00:29:24Something in your mind
00:29:27Well, it's probably nothing but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you. Oh
00:29:34Being friendly as a part of my job, okay
00:29:40So
00:29:44That's how you got your lawyer, huh
00:29:48Now that you mention it

00:30:29Okay, you go in I'll meet you in there soon, okay
00:30:39I

00:31:01tech
00:31:03Services reaching industries from health care to energy. We have over
00:31:0810,000 employees
00:31:10worldwide
00:31:12Who've worked hard to build this company from the ground up and I was one of them
00:31:16I know them and I believe that I can help lead this company to become
00:31:22everyone's
00:31:23Let's proceed to the vote
00:31:26all in favor
00:31:29I
00:31:31Lost his damn mind. He picked his secret child to be the CEO only because of his guilty conscience
00:31:38Richard if I may I'm not done talking you can't lead us and you're not getting my vote
00:31:47Richard if I may speak go ahead, but I won't change my mind
00:31:51I
00:31:55Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all today who the hell are you well Richard
00:32:01I'm the person who's going to expose you
00:32:04What did you just say?
00:32:06How do I say this?
00:32:08You're a sex pervert
00:32:11What?
00:32:14You see everyone this file
00:32:18Contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard over the past 30 years
00:32:25Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits
00:32:28They're all just allegations and they've all been settled. I'm innocent
00:32:32We've also got in contact with some of the victims and they're willing to come forward and testify
00:32:38You're also stealing money from the company and we have financial records
00:32:48The evidence is clear
00:32:50He's guilty
00:32:53Okay, then let's all vote for Richard Donald's immediate suspension all in favor
00:33:03We have 15 votes the board has decided Richard Donald is officially removed from his position
00:33:11Security escort him out immediately. I know my way
00:33:18And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO

