00:00:01For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.

00:00:05I helped him become a best-selling author.

00:00:08But while I wrote page after page, he betrayed me.

00:00:13He was having an affair with another woman.

00:00:15And how did I find out?

00:00:17A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.

00:00:20He humiliated me in front of the whole world.

00:00:2425 years of marriage.

00:00:27Gone. Just like that.

00:00:33Have fun at the Real Play concert.

00:00:35I wish I could join you.

00:00:37Especially since tonight's our anniversary.

00:00:39It's a work thing, honey.

00:00:42Besides, you don't even like their music.

00:00:45Oh, actually, I do like-

00:00:46Honey, I gotta go.

00:00:48Can't wait for dinner. Make me, uh, something delicious.

00:00:51Okay, honey.

00:00:57And, Jonathan's new book is a masterpiece.

00:01:09If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.

00:01:13The least he could do is give us some credit, right?

00:01:15Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.

00:01:17Plus, Jonathan's my husband.

00:01:19What's mine is his, and vice versa.

00:01:21I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over at CU.

00:01:24And why publishing is your family business?

00:01:26I'm just looking over it on your behalf.

00:01:28We'll talk about this later.

00:01:30Gotta run, Henry.

00:01:31Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.

00:01:33That's weird. The concert should be over by now.

00:01:49Don't you want to answer your wife's call?

00:01:55She's so annoying. She cannot go a single day without calling to blab about some unimportant shit.

00:02:03Hang on, baby.

00:02:05Yes, honey.

00:02:07I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon. Dinner's almost ready.

00:02:11Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.

00:02:15All right.

00:02:17When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?

00:02:22It has been years.

00:02:25I can't stand her body anymore.

00:02:27Especially now that I have someone like you.

00:02:30You better be telling the truth.

00:02:32Oh, I swear on my life.

00:02:34You are the only woman I know.

00:02:40Fuck!

00:02:42Okay, either they're having an affair or just really, really shy.

00:02:46Okay, baby, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna catch you later.

00:02:49Okay.

00:02:50But you better divorce her soon.

00:02:52I'm sick of this.

00:02:54Olivia, I need you to hurry home.

00:02:55I need you to cover me in front of mom in case something goes wrong.

00:02:57No, I'm gonna explain when I get home.

00:02:59Just hurry home.

00:03:03Hi, honey.

00:03:04You're back.

00:03:05And just in time, dinner's ready.

00:03:08How was the concert? Was it fun?

00:03:10No, not really. You know how these work things are.

00:03:12Mm-hmm.

00:03:13Well, maybe next time I should join you, then it'll be more fun.

00:03:16Oh, come on. Let me have your coat.

00:03:25Oh, Olivia called. She said she'll be back soon.

00:03:30Oh, my God, wait.

00:03:31That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.

00:03:34No way. Isn't he married? Who's he with?

00:03:38Oh, shit.

00:03:39Honey, did you hear me?

00:03:42Huh? What?

00:03:43I'm sorry, honey. What did you say?

00:03:45Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.

00:03:47Okay, that's great, honey.

00:03:48I'm sorry, honey.

00:04:09He may not have taken me to that Real Play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.

00:04:14I've chosen a good man to marry.

00:04:20Hey, Dad. It's the big silver anniversary today, right?

00:04:2425 years of marriage. Wow.

00:04:26Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?

00:04:30Yes, of course.

00:04:33Anne, my angel.

00:04:35Whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife.

00:04:41You're my whole life.

00:04:45Thank you, my love.

00:04:47Hurry up and open it, Mom.

00:04:57A pen.

00:04:59Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?

00:05:02I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.

00:05:06So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.

00:05:11Wow.

00:05:13Dad, you're such a romantic.

00:05:15I noticed you write the same acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne.

00:05:22Without you, none of this would be possible.

00:05:24You are my muse.

00:05:25Everyone writes acknowledgments is no big deal.

00:05:29What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.

00:05:36Price, insignificant.

00:05:38You better not learn that from my dad.

00:05:41Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's gonna be satisfied with a hotel pen and a love note.

00:05:48I'm a career woman.

00:05:49And career women appreciate investment pieces.

00:05:52What?

00:05:57What's wrong with your mother?

00:05:59She's just being dramatic.

00:06:01Look, after all, she's only a housewife.

00:06:05Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.

00:06:10Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your awards ceremony,

00:06:13I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.

00:06:16Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.

00:06:28No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.

00:06:30I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

00:06:34Anne, is it just me or does this look kind of like your husband?

00:06:37Is Jonathan cheating on me?

00:07:07Lillianne, my muse.

00:07:17Happy anniversary.

00:07:18Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.

00:07:21You deserve only the finest gold and gems to adorn your precious body.

00:07:26Lillianne.

00:07:29Lillianne.

00:07:31To my most beloved Anne.

00:07:34He was never talking about me.

00:07:36Who is this woman?

00:07:38How could you use the book that I wrote to proclaim your love for another woman?

00:07:50Oh, come on. What is wrong with you, woman?

00:07:52Is this the work you've been so busy with?

00:07:55Who the hell is Lillianne?

00:07:57Did you go through my things?

00:07:59This is an invasion of my privacy.

00:08:01Oh, you're really going to turn this back around on me

00:08:02when you are the one who brought evidence of your affair into our home?

00:08:05Lillianne and I are professional acquaintances.

00:08:08We discuss art and literature.

00:08:10Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.

00:08:14I shall ensure that only the finest gold and gems adorn your precious body.

00:08:19That is a literary reference, and that is something you would not understand.

00:08:22I suppose you're going to tell me that she finds it necessary to discuss your work dressed in lacy lingerie.

00:08:26You are.

00:08:28You are.

00:08:29And you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not going to just sit here and listen to your insane accusations.

00:08:35I'll be in my study.

00:08:36No.

00:08:39No, you don't.

00:08:40No, you don't.

00:08:41You are going to stand there.

00:08:42You are going to explain everything to me.

00:08:43Mom, calm down.

00:08:44This is all a big misunderstanding.

00:08:47Okay, Lillianne is a good person.

00:08:49Her and dad have a professional relationship.

00:08:52You know her?

00:08:53You're going to defend some other woman?

00:08:55Mom, Lillianne is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.

00:08:59Her and dad work together.

00:09:00It's her job.

00:09:01Look, I get it.

00:09:02You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.

00:09:05Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.

00:09:08Wait a second.

00:09:11How long have you known about them?

00:09:15Olivia, you're my daughter.

00:09:17I carried you inside of me for nine months.

00:09:19I gave up everything for you.

00:09:21And as thanks, you've been helping your father hide his affair from me.

00:09:24Let it go!

00:09:26Clearly, you watch too many soap operas and they filled your head with crazy ideas.

00:09:30My own baby calling me crazy.

00:09:35Is that what you think too?

00:09:37That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?

00:09:40That I would stir up trouble for no reason?

00:09:42Well, it does seem like that's what ruined our anniversary.

00:09:46So, darling, maybe you should stick to the housework.

00:09:51Let us deal with the thinking.

00:09:52Stick to the housework.

00:09:54As if I haven't given up 25 years of my life for the both of you.

00:09:58To keep you happy and healthy and fed.

00:10:01Did those pants fold themselves and jump on into your drawer?

00:10:04Did those shoes shine themselves?

00:10:07Three meals a day for 25 years!

00:10:11These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and filth.

00:10:17Every day you two come home and you kick up your feet just knowing everything will be cared for.

00:10:21That I have taken care of every little detail.

00:10:24But for me, for the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid!

00:10:33Have I ever gotten a break? Ever!

00:10:37So, first you're mad about some imaginary affair.

00:10:41Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.

00:10:47Your stay-at-home mom, Anne.

00:10:49A housewife.

00:10:50Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.

00:10:53That's the job!

00:10:54That's what you're supposed to do!

00:10:55What, you want us to give you a medal?

00:10:56You're right.

00:10:58I-I did choose this life.

00:11:00And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.

00:11:03So shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?

00:11:07At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage!

00:11:10One that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck!

00:11:14My God.

00:11:16How could you say something so hurtful?

00:11:19You want to embarrass yourself?

00:11:21In front of your daughter?

00:11:23Her husband?

00:11:25For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.

00:11:31While you have been sitting here, indulging in a life of luxury.

00:11:35You should be grateful.

00:11:36Between the two of us, who should really be grateful?

00:11:39Have you forgotten who helped take you from a nameless writer to a best-selling author?

00:11:45Mom, I think you need to calm down.

00:11:48Oh, I'm calm.

00:11:50Your father's the one who needs to watch himself.

00:11:52Are you threatening me?

00:11:54I'm reminding you.

00:11:56I'm the one who wrote all of those books.

00:12:01Were you gonna go out there?

00:12:02Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works?

00:12:04Who is gonna believe a housewife?

00:12:07Especially one that's gone mad, which you clearly have.

00:12:10I'll just show them my manuscripts.

00:12:12All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.

00:12:16The manuscripts.

00:12:17God, I bet that's something you keep locked up safe and sound, huh?

00:12:21God forbid something should happen to the manuscripts.

00:12:24You...

00:12:26No!

00:12:27No!

00:12:28No!

00:12:29No!

00:12:34No, no!

00:12:36No, no, no!

00:12:40You burned my沒gie scripts.

00:12:43I put twenty-five years of my heart into those!

00:12:46It wasn't dad, mom, it was me.

00:12:51And if you go and say anything, I'm gonna go and tell the press that you're a liar.

00:12:59Dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House.

00:13:04And if anything happens to his reputation, all of our contracts will be cancelled.

00:13:09And our entire family will take the hit.

00:13:12This was all about your father becoming CEO.

00:13:16Wake up, mom. This is the real world, not some soap opera.

00:13:20Why can't you just act like any other housewife and pretend it didn't happen?

00:13:25So why don't you just go and buy some clothes and get your fucking nails done?

00:13:30What are you trying to achieve by causing a scene like this?

00:13:38I want a divorce.

00:13:42I want a divorce.

00:13:45I don't want to be part of this traitorous family anymore.

00:13:48I'm drawing up the divorce papers.

00:13:51Soon you'll see who really provided for this family.

00:13:54Mom!

00:13:55Okay, let her go.

00:13:58Go ahead, see what the real world's all about.

