00:00My fiancé brutally body shamed me in front of my family.
00:03He always called me a fat pig and mocked me every time.
00:06The worst came when my fiancé ditched me two hours before our wedding,
00:10just because I was fat.
00:11Now, nine years later, we meet again,
00:14and he is unaware that his life is going to flip 180 degrees.
00:19Hello, beautiful.
00:21What's your name?
00:24Are you waiting for a nursemaid?
00:26Oh, no, I have nothing to do with this horrible individual.
00:32I don't even want to see her.
00:34Any problems in blind, sir?
00:36Blind? Why?
00:38Anthony didn't realize I was the same Nora he cheated on
00:41with my stepsister Angela nine years ago,
00:44and that too on our engagement day.
00:47How could I forget the day I was humiliated,
00:49called fat and ugly,
00:51and nearly beaten to death?
00:53What's worse?
00:55Getting dumped by the country's most eligible bachelor,
00:58or still being a set...
01:03My nightmare began the day my mother died,
01:05and my shameless father married his mistress before her burial.
01:09He brought his new wife and her cruel daughter into my life,
01:12and together they tormented me.
01:14I have a message for my mother.
01:16What message?
01:19I'm going to make your life a living hell.
01:22My stepmother forced me to take unknown pills that wrecked my body,
01:26making me fat and dull.
01:29My own father hated me as my face reminded him of my mother.
01:33When I finally found some love in Anthony,
01:35he too cheated on me with my stepsister.
01:38But what truly shattered me was my mysterious pregnancy.
01:42I was a v... yet I became pregnant with twins.
01:46Was it a miracle or a cruel scheme by someone who wanted to destroy me?
01:50My father demanded I abort the baby, but I couldn't.
01:53I ran, gave birth, and while I was unconscious,
01:57he stole my baby boy, leaving me with only my daughter.
02:01I searched for my son, never knowing my father was behind it.
02:04To escape my evil family's torture, I fled the city with my daughter.
02:09I raised her all alone and worked hard to become a renowned surgeon.
02:13The girl they nearly killed rose like a phoenix.
02:16The timid, bullied Nora has transformed into Dr. Athena,
02:20a powerful woman who fears no one.
02:23Mom, you're so beautiful.
02:26Thanks, baby. Like you.
02:28Mom, are we flying to the States to find my daddy?
02:33I told you that you don't have a daddy.
02:35But everyone has a father, and I should have one.
02:39This conversation is over. Come on.
02:42Well, if not daddy, we should find my brother, at least.
02:49Yes, honey, we will.
02:51Nine years have passed, but I still don't have an answer for my baby girl
02:56whenever she asks me about her father and brother.
02:59But now I am back to face those who erased my existence,
03:02to take revenge on those who ruined my childhood and killed my mother.
03:07Most importantly, I am going to find my father.
03:10I am going to find my stolen son.
03:14Athena, you have to be more careful.
03:17What's the matter?
03:19Justin Han is running a global search to find out who are you.
03:24Do you know how famous he and his family are?
03:26You won't be able to run away anymore.
03:28I'm sick of it.
03:31I just want to find my son and that soul, and everything will be as I decide.
03:37Nothing can stop me from finding my son.
03:39No threat, no warning.
03:41But now it's time to meet the real devils of my story.
03:44My own family.
03:51Hello, dad.
03:53Why aren't you picking up the phone?
03:55Where are you?
03:57Why do you have to rouse the whole family and then disappear again?
04:02I won't be alone.
04:04I won't be alone.
04:07You're the one that made all that fuss about breaking off the engagement.
04:11Come here and stop wasting our time.
04:34I'm sorry, baby.
04:37Let me help you.
04:38I'm not a baby.
04:40I'm an adult too, but even I need help sometimes.
04:46Do you like reading?
04:47Yes.
04:49Me too.
04:52This is cool.
04:53Okay.
04:55Sorry, I didn't see you.
04:57It's okay.
04:58My dad and I are running late, which is why I left my backpack open.
05:03So, young man, I need to go.
05:06That's why bye and see you later.
05:09Bye.
05:09Bye.
05:12This child, his eyes seemed so familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen them.
05:23Hey, dear.
05:28Are you ready?
05:29Yes, dad.
05:30Let's go.
05:34Guys, look at her.
05:45Tell ugly joke of yours again.
05:49I'm telling you, Nora is not ugly.
05:57No, she's not.
