I was cheated. It destroys our family, and leading to your mother's death.

Happy Birthday, Neung. Your life must already be full of happiness.

From today onwards, I wish for you to have even more happiness. I hope you find someone who loves and is sincere to you.

Yes, thank you for what you said.

Not at all. I meant someone who loves you, like the people around you, your family, your siblings, your staff, your colleagues.

So, this is Phong's son?

Hello, Aunt Su.

You remember me?

Of course, I do. Even though I was young back then, I remember everyone in this house.

I don't remember you. If we met outside, I wouldn't recognize you. How are your parents? Are they doing well?

My mother has passed away.

Oh no, Khing has passed away? I had no idea.

Auntie, let's save this conversation for later. It's Neung's birthday today. Let's celebrate first.

That's right, the food I prepared is going to get cold.

Alright then. I'm hungry too.

In that case, everyone, let's head to the dining table. Let's go.

Let's go.

Wow, this is really delicious. The chef here must be top-notch.

It's not those two who cooked it. This one did.

Really? You made this, Nonglek? It's really good.

Thank you.

It's not just your dish. Every single dish on this table was made by Nonglek.

Wow, you're as talented as they say.

Cha, are you hungry? You're not talking at all, just eating.

What's there to talk about? Phumres has stolen the spotlight. Just kidding, Phum.

Don't know what to eat? Here, try this.

What? No thanks, Song, you eat it.

Eat it now, and finish it all. That'll stop you from talking too much.

How's your father? Is he living with you in Bangkok?

No, he's living in the countryside.

How is he? Is he doing well?

He's been battling a chronic illness for many years. He's still fighting.

Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province

If Khing were still alive, we'd be living happily here on the farm. But because of him, he destroyed our family and caused Khing's death.

The thing I regret most is that he died too easily before I could get my revenge. But it's not too late, Khing.

His family will have to take responsibility and pay. Suwann will witness the downfall of his own family.

What are you doing standing here?

Are you looking at my family photo?

It looks so warm'your father and his three daughters.

This was the last picture we took together before my father got sick. He looked so handsome here, smiling brightly, healthy.

It's hard to believe he had terminal cancer.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Let me help you.

Hold on, I’ll grab something from my car.

Let me help you.

No, it's okay.

Is there anything I can help with?

What are you doing in the kitchen, Phum?

I was looking for the bathroom but ended up finding the kitchen.

Should I take you to the bathroom?

No, that's alright. So, you made all of this yourself? Wow, it looks amazing.

In that case, I'll let you be the first to taste it, Phum.

Are you sure? Won't people at the party mind?

I won't tell anyone. I want you to try it first. Here, have a taste.

Alright then... Oops, sorry, it slipped.

It's okay, I'll help you.

Try it.

It's delicious.

What are you two doing here?

Nonglek's pudding is amazing.

Do you really have to eat it here in the kitchen?

I was looking for the bathroom, but I found the kitchen and saw that Nonglek was preparing dessert all by herself, so I decided to help.

Why didn't you have Waan or Ploy help? Why are you doing it alone?

I told them, they'll be here soon.

Nonglek didn't ask me to help, I volunteered.

Well, let's go then. I have something important to discuss with you.

Alright.

Sorry, I was too busy admiring the grandeur of the house. I didn't notice when you stopped walking.

I won't forgive you

until you accept my offer.

What offer?

Rintong's special pudding is ready! Hello, Uncle Chom.

Hello.

Have you eaten yet?

Yes, I have.

Then try the pudding. It's really good and not sweet.

Thank you.

Where's the birthday girl? What's she up to?

Auntie, the special guest isn't here either.

That's true.

I saw Phum outside earlier. I think he was looking for the bathroom.

Really?

Hasn't he come in yet?

No, not yet.

Phum is talking with Neung outside. Neung said she had something important to discuss with him.

Important? About what?

I agree.

Thank you for the second birthday gift you've given me.

What are you two shaking hands over?

Good news!

What is it?

Let's go inside, and you'll hear it along with everyone else.

Where did everyone go?

"Happy birthday song"

On behalf of the entire Vorathip family, I wish our dearest Neung much happiness.

You've worked so hard, holding up this family, always taking care of us.

There hasn't been a single day that we haven't been happy because of you.

You've been like both a father and mother, looking after me and Song. Thank you for everything.

