00:00:00Someone went wild last night.
00:00:29Not too bad, as far as the last night of being single goes.
00:00:32I don't get it, man. Why'd she leave without saying goodbye?
00:00:35Maybe she's on the way to the marriage registry to marry you.
00:00:38Yeah, maybe.
00:00:40So, according to your mother's will, as soon as you get married, you'll receive the share she left for you.
00:00:44So I've arranged for someone for you to have a fake marriage with.
00:00:47I trust your taste.
00:00:53Oh, look at that. The woman who agreed to your fake marriage is already on her way.
00:00:57Whoever she is, with that marriage license, the normal group officially becomes mine.
00:01:01So why didn't you go with what your grandfathers arranged for marriage?
00:01:04Man, I'd much rather be that girl from last night, but I don't know if I'm gonna ever see her again.
00:01:17It's you.
00:01:47If I had known that you were the person I was gonna marry, we could have shared a ride from the hotel.
00:01:51Well, I am short on cash these days, so...
00:01:54Same. I had to borrow the suit.
00:01:57It's a good suit.
00:01:59This is all that I have today. Thank you for coming, and you'll get the rest when we divorce in one year.
00:02:11I guess I deserve an Oscar for my performance today.
00:02:15With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:24Inform the whole company. A new era starts today.
00:02:28Sure thing.
00:02:30You murderers, better watch your backs. I'm coming for you.
00:02:36I'm gonna avenge you.
00:02:43With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:48I guess it's time to show them who's boss.
00:02:51Yes, boss.
00:03:08What? New presents here?
00:03:24Now?
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:48Renee! Looks like my stepsister decided to crawl back out of hell.
00:03:52Unfortunately for you, I'm here to kick you two out of my mother's company.
00:03:55Your mother's?
00:03:56You know her name means nothing. Now it belongs to my mom.
00:04:00Speaking of her, great job selling off all the company's shares. I'm sure the new president will reward you for that.
00:04:05How did... how did you...
00:04:08That's ridiculous.
00:04:09I think we should settle this in front of everyone.
00:04:14Here they come.
00:04:18As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:32As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:38Miss Mara Brown!
00:04:40Who, me?
00:04:41No doubt. Mrs. Brown was the plan B to take over.
00:04:45Are you sure she's the new president of the company?
00:04:48Who else would it be? Your mother from six feet under?
00:04:55Well then you must have the invitation from Norman.
00:04:58What invitation?
00:04:59For the party tonight. They've invited all their business partners, including Laura Group.
00:05:07Of course I do.
00:05:08Great. Then I will see you there.
00:05:13Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:05:38Excuse me? How dare you? I'm the president of the Laura Group.
00:05:42I'm sorry, ma'am. I can only accept invitations.
00:05:49Oh, looks like I forgot it at home. Can I speak with your manager?
00:05:54Just admit it, Mara. You're not the president. You don't have an invitation.
00:05:57Where's your invitation then?
00:06:04Damon, help!
00:06:07This skank is trying to bully me because I didn't have an invitation.
00:06:12Don't worry, honeypuff. As the host of this party, I can guarantee no one's going to mess with you.
00:06:19The whole Norman family doesn't welcome someone like you.
00:06:22The host? So that means you're the heir to the Norman family?
00:06:27Yes, I have a lot going on lately.
00:06:33What the fuck are you doing? Get her out of here.
00:06:35Mr. Norman, is that any way to treat a guest?
00:06:41How did you... No, that has to be a fake!
00:06:51May I?
00:06:53Damon, stop her!
00:07:02Really?
00:07:03May I?
00:07:09Damon! Stop her!
00:07:16Really?
00:07:24Dorothy, can you look up Damon Norman for me?
00:07:26And top the head of the charity group in here.
00:07:52Are you alright, my dear wife?
00:07:56What are you doing here?
00:07:59You're working.
00:08:02What about you?
00:08:04I'm...
00:08:07someone's escort.
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:13Of course.
00:08:15I can't just rely on my husband's tips.
00:08:18Your husband sounds like a real jerk.
00:08:20He's the worst.
00:08:22Well, I didn't know this party for dirty rats.
00:08:25Neither did I.
00:08:27Until you showed up.
00:08:31Clean that up.
00:08:37Are you really asking me?
00:08:42Are you really asking me?
00:08:44Well, of course I am.
