00:00:00There's a chance, but it'll cost $500,000.
00:00:03She's a lowlife worker. She doesn't deserve to be a mom.
00:00:07Fifteen years ago, my mother, Mary Miller, disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:00:11Hey, you old hag. Is anyone there? Speak up.
00:00:13Get your filthy hands off of her.
00:00:15Half a million, and she's all yours tonight.
00:00:19My mother is missing?
00:00:21Flip this city upside down. I don't care. We're going to find my mother.
00:00:25Get away from my daughter.
00:00:27It can't be her.
00:00:30Welcome back, boss.
00:00:33That's impossible.
00:00:34She's a fraud.
00:00:35You make me sick.
00:00:37You won't live to see another day.
00:00:40I'm so sorry it took so long, mother.
00:00:41She's the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:00:44You'll all be on your knees, begging for mercy.
00:00:57Doctor, is my mom going to be okay?
00:01:08I'm sorry, Grace.
00:01:09She has a brain hemorrhage.
00:01:11With immediate surgery, there is a chance, but...
00:01:16It'll cost $500,000.
00:01:19$500,000?
00:01:20I don't have that kind of money, but Mom needs me.
00:01:24I'll find a way to get the money.
00:01:25Please, just save my mom.
00:01:27I can do that.
00:01:30Grace Miller!
00:01:32Rose!
00:01:32Well, thank God you two are here.
00:01:34Mom was working at the orphanage when she fainted, and it's going to cost $500,000.
00:01:38$500,000?
00:01:40And where are we supposed to get that?
00:01:43Call off the surgery, doc. There's no way we're paying for that.
00:01:46Rose, what are you saying?
00:01:47She's our mom.
00:01:49She adopted us. You can't do that.
00:01:50And forced us to grow up dirt poor.
00:01:52She's a low-life worker. She doesn't deserve to be a mom.
00:01:54If it wasn't for her, we could have been adopted by someone rich!
00:01:58You guys hear yourself.
00:02:00She took us in when we had nothing.
00:02:02She gave us a home.
00:02:03She made sure that we were never hungry.
00:02:05And you're just mad at her because she's not rich?
00:02:07Speaking of money, today's mom's paid it.
00:02:12This is mom's.
00:02:13Don't you dare touch it.
00:02:15No!
00:02:16No!
00:02:17No!
00:02:17No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:19No!
00:02:19No!
00:02:20No!
00:02:20No!
00:02:21No!
00:02:21No!
00:02:22No!
00:02:23No!
00:02:23No!
00:02:24No!
00:02:24No!
00:02:25No!
00:02:26No!
00:02:27No!
00:02:28No!
00:02:28No!
00:02:29No!
00:02:30No!
00:02:30No!
00:02:31No!
00:02:31No!
00:02:32No!
00:02:32Mom worked hard for that!
00:02:33Should be enough for a new iPhone, though!
00:02:35Mom needs that money for her surgery!
00:02:36You can't just take it!
00:02:37Sure we can!
00:02:38That old hag's about to die!
00:02:39Her money is ours now!
00:02:41You want money?
00:02:42Pick it up!
00:02:43No!
00:02:44No!
00:02:45Consider this our donation to mom's surgery!
00:02:57Or funeral!
00:02:59I'll save you, mom!
00:03:11I'll save you, mom!
00:03:13I can sell blood for money!
00:03:14This is the only way I might be able to save mom!
00:03:15I can sell blood for money!
00:03:16This is the only way I might be able to save mom!
00:03:20to save mom.
00:03:50I'm going to take a seat, guys.
00:03:59Mother Mary Miller disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:04:05To take a rightful place as the CEO of the Phoenix Group.
00:04:11Don't raise your son alone to build Phoenix Group.
00:04:14Now, after 15 years, she's coming back.
00:04:17Even out of the public eye, she remains a legend.
00:04:20No one can match what she built.
00:04:21So, although my mother's been living in seclusion,
00:04:24we've remained in contact over the years.
00:04:26And she's adopted three children,
00:04:28who I believe will be joining our company very soon.
00:04:31Sir, we can't find your mother.
00:04:33She isn't answering our calls.
00:04:34What? My mother is missing?
00:04:39I want to sell my blood.
00:04:41Please.
00:04:42I have an extremely rare blood type.
00:04:44Type AB negative.
00:04:46You need it, and I need money for my mother's surgery.
00:04:49Please.
00:05:08We are at 400.
00:05:10I have to stop now, or you'll pass out.
00:05:11No, no.
00:05:12Don't stop.
00:05:12I can do it.
00:05:16I just keep...
00:05:17Miss.
00:05:18Miss.
00:05:18You keep coming.

00:05:42Miss.
00:05:43Miss.
00:05:44How's my mom?
00:05:45Well, the operation was a success, but Grace, with your mother's condition,
00:05:50we're looking at some very expensive long-term care.
00:05:52Oh, I got it, Doctor.
00:05:54She's my mom.
00:05:56I won't give up on her.
00:05:58She's very lucky to have you.
00:06:00I'll go work on the list of her medication.
00:06:07You adopted me, Mom.
00:06:09You taught me what family was, love is.
00:06:14Don't worry.
00:06:15I'm not going to give up on you.
00:06:17I'm going to make sure you get better.
00:06:27I spent hours, where is Miss Miller?
00:06:29If Miss Miller says she's returning, then she will be coming back.
00:06:32Otherwise, Mr. Miller will find her.
00:06:35When she left 15 years ago, she made all of us.
00:06:38Even Mr. Miller promised never to search for her.
00:06:40Did you reach her?
00:06:43Her phone, it's completely dead.
00:06:45She'd never let that happen.
00:06:46Not on the day that she's supposed to return.
00:06:50Something's not right.
00:06:52Do whatever it takes.
00:06:54Flip this city upside down.
00:06:55I don't care.
00:06:55We're going to find my mother.
00:06:57Yes, sir.
00:06:58Yes, sir.
00:06:58One day at work here will cover three days of Mom's medication.
00:07:14Next!
00:07:15No, sir.
00:07:16I'm here to work.
00:07:17Please, if there's any opportunity that you have, I would gladly take it.
00:07:21Come on, Grace.
00:07:22Everyone knows you passed out yesterday at the hospital.
00:07:24I can't have you dying on my sight.
00:07:26I'll lose my damn job.
00:07:27No, please, please.
00:07:28I'm begging you.
00:07:29Please.
00:07:29I really need the money.
00:07:31My mom will die without it.
00:07:32But with treatment, I mean, there's a chance that she may wake up.
00:07:37But if I give up, it's over for her.
00:07:39Please.
00:07:40If I catch you slacking off one time, I won't pay you a single penny.
00:07:48Thank you so much.
00:07:49You can trust me.
00:07:49I am a hard worker.
00:07:52Next!
00:07:52Don't worry, Mom.
00:07:56I'll make enough money, and you'll get better.
00:08:16All right, time for lunch.
00:08:17And get back to work as soon as you're finished.
00:08:19Grace!
00:08:23Lucy!
00:08:24What's wrong?
00:08:24You have to get help right now, Grace.
00:08:26You're so...
00:08:27We've turned this whole house upside down.
00:08:38I can't believe the old hag doesn't even have any savings.
00:08:40Whatever.
