00:00:00Doctor, is my mom gonna be okay? I'm sorry Grace, she has a brain hemorrhage. With
00:00:20immediate surgery there is a chance but it'll cost five hundred thousand.
00:00:28I don't have that kind of money but mom needs me. I'll find a way to get the
00:00:35money. Please just save my mom. I can do that. Grace Miller. Rose, well thank God you
00:00:44two are here. Mom was working at the orphanage when she fainted and it's
00:00:47gonna cost five hundred grand. Five hundred grand? And where are we supposed to get that?
00:00:54Call off the surgery doc. There's no way we're paying for that.
00:00:58Rose, what are you saying? She's our mom. She adopted us. You can't just enforce us to
00:01:04grow up dirt poor. She's a low-life worker. She doesn't deserve to be a mom. If it
00:01:08wasn't for her, we could have been adopted by someone rich. You guys hear
00:01:12yourself. She took us in when we had nothing. She gave us a home. She made sure
00:01:17that we were never hungry and you're just mad at her because she's not rich?
00:01:20Speaking of money, today's mom's paid it.
00:01:25This is mom's. Don't you dare touch it.
00:01:29No, mom worked hard for that. Should be enough for a new iPhone though. Mom needs
00:01:52that money for her surgery. You can't just take it. Sure we can. That old hag's about
00:01:56dying. Her money is ours now. You want money? Pick it up.
00:02:01Consider this our donation to mom's surgery. Or funeral.
00:02:06Consider this our donation to mom's surgery. Or funeral.
00:02:16I'll save you mom. I can sell blood for money. This is the only way I might be able to save mom.
00:02:41I can't be able to save mom.
00:03:11for a long time.
00:03:16Go ahead and take a seat, guys.
00:03:20Look, I've gathered you all here today for a very important announcement.
00:03:2315 years ago, my mother, Mary Miller, disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:03:28But now, she is returning to take her rightful place as the CEO of the Phoenix Group, ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen, the CEO has finally returned.
00:03:38Miss Miller raised her son alone to build Phoenix Group.
00:03:41And after 15 years, she's coming back.
00:03:44Even out of the public eye, she remains a legend.
00:03:47No one can match what she built.
00:03:49See, although my mother's been living in seclusion,
00:03:52we've remained in contact over the years.
00:03:54And she's adopted three children,
00:03:56who I believe will be joining our company very soon.
00:03:59Sir, we can't find your mother.
00:04:01She isn't answering our calls.
00:04:03What?
00:04:04My mother is missing?
00:04:08I want to sell my blood.
00:04:10Please.
00:04:11I have an extremely rare blood type.
00:04:14Type AB negative.
00:04:16You need it, and I need money for my mother's surgery.
00:04:19Please.
00:04:34We are at 400.
00:04:42I have to stop now, or you'll pass out.
00:04:44No, no, don't, don't stop.
00:04:45I, I can do it.
00:04:49Just keep.
00:04:51Miss.
00:04:51Just keep, keep going.
00:04:52Miss.
00:04:54Miss.
00:04:54Miss.
00:04:55Miss.
00:04:57Miss.
00:04:59Miss.
00:04:59Miss.
00:05:02Miss.
00:05:11Miss.
00:05:11Miss.
00:05:12Grace, I told you to go home and rest.
00:05:15You just fainted from donating all that blood.
00:05:18I'm fine, doctor. How's my mom?
00:05:21Well, the operation was a success, but Grace, with your mother's condition,
00:05:26we're looking at some very expensive long-term care.
00:05:29Oh, I got it, doctor. She's my mom. I won't give up on her.
00:05:35She's very lucky to have you. I'll go work on the list of her medication.
00:05:42You adopted me, mom.
00:05:47You taught me what family was.
00:05:51Love is... Don't worry. I'm not going to give up on you.
00:05:56I'm going to make sure you get better.
00:06:07I spent hours. Where is Miss Miller?
00:06:09If Miss Miller says she's returning, then she will be coming back.
00:06:13Otherwise, Mr. Miller will find her.
00:06:16When she left 15 years ago, she made all of us.
00:06:19Even Mr. Miller promised never to search for her.
00:06:24Did you reach her?
00:06:25Her phone? It's completely dead.
00:06:27She'd never let that happen. Not on the day that she's supposed to return.
00:06:30Something's not right.
00:06:35Do whatever it takes.
00:06:36Flip this city upside down.
00:06:38I don't care, but we're going to find my mother.
00:06:40Yes, sir!
00:06:41Yes, sir!
00:06:49One day at work here, we'll cover three days of mom's medication.
00:06:52Next!
00:07:00No, sir. I'm here to work.
00:07:02Please, if there's any opportunity that you have, I would gladly take it.
00:07:06Come on, Grace.
00:07:08Everyone knows you passed out yesterday at the hospital.
00:07:10I can't have you dying on my sight.
00:07:11I'll lose my damn job.
00:07:13No, please, please.
00:07:14I'm begging you.
00:07:15Please, I really need the money.
00:07:17My mom will die without it.
00:07:19But with treatment, I mean, there's a chance that she may wake up.
00:07:24But if I give up, it's over for her.
00:07:26Please.
00:07:28If I catch you slacking off one time, I won't pay you a single penny.
00:07:36Thank you so much.
00:07:37You can trust me.
00:07:38I am a hard worker.
00:07:40Next!
00:07:43Don't worry, Mom.
00:07:45I'll make enough money, and you'll get better.
00:08:06All right, time for lunch.
00:08:08Get back to work as soon as you're finished.
00:08:10Grace!
00:08:15Lucy, what's wrong?
00:08:16You have to get home right now, Grace.
00:08:18Your sister and brother are selling your mom's house.
00:08:27We've turned this whole house upside down.
00:08:31I can't believe the old hag doesn't even have any savings.
00:08:33Whatever.
00:08:33Just forget it.
00:08:34Let's get down to business.
00:08:35Where's the inheritance letter?
00:08:37You see this, Mom?
00:08:39You ruined our life at a better chance with a rich family.
00:08:43Now, with just one little stamp here, you'll give us what we deserve.
00:08:47As if this old hag can hear you.
00:08:49Just get it over with already.
00:08:50What are you doing?
00:08:54What are you doing?
00:08:58Mom.
00:08:59Mom, are you okay?
00:09:05You're trying to steal Mom's house?
00:09:07You can't do that.
00:09:08Mom worked hard for it.
00:09:10Fine.
00:09:11If she doesn't want us to sell it, then we won't.
00:09:14Go on.
00:09:15Say it.
00:09:16Say it.
00:09:17Hey, you old hag.
00:09:18Is anyone there?
00:09:19Hello?
00:09:20Can you speak up?
00:09:21Speak up!
00:09:22Get your filthy hands off of her.
00:09:25Be honest.
00:09:26You don't actually give a shit about Mom.
00:09:28You're just putting on a little show, hoping she'll magically wake up and give you everything.
00:09:32That's not true.
00:09:33That's...
00:09:34Aw, poor little Grace, trying so hard, and your mommy can't even see.
00:09:40If you don't want to take care of Mom, that's fine.
00:09:42I'll do it myself.
00:09:44But I'm not going to let you take anything away from her.
00:09:46Try and stop us.
00:09:47No.
00:09:49Mom?
00:09:54Mom?
00:09:56Mom?
00:09:57Your finger's moving.
00:10:01Would you look at that?
00:10:02She's actually losing it.
00:10:06I saw it.
00:10:07Her finger's moving.
00:10:08She's trying to tell us something.
00:10:09Mom's brain is mush.
00:10:11The only thing moving in her head are the worms eating the rest of it out.
00:10:14You stupid bitch.
00:10:31I'm tired of repeating myself, Mom is dying.
00:10:35Dead people don't need a house.
00:10:37You know, William and I just want the best for you, little sis.
00:10:43Say, you and the mayor's son are the same age, right?
00:10:46Mayor's daughter-in-law sounds awfully nice.
00:10:49What?
00:10:51The mayor's daughter-in-law?
00:10:53After you and the mayor's son tie the knot, we'll send that to a nursing home far, far away.
00:11:04She takes up too much space here.
00:11:07So there's the bride for my son.
00:11:17Well, son, she's the girl you said you liked, right?
00:11:21A real virgin.
00:11:22Just like me, all the other girls, they always run away.
00:11:27But not you.
00:11:29You'll be my first.
00:11:31Time to make you mine.
00:11:32No, no, don't touch me!
00:11:44No, no, don't touch me!
00:11:47You can't say no to me!
00:11:48My dad owns this town.
