00:00:00Apex Solutions CEO, Avery Johnson, is suspected of foul play in the murder investigation of Alan Hogan.
00:00:07Alan! Help! Help! Somebody help me! Help! Help! Help! Avery! Why did you kill Alan?
00:00:36I don't understand. Avery, you're going away for life. Who is she? Who else? I'm his real fiancé.
00:00:59Oh, and I killed Alan myself.
00:01:06Mr. Barnett, it's her. We found Ms. Porter.
00:01:13Where is she?
00:01:15County Jail. She's in critical condition.
00:01:21Let's go.
00:01:28What is my brother up to? I have never seen him in such a hurry.
00:01:43What is my brother up to? I have never seen him in such a hurry.
00:01:58I killed Alan myself.
00:02:01He had some help, specifically from your adopted mother.
00:02:05Melissa?
00:02:06The one and only. She lured Alan into a private meeting using your name.
00:02:11I trusted you. I felt our life, my company, and everything with you. Was it all just a lie?
00:02:20You thought I actually loved you? It was all just business. And now that Apex Solutions has gone public with me as their chairman, you're worthless to me.
00:02:29But this gorgeous lady is Rebecca. Rebecca Porter. A worthy bride to be.
00:02:36Oh, thanks babe. Oh, I almost forgot.
00:02:45Kill her and you will get paid.
00:02:48You damn bitch, get her.
00:03:15You will all pay for this.
00:03:16Do it.
00:03:17Yes, Mr. Barnett.
00:03:19You are Captain Barnett of Barnett Corp.
00:03:25Mr. Barnett, please.
00:03:27No!
00:03:29Oh, wait.
00:03:31Please. I didn't know Mr. Barnett. They forced us.
00:03:35Please, wait. I beg you.
00:03:36No!
00:03:47They said your name was Calvin Barnett.
00:03:51That's right.
00:03:53Why did you save me?
00:03:54Because I've been looking for you for the past 15 years.
00:03:58And I've loved you for all those years too.
00:04:00Why were you looking for me?
00:04:03Because you are the long lost daughter of the Porter family.
00:04:06My family.
00:04:21Welcome home.
00:04:22Let's go home.
00:04:23Let's go home.
00:04:32Welcome to the Barnett State, Ms. Johnson.
00:04:34I thought I would never see my baby again.
00:04:47Mom?
00:04:48You were a child.
00:04:49Back when you were a child, your family was going through a lot of business troubles.
00:05:01Your uncle kidnapped you and tried to use your leverage for a deal.
00:05:06It was double-crossed and we never saw you again.
00:05:10I don't remember any of this.
00:05:12It must have been so traumatic for you.
00:05:15Your body must have blocked out the memories to protect you.
00:05:19Am I really a Porter?
00:05:21Yes.
00:05:23This is your DNA test.
00:05:25It matches the hospital records from the Porters.
00:05:31Mom?
00:05:35Dad?
00:05:41Mr. Porter?
00:05:43Avery's fiancee, Wayne, with the help of Rebecca, conspired against her and framed her for the murder of Alan Hogan.
00:05:49Are you serious?
00:05:53That conniving bitch!
00:05:55Is she really my sister?
00:05:57No.
00:05:58She was adopted years after you disappeared.
00:06:01After this, I am kicking her out of the fountain.
00:06:04I will help you handle this, Mr. Porter.
00:06:06No.
00:06:08I want to take matters into my own hands.
00:06:11I personally want to give them what they deserve.
00:06:14I will have my revenge.
00:06:19I will have my revenge.
00:06:22Then consider it done.
00:06:24You will have all my resources at your disposal then.
00:06:28Excellent.
00:06:31Mr. Porter.
00:06:32I'm sorry for the interruption.
00:06:34Mr. Porter.
00:06:35I'm sorry for the interruption.
00:06:39Mr. Porter.
00:06:40Mr. Porter.
00:06:41I'm sorry for the interruption.
00:06:42Mr. Porter.
00:06:43I'm sorry for the interruption.
00:06:44Mr. Porter.
00:06:45Mr. Porter.
00:06:46I started a new company under your name, Bayonet
00:06:50and with a billion dollar investment from me, You can go after Wayne and Rebecca.
00:07:00So ready.
00:07:03I started a new company under your name, Bionet.
00:07:07And with a billion dollar investment from me, you can go after Wayne and Rebecca.
00:07:13A billion dollar investment?
00:07:15I mean, Apex Solutions is only worth a tenth of this.
00:07:19I can't have you do this for me.
00:07:20Yes, but if you don't take this, you're letting Wayne win.
00:07:23Fine, but only in the name of revenge.
00:07:31As soon as I get everything back, I'll pay you back.
00:07:34I expect nothing less.
00:07:37We will have a gathering in three days, and I'll announce the establishment about it.
00:07:50Aiden, find out everything you can about Avery in the last 15 years.
00:07:53Yes, sir.
00:07:58What is it?
00:07:59Sir, don't you think you should just let her know how you feel?
00:08:02You've waited 15 years for this.
00:08:09Sir, don't you think you should just let her know how you feel?
00:08:12You've waited 15 years for this.
00:08:20It's not the right time.
00:08:23This time, I won't lose her again.
00:08:31Isn't that the dress that sold for half a million at the kitty auction last week?
00:08:49It is.
00:08:49How can anyone afford that?
00:08:51She's the part of daughter.
00:08:52That's how.
00:08:53You look amazing.
00:08:55Thanks for telling me something I already know.
00:08:57Have you heard?
00:08:59Calvin from Barnett Corp spent $1 billion on Bionet, and he's not even the head of it.
00:09:04Well then, who is?
00:09:05No one knows.
00:09:06Only that it's a woman.
00:09:08Who cares?
00:09:09If Bionet is backed by Barnett Corp, all we have to do is get on their good side, and we'll be in business with Barnett Corp.
00:09:15I'll have you know that the Porter family is just as strong as the Barnett family.
00:09:19Rebecca, your family is so close with the Barnetts.
00:09:22You definitely will have no problem swaying Calvin when it comes to business investments.
00:09:26Hmm.
00:09:28Wow.
00:09:30She's stunning.
00:09:31Whoa.
00:09:31Where is Calvin?
00:09:46Fucking bitch!
00:09:47I thought you got rid of her.
00:09:48What is she doing here?
00:09:49You need to get in contact with Melissa right now.
00:09:52I thought Miss Porter's dress was amazing, but nothing compared to this.
00:09:56Who is she?
00:09:56Do you think this who Mr. Barnett appointed as new CEO of Bionet?
00:10:00Excuse me?
00:10:03Aren't you the convicted killer, Avery Johnson?
00:10:09Aren't you the convicted killer, Avery Johnson?
00:10:14That's where I know you're from.
00:10:16You're Wayne's ex, convicted killer of Alan from Apex Solutions.
00:10:20What a despicable person.
00:10:22How do they allow someone like that in you?
00:10:25Rebecca Porter!
00:10:27Who knew you'd have the nerve to be here?
00:10:30Avery, how dare you?
00:10:35Avery, shouldn't you be in custody?
00:10:38Everyone, listen up.
00:10:40Wayne Elliott and Rebecca Porter are responsible for the murder of Alan Hogan of Apex Solutions.
00:10:45But they framed it on me.
00:10:48They are the true murderers.
00:10:50Avery, no one's going to believe a single word you said.
00:10:53And when all the fingerprints on the knife belong to you.
00:10:57I found the knife next to Alan's body.
00:11:00Then how do you explain you holding the knife when the police showed up?
00:11:03It was dark.
00:11:07I didn't know what I was grabbing onto.
00:11:10And according to the time of Alan's death, I was in a meeting with my staff.
00:11:15I have a solid alibi.
00:11:17Ladies and gentlemen, could I really be here now speaking to you if I was guilty?
00:11:26Security!
00:11:27Get this crazy woman out of here!
00:11:30Alright, if you're really going to make me leave, you may as well end this banquet now.
00:11:37Alright, if you're really going to make me leave, you may as well end this banquet now.
00:11:41Like you have any authority.
00:11:43You're a nobody.
