Transcript

00:00:00Ma'am, stay with me.

00:00:11We've got you.

00:00:12Doctor, please save my baby.

00:00:19Please save my baby.

00:00:22I'm sorry, Miss Vaughn.

00:00:23Your condition's critical.

00:00:24Protocol says we have to save you first.

00:00:26No.

00:00:26I've been on bed rest for nearly five months.

00:00:28Over three hundred injections to keep my baby alive.

00:00:31My husband.

00:00:32He's waited for this baby for so long.

00:00:34He loves this child more than anything.

00:00:36Doctor, please.

00:00:38We'll do everything we can to save both of you.

00:00:58Congratulations, Miss Vaughn.

00:01:04You just gave birth to a very healthy baby boy.

00:01:12I'll call him Michael.

00:01:14Just like my husband always wanted.

00:01:18Come on, Michael.

00:01:19Let's go find Daddy.

00:01:20Thanks, babe, for making me a dad.

00:01:31You're sure Isabella doesn't know a thing, right?

00:01:34Of course not.

00:01:35No, no.

00:01:36I was very careful when switching the babies.

00:01:39She will treat our son like her own

00:01:41and kiss him and cradle him to sleep

00:01:44while her real daughter is rotting in a dumpster

00:01:47like yesterday's trash.

00:01:49Mm-hmm.

00:01:57She will waste years loving our son

00:02:00and then give her evil scent she owns.

00:02:04She needs a coming.

00:02:06This is very important.

00:02:08You have to be sure.

00:02:09Are you absolutely certain

00:02:11that Isabella will never find her own child?

00:02:14Her baby?

00:02:16I dumped it by the trash can where it belongs.

00:02:18She won't last long out there

00:02:19on a rainy day like this.

00:02:21Yes.

00:02:22Yes, I promise.

00:02:23I promise.

00:02:23Thanks, babe, for handling that.

00:02:51How long until we're a real family, though?

00:02:57I don't think I can, like, spend days

00:02:59watching you play house with that ugly cow

00:03:02and watching our son come home with Mommy.

00:03:04Just hang tight, beautiful.

00:03:07The company is still in that stupid woman's name.

00:03:11It's one of her premarital assets.

00:03:13We just have to wait until our son is old enough

00:03:15and then she'll sign over everything to him

00:03:17and then we can kick her to the curb like garbage.

00:03:20Okay, then you have to promise me one day

00:03:22we will sip champagne in that pathetic loser's mansion

00:03:26and spend her money like royalty.

00:03:30Kick her out like a dog.

00:03:31Sorry.

00:03:32I promise.

00:03:35My husband.

00:03:37My assistant.

00:03:39The two people I trusted most.

00:03:41Stabbing me in the back.

00:03:43Swapping my baby.

00:03:45And tearing through my life like vultures.

00:03:47Yes.

00:03:50Isabella, you was absolutely radiant, darling.

00:03:59May I hold a baby?

00:04:04Congratulations, you too.

00:04:06Oh my god, he is the most adorable thing

00:04:08I've ever seen in my life.

00:04:09Hmm.

00:04:12Hmm.

00:04:13Hmm.

00:04:15Hmm.

00:04:20Mikey, are you ready for your big field trip today?

00:04:33Come on, let's go.

00:04:37Darling, Woody, I thought your day was absolutely packed.

00:04:41I didn't think you'd be back in time for Michael's little trip.

00:04:43Michael is my son, Nathan.

00:04:45I wouldn't miss his first field trip for the world.

00:04:47Of course I'll.

00:04:48You're not seriously coming, are you, Mom?

00:04:51I already told my whole class that my mom's young and super hot.

00:04:57If they see you looking like a tired old granny, they'll laugh at you.

00:05:03Michael, Michael, you cannot talk to your mother that way, okay?

00:05:07She might look old and a little worn out, but that's because she works very hard for this family.

00:05:14Right?

00:05:16Thanks, Mom, but you should probably go back to work or whatever.

00:05:20I've already got Dad and Aunt Ava coming, and that's way better anyway.

00:05:24Oh, don't forget to book that five-star resort.

00:05:27I want the biggest suite, the one, the hot spring and chocolate fountain.

00:05:32And everything.

00:05:33Don't take everything he says to heart, Mrs. Vaughn.

00:05:36He didn't mean it, I'm sure.

00:05:39You know your son adores you.

00:05:42Deep down.

00:05:43Of course I'll forgive my son.

00:05:46But.

00:05:48Ava.

00:05:50I thought you were supposed to be at a meeting today.

00:05:53Why are you here?

00:05:55Yes!

00:05:56You know, I was.

00:05:58Um, sorry, so basically...

00:05:59So, well, I called her.

00:06:01Yes.

00:06:01You know, I knew that you were busy at work all day, and I figured Ava could come over and help Michael pack for his trip.

00:06:08You know I'm helpless with these things.

00:06:09Yeah, yes.

00:06:10Really.

00:06:10I see.

00:06:11I see.

00:06:15Honestly, I can't thank you enough for all the support you give me at work, Mrs. Vaughn.

00:06:19So, when Mr. Vaughn called me, of course I rushed right over.

00:06:23That's the least I can do after everything you've done for me.

00:06:27Plus, Michael is such an angel.

00:06:29I love spending time with him.

00:06:32You wouldn't mind, would you?

00:06:33Take care, babe.

00:06:42What a blessed woman you are.

00:06:45Such a precious boy.

00:06:47Devoted husband.

00:06:49Don't you give it a thought.

00:06:51You focus on your work.

00:06:52I'll take care of everything in your home.

00:06:56Hey, buddy, why don't you go play with your car outside, and Ava and Daddy have some grown-up business to discuss.

00:07:15Let's go along.

00:07:22Woo!

00:07:26We finally have the place to ourselves?

00:07:28I have missed you so much.

00:07:33Wait, wait, wait.

00:07:34I want to take it slow.

00:07:36Savor the moment.

00:07:37I mean, tonight I am dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant,

00:07:41I'm sleeping in a suite that your wife paid for.

00:07:45Oh, and I'm screwing your husband.

00:08:06Hi, Miss Vaughn.

00:08:07I just bought the milk's exquisite rock lobster.

00:08:11Fifteen hundred a pound, mind you.

00:08:13Allow me to prepare something very special for you and Michael tonight.

00:08:17How kind.

00:08:30Mrs. Vaughn, I have this new business idea I'm excited about.

00:08:35Unfortunately, the startup funds are a bit out of my reach.

00:08:42You have always been so supportive of me.

00:08:44I was wondering if you'd be willing to help out.

00:08:51Sure.

00:08:52No problem.

00:08:54Well then, it's settled.

00:08:57Let's eat.

00:09:05Michael, your SAT score is coming out soon, right?

00:09:18Yes.

00:09:19Tomorrow.

00:09:20What a big day.

00:09:22I wouldn't miss it for the world.

00:09:24You got this right, little champ.

00:09:27Yeah.

00:09:28Don't worry.

00:09:30I got it.

00:09:30Michael.

00:09:38Still playing that stupid game?

00:09:40Your SAT scores came in and they are embarrassingly low.

00:09:44You're so confident.

00:09:45We spent thousands of dollars on tutors for you,

00:09:48and now you can't even get into community college with this shit.

00:09:51That's the problem.

00:09:57Mom's cash can buy anything.

00:09:59Library donations, fake scholarships, problem solved.

00:10:04Your mother will not be around forever to help.

00:10:07She's even thinking about retiring early.

00:10:09Handing the company over to you.

00:10:11How do you expect her to trust you with scores like this?

00:10:14He's not wrong, Michael.

00:10:16Your mother's going to stand by you,

00:10:17but that doesn't give you a free pass, right?

00:10:19You need to step up and show some drive.

00:10:21You need to prove yourself to her.

00:10:23Prove myself?

00:10:25Please.

00:10:26A score isn't everything.

00:10:28I don't need to be some brown-nosing teacher's pet

00:10:30to impress anyone.

00:10:32I have my own secret weapon

00:10:34to take this family business

00:10:35and blow it up even bigger.

00:10:44Behold, my goddess.

00:10:52Vivian Hartley,

00:10:54a mysterious heiress of an insanely rich family

00:10:57and a business prodigy

00:10:59who got into Harvard at 16,

00:11:01started her own company at 18.

00:11:04Her papers are on the front page

00:11:06of every major financial magazine.

00:11:09People are already calling her

00:11:10the next legendary mogul.

00:11:12Might even build an empire bigger than Mom's.

00:11:16Wait, wait, wait.

00:11:17So you're planning to work with her?

00:11:20Might you a little genius?

00:11:22Exactly.

