00:00:00Whoever has a child first, either you or your sister will inherit the Benson Group.
00:00:23They're all ready for you.
00:00:25Welcome, Miss Benson.
00:00:27Sorry, Miss, why are you in such a rush?
00:00:31This whole inheritance thing was my grandfather's idea.
00:00:35I would rather die than let my sister run things.
00:00:39Not this one.
00:00:47Is this it?
00:00:48How am I supposed to trust that their genes are good enough for my child?
00:00:51I made sure they met the requirements.
00:00:53You are six foot two inches tall, no family history of genetic diseases, and Ivy League graduates.
00:01:00Miss Benson, I personally chose each one just for you.
00:01:17Sir, you had a little too much.
00:01:19Let me help you to your room.
00:01:20No, I can handle it myself.
00:01:21You can go.
00:01:22All right.
00:01:23Take care, sir.
00:01:30You over there in the corner, why weren't you lined up with the others?
00:01:46Bring him to my room.
00:01:47Yes, Miss Benson.
00:01:58Well, this isn't what I expected for today, but I'm sure you know who you're dealing with.
00:02:05You talk too much.
00:02:22If you're asking for trouble...
00:02:45You're awake already.
00:02:48You were great last night.
00:02:52What do you mean?
00:02:54What, you want me to give you a pat on the back?
00:02:57Don't get greedy.
00:02:59I've given you more than enough.
00:03:07You really have no idea who I am, do you?
00:03:09I don't need to.
00:03:11I'm not going to.
00:03:13You really have no idea who I am, do you?
00:03:15I don't need to.
00:03:31Happy with last night?
00:03:35Not bad.
00:03:37Wow, if that comes out of your mouth, it's a really nice compliment.
00:03:43The proposal for the bidding project has been submitted to the Palma Group.
00:03:47But I hear there's quite a few submissions.
00:03:49Yeah, we need to land that project no matter what.
00:03:53We'll do whatever it takes.
00:03:54And yet, Palma just returned to the country yesterday.
00:03:57It's said he'll personally oversee this project.
00:04:08Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:13Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:23Did you really think getting a project from the Palma Group would be that easy?
00:04:27Aveline? What are you doing here?
00:04:30Just here to wake you from your daydream.
00:04:33Oh, by the way, my fiancé Xander is going to introduce me to Mr. Elliot at the Palma Group's bidding event.
00:04:41How does that sound?
00:04:44You and your good-for-nothing boyfriend? It sounds impossible.
00:04:48Don't forget, Xander is Mr. Palma's nephew.
00:04:51And you're just a nobody, Sam.
00:04:56Unfortunately for you, Mr. Palma's not so stupid, so I think I'll make the right decision.
00:05:02Just wait till I have this project secured.
00:05:05You'll be the first to notice.
00:05:12How are you feeling, sir? Have a few too many last night?
00:05:18Did you get...
00:05:23There are several companies interested in partnering on this project.
00:05:28Here are the proposals.
00:05:32Yeah, these are mediocre.
00:05:34This one from the Benson Group.
00:05:39Make sure they're invited to tomorrow's pre-bid conference.
00:06:05Mr. Palma, I've sent the invite to the Benson Group upon your request.
00:06:09Their rep is Miss Claire Benson.
00:06:23It is her.
00:06:27What are you doing here?
00:06:29What are you doing here?
00:06:31Oh, I pitched a project to the Palma Group and got invited.
00:06:35Turns out Mr. Palma's really interested in what I have to say.
00:06:41Don't get too confident. There's a lot that can still happen.
00:06:45Once I sit down with Mr. Palma and go over the details, he'll choose me for sure.
00:06:49You'll love this. Just need to worry about looking pretty.
00:06:53Leave the business stuff to me.
00:06:56Claire!
00:06:57I don't know to get to you. She's just jealous.
00:07:01No. I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:07:04What are you doing?
00:07:24Jesus, how are you so clumsy?
00:07:27What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin the conference or something?
00:07:31Who is that causing such a commotion at the Palma's Group bidding event?
00:07:35I heard she's the Benson family's eldest daughter. So irresponsible.
00:07:40You pushed me!
00:07:42Oh, Claire, don't make false accusations.
00:07:45If you're going to make such a scene, you might as well leave.
00:07:48Yeah. Claire, just go. We don't want to mess up the deal and upset the Palma family.
00:07:54I was invited. Who are you to throw me out?
00:07:57Well, as a Palma, we can do exactly as we please.
00:08:02Mr. Palma has arrived.
00:08:09Mr. Palma has arrived.
00:08:20I'm Charlie Wheeler, Mr. Palma's secretary.
00:08:23Thank you all so much for attending the pre-bid conference.
00:08:26Mr. Palma is tied up with some urgent matters and won't be attending.
00:08:30Thank you for your understanding.
00:08:32Well, Mr. Palma is a bit of a mystery. It's tough to catch him.
00:08:36That's a shame. I was really looking forward to getting to know him.
00:08:39Everyone here is thinking the same thing. Did you really think you had a shot?
00:08:44Mr. Wheeler, I'm so sorry, but my sister was a bit clumsy and made a mess.
00:08:51I will have her leave right away.
00:08:55Miss Benson, we apologise for the complication.
00:08:58To make it right, Mr. Palma has arranged some fresh clothes for you, if you'd like to follow me.
00:09:05Me?
00:09:06Yes. Please, come with me.
00:09:15Wow. Does this mean she might actually get to meet Mr. Palma?
00:09:19What luck.
00:09:20If I'd have known that, I'd have made a scene too.
00:09:27You just made things easier for Claire.
00:09:29Uncle Elliot doesn't usually miss things like this. I wonder what got into him.
00:09:36Santa, help me figure out a way to sabotage Claire's proposal.
00:09:41If I get this project, I'll have more power in the company.
00:09:46I'll see what I can do.
00:09:50Charlie, can I ask you something?
00:09:52Sure thing. What's on your mind?
00:09:53Is it possible to have a chat with Mr. Palma?
00:09:56I've done a deep dive into the Palma Group's current bidding project,
00:09:59and I've put together a solid proposal. I'd like to speak to Mr. Palma in person.
00:10:05According to protocol, you would need to speak with the project manager at Palma Group first.
00:10:12But I'll check in with Mr. Palma.
00:10:15Wait, isn't that the escort from before?
00:10:20Has he found himself a sugar mama?
00:10:23Miss Benson?
00:10:26Mr. Palma has left a spare change of clothes in there for you.
00:10:29I'll be right back, okay?
00:10:30Thank you, Charlie.
00:10:32You've been gone so long.
00:10:35Did you lose weight?
00:10:37Or are you taking care of yourself?
00:10:39You've been gone so long.
00:10:40Did you lose weight?
00:10:43Or are you taking care of yourself?
00:10:46Now, Grandma keeps asking about you.
00:10:48Don't forget to visit her when you're free.
00:10:52I'll make sure I see her soon.
00:10:55You go on and keep Grandma company.
00:10:57I'll catch up to you once I've finished my work.
00:11:02Mr. Palma?
00:11:03Miss Benson mentioned that she had a detailed proposal and wants to talk to you.
00:11:08She wants to see me?
00:11:10Alright.
00:11:11Oh, by the way, I need you to run a background check on Claire.
00:11:16Consider it done, sir.
00:11:23Hmm, Mr. Palma has a great taste.
00:11:32What are you doing here?
00:11:34Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:39Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:46Not bad.
00:11:48That dress really suits you.
00:11:50This is a bidding event for the Palma Group family.
00:11:53You need to leave, like, right now.
00:11:57Is it hurt?
00:12:02How did you know I was hurt?
00:12:09How do you know your way around everything so well?
00:12:11I've been here a few times.
00:12:26Do you treat every woman like this?
00:12:29What do you mean?
00:12:31Well, I just noticed.
