00:00:00Remember, when Miss Stacy comes in, we will greet her with our biggest smile.
00:00:11And then, close the front gate with the speed of light.
00:00:16Speed of light!
00:00:20Welcome home, Miss Stacy!
00:00:42What's the occasion?
00:00:44Everyone is so formal today.
00:00:47Is Dad home?
00:00:48No!
00:00:49Oh, Miss Stacy, the Winston family reps are here to proceed with your arranged marriage
00:00:54to their heir.
00:00:55Ben, I am not marrying the Winston's son.
00:00:58You know I'm engaged to Pete.
00:00:59Miss Stacy, even if your father agrees, he hasn't, by the way, I fear Pete isn't good
00:01:04enough for you.
00:01:06This Pete Wilson is something of a scoundrel, of a scallywag, of a nobody, until you decided
00:01:13to help him out through your resources.
00:01:15Ben, Pete loves me.
00:01:18And I love him.
00:01:19And that's all that matters.
00:01:20Miss Stacy, now let's go inside and we can, uh, uh, Miss Stacy.
00:01:23I'm not marrying anyone but Pete.
00:01:25But, uh, but, I, hey, ah, I told you to close the gate!
00:01:32Go!
00:01:33After Miss Stacy!
00:01:34Now!
00:01:35I made it very clear, Grandpa, I don't want to marry a spoiled young heiress like Miss
00:01:42Van Ness.
00:01:43Miss Stacy!
00:01:44Please!
00:01:45Come back!
00:01:46Sorry, Ben, I can't.
00:01:47I'm meeting Pete at the chapel and we're eloping!
00:01:48That's terrible!
00:01:49Run faster, boys!
00:01:50I made it very clear, Grandpa, I don't want to marry a spoiled young heiress like Miss
00:01:51Van Ness.
00:01:52I don't care what you want.
00:01:53This marriage is over.
00:01:54It's over.
00:01:55It's over.
00:01:56It's over.
00:01:57It's over.
00:01:58It's over.
00:01:59It's over.
00:02:00It's over.
00:02:01It's over.
00:02:02It's over.
00:02:03It's over.
00:02:04It's over.
00:02:05It's over.
00:02:06It's over.
00:02:07It's over.
00:02:08It's over.
00:02:09It's over.
00:02:11This arrangement is for our family.
00:02:13I can't.
00:02:15I'm marrying someone else.
00:02:16Move!
00:02:17Get your ass back home!
00:02:18Right now!
00:02:21The brakes!
00:02:22The brakes are broken!
00:02:23Get out of my way!
00:02:28Oh!
00:02:40Uh, oh, my, my dress is ruined.
00:02:48Oh, I want to go to the park.
00:02:50You almost killed me with your bike,
00:02:52and you're not even going to ask if I'm okay?
00:02:54I'm sorry, are you okay?
00:02:56Forget it. Let's get this over with.
00:02:59What?
00:03:04Get what over with? Who are you?
00:03:07Our wedding ceremony.
00:03:08Our what? I don't even know you.
00:03:12Wait, wait.
00:03:14I'm sorry I crashed into you,
00:03:17but I'm not going to marry you for it.
00:03:19I'm not that sorry.
00:03:21Was my assistant not clear?
00:03:23I'll pay you 30 grand a month,
00:03:25and you'll be married to me for a year.
00:03:27Wrong girl, mister. I'm engaged.
00:03:31I see. Uh, well, I'm sorry.
00:03:39That's him.
00:03:42Pete, my love.
00:03:45I got something for you.
00:03:49Keep your lousy gift.
00:04:09I'm sorry.
00:04:24Pete? What is this? Who is she?
00:04:28I knew you weren't educated,
00:04:30but I didn't realize you were a don.
00:04:34This is my girl, Irina.
00:04:37But I'm your girl.
00:04:38Don't say that in public.
00:04:40I want nothing to do with you from now on.
00:04:43You're lucky I even came to do this in person.
00:04:45How could he do this to me?
00:04:47After everything that I've done for you?
00:04:49For him?
00:04:51Look at yourself.
00:04:53I mean, Pete's better off with my grandma.
00:04:56Pete, you promised to marry me.
00:04:59Marry you? Come on, Stacy.
00:05:02You think I spent the last three years becoming somebody just to marry a nobody?
00:05:06Oh, and Pete's company just signed the biggest deal to redesign Chateau Van Ness in Napa.
00:05:12I wouldn't expect a peasant like you to understand that,
00:05:15but it is the biggest winery in the United States.
00:05:19After this, Pete's gonna be flooded with requests.
00:05:23He'll be a multimillionaire.
00:05:25And you, well, you don't even have a job.
00:05:28Why do you think that the Van Ness picked your designs over hundreds of others?
00:05:32You barely have the experience.
00:05:35Experience? Experience is for losers.
00:05:38The Van Ness family recognized my talent.
00:05:41Something you wouldn't understand.
00:05:43No, Pete, I saw your talent.
00:05:45I recommended you.
00:05:47Without me, the Van Ness family would have never considered your designs.
00:05:53Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:05:57Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:05:59How dare you lay a hand on me?
00:06:02Sometimes you gotta slap a bitch to teach her a lesson.
00:06:05Take a good look at yourself, Stacey.
00:06:08I don't want you to ever associate yourself with me or my success again.
00:06:14The success that I gave you?
00:06:16Oh my god, how delusional are you?
00:06:20Now I'm curious. No, really.
00:06:22How exactly did you give Pete anything?
00:06:26I mean, other than terrible sex.
00:06:30I'll tell you the truth now, Pete Davis.
00:06:33My name is Stacey Van Ness and I am the heiress of the Van Ness family.
00:06:38And the future chairman of the Van Ness group.
00:06:40I was the one who got your proposal through the door.
00:06:43I was the one who insisted we use your designs.
00:06:46And I was the one who got not only my family, but the Winstons to invest in your company.
00:06:51You are here today because of me.
00:06:53I made you.
00:06:56I just didn't want you to feel emasculated.
00:07:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry, emasculated?
00:07:06What, did you pick that word off the streets like your dress?
00:07:10Holy shit, if you're the Van Ness heiress, I'm the Winston heir.
00:07:13Oh no, no, no, if you're the Van Ness heiress, then I'm Princess Diana.
00:07:16At least pick someone alive.
00:07:19Stacey, Stacey, Stacey, take a look at yourself.
00:07:22Heiresses are well educated, classy, beautiful.
00:07:26You're none of those things.
00:07:28Money screams.
00:07:30Wealth whispers.
00:07:33Well then you should shut the fuck up.
00:07:36Give me the ring.
00:07:38Pete, the moment I take off this ring, there's no fixing us.
00:07:43Ugh, don't say us again, you're making me nauseous. Ring.
00:07:47Ew, Pete, I don't want this broke country mouse's ring.
00:07:51Of course it's not gorgeous, don't worry.
00:07:55This trashed ring to a trashed girlfriend back then.
00:07:59But now.
00:08:04Irina, my sweet, gorgeous angel.
00:08:07Will you marry me?
00:08:10Irina, my sweet, gorgeous angel.
00:08:14Will you marry me?
00:08:16Oh my god, it's like a five carat diamond.
00:08:22You shouldn't have.
00:08:27You two are gonna regret this.
00:08:29Regret?
00:08:32The only thing I regret is spending three of my golden years
00:08:36wasted on a clingy, boring, broke bitch like you.
00:08:41No one else would even think of speaking to me like that.
00:08:45I finally see it now, Pete.
00:08:48Daddy and Ben, they were right about you all along.
00:08:52Did she just call her dad daddy?
00:08:55I'm gonna call them right now and cancel your proposal.
00:08:59You can say goodbye to your 15 million dollar funding.
00:09:03I thought you knew it was 50 million.
00:09:06That's enough.
00:09:11That's enough.
00:09:13Let go of me, you rabid dog.
00:09:15Who is this and why is he so dirty?
00:09:18Are you okay?
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:22Oh my, you're so muddy, I'm so sorry.
00:09:25I'll get you a whole new wardrobe.
00:09:27No need.
00:09:29I'm sorry.
00:09:31I'm sorry.
00:09:33I'm sorry.
00:09:35No need.
00:09:37After seeing your taste in men, I don't really trust you.
00:09:41Excuse me, are you dumb?
00:09:43Do you not realize who I am?
00:09:45Am I supposed to?
00:09:47Yeah. I'm Pete Davis, CEO of PD Interior Designs.
00:09:51My company is funded by the Winston Group and the Van Ness Group.
00:09:55They're both the top ten companies in North America.
00:09:58Those are the kind of people I roll with, not peasants like you.
00:10:02You roll with the Winston Group?
00:10:04Me and the heir, the new CEO, we're like this side.
00:10:09Yeah, right. I've never seen this guy in my life.
00:10:12That's funny.
00:10:14The Winston family invested in your company because Miss Van Ness vouched for your talents and character.
00:10:20Now it seems we were both blind.
00:10:23We?
00:10:25You're saying you're one of the Winston family?
00:10:29Yeah, I'm not just a Winston. I'm the Winston.
00:10:33I'm Charles Winston, the Winston family's heir and current CEO of the Winston Group.
00:10:39I'm Charles Winston, the Winston family's heir and current CEO of the Winston Group.
00:10:44Oh my god, one cuckoo wasn't enough. Now we have two.
00:10:49Are you calling me a liar?
