00:00:00Doctor, is my mom going to be okay?
00:00:17I'm sorry, Grace.
00:00:18She has a brain hemorrhage.
00:00:21With immediate surgery, there is a chance, but...
00:00:26It'll cost $500,000.
00:00:30$500,000.
00:00:31I don't have that kind of money, but Mom needs me.
00:00:35I'll find a way to get the money.
00:00:36Please, just save my mom.
00:00:39I can do that.
00:00:42Grace Miller.
00:00:43Rose, well, thank God you two are here.
00:00:46Mom was working at the orphanage when she fainted,
00:00:48and it's going to cost $500,000.
00:00:50$500,000?
00:00:53And where are we supposed to get that?
00:00:56Call off the surgery, Doc.
00:00:58There's no way we're paying for that.
00:01:00Rose, what are you saying?
00:01:01She's our mom.
00:01:02She adopted us.
00:01:03You can't just enforce us to grow up dirt poor.
00:01:06She's a low-life worker.
00:01:07She doesn't deserve to be a mom.
00:01:09If it wasn't for her,
00:01:10we could have been adopted by someone rich.
00:01:12You guys hear yourself.
00:01:14She took us in when we had nothing.
00:01:17She gave us a home.
00:01:18She made sure that we were never hungry,
00:01:20and you're just mad at her because she's not rich?
00:01:22Speaking of money,
00:01:24today's mom's payday.
00:01:25This is mom's.
00:01:29Don't you dare touch it.
00:01:32No.
00:01:33No.
00:01:34No.
00:01:34No.
00:01:35No.
00:01:43No.
00:01:45No.
00:01:50No, mom worked hard for that.
00:01:51Should be enough for a new iPhone, though.
00:01:53Mom needs that money for her surgery.
00:01:55You can't just take it.
00:01:56Sure we can.
00:01:57That old hag's about to die.
00:01:58Her money's ours now.
00:02:00You want money?
00:02:02Pick it up.
00:02:03Consider this our donation to mom's surgery.
00:02:17Or funeral.
00:02:20I'll save you, mom.
00:02:33I can sell blood for money.
00:02:41This is the only way I might be able to save mom.
00:02:44That old hag's about to die.
00:02:45I've got to death.
00:02:45Iков.
00:02:46I'm done.
00:02:49I'm done.
00:02:59I'm done.
00:03:01I'm done.
00:03:01I'm done.
00:03:02I'm done.
00:03:02I'm done.
00:03:03I'm done.
00:03:04Go ahead, take a seat, guys.
00:03:22Look, I've gathered you all here today for a very important announcement.
00:03:25Fifteen years ago, my mother, Mary Miller, disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:03:30But now, she is returning to take her rightful place as the CEO of the Phoenix Group, ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:37The CEO has finally returned.
00:03:39Miss Miller raised her son alone to build Phoenix Group.
00:03:43Now, after 15 years, she's coming back.
00:03:46Even out of the public eye, she remains a legend.
00:03:49No one can match what she built.
00:03:50See, although my mother's been living in seclusion, we've remained in contact over the years.
00:03:55And she's adopted three children, who I believe will be joining our company very soon.
00:03:59Sir, we can't find your mother. She isn't answering our calls.
00:04:05What? My mother is missing?
00:04:10I want to sell my blood. Please.
00:04:13I have an extremely rare blood type. Type AB negative.
00:04:17You need it, and I need money for my mother's surgery. Please.
00:04:21Please.
00:04:29We are at 400. I have to stop now, or you'll pass out.
00:04:45No, no. Don't stop it. I can do it.
00:04:47I can do it.
00:04:51Miss?
00:04:52Miss?
00:04:52Miss?
00:04:53Miss? Miss? Miss? Miss?
00:04:58Miss?
00:04:58Grace, I told you to go home and rest. You just fainted from donating all that blood.
00:05:20I'm fine, doctor. How's my mom?
00:05:23Well, the operation was a success, but Grace, with your mother's condition, we're looking at some very expensive long-term care.
00:05:31Oh, I got it, doctor. She's my mom. I won't give up on her.
00:05:37She's very lucky to have you. I'll go work on the list of her medication.
00:05:40You adopted me, mom. You taught me what family was, love is. Don't worry. I'm not going to give up on you. I'm going to make sure you get better.
00:05:59It's been hours. Where is Miss Miller?
00:06:11If Miss Miller says she's returning, then she will be coming back. Otherwise, Mr. Miller will find her.
00:06:18When she left 15 years ago, she made all of us, even Mr. Miller, promise never to search for her.
00:06:23Did she reach her? Her phone? It's completely dead. She'd never let that happen. Not on the day that she's supposed to return.
00:06:34Something's not right.
00:06:36Do whatever it takes. Flip this city upside down. I don't care, but we're going to find my mother.
00:06:42Yes, sir.
00:06:42Yes, sir.
00:06:43One day at work here will cover three days of mom's medication.
00:07:01Next!
00:07:02Sir, I'm here to work. Please, if there's any opportunity that you have, I would gladly take it.
00:07:08Come on, Grace. Everyone knows you passed out yesterday at the hospital. I can't have you dying on my sight. I'll lose my damn job.
00:07:14No, please, please. I'm begging you. Please, I really need the money. My mom will die without it.
00:07:20But with treatment, I mean, there's a chance that she may wake up. But if I give up, it's over for her. Please.
00:07:28If I catch you slacking off one time, I won't pay you a single penny.
00:07:36Mom, thank you so much. You can trust me. I am a hard worker. Thank you.
00:07:42Next!
00:07:46Don't worry, Mom. I'll make enough money and you'll get better.
00:07:49All right, time for lunch. Get back to work as soon as you're finished.
00:08:14Grace!
00:08:16Lucy, what's wrong?
00:08:18You have to get home right now, Grace. Your sister and brother are selling your mom's house.
00:08:30We've turned this whole house upside down.
00:08:33I can't believe the old hag doesn't even have any savings.
00:08:35Whatever. Just forget it. Let's get down to business. We're going to stand here in his letter.
00:08:39You see this, Mom?
00:08:41You ruined our life at a better chance with a rich family.
00:08:45Now, with just one little stamp here, you'll give us what we deserve.
00:08:49As if this old hag can hear you. Just get it over with already.
00:08:56What are you doing?
00:09:00Mom. Mom, are you okay?
00:09:02You're trying to steal Mom's house? You can't do that. Mom worked hard for it.
00:09:12Fine. If she doesn't want us to sell it, then we won't.
00:09:16Go on. Say it. Say it.
00:09:19Hey, you old hag. Is anyone there? Hello? Can you speak up? Speak up!
00:09:23Get your filthy hands off of her.
00:09:27Be honest. You don't actually give a shit about Mom.
00:09:30You're just putting on a little show, hoping she'll magically wake up and give you everything.
00:09:34That's not true. That's...
00:09:36Oh, poor little Grace. Trying so hard, and your mommy can't even see.
00:09:42If you don't want to take care of Mom, that's fine. I'll do it myself.
00:09:46But I'm not going to let you take anything away from her.
00:09:48Try and stop us.
00:09:49Mom? Mom? Your finger's moving.
00:10:03Would you look at that? She's actually losing it.
00:10:08I saw it. Her finger's moving. She's trying to tell us something.
00:10:11Mom's brain is mush. The only thing moving in her head are the worms eating the rest of it out.
00:10:19You stupid bitch. I'm tired of repeating myself. Mom is dying. Dead people don't need a house.
00:10:40You know, William and I just want the best for you, little sis.
00:10:44Say, you and the mayor's son are the same age, right?
00:10:49Mayor's daughter-in-law sounds awfully nice.
00:10:52What? The mayor's daughter-in-law?
00:10:57After you and the mayor's son tie the knot, we'll send...
00:11:00That to a nursing home far, far away.
00:11:06She takes up too much space here.
00:11:09So there's the bride for my son.
00:11:20Well, son, she's the girl you said you liked, right?
00:11:23A real virgin.
00:11:25Just like me.
00:11:26All the other girls always run away.
00:11:29But not you.
00:11:31You'll be my first.
