Transcript
00:00:00For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.
00:00:04I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:00:06But while I wrote page after page,
00:00:09he betrayed me.
00:00:10He was having an affair with another woman.
00:00:12And how did I find out?
00:00:14A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.
00:00:16He humiliated me in front of the whole world.
00:00:1925 years of marriage.
00:00:22Gone.
00:00:23Just like that.
00:00:27Have fun at the Real Play concert.
00:00:28I wish I could join you.
00:00:30Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:00:33It's working, honey.
00:00:35Besides, you don't even like your music.
00:00:37Oh, actually, I do like...
00:00:38Honey, I gotta go.
00:00:39Can't wait for dinner. Make me something delicious.
00:00:43Okay, honey.
00:00:54Dan, the book is a masterpiece.
00:00:57If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
00:01:01The least you could do is give us some credit, right?
00:01:02Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.
00:01:04Plus, Jonathan's my husband.
00:01:05What's mine is his, and vice versa.
00:01:07I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over to see you.
00:01:10Dan, why probably change your family business?
00:01:12I'm just looking over at your behalf.
00:01:14We'll talk about this later.
00:01:15Gotta run, Henry.
00:01:16Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.
00:01:17That's weird.
00:01:29Concert should be over by now.
00:01:34Don't you want to answer your wife's call?
00:01:36She's so annoying.
00:01:38She can't go a single day without calling, without blab, without some unimportant shit.
00:01:43Hang on, baby.
00:01:45Yes, honey?
00:01:46I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon. Dinner's almost ready.
00:01:49Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.
00:01:53All right.
00:01:53When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?
00:01:58It has been years.
00:02:00I can't stand her body anymore.
00:02:02Especially, when I have someone like you.
00:02:05You better be telling the truth.
00:02:06Oh, I swear on that one.
00:02:08You are the only woman on earth.
00:02:13Fuck!
00:02:14Okay, either they're having an affair, or just really, really shy.
00:02:18Okay, I gotta, baby, I'm gonna go.
00:02:19I, I'm gonna catch you later.
00:02:20Okay, but you better get close to her soon.
00:02:22I'm sick of this.
00:02:24Olivia, I need you to hurry home.
00:02:26I need you to cover me in front of mom in case something goes wrong.
00:02:27No, I'm gonna explain when I get home.
00:02:29Just hurry home.
00:02:33Hi, honey.
00:02:33We're back.
00:02:34And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:02:37How was the concert? Was it fun?
00:02:38No, not really. You know, these are what things are.
00:02:41Well, maybe next time I should join you, then it'll be more fun.
00:02:44Oh, come on, let me have your coat.
00:02:51Oh.
00:02:51Oh, Olivia called.
00:02:53She said she'll be back soon.
00:02:55Oh my god, wait.
00:02:56That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:02:59They...
00:03:00Oh, shit.
00:03:02Honey, did you hear me?
00:03:04Huh?
00:03:04I'm sorry, honey, what did you say?
00:03:06Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:08Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:09He may not have taken me to that real play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.
00:03:31I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:03:32Hey, Dad.
00:03:36It's the big sober anniversary today, right?
00:03:3925 years of marriage.
00:03:40Wow.
00:03:41Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:03:44Yes, of course.
00:03:46Anne, my angel.
00:03:48Whatever you do, do not forget.
00:03:50You're not just my wife.
00:03:53You're my whole life.
00:03:53Thank you, my love.
00:03:58Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:07A pen.
00:04:08Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?
00:04:11I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
00:04:14So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed, and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
00:04:19Wow, Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:04:22I noticed you write the same acknowledgment in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:04:27Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:04:30You are my muse.
00:04:31Everyone writes acknowledgments to every deal.
00:04:33What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.
00:04:39Price is significant.
00:04:42You better not learn that from my dad.
00:04:43Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's gonna be satisfied with a hotel pen and a left note.
00:04:49I'm a career woman, and career women appreciate investment, Lisa.
00:04:57What's wrong with your mother?
00:04:58She's just being dramatic.
00:05:00Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:05:04Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.
00:05:07Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your award ceremony,
00:05:10I actually have contracts at a Fortune 500 company.
00:05:13Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:05:17No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
00:05:24I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:05:28Anne, is it just me, or does this look kind of like your husband?
00:05:36Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:05:39Lily-Anne, my muse.
00:06:03Happy anniversary.
00:06:04Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:06:07You deserve only the finest gold and gems to adorn your precious body.
00:06:11Lily-Anne.
00:06:13Lily-Anne.
00:06:15To my most beloved Anne.
00:06:18He was never talking about me.
00:06:20Who is this woman?
00:06:21How could you use the book that I wrote to proclaim your love for another woman?
00:06:24Oh, come on, what is wrong with you, woman?
00:06:33Is this the work you've been so busy with?
00:06:35Who the hell is Lily-Anne?
00:06:38Did you go through my hands?
00:06:39This is an invasion of my privacy.
00:06:40Oh, you're really going to turn this back around on me when you were the one who brought evidence of you're a fairy to our home?
00:06:44Lily-Anne and I are professional acquaintances.
00:06:47We discuss art and literature.
00:06:48Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:06:51I shall ensure that only the finest gold and gems adorn your precious body.
00:06:56That is a literary reference, and that is something you would not understand.
00:06:58I suppose you're going to tell me the cheap eyes are necessary to discuss your work dressed in lacy lingerie.
00:07:02Five months ago, you are there.
00:07:04And you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not going to just sit here and listen to your insane accusations.
00:07:09I'll be in my study.
00:07:13You don't know you don't.
00:07:14You are going to stand there.
00:07:14You are going to explain everything to me.
00:07:16Mom, calm down.
00:07:17This is all a big misunderstanding.
00:07:19Okay, Lily-Anne is a good person.
00:07:21Her and dad have a professional relationship.
00:07:23You know her?
00:07:24You're going to defend some other woman?
00:07:26Mom, Lily-Anne is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
00:07:29Her and dad work together.
00:07:30It's her job.
00:07:31Look, I get it.
00:07:32You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
00:07:34Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
00:07:36Wait a second.
00:07:39How long have you known about that?
00:07:42Olivia, you're my daughter.
00:07:44I carried you inside of me for nine months.
00:07:46I gave up everything for you.
00:07:47And as thanks, you've been helping your father hide his affair from me.
00:07:50Let go!
00:07:51Clearly, you watched too many soap operas, and they filled your head with crazy ideas.
00:07:55My own baby calling me crazy.
00:07:57Oh.
00:07:59Is that what you think, too?
00:08:01That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?
00:08:03That I would stir up trouble for no reason?
00:08:05Well, it does seem like that's what ruined our anniversary.
00:08:09So, darling, maybe you should stick to the housework.
00:08:12Let us deal with the thinking.
00:08:14Stick to the housework.
00:08:15As if I haven't given up 25 years of my life for the both of you.
00:08:18To keep you happy and healthy and fed.
00:08:21Did those pants fold themselves and jump on into your drawer?
00:08:23Did those shoes shine themselves?
00:08:25Three meals a day for 25 years!
00:08:30These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and filth.
00:08:35Every day you should come home and you kick up your feet just knowing everything will be cared for.
00:08:38That I have taken care of every little detail.
00:08:41But for me, for the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid.
00:08:46Have I ever gotten a break? Ever!
00:08:51So, first you're mad about some imaginary fear.
00:08:55Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
00:09:00Your stay-at-home mom and housewife.
00:09:02Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids. That's the job.
00:09:05That's what you're supposed to do? What do you want us to give you a medal?
00:09:08You're right. I did choose this life.
00:09:10And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.
00:09:13So, shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?
00:09:15And at the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage.
00:09:18One that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck.
00:09:22My God. How could you say something so hurtful?
00:09:26You want to embarrass yourself?
00:09:28In front of your daughter? Her husband?
00:09:31For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.
00:09:36While you have been sitting here indulging in a life of luxury.
00:09:40You should be grateful.
00:09:41Between the two of us who should really be grateful?
00:09:43Have you forgotten who helped take you from a nameless writer to a best-selling author?
00:09:48Mom, I think you need to calm down.
00:09:50Oh, I'm calm.
00:09:52Your father's the one who needs to watch himself.
00:09:54Are you threatening me?
00:09:55I'm reminding you.
00:09:57I'm the one who wrote all of those books.
00:10:01What, are you going to go out there?
00:10:02Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works?
00:10:04Who is going to believe a housewife?
00:10:07Especially one that's gone mad.
00:10:08You clearly have.
00:10:09I'll just show them my manuscripts.
00:10:11All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.
00:10:14The manuscripts.
00:10:15God, I bet that's something you'd keep locked up, safe and sound, huh?
00:10:18God forbid something should happen to the manuscripts.
00:10:20You burned my name, you scripts.
00:10:36I put 25 years of my heart into those.
00:10:38It wasn't Dad.
00:10:40Mom.
00:10:41It was me.
00:10:42And if you come and say anything, I'm going to go and tell the press that you're a liar.
00:10:49Dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House.
00:10:54And if anything happens to his reputation, all of our contracts will be cancelled.
00:10:58And our entire family will take a hit.
00:11:00So this was all about your father becoming CEO?
00:11:04Hey, come on.
00:11:05This is the real world, not some soap opera.
00:11:07Why can't you just act like any other housewife?
00:11:10Pretend it didn't happen.
00:11:11So why don't you just go and buy some clothes and keep your fucking nails done?
00:11:15What are you trying to achieve by causing ceilings?
00:11:22I want a divorce.
00:11:26I want a divorce.
00:11:29I don't want to be part of this traitorous family anymore.
00:11:31I'm drawing up the divorce papers.
00:11:33Soon you'll see who really provided for this family.
00:11:36Okay, let her go.
00:11:37Go ahead and see what the real world's all about.
00:11:41In two weeks' time, she's going to be back here, begging me to take her back.
00:11:46Oh, I left some belongings in your suitcase.
00:11:50What do they look like?
00:11:51Oh, they're red as flames.
00:11:55Soft to the touch.
00:11:57You need to hurry up over here and collect them.
00:11:59I'll only step foot in your house once I become your wife.
00:12:03You will be soon, honey.
