Original subtitles

It's not for you.

Forget about it. You made this mess up.

Now get your proof.

Don't you ignore me. Forget about it.

Got you running in circles and rounds. Get your

cars off my door, chicken.

I've told you many times, Sebastian.

Between us, no love, no sex.

You just need to do your job, be an obedient plaything.

Otherwise, get out.

I don't believe it.

Mistress, I don't believe you can resist this kind of temptation.

I know you want me.

Lily's medicine is running out again, and I can't put off paying the medical

bills any longer.

I need to take on more jobs.

You're quite early.

Follow me.

I'm here to deliver... Don't keep Miss Thornthorn waiting. Let's go.

I don't know why they asked me, a delivery driver, to bring it right into

the house myself, but I guess rich people all have their rid of quirks.

I just dropped off the order and hurried on my way.

Go on in. Miss Thorne is waiting for you inside.

So, you are the new girl.

What? I will absolutely not let anyone steal everything.

Where did this cheap trash come from?

Get the hell out of here if you know what's good for you. Stop being an

eyesore.

You've been very naughty, Sebastian.

Very interesting.

I'm really just here to deliver a pizza.

Playing the delivery girl?

Such a cheap uniform fantasy is so boring.

Mistress won't like a scrawny girl like you.

Noisy. Get out.

No! Mistress, please don't send me away!

Arthur?

Like a little white rabbit stumbling into a wolf pack.

How tempting.

God, she's so gorgeous.

And she smells so good, too.

You've got the wrong person! You're crazy!

The wrong person?

No. I think I found exactly the right one.

You were out on one delivery for three hours yesterday, and you didn't answer

your phone. Do you have any idea that customer complaints are blowing up my

phone? I'm so sorry, boss. There was an accident yesterday.

Please don't fire me. I still haven't scraped together my sister's medical

expenses. I'm begging you.

Who is Chloe Reed?

That bastard Jason ran off.

He owes our boss 30 grand, and your name is down as the guarantor. You have to

cough up the money today.

Jason and I broke up a month ago.

I had no idea he borrowed money, and I'm under no obligation to pay his debt.

I don't care.

If we can't find him, this debt is on you.

Hey, hey, I already fired this girl. Her personal business has nothing to do with

my restaurant. Take it outside.

Take a closer look. You're actually pretty, since you can't come up with the

money.

Maybe there are other ways that can help you pay off your debt.

Get away from me.

Get your filthy hands off her.

Oliver?

It's just money. Take your dirty pass and get the hell out of here.

You got lucky.

I remember you're pretty desperate for money too. If you change your mind and

need more cash, come find us anytime. Get lost!

She doesn't need your dirty money.

Oliver, you didn't have to pay

them off for me.

I already owe you so much.

Nonsense. How could I just stand by and watch those scumbags bully you?

That Jason is a total piece of trash.

No, that was 30 grand.

I'll definitely find a way to work and pay you back.

Stop, stop, stop.

Since you're so stubborn, let me ask you.

Would you do anything to make money?

Oliver, did you rob a bank recently?

How are you suddenly so rich?

Honey, robbing a bank doesn't pay out this fast.

It's like a high-end dating app, full of ultra-rich people.

They use it to find young, beautiful companion.

No way!

This is... Where is your mind going? We're not hookers. It's just a

companionship based on mutual emotional value.

Do you really not have to have sex with them?

I'm still a virgin.

Of course, some people are willing to trade their bodies for more, but it's

entirely voluntary.

If your bottom line is no, no one can force you. The app has strict contract

protections. But I have to remind you of the most important rule.

Absolutely do not fall in love with your sugar daddy or mommy.

By the way, this app is very LGBT friendly.

Look at me.

I'm dating a sugar daddy right now and everything in this room was bought with

his card.

If you're afraid of getting hurt by men right now, you can select female.

Trust me, a lot of highly successful women in positions of power love your

little white rabbit type.

Okay.

Perfect. Go on, change into the battle armor I just bought.

Gorgeous. Hold still. Look at the camera. Give me a dreamier look.

OMG!

Someone just sent you a private invitation.

Oh my god, Chloe.

This person is the number one spender on the entire app, and their reputation is

flawless. They strictly honor the contract, never cross the line, and most

importantly, they pay incredibly well.

Chloe Reed.

