00:02you want me to kiss you forget it I will never touch you I had lost count of how
00:08many times he had heard those words God Quinn you're just so pathetic even
00:13after all this you're still pathetically in love with me
00:21what right do you have to cry Quinn you owe me this all of this is your fault
00:31Quinn honey it's mom Rosalie called it's getting cold where she is and she wants a new comforter
00:38Quinn I need you to make her two of them use that super soft fabric you always use and make
00:43sure the stitching is perfect mom I don't have time these next few days I'm in the middle of a
00:50design competition what competition could possibly be more important than your sister
00:54have you lost all sense of priority get them done in the next two days I'll have someone pick them
01:01up understand in the Lane family Rosalia was the saint and I was the parasite three years ago she
01:16left with one sentence for Quinn's happiness I have to leave that sentence shackled me in guilt forever
01:31the old Quinn would have been frantic with guilt dropping everything just to please her but
01:36something inside me has snapped
01:57Quinn what on earth are you talking about a divorce don't you dare even think it I forbid it I
02:03can't live like this anymore
02:04Rosina he doesn't love me Quinn how can you think like that Chase is gentle conservative and successful
02:13marrying him was the best thing that ever happened to you if he doesn't love you have you ever stopped
02:19to think that maybe it's you maybe you're just not trying hard enough it was always the same everyone said
02:25the
02:26same things I finally had a name for it now gaslighting Quinn don't do something stupid even if you don't
02:33care about
02:34yourself think about mom and dad they raised you are you really going to repay their kindness by giving
02:41them a heart attack Elaine and her husband cared more about their public image than anything else they would
02:47never allow a divorce I knew the road ahead would be difficult I have to go I'm busy stop thinking
02:54such
02:55foolish thoughts and don't you dare mention the word divorce again do you understand me
03:10put that on silent don't you dare cause any trouble when we see him dad I have to take this
03:16it's important
03:19what could be more important than meeting mr. Julian stealing hang up and turn it off now
03:34mr. Julian sternling here is our project report for this quarter please have a look
03:48chase yes mr. Julian stingling
03:53i'm hosting a party on my yacht this weekend you should bring your wife
04:02chase how are things with you and quinn i just called her and she said something about wanting a
04:08divorce what she said she wants a divorce
04:17don't get ahead of yourself what happened did you two have a fight no
04:23rosanna you know the person i love is chase you know i've always admired men who are responsible
04:29since you two are married you have a duty to your marriage
04:35i know but
04:37quinn is my sister if you're not her husband then we can't have any kind of relationship
04:41do you understand i understood but i couldn't accept it rosalie if it weren't for her you and
04:49i would be together we're the ones who should be together but you're married to her aren't you
04:54chase if you still care about my feelings at all you will love her properly and spend the rest of
04:59your
04:59life with her promise me will you
05:24quinn's features her proportions and her unique beauty are far superior to rosia's she could outshine any
05:30celebrity without a drop of makeup three years without touching her is a testament to my loyalty
05:35to rosia
05:37quinn
05:42what is it did you call rosalie did you tell her we're getting a divorce
05:48you don't love me what's the point of this marriage
05:52i don't love you you're just figuring that out now you should have never married me in the first place
05:57you're right i regret it you regret it i'm the one who should have regrets if it wasn't for you
06:03i
06:03might have been with rosilia by now
06:08she would have never been with you what did you say don't you dare say that three years of this
06:14marriage had taught me a lot rosila would never marry chase he was beneath her but why did she force
06:19this marriage by asking for a divorce have i inadvertently threatened one of rosila's interests
06:24what could it be
06:30let's not talk about that chase let's get it a divorce
06:35in your dreams
06:38you want a divorce so we get a divorce

06:58you don't even touch me am i supposed to immaculately conceive
07:02see
07:04your true purpose is showing this was never about a divorce this is all just a ploy to get me
07:09into your bed
