00:00:00Boss, you can't just keep running away.
00:00:10Your mom insists you meet Ms. Baumann.
00:00:12Max, love is not some business deal.
00:00:15You cannot just sign a contract calling marriage.
00:00:34Good.
00:00:37It's done.
00:00:38Your brother is gone.
00:00:42Good.
00:00:43I'm the only one left.
00:00:45The Hopewell Empire is mine now.
00:00:51Leon, I have a question.
00:00:53But you gotta be honest with me.
00:00:54Who is that girl that my mom chose for Vincent to marry?
00:00:58Mrs. Baumann.
00:01:00Jennifer Baumann.
00:01:01Jennifer Baumann.
00:01:04So since Vincent's gone, I will marry her.
00:01:08Wait, you want to marry her?
00:01:11Look, man.
00:01:12A marriage will lock everything down.
00:01:15His company, his fortune, everything will belong to me now.
00:01:21Understood, boss.
00:01:23Let me handle it.
00:01:29Now everything that belonged to him is gonna be mine.
00:01:40Come on, Jenny.
00:01:47Ken Hopewell is a really rich man.
00:01:49If you marry him, you won't have to work in that cheap salon anymore.
00:01:53I love my job, mom.
00:01:55I'm proud of being a hairdresser, okay?
00:01:58Come on, be realistic, Jenny.
00:02:00Do you know how hard I've worked?
00:02:04Do you know how hard I've worked to set this up for you to marry into a rich family?
00:02:10First you want me to marry Vincent, and he's dead.
00:02:14And now you're pushing me to marry his creep brother?
00:02:17I'm not some pawn in your little game, okay?
00:02:19I would prefer to marry a nice homeless than those jerk riches.
00:02:31Give me the money!
00:02:35Give me the...
00:02:36Fuck you.
00:02:37Go away from me.
00:02:41I remember you.
00:02:42You are the hero who thinks you can save this girl.
00:02:46You should mind your own fucking business.
00:02:53Anyway, you don't suit her.
00:02:55You are smelly and dirty.
00:03:11Losing Vincent was a tragedy.
00:03:14But the company needs a leadership.
00:03:18And I'm asking you, Max, to appoint me as the new CEO.
00:03:23That's not happening, Ken.
00:03:25Vincent is still alive.
00:03:27How come he's still alive?
00:03:28He died in a car explosion.
00:03:30He wore a necklace with a biosensor.
00:03:32Every time it's damaged, it sends a distress signal.
00:03:35That time it wasn't triggered.
00:03:37So that means he is alive.
00:03:46His eyes, they are so beautiful.
00:03:49Are you okay?
00:03:50Yeah.
00:03:51Thank you for saving me.
00:03:53What's your name?
00:03:54I don't know.
00:03:55I can't remember anything.
00:03:58Okay, never mind.
00:03:59Let's go.
00:04:08What the hell, Jenny?
00:04:10Why have you brought a bum home?
00:04:12He saved my life, mom, okay?
00:04:14Calm down.
00:04:17He reeks.
00:04:20I'll give him a bath.
00:04:22He's not using a bathtub.
00:04:24He better be gone before dark.
00:04:30Since I don't remember your name,
00:04:33maybe I could call you Johnny.
00:04:36Johnny?
00:04:38I like it.
00:04:40Alright, Johnny.
00:04:45Hold.
00:04:46Still.
00:04:47Johnny.
00:04:48It's okay.
00:04:49I promise.
00:04:51Close your eyes.
00:04:53Yes.
00:04:54It's almost there, okay?
00:04:59Done?
00:05:02Wow, you're so handsome.
00:05:04So freaking hot.
00:05:12Mom!
00:05:13Our guest cooked a dinner for us.
00:05:15That bub is still here
00:05:17and you let him use my kitchen?
00:05:19Dinner's ready.
00:05:23He looks completely different.
00:05:25I know.
00:05:26Doesn't he look amusing?
00:05:29Wait a minute.
00:05:30Is he wearing your father's clothes?
00:05:33That has been good for so many years.
00:05:35Let him wear it.
00:05:36Let's eat first, okay?
00:05:43Pretentious.
00:05:57It's delicious.
00:06:01Not bad.
00:06:04Jenny.
00:06:06Look at this.
00:06:08Mrs Wilson gave me a discount.
00:06:10It's a Hope World designer watch.
00:06:13Wow, it's so beautiful.
00:06:15It's fake.
00:06:22How dare you say that?
00:06:24Mrs Wilson's been my friend for years.
00:06:26She'll never sell me a fake watch.
00:06:28Every real Hope World watch has an H in the centre.
00:06:31This one doesn't have it.
00:06:33What would you know about Hope World watches?
00:06:35You're just a bum.
00:06:37Can I check?
00:06:41Wait.
00:06:44He's right.
00:06:46It's fake.
00:06:47Mom, your watch is fake.
