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.

00:00:29I wish I could join you.

00:00:30Especially since tonight's our anniversary.

00:00:34It'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 her. Make me something delicious.

00:00:43Okay, honey.

00:00:54Dan, the gentleman's new 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 it could do is give me some credit, right?

00:01:02Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.

00:01:04Plus, Jonathan's my husband.

00:01:06What'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 do I probably change your family business?

00:01:12I'm just looking over at your gav.

00:01:14We'll talk about this later.

00:01:15Got a run, Henry.

00:01:16Have to call Jonathan to see what time you're coming home.

00:01:17That's weird.

00:01:29Concert should be over by now.

00:01:34Don't you want an easier wife to call?

00:01:36She's so annoying.

00:01:38She can't go a single day without calling, without blab, about 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 that.

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'm gonna catch you later.

00:02:20Okay.

00:02:21You better get closer soon.

00:02:23I'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.

00:02:28No, I'm gonna explain when I get home.

00:02:29Just hurry home.

00:02:33Hi, honey.

00:02:33I'm back.

00:02:35And 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.

00:02:59Oh, 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 I've chosen a good man to marry.

00:03:33Hey, Dad, it'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, whatever you do, do not forget.

00:03:50You're not just my wife.

00:03:53You're my whole life.

00:03:54Thank you, my love.

00:03:58Hurry up and open it, Mom.

00:03:59A 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 acknowledgement 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.

00:04:40Price is significant.

00:04:42You better not learn that from my dad.

00:04:44Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's going to be satisfied with a hotel pen and a love note.

00:04:49I'm a career woman, and career women appreciate investment pieces.

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, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.

00:05:13Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.

00:05:18Now, 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?

00:05:37Is Jonathan cheating on me?

00:05:39Lily Ann, 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 Ann.

00:06:13Lily.

00:06:15Anne.

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?

00:06:31What is wrong with you, woman?

00:06:33Is this the work you've been so busy with?

00:06:35Who the hell is Lily Ann?

00:06:38Did you go through my things?

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?

00:06:44Lillian 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.

00:06:52I 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 that she isn't necessary to discuss your work dress and lazy laundry.

00:07:02You're an unstable postcard, and 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.

00:07:10You don't know you don't.

00:07:14You are going to stand there.

00:07:15You are going to explain everything to me.

00:07:16Mom, calm down.

00:07:17This is all a big misunderstanding.

00:07:19Okay, Lily Ann is a good person.

00:07:21Her and dad have a professional relationship.

00:07:22You know her?

00:07:24You're going to defend some other woman?

00:07:26Mom, Lily Ann 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.

00:07:48And as thanks, you've been helping your father hide his affair from you.

00:07:50Let go!

00:07:51Clearly, you watch too many soap operas, and they build your head with crazy ideas.

00:07:55My own baby calling me crazy.

00:07:59Is that what you think, too?

00:08:01That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?

00:08:04That 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?

00:08:24Did those shoes shine themselves?

00:08:26Three meals a day for 25 years?

00:08:30These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and quilt.

00:08:34Every day you two 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?

00:08:42For the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid.

00:08:47Have I ever gotten a break?

00:08:49Ever!

00:08:49So first you're mad about some imaginary affair.

00:08:55Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.

00:09:00Your stay-at-home mom and a housewife.

00:09:03Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.

00:09:05That's the job.

00:09:05That's what you're supposed to do?

00:09:06What do you want us to give you a medal?

00:09:08You're right.

00:09:09I 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?

00:09:16At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage.

00:09:18The one that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck.

00:09:22My God.

00:09:24How could you say something so hurtful?

00:09:26You want to embarrass yourself?

00:09:28In front of your daughter?

00:09:30Her husband?

00:09:31For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.

00:09:37While 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?

00:09:56I'm reminding you.

00:09:57I'm the one who wrote all of those books.

00:10:01What, you gonna go out there?

00:10:03Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works.

00:10:04Who is gonna believe?

00:10:06A housewife.

00:10:07Especially one that's gone mad, which you clearly have.

00:10:09I'll just show them my manuscripts.

00:10:10All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.

00:10:14The manuscripts.

00:10:15God, I bet that's something you keep locked up safe and sound, huh?

00:10:18God forbid something should happen to the manuscripts.

00:10:21You.

00:10:23No.

00:10:23No, no.

00:10:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:10:34You burned my nagu 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.

00:10:43And if you come and say anything, I'm gonna go and tell the press that you're a liar.

00:10:48Dad 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?

00:11:14Get your fucking nails done.

00:11:15What are you trying to achieve by causing ceilings?

00:11:22I want a divorce.

00:11:27I 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.

00:11:36Mom.

00:11:37Okay, let her go.

00:11:39Go ahead and see what the real world is all about.

00:11:41Two weeks time.

00:11:43She's gonna 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.

00:12:06Oh, my God.

00:12:12You look incredible.

00:12:14Years in advance for all that you promised me.

00:12:18Lily-Anne, my goddess, my muse.

00:12:22Miss Wright, Mr. Henry's office is over here.

00:12:43Babe, where'd you go?

00:12:45Hi.

00:12:46I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.

00:12:49I should be trying to rapport our relationship.

00:12:51What?

00:12:54Anne, what 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've 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 be in 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.

00:13:17Per your request, I was just getting ready to call Jonathan to talk to him about taking over as CEO.

00:13:24The other reason that I came here today was to tell you to revoke that offer.

00:13:28John and I are getting divorced.

00:13:29He's been cheating on me for God knows how long.

00:13:33With another Anne, Lillianne.

00:13:35His real news, apparently.

00:13:37That's all.

00:13:38I didn't even have special treatment because of you.

00:13:41How dare he disrespect you?

00:13:42You know what?

00:13:43I'm going to fire that asshole right now.

00:13:45And that idiot Lillianne.

00:13:48Listen, listen.

00:13:50Calm down.

00:13:52Fine.

00:13:54Listen, I don't want you to fire him.

00:13:56Why not?

00:13:56You still have feelings wrong?

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 one condition.

00:14:13This plan will hold control right now.

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 canceled.

00:14:28If I have to drag her back here myself, I will.

00:14:31Darling, listen.

00:14:32Do not worry.

00:14:33Lily's keeping an eye on her.

00:14:35Now, 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.

00:14:59Henry.

00:15:01Am 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 feet?

00:15:08No, I, um, if 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.

00:15:24Thanks, 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.

00:15:30I 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.

00:15:40Anne, you're too nice.

00:15:46Mr. Harper!

00:15:47Wasn't the woman who just left Mr. Asher's wife?

00:15:49Mrs. Villanueva, isn't it still work hours?

00:15:52Go back and set 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.

00:16:05What 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.

00:16:21Why are you so happy about this?

00:16:23Are you and Mr. Asher that close?

00:16:24I...

00:16:26I'm a really big fan of his.

00:16:29So, naturally, I'm really happy for him.

00:16:33You don't even know where the real author your vandal 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.

00:16:55What did you say?

00:16:57Roy Publishing House is hiring me as CEO.

00:17:00Yes!

00:17:01I'm absolutely right.

00:17:03I'm about to have your meeting with HR.

