00:00:00I'm sorry.
00:00:01What?
00:00:02Are you sure?
00:00:05Mr. Whitmore, you're not going to believe this.
00:00:08The Thunder Circle just approved us of a direct investment.
00:00:11Wait, what?
00:00:13One hundred billion dollars.
00:00:16What?
00:00:17It's Lady Thunder's move.
00:00:19You know, the ghost chairwoman who runs the Thunder Circle?
00:00:22This is her first formal return back to the States and we're her first target.
00:00:27You got it.
00:00:29A hundred billion dollars.
00:00:35That's better.
00:00:36She was right.
00:00:38It was a hundred billion.
00:00:40Parker.
00:00:42Find her.
00:00:43Find who?
00:00:44The girl from the Nairobi flight.
00:00:45Eleanor.
00:00:46I don't care what it takes.
00:00:48You find her.
00:00:49Understood.
00:00:50But what do you want with her?
00:00:53I'm going to marry her.
00:00:55Wait, what?
00:00:57I've never seen a challenging girl like her before.
00:01:02She's the one I want.
00:01:04You self-important bitch.
00:01:11Who the hell do you think you are?
00:01:13I get it, Eleanor.
00:01:15You're not upset about the breakup.
00:01:17You're just pissed about all the money you poured into me.
00:01:20Name your number.
00:01:21Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off and then we're done.
00:01:26Is that what you think?
00:01:28That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?
00:01:31How about a hundred grand?
00:01:37Two hundred?
00:01:39Daniel.
00:01:40Three.
00:01:41That's my final offer.
00:01:43Three hundred thousand dollars, sweetheart.
00:01:46Do you really think I'm here for the money?
00:01:49Just take the money and go.
00:01:51Daniel should have dropped you ages ago.
00:01:54God knows what you were actually doing overseas.
00:01:58And what do you mean by that?
00:02:00I mean, if you weren't selling yourself,
00:02:04how else could you possibly have afforded to fund Daniel's education?
00:02:08Do you actually expect me to believe you made that sort of money nannying children?
00:02:13What?
00:02:15How dare you, Eleanor?
00:02:17For the sake of our seven years together.
00:02:21Just take the money and leave.
00:02:24Daniel, how can you be so heartless?
00:02:28He's done with you.
00:02:30Get it through your thick head.
00:02:33She's not worth your time.
00:02:35Oh, where's Margaret?
00:02:37Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:02:38Yeah.
00:02:39Said she had to handle something first.
00:02:41She'll be here soon.
00:02:43Margaret?
00:02:45Margaret.
00:02:47Daughter of James West.
00:02:49Vice Chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:02:51Practically next in line, next to Sebastian.
00:02:54Only someone like her is a match for my son.
00:02:58Rich.
00:03:00Properly pedigree.
00:03:02And you are just a misstep he never should have taken.
00:03:06Eleanor, Margaret's on her way.
00:03:09You should leave.
00:03:11Trust me.
00:03:12You don't want to be here when she walks in.
00:03:15Because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed.
00:03:22So that's what this really is about.
00:03:24This isn't about the job.
00:03:26This is about her.
00:03:27This is about Margaret.
00:03:28At least with her, I can build something bigger.
00:03:30Really?
00:03:31Really?
00:03:32Do you really think that you could build something bigger with her than with me?
00:03:36You?
00:03:37Please.
00:03:38So.
00:03:39Do you actually think you're better than me?
00:03:44Margaret, my dear.
00:03:45You're here.
00:03:46So.
00:03:47You must be Eleanor.
00:03:48Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:03:49I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.
00:03:51Bargain bin dress.
00:03:52Basic face.
00:03:53Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:03:54Don't mind her.
00:03:55She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:03:56She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.
00:04:20She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.
00:04:24So you actually think you can compete with me?
00:04:27I'm Margaret West, daughter of James West, vice chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:04:34And you, you're not worth the dirt under my heel.
00:04:39You're right. Unlike you, I don't need to cling to daddy's title to matter.
00:04:44Excuse me? You really think that you can talk back to me?
00:04:49Get out of here before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:04:55Exactly. This is a ceremony for elites, not bed group.
00:05:00What the hell is going on?
00:05:05Ah, Margaret. Is everything alright?
00:05:09Why don't you ask her?
00:05:11Daniel dumped her, and now she's crashing his party.
00:05:16Well, Dr. Piscott was handpicked by Mr. Whitmore himself.
00:05:21So whatever's going on here, you are out of line.
00:05:25Exactly. Take a look around.
00:05:29These aren't just normal guests. This is Whitmore's A-team.
00:05:34CEOs, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:05:39And you are just a college dropout who thinks raising children in Africa is a career.
00:05:45I was running a charity.
00:05:47Oh, charity! Is that what we're calling unemployment now?
00:05:52Honey, just admit that you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:05:56Everyone, we all know why she's here. To chase my son hoping he drags her out of the gutter.
00:06:05So she's a gold digger. How pathetic.
00:06:08Next time you want to play elite, try finishing college first.
00:06:11Hear that? This is reality. My son, a PhD. Future partner. And you are just the mud on his shoes.
00:06:29Now, crawl back into your cave where you came from.
00:06:34Your fairy tale is over.
00:06:46Eleanor, a woman can be broke.
00:06:51Or uneducated, but delusional.
00:06:56Now that's where I draw the line.
00:06:58No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:07:03Funny, Daniel. You know what my biggest mistake was?
00:07:06Believing in you.
00:07:08Seven years.
00:07:09Seven years of working and wiring you money to pay for your tuition and rent.
00:07:14And this is how it ends.
00:07:16Don't twist this.
00:07:18I didn't force you to do any of that.
00:07:21I'm not twisting anything.
00:07:23I bankrolled your PhD.
00:07:26I helped get you into Whitmore.
00:07:28And the second you get upstairs, you drop me.
00:07:33I said I would pay you back. What more do you want?
00:07:37This isn't a transaction.
00:07:39That's not remorse, Daniel.
00:07:41That's cowardice wrapped up in a check.
00:07:43We're done.
00:07:44You ungrateful bitch!
00:07:56That's enough.
00:08:01Enough!
00:08:02I'm done with your tantrums.
00:08:08Get the fuck out of my life!
00:08:10Oh God.
00:08:12Look at her.
00:08:13I'm so pathetic.
00:08:15Somebody give me a towel?
00:08:17Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:08:20Lady, that's enough.
00:08:22Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore group.
00:08:25You?
00:08:26You're humiliating yourself.
00:08:28Get out!
00:08:33We found Eleanor, sir.
00:08:34Where?
00:08:35She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:08:38But things are getting ugly.
00:08:40Dr. Prescott.
00:08:42Quick!
00:08:43Get to HQ now.
00:08:45You see that?
00:08:52Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:56Just leave, Eleanor.
00:08:58Before this gets worse for you.
00:09:00Worse?
00:09:02What?
00:09:03Because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:09:06You want to be a circus act?
00:09:08Fine.
00:09:09But don't expect me to save you when all of this blows up in your face.
00:09:13Save me?
00:09:14That's rich.
00:09:15You don't have the right.
00:09:17You never did.
00:09:19Final warning.
00:09:21Walk out on your own.
00:09:23Our security drag you out.
00:09:26Go ahead.
00:09:28Call the guards.
00:09:29But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:32And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:34Not even Sebastian.
00:09:38Faster.
00:09:39I don't care what it takes.
00:09:40Get me to her now.
00:09:41Yes, sir.
00:09:45Eleanor.
00:09:46Do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
00:09:51Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:54You just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:09:57Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him.
00:10:00But you?
00:10:01You are so dumb.
00:10:03In your world Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine he's just a man.
00:10:09If I were you, I'd be more worried that you laid a hand on me.
00:10:14Sebastian might not be okay with that.
00:10:17God, you must really have a death wish.
00:10:19Eleanor.
00:10:20Forget it.
00:10:21You're upset about the breakup, but now you're spiraling.
