00:00You're already here waiting for me?
00:08Kate.
00:09Oh my god, what a surprise!
00:12Do my parents invite you?
00:14Shameless!
00:15You've been abroad for four years and the first thing you do is to come back here and snatch my man?
00:21Your future brother-in-law?
00:23Your man?
00:26Yes.
00:28Your sister and Ethan are engaged.
00:31What?
00:32When?
00:33About a month ago.
00:35You were not invited.
00:37Because of what you were telling everybody behind our backs, Ethan told us everything.
00:43Your name has been removed from the family trust.
00:47You have lost your right to inherit Cox Architects.
00:52You may leave.
00:54What?
00:55Dad, what the fuck, Ethan?
00:57I told you that Ethan jerk was full of shit.
01:05Do you know what exactly he's told you, parents?
01:08No, I don't.
01:10And anyone who knows what really happened is not answering my calls.
01:14That's okay.
01:15Stay with me tonight.
01:17Let's get you some rest and we'll figure it out tomorrow.
01:25Do you...
01:27Do you wanna have fun and get back at Ethan a little?
01:31Like...
01:32Fuck his hot uncle?
01:34What are you talking about?
01:37What are you talking about?
01:39Look.
01:40That's Ethan's uncle.
01:42Ethan's uncle.
01:43Oh my god.
01:47I mean, I'm not really in the mood, but he looks... yummy.
01:53Wait, how do you know he's Ethan's uncle?
01:55I mean, I was with him all throughout high school and I've never met this uncle.
02:00Not many have.
02:01He was in charge of the European division in Brussels.
02:04He just came back.
02:06My brother met him at a cocktail party last week.
02:09Showed me a picture.
02:11Completely gorgeous.
02:13My brother says he's very masterful.
02:16Even Ethan's father is at his mercy.
02:20Oh.
02:21So he's powerful in his family.
02:23Mm-hmm.
02:25Alright.
02:34Excuse me, sir.
02:35Do you happen to know the time?
02:37Um...
02:38It's the time of our first encounter and the beginning of our happiness.
02:42What are you doing?
02:43I'm about to become Ethan's auntie.
02:50What are you doing?
02:51I told you.
02:52It's starting the beginning of the rest of our life.
02:55Okay.
02:56I'm not some sort of doctor.
02:58I can't give you treatment.
03:01What?
03:02You are insane, aren't you?
03:04Well, I am actually ill.
03:07But I'm not insane.
03:09Just lovesick.
03:10Okay.
03:12I got lovesick the minute I saw you over here.
03:15They say that when you meet the love of your life, you feel really happy.
03:19And that's exactly how I feel right now.
03:22Okay.
03:23I've heard enough.
03:24You can go on your way now.
03:25Pretty boy.
03:26Why don't you give me your number?
03:29Why don't you tell me your name?
03:32You look so irresistible with your eyes like that.
03:35What the hell do you want with me?
03:37I want to marry you.
03:38I want to marry you.
03:40And if I didn't actually want to marry you, then everything I've just said would make me a total scumbag.
03:46But I'm actually a catch.
03:49I graduated college.
03:51I'm 22.
03:53And I make my own money.
03:56I would be a good wife.
03:58And I'm really healthy and I have good habits.
04:02And above all, I'm not a selfish lover.
04:06And I swear to you now that I'll treat you well and-
04:11Shut up.
04:13Meet me tomorrow at the city hall.
04:15Bring your identification at 10am.
04:28Wait, what are you doing?
04:29This is my house.
04:33There you are.
04:37How are you doing?
04:41I'm sorry, Kate.
04:43But Rebecca has more equity.
04:45I have to marry a rich heiress so I can inherit my father's company.
04:49You know, he always thinks that bastard of his is more capable than me.
04:54And now with my uncle in town, he's being extra stressed and pushy.
04:58Does Rebecca know this?
05:00No, Kate.
05:01Rebecca and I are just temporary.
05:03My heart is all yours.
05:06Once I have my father's company and Rebecca's shares, we can be together again.
05:12We can have everything.
05:14Like death on the Nile?
05:16Well, it's not like we're gonna kill her.
05:19You drove a wedge between me and my family.
05:22Well, I'm not proud of it.
05:25But I had to make sure Rebecca got the most shares.
05:29Okay, good to know. You can fuck off then.
05:32Kate, don't be like this.
05:34You know, I always knew you were a bit of a mercenary, but I never took you for a coward.
05:38Ugh.