However happy we are, I hope you're ten or a hundred times happier. We love you, Neung.

Thank you. You know I love you both so much too.

I love you, Neung.

I love you too!

Come on, Neung.

Make a wish and blow out the candles. Let's cut the cake. I can't wait to try Nonglek's baking.

Okay.

Hold on.

Since everyone is here, I have some good news.

Phumres is going to join Wannachak Group as my personal advisor.

Thank you, Neung, for letting me be part of Wannachak Group. Thank you so much.

I'm so happy! It's great to see old friends come together again. Now, let's celebrate by cutting the cake.

Okay!

Alright, kids, enjoy the party. I have to go now, it's getting late. Happy birthday, Neung. I wish you lots of happiness.

Thank you, Aunt Su.

I'll walk you out.

Here, take this first. It's the cake for our new advisor.

Thank you very much.

They've only known each other for a few days, and Neung has already hired Phong's son as her personal advisor. What makes her decide so quickly?

I just warned Neung not to trust Phong's son too soon, especially since her father and Phong had legal disputes in the past.

Really? I didn't know. I thought they just had a falling out. I had no idea it went as far as a lawsuit.

The master didn't want the family to know about the feud, so he told me not to mention it to anyone.

But you're the company's lawyer, right? You've already warned Neung, so she should listen to you. Still, it's surprising that she'd dare to hire Phong's son.

Or perhaps you didn't explain things clearly to her?

I just told Neung that her father and Phong had a legal dispute over land.

See, you should've explained it all to her in detail.

So, it wasn't just a simple lawsuit. There must be more to it, right?

Oh, Auntie, it was a big deal'there were even death threats.

Death threats?

Yes!

You're really shameless, aren't you? Refusing to admit you cheated me, you scumbag!

You're the scumbag!

What's going on? What's happening here?

I'm going to expose your true colors so everyone can see what a vile person you are!

See you tomorrow at the company. We still need to discuss the details of the job.

What time should I come in tomorrow? I'm not sure if I'll be busy with work at my office.

Whenever is convenient for you. I'll be at the company from 9 a.m.

Okay, I'll come in then.

Alright.

I'm heading out now.

It's a pity I don't work at the company, so I won't be there tomorrow. But I'll make some delicious snacks for the handsome new advisor.

See you tomorrow. Drive safe.

I'm leaving now.

Alright.

You're being possessive of the new advisor, aren't you?

Nonglek why would you say that?

Look at you, Neung. I was just talking to Phum for a bit, and you already cut me off.

Neung is more protective of you.

Really?

Yes.

I'm glad we met again. No matter how much time passes, we still found each other. Happy Birthday, Phumres.

I want you to reconsider hiring Phong's son as your personal advisor.

Why? Is it because of the past land dispute between my father and Phong?

You know the reasons already, don't you?

Wait a minute. Wasn't my father close friends with Uncle Phong? I vaguely remember them doing business together.

That's exactly why'because they went into business together, it ended in a long legal battle over land.

So, who won the case?

Your father.

So, do you think Phum is here to take revenge for his father?

Yes, I'm genuinely worried about that.

If Phum really wanted revenge, he wouldn't have helped me win the bidding war.

Exactly because he helped you win. He wants you to trust him, so you'll bring him in as your advisor.

I think you're overthinking it. Phum didn't offer himself for the position. I made the decision to hire him.

How necessary is an external advisor when you already have Roitong as your right hand?

I'm the CEO. I can hire whomever I want. Who dares question my authority?

Calm down, Neung. No one is challenging you. Chom is just concerned.

Concerned? Using our fathers' past to judge their children? How is that fair?

If you knew how intense that lawsuit was, you wouldn't be talking like this.

Then tell me how intense it was.

(A knock on the door) Come on in!

Excuse me, Neung.

Did you have an appointment with Phumres?

Has he arrived?

Yes, he's here.

We've discussed the past enough; let's focus on the future. Please prepare the contract document for Phum to sign.

Wow, what's that smell, Nonglek? I can smell it all the way from my house!

I'm making cupcakes for Phumres.

Why go through all that trouble for him?

To welcome him as Neung's personal advisor. I'm sure he'll love it.

You're just like your sister. You barely know him, but you trust him so much already.

It's not like we just met. We've known each other since we were kids. Our fathers were friends.

Friends? You should know that they've been estranged ever since we moved here.