00:06:54I'll talk to Mrs Wilson.
00:06:56And you, after dinner, get out of my house.
00:07:05You're not going anywhere, okay?
00:07:07Have a nice day.
00:07:09You may walk.
00:07:21Jenny, thanks for letting us stay.
00:07:23Thanks for letting us stay.
00:07:26It's okay.
00:07:28You saved my life, remember?
00:07:32It's not so cold.
00:07:34You can come here, we can share the bed.
00:07:39I'm fine.
00:07:42Actually, I'm cold.
00:07:44Can you come here?
00:07:53Join me.
00:08:23A few hours later...
00:08:53A few hours later...
00:09:24A few hours later...
00:09:26A few hours later...
00:09:52Waking up next to you feels so good.
00:09:55I'm Jenny.
00:09:57This past month has been the best month of my life.
00:10:10Mom!
00:10:12How many times do I have to tell you to knock the door?
00:10:15Get dressed.
00:10:16We have a situation.
00:10:25I've just come off the phone with Mr Ken.
00:10:28If you marry him, he'll transfer $2 million worth of Hopewell stock to us.
00:10:34Wait, are you really trying to sell me for money?
00:10:38It's $2 million!
00:10:40We'll be set for life!
00:10:43Can you help me?
00:10:45Why does this man sound familiar?
00:10:47Mom, I'm with Johnny now.
00:10:49I will not get married with that jerk just because of your selfish deal.
00:10:54A few hours later...
00:10:59Let's go.
00:11:10Johnny?
00:11:12Do you want to marry me?
00:11:14A few hours later...
00:11:20Me?
00:11:21Yes.
00:11:22Marry you?
00:11:23But I'm just a homeless guy.
00:11:24I don't care, Johnny.
00:11:26You are sweet and kind.
00:11:28Way better than this jerk, Ken.
00:11:31Johnny, I swear.
00:11:33If you marry me, you'll never need to live in the streets again.
00:11:37And I will care for you.
00:11:41Johnny!
00:11:44I don't want to offend you!
00:11:51Jenny?
00:11:54Will you marry me?
00:11:56Of course I will.
00:11:59When I get rich, I will buy you the biggest rock and the most amazing house.
00:12:04And if I get rich first, I will do the same.
00:12:14A few hours later...
00:12:19Jenny!
00:12:20This is Mr. Hopewell's associate, Leon.
00:12:22He's come to see you.
00:12:24Wait.
00:12:25You? You're still alive?
00:12:27You know him, Johnny?
00:12:28No.
00:12:29He's just a bum, Jenny.
00:12:30How would he know Mr. Leon?
00:12:32Vincent is dead.
00:12:34There is no way that's him.
00:12:36Go and tell your boss that I'm not getting married.
00:12:40I'm marrying Johnny.
00:12:41You're going to marry this bum?
00:12:43Are you crazy?
00:12:48Here's a million dollars.
00:12:51Take it.
00:12:53Leave her.
00:12:54Walk away.
00:13:05I'm sorry, Jenny.
00:13:06Finally! A sensible choice.
00:13:10Forget the money.
00:13:11All that cares is about Jenny.
00:13:17So we are living in the streets again?
00:13:19Let's go. We are leaving here.
00:13:20We are out of this.
00:13:33I think the drive is lost.
00:13:36Okay, I'll try to get him, okay?
00:13:38You stay here.
00:13:39Sorry.
00:13:42Hey, you fucking loser.
00:13:44How dare you punch me?
00:13:50Don't even think about running.
00:13:53You're coming with me.
00:13:56You fucking ass.
00:13:58Walk.
00:14:14Walk.
00:14:20Walk.
00:14:23You're a freaking nobody.
00:14:25And nobody would give a shit if you disappear.
00:14:32You got lucky.
00:14:35If you want your girl to stay safe, you stay the fuck away from her.
00:14:39Understood?
00:14:43I can never see Jenny again.
00:14:50It's been a month.
00:14:53Still nothing.
00:14:55He probably didn't want to drag you down with him.
00:15:00You know, you wouldn't have had a future with him.
00:15:04Jenny, I've got something important to tell you.
00:15:08I've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
00:15:12What? Cancer?
00:15:15Why you never told me that?
00:15:16I didn't want to worry you.
00:15:19It's still in the early stages, but...
00:15:22The treatment...
00:15:24It's going to cost a lot of money.
00:15:28It's okay.
00:15:30I'm an American helper.
00:15:33Good girl.
00:15:37I'm sorry you have to do this.
00:15:39It's okay.
00:15:41I'm sorry I had to lie to you.
00:15:44But it's for your own good.
00:16:05Hey, wake up.
00:16:09I remember you.
00:16:10You are the hero who thought you could save the girl.
00:16:14Next time, you should mind your own fucking business.
00:16:23Hey, what the hell?