Like I said, I found the right person.

Arthur, get the car ready. Go pick up my girl.

Miss Reed, please follow me.

Strange, this decor.

I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

The mistress requests that you must be blindfolded before entering this room.

Please.

Hello?

This scent, so familiar.

You're very nervous, little rabbit.

May I help you take off your coat?

Okay.

Tell me, how many people have you accompanied like this before me?

None.

You're the first.

Then why did you come here?

Because I need money. A lot of money.

You're very honest.

I like honest girls.

It's you?

What? Are you guys?

It seems the Shurja is in's herself.

This is the contract.

Sign it. And from now on, you only accompany me.

Exclusive.

Why? Why did you choose me?

There's so many people willing to be able to do this.

Because you're different from the others.

The fear, ambition, and your eyes interwere beautifully.

That day, the man kneeling on the floor in this room, was he also your

companion? Yes.

Then why did you choose a girl this time?

Because those men, including him,

never

seemed to know their place.

They always want to cross the line, want to have sex with me, and even hyper the

delusion of getting my love.

You mean you're not paying someone for that?

No.

That's why you're unique, Chloe.

You don't hide those disgusting little thoughts, nor will you try to seduce me

to get something unrealistic.

You're clean.

I just want money to pay for my sister's medical bills.

Good. Keep that purity.

As long as you're a good, obedient girl, I'll satisfy all your desires for money.

Turn to page three.

This... What do these absolute obedience and BDSM clauses mean?

What exactly do you want me to do?

I'll show you.

This is BTM, Chloe.

Pain and pleasure.

It's not too late to regret it.

Walk out that door and pretend none of this ever happened.

As long as you pay me enough, I'm willing to do it.

Good girl.

You'll never need to worry about money.

Open it.

This is just a welcome gift for a company today.

Later on, as long as you can satisfy me, you can get far more than this.

She really is so rich.

Now look at that one.

This is a gift for you. I have a very important business launch tomorrow.

I hope to see you attend wearing this lingerie underneath the gown.

That cold-blooded woman actually kicked me out for a pizza delivery girl. Can

you believe it? I served her with all my heart. Forget it, Sab. It's not like you

don't know Evelyn's temper. She's just looking for something fresh.

Once she's tired of that delivery girl, she'll definitely call you back next

week.

No.

Why should that penniless noti replace me?

What the hell is she?

Oh. Isn't this the lowly delivery girl from yesterday?

This is a globally limited Givenchy haute couture. A broke student like you,

who can't even afford your sister's medical expense.

You couldn't afford a scrap of this fabric even if you sold yourself.

This has nothing to do with you.

It's a gift from someone.

Oh? Who would give you such an expensive gift?

Don't tell me you finally accepted reality, sold your body and hooked up

with some bald rich old man? Shut up!

You're practically dirtying this dress just by wearing it! Take it off!

Stop!

Touch my girl again and I will break every bone in your body.

This haute couture and deer are expensive, but somebody sends a juror to

ask for Chan.

Who on earth is this girl? She actually got Evelyn Thoughts to step in and

protect her personally?

Allow me to formally introduce her to you all.

This is Chloe, my current and only companion.

Mistress, why?

She's just a cheap delivery girl. What right does she have to replace me? How

am I any less than her? You're too noisy, Sebastian, and...

You're too dirty.

How dare you touch someone you shouldn't lose.

Please, let me come back to you. I can do anything.

I can be better, more obedient than her. Please don't abandon me.

I never recycle the trash I throw away.

I have a new companion by my side now.

It's her.

Did she just acknowledge me in front of everyone?

Bitch. Just you wait.

I will never let this go.

It's too loud here. Come with me.

I was so scared just a moment ago.

Why does holding her hand give me this heart-racing feeling?

Isn't she just my employer?

Does it hurt?

No.

Liar.

Why is she so cold and ruthless to everyone else, but so gentle with me?

Just now in front of all those people, I said you were my companion.

And you actually didn't deny it.

I just... just didn't want to embarrass you in that kind of situation.

Is that so?

Well, there's no one else here now.

Are you still going to run?

Mrs. Thorne, the host is waiting for you to go on stage and give your speech.

Rules shouldn't be broken.

I have to head back first.

Stay close to me.

Don't let yourself out of my sight again to get bullied.

She's so far above me.

