00:00:00Good morning, Mr. Shaw.
00:00:12Where is Stella?
00:00:14Mr. Shaw!
00:00:22Where did you go?
00:00:23Unauthorized absence from duty is a major violation.
00:00:26I...
00:00:28I have to make sure it's perfect, so the clients will sign the contract.
00:00:50That's done.
00:00:51Staying up all night was worth it.
00:00:54My period came early from staying up late.
00:01:00I ran out of pads.
00:01:01I have to go buy some.
00:01:02It's 9.15 a.m.
00:01:09Roll call.
00:01:10Mr. Shaw.
00:01:24Everyone was present for the roll call just now, except...
00:01:29Stella.
00:01:31Jacob, I stayed up all night working, and my period started this morning.
00:01:36I was out buying pads.
00:01:38During the roll call, I was gone less than 10 minutes.
00:01:41What you went out to buy is not an excuse.
00:01:47When it comes to company rules, everyone is treated the same.
00:01:50Even though you're my fiancé, as the company CEO, I can't break the rules because of personal ties.
00:01:56Otherwise, what would the employees think of me?
00:01:59What are you going to do?
00:02:00You're fired.
00:02:13Ms. Kurt will handle your resignation.
00:02:15You're my fiancé, after all.
00:02:17Don't make this ugly.
00:02:18Jacob?
00:02:21You know how important this contract is.
00:02:24I stayed up all night, working on it.
00:02:28My period's been awful all morning.
00:02:29And now, just because I stepped out for 10 minutes to get pads?
00:02:34You want to fire me?
00:02:39This deal was closed by Wendy.
00:02:42You think stealing the credit will make me go easy on you?
00:02:46Wendy?
00:02:47No way.
00:02:49What did you say?
00:02:50I said, she's just a secretary.
00:02:53No way she can close a 200 million tech deal.
00:02:58Stella.
00:02:59I know you're angry, so you're saying these things to humiliate me.
00:03:06But I was only doing my job.
00:03:10I didn't purposefully report you for being absent.
00:03:13I did it for the company and Mr. Shaw.
00:03:15Besides, Stella, I know you usually don't care much about your appearance.
00:03:23But we're a cosmetics company, after all.
00:03:26As a company executive, you shouldn't be dressed this gruffly.
00:03:32Otherwise, clients might think we sell fake products.
00:03:36Since you know I'm company's executive, you should show the proper respect.
00:03:41This is insubordination.
00:03:42Did you complete your training?
00:03:44Mr. Shaw.
00:03:45I'm sorry.
00:03:47I was only thinking about the company image.
00:03:53Stella?
00:03:54Have you had enough?
00:03:56Must you be this arrogant?
00:03:58I already said it earlier.
00:03:59You're fired.
00:04:01You're no longer a company executive.
00:04:02As the CEO, I'm ordering you to apologize to Wendy for your rudeness.
00:04:09Apologize?
00:04:12To her?
00:04:15Jacob, you don't have to fire me.
00:04:18I resign.
00:04:39Mr. Clark's leaving?
00:04:41What is Mr. Shaw even thinking?
00:04:43Ms. Clark is so capable.
00:04:45She definitely closed that deal.
00:04:47How could he believe it was Ms. Clark's doing?
00:04:49Don't you agree that Ms. Clark is the backbone of this company?
00:04:53Now that she's gone, can the company even survive?
00:04:55All the projects I worked on are on my computer.
00:04:58Why should he get them?
00:04:59I'd rather throw them away than leave them here.
00:05:12Here, have a sip.
00:05:13Careful.
00:05:14My stomach hurts.
00:05:16I need you to rub it.
00:05:18Seriously.
00:05:19Since you're on your period, you should have rested at home.
00:05:22Why come to work?
00:05:23Are you feeling bad for me?
00:05:25What do you think, my princess?
00:05:28Two more days.
00:05:30And you can have me.
00:05:32Jacob, you really surprised me.
00:05:35Five years together, and in the end, I have to see you cheating with my own eyes.
00:05:39I want nothing to do with a scumbag like you.
00:05:41I want nothing to do with a scumbag like you.
00:05:42But, you'll regret this.
00:05:47Hello?
00:05:50Zach, I'll work for you and help make your company Bell Homes top this year.
00:05:54One condition.
00:05:56Does your company allow employees to buy pads on the clock?
00:06:02Stella, it has been years.
00:06:05Your stitches are funny.
00:06:07As long as you work for me, forget buying them on the clock.
00:06:10I can't even go buy them.
00:06:13For you, myself.
00:06:15Deal.
00:06:16You're serious.
00:06:17You're really coming.
00:06:19I'm not joking.
00:06:21Stella, you mean it.
00:06:24Others might not know you, but I do.
00:06:27You single-handedly built Shaw Corp for Jacob.
00:06:31You're giving up?
00:06:33Back then, I wanted to invest 400 million so you could start your own company.
00:06:37You refused and said that it would be betraying Jacob.
00:06:41Before I received his firing notice this morning, I really did think that way.
00:06:45But now, there's no need anymore.
00:06:48I heard that.
00:06:49You two were about to get married.
00:06:52What's going on now?
00:06:53You broke up?
00:06:56Then, Ms. Clark, can I get in the line?
00:06:59As you know, I've liked you for a long time.
00:07:02Mr. Lane, I'm not in the mood right now.
00:07:05I can't take jokes.
00:07:06Book me a plane ticket to your place.
00:07:08I'll start work tomorrow.
00:07:09All right.
00:07:10No problem.
00:07:11Leave it to me.
00:07:13Tell me what position or resources you want.
00:07:16Give me people and money.
00:07:18Don't worry about anything else.
00:07:19I'll pack tonight and head over.
00:07:30Sorry.
00:07:30The number you have dialed has been disconnected.
00:07:35That scumbag.
00:07:36He changes passwords as quickly as he changes women.
00:07:39It's really you.
00:08:09You.
00:08:13Hello?
00:08:14Stella?
00:08:15What is it?
00:08:17Nothing.
00:08:18Just needed confirmation.
00:08:19I'm not at the office right now.
00:08:21Are you at my place then?
00:08:25No.
00:08:27All right.
00:08:28Got it.
00:08:28Why would she call you?
00:08:32What else could it be?
00:08:34She was testing me.
00:08:36So what if she knows you're here?
00:08:38All these years, she has done everything I said and worn herself down.
00:08:44She's always afraid I would dump her.
00:08:47She wouldn't dare cause trouble.
00:08:49Over the years, she used your influence to get her management position and acting arrogantly.
00:08:56Too bad though.
00:09:00She's not anymore.
00:09:04Forget about her.
00:09:05Let's continue.
00:09:06Hello?
00:09:09Is this the smart lock company?
00:09:11I'm heading out of town.
00:09:12But my door lock is broken.
00:09:13It can't lock by itself.
00:09:15Can you lock it from your system?
00:09:20You changed the password to block me out.
00:09:22I can block the door and trap you inside.
00:09:24I hope you two enjoy your time in there.
00:09:40Stella.
00:09:41Have you lost your mind?
00:09:42Why did you suddenly lock the door?
00:09:44Wendy and I were...
00:09:46Were what?
00:09:47We were locked out all night.
00:09:51You're laughing?
00:09:52Stella.
00:09:53This kind of prank is not funny at all.
00:09:56I'm already exhausted from working overtime.
00:09:58Can you not be so childish?
00:10:00Of course.
00:10:01Serving your mistress at the office during the day...
00:10:03Then taking her home at night too?
00:10:05Even a working ox isn't as busy as you.
00:10:09It's no wonder you're tired.
00:10:10You stalked me?
00:10:12Stella.
00:10:12You're getting more and more ridiculous.
00:10:15All I did was fire you.
00:10:17I was just following company rules.
00:10:20Wendy is my secretary.
00:10:21I took her home for work.
00:10:23There's nothing between us.
00:10:26Why are you being so petty?
00:10:27Mr. Shaw, you sound so righteous.
00:10:29It's almost made me forget.
00:10:31There are cameras at home.
00:10:32What cameras?
00:10:36Hello?
00:10:37Hello?
00:10:41She actually hung up on me.
00:10:46Is she out of...
00:10:46You're more despicable than I imagined.
00:10:54Why did you install cameras at home?
00:10:57You'd better delete everything within half an hour.