00:12:32It seems you've attached yourself to a rich guest at the Palma Group event.
00:12:36Must have some solid connections.
00:12:39I really think you've got the wrong idea.
00:12:41You don't need to explain.
00:12:42I know you're just trying to impress me with your tricks.
00:12:45I won't be coming back to you again.
00:12:47You don't mean to waste your energy on me.
00:12:51Are you really sure you won't come looking for me later?
00:12:55I might end up regretting it.
00:12:58With all these options, why would I regret anything?
00:13:02Oh, Claire.
00:13:03I can't wait for you to see my true self.
00:13:07CLAIRE
00:13:10Charlie, did Mr. Palma agree to meet with me?
00:13:14I'm sorry, Mr. Palma isn't free today.
00:13:17When is he free? Can you set up a meeting?
00:13:21I shall let you know as soon as he's available to meet.
00:13:23Thank you for your help.
00:13:30Grandfather, are you okay?
00:13:33Why did you call a doctor?
00:13:34It's all your fault, Claire.
00:13:36Thankfully the doctor got here just in time.
00:13:39Claire, what happened at the banquet?
00:13:42The Palma Group phoned me directly.
00:13:46Postponing our cooperation with the Benson Group.
00:13:51What? But why?
00:13:53Isn't it because you made a fool of yourself at the bidding event and caused such a scene?
00:13:58How can that be?
00:14:00Claire, you've really disappointed me.
00:14:05You know how everybody is relying on this project.
00:14:10Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:14:12Xander is going to talk to Mr. Palma for me.
00:14:15Well done.
00:14:17Xander will have to work very hard on the cooperation.
00:14:22That isn't needed.
00:14:24I'll take back the project myself.
00:14:35You don't have an appointment, so you can't go up.
00:14:39Okay, fine. Can I make an appointment right now?
00:14:42Unfortunately, Mr. Palma's schedule is packed for the next three months.
00:14:50So you can leave your contact info with us and we'll get back to you right away.
00:15:05Mr. Palma's office is on the top floor. Why can't I find it?
00:15:18Mr. Palma's office is on the top floor. Why can't I find it?
00:15:23Hey, didn't you guys finish up the repairs already?
00:15:26What are you still doing here?
00:15:28Yeah, well, I'll be right down.
00:15:30Hey, you! Stop! Where are you going?
00:15:32Who are you?
00:15:33Security!
00:15:37Mr. Palma, I'm so sorry to intrude. My name's Claire. Claire Benson. I'm with the...
00:15:45What?
00:15:52It's with the outfit.
00:15:57Darling, I've bought a table for us tonight.
00:16:03Why is there a plumber here?
00:16:10Madam, I apologise. This is my mistake. I'll make sure to take it on the way.
00:16:16Let me go! I just wanted to speak to Mr. Palma!
00:16:21Do you know her?
00:16:23Yeah. We've crossed paths a few times.
00:16:27Alright, alright! I can walk myself!
00:16:32I've seen a lot of women like you come around here and try and get close to Mr. Palma.
00:16:36Let me assure you, that won't work.
00:16:39It's that lady in there, Mrs. Margaret Palma.
00:16:42If you think you're going to use her to get close to Mr. Palma, let me be clear, that won't work.
00:16:48Mrs. Margaret Palma having that kind of meeting in her son's office?
00:16:52That's a real shocker.
00:16:54How did the meeting go?
00:16:56I didn't even get to see Elliot Palma. I need to find another way.
00:17:04Hello?
00:17:12Kathleen might be expecting.
00:17:15What?
00:17:17Kathleen might be expecting.
00:17:20Are you kidding?
00:17:22Kathleen and her fiancé went to the maternity clinic together today.
00:17:27This can't be happening. I need to figure this out immediately.
00:17:32Keep searching for someone. Don't hold back on the costs. I need this tonight.
00:17:36Okay.
00:17:47So, are you telling me Claire was looking for a male escort?
00:17:52Yes, sir.
00:17:53Her grandfather has made it clear that only those who can provide a third generation first will inherit the Benson family business.
00:18:00So she came up with this absurd plan and she thinks I'm one of them.
00:18:05I also heard that she's on the lookout for a male escort tonight.
00:18:09It seems she didn't have any luck last time around.
00:18:12I need to find out why she's meeting these escorts tonight.
00:18:25I've got loads of tricks up my sleeve. They'll definitely please you.
00:18:31Doubt that.
00:18:33Next.
00:18:34Next.
00:18:36Uh, Miss Brent, uh, I, uh, my name is, uh, uh.
00:18:43You can't even say your own name. Next.
00:18:47Oh, this one looks nice.
00:18:50Look at those biceps.
00:18:52Skipping leg day, though.
00:18:57Who are these people you're bringing to me?
00:19:00I just want someone who feels right.
00:19:03Do you have any specific requests?
00:19:18He was definitely the best.
00:19:21I shouldn't have been so tough on him.
00:19:24The one in black looks decent. Bring him to my room?
00:19:27Looks decent. Bring him to my room?
00:19:45Mr Palmer, what can I do for you?
00:19:48Quit.
00:19:50Why? Why would someone say no to my offer?
00:19:54He mentioned he had an emergency.
00:19:58Okay, so hire someone else then.
00:20:01I saw one of the other guys, like, a moment ago.
00:20:04He's not available either.
00:20:07What, he had an emergency as well?
00:20:09No, Miss Brent.
00:20:11He's not available either.
00:20:14What, he had an emergency as well?
00:20:16No, Miss Benson. He's already been hired by someone else.
00:20:19What about the others?
00:20:22I just spoke to the manager and he said...
00:20:26He said what?
00:20:27There's only one escort left in the entire place.
00:20:31How is that possible?
00:20:33The manager said a VIP booked out all the others.
00:20:38All hired by one person?
00:20:43That is quite a craving.
00:20:46Alright, let's just go with the one that's available.
00:20:59You again.
00:21:00Just wanted to be sure who the father of your baby was.
00:21:14No.
00:21:38Why does my nose itch?
00:21:43Is this the AC or something?
00:21:50Give me your phone.
00:22:04I'll call you when I'm ready again.
00:22:10Just don't book anyone else in, Thomas.
00:22:14Okay, well I'll just be waiting for you here.
00:22:24I heard a VIP dropped a load of cash in here yesterday.
00:22:28You mean Mr Palmer?
00:22:31Mr Palmer?
00:22:33Elliot Palmer.
00:22:36Was in here last night.
00:22:40Elliot Palmer was in here last night.
00:22:43Oh, he was definitely here.
00:22:45If you know what I mean.
00:22:47You mean...
00:22:51You didn't hear it from me, but...
00:22:53Mr Palmer asked for all the male escorts.
00:22:56I can't believe Elliot would be into something like that.
00:23:00But I guess if Margaret is a wild card, why wouldn't her son?
00:23:03No wonder they're related.
00:23:05Does Mr Palmer come here often?
00:23:08That was his first visit.
00:23:10Please do let me know if he comes again.
00:23:13That might not be the best idea.
00:23:26No worries Miss Benson, I'll handle it.
00:23:34Hello?
00:23:35Claire, do you even realise the trouble you've caused?
00:23:39Get home right now!
00:23:44Get home right now!
00:23:50Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:24:00Claire, even if you are looking for a guy, you shouldn't just settle for an escort.
00:24:06The gossip is already everywhere, saying your personal life is a disaster.
00:24:10And it's hitting Benson's stock prices.
00:24:15Claire, I'm very disappointed.
00:24:19Grandfather, it's a misunderstanding, clearly.
00:24:22I was at the bar before business.
00:24:25I actually have a boyfriend.
00:24:29A boyfriend?
00:24:32How did I not know about that?
00:24:34Since when do you need to know my personal life?
00:24:40Why not have him come to Grandpa's birthday in a few days?