00:11:49Nobody says no to me.
00:11:51Look at you, acting so high and mighty.
00:11:55You're still selling your blood, aren't you?
00:11:57Just for a few pennies.
00:11:59We offer you a way out of poverty, and this is the way you repay us.
00:12:04Do you know how rich and powerful the mayor is?
00:12:07Mom's gonna die because you're too proud to spread your legs for the mayor's son.
00:12:12I'm not going to marry him.
00:12:15Don't you see, Grace?
00:12:16William and I are doing this for you and Mom.
00:12:19You should be grateful.
00:12:20Half a million, and she's all yours tonight.
00:12:24Steep price for an orphan.
00:12:25I don't care, Dad!
00:12:27You promised me I can have her, and I want her.
00:12:30Give them what they want.
00:12:31Not a grandson or not, she can work for us.
00:12:34Nice to meet you.
00:12:34Pleasure doing business with you, sir.
00:12:42My sister's all yours.
00:12:46No, no, no, no, Mom!
00:12:49Mom, please!
00:12:50Don't take me, Mom!
00:12:51No one sells my daughter.
00:13:13Get away from my daughter!
00:13:29Oh, Mom!
00:13:31Thank God you're awake!
00:13:33Don't scare us like that again, okay?
00:13:35I didn't know what to do!
00:13:37Yeah, Mom.
00:13:38We're so happy to have you back.
00:13:40It looks like you know exactly what you're doing.
00:13:44Selling the house?
00:13:49Huh?
00:13:49No, Mom!
00:13:50You have the wrong idea!
00:13:52We were selling the house to help pay for your treatment!
00:13:55Treatment?
00:13:56You didn't even want to pay for Mom's surgery!
00:13:58Don't listen to Grace's lies, Mom!
00:14:01William and I have been working day and night to pay for your surgery!
00:14:05No, that's not true!
00:14:06I was selling my blood to pay back...
00:14:08Grace, I know you seduced the mayor's son and are about to marry into a powerful family,
00:14:12but that doesn't mean you can lie to Mom's face!
00:14:15Grace was trying to marry into the mayor's family so she didn't have to take care of you!
00:14:19Rose and I had no choice but to sell the house.
00:14:20Enough!
00:14:22Just because I had my eyes closed doesn't mean that I didn't hear everything you said!
00:14:30And not only were you trying to just sell the house,
00:14:32but you were trying to sell your sister, Grace, as well!
00:14:38Mom, I'm so glad you're awake.
00:14:40I didn't know what else to do.
00:14:43Oh, my sweet daughter.
00:14:45I hurt everything.
00:14:47Everything you did to keep me safe.
00:14:50Your mother will make these ingrits pay for what they did to you.
00:14:59This.
00:15:00This is just a silly house.
00:15:03And I would have given it to you without a second thought.
00:15:07But now, after the stunt that you two pulled,
00:15:10you won't get anything.
00:15:20Well,
00:15:21William and I would have considered looking after you if you were even moderately wealthy.
00:15:26But you're just poor.
00:15:28Do you know how goddamn embarrassing it is to call your mother?
00:15:34Embarrassing?
00:15:36When we were orphans, nobody wanted us.
00:15:39Mom gave us a home.
00:15:40She saved us.
00:15:41Saved us?
00:15:43I didn't choose the shitty life she offered us.
00:15:47Poor people shouldn't drag others into their suffering.
00:15:51That's not fair.
00:15:53Take it back.
00:15:53You see this, you old hag?
00:15:58We already have your signature and fingerprint on the inheritance letter.
00:16:02It's too late to stop us now.
00:16:05You're not getting anything from me.
00:16:07Not a single cent.
00:16:10Grace, do you have my phone?
00:16:15Oh, Grace, this is your mom's phone.
00:16:18You can keep it for now.
00:16:19Doctor, this phone is really nice.
00:16:22Are you sure it belongs to my mom?
00:16:23We took it from her pocket right before the surgery.
00:16:38Miss Miller.
00:16:43Alexander.
00:16:44It's me.
00:16:50My mother was in danger.
00:16:52Thanks to our adopted daughter, Grace.
00:16:54She's safe in a small town.
00:16:55I'm heading over there to bring her back home.
00:16:57Someone who dares to threaten Miss Miller must be insane.
00:17:00Let us come with you, sir.
00:17:01We should all be there to welcome her back.
00:17:03And we'll show those who crossed her who's boss.
00:17:10Sir, I've sent John Smith to check on your mother.
00:17:13Make sure he keeps her safe until I get there.
00:17:15These people are going to regret it for crossing her.
00:17:17Yes, sir.
00:17:17Come to mother.
00:17:19Wait, he has another son?
00:17:21No idea who the guy is.
00:17:22I wonder where she found this guy.
00:17:24Probably fished him out of a dumpster.
00:17:26Bet he's just as pathetic as she is.
00:17:28Another worthless charity case.
00:17:30Stop it.
00:17:32That's your brother you're talking about.
00:17:34Relax, Grace.
00:17:36Soon they'll be on their knees begging for forgiveness.
00:17:40Who do you think you are, you old hag?
00:17:42Some kind of superhero?
00:17:44The mayor is related to Mr. Smith, the man who transformed the Sterling Corp into the Phoenix
00:17:49Group's biggest subsidiary.
00:17:52He can make any person disappear.
00:17:54And guess what?
00:17:56They just called them about Gregory's weddings.
00:17:58He should be here at any moment.
00:18:00Mr. Smith, you mean John?
00:18:03Speaking as if she knows him personally.
00:18:05The man controls billions with the nerve on this woman.
00:18:09Let me explain something to you.
00:18:11Phoenix Group isn't just some company.
00:18:14They own everything.
00:18:16They're untouchable gods among men.
00:18:20She probably thinks Phoenix Group is just some birdwatching club.
00:18:24Mark my words, you'll all be on your knees begging for mercy.
00:18:30And when John Smith gets here, he's going to be trembling in his boots.
00:18:48Mr. Smith has important business to attend to.
00:18:50Starting now, all roads headed to the town are closed off.
00:18:54I heard Mr. Smith has barely been seen in public ever since Ms. Miller went into hiding.
00:18:58Wow.
00:18:59If Mr. Smith is going out like this, he must be doing business with a really important person.
00:19:04I never thought I'd ever meet Ms. Miller in person.
00:19:06This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
00:19:09She's the pride of the city.
00:19:11But sir, we don't even have a photo of her.
00:19:13We don't know what she looks like.
00:19:14I have other matters to attend to in that town anyway.
00:19:17Let's move out.
00:19:18We'll grab the photo later.
00:19:19Wait, you think Mr. Smith will kneel before someone like you?
00:19:28Oh, don't make me laugh.
00:19:31Oh, she's completely delusional.
00:19:34Enough.
00:19:35I won't stand here and let you insult my mother like this.
00:19:40Know your place and shut up, you stupid bitch.
00:19:42Lay a hand on my daughter one more time, and I'll make sure you don't use that hand again.
00:19:57What's wrong?
00:19:57Our money not good enough for you?
00:20:00Fine.
00:20:01Name your price.
00:20:03Everything has one.
00:20:05Just like you.
00:20:06Oh, how amusing.
00:20:11You think that you can buy me off?
00:20:14I would love to see you try.
00:20:17Hmm.
00:20:20Word is, Ms. Miller has an adoptive daughter, Grace, that's been taking care of her.
00:20:24Without her, we might not see Ms. Miller again.
00:20:27This Grace Miller must be someone special.
00:20:29There aren't a lot of daughters like her out there.
00:20:32It's me.
00:20:34Make sure to arrange an exceptional gift for Ms. Miller.
00:20:37And prepare something special for Grace Miller.
00:20:40Only the best for the girl that saved Ms. Miller.
00:20:45Sir, John Smith should be arriving to town any moment now.
00:20:48The signal there is terrible.
00:20:50I just sent him a photo of Ms. Miller.
00:20:51He should be receiving it shortly.
00:20:53Look, my mother likes to keep low profile.
00:20:56So I want you to tell our people to shut down the entire neighborhood, okay?
00:20:59I don't want anyone seeing my mother.
00:21:00Yes, sir.
00:21:01You think that you can buy me?
00:21:04Well, just look at you.
00:21:06Wearing those rags, living in this filthy place.
00:21:10And you have the nerve to reject my son.
00:21:13People like you should be on your knees, kissing our feet.
00:21:17Thanking us for the chance at a better life.
00:21:21Your son is a worthless parasite that vultures would refuse to eat.
00:21:29How dare you speak that way about my son?