07:10i'm telling you keep dreaming you're not even worth a fraction of rosila she's the only one for me
07:14i will never touch you so get that idea out of your head i have heard these humiliating words for
07:18three years
07:19i thought i had become immune but they still sting
07:22not because i hold any hope for chase but because i am mourning the person i used to be
07:26the woman who let herself live like this for so long

10:35well well someone's in a good mood today
10:39you can tell
10:40of course we've known each other since we were in diapers
10:44anyway my grandma just got another batch of requests for blind baits with you
10:47you're the most wanted bachelor right now
10:51not interested
10:52i knew it
10:53but you have no idea what those girls say about you behind your back
10:56they all gossip that you look like you would be incredible in bed
10:59practically fantasizing about ripping your pants off to measure you
11:03nonsense
11:04i'm hanging up
11:06wait your new yacht
11:07when are you inviting us to see it
11:10this weekend
11:13bring a few people
11:19in this day and age you can buy any kind of bedding imaginable
11:23but rosalie always insisted that the ones i made were different
11:26and our mother immediately decreed that i must make new ones for every year
11:29i used to think it was sisterly love
11:31but now i see it was just their way of asserting dominance and putting me down
11:34these are the last comforts i will ever make
11:37after this never again
11:43saturday afternoon you're coming with me to a party on a yacht
11:45make sure you look stunning

11:52if this is your little game to get my attention then fine congratulations it worked
11:55happy now
11:56think whatever you want
11:58chase i wasn't joking about the divorce
12:06lucy is always obsessed with these so-called divinely handsome
12:09called divinely handsome idols
12:11but to me this kind of fast food delicous has no soul
12:14if there really is a man in this world who deserves the title of divine looks
12:24oh my god am i crazy
12:26why would i suddenly think of a stranger i've only met once
12:42what a useless jerk
12:44he can't even handle a simpleton like quinn
12:46thank goodness i was smart enough to set things up so he married quinn back then
12:50otherwise i'd be the one stuck with this clingy loser
12:53the man i want is at the very top of the pyramid
12:58julian it took me three whole years just to get him to add me
13:01and for the past six months i have meticulously crafted my perfect persona
13:05he has been getting warmer and warmer to me lately
13:08once i become julian's girlfriend i can return home in glory
13:11and trample everyone who ever stood above me
13:20have a gift prepared for

13:33don't dare embarrass me on the yacht
13:35if you were even half as sensible as rosine i wouldn't have to worry so much
13:42if my father-in-law charles hadn't called me personally and pleaded with me as an elder
13:47i would never have set foot here
13:48once this event is over i am completely done with chase

20:21a party of this size must have medical staff on hand would you like me to find them for you
20:25i can find the medical staff for you
20:27this has nothing to do with you
20:29get lost
20:29are you deaf

20:37i'll wait for you over there
20:40he actually
20:41left me behind
20:43this is the husband i once wanted to protect with all my heart
20:47in front of powely
20:48he doesn't have an ounce of masculine courage
20:51i was really blind
20:53now quinn shall we
20:55don't play hard to get
20:56we are all adults here
20:57some things are better left unsaid
20:59don't you think
20:59if you have something to say mr dixon please say it
21:02the game between adults what else could it be
21:04it's always about one thing
21:06your husband's attitude just now was quite obvious wasn't it
21:09he hasn't handed you over to me
21:10you are lying
21:12no matter how shameless he is he would never do such a thing
21:16don't believe me
21:17i can call him back right now and have him tell you himself
21:21come with me
21:22if you satisfy me tonight you'll get plenty of benefits
21:39mr julian stingling

22:30my wife is after all a member of the sterling family
22:33and tonight is sevens
22:36using julian to threaten me
22:38you think you would go to war with my family for a marginal nobody like you
22:41can you afford the consequences of crossing me
22:43but if you make me happy
22:45your family's business in lake stroyne city will be protected by me from now on
22:49sending my own wife to another man's bed is the ultimate humiliation for a man
22:53but
22:54if i can climb onto the dixon family's good side
22:56our business can reach a whole new level
22:58the benefits are imaginable

31:13Damn it, why isn't the yacht docking?
