00:00:00Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you. Jessica.
00:00:26Cheers. Maybe full surprises.
00:00:28Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you. Jessica, you have inherited this mansion, along with your father's business empire and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:39I just need a signature from you. Oh, and 105 million dollars in cash.
00:00:49We're rich!
00:00:50Let me hold on to you for your baby.
00:00:53Yeah. You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care, moving from place to place, and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:01:04It was real great to win the jackpot.
00:01:07No, my only wish is to, is to reunite with my mother.
00:01:11You bastard child!
00:01:13You will never reunite with your mother. We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:01:18My mother is gone because of you?!
00:01:21Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in THE Thornton family.
00:01:28Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:31Yes, your mother?
00:01:32USCIS.
00:01:33The movies were expired years ago.
00:01:35You're being deported.
00:01:36What? No, there must, must be some mistake.
00:01:38Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:42Whoops.
00:01:43Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:45What?
00:01:46Hey, baby.
00:01:48Hey.
00:01:49Adrian, are you cheating on me? With her?!
00:01:53Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:54You'll never win against them.
00:01:56That's true.
00:01:57Um, according to the terms of the will, non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:02:04Everything will pass to your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:02:08You thought you could get rich overnight? Keep dreaming.
00:02:13Seriously?
00:02:14Bon voyage, half sis.
00:02:24The boss is urgent.
00:02:25They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:29Jessica Miller?
00:02:32It's her.
00:02:41Oh, thank god you're alive.
00:02:42She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:46She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:53Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:55Jessica?
00:02:56Do I know you?
00:02:57She doesn't remember me.
00:02:58I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer. Just pretend we know each other. If I can get you out of here.
00:03:09She's spoken to the judge and Ms. Miller should be released immediately.
00:03:13Wait, wait, you can't deport her. She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:03:18Who's the lucky guy?
00:03:21I am. I marry her.
00:03:23A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:24Our marriage is real.
00:03:25Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:03:26100% real.
00:03:27Prove it then.
00:03:28That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:29Need more proof, officer? Look.
00:03:30This guy.
00:03:31This guy is.
00:03:33This guy is too scared of me for me.
00:03:35I am.
00:03:36I am.
00:03:37I am.
00:03:38I look in a kissing face.
00:03:40That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:57Need more proof, officer? Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:04:03And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:04:07Fine, you can have her.
00:04:09Thank you, officer.
00:04:15I think we're good.
00:04:17It's not over.
00:04:21We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:04:24And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:28Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:32Or it's game over.
00:04:34Well, thank you for the rescue.
00:04:42Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:44But, um...
00:04:46Daniel...
00:04:48Would you...
00:04:50Would you marry me?
00:04:52Oh, Jessica.
00:04:54I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:56I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:05:00But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire and...
00:05:06I'll share half of it with you.
00:05:08Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:05:10I only want you, Jessica.
00:05:12But, before I get my green card...
00:05:14You're gonna have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:05:18They're trying to get rid of me.
00:05:20And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:22And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:24Deal.
00:05:25What?
00:05:26That's it?
00:05:28This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:30Something that I want with you.
00:05:31Now, I know it's rushed.
00:05:32But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:36From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:37What?
00:05:38What?
00:05:39What?
00:05:40What?
00:05:41What?
00:05:42What?
00:05:43What?
00:05:44What?
00:05:45What?
00:05:46What?
00:05:47What?
00:05:48What?
00:05:49What?
00:05:50What?
00:05:51What?
00:05:52What?
00:05:53What?
00:05:54What?
00:05:55What?
00:05:56What?
00:05:57What?
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Oh, what I like to give my honeymoon?
00:06:01What?
00:06:02No, no.
00:06:04I love Christmas!
00:06:05No, no, no, no.
00:06:06Carnehop technique
00:06:07You can't do this!
00:06:10Jess, it's okay.
00:06:12Just wait here.
00:06:13I'll handle it.
00:06:14You can't do this!
00:06:16Jess, it's okay.
00:06:17Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:06:24What?
00:06:26Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:28Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:30And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:32It's too late, Dad.
00:06:33We already got married.
00:06:35Are you insane?
00:06:37Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:42Daniel Thornton.
00:06:44My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:46Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:06:50the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:54Wait, I recognize that face from the newspaper.
00:06:57That was James Thornton from the Thornton family,
00:07:01the family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:07:08Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:07:10She saved my life. I owe it to her.
00:07:12Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:07:14You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:07:18And you need to divorce that girl.
00:07:20Now, I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:07:24Just leave us alone.
00:07:25Sorry about that.
00:07:34Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:39Yeah.
00:07:41The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:45I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:50Jess.
00:07:50No.
00:07:51I can explain.
00:07:52I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:53Wait, wait, wait. Jess, Jess.
00:07:55I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:57I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:58Oh, really?
00:07:59Because your name is right here on the marriage stick.
00:08:02I share the last name of Thornton, and I am not one of them.
00:08:07Thornton is a common man.
00:08:08Just an ordinary guy.
00:08:10Really?
00:08:10Well, I don't believe you.
00:08:11I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:08:14Is he your father?
00:08:15Is he your father?
00:08:19No, he's not my father.
00:08:21He was threatening to drive you out of the country, and I was not going to have anything
00:08:24to do with it.
00:08:25Jess, I'm on your side.
00:08:27You're not one of them.
00:08:29I'm sorry.
00:08:33It's okay.
00:08:35Don't worry about it.
00:08:39Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:42Welcome.
00:08:43Is that your Labrador?
00:08:47That looks exactly like mine.
00:08:48I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:50No way.
00:08:52I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:54It's crazy.
00:08:59Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:09:03Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:09:06I mean, you've done so much for me already, and I just...
00:09:10Jess, please.
00:09:11I insist.
00:09:12We made a deal, remember?
00:09:14I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:09:20It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:21I'll see you next time.
00:09:27I'll see you next time.
00:09:29I'll see you next time.
00:09:31She's spying on me.