We're from completely different worlds.

But why, of all people, did she choose me?

Chloe, Chloe, now that you've hooked up with such a wealthy woman, your value

has gone way up.

You'd be the perfect way to settle my debt. Who knows?

Maybe I could even sell you for a fourth.

Hurry up. Drag her out. Don't draw any attention.

Mrs. Thorne, bad news.

Miss Reed is missing.

We just pulled the hallway security footage, and it shows her being drugged

and taken away by three men.

Lock onto the car that took her immediately.

Notify everyone.

Even if you have to turn this city upside down, you will bring her back in

one piece.

Save your breath, my dear ex-girlfriend.

You're my cash cow now.

What exactly do you want?

What do I want? To use you to pay off my debt, of course.

Once I sell you tonight to those bosses out there who like fresh meat, not only

will my debt be wiped clean, but I'll also make a fortune.

Bosses, tonight's finale will absolutely get your blood pumping.

Behave yourself and don't ruin this for me.

Someone, please save me.

Everyone.

500,000. This boss bids 500,000. Do I hear a higher bid?

500,000 going once.

500,000 going twice.

Just now, which hand did you use to touch her?

I didn't know she was your girl.

Please, spare me.

I'll never do it again.

I'll ask one last time.

Which hand?

Ah! My hand!

Open your eyes wide and remember this.

Chloe Reed belongs to me, Evelyn Thorne.

From now on, if anyone dares to lay a single finger on her, this hand will be

your fate.

Gather all the evidence of this illegal auction, along with the background dips

of everyone present.

Yes, Miss Thorne.

And hand it all over to the police.

Don't miss a single one.

Don't look.

Since you are my exclusives of property as long as I'm here. No one can ever

touch you

You

suffered

a lot of shock and trauma tonight Since I am your master.

I will use the memories of us together next to overwrite all those filthy

images in your head

Do you know why I'm blindfolding you?

Because when you can't see anything, your body's senses become much clearer.

In here, you don't need to think. You don't need to be afraid.

You just need to obey me.

Don't be nervous, little rabbit.

I said, between us, no love, no sex.

But I never said, I couldn't make your heart race.

No, I can't let this go on.

If this continues, will I really fall for her completely?

That's enough for today.

The best shows are best enjoyed slowly.

If you really fall for this, you'll never be able to escape Chloe.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

No one has ever dared to throw me away like trash in public.

It's all because of that delivery woman who showed up out of nowhere.

The

enemy

of my enemy is my friend.

How interesting.

Jason, you're free to go.

Someone posted your bail.

What?

Who?

Did you bail me out? Who do you work for? Someone wants to see you. Follow

me.

You bailed me out?

What do you want from me?

What do I want?

Let's talk about what we've both lost instead.

That woman named Chloe Reed not only stole the position that was rightfully

mine, but she also ruined your cash flow, and even had her ruin this hand of

yours. That bitch and the woman who shot me, I swear I'll make them wish they

were dead! Excellent. You hate them for destroying you, and I hate Evelyn for

abandoning me. Since we share a common goal, let's team up.

Together, we'll drag that high and mighty woman off her pedestal and stomp

that bitch Chloe.

right into the mud.

It's true that you can't get into Evelyn Thorne's world, but I know it well.

And you should know that Delivery Girl's weak spot much better than I do, right?

People like Chloe act all high and mighty, but the thing she can't let go

of the most is her sickly little sister.

Her sister has congenital heart disease.

The medical fields alone are a bottomless hole every month. Perfect.

Then we'll strike at the thing she cares about most.

This girl is

really making me want to keep her by my side forever.

Sleep well?

Thank you.

I slept very well.

Take this.

Your sister's future medical bills and all your household expenses can be

ducted straight from here. You won't have to worry about money anymore.

No, this is too much. The money specified in our con contract is already

enough to cover this tuition and medical fields. I can't take any more of your

money.

Listen, when I give you something, you take it.

I want to text my sister to tell her I'm safe.

is home alone. She absolutely cannot be triggered.

And she can't stop her medication.

My sister is home alone.

Those people are still there. She can't get agitated. I have to go back right

now.

Arthur, get the car ready immediately.

When they took her, they didn't take her medicine. Chloe, I just saw from my

window that two men took your sister away. I remember it was a black SUV.