00:11:23And who knows?

00:11:25With my killer looks and silver tongue,

00:11:27she might even fall head over heels for me

00:11:30and beg me to marry her.

00:11:33Then, bam, Mom's company merges with her empire

00:11:37and our family legacy gets a whole new level.

00:11:41Fine.

00:11:43I'll make a major donation to Harvard.

00:11:45You'll get in.

00:11:46And once you graduate,

00:11:47I'll hand you the company.

00:11:48Mom, you're the best.

00:11:53Oh, you know what?

00:11:54I'm gonna go do the dishes.

00:11:57Babe, I'll go help you though.

00:12:01Mom, I'm heading to my room now.

00:12:05Love you.

00:12:06From this day forward,

00:12:08they think I won't suspect a thing.

00:12:19So they're getting way more ballsy.

00:12:36Your wife is right outside.

00:12:45If she hears us,

00:12:45we'll lose everything we've worked for.

00:12:47It's fine.

00:12:48That stupid hag will never forget her.

00:12:51And once she hands the company to Michael,

00:12:55I'll make love to you right under her nose.

00:12:57Is everything taken care of?

00:13:04Yes, ma'am.

00:13:05The larger company that you kept hidden from Mr. Vine,

00:13:08the one that you inherited from your family,

00:13:11has been officially transferred to your daughter,

00:13:13Miss Vivian.

00:13:14Perfect.

00:13:15Now we just sit back

00:13:17and wait for the final act to be done.

00:13:20They think I'm finished?

00:13:22Wait till my daughter,

00:13:24the one they tried to destroy,

00:13:26rips back everything they stole

00:13:28and drags them straight to hell

00:13:30where they belong.

00:13:38Oh, it's you, Salud.

00:13:39Oh, let me look at you.

00:13:40Are you losing weight?

00:13:41Didn't your mom give you enough allowance to eat?

00:13:43I'm great.

00:13:44All right, calm down.

00:13:45You're more excited to see him than his own mother.

00:13:48Sorry, Mrs. Vaughn.

00:13:49You know how much I adore Michael.

00:13:50I just got carried away.

00:13:53So, Mom, I'm back from college now.

00:13:55Are you ready to hand over the company?

00:13:57Like you promised?

00:13:59Sure.

00:14:00I've arranged the press conference.

00:14:02I'll announce everything then.

00:14:08Oh, my God.

00:14:08Come on.

00:14:09I missed you.

00:14:10Is that true?

00:14:12I know, right?

00:14:13The cleaners can't get back.

00:14:14Of course.

00:14:15Of course.

00:14:15I can't help us, babes.

00:14:16Yeah.

00:14:17I wonder what big news Miss Vaughn has this time.

00:14:21Probably another major announcement, you know.

00:14:23This woman is unstoppable.

00:14:25Look, here comes Miss Vaughn.

00:14:27Thank you all for coming.

00:14:36Effective immediately, I will be stepping down from all of my roles at Vaughn Group.

00:14:41All of my assets and shares will be transferred to Michael Vaughn, who will take over as CEO

00:14:46of Vaughn Group.

00:14:57Miss Vaughn is so young.

00:15:11She's already handing everything over to her son.

00:15:14Now that is what I call true motherly love.

00:15:17I wish I had a mom like that.

00:15:19Wait, isn't that Miss Vaughn's husband?

00:15:25What's he doing holding hands with another woman?

00:15:28Oh, my God.

00:15:29I know her.

00:15:30She's the woman that Miss Vaughn promoted personally.

00:15:32She's her most trustworthy assistant.

00:15:35I have an announcement, too.

00:15:38Michael Vaughn is my biological son.

00:15:41Miss Vaughn, thank you for raising my son all these years, but it's time you give him

00:15:54back to me, along with all the assets you just gave him, right now.

00:16:05On support, she wouldn't be here today.

00:16:07How could she stab her benefactor in the back like this?

00:16:10Sleeping with her husband?

00:16:12Letting her raise her son as her own?

00:16:14No, Miss Vaughn just transferred all of her assets, and then she comes here to claim

00:16:19her son.

00:16:20This must have been her twisted plan all along.

00:16:22This woman's pure evil.

00:16:24Sinking her claws into Miss Vaughn's fortune like the gold-digging leech that she is.

00:16:28And this sorry excuse of a husband.

00:16:30A spineless, lying scum.

00:16:33You two are perfect for each other.

00:16:35Rotten to the core.

00:16:36I made a mistake that a lot of rich, powerful men make.

00:16:40Married the wrong woman.

00:16:43Big fucking deal.

00:16:44Isabella, you were the picture-perfect image of a wife.

00:16:49Dutiful, dignified, and boring as hell.

00:16:54You're always working.

00:16:55Never once thinking about my needs.

00:16:58But Ava, she makes me feel so alive.

00:17:01And she knows how to take care of a man.

00:17:05I do.

00:17:06If you ever really loved me, you'd be grateful that I found a connection like this, because

00:17:12Lord knows, we never had one.

00:17:16So what's your choice, my son?

00:17:19If I may still call you that?

00:17:20Mom, that's the last time I'm calling you that.

00:17:31You might have raised me all those years, sure, but you're not my real mother.

00:17:35Blood doesn't lie.

00:17:37Three of us were a family.

00:17:41And you're nothing but an outsider to us.

00:17:43And I'm done playing pretend with an old, washed-up hag like you.

00:17:49It's over.

00:17:50You're broke now.

00:17:51Don't even have a pot to piss in.

00:17:54So, why don't you just sign the divorce papers and get the hell out of my life?

00:18:01We both know you were never really worthy of me.

00:18:04Hey, after all you've done for me, I'll be generous.

00:18:08How about a whole hundred bucks for your monthly pension?

00:18:12That's my sweet boy.

00:18:13Michael Vaughn is an absolute monster.

00:18:16Miss Vaughn loved him as if he was her own.

00:18:19And she just handed over her entire fortune, and this is how he repays her?

00:18:23Goes and claims some other woman as his mother?

00:18:26And a measly $100 a month?

00:18:29That's downright shameless.

00:18:31Exactly.

00:18:31These three heartless freaks have taken it way too far.

00:18:35Miss Vaughn, don't give in.

00:18:37Let me expose them.

00:18:39Yeah, don't let them get away with it.

00:18:40Miss Vaughn, you obviously need legal counsel.

00:18:43Allow me to represent you so we can bring these dirty scumbags to court.

00:18:47Shut the hell up!

00:18:48All of you, you idiots.

00:18:49What right do you have to stick your noses in our family business?

00:18:55Yeah.

00:18:56Isabella, sign the papers and I'll let you leave with your dignity.

00:19:01Go on.

00:19:10All right.

00:19:14Oh my god.

00:19:32Oh my god.

00:19:33Oh, it's real.

00:19:34It's real.

00:19:36It's real.

00:19:37It's real.

00:19:38She actually signed it.

00:19:40I thought you had a backup plan.

00:19:43You really had me worried there.

00:19:46You are smart when it comes to business.

00:19:48So what?

00:19:49Your husband?

00:19:50Your son?

00:19:52Your whole life is mine now.

00:19:55Oh, and that billion dollar mansion, that's ours too now.

00:20:01So enjoy your hundred dollars.

00:20:03Let's get the hell out of our lives.

00:20:06Hold up.

00:20:07You went through all of that trouble to surprise me.

00:20:10So let me return the favor with a gift you'll never forget.

00:20:17Bring it up.

00:20:23Bring it up.

00:20:24Isabella, what game are you playing now?

00:20:33Isabella, I'm warning you.

00:20:35Do not try to pull any shit.

00:20:37It's too late for you to turn things around now.

00:20:39Relax.

00:20:41It's just a little parting gift for my son.

00:20:44It's yours, Michael.

00:20:46You've been my son for over 20 years.

00:20:48And in my heart, you always will be.

00:20:51I only want what's best for you.

00:21:04This is the Aurelian Star.

00:21:06A rare heirloom that my mother gave to me before she passed.

00:21:12This must cost a fortune.

00:21:14Well, at least you finally realized your worth.

00:21:16I mean, an old hag like you could never wear a gem like this.

00:21:19Clearly, it is made for someone like me.

00:21:22What are you talking about, Mom?

00:21:24Only a true goddess like Vivian Hartley is worthy of a gem like this.

00:21:28I'm going to give it to her as a gift.

00:21:32Might even seal the deal on our family.

00:21:35Hell, if I play my cards right, she could even marry me.

00:21:39Just as I expected.

00:21:41They're walking straight into my trap.

00:21:44Hold on.

00:21:45Is this some kind of trick?

00:21:48I've appraised Jews for years.

