00:00Episode 230, Broken.
00:05Emma was stunned for a moment before answering gently,
00:09We just finished working together.
00:13The girl smiled, jumped in front of Eric, and handed her notebook to him.
00:18In that case, can I please have your autograph too?
00:22This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
00:25He looked at the young girl before glancing at Emma.
00:29She shrugged, leaving the decision up to him.
00:33His eyes swept over her as he grabbed the black pen from the girl and signed his name.
00:39After she left, he said, Can we go now?
00:44She smiled and put on her sunglasses and face mask as they boarded the plane.
00:49Now that we're back in New York, we should go to the Super Queen award ceremony tonight.
00:55He said, Super Queen ranked the highest grossing models of the year, and Caitlyn's name was
01:02at the top of the list.
01:04However, in her current state, it would be too dangerous for her to go alone.
01:10So he had arranged for Emma to go with her.
01:14He wanted her to cheer Caitlyn on, but he also wanted her to see the difference between
01:19her and the top three models in the industry.
01:23He was also planning on announcing his role as Emma's manager at the award show, further
01:29elevating her status in the modeling world.
01:33It's up to you, she said in a tired voice, trusting him completely.
01:39He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead, relishing his time with her.
01:45Thanks to Caitlyn's popularity, the media were focused on Kaleidoscope's upcoming press
01:50conference, so very few people noticed that Emma and Eric were on their way back to New York.
01:58During the plane ride home, she heard snippets of varying degrees of the same conversation.
02:04Stop calling Caitlyn pitiful.
02:07She might be a bigger gambler than we thought and just good at hiding it.
02:11I never thought a supermodel's life could be such a mess.
02:15She's had three abortions.
02:17She probably can't have kids anymore.
02:20Ugh, how disgusting.
02:23Emma scoffed as she listened to them, thinking about all the times she had been the topic
02:28of conversation.
02:30The most depressing part of all this was the fact that these people were talking about
02:35things they knew nothing about.
02:39They all thought they had the full story, but they had no idea of the pain and suffering
02:45happening behind closed doors.
02:48Being a celebrity is not all it's cracked up to be.
02:52One minute we're loved and the next we're hated, she thought.
02:57Once they'd landed and Luke picked them up in the company car, she grabbed Eric's arm,
03:02his presence soothing her.
03:04He placed her head on his lap and gently stroked her hair.
03:09Get some rest.
03:10I'll wake you when we get home.
03:13No, we should go to your office.
03:16You need to deal with the problem at Kaleidoscope.
03:20Luis can handle it.
03:21He doesn't need me to step in, he replied in a cold tone.
03:26He wasn't worried about Star King's little tricks.
03:30In that case, I want to see Caitlyn.
03:33I think she could use a friend to talk to.
03:37Eric nodded, and when they got home, he had Luke grab one of their less flashy cars and
03:43drive her to Caitlyn's house.
03:45Caitlyn's home was surrounded by reporters when they got there.
03:49She couldn't leave her house, and Emma couldn't get in.
03:53So she called her.
03:55A few minutes later, Caitlyn snuck out through a secret door, in a disguise, and got into
04:01the car.
04:03Luke drove the two women to a peaceful spot overlooking the ocean.
04:07Caitlyn kept a scarf wrapped around her face the entire time, even when they were alone,
04:13making Emma suspicious.
04:16She pulled off Caitlyn's scarf and found wounds and bruises covering her face.
04:21Did Chris hit you again? she asked angrily.
04:26Caitlyn threw her scarf on the beach as she said, I got into another fight with the asshole.
04:32He wanted to kill me, he was so furious, so I ran as soon as I got the chance.
04:38Emma listened quietly as Caitlyn leaned against the front of the car, tears rolling uncontrollably
04:44down her cheeks.
04:46He said he'll release sexual photos of us if I don't turn over all my assets to him.
04:52I'm so tired, Emma.
04:55Sometimes I think I should just kill myself and take him with me.
05:00Emma looked at her and asked seriously, tell me the truth.
05:04How did his mistress, how did Sarah really die?
05:09She was beaten to death on the streets.
05:12I always assumed he'd hired people to do it, she replied.
05:17Didn't you investigate the incident afterwards?
05:19Emma asked.
05:20Of course I did, but none of it matters if no one believes me.
05:26Emma saw the problem.
05:28Maybe this was the key to fighting back and putting an end to this.
05:34Give me all the evidence you've collected so far, and I'll have some people you trust
05:39start digging deeper.
05:41You need to make him regret messing with you, and something tells me he'll be begging you
05:47instead of beating you.