31:15Where the hell is Gunnar?
31:42Damn it, I want to jump into a frozen lake to cool myself down, otherwise I don't know
31:48what I might do.
31:53It hurts.
32:11It wasn't Chase.
32:15Chewie.
32:16Just hold on.
32:18The words are for her, but it is I who need to hold on.
32:21She is under the influence of a drug, but I am Lucient.
32:24If I take advantage of her now, I'm no better than the predator Matic.
32:28The kiss was already a transgression.
32:30I can't do more.
32:31But my heart will not be still.
32:33She is practically naked in my arms.
32:35I have seen everything and kissed her.
32:38But she is married.
32:39She is another man's wife.
32:43Just hold a little longer.
32:48The yacht must have docked by now.
32:50Where is Gunnar?
32:51What if she gets a cold from the water?
33:01Be quiet.
33:02Be good.
33:05You come in.
33:08Send everyone home.
33:09Tell them I had an emergency.
33:10The party's over.
33:12Don't worry.
33:13It's all taken care of.
33:14But Chase and Maddox, lock them up for now.
33:17I'll deal with them later.
33:21Go see to her.
33:24What do you need?
33:25An IV?
33:26An IV?
33:35Yes.
33:38I'll need her hand.
33:40Turn around.
33:49You can turn back now.
33:51You can turn back now.
33:57Gently.
34:09Well, I've seen it all now.
34:11What happened?
34:13Nothing.
34:14You'll find out soon enough.
34:25The agony of taking off her clothes and drying her body was something Julia never wanted to experience again.
34:42Is what you just said true?
34:46Buying a multi-billion dollar yacht just for a brief encounter.
34:50And the woman is married.
34:51Is Julian extravagantly romantic or just a fool?
34:55Maddox is in agony.
34:57The interruption during his moment of incitement, followed by being thrown against a wall, had terrified him so much that
35:02he had gone completely limp.
35:04It was Chase.
35:13It's broken.
35:14I know it is.
35:15Forget about that.
35:17You should be more worried about how you're going to get out of this mess you've made with Julian's woman.
35:21Isn't she Chase Sterling's wife?
35:23How can she be Julian's woman?
35:25It doesn't matter if she's married or not.
35:27She's under Julian's protection.
35:28Understand?
35:29Stop making excuses and start thinking about how to save your own skin.
35:32Zeke, you know me.
35:34Besides, Chase brought her to me himself.
35:36But was she willing?
35:37If this gets out, it's date rape.
35:39You should be grateful you didn't.
35:40Otherwise, I think he would have killed you.
35:42He wouldn't, would he?
35:43How would he explain that to my father?
35:47You think he's afraid of your father?
35:51Let me tell you something Chase told me.
35:53If I tell you, will you help me?
35:55Let's hear it.
35:57Chase and Quinn have been married for three years, but he's never touched her.
36:04It's true!
36:05Chase said he's in love with someone else, so he won't touch Quinn.
36:08But I bet he has some other problem.
36:10I mean, a woman like Quinn, how could he resist?
36:14Why did Julian have to get involved when I was about to screw Quinn?
36:26How is she?
36:33He just said that Chase hasn't touched Quinn in three years.
36:36Did you know that?
36:38Today had been worth it just to see the cracks in Julian's stoic profile.
36:42There's a project at Dixon Group.
36:44You'll be in charge of it.
36:49Really?
36:50Great!
36:54Send him abroad immediately.
36:56Right.
36:58Abroad?
36:59Why do I have to go abroad?
37:04Why don't you confirm with your father?
37:06Remember to keep your mouth shut about what happened today.
37:09Otherwise, you won't even know what hit you.
37:20Chase doesn't deserve Quinn.