Don't panic. She's still in the city. I'll handle it.

Mobilize all security personnel.

Check all surveillance in this block from the past half hour and lock onto

the route of a black SUV.

I want its location in ten minutes.

You brat, don't play dead with me.

Damn it.

She was struggling so hard just now.

If she dies in our car, we won't have any leverage to force Evelyn to

compromise. This is crazy.

I'm only in it for the money. I never wanted to kill anyone.

I'm abandoning the car and making a run for it. You clean up this mess yourself.

Don't you dare leave. We're changing the plan.

We'll dump her at the abandoned factory up ahead and split up to get the money.

Billy, please be okay.

Hold on, Chloe.

We'll catch up to them very soon.

She'll be fine, I promise.

Mrs. Thorne, thankfully she was brought in just in time, and the patient is now

out of danger.

If she had been brought in even five minutes later, the consequences would

have been unthinkable.

Miss Thorne, our people apprehended the man named Jason on the spot, awaiting

your orders. But that Sebastian was very cunning. He managed to escape during the

chaos at the rescue earlier.

Find him.

Kidnapping is such a despicable, violent tactic.

It was a dead-end move to begin with. I just used that idiot Jason to test the

waters.

Boss it's me the thing that can truly destroy Evelyn Thorne is definitely not

violence. It's the thing she taboos and tolerates the least Betrayal I'll

arrange a good show I'll let the whole world see clearly how her current

favorite companion viciously stabbed her in the back

You're too dirty today. I don't like my belongs to look this pathetic.

If it wasn't for you today, I might have lost Lily forever.

I really don't know how to repay you.

Repay me?

Others can covet.

But if anyone dares to dirty my prey, or steal my prey...

I, Evelyn Thorne, will absolutely not allow it. I can't tell if I'm sad or

happy right now, but I know I don't want to hide anymore.

Remember your tears, your weaknesses, your everything?

From now on, they all belong solely to me.

Because you are my exclusive property.

So this is what it feels like to completely fall for someone.

Even if she says I'm just her property in this moment, I'm willing.

Exactly. Don't overthink it. She's just an exclusive plaything.

A companion bought with money, nothing more.

Lily, you scared me to death.

But it's all okay now.

We'll never have to live those days of being chased for debts and living

constant fear ever again.

Sister, I'm sorry I dragged you down again.

Silly, just focus on resting and getting better.

Everything at home and the medical bills, I've already taken care of it

all.

No bad guys will ever bully us again.

Sister, you've lost so much weight. You must be working so hard.

It's okay.

As long as you're getting better, that's all that matters.

Sister, this lady is so pretty.

Is she your friend?

Uh, she is.

I... We are...

Yes,

I am your sister's... friend.

Your name is Lily, right?

You don't have to worry about anything anymore.

Here, there will be many people protecting you, including your sister.

And I will protect her as well.

Thank you, pretty lady.

You're so nice.

She clearly said it was just a contract between us, just pray and master.

But the way she stoked my sister just now, why was she so gentle?

How could I make such a meaningless promise to a plaything?

Nina, my baby.

Do you know how much I want to take you far away to leave this damn place?

Seb, I'm willing to go with you.

I'll do anything for you.

Do me a little favor, okay?

This is just some sedative powder.

Evelyn's been under too much stress lately. I just want her to get a good

night's sleep. It's no big deal. Once this is done, I'll take you away from

here and give you the life you've always wanted.

Is this really just a sedative?

If the Master finds out...

Do you not even trust me anymore, Nina?

No, I trust you. I'll do it.

Remember, the powder has to go in the red wine she usually drinks. And you

must find a way so that this glass of wine is personally handed to Evelyn by

that woman named Chloe.

Miss Chloe.

You're heading up to the second floor, right?

Yes, what is it? This glass of red wine is prepared for the mistress.

She wanted a little drink tonight. Could you help bring it to her?

After all, right now she likes things handed to her personally by you the

most.

Okay, leave it to me.

Evelyn, your wine.

Did you pour this wine?

I just brought this up from the kitchen. What's wrong?

Chloe, what exactly are you trying to make me drink? I don't know what you're

talking about. I didn't... I didn't pour this wine.

I trusted you so much, and you dare to betray me?

It's Evelyn Thornt.