00:24:46Have him meet Grandpa.
00:24:49Kathleen's got a good point.
00:24:51I want to see if he's a good fit.
00:24:53If he is, we can get and handle things early.
00:24:58Quiet the rumours and boost the stock prices.
00:25:05Yes, Grandpa.
00:25:11Here, this is for you.
00:25:19You're so generous.
00:25:28Sir, last night you were...
00:25:31Thank you for your arrangements last night.
00:25:35All right, see you.
00:25:40Miss Benson really is something else.
00:25:42It was just yesterday she was asking me about Mr Palmer.
00:25:45Look at them now, so close already.
00:25:51Isn't Alfred your boss?
00:25:53Why didn't he just call you sir?
00:25:55He did.
00:25:57He was always nice to us.
00:25:59Speaking of last night, I heard Mr Palmer rented out the whole place to male escorts.
00:26:05You knew the mysterious Mr Palmer had such wild tastes.
00:26:08I wonder if he's around. He's probably too busy in bed.
00:26:12Is that why you wanted to see me?
00:26:15No.
00:26:18I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:26:23I'm sorry.
00:26:25I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:26:30Are you for real?
00:26:33It's just an act to help me deal with my grandfather.
00:26:38Do you think this will work?
00:26:40Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're happy with the deal.
00:26:43Money alone won't cut it.
00:26:45Fine, what do you want?
00:26:47Don't be too greedy.
00:26:49I just want...
00:26:52You.
00:26:56From now on, you're a young entrepreneur just returning home from business.
00:27:03Right.
00:27:05Let's go find you an outfit.
00:27:13What? Are you saying Mike won't let me borrow the clothes?
00:27:17Yes, that's right. Mr Brown decided not to lend out anything.
00:27:21Borrow it? Why didn't you just buy it?
00:27:23Mike's design is the most exclusive in the country.
00:27:27Even celebrities from overseas have to book a year in advance to wear his clothing.
00:27:32It's not something you can just buy.
00:27:34We had a deal.
00:27:36Where is Mike? I want to speak with him personally.
00:27:39He's not here.
00:27:41Or, he's just avoiding me.
00:27:44Enough.
00:27:46I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:50Why?
00:27:52With all this recent media attention around you,
00:27:55aligning my brand with you right now is not ideal.
00:27:59Especially considering I can't control who may end up in my designs.
00:28:04Oh, I hope you understand. It's nothing personal.
00:28:07I just have to prioritize what's best for you.
00:28:09I'm sorry.
00:28:11Oh, I hope you understand. It's nothing personal.
00:28:14I just have to prioritize what's best for me and my brand.
00:28:20What's the issue here?
00:28:22You! Mr...
00:28:24Mike, is it? Oh, it's just me.
00:28:27So, um, I'm hearing that...
00:28:30I'm not worthy to wear your clothes.
00:28:33Oh, no, no, not at all. It would be an honour if you were to wear my designs.
00:28:39Sorry, is this how you treat all your customers?
00:28:43Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Benson. This is all my fault.
00:28:48Why the sudden change in attitudes?
00:28:50Well, this, um...
00:28:53gentleman's style and presence aligns perfectly with my brand.
00:28:59Please, please, if I may...
00:29:03Who says that looks can't pay the bills?
00:29:25Woo! Hits you like a glove.
00:29:28Well, it was styled just right for this gentleman.
00:29:31Mm-hm. Let's see what Kathleen has to say this time.
00:29:38Hey, just remember, this is a 1945 Chateau de John Rothschild.
00:29:42Just say that you bought it.
00:29:44I already told you, I have a gift. It's on its way.
00:29:47What could you have possibly gotten?
00:29:49I know your job is tough. Don't go crazy with it, OK?
00:29:52Just keep it short. Don't let anything slip.
00:30:02Hello, Mr Benson. My name's Elliot. I'm Claire's boyfriend.
00:30:06Elliot?
00:30:08Mm.
00:30:09Please take a seat.
00:30:14Where on earth did Claire find a guy like him?
00:30:18And that's a monk design, isn't it?
00:30:21Don't worry. I heard Claire went to a bar the other day.
00:30:26She probably hired him. I'll expose her to sweet.
00:30:35So, Elliot, what do you do?
00:30:38Well, I work...
00:30:39He...
00:30:41Well, he just moved back to the country and started a construction company.
00:30:46Oh, isn't that something?
00:30:48The Benson Group's just getting into construction, too.
00:30:52I not have Claire's new boyfriend.
00:30:54Share his future plans with Grandpa.
00:30:57Maybe even share some advice.
00:31:03Well, he's just starting out, you know.
00:31:05He's just figuring it out right now.
00:31:07Letting me know what he's up to.
00:31:09I don't know.
00:31:12Well, he's just starting out, you know.
00:31:14He's just figuring it out right now.
00:31:16Claire, can your boyfriend not speak for himself?
00:31:21Claire, stop interrupting.
00:31:24I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:27Let's see what this escort can come up with.
00:31:35I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:42I want to shake up the building bid that's traditionally used,
00:31:45and, um, some agencies.
00:31:48Now, these won't be like regular branches.
00:31:50They'll produce everything themselves
00:31:52to keep higher profit margins on the overall projects.
00:32:01He really seems to know what he's talking about.
00:32:04It's just a coincidence.
00:32:06Elliot, I'll chat today.
00:32:08Elliot, I'll chat today.
00:32:10It's really given me a lot to think about.
00:32:13You know an awful lot for a man of your age.
00:32:16Thank you, sir.
00:32:18Wow, he must have really put an effort to memorise that.
00:32:21Oh, that was definitely needed.
00:32:23Oh, Grandpa, Elliot also bought you a gift.
00:32:30Is this a rare vintage wine?
00:32:32Yeah, we bought it as a sign of respect to you.
00:32:36We hope you enjoy it.
00:32:42Oh, I remember this bottle.
00:32:45It was auctioned off last month.
00:32:48The last name of the buyer was Benson, right?
00:32:52No, you must be wrong.
00:32:55I actually have the auction news right here, Grandpa, see?
00:32:59This bottle was definitely bought by Claire.
00:33:02Claire?
00:33:05Elliot, could you not afford a gift, or did you just not care?
00:33:10Claire?
00:33:11Yes, I did buy it, but I...
00:33:13Claire bought this because she really cares.
00:33:15My gift is on its way.
00:33:19If you buy something random right now, it will actually make it worse.
00:33:22Just trust me.
00:33:24Seriously, Claire?
00:33:26What kind of boyfriend did you find?
00:33:30Did you just pick him up off the street?
00:33:39Mr. Benson, there's a rather fancy car parked outside,
00:33:43and it seems to be blocking the front entrance.
00:33:49There's a rather fancy car parked outside,
00:33:51and it seems to be blocking the front entrance.
00:33:54Is that Xander?
00:33:55It's definitely Xander.
00:33:57Are you here to bring presents for your grandpa?
00:33:59No.
00:34:01Oh, Xander, I knew it was you!
00:34:12Happy birthday, Mr. Benson.
00:34:14Mr. Benson, these gifts are for you.
00:34:18What?
00:34:23Is this the Hulk special watch that's worth millions?
00:34:28I didn't know they made them anymore.
00:34:30Well, I happen to know the CEO very well,
00:34:33and I got one from his private collection, just for you.
00:34:39Oh, look at the colour of that gem.
00:34:42The clarity.
00:34:44Start by quality, even if you've got a stash of money.
00:34:49Did you really get all these gifts?
00:34:51Yeah. Yeah, I did, actually.
00:34:55Do you accept our gifts?
00:34:57I accept these gifts.
00:34:59Thank you very much.
00:35:03Didn't you say he was just an escort?
00:35:06How on earth could he afford anything?
00:35:09Is it possible that Claire's actually found herself a rich boyfriend?