00:14:01Two weeks time, she's gonna be back here begging me to take her back.

00:14:05Oh, I left some belongings in your suitcase.

00:14:11What do they look like?

00:14:12Ooh, they're red as flames.

00:14:17Soft to the touch.

00:14:19You need to hurry up over here and collect them.

00:14:22I'll only step foot in your house once I become your wife.

00:14:26You will be soon, honey.

00:14:28Have a little sneak preview in the meantime.

00:14:35Oh, my God.

00:14:37Baby, you look incredible.

00:14:39Years in advance for all that you promised me.

00:14:43Lily-Anne.

00:14:44My goddess.

00:14:45My muse.

00:14:46Miss Roy, Mr. Henry's office is over here.

00:14:59Babe, where'd you go?

00:15:01I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.

00:15:03Could she be trying to report our relationship?

00:15:04What?

00:15:06Anne!

00:15:07I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.

00:15:08Could she be trying to report our relationship?

00:15:11What?

00:15:12Anne!

00:15:13What?

00:15:14Babe, where'd you go?

00:15:17I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.

00:15:20Could she be trying to report our relationship?

00:15:23What?

00:15:26Hey, Ann.

00:15:28What a pleasant surprise.

00:15:30What's going on?

00:15:31Henry, I came here today to ask you to stay on as CEO.

00:15:34You've led this company to become what it is.

00:15:36There's no reason for you to leave.

00:15:38Yeah, but without your father's mentorship,

00:15:41I never would have come this far.

00:15:42I promised him that I would look after you.

00:15:45Roy is always meant to have been your company.

00:15:47Henry, I knew I could put my faith in you.

00:15:50Thank you, but now it's time to return to its rightful owner.

00:15:54Per your request, I was just getting ready to call Jonathan

00:15:57to talk to him about taking over as CEO.

00:16:02The other reason that I came here today

00:16:05was to tell you to revoke that offer.

00:16:07John and I are getting divorced.

00:16:09He's been cheating on me.

00:16:11For God knows how long.

00:16:14With another Ann.

00:16:15Lillianne.

00:16:16His real muse, apparently.

00:16:18I've been given him special treatment because of you.

00:16:22How dare he disrespect you?

00:16:24You know what?

00:16:26I'm going to fire that asshole right now.

00:16:28And that idiot Lillianne.

00:16:29Listen, Lillianne.

00:16:32Listen, Lillianne.

00:16:34Calm down.

00:16:36Fine.

00:16:38Listen, I don't want you to fire him.

00:16:40Why not?

00:16:43You still have feelings for him?

00:16:44We were married for 25 years.

00:16:46I mean, we've weathered so much together.

00:16:49Actually,

00:16:51Henry, go ahead and announce his position as CEO.

00:16:53But I will be adding one condition.

00:17:01This plan will hold control over him.

00:17:07Olivia, there's no need to be so nervous.

00:17:09Maybe your mom went to the CEO to beg for a job.

00:17:13No, she's definitely going to bring up the ghostwriting issue.

00:17:15Then dad's reputation is going to be ruined

00:17:17and my contracts are going to be canceled.

00:17:19If I have to drag her back here myself,

00:17:21I will.

00:17:23Darling, listen.

00:17:24Do not worry.

00:17:26Lily's keeping an eye on her.

00:17:27Now, if Anne tries to expose me,

00:17:29we are going to go to the press,

00:17:31tell them it was her having the affair.

00:17:34And now she's trying to slander my reputation

00:17:36and steal half my assets.

00:17:38Great idea, dad.

00:17:39That way, her public image will be ruined

00:17:41and nobody will believe mom.

00:17:43A housewife wants to bring me down.

00:17:47Anne,

00:17:47I am going to show you

00:17:49that the real world

00:17:50is not as simple as you think it is.

00:17:56Henry.

00:17:57Hmm?

00:17:58Am I being too harsh on them?

00:18:00Jonathan and I were together for so long.

00:18:02He must care about me still,

00:18:04even just a little bit, right?

00:18:05Are you getting cold feet?

00:18:07No, I am.

00:18:08If Jonathan were to

00:18:10have a change of heart

00:18:11and show me that he still cares,

00:18:14I might give him another chance.

00:18:16Anne, do not give in so easily.

00:18:18You've done everything for your family.

00:18:20But please, it's time

00:18:21that you put yourself first for once.

00:18:25Thanks, Henry.

00:18:27You're the best friend a girl could ask for.

00:18:29Actually, I'm the worst.

00:18:30I should have checked in on you

00:18:32a long time ago.

00:18:33I chose this life,

00:18:36so I need to face those consequences.

00:18:38Let's do like we talked about.

00:18:40Don't keep you updated.

00:18:42Okay.

00:18:44Anne, you're too nice.

00:18:46Mr. Harper,

00:18:53wasn't the woman who just left

00:18:55Mr. Asher's wife?

00:18:56Mrs. Villanova,

00:18:58isn't it still work hours?

00:19:00Go back and set up a meeting with HR.

00:19:02I'm going to be calling Jonathan Asher

00:19:03and giving him notice

00:19:04about his position in this company.

00:19:06Mr. Harper,

00:19:08Jonathan is our best-selling author.

00:19:11You can't destroy his career

00:19:12over some one-sided statement.

00:19:14What one-sided statement

00:19:16are you talking about?

00:19:17Hmm?

00:19:19I'm going to be calling him

00:19:20to tell him he'll be

00:19:21the next CEO of this company.

00:19:23Would you call that

00:19:24destroying his career?

00:19:27Oh, my God!

00:19:29What an incredibly wise decision.

00:19:34Why are you so happy about this?

00:19:36Are you and Mr. Asher that close?

00:19:39I...

00:19:40I'm a really big fan of his.

00:19:43So, naturally,

00:19:45I'm really happy for him.

00:19:48You don't even know

00:19:49the real author

00:19:50you're fangirling over is.

00:19:52I need you to hurry up

00:19:53and make that meeting with HR.

00:19:55I'm going to inform

00:19:56Jonathan personally.

00:20:03Hello, my darling.

00:20:04Johnny,

00:20:06I have amazing news.

00:20:08You're about to become

00:20:09the CEO.

00:20:14What did you just say?

00:20:16Roy Publishing House

00:20:18is hiring me

00:20:19as CEO!

00:20:21Yes!

00:20:22I'm absolutely sure.

00:20:23I'm about to prep

00:20:24your meeting with HR.

00:20:26Henry has

00:20:26full sleep in you.

00:20:28Anne's nonsense

00:20:29working one ear

00:20:30and out the other.

00:20:31I hope you still remember

00:20:36the promise you made.

00:20:38Once you become

00:20:38the CEO,

00:20:40then

00:20:40I'll become

00:20:41the new

00:20:42Mrs. Asher.

00:20:44Ah, yes.

00:20:45I never go back

00:20:46on my word,

00:20:47my darling.

00:20:47Well, then you better

00:20:48hurry up and

00:20:49clear our hands doors.

00:20:51Because I've got a lot

00:20:52of lingerie

00:20:53to put in them.

00:20:54Your wish

00:20:59is my command.

00:21:08Anne,

00:21:09everything's been prepared.

00:21:11I'll await your instructions.

00:21:13Thank you, Henry.

00:21:18Jonathan,

00:21:19we built this house

00:21:21together from the ground up.

00:21:22We've been through

00:21:24thick and thin

00:21:24together for 25 years.

00:21:26Do you really want

00:21:28to demolish it all?

00:21:30You said I was your life.

00:21:32But then,

00:21:33you turned around

00:21:34and embraced

00:21:35another woman.

00:21:37Was everything

00:21:38a lie?

00:21:40I'm willing to sacrifice

00:21:42everything for my family,

00:21:43but I will not

00:21:45tolerate betrayal.

00:21:47Today,

00:21:47I will tell you

00:21:48the whole truth.

00:21:50It will be your

00:21:51very last chance.

00:21:52what's the meaning

00:22:09of this?

00:22:14Jonathan?

00:22:15It's exactly

00:22:16what you wanted, Anne.

00:22:17We're getting a divorce.

00:22:19Are you sure about this?

00:22:30Oh,

00:22:31I've already

00:22:32signed the papers.

00:22:35So I was willing

00:22:36to try and save

00:22:37our marriage,

00:22:38but you've already

00:22:39written it off.

00:22:40Henry,

00:22:40go ahead and announce

00:22:41his position as CEO,

00:22:43but I will be adding

00:22:44one condition.

00:22:45I'll be taking over

00:22:46as chairwoman again.

00:22:48Therefore,

00:22:49any hiring that's done,

00:22:50such as CEO,

00:22:51will require my approval.

00:22:54Are you in such a hurry

00:22:55to kick me out?

00:22:58What a shame.

00:23:00I was thinking about

00:23:01giving you all

00:23:02a second chance.

00:23:03Oh, stop bluffing it.

00:23:04Your truth is,

00:23:05you could come in here,

00:23:05you could crawl,

00:23:07beg me.

00:23:08I'd never let you

00:23:09back in this house.

00:23:11Mom,

00:23:12it's one thing

00:23:12to throw a tantrum

00:23:13at home,

00:23:14but it's a different

00:23:15thing entirely

00:23:15to cause a scene

00:23:16at the company.

00:23:17Dad is a public figure.

00:23:19You almost destroyed

00:23:20his career,

00:23:21and you think

00:23:21he's going to be

00:23:22willing to reconcile?

00:23:24Exactly, Anne.

00:23:25You shouldn't have

00:23:26tried to expose

00:23:27Mr. Asher

00:23:28for using a ghostwriter.

00:23:30He might have let you

00:23:31stay and write

00:23:32more books for him.

00:23:35Jonathan,

00:23:36you know deep down

00:23:37inside that without me

00:23:38you will never

00:23:39write another word.

00:23:41Do you really think

00:23:43that I need to rely

00:23:44on writing for a living?

00:23:46Soon the entire

00:23:47company will be mine.

00:23:49So you really think

00:23:50that you'll be

00:23:50unstoppable once

00:23:51you're CEO?

00:23:52Is that why you're

00:23:53in such a hurry

00:23:54to get rid of me?

00:23:55The faithful wife

00:23:56who stood by your side

00:23:58through thick and thin

00:24:00and traded me in

00:24:01for some shiny new toy?

