00:00:00I'll give you the light of the moon, and a ship to sail across the ocean, come join me soon, I'll be waiting, I'm waiting, but don't make me wait too long, I'll give you the colors of the rain.
00:00:30Again?
00:00:38Miss Montgomery, we've fallen on hard times at Montgomery Group, and I can't shoulder the load alone. We really need you to come back as CEO and take control of everything again.
00:00:47Please come back, Miss Montgomery. The company needs you.
00:00:50I'm sure you are more than capable of riding the ship on your own.
00:00:54Right now I'm focused on being Milo's wife.
00:00:57And he doesn't know who I am yet. I need to stay here and help him fulfill his entrepreneurial dreams.
00:01:06Why not just personally invest a billion dollars in your husband's company? That would solve everything.
00:01:12No, no. He's too proud for that. He'll feel inferior if I reveal my identity.
00:01:19That reminds me, are you guys all ready for the gala tonight?
00:01:24Yes, ma'am.
00:01:25Yes, ma'am. Ecologic CEO Kane Hudson will be there to announce his billion dollar investment in your husband's research.
00:01:33Good. Oh, and don't ask me again.
00:01:55Oh.
00:02:08OK, roses. She must be the bride from find a wife dot com.
00:02:12If I can just marry her, Grandpa will finally stop trying to play matchmaker for me.
00:02:21It's nice to meet you. Kane Hudson.
00:02:25Now, you know the deeds. Stanford grad, founder of the new energy tech company Ecologics.
00:02:31Thirty billion dollar net worth. Wait, that's Kane.
00:02:37He's actually kind of hot. Claire, no degree.
00:02:41Front desk reception at this hotel. Sixteen dollars an hour.
00:02:46I work at the front desk here. There's something wrong with that.
00:02:51Whatever. As long as it stops my grandpa from nagging, I'll marry anything with a heart.
00:02:57Oh, come on. Let's go tie the knot. Tie the knot.
00:03:03As in you and me. Well, if we go right now to the clerk's office, I should be able to make it for tonight's gala.
00:03:14Look, whatever this is, it's not happening. I'm married happily.
00:03:24Wait, am I not paying you enough? Fine.
00:03:27If you promise to marry me, I'll transfer a million dollars into your bank account right now.
00:03:34That kind of money.
00:03:40Balls, we're in deep shit. A war just broke out overseas. One of our top suppliers has cut off all our exports.
00:03:47There will be huge losses if we can't deliver our new energy products on time.
00:03:52OK, I want you to resell all of our current money making projects at a low price.
00:03:56I want you to buy all the materials at a high cost from other companies.
00:03:59Even if we don't make any money, we have to deliver on time.
00:04:03Hold up. I just got word that in about ten minutes, multiple countries will be announcing the discovery of new first class raw materials.
00:04:17Soon you'll have both cheap and high quality materials to use.
00:04:21And where would a hotel receptionist get their hands on this highly classified information?
00:04:27Well, I guess you'll just have to wait ten minutes and find out.
00:04:30Scratch what I just said. We'll reassess in ten minutes.
00:04:35If I lose money on this, you're going to wish you kept that mouth shut.
00:04:41Well, then it's a good thing I need something from you. Otherwise, I'd just laugh at your company's downfall.
00:04:50Claire, oh my god, I have some good news for you.
00:04:59Hit me.
00:05:00Milo booked the most expensive suite in the entire hotel.
00:05:03He asked me to decorate the floor with roses and decorate the entire room with candles.
00:05:09I'm telling you, you have a surprise waiting.
00:05:12He remembered our three year anniversary?
00:05:14What's the room number?
00:05:18Fine.
00:05:23The check out time on this room is eleven thirty.
00:05:31Why didn't he invite me up sooner?
00:05:34Maybe he's still asleep?
00:05:37I'll go check.
00:05:48I...
00:06:00Milo, is this that receptionist wife of yours?
00:06:04She could learn a thing or two about skin care. She looks all saggy and gross.
00:06:08Of course she can't compare to you, my dear. She's basically a free housemaid.
00:06:13Skin care would be above her pay grade. Come on, let's go.
00:06:20You owe me an explanation.
00:06:25Just look at the facts, Claire. I'm a VIP guest here and you're nothing but a lowly receptionist.
00:06:30Need I say more?
00:06:32You really booked a room with this woman on our three year anniversary?
00:06:39Do our wedding vows mean nothing to you?
00:06:42That's just some shit we said three years ago.
00:06:44I never would have married you if you hadn't promised to take care of me when I was dead broke.
00:06:48Milo, only an idiot like you would fall for someone so repulsive.
00:06:52Look, I was young and naive. Plus, we'll be divorced soon.
00:06:59Did you just say divorced?
00:07:01You heard me. I'm over you.
00:07:04I get depressed just thinking about coming home to your wrinkly face.
00:07:07Now that I've made it big, I can bag any tent I want.
00:07:10Why would I waste my time with a whore like you?
00:07:18Tony, talk to me.
00:07:20Boss, several countries have just discovered a rich supply of first class raw materials and are going to export them overseas. We're saved.
00:07:28Ten minutes, just like she said.
00:07:30How the hell did she know this?
00:07:32Okay, Tony, I need you to look into somebody.
00:07:36I gave up a comfortable life for you.
00:07:40I sacrificed so much and this, this is how you repay me?
00:07:46I'm the only reason you live in a luxury apartment. Without me, you'd be scraping by in some shithole slum.
00:07:52Milo is a giant in the medical world. His blood testing for cancer is nearing a breakthrough.
00:07:58And once he succeeds, he'll be saving millions of lives.
00:08:01A desk worker like you doesn't belong in his circle.
00:08:04Yeah, you hear that? Peasants don't mingle with the social elite.
00:08:08Stella, however, is perfect for a guy of my status.
00:08:12Seriously? I paid for all of your daily expenses so that you could finish your research.
00:08:20I ran around finding you investments and networking.
00:08:25To this day, all of your achievements are due to my generosity.
00:08:31I mean, if anything, the real peasant is you.
00:08:35You think you can take credit for everything? I got to where I am on my own talent and perseverance.
00:08:40The only thing you helped me with was housework.
00:08:49Milo, watch what you say to her.
00:08:51Do you really enjoy spending your time with these lowlifes?
00:08:54Stella over here is on good terms with top employee Tony at Ecologics.
00:08:59She secured me a billion dollar investment. It's more than you could ever dream of doing for me.
00:09:04I am the one who told Mr. Hudson to give you that money.
00:09:09I am the one who planned the gala for tonight where he will be announcing his investment.
00:09:16Otherwise, Cain would have never given you the time of day.
00:09:21Are we talking about the same Cain Hudson here? The man is a god in the new energy industry.
00:09:25He makes more in ten minutes than you do in ten lifetimes.
00:09:28Why the hell would he listen to you?
00:09:31Miles, if you would have let me, I could have turned you into a god of your own.
00:09:38This is your loss.
00:09:41Why are you so bitter? Let me guess, you're after my money?
00:09:47Here, there's 50,000 on this bank card.
00:09:58Consider it your salary for the last three years of housekeeping.
00:10:01And from this day on, you're no longer my wife.
00:10:0550 grand. Everything that I've done for you is only worth 50 grand.
00:10:13If you're going to get greedy and try and negotiate, I won't give you anything. I only did it because I pity you.
00:10:19I make more money than this in my sleep.
00:10:24You crazy bitch.
00:10:26Yeah, I am crazy. Crazy for wasting my time with you.
00:10:33Milo, I am taking back everything that I've given you, which is worth a million dollars.
00:10:40You're going to have to pay me back.
00:10:44You're going to have to pay me back.
00:10:46Milo, I am taking back everything that I've given you, which, if I do remember correctly,
00:10:54is literally everything you have.