00:16:27Never mind.
00:16:28I will sell you.
00:16:30The distress signal.
00:16:32I've got your location.
00:16:34I'm on my way, boss.
00:16:44Boss!
00:16:46Are you okay?
00:16:48Max?
00:16:49Yeah, it's me.
00:16:51What's wrong with you?
00:16:53I don't know.
00:16:55I don't know what's wrong with me.
00:16:57Max?
00:16:58Yeah, it's me.
00:16:59I was looking for you everywhere.
00:17:01Why didn't you reach out to me?
00:17:03I forgot my memory after the explosion.
00:17:05But it's coming back.
00:17:08Jenny!
00:17:09I need to find her.
00:17:10Who's Jenny?
00:17:11Jennifer Bowell.
00:17:12The girl I was supposed to marry.
00:17:15It all makes sense.
00:17:17Hold on, let me get you cleaned up first.
00:17:21No.
00:17:22It's perfect.
00:17:23You look like a beggar.
00:17:25Exactly.
00:17:26I need you to do something for me.
00:17:42So you were gonna leave me for a beggar, huh?
00:17:46But don't worry, babe.
00:17:47I will pay for your mother's treatment once we get married.
00:17:52And today, you're mine.
00:17:54I don't know.
00:17:56If any of you have reason to object to this union, speak now.
00:18:02I object!
00:18:04Johnny!
00:18:05What the fuck?
00:18:06Do not take her from me.
00:18:11You know who I am, Mr. Hopewell?
00:18:13Yeah, I know well who you are.
00:18:15You're that bum she ran off with Johnny, right?
00:18:17That's right.
00:18:19I knew, I thought you took care of him.
00:18:21Boss, I did.
00:18:23This disguise is perfect.
00:18:25Even my brother doesn't recognize me.
00:18:29Come on, let's go.
00:18:31My mom.
00:18:33She needs a treatment.
00:18:35She has a cancer.
00:18:37What cancer?
00:18:38Yeah, that's true.
00:18:40Her mom's treatment depends on my money.
00:18:44I will take care of her mom's treatment.
00:18:46Don't worry.
00:18:48You?
00:18:49With what money?
00:18:51Tell me.
00:18:52With what money?
00:18:53You're just a bum.
00:18:54I'm not just a bum.
00:18:57Jenny.
00:18:58Now I remember who I really am.
00:19:01Who you are?
00:19:02My name is...
00:19:06Wait.
00:19:07I can tell her the truth now.
00:19:09It won't put her in danger.
00:19:11Believe it or not, Jenny.
00:19:13My real name is John.
00:19:14Johnny Smith.
00:19:16Johnny.
00:19:17You two are disgusting.
00:19:20Mr. Hopewell.
00:19:21Did you promise to Jenny to give two million dollars of Hopewell stocks?
00:19:25Is that a bluff?
00:19:26You actually don't have any.
00:19:28I'm the sole heir to the Hopewell empire.
00:19:31Of course I have.
00:19:33Then prove it.
00:19:34Leon, transfer the shares.
00:19:37Boss, it's not working.
00:19:41The transaction is getting rejected.
00:19:43What?
00:19:45That's impossible.
00:19:47Are you really the sole heir?
00:19:49Or you're just a fraud?
00:19:51That's impossible.
00:19:52Check again.
00:19:54Boss, impossible.
00:19:56What?
00:19:57What is impossible?
00:19:58Your share.
00:19:59They're all being bought.
00:20:00Every single one.
00:20:01By Vincent.
00:20:03My...
00:20:04My brother?
00:20:05That's impossible.
00:20:06He died in a car explosion.
00:20:08What if I told I'll work for him?
00:20:10He'll give me access to his funds
00:20:12and I'll use it to buy all your shares.
00:20:14You're lying.
00:20:16You're lying.
00:20:18You're lying.
00:20:19You're lying.
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:22Let's make it simple.
00:20:23Jenny,
00:20:24check your bank account.
00:20:29Oh my god.
00:20:30I have a transfer from
00:20:31Vincent Hopewell.
00:20:34Two billion dollars.
00:20:35Johnny,
00:20:37are you really working with me?
00:20:39So tell me.
00:20:40Let's say you're honest
00:20:42and you're working with me.
00:20:44Where the hell is my brother?
00:20:50So,
00:20:51let's say you're honest
00:20:54and you're working for my brother.
00:20:56So where the hell is he?
00:20:58That explosion was an accident.
00:21:00Someone tried to kill him.
00:21:02It's not safe for Vincent
00:21:03to show his face yet.
00:21:05So,
00:21:06okay, wait.
00:21:08If you tell me where is he,
00:21:09I could've protect him.
00:21:10He's my brother.
00:21:12Protect him?
00:21:14You're the jealous brother
00:21:15who want to take his place
00:21:16in the company.
00:21:17You're the jealous brother
00:21:18who want to take his place
00:21:19as CEO.