00:21:50That's the real deal.

00:21:52The Aurelian Star.

00:21:53It's worth a fortune.

00:21:55This is outrageous.

00:21:57You hid something with this kind of value from us for all this time?

00:22:01Where's the honesty?

00:22:03Where is the trust?

00:22:04Yes, our relationship really is a joke.

00:22:08Divorcing you is the smartest thing I've ever done.

00:22:11You giving us this diamond, it's the smartest thing you've ever done.

00:22:14Because a broke bitch like you, diamond like that, you're just asking for trouble.

00:22:19Has Miss Vaughn lost her mind?

00:22:21Handing over a priceless family heirloom like it's nothing to those ungrateful leeches?

00:22:26Why would she do that?

00:22:38Is she clinging to some fantasy that her husband and the son that she raised for years will come back to her?

00:22:44But she's completely lost it.

00:22:47Poor woman.

00:22:48Between the betrayal of her husband and her son?

00:22:51It's shattered her.

00:22:52Isabella, if you're giving up this gem to win back Michael and Nathan,

00:22:58well, you're just, what's the word?

00:23:01Oh yeah, delusional.

00:23:02I mean, I thought when you were helping me back then, you were just naive.

00:23:08But now I am seeing you in a whole new light.

00:23:13You were never just naive, were you?

00:23:16No.

00:23:17You were a pathetic, bottom-feeding nobody.

00:23:29Good thing you're not my little mother.

00:23:31What a disgrace that would be.

00:23:34I'm done with the Vaughn name.

00:23:36I'm going to Weaselton.

00:23:38My father's name.

00:23:40The Vaughn group is no more.

00:23:42I'm going to take the Weaselton group to the next level.

00:23:45Marrying a stupid woman like you and getting tied up with your pathetic family

00:23:50really was the biggest mistake of my life.

00:23:54So why don't you do us all a favor?

00:23:57Disappear and never show your face again.

00:24:01So long, sucker.

00:24:05Goodbye.

00:24:08Ms. Vaughn, how does it feel to be abandoned by your hubby, your son, everyone you've ever trusted?

00:24:13Ms. Vaughn, your divorce is going viral on social media right now.

00:24:16Is this just a media stunt?

00:24:17Ms. Vaughn, you've dominated the business world for years.

00:24:20Would you really just give this all away like this?

00:24:22Or is this some kind of setup?

00:24:23Ms. Vaughn, you need to fight back.

00:24:25Allow me to represent you so we can sue them and hit it where it hurts.

00:24:28Thanks, but no need.

00:24:30Thanks, but no need.

00:25:00I did you a favor and packed all your crap for you.

00:25:03Oh, and those gowns you love so much, well, they were too big for me, so I just sold them

00:25:09for dirt cheap.

00:25:10Oh, but don't worry, we gave you some basics, you know, clothes that will actually match

00:25:14your new pathetic life.

00:25:15And if you think about calling back to my husband and my son, I'll make you regret you were ever

00:25:22born.

00:25:23I still can't believe I ever called you Mom.

00:25:29And here's your $100 pension, just like I promised, and I even broke it into singles

00:25:32for you.

00:25:33Figured you'd be too cheap to spend it otherwise.

00:25:36Well, what are you waiting for?

00:25:40Get down on all fours and collect your welfare, you pathetic loser.

00:25:46And hey, if you starve out there, don't say we didn't provide for you.

00:25:50Oh no, what if she goes and kills herself?

00:25:53Whoa, hold on, what if she actually drops dead and people say we pushed her over the

00:25:58edge.

00:25:59If word gets to Vivian, that could screw up the whole deal between our families.

00:26:03Isabel, what are you doing?

00:26:04I'm broke, with no money, no home.

00:26:10My own husband and his mistress threw me out like trash.

00:26:29But why are you still so scared of me?

00:26:36Good riddance.

00:26:42Honey, I have worked under Isabella for many years and she's not someone to go away without

00:26:53a fight.

00:26:54I know, but everything she owns is now in our hands.

00:26:58She has no way to fight back.

00:27:00Mom, relax.

00:27:02It's over for her.

00:27:05I know, but I'm so nervous in here.

00:27:07She can crush someone with like, literally silence.

00:27:10I mean, that's how she built the bond group, from the ground up.

00:27:12I think we should keep tabs on her because if she's planning something and we miss it,

00:27:16we are screwed.

00:27:17You're right.

00:27:18You're so smart.

00:27:19You better be safe than sorry.

00:27:22We'll keep a very close eye on her.

00:27:24Oh, Jesus, what is that smell?

00:27:39How can people live like this?

00:27:41It smells worse than a backed up sewer.

00:27:44See, darling?

00:27:45No need to worry.

00:27:46The once almighty Isabella Vaughn, queen of high society, is now reduced to living like

00:27:52a sewer rat.

00:27:53That's right.

00:27:54I was worried for a second there.

00:27:56Well, it's good to know that you're safe, darling.

00:27:58I mean, no ceiling to hang yourself from and no heights to jump off of.

00:28:02Just good old rock bottom.

00:28:05Wow.

00:28:06Salad dressing.

00:28:08Didn't realize the trash came with toppings.

00:28:10Guess that hundred bucks a month I've been throwing at you is way too generous.

00:28:15Next time I'll cut it down to fifty bucks.

00:28:18You have no idea how hard money is to come by these days.

00:28:22I agree, son.

00:28:23How sad.

00:28:24Isabella, you're not even worth fifty bucks anymore.

00:28:27Enough.

00:28:28Okay, a hundred bucks can't even get me a decent nightgown.

00:28:30Just throw some scraps.

00:28:31I don't want to be blasted online.

00:28:34Fine.

00:28:35I'll be generous.

00:28:36Huh.

00:28:37Huh.

00:28:38Consider that a little bonus for your pity pension.

00:28:42Maybe now you won't be guilt tripping us because in three days I'll be rubbing elbows

00:28:48with the queen of business herself, Vivian Hartley.

00:28:52Who knows?

00:28:53She might even marry me.

00:28:55And once that happens, the whole business world will be kissing my feet.

00:29:00And you?

00:29:01You'll be nothing but a washed up husband no one even remembers.

00:29:07Do you hear that, Isabella?

00:29:16My son is gonna be tied down with thee, Vivian Hartley.

00:29:20Oh, gosh.

00:29:21She is the rising queen of the business world.

00:29:24Her wealth, her power, they eclipse anything you've ever done.

00:29:30Is that so?

00:29:31What?

00:29:32You think we owe you something?

00:29:34That we would be nothing without you?

00:29:36Please.

00:29:37I hate to break it to you, darling, but Vivian Hartley, you're not even in the same league.

00:29:42She actually invited us personally to the big grand banquet next week.

00:29:47Thank God my son has good taste in women.

00:29:51Lord knows I didn't at his age.

00:29:53Once we team up with Vivian Hartley, Wesselton Group will skyrocket.

00:29:58And you, my dear ex-wife, will be left here to rot.

00:30:03You don't even deserve a front row seat.

00:30:05Wow.

00:30:06No, we got to you, didn't we?

00:30:09All right.

00:30:10That's enough.

00:30:11Let's go.

00:30:14Toodaloo!

00:30:23Miss Vaughn.

00:30:24It's time to leave for the banquet.

00:30:33At last.

00:30:34The show is just getting started.

00:30:36I followed your instructions and notified all the major media outlets.

00:30:46Now the banquet hall is packed with reporters from the best networks.

00:30:51Even the most famous anchors showed up.

00:30:54Perfect.

00:31:13Great.

00:31:14The stage is set.

00:31:15Now what about the players?

00:31:16Your daughter personally wrote the invitation to the Wieselton family.

00:31:22They must be over the moon right now, eager and scrambling to get ready for the banquet.

00:31:27And tonight will be a night they'll never forget.

00:31:31In front of everyone, I'll rip their fake masks off and take back everything they stole from me.

00:31:41Now let's go.

00:31:46You guys are not going to believe this.

00:31:51I got an invitation to Vivian Hartley's party.

00:31:55Oh my God.

00:31:56This is honestly the most glorious moment of my life.

00:32:01This place is packed with billionaires and celebrities.

00:32:04Literally.

00:32:06The richest people in the world are here.

00:32:08Yeah.

00:32:09You heard me.

00:32:10Vivian Hartley.

00:32:11The Vivian Hartley.

00:32:13The woman that practically owns this country.

00:32:15And today she is going to introduce the most important person in her life to the entire world.

00:32:45And it has to be our sweet, young, handsome boy.

00:32:46What if she's fallen for him?

00:32:47Oh my God, I'm so proud of you.

00:32:48Stop it.

