be nervous. This is only the beginning of our partnership.
01:54Guys, please stand a little closer and smile more naturally.
01:58I never thought I could be this happy.
02:04Damn it. An urgent matter came up on that side.
02:07Looks like our newlywed life will be busier than expected.
02:10Sir, the situation in the Southern Province is out of control. We need to leave immediately.
02:20Mr. Thornton, my salary and bonus are 10 days overdue. Please pay them on time.
02:25Alice, have you seen the market lately? The company is tight on cash.
02:29As an employee, shouldn't you stand with the company through hard times?
02:32Standing together starts with honoring the contract. I met every teaching target on time. That money is mine.
02:41Actually, if you're willing to come with me to a private party tonight, I can fix the money problem right
02:47away.
02:48Of course. This disgusting man hasn't changed at all.
02:52Mr. Thornton, show some respect. I'm here to teach, not to sell myself.
02:56If you don't want this going to the labor board, pay me now.
03:00Where's that little home, wretcher? Get out here!
03:05I'll tear you apart!
03:07Ma'am, before you swing, maybe get the facts straight.
03:10I have no improper relationship with your husband. He's the one abusing his power to harass me.
03:15Let go!
03:17You're lying! My husband told me everything!
03:20You prance around his office in short skirts every day! Get her! Drag this bitch out!
03:28Alice, it's not too late to beg. You really think you can make waves here?
03:33Honey, stop wasting words on this bitch. Have the guards ruin her face!
03:40Mr. Thornton, you really think no one can touch you?
03:43Touch me? In this city, Mr. Arthur and I go way back.
03:47One phone call from me and you, even that crippled brother of yours, won't be able to stay in town?
03:51Mr. Arthur, I've got a blind fool talking back to me and hurting my people. What do you think?
03:56Who are you?
03:57It's me, Thornton from Thornton Tutoring Center. We met at that party last time.
04:02You dared to touch my person.
04:04Your, your person?
04:06Alice is my wife. Touch her and you touch me. Are you ready for what comes next?
04:12Honey, what's wrong? Who is that?
04:14He really stood up for me. Is this what he meant on the phone?
04:23Stay right there. I'm coming over now.
04:32Arthur? What are you doing here?
04:35I flew back from New York just to see what kind of life you're living.
04:44So this is your so-called polite distance? There are other men in this apartment?
04:48It's not what you think. Listen to me, please.
04:53Alice, I just saw a Rolls Royce downstairs. What kind of death?
04:58Who are you? You can't just break into someone's home.
05:02So this is your so-called roommate. Your taste has seriously gone downhill.
05:06You bastard! I'm gonna mess you up!
05:10Stop!
05:12Jack, he's my husband!
05:21I'm your brother-in-law.
05:32This is where you live.
05:34It doesn't even have decent heat.
05:36It's old, but it's quiet.
05:41Damn these walls!
05:43Keep it down next door!
05:45We're trying to study!
05:47Seems your roommate isn't thrilled I'm here.
05:50He's just a kid. Don't mind him.
05:57We're really going to sleep together?
05:59This is insane.
06:04You're trembling.
06:06Is it because you're afraid of me?
06:11The walls are too thin.
06:13We can't do this.
06:17Then if we don't make a sound, does that make it okay?
06:26Are you getting shy?
06:34Leave the cheap stuff. Only take her personal things.
06:36Arthur, do we really have to move?
06:38It's small here, but we're used to it.
06:40My wife's living conditions can't be this shobby.
06:42This isn't just a place to live.
06:44It's an insult to your dignity.
06:47Sis!
06:48Brother-in-law said we're moving to a detached villa in Avalon Heights?
06:511,200 square meters?
06:53I can finally play bumper cries at home.
06:54All you think about is playing.
06:56Did you finish your test papers?
06:57Oops.
06:58After we move, I'll end like the best tutor.
07:00That's the treatment AQ students should have.
07:04Oh, my God.
07:05This place is way fancier than that deadbeat dad's house.
07:08And the soundproofing, it's heavenly.
07:12Arthur, this is too much.
07:13I'm not sure I deserve all this.
07:15You're my wife.
07:16This is just the basic package.
07:18From today on, every inch of your life is under my care.
07:24Nope.
07:24I have to let that evil stepmother and stepsister Tudor see what a comeback looks like.
07:30How is this possible?
07:31That's the most expensive villa district in the city.
07:34How could that useless Alice afford a place like that?
07:36Mom, look.
07:37That really is an Avalon Heights villa.
07:39Is that old man actually that rich?
07:40I don't care what random man she's laced onto.
07:42A villa like that is not for trash like her.