00:24:04What or who I play with

00:24:06is none of your business.

00:24:08I have kept a roof

00:24:09over your head

00:24:10for years.

00:24:11I can forgive

00:24:12your ungratefulness

00:24:13but I cannot

00:24:16forgive you

00:24:17stabbing me

00:24:17in the back

00:24:18during the most

00:24:19pivotal moment

00:24:19of my career.

00:24:21I mean how am I

00:24:21supposed to stay

00:24:22with such a vile

00:24:22woman by my side?

00:24:24What on earth

00:24:25are you talking about?

00:24:26I have never

00:24:27stabbed you

00:24:28in the back.

00:24:29Without me

00:24:30you would still

00:24:31be an unpublished

00:24:32wannabe

00:24:33and not the next

00:24:33CEO of Roy Publishing.

00:24:35Your storytelling

00:24:36skills have

00:24:37really gone down

00:24:39the drain.

00:24:39Mom you should

00:24:40really stop

00:24:41with the soap opera

00:24:42shit.

00:24:42Like what's next?

00:24:44You're gonna tell us

00:24:44you're a wealthy heiress?

00:24:46You need to stop

00:24:47saying this idiotic stuff

00:24:48or people are gonna

00:24:49think you're a joke.

00:24:50That's right.

00:24:53I'm a joke.

00:24:55A joke for being

00:24:57so blind.

00:24:58For choosing

00:24:59a selfish

00:25:00brood of a man

00:25:01to be my husband

00:25:02like him.

00:25:03For having a

00:25:04thankless daughter

00:25:05like you.

00:25:06For having a

00:25:07pushover for a

00:25:07son-in-law.

00:25:09You're right

00:25:09Olivia.

00:25:10How could I have

00:25:12spent 25 years

00:25:13of my life

00:25:13catering to you

00:25:14ungrateful liars?

00:25:17I must have

00:25:17been delusional.

00:25:18I'll sign

00:25:22the divorce papers.

00:25:24From now on

00:25:25I have no

00:25:25connection to

00:25:26this family.

00:25:40Wait.

00:25:44Whoa.

00:25:45What are you doing?

00:25:46You can't just

00:25:46get a divorce like that.

00:25:49This is a

00:25:50supplemental document.

00:25:52You must agree

00:25:53to its terms.

00:25:54Dad's assets

00:25:55aren't pocket change.

00:25:56You can't just

00:25:57take half.

00:25:58Especially since

00:25:59they'll eventually

00:25:59come to me.

00:26:01How can you

00:26:02be so cold?

00:26:05First you're

00:26:06kicking me out

00:26:06and now you want

00:26:07me to leave

00:26:07empty-handed?

00:26:09Olivia.

00:26:11You're my daughter.

00:26:13Don't you have

00:26:13any sympathy for me?

00:26:14I'm not like you,

00:26:16Mom.

00:26:16I'm a career woman.

00:26:18Don't take it

00:26:19personally.

00:26:19Don't take it

00:26:19personally.

00:26:20She always was

00:26:21too emotional.

00:26:23Why does everyone

00:26:24in this family

00:26:25look down on me?

00:26:27I've taken care of you

00:26:28wealth for 25 years.

00:26:29I've given you

00:26:30everything that I had.

00:26:31Mom, you didn't do

00:26:31shit for 25 years.

00:26:33So what?

00:26:34You cooked us

00:26:35a few meals?

00:26:36You didn't earn

00:26:37a single cent

00:26:38for this family.

00:26:39Dad was the one

00:26:41who consistently

00:26:43worked,

00:26:44enslaved,

00:26:44and earned

00:26:45every penny

00:26:46that was put

00:26:47into this house.

00:26:48Not you.

00:26:50Did you ever

00:26:51stop to think

00:26:52about why

00:26:53Roy Publishing House

00:26:54gave your father

00:26:54a chance?

00:26:56Why they groomed

00:26:57him for all

00:26:57of these years?

00:26:59Well, obviously.

00:27:00Because Dad

00:27:01is incredibly talented.

00:27:04Dad is about

00:27:05to become

00:27:05the CEO

00:27:06of Roy Publishing House.

00:27:08He'll have stocks

00:27:09worth tens

00:27:11of millions

00:27:12of dollars.

00:27:13And if he even

00:27:14gave half

00:27:15to a housewife

00:27:16like you,

00:27:18he may as well

00:27:19throw all that

00:27:20money in the fire.

00:27:29Jonathan,

00:27:30is this the way

00:27:31you feel too?

00:27:32That you earned

00:27:33everything for this

00:27:35family?

00:27:36I had nothing

00:27:37to do with it.

00:27:38I want to hear

00:27:39you say it

00:27:40yourself.

00:27:42You

00:27:42haven't contributed

00:27:45anything.

00:27:48I'll tell you

00:27:48what.

00:27:49I'll give you

00:27:50a little bit

00:27:50of alimony

00:27:50once you get

00:27:51the divorce out.

00:27:53But

00:27:53as far as

00:27:56what's in this

00:27:56house,

00:27:58you don't get

00:27:59anything.

00:28:05Oh my,

00:28:06what a generous

00:28:07offer.

00:28:10Roy Publishing House

00:28:11gave you

00:28:12everything.

00:28:14Made you a

00:28:15best-selling author.

00:28:16Gave you this

00:28:17huge house,

00:28:18a fancy car.

00:28:20And you're still

00:28:20saying that it had

00:28:21nothing to do

00:28:22with me.

00:28:25Fine,

00:28:25give me that paper.

00:28:28I'll sign

00:28:29whatever you

00:28:29want.

00:28:30Anne, I knew

00:28:51this would

00:28:52happen.

00:28:53I'll be there

00:28:53soon.

00:28:54Jonathan,

00:28:56Olivia,

00:28:57Ken,

00:28:57the way

00:28:58you've treated

00:28:58me today

00:28:59has destroyed

00:28:59any love

00:29:00that I still

00:29:01had left

00:29:01for this

00:29:01family.

00:29:02But you've

00:29:03also

00:29:03destroyed

00:29:05your futures.

00:29:07Oh,

00:29:08boo-hoo!

00:29:09Here you go

00:29:10again with

00:29:10the soap opera

00:29:11stuff.

00:29:13here.

00:29:13Hurry up

00:29:13and leave.

00:29:22Oh.

00:32:18That's

00:32:18right.

00:32:19Yeah.

00:32:20You're

00:32:20just a

00:32:20junior

00:32:21agent at

00:32:21Roy Publishing,

00:32:22aren't you?

00:32:22Are you

00:32:23even

00:32:23qualified to

00:32:24make this

00:32:24kind of

00:32:25announcement?

00:32:25Because I

00:32:26was under

00:32:26the impression

00:32:27that Henry

00:32:27Harper,

00:32:29the CEO,

00:32:30was the

00:32:31only one

00:32:31with that

00:32:31kind of

00:32:32authority.

00:32:32you stupid

00:32:34housewife.

00:32:35You don't

00:32:36understand what

00:32:38happens in

00:32:38the professional

00:32:38world.

00:32:39The CEO is a

00:32:41very busy

00:32:42man, and so

00:32:43I am entrusted

00:32:44to deliver this

00:32:46announcement.

00:32:47Did he really

00:32:49entrust you with

00:32:50this announcement?

00:32:51Well, then,

00:32:51why don't we just

00:32:53go ahead and give

00:32:54him a call to

00:32:54confirm?

00:32:55Mom, stop

00:33:03embarrassing

00:33:03yourself.

00:33:04Why would a

00:33:05housewife like

00:33:06you have the

00:33:06CEO's number?

00:33:08Roy Publishing

00:33:09House has tens

00:33:10of thousands of

00:33:11employees.

00:33:11Do you really

00:33:12expect the CEO to

00:33:13do everything

00:33:13himself?

00:33:15Sweet Lillianne is

00:33:16one of his top

00:33:17agents, and she

00:33:19absolutely has the

00:33:20authority to come

00:33:20here and notify

00:33:21us.

00:33:21I wasn't talking

00:33:23to you.

00:33:23You're just

00:33:25starting off.

00:33:26You only have a

00:33:26few clients,

00:33:27don't you, dear?

00:33:28What do you know

00:33:29about how an elite

00:33:29publishing company

00:33:30works?

00:33:31I know more than

00:33:32you do.

00:33:34What do you think

00:33:35real work is?

00:33:36Going out and

00:33:37buying groceries

00:33:38or doing the

00:33:38laundry?

00:33:40Please, just

00:33:41stop, Mom.

00:33:42You're embarrassing

00:33:42yourself.

00:33:43Be gentler to

00:33:44your mother,

00:33:45Olivia.

00:33:47Oh, and

00:33:48you know, I

00:33:49completely understand

00:33:50where you're

00:33:50coming from.

00:33:52You've been in

00:33:52the house for

00:33:53so long.

00:33:55Of course, you're

00:33:56a little ignorant.

00:33:58I really do take

00:34:00pity on you.

00:34:01But now it's time

00:34:03for someone more

00:34:04worthy to take

00:34:06over us to the

00:34:06house.

00:34:08I'm lucky to have

00:34:09found one.

00:34:12Dad, I'm so happy

00:34:14for you two.

00:34:15With your reputation

00:34:16and Lily's business

00:34:17acumen, you guys are

00:34:19a match made in

00:34:20heaven.

00:34:20Johnny, it's the

00:34:26CEO.

00:34:27You must be

00:34:28checking in to see

00:34:29if you've heard the

00:34:29good news yet.

00:34:31Hurry up, answer it.

00:34:32Yeah, and put it on

00:34:33speaker so someone can

00:34:35hear what the CEO

00:34:36really has to say.

00:34:39Hello, Mr. Harper?

00:34:41Yeah, I told you to

00:34:41convene and meet

00:34:42it with HR.

00:34:43Where the hell's

00:34:43going off to, you

00:34:44idiot?

00:34:44Hi, Mr. Harper, I'm

00:34:54at Mr. Asher's

00:34:54house.

00:34:55I told you to stop

00:34:56that meeting with HR.

00:34:57Did you skip out in

00:34:58work hours?

00:34:59Didn't you think to

00:35:00inform Mr. Asher?

00:35:01I told you I would

00:35:02personally inform him.