00:09:53I'll see you next time.
00:10:02I'll see you next time.
00:10:04Uh, yeah, could you, uh, pass me the towel that's just hanging up next to the door?
00:10:09Uh, yeah, sure, sure.
00:10:15Thanks.
00:10:16Oh, my God.
00:10:26What?
00:10:27I just got fired.
00:10:28What?
00:10:31Uh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:33Sam, please don't fire me.
00:10:48Sam, please don't fire me.
00:10:50I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:56I've worked for this company for years.
00:10:58I'm sorry, Jess.
00:10:59I'm sorry, Jess.
00:11:00There's nothing I can do.
00:11:03I'm sorry.
00:11:05Look who's here.
00:11:11Someone who just got fired, this suits you.
00:11:19It was you.
00:11:21I should have known you were behind this.
00:11:23I'm not gonna let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:25I'm gonna take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:33You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:34Who are you?
00:11:36My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman.
00:11:41of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:42Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:11:48What brings you here?
00:11:50Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:54Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion-dollar deal.
00:11:59Take a look.
00:12:00Oh, my God.
00:12:11It's real.
00:12:14Absolutely.
00:12:15With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:12:21It's a real shame you're gonna lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:24Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:32Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:35Good.
00:12:36And, uh, make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:42Jessica!
00:12:43You should have told me!
00:12:44What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:45Jessica!
00:12:46You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:47Thank you!
00:12:48Did you not just fire her?
00:12:49I changed my mind.
00:12:50Jessica's staying.
00:12:51Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:54Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her?
00:13:06Great.
00:13:07Thanks, Sam.
00:13:08This is not over.
00:13:23I can't believe it. Jessica kept her job, and she gets promoted.
00:13:28Don't worry, Lisa. I just spoke with James Thornton, and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:35Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:36Oh, my God. That's fantastic.
00:13:51No way.
00:13:53Jessica, how's work? Did you get your job back?
00:14:02Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:14:11Wow. Look who decided to show up.
00:14:15Too bad for you, Jess. Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:14:18I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little, pathetic, bastard child.
00:14:25You are out of luck.
00:14:28Well, that's a lie. You showed me the will, and I signed the documents.
00:14:33I'm sorry, Jessica. I've just discovered a revised will. It, um, supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:44Who is this?
00:14:45He's my lawyer. And a damn good one.
00:14:47Oh. You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:53You sleep with them?
00:14:55Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:15:00Talk all you want. It won't change anything.
00:15:03All right, Patrick.
00:15:12I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:15:14I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:15:17I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:15:20The revised will saw it.
00:15:21Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:15:24Here, take a look.
00:15:25You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:28Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:31You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law again.
00:15:34That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:37You don't understand the position he put me in.
00:15:39I'll deal with my father. Don't you worry about that.
00:15:42You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:49Um, this revised will is a fake. The original will stand.
00:15:53What the hell are you doing?
00:15:55He's doing the right thing.
00:15:59Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:16:02Congratulations.
00:16:03Oh. My. God.
00:16:07Patrick, do what you are supposed to do,
00:16:10or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:16:15Don't listen to it, Patrick.
00:16:17I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:16:18Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:21James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:16:25I sure can.
00:16:26Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29The original will stands.
00:16:31No!
00:16:31You are crazy!
00:16:32No, I'm not.
00:16:34According to the original will,
00:16:36Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:38Kristen, you're out.
00:16:40I think you two should leave.
00:16:42You homewrecker.
00:16:44Just like your mother.
00:16:45I will not allow violence.
00:16:49I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:53I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:58Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:17:00You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:17:02You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:17:05I had none.
00:17:06And you took my mother away from me, and I still don't know where she is!
00:17:12You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:17:15And I would rather give it away to a charity
00:17:17than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:22You two should pack your things up.
00:17:28You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:30What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:41Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:42I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:44The right thing?
00:17:45Going against me?
00:17:48Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:50Her game is over.
00:17:51I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:55So what do you want?
00:17:58I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:18:00I'll do whatever you want.
00:18:11Whatever I want?
00:18:14Like what exactly?
00:18:16I'll marry Ashley.
00:18:19You'll marry Ashley?
00:18:21Yeah.
00:18:22You're willing to do that?
00:18:23Yeah, I am.
00:18:26But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:28Okay.
00:18:30Okay.
00:18:32Deal.
00:18:33I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:36So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:38Yeah.
00:18:40I am.
00:18:41Okay, good.
00:18:43I sure hope she's working.
00:18:45She is.
00:18:46What's wrong?
00:18:52We have...
00:18:53A guest.
00:18:56Mr. Thornton.
00:18:58Good to see you again.
00:18:59Interview time.
00:19:01Great.
00:19:04When did you two meet?
00:19:06Uh, we met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:19:09What do you say, Jessica?
00:19:12Huh?
00:19:13Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:19:15Mm-hmm.
00:19:15Interesting.
00:19:17And when did you decide to get married?
00:19:20Eight months ago.
00:19:20Six months ago.
00:19:22Six months or eight months?
00:19:23Which one is it?
00:19:24Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:26Sorry, I just...
00:19:27Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:29Sure.
00:19:31Easy mistake to make.
00:19:33And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:35March 15th.
00:19:37March 15th?
00:19:39All right.
00:19:44Uh, that's it?
00:19:46Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:48I have everything I need.
00:19:50I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:54Oh, wait.
00:19:55Uh, this.
00:19:56How did we do in there?
00:20:02It was pretty bad.
00:20:06Look.
00:20:08I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:20:10I know who you are.
00:20:13Okay.
00:20:16You want to bribe me?
00:20:19Yes.
00:20:20I can't be bribed.
00:20:22Here's one million dollars.
00:20:26Two million dollars.
00:20:30Right.
00:20:34Three.
00:20:36Million dollars.
00:20:37It's tempting.
00:20:38But like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:40Please.
00:20:41Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:44I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:46She means the world to me.
00:20:48She saved my life.