07:45That useless Alice really did hook herself a rich man.
07:47If I can get Mr. William to close the deal, we'll crush her under our he's.
07:50Mom, that old man is old and ugly.
07:52Are you really going to flatter him for business?
07:54If it brings in money, what is dignity worth?
07:56Once I land this contract, I'll buy an estate even grander than her villa.
08:00Mr. William, it's been so long.
08:03Let's talk about that partnership today.
08:05Talk, you still have the nerve to talk to me.
08:06Your stepdaughter Alice never showed up.
08:08She ran off with someone else.
08:10Mr. William, this is a misunderstanding.
08:11That bitch Alice is young and stupid.
08:14Misunderstanding?
08:14She texted me herself and said she wasn't into this old piece of bacon.
08:17She picked someone else.
08:18You dare bring me that kind of rest to humiliate me, then try to con me out of an investment?
08:21What do you take me for?
08:22Mr. William, please let me explain.
08:24Throw this lying woman out.
08:25I never want to see anyone from the Song family again.
08:29Mom, did the deal go through?
08:30Go through?
08:31That old bastard threw me out.
08:32Alice, that damn little jinx stabbed me in the back.
08:34She's just a fat girl.
08:35Why does she get to live so well?
08:37Relax.
08:37So what if she moved into a mansion?
08:38I'll find out who that man is.
08:39The second I get leverage, I'll make her crawl out of that villa and beg on her knees.
08:45I don't care what it costs.
08:46I want to know who that man is, even if you have to turn this whole city upside down.
08:57Arthur, why did you make all this?
09:00I remember you usually eat pretty light.
09:02I know you prefer bold Mediterranean flavors.
09:05Since this is our home, I wanted to make room for what you like.
09:08He actually remembered one thing I said in passing.
09:11How careful is this man?
09:13Actually, I made beef bourguine for you, too.
09:16I wanted it to taste more familiar for you.
09:19Looks like our tastes have a long adjustment period ahead.
09:24Is it too strong?
09:25If you're not used to it, don't force yourself.
09:27If we don't even try to understand each other's habits, how can we call it living together?
09:31You're always like this.
09:32Even feelings sound like a mission when you talk about it.
09:34When it comes to love, and I'm a beginner.
09:35But for you, I'm willing to learn from zero how to be a good husband.
09:48We have plenty of time to figure each other out until we become what feels most natural to each other.
10:06Jack, there are less than three months until the exam.
10:08You still have five practice papers left.
10:10Don't even think about touching your game for full.
10:11Sis, I've been writing for six straight hours.
10:13My brain is about to explode.
10:15I'm not a robot.
10:16In this family, knowledge is the only thing that can help you stand.
10:18If you can't handle this pressure, how will you protect the people I want to protect?
10:21I know you're doing this for me, but under this kind of pressure, I can't remember anything.
10:25Then keep writing until it's in your muscle memory.
10:34You're too hard on him.
10:36He's still a kid.
10:36I don't have a choice.
10:38Jack is the Song family's only hope.
10:39I can't let him be sacrificed the way I was.
10:41I understand why you're doing it, but learning needs method.
10:43If you crush him, you'll get the opposite of what you want.
10:45I just don't want him taking the wrong road again.
10:48Leave it to me.
10:49I'll find the balance.
10:55Your sister loves you.
10:57She's just clumsy about it.
10:58Don't play peacemaker.
10:59Rich people like you don't understand the pressure of grinding your way through school.
11:02I don't need to understand pressure.
11:03I need to understand rules.
11:05Your study efficiency is low because all your energy is going into resisting, not solving problems.
11:09If you use my logic to break them down, you can finish these five papers in two hours.
11:13This method actually seems kind of interesting.
11:26Alice, that's what you're wearing to the charity gala?
11:28It looks like outdated secondhand trash.
11:31Chloe, a gown's value isn't in the price tag.
11:33It's in the person wearing it.
11:35A gala is about taste, not showing off.
11:38Oops.
11:39So careless of me.
11:41Looks like this dress is completely ruined.
11:45She did that on purpose.
11:47The gala is tomorrow night.
11:48She wants me humiliated.
11:54Tomorrow's charity gala is my way into high society.
11:56If I can't go, everything I've worked for is wasted.
12:01Chloe, you think this is enough to beat me?
12:03I will never bow to you.
12:06I know what happened.
12:07Chloe's tricks are always cheap.
12:09Don't let this break you.
12:12What is this?
12:18This, this is a work of art.
12:26This is a work of art.
12:37How did she get it?
12:38It had to be from that man.
12:40Damn her.
12:40She's trying to steal my spotlight.