00:08:46I'm the fiancé of the heir to the Norman family.
00:08:50How could you do that?
00:08:52Do you know how much that costs?
00:08:54Well, with the price of the champagne that's on it,
00:08:56I would say your fur just increased in value.
00:09:06I'm sorry.
00:09:08I'm sorry.
00:09:10I'm sorry.
00:09:12I'm sorry.
00:09:14I'm sorry.
00:09:16I'm sorry.
00:09:19It's my stepsister.
00:09:21Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:23No worries.
00:09:25All families have issues.
00:09:27You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:29Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:35In return,
00:09:37you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:41I couldn't afford that.
00:09:49Get the necklace from the safe.
00:09:51Someone deserves a gift.
00:09:59Here's a gift for Ms. Brown.
00:10:13Oh, that's me.
00:10:16Oh, that's me.
00:10:18Oh, it's beautiful.
00:10:20I bet Damon got this for me.
00:10:23Much better than an invitation if I do say so myself.
00:10:27Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:30Wait, this is for Ms. Renee Brown?
00:10:35I'm Renee Brown.
00:10:39May I ask who sent this?
00:10:41Sorry, I don't know.
00:10:45You bitch.
00:10:47You set this entire thing up with a fake necklace and everything just to embarrass me.
00:10:51Mara, the only person embarrassing you here is yourself.
00:10:55No one has ever given you a gift because you are an unwanted loser.
00:11:00Unwanted?
00:11:02Says who?
00:11:10Unwanted?
00:11:12Says who?
00:11:16She's with me.
00:11:18Oh, a skank and a server. How fitting.
00:11:22But you know what, sister? I did think you would go with someone more of like a washed up, in his 80s type.
00:11:27No thank you.
00:11:29But speaking of losers, you should probably go check in with your fiancé.
00:11:33My fiancé is the heir to the Norman Group.
00:11:37One word and he'll have both of you two out on your asses.
00:11:40I would like to see him try.
00:11:43Damon, come to my rescue please.
00:11:46Hey, what's going on?
00:11:48Hello, Damon.
00:11:50So you're her fiancé, the heir to the Norman Group?
00:11:54Yes, speak with some respect.
00:11:57He's full of lies.
00:11:59He's not the real heir.
00:12:07He's not the real heir.
00:12:09Are you accusing him?
00:12:11Why don't you let him speak for himself?
00:12:13Enough.
00:12:15I'll make a scene.
00:12:17Let's go.
00:12:19Let me spell it out for you two.
00:12:21He's the cousin to the heir.
00:12:23Who likes to use the family name to scam people.
00:12:27How do you know that?
00:12:29Because I'm the real heir.
00:12:31Heir's assistant.
00:12:33Right, Damon?
00:12:37And you know the cost of lying.
00:12:39Right, Damon?
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:48Just...
00:12:50Just let me go, please.
00:12:57Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me.
00:13:05Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me.
00:13:08It is not your time to speak, so I would shut it if I were you.
00:13:15Can you tell him to meet me at the ballroom?
00:13:19May I speak to the president of the Laura Group?
00:13:22That's me. What do you want?
00:13:24Such an honor to finally meet you.
00:13:26Thank you and your company for the generous donation.
00:13:29It will benefit so many children.
00:13:31Oh, yeah, don't worry about it. It's nothing.
00:13:34Would you prefer the five million as a check or a bank transfer?
00:13:38Five million.
00:13:40What?
00:13:41Your assistant asked me to meet you here.
00:13:43Or you could just sign your name on this contract.
00:13:50You framed me.
00:13:52Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:13:55Unless you're lying.
00:13:59You framed me.
00:14:01Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:14:04Unless you're lying.
00:14:10You know what? I don't feel so well.
00:14:13I don't even think I could pick up that pen.
00:14:15You'll have to find me another day.
00:14:21Mara's a fake. I'm such a fool.
00:14:24Don't be too hard on yourself.
00:14:26Well, where's the real president?
00:14:31I know.
00:14:33The real president...
00:14:37is in the office.
00:14:52Can I have a dance with you?
00:14:55Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:02Seems like everyone has trust issues tonight.
00:15:05Do you?
00:15:08Like what?
00:15:10Are you really just an assistant?
00:15:18What about you?
00:15:20Are you really an escort?
00:15:22Where's your client?
00:15:26Seems like everyone has secrets.