00:20:49I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:52Make it count.
00:20:54Next time I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:58Yeah.
00:20:58If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:21:01Of course.
00:21:02And one more thing.
00:21:04I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:21:08I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:21:10Don't try and fool me.
00:21:11She gave us another chance.
00:21:18Oh, thank God.
00:21:19We have one week to get our story straight.
00:21:23Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:25You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:28Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special, so I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:51This tree is amazing.
00:21:53What happened?
00:21:59Let me have a look.
00:22:03Let me have a look.
00:22:03Let me have a look.
00:22:23Um, I have a festive gift for you, too.
00:22:43Wow.
00:22:45Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:48And then, I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:56It did it.
00:22:57It did.
00:23:18It's good to be wrong.
00:23:27Maybe.
00:23:28Maybe not.
00:23:31I'm skipping wrong.
00:23:32Maybe.
00:23:33Maybe not.
00:23:34No.
00:23:35No.
00:23:36No.
00:23:37No.
00:23:38No.
00:23:39No.
00:23:40No.
00:23:41No.
00:23:42No.
00:23:43No.
00:23:44No.
00:23:45No.
00:23:46No.
00:23:47No.
00:23:49No.
00:23:52No.
00:23:53No.
00:23:56No.
00:23:56No.
00:23:58No.
00:23:58No.
00:23:59So that is how you negotiate.
00:24:03You're a learning fan.
00:24:05Oh.
00:24:05I love it.
00:24:10Oh.
00:24:11Non.
00:24:12No.
00:24:12you're stuck
00:24:21uh hold on i've got this
00:24:23uh oh
00:24:42so
00:24:48so
00:24:56so
00:25:04so
00:25:12I don't know how much looks familiar.
00:25:24You know, I've seen this before in the, uh, in the magazine.
00:25:28It looks like one of those, um, Thornton family watches.
00:25:36Is it real?
00:25:37Uh, no.
00:25:40You wear a fake watch?
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:57I'm so happy, Jess.
00:26:03There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:26:10Oh, my God. Did I just sleep with Daniel last night? I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:29Good morning.
00:26:39This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:41Daniel, I'm, I'm so sorry about last night. It was, it wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:53She didn't mean it.
00:26:55Oh, Jessica. Last night was amazing.
00:26:59Uh...
00:27:01Yeah, Jess, uh, I get it. It was, uh, it was a one-time thing.
00:27:09Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:15Anyway, it's, uh, your big day today.
00:27:19We're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:27:22Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:28Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:31Oh, uh, no, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:34Uh, what I was meant to say is, I'm gonna help you.
00:27:40I don't know what to do, mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:48We still have a chance.
00:27:50That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:56So we just need a board member to back us up.
00:27:59I will call Richard. Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:28:02And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:28:05And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:28:08You go, girl.
00:28:20These clothes are beautiful, but, uh, very expensive.
00:28:27Like this one. That is $9,000.
00:28:32Jess, don't worry about it. It's on me.
00:28:36Look at it as, uh, my first gift to my wife.
00:28:40You know what? Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:42Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO.
00:28:45Which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:47Trust me. It's an investment.
00:28:50Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I succeed today?
00:28:54You come here a lot?
00:28:56Uh, no.
00:28:57Well, of course, Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:29:00Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:29:03You'll look great in it.
00:29:05Well, Jess, you look amazing.
00:29:13You think so, though?
00:29:15Yeah.
00:29:16This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:29:19Absolutely. Great choice.
00:29:21We'll take this one.
00:29:24Something on your mind?
00:29:26Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:32Oh, uh, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:36Okay.
00:29:43So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:47Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:51But we got a discount.
00:29:54Show on.
00:30:03What a slut.
00:30:06Trust me, Jess.
00:30:09You can do this.
00:30:10Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:30:13They will.
00:30:14Trust me.
00:30:15Just speak from the heart.
00:30:16Show your true self.
00:30:19Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:30:23The cynic.
00:30:27Ted, we're gonna talk about this later.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:32You go in.
00:30:33I'll lead you in there soon, okay?
00:30:36Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:40Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:43You're gonna need it.
00:30:45You don't have the votes.
00:30:46I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO, but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:57Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services, reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:31:05We have over 10,000 employees worldwide who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up.
00:31:14And I was one of them.
00:31:16I know them.
00:31:17And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:31:23Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:25All in favor?
00:31:26Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:27He picked his secret child to be the CEO.
00:31:28Only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:29Richard, if I may...
00:31:30I'm not done talking.
00:31:31You can't lead us.
00:31:32And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:33Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:34Go ahead.
00:31:35But I won't change my mind.
00:31:36Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:41Who the hell are you?
00:31:42Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:43What did you just say?
00:31:44How do I say this?
00:31:45Uh...
00:31:46You're a sex-pervert.
00:31:47What?
00:31:48Go ahead, but I won't change my mind.
00:31:55Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:59Who the hell are you?
00:32:00Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:32:04What did you just say?
00:32:06How do I say this?
00:32:08Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:32:11What?
00:32:11You see, everyone, this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:25Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:28They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled. I'm innocent.
00:32:32They've also got in contact with some of the victims, and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:36Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:38You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:40And we have financial records to prove it.
00:32:48The evidence is clear.
00:32:51He's guilty.
00:32:53Okay then, let's all vote for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:32:58All in favor?
00:33:03We have 15 votes.
00:33:06The board has decided.
00:33:07Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:33:11Security, escort him out immediately.
00:33:14I know my way.
00:33:20And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:25I'm sorry, I was late.
00:33:42I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:44No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:45That was so worth the wait.
00:33:47Good.
00:33:48This is not over.
00:33:52You'll see.
00:33:53How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:54You're about to be evicted, sir.
00:33:56Bye-bye.
00:34:02She won again, that bitch.
00:34:04I know.
00:34:05It's so unfair.
00:34:06Do we have a guest?
00:34:08Lisa, honey.
00:34:09I've been trying to reach you.