00:10:27Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that.
00:10:30You know, I was actually going to offer you a job as a janitor here, but after this, I don't even think you're worth that.
00:10:37You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?
00:10:41Do you know how competitive it is to work here?
00:10:44Even our security guards have degrees and you never finished yours.
00:10:50So that's what you think of me?
00:10:54That's reality.
00:10:56And after everything, trust me, Eleanor.
00:11:00Whitmore has no place for you.
00:11:04I don't need your recommendation.
00:11:07And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not,
00:11:10why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:11:12Where is she?
00:11:24Where is she?
00:11:25Conference Hall.
00:11:26It's tense.
00:11:27From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott used to be involved.
00:11:30Dumped her.
00:11:31They broke up?
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:33Well, I guess that saved me the trouble of stealing someone's fiance.
00:11:39What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:11:41Seriously, you're trying to crash and burn in public?
00:11:44I'll tell you what it is.
00:11:46She couldn't keep you, so she's trying to drag you down with her.
00:11:50Ew. Pathetic.
00:11:52Ex revenge?
00:11:55Don't worry, Daniel.
00:11:56I've got you.
00:12:00Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.
00:12:03With their support, whatever stunt you're pulling, yes.
00:12:07Trust me.
00:12:08When Mr. Whitmore gets here, we still have maybe five minutes left.
00:12:13I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:12:17Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:12:21Was it?
00:12:23Because when the trip comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:12:26Yes.
00:12:27Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:28Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:29He's in the lobby.
00:12:30Wait, he actually came?
00:12:31Oh my God.
00:12:32He's here for Daniel.
00:12:33You hear that, everyone?
00:12:34Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:35This is it.
00:12:36No one can touch us now.
00:12:40You hear that, sweetheart?
00:12:41Whitmore group doesn't take in strays.
00:12:43Get out.
00:12:44As long as you still have legs to walk out on.
00:12:47This is your last time.
00:12:48Mr. Whitmore is in the lobby.
00:12:49He's in the lobby.
00:12:50Wait, he actually came?
00:12:51Oh my God.
00:12:52He's here for Daniel.
00:12:53You hear that, everyone?
00:12:54Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:55This is it.
00:12:56No one can touch us now.
00:12:57You hear that, sweetheart?
00:12:58Whitmore group doesn't take in strays.
00:13:01Get out.
00:13:02As long as you still have legs to walk out on.
00:13:08This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:13:13Half a million dollars.
00:13:16Half a million?
00:13:18For her?
00:13:19It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:24Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:26Disappear.
00:13:27This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.
00:13:35Be smart.
00:13:38Take it and vanish.
00:13:44You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:52But when you realize the truth about who I really am,
00:13:57You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:14Shit, what the hell?
00:14:16You dare humiliate me?
00:14:19So you're someone now, huh?
00:14:21Someone who's gonna change things?
00:14:23Then go ahead.
00:14:26Make your little announcement.
00:14:28But if it's bullshit, you're gonna be crawling out of here kissing every single person's shoes.
00:14:34Come on.
00:14:35This low status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone shoes in here.
00:14:40She's in here.
00:14:54She's my wife.
00:14:55Is that high status enough for you?
00:15:01Mr. Whitmore?
00:15:02I did this to you?
00:15:12It's fine.
00:15:15Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:15:21I don't recall accepting that little proposal of yours on the plane.
00:15:25I meant what I said.
00:15:28Now let me take out the trash.
00:15:30And who the hell are you storming in here?
00:15:33Did you not hear me the first time?
00:15:35I'm her husband.
00:15:37This woman here.
00:15:39She's my wife.
00:15:41Wait, what?
00:15:43Mr. Whitmore married?
00:15:44But he's never.
00:15:45He's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:48Oh God.
00:15:49I'm dead.
00:15:50I'm so dead.
00:15:56Did you just say she's your wife?
00:15:58Eleanor, you shameless bitch.
00:16:00You strung Daniel along for years.
00:16:03For what?
00:16:04To sit behind his back and marry someone else?
00:16:06So she was already married.
00:16:08She was never in it for you.
00:16:09She just wanted your money.
00:16:11Was this your plan all along, Eleanor?
00:16:13Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?
00:16:15Don't twist it.
00:16:17You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:16:19She's right.
00:16:21You don't even realize what you've thrown away.
00:16:24Eleanor's a brilliant woman.
00:16:26You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:16:28So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker.
00:16:32He has a PhD.
00:16:34He has a $30 million partner deal.
00:16:36You watch your mouth.
00:16:38Please.
00:16:40Eleanor just crawled back here with nothing and you expect us to believe she has a husband?
00:16:43Let me guess she hired you.
00:16:46Right?
00:16:47Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride.
00:16:51Right?
00:16:53So would you say she hired an actor?
00:16:55Look at him.
00:16:56Designer suit.
00:16:58Sexy look.
00:16:59Total escort vibes.
00:17:02Exactly.
00:17:03She probably paid for the full fantasy package.
00:17:08Maybe he throws in a couple of extra services too.
00:17:12Oh God.
00:17:13That's Mr. Whitmore.
00:17:15She just called the CEO.
00:17:17A gigolo.
00:17:18I'm Dr. Prescott.
00:17:23Oh Uncle Thomas.
00:17:25He probably works at some private club in Soho.
00:17:28She hired him by the hour.
00:17:30Let's not kid ourselves.
00:17:32I need to understand.
00:17:34Relax Uncle Thomas.
00:17:36This cheap street whore doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:17:41But since Eleanor brought him.
00:17:43We don't have to worry about it.
00:17:45Really Eleanor?
00:17:47You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?
00:17:50It just screams.
00:17:52Pathetic.
00:17:54Exactly.
00:17:55You pathetic social climber.
00:17:57Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:17:59Wait, wait, please stop.
00:18:01Uncle Thomas.
00:18:02What?
00:18:03I've gotten into you.
00:18:04I feel fussy.
00:18:05It's just a washed up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:18:10Don't worry about it.
00:18:11Look.
00:18:12I will handle it.
00:18:13Okay?
00:18:15You want to keep up the fantasy?
00:18:17Good.
00:18:18But before the night ends, both of you will be finished.
00:18:22So you think this is pretend.
00:18:26Still clinging to the drama.
00:18:34No offense, pretty boy.
00:18:36But if she can afford you, so can I.
00:18:39What's the rate?
00:18:41Whatever she's giving you, I'll give you ten times the amount.
00:18:45If you strip for the room.
00:18:50Oh god, no.
00:18:51No.
00:18:52They're dead.
00:18:53They are also dead.
00:18:55Say that again.
00:18:57You heard him.
00:18:59Ten times your rate.
00:19:01Ooh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek.
00:19:03I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.
00:19:06No, no, no.
00:19:07I want no part of this.
00:19:09Oh, come on.
00:19:10Don't be shy.
00:19:11Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:19:14You're gonna give us a twirl, gritty boy.
00:19:19Daniel.
00:19:21Margaret.
00:19:22You have no idea the line you just closed.
00:19:25Then stop faking.
00:19:27If you're gonna play pretend,
00:19:28you can't get mad when people call you out for what you are.
00:19:31All right, cowboy.
00:19:35Final offer.
00:19:37Ten times.
00:19:40Name your price.
00:19:44You watch your mouth.
00:19:49How dare you heal my son?
00:19:50Baby, are you okay?
00:19:51I'm gonna kill that bastard.
00:19:52Are you insane?
00:19:54Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:19:55I don't care who you are.
00:19:57You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:19:58You two are dead.
00:19:59You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate.
00:20:00No one will save you now.
00:20:01You just brought war on yourself.
00:20:02You have no idea who her father is.
00:20:03Is that supposed to scare us?
00:20:04Let her talk.
00:20:05I'm gonna kill that bastard.
00:20:06I'm gonna kill that bastard.
00:20:07Are you insane?
00:20:08Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:20:09I don't care who you are.