00:15:30Sometimes the best solution is to just ignore the problem.
00:15:34At least for tonight.
00:15:36I agree.
00:15:38But I have to admit it'll probably be difficult for me going to suppress my curiosity.
00:15:42Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy.
00:15:45How so?
00:15:52I don't know.
00:16:23How generous.
00:16:31Dude, Lord Group is dumping our shares.
00:16:33Our stock price is crashing.
00:16:35What?
00:16:53Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:55I checked every news source. I can't find anything on who the president is.
00:17:03That's impossible.
00:17:05What is it?
00:17:07Laura Brown? The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:10Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:12I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:15Phase one completed.
00:17:17Anna and her mother had heavily invested in Norman Group, so now it's time to watch their assets shrink.
00:17:22By the way, I made the donation in your mother's name.
00:17:25Thank you, Dottie.
00:17:27But I've been meaning to ask, won't doing this also affect Laura Group's assets?
00:17:32Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:17:35Don't worry. I have a plan.
00:17:38I trust you. But don't overdo it.
00:17:42I have a feeling I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group very soon.
00:17:46Mr. President, it's time to teach you a lesson.
00:17:58The informant says the president of Laura Group will be here tonight.
00:18:01I'll flush out this rat. I swear.
00:18:09Renee?
00:18:10Perritt, what are you doing here?
00:18:12I'm here to meet with the real president of the Laura Group.
00:18:16Have you seen...
00:18:20Damn, Paul.
00:18:22I forgot my wallet in the car.
00:18:24Um, why don't you order your drink? It's on me.
00:18:35Are you the one messing with the stocks?
00:18:37You're the president. Shouldn't you be asking yourself that?
00:18:40Well, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be selling off some art pieces to cover the losses.
00:18:46And yeah, that's your mom's last piece.
00:18:49The bid goes for one dollar.
00:18:57And yeah, that's your mom's last piece.
00:19:00The bid goes for one dollar.
00:19:04I hope you have your invitation for the auction.
00:19:08You crazy bitch!
00:19:12Things are different now, sister. I'm gonna get every single one of her pieces back.
00:19:16This isn't over!
00:19:22Mom, I'm gonna protect your artwork and your company. I promise.
00:19:29Hey, who's got you so down, chica?
00:19:32Leave me alone.
00:19:33No, you need my company.
00:19:38Leave her alone!
00:19:46Who the fuck?
00:19:47I'm her husband.
00:19:49I get it. Someone's unsatisfied.
00:20:02Are you alright?
00:20:05Are you alright?
00:20:07Fine. Thank you.
00:20:14You feeling confident?
00:20:15Let's see.
00:20:20Let us go. Unless you want to see some blood.
00:20:25Run.
00:20:35They're not down there.
00:20:38Alright. Let's go.
00:20:47They're gone.
00:20:48Yeah.
00:20:50Just to be safe, I think I should hold your hands a little longer.
00:20:55Is just holding my hands enough?
00:20:58No.
00:21:00Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:03Not really.
00:21:06What else do you want?
00:21:29You're mother's belongings starting at one dollar.
00:21:34They're trying to humiliate her.
00:21:36And we can't let them get away with this.
00:21:38Yeah, but Mara's definitely gonna have some tricks up her sleeve.
00:21:41Then we need a white knight.
00:21:47Norman!
00:21:50Norman!
00:21:59Are you okay? You sounded urgent on the phone.
00:22:02I need to ask you a favor.
00:22:04As long as I can make it happen.
00:22:06I need you to pretend to be the heir of Norman Group.
00:22:14You want me to impersonate the heir of Norman?
00:22:17He's an assistant. There's no one better for the job.
00:22:20I can ask him for real.
00:22:22These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy.
00:22:25And then she was kicked out of the group that she founded by Mara's mother.
00:22:28And now they're trying to cash in on her belongings.
00:22:31I need the heir to back you at the auction.
00:22:34You're my only choice.
00:22:42Since you're Laura's daughter, do you know who the new president is?
00:22:47Of course.
00:22:49Who is it?
00:22:55Me.
00:23:01Who is it?
00:23:05Me.
00:23:11I'm sorry. That was a bad joke.
00:23:15Thank goodness that you're not a stand-up comedian.
00:23:20Enough said.
00:23:22I can help you to get those things back.
00:23:41Are you being watched?
00:23:43Not yet. Do I really have to dress like a secret agent?