00:08:40Just forget it.
00:08:41Let's get down to business.
00:08:42We're in here at his letter.
00:08:43You see this, Mom?
00:08:45You ruined our life at a better chance with a rich family.
00:08:49Now, with just one little stamp here, you'll give us what we deserve.
00:08:53As if this old hag...
00:08:58What are you doing?
00:09:03Mom.
00:09:04Mom, are you okay?
00:09:05You're trying to steal Mom's house?
00:09:11You can't do that.
00:09:12Mom works hard for it.
00:09:13Fine.
00:09:14If she doesn't want us to sell it, then we won't.
00:09:16Hmm?
00:09:17Go on.
00:09:18Say it.
00:09:19Say it.
00:09:20Hey, you old hag.
00:09:21Is anyone there?
00:09:22Hello?
00:09:22Can you speak up?
00:09:23Speak up!
00:09:24Get your filthy hands off of her!
00:09:27Be honest.
00:09:28You don't actually give a shit about Mom.
00:09:30You're just putting on a little show, hoping she'll magically wake up and give you everything.
00:09:34No, that's not true.
00:09:35That's...
00:09:35Oh, poor little Grace, trying so hard, and your mommy can't even see.
00:09:40If you don't want to take care of Mom, that's fine.
00:09:43I'll do it myself.
00:09:44But I'm not going to let you take anything away from her.
00:09:46Try and stop us.
00:09:48No.
00:09:54Mom?
00:09:56Mom, your finger's moving.
00:10:00But you look at that.
00:10:01She's actually losing it.
00:10:04I saw it.
00:10:05Her finger's moving.
00:10:06She's trying to tell us something.
00:10:07Mom's brain is mush.
00:10:09The only thing moving in her head are the worms eating the rest of it out.
00:10:13No.
00:10:15Oh!
00:10:15Oh!
00:10:16Oh!
00:10:25Oh!
00:10:26You stupid bitch.
00:10:27I'm tired of repeating myself.
00:10:30Mom is dying.
00:10:31Dead people don't need a house.
00:10:34You know, William and I just want the best for you, little sis.
00:10:38Say, you and the mayor's son are the same age, right?
00:10:41Mayor's daughter-in-law sounds awfully nice.
00:10:45What?
00:10:46The mayor's daughter-in-law?
00:10:48After you and the mayor's son tied the knot, we'll send that to a nursing home far, far away.
00:10:58She takes up too much space here.
00:11:00So there's the brat for my son.
00:11:09Well, son, she's the girl you said you liked, right?
00:11:13A real virgin.
00:11:14Just like me.
00:11:15All the other girls, they always run away.
00:11:18But not you.
00:11:20You'll be my first.
00:11:22Time to make you mine.
00:11:23No!
00:11:23No!
00:11:24Don't touch me!
00:11:25Don't touch me!
00:11:30You can't say no to me!
00:11:38My dad owns this town.
00:11:39Nobody says no to me.
00:11:41Look at you, acting so high and mighty.
00:11:43You're still selling your blood, aren't you?
00:11:45Just for a few pennies.
00:11:47We offer you a way out of poverty, and this is the way you repay us.
00:11:52Do you know how rich and powerful the mayor is?
00:11:55Mom's gonna die because you're too proud to spread your legs for the mayor's son.
00:11:59I'm not going to marry him.
00:12:01Ah, don't you see, Grace?
00:12:03William and I are doing this for you and Mom.
00:12:06You should be grateful.
00:12:07Half a million, and she's all yours tonight.
00:12:10Steep price for an orphan.
00:12:11I don't care, Dad!
00:12:13You promised me I can have her, and I want her.
00:12:16Give them what they want.
00:12:17You're not a grandson or not.
00:12:18She can work for us.
00:12:19That's the name.
00:12:20Ah!
00:12:21Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:12:25Glad you're doing business with you, sir.
00:12:27My sister's all yours.
00:12:28No, no, no, no, Mom!
00:12:33Mom, please!
00:12:34Don't let them take me, Mom!
00:12:53No one tells my daughter.
00:12:54No one tells my daughter.
00:12:54No one tells my daughter.
00:12:58Get away from my daughter!
00:13:10Oh, Mom!
00:13:11Thank God you're awake!
00:13:13Don't scare us like that again, okay?
00:13:15I didn't know what to do!
00:13:17Yeah, Mom.
00:13:18We're so happy to have you back.
00:13:20It looks like you know exactly what you're doing.
00:13:22Selling the house.
00:13:28No, Mom!
00:13:29You have the wrong idea!
00:13:30We were selling the house to help pay for your treatment!
00:13:33Treatment?
00:13:34You didn't even want to pay for Mom's surgery!
00:13:36Don't listen to Grace's lies, Mom!
00:13:38William and I have been working day and night to pay for your surgery!
00:13:42No, that's not true!
00:13:43I was selling my blood to pay back-
00:13:45Grace, I know you seduced the mayor's son and are about to marry into a powerful family,
00:13:49but that doesn't mean you can lie to Mom's face!
00:13:52Care of you!
00:13:54Rose and I had no choice but to sell the house!
00:13:56Enough!
00:13:57Just because I had my eyes closed doesn't mean that I didn't hear everything you said!
00:14:04And not only were you trying to just-
00:14:06What did you-
00:14:15Oh, my sweet daughter, I heard everything, everything-
00:14:21We'll make these ingrits pay for what they did to you!
00:14:31This-
00:14:31This is just a silly house, and I would have given it to you without a second thought.
00:14:37But now, after the stunt that you two pulled, you won't get anything.
00:14:50Well, William and I would have considered looking after you if you were even a moderate-
00:14:55But you're just poor!
00:14:57Do you know how goddamn embarrassing it is to call your mother?
00:15:03Embarrassing?
00:15:04When we were orphans, nobody wanted us!
00:15:07Mom gave us a home, she saved us!
00:15:09Saved us?
00:15:10I didn't choose the shitty life she offered us!
00:15:14Poor people shouldn't drag others into their suffering!
00:15:18That's not fair!
00:15:19Take it back!
00:15:21You see this, you old hag?
00:15:24We already have your signature and fingerprint on the inheritance letter.
00:15:28It's too late to stop us now.
00:15:31You're not getting anything from me.
00:15:33Not a single...
00:15:34...rent!
00:15:37Grace, do you have my phone?
00:15:40Oh, Grace.
00:15:41This is your mom's phone.
00:15:42You can keep it for now.
00:15:44Doctor, this phone is really nice.
00:15:46Are you sure it belongs to my mom?
00:15:47We took it from her pocket, right before the surgery.
00:15:49Miss Miller!
00:16:05Alexander.
00:16:06It's me.
00:16:12My mother was in danger.
00:16:13Thanks to her adopted daughter, Grace.
00:16:15She's safe in the small town.
00:16:16I'm heading over there to bring her back home.
00:16:18Someone who dares to threaten Miss Miller must be insane!
00:16:21Let us come with you, sir.
00:16:22We should all be there to welcome her back.
00:16:24And we'll show those who cross her who's bought.
00:16:30Sir, I've sent John Smith to check on your mother.
00:16:32Make sure he keeps her safe until I get there.
00:16:34These people are gonna regret up the crossing her.
00:16:36Yes, sir.
