00:00I now declare you divorced.
00:03No!
00:05I know what you're thinking.
00:07Emma, 50% of marriages end in divorce. Don't be so dramatic.
00:11Wrong. This percentage is so outdated. It's 80% now.
00:15Also, I'm not upset because my parents are getting a divorce, but because...
00:18Wait, wait. I'm getting ahead of myself.
00:20Let me start from the beginning.
00:22And make sure you like this video and subscribe to MSA.
00:24I was born in a very poor country.
00:27But luckily, my parents were entrepreneurial geniuses.
00:30They built a business empire early on,
00:32so I never had a taste of real poverty like others here
00:35and was practically raised with a golden spoon in my mouth.
00:38Mom doted on me and was super attentive,
00:40but Dad wasn't around much, so we'd never grown close.
00:43And when I was 11, he just announced out of the blue that he wanted a divorce
00:47and was moving to the U.S.
00:49He left just like that, without even paying child support.
00:52The most traumatic part was that he took our wealth and my lifestyle with him.
00:56And I had to eventually give up all the expensive stuff that had made me who I was.
01:01What do you mean, let's go eat hot dogs in the park?
01:04We're not hobos.
01:06Should we be sleeping on park benches next?
01:08And using newspapers for blankets?
01:11I'm just saying, we can hang out and not spend money all the time.
01:15But apparently, we couldn't.
01:17And that's the first time I noticed I had no real friends around me.
01:21I switched to a public school, which was so stinky and embarrassing.
01:25Can I have one locale lobster, please?
01:28Oh, yes, of course, m'lady. One second.
01:32Oops, guess we ran out of those.
01:34Mashed potatoes and greasy chicken on Mondays. Remember it.
01:37It was a hard reality check, but over time, I learned a lot and got really street smart.
01:42Do you have seafood today?
01:44Mashed potatoes and greasy chicken on Mondays, sweet pea. Remember it.
01:48By the time I graduated from high school,
01:50I was a strong, savage girl who would not let anyone cross her.
01:54I had saved up for a flight to the U.S., and I was ready for revenge.
01:58Daddy, here I come.
02:00Dad was the owner of a huge restaurant chain here, so he was easy to locate.
02:04I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do yet,
02:06but I wanted to get close and find some dirt on him that I could use.
02:09And even though I was 99.9% sure he wouldn't recognize me,
02:13I'd still gotten a serious makeover to avoid the risk.
02:17Hi, I'm Emily. Are you looking for waitresses?
02:20Yes, we are hiring. We'd be happy to try you out.
02:23And so, I began working there with no clear plan in sight.
02:26I just knew a salary didn't qualify for revenge or even child support.
02:31One day, as I was polishing the cutlery in the kitchen,
02:33I heard Katie crying while she was on the phone with someone who was clearly yelling at her.
02:38Poor Katie. Her husband is a nut job.
02:42This happens often. Why is he yelling at her?
02:44It's probably something to do with work. He is the boss, after all.
02:49The boss? As in...
02:51Yep, that's his wife.
02:53Wife? He remarried? I must have fainted.
02:57Cause the next thing I knew, I was lying on the floor and Colin was checking my pulse.
03:01Gee, you scared me.
03:03What happened?
03:04I said Katie was the boss' wife and you went pale and fainted.
03:08So you tell me what happened.
03:10Oh, I think I just didn't drink enough water today, that's all.
03:14Um, sure, okay.
03:16Colin and I became the closest co-workers.
03:19He sort of became like a guardian angel to me.
03:21Your lunch today has all the nutrition you need.
03:24Can't have you faint in my kitchen again.
03:26Although...
03:28Although what?
03:29Well, I haven't performed CPR in ages.
03:32I might need a refreshment course.
03:34You know that doesn't count as a kiss, right? It only makes you a creep.
03:38Emily, you pervert! How dare you go there?
03:41I was merely suggesting you help me practice a life-saving technique.
03:46Ha ha ha.
03:47Colin, you know, if you want, you can ask me out like a normal human being.
03:51As I was walking back home that evening, grinning from ear to ear that I finally had a boyfriend who seemed to like me for me,
03:59I remembered that he actually didn't know the real me.
04:02He didn't know my name was Emma or that our boss was my dad.
04:05Over the next few weeks, I kept looking for an opportunity to tell him, but there never seemed to be a right time.
04:11One day, Katie told us there was an extra shift available for a waitress at their house because they were hosting a party,
04:17and I jumped at the opportunity.
04:19Bingo.
04:20As I entered their mansion that evening, I felt a sense of nostalgia, and a realization dawned on me.
04:26Dad's life hadn't stopped or changed like mine after he'd moved on.
04:30He didn't actually lose anything.
04:32For him, Mom and I were just a pit stop.
04:34Magnificent, isn't it?
04:36Oh, hey, yeah, it really is.
