00:00:13Ila?
00:00:22Ila?
00:00:23Didn't you hear me clearly? $36,000 for the exit gift. Not a penny less.
00:00:31$36,000? Is that your idea, or hers?
00:00:35What Ruby says goes for me, too. If you really want to marry me, then show some real sincerity.
00:00:41Otherwise, I'm not getting out of this car.
00:00:43Exactly.
00:00:48Isla! All the family's waiting on you. Don't embarrass us in front of them.
00:00:53He's right, Ila. Come on, just get out of the car first.
00:00:56Who's arguing with you all? Wow, you can't even fork over that much. How can you expect to get married?
00:01:01Ila, I told you a long time ago. He's not reliable. But you just had to do it your way.
00:01:08Lucas, if you can't pay $36,000 for the exit gift, I don't think there's any wedding today.
00:01:14Ila, you know full well the bride price of $77,600 already wiped out everything I saved.
00:01:19I bought your brother a car, too. And I'm still paying that car loan off.
00:01:23I don't have any money left. Cut me some slack, will you?
00:01:27Wow, now he's acting like he's the victim.
00:01:29Ila, don't you go soft on him. You're not even married yet, and that's already his attitude.
00:01:34Just imagine what happens after you move in with him.
00:01:36Ruby Sutherland, shut your mouth!
00:01:38Why are you yelling at me? I'm just looking out for you both.
00:01:42Ila, look at the way he acts now. Who knows, after the wedding, he might even get violent at home.
00:01:47You troublemaker.
00:01:49What about me? If you're short on money, go borrow some. Why yell at me about it?
00:01:56Ila, Ila!
00:02:02What do we do?
00:02:11Ila, Ila, Ila.
00:02:11Hello, Ila. Where are you now? I'm back in town. Can we meet up?
00:02:18I...

00:05:36Neal and apologize to my sister!
00:05:38Didn't you hear me?
00:05:38Hurry up, Neal!
00:05:40I...
00:05:40I'm reborn.
00:05:42This is...
00:05:43I'm back before the wedding.
00:05:45The day we celebrated Isla's birthday.
00:05:51Clearly reserved a private room and bought gifts early.
00:05:54Because I went to pick up her cake, I was a bit late.
00:05:57She made me kneel and apologize right in front of everyone.
00:06:01In my previous life...
00:06:03Gave in to her for everything.
00:06:05Thinking it'd get me a good ending.
00:06:09Turns out...
00:06:11Since I'm reborn, why should I have it your way?
00:06:14Kneel and apologize to my sister!
00:06:16Didn't you hear me?
00:06:18Fine.
00:06:19I'll kneel for you.
00:06:22You dare hit me!
00:06:24Sis, look at him!
00:06:26Lucas Hart!
00:06:27You're insane!
00:06:28You dare hit my little brother?
00:06:30Right.
00:06:31Almost forgot about you.
00:06:35Isla, are you crazy?
00:06:37You dare hit Isla?
00:06:40Shut up!
00:06:41You snake!
00:06:42Every problem between us was because of your meddling.
00:06:44Don't let me see you ever again.
00:06:46You bastard!
00:06:48Oh, you want cake, right?
00:06:54Yeah, eat your damn cake!
00:07:03Lucas Hart!
00:07:05I want to call off our engagement.
00:07:07That's music to my ears.
00:07:11Lucas!
00:07:12Just wait!
00:07:14Just wait!
00:07:18Yes!
00:07:19Feels great!
00:07:28The Good Luck Info System is now activating...
00:07:30Helping you kickstart your epic comeback.
00:07:33System?
00:07:34Is there really a system in this world?
00:07:38Good luck, Info System.
00:07:41What does it do?
00:07:42Every day, the system randomly pushes intel that's beneficial to you.
00:07:46It helps you avoid trouble and get ahead, turns bad luck into good, and guides you to reach the top
00:07:52of your life.
00:07:53Beneficial intel?
00:07:55Ding dong!
00:07:56Today's Good Luck Intel has arrived.
00:07:59Would you like to check it?
00:08:00Let's take a look first.
00:08:02Check.
00:08:03Today's intel.
00:08:04If you go to Nightshade Bar before 10 tonight, you'll meet your lucky break and change your fate.
00:08:11The person who's going to change my destiny?
00:08:16It's only 9 right now.
00:08:19Perfect time to have a drink.
00:08:21I'll check it out first and go from there.
00:08:29My lucky break?
00:08:31Doesn't look like there's any around here.
00:08:34Looks like this lousy system is trying to fool me.
00:08:40I'm not sure.
00:08:41I'm not sure.
00:08:43I'm not sure.
00:08:43I'm not sure.
00:08:44I'm not sure.
00:08:45Lucas, what is going on between you and Isla?
00:08:49How could you lay a hand on her?
00:08:51The wedding date is set and everyone's been notified.
00:08:54Now you want to call off the engagement?
00:08:56Tell me, how are we supposed to handle this?
00:08:59Mom, don't worry.
00:09:01The wedding can happen.
00:09:03Just change the bride.
00:09:04Change the bride?
00:09:05What nonsense are you talking about?
00:09:11Hello.
00:09:13Is he the person the system mentioned?
00:09:16Mom, I've got something to do.
00:09:18Talk to you later.
00:09:22Can we have a drink together?
00:09:25Sure.
00:09:37Hey, handsome.
00:09:39Are you a zero or a one?
00:09:45What do you mean, zero or one?
00:09:49Come on, don't pretend.
00:09:53Are you crazy?
00:09:55Don't walk away.
00:09:57What the hell?
00:09:59This stupid system.
00:10:01Talking about some person who'll change my fate.
00:10:03Honestly, you just want to change my gender.
00:10:18Hurry.
00:10:21Hurry.
00:10:22Take me to a hotel.
00:10:24Ah.
00:10:25Quick.
00:10:38What are you doing?
00:10:41What are you doing?
00:10:43You have three seconds.
00:10:45Undo it yourself.
00:10:49I was set up by someone.
00:10:51Help me out.
00:10:53If you help me,
00:10:54I'll make it worth your while.
00:10:57I'll make it worth your while.
00:10:58I'll make it worth your while.
00:11:09I'll make it worth your while.
00:11:31Lucas,
00:11:32I'll make it worth your while.
00:11:46him this time. He actually dared to lay hands on me. If he doesn't get on his knees and
00:11:52apologize to me, there's no way I'll forgive him. That's right. His mother has sent out
00:11:58the wedding invitations. Let's see how they'll handle it when there's no bride at the wedding.
00:12:03Give it three days tops. He and his mother will definitely be begging me on their knees.
00:12:16Hey Josh. Isla, I'm back in the country a bit earlier than I said. Let's grab a meal.
00:12:22Together sometime soon. Sounds good. Call me when you're free. Alright, see you then. Yeah.
00:12:32That was Josh. He said he came back early and wants to see me.
00:12:38Honestly, you should just completely cut things. Off with Lucas. Josh was your first love anyway.
00:12:45Plus he's a rich kid. In every way, he's better than that clingy Lucas by a mile.
00:12:49Since he's always so sweet and accommodating to me, I'll give him one more chance. But
00:12:55if this time he still doesn't make me happy, I'm going to Josh. Exactly.