00:32:49What if the person Vivian's talking about isn't me?

00:32:50Oh, come on.

00:32:51She personally handwritten an invitation just for you.

00:32:52We must have charmed her.

00:32:53Not you.

00:32:54Who else could it be?

00:32:55Who else could it be?

00:32:56Who else could it be?

00:32:57Huh?

00:32:58Hm.

00:32:59What if she's fallen for him?

00:33:01Oh, my God, I'm so proud of you.

00:33:02What if the person Vivian's talking about isn't me?

00:33:07Oh, come on.

00:33:07She personally handwritten an invitation just for you.

00:33:10He must have charmed her.

00:33:12Not you.

00:33:13Who else could it be?

00:33:29It's Isabella Vaughn.

00:33:32Is she not bankrupt?

00:33:34What is she doing here?

00:33:40Hi, loser.

00:33:41This place isn't for beggars.

00:33:44Get lost.

00:33:44You're making the place stink.

00:33:47Would you please stop following me around so shamelessly?

00:33:51I mean, look at you.

00:33:53Even if you got naked, stripped down to your skivvies and begged me,

00:33:57I still wouldn't take you back.

00:33:59Don't you have any self-respect?

00:34:01Who said I came here for you?

00:34:03Then for what?

00:34:04To pick up some leftovers like a stray dog?

00:34:09Get her out of here.

00:34:11She's just some shameless beggar hoping to scrounge up some scraps.

00:34:17I'm here as the most important guest of Vivian.

00:34:20I'm here as the most important guest of Vivian.

00:34:31You, the most important guest of Vivian.

00:34:34Are you out of your mind?

00:34:36Do you even know who these people are?

00:34:39They're the wealthiest, most powerful figures in the country.

00:34:44And you, you're a nobody.

00:34:47Just a washed-up housewife.

00:34:50Oh, wait.

00:34:51I forgot.

00:34:52Dad dumped you, too.

00:34:54So really, you're just a homeless stray with nothing.

00:34:59He's right.

00:35:00He's so right.

00:35:02Everyone here, we are on a level that you could never reach,

00:35:06no matter how hard or high you jumped.

00:35:09We are up here.

00:35:12You are down here where you belong.

00:35:16I mean, you're lucky we're even spending a moment talking to you.

00:35:19Oh, darling, don't say that.

00:35:21The girl's probably hungry.

00:35:22I mean, we're kind people.

00:35:25We can't sit around and watch someone starve.

00:35:27Yes, yes.

00:35:27Is there a doggy biscuit somewhere?

00:35:30Go on.

00:35:31You're probably starving.

00:35:33Oops.

00:35:34But if you want to eat, you need to eat like a dog.

00:35:37On your knees.

00:35:39Fits your broke-ass status perfectly.

00:35:44Stepped on your dinner.

00:35:46Oh, no.

00:35:46But hey, no worries.

00:35:49You can pick it up and scrape it off my shoe and eat it.

00:35:53Well done, my boy.

00:35:56Great show.

00:35:57Now move.

00:35:59You're in my way.

00:36:00Yeah, right.

00:36:01He won't get in.

00:36:02I bet, dollars to donuts, you don't even have an invitation.

00:36:06Of course she doesn't.

00:36:07Look at her.

00:36:07She's broke.

00:36:08No purse.

00:36:08Where would she get an invitation?

00:36:10I don't have an invitation.

00:36:13Because I don't need one.

00:36:15Vivian's butler will personally escort me in.

00:36:19Within one minute.

00:36:23Quickly.

00:36:24Miss Fawn is waiting.

00:36:25Enough.

00:36:28Shut up.

00:36:33Stop spewing that crap.

00:36:35How could you let her raise me?

00:36:37It's humiliating.

00:36:39Get out.

00:36:39You should be thankful I'm willing to inherit the company from a shameless nobody like you.

00:36:45I don't remember raising you to be so ungrateful.

00:36:48What happened to you?

00:36:49How dare you?

00:36:51He is my biological son.

00:36:52He carries my superior genes.

00:36:55He's fundamentally different than a creature like you.

00:36:59Huh.

00:37:01I suppose it really is a difference in genetics.

00:37:03Just stop it.

00:37:05I will not allow you to ruin our son's chances of being chosen by Vivian Hartley.

00:37:09Do you know how important this is?

00:37:12Once she marries him, or even if she just partners with us, power from around the world

00:37:18will line up, flood to us.

00:37:21They will get down on their knees and be begging us for the chance to work with them.

00:37:24That's right.

00:37:26And if you have at least that much of a conscience, you get the hell out and let my son seize

00:37:32this once-in-a-lifetime chance.

00:37:34I wasn't the one trying to get close to you.

00:37:37It's the three of you who shamelessly came to me.

00:37:39Hey, I'm just standing here waiting for Vivian's butler to pick me up.

00:37:43Oh my god!

00:37:45She's out of her damn mind!

00:37:48Her butler is coming to get you?

00:37:50Not even the president gets that kind of treatment.

00:37:53Somebody, get this dirty bitch out of here.

00:37:58Get your filthy hands off her.

00:38:00She is Miss Hartley's most honored guest.

00:38:11Show her some respect.

00:38:20Get your filthy hands off her.

00:38:23What just happened?

00:38:30Did he just say that she's Vivian's most honored guest?

00:38:34Baby?

00:38:35Baby, what's going on?

00:38:35How does she know Vivian Hartley and how is she the most honored guest?

00:38:38What are we going to do now?

00:38:40My apologies for keeping you so long.

00:38:42Please, come with me.

00:38:44It's all right.

00:38:45It was just a minute.

00:38:46Drop the act!

00:38:47Cut the shit!

00:38:48There is no way in hell that you are Vivian Hartley's honored guest.

00:39:01You bitch!

00:39:03I will get out of my way!

00:39:05You will not be allowed into the ballroom unless we have an invitation.

00:39:09And if you insult our guests again, you'll all be thrown out of here.

00:39:18You'll all be thrown out of here.

00:39:23Okay, what are we going to do?

00:39:25What if she comes after us?

00:39:27I told you she is not a woman to mess with.

00:39:29And if she's in connections with Miss Hartley, then she's going to make us pay.

00:39:32And then you need to say something or we're going to die!

00:39:34Get a pay whip, woman.

00:39:36No.

00:39:37No.

00:39:38There is no way she used Vivian Hartley.

00:39:41She gave everything she had to my son.

00:39:43That's right.

00:39:44I'm the CEO now.

00:39:46She's just a crazy old hag.

00:39:49Nothing more.

00:39:50What about Mrs. Hartley's butler?

00:39:54I've got it.

00:39:56She is hooking up with that decrepit old man.

00:40:00Yeah.

00:40:01Oh.

00:40:03I dropped her like a sack of potatoes and then she decided to screw some low-life sermon.

00:40:10It's just disgusting.

00:40:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:12That must be the truth.

00:40:14Okay, that's it.

00:40:15All right, so we just need to go in there fast and I'm going to expose this bitch to everyone.

00:40:20Ruin her reputation and get her kicked out!

00:40:22Let's go.

00:40:27Miss Vaughn, this is your first public appearance in bankruptcy.

00:40:30Is there anything you would like to say?

00:40:32Rumor is that you've transferred all of your assets to your ex-husband and his mistress' child

00:40:37and they kicked you out.

00:40:39Is this true?

00:40:39Yes, I almost gave up every once.

00:40:43Don't listen to a word she says.

00:40:44It's a bullshit.

00:40:45She's a fake liar.

00:40:47Don't listen to a word she says.

00:40:57It's a bullshit.

00:40:58She's a fake liar.

00:41:00What are you talking about?

00:41:01Oh, cut the act.

00:41:03I've already figured out your dirty little scene.

00:41:05This woman just divorced me and she's already in the arms of a security guard.

00:41:13Just to get in.

00:41:14Who knows how many men she's slept with over the years.

00:41:17I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she built her entire empire one bed at a time.

00:41:23It's no surprise at all.

00:41:26She's the type of woman who will crawl into anyone's bed for a dime.

00:41:29Cheating.

00:41:30Cheap.

00:41:31Broke.

00:41:31And she still showed her face today.

00:41:33She's stinking up the whole ballroom.

00:41:37What a scene.

00:41:39This family really doesn't know what shame is.

00:41:42Is it all true?

00:41:43I can't believe I used to admire her that much.

00:41:48Shameless?

00:41:48You think I'm the shameless one?

00:41:52All these years it was me who held this family together.

00:41:56Me who worked tirelessly to make ends meet.

00:41:59Me who gave everything to raise a child that wasn't even mine by blood.

00:42:03And what about you?

00:42:04Well, we...