00:11:33Time to make you mine.
00:11:34No, no, don't touch me!
00:11:46No, no, don't touch me!
00:11:49You can't say no to me!
00:11:51My dad owns this town. Nobody says no to me.
00:11:54Look at you, acting so high and mighty.
00:11:57You're still selling your blood, aren't you?
00:11:59Just for a few pennies.
00:12:00We offer you a way out of poverty, and this is the way you repay us.
00:12:06Do you know how rich and powerful the mayor is?
00:12:10Mom's gonna die because you're too proud to spread your legs for the mayor's son.
00:12:14I'm not going to marry him.
00:12:17Don't you see, Grace?
00:12:19William and I are doing this for you and Mom.
00:12:22You should be grateful.
00:12:23Half a million, and she's all yours tonight.
00:12:26Steve Price for an orphan.
00:12:28I don't care, Dad!
00:12:29You promised me I can have her, and I want her.
00:12:32Give them what they want, sir.
00:12:34If you want a grandson or not, she can work for us.
00:12:36That's the man.
00:12:37Ah!
00:12:43Pleasure doing business with you, sir.
00:12:45My sister's all yours.
00:12:46No, no, no, no, Mom!
00:12:51Mom, please!
00:12:52Don't let them take me, Mom!
00:13:13No one sells my daughter.
00:13:15Get away from my daughter!
00:13:32Oh, Mom!
00:13:34Thank God you're awake!
00:13:36Don't scare us like that again, okay?
00:13:38I didn't know what to do!
00:13:40Yeah, Mom.
00:13:41We're so happy to have you back.
00:13:43It looks like you know exactly what you're doing.
00:13:50Selling the house.
00:13:52No, Mom, you have the wrong idea.
00:13:55We were selling the house to help pay for your treatment.
00:13:58Treatment?
00:13:59You didn't even want to pay for Mom's surgery.
00:14:01Don't listen to Grace's lies, Mom.
00:14:03William and I have been working day and night to pay for your surgery.
00:14:07No, that's not true.
00:14:09I was selling my blood to pay back...
00:14:11Grace, I know you seduced the mayor's son and are about to marry into a powerful family,
00:14:15but that doesn't mean you can lie to Mom's face.
00:14:18Grace was trying to marry into the mayor's family so she didn't have to take care of you.
00:14:22Rose and I had no choice but to sell the house.
00:14:23Enough!
00:14:23Just because I had my eyes closed doesn't mean that I didn't hear everything you said.
00:14:32And not only were you trying to just sell the house, but you were trying to sell your sister, Grace, as well!
00:14:40Mom, I'm so glad you're awake.
00:14:43I didn't know what else to do.
00:14:44Oh, my sweet daughter, I hurt everything, everything you did to keep me safe.
00:14:53Your mother will make these ingrits pay for what they did to you.
00:15:02This, this is just a silly house.
00:15:06And I would have given it to you without a second thought.
00:15:09But now, after the stunt that you two pulled, you won't get anything.
00:15:23Well, William and I would have considered looking after you if you were even moderately wealthy.
00:15:29But you're just poor.
00:15:31Do you know how goddamn embarrassing it is to call you our mother?
00:15:38Embarrassing?
00:15:39When we were orphans, nobody wanted us.
00:15:42Mom gave us a home.
00:15:43She saved us.
00:15:44Saved us?
00:15:47I didn't choose the shitty life she offered us.
00:15:50Poor people shouldn't drag others into their suffering.
00:15:54That's not fair.
00:15:56Take it back.
00:15:59You see this, you old hag?
00:16:01We already have your signature and fingerprint on the inheritance letter.
00:16:05It's too late to stop us now.
00:16:07You're not getting anything from me.
00:16:10Not a single cent.
00:16:15Grace, do you have my phone?
00:16:18Oh, Grace.
00:16:19This is your mom's phone.
00:16:21You can keep it for now.
00:16:22Doctor, this phone is really nice.
00:16:25Are you sure it belongs to my mom?
00:16:26We took it from her pocket right before the surgery.
00:16:29Miss Miller.
00:16:42Miss Miller.
00:16:46Alexander.
00:16:47It's me.
00:16:48My mother was in danger.
00:16:55Thanks to her adopted daughter, Grace.
00:16:57She's safe in a small town.
00:16:58I'm heading over there to bring her back home.
00:17:00Someone who dares to threaten Miss Miller must be insane.
00:17:03Let us come with you, sir.
00:17:04We should all be there to welcome her back.
00:17:06And we'll show those who crossed her who's boss.
00:17:09Sir, I've sent John Smith to check on your mother.
00:17:16Make sure he keeps her safe until I get there.
00:17:18These people are going to regret him crossing her.
00:17:20Yes, sir.
00:17:20I'm coming, mother.
00:17:22Wait, he has another son?
00:17:24No idea who the guy is.
00:17:25I wonder where she found this guy.
00:17:27Probably fished him out of a dumpster.
00:17:29Bet he's just as pathetic as she is.
00:17:31Another worthless charity case.
00:17:33Stop it.
00:17:35That's your brother you're talking about.
00:17:36Relax, Grace.
00:17:40Soon they'll be on their knees, begging for forgiveness.
00:17:43Who do you think you are, you old hag?
00:17:45Some kind of superhero?
00:17:47The mayor is related to Mr. Smith.
00:17:49The man who transformed the Sterling Corp into the Phoenix Group's biggest subsidiary.
00:17:55He can make any person disappear.
00:17:57And guess what?
00:17:59They just called them about Gregory's wedding.
00:18:01He should be here at any moment.
00:18:03Mr. Smith?
00:18:04You mean John?
00:18:05Speaking as if she knows him personally.
00:18:08The man controls billions with a nerve on this woman.
00:18:12Let me explain something to you.
00:18:14Phoenix Group isn't just some company.
00:18:17They own everything.
00:18:19They're untouchable gods among men.
00:18:23She probably thinks Phoenix Group is just some bird-watching club.
00:18:28Mark my words.
00:18:30You'll all be on your knees, begging for mercy.
00:18:33And when John Smith gets here, he's going to be trembling in his boots.
00:18:39Mr. Smith has important business to attend to.
00:18:54Starting now, all roads headed to the town are closed off.
00:18:57I heard Mr. Smith has barely been seen in public ever since Miss Miller went into hiding.
00:19:01Wow.
00:19:02If Mr. Smith is going out like this, he must be doing business with a really important person.
00:19:07I never thought I'd ever meet Miss Miller in person.
00:19:09This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
00:19:13She's the pride of the city.
00:19:14But, sir, we don't even have a photo of her.
00:19:17We don't know what she looks like.
00:19:17I have other matters to attend to in that town anyway.
00:19:21Let's move out.
00:19:22We'll grab the photo later.
00:19:26Wait, you think Mr. Smith will kneel before someone like you?
00:19:31Oh, don't make me laugh.
00:19:34Oh, she's completely delusional.
00:19:37Enough.
00:19:38I won't stand here and let you insult my mother like this.
00:19:43Know your place and shut up, you stupid bitch.
00:19:47Lay a hand on my daughter one more time, and I'll make sure you don't use that hand again.
00:20:00What's wrong?
00:20:01Our money not good enough for you?
00:20:03Fine.
00:20:05Name your price.
00:20:06Everything has one.
00:20:08Just like you.
00:20:11Oh, how amusing.
00:20:14You think that you can...
00:20:15You can buy me off.
00:20:17I would love to see you try.
00:20:20Hmm.
00:20:24Word is, Miss Miller has an adoptive daughter, Grace, that's been taking care of her.
00:20:28Without her, we might not see Miss Miller again.
00:20:30This Grace Miller must be someone special.
00:20:33There aren't a lot of daughters like her out there.
00:20:36It's me.
00:20:37Make sure to arrange an exceptional gift for Miss Miller.
00:20:41And prepare something special for Grace Miller.
00:20:43Only the best for the girl that saved Miss Miller.
00:20:48Sir, John Smith should be arriving to town any moment now.
00:20:51The signal there is terrible.
00:20:53I just sent him a photo of Miss Miller.