00:34:10Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:34:13I've been busy.
00:34:15Busy.
00:34:16Dealing with Jessica.
00:34:18How did you know?
00:34:19Oh, I know.
00:34:20And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:34:23Again.
00:34:24No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:26I only needed you to help me get better, Jessica.
00:34:27To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:35Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:37I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:41Who are you calling?
00:34:45Is it?
00:34:47Yes, Jess.
00:34:48It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:50Oh, my God.
00:34:51Mom.
00:34:52Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:55The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:58I had no option but to vanish.
00:35:02Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:35:03It's okay.
00:35:04Like, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:35:06I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:35:10Daniel, how did you find her?
00:35:12I have a few powerful friends.
00:35:13They did me a favor.
00:35:16But I'll leave you two alone.
00:35:27Two more, please.
00:35:31Daniel.
00:35:34Adrian.
00:35:35Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:37Oh, my God.
00:35:38How long has it been?
00:35:39Ten years.
00:35:40Ten years.
00:35:41Oh, my God.
00:35:43The last time I must have seen you was law school.
00:35:47Yep.
00:35:48Go Reds.
00:35:50Go Reds.
00:35:51What are you doing here?
00:35:54Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:56Just want to come in for a quick bite.
00:35:58Nice, man.
00:35:59Nice.
00:36:00I saw your date earlier.
00:36:02She looks pretty.
00:36:03Yeah, my wife.
00:36:05Your wife?
00:36:06Yeah, Jess.
00:36:07You're married?
00:36:08Yes.
00:36:09Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:36:10Come on, let's go say hi.
00:36:12Come and say hello.
00:36:13It's good to see you, buddy.
00:36:14Good to see you, too, man.
00:36:16Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:36:19Adrian, this is Jess.
00:36:20Jess, this is Adrian.
00:36:22We went to law school together.
00:36:28I don't want to see him.
00:36:33I don't want to see him.
00:36:37You two know each other.
00:36:39Yes, Daniel.
00:36:40I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:43Come on, Jess.
00:36:47Don't you miss me.
00:36:48I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:51You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:53No, I don't.
00:36:58I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:37:00Okay, Daniel?
00:37:02Relax.
00:37:03Now.
00:37:08I'm leaving.
00:37:09I'm leaving.
00:37:13But she knows she's flying.
00:37:19Boss, Adrian Wesley now repsets Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:37:23They wanted to test the word.
00:37:25I should have known.
00:37:26What else?
00:37:27Adrian also used to meet Jessica.
00:37:29Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:34It caused all this trouble.
00:37:39That son of a bitch.
00:37:41We need to win this war.
00:37:43Do whatever it takes.
00:37:44Daniel?
00:37:53Daniel?
00:37:55Sorry.
00:37:56Did I wake you?
00:37:57No.
00:37:58Can...
00:37:59Can you join me in bed, please?
00:38:01Are you sure?
00:38:10I just...
00:38:12I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:38:15The restaurant.
00:38:19I got a bit carried away.
00:38:21Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:24Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:25He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:27I didn't care for Adrian once.
00:38:31But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:35I want you to know...
00:38:37That I'm...
00:38:38I'm here because of you.
00:38:41And you're the only one who I love.
00:38:46No one else.
00:38:47I love you too, Jess.
00:39:01And I'm not going anywhere.
00:39:02I love you too, Jess.
00:39:02And I'm not going anywhere.
00:39:02Good morning, husband.
00:39:18Morning, wife.
00:39:21Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:39:23If only you were with me.
00:39:24You're going to do great today.
00:39:46Jess, here's your coffee.
00:40:01What's wrong?
00:40:02Oh, it's just...
00:40:03It's this job.
00:40:04It's all so new to me.
00:40:06Okay, calm down.
00:40:08Remember, you're the CEO.
00:40:10Which means you're the boss.
00:40:12Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:40:15Hey, Jess.
00:40:18Look at you, sitting in the big chair now.
00:40:21Oh, Giana, I am so happy you're here.
00:40:25Aw.
00:40:27You must be Daniel.
00:40:29Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:33I'm flattered.
00:40:34I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:40:36It's exhausting.
00:40:38Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:40I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:44Jess?
00:40:44Do you like Giana being here?
00:40:50Of course.
00:40:52We've been besties since forever.
00:40:55Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:57Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Giana?
00:41:04Oh, I don't...
00:41:05I know what you mean.
00:41:06I don't understand.
00:41:07How would you like to come work for me?
00:41:14Of course.
00:41:14Of course.
00:41:15Okay, then.
00:41:17My first order as a CEO.
00:41:22Giana, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:26Oh, my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:41:29See?
00:41:31Being a boss is easy.
00:41:33You can do whatever you want.
00:41:34Oh, my God.
00:41:43What's wrong?
00:41:44The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:48What is happening?
00:41:49This isn't wrong.
00:41:52The stocks are getting dumped.
00:41:54Well, well, well.
00:41:56Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:59What did you do, Lisa?
00:42:00I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:42:05The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:42:09What do you want?
00:42:11Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:42:16Yeah, no way.
00:42:17Okay.
00:42:19Then I will destroy this company.
00:42:22Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:42:24They're angry.
00:42:30What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:33Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:35Wait, Jess.
00:42:37Don't go.
00:42:38Take a seat.
00:42:40What is it?
00:42:41Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:46Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:49That's impossible.
00:42:50You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:54I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:57God damn it!
00:42:59God, she's annoying.
00:43:04No, you must be my lucky star.
00:43:08Daniel.
00:43:09Daniel.
00:43:17Jehella?
00:43:18I know who you are, Daniel.
00:43:20You're the son of James Thornton.
00:43:22How did you find out?
00:43:24My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:25I used to work for your father.
00:43:27Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:29I'll pay you.
00:43:30How much do you want?
00:43:30I don't want your money.
00:43:32I care for my friend.
00:43:35Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:38I'm sorry, Jehella.
00:43:40It's okay.