00:35:13Seriously?
00:35:15Seriously, how did you afford these?
00:35:17They're all fake, of course.
00:35:19I had them made up special for a lot of money.
00:35:25Eight thousand?
00:35:26Eighty thousand.
00:35:28All this to make you look good.
00:35:30You should probably pay me back later.
00:35:36What's so special about that?
00:35:38Xander will be here soon, and he's Mr. Elliot Palmer's nephew.
00:35:42The Palmer family's wealth and status is far superior to some flashy boyfriend.
00:35:49My nephew? If he shows up, won't everyone know who I really am?
00:35:53Hello, everyone.
00:36:01Hello, everyone.
00:36:03You look lovely.
00:36:05Darling.
00:36:08You must be Claire's boyfriend.
00:36:10Good to meet you.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12I assume haircut wasn't the top of your checklist, eh?
00:36:20You really have no idea who I am.
00:36:24Why would I know you?
00:36:27Xander, this is Elliot.
00:36:30He's an entrepreneur that's just come back from abroad.
00:36:34Grandpa's really into this guy.
00:36:36Hurry up and give him your gift.
00:36:38Let's stop all that.
00:36:42This is a vintage 1992 bottle of wine.
00:36:44I had my uncle set it up just for you.
00:36:501992.
00:36:52Never seen one of this nature?
00:36:54Or have you got something better to show me?
00:36:58Well, they say it's the fun of the trade.
00:37:02Well, they say it's the thought that counts, right?
00:37:07I'm happy anyway.
00:37:09A rich family like the Palmer's can't even get a decent bottle of wine.
00:37:13Xander's such a tightwad.
00:37:15I bet Elliot Palmer is worse.
00:37:17That's not fair.
00:37:19Maybe Elliot Palmer has no idea who Xander even is.
00:37:24How could that be? It's his nephew.
00:37:27What's your last name?
00:37:32Never mind.
00:37:34You're just an escort.
00:37:35There's no way you could be linked to the Palmer family.
00:37:37Claire, Kathleen.
00:37:40It's lovely to see you two settle down.
00:37:44It really makes me very happy.
00:37:47I'll take great care of Catherine.
00:37:49And the family, of course.
00:37:52I'll take great care of Catherine.
00:37:54And the family, of course.
00:37:57Claire, now that Kathleen's pregnant,
00:38:00you two will have to hurry up a bit.
00:38:04All in good time, Grandpa.
00:38:10You did really great today.
00:38:16Go ahead and head back first. I'll catch up later.
00:38:19Just remember to pay me back for the gifts and the car rental.
00:38:23Just remember to pay me back for the gifts and the car rental.
00:38:27Yeah, sure thing, money waster.
00:38:39Boss, found out what you wanted?
00:38:42That Xander is just the son of the Palmer family's driver.
00:38:45Changed his name a while back to trick people.
00:38:48I'm just curious as to where he came from.
00:38:51Looks like a fake. Should we file charges?
00:38:54I can get the legal team to whip up some papers.
00:38:57No. No, not at the moment.
00:38:59I want them to realise that the higher they climb, the higher they fall.
00:39:03Can you meet me tonight?
00:39:22You have an international meeting already set.
00:39:26Sorry, I can't do tonight.
00:39:29Guess I'll have to find somebody else.
00:39:31Apparently even booking an escort is a hassle.
00:39:38Are you seriously going to find someone else?
00:39:40I'm afraid Miss Benson is set on having a child.
00:39:43You need to put an end to this situation once and for all.
00:39:46I thought the Benson group were keen on working with us.
00:39:54So you're saying that the Palmer group not only wants to discuss the partnership,
00:39:58but Mr Palmer wants to set up a meeting today?
00:40:00I just heard from his secretary. It's confirmed.
00:40:03Well, cancel the bar reservation then.
00:40:06Get a car ready. We're going to the Palmer group.
00:40:20Come in.
00:40:22Mr Palmer.
00:40:24Mr Palmer.
00:40:26I'm Claire.
00:40:27Claire Benson.
00:40:29This is the project proposal we've been meaning to share with you.
00:40:40You are Claire.
00:40:42Is this really Mr Palmer, the CEO?
00:40:45Why is he wearing that mask?
00:40:48Is he hiding something?
00:40:50You have five minutes.
00:40:52Wait, that voice sounds so familiar.
00:40:56Miss Benson.
00:40:58Sorry.
00:40:59The proposal tells you everything you need to know.
00:41:04The Benson group has a lot of experience in this area.
00:41:07We can help your company grow in the property sector within two quarters.
00:41:11This is good.
00:41:13The Benson group has really been looking forward to working with you.
00:41:16But we have five minutes.
00:41:19But we have five other companies who are submitting similar proposals.
00:41:25Why should we choose yours?
00:41:27Whatever you need, I can do it. I can make it happen.
00:41:32There's just one thing I'd like from you.
00:41:36Yes, of course.
00:41:38Whatever you need, as long as it's within my power, consider it done.
00:41:42I want you to be my secret lover.
00:41:48I want you to be my secret lover.
00:41:53What did you just say?
00:41:55From now on, you are not permitted to see anyone else.
00:42:00Didn't you say you would do whatever it takes?
00:42:02But I...
00:42:05Never mind.
00:42:12Miss Palmer.
00:42:14I accept your conditions.
00:42:18Are you certain about this?
00:42:20If this is what it takes to get the deal...
00:42:23All right, fine. Charlie, give me a contract.
00:42:26Why does he always put Miss Benson through this?
00:42:31This is a secret deal.
00:42:33Once you sign, you will follow all the rules I make.
00:42:35Whenever I call, you must answer.
00:42:39The partnership with your company will start right away.
00:42:42Are you ready for this?
00:42:48Heh.
00:42:50I didn't think Mr. Benson would have even less pride than I thought.
00:42:53Pride doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:42:56Mr. Palmer.
00:42:58What is wrong about you?
00:43:07What are you doing?
00:43:08I just want to reveal the ugly truth behind the mask.
00:43:10The one that you hide from everyone.
00:43:13Why is your head made of metal?
00:43:15Don't let this little bit of power go to your head.
00:43:18There are plenty of people that would love to go on a date with me.
00:43:21You should take a look in the mirror and ask if you even deserve me.
00:43:30Sir, don't let Miss Benson get to you.
00:43:33She's just trying to exploit her perceived weakness, that's all.
00:43:42What's the matter?
00:43:45You're more fascinating than I thought.
00:43:49Oh, Elliot's finally back in town.
00:43:52But I haven't seen him all day.
00:43:54I think Elliot might be in love.
00:43:58What?
00:44:00Last week, out of nowhere, he sent a ton of pricey gifts to Mr. Benson for his birthday.
00:44:06Have you ever seen him go out of his way for anyone like that?
00:44:10He's got to be interested in the Benson family's daughter.
00:44:17Elliot's already been to meet the head of the family.
00:44:21We must figure out how to meet the Bensons.
00:44:26Josh?
00:44:28Yes, ma'am. What can I do for you?
00:44:31I need you to go over to the Benson family and ask them to dinner.
00:44:35And this is a gift for my daughter-in-law.
00:44:39Please make sure it gets delivered.
00:44:47Are you saying Mrs. Bernice Palmer wants to meet us?
00:44:53Well, with Kathleen pregnant, it's about time both families got together to talk about the wedding.
00:45:04Miss Benson's having a baby.
00:45:07I need to rush back and tell the madam.
00:45:11I apologize for the Palmer family's mistake.
00:45:14I hope you can overlook it.
00:45:16The madam thinks a lot of Miss Benson and sends me with a gift, now that she knows.
00:45:25May I just ask which of these ladies are...
00:45:28Oh, this is my younger daughter, Kathleen.
00:45:32Right, Miss Kathleen Benson.