00:20:55He should be receiving it shortly.
00:20:57Look, my mother likes to keep low profile.
00:20:58So I want you to tell her people to shut down the entire neighborhood, okay?
00:21:02I don't want anyone seeing my mother.
00:21:04Yes, sir.
00:21:05You think that you can buy me?
00:21:08Well, just look at you.
00:21:09Wearing those rags, living in this filthy place.
00:21:13And you have the nerve to reject my son.
00:21:16People like you should be on your knees, kissing our feet.
00:21:20Thanking us for the chance at a better life.
00:21:25Your son is a worthless parasite that vultures would refuse to eat.
00:21:34How dare you speak that way about my son?
00:21:43I was abandoned as a child.
00:21:54When I was 15 years old, my mom took me in and gave me a home.
00:21:58You may just see her as another nobody, working lowly jobs with little money.
00:22:05But to me, she's the greatest mom in the world.
00:22:09She's my everything.
00:22:10And I'm not just going to stand here and let you humiliate her.
00:22:14Boo-hoo.
00:22:15I'm in tears.
00:22:16Who cares if we insult this old hag?
00:22:18My husband is mere.
00:22:21And we can do anything we want, as a matter of fact.
00:22:25My son can take you right here.
00:22:27And right now, if he wants.
00:22:31I'm going to teach my wife some manners.
00:22:33No, no, no, stay back, please.
00:22:36You will all write this.
00:22:37Don't do that, please.
00:22:41Don't do that, please.
00:22:45Holy shit.
00:22:50Is that John Smith?
00:22:52The mayor's got some family problems from what I hear, and he's probably just here to help them out.
00:23:01What the hell?
00:23:03No, no, no, help.
00:23:03Go where?
00:23:04No.
00:23:04I could assure you the consequences for spreading unverified rumors in front of Mr. Smith are serious.
00:23:13Mr. Smith, please let us go.
00:23:15Please, sir, let us go. We had nothing to do with this.
00:23:17You should be talking to that family over there who rejected the mayor's son.
00:23:22You're lying. Who dare reject Gregory Warren? Don't they know he's related to Mr. Smith?
00:23:27We're not lying, sir. You can see for yourself. Our house is at the end of this road.
00:23:32All right. Looks like I'll have to take care of this myself.
00:23:37Let go of me! Let go!
00:23:42Hit her again, Mother!
00:23:48We offer you everything and you choose to stay in this filth? Fine. Stay here and rot!
00:23:54My mother's love means everything to me. I'd rather stay in poverty by her side than live in a cage without her.
00:24:02Too bad that's not your decision to make.
00:24:08Too bad that's not your decision to make.
00:24:11Mr. Smith? He actually came.
00:24:13Only the famous John Smith could arrive in such style.
00:24:17Mr. Smith, thank you for coming.
00:24:19What's going on here? You're related to someone like me.
00:24:22Finding your son or wife should be the easiest thing in the world.
00:24:24It's these arrogant fools, sir. They have no idea the privilege they're throwing away.
00:24:30And Mr. Smith, they even had the audacity to threaten you. Said you would tremble before him.
00:24:35What? Someone dare threaten the John Smith, the head of Phoenix Group's most powerful subsidiary?
00:24:43The man that no one crosses.
00:24:46Yes, it's that woman right over there.
00:24:49Hello, John.
00:24:57Why does her voice sound so familiar?
00:25:01Just now, Phoenix Group's CEO, Mary Miller, one of the most powerful figures in our city,
00:25:07has relinquished full control of the company to her son.
00:25:12Mary, do you have anything to say? Anything to say at all, Mary, about the transition of power?
00:25:17Miss Miller. Miss Miller. Miss Miller. Miss Miller. I owe everything to you.
00:25:24You started Sterling Corps and gave me my position.
00:25:27If you're really planning on leaving Phoenix Group, please, at least, let me drive you home.
00:25:34If you really want to share your gratitude, take good care of Sterling Group. I'm counting on you.
00:25:44How dare you use Mr. Smith's first name?
00:25:47Keep our boss's name out of your mouth or else I'll...
00:25:49Wait!
00:25:55You keep our boss's name out of your mouth or else I'll...
00:25:57Wait!
00:25:59You. You know who I am.
00:26:01Mr. Smith, listen to this filth trying to pretend she knows you.
00:26:06Yes, I do know you, John.
00:26:08How dare you address Mr. Smith like that?
00:26:12Trash like you should show respect.
00:26:15Mr. Smith, this is just some old woman who works as a cheap laborer at the orphanage nearby.
00:26:21A day laborer? I must have mistaken her for someone else.
00:26:24What happened to all your threats?
00:26:27Weren't you just saying how Mr. Smith would tremble and fall to his knees?
00:26:30You said that?
00:26:31I did.
00:26:32Who do you think you are, huh?
00:26:35Don't touch my mom.
00:26:38Oh, you want to be brave too?
00:26:40Huh?
00:26:43Mr. Smith, it's a message for Mr. Miller.
00:26:45It's a photo of Mrs. Miller.
00:26:51It's a photo of Mrs. Miller.
00:26:54You mean Mrs. Miller?
00:26:56Yeah.
00:26:56She's Phoenix Group's CEO.
00:26:58They say she controls all the city.
00:27:00But she disappeared years ago when she gave control to her son when he turned 18.
00:27:05We could have been living the high life if she had adopted us instead of being stuck with this worthless woman.
00:27:11Mr. Smith, you see, everything's ready for the wedding.
00:27:14If you could just help us convince the bride.
00:27:17Mrs. Miller is here in town somewhere.
00:27:19I have to find and greet her.
00:27:21I can't let this petty situation get in the way.
00:27:24Take her to the church.
00:27:25No, let me go.
00:27:26I won't marry him.
00:27:28I need to stay with my mom.
00:27:29Try to get past me.
00:27:31See how that works.
00:27:37Try to get past me.
00:27:38See how that works out for you.
00:27:40Move aside, ma'am.
00:27:41Mr. Smith is due to welcome back the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:27:45If you and your daughter get in the way, you'll pay the price.
00:27:51So, this is how you run Sterling Group now.
00:27:56Torment the weak?
00:27:58Throw your weight around?
00:27:59Shut your damn mouth.
00:28:01Stripper.
00:28:03Let her mother watch what happens to people who defy me.
00:28:06You are making your last mistake.
00:28:11You think I'm scared of some empty threats from an old hag in a wheelchair?
00:28:15What are you going to do about it?
00:28:18No, no, no.
00:28:20No.
00:28:20No.
00:28:20No.
00:28:20No.
00:28:20No.
00:28:20No.
00:28:21No.
00:28:21No.
00:28:21No.
00:28:21No.
00:28:22No.
00:28:22No.
00:28:22No.
00:28:23No.
00:28:23No.
00:28:23No.
00:28:24No.
00:28:24No.
00:28:25No.
00:28:25No.
00:28:26No.
00:28:26No.
00:28:27No.
00:28:27No.
00:28:28No.
00:28:29No.
00:28:30No.
00:28:31No.
00:28:32No.
00:28:33No.
00:28:34No.
00:28:34No.
00:28:35No.
00:28:36No.
00:28:36How could I be so foolish?
00:28:50Miss Miller, the CEO of Phoenix Group, is right in front of my eyes.
00:28:55Mr. Smith is about to teach this old woman a lesson that she should never open her mouth.
00:29:00Just watch.
00:29:01Oh, that'll teach you to disrespect someone like Mr. Smith.
00:29:04Just crawl on the ground and beg for forgiveness, you pathetic old hag.
00:29:08That's right.
00:29:09Go on.
00:29:10And grovel before he destroys you.
00:29:13I have no need to apologize.
00:29:15I meant every word that I said.
00:29:18I said that when John Smith gets here, he will tremble and fall to his knees.
00:29:23And that is exactly what will happen.
00:29:26What planet are you even living on?
00:29:30You're not just a beggar.
00:29:31You're a complete lunatic.
00:29:33You're under arrest.
00:29:34Never fuck.
00:29:34How long is he taking charge of me?
00:29:51Aיז cold night?