00:42:05Oh!

00:42:06I remember what you two did.

00:42:08Every time I was out there breaking my back to keep everything afloat.

00:42:13You were living in my house.

00:42:15Spending my money.

00:42:16Writhing around like two animals in the heat.

00:42:19And now you call me shameless?

00:42:26And now you call me shameless?

00:42:29She raised the mistress's child?

00:42:31That's ridiculous.

00:42:32Why would she do that?

00:42:34Because that filthy couple lied to her.

00:42:36Made her raise their bastard as her own child.

00:42:40They weren't just screwing around.

00:42:42They stole her entire life and then dumped her in the street.

00:42:46Those two cheating scumbags are disgusting.

00:42:50Oh, come on!

00:42:51Who are all of you to judge us?

00:42:53Stop acting like we did something wrong.

00:42:55Let's be honest.

00:42:57Look at her.

00:42:57She's just a boring, ugly housewife.

00:43:01And a guy like me, I need a better woman.

00:43:04Yes.

00:43:05A better woman.

00:43:06Like me.

00:43:07Young.

00:43:08Beautiful.

00:43:09Someone who knows how to treat their man and make them happy.

00:43:12Unlike you.

00:43:12In fact, you should be thanking her.

00:43:16Because after all, she did what you never could as a wife.

00:43:19And as a mom.

00:43:21So why don't you do something decent for once and have the shame to stay away from our family?

00:43:25Every time I think the three of you couldn't possibly get more shameless, you still managed to surprise me.

00:43:33Shut up!

00:43:34I've never met a family more disgraceful than you three.

00:43:37This is insane.

00:43:40It's not what it looks like.

00:43:42I mean, we are truly, truly in love.

00:43:46Isn't that what it's all about?

00:43:47I mean, why are you taking her side?

00:43:49Cancel all contracts with Wieselton Enterprises.

00:43:51Immediately.

00:43:52No!

00:43:53No, no, no, no, no.

00:43:54Leave!

00:44:00What?

00:44:00No, no, no, no.

00:44:01Please!

00:44:01No, don't believe her.

00:44:03She is not the victim.

00:44:04She is twisting our words.

00:44:07She was a workaholic.

00:44:09Never home.

00:44:10Never cared for her child.

00:44:11She wrecked her health.

00:44:12And then when she finally got pregnant...

00:44:14It's okay.

00:44:15Let it out.

00:44:16The baby was a stillborn.

00:44:19What did you just say?

00:44:20It's okay.

00:44:22He doesn't blame you.

00:44:23Even though you were an irresponsible mother and wife.

00:44:27And in fact, we did everything we could to make sure that she didn't fall apart.

00:44:33And we gave her our own child.

00:44:37We let her pretend that she was his mother because it was noble.

00:44:41It was out of selflessness.

00:44:43We sacrificed 20 years.

00:44:46We let our own son call another woman mom to protect her fragile little heart.

00:44:55Being raised by you was the greatest disgrace of my life.

00:44:58I don't expect someone like you to understand the meaning of gratitude.

00:45:02But stop slandering my real parents.

00:45:05You dare use my daughter's name to paint yourselves as saints?

00:45:09My daughter was born healthy.

00:45:12Laughing.

00:45:13Kicking.

00:45:15Crying.

00:45:16Alive.

00:45:17You.

00:45:19Her own father.

00:45:21Killed her.

00:45:22I did not.

00:45:23You looked right into her eyes and still chose to leave her alone in the freezing rain for

00:45:27that woman's baby.

00:45:29You murdered my child.

00:45:30And then you handed me your bastard like a consolation.

00:45:33And now you want me to say thank you?

00:45:35No, no, she isn't lying.

00:45:43Our baby died because of you.

00:45:45Because you're careless and reckless and unstable.

00:45:48And now you want to blame us.

00:45:49Yeah, there's no proof.

00:45:51You continue to slander our name?

00:45:53I will call the police.

00:45:56Fine.

00:45:58You want proof?

00:46:00Thankfully, the hospital's security footage is still there.

00:46:05Oh, my God.

00:46:11That's her.

00:46:17Guys, did you see that?

00:46:19This is crazy.

00:46:21I am live streaming all of it.

00:46:23Nathan Weaselton killed his daughter and replaced her with his mistress's baby.

00:46:29For money.

00:46:31Not.

00:46:32Remember these three.

00:46:35By tomorrow, they'll be famous.

00:46:40Sell all shares in Whittleton Enterprises.

00:46:43I never want my name associated with trash like this.

00:46:46What do we do, Dad?

00:46:48Sir, the company's stock is crashing.

00:46:52Public outrage is exploding.

00:46:54The video's everywhere.

00:46:55What do we do?

00:46:55What the hell do we do?

00:46:57I know what you should do.

00:46:58You should return the company to Miss Vaughn right now.

00:47:01And then kneel down and beg for her forgiveness.

00:47:04Yeah.

00:47:05Heel down, heel down, heel down, heel down, heel down.

00:47:14Heel down, heel down, heel down.

00:47:17Now, fuck it.

00:47:18Okay?

00:47:18It doesn't matter.

00:47:19I didn't want to mingle with you lowlives anyways.

00:47:23Look close, motherfuckers.

00:47:25This is a personal invitation, handwritten by Vivian Hartley herself.

00:47:31She personally invited us.

00:47:34We are the ones that matter, not you pathetic losers.

00:47:39Yeah.

00:47:39And we don't need to work with nobodies like you.

00:47:42All right?

00:47:42Because we're going to rise to a whole new level.

00:47:45So what's it going to be?

00:47:46Are you going to offend Miss Hartley?

00:47:48Or are you going to shut your mouths like good little nobodies?

00:47:50Ha, that's more like it.

00:47:55Show us some respect.

00:47:57You really think you're Vivian's honored guests?

00:48:00Of course we are.

00:48:02And stop saying her name like you know her.

00:48:04You're not even worthy of it.

00:48:06I am, more than anyone here.

00:48:09Because the woman you're bragging about, Vivian Hartley, is my daughter.

00:48:14I'm sorry, what did you just say?

00:48:23I said, Vivian Hartley is my daughter.

00:48:28You mean, you mean the daughter who died 20 years ago?

00:48:31She, she wrote this little, this little invitation?

00:48:35Yes.

00:48:36And she sent it at my request.

00:48:38Without me, you wouldn't have even been allowed inside this ballroom.

00:48:41Um, my God, are you crazy because you lost your child or because I stole your husband and all your money?

00:48:49Come on, girl, get real.

00:48:50It's natural.

00:48:51Why would a man choose an old hag over a pretty thing like me?

00:48:55Listen, I do pity you.

00:48:58So we could, um, have you committed and pay all the medical bills, right, babe?

00:49:02Of course.

00:49:03Your daughter's dead.

00:49:04No one's coming to save you.

00:49:06You're just a lonely, abandoned, useless housewife.

00:49:10She's not dead.

00:49:13I saved her.

00:49:15She's brilliant, gifted.

00:49:18And with my help, she built the empire that she runs today.

00:49:22Okay, so first, you tell everyone here that I killed your daughter.

00:49:24Now, you're telling us that she's Vivian Hartley?

00:49:27I mean, you're in C.

00:49:28Shut up, you bitch!

00:49:33Meadow, Miss Hartley's car has arrived.

00:49:36She'll be here in one minute.

00:49:37Now let's see how low you'll sink, groveling at my daughter's feet.

00:49:49Drop the act.

00:49:50We've known all along you're in cahoots with this old geezer.

00:49:54Yeah, we know you hired an actress to play in your little drama and it doesn't scare us.

00:49:57If anything, we think you're more pathetic.

00:50:00You've got 50 seconds left to keep pretending.

00:50:05Oh no!

00:50:06Don't scare us with a talk!

00:50:09Please!

00:50:10A lowlife like you can never birth someone powerful.

00:50:13Only women like me can birth a genius.

00:50:16Look at Michael.

00:50:17So cute and handsome and charming.

00:50:19You?

00:50:20Well, you're just a broken factory.

00:50:22Mary, 30 seconds.

00:50:25Enough!

00:50:26Okay, stop pretending.

00:50:27Everyone knows that you have nothing.

00:50:30I know it, you know it, and everyone here knows it.

00:50:36Just stop embarrassing yourself.

00:50:3810 seconds.

00:50:39This is madness.

00:50:39Someone throw her out right now!

00:50:41Seriously, get her out of here before she pollutes Miss Hartley's eyes.

00:50:45Stop.

00:50:52Take your hands off, my mom.

00:51:11That's her!

00:51:12Vivian Hartley!

00:51:13This is her first public appearance.

00:51:15I can't believe it.