00:20:10You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:20:11Do you have any idea who you just brought war on yourself?
00:20:12You have no idea who her father is.
00:20:14Is that supposed to scare us?
00:20:15Let her talk.
00:20:16I'm interested to see who she thinks I should be afraid of.
00:20:17My father is Vice Chair of Whitmore Group.
00:20:18Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:20And you too?
00:20:21I don't care what you do.
00:20:22I'm so sorry.
00:20:23I'm so sorry.
00:20:24I'm sorry.
00:20:25I'm sorry.
00:20:26I'm sorry.
00:20:27I'm sorry.
00:20:28I'm so sorry.
00:20:29I'm sorry.
00:20:30I'm sorry.
00:20:31I'm sorry.
00:20:32I'm sorry.
00:20:33I'm sorry.
00:20:34I'm sorry.
00:20:35I'm sorry.
00:20:36I'm sorry.
00:20:37I'm sorry.
00:20:38I'm sorry.
00:20:39I'm sorry.
00:20:40You just flushed your future adapt, wasn't it?
00:20:58Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:21:00That seat belongs to Sebastian Whitmore.
00:21:02Who do you think you are?
00:21:04No one else dares sit here.
00:21:06I think it kind of suits me.
00:21:08Thomas.
00:21:12You recognize the seat?
00:21:14Would you say I belong here?
00:21:20Yes, sir. Of course you do.
00:21:22Are you out of your mind?
00:21:24That seat belongs to Mr. Whitmore.
00:21:26No one sits there except for him or my father.
00:21:30And you actually dare to park your dumpy ass there?
00:21:34Funny. I'm sitting and I'm not moving.
00:21:38Got a problem?
00:21:40Hmm. You wanna play big shot?
00:21:44Fine. I'll give you one more chance.
00:21:48You can crawl out of that seat like a little dog and beg with Eleanor.
00:21:52Maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.
00:21:58Beg you?
00:22:00Yeah. Get on your knees, bark and crawl a lap around the room in front of everyone.
00:22:06That's the price you pay when you defy us.
00:22:08You hear that, Eleanor?
00:22:10You and your little boy can bark together.
00:22:14How romantic.
00:22:16You're playing with fire.
00:22:18No, sweetheart.
00:22:20I am the fire.
00:22:22Now I'll give you three seconds to kneel.
00:22:24Now...
00:22:26One...
00:22:32You...
00:22:33Margaret, please!
00:22:35Please, Margaret!
00:22:36Don't!
00:22:37Get off of me!
00:22:38She hit me!
00:22:39You think I'm gonna let that slide?
00:22:41Stand!
00:22:42I do not care if she is the Queen of England.
00:22:44I am hitting that bitch!
00:22:46Margaret!
00:22:48You should apologize.
00:22:50What?
00:22:52You might want to walk this back, Miss West.
00:22:55It's not too late to apologize.
00:22:58Just...
00:22:59Think about it.
00:23:03Has everyone lost their minds?
00:23:06You want me to apologize to these two?
00:23:09Listen, I'm good.
00:23:11The only reason I call you uncle is because of my father.
00:23:15Now I get humiliated and you want me to apologize?
00:23:18Yes, I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.
00:23:21You don't know what you're going to step into!
00:23:23What?
00:23:24Ah!
00:23:25I'm calling my father and we will see who crawls away when that happens.
00:23:31No, don't call him!
00:23:32Letter.
00:23:33I'd love to see what James West is gonna do to me.
00:23:37But...
00:23:38Dad?
00:23:39I'm down on the meeting floor and some bitch just hit me.
00:23:43Can you get down here now, please?
00:23:45Please?
00:23:49He's on his way.
00:23:50Hmm.
00:23:51And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:56Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:58Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian in this company.
00:24:04He's coming now.
00:24:05This time, you're finished.
00:24:08Not even I can help you.
00:24:10Help them?
00:24:11Please.
00:24:12They did this to themselves.
00:24:13She and her boy toy need to be crushed.
00:24:16Best.
00:24:17Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.
00:24:19In my world, you're nothing.
00:24:22Still bluffing?
00:24:23I can't wait to see how hard you cry when James West walks in the room.
00:24:33Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?
00:24:47Dad, thank God you're here.
00:24:50This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:24:53What the hell's going on?
00:24:55It's not my fault.
00:24:56This woman is causing a scene.
00:24:59Look, she even slapped me.
00:25:01That's insane.
00:25:03Who here had the nerve to lay a hand on my daughter?
00:25:06Did you tell them who I am?
00:25:08Of course I did. They didn't care.
00:25:10And even worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Mr. Whitmore's feet.
00:25:15It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.
00:25:17That woman and her man, completely out of line.
00:25:21Mr. West, actually, there's something you should know.
00:25:24Shut up, you fool!
00:25:26You allowed someone to lay their hands on my daughter here in my building?
00:25:30Mr. West, you understand?
00:25:32That man is Mr. Whitmore.
00:25:35You dare bring up Mr. Whitmore?
00:25:37Dr. Prescott was hired by him.
00:25:40And this, this is what you allow to happen when Mr. Whitmore is to return?
00:25:45No!
00:25:46I...
00:25:48You.
00:25:50You two.
00:25:53You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?
00:25:58That's right!
00:25:59Him!
00:26:00He is Eleanor's fake husband!
00:26:03And she is the one that's been causing all of the problems!
00:26:06Mr. West, my son Daniel? He used to date Eleanor, but that's been done for a long time now. He has nothing to do with what's happened here today.
00:26:18Relax. Dr. Prescott was personally chosen by Mr. Whitmore. He won't be held responsible.
00:26:23Oh, thank you, Mr. West!
00:26:25Hear that? My dad is here. He runs this place right under Sebastian. You are so done.
00:26:36And what happened to all that attitude?
00:26:39Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?
00:26:43You really have no idea what's coming.
00:26:46Have you completely lost it?
00:26:48You dragged some random escort in here to play husband.
00:26:52And now he's sitting in Mr. Whitmore's chair too scared to turn around.
00:26:58Hey!
00:26:59You!
00:27:01Get your ass out of that chair right now before this gets ugly.
00:27:07Alright, that's enough.
00:27:08Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this clown's face!
00:27:13With pleasure.
00:27:17With pleasure.
00:27:19Daniel, I wouldn't touch that chair if I were you.
00:27:23Because when you do, your little career crumbles.
00:27:26Is that supposed to scare me?
00:27:29No, it's just a fact.
00:27:31He's not someone you're a boss.
00:27:33My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:36No one outranks him except for Sebastian.
00:27:40And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?
00:27:44You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?
00:27:48Please.
00:27:50These two are running this like some sort of drama box show.
00:27:54But everybody knows trash is trash.
00:27:59Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.
00:28:02You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.
00:28:08Really? And why is that?
00:28:10Because you're a nobody.
00:28:12Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.
00:28:16You all love to talk about who's finished.
00:28:19But once that chair turns around, you'll realize it's all you who are done for.
00:28:23You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?
00:28:26You have truly lost your fucking mind since our breakup.
00:28:30Well, this...
00:28:32I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.
00:28:35You got guts. I'll give you that.
00:28:39But guts aren't gonna help you if you piss me off.
00:28:41Now, let me tell you what happens when your little husband tries to con his way into the Whitmore group.
00:28:57Oh, this is exciting. But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:29:01Maybe we should just throw them out of the country for good.
00:29:03Yes. That's what I plan to do.
00:29:07You.
00:29:10Turn that damn chair around right now.
00:29:12Or I'm gonna do it myself.
00:29:14No, Mr. West, please! You can't!
00:29:17Why the hell not?
00:29:19They deserve it.
00:29:21The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so scared!
00:29:26You know, they actually told me to apologize.
00:29:28Apologize?
00:29:30To them?
00:29:32Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them...
00:29:39Sebastian?
00:29:41Mind saying hello?
00:29:43I suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.
00:29:45That voice sounds so familiar.