12:42Chloe, this is only the beginning.
12:43The real counterattack starts now.
12:55Ready?
12:57Why does she get to enjoy all this?
12:59I'm going to make her fall flat on her face in front of everyone.
13:08Careful.
13:09She's coming.
13:10Don't worry.
13:11I'm ready.
13:15I'm ready.
13:43You dirty little snake.
13:45You tricked me on purpose.
13:46Miss Chloe, everyone here has eyes.
13:48You tried to scheme, failed and paid for it yourself.
13:50Mr. Arthur, you can't twist the truth.
13:51Just this woman will do anything to climb into power.
13:54Lucene, I'm dirty.
13:55Then tell me.
13:55Three years ago at Paris Fashion Week,
13:57who grabbed the backstage staff to cut up my competition sample?
13:59What nonsense are you talking about?
14:01I don't understand.
14:05Should I project the surveillance footage and transfer records
14:08onto the ballroom screen right now?
14:12Adam Charist.
14:13I can't believe that.
14:14Oh my gosh, she really did that.
14:16No!
14:16Turn it off!
14:17Turn it off now!
14:19Lucena, the family reputation you're so proud of
14:21gets destroyed today by your own greed.
14:23Liz Lucene, it seems you no longer belong at this charity gala.
14:25Please leave.
14:26Don't make me call security.
14:28Alice, I won't let you get away with this!
14:31No!
14:31No!
14:32No!
14:33No!
14:34No!
14:34That was just the interest.
14:36Next, I'll make you lose everything.
14:38Well done.
14:44This will help you.
14:50Alice, this isn't over.
14:55It's much quieter out here.
14:58In there, your eyes were so cold.
15:00But I know you didn't really want to be that person.
15:03They deserved it.
15:04But I'm tired, Arthur.
15:06When does this fighting end?
15:08As long as you need me, I'll stand by you
15:10until you take back everything that belongs to you.
15:16Alice, maybe our contract marriage can be more than just a piece of paper.
15:24Arthur, are you confessing to me, or is this just another part of your plan?
15:30If this is a plan, it's the most out-of-control one of my life.
15:33Alice, I can't see you as just a partner anymore.
15:35Why can this man always see right through my mask?
15:42This is real.
15:44It's not an act.
16:07Arthur, that kiss at the Charity Gala, that's the beginning of your fall.
16:13The plan can begin.
16:15I want him to lose every chip before the market opens next week.
16:25Arthur, I heard the core project has a funding gap.
16:28Don't worry.
16:29It's just a little trouble.
16:31Someone is maliciously dumping our stock.
16:33This is happening too perfectly.
16:35Could it be Luke Seal?
16:36This isn't a little trouble, Arthur.
16:38It looks more like a hunt that's been planned for a long time.
16:42Alice, no matter what happens, I won't let you get hurt.
16:52They've pulled out all the partners chose to wait and see.
16:56Tell me, how much time do we have?
16:59Don't be afraid, Alice.
17:01This is only the calm before the storm.
17:11I knew it.
17:12Lucina's money was never clean.
17:16This evidence of illegal money laundering is enough to ruin Lucina completely.
17:27Arthur, stop playing defense.
17:30Look at this.
17:31This is the full chain of Lucille's illegal operations?
17:34Where did you get it?
17:36Business is a battlefield.
17:37If she wants to hunt us, I'll take apart her rifle.
17:42This is a brilliant counterattack, Alice.
17:44You've completely surprised me.
17:47How is that possible?
17:49I clearly locked the original right here.
17:52Arthur?
17:53Do we have a maid around us?
17:54Arthur, you will never be me.
17:57Arthur?
18:00Arthur?
18:18Arthur?
18:19Arthur?
18:20Mr. Arthur, take a look at who I've got.
18:31Jack! Where are you?
18:42Lucille, you vile woman. You used a child as a bargaining chip?
18:50Uncle Arthur, I'm so scared. That bad lady said she'd make me disappear.
18:54Don't be scared, Jack. I'm here. No one is going to hurt you.
19:00What a touching family scene, Arthur. Sadly, I don't have time to watch you act it out.
19:05Arthur, if you want to save the boy, pull all your people out.
19:08Come alone, with every original piece of evidence, to the cliff behind the factory in ten minutes, or get ready
19:14to collect his body.
19:15I'll save you.
19:19You came after all, Arthur. Put the bag down, or Jack disappears for good.
19:26Lucille and I brought the evidence. Let him go.
19:32The game ends now.
19:38Everyone listen. Arthur has drawn their attention. Now cut the factory power according to plan.
19:43Rescue must be complete in three minutes.
