00:00:30This is my wife, Hannah Cain.
00:00:33Mr. Cain's wife?
00:00:34No, that's impossible.
00:00:36She's his mistress.
00:00:37Get that trash out of here with the wooden gala.
00:00:39Kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
00:00:42No, the one begging will be you.
00:00:47A bunch of cowards.
00:00:50There are people who are unworthy of meeting.
00:00:53Don't ruin my mood.
00:00:55I came here to take back everything that's mine.
00:01:00So this is who you really are.
00:01:01That can't be.
00:01:03Chairwoman, Hannah.
00:01:05Xena Group's first domestic investment will go to Keenan Street.
00:01:09That was my decision as chairwoman.
00:01:18Move it!
00:01:19Ms. Sinclair's plane just landed.
00:01:23Welcome back, Ms. Sinclair.
00:01:28Ethan and I have been married for seven years.
00:01:30Three of them I spent on my own, working and supporting him.
00:01:34Now I'm back.
00:01:35Today's an important day for Ethan.
00:01:37He needs me.
00:01:37Ethan gave this car to me years ago.
00:01:40It's time I drive it back and reveal to him who I really am.
00:01:43I've been funding his studies, supporting everything.
00:01:46I'm the CEO of Xena Group.
00:01:48He's going to be so surprised.
00:01:56Are you crazy?
00:01:58Slow down!
00:01:59Do you have any idea how much this car costs?
00:02:01Do you have the cash to fix it if you scratch it?
00:02:04Yes.
00:02:10You're the one who can't see straight.
00:02:12Now get out of the way.
00:02:15Apologies for Sinclair.
00:02:16That's all right.
00:02:17How did our arrangement go?
00:02:18Oh, perfect.
00:02:19We've secured a position for your husband, Ethan, at Kane Industries.
00:02:22Big reception tonight.
00:02:24Lots of press, lots of dignitaries.
00:02:26Everyone's wanting to meet Ethan Cole, Prince Valedictorian and holder of multiple doctorates.
00:02:32Excellent.
00:02:33I knew you'd handle it.
00:02:34Please send the gifts I prepared to the banquet hall.
00:02:36Of course, ma'am.
00:03:04You're the CEO of Kane Industries.
00:03:06What are the odds?
00:03:08Wasn't expecting that, huh?
00:03:10Your turn.
00:03:10Who are you?
00:03:12Oh, I'm Hannah.
00:03:13I dropped out of high school and worked overseas for a few years.
00:03:17I don't have a lot of things here, but that's fine.
00:03:21Dropped out of high school and yet you worked overseas?
00:03:24Was that even legal?
00:03:26You're not wrong.
00:03:27I was undocumented for a while, but...
00:03:29Okay, whatever.
00:03:30I don't have time for stories.
00:03:31Let's go.
00:03:31Go?
00:03:32Where?
00:03:32Did you get married?
00:03:33Get married?
00:03:35Get married?
00:03:37Relax.
00:03:39You paid 10 grand a month, just as we agreed.
00:03:41If we divorce within three years, you get a lump payment of $1 million.
00:03:46Okay, hold on.
00:03:47I think you've got the wrong person.
00:03:49I'm already married.
00:03:51And he'll be here any minute.
00:03:53No.
00:03:58I'm sorry.
00:03:59What's the mistake in you, Phil?
00:04:00Someone else.
00:04:05Yeah?
00:04:06Sir, urgent situation.
00:04:07A hedge fund just dumped all their shares in our AI division.
00:04:10The market's tanking and we lost hundreds of millions.
00:04:13What?
00:04:13We were just about to close that deal with Xena Group.
00:04:15If we take a hit to our credibility now, we're finished.
00:04:18Sell the division before it tanks the entire company.
00:04:21That's the project you've built from scratch.
00:04:23It's too valuable to dump now.
00:04:25I know.
00:04:26But if Xena Group pulls out, I lose control of the company to my grandmother.
00:04:30Sell it now.
00:04:31Calm down.
00:04:33I might not be able to marry you, but I can help you.
00:04:38Don't sell.
00:04:39Not yet.
00:04:41Something big's about to happen, and when it does, you'll thank me.
00:04:47What are you talking about?
00:04:48I just got back from overseas.
00:04:50I picked up some intel out of everyone else.