00:51:16I'm meeting the real Mr. Hartley.

00:51:20Vivian, you look fantastic.

00:51:21Sure, she raised me for a couple years, but she's not really my mom.

00:51:26You don't have to be so nice to her.

00:51:27Exactly.

00:51:28You probably think that she's Michael's mother, but she's not.

00:51:32She's...

00:51:32And you are?

00:51:34Oh, I am.

00:51:36From now on, do not allow people like this to enter my events.

00:51:41Today is a very important day.

00:51:43I've come here to publicly acknowledge the most important person in my life.

00:51:50My mom.

00:51:51My sweet girl.

00:51:58That can't be real.

00:52:05This is wild.

00:52:06The Weaseltons built their entire reputation on Miss Hartley's name,

00:52:10and she doesn't even know them.

00:52:12And Isabella Vaughn is her mother.

00:52:15If I were them, I'd dig a hole and disappear forever.

00:52:22This is the most humiliating thing I've ever seen.

00:52:28They've offended Vivian Hartley.

00:52:30They're going to be bankrupt and homeless by morning.

00:52:35Let's do that again.

00:52:35No, no, no, no, this is not possible.

00:52:39You said she died.

00:52:41This is impossible.

00:52:42The baby died 20 years ago.

00:52:43How could this be?

00:52:45For your mistress and your bastard baby, you tried to kill your wife's, my child, by your own hands.

00:52:51Now the baby you abandoned in the rain has become someone you can't even reach.

00:52:57Do you regret it now?

00:53:05Darling, my daughter, the lovely young woman you have become, will always be my little girl.

00:53:14You'll forgive me, right?

00:53:15So you remember that I'm your daughter?

00:53:23Of course.

00:53:24Where was that memory the day you left me to die?

00:53:30Sweetheart, baby, the love of my life used to be so happy.

00:53:36Remember?

00:53:37I made a mistake, a small mistake.

00:53:40I'll fix it, I swear.

00:53:41What if I gave the company back to you?

00:53:47What?

00:53:47Get him off of me.

00:53:50I think reasonable.

00:53:51We can talk about this.

00:53:53The second you tried to kill my child, any chance of forgiveness was gone.

00:54:02Take it when you're bankrupt and living on the street.

00:54:06That is mine!

00:54:06Give it to me!

00:54:07Get them out!

00:54:08No, no, no.

00:54:08How could this happen?

00:54:10How is Isabella Miss Hartley's mother?

00:54:13What am I going to do?

00:54:15Wait a second.

00:54:16Are you sure that slip of a girl really is Miss Hartley?

00:54:25Are you sure that slip of a girl really is Miss Hartley?

00:54:30What?

00:54:30What do you mean?

00:54:32Technically, no one's ever really seen Miss Hartley's full face, right?

00:54:37What are you saying?

00:54:38I'm saying, what if she's not the real Hartley?

00:54:42No one's seen the real one.

00:54:43What if that old hag hired a paid actress again?

00:54:46She definitely, she definitely hires someone to pay the full!

00:54:48That's right!

00:54:49I knew it!

00:54:50We were tricked!

00:54:51All of us!

00:54:52And humiliated in front of the world!

00:54:54Hey, hey, hey.

00:54:55Don't blame yourself, sweetheart.

00:54:56All right?

00:54:57The only one to blame is that shameless bitch!

00:55:00What are you doing?

00:55:17I arranged a little dinner for you tonight with someone very special.

00:55:22He wanted me to give you this.

00:55:24Who?

00:55:32Dad.

00:55:33You know, my adoptive father.

00:55:39I don't know if I'm ready for anything romantic.

00:55:41But Mom, he's rich, capable.

00:55:44He runs the entire Whitmore Group and owns multiple airlines.

00:55:48At least if you go on vacation with him, you'll fly private instead of squeezing into economy

00:55:53with that loser ex-husband.

00:55:55I just...

00:55:55Mom, he's waited for you all these years.

00:55:59He never married, you know.

00:56:01And you deserve to be loved, Mom.

00:56:03All right.

00:56:08All right.

00:56:09But I'm not dressing up.

00:56:11Last thing I need is another man after my money.

00:56:17What are you doing here?

00:56:19This is a Michelin-starred restaurant.

00:56:21Places like this aren't made for people like you.

00:56:24Where's your daughter?

00:56:26What, the actress couldn't stick around?

00:56:28Excuse me?

00:56:29We're not dumb.

00:56:31We know that girl wasn't really Vivian Hartley.

00:56:34You paid her to pretend.

00:56:36You blew all your money on that stunt, and now you can't even afford a proper optic.

00:56:41Wow.

00:56:42The fact that people like you exist is genuinely tragic.

00:56:45Think whatever you want.

00:56:47I can't believe I once married someone as pathetic and stupid as you.

00:56:51Hey!

00:56:54Uh, excuse me.

00:56:55This woman is not up to the dress code.

00:56:57This is an expensive, exclusive place.

00:57:00You're going to let a woman dressed like this go into your restaurant?

00:57:10This place used to be good.

00:57:11You can't even afford an Hermes.

00:57:14Honestly, if this is your clientele, then we won't be coming back.

00:57:18Because this place obviously has no class.

00:57:20Uh, most of our guests do have designer bags.

00:57:25Jewelry worth six figures.

00:57:27I'm afraid that your, your dress...

00:57:29This dress...

00:57:30Is a private, custom-made piece by Enzo Moretti.

00:57:36Oh!

00:57:37You mean THE Enzo Moretti?

00:57:40The Italian couture?

00:57:42The one that the British royal family wears.

00:57:44Some of his custom gowns cost over a hundred grand.

00:57:48There's no way you can afford that.

00:57:50Every piece he makes is one of a kind.

00:57:53If you had any taste at all, you would have recognized it immediately.

00:57:56But...

00:57:57I suppose that's asking too much from people like you.

00:58:02Please, don't make me laugh.

00:58:04Everything you're wearing wouldn't even fetch a hundred dollars.

00:58:07I have tissues more expensive.

00:58:09Oh!

00:58:10And this?

00:58:11You see this?

00:58:12This is an anniversary gift Nathan got me.

00:58:15Yeah, your ex-husband gave me this.

00:58:18And you?

00:58:19What?

00:58:19He gave you dead flowers from the trash.

00:58:21That's the kind of gifts he'd give you as his wife.

00:58:27Only a beautiful, adored woman like Ava deserves a necklace like that.

00:58:34That's why she belongs here, draped in diamonds.

00:58:38And you?

00:58:39You're just a pathetic divorcee.

00:58:41Why don't you go out to the alley and eat your dinner out of the trash where you belong?

00:58:44Yeah.

00:58:46Everything you have came from me.

00:58:49The fact that you're standing here bragging like some self-made man is honestly hilarious.

00:58:54And that jewelry is not even worth one-tenth the value of this dress, let alone my entire collection.

00:59:00So, really, Ava, you're just embarrassing yourself.

00:59:03Cuddy, little bitch.

00:59:05Enough!

00:59:05Get her out of here!

00:59:07Yeah.

00:59:08If you don't believe me, check Enzo Moretti's official site.

00:59:11Fine, I will.

00:59:12It's identical.

00:59:21Oh, please.

00:59:21It's a simple design.

00:59:23It's probably just a knockoff.

00:59:25Yeah, exactly.

00:59:26She probably bought it secondhand or in the clearance section.

00:59:30Every Enzo Moretti piece has a signature embroidered.

00:59:36It's real?

00:59:37It's real.

00:59:42Relax.

00:59:44It's just a dress.

00:59:45Who knows, maybe she sold everything just to rent it for a night.

00:59:50Or, like I said, it's a knockoff.

00:59:53Exactly.

00:59:54Even if it was real, it's definitely not more expensive than this.

00:59:57Of course it is.

00:59:59This piece was handmade by Enzo Moretti himself.

01:00:03There's only one in the world.

01:00:04Even if you sold your entire jewelry collection, you still wouldn't be able to afford it.

01:00:08Oh my god, just stop bragging about this.

01:00:10Stop!

01:00:10I really don't have time to listen to people like you.

01:00:17What now?

01:00:19Bring over the entire collection.

01:00:21Yeah.

01:00:22Are you buying any of this?

01:00:24What a performance!

01:00:25Let me guess.

01:00:27Another actor?

01:00:27Need a few bucks for props?

01:00:30Want us to toss you some spare change along with your hundred dollar alimony?

01:00:34Don't you know that this place employs trained professionals?

01:00:39They see you in that fake garbage.

01:00:41They'll toss you out faster than yesterday's leftovers.

01:00:44Stop humiliating yourself.