19:45Arthur, hold on. This is all I can do.
19:55Jack, wake up.
19:57We're leaving.
19:58We're leaving.
20:00We're leaving.
20:04Don't be afraid, Jack. Close your eyes.
20:13Brother-in-law, you're bleeding.
20:15I'm fine. Go. Now.
20:34Am I in heaven?
20:37If this feels like heaven, then your painkillers are way too strong.
20:41Don't move. The doctor said the bullet scraped the bone.
20:44You need rest.
20:50You hacked the factory system to save me. That's a crime.
20:53Do you know how dangerous that was?
20:55And you walked into a trap alone to save Jack? Was that not dangerous?
21:01I don't want anything to happen to you.
21:03Not just because of the mission, but because...
21:05Because what?
21:07Because in this cold city, you're the only person I want to protect.
21:23The woman from that night had a black mole on her hip.
21:26Right there.
21:30The woman I've been haunted by for a year.
21:33She's been right beside me.
21:45Alice. Come here for a second.
21:49What is it? Does your wound hurt again?
21:53Tell me. One year ago, on that stormy night at the private club, where were you?
21:58What are you talking about? I don't understand.
22:00That night, someone drugged my drink. I spent the night in that suite with a woman. She had a black
22:05mole on her hip, on the left side.
22:07You finally remember?
22:10So it really was you that night.
22:14It was the craziest thing I've ever done.
22:16The woman I searched for all this time.
22:19She's been right beside me.
22:21Quietly protecting me.
22:22I spent this whole year looking for that woman like a madman, never knowing how much you were carrying.
22:27I don't need your guilt, Arthur.
22:29This isn't guilt, Alice.
22:31I finally understand why I could never resist being close to you.
22:34My heart recognized you long before I did.
22:36So, it was you from the very beginning.
22:42Okay.
22:58Everyone, starting today, Klein Group returns to my management.
23:03Are you insane? On what grounds? This asset liquidation report never had my approval.
23:07Lucille, I'm not only liquidating the assets.
23:10I'm pursuing every legal responsibility for the public funds you embezzled over the past three years.
23:15Father's empire must not be destroyed in your hands.
23:27If this will disappears, I still have a chance to turn this around.
23:37Alice, you forced me.
23:39You brought this on yourself.
23:58Lucille, stop!
23:59That's father's only final wish!
24:01Too late!
24:02Once it turns to ash, Klein Group is mine!
24:08I can't let it be destroyed.
24:10That's the only proof.
24:22Move! This place is going to collapse!
24:24No! The will is still inside!
24:25Is that piece of paper worth your life?
24:27Look at me!
24:28Stay alive!
24:29That's the only way you can get revenge!
24:41The will is gone.
24:43What are you going to fight me with now?
24:48Lucille, you think you burned the original?
24:51But I already gave copies to the prosecutor.
24:54Freeze!
24:56He wants to lose your blubber!
25:00You think you won?
25:02The real secret is still hidden in the basement under the family cemetery.
25:11You think locking me in prison means the Klein family is yours?
25:15What's in that cemetery will make you regret this for the rest of your life!
25:20Whatever is buried in that cemetery, the truth is already out.
25:23From today on, you have no right to step into this family again.
25:29It's finally over.
25:31Father, you can rest now.
25:40Every board member has signed the authorization.
25:42You are the rightful person in charge now.
25:45Thank you, Arthur.
25:47Without you, I might have fallen in that fire.
25:51Everything I've done was so you could stand here today and protect what you want to protect.
25:56Alice, when I first came near you, I had a purpose.
26:00But now I want to be the one person you can lean on for the rest of your life.
26:03Will you marry me?
26:09Miss Alice, run.
26:10The cemetery basement has been opened.
26:16Alice, here by the sea, far from all the noise, I just want to ask for that promise again.
26:23Arthur, I will.
26:25Nothing in this world can separate us anymore.
26:29You finally found your true harbor.
26:31Thank you, Jack.
26:32You are our most precious friend.
26:34From now on, this is our home.
26:35Is this the peace I've always wanted?
26:37Feels like a dream.
26:43Arthur, should we go into town and buy some flower seeds?
26:46I want to fill the garden with lavender.
26:47Of course.
26:49Whatever you want, I'll do it with you.
26:56Alice, you think you won because you locked me up?
27:00You have no idea what's hidden in that basement.
27:05Tonight is the night I see daylight again.
27:19Alice, Arthur, you think these walls can hold me?
27:22Your happiness is about to turn into hell.
27:39Don't be afraid, Alice.
27:41Stay in the house.
27:41I'll check the cameras.