04:39When we went inside, Katie welcomed us warmly.
04:42She was always kind, but in her home, she seemed more warm and maternal.
04:46It felt like we were guests, not employees.
04:49Kids, come show Emily around and put her bag in the locker rooms.
04:53Hey, Emily, nice to meet you.
04:55Hi.
04:56As they showed me around, I felt like they were living the life that was stolen from me.
05:01What a lovely house.
05:03Oh, you've won so many math and art competitions, I see.
05:06Did your mom take you to all of these?
05:09Both Mom and Dad.
05:10They never miss a competition.
05:12Oh, Dad too?
05:13That's nice.
05:14My dad never took me to anything.
05:16Oh, I'm sorry, Emily.
05:18I'm sure he was just busy.
05:20Dad is busy sometimes, but he always makes it up to us.
05:23So, he did know how to be a real dad.
05:26What did these kids have that I didn't?
05:28Why couldn't he love me like he loved them?
05:30I sat in the locker room alone, staring at the wall and just overthinking every memory I had of us.
05:36When Colin came in, and suddenly I just burst into tears.
05:39Emily, what's wrong?
05:41Colin, I have to tell you something.
05:43And I found myself spilling my whole story and the reason I came to work for Dad.
05:48I spared no detail.
05:50Colin's mouth had dropped to the floor.
05:52He was silent for a few seconds after I finished, then looked up at me.
05:55Honestly, good for you.
05:57What?
05:58You're not upset that I lied to you?
06:00No one knows this, but my real name is Samson.
06:03I hated it and hated my parents too.
06:06So, I changed it and I left home at 18.
06:08I wouldn't say the real me is Samson, who was an angry teen at home.
06:12Colin is who I choose to be every day.
06:15So, that's who I really am.
06:16He was so right.
06:18The decisions I make daily were what defined me.
06:20Know what?
06:21He deserves anything bad that comes his way.
06:24I want in.

09:22the room well to make myself familiar with it, then left.
09:24Since it was the holiday season, I'd
09:26have plenty of waitressing opportunities at his house
09:28to sneak in again.
09:29I'd noticed that he had a safe in his office,
09:31and every time I snuck in, I tried
09:33every possible four-digit combination I could think of.
09:36His kids' birthdays, his wife's, his own, but nothing worked.
09:40Until one day, I randomly tried my birthday,
09:43and the lock clicked open.
09:45Wow.
09:46Now, that's a surprise.
09:47Did he still think about me?
09:49Maybe he did love me.
09:51For a minute, I felt guilty and didn't
09:53want to go on with my plan.
09:54But then I remembered, if he actually loved me,
09:58he would have recognized me by now.
09:59So no, he probably used my birthday
10:02because it was the last thing anyone would ever
10:04know or think of.
10:05Thanks again, Daddy.
10:07Inside, I saw piles and piles of money.
10:10I wanted to snatch it all and run back home,
10:13but I knew that only works in movies.
10:15Instead, I started stealing small portions.
10:18I did not feel any guilt.
10:20Dad was plain awful to everyone around him,
10:23including his own wife.
10:24Then one day, he surprised us with a visit at the restaurant.
10:27What are you doing here, dear?
10:30Well, it's my restaurant, isn't it?
10:32I'm here to check if everything is running smoothly.
10:35That's what I'm here for.
10:37Why can't you let me run the restaurant
10:39without constantly trying to control everything?
10:41Listen here, pretty face.
10:43I know you got bored as a housewife
10:45and you want to play manager, but I have real work to do here.
10:49So why don't you go for a stroll as I check everything out?
10:52No, this is un-
10:53I wasn't asking.
10:55Katie stormed out of the restaurant on the verge of tears
10:58as he continued to check everything up close.
11:01Everyone was terrified of him, especially me.
11:04You over there.
11:05Me?
11:06This was the first time he had spoken to me directly in years.
11:10Yes, what's your name?
11:11I felt sweaty and tongue-tied, but then I
11:13felt Colin moving and standing behind me.
11:16He put his hand on my shoulder to let me know he had my back.
11:19I'm Emily, sir.
11:20Emily.
11:22Are you new here?
11:23Been here a few months now, sir.
11:25I-
11:26Just then, two shady-looking men walked into the restaurant
11:29and saved me from the investigation.
11:31Dad left me alone and followed them
11:33into a small room at the back of the restaurant.
11:35Sometime later, the head cook was called in, too.
11:38And when he walked out, he looked flustered.
11:40An hour later, Dad and the shady men came out of the room,
11:43shook hands, and then all of them left.
11:45What's that all about?
11:47I'll try to find out.
11:48Later that night, I just couldn't fall asleep.
11:51My dad had looked me in the eye, talked to me,
11:53and he didn't recognize me at all.
11:55How do you recover from that?
11:57The next day, Colin came rushing to me, looking ready to burst.
12:01Emma, we got it.