00:12:04Have a little sneak preview in the meantime.
00:12:10Oh, my God.
00:12:12Baby, you look incredible.
00:12:14Years in advance for all that you promised me.
00:12:18Lily-Anne.
00:12:19My goddess.
00:12:21My muse.
00:12:22Miss Wright.
00:12:38Mr. Henry's office is over here.
00:12:43Hey.
00:12:43Where'd you go?
00:12:45Hi.
00:12:46I just saw your wife walking to the CEO's office.
00:12:48I should be trying to report our relationship.
00:12:50What?
00:12:54Hey, Anne.
00:12:54What a pleasant surprise.
00:12:56What's going on?
00:12:57Henry, I came here today to ask you to stay on as CEO.
00:13:00You led this company to become what it is.
00:13:02There's no reason for you to leave.
00:13:03Yeah, but without your father's mentorship, I never would have come this far.
00:13:07I promised him that I would look after you.
00:13:09Roy is always meant to have been your company.
00:13:11Henry, I knew I could put my faith in you.
00:13:13Thank you, but now it's time to return to its rightful order.
00:13:16And per your request, I was just getting ready to call Jonathan to talk to him about taking
00:13:20over as CEO.
00:13:23The other reason that I came here today was to tell you to revoke that offer.
00:13:27John and I are getting divorced.
00:13:30He's been cheating on me for God knows how long.
00:13:33With another Anne.
00:13:34Lily-Anne.
00:13:35His real muse, apparently.
00:13:37Pussles.
00:13:38I didn't even have special treatment because of you.
00:13:41How dare I disrespect you?
00:13:42You know what?
00:13:43I'll fire that asshole right now.
00:13:45And that idiot Lily-Anne.
00:13:48Listen, listen.
00:13:50Oh, man.
00:13:52Fine.
00:13:54Listen, I don't want you to fire him.
00:13:56Why not?
00:13:58You still have feelings for him?
00:13:59We were married for 25 years.
00:14:00I mean, we've weathered so much together.
00:14:03Actually, Henry, go ahead and announce his position as CEO.
00:14:07But I will be adding long condition.
00:14:08Hmm.
00:14:08Let's play him with control, my man.
00:14:18Olivia, there's no need to be so nervous.
00:14:20Maybe your mom went to the CEO to beg for a job.
00:14:22No, she's definitely going to bring up the ghostwriting issue.
00:14:25Then dad's reputation is going to be ruined and my contracts are going to be cancelled.
00:14:28If I have to drag her back here myself, I will.
00:14:31Darling, do not worry.
00:14:33Lily's keeping an eye on her.
00:14:34Now, if Anne tries to expose me, we are going to go to the press, tell them it was her having the affair.
00:14:40And now she's trying to slander my reputation and steal half my assets.
00:14:44Great idea, dad.
00:14:45That way, her public image will be ruined and nobody will believe mom.
00:14:48A housewife wants to bring me down.
00:14:51Anne, I'm going to show you that the real world is not as simple as you think it is.
00:14:56Henry, am I being too harsh on them?
00:15:02Jonathan and I were together for so long.
00:15:04He must care about me still, even just a little bit, right?
00:15:07Are you getting cold, Pete?
00:15:08No, I am.
00:15:09If Jonathan were to have a change of heart and show me that he still cares, I might give him another chance.
00:15:16Anne, do not give in so easily.
00:15:18You've done everything for your family.
00:15:19But please, it's time that you put yourself first for once.
00:15:22Thanks, Henry.
00:15:25You're the best friend a girl could ask for.
00:15:26Actually, I'm the worst.
00:15:28I should have checked in on you a long time ago.
00:15:31I chose this life, so I need to face those consequences.
00:15:34Let's do like we talked about.
00:15:36I'll keep you updated.
00:15:37Okay.
00:15:39Anne, you're too nice.
00:15:45Mr. Harper!
00:15:47Wasn't the woman who just left Mr. Asher's wife?
00:15:49Mrs. Lenovo.
00:15:50Isn't it still work hours?
00:15:52Go back and set up a meeting with HR.
00:15:54I'm going to be calling Jonathan Asher and giving him notice about his position in this company.
00:15:57Mr. Harper, Jonathan is our best-selling author.
00:16:01You can't destroy his career over some one-sided statement.
00:16:04What one-sided statement are you talking about?
00:16:07Hmm?
00:16:08I'm going to be calling him to tell him he'll be the next CEO of this company.
00:16:12Would you call that destroying his career?
00:16:15Oh, my God!
00:16:17What an incredibly wise decision.
00:16:19Why are you so happy about this?
00:16:22Are you and Mr. Asher that close?
00:16:25I...
00:16:25I'm a really big fan of his.
00:16:28So, naturally, I'm really happy for him.
00:16:33You don't even know where the real alter your vandalin over is.
00:16:36I need you to hurry up and make that meeting with HR.
00:16:38I'm going to inform Jonathan personally.
00:16:45Hello, my darling.
00:16:46Johnny, I have amazing news.
00:16:49You're about to become the CEO.
00:16:52What did you say?
00:16:57Roy Publishing House is hiring me as CEO!
00:17:00Yes!
00:17:01I'm about to have your meeting with HR.
00:17:05Hiring has full CEO.
00:17:06And nonsense.
00:17:07We'll do one year and not the other.
00:17:12I hope you still remember the promise you made.
00:17:14Once you become the CEO,
00:17:16then I'll become the new Mrs. Asher.
00:17:19Ah, yes.
00:17:21I never go back in my work, my girl.
00:17:23Well, then you better hurry up and clear out your drawers.
00:17:26Because I've got a lot of lingerie to put in them.
00:17:31Your wish is my command.
00:17:40Anne, everything's been prepared.
00:17:42I'll await your instructions.
00:17:44Thank you, Henry.
00:17:45Jonathan, we built this house together from the ground up.
00:17:52We've been through thick and thin together for 25 years.
00:17:55Do you really want to demolish it all?
00:17:58You said I was your life.
00:18:00But then, you turned around and embraced another woman.
00:18:04Was everything a lie?
00:18:05I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my family.
00:18:09But I will not tolerate betrayal.
00:18:12Today, I will tell you the whole truth.
00:18:15It will be your very last chance.
00:18:17What's the meaning of this?
00:18:34Jonathan?
00:18:36It's exactly what you wanted, Anne.
00:18:38We're getting a divorce.
00:18:39Are you sure about this?
00:18:49Oh.
00:18:50I've already signed the papers.
00:18:53So I was willing to try and save our marriage.
00:18:55But you've already written it off.
00:18:57Henry, go ahead and announce his position as CEO.
00:18:59But I will be adding one condition.
00:19:01I'll be taking over as chairwoman again.
00:19:03Therefore, any hiring that's done, such as CEO, will require my approval.
00:19:09Are you in such a hurry to kick me out?
00:19:12What a shame.
00:19:14I was thinking about giving you all a second chance.
00:19:16Oh, stop bluffing.
00:19:17The truth is, you could come in here, you could crawl, egg me.
00:19:21I never let you back in this house.
00:19:23Mom, it's one thing to throw a tantrum at home.
00:19:25But it's a different thing entirely to cause a scene at the company.
00:19:28Dad is a public figure.
00:19:29You almost destroyed his career.
00:19:31And you think he's going to be willing to reconcile?
00:19:33Exactly, Anne.
00:19:35You shouldn't have tried to expose Mr. Asher for using a ghostwriter.
00:19:38He might have let you say and write more books for him.
00:19:43Jonathan, you know deep down inside that without me, you will never write another word.
00:19:48Do you really think that I need to rely on writing for a living?
00:19:52Soon the entire company will be mine.
00:19:54So you really think that you'll be unstoppable once you're CEO?
00:19:57Is that why you're in such a hurry to get rid of me?
00:19:59The faithful wife who stood by your side through thick and thin and traded me in for some shiny new toy?
00:20:07What or who I play with is none of your business.
00:20:10I have kept a roof over your head for years.
00:20:13I can forgive your ungratefulness.
00:20:15But I cannot forgive you stabbing me in the back during the most pivotal moment of my career.
00:20:21I mean, how am I supposed to stay with such a vile woman by my side?
00:20:24What on earth are you talking about?
00:20:26I have never stabbed you in the back.
00:20:28Without me, you would still be an unpublished wannabe and not the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:20:33Your storytelling skills have really gone down the drain.
00:20:36Mom, you should really stop with the soap opera shit.
00:20:39Like, what's next?
00:20:40You're going to tell us you're a wealthy heiress?
00:20:42You need to stop saying this idiotic stuff or people are going to think you're a joke.
00:20:46That's right.
00:20:48I'm a joke.
00:20:49A joke for being so blind.
00:20:52For choosing a selfish, brutal man to be my husband like him.
00:20:56Grab your thankless daughter like you.
00:20:59Grab your pushover for a son-in-law.
00:21:00You're right, Olivia.
00:21:02How could I have spent 25 years of my life catering to you ungrateful liars?
00:21:08I must have been delusional.
00:21:11I'll sign the divorce papers.
00:21:14From now on, I have no connection to this family.
00:21:27Wait!
00:21:30Whoa, what are you doing?
00:21:32You can't just get a divorce like that.
00:21:35This is a supplemental document.
00:21:37You must agree to its terms.
00:21:39Dad's assets aren't pocket change.
00:21:41You can't just take half.
00:21:42Especially since they'll eventually come to me.
00:21:45How can you be so cold?
00:21:48First, you're kicking me out, and now you want me to leave empty-handed?
00:21:52Olivia, you're my daughter.
00:21:55Don't you have any sympathy for me?
00:21:56I'm not like you, Mom.
00:21:57I'm a career woman.
00:21:58Don't take it personally.
00:22:01She always looks too emotional.
00:22:03Why does everyone in this family look down on me?
00:22:06I've taken care of you both for 25 years.
00:22:08I've given you everything that I had.
00:22:10Mom, you didn't do shit for 25 years.
00:22:12So what?
00:22:12You cooked us a few meals.
00:22:14You didn't earn a single cent for this family.
00:22:16Dad was the one who consistently worked, enslaved, and earned every penny that was put into this house.