00:17:05Hiring has full CEO.

00:17:07And nonsense.

00:17:07We'll do one year and not the other.

00:17:09I hope you still remember the promise you made.

00:17:15When you become the CEO, then I'll become the new Mrs. Asher.

00:17:20Ah, yes.

00:17:21I never go back in my work, my girl.

00:17:23Well, then you better hurry up and clear out your doors.

00:17:26Because I've got a lot of lingerie to put in them.

00:17:31Your wish is my command.

00:17:33Amp, everything's been prepared.

00:17:42I'll await your instructions.

00:17:44Thank you, Henry.

00:17:48Jonathan, 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.

00:17:59But then, you turned around and embraced another woman.

00:18:04Was everything a lie?

00:18:07I'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?

00:18:35Jonathan?

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 having one condition.

00:19:01I'll be taking over as chairwoman again.

00:19:04Therefore, any hiring that's done, such as CEO,

00:19:07will 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.

00:19:20Egg 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.

00:19:30You almost destroyed his career.

00:19:31And you think he's going to be willing to reconcile?

00:19:33Exactly, Anne.

00:19:34You shouldn't have tried to expose Mr. Asher for using a ghostwriter.

00:19:38He might have let you stay and write more books for him.

00:19:43Jonathan.

00:19:44You know deep down inside that without me, you will never write another word.

00:19:47Do 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?

00:20:25I have never stabbed you in the back without me.

00:20:29You 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.

00:20:37Mom, 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.

00:20:50A joke for being so blind.

00:20:52And for choosing a selfish, brutal man to be my husband like him.

00:20:57Grab me a thankless daughter like you.

00:20:59Grab me a pushover for a son-in-law.

00:21:01You're right, Olivia.

00:21:03How could I have spent 25 years of my life catering to you ungrateful liars?

00:21:08I must have been delusional.

00:21:12I'll sign the divorce papers.

00:21:14From now on, I have no connection to this family.

00:21:16I'm sorry.

00:21:22Wait.

00:21:31Whoa, 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.

00:21:44How can you be so cold?

00:21:48First, you're kicking me out.

00:21:49And 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.

00:21:58I'm a career woman.

00:21:59Don't take it personally.

00:22:01She always wants to be 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 have.

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.

00:22:18Dad was the one who consistently worked, enslaved, and earned every penny that we put into this house.

00:22:25Not you.

00:22:26Did 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.

00:22:40He'll have stocks worth tens of millions of dollars.

00:22:45And 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?

00:23:00That you earned everything for this family?

00:23:04I had nothing to do with it.

00:23:06I want to hear you say it yourself.

00:23:09You haven't contributed anything.

00:23:14I'll tell you what.

00:23:15I'll give you a little bit of alimony about your divorce.

00:23:18But, as far as what's in this house, you don't get anything.

00:23:24Oh, my, what a generous offer.

00:23:32Roy Publishing House gave you everything.

00:23:36Made you a best-selling author.

00:23:38Gave you this huge house.

00:23:39A fancy car.

00:23:41And 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.

00:23:49Anne, I knew this would happen.

00:24:08I'll be there soon.

00:24:10Jonathan.

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.

00:24:32Oh.

00:24:33Now that must be the CEO right now.

00:24:38God, I bet Henry's coming in person to announce the transfer of power.

00:24:42That old son of a good reason.

00:24:43He's never got any patience, doesn't he?

00:24:44See, the CEO himself came in person to announce the files.

00:24:48Well, 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?

00:25:23You know, but 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.

00:25:39Oh, 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?

00:25:52It's true, honey.

00:25:53I finally severed all times with that miserable and true.

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 bank 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.

00:26:19Don't you think you're all celebrating a bit prematurely?

00:26:23Jonathan, do you really think that you're CEO now just because your mistress brought you some cheap champagne?

00:26:27That's enough, Anne.

00:26:30I've already told you.

00:26:30Lily is not just a mistress.

00:26:32Oh, well, that's right.

00:26:33She's a literary agent.

00:26:35So I'm sure that she's here on official business.

00:26:43I 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.

00:27:02You'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.

00:27:13You stupid housewife!

00:27:15You 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.

00:27:24Did 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?

00:27:31Mom, 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?

00:27:47Sweet Lillian is one of his top agents.

00:27:51And she absolutely has the authority to come here and notify us.

00:27:54I 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?

00:28:06Going out and buying groceries or doing the laundry?

00:28:09Please, just stop, Mom.

00:28:11You're embarrassing yourself.

00:28:12Be gentler to your mother, Olivia.

00:28:15Oh, Anne.

00:28:17You know, 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 wedding.

00:28:30Did you take over us one of the house?

00:28:32You're unlucky to have found one.

00:28:36Dad, I'm so happy for you two.

00:28:38With your reputation and Lily's business acumen,

00:28:41you guys are a match made in heaven.

00:28:47Johnny?

00:28:47See, you must be checking in to see if you have the good news yet.

00:28:51Hurry up, answer it.

00:28:52Yeah, 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?

00:29:09Hi, Mr. Harper.

00:29:11I'm at Mr. Asher's house.

00:29:12I told you to stop that meeting with HR.

00:29:14Did you skip out work hours?

00:29:15Didn't you pay to inform Mr. Asher?

00:29:17I told you I would personally inform him.

00:29:20You are just an agent.

00:29:21What right do you have doing my job for me?

00:29:24I'm sorry, Mr. Harper.

00:29:26I 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 to be happy.

00:29:44Nothing's wrong.

00:29:45I was just in such a relationship.

00:29:47Good news.

00:29:48I completely forgot that Mr. Harper actually wanted to personally tell you.

00:29:54So he's actually on his label.

00:29:55Whoa, whoa.

00:29:56The CEO is personally coming to my house to announce me as his successor?

00:30:01But 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?

00:30:28Well, 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.

00:30:39Well, who is she?

00:30:41Like she even knows.

00:30:43Oh, but I do.

00:30:45The chairwoman of Roy Publishing is me.

00:30:58Drop the act, Mom.

00:31:03Like, do you even know what a chairwoman does?

00:31:05She 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.

00:31:13But now that you're old and washed up and haggard, it's just plain foolishness.

00:31:19She probably read so many trashy novels.

00:31:21She 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.

00:31:29I can play along with that.

00:31:33Greetings, chairwoman Anne.

00:31:39They're laughing at me now.

00:31:41But soon they'll see.

00:31:42Oh, 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?

00:32:05Are you going to kick me out of Roy Publishing Group?

00:32:07Yes, chairwoman Anne.

00:32:13Aren't 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?

00:32:21No, maybe Anne wants to be treated like a queen.

00:32:25In which case, I will be your butler and will be your maid.

00:32:32And let us actone for our sins.

00:32:34Oh, 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.

00:32:46That's enough.

00:32:47Playtime's over.

00:32:48Now get the hell out of here.

00:32:50Or I'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.

00:33:07Her 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,

00:33:47I've decided to step down.

00:33:49I will now make my formal succession announcement.

00:33:53I, Henry Harper,

00:33:55due to personal circumstances,

00:33:57stepped down as CEO of Roy Publishing Company.

