00:00They mocked her for being fat and ugly.
00:04Her fiancé abandoned her because he was disgusted to look at her.
00:08A few years later, she returned as a prestigious neurosurgeon to get her revenge.
00:19You're pregnant.
00:20What?
00:21That can't be true. I'm a virgin.
00:24We ran all the tests. It must be some sort of miracle.
00:28Congratulations.
00:31But...
00:33My father...
00:36He's going to kick me out of the house.
00:39Let's check again. It must be a mistake. I'm only fat.
00:42Calm down.
00:45You really are pregnant.
00:47Then let's get rid of the problem.
00:49Take it easy.
00:50No, let's just do it.
00:51Take a deep breath. I really need you to calm down.
00:55No, please. Let's just do it.
00:57Unfortunately, this is no longer an option in your case.
01:00Why? Because I'm too young?
01:03You're 19.
01:05However, with your physiology, this could lead to infertility in the future.
01:10Come on. Take a seat.
01:18Everything is going to be alright.
01:21Take a deep breath. Calm down.
01:23Nurse?
01:28Everything is going to be alright.
01:30At that moment, I thought my life was over.
01:32But it was just the beginning.
01:36I can't believe it.
01:37Tell me who did this to you.
01:39I'm telling you the truth, Dad.
01:41I don't know what's wrong with me.
01:42Don't lie.
01:43I need to know who the father of the child is.
01:46I don't know, Dad. There is no father.
01:49Then you don't have a father either.
01:51What?
01:52Tell me the truth.
01:54How did you get pregnant?
01:56Daddy, I don't know. It's not my fault.
01:59Then get rid of it.
02:01It's too late. I'm already in my second trimester.
02:04That's bulls**t.
02:12Try to come up with a better excuse before your fiancé gets here.
02:16You don't need an excuse, Mr. Smith.
02:18Mr. Gray, please don't be mad.
02:21There's been a mistake.
02:24There's been a mistake. I'll take care of it.
02:27Too late. I've already made my mind up.
02:30Anthony, listen to me.
02:32No, you listen to me.
02:33I am sick of looking at her pig face.
02:35And now she's pregnant with another man's baby?
02:38This is my half-sister, Angela.
02:40And she's very unhappy that my father wants me to marry Anthony.
02:46You are so ugly.
02:49And pregnant.
02:51And engaged.
02:53I have no interest in becoming a hero.
02:56Why would I take on that responsibility?
02:59Come on, it's just us.
03:01Sisters.
03:02How'd you get pregnant?
03:04Because it would fix a lot of our problems.
03:06And you know what I mean.
03:08You want to fix the problem?
03:12Have a drink.
03:14Fine.
03:16I'll marry your daughter.
03:18Anthony, that's beautiful.
03:21On one condition.
03:24Get rid of that baby.
03:26What? No, that's impossible.
03:28I know.
03:29I know about your doctor's little verdict.
03:32But that child doesn't belong with us.
03:34No, you have no right.
03:36Don't worry, Anthony.
03:38I've already taken care of everything.
03:40You'll have a baby.
03:42But we'll give it to a special orphanage.
03:46No, that's horrible.
03:48What has money done to you?
03:50Is your greed worth more than your grandchild?
03:52Is it?
03:55My stomach.
03:59Laura.
04:00You've got to be kidding me.
04:07Laura.
04:11Nine years have passed.
04:13Time has changed me a lot.
04:16I have little in common with that frightened 19-year-old girl of the past.
04:21Except...
04:22Mom, you're so beautiful.
04:24Thanks, baby.
04:26Like you.
04:28Mom, are we flying to the States to find my daddy?
04:31Cherry, come on.
04:33I've explained this to you.
04:37You don't have a daddy.
04:40But everyone has a father.
04:42I should have one too.
04:44Our conversation is over.
04:46Come on.
04:47Well then, if not my dad, then at least we'll find my brother?
04:52Yes, honey.
04:53We will.
04:54We will.
04:56Now, go grab your bags.
04:59Okay.
05:05After I gave birth to twins and ran away from home with the baby my father didn't steal,
05:11I completely changed who I was.
05:17Now my name is Athena.
05:19In my past life, I was just a tool for my family to make more money.
05:23But now, I can stand up for not only myself, but for my children.
05:33Hello?
05:34Athena, you have got to be more careful, you hear me?
05:37Spike, what's the matter?