00:11:45My authority is that I am the CEO of Bayonet.
00:11:49What?
00:11:50Mr. Barnet did upon a female CEO?
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:54Oh no, what do we do?
00:11:56Oh, please forgive us!
00:11:58Rebecca, is this true?
00:12:00If she's the CEO, then I'm Calvin Barnet.
00:12:04I have known Avery Johnson almost my entire life and she's nothing but a little redneck from a small town.
00:12:10We all know that Calvin Barnet would only appoint someone of high status to be CEO in his company.
00:12:16You were abandoned by your parents, grew up an orphan, and you only graduated with a high school degree.
00:12:22That doesn't sound like someone with high status to me.
00:12:25She really is crazy.
00:12:27Is that the only ability you have?
00:12:29To mock the less fortunate?
00:12:31You're all a bunch of swines.
00:12:32Swine?
00:12:33I will show you swine.
00:12:37How dare you, Gurker!
00:12:40How dare you, Gurker!
00:12:50Always right on time.
00:12:52Why is he defending the murderer?
00:12:55Why is he protecting her?
00:12:57How did someone in her status even get to know him?
00:13:00Rebecca, you're quite close to Calvin, right?
00:13:02You should tell him all the things that Avery did.
00:13:04Calvin, it was her.
00:13:06Avery came after me first.
00:13:07Because Wayne was just standing up for me.
00:13:08She even claimed to be the CEO of Bionet.
00:13:12Hmm.
00:13:13And where did she get you?
00:13:16Right there.
00:13:17Yeah.
00:13:23Next time, don't bother dealing with the dirty work.
00:13:28Calvin, you hit me for her!
00:13:30You're right.
00:13:32I...
00:13:32I shouldn't have hit you.
00:13:36I...
00:13:36I shouldn't have hit you.
00:13:38I should have squashed you like the bug that you are.
00:13:42I hereby announce to you,
00:13:44Avery Johnson,
00:13:46CEO of Bionet.
00:13:49No way she's the CEO.
00:13:51This woman somehow got to the great Calvin Barnett?
00:13:53Stop being a little bitch.
00:13:55My family is equally as powerful as you.
00:13:58Nothing to be afraid of.
00:14:12Cal.
00:14:12Yeah, I'm busy.
00:14:14Make it quick.
00:14:15You need to take this meeting.
00:14:17It's with the governor,
00:14:18or you can come see me in jail.
00:14:20Fine.
00:14:21Something came up.
00:14:25Hi.
00:14:25I have to go.
00:14:26Oh, don't worry.
00:14:28I'll be fine.
00:14:35Congratulations.
00:14:39I'm sorry, everyone.
00:14:41I'm late.
00:14:42Oh, my God.
00:14:43He's Brad Stevens.
00:14:44He's a huge investor,
00:14:46and it looks like he's interested in Bionet.
00:14:48Mr. Stevens.
00:14:50Good to see you.
00:14:51You didn't happen to invest in this company,
00:14:53did you?
00:14:54Good to see you, Wayne.
00:14:55I did.
00:14:56I heard great things from Calvin,
00:14:58so I put in 100 mil.
00:15:00I am so sorry to hear that.
00:15:02What?
00:15:04Avery Johnson, the CEO,
00:15:06is none other than the killer.
00:15:08The murderer?
00:15:09How?
00:15:12The murderer?
00:15:13How?
00:15:14That's what we said, too.
00:15:15Huh.
00:15:15Well, maybe you should consider things from the other side.
00:15:21Who said that we need investors?
00:15:23Especially the kind like you.
00:15:25Excuse me?
00:15:26I don't know how you got into this position,
00:15:29but you have no proof that you can lead this company to success.
00:15:32You want proof?
00:15:34How about having one of the most successful IPOs of the decade,
00:15:38when I made Apex Solutions public over five years ago?
00:15:42Wayne is the real force behind Apex Solutions.
00:15:45Yes, Avery.
00:15:45No one's going to believe the words of a murderer.
00:15:49Listen up, everyone.
00:15:51I, Wayne Elliott,
00:15:53am the real power behind Apex Solutions.
00:15:56The truth finally comes out.
00:15:58Turns out she's outside,
00:15:59which isn't there to back it up with.
00:16:02Huh.
00:16:02Oh, yeah.
00:16:03Well, who was the one spending late nights at the company?
00:16:06Or meeting with investors at my own expense?
00:16:09If you really did all that hard work for the company,
00:16:12then where is the people to support you?
00:16:15What if they are here?
00:16:17If they are, we'll be in big trouble.
00:16:19I took care of it.
00:16:20They know if anybody contacts Avery,
00:16:22they'll be fired from the company.
00:16:24Huh.
00:16:29We are representatives from Apex Solutions,
00:16:31and we're here to congratulate Avery on her new company, BioNet.
00:16:40Ah.
00:16:41Jason and Sabrina,
00:16:43I'm so glad you're here.
00:16:44We heard the news.
00:16:45We had to come see you.
00:16:46We thought we weren't going to see you again.
00:16:48Looks like we'll be saying goodbye
00:16:50to a few familiar faces at Apex Solutions.
00:16:53As the chief of marketing,
00:16:55I can vouch for Avery
00:16:56and everything she said is true.
00:16:58And as the chief of operations,
00:16:59I personally witnessed
00:17:00Ms. Johnson's dedication to Apex Solutions.
00:17:03On the other hand,
00:17:04it's Wayne Elliott
00:17:05who's been riding the coattails
00:17:06of Avery's success.
00:17:07If the COO and CMO are supporting her,
00:17:11would I have been wrong about Avery?
00:17:14So Wayne Elliott is the worthless one all along?
00:17:17It makes you question
00:17:18why Rebecca's defending him so much.
00:17:20How can you two be supporting this woman
00:17:22when you're both still executives at Apex?
00:17:24This makes me question
00:17:26your loyalty as employees.
00:17:27They must not want to stick around for long.
00:17:30Huh.
00:17:30Already resorting to threats.
00:17:33But also,
00:17:34who says they're still executives at Apex?
00:17:37There's something we haven't mentioned.
00:17:40Jason and I are leaving the company
00:17:42and so are over 300 staff members.
00:17:45How dare you betray me?
00:18:00If you walk out on me,
00:18:01I'll make sure that no one
00:18:03ever hires you again in this industry.
00:18:06How can they be traitors
00:18:07if they're showing their loyalty to me?
00:18:10Welcome to Biomet,
00:18:11your new home.
00:18:13You sore loser.
00:18:15You just had to bring everyone down with you.
00:18:17And how did you get all the staff to sign?
00:18:20What did you threaten them with?
00:18:22My employees at Apex only show respect.
00:18:25There's no need for threats.
00:18:27We did this out of respect, not fear.
00:18:30Ms. Johnson,
00:18:31I apologize for speaking before knowing the facts.
00:18:35If you would reconsider my interest
00:18:36in the new company,
00:18:37I would like to...
00:18:37No, we can chat about it later.
00:18:39But you shouldn't doubt me
00:18:40just because I'm a woman.
00:18:43Anything else?
00:18:45Ms. Vivian Verne is here.
00:18:51Wow.
00:18:51I can't believe Vivian is attending this event.
00:18:54Is it her nickname?
00:18:55Queen Scarlet?
00:18:56She controls the dark side of the city.
00:19:00You're Avery Johnson?
00:19:02The alluring woman
00:19:03my brother can't stop chasing?
00:19:05The alluring woman my brother can't stop chasing?
00:19:12What?
00:19:13I mean, why else would my brother
00:19:15rescue you from prison,
00:19:17invest a billion dollars into a company
00:19:19just to make you the CEO?
00:19:21I kept my brother busy
00:19:25so I could come find out
00:19:27what kind of woman
00:19:28has the balls
00:19:29to seduce my brother.
00:19:31I never seduced Calvin.
00:19:34Oh?
00:19:35Then what is your relationship with him?
00:19:37Ms. Barnett,
00:19:38don't listen to her.
00:19:40You're from the Porter family,
00:19:41aren't you?
00:19:42Rebecca?
00:19:43That's right.
00:19:44You were saying?