05:49If we can find a way to get the upper hand, don't let him break you.
05:55You're still a famous supermodel, you can turn the tables on him.
06:00She looked at Emma, impressed by how clear-headed she was as she outlined the beginnings of
06:06a plan.
06:08She had been so lost, and there had been times when she looked at Chris in the middle of
06:13the night and considered strangling him, but it wasn't in her.
06:18She was tired of being weak, so she closed her eyes and said, okay, let's try it your
06:26way.
06:27She looked at Emma and laughed lightly.
06:29Have you always been calm in the face of danger?
06:33Or is this Eric's doing?
06:36He saved me from my own personal hell and gave me a new lease on life, Emma said with
06:41a small smile.
06:44Make sure you and Eric never stop loving each other.
06:47Seeing you two in love gives me strength and makes me believe I'll find love one day too,
06:53and I know it does the same for others.
06:57Emma turned and stood next to Kaitlyn.
06:59I'll be right by your side, fighting and helping you drown out the negativity from the media
07:05and the public.
07:07Thanks, Emma.
07:09We should head back.
07:10Louise organized a press conference.
07:13Emma was silent for a moment as she thought before suggesting, we should go to the hospital
07:19instead of the press conference.
07:22Crying isn't enough.
07:24If you really want to gain sympathy, then we need to document your wounds and get other
07:29women that are going through the same thing on your side.
07:34Kaitlyn agreed, understanding her intent.
07:37They had become good friends, practically sisters over the past few weeks, and could
07:43often read each other without speaking.
07:46A while later, Luke dropped Kaitlyn off at the hospital and took Emma back to Tribeca.
07:53Soon after, an entertainment news update was released.
07:57Kaitlyn had received new wounds and was threatened to keep her mouth shut just before the press
08:02conference.
08:04Louise used Kaitlyn's personal diary as proof of the truth immediately after the news update.
08:10The diary was written from a broken woman's point of view and spanned years, detailing
08:18all the suffering and oppression she had experienced.
08:22Many people, especially women, related to the information in the diary, lighting a fuse
08:29in people and swaying public opinion as they rallied behind her.
08:53Episode 231 Defending a Friend
08:57Kaitlyn, Emma is amazing, and Louise's PR team handled things really well.
09:04Right now, the majority of the public's opinion is on our side.
09:09While they waited in the hospital room, Kaitlyn's assistant, Helena, read the news, her expression
09:15filled with joy.
09:17Promise me you'll get help if this ever happens again.
09:21I cried for hours when I read through your diary.
09:25Kaitlyn felt relieved as hope infused her and the despair she had lived with for years
09:30lessened.
09:32Kaleidoscope's counterattack had helped her push aside her pain and anger for the time
09:37being.
09:38Helena continued, I admit, I thought Emma was just a pretty face and didn't think she
09:44deserved to be her friend.
09:47Did you really think Eric would be with someone like that?
09:50She asked.
09:52Helena scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.
09:56Kaitlyn lowered her head, thanking, before she lifted her head again and looked out the
10:01window.
10:02She said, Emma has done more for me in just a few hours than anyone else has in years.
10:10She's given me hope and talked me off the ledge.
10:13Do you still think she's just a pretty face?
10:16She paused before continuing, I completely understand why Eric likes her.
10:22She's more than proven that she's worthy of my friendship and his love.
10:28All Helena knew was that Emma was the reason Kaitlyn had bounced back so quickly and looked
10:34as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
10:38She could sense Kaitlyn's immense gratitude and decided that she would do everything in
10:43her power to help Emma with anything she needed, and she had a feeling Kaitlyn would too.
10:51Kaitlyn had won this battle thanks to her diary and wounds, but she had a feeling Star
10:57King was underestimating Kaleidoscope's and Eric's tolerance.
11:03Testimonials, counterattacks, and praise from people she had collaborated with in the past
11:10surfaced after the news broke, and everything that jerk had revealed turned into evidence
11:16that was used against him.
11:18Kaleidoscope planned to push Star King aside by focusing on Kaitlyn and her shocking past.
11:26Her story even attracted the attention of several film and television companies who
11:31wanted to use it as a book and possibly a film.
11:35Some of the people who had been vocal in their dislike of her even apologized to her in the
11:41papers, while others stayed silent in the face of all her support.
11:47The media's attention was focused on her rather than him for once, making her feel alive and
11:54truly seen again.
11:57Later that night, Helena was interacting with fans online on Kaitlyn's behalf when she lifted
12:03her head and said,
12:04Kaitlyn?