00:10:59Then, come over and apologize to Wendy and me.
00:11:02Oh, my God.
00:11:12What's the hell?
00:11:12Oh, my God.
00:11:13This is my family.
00:11:13Yeah.
00:11:13Oh, my God.
00:11:14This is my family.
00:11:14See you.
00:11:15This is my family.
00:11:15Wow.
00:11:16Hello?
00:11:18Hello?
00:11:27Stella, it's me. Come to Amberg Hospital right now.
00:11:31Wendy and I were in a car accident.
00:11:33So, why are you calling me? I don't even want the car.
00:11:36Do you want me to collect your bodies?
00:11:39Sorry, I'm not interested.
00:11:40The car is registered under your name.
00:11:42You need to come over now. The traffic police are here.
00:11:44They'll find you if you refuse to cooperate.
00:11:46Sorry.
00:11:53Hello?
00:11:55Something came up. I need to handle it.
00:11:57Help me change my flight to a later one.
00:11:59Okay. Need any help?
00:12:01That's nothing serious.
00:12:05How is everything?
00:12:07I asked you to prepare.
00:12:08As you instructed, we've arranged a private office and a project team for Ms. Clark.
00:12:13A project team alone isn't enough.
00:12:15Transferred people from R&D and the marketing department as well.
00:12:19Mr. Zlay, this setup is basically the level used to receive a partner.
00:12:23There's too many people.
00:12:24Stella is not just a partner.
00:12:27She's my woman.
00:12:29I'll make sure she gets the best of everything.
00:12:32You're still alive?
00:12:40Where are the police?
00:12:44Stella, you're here.
00:12:49Stella, you're here.
00:12:51Where are the police?
00:12:52I came to explain the vehicle registration.
00:12:55Stella, listen to me.
00:12:57A black sedan caused a serious hit and run on West Loop.
00:13:02The victim remains in critical condition.
00:13:04Police are reviewing footage to track down the vehicle and urge the driver to surrender.
00:13:08So you didn't just hit someone.
00:13:10You ran.
00:13:11That's not true.
00:13:12We didn't hit anyone.
00:13:13He came out of nowhere.
00:13:15We didn't have time to break.
00:13:16So you did hit him.
00:13:18The police will decide if you're at fault.
00:13:21And if the victim was really at fault, then why did you run?
00:13:25Who said I ran?
00:13:26Wendy was driving at the time.
00:13:28She was so scared that her face paled.
00:13:30She couldn't even grip the wheel.
00:13:31I was worried she might faint, so I brought her here first.
00:13:35Besides, I needed some time to calm down and figure out how to handle this.
00:13:40How you handle it is your business.
00:13:42To avoid unnecessary trouble, I need to tell the traffic police that I'm not the driver.
00:13:50Stella, go tell them that you were the one driving.
00:13:56You want me to take the fall for her?
00:13:58You want me to take the fall for her?
00:14:03Don't make it sound so awful.
00:14:06I'm just asking you for a small favor.
00:14:08Sorry.
00:14:09That is one favor I can't do.
00:14:11You're my fiancé.
00:14:12If you can't help with something this minor, how am I supposed to marry you?
00:14:16Call off the engagement, then.
00:14:18Stella, think it through.
00:14:19I know marrying me is your dream.
00:14:21Miss Clark, right?
00:14:30A car registered to you was in an accident on West Loop.
00:14:33There is suspicion of a hit and run.
00:14:35Could you tell us if you were the one driving?
00:14:39Yes, it was her.
00:14:42I'm her fiancé.
00:14:43I was sitting in the passenger seat.
00:14:45Sorry, officer, for causing you trouble.
00:14:47I'll convince her to turn herself in.
00:14:51Jacob, you really surprised me.
00:14:57I know.
00:14:58We've had many misunderstandings lately.
00:15:01How about this?
00:15:02As long as you help Wendy with a small favor, I'll marry you once this is over.
00:15:07Deal?
00:15:10Jacob, I wonder how you can be this shameless.
00:15:15I'll never agree to such an outrageous demand.
00:15:18You'd better give up that idea.
00:15:21Stella.
00:15:23Stella.
00:15:24Stella.
00:15:24Stella.
00:15:24Stella.
00:15:24Stella.
00:15:25Stella.
00:15:25Stella.
00:15:25Stella.
00:15:26Stella.
00:15:27Stella.
00:15:27Stella.
00:15:31After the accident, I told her to turn herself in, but she said she didn't want to go to jail.
00:15:49She even said that.
00:15:52If the truth comes out, we can just compensate the family to settle the case.
00:15:57Note that down.
00:15:58We'll investigate later.
00:16:01So what if you have the money?
00:16:03Does that mean you can do whatever you want?
00:16:06My son is still lying in the ICU.
00:16:08I don't want a scent.
00:16:11I want to see her run in prison.
00:16:14Ma'am, please calm down.
00:16:17We'll get to the bottom of this.
00:16:18Stella, you're awake?
00:16:26I told them about your hit and run.
00:16:28You bitch!
00:16:30My son is in the ICU and you're sleeping here.
00:16:33Have you no shame?
00:16:35Stella, don't be scared.
00:16:38It's just a drug that keeps you from talking.
00:16:41Just take the blame and go to prison for a few years.
00:16:44When you get out, I'll give you the antidote.
00:16:48Stella didn't even have an office of her own at Shaw Corp.
00:16:52Now that she's working for me, I have to make it up to her and not let her suffer at all.
00:16:58Mr. Lane, this office is the best choice for Ms. Clark.
00:17:02It has a private bathroom and a private pantry.
00:17:05No matter what Ms. Clark wants to eat or drink, it's all very convenient.
00:17:09Well done.
00:17:10It's been half a day already.
00:17:15There's still no reply.
00:17:17This is not like Stella.
00:17:21Find out what happened to Stella.
00:17:24And book me a flight that leaves right now.
00:17:27Yes, sir.
00:17:29Stella, please be safe.
00:17:34Ms. Clark, this is the accident site footage from Mr. Shaw.
00:17:38You seem to be the driver.
00:17:40Do you have anything to say in your defense?
00:17:42It's fake.
00:17:44Fake.
00:17:44The car is yours.
00:17:46Your fiancé also said you were behind the wheel.
00:17:49Are you still denying it?
00:17:51Yeah.
00:17:51I've tried to convince her so many times, but she just wouldn't listen.
00:17:56I don't know what else to do, so I'm hoping the law will awaken her conscience.
00:18:00Please don't interrupt our talk with the suspect.
00:18:01Until the investigation is complete, she has the right to explain.
00:18:05All right.
00:18:07Too bad.
00:18:08She can't talk now.
00:18:11Jacob, you've repeatedly proven that.
00:18:15When it comes to being shameless, you're way ahead of everyone else.
00:18:19Take Stella back for further investigation.
00:18:21Mr. Lane, we've just received a report from our colleagues here.
00:18:29Everything has been investigated.
00:18:37Jacob really has some nerves.
00:18:39How dare he do this to Stella?
00:18:42Does he think he's untouchable?
00:18:44He's just asking for trouble.
00:18:51Go to the hospital.
00:18:53Yes, sir.
00:18:53You ruined my son's life!
00:18:56Run in hell!
00:18:58You bitch!
00:19:00Kill her!
00:19:01Calm down.
00:19:02Don't get worked up.
00:19:03Those societal failures should be jailed and never let out.
00:19:07Expose her online.
00:19:08Ruin her reputation.
00:19:10The driver is a woman?
00:19:12No wonder she's a rogue madness.
00:19:14Take a picture of her.
00:19:17Wait.
00:19:23She was not the driver.
00:19:38What is Zach Lane doing here?
00:19:42Stella, don't worry.
00:19:44From now on, I'll speak up for you.
00:19:48You're speaking up for her?
00:19:49Who are you to her?
00:19:52Professionally, I'm her boss.
00:19:54I have duty to protect my own employees.
00:19:56Personally,
00:19:57I'm pursuing her.
00:20:02So, I won't let anyone bully her.
00:20:05Stella,
00:20:06no wonder you dared to make a scene.
00:20:09Turns out you've got Mr. Lane backing you.
00:20:12That explains why you wanted to break off our engagement.
00:20:15You've already found a new guy.
00:20:18You're really something.
00:20:20Mr. Shaw, those are some words.