00:04:52In about five, no, four minutes, the U.S. government is about to announce a massive tech
00:04:59deal.
00:04:59When the second it hits, your company's stock will skyrocket.
00:05:05That's nonsense.
00:05:06I pay an entire team of people millions to make sure I know these things.
00:05:10How do you know something that I don't?
00:05:11My source is solid.
00:05:14Just hold off for a few minutes.
00:05:18Look, I am late.
00:05:20Don't make a move you will regret.
00:05:25Ridiculous.
00:05:26She thinks she is to tell me what to do.
00:05:29Secret intel or a joke.
00:05:32Who is that woman?
00:05:33She sounds different from the usual women who approach you.
00:05:36Anyway, do we go ahead with the sale?
00:05:40No.
00:05:42Hold off.
00:05:43Let's see if what she says does come true.
00:05:46If she was lying, I'll make her regret it.
00:05:54Victoria!
00:05:58Victoria!
00:05:58Victoria!
00:05:59Victoria!
00:06:00Victoria!
00:06:00Victoria!
00:06:02Why did you just slap me?
00:06:09Stay away from my son.
00:06:12What makes you think you belong anywhere near our family?
00:06:17Makes me not good enough.
00:06:18Tonight is Ethan's welcome dinner for his new job.
00:06:23The room will be filled with people that really matter.
00:06:26CEOs, investors, world-class professionals.
00:06:29Do you think it would show up with you?
00:06:32A high school dropout?
00:06:34Who took under-the-counter jobs overseas?
00:06:40Victoria.
00:06:42I was the one who planned that party.
00:06:44Every single detail.
00:06:47What's next?
00:06:48You got in the job too.
00:06:51Yes, I did.
00:06:52Kane Industries hired, Ethan, because I made it happen.
00:06:56Stop it.
00:06:57Just stop it, Hannah.
00:07:01I didn't even want to see you today.
00:07:03You've taken this way too far.
00:07:05Do you even know who Tyler Kane is?
00:07:08Kane Industries isn't some small business you can just walk into.
00:07:11It's the biggest corporation in the country.
00:07:14You wouldn't even make it in the door.
00:07:19It's for the seven years that I wasted.
00:07:22Take it.
00:07:24And walk away.
00:07:31Five minutes passed and nothing changed.
00:07:34Guess I really am losing my mind.
00:07:36Yeah, it's me.
00:07:38Yes, sir.
00:07:39About the project.
00:07:40Do what I said earlier.
00:07:42Excuse me, sir?
00:07:43We're following breaking news out of Washington.
00:07:46The White House has just announced a multi-billion dollar initiative to boost U.S. production of AI chips and
00:07:51systems.
00:07:51Markets are already reacting and experts say this could reshape the entire technology.
00:07:55She was right.
00:07:56Who the hell is she?
00:08:01You still don't get it, do you?
00:08:02You're not my wife anymore.
00:08:04What are you talking about?
00:08:06The divorce went through weeks ago.
00:08:08Did you really think I was going to wait?
00:08:10It's not possible.
00:08:11I never signed anything.
00:08:12You didn't need to.
00:08:14I had the paperwork taken care of.
00:08:16Really, you should be thanking me.
00:08:18I made it clean for you.
00:08:20Ethan.
00:08:23How could you do this to me?
00:08:26Did you forget everything I did for you?
00:08:28I pulled out of college for you so you could go overseas.
00:08:31Every dollar I made over there, I sent to you.
00:08:34Nobody asked you to do that.
00:08:37You chose to.
00:08:39My son didn't ask for your sacrifices.
00:08:41That money you sent was nothing.
00:08:44I didn't get here because of you.
00:08:46I got here because someone truly helped me.
00:08:49Who?
00:08:49You know Xena Group, right?
00:08:51Well, the CEO came out of nowhere and built the biggest financial company in the world from nothing.
00:08:57She's the type of woman who changes everything just from touching it.
00:09:00And she's my sponsor.
00:09:02That's me.
00:09:05She sponsored my studies, covered my research, all of it.
00:09:09I owe her everything.
00:09:11She even said that she's coming to the welcome party tonight.
00:09:14So I plan on thanking her in person.
00:09:16The CEO of Xena Group is young, beautiful, and single.