00:10:58Your empty threats aren't going to make me stay with you.
00:11:05This is yours now.
00:11:09I'll tell you the full truth at the gala.
00:11:13I hope you won't regret anything.
00:11:16Regrets?
00:11:18Divorcing you is the greatest decision I ever made in my whole life!
00:11:21Baby, enough chit-chatting with this blue-collar trash.
00:11:26Let's go buy you a new outfit for the gala.
00:11:29That's a great idea.
00:11:31Let's go.
00:11:35Claire, forget about those assholes.
00:11:38Yeah, no, I'm... I'm fine.
00:11:42Go ahead and get back to work.
00:11:49If you want, I can cancel the gala and run your ex's knife.
00:11:57You've worked really, really hard to accomplish this.
00:12:03I would hate to cancel the gala because of my relationship drama.
00:12:09Collaborating with Montgomery Group was a big dream of mine.
00:12:13But you helped me out of a serious pickle, like it or not.
00:12:17I owe you one.
00:12:19Milo is one of Montgomery's key investments.
00:12:23Canceling the gala will not sit well with him.
00:12:26I researched his so-called blood test for cancer.
00:12:31He's lacking reliable scientific data.
00:12:36Sounds like a well-programmed pseudoscience.
00:12:39I suspect that he's going to use this to swindle investment funds.
00:12:44And what exactly do you plan to do about that?
00:12:49I want you to marry me.
00:12:52Then we can announce publicly at the gala.
00:12:55And you can tell everyone about Montgomery
00:12:58and how they're not going to invest with Milo anymore.
00:13:01I'm sure he'd love that. And his mistress.
00:13:04You're not going to sweep me off my feet by proposing like that.
00:13:13Oh, and for tonight's gala, I'm the one calling the shots.
00:13:24How about this?
00:13:26You stick by my side at the gala, follow my orders.
00:13:30If you do a good job, I might help you.
00:13:34Do you know who I am?
00:13:36If anything, I should be helping you out.
00:13:38Well, you are very impressive.
00:13:41But you and I are not on the same level.
00:13:44Well, let's see then.
00:13:47I'm curious what kind of help you want to give me.
00:14:04Oh, hey. Come on. I can take you home.
00:14:07Thank you, but I'm okay.
00:14:10I have some private matters to attend to.
00:14:12You know, you'll be my passenger princess sooner or later.
00:14:23Didn't my son dump you?
00:14:26If you're here trying to get him back, bother.
00:14:30I just came to grab a few things.
00:14:34Here.
00:14:37While we're at it, you can have Milo sign those.
00:14:40You're just in time. We're about to throw your crap in the trash.
00:14:56There.
00:15:00The agreement's signed and you have your stuff.
00:15:03Now get out and never come back.
00:15:15Yep.
00:15:17Yeah, there's 20.
00:15:19Bye-bye.
00:15:21Boss, I found some information on that woman.
00:15:24Her name's Claire Montgomery.
00:15:27Montgomery?
00:15:29Yeah. She's not with the Montgomery group.
00:15:31Just happens to have the same last name.
00:15:33An ordinary receptionist is going up against Milo Preston?
00:15:37She's got some guts. I'll give her that.
00:15:40Get the car. We're going to see her.
00:15:44You break my things,
00:15:46and you're going to break your bank, too, trying to pay me back.
00:15:52It's just a bunch of cheap stuff anyway.
00:15:54Who cares if it breaks?
00:15:59Give me the necklace.
00:16:01Fat chance.
00:16:03It looks way better on me.
00:16:05And someone in your line of business can't afford such expensive things.
00:16:10You must have stolen from us. You have bought it.
00:16:14I bought that necklace with my own money.
00:16:16Oh, the hell you did.
00:16:18I could spend your entire monthly salary just in the hands of that woman.
00:16:25I could spend your entire monthly salary just in the hair salon.
00:16:30There's no way that you bought it.
00:16:32Tell me,
00:16:34did you really take our money, Claire?
00:16:36Wouldn't you like to know?
00:16:38Look, just give me back the necklace.
00:16:42I will not ask nicely next time.
00:16:48If you want it, take it.
00:16:55To your hands off my sister, you human villain.
00:17:17Claire.
00:17:20If anybody hurts her, I'll break their wrist.
00:17:23Wow. Well, look what Claire found.
00:17:26I guess this explains her newfound confidence.
00:17:29But then again, once a whore, always a whore.
00:17:33Tony, shut her up.
00:17:35Open your mouth one more time and I'll shut it for you.
00:17:39You're banging this guy in exchange for protection?
00:17:42Gross.
00:17:46I need my necklace.
00:17:53I need my necklace.
00:17:56Ahem.
00:18:20Thank you for driving me home.
00:18:23I'll see you tonight.
00:18:25Wait.
00:18:31Oh, I could do it.
00:18:34Don't move.
00:18:48Let me drive you to the gala tonight.
00:18:50I have a ride.
00:19:01Boss, you know I can't find any other information on her.
00:19:07I make more money than this in my sleep.
00:19:10I just got word that in about ten minutes...
00:19:14Ten minutes, just like she said.
00:19:16I need my necklace.
00:19:19If she's wearing jewelry like that and she's able to predict the discovery of new raw materials...
00:19:23She's not just an ordinary woman.
00:19:25Keep looking.
00:19:27I gotta know who she is.
00:19:29Got it, boss.
00:19:43Good to see you, Ms. Montgomery.
00:19:45From this day forward...
00:19:48I'll be retaking control of Montgomery.
00:19:51Then should we cancel the gala?
00:19:53No.
00:19:54I want to see the look on Milo's face when he realizes what he's done.
00:19:59I wasted too much time on that greasy little bitch.
00:20:03It's time for me to become Claire Montgomery again.
00:20:09Yeah, and of course, the scuba diving is lovely there, but...
00:20:12I'm not gonna vacation in the same place twice.
00:20:14Mr. Preston, congrats on the investment from Ecologic.
00:20:17This will be a game changer for your cancer testing research.
00:20:19Yeah, I mean, Ecologics is the world's leading new energy company.
00:20:23What's their output?
00:20:25Ten billion a year?
00:20:27With Mr. Hudson's backing, you've got a bright future ahead of you.
00:20:31I appreciate your support.
00:20:33Everyone here played a role in this achievement.
00:20:36We celebrate together.
00:20:39Hey, is it true that you got divorced?
00:20:43It is.
00:20:45And if his ex-wife hadn't been holding him back for three years,
00:20:49this day would have come a whole lot sooner.
00:20:52Not going anywhere in her life.
00:20:54She wasn't worth a second of my love.
00:20:56I consider divorcing her a step in the direction of success.
00:21:01Now you got me curious about her.
00:21:03What does she look like?
00:21:05Don't get your hopes up.
00:21:08It's actually hilarious how ugly she is.
00:21:13Milo.
00:21:16Wake up!
00:21:36Hello, skank.
00:21:37This is a private gala.
00:21:39And guess what? You're not allowed.
00:21:42Excuse me?
00:21:43And where does it say that I can't be here?
00:21:46Claire, we're over.
00:21:48Just leave me alone.
00:21:50If you had any self-awareness, you would know how sad it looks trying to get me back.
00:21:53The only thing sad is you, naked with the light on.
00:21:58I'm here to show these people what a fucking fraud you are.
00:22:06How dare you insult my son!
00:22:12Milo is well-packaged.
00:22:20You absolutely reek of poverty.
00:22:27That weak little slap is nothing compared to the pain I'm going to make you feel.
00:22:35Your threats mean nothing to us.
00:22:38And the people here? We're movers and shakers.
00:22:41That guy that you're banging ain't going to give you any help.
00:22:45Are you trying to get slapped too?
00:22:49Where's your sugar daddy, Claire?
00:22:52I bet you thought he was going to come here and save you.