01:00:46And take it off before I do.

01:00:48You'll spend the rest of your life trying to pay it off.

01:00:57Then let's see who can actually afford it.

01:00:59Tear it off!

01:01:00Let's see if you have the guts to walk in there in your underwear!

01:01:02Yeah!

01:01:03Ha ha ha ha!

01:01:05Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

01:01:48Madam?

01:01:56Miss Vaughn has already reserved the VIP room.

01:01:59Kindly show some respect.

01:02:01Miss Vaughn, my sincere apologies.

01:02:05Welcome back.

01:02:07Your private suite awaits.

01:02:10When was she here?

01:02:12Private, no, she's...

01:02:14I swear.

01:02:17We're going in two.

01:02:19VIP guests only.

01:02:21Excuse...

01:02:22Looks like I'm not the one who doesn't belong here.

01:02:30How did you ever marry that woman?

01:02:32She has money.

01:02:34Well, not anymore.

01:02:35To new beginnings, to your newborn freedom, and to leaving that terrible man behind.

01:02:50Thank you, Alaric.

01:02:52It really feels like a fresh start for the first time in a long while.

01:02:55I've always wondered.

01:03:02You're such a powerful man.

01:03:04You have so many women interested in you, so many advantages.

01:03:09Why did you wait so long for me?

01:03:12Was it for business?

01:03:14A strategic alliance through marriage?

01:03:16No, Isabella.

01:03:17It was none of those things.

01:03:20I've waited for you because I know the kind of woman you are.

01:03:25You're a good wife.

01:03:26You're a devoted mother.

01:03:28I've seen what you've given up for your family.

01:03:31And yet, the man you married never saw your worth.

01:03:37He was blind to everything.

01:03:40If he wasn't, he wouldn't have let you go.

01:03:42It was hard, giving so much and getting so little in return.

01:03:49Hearing you say this, Alaric, it means more than I expected.

01:03:53Isabella, you deserve better.

01:03:55I hope you let yourself be happy.

01:03:58I hope you let me be the one that sees you, that truly sees you.

01:04:09I like that, Alaric.

01:04:10I like that very much.

01:04:13Who knows, maybe this could be the beginning of something good.

01:04:19Shall we cheers to that?

01:04:20Yep.

01:04:20Oh my god, again?

01:04:36Jesus, everywhere she goes.

01:04:37Sorry, ma'am.

01:04:39This card cannot be used here.

01:04:41Why not?

01:04:42Because our restaurant...

01:04:43Because this restaurant caters to a very exclusive clientele.

01:04:47If you don't have the right card, even a little bit of money won't help.

01:04:51Yeah.

01:04:52So even if you did sneak in, you still don't belong here.

01:04:55How incredibly not awkward.

01:04:58Tell you what, though.

01:04:58If you can't pay your bill, you can always jump in the back and do dishes.

01:05:03She'll be scrubbing plates for a lifetime.

01:05:05Let's face it, she's worthless.

01:05:07Just a discarded housewife with no husband, no money.

01:05:11Oh, if you had a shred of dignity, you wouldn't show your face here.

01:05:17Here.

01:05:19Try this one.

01:05:19Okay.

01:05:20Okay.

01:05:21Okay.

01:05:22Okay.

01:05:23Okay.

01:05:24Okay.

01:05:25Okay.

01:05:26Okay.

01:05:27Okay.

01:05:28Okay.

01:05:32Oh.

01:05:33This is one of the highest-level cards by some of the top banks.

01:05:37Only 10 people of the whole country have one.

01:05:40Each person who has one has absolute power.

01:05:42Can it be used here?

01:05:43Absolutely.

01:05:44In fact, as the owner of this card, you are our most honored guest tonight.

01:05:49Where the hell did you get this?

01:05:51It's mine, of course.

01:05:54Impossible!

01:05:55You gave all of your assets to our son.

01:05:57and you couldn't afford something like this.

01:05:59Oh, I get it.

01:06:01She stole it.

01:06:02Probably from us.

01:06:05Every time I think the three of you can't possibly get more shameless,

01:06:09you still manage to surprise me.

01:06:11We are just taking back what is ours.

01:06:13It's... that's fair.

01:06:15Well, then, by all means, read what's engraved on it.

01:06:23Now do you want to give it back, or should I call security again?

01:06:27This card is custom-made for each of the bank's most prestigious clients.

01:06:36Each one has the owner's name engraved on it, so yes, this card is mine.

01:06:42How does she have this card? I thought she gave all of her assets to our son.

01:06:46Ah, I see.

01:06:47You've been hiding money from me all along.

01:06:50Where's the love?

01:06:52Where is the trust?

01:06:53I guess it turns out you really are just a lying, selfish bitch.

01:06:58Exactly.

01:06:59You gave your assets to our son, which means technically this card is ours too.

01:07:06Go on, keep going.

01:07:07I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful husband,

01:07:11and an amazing son, and this beautiful card.

01:07:13I...

01:07:14You are too generous, really.

01:07:16No, really.

01:07:18Don't worry.

01:07:18If you don't want to enjoy your luxury, I'll enjoy it for you.

01:07:22Trash like...

01:07:23them?

01:07:24You might be able to steal by playing the mistress, but...

01:07:27Some things you're just not meant to enjoy.

01:07:29What is that supposed to mean?

01:07:30That card carries my identity, so only I can use it.

01:07:34But hey, feel free to try it.

01:07:36Just know you'll be arrested for fraud.

01:07:37You don't think I won't?

01:07:47That's destruction of property.

01:07:48You'll be paying for that.

01:07:49No, that's mine.

01:07:50If I said it's mine, right?

01:07:52Yeah, so I'm not paying for anything.

01:07:54Dream on.

01:07:55What are you going to do now, dumbass?

01:07:57Can't even pay your bill.

01:07:59Since you raised me, I'll make you an offer.

01:08:02Figure it on your knees and beg.

01:08:05Maybe I'll pay for lunch.

01:08:06Mom, do you accept digital payments?

01:08:15Oops.

01:08:16That's ours, too.

01:08:17Remember, you signed the contract.

01:08:19Why don't you just call up your man to come pay for you?

01:08:22Oh, yeah, that's right.

01:08:23Your husband dumped you.

01:08:24You are just a bro, washed up, old hag that nobody wants.

01:08:30That's enough.

01:08:36Are you okay?

01:08:44Yeah.

01:08:45I'll cover the bill.

01:08:46I got this.

01:08:47Do you see this?

01:08:53Who the hell are you?

01:08:54Mr. Whitmore.

01:08:56I'll get the manager right away.

01:08:57Alaric Whitmore, as in the CEO of Whitmore Group?

01:09:03Pleasure to meet you, sir.

01:09:04I have to ask, what's a gentleman like you, someone of such high regard doing with someone

01:09:12like her?

01:09:12I can tell you from experience, don't waste your time.

01:09:14She's just a washed up housewife.

01:09:18That's where you're blind.

01:09:19And frankly, pathetic.

01:09:21Isabella is gentle and kind.

01:09:23She's done everything to her family.

01:09:25And she's protected her child.

01:09:28She's an absolute treasure to any man.

01:09:32A true man with taste, dignity, and integrity would never be chasing after trash like her.

01:09:40A homewrecker?

01:09:41No morals?

01:09:44You're no woman.

01:09:45You're a disgrace.

01:09:47How dare you?

01:09:47Don't.

01:09:48We cannot afford to offend him.

01:09:50Apologies.

01:09:51And I intend to cherish her properly.

01:10:13Don't you guys have the bill to settle, too?

01:10:15Fine.

01:10:17It's just lunch.

01:10:18Run that.

01:10:19Sorry, sir.

01:10:23This card's been denied.

01:10:25It's frozen.

01:10:26Ew.

01:10:27That's impossible.

01:10:28There's tons of money on that account.

01:10:30Run it again.

01:10:33Try this one.

01:10:34Oh, this is embarrassing.

01:10:35I don't like this.

01:10:37Just try them all.

01:10:38No.

01:10:39Give us the...

01:10:40I don't know.

01:10:41No, not this one.

01:10:44Oh, my God.

01:10:44This card's been declined, too.

01:10:46Oh, my God.

01:10:47And this one.

01:10:50What the fuck is going on?

01:10:51Oh, my God.

01:10:53Our company assets are frozen.

01:10:55Oh, shit.

01:10:56There is major, major public backlash.

01:10:59They're protesting.

01:11:01They're protesting what we do.

01:11:03Dad, what's happening?

01:11:11I don't know.

01:11:12You don't know?

01:11:13I don't know.

01:11:14I guess they figured out that I cheated on Isabella, and then we tricked her into raising

01:11:18Michael, and now they're pissed.