People as high and mighty as you are the most paranoid in their bones, and the

thing they trust the least is so-called feelings.

Even if you like that delivery girl, it's just one thorn that will tear her

apart with your own hands and drive her out of your world.

Shut up.

A liar full of deceit has no right to talk to me about trust.

Evelyn! What's wrong with you?

Don't touch me.

Get away.

Sarah, finally pale.

You're sick. You can't keep going.

I'll help you to bed to rest.

No, your temperature is too high. I need to call Arthur. I need to get a doctor.

Don't let anyone in.

Okay.

I won't call. I won't leave. I'll stay right here with you.

If she really betrayed me, really wanted to harm me, I'm at my weakest right now.

She could easily watch me suffer or just take everything I have, but she didn't.

She stayed by my side the whole time. You're finally awake!

How do you must have been drugged last night? But that glass of wine, I

absolutely ill now. Is anything still her do it? I swear!

Please believe me, okay?

To think that I was shaken by the sincerity of a little girl.

I know, I'm a little thirsty.

Okay, I'll go get you some water.

Since it wasn't her, it seemed some other rat snuck into this villa.

Daring to drug me.

They're courting death.

Did you find out?

How many hands exactly did that bottle of wine pass over?

Nina has been frequently using encrypted frequencies to communicate late at night

over the past week, and her overseas account received a massive wire pamper

from an unknown source split into two payments.

She's just a vain idiot. She wouldn't have the guts to do this herself.

Should I have her apprehended and interrogated right now?

No.

Startling the snake in the grass is no fun.

Play the long game.

I want to follow this rat to fish out the real mastermind behind her.

Evelyn, about last night, I want to explain it to you again. I really

didn't... She watched over me all night. If I get in closer to her, I'm afraid I

really weigh from belief. You don't need to worry about this anymore. Go back to

your room and stay there.

Mia?

Seb, when are you finally taking me away?

Word's sudden through the villa today that the mistress was just slightly on

that night, and they all you with her who drug her and are coming to handle

Sybilet. She must already have eye on me!

She's not very busy. Once a day we will hear you stop calling me. You lied to

me! You said as long as I put the powder in the wine, you'd take me away!

Look at these.

Do you have anything else to say?

Tris, I was wrong. I was tricked by Sebastian.

He said it was just a sedative. He said he would take me far away and give me

the life I wanted. No idea he was using me to frame Miss Chloe. Please spare me.

So, so all of this was Sebastian's conspiracy?

If Evelyn had actually fallen for his trap that night and kicked me out...

Where is he now?

And where is his promise to you?

A man who would use everyone as a stepping stone for himself. Only a fool

like you would believe him.

Take her away.

Handle it according to the rules.

That night, I wronged you.

You didn't do anything wrong to me. I was too stupid to realize something was

off with Nina earlier, causing you to drink that wine and almost putting you

in danger.

Evelyn, that day in the hospital room, you told my sister that there would be

many people here to protect me.

Was that sentence true?

No.

Once you admit it, you've completely lost, Evelyn.

I said, you are my property.

Protecting one's own belongings from being stolen or broken by others is

perfectly justified.

This has absolutely nothing to do with so-called sincerity.

Do you understand?

She's always doing the coldest words or doing the gentlest things.

This girl is little by little becoming the one and only flaw outside of my

control. Maya's voice. No, Sebastian is nothing more than a ruined pet I kept.

Where would he get the financial backing and the guts to hire kidnappers, bribe

Nina, and even repeatedly escape from right under my nose after the fact?

Someone behind him must be giving him money, giving him intel, and backing him

up. Mrs. Thorne, you're right. Following that overseas wire transfer Nina

received, we dug up a B330 money trail. After filtering through multiple money

laundering accounts, the ultimate source points to one name.

Victor Sterling. Victor Sterling. The old fox who was defeated by my father in

business for a goat, crushed under the thigh of the Thorne family, who'd been

lurking like a viper waiting to take revenge's years.

So that's it.

Sebastian was just to blunts my life and watch the Thorne family's empire else

entirely off.

Evelyn, it's been a long time. You're even more ruthlessly sharp than your

father was back in the day. Victor, your methods are just as underhanded as they

were back then. I admit, I back those two useless trashes, but Evelyn, you

should be.