00:16:37Come and love her.
00:16:38Wait, she has another son?
00:16:39No idea who the guy is.
00:16:41I wonder where she found this guy.
00:16:42Probably fished him out of a dumpster.
00:16:44Bet he's just as pathetic as she is.
00:16:46Another worthless charity case.
00:16:48Stop it!
00:16:49That's your brother you're talking about!
00:16:51Relax, Grace.
00:16:53Soon they'll be on their knees, begging for forgiveness.
00:16:57Who do you think you are, you old hag?
00:16:59Some kind of superhero?
00:17:00The mayor is related to Mr. Smith.
00:17:03The man who transformed the Sterling Corp into the Phoenix Group's biggest subsidiary.
00:17:07He can make any person disappear.
00:17:10And guess what?
00:17:11They just called them about Gregory's wedding.
00:17:14He should be here at any moment.
00:17:16Mr. Smith?
00:17:17You mean John?
00:17:18Speaking as if she knows him personally.
00:17:20The man controls billions.
00:17:22The nerve on this woman.
00:17:24Let me explain something to you.
00:17:26Phoenix Group isn't just some company.
00:17:28They own everything.
00:17:30They're untouchable gods among men.
00:17:33She'll probably think Phoenix Group is just some bird-watching club.
00:17:37Mark my words.
00:17:39You'll all be on your knees, begging for mercy.
00:17:43And when John Smith gets here, he's gonna be trembling in his boots.
00:17:59Mr. Smith has important business to attend to.
00:18:01Starting now, all roads headed to the town are closed off.
00:18:04I heard Mr. Smith has barely been seen in public ever since Ms. Miller went into hiding.
00:18:08Wow, if Mr. Smith is going out like this, he must be doing business with a really important person.
00:18:13I never thought I'd ever meet Ms. Miller in person.
00:18:15This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
00:18:18She's the pride of the city.
00:18:20But sir, we don't even have a photo of her.
00:18:22We don't know what she looks like.
00:18:23I have other matters to attend to in that town anyway.
00:18:25Let's move out.
00:18:26We'll grab the photo later.
00:18:31Wait, you think Mr. Smith will kneel before someone like you?
00:18:35Oh, don't make me laugh.
00:18:38Oh, she's completely delusional.
00:18:41Enough.
00:18:42I won't stand here and let you insult my mother like this.
00:18:46Know your place and shut up, you stupid.
00:18:48Just like you.
00:18:49Oh, how amusing.
00:19:05just like you
00:19:10oh how amusing
00:19:13you think that you can
00:19:15you can buy me off
00:19:17I would love to see you try
00:19:19word is Miss Miller has an adoptive daughter
00:19:25Grace that's been taking care of her
00:19:27without her we might not see Miss Miller again
00:19:29Miss Grace Miller must be someone special
00:19:31there aren't a lot of daughters like her out there
00:19:33it's me
00:19:35make sure to arrange an exceptional gift for Miss Miller
00:19:38and prepare something special for Grace Miller
00:19:40only the best for the girl that saved Miss Miller

00:19:57okay I don't want anyone seeing my mother

00:28:16I said on your knees!
00:28:23Are you all deaf?
00:28:25Get on your knees!
00:28:27Mr. Smith, what's this all about?
00:28:29Are you not feeling well?
00:28:31What did this brain-dead bitch do to him?
00:28:33Get away before whatever's running in her head spreads!
00:28:37Mr. Smith, what are you doing?
00:28:39I'm warning you, do not disrespect this woman.
00:28:45She is.
00:28:47She is.
00:28:47She is nothing but a pathetic waste of space.
00:28:50She can't even stand on her own two feet.
00:28:53Her brain is riding away and she doesn't have a penny to her name.
00:28:56Are you seriously going to defend this old witch?
00:29:03Looks like you remember me now, John.
00:29:05Why don't you tell everyone else who I am?
00:29:07Go ahead.
00:29:09Address him as Mr. Smith, you disrespectful old hag.
00:29:15Mr. Smith, we never wanted her as her mother.
00:29:18We've already cut ties with this woman.
00:29:20We don't support her behavior at all.
00:29:23Please, don't punish us for her actions.
00:29:25I understand you're upset, Mr. Smith.
00:29:28Let me remove this worthless woman.
00:29:30Ah!
00:29:32Ah!
00:29:34Leave!
00:29:35All of you!
00:29:38Mr. Smith, why are you protecting her?
00:29:40She's beneath you!
00:29:41Mr. Smith, please!
00:29:43We're family!
00:29:44Family?
00:29:45You're just distant relatives.
00:29:47The only reason I maintain contact with you
00:29:50is because someone told me to never forget where I came from
00:29:52and that someone was her.
00:29:55She helped me build Sterling Core from nothing.
00:30:04John, return my daughter to me
00:30:06and we'll discuss your actions later.
00:30:09Yes, Miss Moore.
00:30:09Yeah!
00:30:21Mom!
00:30:21No one will ever hurt you again, okay?
00:30:26Who the hell are you?
00:30:28On behalf of Sterling Core,
00:30:36I formally welcome you back to Phoenix Group.
00:30:39Welcome back, boss.
00:30:42She's the CEO of Phoenix Group?
00:30:49Phoenix Group CEO.
00:30:51Huh, that's impossible.
00:30:53There must be some mistake.
00:30:54This old hag doesn't even have money.
00:30:56Just look at her.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:30:58The richest CEO in the country
00:30:59wearing bargain bin clothes,
00:31:01working at an orphanage,
00:31:02and living in this dump, please!
00:31:04Do you even hear yourself?
00:31:06If it wasn't for Miss Miller living a modest life,
00:31:08you'd still be orphans,
00:31:09you ungrateful brats!
00:31:13And you,
00:31:14you must be...
00:31:15You must be afraid.
00:31:19You're Miss Miller's daughter
00:31:19and the only one who protects you.
00:31:23If anyone tries to harm you,
00:31:26they'll pay the price.
00:31:26Marry this man.
00:31:39There's no way!
00:31:40My parents paid good money for you,
00:31:42so you belong to me now!
00:31:43Your mother can run into nursing home
00:31:45for all I care!
00:31:46Nobody touches my daughter!
00:31:47John, break his wrist!
00:31:50John, break his wrist!
00:31:52Mr. Smith, please don't do this!
00:31:59Please, he's our only son!
00:32:00Please, he's only God!
00:32:02You love your son like I love my daughter,
00:32:05and yet you let him terrorize Grace,
00:32:07and you didn't say anything.
00:32:09And now you want to apologize?
00:32:12It's too late.
00:32:13But your daughter is fine!
00:32:15Do you really have to do this?
00:32:17If I let this go today,
00:32:19then you'll keep terrorizing those weaker than you,
00:32:21like my daughter.
00:32:22So today there will be a lesson
00:32:23for not only your son,
00:32:25but for everyone else.
00:32:26Mark my words.
00:32:29Who do you think you are
00:32:30barking at my parents and brother?
00:32:32Middle-
00:32:33Brittany, my sweet daughter.
00:32:38Thanks under control.
00:32:43Did you forget?
00:32:59What are you talking about?
00:33:00Just because you're dating Alexander's lapdog
00:33:02doesn't mean you can run your mouth
00:33:03and spread lies.
