Original subtitles

I found a way.

Please, just give me a little more time.

I'll pay Sophie's hospital bills. I promise.

Just this once.

This alone could probably pay for Sophie's treatment.

You broke into my house?

To steal my underwear?

No, I mean...

Please

don't call the police.

I have a little sister from the orphanage depending on me.

She's sick.

I need money for her treatment.

If they arrest me, they'll take her away.

What's your name?

Ellie?

I'll let you off, Ellie.

Under one condition.

Take off your clothes.

Take off your clothes.

What?

But that's... If money is what you want, I can give you luxury bags, jewelry,

cash, anything.

But whether you receive them or not depends on you.

You don't want to?

Then I suppose I should call the police.

When the police arrive, they'll see a Black Panther Alpha in her own bedroom

and a Rabbit Omega holding stolen property.

Wait!

Alright, I'll do it.

Just... don't call the police.

Good girl.

Keep going.

This is a Cartier watch I bought for $500,000, and right now it's 1120.

Lucky time.

So let's make a wish, shall we?

What are you... If you can last a full 20 minutes, the watch is yours, I'll let

you go, and that little rabbit clan kid can keep getting the treatment.

Sound fair?

But you're going to keep your word, right?

This isn't just an Apex Alpha amusing herself with a rabbit omemga, is it?

Darling, one thing about me.

I'm always a woman of my word.

So?

Okay.

I... I'll do what you want.

You know...

You're pretty brave sneaking into a mansion like this most rabbit omegas

wouldn't even step into a neighborhood owned by predator blood leaks

Did you know who I was? Or did you just pick the biggest house you could?

Hey!

Get back here!

I can't take this. What?

But it's the real thing. It's worth a lot.

A rabbit walks in with a half-million-dollar Cartier, no receipt,

no ownership papers.

That alone is enough reason for me to call the police.

Don't call the police. I can explain.

And there's an engraving.

I'm not getting involved in rich people problems.

I still don't have the money.

What am I supposed to tell the orphanage now?

Little thief, we meet again.

Little thief, we meet again.

How did you find me? Are you here to arrest me?

If I wanted to expose you.

You wouldn't be standing here right now.

Miss Laurent, you came back.

Look, I finished the drawing.

Oh, I finished the drawing.

Miss Laurent, thank you again for the donations.

As of this morning, treatments for children with rare diseases have been

fully funded.

Your foundation also required that Bloodline Rank no longer determine who

receives help first.

We're only waiting for the guardians to sign the consent forms.

Prey class children can begin treatment immediately as well.

She what?

Alright everyone, I need to leave now.

My friend and I have somewhere to be.

Bye!

What is it that you actually want from me?

What I want?

Are you sure you want the answer to that question?

Wait, what are you doing?

Yes, I'm trying to reach Ellie right now. She has to accept the donation.

The custody review is already stacked against rabbits.

If she turns it down, the board will call her negligent and take Sophie away

for good.

Hello?

Yes, I'm at the hospital right now.

Oh my God, that's Grace from the orphanage.

She must be here to see me about Sophie.

Sophie is the child you're taking care of, right?

Don't worry, I make regular donations to this hospital.

Sophie can be included in the children's treatment coverage too.

I removed the bloodline priority rule from the fund.

She won't be pushed behind Apex blooded children just because she's pre-class.

You'll just need to sign the consent documents later.

And about the watch.

Keep it.

I'm not going to report you.

But why?

Why are you doing all this for me?

A rabbit Omega like me can't even get hired at a regular front desk. Yet

you're paying for Sophie's treatment and letting me keep that watch?

Because you'll do something for me in return.

I want you to be my personal assistant.

I can't believe I have to live here now.

Ellie, come to my bedroom.

Take that navy blaze and get it dry cleaned.

Looks like you found my toy.

I kept you out of a cell, little thief. Now you're mine to punish.

No, don't.

And please stop calling me little thief.