00:13:25Here's $20,000. I'll take responsibility for what happened.
00:13:34Wow. This woman is seriously domineering. Wasn't I the one who took advantage of her?
00:13:43Didn't you hear me clearly? $36,000 for the exit gift. Not a penny less.
00:13:50So, there really are women out there willing to spend money on men.
00:13:56Lucky tips have arrived for today. Would you like to check them?
00:14:01Check.
00:14:02Today at noon, Nova Horizon Group's new energy vehicles will experience battery issues and spark fires while driving.
00:14:10After this happens, Nova Horizon Group's stock price will take a huge dive.
00:14:16A lot of shareholders will dump their shares at a low price, but Nova Horizon Group has huge potential, and
00:14:22their stock price will keep climbing.
00:14:23You're advised to buy in at the bottom now.
00:14:28Nova Horizon Group? That's the company where Isla works.
00:14:35But these NEV is only one of the three main divisions in her company.
00:14:38The battery problem.
00:14:41The battery problem has always been a pain point for them.
00:14:44The tech I have could really help them out, but they wouldn't believe me anyway.
00:14:52As I'm not planning to marry Isla anymore, might as well take all the bride price of $77,600 and
00:14:59invest it in their stock?
00:15:02By the way, how's the thing I asked you to look into this morning?
00:15:05It's been taken care of. I've sent you the information.
00:15:19Because of this incident, the company's market value took a direct hit, with losses close to $400 million.
00:15:26Mr. Lindley, you're in charge of R&D. What do you say?
00:15:30The accident was caused by poor battery quality control.
00:15:34It's definitely our responsibility. I-
00:15:37I don't care who takes the blame. I want a solution to the problem.
00:15:41Over the years, the company has poured so much money into battery research.
00:15:45Why is it that even now, I still haven't been given a satisfactory answer?
00:15:50Ms. Miles, all batteries used in electric vehicles on the market are lithium-ion ones.
00:15:54If we want a shorter charging time and longer range, we have to switch to solid-state batteries.
00:15:59But at the moment, there isn't any company that's fully mastered this technology.
00:16:13Ms. Miles, actually, there's a small team online that's made some promising breakthroughs in solid-state battery research.
00:16:19Plus, their patent has received an international award.
00:16:22If we could bring them into our R&D team, it could really help the company grow.
00:16:26If there really are such talented people, whether it means buying their patent or acquiring their team, whether it's $2
00:16:32million or $4 million, no matter the cost, bring them into the company.
00:16:38Understood.
00:16:40Meeting adjourned.
00:16:46By the way, the press release your PR department sent out basically dumped all the blame on the car owner.
00:16:51Who told you to do that?
00:16:53Do you people have any common sense?
00:16:55Sorry, Ms. Miles.
00:16:56I'll fix it right away.
00:16:58Reach out to the owner as soon as possible and handle all the follow-up properly.
00:17:03Be sincere, and the compensation shall satisfy them.
00:17:06If you can't even handle this, you can pack your things and leave.
00:17:09Yes, Ms. Miles.
00:17:22Graduated from a top university.
00:17:25Majored in new energy chemical engineering.
00:17:28Only lives with mother.
00:17:30Filial and hardworking.
00:17:32And no bad habits.
00:17:35Yes.
00:17:52Nova Horizon Group's stock price is at its lowest point now.
00:17:55The outlook for the NEV market is actually pretty good.
00:17:59Should I really trust the system's prediction and buy-in now?
00:18:11Forgot my bank card is still with Isla.
00:18:23Isla, look at this bag.
00:18:25It's really pretty.
00:18:31Well, here comes the apology.
00:18:35You finally thought to call.
00:18:38Too late.
00:18:44We've broken up, and you still spend my money?
00:18:53Hi.
00:18:54Lost my card.
00:18:55I'd like to report it as lost.
00:18:57Please freeze my account first.
00:18:59We'll take these two bags.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02Isla, did you hit the jackpot?
00:19:04Buying two bags in one go?
00:19:06Well, your birthday's coming up soon.
00:19:07The other one will be your birthday gift.
00:19:10Really?
00:19:10That's awesome.
00:19:12Thank you, babe.
00:19:13Hello, that'll be $14,000 total.
00:19:15Okay, I'll pay by card.
00:19:18Oh, babe, you're spoiling me again.
00:19:20It's fine.
00:19:21It's Lucas's card anyway.
00:19:23He went this far this time and even raised a hand to you.
00:19:26Spending his money to get you a bag is only fair compensation.
00:19:29Isn't that right?
00:19:30Please enter your PIN here.
00:19:37Transaction failed.
00:19:40What's going on?
00:19:41Could it be that you entered the wrong password?
00:19:44Why don't you try again?
00:19:50How could that be?
00:19:51I was just able to pay with it when I had lunch.
00:19:54Could it be that your machine is acting up?
00:19:56Yeah, it's definitely a problem with your machine.
00:19:59All right.
00:19:59I'll get you a new one right away.
00:20:07Please enter your password again.
00:20:14What in the world is going on?
00:20:16Could it be that Lucas froze the card?
00:20:19Lucas, you actually dare to stop the card?
00:20:22Even if he apologizes a thousand times this time, I'm never forgiving him.
00:20:27Miss, look.
00:20:28Do you still want these two bags?
00:20:30What's wrong?
00:20:31You think I can't afford them?
00:20:32No, no.
00:20:33You've misunderstood.
00:20:34You don't want me to spend money, do you?
00:20:36Some people just like to.
00:20:47Hello, Isla?
00:20:49Hello, Josh.
00:20:50I'm at Primeway Mall.
00:20:51I found two bags I really like.
00:20:53Can you come over and help me buy them?
00:20:55The bags you have are all fakes.
00:20:57I'll take you to get real ones next time.
00:20:59I'm swamped right now, working on a deal worth hundreds of millions.
00:21:02All right, all right.
00:21:02Be good.
00:21:03Let's talk later.
00:21:07Come on, babe.
00:21:08Let's get back to our deal.
00:21:10Hello?
00:21:11Hello?
00:21:15Miss, about these bags.
00:21:19Honestly, these bags are not even nice.
00:21:21We don't want them anymore.
00:21:24Let's go.
00:21:26Hey, I...
00:21:49Come on.
00:22:00Hey!
00:22:07Let's do another one.
00:22:09Wait a sec.
00:22:12Here, babe.
00:22:13Try this.
00:22:13I made this for you myself.
00:22:19Told you.
00:22:20I'm not eating.
00:22:21Can you stop bugging me?
00:22:22Just eat it yourself.
00:22:24Okay.
00:22:35Turns out loving or not loving someone is really obvious.
00:22:39Who I was last time was honestly ridiculous.
00:22:55Oh, calling again.
00:22:57Probably because the wedding's coming up.
00:22:59Now he's panicking.
00:23:00Let him panic.
00:23:01He dared to freeze my card.
00:23:03Right now.
00:23:04Even if he kneels down and apologizes,
00:23:07I still might not forgive him.
00:23:09Exactly.
00:23:18I'll give you three days to move out of my house.
00:23:21If you don't,
00:23:23I'll take care of you myself.
00:23:39That's what happens when you cross me.