00:22:24Not you.
00:22:25Did you ever stop to think about why Roy Publishing House gave your father a chance?
00:22:30Why they groomed him for all of these years?
00:22:33Well, obviously.
00:22:34Because Dad is incredibly talented.
00:22:37Dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House.
00:22:41He'll have stocks worth tens of millions of dollars.
00:22:44And if he even gave half to a housewife like you, he may as well throw all that money in the fire.
00:22:58Jonathan, is this the way you feel too?
00:23:01That you earned everything for this family?
00:23:03I had nothing to do with it.
00:23:06I want to hear you say it yourself.
00:23:09You haven't contributed anything.
00:23:13I'll tell you what.
00:23:15I'll give you a little bit of alimony about you before selling it.
00:23:18But, as far as what's in this house, you don't get anything.
00:23:28Oh my, what a generous offer.
00:23:31Roy Publishing House gave you everything.
00:23:36Made you a best-selling author.
00:23:37Gave you this huge house.
00:23:39A fancy car.
00:23:40And you're still saying that it had nothing to do with me.
00:23:45Fine, give me that paper.
00:23:48I'll sign whatever you want.
00:24:01Anne, I knew this would happen.
00:24:08I'll be there soon.
00:24:09Jonathan.
00:24:10Olivia.
00:24:11Ken.
00:24:12The way you've treated me today has destroyed any love that I still had left for this family.
00:24:16But you've also destroyed your futures.
00:24:20Oh, boo-hoo!
00:24:22Here you go again with the soap opera stuff.
00:24:24I think we're done here.
00:24:25Hurry up and leave.
00:24:26Oh, now that must be the CEO right now.
00:24:38God, I bet Henry's coming in person to announce the transfer of power.
00:24:41That old son of a gun, he's never got any patience, does he?
00:24:44See, the CEO himself came in person to know the files.
00:24:47Well, since the CEO is coming with such good news, I suppose you better hurry and let him in.
00:24:54Come quick, Mr. Asher.
00:24:55I think it's for you.
00:24:56So you're Lillianne.
00:25:22I'm sorry, have we met?
00:25:23No.
00:25:24But I've seen your noteworthy photos.
00:25:27Lily.
00:25:28Well, what brings you here?
00:25:29Yeah, Lily, we weren't expecting you to stop by.
00:25:32Well, of course I had to come by and celebrate with you all.
00:25:35Congratulations on becoming the CEO of the Roy Publishing House.
00:25:40Oh, my God.
00:25:41Congrats, Dad.
00:25:43You've come at just the right time, Lily.
00:25:44Mr. Asher is now finally divorced.
00:25:47You and Dad were meant to be the stroke of fate.
00:25:50Is this true?
00:25:51It's true, honey.
00:25:53I finally severed all times with that miserable old stroke.
00:25:56Then we have two things to celebrate.
00:25:59We can keep the festivities going.
00:26:02Well, that is the best gift any man can get.
00:26:11Lily, from now on, you're a member of the family.
00:26:15You should just move in already.
00:26:17Yes, we've already emptied all the drawers for you.
00:26:20Don't you think you're all celebrating a bit prematurely?
00:26:22Jonathan, do you really think that you're CEO now just because your mistress brought you some cheap champagne?
00:26:28That's enough, Anne.
00:26:29I've already told you.
00:26:30Lily is not just a mistress.
00:26:32Oh.
00:26:33Well, that's right.
00:26:33She's a literary agent.
00:26:35So I'm sure that she's here on official business.
00:26:38I think we all know what kind of work she does.
00:26:48Jealous hag!
00:26:51Don't worry, Mr. Asher.
00:26:54Let her say what she wants.
00:26:55I am here on official business.
00:26:58And the truth always prevails.
00:27:00That's right.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:01You're just a junior agent at Roy Publishing, aren't you?
00:27:04Are you even qualified to make this kind of announcement?
00:27:06Because I was under the impression that Henry Harper, the CEO, was the only one with that kind of authority.
00:27:12You stupid housewife!
00:27:14You don't understand what happens in the professional world.
00:27:18The CEO is a very busy man.
00:27:21And so I am entrusted to deliver this announcement.
00:27:24Hmm.
00:27:25Did he really entrust you with this announcement?
00:27:27Well, then, why don't we just go ahead and give him a call to confirm?
00:27:37Mom, stop embarrassing yourself.
00:27:39Why would a housewife like you have the CEO's number?
00:27:42Roy Publishing House has tens of thousands of employees.
00:27:45Do you really expect the CEO to do everything himself?
00:27:48Sweet Lillian is one of his top agents.
00:27:51And she absolutely has the authority to come here and notify us.
00:27:53I wasn't talking to you.
00:27:56You're just starting off.
00:27:57You only have a few clients, don't you, dear?
00:27:59What do you know about how an elite publishing company works?
00:28:02I know more than you do.
00:28:04What do you think real work is?
00:28:05Going out and buying groceries or doing the laundry?
00:28:08Please, just stop, Mom.
00:28:10You're embarrassing yourself.
00:28:11Be gentler to your mother, Olivia.
00:28:15Oh, and I completely understand where you're coming from.
00:28:19You've been in the house for so long.
00:28:22Of course, you're a little ignorant.
00:28:23I really do take pity on you.
00:28:27But now it's time for someone more ready to take over as one of the house.
00:28:32I'm lucky to have found one.
00:28:36Dad, I'm so happy for you, too.
00:28:38With your reputation and Lily's business acumen, you guys are a match made in heaven.
00:28:42Johnny, the CEO, you must be checking in to see you for the good news, yeah?
00:28:51Hurry up, answer it.
00:28:53Yeah, and put it on speaker so someone can hear what the CEO really has to say.
00:28:58Hello, Mr. Harper?
00:28:59Yeah, I told you it could be in a meeting with HR.
00:29:01Where the hell are you going off to, you idiot?
00:29:02Hi, Mr. Harper, I'm at Mr. Asher's house.
00:29:12I told you it's not that meeting with HR.
00:29:14Did you skip out work hours?
00:29:15Didn't you take to inform Mr. Asher?
00:29:17I told you I would personally inform him.
00:29:20You are just an agent.
00:29:22What right do you have doing my job to me?
00:29:24I'm sorry, Mr. Harper, I just thought I'd pick the initiative.
00:29:28I'll be there soon.
00:29:29Stay right where you are.
00:29:31Yes, sir.
00:29:32What's wrong?
00:29:40Yeah, the CEO didn't sound a bit happy.
00:29:44Nothing's wrong.
00:29:45I was just in such a rush.
00:29:47Good news, I completely forgot that Mr. Harper actually wanted to personally tell you.
00:29:54So he's actually on his label.
00:29:55Whoa, whoa.
00:29:55The CEO is personally coming to my house to announce me as his successor?
00:30:00But it's like I said, you didn't have that authority.
00:30:04If the CEO is coming here to congratulate Dad personally, I think he respects him.
00:30:09Of course he does.
00:30:10Your father is a best-selling author and renowned in the industry.
00:30:14It's only fitting that he succeeds as an ex-CEO.
00:30:18Oh, my, my, my.
00:30:20I think you're all mistaken.
00:30:22You see, the CEO is only coming here because the chairwoman asked him to.
00:30:27Jonathan's appointment as CEO?
00:30:29Well, ultimately, that decision lies with her.
00:30:32What chairwoman?
00:30:33Lily, does Roy Publishing House even have a chairwoman?
00:30:37Not that I know of.
00:30:38Well, who is she?
00:30:41Like she even knows.
00:30:43Oh, but I do.
00:30:45The chairwoman of Roy Publishing is me.
00:30:48Drop the act, Mom.
00:31:03Like, do you even know what a chairwoman does?
00:31:05Look, she probably asked ChatGPT.
00:31:09And, please, you've got to stop flaunting your ignorance.
00:31:12When we were younger, we called it naivete.
00:31:13Okay, but now that you're old and washed up and haggard, it's just plain foolishness.
00:31:19She probably read so many trashy novels, she can't even keep up with reality anymore.
00:31:23She's stuck in her own fantasy world.
00:31:26That's what it is.
00:31:27She's delusional.
00:31:28Okay, yeah, I can play along with that.
00:31:32Look.
00:31:33Greetings, chairwoman Anne.
00:31:39They're laughing at me now, but soon they'll see.
00:31:43Oh, pardon me, chairwoman Anne.
00:31:59Are you going to reject my appointment as CEO?
00:32:02Are you going to strip me of everything I've ever earned?
00:32:04Are you going to kick me out of Roy Publishing Group?
00:32:07Yes, chairwoman Anne.
00:32:13Are you going to blacklist me from the publishing world and shutter my company?
00:32:17Are you going to make your ungrateful daughter regret everything?
00:32:22Oh, no, no, no.
00:32:23Maybe Anne wants to be treated like a queen.
00:32:26In which case, I will be your butler and will be your maid.
00:32:31Let us atone for our sins.
00:32:35Oh, and what about me?
00:32:38What would you like me to do?
00:32:40Go ahead and laugh.
00:32:42The CEO will be here soon.
00:32:43He'll confirm whether or not I'm telling the truth.
00:32:46All right, that's enough.
00:32:47Playtime Bill Ray.
00:32:48Now get the hell out of here.
00:32:50I'm going to remove you myself.
00:32:51Stop!
00:33:00Henry, you old son of a gun.
00:33:02You didn't tell me you're coming over here.
00:33:05My daughter, Olivia, her husband, Kenneth.
00:33:08And who was that woman over there on your floor?
00:33:10Well, that is my ex.
00:33:11A silly woman.
00:33:12In fact, we were just getting rid of her because she was trying to tarnish my reputation, let alone
00:33:15Roy Publishing House.
00:33:17Kicking her out?
00:33:18The whole family decided we support my father.
00:33:20And we won't let anyone tarnish his good name, related or not.
00:33:30That sounds like personal business to me.
00:33:32I'm here to talk strictly about company business, so let's stay focused on that.
00:33:37Yes.
00:33:38Great idea, Henry.
00:33:39Let's talk business.
00:33:40No wonder you're the leader of the company, Mr. Harper.