00:22:55I could take you both on my own.
00:22:58You think my power comes from a man?
00:23:02If only you knew.
00:23:04Man, I'm glad I divorced you.
00:23:06I knew you were stupid.
00:23:08But I didn't realize how easy you were.
00:23:11I don't even want to know your body count now that we've split up.
00:23:13Oh, that's rich coming from you.
00:23:16You're the one who cheated on me when we were still married.
00:23:19That's different.
00:23:21Stella has taken my career to new heights.
00:23:24You're a useless housewife.
00:23:26I'd be crazy not to choose her over you.
00:23:29The real you is an asshole.
00:23:33I never should have spent so much time getting you investments
00:23:36and paving your way to the top.
00:23:38I wasted three years.
00:23:41You're a liar.
00:23:48I was the one slaving away to get Milo these opportunities.
00:23:51You did nothing for him.
00:23:54Yeah, Stella's uncle is the CFO of Montgomery Group.
00:23:57Only she can get the support that Milo deserves.
00:24:00True that. Claire's just lashing out out of jealousy.
00:24:06I was the one who secured your career.
00:24:10I was the one who secured all of your investments and research opportunities
00:24:13over the past few years, including the investment on ecologics.
00:24:17Don't fall for her bullshit.
00:24:19Relax. I was with her long enough to know how useless she is.
00:24:23As long as I can play my uncle as the CFO, Claire,
00:24:26no one is going to doubt me.
00:24:30I'll say this once.
00:24:32Leave the gala before things get messy.
00:24:35You're the one who has no business here.
00:24:38I already told you to cancel the investment.
00:24:41You're not getting another cent, Ecologics.
00:24:47Sorry for the wait.
00:24:53Evening, folks. I'm Gideon Ford,
00:24:56Executive Assistant of Ecologics.
00:24:59I'm here on our CEO's account to present this agreement with the gala's host.
00:25:05Hear that?
00:25:08And you thought he canceled the investment?
00:25:11Not on my watch, bitch.
00:25:13And what makes you so sure that this agreement is for you?
00:25:20Wallace, we just got a complaint about our investigation into Claire.
00:25:24We have no choice but to shut it down.
00:25:27Interesting. She's definitely piqued my interest.
00:25:30Has she arrived at the gala?
00:25:33She's there. Gideon's about to deliver the agreement.
00:25:36Should we trust Claire?
00:25:39With our lives.
00:25:41Who else would it be for?
00:25:43Not some minimum wage hotel worker.
00:25:48Mr. Ford, just to confirm,
00:25:51that's Mr. Hudson's investment agreement you got there?
00:25:54That's right.
00:25:56Well, that settles it. Your cute little games are over.
00:25:59I'm heading to the top.
00:26:03I'm so proud of you, baby.
00:26:06Don't get too excited.
00:26:08This agreement was invalidated ten minutes ago.
00:26:18Do you really think you can influence Kane's decisions?
00:26:22Get real.
00:26:24You'd only be let through the doors at Ecologics as a janitor.
00:26:27Mr. Ford, please,
00:26:30read us the contents of the agreement.
00:26:32Sir, you are not authorized to view the agreement's terms.
00:26:35I'm the host of the gala.
00:26:38If anyone's authorized, it's me.
00:26:44Miss Montgomery,
00:26:47the fate of that agreement is for you to decide.
00:26:50Gideon, she's not involved in the Montgomery Group.
00:26:54She just happens to have the same last name as the CEO.
00:26:59Don't involve her in this.
00:27:01No, he meant what he said.
00:27:03Whether this agreement will be voided or not,
00:27:05is up to you.
00:27:07Do you know how important this is?
00:27:09If I sign that paper,
00:27:11I'll be one of the most successful entrepreneurs overnight.
00:27:14It's going to change my life.
00:27:16You really need to think about this.
00:27:21Stop!
00:27:25What are you doing?
00:27:29What are you doing?
00:27:35I told you I would take back that ring.
00:27:38This is just the beginning.
00:27:45You're the executive assistant at Ecologics.
00:27:47You should know how important that agreement was.
00:27:52Like I said,
00:27:54the fate of that agreement lies on Miss Montgomery's hands.
00:27:57It's not yours to decide.
00:27:59So you slept with this guy too, huh?
00:28:02Jesus, Claire, nothing's below you.
00:28:09You've got some nerve talking to Miss Montgomery like that.
00:28:12Okay, now I'm really ticked off.
00:28:17Guys, get these two out of here.
00:28:27Come on.
00:28:29Come on. Try me!
00:28:51Hey, listen.
00:28:54I'm your CEO, someone that organized this whole gala for me.
00:28:57And now you're teaming up with Claire
00:28:59and letting her tear up my agreement?
00:29:01When Mr. Hudson gets here,
00:29:03I'm going to tell him everything.
00:29:05Wow, you really don't get it yet, do you?
00:29:08Shut your mouth
00:29:10and go back to your hotel desk.
00:29:12Leave my agreements alone.
00:29:24Mr. Hudson's here.
00:29:27Now you're finished.
00:29:29Speak for yourself.
00:29:31Waging a war on my turf?
00:29:33You're going to wish you were dead.
00:29:54Milo, doesn't that guy look familiar?
00:29:58Oh, that's right.
00:30:00It's Claire's little sugar daddy.
00:30:02Yep, that's him.
00:30:04Calling in your new fling to impersonate Mr. Hudson?
00:30:07Nice try, Claire.
00:30:09You fool.
00:30:11Mr. Hudson's the energy king.
00:30:13This guy you brought with you
00:30:15is some kind of lawless barbarian.
00:30:19Oh, no.
00:30:21You figured me out.
00:30:23What am I going to do?
00:30:25What's an asshole like you doing in a place like this?
00:30:28As if trespassing on our property isn't enough.
00:30:31Well, fine.
00:30:33Stay.
00:30:35We're going to teach you a lesson.
00:30:37Yeah, I'd love to see you try.
00:30:39Do they really not know what Mr. Hudson's doing?
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:44I don't know.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:30:48What does Mr. Hudson look like?
00:30:50The Preston family are a bunch of idiots.
00:30:53They don't even recognize the energy king.
00:30:56Hey, people!
00:30:58Are we going to greet my boss or not?
00:31:09Welcome, Mr. Hudson.
00:31:11It's great to see you.
00:31:13Thanks for coming, boss.
00:31:18What's going on here?
00:31:20Wait.
00:31:22Is that guy really Mr. Hudson?
00:31:24That's right.
00:31:26You are looking at the CEO of Ecologics.
00:31:30Kane Hudson.
00:31:37You're right.
00:31:39She's just a glorified servant.
00:31:41No way does she know Kane Hudson.
00:31:43What are you muttering about?
00:31:45You asked to see my boss.
00:31:48Mr. Hudson is a trusted partner with the Preston family.
00:31:50No way would he stoop so low as to join forces with my shitty ex-wife.
00:31:56Milo, you dipshit.
00:31:59That guy literally is Kane Hudson.
00:32:01What?
00:32:03No.
00:32:09Are you really Mr. Hudson?
00:32:13Oh. My. God.
00:32:16Mr. Hudson, please.
00:32:18Forgive my ignorance.
00:32:20And on behalf of the entire Preston family,
00:32:22please accept our sincerest apologies.
00:32:24I'm not the one you owe an apology.
00:32:31Go on.
00:32:33I would love to hear what you have to apologize for.
00:32:37Sorry.
00:32:39You're going to have to do much better than that.
00:32:41Effective immediately.
00:32:43Ecologics is withdrawing its billion-dollar investment with Milo's research
00:32:47and officially ending our business relationship with the Preston family.
00:32:52He's withdrawing the investment without my consent?
00:32:54Shouldn't he be afraid of stirring up trouble with the Montgomery group?
00:32:58I'm sorry, mysterious Ms. Montgomery.
