00:00Your Ronnie is standing right behind you.
00:05Oh, I'm sorry.
00:14It must be somebody who looks like Ronald.
00:16You're despicable, Kate.
00:18Is that all you have?
00:20I hope you were talking as Mrs. Scott the next time you tried to confront me.
00:23Otherwise, you're just a homewrecker.
00:26Just then, the two women saw Ronald standing with an earshot.
00:30Kate was nervous for a moment, and then she calmed down.
00:34So what if he had heard?
00:36She had nothing to fear now.
00:39Ronald stared at this woman who was suddenly so determined for a divorce.
00:46Ronnie, she literally just hit me for no reason.
00:51Kate?
00:57So what if I slapped her?
00:59What are you going to do about it?
01:01The old her would beg for his trust.
01:04Years ago, she had begged him to trust her, but he had not.
01:09Repeatedly telling him that she did not push Emily in the river.
01:13She will not do that anymore.
01:16Oh, look.
01:18Mrs. Scott's finally learned to be honest.
01:21I am so very proud.
01:23It also looks like Mr. Scott has learned his patience,
01:26as he's not jumping to defend Emily immediately.
01:29I am proud of you two.
01:32Kate wanted to step back, but stood there,
01:35defending her very last piece of pride.
01:38She had decided to regain the pride that she had lost two years ago.
01:45I called her a homewrecker.
01:47Now you have to believe I'm yours, and only yours.
01:50This silly divorce business, it can be put out of our minds.
01:54All right?
01:55If you accept what I said, then you have to apologize for hitting her.
01:58If not, you can skip the apology.
02:00Ronald was waiting.
02:02Waiting for her to admit that this was just a game to get his attention.
02:06Kate knew, so she was relaxed.
02:09I am sorry, Miss Taylor.
02:11I didn't mean to.
02:14Inner beauty is a good thing, Kate.
02:19Don't lose it.
02:21Thank you for the reminder.
02:23Dignity is also a good thing, Ronald.
02:25Don't lose it either.
02:27Emily observed the two anxiously.
02:30She didn't want to stay here any longer.
02:32The current Kate was different from the one who constantly bowed to Ronald in the past.
02:38Hey, Artie.
02:40Let's go. We're going to be late.
02:42One sec.
02:43Can you send the dress to the house, please?
02:46Look, here's the deal.
02:50If you attend the cocktail party tonight and don't cause me any problems,
02:55I promise you, I'll sign the divorce papers.
03:00Emily?
03:05Kate stared at Ronald walking away with Emily.
03:09It was exactly like two years ago,
03:12on that night when he had left her alone like a fool.
03:24Sam, weren't you supposed to follow us?
03:28My apologies, Mr. Scott.
03:31As Sam began driving, he looked at the endlessly weeping Emily,
03:37wrapped in Ronald's embrace.
03:39He felt that he must have missed a major Hollywood drama.
03:52The cocktail party was organized by the commercial tycoon,
03:56Mr. Gavin Berker,
03:58to commemorate the signing of a contract with Scott Enterprises.
04:02The participants attending this cocktail party were all business tycoons.
04:08After obtaining information about the event on the news
04:12and confirming the hotel venue,
04:14she is slightly anxious about having to see Ronald and Emily together again.
04:19But she knows she has to do this to get out of this marriage.
04:24However, she had underestimated the degree of Ronald's despicable scheming.
04:39Kate looked at the two people who were embracing each other.
04:43She used the pain caused by her fingertips
04:46that were almost piercing through her palm
04:49to remind herself to not feel sad because of this man.
04:53It was not worth it.
05:19Miss, you alright?
05:28Oh, I'm fine, thanks.
05:33Oh, Mr. Collins.
05:37You've arrived.
05:38Mr. Scott and Mr. Berker have been waiting for you.
05:41Mr. Collins?
05:42Jake Collins?
05:43Kate had an idea.
05:45Hey, Mr. Collins.
05:46Hi, I'm an employee of Scott Enterprise.
05:49Look, there's a matter for which I really need to contact Mr. Berker's secretary,
05:53but my phone's flat so there's no way for me to contact them.
05:56Can you please let me inside?
05:58Jake gazed at her pleading eyes and his body trembled.
06:02Saving someone is more meritorial than building churches.
06:06Come inside with me.
06:07It would be fine as long as she could safely hide until the end of the event,
06:12which meant that she would have accomplished her end of the bargain between them.
06:16She could then get a divorce.
06:18Kate thought.
06:20Jake!
06:21Hey, man.
06:22Didn't you arrive a little while ago?
06:23You're already coming over now.
06:24Hey.
06:25How are you?
06:26I was getting more and more beautiful.
06:28Stop it.
06:29Yeah, she is.
06:33It was nothing, man.
06:34I just met a beautiful lady out there and spoke to her for a bit.
06:38Okay, alright.
06:41Oh.
06:42That her?
06:43Uh-huh.
06:44Alright.
06:46He's the worst.