12:05As she held out her phone.
12:07What is it?
12:09She asked, taking the phone from her.
12:12She read through a few comments in which some of her fans blamed her recent scandals on
12:17her association with Emma.
12:19Emma's a jinx!
12:21Kaitlyn's going through this because of her!
12:23That's right!
12:24Emma's a poison!
12:27Everyone around her gets hurt!
12:28This is all her fault!
12:30She needs to be taken down!
12:33Kaitlyn logged into her account after seeing some of her fans' comments and went live,
12:38saying,
12:39Anyone who talks badly about Emma is not a fan of mine.
12:44The fans went crazy as they joined the live feed.
12:47She continued,
12:48I will only say this once.
12:51I wouldn't be here without Emma.
12:54She's helped me in ways you'll never understand, and I will not tolerate anyone insulting her.
13:02Anyone who does will have to deal with me.
13:05Comments started rolling in on her video immediately.
13:08Kaitlyn, are you feeling better?
13:11I never bought into the scandals surrounding Emma anyway.
13:15I'm glad she helped you, Kaitlyn.
13:17The rest of you better keep your mouths shut.
13:20Emma's not a jinx.
13:22She's amazing.
13:23Don't worry, Kaitlyn.
13:24From now on, we'll protect and support her as much as we do you.
13:28We got both your backs, and we'll pass it on to your other fans.
13:33Kaitlyn was satisfied as the positive comments kept coming through, and closed out the video
13:39before handing the phone back to Helena.
13:42Celebrities didn't typically admonish their fans on behalf of another, so her defense
13:48of Emma attracted a lot of attention.
13:52Rumors and stories about their friendship soon started circulating online.
13:58Emma was looking through all the information Kaitlyn had compiled.
14:02She was determined to find the real culprit and end the suffering she had experienced
14:07the last few years.
14:10Next to her, Eric was busy with his own work.
14:13He put down his documents and said,
14:16You've already done more than enough for her.
14:20Eric, what if Chris tries to stir up trouble again and blame her for Sarah's murder by
14:26claiming she instigated it?
14:30No one trusts him anymore, he said as he pulled her into his arms.
14:36I want you to find the real killer, but not at the expense of your health.
14:42You're exhausted.
14:44What if I tell people that she's my friend?
14:46Do you think that would help?
14:48She asked.
14:50He smiled as he picked up some of the information she had been looking over.
14:55Let me help you.
14:57She hooked an arm around his neck and kissed him before she continued going over the reports.
15:04Unfortunately, a few hours passed and they still hadn't made a whole lot of progress.
15:11All she had discovered so far was that Sarah had been seeing more than one man.
15:17Eric said,
15:18Sometimes creating an illusion is just as good as discovering the truth.
15:24Emma looked over at him.
15:26She clearly wasn't a good person, and neither is Chris.
15:31Since they made Caitlin's life a living hell, I think it's time we return the favor.
15:38Emma smiled as she realized where he was going with this.
15:42They could make it look like she was killed by one of her lovers, which would invalidate
15:47Chris's claims that she was his true love.
15:51It would also give him a taste of his own medicine, as people realized that he had been
15:56nothing special, just one of her men.
16:00He hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder.
16:04I love that we can read each other so well.
16:08You always understand me.
16:10It's one of the many reasons why you deserve the best.
16:15She furrowed her brows.
16:17What are you planning on giving me this time?
16:31Episode 232.
16:34Shocking Truths Revealed.
16:37Chris did exactly what Emma had predicted.
16:41He told the media that Caitlin had instigated Sarah's murder and threatened to bring Sarah's
16:46parents forward as proof, which caused another media circus.
16:52The public sighed, unable to believe that he was willing to stoop so low.
16:58They all knew Caitlin wouldn't have suffered years of abuse if she'd been the type of person
17:04to have someone killed.
17:07Emma asked Luke to privately investigate Sarah's parents and find out their thoughts
17:12on her death.
17:14Meanwhile, Caitlin was unfazed.
17:17They can go on with the news all they want.
17:20I know the truth, though I'm curious how far they'll go.
17:25Louise looked questioningly at her.
17:27You don't think we should do some preliminary damage control?
17:32No need, she assured him.
17:34Are you sure?
17:35He asked, doubtful.
17:37Yeah, I want to wait and see what else he'll do, she said.
17:43Louise trusted her, but he didn't trust Chris, so he made some preparations just in case.
17:51Caitlin and the others sat in her hospital room, watched Chris's interview on TV.
