[English]
Stella joined the Chamber of Commerce at eight
At eighteen, on her own
she secured an international partnership
Now, at twenty
she's leading the Chamber to dominate Asia
President
are you sure
you don't want to pass the presidency to her?
Stella has her own ambitions
I don't want to interfere too much with her choices
President
Uncle Walt
I need to go back to Metro City
So suddenly?
My biological father back then
abandoned me on the street
He and his mistress took over the assets my mother left behind
After all this time
it's time to go back
and take back everything
Do you need the Chamber's help?
No need
I can handle those scumbags myself
You should just stay in the old house
and enjoy your retirement
Don't try to stop me
Just let me die!
My sweet girl
don't scare your daddy
Wha-what's gotten into you?
I've been in my sister's place for so long
Now that she's back
how can I possibly face her?
I want to die!
Hey, so what if your sister is back?
You're still this family's most beloved little daughter
What's yours will be yours
The entire Whitaker family is yours
That's right, sister
Why would we ever side with an outsider?
You're my real sister
Right?
Exactly
So what if that girl is back?
The Whitakers will all be yours in the end
Listen to your dad
Don't do anything stupid
But...
Don't worry, sister
If Stella dares to bully you
I'll be the first to fight back for you
Right, right. And your brother will protect you
Don't be afraid
Ah...
Didn't she say not to stop her?
Why are you all acting so foolishly?
The scissors you're holding are too dull
It'll probably hurt a lot when you stab yourself
Why don't you use my sharp little knife?
I guarantee you won't feel a thing
No pain
So my sister really does want me to die
I thought she'd want to be
good sisters with me
Stella!
What on earth did your sister do to you?
It's your first day back and you want to kill her?
Didn't she say she was too ashamed to live?
Is it wrong for me to help her out?
You uncivilized brat!
After all that talk
you're just hoping your sister dies soon
to make way for you
So what if I am?
Let me tell you, even if you're back
you're still just a low-class girl
Don't even think about getting a penny of The Whitakers' money
Hey!
Still need this? If not, I'll put it away
You...
You don't act like a girl at all
Look how scared you made your sister
Put that knife away, now!
Oops, my bad, sister
My hand is tired from holding it up
You won't blame me for losing my grip, will you?
Stella, I know you did that on purpose
You want to kill my sister
How could that be?
If she wants to die, go far away
It's bad luck to die in front of me
What did you say?
Ugh
Watching you all act is so boring
I'm going upstairs to rest
You all carry on
You...
Don't worry, President
You really don't need to send anyone over
The people in The Whitaker family are just a bunch of idiots
I can handle them myself
Sister, are you in your room?
I need to talk to you about something
The idiot has arrived
I'll hang up now
Sister, I know you're short on jewelry right now
but can you please give my hairpin back?
Dad gave it to me
So you're here to frame me
I'm going to make you find that hairpin yourself
Someone actually dares to take your things?
They must not be afraid of bad luck
Let me tell you, Stella
Don't bring your bad habits
from the outside into this house
Give the hairpin back now
Or else I'll...
Or else you'll what? Stage a suicide attempt too?
Sister
as long as you give back the hairpin Dad gave me
I'll do anything you ask
Alright. Then jump from upstairs right now
After you jump and climb back up, I'll give you your hairpin
Go on, jump. Didn't you say
you'd do anything?
Sister
I know
you're used to living in the middle of nowhere
and you've never seen such beautiful jewelry
But you can't use my things
to threaten me
I am threatening you
What are you going to do about it?
You're clearly the one who stole my things
How can you have the nerve to pressure me?
Your things?
Get it straight
I am the true heiress of The Whitakers
Bullshit! What kind of heiress are you?
You're just a bumpkin
who popped out of nowhere
I think
It's your behavior
wanting to hang every brand name
all over yourself
that's even more tacky
What do you know?
It's still better than someone like you who can't afford anything
Much better
Better in what way?
Isn't it because
you know you're useless
so you use these things to prove
your pathetic 'young master' status?
Stella, I've been too nice to you, haven't I?
You're the one at fault
Brother was just
speaking a few truths
Why are you hitting people like a shrew?
This is being a shrew
Then I'll have to show you
what a real shrew looks like
Ahhhhh!
Brother!
What are you all doing?
Stella, get down here!
You wretched thing! I'm not home
and this is how you treat your sister?
Ugh!
I not only treat her this way
I'll treat you this way in the future too
I must have lost my mind
Why did I bring you back?
Dad
don't blame sister. If it wasn't
because I was so anxious to find the hairpin and misspoke
sister wouldn't have been so impulsive
The hairpin I gave you?
Maybe sister liked the hairpin so much
that she secretly took it
It was my fault
I should have offered it to her myself
Luna, stop defending this woman
She stole your hairpin and hit people
She's just an ill-mannered country girl
She's not worth you pleading for her
I never thought
you'd be a thief, too
Do you even act like an older sister?
If I were really a thief
everything in The Whitakers would already be in my hands
Would you still have a chance to show off here?
You country girl
stop putting on airs
Give my precious daughter's hairpin back right now!
Your precious daughter?
All she does all day is cry
That hairpin
is covered in snot and tears
It disgusts me just looking at it
Why would I ever take it?
Sister, I know you don't like me
but Dad gave me that hairpin
I'm begging you, please give it back
Go ask whoever gave it to you
Maybe the company is about to go bankrupt
and Dad sold your hairpin for cash
Absurd!
No matter how tight money is
I would never sell my own daughter's things
What if it was your precious daughter
who was tight on cash
and sold the hairpin?
But too embarrassed to ask you
What would you do?
If Luna wanted to sell it, she could sell it
I wouldn't hold it against
my own daughter, would I?
