Short filmTranscript
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 him 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 Roy Publishing's 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.
00:02:53Olivia, 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. Just 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. That 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?
00:03:44Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:46Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:47He may not have taken me to that real play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace. I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:04:04Hey, Dad. It's the big silver anniversary today, right? 25 years of marriage. Wow. Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:04:25Yes, of course.
00:04:30Anne, my angel, whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife. You're my whole life.
00:04:42Thank you, my love. Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:47A pen. Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended? I 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.
00:05:12Wow. Dad, 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. You are my muse.
00:05:26Everyone writes acknowledgments. It's no big deal.
00:05:29What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry. Price, insignificant.
00:05:38You better not learn that from my dad. Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's gonna be satisfied with a hotel pen and a left note.
00:05:47I'm a career woman and career women appreciate investment pieces.
00:05:52What's wrong with your mother? She's just being dramatic. Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:06:03Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you. Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your award ceremony, I 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.
00:06:21No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia. I 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?
00:06:37Anne, is it just me or does this look like your husband?
00:06:45Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:07:07Lillianne. My muse, happy 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.
00:07:33He was never talking about me. Who is this woman?
00:07:37How 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? This is an invasion of my privacy.
00:08:00Oh, you're really gonna turn this back around on me when you are the one who brought evidence of your affair into our home?
00:08:05Lillianne and I are professional acquaintances. We discuss art and literature.
00:08:09Every 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.
00:08:21I suppose you're gonna tell me that she finds it necessary to discuss your work dressed in lacy lingerie.
00:08:26You are.
00:08:28You are.
00:08:29Anne, you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not gonna just sit here and listen to your insane accusations.
00:08:34I'll be in my study.
00:08:39No, you don't. No, you don't. You are gonna stand there. You are gonna explain everything to me.
00:08:43Mom, calm down.
00:08:44This is all a big misunderstanding.
00:08:46Okay, Lillianne is a good person. Her and dad have a professional relationship.
00:08:51You know her? You're gonna defend some other woman?
00:08:55Mom, Lillianne is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
00:08:59Her and dad work together. It's her job!
00:09:01Look, I get it. You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
00:09:05Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
00:09:07Wait a second.
00:09:10How long have you known about them?
00:09:12Olivia, you're my daughter. I carried you inside of me for nine months. I gave up everything for you.
00:09:21And as thanks you've been helping your father hide his affair from me, let it go!
00:09:25Clearly, you watch too many soap operas, and they've filled your head with crazy ideas.
00:09:29My own baby calling me crazy.
00:09:31Is that what you think too? That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies? That 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. Let us deal with the thinking.
00:09:52Stick to the housework. As 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!
00:10:12These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and filth.
00:10:17Phil, every 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?
00:10:26For the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid!
00:10:33Have I ever gotten a break? Ever!
00:10:36So, first you're mad about some imaginary affair.
00:10:42Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
00:10:47You're a 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 do you want us to give you a medal?
00:10:57You're right.
00:10:58I 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?
00:11:06At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage!
00:11:09One that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck!
00:11:12My God.
00:11:15How could you say something so hurtful?
00:11:18You want to embarrass yourself?
00:11:20In front of your daughter?
00:11:22Her husband?
00:11:24For 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, I'm the one who wrote all of those books.
00:12:00What, are 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, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:40You burned my manuscripts.
00:12:42I put 25 years of my heart into those.
00:12:45It wasn't Dad, Mom.
00:12:48It was me.
00:12:50And if you go and say anything, I'm going to go and tell the press that you're a liar.
00:12:57Dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House.
00:13:03And if anything happens to his reputation, all of our contracts will be cancelled.
00:13:08And our entire family will take the hit.
00:13:11So this was all about your father becoming CEO.
00:13:15Wake up, mom. This is the real world, not some soap opera.
00:13:19Why can't you just act like any other housewife and pretend it didn't happen?
00:13:24So 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.
00:13:43I 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 going to be back here begging me to take her back.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:06I left some belongings in your suitcase.
00:14:10What do they look like?
00:14:12Oh, they're red as flames.
00:14:14Soft to the touch.
00:14:18You 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.
00:14:31Oh, my God, baby, you look incredible.
00:14:40Years in advance for all that you promised me.
00:14:44Lillianne.
00:14:45My goddess.
00:14:46My muse.
00:14:47My muse.
00:14:49Miss Roy, Mr. Henry's office is over here.
00:15:11Babe, where'd you go?
00:15:16I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.
00:15:20Could she be trying to report our relationship?
00:15:23What?
00:15:27Anne, what a pleasant surprise.
00:15:29What'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, I 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.
00:15:49Thank you, but now it's time to return to its rightful owner.
00:15:54And per your request, I was just getting ready to call Jonathan
00:15:57to talk to him about taking over as CEO.
00:15:59The other reason that I came here today was to tell you to revoke that offer.
00:16:07John and I are getting divorced.
00:16:09He's been cheating on me for God knows how long.
00:16:13With another Anne, Lillian.
00:16:16His real muse, apparently.
00:16:18I've been giving him special treatment because of you.
00:16:22How dare he disrespect you?
00:16:24You know what?
00:16:25I'll fire that asshole right now.
00:16:28And that idiot Lillian.
00:16:30Listen, listen.
00:16:33Calm down.
00:16:35Fine.
00:16:37Listen, I don't want you to fire him.
00:16:40Why not?
00:16:41You 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, Henry, go ahead and announce his position as CEO.
00:16:54But 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.
00:17:12No, 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, I will.
00:17:22Darling, listen.
00:17:24Do not worry.
00:17:25Lily'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, Anne.
00:17:47I am going to show you that the real world
00:17:50is not as simple as you think it is.
00:17:56Henry.
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, even just a little bit, right?
00:18:05Are you getting cold feet?
00:18:07No, I, um...
00:18:09If Jonathan were to have 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 that you put yourself first for once.
00:18:26Thanks, 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 a long time ago.
00:18:34I chose this life, so I need to face those consequences.
00:18:38Let's do like we talked about.
00:18:40I'll keep you updated.
00:18:42Okay.
00:18:45Anne, you're too nice.
00:18:47Mr. Harper, wasn't the woman who just left Mr. Asher's wife?
00:18:56Mrs. Villanova, isn't it still work hours?
00:19:00Go back and set up a meeting with HR.
00:19:02I'm gonna be calling Jonathan Asher and giving him notice about his position in this company.
00:19:06Mr. Harper, Jonathan is our best-selling author.
00:19:10You can't destroy his career over some one-sided statement.
00:19:14What one-sided statement are you talking about?
00:19:17Hmm?
00:19:19I'm gonna be calling him to tell him he'll be the next CEO of this company.
00:19:23Would you call that destroying his career?
00:19:27Oh, my God!
00:19:29What an incredibly wise decision.
00:19:33Why are you so happy about this?
00:19:36Are you and Mr. Asher that close?
00:19:38I...
00:19:40I'm a really big fan of his.
00:19:43So, naturally, I'm really happy for him.
00:19:48You don't even know the real author you're fangirling over is.
00:19:52I need you to hurry up and make that meeting with HR.
00:19:55I'm going to inform Jonathan personally.
00:20:03Hello, my darling.
00:20:05Johnny.
00:20:06I have amazing news.
00:20:08You're about to become the CEO.
00:20:14What did you just say?
00:20:16Roy Publishing House is hiring me as CEO.
00:20:20Yes!
00:20:21I absolutely am.
00:20:23I'm about to prep your meeting with HR.
00:20:25Henry has full speed in you.
00:20:27Anne's nonsense with one ear and out the other.
00:20:35I hope you still remember the promise you made.
00:20:37Once you become the CEO, then I'll become the new Mrs. Asher.
00:20:43Ah, yes. I never go back on my work, my darling.
00:20:47Well, then you better hurry up and clear out Anne's drawers.
00:20:51Because I've got a lot of lingerie to put in them.
00:20:58Your wish is my command.
00:21:08Anne, everything's been prepared.
00:21:10I'll await your instructions.
00:21:13Thank you, Henry.