00:33:42Always kind of to the chase.
00:33:44Jonathan, as CEO of Roy Publishing House, I've decided to step down.
00:33:48I will now make my formal succession announcement.
00:33:53I, Henry Harper, due to personal circumstances, step down as CEO of Roy Publishing Company.
00:33:59If you are willing to secede me for this position, Mr. Asher, I'll need you to sign these documents.
00:34:06Oh, Henry.
00:34:08My friend.
00:34:09Thank you for trusting me.
00:34:14Congrats, Dad.
00:34:19Johnny, the moment we've been waiting for is finally here.
00:34:23Thank you for coming over so quickly and for shedding some light on the truth.
00:34:26Just now, someone was spreading a rumor that you don't have the ultimate decision-making power
00:34:32and that they made up some ridiculous chairwoman position.
00:34:36Such a trashy rumor.
00:34:38In all my years at the company, you are the only one with the absolute authority.
00:34:43I mean, have you ever had a chairwoman?
00:34:4525 years ago, the chairwoman stepped down from her position and gave me full authority to this whole company.
00:34:54Did you hear that, Mom?
00:34:56This is real life, not some soap opera.
00:34:58Miss chairwoman, it's time to wake up, honey.
00:35:02Stop laughing.
00:35:07Johnny, we need to be the perfect hosts to Mr. Harper and get our unwelcome guest out.
00:35:12Yes, darling, you are correct.
00:35:15Mr. Harper, forgive us for this unsightly mess.
00:35:18Ken, Olivia, get her out of here.
00:35:19Mom, you need to leave.
00:35:24Step away from her.
00:35:27I'm not done speaking.
00:35:2925 years ago, when I took over this company, there was no active chairwoman.
00:35:32But as of today, as of right now, I am reinstating the chairwoman
00:35:36who will have total control over the Roy Publishing House Company.
00:35:39And you must all obey that chairwoman's orders,
00:35:42including the CEO.
00:35:45What?
00:35:48Henry, I don't understand.
00:35:49Why the change of plans?
00:35:51Where did this new chairwoman come from?
00:35:53I haven't heard a thing about her.
00:35:54Unless...
00:35:58No.
00:36:01That's impossible.
00:36:04But there's no way!
00:36:06This is a joke.
00:36:07A terrible one at that.
00:36:08You only buy the looks on your faces.
00:36:10Because you've already guessed who it is.
00:36:12That's right.
00:36:13Miss Anne Roy will be reinstated as the chairwoman of this company.
00:36:19Madam Chairwoman.
00:36:28Welcome back, Chairwoman.
00:36:28Anne isn't qualified for this.
00:36:35Anne is completely unqualified for this position.
00:36:38Is Roy Publishing a joke?
00:36:39Are you telling me that the woman that was baking pies in the kitchen yesterday
00:36:43is a chairwoman at the company worth billions?
00:36:46Oh my god, this cannot be true.
00:36:48No.
00:36:49Mr. Harper, there must be a mistake.
00:36:52She's just a housewife who cooks and cleans all day.
00:36:55She ruined the company.
00:36:56Silence.
00:36:57The Roy family owns Roy Publishing Company.
00:36:59And it's only natural that Anne, the sole heiress to the company,
00:37:03become the chairwoman.
00:37:04None of you have any right to question her.
00:37:07Wait, my wife of 25 years?
00:37:18The woman who cooked and cleaned for me?
00:37:20Is the sole heiress of the Roy family fortune?
00:37:24Jonathan, I told you you'd live to regret the way you treated me today.
00:37:30Mom, how could you hide this from us for so long?
00:37:32We're your own flesh and blood!
00:37:33Were you afraid of splitting your assets with us?
00:37:40Don't use your twisted logic to put words in my mouth.
00:37:43The only reason I hid my identity was to protect your father's fragile ego.
00:37:47Jonathan, when I first met you, you were just a nameless, aspiring writer.
00:37:51I fell in love with your passion.
00:37:53We built this life together.
00:37:55I supported you from the sidelines every step of the way
00:37:57and helped you reach the position you're in now.
00:37:59I look forward to the day when I could tell you my true identity.
00:38:03When you would finally become the CEO.
00:38:05I never thought that you could be so cruel to the loyal, loving wife
00:38:10who stayed by your side and made you into what you are.
00:38:13It took me 25 years to see your true nature.
00:38:17I feel like a fool.
00:38:18But I see it now.
00:38:20Henry.
00:38:21Yes, chairwoman Roy.
00:38:23What would you like me to do?
00:38:24Give them their wish.
00:38:29From this day forward, I will have no connection to the Ashers.
00:38:33Our relationships will remain strictly business.
00:38:36Jonathan, I hereby rescind your position as CEO to Roy Publishing House.
00:38:41It cannot be led by a fraud.
00:38:43Furthermore, this company is cancelling all contracts with you.
00:38:46Your book contracts?
00:38:47Cancelled.
00:38:48Your advances?
00:38:49Rescended.
00:38:50The expectable repayment.
00:38:51Lillianne, your depraved morals do not align with our company values.
00:38:56You built your career by seducing a married man.
00:38:58You're fired.
00:39:00In addition, my personal evaluation will be circulated throughout the industry.
00:39:03You will never work in publishing again.
00:39:05Olivia.
00:39:15Mom, I'm your daughter.
00:39:17From now on, you are not allowed to use Roy Publishing House's name for personal gain.
00:39:23If you try to leverage our relationship for future contracts, I will bury your company in lawsuits.
00:39:28Mom, if you cut me off, I'll go bankrupt within the year.
00:39:30Do you really want to ruin your only daughter?
00:39:33Please, Anne.
00:39:34Olivia is your flesh and blood.
00:39:35Why are you treating her like this?
00:39:36If she wasn't my daughter, I would have sued her already.
00:39:39Instead, I am generously giving her the opportunity to prove that she is the self-made businesswoman she proclaims to be.
00:39:47Olivia, I took care of you for 25 years.
00:39:49I'm not going to spoil you any longer.
00:39:51Mom, you're going to ruin us!
00:39:53Dad!
00:39:54Dad, stand there!
00:39:55Fix it!
00:39:56Johnny!
00:39:57You have the teller!
00:39:58We only had a professional relationship!
00:40:00Please tell her to have mercy on me!
00:40:05Anne.
00:40:05Don't tell me you have the audacity to keep defending your mistress.
00:40:08What?
00:40:10I won't plead on their behalf, but...
00:40:13Anne, I'm just hurt that our family has come to this.
00:40:16If you had told the truth, it never would have gotten to this point.
00:40:18I just wanted to grow old with you.
00:40:20I just want to live my life with you.
00:40:21You can take your fake feelings and shove them.
00:40:23This faithful husband act, it disgusts me.
00:40:28Did you forget about this little thing that you did, hmm?
00:40:37How about these, hmm?
00:40:39Did you forget about these?
00:40:40How dare you say you love me with the same mouth that kisses your mistress?
00:40:49Even thinking about growing old with someone like you makes me sick.
00:40:54I'll say it one last time.
00:40:56From this day forward, this family and I are through.
00:41:01Anne, this is Asher.
00:41:02From now on, you will refer to me as Chairwoman or Miss Roy.
00:41:07I'm done for.
00:41:29My career in the publishing industry is completely ruined.
00:41:33Look, baby, just...
00:41:34Jonathan, we are completely out of money and our careers.
00:41:40What are we going to do?
00:41:42Dad, you have to help me!
00:41:43All of my contracts have been canceled!
00:41:45The debt collectors are already banging down my door!
00:41:49Dad!
00:41:50What are we going to do?
00:41:52Hurry up to think of something!
00:41:59Stop.
00:42:00It's all right.
00:42:01Let him speak.
00:42:01Anne, we have been family for a long time.
00:42:08How can you be so cruel to us?
00:42:13Lillian and I, we are co-workers.
00:42:15We get flirted a little bit.
00:42:16That is it.
00:42:17Olivia is your daughter.
00:42:18You birthed her.
00:42:20What, you're just going to push us aside for some silly misunderstanding?
00:42:23How can you live with yourself?
00:42:24How dare you put blame on Anne?
00:42:26She sacrificed the years of her life taking care of you.
00:42:28That little mistress and daughter trying to plan to kick her out of the life she built?
00:42:32Don't you have any conscience?
00:42:35I promise you that if you do anything to hurt Anne, I will make sure that you pay.
00:42:41Understand?
00:42:42Now, don't worry.
00:42:47I didn't make sure the publishing house is going to drop.
00:42:49If you and the people here want to cause any more disturbances, I'll be forced to call security.
00:42:57We are already leaving.
00:42:58Henry, did I go too far?
00:43:25Anne, you've done everything for them.
00:43:31It's them who let you down.
00:43:40To get rid of Jonathan's influence, I think we should have a board meeting to announce your return.
00:43:46I agree.
00:43:46And then you need to go public and let him know that you were his ghostwriter.
00:43:49And get your copyrights back.
00:43:53Let me think about it.
00:43:54Well, I know the foundation already called this and he's the front of the men this year.
00:43:57We cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses.
00:44:00It's time to take back what's yours.
00:44:01Henry, I said just give me some time to think.
00:44:05Anne, you're too nice.
00:44:06You might get in again, but Jonathan won't.
00:44:07What kind of a psychopath hides their identity for decades?
00:44:15You know what?
00:44:15I bet she did this just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us.
00:44:18She was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday, but now she's the chairwoman of a top publishing company?
00:44:24This must be a joke.
00:44:29Oh, God.
00:44:30Hold your horses.
00:44:31Let me just help you in this car.
00:44:32Anne is just a housewife.
00:44:35She's got no experience.
00:44:36There's no way she can handle the position of chairwoman.
00:44:39Surely the company must be falling apart right now.
00:44:41Where are you planning?
00:44:45Well, I've received an invitation from the Nobel Prize Foundation.
00:44:53You two are looking at the future winner of a Nobel Prize in literature.
00:44:58And when I take the stage and give my acceptance speech,
00:45:01I am going to announce that Anne and Henry are having a scandalous affair.
