00:00Jonathan Asher?
00:09I knew it was you.
00:12Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.
00:17Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been signed quite yet. I'm still just a nominee.
00:21Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.
00:28Oh my God.
00:29Dad, did you propose already?
00:36Congratulations, Mr. Asher. I see you wasted no time.
00:40I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan, but spending a million dollars on a ring is a little over the top, don't you think?
00:48In my humble opinion, only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.
00:56You two really make a beautiful couple.
01:00By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing. Maybe in the future we could work together?
01:06You can speak to me about any future book deals. I'm also Jonathan's agent.
01:11Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media. Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.
01:21Today you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.
01:24During my acceptance speech, I am going to announce the scandalous affair of Anne and Henry, and I'm going to knock those two bastards right off their highways.
01:36Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.
01:49Now, for tonight's main event, please join me in welcoming this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature,
01:59the author of the critically acclaimed novel, The Burning Bush, Mr. Jonathan Asher.
02:07Please, come to the podium.
02:19Excuse me.
02:32Jonathan Asher is a fraud.
02:43Who is this woman?
02:44What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious award?
02:48Oh my God.
02:49Oh my God.
02:49I know her.
02:51That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
02:56Mom?
02:57What are you doing here?
02:58This is the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.
03:01I'm warning you.
03:02Don't start me thinking.
03:04Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
03:09I know what she's doing.
03:10I know what she's doing.
03:13Jonathan, she got all dressed up so she could barge in here to this event and beg for you to take her back.
03:20And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you, she's sorely mistaken.
03:35Oh, babe, you are too sweet.
03:36Oh, in case you haven't heard, your husband, oh no, your ex-husband has already proposed to me.
03:53Just days ago, you were begging to grow old with me and now you've already proposed to another woman?
04:01Talk about jumping the gun.
04:03Now that I'm free of you, you filthy gold digger, I've decided to move on with my life.
04:09Start a new one.
04:11On our first day officially together, he gave me this million dollar pen and ring.
04:18What did you get?
04:19After 25 years.
04:21A little plastic hotel pen.
04:23Go ahead and laugh.
04:30Once I take back everything that belongs to me, you won't be laughing anymore.
04:36Hey, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.
04:39Your husband, your child, the home that you put your whole life and soul into.
04:47It's all mine.
04:49Everything that belongs to you?
04:51Oh, come on in.
04:54Good luck with that.
04:55We don't owe you anything.
04:59Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.
05:02Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.
05:04But it's too late.
05:06Even without you, Mr. Asher's reputation will let us dominate the publishing world.
05:12Are you sure about that?
05:15Don't try to bluff, Mom.
05:17Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar of Roy Publishing House.
05:20Ever since you kicked out your biggest author, now you're going to be the laughing stock of the entire publishing world.
05:27Miss Roy, you really shouldn't have gone against us.
05:30Your biggest mistake was believing you were more than just a sheltered housewife.
05:35So because I was a housewife, you all think it's okay to humiliate me?
05:42I mean, look around, Mom.
05:45Everyone's here because they believe in Dad.
05:48His reputation.
05:50His prestige.
05:51They all just want to revel in his success.
05:56You know the company can't survive without him.
06:01So you're all here to grab a piece of Jonathan Asher's glorious reputation.
06:08Well, there's just one little problem.
06:10It's all fake.
06:11What do you mean by that?
06:17Oh, she's a lonely, vengeful ex-wife trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.
06:25How pathetic.
06:28I'm guessing that she neglected her husband during her marriage.
06:31And now that she's tossed aside, she's finally regretting it.
06:35What an ignorant woman.
06:37Jonathan, did you forget how your books were actually written?
06:44The acknowledgements you wrote at the front.
06:46The acknowledgements were written for me.
06:49I'm Jonathan's real muse.
06:52After he ditched his basic or in-house wife like you,
06:56now Jonathan can be inspired to write even better novels.
07:03Oh, his real muse.
07:07That's beautiful.
07:08Did you inspire him with all of your lacy underwear?
07:14You think you can humiliate me?
07:17Look at me.
07:19I'm gorgeous, seductive.
07:22Like a luxury purse.
07:25And you're just a filthy kitchen rat.
07:26Jonathan, it seems that you haven't told your new fiancé the truth yet.
07:38But don't worry.
07:40I can do that right now.
07:41The truth is that the copyrights to Jonathan Asher's novels do not belong to him.
07:49That's right.
07:56The copyrights were transferred to me.
07:59We wanted to make sure you didn't get one cent from the royalties.
08:03You transferred the copyrights to your mistress?
08:07I've known you for 25 years, and in all those 25 years you were a stingy miser.