00:34:00If you are willing to secede me for this position, Mr. Asher,

00:34:02I'll need you to sign these documents.

00:34:06Oh, Henry.

00:34:08My friend.

00:34:11Thank you for trusting me.

00:34:13Good for us, Dad.

00:34:19Johnny,

00:34:20the moment we've been waiting for is finally here.

00:34:23Thank you for coming over so quickly

00:34:24and for shedding some light on the truth.

00:34:27Just now,

00:34:28someone was spreading a rumor

00:34:30that you don't have the ultimate decision-making power

00:34:33and that they made up some ridiculous chairwoman position.

00:34:35Such a trashy rumor.

00:34:38In all my years at the company,

00:34:40you are the only one with the absolute authority.

00:34:43I mean,

00:34:44have you ever had a chairwoman?

00:34:4925 years ago,

00:34:50the chairwoman stepped down from her position

00:34:52and gave me full authority to this whole company.

00:34:55Did you hear that, Mom?

00:34:56This is real life.

00:34:57Not some soap opera.

00:34:58Miss chairwoman,

00:34:59it's time to wake up, honey.

00:35:00Stop laughing.

00:35:07Johnny,

00:35:08we need to be the perfect hosts to Mr. Harper

00:35:10and get our own welcome guest out.

00:35:13Yes, darling,

00:35:14you are correct.

00:35:15Mr. Harper,

00:35:16forgive us for this unsightly mess.

00:35:18Ken,

00:35:18Olivia,

00:35:19get her out of here.

00:35:20Mom,

00:35:20you need to leave.

00:35:24Step away from her.

00:35:27I'm not done speaking.

00:35:2825 years ago,

00:35:30when I took over this company,

00:35:31there was no active chairwoman.

00:35:33But as of today,

00:35:33as of right now,

00:35:35I am reinstating a chairwoman

00:35:36who have total control

00:35:38over the Roy Publishing House company.

00:35:39And you must all obey

00:35:41that chairwoman's orders,

00:35:42including the CEO.

00:35:45What?

00:35:48Henry,

00:35:49I 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...

00:35:55No.

00:36:01That's impossible.

00:36:04There's no way.

00:36:06This is a joke.

00:36:07A terrible one at that.

00:36:08Going by the looks on your faces,

00:36:10you've already guessed who it is.

00:36:12That's right.

00:36:13Miss Anne Roy will be reinstated

00:36:15as the chairwoman

00:36:16of this company.

00:36:19Madam Chairwoman.

00:36:20Welcome back, chairwoman.

00:36:33Anne isn't qualified for this...

00:36:35Wait, Anne is completely unqualified

00:36:37for this position.

00:36:38Is Roy Publishing a joke?

00:36:39Are you telling me

00:36:40that the woman that was baking pies

00:36:43in the kitchen yesterday

00:36:43is a chairwoman at the company

00:36:45worth billions?

00:36:46Oh my God, this cannot be true.

00:36:48No.

00:36:49Mr. Harper,

00:36:51there must be a mistake.

00:36:52She's just a housewife

00:36:53who cooks and cleans all day.

00:36:55She will ruin the company.

00:36:56Silence.

00:36:57The Roy family

00:36:58owns Roy Publishing Company.

00:36:59And it's only natural

00:37:00that Anne,

00:37:01the sole heiress

00:37:02to the company,

00:37:03become the chairwoman.

00:37:04None of you

00:37:05have any right

00:37:06to question her.

00:37:07What?

00:37:14Wait.

00:37:15My wife of 25 years?

00:37:17The woman who cooked

00:37:19and cleaned for me

00:37:20is the sole heiress

00:37:22of the Roy family fortune?

00:37:24Jonathan,

00:37:25I told you

00:37:26you'd live to regret

00:37:26the way you treated me today.

00:37:30Mom,

00:37:30how could you hide this

00:37:31from us for so long?

00:37:33We're your own flesh and blood!

00:37:35Were you afraid

00:37:36of splitting your assets with us?

00:37:40Don't use your twisted logic

00:37:42to put words in my mouth.

00:37:43The only reason

00:37:43I hid my identity

00:37:44was to protect

00:37:45your father's fragile ego.

00:37:47Jonathan,

00:37:48when I first met you,

00:37:49you were just a nameless,

00:37:50aspiring writer.

00:37:51I fell in love

00:37:52with your passion.

00:37:53We built this life together.

00:37:55I supported you

00:37:56from the sidelines

00:37:56every step of the way

00:37:57and helped you reach

00:37:58the position you're in now.

00:37:59I look forward to the day

00:38:00when I could

00:38:01tell you

00:38:02my true identity,

00:38:03when you would

00:38:04finally become the CEO.

00:38:05I never thought

00:38:06that you could be

00:38:07so cruel

00:38:08to the loyal,

00:38:10loving wife

00:38:10who stayed by your side

00:38:11and made you

00:38:12into what you are.

00:38:13It took me

00:38:1425 years

00:38:16to see your true nature.

00:38:17I feel like a fool,

00:38:18but I see it now.

00:38:21Henry.

00:38:22Yes,

00:38:22Sherwin and Roy.

00:38:23What would you like me to do?

00:38:27Give them their wish.

00:38:29From this day forward,

00:38:30I will have no connection

00:38:31to the Ashers.

00:38:33Our relationships

00:38:34will remain

00:38:34strictly business.

00:38:36Jonathan,

00:38:37I hereby rescind

00:38:38your position

00:38:39as CEO

00:38:39to Roy Publishing House.

00:38:41It cannot be led

00:38:42by a fraud.

00:38:43Furthermore,

00:38:43this company

00:38:44is canceling

00:38:44all contracts with you.

00:38:46Your book contracts

00:38:47canceled.

00:38:48Your advances

00:38:49rescinded.

00:38:50The expectable repayment.

00:38:52Lillianne,

00:38:53your depraved morals

00:38:54do not align

00:38:55with our company values.

00:38:56You built your career

00:38:57by seducing a married man.

00:38:58You're fired.

00:39:00In addition,

00:39:01my personal evaluation

00:39:02will be circulated

00:39:02throughout the industry.

00:39:03You will never

00:39:04work in publishing again.

00:39:14Olivia.

00:39:15Mom,

00:39:16I'm your daughter.

00:39:18From now on,

00:39:18you are not allowed

00:39:19to use Roy Publishing House's name

00:39:21for personal gain.

00:39:23If you try to leverage

00:39:24our relationship

00:39:24for future contracts,

00:39:25I will bury

00:39:26your company in lawsuits.

00:39:28Mom,

00:39:28if you cut me off,

00:39:29I'll go bankrupt

00:39:29within the year.

00:39:30Do you really want

00:39:31to ruin your only daughter?

00:39:33Please, Anne,

00:39:34Olivia is your flesh and blood.

00:39:36Why are you treating her like this?

00:39:37If she wasn't my daughter,

00:39:38I would have sued her already.

00:39:39Instead,

00:39:40I am generously giving her

00:39:41the opportunity

00:39:42to prove that she is

00:39:43the self-made businesswoman

00:39:45she proclaims to be.

00:39:46Olivia,

00:39:47I took care of you

00:39:48for 25 years.