00:33:08She wants me to invite
00:33:22Miss Mary Miller to her party.
00:33:26Included even her own son
00:33:28can't see her whenever he wants.
00:33:30Expect her to agree to meet your girlfriend.
00:33:34Wait.
00:33:35What if you pretend to be her?
00:33:37Nobody even knows
00:33:39what she looks like
00:33:40outside of the board, anyway.
00:33:41Pretend to be CEO
00:33:43for my girlfriend's birthday party,
00:33:45and I'll get working on that promotion
00:33:46that you've been wanting for years.
00:33:50Oh, yeah?
00:33:52Hmm.
00:33:53Fine.
00:33:54I'll do it.
00:33:56Young lady,
00:33:57I don't know who your family is,
00:34:00but you better believe
00:34:01that I could destroy them
00:34:02with one phone call.
00:34:03Everyone here sees that
00:34:05you're just broke
00:34:06and delusional.
00:34:08Cut the act,
00:34:09you widowed hag!
00:34:12Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:34:14I'm going to have my boyfriend
00:34:15expose you for the fraud
00:34:17you really are.
00:34:18Brittany.
00:34:29I'm on my way.
00:34:30My mother's coming back
00:34:31to the Phoenix group today,
00:34:32so I want you guys to get her
00:34:33something absolutely spectacular, okay?
00:34:35It's time to show the city
00:34:36who's really been behind our success.
00:34:39Also, I want you to get some
00:34:39for that girl.
00:34:41The one that she adopted.
00:34:42It's been taking care of her.
00:34:43She's my sister now,
00:34:44so get her something grand as well.
00:34:48Boss,
00:34:49is everything okay?
00:34:50I need you to do something for me.
00:34:52About Brittany.
00:34:53Someone causing your girlfriend trouble?
00:34:55Don't worry.
00:34:56I'll handle it.
00:34:57I'll make them beg for mercy
00:34:58for what they've done.
00:34:59Take her right here.
00:35:01Gotta handle something for Sean.
00:35:02Yes, sir.
00:35:07Hear that?
00:35:08My daughter's boyfriend
00:35:09is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:35:11He's one of Phoenix group's
00:35:12rising stars.
00:35:13You picked the wrong people
00:35:14to mess with.
00:35:15You're done for.
00:35:16Thank God we cut ties
00:35:18with you, you crazy old witch.
00:35:19You almost gave me
00:35:20a heart attack, you old hag.
00:35:22Turns out you were
00:35:23a fraud all along.
00:35:24You.
00:35:26Who would have thought
00:35:27our daughter would end up
00:35:29dating Alexander's
00:35:30right-hand man?
00:35:31When her boyfriend gets here,
00:35:32we're going to strip you
00:35:34and your daughter naked
00:35:35and throw you into the street.
00:35:37Let everyone see
00:35:37how we treat liars like you.
00:35:39I'm afraid you're in
00:35:40for quite a disappointment.
00:35:43Still acting tough?
00:35:44You really are shameless.
00:35:46Mom.
00:35:47John, handle this right now.
00:35:49She's scaring my daughter.
00:35:51Yes, Miss Miller.
00:36:00I'm sorry.
00:36:01I'm sorry.
00:36:02I'm sorry.
00:36:03Back off, John.
00:36:04You're just some
00:36:05low-level manager.
00:36:06My boyfriend will destroy
00:36:07your career if you touch me.
00:36:09Did you just hit me?
00:36:15Not bad for an old hag.
00:36:16I get it now, John.
00:36:18You're siding with this hag
00:36:19because she crawled
00:36:20into your bed.
00:36:21You disgusting little...
00:36:23Oh, did I hit her nerve?
00:36:25Just wait until
00:36:26my boyfriend gets here.
00:36:27I'm going to tell him
00:36:28that you hit me
00:36:29for this old slut.
00:36:30You're dead.
00:36:31You really think
00:36:33your boyfriend
00:36:34is that important
00:36:35to me?
00:36:36He's nothing.
00:36:39Like, he doesn't even
00:36:40deserve to clean
00:36:41the dirt off my shoes.
00:36:43Nobody insults
00:36:44Mr. Sean Parker
00:36:45and lives to talk about it.
00:36:47Mike?
00:36:48Why are you alone?
00:36:49Where's Sean?
00:36:50Relax, Miss.
00:36:51Sean and Miss Miller
00:36:52have more important matters
00:36:53than dealing with trash.
00:36:55So, who's been causing
00:36:56trouble for my boss's girlfriend?
00:36:58It was this piece
00:36:59of garbage right here.
00:37:00She said that
00:37:01Mr. Sean Parker
00:37:02didn't deserve
00:37:06Miss Miller?
00:37:14Miss Miller?
00:37:16Old hag.
00:37:17You've got some nerve
00:37:18pretending to be
00:37:19Miss Miller.
00:37:20Open your eyes.
00:37:23And I'm the
00:37:24Queen of England.
00:37:26Tell you what.
00:37:30Tattoo fool
00:37:30on my forehead.
00:37:33Nice performance, John.
00:37:34Good thing I met
00:37:35the real CEO
00:37:36at Brittany's birthday party
00:37:37or I might have fallen
00:37:38for your little act.
00:37:39I don't know
00:37:40who you think you met
00:37:41but that was not
00:37:41the CEO.
00:37:43If my mom really lied
00:37:44it was to protect me
00:37:45from being forced
00:37:46to marry the mayor's son.
00:37:48But if she isn't
00:37:49the CEO of Phoenix Group
00:37:50then I apologize.
00:37:53Just please
00:37:53don't hurt my mother.
00:37:56Well,
00:37:57what do we have here?
00:37:58Quite the pretty little thing.
00:38:01Since you're such
00:38:01a good daughter
00:38:02I'll let this slide.
00:38:04under one condition
00:38:06marry the mayor's son
00:38:09and I'll forgive
00:38:14your mother's lies.
00:38:14Grace,
00:38:15don't listen to this fool.
00:38:18Mom,
00:38:19I never thought
00:38:21that I would have
00:38:22a real family
00:38:22and then you adopted me
00:38:25and
00:38:25you gave me everything
00:38:28love,
00:38:29protection,
00:38:30a life.
00:38:31I owe you
00:38:33everything.
00:38:35So if
00:38:36so if marrying
00:38:38the mayor's son
00:38:39will protect you
00:38:40then I'll do it.
00:38:47Back off
00:38:48while you still can.
00:38:49If you hurt Grace
00:38:50or cross Miss Miller
00:38:51you'll pay the price.
00:38:52Look at you,
00:38:53John.
00:38:54Completely entangled
00:38:55in this fraud spell.
00:38:56You know what's
00:38:57going to happen
00:38:57today,
00:38:58John?
00:38:58Huh?
00:38:59The real
00:38:59Miss Miller
00:39:00is returning
00:39:01to Phoenix Group.
00:39:02When Alexander
00:39:03finds out
00:39:03you're helping
00:39:05some imposter
00:39:06you're finished.
00:39:08Miss Miller's

00:39:12being Mr. Miller's
00:39:13assistant
00:39:13surely you'll meet
00:39:15Miss Miller.
00:39:16Oh,
00:39:17please
00:39:17let me come with you.
