00:00:00Why do I need to marry your friend's daughter?
00:00:02So what if her father helped you out?
00:00:04The marriage will benefit both sides.
00:00:06So pathetic.
00:00:07I heard the bride's father recently passed away
00:00:10and she's marrying him just to save her family financially.
00:00:13I'll do it for you, Lou.
00:00:15I'm going through with the divorce.
00:00:17You know any marriage investigators in the city?
00:00:19Well, I heard the best investigator here is a young lady named Alice Smith.
00:00:22You're ruining everything for me!
00:00:24Leave the lady alone.
00:00:25I heard your husband left the country four years ago.
00:00:28Oh, thank you.
00:00:29I need to get away from you.
00:00:30Alice and my firm is dying because of you.
00:00:32You're going to pay!
00:00:35Yeah, I might need you to take care of me.
00:00:38Well, if that's the case, then I will.
00:00:40I see how you two can be happy together.
00:00:43You know, sometimes I think how nice it would be
00:00:45if I was married to a woman like Alice.
00:00:47What am I doing?
00:00:48I'm married and he's married.
00:00:51Hey, well, we haven't seen each other in four years.
00:00:53I bet we can get a divorce.
00:00:55Is this Alice's husband?
00:00:56Let me see what I can get out of this.
00:00:58Please, I think that one was a goal digger.
00:01:00Max, it's Alice.
00:01:01Can we talk?
00:01:02Alice?
00:01:03Max's wife?
00:01:05You weren't like this before.
00:01:06I want a divorce.
00:01:09Maybe it's time to end the charade.
00:01:10He's coming.
00:01:18The heir of the varigold group.
00:01:22Oh my God, he's so hot.
00:01:25I would die a million times.
00:01:26That means I could touch those muscles.
00:01:28Just once.
00:01:29Water.
00:01:29Water scarcity and clean access.
00:01:34Alice?
00:01:34What the fuck are you doing here?
00:01:37Get out of my way, doormat.
00:01:41What are you doing?
00:01:46What am I doing?
00:01:51Look how pathetic she is.
00:01:52I have an idea.
00:01:55Why don't we light her hair on fire?
00:01:57It'll be fun.
00:02:00No, stop, stop.
00:02:03No, please.
00:02:04No, stop.
00:02:07Stop it, let her go.
00:02:09No, Max.
00:02:11It's so nice to finally meet you.
00:02:12I'm Anna.
00:02:13I'm Anna.
00:02:38My name is...
00:02:39It's no big deal.
00:02:42Take care.
00:02:43Can you tell he has no interest in you?
00:02:53Well, he's clearly not interested in you guys either.
00:02:56What the hell?
00:03:16You can't touch her.
00:03:17Let's go, ladies.
00:03:30Stop dreaming.
00:03:32Guys like him will never be interested in someone like me.
00:03:34What?
00:03:35Why do I need to marry your friend's daughter?
00:03:40So what if her father helped you out?
00:03:43It doesn't have to destroy my life.
00:03:44It's not like that, Max.
00:03:46Mr. Taylor's daughter's daughter is a lovely girl.
00:03:50You'll like her.
00:03:52The marriage will benefit both sides.
00:03:55If you want to give up your inheritance right to the variegle group, feel free to ignore us.
00:04:00Oh, fucking asshole.
00:04:12Hey, who threw that phone?
00:04:14Oh, sorry, boss.
00:04:25Mom, what if he doesn't like me?
00:04:29I mean, should I really be marrying someone that I don't even know?
00:04:31Oh, do this for me, Alice.
00:04:34Please.
00:04:36Things have been tough since you're...
00:04:39Since we lost your father.
00:04:44And from now on, we're going by my surname.
00:04:49So you won't be Alice Taylor anymore.
00:04:52You'll be Alice Smith.
00:04:54What?
00:04:55No.
00:04:56It's how it has to be, Alice.
00:04:59We need the Brown support.
00:05:01Alice, please.
00:05:09Okay.
00:05:11I'll do it for you, Mom.
00:05:20Boss, I suggest you take these.
00:05:23For what?
00:05:25Well, if this woman isn't what you want, then better not let her see your face and fall in love.
00:05:31Good idea.
00:05:32Good idea.
00:05:46So, seeing as we are already married, maybe we should go grab a coffee and get to know each other?
00:05:54Are you serious?
00:05:58Are you serious?
00:05:59Who is this guy?
00:06:14Quickly, sir.
00:06:14We don't want to be late.
00:06:15We don't want to be late.
00:06:30Congrats.
00:06:30When will he arrive?
00:06:37Oh, don't worry, Alice.
00:06:39It must be a traffic jam.
00:06:41He will come soon.
00:06:43What?
00:06:44Come back now!
00:06:45Don't you know today's your wedding?
00:06:47My flight to Australia is leaving in ten minutes, and I already signed the contract papers.
00:06:51Alice, you got what you wanted, Dad.
00:06:53Goodbye.
00:06:58So pathetic.
00:07:00I heard the bride's father recently passed away, and she's marrying him just to save her family financially.
00:07:05The groom probably figured out her tricks and ran away.
00:07:08Who wants to marry a gold digger anyway?
00:07:10You said you never beat your wife, Mr. Carter.
00:07:25Let's welcome our investigator, Miss Alice Smith, then.
00:07:40These are just some of the graphic images of my client, after a particularly hostile exchange with the defendant.
00:07:57Might I add, Mr. Carter, that your bedroom window opens up into the living room of your neighbor's house,
00:08:02who just so happens to be a photographer.
00:08:10I would consider my career and reputation if I were you, Mr. Carter.
00:08:27Henry.
00:08:28You know any marriage investigators in the city?
00:08:30Why an investigator?
00:08:32I thought you were going to find a lawyer, directly.
00:08:34We're going to need some proof first.
00:08:36In this case, this don't tend to swing in favor of the husbands.
00:08:38Not to mention if that woman gets greedy, and tries to take everything from us.
00:08:42That makes sense?