37:22He sent his own wife to another man's bed.
37:24Since he'll soon be out of her life, I don't need to see him.
37:26But I should turn back.
37:28Afraid she'll wake alone and scared.
37:29If she divorces him, she'll be single.
37:31Does that mean I have a chance?
37:32On her birthday, I can finally give her an open gift.
37:37No!
37:38No!
37:41Careful with your hands.
37:43No one had ever hit him in the face in his entire life.
37:46No one would dare.
37:47This was, without a doubt, the most novel experience of his 28 years.
37:51My palm is to hit Julian.
37:53No one in Linhai dares to touch him.
37:55But doesn't he deserve it?
37:56After drinking Chase's wine, I lost consciousness.
37:59The man who violated me was Julian right here.
38:01And he looks at me with that shocked, hurt impression.
38:04What right does he have to feel wronged?
38:06Why did you hit me?
38:08Get out.
38:11I think you've misunderstood something.
38:14Haven't you humiliated me enough?
38:18Be careful with the needle.
38:20One moment.
38:23Watching his back, fear shoots through me.
38:27Chase treated me like a commodity and gave me to Julian, while this man is a wolf in sheep's
38:31clothes.
38:32He knew I was married, yet took advantage.
38:35I don't remember exactly what happened.
38:39But now I'm naked in his bed, and the answer is obvious.
38:44Clothes.
38:45Change into these.
38:47We need to talk.
38:48Get out!
39:05We need to talk.
39:07There's nothing to talk about.
39:08Let me go.
39:09In front of a man this powerful, talk of rights of calling the police was a joke.
39:13It was a cruel reality, but that's how the world worked.
39:16The rich and powerful lived outside the rules.
39:19It wasn't fair, but it was reality.
39:21You seem to have some misunderstanding about last night.
39:30I'm understanding?
39:31You didn't kiss me?
39:33You didn't hold me?
39:35You didn't take off my clothes?
39:40Don't touch me!
39:41Get away!
39:49Why did Quinn just run out of here like that?
39:52Let her go.
39:54Where's Chase?
39:55Still locked up.
39:56I had my men send Maddox back to the Dixon family.
39:59He won't be showing his face in Lakeshore City for the next three years.
40:04Get rid of him.
40:11Your face!
40:13Why is it red?
40:19Don't tell me she hit you!
40:22You saved her!
40:23Shouldn't she be grateful?
40:25Why would she hit you unless this was all a setup between her and her husband?
40:28If you don't have anything nice to say, shut up.
40:33Hey, I'm on your side.
40:35Fine.
40:35When it comes to Quinn, you throw all logic out the window.
40:39But seriously, when did you fall for her?
40:43She's married.
40:44Until she's divorced, you had better keep your mouth shut.
40:47Don't worry.
40:48Who would I tell?
40:50But Maddox said she's a virgin.
40:52So, did you verify?
40:54Goodbye.
40:56What?
40:57Can't take a joke?
40:58Don't joke about her.
41:01All right.
41:02Someone's a bit sensitive.
41:04But if you're so devoted, why would you get slapped?
41:07Get out!
41:21Mr. Croft?
41:23Have you seen Mr. Dixon?
41:32No.
41:34That's strange.
41:36Why did the party end so suddenly?
41:38Did something happen?
41:42Don't ask so many questions.
41:43You should just go.
41:49May God have mercy on you.
42:02Quinn!
42:03What's wrong?
42:04Is something wrong?
42:07Lucy, where are you?
42:09I'm still out of town on a business trip.
42:11Are you crying?
42:14Quinn, what happened?
42:16Talk to me!
42:19Lucy, can I stay at your place tonight?
42:23Of course!
42:24Sure!
42:25You know the code.
42:26Just go.
42:27Why are you even asking?
42:31Okay.
42:31Quinn, what happened?
42:32You have to tell me.
42:36Quinn, you get back, okay?
42:58I had no sex experience with men, but I knew the basics.