05:48What time is it?
05:50Like 9.40.
05:55Wait, what are you doing?
05:57I'm going to get married.
05:58Get married.
06:06Oh, you're already here.
06:09Unlike you, I'm punctual.
06:11Good looking couple. Hey, congratulations on your marriage.
06:14You are going to have the prettiest kids.
06:15We are not having children.
06:30Could you two get closer together and look sweeter?
06:33Sir, could you please smile?
06:35My husband has nerve damage which causes facial paralysis, so just let him be.
06:46Congratulations to both of you.
06:53You're now officially married.
06:58Your last name is Lyons?
07:03Yes, I decided to take my mother's maiden name.
07:09Here's my number.
07:11I'm busy today, so I'm leaving now.
07:12Wait.
07:13Yeah.
07:14We're married now.
07:15Don't you think we should live together?
07:16I don't like living with other people.
07:19I'm not other people.
07:20I'm your wife.
07:21And my family despises me now.
07:23I have nowhere to stay.
07:24Then find a place to rent and I'll pay for it.
07:27Lovey, please don't leave me.
07:29I have no one now.
07:30Only you.
07:33Fine, I'll send you the address.
07:35But you're staying in the guest bedroom.
07:36My bedroom, off limits.
07:38Alright.
07:42Didn't I say to keep a low profile this time?
07:52This is already our cheapest car, sir.
07:54Does anyone in the city know my real identity?
07:57Nope.
07:58We made sure no one does.
08:00I checked her background.
08:01She's clean.
08:02So it is just a coincidence.
08:12So I have a meeting tomorrow with several investors.
08:15I've been in contact with them before college and they said they really like my work.
08:19So I'm hoping I can pitch my dream to them and this would be the first step to me getting my own architectural firm.
08:25Good luck.
08:26I know you can pull everything off.
08:29And hey, congratulations on becoming the missus to a very sexy man and Auntie Kate to Ethan.
08:37Should we tell Ethan and Rebecca? Embarrass them a little?
08:41I'll save it.
08:43I'm not even his real missus.
08:45He doesn't even let me in his room.
08:47What are you planning to do?
08:48Well, I'm gonna make it impossible for him to resist me.
09:08Mia? Who's Mia?
09:12He has a daughter?!
09:13Please let me in. Mia's back.
09:20Mia's back? Who is this?
09:22It's John, your dog walker.
09:25Whoever lives in this house.
09:27Mia's a dog?
09:29Yes, Mia's the dog.
09:31Who are you? Burglar?
09:35Mia's a dog.
09:37Oh. Oh.
09:43Yes.
09:48Hubby, this is Katie.
09:50I'm at work. I don't have time to talk. What's up?
09:53Hubby, will you be home for dinner?
09:55No. And do not call me that.
09:57Um, can I call you Daddy then?
10:00Absolutely not.
10:02Fine. I'll call you Shani.
10:04Shani and Katie sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-
10:07Stop.
10:08Okay. Just come home early. Me and I will be waiting.
10:10And I have a surprise for you.
10:31Shani, you're home.
10:34I let you move in. I didn't let you turn my house into this.
10:37Isn't it nice? Your place was so dreary. It didn't feel like a home.
10:42I even cut my hand while moving decorations.
10:49Well, it looks like you had it coming.
10:51You put something on. It gets cold at night.
10:56Shani, you're up!
11:02Yeah.
11:03I made some pancakes and cinnamon buns. You want some?
11:07Uh, no. I don't really like sweet stuff for breakfast.
11:12You sure? You don't want to try a little bit?
11:15No.
11:17But, it's so delicious.
11:19Yeah, sure. Um, I'll take a bite if it's so delicious. Yeah.
11:32Oh! You didn't cease the moment. Maybe too long.
11:36Oh, Shani! Could you give me a lift?
11:47Only if you stop calling me that.
11:49I could stop for today.
11:51Where are you going?
11:53Building my career.
11:55Address. I need an address.
11:57Oh, sorry. Archie Square, please.
11:59Get in.
12:00Get in.
12:14Thank you, Shani. I'll see you later tonight.
12:17Sorry. I guess love habits die hard.
12:19Love habits die hard.
12:30I need to know what she's planning to do, and who she's dealing with.
12:39Yes?
12:41Sean, it's Mia. I'm so sorry.
12:44Where are you?
12:45What? Where are you?
12:46Sean.
12:53Where's Mia?
12:54They brought her inside. They told me to wait out here.