00:23:47Mara's met you already. She might recognize you.
00:23:50No way.
00:23:52In this outfit?
00:23:54I barely even recognize myself.
00:24:07Renee.
00:24:14Renee.
00:24:16It's been a long time.
00:24:18Oh, not long enough.
00:24:20Did you even think about saying hello when you got back?
00:24:22Well, I don't exactly fit in with the family of thieves and liars.
00:24:25Isn't that right, Miss President?
00:24:27Oh, sharp tongue just like your mother.
00:24:30I wonder how many auction items you're going to get to buy before you deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:35I wonder what the value of a useless dead body would bring to you.
00:24:39Don't worry.
00:24:41The only thing you can steal from my mother and I is this coward.
00:24:47Welcome to today's auction.
00:24:49Up first, we have a painting by Laura Brown.
00:24:52And we will start the bidding at...
00:24:55One dollar.
00:24:57Laura Brown. And we will start the bidding at...
00:25:01One dollar.
00:25:09One hundred thousand.
00:25:11One hundred and one thousand.
00:25:13Two hundred thousand.
00:25:14Two hundred and one thousand.
00:25:19Five hundred thousand.
00:25:21Sold!
00:25:26Sold!
00:25:27Congratulations, guest number eight, who is the heir of the Norman Group.
00:25:41Sold!
00:25:42Congratulations, Mr. Norman, on securing all the items thus far.
00:25:47Mom, I have to go for him.
00:25:49Oh, dear. Don't rush it. You've got to play hard to get.
00:25:52For the final item this evening, we have a set of matching rings.
00:25:57My mother's wedding rings.
00:25:59They will start at just one dollar.
00:26:03One hundred thousand.
00:26:08Do I hear another bid?
00:26:11Sold!
00:26:12Congratulations on securing yet another item.
00:26:20Before you start talking big, you might want to check your bank account.
00:26:24Yeah, you're screwed. Even Norman's heir is on our side.
00:26:28I wouldn't be so sure about that.
00:26:30Congratulations, Ms. Brown. Mr. Norman has transferred all the items in your name.
00:26:35Here's the transfer document.
00:26:40Who's screwed now?
00:26:50Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:52Yeah, why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:54Mr. Norman!
00:26:58Wait a second.
00:27:00I knew it! You're the assistant!
00:27:03Assistant? How is the assistant going to pay for all this?
00:27:07About that. According to my mother's will, these items are always mine.
00:27:12And now they're finally back where they belong.
00:27:14I see that.
00:27:16Chloe, I have to thank you for holding this auction.
00:27:20Otherwise, I never would have known where you'd hidden them.
00:27:23That orphanage has taught you quite a bit, hasn't it?
00:27:33All the items today will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:47I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly if it wasn't for you.
00:27:50I was just doing my job, as your husband.
00:27:56I have something for you.
00:28:00Even though this is a marriage of convenience, we should still have rings.
00:28:05Are you sure? It was your mom's.
00:28:08More than ever.
00:28:11Renee Brown.
00:28:15Will you marry me?
00:28:21You're too late.
00:28:23I'm already taken.
00:28:28By you.
00:28:40By you.
00:29:11I love you.
00:29:37Hello?
00:29:38Up, Renee. Norman Group is fighting back.
00:29:41They're buying up our stock in large quantities.
00:29:43What?
00:29:46Are you sure about that?
00:29:48I'm done lying to her.
00:29:49I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group.
00:30:00Something urgent?
00:30:01Yeah, it's... I'll explain later.
00:30:09Maybe next time.
00:30:17I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa.
00:30:20I didn't know I needed permission to come to my old office.
00:30:24How's Florida?
00:30:25Not bad.
00:30:27Until I found out that you're married to somebody I don't even know...
00:30:32Yep.
00:30:33My ship has sailed.
00:30:35Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:39Is that so?
00:30:40I've already called Fiona back from Europe.
00:30:43Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:46I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:48Not even you can interfere with my life anymore.
00:30:55You don't know what I'm capable of, young man.
00:31:04It's a good thing we reacted quickly.
00:31:06Damage wasn't too severe.
00:31:08How come we're meeting here and not at your house?
00:31:12Barrett's there.
00:31:13Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:15No, not yet.
00:31:17Still haven't told him.
00:31:23Hello?
00:31:24Are you available tonight?
00:31:26I have something to tell you.