00:10:51That's what you are? There's no way you're Charlie Winston.
00:10:54Charles.
00:10:56Whatever, that's what his friends call him.
00:10:58Yeah, we call him Charlie.
00:11:00Yeah, you guys are like perfect for each other. Look at you two, dirty little liars.
00:11:06I am not lying.
00:11:08Stop pretending to be Charles Winston. It's gonna make it seem like I'm lying too.
00:11:13Oh, and we're all supposed to believe you're Stacey Van Ness.
00:11:16I am Stacey Van Ness.
00:11:18Look, Irina and I are hosting an engagement party at the Winston Hotel later this month.
00:11:24The Winston heir and the Van Ness heiress will be in attendance as VVVIPs.
00:11:28And you two are obviously not invited, but we'll make sure to take some pictures for you guys so you can see what real money looks like.
00:11:37Great. I'll see you there.
00:11:41I can't wait to see their faces when they find out who I really am.
00:11:45Look, here's a check for $50,000 for your life without me.
00:11:50Since you don't have a house, you don't have a job, you don't have a car, just try to keep yourself off the streets.
00:11:57Yeah, there's no need for that.
00:12:03Will you marry me, Stacey?
00:12:07Will you marry me, Stacey?
00:12:09Oh my god, that's a pink diamond. That's at least 10 carats. It has to be like...
00:12:13Four million dollars.
00:12:15Come on, Stacey. I need to marry someone now and you...
00:12:20Don't you want to piss them off?
00:12:27Okay. I'll marry you.
00:12:32Of course you'd marry an imposter with a fake ring.
00:12:36Fake?
00:12:37Obviously it's fake. Look at his clothes. I mean, those dirty ass clothes are probably from a thrift store.
00:12:41You think he can afford a four million dollar diamond when I can't?
00:12:44God, you're so right, babe. I don't know how I believed him for a second.
00:12:48Let's let these two idiots entertain themselves. Let's go.
00:12:58I can't believe it. How could you stay with a guy like that for three years?
00:13:03He wasn't always like that. I guess love really is blind.
00:13:11I appreciate the acting back there. It helped save any shred of dignity I had left.
00:13:19Send me your bank account info. I will wire you some money.
00:13:24I don't need your money, Stacey. I should be the one giving you some.
00:13:28And keep the ring. It's real.
00:13:33And I wasn't acting. You can get it authenticated.
00:13:37I'm not going to give my fiance something fake.
00:13:41You meant it? The proposal?
00:13:45You meant it? The proposal?
00:13:48I mean, an engagement works out for me. If it works out for you.
00:13:53If I'm engaged to this guy, even though he's a stranger, maybe Dad will stop forcing me to marry the Winston kid.
00:14:00And I'll pay you, of course, like I said, 30 grand a month for a year?
00:14:05I don't need money. Sometimes it feels like all I have is money.
00:14:11That's why with Pete I thought that maybe...
00:14:15Anyway, I would love to be your fake fiance, but I can't keep this ring, especially if it's real.
00:14:23Oh, what a sweetheart. Pulling out a giant fake ring just to save my image in front of Pete.
00:14:35I was going to give this to Pete for a wedding gift, but you can have it.
00:14:41Stacey, this watch is at least two million dollars.
00:14:46More like five, but it's fine. We'll call it even.
00:14:51Poor girl. She went and got a fake watch just to try and make her ex stay with her.
00:14:57Thank you.
00:15:00Listen, I'm going to attend your asshole ex's wedding.
00:15:05Oh, yeah, don't worry. You can come as my plus one.
00:15:07As your plus one? I was going to say you can come as my plus one.
00:15:10It's at my hotel and apparently I'm invited as a triple VIP.
00:15:14Anyway, it was nice to meet you. Tell them my name and they'll let you in. I'm a VVVIP.
00:15:20I'll see you at the engagement party.
00:15:23Oh, Miss Stacey. Where were you?
00:15:29Ben, you were right about Pete. He is an asshole.
00:15:36So, um, I'm engaged to somebody else.
00:15:41What?
00:15:43I'm engaged to someone else.
00:15:46Who?
00:15:47So, um, I'm engaged to somebody else.
00:15:52Oh, Miss Stacey. You what?
00:15:58I don't really know him at all, but he seems nice. He's a compulsive liar, but nice.
00:16:05So, do me a favor. Get this authenticated. Charles said it's a pink diamond.
00:16:12Well, I'm sure he would know it. Charles? Who?
00:16:16Oh my gosh. I've got to go.
00:16:18Mr. Van Ness got their third Michelin star and I'm supposed to help.
00:16:27Her father's going to kill me.
00:16:32I have other matters to attend to, but Miss Van Ness does not want any special treatment.
00:16:40Once she comes, she's just the lead wine consultant. Understood?
00:16:46No problem, Mr. Dotto. It will be an honor to work with Miss Van Ness herself.
00:16:50Good. Counting on you.
00:16:57My advice? Don't listen to a word old Ben just said. We need to glaze Miss Van Ness to the max.
00:17:03Oh, I see. So we get Miss Van Ness to like us and then we get promotions.
00:17:08Sophie, you're a genius.
00:17:10That I am. That I am.
00:17:14I wonder what Miss Van Ness looks like.
00:17:17The Napa princess?
00:17:19Probably like a princess.
00:17:38Can we help you?
00:17:41Can we help you?
00:17:43Hi, I'm Stacy. I'm the new lead wine consultant here. I start today?
00:17:48Isn't that Miss Van Ness's position?
00:17:51This is the Miss Van Ness?
00:17:54No way. This country mouse?
00:17:56I'm sorry, is there a problem here?
00:17:58The problem is you're pretending to be someone you're not and you're doing a terrible job at it.
00:18:03What?
00:18:04I don't understand. My name is Stacy Van Ness. I'm the...
00:18:09I'm the...
00:18:32Oh my god. What is a peasant doing at a Michelin restaurant?
00:18:36Michelin.
00:18:38Michelin.
00:18:40Michelin.
00:18:42Michelin.
00:18:44Michelin.
00:18:46Miss Van Ness!
00:18:48Welcome to Bistro Van Ness.
00:18:50I'm just here to interview for a hostess position, but if they think I'm Miss Van Ness, then I'll be Miss Van Ness.
00:18:57This is ridiculous. My name is Stacy Van Ness. This is Irina Carter.
00:19:03She's nobody.
00:19:04Nobody.
00:19:07My name is Stacy Van Ness. This is Irina Carter. She's a nobody.
00:19:11Yes, my name is Irina, but it's Irina Van Ness.
00:19:17Well, Miss Van Ness's first name was never revealed to us.
00:19:21Well, it's obvious. Look at Miss Irina and look at this tasteless bum. There's no way that she's Miss Van Ness.
00:19:31Is this how your manager trains you? To judge a book by its cover?
00:19:36Oh, please. Stop with your big dumb words.
00:19:40My apologies for Stacy here. Listen, she was my fiancé's ex, so, well, salty about the upgrade.
00:19:47Obviously. We'll kick her out immediately. Security!
00:19:52Wait. So none of you believe me?
00:19:55Fine.
00:19:56Fine. So, Irina, you're the lead wine consultant here, right?
00:20:01Yeah.
00:20:04Do you know anything about our wine? Specifically, our wine?
00:20:09Of course I do. I for sure know more than someone like you.
00:20:14Well, I did promise Dad I would work fair and square. So, how about this? Let's do a blind tasting competition.
00:20:20If you really are me, the Napa princess, you'll be able to recognize our wine, won't you?
00:20:29Well, I don't need to prove myself to a peasant. Kick her out. Kick her out.
00:20:38Okay. You two know that Miss Van Ness is a certified master sommelier.
00:20:43She's spent over 10,000 hours perfecting the art of wine tasting.
00:20:48And wine making.
00:20:51Miss Van Ness, it would be an honor to witness your craft.
00:20:55It's obvious that this, ahem, pumpkin idolizes you. So, why not show her how it's done?
00:21:03Yes. Miss Van Ness, show me.
00:21:06Unless, of course, you're just an imposter who doesn't know the first thing about winemaking.
00:21:12Fine. If you insist. I'll show you who the real master sommelier is.
00:21:17Sommelier.
00:21:19It's sommelier.
00:21:21It's sommelier.
00:21:23It's sommelier.
00:21:25Don't say that.
00:21:27It's sommelier.
00:21:29That's enough. That's enough. Thank you.
00:21:33Let's go.
00:21:34Let's go.
00:21:43Miss Van Ness, why don't we do the blind taste test in the VIP tasting room?
00:21:48Okay.
00:21:50Open the door.
00:21:52Uh, Miss, it's locked with a code. This is the most exclusive wine cellar in California.
00:22:01Okay, well, yeah.
00:22:02So, unlock it.
00:22:04I...
00:22:08They can't.
00:22:10Only three people know the code to that door.
00:22:13Ben, Dad, and me.
00:22:17Yeah, right. As if someone like you would...
00:22:20The code is my birthday.
00:22:22Irina, even if you somehow forgot about the wine cellar you designed,
00:22:28you wouldn't also forget your own birthday, would you?
00:22:34You wouldn't also forget your own birthday, would you?
00:22:38Oh, Miss Van Ness, stop letting this tacky imposter run her mouth.
00:22:42We all knew that it was Miss Van Ness' birthday.
00:22:46Come on, Miss Van Ness. Just come and put it in your mouth.