00:09:21I think she's got a hotspot for you.
00:09:23Now I get it.
00:09:25You're trading up.
00:09:26That's what this is.
00:09:27I want what you want, but I'm not going to deny it.
00:09:29Let's be real, Anna.
00:09:31I like a strong, capable woman.
00:09:33Someone that can stand by me, not someone who's so stupid and naive.
00:09:37Ethan Cole, I finally see who you are.
00:09:43I'll be at that party tonight.
00:09:45And when the truth comes out, we'll see who regrets what.
00:09:49Regret.
00:09:50Leaving you is the best thing I've ever done.
00:09:53And don't regret it later.
00:09:55From now on, you're strangers.
00:09:58Gladly.
00:09:59Thanks for making it so easy.
00:10:00Such confidence.
00:10:02For someone who doesn't belong in our world.
00:10:04Let's go, darling.
00:10:06Let's get you something nice to wear tonight.
00:10:07To impress the CEO.
00:10:09Seven years.
00:10:11I loved him for seven years, and this is how it ends.
00:10:14Ethan Cole, I can't wait to see your face tonight.
00:10:17When you find out who I really am.
00:10:22I'm sorry, I couldn't help but overhear.
00:10:25I pulled you out of a crisis, didn't I?
00:10:27And you just come here and mocked me?
00:10:28Well, I thought you might have had some potential.
00:10:31But after seeing you like this, maybe it was just luck.
00:10:33Luck?
00:10:34I saved you, didn't I?
00:10:35You're right.
00:10:37I owe you one.
00:10:38So I'm going to offer you something in return.
00:10:40A chance to marry me.
00:10:42Excuse me?
00:10:44My husband just left me.
00:10:45You want to talk about marriage?
00:10:47Oh, don't tell me.
00:10:49You believe in love at first sight.
00:10:54You really are full of yourself, aren't you?
00:10:58Look, I'm just trying to help.
00:11:00The choice is yours.
00:11:02Show up tonight, with me as my wife, and give your ex a taste of his own medicine.
00:11:07That's an interesting offer.
00:11:09Well, I'm single now, and you're not exactly hard to look at.
00:11:14Alright, let's do it.
00:11:17I promise, as long as you're my husband, I'll protect you.
00:11:21Protect me?
00:11:23Do you know who I am, right?
00:11:24You'll see.
00:11:26Whatever comes your way, I'll handle it.
00:11:30And I'll just protect anyone.
00:11:32Well then, remember this.
00:11:35I'm not like him.
00:11:39Don't get cocky now.
00:11:42You're trying to get an investment in Xenucle, right?
00:11:46I can help.
00:11:48If you send your project proposal to Xenucle,
00:11:50I can promise at least $15 billion in funding.
00:11:57Do you even know how much money $15 billion is?
00:12:02We'll secure the funding from Xenucle, but $1.5 billion is enough.
00:12:06And for the record,
00:12:08a little bit more goes into this than just sending over some paperwork.
00:12:12Trust me.
00:12:13You've got nothing to lose, right?
00:12:18I'll trust you one more time.
00:12:20You won't regret it.
00:12:24Yeah, it's me.
00:12:26Send over the data from the AI project to Xenucle.
00:12:30There.
00:12:31It's done.
00:12:33Now come on.
00:12:35We've been waiting to finalize.
00:12:45To the party, my love.
00:12:48All right, Mr. Kane.
00:13:04I have a few things I need to handle.
00:13:07Take a look around.
00:13:08I'll come find you once I'm finished and introduce you to people.
00:13:10Go ahead.
00:13:11I'll be fine.
00:13:23Youngest Princeton Valedictorian.
00:13:26Multiple doctorates.
00:13:28It's an honor, really.
00:13:31I heard Tyler Kane personally recruited you.
00:13:34$10 million salary.
00:13:35That is impressive.
00:13:36Mr. Kane may actually turn up tonight.
00:13:39Everyone is saying it's because of you.
00:13:41You are on the fast track, Ethan.
00:13:43Once you've caught Mr. Kane's attention, success is guaranteed.
00:13:48Mr. Kong, remember us when you make it to the top.
00:13:51A few favors go a long way.
00:13:52You're all too kind.
00:13:54Actually, tonight's even more special than that.