00:31:36What happened?
00:31:37Nothing. Just some family issues.
00:31:39Well, I'm an expert in that.
00:31:44If you are having family issues, you could always come stay at my place.
00:31:50Are you asking me to move in with you?
00:31:52Will you?
00:31:55Barry!
00:31:57I missed you so much.
00:31:59Fiona!
00:32:07It's been so long. You still like black coffee?
00:32:10No, thank you.
00:32:12I admire your devotion.
00:32:15And who is she?
00:32:17This is Renee. She's my...
00:32:18His blind date.
00:32:20Really?
00:32:21Yeah.
00:32:23But I have to think twice about whether to continue.
00:32:26Well, I guess I've been gone for too long.
00:32:29But I came back to marry Barrett.
00:32:32Isn't that right?
00:32:34Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:36I know.
00:32:38But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me.
00:32:42Is that so?
00:32:44Good to know.
00:32:47Excuse me for a moment.
00:32:48You two can wrap it up.
00:32:52Renee, let me explain first.
00:32:54Explain what?
00:32:56You have a gravely ill grandfather.
00:32:57You have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment.
00:33:01That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:33:04Wait! It's not true.
00:33:14Oh, what's going on?
00:33:15You two had a fight?
00:33:16None of your business.
00:33:18Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet.
00:33:21Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:25Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:27Sweet dreams, both of you.
00:33:31Enough! I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:36So she's your quickie wife?
00:33:38Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:41She's not a quickie.
00:33:43She's the love of my life.
00:34:10You invited me.
00:34:12No taking backsies.
00:34:31Alright.
00:34:36I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:38No chance.
00:34:45The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal.
00:34:50I know.
00:34:52And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:55Do you promise?
00:34:57I promise.
00:35:01No one kisses their brother.
00:35:16I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:19No, man. I moved in with Renee.
00:35:22Oh, yeah. Totally normal thing to do.
00:35:25For a married couple.
00:35:27Okay, look. I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose.
00:35:31What do you think about me purchasing the Laura group as a gift for her?
00:35:35You think she'll like it?
00:35:37Oh, my God. I hate rich people.
00:35:40Come on, man. I mean it.
00:35:42Look, it was founded by her mom, right?
00:35:44I know that we still don't know who the president is,
00:35:47but the company deserves to be back in the hands of its rightful owner.
00:35:50Alright.
00:35:52Romeo.
00:35:54The front desk handed this to me.
00:35:56Said it was from someone anonymous.
00:36:01Wait a second.
00:36:03Isn't this the room that me and Renee first met?
00:36:06Don't tell me she's planning on proposing officially as well.
00:36:10We'll see.
00:36:24Renee?
00:36:26Oh, hi.
00:36:34Hi.
00:36:48I just keep loving you more.
00:36:51Me too.
00:36:53What the hell?
00:36:55I can take you there.
00:36:57Don't worry.
00:36:59What happens here stays here.
00:37:02No. You're psychotic.
00:37:04Does she know who you really are?
00:37:07You two are from completely different worlds.
00:37:10There's no future for you and her.
00:37:12Thanks for your input.
00:37:14If you leave, you're gonna regret it.
00:37:16If I stay, I'll regret it.
00:37:18Don't think about pulling any more tricks.
00:37:20I can pull all of your company's investments in a second.
00:37:25Hey!
00:37:46You have something for me?
00:37:48I'm sorry.
00:37:50But you deserve to know.
00:37:52I know you're married to him.
00:37:55And I said no at first.
00:37:57But as you know, his passion is unstoppable.
00:38:02Don't be sad over a man who doesn't love you.
00:38:08Is that it?
00:38:10What do you mean?
00:38:12Are you okay with your husband cheating on you?
00:38:15Why not?
00:38:17I already told Renee everything.
00:38:19Your plan failed.
00:38:27Better luck next time.
00:38:30No, stop.
00:38:32That won't work on me.
00:38:34You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:36Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:38And don't ever come back.
00:38:41Renee.
00:38:43Do you really trust your husband?
00:38:45Tell father.
00:38:46I know he has his secrets.
00:38:49And I've got mine.
00:38:51We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:54Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:39:17Finally.
00:39:21What's got you so happy?
00:39:25You don't have to wait for tonight.
00:39:27You can't tell me no.
00:39:29We've got to keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship.