Oh, but you are a thief.

Who's now owned by me.

Your punishment starts now.

Damn it, not again.

Damien.

Damien?

Celeste. I'm coming over.

I'll be there at 10.

Don't. I don't want to see you tonight.

Don't be ridiculous, Celeste. I have to see you. It's important.

You might be engaged, Damien. But that doesn't mean you get to schedule my

life.

Engaged? You're... Shh.

Wait. Are you with someone?

Son of a...

I told you to stay quiet, naughty girl.

What the fuck is going on here?

Celeste?

Leave the talking to me.

What part of I don't want to see you wait that you don't understand?

Show me some respect, won't you? I'm still your fucking fiancé.

I heard someone on the phone. What exactly am I interrupting here? Are you

cheating on me?

I was just talking to my new assistant, damn it.

And it's rich of you to accuse me when you know you're the one who's been

cheating behind my back.

Careful. Let's face it. This engagement isn't working.

You're not even the true heir of your family. You're just a replacement.

Stop. You're hurting me.

Leave. I need to speak to my fiancé alone.

No. She stays.

Whatever you want to say, say it in front of her.

Wow.

A low-blooded rabbit Omega has the Loran Panther Harris protecting her like this.

She really is special, isn't she? Well, let's see how long that lasts.

Damien, stop.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you fucking touch her!

Are you hurt?

Here, I'll help you up. Just stay behind me.

Unbelievable.

Let's see.

Ellie Valley.

Same last name. 24 years old. Raised in an orphanage. No known family.

Didn't finish high school. Registered species.

White rabbit.

Secondary sex. Omega.

No Apex blood sponsor. No formal education.

No stable employment history.

Seriously? This is your assistant?

You hired this?

Oh, Celeste. I knew your judgment was questionable, but this? She's completely

unqualified to be your assistant.

Are you finished?

You're angry because I rejected you, and now you're taking it out on my employee?

How pathetic.

You can insult Ellie all you want. It doesn't change anything.

You're still a piece of crap, and I still hate being engaged to you.

Leave. I don't want you here.

This isn't over.

Neither of you have heard the last of me.

Hey.

Don't listen to him. No, he's right.

A rabid Omega like me don't belong here. Once Sophie recovers, I'll leave. I

won't bother you anymore.

Ellie Vale?

Who are you exactly?

Because I'm not letting you go until I find out.

Don't worry.

You'll always stay with me. Just like I promised back at the orphanage.

Right now we have donations helping your treatment.

And I got a job.

Really?

Yeah. It's all thanks to a woman called Celeste Laurent.

She's... nice.

When she wants to be.

Do you like her?

What? No.

Besides... She's engaged.

Oh, right.

Grace came by yesterday. She said the orphanage is having money problems

again.

If it isn't Celeste's favorite.

What do you want? Are you following me?

Money.

It's amazing what you can find when you have enough of it, and I have plenty.

Especially a Rabbit Omega's address, hospital records, and orphanage files

barely cost anything.

Name your price, and I'll give you more money than Celeste ever could.

But I want you to tell me the truth.

What's going on between you and Celeste?

The orphanage is having money problems again.

I... I

can't.

Don't assume every desperate rabbit Omega has a price.

Fine.

I didn't agree to anything.

Take the money back.

Keep it.

To you, it's life-changing.

To me, it's the price of dinner.

And once you're ready to cooperate, I'll send you the rest.

For now, keep an eye on Celeste for me, will ya?

What does it mean that he wants me to keep an eye on her?

Keep an eye on who?

Have you been to places you shouldn't be, Ellie?

No.

I was at the hospital.

Then

why

do you suddenly smell like Damien's pheromones?

I... I didn't.

Oh, you've been a bad girl, haven't you, little bunny?

What are you doing? I swear I didn't do anything!

Let me show you a glimpse of what I can

do if you ever even think of betraying me.

Miss Lauren?