You hear that?
Dad doesn't even mind
So stop letting me take the blame for you
Sister, what are you talking about?
Why would I ever sell something Dad gave me?
Sister
you need to be honest. I'm already...
The truth is out
Why won't you just admit it?
How can I admit to something I never did?
Cut the act
I know the buyer you found
I was the one who told him to offer you double
Is this true, Luna?
Dad, I didn't
It's my fault
I haven't been giving you enough allowance lately
It's been a little tight
I'll transfer you another 500,000 right away
Dad, I really didn't sell the hairpin you gave me
If you don't believe me, I'll find it for you right now
Look
Didn't you say the hairpin was with me?
I...
I just wanted to use this as an excuse...
to talk to my sister more
I didn't mean to make you all misunderstand her
Mom...
That's right
It's all this girl's fault
Exactly
If it weren't for her
why would Luna have...
thought of doing this just to get her attention?
So this whole thing...
was Luna deliberately framing me
I demand compensation
What do you want?
I want to join the company
On equal footing with Jasper
That's impossible. A company...
can't have two managers
Dad
I suggest you agree
Otherwise, I can't guarantee...
that something bad won't happen to Luna...
in the future
You...
Are you threatening me?
So what if I am?
Stella, what nonsense are you spouting?
Do you think The Whitakers' company is a place a crude brat like you
can just walk into?
If a brainless idiot like you can get in
why can't I?
You...
My brother is the future CEO of the company. A single project
can bring the company
a 20% profit
Sister
you should be humbly asking for his guidance
How much?
Twenty percent?
That's less than you spend in a day
Don't say it out loud and embarrass yourself
Stella!
Enough!
Don't think The Whitakers
Enough trouble because of this girl?
Don't butt in anymore
She's just a wild girl from the countryside
I doubt she can cause any real trouble in the company
Let her learn the hard way
Fine
I'll let you join the company
Dad!
Ugh, just stop talking
I've already made my decision
Brother, don't be mad. You're the general manager
Dealing with a newcomer...
isn't that a piece of cake for you?
Luna, you're right
Whitaker Group is mine
Stella can forget about taking it away
Luna, are you saying
That illegitimate daughter
hit you and your brother on her first day back?
Maybe my sister is just...
not used to us yet since she just got back
She didn't mean any harm
Luna
you're just too nice
That's why you get bullied by that imposter
You're the real heiress
Luna, look at that Stella
She looks like a country bumpkin
She can't compare to you at all
Exactly
Luna, don't worry. Later
when that illegitimate daughter comes to the office
we'll teach her a lesson for you
Right!
This...
I don't think that's a good idea
No personal chats during work hours
Get back to your desks
What gives you the right to order us around?
The fact that I'm the only heiress of The Whitakers
The future head of Whitaker Group
Pfft
You're not even worth one of Luna's fingers
You're just a low-life imposter
Luna has spread many rumors at work
These two...
are really Luna's loyal lapdogs
Little sister, tell me
between the two of us...
who is the real imposter?
Of course it's you! You're an illegitimate daughter!
How dare you come to the company and make the real heiress prove herself?
You're not worthy!
Mia, don't say that
My sister previously...
suffered a lot in the countryside
Let her say what she wants. I don't want
to argue with her
I just hope she can accept me
as her sister
What a classic, manipulative act
Oh, Luna
You're just too nice
This woman...
dared to hit you
and you're still defending her
She told you I hit her?
What?
Afraid to admit what you've done?
What are you doing?
I'm just making the fact that I hit you a reality
Otherwise
wouldn't your loyal minions be so disappointed?
Ah! Ouch!
You two are fired
What right do you have to fire us?
You two...
were late twenty times last month
skipped work for three days
printed the wrong meeting materials five times
and offended ten clients
Anything else to add?
Luna allowed all of that!
Yeah! Ask her if you don't believe us!
Thanks for reporting it
I'll report her actions to the company
Hey, wait!
Escort them out
Yes, Stella
Luna, say something for us, Luna!
Luna, help us! Ahh!
You little cutie
Just you wait
This is an overseas project
If done right, it could profit over a billion
I just got the new proposal
and immediately thought of you
Don't say your big brother never looks out for you
That's right, sister. Brother is so good to you
You better not waste
his good intentions
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Up to no good
So it's a long-term losing project
and is about to be shut down
No wonder you're passing it to me
That wild girl definitely can't read the data
Just wait for her to sink money into it for nothing
Stella
when you make the company lose tens of millions overnight
let's see if you still have the nerve to stay in the company
Alright
I'll take this project
Great!
Just name your price for how much money you need
No matter how much, your brother will fully support you
Really?
Of course
My word is my bond
Okay
Then I want...
five hundred million
How much?
How...
much?
Didn't you say you'd fully support me?
Either give me five hundred million
or I'm not doing this project
Using such a large sum
will definitely alert the old man
If he finds out the project I was managing
has been losing money for years
I'm finished
Sister, you haven't even looked at the project details
To invest so much right away...
what if you lose money?
What then?
That's my business
You just have to provide the money
Do you think Whitaker Group is playing house with you?
What kind of newcomer
asks for five hundred million upfront
Then forget it
You should keep such a great project
for yourselves
Hey!
Don't worry, sister. Tomorrow, we'll transfer the money
to your account
Luna!
Luna!
Why did you just agree?
Where are we going to get five hundred million for her?
Brother, aren't you the general manager?
Just transfer the company's money to her
Easy for you to say
What do I say when Dad asks about it later?
He'll kill me if he finds out the truth
Then just don't let Dad find out
Using company funds without authorization...
is illegal
Brother
after everything our sister has done to you
don't you want to see her
completely humiliated at the company?
But...