43:02If I and Julian had really had sex, wouldn't I feel something there?
43:05Or were the books and novels all wrong?
43:08The first time was supposed to hurt, right?
43:09It wasn't that I couldn't find the time to process what had happened.
43:13The truth was, I was actively refusing to let my mind go there.
43:17Because it was a man so powerful.
43:20What could I possibly do?
43:28I have to get a divorce.
43:36Quinn, you finally decided to answer your phone.
43:39Where the hell have you been?
43:40Chase, let's get a divorce.
43:42Tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock, at the courthouse.
43:51What are you talking about?
43:52Quinn, you were drunk.
43:53I took you to a room to rest.
43:55And then I couldn't find you.
43:56Of course I was worried.
44:00Took me to a room to rest?
44:02Or took me to another man's bed?
44:04What do you mean?
44:04I took you to another man's bed?
44:06What are you talking about?
44:07I would never do something like that.
44:09You know what you did.
44:12You want me to get that man on the phone and have him tell you himself?
44:15Let's talk about this in person.
44:17There's nothing left for us to talk about.
44:18Tomorrow morning, you see me at the courthouse.
44:22Quinn, listen to me.
44:24I was forced.
44:26You admit it?
44:27Quinn, I had no choice.
44:29You know how powerful his family is.
44:32He pressured me.
44:33What could I do?
44:35So you sent your own wife to his bed?
44:38He threatened me.
44:39He said if I didn't, he would ruin us.
44:42Quinn, it was just one night with him.
44:45Otherwise, we would have lost everything.
44:55Let's get a divorce.
44:56You still want a divorce?
44:58I had no choice.
44:59And anyway, even with what happened, I'm not going to hold it against you.
45:02You're not going to hold it against me?
45:04Chase, you are truly despicable.
45:07I was so blind to have ever loved you.
45:10From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine.
45:14Let me think about it.
45:15I'll give you an answer in the morning.
45:19Hanging up led a bitter laugh.
45:21She was a pathetic, tragic fool.
45:23From now on, she would never live like any more.
45:27The account with the J nickname had also liked the post and commented,
45:32A beautiful and kind-hearted angel.
45:34She knew what it was like to suffer.
45:36She had tasted the bitterness of the world at a young age.
45:40Quinn, who should have been an orphan, had stolen the life that was rightfully hers.
45:45She was going to take it all back.
45:47She had heard that Julian was cold and distinct, uninterested in women.
45:51But when they chatted, he was just like any other man.
45:56Once she was Julian's girlfriend, what couldn't she have?
46:05Chase, what is it?
46:07Rosalie, I think I did something wrong, but it wasn't my fault.
46:11What happened?
46:12Have you heard of Maddox Dixon?
46:15He wanted Quinn.
46:16I couldn't afford to offend him.
46:18I had to send Quinn to his room!
46:22How could you do something like that?
46:24So, in the end, you let her she slept with him?
46:27Yes, but it wasn't entirely my fault.
46:30Rosalie, don't be mad.
46:32She's my wife, and I've never touched her.
46:34So what's the difference if another man does?
46:36Doesn't everyone who gets married have sex?
46:38I had no choice.
46:46That's horrible!
46:47Chase, I never thought you were that kind of person!
46:51Rosalie, don't say that.
46:52I had no choice.
46:54What would you have done in my position?
46:56Quinn is your wife.
46:58How could you do that to her?
47:00She's my wife?
47:01But I have no feelings for her.
47:03Rosalie, if you were my wife,
47:05I would die before I let something like that happen!
47:08Quinn is my sister.
47:10How could you do that to her?
47:12How is she now?
47:14She's determined to divorce me.
47:16I should have never married her.
47:18If it wasn't to make you feel at ease...
47:20So now you're blaming me?
47:22No, no, that's not what I meant.
47:25I was the one who offered to help.
47:27I don't blame you.
47:29But, Rosalie,
47:30I want a divorce.