06:04Oh, well, if you really think your cousin is beautiful, I suggest you prove it.
06:19If you can't prove it, I will eat this picture.
06:27But if you can't, you eat it.
06:31You must be joking.
06:34Oh, I see.
06:37You wanted to seem nobler than you are.
06:41You're just a coward.
06:46You're as ugly as Nora.
06:49Come on, be a good girl.
06:52Eat it.
06:54Eat.
06:55Eat.
06:56Eat.
06:56Eat.
06:57Eat.

07:04Eat.
07:05Eat.
07:05What do you think?
07:33Do you like it?
07:36Let's wish Angela Smith happy birthday.
07:40I'm gonna ruin you.
07:42Who the hell are you?
07:44Hey, girls.
07:47What's going on here?
07:49Me?
07:51I'm Nora.
07:53Nora Smith.
07:59It can't be.
08:01It can.
08:03You bet it can.
08:09Oh, Nora.
08:13I can't believe it.
08:16Nora.
08:18Nora is back.
08:21I'm so happy to see you.
08:23There is no need to put on a show, Angela.
08:26A bat is a bat.
08:29So, are you going to eat my picture?
08:33Shut up, both of you.
08:35Nora, what do you think you're doing?
08:37I waited all these years for you to do this.
08:42Okay, guys.
08:43Let's not make a big scene here.
08:45Henry, let's go to your office and you can talk with your daughter there, okay?
08:51Okay.
08:53Girls.
08:55Enjoy.
08:57Enjoy.
09:02So, Nora, do you remember why you came here?
09:06You came here to break off your engagement with Anthony.
09:10Yes, you're right, Dad.
09:12And I don't care about any of your businesses.
09:16I'm gonna do it no matter what.
09:20All right.
09:22Whatever you say.
09:27What?
09:29Just like that?
09:31Yeah.
09:32We've all been waiting a long time for that.
09:34Since Anthony found himself another girl.
09:41He probably did it again for the money.
09:44What a clever boy.
09:46So happy for him.
09:47Actually, he loves me.
09:50What?
09:51Anthony and love?
09:54Are you kidding me?
09:56It's absurd.
10:06I didn't expect it, sis.
10:08Thank you for bringing such good news for my birthday.
10:13But I would have liked a better present from you.
10:20You almost got what you wanted.
10:23What more do you want?
10:27Here.
10:29What is it?
10:31Sign it.
10:33This is a donation of your stock to the company.
10:40It's the memory of my mother.
10:42Of your wife, Dad.
10:46Ex-wife.
10:49Sorry.
10:51And I couldn't give it to you even if I wanted to.
10:55They belong to me by inheritance.
10:58Before you couldn't.
11:00Now you can.
11:02The inheritance papers expired just two years ago.
11:05So it's simple.
11:06You want to break it off?
11:07Just sign the papers.
11:08Come on, Nora.
11:10I believe in you.
11:18I'm not going to do it no matter what.
11:25Are you going to stop her?
11:27You need it.
11:28You bring her back.
11:36Get back right now.
11:38Leave me alone.
11:40Just tell me the truth.
11:41Are you going to try to get Anthony back?
11:44Yeah?
11:45Is this the real reason why you're here?
11:48Get out of my way.
11:50Don't lie to me.
11:52I can see right through you.
11:55You're so shameless.
11:57Don't even think that Anthony will take you back just because you got a little prettier.
12:04He would never marry someone like you.
12:08You ruined yourself with that baby.
12:13You're a little freak now, huh?
12:16Or have you finally given up on her like your father gave up on you?
12:24If you...
12:26If I hear you say one more thing about my daughter one more time, that slap will feel like a gentle stroke.
12:37Happy, happy birthday, Angela.
12:40All your wishes come true.
12:44Cheers.
12:46Cheers.
12:49This has all been so unbearable.
12:52Angela's words stuck into my head.
12:54It's like I'm back to who I was.
12:57But I really don't know how I got pregnant nine years ago.
13:04All that reminds us to find out the truth.
13:09Please step aside.
13:11What's going on?
13:16Oh my God, it's Justin Hunt.
13:18And that little boy turns out to be his son.
13:25Hey, where is Mr. Hunt going?
13:28Apparently his son wants to go out to have some candy.
13:31So we all have to wait.
13:34Now it's clear what all the fuss is about.