00:23:42Let him regret it.
00:23:46Hey, Micah.
00:23:48Lucas, I've got some good news for you.
00:23:50We're about to get rich.
00:23:52Two million dollars.
00:23:54Two million dollars.
00:23:55What?
00:23:55Two million dollars?
00:23:58Look.
00:23:59This one looks great.
00:24:03What do you think about your marriage with Josh?
00:24:05Have you given it any thought?
00:24:07Grandpa, drop the topic, please.
00:24:09There's no way I'm marrying Josh Sutherland,
00:24:11that spoiled brat.
00:24:14Sigh.
00:24:15Aurora.
00:24:16Your parents passed away early.
00:24:18I've raised you and your brother.
00:24:20With my own two hands.
00:24:23Elias just wants to goof off.
00:24:25He refuses to come back from overseas.
00:24:28Everything with the company is handled by you alone.
00:24:31I just hope to find someone dependable to help you out.
00:24:35Josh might be reckless.
00:24:37But.
00:24:39Okay, Grandpa.
00:24:40Please don't say any more.
00:24:41I'm not agreeing to this.
00:24:43I don't need anyone's help.
00:24:44I can handle the company's affairs myself.
00:24:53It's not that I want to pressure you.
00:24:58I...
00:24:59I'm getting old.
00:25:01And I'm afraid I might not.
00:25:03To see you get married.
00:25:27Could she be the one the system said
00:25:29who will change my fate?
00:25:31But I don't even know her name.
00:25:37Hey!
00:25:38Isn't that...
00:25:39Uh, what's their name over there?
00:25:45He definitely knows this is the cafe I come to most often.
00:25:48So, I guess he's here waiting for me.
00:26:02Bika Green?
00:26:04What's he doing here?
00:26:06Forget it.
00:26:07Just ignore him.
00:26:13Lucas!
00:26:13Why are you here alone?
00:26:15Where's Isla?
00:26:16I've already broken up with her.
00:26:18Huh?
00:26:19You broke up?
00:26:20Are you kidding me?
00:26:23Didn't you guys already set a wedding date?
00:26:25How could this happen all of a sudden?
00:26:28And you love her so much.
00:26:32It's just like this.
00:26:33If love only goes one way,
00:26:35it won't work out.
00:26:37Anyway, forget it.
00:26:38Let's not talk about this.
00:26:40Let's talk business.
00:26:41You mentioned that $2 million thing last time.
00:26:44What's happening with that?
00:26:45All right.
00:26:46Remember two years ago, we secretly entered that tech innovation competition?
00:26:50Yeah.
00:26:51Our patent research on solid-state battery technology even won us an award.
00:26:56Yeah.
00:26:56You'll never guess.
00:26:58What happened?
00:26:59What?
00:27:01Yesterday, someone suddenly reached out to me, offering $2 million to buy our patent.
00:27:05They're even willing to pay big bucks to hire our whole team.
00:27:09You're the lead on this patent.
00:27:12So you decide.
00:27:13Do we sell or not?
00:27:20$2 million.
00:27:23Your intention to sell the patent was detected.
00:27:27System-friendly reminder.
00:27:28In the next five years, the new energy sector is on the verge of a boom.
00:27:32Whoever controls solid-state battery technology will hold the key to the entire industry.
00:27:37Please consider carefully.
00:27:44Lucas, what are you looking at?
00:27:47Oh.
00:27:48So, are we selling or not?
00:27:50If we sell, we could literally retire today.
00:27:53Why are we still here, working ourselves to the bone?
00:27:57Here's the thing.
00:27:58Micah, I think the NEV industry has huge potential.
00:28:02And this solid-state battery technology is key to the future of new energy.
00:28:06Instead of selling now, why don't we start our own company and focus on R&D?
00:28:11Right now, we might be losing $2 million.
00:28:14But in five years, it could make us $200 million or even $2 billion.
00:28:20My suggestion is, we don't sell it.
00:28:24Don't sell?
00:28:26Of course, this patent doesn't just belong to me.
00:28:29If you really want to sell...
00:28:31No.
00:28:33Not selling.
00:28:34I believe in you.
00:28:36Actually, I've wanted to fire my damn boss for ages.
00:28:40So how about we find the right people and do this ourselves?
00:28:45Alright.
00:28:46Let's go.
00:28:48Coming, coming.
00:28:54Isn't that...
00:28:55Just ignore her.
00:28:58No matter how much he begs me today, I'm not forgiving him.
00:29:07Hey, he...
00:29:08He left.
00:29:10He just walked out like that.
00:29:13I'll, uh...
00:29:13If you ask me, you should just move on to Josh.
00:29:16He's going to regret it someday.
00:29:21So, you and her are really done?
00:29:25Yeah.
00:29:26What about the wedding?
00:29:27Everybody knows.
00:29:28You're getting married.
00:29:31The wedding?
00:29:32It's fine.
00:29:33I'll just find someone else.
00:29:35Replace the bride?
00:29:36You're...
00:29:38Oh, by the way, let's stick to what we just discussed about starting our business.
00:29:43You go ahead and find the right people.
00:29:45I'll get some of the prep work started.
00:29:46Alright.
00:29:47I'm going to head out then.
00:29:48Okay.
00:29:49Okay.
00:30:03Hello?
00:30:05It's me.
00:30:06Um...
00:30:07Can we meet up?
00:30:15Hello?
00:30:16It's me.
00:30:20Um...
00:30:21Can we meet up?
00:30:24What?
00:30:25You think it's not enough?
00:30:30Alright.
00:30:31So, see you after work tonight.
00:30:37Ugh, I'm seriously exhausted these days.
00:30:39Working overtime every single day.
00:30:41All because the company had that mess.
00:30:43The boss got pissed, and now nobody gets an easy day.
00:30:47Hey, Isla!
00:30:48Why are you still here?
00:30:50Usually around this time, your boyfriend would already be downstairs waiting for you in his car.
00:30:55What happened today?
00:30:58Well...
00:30:58He got stuck in traffic.
00:31:00He's almost here.
00:31:02Oh.
00:31:02Okay, my boyfriend's here.
00:31:04We'll leave first.
00:31:07Wait!
00:31:14No matter how busy he was before, Lucas would always get here early, and wait for me outside in his
00:31:19car.
00:31:24Lucas!
00:31:26Still came to pick me up, huh?
00:31:27Huh?
00:31:38Lucas!
00:31:39You're not getting away with this.
00:31:45Hey, Josh!
00:31:47Are you free tonight?
00:31:48Dinner's on me.
00:31:49Something nice.
00:31:49I'm downstairs at the office.
00:31:51Can you come get me?
00:31:52Sent the car for maintenance.
00:31:53I'll text you the address.
00:31:55Just grab a cab here.
00:31:57Hey!
00:31:58I'll cover your cab fare.
00:31:59I'm waiting for you, okay?
00:32:02Hey!
00:32:11You jerk!
00:32:16It's not that I want to pressure you.
00:32:19I'm getting old, and I'm afraid I might not live to see you get married.
00:32:25Sorry I'm late.
00:32:27Rain made the traffic worse.
00:32:28It's okay.
00:32:29Have a seat.
00:32:40What's up?
00:32:42Nothing, really.