00:08:44Well, I heard the best investigator here is a young lady named Alice Smith.
00:08:49This is Alice Smith.
00:08:57What the hell is going on?
00:09:08Well, sorry, lady, but you stopped all of a sudden.
00:09:11I don't have time for this.
00:09:12Here, take my card.
00:09:13We'll figure it out later.
00:09:16And next time, watch where you're going.
00:09:22So it's our fault.
00:09:24That's interesting.
00:09:28Alice Smith?
00:09:29Max, why don't you meet that woman and decide if you want a divorce or not?
00:09:37Maybe you'll like her.
00:09:39That's not the last thing that I want to be doing.
00:09:42How do you know?
00:09:44Because I'm not interested in meeting someone who uses marriage as a tool.
00:09:49Are you sure that's what she's doing?
00:09:50Is there any other reason that a woman would marry somebody that they don't even know?
00:09:55Well, it makes sense.
00:10:02You're ruining my life, Alice.
00:10:04I can't live without my wife.
00:10:06Just calm down, okay?
00:10:07I'm just doing my job.
00:10:09Besides, you should know that an unhappy marriage ends in a grave for one or both parties.
00:10:13I don't give a damn.
00:10:15Stay out of my marriage.
00:10:16You're ruining everything for me.
00:10:18Let go of me or I'll call the police.
00:10:20What the fuck is going on?
00:10:25Leave the lady alone.
00:10:27What if I say no?
00:10:33Ow, you're hurting me!
00:10:35Get out.
00:10:42What are you guys doing here?
00:10:50Allow me to formally introduce you to...
00:11:00This is Max Brown, the CEO of Legend Group.
00:11:03And I guess you are Miss Alice Smith.
00:11:06Who would have thought you're the investigator we're looking for?
00:11:10Thank you for your help earlier.
00:11:12Please, take a seat.
00:11:13Take a seat.
00:11:14Take a seat.
00:11:14Take a seat.
00:11:20Could Max be?
00:11:26No.
00:11:27My husband's company is Fairibald Group, not Legend Group.
00:11:32Mr. Brown, I already have my fair share of clients and headaches.
00:11:37Especially after this morning, now I have to go to the car shop.
00:11:41So, why should I take your case?
00:11:43Well, let's not allow past conflicts to cloud your judgment.
00:11:46Uh, as you said, an unhappy marriage is a grave.
00:11:55Okay.
00:11:56I'll take your case.
00:11:58Really?
00:12:00Yes.
00:12:01I believe everyone deserves a fair chance.
00:12:04So, tell me about your wife.
00:12:07Why do you want to get the divorce?
00:12:08What's the main issue in the relationship?
00:12:11I just don't know anything about the woman.
00:12:13My parents arranged the marriage years ago.
00:12:16Interesting.
00:12:19Well, have you given any thought to how you want to divide up the property?
00:12:24Yes.
00:12:25I have set aside $10 million.
00:12:29If she requests anything else, I'm prepared to take care of her.
00:12:32That's very generous.
00:12:34You may not need my help.
00:12:38Now, hold on.
00:12:39We've been married for four years now.
00:12:43It's a dead marriage.
00:12:44For all we know, she's planning something.
00:12:46Four years.
00:12:47What was the name of your wife?
00:12:50Oh, her...
00:12:52The name...
00:12:55Her name...
00:12:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:12:59I need to take this.
00:13:01Hello?
00:13:02Alice?
00:13:03Max has just returned.
00:13:05Come to my home and I'll introduce you guys.
00:13:07Okay.
00:13:07Um, I have an emergency that I need to handle, so I will take a look at your case and I'll
00:13:16get back to you later.
00:13:20Not that professional, is she?
00:13:23I think you should ask for more detailed information from your mom first.
00:13:27Yeah, let's do it.
00:13:28Mom, please.
00:13:33I have no interest in this woman.
00:13:35Give it at least a month.
00:13:37By then, if you still want a divorce, I'll agree.
00:13:41Deal.
00:13:56Hi, Emma.
00:13:57Come on in, Allie.
00:13:59You look gorgeous.
00:14:00Max is waiting for you.
00:14:12You probably felt bad about not having a gift.
00:14:15Don't worry.
00:14:15You'll...
00:14:16You'll meet him later.
00:14:18Right.
00:14:20You know, I have some work that I could get done.
00:14:23I'll Uber home.
00:14:27Max, where did you go?
00:14:48Let's stop wasting our time.
00:14:50We agreed to give it a month.
00:14:52No need.
00:14:53I already hired a very good investigator to find proof, and later I'll find a lawyer for
00:14:56a divorce.
00:14:58Oh, Jesus.
00:14:59He said he'll meet you later after better preparation.
00:15:11I hope you don't blame him for leaving without notice four years ago.
00:15:14No, Emma, I understand that it's a difficult situation.
00:15:20Tomorrow there's an important charity event.
00:15:22Make sure you go.
00:15:23I'll take care of the rest.
00:15:24A charity event?
00:15:26Okay.
00:15:27Henry, tomorrow's charity event?
00:15:32Make sure Max goes, okay?
00:15:35Why don't you tell him directly?
00:15:37I don't want him to suspect anything.
00:15:41His sweet wife, Allie, will be there, too.
00:15:45I must make sure he doesn't run away this time.
00:15:48I see.
00:15:49Wait.
00:15:50His wife's name is Allie?
00:15:53Does she happen to work in a law firm?
00:15:54Yeah, it's fine.
00:15:57I gotta go now.
00:15:59Wait.
00:16:02Wait.
00:16:04Arrange to donate an Alice's name at the charity dinner.
00:16:08Max likes girls who are passionate about meaningful social events.
00:16:12He may fall for her after that.
00:16:14Will the event be hosted under the name of Legend or Verigold Group?
00:16:17Legend Group.
00:16:18I want our new branch to build its reputation.
00:16:21Okay.
00:16:24Dude, let me ask.
00:16:30Are you sure about the divorce?
00:16:31Yes.
00:16:33How sure are you?