00:39:49I'm not going to spoil you

00:39:51any longer.

00:39:51Mom,

00:39:52you're going to ruin us!

00:39:53Dad!

00:39:54God 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

00:40:01to have mercy on me!

00:40:05Anne.

00:40:05Don't tell me you have

00:40:06the audacity

00:40:07to keep defending

00:40:08your mistress!

00:40:08What?

00:40:10I'm...

00:40:10I won't plead

00:40:12on their behalf,

00:40:13but...

00:40:13Anne,

00:40:14I'm just hurt

00:40:15that our family

00:40:15has come to this.

00:40:16If you had told the truth,

00:40:17it never would have

00:40:18gotten to this point.

00:40:19I just wanted

00:40:19to grow old with you.

00:40:20I just want to

00:40:20live my life with you.

00:40:22You can take

00:40:22your fake feelings

00:40:23and shove them.

00:40:24This faithful husband act,

00:40:26it disgusts me.

00:40:29Did you forget

00:40:29about this little thing

00:40:30that you did?

00:40:31Hmm?

00:40:32Hmm?

00:40:33Hmm?

00:40:34Hmm?

00:40:35How about these?

00:40:38Hmm?

00:40:39Did you forget

00:40:39about these?

00:40:45How dare you say

00:40:46you love me

00:40:47with the same mouth

00:40:48that kisses your mistress?

00:40:49Even thinking

00:40:50about growing old

00:40:51with someone like you

00:40:52makes me sick.

00:40:54I'll say it

00:40:54one last time

00:40:56from this day forward.

00:40:58This family and I

00:40:59are through.

00:41:01Anne.

00:41:02This is Asher.

00:41:03From now on,

00:41:03you will refer to me

00:41:05as Chairwoman

00:41:06or Miss Roy.

00:41:28I'm done for.

00:41:29My career in the publishing

00:41:30industry is completely ruined.

00:41:33Look, baby,

00:41:34just...

00:41:34Jonathan!

00:41:35We are completely

00:41:36out of money

00:41:37and our careers.

00:41:40What are we going to do?

00:41:42Dad, you have to help me!

00:41:44All of my contracts

00:41:44have been canceled!

00:41:45The debt collectors

00:41:46are already banging

00:41:46down my door!

00:41:50Dad!

00:41:50What are we going to do?

00:41:52Hurry up to think

00:41:52of something!

00:41:53I'm going to do

00:41:53and we have been

00:42:06family for a long

00:42:07time!

00:42:08How can you be

00:42:09so cruel to us?

00:42:13Lillian and I,

00:42:14we are co-workers.

00:42:15We get floored in a little

00:42:16but that is it!

00:42:17Olivia is your daughter.

00:42:19You birthed her.

00:42:20What, you're just going to

00:42:21push us aside

00:42:21for some silly

00:42:22misunderstanding?

00:42:23How can you

00:42:23live with yourself?

00:42:24How dare you

00:42:24put blame on Anne?

00:42:26She sacrificed

00:42:27the years of her life

00:42:27taking care of you.

00:42:28Now your little

00:42:29mistress and daughter

00:42:30trying to plan

00:42:30to kick her out

00:42:31of the life she built?

00:42:32Don't you have

00:42:33any conscience?

00:42:35I promise you

00:42:36that if you do

00:42:37anything to hurt Anne,

00:42:39I will make sure

00:42:40that you pay.

00:42:41I understand.

00:42:44Now,

00:42:45don't worry.

00:42:47I didn't make sure

00:42:48the publishing house

00:42:48didn't drop.

00:42:49The few people here

00:42:51don't want to cause

00:42:51any more disturbances.

00:42:52I'll be forced

00:42:53to call security.

00:42:57We are already leaving.

00:43:19Yeah.

00:43:21Henry, did I go too far?

00:43:29Anne, you've done

00:43:30everything for them.

00:43:31It's them who let you

00:43:32down.

00:43:40To get rid of Jonathan's

00:43:43influence, I think we

00:43:43should have a board meeting

00:43:44to announce your return.

00:43:46I agree.

00:43:46And then you need to go

00:43:47public and let him know

00:43:48that you were his ghost

00:43:49writer and get your

00:43:50copycrites back.

00:43:53Let me think about it.

00:43:54Well, I know

00:43:55the foundation article

00:43:55and this needs the

00:43:56front line of the men

00:43:57this year.

00:43:57We cannot let him keep

00:43:58making money off

00:43:59false pretenses.

00:44:00It's time to take

00:44:00back what's yours.

00:44:01Henry, I said just

00:44:03give me some time to

00:44:03think.

00:44:05Anne, you're too nice.

00:44:06You might get in

00:44:06again, a Jonathan

00:44:07won't.

00:44:12What kind of a psychopath

00:44:13hides their identity

00:44:14for decades?

00:44:15You know what?

00:44:16I bet she did this just

00:44:17so she doesn't have to

00:44:17share her assets with us.

00:44:19She was just a boring

00:44:19housewife mopping floors

00:44:20yesterday, but now she's a

00:44:22chairwoman of a top

00:44:22publishing company?

00:44:24This must be a joke.

00:44:25Oh, God.

00:44:30Hold your horses.

00:44:31Let me get so

00:44:32turn this around.

00:44:33Anne is just a

00:44:34housewife.

00:44:35She's got no experience.

00:44:36There's no way she can

00:44:37handle the position of

00:44:38chairwoman.

00:44:39Surely the company must be

00:44:40falling apart right now.

00:44:41What are you planning?

00:44:45Well, I've received an

00:44:48invitation from the

00:44:49Nobel Prize Foundation.

00:44:51You two are looking at

00:44:55the future winner of a

00:44:57Nobel Prize in literature.

00:44:59And when I take the

00:44:59stage and give my

00:45:00acceptance speech, I am

00:45:02going to announce that

00:45:03Anne and Henry are

00:45:05having a scandalous

00:45:06affair.

00:45:07And when their

00:45:07reputations are

00:45:07completely destroyed and

00:45:09the company stopped

00:45:09scratch, the board of

00:45:11members are going to be

00:45:12begging me to take over.

00:45:21Anne, your decision to

00:45:24reverse Jonathan's

00:45:25appointment to CEO has

00:45:27already affected this

00:45:28company's stocks.

00:45:30We understand the Roy

00:45:31family holds the majority

00:45:32of shares, but you're

00:45:34still responsible for the

00:45:35rest of the shareholders.

00:45:37We members of the

00:45:38board wish for you to

00:45:41resign as shareholders.

00:45:44You're trying to fire Anne?

00:45:45Is this because of

00:45:46Jonathan's meddling?

00:45:47Disgusting, little man.

00:45:48The revenue from Mr.

00:45:50Asher's books accounts

00:45:51for about 40% of this

00:45:53company's profits.

00:45:54Additionally, since he

00:45:56is poised to win the

00:45:57Nobel Prize, his market

00:45:58value is about to

00:46:00skyrocket soon.

00:46:01We cannot lose a cash cow

00:46:03like Jonathan Asher.

00:46:06Ms. Roy must make up

00:46:07for this loss.

00:46:12I'll take back the

00:46:13copyrights.