00:32:45Go ahead.
00:32:46What do you want?
00:32:49Came here.
00:32:51To give your money back.
00:32:53It's not enough.
00:32:55No, wait!
00:32:56Just feel like that night, I wanted it too.
00:32:59You don't need to pay me.
00:33:01Then, so what do you want?
00:33:05If you really want me to ask what I want,
00:33:07there actually is something I'd like your help with.
00:33:12Tell me about it.
00:33:16Want to marry you.
00:33:20Wait, don't get me wrong.
00:33:22That's not what I mean.
00:33:23It's a fake marriage.
00:33:25Originally, my fiancé and I were supposed to get married.
00:33:29But...
00:33:32Now all my friends and family know I'm about to get married.
00:33:36And if I call it off now?
00:33:38My mom will be the laughing stock among her relatives and friends for life.
00:33:42So I want someone to go through the motions with me.
00:33:45Just a ceremony.
00:33:58Sorry if I was too abrupt.
00:34:00I'll go now.
00:34:03Wait a second.
00:34:05I'm not interested in a fake marriage.
00:34:07If we're going to get married, then let's actually get married.
00:34:11Huh?
00:34:11What?
00:34:12You don't want to?
00:34:15You...
00:34:15Aren't you even going to try to get to know me first?
00:34:23No need.
00:34:24Bring your ID tomorrow.
00:34:26Let's meet at the courthouse.
00:34:30Let's add each other on WeChat first, so it'll be easier to stay in touch.
00:34:37Added you.
00:34:39Hey, you still haven't told me your name.
00:34:44Aurora Miles.
00:34:47Aurora Miles.
00:34:49Aurora.
00:34:50Like the stars in the summer night.
00:34:52That's such an elegant name.
00:34:56Didn't expect my wife to be this pretty.
00:35:00Ms. Miles, are you really planning to marry that Lucas?
00:35:04Is there a problem?
00:35:07No, what about the Sutherland family?
00:35:09How are we going to explain this to Master?
00:35:11Grandpa just worries that no one will look after me after he's gone, that's all.
00:35:15Besides, compared to Josh, who's basically a spoiled brat, Lucas is a thousand times better.
00:35:20And anyway, the Sutherland family's agenda was never pure.
00:35:24Grandpa will understand me.
00:35:25Oh right, for now, don't reveal my identity to Lucas.
00:35:28If he asks about me, just say.
00:35:31I'm a department manager under Nova Horizon Group.
00:35:35Got it.
00:35:42Isla, hurry, have a seat.
00:35:44So this is that big feast you were talking about?
00:35:48What do you know?
00:35:49I used to crave this when I was abroad.
00:35:51Their spicy hot pot is amazing.
00:35:53Here, try some.
00:35:54I'm not eating that.
00:35:55I'm heading home.
00:35:57Hey!
00:36:01Fine, don't eat it if you don't want to.
00:36:03Why are you in such a rush?
00:36:05Hold on, do you want to come over to my place?
00:36:07I'll cook for you myself.
00:36:09Going to your house in the middle of the night?
00:36:11Why?
00:36:12You don't trust me?
00:36:13I just bought a new mansion.
00:36:17Mansion?
00:36:18All right, let's go.
00:36:25Wow!
00:36:26Josh, your place is gorgeous!
00:36:29It's all right.
00:36:30Just costs a little over two million dollars.
00:36:32Two million dollars?
00:36:36Well, are you satisfied?
00:36:39Want to be the lady of the house?
00:36:41Lady of the house?
00:36:47Josh, you're going to marry me, right?
00:36:49Marry you?
00:36:51Stupid woman.
00:36:53Just want to play with you.
00:36:54Never thought about marrying you.
00:36:56Of course.
00:36:57Came back just for you.
00:36:59Hey, Josh.
00:37:00I'm getting hungry.
00:37:01Didn't you say you'd cook for me?
00:37:03Okay.
00:37:04I'll make noodles and feed you.
00:37:07Stop it.
00:37:11You little brat.
00:37:12What are you up to now?
00:37:14You little brat.
00:37:15What are you doing?
00:37:17Grandma, how did you get here?
00:37:19Hmmph.
00:37:20Heard from your dad.
00:37:21After you came back home,
00:37:23all day long,
00:37:24you're messing around
00:37:25with all sorts of women.
00:37:26If I didn't come here
00:37:27to check up on you,
00:37:28you'd turn this place upside down.
00:37:30Madam, hello.
00:37:32I'm Josh's girlfriend.
00:37:36Shut up.
00:37:37Someone like you
00:37:38isn't worthy
00:37:39to be my grandson's girlfriend.
00:37:41Hmmph.
00:37:42Want to join the Sutherland family?
00:37:44You're not qualified yet.
00:37:46Let me warn you,
00:37:47Josh already has an engagement.
00:37:49If you know what's good for you,
00:37:50leave on your own.
00:37:52Engagement?
00:37:53Josh, you lied to me.
00:37:56Come on, let me explain.
00:37:57Don't listen to Grandma's nonsense.
00:37:59She's just making things up
00:37:59to fool you.
00:38:00There's no engagement.
00:38:01You're the only one I care about.
00:38:03Just go home for now.
00:38:05Be good.
00:38:06Go home.
00:38:07Just.
00:38:08Just go home.
00:38:12Grandma.
00:38:14I went through so much trouble,
00:38:16swallowing my pride
00:38:17to propose for you.
00:38:18If you screw this up for me,
00:38:20just wait and see
00:38:21what I do with you.
00:38:23I got it, Grandma.
00:38:26You brat.
00:38:30How could he treat me like this?
00:38:33Didn't he say
00:38:34he only came back for me?
00:38:41Mr. Hart,
00:38:42all the wedding details are ready.
00:38:44Is there anything else
00:38:45you'd like to add?
00:38:46Wedding?
00:38:47Nothing else.
00:38:49I think the setup looks good.
00:38:50Let's stick with this.
00:38:51So Lucas secretly planned a wedding for me behind my back.
00:38:56He must have wanted to set up everything perfectly and surprise me.
00:38:59That's why he's been acting so indifferent.
00:39:02It must be that.
00:39:04I knew.
00:39:05You can't be without me.
00:39:11Well, Miss Miles,
00:39:14I...
00:39:14We've got our marriage license.
00:39:16Why so formal?
00:39:20Aurora,
00:39:20I've booked the hotel for our wedding.
00:39:22I booked a wedding dress fitting for you today.
00:39:25If you're not busy...
00:39:26The dress?
00:39:28Yeah.
00:39:29I'm worried I might not pick one you like.
00:39:31So,
00:39:32it's better for you to choose one yourself.
00:39:33Something you like.
00:39:35Okay.
00:39:40Wait.
00:39:42Isla,
00:39:42have a seat.
00:39:43Sit down, please.
00:39:44You mean,
00:39:45Lucas has secretly booked the hotel for the wedding?
00:39:48Of course he did.
00:39:49I saw it with my own eyes.
00:39:51Knew it.
00:39:52Lucas likes you so much.
00:39:53There's no way he'd just walk away from you.
00:39:56Getting him to commit is basic.
00:39:58a piece of cake.
00:40:01Hey,
00:40:02isn't that Lucas?
