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...
00:12:26No, no, no, no.
00:12:28You...
00:12:31Oh, no!
00:12:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:12:40You burned my manuscripts!
00:12:43I put 25 years of my heart into those!
00:12:46It wasn't Dad, Mom.
00:12:49It 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.
00:25:47I'm sorry.
00:25:48You're going to have a divorce like that.
00:25:50This is a supplemental document.
00:25:52You must agree to its terms.
00:25:55Dad's assets aren't pocket change.
00:25:57You can't just take half.
00:25:59Especially since they'll eventually come to me.
00:26:02How can you be so cold?
00:26:05First 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.
00:51:44Here.
00:51:51Henry, did I go too far?
00:51:58And you've done everything for them.
00:52:00It's them who let you down.
00:52:03To get rid of Jonathan's influence, I 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.
00:52:22And get your copyrights back.
00:52:27Let me think about it.
00:52:28Well, the Novell Foundation already called and they said he's the frontrunner to win this year.
00:52:31We cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses.
00:52:34It's time to take back what's yours.
00:52:36Henry, I said just give me some time to think.
00:52:40And you're too nice.
00:52:42You might give in again, but Jonathan won't.
00:52:49What kind of a psychopath hides their identity for decades?
00:52:52You know what?
00:52:53I bet she did this just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us.
00:52:57She was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday.
00:53:00But now she's a chairwoman of a top publishing company?
00:53:03This must be a joke.
00:53:09Oh, God.
00:53:11Hold your horses.
00:53:12We can still turn this around.
00:53:14Anne is just a housewife.
00:53:17She's got no experience.
00:53:18There'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.
00:53:39You 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.
00:53:54And when their reputations are completely destroyed and the company stocks crash, the board members are going to be begging me to take over.
00:54:04Anne, your decision to reverse Jonathan's appointment to CEO has already affected this company's stocks.
00:54:22We understand the Roy family.
00:54:23We understand the Roy family holds the majority of shares, but you're still responsible for the rest of the shareholders.
00:54:31We members of the board wish for you to resign as a chairwoman.
00:54:38You're trying to fire Anne?
00:54:41Is this because of Jonathan's meddling?
00:54:43Disgusting 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.
00:55:00We cannot lose a cash cow like Jonathan Asher.
00:55:05Ms. Roy must make up for this loss.
00:55:09I'll take back the copyrights.
00:55:15How is that possible?
00:55:21Who in their right mind would ever hand over a golden egg to their ex-wife?
00:55:30I am more than just Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:55:34I am Anne Roy.
00:55:36I have achieved everything that I have ever set my mind to, and 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.
00:55:52Okay.
00:55:57Sign this agreement stating that if you do not get back the copyrights, all of your stock holdings will be turned over to us.
00:56:12Ann, you can't do that.
00:56:15Ann, you can't do that.
00:56:19I, Ann Roy, hereby agree to the terms of this agreement.
00:56:25In 24 hours, I will take back the copyrights.
00:56:26If I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares.
00:56:30I, Ann Roy, hereby agree to the terms of this agreement.
00:56:37In 24 hours, I will take back the copyrights.
00:56:40If I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares.
00:56:45It's a deal.
00:56:57We look forward to the results.
00:57:02Ann, that was foolish.
00:57:13Jonathan's an egotistical little man.
00:57:15He'll stop at nothing to save his reputation.
00:57:18He's never going to admit that you were his ghostwriter.
00:57:20How 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.
00:57:28That's where you come in.
00:57:30Tomorrow is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
00:57:33I'll show Jonathan what a real regret looks like.
00:57:37I'm waiting on the lab results.
00:57:47I'll be waiting to hear from you.
00:58:15Jonathan Asher?
00:58:17I knew it was you.
00:58:18Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.
00:58:34asher well thank you but the award hasn't been assigned quite yet i'm still just a nominee

01:19:33that's right those are my dad's manuscripts his writing style is unconventional
01:19:38jonathan since you admit that these are the original manuscripts we can determine the true author
01:19:49through a handwriting analysis i have nothing to hide and i would relish the opportunity to prove
01:19:57you wrong but everybody knows that takes a forensic expert no fraud would agree to that
01:20:03mom you're grasping at straws just let it go
01:20:11hurry up and throw her out uh actually we have a forensic handwriting expert here one of our honored
01:20:21guests perhaps they could do the handwriting comparison

01:21:27that i'm the one getting arrested oh stop bluffing stop bluffing mom soon you'll have nothing to laugh
01:21:35those little scrapped paper don't prove anything you've brought this upon yourself am you used to
01:21:42have a luxurious life being taken care of but your stubborn jealous little heart has cost you
01:21:49everything you used to have a sweet husband a loving family big house nice car
01:21:56i could go on you were even the heiress to an elite publishing company roy publishing was at its peak
01:22:05when mr asher was set to become ceo but now your stock
01:22:11the results of the handwriting analysis are out
01:22:29according to this analysis the handwriting on the manuscripts of the burning bush and the other 16
01:22:36novels all belong to ann roy
01:22:47you only burned the manuscripts that i had recompiled the originals were written over the course of 25

01:28:32the asher family fireplace and it confirms the alderman's and the burnt writing and the results
01:28:38confirmed the handwriting and all the papers in there were that of miss anne roy