Please, don't misunderstand.

I didn't... What are you doing?

Now, I'm going to take off your clothes, one by one, with every question you

deny. Got it?

What?

Damien approached you, didn't he?

I bet he offered you money to turn you against me.

How much was it?

I... It wasn't like...

What did I say about denying questions, Ellie?

Yes, he offered me money.

He wanted to know about you, about us, about why you hired me. But I didn't

tell him anything, I swear.

Is that so?

Yes. I didn't tell him about us.

I'll let you off this time, but take this as a warning, Ellie.

Don't you dare cross me.

Damien, he's still watching me.

What do I do now?

That's your desk. You'll be handling my schedule, calls, and meeting notes.

Right.

Did he see me and Celeste together?

What if he tells people?

Ellie! This is your first day as my personal assistant in the office, so try

not to fall behind.

Yes. Sorry.

Alright. Get yourself settled. We have a board meeting in 30 minutes. You'll

accompany me.

That's the new assistant?

I heard she doesn't even have a degree.

And she's a rabbit omega.

Since when does the CEO floor hire people from that kind of bloodline?

Who approved this hire?

Madam CEO herself.

Must be nice getting accepted without qualifications.

Apparently when a rabbit finds the right apex alpha to take her in, education and

experience no longer matter.

No!

Theft. Illegal work.

Nearly sold by a casino.

What a delightfully wretched little rabbit life you've had.

Tell me, how do you think Loren Group would react if they saw this?

This... this must be Damien. He's trying to ruin me!

No. No one can know about this.

Especially Celeste.

There's only one place Damien could have gotten this.

Ellie?

Pleasure working with you.

Damien!

There you are.

The girl with the dark past.

You... you bribed them?

The orphanage is struggling financially.

I guess they don't have much choice but to share everything they know about you

when I ask them nicely.

Which I'd say was very eye-opening.

Yes, everything is in here. The stealing, the police reports.

Stop. Though my favorite is the part where you almost got sold off.

How did that even happen? Stop! Stop! Stop!

Look, if you still don't want to tell me what happens between you and Celeste,

fine. I can easily figure that out myself.

I just need you to watch her.

Please don't do this.

Monitor her.

Every move.

Because I think she's planning something against me, and I intend to find out

what it is.

Do as I say, Ellie, and nobody ever has to see these.

Not even Celeste.

What am I supposed to do? I don't want to betray Smust, but if she and everyone

finds out... Ellie.

Celeste? Get in the car.

Celeste? I thought I'd made myself clear.

Yesterday, you disappeared.

Today, you disappeared.

And you come back looking terrified. Just what the hell is going on, Ellie?

Celeste, careful.

Is it Damien again?

Is he threatening you? Or worse, are you working with him?

No, Celeste, please. I hate that I'm losing control over you, Ellie.

You're not losing me, Celeste.

I will never betray you.

In fact, I'm willing to do anything.

I'll give myself to you because I...

Miss Laurent, we finally found a crucial lead regarding the true heir of the Vale

family.

You have it?

Yes, Miss Laurent.

A medical report.

And I'm afraid the evidence supports your suspicions.

The documentation confirms a biological connection to the Vale family.

Ellie Vale is the legitimate heir, not Mr. Damien Vale.

Ellie? We still don't know how the records were altered, or why she

disappeared from the family registry, but there's no doubt concerning her

identity.

All these years I'm searching.

From the first moment Ellie broke into my mansion, and I learned that her last

name is Vale, I suspected it. I kept her close to me as my assistant so I could

dig deeper.

But I never thought it would actually be her.

Ellie Vale.

I finally found you.

The true heir of the Vale family.

If Damien exposes everything, they'll look at me with even more contempt.

Even Celeste might hate me.

But I can't spy on her like some kind of traitor.

I've fallen for her.

Maybe the only way is for me to leave.

Yes.

I have to leave Celeste.

