The Better Brother — Episode 5

Elena, what gives you the right to stop this? And why should we protect you? Do you know how easy it is to crush an aunt? In my eyes, you're less than that.

Crushing an aunt is easy. Destroying evidence is not. Look. What?

What do you mean? It contains proof of your affairs with several men back then. My mother left it to me and called it a greeting gift for you. I was already married then. My husband must never find out.

Aren't you afraid I'll kill you to silence you? Killing me is easy. Silencing this isn't. If I die, every file gets backed up and emailed out in batches. Are you sure you want that gamble?

You're threatening me because you want to marry into the Valentino family? I'm not threatening you. I'm being practical. The moment I showed you these videos, I knew you wouldn't let me walk away easily. I don't want Lorenzo. I only need the title of his fiancée.

so a country girl like me can survive in a family that cold. How long do you need? Only one year. One year from today, I promise I will come to cancel the engagement.

Fine. But you must give me all of these. Unless you push me too far, releasing those videos would drag us both down.

And I don't plan to die yet. They're my trump keyed. I have even less reason than you to let them out. Why should I trust you?

What choice do you have besides trusting me? Mrs. Valentino, post a ball the day after tomorrow in front of New York's most powerful families, recognize me as Lorenzo's fiancée.

Can you do that? Do I have any other choice?