If it weren't for them, how would you have discovered that you, a woman who

has always been cold-blooded and ruthless without a single weakness,

would actually break so many rules for a cheap little flaw? I'm very curious,

Evelyn. How much of the Thorne family's empire are you willing to trade for her

safety? Victor, you really are getting old.

So old that you can't beat me in business, and you resort to threatening

your opponents with women.

Want to touch my person?

Weigh yourself first, and see if you have enough lives for me to play with.

He's right.

Chloe has already become my fatal weakness.

Wong, did something happen?

Don't speak.

Tonight, just listen to me.

Remember,

you are mine.

Her voice was trembling just now.

Holding you this tightly, is she afraid of losing me?

I'm yours.

I'm not going anywhere.

Of course

you're not going anywhere.

Because our contract hasn't expired yet.

Get Team 1 and Team 2 ready, have them so stick her to the hospital and lock

down the entire ward floor 24-7. Yes, Miss Thorne.

Evelyn, wait.

Could you not have them follow me? No. That old dog Victor is backed into a

corner right now. He could bite at any moment. It's too dangerous for you to go

out alone.

Lily is already timid, and her heart doesn't doing well.

If she's seen some adoy men in hay surrounding like a tit wall, she'll

cunningly be care-eyed and think I've gotten into some dangerous trouble

again.

Call them off.

Mrs. Thorne, this... Did you not hear me?

Thank you, Evelyn. I'll just take the subway and be back really soon.

Run.

Why aren't you running anymore?

Have someone follow her from a distance. Absolutely do not let her notice. If she

lost a single hair on her head, none of you need to come back. Understood.

Do you have any idea that just now you almost... She's trembling.

She's truly terrified of losing me.

I'm sorry.

I promise I won't make you worry ever again.

I've exposed too much.

In the face of her safety, I don't even have the strength to keep lying and

pretending.

While all the Victor Gontzes in Telfer-Zunheim, along the Ogama's Vezok

pieces, send it anonymously to Julia Mady Lunch Investigation Unit.

Evelyn! You are truly ruthless!

Do you think ruining me financially and sending me to prison will keep that

little girl safe? As long as you still treat her like a treasure, she will

always be a blade hanging over your head. I may have fallen today, but

someone else will set their sights on her tomorrow. You won't be able to

protect her.

Then you are gravely mistaken, Victor.

She has never been my weakness.

She is my bottom line.

Whoever dares to touch her, I will make sure they don't even get the chance to

regret coming into this world. You are the perfect example.

You said, I am your bottom line. What did that sentence actually mean?

Exactly what it means.

I do not allow others to touch my private property, nothing more.

But that day at the alleyway, when you were holding Tring me and having your

territory invaded, you were afraid.

Evelyn, you were afraid of losing me, weren't you?

So what if I was?

if this is the answer you want.

But I truly cannot bear to lose you.

The heir to the Thorne family went viral on the dark web.

Wealthy Arab imprisons and abuses poor female students. Is this three-minute

video violence real or fake?

Evelyn Tharker herself is currently refusing to step forward and respond.

Evelyn, look at this fine scandal you've stirred up. The group's stock price

dropped seven points right at the opening bell.

That multinational MRE deal we're supposed to sign next week is also

facing default.

Have the PR department issue a statement immediately to make a full-stage cut.

Label that girl named Chloe as an extortionist with ulterior motives who

came out of nowhere trying to lash onto you.

Write her a check big enough to shut her mouth and throw her out of this city

tonight. Our Thorne family absolutely cannot ruin a century of reputation.

over a lowly plaything.

Mrs. Thorne, the family is putting a lot of pressure on us. For your sake and the

group's interest, the fastest and cleanest solution is to de-descend Miss

Chloe away.

Could what they're saying actually be the truth?

In Evelyn's eyes, am I someone she wants to protect, or just a thing that should

be immediately disposed?

The fastest and cleanest solution is indeed to send Miss Chloe away.

She's not defeating, so in the end...

Who need to need be hesitating the one I pointedly uncut dot still?

There's no need to issue that severance statement tear up the hush money check

to I'll handle this matter myself If anyone dares to mention send her away

one more time, I'll skin them alive myself.

I Have to tell her not to be afraid I'm not cutting ties no matter how high the

price is I can bear it

You don't have to feel conflicted. Last night outside the studio door, I heard

everything.