00:21:18Jonathan.
00:21:20We built this house together from the ground up.
00:21:23We've been through thick and thin together for 25 years.
00:21:27Do you really want to demolish it all?
00:21:30You said I was your life.
00:21:31But then, you turned around and embraced another woman.
00:21:37Was everything a lie?
00:21:41I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my family.
00:21:44But I will not tolerate betrayal.
00:21:47Today, I will tell you the whole truth.
00:21:50It will be your very last chance.
00:22:01What's the meaning of this?
00:22:14Jonathan?
00:22:16It's exactly what you wanted, Anne.
00:22:18We're getting a divorce.
00:22:28Are you sure about this?
00:22:30Oh.
00:22:32I've already signed the papers.
00:22:35So I was willing to try and save our marriage.
00:22:38But you've already written it off.
00:22:40Henry, go ahead and announce his position as CEO.
00:22:43But I will be adding one condition.
00:22:46I'll be taking over as chairwoman again.
00:22:48Therefore, any hiring that's done, such as CEO,
00:22:52will require my approval.
00:22:54Are you in such a hurry to kick me out?
00:22:56What a shame.
00:23:00I was thinking about giving you all a second chance.
00:23:03Oh, stop bluffing it.
00:23:04Your truth is, you could come in here, you could crawl, beg me.
00:23:08I'd never let you back in this house.
00:23:11Mom, it's one thing to throw a tantrum at home,
00:23:14but it's a different thing entirely to cause a scene at the company.
00:23:17Hey, Dad is a public figure.
00:23:18Dad is a public figure.
00:23:19You almost destroyed his career.
00:23:21And you think he's going to be willing to reconcile?
00:23:24Exactly, Anne.
00:23:26You shouldn't have tried to expose Mr. Asher for using a ghostwriter.
00:23:30He might have let you stay and write more books for him.
00:23:33Jonathan, you know deep down inside that without me you will never write another word.
00:23:40Do you really think that I need to rely on writing for a living?
00:23:46Soon the entire company will be mine.
00:23:48So you really think that you'll be unstoppable once you're CEO?
00:23:52Is that why you're in such a hurry to get rid of me?
00:23:55The faithful wife who stood by your side through thick and thin
00:24:00and trade me in for some shiny new toy?
00:24:04What or who I play with is none of your business.
00:24:08I have kept a roof over your head for years.
00:24:11I can forgive your ungratefulness,
00:24:13but I cannot forgive you stabbing me in the back during the most pivotal moment of my career.
00:24:21I mean how am I supposed to stay with such a vile woman by my side?
00:24:25What on earth are you talking about?
00:24:27I have never stabbed you in the back.
00:24:30Without me you would still be an unpublished wannabe
00:24:34and not the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:24:36Your storytelling skills have really gone down the drain.
00:24:40Mom, you should really stop with the soap opera shit.
00:24:43What's next?
00:24:44You're gonna tell us you're a wealthy heiress?
00:24:46You need to stop saying this idiotic stuff or people are gonna think you're a joke.
00:24:51That's right.
00:24:53I'm a joke.
00:24:55A joke for being so blind.
00:24:58For choosing a selfish brood of a man to be my husband like him.
00:25:03For having a thankless daughter like you.
00:25:07For having a pushover for a son-in-law.
00:25:09You're right, Olivia.
00:25:10How could I have spent 25 years of my life catering to you ungrateful liars?
00:25:17I must have been delusional.
00:25:22I'll sign the divorce papers.
00:25:23From now on I have no connection to this family.
00:25:27Wait!
00:25:28Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:29You can't just get a divorce like that.
00:25:31This is a supplemental document.
00:25:33You must agree to its terms.
00:25:34Dad's assets aren't pocket change.
00:25:35You can't just take half.
00:25:36Especially since they'll eventually come to me.
00:25:37How can you be so cold?
00:25:38First, you're kicking me out and now you want me to leave empty here.
00:25:39I'm sorry.
00:25:40I'm sorry.
00:25:41I'm sorry.
00:25:42I'm sorry.
00:25:43I'm sorry.
00:25:44I'm sorry.
00:25:45I'm sorry.
00:25:46I'm sorry.
00:25:47Last time, Olivia.
00:25:48Olivia.
00:25:49Yeah, Olivia, okay.
00:25:50You have to look like this.
00:25:51Olivia, okay.
00:25:52I'm sorry.
00:25:53I'm sorry.
00:25:54This is a divorce like that.
00:25:55This is a supplemental document.
00:25:56You must agree to its terms.
00:25:57Dad's assets aren't pocket change.
00:25:58You can't just take half.
00:25:59Especially since they'll eventually come to me.
00:26:02How can you be so cold?
00:26:04First, you're kicking me out and now you want me to leave empty handed?
00:26:08handed? Olivia, you're my daughter. Don't you have any sympathy for me? I'm not like you, mom.
00:26:16I'm a career woman. Don't take it personally. She always was too emotional. Why does everyone in
00:26:24this family look down on me? I've taken care of you both for 25 years. I've given you everything
00:26:30that I had. Mom, you didn't do shit for 25 years. So what? You cooked us a few meals.
00:26:35You didn't earn a single cent for this family. Dad was the one who consistently worked,
00:26:44enslaved, and earned every penny that was put into this house. Not you. Did you ever stop
00:26:52to think about why Roy Publishing House gave your father a chance? Why they groomed him
00:26:57for all of these years? Well, obviously, because dad is incredibly talented. Dad is about to
00:27:05become the CEO of Roy Publishing House. He'll have stocks worth tens of millions of dollars.
00:27:13And if he even gave half to a housewife like you, he may as well throw all that money in
00:27:21the fire. Jonathan, is this the way you feel too? That you earned everything for this family?
00:27:36I had nothing to do with it. I want to hear you say it yourself.
00:27:41You haven't contributed anything. I'll tell you what. I'll give you a little bit of alimony
00:27:50once you get divorced. But as far as what's in this house, you don't get anything.
00:28:00Roy Publishing House gave you everything. Made you a best-selling author. Gave you this huge house,
00:28:18a fancy car. And you're still saying that it had nothing to do with me.
00:28:23fine. Give me that paper. I'll sign whatever you want.
00:28:30Ann, I knew this would happen. I'll be there soon. Jonathan, Olivia, Ken. The way you've treated me
00:28:58today has destroyed any love that I still had left for this family. But you've also destroyed your
00:29:05futures. Oh, boo-hoo. Here you go again with the soap opera stuff. I think we're done here. Hurry up and
00:29:13leave. Oh, now that must be the CEO right now.
00:29:25God, I bet Henry's coming in person to announce the transfer of power.
00:29:32That old son of a gun, he's never got any patience, does he?
00:29:35See, the CEO himself came in person to notify us.
00:29:40Well, since the CEO is coming with such good news, I suppose you better hurry and let him in.
00:29:47Come quick, Mr. Asher. I think it's for you.
00:29:50So you're Lillian.
00:30:19I'm sorry, have we met?
00:30:22No, but I've seen your noteworthy photos.
00:30:26Lily, well, what brings you here?
00:30:30Yeah, Lily, we weren't expecting you to stop by.
00:30:32Well, of course I had to come by and celebrate with you all.
00:30:37Congratulations on becoming the CEO of the Roy Publishing House.
00:30:41Oh, my God. Congrats, Dad.
00:30:45You've come at just the right time, Lily.
00:30:47Mr. Asher is now finally divorced.
00:30:51You and Dad were meant to be.
00:30:53It's a stroke of fate.
00:30:55Is this true?
00:30:56It's true, honey.
00:30:58I finally severed all times with that miserable true.
00:31:02Then we have two things to celebrate.
00:31:05We can keep the festivities going.
00:31:08Well, that is the best gift any man can get.
00:31:19Lily, from now on, you're a member of the family.
00:31:24You should just move in already.
00:31:27Yes, we've already emptied all the drawers for you.
00:31:30Don't you think you're all celebrating a bit prematurely?
00:31:34Jonathan, do you really think that your CEO now
00:31:36just because your mistress brought you some cheap champagne?