00:29:48No, it can't be!
00:29:50Stop pretending! Turn that chair around!
00:29:54Grr!
00:30:01Is that supposed to scare me?
00:30:12I turned the chair, so now what?
00:30:15No.
00:30:17No way.
00:30:19You wanted to see me? James West?
00:30:21Mr. Whitmore!
00:30:23Mr. Whitmore!
00:30:25Deb, no need to call Mr. Whitmore. He'll be here any minute.
00:30:30And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:30:34This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:30:36Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.
00:30:39You might just walk out of here.
00:30:41I won't beg anyone.
00:30:42But you?
00:30:44You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:49Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:51If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:54You see that, Eleanor?
00:30:56The fantasy is dead.
00:30:58Now that my dad's here, he'll-
00:31:00He'll kill you both.
00:31:02So get out of that chair, cowboy, before you lose that precious ass that earns you a life.
00:31:06Shut.
00:31:08Up.
00:31:14Dad, why are you shaking?
00:31:17Oh, I get it. You're gonna kick them out before Sebastian gets here.
00:31:21Perfect.
00:31:23Do it.
00:31:25You two are dead.
00:31:27You see my dad's hands? They're shaking.
00:31:30They only do that when he's really pissed.
00:31:33And the more they shake, the angrier he is.
00:31:36Consider, perhaps, he's not shaking from anger.
00:31:40Please.
00:31:42My father fears no one.
00:31:45And if they're trembling, it's because he's about to fire every last one of you.
00:31:53You still don't see where it sits, do you?
00:31:56Pathetic.
00:31:58You're still bragging even when you're about to be thrown out of here?
00:32:01Keep talking, Eleanor. You're digging your own grave.
00:32:04Dad, are you done digging yet?
00:32:07Can we go ahead and deal with these nobodies?
00:32:09Yes.
00:32:12Yes, I'll deal with them.
00:32:17Boo!
00:32:19I'm dealing with you!
00:32:20Dad!
00:32:22You fool!
00:32:24Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:26Me?
00:32:28They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:29Shut it!
00:32:31And apologize to them right now!
00:32:33Apologize to them?
00:32:35Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter. Why would we apologize to them?
00:32:38Ah!
00:32:39Ah!
00:32:40Ah!
00:32:41Shut it!
00:32:43And apologize to them right now!
00:32:45Apologize to them?
00:32:47Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter. Why would we apologize to them?
00:32:52Ah!
00:32:53You...
00:32:58Brainless...
00:32:59Idiot!
00:33:00Do you not know who that is?
00:33:02You can't do this!
00:33:03I...
00:33:04I just...
00:33:05I'm a PhD!
00:33:06I just made partner at Whitmore!
00:33:09Oh!
00:33:10A PhD?
00:33:11Who made partner?
00:33:13I had no idea!
00:33:15That changes zero!
00:33:16PhD!
00:33:18What are you doing? This is my son's celebration!
00:33:33There's no celebration! Not without that guy!
00:33:38Because that is Sebastian, the CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:33:43What?
00:33:44Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:47I apologize for my...
00:33:50Idiot kid!
00:33:52Please, sir...
00:33:53Forgive us!
00:33:55Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:56Please forgive us!
00:33:57Mr. Whitmore! Please forgive us!
00:34:05Are you...
00:34:06Every family's attached to Whitmore?
00:34:09I don't know!
00:34:10Eleanor said she was married to that guy...
00:34:13That...
00:34:14That man...
00:34:15Sebastian...
00:34:16How?!
00:34:17No!
00:34:18No!
00:34:19No!
00:34:20No!
00:34:21He's...
00:34:22He's not Sebastian!
00:34:23That is just some gigolo that she hired!
00:34:25Dad!
00:34:26Dad, this is a trick, right?
00:34:27This is just some joke!
00:34:28You idiot!
00:34:29You have ruined the West's name!
00:34:34Now get our roomies...
00:34:36And beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:39So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:45Mr. Whitmore...
00:34:46I am so sorry!
00:34:49Please forgive me!
00:34:50I didn't know who you were!
00:34:51Please don't ruin us!
00:34:53You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman.
00:34:56But this isn't over.
00:34:58James, is this the heir you've raised?
00:35:01Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is.
00:35:05No, sir!
00:35:06I...
00:35:07I am sorry!
00:35:08My daughter is young...
00:35:10She's stupid and she does not represent me!
00:35:14You're right.
00:35:15She doesn't.
00:35:17But you do.
00:35:18And that's the problem.
00:35:20You're fired.
00:35:21No!
00:35:22Please, sir!
00:35:23Don't!
00:35:24So now I get it, Eleanor.
00:35:26That's why you had no fear.
00:35:28Because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time.
00:35:31You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:35:38No.
00:35:39You've got it wrong.
00:35:41I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian.
00:35:44I'm untouchable because I always was.
00:35:47Seven years, Daniel.
00:35:50And you never once asked who I was.
00:35:53You were so eager to leave.
00:35:55You never stopped to see who you were leaving.
00:35:58I, Dr. Prescott, we fast-tracked you for talent.
00:36:01Yes, your academic record is impressive.
00:36:03But here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity.
00:36:06And you failed that test.
00:36:08Your offer is dead.
00:36:10What?
00:36:11Wait! Mr. Whitmore, please!
00:36:13My son has been working his entire life for this place!
00:36:16I'll draw him out!
00:36:17My decision is final.
00:36:18No amount of begging is going to change it.
00:36:21And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott.
00:36:23I...
00:36:25I...
00:36:26Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:28You have gone too far!
00:36:29Madam Whitmore!
00:36:30Madam Whitmore!
00:36:31Grandma!
00:36:32Grandma!
00:36:33Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:34The way you have defied this family!
00:36:35You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:36:36Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell and what do you do, huh?
00:36:37Ghost us?
00:36:38And then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:36:39You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:36:41You forgot who runs this place.
00:36:42You forgot who runs this place.
00:36:43Go for it.
00:36:44Do you fear us?
00:36:45Then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:36:48You forgot who runs this place.
00:36:49Hey!
00:36:50Grandma!
00:36:51Grandma.
00:36:52Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:53The way you have defied this family!
00:36:56Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:57The way you have defied this family!
00:37:00You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:37:04Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell and what do you do, huh?
00:37:06Ghost us, and then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:37:08No, about the engagement, I'm...
00:37:09You forgot who runs this place.
00:37:11You might have the CEO title,
00:37:13but Grandma built the Whitmore Group from the ground up.
00:37:17And as far as Dr. Preskin and Mr. West,
00:37:19you don't have the authority to fire them.
00:37:24Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:37:26They were getting fired.
00:37:27But who is that guy?
00:37:29Why is he talking back to Sebastian?
00:37:31That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:35Word is, through families at war,
00:37:38Grandma prefers Winston.
00:37:41Don't overstep, Winston.
00:37:43I'm still the acting CEO.
00:37:44Staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:46If Grandma doesn't say otherwise, little brother.
00:37:51Sebastian, James has given decades to this company.
00:37:56And his termination is not happening.
00:37:59Thank you, Madam Whitmore.
00:38:01I appreciate you standing up for me.
00:38:05And as for him, he stays.
00:38:08You do not have the authority to touch him.
00:38:13Grandma, he...
00:38:14Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.
00:38:18And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:38:23We must garner her favor.
00:38:28And Dr. Prescott, he is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:33So, he stays for Whitmore.
00:38:39You got that?
00:38:44Yes.
00:38:45Now, let's focus on what matters.
00:38:49Your marriage to Sylvia Caldwell.
00:38:52That marriage will lock us into the Thunder Circle.
00:38:57Grandma, I'm not marrying Sylvia.
00:38:59I'm already...
00:39:00I have made my decision, and it will not change!
00:39:04No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:39:09He helped me once.
00:39:11I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.
00:39:20Lady Thunder, Whitmore's proposal has been approved.
00:39:23We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.
00:39:25Whitmore, we are our first official U.S. partner.