00:39:18I'd do anything
00:39:20to see Miss Miller.
00:39:22Miss Miller
00:39:22is a very private person.
00:39:24Most employees
00:39:25haven't even seen her.
00:39:27Well,
00:39:27I guess I could
00:39:28let you see her
00:39:29from a distance.
00:39:31Now then,
00:39:32time to deal
00:39:33with our
00:39:34little problem.
00:39:36Can't have these
00:39:37frauds
00:39:37causing trouble
00:39:38on such an important
00:39:39day.
00:39:42You fool!
00:39:43This woman
00:39:43is the real
00:39:44CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:39:46Mr. Miller
00:39:46sent me her photo.
00:39:47It's right here.
00:39:51It's right here.
00:39:52A photo?
00:39:56That can't prove
00:39:57anything.
00:39:57Anyone could
00:39:58think that
00:39:58using AI.
00:39:59With AI these days
00:40:00you can make
00:40:01any photo you want.
00:40:02You can't fool us.
00:40:04Look at her.
00:40:05She's just a pathetic
00:40:06nothing.
00:40:07Faking photos
00:40:08to play CEO?
00:40:09God,
00:40:10never seen anyone
00:40:11so desperate.
00:40:12What happened
00:40:12to all that talk
00:40:13about honesty
00:40:14and respect
00:40:15as we grew up,
00:40:16Mom?
00:40:16What does that not
00:40:17apply to an old hag
00:40:18like you?
00:40:18You are good-looking
00:40:20for your age.
00:40:23No wonder
00:40:23you've got John
00:40:24wrapped around
00:40:25your finger,
00:40:26you witch.
00:40:27Shut your damn mouth!
00:40:28Stay away from her,
00:40:29you monster!
00:40:33Good thing
00:40:33we've got some time
00:40:34on our hands anyway
00:40:35and broke.
00:40:37Single moms

00:40:38kind of thing.
00:40:42A feisty one,
00:40:43huh?
00:40:44Just the way
00:40:45I like it.
00:40:48You sure

00:40:58location?
00:40:59The coordinates
00:41:00let us here,
00:41:00sir.
00:41:01The mayor
00:41:01will know
00:41:01where she is.
00:41:03This is perfect.
00:41:04The mayor's
00:41:04about to see
00:41:05his future son-in-law
00:41:06working right beside
00:41:07the great
00:41:07Alexander Miller.
00:41:09This couldn't
00:41:09be better.
00:41:10Well, then
00:41:10what are we waiting
00:41:10for?
00:41:11Let's go find the mayor.
00:41:13Yes, sir.
00:41:18Oh, this is
00:41:20private property.
00:41:21You can't show-
00:41:21That is Alexander Miller
00:41:22of the Phoenix Group
00:41:23that you're speaking to.
00:41:25Where is the mayor?
00:41:26I need him to find
00:41:27my mother.
00:41:29Alexander Miller?
00:41:30It is an honor
00:41:31to meet you.
00:41:32We did not expect
00:41:33you to show up
00:41:34at this wedding celebration.
00:41:35Wait a second.
00:41:36The wedding?
00:41:37Yes, the mayor's
00:41:38son's getting married.
00:41:39We didn't realize
00:41:40someone with your
00:41:41VIP status
00:41:41would be here.
00:41:43I didn't realize
00:41:44the mayor
00:41:44had such great connection.
00:41:45Right?
00:41:46Oh, that old woman
00:41:47will now regret
00:41:48not marrying her daughter
00:41:50into the mayor's family.
00:41:51Can you believe that?
00:41:52That dead, broke vegetable?
00:41:54She acts all
00:41:54high and mighty,
00:41:56but you know what?
00:41:57That girl's not even
00:41:57really her daughter.
00:41:59She's adopted.
00:42:00That woman.
00:42:02Is she a single mother
00:42:03to three orphans?
00:42:05That's her, right?
00:42:06But don't worry, sir, okay?
00:42:08The mayor has this town
00:42:09under control,
00:42:10and you know what?
00:42:11He's gonna teach
00:42:11that old hat.
00:42:12Oh!
00:42:14What did you just call her?
00:42:16That woman
00:42:17you just insulted
00:42:18is my mother,
00:42:20the CEO
00:42:20of the Phoenix Group.
00:42:22CEO of the Phoenix Group?
00:42:24That can't be.
00:42:26Pick that piece of shit up
00:42:28and have him
00:42:28take us to my mother.
00:42:29Yes, sir.
00:42:34You will regret
00:42:35every word that you said
00:42:36about the Miller family.
00:42:37Once Miss Miller
00:42:38comes back,
00:42:39her daughter Grace
00:42:40will be a part
00:42:40of the Phoenix family.
00:42:42If you think
00:42:43the mayor's son
00:42:44can marry
00:42:44some of her stature,
00:42:45you're delusional.
00:42:47I want to meet
00:42:48this mayor myself.
00:42:50The audacity
00:42:50to treat Miss Miller
00:42:51and her daughter
00:42:52like this?
00:42:55Oh,
00:42:56I need to warn
00:42:57the mayor.
00:42:59Just the way
00:43:00I like it.
00:43:02How dare you
00:43:03talk to Miss Miller
00:43:04like that?
00:43:05Ah!
00:43:09John,
00:43:09is she once
00:43:09a real man now,
00:43:10John?
00:43:10By the time
00:43:11I'm done with her,
00:43:12she won't be
00:43:12moving that wheelchair
00:43:13anymore.
00:43:14Your problem
00:43:14is with me.
00:43:16Sterling Corp
00:43:16protects her on
00:43:17and we will die
00:43:18defending our boss.
00:43:20You must be giving
00:43:23John something
00:43:23real special.
00:43:24Why else would he
00:43:25risk everything
00:43:26with Phoenix
00:43:26to back up
00:43:27your pathetic lies?
00:43:28You won't live
00:43:29to see another day.
00:43:31Then I better
00:43:31make the most of now.
00:43:36Please,
00:43:36stop!
00:43:38Everyone,
00:43:38stop!
00:43:39Stop!
00:43:40What is it?
00:43:42Can't you see
00:43:42we're busy?
00:43:43That woman
00:43:43you're threatening
00:43:44she...
00:43:44She...
00:43:45That woman
00:43:47you're threatening
00:43:48she...
00:43:49She's nothing
00:43:50but an old widow.
00:43:52This is our town.
00:43:53We know what we're doing.
00:43:54Right.
00:43:55Especially with
00:43:56Alexander's people
00:43:56on our side.
00:43:58The sky could fall
00:43:59right now
00:43:59and I'm still
00:44:00going to have
00:44:00my fun with you.
00:44:01Yeah?
00:44:03Well,
00:44:03when it falls,
00:44:04you'll be the first
00:44:05one to crumble.
00:44:06This is Phoenix
00:44:08Group's turf
00:44:08and I'm Sean Parker's
00:44:09right-hand man.
00:44:10Your precious boss
00:44:11should be on your knees
00:44:12before me.
00:44:13Just because you're
00:44:13some assistant's lap dog
00:44:15it doesn't mean
00:44:16you're untouchable.
00:44:18Why don't you just
00:44:18make the call?
00:44:20Then we'll see
00:44:20how untouchable
00:44:22you really are.
00:44:23What's wrong?