00:16:36A hundred percent sure.
00:16:37Why?
00:16:38Well, you better leave some room for more possibilities.
00:16:43Where'd you go earlier?
00:16:45Went back to visit the chairwoman.
00:16:47I see.
00:16:49So my mom's trying to get you to persuade me to give up on the divorce.
00:16:53That's right.
00:16:54But.
00:16:55Shut up.
00:16:57Hold on.
00:16:59Do you know who your wife is?
00:17:01I've heard enough about that woman.
00:17:03Are you sure?
00:17:04You seemed interested in the investigator, but I actually found...
00:17:06Enough!
00:17:06Enough!
00:17:10What?
00:17:10And you're trying to just set me up, right?
00:17:13How much is my mom paying you?
00:17:15What?
00:17:16Come on!
00:17:18Please, okay?
00:17:19I need to focus on the Legend Group Charity Gala event.
00:17:22It's going to be tomorrow.
00:17:25After that, we can talk about this whole so-called wife later.
00:17:29Max, there's something you really should know.
00:17:31Save it.
00:17:32Please.
00:17:34Enough.
00:17:34Boss, there's someone here to see you.
00:17:47Well, I don't have any meetings on today.
00:17:51When did you start scheduling my meetings, Henry?
00:17:53I just thought it was somebody that you'd like to see.
00:17:56I think she's outside.
00:17:57Hold on.
00:18:03Oh, hi.
00:18:04Alice?
00:18:07Oh, hi.
00:18:09Alice?
00:18:13What's up?
00:18:15What are you doing here?
00:18:17Henry said that you wanted to see me?
00:18:22Right.
00:18:23Of course.
00:18:26I just wanted to talk more about the case.
00:18:27Right.
00:18:29Yeah, I'm really sorry for leaving so abruptly earlier.
00:18:33No, you need to apologize.
00:18:35Actually, I had a question I wanted to ask you.
00:18:39We're doing the Legend Group Charity Gala event tomorrow.
00:18:42You want to join me?
00:18:43You want me to join you?
00:18:45Oh, you want to make your wife jealous, so she agrees to sign the divorce papers.
00:18:51Smart.
00:18:52Yeah.
00:18:53Also, don't forget that I'm the victim here.
00:18:57This marriage is just a whole farce.
00:19:00What a coincidence.
00:19:02Emma also invited me.
00:19:03Alice, you look ravishing tonight.
00:19:17What the hell, Tom?
00:19:21What the hell, Tom?
00:19:24Alice, how dare you seduce my husband?
00:19:27What are you talking about?
00:19:28How can someone like you attend such a high-class event anyway?
00:19:36Well, Linda, if someone like you can be here, I can definitely be here.
00:19:41I heard your husband left the country four years ago just to get away from you.
00:19:47How horrible is that?
00:19:50Actually, she's my wife.
00:19:55And I don't allow anyone to talk to my wife like that.
00:19:57You are?
00:20:00Show some respect, or I'm going to call security.
00:20:02We all know Alice's husband fled the country four years ago just to get away from her.
00:20:08Yeah, well, he's back now.
00:20:12Tom, the CEO of Legend Group would like to meet with you at tonight's gala.
00:20:18I just got a call, and tonight I'm meeting a very important contact.
00:20:23Really, honey?
00:20:25Let's go.
00:20:26Let's not waste time on these low-class people.
00:20:38Thanks.
00:20:39Sure.
00:20:39All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for tonight's main event.
00:20:52Tonight's winner, who donates the most, will receive a special collaboration opportunity
00:20:56with our sponsor, Legend Group.
00:21:00I heard the value of the collaboration is worth more than the top donation amount last year.
00:21:08So let's get it.
00:21:10I'll donate 10 million.
00:21:1110 million.
00:21:1250 million.
00:21:1550 million.
00:21:1660 million.
00:21:1760 million.
00:21:18100 million.
00:21:21100 million.
00:21:23Going once.
00:21:25Going twice.
00:21:26Oh, wow.
00:21:27Oh, wow.
00:21:30Seems that a mysterious donor by the name of Alice just donated 200 million dollars.
00:21:35It wasn't me.
00:21:38It's just a coincidence, right?
00:21:45Alice?
00:21:47Alice?
00:21:49There is no way that the Alice who donated is this same Alice.
00:21:53Alice, where would she get all that money, huh?
00:21:55Tell me.
00:21:55What kind of tricks are you guys trying to pull here?
00:21:58Oh.
00:21:59What are you doing to my boss?
00:22:01Henry, your boss?
00:22:03This is Max, the CEO of Legend Group.
00:22:06He's the important person I was going to introduce you to tonight.
00:22:09What?
00:22:15No better, Alice.
00:22:23Mom, will you send me my wife's number?
00:22:28I'm confused.
00:22:32Oh, my head.
00:22:36Yeah, I think I have low blood sugar.
00:22:38Hey.
00:22:40Hi.
00:22:40You have something to eat.
00:22:42It's going to make you feel better.
00:22:53You know, I noticed that your husband didn't show up yet.
00:23:02How's your relationship with him, if you don't mind me asking?
00:23:07Actually, I do mind.
00:23:09I don't really want to talk about him.
00:23:12I understand.
00:23:12Hello?
00:23:33Hello?
00:23:36Who is this?
00:23:37Where's my wife?
00:23:39Hello?
00:23:39Who are we speaking to?
00:23:41Yes, I'm fine.
00:23:43I'll be okay.
00:23:45I just need to rest.
00:23:47Hello?
00:23:48She's probably speaking to her husband now.
00:23:50Hello?
00:23:50But I shouldn't inquire.
00:23:51Besides, I have my own problems to deal with.
00:23:54I love you too.
00:23:55Okay.
00:23:56Bye.
00:24:04Max.
00:24:05I checked the donation details.
00:24:09It's your wife who made the donation.
00:24:11Hmm.
00:24:12I see.
00:24:13I guess it can't be Alice Smith.
00:24:15There's no way she'd be able to afford it.