00:39:32Okay, drama queen.
00:39:37Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:40I know.
00:39:42I know.
00:39:43Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:46I need you at the office now.
00:39:50Norman.
00:39:58Norman.
00:40:03What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:05Something urgent just came up. I gotta go.
00:40:07Okay.
00:40:09Don't forget to be back by seven.
00:40:11I've got something important planned.
00:40:14What's going on?
00:40:16How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:18Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out.
00:40:21Plus the other shares that Norman bought at high prices.
00:40:25Norman Group now owns 50% of the company.
00:40:28Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:31The company is now expecting their president out there.
00:40:34Are you sure about this?
00:40:37What are you doing here?
00:40:44I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:46I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:49Even if you are the president,
00:40:51I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group.
00:40:54What a shame.
00:40:56The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company.
00:40:59I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat.
00:41:02Security!
00:41:04Kick her out.
00:41:06I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:08Don't let her get away with this.
00:41:09Kick her out.
00:41:11I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:13Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:15No, until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting,
00:41:17I still have control of this company.
00:41:19Let me go!
00:41:21Are you really going to let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:23It still belongs to our family.
00:41:25Family?
00:41:27How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:29Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette.
00:41:33I think you need a lesson.
00:41:36Don't you dare!
00:41:37What?
00:41:44Don't you dare!
00:41:46What?
00:41:50This is my final warning.
00:41:53This is a Brown family matter.
00:41:55You need not get involved.
00:41:57Funny, I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household.
00:42:00Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:42:03Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman.
00:42:05To appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group.
00:42:10Are you serious?
00:42:12You heard me right.
00:42:14Now I assume you would like to clear out these three?
00:42:16I am so sorry, but since you've traded away all of your shares,
00:42:19you no longer have any stake in the Laura Group.
00:42:23Please leave.
00:42:25Let's go, ladies, let's go.
00:42:33Let me get this straight.
00:42:35Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laura Group,
00:42:38wants me to be president?
00:42:40Indeed.
00:42:42Well, I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:44I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:46Except...
00:42:54I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:57Except...
00:43:00Well, I was going to tell you tonight.
00:43:02Actually, I...
00:43:03Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:05Huh?
00:43:07My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:09How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:11Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:13Opposing him? What do you mean?
00:43:15I should have told you sooner.
00:43:19I've been president of Laura Group all along.
00:43:22Wait, so you're the reason for the stock drop?
00:43:26Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence.
00:43:32It must have taken you a lot to make this happen.
00:43:34You have to let me meet Mr. Norman.
00:43:37Um, sure.
00:43:39Sure.
00:43:41What are you waiting for?
00:43:55Dude.
00:43:57Why didn't you come clean back there?
00:43:59It's too much for her to process today.
00:44:01I'll take it to her another day.
00:44:03What are you hesitating for, man?
00:44:05Isn't it a good thing for the husband to be loaded eye candy?
00:44:09Renee isn't shallow like that.
00:44:11If she finds out that she lost to me in this business arrangement,
00:44:15she's not going to be happy.
00:44:17Well, you played the game and you won.
00:44:19She needs to accept that.
00:44:21She can lose, okay?
00:44:23But not to me in disguise.
00:44:25It's different.
00:44:27I guess marriage is hard.
00:44:29Can't wait to see your wedding day.
00:44:35The thing I fear most is deceit and betrayal.
00:44:47Congrats, Renee.
00:44:49I always knew you were something special.
00:44:51Really? Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:55Well, everyone makes mistakes.
00:44:57But that won't happen again now that you're in charge.
00:45:00Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous.
00:45:03Only someone like you could pull it off.
00:45:05What, this?
00:45:07No, this is a knockoff.
00:45:09Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off and I wear it for fun.
00:45:12No way.
00:45:14I've never made mistakes in luxury.
00:45:16There's no chance that's a knockoff.
00:45:18Alright, I'm not going to hold you accountable for the past.
00:45:20You can stop with the flattery.
00:45:22For short, stop sucking up.
00:45:24Don't you have work to be doing?
00:45:25Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
00:45:27But seriously, that necklace is real.
00:45:30No flattery, just facts.
00:45:37That necklace is real.
00:45:40No flattery, just facts.
00:45:45What if curls are right?
00:45:47How much would that cost?
00:45:49No, even though he works for Norman Group,
00:45:51something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:55You must.
00:45:57Because I'm the real heir.