00:31:40That's enough, Anne.
00:31:41I've already told you, Lily is not just some mistress.
00:31:44Oh, that's right.
00:31:46She's a literary agent.
00:31:47And, hmm, so I'm sure that she's here on official business.
00:31:57I think we all know what kind of work she does.
00:32:04Jealous hag!
00:32:07Don't worry, Mr. Asher.
00:32:10Let her say what she wants.
00:32:12I am here on official business.
00:32:14And the truth always prevails.
00:32:18That's right.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:19You're just a junior agent at Roy Publishing, aren't you?
00:32:22Are you even qualified to make this kind of announcement?
00:32:25Because I was under the impression that Henry Harper,
00:32:29the CEO, was the only one with that kind of authority.
00:32:33You stupid housewife!
00:32:35You don't understand what happens in the professional world.
00:32:39The CEO is a very busy man.
00:32:42And so I am entrusted to deliver this announcement.
00:32:47Hmm.
00:32:48Did he really entrust you with this announcement?
00:32:51Well, then, why don't we just go ahead and give him a call to confirm?
00:32:55Mom, stop embarrassing yourself.
00:33:04Why would a housewife like you have the CEO's number?
00:33:08Roy Publishing House has tens of thousands of employees.
00:33:11Do you really expect the CEO to do everything himself?
00:33:15Sweet Lillian is one of his top agents.
00:33:18And she absolutely has the authority to come here and notify us.
00:33:21I wasn't talking to you.
00:33:23You're just starting off.
00:33:26You only have a few clients, don't you, dear?
00:33:28What do you know about how an elite publishing company works?
00:33:31I know more than you do.
00:33:34What do you think real work is?
00:33:36Going out and buying groceries or doing the laundry?
00:33:40Please, just stop, Mom.
00:33:42You're embarrassing yourself.
00:33:43Be gentler to your mother, Olivia.
00:33:45Oh, and, you know, I completely understand where you're coming from.
00:33:52You've been in the house for so long.
00:33:55Of course, you're a little ignorant.
00:33:57I really do take the kitty on you.
00:34:01But now it's time for someone more worthy to take over as one of the house.
00:34:08I'm lucky to have found one.
00:34:12Dad, I'm so happy for you two.
00:34:15With your reputation and Lily's business acumen, you guys are a match made in heaven.
00:34:20Johnny, it's the CEO.
00:34:27He must be checking in to see if you've heard the good news yet.
00:34:31Hurry up, answer it.
00:34:32Yeah, and put it on speaker so someone can hear what the CEO really has to say.
00:34:38Hello, Mr. Harper?
00:34:40Yeah, I told you it was going to be in a meeting with HR.
00:34:43Where the hell do you want off to, you idiot?
00:34:44Hi, Mr. Harper, I'm at Mr. Asher's house.
00:34:55I told you to set up that meeting with HR.
00:34:57Did you skip out in work hours?
00:34:59Didn't you take to inform Mr. Asher?
00:35:01I told you I would personally inform him.
00:35:04You are just an agent.
00:35:06What right do you have doing my job for me?
00:35:10I'm sorry, Mr. Harper.
00:35:12I just thought I'd take the initiative.
00:35:14I'll be there soon.
00:35:15Stay right where you are.
00:35:17Uh, yes, sir.
00:35:26Lily?
00:35:28What's wrong?
00:35:29Yeah, the CEO didn't sound too happy.
00:35:33Nothing's wrong.
00:35:34I was just in such a rush to share the good news.
00:35:38I completely forgot that Mr. Harper actually wanted to personally tell you.
00:35:45So he's actually on his way now.
00:35:46Whoa, whoa.
00:35:47The CEO is personally coming to my house to announce me as his successor?
00:35:53But it's like I said, you didn't have that authority.
00:35:57If the CEO is coming here to congratulate Dad personally, I think he respects him.
00:36:03Of course he does.
00:36:05Your father is a best-selling author and renowned in the industry.
00:36:09It's only fitting that he succeeds as the next CEO.
00:36:14Oh, my, my, my.
00:36:17I think you're all mistaken.
00:36:19You see, the CEO is only coming here because the chairwoman asked him to.
00:36:25Jonathan's appointment as CEO?
00:36:27Well, ultimately, that decision lies with her.
00:36:31What chairwoman?
00:36:32Lily, does Roy Publishing House even have a chairwoman?
00:36:36Not 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 Publishing is me.
00:37:06Drop the act, Mom.
00:37:08Like, do you even know what a chairwoman does?
00:37:11Oh, she probably asked ChatGPT.
00:37:15Anne, please, you've got to stop flaunting your ignorance.
00:37:18When we were younger, we called it naivete.
00:37:20But now that you're old and washed up and haggard, it's just plain foolishness.
00:37:26She probably read so many trashy novels, she can't even keep up with reality anymore.
00:37:31She's stuck in her own fantasy world.
00:37:35That's what it is.
00:37:36She's delusional.
00:37:38Okay, yeah.
00:37:39I can play along with that.
00:37:44Greetings, chairwoman Anne.
00:37:51They're laughing at me now.
00:37:53But soon they'll see.
00:37:54Oh, pardon me, chairwoman Anne.
00:38:15Are you going to reject my appointment as CEO?
00:38:18Are you going to strip me of everything I've ever earned?
00:38:21Are you going to kick me out of Roy Publishing Group?
00:38:24Yes, chairwoman Anne.
00:38:31Are you going to blacklist me from the publishing world and shutter my company?
00:38:36Are you going to make your ungrateful daughter regret everything?
00:38:41Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:38:43Maybe Anne wants to be treated like a queen.
00:38:46Ooh.
00:38:47In which case, I will be your butler and will be your maid.
00:38:53And let us atone for our sins.
00:38:58Oh, and what about me?
00:39:01What would you like me to do?
00:39:03Go ahead and laugh.
00:39:05The CEO will be here soon.
00:39:07He'll confirm whether or not I'm telling the truth.
00:39:10All right.
00:39:11That's enough.
00:39:12Playtime's over.
00:39:13Now, get the hell out of here, or I'm going to remove you myself.
00:39:20Stop!
00:39:27Henry.
00:39:28You old son of a gun.
00:39:30You didn't tell me you're coming over here.
00:39:31My daughter, Olivia.
00:39:35Her husband, Kenneth.
00:39:36And who is that woman over there on your floor?
00:39:39Well, that is my ex.
00:39:41A silly woman.
00:39:42In fact, we were just getting rid of her because she was trying to tarnish my reputation, let alone
00:39:45Roy Publishing House.
00:39:47You're kicking her out?
00:39:48The whole family decided.
00:39:50We support my father.
00:39:51And we won't let anyone tarnish his good name, related or not.
00:40:03That sounds like personal business to me.
00:40:05I'm here to talk strictly about company business, so let'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 of the company, Mr. Harper.
00:40:18Always cutting to the chase.
00:40:19Jonathan, as CEO of Roy Publishing House, I've decided to step down.
00:40:25I will now make my formal succession announcement.
00:40:31I, Henry Harper, due to personal circumstances, stepped down as CEO of Roy Publishing Company.
00:40:38If you are willing to secede me for this position, Mr. Asher, I'll need you to sign these documents.
00:40:46Oh, Henry.
00:40:47My friend.
00:40:52Thank you for trusting me.
00:40:56Congrats, Dad.
00:41:02Johnny, the moment we've been waiting for is finally here.
00:41:06Thank you for coming over so quickly and for shedding some light on the truth.
00:41:11Just now, someone was spreading a rumor that you don't have the ultimate decision-making power,
00:41:18and that they made up some ridiculous chairwoman position.
00:41:22Such a trashy rumor.
00:41:24In all my years at the company, you are the only one with the absolute authority.
00:41:29I mean, have we ever had a chairwoman?
00:41:3325 years ago, the chairwoman stepped down from her position and gave me full authority to this whole company.
00:41:44Did you hear that, Mom?
00:41:46This is real life, not some soap opera.