00:19:45This woman is nothing but a fraud.
00:19:47How can an orphan like her
00:19:49all of a sudden
00:19:49come into such a powerful position?
00:19:52And look at her.
00:19:53How could a woman like her
00:19:54attract her brother
00:19:55unless she's doing
00:19:56some kind of trick in bed
00:19:57to win him over?
00:19:58You've been quiet.
00:20:03Anything to say?
00:20:05First of all,
00:20:07I never seduced Calvin Barnett.
00:20:09And second of all,
00:20:11I don't need to seduce anyone
00:20:12to be rich.
00:20:14I am rich myself.
00:20:17If you're rich,
00:20:18I'm Ryan Gosling.
00:20:20Oh, you don't believe me?
00:20:22Well, why don't we make a bet?
00:20:24On what?
00:20:26International top AI designers.
00:20:28John Claironc
00:20:29just announced
00:20:30the next quarter project
00:20:32last week.
00:20:33Let's make a bet
00:20:34to see whether
00:20:35Bionet can win the bid.
00:20:37The loser will leave town
00:20:38and never come back.
00:20:43And never come back.
00:20:45Everyone knows
00:20:46John has a soft spot
00:20:48for the Porter family.
00:20:50Hold on.
00:20:52Not only will the loser
00:20:53need to leave town,
00:20:54but they'll also sign over
00:20:56all of their shares
00:20:57to the winning party.
00:21:04Done.
00:21:05Don't cry
00:21:06when we take it all away from you.
00:21:07I can't wait to see you
00:21:08packing your bags.
00:21:15Let's begin.
00:21:19Miss Claironc,
00:21:20are you available
00:21:21to come to the Wilson Hotel?
00:21:22Mr. John Claironc
00:21:24is here.
00:21:31Mr. Claironc,
00:21:32you're here so quickly.
00:21:33Rebecca just called him
00:21:34and he already showed up.
00:21:36I don't know how you can make it
00:21:37out of this one.
00:21:38Mr. Claironc,
00:21:39I'd like you to meet
00:21:39Wayne Elliott,
00:21:40the chairman of Apex Solutions.
00:21:42Mr. Claironc,
00:21:43I have heard so much about you.
00:21:45I really admire
00:21:47your design concept.
00:21:50We would love to discuss
00:21:52the opportunity
00:21:52for Apex Solutions
00:21:54taking your bid
00:21:55and being partners
00:21:55for Project X
00:21:56in the next quarter.
00:21:57Oh, well,
00:21:59I'm all ears,
00:21:59Miss Porter.
00:22:03I'm all ears,
00:22:04Miss Porter.
00:22:05Babe,
00:22:06you're about to be
00:22:06a lot richer.
00:22:07Hmm.
00:22:08Mr. Claironc,
00:22:10my name is Avery Johnson
00:22:11and I'd love for you
00:22:13to give me a chance.
00:22:14Why should I?
00:22:15Because I can see
00:22:17something in your design
00:22:18that has a major flaw
00:22:19and no one else can.
00:22:21Really?
00:22:22No one else?
00:22:24Wait,
00:22:25why are you
00:22:25entertaining this woman?
00:22:28Well, since you're
00:22:28so interested,
00:22:29why don't you
00:22:30share your thoughts
00:22:31on Project X?
00:22:34Well,
00:22:35I, uh,
00:22:36happen to think
00:22:37that Project X
00:22:39What he means to say
00:22:41is that Project X
00:22:42is full of
00:22:43so many opportunities
00:22:44in medical
00:22:45and educational
00:22:46and military fields
00:22:48and so many more
00:22:49past that.
00:22:49That is exactly
00:22:50what I was going to say.
00:22:53Avery,
00:22:53it's okay
00:22:54if you have nothing to add.
00:22:57While they are correct
00:22:58about the possibilities
00:22:59of Project X,
00:23:01there is still
00:23:01one major flaw.
00:23:08And what flaw
00:23:09is that?
00:23:11Exactly.
00:23:17Project X
00:23:18is ahead of its time
00:23:19and with that
00:23:20comes security issues.
00:23:22Anything having to do
00:23:23in the medical space
00:23:24or military
00:23:25is bound for hacking.
00:23:27Hmm.
00:23:28What do you suggest?
00:23:30You let my company
00:23:31handle it.
00:23:32With my employees
00:23:33from Apex Solutions
00:23:35now at BioNet,
00:23:37we can handle
00:23:37these issues.
00:23:44You're the only one
00:23:45who sees it
00:23:46for what it is.
00:23:48I select Avery Johnson
00:23:49as a new partner
00:23:50for Project X.
00:23:51Woo!
00:23:52Miss Johnson
00:23:57is the first person
00:23:58to ever point out
00:23:59any flaw in his design.
00:24:01I can see why
00:24:01she's a new CEO.
00:24:03No,
00:24:03this can't be happening.
00:24:04You can't go with her.
00:24:06Let's put this down
00:24:08on paper
00:24:08and make it official.
00:24:09Great.
00:24:17BioNet's first project.
00:24:19We're in business.
00:24:20I think it's time
00:24:21you upheld
00:24:22your end of the deal.
00:24:24How could you do this to me?
00:24:26This is my gift
00:24:27for Avery Johnson.
00:24:28I assume you were
00:24:34just stringing me
00:24:35along this entire time?
00:24:37If Ms. Porter
00:24:37had displayed
00:24:38the competence
00:24:39I required
00:24:39for this project,
00:24:40her name would be
00:24:41on the tune.
00:24:42As it is,
00:24:43she comes nowhere
00:24:43close to the level
00:24:44of Ms. Johnson.
00:24:46Mr. Claronk,
00:24:48Apex Solutions
00:24:48is far more experienced
00:24:50in this matter
00:24:50than BioNet.
00:24:51Mr. Claronk,
00:24:52if you don't go with us
00:24:53on Project X,
00:24:54then I'm afraid
00:24:54my family and I
00:24:55will have to cut ties.
00:24:56With someone like you
00:24:57as heir to the Porter family,
00:24:59I'd rather cut ties myself.
00:25:01What?
00:25:03No, my parents
00:25:04will kill me
00:25:04if they find out
00:25:05I was crazy.
00:25:06Then shut up!
00:25:10Rebecca really messed up
00:25:11big time.
00:25:13I can't be caught
00:25:14with all her bad
00:25:15dealings with
00:25:15these powerful people.
00:25:19I'm willing to
00:25:20double my investment
00:25:21in the company.
00:25:22Me too?
00:25:23Ms. Johnson
00:25:24will definitely
00:25:24lead by buying
00:25:25into prosperity.
00:25:26Quite impressive.
00:25:29I'm looking forward
00:25:30to working together, Avery.
00:25:34Goodbye, Mr. Claronk.
00:25:36Let's get out of here.
00:25:40You two are not leaving yet.
00:25:44Security!
00:25:47Security!
00:25:50You've lost the bet.
00:25:51It's time for you
00:25:52to sign up with the
00:25:52sheriff's
00:25:53to Avery
00:25:54and get out of town.
00:25:57Get out of here!
00:25:58Get out of here!
00:25:59Oh, come on.
00:26:00It was just a joke.
00:26:01Everyone knows
00:26:02it wasn't a real bet.
00:26:03As if you'd say that
00:26:04if I lost the bet.
00:26:06Of course I would!
00:26:08Avery, please!
00:26:09No!
00:26:10Save your lives
00:26:11for someone else!
00:26:14Calvin,
00:26:15we were wrong.
00:26:15I mean,
00:26:17Wayne was wrong
00:26:18for making that bet.
00:26:19I stand by
00:26:20what Avery wants.
00:26:21And she wants
00:26:22you two gone.
00:26:23Yeah,
00:26:24so I suggest
00:26:25you start going home
00:26:26to pack your bags
00:26:27because...
00:26:28Well done,
00:26:34my darling daughter.
00:26:37Who's that?
00:26:38Avery,
00:26:39your demon
00:26:39has come for you.
00:26:41Melissa,
00:26:42what are you doing here?
00:26:43My dear daughter,
00:26:44you've become
00:26:44the CEO of a big company
00:26:46and yet you didn't
00:26:47invite me,
00:26:48your mother.