01:09:57Apologizing just don't move
01:10:01Oh
01:10:09The doctor said it was nothing serious, so
01:10:12You'll be out of here soon. Jess. I just want to apologize. I'm so sorry
01:10:18Daniel what are you?
01:10:20apologizing for
01:10:22You saved my mom you saved us
01:10:26Hello again, mr. Thornton
01:10:28Officer you're here. Yes
01:10:31You promised me last week. We get that interview done
01:10:36Officer my husband is injured. He's literally lying in bed. Well, that doesn't change the requirements
01:10:44Just it's okay
01:10:47We can do the interview
01:10:52We can do the interview
01:10:55Are you insane we haven't rehearsed this
01:10:58I'm
01:10:59Jess
01:11:00When you see we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas, there's no better time to do this. You're right
01:11:09We're ready officer
01:11:11Let's start with the question. I asked you last week. When did you two first meet five years and four months ago? I
01:11:19Don't understand
01:11:20Last time you said it was six months ago. And the other one said it was eight months ago. We lied officer
01:11:28It was five years ago
01:11:30At a pool party and we had our first kiss when we first met
01:11:37It sounds pretty far-fetched but for some reason I want to give you to the benefit of the doubt
01:11:46It sounds pretty far-fetched
01:11:49But for some reason I want to give you to the benefit of the doubt
01:11:54Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother. There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me
01:12:01one last question
01:12:03How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:12:13Relax I can tell it's been at least three times
01:12:17Right. Well, that's my interview done. You two are quite the couple. Thank you officer
01:12:2410
01:12:26Daniel she's coming who's coming
01:12:35Your fiancee, that's who
01:12:42Your fiancee, that's who
01:12:45Ashley I guess I'm not done yet. You betrayed my family's trust Daniel Ashley
01:12:53Please can't we talk about this? So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:59Adrian's told me all about you. I don't know what Adrian told you, but it's not what you think
01:13:06Daniel was supposed to marry me and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything
01:13:13Ashley our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture. Oh
01:13:18I
01:13:22See you think this is over
01:13:26I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family. The Thornton name is as good as ruined
01:13:34You can't do that, Ashley
01:13:40Watch me
01:13:43You're not the only heiress here I
01:13:51Own Miller Empire and if you come for the Thorntons
01:13:57The Miller Empire is gonna come for you. So
01:14:02hard
01:14:06You've got guts Jessica I like you
01:14:13I gotta tell you
01:14:15Didn't expect that. This is so much better than watching TV. Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire Daniel
01:14:26I always knew Daniel didn't love me, but he was too afraid of his father
01:14:32To ever go after his true love, but I guess I'm happy
01:14:38That she's found someone who wants the same things as him
01:14:43So
01:14:46That's it
01:14:48That's it
01:14:52Enjoy your happy ending darling
01:14:59Andrea bring the car around
01:15:01You
01:15:03Did that actually just happen
01:15:06Yeah
01:15:07Wow
01:15:08You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love
01:15:14Let's see that
01:15:18This is all your fault mom if you wouldn't have been so reckless and maybe we wouldn't be in this mess
01:15:22Don't put all the blame on me. You're just as much a part of this as I am. Where is it?
01:15:27Here right now
01:15:29Miss me
01:15:30Where have you been just tying up a few loose ends?
01:15:34Don't worry about it. Everything's going according to plan plan. What plan everything's falling apart
01:15:40What
01:15:51Did you do Adrian
01:15:53Well me myself. I've done nothing illegal
01:15:57You two on the other hand
01:15:59That's a different story. You set us up. I'm just ensuring my own safety
01:16:05After all I kept my hands clean
01:16:11Oh, you're not gonna get away with this asshole. I already have
01:16:20Hmm I
01:16:24Remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter used to be a real family home back then
01:16:31Then things just went south
01:16:34Things will be fine again. I promise we'll turn this into a good family house
01:16:39No more
01:16:40Hatred no more backstabbing. I missed you every single day Jess. I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through
01:16:52Jessica
01:16:55I am so sorry
01:16:58Everything I've done to you both. I was wrong and I know I can never fully make up for it
01:17:05But I want to try James you kept us apart for so many years
01:17:09It's gonna be hard to forgive and forget. I know Clara
01:17:16Jess you're right
01:17:20Yeah, I'm fine I just feel
01:17:27Nauseous that's all have you been getting any other symptoms like dizziness or fatigue
01:17:34Oh, yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress
01:17:40Sweetheart you're pregnant. Really? You're showing all the signs Jess
01:17:49We're gonna have a baby wait, that means I'm gonna be a grandpa
01:17:57Yeah
01:18:03Daniel
01:18:08Something you need to do
01:18:12What's this this is a ring your grandma left
01:18:17And I think this is the perfect time to use it
01:18:34Yes, yes
01:18:39Yes, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas and we've been through so much
01:18:44In that time and over the past five years. All I've wanted to do is be with you
01:18:50And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible
01:18:53I want to spend every waking moment in time with you. What I'm trying to say is Jess
01:19:03Will you marry me
01:19:06For real this time
01:19:09Yes, yes
01:19:29What
01:19:3118,000 when of dowries Vani you have a paralyzed mom and a lousy gambling dad to your family
01:19:36I'm a good match way out of your league
01:19:38You should send me a car as dowries instead of asking me for dowries
01:19:41But I earn more than you and I paid the down payment of the matrimonial house
01:19:46Your parents names are on the house property certificate. And now you ask me for a car. I have no money
01:19:56Why don't you ask your family for the money if they don't give take it as a loan
01:20:01We can pay them back after we get married
01:20:04Vani, I really want to marry you. Can't you just do more for our future life? Huh?
01:20:10Chat, don't get me wrong. I'm here to ask for dowries not give out
01:20:16Bonnie you'd better take the offer
01:20:18It is you eager to marry out saying your mom is seriously ill and you need a marriage to relieve her worries
01:20:23Look at you the least eligible woman
01:20:24I pity you so that I offer to marry you if you don't buy me a car the marriage is off the table
01:20:29Right. I'm desperate to get married
01:20:31But not desperate enough to marry you. You!
01:20:35If I won't marry you, who would like to be with you?
01:20:44Hey dude, are you single? Do you mind having a wife? Get on board and go register now
01:20:48I'd like to give it a shot. Anyhow, I don't have a wife
01:20:53Do you see that? He want to marry me
01:20:56Come back
01:20:59I'm married?
01:21:02Pack your things tonight and move to my our home
01:21:07Where?
01:21:09So we are living together?
01:21:11What are you thinking about? We're married. It's natural for us to live together
01:21:16Well, I'm John. I'm here to ask for a dowry
01:21:20I don't have a dowry. I don't have a dowry. I don't have a dowry
01:21:24I don't have a dowry. I don't have a dowry
01:21:26Well

01:21:29An office worker. I'm usually busy at work. When you move in, you don't need to take care of me
01:21:34I can support you with my salary. I have to work now. See you then. I'll pick you up after work
01:21:39I see. We are working slaves. It's not easy to make a living. Just go back to work

01:21:46There are shared bikes at the gate. I can ride one
01:21:48Working slave? Hmm
01:21:49My grandma chose her to be my wife. She seems to be interesting for now
01:21:54I fainted last time. It's her saved me. After I left the hospital
01:21:58She knew I lived alone and made many calls to cheer me up. John
01:22:03She's the kindest girl I've ever met. You'll love her when you see her. Grandma, we are in a new era
01:22:09Why do you want to arrange marriage for me? What? I got her schedule yesterday
01:22:13I want you to meet her. If you think she's a good girl, you can develop your relationship after marriage
01:22:20Camille, if you don't give it a shot, you'll see my scenery casket when you get back
01:22:26Boss, we've got 1000 acre land of suburb of eastern china