00:33:00I'll explain everything later.
00:33:02Wait.
00:33:04We're making a mistake here.
00:33:06Let's talk this over.
00:33:09Oof. A little late for negotiating, don't you think?
00:33:11Oh, God. You just never quit.
00:33:13What kind of spell do you have this guy under?
00:33:25You scumbag.
00:33:27You know Claire's the one that asked me to invest a billion dollars with you?
00:33:29And since you divorced her,
00:33:31I have no reason to help.
00:33:33Wait.
00:33:35You knew that Mr. Hudson was going to withdraw the investment
00:33:38You knew that I requested Milo's investment?
00:33:42Shh.
00:33:44I'm just pulling his leg.
00:33:46Trust me. It'll make you look good.
00:33:48Fine.
00:33:50You're not wrong anyway.
00:33:52I don't understand why you're helping her.
00:33:54You're the energy king.
00:33:56You can score with the sexiest babes in the world.
00:33:58Why settle for a throwaway like her?
00:34:02Mr. Hudson,
00:34:04this chick has you hoodwinked.
00:34:06Or uneducated laborer.
00:34:08Stella's right.
00:34:10And I hope you're not just in it for the ass.
00:34:12I'd rather fuck a sex doll.
00:34:18A sex doll is the only action
00:34:20a short, scrawny loser like you will ever get.
00:34:28Don't get a big head, Claire.
00:34:30He's clearly just using you.
00:34:32Is that jealousy that I'm sensing?
00:34:36I should thank you.
00:34:46If it wasn't for you,
00:34:48I might have missed my chance with Claire.
00:34:52It's a shame you couldn't appreciate her strengths.
00:34:56Thanks for divorcing me, Milo.
00:34:58Otherwise, I never would have met someone so much more
00:35:00talented, handsome
00:35:02and loving than you ever were.
00:35:06Don't be so naive, Claire.
00:35:08He's only with you to hit it and quit it.
00:35:10A high flyer like that
00:35:12would never look at you as marriage material.
00:35:14Yeah, guys from rich families
00:35:16can't just take home any old bitch.
00:35:18Imagine the look on his mother's face
00:35:20if you tried to ask for his hand.
00:35:24Actually, I think my mother would approve.
00:35:28Claire, if you want to marry me,
00:35:32I'm all yours.
00:35:36Mr. Hudson,
00:35:38she's just in it for your money.
00:35:40It doesn't matter to me.
00:35:42You need to think this over.
00:35:44This woman is going to scam you out of your money,
00:35:46sabotage your work projects and take down your entire business.
00:35:48I don't need to think anything over.
00:35:50I know Claire way better than you do.
00:35:53Yeah.
00:36:03You can trust me, Mr. Hudson.
00:36:05If you invest in me,
00:36:07I'll complete my groundbreaking cancer testing research
00:36:09and I'll repay you generously
00:36:11for your support.
00:36:13Wake up, Milo.
00:36:15You're not going to be the guy that cures cancer.
00:36:23Shut your mouth!
00:36:25And what the hell do you know?
00:36:27You didn't even go to college.
00:36:29You're just jealous because Milo's a genius.
00:36:31Right, because needing my help
00:36:33to get investments for three years
00:36:35makes him a genius.
00:36:37Your help?
00:36:39You might know how to seduce guys,
00:36:41but when it comes to networking and connections,
00:36:43you are no match for me.
00:36:45Oh, well then, I cannot wait
00:36:47to see how you get Milo out of this mess.
00:36:49And I can't wait to see what other cheap tricks
00:36:51you have up your sleeve.
00:36:57Yes, this is Milo.
00:36:59What?
00:37:01You're withdrawing your investment funds?
00:37:05No, no, no, please.
00:37:07Please don't do that.
00:37:09Okay, no, I'm begging you.
00:37:11These funds are important to my re...
00:37:13What? What happened?
00:37:15My investment money.
00:37:18It's all gone.
00:37:20Impossible.
00:37:22Those investors are friends of my uncle.
00:37:24What did you do?
00:37:26Claire,
00:37:28let's get out of here.
00:37:30You don't leave until I say so.
00:37:34If you hurt Claire,
00:37:36you're gonna regret it.
00:37:48Claire,
00:37:50I'm so sorry.
00:37:52I've been terrible to you.
00:37:54Remember
00:37:56those three happy years we shared?
00:38:00Please,
00:38:02just forgive me.
00:38:04Milo, what are you doing?
00:38:06You look pathetic.
00:38:08Don't touch me.
00:38:10You and that uncle of yours
00:38:12have ruined my career.
00:38:14Claire,
00:38:17if you can get the investors
00:38:19to reverse their decision,
00:38:21I'll break up with Stella.
00:38:25I still love you.
00:38:27I mean it.
00:38:29Really?
00:38:33Claire,
00:38:35it's bluffing.
00:38:37I knew you felt the same.
00:38:41You can't fool me with your last minute begging.
00:38:43Milo, I don't believe
00:38:45a word that comes out of your mouth.
00:38:51Let's go.
00:38:57Oh, you petty bitch.
00:38:59You think you can take on me?
00:39:03Just wait and see.
00:39:09Great acting back there.
00:39:11You know, for a second,
00:39:14I almost believed you actually loved me.
00:39:16I wasn't acting.
00:39:20I meant everything I said in there.
00:39:24I fell for Milo's lies.
00:39:26I'm sure as hell not gonna fall for yours.
00:39:30Good night, Cain.
00:39:38You were right to end things with Milo.
00:39:40Now you can start fresh.
00:39:43I gave the green light to Cain
00:39:45for everything he did today.
00:39:47This doesn't change where he stands with us.
00:39:49Understood.
00:39:51Also,
00:39:53in three days, I'll be holding an event
00:39:55to announce my return to Montgomery Group.
00:40:01God damn it!
00:40:03How did this happen?
00:40:05Even my mom left!
00:40:07Milo, don't worry.
00:40:09We'll find a way out of this.
00:40:11I'm sorry, Stella.
00:40:15You know I would never leave you.
00:40:17I just wanted my investment money back.
00:40:25Cain Hudson!
00:40:27You get over here now!
00:40:33Wait.
00:40:36Aren't you Eliza Reed?
00:40:38The Reed family heiress?
00:40:40I am indeed the Reed family heiress.
00:40:42And Cain Hudson's fiancé.
00:40:46Milo, go introduce yourself.
00:40:48She's loaded.
00:40:50Right up there with Miss Montgomery.
00:40:56Miss Reed.
00:40:58It's an absolute pleasure.
00:41:00I'm Milo Preston.
00:41:02You mean the genius
00:41:05behind the cutting-edge cancer testing research?
00:41:07That's me.
00:41:09He's backed by the Montgomery Group.
00:41:11Partnering with him
00:41:13might be my shot at finally landing
00:41:15that collaboration with the Montgomery's.
00:41:17Well, I've heard very impressive
00:41:19things about you.
00:41:21I would love to explore
00:41:23potential collaboration.
00:41:25I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:41:27And did you say Cain was your fiancé?
00:41:29Yes.
00:41:31Have you guys seen him?
00:41:33Yes. He has a unique
00:41:35relationship with my ex-wife.
00:41:37He recently cancelled
00:41:39a one billion dollar investment
00:41:41because of her.
00:41:43What did you just say?
00:41:45He cancelled an investment
00:41:47because of your
00:41:49ex-wife?
00:41:51Yes.
00:41:53He even said he's going to marry her.
00:41:55I don't know what kind of spell
00:41:57that witch put on him.
00:41:59You two have been
00:42:02taken for fools.
00:42:04What?
00:42:06Miss Reed, what do you mean we've been taken for fools?
00:42:08That investment was not
00:42:10from Cain at all.
00:42:12Cain's the one that organized this whole gala for me.