00:39:27Perfect.
00:39:28Perfect.
00:39:29Make sure it's loud.
00:39:34I'm going to give my husband a surprise.
00:39:41Sebastian, I know you're upset.
00:39:44But your marriage to Sylvia connects us to the Caldwell family.
00:39:49And to the Thunder Circle.
00:39:51That is the future.
00:39:53Would you rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:58I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.
00:40:02Shortcuts?
00:40:03It's called strategy.
00:40:06If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying bricks?
00:40:13Then I disagree, madam.
00:40:16That's not strategy, that's fear.
00:40:18You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:40:21What the hell is she doing?
00:40:23Oh god, it's her again.
00:40:25Doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself?
00:40:28Who let the trash in?
00:40:30Someone needs to take her back out to the curb.
00:40:32Who is she?
00:40:33Madam Whitmore, this is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:38She stalked me here and then latched onto Sebastian,
00:40:41pretending to be his wife just to oppose your engagement plans.
00:40:45Shut up, Daniel.
00:40:46One more word and I'll shatter your jaw.
00:40:48Do you see that?
00:40:49He's panicking.
00:40:51Madam?
00:40:53Those two are lying to your face.
00:40:57That girl Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:41:02That's just part of their scheme.
00:41:04Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:41:09Yes, Sebastian and I started out as pretenders, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:41:15And what are you playing at?
00:41:19Sebastian Whitmore?
00:41:21Sebastian Whitmore?
00:41:30Oh, you gotta be shitting me!
00:41:34Are you out of your mind?
00:41:38You're doubling down on this circus.
00:41:41It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.
00:41:45So you're trying to take advantage now.
00:41:48Even if Sebastian's in trouble, there's no way he'd stoop to marrying a lowlife like you.
00:41:54Sebastian, if you say yes to her now, you will lose everything!
00:41:58Do you even know what you're doing?
00:42:01Of course.
00:42:02You proposed to me, I'm just returning the favor.
00:42:07What's the matter, Sebastian?
00:42:08Are you scared?
00:42:08Eleanor, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.
00:42:13And now that I'm suddenly in trouble, it's a yes?
00:42:15Exactly.
00:42:17I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune.
00:42:20I'm saying yes to you.
00:42:23Just as you are.
00:42:29Then, Eleanor, I say yes too.
00:42:34I will marry you.
00:42:38There.
00:42:41Where's my wife now?
00:42:43Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:47Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:58So what?
00:42:59You think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?
00:43:05I see now my word means nothing to you anymore.
00:43:09So let me make this clear.
00:43:12I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:43:22Grandma, you can't be serious.
00:43:24I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:26I-
00:43:27Stop calling me that.
00:43:30The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the family.
00:43:34And this is only the beginning.
00:43:37Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder, and the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia,
00:43:42who you betrayed.
00:43:43And you will attend, and you will pacify Sylvia, because it's your last chance.
00:43:50And if you fail, you can go pack your things and move out of our family.
00:43:57And I know you've been chasing investments behind our back.
00:44:11But Sylvia has promised me that unless you marry her,
00:44:14you won't see a single cent from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:17That's impossible.
00:44:19I already received a confirmation from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:21The deal's done.
00:44:22Confirmation?
00:44:25Talk is cheap.
00:44:27Unless you have a signed contract, you have nothing.
00:44:31Mr. Whitmore, we haven't received the signed contract yet.
00:44:33You see?
00:44:37How I can't wait to see you fall, little brother.
00:44:41And you, girl, think you can just come in here and steal Sylvia's fiance?
00:44:48You have no idea the hell you've raised.
00:44:53And Dr. Prescott, you'll be joining us tomorrow for the gala.
00:44:58Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:45:00You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:45:04That's right.
00:45:05Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:45:09What?
00:45:10Comes from where?
00:45:12Is that true?
00:45:13The Thunder Circle wrote my son a letter?
00:45:17According to Sylvia, Lady Thunder has a soft spot for polished scholars.
00:45:21Tomorrow's your chance.
00:45:23You play your cards right, she might take a liking to you.
00:45:27Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:45:30I will go.
00:45:31Good.
00:45:32Then it's settled.
00:45:33The Thunder Circle gave their word.
00:45:38They wouldn't back out.
00:45:41Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:43Yes, sir.
00:45:45Hey.
00:45:47Relax.
00:45:47I said they'd invest in me really slow-bo.
00:45:51Really?
00:45:52A back room's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:57We'll see who's laughing tomorrow.
00:46:02And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.
00:46:07You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle?
00:46:12No, you are not invited, but we are.
00:46:15We'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:46:18Tomorrow?
00:46:19You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband.
00:46:23Be lucky if you're still breathing by tomorrow.
00:46:25And if you have even a shred of sense left, you'll get on a plane tonight.
00:46:30Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.
00:46:34Oh, so, so I'm the gold digger now?
00:46:37Of course!
00:46:39You're cleaning Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:41But not even he can support you now.
00:46:44Forget it, Mom.
00:46:45Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:48If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow, maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:54Keep you alive.
00:46:57Let's go.
00:47:06I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle, you still feel this high.
00:47:11Hey, don't listen to them.
00:47:17I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.
00:47:21Relax, Mr. Whitmore.
00:47:23I got this.
00:47:25Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.
00:47:28Yes, ma'am.
00:47:29I get it.
00:47:29You're the dangerous one.
00:47:32But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family, they're a lot to handle.
00:47:37So what?
00:47:38So, tomorrow I'll sign the deal.
00:47:41I'll secure everything.
00:47:42Because keeping you safe is my job now.
00:47:45Wow, what a hero.
00:47:47Now, what happened to that
00:47:49cocky CEO who was begging me to marry him on the plane?
00:47:52Oh, come on.
00:47:53That was so embarrassing.
00:47:55That guy on the plane, he's dead now.
00:47:56He no longer exists, all right?
00:48:00So, my wife, shall we move to the next step?
00:48:04Let's get married.
00:48:11How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?
00:48:30Everything is ready, the media is locked, and the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been firewashed.
00:48:35Good.
00:48:37Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family, this is for Sebastian.
00:48:41So make sure all the funds fall into his hands only.
00:48:44I understand.
00:48:45I understand.
00:48:45I understand.
00:48:47Also, two of our allies are requesting the news.
00:48:50One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate, and the other is General Hareda.
00:48:53They're outside.
00:48:55Should I let them in?
00:48:56I understand.
00:48:56Fingerman.
00:49:03Lady Thunder.
00:49:05Lady Thunder.
00:49:06Please.
00:49:10So, I'll be done.
00:49:13Your business is good?
00:49:14Yes, Lady Thunder.
00:49:16And thank you.
00:49:18Your support during my toughest year meant everything.
00:49:22My weapons empire now spans five continents.
00:49:26Impressive.
00:49:28And you, Amir?
00:49:30As usual, I'm doing well.
00:49:32Without your backing, I wouldn't be where I am.
00:49:34Leading my country with stability.
00:49:36It's good to hear.
00:49:38So, can I expect both of you at the gala tomorrow?
00:49:41Of course.
00:49:42Whatever you want, Lady Thunder.
00:49:44Just say the word.
00:49:46I will back you, no matter what.
00:49:51I'm afraid I can't attend.
00:49:53Things have grown tense between the Coldwells and me.
00:49:58What happened?
00:50:00Well, in the past few years, they've been expanding aggressively.
00:50:05Crushing competitors left and right.
00:50:08I thought they were acting with your approval.
00:50:10So, I didn't intervene.
00:50:13No, I never authorized any of that.
00:50:20Seems I underestimated how far they'd go.
00:50:23This ends now.
00:50:25They will answer for everything that they've done.
00:50:31Well, then tomorrow should be...
00:50:34Entertaining.
00:50:37I can't.
00:50:38Let's shake the world together.
00:50:42Cheers.
00:50:56Sebastian?
00:51:00Sebastian?
00:51:00Hey.