00:44:24Are you getting nervous?
00:44:25Who could she possibly call?
00:44:27It's not like she has
00:44:28Alexander on speed dial.
00:44:32Let her make the call.
00:44:33I want to see
00:44:34who this pathetic widow
00:44:35runs to for help.
00:44:38Go ahead.
00:44:38Show us these powerful
00:44:39connections of yours.
00:44:40Stop!
00:44:42Don't let her
00:44:42make the call!
00:44:45Stop!
00:44:45Don't let her
00:44:46make the call!
00:44:47Shut your
00:44:48worthless mouth!
00:44:50You have no right
00:44:50to speak here!
00:44:52Afraid of a little
00:44:52phone call?
00:44:54That's Mike
00:44:54from Phoenix Group.
00:44:55No one in the city
00:44:57dares cross her.
00:44:59But, but, but,
00:45:00she...
00:45:00But, but, but,
00:45:02can't even form a sentence?
00:45:03What, you think
00:45:04this nobody's gonna call
00:45:05the Alexander Miller?
00:45:07Not another word.
00:45:08You're wasting our time.
00:45:09I need to get ready
00:45:10to meet the real
00:45:11Miss Miller later
00:45:12when she returns
00:45:13to the company.
00:45:14Brittany's right.
00:45:15We're about to welcome back
00:45:16the great Miss Miller.
00:45:17Nothing's changing that.
00:45:19Don't say I didn't
00:45:20give you a chance.
00:45:22Make your call,
00:45:22you fraud.
00:45:23You fraud.
00:45:25Who's this?
00:45:33Mother?
00:45:39I can't believe
00:45:40they do this.
00:45:41Look, Mom,
00:45:42I got this.
00:45:42Don't worry, don't worry.
00:45:43I'm gonna handle this, okay?
00:45:44I know exactly what to do.
00:45:48So, you're this old
00:45:49hag's emergency contact.
00:45:51Guess what?
00:45:51You're screwed
00:45:52because my boyfriend
00:45:53is Sean Parker.
00:45:55Mr. Miller's right-hand man.
00:45:58Sean is your boyfriend, huh?
00:45:59Are you deaf or dumb?
00:46:01And how dare you
00:46:01refer to Sean
00:46:02by his first name?
00:46:03He is Alexander Miller's
00:46:05right-hand man.
00:46:06So watch yourself.
00:46:07Brittany, you're speaking
00:46:08to Alexander Miller himself.
00:46:10Well, you're gonna find out
00:46:11soon enough.
00:46:12My boyfriend
00:46:12is Alexander Miller's man.
00:46:14He is going to destroy you.
00:46:17What?
00:46:18You wanna talk
00:46:19to Mike Hanson?
00:46:23How does your contact
00:46:24know my name?
00:46:26Talk to him.
00:46:27I know.
00:46:27What happened, Mike?
00:46:29You scared to answer the phone?
00:46:30Shut up!
00:46:31Sean has my back.
00:46:32Why would I be scared
00:46:33of some loser
00:46:34of this hag call?
00:46:36Who are you?
00:46:37How the hell
00:46:37do you know my name?
00:46:38The signals are always bad here.
00:46:46We need to get to my mother
00:46:46in five minutes.
00:46:47Let's go.
00:46:47Move.
00:46:48Come on.
00:46:49Yes, sir.
00:46:49Yes, sir.
00:46:52You really had me fooled
00:46:53for a second there.
00:46:54I thought your friend
00:46:55was someone important.
00:46:56Turns out,
00:46:57he's just a coward.
00:46:58Couldn't even speak
00:46:59when he heard my voice.
00:47:00Couldn't say a word.
00:47:02Atheatic.
00:47:02Mike's scared and speechless.
00:47:04Not so tough now,
00:47:06are you?
00:47:07You were, uh,
00:47:08clever.
00:47:09I'll give you that.
00:47:12I don't know
00:47:13how you managed
00:47:13to tell that friend
00:47:14of yours my name,
00:47:15but, uh,
00:47:16who cares?
00:47:18He's a spineless coward
00:47:19who can't even talk to me,
00:47:21let alone touch me.
00:47:22Stay away from her!
00:47:23That's right!
00:47:39Teach her all I see!
00:47:51They'll be slotted.
00:47:53You make me sick!
00:47:56What?
00:48:04It came from over there!
00:48:08The mayor's family
00:48:08is finished.
00:48:17Shame.
00:48:19Should have been
00:48:19a kill shot.
00:48:20You just burnt
00:48:23your last...
00:48:24He's punishing
00:48:27a couple troublemakers.
00:48:29Is that a crime?
00:48:35He'd be better
00:48:36than John ever could.
00:48:37Did you have
00:48:51another nightmare?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:48:55You know I'm always
00:48:57here to protect you, right?
00:49:00I'm so sorry
00:49:01you have to go through that.
00:49:02Mom,
00:49:05this time
00:49:07I'll protect you.
00:49:14Mom!
00:49:16It's your fault
00:49:17that we're in this mess.
00:49:18Just marry my brother
00:49:19like a good little girl
00:49:20and we'll let your mother go!
00:49:22Yeah,
00:49:23we offered you
00:49:24a better life
00:49:24and this is how
00:49:25you repay us.
00:49:26Some people
00:49:27just need their
00:49:28gratitude
00:49:28beaten into them.
00:49:31Please,
00:49:31I'm begging you.
00:49:32Don't hurt my mom.
00:49:33Let her go
00:49:34and I'll marry Gregory,
00:49:35I swear!
00:49:37Well,
00:49:37that's better.
00:49:40Ew!
00:49:40Ugh!
00:49:49You've had your fun.
00:49:50Wrap it up.
00:49:50Such a shame.
00:49:53I was just getting started.
00:49:55When I'm done with you,
00:49:56you're gonna regret
00:49:57you were ever born.
00:49:59Still making threats?
00:50:00An old hag like you
00:50:02should be grateful
00:50:02I even want to touch you.
00:50:03If Brittany
00:50:04hadn't interrupted,
00:50:07we'd be having
00:50:09some real fun right now.
00:50:11Having fun with who?
00:50:12What?
00:50:20Who is he?
00:50:29Is that some entrance?
00:50:30Look at those clothes.
00:50:31Must be connected
00:50:32to the mayor.
00:50:35Oh, my son,
00:50:36he's done.
00:50:45Mom.
00:50:47Is...
00:50:47Is that really
00:50:49Miss Miller?
00:50:49We're at quite
00:50:51the entourage, baby.
00:50:52All this back up
00:50:53just your little old me?
00:50:55Brittany,
00:50:55you don't understand.
00:50:57This is, um,
00:50:57Alexander Miller.
00:50:59I didn't think
00:50:59you'd come here yourself.
00:51:01Alexander who?
00:51:02Alexander Miller?
00:51:04That's Alexander Miller?
00:51:06Miss Miller's son?
00:51:11Shit.
00:51:12That's Alexander Miller?
00:51:14He's even dreamier
00:51:15in person.
00:51:17Sir,
00:51:17that woman
00:51:18is delusional.
00:51:19She claims
00:51:20she's your mother,
00:51:21the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:51:22Sir,
00:51:23it's my son's wedding today.