05:39Justin Hunt is running a global search to find out who you are.
05:42Do you have any idea how dangerous he and his family are?
05:45He won't let up until he finds you.
05:47Spike, listen.
05:48No, you listen.
05:49You've been overseas all this time.
05:50That's the only reason you've been able to avoid him.
05:53You're the most prestigious surgeon.
05:55You could just cure his grandmother and be done with it.
05:57Hunt's family is very influential in the business world, but it's complicated.
06:02If I get involved with the Hunts, I'll be drawn into the struggle for power and inheritance.
06:07And why should I stick my nose into the business of some other family's public affairs?
06:12Athena, you're wrong.
06:13Let's talk about this.
06:14No.
06:15No, Spike.
06:16I'm sick of it.
06:17I just want to find my son and be okay.
06:20Now I have to go to the airport.
06:21Athena.
06:22Bye, Spike.
06:23Athena!
06:29I didn't expect anyone to meet me.
06:31And I didn't really want to see anyone at all.
06:34But my fiancé, Anthony, was waiting for me.
06:37What time is it?
06:383 p.m., sir.
06:39God damn it.
06:40Where is this freaking woman?
06:41Mr. Gray, I advise you to refrain from doing things that are too unpleasant, as your father told you to do.
06:46Even if you are breaking up a relationship.
06:47Shut up, will you?
06:48Just shut up, all right?
06:49Tell me what to do.
06:50I thought I'd even seen this ugly woman puts me in a bad mood.
06:53I bet she looks even worse now.
06:57I wonder, will he recognize me?
07:05Wow, hello, beautiful.
07:07What's your name?
07:09Nora Smith.
07:11Are you waiting for her?
07:13No, sweetheart, I am not.
07:15Nothing to do with that ugly woman.
07:17I don't even want to see her.
07:19Then you're probably blind, sir.
07:21What?
07:22Why?
07:23Come on, baby, we gotta go.
07:25He didn't realize I was Nora.
07:28Anthony remained the same unfriendly man as I always remembered him.
07:33Hey, sweetheart, what's your name?
07:39You know, if Nora was half as beautiful as that girl, I might consider the marriage.
07:44Maybe.
07:46All right, give me the sign.
07:50And the flowers.
07:51I'll even pay you for it.
08:03Hello, Dad.
08:09Why aren't you picking up the phone?
08:10Where are you?
08:11Dad, I...
08:12Why do you have to arouse the whole family and then disappear again?
08:15Dad, it won't be long.
08:16Won't be long?
08:17You're the one who made all that fuss about breaking off the engagement.
08:20Come here and stop wasting our time.
08:34Hi.
08:35Oh, God, sorry, baby.
08:38Let me help you.
08:39I'm not a baby.
08:41I'm an adult, and even I need help sometimes, too.
08:45Do you like reading?
08:46Yes.
08:47Me, too.
08:48That's cool.
08:51Sorry I didn't see you.
08:52It's okay.
08:53My dad and I are running late, which is why I was in a rush.
08:56This child, his eyes seem so familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen them.
09:03I gotta get going, but I'll see you around?
09:07Bye.
09:08Bye.
09:10I didn't know who it was.
09:13Are you gonna go soon?
09:14Yes, Dad.
09:15But even then, I knew that this meeting was fateful.
09:27She's so ugly.
09:29No.
09:30Go tell Anne.
09:31Do it.
09:32She'll love it.
09:33Stop it, Gina.
09:34Yeah, tell her that funny joke again.
09:36I'm telling you, Nora's not ugly.
09:38We know what she looks like.
09:39No, she's not.
09:40She's prettier than both of you.
09:44Well, if you really think your cousin is so beautiful, I suggest you prove it.
09:50And if you can prove it, I'll eat this picture.
09:54I'll eat this picture.
09:57And if you can't, you eat it.
10:01You must be joking.
10:03I see.
10:04You're just a coward.
10:05You're just as ugly as Nora.
10:08Come on.
10:09Eat it, Lisa.
10:10Eat it.
10:11Yeah, eat it.
10:12Eat it, Dawn.
10:13Are you kidding me?
10:14Eat it.
10:15Eat it.
10:16Eat it.
10:17It's so yummy.
10:19Oh.
10:20What do you think?
10:21Do you like it?
10:22Oh, may I?
10:23Let's wish Angela Smith a happy birthday.
10:25I'm going to ruin you.