00:46:16How is that possible?

00:46:19Who in their right mind

00:46:21would ever hand over a

00:46:22golden egg to their

00:46:23ex-wife?

00:46:27I am more than just

00:46:28Jonathan's ex-wife.

00:46:30I am Anne Roy.

00:46:32I have achieved

00:46:32everything that I've ever

00:46:33set my mind to, and I

00:46:35have done so without

00:46:35relying on Jonathan for a

00:46:36single penny.

00:46:38I admire your courage,

00:46:41but our trust comes

00:46:43with a price.

00:46:45Okay.

00:46:46Okay.

00:46:49Sign this agreement

00:46:52stating that if you do

00:46:54not get back the

00:46:55copyrights, all of

00:46:57your stock holdings

00:46:59will be turned over

00:47:00to us.

00:47:03Anne, you can't do

00:47:04that.

00:47:04I am Roy hereby

00:47:22agreed to the terms

00:47:23of this agreement.

00:47:25In 24 hours, I will

00:47:26take back the copyrights.

00:47:27If I cannot, I shall

00:47:28willingly forfeit the

00:47:29entirety of my shares.

00:47:30It's a deal.

00:47:42We look forward to the

00:47:43results.

00:47:51Dan, that was foolish.

00:47:53Jonathan's an egotistical

00:47:54little man.

00:47:55He's tough at nothing to

00:47:56save his reputation.

00:47:57He's never going to admit

00:47:57you were as ghostwriter.

00:47:59How are you going to get

00:47:59those copyrights back?

00:48:01I have the evidence in

00:48:02my possession.

00:48:03And also, I have a

00:48:04backup plan.

00:48:05That's where you come in.

00:48:07Tomorrow is the Nobel

00:48:08Prize Award ceremony.

00:48:10I'll show Jonathan what a

00:48:11real regret looks like.

00:48:19I'm waiting on the lab

00:48:20results.

00:48:22I'll be waiting to hear

00:48:23from you.

00:48:23Jonathan Ashton.

00:48:53I knew it was you.

00:48:57Congratulations to the

00:48:58winner of the Nobel Prize

00:48:59in Literature, Jonathan

00:49:00Ashton.

00:49:01Well, thank you, but the

00:49:02award hasn't been signed

00:49:03quite yet.

00:49:03I'm such a subdominating.

00:49:04Darling, nobody's more

00:49:05deserving of the award

00:49:06than you.

00:49:10Oh, my God.

00:49:11Dad, did you propose

00:49:12already?

00:49:17Congratulations, Mr. Ashton.

00:49:19I see you wasted no time.

00:49:21I'm overjoyed to be

00:49:22marrying Jonathan, but

00:49:24spending a million dollars

00:49:25on her ring is a little

00:49:25over the top.

00:49:26What do you think?

00:49:28In my humble opinion,

00:49:29only a woman as beautiful

00:49:30as Lillianne is worthy

00:49:32of an author as talented

00:49:33as you, Jonathan.

00:49:35You two really make a

00:49:36beautiful couple.

00:49:38By the way, I heard you

00:49:39separated from Roy Publishing.

00:49:40Maybe in the future,

00:49:41we could work together?

00:49:42You can speak to me about

00:49:43any future book deals.

00:49:45I'm also Jonathan's agent.

00:49:47Dad, we've invited all

00:49:50of our friends in the media.

00:49:52Tomorrow's front pages

00:49:53will be plastered

00:49:53with your breaking news.

00:49:55Today, you will bring

00:49:55Roy Publishing House

00:49:56to its knees.

00:49:58During my accepted speech,

00:50:00I am going to announce

00:50:02a scandalous affair

00:50:03of Anne and Henry,

00:50:05and I'm going to knock

00:50:06those two bastards

00:50:06right off their highways.

00:50:08Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

00:50:15Thank you for attending

00:50:16our prestigious awards ceremony.

00:50:19Now, for tonight's main event,

00:50:22please join me in welcoming

00:50:24this year's recipient

00:50:25of the Nobel Prize in Literature,

00:50:27the author of the critically

00:50:28acclaimed novel

00:50:29The Burning Bush,

00:50:32Mr. Jonathan Asher.

00:50:33Please, come to the podium.

00:50:38Excuse me.

00:50:55Jonathan Asher is a fraud.

00:51:05Who is this woman?

00:51:06What kind of person

00:51:07causes a scene

00:51:07as 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, what are you doing here?

00:51:17This is the Nobel Prize

00:51:18award ceremony.

00:51:19I'm warning you.

00:51:21Don't start anything.

00:51:22Naturally, I'm here

00:51:23at this award ceremony

00:51:24in my role as chairwoman

00:51:26of Roy Publishing.

00:51:27I know what she's doing.

00:51:30Jonathan, she got all dressed up

00:51:32so she could barge in here

00:51:32to this event in bed.

00:51:34In all honesty,

00:51:39a spatula and an apron

00:51:40better suits her.

00:51:42And if she thinks

00:51:42she can compete

00:51:44with a stunner

00:51:45like you,

00:51:46she's sorely mistaken.

00:51:49Babe, you are too sweet.

00:51:56In case you haven't heard,

00:51:57your husband...

00:51:59Oh no,

00:52:00your ex-husband

00:52:01has already proposed to me.

00:52:05Just days ago,

00:52:06you were begging

00:52:07to grow old with me

00:52:08and now you've already

00:52:08proposed 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

00:52:16with my life.

00:52:17Start a new woman.

00:52:18On her first day

00:52:19officially together,

00:52:21he gave me

00:52:22this million dollar

00:52:22feminine ring.

00:52:24What did you get?

00:52:25After 25 years?

00:52:27Hmm?

00:52:27A plastic hotel pen?

00:52:32Go ahead and laugh.

00:52:34Once I take back

00:52:34everything that belongs to me,

00:52:35you won't be laughing anymore.

00:52:39Babe,

00:52:40you have nothing

00:52:41that belongs to you anymore.

00:52:43Your husband,

00:52:44your child,

00:52:45the home that you put

00:52:46your 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

00:52:57anything.

00:52:59Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.

00:53:02Bet you're having

00:53:02some 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

00:53:09the publishing world.

00:53:10Are you sure about that?

00:53:13Don't try to bluff, Mom.

00:53:14Everyone knows Dad

00:53:15is the true pillar

00:53:16of Roy Publishing House.

00:53:17Ever since you kicked out

00:53:18your biggest author,

00:53:19now you're going to be

00:53:19the laughingstock

00:53:20of the entire publishing world.

00:53:23Miss Roy,

00:53:23you really shouldn't

00:53:24have gone against us.

00:53:25Your biggest mistake

00:53:26was believing you were

00:53:27more than just a

00:53:28sheltered housewife.

00:53:31So because I was a housewife,

00:53:33you all think it's okay

00:53:34to humiliate me?

00:53:34I mean, look around, Mom.

00:53:37Everyone's here

00:53:38because they believe in Dad.

00:53:40His reputation,

00:53:42his prestige,

00:53:43they all just want

00:53:44to revel in his success.

00:53:46You know the company

00:53:48can't survive without Ken.