00:21:21Why the hell Vincent
00:21:22would trust you?
00:21:24How dare you?
00:21:25I will sue you
00:21:26for a defamation.
00:21:27Vincent also told me
00:21:29to keep you away from his plans.
00:21:31By the way,
00:21:32he bought this avenue
00:21:33and you're not allowed
00:21:34to set a foot in here.

00:22:14If my brother find out

00:24:06This is your Langlois place?
00:24:10It's enormous.
00:24:11This?
00:24:12Not even close
00:24:13to the biggest one.
00:24:16Wow!
00:24:19How many matches do you have?
00:24:22I can't remember.
00:24:24But the important thing
00:24:25is this one is safe.

00:24:34You're right.
00:24:36Johnny!
00:24:38What happened?
00:24:39I don't know.
00:24:40He just pissed it off.
00:24:42What?
00:24:43I don't know.
00:24:44He just pissed it off.
00:24:45Johnny!
00:24:46I'll call a doctor.
00:24:48Johnny!
00:25:00What did the doctor say
00:25:01about Johnny?
00:25:02I mean,
00:25:03Vincent?
00:25:05He's still weak.
00:25:06The explosion caused
00:25:07some serious trauma
00:25:08to his brain.
00:25:11Oh my God!
00:25:12Is he gonna be okay?
00:25:14With hopeful medical resources,
00:25:15yeah, absolutely.
00:25:16He'll be fine.
00:25:18But he just needs some rest.
00:25:22Okay, baby.
00:25:24I'll make sure of it.
00:25:39Johnny?
00:25:42Johnny?
00:25:47Oh!
00:25:48You're awake.
00:25:50I didn't want to wake you up.
00:25:52I thought to make you some breakfast.
00:25:54Oh, you're so sweet.
00:25:56But you should be resting, baby.
00:25:58My rest is cooking for you.
00:26:00Try it.
00:26:01Okay.
00:26:04It's amazing.
00:26:06You know what?
00:26:08Maybe you could teach me
00:26:09how to cook.
00:26:11What do you want to make?
00:26:13Pie?
00:26:15Or maybe it's too cliché.
00:26:17No cliché.
00:26:18Let's make a pie.
00:26:19Okay.
00:26:20Let's make them.
00:26:31Oh my God!
00:26:32It's not as easy as it looks, huh?
00:26:34Don't tease me, Captain.
00:26:36I'm trying.
00:26:37You need some more flour.
00:26:38Some more flour?
00:26:39Yes.
00:26:42The dough should be firm
00:26:44but smooth.
00:26:45Not sticky.
00:26:53The secret is patience.
00:26:54Let me show you.
00:26:57Even pressure.
00:27:01Johnny.
00:27:08Johnny.
00:27:39It's so good.
00:27:55Voila!
00:27:57Your first pie.
00:27:58What do you think?
00:27:59Our first pie.
00:28:01Boss.
00:28:03Sorry to interrupt.
00:28:05We've got a bad news.
00:28:07Ken called a board meeting
00:28:08and he's trying to appoint himself as a CEO.
00:28:11What?
00:28:23Ken knows I'm alive.
00:28:25That's why he's moving fast.
00:28:26He wants to secure the CEO position
00:28:27before I can stop him.
00:28:29Exactly.
00:28:30We've got to hit that meeting
00:28:31and stop him, Boss.
00:28:33I can't.
00:28:34My body's still weak.
00:28:36If I faint during the meeting
00:28:37I'm gonna make things worse.
00:28:40But if you don't show up
00:28:41Ken will win.
00:28:43He already has a lot of support.
00:28:44Yeah, I'm with you.
00:28:45You should rest.
00:28:48You're right.
00:28:50I can't go.
00:28:52But you can.
00:28:58Me?
00:28:59The CEO?
00:29:00But I don't know nothing
00:29:01about running a company.
00:29:03Why you don't let Max to do that?
00:29:05No.
00:29:06They know me too well.
00:29:08Once I step in
00:29:09they'll go all over me
00:29:11picking apart everything I do.
00:29:13That's exactly why I have to be you.
00:29:15They don't know you
00:29:16and that's our secret weapon.
00:29:18More important
00:29:19you go back off when things get tough.
00:29:21You're brave.
00:29:23I trust you.
00:29:24No, no, no.
00:29:26I've got your back.
00:29:28Okay.
00:29:29I'll do it.
00:29:30I know you would.
00:29:35Vincent asked me to inform
00:29:36that he's safe.
00:29:38He'll be back when he's ready.
00:29:40So a woman
00:29:41walks in
00:29:42says some words
00:29:44and you just buy it.
00:29:45As Vincent's associate
00:29:47I can confirm
00:29:48she's not lying.
00:29:50Oh yeah.
00:29:51She's not lying.