12:55And you gave her the supplements instead of the dog food? How could that happen, Kate?
12:59I...
13:00No, no, no. Stop, stop. I need honestly and clearly what happened from the very beginning.
13:04Fine. I was at work. I came home.
13:06Yeah.
13:07I was exhausted. The investors were really hard on me, and I went to feed her.
13:11I wasn't paying attention. I got distracted, and then I went to take a shower.
13:14When I came outside, she was just laying down, throwing up.
13:18What?
13:19And, Sean, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt her.
13:20I can't believe I let you in my house. And for you to take care of Mia?
13:25Sean, I care about Mia, and I'll do anything to make this...
13:28No! It's too late! You need to move out!
13:31Sean, please.
13:32No.
13:33Hi.
13:36How's she doing?
13:37Your dog is two weeks pregnant.
13:39What?
13:40What?
13:41You don't look pleased by the news. Should I do something?
13:44No. Um, is a dog's pregnancy the same as a human's? Is that why she's throwing up?
13:49Sometimes, yes. It depends on each dog's condition.
13:52Some people who don't know better will think their dog is having digestive problems.
13:55So I didn't kill her?
13:57Oh, no. The nutrients are harmless.
13:59All right. Um, thank you. Uh, what should we do to keep Mia comfortable while she's pregnant?
14:06Nothing too special, but it would be best if someone can spend time looking after her and cooking for her.
14:12Okay. Well, um...
14:16You did say that you would do anything to make up for it.
14:20Uh, would you take care of Mia?
14:23Really? Does that mean I don't have to move out?
14:27Yes.
14:35I'm sorry, missus. Your names have been banned from our guest list.
14:38What? By whom?
14:40Let me check.
14:42It was by a shareholder on the board called Rebecca Cox.
14:46God, I guess my family must have invested in a group that owns this bar. Let's just go.
14:51No. No, we're not going anywhere. Listen, you better let us in, dude. If I make a call, my brother can buy both of your asses right now.
14:59Ladies, let's go.
15:00No. Do not touch me.
15:01Let me go!
15:02Hey! Hey! Let her go! How dare you grab a woman like that?
15:05I'm sorry, Mr. Lyons. I did my job according to the rules.
15:08According to the rules, what looks like your buddy here is on a power trip and has zero regard for hospitality. And if you're letting that happen, you shouldn't be the manager.
15:15I'm sorry, Mr. Lyons. I just don't understand why you're backing up this nobody girl.
15:19Nobody! I'm the husband of this nobody girl.
15:23What?
15:24Mr. Harrison, you must help me out. I really don't know these two ladies here. I believe you can surely understand me.
15:30I don't know much about the lady in pink, but I've heard about Katie Cox.
15:34I heard Miss Cox stands out among the pool of rich young ladies in this city with her gorgeous appearance and ability.
15:40She got into an elite university in the States at 16, and she's created an extraordinary, extraordinary professional portfolio before graduation.
15:50She's not the same as you social butterflies who only like parties and banquets.
15:55Thank you so much for hyping me up, Mr.
15:58Harrison. Chase. Harrison. You can call me Chase. I'm your little Shawnee's friend. I overheard you calling him that once. How sweet.
16:06Let me tell you, don't be mistaken by his poker face. He's actually very much obsessed.
16:11Alright, alright, cut it out. Let's go.
16:17Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay?
16:19Yeah.
16:21Do the thing this close to you, Sean. Your embrace is so low.
16:25What are you doing?
16:27Well, your awkwardness erases the coldness from your face. It's actually kind of cute.
16:33Go ahead.
16:34Hello?
16:35Kate, it's Joan. Remember you have asked about the investment? I have incredible news for you.
16:49What is it, Joan? Tell me.
16:51There's a mysterious investor who's absolutely enamored with your architectural design.
16:55They want to invest in you, Kate, to help you start your own architectural firm.
16:58Are you serious, Joan? This is a dream come true. You know how much I've wanted to start my own firm.
17:05I knew I'd be thrilled, so I'm calling them as soon as I can firm with them.
17:10So, who is this investor? I'd love to have their contacts so I can say thanks.
17:16Oh yeah, Kate. The investor doesn't want to meet you just yet. They believe the right moment will come when it's meant to be.
17:21Why wouldn't they want to meet me? I would love the chance to express my gratitude and show them my vision directly.
17:29Kate, the investor insisted that there's no rush. They have complete faith in your talents and want to see your success unfold naturally.