00:51:02Just checking in.
00:51:04I wanted to see if you're free tomorrow.
00:51:06What's going on?
00:51:07Well, the gala's tomorrow and I had a few dresses made for you.
00:51:12A few?
00:51:13You make it sound like you're hosting a fashion week for me.
00:51:17Well, as your husband, it's my job to make sure you're the most stunning woman in the room.
00:51:21Is that so?
00:51:23Or is it so you can make your enemies jealous?
00:51:26Who says I can't do both?
00:51:27I can't do both.
00:51:30Talk tomorrow.
00:51:35Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:36Lady Thunder is currently in a closed meeting.
00:51:39She won't be seeing anyone today.
00:51:41Mr. Lee, I just need to confirm about the investment.
00:51:45Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:46Lady Thunder has a high level of belief in you.
00:51:48You'll get your answer at the gala.
00:51:51Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:51:57ั

00:52:23Tonight is the gala. Luckily Sylvia introduced us to her brother Ravine. He owns the most
00:52:49exclusive boutique in the city. Even celebrities come here and still leave
00:52:54empty-handed. Unbelievable. Mr. Caldwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here
00:53:02costs at least six figures. It is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's
00:53:09attention. Pick out anything you want in the store. Thank you. And your sister too.
00:53:17Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and Caldwell families at
00:53:23the gala. Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor. Absolutely. That's my boy. P.H.D. Perfect.
00:53:34And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner? My boy, let's be honest. Next to Lady
00:53:42Lady Thunder? That girl Eleanor? They're nothing. If she notices you and you end up marrying her,
00:53:52you'd rule!
00:53:54you have got to be kidding me. Eleanor! Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some
00:54:10nerve showing your face around here. Watch your mouth. My wife can go wherever the hell she pleases.
00:54:16Sebastian brought you to play dress up. Adorable. Too bad this dress costs more than you may hear.
00:54:27Who is she, Sebastian? I thought you were still with my sister. And you are? You seriously don't know?
00:54:36This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother? How shameless. First you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiance and now you're
00:54:46shopping like you belong here? Wait, so what? Poor Avian, you didn't know. This gold digger
00:54:55cons Sebastian to marrying her. She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore. What? Married? Sebastian,
00:55:03you threw away my sister for this cheap whore? Watch your mouth. Whatever arrangement I have with
00:55:09Sylvia is over and I'll deal with her. But you never get to insult my wife. Your wife in my store.
00:55:17I have every right to throw you both out. Her first. Oh yeah? Let me make it easy for you. We'll take
00:55:25everything. Every dress, every necklace, every damn shoe in this place. By the end of this day, the store will be mine.
00:55:34Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him? Seriously, Sebastian, you're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:50Maybe it's a little bit better in bed now. Fuck it no more. You don't get to speak about my wife ever.
00:55:58Mr. Whitmore, you're not even CEO anymore. Just because I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:56:06Please, my son has a PhD. One day he's going to surpass you.
00:56:12Surpass me? Yes, my son Daniel. He is about to marry the most powerful woman alive. Lady Thunder herself.
00:56:23What? I'm sorry, what? So, you regret it now? You left my son and now he's going to marry the woman that
00:56:33could crush you both. Actually, you're not entirely wrong. Daniel, your mother thinks you'll marry the
00:56:40Lady Thunder. Maybe that was possible once. But not anymore. And who the hell are you to say that?
00:56:47Because I'm Lady Thunder. Chairwoman of the Thunder Circle. And you? I mean, you've lost the right to even
00:56:59dream of standing by my side.
00:57:06You? Lady Thunder. Okay, can someone give the girl an Oscar?
00:57:12Everyone hear this? This lunatic thing. She runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future.
00:57:18I don't know, a Lady Thunder stuff thing we can throw around like that. You can't.
00:57:24You bitch. You break into my store spouting delusions.
00:57:28Adam, I'd like you to buy up every Caldwell boutique worldwide. I'm on the brand under my name.
00:57:45What? Do you even know how much it costs to buy my store?
00:57:51Eleanor, I get it. The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder?
00:57:59You're going to get poor Sebastian killed. So Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:58:05Even if you clawed your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing. Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:58:16Enough of the circus. Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?
00:58:27If everyone touches her, I'll ruin you.
00:58:28Do you realize what you're doing? You are crossing a lie.
00:58:33Seriously, Sebastian. You side with her, you're both done. The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:58:42Oh. Sylvia?
00:58:49Yes, I'm handling it.
00:58:52What? They bought it.
00:58:56The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell boutiques.
00:59:01What? That's impossible.
00:59:03And Eleanor is the new owner?
00:59:12No. No. This is some mistake.
00:59:14There is no way that street rat owns this place. It's a scam, a trick.
00:59:20Well, Ravine, looks like I own the shop now.
00:59:24You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:59:29What?
00:59:30You bitch.
00:59:32You can't do this. You have any idea.
00:59:34Say one more word and I'll have your name erased from the fashion world like chalk in the rain.
00:59:40Do you want to try me?
00:59:44No.
00:59:45Guards, remove them.
00:59:47Daniel, could she really be Lady Thunder?
01:00:00Absolutely not. I've known her for years. There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle.
01:00:06Then how the fuck did she buy my sword?
01:00:08You still don't get it?
01:00:10That nanny work she did in Africa? That's where she met Lady Thunder,
01:00:16who just so happens to also run a charity there.
01:00:18So you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?
01:00:23Exactly. She's nothing but a side piece with great timing.
01:00:30But tonight, I'll expose her. Tonight, her little luck ends.
01:00:36Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me you're the real Lady Thunder.
01:00:46I can't tell Sebastian everything. Not yet. Not until the gala.
01:00:52Back when I was working in Africa, I met her.
01:00:55You met Lady Thunder?
01:00:57Yes. She visited one of the shelters we spoke, so I reached out to her just now,
01:01:04as well.
01:01:06Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:01:09Look, I'm... I'm sorry.
01:01:11This is great. I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side,
01:01:14there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.
01:01:19Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
01:01:22Of course not. You're my wife.
01:01:27And you stood behind me when everything fell apart.
01:01:29But tonight, I'm gonna do everything it takes to protect you.
01:01:33It's my only job now.
01:01:35That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.
01:01:38But tonight, after the gala, it's official.
01:01:54Public.
01:01:56That doesn't scare you?
01:01:58I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:02:00I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:02:14Winston, congratulations.
01:02:16Everyone knows your grandmother suspended Sebastian from his position,
01:02:19and that makes you next in line for CEO.
01:02:23Well, let's be honest. Sebastian has never been CEO material.
01:02:28My grandmother saw that.
01:02:31And so did the board.
01:02:32You've got the support of the Caldwell family,
01:02:34and their ties to the circle aren't small.
01:02:37And tonight, Lady Thunder will be announcing
01:02:40who's next in line for the billion-dollar investment.
01:02:44And you, Whitmore's golden boy, look like you've got it locked.
01:02:58You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:03:07You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:03:09This is the Thunder Circle Return Gallery.
01:03:12As a member of Whitmore, I have every right to be here.
01:03:14Well, you should be at Sylvia's Suite,
01:03:16not parading around here like you still belong at the top.
01:03:19And you, since when did gutter trash just show up?
01:03:25Eleanor's my wife. You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:03:28Your wife? Did you just sing that out loud?
01:03:32Everyone, gather round. I have a little joke to tell you.
01:03:36Now, this man, my brother, used to be the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.
01:03:44Well, he could have married Sylvia and joined the powerful Caldwell family,
01:03:48but instead, he married her.
01:03:52A gold digger.
01:03:54Now, isn't that hilarious?
01:03:58It's true. Sebastian used to be a force.
01:04:01And now, he's just another doughy boy who got tripped by the wiles of a cheap hole.
01:04:06He offended the Caldwell family. He's dead now.
01:04:10You hear that, Sebastian? Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?
01:04:18You shut your mouth, or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.