00:45:36This is a special gift from the madam to Miss Kathleen Benson.
00:45:43Wow, it's gorgeous. I love it.
00:45:53The gift has been delivered, madam.
00:45:56The future in-laws and the younger sister looks pretty friendly.
00:46:01But the older sister looks a little bit aloof.
00:46:07Mum, what is going on?
00:46:13How can you really know someone from a few comments?
00:46:17I need to see for myself.
00:46:20I'm heading out now.
00:46:23Go meet the Bensons on my behalf.
00:46:28How do we want to meet our Kathleen? What are you doing here?
00:46:32You just had to tag along.
00:46:34Grandfather wanted me to talk to the Palmers about working with them.
00:46:37You clearly know nothing about business.
00:46:39Claire, you only get to meet Mrs. Palmer because of me.
00:46:42So don't say anything dumb later.
00:46:45Get off me!
00:46:47You won't tag.
00:46:49Please help me.
00:46:51Back off, you little...
00:46:53Back off, you little...
00:46:55Back off, you little...
00:46:57Claire, we're nearly at the restaurant.
00:46:59You're not seriously going to make us wait for dinner with Mrs. Margaret Palmer,
00:47:03this dirty old woman?
00:47:24No, we need to get you to a hospital.
00:47:26Claire, are you serious?
00:47:28Come on, forget about her. Let's go.
00:47:33Young lady, you're very kind.
00:47:37If only my granddaughter-in-law was like you.
00:47:40Oh, well, funny enough, I'm looking for a boyfriend.
00:47:44Jim, you've got a boyfriend?
00:47:47Yes.
00:47:49I'm looking for a boyfriend.
00:47:51Jim.
00:47:53Are you all right? Can you walk?
00:47:55Let me call you a cab.
00:47:57Actually, I just need to sit down.
00:47:59There's a restaurant just ahead.
00:48:01If you could take me there, I'll get my grandson to pick me up.
00:48:04Of course, of course, I'll take you there.
00:48:10Please pick me up from the Greenhouse Restaurant.
00:48:14I'll explain.
00:48:20Make sure you wow Mrs. Palmer.
00:48:25If they support us, you'll be able to pull the shots in the Benson Group.
00:48:30Relax, I'm not dumb like Claire,
00:48:33missing an opportunity to meet with Mrs. Margaret Palmer for some messy old lady.
00:48:38Lucy, what's wrong with her?
00:48:41How could she bring that messy old lady in here?
00:48:47What are you doing?
00:48:50Why did you bring her here?
00:48:52If Mrs. Palmer sees one of the Benson family with some dirty old beggar,
00:48:56it won't look good for us.
00:48:58Get her out of here.
00:49:00She is not a beggar.
00:49:02And this is a restaurant. Anyone can come in.
00:49:08Well, I'm going to have a look.
00:49:13Well, well, well, what have we here?
00:49:19Where does a messy old lady get such fancy jewellery?
00:49:23It must be stolen.
00:49:27This will be evidence.
00:49:29I'll call the police.
00:49:31Give it back. My grandson gave that to me.
00:49:34Kathleen, give it back to her.
00:49:36Let's not waste any more time.
00:49:38Waiter!
00:49:43Get this thief out of here.
00:49:46Get your filthy hands off me.
00:49:49Stop it!
00:49:53Grandma, are you OK?
00:49:58Now you can see who's been insulting your grandmother.
00:50:02Grandmother?
00:50:04So the grandson that old lady was searching for is him?
00:50:08Oh.
00:50:11It's you.
00:50:13I thought you were just a lowly escort, but I gave you too much credit.
00:50:18Someone like you doesn't belong in the Benson family.
00:50:21Having a con artist like you in the family is a disgrace to our name.
00:50:28Enough!
00:50:30It's clear that you're the one who doesn't belong in the Palmer family.
00:50:35Mrs Palmer.
00:50:37Mrs Margaret Palmer.
00:50:40Oh, well, I'm really sorry.
00:50:43We appear to have had a terrible mix-up.
00:50:46My eldest daughter brought the wrong people in,
00:50:49and, well, I'll have them leave immediately.
00:50:52You two are the ones who should go.
00:50:56This is the Palmer family's restaurant, and you're not welcome here.
00:51:00Mrs Palmer, are you sure you're not confused?
00:51:15Get out, now!
00:51:20Get out, now!
00:51:37Oh, Elliot, I need to be clear today.
00:51:41I really don't like that Kathleen you're hanging about with.
00:51:45Exactly.
00:51:46With her attitude, even if she had a Palmer baby, I wouldn't let her into the family.
00:51:51Kathleen!
00:51:53You two definitely have the wrong idea.
00:51:57Definitely have the wrong idea.
00:51:59Kathleen isn't my girlfriend, and her kid has nothing to do with me.
00:52:04Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.
00:52:06She and her mum don't seem like nice people.
00:52:10Claire.
00:52:14Claire seems familiar.
00:52:19Wait a minute.
00:52:21She's the plumber.
00:52:23I think Claire is sweet.
00:52:26Claire, she's even more of a hassle.
00:52:29You seem to know her pretty well.
00:52:33Is there something between you two?
00:52:35Yeah, let's not talk about that now.
00:52:38Oh, Kathleen's fiancé, Xander, has been pretending to be part of the Palmer family.
00:52:51Mum, Mrs Palmer really hates me now.
00:52:54What am I going to do?
00:52:57Darling, it's fine.
00:52:59As long as Xander cares about you, that's all that matters.
00:53:02He'll say nice things to Mrs Palmer, and she'll forgive us.
00:53:07That's the only way.
00:53:10It's all Claire's fault.
00:53:12She's trying to sabotage my marriage to the Palmer family on purpose.
00:53:17Don't worry, darling.
00:53:21I'll make sure she pays for this.
00:53:30It's all here.
00:53:33No need to worry.
00:53:35Every year on the anniversary of your mum's passing,
00:53:38you come to the flower field she planted,
00:53:41you pay your respects,
00:53:43you take care of the garden,
00:53:45and you plant new flowers.
00:53:47I won't forget.
00:53:49I won't.
00:54:03This is the Benson family's property.
00:54:06Who told you you could just tear it apart?
00:54:09It was Mrs Amy Benson's orders.
00:54:13Amy.
00:54:19Who told you you could touch my mum's garden?
00:54:23Well, Kathleen's been having pregnancy cravings,
00:54:26and she wanted oranges.
00:54:29I thought that spot there would be the best place to grow them there for her.
00:54:32That's my mum's space.
00:54:34And?
00:54:37She's gone now.
00:54:40And those flowers are just sitting there.
00:54:42No one to enjoy them. What a waste.
00:54:45It's better to clear them away and grow orange trees for everyone.
00:54:49Yeah, sis. Homegrown oranges just taste way better.
00:54:55You're a homewrecker.
00:54:57Who told you you could touch any of the Benson family's stuff?
00:55:00Fix the garden now!
00:55:02That's enough.
00:55:04Let go of her.
00:55:06Amy's your mother too,
00:55:08so show a little respect for your elders.
00:55:12Destroy the garden!
00:55:14No, I said it was fine.
00:55:17It's just a garden.
00:55:20It's our land.
00:55:22Don't interrupt.
00:55:29Kathleen is soon to become a palmer,
00:55:32and Grandpa really cares about that.
00:55:36And when Kathleen marries Andrew and has a kid to inherit the Benson estate,
00:55:43you won't be part of this family anymore.
00:55:59Why the sudden invites?
00:56:01Did you miss me?
00:56:04Hey. What's wrong?
00:56:07Don't ask.
00:56:13Just let me stay close a while.
00:56:16Okay. You don't need to say anything.
00:56:23Huh. Looks like the power's gone.
00:56:30I'll check it out, okay?
00:56:32Don't leave.