00:13:57I've got a very special guest coming.
00:14:04Excuse me for a moment.
00:14:10Did you sneak in here?
00:14:14Watch your tone, Ethan.
00:14:15I didn't sneak in.
00:14:17I walked through the front door like everyone else.
00:14:19You?
00:14:21Oh, please.
00:14:22This is Kane Industries' event for my son.
00:14:26Everyone here is someone important.
00:14:28What makes you think you belong here to hang on to him again?
00:14:32Hannah, you said it yourself.
00:14:34We're strangers now, so stop embarrassing yourself.
00:14:37Ethan Cole, stop overreacting.
00:14:40The host of this party is Tyler Kane, not you.
00:14:44Why are you making a seat?
00:14:45Enough!
00:14:46You're an embarrassment.
00:14:48This event was organized for me.
00:14:50Princeton Valedictorian.
00:14:52By Tyler Kane himself.
00:14:54A high school dropout like you doesn't belong anywhere near this room.
00:14:58So that's it.
00:15:00Education makes you superior.
00:15:02Hmm.
00:15:03Of course.
00:15:04This room is full of people who actually matter.
00:15:06So stop wasting everyone's time and do yourself a favor and leave before we make you.
00:15:14What's going on here?
00:15:16Who's causing trouble for Mr. Cole and his mother?
00:15:21Miss Vail, perfect timing.
00:15:23I know your hotel partnered with Kane Industries for this event, but security here clearly needs tightening.
00:15:30An uninvited guest just walked right on end.
00:15:33How did someone like you even get through the doors?
00:15:38Don't worry.
00:15:39I'll take care of it.
00:15:40Tell me, sweetheart.
00:15:42Whose bed did you crawl out of to get through those doors?
00:15:45I told you.
00:15:46I came in Theron Square.
00:15:48Theron Square.
00:15:50Then where's your invitation?
00:15:51I didn't need one.
00:15:52I came here with Mr. Kane.
00:15:56Enough already, Hannah.
00:15:58Do you even know who Tyler Kane is?
00:16:00He's the CEO of Kane Industries.
00:16:02The biggest corporation in the country.
00:16:04And you, a dropout, who worked overseas under the table.
00:16:09You should be embarrassed.
00:16:18Sir, we checked everything.
00:16:20What did you find?
00:16:22We reached out to our international contacts,
00:16:24pulled records from offshore networks across more than 100 countries.
00:16:28There's nothing.
00:16:29No trace of a Hannah Sinclair anywhere.
00:16:31So my new wifey has no digital footprint.
00:16:34Either she's a ghost, or she knows exactly how to cover her tracks.
00:16:38Interesting.
00:16:39Could she be hiding something?
00:16:41Maybe she has an agenda.
00:16:44Maybe she does.
00:16:46But whatever she was before, she's my wife now.
00:16:48Let's go.
00:16:49I shouldn't keep a lady waiting.
00:16:57I'm close with Tyler Kane.
00:16:59You, on the other hand, haven't even signed your contract yet.
00:17:03Acting like you're already the star?
00:17:05You really think you're that special?
00:17:08How dare you talk like that?
00:17:10Do you have any idea who Mr. Cole is?
00:17:13Mr. Kane recruited him.
00:17:15Oh, really?
00:17:16Mr. Kane was that impressed with you?
00:17:22Of course.
00:17:23Do you know how much effort they put into hiring Mr. Cole?
00:17:28They even offered him one of the best contracts in the entire company.
00:17:32They even have a Mont Blanc Centennial Limited Edition waiting for him.
00:17:37Oh, my apologies.
00:17:40I forgot.
00:17:41Someone of your level probably doesn't know what that is.
00:17:44I'll flash no substance.
00:17:45If I wanted any of those things, Tyler Kane would bring them to me himself.
00:17:49I'm just not interested in that kind of showy nonsense.
00:17:52Oh, you are unbelievable.
00:17:55You know what I can't stand the most?
00:17:57People who have nothing acting like they have everything.
00:18:02Mr. Kane himself?
00:18:03Who do you think you are throwing his name around like that?
00:18:06Ms. Vale is right.
00:18:08You have absolutely no shame.
00:18:10First you cling on to my son, and now you're using the CEO's name to get attention.