01:04:23But you should be crawling back to Sylvia for scraps.
01:04:27And you, this poor excuse for life. I'll deal with you first.
01:04:33I'd like to see what kind of idiot thinks they can deal with me here.
01:04:38Don't you run your mouth!
01:04:39You...
01:04:48BITCH!
01:04:52You come to me, Winston.
01:04:53You bastard. I'm your brother!
01:04:56You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone, huh?
01:05:00Sebastian. Let him go.
01:05:05I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:05:07Isn't she just a nobody? Where does she get the guts?
01:05:10Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails. Once he's gone, she's out.
01:05:14You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.
01:05:21You chose a bitch over the blood. That's fine.
01:05:25As far as I'm concerned, you are exiled from the Whitmore family.
01:05:29You don't have the authority to exile me from Whitmore.
01:05:31He does not, but I do!
01:05:45Grandma.
01:05:47Sebastian.
01:05:50I'm going to ask you this for the last time. Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:56No, grandmother. I never loved her.
01:06:00I didn't ask you if you loved her. I asked, will you marry her?
01:06:05No. I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:06:08You're...
01:06:09You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?
01:06:14You might be my grandmother, but you don't get to insult my wife.
01:06:18You really think marrying into the Caldwell family is going to elevate us?
01:06:22Of course I do!
01:06:23And what are you trying to say?
01:06:26The Caldwells say merge, but you and I both really know what they want.
01:06:30They want our assets, our name, and when they're done sucking us dry,
01:06:35Wilma will be nothing.
01:06:36We can't trust them.
01:06:38And we can't trust Sylvia.
01:06:42No wonder Sebastian's a CEO.
01:06:44Sharp instincts.
01:06:45Looks like I picked the right man.
01:06:48Grandma, don't listen to him.
01:06:50Sylvia promised.
01:06:51And if Sebastian agrees,
01:06:53the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:57You're sure?
01:06:58Absolutely. That's what this whole night is for.
01:07:00And Sylvia's already on her way.
01:07:03Aside from Lady Thunder, she is the centerpiece of this gala.
01:07:07If we cross her, we lose everything.
01:07:11You're right.
01:07:13We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.
01:07:17Do you hear that?
01:07:19Do you see what we have at stake?
01:07:22What are you laughing at?
01:07:24All of this.
01:07:25You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention.
01:07:32And you call that a strategy?
01:07:34Sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:07:37What do you mean?
01:07:38What I mean is if you're looking for investment from the Thunder Circle,
01:07:43you don't need the Caldwells.
01:07:45You need me.
01:07:49What are you saying?
01:07:50Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:52Even a rat in the Thunder Circle has more value than you.
01:07:55She's out of her mind.
01:07:57The Thunder Circle is untouchable.
01:07:59How does someone like her say something like that?
01:08:02You're all looking down on me because you don't know who I really am.
01:08:05But when you find out, you'll all be kneeling.
01:08:09Prove it.
01:08:10But if you're lying, you know there's a price.
01:08:13I am...
01:08:15This isn't about her lies.
01:08:16She's going to bring down the entire Whitmore family legacy.
01:08:21Mrs. Whitmore, you may not know this,
01:08:28but yesterday Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Ravine Caldwell boutique.
01:08:35Sebastian, is this true?
01:08:37The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder.
01:08:40Eleanor just asked for help.
01:08:42How did she know?
01:08:43Because they played the charity card.
01:08:47Years in Africa, nannying kids.
01:08:50All of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:08:53Exactly.
01:08:54No wonder she seduced Sebastian, turned him against his own family.
01:08:58She has made a career out of clinging to powerful people.
01:09:02She's dangerous.
01:09:04She's a conniving parasite.
01:09:08You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family.
01:09:12And now you're trying to drag us down with you?
01:09:16You ruined the alliance.
01:09:18And now you show up here and crash the Thunder Circle Gala.
01:09:23We should make her crawl and beg for forgiveness.
01:09:25The ones who have been trying to crush you are the Caldwells.
01:09:29They should beg for forgiveness.
01:09:31You arrogant lunatic!
01:09:34Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?
01:09:36I'm just stating the facts.
01:09:38She's amazing.
01:09:40Facts, huh?
01:09:48That's Sylvia Caldwell.
01:09:50Things are about to get ugly.
01:09:51Eleanor's finished.
01:09:52Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.
01:09:55Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:10:00My son, you could do worse than marrying her.
01:10:02Mother.
01:10:04All right, all right.
01:10:05You were made for Lady Thunder.
01:10:08That's the one you deserve.
01:10:10Sylvia.
01:10:11Thank God you're here.
01:10:13Seriously, Winston?
01:10:15One girl, you crumble.
01:10:17Pathetic.
01:10:18Move.
01:10:19I'm sorry.
01:10:20I'm sorry.
01:10:20I'm sorry.
01:10:22I'm sorry.
01:10:23I'm sorry.
01:10:24I'm sorry.
01:10:26First you steal.
01:10:28Then you get our stores.
01:10:30And fire my brother.
01:10:31Tell me, are you fearless or just an idiot?
01:10:35Why do I have to choose either?
01:10:38Are you that rattled?
01:10:39Good.
01:10:40Good.
01:10:41Let's see how brave you are.
01:10:44Sylvia, don't.
01:10:47Sebastian, you're my fiance, and you're defending her?
01:10:50I never even married.
01:10:52I came here tonight to talk.
01:10:54To build something better.
01:10:55Better?
01:10:58You call destroying our family legacy better?
01:11:05Fine.
01:11:06You want something better?
01:11:10Kneel.
01:11:12Both of you, and beg me for it.
01:11:18Enough.
01:11:19I've only gotten started.
01:11:21By the time tonight's gala ends, Whitmore won't even exist.
01:11:26Miss Caldwell, you can't do this.
01:11:28You promised the back I'll rise into the thundership home.
01:11:32You promised Sebastian would marry me.
01:11:34Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:11:36Do you hear?
01:11:38Kneel!
01:11:39Marry her!
01:11:40Don't drag this family down with you.
01:11:42You're trying to doom us all, you ungrateful bastard!
01:11:46What's the matter with you two, Sebastian?
01:11:48Too proud of Tennille?
01:11:51Looks like...
01:11:53you're the one who should be me.
01:12:05Oh my god!
01:12:06She's insane!
01:12:06She's totally insane!
01:12:11Sylvia?
01:12:12Are you hurt?
01:12:15Do I look fine to you, idiot?
01:12:22You bitch!
01:12:23No one humiliates me like this!
01:12:26Oh, well there's a first sign for everything.
01:12:27I'm sure that you will get used to it.
01:12:31Kill her!
01:12:36This woman desecrated the Thunder Circle Gala!
01:12:39It's not only an insult to me, it's treason against Lady Thunder herself!
01:12:44She will be eliminated!
01:12:47And anyone who stands with her becomes my enemy.
01:12:52This is it.
01:12:53If I stand with Sylvia now, I'll win her and Lady Thunder's favor.
01:12:57Sylvia's right!
01:12:59Eleanor defied Lady Thunder.
01:13:02She deserves to be punished!
01:13:04I said it right!
01:13:05She's a disgrace!
01:13:07She defied everything we stand for!
01:13:09We must punish her!
01:13:11Punish her!
01:13:13Punish her!
01:13:14Punish her!
01:13:14Punish her!
01:13:15Punish her!
01:13:17Punish her!
01:13:18Punish her!
01:13:21No, you got it all wrong!
01:13:23Everyone saw what she did.
01:13:24You're really gonna defend her?
01:13:26Did you hear that, Eleanor?
01:13:28Game over!
01:13:29You breathe, because I allow it.
01:13:32And when I say you're finished...
01:13:34Don't you dare.
01:13:35If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.
01:13:37Shut up, Sebastian!
01:13:39Everyone here wants her gone!
01:13:41You'd risk your entire family for a woman like her?
01:13:44You want to ruin yourself?
01:13:46Fine.