10:26Who the hell are you?
10:27Girls, what's going on here?
10:28Me?
10:29I'm Nora.
10:30Nora Smith.
10:31No.
10:32It can't be.
10:33It can.
10:34It can.
10:35It can.
10:36It can.
10:37It can.
10:38It can.
10:39It can.
10:40It can.
10:41It can.
10:42It can.
10:43It can.
10:44It can.
10:45It can.
10:46It can.
10:47It can.
10:48You bet it can.
10:52Oh, Nora.
10:55I can't believe it.
10:58Nora.
10:59Nora's back.
11:00Oh my.
11:02I'm so happy to see you.
11:03There's no need to put on a show, Angela.
11:06A bet is a bet.
11:07So, are you going to eat my picture?
11:10Shut up, both of you.
11:12Nora, what do you think you're doing?
11:14I waited all these years for you to do this.
11:16Okay, guys, let's not make a big scene here.
11:19Henry, let's go into your office.
11:21You can talk to your daughter there.
11:26Okay.
11:27Enjoy.
11:28Have fun.
11:45Okay.
11:46Nora, honey.
11:47Do you remember why you came here?
11:49You came to break off your engagement with Anthony.
11:52You're right, Dad.
11:53And I don't care about any of your businesses.
11:56Because I'm going to do it no matter what.
11:58All right.
11:59Whatever you say.
12:01What?
12:02Just like that?
12:04Yeah.
12:05We've all been waiting a long time for that since Anthony found himself another girl.
12:10He probably did it again for the money.
12:13God, what a clever boy.
12:14I'm so happy for him.
12:16Actually, he loves me.
12:19What?
12:20Anthony in love?
12:22Are you kidding me?
12:23It's absurd.
12:24I didn't expect it, sis.
12:26Thank you for bringing such good news for my birthday.
12:29But I would have liked a better present from you.
12:32You almost got everything you wanted.
12:34What more do you want?
12:36Here.
12:37Sign.
12:38What is it?
12:39This is a donation of your stock in the company.
12:46It's the memory of my mother.
12:48Of your wife, Dad.
12:50Ex-wife.
12:54Sorry.
12:55You know, I couldn't give this to you even if I wanted to.
12:58They belong to me.
13:00By inheritance.
13:01Before you couldn't.
13:02Now you can.
13:03The inheritance papers expired just two years ago.
13:07So it's simple.
13:08You want a divorce?
13:09You sign the papers and you're free.
13:11I'm not going to do it.
13:13Come on, Nora.
13:15I believe in you.
13:16I'm not going to do it.
13:17No matter what.
13:19Are you going to stop her?
13:20You need it.
13:21You bring her back.
13:28Get back here right now.
13:30Leave me alone.
13:31Just tell me the truth.
13:32Are you going to try to get Anthony back?
13:34Is this the real reason why you're here?
13:36Get out of my face.
13:38Don't lie to me.
13:39I see right through you.
13:40You are so shameless.
13:42Don't even think Anthony will take you back just because you get a little less ugly.
13:47He would never marry someone like you.
13:53You ruined yourself with that baby.
13:55Where's your little freak now, huh?
13:57Or did you finally give up on her like your father gave up on you?
14:02If you say one more thing about my daughter, that slap will feel like a gentle stroke.
14:09Happy, happy birthday, Angela.
14:11Cheers.
14:17This has all been so unbearable.
14:19I can't get Angela's words out of my head.
14:22It's like I'm back to who I was.
14:24But I really don't know how I got pregnant nine years ago.
14:28All that remains is to find out the truth.
14:38What's going on?
14:39Oh, my God.
14:40It's Justin Hunt.
14:41I only saw him from behind earlier.
14:43I didn't know.
14:44And that little boy turns out to be his son.
14:48Ladies, can we please drop the phone?
14:50No, please.
14:51Ladies, step aside.
14:52It's just some pictures.
14:53Where is he going?
14:54I think he's a little late, no?
14:55Oh, I heard that his kids are here.
14:56No pictures.
14:57Please, ladies, no pictures.
14:58Now it's clear what all the fuss is about.
15:01Hunt's family was afraid that the media would try to take pictures of their youngest child.
15:05And it might cause trouble for them.
15:07But there could be trouble for me, too.
15:10What if he finds out I'm Athena?
15:12Miss Smith?
15:14Yes?
15:16Stay away from my son.