00:53:51So you're all here

00:53:52to grab a piece

00:53:53of Jonathan Asher's

00:53:55glorious reputation.

00:53:56Well, there's just one

00:53:57little problem.

00:53:59It's all fake.

00:54:05What does she mean by that?

00:54:06Oh, she's a lonely,

00:54:08vengeful ex-wife

00:54:09trying to bleed

00:54:10her ex-husband dry.

00:54:12How pathetic.

00:54:15I'm guessing that

00:54:16she neglected her husband

00:54:16during her marriage.

00:54:18And now that she's passed aside,

00:54:19she's finally regretting it.

00:54:21What an ignorant woman.

00:54:24Jonathan, did you forget

00:54:26how your books

00:54:27were actually written?

00:54:28The acknowledgements

00:54:29you wrote at the front?

00:54:30The acknowledgements

00:54:31were written for me.

00:54:32I am Jonathan's

00:54:33real muse.

00:54:35After he ditched

00:54:36his basic

00:54:37boring housewife like you,

00:54:38now Jonathan can be inspired

00:54:40to write even

00:54:41better novels.

00:54:44Oh!

00:54:46His real muse!

00:54:48That's beautiful.

00:54:49Did you inspire him

00:54:50with all of your

00:54:50lacy underwear?

00:54:53You think

00:54:55you can humiliate me?

00:54:56Look at me.

00:54:57Look at me.

00:54:57I'm gorgeous,

00:54:59seductive,

00:55:00like a luxury purse.

00:55:02You're just

00:55:03a filthy kitchen rat.

00:55:10Jonathan,

00:55:11it seems that you haven't

00:55:12sent your new fiancé

00:55:13the 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.

00:55:28That's right.

00:55:30The copyrights

00:55:30were transferred to me.

00:55:32We wanted to make sure

00:55:34you didn't get

00:55:34one cent from royalties.

00:55:36You transferred

00:55:37the copyrights

00:55:37to your mistress?

00:55:38I've known you

00:55:39for 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

00:55:44my fiancé,

00:55:45so everything that belongs

00:55:46to me belongs to her.

00:55:48Mr. Asher,

00:55:48you're a real romantic.

00:55:51And it was all

00:55:52my idea, Mom.

00:55:53Now that we kicked

00:55:54you out of the house,

00:55:55don't even think

00:55:56about coming

00:55:57for our wealth.

00:56:01You hit me.

00:56:02I can't believe

00:56:03you just hit me.

00:56:04I should have taught

00:56:05you a lesson

00:56:05a long time ago.

00:56:06Then maybe you would have

00:56:07grown into a person

00:56:08who knows right

00:56:08from wrong.

00:56:12Jonathan,

00:56:13you,

00:56:13you're the boldest

00:56:14liar of them all.

00:56:15You know damn well

00:56:16that those copyrights

00:56:17belong to me.

00:56:18You have no right

00:56:20to transfer them

00:56:20to your whore.

00:56:24Jonathan,

00:56:25what is she talking about?

00:56:27Oh, God,

00:56:27don't you write

00:56:28all of your own novels?

00:56:29Don't believe

00:56:30some 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 it.

00:56:41I'm not going anywhere.

00:56:43Today,

00:56:44I'm exposing the truth.

00:56:45Jonathan,

00:56:47what in the world

00:56:49is she talking about?

00:56:52Here it goes.

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.

00:57:25Everyone,

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

00:57:33with 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 Harper,

00:57:45have been having

00:57:46a sordid affair.

00:57:48Since then,

00:57:50the two

00:57:50have conspired

00:57:52to oust

00:57:53myself,

00:57:54my lovely daughter,

00:57:55Olivia,

00:57:56out of the company

00:57:57and blacklist us

00:57:59from the industry.

00:58:03She's Henry Harper's

00:58:04mistress,

00:58:05betraying her husband

00:58:06and her daughter.

00:58:08How shameless.

00:58:09I never wanted

00:58:09to expose you

00:58:10like this, Anne,

00:58:11due to all her years

00:58:12together.

00:58:12But today,

00:58:13you took it 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 not yourself.

00:58:25Jonathan,

00:58:26how dare you try

00:58:27and twist the facts like this?

00:58:28Have you no shame?

00:58:30You shouldn't come here today.

00:58:31Now the whole world knows

00:58:33you're a cheating slut.

00:58:35Who's going to believe

00:58:36your empty accusations

00:58:38now?

00:58:39So if I got this right,

00:58:41the CEO and chairwoman

00:58:42of Relief Publishing House

00:58:43had an affair

00:58:44and then I'll see you

00:58:46from the company

00:58:46as revenge

00:58:47for uncovering it?

00:58:49This is a huge spilt.

00:58:52Once the news breaks,

00:58:53Roy Publishing House's

00:58:54stocks are going

00:58:55to plummet.

00:58:57What are you going to tell

00:58:58the board members next?

00:58:59I see you've got

00:59:04it all planned out.

00:59:05You're willing to tell

00:59:06outright lies about me

00:59:07to destroy me

00:59:08and all just for money?

00:59:09You need to understand

00:59:10that ruining you

00:59:11is easier than lifting my pen.

00:59:14This is what you need

00:59:16to learn your place.

00:59:17What happened to you?

00:59:19You're a monster.

00:59:21Just admit that you lost, Anne.

00:59:23I could destroy you right now.

00:59:25But I won't.

00:59:26Given our years together,

00:59:27if you can shut your mouth

00:59:28and be the subservient

00:59:30housewife that you once were,

00:59:31I may take it easy.

00:59:38You think you're so clever.

00:59:39You disgust me.

00:59:42Acclaimed guest,

00:59:44I came here today

00:59:45to expose a dirty lie.

00:59:46All of Jonathan Asher's novels

00:59:48were actually written

00:59:49by me.

00:59:53I, his wife of 25 years,

00:59:54am the true author

00:59:55of all of his books.

00:59:57This woman

00:59:59is crazy.

01:00:01Ever since I 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 the fact

01:00:11that her life,

01:00:13this amount is nothing.

01:00:15I can testify to that.

01:00:16My dad wrote all 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 wrote

01:00:22all of his own 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

01:00:35was written for you?

01:00:36You're delusional.

01:00:37You lunatic.

01:00:38You don't have

01:00:39a shred of evidence.

01:00:40Who's going to believe

01:00:41your empty accusation?

01:00:43Oh, you'd like

01:00:43to see the evidence.

01:00:45If you can't present evidence,

01:00:47then this counts 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,

01:00:55we're going to 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

01:00:59everything the Asher's

01:01:00took from me.

01:01:01Everything we took

01:01:03from you.

01:01:05clean this up,

01:01:25housewife.

01:01:29Maybe it'll help you

01:01:30remember your place.

01:01:31You know,

01:01:34second thought,

01:01:36why don't you

01:01:36come on over here?

01:01:37Go home.

01:01:38Shine my shoes

01:01:39like you used to,

01:01:40and then maybe

01:01:40I can get you some work

01:01:41as our new maid.

01:01:45Look at Johnny

01:01:46trying to help you

01:01:46find a job.

01:01:47You could be a maid

01:01:48for everyone here.