00:22:49Come on, Miss Van Ness. Just come and put it in your birthday.
00:22:53How am I supposed to know her birthday?
00:23:03I'll just deny this.
00:23:05Miss Van Ness, you wouldn't forget your own birthday, right?
00:23:11She didn't forget it. She just doesn't know it.
00:23:15Because she isn't the Van Ness heiress.
00:23:19I am.
00:23:32She just opened the door.
00:23:34What if she's actually Miss Van Ness?
00:23:38Not so fast.
00:23:40Knowing my birthday doesn't prove anything.
00:23:45The Van Ness heiress, me, is a famous socialite.
00:23:50She is obviously obsessed with me.
00:23:54Well, even after all that, you won't stop pretending.
00:23:57Oh my god, you're the one pretending.
00:23:59Look at her. What a nappa princess.
00:24:02Oh, a billionaire heiress.
00:24:05Wear this to her own restaurant?
00:24:08I mean, your shoes probably cost more than her whole outfit.
00:24:12You know my shoes?
00:24:14Fall of 2024 runway?
00:24:17I don't live under a rock.
00:24:19Miss Van Ness, you have amazing taste.
00:24:23So you're going to believe a liar over me because of some shoes?
00:24:26Those aren't even exclusive.
00:24:28The designer sent me a customized pair last week.
00:24:31Cut it out. Just admit you're not the real Van Ness heiress.
00:24:35And get the hell out.
00:24:41Well, I got the door open.
00:24:43Are we going to do what we came here to do?
00:24:46Yes, the blind taste test.
00:24:48Miss Van Ness, you have to demonstrate your skills as a master sommelier.
00:24:54The art of wine tasting took even me a half decade to master.
00:24:58It's not something somebody can just fake.
00:25:03I'll show you.
00:25:05Wine is just expired grape juice.
00:25:08How hard can this be?
00:25:10Oh.
00:25:28As per Van Ness tradition, we will be blind testing three wines they have just poured behind our backs.
00:25:35One would be the signature Van Ness Cabernet Sauvignon.
00:25:39The others are random wines from other regions.
00:25:42The goal is to find the Van Ness Cabernet.
00:25:48If you really are the heiress of the Van Ness winery, the Napa Princess, this should be easy.
00:25:53Of course it'll be easy. I bet she can do it in seconds.
00:25:56Alright, enough. I am trying to focus here.
00:26:00Let's begin.
00:26:09What the fuck is she doing? Aren't we just chugging this?
00:26:15Classic Napa Cab so far.
00:26:18Dark fruit.
00:26:20Touch of oak.
00:26:22I'm getting dark chocolate.
00:26:25Full bodied.
00:26:31And Miss Van Ness, what did you observe?
00:26:35Oh, me! Yeah.
00:26:36Um.
00:26:38Yeah, what she said.
00:26:40Um.
00:26:42Chocolate, for sure.
00:26:44Dark chocolate.
00:26:48Um, I'm gonna try to smell another one.
00:26:52Um.
00:26:53Oh.
00:27:05This is the Van Ness. I harvested these grapes myself. I'd recognize this wine anywhere.
00:27:11I don't need to try any of the others. This is my wine.
00:27:15I don't need to try any of the others. This is my wine.
00:27:19Yeah, right. Barely even tasted it.
00:27:23Um.
00:27:28Mmm.
00:27:30Yes, yes, this one. This one's much lighter.
00:27:34Um.
00:27:36Let's see.
00:27:39Well, it tastes much better, so I think...
00:27:42That's because it's a Pinot Noir.
00:27:44It's an entirely different grape. You can tell by the color.
00:27:47Bullshit.
00:27:49Can't tell what grapes these are made from just, like, looking at them.
00:27:53Actually, that's exactly what Miss Van Ness is known to do.
00:27:57And, I mean, she was right.
00:28:00Wait, what?
00:28:02Stacy was right. The wine she just tasted is the Van Ness.
00:28:08And the wine you just drank is the Pinot Noir from Oregon.
00:28:17No.
00:28:22You keep insisting that you're the Van Ness-eris, but you can't even taste your own family's wine.
00:28:31Are you going to allow her to talk her way out of this one again?
00:28:34No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. We're sorry.
00:28:38We should have never doubted you based on how you were dressed, Miss Van Ness.
00:28:43Excuse me?
00:28:44Excuse me? What? I am Miss Van Ness.
00:28:49Okay, shut up. I can't believe you tricked us into believing you were the eris of this winery.
00:28:54You know, thinking about it now, everything about you looks fake.
00:28:58You probably even have a fake purse, too.
00:29:03Please forgive us, Miss Van Ness. We didn't know.
00:29:09You're forgiven. Everybody makes mistakes.
00:29:15Security! Take this imposter away!
00:29:22Irina!
00:29:24Dad?
00:29:26Irina is in trouble. I have to help her.
00:29:29Miss Van Ness, what an honor to finally see you in person.
00:29:35Boys, pay your respects to Miss Van Ness.
00:29:38Miss Van Ness?
00:29:40This is absurd. Who are you? I've never seen you before in my life.
00:29:46So you don't know what I look like?
00:29:48This is Jack, the head of security for Bistro Van Ness.
00:29:51Well, of course he would know who Miss Van Ness is.
00:29:54I heard there was an imposter. How dare you impersonate the Van Ness eris?
00:29:59Excuse me?
00:30:02Okay, I don't know what's gotten into you, but this crazy woman is the one who's impersonating me.
00:30:08Shut up!
00:30:10How dare you impersonate the Van Ness eris?
00:30:15I called Ben when this nonsense started, and he's on his way.
00:30:22Every single one of you is going to regret treating me like this when he gets here and proves my identity.
00:30:29Who the hell is Ben? And why would I care about some...
00:30:33Benjamin Dotto, the general manager? Chateau Van Ness?
00:30:36Mr. Irene, of course you should care.
00:30:39Yes, of course. As if you would know who he is.
00:30:44Oh, good heavens!
00:30:46Mr. Dotto!
00:30:50Miss Van Ness, what has happened to you?
00:30:54What did he just call her?
00:30:57He hit me, and she's pretending to be me.
00:31:03What?
00:31:04What?
00:31:06You did what to my little Miss Stacy?
00:31:15Mr. Dotto, I can explain.
00:31:17Do you know what happens to dogs that bite their master, their foot down?
00:31:22Mr. Dotto, please.
00:31:26It was her?
00:31:27It was her. She misled me. I do see what Miss Van Ness looks like, and that brat fooled me into thinking it's her.
00:31:35What? That's ridiculous.
00:31:37Wait, no, Jack's right. It is all her fault.
00:31:41She insulted Miss Van Ness and made us all doubt her.
00:31:49No, this isn't happening. No, you can't do this to me.
00:31:53Give me another chance. Come on.
00:31:58Come on, please.
00:32:04Don't come any closer. Hey, I am warning you.
00:32:08I am engaged to Pete Davis. Do you even know who that is?
00:32:14Pete Davis?
00:32:17That's Miss Stacy's good-for-nothing ex-boyfriend.
00:32:20I see. Trash attracts trash.
00:32:24What? Do you know who you're talking to?
00:32:27Security!
00:32:30Take this cycle away!
00:32:32And never allow anyone associated with her or Pete Davis to come ever close to our properties again.
00:32:38I am telling Pete about this. Don't you touch me! I'm telling him everything!
00:32:43All of you guys! You can't handle me!
00:32:46Miss Stacy, I am so awfully, horribly sorry for all that's happened here.
00:32:51How would you like to handle these two?
00:32:54Stop.
00:32:57Miss Van Ness, we are so, so very sorry.
00:33:02Please don't fire us. I just bought a new bag and I haven't paid it off yet.
00:33:06Yes, please, please give us another chance.
00:33:09I'll forgive you.
00:33:19When you can make that wine glass hold again.
00:33:24Miss Van Ness, that's, that's, that's impossible!
00:33:28Exactly.
00:33:30Just like how it's impossible to rebuild the trust between you two and my family ever again.
00:33:38Security!
00:33:40Kick these two out right now!
00:33:43And I personally will make certain that you two never, ever, ever, never find a position in hospitality again.
00:33:52Miss Van Ness, we're so sorry! We can't lose our jobs, please!
00:33:57Please give us another chance!
00:33:59Forgive us, we didn't mean it, we're so sorry!
00:34:01Remove!
00:34:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:05Get off, that hurts!
00:34:07We're so sorry! We're so sorry!
00:34:15Miss Stacy, again, I am terribly sorry and absolutely devastated about what just happened.
00:34:20It's not your fault, at all.
00:34:23Do you have what I asked for?
00:34:25Oh, the ring has been authenticated.
00:34:29The ring is real, the ring.
00:34:34Coat pocket.
00:34:38The ring is a VVS1 pink diamond, appraised at 4.2 million dollars.
00:34:50He didn't lie to me. It's real.
00:34:59Stacy, Stacy, who are you?
00:35:05Mr. Winston.
00:35:09I got the watch authenticated for you.
00:35:12Thank you, Nathan.
00:35:15It's real.
00:35:17It's real. Estimated sell price at 5.1 mil?
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:27Who am I getting married to?
00:35:29I guess you'll find out at the engagement party.
00:35:31Thank you.
00:35:45Baby, what if Stacy is the real Venus Eris?