00:21:33I was abandoned as a child.
00:21:50When I was 15 years old, my mom took me in and gave me a home.
00:21:55You may just see her as another nobody.
00:21:58Working lowly jobs with little money.
00:22:00But to me, she's the greatest mom in the world.
00:22:05She's my everything.
00:22:07And I'm not just going to stand here and let you humiliate her.
00:22:10Boo-hoo.
00:22:11I'm in tears.
00:22:13Who cares if we insult this old hag?
00:22:15My husband is the mayor.
00:22:17And we can do anything we want, as a matter of fact.
00:22:21My son can take you right here.
00:22:23And right now, if he wants.
00:22:24I'm going to teach my wife some manners.
00:22:29No, no, don't.
00:22:31Take that, please.
00:22:32You will all regret this.
00:22:36No, take that, please.
00:22:37Holy shit.
00:22:46Is that John Smith?
00:22:48The mayor's got some family problems from what I hear.
00:22:51And he's probably just here to help them out.
00:22:58What the hell?
00:22:59No, no, no.
00:22:59Go where?
00:23:00No.
00:23:00I could assure you the consequences for spreading unverified rumors in front of Mr. Smith are serious.
00:23:09Mr. Smith, please let us go.
00:23:11Please, sir, let us go.
00:23:12We had nothing to do with this.
00:23:13You should be talking to that family over there who rejected the mayor's son.
00:23:18You're lying.
00:23:20Who dare reject Gregory Warren?
00:23:22Don't they know he's related to Mr. Smith?
00:23:24We're not lying, sir.
00:23:25You can see for yourself.
00:23:27Our house is at the end of this road.
00:23:28All right.
00:23:30Looks like I'll have to take care of this myself.
00:23:33Don't let go of me.
00:23:34Stop.
00:23:39Hit her again, mother.
00:23:44We offer you everything and you choose to stay in this filth?
00:23:48Fine.
00:23:49Stay here and rot.
00:23:51My mother's love means everything to me.
00:23:54I'd rather stay in poverty by her side than live in a cage without her.
00:23:58Too bad that's not your decision to make.
00:24:04Too bad that's not your decision to make.
00:24:07Mr. Smith?
00:24:08He actually came.
00:24:09Only the famous John Smith could arrive in such style.
00:24:13Mr. Smith, thank you for coming.
00:24:15What's going on here?
00:24:16You're related to someone like me.
00:24:18Finding your son a wife should be the easiest thing in the world.
00:24:21It's these arrogant fools, sir.
00:24:22They have no idea the privilege they're throwing away.
00:24:26And Mr. Smith, they even had the audacity to threaten you.
00:24:30Said you would tremble before him.
00:24:31What?
00:24:32Someone dare threaten the John Smith?
00:24:35The head of Phoenix Group's most powerful subsidiary?
00:24:39The man that no one crosses.
00:24:42Yes, it's that woman right over there.
00:24:51Hello, John.
00:24:53Why does her voice sound so familiar?
00:24:57Just now, Phoenix Group CEO Mary Miller, one of the most powerful figures in our city,
00:25:03has relinquished full control of the company to her son.
00:25:07Mary, do you have anything to say?
00:25:10Anything to say at all, Mary, about the transition of power?
00:25:13Ms. Miller!
00:25:14Ms. Miller!
00:25:17Ms. Miller, I owe everything to you.
00:25:20You started Sterling Corps and gave me my position.
00:25:23If you're really planning on leaving Phoenix Group, please, at least, let me drive you home.
00:25:28If you really want to show your gratitude, take good care of Sterling Group.
00:25:34I'm counting on you.
00:25:40How dare you use Mr. Smith's first name?
00:25:43Keep our boss's name out of your mouth or else I'll...
00:25:45Wait!
00:25:50You keep our boss's name out of your mouth or else I'll...
00:25:53Wait!
00:25:53Mr. Smith, listen to this filth, trying to pretend she knows you.
00:26:01Yes, I do know you, John.
00:26:05How dare you address Mr. Smith like that?
00:26:08Trash like you should show respect!
00:26:11Mr. Smith, this is just some old woman who works as a chief laborer at the orphanage nearby.
00:26:17A day laborer?
00:26:18I must have mistaken her for someone else.
00:26:20What happened to all your threats?
00:26:22Weren't you just saying how Mr. Smith would tremble and fall to his knees?
00:26:26You said that?
00:26:27I did.
00:26:28Who do you think you are, huh?
00:26:31Don't touch my mom.
00:26:34Oh, you want to be brave too?
00:26:36Huh?
00:26:38Mr. Smith, it's a message from Mr. Miller.
00:26:41It's a photo of Mrs. Miller.
00:26:47It's a photo of Mrs. Miller.
00:26:49You mean Miss Miller?
00:26:51Yeah.
00:26:51She's Phoenix Group's CEO.
00:26:54They say she controls all the city.
00:26:56But she disappeared years ago when she gave control to her son when he turned 18.
00:27:01We could have been living the high life if she had adopted us instead of being stuck with this worthless woman.
00:27:07Mr. Smith, you see, everything's ready for the wedding.
00:27:10If you could just help us convince the bride.
00:27:13Miss Miller is here in town somewhere.
00:27:15I have to find and greet her.
00:27:16I can't let this petty situation get in the way.
00:27:19Take her to the church.
00:27:21No, let me go.
00:27:22I won't marry him.
00:27:23I need to stay with my mom.
00:27:25Try to get past me.
00:27:26See how that works.
00:27:27Try to get past me.
00:27:34See how that works out for you.
00:27:35Move aside, ma'am.
00:27:36Mr. Smith is due to welcome back the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:27:41If you and your daughter get in the way, you'll pay the price.
00:27:44So, this is how you run Sterling Group now.
00:27:51Torment the weak?
00:27:53Throw your weight around?
00:27:54Shut your damn mouth.
00:27:56Stripper.
00:27:58Let her mother watch what happens to people who defy me.
00:28:03You are making your last mistake.
00:28:06You think I'm scared of some empty threats from an old hag in a wheelchair?
00:28:11What are you going to do about it?
00:28:12No, no, no.
00:28:15Please!
00:28:43How could I be so foolish?
00:28:45Miss Miller, the CEO of Phoenix Group, is right in front of my eyes.
00:28:50Mr. Smith is about to teach this old woman a lesson that she should never open her mouth.
00:28:55Just watch.
00:28:56Well, that'll teach you to disrespect someone like Mr. Smith.
00:28:59Crawl on the ground and beg for forgiveness, you pathetic old hag.
00:29:03That's right. Go on and grovel before he destroys you.
00:29:08I have no need to apologize.
00:29:10I meant every word that I said.
00:29:12I said that when John Smith gets here, he will tremble and fall to his knees, and that is exactly what will happen.
00:29:22What planet are you even living on?
00:29:25You're not just a beggar. You're a complete lunatic.
00:29:42Sir, what's the matter?
00:30:02On your knees.
00:30:04What, sir? She's just something.
00:30:05I said on your knees!
00:30:12Are you all deaf?
00:30:14Get on your knees!
00:30:17Mr. Smith, what's this all about?
00:30:19Are you not feeling well?
00:30:21What did this brain-dead bitch do to him?
00:30:24Get him away before whatever's rotting in her head spreads!
00:30:27Mr. Smith, what are you doing?
00:30:32I'm warning you.
00:30:33Do not disrespect this woman.
00:30:36She is.
00:30:38She is.
00:30:39She is nothing but a pathetic waste of space.
00:30:42She can't even stand on her own two feet.
00:30:45Her brain is running away, and she doesn't have a penny to her name.
00:30:48Are you seriously going to defend this old witch?
00:30:55Looks like you remember me now, John.
00:30:59Why don't you tell everyone else who I am?
00:31:01Go ahead.
00:31:04Let dress him as Mr. Smith, you disrespectful old hag.
00:31:10Mr. Smith, we never wanted her as her mother.
00:31:13We've already cut ties with this woman.
00:31:15We don't support her behavior at all.
00:31:18Please, don't punish us for her actions.
00:31:22I understand you're upset, Mr. Smith.
00:31:24Let me remove this worthless woman.
00:31:31Please!
00:31:32All of you!
00:31:34Mr. Smith, why are you protecting her?
00:31:37She's beneath you.
00:31:38Mr. Smith, please.
00:31:40We're family.
00:31:41Family?
00:31:42You're just distant relatives.
00:31:44The only reason I maintain contact with you
00:31:48is because someone told me to never forget where I came from,
00:31:50and that someone was her.