No one can know that Ellie's the true heir. Not even Ellie herself.

At least until I end everything with Damien first.

I won't let her get dragged into this power transaction mess.

If I'm gone, Damien can't use me. He can't force me to betray her.

We should leave.

Right. Let me take those.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I wasn't...

I

can

handle it myself.

Just wait by the front door while I change.

I keep causing problems for her.

Maybe she's finally tired of dealing with me.

Why? Why would someone alter the records?

Who would benefit from making a child disappear?

Celesta? Can I come in?

Come in.

What's going...

I want to resign from my position as your assistant.

I want to resign from my position as your assistant.

What?

I printed it earlier at the office. I'm not sure if I formatted it correctly,

but...

Celeste!

You're not going anywhere.

You're going to stay by my side forever.

You're never allowed to leave me.

Celeste!

Where's Celeste?

That bitch thinks she can keep canceling public appearances with me and get away

with it!

Celeste!

Why?

Why won't you let me leave?

Because... Because I need to protect you, idiot.

Celeste! Where the hell are you?

Oh, God.

Stay still.

Hiding someone.

Celeste.

How many times are you going to come into my house unannounced and accuse me

of things?

Careful now, because I might start thinking you're becoming obsessed with

me.

Obsessed, huh?

You know, the least you can do is keep up appearances for our engagement.

But I guess you've been too busy keeping some little lover hidden in here.

So, who is it?

Is it that investor from Singapore?

That actress everyone keeps linking you to?

Or is it Ellie?

You're insane.

And speaking of Ellie, leave her the fuck alone.

As long as she's under my contract, she's under my protection.

And I don't play when it comes to what's mine.

We're done here. See yourself out.

This cheap thing is definitely not Celesta's.

Celeste, just how much further do you and your lowly little rabbit assistant

think you can hide from me?

We'll be staying here during the business trip. Your room is connected to

mine.

Though you're welcome to stay here if you want.

I thought you were going to consider my resignation.

The agreement was simple, Ellie. You work for me, I pay for Sophie's

treatment.

Surely you don't want to stop her treatment, no?

This business trip, other people are coming too, right?

It's very quiet here.

That's because this entire floor belongs to us.

What?

You look tense.

Come to the hot spring with me.

And don't wear a single thing.

Found you, Celeste.

And once I catch you in the act, it'll be your reputation on the line, or your

company.

Come here.

People can see.

Let them try.

You don't really want to go, do you?

What?

Are you jealous?

Is that it? Would you be jealous if I actually married Damien one day?

You can't hide from me, Celeste.

I don't... Would you care if I belonged to someone else?

I don't want you to go.

Oh no!

We crossed the line!

She hasn't said a thing about last night.

Almost like it never happened.

Yes, Damien. I'll see you after my business trip is finished.

Why are you so eager?

Of course I'm alone in my room.

Right. I'm nothing but a secret affair to her.

You're done?

We'll leave in five.

Celeste, if it's okay, I'd like to visit Sophie sometime soon.

And if she's doing better... I'll still go through with my resignation.

She's still leaving.

Well, I guess I can't stop her. But last night... No.

I can't let it get to me.

That means Ellie was intentionally removed.

Replaced.

No.

It can't be not her.

Good night, Celeste.

She's not coming to me anymore.

Stay behind, Ellie.

There's something we need to discuss.

Work-related?

Do I need another reason?

I'm still your boss, aren't I?

I can still make you do as I say, even if you're avoiding me.

Get on the desk and spread your legs.

We shouldn't... not here.

Come on, Ellie.

I can't forget the way you moaned for me that night.

Wider.

I said wider.

Miss Lawrence?

Are you still in there?

Go. Under the table.

What? Just do it for fuck's sake!

See?

I'm just her dirty little secret.

Nothing more.

Whatever it is, make it quick.