00:20:22Stella's an amateur next to you.
00:20:24You're the real pro.
00:20:26And playing both sides.
00:20:28Mr. Lane,
00:20:29isn't it a little rude to start throwing accusations?
00:20:31What?
00:20:32You don't have the guts to admit it.
00:20:34Pushing your fiancé as a scapegoat for your mistress.
00:20:37Mr. Shaw,
00:20:38your behavior is honestly a first for me.
00:20:42Cut the nonsense.
00:20:45Officer,
00:20:46on the day of the incident,
00:20:48Stella was resting at the hotel.
00:20:50I retrieved the hotel's surveillance footage.
00:20:52Stella has a solid alibi
00:20:55that proves her innocence.
00:20:56As for the dash cam,
00:20:59I consulted an AI expert for the analysis.
00:21:01The video was artificially generated.
00:21:03That's why it passed in a casual glance.
00:21:05What?
00:21:05The video is fake?
00:21:07She was framed?
00:21:09Then who was it that ran over my son?
00:21:17Jacob,
00:21:18isn't it irony the accuser
00:21:20knows just how innocent the other side is?
00:21:23Faking evidence to frame your fiancé?
00:21:25Are you even a man?
00:21:28I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:21:32Fine.
00:21:34Let me make it crystal clear.
00:21:37The real culprit
00:21:38wasn't Stella.
00:21:42But Jacob's affair partner,
00:21:44Wendy Kurt.
00:21:46What?
00:21:47It wasn't her?
00:21:47No way.
00:21:48Huh?
00:21:52This document needs to be sent
00:21:54to the Bureau for Authentication.
00:21:55Ms. Clark's alibi video
00:21:57also requires a professional analysis.
00:21:59At the same time,
00:22:00we need to run verification
00:22:00on the witnesses
00:22:01and the evidence.
00:22:03So,
00:22:03until the results are in,
00:22:05all relevant suspects
00:22:06are not allowed to leave.
00:22:07This includes Ms. Clark
00:22:08and Mr. Shaw.
00:22:09Officer,
00:22:10what do you mean by this?
00:22:12Isn't this case
00:22:13already concluded and settled?
00:22:14Stella was the culprit.
00:22:16No one else was involved.
00:22:17The evidence is inconclusive.
00:22:19Verifying the evidence
00:22:20is a necessary step.
00:22:21Please cooperate with us,
00:22:22Mr. Shaw.
00:22:23Please bring Wendy out.
00:22:26Officer,
00:22:27rest assured,
00:22:28we will cooperate
00:22:28with the investigation.
00:22:29It's just that
00:22:30Stella's throat is injured.
00:22:32I have a private doctor
00:22:33waiting in the car.
00:22:33Would it be okay
00:22:34if I take her to the treatment first?
00:22:36Do not leave the hospital grounds.
00:22:37Of course.
00:22:37What are you doing?
00:22:51Release me!
00:22:53What are you doing?
00:22:55I'm injured!
00:22:56Wendy,
00:22:56you're suspected of hit and run
00:22:57and are under investigation.
00:23:00Mr. Shaw,
00:23:00they're trying to arrest me.
00:23:02I didn't do anything.
00:23:03Mr. Shaw,
00:23:03please save me.
00:23:04Relax.
00:23:05It hasn't come to that yet.
00:23:06But they'll find out
00:23:08sooner or later.
00:23:09Mr. Shaw,
00:23:09I don't want to leave.
00:23:11I don't want to die.
00:23:12Mr. Shaw.
00:23:12Don't talk nonsense.
00:23:14Mom,
00:23:14I'm really scared,
00:23:16Mr. Shaw.
00:23:16I'll find a way
00:23:17to deal with this.
00:23:19Anything money can fix
00:23:20isn't a real problem.
00:23:22Find those two old farts
00:23:26and tell them
00:23:27they will get
00:23:28$10 million
00:23:29if they drop the appeal.
00:23:32Got it?
00:23:32Yes, Mr. Shaw.
00:23:33I'll go negotiate with them now.
00:23:36Excuse me.
00:23:37May I have a word?
00:23:43I think
00:23:43I'll get straight to the point.
00:23:45Mr. Shaw sent me.
00:23:47Given what happened,
00:23:48Mr. Shaw is willing
00:23:49to offer some compensation.
00:23:50I have $1 million
00:23:52in cash here,
00:23:54which you can take
00:23:54at first as compensation.
00:23:56As long as you drop
00:23:57the appeal
00:23:58and stop holding
00:23:59the driver responsible,
00:24:01we'll transfer
00:24:02another $10 million
00:24:03to your account
00:24:04by the end of today.
00:24:05What do you think?
00:24:08This medicine
00:24:09will counteract
00:24:10numbing agent
00:24:10in your throat.
00:24:11Thank you
00:24:25for today.
00:24:27I can't believe
00:24:28Jacob bullied you like that.
00:24:30He even had the nerve
00:24:30to free me
00:24:31for someone else's crime.
00:24:32But the truth
00:24:33is about to come out.
00:24:35One of them
00:24:36did a hit and run
00:24:37and the other
00:24:38fake evidence
00:24:39that buys him
00:24:40two years in prison.
00:24:41When will the bid results
00:24:42for the Balamb project
00:24:43be announced?
00:24:45Tomorrow.
00:24:46No rush.
00:24:47Let them go for today.
00:24:48We'll send them to prison
00:24:49after the bid results
00:24:51are out tomorrow.
00:24:53Why?
00:24:56Why?
00:24:57Jacob's the kind of guy
00:24:58who's arrogant
00:24:59to a fault.
00:25:01He's convinced
00:25:01Shaw Corp
00:25:02will win the bid.
00:25:03So he poured
00:25:04all the company's cash
00:25:05into this project.
00:25:07Which means
00:25:07the moment they lose the bid
00:25:09Corp's cash flow
00:25:10will collapse instantly.
00:25:12By then
00:25:12the company he built
00:25:14single-handedly
00:25:15will collapse overnight
00:25:16and declare bankruptcy.
00:25:19I get it now.
00:25:20You want him to taste
00:25:22what it's like
00:25:23to lose everything
00:25:24before sending him
00:25:26to prison.
00:25:27You want to
00:25:28break his spirit
00:25:29then prison his body.
00:25:32For some people
00:25:33imprisonment
00:25:34is too light
00:25:35a punishment.
00:25:36He needs to feel
00:25:37despair.
00:25:38That's the real end.
00:25:40Miss Clark,
00:25:41you sure are
00:25:42something else.
00:25:43When it comes
00:25:43to destroying people
00:25:44you're even more
00:25:45ruthless than I am.
00:25:50If I were ruthless
00:25:51how could I make up
00:25:53for what I've been through?
00:25:54Real revenge?
00:25:56It's never eye for an eye.
00:25:58It's paying back tenfold.
00:25:59Do you think money
00:26:00could buy a human life?
00:26:02That was my son!
00:26:03A living, breathing life!
00:26:06Not something
00:26:06you can pay off!
00:26:08Do you think
00:26:08we want money?
00:26:10My son had only one life!
00:26:13You think you can
00:26:14silence us with cash?
00:26:17Do you even have
00:26:18a conscience?
00:26:20Another death
00:26:21that takes this money!
00:26:23Get out!
00:26:24You think you can
00:26:25ban justice
00:26:25with your money?
00:26:27Huh?
00:26:28You think paying
00:26:28compensation
00:26:29will settle everything?
00:26:30Get out of my sight!
00:26:34Stop insulting!
00:26:36Get lost!
00:26:36Get lost!
00:26:37Mr. Shaw,
00:26:38they refused our offer.
00:26:40Then up the amount.
00:26:41Money makes the world
00:26:42go round.
00:26:43Double the compensation.
00:26:45Do I need to teach you?
00:26:45Understood.
00:26:46Alright,
00:26:47I'm on it.
00:26:48He thinks he can use money
00:26:49to cover this up.
00:26:51But it doesn't seem
00:26:52to be going well.
00:26:53The victim's family
00:26:53has some real backbone
00:26:55and refuses
00:26:56to be bought off.
00:27:00Two hours
00:27:01are almost up.
00:27:02If this keeps up,
00:27:04he'll be sent to prison.
00:27:06Then what about our plan?
00:27:07We will
00:27:08help him out.