00:31:54She helped me build Sterling Core for nothing.
00:31:57John, return my daughter to me,
00:32:06and we'll discuss your actions later.
00:32:09Yes, Miss Miller.
00:32:09Mama.
00:32:22No one will ever hurt you again, okay?
00:32:27Who the hell are you?
00:32:29On behalf of Sterling Core,
00:32:39I formally welcome you back to Phoenix Group.
00:32:42Welcome back, boss.
00:32:45She's the CEO of Phoenix Group?
00:32:48Phoenix Group's CEO.
00:32:55Ha, that's impossible.
00:32:57There must be some mistake.
00:32:58This old hack doesn't even have money.
00:33:00Just look at her.
00:33:01Yeah, the richest CEO in the country
00:33:04wearing bargain bin clothes,
00:33:06working at an orphanage,
00:33:07and living in this dump?
00:33:09Please.
00:33:09Do you even hear yourself?
00:33:11If it wasn't for Miss Miller living a modest life,
00:33:14you'd still be orphans,
00:33:15you ungrateful brats.
00:33:16And you.
00:33:20You must be the adoptive daughter
00:33:22who saved Miss Miller.
00:33:23Don't be afraid.
00:33:25You're Miss Miller's daughter,
00:33:26and the only one who protected her.
00:33:28And now, Sterling Core will protect you.
00:33:30If anyone tries to harm you,
00:33:33they'll pay the price.
00:33:34I just want to stay with my mom
00:33:35and take care of her.
00:33:38Please.
00:33:39Don't let them force me to marry this man.
00:33:45My sweet girl.
00:33:46No way.
00:33:49My parents paid good money for you,
00:33:51so you belong to me now.
00:33:52What?
00:33:52Your mother can run into nursing home
00:33:54for all I care.
00:33:55Nobody touches my daughter.
00:33:57John, break his wrist.
00:34:00John, break his wrist.
00:34:03Help!
00:34:07Mr. Smith, please don't do this.
00:34:09Please, he's our only son.
00:34:11Please, he's all we've got.
00:34:12You love your son like I love my daughter.
00:34:16And yet, you let him terrorize Grace,
00:34:19and you didn't say anything.
00:34:21And now, you want to apologize?
00:34:24It's too late.
00:34:25But your daughter is fine.
00:34:27Do you really have to do this?
00:34:29If I let this go today,
00:34:31then you'll keep terrorizing those weaker than you,
00:34:34like my daughter.
00:34:35So today, there will be a lesson
00:34:36for not only your son,
00:34:38but for everyone else.
00:34:40Mark my words.
00:34:43Who do you think you are
00:34:44barking at my parents and brother?
00:34:46Move or I'll end you all.
00:34:51Britney, my sweet daughter.
00:34:53Thank God you're here.
00:34:55Don't worry, Dad.
00:34:56I've got this under control.
00:34:58Did you forget?
00:35:01My boyfriend is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:35:04So what, young lady?
00:35:06And this is Alexander's mother,
00:35:08Miss Miller,
00:35:08CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:35:11She is not the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:35:14She's a fraud!
00:35:18What are you talking about?
00:35:20Just because you're dating Alexander's lapdog
00:35:22doesn't mean you can run your mouth
00:35:23and spread lies.
00:35:24Lies?
00:35:25I've seen the Phoenix Group CEO
00:35:27with my own two eyes.
00:35:29She got me a present for my birthday.
00:35:40Sean, what's wrong?
00:35:41Today's my girlfriend's birthday
00:35:42and she wants me to invite
00:35:44Miss Mary Miller to her party.
00:35:47What?
00:35:48She's so secluded,
00:35:49even her own son can't see her
00:35:51whenever he wants.
00:35:52How do you expect her to agree
00:35:54to meet your girlfriend?
00:35:57Wait.
00:35:59What if you pretend to be her?
00:36:01Nobody even knows
00:36:02what she looks like
00:36:04outside of the board anyway.
00:36:05Pretend to be CEO
00:36:07for my girlfriend's birthday party
00:36:09and I'll get working on that promotion
00:36:10that you've been wanting for years.
00:36:11Oh, yeah?
00:36:16Hmm.
00:36:18Fine.
00:36:19I'll do it.
00:36:21Young lady,
00:36:23I don't know who your family is,
00:36:25but you better believe
00:36:26that I could destroy them
00:36:28with one phone call.
00:36:29Everyone here sees that
00:36:32you're just broke
00:36:33and delusional.
00:36:35Cut the act,
00:36:36you widowed hag!
00:36:39Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:36:41I'm going to have my boyfriend
00:36:42expose you
00:36:43for the fraud you really are.
00:36:45Brittany,
00:36:56I'm on my way.
00:36:59My mother's coming back
00:36:59to the Phoenix group today,
00:37:01so I want you guys
00:37:01to get her something
00:37:02absolutely spectacular, okay?
00:37:04It's time to show this city
00:37:06who's really been behind our success.
00:37:08Also, I want you to get
00:37:09something for that girl.
00:37:10The one that she adopted
00:37:11that's been taking care of her.
00:37:13She's my sister now,
00:37:14so get her something grand as well.
00:37:19Boss,
00:37:19is everything okay?
00:37:21I need you to do something for me.
00:37:23It's about Brittany.
00:37:24Someone causing
00:37:24your girlfriend trouble?
00:37:26Don't worry,
00:37:27I'll handle it.
00:37:28I'll make them beg for mercy
00:37:29for what they've done.
00:37:31Take her right here.
00:37:32Gotta handle something for Sean.
00:37:34Yes, sir.
00:37:39Hear that?
00:37:40My daughter's boyfriend
00:37:41is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:37:43He's one of Phoenix group's
00:37:45rising stars.
00:37:46You picked the wrong people
00:37:47to mess with.
00:37:48You're done for.
00:37:50Thank God we cut ties
00:37:51with you,
00:37:51you crazy old witch.
00:37:53You almost gave me
00:37:54a heart attack,
00:37:55you old hag.
00:37:56Turns out,
00:37:56you were a fraud all along.
00:37:58You.
00:38:00Who would have thought
00:38:01our daughter would end up
00:38:03dating Alexander's
00:38:04right-hand man?
00:38:05When her boyfriend
00:38:06gets here,
00:38:07we're gonna strip you
00:38:08and your daughter
00:38:09naked and throw you
00:38:10into the streets.
00:38:12Let everyone see
00:38:13how we treat liars
00:38:14like you.
00:38:15I'm afraid you're in
00:38:16for quite a disappointment.
00:38:18Still acting tough?
00:38:20You really are shameless.
00:38:22Mom.
00:38:23John,
00:38:24handle this right now.
00:38:26She's scaring my daughter.
00:38:27Yes, Miss Miller.
00:38:28Back off, John!
00:38:42You're just some
00:38:43low-level manager.
00:38:44My boyfriend will destroy
00:38:46your career if you touch me!
00:38:49Did you just hit me?
00:38:53Not bad for an old hag.
00:38:56I get it now, John.
00:38:57You're siding with this hag
00:38:58because she crawled
00:38:59into your bed.
00:39:00You disgusting little...
00:39:02Oh, did I hurt a nerve?
00:39:05Just wait until
00:39:06my boyfriend gets here.
00:39:08I'm going to tell him
00:39:08that you hit me
00:39:09for this old slut.
00:39:11You're dead!
00:39:12You really think
00:39:14your boyfriend
00:39:15is that important?
00:39:17To me.
00:39:19He's nothing.
00:39:20He doesn't even deserve
00:39:22to clean the dirt
00:39:23off my shoes.
00:39:25Nobody insults
00:39:26Mr. Sean Parker
00:39:27and lives to talk
00:39:28about it.
00:39:30Mike?
00:39:31Why are you alone?
00:39:32Where's Sean?
00:39:33Relax, Miss.
00:39:34Sean and Mr. Miller
00:39:35have more important matters
00:39:36than dealing with trash.
00:39:38So,
00:39:38who's been causing trouble
00:39:39for my boss's girlfriend?
00:39:42It was this piece
00:39:42of garbage right here.
00:39:44She said that
00:39:45Mr. Sean Parker
00:39:46didn't deserve
00:39:47to clean the dirt
00:39:47off her shoes.
00:39:49And she's pretending
00:39:50to be the CEO
00:39:51of Phoenix Group,
00:39:52Ms. Miller.
00:39:55Miss Miller?
00:39:59Miss Miller,
00:40:01old hag.
00:40:02You've got some nerve
00:40:03pretending to be
00:40:04Miss Miller.
00:40:05Open your eyes.