01:13:47But don't drag the Whitmores down with you.
01:13:49This is what happens when you defy the Caldwells.
01:13:52So, Eleanor, how do you want to die?
01:13:54Impressive, Sylvia.
01:13:56You twisted the truth so quickly.
01:13:58But you picked the wrong opponent.
01:14:01All of you?
01:14:02You're just insects in my eyes.
01:14:04Still mouthing off?
01:14:06I'll send you straight to hell.
01:14:13And who exactly are you planning on sending to hell?
01:14:15General Varelli and Prince Amir?
01:14:23What are they doing here?
01:14:24This is the Thunder Circle's return gala.
01:14:27Big names were expected.
01:14:29Too bad for her.
01:14:30She's even more screwed now.
01:14:33What are you doing here, Varelli?
01:14:36We were just about to take out the trash.
01:14:38So, unless you plan on interfering with Thunder Circle justice, I suggest you let us finish.
01:14:44Sylvia Caldwell, who exalt me who you're planning to kill?
01:14:50Her.
01:14:51She attacked me in public.
01:14:54She disrupted the gala.
01:14:56I know we've had our differences.
01:14:59Well, don't tell me you're here to steal my credit to impress Lady Thunder.
01:15:04Steal credit?
01:15:05You really have no idea what you've just done.
01:15:09One more word out of you.
01:15:11And the Caldwell name is history.
01:15:13You're serious?
01:15:14Deadly.
01:15:15You touch her again, and your entire empire burns to the ground.
01:15:20Because the woman you just threatened is Lady Thunder herself.
01:15:26Lady Thunder!
01:15:27What?
01:15:34Lady Thunder, don't be ridiculous.
01:15:36She's just a gold digger, for God's sake.
01:15:40Exactly!
01:15:41She's a broke cooker.
01:15:44This is just another bluff.
01:15:46She's pulling the same stunts, okay?
01:15:49She already used Lady Thunder to crush the Caldwell stores,
01:15:52and now she's doing the same thing, sabotaging our alliance.
01:15:56She's a fraud!
01:15:57You all must be delusional.
01:16:00Fine!
01:16:00If you want to stand with a liar, you're all as good as dead.
01:16:04Now I understand just how bold your entire family has become.
01:16:09Do you really think that Morelli, Amir, and the entire Thunder Circle
01:16:12couldn't erase your family over them?
01:16:15The real Lady Thunder could.
01:16:17But tonight, she's gonna destroy you and all your fake pretenders.
01:16:26Weapons up!
01:16:31Lay a finger on her and I promise you, none of you will be alive to regret this.
01:16:36You won't want to defend a liar!
01:16:40Stand down!
01:16:41Stand down!
01:16:47That's Adam Lee, Lady Thunder's right hand.
01:16:49He only arrives when she commands it.
01:16:52What is happening?
01:16:53Mr. Lay, finally, your Lady Thunder's assistant, tell them this woman is lying.
01:17:02Tell them she's not Lady Thunder!
01:17:04Right!
01:17:05She's just my ex.
01:17:07How could she be anything?
01:17:08Lady Thunder manages portfolios worth billions.
01:17:11She babysits Orphan.
01:17:14Shut up!
01:17:16For years, Lady Thunder's been running the largest charity in Africa.
01:17:21While you were polishing your shoes, she was saving children.
01:17:26Can't be!
01:17:27No, no, no.
01:17:29If that's true, then let her prove it.
01:17:35Lady Thunder is to confirm this circle's billion-dollar investment.
01:17:40And the system's only locked with one thing.
01:17:42Her fingerprint.
01:17:45If she is who she says she is, let her unlock her.
01:17:48Yeah, let her prove it.
01:17:51She can't!
01:17:52It's all just empty words.
01:17:53Go ahead, Eleanor.
01:17:55What?
01:17:56Prove you're the Lady Thunder.
01:17:59Unlock the funds right here.
01:18:01Right now!
01:18:04Eleanor.
01:18:07Are you sure you can confirm this?
01:18:09Sebastian.
01:18:11It's time for them to see the truth.
01:18:25Highest level authorization.
01:18:35Verified.
01:18:36Eleanor Thunder.
01:18:37Type.
01:18:38CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:18:40100 billion funds activated.
01:18:43My God!
01:18:49My God!
01:18:50She is Lady Thunder!
01:18:53CEO of the Thunder Circle!
01:18:55She's investing a hundred billion dollars into Sebastian?
01:18:58What?
01:18:58No, this isn't happening.
01:19:00Now you all know who I really am.
01:19:03She really opened it!
01:19:05Eleanor is Lady Thunder!
01:19:09Lady Thunder!
01:19:11Lady Thunder!
01:19:14What now, Sylvia?
01:19:15What else do you have to say?
01:19:18Uh-oh.
01:19:25Sylvia!
01:19:32Sylvia!
01:19:34This is her.
01:19:36Call mom.
01:19:37Be even starved.
01:19:39My father will kill me.
01:19:42Take them out.
01:19:43We'll deal with them later.
01:19:44Oh, my God.
01:19:56So, Eleanor.
01:19:58It's true.
01:20:01You're the Lady Thunder.
01:20:04The CEO of the Thunder Group and the most powerful woman in the world.
01:20:12Does this even matter anymore?
01:20:15Of course it matters.
01:20:18I would have never broken up with you if I had known things could have been different.
01:20:22Could they have been, Daniel?
01:20:28If I had told you that I was Lady Thunder, would you have believed me?
01:20:31That I was the one who funded you?
01:20:33That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:20:35No.
01:20:37We were together for seven years.
01:20:40And you never believed in me.
01:20:44No, that's not true.
01:20:47All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:20:52I didn't mean anything to you.
01:20:57This, this, this, I don't...
01:20:59You made your choice, Daniel.
01:21:02So, every benefit that I gave you, every contact, every daughter, I'm taking it all back.
01:21:14Eleanor, please.
01:21:15We've known each other for years.
01:21:17You've always been like a daughter to me.
01:21:21Whatever misunderstandings are between us, we can fix.
01:21:24Your daughter?
01:21:26Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?
01:21:29Not good enough for your son?
01:21:31It was before.
01:21:32I didn't know.
01:21:34I was stupid and blind.
01:21:37You, you're perfect, Eleanor.
01:21:40So now that I'm Lady Thunder, I'm good enough for your son.
01:21:46You know, ever since I got back from Africa, this has been done.
01:21:51You and Daniel, you're not part of my life anymore.
01:21:55No, please, no.
01:21:58We were together for so long, Eleanor.
01:22:01Please, please forgive me.
01:22:04You wanted a fast track to power.
01:22:07Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy this fall.
01:22:21Eleanor.
01:22:21Lady Thunder, you and my grandson make a perfect pair, so congratulations.
01:22:32Yes, congratulations to you both.
01:22:36You were Sebastian.
01:22:38That's interesting.
01:22:39Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:22:41Well, no.
01:22:47That was a mistake.
01:22:49He's always part of my family.
01:22:51He will always be my grandson.
01:22:53I did warn you all, I told you that you would regret casting him aside.
01:22:58Grandma, I've decided I'm stepping away from the Wittenwolves.
01:23:07It's time I've made something that's truly mine, and not in the family's shadow.
01:23:13But Sebastian, you...
01:23:14I think you should be grateful that he's still calling your grandfather.
01:23:22Don't push your luck, madam.
01:23:27You're right.
01:23:28I will accept whatever choice you make, and respect you.
01:23:47Eleanor.
01:23:47As you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore, a man starting over.
01:23:59But if you'll have me, I'd like to start it with you.
01:24:06Will you stay by my side and marry me?
01:24:08Of course I will.
01:24:13And this time, as your wife, investor, and co-founder.
01:24:18I wish I could have done it, but it's just me.
01:24:23I can't do this, you see.
01:24:26I'm sorry I can't be the one to hold you.
01:24:31Because the world is on your shoulders.