00:27:14Sir, ma'am?
00:27:16Do you have a moment?
00:27:18What is it?
00:27:19Are you here
00:27:20to throw money
00:27:20at us too?
00:27:21Let me tell you this.
00:27:23Not a chance!
00:27:24That Shaw guy
00:27:25offered us
00:27:2650 million
00:27:26to silence us.
00:27:29What's your offer
00:27:30for my son's life?
00:27:33Ma'am,
00:27:33I'm not the killer.
00:27:35I have no reason
00:27:36to buy off the truth.
00:27:38You're right.
00:27:40I can see it clearly now.
00:27:43That Shaw guy
00:27:43is the one
00:27:44who knocked down my son.
00:27:46He's worried
00:27:47the evidence
00:27:48will lead straight to him.
00:27:49That's why he tried
00:27:51to silence us
00:27:52with money.
00:27:52As long as we don't appeal,
00:27:55he and that Wendy
00:27:56won't have to go to jail.
00:27:58People like him think
00:27:59money and power
00:28:01are a get-out-of-jail-free card.
00:28:03No matter what crime
00:28:04they commit,
00:28:04as long as they have money,
00:28:06they think they can
00:28:07get away with it.
00:28:08We will never
00:28:09take his money.
00:28:10What we want
00:28:11is justice!
00:28:12I completely agree with you.
00:28:14Justice matters
00:28:14more than money.
00:28:17But,
00:28:18I do have a suggestion.
00:28:20One that will make
00:28:21the culprit
00:28:21pay a much heavier price
00:28:23and suffer
00:28:23a harsher punishment.
00:28:25Would you like to hear it?
00:28:27Yeah, go ahead.
00:28:28Stella must have gone
00:28:36to convince those
00:28:37old farts
00:28:38not to accept
00:28:39my money.
00:28:40Mr. Shaw,
00:28:41what do we do now?
00:28:43Stella hates me
00:28:44to the core.
00:28:45She's definitely
00:28:46persuading them.
00:28:47Am I going to jail?
00:28:48No, we have.
00:28:49I'm finished.
00:28:50Don't worry.
00:28:50Mr. Shaw.
00:28:51There's still a way out.
00:28:52What do we do?
00:28:54It's alright.
00:28:55Calm down.
00:28:55Did you understand
00:29:00what I just explained?
00:29:01What you need to do
00:29:02is pretend to accept
00:29:03their money first.
00:29:04Make them think
00:29:05you've given in.
00:29:06Are you saying
00:29:07the Shaw guy
00:29:08is about to go bankrupt?
00:29:09I assure you
00:29:10by tomorrow.
00:29:12You two will see it
00:29:13on the news
00:29:14of the Shaw Corp's
00:29:15bankruptcy.
00:29:16File the appeal
00:29:17then have him
00:29:18put in jail.
00:29:19That way
00:29:20you hit him the hardest.
00:29:22Doesn't that feel right?
00:29:25The investigation
00:29:28results are out.
00:29:29It's true.
00:29:31The forensic analysis
00:29:32is now available.
00:29:33The dash cam footage
00:29:34has been retrieved
00:29:35and restored.
00:29:36The original footage
00:29:37shows that
00:29:38the driver
00:29:39wasn't Miss Clark
00:29:40but Wendy.
00:29:42As of now,
00:29:43Wendy is suspected
00:29:44of hit and run
00:29:45and Jacob
00:29:46of fabricating evidence.
00:29:47You two
00:29:47need to come with us
00:29:49for the investigation.
00:29:50Take them away.
00:29:51No, it wasn't me.
00:29:53I didn't do it
00:29:54on purpose.
00:29:55I don't want
00:29:56to go to jail.
00:29:57I don't want
00:29:57to go to jail.
00:29:58Mr. Shaw,
00:29:59you promised
00:30:00to fix this.
00:30:01Help me.
00:30:02Please help me.
00:30:03Stella,
00:30:04you were behind this.
00:30:05Don't think
00:30:06I don't know
00:30:06what you did.
00:30:07Just you wait.
00:30:09I won't let you off.
00:30:10I don't want
00:30:11to go to jail.
00:30:12I don't want
00:30:12to go to jail.
00:30:13Help me.
00:30:14Someone help me.
00:30:17Officer,
00:30:19we're dropping
00:30:19the appeal.
00:30:21Please let them go.
00:30:25victims, family.
00:30:27Are you sure
00:30:28about this?
00:30:29Yes.
00:30:30We've made
00:30:30our decision.
00:30:31We won't file
00:30:32an appeal.
00:30:33We'll accept
00:30:34their compensation
00:30:35and won't pursue
00:30:36liability anymore.
00:30:38Mr. Shaw,
00:30:39you'll honor
00:30:40the compensation.
00:30:41You promised us,
00:30:42right?
00:30:43I want you to promise
00:30:44it again
00:30:44in front of everybody.
00:30:46Of course.
00:30:47I,
00:30:48Jacob Shaw,
00:30:49will not break
00:30:50my word to you.
00:30:51I'll pay
00:30:52the compensation
00:30:53in full.
00:30:53Whatever amount
00:30:54you want,
00:30:54I'll give it to you.
00:30:55We can process
00:30:56the transfer right now.
00:30:58Since you've agreed
00:30:59to settle privately,
00:31:00I respect your decision.
00:31:02Release them.
00:31:02See that,
00:31:20Stella?
00:31:21You really thought
00:31:22you could talk them
00:31:23out of taking
00:31:24my money?
00:31:25How naive.
00:31:27Congratulations,
00:31:28Mr. Shaw.
00:31:30If he'd really
00:31:30been taken away today,
00:31:32you would have
00:31:32missed tomorrow's
00:31:33bid gala.
00:31:34You've been looking
00:31:35forward to it
00:31:36for so long.
00:31:37Stella,
00:31:38you think I don't
00:31:39know what you're
00:31:40scheming?
00:31:41You'd love for me
00:31:42not to show up.
00:31:43So you could swoop in
00:31:44and steal Shaw Corp's
00:31:45winning bid.
00:31:46Dream on.
00:31:47Too bad,
00:31:49you miscalculated.
00:31:50Yeah,
00:31:51I miscalculated.
00:31:53I honestly
00:31:54didn't expect
00:31:56money to be
00:31:57this powerful.
00:31:58Mr. Shaw,
00:31:59your resolve
00:31:59put me to shame.
00:32:00I'll show you
00:32:02at tomorrow's banquet
00:32:03who the real
00:32:05ruler of
00:32:06Belham is.
00:32:07Leaving me
00:32:07and Shaw Corp
00:32:08will be the biggest
00:32:09mistake you ever
00:32:11make in your life.
00:32:12I'll be there
00:32:13to witness
00:32:14your moment
00:32:14of glory.
00:32:17Let's go.
00:32:17when someone
00:32:24survives a close
00:32:25call,
00:32:26they tend to
00:32:26celebrate their luck.
00:32:27They never realize
00:32:28what truly awaits
00:32:29them
00:32:29as an even
00:32:31deeper abyss.
00:32:32Mr. Shaw,
00:32:41you've bagged
00:32:42the Belham project.
00:32:44Congrats in advance.
00:32:45Yeah,
00:32:45word's spreading.
00:32:46Shaw Corp is guaranteed
00:32:47to win the bid.
00:32:48The congratulatory
00:32:49gifts are prepared.
00:32:50Well played,
00:32:51Mr. Shaw.
00:32:51This is a
00:32:52beautiful win.
00:32:55I owe it
00:32:56to everyone's
00:32:56hard work
00:32:57at the company.
00:32:58Mr. Shaw,
00:32:59I'm impressed
00:33:00with Stella
00:33:01as the company's
00:33:02anchor.
00:33:03Winning a project
00:33:03like this
00:33:04should be a walk
00:33:05in the park.
00:33:05Stella's practically
00:33:06Shaw Corp's
00:33:09secret weapon.
00:33:09I heard Mr. Lane
00:33:10from Lane Corp
00:33:10has tried several
00:33:11times to recruit her
00:33:12but she turned him
00:33:13down every time.
00:33:14The company
00:33:14secured the project
00:33:15because me
00:33:16and Miss Kurt.
00:33:18What's it got
00:33:19to do with Stella?
00:33:20Huh?