We've monitored Mr. Vale's movements, ma'am. Ever since he discovered that

he's adopted, he hasn't actively pursued the investigation into the true heir. If

anything, he appears to be suppressing possible leads. However, recently he

conducted extensive inquiries into Grace Haven Orphanage.

No. I can't keep doing this.

At this time, we cannot confirm whether it was related to Succession Matters or

a separate personal inquiry, but we felt it was worth reporting.

He got to Ellie's orphanage.

Did he find out she's the seer?

Very well.

You may leave.

Come out, Ellie.

When Damien offered you money... Am I just entertainment to you, Celestia?

One minute you're all over me, and the next you hide me.

Am I a toy for you? Is that it? Ellie, that's nonsense. I have more important

matters to talk to you- No! I want to talk about this!

I love you, Celeste.

I do.

Don't you feel the same?

At all?

I... Don't you feel the same?

At all?

I don't usually, duh, love.

But you've made me feel things I shouldn't feel.

You make me care.

Then let me teach you everything I know about love.

Come. Let's talk more at home.

Miss Laurent.

Not now.

I apologize, but this concerns the company.

We understand you may have your reasons for hiring her, but we cannot accept

Ellie Vale's lack of qualifications.

This company isn't charity.

A lowborn rabbit omega raised in an orphanage with no family name and no

bloodline worth endorsing belongs on the street, not in a multi-billion dollar

empire.

It's okay.

Please don't make this harder.

Ellie!

I'm not letting them hurt you.

Gotcha.

We found another possible connection.

It seems that Ellie Vale's removal may overlap with the disappearance of her

mother. There was no official divorce, no death certificate, nothing.

She's gone, just like Ellie.

Maybe they were both removed around the time of Ellie's birth.

Keep digging, I want all of it.

What the fuck?

So nice of your little girlfriend to open the doors for me, fiancé.

Celeste. He exposed us.

And he revealed everything.

What I did. My past.

I'm sorry.

Please don't hate me for who I was.

Let go of her.

Oh, look at that.

You really think Celeste cares?

All she cares about is who you are, Ellie.

She's been investigating you.

Not because she fell in love with you, but because she wanted to use you to

dethrone me.

I don't understand.

You, Ellie, are the true veil-haired, and I'm not letting the world know.

Stop it, you pathetic fool.

You're adorable when you're angry.

Look, let's solve this civilly. How about I'll send you a waiver, and you

make sure your little girlfriend here signs it. Anything related to the veil

-haired position, She gives it up for me, and this ends.

And if she refuses, these aren't the only things I can burn.

And as for you, baby, I'd suggest you start doing some serious damage control

for your scandal.

Apologize us.

Tell the public this was a mistake.

Tell them you'll still marry your poor, cheated fiancé. Because remember, your

board already has doubts.

It'd be unfortunate if control of your company slipped out of your hands.

Don't underestimate me.

Was it true?

Everything he said?

Ellie, let me explain. So you knew.

All this time you knew and you never told me?

Yes.

I knew.

But I didn't tell you because- Stop explaining!

You only kept me around because of my bloodline like I was your pet!

I hate you!

For once, someone chose me. But maybe Damien was right.

I'm just useful.

To him and to Celeste.

I sent over the waiver. Make sure Ellie signs it. And also, I've arranged a

press conference for us tomorrow.

So put on your best bride-to-be face for me.

If I don't do what Damien wants, he won't stop targeting Ellie.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for letting me stay while I figure things out. Of course, Ellie.

This place is your home, too.

And, um, I'm sorry about what happened, about your background. One of our

employees shouldn't have... This is where I belong.

Not some air fantasy that's too good to be true.

But wasn't I supposed to sign something?

Why hasn't Celeste- Everyone makes mistakes.

I've decided to accept my fiance's apologies.

We're still getting married this month.

Married? This month?

Your performance was convincing.

Cut the crap.

Where's the waiver I told you to get Ellie to sign?

Relax. She doesn't work for me anymore, remember?