00:51:25We would be honored
00:51:26if you could attend
00:51:27the reception
00:51:27after you meet
00:51:29with the real Miss Miller.
00:51:31It's an honor
00:51:31to meet you, sir.
00:51:32I'm Sean's girlfriend,
00:51:34the mayor's daughter.
00:51:35You can call me Brittany.
00:51:37If you need anything
00:51:38in this town,
00:51:38my family is at your service.
00:51:42Ah!
00:51:42Brittany,
00:51:43shut up.
00:51:44What?
00:51:45It's not every day
00:51:45you meet
00:51:46the Alexander Miller.
00:51:48Also,
00:51:48think about it.
00:51:49If Miss Miller
00:51:50comes to my brother's
00:51:51wedding party, too,
00:51:52we'll be the talk
00:51:53of the town.
00:51:54If you want to invite
00:51:55my mother to your party,
00:51:57why don't you ask it yourself?
00:51:58Oh,
00:51:58what a brilliant idea.
00:52:00If you would be so kind
00:52:01as to lead us to her.
00:52:02There's no need for that.
00:52:04My mother is here
00:52:05right now.
00:52:11Where is she?
00:52:12Sir,
00:52:16are you playing
00:52:17some kind of trick on us?
00:52:19I don't see
00:52:19Miss Miller anywhere.
00:52:21I would certainly
00:52:21recognize her
00:52:22if she was in my town.
00:52:23Well,
00:52:24of course he would.
00:52:25Nothing happens here
00:52:26without the mayor
00:52:26knowing about it.
00:52:28Are you suggesting
00:52:29I wouldn't recognize
00:52:29my own mother?
00:52:33If what you're saying
00:52:34is true,
00:52:35when did she come
00:52:36to our town?
00:52:37Fifteen years ago.
00:52:38My mother came here
00:52:39to live in seclusion
00:52:40after she stepped down
00:52:42as the Phoenix CEO.
00:52:44Fifteen years ago?
00:52:46That's not possible.
00:53:00You've gone so old.
00:53:06You're a beautiful man now.
00:53:12Phoenix Coop CEO?
00:53:17Impossible.
00:53:22She's really
00:53:23Miss Miller?
00:53:24Phoenix Coop CEO?
00:53:25There has to be
00:53:27some mistake.
00:53:28She's nothing
00:53:29but a filthy woman
00:53:30who works
00:53:31for the orphanage.
00:53:32That sucker
00:53:33could not possibly
00:53:34be the real
00:53:34Miss Miller.
00:53:38Miss Miller,
00:53:39please excuse
00:53:40my girlfriend's
00:53:41disgraceful behavior.
00:53:44I take full responsibility.
00:53:46Punish me
00:53:46as you see fit.
00:53:47Our adopted mother
00:53:48is the famous
00:53:49Miss Miller?
00:53:53What have we done?
00:53:57A moment,
00:53:57mother.
00:53:59Are you Grace?
00:54:02Take care,
00:54:02mother.
00:54:05I'm the analyst.
00:54:05Now it's time
00:54:09for you all
00:54:10to explain
00:54:10yourselves.
00:54:17This is all
00:54:18a misunderstanding.
00:54:20Miller!
00:54:21Miller!
00:54:23Apologize
00:54:24to my mother!
00:54:25Now!
00:54:25Now!
00:54:28Miss Miller,
00:54:29I beg of you.
00:54:30I'm sorry.
00:54:31I'm so, so sorry!
00:54:33You're only apologizing
00:54:34now because
00:54:35you know who I am.
00:54:36As I said,
00:54:38you would regret
00:54:38being born.
00:54:40Guards,
00:54:41get him out of my sight.
00:54:42Make sure you never
00:54:43see a shady city
00:54:44again.
00:54:47Sean,
00:54:48if that's the real
00:54:49Miss Miller,
00:54:49then who did you
00:54:50invite to my
00:54:50birthday dinner?
00:54:52Tell her.
00:54:53Tell her she's
00:54:54never really met me.
00:54:55Tell her that I'm
00:54:56the real CEO
00:54:57of Phoenix Group.
00:55:02You thought you
00:55:05actually deserved
00:55:06to see the real
00:55:06Miss Miller?
00:55:07It was just some
00:55:08employee that I
00:55:08paid to pretend.
00:55:09I didn't think
00:55:10you'd be stupid
00:55:11enough to not
00:55:12notice.
00:55:12And now,
00:55:13look at the
00:55:13trouble you've
00:55:14caused.
00:55:17Miss Miller,
00:55:18this worthless
00:55:19girl has caused
00:55:20nothing but trouble.
00:55:21I'll kill her
00:55:21myself if you'll
00:55:22forgive me.
00:55:23Someone like you
00:55:24doesn't even
00:55:25deserve to work
00:55:26at the Phoenix
00:55:26Group.
00:55:27Remove him!
00:55:28Oh!
00:55:30Oh!
00:55:32Miss Miller,
00:55:34we were wrong.
00:55:37We'll never do
00:55:37anything like this
00:55:38again.
00:55:39Please,
00:55:40have mercy.
00:55:42Forgive us
00:55:42just this once.
00:55:44You all tortured
00:55:45people for years.
00:55:47If I was to
00:55:48forgive you,
00:55:49you would go on
00:55:50and continue to
00:55:51hurt innocent
00:55:51people.
00:55:52Take them away.
00:55:53Deal with them
00:55:53awardingly.
00:55:55Take them away!
00:55:56Take them away!
00:55:57No, I...
00:55:58Ah!
00:55:59Ah!
00:56:00Ah!

00:59:31Victoria?
00:59:33Long time no see, bestie.
00:59:38Well, what's going on here?
00:59:41What does it look like?
00:59:43Best friend?
00:59:47But...
00:59:51When you came back.
00:59:52Oh, he did get a ring.
00:59:54Just not for you, loser.
01:00:00Someone worthy of him.
01:00:02A proper match.
01:00:06Your useless poor mother who can't possibly help...
01:00:11There's a secretary at Phoenix Group.
01:00:14And she got Nathan the regional manager position at the company.
01:00:17Things change when you have the right connections.
01:00:20Isn't that right, sweetie?
01:00:23So that's why you chose my best friend over me?
01:00:26How could you both do this to me?
01:00:28Shut your mouth.
01:00:29Oh, honey.
01:00:30Save yourself the humiliation and leave.
01:00:33You don't belong here.
01:00:35Everything's set.
01:00:36City's most powerful leader here to meet Grace.
01:00:38I'm sorry.
01:00:40I'm sorry.
01:00:42I'm sorry.
01:00:44I'm sorry.
01:00:46I'm sorry.
01:00:48I'm sorry.
01:00:49I'm sorry.
01:00:50I'm sorry.
01:00:51I'm sorry.
01:00:52I'm sorry.
01:00:53I'm sorry.
01:00:54I'm sorry.
01:00:55I'm sorry.
01:00:56I'm sorry.
01:00:57I'm sorry.
01:00:58Grace deserves this moment.
01:01:04After tonight, everyone will know that she's the heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:01:15Wait, what?
01:01:16Someone's causing trouble to my sister.
01:01:18Did you honestly think you could compete with me?
01:01:23You're just the daughter of some poor crazy woman who can't even walk.
01:01:29And that dress.
01:01:31What'd you do?