Really?

Yes!

So who told you?

Chom told me last night. He said your father and Phong fought over land ownership, and in the end, your father won. Phong was so bitter he even made threats.

So what? The feud between them was so long ago that Nonglek didn't even know about it.

How could Phumres know anything about it? He's still paying respects to our father's ashes at the temple.

He was even at Neung's birthday party last night. He doesn't seem to hold a grudge against us at all.

He's a real gentleman. It's wrong to be suspicious of him.

Well, I hope he really doesn't know anything.

So, it's agreed. You'll come to the Wannachak Group twice a week.

Or more if you have any important work. Just call me anytime.

Great! I'll have Roitong arrange an office for you.

Certainly!

Chom, are the employment contracts ready?

Yes, here they are. You can sign after reading through them.

Phumres, how's your father?

As well as can be expected. He has a chronic illness, but when he heard about your father's passing, he mentioned you.

What did he say?

He said he hasn't seen you in a long time and wonders how you're doing.

You haven't filled in the salary amount, Phumres.

Give it to me. I'll fill it in for him.

Is this amount suitable for you?

It's more than suitable. Thank you, Neung.

Didn't your father ever criticize me to you?

Criticize about what?

Well, your father didn't like me because I was the lawyer for Suwann, Neung's father,

and Roitong's father during the legal battle over the land ownership that your father ultimately lost.

That was a long time ago. My father doesn't think about it anymore.

Has Uncle Chom resolved his concerns about Phumres's father yet?

No, I haven't.

But that was so long ago. How can you still remember it?

How could I forget, Neung, when Phong once threatened to harm me?

He even swore that if he didn't die first, he'd come back and take revenge on your family.

He threatened revenge?

If Uncle Phong wanted revenge, wouldn't he have done it a long time ago? He should have done it while our father was still alive.

But our father has been gone for years, and Uncle Phong never showed up. And when you mentioned the lawsuit, Phumres didn't seem angry at all.

He even said his father doesn't think about it anymore.

Didn't you hear him?

I heard. Let's hope it's as you say. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next. I'll take my leave now.

Neung, Uncle Chom is a lawyer. He's seen a lot of tricky people. I think we should listen to him.

I am listening, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I respect Uncle Chom, but I don't have to fear him.

He has no right to order me around like Father used to because I'm the CEO of Wannachak Group.

Phumres!

Hello, Nonglek.

How long have you been waiting?

Quite a while now.

How lucky that I drove here myself, or you would've missed out on the delicious treats I made.

Treats?

Here you go. I made them for you, to welcome the brilliant new advisor of my sister.

Thank you very much.

Wow, thank you for going to the trouble of making these for me.

It wasn't any trouble at all. Enjoy!

You made these treats so beautifully, I'm not sure if I dare eat them.

Why not? I'd be heartbroken if you didn't.

Once you give them to him, he'll eat them. There's no need to pressure him.

I'm not pressuring him.

Normally, Nonglek's treats are hard to come by. You have to order in advance. But for you, no need to buy or reserve'she made them especially for you.

That's quite special.

Alright then, I'll eat them all.

That's the spirit, Phum!

I'll head off now. I have a meeting in the afternoon. I'll come back tomorrow.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

I'm leaving now.

Don't forget to eat the treats!

I'm done here, so I'll be going now.

Wait, I need to talk to you.

Next time, don't do anything so showy like this.

What did I do?

Making treats for Phum and bringing them to him personally. Why didn't you ask Aek to pick them up or use a delivery rider? Why make a spectacle out of it?

I didn't trust anyone else, Sister. I was worried they'd ruin the cupcakes, so I decided to bring them myself.

Normally, you never come to the office. When Father was alive, I invited you many times, but you never came.

But now that Phum is at the company for the first day, you show up with treats for him. It's too obvious.

I was just welcoming Phum as your new advisor. I didn't mean anything by it.

Nonglek might not care, but others will. The entire office saw you, and I don't want us to become the subject of gossip again.

What's with you, Sister? Why are you bringing this up again?

Calm down. Don't overthink it.

I'm not overthinking it. Neung is the one overthinking.

Don't point fingers at me. When I give advice out of concern, you should listen instead of arguing.

You need to remember who's the older sibling and who's the younger one.

So, you're always right, and I'm always wrong, is that it?

Nonglek...