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:51You're not just like this old집.
00:29:53It's like a strong honour.
00:29:53You're the only one who's in full school.
00:29:54You're the most ratedaterial.
00:29:55I'm not somebody going to jump.
00:29:56You're the only one who's in full school, is not a great acquisition.
00:29:56I'm on the way.
00:29:57Get to facebook with me.
00:29:57But I'm thinking about going for use.
00:29:58Sir, what's the matter?
00:30:08On your knees.
00:30:09But sir, she's just some...
00:30:10I said on your knees!
00:30:17Are you all deaf?
00:30:20Get on your knees!
00:30:22Mr. Smith, what's this all about?
00:30:24Are you not feeling well?
00:30:26What did this brain-dead bitch do to him?
00:30:29Get him away before whatever's riding in her head spreads!
00:30:33Mr. Smith, what are you doing?
00:30:37I'm warning you.
00:30:38Do not disrespect this woman.
00:30:41She is.
00:30:43She is.
00:30:44She is nothing but a pathetic waste of space.
00:30:47She can't even stand on her own two feet.
00:30:50Her brain is riding away and she doesn't have a penny to her name.
00:30:53Are you seriously going to defend this old witch?
00:30:58Looks like you remember me now, John.
00:31:04Why don't you tell everyone else who I am?
00:31:06Go ahead.
00:31:09Address him as Mr. Smith, you disrespectful old hag.
00:31:13Mr. Smith, we never wanted her as her mother.
00:31:19We've already cut ties with this woman.
00:31:20We don't support her behavior at all.
00:31:23Please, don't punish us for her actions.
00:31:27I understand you're upset, Mr. Smith.
00:31:29Let me remove this worthless woman.
00:31:31Leave all of you.
00:31:40Mr. Smith, why are you protecting her?
00:31:42She's beneath you.
00:31:43Mr. Smith, please.
00:31:45We're family.
00:31:46Family?
00:31:48You're just distant relatives.
00:31:50The only reason I maintain contact with you is because someone told me to never forget where I came from.
00:31:56And that someone was her.
00:31:59She helped me build Sterling Core for nothing.
00:32:08John, return my daughter to me.
00:32:11And we'll discuss your actions later.
00:32:14Yes, Miss Miller.
00:32:15No one will ever hurt you again, okay?
00:32:33Who the hell are you?
00:32:42On behalf of Sterling Core.
00:32:45I formally welcome you back to Phoenix Group.
00:32:47Welcome back, boss.
00:32:51She's the CEO of Phoenix Group?
00:32:59Phoenix Group CEO.
00:33:01Huh, that's impossible.
00:33:03There must be some mistake.
00:33:04This old hag doesn't even have money.
00:33:06Just look at her.
00:33:07Yeah, the richest CEO in the country wearing bargain bin clothes,
00:33:11working at an orphanage,
00:33:13and living in this dump.
00:33:14Please.
00:33:15Do you even hear yourself?
00:33:17If it wasn't for Miss Miller living a modest life,
00:33:19you'd still be orphans,
00:33:21you ungrateful brats.
00:33:24And you,
00:33:25you must be the adoptive daughter who saved Miss Miller.
00:33:29Don't be afraid.
00:33:31You're Miss Miller's daughter,
00:33:32and the only one who protected her.
00:33:33And now,
00:33:34Sterling Core will protect you.
00:33:36If anyone tries to harm you,
00:33:38they'll pay the price.
00:33:40I just want to stay with my mom and take care of her.
00:33:44Please.
00:33:45Don't let them force me to marry this man.
00:33:47My sweet girl.
00:33:54No way!
00:33:55My parents paid good money for you,
00:33:56so you belong to me now.
00:33:58Please, please!
00:33:58Your mother can run into nursing home for all I care.
00:34:01Nobody touches my daughter.
00:34:02John, break his wrist!
00:34:06John, break his wrist!
00:34:08Help!
00:34:13Mr. Smith, please don't do this.
00:34:15Please, he's our only son.
00:34:16Please, he's all we've got.
00:34:18You love your son like I love my daughter.
00:34:22And yet, you let him terrorize Grace,
00:34:24and you didn't say anything.
00:34:27And now, you want to apologize?
00:34:30It's too late.
00:34:31But your daughter is fine.
00:34:33Do you really have to do this?
00:34:35If I let this go today,
00:34:37then you'll keep terrorizing those weaker than you,
00:34:40like my daughter.
00:34:41So today, there will be a lesson for not only your son,
00:34:44but for everyone else.
00:34:45Please, mark my words.
00:34:49Who do you think you are barking at my parents and brother?
00:34:52Move or I'll end you all!
00:34:57Brittany, my sweet daughter.
00:34:59Thank God you're here.
00:35:00Don't worry, Dad.
00:35:02I've got this under control.
00:35:04Did you forget?
00:35:06My boyfriend is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:35:10So what, young lady?
00:35:12And this is Alexander's mother, Miss Miller,
00:35:14CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:35:17She is not the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:35:20She's a fraud!
00:35:21What are you talking about?
00:35:26Just because you're dating Alexander's lap dog
00:35:28doesn't mean you can run your mouth and spread lies.
00:35:30Lies?
00:35:31I've seen the Phoenix Group CEO with my own two eyes.
00:35:35She got me a present for my birthday.
00:35:37Sean, what's wrong?
00:35:47Today's my girlfriend's birthday,
00:35:48and she wants me to invite Miss Mary Miller to her party.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54She's so secluded,
00:35:55even her own son can't see her whenever he wants.
00:35:59How do you expect her to agree to meet your girlfriend?
00:36:01Wait, what if you pretend to be her?
00:36:07Nobody even knows what she looks like outside of the board anyway.
00:36:11Pretend to be CEO for my girlfriend's birthday party,
00:36:15and I'll get working on that promotion that you've been wanting for years.
00:36:21Oh, yeah?
00:36:23Hmm, fine.
00:36:25I'll do it.
00:36:27Young lady,
00:36:28I don't know who your family is,
00:36:31but you better believe that I could destroy them with one phone call.
00:36:36Everyone here sees that you're just broke and delusional.
00:36:41Cut the act, you widowed hag!
00:36:45Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:36:47I'm going to have my boyfriend expose you for the fraud you really are.
00:36:58Brittany,
00:37:02I'm on my way.
00:37:05My mother's coming back to the Phoenix group today,
00:37:07so I want you guys to get her something absolutely spectacular, okay?
00:37:10It's time to show this city who's really been behind our success.
00:37:14Also, I want you to get something for that girl.
00:37:16The one that she adopted,
00:37:18that's been taking care of her.
00:37:19She's my sister now,
00:37:20so get her something grand as well.
00:37:21Boss,
00:37:25is everything okay?
00:37:27I need you to do something for me.
00:37:29It's about Brittany.
00:37:30Someone causing your girlfriend trouble?
00:37:32Don't worry,
00:37:33I'll handle it.
00:37:34I'll make them beg for mercy for what they've done.
00:37:37Take her right here.
00:37:38Gotta handle something for Sean.
00:37:40Yes, sir.
00:37:41Hear that?
00:37:46My daughter's boyfriend is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:37:50He's one of Phoenix group's rising stars.
00:37:52You picked the wrong people to mess with.
00:37:55You're done for.
00:37:56Thank God we cut ties with you,
00:37:57you crazy old witch.
00:37:59You almost gave me a heart attack,
00:38:01you old hag.
00:38:02Turns out you were a fraud all along.
00:38:04You.
00:38:06Who would have thought
00:38:07our daughter would end up
00:38:09dating Alexander's right-hand man.
00:38:12When her boyfriend gets here,
00:38:13we're gonna strip you
00:38:15and your daughter naked
00:38:16and throw you into the streets.
00:38:18Let everyone see
00:38:19how we treat liars like you.
00:38:21I'm afraid you're in
00:38:22for quite a disappointment.
00:38:25Still acting tough?
00:38:26You really are shameless.
00:38:28Mom.
00:38:30John, handle this right now.
00:38:32She's scaring my daughter.
00:38:34Yes, Miss Miller.
00:38:37Back off, John.