00:40:07She is
00:40:08Miss Miller.
00:40:09Right.
00:40:10And I'm the Queen
00:40:10of England.
00:40:11Tell you what.
00:40:13If she's really
00:40:15the CEO,
00:40:16I'll tattoo
00:40:16fool on my forehead.
00:40:18Nice performance,
00:40:21John.
00:40:21Good thing I met
00:40:22the real CEO
00:40:23at Brittany's birthday party
00:40:24or I might have fallen
00:40:25for your little act.
00:40:26I don't know
00:40:27who you think you met,
00:40:28but that was not
00:40:29the CEO.
00:40:31If my mom really lied,
00:40:32it was to protect me
00:40:33from being forced
00:40:34to marry the mayor's son.
00:40:36But,
00:40:37if she isn't
00:40:37the CEO
00:40:38of Phoenix Group,
00:40:39then,
00:40:40I apologize.
00:40:41Just,
00:40:41please,
00:40:43don't hurt my mother.
00:40:45Well,
00:40:46what do we have here?
00:40:47Quite the prelittle thing.
00:40:50Since you're
00:40:50such a good daughter,
00:40:52I'll let this lie.
00:40:54Under one condition.
00:40:58Marry the mayor's son.
00:41:03And I'll forgive
00:41:04your mother's lies.
00:41:05Grace,
00:41:06don't listen to this fool.
00:41:09Mom,
00:41:11I never thought
00:41:12that I would have
00:41:13a real family.
00:41:15And then you adopted me
00:41:17and you gave me
00:41:19everything.
00:41:21Love,
00:41:21protection,
00:41:22a life.
00:41:25I owe you
00:41:26everything.
00:41:28So if,
00:41:29so if marrying
00:41:31the mayor's son
00:41:32will protect you,
00:41:34then I'll do it.
00:41:37back off
00:41:42while you still can.
00:41:43If you hurt Grace
00:41:44or cross Miss Miller,
00:41:45you'll pay the price.
00:41:47Look at you,
00:41:48John.
00:41:48Completely entangled
00:41:49in this fraud spell.
00:41:51You know what's gonna happen
00:41:52today,
00:41:52John?
00:41:53Huh?
00:41:54The real Miss Miller
00:41:55is returning
00:41:56to Phoenix Group.
00:41:57When Alexander finds out
00:41:59you're helping
00:42:00some imposter,
00:42:02you're finished.
00:42:04Miss Miller's returning
00:42:05in the Phoenix Group today?
00:42:07With your boyfriend
00:42:08being Mr. Miller's assistant,
00:42:10surely you'll meet
00:42:11Miss Miller.
00:42:12Oh,
00:42:13please,
00:42:14let me come with you.
00:42:15I'd do anything
00:42:17to see Miss Miller.
00:42:19Miss Miller
00:42:19is a very private person.
00:42:22Most employees
00:42:22haven't even seen her.
00:42:24Well,
00:42:25I guess I could
00:42:26let you see her
00:42:26from a distance.
00:42:27Now then,
00:42:31time to deal
00:42:31with our
00:42:32little problem.
00:42:35Can't have these
00:42:35frauds
00:42:36causing trouble
00:42:37on such an important
00:42:38day.
00:42:41You fool!
00:42:42This woman
00:42:43is the real
00:42:43CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:42:45Mr. Miller
00:42:45sent me her photo.
00:42:47It's right here.
00:42:51It's right here.
00:42:52A photo?
00:42:57That can't prove anything.
00:42:58Anyone could fake
00:42:59that using AI.
00:43:00With AI these days,
00:43:01you can make
00:43:02any photo you want.
00:43:04You can't fool us.
00:43:05Look at her.
00:43:06She's just
00:43:07a pathetic nothing.
00:43:09Faking photos
00:43:09to play CEO?
00:43:11God,
00:43:12I've never seen
00:43:13anyone so desperate.
00:43:14What happened
00:43:14to all that talk
00:43:15about honesty
00:43:16and respect
00:43:17as we grew up,
00:43:18Mom?
00:43:19Or does that not apply
00:43:20to an old hag
00:43:20like you?
00:43:21You are
00:43:22good-looking
00:43:23for your age.
00:43:26No wonder
00:43:27you've got John
00:43:27wrapped around
00:43:28your finger,
00:43:29you witch.
00:43:30Shut your damn mouth!
00:43:31Stay away from her,
00:43:32you monster!
00:43:37Good thing
00:43:38we've got some time
00:43:38on our hands anyway.
00:43:40And, bloke,
00:43:41single mom's
00:43:42my favorite kind of...
00:43:44A feisty one, huh?
00:43:49Just the way
00:43:50I like it.
00:43:51You sure this is
00:44:04the right location?
00:44:06The coordinates
00:44:06led us here, sir.
00:44:07The mayor
00:44:08will know where she is.
00:44:10This is perfect!
00:44:11The mayor's about
00:44:12to see his future
00:44:13son-in-law
00:44:13working right beside
00:44:14the great Alexander Miller.
00:44:16This couldn't be better!
00:44:17Well then,
00:44:18what are we waiting for?
00:44:19Let's go find the mayor!
00:44:21Yes, sir.
00:44:28This is private property,
00:44:29you can't show-
00:44:30That is Alexander Miller
00:44:31of the Phoenix Group
00:44:32that you're speaking to.
00:44:34Where is the mayor?
00:44:36I need him to find my mother.
00:44:37Alexander Miller?
00:44:40It is an honor
00:44:41to meet you.
00:44:42We did not expect you
00:44:43to show up
00:44:43at this wedding celebration.
00:44:45Wait a second.
00:44:46The wedding?
00:44:48Yes, the mayor's son's
00:44:49getting married.
00:44:50We didn't realize
00:44:51someone with your VIP status
00:44:52would be here.
00:44:54I didn't realize
00:44:55the mayor had
00:44:55such great connection.
00:44:56Right?
00:44:57Oh, that old woman
00:44:59will now regret
00:45:00not marrying her daughter
00:45:01into the mayor's family.
00:45:03Can you believe that?
00:45:04That dead broke vegetable?
00:45:06She acts all
00:45:06high and mighty
00:45:08but you know what?
00:45:09That girl's not even
00:45:10really her daughter.
00:45:11She's adopted.
00:45:13That woman.
00:45:15Is she a single mother
00:45:16to three orphans?
00:45:18That's her, alright.
00:45:19But don't worry, sir, okay?
00:45:21The mayor has this town
00:45:22under control
00:45:23and you know what?
00:45:24He's gonna teach
00:45:25that old hat.
00:45:26Oh!
00:45:26What did you just call her?
00:45:30That woman you just insulted
00:45:32is my mother.
00:45:34The CEO of the Phoenix Group.
00:45:36The CEO of the Phoenix Group?
00:45:39That can't be.
00:45:41Pick that piece of shit up
00:45:43and have him take us
00:45:44to my mother.
00:45:44Yes, sir.
00:45:50You will regret every word
00:45:52that you said
00:45:52about the Miller family.
00:45:53Once Miss Miller comes back,
00:45:55her daughter Grace
00:45:56will be a part
00:45:57of the Phoenix family.
00:45:59If you think
00:46:00the mayor's son
00:46:01can marry some of her stature,
00:46:03you're delusional.
00:46:04I want to meet this mayor myself.
00:46:07The audacity
00:46:08to treat Miss Miller
00:46:09and her daughter like this?
00:46:13Oh, I need to warn the mayor.
00:46:17Just the way I like it.
00:46:21How dare you talk
00:46:22to Miss Miller like that?
00:46:23Joe, she wants a real man now,
00:46:29John?
00:46:30By the time I'm done with her,
00:46:32she won't be moving
00:46:32that wheelchair anymore.
00:46:34Your problem is with me.
00:46:36Sterling Corp protects her on
00:46:37and we will die
00:46:38defending our boss.
00:46:39You must be giving
00:46:44John something real special.
00:46:45Why else would he risk
00:46:46everything with Phoenix
00:46:47to back up your pathetic lives?
00:46:49You won't live
00:46:50to see another day.
00:46:52Then I better make
00:46:53the most of now.
00:46:58Please, stop!
00:47:00Everyone, stop!
00:47:03What is it?
00:47:04Can't you see we're busy?
00:47:06That woman,
00:47:06you're threatening,
00:47:07she, shit!
00:47:09That woman you're threatening,
00:47:11she, she, she, she...
00:47:13She's nothing
00:47:14but an old widow.
00:47:16This is our town.
00:47:17We know what we're doing.
00:47:18Right.