01:01:32Steal it?
01:01:33Trash like you could never afford a dress like that.
01:01:35You probably borrowed it to pretend she's not poor.
01:01:39Just like her mother.
01:01:40Pretend to be someone she's not.
01:01:41Let me return it to whatever store you stole it from.
01:01:48Mom!
01:01:51Mom!
01:02:00Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:02:01Your mother will always protect you now, okay?
01:02:12How dare you throw wine on my future daughter-in-law!
01:02:15How disgusting!
01:02:16This is why poor people like her have no business at events like this.
01:02:20And who might you be?
01:02:22I'm Nathan's father.
01:02:23Bill Carter.
01:02:24And I am his mother, Helen.
01:02:26So your son is the young man that my daughter was interested in?
01:02:32Just as I suspect.
01:02:34He's not worthy of my daughter.
01:02:37Who are you to talk down to my son like that?
01:02:39Our son is the perfect match any girl could hope for.
01:02:43Oh, really?
01:02:44The three heirs of the largest corporation?
01:02:56Only Phoenix Group is above them.
01:02:58What are they doing here?
01:03:02I'm James Bryan from the Sterling International Group.
01:03:05It's an honor to meet you, Grace.
01:03:07Grace, would you be honored to meet me at the dinner bar sometimes?
01:03:10I would love to take a travel with me when you can.
01:03:13My schedule is completely open.
01:03:16I...
01:03:17Sweetheart.
01:03:18Don't be afraid.
01:03:20You really do deserve someone better.
01:03:23Grace, these are some of the finest young men in the city.
01:03:26And if none of them are to your desire,
01:03:28they're CEOs, they're entrepreneurs, and they're architects eager to meet you.
01:03:33What's going on?
01:03:34Why are all these rich men surrounding trash like you?
01:03:37You pathetic whore!
01:03:39Since when do you know people with real money?
01:03:40You manipulative, little slut!
01:03:44What other secrets are you hiding?
01:03:46Who?
01:03:48You think you're good enough to touch my sister?
01:03:53Did you just say...
01:03:55Sister?
01:03:57I thought you said she was an orphan!
01:03:59How can she be Alexander's sister?
01:04:03Alexander?
01:04:05Surely there's been some sort of mistake.
01:04:06And who exactly do you think you are to question me?
01:04:10Alexander?
01:04:12You must be confused.
01:04:13Grace is nothing but a worthless orphan.
01:04:17It's true!
01:04:18She's nothing but trash!
01:04:22She's garbage!
01:04:23Nothing but garbage!
01:04:30Who?
01:04:32Who are you?
01:04:36Since you're so desperate to find out who my daughter is...
01:04:42And you!
01:04:44You will see exactly...
01:04:51...of Phoenix Group...
01:04:53Ms. Miller!
01:04:54She...
01:05:16She...
01:05:17She can't be!
01:05:19The...
01:05:21CEO of the Phoenix Group?
01:05:27Thank you all for coming this evening.
01:05:29During my absence, I worked the hardest, most low-paying job.
01:05:34I wanted to understand the struggle of the less fortunate.
01:05:38And what I ended up finding was something unexpected.
01:05:42I found a daughter with a heart of hope.
01:05:45Tonight, I'm proud to introduce the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:05:49I've just seen it.
01:05:51You worthless bitch!
01:05:52This is all your fault!
01:05:54You made me betray Grace!
01:05:57Don't blame me because you threw away someone important!
01:06:02Grace, please.
01:06:03I never cared about her.
01:06:04I always loved you.
01:06:06Just give me another chance.
01:06:07I'll prove myself worthy.
01:06:11Alexander!
01:06:16Your sister is both kind and wise.
01:06:19You need to trust that she'll do the right thing.
01:06:24Grace, Victoria deceived us all.
01:06:27Our son truly cares for you.
01:06:28Give him one more chance.
01:06:30Yes, Grace.
01:06:31You and Nathan have history.
01:06:33If you become our daughter-in-law, we'll treat you like our own.
01:06:37When you thought my mom and I were nothing, you treated us like dirt.
01:06:41And then you stood by and watched while Nathan betrayed me and humiliated my mother.
01:06:47Grace, I was wrong.
01:06:48I mean, even my parents see you now.
01:06:50It will never, ever happen again.
01:06:53I swear.
01:06:54You're only sorry because of who I am now.
01:06:56Yes, I once had feelings for you.
01:07:00But that's over.
01:07:02I never want to see you again.
01:07:09You think you're above me now?
01:07:10Pay me one hundred million dollars or else everyone finds out how you really became the Phoenix Group Paris.
01:07:19By sleeping with your own adoptive brother.
01:07:26How dare you?
01:07:27That's a lie!
01:07:29Truth doesn't matter.
01:07:31My mother is a PR manager at Phoenix Group.
01:07:33She can forge all the proof we need.
01:07:35The press will eat it up.
01:07:37And I'll back every word of it.
01:07:38After all, I am regional manager of Phoenix Group.
01:07:42Just pay us the money.
01:07:44The Phoenix Group has the money.
01:07:45Or watch your reputation crumble.
01:07:48Is your mother's name Sarah Bell?
01:07:51She's the PR manager for Phoenix Group, right?
01:07:54So what old hag?
01:07:57She clearly didn't know how to teach you manners.
01:08:01So I guess she's fired.
01:08:04What?
01:08:06You can't do that!
01:08:07You and your two families can take your stuff and get out of the city.
01:08:11You're going to have a very hard time finding any work here.
01:08:17Please have mercy on my son.
01:08:19He's a foolish boy.
01:08:21He doesn't know what he's doing.
01:08:24Take them away.
01:08:25I do not want to see them in the city again.
01:08:27I do not want to see them in the city again...
01:08:28Yes, Miss Miller.
01:08:30T-
01:08:31Wait!
01:08:32No!
01:08:33No!
01:08:34Don't touch me!
01:08:36Rief!
01:08:37Rief!
01:08:39Rief!
01:08:40Rief!
01:08:42Rief!
01:08:43Rief!
01:08:44Rief!
01:08:46Rief!
01:08:48Rief!
01:08:49Rief!
01:08:50Rief!
01:08:52Rief!
01:08:53Rief!
01:08:55You stuck by me when I was sick, and I almost died, and you never gave up on me.
01:09:01And you gave me hope and strength.
01:09:04You gave me so much more.
01:09:06You gave me love when I thought I would never know what that would feel like.
01:09:09And you rescued me, and you gave me a family.
01:09:15Tonight, I want everyone to see who you really are.
01:09:20You're kind, compassionate, brilliant, unbreakable.
01:09:25And I mean no one will ever speak down to you again.
01:09:29I don't need the world's approval, Mom.
01:09:31I have everything I could ever want right here.
01:09:35My sweet daughter.
01:09:39Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make.
01:09:45Not only will my mother be coming back, as the CEO that I'm proud to announce as well,
01:09:50but my sister, Grace, will be joining our team at the Phoenix Group
01:09:55as the youngest billionaire heiress.
01:10:00Grace, who will know our family.
01:10:15You can't leave a little party.
01:10:15You're welcome, George.
01:10:17Bye.
01:10:17Bye.
01:10:19Bye.
01:10:20Bye.
01:10:20Bye.