00:41:48Miss chairwoman, it's time to wake up, honey.
00:41:53Stop laughing.
00:41:59Johnny, we need to be the perfect hosts to Mr. Harper and get our unwelcome guest out.
00:42:06Yes, darling, you are correct.
00:42:09Mr. Harper, forgive us for this unsightly 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 this company, there was no active chairwoman.
00:42:30But as of today, as of right now, I am reinstating the chairwoman,
00:42:34who will have total control over the Roy Publishing House Company.
00:42:38And you must all obey that chairwoman's orders, including the CEO.
00:42:45What?
00:42:48Henry, I don't understand.
00:42:49Why the change of plans?
00:42:51Where did this new chairwoman come from?
00:42:53I haven't heard a thing about her.
00:42:57Unless...
00:42:59No.
00:43:03That'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, you've already guessed who it is.
00:43:17That's right.
00:43:17Ms. Anne Roy will be reinstated as the chairwoman of this company.
00:43:25Madam chairwoman.
00:43:35Welcome back, chairwoman.
00:43:36Ann isn't qualified for this.
00:43:44Wait, Ann is completely unqualified for this position.
00:43:47Is Roy publishing a joke?
00:43:49Are you telling me that the woman that was baking pies in the kitchen yesterday
00:43:54is a chairwoman of a company worth billions?
00:43:57Oh 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 who cooks and cleans all day.
00:44:07She'll ruin the company.
00:44:09Silence.
00:44:10The Roy family owns Roy Publishing Company.
00:44:13And it's only natural that Ann, the sole heiress to the company, become the chairwoman.
00:44:19None of you have any right to question her.
00:44:22What?
00:44:23What?
00:44:31Wait.
00:44:31Is my wife of 25 years, the woman who cooked and cleaned for me, is the sole heiress of
00:44:41the Roy family fortune?
00:44:43Jonathan, I told you you'd live to regret the way you treated me today.
00:44:50Mom, how could you hide this from us for so long?
00:44:53We're your own flesh and blood.
00:44:55Were you afraid of splitting your assets with us?
00:44:58Don't use your twisted logic to put words in my mouth.
00:45:05The only reason I hid my identity was to protect your father's fragile ego.
00:45:10Jonathan, when I first met you, you were just a nameless, aspiring writer.
00:45:15But I fell in love with your passion.
00:45:17We built this life together.
00:45:19I supported you from the sidelines every step of the way and helped you reach the position
00:45:24you're in now.
00:45:24I looked forward to the day when I could tell you my true identity, when you would finally
00:45:30become the CEO.
00:45:32I never thought that you could be so cruel to the loyal, loving wife who stayed by your
00:45:39side and made you into what you are.
00:45:42It took me 25 years to see your true nature.
00:45:46I feel like a fool.
00:45:47But I see it now.
00:45:50Henry.
00:45:51Yes, Chairwoman Roy.
00:45:53What would you like me to do?
00:45:58Give them their wish.
00:46:00From this day forward, I will have no connection to the Ashers.
00:46:04Our relationships will remain strictly business.
00:46:08Jonathan, I hereby rescind your position as CEO to Roy Publishing House.
00:46:14It cannot be led by a fraud.
00:46:17Furthermore, this company is cancelling all contracts with you.
00:46:20Your book contracts, cancelled.
00:46:23Your advances, rescinded.
00:46:25We expect full repayment.
00:46:28Lillianne, your depraved morals do not align with our company values.
00:46:32You built your career by seducing a married man.
00:46:35You're fired.
00:46:37In addition, my personal evaluation will be circulated throughout the industry.
00:46:41You will never work in publishing again.
00:46:44Olivia.
00:46:45I'm your daughter.
00:46:58From now on, you are not allowed to use Roy Publishing House's name for personal gain.
00:47:04If you try to leverage our relationship for future contracts, I will bury your company in lawsuits.
00:47:10Mom, if you cut me off, I'll go bankrupt within a year.
00:47:13Do you really want to ruin your only daughter?
00:47:17Please, Anne.
00:47:18Olivia is your flesh and blood.
00:47:20Why are you treating her like this?
00:47:21If she wasn't my daughter, I would have sued her already.
00:47:24Instead, I am generously giving her the opportunity to prove that she is the self-made businesswoman she proclaims to be.
00:47:33Olivia, I took care of you for 25 years.
00:47:36I'm not going to spoil you any longer.
00:47:39Mom, you're going to 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 a professional relationship!
00:47:49Please tell her to have mercy on me!
00:47:51Anne.
00:47:55Don't tell me you have the audacity to keep defending your mistress.
00:47:59What?
00:48:01I'm...
00:48:01I won't plead on their behalf, but...
00:48:04Anne, I'm just hurt that our family has come to this.
00:48:08If you had told the truth, it never would have gotten to this point.
00:48:11I just wanted to grow old with you.
00:48:13I just want to live my life with you.
00:48:14You can take your fake feelings and shove them.
00:48:18This faithful husband act, it disgusts me.
00:48:21Did you forget about this little thing that you did, hmm?
00:48:33How about these, hmm?
00:48:35Did you forget about these?
00:48:37How dare you say you love me with the same mouth that kisses your mistress?
00:48:47Even thinking about growing old with someone like you makes me sick.
00:48:53I'll say it one last time.
00:48:56From this day forward, this family and I are through.
00:49:02And this is Asher.
00:49:04From now on, you will refer to me as Chairwoman or Miss Roy.
00:49:09I'm done for.
00:49:35My career in the publishing industry is completely ruined.
00:49:39Look, baby, just...
00:49:41Jonathan!
00:49:42We are completely out of money.
00:49:46And our careers.
00:49:47What are we going to do?
00:49:51Dad, you have to help me!
00:49:53All of my contracts have been cancelled!
00:49:54The debt collectors are already banging down my door!
00:50:00Dad!
00:50:01What are we going to do?
00:50:02Hurry up and think of something!
00:50:04Stop!
00:50:12It's alright.
00:50:13I'll then speak.
00:50:17Anne, we have been family for a long time.
00:50:22How can you be so cruel to us?
00:50:28Lillian and I, we are co-workers.
00:50:29We get flirted a little bit.
00:50:31That is it.
00:50:32Olivia is your daughter.
00:50:34You birthed her.
00:50:36What, you're just going to push us aside for some silly misunderstanding?
00:50:39How can you live with yourself?
00:50:41How dare you put blame on Anne?
00:50:43She sacrificed years of her life taking care of you.
00:50:46Now your little mistress and daughter are trying to make a plan to kick her out of the life she built.
00:50:50Don't you have any conscience?
00:50:54I promise you that if you do anything to hurt Anne, I will make sure that you pay.
00:51:02Understand?
00:51:02Now, don't worry.
00:51:07I've got to make sure the publishing house is going to drop you.
00:51:11And if you and the people here want to cause any more disturbances, I'll be forced to call security.
00:51:16We are already leaving.
00:51:21We are already leaving.
00:51:22We are already leaving.
00:51:52Henry, did I go too far?
00:51:59And you've done everything for them.
00:52:01It's them who let you down.
00:52:11And to get rid of Jonathan's influence,
00:52:15I think we should have a board meeting to announce your return.
00:52:18I agree.
00:52:19And then you need to go public and let them know that you were his ghostwriter.
00:52:23And get your copyrights back.
00:52:28Let me think about it.
00:52:29Well, the Novell Foundation already called and they said he's the frontrunner to win this year.
00:52:32We cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses.
00:52:35It's time to take back what's yours.
00:52:37Henry, I said just give me some time to think.
00:52:41And you're too nice. You might give in again, but Jonathan won't.
00:52:49What kind of a psychopath hides their identity for decades?
00:52:53You know what? I bet she did this just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us.
00:52:58She was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday, but now she's a chairwoman of a top publishing company?
00:53:03This must be a joke.
00:53:10Oh, God.
00:53:12Hold your horses. We can still turn this around.
00:53:14Anne is just a housewife.
00:53:17She's got no experience. There's no way she can handle the position of chairwoman.