00:33:21Besides,
00:33:22she's just
00:33:23a pretty face.
00:33:24She disregarded
00:33:25company rules
00:33:25and has already
00:33:26been fired by me.
00:33:29You...
00:33:32You mean
00:33:33you fired
00:33:34Stella Clark?
00:33:38You mean
00:33:39you fired
00:33:40Stella Clark?
00:33:42Yeah.
00:33:43Is there a problem?
00:33:45No,
00:33:45not at all.
00:33:48If there's one
00:33:49person I should
00:33:50thank the most
00:33:51for securing
00:33:51this project,
00:33:52it's my
00:33:53secretary,
00:33:53Ms. Kurt.
00:33:55Yes, yes.
00:33:56Mr. Shaw,
00:33:56you're right.
00:33:57Mrs. Kurt looks
00:33:58like someone
00:33:58who's meticulous
00:33:59and reliable.
00:34:00Mr. Shaw,
00:34:00you really have
00:34:01an eye for talent.
00:34:03Well then,
00:34:04Mr. Shaw,
00:34:05I'll get going.
00:34:10Go and find out
00:34:11where Stella is.
00:34:13No matter the cost,
00:34:14bring her
00:34:15into our company.
00:34:16Yes,
00:34:16double her annual
00:34:17salary
00:34:18if that's what it takes.
00:34:19Got it?
00:34:20Wendy,
00:34:23I already bought
00:34:24that limited edition
00:34:25bag you love.
00:34:26Once the bid results
00:34:27are announced,
00:34:28we'll go pick it up.
00:34:29Really?
00:34:30Thank you,
00:34:31Mr. Shaw.
00:34:32You're so good to me.
00:34:33From today on,
00:34:35Shaw Corp
00:34:36will completely
00:34:36cut ties
00:34:37with Stella.
00:34:38Everyone will know
00:34:40that Shaw Corp's
00:34:41success
00:34:41has always belonged
00:34:42to the two of us.
00:34:43Ladies and gentlemen,
00:34:49we're about to announce
00:34:50the final winning company
00:34:52of the Balan Project.
00:34:55Wendy,
00:34:56come up on stage
00:34:57with me.
00:34:59Mr. Shaw,
00:35:00later,
00:35:01I'll celebrate
00:35:02with you properly.
00:35:04You can do
00:35:05whatever you want
00:35:06to me.
00:35:07The winning company
00:35:08of the Balan Project
00:35:11is Lane Corp.
00:35:17Shouldn't the winning
00:35:41bid have gone
00:35:42to Shaw Corp?
00:35:43Why did it go
00:35:43to Lane Corp?
00:35:44Exactly.
00:35:45You must have
00:35:46made a mistake.
00:35:46It's Lane Corp
00:35:47where Stella is.
00:35:49See for yourself.
00:35:50It's written
00:35:51clearly here.
00:35:53Stella?
00:35:54Yes.
00:35:55The Balan Project
00:35:56was awarded
00:35:57to Stella personally.
00:35:58Since Stella
00:35:59left Shaw Group
00:35:59and joined Lane Group,
00:36:01the winning company
00:36:02is naturally Lane Group.
00:36:04We're one step
00:36:05too late.
00:36:07In the end,
00:36:08Stella still got
00:36:09recruited by Zack.
00:36:10Lane Corp
00:36:11snagged the biggest
00:36:12bid right after
00:36:12she joined.
00:36:13Stella is really
00:36:14the ace in the hole.
00:36:15Jacob has made
00:36:17a massive mistake.
00:36:19He actually kicked out
00:36:20the ace card
00:36:21he was holding.
00:36:22But that was
00:36:22one hell of a twist
00:36:25for the bid
00:36:25to flip tonight.
00:36:26Looks like Shaw Corp
00:36:27is about to crash.
00:36:30Mr. Shaw,
00:36:31do you think
00:36:32Stella is still
00:36:33holding a grudge
00:36:33over what happened
00:36:34before?
00:36:35Is that why
00:36:35she handed over
00:36:36the R&D results
00:36:37to Lane Corp
00:36:38and helped them
00:36:39win the bid?
00:36:39That was the
00:36:41entire company's
00:36:42work.
00:36:43My colleagues
00:36:44and I
00:36:44poured our hearts
00:36:45into it.
00:36:46How could
00:36:47Stella do this?
00:36:50Stella?
00:36:54Yes?
00:36:57Yes?
00:36:58Well, well.
00:37:00Stella,
00:37:01you're really
00:37:02something.
00:37:03Leaking company
00:37:04secrets to our rival?
00:37:06Aren't you afraid
00:37:07of going to jail
00:37:08for this?
00:37:08Someone's going
00:37:08to prison.
00:37:09But it won't be me.
00:37:11What?
00:37:12Yesterday's events
00:37:13didn't stop you?
00:37:15Wasn't it
00:37:16Mr. Shaw
00:37:17and Miss Kurt
00:37:18who did the
00:37:18hit and run
00:37:19on West Loop?
00:37:20Yeah.
00:37:21I heard the victim
00:37:22ended up in a coma.
00:37:23Oh my goodness.
00:37:25Mr. Shaw's got
00:37:26several losses
00:37:26against him now.
00:37:27Who knows?
00:37:28Any day now
00:37:29he could be headed
00:37:29to jail.
00:37:32Stella?
00:37:33Are you
00:37:34really planning
00:37:35to break things
00:37:36off of Mr. Shaw?
00:37:37Mr. Shaw used
00:37:38to be a mentor
00:37:39to you.
00:37:40How could you
00:37:41take the company's
00:37:42research
00:37:43and use them
00:37:44in a bid?
00:37:45I'm using
00:37:45my own research
00:37:46for the bid.
00:37:47What's it got
00:37:48to do with you?
00:37:49Stella,
00:37:50are you addicted
00:37:51to lying?
00:37:53I know.
00:37:54You've always
00:37:54had it out for Wendy.
00:37:56That's why
00:37:56you targeted her
00:37:57at work,
00:37:58singled her out,
00:37:59and even stole
00:37:59her credit.
00:38:01Fine.
00:38:01I can chalk
00:38:03that up to
00:38:03jealousy
00:38:03and let it
00:38:04slide.
00:38:06But this time,
00:38:07the Belham
00:38:07project is
00:38:08no small matter.
00:38:10It concerns
00:38:10the company's
00:38:11survival.
00:38:12If you return
00:38:12the bid documents
00:38:13now and admit
00:38:14your mistake,
00:38:15I might consider
00:38:16forgiving you.
00:38:17Otherwise,
00:38:19I'll call the police
00:38:20and have you
00:38:21charged
00:38:21with stealing
00:38:22company's
00:38:23secrets.
00:38:24Then go ahead
00:38:27and sue me.
00:38:31Then go ahead
00:38:32and sue me.
00:38:33However,
00:38:34and here are
00:38:35my research logs
00:38:36and patent
00:38:37documents.
00:38:38These documents
00:38:39can prove
00:38:39the Belham
00:38:40project was
00:38:41secured by me
00:38:42alone,
00:38:43with nothing
00:38:44to do with
00:38:44Shaw Corp.
00:38:46As far as I know,
00:38:48under intellectual
00:38:49property law,
00:38:50any independently
00:38:51developed formula
00:38:52completed while
00:38:53employed at a
00:38:54company belong
00:38:54entirely to the
00:38:55individual as long
00:38:56as no company
00:38:57resources are
00:38:57used.
00:38:58So basically,
00:38:59even if you do
00:39:00sue me,
00:39:01you'll only lose
00:39:01more badly.
00:39:03You must have
00:39:04falsified everything.
00:39:05What formula?
00:39:07You obviously
00:39:07copied it from us.
00:39:09Lay a hand on her
00:39:10again,
00:39:12and I'll have you
00:39:13out of this
00:39:13bed meeting.
00:39:17Oh well,
00:39:19Stella,
00:39:20you think you can
00:39:21turn things around
00:39:22with his support?
00:39:23Dream on!
00:39:25Mr. Shaw,
00:39:26I invest
00:39:27in talent,
00:39:28not nepotism.
00:39:31Sounds like
00:39:32you're just
00:39:32projecting your own
00:39:34faults here.
00:39:35Holy crap!
00:39:36What's going on?
00:39:38Two well-known
00:39:39CEOs in the industry
00:39:40are actually going
00:39:41at it face-to-face.