I'll leave. This is best for you and for the Thorne family's reputation.

I haven't touched a single cent of the money on this card. I'm giving it back

to you.

I was only ever a companion taking money to do a job anyway.

Our contract ends here. It's enough.

Who gave you the right to make decisions for me?

Who allowed you to leave?

Last night in the studio, why didn't you say anything?

You were weighing the pros and cons too, weren't you? Did you also think about

just sending me away and being done with it?

Yes.

I did think about it.

I did think about what would be most beneficial to me, what would be cleanest

for the family, but... I can't do it.

I sat in that damn conference room, and all I could think about was that the

person they wanted me to throw away like trash was you.

I have absolutely no way to treat you as a problem to be stozed of.

I used to bind you with that contract, and I lied to myself.

I told myself over and over that you were just my property, just prey.

But what prey keeps its master awake at night?

What prey is worth me turning against my entire family without hesitation in the

conference room for sake?

I fell for you, Chloe Reed.

I fell for you a long time ago.

I just didn't dare to admit it.

Because once I admitted it, you'd become a weakness that any enemy could use

against me.

Just like this time, I was afraid I couldn't protect you.

Then let me be your weakness.

You protect me, and I'll protect you.

I am not prey waiting to be protected and discarded at any moment.

I am the person who wants to face all of this with you.

Go back to your room. It's full of reporters outside right now.

Leave the rest to me. You don't need to see those disgusting things.

No. That video was maliciously filmed and edited. I am willing to forward,

face all the cameras, and tins the clearing to everybody exactly what our

relationship is.

Nonsense. Do you have any idea how filthy the mouths of those media outside

are? They will eat you alive. I will not allow you to go out there and risk

yourself.

Evelyn, from the time I had nothing, you were the one who always shielded me

behind you.

But this time, let me be with you.

Let me stand openly and honorably by your side, okay?

Okay.

We do this together.

Restore the source code of the original video. Lock onto the IP address that

sent the video to the media.

Detain all these people and get their confessions and financial records.

Before 2 p.m., I want the entire chain of evidence.

Are you afraid?

With you here, I'm not afraid.

Miss Thorne, are you bringing the victim here to gagger in public?

I know what you all want to see today. You want to see how a high and mighty

wealthy heiress imprisons and abuses a poor pitiful student in some dark

corner. Unfortunately I have to disappoint you.

You are nothing but idiots being used as pawns by someone else.

This is a notifies forensic report of the original video. The parts that were

cut out are footage of me asking her if she was willing before every

interaction, and her clearly nodding in consent.

Between us, there are absolutely clear boundaries in a mutually and voluntarily

signed contract.

There was no imprisonment, no coercion, and certainly no so-called abuse.

This, from start to finish, was a clumsy eavesdropping and framing operation

meticulously ordinated by my business rivals.

Bitch, Evelyn, you actually dared to show your face for her?

Since I can't have you, then let's all go to hell together.

My name is Chloe Reed.

I am the person in that video.

I want to tell everyone that I am not some pitiful wretch being held prisoner,

nor am I a toy bought with money, only to be tossed away once someone gets

bored of it.

I am someone who stands by her side willingly.

You saw her acting high and mighty in the video, saying she toyed with me and

treated me like a thing with no dignity.

But you have no idea that in this world, she is the only one who treated me when

I was driven to a dead end by lone harks and could barely hold on my dignity as a

real person truly worthy of being taken to sleep.

Get back!

I've planted explosives all the load-bearing columns in the B2 parking

hajj. If anyone moves another muscle, everyone in this building goes to hell

together!

Police units, five minutes.

You saw the live broadcast of the press conference.

Your cards are all played, and you've already lost.

Lost?

I didn't come here today to fight over winning or losing. I came to demand an

explanation!

Tell those lapdogs to get lost.

You two, walk over here.

Evelyn Thorne, what I hate the most isn't that you don't love me.

What I hate is that for the past year, you didn't even have the patience to lie

to me or humor me.

I always thought I was your one and only.

What you wanted was never me.

You just couldn't swallow your pride.

I kept you for a year because you always knew your place and calculated your

steps perfectly.

But you could never touch that string in my heart.

Shut up! Shut the hell up!

Point the gun at me.

Evelyn Thorne!

The grand head of the Thorne family actually taking a bullet for some lowly

brat who crawled out of a delivery box?