00:43:42I just want to know why.
00:43:45She hates my family.
00:43:47I have to lie to her.
00:43:48She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:52I can see that.
00:43:55You already think so?
00:43:56Yes.
00:43:57I love her too.
00:43:58She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:44:04That's good to hear.
00:44:06Please protect her.
00:44:15Daniel.
00:44:17It's my mom.
00:44:19Adrian threatened her.
00:44:20Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:27He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:44:30What should we do?
00:44:33Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:36I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:50I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:58Look her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:45:00Got it, boss.
00:45:01She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:45:03Good.
00:45:11Jess has been taken care of.
00:45:13Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:45:16Thank you, Daniel.
00:45:17But I'm still scared.
00:45:23I just, I need a day off.
00:45:25I love the sound of that.
00:45:27What do you have in mind?
00:45:29I was thinking.
00:45:33I want to buy a house.
00:45:44So?
00:45:45Do you like this place?
00:45:48It's amazing.
00:45:50But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:53But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:57No.
00:45:58No.
00:45:58I insist.
00:46:00You've done so much to help me.
00:46:03Besides, we can live together here.
00:46:06Miss Thornton.
00:46:07Hi.
00:46:08Your father is here.
00:46:10Are you meeting here?
00:46:11Yeah.
00:46:15Well, I've never met your parents.
00:46:19So, I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:46:24Oh, is that him?
00:46:28Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:30Jess, wait.
00:46:31Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:33Wait.
00:46:34Um, I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:39Why?
00:46:40Uh, because he has a heart condition.
00:46:45I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:48Okay.
00:46:48Okay, I'll just stay here then.
00:46:55Good.
00:47:00Dad?
00:47:01Go on.
00:47:02Daniel, what the hell?
00:47:04Jessica's here.
00:47:04She can't see her face.
00:47:06Don't take them off.
00:47:09I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:47:11Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:47:19Ashley, really?
00:47:20Not today.
00:47:23And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:26Mother insisted I'm wearing Miss Cherry event in the morning ride.
00:47:31Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:35I'm approachable.
00:47:38And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:40I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:42I give you Clara, and you marry Ashley.
00:47:50Why does he look so nervous?
00:47:53Am I not good enough?
00:47:58Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:48:01I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:48:03I want this deal done now.
00:48:06Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:48:08Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:48:11This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:48:14You should have left it alone.
00:48:16All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:48:19She is coming to town in a few days.
00:48:21What?
00:48:23Jess!
00:48:24Uh, Jess.
00:48:25Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:36Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:39You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:40Jimmy?
00:48:41Hmm?
00:48:43I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:45It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:48And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:52It really, really suits you.
00:48:54Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:56It's, uh, one I'm fond of.
00:48:58So, who is Ashley?
00:49:02I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:49:05Oh.
00:49:06She's just an old family friend.
00:49:10They grew up and went to law school together.
00:49:13And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:49:17Oh.
00:49:17Her wedding is, uh, approaching soon.
00:49:21And, uh, I like Daniel to attend.
00:49:24Dad!
00:49:25I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:27No, it's, it's fine.
00:49:28Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood
00:49:31and more about his life.
00:49:33You bastard child!
00:49:34Shh!
00:49:36Well, well.
00:49:41What do we have here?
00:49:43You think you can afford this place?
00:49:45You're about to lose this battle
00:49:48and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:51Who's this clown?
00:49:55Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:57How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:59How do you know my name?
00:50:01And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:50:04That's enough!
00:50:06Don't talk to my father like that.
00:50:09Oh.
00:50:12He's your father.
00:50:13How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:50:18Don't talk to my family like that.
00:50:22Your family.
00:50:23Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:26Especially your mother.
00:50:28The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:31A whore.
00:50:32Oh.
00:50:39Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:43Especially your mother.
00:50:45The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:48A whore.
00:50:49Oh.
00:50:50Damn!
00:50:54How dare you slap me!
00:50:57That is enough, Kristen.
00:51:01You're not gonna wear a hand on my wife.
00:51:06Ladies, you need to leave.
00:51:08Now.
00:51:09You can't throw us out.
00:51:10We're buyers.
00:51:11We're not going anywhere.
00:51:12The honor of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:51:15You need to leave now, or I will call security.
00:51:17You will regret this.
00:51:24I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:26Now leave.
00:51:31Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:39You stood up for me.
00:51:41Well, we're a family, Jimmy.
00:51:43It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:44Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:51You're a nice girl.
00:51:54You found a good wife, son.
00:51:57Dad.
00:51:59About Ashy's wedding.
00:52:00I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it.
00:52:02I'll look into it.
00:52:04I'll speak to her about it.
00:52:05Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:52:07Daniel can still attend.
00:52:09It's not a problem.
00:52:10Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:52:12I'm not the jealous type.
00:52:15At least I don't want you to miss your first crush's way.
00:52:20Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:52:22Oh, there's a long party.
00:52:25You two want to come?
00:52:26It's in three hours.
00:52:29Yeah.
00:52:30Dad, we'll go.
00:52:32Great.
00:52:32Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:50Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:57And James Thornton is here.
00:52:58I know you don't want to see him.
00:53:03But Jess, my dad's here.
00:53:05He's gonna join us later.
00:53:07Okay.
00:53:09The bidding's about to start.
00:53:15Oh, that bitch is here!
00:53:17I know.
00:53:18Don't worry.
00:53:19We can teach him a lesson.
00:53:20Yeah, how?
00:53:21Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:26With money.
00:53:26Here with money?
00:53:27What money?
00:53:28I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:30Yeah, I know.
00:53:30Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:32She said he's willing to donate us some cash
00:53:34if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:36Oh.
00:53:39You're the best.
00:53:42I know.

00:55:18Where did you get that money from?
00:55:20Well...
00:55:21Do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:55:24Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:29Jessica?
00:55:30James Thornton.
00:55:32In the flesh.
00:55:33Or...
00:55:34Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:35I want to apologize to you.