00:47:19Especially with
00:47:20Alexander's people
00:47:21on our side.
00:47:22The sky could fall right now
00:47:24and I'm still gonna
00:47:24have my fun with you.
00:47:26Yeah?
00:47:27Well, when it falls,
00:47:29you'll be the first one
00:47:30to crumble.
00:47:31This is Phoenix Group's turf.
00:47:34I'm Sean Parker's
00:47:35right-hand man.
00:47:36Your precious boss
00:47:37should be on your knees
00:47:38before me.
00:47:38Just because you're
00:47:39some assistant's lap dog,
00:47:42it doesn't mean
00:47:42you're untouchable.
00:47:44Why don't you just
00:47:45make the call?
00:47:46Then we'll see
00:47:47how untouchable
00:47:48you really are.
00:47:50What's wrong?
00:47:51Are you getting nervous?
00:47:52Who could she possibly call?
00:47:54It's not like she has
00:47:55Alexander on speed dial.
00:47:57Let her make the call.
00:48:01I want to see who
00:48:02this pathetic widow
00:48:03runs to for help.
00:48:05Go ahead.
00:48:07Show us these powerful
00:48:07connections of yours.
00:48:10Stop!
00:48:10Don't let her make her the call!
00:48:13Stop!
00:48:14Don't let her make her the call!
00:48:16Shut your worthless mouth!
00:48:18You have no right
00:48:20to speak here!
00:48:21Afraid of a little
00:48:22phone call?
00:48:23That's Mike
00:48:24from Phoenix Group.
00:48:25No one in the city
00:48:27dares cross him.
00:48:29But, but, but she's...
00:48:30But, but, but...
00:48:32Can't even form a sentence?
00:48:34What, do you think
00:48:35this nobody's gonna call
00:48:36THE Alexander Miller?
00:48:38What another word.
00:48:39You're wasting our time.
00:48:41I need to get ready
00:48:42to meet the real
00:48:42Miss Miller later
00:48:43when she returns
00:48:44to the company.
00:48:45Brittany's right.
00:48:46We're about to welcome back
00:48:48the great Miss Miller.
00:48:49Nothing's changing that.
00:48:51Don't say I didn't
00:48:52give you a chance.
00:48:54Make your call, you fraud.
00:49:05Who's this?
00:49:06Mother?
00:49:13I can't believe
00:49:14they do this.
00:49:15Look, Mom,
00:49:16I got this.
00:49:17Don't worry, don't worry.
00:49:18I'm gonna handle this, okay?
00:49:18I know exactly what to do.
00:49:23So, you're this old
00:49:24hag's emergency contact.
00:49:26Guess what?
00:49:27You're screwed
00:49:28because my boyfriend
00:49:29is Sean Parker,
00:49:31Mr. Miller's
00:49:32right-hand man.
00:49:34Sean is your boyfriend, huh?
00:49:35Are you deaf or dumb?
00:49:37And how dare you
00:49:38refer to Sean
00:49:38by his first name?
00:49:40He is Alexander Miller's
00:49:42right-hand man.
00:49:43So watch yourself.
00:49:44Brittany,
00:49:45you're speaking to
00:49:46Alexander Miller himself.
00:49:47Well, you're gonna find out
00:49:48soon enough.
00:49:49My boyfriend
00:49:50is Alexander Miller's man.
00:49:52He is going to destroy you.
00:49:55What?
00:49:56You want to talk to Mike Hanson?
00:49:58How does your contact
00:50:03know my name?
00:50:04Talk to him.
00:50:06Find out.
00:50:06What happened, Mike?
00:50:08You scared to answer the phone?
00:50:09Shut up!
00:50:10Sean has my back.
00:50:11Why would I be scared
00:50:13of some loser
00:50:14of this hag call?
00:50:16Who are you?
00:50:17How the hell
00:50:17do you know my name?
00:50:25The signals
00:50:26are always bad here.
00:50:26We need to get
00:50:27to my mother
00:50:27in five minutes.
00:50:28Let's go.
00:50:28Move.
00:50:28Come on.
00:50:29Yes, sir.
00:50:30Yes, sir.
00:50:33You really had me fooled
00:50:35for a second there.
00:50:36I thought your friend
00:50:37was someone important.
00:50:38Turns out,
00:50:39he's just a coward.
00:50:40Couldn't even speak
00:50:41when he heard my voice.
00:50:42Couldn't say a word.
00:50:44Pathetic.
00:50:45Mike scared him speechless.
00:50:46Not so tough now,
00:50:48are you?
00:50:49You were, uh,
00:50:51clever.
00:50:52I'll give you that.
00:50:55I don't know
00:50:56how you managed
00:50:57to tell that friend
00:50:58of yours my name,
00:50:59but, uh,
00:51:00who cares?
00:51:01He's a spineless coward
00:51:03who can't even talk to me,
00:51:05let alone touch me.
00:51:06Stay away from her.
00:51:13Hey!
00:51:14Ow!
00:51:16That's right!
00:51:25Keep your lesson!
00:51:38Filthy slut!
00:51:40You make me sick!
00:51:46It came from over there!
00:51:54Let's go!
00:51:59The mayor's family
00:52:00is finished.
00:52:01Jane,
00:52:11should have been a kill shot.
00:52:16You've just burnt
00:52:17your last bridge.
00:52:18You will regret this.
00:52:20I'm just punishing
00:52:21a couple troublemakers.
00:52:22Is that a crime?
00:52:26Now,
00:52:27it's just you and me.
00:52:29Don't worry.
00:52:30I can treat you
00:52:31better than John ever could.
00:52:32Do you have another nightmare?
00:52:48Yeah.
00:52:50I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:52:51You know I will always
00:52:54be here to protect you, right?
00:52:55I'm so sorry.
00:52:59You have to go through that.
00:53:02Mom.
00:53:04This time,
00:53:05I'll protect you.
00:53:13Mom.
00:53:14Ah!
00:53:14It's your fault
00:53:15that we're in this mess.
00:53:17Just marry my brother
00:53:18like a good little girl
00:53:20and we'll let your mother go!
00:53:22Yeah,
00:53:22we offered you
00:53:23a better life
00:53:24and this is how
00:53:25you repay us.
00:53:26Some people just need
00:53:28their gratitude
00:53:28beaten into them.
00:53:31Please,
00:53:31I'm begging you.
00:53:32Don't hurt my mom.
00:53:34Let her go
00:53:34and I'll marry Gregory,
00:53:36I swear.
00:53:36Well,
00:53:36that's better.
00:53:40Ew.
00:53:41You've had your fun.
00:53:52Wrap it up.
00:53:54Such a shame,
00:53:55hmm?
00:53:56I was just getting started.
00:53:57When I'm done with you,
00:53:59you're gonna regret
00:54:00you were ever born.
00:54:02Still making threats?
00:54:04An old hag like you
00:54:05should be grateful
00:54:05I even want to touch you.
00:54:07If Brittany
00:54:08hadn't interrupted,
00:54:10we'd be having
00:54:13some real fun
00:54:14right now.
00:54:15Having fun
00:54:16with who?
00:54:33Who is he?
00:54:35That's some entrance.
00:54:36Look at those clothes.
00:54:38Must be connected
00:54:38to the mayor.
00:54:40Oh, my sweet home.
00:54:53Mom.
00:54:54Is...
00:54:55Is that really
00:54:56Miss Miller?
00:54:58You're not quite
00:54:59the entourage, baby.
00:55:00All this backup,
00:55:01just your little knee?
00:55:03Brittany,
00:55:04you don't understand.
00:55:05This is, um...
00:55:06Alexander Miller.
00:55:07I didn't think
00:55:08you'd come here yourself.
00:55:10Alexander who?
00:55:11Alexander Miller?
00:55:14That's Alexander Miller?
00:55:15Miss Miller's son?
00:55:21Shit.
00:55:22That's Alexander Miller?
00:55:24He's even dreamier
00:55:26in person.
00:55:27Sir,
00:55:28that woman
00:55:29is delusional.
00:55:30She claims
00:55:31she's your mother,
00:55:32the CEO
00:55:32of Phoenix School.
00:55:33Sir,
00:55:34it's my son's wedding today.
00:55:37We would be honored
00:55:38if you could attend
00:55:38the reception
00:55:39after you meet
00:55:41with the real Miss Miller.
00:55:43It's an honor
00:55:43to meet you, sir.
00:55:45I'm Sean's girlfriend,
00:55:46the mayor's daughter.
00:55:48You can call me Brittany.