00:40:06Why did he come to the bridal shop by himself?
00:40:10Come on,
00:40:10let's go check it out.
00:40:16Look,
00:40:17over there.
00:40:20He's alone.
00:40:21How's he going to try on dresses without you?
00:40:23Isn't he buying it for you?
00:40:25You're talking nonsense.
00:40:26If not me,
00:40:28who else would he buy it for?
00:40:31She's coming out.
00:40:32I really want to see who it is.
00:40:43Who is this?
00:40:44Really need to go ask about it.
00:40:46Mr.
00:40:46Hart,
00:40:47this wedding dress is our shop's newest design this year.
00:40:50Honestly,
00:40:50it would look great on your fiancé, too.
00:40:52That's right,
00:40:52Mr.
00:40:53Hart.
00:40:53And your fiancé has a much nicer figure than I do.
00:40:56So if she wears this,
00:40:57she'll definitely look even more stunning than I do.
00:41:00Looks like Lucas has the staff try on the wedding dress for him.
00:41:03Turns out he actually wanted to surprise you.
00:41:05Don't think I'll forgive him so easily.
00:41:08Come on,
00:41:09let's go grab something to eat.
00:41:10All right.
00:41:25Wow,
00:41:26Miss Miles.
00:41:27You look like this dress was made just for you.
00:41:30It suits you perfectly.
00:41:32I feel like the one I'm wearing doesn't even compare to you.
00:41:37So do you like it?
00:41:39Isn't it beautiful?
00:41:45What are you doing?
00:41:48It really is beautiful.
00:41:49It is.
00:41:53Um,
00:41:53you look gorgeous in the wedding dress.
00:41:58I've booked the hotel and picked out the dress.
00:42:01Let's have the ceremony this month on the 28th.
00:42:03Is there anything else you need me to handle?
00:42:06No,
00:42:07you can take care of all that.
00:42:09Oh,
00:42:09right.
00:42:09There's something I want to talk to you about.
00:42:11What is it?
00:42:12I'm thinking of selling the apartment to start a business with a friend.
00:42:16It's possible that at first I'll be out of work.
00:42:18Start a business?
00:42:19In what area?
00:42:21Batteries and new energy tech.
00:42:23After all,
00:42:24that's what my degree is in.
00:42:26I've put a lot of thought into this.
00:42:28And I've done the market research.
00:42:29I really believe it'll turn a profit soon.
00:42:32Clean energy is great.
00:42:33That's a promising field.
00:42:36You're not mad that I don't have a job?
00:42:38Why would I be mad about that?
00:42:41Starting your own business shows you've got drive.
00:42:43You have a good eye, too.
00:42:45I support you.
00:42:47She...
00:42:47She's not angry at all.
00:42:49She actually supports me.
00:42:51If this were Isla,
00:42:53she'd dump me on the spot.
00:42:55What's wrong?
00:42:57Oh,
00:42:58it's nothing.
00:42:59It's just...
00:43:00At first,
00:43:01money will be a bit tight.
00:43:02About the bride price,
00:43:04would $36,000 be okay?
00:43:07$36,000.
00:43:09If you think that's too little,
00:43:10I'll make sure to make it up to you later.
00:43:13Don't want your bride price.
00:43:14Consider it an investment in your business.
00:43:16You don't want a bride price?
00:43:18Mm-hmm.
00:43:19If you're short on money,
00:43:20I could help you out, too.
00:43:21No, no,
00:43:22that's really not necessary.
00:43:23I'm already grateful enough
00:43:24that you don't want the bride price.
00:43:26Wouldn't dream of taking your money.
00:43:28It's just...
00:43:29At first,
00:43:30we might need to rent a place to live.
00:43:32Since we've got the marriage certificate,
00:43:34we might as well go all in,
00:43:36or Grandpa will never believe me.
00:43:39No need.
00:43:40I've got a three-bedroom out by the beltway.
00:43:43It's a bit far.
00:43:44If you don't mind,
00:43:46we could move in together.
00:43:47Huh?
00:43:52Okay, I got it.
00:43:55Well,
00:43:56I'm usually really busy with work,
00:43:58and I've got some stuff at the office now.
00:44:00I'll head over first.
00:44:01I'll text you the address.
00:44:03Just remember to move over when you can.
00:44:04Okay, will do.
00:44:06Bye!
00:44:07Bye.
00:44:11Oh, my God!
00:44:12How much good karma did I have to earn in my last life
00:44:15to end up with such a perfect wife?
00:44:18System, thank you.
00:44:19Mrs. Porter,
00:44:21what do you think of this apartment?
00:44:23The location's not bad,
00:44:25but it's a little small.
00:44:30Mrs. Porter,
00:44:31about Dean and Elsie's engagement.
00:44:33How about we settle it today?
00:44:35Mrs. Porter?
00:44:36Well, they're both not that young anymore
00:44:39and have got a place to live.
00:44:41Let's just fix the wedding, okay?
00:44:43The wedding's fine,
00:44:44but the bride price is $77,600,
00:44:49not a penny less.
00:44:52$77,600?
00:44:54Ma'am, isn't that a bit much?
00:44:56My job's not even that steady right now.
00:44:59Yeah, exactly.
00:45:01Mrs. Porter,
00:45:02you've seen our financial situation, too.
00:45:04How can we come up with that much?
00:45:07If you can't even come up with that kind of money,
00:45:10how do you plan on marrying my daughter?
00:45:11As Dean treats Elsie quite well,
00:45:13I'd be asking $77,600 for the bride price.
00:45:18Otherwise, it would have to be at least $120,000.
00:45:24Elsie, maybe ask her to lower the bride price?
00:45:26Come on, you think her raising me was easy?
00:45:30If you can't even come up with this money,
00:45:32maybe we shouldn't get married.
00:45:34Hey, hey, wait, let me explain, let me explain.
00:45:36We never said we weren't paying.
00:45:38Yeah, that's right.
00:45:40Mrs. Porter, we...
00:45:41We'll figure something out.
00:45:43We'll figure something out.
00:45:46Hello.
00:45:47Are you Mr. Hart?
00:45:48Uh, yes, that's me.
00:45:50Hello, hi, nice to meet you.
00:45:52I heard you have a place for sale.
00:45:53I was sent here to take a look at your property.
00:45:55If everything checks out after the visit,
00:45:57we can sign the contract.
00:45:59All right, I'll show you around.
00:46:06Come in.
00:46:08What are you guys doing here?
00:46:10This is...
00:46:11He's my elder sister's boyfriend.
00:46:13Don't bother with him.
00:46:14How did you get in here?
00:46:16Of course, my daughter has a key.
00:46:19I came in with my own key.
00:46:20You think I could just break in or something?
00:46:22You're not welcome here.
00:46:24Please leave now.
00:46:25You brat.
00:46:26Hey, Lucas, how are you talking to my mom?
00:46:28You've got some nerve.
00:46:30If my sister finds out,
00:46:31you're going to be in trouble.
00:46:33Yeah, Lucas.
00:46:34Seems like you're getting more and more out of line.
00:46:37Why are you guys even at my place?
00:46:39Your place?
00:46:40This is your house?
00:46:41What else would it be?
00:46:43Dean, what are you getting at?