00:55:37I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:42But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:45Well...
00:55:46I don't know what to say.
00:55:49Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:55:51You just gotta trust me.
00:55:52Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:56Jess!
00:55:58Jessica!
00:55:59Don't!
00:56:00Follow me!
00:56:04Oh...
00:56:05This could get interesting.
00:56:07Look who's all alone.
00:56:21No, just leave...
00:56:22Just leave me alone.
00:56:23You're never gonna win against James Thornton.
00:56:25He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:27You're gonna lose everything.
00:56:29I...
00:56:30Poor babe.
00:56:31Still played by the big boys.
00:56:32Yes.
00:56:33James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:37What...
00:56:38What did you just say?
00:56:39James Thornton and his son?
00:56:41Wait Jess, you didn't know?
00:56:43Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:48Oh my god.
00:56:49I didn't know that.
00:56:50Now that I do...
00:56:53That's enough!
00:56:55Oh!
00:56:56Excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:58Crown Prince of the Thornton family.
00:57:00Family!
00:57:10This man's been lying to you all alone.
00:57:12Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:57:15Both of you.
00:57:16Get out of here.
00:57:19Hey.
00:57:27Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:29Am I a joke to you?
00:57:30No.
00:57:31What do you mean?
00:57:32You.
00:57:33And your father.
00:57:35You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:38No.
00:57:39I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:42I can't...
00:57:43I can't trust you.
00:57:44You lied to me.
00:57:46You're right.
00:57:48You're right.
00:57:51I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:55You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:56Another big secret.
00:58:01Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:58:08The other big secret is...
00:58:10The first time we met isn't what I think it is.
00:58:14It was five years ago.
00:58:16Five years ago?
00:58:17Yes.
00:58:19At a party.
00:58:21I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:32Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:33You're alive.
00:58:38I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:41But you won't remember that.
00:58:44But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:48But that...
00:58:50That was you?
00:58:51Yes.
00:58:52My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:54But I didn't care.
00:58:56I confronted him.
00:58:58You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:59:00You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:59:02I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:59:04That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:59:08And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:59:12And I felt so guilty.
00:59:13It's okay.
00:59:18I was ashamed to approach you.
00:59:20I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:59:22And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:59:26Now I know.
00:59:27And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:31Well...
00:59:33I saved you.
00:59:35And...
00:59:37You saved me.
00:59:39I guess we...
00:59:41Just belong together.
00:59:44Eww.
00:59:46Corny.
00:59:50But just...
00:59:53No more secrets.
00:59:55Okay?
00:59:57I promise.
00:59:59No more secrets.
01:00:13You're up early.
01:00:17Yeah.
01:00:19I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:21Better sooner than later.
01:00:22Sooner than later.
01:00:27Giannis just texted me.
01:00:28She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:33I should postpone it.
01:00:34No.
01:00:35You should definitely go to that.
01:00:37You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:39Really?
01:00:40Yeah.
01:00:41Get your mom up from the airport.
01:00:42And I'll bring you straight to the office.
01:00:44Thanks.
01:00:45You're the best.
01:00:50Well that went better than I thought.
01:00:52Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:54You did great.
01:00:55Great.
01:00:59Heya, Jess.
01:01:01What are you doing here?
01:01:06What are you doing here?
01:01:08I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:01:13Gianna.
01:01:15Can you wait outside a moment?
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:21I'm telling you now.
01:01:23Whatever bad, made up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel.
01:01:27It's helping work.
01:01:29Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:32Everything?
01:01:33Are you so sure?
01:01:34Yeah.
01:01:35Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:37There is nothing more to hide.
01:01:38And did they also tell you Daniel is supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:42What?
01:01:43Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:45Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:47Ring any bells?
01:01:49Ashley.
01:01:53Ashley.
01:01:55Who is Ashley?
01:01:57I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:59Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:02:04They grew up and went to law school together.
01:02:06Yeah.
01:02:07And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:02:13He did mention Ashley.
01:02:18He did?
01:02:19Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:02:21I remember that conversation.
01:02:27Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:30I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:31Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:02:33What are you laughing about?
01:02:35Who?
01:02:39Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:02:42You're not gonna see her.
01:02:46After years of separation with your mother, Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:53And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:55I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:59So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:03:03Just like old times.
01:03:05Yeah, well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:03:09Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:03:12Care to find out together?
01:03:13Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:03:23Yes.
01:03:25You're free to live in this country.
01:03:27Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:31I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:33Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:35Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:37We'll go, sir.
01:03:39Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:40You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:45Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:48Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:50Agents, do you think?
01:03:51Wait.
01:03:52What?
01:03:53This is a mistake.
01:03:54No.
01:03:55Clara's got past customs.
01:03:56She can stay.
01:03:57Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:04:01I don't think so.
01:04:02Back off, Lisa.
01:04:03Watch it, pretty boy.
01:04:05Jess.
01:04:06Jess, Mom!
01:04:07What are you doing?
01:04:08Where are they taking my mother?
01:04:09Mom, I will bring you back, I promise!
01:04:11Just stay strong!
01:04:13Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:04:16Adrian, you sabotage this!
01:04:18You'll pay for this!
01:04:20See, babe?
01:04:21I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:04:23You said everything was taken care of!
01:04:25Jess, it's not me.
01:04:26It's them!
01:04:27You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:29Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about, Jess?
01:04:34Jess?
01:04:35He said that you were gonna marry Ashley.
01:04:37Okay, so it's true!
01:04:38Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:42No.
01:04:43No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:44Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:47I can't trust you anymore!
01:04:49Jess!
01:04:50Can you, it's just, uh...
01:04:51Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:53You never get in her back.
01:04:54Ha!
01:05:16Oh, thank God you're alive!
01:05:18Huh?
01:05:44Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:46Her paperwork was flawless.
01:05:48You're right, boss.
01:05:49I check with customers in the U.S. C.I.S.
01:05:51The label confirmed that she illegally entered the country.
01:05:54And killed her.