00:45:59Assistant.
00:46:01I came back to marry Barrett.
00:46:03I was going to tell you tonight.
00:46:05Actually, um...
00:46:07No, Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:12Hold on.
00:46:15The necklace is real.
00:46:17Look, your Barrett is Barrett Norman,
00:46:21the heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:26Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:30What?
00:46:32Who did this?
00:46:39Get the PR team in here.
00:46:41I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:46Uh, you have a visitor.
00:46:48Not now!
00:46:50So the article was true.
00:46:53Let me explain.
00:46:55I was going to tell you earlier,
00:46:57but then I found out that you were the...
00:46:59Well, I found out that I was the president
00:47:01of the company you acquired.
00:47:03Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:05Not true.
00:47:07Then what is the truth?
00:47:09And were you afraid to hurt my pride?
00:47:11Or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:13You don't get it, Renee.
00:47:15I acquired the Lord Group for you as a gift.
00:47:17I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:19Don't talk about my mother!
00:47:21I don't get it.
00:47:23You were so excited about this before you knew who I was,
00:47:25so why not now?
00:47:27Because I don't need your mercy.
00:47:29I had a plan.
00:47:31I was capable of doing it myself.
00:47:33I was your husband.
00:47:35I wanted to help you to carry the burden.
00:47:37Is that so wrong?
00:47:39No.
00:47:41Not anymore.
00:47:43What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:46Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:47We're getting a divorce.
00:47:49Renee.
00:47:56Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:47:58Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:48:00What is there to talk about?
00:48:02We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:04Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:06Both executives.
00:48:08Both enjoy identity games.
00:48:10I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:12I am.
00:48:14I feel like you're being a little too impulsive.
00:48:15If Barrett had known you as the president,
00:48:17maybe he wouldn't have acted like this.
00:48:19Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way.
00:48:21Maybe that's my issue.
00:48:24The Browns think money can solve anything,
00:48:26including love and dignity.
00:48:30I don't know if Barrett's like that too.
00:48:33You do.
00:48:35You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:46Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:57Renee.
00:48:59What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:15Oh.
00:49:21Hey.
00:49:23You're back.
00:49:25I'm sorry.
00:49:27I did it out of love for you.
00:49:29Please forgive me.
00:49:31It's okay.
00:49:33I have my faults too.
00:49:35So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:37Why should I?
00:49:39I'm not dreaming, am I?
00:49:43No.
00:49:45It's real.
00:49:49Let's get you to bed.
00:49:58Relax.
00:50:00Come here, Renee.
00:50:16I'm sorry.
00:50:29Fiona!
00:50:31What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:37What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:40Don't you remember?
00:50:42It was you who suggested we get together last night.
00:50:44What?
00:50:46No way. Last night it was...
00:50:48It was Renee.
00:50:50It was you.
00:50:52Don't get close to me.
00:50:56And keep your mouth shut.
00:50:58If you don't, I won't let you live it down.
00:51:15Where are the photos?
00:51:20You seem... not mad.
00:51:23He made his decision.
00:51:25Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:27You seem well informed.
00:51:29Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company,
00:51:33and it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you.
00:51:38Well...
00:51:40I guess I'll have to go.
00:51:41Well...
00:51:44I admire your sanity.
00:51:47Have a drink with me, and I'll give you all the photos.
00:51:51And I'll leave Barrett alone.
00:52:06Did you drug me?
00:52:09Yes.
00:52:11I did.
00:52:13And by the way,
00:52:15I was the one who wrote the article revealing Barrett's identity.
00:52:31Renee?
00:52:32Renee?
00:52:40Remember to sign these papers.
00:52:42The company rightfully belongs to you.
00:52:45That was my promise.
00:52:48Maybe my last one.
00:53:03I love you.
00:53:09Mr. Norman?
00:53:11What are you doing here? Where's Renee?
00:53:13I need your help. Renee's missing.
00:53:15Missing?
00:53:16Renee?
00:53:32Do we really have to?
00:53:34She's still my daughter.
00:53:36Zip it.
00:53:38You want the money or not.
00:53:40Dad, as long as she's willing to sign, we'll let her go.
00:53:47You must be starving.
00:53:50You know I'm allergic to nuts, right?
00:53:57Look, Renee.
00:53:59Just sign the documents.
00:54:01Sign your shares over to Chloe, and I guarantee she'll let you go.