17:57People are only sympathizing with Caitlin because she was hurt, but none of you realize
18:01how ruthless she is.
18:03She's beaten several others over the years.
18:06I admit, I did hurt her years ago, but the rumors about Sarah being my mistress are lies.
18:14Caitlin and I weren't married, and I'd already broken up with her when I started dating Sarah.
18:20Caitlin has been lying for years.
18:22She hired someone to kill Sarah.
18:25She's a killer.
18:27A cultured and well-educated couple sat next to him.
18:31Their expressions paled as he talked, giving the impression that they were upset over this
18:36shocking revelation regarding their daughter's death.
18:41Chris turned to them.
18:42I'm so sorry.
18:44Sarah hasn't been able to rest in peace because I let her reputation get tarnished.
18:50I asked you here today so you can finally reveal the truth.
18:55The couple turned and looked at him for a moment.
18:58Sarah's father was the first to react as he stood up, accepted the microphone, and
19:04started seriously hitting Chris in the head with it.
19:08Chris dodged most of the hits and only received a few cuts to his skin as the reporters exploded
19:15in a shocked uproar.
19:18You vile creature!
19:20You're dreaming if you think we're going to help you clear your name!
19:25Sarah's father yelled.
19:27I hate dredging up family secrets, but I can't in good conscience go along with this charade.
19:33You were dating Sarah and Caitlyn at the same time, and our entire family knows Caitlyn
19:39caught you naked in bed with my daughter.
19:42I loved my daughter, but she wasn't wronged, and unfortunately, it seems like she might
19:48have had it coming, he said, voice choking up with emotion.
19:54He turned to the camera and continued.
19:57We didn't learn about all the pain Caitlyn went through until the news clip that came
20:02out a few days ago, and Chris just happened to come looking for us.
20:07My daughter's death had nothing to do with Caitlyn.
20:11She was sleeping with a married hotel owner as well, and his wife found out.
20:16We found out a few years after her murder and reported it to the police, but nothing
20:22ever happened.
20:23We don't know if Chris thought Caitlyn did it or just wanted to hurt her, but we hope
20:29she'll rest easy knowing the truth and that we never once blamed her.
20:35Everyone was shocked, especially Chris, who stood dumbfounded as their words echoed in
20:41his mind.
20:43Caitlyn had tried to talk to him about Sarah's murder multiple times, but he truly believed
20:49she had killed his true love and rewarded her attempt at honesty with punches and kicks.
20:57Can't believe Sarah was sleeping with someone else, and even worse, it got her killed.
21:03I've tortured Caitlyn for years because of this, and for what?
21:08She had nothing to do with it, he thought as he sank weakly onto the floor, shock and
21:14regret running through him.
21:17Caitlyn stared blankly at the screen as the scene unfolded before her and everyone else
21:22watching the broadcast.
21:24Emma walked over and wrapped her in a hug, trying to comfort her.
21:29The truth is finally out.
21:32You can start fresh.
21:35Caitlyn suddenly let out a laughing cry as all the sorrow and pain rushed out of her
21:41at once.
21:42I'm finally free.
21:46In that case, you need to get ready for the Super Queen Awards ceremony, Emma told her,
21:52smiling.
21:53So do you, Caitlyn replied.
21:57Later that day, Emma could not stop smiling as she prepared dinner.
22:02That evening, Eric noticed she was in the kitchen when he got home.
22:07He pulled her into his arms as he said, looks like you've prepared a delicious feast.
22:13I take it we're celebrating?
22:16Eric, that was amazing.
22:18She's free because of you, she said.
22:22I didn't do much.
22:24Everything they said was the truth, he replied.
22:28She turned around, shocked, before looking up at him and saying, even better.
22:34He grabbed her hips and lifted her up to sit on top of the kitchen counter.
22:39I can think of a way you can thank me.
22:43You've been pushing me aside these last few days.
22:47I haven't been brushing you aside, she said, amused.
22:51Liar, he bit her lip gently.
22:55I'm sorry, what's my punishment? she asked coyly, wrapping her arms around his neck.
23:13Fierce love and protection.
23:16Eric lowered his head and pressed his nose against Emma's.
23:20I might be your manager during the day, but I'm still your husband and you've been neglecting
23:27me.
23:28I think you need to work off your punishment in bed.
23:33Your wish is my command, she replied with a smirk.
23:38You get naughtier and naughtier every day, Mrs. Roberts, he said as he loosened his
23:44grip, turned off the stove and carried her into their bedroom, where he placed her on
23:50the bed.
23:51His hands wandered over her body before drifting down to her legs, making her flinch slightly.