00:35:04You are just an agent.

00:35:07What right do you have

00:35:08doing my job for me?

00:35:10I'm sorry, Mr. Harper.

00:35:12I just thought I'd

00:35:13take the initiative.

00:35:14I'll be there soon.

00:35:16Stay right where you

00:35:16are.

00:35:17Uh, yes, sir.

00:35:26What's wrong?

00:35:29Yeah, the CEO

00:35:30didn't sound too happy.

00:35:33Nothing's wrong.

00:35:35I was just in such a

00:35:37rush to share the good

00:35:37news.

00:35:38I completely forgot

00:35:40that Mr. Harper

00:35:42actually wanted to

00:35:43personally tell you.

00:35:45So he's actually on

00:35:46his way now.

00:35:46Whoa, whoa.

00:35:48The CEO is

00:35:49personally coming to

00:35:50my house to announce

00:35:51me as his successor?

00:35:53But it's like I said,

00:35:55you didn't have that

00:35:56authority.

00:35:57If the CEO is

00:35:58coming here to

00:35:59congratulate Dad

00:36:00personally, I think

00:36:02he respects him.

00:36:03Of course he does.

00:36:05Your father is a

00:36:06best-selling author

00:36:07leader and renowned

00:36:08in the industry.

00:36:10It's only fitting that

00:36:11he succeeds as the next

00:36:12CEO.

00:36:14Oh, my, my, my.

00:36:17I think you're all

00:36:18mistaken.

00:36:19You see, the CEO is

00:36:21only coming here because

00:36:22the chairwoman asked him

00:36:24to.

00:36:25Jonathan's appointment as

00:36:26CEO?

00:36:27Well, ultimately, that

00:36:28decision lies with her.

00:36:31What chairwoman?

00:36:32Lily, does Roy Publishing

00:36:35House even have a

00:36:36chairwoman?

00:36:37Not that I know of.

00:36:39Well, who is she?

00:36:42Like she even knows.

00:36:44Oh, but I do.

00:36:46The chairwoman of Roy

00:36:48Publishing is me.

00:37:02Drop the act, Mom.

00:37:08Like, do you even know

00:37:09what a chairwoman does?

00:37:11She probably asked

00:37:12ChatGPT.

00:37:15Anne, please, you've

00:37:16got to stop flaunting

00:37:17your ignorance.

00:37:18When we were younger,

00:37:19we called it naivete.

00:37:20But now that you're old

00:37:21and washed up and

00:37:22haggard, it's just

00:37:23plain foolishness.

00:37:26She probably read so

00:37:28many trashy novels, she

00:37:29can't even keep up with

00:37:30reality anymore.

00:37:31She's stuck in her own

00:37:33fantasy world.

00:37:35That's what it is.

00:37:36She's delusional.

00:37:38Okay, yeah, I can

00:37:40play along with that.

00:37:44Greetings, chairwoman

00:37:45Anne.

00:37:51They're laughing at me

00:37:52now, but soon they'll

00:37:54see.

00:38:01Oh, pardon me, chairwoman

00:38:14Anne.

00:38:15Are you going to reject

00:38:16my appointment as CEO?

00:38:18Are you going to strip me

00:38:19of everything I've ever

00:38:20earned?

00:38:21Are you going to kick me

00:38:22out of Roy Publishing

00:38:24Group?

00:38:24Yes, chairwoman Anne, are

00:38:32you going to blacklist me

00:38:33from the publishing world

00:38:34and shudder my company?

00:38:37Are you going to make your

00:38:38ungrateful daughter regret

00:38:40everything?

00:38:42Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:38:43Maybe Anne wants to be

00:38:45treated like a queen.

00:38:46Ooh.

00:38:47In which case, I will be

00:38:50your butler and we'll be

00:38:52your maid and let us

00:38:55atone for our sins.

00:38:57Oh, and well, what

00:39:00about me?

00:39:01What would you like me to

00:39:03do?

00:39:03Go ahead and laugh.

00:39:05The CEO will be here

00:39:07soon.

00:39:08He'll confirm whether or

00:39:09not I'm telling the truth.

00:39:10All right, that's enough.

00:39:12Playtime's over.

00:39:14Now get the hell out of

00:39:15here or I'm going to

00:39:16remove you myself.

00:39:20Stop!

00:39:20Henry, you old son of a

00:39:29gun.

00:39:30You didn't tell me you're

00:39:30coming over here.

00:39:33My daughter, Olivia, her

00:39:35husband, Kenneth.

00:39:36And who is that woman over

00:39:37there on your floor?

00:39:39Oh, that is my ex.

00:39:41A silly woman.

00:39:42In fact, we were just

00:39:42getting rid of her because

00:39:43she was trying to tarnish my

00:39:44reputation, let alone

00:39:45Roy Publishing House.

00:39:47Kicking her out?

00:39:48The whole family decided

00:39:49we support my father.

00:39:51And we won't let anyone

00:39:52tarnish his good name,

00:39:54related or not.

00:39:55That sounds like personal

00:40:04business to me.

00:40:05I'm here to talk strictly

00:40:07about company business, so

00:40:09let's stay focused on that.

00:40:11Yes.

00:40:12Great idea, Henry.

00:40:14Let's talk business.

00:40:15No wonder you're the leader

00:40:16of the company, Mr. Harper.

00:40:18Always cut it to the chase.

00:40:19Jonathan, as CEO of Roy Publishing

00:40:23House, I've decided to step

00:40:25down.

00:40:25I will now make my formal

00:40:27succession announcement.

00:40:31I, Henry Harper, due to

00:40:33personal circumstances, stepped

00:40:35down as CEO of Roy Publishing

00:40:37Company.

00:40:38If you are willing to secede me

00:40:40for this position, Mr. Asher,

00:40:42I'll need you to sign these

00:40:43documents.

00:40:44Oh, Henry.

00:40:48My friend.

00:40:52Thank you for trusting me.

00:40:56Congrats, Dad.

00:41:02Johnny, the moment we've been

00:41:04waiting for is finally here.

00:41:06Thank you for coming over so

00:41:08quickly and for shedding some

00:41:09light on the truth.

00:41:10Just now, someone was spreading

00:41:14a rumor that you don't have

00:41:16the ultimate decision-making

00:41:18power and that they made up

00:41:19some ridiculous chairwoman

00:41:21position.

00:41:22Such a trashy rumor.

00:41:25In all my years at the

00:41:26company, you are the only one

00:41:28with the absolute authority.

00:41:31I mean, have we ever had a

00:41:33chairwoman?

00:41:3725 years ago, the chairwoman

00:41:39stepped down from her position

00:41:41and gave me full authority to

00:41:43this whole company.

00:41:45Did you hear that, Mom?

00:41:46This is real life, not some

00:41:48soap opera.

00:41:49Miss chairwoman, it's time to

00:41:50wake up, honey.

00:41:53Stop laughing.

00:41:59Johnny, we need to be the

00:42:01perfect hosts to Mr. Harper

00:42:03and get our unwelcome guest out.

00:42:06Yes, darling, you are correct.

00:42:09Mr. Harper, forgive us for this

00:42:11unsightly mess.

00:42:12Ken, Olivia, get her out of here.

00:42:14Mom, you need to leave.

00:42:20Step away from her.

00:42:21I am not done speaking.

00:42:2525 years ago, when I took over

00:42:27this company, there was no active

00:42:29chairwoman.

00:42:30But as of today, as of right now,

00:42:32I am reinstating the chairwoman

00:42:34who have total control over the

00:42:36Roy Publishing House Company.

00:42:38And you must all obey that

00:42:40chairwoman's orders, including

00:42:42the CEO.

00:42:43Henry, I don't understand.

00:42:50Why the change of plans?

00:42:51Where did this new chairwoman

00:42:53come from?

00:42:53I haven't heard a thing about her.

00:42:55Unless...

00:42:56No.

00:43:04That's impossible.

00:43:07But there's no way.

00:43:09But this is a joke.

00:43:10A terrible one at that.

00:43:12Going by the looks on your faces,

00:43:14you've already guessed who it is.

00:43:17That's right.

00:43:18Miss Anne Roy will be reinstated

00:43:20as the chairwoman of this company.

00:43:22Madam chairwoman.

00:43:35Welcome back, chairwoman.

00:43:42Anne isn't qualified for this...

00:43:44Wait, Anne is completely

00:43:45unqualified for this position.

00:43:47Is Roy Publishing a joke?

00:43:49Are you telling me that the woman

00:43:51that was baking pies

00:43:53in the kitchen yesterday

00:43:54is a chairwoman of a company

00:43:56worth billions?

00:43:58Oh my God, this cannot be true.

00:44:00No.

00:44:01Mr. Harper, there must be a mistake.

00:44:04She's just a housewife

00:44:05who cooks and cleans all day.

00:44:07She'll ruin the company.

00:44:09Silence.

00:44:10The Roy family owns

00:44:12Roy Publishing Company.

00:44:13And it's only natural that Anne,

00:44:15the sole heiress to the company,

00:44:18become the chairwoman.

00:44:19None of you have any right

00:44:21to question her.

00:44:22What?

00:44:31Wait.

00:44:32My wife of 25 years,

00:44:35the woman who cooked

00:44:36and cleaned for me,

00:44:38is the sole heiress

00:44:40of the Roy family fortune?

00:44:42Jonathan,

00:44:43I told you you'd live

00:44:45to regret the way

00:44:46you treated me today.

00:44:50Mom, how could you hide

00:44:51this from us for so long?

00:44:53We're your own flesh and blood!

00:44:55Were you afraid

00:44:56of splitting your assets with us?

00:45:02Don't use your twisted logic

00:45:04to put words in my mouth.

00:45:05The only reason I hid my identity

00:45:07was to protect

00:45:08your father's fragile ego.

00:45:09Jonathan,

00:45:11when I first met you,

00:45:13you were just a nameless,

00:45:14aspiring writer.

00:45:15But I fell in love

00:45:16with your passion.

00:45:17We built this life together.

00:45:19I supported you

00:45:20from the sidelines

00:45:21every step of the way

00:45:22and helped you reach

00:45:23the position you're in now.

00:45:25I look forward to the day

00:45:26when I could tell you

00:45:28my true identity,

00:45:29when you would finally

00:45:30become the CEO.