00:53:21Surely the company must be falling apart by now.
00:53:24What are you planning?
00:53:26Well, I've received an invitation from the Nobel Prize Foundation.
00:53:36You two are looking at the future winner of a Nobel Prize in literature.
00:53:45And when I take the stage and give my acceptance speech, I am going to announce that Anne and Henry are having a scandalous affair.
00:53:55And when their reputations are completely destroyed and the company stocks crash, the board members are going to be begging me to take over.
00:54:06And your decision to reverse Jonathan's appointment to CEO has already affected this company's stocks.
00:54:23We understand the Roy family holds the majority of shares, but you're still responsible for the rest of the shareholders.
00:54:32We members of the board wish for you to resign as a chairwoman.
00:54:40You're trying to fire Anne? Is this because of Jonathan's meddling? Disgusting little man.
00:54:45The revenue from Mr. Asher's books accounts for about 40% of this company's profits.
00:54:52Additionally, since he is poised to win the Nobel Prize, his market value is about to skyrocket soon.
00:55:01We cannot lose a cash cow like Jonathan Asher.
00:55:06Ms. Roy must make up for this loss.
00:55:14I'll take back the copyrights.
00:55:18How is that possible?
00:55:22Who in their right mind would ever hand over a golden egg to their ex-wife?
00:55:31I am more than just Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:55:35I am Anne Roy.
00:55:37I have achieved everything that I have ever set my mind to.
00:55:40And I have done so without relying on Jonathan for a single penny.
00:55:43Hmm.
00:55:44I admire your courage, but our trust comes with a price.
00:55:50Okay.
00:55:52Sign this agreement stating that if you do not get back the copyrights, all of your stock holdings will be turned over to us.
00:56:10Will be turned over to us.
00:56:15Anne, you can't do that.
00:56:16I, Anne Roy, hereby agree to the terms of this agreement.
00:56:23In 24 hours, I will take back the copyrights.
00:56:26If I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entitlement.
00:56:29I, Anne Roy, hereby agree to the terms of this agreement.
00:56:39In 24 hours, I will take back the copyrights.
00:56:42If I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares.
00:56:46It's a deal.
00:56:58We look forward to the results.
00:57:03Anne, that was foolish.
00:57:13Jonathan's an egotistical little man.
00:57:16He'll stop at nothing to save his reputation.
00:57:19He's never going to admit that you were his ghostwriter.
00:57:21How are you going to get those copyrights back?
00:57:23I have the evidence in my possession.
00:57:26And also, I have a backup plan.
00:57:29That's where you come in.
00:57:31Tomorrow is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
00:57:34I'll show Jonathan what a real regret looks like.
00:57:38I'm waiting on the lab results.
00:57:48I'll be waiting to hear from you.
00:58:08I'll be waiting for you.
00:58:25Jonathan Asher?
00:58:27I knew it was you.
00:58:30Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.
00:58:35Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been assigned quite yet.
00:58:38I'm still just a nominee.
00:58:39Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.
00:58:46Oh, my God.
00:58:48Dad, did you propose already?
00:58:55Congratulations, Mr. Asher.
00:58:56I see you wasted no time.
00:58:59I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan.
00:59:02But spending a million dollars on her ring is a little over the top, don't you think?
00:59:07Nothing.
00:59:08In my humble opinion, only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.
00:59:15You two really make a beautiful couple.
00:59:19By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing.
00:59:22Maybe in the future we could work together?
00:59:25You can speak to me about any future book deals.
00:59:28I'm also Jonathan's agent.
00:59:32Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media.
00:59:36Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.
00:59:40Today you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.
00:59:43During my acceptance speech, I am going to announce the scandalous affair of Anne and Henry,
00:59:51and I'm going to knock those two bastards right off their highways.
01:00:01Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:04Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.
01:00:08Now, for tonight's main event, please join me in welcoming this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature,
01:00:18the author of the critically acclaimed novel The Burning Bush,
01:00:22Mr. Jonathan Asher.
01:00:26Please, come to the podium.
01:00:35I'm going to be like, baby.
01:00:37I have to see what I'm doing.
01:00:46Excuse me.
01:00:48Jonathan Asher is a fraud.
01:01:03Who is this woman?
01:01:05What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious event?
01:01:07Oh, my God.
01:01:09I know her.
01:01:11That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
01:01:13Mom, what are you doing here?
01:01:18This is the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.
01:01:21I'm warning you, don't start anything.
01:01:24Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
01:01:30Ah, I know what she's doing.
01:01:33Jonathan, she got all dressed up so she could barge in here to this event and beg for me to take her back.
01:01:40In all honesty, a spatula and an apron better suits you.
01:01:47And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you,
01:01:52she's sorely mistaken.
01:01:57Babe, you are too sweet.
01:02:01Oh, in case you haven't heard, your husband...
01:02:08Oh, no.
01:02:10Your ex-husband has already proposed to me.
01:02:15Just days ago, you were begging to grow old with me, and now you've already proposed to another woman?
01:02:21Talk about jumping the gun.
01:02:23Now that I'm free of you, you filthy gold digger,
01:02:26I've decided to move on with my life.
01:02:29Start a new one.
01:02:31On our first day officially together,
01:02:34he gave me this million-dollar diamond ring.
01:02:38What did you get?
01:02:39After 25 years.
01:02:41Hmm?
01:02:42A little plastic hotel pen.
01:02:48Go ahead and laugh.
01:02:49Once I take back everything that belongs to me,
01:02:52you won't be laughing anymore.
01:02:56Babe, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.
01:03:00Your husband, your child,
01:03:03the home that you put your whole life and soul into,
01:03:07it's all mine.
01:03:10Everything that belongs to you?
01:03:13Oh, come on, Anne.
01:03:14Good luck with that.
01:03:16We don't owe you anything.
01:03:19Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.
01:03:23Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.
01:03:25But it's too late.
01:03:26Even without you,
01:03:28Mr. Asher's reputation will let us dominate the publishing world.
01:03:33Are you sure about that?
01:03:36Don't try to bluff, Mom.
01:03:38Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar of Roy Publishing House.
01:03:41Ever since you kicked out your biggest author,
01:03:43now you're going to be the laughingstock of the entire publishing world.
01:03:48Miss Roy,
01:03:48you really shouldn't have gone against us.
01:03:50Your biggest mistake was
01:03:52believing you were more than just a
01:03:54sheltered housewife.
01:03:58So because I was a housewife,
01:04:00you all think it's okay to humiliate me?
01:04:03I mean, look around, Mom.
01:04:05Everyone's here because they believe in Dad.
01:04:08His reputation,
01:04:10his prestige.
01:04:12They all just want to revel in his success.
01:04:16You know the company can't survive without him.
01:04:21So you're all here to grab a piece of
01:04:24Jonathan Asher's glorious reputation.
01:04:28Well, there's just one little problem.
01:04:31It's all fake.
01:04:32What does she mean by that?
01:04:39Oh, she's a lonely, vengeful ex-wife
01:04:43trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.
01:04:47How pathetic.
01:04:50I'm guessing that she neglected her husband
01:04:52during their marriage.
01:04:53And now that she's tossed aside,
01:04:55she's finally regretting it.
01:04:57What an ignorant woman.
01:05:01Jonathan, did you forget
01:05:03how your books were actually written?
01:05:06The acknowledgements you wrote at the front.
01:05:08The acknowledgements were written for me.
01:05:11I'm Jonathan's real muse.
01:05:14After he ditched his basic
01:05:16or in-house wife like you,
01:05:18now Jonathan can be inspired
01:05:20to write even better novels.
01:05:25Oh, it's real muse.
01:05:29That's beautiful.
01:05:30Did you inspire him
01:05:31with all of your lacy underwear?
01:05:36You think you can humiliate me?
01:05:39Look at me.
01:05:40I'm gorgeous, seductive,
01:05:44like a luxury purse.
01:05:46You're just a filthy kitchen rat.
01:05:50Jonathan, it seems that you haven't told
01:05:58your new fiancée the truth yet.
01:06:00But don't worry.
01:06:01I can do that right now.