00:18:15When Mr. Kane arrives, he'll put you in your place.
00:18:19Anna, enough already.
00:18:20When the truth comes out and everyone sees what you've done, don't come running to me for help.
00:18:24Get your hands off me.
00:18:26You're so confident right now, Ethan Cole.
00:18:29But when Tyler Kane gets here, the one who's going to look like a fool won't be me.
00:18:33Oh, you've got some nerve.
00:18:35After everything, you still don't understand how extraordinary Mr. Cole is.
00:18:40And now, you're tossing around Mr. Kane's name like you know him.
00:18:45You're digging your own grave, sweetheart.
00:18:48There's no talking sense into someone like you.
00:18:55Are you out of your mind?
00:18:57Do you know what type of place this is?
00:18:59Stop making a scene.
00:19:02You stayed quiet when she tried to hit me, but the second I defend myself, now I'm the problem.
00:19:07You think I'm a joke now because you've had a taste of success.
00:19:11Unbelievable.
00:19:12That's your standard, Ethan Cole.
00:19:14That's enough.
00:19:16This is Miss Vail's hotel.
00:19:18And this event was organized by Kane Industries for my son.
00:19:21You don't belong here.
00:19:23If Miss Vail hits you, you should be grateful she saw you.
00:19:26How dare you fight back?
00:19:28Like mother, like son.
00:19:30You both have a real gift for causing scenes.
00:19:33Shut your mouth.
00:19:34If I were you, I would leave now.
00:19:36You are dragging this event down.
00:19:37Do you think anyone wants you to be here?
00:19:39She's right.
00:19:41Get that woman out of here before Mr. Kane arrives.
00:19:43A woman like that has no business here.
00:19:46This is a gathering for the top 1%.
00:19:49Even the service, they're handpicked.
00:19:51You need to remember where you stand, lady.
00:19:54Walk out now while we're still being polite.
00:19:57No, she's just a stalker.
00:20:00Mr. Cole was too polite to tell her off.
00:20:02And now she thinks she's someone important.
00:20:04As if someone like Mr. Cole, Tyler Kane's prodigy, would ever go for someone like you.
00:20:10That's pathetic.
00:20:12Here.
00:20:14Take a cab home.
00:20:16You're embarrassing yourself.
00:20:27I guess I gave you all too much credit.
00:20:35You're all just fawning over Ethan Cole, hoping to get close to Tyler Kane.
00:20:39Now I understand.
00:20:40The reason Tyler Kane climbed to the top so fast isn't just because he's a genius.
00:20:45People like you handed him the throne.
00:20:47Who do you think you are?
00:20:49Tyler Kane is the top of the company's business world.
00:20:52There's nothing wrong with showing respect.
00:20:55You've been running your mouth about him, Kane Industries, all night.
00:21:00When he walks in, you'll be the one begging.
00:21:03No.
00:21:04The one begging will be you.
00:21:07Have you completely lost your mind?
00:21:08I get it.
00:21:10You're humiliated because I dumped you.
00:21:12But this little tantrum, it's pathetic.
00:21:13You've always been crude.
00:21:15And you've always been small.
00:21:17I tried to pull you up the top with me.
00:21:19But you showed your true colors before you even signed your first deal.
00:21:22You were never built for the top.
00:21:24You still don't get it, do you?
00:21:26You will never be anything but a nobody.
00:21:29A few days from now, you'll be serving drinks at some cheap bar.
00:21:33That's your level, Hannah.
00:21:34The top is for people like me.
00:21:37Just wait.
00:21:39You'll pay for throwing away seven years like they were nothing.
00:21:45Sir, we ran into some trouble tracing Mrs. Kane's background.
00:21:48A few of our sources suddenly went dark.
00:21:51Really?
00:21:52She gets more interesting by the minute.
00:21:54Let's go.
00:21:58Sooner or later, you'll pay for tossing aside seven years like they meant nothing.
00:22:02You think I don't know about your past?
00:22:05Everyone knows you were working overseas doing under-the-table jobs.
00:22:12I can imagine exactly how you survived that.
00:22:14You'll never get past that.
00:22:16Wake up.
00:22:17Your cruelty is something else, Ethan.
00:22:19Yes, thanks to you, I left school.
00:22:23Yes, I worked overseas.