Even the experts we hired
couldn't handle that project
My sister will definitely mess it up
When that happens
Dad won't let her off the hook
Fine
We'll do it your way
Of course
We can't just give her all that money for nothing
We need to make her pay the price
Sister
Did you get the money?
I got it. What's up?
It's nothing. It's just that the company's
cleaning lady took half a month off
Before we find a temp
could I ask you to help with the cleaning?
Don't you love wandering around the office?
This job seems perfect for you
Ugh, I'm busy with a project these days
If I really had the time, I wouldn't
be bothering you, sister
With your brains, what project could you be busy with
Sister, how could you say that about me?
Let's be honest. Any project they'd give you
can't be important
Stop pretending to be a business elite
running around all busy
Sister, what do you mean?
You
you can just stay here and focus on the cleaning
I'll go keep an eye on your project for you
If there are any spots you can't get clean
remember to ask the cleaning lady who's on leave
Stella
I'd really like to see
if you'll still be smug when you've lost
the entire five hundred million
That concludes the results of our project
Thank you all for listening
Everyone
Currently, in our company
all projects are profitable
But there is one person
who, in just two short months
has lost the company
a full five hundred million in funds
Who?
Who dared to use five hundred million of the Group's funds behind my back?
That would be my dear sister who came back
from the countryside
Stella
Tell me
what exactly happened?
You say I lost the company five hundred million?
Do you have any proof?
Proof?
It's right here on this USB drive in my hand
I already copied all data from that project
onto this USB drive
Stella
get ready to be utterly humiliated
Oh my god, Stella is a genius!
I know, I've never seen a project that could profit this much
What?
A net profit in two months after takeover?
How is that possible?
Well, originally
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it
But who knew
my dear brother
would actually praise me
in front of so many people
It's actually making me feel quite embarrassed
Stella!
You dare to fake the data?
Is this data fake?
Whether the data is real or not
check the company's accounts
and you'll find out
Mr. Whitaker, I was just looking for you. Our company just
received a payment of two billion
It's the full payment for the project completed by the newcomer, Stella
Stella
Even if you were this confident in the project
you can't use such a large sum of money behind my back
When you do something like that
how does that make me look?
Who said it was me
who used the company's funds without permission?
If not you, then who could it be?
Of course, it was my good-for-nothing
idle brother
Of course, it was my good-for-nothing
idle brother
You're framing me! You have no proof!
The proof? Didn't you already bring it?
What did you say?
Weren't the surveillance cameras in the stairwell broken?
I forgot to tell you
On my first day at the company
I already had all the company's
broken cameras fixed
And
I added twenty more
Stella!
Who gave you the nerve
to tamper with my USB drive?
What, are you the only one allowed to pull tricks behind people's backs?
Everyone!
This video is fake! It's AI-generated!
I never did any of that!
Stella
Even if your brother was prejudiced against you before
you can't use a fake video
to pin all the blame on him
You two really are a loving family
Believing him after just one sentence
Stella
And here I was, treating you like a real sister
Using such despicable means
to slander my name
Still not admitting it? Fine. Then don't blame me
for not saving you any face
What else are you going to do?
Come in
Mr. Jasper, please, save me!
The embezzlement of public funds
you forced me to do it!
You can't just stand by
and watch them take me
to the authorities!
You can't just stand by
and watch them take me to the authorities!
Where did this mad dog come from, barking nonsense?
I don't even know you. Get out!
Just a lowly finance manager
daring to lie and slander my son in front of all these people
Now get lost!
Mr. Whitaker, everything I said is true!
I also have
a recording of me and Mr. Jasper that day
If you don't believe me, listen
Hello?
Get me five hundred million without my dad knowing
But, sir...
Just do as I say! Don't talk back. Believe it or not
I'll fire you right now
I can't believe
Mr. Jasper has to embezzle funds just to get money
I know, right?
Is the Whitaker Group going bankrupt?
I think it's probably because Mr. Whitaker
is stingy with Mr. Jasper's allowance
Mr. Jasper must be doing this
as a form of rebellion
You idiot! Why were you recording?
I told him to
What?
I knew you would do this all along
So
I called him specifically
and told him that when he saw you
he should record everything
Stella!
You set me up!
You set me up first
I was just
forced to fight back
You evil woman!
Enough!
Haven't you caused enough embarrassment for one day?
Dad...
You're coming home with me
I'm going to beat you, you disgraceful son!
Dad!
Dad, stop hitting me! I know I was wrong!
I won't do it again!
You think there'll be a next time?
Ugh!
Ah!
Dad, you're going to kill him!
I'm going to kill this good-for-nothing today! Nobody stop me!
All right, that's enough
If not for Jasper risking that five hundred million
for that girl, how long would it have taken you
to make two billion?
You silly woman
what do you know?
If it weren't for Stella
that country girl having some skills
my five hundred million would've been lost
But it didn't go down the drain, did it?
That means Jasper already predicted this outcome
He just wanted to give you a surprise, right?
Oh, right
That's what my brother told me later
You're his own father
How could he possibly harm you and his own company?
Yes, Mom and Luna are right
Dad
I wanted to give you a surprise all along
But you were so angry
I didn't get a chance to say anything
Don't let it happen again
From now on, report to me before you do anything
Ah, I know, Dad
However
I didn't expect Stella, that country girl
to have such a talent for business
Could I have misjudged her?
Hmph. She's just a country bumpkin
What real skills could she have?
She must have paid someone to do it
Mmm
Uh, right. And she definitely used company money
You need to get someone to keep a close eye on her
I'll have someone check her financial records right now
None of them give me any peace of mind
Hehehe
Brother
Sis got you beaten up like this by Dad
And she's just living it up at the company
This is so unfair
Exactly
How did she get away with it scot-free?