00:26:50Heartbroken.
00:26:52Make me
00:26:52the chairman
00:26:53of Bionet.
00:26:57Make me
00:26:58the chairman
00:26:58of Bionet.
00:27:01No!
00:27:02There was a reason
00:27:03you weren't invited.
00:27:04I never
00:27:05want to see
00:27:06you again.
00:27:08Is this how
00:27:09you treat your mother?
00:27:10Adoptive,
00:27:11mother.
00:27:12Fine.
00:27:13And I'll just
00:27:14let everyone
00:27:14know you're
00:27:15nothing but a leech.
00:27:17No way.
00:27:18The Avery Johnson
00:27:19greedy
00:27:20can't be.
00:27:22You have all
00:27:23been deceived
00:27:24by her.
00:27:26Ever since
00:27:26I took her in,
00:27:27Avery's been
00:27:28abusing me.
00:27:31Not long
00:27:32after turning 18,
00:27:34she developed
00:27:34a gambling habit
00:27:36and emptied
00:27:36my entire savings.
00:27:39Also,
00:27:40she's never home.
00:27:42she's always
00:27:43out with
00:27:44some man,
00:27:45a different
00:27:45one,
00:27:46every night.
00:27:48Avery!
00:27:50You filthy
00:27:51whore!
00:27:52You're
00:27:52disgusting!
00:27:54I'm not sure
00:27:54who to bring here.
00:27:56Avery's innocent,
00:27:57isn't she?
00:27:57Why would they
00:27:58believe her?
00:28:02Avery!
00:28:03Thank God!
00:28:04Help me,
00:28:05please!
00:28:05What are you
00:28:06doing to her?
00:28:13Marcus,
00:28:14I brought her
00:28:15here as we
00:28:16agreed.
00:28:17Now,
00:28:18clear my deck.
00:28:18Aren't you
00:28:27a gorgeous
00:28:27little thing?
00:28:30Why don't you
00:28:30say you,
00:28:33we,
00:28:34go somewhere
00:28:35a bit more
00:28:35private?
00:28:36The police
00:28:37know where I am.
00:28:39It's only a matter
00:28:39of moments
00:28:40before they arrive.
00:28:41The next time
00:28:49I see you,
00:28:50I'll be standing
00:28:51over your casket
00:28:52at the funeral.
00:28:53I won't let
00:28:55it be that easy.
00:28:57I'll drag
00:28:58you with me.
00:29:02Wow.
00:29:03You really
00:29:04had me fooled,
00:29:05Avery.
00:29:05The truth
00:29:06finally comes out.
00:29:09Darling,
00:29:10are you okay?
00:29:12I'm fine.
00:29:13Did you really
00:29:14think that it
00:29:15would be that
00:29:15easy to get rid
00:29:16of me,
00:29:17my dear?
00:29:23You see
00:29:28everyone?
00:29:29This is who
00:29:30she really is,
00:29:31a monster.
00:29:32I am not
00:29:33the helpless
00:29:33child that you
00:29:34took in.
00:29:36What are you
00:29:37talking about?
00:29:48Wait,
00:29:49this is the
00:29:49loan agreement
00:29:50from the casino
00:29:51for five million
00:29:52dollars.
00:29:52Yes,
00:29:53except it's not
00:29:53Avery.
00:29:54It says
00:29:54Melissa Johnson.
00:29:55What's happening?
00:29:57Did Calvin
00:29:58just help me?
00:30:04How did you
00:30:05get your hand
00:30:06on this document?
00:30:08What should
00:30:08we do?
00:30:10Melissa,
00:30:10you useless
00:30:11twat.
00:30:13You,
00:30:13Wayne,
00:30:14and Rebecca
00:30:14all framed me
00:30:15for the murder
00:30:16of my friend
00:30:17and hung it
00:30:18on my head.
00:30:20Rebecca,
00:30:21help me.
00:30:22You forced
00:30:24her to sign
00:30:25this document,
00:30:26didn't you,
00:30:26Avery?
00:30:32First you
00:30:32abuse her,
00:30:33then you leave
00:30:34her to handle
00:30:34your debts?
00:30:36That's right,
00:30:37everyone.
00:30:38Avery forced
00:30:39me to sign
00:30:40this agreement
00:30:40with a knife
00:30:41to my throat.
00:30:42I feel so bad
00:30:43for her.
00:30:44I don't.
00:30:45It doesn't
00:30:45sound like
00:30:46Avery at all.
00:30:47I don't
00:30:48believe it
00:30:48either.
00:30:50She has
00:30:51hurt me
00:30:52countless
00:30:52times,
00:30:54and yet
00:30:55I forgive
00:30:55her over
00:30:56and over
00:30:57again.
00:30:58And even
00:30:59though she
00:30:59is my
00:31:00adopted
00:31:00daughter,
00:31:01I have
00:31:02treated her
00:31:03as my
00:31:03own.
00:31:05And I
00:31:05love her.
00:31:07You should
00:31:07be arrested.
00:31:08The one
00:31:09who should be
00:31:09arrested
00:31:10is her.
00:31:15Avery.
00:31:16Avery.
00:31:17Help me,
00:31:18please.
00:31:20Marcus,
00:31:22I brought
00:31:22her here
00:31:23as we
00:31:23agreed.
00:31:24Now,
00:31:25clear my
00:31:25debts.
00:31:26Aren't you
00:31:27a gorgeous
00:31:27little thing?
00:31:29Sending
00:31:30me off
00:31:30to the
00:31:30debt collectors.
00:31:31That's
00:31:32your definition
00:31:32of love?
00:31:36That's
00:31:37your definition
00:31:37of love?
00:31:39No.
00:31:40No,
00:31:41this can't
00:31:41be real.
00:31:42We'll
00:31:43go somewhere
00:31:44a bit more
00:31:44private.
00:31:45That's
00:31:45enough.
00:31:50You've
00:31:51treated me
00:31:51like a maid
00:31:52ever since
00:31:52you plucked
00:31:53me out
00:31:53of the
00:31:54orphanage.
00:31:55You
00:31:55are the
00:31:56leech!
00:32:01You
00:32:02wouldn't
00:32:03have a life

00:32:04wasn't
00:32:04for me,
00:32:05you
00:32:05ungrateful
00:32:06bitch!
00:32:10I
00:32:12will
00:32:12make
00:32:12you

00:32:15Scars,
00:32:15get her
00:32:16out of
00:32:16here.
00:32:17You're

00:32:18without
00:32:19me!
00:32:20Nothing!
00:32:22I'll see you
00:32:23in hell!
00:32:26I'm so
00:32:27sorry to
00:32:27all of our
00:32:28guests.
00:32:28However,
00:32:30I would like
00:32:30to continue
00:32:30my previous
00:32:31announcement.
00:32:32announcement.
00:32:33As I
00:32:33was saying,
00:32:34Avery
00:32:34Johnson,
00:32:35CEO of
00:32:37Bionet.
00:32:42And
00:32:42there's one
00:32:43more thing.
00:32:44There is
00:32:44one more
00:32:44thing.
00:32:46She is
00:32:46awesome,
00:32:47my fiance.
00:32:51Avery
00:32:51Johnson,
00:32:53will you
00:32:55marry me?
00:33:14So this
00:33:15means,
00:33:15if anyone
00:33:16messes with
00:33:17her,
00:33:18they're taking
00:33:18on Barnet
00:33:19Corp as well.
00:33:21Since when
00:33:22did we decide
00:33:22to get married?
00:33:25I'm sorry
00:33:25for a second
00:33:26cruise,
00:33:27but I had
00:33:27no other
00:33:28way to get
00:33:28them to
00:33:29back off.
00:33:29Miss Barnet,
00:33:31Miss Barnet,
00:33:32you can't let
00:33:33your brother
00:33:33be seduced
00:33:34by this woman.
00:33:34Get out of here,
00:33:35Rebecca.
00:33:36Wait,
00:33:37what?
00:33:38Ugh,
00:33:38I put up
00:33:39with your nonsense
00:33:40long enough.