17:36Patience, my friend.
17:40Hmm.
17:41People want to sit and talk for them rather than just Americans.
17:47I would like to ask for a choice.
18:04Great question.
18:06You know, a good night's sleep makes a good worker.
18:24The deadline arrives soon.
18:26Deadline? You know you're all your own boss, right?
18:29Exactly. I make my own deadline.
18:32So, how's it going?
18:34Yep. This is my sketch. What are your thoughts?
18:39At first glance, it makes me feel like I'm traveling through a space tunnel with dazzling starlight.
18:49The sketch is titled Cosmic Eye.
18:52Look, don't the countless nebulae look like a pair of twinkling eyes?
18:56Yeah.
18:58I believe the main focus of our future expedition lies in the universe.
19:02Over here is the fourth dimensional world, designed using Escher style.
19:08Hmm. I'm impressed.
19:12I didn't think a kid that grew up with a silver spoon would know much about design.
19:17Tell me, what do you think?
19:21Satisfactory.
19:21Just one word?
19:24Do you think I stand a chance?
19:26Oh, don't get too full of yourself.
19:28There's always somebody out there that's more talented.
19:31Don't be jealous of my talent.
19:33Are you afraid I'm going to overshadow you in our marriage or something?
19:36Your imagination runs wild.
19:38Miss Cox, your slot is right after Cox Architects.
19:55Really?
19:56What a coincidence.
19:57What a coincidence.
19:57This is the fourth dimensional world.
20:06This is my design.
20:08She's presenting my ideas that I've been working on for over a month of sleepless nights.
20:12How did this get into your hands?
20:15It's a mysterious and undiscovered world.
20:18The one in the front, could you please sit down?
20:21You're blocking our view.
20:21This young designer from Cox is pretty impressive.
20:26Not bad.
20:28I heard that she's James Cox's daughter, the young lady of Cox Architects.
20:32Really?
20:33She's really talented and knowledgeable.
20:36She certainly has a bright future ahead.
20:39Bullshit!
20:39She's a thief!
20:42Are you going to mention Cosmic Eye and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?
20:45As well as academic research areas and artistic exchange spaces using new high-end technology
20:50like photoelectric curtain walls and LED light systems?
20:54How do you know the details of my concept?
20:58How do you know the details of my concept?
21:01Because you're a thief and this is my design.
21:05Why would you say that?
21:07I designed it with almost a month.
21:09How dare you?
21:10You've stolen literally every detail of my work.
21:13Is this how big corporations like Cox get to the top by stealing other people's ideas?
21:17Are you accusing her of stealing your concept?
21:19Yes, every detail.
21:22And luckily, I have proof on my laptop.
21:24I have rough drafts and 3D models.
21:25I can show you.
21:26Show me.
21:36What the?
21:41What the?
21:42You're as good at conspiracies as always, huh?
21:49What are you talking about, Katie?
21:51I apologize, everyone, for my little sister.
21:55There has clearly been some personal issues.
21:57And she's not very much acting like herself at the moment.
22:01I'm sorry, Mr. Sawyer.
22:03I don't have any proof.
22:07Well...
22:07What?
22:13What?
22:17Kate!
22:21Thanks a lot.
22:22You're designing your own with a right to the project.
22:25You really are talented.
22:27Not as talented as you.
22:29But you should know, you're going straight to hell.
22:32You see, in the competition, Katie,
22:36you really should do everything you can to win.
22:40Don't be too upset, sis.
22:42This project would have belonged to me with or without your design.
22:45Ethan had already pulled the strings from you.
22:47You really missed a good helper.
22:49Hey, pretty lady.
23:13Can I buy you a drink?
23:14Um, no, thank you.
23:20I, I think I'm, I'm just going to go.
23:25Oh, oh, oh.
23:26Okay.
23:27I'm fine.
23:28I'm fine.
23:28Yeah.
23:31Cox Architects officially bagged the project from today's bidding.
23:35I heard Rebecca Cox really made a good impression today.
23:38And she's dating Ethan Lowe.
23:41Who is that?
23:42The person in charge of the technology center?
23:45Ethan Lowe from Lowe Corporation?
23:48I heard he used to go out with Kate.
23:50Will you stop?
23:51Listen, I think something is strange with them.
23:56What, you think Cox is playing dirty?
24:00Well, didn't I ask you to ensure a fair bidding?
24:04Earlier, I told Mr. Sawyer to give Imperial Design a chance
24:08and carry out the competition in a fair manner.