I'm gonna find someone to teach her a good lesson
Stella
You got lucky this time. We're not done yet
Did my brother send you?
It's none of your business who sent us
Boys, get her!
Behind you!
Whoa
What a badass
Thanks
That shout of yours was really helpful
Don't mention it
Why did they attack you?
Because their boss got beaten up
So they wanted me to bleed a little, too
You have beef with their boss?
Mmm
I guess you could say that
You'd better be careful when you go out from now on
You should bring a few bodyguards
No need
Those guys are all for show
I can handle them myself
If this were ancient times
you would definitely be a female general
I think so too. Hey
where's my purse?
Nice purse
You're very beautiful, too
Thanks
So...
can I get your number?
Okay
It was nice meeting you today
See you around
It was great meeting you, too
See you around
I'm sure we will
The Vosses...
The Vosses wish to propose a marriage with the Whitakers
This is the list of betrothal gifts. Please take a look
A marriage?
Yes
Hahaha
I heard that the Vosses' only son, Silas
is disabled, paralyzed from the waist down
You can't agree to this
I know
Well, you see, it's so late...
Thank you for making the trip
Well then
we won't disturb you and your family's rest
The engagement details
someone will contact you in the next few days
Okay, okay. Please, see yourself out
Goodbye
Gavin
What do you mean by this?
Do you hate Luna that much?
Oh, come on
Do you think I want my own daughter
to marry a cripple?
But you offended the Vosses
What about our family business?
Business, business, business
That's all you have in your head
You don't care at all
about us, your family
The Vosses are the richest family. They pretty much
have a monopoly on all profitable businesses
Can you bear the consequences of refusing this marriage?
I don't care
If you want to marry him, you do it
I can't bear to let my precious daughter
spend her life with that disabled man
What are you saying
You are so shortsighted
If I really let you take over the Whitaker Group
it would go under in two days
Hey, Mom, Dad, stop arguing
In our family
I'm not the only daughter
There's still my sister, right?
Oh, right, right. Besides, the Vosses
didn't say who to marry
Let's just marry off that jinx
It's killing two birds with one stone
A jinx and a disabled man
A perfect match
Gavin, what do you think?
Dad
with Sis's temper, she'll have a hard time getting married anyway
You arranged such a good marriage for her
She should be grateful to you
Fine
This matter
is settled
Hey...
You think you can decide my marriage for me?
Stella? How did you
come back unharmed?
How could one woman
possibly escape from a few strong men?
Did that unreliable bunch fail to find her?
The way you're looking at me...
it's like you've seen a ghost
Don't tell me... you hired those people?
What people?
Huh?
Nothing
She must have been through something out there
She started talking nonsense the moment she got back
Sis...
Hey, don't touch me. Get away. You're filthy
Sister, we were just discussing
your marriage
Too bad you came back late
Otherwise, meet the Vosses' butler
who came to propose
The Vosses?
The richest family, the Vosses?
Yes, that's them
My new company is just starting out
I really need the money right now
This marriage came at the perfect time
Sister
you don't know anyone from their family
Pfft
She's just a country bumpkin
How could she possibly know the richest family?
I bet
she can't even afford the internet fee
to read the news, hahaha
Brother, don't bring up
Sister's painful past. You'll make her sad
Such a pair
always mocking people like dogs
Sister
don't take his words to heart
Now that you're back with the Whitakers
you won't have to live that hard life in the countryside anymore
Don't worry
When a dog talks to me
I automatically tune it out
Who are you calling a dog
Whoever takes it personally
Stella!
Alright, that's enough fighting
That's right, brother. Sister is about
to get married, so you shouldn't
bicker with her anymore
Stella
This marriage is settled
Whether you agree or not
the engagement party in a few days
will proceed as planned
In such a hurry?
I bet that young master of the Vosses
is either an idiot or hideous
Otherwise, such a great chance
would never fall into my lap
Sister, that's the richest family
People are dying for a connection with them
Well, if this marriage is so great
then I'll let you have it
Sister, you're older than me. Good things
should go to you first, of course
As your younger sister
I could never compete with you
It's okay. I'm letting you
Even if you allow it
I wouldn't do it
That's a line I won't cross as your sister
I already gave you a chance
Since you didn't take it
from now on
you better stay far away from the Vosses, you hear?
I understand, Sister
From the sound of it
you seem quite satisfied with this marriage
Of course. The richest family... who wouldn't want to marry into it?
I'll take this
As for the rest
you guys can split it
Hey beautiful
A new Western restaurant just opened nearby
Let's go try it tomorrow
Perfect. I could use some peace and quiet
Sure
Send me the restaurant location
See you tomorrow
Isn't that the betrothal gift the butler
sent to the Whitakers a few days ago?
Why is it around her neck?
Is it pretty?
Do you like it?
It's beautiful
Who gave it to you?
My future husband
You're already engaged?
Damn it
Which bastard moved so fast?
I didn't even get a chance to make my move
What's wrong?
It's nothing
Let's order first
What are you having?
The same as you
Waiter
Two deluxe steak combos, please. Thanks
Of course, miss. Please wait a moment
What's really wrong with you? When I first got here
you seemed just fine
So... how does your future husband treat you?
Is he as handsome as me?
I've never met him
But he's probably hideous
What? That hideous guy?
What gives him the right?
Oh, sorry. Hey
Why are you so worked up?
I... I just feel bad for you
You're so beautiful
How could you marry such an ugly guy?
It's worth it
He's the richest man's only son. He's loaded
So she's the one...
From The Whitakers
the eldest daughter they just brought home
I was originally engaged to her
What are you laughing about?