00:35:49I mean, I don't want to believe it, but, wait, she recognized that wine?
00:35:54I've already told you a million times, she's not.
00:35:56But Benjamin Dotto defended her and let him press charges against everyone.
00:36:01That's because they know each other.
00:36:03When I dated Stacy, she told me she worked at the Van Ness wineries all throughout college.
00:36:08Right, that's how she knew the wine tasting.
00:36:12Yeah, bingo.
00:36:14And with old Ben, I mean, you've seen how she is. So thirsty and kiss ass all the time.
00:36:19Oh my god, I bet she's banging Benjamin Dotto. That's why you defended her.
00:36:24Ew.
00:36:26You never know with hoes these days.
00:36:27That bitch. That bad bitch.
00:36:31She tries to show her broke ass face here today?
00:36:34I say we show her the real Van Ness Eris.
00:36:37Where is she, by the way?
00:36:39And where's Charles Winston?
00:36:41Baby, they'll come.
00:36:44I've told you, you can't even fathom how much they value me.
00:36:48They think I'm this generation's Michelangelo or Da Vinci or whatever.
00:36:52They practically beg for my interior designs.
00:36:54Really? That's hot.
00:36:58Oh my god, look at that car.
00:37:02I've never seen one of those in person.
00:37:04That's gotta be the Van Ness Eris or Charles Winston.
00:37:07Look alive, Mary.
00:37:24What the hell? Stacy?
00:37:32Miss Stacy.
00:37:37I still think it's a bad idea for you to go alone.
00:37:42It's fine, Ben. If they want to see the Van Ness Eris, I'll give them what they want.
00:37:48But what if they don't believe you? Again?
00:37:51Again.
00:37:53And how is that possible? They aren't that stupid.
00:37:59What the fuck? Stacy's actually the Van Ness Eris?
00:38:03No way. Look how she's talking to Benjamin Dodo.
00:38:06I mean, she's probably saying that she'll suck him off if he goes along with her lie.
00:38:11You're right, baby. You're a genius.
00:38:14That girl is shameless.
00:38:17Congratulations, you two.
00:38:19As Eris of the Van Ness family, I give you my blessing.
00:38:24Now, security. Escort out this imposter.
00:38:30You're kidding me.
00:38:32Drop it, Stacy. We see right through you.
00:38:35Just because you're sleeping with Benjamin Dodo, a butler, doesn't make you an Eris.
00:38:41Sleeping with him? Ew. Ben is like an uncle to me.
00:38:46I'm glad you see how gross that is.
00:38:49I never thought you'd stoop so low as to spite me like this, Stacy.
00:38:53Selling your body just to get in that car?
00:38:56What? That car belongs to me. Ben just drives it.
00:39:01Oh my god. Stop with the lies. Security!
00:39:06I'm Pete Davis' fiancé and we're VIPs at the Winston Hotel.
00:39:11And this prostitute is bothering us.
00:39:14Of course. Mr. Davis' engagement party is our top priority today.
00:39:19Mr. Winston himself is on his way.
00:39:21You hear that? Save yourself the embarrassment and get the fuck out of here.
00:39:26It's about time I met this Winston kid. There's no way I'm leaving.
00:39:31I'm not going anywhere. Guards.
00:39:37Try and remove me, gentlemen. But you will be facing the consequences.
00:39:42That's the V.A.V.I.P. pass to the Winston Hotel.
00:39:48How the fuck is this possible?
00:39:51You don't believe me? That's fine. But here's solid, tangible proof.
00:39:58All I see is a gold guard. What is that proof?
00:40:03Please excuse Ms. Carter. She exists in a different tax bracket.
00:40:07Would you be so kind as to explain what this card is?
00:40:11The card she holds is the highest level of membership in Winston Properties.
00:40:15Malls. Hotels.
00:40:17We heard Kim Kardashian applied for it last month and was denied.
00:40:20That's true. Taylor made sure of that.
00:40:23Taylor?
00:40:25Swift. She's a fellow cardholder here.
00:40:27That's me. Oprah. Taylor. Beyoncé. And Ryan.
00:40:32Reynolds?
00:40:34Gosling.
00:40:35Gosling.
00:40:39We're very sorry, miss. Please, let us escort you inside.
00:40:43This is unacceptable. She is lying. She obviously forged the card.
00:40:47Ma'am, if you get any closer to her, we're going to have to remove you.
00:40:50This is my engagement party?
00:40:53When Charles Winston gets here, I'm going to make sure you both get fired.
00:40:57For letting me, the person he's supposed to marry, into his hotel?
00:41:06You can try. I'll see you inside.
00:41:22Look at that dress. I saw it on the runway at Milan Fashion Week.
00:41:27Who is that?
00:41:29I bet she's one of those crazy rich heiresses.
00:41:32Maybe it's me.
00:41:33Crazy rich heiresses.
00:41:35Maybe it's Miss Van Ness.
00:41:37I can't believe I was about to marry Pete.
00:41:40This would have been my engagement party.
00:41:43But, I met Charles instead.
00:41:47I hope he shows up today.
00:41:49Hey, Stacey!
00:41:51Ah!
00:42:00And that's for stealing the VVVIP card from me.
00:42:05What?!
00:42:08I didn't steal anything. That card is mine.
00:42:12Oh, really?
00:42:13The VVVIP Winston Hotel card that only Oprah, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Ryan Gosling has?
00:42:22You want everyone to accept that they rejected Kim Kardashian, but accepted you.
00:42:27Because I'm Stacey Van Ness, the heiress of the Van Ness family.
00:42:31You?
00:42:33Hey, all of you. Any of you.
00:42:36Do you recognize this girl?
00:42:39And do you guys recognize my fiancé, Pete Davis?
00:42:43Of course. We've golfed together for years.
00:42:46Yeah, he was just on the Forbes magazine.
00:42:49So please, tell me.
00:42:51Is it more plausible that I have a VVVIP card?
00:42:55Keep in mind, the location of my engagement party.
00:43:00Or this tacky bimbo.
00:43:02Who doesn't know anyone here?
00:43:04Of course it's you. Give him back his card.
00:43:07I don't know anyone here.
00:43:08Because I only hang out with the people who employ you.
00:43:12And the people you only see in the magazines.
00:43:16Give me the card. Before I get you kicked out.
00:43:20It's mine. I'm not giving it to you.
00:43:24That's enough.
00:43:26I am calling Steven, the general manager here.
00:43:31No need to bother my pops.
00:43:34If you actually have his number, which I doubt.
00:43:39What's this spread on about, Pete?
00:43:41This imposter stole my VVVIP card.
00:43:44And now she's acting like she's some big shot.
00:43:46The Winston VVVIP card?
00:43:49Since when did you have that?
00:43:51Oh, yeah. Recently.
00:43:53After I signed that contract with Chateau Van Ness.
00:43:56Your dad's probably been really busy, so he hasn't told you.
00:43:59He's lying.
00:44:01The card is mine. I'm Stacy Van Ness.
00:44:03And if you're Steven's son, you should know who I am.
00:44:06You said she's your ex?
00:44:08Yeah. She's totally out of her mind.
00:44:11Ever since I broke up with her, she's been pretending to be the Van Ness heiress.
00:44:14She should go to a mental hospital.
00:44:16Well, the Van Ness heiress's name is Stacy.
00:44:19I've seen it on the guest book.
00:44:24But there's no way she'd date you.
00:44:26No, she's promised to Charles Winston.
00:44:31Also, ex-girlfriends do be trippin'.
00:44:35Yeah.
00:44:39This is ridiculous.
00:44:43Steven, I know it's your day off. I'm so sorry.
00:44:47I'm being humiliated at your hotel by your son.
00:44:53Yeah. Warren.
00:44:57Your dad will be here in ten minutes.
00:45:00I suggest you start drafting your apology and resignation letter.
00:45:03Yeah, right.
00:45:05Pete, I am so sorry you had to date a compulsive liar like her.
00:45:09Security, can we please kick this crazy woman out and blacklist her from all Winston properties, please?
00:45:20You have three seconds to step away from my fiancé.
00:45:25Like Dover, or you're gonna lose more than just your jobs.
00:45:28What?
00:45:29What?
00:45:32Did I say stop? Do you guys remember who daddy is here? Take her away!
00:45:43Sorry, I'm late.
00:45:46I didn't think you'd make it.
00:45:48Oh, great. This just keeps getting better and better.
00:45:51Cinderella got a little makeover and brought her little pumpkin man.
00:45:55No, babe, that's the carriage.
00:45:57What?
00:45:59I'm only hitting because the pumpkin turned into a carriage, not a man.
00:46:03The mouse.
00:46:05Babe, that's the horse.
00:46:07Fuck.
00:46:09Two absolute idiots. I can't believe it.
00:46:12What are you calling an idiot? Pete Davis is now a VVVIP cardholder at the Winston Hotel. Who the fuck are you?
00:46:19Really? This twit holds a triple VIP card at my hotel. That's hilarious.
00:46:26Your hotel. Okay, that's new.
00:46:29Unless you're my dad and I forgot what you look like, or you're gonna tell me you're Charles Winston, there's no way this is your hotel.
00:46:36That's exactly right, actually.
00:46:38Charles, don't do this. You shouldn't pretend to be Winston on my turn.
00:46:43I'm Charles Winston, and this is my hotel. And you, whatever your name is, you're fired.