00:56:34Okay. I'll stick around.
00:56:36So, you're scared of the dark.
00:56:40My mum died when I was little.
00:56:43I'm a bit scared of the dark.
00:56:46You're not?
00:56:48I'm not.
00:56:50You're not?
00:56:52I'm not.
00:56:54I'm not.
00:56:56You're not?
00:56:58I'm not.
00:57:00I'm not.
00:57:02I'm not.
00:57:04My mum died when I was little,
00:57:07and my dad married my stepmum, Amy.
00:57:11And one day when Dad was away,
00:57:14she locked me in a tiny, dark closet for two whole days.
00:57:21I'm sorry, Grandpa. I didn't mean to take care of you.
00:57:24When Mum died, no one really looked after me.
00:57:28But eventually, I did learn how to protect myself.
00:57:34I had to get strong so no one could push me around.
00:57:37Well, from now on, I'll protect you.
00:57:39You.
00:57:42You don't trust me.
00:57:46Alright.
00:57:48Believe anything you say.
00:57:51How am I supposed to take an escort's promise seriously?
00:57:56BELL RINGS
00:58:00It's coming. Don't worry.
00:58:04Why is there a crowd here?
00:58:06Oh, they're friends and relatives from my side of the family.
00:58:10We're here to get over the plans for Kathleen and Xander's wedding.
00:58:14A wedding?
00:58:16I haven't been told yet.
00:58:19Mrs Palmer's coming round soon
00:58:22Well, it's coming round soon to discuss the marriage.
00:58:30Clare, be sure to smile. Be polite.
00:58:33And don't say anything bad in front of Mrs Palmer.
00:58:38Mrs Palmer's coming round.
00:58:43Mrs Palmer's coming round.
00:58:45Yes, Xander. You spoke to Mrs Palmer.
00:58:48She forgave us and she's offered to come over and talk about the wedding.
00:58:52She did mention that to you, right?
00:58:55Yeah. Yeah, of course.
00:58:57What the hell? When did I ever say anything nice?
00:59:00This doesn't matter.
00:59:02Mrs Palmer must really care about Xander.
00:59:04I mean, she's made time with her busy schedule to come here in person and discuss the wedding with us.
00:59:08It's wonderful.
00:59:10The Palmers are super exclusive.
00:59:12I mean, I'm so lucky to know Kathleen and to be able to meet Mrs Palmer in person.
00:59:17When Xander and I are married, I'll make sure that you go round to the Palmer residence all the time.
00:59:24Oh, Kathleen, I've just remembered there's something I've left unfinished in the office.
00:59:28I must go right away.
00:59:31Xander, you must make time for your own wedding.
00:59:37Yeah, of course.
00:59:39On that note, actually, I have a small favour to ask you.
00:59:43My sister would really love an internship at Palmer Corp.
00:59:51Well...
00:59:59I'm sure there's something that Xander could do.
01:00:02Thank you so much, Kathleen.
01:00:05Yes, well, funny, actually, I've also got a little favour I'd love to discuss and we...
01:00:11Mrs Palmer has arrived.
01:00:16Mr Palmer, you may leave.
01:00:21That's him! Grab him!
01:00:26That's him! Grab him!
01:00:33Mrs Palmer, what's going on? What's the meaning of this?
01:00:38Xander is your grand-nephew.
01:00:40Grand-nephew? I'd really love to know when we got a relative like that.
01:00:46What? That's crazy. Are you saying he's not a Palmer?
01:00:55If he's not a Palmer, then who is he?
01:01:00Xander is the son of the Palmer family's driver.
01:01:05Uh-huh.
01:01:09No.
01:01:12No.
01:01:15Oh, no. No, wait.
01:01:18Sorry, you're being arrested for fraud and information. Come with us, please.
01:01:22Madam, I can explain. This is a misunderstanding.
01:01:25Kathleen, honey, do something!
01:01:27I don't even know who you are!
01:01:29Exactly! Our Kathleen would never be involved with a scammer!
01:01:34Listen, we thought you'd married into wealth, but clearly you're with a fraud and, uh...
01:01:38I'm taking my jewellery back.
01:01:40Yeah, me too!
01:01:55Sorry, family has to stay out here.
01:01:59Look.
01:02:02What? Can you not even handle a little hospital smile?
01:02:07My period's late. Could it be?
01:02:10Congratulations, Claire. By the looks of this, you're about four weeks pregnant.
01:02:16I'm having a baby?
01:02:18Yes.
01:02:20Should I let him know?
01:02:24It's just a sperm donation. Don't make it a big deal.
01:02:30Kathleen, your grandpa is still in ER.
01:02:34When did you leave?
01:02:36I was just in a bit of pain, so I just went for a check-up.
01:02:40What's wrong? Are you okay?
01:02:42This is our only shot at keeping the family legacy.
01:02:45I'm okay, yeah. Don't worry too much.
01:02:49How did you get out?
01:02:51My dad took out a loan and bailed me out.
01:02:53If I don't pay it back within a month, I'm looking...
01:02:55I'm looking at fraud charges.
01:02:57What's that got to do with me?
01:02:58Well, you spent the money as well. I don't actually think you're not involved, Kathleen.
01:03:01What do you really want, Sander?
01:03:04I need money.
01:03:06Big millions.
01:03:08Well, if I had some, I would give you big millions.
01:03:11I don't need big millions.
01:03:13I need money.
01:03:16Well, if I had some, I would give you...
01:03:20No, that makes no sense.
01:03:22Be quiet!
01:03:28Take this for now.
01:03:30But if you tell anyone anything, you will regret it.
01:03:46The patient had a heart attack.
01:03:48His emotions are all over the place.
01:03:50As family, you have to keep him calm and avoid stressing him out.
01:03:58This is all Sander's fault.
01:04:03Grandpa, are you alright?
01:04:05I'm okay.
01:04:07I thought if Kathleen...
01:04:09I'm okay.
01:04:11I thought if Kathleen...
01:04:13I thought if Kathleen married a Palmer, they'd work with us.
01:04:19Everything would be, you know, okay.
01:04:22But now, it's nothing but doom.
01:04:26Tom, even if Kathleen didn't marry a Palmer, we've still got other projects to focus on.
01:04:32Well, the company is not doing very well financially and we're running out of funds.
01:04:39How can that be, when the Benson Group is huge?
01:04:43How can it just fall apart?
01:04:45The company has been in trouble for quite a while.
01:04:49And I thought if we hurried it up and teamed with the Palmers,
01:04:54then everything would be okay.
01:04:58Get out of this mess.
01:05:02Elliot has money.
01:05:05Maybe, maybe he could help us.
01:05:10Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:05:13I wasn't completely honest.
01:05:16Elliot doesn't have money.
01:05:18What?
01:05:20Oh, you're a liar.
01:05:22I always knew he came from a poor background.
01:05:25Enough of this arguing.
01:05:28Enough of this arguing.
01:05:30Another scenario.
01:05:32If we marry into the Jenkins family...
01:05:38I heard that Liam Jenkins is a player and has a bunch of girlfriends.
01:05:44I don't want to marry someone like that.
01:05:47Well, okay, you don't have to marry him if you don't want to.
01:05:51Let Claire marry him.
01:06:00Alright, fine.
01:06:02Grandpa, I will marry him.
01:06:07I will marry him.
01:06:09The Benton Group is my mum's legacy.
01:06:11I can't let our efforts go to waste, no matter what it takes.
01:06:15You're really married, are you?
01:06:19Well, you're doing a great thing for the family.
01:06:27It's tough on you.
01:06:38Why do you look so serious?
01:06:41Is there something on your mind?
01:06:45Check out this confidentiality agreement.
01:06:48Confidentiality agreement?
01:06:51Just some things to remember after we break up.
01:06:57You want to break up with me?
01:06:59Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're well taken care of.