We still have a contract to settle. After that, I'll talk to her.

Besides, isn't this enough warranty?

What have you got?

Big family conspiracy.

We need to find Ellie first.

I've bought us enough time, but we can't let her hand over what's rightfully hers

to Damien.

I think Celeste is crossing me.

Go to the orphanage.

Burn the damn place down.

Got it, boss.

Please wait for me. I'm coming. I need to talk to you.

What?

What's going on?

The person you're trying to reach is unavailable. Please leave a message

after the tone.

Ellie, please don't let anything happen to you.

What could be so important?

No. I don't want to get my hopes up just to get hurt again.

Get him!

Stop! Call emergency!

Keep the children together!

Ellie, wake up.

Ellie, please. I'm here. It's me.

See these?

Ellie,

hey, stay with me.

Can you hold on to me, Ellie?

Can you do that for me?

I... trust you.

Good.

Because I'll get you out of here. You're safe with me, Ellie, I promise.

So?

Fire spread.

People started coming out.

But someone chased us.

We couldn't stay.

What about the target?

We didn't see her come out.

But with that amount of fire, she's as good as dead.

Good enough.

Just watch Celeste to Lauren.

If Ellie's still alive, we'll know from her movement.

They're still inside!

Yes. Help is coming, but we still haven't heard from Miss Lawrence and...

No way.

Miss Lawrence! Miss Vale!

Quick. Ellie needs help.

We made it. We... Ellie!

Where am I?

You're in my private apartment.

No one outside knows about this place.

Thank you.

Celeste?

She still wants me.

Even after everything.

I'm never letting you go again.

Yes. Yes, right there.

You're beautiful when you come and go for me.

Ellie, you are so good.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you who you were, Ellie.

I was only trying to protect you.

I know.

I forgive you.

Morning.

I think you should stay here and keep a low profile for a while.

You want to hide me again?

Yes, but not in the way you think.

Ellie, we need to fake your death.

I thought no one knew about this place.

He's fine. He's going to help us.

The guy got away, but he dropped this.

Damien Vale is in the call history.

Damien? Yes.

We've confirmed he was behind the fire, and he's not going to stop. That is why

we are going to keep you safe.

By making him believe he succeeded in getting rid of the true Vale heir.

At least, until we figure out the next step in our plan.

The Vale heir.

I guess I'm still in denial about all of it.

Ellie, would you like to see your mother?

Mother?

We recently found out that your mother disappeared the same year your father,

Robert Vale,

Married his mistress.

That woman is now Damien's legal mother.

Given the suspicious timing, we believe Robert may have been involved in your

mother's death.

That is what I wanted to tell you before the fire.

Trust me, Ellie.

I will help you reclaim your name and your inheritance, and I will bring

justice to your mother.

I'll make them pay.

Good morning, Mr. Vale.

Any word from Celeste yet?

No, sir.

Damien.

You're alive.

I mean, you're actually here.

You're alone?

Look, about what happened, let's put it behind us. We can't let the public know.

And?

What about Ellie?

I paid the orphanage.

The official statement will say it was an accident, including what happened to

Ellie.

What? You won.

You made your point.

I thought I could find a way out, but I guess I was wrong.

So?

We might as well go through with the wedding.

Got him.

I'll see you when I'm home tonight.

What the hell, Damien?

You're not trying to cross me again, are you?

Sir, the board is waiting in the conferencing room.

Well, don't keep them waiting, Damien.

Ellie?

I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me.

Well, well, well.

Looks delicious.

Sit down.

I made your favorite.

I think dinner can

wait.

Just a little longer, and you'll be Ellie Vale, the Harris.

My equal.

My woman.

So, Damien bought it?

What is this? How did you get this?

It's a gift for you.

Do you like it?

We'll skip it this time.

But don't worry.

There'll be plenty of chances to play with it later.

Wait, Celeste.

Damien's starting to...

And

then what's next?