00:46:52Okay, you expect me to buy that? First this one walks in claiming she's Stacey Van Ness, now you're gonna tell me you're Charles Winston?
00:47:01Everyone knows that Charles Winston is known to keep a low profile. Yeah, there's no way he'd name drop like that.
00:47:08It's not name dropping if I'm just telling you who I am.
00:47:11Baby, I'm bored. Can we just get the party started already?
00:47:15Yeah. Warren, escort these two losers out.
00:47:18Gladly. You know what? I'm gonna send these to my dad. Show him that we taught these fools a lesson.
00:47:26Security, kick him out.
00:47:28Don't you dare touch him. Your dad is going to be here at any moment. If I know him, he's going to disown you at the least. I suggest you stop it now.
00:47:38Stacey, you don't have to do this. This is my hotel.
00:47:41You authenticated the watch.
00:47:43You authenticated the ring.
00:47:44I trust you. Do you trust me? Do you trust me?
00:47:50What if she's actually a Van Ness? Why would she run from our engagement then?
00:47:56Yeah, I trust you.
00:47:58Oh, how touching. I want to puke.
00:48:02Please, Stacey, if you're going to throw yourself at a man, at least choose someone who's not a fraud.
00:48:07A fraud? And a fraud, they deserve each other.
00:48:11They deserve each other.
00:48:13Great. They can live their little lives together in jail.
00:48:16Security, you're putting your hands on my guards now? You got some fucking balls.
00:48:22Hold your goddamn horses.
00:48:25Dad, I thought you were in New York.
00:48:30What the fuck, dad? What was that for?
00:48:35What the fuck, dad? What was that for?
00:48:37That's for being ignorant and blind. Have you learned nothing?
00:48:39What are you talking about? I was just about to kick these broke-ass people out.
00:48:44Hey, dad, you had no idea what they did. That dumbass with the fake watch is pretending to be Charles Winston.
00:48:49Shut the fuck up. From this day forward, you are no longer my son. You are disowned.
00:48:54Oh my god, that Stacey girl called it.
00:48:57How'd she know? What if she really is Miss Van Ness?
00:49:02I don't understand.
00:49:04Is this how you manage people at my hotel?
00:49:05I am so sorry, Mr. Winston. I should have never left my son in charge of this venue. Please accept my resignation.
00:49:12Wait, what's going on? You should be apologizing to us for letting these two losers ruin our engagement party.
00:49:18True. And we wasted two glasses of champagne dumping it on this bitch.
00:49:23You dumped champagne on my fiance?
00:49:25She's... she's his fiance?
00:49:29Mr. Winston, my resignation is not enough.
00:49:31Please press charges against my son.
00:49:34What? Old man, are you out of your goddamn mind? Can't you see who the rich people are here?
00:49:39You are beyond saving. This man right here, the one you've been insulting, this is Charles Winston.
00:49:45CEO of the Winston Group. And owner of this hotel.
00:49:54No, that's not... that's not possible.
00:49:57Oh my god.
00:50:00No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that he...
00:50:03Do I need to repeat myself? This is Charles Winston, grandson to Hugo Winston. And the heir to the Winston Empire.
00:50:10You really are Charles Winston?
00:50:12I've been trying to tell you, Stacey.
00:50:16Keep the ring. It's real.
00:50:19Yeah, I guess you have. All this time, I was trying to run from you. But I'm still engaged to you in the end.
00:50:27Now that we have things cleared up, allow me to formally introduce myself. I'm Charles Winston. And this is my fiance.
00:50:37No, you're supposed to marry the Van Ness heiress.
00:50:39I decide who I marry. And I know the Van Ness type. Spoiled, entitled, airheaded.
00:50:46That's what he thinks of me?
00:50:48I'd rather marry a nobody like Stacey.
00:50:51Maybe I'll be your nobody for a while longer.
00:50:53Wait, wait, wait. No. You married richer than me?
00:51:00Sorry. Mr. Winston, I'm so sorry for doubting you. You see, it's just that Pete and Worm were coming on so strong, I had to believe them, you know?
00:51:10Let me start over. I'm Irina Carter.
00:51:13I know who you are.
00:51:15Oh my god. I am so honored. You're making me blush.
00:51:18And I don't want to see you ever again. Stephen, you can keep your job. But your son, this disgusting gold digger, and her liar boyfriend must never ever show their faces in front of me again.
00:51:31Sir, Mr. Winston, of course. But son, I have no son. Security, get these two phonies out of here.
00:51:39Okay, wait. So what if you're Winston, huh? Everyone knows you have money problems. That's why you have to marry the Van Ness heiress.
00:51:45Now you're with Stacy? A hand-me-down from yours truly?
00:51:50Good luck keeping your family afloat.
00:51:53Let him say anything. I'll help your family out.
00:51:57I don't think he can do much about this.
00:52:00It's just money, right? Don't worry about it. I don't have much to offer right now, but my family has plenty of cash for playing around.
00:52:07It's time to learn a new trick, Stacy. Isn't playing rich when you have nothing getting boring?
00:52:11Why is this dog still barking?
00:52:13What did you call me?
00:52:15Wait, Mr. Winston, Charles, this bitch is lying to you. She's not rich. She has nothing.
00:52:21And soon, you and your fiancé will have nothing.
00:52:24I hereby terminate all collaborations between our firms. I'll get the official vote tomorrow.
00:52:30And I'll also be withdrawing all of our fundings within your company.
00:52:34Wait, wait, no, no, no. Mr. Winston, Mr. Winston. No, I'm sorry.
00:52:37My apologies. Everything I said earlier was a lie. Stacy's amazing. You guys are an adorable couple.
00:52:42Mr. Winston, just forgive me. I don't even really know Pete. The engagement was a mistake.
00:52:48A mistake, I swear. I'm so sorry.
00:52:54Jesus, you've got champagne all over you.
00:53:01I'm gonna get your shirt dirty.
00:53:03I don't care.
00:53:05Charles, what's going to happen to your family if you don't marry Ms. Van Ness?
00:53:13You don't have to worry about that. They let me take over the company when I was 20, for a reason.
00:53:20I'll figure something out.
00:53:22Charles Winston isn't what I thought he was, at all.
00:53:26He'd risk his family business to be with me.
00:53:29Even if I'm a nobody?
00:53:31Why don't we get you out of here? Get you a new dress.
00:53:35Are you asking me out on a date?
00:53:38Well, you didn't exactly give me a chance last time.
00:53:41The briefs! The briefs!
00:53:46I'm running away with your bike.
00:53:50Let me make it up to you. Let's go shopping. I owe you a whole new outfit.
00:53:55You don't have to give me anything.
00:53:57I insist. I don't want you spending a single penny on me, Mr. Winston.
00:54:02She comes from nothing but wants nothing from me.
00:54:06I didn't know this kind of woman still existed.
00:54:09If that's the case, I'd wear anything you buy me.
00:54:15Not so fast, Charles. I'm not going to let you leave and marry a loser like her.
00:54:19Ella, what are you doing here?
00:54:22Wait, is that Ella from the Young family?
00:54:25The Young family? Isn't that the richest family in Taiwan?
00:54:28Yeah, steel manufacturers.
00:54:30I thought you left me to marry the Van Ness heiress.
00:54:33But instead, you picked up a homeless girl from the streets.
00:54:37What?
00:54:39I thought you left me to marry the Van Ness heiress.
00:54:42But instead, you picked up a homeless girl from the streets.
00:54:44I didn't leave you. We were never together.
00:54:48That's not up to you, sweetheart.
00:54:50You're the man I want, and I always get what I want.
00:54:54Not this time, Ella. I'm engaged.
00:55:03I'm engaged.
00:55:05Engaged? To this?
00:55:08What do you even see in her?
00:55:10She has no power, no status, no money.
00:55:13She has nothing to offer you.
00:55:15Who says I don't?
00:55:17And I never needed her to offer me anything.
00:55:20Marriage isn't about money.
00:55:23That might be the case for you, Charles.
00:55:26But we know that marriage is all about money for her.
00:55:29Everyone knows that's why you want to marry him.
00:55:33I don't know.
00:55:34Everyone knows that's why you want to marry him.
00:55:38Well, I've got money too.
00:55:46It's $20,000 in cash. It's what I carry around daily.
00:55:49I can give you that and many times more if you take off that ring and leave him right now.
00:55:55Oh my God, I've never seen such a fat stack of cash in my life.
00:56:01There's no way she's going to say no to that.
00:56:04So, what's your price? Half a million?
00:56:08A million?
00:56:11Five million?
00:56:15She's always wanted to be an heiress.
00:56:18I shouldn't expect her to turn this down.
00:56:20Wow, you really do know your worth, don't you?
00:56:23Greed isn't a good color on you, missy.
00:56:26Greed?
00:56:28I'm still trying to wrap my head around you thinking you could buy me out for a few million dollars.
00:56:37I'm still trying to wrap my head around you thinking you could buy me out for a few million dollars.
00:56:43Oh, I get it. You've got to be kidding me.
00:56:45I'm still trying to wrap my head around you thinking you could buy me out for a few million dollars.
00:56:49Oh, I get it. You've never seen money money.
00:56:52But still, I did expect more from a young...
00:56:56Excuse me?
00:56:58Our families do quite a lot of business together, Miss Young.
00:57:01Shame that that's probably going to have to come to a stop.
00:57:04Business? What kind of business could I possibly have to do with someone like you?