00:33:41Miss Barnet.
00:33:42Please.
00:33:42I was just
00:33:43testing Miss
00:33:44Avery Johnson
00:33:45to see if she
00:33:46was worth
00:33:47my brother's
00:33:47time.
00:33:48But as my
00:33:49brother said,
00:33:50now that Avery's
00:33:52part of the
00:33:52family,
00:33:53she will also
00:33:54be under
00:33:55my protection.

00:34:26with both companies.
00:34:31Are you really
00:34:34going to hand
00:34:34over Apex to her?
00:34:36Over my
00:34:37dead body.
00:34:41That's right.
00:34:41baby.
00:34:48Did you know
00:34:48that Mr. Barnett
00:34:49just got another
00:34:50Michelinista
00:34:51for his newest
00:34:51restaurant?
00:34:53Really?
00:34:53I had no idea
00:34:54he was a chef, too.
00:34:56He's an amazing
00:34:57one, but I've
00:34:58never seen him
00:34:58cook in person.
00:35:00He must be
00:35:01very special
00:35:01for him to
00:35:02break out his
00:35:02apron.
00:35:03I had no idea
00:35:13you were an
00:35:13award-winning
00:35:14Michelin star
00:35:15chef.
00:35:16Oh, and
00:35:17thank you for
00:35:19sending out
00:35:20Melissa's
00:35:20alone agreement
00:35:21at the banquet.
00:35:22Thank you for
00:35:25coming back.
00:35:27I've waited
00:35:28years for this
00:35:29day.
00:35:33Come on.
00:35:35You know what?
00:35:36Rebecca said
00:35:37something to me
00:35:38before I left
00:35:39and...
00:35:40don't listen to
00:35:41anything she
00:35:41has to say.
00:35:43Okay?
00:35:45Never mind.
00:35:47Fuck love.
00:35:48To hell with love.
00:35:51I think you've
00:35:51had a little bit
00:35:52too much tonight.
00:35:53You know what I've
00:35:54had a bit too much
00:35:55of?
00:35:56Fake love and
00:35:56empty promises.
00:35:57Fake love and
00:36:02empty promises.
00:36:03I'm never going
00:36:04to find the love
00:36:05that I deserve.
00:36:06And that's the
00:36:07truth, okay?
00:36:08I am so done
00:36:09with fake promises.
00:36:12Empty-ness
00:36:13inside.
00:36:17One day
00:36:18you'll see.
00:36:21Someone will
00:36:22love you for
00:36:22truly who you
00:36:23are.
00:36:27Shit, shit, shit.
00:36:50I won't be here
00:36:51any minute.
00:36:51Hurry up, honey.
00:36:53As long as we stay
00:36:53hidden, they can't
00:36:54force me to sign over
00:36:55my shares at Ablex Solutions.
00:36:56I'm trying.
00:36:57You hurry.
00:36:58And just where
00:36:58you two think
00:36:59you're going?
00:37:00Uh, you said
00:37:02you wanted us
00:37:02to leave town, right?
00:37:03Yeah, not before
00:37:04you sign over your
00:37:05share.
00:37:05What?
00:37:05No!
00:37:05No!
00:37:06No!
00:37:07No!
00:37:07No!
00:37:08No!
00:37:08No!
00:37:08There she is.
00:37:13Thank you all
00:37:17for coming.
00:37:18It's so wonderful
00:37:19to see all of
00:37:19your familiar faces
00:37:20here.
00:37:23These are for
00:37:24you, Ms. CEO.
00:37:25Oh, thank you.
00:37:28I love that.
00:37:30Where is
00:37:31Wayne Elliott?
00:37:32Sorry, Ms. Johnson.
00:37:33Just can't seem to get
00:37:34a hold of him right now.
00:37:42This is madness!
00:37:47This is madness!
00:37:48Well, I don't have all day.
00:37:51Let's get started.
00:37:52You can't be serious.
00:37:53Obviously, this was just
00:37:53some kind of a joke of a bet.
00:37:55I doubt that.
00:37:56Even if I agree to sign it,
00:37:58you think anyone on the staff
00:37:59is going to be okay with me
00:38:00signing over the company
00:38:01to a murderer?
00:38:03As you can see,
00:38:04the decision was unanimous.
00:38:06The entire company signed
00:38:07to transition over to
00:38:08Avery Johnson.
00:38:10There was never her
00:38:11physical agreement.
00:38:12What's to say
00:38:12it ever happened?
00:38:13I can.
00:38:15We were all there
00:38:16when you made the bet.
00:38:17So how about you honor
00:38:18and at least keep
00:38:19some of your dignity?
00:38:21Be a man.
00:38:22Grow a pair.
00:38:24I have the head
00:38:25of the big eight companies
00:38:26outside.
00:38:27Either you sign that deal
00:38:28or I'll make sure
00:38:29you never have
00:38:30another job again.
00:38:31congratulations.
00:38:49I fucking hate her.
00:38:51Mark my words,
00:38:52I will have
00:38:53the last laugh.
00:38:54Thank you for helping me out
00:38:56with Wayne and Rebecca.
00:38:57No worries.
00:38:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:39:00I forgot to mention
00:39:00JPM,
00:39:02they wanted to set up
00:39:03an interview about us
00:39:04and our engagement.
00:39:06Wasn't that just a ruse
00:39:07to get everyone
00:39:08off our back?
00:39:09I know,
00:39:10but if we break the news now
00:39:12then it will plummet
00:39:13our stock prices.
00:39:15So.
00:39:15you're not the only woman
00:39:32in his life.
00:39:33I can't wait for you
00:39:34to find out.
00:39:34this is fine.
00:39:40It's just an interview.
00:39:42We need to look the part.
00:39:45You two seem so perfect
00:39:46for each other.
00:39:47So, Calvin,

00:39:48when did you know
00:39:49she is the one?
00:39:54Well,
00:39:55it was love at first sight.
00:39:58That's wonderful.
00:40:00Well,
00:40:01tell me,
00:40:01when's the wagon?
00:40:03Yeah,
00:40:04still figuring it out.

00:40:45Thank you so much
00:40:46for going along
00:40:46with the engagement.
00:40:48It really helped
00:40:48our stock prices.
00:40:50Well,
00:40:50thank you
00:40:50for everything
00:40:51you've done for me
00:40:52the past few weeks.
00:40:54Of course.
00:40:55I think you've had enough.
00:40:56Maybe some...
00:40:57I'm so sorry.
00:41:12I've been waiting
00:41:13for this moment.
00:41:17I've been waiting
00:41:18for this moment.
00:41:20you
00:41:20are too close.
00:41:25Don't you feel
00:41:26this too?
00:41:26I have to take this.
00:41:33I have to take this.
00:41:40I have to take this.
00:41:42I have to take this.
00:41:53I have to take this.
00:41:55So do I.
00:41:58Mom?
00:42:00Wait.
00:42:02What about Rebecca?
00:42:04What?
00:42:05Mom?
00:42:06Mom?
00:42:07Dad?
00:42:08Avery Johnson
00:42:10humiliated me
00:42:12and my boyfriend
00:42:13in front of the entire town.
00:42:17Why aren't you saying anything?
00:42:18Why aren't you saying anything?
00:42:23Why aren't you saying anything?
00:42:25Why aren't you saying anything?
00:42:31Poor baby.
00:42:33Mom.
00:42:35Dad.
00:42:36Please do something about Avery.
00:42:38She's evil!
00:42:39Oh, darling.
00:42:45Oh, darling.
00:42:46Obviously, we didn't listen to her.
00:42:49All right.
00:42:50Well, thanks for letting me know, Mom.
00:42:51I'll talk to you soon.
00:42:52Huh. I wonder if Calvin will be okay if I use his computer to send the contract.
00:43:07I didn't realize Calvin was into online guides.
00:43:10Oh, sorry. I'll come back later.
00:43:24Oh, no, no. It's fine. Can I ask you something?
00:43:29I'm assuming this is Calvin as a kid, but do you know who that girl is?
00:43:34This is... he's childhood best friend. He doesn't really talk much about her though.
00:43:39But I just know that he calls her Ava.