00:45:06And when your reputations are completely destroyed and the company's stocks crash,
00:45:10the board members are going to be begging me to take over.
00:45:15Your decision to reverse Jonathan's appointment to CEO has already affected this company's stocks.
00:45:30We understand the Roy family holds the majority of shares,
00:45:33but you're still responsible for the rest of the shareholders.
00:45:36We members of the board wish for you to resign as chairwoman.
00:45:44You're trying to fire Anne?
00:45:45Is this because of Jonathan's meddling?
00:45:47Disgusting, old man.
00:45:48The revenue from Mr. Asher's books accounts for about 40% of this company's profits.
00:45:54Additionally, since he is poised to win the Nobel Prize,
00:45:58his market value is about to skyrocket soon.
00:46:01We cannot lose a cash cow like Jonathan Asher.
00:46:05Ms. Roy must make up for this loss.
00:46:12I'll take back the copyrights.
00:46:16How is that possible?
00:46:19Who in their right mind would ever hand over a golden egg to their ex-wife?
00:46:27I am more than just Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:46:29I am Anne Roy.
00:46:32I have achieved everything that I have ever set my mind to,
00:46:34and I have done so without relying on Jonathan for a single penny.
00:46:38I admire your courage.
00:46:40But our trust comes with a price.
00:46:45Okay.
00:46:51Sign this agreement stating that if you do not get back the copyrights,
00:46:56all of your stock holdings will be turned over to us.
00:47:03Anne, you can't do that.
00:47:04I am Roy, hereby agreed to the terms of this agreement.
00:47:24In 24 hours, I will take back the copyrights.
00:47:27If I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares.
00:47:30It's a deal.
00:47:42We look forward to the results.
00:47:43Dan, that was foolish.
00:47:53Jonathan's an egotistical little man.
00:47:55He's tough at nothing to save his reputation.
00:47:57He's never going to admit that you were his ghostwriter.
00:47:59How are you going to get those copyrights back?
00:48:01I have the evidence in my possession.
00:48:03And also, I have a backup plan.
00:48:05That's where you come in.
00:48:07Tomorrow is the Nobel Prize Award ceremony.
00:48:09I'll show Jonathan what a real regret looks like.
00:48:19I'm waiting on the lab results.
00:48:22I'll be waiting to hear from you.
00:48:39Jonathan Asher?
00:48:54I knew it was you.
00:48:57Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature,
00:48:59Jonathan Asher.
00:49:01Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been signed quite yet.
00:49:03I'm such a nominating.
00:49:04Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.
00:49:09Oh, my God.
00:49:11Dad, did you propose already?
00:49:17Congratulations, Mr. Asher.
00:49:19I see you wasted no time.
00:49:21I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan.
00:49:23But spending a million dollars on a ring is a little over the top.
00:49:26Don't you think?
00:49:28In my humble opinion,
00:49:29only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne
00:49:31is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.
00:49:34You two really make a beautiful couple.
00:49:38By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing.
00:49:40Maybe in the future we could work together?
00:49:42You can speak to me about any future book deals.
00:49:44I'm also Jonathan's agent.
00:49:49Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media.
00:49:52Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.
00:49:55Today you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.
00:49:57During my acceptance speech,
00:50:00I am going to announce a scandalous affair of Anne and Henry,
00:50:05and I'm going to knock those two bastards right off their highways.
00:50:08Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
00:50:15Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.
00:50:19Now, for tonight's main event,
00:50:22please join me in welcoming this year's recipient
00:50:25of the Nobel Prize in Literature,
00:50:27the author of the critically acclaimed novel of the Burning Bush,
00:50:32Mr. Jonathan Asher.
00:50:33Please, come to the podium.
00:50:35I'm going to do it for you.
00:50:51Excuse me.
00:50:54Jonathan Asher is a fraud.
00:51:05Who is this woman?
00:51:06What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious award?
00:51:09Oh, my God.
00:51:10I know her.
00:51:11That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:51:15Mom?
00:51:16What are you doing here?
00:51:17This is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
00:51:19I'm warning you.
00:51:20Don't start me with it.
00:51:22Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony
00:51:24in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
00:51:26Ah, I know what she's doing.
00:51:30Jonathan, she got all dressed up
00:51:31so she could barge in here to this event in bed.
00:51:34In all honesty, a spatula and an apron better suits her.
00:51:41And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you,
00:51:46she's sorely mistaken.
00:51:50Babe, you are too sweet.
00:51:53Oh, in case you haven't heard,
00:51:57your husband...
00:51:59Oh, no.
00:52:00Your ex-husband...
00:52:02has already proposed to me.
00:52:05Just days ago, you were begging to grow old with me
00:52:08and now you've already proposed to another woman?
00:52:10Talk about jumping the gun.
00:52:11Now that I'm free of you,
00:52:13you filthy gold digger,
00:52:14I've decided to move on with my life.
00:52:17Start a new woman.
00:52:18On her first day officially together,
00:52:21he gave me this million-dollar weaponry.
00:52:24What did you get?
00:52:25After 25 years?
00:52:26Hmm?
00:52:27A plastic hotel pen.
00:52:32Go ahead and laugh.
00:52:34Once I take back everything that belongs to me,
00:52:35you won't be laughing anymore.
00:52:39Babe, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.
00:52:43Your husband, your child,
00:52:44the home that you put your whole life soul into...
00:52:49is all mine.
00:52:51Everything that belongs to you?
00:52:53Oh, come on in.
00:52:55Good luck with that.
00:52:56We don't owe you anything.
00:52:59Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.
00:53:01Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.
00:53:03But it's too late.
00:53:05Even without you,
00:53:06Mr. Asher's reputation
00:53:07will let us dominate the publishing world.
00:53:10Are you sure about that?
00:53:13Don't try to bluff, Mom.
00:53:14Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar
00:53:16of Roy Publishing House.
00:53:17Ever since you kicked out your biggest author,
00:53:19now you're going to be the laughingstock
00:53:20of the entire publishing world.
00:53:22Miss Roy,
00:53:23you really shouldn't have gone against us.
00:53:25Your biggest mistake was
00:53:26believing you were more than just a
00:53:28sheltered housewife.
00:53:29So because I was a housewife,
00:53:33you all think it's okay to humiliate me?
00:53:34I mean, look around, Mom.
00:53:37Everyone's here because they believe in Dad.
00:53:40His reputation, his prestige.
00:53:43They all just want to revel in his success.
00:53:46You know the company can't survive without Ken.
00:53:49So you're all here to grab a piece
00:53:53of Jonathan Asher's glorious reputation.
00:53:56Well, there's just one little problem.
00:53:59It's all fake.
00:54:04What does she mean by that?
00:54:06Oh, she's a lonely, vengeful ex-wife
00:54:09trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.
00:54:12How pathetic.
00:54:15I'm guessing that she neglected her husband
00:54:16during her marriage.
00:54:17And now that she's passed the side,
00:54:19she's finally regretting it.
00:54:21What an ignorant woman.
00:54:24Jonathan, did you forget
00:54:26how your books were actually written?
00:54:28The acknowledgements you wrote at the front.
00:54:30The acknowledgements were written for me.
00:54:32I am Jonathan's real muse.
00:54:35After he ditched his basic
00:54:37or in-house wife like you,
00:54:38now Jonathan can be inspired
00:54:40to write even better novels.
00:54:43Oh, it's real muse.
00:54:48That's beautiful.
00:54:49Did you inspire him
00:54:49with all of your lacy underwear?
00:54:53You think you can humiliate me?
00:54:56Look at me.
00:54:57I'm gorgeous,
00:54:59seductive,
00:55:00like a luxury purse.
00:55:02You're just a filthy kitchen rat.
00:55:04Jonathan,
00:55:11it seems that you haven't told
00:55:12your new fiancée the truth yet.
00:55:14But don't worry,
00:55:15I can do that right now.
00:55:16The truth
00:55:17is that the copyrights
00:55:19to Jonathan Asher's novels
00:55:20do not belong to him.
00:55:22That's right.
00:55:30The copyrights were transferred to me.
00:55:32We wanted to make sure
00:55:33you didn't get one cent from royalties.
00:55:36You transferred the copyrights
00:55:37to your mistress?
00:55:38I've known you for 25 years
00:55:40and all those 25 years
00:55:41you were a stingy miser.
00:55:42Lily's my true love.
00:55:44And she's now my fiancée,
00:55:45so everything that belongs to me
00:55:46belongs to her.
00:55:48Mr. Asher,
00:55:49you're a real romantic.
00:55:50And it was all my idea, Mom.
00:55:53Now that we kicked you
00:55:54out of the house,
00:55:55don't even think
00:55:56without coming for our wealth.
00:56:01You hit me.
00:56:02I can't believe you just hit me.
00:56:04I should have taught you
00:56:05a lesson a long time ago.
00:56:06Then maybe you would have
00:56:07grown into a person
00:56:08who knows right from wrong.
00:56:11Jonathan,
00:56:13you,
00:56:13you're the boldest liar
00:56:14of them all.
00:56:15You know damn well
00:56:16that those copyrights
00:56:17belong to me.
00:56:19You have no right
00:56:19to transfer them to your heart.
00:56:24Jonathan,
00:56:25what is she talking about?
00:56:26Oh, God,
00:56:27don't you write
00:56:28all of your own novels?
00:56:29Don't believe some ravings
00:56:31of a madwoman, darling.
00:56:34This
00:56:34is your last warning.
00:56:36If you don't get
00:56:37the hell out of here,
00:56:38you're gonna regret.
00:56:41I'm not going anywhere.
00:56:43Today,
00:56:44I'm exposing the truth.
00:56:46Jonathan,
00:56:47what in the world
00:56:49is she talking about?
00:56:52Here it comes.
00:56:53Good evening,
00:57:14everyone.
00:57:15As tonight has been so
00:57:17inconveniently
00:57:19hijacked
00:57:20by this woman.
00:57:22I suppose it's appropriate
00:57:23to introduce you.
00:57:24Everyone,
00:57:25this is my ex-wife,
00:57:26Pam.
00:57:27For 25 years,
00:57:29I have worked
00:57:30like a dog
00:57:31to provide you
00:57:32with a life
00:57:33of luxury.