24:10Perhaps Mr. Sawyer assumed that I allowed the small company to participate in the bidding
24:15to gain popularity.
24:18He wasn't aware of my intention to take care of Kate.
24:21So that's why they eliminated her designs.
24:25Call Hadley.
24:26Have him check on that bidding.
24:31Oh God, it's Kate.
24:32What?
24:33Where is that?
24:34I'm not sure.
24:35Probably some hotel.
24:37Damn, it's stated above here that there will be a live video at 7.30pm.
24:40Well, call the police, man!
24:46I've got him!
24:46Stop struggling.
25:06You're St. Larson.
25:07Ah, that's right!
25:09So you do recognize me.
25:11You had complete contempt for me back then, didn't you?
25:14I've long, long waited to ruin you.
25:18Personally.
25:20Oh, no, no, no!
25:21Don't be so fierce, baby girl.
25:23There's people watching us.
25:24Let me go!
25:27Let me go!
25:28You're not going to get away with this!
25:29Oh, you poor thing.
25:31You actually think people care about you, don't you?
25:35Even your parents have abandoned you.
25:37Help!
25:38You're just going to be my little toy in bed.
25:42If this, no one's coming for you, I think I'll take my first bite.
25:49Help!
25:50Somebody help!
25:51No one's coming for you.
25:52No, no, no.
25:52No.
25:54Who are you?
25:58Kate, Kate, hold on, hold on.
26:00Hey, hey, hey, hey.
26:02How are you?
26:03Sean.
26:03Yeah, yeah, that's right.
26:04It's your Sean-y.
26:06Everything's going to be okay now, all right?
26:14Woo!
26:15Okay.
26:16Let's go.
26:17Are you okay?
26:18There you go.
26:20And find out what happened tonight.
26:24Where am I?
26:41Okay, okay.
26:42Hey.
26:43You're in the hospital.
26:46But I just talked to the doctors and they reassured me that everything's going to be okay.
26:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
26:51Just relax.
26:55You need some rest so you can recover.
27:01Thank you for taking care of me, Sean.
27:03Yeah.
27:04I really don't know what I would have done without you.
27:15You mean the world to me, Kate.
27:19And seeing you hurt like that, it just...
27:23It broke me.
27:24I want to be with you from now on, no matter what.
27:30So, what are you doing this weekend?
27:58I have a meeting with a new client.
27:59He wants me to design his villa.
28:02But aside from that, nothing.
28:04Why do you ask?
28:06Oh, it's Chase's grandfather's 80th birthday.
28:08I have a plus one.
28:09I wanted to see if you want to come along.
28:12Or if you're not willing to join, then I can just ask somebody else.
28:18Will you introduce me as your Katie baby?
28:22No, no, never mind.
28:28I'll go anyway.
28:30In the love arena, they say that the first one who falls is the one that loses.
28:36And I'm doomed to lose my heart to you.
28:39Yeah.
28:42Yeah.
28:47Mr. Love?
28:47Mr. Love?
29:01Yes?
29:03Oh, you must be the architect.
29:05You look way younger than I expected.
29:07Oh.
29:15Catherine Cox.
29:16Your name rings the bell.
29:19Well, your surname rings a bell as well.
29:22Mind sharing the story?
29:25Not very good memories, but I'm sure you're nothing like the Lowe that I know.
29:29Sure, it's quite a common name.
29:33Well, Mr. Lowe, if you'd like to share with me your ideas as we tour the villa.
29:38Sure.
29:39I wanted to have a classical vibe, but I also need a gym, theater, basketball court, and indoor swimming pool.
29:49Okay, we can do that.
29:52Um, well, I think I have a general idea of what you're looking for. Let me show you.
29:56Sure.
29:57I'm going to find nothing to be faulted.
30:06This design plan looks just the way I had envisioned.
30:11Ms. Cox.
30:11You're as good as top designers I've seen from abroad.
30:17This concept of indoor swimming pool is really innovative.
30:21It's going to look even better after rendering.
30:24Okay, how much time do you need before we start the construction?
30:27Two weeks should be good.
30:28I want to make sure everything's perfect.
30:31Okay, then you'll have it.
30:32Uncle Wesley!
30:50Hey!
30:52Planning on doing some renovations to your villa soon?
30:55When are you going to have time for that with your busy schedule?
30:58You should let Cox Architecture take care of that for you.
31:00Oh, Rebecca is a great designer.
31:03You should give her a chance.