00:24:17Well, you know, there is another woman at the law firm named Allie.
00:24:20One of their high-profile lawyers.
00:24:22I can look into her instead.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:25Go do that.
00:24:29Who is that, babe?
00:24:31I don't know.
00:24:31Probably one of Alice's clients.
00:24:33I'm surprised she hasn't realized yet that she left her work phone in your office.
00:24:37Okay.
00:24:38Forget about her.
00:24:39Stephen, you said you would divorce your wife by now.
00:24:42How long are you going to keep me waiting?
00:24:44Okay, okay.
00:24:45I'll settle things with her tonight.
00:25:02Hello?
00:25:03Hey.
00:25:05Well, we haven't seen each other in four years.
00:25:06I bet we can get a divorce.
00:25:08How about I give you $10 million?
00:25:10Is this Alice's husband?
00:25:11The one she's never even met?
00:25:12Wow, he's rich.
00:25:14Let me see what I can get out of this.
00:25:16What?
00:25:18Aw, okay.
00:25:19I understand.
00:25:21Why don't we meet and talk?
00:25:22Good.
00:25:23I got a place in mind.
00:25:33Would you believe it, Alice?
00:25:34I thought my wife is cheating on me.
00:25:37I need to go and sort this out.
00:25:39Would you come with me?
00:25:41Yeah, sure.
00:25:42But don't say too much.
00:25:44Okay?
00:25:45Let's remember, let her speak first.
00:26:02Allie?
00:26:03Oh, so I guess you're investigating me now.
00:26:06Wait, you two know each other?
00:26:09Yeah, we work at the same law firm.
00:26:17What are you looking at?
00:26:19Is that limited edition?
00:26:21I think I saw it in a magazine.
00:26:24Let's get to the point.
00:26:25I don't want to divorce unless you pay me enough.
00:26:29Okay, well, is 10 million enough?
00:26:31That's not even enough to pay for your watch.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:38How much is enough?
00:26:39Hmm, I think.
00:26:48Okay, while you're thinking about that, why don't you go figure out a number and then you can come back.
00:26:54For now, I need to talk with Alice.
00:26:56I need to talk with Alice.
00:26:59Okay.
00:27:11Max, I'm really sorry that you're going through this.
00:27:13I mean, Allie is clearly using your own emotions to extort you.
00:27:16Well, you know, it's like you said, Alice.
00:27:20An unhappy marriage is a grave.
00:27:24I'm just really happy that you're here.
00:27:26Thanks.
00:27:27Of course.
00:27:29Actually, I got you something.
00:27:36Wow.
00:27:42Max, I can't accept this.
00:27:43This is too nice.
00:27:44No, no.
00:27:47Please, I insist, okay?
00:27:49It's just a gift from a friend.
00:27:53Thanks.
00:28:02Oh, Alice.
00:28:05This is Mr. Roberts.
00:28:07He's the manager of the cafe.
00:28:08Mr. Roberts, Alice, she's been a great help to me lately.
00:28:10Hello, Alice.
00:28:11Lovely to meet you.
00:28:12Sorry, I actually have to take this.
00:28:14What a strange way for Max to introduce his wife.
00:28:19Would you like to order now, Mr. Brown, or should we wait for your wife?
00:28:22Please.
00:28:23Not just any woman is my wife.
00:28:24Oh, I see.
00:28:26They must have had a fight.
00:28:27Perhaps it was something to do with that other woman.
00:28:29Very well.
00:28:30I shall wait for the lady.
00:28:34Hey, Emma.
00:28:35Alice, did Max call you?
00:28:37He said he's been trying to reach you.
00:28:39No, he hasn't called, actually.
00:28:42Oh, you know what?
00:28:43I think I gave you my work phone number.
00:28:45I don't check that one as often.
00:28:47Oh, that's a relief.
00:28:48I was worried.
00:28:50Emma, can you send me Max's number again?
00:28:52Okay.
00:28:53Great.
00:28:54Thanks.
00:29:00Okay, Mom.
00:29:02Hi.
00:29:03I'm going through with the divorce.
00:29:05Please, I think that woman's a gold digger.
00:29:06No way!
00:29:07She's not that kind of woman.
00:29:09Are you meeting with someone new?
00:29:10Yes.
00:29:14Yes, actually, I am.
00:29:16And she's kind.
00:29:17She's got this grace about her.
00:29:21Sorry, I've got to go.
00:29:22Mom, I'll call you later.
00:29:26I didn't mean for you to overhear that.
00:29:28Sorry.
00:29:29I didn't realize you were there.
00:29:31That's okay.
00:29:33I'm glad you think so highly of me.
00:29:36I do.
00:29:36I mean, I really do.
00:29:57There's you.
00:30:02So, Cousin Max,
00:30:04you have got to tell me
00:30:05all about what you've been up to down under.
00:30:08Huh?
00:30:09A little thunder from down under, I expect.
00:30:12Well, it isn't a short story
00:30:14I can tell you that much, Mike.
00:30:16But first,
00:30:18since when did you get back from the UK?
00:30:20Oh, I just got back.
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:24Right after my parents divorced.
00:30:26It's a little sensitive.
00:30:27Sorry, boss.
00:30:28It's time to go.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:33Okay.
00:30:34Okay.
00:30:35Okay.
00:30:35Why give a shit about him?
00:30:41Remember how his dad tried to steal power from your father?
00:30:44Yeah, but at the end of the day, we're all family.
00:30:46I heard it was all his idea,
00:30:48and he's the one who controls his father.
00:30:51Be careful.
00:30:53Henry,
00:30:54don't worry about it.
00:30:56Okay?
00:30:57What's the worst thing you could do?
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:59Okay.
00:30:59Okay.
00:30:59Okay.
00:30:59Okay.
00:31:00Okay.
00:31:00Okay.
00:31:00Okay.
00:31:01Okay.
00:31:01Okay.
00:31:01Okay.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:04Okay.
00:31:04Okay.
00:31:05Max, it's Alice.
00:31:14Can we talk?