00:57:34Meanwhile,
00:57:36she
00:57:37and former
00:57:39CEO
00:57:40of Boy Publishing House,
00:57:42Mr. Henry
00:57:43Harper
00:57:44have been having
00:57:46a sordid
00:57:46affair.
00:57:48Since then,
00:57:50the two
00:57:50have conspired
00:57:52to oust
00:57:53myself,
00:57:54my lovely
00:57:55daughter Olivia,
00:57:56out of the company
00:57:57and blacklist us
00:57:58from the industry.
00:57:59She's
00:58:03Henry Harper's
00:58:04mistress,
00:58:05betraying her husband
00:58:06and her daughter.
00:58:07How shameless.
00:58:09I never wanted to expose
00:58:10you like this, Anne,
00:58:11due to all our years
00:58:12together.
00:58:12But today,
00:58:13you turned too far.
00:58:14Coming in here,
00:58:16tarnishing my reputation.
00:58:18So don't blame me
00:58:19for exposing
00:58:20your secret affair
00:58:21to the press.
00:58:22Your brother's
00:58:23not your son.
00:58:24Jonathan,
00:58:25how dare you try
00:58:27and twist the facts
00:58:27like this?
00:58:28Have you no shame?
00:58:30You shouldn't
00:58:30come here today.
00:58:31Now the whole world
00:58:32knows you're
00:58:33a cheating slut.
00:58:35Who's gonna believe
00:58:36your empty accusations
00:58:37now?
00:58:39So,
00:58:39if I got this right,
00:58:41the CEO and
00:58:41chairwoman
00:58:42of the Relief
00:58:42Publishing House
00:58:43had an affair
00:58:44and then asked
00:58:45you from the company
00:58:46as revenge
00:58:46for uncovering it?
00:58:48This is
00:58:49a huge
00:58:50spilt.
00:58:52Once the news
00:58:52breaks,
00:58:53growing publishing
00:58:54houses' stocks
00:58:54are going
00:58:55to plummet.
00:58:57What are you gonna
00:58:58tell the board
00:58:58members then?
00:59:03I see you've
00:59:03got it all
00:59:04planned out.
00:59:05You're willing
00:59:05to tell outright
00:59:06lies about me
00:59:07to destroy me
00:59:08and all just
00:59:08for money?
00:59:09You need to
00:59:10understand
00:59:10that ruining you
00:59:11is easier
00:59:12than lifting my pen.
00:59:14This
00:59:14is what you need
00:59:16to learn your place.
00:59:17What happened
00:59:18to you?
00:59:19You're a monster.
00:59:20Just admit
00:59:21that you lost,
00:59:22Anne.
00:59:22I could destroy
00:59:24you right now.
00:59:25But I won't.
00:59:26Given our years
00:59:26together,
00:59:27if you can shut
00:59:28your mouth
00:59:28and be the
00:59:29subservient
00:59:29housewife
00:59:30that you once
00:59:30were,
00:59:31I may
00:59:31take it easy.
00:59:37You think
00:59:38you're so clever?
00:59:39You disgust me.
00:59:42Acclaimed guest,
00:59:43I came here today
00:59:45to expose
00:59:45a dirty lie.
00:59:46All of
00:59:47Jonathan Asher's
00:59:48novels were
00:59:48actually written
00:59:49by me.
00:59:52I,
00:59:53his wife of
00:59:5325 years,
00:59:54am the true
00:59:55author of all
00:59:56of his books.
00:59:58This woman
00:59:59is crazy.
01:00:01Ever since
01:00:01I divorced her,
01:00:03she's been having
01:00:03a mental breakdown.
01:00:05She is hallucinating
01:00:06that she wrote
01:00:07all my novels.
01:00:08The truth is,
01:00:09she can't accept
01:00:10the fact that
01:00:11her life,
01:00:13it's not,
01:00:13it's nothing.
01:00:14I can testify to that.
01:00:16My dad wrote
01:00:16all those books.
01:00:17That's the absolute truth.
01:00:18Exactly.
01:00:19Exactly.
01:00:19Mr. Asher is the author.
01:00:21Of course Jonathan
01:00:22wrote all of his
01:00:22own novels.
01:00:24I'm the inspiration.
01:00:25Or his masterpieces.
01:00:27That's right,
01:00:27my darling.
01:00:28I wrote
01:00:28every single line.
01:00:31Every single line
01:00:34was written for you?
01:00:36You're delusional.
01:00:37You lunatic.
01:00:39You don't have
01:00:39a shred of evidence.
01:00:40Who's gonna believe
01:00:41your empty accusation?
01:00:43Oh, you'd like
01:00:43to see the evidence.
01:00:45If you can't
01:00:46present evidence,
01:00:47then this
01:00:48counts as defamation
01:00:49and I'll put you
01:00:50in prison.
01:00:52Miss Roy?
01:00:52You should leave.
01:00:54Otherwise,
01:00:54we're gonna have
01:00:55to teach you a lesson.
01:00:56I've already said
01:00:57I'm not leaving
01:00:58until I take back
01:00:58everything the Ashers
01:01:00took from me.
01:01:01Everything
01:01:01everything we took
01:01:03from you.
01:01:24Clean this up,
01:01:25housewife!
01:01:25Maybe it'll help
01:01:30you remember
01:01:30your place.
01:01:33You know,
01:01:34second thought,
01:01:36why don't you
01:01:36come on over here?
01:01:37Crawl.
01:01:38Shine my shoes
01:01:39like you used to,
01:01:40and then maybe
01:01:40I can get you
01:01:41some work
01:01:41as our new maid.
01:01:45Look at Johnny
01:01:45trying to help you
01:01:46find a job.
01:01:47You could be a maid
01:01:48for everyone here.
01:01:48Go on.
01:01:56Show them all
01:01:56how good you
01:01:56got cleaning.
01:01:58Look at her,
01:01:59she really is
01:01:59having a mental breakdown.
01:02:01If you ask me,
01:02:02she should have
01:02:02cut her losses
01:02:03and left way earlier.
01:02:04Cleaning up messes
01:02:05like this
01:02:06is all you're good for.
01:02:07Dressing up,
01:02:08trying to steal
01:02:09everybody's attention,
01:02:10it doesn't suit you.
01:02:10Actually,
01:02:16being the center
01:02:16of attention
01:02:17suits me just fine.
01:02:18But you're right,
01:02:19I am good at cleaning.
01:02:20And since this place
01:02:21is absolutely filthy,
01:02:22I'm not opposed
01:02:23to doing a big clean up.
01:02:28Wow.
01:02:29She's really pulling
01:02:30off that filthy
01:02:30housekeeper look.
01:02:37What the fuck?
01:02:38You fucking crazy woman!
01:02:45I am Roy.
01:02:46Stand before you today
01:02:47reclaiming everything
01:02:48that belongs to me.
01:02:50I am taking back
01:02:51every single thing
01:02:52that I have sacrificed
01:02:52over the past
01:02:53two and a half decades
01:02:54and nothing less.
01:02:57How dare she attack
01:02:58tonight's guest of honor?
01:02:59She's really lost her mind.
01:03:01Mom, what the hell?
01:03:02How did you splash
01:03:03that shit all over them?
01:03:04He'd always been like this.
01:03:06A older shrew.
01:03:07Your dirty secret.
01:03:09Tomorrow it's gonna
01:03:09hit the front headlines
01:03:10and you deserve it.
01:03:11Not only are you
01:03:12an adulterer,
01:03:13but you stole the stocks
01:03:14that rightfully belong
01:03:15to myself and Olivia.
01:03:17Then you come here
01:03:18to ruin the Nobel Prize ceremony.
01:03:21I'll testify on dad's behalf.
01:03:22You're a cheater
01:03:23and a thief.
01:03:23You're really screwed up
01:03:24now, Miss Roy.
01:03:26The negative press
01:03:26is gonna absolutely ruin
01:03:28the world of publishing house.
01:03:29Oh, Jonathan.
01:03:34You have deluded
01:03:35even yourself.
01:03:37You forget that everything
01:03:38you possess is built on lies.
01:03:40Self-eyed.
01:03:41You don't have any evidence.
01:03:43You can't take me down
01:03:44with your empty accusations.
01:03:46That's where you're wrong,
01:03:46dear husband.
01:03:47I do have evidence
01:03:48and I'm going to show it
01:03:49to everyone right now.
01:03:51Inside this box
01:03:57are the original manuscripts
01:03:58for all of my novels.
01:04:01Oh my God.
01:04:02The original manuscripts?
01:04:03If she's telling the truth,
01:04:04this is huge news.
01:04:06No.
01:04:07No, she...
01:04:08You're lying.
01:04:09You're lying.
01:04:09I burned your manuscripts.
01:04:11I burned every single page
01:04:12in that entire house.
01:04:13I know.
01:04:14You have nothing.
01:04:14Johnny,
01:04:17what did you just say?
01:04:19I said...
01:04:20I said there are no...
01:04:21There's no such thing
01:04:22as original manuscripts.
01:04:23You're forging evidence now
01:04:24and I'm going to sue you.
01:04:25That's right.
01:04:26They must be forged.
01:04:27Stop lying, Miss Roy.
01:04:29Are you sure you burned everything?
01:04:31What if a few pages
01:04:32were left for me?
01:04:33Right, Ken?
01:04:34No.
01:04:35No way, no.
01:04:36You were all there.
01:04:37We burned everything.
01:04:38You saw.
01:04:41Shut up,
01:04:42you fucking idiot.
01:04:43Jonathan.
01:04:44What's really going on here?
01:04:47Did she really write
01:04:48holy novels?
01:04:48Listen to that delusional nonsense.
01:04:50She's taking shots in the dark.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:53What's in that box?
01:04:54Cookie recipes?
01:04:55I know you're trying to use it
01:04:56as evidence,
01:04:57but we won't fool that easily.
01:04:58That box is probably
01:04:59empty for all we know.
01:05:01Since you all still doubt me,
01:05:02why don't I open it
01:05:03and show everyone?
01:05:11Hey, what are those?