00:38:49You're just some low-level manager.
00:38:51My boyfriend will destroy your career
00:38:53if you touch me.
00:38:56Did you just hit me?
00:39:00Not bad for an old hag.
00:39:02I get it now, John.
00:39:04You're siding with this hag
00:39:05because she crawled into your bed.
00:39:07You disgusting little...
00:39:09Oh, did I hurt a nerve?
00:39:12Just wait until my boyfriend gets here.
00:39:14I'm going to tell him
00:39:15that you hit me for this old slut.
00:39:17You're dead.
00:39:19You really think
00:39:20your boyfriend is that important?
00:39:23To me.
00:39:25He's nothing.
00:39:27But he doesn't even deserve
00:39:28to clean the dirt up my shoes.
00:39:30Nobody insults Mr. Sean Parker
00:39:34and lives to talk about it.
00:39:36Mike?
00:39:37Why are you alone?
00:39:38Where's Sean?
00:39:39Relax, Miss.
00:39:40Sean and Miss Miller
00:39:41have more important matters
00:39:42than dealing with trash.
00:39:44So,
00:39:45who's been causing trouble
00:39:46for my boss's girlfriend?
00:39:48It was this piece of garbage
00:39:50right here.
00:39:51She said that Mr. Sean Parker
00:39:52didn't deserve to clean
00:39:54the dirt off her shoes.
00:39:55And she's pretending
00:39:57to be the CEO
00:39:58of Phoenix Group,
00:39:59Miss Miller.
00:40:01Miss Miller?
00:40:06Miss Miller,
00:40:07old hag.
00:40:09You've got some nerve
00:40:10pretending to be Miss Miller.
00:40:12Open your eyes.
00:40:14She is Miss Miller.
00:40:15Right.
00:40:16And I'm the Queen of England.
00:40:18Tell you what.
00:40:19If she's really the CEO,
00:40:22I'll tattoo fool
00:40:24on my forehead.
00:40:26Nice performance, John.
00:40:28Good thing I met
00:40:29the real CEO
00:40:30at Brittany's birthday party
00:40:31or I might have fallen
00:40:32for your little act.
00:40:33I don't know
00:40:34who you think you met,
00:40:35but that was not the CEO.
00:40:37If my mom really lied,
00:40:39it was to protect me
00:40:40from being forced
00:40:41to marry the mayor's son.
00:40:43But,
00:40:43if she isn't the CEO
00:40:45of Phoenix Group,
00:40:46then,
00:40:46I apologize.
00:40:48Just, please.
00:40:49Don't hurt my mother.
00:40:51Well,
00:40:52what do we have here?
00:40:54Quite the pretty little thing.
00:40:56Since you're such
00:40:57a good daughter,
00:40:59I'll let this lie.
00:41:01Under one condition.
00:41:05Marry the mayor's son.
00:41:10And I'll forgive
00:41:11your mother's lies.
00:41:12Grace,
00:41:13don't listen to this fool.
00:41:16Mom.
00:41:17I never thought
00:41:19that I would have
00:41:20a real family.
00:41:22And then you adopted me.
00:41:25You gave me everything.
00:41:27Love,
00:41:28protection,
00:41:29a life.
00:41:32I owe you everything.
00:41:35So if...
00:41:37So if marrying
00:41:38the mayor's son
00:41:39will protect you,
00:41:41then I'll do it.
00:41:44Back off
00:41:49while you still can.
00:41:51If you hurt Grace
00:41:51or cross Miss Miller,
00:41:52you'll pay the price.
00:41:54Look at you,
00:41:55John.
00:41:55Completely entangled
00:41:56in this fraud spell.
00:41:58You know what's gonna happen
00:41:59today, John?
00:42:00Huh?
00:42:01The real Miss Miller
00:42:02is returning
00:42:03to Phoenix Group.
00:42:04When Alexander finds out
00:42:06you're helping
00:42:07some imposter,
00:42:09you're finished.
00:42:10Miss Miller's returning
00:42:12to Phoenix Group today?
00:42:14With your boyfriend
00:42:15being Mr. Miller's assistant,
00:42:17surely you'll meet
00:42:18Miss Miller.
00:42:20Oh,
00:42:20please,
00:42:21let me come with you.
00:42:23I'd do anything
00:42:24to see Miss Miller.
00:42:26Miss Miller
00:42:27is a very private person.
00:42:29Most employees
00:42:29haven't even seen her.
00:42:32Well,
00:42:32I guess I could
00:42:33let you see her
00:42:34from a distance.
00:42:34Now then,
00:42:38time to deal
00:42:38with our
00:42:39little problem.
00:42:42Can't have these
00:42:42frauds
00:42:43causing trouble
00:42:44on such an important day.
00:42:48You fool!
00:42:49This woman
00:42:50is the real
00:42:51CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:42:52Mr. Miller
00:42:53sent me her photo.
00:42:54It's right here.
00:42:58It's right here.
00:43:03A photo?
00:43:04That can't prove anything.
00:43:05Anyone could fake
00:43:06that using AI.
00:43:07With AI these days,
00:43:09you can make
00:43:09any photo you want.
00:43:11You can't fool us.
00:43:12Look at her.
00:43:14She's just a pathetic
00:43:15nothing.
00:43:16Faking photos
00:43:17to play CEO?
00:43:18God,
00:43:19I've never seen
00:43:20anyone so desperate.
00:43:21What happened
00:43:22to all that talk
00:43:22about honesty
00:43:23and respect
00:43:24as we grew up,
00:43:26Mom?
00:43:26Or does that not apply
00:43:27to an old hag
00:43:28like you?
00:43:29You are
00:43:30good looking
00:43:31for your age.
00:43:33No wonder
00:43:34you've got
00:43:34John wrapped
00:43:35around your finger,
00:43:37you witch.
00:43:37Shut your damn mouth.
00:43:39Stay away from her,
00:43:40you monster.
00:43:44Good thing
00:43:45we've got some time
00:43:46on our hands anyway.
00:43:47And broke?
00:43:49Single moms
00:43:50are my favorite
00:43:50kind of...
00:43:51a feisty one,
00:43:55huh?
00:43:56Just the way I like it.
00:44:11Are you sure
00:44:12this is the right location?
00:44:14The coordinates
00:44:14let us here, sir.
00:44:15The mayor will know
00:44:16where she is.
00:44:16This is perfect.
00:44:19The mayor is about
00:44:20to see his future
00:44:20son-in-law
00:44:21working right beside
00:44:22the great
00:44:23Alexander Miller.
00:44:24This couldn't be better.
00:44:25Well then,
00:44:25what are we waiting for?
00:44:27Let's go find the mayor.
00:44:28Yes, sir.
00:44:35Um,
00:44:35this is private property,
00:44:37you can't just...
00:44:38That is Alexander Miller
00:44:39of the Phoenix Group
00:44:39that you're speaking to.
00:44:42Where is the mayor?
00:44:43I need him
00:44:44to find my mother.
00:44:44Alexander Miller?
00:44:48It is an honor
00:44:49to meet you.
00:44:50We did not expect you
00:44:51to show up
00:44:51at this wedding celebration.
00:44:53Wait a second.
00:44:54The wedding?
00:44:56Yes,
00:44:56the mayor's son
00:44:57is getting married.
00:44:58We didn't realize
00:44:59someone with your VIP status
00:45:00would be here.
00:45:02I didn't realize
00:45:03the mayor had
00:45:03such great connection.
00:45:04Right?
00:45:05Ugh,
00:45:06that old woman
00:45:07will now regret
00:45:08not marrying her daughter
00:45:09into the mayor's family.
00:45:11Can you believe that?
00:45:12That dead,
00:45:13broke vegetable
00:45:14she acts on?
00:45:14high and mighty,
00:45:16but you know what?
00:45:17That girl's not even
00:45:18really her daughter.
00:45:19She's adopted.
00:45:21That woman.
00:45:23Is she a single mother
00:45:24to three orphans?
00:45:26That's her,
00:45:27all right.
00:45:27But don't worry,
00:45:28sir, okay?