01:07:02Do you think I care about that?
01:07:04Don't forget the deal.
01:07:06I'm the one backing you up.
01:07:08Well, at least tell me why.
01:07:09It's not a reason.
01:07:13I've always been the one running this relationship.
01:07:15I can end it whenever I feel like it.
01:07:20I thought we had something real.
01:07:26There's something wrong.
01:07:35So, you're Claire.
01:07:37Hi.
01:07:38I didn't expect you to be so good looking.
01:07:40Perhaps this arranged marriage thing won't work out so bad after all.
01:07:43Aren't we here to discuss business?
01:07:45Please, I doubt you're interested in any of that.
01:07:47Let's focus on us.
01:07:49Sure, go on.
01:07:51I'm not interested in you.
01:07:53I'm not interested in you.
01:07:55I'm not interested in you.
01:07:57I'm not interested in you.
01:07:59I'm not interested in you.
01:08:01I'm not interested in you.
01:08:03Go on.
01:08:04Well, firstly, you should know that this marriage is an agreement between our families.
01:08:08Don't expect me to fall for you.
01:08:10That's not a concern.
01:08:12Secondly, once we are married, we agree to keep out of each other's business.
01:08:17That's fine by me.
01:08:19I won't interfere with your life.
01:08:21There's something you should know, Mr Jenkins.
01:08:24Go ahead.
01:08:28I'm pregnant.
01:08:31Relax, the father's not in the picture.
01:08:34And I'm guessing with all the kids you have running around, you wouldn't mind having another with me, would you?
01:08:40Miss Benson, you are as bold as the gossip says.
01:08:44Perhaps we will have some fun together down the line.
01:08:46Though I could never keep up with your wild side, Mr Jenkins.
01:08:50Let's just stick to our separate lives.
01:08:54So that's why you're leaving me.
01:09:02Boss, the engagement parties for the Jenkins and Benson families are scheduled for next week.
01:09:08Also, I've checked the hospital records.
01:09:11Miss Benson is four weeks pregnant.
01:09:16She's carrying my baby.
01:09:20She's carrying my baby.
01:09:23I need to marry someone else.
01:09:38Mr Jenkins and Miss Benson, you two are perfect together. Here's to you both.
01:09:43Thank you, Miss Reyes.
01:09:46Miss Flores, this is another one of your business contacts.
01:09:50She is. And more than just business.
01:09:54You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity.
01:09:58I've also invited Mr Palmer. You know him, right?
01:10:02Elliot Palmer, yes. He's a pervert.
01:10:05How can you say that? If he actually turns up, it won't just be an honour, it would make working with other companies a breeze.
01:10:15Don't get your hopes up. Elliot's the richest guy around. He doesn't show up to just any party.
01:10:20Kathleen, remind me. Who was it that upset Mrs Palmer and got thrown out of her restaurant?
01:10:26Who also pretended to be part of the family?
01:10:29If Elliot doesn't show up, it's because you upset Mrs Palmer.
01:10:33So what? Let me tell you something.
01:10:36If you think Elliot's showing up to this party, you're dreaming.
01:10:40Why don't you take a look at yourself and see if you're even worth it?
01:10:45Mr Jenkins, Miss Benson, Mr Palmer is here.
01:11:15Mr Palmer, I didn't expect to see you.
01:11:19Elliot? Is he the Palmer Elliot?
01:11:24Don't be frozen, dear. Say hello to Mr Palmer.
01:11:28Mr Palmer, hello.
01:11:30Miss Benson, I'm surprised to hear about your engagement.
01:11:36I had to see it for myself.
01:11:38Wait, Mr Palmer, Claire, you two know each other?
01:11:41Well, that is great. Honey, where's Elliot?
01:11:44Honey, you're ready.
01:11:47Um, we've run into each other a couple of times. For business.
01:11:52I wouldn't say we're close.
01:11:56Well, it is an honour to have you here, Mr Palmer. It really does mean a lot.
01:12:00Is the Palmer group involved with the Jenkins family business?
01:12:04Yes. What a fantastic memory you have, Mr Palmer.
01:12:07Yes, that's a project we started working on eight months ago.
01:12:11And I'm managing that one personally.
01:12:13Okay, good.
01:12:16Well, how about we end that partnership here?
01:12:20Excuse me? What did you say?
01:12:23The Palmer group is cutting ties with the Jenkins family immediately.
01:12:26No future deals.
01:12:28Can you at least tell me why? What did I do wrong? I can fix this.
01:12:31Wrong?
01:12:33Probably talk to your fiancé about that.
01:12:38What have you done to upset Mr Palmer? Apologise at once.
01:12:43I misunderstood the situation. I see that now. Please don't hold it against me.
01:12:48Don't hold it against you?
01:12:51But you think this sorry excuse for an apology will fix this?
01:12:55Claire's not one for words. Don't take it personally, Mr Palmer.
01:12:59If there's anything that we can do to set it right, just let us know.
01:13:02We'll do our best to fix this.
01:13:05Okay, fine.
01:13:11If you're truly sorry,
01:13:17we'll drink these.
01:13:19Then maybe I'll consider forgiving you.
01:13:23Just do as Mr Palmer says.
01:13:26I'm pregnant. I can't drink.
01:13:29What? You want to stop the Benson group from going under? I need you to cooperate.
01:13:39Mr Palmer, I raise my glass to you.
01:13:48You risked your baby's life for this clown.
01:13:51How did you know?
01:13:52I wish I had known sooner.
01:13:54What is going on here? What's happening between the two of you?
01:13:56No, nothing is going on.
01:13:58Then whose baby is it?
01:14:07Fine. If you won't say it, I will.
01:14:11Liam, your future wife is the mother of my child.
01:14:19Wow, can you believe it? That Benson's daughter is pregnant with Mr Palmer's baby
01:14:23and is about to marry into the Jenkins family.
01:14:26This is such a disaster.
01:14:28Is Mr Palmer here to stop the wedding?
01:14:30What is the Benson family thinking?
01:14:32Anyone with any sense would pick the Palmers over the Jenkins.
01:14:46Claire, why are you always the lucky one?
01:14:53Wait, what do you really want?
01:14:55Is it fun for you to mess with me like this?
01:14:57Messing with you? You're the one messing with me.
01:15:02Can't I just say I was wrong and go, I mean, give me a break, just let me leave?
01:15:05Let you leave? Sorry, do you really think Liam will still marry you if you go back now?
01:15:10If you went on marrying Liam, do you think I'll just back off from the Jenkins and Benson families?
01:15:14I'm doing what I must. Don't interfere.
01:15:18You won't marry Liam because you want to restore the...
01:15:20Yes, so what if I am?
01:15:21If it's about saving the Benson group, I can help with that.
01:15:25What do you mean by that?
01:15:26Claire, I can help rescue the Benson group from this mess, but you need to dump Liam and marry me.
01:15:41Marry you?
01:15:42You can't save the Benson group with Liam anymore.
01:15:44If you marry me, I can help you get through this whole mess.
01:15:53I want your help, but you have yet to show me your true colours.
01:15:57You just keep leading me on and now you want to marry me.
01:16:02What, am I supposed to just jump at whatever you say?
01:16:04No, that's not what I meant.
01:16:08But this child should have a father too.
01:16:11Let me tell you, I don't care who the dad is. I never wanted a father from the start.
01:16:15This is just a big misunderstanding and you know why I was choosing a guy for Hull.
01:16:20Don't flatter yourself.
01:16:28So everything we had meant nothing to you?
01:16:35Fine.
01:16:38Whatever.
01:16:42Why can't I just say what I feel? Why do I always end up fighting with him?
01:16:59Mrs Palmer!
01:17:01Claire, I know everything about you and Elliot.
01:17:06From the moment I first set eyes on you, I've been wishing that you and Elliot would be together.