01:05:12Those scraps
01:05:13for your silly little
01:05:14wrapping projects?
01:05:17I told you
01:05:18I didn't save anything.
01:05:20We lived with my mother
01:05:21for 25 years.
01:05:23She's just a desperate,
01:05:24delusional housewife
01:05:25trying to pass off
01:05:26my father's talent
01:05:27as her own.
01:05:28That's right.
01:05:28How can a housewife
01:05:29write masterpieces
01:05:30with Mr. Asher?
01:05:31And she almost
01:05:32fooled us all.
01:05:33Looks like she's
01:05:33all bark and no bite.
01:05:35You've crashed my
01:05:37award ceremony.
01:05:38You slandered
01:05:39my reputation
01:05:40and you don't have
01:05:40a shred of evidence.
01:05:42All you've got
01:05:42are your empty accusations.
01:05:44So don't blame me
01:05:45for sending you
01:05:46straight to jail.
01:05:50Security!
01:05:52Get this woman!
01:05:55Wait!
01:05:58Wait, wait, wait!
01:05:59This is part
01:06:00of the manuscript
01:06:01of the burning bush?
01:06:07It looks like
01:06:08written on all
01:06:08these scraps of papers
01:06:09are parts of
01:06:10the original manuscripts
01:06:11from all of Mr. Asher's
01:06:12award-winning novels!
01:06:14Oh my God!
01:06:15Is she actually
01:06:16the real author
01:06:17of those books?
01:06:18What a plot twist!
01:06:20Johnny,
01:06:21please explain
01:06:22those manuscripts
01:06:23scrap!
01:06:23Those are my
01:06:27manuscripts, man.
01:06:29I, you know,
01:06:30have this funny habit
01:06:30where I take notes
01:06:31whenever our
01:06:31inspirations scrap.
01:06:34That's right!
01:06:35Those are my
01:06:36dad's manuscripts!
01:06:37His writing style
01:06:38is unconventional.
01:06:43Jonathan,
01:06:44since you admit
01:06:45that these are
01:06:45the original manuscripts,
01:06:47we can determine
01:06:47the true author
01:06:48through a handwriting
01:06:49analysis.
01:06:50I have nothing to hide
01:06:51and I would relish
01:06:53the opportunity
01:06:54to prove you wrong.
01:06:55But everybody knows
01:06:56that takes
01:06:57a forensic expert.
01:06:59No fraud
01:07:00would agree to that.
01:07:01Mom,
01:07:02you're grasping
01:07:03at straws.
01:07:04Just let it go.
01:07:07Hurry up
01:07:07and throw her out!
01:07:09Uh, uh, uh,
01:07:09actually,
01:07:10we have
01:07:11a forensic handwriting
01:07:12expert here,
01:07:14one of our
01:07:15honored guests.
01:07:16Perhaps
01:07:16they could do
01:07:17the handwriting
01:07:17comparison.
01:07:23The results
01:07:25of the restoration
01:07:25just came in.
01:07:26It looks like
01:07:27we were able
01:07:27to find
01:07:28what you were
01:07:28looking for.
01:07:28Yeah.
01:07:39That's great.
01:07:41I gotta run.
01:07:41Thank you so much.
01:07:42Thank you so much.
01:07:44The results
01:08:02of the restoration
01:08:02just came out.
01:08:04Good.
01:08:04I'll be waiting.
01:08:05Well, I hope
01:08:06that was your little lover
01:08:07rushing over to help you.
01:08:08If so,
01:08:08it'll be easier
01:08:09to put your blood in jail.
01:08:10Are you so sure
01:08:10that I'm the one
01:08:11getting arrested?
01:08:12Oh, stop bluffing.
01:08:13Stop bluffing, Mom.
01:08:15Soon,
01:08:16you'll have nothing
01:08:16to laugh about.
01:08:17Those little
01:08:18scraps of paper
01:08:19don't prove anything.
01:08:21You brought this
01:08:21upon yourself, Anne.
01:08:22You used to have
01:08:23a luxurious life
01:08:24being taken care of,
01:08:26but your stubborn,
01:08:27jealous little heart
01:08:28has cost you
01:08:29everything.
01:08:30You used to have
01:08:31a sweet husband,
01:08:32a loving family,
01:08:33big house,
01:08:34nice car.
01:08:35I could go on.
01:08:36You were even
01:08:37the heiress
01:08:38to an elite
01:08:39publishing company.
01:08:40Roy Publishing
01:08:41was at its peak
01:08:42when Mr. Asher
01:08:43was set to become
01:08:44CEO.
01:08:45But now,
01:08:47you're stopped.
01:08:50Both professionally
01:08:52and...
01:08:52The results
01:08:57of the handwriting
01:08:58analysis are out.
01:09:02According to this
01:09:03analysis,
01:09:04the handwriting
01:09:05on the manuscripts
01:09:06of the Burning Bush
01:09:07and the other
01:09:0716 novels
01:09:08all belong to
01:09:10Anne Roy.
01:09:17You only burned
01:09:18the manuscripts
01:09:19that I had recompiled.
01:09:20The originals
01:09:21were written
01:09:21over the course
01:09:22of 25 years,
01:09:23whenever and wherever
01:09:24I could find a moment.
01:09:25All while I serve
01:09:26this family
01:09:27as a dedicated
01:09:28wife and mother.
01:09:28Oh my God,
01:09:32this is so exciting.
01:09:33I think I'm having
01:09:34a heart attack.
01:09:35This proves nothing.
01:09:37Anyone could have
01:09:38copied Dad's books
01:09:38down on sticky notes.
01:09:42Those manuscripts
01:09:43were written on
01:09:44receipts,
01:09:45greeting cards,
01:09:45newspaper margins.
01:09:47All of them
01:09:48clearly dated,
01:09:49spanning the course
01:09:50of two and a half
01:09:50decades.
01:09:53Johnny,
01:09:54you can't let her
01:09:55do this.
01:09:56You have to explain.
01:09:57Don't over-sweigh yourself.
01:10:02All those menial
01:10:02house tasks you did
01:10:03back home,
01:10:05they're just like you.
01:10:08Worthless.
01:10:16I'll put you there
01:10:16as soon as I can't have.
01:10:27Oh,
01:10:29Anne,
01:10:30look at you.
01:10:31You're so
01:10:32emotionally unstable
01:10:33that you're gonna cry
01:10:35over a bunch
01:10:36of scraps of paper.
01:10:37You are a
01:10:38stay-at-home
01:10:39housewife.
01:10:40You've had nothing
01:10:41but time to sit
01:10:42and doodle
01:10:42and copy down
01:10:43my manuscripts.
01:10:44What do you think
01:10:44just proves anything?
01:10:45You could have been
01:10:45just copying my novels
01:10:46before they're even
01:10:47published.
01:10:48He has a point.
01:10:49Anne,
01:10:50she couldn't copy
01:10:51down Jonathan's
01:10:51manuscript.
01:10:54Mom is clearly
01:10:55crazy obsessed
01:10:56with dad.
01:10:57Emphasis on the crazy.
01:10:58She probably copied
01:10:59down his manuscript
01:10:59whenever she had time.
01:11:00I've seen her do it
01:11:01with my own two eyes.
01:11:03Oh,
01:11:04that's what it was.
01:11:05Anything makes sense now.
01:11:06What a psychotic woman.
01:11:08She's trying to ruin him
01:11:09because she can't have him.
01:11:14Did you hear that?
01:11:16You thought yourself
01:11:17that right?
01:11:17Now,
01:11:20get down
01:11:21on your knees.
01:11:22Polish my shoes
01:11:23till they sparkle.
01:11:25You made your mess,
01:11:27housewife.
01:11:29Clean it up.
01:11:32You have no idea
01:11:33how badly
01:11:34you regret this.
01:11:35Anne,
01:11:35hold on.
01:11:36I'm almost there.
01:11:39Everything
01:11:39I've ever wanted,
01:11:42I've achieved.
01:11:43Money,
01:11:44prestige,
01:11:45a fantastic lover.
01:11:46I've got it all.
01:11:48You're the one
01:11:48who should be
01:11:50regretting
01:11:50the choices.
01:11:52You have
01:11:53nothing.
01:11:55Mom,
01:11:56you can't blame
01:11:57anyone but yourself.
01:11:59You chose
01:12:00to be a housewife
01:12:01and you should have
01:12:02chosen to spend
01:12:02more time
01:12:03trying to keep
01:12:03your husband's attention.
01:12:06You're right.
01:12:07I did choose this.
01:12:09And I don't regret
01:12:10being a stay-at-home mom.
01:12:12Nothing
01:12:12gave me more pleasure
01:12:13than making sure
01:12:14that my family
01:12:14was loved
01:12:15and cared for.
01:12:18Now that I'm
01:12:19chairwoman again,
01:12:20I'll nurture
01:12:21Boy Publishing
01:12:22in much the same way.
01:12:23I am going to
01:12:24reorganize this company,
01:12:25establish better standards,
01:12:27and make sure
01:12:27to blacklist toxic people
01:12:29like the Ashers.
01:12:32Oh, come on.
01:12:32Stop dreaming, Anne.
01:12:33The writing's on the wall.
01:12:35Boy Publishing House
01:12:36is done for.
01:12:37Let me get this right.
01:12:38You think the industry
01:12:39is just a homeless,
01:12:41chopless,
01:12:42divorce failure
01:12:43of a housewife
01:12:43to establish
01:12:44better standards.
01:12:46You couldn't even
01:12:47keep your own house
01:12:48in order.
01:12:49They'll trust
01:12:50Anne Roy.
01:12:52They'll trust
01:12:52the heiress
01:12:53of the Roy Empire
01:12:54and the true author
01:12:55of this company's
01:12:56best-selling books.
01:12:57And your delusions
01:12:58long enough.
01:13:00Go spout
01:13:01your crazy nonsense
01:13:02elsewhere.
01:13:02Charity,
01:13:03what are you waiting for?
01:13:05Don't touch her.
01:13:10Sorry I'm late.
01:13:12No.
01:13:13You're right on time.
01:13:19Oh good.
01:13:20Now little lover boy
01:13:21has finally arrived.