00:29:53So why the hell
00:29:54did she choose
00:29:55to marry a diamond bundle
00:29:57instead of me
00:29:58or Vincent?
00:29:59Why he didn't tell us
00:30:00sooner?
00:30:02I don't know.
00:30:03Why he didn't tell us
00:30:04sooner?
00:30:05This is outrageous.
00:30:06My marriage
00:30:07is my business
00:30:08but
00:30:09if you need a proof
00:30:10I can open
00:30:11to see you're safe
00:30:12right now.
00:30:13Only Vincent
00:30:14knows the passcode.
00:30:16If she can open it
00:30:17this only proves
00:30:18that she's telling us
00:30:19the truth.
00:30:25Are you seriously
00:30:26going to embarrass
00:30:27yourself like this?
00:30:28What's the matter Cam?
00:30:29Are you scared
00:30:30to get something to hide?
00:30:31How dare you
00:30:32say something like that?
00:30:33Let her try boss.
00:30:36Stopping her
00:30:37will only make us worse.
00:30:42The passcode is
00:30:43329716.
00:30:46Remember it.
00:30:54Wrong code?
00:30:56It can't be.
00:30:58The passcode is 329716.
00:31:01Well
00:31:02there you are Jenny.
00:31:03You're just a fraud
00:31:04as I see.
00:31:05Alright everyone
00:31:06calm down.
00:31:08Jenny
00:31:09please try again.
00:31:20There's no way for that
00:31:21it could be wrong.
00:31:28Ha ha ha
00:31:29so well
00:31:30it's over.
00:31:32Time for you
00:31:33two frauds
00:31:34to leave.
00:31:35Wait a second
00:31:37that's not the real safe.
00:31:39Not a real safe?
00:31:40No way
00:31:41you're just making up
00:31:42another lie.
00:31:43I can prove it.
00:31:49This tag on this safe
00:31:50says it was made
00:31:51last year.
00:31:52Vincent's safe
00:31:53has been in use
00:31:54for at least 5 years.
00:31:55That's
00:31:56absurd.
00:31:57They took it
00:31:58straight forward
00:31:59from the CEO's office
00:32:00from Vincent's room.
00:32:02Maybe
00:32:03he just replaced it himself.
00:32:05Vincent would never
00:32:06replace the safe
00:32:07without notifying the board.
00:32:08I know
00:32:09where the real safe is
00:32:12it's in the King's office.
00:32:14How
00:32:15dare you
00:32:16accusing me.
00:32:17Then prove me wrong.
00:32:18Let's bet
00:32:19if the safe is not
00:32:20in your office
00:32:21then you win.
00:32:22If not
00:32:24I leave.

00:36:01but

00:36:15Soap operas
00:36:16you're basing
00:36:17your decision
00:36:19on a gossip

00:36:53well done!
00:37:09You totally crushed
00:37:10on the board meeting today
00:37:11you shouldn't have seen
00:37:12Ken's face
00:37:13his face. He was so busy. Can you imagine? I fell for you in a moment just like this.
00:37:22I got something for you.
00:37:29Dr. Pan, the best oncologist out there. I made an appointment for your mom.
00:37:35She can see him tomorrow. Thank you, Johnny.
00:37:40I'm sorry. Call me Johnny. It's better. Okay, Johnny.
00:37:56Leo, I know you are angry. But look, if I hadn't made you take the fall, I'd be out too.
00:38:05So take this as my apology.
00:38:09Keep working for me.
00:38:19Of course, boss. What do you need? So anything about my brother or that bum who fooled us?
00:38:26Not much. Except for I remember seeing that bum about a month ago. He was all cleaned up,
00:38:35nice clothes, new haircut. He looked exactly like Vincent. It's almost as if it was the same person.
00:38:45You idiot. He is my brother.
00:38:51Jenny must be with him.
00:38:54See where they are, their location, and track him down. All right?
00:39:00What are you two talking about?
00:39:08Did I fire you, Leon? Why are you still here?
00:39:11Leon is not working here anymore. But he's still my friend.
00:39:15And he can stop by anytime he wants.
00:39:17As a CEO, I'm banning him from this office.
00:39:20No problem. I'm out.
00:39:24It's work hour, Keno. Do your job.
00:39:27All right, CEO. But hey, look, I'll win. And this isn't over. And you will lose everything.
00:39:36Brag it on. I'm not scared of you.
00:39:41Hello? What? How did this happen?
00:39:49How did this happen?
00:40:06Mom, Dr. Penn's secretary says that you have been skipping your appointments.
00:40:12Why?
00:40:13I don't want to go.
00:40:14You have cancer. You need to go.
00:40:17That doctor was recommended by Johnny. I don't trust that bum.
00:40:21How many times do I have to tell you? He's not a bum.
00:40:25Whatever. I'm busy, okay?
00:40:28You even had a cancer?
00:40:32Fine. You caught me. I don't.