00:31:15Alice?
00:31:16Max's wife.
00:31:19It's about us.
00:31:20Emma said that we should talk.
00:31:21Yes.
00:31:24I have been looking forward to seeing you two.
00:31:31It's about us.
00:31:33Emma said that we should talk.
00:31:36I have been looking forward to seeing you two.
00:31:39Really?
00:31:40I thought you'd hate to see me.
00:31:41No.
00:31:42No way.
00:31:43See, why don't we meet up sometime next week.
00:31:48Okay.
00:31:48Let's do it.
00:31:49Great.
00:31:50Oh, and Alice, I don't use this phone often.
00:31:56Let me give you my main number.
00:31:58No problem.
00:31:59I knew you'd come back for his phone.
00:32:17Max, I have something for you.
00:32:24The woman you said you met yesterday, she sounded different than I expected, so I did some digging.
00:32:31I can't believe my mother still likes this woman.
00:32:34I'm sorry, Max.
00:32:34The evidence is undeniable.
00:32:36She did have an affair with her boss.
00:32:38We need to handle this carefully.
00:32:42Henry, I want you to follow up on this information, and I need you to keep this information under wraps.
00:32:47This is strictly a family matter.
00:32:48Understood.
00:32:48I'll do everything I can to uncover the truth.
00:32:51Thanks, Henry.
00:32:57No, I'm really, really looking forward to seeing you.
00:32:59It's been so long.
00:33:01I can't wait either.
00:33:05And Emma said that you're planning the wedding, right?
00:33:08Yes, and I never stopped thinking about you, Alice.
00:33:12Why don't we just meet today?
00:33:13I'm at Greensdale Mall right now.
00:33:17That sounds great.
00:33:18I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:33:21Great.
00:33:22So many years have passed, Max.
00:33:24I'm so happy I found you again.
00:33:30Alice?
00:33:33Max!
00:33:35What are you doing here?
00:33:36You shopping for a hot date?
00:33:38As a matter of fact, yes.
00:33:40I am.
00:33:42Huh.
00:33:43Well, I hope he's worthy of you.
00:33:45I think so.
00:33:47You know what?
00:33:49I got a card for this mall.
00:33:51Take it.
00:33:52Use it for whatever you want.
00:33:54No.
00:33:54I can't do that.
00:33:56Please.
00:33:57For all the help that you gave me?
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:05Sure.
00:34:05Alice?
00:34:19What are you doing here?
00:34:22I'm shopping, Linda.
00:34:23What does it look like?
00:34:24Shopping.
00:34:25Of course.
00:34:26And I'm sure...
00:34:28Is that iced coffee?
00:34:29What's your bags, miss?
00:34:34When you're ready, please pay with a card.
00:34:36Thank you, Lucy.
00:34:38What?
00:34:41Thank you, Lucy.
00:34:42What?
00:34:43Hold on.
00:34:44Hold on.
00:34:44You can't afford this.
00:34:49Oh.
00:34:49Yes, I can.
00:34:51These are designer.
00:34:54And?
00:34:56Whatever.
00:34:57Just don't ask me to cover you later.
00:35:00You know, actually, Linda,
00:35:03I bet you couldn't afford these.
00:35:05You don't think I can?
00:35:09Please.
00:35:16And here's your receipt for $19,999.
00:35:20I'm sorry, how much?
00:35:32$20,000?
00:35:33Linda, what the hell did you buy?
00:35:35Tom, it's...
00:35:36It's just the stopping bill.
00:35:40Yes, it's a lot, but I had to save space.
00:35:43Stay where you are.
00:35:44I'm coming to find you.
00:35:48Linda, what's the meaning behind this?
00:35:51It's all a trick, babe.
00:35:53She made me pay for it.
00:35:55Excuse me?
00:35:56Alice, you conned Linda into paying for your shit?
00:36:00I didn't con anyone, okay?
00:36:02She paid before I had the chance to.
00:36:04You scam artist!
00:36:06Well, I want my money back.
00:36:10Don't you touch her.
00:36:14Who the hell are you?
00:36:16I'm her husband.
00:36:19Now back off,
00:36:21if you don't want any trouble.
00:36:22I should have been here sooner.
00:36:38Alice, I'm sorry.
00:36:39I'm so sorry I left you four years ago.
00:36:42I've really been regretting it every day since.
00:36:47It's okay.
00:36:49I'm just glad you're here now.
00:36:56Alice?
00:36:58That's probably her husband.
00:37:00I'll leave her be.
00:37:01Come on in.
00:37:14Max, why don't you live at home?
00:37:17Well, I've been traveling a lot.
00:37:19Work lately.
00:37:23I guess I just...
00:37:24I'm not used to hotels.
00:37:27It's cozy.
00:37:31I do try to make it feel like it's home.
00:37:36Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry.
00:37:40Let me help you.
00:37:42I'm fine.
00:37:44Seeing as we barely know each other,
00:37:46I think I need more time.
00:37:54Alice.
00:37:54Alice.
00:38:00Alice.
00:38:01Alice, Alice, Alice.
00:38:04You playing hard to get.
00:38:07Just seduce me.
00:38:16Hi, um, can I get a towel?
00:38:18Please.
00:38:22Alice!
00:38:24Max!
00:38:27Hi.
00:38:32Max, what are you doing here?
00:38:35Alice is so good to see you.
00:38:39You're drunk.
00:38:42It must be because of his wife.
00:38:45Let's get you home.
00:38:47Come on.
00:38:48I'll take you.
00:38:49Careful, we'll just move this way.
00:38:54And we're gonna go to your room.
00:38:57Here, careful, careful, careful.
00:38:58I want it.
00:39:02Alice.
00:39:05That's what we shouldn't...
00:39:06I know.
00:39:10But I missed you.
00:39:11What am I doing?
00:39:26Why do I like him more than my own husband?
00:39:34Max, I saw your wife with another man.
00:39:36She went into a hotel and...
00:39:37Oh, I, uh...
00:39:42Didn't realize you were with Alice.