00:43:44Well, where is she now?
00:43:46Oh, I'm not sure. They had a big falling out 15 years ago, but I know that he goes to see her once a year.
00:43:55When does he go?
00:43:57Actually, I think that day is today. Yeah, the 15th.
00:44:02You're not the only woman in his life. I can't wait for you to find out.
00:44:09Hey, Charlie. This is everything you can find on your daughter.
00:44:24Kidnapping.
00:44:26Amnesia. Orphanage. Frame for murder?
00:44:34I can't believe all this... all this happened to my sweet Ava.
00:44:40It should have been me, not her.
00:44:50It should have been me, not her.
00:44:53It wasn't your fault. She made that choice so you could escape.
00:44:57I believe it's best that we don't mention this again. I don't want Ava to have to keep on reliving this.
00:45:07Hey, Mrs. Barnet. Good to see you.
00:45:09Hey, Carl.
00:45:10Is that title of the year again?
00:45:12Give me your finest re-selection.
00:45:15What's the occasion?
00:45:18After 15 years, I... I found her.
00:45:23That's incredible.
00:45:25Here.
00:45:27On the house.
00:45:33Another.
00:45:35Sure.
00:45:43Another.
00:45:48Are you okay?
00:45:55Ava.
00:45:57I miss you so much.
00:46:00Who is Ava?
00:46:02I really am not the only woman in his life.
00:46:05It was love at first sight!
00:46:18That's wonderful!
00:46:20Well, tell me, when's the wagon?
00:46:22Fuck you.
00:46:23Fuck you, Avery.
00:46:24You think you're so goddamn smart?
00:46:27You ruined my goddamn life!
00:46:30Fuck you!
00:46:31Fuck you!
00:46:34Baby, calm down.
00:46:36Listen, it's not over.
00:46:38My parents want to see you.
00:46:40They do.
00:46:41Yes.
00:46:42Let's proceed forward with the wedding plans and then I'll convince them to help us take back Apex Solutions.
00:46:46But I have nothing now.
00:46:48How are we even going to abort the wedding?
00:46:50I'm sure our friend Avery can help us with that.
00:46:53Avery, would you like to join me for breakfast?
00:47:06No thanks, I'm not hungry.
00:47:07I have to get to Apex Solutions to handle an issue.
00:47:10I'll take you.
00:47:11I'm fine.
00:47:12What is it?
00:47:13Is this my cooking?
00:47:14No.
00:47:15I still got it.
00:47:18What are you doing?
00:47:19No, I still got it.
00:47:25What are you doing?
00:47:26Oh, first of all, could you come with us?
00:47:28Oh no!
00:47:29Stop, please.
00:47:30I think I'll put you to sleep.
00:47:32Let me go!
00:47:34You sent the ransom to man, sir.
00:47:37You sent the ransom to man, sir.
00:47:40You sent the ransom to man, sir.
00:47:43You sent the ransom to man, sir.
00:47:46You sent the ransom to man, sir.
00:47:49Good.
00:47:50When they reply, tell them to double it.
00:47:53I want a hundred million in cash.
00:47:56Fuck you, Wade!
00:47:57I could fucking recognize your voice from anywhere!
00:48:03Fucking bitch!
00:48:09I knew it!
00:48:10You couldn't do this yourself,
00:48:11so you had to hire someone to do it for you!
00:48:14Avery, Avery, Avery!
00:48:17I was thinking that a hundred million dollars was going to be enough.
00:48:22But now, I'm thinking I also want you dead.
00:48:26That's enough!
00:48:32If you hurt her again,
00:48:34I'll make sure you're not walking out of here alive.
00:48:37How about you just show me the money?
00:48:38Good.
00:48:39Now toss it over.
00:48:40No!
00:48:41Don't give him the money!
00:48:42Let her go!
00:48:43On three?
00:48:44One...
00:48:45Two...
00:48:46Three!
00:48:47What are you doing?
00:48:48Do you think I'm that stupid?
00:48:49That I would let her go before checking the money?
00:48:51Come on, sweetheart.
00:48:52Let's check the briefcase.
00:48:53I fucking knew it!
00:48:54I won a hundred million dollars!
00:48:55I won a hundred million dollars!
00:48:56I won a hundred million dollars!
00:48:57Let her go!
00:48:58Let her go!
00:48:59On three?
00:49:00One...
00:49:01Two...
00:49:02Three!
00:49:03Three!
00:49:04Three!
00:49:05Three!

00:49:30Three!
00:49:31Three!
00:49:32Three!
00:49:33Good, now let my man go and I'll let her go.
00:49:53Let's get out of here.
00:50:07Are you injured?
00:50:15I've been waiting 15 years to tell you this.
00:50:19I love...
00:50:20Who is Ava?
00:50:21Wait, what?
00:50:25I saw the photo in your study.
00:50:30I know who Ava is.
00:50:33I told Charlie I wouldn't bring up the past again.
00:50:37I understand.
00:50:39No, hold on.
00:50:41They gotta wait, sir.
00:50:42Should we call in more men?
00:50:44No, he'll pay for it in time.
00:50:46Let him think he's winning, so he doesn't know what's happening next.
00:50:51Avery!
00:50:54Vivian?
00:50:57Let's talk.
00:51:09Vivian?
00:51:10Let's talk.
00:51:12I heard what happened.
00:51:16I heard what happened.
00:51:30Want me to take care of Wayne?
00:51:32No, I can deal with him.
00:51:34Okay.
00:51:35Okay.
00:51:36At least let me take care of his men.
00:51:40Okay.
00:51:41How are things with my brother?
00:51:47I think he's in love with someone else.
00:51:53What gives you that idea?
00:51:55He called me Ava the other night when he was drunk.
00:51:58I think you should talk to Calvin.
00:52:02There might be some misunderstanding.
00:52:05No, after everything I've been through, I just can't let another man lie to me again.
00:52:13Mr. Porter, since I resigned from Apex Solutions, my net worth is now over $100 million.
00:52:23Which, of course, is more than the valuation of Apex itself.
00:52:27I think it's a good time to announce your engagement at the birthday gathering.
00:52:32Now, I will also announce that Porter Inc. will be overthrowing Apex Solutions.
00:52:37We're very happy for the two of you.
00:52:41See, honey, I told you it would be alright.
00:52:43Once it's under the Porter name and we get married, you'll be put back in charge of Apex Solutions.
00:52:48Thank you, Dad.
00:52:50Wayne, could you hang back for a moment?
00:52:52I would like to discuss the plans to overthrow Apex Solutions with him.
00:52:56Of course.
00:53:01Wayne, unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with the marriage.
00:53:07What?
00:53:08Why not?
00:53:10I would like you to meet Lily.
00:53:12Hi, I'm Lily.
00:53:28Lily Porter, their real daughter.
00:53:31We recently rescued her after a long-lost connection.
00:53:41Wait, what?
00:53:42How?
00:53:43And what about Rebecca?
00:53:45Rebecca's just an adopted daughter.
00:53:47Lily is our true bloodline.
00:53:52Rebecca's been lying to me this whole time.
00:53:57I mean, just nothing but lies.
00:54:02Bitch, if you love lying, I'm going to let you taste your own medicine.
00:54:07So, what are we going to do about Rebecca?
00:54:11I can't start my life with someone like that.
00:54:13We have to teach her a lesson.
00:54:15Maybe I can help you with that.
00:54:20I can help you with your daughter.
00:54:29I can help you with your daughter.
00:54:32Well done. He believed you.
00:54:39He believed you.
00:54:41Your next task is to gain Wayne Elliott's trust.
00:54:45Oh, and we're going to give you a bonus, by the way.
00:54:49Will do.
00:54:52You were right.
00:54:54Wayne fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
00:54:56You know, people like him, it's always the easiest way out.
00:55:00Yeah, he's going to have a taste of his own medicine.
00:55:04Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm working on getting your 10 million back.
00:55:08I told you. What's mine is yours.
00:55:11No, it isn't like that. We're not together.
00:55:14So what's yours should be yours.
00:55:19Huh.
00:55:28Hmm.