47:33I told you back then
47:34that Quinn was a good person.
47:36Why couldn't you love her?
47:38And if you get a divorce,
47:39what about my parents' reputation?
47:41I...
47:42And I told you,
47:43you married my sister.
47:45And you will always be just my family.
47:47Rosalie, I regret it!
47:49I don't want to be just your family!
47:51Please!
47:52Just give me one chance!
47:54It's impossible between us.
47:55I've only ever seen you as a friend.
47:58Like a brother.
47:59Chase,
48:00you have only one option now.
48:03Go to Quinn,
48:04beg for her forgiveness,
48:05and convince her not to divorce you.
48:07But I want a divorce too.
48:09What good will a divorce do you?
48:11It will affect the company's stock,
48:13and the board will have an opinion.
48:15My parents,
48:16as well as your parents,
48:17will never agree...
48:18This is your fault.
48:19But what's done is done.
48:21You should convince Quinn
48:22that a divorce would only make things worse.
48:24If this gets out,
48:25how will she be able to face the world?
48:27I never liked her in the first place!
48:29And now that she's been with another man,
48:30I can't be with her!
48:31Rosalie,
48:32I'm divorcing her!
48:33Chase,
48:33can't you,
48:34for my sake,
48:34just take care of her for the rest of your life?
48:37Rosalie,
48:37I know I was wrong.
48:38I'll accept any punishment from you.
48:40But I really can't live with her anymore.
48:42I love you.
48:48Chase,
48:48that's enough.
48:49Don't say things like that.
48:51You married my sister.
48:53If you keep this up,
48:55I don't know how I can ever talk to you again.
48:57Rosalie,
48:57don't ignore me.
48:58I'll listen to you.
48:59I'll do whatever you say.
49:01This is all so sudden.
49:02I have to go comfort Quinn first.
49:04I'll talk to you later.
49:10Quinn,
49:11where are you?
49:12How are you?
49:13Are you okay?
49:13Please don't scare me like this.
49:15Chase told you?
49:16Yes,
49:16he told me.
49:17Quinn,
49:17how could you keep something so big from me?
49:19What good would it have done?
49:21It's true that what Chase did was wrong,
49:23and I've already scolded him severely.
49:25But the situation was so urgent back then,
49:28he really had no choice.
49:29He did it to save the bigger picture.
49:32So just because he had no choice,
49:34he can push me into the abyss without any guilt?
49:36Quinn,
49:37what's done is done.
49:39Arguing about whose fault it is won't change anything.
49:42I know you feel wronged and hurt,
49:44but my parents and I will never look down on you for this.
49:48First of all,
49:49this was not my fault
49:50and I will never take the blame
49:51for someone else's despicable acts.
49:53Second,
49:54I am the victim
49:55and Chase is the one who is disgusting.
49:57Why should I look down on myself?
49:59They are the ones who should be deeply ashamed.
50:06Quinn,
50:07you're right.
50:08Of course it's their fault.
50:09But this happened to you,
50:11no matter what.
50:12A woman's reputation is tainted once it gets out.
50:15People won't care about the truth.
50:17Their words will drown you.
50:19Why should I care what those hypocrites think?
50:22If this world condemns the victim instead of the perpetrators,
50:25then it's the world that is sick,
50:27not me.
50:29Quinn,
50:29no matter what you say,
50:30women are always the ones who lose out in these situations.
50:33If you divorce him now,
50:34it will cause a massive scandal.
50:36Our parents are old.
50:37Their health won't be able to handle such a blow.
50:40Rosalie,
50:41if you and our parents really cared about me,
50:42you would be standing together to demand justice for me
50:45and condemn Chase
50:46instead of telling me to swallow this insult.
50:48Do you really care about me?
50:49Of course I care!
50:50I am your sister!
50:52I want you to be happy more than anyone else in this world!
50:54Then support my divorce.
50:56Because leaving that monster is the only way I can ever be happy.
