Cyril (English Version)

33

Patrick and Valerie are both in the Soledads' mansion preparing and dressing up.

Topaz and Esther help Valerie put on her ball gown.

Patrick looks in the mirror, getting ready. Erwin and Benjamin assist him.

Both Valerie and Patrick seem uncomfortable with what they're about to do.

Meanwhile, Melanie takes Cyril to the mansion of the Arpias.

Cyril and Melanie both sat at the dining table.

"Mrs. Arpia, you really don't have to do this for me."

"Oh no dear! It's my pleasure. Actually, it's just right. Because..."

Melanie's housemaid serves fried apples to Cyril.

"I was planning to introduce this new side dish to Soledad Elegante. However, I need a second opinion from a customer's perspective."

"But-"

"C'mon Cyril! What do you have to lose? You know, this could actually help, not only for your dear friend Patrick, but also for his family's business. Your opinion matters dear!"

"Well, it's just that I'm-"

"Well don't be shy! C'mon, try it. It's Fried apples! With extra love and appreciation..."

Melanie places the fork in Cyril's hand.

"Go now! Before it gets cold. We still have something to eat after this. C'mon! Just a mouthful."

Cyril gets a piece of the fried apples with the fork.

Cyril glances at Melanie.

Melanie keeps pushing him to eat it.

"Getting cold dear..."

Cyril eats the apple.

"Yes. Taste good right?"

"Yes, it's delicious."

Melanie puts on an evil grin.

Cyril ate more of the apple piece.

"Yes! Just enjoy the food."

Cyril began hallucinating.

"Hold on. I feel... Strange."

"Strange?"

"I feel... Dizzy. Excuse me."

Cyril tries to stand up, but before he does, he faints.

Melanie looks at the unconscious Cyril while smiling wickedly.

Melanie's bodyguard comes in.

"Get the car ready."

Meanwhile, Patrick, Erwin and Benjamin are waiting outside the church.

Erwin approaches Patrick.

"So son, are you ready?

Patrick was still contemplating.

"...Probably."

Benjamin interrupts the two of them and talks to Patrick.

"Well... You better be ready as you'll ever be. The legacy of both families is in both yours and Valerie's hands."

Patrick remained silent.

"Excuse me, I have to use the restroom."

"Uh, okay son." His father answered.

Patrick leaves them for a moment.

He enters the public restroom next to the church.

Patrick looks into the mirror.

He takes out Cyril's shoe from a pocket, which was located inside his blazer.

He held on to it for a moment and glanced at it while facing the mirror.