00:45:31I never thought

00:45:33that you could be

00:45:34so cruel

00:45:35to the loyal,

00:45:38loving wife

00:45:38who stayed by your side

00:45:39and made you

00:45:40into what you are.

00:45:42It took me

00:45:4325 years

00:45:44to see your true nature.

00:45:46I feel like a fool.

00:45:48But I see it now.

00:45:50Henry.

00:45:52Yes,

00:45:52Chairwoman Roy.

00:45:53What would you like me to do?

00:45:58Give them their wish.

00:46:00From this day forward,

00:46:02I will have no connection

00:46:03to the Ashers.

00:46:05Our relationships

00:46:06will remain

00:46:06strictly business.

00:46:08Jonathan,

00:46:09I hereby rescind

00:46:11your position

00:46:12as CEO

00:46:12to Roy Publishing House.

00:46:15It cannot be led

00:46:15by a fraud.

00:46:17Furthermore,

00:46:17this company

00:46:18is cancelling

00:46:18all contracts with you.

00:46:21Your book contracts

00:46:22cancelled.

00:46:23Your advances

00:46:24rescinded.

00:46:25We expect

00:46:26full repayment.

00:46:28Lillianne,

00:46:29your depraved morals

00:46:30do not align

00:46:31with our company values.

00:46:32You built your career

00:46:33by seducing a married man.

00:46:35You're fired.

00:46:37In addition,

00:46:38my personal evaluation

00:46:39will be circulated

00:46:40throughout the industry.

00:46:41You

00:46:41will never work

00:46:43in publishing again.

00:46:53Olivia.

00:46:54Mom,

00:46:55I'm your daughter.

00:46:58From now on,

00:46:59you are not allowed

00:47:00to use Roy Publishing House's

00:47:02name for personal gain.

00:47:04If you try to leverage

00:47:06our relationship

00:47:06for future contracts,

00:47:08I will bury

00:47:09your company

00:47:09in lawsuits.

00:47:10Mom,

00:47:11if you cut me off,

00:47:11I'll go bankrupt

00:47:12within the year.

00:47:13Do you really want

00:47:15to ruin

00:47:15your only daughter?

00:47:17Please,

00:47:17Anne,

00:47:18Olivia is your flesh and blood.

00:47:20Why are you treating her

00:47:20like this?

00:47:21If she wasn't my daughter,

00:47:22I would have sued her already.

00:47:24Instead,

00:47:25I am generously

00:47:26giving her the opportunity

00:47:27to prove

00:47:28that she is the

00:47:29self-made businesswoman

00:47:31she proclaims to be.

00:47:33Olivia,

00:47:34I took care of you

00:47:35for 25 years.

00:47:36I'm not going to spoil

00:47:37you any longer.

00:47:39Mom,

00:47:39you're gonna ruin us!

00:47:41Dad!

00:47:42Don't stand there!

00:47:43Fix it!

00:47:44Johnny,

00:47:45you have to tell her!

00:47:47We only had

00:47:48a professional relationship.

00:47:49Please tell her

00:47:50to have mercy on me!

00:47:55Anne.

00:47:55Don't tell me

00:47:56you have the audacity

00:47:57to keep defending

00:47:58your mistress.

00:47:59What?

00:48:01I'm...

00:48:01I won't plead

00:48:03on their behalf,

00:48:04but...

00:48:04Anne,

00:48:05I'm just hurt

00:48:07that our family

00:48:07has come to this.

00:48:08If you had told the truth,

00:48:09it never would have

00:48:10gotten to this point.

00:48:11I just wanted

00:48:12to grow old with you.

00:48:13I just want to

00:48:13live my life with you.

00:48:15You can take

00:48:15your fake feelings

00:48:16and shove them.

00:48:17this faithful

00:48:19husband act,

00:48:20it disgusts me.

00:48:23Did you forget

00:48:24about this little

00:48:25thing that you did?

00:48:26Hmm?

00:48:33How about these?

00:48:35Hmm?

00:48:35Did you forget

00:48:36about these?

00:48:37How dare you say

00:48:44you love me

00:48:45with the same mouth

00:48:46that kisses

00:48:46your mistress?

00:48:47Even thinking

00:48:48about growing old

00:48:50with someone like you

00:48:51makes me sick.

00:48:53I'll say it

00:48:54one last time.

00:48:56From this day forward,

00:48:58this family and I

00:49:00are through.

00:49:02Anne.

00:49:02Oh.

00:49:03This is Asher.

00:49:04From now on,

00:49:05you will refer to me

00:49:06as chairwoman

00:49:07or Miss Roy.

00:49:09I'm done for.

00:49:36My career in the publishing

00:49:37industry is completely ruined.

00:49:38Look, baby, just...

00:49:41Jonathan!

00:49:42We are completely

00:49:44out of money

00:49:45and our careers.

00:49:48What are we going to do?

00:49:51Dad, you have to help me!

00:49:53All of my contracts

00:49:53have been canceled!

00:49:55The debt collectors

00:49:55are already banging

00:49:56down my door!

00:50:00Dad!

00:50:01What are we going to do?

00:50:02Hurry up and think

00:50:03of something!

00:50:04Stop!

00:50:12It's all right.

00:50:13Let him speak.

00:50:18Anne,

00:50:18we have been family

00:50:19for a long time.

00:50:22How can you be so cruel

00:50:23to us?

00:50:24What are we going to do?

00:50:24Lillian and I,

00:50:29we are co-workers.

00:50:30We have flirted

00:50:30a little bit.

00:50:31That is it.

00:50:32Olivia is your daughter.

00:50:34You birthed her.

00:50:36What, you're just

00:50:36going to push us aside

00:50:37for some silly misunderstanding?

00:50:39How can you live

00:50:40with yourself?

00:50:41How dare you put

00:50:41blame on Anne?

00:50:43She sacrificed years

00:50:44of her life

00:50:44taking care of you.

00:50:46Now your little

00:50:46mistress and daughter

00:50:47are trying to make a plan

00:50:48to kick her out

00:50:49of the life she built?

00:50:49Don't you have

00:50:51any conscience?

00:50:54I promise you

00:50:56that if you do

00:50:56anything to hurt Anne,

00:50:58I will make sure

00:51:00that you pay.

00:51:02Understand?

00:51:05Now,

00:51:06don't worry.

00:51:08I've got to make sure

00:51:09the publishing house

00:51:10is going to drop you.

00:51:11And if you,

00:51:12the people here,

00:51:13want to cause

00:51:13any more disturbances,

00:51:14I'll be forced

00:51:15to call security.

00:51:16We're already leaving.

00:51:22We're already leaving.

00:51:22here.

00:51:47Here.

00:51:52Henry,

00:51:52did I go too far?

00:51:59Anne,

00:51:59you've done

00:52:00everything for them.

00:52:01It's them

00:52:02who let you down.

00:52:11Anne,

00:52:13to get rid

00:52:14of Jonathan's influence,

00:52:15I think we should

00:52:16have a board meeting

00:52:17to announce

00:52:18your return.

00:52:19I agree.

00:52:19And then you need

00:52:20to go public

00:52:20and let them know

00:52:21that you were

00:52:21his ghostwriter

00:52:22and get your

00:52:24copyrights back.

00:52:27Let me think about it.

00:52:29Well,

00:52:29the Novo Foundation

00:52:30already called

00:52:30and they said

00:52:31he's the frontrunner

00:52:31to win this year.

00:52:32We cannot let him

00:52:33keep making money

00:52:34off false pretenses.

00:52:35It's time to take

00:52:36back what's yours.

00:52:37Henry,

00:52:37I said just

00:52:39give me some time

00:52:40to think.

00:52:41Anne,

00:52:41you're too nice.

00:52:43You might give in again,

00:52:44but Jonathan won't.

00:52:45What kind of a psychopath

00:52:51hides their identity

00:52:52for decades?

00:52:53You know what?

00:52:54I bet she did this

00:52:55just so she doesn't

00:52:56have to share

00:52:57her assets with us.

00:52:58She was just

00:52:58a boring housewife

00:52:59mopping floors yesterday,

00:53:01but now she's

00:53:01the chairwoman

00:53:02of a top publishing company?

00:53:04This must be a joke.

00:53:05Oh, God.

00:53:12Hold your horses.

00:53:13We can still

00:53:14turn this around.

00:53:15Anne is just

00:53:16a housewife.

00:53:18She's got no experience.

00:53:19There's no way

00:53:20she can handle

00:53:20the position of chairwoman.

00:53:22Surely the company

00:53:23must be falling apart

00:53:24by now.

00:53:25What are you planning?

00:53:30Will

00:53:30have received

00:53:33an invitation

00:53:34from the Nobel Prize

00:53:36Foundation.

00:53:39You two are looking

00:53:41at the future winner

00:53:42of a Nobel Prize

00:53:44in literature.

00:53:45And when I take the stage

00:53:47and give my acceptance speech,

00:53:49I am going to announce

00:53:50that Anne and Henry

00:53:52are having a scandalous affair.

00:53:55And when their reputations

00:53:56are completely destroyed

00:53:57and the company's

00:53:58stocks crash,

00:53:59the board members

00:54:01are going to be

00:54:02begging me.

00:54:04to take over.

00:54:14Anne,

00:54:15your decision

00:54:16to reverse

00:54:17Jonathan's appointment

00:54:18to CEO

00:54:19has already

00:54:20affected

00:54:20this company's

00:54:22stocks.

00:54:23We understand

00:54:24the Roy family

00:54:25holds the majority

00:54:26of shares,

00:54:27but you're still

00:54:28responsible

00:54:29for the rest

00:54:30of the shareholders.

00:54:31we members

00:54:33of the board

00:54:33wish for you

00:54:36to resign

00:54:37as

00:54:37chairwoman.

00:54:40You're trying to fire Anne?

00:54:42Is this because

00:54:42of Jonathan's meddling?

00:54:44Disgusting little man.

00:54:45The revenue

00:54:46from Mr. Asher's books

00:54:48accounts for about

00:54:4940%

00:54:50of this

00:54:51company's profits.

00:54:53Additionally,

00:54:53since he is poised

00:54:55to win

00:54:55the Nobel Prize,

00:54:57his market value

00:54:58is about to skyrocket

00:55:00soon.