01:17:12He and I?
01:17:16Did you two have an argument?
01:17:21If you're feeling upset, just tell me and I'll take care of it.
01:17:27I said some really horrible things.
01:17:30We all have our moments. Don't stress about it.
01:17:43It's not a big deal. Just go inside and apologise.
01:17:49The person is here now. Whatever needs to be said has been said.
01:17:52I knew she was in trouble straight away.
01:17:54She thinks just because she's pregnant, she can behave however she wants.
01:17:59Pregnant? Are they talking about me?
01:18:03Is this what you think of me, Elliot? I was just trying to apologise.
01:18:11What do you think our next move should be?
01:18:13I think we should keep it on the wraps for now and just tell Claire about it.
01:18:17You won't say it, but I know inside you're still cheering for Claire.
01:18:22You could cheer for her.
01:18:25Grandfather, I'm sorry for ruining the engagement party.
01:18:31There's no need to be sorry.
01:18:34I just want you to be happy and marry someone you truly love.
01:18:41Claire, you've been messing with us the whole time.
01:18:44Mr Palmer can totally save the Benson Group. You didn't need Liam for that.
01:18:49Elliot is already putting money into the Benson Group.
01:18:54Well, when did that happen? He didn't tell me that.
01:18:57And he's also going to have a look at our financial details.
01:19:04Cassie, are you okay?
01:19:11I'm okay.
01:19:13Now you two are pregnant.
01:19:15Now you two are pregnant.
01:19:18I'm really looking forward to seeing my grandchildren.
01:19:33Claire, I know that we've had our misunderstandings,
01:19:38but I just really want to say today in front of Grandpa that I really am sorry.
01:19:49There you are, Claire. You two should be watching each other's backs.
01:19:56What did you do?
01:19:59There's something I need to show you.
01:20:03There you are, Claire. Have a look.
01:20:09There you are.
01:20:16Just tell me what you want to show me.
01:20:19What I need to show you is...
01:20:27Elliot!
01:20:29Now it's your turn to pay.
01:20:31Now it's your turn to pay.
01:20:37Grandma, where's Claire?
01:20:40Claire had something to do. Went home.
01:20:43I'll go and look for her.
01:20:47Elliot still cares about Claire.
01:20:50Kathleen, what kind of crazy is this?
01:20:53It's all your fault, Claire.
01:20:56I was supposed to inherit the Benson family business.
01:20:59And I was meant to marry into the Palmer family.
01:21:03You've fucked up my whole life.
01:21:06Kathleen, you brought that on yourself. How is any of this my fault?
01:21:09If you hadn't gotten in the way.
01:21:13Kathleen, let me out of here. You can't just keep me in here.
01:21:17What's the rush?
01:21:19We're just getting started.
01:21:21What?
01:21:27Open the door. Open the door. Open the door.
01:21:30Who'd have thought that the great Miss Benson would be scared of the dark?
01:21:35I'd love to see your face right now. He's shaking in fear.
01:21:41Kathleen, don't take this too far.
01:21:44If Grandpa finds out...
01:21:46Then I'll just make sure that he doesn't find out.
01:21:49Aren't you the one who's always so amazing?
01:21:52Don't you just love to be the centre of attention?
01:21:56Do people know that you can be this pathetic?
01:22:02There's no one that will protect you.
01:22:09I will.
01:22:12Will.
01:22:14Elliot.
01:22:18Stop dreaming. You still think he's coming to rescue you?
01:22:23Just give me the family inheritance and I'll think about letting you out.
01:22:37What's wrong with you?
01:22:41Don't worry.
01:22:48Kathleen, if anything's happened to Claire or the baby, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
01:23:07What's going on here?
01:23:10What's happening?
01:23:11I was just trying to make up with my sister and she said that she's the only one that loves the inheritance and then she knocked me down.
01:23:22How could you be so cruel? What if something happened to your sister and the baby?
01:23:27No, no. It wasn't my fault. It was her fault.
01:23:30Mum, Grandpa, is the baby going to be okay?
01:23:35Claire just really wants the family business and she can have my shed
01:23:38as long as she lets me and my baby be safe.
01:23:42Claire, when will this stop? Tom, you saw what happened.
01:23:46You have to stop this madness.
01:23:48I can't believe this.
01:23:57What is it you find so amusing, Mr Palmer?
01:24:00I'm just admiring Kathleen's little formance.
01:24:04How can you lose a baby when you're not even pregnant?
01:24:09What do you mean she's not pregnant?
01:24:12I'll give you proof.
01:24:14Sandra!
01:24:18What is this scammer doing here?
01:24:21Kathleen, there's only 30 grand left in this account. How do I possibly pay off my debts with only that?
01:24:25Sandra, what's going on?
01:24:28Kathleen says she's pregnant.
01:24:30Is that true? Having a baby? Kathleen can't even have kids.
01:24:34Having a baby? Kathleen can't even have kids.
01:24:37The whole pregnancy thing was just a bloody trick to grab control of the Benson Group.
01:24:41Sandra!
01:24:43Grandpa, how can you believe this liar?
01:24:46Infantilogy?
01:24:48Exactly. Kathleen can't even have babies.
01:24:50And she knows exactly what's going on with the Benson family's money, don't she?
01:24:55What does the Benson Group have to do with Kathleen?
01:24:58Has it been Kathleen's plan all along?
01:25:00Tom, your beloved granddaughter, she's been trading money from the Benson Company all along.
01:25:06Kathleen, I'm disgusted at you.
01:25:11I can't have a child.
01:25:14You said that whoever had a child first would get the business. What am I supposed to do?
01:25:22That's enough.
01:25:25Miss Kathleen Burson, come here with us.
01:25:27Come here with us.
01:25:29Mummy!
01:25:31No!
01:25:33Mummy!
01:25:40Sweetheart, I've heard it all. How do you feel? Are you okay?
01:25:46Yeah, I feel shaken up, but I'm fine.
01:25:49Well, don't stress. Kathleen's already locked up. She can't hurt you anymore.
01:25:54I knew it. There's definitely something going on between Claire and Elliot.
01:25:59Yes. Yes, you were right.
01:26:02When Elliot turns up, if he doesn't treat you right, I'll make sure he does.
01:26:24What are you waiting for, an invitation?
01:26:27Look, I get that you're mad at me and probably don't want to hear my apology, but I need to say I'm sorry.
01:26:34Is that all? You have nothing else you want to say to me?
01:26:38Wait, to me?
01:26:41Well, I think every kid deserves a dad, so if you're not up for it...
01:26:45I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:26:55Hey, everyone! Give her some space! Give her some space!
01:26:59We heard you got engaged but then broke it off with Mr Jenkins. What's going on?
01:27:03Miss Benson, the Benson group was on the verge of collapse but then bounced back overnight. How did that happen?
01:27:08There are rumours that your sister has been arrested. Do you have anything to say about that?
01:27:12Come on, guys! Keep the questions relevant!
01:27:15I'm here today for one important announcement.
01:27:18Starting now, I am the CEO of the Benson Group.
01:27:21I'll work hard to restore the Benson Group's business to what it used to be.
01:27:25There are rumours that Mr Benson has really strict rules about his inheritance. How did you meet those requirements?
01:27:30What's your connection with Elliot Palmer, the CEO of Palmer Group?
01:27:34Oh, that's the other bit of information I wanted to share.
01:27:40Is that Elliot Palmer?
01:27:43Elliot Palmer?
01:27:45Is that Elliot Palmer?
01:27:48The one who never shows up in public?
01:27:51Let me introduce you to him. This is my husband.
01:27:55And the father of my child.
01:28:15It's good to know that I can make it through alright.
01:28:23Well, from now on, I'll protect you.
01:28:26I don't need a lot as long as I have you.
01:28:36Ain't nothing better than you.