23:59He stopped and looked at her questioningly before noticing a bruise on her knee.
24:05What happened? he asked, worried.
24:08I slept in the bathroom.
24:11He sat up, grabbed the first aid kit and applied some medicine to her knee.
24:16He didn't touch her again and coaxed her to sleep after dinner.
24:21She woke up in the middle of the night and noticed the spot beside her was ice cold.
24:26She looked around and realized that the bathroom light was on.
24:30So she got up and tiptoed toward the door.
24:34She had gotten some non-slip flooring out of the storage cabinet and was placing it
24:39neatly on the floor.
24:41Her heart melted as she watched him.
24:44She couldn't get over how much he worried and cared about her.
24:49She approached him quietly and leaned on his back.
24:53Thank you, but you didn't need to do this.
24:56I'm fine, I promise.
24:59Now come back to bed, she said softly.
25:03He stopped, settling her more firmly on his back and carried her back to their bed without a word.
25:10The next morning, she woke to find the bathroom floor covered in a thick layer of non-slip
25:16flooring and smiled, happy tears falling gently down her face.
25:22Despite the drama surrounding Chris's latest scandal, the promotion for the Super Queen
25:28Awards had already amped up.
25:31Kaitlyn was one of the top candidates, and Kaleidoscope had already confirmed that she
25:36would be there.
25:38The awards ceremony would be her first public appearance since the scandal started, so everyone
25:44was worried about her mental health and waiting to see how she did in her red carpet interview.
25:51Except, no one had expected Emma to attend, too.
25:56Word of their friendship had spread everywhere and was rumored to be the reason for her
26:01attendance.
26:02They assumed she was going to cheer Kaitlyn on, and while that was the case, no one, not
26:09even Emma, knew about the surprise Eric had in store.
26:15Luis was in Eric's office, looking over the draft Eric had sent him with a shocked look
26:20on his face.
26:21Sir, you're planning to tell everyone you're Emma's manager at the show?
26:27Are you sure this won't be... too much?
26:30He thought the last part to himself, too afraid to finish the sentence out loud.
26:36A CEO taking on the role of manager was unheard of.
26:41Add in the fact that it was Eric, and the entertainment industry was going to explode
26:47when this came out.
26:49What, you don't think I should announce it?
26:53Eric asked, studying him.
26:56Sir, this will elevate her even more and make her a target for even more schemes and hatred,
27:03he said, worried about her safety.
27:06Eric was a legend, and he knew several people would be jealous and view it as special attention.
27:13Plus, the public will start speculating about your relationship.
27:18They might even connect you to the man in the jewelry commercial.
27:22People most likely face backlash born out of pettiness as well.
27:27You might want to reconsider.
27:30Emma has more than proven her skill and professionalism, and she has plenty of jobs under her belt,
27:37said Eric.
27:39It's only a matter of time before she reaches her goals.
27:43I'm simply clearing the way and letting everyone know that they'll be dealing with more than
27:48just her if they try anything.
27:51I understand your concern, but no one in this industry would dare create rumors about
27:58me.
27:59They'll be shocked and curious, and I'm sure they'll be wondering about our relationship,
28:05but it'll just add to her appeal and create some mystery.
28:11Luis nodded as he took in his thought process.
28:15This was another way for Eric to protect her.
28:18Smiling, he held onto the draft and said,
28:22You're so good to her.
28:25Eric lifted his hand and flashed his wedding ring.
28:29She's my wife.
28:30I want to give her the world.
28:33Don't worry.
28:34I'll handle this and make some preparations.
28:37I can guarantee the entire entertainment industry will be shaken up after your speech, Luis
28:43said, feeling a trace of excitement.
28:47This was going to be the most entertaining award show ever.
28:52Eric was a king protecting his queen, and he wouldn't take any prisoners.
28:59Emma was on the phone with Caitlin a few hours before the ceremony and still had no idea
29:05what Eric had planned.
29:07She and Caitlin had become even closer the last few days and talked every day without
29:13fail.
29:14I sat outside my house all night last night, Caitlin told her, while a makeup artist applied
29:20her makeup.
29:22You're not thinking about taking him back, are you?
29:26She asked as she stood in her closet, trying to decide on a dress.
29:30I spent ten horrible years with him and have learned my lesson.
29:36Trust me, I know better, said Caitlin with a small laugh.
29:41I fell out of love with him years ago.
29:43I stayed out of fear, but now that the truth is out, I'm free of him and the drama that
29:50comes with him.
29:51Good.
29:53You deserve better, said Emma.