00:39:43I'm sure everyone
00:39:45is aware
00:39:46of Stella's capability
00:39:47in the industry,
00:39:48so there is no need
00:39:49for me to say
00:39:50anything anymore.
00:39:52Mr. Shaw,
00:39:52if you are fixated
00:39:54on losing hand,
00:39:56you'll miss
00:39:56the real winning card.
00:40:00Ladies and gentlemen,
00:40:01now it's time
00:40:02to congratulate
00:40:03Lane Corp
00:40:04on their win.
00:40:15Gone 10 minutes
00:40:16and you were fired.
00:40:18That's ridiculous.
00:40:20It's easy
00:40:21to make accusations.
00:40:23Once love is gone,
00:40:25nothing you do
00:40:25is right.
00:40:27So,
00:40:28are you really
00:40:29planning to end
00:40:30with Jacob?
00:40:32Not planning.
00:40:33I have to.
00:40:35But you worked together
00:40:36for 10 years
00:40:37and almost got married.
00:40:39Can you really
00:40:39walk away like that?
00:40:43If you spent a lot
00:40:44of money
00:40:45on a plane ticket
00:40:46and an hour
00:40:47before takeoff,
00:40:48you found out
00:40:49the plane
00:40:49would definitely crash,
00:40:51would you still
00:40:52get on it?
00:40:54No.
00:40:56I'm not a fool either.
00:41:00ever since
00:41:12Wendy joined
00:41:12the company,
00:41:14Jacob has been
00:41:14going out of his way
00:41:15to protect her.
00:41:16Whether it was
00:41:17my fault or not,
00:41:18all it took
00:41:19was one word
00:41:19from her
00:41:20and he'd blame
00:41:21me for everything.
00:41:22I worked non-stop
00:41:23for 24 hours
00:41:24and got fired
00:41:25for stepping out
00:41:26for 10 minutes.
00:41:27He even gave her
00:41:28credit for the project
00:41:29I finished.
00:41:31And you know what
00:41:32happened next?
00:41:34Don't mention him
00:41:35in front of me again.
00:41:36It pisses me off.
00:41:39Are you ordering me?
00:41:41Because I'm your boss now.
00:41:43Didn't you say
00:41:43you'd find a foreign
00:41:44specialist to fix my voice?
00:41:46Or do you actually
00:41:48enjoy hearing
00:41:49this hoarse sound
00:41:50all day?
00:41:51rest assured,
00:41:56I will cure
00:41:56your voice
00:41:58and help you
00:41:59get revenge.
00:42:02Whatever Jacob
00:42:02owes you,
00:42:04I'll make him
00:42:04pay it back
00:42:0510 times over.
00:42:11I just showed you
00:42:12the independent
00:42:13project team.
00:42:15What do you think?
00:42:16not bad.
00:42:18It's small,
00:42:19but everything's
00:42:20in place.
00:42:20What you saw
00:42:21just now
00:42:22wasn't all of it.
00:42:23I've got another
00:42:24surprise for you.
00:42:25Huh?
00:42:25Mr. Shaw.
00:42:34Mr. Shaw.
00:42:36What's going on?
00:42:37The court threw out
00:42:38my case against
00:42:39Stella.
00:42:40The formula
00:42:41was ruled
00:42:42her own work,
00:42:43so it's entirely
00:42:44hers.
00:42:44The lawsuit
00:42:45was a total bust.
00:42:46looks like
00:42:47she was fully
00:42:48prepared.
00:42:50She played it
00:42:51so well
00:42:51that even
00:42:52the judges
00:42:52bought it.
00:42:53I underestimated
00:42:54her.
00:42:55She never
00:42:56focuses on the
00:42:56job,
00:42:57only on schemes
00:42:58and dirty tricks.
00:43:00Does that mean
00:43:00we have no way
00:43:02to deal with her?
00:43:03Of course
00:43:04there is a way.
00:43:05If suing her
00:43:06won't work,
00:43:07I'll find another
00:43:08way to ruin
00:43:09her.
00:43:10And Zach Lane
00:43:11can go down
00:43:12with her too!
00:43:15Ah!
00:43:16Bad news,
00:43:17Mr. Shaw.
00:43:18A group of
00:43:18core R&D staff
00:43:19just quit
00:43:20all at once.
00:43:21We're totally
00:43:22understaffed now.
00:43:24What did you say?
00:43:27Come in.
00:43:34Miss Clark!
00:43:36Why are you
00:43:37all here?
00:43:38Miss Clark,
00:43:39we all came
00:43:40because of you.
00:43:41We really respect
00:43:42and admire you.
00:43:43Ever since you
00:43:44left,
00:43:44Lane Corp
00:43:45has been a mess.
00:43:46We don't want
00:43:47to stay there.
00:43:47Miss Clark,
00:43:48I'll never forget
00:43:49the days
00:43:49working on projects
00:43:51with you.
00:43:51Yeah,
00:43:52you gave us
00:43:52a drive to keep
00:43:53going.
00:43:54Even overtime
00:43:54felt rewarding.
00:43:57Since you're
00:43:58all here,
00:43:59give it your all.
00:44:00Your hard work
00:44:01will pay off.
00:44:02Yes!
00:44:03Guys,
00:44:04a 2025 product
00:44:05launch is coming
00:44:06soon.
00:44:07This is our
00:44:08first big fight.
00:44:10And I am
00:44:11counting on you.
00:44:13Miss Tulane,
00:44:14don't worry.
00:44:14With Miss Clark
00:44:15here,
00:44:16no matter how hard
00:44:17this fight is,
00:44:17we'll win.
00:44:20Stella.
00:44:21It must be her.
00:44:23Mr. Shaw,
00:44:24what do we do now?
00:44:25The R&D department
00:44:26is basically paralyzed
00:44:27and the product
00:44:28launches around the
00:44:29corner.
00:44:30We don't even have
00:44:31a new product.
00:44:33How would I know
00:44:34what to do?
00:44:36Don't panic.
00:44:38You still have me.
00:44:39Wendy,
00:44:42Shaw Corp's future
00:44:43depends on you.
00:44:45Mr. Shaw,
00:44:46don't worry.
00:44:47With me here,
00:44:48I will let you loose.
00:45:01Dad.
00:45:02Jacob,
00:45:02when are you
00:45:04coming back?
00:45:04You didn't come
00:45:06home for Thanksgiving
00:45:06and your mom
00:45:07complained for days.
00:45:09Dad,
00:45:10we've been so busy
00:45:11with the projects.
00:45:13Are projects
00:45:14more than
00:45:15your family?
00:45:17I...
00:45:17When exactly
00:45:19are you going
00:45:19to get married?
00:45:20You can't keep
00:45:21stalling forever.
00:45:23People will
00:45:23start talking.
00:45:25I've been thinking.
00:45:26Stella is really
00:45:27an incredible woman.
00:45:30There's no way
00:45:31you'll find anyone
00:45:32like her.
00:45:33You should marry
00:45:33her sooner.
00:45:35Dad,
00:45:36actually,
00:45:37where...
00:45:37I want you
00:45:38to slowly
00:45:39take over
00:45:40our family business.
00:45:42I've poured
00:45:43my whole life
00:45:44into the company.
00:45:45But you're
00:45:46hot-headed
00:45:47and impulsive.
00:45:49Without Stella
00:45:50keeping you
00:45:51grounded,
00:45:52I can't put
00:45:53my mind
00:45:54at ease.
00:45:55I'm celebrating
00:45:57my birthday
00:45:57in two days.
00:45:59We'll be having
00:46:00a family dinner.
00:46:02Bring Stella over.
00:46:03everyone wants
00:46:05to meet you two.
00:46:07At that dinner,
00:46:08I'll officially
00:46:09announce that I'm
00:46:10handing the family
00:46:11business over
00:46:12to you early.
00:46:14Alright,
00:46:15Dad.
00:46:16I'll bring her.
00:46:20Come with me
00:46:20to the family dinner.
00:46:22I can forget
00:46:22what happened
00:46:23with the Belham project.
00:46:24Don't worry.
00:46:29I'll definitely
00:46:30be there.
00:46:39What's the matter?
00:46:40It's Jacob's father.
00:46:43He invited me
00:46:44to the family dinner.
00:46:46You're going.
