Bright-eyed Revenge

- Season 1

(2016)

Officially dead since the accident that killed her mother and brother, Olivia returns to Nice ten years later, with a new identity and a new face. She finds her childhood friend Maya, and reveals her true intentions to her: she has come back to get revenge upon the person responsible for destroying her family, the powerful local businessman and head of a veritable clan, Etienne Chevalier. A brilliant lawyer, Olivia has no problem getting herself hired by the Lafont law firm that handles Chevalier's business. With her intelligence, beauty and charm, it's not long ...

Recognized by Lieutenant Legoff, who worked on the investigation ten years earlier and always suspected it of being a murder, Olivia is forced to confess her true identity to him. Her real name is Emmy Fortuny. She survived the accident. She has come back to get justice. Legoff agrees to keep her secret, even to help her. Together they target the judge who flat-out sabotaged the investigation, Judge Delattre, today a high magistrate of the court in Nice. They find out that Chevalier holds tight reins on him because of a secret: Delattre has an illegitimate daughter. ...

Olivia tries to find out who was really responsible for the accident by pretending to defend Ange's brother, Pascal Milacci, who also feels threatened. She learns that the real reason for the murder most likely relates to her father, Pierre Fortuny, who was apparently a diamond trafficker in business with Corsicans, and whose death probably wasn't a deep sea diving accident, but a murder as well. Olivia is overwhelmed with doubt: was she wrong to target Etienne Chevalier? But as she gets closer to Alexander, she discovers why he cut off his ties to the family ten ...

After dealing with Romain, Olivia decides to set up Alexandre's return to the family, to stimulate Joris' pathological jealousy. Her goal: to make Etienne watch as his family crumbles to destruction. She makes a deal with Etienne's associate Penelope to keep Joris out of family business matters. Knowing he is likely to react violently to being cut out, she tries to push his limits to the breaking point. At the same time, she is troubled by the time she spends with Alexandre and has a hard time fighting her feelings. The situation gets even trickier for Olivia when ...

Olivia manipulates Joris to accuse Alexandre of the murder of a Corsican criminal that he himself committed in a fit of jealousy. But as she expects, Etienne can't get himself to believe that Alexandre could have done such a thing, and decides that Joris has gone too far. Olivia has the ultimate revenge just within reach: Etienne is ready to eliminate his own son. But Etienne comes up with another plan: take advantage of the situation to get rid of his cumbersome Corsican allies and ultimately, spare his son.

Realizing that she is caught in her own trap, and pressed for time, Olivia decides she has to physically eliminate Etienne. To do so, she has to be alone with him, in a legitimate situation of self-defense. To Alexandre's great disappointment, bitterness and confusion, she accepts Etienne's marriage proposal and plans to physically eliminate him during their first romantic night together in a luxurious palace on the Riviera. But her plans are thwarted by Joris, who has become murderously hateful of Olivia. Meanwhile, Legoff's associate Pauline Jordan has started to ...

Now pursued by Joris who wants to kill her, Olivia discovers the identity of the person who was actually responsible for her parents' death.