Nothing. I just remembered some...
happy things. Hmm
Why is this person sad one minute...
and happy the next?
Is something wrong with his head?
You're acting weird
Luna
That person looks like your sister
She just got engaged and is already dating a handsome guy?
Stella, you've got some nerve!
I can't believe your sister is such a...
fickle person
Maybe she got engaged to that disabled guy...
just to support this handsome guy
Don't say that
My sister isn't like that
There must be some misunderstanding
Luna, you're just too kind
That's why people take advantage of you
Now that we finally got something on her...
of course, we have to get back at her
But she's my sister!
She's just a tramp who seduces men!
Does someone like that deserve to be your sister?
Ella
Luna, listen to me
Take pictures of them
Let The Vosses see what kind of daughter-in-law they're getting
What a shameless person she is
Okay, fine
But I can't send it to The Vosses
What if they cancel the engagement
Then how will I get to laugh at Stella?
Did you send it?
Good, as long as it's sent
The Vosses are the wealthiest and they care about their reputation the most
They'll definitely make sure your sister...
in Metro City...
won't be able to show her face
Let's go
Stella, this time...
you brought it on yourself
so don't blame me for what happens
Stella!
Get home right now!
I already paid for it
You can eat here slowly
What's wrong with you?
Nothing
I'm just going back...
to straighten out a few psychos
and put them in their place
Oh, what's up?
Did someone die in The Whitakers family
Watch your mouth!
You shameless wild girl!
Who was that man you were eating with today?
What "wild man"?
I ate out by myself
Still lying!
If your sister hadn't seen you at the Western restaurant
I wouldn't have known
you're keeping a man on the side!
I knew it
So it was you, this innocent little flower...
who pulled this stunt!
Sister, I'm sorry
I just wanted Dad to agree
to you being with the man you're keeping
I didn't know he'd get so angry
So my dear sister, you just framed me with the charge...
of keeping a man
Stella, don't be ungrateful!
Your sister is defending you
How can you blame her
You're mad at her now?
Dad, don't yell at sister. Please
It's all my fault
I shouldn't have...
taken pictures of sister and that man and sent them to you
If you want to scold someone, scold me
At a time like this! You're still defending her?
This concerns The Whitakers' reputation
If The Vosses find out...
our Whitakers will be finished!
Then just don't let The Vosses know
You're still talking back! You...
I'll kill you today!
You shameless little tramp, I'm telling you!
Dad, don't be impulsive. Sister...
has to attend the engagement banquet in a few days
It would look bad if The Vosses saw her injuries
it wouldn't be good
She dared to do something
that hurts The Whitakers' reputation
If I don't give her a beating...
I'd be shaming our ancestors!
Since you're saying I'm harming The Whitakers' reputation...
fine, if you put it that way...
then I don't mind...
ruining it even more
Hey, what are you doing?
Of course, I'm going out to sleep with some random guy!
I'll kill you today!
You shameless little tramp, I...
Sister, how could you lay hands on Dad?
You two just don't listen to reason!
So if I don't get physical
how will you learn your lesson?
You're rebelling against me!
You're the one who needs to learn a lesson!
Well, I've always been wild since I was little
I like to do the opposite of what people tell me
The more you tell me not to find handsome guys
the more I'll go find them!
You're shameless!
That's right. I'm shameless, so...
today, either I go out and find handsome guys...
or she gets on her knees and apologizes to me
You choose
Are you crazy? She's your sister! She...
That's exactly why
she's my sister!
I wouldn't make anyone else do this
Stella, don't make me use family punishment!
Family punishment can wait
Don't you love protecting me?
So, kneel!
Stella, there's a limit to your madness!
You made the mistake, how can you make Luna kneel?
Because I'm shameless!
You!
Dad, don't be angry. Sister...
don't make Dad any angrier. I'll kneel
Can't I just kneel?
Don't kneel to her!
But, Dad...
"But, but" what?
If you're going to kneel, do it now. Don't waste my time
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at your big sacrifice
to keep up your image, little sister
Do you really think I care about your apology?
You're deliberately humiliating me!
Yeah, isn't it obvious?
You!
Don't get mad. Getting mad...
doesn't suit your innocent image
Stella, you little darling
I'll make sure you're utterly disgraced at the engagement banquet
What do you think
What will Stella's expression be like...
when she sees her future husband
being pushed out in a wheelchair?
What will her expression be?
Definitely disgusted!
Her eyes will pop out of her head!
That Stella, she thought she could...
marry up to a rich family
Who knew she'd marry a lowlife? She'll probably...
regret it terribly then
Shh, keep your voices down. If others hear you...
it'll be very embarrassing
Luna's right. Many ears, loose lips
You should know what to say and what not to say
Oh, I know, I know!
You're so fussy!
What do you think The Whitakers are thinking?
They're willing to marry off their daughter
to a disabled man
For money, of course
I heard the dowry The Vosses sent...
added up to...
tens of billions!
That much?
It's not just for the money, though
The one The Whitakers are marrying off...
the wild girl they took back in...
is probably an ugly monster
So, by your logic...
the two main people at this wedding banquet...
are a perfect match, huh?
Hahaha
Oh, of course! They're a perfect match
A disabled man should be with an ugly monster! Hahaha
My goodness, whose young lady is that?
She's so beautiful!
Metro City has such a stunning beauty?
Why have I never seen her before?
Sister, I thought...
brother-in-law would be with you
together
So she's The Whitakers' legitimate daughter, back from the countryside
Stella
Luna
Isn't that obvious?