31:06Ethan, I know a thing or two about the Cox designers.
31:10Their design style looks luxurious, but too traditional a resort for my preference.
31:15Well, you can express all of your desires to Cox and they'll take care of it for you.
31:20You know, their reputation's taken a bit of a hit lately.
31:25You could really use your business.
31:27What do you say, Uncle?
31:29Did you do it for me?
31:29No, I met Rebecca before.
31:33She doesn't have the experience and she knows nothing about the latest material and high-tech appliances.
31:40I'm downstairs waiting for you in the car.
31:54You can come down now.
31:56What's the hurry?
31:57Your lips feel lonely without mine on them.
32:00Oh, wow.
32:01I didn't know that's the way that she's been talking to her little Shawnee.
32:05Wait, am I on speaker?
32:06What is she doing?
32:13Just standing there staring.
32:15What, is she deaf?
32:17Sean, I have a feeling that your wife is thinking some naughty feelings and you're probably the subject.
32:24Look, she's not like you, okay?
32:26Honestly, the more I see sister-in-law, the more I find her cute.
32:32We live in the same city, but you want her over somehow?
32:35Hey, I'm warning you.
32:37Don't talk about her like that.
32:39She doesn't do taken lightly.
32:41Kate?
32:46Kate, are you okay?
32:47Whoa.
32:53Isn't that frightening?
32:56No.
32:57I was just lost in my thoughts earlier.
33:02Hmm.
33:04You want to get in the car?
33:05Hi, Kate.
33:12What were you thinking just now?
33:14You didn't hear the loud honks?
33:16Based on your expression, I could guess Sean's probably on your mind.
33:20Actually, I was thinking about Chris Evans.
33:23Good one.
33:24I don't believe you.
33:25I probably shouldn't have asked that question, huh?
33:29It's a little humiliating witnessing your little lovey-dovey moments.
33:32Anyway, Sean's not particularly pleasant with his personality or his good temper.
33:39So what is it that you see in him?
33:43Well, now that I'm in love with him, I see all his weaknesses as strengths.
33:48And surprisingly, those gentle and understanding men make me feel a bit insecure.
33:55So I'm very fond of all of his qualities.
33:59I probably shouldn't have came along today, huh?
34:05No, no.
34:06You're humorous.
34:09Young Master Harrison.
34:12I actually feel more relaxed with you here.
34:15So what are you saying?
34:16That you're not relaxed when you're with me?
34:19Isn't that bound to happen?
34:20When you're getting along with someone you like, it can make your heart race and make you feel a little lost.
34:29I can explain.
34:43It's just some random pop-up ad on a web page.
34:49It's fine.
34:50I usually watch those at home in secret.
34:52I'm shocked we have the same hobby.
34:54What do you think?
35:08Nice.
35:0816 or 40?
35:14What are you looking at?
35:16Oh.
35:18Go and get changed.
35:20Why?
35:20Because that dress is too revealing and I don't like it.
35:31Miss Cox.
35:33Mr. Lyons really cares for you.
35:37What do you mean?
35:38He does.
35:39When a man cares for a woman, he becomes possessive.
35:43He wouldn't want her to dress provocatively and only he would be allowed to see her like that.
35:47After having worked in this business for many years, I've encountered numerous men.
35:54I think I'm a pretty good judge of character.
36:00And I think if you come in next week with those numbers that you showed me, it should be an easy deal.
36:05This is it.
36:05Perfect.
36:06Yeah, I mean, you've got a lot of research under you, so I think it should be easy.
36:10You tarnished Rebecca's reputation by falsely accusing her of copying your work?
36:20You need to go make amends now.
36:23I'm busy working on building my own career.
36:26I don't have time for your pathetic little show.
36:29What?
36:29Did you finally regret your choices?
36:32You know, maybe if you were a little bit more like you used to be,
36:35I could have provided you with some resources, too.
36:38Your words hold no value in comparison.
36:41Your manners are horrific.
36:43Sure.
36:44Why don't you ask your father if he'll make you the heir and see how he responds?
36:49You're out of your mind.
36:52It's no wonder your parents disowned you.
36:55You deserve it.
36:57Ethan, do you even hear yourself?
36:59Am I wrong?
37:01You told reporters that the Cox family imprisoned and tortured you.
37:06Yet, you look perfectly healthy and full of energy.
37:09You have been nothing but a nuisance to the Cox family.
37:13Do you realize that your accusations have damaged their reputation and plummeted the stock prices?