00:39:48What's going on, Henry?
00:39:50I saw Max's wife.
00:39:53I thought you should know.
00:39:54So she is cheating on him.
00:39:57Yeah.
00:39:57She's arrogant enough to cheat during the divorce.
00:40:05I should go.
00:40:07Wait, Alice, I'm sorry for the intrusion.
00:40:11Alice, please, don't go.
00:40:19Oranges...
00:40:20Actually, that's not me.
00:40:21That's at the house in the country.
00:40:23How about this?
00:40:24Max and Alice.
00:40:25Two hearts yearning for love.
00:40:29If only they knew how perfect they are for each other.
00:40:32I wouldn't be able to do this without you.
00:40:38Alice, I need to ask you something.
00:40:40It's about Max?
00:40:42Yeah.
00:40:43What is it?
00:40:44I see how you two could be happy together.
00:40:48Help him get the divorce soon and do it for the both of you.
00:40:53I have a husband.
00:40:54He has a wife.
00:40:55I'm here on a job to help him get a divorce.
00:40:59Henry, please don't suggest something like that again.
00:41:01Let's just keep this professional.
00:41:11Allie, this is for the exceptional job you did last night.
00:41:16It is truly well-deserved.
00:41:18Mm-hmm.
00:41:18I love it.
00:41:21Put it on me.
00:41:30And...
00:41:31This is ready.
00:41:35Now I have all I need.
00:41:36We're going to get a lot of money.
00:41:39A lot.
00:41:40We're going to be where she is.
00:41:46Uh...
00:41:47Hi, um...
00:41:53I'm sorry.
00:41:55I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:41:57You weren't interrupting.
00:41:58Really?
00:41:59We were just...
00:42:00Um, actually, I'm here on business.
00:42:04As you know, Max commissioned me to handle his divorce file.
00:42:10Oh, well, he should give me what I asked for.
00:42:12According to the terms, I am entitled to half his property.
00:42:15If this divorce goes public, his company's stock will tank, and we'll see who loses out then.
00:42:19I understand your position, Allie, but Max is firm on this, and he's willing to fight for what's right.
00:42:28Also, he knows about the affair you're having.
00:42:37Um, hello, I need to file a divorce case.
00:42:43Sorry, I don't take cheap cases like yours.
00:42:47But I need help.
00:42:48I handle high-profile cases, not common ones.
00:42:54I can help you.
00:42:56Thank you so much.
00:42:58Uh, I'm Alice.
00:42:59What's your name?
00:43:00Mr. Thompson Brown.
00:43:01I'm one of the board members at Legend Group.
00:43:08Lovely to meet you.
00:43:10Good to meet you.
00:43:11Mr. Brown, I apologize for any misunderstanding.
00:43:14Allie doesn't normally act like this.
00:43:15I came here to assess if your firm was worthy of our business.
00:43:21I didn't expect to be met with such arrogance.
00:43:24Especially from a lawyer.
00:43:25Mr. Brown.
00:43:26Enough, Allie.
00:43:27You've made a grave error in judgment.
00:43:29You need to apologize to Mr. Brown right now.
00:43:31You may be the board member of the Legend Group, but I am the wife of the CEO, so why should I give a shit about you?
00:43:38Wow.
00:43:39Wow.
00:43:40I'll show you what I can do.
00:43:41Just you wait.
00:43:43Please!
00:43:46I've decided that in the future, I will seek your services alone.
00:43:50Not this law firm.
00:43:53But you alone.
00:43:55Actually, I'm not a lawyer.
00:43:56I'm just a marriage investigator.
00:43:58That's quite alright.
00:43:59I'm sure you'll get along great with our lawyers.
00:44:08You have made good progress on this case, Alice.
00:44:12I'm impressed.
00:44:16I apologize if I'm overstepping here, but I was wondering if you'd be interested in meeting
00:44:22my son, Michael.
00:44:23He's a fine young man.
00:44:25Well, I heard what you were about to suggest, Thompson.
00:44:28I must advise against it.
00:44:31Allie is married, and your son is not the type of person she should be involved with anyway.
00:44:38I assure you, Michael is a gentleman that would treat Alice with the utmost respect.
00:44:46I suggest only an introduction.
00:44:47Strictly professional.
00:44:49I know my daughter-in-law's value, and I won't have her entangled in your son's affairs.
00:44:56Allie, we should go.
00:45:00Thank you, Mr. Brown.
00:45:04I really appreciate the consideration, but I really should respect my mother-in-law's wishes.
00:45:09Of course, Alice.
00:45:18A missed opportunity, indeed.
00:45:20Allie, there are things about our family that you don't know, especially Mr. Brown and
00:45:28his son, Michael.
00:45:30He's not a good man.
00:45:34Why?
00:45:34What makes you say that?
00:45:35Michael went abroad after failing to seize control of family business.
00:45:45But now that he's back, he's looking to expand his reach.
00:45:49And your connection to Max makes you a valuable pawn in his games.
00:45:55That's awful.
00:46:00I refuse to be taken advantage of.
00:46:05I really thought Mr. Brown was different.
00:46:08I guess I was wrong.
00:46:10Thank you, Emma.
00:46:12Stay vigil and tell me.
00:46:14Now, tonight, dress well, I've arranged a special family dinner for us, and Max will be there
00:46:26too.
00:46:27Okay.
00:46:29I'll be there.
00:46:30Thank you, Emma.
00:46:38So, Allie, have you had a chance to meet with Max yet?
00:46:42Yes, we've met.
00:46:43He's been very enthusiastic.
00:46:47Well, that's good to hear.
00:46:49It's important that our family is united.
00:46:53Right.
00:46:54Yes.
00:46:58What?
00:47:00The warehouse is on fire?
00:47:03Shit!
00:47:04I need to go.
00:47:06You stay here and wait for Max, okay?
00:47:08Okay.
00:47:09God.
00:47:13What is this traffic, Henry?
00:47:15We've been sitting here for like 15 minutes.
00:47:18You know what?