00:46:46Didn't you say this apartment was bought by your family as our wedding place?
00:46:49How did it suddenly become his place?
00:46:51Your wedding place?
00:46:53Mom, let's go.
00:46:55Wait, wait, hold on.
00:46:56Elsie, let me explain.
00:46:58This apartment is ours.
00:47:00That's right.
00:47:01This apartment is meant to be Elsie and Dean's wedding place.
00:47:04Mrs. Porter, we're not lying to you.
00:47:07Not lying to us?
00:47:08What did he mean by that?
00:47:09Then what was that about?
00:47:12Him?
00:47:12He's boyfriend of Isla, the elder sister of Dean.
00:47:15I've talked it over with my daughter.
00:47:17Once they're married,
00:47:18we'll give this apartment to Dean as a wedding gift.
00:47:21Like the elder sister giving her younger brother a wedding present.
00:47:24Uh, maybe Isla just hasn't had a chance to tell him yet.
00:47:31Tell me?
00:47:33Wow, Isla.
00:47:34So you're planning to give away my apartment behind my back?
00:47:38Lucas, I don't think you should mind if we give this place to Dean as his wedding home, right?
00:47:45Mind?
00:47:46Get out of my place.
00:47:48Now.
00:47:49All of you, get out of here.
00:47:51Lucas, how are you talking to my dad right now?
00:47:57Lucas, are you insane?
00:47:59Son, are you okay?
00:48:01Lucas, you really are out of line now.
00:48:03Now you even dare to hit someone?
00:48:06Looks to me like you don't want to marry my daughter anymore.
00:48:09Break up.
00:48:10I'm calling right now, telling my sister to have you break up.
00:48:13That is what you get for hitting me.
00:48:14Don't bother making the call.
00:48:16Hmph.
00:48:17Now you're scared, aren't you?
00:48:18Too late.
00:48:19Unless...
00:48:20You get on your knees and apologize to me now.
00:48:22Head on my knees and apologize?
00:48:24Just you?
00:48:25Seriously?
00:48:26You trash.
00:48:28You don't want to apologize?
00:48:29Fine, but you...
00:48:30Mom, whose side are you on right now?
00:48:34You don't have to apologize, but you still need to come up with $77,600.
00:48:39You can think of it as compensation for his emotional distress.
00:48:44Otherwise, I'll have my daughter call off the wedding.
00:48:47Your mom announced your wedding to all your friends and family.
00:48:51If Isla calls off the engagement now, you can imagine the consequences.
00:48:56That's right.
00:48:56$77,600.
00:48:58Not a penny less.
00:48:59And I've talked it over with Isla about the apartment.
00:49:02After you two get married, this place will be gifted to Dean.
00:49:06Given to him?
00:49:07Mm-hmm.
00:49:09Then where am I supposed to live?
00:49:11Let your mom spend more money and buy you a place.
00:49:14If your family can't afford a home, don't even think about marrying my daughter.
00:49:20Given my apartment to him?
00:49:21Mm-hmm.
00:49:22And I have to buy another one myself.
00:49:24That's right.
00:49:25On top of that, I give you $77,600?
00:49:29Exactly.
00:49:31Isla didn't tell you all this, did she?
00:49:33Tell me what?
00:49:36Isla and I are completely over now.
00:49:38It's over?
00:49:40You really broke up with my sister?
00:49:42Did that night at karaoke not teach you anything?
00:49:45Your sister asked me to call off the engagement.
00:49:48Agreed.
00:49:49That's impossible.
00:49:50It took you ages to win my sister over.
00:49:53You used to do everything she wanted.
00:49:55You two couldn't be breaking up for real.
00:49:57Well, I'm telling you right now, from this moment on,
00:50:00I have absolutely nothing to do with Isla anymore.
00:50:02And even less to do with any of you.
00:50:05This is my house.
00:50:06I'm planning to sell it.
00:50:08I need you all to leave.
00:50:09What?
00:50:10Sell the house?
00:50:11What gives you the right to sell this house?
00:50:13If you sell the house, what about my son?
00:50:15That's your family's business.
00:50:17None of mine.
00:50:18You brat.
00:50:18If you don't leave, I'll call the cops.
00:50:22Fine.
00:50:22So your whole family teamed up to scam us, huh?
00:50:25No house, but want to marry my daughter?
00:50:28It's not like that.
00:50:29Keep dreaming.
00:50:30Mrs. Porter, let's go.
00:50:31Hey, Mrs. Porter.
00:50:32Elsie, listen to me.
00:50:33It's not like that.
00:50:34Just listen to me.
00:50:37Hey, Mrs. Porter, don't leave.
00:50:39Don't go.
00:50:39This is all your fault.
00:50:41All your fault.
00:50:41Son, son, let's go.
00:50:43Still don't think you got beat up enough, huh?
00:50:45Lucas, this isn't over between us.
00:50:48Let's go.
00:50:51Lucas, you just wait.
00:50:52You're going to regret this.
00:50:55Are you okay?
00:50:57I'm fine.
00:50:58At least now the flies have shut up in here.
00:51:00Let's check out the house.
00:51:04I haven't been home in so long.
00:51:06Mom and Dad aren't even here.
00:51:08When they get back here and see all the food I made for them,
00:51:12they'll definitely praise me, right?
00:51:14Dad, Mom, you're back!
00:51:17Isla, what are you doing here?
00:51:20What's wrong?
00:51:21It's just that I haven't visited in a while,
00:51:23so I wanted to come see you both.
00:51:25What's there to see about us?
00:51:29Let me ask you.
00:51:31Did you break up with Lucas?
00:51:33Break up?
00:51:34Who told you that?
00:51:36Lucas himself told us, actually.
00:51:39Isla, listen up.
00:51:40Your brother still doesn't have a place to live
00:51:42or a bride price saved up.
00:51:44If you dare break things off with him,
00:51:46you're no longer my daughter.
00:51:48Yeah, Lucas might be a bit timid sometimes,
00:51:51but he listens to you and does whatever you say.
00:51:53No matter what happened between you two,
00:51:56you absolutely can't break up with him.
00:51:59At least wait until the apartment is transferred
00:52:01to your brother's name.
00:52:02Otherwise, you'll be the disgrace of the Walton family.
00:52:05So, you never actually care about my happiness.
00:52:08You only care about getting the bride price,
00:52:11making sure the house is paid off, right?
00:52:14Come on, Isla.
00:52:15Your brother has only one elder sister.
00:52:18If you don't help him, who will?
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:26It's not that I don't care about your happiness.
00:52:28It's just that you and Lucas already set a wedding date.
00:52:31How can you suddenly break up?
00:52:33What will relatives and friends think of us?
00:52:36If there's something going on, talk it out.
00:52:38Why are you saying you want to break up?
00:52:41Haven't broken up with him.
00:52:44You haven't broken up?
00:52:45That's what Lucas said himself.
00:52:47Yeah, he said he was going to sell this apartment.
00:52:50What on earth is going on?
00:52:52Lucas has been acting this whole time.
00:52:55Acting?
00:52:57Remember on my birthday?
00:52:58He made me mad, didn't he?
00:53:00This is his way of apologizing.
00:53:02He's setting up a surprise for me.
00:53:04Come on, sis.