00:54:06Let me go?
00:54:08Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:10Just kill me.
00:54:12If you dare.
00:54:16I'll kill you.
00:54:26My detectives are still searching, but her last location update was 12 hours ago.
00:54:31Alright, keep me in the loop.
00:54:40What are you doing here?
00:54:42Barry, why do you look so stressed?
00:54:44How did you get in?
00:54:46I just walked in.
00:54:48As your fiance.
00:54:50Get out.
00:54:52You're the last person I want to see right now.
00:54:56Kick me out, and you'll never see her again.
00:55:03Where is she?
00:55:05She's alive.
00:55:07For now.
00:55:09But only if you agree to one condition.
00:55:12What do you want?
00:55:15Marry me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26Marry me.
00:55:29You're sick.
00:55:31You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:55:36It was never you that I wanted.
00:55:39What do you mean?
00:55:40Well, ever since I was born, everyone swore to me that I was going to be the future Mrs. Norman.
00:55:46So this is all just about power.
00:55:48Exactly.
00:55:50Blame it on being the head of the Norman Company.
00:55:52You were always destined to be my husband.
00:55:59Take your time to think about it.
00:56:02But not too long.
00:56:04She's got a lot of enemies.
00:56:11Enemies?
00:56:15Paul, find Damon for me. Right now.
00:56:25Go after him!
00:56:30Just give me three days, and I'll get your money back. I promise.
00:56:35Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:37I wouldn't know. She broke up with me a long time ago.
00:56:41Paul!
00:56:43Do you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:45Okay. Okay. But I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
00:56:49How much do you know?
00:56:51Maura asked me to help her. I didn't. I didn't.
00:56:54Wait. Then how could you know where she is?
00:56:56I have Maura's GPS. This is her location.
00:57:11We can't tip them off until we make our move.
00:57:19I agree to get engaged with you.
00:57:23Paul, you need a new suit.
00:57:41Didn't Miss Norman just get married?
00:57:44Why is he getting engaged again?
00:57:46It's a business marriage. It's pretty common.
00:57:51If you're going to act, do it right.
00:57:54I'm not as fake as you. I can't pull it off.
00:57:59Make me happy, and that woman might stay alive.
00:58:11Excuse me, Your Majesty. I have a very important phone call to make. I'll be back.
00:58:26I need her dead. Now.
00:58:41I have a very important phone call to make. I'll be back.
00:58:49Here's the keys to your rental. It'll keep them from spotting you.
00:58:53Thanks, man. I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:56You gotta hurry. Okay? I don't want to be here for too long.
00:59:00Go.
00:59:02Okay. Go. Hurry.
00:59:04Hurry.
00:59:10Go kill her. Fiona will hand the company over to us.
00:59:13Do it fast, Dad. We'll meet you outside.
00:59:20I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:32I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:35Sorry? Did you ever feel sorry for my mother?
00:59:39It wasn't my fault. I had no choice.
00:59:42But you did. And you chose to sacrifice her.
00:59:46Just do it. I'm ready.
00:59:48I'm ready.
01:00:03Renee. Oh, my God. Are you all right?
01:00:08Let's get you out of here.
01:00:10Not so fast.
01:00:13Toodle-oo, lovebirds.
01:00:19What took you so long?
01:00:28Where's Barrett?
01:00:32I'm here.
01:00:48Not so fast.
01:00:51Toodle-oo, lovebirds.
01:01:00Game over.
01:01:08You're alive?
01:01:10You seem surprised.
01:01:14What happened to you?
01:01:16Why don't you ask Fiona?
01:01:17I didn't do anything. This was a setup.
01:01:19Maybe you should ask them instead.
01:01:30Uncle Ben, help me.
01:01:33Weren't you always on my side?
01:01:36Well, I'm no longer your head of the family.
01:01:40Do whatever you need to do.
01:01:43Hey, let go of me.
01:01:48This isn't over.
01:01:57Till death do us part.
01:01:59Till death do us part.
01:02:18Look.
01:02:20Our stock just hit an all-time high.
01:02:22Nice. Double that and it might be worth half our price.
01:02:26Give me a year and I'll definitely surpass you.
01:02:30Sure thing.
01:02:36Miss Brown, about the divorce application you submitted a few months ago...
01:02:40We won't need it.
01:02:44What did you say, Miss Brown?
01:02:45Shall we do this thing?