00:55:30So, why'd you ask me out?
00:55:40You don't believe in love at first sight?
00:55:43Come on.
00:55:44I know that deep down, you're more than just that rebellious attitude that you put on.
00:55:50And when you're with me, you don't have to pretend.
00:55:53Just be yourself.
00:55:55I haven't heard that from a guy before.
00:55:57I was meaning to ask you, have you heard anything about the upcoming acquisition from your family?
00:56:08Listen, I know that you are entitled to all the Porter assets.
00:56:16And I just want to prove that I'm more than a man who just hides behind a woman's success.
00:56:21I want to make it on my own.
00:56:22My dad is investing $5 million into a new energy company, Hilton Unite.
00:56:31It's expected that their new energy renewal plan will triple investment.
00:56:36I'm sending you $5 million right now.
00:56:48He took the bait!
00:57:07I know Wayne Elliot too well. He's like the monkey with the food jar. He's too greedy to leave.
00:57:14Oh, and I'll transfer over 15 mil as proof of profit.
00:57:25Babe, what are you doing?
00:57:27I'm in the middle of a business meeting. Talk later.
00:57:30Oh! Great to see you!
00:57:33Holy shit! It worked! Baby, I could kiss you!
00:57:41Oh, listen. I was in a hurry to get here because I heard about a new investment opportunity.
00:57:48Do tell.
00:57:50I heard that the return is 8 times the investment.
00:57:55I am in.
00:57:58But the buy-in is 100 million.
00:58:02100 million.
00:58:07100 million.
00:58:09Is that too much?
00:58:11That's everything I have left. I mean, maybe I should wait?
00:58:16Imagine how long it'll take you to get 800 million.
00:58:20Uh, I, uh, uh, uh, I, um...
00:58:30Let's finish it.
00:58:31Guess what, sweetheart? You made 800 mil?
00:58:44Baby, I love you!
00:58:48I'll see you at Rebecca's birthday banquet next week.
00:58:51I'll hand you the check then.
00:58:53My parents plan on revealing the truth about Rebecca's identity.
00:58:57She'll be kicked out and then we can...
00:58:59And then, I can propose to you.
00:59:01If that's what you want, sweetheart.
00:59:03Uh-uh.
00:59:04Uh-uh.
00:59:05Ha-ha.
00:59:06Apex Solutions will actually be mine after all.
00:59:13Lily Porter, you are way too good to be true.
00:59:18Avery Johnson, stop right there!
00:59:35Can I help you with something, Ms. Porter?
00:59:41Take it.
00:59:44I better see you there.
00:59:46Why would I want to go?
00:59:48Trust me, you will.
00:59:50I have an important announcement that you won't want to miss.
01:00:00Lily dear, where are you?
01:00:02Almost there, sweetheart. Just stuck behind some accident.
01:00:05Let's just waste any more time.
01:00:08Welcome to our lovely host today, this special day.
01:00:11The one, the only.
01:00:13The daughter of Emily and Charlie Porter.
01:00:17Ms. Rebecca Porter.
01:00:25Thank you, everyone.
01:00:26Before I forget, I'd like to announce our special guest,
01:00:29Avery Johnson, CEO of Apex Solutions.
01:00:34Unfortunately, you won't have that title for long.
01:00:37Don't worry, hon. I'll leave you the janitor position.
01:00:40Hmm.
01:00:41The Porter family will be announcing their takeover of Apex Solutions.
01:00:50Are you sure you want to mess with the Barnett, though?
01:00:52Do you really think she's Calvin's fiancee?
01:00:55It's all just an arrangement. It's an act.
01:00:57If anything, she's his mistress.
01:01:00But didn't Mr. Barnett give her all of Bionet?
01:01:02Do you really think Barnett Corp would give over a billion dollar company to someone they just met?
01:01:07The way I see it, Calvin's just using her.
01:01:10So he can stay in control of the company while he's behind the scenes.
01:01:13No wonder Mr. Barnett didn't come with her today.
01:01:16Avery Johnson!
01:01:19Why don't you save yourself the embarrassment and admit the truth?
01:01:22Oh.
01:01:23Wipe that smirk off your face.
01:01:31Tonight's not your night.
01:01:34That's right.
01:01:35It's my night.
01:01:36And I'm here to announce my engagement to Wayne Elliott.
01:01:40How does it feel to always lose out on life?
01:01:43Well, if you're such a bottom feeder, why don't you feed on that?
01:01:50You bitch.
01:01:51Oh, and as for Apex Solutions, I'm not going anywhere.
01:01:57Just forget her.
01:01:58She'll learn soon enough.
01:01:59I'll wait until she finds out everything we've planned for her.
01:02:11Calvin, what are you doing here?
01:02:14Excuse me.
01:02:15Hey, why are you doing this?
01:02:18What?
01:02:19I'm not your side chick.
01:02:21What?
01:02:22Let go of me.
01:02:23Look, they're already fighting.
01:02:26So much for the perfect couple.
01:02:31Mom!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:33It's so great to see you!
01:02:34You two are really a perfect match.
01:02:37Thank you all for attending Rebecca's party.
01:02:42I have three announcements to make.
01:02:45First announcement is Porter Group will be acquiring Apex Solutions effective immediately,
01:02:52which means Avery Johnson will be removed as CEO.
01:02:57Dad, announce the second matter quickly.
01:03:00Second announcement is that Rebecca Porter is hereby expelled from the Porter family.
01:03:07Dad, why?
01:03:11Dad, why?
01:03:15We adopted Rebecca and raised her as one of her own.
01:03:22Recent behavior is showing that she does not deserve to carry the Porter name around.
01:03:28With that said, we removed her from all the Porter assets as well as our inheritance.
01:03:34No!
01:03:35This can't be happening!
01:03:36Mom, this has got to be some kind of sick joke!
01:03:37Please!
01:03:38You should have known this day we count after everything you have done!
01:03:39Lucy!
01:03:40Help me!
01:03:41Everyone's plotting against me!
01:03:42Liar!
01:03:43Wait!
01:03:44Baby, say something!
01:03:45You filthy liar!
01:03:46Everything you told me was a lie!
01:03:47What?
01:03:48I knew about the adoption.
01:03:49You betrayed me!
01:03:50You betrayed me!
01:03:51You betrayed me!
01:03:52Dad, you can't believe her!
01:03:53She's just a low-life orphan who's trying to leech her way into our society!
01:03:55What?
01:03:56What?
01:03:57You betrayed me!
01:03:58You betrayed me!
01:03:59Dad, you can't believe her!
01:04:00She's just a low-life orphan who's trying to leech her way into our society!
01:04:02You don't want to talk!
01:04:03You're an orphan yourself!
01:04:04Avery, stay out of this!
01:04:05What's a Porter family now?
01:04:06Oh, then why are you talking?
01:04:07Because I'm engaged to the real Porter family.
01:04:08I'm engaged to the real Porter family.
01:04:09What?
01:04:10What?
01:04:11What?
01:04:12What?
01:04:13What?
01:04:14What?
01:04:15What?
01:04:16What?
01:04:17What?
01:04:18What?
01:04:19What?
01:04:20What?
01:04:21What?
01:04:22What?
01:04:23What?
01:04:24What?
01:04:25What?
01:04:26What?
01:04:27What?
01:04:28What?
01:04:29What?
01:04:30This Is Who?
01:04:32What?
01:04:33What?
01:04:34Definitely?
01:04:35Oh, I didn't realize I was engaged to you.
01:04:37What?
01:04:38I know, it's hard for your little brain to understand.
01:04:39So, Mr. Porter, why don't you go ahead and make the third announcement?
01:04:50Alright, the last and final announcement is that Avery Johnson is real dog.
01:04:56The true heir to the Porter family.
01:05:01The true heir to the Porter family.
01:05:05You told me Lily was your daughter.
01:05:10You're saying I don't know who my daughter is?
01:05:12Avery was the daughter we lost many years ago.
01:05:16With that said, all of our assets now belong to our lovely Avery.
01:05:23No, no, no, no, no.
01:05:24This is bullshit.
01:05:25All right, Lily can clear this up.
01:05:31You planned this entire thing, didn't you?