00:40:47Who am I now?
00:40:52Yes, Leo?
00:40:53Boss, we found the mansion where Johnny stayed. And your brother is there, too.
00:40:57All right. So make sure he's dead.
00:41:17What are you doing here, Leo?
00:41:46My brother said if you're not dead, he wants you dead.
00:42:01You're done for now, huh?
00:42:08Don't do anything stupid, Leo.
00:42:10Stupid? This is the smartest move I've ever done.
00:42:14Besides, the whole world thinks you're dead anyway. Nobody will miss you.
00:42:30Yes?
00:42:31It's done. Your brother is dead.
00:42:35Wow. Finally.
00:42:46Of course I'm sure. You don't believe me? Come check it out yourself.
00:42:52How could you lie to me about to have a cancer?
00:42:56I did it for you, Jenny. I wanted you to marry Mr. Hopewell, and you were so stubborn.
00:43:03It was the only way I could get you to agree to marry him.
00:43:08Mads? What's wrong?
00:43:13What?
00:43:19Johnny! Are you okay?
00:43:21I'm fine. He tried to kill me.
00:43:26Did you call the police?
00:43:28Not yet. He's still useful.
00:43:30Useful? How?
00:43:32I have a plan to take out my brother, once and for all.
00:43:41What is better than calling the police?
00:43:43The only evidence is that Leo attacked me.
00:43:46Maybe someone planted a bomb in my car,
00:43:48but we don't have evidence linking my brother to anything.
00:43:51Leon's isn't testimony enough?
00:43:54My brother has money, power, and connections.
00:43:56He would have the testimony dropped before I reach the court.
00:43:59So, what is your plan?
00:44:02We need my brother's confessions to take him down.
00:44:07Listen, if I attack you, you help me get his confession.
00:44:11You make sure you get a DA cuts deal.
00:44:13You have a deal?
00:44:22Fine.
00:44:29Ross, Ken is coming.
00:44:32Okay.
00:44:36So, where is he?
00:44:40Good job, buddy. Finally.
00:44:46Wait, what's that sound?
00:44:48Like what? There's no one else here. Just you and me.
00:44:55But why there's no blood here?
00:44:57Oh, I strangled him.
00:44:59Good. Just let me check his pulse.
00:45:01No, no, no. You can't.
00:45:03What the hell are you doing?
00:45:05Because you live fingerprints, that's why.
00:45:07That's right. That's right.
00:45:09Wait. Are you messing with me or something?
00:45:17No, boss. I'm not messing with you.
00:45:19Relax. You look nervous.
00:45:22Well, of course I'm nervous. First, I'm killing someone.
00:45:26Look, everything will be fine.
00:45:29Get rid of the body and see you later.
00:45:31Boss, wait.
00:45:33I have one more question.
00:45:34Go ahead.
00:45:35Why did you have me hire someone to place a car bomb
00:45:39but then brought me over here to kill your brother?
00:45:43And why are you asking?
00:45:46Are you trying to record me or something?
00:45:48Are you wearing a wire?
00:45:53Enough, Ken.
00:45:57Enough, Ken.
00:45:58Vincent, my brother.
00:46:00Look at you. You're standing here.
00:46:02I missed you, man.
00:46:04Drop the act.
00:46:05What act? I love you.
00:46:08For once, just be real. You're so weak.
00:46:11Wait. You think you're better than me?
00:46:14You lie and manipulate everyone.
00:46:16It's not strange. It's a weakness.
00:46:19Vincent, I...
00:46:20Enough!
00:46:22I've been hit for once in your life.
00:46:25Yes.
00:46:25I hired the hitman to kill you and I plant the bomb
00:46:29and I will send more and more people to kill you until you come for good.
00:46:34Good to know.
00:46:35I've got your confession, Ken.
00:46:40I've got your confession, Ken.
00:46:43Every word is recorded.
00:46:47You think because of a record, you will win, guys?
00:46:51You think because of a record, you will win, guys?
00:46:55You have the content recorded to the police.
00:46:58You're done.
00:47:01But wait.
00:47:02I've got a last surprise.
00:47:05You come to me now.
00:47:08Don't do it, Jenny.
00:47:10If you want, don't do it.
00:47:11But I will shoot your lover.
00:47:15Come to me.
00:47:17You come to me now.
00:47:20Let her go, Ken.
00:47:24Finally, Vincent.
00:47:26I can see fear in your eyes.
00:47:32It smells good.
00:47:35This is between us.
00:47:37Pick me instead.
00:47:38Shut up!
00:47:50It's over, Ken.
00:47:54Are you okay?
00:47:57So tell me, Jen.
00:47:59Why did you choose him over me?
00:48:01Even when you knew he's just a bomb?
00:48:03I didn't care about him money, Ken.
00:48:06He's kind and sweet.
00:48:08That's what matters to you?