The Vosses' eldest young master is disabled
He'll probably be pushed in his wheelchair tomorrow
What a pretty mouth
It would be even better if it said nicer things
Don't let it happen again
To everyone who came to my engagement party today
you are all welcome
But if I hear anyone else
speaking ill of my future husband
don't blame me for what happens next
The Whitakers' young lady is so magnanimous. I'm impressed
Yeah, I didn't expect her to be so protective of her husband
Man, such a great person
wasted on that cripple from the Voss family
Someone
Show them out
What are you trying to do?
I mean what I say
Everyone, please continue
Once the Vosses' young master arrives
our engagement party
will officially begin
Stella, you're finished
Everyone, look!
Stella
cheating on the young master of the Voss family with some other guy!
Let's see how you, a cheating woman
can keep pretending to be a saint
I can't believe this Luna
to slander me
would even tarnish the Whitaker family's reputation
Interesting
This Stella is so wild in private
I was almost fooled by her
I know, right?
This Stella seems so upright on the surface
She's already with another guy
hooking up
Luna, this...
Did you play this video?
How could I do something that would so damage
the Whitaker family's reputation?
That's right, Uncle Whitaker
Luna is completely devoted to the Whitaker family
How could she do something like this?
Then why is the angle of this video
Same as the one you gave me
the other day?
Dad, how can you accuse me like this?
There were a lot of people across from the restaurant that day
I wasn't the only one there
Maybe...
Stella has given up on herself
and released the video
Her goal?
To make the Voss and Whitaker families call off the engagement
No wonder that woman showed no remorse
that day. So she was prepared
to burn all bridges with the Whitaker family
Gavin
You hit your own daughter in public, right before
she's about to be married
Aren't you afraid of what people will say about you?
How dare you, Stella! You dare to raise a hand against Dad?
What? One more word out of you and I'll hit you too
You...
You woman, keeping a boy toy on the side is one thing
but to show a video of you cheating
at your own engagement party?
Have you no shame?
Use your brain and think, you idiot
A video like this
only your precious daughter would have it
It's obvious who released it
Luna is your sister
How could she try to harm you?
You're her father
You're not above ruining the Whitaker family's reputation either
Sister, I just happened to see you
with your secret lover
But how can you slander me like this?
Why are you taking your anger out on Luna?
Apologize to Luna!
You want me to apologize to her? Aren't you afraid
Of lightning strike?
Ha! You bitch
How dare you curse my daughter!
What? You're not happy unless I'm cursing you?
What did you say?
I'll beat you today
you foul-mouthed little brat!
Hey, hey, hey!
For the sake of your engagement party today
I'll spare you some dignity
Hurry up, call that damn man and get him over here
Sorry, can't do that
We can't offend the Voss family
Hurry and call that secret lover of yours
Have him kneel before the Voss heir
and apologize to him personally
Maybe then he'll forgive you
Who did you want me to kneel to?
Isn't that William, the richest man in Metro City?
And the one walking in front of him is?
The sole heir of the Voss family, Silas
Hey
why does Mr. Silas look so much like the guy in the video?
Could it be that Mr. Silas is the man in the video
the one meeting Stella in secret?
How is that possible?
The Voss family's young master
is clearly a paraplegic cripple
How could he be so tall and handsome?
Good
I'm not too late
So you're the legendary
young master of the Voss family I'm engaged to?
Sorry for keeping it from you
I just wanted
to give you a surprise
What surprise?
This is more like a scare
You all were right
I am the "secret lover" you were talking about
The sole heir of the Voss family
Silas
You... you're the one who was on a date
with Stella?
Yes
Does Mr. Whitaker have a problem with that?
No problem, no problem at all
It's an honor for the Whitaker family
Mr. Silas likes Stella
How could I have a problem with it?
Yes, sister is so lucky
To be able to marry such an
outstanding man like you
Please keep your distance, Miss Whitaker
I'm not interested in an ugly hag like you
Mr. Silas, actually
the one originally engaged to you was Luna
It was her, that bitch right there
She stole this marriage from her
Don't look at me. Marry whoever you want
I'm not the type to break up a happy couple
Marry whoever I want?
What else?
It's not like I have a say in this matter
You said it. No take-backs
You're being tricky
If I'm not tricky, how could I marry
a wonderful wife like you?
All of this should have been mine
That bitch Stella, what right does she have?
Mr. Silas, she's just
an ill-mannered little brat
Don't let her
sweet talk fool you
Guards
Take this woman who insults publicly
the young mistress of the Voss family
and throw her out of the ballroom
Mr. Voss, she's just a brainless
old hag
Please don't lower yourself to her level
You decide how to handle this
Then...
I want you
to come over and slap her
Then for today
we'll consider this matter closed
What are you saying, you little brat?
I'm your elder!
One more word, one more slap
That's two slaps now
Stella, you...
Three slaps
Slap me, not my mom
I was waiting for you to say that
What do you mean?
Don't worry, this time
it's for real
Stella
don't go too far
Not calling me 'sister' anymore? Hurry up
If you don't do it
no one is leaving today
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, Luna
My grandpa waits for food in hospital
Oh, my god
You dare hit me?
I... I'm sorry, Luna. I was forced to
Oh, ouch!
I never thought
the usually gentle Miss Luna
could be so vicious
I know
You really can't judge a book by its cover
Stop them! Hey!
Stop hitting me!
Oh my!
Haha, this is my favorite kind of show
a dog-eat-dog fight
Yes, it really is interesting
Mm
You're taking advantage of me again
This engagement party was ruined
Later I'll plan one for you
even grander, just the way you like it
What do you think?
Whatever
We don't really have to. It's just a formality anyway
That won't do
To be my wife, the pageantry...
has to be the most lavish in all of Metro City
Whatever you want. It's not my money
Just you wait
Then
I'll definitely give you
the most extravagant engagement party in the world
Childish
Alright, now...
let's get down to business
What?