50:59But don't you love Chase?
51:01How can you be happy without him?
51:03Even if I was blind enough to love him before,
51:05after seeing his monstrous nature,
51:07how could I ever love a beast?
51:09Quinn,
51:10you have to consider Chase's position.
51:11He was wrong,
51:12but the Dixon family rules this city.
51:14He couldn't afford to offend them.
51:15If he fought back,
51:16the entire Sterling business would be ruined.
51:18It's like throwing an egg at a rock.
51:20Even if he had shown just a tiny bit of courage to throw that egg,
51:22I wouldn't be this deeply disappointed.
51:24But he didn't.
51:25Without even asking me,
51:26he just sent me to another man's bed.
51:28He is selfish,
51:29cowardly,
51:30and spineless.
51:31How could I ever find happiness
51:32with such a loser?
51:33Quinn,
51:33no marriage is perfect.
51:35There are so many couples
51:35who look great on the outside
51:37but are a mess behind the scene.
51:38Who doesn't make mistakes?
51:39Chase just called me crying,
51:41saying he will treat you twice as well
51:43and spend the rest of his life
51:44making it up to you.
51:50It's impossible.
51:52Don't say another word.
51:53My mind is made up.
51:54Don't you care about mom and dad's feelings?
51:56If this gets out,
51:57how will they face their colleagues at the university?
52:00Do they care about my feelings?
52:02Is their reputation more important
52:03than my entire life's happiness?
52:07Men were competitive by nature.
52:10To make them compete,
52:12you had to give them a reason.
52:16So, what's the deal with you and Quinn?
52:20We're friends.
52:21If you can't talk to me about this,
52:22who can you talk to?
52:23It's not good to keep it all bopped up.
52:26Besides, if you're going to pursue her,
52:27you might need my help.
52:28So, how did you two meet?
52:33She doesn't know me.
52:39It's enough that I know her.
52:41So it's a one-sided crush?
52:42You're in love with her,
52:43but she doesn't know?
52:46If you're this bored,
52:48you can go work on that project with Maddox.
52:53Fine.
52:54I won't ask.
52:55But what are your plans?
52:58Mind your own business.
53:02Don't bother her.
53:05She's your girl.
53:06Would I dare?
53:07But good luck.
53:08I'll be waiting for good news.
53:10Julian.
53:13Mr. Croft.
53:15It's late.
53:16Still not off work?
53:17Doesn't your girlfriend mind?
53:18I don't have a girlfriend.
53:21No wonder you're so dedicated to overtime.
53:26But I will soon.
53:29What's that mean?
53:30You're about to get one?
53:31I like someone,
53:32but I just haven't figured out how to confess.
53:36If you like her,
53:37just go for it.
53:38Don't wait until she's married.
53:39Then it'll be too late.
53:45Even the high and mighty Mr. Croft
53:47isn't immune to giving love advice,
53:48but hearing his encouragement
53:49actually makes me feel a lot better.
53:51I have to take the initiator.
53:52Um, Mr. Croft,
53:53actually,
53:54there's something else.
53:55I was wondering if you could help me
53:56with a small favor.
53:57Go on.
53:58What is it?
53:59The girl I like is studying abroad.
54:00I want to go and confess to her in person,
54:02but my direct supervisor,
54:03she's so strict about work.
54:04It's really hard to get any time off.
54:05Oh, right.
54:06The head of the secretarial department
54:07is a work Hothic in her late 30s,
54:09infamous for being iron-faced and ruthless.
54:10She is indeed a tough nut to crack.
54:12A leave of absence, huh?
54:13Don't worry, I'll get it for you.
54:14I'll go to Julian if I have to.
54:15He's not that unreasonable.
54:16This is about your lifelong happiness.
54:17He'll definitely approve it.
54:18Thank you so much, Mr. Croft.
54:21I barely slept a wink last night.
54:22My mind was a chaotic mess.