27:46Arthur, I keep feeling like someone is watching us from the dark.
27:49It feels like Chloe is back.
27:52It's okay, sweetheart.
27:54I'll protect you.
27:55This place has the tightest security system.
28:03Why do I feel so unsettled?
28:06Like something is about to be taken from me.
28:15The game is only just beginning.
28:26Alice!
28:28Everything you took from me, today I'm taking it back with interest!
28:33Marthory, watch out!
28:43Chloe, your little game ends here.
28:45You thought prison bars couldn't hold you, so you think I have no way to stop you?
28:48Arthur, you think killing me solves anything?
28:51As long as you two stay together, my soul will clean you like a curse!
28:54Lock down the site this time.
28:55Leave no loose ends.
29:05It's okay, sweetheart.
29:06You're safe now.
29:07The look in Chloe's eyes just now.
29:09That wasn't someone with nowhere left to run.
29:11She still has another move.
29:14This wedding was never going to be peaceful.
29:16As long as she's alive, the threat never ends.
29:19No!
29:40Follow me.
29:44This is what you call love?
29:46If you can't handle the trivial work of managing family assets, what gives you the right to stand aside Arthur?
29:52Mother, Alice isn't the family accountant. She doesn't need to do this.
29:55It's all right, Arthur.
29:58You're referring to last year's third quarter losses in the overseas market?
30:01Those were caused by the outdated logistics channels you insisted on using.
30:04With the current efficient supply chain, profits could increase by at least 15%.
30:08Anyone can talk strategy on paper, but the rules of Arthur's family aren't held up by pretty words.
30:13I know several family castles in Europe have restoration funding gaps.
30:16My plan is to apply for subsidies through a cultural heritage foundation,
30:19preserving the sites while giving the family a legal tax advantage.
30:21This girl is sharper than I expected.
30:23I love Arthur, but I want even more to be the partner who fights beside him,
30:27not a burden standing behind him.
30:33Arthur, this time, your judgment is indeed better than your father's was back then.
30:42I won't let you down.
30:45Chloe has escaped, and her destination is right here.
30:58Look, Alice, this is what your sweat earned.
31:00The whole world is watching you.
31:01This is only the beginning, Arthur.
31:03I've proved I can manage the family business and build a business empire of my own.
31:10What's wrong?
31:11Did the press conference wear you out?
31:13Maybe it's the back-to-back trips, plus the pressure of going public.
31:16I'm just a little dizzy.
31:17You did so well.
31:18I've never been this proud of you.
31:19Let's go home now and get you some real rest.
31:30This road has been so hard.
31:33But with him beside me, every bit of it is worth it.
31:42Is this real?
31:44A new life is growing inside me.
31:46Is this the proof of our love, or another test from heaven?
32:02Sweetheart, what's wrong?
32:03Are you feeling sick?
32:09Arthur, we're going to have a baby.
32:11Is this real?
32:11God, that's beautiful news I've ever heard.
32:13I am so nervous and wildly happy.
32:14I know every danger and every scheme is worth facing if it means protecting this child.
32:18The doctor said the first three months are the most important.
32:21Starting today, you're canceling all work.
32:23I'll have the best medical team move in.
32:25Arthur, you're too nervous.
32:27I'm pregnant, not sick.
32:28To me, you and the baby are my whole world.
32:31Imagine it.
32:31Our child could be as smart as you, or as brave as me.
32:34I want our child to have a free soul.
32:36Whatever the future brings, they'll be the best witness.
32:43Sweetheart, to celebrate this miracle, and win a shang to post grand celebration, Jens.
32:48That's a good idea.
32:48It will show the outside world our position is solid.
32:50Exactly.
32:51I want the whole world to know that I, Arthur, don't just have a business empire.
32:54I have the perfect family, too.
32:55A celebration banquet?
32:56I hope everything goes the way he wants, and that anonymous warning doesn't ruin it.
33:03Tonight is not only to celebrate the company's milestone,
33:05it's to welcome the most precious gift of our lives.
33:07This is the continuation of our love, and the future we're building together.
33:16Alice, whatever storms come, I will protect you and our child with my life.
33:20I do, Arthur.
33:21You're my only home.
33:32All those threats and shadows, they're finally fading away.
33:36As long as we're together, no storm can tear us apart.
33:42Alice, what are you thinking about?
33:44I'm thinking about our child's name, and what kind of world we'll build for them.
33:48A world without fear, where they can grow up surrounded by love.
33:51From this moment on, all the power flames and fighting are over.
33:53Our happiness is only just beginning.
33:55A world without fear, that tongues round and forth.
34:01I'm thinking about how to teach.