What about that rule you love to preach so much?

What happened to your no love?

That was the most foolish thing I have ever said in my life.

Good, fantastic.

The more you admit it, the happier I am.

Because you, this arrogant woman who thinks she's above the world, finally

have a weakness!

I've changed my mind now.

I'm going to blow her head off right in front of you.

I'm going to make the first person you've ever truly loved shatter right

before your eyes. That way, you will never be able to forget me for the rest

of your life.

Sebastian, how much money do you want? What company? What resources do you

want? I'll give it all to you today. Put the gun down.

Don't touch her.

Mr. Hazel, he's really going to shoot.

Sebastian, every bit of wealth and luxury you've enjoyed these past three

years was given to you by her. She may not have loved you, but she never did

you any harm.

You firing this gun today isn't about revenge at all. It's because you

yourself can no longer survive in this cruel world. You're just a cheap

delivery girl. What the hell do you know?

I know.

Because I used to be one of those pathetic worms who could only survive by

being needed.

I've gone hungry. I've knelt and begged for my sister's medical bills. I was

even clearly priced and laid out on a contract.

But she taught me something.

A person truly stands up on their own not because someone loves them, but

because you have the courage to face the day when no one in the world loves you.

You always said you were afraid you couldn't protect me. This time, let me

protect you for once.

Shoot. If firing this shot will bring you relief.

But remember this. Even if you kill me, she still won't remember you.

You will only completely become a pathetic, wandering ghost with

absolutely nothing left.

Chloe!

I could

have... I could have been the one standing by her side with dignity, too.

You won.

If you ever dare, if you ever dare to step into a gun barrel like you just

did, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life.

Okay.

And for the rest of your life, never let me go again.

From today on, you are no longer the companion I hired with money.

You are free.

So now, I'd like to get to know you all over again, Miss Chloe Reed. Be my

lover, will you?

No contracts, no money transactions, and definitely not anyone's exclusive

property. Just two willing souls. Yes!

I only drink black coffee. Just try a sip. Just one.

It's too sweet.

Just this once.

Stubborn to the very end.

Sister, how much longer are you going to keep this from me?

Keep what from you? That kind of look isn't something ordinary friends have.

Let me officially introduce you.

Lily, this is my... love.

No wonder you always have insomnia. Who can stand listening to this?

Chloe, this is too loud. Relax, Evelyn! You're on vacation now!

You

know what? This is

the first time since I turned 18 that I've run away from work.

And surprisingly, I don't feel like having a breakdown.

I'm sorry. It looks like our vacation plans have to be put on hold for now.

There's no signal here, so we can't call for help.

Don't worry. Let's check the trunk for tools.

All done. The tire's good, and we have enough oil to make it to the next town.

All my life, whether it's business, relationships, or feelings, I've had to

keep everything firmly under my control.

Because the moment I lose control, I'm doomed.

But tonight, for the first time, I feel like not being in control of everything

isn't so bad.

Because I know that even if the sky falls, I'm not alone anymore.

You'll catch me.

How long have you been together?

Let me think.

Probably since the time she delivered an order to the wrong place.

It looks pretty old.

Are you sure it can adapt to life at the villa? We need to give it a name.

It's very sweet.

Let's call it Delivery, okay?

Delivery. Good name.

Evelyn, do you know, once in this world, I was also with a price tag, put on a

contract, and ready to be discarded at any moment.

But now, not only do I have a home, I can also give a home to another

abandoned life.

We've finally come full circle.

I'm about to take Chloe and Lily back to the Thorne family for dinner. How can

I... Stop

pacing. You're making me dizzy. Come with me.

I've decided to make a pumpkin pie from scratch to take with us.

Now, CEO Thorne, you've been assigned as my assistant.

Help me mix that bowl of flour.

It seems she was never afraid of big occasions or the elders making things

difficult.

What she's truly afraid of is that the family she brings back won't be accepted

by those connected to her by blood.

Who made

this pie?

I did, Grandma.

Allow

me

to formally introduce everyone.

This is Chloe, my girlfriend, and this is her sister, Lily.

In the past...

I always thought Thanksgiving was a hypocritical holiday because I didn't

know what there was to be thankful for.

But this year, I am thankful that I finally learned how to love and how to

come home.