00:55:49If you need anything
00:55:50in this town,
00:55:51my family's at your service.
00:55:54Ah!
00:55:55Brittany,
00:55:56shut up.
00:55:57What?
00:55:58It's not every day
00:55:59you meet
00:55:59the Alexander Miller.
00:56:02Also,
00:56:02think about it.
00:56:03If Miss Miller
00:56:04comes to my brother's
00:56:05wedding party too,
00:56:06we'll be the talk
00:56:07of the town.
00:56:08If you want to invite
00:56:09my mother to your party,
00:56:11then why don't you
00:56:12ask her yourself?
00:56:13Oh,
00:56:13what a brilliant idea.
00:56:15If you would be
00:56:15so kind as to lead us to it.
00:56:17There's no need for that.
00:56:19My mother is here
00:56:20right
00:56:21now.
00:56:22Where is she?
00:56:31Sir,
00:56:32are you playing
00:56:34some kind of trick on us?
00:56:35I don't see Miss Miller
00:56:36anywhere.
00:56:37I would certainly
00:56:38recognize her
00:56:39if she was in my town.
00:56:40Well,
00:56:40of course you would.
00:56:42Nothing happens here
00:56:43without the mayor
00:56:43knowing about it.
00:56:45Are you suggesting
00:56:46I wouldn't recognize
00:56:47my own mother?
00:56:48If what you're saying
00:56:52is true,
00:56:53when did she come
00:56:54to our town?
00:56:55Fifteen years ago.
00:56:56My mother came here
00:56:58to live in seclusion
00:56:59after she stepped down
00:57:00as the Phoenix CEO.
00:57:03Fifteen years ago?
00:57:05That's not possible.
00:57:13I'm so sorry
00:57:14it took so long,
00:57:15mother.
00:57:18Come here,
00:57:19my son.
00:57:21You've gotten so old.
00:57:24I missed you.
00:57:27You're a beautiful man now.
00:57:37Phoenix Group CEO?
00:57:39Impossible.
00:57:45She's really Miss Miller?
00:57:47Phoenix Group CEO?
00:57:50There has to be
00:57:51some mistake.
00:57:52She's nothing
00:57:53but a filthy woman
00:57:54who works for the orphanage.
00:57:56That fucker
00:57:57could not possibly
00:57:57be the real Miss Miller.
00:58:02Miss Miller,
00:58:03please excuse
00:58:05my girlfriend's
00:58:06disgraceful behavior.
00:58:09I take full responsibility.
00:58:11Punish me
00:58:11as you see fit.
00:58:12Our adoptive mother
00:58:14is the famous Miss Miller?
00:58:15What have we done?
00:58:23One moment,
00:58:23mother.
00:58:25Are you Grace?
00:58:29Take care,
00:58:29mother.
00:58:32Let me handle this.
00:58:36Now it's time
00:58:37for you all
00:58:37to explain yourselves.
00:58:38this is all
00:58:46a misunderstanding.
00:58:52Apologize to my mother.
00:58:53Now.
00:58:57Miss Miller,
00:58:58I beg of you.
00:58:59I'm sorry.
00:59:01I'm so, so sorry.
00:59:02You're only apologizing now
00:59:04because you know
00:59:05who I am.
00:59:06As I said,
00:59:07you would regret
00:59:08being born.
00:59:10Guards,
00:59:11get him out of my sight.
00:59:12Make sure I never see
00:59:13his face in the city again.
00:59:19Sean,
00:59:19if that's the real
00:59:20Miss Miller,
00:59:21then who did you invite
00:59:21to my birthday dinner?
00:59:24Tell her.
00:59:25Tell her she's never
00:59:25really met me.
00:59:27Tell her that I'm
00:59:27the real CEO
00:59:28of Phoenix Group.
00:59:29You thought you actually
00:59:38deserved to see
00:59:39the real Miss Miller?
00:59:40It was just some employee
00:59:41that I paid to pretend.
00:59:43I didn't think
00:59:43you'd be stupid enough
00:59:45to not notice.
00:59:46And now,
00:59:46look at the trouble
00:59:47you've caused.
00:59:51Miss Miller,
00:59:52this worthless girl
00:59:53has caused nothing
00:59:54but trouble.
00:59:55I'll kill her myself
00:59:56if you'll forgive me.
00:59:58Someone like you
00:59:58doesn't even deserve
01:00:00to work at the Phoenix Group.
01:00:02Remove him.
01:00:08Miss Miller,
01:00:09we were wrong.
01:00:12We'll never do
01:00:13anything like this again.
01:00:15Please,
01:00:16have mercy.
01:00:18Forgive us
01:00:18just this once.
01:00:20You all tortured people
01:00:22for years.
01:00:24If I was to forgive you,
01:00:26you would go on
01:00:27and continue to hurt
01:00:28innocent people.
01:00:30Take them away.
01:00:31Deal with them accordingly.
01:00:33Make them away!
01:00:34Make them away.
01:00:35No, I...
01:00:36I don't know.
01:00:37No!
01:00:43Where do you think
01:00:44you're going?
01:00:45I am not done
01:00:46with you two.
01:00:49What are you planning
01:00:50on doing
01:00:51with these two?
01:00:52You two wanted
01:00:53this house so badly.
01:00:55Burn it down!
01:00:57You don't deserve it.
01:00:58You heard my mother.
01:00:59Burn it down.
01:01:00Now!
01:01:01Yes, sir!
01:01:01Mother!
01:01:30Mother!
01:01:31Mother, please!
01:01:33For your children, Anna!
01:01:44All these years
01:01:46in seclusion,
01:01:47I gave you everything
01:01:48and yet all you wanted
01:01:50was for me to die?
01:01:51You've really shown
01:01:53your true colors.
01:01:55And you know what?
01:01:56Now you never have
01:01:57to call me mother again.
01:02:00Mother!
01:02:01And you?
01:02:06You're not off the hook.
01:02:08I'll deal with you later.
01:02:11Yes, Miss Miller.
01:02:17My dear.
01:02:19Somebody very special
01:02:20I want to introduce you to.
01:02:22Grace.
01:02:23This is my son, Alexander.
01:02:25It's an honor
01:02:26to meet you, sir.
01:02:27Please.
01:02:28You're my sister now.
01:02:30There's no need
01:02:30for formalities.
01:02:32Mother,
01:02:32I've arranged a welcome banquet
01:02:33for you at the Cloud Peak restaurant.
01:02:35What better occasion
01:02:38to introduce my daughter
01:02:40to the whole world,
01:02:42the future heiress
01:02:43of the Phoenix Group.
01:02:50It's a historical day
01:02:52for the Phoenix Group.
01:02:53The city must know
01:02:54or a CEO
01:02:55is back.
01:02:57I'll send out
01:02:58the invitations.
01:03:05Is that your boyfriend?
01:03:07The one that was
01:03:08studying abroad?
01:03:09Yes.
01:03:10He promised me
01:03:11when he came back home
01:03:12that he would propose to me.
01:03:14I'm expecting him
01:03:16to pop the question
01:03:17any time now.
01:03:19That's wonderful.
01:03:21Take the call,
01:03:21but why don't you also
01:03:22invite him to the banquet
01:03:23tonight, okay?
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:28Hi.
01:03:31Cloud Peak restaurant.
01:03:32Yeah, I can meet you there.
01:03:36There's, um,
01:03:36actually something important
01:03:38I need to tell you.
01:03:44Who's that beautiful young woman?
01:04:13She must be somewhat important
01:04:15to be at Phoenix Group's
01:04:16banquet tonight.
01:04:21Nathan!
01:04:29Victoria?
01:04:31Long time no see, bestie.
01:04:38What's going on here?
01:04:40What does it look like?
01:04:43Best friend and I
01:04:44are together now.
01:04:47But you promised me
01:04:51you'd give me a ring
01:04:51when you came back.
01:04:53Oh, he did get a ring.
01:04:55Just not for you, loser.
01:05:00Shocked to see our son
01:05:01engage with someone
01:05:02worthy of him.
01:05:03A proper match.
01:05:05At last.
01:05:06Unlike you
01:05:07and your useless poor mother
01:05:10who can't possibly
01:05:11help him in his career.
01:05:12That's right.
01:05:14My mother's a secretary
01:05:15at Phoenix Group.
01:05:16And she got Nathan
01:05:17the regional manager position
01:05:18at the company.
01:05:20Things change
01:05:21when you have
01:05:21the right connections.
01:05:23Isn't that right, sweetie?
01:05:24So that's why you chose
01:05:28my best friend over me?
01:05:30How could you both
01:05:31do this to me?