00:42:14It's not his money.
00:42:16It's insider information.
00:42:18For the past three years, your research
00:42:20has been all fast-tracked
00:42:22thanks to the quiet backing
00:42:24of the Montgomery Group.
00:42:26What? The Montgomery Group has been behind me
00:42:28the whole time?
00:42:31The galas, the billion
00:42:33dollar investments,
00:42:35all Montgomery Group.
00:42:37Oh, I knew it! A genius like me
00:42:39can't go unnoticed.
00:42:41So Cain and that conniving bitch Claire
00:42:43have been playing us this whole time.
00:42:45I won't let Cain call off our
00:42:47engagement that easily.
00:42:49Miss Reed, if there's any way we can help,
00:42:51please just say the word.
00:42:53You want your investment money back?
00:42:55Of course.
00:42:57But how?
00:42:59Go straight to the Montgomery Group
00:43:01and expose Cain's lies.
00:43:09Boss, cancelling Milo's
00:43:11investment like that?
00:43:13You sure the Montgomery Group is going to let this slide?
00:43:15Look, I know what I'm doing, okay?
00:43:17I'll talk to their CEO myself.
00:43:25Mr. Hudson, I just heard about your move at the gala.
00:43:28Look, Mr. Duncan, let me explain.
00:43:30No need. We're fully behind you.
00:43:32Oh, you are?
00:43:34Of course.
00:43:36That is our CEO's decision.
00:43:38In fact, they want you to come by headquarters.
00:43:40They have a gift for you.
00:43:42I'll be there. Thank you.
00:43:46Miss Montgomery, I've invited Cain to headquarters
00:43:48as you requested.
00:43:50Cain, don't be
00:43:52startled when you learn my real identity.
00:43:58Well, look at that.
00:44:00Now we don't have to deal with any backlash from the Montgomery Group.
00:44:04Are you really
00:44:06going to toss me aside for some nobody?
00:44:12Eliza, we're done here.
00:44:14Don't you forget.
00:44:16Our engagement was arranged by your grandfather.
00:44:18I can marry whoever I want.
00:44:20Well, that may be true for
00:44:22ordinary people.
00:44:24But you and I both know how this game is played.
00:44:26Our lives have been planned for us since birth.
00:44:28Why are you even
00:44:30hesitating?
00:44:32Am I not as good
00:44:34as that front desk receptionist
00:44:36that you've become so smitten with?
00:44:38She has nothing to do with this.
00:44:40Are you defending her?
00:44:42Ecologic's current
00:44:44success is entirely
00:44:46attributed to the Reed family's support.
00:44:48So, are you
00:44:50refusing me
00:44:52for some lowly hotel receptionist?
00:44:55I'm thankful for everything
00:44:57that you did for me.
00:44:59Oh, go to hell!
00:45:01Your company would have gone bankrupt long ago
00:45:03if I wasn't there to support it.
00:45:11You know,
00:45:13why won't you leave that woman?
00:45:15I'm your fiancé.
00:45:17And I'm what's best for you.
00:45:20You're not very convincing.
00:45:28You will be mine.
00:45:38Wow.
00:45:40This place really screams money.
00:45:42Thank you for getting me in here, Stella.
00:45:44Without you,
00:45:46I never would have been able to be here.
00:45:48Thanks to my uncle, you can come anytime.
00:45:52I'm glad to have you by my side.
00:45:54Let me tell you some good news.
00:45:56Miss Montgomery's returning to headquarters today.
00:45:58Maybe we can get my uncle
00:46:00to introduce us.
00:46:02That'd be amazing.
00:46:04You've done more for me than Claire ever did.
00:46:06That bitch wouldn't even be able to get you
00:46:08these opportunities.
00:46:18Hey, Cline.
00:46:20The new CFO heard about your return
00:46:22and has prepared an expensive gift.
00:46:24He'd like to see you at once.
00:46:26I don't have time. Please decline.
00:46:28Understood.
00:46:30Is the $5 billion investment ready for Kane?
00:46:32It's ready. I'll go get it.
00:46:34I'll be right in.
00:46:36Kane, your loyalty is admirable.
00:46:38You have my unwavering support.
00:46:48Ah, Mr. Duncan.
00:46:50Did Miss Montgomery agree to meet me?
00:46:52She just got back and she's got a lot on her plate.
00:46:54Try some other time.
00:46:56Miss Montgomery asked me to get the investor agreement.
00:46:58If you grab it yourself,
00:47:00you might be able to meet her.
00:47:02I'd be happy to.
00:47:04Don't make any mistakes. It's a very important document.
00:47:14Uncle Harry, I'm here.
00:47:17All right, look.
00:47:19Our CEO has just set up a $5 billion investment agreement.
00:47:21It seems they're trying to make up
00:47:23for the little incident last night with Malik.
00:47:25$5 billion?
00:47:27For me? Is this real?
00:47:29For three years,
00:47:31Montgomery Group has been silently supporting you.
00:47:33This time, it's no different.
00:47:35Claire had to get involved.
00:47:37That bitch doesn't realize her little stunt
00:47:39got us even more investment money.
00:47:41Now that our CEO is back,
00:47:43you get a chance to meet them.
00:47:46Absolutely.
00:47:48Thank you for all your help.
00:47:50You know, when I'm successful,
00:47:52I won't forget your support.
00:47:54You two, wait here.
00:47:56I'm going to go get the investment agreement.
00:48:02So what if that bitch found another man?
00:48:04I'm going to be so rich,
00:48:06she's going to be begging to come back to me.
00:48:08A slut who sleeps her way to the top
00:48:10will never be a worthy opponent.
00:48:16Look what the cat dragged in.
00:48:18Still playing dress up, Claire?
00:48:24Well, at least I don't need a man to get me in the door.
00:48:26Stop bragging.
00:48:28This isn't ecologics.
00:48:30Your new boy toy won't be able to save you here.
00:48:32I'm sorry, are you forgetting
00:48:34that you're the one who cheated with my husband?
00:48:36Milo.
00:48:38You took time out of your day to come here?
00:48:40Are you trying to get back with me?
00:48:42It's not going to work.
00:48:44I'm here because I have work to do.
00:48:46Oh, are you having an affair with a security guard?
00:48:52You're disgusting.
00:48:54I'm VIP!
00:48:56Don't you dare touch me!
00:48:58You bitch, my Uncle Harry is CFO of Montgomery Group.
00:49:00I might just talk to him about you
00:49:02and you'll be fired.
00:49:04Wait, Harry Klein is your uncle?
00:49:06Yes.
00:49:08Are you scared?
00:49:10If Harry knew how you two have been treating me,
00:49:13you might actually fear him.
00:49:15Don't be ridiculous. We see through your lies.
00:49:17Didn't Cain humiliate you enough?
00:49:19We already know the truth.
00:49:21The real investor backing Milo is not Cain.
00:49:23It's the CEO of Montgomery Group.
00:49:25By the way, Miss Montgomery
00:49:27already reinvested five billion dollars
00:49:29in my cancer testing research
00:49:31to make up for last night's loss.
00:49:33Really?
00:49:35I wasn't aware of that.
00:49:37Nobody cares about your lowly opinion.
00:49:39Milo, you're too stupid to deserve that investment.
00:49:42Once my research test results are out,
00:49:44I'm going to be a billionaire
00:49:46and you'll realize how foolish you were to doubt me.
00:49:48Well, I heard that investment isn't even for you.
00:49:50The cancer testing research
00:49:52is cutting edge technology.
00:49:54Who other than Milo deserves
00:49:56the five billion dollar investment?
00:49:58The five billion dollar investment is mine.
00:50:00I can give that money to whoever I want.
00:50:02You're saying it's yours?
00:50:04Are you trying to impersonate Miss Montgomery?
00:50:06I don't need to impersonate her.