00:55:01We cannot lose

00:55:02a cash cow

00:55:03like

00:55:04Jonathan Asher.

00:55:06Ms. Roy

00:55:07must make up

00:55:08for this loss.

00:55:14I'll take back

00:55:15the copyrights.

00:55:15How is that possible?

00:55:22Who in their right mind

00:55:24would ever hand over

00:55:25a golden egg

00:55:26to their ex-wife?

00:55:32I am more than

00:55:33just Jonathan's

00:55:34ex-wife.

00:55:35I am Anne Roy.

00:55:37I have achieved

00:55:38everything that I've

00:55:39ever set my mind to,

00:55:40and I have done so

00:55:41without relying on

00:55:42Jonathan for a single

00:55:43penny.

00:55:43I admire

00:55:46your courage,

00:55:48but

00:55:48our trust

00:55:49comes with

00:55:51a price.

00:55:54Okay.

00:56:00Sign this agreement

00:56:02stating that

00:56:03if you do not

00:56:04get back

00:56:05the copyrights,

00:56:07all of

00:56:08your stock

00:56:09holdings

00:56:09will be turned

00:56:10over to us.

00:56:13Anne,

00:56:15you can't do that.

00:56:16I, Anne Roy,

00:56:37hereby agree

00:56:38to the terms

00:56:38of this agreement.

00:56:40In 24 hours,

00:56:41I will take back

00:56:42the copyrights.

00:56:43If I cannot,

00:56:44I shall willingly

00:56:45forfeit the entirety

00:56:46of my shares.

00:56:57It's a deal.

00:57:01We look forward

00:57:02to the results.

00:57:02man,

00:57:12that was foolish.

00:57:14Jonathan's

00:57:14an egotistical

00:57:15little man.

00:57:17He'll stop at nothing

00:57:17to save his reputation.

00:57:19He's never going to

00:57:19admit that you

00:57:20were his ghostwriter.

00:57:21How are you going

00:57:22to get those

00:57:22copyrights back?

00:57:24I have the evidence

00:57:25in my possession.

00:57:26And also,

00:57:27I have a backup plan.

00:57:29That's where you come in.

00:57:30tomorrow is the

00:57:32Nobel Prize Award

00:57:33ceremony.

00:57:34I'll show Jonathan

00:57:35what a real regret

00:57:36looks like.

00:57:46I'm waiting

00:57:46on the lab results.

00:57:49I'll be waiting

00:57:50to hear from you.

00:58:00Jonathan Asher?

00:58:25Jonathan Asher?

00:58:27I knew it was you.

00:58:31Congratulations

00:58:31to the winner

00:58:32of the Nobel Prize

00:58:33in Literature,

00:58:34Jonathan Asher.

00:58:35Well, thank you,

00:58:36but the award

00:58:37hasn't been assigned

00:58:38quite yet.

00:58:38I'm still just a nominee.

00:58:39Darling,

00:58:40nobody's more deserving

00:58:41of the award

00:58:42than you.

00:58:45Oh, my God.

00:58:48Dad,

00:58:48did you propose

00:58:49already?

00:58:49Congratulations,

00:58:56Mr. Asher.

00:58:57I see you wasted

00:58:57no time.

00:58:59I'm overjoyed

00:59:01to be marrying

00:59:01Jonathan,

00:59:02but spending

00:59:03a million dollars

00:59:04on her ring

00:59:04is a little over

00:59:05the top,

00:59:05don't you think?

00:59:07Nothing.

00:59:08In my humble opinion,

00:59:09only a woman

00:59:10as beautiful as

00:59:11Lillianne

00:59:11is worthy

00:59:12of an author

00:59:13as talented

00:59:13as you,

00:59:14Jonathan.

00:59:16You two really

00:59:17make a beautiful

00:59:18couple.

00:59:18By the way,

00:59:20I heard you

00:59:21separated from

00:59:21Roy Publishing.

00:59:22Maybe in the future

00:59:23we could work together?

00:59:25You can speak to me

00:59:26about any future

00:59:26book deals.

00:59:28I'm also

00:59:29Jonathan's agent.

01:00:36crazy.

01:00:37I have to see

01:00:37what it happens.

01:00:47Excuse me.

01:00:51Jonathan Asher

01:00:53is a fraud.

01:01:01Who is this woman?

01:01:05What kind of person

01:01:05causes a scene

01:01:06as such a

01:01:07prestigious

01:01:07event?

01:01:08Oh, my God.

01:01:10I know her.

01:01:11That's Jonathan's

01:01:12ex-wife.

01:01:16Mom,

01:01:17what are you

01:01:17doing here?

01:01:18This is the

01:01:19Nobel Prize

01:01:19awards ceremony.

01:01:21I'm warning you,

01:01:22don't start

01:01:23anything.

01:01:24Naturally,

01:01:25I'm here at

01:01:25this awards ceremony

01:01:26in my role

01:01:27as chairwoman

01:01:28of Roy Publishing.

01:01:30Ah,

01:01:31I know

01:01:32what she's doing.

01:01:33Jonathan,

01:01:34she got all

01:01:35dressed up

01:01:35so she could

01:01:36barge in here

01:01:36to this event

01:01:37and beg

01:01:39for you to

01:01:39take her back.

01:01:42In all honesty,

01:01:44a spatula

01:01:45and an apron

01:01:45better suits you.

01:01:47And if she thinks

01:01:48she can compete

01:01:50with a stunner

01:01:51like you,

01:01:52who would I know?

01:01:54She's

01:01:54sorely mistaken.

01:01:58Babe,

01:01:58you are

01:01:59too sweet.

01:02:04Oh,

01:02:04in case

01:02:05you haven't

01:02:05heard,

01:02:06you're

01:02:06husband.

01:02:09Oh no,

01:02:10your ex-husband

01:02:11has already

01:02:12proposed to me.

01:02:15Just days ago,

01:02:17you were begging

01:02:17to grow old

01:02:18with me

01:02:18and now

01:02:19you've already

01:02:19proposed

01:02:20to another woman?

01:02:21Talk about

01:02:22jumping the gun.

01:02:23Now that I'm

01:02:23free of you,

01:02:24you filthy

01:02:25gold digger,

01:02:26I've decided

01:02:27to move on

01:02:28with my life.

01:02:29Start a new one.

01:02:30on our first day

01:02:32officially together,

01:02:34he gave me

01:02:35this million-dollar

01:02:36diamond ring.

01:02:38What did you get?

01:02:39After 25 years?

01:02:41Hmm?

01:02:42Not a plastic hotel pen?

01:02:47Go ahead and laugh.

01:02:49Once I take back

01:02:50everything that belongs

01:02:51to me,

01:02:52you won't be laughing

01:02:52anymore.

01:02:56Babe,

01:02:57you have nothing

01:02:58that belongs to you

01:02:59anymore.

01:03:00Your husband,

01:03:01your child,

01:03:03the home that you put

01:03:04your whole life

01:03:05and soul into,

01:03:07it's all mine.

01:03:09everything that belongs

01:03:11to you?

01:03:13Oh,

01:03:13come on,

01:03:14Anne.

01:03:14Good luck with that.

01:03:16We don't owe you

01:03:17anything.

01:03:19Dad is a

01:03:20Nobel Prize

01:03:21laureate now.

01:03:23Bet you're having

01:03:23some regrets,

01:03:24Mom.

01:03:25But it's too late.

01:03:26Even without you,

01:03:28Mr. Asher's

01:03:29reputation

01:03:29will let us

01:03:30dominate

01:03:31the publishing world.

01:03:33Are you sure

01:03:35about that?

01:03:36Don't try to

01:03:37bluff, Mom.

01:03:38Everyone knows

01:03:39Dad is the

01:03:39true pillar

01:03:40of Roy Publishing

01:03:41House.

01:03:42Ever since you

01:03:42kicked out

01:03:42your biggest

01:03:43author,

01:03:44now you're

01:03:44going to be

01:03:44the laughingstock

01:03:45of the entire

01:03:46publishing world.

01:03:48Miss Roy,

01:03:48you really

01:03:49shouldn't have

01:03:49gone against us.

01:03:50Your biggest

01:03:51mistake was

01:03:52believing you

01:03:53were more than

01:03:53just a

01:03:54sheltered

01:03:55housewife.

01:03:58So because

01:03:59I was a

01:03:59housewife,

01:04:00you all think

01:04:00it's okay to

01:04:01humiliate me?

01:04:03I mean,

01:04:04look around,

01:04:04Mom.

01:04:05Everyone's here

01:04:06because they

01:04:07believe in Dad.

01:04:08his reputation,

01:04:10his prestige.

01:04:12They all

01:04:13just want to

01:04:13revel in his

01:04:14success.

01:04:16You know

01:04:17the company

01:04:18can't survive

01:04:19without him.

01:04:21So you're

01:04:22all here

01:04:23to grab a

01:04:24piece of

01:04:25Jonathan Asher's

01:04:26glorious reputation.

01:04:28Well,

01:04:29there's just

01:04:29one little

01:04:30problem.

01:04:31It's all

01:04:31fake.

01:04:32What does

01:04:38she mean

01:04:39by that?

01:04:39Oh,

01:04:40she's a

01:04:41lonely,

01:04:42vengeful

01:04:43ex-wife

01:04:44trying to

01:04:44bleed her

01:04:45ex-husband

01:04:45dry.

01:04:47How pathetic.

01:04:50I'm guessing

01:04:51that she neglected

01:04:51her husband

01:04:52during their

01:04:52marriage.

01:04:53And now

01:04:54that she's

01:04:55tossed aside,

01:04:55she's finally

01:04:56regretting it.

01:04:57What an

01:04:58ignorant woman.

01:04:58Jonathan,

01:05:02did you

01:05:03forget how

01:05:04your books

01:05:04were actually

01:05:05written?

01:05:06The

01:05:06acknowledgements

01:05:07you wrote

01:05:07at the front?

01:05:08The

01:05:08acknowledgements

01:05:09were written

01:05:10for me.

01:05:11I'm

01:05:11Jonathan's

01:05:12real muse.

01:05:14After he

01:05:15ditched his

01:05:16basic or

01:05:17in-house

01:05:17wife like

01:11:08take it

01:11:08easy on you.