01:01:55Go on.

01:01:56Show them all

01:01:56how good you are at cleaning.

01:01:58Look at her,

01:01:59she really is having

01:02:00a mental breakdown.

01:02:01If you ask me,

01:02:02she should have cut

01:02:02her losses

01:02:03and left way earlier.

01:02:04Cleaning up messes

01:02:05like this

01:02:06is all you're good for.

01:02:08Dressing up,

01:02:08trying to steal

01:02:09everybody's attention,

01:02:10it doesn't suit you.

01:02:15Actually,

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,

01:02:23I'm not opposed

01:02:23to doing a big cleanup.

01:02:28Wow.

01:02:29She's really pulling off

01:02:30that filthy house

01:02:31for a look.

01:02:37What the fuck?

01:02:40You fucking crazy woman!

01:02:41I 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

01:02:53over 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,

01:03:02what the hell?

01:03:02How did you splash

01:03:03that shit all over them?

01:03:04He's always been like this.

01:03:06A older shrew!

01:03:07You're a dirty secret.

01:03:09Tomorrow,

01:03:09it's gonna hit

01:03:10the 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

01:03:19the Nobel Prize ceremony.

01:03:21I'll testify on dad's behalf.

01:03:22You're a cheater

01:03:23and a thief.

01:03:24You're really screwed up

01:03:24now,

01:03:25Miss Roy.

01:03:26The negative press

01:03:26is gonna absolutely ruin

01:03:28where the publishing comes.

01:03:30Oh, Jonathan.

01:03:34You have deluded

01:03:35even yourself.

01:03:37You forget that

01:03:38everything you possess

01:03:38is built on lies.

01:03:40I'm so fine.

01:03:41You don't have

01:03:42any evidence.

01:03:43You can't take me down

01:03:44with your empty accusations.

01:03:46That's where you're wrong,

01:03:47dear husband.

01:03:48I do have evidence

01:03:48and I'm going to show it

01:03:50to everyone right now.

01:03:55Inside 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,

01:04:05this is huge news.

01:04:06No.

01:04:07No, she...

01:04:08You're lying.

01:04:09You're lying.

01:04:10I burned your manuscripts.

01:04:12I burned every single page

01:04:13in that entire house.

01:04:13I know.

01:04:14You have nothing.

01:04:17Johnny,

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

01:04:25and I'm going to sue you.

01:04:25That's right.

01:04:26They must be forged.

01:04:27Stop lying.

01:04:28Miss Roy?

01:04:29Are you sure

01:04:29you burned everything?

01:04:31What if a few pages

01:04:32were left for me?

01:04:33Right, Kent?

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.

01:04:44Jonathan,

01:04:45what's really going on here?

01:04:47Did she really write

01:04:48whole novels?

01:04:49Listen to that delusional nonsense.

01:04:50She's taking shots

01:04:51in the dark.

01:04:53Yeah.

01:04:53What's in that box?

01:04:54Cookie recipes?

01:04:55I know you're trying

01:04:56to use it as 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

01:05:01still doubt me,

01:05:02why don't I open it

01:05:03and show everyone?

01:05:11Hey, what are those?

01:05:12Little scraps

01:05:13from your silly little

01:05:14crafting projects?

01:05:15I told you

01:05:18I didn't save anything.

01:05:19We 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.

01:05:29How can a housewife

01:05:29write masterpieces

01:05:30like Mr. Asher?

01:05:31And she almost fooled us all.

01:05:33Looks like she's all

01:05:34bark and no bite.

01:05:37You've crashed

01:05:37my word ceremony.

01:05:39You slandered my 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.

01:05:47Security!

01:05:52Get this woman!

01:05:55Wait!

01:05:58Wait, wait, wait!

01:05:59This is part of the

01:06:00manuscript

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

01:06:12Mr. Asher's

01:06:13award-winning novels!

01:06:15Oh my god.

01:06:16Is 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!

01:06:27Those are my

01:06:27manuscripts, man.

01:06:29I know

01:06:30I have this funny

01:06:30habit where I

01:06:31take notes

01:06:31whenever inspiration

01:06:32scrap.

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

01:06:48the true author

01:06:48through a handwriting

01:06:49analysis.

01:06:50I have nothing

01:06:51to hide

01:06:51and I would relish

01:06:53the opportunity

01:06:54to prove you wrong.

01:06:55But everybody

01:06:56knows

01:06:56that takes

01:06:58a forensic expert.

01:06:59No fraud

01:07:00would agree to that.

01:07:01Mom,

01:07:02you're grasping

01:07:03its straws.

01:07:04Just let it go.

01:07:07Hurry up

01:07:08and throw her out!

01:07:09Uh, uh, uh,

01:07:09actually,

01:07:10we have

01:07:11a forensic handwriting

01:07:13expert

01:07:13here,

01:07:14one of our

01:07:15honored guests.

01:07:16Perhaps

01:07:16they could do

01:07:17the handwriting

01:07:18comparison.

01:07:24The results

01:07:25of the restoration

01:07:26just came in.

01:07:26It looks like

01:07:27we were able

01:07:27to find

01:07:28what you

01:07:28were looking

01:07:28for.

01:07:38Yeah.

01:07:39That's great.

01:07:41I gotta run.

01:07:41Thank you so much.

01:07:42The results

01:08:02of the restoration

01:08:03just came out.

01:08:04Good.

01:08:04I'll be waiting.

01:08:05Well,

01:08:06I hope that was

01:08:06your little lover

01:08:07rushing over

01:08:07to help you.

01:08:08If so,

01:08:08it'll be easier

01:08:09to put your foot in jail.

01:08:10Are you so sure

01:08:10that I'm the one

01:08:11getting arrested?

01:08:12Oh,

01:08:12stop bluffing.

01:08:13Stop bluffing,

01:08:14mom.

01:08:15Soon,

01:08:16you'll have

01:08:16nothing to laugh about.

01:08:17Those little

01:08:18scraps of paper

01:08:19don't prove

01:08:20anything.

01:08:21You brought this

01:08:22upon yourself,

01:08:22Anne.

01:08:23You 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,

01:08:31a loving family,

01:08:33big house,

01:08:34nice car.

01:08:35I can 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...

01:08:53and the results

01:08:57of the handwriting

01:08:58analysis

01:08:58are out.

01:09:02According to this

01:09:04analysis,

01:09:04the handwriting

01:09:05on the manuscripts

01:09:06of the Burning Bush

01:09:07and the other

01:09:0716 novels

01:09:09all belong to...

01:09:12Anne Roy.

01:09:13You only burned

01:09:18the manuscripts

01:09:19that I had

01:09:19recompiled.

01:09:20The originals

01:09:21were written

01:09:21over the course

01:09:22of 25 years

01:09:23whenever and

01:09:24wherever I could

01:09:25find a moment.

01:09:26All while I served

01:09:26this family

01:09:27as a dedicated

01:09:28wife and mother.

01:09:31Oh 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

01:09:39down on sticky notes.

01:09:40Those manuscripts

01:09:43were written

01:09:44on receipts,

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

01:09:51decades.

01:09:54Johnny,

01:09:54you can't let her

01:09:55do this.