01:05:55What is it, boss?
01:06:00Agents, do you think?
01:06:01Wait!
01:06:02What?
01:06:03This is a mistake!
01:06:04No!
01:06:05Jess!
01:06:06Jess!
01:06:07Baby!
01:06:08Mom!
01:06:11The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:13They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:06:15Hold on, thanks.
01:06:16Hold on, thanks.
01:06:19You're right, boss.
01:06:20We found out those people want to.
01:06:22What should we do?
01:06:24I need to find out where they took them.
01:06:26Use all our contacts.
01:06:27I'm not gonna let them get away with this.
01:06:29On it, boss.
01:06:30On it, boss.
01:06:39Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:41I bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:44We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:47Don't look at me like that.
01:06:48You disgust me.
01:06:49Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:50I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:51It's about your mom.
01:06:52I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:53The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:54What are you talking about?
01:06:55I spoke to Ted.
01:06:56He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:06:58It was a setup.
01:06:59Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:07:15After all the lies, you're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:07:26Hello bastard child.
01:07:28Yes, we have your mother.
01:07:30And if you ever want to see her again, follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:07:35And don't bring anyone, especially Daniel.
01:07:41Let me come with you.
01:07:42No, they want me alone. I don't want to respect you.
01:07:44Jess.
01:07:45Don't follow me.
01:07:46I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:54Mom?
01:07:55Master child, over here.
01:07:58You let her go. This has gone on far enough.
01:08:01I'm not so fast, sis.
01:08:03This is only the beginning.
01:08:09You sign this, we let her go.
01:08:13And what is it?
01:08:15An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:08:18The house.
01:08:19The company.
01:08:21Everything.
01:08:29Signed.
01:08:32Now let her go.
01:08:33God, you are so nice.
01:08:37Now what more do you want?
01:08:39Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:47Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:50The house.
01:08:51Wait.
01:08:56That's better.
01:09:04Now bark like a dog.
01:09:09Come on.
01:09:10Come on.
01:09:15That's enough, Kristen.
01:09:21We're getting out here, Monk.
01:09:28Let's get her out of here.
01:09:30Come on, let's go.
01:09:32Come on, Daniel.
01:09:36Come on.
01:09:38Mom, we need to finish with it.
01:09:39Mom, we gotta go.
01:09:40Come on.
01:09:42Daniel.
01:09:48Jess.
01:09:50No, don't.
01:09:51Don't try and talk.
01:09:52The police.
01:09:53They're on their way.
01:09:54Jess.
01:09:55I'm so sorry.
01:09:56Why are you apologizing?
01:09:58Just don't move.
01:10:09Well, the doctor said it was nothing serious, so...
01:10:13You'll be out of here soon.
01:10:14Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:10:17I am so sorry.
01:10:19Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:10:22You saved my mom.
01:10:23You saved us.
01:10:26Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:29Officer, you're here.
01:10:31Yes.
01:10:32You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:10:36Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:39He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:41Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:44Jess, it's okay.
01:10:47We can do the interview.
01:10:52We can do the interview.
01:10:55Are you insane?
01:10:57We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:59Jess, when you see we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas, there's no better time to do this.
01:11:05You're right.
01:11:06We're ready, officer.
01:11:07Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:11:08When did you two first meet?
01:11:09Five years and four months ago.
01:11:10I don't understand.
01:11:11Last time you said it was six months ago, and the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:11:12We lied, officer.
01:11:13But it was five years ago.
01:11:14At a pool party.
01:11:15And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:16It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:17But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:21It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:22But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:23It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:24But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:29It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:32But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:42give you two the benefit of the doubt. It sounds pretty far-fetched, but for some reason I want to
01:11:52give you two the benefit of the doubt. Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother. There's
01:11:58nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me. One last question. How frequently
01:12:04have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:12:12Relax. I can tell it's been at least three times. Right, well that's my interview
01:12:19done. You two are quite the couple. Thank you, officer. Daniel, Daniel, she's coming. Who's
01:12:28coming? Your fiancé, that's who.
01:12:42Your fiancé, that's who. Ashley. I guess I'm not done yet. You betrayed my family's trust,
01:12:50Daniel. Ashley, please, can't we talk about this? So you're Jessica Miller, hmm? Adrian's told
01:12:59me all about you. I don't know what Adrian told you, but it's not what you think. Daniel
01:13:07was supposed to marry me, and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything. Ashley, our
01:13:14engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:13:17Oh, I see. You think this is over. I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family. The Thornton name
01:13:30is as good as ruined. You can't do that, Ashley. Watch me.
01:13:40You're not the only heiress here. I own Miller Empire, and if you come for the Thorntons,
01:13:56the Miller Empire is going to come for you so hard. You've got guts, Jessica. I like you.
01:14:10I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that. This is so much better than watching TV.
01:14:18Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:14:26I always knew Daniel didn't love me, but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after
01:14:33his true love. But I guess I'm happy that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:41That's him. So... that's it? That's it. Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:58What's it? Andrea, bring the car around.
01:15:01Did that actually just happen?
01:15:06Yeah. Wow.
01:15:08You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:15:14You didn't see that, Tron.
01:15:15This is all your fault, Mom. If you wouldn't have been so reckless,
01:15:20then maybe you wouldn't be in this mess.
01:15:22Don't put all the blame on me. You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:15:25Where is Adrian? You should be here right now.
01:15:29Miss me?
01:15:30Where have you been?
01:15:31Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:15:34Don't worry about it. Everything's going according to plan.
01:15:37Plan? What plan? Everything's falling apart.
01:15:40What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:53Well, me, myself, I done nothing illegal.
01:15:57You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:16:00You set us up!
01:16:02I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:16:05After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:16:10You're not going to get away with this, asshole.
01:16:16I already have.
01:16:24I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:28It used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:31Then things just went south.
01:16:34Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:16:37We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:39No more hatred.
01:16:41No more backstabbing.
01:16:42I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:44I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:52Jessica?