01:11:17You

01:11:17disgust

01:11:18me.

01:11:21Acclaimed

01:11:21guests,

01:11:22I came

01:11:23here today

01:11:23to expose

01:11:24a dirty

01:11:25lie.

01:11:25All of

01:11:26Jonathan

01:11:27Asher's

01:11:27novels were

01:11:28actually

01:11:28written by

01:11:30me.

01:11:33I, his

01:11:34wife of

01:11:3425 years,

01:11:35am the

01:11:35true author

01:11:36of all of

01:11:37his books.

01:11:39This

01:11:40woman is

01:11:42crazy.

01:11:43Ever

01:11:43since I

01:11:44divorced her,

01:11:45she's been

01:11:45having a

01:11:46mental breakdown.

01:11:47She is

01:11:47hallucinating

01:11:49that she

01:11:49wrote all

01:11:50my novels.

01:11:51The truth

01:11:52is, she

01:11:54can't accept

01:11:54the fact that

01:11:55her life

01:11:55it's

01:11:57amounted to

01:11:57nothing.

01:11:59I can

01:11:59testify to

01:12:00that.

01:12:00My dad

01:12:01wrote all

01:12:01those books.

01:12:02That's the

01:12:02absolute truth.

01:12:03Exactly.

01:12:04Exactly.

01:12:05Mr. Asher

01:12:05is the

01:12:05author.

01:12:07Of course

01:12:07Jonathan wrote

01:12:08all of his

01:12:08own novels.

01:12:10I'm the

01:12:10inspiration.

01:12:12Of course,

01:12:12masterpieces.

01:12:13That's right,

01:12:14my darling.

01:12:14I wrote

01:12:15every single

01:12:16line.

01:12:21Every single

01:12:22line was

01:12:23written for

01:12:24you?

01:12:25You're

01:12:25delusional.

01:12:26You lunatic.

01:12:28You don't have

01:12:28a shred of

01:12:29evidence.

01:12:30Who's gonna

01:12:30believe your

01:12:31empty

01:12:31accusations?

01:12:33Oh, you'd

01:12:33like to see

01:12:34the evidence.

01:12:35If you can't

01:12:36present evidence,

01:12:38then this

01:12:38counts as

01:12:39defamation,

01:12:40and I'll

01:12:40put you

01:12:41in prison.

01:12:43Miss Roy?

01:12:44You should

01:12:44leave.

01:12:46Otherwise,

01:12:46we're gonna

01:12:47have to teach

01:12:47you a lesson.

01:12:49I've already

01:12:49said I'm not

01:12:50leaving until

01:12:51I take back

01:12:51everything the

01:12:52Asher's took

01:12:53from me.

01:15:45You're really

01:15:58even yourself.

01:16:01You forget

01:16:01that everything

01:16:02you possess

01:16:02is built

01:16:03on lies.

01:16:04Stop fighting.

01:16:06You don't

01:16:06have any

01:16:07evidence.

01:16:08You can't

01:16:09take me down

01:16:10with your

01:16:10empty

01:16:10accusations.

01:16:11That's where

01:16:12you're wrong,

01:16:12dear husband.

01:16:13I do have

01:16:14evidence and

01:16:15I'm going to

01:16:15show it to

01:16:16everyone right

01:16:17now.

01:16:23Inside this

01:16:24box are the

01:16:25original manuscripts

01:16:26for all of

01:16:27my novels.

01:16:30Oh my God,

01:16:30the original

01:16:31manuscripts?

01:16:32If she's telling

01:16:33the truth,

01:16:34this is huge

01:16:35news.

01:16:35No,

01:16:36no,

01:16:37no,

01:16:37she,

01:16:38you're,

01:16:38you're lying,

01:16:39you're lying.

01:16:40I burned

01:16:41your manuscripts.

01:16:42I burned

01:16:43every single

01:16:43page in that

01:16:44entire house.

01:16:44I know,

01:16:45you have

01:16:45nothing.

01:16:48Johnny,

01:16:49what did

01:16:49you just

01:16:50say?

01:16:51I said,

01:16:52I said there,

01:16:52there are no,

01:16:53there's no such

01:16:54thing as

01:16:55original manuscripts.

01:16:56You're forging

01:16:57evidence now

01:16:57and I'm going

01:16:58to sue you.

01:16:58That's right.

01:16:59They must

01:16:59be forged.

01:17:00Stop lying,

01:17:02Miss Roy.

01:17:02Are you sure

01:17:03you burned

01:17:04everything?

01:17:05What if a few

01:17:05pages were left

01:17:06for me?

01:17:08Right,

01:17:08Kent?

01:17:09No,

01:17:09no,

01:17:10no way,

01:17:11no,

01:17:11we were there,

01:17:12you were all

01:17:12there,

01:17:12we burned

01:17:12everything.

01:17:13You saw.

01:17:17Shut up,

01:17:18you fucking

01:17:18idiot.

01:17:20Jonathan,

01:17:21what's really

01:17:22going on here?

01:17:24Did she really

01:17:25write all the

01:17:26novels?

01:17:26Listen to that

01:17:27delusional nonsense.

01:17:28She's taking

01:17:29shots in the

01:17:30dark.

01:17:31Yeah,

01:17:31what's in that

01:17:32box?

01:17:33Cookie recipes?

01:17:34I know you're

01:17:34trying to use it

01:17:35as evidence,

01:17:36but we won't

01:17:36fool that easily.

01:17:38That box is

01:17:39probably empty

01:17:40for all we know.

01:17:41Since you all

01:17:42still doubt me,

01:17:43why don't I

01:17:43open it and

01:17:44show everyone?

01:17:54What are those?

01:17:55Little scraps

01:17:56for your silly

01:17:56little crafting

01:17:57projects.

01:17:58I told you I

01:18:02didn't save

01:18:02anything.

01:18:04We lived with

01:18:05my mother for

01:18:0625 years.

01:18:08She's just a

01:18:08desperate,

01:18:09delusional housewife

01:18:10trying to pass off

01:18:11my father's talent

01:18:12as her own.

01:18:14That's right.

01:18:14How could a

01:18:15housewife write

01:18:16masterpieces like

01:18:17Mr. Asher?

01:18:18And she almost

01:18:19fooled us all.

01:18:19Looks like she's

01:18:20all bark and

01:18:21no bite.

01:18:22You've crashed

01:18:25my award ceremony.

01:18:26You slandered

01:18:27my reputation

01:18:28and you don't

01:18:29have a shred

01:18:29of evidence.

01:18:30All you've got

01:18:31are your empty

01:18:31accusations.

01:18:33So don't blame

01:18:34me for sending

01:18:35you straight

01:18:36to jail.

01:18:41Security!

01:18:42Get this

01:18:43woman!

01:18:46Wait!

01:18:47Wait, wait, wait!

01:18:51This is part of

01:18:52the manuscript

01:18:52of the burning

01:18:53bush!

01:19:00It looks like

01:19:01written on all

01:19:02these scraps of

01:19:02papers are parts

01:19:03of the original

01:19:04manuscripts from

01:19:05all of Mr. Asher's

01:19:07award-winning

01:19:08novels!

01:19:09Oh my god!

01:19:10Is she actually

01:19:11the real author

01:19:12of those books?

01:19:13What a plot

01:19:14twist.

01:19:16Johnny,

01:19:16please explain

01:19:18those manuscripts

01:19:19scrap.

01:19:24Those are my

01:19:25manuscript scraps.

01:19:26I, you know,

01:19:27have this funny

01:19:28habit where I

01:19:28take notes

01:19:29whenever

01:19:29inspiration

01:19:30scrap.

01:19:32That's right!

01:19:34Those are

01:19:34my dad's

01:19:35manuscripts.

01:19:36His writing

01:19:37style is

01:19:37unconventional.

01:19:43Jonathan,

01:19:44since you

01:19:45admit that

01:19:45these are

01:19:46the original

01:19:46manuscripts,

01:19:47we can determine

01:19:48the true author

01:19:49through a

01:19:50handwriting analysis.

01:19:51I have nothing

01:19:52to hide,

01:19:53and I would

01:19:54relish

01:19:55the opportunity

01:19:56to prove you

01:19:57wrong.

01:19:58But everybody

01:19:58knows that

01:20:00takes a

01:20:01forensic expert.

01:20:02No fraud

01:20:03would agree

01:20:03to that.

01:20:04Mom, you're

01:20:07grasping at

01:20:07straws.

01:20:08Just let it

01:20:08go.

01:20:11Hurry up

01:20:12and throw

01:20:13her out!

01:20:14Uh, uh, uh,

01:20:14actually, we

01:20:16have a

01:20:17forensic handwriting

01:20:18expert here,

01:20:20one of our

01:20:21honored guests.

01:20:22Perhaps they

01:20:23could do the

01:20:24handwriting

01:20:24comparison.

01:20:25The results

01:20:33of the

01:20:33restoration

01:20:33just came

01:20:34in.

01:20:34It looks

01:20:35like we

01:20:35were able

01:20:35to find

01:20:36what you

01:20:36were looking

01:20:37for.

01:20:48Yeah.

01:20:50That's great.

01:20:52I gotta run.

01:20:52Thank you so

01:20:53much.

01:21:07The results

01:21:17of the

01:21:18restoration

01:21:18just came

01:21:19out.

01:21:19Good.

01:21:20I'll be

01:21:20waiting.

01:21:21Well, I

01:21:22hope that was

01:21:22your little

01:21:22lover rushing

01:21:23over to help

01:21:24you.

01:21:24If so, it'll

01:21:25be easier to

01:21:25put you both

01:21:26in jail.

01:21:26Are you so

01:21:27sure that I'm

01:21:27the one

01:21:28getting arrested?

01:21:29Oh, stop

01:21:29bluffing.

01:21:31Stop bluffing,

01:21:32Mom.

01:21:33Soon, you'll

01:21:34have nothing

01:21:34to laugh about.

01:21:35Those little

01:21:36scrapped

01:21:36paper don't

01:21:38prove anything.

01:21:40You brought

01:21:40this upon

01:21:41yourself,

01:21:41Anne.