Next, we'll watch him plan his own execution.

Authorities are still investigating the orphanage fire.

All children and staff survived, except for one person who remains unaccounted

for. That's Ellie Vale, Celeste Laurent's former assistant.

I heard she didn't make it out.

First that massive scandal, and now this. It's a tragedy.

So, she's really dead.

Let's begin.

As many of you know, following my upcoming marriage to Miss Laurent,

Laurent Group and Vale Hebeldings will begin a strategic integration.

I think we should hold a conference soon and invite everyone who matters.

Let the media see exactly how powerful this union will be.

In fact, I propose an immediate vote to let me begin taking over Laurent Group's

operations.

Excuse me?

Only for now.

Given your recent scandal, I'm sure the investors and the heads of the high

-ranking families still have serious doubts about your leadership.

Am I right?

Consider it a favor, darling.

I can take charge on your behalf.

Let a real executive clean up your mess before there is nothing left to save.

What the fuck was that?

Did you enjoy disrespecting me in front of my own board, Damien?

You think you can humiliate me into submission?

I am not giving you control of my company.

Oh, Celeste.

Look at you, still shouting as if you actually have a choice.

Maybe you still haven't realized how this works.

Once that ring is on your finger, you are done.

Your company becomes my company.

Your assets become my assets.

You will sit quietly in our penthouse, play the pretty wife, and let a real man

run the show.

Without my permission, You will be nothing.

I will never... Shut up and listen to me. If you dare defy me,

you know by now that my consequences aren't just words.

Just wait and see, Damien.

This time...

You're the one who will burn to the ground.

So you're finally allowed to leave the hospital?

Yes. The doctor said I'm well enough to finally go home.

That's amazing stuff.

I can't wait to see you once this is all over.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Celeste, thank you for letting me call Sophie.

And thank you for providing housing for everyone from the orphanage during all

of this. Everyone is safe, and they're more than willing to help us keep quiet

for...

This

emerald necklace was used by the Vale family to seal your bloodline. Break it,

and the rabbit disguise will follow, revealing the silver wolf you truly are.

Get ready for your big comeback, Ellie Vale.

This event cannot just be big. It needs to feel like a coronation. Grand

and excessive.

Most importantly, the Vale Holdings branding needs to dwarf Laurent Group.

We aren't standing side by side with them.

Damien.

Father, you're back from Milan.

Perfect timing.

You're just in time to watch your veil heir take his throne.

Ladies and gentlemen, members of the press, welcome.

Today, we aren't just announcing a corporate merger.

Today, we are unveiling the most powerful economic force this city has

ever seen.

We're almost there.

Are you ready?

It's time.

Yes, I'm ready.

This is a new era.

And as the sole Val Hare, I promise you, the Val legacy is only getting started.

A legacy built by my own father, Robert Val.

Before we begin... Hold it right there!

This event can't start.

Without the real Vals here.

No. Is that Ellie, the assistant?

She survived the fire?

She looks completely different.

What does Seletta mean by the real heir?

Hello.

Father.

You... tricked me, both of you.

Fuck off, you piece of shit!

Security! Cut the feeds!

Get them out of here!

My name is Ellie Valet.

All my life I thought I was an orphan, but it turns out I'm not.

Why did you give me away?

And what happened to my mother?

Every day, I prayed that this day would never come.

Your grandmother wanted a grandson, a male heir. She never wanted you.

And I never wanted your mother.

So you got rid of both of us.

Did you kill her mother?

I am invoking my right to remain silent until my attorney is present.

Father! No!

What are you doing?

Don't worry, Damien. You'll be joining him.

That fire wasn't an accident after all.

Go to the orphanage. Burn the damn place down.

No. The veil name is mine!

Alright? I'm not losing it to her!

No!

We did it, Ellie.

We did it.

I love you.

Oh, God.

I really do.

I present to you, the rightful Vale heiress, Ellie Vale!