06:48Mr. and Mrs. Berker, an elderly couple in their seventies, had built an empire from scratch.
06:55They had been with each other through thick and thin.
06:58Today is my last day at the hotel.
07:04I have just signed the last business deal for this hotel.
07:10I would like to thank Mr. Scott for giving me the opportunity.
07:16It's thanks to you we had an opportunity to make a profit, Mr. Berker.
07:19Gavin Berker was a massive brand.
07:21He had built the resort that was steadily making a profit.
07:25But Mr. Berker had also brought Scott Enterprise together in business.
07:30This was clearly to let Scott Enterprise make a profit as well.
07:35Mr. Scott, you deserve all the opportunity from me.
07:42Tonight, I'd like to tell you all a story.
07:48Please turn on the projector.
08:01I'm so sorry, Mr. Berker, I got caught up in something.
08:04Um, here's your little contract.
08:07Oh, please don't be sorry.
08:10This hotel's closing down.
08:13We are the ones who need a favor.
08:18Well, here is your offer letter from the bank.
08:22Mr. Scott's bank is offering me a loan?
08:28What happens if we run out of money?
08:32Well, we had to have a week to review your application.
08:36We had to assess the hotel's reputation and performance.
08:40I'm so sorry I wasn't here earlier.
08:42I had to go back to Houston for my husband's birthday.
08:45I'm so sorry I wasn't here earlier.
08:47I had to go back to Houston for my husband's birthday.
08:50But I'm here now and here you go.
08:55So I've got my hotel.
08:57Well, thank you.
09:01Nice working with you.
09:03It was wonderful working with you, Sue.
09:05Not a problem, Mr. Berker.
09:06Well, that's great.
09:07Good luck with everything, okay?
09:09Well, I thank you too.
09:12Ronald stared at Kate's bleeding arm as the video froze on her.
09:17He remembered his birthday.
09:19Two years ago.
09:22That girl saved my hotel.
09:26Mr. Scott, you probably don't remember that girl.
09:30She was one of your many employees.
09:33Mr. Scott's bank was the only bank to offer me a loan.
09:40All the other banks had refused.
09:45Emily knew that Kate had gotten that wound on her arm
09:48when she had pushed her into the middle of the road two years ago.
09:52Ronald had no idea about the accident
09:56and seemed to lose interest in Kate around that time.
09:59Mr. Scott undeniably helped my hotel.
10:04But that employee, without doubt,
10:09made the Gavin Berker Hotel through and through.
10:15Therefore, Mr. Scott's bank cannot take all the credit.
10:24But on a lighter note, ladies and gentlemen,
10:27because it's so wonderful to see you all here today
10:32and because it's been a real pleasure.
10:51He was not sure if he was impressed with her capability to sneak in
10:55or angry that she showed up to the event.
10:58I'm quite surprised you had a video of me like that.
11:01Thank you for remembering me.
11:03We should be thanking you.
11:06If you should ever need any help in the future,
11:09just let me know.
11:13Mr. Berker, Mrs. Berker.
11:18Trick's getting better, Kate.
11:21I don't want any problems at this party.
11:23Well, you didn't exactly specify where we can get divorced in this place.
11:27So you demand a divorce on the one hand
11:30and plan to arrive with Gavin on the other?
11:34If this isn't some way of trying to get my attention, I don't know what is.
11:37I don't know where Gavin got that video from.
11:40And I don't know why he played it here.
11:43Since you are here,
11:45follow me and why don't we show these wonderful people
11:48just how capable you are as my wife.
11:53Since you don't care about getting embarrassed anymore,
11:56I don't see why I should be worried.
11:58She knew that Ronald wanted to embarrass her.
12:01She knew that she was never supposed to be a place like this.
12:05She wanted him to see that she was a different woman now.
12:09Not the doormat with no voice he had known all these years.
12:13Kate.
12:15Is that all you could find to wear?
12:17How embarrassing.
12:19Embarrassing?
12:22Isn't it embarrassing closing up to someone's husband?
12:28You know, you always did blame Ronnie for not wanting to bring you to events like this, but...
12:33Look at you.
12:35Who would want to bring you and be embarrassed?
12:38Kate was wise enough to know that Emily could not start a fight if she said nothing.
12:53Did you just walk away from me?
12:56Listen.
12:58I have a deal with Ronald that if I can make it through the night without making any trouble,
13:02then he will sign the divorce papers.
13:04And that's what you wanted, wasn't it?
13:06So let's just get through the night without having any trouble.
13:09Okay?
13:13Nice try.
13:21Kate!
13:24You didn't need to do that!
13:29You know, it's no wonder Ronald brings me to these events and not you.
13:34You always do cause such a scene.
13:45Kate looked up and saw Ronald standing with a glass of whiskey calmly in his hand.
13:51He looked at Kate with a sarcastic smile dawning upon his face.
13:56Kate's eyes met his, and they both knew Ronald had just won the bet.
14:04What would Kate do next?
14:06Will she be able to exit her toxic marriage?