15:18Besides, you're not my type.
15:23That's it.
15:24Go about your business.
15:34Mr. Hunt, can we go?
15:36What are you talking about?
15:38That woman.
15:39I saw the way she was talking to my son.
15:42You want me to go with you?
15:45I saw the way she was talking to my son.
15:47You want me to go back and have a proper chat with her?
15:50No.
15:51That's the thing, Pete.
15:53He usually avoids women.
15:55He's a super shy kid, but not this time.
15:58It's kind of weird.
16:00Sir?
16:01What do you want us to do now, sir?
16:05Nothing.
16:06Yet.
16:09We'll see.
16:10Let's go.
16:15That slap sounded like it really hurt.
16:17It did.
16:18Happy birthday, darling.
16:20What took you so long?
16:22I had some business to take care of.
16:28Okay, may we, uh...
16:30Nora was here.
16:32Are you sure?
16:33Yeah.
16:34Okay.
16:35Let's go.
16:36Yeah.
16:45Did she hit you?
16:50Did she refuse to call off the engagement?
16:53All right.
16:54Where is she? I will deal with her.
16:56No, no, no, no, no.
16:57No, Anthony.
17:00There's no need, okay?
17:03She just...
17:05She just doesn't want to give up the company, okay?
17:07This isn't about you.
17:09But don't worry, I'll convince her...
17:12Eventually.
17:15Okay.
17:18You know, we have to get this company for people to support our engagement.
17:24But...
17:26I will let you handle this.
17:29I don't want to see her horrible face anyways.
17:32I bet she got even uglier when she was away, didn't she?
17:37You don't have to worry about seeing her face ever again.
17:40I'll sort it out, I promise.
17:42Great.
18:05Hello, Mr. Gray.
18:06Did you find that woman I asked for?
18:08I'm sorry, sir, but we're working on it.
18:10Are you sure it's worth the effort?
18:12Are you kidding me?
18:14I need you to listen to me carefully, all right?
18:16She's all I've been thinking about this whole time.
18:19It'd be great if I could marry her instead of Angela.
18:21So I need you to tell me her name.
18:23Now.
18:24Mr. Gray, I couldn't find out the identity of your mystery woman.
18:27But I did find the hotel where she's staying.
18:31What are you waiting for?
18:33Send it to me right now.
18:39Solo, give me everything you can find on Idealian Pharmaceuticals.
18:43And fast.
18:44Hey, watch your tone, Athena.
18:46You can't just boss me around because you saved my life.
18:49I'm the number one hacker in the world, and I deserve respect.
18:52Solo, please.
18:54And be quick about it.
18:56I don't run errands for nothing.
18:58Name a fair price, and we'll see.
18:59How's that?
19:00Sure.
19:01How much is the cost of your life?
19:03I don't know.
19:05Sure.
19:06How much is the cost of your life?
19:08Your life that I saved.
19:12Okay, get on your computer.
19:14Alright, right now your email's going to have information on Idealian Pharmaceuticals.
19:19It's the company that Nora Smith's mom left behind when she died.
19:23Nora was just a child then, so the company was handled by a special manager.
19:28In all that time, she didn't take much interest in the company.
19:31There's something fishy going on here.
19:33Why is everyone chasing this company?
19:35Of course it's fishy. It's not just the company that's being hunted.
19:38What? What are you talking about?
19:40I got a message from Mr. Hunt.
19:42Very interesting.
19:44He offered me money to find out whether you were a man or a woman.
19:47Athena, you're in trouble.
19:49Damn it.
19:50Yeah, what are you going to do?
19:53I want you to send him a message from me.
19:55Okay.
19:56Okay.
20:04Mr. Hunt, may I come in?
20:08Lawrence, yes, hello.
20:11Uh, Mr. Hunt, you have a message from Solo.
20:16Oh, good.
20:19There's a message from Dr. Athena.
20:23What is it? Read it to me.
20:25I'm going to read it verbatim.
20:27Um, Dr. Athena asks,
20:29Mr. Hunt, I...
20:31Lawrence, come on. Read it.
20:35Mr. Hunt, are you in a rush to find me because you need urgent brain surgery?
20:39Is there a picture of the doctor in there?
20:41Yes.
20:42Show it to me. Show me the picture.
20:44Uh, yes, sir.
20:58Miss Smith?
20:59Yes?
21:00Stay away from my son.