01:21:42You used

01:21:42to have a

01:21:43luxurious life

01:21:44being taken

01:21:44care of,

01:21:45but your

01:21:46stubborn,

01:21:47jealous little

01:21:47heart has

01:21:48cost you

01:21:49everything.

01:21:50You used

01:21:51to have a

01:21:51sweet husband,

01:21:53a loving

01:21:53family,

01:21:54big house,

01:21:55nice car.

01:21:56I could

01:21:57go on.

01:21:58You were

01:21:59even the

01:21:59heiress to

01:22:01an elite

01:22:01publishing

01:22:02company.

01:22:03Roy Publishing

01:22:04was at its

01:22:04peak when

01:22:06Mr.

01:22:06Asher was

01:22:07set to

01:22:07become

01:22:07CEO.

01:22:09But now,

01:22:11you're

01:22:11stock?

01:22:15Both

01:22:16professionally

01:22:16and

01:22:17personally.

01:22:22The

01:22:23results of

01:22:23the

01:22:23handwriting

01:22:24analysis

01:22:24are out.

01:22:29According

01:22:30to this

01:22:31analysis,

01:22:32the

01:22:32handwriting

01:22:32writing on

01:22:32the

01:22:33manuscripts

01:22:33of

01:22:34the

01:22:34burning

01:22:34bush

01:22:34and

01:22:35the

01:22:35other

01:22:3516

01:22:36novels

01:22:36all

01:22:37belong

01:22:38to

01:22:39Anne

01:22:42Roy.

01:22:47You only

01:22:48burned the

01:22:48manuscripts

01:22:49that I had

01:22:49recompiled.

01:22:51The originals

01:22:51were written

01:22:52over the course

01:22:53of 25 years

01:22:54whenever and

01:22:55wherever I could

01:22:56find a moment.

01:22:57All while I

01:22:58served this

01:22:58family as a

01:22:59dedicated wife

01:23:00and mother.

01:23:04Oh my God,

01:23:05this is so

01:23:06exciting.

01:23:06I think I'm

01:23:07having a heart

01:23:07attack.

01:23:08This proves

01:23:09nothing.

01:23:11Anyone could've

01:23:12copied dad's

01:23:12books down on

01:23:13sticky notes.

01:23:17Those manuscripts

01:23:18were written on

01:23:19receipts,

01:23:20greeting cards,

01:23:21newspaper margins.

01:23:22all of them

01:23:23clearly dated

01:23:24spanning the

01:23:25course of

01:23:26two and a

01:23:26half decades.

01:23:30Johnny,

01:23:31you can't

01:23:32let her do

01:23:33this.

01:23:33You have

01:23:33to explain.

01:23:39Don't

01:23:39oversell

01:23:39yourself.

01:23:40All those

01:23:41menial house

01:23:41tasks you

01:23:42did back

01:23:43home,

01:23:44they're just

01:23:45like you.

01:23:47Worthless.

01:23:48I'll be there

01:23:58as soon as I

01:23:58can, man.

01:24:12Oh,

01:24:13Anne,

01:24:14look at you.

01:24:15You're so

01:24:16emotionally unstable

01:24:18that you're

01:24:19going to cry

01:24:20over a bunch

01:24:20of scraps of

01:24:21paper.

01:24:22You are a

01:24:23stay-at-home

01:24:24housewife.

01:24:26You've had

01:24:26nothing but

01:24:27time to sit

01:24:28and doodle

01:24:28and copy

01:24:29down my

01:24:30manuscripts.

01:24:30What,

01:24:30you think

01:24:31this proves

01:24:31anything?

01:24:32You could've

01:24:32been just

01:24:32copying my

01:24:33novels before

01:24:34they're even

01:24:34published.

01:24:35He has a

01:24:36point and

01:24:37must have

01:24:38secretly copied

01:24:39down Jonathan's

01:24:39manuscript.

01:24:42Mom is

01:24:43clearly crazy

01:24:44obsessed with

01:24:45dad.

01:24:45Emphasis on

01:24:46the crazy.

01:24:47She probably

01:24:47copied down

01:24:48his manuscript

01:24:49whenever she

01:24:49had time.

01:24:50I've seen

01:24:51her do it

01:24:51with my

01:24:52own two

01:24:52eyes.

01:24:53Oh,

01:24:54that's what

01:24:55it was.

01:24:55Anything

01:24:56makes sense

01:24:56now.

01:24:57What a

01:24:57psychotic

01:24:58woman.

01:24:59She's trying

01:25:00to ruin

01:25:00him because

01:25:01she can't

01:25:01have him.

01:25:06Do you

01:25:07hear that,

01:25:07Anne?

01:25:09You thought

01:25:09you were so

01:25:10clever.

01:25:10Now,

01:25:13get down

01:25:14on your

01:25:15knees.

01:25:16Polish my

01:25:17shoes till

01:25:18they sparkle.

01:25:20You made

01:25:20your mess,

01:25:22housewife.

01:25:25You have no

01:25:29idea how

01:25:30badly you

01:25:31regret this.

01:25:32And hold

01:25:32on.

01:25:33I'm almost

01:25:33there.

01:25:34everything I've

01:25:37ever wanted,

01:25:39I've achieved.

01:25:40Money,

01:25:42prestige,

01:25:43a fantastic

01:25:44lover.

01:25:45I've got it

01:25:46all.

01:25:47You're the

01:25:47one who

01:25:48should be

01:25:49regretting

01:25:50her choices.

01:25:52You have

01:25:52nothing.

01:25:54mom,

01:25:56you can't

01:25:57blame anyone

01:25:58but yourself.

01:26:00You chose

01:26:01to be a

01:26:02housewife.

01:26:03And you

01:26:03should have

01:26:03chosen to

01:26:04spend more

01:26:04time trying

01:26:05to keep

01:26:05your husband's

01:26:06attention.

01:26:08You're

01:26:09right.

01:26:10I did

01:26:11choose this.

01:26:12And I

01:26:13don't regret

01:26:13being a

01:26:14stay-at-home

01:26:14mom.

01:26:15Nothing

01:26:16gave me

01:26:16more pleasure

01:26:17than making

01:26:18sure that

01:26:18my family

01:26:19was loved

01:26:20and cared

01:26:21for.

01:26:21Now that

01:26:24I'm

01:26:24chairwoman

01:26:24again,

01:26:25I'll

01:26:26nurture

01:26:26Roy Publishing

01:26:27in much

01:26:28the same

01:26:28way.

01:26:29I am

01:26:29going to

01:26:30reorganize

01:26:30this

01:26:31company,

01:26:32establish

01:26:32better

01:26:32standards,

01:26:33and make

01:26:33sure to

01:26:34blacklist

01:26:34toxic

01:26:35people

01:26:35like

01:26:36the

01:26:36Ashers.

01:26:39Oh,

01:26:39come on.

01:26:40Stop

01:26:40dreaming,

01:26:41Anne.

01:26:41The writing's

01:26:42on the

01:26:42wall.

01:26:43Roy Publishing

01:26:44House is

01:26:44done for.

01:26:46Let me

01:26:46get this

01:26:46right.

01:26:47You think

01:26:48the industry

01:26:48should trust

01:26:49a homeless,

01:26:50helpless,

01:26:51divorce

01:26:52failure

01:26:52of a

01:26:53housewife

01:26:53to establish

01:26:54better

01:26:55standards.

01:26:56You couldn't

01:26:57even keep

01:26:58your own

01:26:58house in

01:26:59order.

01:27:00They'll

01:27:01trust

01:27:01Anne

01:27:02Roy.

01:27:03They'll

01:27:04trust the

01:27:04heiress of

01:27:05the Roy

01:27:05empire and

01:27:06the true

01:27:06author of

01:27:07this company's

01:27:08best-selling

01:27:09books.

01:27:09And your

01:27:10delusions

01:27:10long enough.

01:27:13Go spout

01:27:14your crazy

01:27:14nonsense

01:27:15elsewhere.

01:27:16Charity,

01:27:16what are you

01:27:17waiting for?

01:27:19Don't touch

01:27:20her.

01:27:21sorry I'm

01:27:26late.

01:27:27No,

01:27:28you're

01:27:29right on

01:27:29time.

01:27:36Oh,

01:27:36good.

01:27:37Now,

01:27:37little lover

01:27:38boy has

01:27:38finally

01:27:38arrived.

01:27:40We can

01:27:40send the

01:27:41two love

01:27:41birds to

01:27:42the police

01:27:42station

01:27:42together.

01:27:45Well,

01:27:45you are

01:27:45right to

01:27:46assume that

01:27:46someone's

01:27:48going to

01:27:48jail

01:27:48tonight.

01:27:49Oh,

01:27:49Mr.

01:27:50Harper,

01:27:51I know

01:27:52you just

01:27:52arrived,

01:27:53so you

01:27:53probably

01:27:54haven't

01:27:54heard,

01:27:55but you

01:27:56two are

01:27:57done for.

01:27:58Once news

01:27:59of your

01:27:59filthy affair

01:28:00gets out,

01:28:01the board

01:28:01members will

01:28:02kick you

01:28:02both out of

01:28:03the company.

01:28:04Then Mr.

01:28:05Asher will

01:28:06be asked

01:28:06to take

01:28:07over as

01:28:07CEO.

01:28:11That's a

01:28:12pretty good

01:28:12plan you

01:28:12got there,

01:28:13except for

01:28:14one little

01:28:14hiccup.

01:28:15Ann predicted

01:28:16everything you

01:28:16were going to

01:28:16do one step

01:28:17ahead the

01:28:18whole time.

01:28:18She even

01:28:19planned a

01:28:19little surprise

01:28:21for this

01:28:21exact occasion.

01:28:26This here

01:28:26is a report

01:28:27from a

01:28:27forensic trace

01:28:28analyst.

01:28:29We recovered

01:28:30some shards

01:28:31of a burnt

01:28:31manuscript

01:28:32from the

01:28:33Asher family

01:28:33fireplace.

01:28:35And it

01:28:35confirms the

01:28:36aldermen's

01:28:36and the

01:28:36burnt

01:28:37writing.

01:28:37And the

01:28:38results

01:28:38confirmed

01:28:38the

01:28:39handwriting

01:28:39and all

01:28:39the papers

01:28:40in there

01:28:40were that

01:28:41of

01:28:41Miss

01:28:43Ann Roy.