01:06:03The truth is that the copyrights
01:06:06to Jonathan Asher's novels
01:06:08do not belong to him.
01:06:17That's right.
01:06:18The copyrights were transferred to me.
01:06:22We wanted to make sure
01:06:24you didn't get one cent from the royalties.
01:06:26You transferred the copyrights
01:06:28to your mistress?
01:06:29I've known you for 25 years
01:06:31and in all those 25 years
01:06:32you were a stingy miser.
01:06:34Lily's my true love.
01:06:36And she's now my fiancée,
01:06:38so everything that belongs to me
01:06:39belongs to her.
01:06:41Mr. Asher,
01:06:42you're a real romantic.
01:06:43And it was all my idea, Mom.
01:06:47Now that we kicked you out of the house,
01:06:49don't even think
01:06:50about coming for our wealth.
01:06:54You hit me?
01:06:58I can't believe you just hit me!
01:07:00I should have taught you a lesson
01:07:02a long time ago.
01:07:03Then maybe you would have grown
01:07:04into a person who knows
01:07:05right from wrong.
01:07:07Get off me.
01:07:08Jonathan.
01:07:11You, you're the boldest liar of them all.
01:07:13You know damn well
01:07:14that those copyrights belong to me.
01:07:18You have no right
01:07:19to transfer them to your whore!
01:07:24Jonathan.
01:07:25What is she talking about?
01:07:27Oh, God, don't...
01:07:28Didn't you write
01:07:29all of your own novels?
01:07:30Don't believe some ravings
01:07:32of a madwoman, darling.
01:07:33This is your last warning.
01:07:38If you don't get
01:07:39the hell out of here,
01:07:41you are gonna regret it.
01:07:44I'm not going anywhere.
01:07:47Today, I'm exposing the truth.
01:07:51Jonathan.
01:07:52Hmm?
01:07:52What in the world
01:07:54is she talking about?
01:07:57Here it goes.
01:08:03Good evening, everyone.
01:08:25As tonight has been so
01:08:27inconveniently
01:08:29hijacked
01:08:31by this woman,
01:08:33I suppose
01:08:33it's appropriate
01:08:34to introduce you.
01:08:36Everyone,
01:08:37this is my ex-wife,
01:08:38Anne.
01:08:39For 25 years,
01:08:41I have worked
01:08:43like a dog
01:08:44to provide you
01:08:46with a life
01:08:46of luxury.
01:08:48Meanwhile,
01:08:49she
01:08:51and former
01:08:53CEO
01:08:54of Roy Publishing House,
01:08:57Mr. Henry Harper,
01:08:59have been having
01:09:01a sordid affair.
01:09:04Since then,
01:09:06the two
01:09:07have conspired
01:09:09to oust
01:09:10myself,
01:09:12my lovely daughter
01:09:13Olivia,
01:09:14out of the company
01:09:15and blacklist us
01:09:17from the industry.
01:09:18She's hiding
01:09:23Harper's mistress?
01:09:24Betraying her husband
01:09:25and her daughter?
01:09:27How shameless.
01:09:29I never wanted
01:09:29to expose you
01:09:30like this, Anne.
01:09:31Do it all
01:09:32our years together.
01:09:33But today,
01:09:34you took it too far.
01:09:35Coming in here,
01:09:37tarnishing
01:09:37my reputation.
01:09:39So don't blame me
01:09:41for exposing
01:09:42your secret affair
01:09:43to the press.
01:09:45You brought this
01:09:45on yourself.
01:09:46Jonathan!
01:09:49How dare you
01:09:50try and twist
01:09:51the facts like this?
01:09:52Have you no shame?
01:09:54You shouldn't
01:09:54have come here today.
01:09:56Now the whole world
01:09:57knows
01:09:58you're a cheating
01:09:59slut.
01:10:00Who's gonna believe
01:10:01your empty
01:10:02accusations
01:10:03now?
01:10:05So,
01:10:05if I got this right,
01:10:07the CEO
01:10:07and chairwoman
01:10:08of an elite
01:10:09publishing house
01:10:10had an affair
01:10:11and then
01:10:12ousted you
01:10:13from the company
01:10:13as revenge
01:10:14for uncovering it?
01:10:15this is
01:10:18a huge
01:10:19spilt.
01:10:20Once the news
01:10:21breaks,
01:10:22Roy Publishing House's
01:10:23stocks are
01:10:24going to
01:10:25plummet.
01:10:27What are you
01:10:27gonna tell
01:10:28the board members
01:10:29then?
01:10:33I see you've
01:10:34got it all
01:10:35planned out.
01:10:36You're willing
01:10:36to tell outright
01:10:37lies about me
01:10:38to destroy me
01:10:40and all just
01:10:40for money?
01:10:41You need to
01:10:41understand
01:10:42that ruining
01:10:43you
01:10:44is easier
01:10:45than lifting
01:10:45my pen.
01:10:46This
01:10:47is what
01:10:48you need
01:10:49to learn
01:10:50your place.
01:10:51What happened
01:10:51to you?
01:10:53You're a monster.
01:10:54Just admit
01:10:55that you lost,
01:10:56Anne.
01:10:58I could destroy
01:10:59you right now,
01:11:00but I won't.
01:11:01Given our years
01:11:02together,
01:11:02if you can
01:11:03shut your mouth
01:11:04and be the
01:11:05subservient housewife
01:11:06that you once were,
01:11:07I may
01:11:07take it easy on you.
01:11:09You think
01:11:16you're so clever.
01:11:17You disgust me.
01:11:20Acclaimed guest,
01:11:22I came here today
01:11:23to expose
01:11:24a dirty lie.
01:11:26All of
01:11:26Jonathan Asher's
01:11:27novels were
01:11:28actually written
01:11:29by me.
01:11:33I,
01:11:34his wife
01:11:34of 25 years
01:11:35and the true
01:11:36author of all
01:11:37of his books.
01:11:39This woman
01:11:40is crazy.
01:11:43Ever since
01:11:43I divorced her,
01:11:45she's been having
01:11:45a mental breakdown.
01:11:47She is
01:11:47hallucinating
01:11:48that she wrote
01:11:50all my novels.
01:11:51The truth is,
01:11:53she can't accept
01:11:54the fact
01:11:54that her life,
01:11:57it's amounted
01:11:57to nothing.
01:11:59I can testify
01:12:00to that.
01:12:00My dad wrote
01:12:01all those books.
01:12:02That's the absolute
01:12:03truth.
01:12:03Exactly,
01:12:04exactly.
01:12:05Mr. Asher
01:12:05is the author.
01:12:06Of course,
01:12:07Jonathan wrote
01:12:08all of his own
01:12:08novels.
01:12:10I'm the inspiration
01:12:11for his masterpieces.
01:12:13That's right,
01:12:14my darling.
01:12:15I wrote
01:12:15every single line.
01:12:18Every single line
01:12:23was written for you?
01:12:25You're delusional.
01:12:26You lunatic.
01:12:28You don't have
01:12:28a shred of evidence.
01:12:30Who's gonna believe
01:12:31your empty accusations?
01:12:32Oh, you'd like
01:12:33to see the evidence.
01:12:35If you can't
01:12:36present evidence,
01:12:37then this
01:12:38counts as defamation,
01:12:40and I'll put you
01:12:41in prison.
01:12:43Miss Roy?
01:12:44You should leave.
01:12:45Otherwise,
01:12:46we're gonna have
01:12:47to teach you
01:12:47a lesson.
01:12:48I've already said
01:12:49I'm not leaving
01:12:50until I take back
01:12:51everything the Asher's
01:12:52took from me.
01:12:54Everything
01:12:55we took
01:12:57from you.
01:12:59Clean this up,
01:13:23housewife!
01:13:23Maybe it'll help
01:13:29you remember
01:13:29your place.
01:13:33You know,
01:13:34second thought.
01:13:36Why don't you
01:13:36come on over here?
01:13:37Crawl.
01:13:38Shine my shoes
01:13:39like you used to,
01:13:41and then maybe
01:13:41I can get you
01:13:42some work
01:13:42as our new maid.