00:53:05Don't kid yourself.
00:53:06He's actually selling his place.
00:53:08He even hit me today.
00:53:10I didn't see him doing anything that looked like an apology for you.
00:53:15You really don't know him at all.
00:53:17He chased after me for three years.
00:53:19I finally said yes to him.
00:53:21How could he ever bear to break up with me?
00:53:23Let me be straight with you.
00:53:25Actually, he already secretly picked out the hotel for our wedding.
00:53:28And he even helped me try on my wedding dress without telling me.
00:53:32He's just waiting to surprise me on our wedding day.
00:53:34Wait.
00:53:35Are you sure the hotel and dress are for you?
00:53:38Of course.
00:53:39I saw it with my own eyes.
00:53:41Who else would marry him right now if not me?
00:53:45Exactly.
00:53:46You two just argued for a few days.
00:53:48So if he didn't prepare them for you, who else would he prepare them for?
00:53:52Then why is he selling his apartment?
00:53:55I thought his old place was too small.
00:53:58So he probably wants to buy a bigger one and give it to me.
00:54:04Glad you haven't broken up.
00:54:06Hey, Isla.
00:54:07Listen.
00:54:08Last time we asked him for $77,600 for the bride price.
00:54:12This time, let's tack on a little more.
00:54:15Add $20,000.
00:54:16What do you think?
00:54:17And there should be a car.
00:54:19Since he won't give me the apartment, he can get me a car.
00:54:21Consider it a wedding gift.
00:54:24Yeah, that's settled then.
00:54:27If he wants to marry me, he has to do exactly what I say.
00:54:31You really are my good girl.
00:54:34Boss, are you really leaving?
00:54:36Yeah, boss.
00:54:37You're leaving so suddenly.
00:54:39If you go, what's going to happen to our team's project?
00:54:42Hey, don't worry.
00:54:43I've handed over all the projects.
00:54:45If you guys run into any problems, just text me anytime.
00:54:49It's all because of that brown-noser Vernon.
00:54:51He spends every single day just sucking up to people.
00:54:54The manager position should have gone to our boss.
00:54:57But he snatched it away by kissing up.
00:54:59Seriously, the boss must be blind.
00:55:01She can't see who actually gets things done,
00:55:03but just loves the people who flatter her.
00:55:05All right, let's drop it.
00:55:07If someone overhears us, it'd be bad for everyone.
00:55:10I'm not leaving because of Mr. Vernon.
00:55:12I just want to start something on my own and give it a shot myself.
00:55:16Starting your own business?
00:55:18How about we leave with you?
00:55:19Anyway, if you go, the Jeffrey will treat us even worse.
00:55:26What's going on?
00:55:27What's going on?
00:55:28Why are you all huddled up during work hours?
00:55:31What, are you planning a coup?
00:55:33Everyone, get back to your desks.
00:55:35Lucas, come to my office for a minute.
00:55:43Lucas, the Solid State Battery Development Project has been going for over half a year now.
00:55:47Why isn't there any progress at all?
00:55:49What are you even doing here?
00:55:51Mr. Vernon, do you really think this project is easy?
00:55:54You keep refusing to approve the project budget.
00:55:56Without funding, how can we buy materials, run experiments, or do any R&D?
00:56:00Enough. Stop bringing up money all the time.
00:56:03The company already pays you a salary.
00:56:05We handed you this project, so you need to deliver results.
00:56:09Otherwise, why is the company paying you?
00:56:11Fine.
00:56:12I really can't do this job.
00:56:15Go find someone else.
00:56:17Threatening me with your resignation?
00:56:18Not at all. I just honestly don't want to do this anymore.
00:56:22You want to leave?
00:56:23That's fine.
00:56:24Then forget all your bonuses and commissions from earlier this year.
00:56:28Consider they're gone.
00:56:29Also, half of your salary for this month will be deducted.
00:56:33Why?
00:56:35Because I'm your supervisor.
00:56:37What's the matter?
00:56:38Not satisfied?
00:56:39If you don't like it, take it up with HR.
00:56:41Or sue me.
00:56:42You!
00:56:43Lucas, I'm warning you.
00:56:45Either you stay and finish the projects you're working on,
00:56:48or you take me to court.
00:56:50I'm not afraid of your threats.
00:56:52I've got plenty of time.
00:56:54Get out.
00:57:04No way.
00:57:06Have to quit.
00:57:07Or everything I worked for before will be wasted.
00:57:11Plus, Micah's probably almost ready on his end, too.
00:57:15Ding!
00:57:15Good luck.
00:57:16Intel has arrived for the day.
00:57:18Would you like to receive it?
00:57:20System, you're just in time.
00:57:22Let's see what kind of news might work out in my favor.
00:57:29He traded company confidential files to get paid for it.
00:57:37Well, Jeffrey, so you've been secretly selling company confidential files.
00:57:42No wonder lately he's been buying luxury cars and mansions.
00:57:59Mr. Lewis, why did you pick this place?
00:58:02Isn't that VP of the competitor company?
00:58:05What if someone from your company finds out about this?
00:58:07Relax, Mr. Lewis.
00:58:09It's work hours right now.
00:58:10No one's going to show up.
00:58:12Plus, the riskier the spot, the safer it actually is.
00:58:24Nice job.
00:58:34Thank you, Mr. Lew.
00:58:35Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
00:58:37Let's pick a different location next time.
00:58:39This place just doesn't feel safe to me.
00:59:05Wow.
00:59:07I didn't expect just a simple project report could get me this much money.
00:59:12Making money is easy.
00:59:16Lucas, what are you doing?
00:59:18Who let you in here?
00:59:21Mr. Vernon.
00:59:23I'm here to resign.
00:59:25Resign?
00:59:26Fine by me.
00:59:27Get out now.
00:59:29I'd like you to make sure my bonus, performance pay, and full salary are all paid to me.
00:59:35Otherwise...
00:59:35You want the whole thing?
00:59:37Keep dreaming.
00:59:38Didn't I tell you already?
00:59:40If you want to leave, I'm not giving you a single cent.
00:59:44All right.
00:59:46Then, Mr. Vernon, why don't you take a look at this first?
00:59:51Wait.
00:59:52You followed me?
00:59:54Mr. Vernon, you sold the company's confidential files.
00:59:58According to industry rules, the best case scenario is you get blacklisted.
01:00:02Worst case, you're going to jail, Mr. Vernon.
01:00:05What makes you think that's a confidential company document?
01:00:08Where's your proof?
01:00:09If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Mr. Lewis, VP from our competitor, right?
01:00:14Why would he give you such a huge box of cash?
01:00:16That's tough to figure out.
01:00:18Maybe I should look into it.
01:00:20Send it to the boss first.
01:00:21Let him analyze it for me.
01:00:22No, no, no.
01:00:24Lucas, please.
01:00:25No, wait.
01:00:26Mr. Hart, please.
01:00:27Mr. Hart, please.
01:00:28Let's talk this out.
01:00:29Let's talk, okay?
01:00:31Whatever you want, I'll go along with it.
01:00:32I'm not asking for much.
01:00:34Just want my bonus, performance pay, and every penny of my salary.
01:00:38Also, once I leave, don't make things difficult for my team.