00:50:08I am her.
00:50:10Once my uncle arrives,
00:50:12we'll see if you're still willing to lie about who you are.
00:50:14Harry is my subordinates.
00:50:16He has to listen to what I have to say.
00:50:18Are you brain dead?
00:50:20No one is dumb enough to pretend to be
00:50:22the Montgomery Group CEO while at headquarters.
00:50:24I didn't realize you started lying
00:50:26after our divorce.
00:50:28Do you know how ridiculous you look?
00:50:30Let me let you in on a little secret.
00:50:32That five billion dollar investment
00:50:34is a gift from Montgomery Group to Cain.
00:50:36It has nothing to do with you.
00:50:39Stop lying.
00:50:41All my progress over the years
00:50:43has been thanks to the Montgomery Group's
00:50:45unwavering support.
00:50:47Why would they stop now?
00:50:49Especially for someone like Cain.
00:50:51Joke's on you.
00:50:53Because guess what?
00:50:55I'm Claire Montgomery.
00:50:57And I've been pulling the strings all along.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:01Just because you have
00:51:03the same last name as her
00:51:05doesn't mean you're even in the same class.
00:51:07Keep dreaming.
00:51:09I've already investigated you.
00:51:11You have no connection to the Montgomery Group.
00:51:13You're just a hotel receptionist.
00:51:15Security, kick her out.
00:51:21If you touch her again,
00:51:23you'll have to answer to me.
00:51:27Beat it.
00:51:29Understood?
00:51:33Who let you in here?
00:51:36Montgomery Group Headquarters.
00:51:38Did you get permission?
00:51:40Get your filthy hands off me.
00:51:42Hey, I'm a major investment here
00:51:44at the Montgomery Group, alright?
00:51:46You can't touch me.
00:51:48Are you okay?
00:51:50Of course.
00:51:52This is my turn.
00:51:54Milo, your cancer testing research
00:51:56is a complete farce.
00:51:58Montgomery Group has already
00:52:00stopped investing in you.
00:52:02You don't understand the science behind it.
00:52:05Don't be naive.
00:52:07Montgomery Group has already cancelled
00:52:09all their investments in you.
00:52:11You're not going to fool me again.
00:52:13I secured the $5 billion investment
00:52:15and I'm going to use that money
00:52:17to bankrupt Ecologics.
00:52:19What's all the fuss?
00:52:21Just in time.
00:52:25My investment agreement arrives.
00:52:27Uncle Harry, what's that?
00:52:29Well, this is the investment agreement
00:52:31that Ms. Montgomery ordered for Milo.
00:52:33This is all the evidence I need.
00:52:35That agreement is not for Milo.
00:52:37What are you two doing here?
00:52:39Who invited you?
00:52:41I was invited by Mr. Duncan.
00:52:43So now you're lying to get more
00:52:45investment opportunities?
00:52:47He's not lying. I invited him.
00:52:49Under what authority do you have to invite him?
00:52:51Harry, she's just my ex-wife.
00:52:53She's been trying to sabotage my career
00:52:56because she's angry.
00:52:58She even said that this investment agreement
00:53:00is for Cain and not me.
00:53:02This investment agreement was prepared
00:53:04by our CEO's executive assistant.
00:53:06It's honestly none of your business.
00:53:08You don't have to believe me.
00:53:10Just let Cain open it.
00:53:12We'll see.
00:53:14If this doesn't work, we're screwed.
00:53:16Don't worry. You can open it.
00:53:18Oh, and Ben.
00:53:20I don't want anyone
00:53:22but Cain to have access to this agreement.
00:53:25I used the fingerprint scanner we have on file
00:53:27so he's the only one who can unlock the documents.
00:53:31I'll give you guys one chance to open it.
00:53:33If you can't,
00:53:35then I'll report you to the cops.
00:53:37What are you waiting for?
00:53:39Open it.
00:53:43Don't look at it.
00:53:45What if it doesn't open?
00:53:47This is Montgomery Group's gift to you.
00:53:49You can open it.
00:53:51He can't open it.
00:53:53Only someone supported by the Montgomery Group
00:53:55can open the briefcase.
00:53:57Watch. I can open it.
00:54:01You can try.
00:54:07All notifications denied.
00:54:12Impossible.
00:54:14Harry, what's going on?
00:54:16It must be broken.
00:54:18Now let's have Cain try.
00:54:21He can't open it.
00:54:23Trust me, Cain.
00:54:25You can open it.
00:54:29Okay.
00:54:31It's nothing.
00:54:47For three years,
00:54:50this fellow has been the protege
00:54:52of the Montgomery Group's CEO.
00:54:54This investment agreement was meant for him.
00:54:56No one else can open the briefcase.
00:54:58And what if Cain can open it?
00:55:02Then I'll resign.
00:55:04I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.
00:55:06Cain, go ahead.
00:55:09Authentication successful.
00:55:19Authentication successful.
00:55:27How did this happen?
00:55:29Impossible.
00:55:31It's been tampered with.
00:55:33Ben set this password.
00:55:35How did Cain open it?
00:55:37Take a look inside.
00:55:45Milo, it seems this agreement
00:55:47doesn't mention you anywhere.
00:55:51I guess Montgomery Group had no intention
00:55:53of investing in you after all.
00:55:57Harry, what's going on?
00:56:00The fingerprint scanner must be broken.
00:56:04Return that immediately.
00:56:06That is my gift to Cain.
00:56:08I don't care how you open the briefcase.
00:56:10You clearly have no authority
00:56:12to take the agreement.
00:56:14What is this ruckus in my building?
00:56:20What is this ruckus in my building?
00:56:23What is this ruckus in my building?
00:56:29This is Montgomery Group headquarters,
00:56:31not a nightclub.
00:56:33Sorry, Mr. Duncan.
00:56:35I don't know how Claire and Cain
00:56:37managed to open the briefcase.
00:56:39Mr. Duncan, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:56:41My name is Milo Preston.
00:56:43You're the kid who developed
00:56:45the new cancer testing research.
00:56:47Yes, yes.
00:56:49All thanks to the support of the Montgomery Group.
00:56:51And you're aware of all of the backing
00:56:53that Montgomery Group has provided for you?
00:56:55Yes, yes.
00:56:57And can I say what an honor it is
00:56:59to be supported by such a prestigious company.
00:57:01Did you hear that, bitch?
00:57:03Mr. Duncan just acknowledged
00:57:05that Milo is a favorite around here.
00:57:09Cain,
00:57:11go call your team and inform them
00:57:13of your best bet.
00:57:15Are you sure?
00:57:17I can handle this.
00:57:20I'll be back.
00:57:24Milo, take this.
00:57:26This is a gift
00:57:28from the Montgomery Group.
00:57:30I can't believe it.
00:57:32I've never received
00:57:34a five billion dollar investment agreement
00:57:36before. Mr. Duncan,
00:57:38please, thank the Montgomery's for me.
00:57:40And I promise
00:57:42I'll finish my cancer testing research.
00:57:44Montgomery Group
00:57:46resources are not meant for lowlifes like you
00:57:48to do as you please.
00:57:52What the hell?
00:57:54I'm sorry, here is the five billion dollar agreement
00:57:56you asked me to prepare.
00:57:58Ms. Montgomery.
00:58:00Ms. Montgomery?
00:58:04No, Mr. Duncan, you don't understand.
00:58:06This is just a disgruntled ex-wife.
00:58:09Idiot.
00:58:11I'll give you a chance to meet Ms. Montgomery
00:58:13and this is how you treat her with such disrespect.
00:58:15What are you talking about?
00:58:17Are you...
00:58:19Ben,
00:58:21I don't ever want to see this person again.
00:58:27Escort him out.
00:58:31Wait, Ms. Montgomery,
00:58:33I don't understand.