00:45:29The mayor has this town
00:45:30under control,
00:45:31and you know what?
00:45:32He's gonna teach
00:45:33that old hat.
00:45:34What did you just call her?
00:45:37That woman you just insulted
00:45:40is my mother,
00:45:42the CEO of the Phoenix Group.
00:45:45The CEO of the Phoenix Group?
00:45:47That can't be.
00:45:50Pick that piece of shit up
00:45:51and have him take us
00:45:52to my mother.
00:45:53Yes, sir.
00:45:53You will regret every word
00:46:00that you said
00:46:00about the Miller family.
00:46:02Once Miss Miller
00:46:03comes back,
00:46:04her daughter Grace
00:46:04will be a part
00:46:05of the Phoenix family.
00:46:07If you think
00:46:08the mayor's son
00:46:09can marry
00:46:09some of her stature,
00:46:11you're delusional.
00:46:12I want to meet
00:46:14this mayor myself.
00:46:15The audacity
00:46:16to treat Miss Miller
00:46:17and her daughter like this?
00:46:21Oh, I need to warn the mayor.
00:46:26Just the way I like it.
00:46:29How dare you talk
00:46:30to Miss Miller like that?
00:46:32Ah!
00:46:36Joe, is she wants
00:46:37a real man now, John?
00:46:39By the time I'm done with her,
00:46:40she won't be moving
00:46:41that wheelchair anymore.
00:46:42Your problem
00:46:43is with me.
00:46:44Sterling Corp
00:46:45protects her on
00:46:45and we will die
00:46:46defending our boss.
00:46:51Must be giving John
00:46:52something real special.
00:46:54Why else would he risk
00:46:55everything with Phoenix
00:46:56to back up
00:46:56your pathetic lives?
00:46:58You won't live
00:46:59to see another day.
00:47:01Then I better
00:47:01make the most of now.
00:47:06Please, stop!
00:47:08Everyone, stop!
00:47:09What is it?
00:47:13Can't you see
00:47:13we're busy?
00:47:14That woman
00:47:15you're threatening
00:47:15she...
00:47:16she...
00:47:16That woman
00:47:19you're threatening
00:47:19she...
00:47:20she...
00:47:21she's nothing
00:47:22but an old widow.
00:47:25This is our town.
00:47:26We know what we're
00:47:26doing.
00:47:27Right.
00:47:27Especially with
00:47:28Alexander's people
00:47:29on our side.
00:47:31The sky could fall
00:47:32right now
00:47:32and I'm still
00:47:33going to have
00:47:33my fun with you.
00:47:34Yeah?
00:47:36Well, when it falls
00:47:37you'll be the first
00:47:39one to crumble.
00:47:40This
00:47:40is Phoenix Group's turf
00:47:42and I'm Sean Parker's
00:47:43right-hand man.
00:47:44Your precious boss
00:47:46should be on your knees
00:47:46before me.
00:47:47Just because you're
00:47:48some assistant's
00:47:49lap dog
00:47:50it doesn't mean
00:47:51you're untouchable.
00:47:53Why don't you just
00:47:53make the call
00:47:54then we'll see
00:47:56how untouchable
00:47:57you really are.
00:47:58What's wrong?
00:48:00Are you getting nervous?
00:48:01Who could she
00:48:02possibly call?
00:48:03It's not like
00:48:04she has Alexander
00:48:04on speed dial.
00:48:08Let her make the call.
00:48:10I want to see
00:48:11who this pathetic
00:48:12widow runs to
00:48:13for help.
00:48:14Go ahead.
00:48:15Show us these
00:48:16powerful connections
00:48:16of yours.
00:48:18Stop!
00:48:19Don't let her
00:48:20make the call!
00:48:23Stop!
00:48:23Don't let her

00:48:31phone call?
00:48:32That's Mike
00:48:33from Phoenix Group.
00:48:35No one in the city
00:48:36dares cross him.
00:48:38But, but, but she's...
00:48:40But, but, but...

00:48:43What, do you think
00:48:44this nobody's gonna call
00:48:45the Alexander Miller?
00:48:47Not another word.
00:48:48You're wasting our time.
00:48:50I need to get ready
00:48:51to meet the real
00:48:52Miss Miller later
00:48:52when she returns
00:48:53to the company.
00:48:54Brittany's right.
00:48:55We're about to welcome back
00:48:57the great Miss Miller.
00:48:59Nothing's changing that.

00:49:01give you a chance.

00:50:39Yes, sir.
00:50:40Yes, sir.
00:50:43You really
00:50:44had me fooled
00:50:44for a second there.
00:50:45I thought your friend
00:50:46was someone important.
00:50:48Turns out,
00:50:48he's just a coward.
00:50:50Couldn't even speak
00:50:50when he heard my voice.
00:50:51Couldn't say a word.
00:50:54Pathetic.
00:50:54Mike scared him
00:50:55speechless.
00:50:55Not so tough now,
00:50:58are you?
00:50:59You were, uh,
00:51:00clever.
00:51:02I'll give you that.
00:51:05I don't know
00:51:06how you managed
00:51:06to tell that friend
00:51:07of yours my name,
00:51:08but, uh,
00:51:10who cares?
00:51:11He's a spineless coward
00:51:13who can't even talk
00:51:14to me,
00:51:15let alone touch me.
00:51:16Stay away from her.
00:51:24Ow!
00:51:25That's right.
00:51:34Keep your lesson.
00:51:48Don't be fun.
00:51:50You make me sick!
00:51:51It came from over there.
00:52:04Let's go!
00:52:09The mayor's family
00:52:10is finished.
00:52:11Jane,
00:52:21should have been
00:52:22a kill shot.
00:52:25You just burnt
00:52:27your last bridge.
00:52:28You will regret this.
00:52:30I'm just punishing
00:52:31a couple troublemakers.
00:52:33Is that a crime?
00:52:34Now,
00:52:37it's just you and me.
00:52:39Don't worry.
00:52:40I can treat you
00:52:41better than John ever could.
00:52:42Do you have another nightmare?
00:52:58Yeah.
00:52:59I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:53:01You know I will always
00:53:03be here to protect you, right?
00:53:05I'm so sorry.
00:53:09You have to go through that.
00:53:12Mom,
00:53:13this time,
00:53:15I'll protect you.
00:53:23Mom.
00:53:23Mom.
00:53:25It's your thought
00:53:25that we're in this mess.
00:53:27Just marry my brother
00:53:28like a good little girl
00:53:30and we'll let
00:53:30your mother go.
00:53:32Yeah,
00:53:32we offered you
00:53:33a better life
00:53:34and this is
00:53:35how you repay us.
00:53:36Some people
00:53:37just need their gratitude
00:53:38beaten into them.
00:53:41Please,
00:53:41I'm begging you.
00:53:42Don't hurt my mom.
00:53:44Let her go
00:53:44and I'll marry Gregory,
00:53:46I swear.
00:53:48Well,
00:53:48that's better.
00:53:51Ew.
00:53:52Ugh.
00:53:57You've had your fun.
00:54:02Wrap it up.
00:54:04Such a shame,
00:54:05hmm?
00:54:06I was just getting started.
00:54:07When I'm done with you,
00:54:09you're gonna regret
00:54:10you were ever born.
00:54:12Still making threats?
00:54:14An old hag like you
00:54:15should be grateful
00:54:16I even want to touch you.
00:54:17If Brittany
00:54:18hadn't interrupted,
00:54:21we'd be having
00:54:23some real fun right now.
00:54:25Having fun with who?
00:54:27Who is he?
00:54:45That's some entrance.
00:54:47Look at those clothes.
00:54:48Must be connected
00:54:49to the mayor.
00:54:52Oh, my sweetheart.
00:54:57Mom.
00:55:05Is...
00:55:05Is that really
00:55:07Miss Miller?
00:55:08You're not quite
00:55:09the entourage, baby.
00:55:11All this backup,
00:55:12just your little old me.
00:55:14Brittany,
00:55:14you don't understand.
00:55:16This is, um...
00:55:17Alexander Miller.
00:55:18I didn't think
00:55:19you'd come here yourself.