00:48:10This is what makes him better than you.
00:48:17It's your first day back.
00:48:18You ready?
00:48:19As long as you're with me.
00:48:29Thanks, everyone, for holding things down while I was away.
00:48:33It's good to see the company running smoothly.
00:48:35While I was away,
00:48:37Jenny did an excellent job as Italian CEO.
00:48:40And I would like her to continue on her role.
00:48:43Is there any objection?
00:48:50I'm just quite surprised.
00:48:54You earned it.
00:48:56There's someone I would like you to meet, Jenny.
00:49:06That's my mother, Susan.
00:49:11Susan is your mother?
00:49:13Yes, I am.
00:49:14Oh, but why can't I ever call you mom or something like that?
00:49:18My mom likes to keep things professional at work.
00:49:21Most people here don't even know.
00:49:23It helps me to see how people really are without favoritism.
00:49:29I see.
00:49:29Yeah, that's why Ken was so nervous around you.
00:49:32He should be.
00:49:34You know, Jenny, you really surprised me with how you handled him.
00:49:38He didn't back off.
00:49:40It's sad to see Ken lost his way,
00:49:42but I'm really glad to see you and Vincent made it through.
00:49:49You know, Susan, I always wondered,
00:49:52why did you arrange me to marry Vincent if he was just an ordinary girl?
00:49:58Oh, Jenny, you've never been just an ordinary girl.
00:50:05You're a Vanderbilt.
00:50:07There is nothing ordinary about that.
00:50:09What are you talking about?
00:50:11I'm not a Vanderbilt.
00:50:12I'm a Jennifer Bummer.
00:50:15I mean, you're biological family.
00:50:18You've been adopted by the Bowmans.
00:50:21What? Adopted?
00:50:23What do you mean?
00:50:24Wait, you didn't know?
00:50:28I didn't know either.
00:50:30The Vanderbilt family were the most prominent families in the country.
00:50:35I'm sorry I had to find out this way.
00:50:38Why no one tell me that?
00:50:39I'm sorry, honey.
00:50:40I thought your mom did.
00:50:42No, she doesn't.
00:50:44I need to talk to her.
00:50:46Sorry.
00:50:48No.
00:50:58Mom.
00:51:01I know the truth.
00:51:04What are you talking about?
00:51:05The Vanderbilts.
00:51:09I know that was adopted.
00:51:11I'm sorry, Jenny.
00:51:13Why you never told me?
00:51:15I was scared of losing you.
00:51:18I thought if you knew the truth, you'd abandon me.
00:51:22After all, you come from a very important family.
00:51:26You raised me.
00:51:27I will always be your daughter.
00:51:33I love you so much, Jenny.
00:51:42What are you doing here?
00:51:44I still don't understand why you're with him, Jenny.
00:51:48Mom, because we love each other.
00:51:51I understand that you love her, but what do you have to offer her?
00:51:57The hope worlds of what she deserves?
00:51:59You were homeless.
00:52:00You had to come live in my home to avoid wandering the streets.
00:52:05What's so funny?
00:52:07Sorry, it's just, it's no one.
00:52:10She's a little bit...
00:52:11No one.
00:52:13She's Vincent Hopewell.
00:52:15What?
00:52:19It's true.
00:52:20I've been Vincent Hopewell all along.
00:52:23How?
00:52:25You're just a bum.
00:52:27Why didn't you tell me?
00:52:30Because he lose his memory.
00:52:34I'm here for Jenny, Mr. Bowman.
00:52:37I'm not going anywhere.
00:52:42I suppose I'll have to get used to this then, won't I?
00:52:49Maybe it's a happy ending.
00:52:55Jenny, are you okay?
00:52:57Yeah, I'm fine.
00:52:58I just feel so nauseous these last days.
00:53:02I don't know why.
00:53:04Jenny, oh my god.
00:53:07You're pregnant.
00:53:09What?
00:53:10Really?
00:53:11No.
00:53:12Oh my god.
00:53:15I'm gonna have a baby?
00:53:17No.
00:53:17I'm going to be a dad?
00:53:25Hinsha, I'm exhausted from the wedding today.
00:53:39Dad?
00:53:41Mom?
00:53:53It's you.
00:53:55Why?
00:53:58Why are you doing this to me?
00:54:00We just got married in the daytime.
00:54:05It's been 10 years.
00:54:07I've never been with you for 10 years.
00:54:10Do you know why?
00:54:11I did it to get your family's fortune.
00:54:15But now we're married.
00:54:18You are no longer useful.
00:54:19You can go to hell.
00:54:24Gu Yanzhang, after all these years, have you ever loved me?
00:54:34Love?
00:54:37You know what?
00:54:38Your sister Anxiao is a hundred times more charming in bed than you.
00:54:44But you are as cold and hard as a corpse.
00:54:51Gu Yanzhang, you bastard.