00:58:36Wait, Ms. Montgomery,
00:58:38I didn't know,
00:58:40I'm sorry, I...
00:58:42You little shit, you ruined me.
00:58:50Mr. Duncan, I think there's a misunderstanding here.
00:58:52This bitch,
00:58:56this woman,
00:58:58is just a regular hotel worker.
00:59:00Alright, she has no authority
00:59:02here.
00:59:04You are so dense.
00:59:06The five billion dollar investment money
00:59:08was given to me by the CEO of the Montgomery Group.
00:59:10Are you really going to go against their will
00:59:12for Claire?
00:59:14I'm not going against their will and I will remind
00:59:16you that your ex-wife is a public
00:59:18figure so I would warn you to be very careful.
00:59:20No, she's not.
00:59:22She's an ordinary woman
00:59:24that nobody wants.
00:59:28Piss off.
00:59:30Claire,
00:59:33who are you?
00:59:35I've already told you.
00:59:37Ben, please see our guests out.
00:59:43Don't touch me!
00:59:45We'll see ourselves out.
00:59:49You'll regret this.
00:59:59What's going on here?
01:00:02Well,
01:00:04this is a
01:00:06gift from Ben.
01:00:10Gift from Ben?
01:00:14Yes, originally the investment
01:00:16was intended for Milo.
01:00:20However,
01:00:22my CEO thought
01:00:24that his cancer testing research
01:00:26might be fake.
01:00:28So I took it upon myself to discuss
01:00:30with Ms. Montgomery
01:00:32about Milo's
01:00:34research.
01:00:36There's no way to detect
01:00:38blood cancer from a single drop of blood.
01:00:42So I recommended your
01:00:44renewable energy projects to Ben
01:00:46for investment.
01:00:48I am grateful to Montgomery Group for your trust in me.
01:00:50You won't regret it.
01:01:00Ben,
01:01:02are you
01:01:04forgetting something?
01:01:08This is an invitation
01:01:10to a gala celebrating the return
01:01:12of our mystery CEO.
01:01:14For me?
01:01:16Sure, absolutely.
01:01:18It's at our CEO's request.
01:01:20Please thank the CEO
01:01:22for this. Wow.
01:01:24Claire,
01:01:26would you like to be my
01:01:29last one to the gala?
01:01:31Sure, why not?
01:01:37Ms. Montgomery, why have you not revealed
01:01:39your true identity to Kane?
01:01:41I need to make sure he doesn't
01:01:43have any red flags first.
01:01:45I can't handle another Milo.
01:01:49Why's Ben helping her so much?
01:01:51Did Claire give him something?
01:01:53He listened to her like she had authority
01:01:55over him. Don't forget how
01:01:58manipulative she can be.
01:02:00You think she's manipulating him? She must be.
01:02:02Otherwise, why would Ben be
01:02:04cooperating with her so much?
01:02:06Yeah, maybe you're right.
01:02:12So, did you get the investment?
01:02:16No.
01:02:18Kane took it before I could.
01:02:20You're an idiot!
01:02:22It's fine.
01:02:24We still have a chance.
01:02:26The Montgomery Group CEO is hosting our gala
01:02:28the day after tomorrow night.
01:02:30And I have secured our entry.
01:02:32So, when the time comes,
01:02:34you will cooperate with me.
01:02:36I want Kane to understand
01:02:38that leaving me
01:02:40was a mistake.
01:02:42Well, how?
01:02:48I want to see what happens.
01:02:56Why is that chair so different?
01:02:58It's the Montgomery throne.
01:03:00Whoever sits there will influence America's economy
01:03:02for the next 30 years.
01:03:04We'll never have that kind of power.
01:03:06I heard the CEO is in their 20s.
01:03:08Do they really have what it takes
01:03:10to lead Montgomery Group?
01:03:12The company's success is all they're doing.
01:03:14No one can replace them.
01:03:16Meeting the CEO is actually on my bucket list.
01:03:18Today's a rare opportunity.
01:03:20I have to leave a good impression.
01:03:23Who is she?
01:03:33I can't believe
01:03:35we're at such a high-end party
01:03:37to watch Miles' ex-wife show off.
01:03:39Stella,
01:03:41I can't believe
01:03:43we're at such a high-end party
01:03:45to watch Miles' ex-wife show off.
01:03:47I can't believe
01:03:49we're at such a high-end party
01:03:51Stella, I could bankrupt you
01:03:53in a night.
01:03:55I'll kick you out.
01:03:57The Montgomery CEO is about to sit upon their throne
01:03:59and Milo will expose
01:04:01your scheme to embezzle the investment money.
01:04:03You'll go to jail.
01:04:05I already told you.
01:04:07I am Ms. Longo.
01:04:11You're a joke.
01:04:13Just a loser living in your
01:04:15own little fantasy world.
01:04:18Someone
01:04:20get this slut out of here.
01:04:22She's not invited.
01:04:24I agree. The CEO is arriving soon.
01:04:26Don't let this trash ruin the event.
01:04:28Get her out.
01:04:30Well, if I leave, then you all have no reason to be here.
01:04:32Someone get this bitch out of here.
01:04:34She's not invited.
01:04:38Who said she's not invited?
01:04:48Who said Claire doesn't have an invite?
01:04:50I have it right here.
01:04:54Let me guess.
01:04:56Ben gave you that invite?
01:05:00It's a genuine invite.
01:05:02I don't doubt that it's real.
01:05:06The question is
01:05:08how does a broke loser like Claire
01:05:10convince Ben to customize one for her?
01:05:12Let me answer that
01:05:14for you. It's because
01:05:17Claire is Ben's little plaything.
01:05:21Claire, don't let him rob you.
01:05:25I'm a genius.
01:05:27The Montgomery's Analyze both believe in me
01:05:29and my revolutionary cancer testing research.
01:05:33I have millions in patents.
01:05:35I'm going to be so wealthy,
01:05:37you can't even imagine.
01:05:39You can't compete.
01:05:41Careful what type of men
01:05:43you choose, Claire.
01:05:45I'm counting on Cain and Ben to save you
01:05:47and the real senior arrives.
01:05:49Instead of worrying about me,
01:05:53you should focus on yourself.
01:05:55Your little game is finished
01:05:57and your days
01:05:59of prosperity are coming to an end.
01:06:03Well, at least I won't have to look at your
01:06:05old wrinkly face every day.
01:06:09You disgust me.
01:06:11Then you better not beg for my forgiveness
01:06:14once you find out who I really am.
01:06:18Let me be straight with you.
01:06:20Eliza's connected me
01:06:22with two of the major shareholders
01:06:24of the Montgomery Group.
01:06:26They're partners with the CEO.
01:06:28So even Ben, reckless as he is,
01:06:30can't disobey their orders.
01:06:32And now that I have
01:06:34both the CEO and the two shareholders
01:06:36on my side, how long do you think
01:06:38Cain and Ben can protect you?
01:06:41They'll be begging me
01:06:43to take you back.
01:06:45You know what your biggest problem is?
01:06:47You take yourself way too seriously.
01:06:49Eliza's meeting
01:06:51with the shareholders as we speak.
01:06:53You and old man Ben's
01:06:55embezzlement of my investment funds
01:06:57is gonna face justice.
01:06:59What did you say?
01:07:01Ben embezzled
01:07:03the five billion dollar investment?
01:07:05Exactly.
01:07:07Ben already handed over
01:07:09the funds to Cain.
01:07:11Has Ben lost his mind?
01:07:13How dare he misappropriate the funds
01:07:15while our CEO is away?
01:07:17Derek, we need to clean house
01:07:19for our CEO's return.
01:07:21Cain, you think your business is safe?
01:07:23If you want ecologics
01:07:25to keep running,
01:07:27you'll have to marry me.
01:07:31Claire, what do you have
01:07:33hiding up your sleeve?