01:05:35You naughty little bitch.
01:05:39You fucking loser.
01:05:43You fucking loser.
01:05:46Are you okay?
01:05:47I'm fine.
01:05:50So this entire time you knew Avery was your real daughter?
01:05:53Oh, how does it feel now?
01:05:59You're praying me for murder.
01:06:02I really hope this is a birthday.
01:06:03You'll never forget.
01:06:04You bitch.
01:06:06Oh, looks like you really like it.
01:06:20Someone like you will never be loved by anyone.
01:06:24Traitor, you were going to leave me for someone else.
01:06:37Get off me.
01:06:38Liar.
01:06:39All right.
01:06:40All right.
01:06:40I think it's time for the party to be over.
01:06:42Thank you all for attending.
01:06:51Avery.
01:06:53Can we talk?
01:06:55About what?
01:06:56Everything's been resolved.
01:06:59And here's your ten million.
01:07:01Goodbye.
01:07:01Avery.
01:07:05She said you loved someone else.
01:07:08I don't understand.
01:07:09I love her.
01:07:10I think her memory gap is causing her to be a bit confused.
01:07:13Confused about what?
01:07:15About who Ava is.
01:07:19What?
01:07:20I'm not your side chick.
01:07:21We're sorry.
01:07:29Your call cannot be completed if dialed.
01:07:47What is it?
01:07:48Barnett Corp.
01:07:48is planning to pull our vendors list for the next quarter.
01:07:52So, if they do that, we'll lose half of our profits.
01:07:56I'll handle it.
01:08:13Hello.
01:08:15We need to talk.
01:08:21I know why you're doing this.
01:08:51You're trying to get all of our vendors to your list for the next quarter.
01:08:56That is going to cost us over half of our profit.
01:09:00Let alone...
01:09:01It's not illegal.
01:09:06I know why you're doing this.
01:09:09You're trying to use our business as leverage to sleep with me.
01:09:11Everyone get out.
01:09:18This isn't going to work.
01:09:20This isn't going to work, Calvina.
01:09:21This isn't going to work.
01:09:36This isn't going to work, Calvin.
01:09:38I need to explain something to you.
01:09:41Just...
01:09:42Let go of me!
01:09:45I've wasted too long looking for you.
01:09:48And I can't lose you again.
01:09:51Well then tell me, who is Ava?
01:09:53It's you!
01:09:56Look.
01:09:58Look.
01:10:00This is us.
01:10:02Our parents were business partners which led to us being friends.
01:10:06After an all-out bidding war against the black market, those scumbags sent men after us.
01:10:12And they captured us.
01:10:14You helped me escape, but you never made it out.
01:10:17I've been looking for you ever since.
01:10:19Well, I don't remember any of this.
01:10:23Why didn't you tell me?
01:10:24Because I made a promise to your dad.
01:10:26He didn't want you to relive those painful memories again.
01:10:28I feel so stupid.
01:10:42It's okay.
01:10:43I mean, you didn't know.
01:10:47I love you, Ava.
01:10:50I love you too.
01:10:51Okay.
01:11:02Okay.
01:11:03You can't be horny here.
01:11:05It's a place of business.
01:11:07Okay.
01:11:08I guess we do have the rest of our lives to spend time together.
01:11:11Sabrina, we've come up with an agreement, so can you please draft up a contract?
01:11:22Where are we going?
01:11:24We're getting married.
01:11:29You're not pressed yet?
01:11:52You just wait until we're finished.
01:11:57Mr. Barnett, I know you're home.
01:12:09Mr. Barnett, I know you're home.
01:12:12Mr. Barnett, Ms. Barnett is sending you a gift.
01:12:16Fuck.
01:12:21I wonder what your sister got us.
01:12:33A box of Viagra?
01:12:34Oh.
01:12:35I do not need these.
01:12:36Oh wait, there's a note.
01:12:38Something to help take the edge off my little virgin brother.
01:12:43Oh, you're a virgin.
01:12:46You're laughing now?
01:12:48She won't be laughing after I'm done with you.
01:12:50All years talk, but...
01:12:55Oh my God.
01:12:56What are you actual thought?
01:12:57Maybe it's a box of birth control.
01:12:59Who knows?
01:13:01Wait, I'll get the door.
01:13:03You're a little too excited down there, little boy.
01:13:15Avery!
01:13:16Why didn't you tell me you were living in such a big house now?
01:13:21What are you doing here?
01:13:22Ooh.
01:13:23Did we put a little bun in the oven?
01:13:24Just get out.
01:13:25Hmm.
01:13:26This must be more of a fortune.
01:13:27Okay, you can't be here.
01:13:28By the way, congratulations.
01:13:29Rightful heir to the porter, and daughter-in-law to the barnett.
01:13:32Hmm.
01:13:33Oh.
01:13:34Oh.
01:13:35Oh.
01:13:36Oh.
01:13:37Oh.
01:13:38Oh.
01:13:39Oh.
01:13:40Oh.
01:13:41Oh.
01:13:42Oh.
01:13:43Oh.
01:13:44Oh.
01:13:45Oh.
01:13:46Oh.
01:13:47Oh.
01:13:48Oh.
01:13:49Oh.
01:13:50Hmm.
01:13:51And if you turn me in, I'll have to tell the public how you kicked your mother to the curb.
01:13:57Well, you found Faye.
01:14:00Okay.
01:14:01I'm calling the cops.
01:14:02Wait.
01:14:03Maybe we do let her stay for a bit.
01:14:06Are you out of your mind?
01:14:10No.
01:14:11I have a plan.
01:14:14Fine.
01:14:18You can stay here.
01:14:20But I hope you rot in hell.
01:14:25I'll see you there.
01:14:33Hi, everyone.
01:14:35Now we're having fun.
01:14:36I'm Melissa Johnson, live from the Barnett Mansion.
01:14:40And I am here in front of a $1 million painting.
01:14:45A psychedelic trip, I would say.
01:14:50There are so many lavish goodies here.
01:14:53Just stay tuned with me.
01:14:55And I'll take you through the whole sexy place.
01:14:59Love you.
01:15:03Hey, what's on the menu tonight?
01:15:07Italian, ma'am.
01:15:09Italian?
01:15:10I'm not really into that.
01:15:12Let's do Z-food.
01:15:14I want it fresh from the market.
01:15:16But ma'am, we don't have enough time to get that ready by dinner.
01:15:20How dare you talk back to me?
01:15:22You know what?
01:15:23Forget the seafood.
01:15:25You're fired!
01:15:36Why did you fire the maid?
01:15:37Because she's useless.
01:15:39Why don't you clean the floor like a maid?
01:15:50If you don't, I'll tell the media about your poor mother.
01:15:55And the Barnett stock will drop to the bottom.
01:15:59Don't miss her, bot.
01:16:08You know what?
01:16:09Fuck you!
01:16:11You're a bitch!
01:16:12Let me serve Mrs. Johnson here.
01:16:21Okay.
01:16:21Sit down.
01:16:28We don't waste food here.
01:16:31Mm-hmm.
01:16:40Clean up your mess.
01:16:46Now, lick my shoe.
01:16:54Oh!
01:16:56Mm-hmm.
01:16:59Ew. You look stunning.
01:17:20Are you sure? There's a few others I haven't tried yet.
01:17:26Have the rest sent over to my place.
01:17:29I can't believe the rest sent over to my place.
01:17:36I can't believe the rest of my place.
01:17:39I'm not sure.
01:17:42I can't believe it.
01:17:46I can't believe it.
01:17:51I can't believe it.
01:17:56I love you.
01:18:01I love you too.
01:18:25Spotless.
01:18:26You hear me?
01:18:27Yes, ma'am.
01:18:44Ten million dollars, and I'm out of your life forever.
01:18:48You can stay and earn your worth, or you can leave and get nothing.
01:18:55The choice is yours.
01:18:56Miss Avery, I've investigated the case of you being framed and imprisoned.
01:19:07We will make them pay for this.
01:19:20Let me help you.
01:19:22Aiden, let's make the wedding announcement public.
01:19:25Why can't you just die, Avery?