00:57:12I honestly am embarrassed for you.
00:57:15It's not embarrassing to be poor, but to pretend to be something you're not?
00:57:21Now that's something to be ashamed of.
00:57:24What the hell did you just say to me?
00:57:26Do not touch my fiancé, Ella. I'll make you regret coming here today.
00:57:31Do not touch my fiancé, Ella. I'll make you regret coming here today.
00:57:36How dare you speak to me like that? Don't forget I was your grandpa's favorite growing up.
00:57:41Right. Why don't you go marry him?
00:57:44If it weren't for the Van Ness heiress, I would have never given you up.
00:57:48I don't care what happens today. I'm not going to let you marry this broke gold digger.
00:57:52I think you've misread the situation, Ella.
00:57:56You don't have a single say in who I marry.
00:57:59Neither does my grandpa.
00:58:01Not very good of you, Charles, to bite the hand that feeds.
00:58:09Is that Hugo Winston?
00:58:11Oh my God, he hasn't made a public appearance since he's passed down the company to Charles Winston.
00:58:16Grandpa Winston, I missed you so much.
00:58:19Ella, my sweet child.
00:58:26Thank you for coming.
00:58:28No, Ella. Thank you for calling me.
00:58:31I don't know what other outrageous acts of rebellion he would have done if you didn't.
00:58:36Ella, you were the one who called my grandpa?
00:58:38Yes, and thank God she did.
00:58:41I see you were about to botch the marriage I arranged for you and marry a nobody instead.
00:58:49Not just a nobody, Grandpa Winston. A liar.
00:58:53She said she's more successful than us. Richer than us.
00:58:56She said I embarrassed her.
00:58:58I may be a lot of things, but a liar isn't one of them.
00:59:02Oh yeah? Then let's see you match this.
00:59:05Oh, what is all this?
00:59:08Gifts for you, Grandpa Winston. I'm hoping you can reconsider Charles' marriage.
00:59:14I'm hoping he can marry me instead.
00:59:21Well, Ella, that is a very big ask.
00:59:25I came prepared. Here is my first gift to you.
00:59:29Here is my first gift to you.
00:59:32An unreleased 2025 Aston Martin Vantage.
00:59:37Oh my God. I've seen that car in a show once. It's gorgeous.
00:59:41An unreleased model with limited edition paint that must cost at least...
00:59:462.2 million. Yours now.
00:59:49Toys. Boring.
00:59:52Did you just call my gift a toy?
00:59:54I mean, it's a very nice car.
00:59:58But anyone can have nice cars.
01:00:01I'm sure Grandpa Winston can have any Aston Martin that he wants.
01:00:06You can do better. I'm sure.
01:00:09Bold of you to say when you showed up empty handed.
01:00:12You want to see something really special?
01:00:14I'll show you something you can't even imagine seeing in person.
01:00:18This is one of the first pocket watches ever made in human history.
01:00:24It's a family heirloom. It's dated back to the mid-15th century.
01:00:29Wait. I have seen that pocket watch in a museum.
01:00:32It was the first luxury good traded between the East and the West.
01:00:36We lent it to the Met for a couple years, but I want you to have it, Grandpa Winston.
01:00:40It's currently valued at 9 million dollars.
01:00:42A 9 million dollar watch?
01:00:44And that's just the current price. It's only going to go up from here.
01:00:47Third gift.
01:00:49The keys to one of the most famous mansions in Beverly Hills.
01:00:53I just bought it from Kylie Jenner, who happens to be a close friend of mine.
01:01:01What? Kylie Jenner's house is at least 35 million dollars?
01:01:06Yeah, I was there.
01:01:07It's Kylie Jenner's house is at least 35 million dollars.
01:01:11Yeah, I was invited over for a party once and it was the prettiest house I've ever seen.
01:01:16I was just thinking of retiring to the Hills. How did you know?
01:01:21Well, Charles' family is my family. Of course I have to keep updated.
01:01:26That is very sweet of you, Ella. I appreciate it.
01:01:29I appreciate it.
01:01:32Sweet. And cute. But why settle for a mansion when I can offer you prime real estate?
01:01:40What are you talking about?
01:01:42Grandpa Winston, if you were looking to retire, I would recommend a few hundred acres in the Napa Valley.
01:01:49Beverly Hills is nice, but it's getting a bit crowded in my opinion and the tour buses.
01:01:55That's enough. I don't own any land in Napa Valley.
01:01:59I can't help you out with the slide.
01:02:01I admit, land in Napa Valley would be better than a mansion in Beverly Hills.
01:02:06But any informed member of the upper class would know that an anonymous buyer bought those lots years ago.
01:02:12You're right. No amount of money could secure a plot in Napa Valley now.
01:02:17Yeah. What are you on about?
01:02:20Because I bought them all.
01:02:26Because I bought them all.
01:02:27What?
01:02:28Grandpa Winston, I would be more than happy to gift you a plot of land in Napa.
01:02:34It's fairly close to the wineries and it can hold up to two mansions.
01:02:39One of your plots? Did I hear that right?
01:02:42Charles, your fiancee here knows no shame.
01:02:46People boast to impress me all the time, but I've never heard such a ridiculous lie.
01:02:54Stacy, let me handle this.
01:02:55I'm not lying, Grandpa Winston.
01:02:58Erwin should be here in ten minutes and he will prove everything I just said.
01:03:02Who the hell's Erwin?
01:03:04General manager of the Van Ness Group.
01:03:08Erwin Thompson? You mean to tell me that you, a nobody, know Erwin Thompson personally?
01:03:15I don't just know him. He works for me.
01:03:18Grandpa Winston, I am a big believer in family values.
01:03:22If you are Charles' grandfather, you're mine too.
01:03:26And I would never, ever allow my grandfather to accept such cheap, tasteless mockeries.
01:03:34Bitch, did you just call my gifts cheap and tasteless?
01:03:37Because they are.
01:03:53OMG, what the hell just happened?
01:03:57She broke the nine million dollar watch.
01:04:00What is the meaning of this?
01:04:03What a disgrace!
01:04:06An absolute disgrace.
01:04:09What the hell? What the hell? You bitch!
01:04:14Oh, I just moved these bits of trash to the ground, where they belong.
01:04:19Stacy, why would you do that?
01:04:20Do you have any idea how much money these things cost me? How are you going to pay me back?
01:04:26Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of this adds up to be less than 50 million dollars?
01:04:31That's not even half of what I prepared.
01:04:34Okay, fine. Walk it like you talk it.
01:04:39Show us what you've brought.
01:04:42I will. I'll show you in a few minutes.
01:04:50In ten minutes, I'll show you.
01:04:53Show me what? More embarrassment?
01:04:56I thought you had good judgment, grandson.
01:04:59But this is the type of woman you'd marry? This shameless, tasteless brat?
01:05:05I'll pay Ella back.
01:05:07Pay me back? With what?
01:05:09Your company's in deep waters, and you can't even keep your assets.
01:05:13Where are you going to get 50 million dollars?
01:05:16I suggest you take my hand in marriage.
01:05:18I can let all these gifts go, and all your problems will go away.
01:05:22Charles, if you're the man I think you are, you'll stay, and I'll give you everything you need.
01:05:27Charles, stop acting like a child. Stand up for your family.
01:05:33I am standing up for my family. Stacy is my fiancé, and I'm not marrying anyone else.
01:05:41I'll find a way to pay you back, Ella. With interest.
01:05:45You won't need to.
01:05:46You won't need to.
01:05:56That's Erwin Thompson from the Van Ness Group.
01:06:08I come bearing gifts.
01:06:10That's Erwin Thompson from the Van Ness Group.
01:06:13Erwin Thompson's really here?
01:06:14Erwin Thompson's really here?
01:06:16She wasn't lying. Look at those gifts.
01:06:19No way. Does Stacy really know the Van Ness family?
01:06:23Hugo Winston, on behalf of the Van Ness family, I present to you an original painting by none other than Da Vinci himself.
01:06:33I know that painting. It was sold in 2021 for 12 million dollars.
01:06:39Our second gift to you, a 59.9 carat flawless pink diamond.
01:06:46A flawless pink diamond? That big? I've never seen anything like it.
01:06:51Oh fuck, we're not done yet. We're just getting to the good part.
01:07:00Um, it can't be.
01:07:03The land titles to original undeveloped plots in the heart of Napa Valley.
01:07:12The land titles to original undeveloped plots in the heart of Napa Valley.
01:07:18But those have been bought.
01:07:22Yes, by Miss Van Ness two years ago and now I gift them to you on her behalf.
01:07:29Miss Van Ness?
01:07:32What if, what if?
01:07:35What if Stacy's actually the Van Ness heiress?
01:07:38That, that is too generous of her.
01:07:43This is crazy. Miss Van Ness just called me poor without even showing up here.
01:07:47I heard she's one of the richest people in the world right now, but these gifts and the land? That must be worth at least 200 million.
01:07:56Some companies net worths are 200 million and just for gifts?
01:07:59These gifts are beyond generous, but may I ask why would Miss Van Ness do this for me?
01:08:06Funny you should ask. Each and every one of you claiming to be a member of the upper class, yet none of you had the eyes to recognize a princess among you.
01:08:17Princess among us? Could it be?
01:08:20Allow me to formally introduce, with great honor, the heiress of the Van Ness family, the Napa princess herself.
01:08:28Who is getting married in a few days?