01:16:53Wow.
01:16:55I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:59I was wrong, and I know I can never fully make up for it, but I want to try.
01:17:06James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:17:09It's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:17:11I know, Clara.
01:17:12Jess, are you all right?
01:17:20Yeah, no, I'm fine.
01:17:23You know, I just feel nauseous, that's all.
01:17:29Have you been getting any other symptoms, like dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:34Yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:17:37Oh.
01:17:40Sweetheart.
01:17:41You're pregnant.
01:17:43Really?
01:17:44Really?
01:17:44You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:49We're going to have a baby?
01:17:52Wait, that means I'm going to be a grandpa.
01:17:55Daniel.
01:18:08Something you need to do.
01:18:12What's this?
01:18:13This is a ring your grandma left.
01:18:17And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:18:21Okay?
01:18:21I'm going to do this?
01:18:23Yeah.
01:18:23Come on.
01:18:26No.
01:18:34Jess.
01:18:35Jess!
01:18:39Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:43And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:45And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:50And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:53I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:56What I'm trying to say is, Jess,
01:19:03will you marry me?
01:19:04For real this time?
01:19:07Okay.
01:19:07Yes, Daniel.
01:19:09Yes, I will marry you.
01:19:11Yes!
01:19:11Really?
01:19:12Yes!
01:19:12Yes!
01:19:13Daniel.
01:19:14What?
01:19:1518,000 WAN of dowries?
01:19:20What? 18,000 yuan of dowries?
01:19:32Vani, you have a paralyzed mom and a lousy gambling dad to your family.
01:19:36I'm a good match way out of your league.
01:19:38You should send me a car as dowries instead of asking me for dowries.
01:19:41But I earn more than you, and I paid the down payment of the matrimonial house.
01:19:46Your parents' names are on the house property certificate,
01:19:48and now you ask me for a car?
01:19:51I have no money.
01:19:56Why don't you ask your family for the money?
01:19:59If they don't give, take it as a loan.
01:20:01We can pay them back after we get married.
01:20:06Vani, I really want to marry you.
01:20:09Can't you just do more for our future life, huh?
01:20:13Chad, don't get me wrong.
01:20:15I'm here to ask for dowries, not give out.
01:20:19Vani, you'd better take the offer.
01:20:21It is you eager to marry out, saying your mom is seriously ill,
01:20:24and you need a marriage to relieve her worries.
01:20:25Look at you, the least eligible woman.
01:20:27I pity you so that I offer to marry you.
01:20:29If you don't buy me a car, the marriage is off the table.
01:20:32Right.
01:20:32I'm desperate to get married, but not desperate enough to marry you.
01:20:36You!
01:20:36If I won't marry you, who would like to be with you?
01:20:47Hey dude, are you single?
01:20:49Do you mind having a wife?
01:20:50Get on board and go register now.
01:20:52I'd like to give it a shot.
01:20:53Anyhow, I don't have a wife.
01:20:56Do you see that?
01:20:57He want to marry me.
01:20:59Come back.
01:21:09I'm married?
01:21:10Pack your things tonight, and move to my, our home.
01:21:17Where?
01:21:18So, we are living together?
01:21:21What are you thinking about?
01:21:22We're married.
01:21:23It's natural for us to live together.
01:21:26Well, I'm John, an office worker.
01:21:30I'm usually busy at work.
01:21:32When you move in, you don't need to take care of me.
01:21:34I can support you with my salary.
01:21:36I have to work now.
01:21:37See you then.
01:21:37I'll pick you up after work.
01:21:39I see.
01:21:39We are working slaves.
01:21:41It's not easy to make a living.
01:21:42Just go back to work.
01:21:43How do you go home?
01:21:44Why not take a taxi?
01:21:45I'll pay for it.
01:21:46There are shared bikes at the gate.
01:21:47I can ride one.
01:21:48Working slave?
01:21:49Hmm.
01:21:49My grandma chose her to be my wife.
01:21:51She seems to be interesting for now.
01:21:54I fainted last time.
01:21:55It's her saved me.
01:21:57After I left the hospital, she knew I lived alone, and made many calls to cheer me up.
01:22:02John, she's the kindest girl I've ever met.
01:22:05You love her when you see her.
01:22:07Grandma, we are in a new era.
01:22:09Why do you want to arrange marriage for me?
01:22:11What?
01:22:11I got her schedule yesterday.
01:22:13I want you to meet her.
01:22:15If you think she's a good girl, you can develop your relationship after marriage.
01:22:20Hear me out.
01:22:20If you don't give it a shot, you'll see my scenery casket when you get back.
01:22:25Boss, we've got 1,000 acre land of suburb of eastern China.
01:22:30Construction will be started in the middle of this month.
01:22:32Central Bank is asking us for a loan.
01:22:35Yes.
01:22:36Well.
01:22:37That's all for today.
01:22:45I'm going to pick up my wife home.
01:22:46Pick up your wife?
01:22:47What?
01:22:48Our boss is married?
01:22:52What gift should I give to a girl on our first date?
01:22:55Your first date?
01:22:56A lightning marriage?
01:22:57I think you are suitable for our project in Africa.
01:23:04Do you think so?
01:23:05Sorry, boss.
01:23:06I won't do it again.
01:23:06Just answer my question.
01:23:08No more bullshit.
01:23:09I think if you're not familiar with each other, it's better to send flowers.
01:23:15Half an hour.
01:23:16In just half an hour, I'll put the imported roses to the given location.
01:23:20Good.
01:23:20From now on, you drive my car and I'll drive yours.
01:23:29What?
01:23:32What's wrong with Mr. Lou?
01:23:34He want to drive my old Mercedes instead of his fancy phantom?
01:23:45Hey!
01:23:45Hey, what are you doing?
01:23:48Good dogs don't get underfoot.
01:23:50Hey, you!
01:23:51Get out of my way!
01:23:53Oops.