08:11Lily's my true love.
08:13And she's now my fiancé, so everything that belongs to me belongs to her.
08:18Mr. Asher, you're a real romantic.
08:20And it was all my idea, Mom.
08:24Now that we kicked you out of the house, don't even think about coming for our wealth.
08:34You hit me.
08:35I can't believe you just hit me.
08:38I should have taught you a lesson a long time ago.
08:40Then maybe you would have grown into a person who knows right from wrong.
08:44Get off.
08:46Jonathan, you, you're the boldest liar of them all.
08:50You know damn well that those copyrights belong to me.
08:55You have no right to transfer them to your whore.
09:01Jonathan, what is she talking about?
09:04Oh, God, don't...
09:05Didn't you write all of your own novels?
09:08Don't believe some ravings of a madwoman, darling.
09:13This is your last warning.
09:15If you don't get the hell out of here, you are going to regret.
09:22I'm not going anywhere.
09:24Today, I'm exposing the truth.
09:28Jonathan?
09:29Hmm?
09:30What in the world is she talking about?
09:35Here it goes.
09:35Good evening, everyone.
10:01As tonight has been so inconveniently hijacked by this woman.
10:10I suppose it's appropriate to introduce you.
10:13Everyone, this is my ex-wife, Anne.
10:16For 25 years, I have worked like a dog to provide you with a life of love.
10:24Meanwhile, she and former CEO of Roy Publishing House, Mr. Henry Harper, have been having a sordid affair.
10:40Since then, the two have conspired to oust myself, my lovely daughter, Olivia, out of the company and blacklist us from the industry.
10:59She's handing Harper's mistress?
11:01Betraying her husband and her daughter?
11:04How shameless.
11:05I never wanted to expose you like this, Anne.
11:08You did all our years together.
11:10But today, you took it too far.
11:12Coming in here, tarnishing my reputation.
11:16So don't blame me for exposing your secret affair to the press.
11:22You brought this on yourself.
11:24Jonathan!
11:26How dare you try and twist the facts like this?
11:29Have you no shame?
11:31You shouldn't have come here today.
11:32Now the whole world knows you're a cheating slut.
11:37Who's going to believe your empty accusations now?
11:41So, if I got this right, the CEO and chairwoman of an elite publishing house had an affair.
11:49And then I'll save you from the company as revenge for uncovering it?
11:53This is a huge spilt.
11:56Once the news breaks, Roy Publishing House's stocks are going to plummet.
12:04What are you going to tell the board members then?
12:09Got it all planned out.
12:12You're willing to tell outright lies about me?
12:15To destroy me and all just for money?
12:17You need to understand that ruining you is easier than lifting my pen.
12:22This is what you need to learn your place.
12:27What happened to you?
12:29You're a monster.
12:30Just admit that you lost, Anne.
12:34I could destroy you right now, but I won't.
12:37Given our years together, if you can shut your mouth and be the subservient housewife that you once were,
12:43I may take it easy on you.
12:44You think you're so clever.
12:53You disgust me.
12:56Acclaimed guests, I came here today to expose a dirty lie.
13:01All of Jonathan Asher's novels were actually written by me.
13:06I, his wife of 25 years, and the true author of all of his books.
13:15This woman is crazy.
13:19Ever since I divorced her, she's been having a mental breakdown.
13:23She is hallucinating that she wrote all my novels.
13:27The truth is, she can't accept the fact that her life, it's amounted to nothing.
13:34I can testify to that.
13:36My dad wrote all those books.
13:38That's the absolute truth.
13:39Exactly.
13:40Exactly.
13:41Mr. Asher is the author.
13:43Of course Jonathan wrote all of his own novels.
13:46I'm the inspiration.
13:48Or his masterpiece is.
13:49That's right, my darling.
13:51I wrote every single line.
13:57Every single line was written for you?
14:01You're delusional.
14:02You lunatic.
14:04You don't have a shred of evidence.
14:06Who's going to believe your empty accusations?
14:09Oh, you'd like to see the evidence.
14:11Can't present evidence.
14:13Then this counts as defamation.
14:15And I'll put you in prison.
14:18Miss Roy?
14:19You should leave.
14:21Otherwise, we're going to have to teach you a lesson.
14:24I've already said I'm not leaving until I take back everything the Asher's took from me.
14:29Everything we took from you.
14:35Clean this up.

37:39Did you know that I designed the kitchen?
37:42You did. I did not know that.
37:44Oppressive.
37:46I used to love cooking in there.
37:48Do you ever want to cook in there again?
37:49Has a buyer?
37:54I don't understand. How can I cook in someone else's kitchen?
37:58I'm the buyer.