01:00:42Sure, of course.
01:00:43Your bonus and commission will be paid in full.
01:00:45I'll double it.
01:00:46I'll pay double.
01:00:47Don't worry.
01:00:48After you go, I won't trouble your people anymore.
01:00:51You can relax, okay?
01:00:52Relax.
01:00:53Then I really appreciate it, Mr. Vernon.
01:00:55It's only right.
01:00:56Only right.
01:00:57About that video.
01:00:59Won't send it to the boss.
01:01:01After all, the boss has always liked having you around to kiss up.
01:01:05But I won't delete it either.
01:01:07Once my bonus, performance pay, and salary are all in my account, then we'll talk.
01:01:13All right, all right.
01:01:14Fine, fine.
01:01:15Let me walk you out.
01:01:18Don't worry.
01:01:19Your performance pay and bonus will definitely get to you.
01:01:30What's going on?
01:01:31I have no idea.
01:01:34All right.
01:01:38Mr. Hart, don't forget our agreement.
01:01:44What are you staring at?
01:01:46Get back to work.
01:01:47Now!
01:01:49You were tasked to find the solid-state battery development team.
01:01:54Why is there still no update?
01:01:58Ms. Miles, we reached out to that team.
01:02:01They're not selling their patents, and they don't want to join our company either.
01:02:05They won't sell?
01:02:06Why not?
01:02:07Is it because our offer was too low?
01:02:09No.
01:02:09We already offered six million dollars.
01:02:11They said they plan on starting their own company to work on R&D.
01:02:15But they did mention they'd be open to possibly partnering with us in the future.
01:02:19That's just a small team.
01:02:21Yet they're managing a project we can't.
01:02:23Even get right with a company this big.
01:02:25How does that make sense?
01:02:28Say something.
01:02:35Meeting adjourned.
01:02:44Did Ms. Miles just smile earlier?
01:02:46I think so.
01:02:47I've never seen Ms. Miles smile in a meeting before.
01:02:51Is she seriously seeing someone?
01:02:53No way.
01:02:55What kind of amazing guy could actually handle Ms. Miles?
01:02:58But if it's true, then I hope they stay together forever.
01:03:01That way my work days might actually get easier.
01:03:04Okay.
01:03:11Hello?
01:03:12Hey Aurora.
01:03:14It's me.
01:03:16Hope I'm not interrupting work.
01:03:17No.
01:03:18What's up?
01:03:20Just got to your place.
01:03:21Using the address you gave me.
01:03:22I'm making some soup and dinner for you.
01:03:25Wanted to check when you'll be home.
01:03:27So I know when to start cooking.
01:03:29Soon.
01:03:29I'll probably be home around 20.30.
01:03:33Alright.
01:03:35Then I'll finish up dinner and wait for you to get back.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:37Sounds good.
01:03:47Ding dong.
01:03:53Urgent intel.
01:03:55Check now.
01:03:58Serial rapist and murderer will appear in Suncrest Gardens.
01:04:06A reward of $100,000.
01:04:09That's a lot of money.
01:04:11Forget it.
01:04:13That serial rapist and murderer is way too dangerous.
01:04:16Better call the police.
01:04:20Hello.
01:04:21Hi.
01:04:22I need to report a crime.
01:04:28Pull over here.
01:04:29It's way too dark up ahead.
01:04:31I should take you home.
01:04:33No way.
01:04:34If he sees me, my cover's blown.
01:04:36It's not far from the complex now.
01:04:38You should go back.
01:04:39Alright.
01:04:40Ms. Miles.
01:04:41Stay safe.
01:04:42Yeah.
01:04:42Okay.
01:05:09Why won't she answer the phone?
01:05:12Okay.
01:05:17System.
01:05:18Here.
01:05:19Repeat the urgent intel just now.
01:05:21Okay.
01:05:26Serial rapist and murderer.
01:05:28Capture him and receive an official reward.
01:05:30The reward is $100,000.
01:05:32Suncrest Gardens?
01:05:35But this is Suncrest Gardens.
01:05:382020.
01:05:41Crap.
01:05:47Bitch.
01:05:48You're feistier than I thought.
01:05:50The more you scream, the more it gets me going.
01:05:54You want money, huh?
01:05:56How much do you want?
01:05:57I can give you whatever you need.
01:05:58Money?
01:05:59Of course I want it.
01:06:01But right now, I want you even more.
01:06:08Aurora!
01:06:14Aurora!
01:06:16Aurora!
01:06:17Where are you?
01:06:19Aurora, where are you?
01:06:34Help!
01:06:35Help!
01:06:37Help!
01:06:42Bitch!
01:06:43You really had the guts to kick me there.
01:06:46Don't come any closer.
01:06:47I'm CEO of Miles Enterprise Group, Aurora Miles.
01:06:50If you leave right now, I won't press charges against you.
01:06:53But if you stay, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life locked up behind bars.
01:06:57Trying to scare me?
01:07:00I've got a few bodies on me.
01:07:02One more won't make a difference.
01:07:04If I get caught, it's a death sentence.
01:07:07You think I get the chance to go to prison?
01:07:09You think you can still scare me?
01:07:12You want money, right?
01:07:13I can give you.
01:07:14Two hundred thousand dollars or two million dollars.
01:07:17I can give you whatever you want.
01:07:19Money doesn't matter to me anymore.
01:07:22Just enough to get by is fine.
01:07:25Right now.
01:07:27I want to taste what it's like to have the boss.
01:07:40Aurora, where are you?
01:07:42Aurora!
01:07:44Lucas!
01:07:46Lucas!
01:07:55Don't say anything.
01:07:56If you say one more word, I swear I'll stab you.
01:08:06Why do I hear Aurora's voice?
01:08:09Am I hearing things?
01:08:15That's better.
01:08:16Just cooperate.
01:08:18It's good for both of us.
01:08:22Come on.
01:08:25Next.
01:08:26Let me enjoy this for a while.
01:08:33Aurora!
01:08:34Aurora!
01:08:35Aurora!
01:08:35Are you okay?
01:08:38Lucas, I'm so scared.
01:08:42I'm so scared.
01:08:44It's over.
01:08:45It's over.
01:08:49Be careful.
01:08:57Are you okay?
01:08:59I'm fine.
01:09:00Don't be scared.
01:09:02I didn't plan on killing anyone originally.
01:09:05You guys just had to push me.
01:09:08Oscar Carroll, don't do anything crazy.
01:09:10You're surrounded now.
01:09:12My partner will be here any minute.
01:09:14You're a cop?
01:09:15That's right.
01:09:16Put down your weapon and come back to the station with me.
01:09:20I can count this as you turning yourself in.
01:09:23Turning myself in?
01:09:24Would I even stand a chance?
01:09:26Before I die, might as well take down a cop with me.
01:09:33Don't move.
01:09:34Freeze.
01:09:34Move again and I'll shoot.
01:09:37Go.
01:09:42Captain, his identity confirmed.
01:09:44It's Oscar Carroll.
01:09:45Take him away.
01:09:47Behave yourself.
01:09:48Move.
01:09:49Are you all okay?
01:09:50We're fine.
01:09:52It's our duty.
01:09:53Let's exchange contact info.
01:09:55We might need your assistance to...