00:55:20Alexander who?
00:55:21Alexander Miller?
00:55:24That's Alexander Miller?
00:55:26Miss Miller's son?
00:55:32Shit.
00:55:33That's Alexander Miller?
00:55:35He's even dreamier in person.
00:55:38Sir, that woman is...
00:55:40is delusional.
00:55:41She claims she's your mother,
00:55:43the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:55:44Sir, it's my son's wedding today.
00:55:47We would be honored
00:55:48if you could attend
00:55:49the reception
00:55:50after you meet
00:55:52with the real Miss Miller.
00:55:53It's an honor
00:55:54to meet you, sir.
00:55:55I'm Sean's girlfriend,
00:55:57the mayor's daughter.
00:55:58You can call me Brittany.
00:56:00If you need anything
00:56:01in this town,
00:56:02my family's at your service.
00:56:05Ah!
00:56:06Brittany, shut up.
00:56:08What?
00:56:08It's not every day
00:56:09you meet
00:56:10the Alexander Miller.
00:56:12Also, think about it.
00:56:14If Miss Miller
00:56:15comes to my brother's
00:56:16wedding party, too,
00:56:17we'll be the talk
00:56:18of the town.
00:56:19If you want to invite
00:56:20my mother to your party,
00:56:22why don't you ask her yourself?
00:56:23Oh, what a brilliant idea.
00:56:25If you would be so kind
00:56:26as to lead us to it.
00:56:28There's no need for that.
00:56:30My mother is here
00:56:31right now.
00:56:33Where is she?
00:56:42Sir,
00:56:43are you playing
00:56:45some kind of trick on us?
00:56:46I don't see Miss Miller
00:56:47anywhere.
00:56:48I would certainly recognize her
00:56:50if she was in my town.
00:56:51Well, of course he would.
00:56:53Nothing happens here
00:56:54without the mayor
00:56:54knowing about it.
00:56:56Are you suggesting
00:56:57I wouldn't recognize
00:56:58my own mother?
00:56:58If what you're saying
00:57:03is true,
00:57:04when did she come
00:57:05to our town?
00:57:06Fifteen years ago.
00:57:07My mother came here
00:57:08to live in seclusion
00:57:09after she stepped down
00:57:11as the Phoenix CEO.
00:57:14Fifteen years ago?
00:57:16That's not possible.
00:57:24I'm so sorry
00:57:25it took so long, Mother.
00:57:28Come here, my son.
00:57:32You've gotten so old.
00:57:35I missed you.
00:57:38You're a beautiful man now.
00:57:48Phoenix Bill's CEO?
00:57:50Impossible.
00:57:56She's really Miss Miller?
00:57:58Phoenix Bill's CEO?
00:58:01There has to be some mistake.
00:58:03She's nothing
00:58:04but a filthy woman
00:58:05who works for the orphanage.
00:58:07That fucker could not possibly
00:58:08be the real Miss Miller.
00:58:13Miss Miller,
00:58:14please excuse my girlfriend's
00:58:17disgraceful behavior.
00:58:20I take full responsibility.
00:58:22Punish me as you see fit.
00:58:23Our adoptive mother
00:58:25is the famous Miss Miller?
00:58:26What have we done?
00:58:34A moment, Mother.
00:58:36Are you Grace?
00:58:40Take care, Mother.
00:58:43Let me handle this.
00:58:47Now it's time for you all
00:58:48to explain yourselves.
00:58:57This is all a misunderstanding.
00:59:03Apologize to my mother.
00:59:05Now!
00:59:09Miss Miller,
00:59:10I beg of you.
00:59:11I'm sorry.
00:59:12I'm so, so sorry.
00:59:13You're only apologizing now
00:59:15because you know who I am.
00:59:17As I said,
00:59:19you would regret being born.
00:59:21Guards,
00:59:22get him out of my sight.
00:59:24Make sure I never see his face
00:59:25in the city again.
00:59:30Sean,
00:59:30if that's the real Miss Miller,
00:59:32then who did you invite
00:59:33to my birthday dinner?
00:59:35Tell her.
00:59:36Tell her she's never really met me.
00:59:38Tell her that I'm the real
00:59:39CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:59:49You thought you actually
00:59:50deserved to see the real
00:59:51Miss Miller?
00:59:52It was just some employee
00:59:53that I paid to pretend.
00:59:54I didn't think you'd be stupid
00:59:56enough to not notice.
00:59:57And now,
00:59:58look at the trouble you've caused.
01:00:03Miss Miller,
01:00:03this worthless girl
01:00:05has caused nothing but trouble.
01:00:07I'll kill her myself
01:00:07if you'll forgive me.
01:00:09Someone like you
01:00:10doesn't even deserve
01:00:12to work at the Phoenix Group.
01:00:14Remove him.
01:00:19Miss Miller,
01:00:21we were wrong.
01:00:24We'll never do anything
01:00:25like this again.
01:00:27Please,
01:00:28have mercy.
01:00:29Forgive us
01:00:30just this once.
01:00:32You all tortured people.
01:00:33for years.
01:00:36If I was to forgive you,
01:00:37you would go on
01:00:38and continue to hurt
01:00:40innocent people.
01:00:41Take them away.
01:00:42Deal with them accordingly.
01:00:44Make them away!
01:00:46Wait, what?
01:00:46No, I...
01:00:48Where do you think
01:00:55you're going?
01:00:56I am not done
01:00:57with you two.
01:01:01What are you planning
01:01:02on doing with these two?
01:01:04You two wanted this house
01:01:05so badly.
01:01:07Burn it down.
01:01:08You don't deserve it.
01:01:10You heard my mother.
01:01:11Burn it down.
01:01:12Now!
01:01:12Yes, sir.
01:01:13Yes, sir.
01:01:13Oh, my God.
01:01:22No.
01:01:23I don't deserve it.
01:01:24I don't deserve it.
01:01:26Oh, my God.
01:01:26No.
01:01:27Okay.
01:01:27Oh, my God.
01:01:28No.
01:01:28No.
01:01:29No.
01:01:31No.
01:01:32No.
01:01:36No.
01:01:36Mother.
01:01:43Mother, please.
01:01:44For your children, Anna.
01:01:56All these years in seclusion, I gave you everything, and yet all you wanted was for me to die?
01:02:03You've really shown your true colors.
01:02:07And you know what? Now you never have to call me Mother again.
01:02:17And you?
01:02:18You're not off the hook. I'll deal with you later.
01:02:23Yes, Miss Mother.
01:02:29My dear, somebody very special I want to introduce you to.
01:02:34Grace, this is my son, Alexander.
01:02:37It's an honor to meet you, sir.
01:02:39Please, you're my sister now. There's no need for formalities.
01:02:44Mother, I've arranged a welcome banquet for you at the Cloud Peak Restaurant.
01:02:47Well, what better occasion to introduce my daughter to the whole world, the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:02:57It's a historical day for the Phoenix Group.
01:03:05The city must know.
01:03:07Our CEO is back.
01:03:09I'll send out the invitations.
01:03:17Is that your boyfriend? The one that was studying abroad?
01:03:21Yes. He promised me when he came back home that he would propose to me.
01:03:27I'm expecting him to pop the question any time now.
01:03:31That's wonderful.
01:03:33Take the call, but why don't you also invite him to the banquet tonight, okay?
01:03:36Hi.
01:03:42Bob Peak Restaurant.
01:03:44Yeah, I can meet you there.
01:03:48There's, um, actually something important I need to tell you.
01:03:51Oh, my God.
01:04:17Oh, my God.
01:04:20Who's that beautiful young woman?
01:04:26She must be someone important to be at Phoenix Group's banquet tonight.
01:04:34Nathan!
01:04:42Victoria?
01:04:44Long time no see, bestie.
01:04:50Well, what's going on here?
01:04:53What does it look like?
01:04:56Best friend and I are together now.
01:05:00But you promised me you'd give me a ring when you came back.
01:05:05Oh, he did get a ring.
01:05:06Just not for you, loser.
01:05:12Shocked to see our son engaged to someone worthy of him.
01:05:16A proper match.
01:05:17At last.