00:46:48Mm.
00:46:49Back when
00:46:50Shaw Corp
00:46:50was just founded,
00:46:52he gave me a loan
00:46:52during a really tough time.
00:46:54It's what got
00:46:55the company
00:46:56through its crisis.
00:46:58So no matter
00:46:59how bad things are
00:47:00between me
00:47:01and Jacob,
00:47:01I have to repay
00:47:03that favor.
00:47:04Go ahead.
00:47:06Just remember,
00:47:08you owe him a favor,
00:47:09not your heart.
00:47:12You also helped me
00:47:13when I was struggling.
00:47:15So,
00:47:16what do I owe you?
00:47:20There's no rush
00:47:21to pay me back.
00:47:23I prefer
00:47:24settling things slowly.
00:47:39One text
00:47:46and you came running.
00:47:48Stella,
00:47:49I knew you
00:47:50wouldn't hold out
00:47:51for long.
00:47:53What?
00:47:55Without Zach,
00:47:56that lap dog,
00:47:57protecting you,
00:47:58you even had
00:47:59to drive yourself.
00:48:00I can manage
00:48:01on my own,
00:48:02but you might
00:48:03not keep up
00:48:04with the act alone.
00:48:05I'm warning you.
00:48:08Say one wrong word
00:48:09in front of my dad
00:48:10later
00:48:10and I won't let you
00:48:11walk out that door.
00:48:13Don't worry.
00:48:14I'm not wasting words
00:48:15at your family dinner.
00:48:17But if someone
00:48:17insisted on humiliating
00:48:19themselves,
00:48:20I won't stop them.
00:48:28David.
00:48:29Stella,
00:48:30long time no see.
00:48:31I knew you would come
00:48:32for my sake.
00:48:34Long time no see.
00:48:36Thanks for inviting me.
00:48:38Come,
00:48:39take a seat.
00:48:44Jacob has a good eye.
00:48:47Stella is the most
00:48:48capable woman I know.
00:48:50Shaw Corp
00:48:51wouldn't be where
00:48:52it is today
00:48:52without her.
00:48:54Dad,
00:48:55you're exaggerating.
00:48:57Shaw Corp
00:48:57has done well
00:48:58these past few years.
00:49:00But it's not all
00:49:01because of Stella.
00:49:03Jacob
00:49:03deserves a lot
00:49:05of credit too.
00:49:07Jacob may be
00:49:08the face of the company.
00:49:09But Stella
00:49:10is the backbone
00:49:12holding it together.
00:49:14Come,
00:49:15Stella.
00:49:16Let's have a drink.
00:49:17Cheers.
00:49:18Cheers.
00:49:19So you're Stella.
00:49:21You're young.
00:49:23But how come
00:49:24I don't see
00:49:25any of your family here?
00:49:27What business
00:49:29are your family in?
00:49:32They're farmers.
00:49:34They don't run a business.
00:49:36You know,
00:49:36Jacob was born
00:49:37with a silver spoon
00:49:39and received
00:49:40the best education
00:49:41since he was young.
00:49:43Stella,
00:49:44you're not one
00:49:45of those country girls
00:49:46trying to latch
00:49:48onto a wealthy
00:49:49city guy,
00:49:50are you?
00:49:50No.
00:49:50No.
00:49:55Enough!
00:49:56A person's worth
00:50:00isn't judged
00:50:01by their family background.
00:50:02When we choose
00:50:03a daughter-in-law,
00:50:04we don't care
00:50:05how rich her family is.
00:50:07We only look
00:50:08at her ability
00:50:08and character.
00:50:09Back when Shaw Corp
00:50:11was about to go under,
00:50:13Stella carried
00:50:14all the pressure
00:50:15and saved
00:50:17the company.
00:50:18Nobody else
00:50:19but her
00:50:20stepped up like that.
00:50:21David,
00:50:23I get what
00:50:23you're saying
00:50:24but people
00:50:25are talking.
00:50:26They're all laughing
00:50:27at us
00:50:28for picking
00:50:28a country girl,
00:50:30saying Jacob
00:50:31has poor judgment.
00:50:32I'm just worried
00:50:34about his reputation.
00:50:36Poor judgment?
00:50:39Well,
00:50:40that's not entirely
00:50:41wrong.
00:50:43Stella?
00:50:45Shut up!
00:50:46I didn't mention
00:50:48any names.
00:50:49Why get so wrecked up?
00:50:51If you weren't
00:50:51so incompetent,
00:50:52we wouldn't have
00:50:53needed Wendy
00:50:53to step in.
00:50:54How could you
00:50:55mock her?
00:50:56Jacob,
00:50:57you know very well
00:50:58how much Stella
00:50:59has done
00:50:59for the company.
00:51:01How can you
00:51:01call her incompetent?
00:51:03And who exactly
00:51:04is Wendy?
00:51:06Dad,
00:51:07Wendy is my assistant
00:51:08and now a key
00:51:09member of the company.
00:51:11She works hard
00:51:11and keeps improving.
00:51:13Way better than
00:51:14those who only
00:51:15flaunt their seniority.
00:51:16and talk big.
00:51:19Jacob,
00:51:20what's gotten
00:51:21into you?
00:51:23You're getting
00:51:24more and more
00:51:24out of line.
00:51:27I know Stella
00:51:28has always
00:51:28given in to you
00:51:29and put up with you.
00:51:31But you've gone
00:51:32too far!
00:51:34Pour Stella
00:51:34a drink
00:51:35and apologize to her.
00:51:37No need.
00:51:38Is there something
00:51:39going on
00:51:40between you two?
00:51:41Dad,
00:51:42we're fine.
00:51:44Stella,
00:51:44tell me honestly.
00:51:46what is really
00:51:47happening between
00:51:48you two?
00:51:51David,
00:51:51you have the right
00:51:53to know the truth.
00:51:58I came to repay
00:52:00your favor
00:52:01from long ago.
00:52:03As for Jacob
00:52:04and Shaw Corp,
00:52:05they have nothing
00:52:07to do with me anymore.
00:52:08Jacob,
00:52:11what did you do
00:52:14to make
00:52:15Stella say that?
00:52:18Stella,
00:52:19I know
00:52:21how patient
00:52:21and kind
00:52:22you've been
00:52:23with Jacob.
00:52:25So please,
00:52:26for my sake,
00:52:27don't be
00:52:28mad at him.
00:52:29He might have a temper,
00:52:30but he's not
00:52:31a bad person.
00:52:32David,
00:52:35I'm not
00:52:36throwing a fit.
00:52:38The company
00:52:38has already
00:52:39fired me
00:52:40and my
00:52:42relationship
00:52:42with Jacob
00:52:43is over.
00:52:46Stella?
00:52:47Fired?
00:52:48What does she mean?
00:52:50Jacob,
00:52:51what did you do?
00:52:53How could you
00:52:53fire Stella?
00:52:56Dad,
00:52:56it's not
00:52:57what you think.
00:52:58I did it
00:52:59for the company.
00:52:59You ungrateful brat!
00:53:02Calm down.
00:53:03What right
00:53:04do you have
00:53:04to fire her?
00:53:06You're completely
00:53:07out of line.
00:53:08You think
00:53:09becoming chairman
00:53:09makes you all that?
00:53:11Stella gave
00:53:12that seat up
00:53:13for you.
00:53:13How do I not
00:53:14have the right?
00:53:15Dad,
00:53:16do you know
00:53:16what she did
00:53:17to Wendy
00:53:17at the office?
00:53:18Wendy?
00:53:20That woman again.
00:53:22You fired Stella
00:53:23because of her,
00:53:23right?
00:53:24Dad,
00:53:25don't jump
00:53:26to conclusions.
00:53:27Wendy's a great woman.
00:53:28She's not any
00:53:29worse than Stella.
00:53:30I'll bring her
00:53:31to meet you
00:53:31another day.
00:53:32How can she
00:53:33compare to Stella?
00:53:34You're blind.
00:53:36You're blind
00:53:37and you've
00:53:38completely
00:53:38lost your head.
00:53:40Stella,
00:53:41we've wronged you.
00:53:45Jacob,
00:53:46you've thrown away
00:53:50the best thing
00:53:52our family ever had.
00:53:54Everyone,
00:53:55I won't deal
00:53:56with the company
00:53:57anymore.