01:11:19The public is pissed, and so our stock prices are crumbling.

01:11:22Oh, God.

01:11:23Now our fucking accounts are frozen.

01:11:24I can't breathe, you guys.

01:11:25I can't breathe.

01:11:27I can't.

01:11:28The bars went all dry.

01:11:29God damn it.

01:11:30We don't even open this.

01:11:31It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

01:11:33It's fine.

01:11:34It's fine.

01:11:34To be very clear, as CEO of the Whitmore Group, I blacklisted you.

01:11:39Now, anyone looking to partner with you would be my enemy.

01:11:45Shall we go?

01:11:47Of course.

01:11:49I'm going to be here.

01:11:51Listen, Whitmore.

01:11:52It's fine.

01:11:53It's fine.

01:11:54It's fine.

01:11:55It's fine.

01:11:56Okay.

01:11:57Because in a few days, the Hartley Group is having their public bidding.

01:12:01As long as we impress the real Vivian Hartley, we're good.

01:12:06We're back in the game, baby!

01:12:08Yes!

01:12:09Give me my cards back.

01:12:10Send us the bill.

01:12:10Let's go.

01:12:11Sure.

01:12:11Oh.

01:12:11Mom, you look stunning today.

01:12:24You always say the sweetest thing.

01:12:26I mean it.

01:12:27You look so much better now than when you were married to that jerk stuck at home playing housewife.

01:12:32You're right.

01:12:33I never should have married your father.

01:12:35But then, I wouldn't have had a daughter as wonderful as you are.

01:12:43I don't recognize him as my dad.

01:12:45Think of how we treated you.

01:12:48But it's okay.

01:12:49You're back.

01:12:51You're ready to be CEO of Hartley Group.

01:12:54Come on, Mom.

01:12:55The bidding is about to start.

01:12:56You get to decide the lucky one to win the billion dollar contract.

01:13:00Let's go.

01:13:01Okay.

01:13:05Let us drink to sweet, sweet victory.

01:13:12That Hartley contract will be ours.

01:13:15That'll launch us to the top.

01:13:17To a bright future.

01:13:21Look at them.

01:13:22Rich.

01:13:23Powerful.

01:13:25Soon we'll be one of them.

01:13:27I can't wait until Isabella regrets everything.

01:13:29Once she finds out that we made that billion dollar deal, she'll cry with envy.

01:13:33And so, thanks to you, my son, even Vivian Hartley couldn't resist that old Wesselton charm.

01:13:40She wrote the invitation herself.

01:13:43And you.

01:13:43Thank you, darling, for giving me such an amazing son.

01:13:48Unlike that useless woman, all she was good for was cooking, washing, and giving us money to spend.

01:13:55Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ms. Vivian Hartley and her mother.

01:14:13That seat must be Hartley's mother's.

01:14:16Look at the grandeur.

01:14:17Don't be jealous.

01:14:18Tomorrow, when Vivian chooses us, that seat will be yours.

01:14:33What in God's name?

01:14:36Why is she with her?

01:14:37You didn't...

01:14:39No.

01:14:41No, no, no, no, no.

01:14:42This can't be happening.

01:14:42She's actually...

01:14:44She's actually Vivian's mother.

01:14:47Oh, God.

01:14:48It's over.

01:14:49It's over.

01:14:50It's over.

01:14:50The Hartley group is never going to let us off.

01:14:52We're going to go bankrupt.

01:14:53No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:14:54I don't want to go bankrupt.

01:14:55I'm still so young.

01:14:58I don't want to go to jail.

01:15:00What do I do?

01:15:01What do I do?

01:15:06Please.

01:15:08I said it before, and I'll say it again.

01:15:10I was wrong.

01:15:11I regret everything.

01:15:14Please forgive me, and let's get back together.

01:15:23It's too late.

01:15:26I gave you many chances.

01:15:29You never appreciated them.

01:15:34You're not my son, but I raised you for 20 years.

01:15:39And what did you do?

01:15:39Betray me the moment I gave you my fortune.

01:15:44I'm sorry, Mom.

01:15:46I was wrong.

01:15:48You've worked so hard to raise me all these years,

01:15:51pouring your heart and soul into it.

01:15:55I saw it all, but I didn't appreciate it.

01:15:58I truly made a mistake.

01:16:01Please forgive me.

01:16:03I trusted you.

01:16:05I trusted you.

01:16:06Promoted you.

01:16:07Treated you as my apprentice.

01:16:10And how did you repay me?

01:16:12By having an affair with my husband and destroying my family.

01:16:15I'm so sorry.

01:16:17Please.

01:16:18Please forgive me, Mrs. Vaughn.

01:16:25And you.

01:16:28I took care of you and this family for over 20 years.

01:16:32I washed your clothes, cooked for you, raised our children.

01:16:35And you?

01:16:37You cheated?

01:16:38Tried to kill our biological daughter?

01:16:40And stole my property?

01:16:41You brought this all on yourself.

01:16:47Nobody move!

01:16:48Nobody fucking move!

01:16:51Wait.

01:16:52Isabella, come here.

01:16:58What are you doing just standing there?

01:16:59Get over here!

01:17:00Dad, stop.

01:17:02You've crossed the line.

01:17:04We have no choice.

01:17:05Isabella here backed us into a corner.

01:17:08If we don't do this, we're done.

01:17:10Once we have their money, we can go abroad.

01:17:14They'll never be able to touch us.

01:17:16Nathan, let Vivian go.

01:17:19I promise I'll give you a way out.

01:17:21But if you hurt her, I swear to God I'll make you pay with your life.

01:17:26I think I would trust you.

01:17:30I'm holding all the cards now.

01:17:33I can do whatever the fuck I want.

01:17:36And I say, get down on your knees and make sure this little bastard gives me all her money.

01:17:42Mom, don't do that.

01:17:44I won't give a penny to that.

01:17:46Everything goes to my mom.

01:17:48Really?

01:17:49Nathan.

01:17:50Dad, don't.

01:17:51Just let her go.

01:17:53I'm scared.

01:17:54Nathan, let her go.

01:17:56Okay, she...

01:17:57Isabella, we'll keep her word, okay?

01:18:00Right?

01:18:02I have my jewelry.

01:18:03I have my jewelry.

01:18:04We can sell my jewelry.

01:18:05And the three of us, we can live on that.

01:18:07Right?

01:18:09Who gives a fuck about your lousy money?

01:18:12If I went for you, you gold-digging bitch, we wouldn't even be in this mess.

01:18:17You think because you have some good looks and you can replace Isabella and you belong in my bed?

01:18:22No.

01:18:22Michael, if you're still my son, if you're a man at all, you will do as I say and we can escape.

01:18:33She raised me.

01:18:35Don't forget, you betrayed her too.

01:18:38She'll never forgive you.

01:18:40Do what the fuck I say, grab a knife and hold her.

01:18:42Don't come any closer.

01:18:51Isabella, if you take one more step, I'll smash her face.

01:18:56Fine.

01:18:57I won't move.

01:19:00Everyone knows that I always keep my word.

01:19:02If I say I'll let you go, I mean it.

01:19:04I won't make your life difficult.

01:19:06But even if you get the money, there's no escape.

01:19:10You'll just dig your own grave.

01:19:14Enough with your empty threats.

01:19:17Give us the fucking money or I'll slash her face and then I'll slit her fucking throat.

01:19:24Fine.

01:19:29Fine.

01:19:31I'll do it.

01:19:31Mom, don't.

01:19:32Vivian, trust me.

01:19:34I'll give the money.

01:19:35If you had done that earlier, none of this would have happened.

01:19:39I'll give you the money.

01:19:42Nathan, you already tried to murder our daughter once and now you want to do it again?

01:19:46No.

01:19:48I'll have my son do it.

01:19:49Hold her.

01:19:50I'm going to transfer the money.

01:19:53You stupid bitch.

01:19:55You thought you could beat me?

01:19:57I am destined for greatness.

01:20:00Now transfer the fucking money or your precious daughter will pay the ultimate price.

01:20:08How are you?

01:20:19Son, we're rich.

01:20:21We'll never have to worry about money again.

01:20:23And you, you stupid fucking cunt.

01:20:28You will spend the rest of your miserable life penniless and alone.

01:20:35But, but dad, she's, she's still my mom.

01:20:39Vivian, now!

01:20:49Die!

01:20:53You'll spend the rest of your life behind bars now.

01:20:59Go.

01:21:00From this moment on, I no longer have a son.

01:21:10Vivian!

01:21:11Mom, wait!

01:21:12Wait!

01:21:19Shall we?

01:21:26Our flight to the Maldives is about to board.