29:56You want to walk the red carpet together?
29:58Emma laughed and said, of course, I have to keep the reporters away from you.
30:05After they hung up, Caitlin looked at Helena and asked, is Chris still downstairs?
30:11Uh-huh, Helena said, nodding.
30:15He hasn't moved, and it looks like he's been crying.
30:19She paused before continuing.
30:21He doesn't deserve your forgiveness.
30:24Forgiveness, Caitlin said through gritted teeth.
30:29She looked at herself in the mirror and, even through layers of makeup, saw the pain in
30:34her eyes.
30:36He would have to do a lot more than sit and cry outside my door all night to earn my forgiveness.
30:43That word doesn't even exist to me right now.
30:46He no longer has power over me.
30:49I'm an international supermodel, and I deserve better.
30:54Helena smiled, overjoyed.
30:56That's the spirit.
30:59You can have any man you want.
31:01You don't need him.
31:03I don't have time for abusive jerks.
31:06I hope karma strikes him down and gives him a taste of all the pain he caused me.
31:21Episode 234 An Explosive Entrance
31:27Super Queen was the second award ceremony Emma had attended since she had announced
31:32her comeback.
31:33She'd gone home with a special contribution award when she had attended the annual model
31:38awards, but this time she was just a guest and planned to familiarize herself with the
31:44heads of the modeling industry.
31:47She decided to go with a toned-down look, since Caitlin was the main focus that day.
31:53But Eric and Lisa prepared some clothes for her.
31:57She wore a bat-sleeved collared shirt, a uniquely pleated skirt, and a pair of golden heels
32:03with a decorative bow.
32:05As the two women sat in the company car together, Caitlin looked at her and couldn't help but
32:11point out,
32:12This outfit is different from your usual style.
32:16My manager forced me to wear it.
32:18She said,
32:19It looks good on you, though.
32:21He has good taste.
32:23Caitlin praised.
32:25Emma laughed and changed the topic.
32:28Eric had prepared her entire outfit, even down to her jewelry.
32:33She had a feeling he had something planned, but she had no idea what.
32:39A few minutes later, the two women arrived to bright camera flashes and tons of reporters
32:45outside the car.
32:46They could see plenty of industry heads, actors, and singers making their appearance on the
32:52red carpet, many of whom had been asked to either perform or present awards.
32:58Wow, Caitlin has arrived, and it looks like she's being accompanied by Emma, Kaleidoscope's
33:04newest member.
33:06Lisa got out and opened the door for Caitlin after the host spoke.
33:10Once she stepped out, Lisa started to open Emma's door to let her out when they heard
33:15a shrill scream.
33:18They were all caught by surprise when Chris jumped over the barrier and knelt down in
33:23front of Caitlin.
33:25The reporters were stunned for a second before quickly grabbing their cameras and furiously
33:31snapping away at the ex-couple.
33:34Is he here to beg her forgiveness?
33:37Everyone wondered.
33:38Emma was pissed, and she knew Caitlin was too, but she remained in the van.
33:44She knew Caitlin needed to deal with this on her own.
33:48Caitlin looked beautiful in a long silver dress, long hair falling in waves down her
33:54back and makeup subtle and refined.
33:58Chris knelt in front of her and clung to the hem of her dress.
34:02Caitlin, can you ever forgive me?
34:05I know I was wrong.
34:07I treated you like shit for the past ten years, and you didn't deserve that.
34:12She stared down at him for a couple of seconds before she lifted her head and looked straight
34:18ahead.
34:19Get up, she said.
34:22Have you forgiven me?
34:24No, I never want to see you again.
34:27You're nothing to me, Chris.
34:30I finally healed from everything you did to me and realized my worth.
34:36Sometimes I wish I'd never met you, but you taught me a lot, so for that, I thank you.
34:42But you can keep your apologies.
34:45You're only apologizing because everyone knows the truth about Sarah's death and how you've
34:50treated me.
34:51Otherwise, you'd still be tormenting me.
34:55Maybe one day I'll forgive you, but today's not that day.
35:00Go back to focusing on your true love and leave me alone.
35:04I refuse to waste another second on you, she said before stretching out her arm and pushing
35:11him away.
35:12She turned and helped Emma out of the car.
35:15She glanced at Chris and said, stay away from me or I'll get a restraining order, before
35:21walking hand in hand down the carpet with Emma.
35:25The host subtly gave Caitlin a thumbs up as everyone watched the scene unfold.
35:32That was so cool, and I love that you held hands like a real couple.
35:36You two clearly have a great relationship.