01:13:47Look at Johnny
01:13:47trying to help
01:13:48you find a job.
01:13:49You could be a maid
01:13:50for everyone here.
01:13:51Go on.
01:14:00Show them all
01:14:00how good you are
01:14:01at cleaning.
01:14:02Yeah.
01:14:03Look at her.
01:14:03She really is
01:14:04having a mental breakdown.
01:14:06If you ask me,
01:14:07she should have
01:14:07cut her losses
01:14:08and left way earlier.
01:14:10Cleaning up messes
01:14:11like this
01:14:12is all you're good for.
01:14:14Dressing up,
01:14:15trying to steal
01:14:15everybody's attention,
01:14:16it doesn't suit you.
01:14:17Actually,
01:14:23being the center
01:14:24of attention
01:14:25suits me just fine.
01:14:27But you're right,
01:14:27I am good at cleaning.
01:14:29And since this place
01:14:30is absolutely filthy,
01:14:32I'm not opposed
01:14:32to doing a big cleanup.
01:14:38Wow.
01:14:39She's really pulling
01:14:40off that filthy
01:14:41housekeeper look.
01:14:45What the fuck?
01:14:52You fucking crazy woman!
01:14:58I, Anne Roy,
01:15:00stand before you today
01:15:01reclaiming everything
01:15:03that belongs to me.
01:15:04I am taking back
01:15:06every single thing
01:15:07that I have sacrificed
01:15:08over the past
01:15:08two and a half decades
01:15:10and nothing less.
01:15:13How dare she attack
01:15:14tonight's guest of honor?
01:15:16She's really lost her mind.
01:15:18Mom, what the hell?
01:15:19How could you
01:15:20splash that shit
01:15:20all over them?
01:15:21She's always been like this.
01:15:23A boulder shrew!
01:15:25Your dirty secret.
01:15:27Tomorrow,
01:15:27it's gonna hit
01:15:28the front headlines
01:15:29and you deserve it.
01:15:30Not only are you
01:15:31an adulterer,
01:15:32but you stole the stocks
01:15:33that rightfully belong
01:15:34to myself and Olivia.
01:15:36Then you come here
01:15:38to ruin
01:15:39the Nobel Prize ceremony.
01:15:41I'll testify
01:15:42on Dad's behalf.
01:15:43You're a cheater
01:15:44and a thief.
01:15:45You're really screwed up
01:15:46now, Miss Roy.
01:15:47The negative press
01:15:48is gonna absolutely
01:15:50ruin Roy Publishing House.
01:15:54Now, Jonathan,
01:15:57you have deluded
01:15:58even yourself.
01:16:00You forget that
01:16:01everything you possess
01:16:02is built on lies.
01:16:04Stop fighting.
01:16:05You don't have
01:16:07any evidence.
01:16:08You can't take me down
01:16:09with your empty aggregation.
01:16:11That's where you're wrong,
01:16:12dear husband.
01:16:13I do have evidence
01:16:14and I'm going to show it
01:16:16to everyone right now.
01:16:23Inside this box
01:16:24are the original manuscripts
01:16:26for all of my novels.
01:16:29Oh, my God.
01:16:30The original manuscripts?
01:16:32If she's telling the truth,
01:16:34this is huge news.
01:16:36No.
01:16:37No.
01:16:37She...
01:16:37You're lying.
01:16:39You're lying.
01:16:40I burned your manuscripts.
01:16:42I burned every single page
01:16:43in that entire house.
01:16:44I know.
01:16:45You have nothing.
01:16:48Johnny,
01:16:49what did you just say?
01:16:50I said...
01:16:52I said there...
01:16:52There are no...
01:16:53There's no such thing
01:16:54as original manuscripts.
01:16:56You're forging evidence now
01:16:57and I'm going to sue you.
01:16:58That's right.
01:16:59They must be forged.
01:17:00Stop lying,
01:17:02Miss Roy.
01:17:02Are you sure
01:17:03you burned everything?
01:17:05What if a few pages
01:17:06were left for me?
01:17:08Right, Ken?
01:17:09No.
01:17:10No way.
01:17:11No.
01:17:11We were there.
01:17:12You were all there.
01:17:12We burned everything.
01:17:13You saw.
01:17:13Shut up,
01:17:18you fucking idiot.
01:17:20Jonathan,
01:17:21what's really going on here?
01:17:24Did she really write
01:17:25all the novels?
01:17:26She doesn't listen
01:17:26to that delusional nonsense.
01:17:28She's taking shots
01:17:29in the dark.
01:17:31Yeah.
01:17:32What's in that box?
01:17:33Cookie recipes?
01:17:34I know you're trying
01:17:35to use it as evidence,
01:17:36but we won't fool
01:17:37that easily.
01:17:38That box is probably
01:17:39empty for all we know.
01:17:41Since you all
01:17:42still doubt me,
01:17:42why don't I open it
01:17:44and show everyone?
01:17:53What are those?
01:17:55Little scraps
01:17:56for your silly little
01:17:57crafting projects?
01:18:01I told you
01:18:02I didn't save anything.
01:18:04We lived with my mother
01:18:05for 25 years.
01:18:08She's just a desperate,
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 housewife
01:18:15write masterpieces
01:18:17like Mr. Asher?
01:18:18And she almost
01:18:18fooled us all.
01:18:19Looks like she's
01:18:20all bark and no bite.
01:18:24You've crashed
01:18:25my award ceremony.
01:18:26You slandered my reputation
01:18:28and you don't have
01:18:29a shred of evidence.
01:18:30All you've got
01:18:31are your empty accusations.
01:18:33So don't blame me
01:18:34for sending you
01:18:35for sending you
01:18:35straight to jail.
01:18:41Security!
01:18:42Get this woman!
01:18:46Wait!
01:18:49Wait, wait, wait!
01:18:51This is part of the
01:18:52manuscript
01:18:52of the burning bush!
01:18:54It looks like
01:19:01written on all
01:19:02these scraps of papers
01:19:03are parts of
01:19:03the original manuscripts
01:19:05from all of
01:19:06Mr. Asher's
01:19:07award-winning novels!
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 twist!
01:19:15Johnny,
01:19:17please explain
01:19:18those manuscripts
01:19:19scrap!
01:19:19Those are my
01:19:25manuscript scraps.
01:19:26I, you know,
01:19:27have this funny habit
01:19:28where I take notes
01:19:29whenever inspiration
01:19:30strikes me.
01:19:32That's right!
01:19:34Those are my
01:19:35dad's manuscripts.
01:19:36His writing style
01:19:37is unconventional.
01:19:43Jonathan,
01:19:44since you admit
01:19:45that these are
01:19:46the original manuscripts,
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 relish
01:19:55the opportunity
01:19:56to prove you wrong.
01:19:57But everybody knows
01:19:59that takes
01:20:00a forensic expert.
01:20:02No fraud
01:20:03would agree to that.
01:20:05Mom,
01:20:06you're grasping
01:20:07at straws.
01:20:08Just let it go.
01:20:11Hurry up
01:20:12and throw her out!
01:20:14Actually,
01:20:15we have
01:20:17a forensic
01:20:18handwriting expert
01:20:19here
01:20:20one of our
01:20:21honored guests.
01:20:22Perhaps
01:20:23they could do
01:20:24the handwriting comparison.
01:20:32The results
01:20:33of the restoration
01:20:33just came in.
01:20:34It looks like
01:20:35we were able to find
01:20:36what you were looking for.
01:20:37Yeah.
01:20:50That's great.
01:20:52I gotta run.
01:20:52Thank you so much.
01:20:53The results of the restoration
01:21:18just came out.
01:21:19Good.
01:21:20I'll be waiting.
01:21:21Well,
01:21:21I hope that was
01:21:22your little lover
01:21:23rushing over to help you.
01:21:24If so,
01:21:25it'll be easier
01:21:25to put you both in jail.
01:21:26Are you so sure
01:21:27that I'm the one
01:21:28getting arrested?