00:47:19I'm going to walk the rest.
00:47:20I'll see you there.
00:47:23Guess it's just me.
00:47:27Alice!
00:47:28Oh, Max!
00:47:29I was beginning to think you got lost.
00:47:40Not at all.
00:47:41It's lovely to see you again.
00:47:44I hope I haven't been keeping you waiting.
00:47:45No, no.
00:47:47Um, you haven't.
00:47:48It's nice to see you too.
00:47:49And I'm sorry about the other night.
00:47:53It's okay.
00:47:55It wasn't your fault.
00:47:57Besides, that's why my mother gave us a chance to get to know each other more.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:02Thank you for making this work.
00:48:05Sure.
00:48:06Um, what should we have?
00:48:11I'll tell you what.
00:48:12Let's enjoy a drink and then get out of here.
00:48:15There's something I want to show you.
00:48:19Okay.
00:48:19Okay.
00:48:20Good.
00:48:21Good.
00:48:21Good.
00:48:21Good.
00:48:30Good.
00:48:37Mom?
00:48:39Where are you?
00:48:39I can't seem to find you or Allie.
00:48:42I'm dealing with the warehouse.
00:48:44She might have left.
00:48:45Next time, then.
00:48:46Ah, I see.
00:48:49Well, it's probably for the best.
00:48:51I wasn't really in the mood to see her tonight anyway.
00:49:00Well, I thought we could have our own private dinner here.
00:49:07What do you think?
00:49:10It's beautiful, Max.
00:49:13Um, but why do you keep bringing me to hotels?
00:49:17Um, Alice, I understand that the last time wasn't the right time, seeing as I had proposed.
00:49:27So, will you marry me?
00:49:35Max, um, this is all really sudden.
00:49:38I need time.
00:49:42Of course.
00:49:46But, uh, know that my feelings for you are genuine.
00:49:50I know this is really frustrating for you.
00:49:57I want you to know that I really do want to make this work between us.
00:50:00Oh, what the fuck was that?
00:50:25Huh?
00:50:26I don't understand you.
00:50:28You left?
00:50:30You left your stuff here.
00:50:34To seduce me?
00:50:36Didn't you?
00:50:37Huh?
00:50:39Didn't you?
00:50:42You're nothing like what I imagined, Max.
00:50:44I...
00:50:45I need time.
00:50:46I...
00:50:46I can't force myself.
00:50:48I'm sorry.
00:50:49Shut your mouth.
00:50:51Just save your lives.
00:50:53Okay?
00:50:53All you women are exactly the same.
00:50:57Now, we can finish.
00:50:59You started.
00:51:04Never!
00:51:05You weren't like this before!
00:51:07You fucking bitch!
00:51:09You fucking bitch!
00:51:12You can't escape me, Alice!
00:51:14I can't do this anymore.
00:51:22I can't do this, anyone.
00:51:24I want a divorce.
00:51:25Ellie, are you sure?
00:51:28You were once so confident.
00:51:31Why can't you try to work things out?
00:51:33I just can't.
00:51:36The marriage isn't what I hoped for.
00:51:39Sorry, Emma.
00:51:41I understand your feelings, but divorce is a serious step.
00:51:48Are you certain you can't find a way to cultivate these feelings again?
00:51:52No.
00:51:54I need to move on for my own sake.
00:52:01You know what?
00:52:03Allie keeps going behind my back and sending dinners with my mom.
00:52:06I can't stand that one.
00:52:08You know, sometimes I think how nice it would be if I was married to a woman like Alice.
00:52:13If this only understands me, who connects with me to a deeper level.
00:52:19You know what, man?
00:52:21Forget her.
00:52:22Alice is a great woman and all, but she's got a husband.
00:52:26And you have a wife.
00:52:28You need to face reality.
00:52:36Maybe it's time to end the charade.
00:52:48Hello, Mom.
00:52:49Max, Ellie has agreed to the divorce.
00:52:51It's going to be a clean break.
00:52:55Really?
00:52:55That's great news.
00:52:57How'd you get the gold digger to suddenly change her mind?
00:53:00She was never a gold digger, Max.
00:53:02I want you to know that.
00:53:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:05Whatever you say, Mom.
00:53:05Henry, Allie finally decided for the divorce.
00:53:10What?
00:53:11That's unbelievable.
00:53:13Let's celebrate.
00:53:14Cheers.
00:53:15Cheers.
00:53:22Mom.
00:53:23Mom along.
00:53:24Fuck, this woman is so annoying.
00:53:29She came to my mom's house.
00:53:31What are you doing here?
00:53:32I told you to leave me alone.
00:53:35I want to move on with my life.
00:53:38Have you no shame?
00:53:39I want to move on with my life.
00:53:48Yeah, you've got no shame?
00:53:50Because see, on the surface, it seemed like you were good with the divorce.
00:53:53And now you're here trying to seduce me.
00:53:55What are you talking about?
00:53:57I'm not trying to seduce you.
00:53:58I'm done with your lies.
00:54:03Not lying.
00:54:04I came here to rest.
00:54:05Emma said that I could rest here.
00:54:10Save it for someone who cares.
00:54:13I'm done with your games.
00:54:16I'm not playing any games, Max.
00:54:23That voice sounded different.
00:54:28Alice, do you know that we've lost every one of our clients because of you?
00:54:42No, you can blame Mr. Thompson Brown for that.
00:54:45Actually, no, I would blame Allie for that.
00:54:48Hey, why don't you give me Max's divorce case?
00:54:51At least in my hands, I can save this law firm.
00:54:54Oh, you know, I highly doubt that.
00:54:56Plus, Max wouldn't agree to that.
00:54:59I already talked to him.
00:55:01And he already agreed.
00:55:04Well, if that's the case, then I'll wait for him to confirm it with me.
00:55:11Oh, Allie.
00:55:12Have you seen my work phone anywhere?
00:55:14I must have missed like 10 calls.
00:55:16Why don't you handle your own shit?
00:55:18Alice, my wife is someone that we cannot trust.