01:08:31Miss Van Ness is getting married in a few days and she would like you all to come.
01:08:40Miss Van Ness is getting married? To, to whom?
01:08:46Well, to you. Miss Van Ness brought these gifts over for Charles to show her excitement for their marriage.
01:08:54Uh, yes. Why yes she did.
01:08:59This Van Ness heiress sent over 200 million dollars worth of gifts just for a man and I wanted to take him from her?
01:09:07What was I thinking? Wait a second, these gifts have nothing to do with you.
01:09:12These gifts are for Miss Van Ness. Why did you pretend you were Miss Van Ness?
01:09:16Wait, that's so true, the way she talked about those gifts.
01:09:20It was as if she had bought them herself.
01:09:22Charles Winston, if you want to stay a Winston, break off your engagement to Stacy at once.
01:09:31You will marry Miss Van Ness whether you like it or not.
01:09:37You will marry Miss Van Ness whether you like it or not.
01:09:41This is ridiculous. Miss Van Ness is right here.
01:09:46Why doesn't Miss Van Ness want me to tell everyone who she is?
01:09:49Why doesn't Miss Van Ness want me to tell everyone who she is?
01:09:52I gave up years of my life to Pete, only to have him dump me for someone he thought was richer.
01:09:58Charles, show me who you are.
01:10:06Um, sorry.
01:10:11But, I'm gonna marry Stacy, no matter what.
01:10:15No matter what.
01:10:17Are you kidding me?
01:10:19You're gonna give up an easy way out of all your money troubles just to marry this useless lying brat?
01:10:25I'm not giving up or sacrificing anything.
01:10:29Things are just things, and I can always get more.
01:10:33But, there's only one Stacy.
01:10:37Well, I hope you remember that when Miss Van Ness comes for the both of you.
01:10:40Well, too bad I am Miss Van Ness.
01:10:44Doubt that's gonna happen.
01:10:46Charles Winston, are you trying to give me a heart attack?
01:10:51You irresponsible, reckless...
01:10:54I can't think of one thing more irresponsible than ditching my fiance for money, Grandpa.
01:11:01Tell me well, I would never do that.
01:11:04Let's go get you a clean new dress.
01:11:08I'm peeing.
01:11:10Whatever you say.
01:11:30How are you in such a good mood?
01:11:32I mean, back there they spilled champagne on you, and they caught you lie after lie after lie.
01:11:39Not a lie.
01:11:41Ella almost ate you, and my grandpa almost skinned you alive.
01:11:47But, I had you on my side.
01:11:51Didn't I?
01:11:53Yeah, you did.
01:11:57And that's all that matters.
01:11:59And don't worry, I'm on your side too.
01:12:03So, everything's gonna be okay.
01:12:10Sure, Stacy.
01:12:13Thanks.
01:12:22Wait, I can tell my driver.
01:12:25Cab's already here.
01:12:27Let's go.
01:12:39Stacy, this boutique is all designer. I thought you wanted to pay for everything.
01:12:45I do. I am. I show up here all the time.
01:12:49Hannah?
01:12:50What's that smell? Did someone spill something?
01:12:54Excuse me, I'm here to shop with my fiancée. She got champagne spilled on her dress.
01:13:00Outlet malls across the street.
01:13:02Where's Hannah?
01:13:04Hannah? As in our VIP sales rep?
01:13:08She's out.
01:13:10Plus, she only takes clients who have VIP passes here.
01:13:15Not some random girl.
01:13:17Where's yours?
01:13:21How would I know to carry your store card to an engagement party?
01:13:25Right.
01:13:27Look, if you're broke, just say so.
01:13:30Now please leave. You reek of alcohol.
01:13:35Cheap alcohol.
01:13:38The stench will stay on our clothes.
01:13:40Hold on.
01:13:42Is this the card you wanted to see?
01:13:45Is this the card you wanted to see?
01:13:49Where did you get that?
01:13:51What do you mean, where did you get that?
01:13:53Take a good look. Your membership cards are personalized. This has my name engraved on it.
01:14:00Mr.
01:14:02Mr.
01:14:04Mr.
01:14:06Mr.
01:14:08Mr.
01:14:11Mr. Winston.
01:14:13I am so sorry.
01:14:15What was it you called my fiancée?
01:14:18A random girl who smells in the morning after?
01:14:22Miss, I am so, so, so sorry.
01:14:26I didn't mean it.
01:14:28You know what? I am here to help you with anything.
01:14:32If you need anything, let me know.
01:14:34In fact, I will go get a dressing room set up for you right now.
01:14:38Miss Vaness?
01:14:40Yeah, it's Maggie.
01:14:42Didn't you say you were marrying a Charles Winston?
01:14:47Yeah, well, he is here with another woman right now.
01:14:52Yes, I am positive.
01:14:54You need to get here now.
01:14:56I could have handled this on my own.
01:14:59But thank you for saving me again.
01:15:05Why do you keep pretending to be Miss Vaness?
01:15:08This isn't pretending.
01:15:10I'm just trying to help you.
01:15:12I'm trying to help you.
01:15:14I'm trying to help you.
01:15:16I'm trying to help you.
01:15:18I'm trying to help you.
01:15:20I'm trying to help you.
01:15:22I'm trying to help you.
01:15:23This isn't pretending.
01:15:31I used to be entitled and spoiled.
01:15:34Everything you said about Miss Vaness was true.
01:15:38But then I met Pete at school.
01:15:42We had a class together and he needed a pen.
01:15:48That's all it took for him to start pursuing me.
01:15:51A pen.
01:15:54And I thought maybe for the first time ever,
01:15:58someone could love me
01:16:00because of who I was and not my last name.
01:16:09I like who you are.
01:16:14I like you too.
01:16:16Charles!
01:16:18What the hell are you doing with another woman?
01:16:22Who are you?
01:16:24I'm Laura Vaness.
01:16:26Heiress to the Vaness family and Charles' fiance.
01:16:32You're the heiress to the Vaness family.
01:16:35You're saying you're me.
01:16:38You're saying you're me.
01:16:40Who the hell are you?
01:16:42I heard there was an imposter going around claiming to be me.
01:16:46The only imposter here is you.
01:16:52Miss Vaness, you made it.
01:16:55And I've seen this trick countless times already.
01:16:59Mr. Winston, the woman standing next to you is a fraud.
01:17:03Wait, so you're Charles Winston.
01:17:07You're way hotter than in the tabloids.
01:17:11Meatier.
01:17:13I like meat.
01:17:15Please get your hands off my fiance.
01:17:17The one thing about you?
01:17:19You're blind.
01:17:21How could you fall for such a cheap imposter?
01:17:24Look at this. It's not even silk.
01:17:26Where'd you find that? The flea market?
01:17:29Ignore them. Let's go somewhere else.
01:17:32Get your asses back here.
01:17:35You think I'm just going to let you go after you've come here pretending to be me?
01:17:39I'm sending you to the police for fraud.
01:17:44I'm sending you to the police for fraud.
01:17:48You know, I'm really starting to wonder who you are.
01:17:54I've already told you.
01:17:56I'm Laura Vaness.
01:17:59Heiress to the Vaness family.
01:18:02They call me the Napa Princess.
01:18:04Really? Prove it.
01:18:11Have a look, imposter.
01:18:13Have a look, imposter.
01:18:15A real VIP card for a real Vaness.
01:18:20I see.
01:18:22It's starting to make sense now.
01:18:25What the hell are you doing?
01:18:29I'm calling Ben.
01:18:31Laura Vaness.
01:18:33You're that distant cousin who grew up in Europe and always likes to tell people you're me.
01:18:40How did you know about that?
01:18:44I have heard so much about you and none of it was good.
01:18:49You spent years in boarding school blowing through our family fortune
01:18:54and taking your friends to lavish parties telling everyone that you are the Vaness Heiress
01:19:02when in reality, you're no one compared to me.
01:19:07That's... that's not true.
01:19:10I am the Vaness Heiress.
01:19:11Who is this girl?
01:19:13Is she...
01:19:15Stacey Vaness?
01:19:17But Stacey is the Napa Princess. There's no way she'd dress like this.
01:19:22Drenched in spoiled champagne.
01:19:24Miss Vaness, what is she talking about?
01:19:27Her VIP card.
01:19:29The label says A002.
01:19:31Doesn't it?
01:19:33As the store clerk, do you not know who the A001 card belongs to?
01:19:38I...
01:19:39Don't listen to her.
01:19:51Ben? Yes, it's Laura.
01:19:54I'm at the boutique and some random peasant girl is harassing me.
01:19:58Yes, right now.
01:20:01I'll give you five minutes to get here or I'm telling Mom and Dad.
01:20:05Don't come any closer.
01:20:06I've just called Ben Dotto, the manager of Chateau Vaness.
01:20:11I'll give you one minute to disappear before he fucks you up.
01:20:14Oh.
01:20:16Ladies don't curse.
01:20:18Vaness rule number one.
01:20:21Our family should be ashamed of you.
01:20:25You bitch.
01:20:33That's enough.
01:20:34That's enough.
01:20:37Both of you.
01:20:40Stacy, I don't think Laura's bluffing.
01:20:43She might actually be the Vaness heiress.
01:20:45Let's get out of here before Benjamin Dotto comes and things get complicated.
01:20:50Who is the random peasant girl harassing Miss Laura?
01:20:54This bitch.