Though the party was ruined
at least
I'm officially your fiancé now
But...
Oh, right
Why do they say you're a cripple?
Can I answer after we kiss?
No
Fine
It was to avoid marriage
I said it casually
They all took it seriously
And it even made the headlines
So
Just because of something you said casually
you've been seen as a cripple for all these years?
Yeah, I didn't expect that either
Didn't you lose out big time then?
No, I came out ahead. After that
no one ever came to force me into an arranged marriage again
And
And what?
And...
fate let me meet you
That is my...
greatest fortune
Smooth talker
The questions are answered, so shall we...
continue?
Uh...
Um, I'm suddenly a little tired
I'm just gonna go home and rest
Hey...
You...
Silas
Stella
You just wait
I will take back everything
that belongs to me
I'm going out of town for a few days on business
Want to come with me?
I'll go with you next time
I can't get away from work right now
There's an important project
that's in its final stages
I don't want anything to go wrong at this critical point
Alright
Well, get some rest. I'm hanging up now
Hey, don't hang up yet
Huh? What's wrong? Is there
a problem on your end?
Okay, you can hang up now
Hey...
Wifey
Mm-hmm
I love you
I love you too
Mm-hmm
Come in
Mr. Voss, the hotel we originally booked
has a problem with the room
For now, we can only
switch to the one next door
which is a bit less nice
Is that alright with you?
Yes
Okay, Mr. Voss
He agreed
Good. The money has been transferred
Let's not contact each other again
I've already lit aphrodisiac incense in the room
I got a spare key card from the front desk
In five minutes, I'll open the door and go in
I don't believe you'll be able to resist
Ah!
I'm so sorry
I didn't expect a guest at the corner
Are you okay?
What bad luck. If I...
weren't in a good mood today
I'd have your boss fire you
Now, get lost
Mr. Silas
Ah!
Mr. Silas, don't be in such a hurry
What Mr. Silas?
Come on, beautiful
The night is young and precious
Who are you? Why are you in this room?
This has always been my room
Little beauty
Impossible. Mr. Silas
I know you're in there
Make him let go of me!
You dressed so sexily...
wasn't it to seduce me?
Stop pretending to be innocent
Let go of me! Ah!
Let go of me!
I was right, wasn't I?
The sudden room change... someone must be behind this
That's my wife for you
So...
thoughtful
Okay, make the call
Mr. Whitaker
Where are you?
Why aren't you here yet?
I'm not going to go in
Otherwise, if they see me
it'll be so awkward
Mr. Silas
We got your call three hours ago
and immediately bought tickets to fly over
Is there an emergency?
Oh, no emergency
I just wanted to invite Mr. Whitaker to watch a good show
Oh?
After you
Luna!
Dad, Mom, Brother!
I can't go on living!
Aah!
Oh my!
My darling daughter!
Mom!
What is going on?
Mom!
You dare bully my sister? You must have a death wish
Please, spare me!
I was sleeping peacefully in this room
This woman opened the door herself
and came in to seduce me
You're lying! This is clearly
Mr. Silas's room. You snuck in
which is bad enough
but you even did this to me...
You deserve to die!
You still dare to lie? I bet you
thought Mr. Silas wasn't here and snuck in
with ill intentions
Ah, I'm not lying! This room
is really mine. If you don't believe me
ask him!
Ah
That's right. This is indeed his room
My room is next door
My room is next door
But I clearly saw you enter this room
I couldn't have been mistaken
I just came to borrow a lighter
But you on the other hand
Miss Whitaker
how were you so sure
this was my room?
Hmm?
Luna, tell Dad the truth
Today
did you come here specifically to find Mr. Silas?
I...
I just wanted to come to the room to discuss business with Mr. Silas
Who knew that when I opened the door...
Is the young master of The Vosses so easy to meet?
You fool!
You're the fool! We can't let all the benefits
go to that Stella person
Is it wrong for Luna to fight for herself?
I'm just anxious, okay? Look at this...
We didn't get anything, and she lost her reputation in the process
Who would dare to marry her now?
Our Luna is a daughter of The Whitakers
They'd be tripping over themselves to curry favor with us
Who would dare not to marry her?
Mom, Dad
stop arguing
It's all my fault
I shouldn't have ruined The Whitakers' business
Oh, my darling daughter
You're breaking my heart
Jasper, take this scoundrel who bullied my daughter
and drag him out of here
Find someone to break his legs
Okay
I'll make him wish he was never born
I'll never do it again! Please, let me go!
Let's go
If, because of this incident
our partnership with The Vosses is affected
then the Whitaker Group will suffer a huge loss
Don't worry, Mr. Whitaker
Seeing as you married Stella to me
we'll just let this matter go
From now on, The Vosses and The Whitakers
will continue cooperating
Oh, this is just wonderful!
Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Silas
This was all Stella's idea
If you want to thank someone, thank her
Oh, you truly are my good daughter
I knew raising you wasn't in vain
Haha
I'll let you be smug for a little while longer
Soon, the Whitaker Group will be back in
my hands
What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming
Oh? And how did you know I said I wasn't coming?
You don't need to know how I knew
You came here just to laugh at me
didn't you?
I did
And isn't it pretty funny?
You bitch, stop acting so high and mighty
If you weren't clinging to Mr. Silas
would Luna have to resort to this to get a chance?
A chance for a partnership?
Using such a dirty trick
How pathetic for an outsider to fight for a partnership
You bitch! Say that again!
Bitch! Say that again!
Since Mrs. Clara is being rude
then starting tomorrow, the Whitaker Group
will disappear from Metro City
Damn it! You're more trouble than you're worth
You stupid old hag
Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Silas!
Not to me
Apologize to Stella
You want me to apologize to this bitch?