01:07:35What's wrong, Cain?
01:07:38I'm starting to doubt the Montgomery Group
01:07:40would invest five billion in you.
01:07:44If you admit your mistake,
01:07:46tear up the agreement
01:07:48Claire gave you,
01:07:50I'd be willing to tell the authorities
01:07:52you were coerced.
01:07:54God, you will say anything, won't you?
01:07:56This is your last chance, Cain.
01:08:04I trust Claire.
01:08:08Cain!
01:08:10Don't you ever think about what you are doing!
01:08:12You are an idiot!
01:08:16You are just a pawn
01:08:18in Claire's sick little game.
01:08:20Do you really think
01:08:22that you're going to get that investment?
01:08:26Hey, my business
01:08:28is none of your concern.
01:08:30Wake up!
01:08:32Claire seduced you
01:08:34into accepting that five billion dollars
01:08:37just so that she could drain it
01:08:39and disappear.
01:08:41But Cain,
01:08:43don't worry.
01:08:45I will clean this whole mess up.
01:08:47Just as long as you promise
01:08:49to leave that woman.
01:08:51Don't insult Claire again
01:08:53or you'll regret it.
01:08:55Fine, if that's how you want to do this.
01:08:57But don't blame me
01:08:59when I pull all of my investments.
01:09:01And when ecologics
01:09:03is in crisis,
01:09:05don't come begging.
01:09:07Well, there's no need to worry about that.
01:09:09Cain has already
01:09:11received a five billion dollar investment
01:09:13from Montgomery Group.
01:09:15So,
01:09:17he doesn't need your money anymore.
01:09:21So, you're Claire.
01:09:23You think you can steal Cain
01:09:25from me?
01:09:27Over my dead body?
01:09:29Cain and I have the freedom
01:09:31to marry whoever we want.
01:09:34You are just a hotel receptionist.
01:09:38Cain is way out of your league.
01:09:40As am I.
01:09:48Whether I'm a hotel receptionist or a CEO,
01:09:52I have the freedom to do what makes me happy.
01:09:56What? What are you doing?
01:09:58Get away! Get away from there!
01:10:00You are going to get your filth
01:10:03all over the Montgomery Throne.
01:10:11This throne
01:10:15is mine.
01:10:19She's lost it!
01:10:21She actually sat on the Montgomery Throne!
01:10:23Get down from there right now!
01:10:25Please, this is the CEO's seat.
01:10:29We're going to get in trouble.
01:10:31Relax.
01:10:33I've got you covered.
01:10:35No one will mess with you here.
01:10:39You all heard that, right?
01:10:43This is who your
01:10:45energy king admires.
01:10:47Not only
01:10:49did she convince Cain to
01:10:51embezzle funds,
01:10:53but now she's impersonating
01:10:55Miss Montgomery.
01:10:57She's got some nerve.
01:11:00You are such
01:11:02a fraud!
01:11:04You know, impersonating
01:11:06Miss Montgomery and embezzling funds
01:11:08are both very serious crimes.
01:11:10I have the shareholders
01:11:12on their way right now to expose you.
01:11:14You know,
01:11:16in the five years
01:11:18since I founded Montgomery Group,
01:11:20I've faced thousands
01:11:22of challenges. Your little tricks
01:11:24don't please me.
01:11:26Hey!
01:11:28Who's causing all this noise?
01:11:30Gentlemen, there is a woman here
01:11:32who is impersonating Miss Montgomery.
01:11:34But don't worry,
01:11:36I'm about to have her kicked out.
01:11:38Who's impersonating Miss Montgomery?
01:11:40Hi, Sam.
01:11:42Hi, Derek.
01:11:48Long time no see.
01:11:50Eliza?
01:11:52Is she the one you're claiming
01:11:54is impersonating Miss Montgomery?
01:11:57Yes.
01:11:59Somehow she convinced Ben
01:12:01to embezzle the five billion that was meant for Milo.
01:12:03Please,
01:12:05help me get my investment
01:12:07back and punish her!
01:12:09Shut up!
01:12:15There's got to be some kind of mistake here.
01:12:17She's the imposter!
01:12:19I know exactly
01:12:21who she is.
01:12:23Greetings, Miss Montgomery.
01:12:27What?
01:12:31Claire
01:12:33is Miss Montgomery.
01:12:35Listen up.
01:12:37This
01:12:39is Miss Montgomery
01:12:41of Montgomery Group.
01:12:43The richest
01:12:45person on the continent?
01:12:47Disrespect her
01:12:49and you're going
01:12:51against the entire company.
01:12:53Claire, what's going on?
01:12:56Are you really the CEO?
01:12:58I should have told you sooner,
01:13:00King, but
01:13:02past experiences made me
01:13:04cautious.
01:13:06But now I can confidently
01:13:08say to you
01:13:10I am Claire Montgomery,
01:13:12CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:13:16Impossible.
01:13:18She can't
01:13:20be the CEO.
01:13:22She's just a hotel worker, a woman
01:13:24I left behind!
01:13:26Watch your mouth.
01:13:28I won't hesitate to bury you myself.
01:13:38Can you tell me
01:13:40you're the CEO?
01:13:42I told you the funds were for me.
01:13:44That your success was built on
01:13:46my resources.
01:13:48Did you believe me?
01:13:50No.
01:13:53I don't want to see this person anymore.
01:13:55I'm sorry.
01:13:59Okay, I was wrong.
01:14:01Please take me back.
01:14:03Let's start over.
01:14:05Milo, you're choosing her over me?
01:14:07Shut up!
01:14:09You've ruined me.
01:14:11This is all your fault.
01:14:13Claire,
01:14:15my cancer testing research
01:14:17is just about to launch.
01:14:19Please, there's going to be huge returns.
01:14:22Okay.
01:14:30Here's the feasibility report for your research.
01:14:34It's a scam.
01:14:38A dream you spun for yourself.
01:14:42It's over.
01:14:46Milo Preston,
01:14:48you're under arrest
01:14:50for fraud and illegally obtaining funds.
01:14:54You could have been a renowned entrepreneur with Claire.
01:14:58I threw it all away.
01:15:00Yeah, you two are going to wait for a really long time.
01:15:02Come on.
01:15:10I thought that you were willing to throw it all away
01:15:12for your so-called freedom.
01:15:16It turns out you were just in it for the money.
01:15:20Your understanding
01:15:22of love is
01:15:24shallow.
01:15:26Wealth is the least
01:15:28of Claire's qualities.
01:15:30She's kind,
01:15:32optimistic.
01:15:34She treats everyone equal, regardless of their status
01:15:36and their wealth.
01:15:40That's what I love most about her.
01:15:42So you're saying
01:15:44I don't have any redeeming qualities?
01:15:46Everyone has redeeming qualities,
01:15:49including you.
01:15:51But love is to surrender
01:15:53in free will.
01:15:55Love is
01:16:01simply love.
01:16:03Cain,
01:16:05I've never heard you talk that way about anybody.
01:16:07Oh, well,
01:16:09I give up.
01:16:13Love is the most important thing in a marriage
01:16:15and it's obvious
01:16:18that you two have that.
01:16:24Allow me to reintroduce myself.
01:16:28Cain Hudson,
01:16:30Stanford grad,
01:16:32founder of Ecologics.
01:16:36Claire Montgomery,
01:16:38CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:16:42Divorced.
01:16:44Well, time is of the essence.
01:16:46I never wanted to go along with the arranged marriage
01:16:48my grandfather planned.
01:16:50I choose to marry the woman
01:16:52I truly love,
01:16:54Miss Montgomery.
01:16:58Will you marry me?
01:17:00Well, Mr. Hudson,
01:17:02only there were roses here
01:17:04I might actually
01:17:06consider you.
01:17:09Surprise!
01:17:13I made it happen.
01:17:21You may now kiss your bride.