01:13:22We can send
01:13:23the two lovebirds
01:13:24to the police station
01:13:25together.
01:13:26Well, you are right
01:13:27to assume that
01:13:28someone's going
01:13:29to jail tonight.
01:13:30Oh, Mr. Harper.
01:13:32I know you just arrived,
01:13:33so you probably
01:13:34haven't heard.
01:13:35But you two
01:13:36are done for.
01:13:38Once news of your
01:13:38filthy affair gets out,
01:13:40the board members
01:13:41will take us both
01:13:42out of the company.
01:13:43Then Mr. Asher
01:13:44will be asked
01:13:44to take over
01:13:45as CEO.
01:13:49That's a pretty good
01:13:50plan you got there.
01:13:51Except for one
01:13:51little hiccup.
01:13:52Anne predicted
01:13:52everything you were
01:13:53going to do
01:13:53one step ahead
01:13:54the whole time.
01:13:55She even planned
01:13:56a little surprise
01:13:57for this exact occasion.
01:13:58This here is a report
01:14:02from a forensic
01:14:02trace analyst.
01:14:04We recovered
01:14:04some shards
01:14:05of a burnt manuscript
01:14:06from the Asher
01:14:07family fireplace.
01:14:08It confirms
01:14:09the alternates
01:14:10and the burnt writing.
01:14:11And the results
01:14:11confirmed the handwriting
01:14:12and all the papers
01:14:13in there were
01:14:13that of
01:14:14Miss Anne Roy.
01:14:15That's impossible.
01:14:24Those Ashi scraps,
01:14:25you can't test those.
01:14:26They're worthless.
01:14:27Shh, that's not all.
01:14:29Hold on.
01:14:29We also recovered
01:14:30deleted footage
01:14:31from your security
01:14:32cameras in your house
01:14:33which showed you
01:14:35throwing all the
01:14:36manuscripts in the fire
01:14:37clearly.
01:14:38Johnny,
01:14:39you never did that,
01:14:40right?
01:14:41The results
01:14:42must be forged.
01:14:43That's impossible.
01:14:44No, no,
01:14:45no, no, no,
01:14:45no, no, no, no.
01:14:46These,
01:14:46these have been forged.
01:14:48This is ridiculous.
01:14:50How low can you go,
01:14:51Mom?
01:14:51Outright forgery?
01:14:52You're trying to trick us.
01:14:53You two are frauds.
01:14:55Only an idiot
01:14:56would be convinced
01:14:56by some trumped-up report.
01:14:58Rip it up all you want.
01:14:59That's just
01:14:59one of, like,
01:15:01many, many copies.
01:15:02It's time, Henry.
01:15:04It's time to crush
01:15:05their hopes.
01:15:06It would be my pleasure.
01:15:10E. Wynn,
01:15:11should release
01:15:11the news of
01:15:12Duncan's scandal.
01:15:12Please.
01:15:13I'm fine.
01:15:15Oh, stop bluffing,
01:15:21you fool!
01:15:22How far you think
01:15:23your fake news
01:15:23is gonna get?
01:15:24You know how
01:15:24high up my friends
01:15:25are in the media?
01:15:27It won't get past
01:15:29their desk.
01:15:32Oh, it's...
01:15:32all of our media contacts
01:15:43have cut ties with us
01:15:44for releasing headlines
01:15:46that say you used
01:15:46a ghostwriter
01:15:47on the front page!
01:15:50Ladies and gentlemen,
01:15:51I've just received
01:15:51official word
01:15:52after reviewing
01:15:53the evidence
01:15:53provided by
01:15:54Ms. Boyd.
01:15:55The Nobel Prize jury
01:15:57has reason to believe
01:15:58that all of
01:15:58Mr. Asher's novels
01:16:00were ghostwritten
01:16:01by her.
01:16:03They have subsequently
01:16:05decided to revoke
01:16:06Mr. Asher's award.
01:16:09Additionally,
01:16:10he is banned
01:16:11from Nobel consideration
01:16:13for life.
01:16:17Oh, my God!
01:16:18No, you can't do this!
01:16:21It's keeping happening.
01:16:23His career
01:16:24is down the drain now,
01:16:26and he's offended
01:16:26the most prestigious
01:16:27publishing house.
01:16:28Jonathan Asher
01:16:29and his family
01:16:29are absolutely
01:16:30done for.
01:16:31All 16 books
01:16:33you publish
01:16:33on your own
01:16:34were written
01:16:35by her.
01:16:38Huh?
01:16:39I have 16 books!
01:16:41Did you write
01:16:41a single one?
01:16:43I wrote the
01:16:43acknowledgement.
01:16:46You wrote the
01:16:47acknowledgements.
01:16:50You liar!
01:16:52You ruined my life!
01:16:54You told me!
01:16:55You wrote
01:16:55every single one
01:16:56of those books!
01:16:59How could I have
01:17:00believed a broad
01:17:00like you?
01:17:02Dad,
01:17:03what do you know?
01:17:05My business
01:17:05is going to go bust!
01:17:06You're going to kill me!
01:17:08No, darling,
01:17:09please do not worry
01:17:10about your safety.
01:17:11I've already filed
01:17:12a lawsuit,
01:17:13and given this new
01:17:13evidence,
01:17:14you'll all be living
01:17:15in complete safety
01:17:16very soon.
01:17:19Behind prison bars.
01:17:20Dan,
01:17:23you've always been
01:17:24so nice.
01:17:25You're such a kind
01:17:26person who couldn't
01:17:27really do this to us,
01:17:28Frank.
01:17:28Get your filthy
01:17:28hands off!
01:17:33Pokes to us!
01:17:35I was bewitched
01:17:35by this vixen!
01:17:38I always loved you.
01:17:42You can save
01:17:43your fake affection.
01:17:44It disgusts me.
01:17:46Please give me
01:17:47another chance.
01:17:47If you go through
01:17:49with this,
01:17:49you'll ruin my life!
01:17:52You ruined your life
01:17:53all by yourself.
01:17:54I didn't need
01:17:54to help you with that.
01:17:58Please.
01:17:59I'm thanking you.
01:18:07You thought
01:18:08that you were
01:18:08destroying my work.
01:18:10But what you
01:18:10really destroyed
01:18:11was the last
01:18:12stride of affection
01:18:12that I had
01:18:13for this family.
01:18:16I wrote my
01:18:17manuscripts
01:18:17while making
01:18:18your meals.
01:18:20While changing
01:18:20our daughter's
01:18:21diapers.
01:18:22While making
01:18:22our house
01:18:23a home.
01:18:24Every single
01:18:25word that I put
01:18:26down on that page
01:18:26is a testament
01:18:27to what I have
01:18:28done for this
01:18:29family.
01:18:30Every page,
01:18:32every book,
01:18:33every accolade
01:18:34belongs to me
01:18:35and Roy.
01:18:38And George
01:18:38is the parasites
01:18:39who feasted off
01:18:40my blood, sweat,
01:18:41and tears.
01:18:42Please.
01:18:42I'm thanking you.
01:18:43You can repent
01:18:47in jail.
01:18:56Now, thanks to
01:18:57you, I'm thinking
01:18:58about maybe a
01:18:59promotion in your
01:19:00future.
01:19:01Oh, my God.
01:19:02I'm a Nobel Prize
01:19:03winning author.
01:19:04I'll ghostwrite you
01:19:05a novel.
01:19:06I'll do anything
01:19:06you want.
01:19:07For food or a place
01:19:08to sleep.
01:19:10Anything you want.
01:19:10Just quickly
01:19:11don't cover me.
01:19:13I'll leave,
01:19:14I'll leave.
01:19:17Bye.
01:19:30Bye.
01:19:31Bye.
01:19:32Bye.
01:19:32Bye.
01:19:32Bye.
01:19:40Bye.
01:19:50Henry.
01:19:52Sorry, I didn't
01:19:53mean to scare you.
01:19:55Well, I spoke
01:19:55to the agent.
01:19:56Seems as though
01:19:57Olivia and Jonathan
01:19:57had a massive
01:19:59falling out.
01:20:00Jonathan sold
01:20:01his house
01:20:02and Olivia
01:20:03fled to Mexico.
01:20:07Guess they couldn't
01:20:08do so well
01:20:08without you
01:20:09after all.
01:20:09It's no longer
01:20:10my concern.
01:20:18I love that sofa.
01:20:20I used to lie
01:20:21there when I
01:20:21would write.
01:20:23And the dining
01:20:24room table,
01:20:25oh, no matter
01:20:26how many times
01:20:27I bumped it,
01:20:27whatever I spilled
01:20:28on it, it would
01:20:29just wipe right
01:20:29up.
01:20:32Did you know
01:20:32that I designed
01:20:33the kitchen?
01:20:34You did.
01:20:35I did not know
01:20:35that.
01:20:36Impressive.
01:20:37They used to
01:20:37love cooking in
01:20:38there.
01:20:39Did you ever
01:20:39want to cook
01:20:40in there again?
01:20:42Didn't you say
01:20:43that the house
01:20:44has a buyer?
01:20:45I don't understand
01:20:46how can I cook
01:20:47in someone else's
01:20:47kitchen.
01:20:49I'm the buyer.
01:20:52I bought the house
01:20:53for you.
01:20:54After all the love
01:20:55and time you put
01:20:55into this home,
01:20:56only you deserve
01:20:58to have it.
01:21:00Henry,
01:21:00that...
01:21:00I can't accept that
01:21:03kind of gift.
01:21:04It's too much.
01:21:05Hold on,
01:21:05because there's
01:21:06more.
01:21:06Anne,
01:21:07in this life,
01:21:08I will never
01:21:08let you down.
01:21:10I'll be loyal
01:21:11to you
01:21:12and our family.
01:21:15And I will be
01:21:15an amazing husband
01:21:16to you.
01:21:17Anne,
01:21:18Roy,
01:21:18will you marry me?
01:21:22I don't know
01:21:24what to say.
01:21:28Say yes.
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:31Yes.
01:21:31Yes.
01:21:31To be true.
01:21:59Bye.
01:22:00Bye.
01:22:01Bye.
01:22:01Bye.