In your dreams
Ugh!
Apologize now!
Gavin!
How dare you hit me!
I'm telling you, Clara
if the Whitaker Group is gone
we'll all be starving
Just apologize already!
I won't apologize
Who the hell is Stella anyway?
She doesn't deserve my apology
No, no
Mr. Silas, please... she's just a stupid old woman
Don't stoop to her level
Gavin!
Just shut your mouth!
Hey, Stella
Dad will apologize to you on her behalf
Just ask Mr. Silas to...
go easy on the Whitakers
I want her to apologize
But...
Oh, come on!
Mom!
I'm telling you, today
you either apologize to Stella
or you pack and leave the Whitaker family
You choose
I'm sorry
I shouldn't have cursed at you
Please spare the Whitakers
I don't accept your apology
What did you say?
I said
I don't accept your apology
Didn't you say...
if she apologized to you
you'd ask Mr. Silas to spare the Whitakers?
Why are you going back on your word?
Did I say that?
Did you hear that?
No
She never said she would spare them
Hey, Stella, what are you trying to do?
Starting today, all companies in Metro City
will cut ties with the Whitakers
Dad
just wait for bankruptcy
Let's go
Hey, no! Hey, Mr. Silas! Hey!
Stella, you ungrateful daughter!
I should have strangled you at birth!
We must, before the bidding starts
meet the CEO of Glow Tech Group
That's the only way we can get a head start
Our Whitaker Group ranks among Metro City's top firms
As a new company
they'll definitely be willing to work with us
Ugh
If my sister hadn't made those big companies
cut ties with us
would we be reduced to ambushing people like this?
Don't call her your sister
Let's just pretend the Whitakers never raised this...
ungrateful traitor
Once we win
our Whitaker family will be able to thrive
By then, we'll make that little bitch
kneel and apologize to us
I'll make her taste
what it's like to be humiliated
If, as you say
the Whitakers can only thrive by winning the bid
then it's never going to happen in your lifetime
Stella, what do you mean?
I mean
the Whitaker Group
will never win the bid
It will always be trampled underfoot by others
Sister, how can you say that?
You're a Whitaker, after all
The Whitaker Group winning the bid should be an honor for you too
An honor?
First
I am not a Whitaker
Second
the Whitaker Group was mine to begin with
Now it's time to give it back to me
Stella!
You've got a lot of nerve
I worked my ass off to build the Whitaker Group
to what it is today
What the hell does it have to do with you?
The Whitaker Group
was founded through my mother's hard work
You freeloader
what does it have to do with you?
What was your mother's is mine, is the Whitakers'
Got it?
Gavin, oh, Gavin
I've never seen anyone
so shameless about mooching off a woman
Should I give you an award for it?
You!
Aren't you just a
bitch who slept her way to the top?
Isn't the bitch who slept her way to the top you?
Why do you speak of my mom like that?
Because you're like your mother
Both of you are bitches who seduce other people's husbands
Don't you dare make false accusations!
I think you're the one with no morals
so
You think everyone else is a bitch
Is that so?
That video from the hotel room
the one with the aphrodisiac incense
should I put it on the public screen for everyone to see?
You recorded it?
And that's not all
Don't tell me you still think you just remembered
the wrong room number
It was you
You set me up
It's too late to realize that now
Stella, you bitch! Give me back my reputation!
Don't cause a scene at the bidding site
Yeah, Luna. Once we win the bid
we'll have plenty of chances to get revenge on her
As the CEO of Glow Tech, I'm telling you clearly:
The Whitaker Group will never win the bid
CEO of Glow Tech Group? You?
I think you're still daydreaming
Glow Tech Group's monthly profits
are in the tens of billions
You're just
a daughter without Whitaker protection
is nothing
Stop pretending to be a big boss here
You jinx, stay away from us
Don't get in our way of talking business with the CEO of Glow Tech
The bidding results for the Group
are out
Should I announce them now?
You're really the CEO
of Glow Tech?
How is that possible?
Don't think we'll believe you
just because you hired an actor
I don't care if you believe me or not
Guards!
Before the bidding results are announced, get the Whitakers
out of here
On what grounds? We're here to attend
the bidding as guests
Because our CEO dislikes you
Now get lost. Enough of your crap
Wait
Wait
I have a way
to help the Whitaker Group
out of its predicament
Do you want to hear it?
You?
What way?
Sell the Whitaker Group to me
I'm in a good mood, so I might even pay you more
The Whitaker Group is my life
Don't even think about it
That's fine
I can wait until
the Whitaker Group goes completely bankrupt
and then buy it for cheap
You're the ones who should be worried
Oh, for heaven's sake
We can barely survive as it is
Why are you so attached to that failing company?
Exactly, Dad
If she's willing to pay top dollar, just sell it to her
Luna hasn't worn anything new in two months
I... I'll sell
Fine
But the price...
will be thirty percent lower than what I just quoted
You...
That's just ruthless
I'm already being generous with you
If it were anyone else
I probably wouldn't even give them a chance to change their mind
But you...
to me...
you feel no family ties at all
I don't
I came back
only to take back my mother's company
I have no feelings for you or the Whitakers
Mr. Whitaker
Pleasure doing business with you
Mom
I've finally avenged you myself
You must be so happy now
Honey, get in
Well, my driver's right on time
What kind of reward do you want?
Any reward I want?
Yes, whatever you want
I'll give it to you
Wait, this sounds like you're my sugar mama
You don't like that?
Then I'll find another boy to spoil
Hey, I want to! I want to!
How could I not?
What's wrong? Are you angry?
You don't love me at all
You only love my money
Yeah. You just realized?
You...
Hmph
Okay, okay
Silas
I love you
And that's the truth