54:24The humiliation,
54:24pain,
54:25and sorrow of being physically violated
54:26washed over me like a tidal wave.
54:28Seeing Chase for who he really was
54:29was a bitter pill to Drauk,
54:31but I also felt secretly grateful
54:32that I am still young.
54:33It isn't too late to leave him.
54:34My life is still ahead of her.
54:35As for the monster who assaulted me,
54:37I never would have guessed
54:37that Julian was such a beast in human skin.
54:39The first two times I saw him,
54:40I thought he was cool, noble, and untouchable.
54:42Now, I see him as a hypocritical predator.
54:43I am sure I wasn't his first victim,
54:45and I won't be the last.
54:46He has probably done this
54:47countless times to innocent women.
54:48I sat up in bed,
54:50staring at the ceiling.
54:51Why should I stay silent like a weak victim?
54:52When did I become so cowardly and fragile?
54:54Criminals should be punished by the law.
54:56The more cases I read,
54:57the more my heart sank.
54:58The first and most crucial step
54:59is to call the police
55:00and preserve evidence immediately.
55:02But I have absolutely nothing.
55:03After showering,
55:04there wasn't a single mark left on my body,
55:05and I have no witnesses,
55:07except for Chase.
55:08If I could convince Chase
55:09to testify against Julian,
55:10there might still be a glimmer of hope.
55:11I checked the time
55:12and forced myself to resist the urge
55:14to call him in the middle of the night,
55:16painfully waiting for the dawn.
55:22Let's meet at the cafe.
55:26We need to talk about the divorce.
55:28Roselle's words kept me awake all night.
55:30A divorce right now would be terrible
55:32for the company's reputation.
55:33If Julian found out,
55:34he might come an irresponsible man.
55:36Besides,
55:36I haven't gotten any real benefits from Maddox yet.
55:39I cannot afford to completely break things off
55:40with Quinn just yet.
55:41If Chase refuses to cooperate
55:43and help me expose Julian,
55:44this recording will at least serve
55:46as my only leverage
55:47to prove what a disgusting thing they did.
55:49Whatever happened,
55:49Quinn suffered terribly last night.
55:51She is the real victim here.
55:52I do feel a little guilty about it.
55:56Quinn,
55:58I know I was wrong.
55:59I hope you can forgive me.
56:01I will never forgive you.
56:03You are not even human.
56:05If you were,
56:06you wouldn't do something so monstrous.
56:08Was it my choice?
56:09Am I that kind of person?
56:11If that man hadn't threatened
56:13the survival of my company,
56:15I would have never done it.
56:16Did you want to see me go bankrupt?
56:18Did you want to see
56:19my family's business ruined?
56:21So I deserve to be sent
56:22to another man's bed?
56:23That is rape.
56:24And you, Chase,
56:25you are a disgusting accomplice.
56:27Quinn,
56:28don't make it sound so ugly.
56:30What's done is done.
56:31What do you want me to do now?
56:32If I had any other choice,
56:34I would have never...
56:34I don't want to hear your excuses
56:35after what happened.
56:36I can't live with you anymore.
56:38This time you sent me
56:38to another man's bed for profit.
56:39Who knows if next time
56:40you'll try to kill me for money.
56:41Have it your way.
56:42You want a divorce?
56:43Fine.
56:43You can deal with my parents yourself.
56:45And you will be held
56:46fully responsible
56:46for any financial losses
56:48my company suffers
56:48because of this divorce.
56:49I must have been completely blind
56:51to have loved
56:51such a shameless Coundrel.
56:53He is the one who committed
56:54an unforgivable crime,
56:56yet he speaks as if
56:57I should be grateful to him
56:58for not divorcing me.
56:59Besides,
57:00you know how powerful Julian is.
57:01Since you're already with him,
57:03if you just play your cards right
57:04and stay with him,
57:05your whole life would be set.
57:06Wouldn't that be a good thing?
57:08I'll see you next time.
57:11Bye.
57:11Bye.
