00:00Kevin did a lot more than the dishes. In fact, he was treated like a live-in servant.
00:05But that was about to change, because I just found out that he had inherited a fortune.
00:17So glad you could make it.
00:19I'm sorry.
00:20I mean, you've been living as a guest in our home for two years now.
00:23The least you could do is help out around here, and it begins with the dishes.
00:30You've been so nice to us. Please just let me know if there's anything else I can do.
00:35You could get a job, make some money.
00:37Lily could have married anybody, but she chose you.
00:41I don't know why she did it, but she did.
00:45I'm going to prove my love to her.
00:48And I promise you that one day, I will truly be worthy to Lily.
00:53Lily.
01:00The only reason why we haven't pushed Lily towards a divorce is because she was too stupid to sign a prenup.
01:08She is a chairperson of a huge corporation, and I don't want you taking half of her money.
01:12And I would never.
01:14We'll see to it.
01:15Kevin couldn't wait to share his life-changing news with his mother-in-law and his wife, Lily.
01:20So, how's work?
01:22My company received a new contract last month, and there was an error in the calculations.
01:27Our products didn't meet requirements.
01:30Which means we have to compensate them in seven million dollars, and my company right now can't afford that.
01:38We'll most likely go bankrupt, and I can't do that to my employees.
01:43Hey, honey.
01:44Listen, I heard you mention that your company needs four million dollars.
01:48Otherwise, you'll be in trouble, but I think I can help.
01:54I would love for you to help out, but we both know that that's impossible.
01:58You haven't even been able to keep one single job since we got married.
02:03Why do you stay with him?
02:06Do you love him now?
02:09He's just so in his shell these days.
02:12The romance is gone, and it feels like if I broach him with this topic, I'll only lose him further.
02:18He'll just shut off.
02:20You still have an answer.
02:22I do love him, that's for sure.
02:25Just maybe not in the way I did before.
02:29I haven't told Lily about my money because I don't want my wife to love me for my money.
02:43Of course you fell asleep.
02:45You probably were playing Xbox all night long.
02:48I won't be able to take Lily with me to work.
02:51I have errands to run, so you're going to have to actually make yourself useful and take care of yourself.
02:55Of course you have to. I'll get to it.
03:13Alright.
03:17Hey.
03:19Are you okay?
03:20You could say I'm a little stressed.
03:24Okay, actually no, I'm a lot stressed.
03:26I checked the reports this morning, and it's...
03:31The what?
03:32There's no way we're getting any external investors, which means we're all in.
03:37Which means we're going to have to file for bankruptcy.
03:40Lily, that's not going to happen.
03:41The major shareholders are meeting this morning, and I have to be there.
03:47All of those employees are going to lose their job because of me.
03:51But it wasn't you who messed up.
03:52I'm the face of the company.
03:54I have to take accountability for anything and everything that happens with the company.
04:02I'm sorry.
04:04Thanks for dropping me off.
04:07I'll see you later.
04:10Well, hello there.
04:12Hi, Bradley.
04:13What are you doing here with... Did you just hitch a ride?
04:16No, actually...
04:17You could have called me. I would have picked you up.
04:20I'm Kevin, and she didn't hitch a ride.
04:24I'm her husband.
04:25Oh, so this is the infamous Kevin.
04:28Yeah, Rachel told me all about you and does a pretty good impression of you.
04:33Oh, does she?
04:35Wait, I have something for you.
04:39Thanks.
04:45What's this?
04:46It's for you. Open it.
04:52Bradley, what is this? I... I can't accept this. This is too much.
04:56Come on now, you know you like it.
04:58Look, I thought it'll add a little sparkle to your life.
05:01Not like you need it, it's just... I thought, why not?
05:05Is this an original dream lover necklace?
05:07What was that?
05:08I'm just saying, this is impossible.
05:10There's only like ten of these in the world that are available.
05:13They cost like two to three million dollars.
05:16Let me see this.
05:20What did you do?
05:22You dropped it on purpose, didn't you?
05:25Look, it's not a knockoff, it's a top-of-the-line copy.
05:29Rachel told me how much you liked it.
05:32So I had one made for you for a hundred grand.
05:35I'm sure this is just an accident, right Kevin?
05:39Yeah, it was. But I'm not sorry for it.
05:42Kevin!
05:43What? Look, you deserve the real thing, right? And I can get you one.
05:48Okay, I need you to apologize to Bradley.
05:53I can't risk upsetting him. He's the only one who can persuade the investors if at all there is a chance.
06:06I'm sorry, Bradley. I'm sorry I dropped your necklace.
06:09Thank you. I gotta go.
06:17You. Stop.
06:21I know you can hear me.
06:24You can't even afford a first copy.
06:28You shouldn't lie to your wife like that.
06:31You know, she'll never have anything nice. All thanks to you.
06:36Tread lightly, friend. Lily's my wife. My life. Do you understand that?
06:44Stay the hell away from her. That's not a request.
06:57What's this?
06:58Oh, that? Someone left it for you.
07:01Mom, why aren't you ready yet?
07:03Open it. I'm so curious. And then I'll go change right after.
07:08Okay, I don't have the bandwidth for this right now. You do it if you're so curious.
07:16Who's it from, anyways?
07:18It says the Williams.
07:20Oh my god!
07:22What?
07:23It's a dream lover. Whoever sent this to you admires you deeply.
07:32Lily could tell at a glance that this was an original.
07:35She had such an interest in that piece that she had spent hours researching it.
07:40And that's why Lily could tell that the necklace she was holding was absolutely authentic.
07:46Did Kevin gifted this dream lover necklace?
07:53To be continued...