01:09:56You have to explain.

01:10:00Don't over-sweigh

01:10:01yourself.

01:10:02All those menial

01:10:03house tasks you did

01:10:03back home,

01:10:05they're just like you.

01:10:08Worthless.

01:10:10I'll be there

01:10:17as soon as I can,

01:10:17man.

01:10:29Oh,

01:10:30man.

01:10:30Look at you.

01:10:31You're so

01:10:32emotionally unstable

01:10:34that you're going to

01:10:35cry over 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

01:10:41nothing but time

01:10:41to sit and doodle

01:10:42and copy down

01:10:43my manuscripts.

01:10:44What,

01:10:44you think this proves

01:10:44anything?

01:10:45You could have been

01:10:45just copying my novels

01:10:46before they were

01:10:47even published.

01:10:48He has a point

01:10:49and has a secretly

01:10:51copy down

01:10:51Jonathan's manuscript.

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.

01:11:01I've seen her do it

01:11:02with 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 that.

01:11:19Now,

01:11:20get down on your knees.

01:11:22Polish my shoes

01:11:23till they sparkle.

01:11:25You made your mess.

01:11:27Housewife.

01:11:29You have no idea

01:11:34how badly

01:11:34you regret this.

01:11:35And hold on.

01:11:36I'm almost there.

01:11:39Everything I've ever wanted

01:11:41I've achieved.

01:11:43Money,

01:11:44prestige,

01:11:45a fantastic lover.

01:11:47I've got it all.

01:11:48You're the one

01:11:49who should be regretting

01:11:50the choices.

01:11:52You have

01:11:53nothing.

01:11:55Lomph,

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 chosen

01:12:02to spend more time

01:12:03trying to keep

01:12:03your husband's attention.

01:12:04You'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 gave me

01:12:13more pleasure

01:12:13than making sure

01:12:14that my family

01:12:15was loved

01:12:15and cared for.

01:12:17Now that I'm chairwoman 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 to

01:12:27blacklist 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.

01:12:39You think the industry

01:12:39should trust a

01:12:40homeless,

01:12:41helpless,

01:12:42divorced failure

01:12:43of a housewife

01:12:44to establish

01:12:44better standards?

01:12:46You couldn't even

01:12:47keep your own house

01:12:48in order.

01:12:50They'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.

01:13:03Charity,

01:13:03what are you waiting for?

01:13:04Don'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.

01:13:23We can send

01:13:23the two lovebirds

01:13:24to the police station

01:13:25together.

01:13:27Well, 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

01:13:39filthy 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

01:13:53everything 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.

01:14:01This here is a report

01:14:02from a forensic

01:14:03trace analyst.

01:14:04We recovered

01:14:04some shards

01:14:05of a burnt manuscript

01:14:06from the Asher

01:14:07family fireplace.

01:14:09It 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.

01:14:23That's impossible.

01:14:24Those ashy scrap,

01:14:25you can't test those.

01:14:26They're worthless.

01:14:27Shush, 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,

01:14:41right?

01:14:41The results

01:14:42must be forged.

01:14:43That's impossible.

01:14:44No, no.

01:14:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:14:46These,

01:14:47these have been forged.

01:14:48This is ridiculous.

01:14:50How low can you go, Mom?

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

01:14:57by some trumped-up report.

01:14:58Ripping up all you want,

01:14:59that's just

01:15:00one of like

01:15:00many man copies.

01:15:03It's time, Henry.

01:15:04Time to crush their hopes.

01:15:06It would be my pleasure.

01:15:10Here you are.

01:15:11You should release

01:15:11the news of Jonathan's scandal.

01:15:12Please.

01:15:13All right.

01:15:13stop bluffing,

01:15:21you fool.

01:15:22How far you think

01:15:23your fake news is gonna get?

01:15:24You know how high up

01:15:25my friends are in the media?

01:15:27It won't get past

01:15:29their desk.

01:15:30All of our media contacts

01:15:43have cut ties with us.

01:15:44They're releasing headlines

01:15:46that say you used a ghostwriter

01:15:47on the front page!

01:15:50Ladies and gentlemen,

01:15:51I've just received official word

01:15:52after reviewing the evidence

01:15:53provided by Ms. Roy.

01:15:55The Nobel Prize jury

01:15:57has reason to believe

01:15:58that all of Mr. Asher's novels

01:16:00were ghostwritten by her.

01:16:04They have subsequently decided

01:16:05to revoke

01:16:06Mr. Asher's award.

01:16:09Additionally,

01:16:10he is banned

01:16:12from Nobel consideration

01:16:13for life.

01:16:17Oh my God!

01:16:18No, you can't do this!

01:16:21It's keeping him.

01:16:23His career

01:16:25is 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

01:16:30are absolutely done for.

01:16:32All 16 books

01:16:33you publish on your own

01:16:34were written by her.

01:16:39Huh?

01:16:40I have 16 books!

01:16:41Did you write

01:16:41a single one?

01:16:42I wrote

01:16:43the acknowledgments.

01:16:46You wrote

01:16:47the acknowledgments.

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

01:17:01like you?

01:17:02Dad?

01:17:03What did you know?

01:17:05My business

01:17:05is gonna go bust!

01:17:06You're gonna kill me!

01:17:08No.

01:17:09Darling, please

01:17:10do not worry

01:17:10about your safety.

01:17:11I've already filed

01:17:12a lawsuit

01:17:13and given this

01:17:13new evidence

01:17:14you'll all be living

01:17:15in complete safety

01:17:16very soon.

01:17:19Behind prison bars.

01:17:22Dan,

01:17:23you've always been

01:17:24so nice.

01:17:26You're such a kind

01:17:26person who couldn't

01:17:27really do this to us, right?

01:19:34Henry.

01:19:52Sorry, I didn't mean to see her yet.

01:19:55Well, I spoke to the agent.

01:19:56Seems as though Olivia and Jonathan had a massive falling out.

01:20:00Jonathan sold his house.

01:20:02And Olivia fled to Mexico.

01:20:07I guess they couldn't do so well without you after all.

01:20:10It's no longer my concern.

01:20:18I love that sofa.

01:20:20I used to lie there when I would write.

01:20:23And the dining room table, oh.

01:20:26No matter how many times I bumped it, whatever I spilled on it, it would just wipe right up.

01:20:32Did you know that I designed the kitchen?

01:20:34You did.

01:20:35I did not know that.

01:20:36Impressive.

01:20:37Do you still love cooking in there?

01:20:39Do you ever want to cook in there again?

01:20:43Didn't you say that the house has a buyer?

01:20:46I don't understand.

01:20:46How can I cook in someone else's kitchen?

01:20:49I'm the buyer.

01:20:49I bought the house for you.

01:20:54After all the love and time you put me to this home, only you deserve to have it.

01:21:00Henry, I can't accept that kind of gift.

01:21:04It's too much.

01:21:05Hold on, because there's more.

01:21:06Anne, in this life I will never let you down.

01:21:11I'll be loyal to you and our family.

01:21:14Then I will be an amazing husband to you.

01:21:18Anne Roy, will you marry me?

01:21:24I don't know what to say.