37:20Overnight, the company's market value dropped by $2 billion.
37:24Do you even get that?
37:26The only misfortune here is that I actually once fell for you.
37:30Don't you walk away from me.
37:32It's your responsibility to fix this now.
37:35You need to repair the reputation of the Cox family.
37:40Bullshit.
37:41And get out of my way.
37:42I hope Cox goes bankrupt.
37:49Who were you just talking to?
37:51Well, well.
37:52I see you made peace with Ethan, huh?
37:55You were just talking to Ethan?
37:57Um, I...
37:58Kate, please come with me.
37:59I'd like to have a word.
38:03Sean, what's going on?
38:05Sean, it was nothing.
38:07We were just catching up.
38:08Why would you want to catch up with him?
38:09After everything he's done to you?
38:11You have nothing to worry about.
38:13I chose you, remember?
38:15I love you.
38:16I know, Kate.
38:19Our love is stronger than any past mistakes.
38:22Let's just focus on the future.
38:23Kate, I need to tell you something.
38:26Something I've been holding inside for far too long.
38:29What is it, Sean?
38:30You can tell me anything.
38:32Every moment I spent with you has been pure torture.
38:36I mean, your presence just consumes me.
38:40Consumed by your presence, and I can no longer suppress it.
38:42Sean, I never expected...
38:49Kate, you drive me crazy.
38:52I mean, your beauty, your spirit, everything about you captivates me.
38:56I mean, I just...
38:58I just want to feel your touch.
39:00I just want to...
39:01I just want to taste your lips.
39:05I just want to lose myself in you.
39:07I never realized you felt this way.
39:10But we have to be careful.
39:13There's so many consequences and risks.
39:15I've thought about the consequences and risks.
39:18But we can't deny ourselves of this.
39:20The pool between us is too strong.
39:22I mean, we can't go throughout life not experiencing this.
39:27Sean, I've been trying to fight this attraction.
39:31But it's becoming impossible.
39:34But we have to be careful for everyone involved.
39:41And I promise to do everything I can to protect you.
39:46But let's not deny ourselves a chance to experience
39:50this intoxicating connection.
39:54Even if...
39:55Just for a stellar moment.
39:58Sean.
40:00I don't know if we're making the right choice,
40:02but in this moment,
40:05I warn you.
40:06All of you.
40:07Okay, there you are.
40:21Allow me to introduce you to my nephew, Ethan.
40:26So,
40:27you're Ethan's uncle?
40:29Yeah.
40:31Ethan and I are family.
40:32So,
40:32seems like fate has a way of intertwining our lives, huh?
40:38So,
40:39who are you?
40:41Who am I?
40:45Oh.
40:47So,
40:48you married me
40:49on the false assumption that I was Ethan's uncle.
40:52So,
40:53you can get back at your ex, right?
40:54Is that it?
40:56Sean,
40:57it wasn't supposed to be like this.
40:58I thought that...
41:00So,
41:00I was nothing more than just a pawn in your game?
41:03Just a tool for your revenge?
41:04Is that it?
41:05Sean,
41:05it wasn't supposed to be like this.
41:07I...
41:07I thought...
41:08You thought you could use me
41:09to get to him.
41:12I have some other guests to attend to.
41:14Enjoy the rest of your evening, okay?
41:18Sean,
41:19I made a mistake,
41:21okay?
41:21It was a misunderstanding.
41:23A mistake that shattered my trust for you, Kate.
41:24How do we move on from this?
41:29I love you, Sean.
41:31Please just give me another chance.
41:32No.
41:33Love can't be built on lies and revenge.
41:37I thought what we had was real, Kate.
41:39And now I can't even believe anything that you say to me.
41:42I...
41:43I made a mistake.
41:44I'm sorry.
41:45I love you.
41:46I truly, truly do.
41:47If you give me another chance,
41:49I'll make it up to you.
41:49I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
41:51You can't make it up to me.
41:54Something like this,
41:54I need time.
41:56And healing.
41:59And I...
42:00No, I need space from you on this.
42:02Ladies and gentlemen,
42:17after voting,
42:18we are now down to the final competition.
42:21Now,
42:21the final winning plan
42:23for the new City Art Museum
42:25will be either
42:26the design by Rebecca Cox
42:29from Cox Architects
42:31or
42:32Catherine Cox
42:33from CC Studios.
42:35But for now,
42:36how about we take a quick break, huh?
42:38Yes,
42:39the final presentation
42:40will begin
42:41in 20 minutes.