01:05:19Unlike you and your useless poor mother who can't possibly help him in his career.
01:05:25That's right.
01:05:26My mother's a secretary at Phoenix Group.
01:05:29And she got Nathan the regional manager position at the company.
01:05:32Things change when you have the right connections.
01:05:36Isn't that right, sweetie?
01:05:39So?
01:05:39So that's why you chose my best friend over me?
01:05:42How could you both do this to me?
01:05:45Shut your mouth.
01:05:49Oh, honey.
01:05:51Save yourself the humiliation and leave.
01:05:54You don't belong here.
01:05:56Everything's set.
01:06:06City's most powerful leader here to meet Grace.
01:06:23Grace deserves this moment.
01:06:26After tonight, everyone will know that she's the heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:06:36Wait, what?
01:06:38Someone's causing trouble to my sister.
01:06:42Did you honestly think you could compete with me?
01:06:46You're just the daughter of some poor, crazy woman who can't even walk.
01:06:52And that dress.
01:06:54What'd you do?
01:06:55Steal it?
01:06:56Trash like you could never afford a dress like that.
01:06:59You probably borrowed it to pretend she's not poor.
01:07:02Just like her mother.
01:07:03Pretending to be someone she's not.
01:07:05Let me return it to whatever store you stole it from.
01:07:16Mom.
01:07:16Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:07:27Your mother will always protect you now, okay?
01:07:31How dare you throw wine on my future daughter-in-law.
01:07:42How disgusting.
01:07:44This is why poor people like her have no business at events like this.
01:07:48And who might you be?
01:07:49I'm Nathan's father, Bill Carter.
01:07:52And I am his mother, Helen.
01:07:55So your son is the young man that my daughter was interested in?
01:08:01Just as I suspect.
01:08:04He's not worthy of my daughter.
01:08:06Who are you to talk down to my son like that?
01:08:09Our son is the perfect match any girl could hope for.
01:08:14Oh, really?
01:08:15Really?
01:08:15The three heirs of the largest corporation?
01:08:28Only Phoenix Group is above them.
01:08:30What are they doing here?
01:08:35I'm James Bryant from the Sterling International Group.
01:08:38It's an honor to meet you, Grace.
01:08:41Grace, would you be honored to meet me at the dinner bar sometimes?
01:08:44I would love to take a travel with me when you can.
01:08:47My schedule is completely open.
01:08:50I, sweetheart, don't be afraid.
01:08:54You really do deserve someone better.
01:08:57Grace, these are some of the finest young men in the city.
01:09:01And if none of them are to your desire,
01:09:03they're CEOs, they're entrepreneurs, and they're architects.
01:09:06You're going to meet you.
01:09:08What's going on?
01:09:10Why are all these rich men surrounding trash like you?
01:09:13You pathetic whore!
01:09:15Since when do you know people with real money?
01:09:18You manipulative little slut!
01:09:21What other secrets are you hiding?
01:09:24You think you're good enough to touch my sister?
01:09:27Did you just say, sister?
01:09:34I thought you said she was an orphan.
01:09:38How can she be Alexander's sister?
01:09:42Alexander, surely there's been some sort of mistake.
01:09:46And who exactly do you think you are to question me?
01:09:48Alexander, you must be confused.
01:09:53Grace is nothing but a worthless orphan.
01:09:57It's true.
01:09:58She's nothing but trash.
01:10:02She's garbage.
01:10:04Nothing but garbage.
01:10:05She's garbage.
01:10:05Who?
01:10:13Who are you?
01:10:18Since you're so desperate to find out who my daughter is,
01:10:22you, you'll find out soon enough.
01:10:25And you!
01:10:27You will see exactly what you threw away.
01:10:30Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the CEO of Phoenix Group,
01:10:37Ms. Miller!
01:10:38Ms. Miller!
01:11:00She, she, she, she can't be!
01:11:04Is it really?
01:11:06The CEO of Phoenix Group?
01:11:14Thank you all for coming this evening.
01:11:17During my absence, I worked the hardest, most low-paying job.
01:11:22I wanted to understand the struggle of the less fortunate.
01:11:26And what I ended up finding was something unexpected.
01:11:29I found a daughter with a heart of gold.
01:11:34Tonight, I'm proud to introduce the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:11:40You worthless bitch.
01:11:42This is all your fault.
01:11:44You made me betray Grace.
01:11:47Don't blame me because you threw away someone important.
01:11:52Grace, please.
01:11:54I never cared about her.
01:11:55I always loved you.
01:11:57Just give me another chance.
01:11:58I'll prove myself worthy.
01:12:02Alexander.
01:12:08Your sister is both kind and wise.
01:12:11You need to trust that she'll do the right thing.
01:12:17Grace, Victoria deceived us all.
01:12:20Our son truly cares for you.
01:12:22Give him one more chance.
01:12:23Yes, Grace.
01:12:25Grace, you and Nathan have history.
01:12:27If you become our daughter-in-law, we'll treat you like our own.
01:12:31When you thought my mom and I were nothing, you treated us like dirt.
01:12:35And then you stood by and watched while Nathan betrayed me and humiliated my mother.
01:12:42Grace, I was wrong.
01:12:44I mean, even my parents see you now.
01:12:46It will never, ever happen again.
01:12:48I swear.
01:12:50You're only sorry because of who I am now.
01:12:53Yes, I once had feelings for you.
01:12:55But that's over.
01:12:58I never want to see you again.
01:13:05You think you're above me now?
01:13:09Pay me 100 million dollars or else everyone finds out how you really became the Phoenix Gruberus.
01:13:17By sleeping with your own adoptive brother.
01:13:25How dare you?
01:13:26That's a lie.
01:13:28Truth doesn't matter.
01:13:30My mother is a PR manager at Phoenix Group.
01:13:32She can forge all the proof we need.
01:13:35The press will eat it up.
01:13:37And I'll back every word of it.
01:13:39After all, I am regional manager at Phoenix Group.
01:13:44Just pay us the money.
01:13:45The Phoenix Group has the money.
01:13:47Or watch your reputation crumble.
01:13:50Is your mother's name Sarah Bell?
01:13:53She's the PR manager for Phoenix Group, right?
01:13:56So what old hag?
01:13:59Oh, wow.
01:14:00She clearly didn't know how to teach you manners.
01:14:04So I guess she's fired.
01:14:07What?
01:14:09You can't do that!
01:14:10You and your two families can take your stuff and get out of the city.
01:14:15You're going to have a very hard time finding any work here.
01:14:21Please have mercy on my son.
01:14:24He's a foolish boy.
01:14:26He doesn't know what he's doing.
01:14:29Take them away.
01:14:29I do not want to see them in the city again.
01:14:35Yes, Miss Miller.
01:14:38Wait.
01:14:39No, no, don't touch me!
01:14:41Breeze!
01:14:41Wait!
01:14:41Breeze!
01:14:42I don't know what...
01:14:43Breeze!
01:14:44Sweetheart, don't let his cruelty spoil this evening.
01:14:52This moment, it is yours.
01:14:55They can't hurt me anymore, Mom.
01:14:57Not with you by my side.
01:14:59My sweet daughter.
01:15:02You...
01:15:03You stuck by me when I was sick.
01:15:06And I almost died.
01:15:07And you never gave up on me.
01:15:10And you gave me hope and strength.
01:15:13You gave me so much more.
01:15:16You gave me love when I thought I would never know what that would feel like.
01:15:19And you rescued me and you gave me a family.
01:15:21Tonight, I want everyone to see who you really are.
01:15:31You're kind, compassionate, brilliant, unbreakable.
01:15:36And I mean no one will ever speak down to you again.
01:15:41I don't need the world's approval, Mom.
01:15:43I have everything I could ever want right here.
01:15:47My sweet daughter.
01:15:51Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make.
01:15:59Not only will my mother be coming back.
01:16:01As the CEO, I'm proud to announce as well.
01:16:05But my sister, Grace, will be joining our team at the Phoenix Group.
01:16:11As the youngest billionaire heirs.
01:16:15Yes.
01:16:15Yes.
01:16:15A praise to a good family.