35:39Will you two sign our signature wall?
35:42The host asked.
35:43Chris was still kneeling behind them, but Caitlin didn't look back once.
35:48Marry me, Caitlin.
35:50I love you.
35:52A male fan yelled out, others following suit.
35:56Caitlin looked over and blew them a kiss.
35:59Emma let out a sigh of relief as she watched her.
36:03They had been worried about her for nothing.
36:06She had come out of this stronger and even more confident.
36:11As they entered the hall, she saw that most of the other models and guests had already
36:16arrived.
36:17Unfortunately, they weren't seated next to each other.
36:21Instead, Emma sat next to Giselle Stone and a few others from Star King.
36:27After everything that had happened with Excalibur Q, the two disliked each other and didn't
36:33bother with fake polite greetings.
36:36Giselle received a few awards during the course of the ceremony and purposefully walked back
36:41and forth in front of her.
36:44She shoved a trophy in her face and said, take a good look.
36:48This is the closest you'll ever get to one.
36:51Emma didn't respond as she continued looking straight ahead.
36:56Caitlin is the one receiving an award.
36:57So why are you here?
36:59It must suck to be in her shadow all the time.
37:03Emma finally snapped, unable to hold back her frustration.
37:08You're one to talk.
37:09You couldn't even beat me.
37:11What makes you think you can beat Caitlin?
37:15At least I'm not Caitlin's new servant.
37:17I bet you do whatever she tells you to.
37:20Giselle sneered.
37:22Actions speak louder than words.
37:25Unless you beat us on the runway, your words are meaningless.
37:29Emma replied.
37:31Please, I can beat you in my sleep.
37:34My house is filled with awards.
37:36What do you have?
37:38Giselle smirked, but I'm surprised Caitlin bothered to show.
37:43After all, she was just dumped by a man who cheated on her.
37:47Oops.
37:48I forgot.
37:49So were you.
37:50No wonder you two get along.
37:52After all, you have nothing left.
38:00Episode 235, The Last One Standing.
38:21Giselle was irritated to see that not only did Emma not get angry or snap, but she also
38:28didn't look bothered in the slightest.
38:31Emma simply closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath and replied.
38:37There's no use in trying to attack me.
38:40Apart from her own husband, she'd never met another person with better self-control than
38:46herself.
38:48So there was no way she would fall for Giselle's taunting.
38:52Giselle let out a laugh, realizing she had underestimated Emma.
38:57Oh, Giselle, you just won another award, the host called out.
39:03In fact, she received several awards throughout the night.
39:07However, none of them held any significance.
39:11The big awards went to Caitlin and other supermodels.
39:16As for the title of top-ranked model, this went to Kaleidoscope's other national treasure.
39:22Not only was she a supermodel, but at an early age, she'd already established her
39:27own fashion label and was sitting at the pinnacle of the fashion industry.
39:33It was so rare for her to appear at events like this that even Caitlin barely saw her.
39:40A model from Star King got second place, followed by Caitlin in third.
39:46This ranking highlighted the exceptionally high earning potential these models had.
39:52Domestically, they were already among the wealthiest.
39:56Emma sat quietly as she watched Caitlin walk on stage, feeling elated for her.
40:03Caitlin looked toward her as she began her acceptance speech.
40:06Their eyes met, and a simple exchange of smiles said everything.
40:13As everyone may be aware, a couple of days ago, I was on the brink of falling apart.
40:19Luckily, during that time, one person yanked me out of my downward spiral.
40:25That person is sitting in front of me right now.
40:28Emma Miller.
40:29Her voice was unwavering as she spoke, but tears began rolling down her cheeks.
40:36I'm not sure if you've ever experienced the warmth of another person, but before I met
40:42Emma, I had never experienced such a thing.
40:46Over the course of these long and dark years, the word that popped up in my head the most
40:52was death.
40:54Emma was the one that brought me back to life.
40:57She told me to be persistent, and because of my persistence, I am able to stand on this
41:04stage again.
41:06I believe she is a courageous and loyal person.
41:10If she considers you a friend, she's willing to disregard all repercussions and stand up
41:16for you.
41:17I feel extremely lucky to have met her.
41:21Caitlin placed a hand over her heart as she smiled down at Emma.
41:26While I'm here, I would also like to thank all my brothers and sisters at Kaleidoscope,
41:31and lastly, I would like to thank myself.
41:35From now on, I will lead an amazing life with more meaning, because now I finally feel like
41:42it's my life to live.
41:46Emma watched her finish her speech by kissing her trophy before she led the audience into
41:51a loud applause.