42:46You're sure gonna make it, Kate.
42:48Thank you so much.
42:49Everything I've worked for
42:50comes down to this moment.
42:52I've triple-checked my design
42:53to make sure it's secure.
42:55There's no way
42:55anyone can steal it like this.
42:57Okay.
43:04Damn it!
43:07Kate, isn't it?
43:10I couldn't help
43:11hearing your distress.
43:12Is there anything
43:12I can do to assist?
43:14Dr. Adamson,
43:15I can't believe you're here.
43:17My model,
43:17it was damaged.
43:18I don't know how it happened.
43:20Let's take a look.
43:24Don't worry, Kate.
43:25I can fix this.
43:27Your design deserves
43:28to be presented
43:28in its full glory.
43:31You have no idea
43:32how much I appreciate this.
43:34You're talented, Kate.
43:38That is remarkable.
43:40Your design reflects
43:42ingenuity,
43:44elegance,
43:45and a deep understanding
43:46of architectural concepts.
43:50I am truly impressed.
43:52Dr. Adamson,
43:53your words of praise
43:55mean the world to me.
43:57And this competition is tough,
43:58but I truly believe
44:00in my design.
44:01Well, Kate,
44:03I see immense potential
44:04in you,
44:05and I'd be willing
44:07to personally
44:08recommend your work
44:10to the committee.
44:10Your talent
44:12deserves recognition
44:14and opportunity
44:15to flourish.
44:16I don't even know
44:18what to say.
44:20Thank you so much.
44:22Now go on.
44:22The stage is yours.
44:28Hello, everyone.
44:29Thank you so much
44:30for coming today.
44:31My name is Catherine Cox,
44:32and today I will be presenting
44:34my project titled
44:35Cosmic Eye.
44:36And thank you all
44:40so much for coming.
44:41I hope you all
44:41have an amazing evening.
44:46Thank you so much.
44:50I could not have done
44:51this without you.
44:52Well, actually,
44:53there's one more person
44:54you need to thank,
44:55and he's the
44:56mysterious investor
44:57who's been backing
44:58your architectural firm.
45:01He reached out to me
45:02and had me come here
45:03to ensure your work
45:05received fair treatment.
45:06Who on earth
45:07is this investor?
45:08Well, you're about
45:09to find out, Kate.
45:11The investor feels
45:12it's time for
45:13you two to meet.
45:17Congratulations again.
45:26Sean?
45:28You're the investor?
45:30Yes.
45:31It was me all along.
45:34Take a seat.
45:34I feel I owe you
45:37an explanation.
45:41You see, on paper,
45:42my name is Sean Lyons.
45:45Having my mother's maiden name
45:46made it easy for privacy.
45:49But normally,
45:49people know me
45:50as Sean Alvarez.
45:53Pedro Alvarez?
45:54My father.
45:55Yes.
45:56I'm the heir
45:57to the Alvarez family,
45:58and I came to the West Coast
45:59to execute a new business venture.
46:04Why did you marry me?
46:08Honestly.
46:09To escape the arranged marriage
46:11that my father imposed upon me.
46:14And, of course,
46:15you made yourself very hard
46:16to ignore when we first met,
46:18which I didn't dislike.
46:19So,
46:23this whole time
46:25our marriage was
46:25just a ruse?
46:27A ruse for both you and I,
46:29wasn't it?
46:34And now that the business deal
46:35went through,
46:36I need to move back
46:36to the East Coast immediately.
46:38So,
46:39I thought that there should be
46:41a bit of closure
46:42between us.
46:45Here's the divorce agreement.
46:47Take a look.
46:48There was nothing sincere
46:51between you and me?
46:52No.
47:00Why did you invest in me?
47:04Because you took care of Mia,
47:06and you failed
47:07the investors meeting,
47:08and you tried to poison my dog.
47:18All my possessions belong to you.
47:36You, Kate Cox,
47:37belong to me.
47:39You really thought
47:46I could let you go?
47:50Why did you do this to me?
47:54After all the little teases
47:55you gave me,
47:56I thought one would be harmless.
47:57Katie.
47:59Sean.
47:59Oh, Sean.
48:06You found a brilliant way
48:08to shut me up.
48:09me?
48:10I thought I would need help you.
48:12You are just kidding.
48:14I did not.
48:14I thought I did not.
48:15One was such a good answer
48:15going to you.
48:16Go to the background.
48:20I did not think you made me
48:21you.