13:37Hunt's family was afraid that the media would try to take pictures of their youngest child and it might cause trouble for them.
13:45But there could be trouble for me too.
13:48What if he finds out I'm Athena?
13:56Ms. Smith?
13:58Um, yes?
14:02Stay away from my son.
14:08Besides, you're not my type.
14:20That's it. You can go about your business.
14:29That was humiliating.
14:31I've heard that many have tried to get close to Mr. Hunt through his son, but he hates it more than anything.
14:37Those women who tried to get close to the youngest son ended up with some old men.
14:43I don't know what this woman did, but she really screwed up.
14:55Mr. Hunt, can we go? Is everything all right?
15:01That woman.
15:04I saw the surveillance footage of her talking to my son and it looks like a typical friend.
15:15Would you like me to go back and have a proper chat with her?
15:18No, no, no, no. That's the thing.
15:27Pete always avoids strange women and he's extremely shy, but not this time.
15:37It's kind of weird.
15:42So what do we do, sir?
15:44Nothing yet.
15:48We'll see. Let's go.
16:07Happy birthday, darling.
16:10What took you so long?
16:16I had some business to take care of.
16:33Didn't Nora hit you?
16:36Damn. Does she refuse to call off our engagement?
16:46Where is she? I'll deal with her.
16:48No, no, no, no, no, Anthony.
16:51You don't have to go in person.
16:56It's not about you. You don't have to go in person.
17:02She doesn't want to lose the company.
17:08I'll make her come eventually.
17:11Good.
17:13But we need to get this company or no one will ever agree to our engagement.
17:19Take care of it yourself.
17:23I don't want to see her horrible face either.
17:27I bet she got even uglier, didn't she?
17:31You don't have to worry about seeing her face again.
17:36I'll sort it out, I promise.
17:45Great.
17:59Did you find that woman I asked for?
18:01I'm sorry, sir, but we are working on it.
18:04Are you sure it's worth the effort?
18:06You've got to be kidding me, huh?
18:08Listen to me, dwarf. And listen to me very carefully.
18:12She's all I think about this whole time.
18:15That means it would be great if I could marry her instead of Angela.
18:19Is that clear?
18:21Okay.
18:22So get me her name right now!
18:25Sorry, I couldn't find out the identity of your mystery woman.
18:30But I found the hotel where she's staying.
18:33So what are you waiting for, you son of a bitch?
18:36Tell me her address right now, asshole.
18:44Mom, did you find my brother?
18:48Not yet, baby. Not yet.
18:52Nice book. Have fun.
19:04Solo, give me everything you can find on idyllic pharmaceuticals and fast.
19:09Hey, watch your tongue, asshole.
19:12You can't boss me around just because you saved my life.
19:15I'm the number one hacker in the world. I deserve respect.
19:20Solo, please. And be quick about it.
19:23I don't run your errands for nothing.
19:26Name the fair price and we'll be even. Hold it.
19:33How much is your life worth?
19:35Your life that I saved.
19:38Okay. Get on your computer.
19:43It's better.
19:45The email is going to have information on idyllic pharmaceuticals.
19:50It's a company that Nora Smith's mother left behind when she died.
19:54Nora was just a child then, so the company was handled by a special manager.
19:59And in all that time, she didn't take much interest in the company.
20:05There's something fishy going on here since everyone is chasing this company.
20:11Of course it's fishy.
20:19And it's not just the company that's been hunted.
20:23What? What are you talking about?
20:27I got a message from Mr. Hunt and it's very impressive.
20:34He just offered me a few million dollars for telling him
20:40whether you're a man or a woman.
20:44I think you're in trouble.
20:47Damn it.
20:49Yeah. What are you going to do?
20:53I want you to send him a message for me. Okay?
20:58Okay, baby.
21:09Mr. Hunt, may I come in?
21:12Yeah, Lawrence. Hello.
21:21Mr. Hunt, you have a message from Solo.
21:25Oh, nice.
21:30There is a message from Dr. Athena.
21:34What is it?
21:37Read it.
21:39I'm reading it verbatim.
21:42Dr. Athena asks, Mr. Hunt...
21:50Lawrence, read it.
21:53Are you in a rush to find me because you need urgent brain surgery?
22:03Is there a picture of the doctor in there?
22:08Yes.
22:10Show me. Show me that picture.
22:14I want to see it because they paid a lot of money for it.
22:18Yes, sir. Please.
22:21Is that my mother?