00:54:53How dare you cheat on me with Anxiao?
00:54:59Nuannuan, don't you love me?
00:55:02Then you should die for us.
00:55:07Gu Yanzhang, I married you at 22 years old.
00:55:11In order to help you become a member of the prestigious family,
00:55:14I gave up my life and I tempered my strength to do my duty as a wife.
00:55:19I still cannot believe you killed me with your own hands.
00:55:22You take the destruction of the An family as a bright prize for your beloved.
00:55:27If I could have a next life, I'll make you pay the debts of blood in blood.
00:55:36Nuannuan, are you okay?
00:55:46Didn't I die?
00:55:50I thought I was dead.
00:55:52How did the sky strive?
00:55:56Have I been reborn?
00:56:07Get off.
00:56:17How did you drive?
00:56:19Do you know how to drive?
00:56:20Do you have a license?
00:56:21You almost rear-ended me.
00:56:22Do you know that?
00:56:24An Nuan, I advise you not to marry Gu Yanzhang.
00:56:27He's not a nice person.
00:56:37Do you dare to take the bride from wedding?
00:56:44What?
00:56:47Meixiang, do you have a crush on me?
00:56:51Yes.
00:56:53Nuannuan, did you hit your head?
00:56:57Ye Jinghuai, I said I have a crush on you.
00:57:00I'm getting married on the 18th of next month.
00:57:02Do you dare to come and take me from the wedding?
00:57:07Meixiang, I suggest you go to the hospital and have your brain checked.
00:57:12I'll pay for it.
00:57:15Feel free to spend it with this card.
00:57:19On the day of the wedding, if you dare to come, I'll go with you.
00:57:25I'll take this card as the bride price.
00:57:28Qiqi, let's go.
00:57:36Meixiang, the one all the men in Qingcheng city dream of marrying you are really interesting.
00:57:54Nuannuan, you are just kidding, right?
00:57:57How can you let the famous comeback man in Qingcheng city,
00:58:00Ye Jinghuai, to rob you from your wedding?
00:58:03I'm not joking.
00:58:04Then what about Gu Yanzhang?
00:58:06You're the model couple of the whole country.
00:58:09You don't know how many people admire you too.
00:58:12And now you, you're going to cheat on your husband before marriage.
00:58:16What do you take Yanzhang for?
00:58:20I treat Gu Yanzhang as beast.
00:58:22Nuannuan, did you have a good time today?
00:58:40Nuannuan, did you have a good time today?
00:58:45Do you have something to say?
00:58:46Nuannuan, are you tired?
00:58:49I'm fine.
00:58:50I need to get you a business talisman.
00:58:54Did you ask for a talisman of a baby for us?
00:58:57In my last life, you fed me the contraceptive pills for 10 years.
00:59:01And now you're pretending to want a baby talisman.
00:59:07Early this morning, Qiqi and I went to the mountain.
00:59:10I'm a bit tired.
00:59:11Okay, that's it.
00:59:12I'm hanging up now.
00:59:20Nuannuan, I think you're strange today.
00:59:23Do you have something to hide from me?
00:59:24Oh, I know it.
00:59:26I know that the feng shui of life mountain is weird.
00:59:29It's very sinister.
00:59:30You're not being haunted by something, are you?
00:59:34I cannot explain it to her.
00:59:36In a moment, I'd rather not to tell her about the rebirth now.
00:59:40So she won't worry.
00:59:42It's okay.
00:59:42No worries.
00:59:45All right, then.
00:59:46If anything happens, you must tell me.
00:59:48You cannot hide it from me.
00:59:50I have a Pilates class later.
00:59:51I gotta go.
00:59:52Bye.
00:59:55Qiqi?
01:00:02Qiqi, thank you.
01:00:04Thank God you didn't die.
01:00:08Qiqi, thank you.
01:00:10Thank God you didn't die.
01:00:16Qiqi?
01:00:18Qiqi?
01:00:20Qiqi?
01:00:21I'll take you to the hospital.
01:00:23Let's go to the hospital.
01:00:26Qiqi, let's go to the hospital.
01:00:31Nuannuan, you're still in shock from the accident, aren't you?
01:00:35Don't worry.
01:00:36A scoundrel like me will survive for a thousand years.
01:00:39Just a small car accident.
01:00:41How could it kill me?
01:00:42Let's go.
01:00:45Thank goodness nothing has happened yet.
01:00:47There's still time to fix it.
01:00:49Qiqi, I'll protect you this time.
01:00:56Dad, Mom.
01:00:58Nuannuan, didn't you go to pray for Yanshan?
01:01:01Why did you buy so many things?
01:01:14Why are your eyes so red?
01:01:16Maybe it's from the incense today.
01:01:19Let me take a look.
01:01:21It's okay, Mom.
01:01:24By the way, the Gu family called today
01:01:27and said that they want to meet us to talk about the...