41:53As long as a person had faith, no one and nothing could stop them from being reborn.
42:01Was anyone else feeling a bit emotional after Caitlin's speech?
42:05The host's hand fluttered in front of her face dramatically.
42:10Since Emma's also present, how about we ask Emma and Caitlin to perform something for
42:15us?
42:16Do you guys want to hear a song?
42:18The host asked excitedly.
42:21In response, the host was met with a loud applause.
42:25She smiled.
42:27Seeing Caitlin and Emma both nod in agreement, she continued,
42:31In that case, we'll continue presenting the awards while they go prepare.
42:37In reality, Emma had actually been notified several days prior of the possibility of performing
42:44with Caitlin.
42:45Although singing wasn't one of her fortes, for the sake of celebrating Caitlin's rebirth,
42:51she was happy to let it go this once.
42:55Caitlin was the top choice for receiving awards, and Emma was the hottest topic in
43:00the modeling industry.
43:02With the two women playing the role of heartwarming sisters, they naturally attracted the most
43:08attention.
43:09As a result, Star King received the cold shoulder, especially after finding out the two women
43:16would be singing together.
43:19Giselle placed a dark gaze upon Emma.
43:22While Emma and Caitlin were preparing backstage, Giselle also disappeared from her seat.
43:29Almost no one noticed how long it was before she finally returned.
43:34Once the award ceremony reached its climax, Emma and Caitlin reappeared, each holding
43:40a microphone as they stood on separate sides of the stage.
43:45One was dressed in black and the other in silver as the spotlight shone on the two women.
43:51Contrasting against the anticipation of the crowd, soothing music started resounding through
43:57the hall as they began singing a duet.
44:01To everyone's surprise, Caitlin's voice was beautifully raspy and melancholic, while Emma's
44:09voice was clean, stable, and full of power.
44:13Onlookers were discovering that not only were they professional models, but they could also
44:19sing!
44:21Eric was watching the live broadcast from the office.
44:24As soon as he heard Emma sing, he excitedly ran over to Eric's office and turned on the
44:30television for him.
44:33On the screen, the two figures were dazzling and gorgeous.
44:37Eric watched his wife sing in astonishment, as this was also his first time hearing Emma
44:43sing.
44:45Who would have thought someone like my sweet Emma could sing so nicely, he thought.
44:51Sir, from now on, if Miss Miller doesn't want to do runway shows, she can always release
44:57her own album, Luke suggested.
45:00No, she can't, Eric disagreed.
45:04From now on, only I can hear her sing.
45:07I'll let these guys get away with it just this once.
45:12Luke shrugged, unsurprised at his boss's reaction.
45:17Eric smiled as he closed the documents in his hands.
45:20Notify Luis that it's almost time to make the announcement.
45:25Yes sir, Luke nodded as he turned to leave the room.
45:29Eric leaned one arm on his desk as he watched Emma and Caitlin singing on the screen.
45:35Emma's mesmerizing, emotion-filled voice was indeed moving.
45:41He suddenly laughed to himself.
45:44After this song, would someone really consider producing an album for his wife?
45:50At the award ceremony, the two women reached the end of their song.
45:55The entire hall was amazed as they erupted in applause.
46:00Caitlin and Emma looked at each other happily.
46:03After the lights switched off, they planned to meet in the middle of the stage to thank
46:08the audience.
46:09However, a man wearing a cap suddenly rushed onto the stage and tackled Emma.
46:16Since she was already close to the edge, the attack was enough to knock her off the stage
46:21entirely.
46:24Everything happened too unexpectedly.
46:26The entire hall turned into chaos as everyone broke out into an uproar.
46:32The man wearing the cap quickly jumped off the stage and ran off behind the crowd of
46:37fans, security chasing after him.
46:40Meanwhile, Caitlin jumped off the stage to check on Emma.
46:45She found her lying motionless on the floor.
46:49Emma?
46:49She shook her shoulders.
46:51Emma?
46:53After a few seconds, Emma woke up.
46:56With the help of the crowd, she got up and sat in one of the guests' seats.
47:02Are you okay?
47:04Caitlin asked anxiously.
47:06Emma nodded her head.
47:08Deep down, she was more concerned about whether Eric had seen what happened.
47:13Caitlin analyzed her expression as she held onto her knee, not believing her in the slightest.
47:20She quickly stood up to call an ambulance, but Emma grabbed her by the wrist.
47:26Don't blow up this situation.
47:28I'm honestly okay.
47:30Let's just catch the culprit first.