01:21:29Oh,
01:21:29stop bluffing.
01:21:31Stop bluffing, Mom.
01:21:32Soon,
01:21:33you'll have nothing
01:21:34to laugh about.
01:21:35Those little
01:21:36scrapped paper
01:21:37don't prove
01:21:38anything.
01:21:40You brought this
01:21:40upon yourself,
01:21:41Anne.
01:21:42You used to have
01:21:42a luxurious life
01:21:44being taken care of,
01:21:45but your stubborn,
01:21:47jealous little heart
01:21:48has cost you
01:21:49everything.
01:21:50You used to have
01:21:51a sweet husband,
01:21:53a loving family,
01:21:54big house,
01:21:55nice car.
01:21:56I could go on.
01:21:58You were even
01:21:59the heiress
01:22:00to an elite
01:22:01publishing company.
01:22:03Roy Publishing
01:22:04was at its peak
01:22:05when Mr. Asher
01:22:06was set to become
01:22:07CEO.
01:22:09But now,
01:22:11your stock,
01:22:13both professionally
01:22:16and personally.
01:22:17The results
01:22:23of the handwriting
01:22:24analysis are out.
01:22:29According to
01:22:30this analysis,
01:22:31the handwriting
01:22:32on the manuscripts
01:22:33of the Burning Bush
01:22:34and the other
01:22:3516 novels
01:22:36all belong to
01:22:38Anne Roy.
01:22:42You only burned
01:22:48the manuscripts
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 served
01:22:58this family
01:22:58as a dedicated
01:23:00wife and mother.
01:23:04Oh my God,
01:23:05this is so exciting.
01:23:06I think I'm having
01:23:07a heart attack.
01:23:08This proves nothing.
01:23:11Anyone could have
01:23:12copied dad's books
01:23:12down on sticky notes.
01:23:17Those manuscripts
01:23:18were written
01:23:18on receipts,
01:23:20greeting cards,
01:23:20newspaper margins.
01:23:23All of them
01:23:23clearly dated
01:23:24spanning the course
01:23:26of two and a half
01:23:27decades.
01:23:30Johnny,
01:23:31you can't let her
01:23:32do this.
01:23:33You have to explain.
01:23:38Don't oversell yourself.
01:23:40All those menial
01:23:41house tasks
01:23:42you did
01:23:42back home
01:23:43were just like
01:23:45you.
01:23:47Worthless.
01:23:57I'll be there
01:23:58as soon as I can,
01:23:59Anne.
01:23:59look at you.
01:24:15You're so emotionally
01:24:17unstable that you're
01:24:19gonna cry over a bunch
01:24:20of scraps of paper.
01:24:21You are a stay-at-home
01:24:24housewife.
01:24:26You've had nothing
01:24:27but time to sit
01:24:28and doodle
01:24:28and copy down
01:24:29my manuscripts.
01:24:30What,
01:24:30you think this proves
01:24:31anything?
01:24:31You could have been
01:24:32just copying my novels
01:24:33before they're even
01:24:34published.
01:24:35He has a point
01:24:36and
01:24:37must have secretly
01:24:38copied down
01:24:39Jonathan's manuscript.
01:24:40mom is clearly
01:24:43crazy obsessed
01:24:44with dad.
01:24:45Emphasis on the
01:24:46crazy.
01:24:47She probably
01:24:47copied down
01:24:48his manuscript
01:24:48whenever she had
01:24:49time.
01:24:50I've seen her do
01:24:51it with my own
01:24:52two eyes.
01:24:53Oh,
01:24:54that's what it was.
01:24:55Anything makes
01:24:56sense now.
01:24:57What a psychotic
01:24:58woman.
01:24:59She's trying to
01:25:00ruin him
01:25:00because she
01:25:01can't have him.
01:25:02Do you hear
01:25:07that,
01:25:07Ann?
01:25:09You thought
01:25:09you were so clever.
01:25:13Now,
01:25:13get down
01:25:14on your knees.
01:25:16Polish my shoes
01:25:17till they sparkle.
01:25:19You made
01:25:20your mess,
01:25:22housewife.
01:25:24You have no
01:25:29idea how badly
01:25:30you'll regret this.
01:25:31And hold on.
01:25:33I'm almost there.
01:25:36Everything
01:25:36I've ever
01:25:38wanted,
01:25:39I've achieved.
01:25:40Money,
01:25:42prestige,
01:25:43a fantastic
01:25:44lover.
01:25:45I've got it all.
01:25:47You're the one
01:25:47who should be
01:25:49regretting
01:25:49her choices.
01:25:52You have
01:25:52nothing.
01:25:55Mom,
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 right.
01:26:10I did
01:26:11choose this.
01:26:12And I don't
01:26:13regret being a
01:26:13stay-at-home mom.
01:26:15Nothing gave
01:26:16me more pleasure
01:26:17than making sure
01:26:18that my family
01:26:19was loved
01:26:20and cared
01:26:21for.
01:26:21now that I'm
01:26:24chairwoman
01:26:24again,
01:26:25I'll nurture
01:26:26Roy Publishing
01:26:27in much the
01:26:28same way.
01:26:29I am going
01:26:29to reorganize
01:26:30this company,
01:26:32establish
01:26:32better standards,
01:26:33and make sure
01:26:33to blacklist
01:26:34toxic people
01:26:35like the
01:26:36Ashers.
01:26:39Oh, come on.
01:26:40Stop dreaming,
01:26:40Anne.
01:26:41The writing's
01:26:42on the wall.
01:26:43Roy Publishing
01:26:44House is
01:26:44done for.
01:26:46Let me get
01:26:46this right.
01:26:47You think
01:26:48the industry
01:26:48should trust
01:26:49a homeless,
01:26:50chopless,
01:26:51divorce failure
01:26:52of a housewife
01:26:53to establish
01:26:54better standards?
01:26:56You couldn't
01:26:57even keep
01:26:58your own house
01:26:59in order.
01:27:00They'll trust
01:27:01Anne Roy.
01:27:03They'll trust
01:27:04the heiress
01:27:04of the Roy Empire
01:27:05and the true
01:27:06author of this
01:27:07company's
01:27:08best-selling books.
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.
01:27:16Security!
01:27:16What are you
01:27:17waiting for?
01:27:19Don't touch her!
01:27:25Sorry I'm late.
01:27:27No.
01:27:28You're right on time.
01:27:36Oh, good.
01:27:37Now little
01:27:37lover boy
01:27:38has finally arrived.
01:27:40We can send
01:27:40the two lovebirds
01:27:41to the police
01:27:42station together.
01:27:43Well, you are
01:27:45right to assume
01:27:46that someone's
01:27:47going to jail
01:27:48tonight.
01:27:49Oh, Mr. Harper.
01:27:51I know you just
01:27:52arrived, so you
01:27:53probably haven't
01:27:54heard.
01:27:55But you two
01:27:56are done for.
01:27:58Once news of your
01:27:59filthy affair
01:28:00gets out,
01:28:01the board members
01:28:02will kick you
01:28:02both out of the
01:28:03company.
01:28:04Then Mr. Asher
01:28:05will be asked
01:28:06to take over
01:28:07as CEO.
01:28:11That's a pretty
01:28:12good plan you got
01:28:12there, except for
01:28:14one little hiccup.
01:28:15Anne predicted
01:28:15everything you were
01:28:16going to do one
01:28:17step ahead the whole
01:28:18time.
01:28:18She even planned a
01:28:19little surprise for
01:28:21this exact occasion.
01:28:22This here is a report
01:28:27from a forensic
01:28:27trace analyst.
01:28:29We recovered
01:28:30some shards
01:28:31of a burnt
01:28:31manuscript from
01:28:32the Asher family
01:28:33fireplace.
01:28:35And it confirms
01:28:35the aldermen's
01:28:36and the burnt
01:28:36writing.
01:28:37And the results
01:28:38confirmed the
01:28:39handwriting and all
01:28:39the papers in there
01:28:40were that of
01:28:41Miss Anne Roy.
01:28:43Miss Anne Roy.