00:53:58As for the family's
00:53:59assets,
00:54:00your mom and I
00:54:01will continue
00:54:02handling them.
00:54:03Jacob,
00:54:04you made
00:54:06your own bed.
00:54:07Now,
00:54:08lie in it!
00:54:09Stella!
00:54:22Stop right there!
00:54:27Are you happy now?
00:54:28Dad told everyone
00:54:29he's done
00:54:30with the company
00:54:31and he's taking back
00:54:33what's rightfully mine.
00:54:34Is this what you
00:54:35wanted all along?
00:54:37This was your choice.
00:54:39Blame yourself.
00:54:40What's with that
00:54:41attitude?
00:54:43Jacob,
00:54:43you're just
00:54:44too kind.
00:54:45Letting a brat
00:54:46like her
00:54:46run all over you.
00:54:48Honestly,
00:54:49she's just a nobody
00:54:50from the countryside.
00:54:52She should be
00:54:53grateful to you
00:54:54for getting this far.
00:54:56If you ask me,
00:54:58Uncle David
00:54:58has completely
00:54:59lost it.
00:55:00You were right
00:55:00to fire her,
00:55:01Jacob.
00:55:01She never deserved
00:55:02to be Shaw Corp's VP.
00:55:03If you're unfit
00:55:04for the job,
00:55:05you deserve to be fired.
00:55:07Step aside.
00:55:09How cocky.
00:55:10You think
00:55:11you're still
00:55:11the VP?
00:55:13Please.
00:55:14You're nothing
00:55:15but a discarded mutt.
00:55:18Tch.
00:55:23Ms. Clark,
00:55:24what a coincidence.
00:55:25I didn't expect
00:55:25to see you here.
00:55:31Ms. Clark,
00:55:32I heard
00:55:32you're leading
00:55:33the Bellum Project.
00:55:34I've got a big deal
00:55:35on my side.
00:55:36I'd love for you
00:55:37to come on board.
00:55:38Should we set up a time
00:55:39to discuss working together?
00:55:40I won't beat around the bush.
00:55:42Would you consider
00:55:43joining our company?
00:55:44As long as you say yes,
00:55:45we'll double your salary.
00:55:47The shares
00:55:47are negotiable.
00:55:50Why is she
00:55:51so in demand?
00:55:53Why would they
00:55:54want to fire nobody?
00:55:55Are you people
00:55:56out of your minds?
00:55:57You got here real fast?
00:56:12Of course.
00:56:19Gentlemen,
00:56:20you don't stand
00:56:21a chance.
00:56:27She's with me.
00:56:29Once someone's
00:56:29in Lane Corp,
00:56:30they never leave.
00:56:32Let's go.
00:56:43Hello?
00:56:44Mr. Shaw,
00:56:44terrible news.
00:56:45All the raw materials
00:56:46for our product
00:56:47are ruined.
00:56:47Come back
00:56:48and take a look.
00:56:49Did you say?
00:56:58You're all useless.
00:57:00How can you
00:57:00mess up the raw materials?
00:57:01It wasn't
00:57:02an operational issue.
00:57:03The formula
00:57:04was the problem.
00:57:05How could the formula
00:57:06be wrong?
00:57:07Wasn't it left by Stella?
00:57:09We're down
00:57:10to the final preservative.
00:57:11But only Ms. Clark
00:57:12knows the exact ratio.
00:57:13We can't
00:57:14get it right at all.
00:57:16Yes,
00:57:17without this step,
00:57:18the raw materials
00:57:19will spoil.
00:57:19The whole batch
00:57:20will be ruined.
00:57:21So you're safe.
00:57:23We can't make this product
00:57:24without Stella?
00:57:26We're out of time.
00:57:28The launch
00:57:29is the day
00:57:29after tomorrow.
00:57:30We can't
00:57:31remake the product.
00:57:33Without the new product,
00:57:34we have nothing
00:57:35for the launch.
00:57:37What do we do now?
00:57:38Wendy,
00:57:39what's wrong?
00:57:41Who's going
00:57:41to explain to me
00:57:42what
00:57:43exactly happened here?
00:57:48Mr. Shaw,
00:57:50I never expected
00:57:51Stella
00:57:52to do something
00:57:54like swapping materials.
00:57:56What do you mean?
00:57:57I checked
00:57:57the surveillance,
00:57:58Mr. Shaw.
00:57:59The footage shows
00:58:00someone sneaking in
00:58:02at night
00:58:02to mess with the materials.
00:58:04Who else could it be
00:58:04other than her?
00:58:05You're saying
00:58:06she did this on purpose?
00:58:08Yes!
00:58:09She's the only one
00:58:11with the motive.
00:58:11She's been holding
00:58:13a grudge against us
00:58:14ever since she got fired.
00:58:16So she sabotaged us
00:58:17on purpose.
00:58:18She wants Shaw Corp
00:58:19to look bad
00:58:20at a product launch.
00:58:21And she even joined
00:58:23Lane Corp.
00:58:24If Shaw Corp
00:58:26stumbles,
00:58:27Lane Corp
00:58:27can steal the spotlight
00:58:28at the launch.
00:58:30Stella Clark,
00:58:31good job.
00:58:34Well done.
00:58:38Mr. Shaw,
00:58:39don't worry.
00:58:41I'll handle this problem.
00:58:44It won't affect
00:58:45the product launch.
00:58:47Thank goodness
00:58:47you're here,
00:58:48Wendy.
00:58:56Bring the preservative over.
00:58:58But without knowing
00:59:00the exact ratio,
00:59:00heading it blindly
00:59:01could be a disaster.
00:59:02Why worry?
00:59:04The final product
00:59:05won't affect
00:59:06the core effectiveness
00:59:07at all.
00:59:08And mostly just
00:59:08narrows the safety margin.
00:59:10But what if we overdo it?
00:59:11Could it be too harsh?
00:59:12As long as the results
00:59:13are stunning enough,
00:59:15who cares about
00:59:16some minor side effects?
00:59:18As long as we get
00:59:19through the launch,
00:59:20we win.
00:59:23Besides,
00:59:25the chance of this
00:59:26going wrong
00:59:27is less than
00:59:281 in 10,000.
00:59:30Only that stubborn
00:59:31Stella
00:59:31would tweak
00:59:33the key ratio
00:59:35to 8 decimal places
00:59:37just for a
00:59:391 in 10,000 chance.
00:59:40But what if
00:59:41something really goes wrong?
00:59:43I said it'll be fine.
00:59:46It's on me
00:59:47if anything happens.
00:59:48You just need to
00:59:49stay quiet.
00:59:51Understand?
00:59:52I'll risk it once.
01:00:03I'm betting on luck
01:00:05to favor it.
01:00:08everyone.
01:00:17We're just 3 days away
01:00:29from the new product's launch.
01:00:35We have to make sure
01:00:37Eternal Lux
01:00:37is flawless.
01:00:41How's everything?
01:00:43Everything's on track.
01:00:44We just need
01:00:45one last step,
01:00:45which is adding
01:00:46the stabilizing ingredient.
01:00:47The key ratio
01:00:48is already measured.
01:00:49The margin of error
01:00:50will be minuscule.
01:00:51I knew that
01:00:53with you here
01:00:54we can pull it off.
01:00:55Don't worry,
01:00:56Mr. Lane.
01:00:57Using Ms. Clark's formula,
01:00:58the results
01:00:59are significantly safer
01:01:01than anything else
01:01:02on the market.
01:01:03Hmm.
01:01:04Remember this.
01:01:05We want to win.
01:01:06We can take our time.
01:01:08But we must never
01:01:09risk the customer's skin.
01:01:11We want results,
01:01:13but safety comes first.
01:01:15Ms. Clark's formula
01:01:16guarantees
01:01:17zero risk
01:01:17and zero side effects.
01:01:19Once it hits the market,
01:01:20it'll be a hit.
01:01:21I'm saving two boxes
01:01:22for my sister.
01:01:23Any product saved
01:01:24for our family
01:01:25is a good product.
01:01:26Am I right?
01:01:27Hey, Mr. Lane,
01:01:28can you believe it?
01:01:29We pulled an all-nighter
01:01:30without a single fight.
01:01:32The atmosphere here
01:01:33is way better
01:01:33than Shaw Corpse.
01:01:35It's all thanks to you