12:02Really?
12:03What did you find out?
12:04Yesterday, he made a deal to import illegal seafood.
12:07He wants to use that in dishes without disclosing it
12:09to customers.
12:11The head chef and sous chef are in on it.
12:13I overheard them talking.
12:14Bingo.
12:15I knew he'd be up to something crooked.
12:17Now we have to think of a plan to expose him.
12:19I wanted to teach him a lesson and also
12:22see if he would flee and leave his new family when
12:24things got rough for him.
12:26But later that day, his kids came in for lunch,
12:28and they had prepared holiday gifts for the staff.
12:31My gift had a special drawing of me.
12:33No one else had one.
12:35Oh, that's, thank you.
12:37It's lovely.
12:38The kids love you, Emily.
12:40They keep saying how you treat them like normal kids,
12:42not the boss's kids.
12:44When she said this, I had a flashback to my own childhood,
12:47a lonely, spoiled kid with no real friends.
12:50No one treated me like a normal kid when he was around.
12:53Just a few days later, when I was working at his house again,
12:56Dad came barging into the kitchen furiously.
12:59He had discovered that someone had
13:00been stealing from his safe.
13:02Count your days, whoever you are.
13:04Did you think that a house this big
13:06doesn't have security cameras?
13:08Once I get the tapes, it's over for you.
13:10OMG, security cameras?
13:13My face turned green, and I felt nauseous.
13:15What's wrong with you?
13:17Don't you dare puke in my kitchen.
13:19I'm kind of sick, sir.
13:20How often do you come to my house?
13:23I've come a few times.
13:24Maybe you stumbled into my study,
13:26found something you liked.
13:28Answer me.
13:29Excuse me, sir?
13:30Stop.
13:31Stop grilling this poor girl.
13:33She would never do it.
13:34How can you be so sure?
13:36Because I've asked her to grab me things from my room
13:38a million times, and she never touched
13:41any jewelry or clothes.
13:43So if she wanted to steal, she would
13:44have stolen a hundred different things by now.
13:47Everyone was staring at the three of us confused,
13:49but not as confused as I was.
13:51Nothing that Katie said was true.
13:54Why was she defending me?
13:55Katie, these kinds of people don't deserve your kindness.
13:58We'll wait for the tapes in the meantime.
14:01These kind of people?
14:02It echoed over and over in my head
14:05how I wanted to say, your daughter.
14:08Flesh and blood, Dad.
14:09But I held my tongue.
14:11I suffered that humiliation, but I never
14:14showed up to the restaurant again.
14:15I texted Katie that I just couldn't work there anymore.
14:18I had stolen enough money, but I wasn't done with my revenge
14:21yet.
14:21Colin had managed to take photos of receipts
14:23in the cook's office, and it was all
14:25the proof I needed about Dad's illegal seafood purchases.
14:29I could go public and destroy him, and I would enjoy it.
14:33But at the same time, whenever I imagined his downfall,
14:36I only saw his kids being upset or hurt.
14:39And every time they popped up in my head,
14:41an image of my broken, younger self also popped up.
14:45Colin, I want him to suffer badly,
14:47but I feel if I go through with this,
14:49I'll be putting his family through what
14:51Mom and I went through, and I would feel guilty forever.
14:55I don't know what to do.
14:56Baby, just by considering their feelings and future,
14:59you are already 100 times better than your dad.
15:02It's your decision.
15:04Do what feels most right to you.
15:05And after much consideration, I decided
15:08to put the matter into someone else's hands.
15:10I asked Katie to meet me at a diner that night.
15:12Hello, Emma.
15:14Uh-oh, that's a bad start.
15:16I figured out your identity shortly after hiring you,
15:20and I wondered why you had chose to work for us.
15:22Now I know.
15:23You stole that money from us to get back at your dad.
15:26But don't worry, I destroyed the tapes.
15:29But then why did you defend me?
15:31Emma, once I figured out who you were, I dug into his history
15:35and found out everything about you and your mom.
15:38Your dad is a jerk.
15:39He deserves this.
15:41Why are you with him then?
15:43For the money?
15:43You deserve so much better.
15:46The kids deserve so much better.
15:48I don't care about the money, but I
15:49don't want my children to go through what
15:51you guys went through.
15:53I want to wait until they're older before getting a divorce.
15:55He is a mean husband and partner,
15:58but I can't deny that he is a great dad to the kids.
16:01I understand.
16:02But in case you change your mind, take this.
16:04Do as you please with this information.
16:06Katie's eyes grew wide as she realized I'd
16:09handed her proof against dad.
16:11I didn't know about this.
16:12Thanks, Emma.
16:13A few months later, I saw on the news that dad was in prison
16:16and his restaurant license had been taken away because he
16:19was importing illegal food.
16:21And the same day, I got a text message from Katie.
16:24Thanks again, Emma.
16:25I needed it.