00:55:33Last night was just so disappointing.
00:55:36She came into my mom's home and she tried to seduce me.
00:55:39That's awful.
00:55:41I'm really sorry, Max.
00:55:44I have to ask you.
00:55:46Did you pass off the case to my boss, Stephen?
00:55:50No.
00:55:51No, why?
00:55:53No reason, I guess.
00:55:54They just wanted more information from you.
00:55:57I can't stand that woman.
00:55:59I bet you probably got a certificate from the lawyers just to exploit me.
00:56:03I can't comment on that.
00:56:05But what I can say is that there are good lawyers and bad lawyers, and I would never do that to you.
00:56:11That woman is nothing compared to you, Alice.
00:56:19Max, I really don't want to hurt you.
00:56:23I can't be what you want me to be.
00:56:25Let's just try to finish this and move on with our lives, amicably.
00:56:35I see.
00:56:41Alice, I've lost so much money, and my firm is dying because of you.
00:56:51If I can't be happy, neither can you.
00:56:54You're going to pay.
00:56:56Thanks for meeting me here again.
00:56:58Of course.
00:56:59You parked nearby?
00:57:00Oh, no.
00:57:00I was just going to...
00:57:02No, it's good.
00:57:03I'm parked right down this way.
00:57:04Alice!
00:57:08Oh.
00:57:11Max!
00:57:20Max, are you okay?
00:57:21Oh, my God.
00:57:22I'm going to call.
00:57:24Oh, my phone's broken.
00:57:25Okay, stay with me.
00:57:25Don't worry.
00:57:26Okay, stay with me.
00:57:27Stay with me.
00:57:29Max.
00:57:29Max.
00:57:36Alice?
00:57:38Max.
00:57:39You're awake.
00:57:42How do you feel?
00:57:43Oh, Crocky.
00:57:46What happened?
00:57:47You were in an accident.
00:57:49You need to thank your wife, who carried you two blocks to get help.
00:57:55You did that for me.
00:57:57You saved me, too.
00:57:59It's just a mild concussion from the crash.
00:58:02You may experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and some memory loss.
00:58:08But this is all normal.
00:58:11You hear that, Alice?
00:58:13I got a concussion.
00:58:15I might be a little bit slow and stupid for the rest of my life.
00:58:18Is that so?
00:58:20Yeah.
00:58:21I might need you to take care of me.
00:58:22Well, if that's the case, then I will.
00:58:31Don't you worry.
00:58:32This accident will not influence your bang sex life or make you an idiot.
00:58:38Actually, he's not my husband.
00:58:42Oh, pardon me.
00:58:48Sir.
00:58:50I've looked into the car accident.
00:58:51We've managed to identify the car, but the police haven't found the driver yet.
00:58:54Keep on it, Henry.
00:58:55I'm going to need you to look in to find out who did this.
00:58:57Of course, sir.
00:58:58Hello?
00:59:10Max, if you introduce me as the CEO's wife and board member of the upcoming business dinner,
00:59:14plus give me 20 million, I promise to divorce you.
00:59:17Fine.
00:59:18But this is going to be the last favor.
00:59:20Pleasure meeting you.
00:59:29This is my wife, Allie.
00:59:30She's the CEO of Legend Group, and she's the woman, the chairwoman of the whole board.
00:59:35Pleasure to meet you.
00:59:38Allie, could you tell us about your company's current investment strategy?
00:59:45Well, it's...
00:59:47Or you could tell us anything at all.
00:59:50About the company.
00:59:54If you don't have anything to say about that,
00:59:57maybe you have something to say about this.
01:00:00It wasn't just me.
01:00:02It was Allie, who asked me to get Allison next.
01:00:06No?
01:00:08I had nothing to do with that.
01:00:10That's defamation.
01:00:12Why are you looking at me?
01:00:13It wasn't me.
01:00:14Henry?
01:00:15I swear.
01:00:17That was...
01:00:17You guys, I'm being framed.
01:00:19Let me go!
01:00:21Let me go!
01:00:22No!
01:00:26Alice.
01:00:27I have something for you.
01:00:29The police recovered it from Allie.
01:00:31Here you go.
01:00:33My work phone.
01:00:34I've been looking everywhere for this.
01:00:36What are all these missed calls?
01:00:38Was Allie using my phone to call Max?
01:00:45Hello?
01:00:46Hello?
01:00:48Hold on.
01:00:49Wait.
01:00:51It's you!
01:00:52It's you!
01:00:55Why are you calling from your phone?
01:00:57I have something to tell you.
01:00:59Meet me at Moonfall Lodge Restaurant.
01:01:00Boss!
01:01:01I found out the truth about your wife.
01:01:14Henry.
01:01:15Please.
01:01:16Not now.
01:01:16I'm supposed to be meeting Alice here.
01:01:18Actually, sir.
01:01:19You're going to want to look at this.
01:01:21And you should cherish her.
01:01:23Do not mention this woman to me again.
01:01:27The woman I care about is Alice.
01:01:30You should know that by now.
01:01:31All right?
01:01:32I can't believe I'm still tied to this woman.
01:01:34Ooh!
01:01:43Alice?
01:01:44Alice?
01:01:44Not Allie?
01:01:50Alice Smith is...
01:01:52This woman I married, not Allie?
01:01:56Alice.
01:01:57Alice is my wife.
01:01:59Alice Smith.
01:02:00Mm-hmm.
01:02:02The woman I married, the name is Taylor.
01:02:05It should be Allie Taylor.
01:02:07She used her mother's last name after she lost her father.
01:02:10And your wife's first name isn't Allie.
01:02:12It's Alice.
01:02:14And also, she was in your class in college, but you never paid attention to her.
01:02:18You've known her for a long time.
01:02:42It's really you.
01:02:43It's really you.
01:02:45It's really you.
01:02:45Have I lost you?
01:02:51Have I lost you?
01:02:52Have I lost you?
01:02:55Have I lost you?
01:02:57Oh, oh, oh, oh