01:20:56She tore up my VIP card and said that my family would be ashamed of me.
01:21:00Hey, you.
01:21:03Right there.
01:21:05Do you know who you are messing with?
01:21:08You better apologize to Miss Laura right now and buy her a new card.
01:21:15And why should I do that?
01:21:17Because you little ragamuffin, you dilettante, you Miss Stacy, you...
01:21:22Miss Stacy!
01:21:25Miss Stacy!
01:21:29And what were you saying about who I was messing with?
01:21:32Miss Stacy, I...
01:21:34You... I...
01:21:36What are you doing here?
01:21:38What the hell is going on?
01:21:40Ben, she's pretending to be the Vaness heiress.
01:21:43Miss LeBlanc, can't you tell? Miss Stacy is the...
01:21:47No, no. Miss Stacy is the...
01:21:50One of Miss Vaness' closest friends.
01:21:53Yes, that.
01:21:55See, basically, you are Miss Vaness.
01:21:59Oh, in that she should be treated with the same very high regard.
01:22:09You're friends with Miss Vaness?
01:22:11But, I mean, why didn't you tell me?
01:22:17Why didn't you tell me?
01:22:21Well...
01:22:24I wasn't sure how to explain it.
01:22:26I kind of stole you from her.
01:22:31No wonder why she's always saying she's a Vaness.
01:22:35I suggest you apologize to Miss Stacy right now.
01:22:39Otherwise, things could be bad. Really, really bad.
01:22:45What for?
01:22:47I'm not going to apologize to some rando who's close with my cousin.
01:22:51This is what I will do.
01:22:53I'm going to report you both to my parents.
01:22:56And they'll tell Ralph Vaness.
01:22:59See what happens to you then.
01:23:01Sure. Go tell my dad. We'll see what happens to you.
01:23:10Miss Stacy, should I...
01:23:14This is...
01:23:16My fiancé, Charles Winston.
01:23:19Winston?
01:23:21Charles Winston. It's a pleasure to meet you.
01:23:27Oh, Miss Vaness. After running for so long, you're marrying him after all.
01:23:42Miss Stacy, again, I am terribly, terribly sorry. I had no idea you were friends with Miss Vaness.
01:23:48Don't worry about it. I'm used to it.
01:23:51Just promise me that you will never, ever look down on someone again based on what they're wearing.
01:23:57Yes, I promise.
01:24:01Promise.
01:24:12Okay.
01:24:21Okay.
01:24:34How's it going?
01:24:36Good. Just a little... stuck.
01:24:40Do you need any help?
01:24:42I...
01:24:44Okay.
01:24:46But you're just sipping me up.
01:24:47Yeah.
01:24:49Alright.
01:25:18I'll be outside when you're ready.
01:25:26Stacy.
01:25:28Keep it together.
01:25:30Keep it together.
01:25:32You're a Vaness.
01:25:34He's just a boy.
01:25:36Okay.
01:25:42Thank you.
01:25:44Again, I really could have gotten it.
01:25:47You're going to be my date to the Vaness Aris' wedding.
01:25:50The least I could do is pay for your dress.
01:25:54Are you sure?
01:25:56About bringing me to the wedding that's supposed to be yours?
01:26:00It's not mine.
01:26:02I will marry no one but you.
01:26:07What?
01:26:09Why are you smiling like that?
01:26:11Nothing.
01:26:13I'll see you at my...
01:26:15I'll see you at the Vaness Aris' wedding.
01:26:32Isn't that Charles Winston?
01:26:34It is. Isn't he supposed to be a groom today? No?
01:26:37What is he still doing out here?
01:26:40I don't think...
01:26:42Damn it.
01:26:43Stacy, where are you?
01:26:45You're supposed to be here a half hour ago.
01:27:01I can't do it.
01:27:03What do you mean you can't do it?
01:27:05Miss Stacy, this is the day we've all been waiting for.
01:27:09You want to marry Charles Winston.
01:27:12Don't you?
01:27:14I do.
01:27:16What if he doesn't like me for who I am?
01:27:20What if he doesn't like me for who I am?
01:27:26Miss Stacy,
01:27:30nobody could ever dislike
01:27:35this.
01:27:42No.
01:28:03Stacy, where are you? The wedding started a long time ago.
01:28:06Don't worry. I know the Vaness Aris isn't there yet.
01:28:08I'm on my way. Wait for me inside.
01:28:11Fine. Call me when you get here.
01:28:28Mr. Winston, it is so great to see you again.
01:28:32Oh, the Vaness' really let anyone in here, don't they?
01:28:35What are you trying to say?
01:28:36What are you trying to say?
01:28:38Watch your mouth, Charles Winston.
01:28:41You may have pulled your funding, but my company is still majorly funded by the Vaness Group.
01:28:45Yeah. We'll see how long that lasts.
01:28:48What are you chit-chatting about?
01:28:52Miss Vaness is waiting.
01:29:00Laura, what are you doing here?
01:29:03What, you foolish boy?
01:29:04This is Miss Vaness.
01:29:06That's Miss Vaness?
01:29:08No one told me she was smoking hot.
01:29:11Hi, Miss Vaness.
01:29:15Honored to meet you in person.
01:29:17You shine brighter than all the lights in this room.
01:29:21Simply dazzling.
01:29:29Laura Vaness, I don't know what game you're playing,
01:29:32but it's not a good one.
01:29:34You're a Vaness, but you're not the Vaness.
01:29:39What's he talking about?
01:29:41Well, that may be the case.
01:29:46So what? I'm a Vaness. That's all that matters.
01:29:50And your fiancé is a joke.
01:29:53And a bad one, too, because, well, she's broke.
01:29:56Well, she's broke.
01:30:01Marry me, and I can give you everything.
01:30:08Marry me, and I can give you everything.
01:30:11Everyone, I am not marrying Laura Vaness.
01:30:15She is not the Vaness heiress.
01:30:17She's just a distant cousin.
01:30:20I was just thinking, how is this dumb little girl
01:30:22the heiress to one of the biggest families in the States?
01:30:26What is this?
01:30:28If this isn't the Vaness heiress, then who is?
01:30:33It doesn't matter, because I'm not marrying her.
01:30:36I'm engaged to Stacy V., whom I love and plan to marry.
01:30:40Oh, you foolish boy.
01:30:53That dress is a limited-edition Vera Wing.
01:30:56There's only one of it in the entire world.
01:30:59Who would be able to afford that dress, if not Miss Vaness?
01:31:04Stacy.
01:31:08I'm sorry.
01:31:10I'm sorry.
01:31:12I'm sorry.
01:31:14I'm sorry.
01:31:16I'm sorry.
01:31:18I'm sorry.
01:31:19I'm sorry.
01:31:30My name is Stacy Vaness, and I am the heiress of the Vaness family.
01:31:34If you're the Vaness heiress, I'm the Winston heiress.
01:31:36Oh, no, no, no. If you're the Vaness heiress, then I'm Princess Diana.
01:31:38You can say whatever, Charles.
01:31:40I'll help your family out.
01:31:42Because of who I was, and not my last name.
01:31:46Everything's gonna be okay.
01:31:47You're...
01:31:51You're...
01:31:53You're Stacy Vaness.
01:31:55Wait. Wait.
01:31:58You're Stacy Vaness.
01:32:01Wait.
01:32:03You're an imposter. She's lying.
01:32:07What the fuck are you doing? Don't you know who I am? Get off me.
01:32:11Don't tell us, my man. Tell Miss Vaness.
01:32:14No.
01:32:15You can't be the Vaness heiress.
01:32:19That is for how you treated Miss Stacy all these years.
01:32:24You're...
01:32:26You really miss Vaness.
01:32:28I tried to tell you, Pete.
01:32:31Many, many times.
01:32:34This finger, it wore your ring.
01:32:37And this wedding would have been yours, but...
01:32:41You never believed me.
01:32:46Wait.
01:32:48Wait.
01:32:50Stacy.
01:32:52Miss Vaness.
01:32:54I owe you an apology.
01:32:58You were actually my idol, growing up.
01:33:01And...
01:33:03I heard all about you.
01:33:05And...
01:33:07I'm sorry.
01:33:09I'm sorry.
01:33:11I'm sorry.
01:33:12And...
01:33:13I heard all about you.
01:33:15And how you worked hard for everything that you got.
01:33:18How you were involved in your family business instead of...
01:33:21having everything handed to you on a silver platter.
01:33:25And yet I couldn't recognize you.
01:33:28That just goes to show that we're on different levels.
01:33:32And...
01:33:34I have a lot to work on.
01:33:36I accept your apology, Ella.
01:33:38Ella.
01:33:41Charles Winston.
01:33:44You are a very lucky man.
01:33:48I hope you cherish her.
01:33:56Stacy, uh...
01:33:59I don't know what to say.
01:34:01You look...
01:34:04I'm speechless.
01:34:06Charles Winston.
01:34:09I'm just a girl who bumped into you with her bike.
01:34:17I'm just a girl who...
01:34:19has gotten you in all kinds of trouble.
01:34:25I don't care...
01:34:27which family you come from.
01:34:29And I don't care what your last name is.
01:34:32I just want you...
01:34:33I just want you.
01:34:38Will you be on my side...
01:34:40for the rest of my life?
01:34:44Yes.
01:34:46The rest of our lives.
01:34:49Stacy Van Ness.
01:35:03I'm sorry.