01:05:32Shut your mouth.
01:05:33Oh, honey.
01:05:38Save yourself the humiliation
01:05:40and leave.
01:05:41You don't belong here.
01:05:43Everything's set.
01:05:54City's most powerful leader
01:05:55here to meet Grace.
01:06:10Grace deserves this moment.
01:06:12After tonight,
01:06:14everyone will know
01:06:15that she's the heiress
01:06:16of the Phoenix Group.
01:06:23Wait, what?
01:06:25Someone's causing trouble
01:06:26to my sister.
01:06:29Did you honestly think
01:06:31you could compete with me?
01:06:33You're just the daughter
01:06:34of some poor crazy woman
01:06:35who can't even walk.
01:06:39And that dress.
01:06:41What'd you do?
01:06:41Steal it?
01:06:43Trash like you could never
01:06:44afford a dress like that.
01:06:46You probably borrowed it
01:06:47to pretend she's not poor.
01:06:49Just like her mother,
01:06:50pretending to be
01:06:51someone she's not.
01:06:52Let me return it
01:06:53to whatever store
01:06:54you stole it from.
01:07:03Mom.
01:07:03Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:07:16Your mother will always
01:07:17protect you now, okay?
01:07:18How dare you throw wine
01:07:27on my future daughter-in-law?
01:07:29How disgusting.
01:07:31This is why poor people
01:07:32like her have no business
01:07:34at events like this.
01:07:35And who might you be?
01:07:37I'm Nathan's father,
01:07:38Bill Carter.
01:07:40And I am his mother,
01:07:41Helen.
01:07:42So your son
01:07:43is the young man
01:07:45that my daughter
01:07:46was interested in?
01:07:48Just as I suspect.
01:07:50He's not worthy
01:07:52of my daughter.
01:07:53Who are you
01:07:54to talk down
01:07:55to my son like that?
01:07:56Our son
01:07:57is the perfect match
01:07:58any girl could hope for.
01:08:00Oh, really?
01:08:02The three heirs
01:08:13of the largest corporation?
01:08:15Only Phoenix Group
01:08:16is above them.
01:08:17What are they doing here?
01:08:22I'm James Bryan
01:08:23from the Sterling
01:08:23International Group.
01:08:25It's an honor
01:08:26to meet you, Grace.
01:08:27Grace,
01:08:28would you be honored
01:08:29to meet me
01:08:29at the dinner bar sometimes?
01:08:30I would love
01:08:32to take a travel
01:08:33with me when you can.
01:08:34My schedule
01:08:34is completely open.
01:08:36I, I...
01:08:37Sweetheart,
01:08:38don't be afraid.
01:08:40You really do
01:08:41deserve someone better.
01:08:44Grace,
01:08:45these are some
01:08:45of the finest
01:08:46young men in the city.
01:08:47And if none of them
01:08:48are to your desire,
01:08:50they're CEOs,
01:08:51they're entrepreneurs,
01:08:52and they're architects.
01:08:53You're gonna meet you.
01:08:55What's going on?
01:08:57Why are all these
01:08:57rich men surrounding
01:08:58trash like you?
01:08:59You pathetic whore!
01:09:02Since when do you know
01:09:02people with real money?
01:09:04You manipulative
01:09:06little slut!
01:09:08What other secrets
01:09:08are you hiding?
01:09:11How?
01:09:12You think you're good enough
01:09:12to touch my sister?
01:09:17Did you just say
01:09:18sister?
01:09:21I thought you said
01:09:22she was an orphan.
01:09:22How can she be
01:09:25Alexander's sister?
01:09:28Alexander,
01:09:29surely there's been
01:09:30some sort of mistake.
01:09:32And who exactly
01:09:33do you think
01:09:33you are to question me?
01:09:37Alexander,
01:09:38you must be confused.
01:09:40Grace is nothing
01:09:40but a worthless orphan.
01:09:44It's true.
01:09:45She's nothing
01:09:45but trash.
01:09:46She's garbage!
01:09:50Nothing but garbage!
01:09:51She's garbage!
01:09:58Who?
01:09:59Who are you?
01:10:04Since you're so desperate
01:10:06to find out
01:10:06who my daughter is,
01:10:08you,
01:10:09you'll find out
01:10:09soon enough.
01:10:10And you!
01:10:13You will see
01:10:14exactly
01:10:15what you threw away.
01:10:18Ladies and gentlemen,
01:10:20please welcome
01:10:20the CEO
01:10:21of Phoenix Group,
01:10:23Ms. Miller!
01:10:24Thank you!
01:10:40Thank you all
01:11:01for coming
01:11:02this evening.
01:11:03During my absence,
01:11:04I worked
01:11:05the hardest,
01:11:07most low-paying job.
01:11:09I wanted to understand
01:11:10the struggle
01:11:11of the less fortunate.
01:11:13What I ended up finding
01:11:14was something unexpected.
01:11:17I found a daughter
01:11:18with a heart of gold.
01:11:20Tonight,
01:11:21I am proud
01:11:21to introduce
01:11:22the future heiress
01:11:24of the Phoenix Group.
01:11:26You worthless bitch!
01:11:28This is all your fault!
01:11:30You made me betray Grace!
01:11:33Don't blame me
01:11:34because you threw away
01:11:35someone important!
01:11:38Grace,
01:11:39please,
01:11:40I never cared about her.
01:11:42I always loved you.
01:11:43Just give me another chance.
01:11:45I'll prove
01:11:45myself worthy.
01:11:48Alexander.
01:11:54Your sister
01:11:55is both kind
01:11:56and wise.
01:11:57You need to trust
01:11:58that she'll do
01:11:59the right thing.
01:12:00Grace,
01:12:04Victoria deceived us all.
01:12:06Our son truly cares
01:12:08for you.
01:12:08Give him one more chance.
01:12:10Yes, Grace.
01:12:11You and Nathan
01:12:12have history.
01:12:13If you become
01:12:14our daughter-in-law,
01:12:15we'll treat you
01:12:16like our own.
01:12:17When you thought
01:12:18my mom and I
01:12:19were nothing,
01:12:20you treated us
01:12:21like dirt.
01:12:22And then you stood by
01:12:24and watched
01:12:25while Nathan
01:12:25betrayed me
01:12:26and humiliated
01:12:27my mother.
01:12:28Grace,
01:12:28I was wrong.
01:12:30I mean,
01:12:30even my parents
01:12:31see you now.
01:12:32It will never,
01:12:33ever happen again.
01:12:34I swear.
01:12:36You're only sorry
01:12:36because of who I am now.
01:12:39Yes,
01:12:39I once had feelings
01:12:41for you,
01:12:42but that's over.
01:12:43I never want
01:12:46to see you again.
01:12:51You think you're
01:12:53above me now?
01:12:55Pay me
01:12:56one hundred
01:12:57million dollars
01:12:59or else
01:12:59everyone finds out
01:13:01how you really
01:13:01became the Phoenix
01:13:02Gruberus
01:13:03by sleeping
01:13:05with your own
01:13:05adoptive brother.
01:13:07How dare you?
01:13:12That's a lie.
01:13:14Truth doesn't matter.
01:13:16My mother
01:13:16is a PR manager
01:13:17at Phoenix Group.
01:13:18She can forge
01:13:19all the proof
01:13:20we need.
01:13:21The press
01:13:21will eat it up.
01:13:22And I'll back
01:13:23every word of it.
01:13:25After all,
01:13:27I am regional manager
01:13:28of Phoenix Group.
01:13:29Just pay us the money.
01:13:31The Phoenix Group
01:13:32has the money.
01:13:32Or watch your
01:13:33reputation crumble.
01:13:35Is your mother's
01:13:37name Sarah Bell?
01:13:39She's the PR manager
01:13:40for Phoenix Group,
01:13:41right?
01:13:42So what,
01:13:43old hag?
01:13:45Oh,
01:13:45she clearly
01:13:47didn't know
01:13:47how to teach you
01:13:48manners.
01:13:50So I guess
01:13:51she's
01:13:51fired.
01:13:53What?
01:13:54You can't do that!
01:13:56You
01:13:56and your two families
01:13:58can take your stuff
01:13:59and get out
01:14:00of the city.
01:14:01You're going to have
01:14:01a very hard time
01:14:03finding any work here.
01:14:05please have mercy
01:14:08on my son.
01:14:10He's a foolish boy.
01:14:11He doesn't know
01:14:12what he's doing.
01:14:14Take them away.
01:14:16I do not want
01:14:17to see them
01:14:17in the city again.
01:14:20Yes,