00:22:25I did what I had to do.
00:22:26I pulled myself back up from nothing and you had every head start.
00:22:31You only know money and status.
00:22:34That is going to be your downside.
00:22:36Shut up.
00:22:37I'm done listening to this.
00:22:39Tonight is my night.
00:22:41Know your place.
00:22:43What right do you even have to stand here?
00:22:45Tyler Kane will be here soon.
00:22:46Then you'll see exactly what pride I have to stand here.
00:22:50I hope you can keep your cool when that happens.
00:22:54Hannah, haven't you caused enough trouble?
00:22:56I know you're not very well educated.
00:22:58I don't know how the world actually works, but do you really think you could survive the fallout
00:23:02causing a scene at a Kane Industries event?
00:23:04You're something else, Ethan.
00:23:06Let me make one thing clear.
00:23:08There's nothing in this world I can't handle.
00:23:13You, you're only standing here because I'm allowing it.
00:23:17One word from me and security will throw you out like garbage.
00:23:21Are you threatening me?
00:23:23After everything I did for you.
00:23:26God, I must have been so blind.
00:23:29Seven years wasted on a man like you.
00:23:32This is your last chance.
00:23:34Leave now quietly and I'll forget this ever happened.
00:23:37But if you keep pushing...
00:23:39If I keep pushing you, what?
00:23:40Then your little sob story and our seven years will mean nothing.
00:23:44Tonight is about me, so don't ruin it.
00:23:47Don't worry.
00:23:48I will make it seem to me.
00:23:59I didn't come here to create trouble.
00:24:05I came here to take back everything.
00:24:10That's mine.
00:24:17You crazy bitch.
00:24:19This tore up my son's contract.
00:24:21Security!
00:24:22You've completely lost it.
00:24:24Don't blame me for what happens next.
00:24:26This is enough.
00:24:27Miss Bale, get her out of here now.
00:24:30Security!
00:24:31You heard her.
00:24:32Do it!
00:24:39Stop!
00:24:58Welcome, Mr. Kane.
00:25:00It's an honor.
00:25:02You should have left when I told you to.
00:25:04Now that Mr. Kane is here, you're finished.
00:25:07You'll be the one disappointed, Victoria.
00:25:09Still talking when you're about to be exposed.
00:25:12Apologize now, and maybe I'll let it go.
00:25:15Apologize for what?
00:25:16This is your last chance.
00:25:18Know your place and say you're sorry.
00:25:21You're wrong, Ethan.
00:25:23What goes around comes around.
00:25:25I may have started for nothing,
00:25:27but tonight, in this room,
00:25:32I'm the most important person here.
00:25:36What's going on here?
00:25:37Mr. Kane, sorry to bother you.
00:25:40There was a disruption.
00:25:41An uninvited guest slipped through.
00:25:44It was completely disrespectful to you.
00:25:46An uninvited guest?
00:25:50Who?
00:25:53Sir.
00:25:55It's my son's fault, really.
00:25:57My son is outstanding.
00:25:59And this shameless woman refuses to let go.
00:26:02She's been obsessed with him for years.
00:26:04She snuck in tonight
00:26:06and tore up his contract with Kane Industries.
00:26:09She tore up the contract?
00:26:10Yes, sir.
00:26:12She's even been claiming to be my wife,
00:26:14saying that I owe her for some help in the past.
00:26:17And the chief calls the big scene
00:26:18and tore up the contract.
00:26:20She even used your name to justify it.
00:26:23It's most disrespectful.
00:26:26She's claiming to be your wife.
00:26:34Miss Bale's team was about to have their staff remove her.
00:26:38We didn't expect you to arrive so soon, Mr. Kane.
00:26:40We apologize for this scene, sir.
00:26:42It's on us.
00:26:43Well, then, it looks like my timing is perfect.
00:26:47We'll have her removed right away.
00:26:50You've got some nerve.
00:26:52I'll give you that.
00:26:55Good thing you're into bold women, then.
00:26:57Are you insane?
00:26:58Do you know who you're talking to?
00:27:00Floating with Mr. Kane in front of everyone.
00:27:03Shameless!
00:27:04Ignorance is bliss, huh?
00:27:06She'll learn soon what that attitude is going to cost.
00:27:09Yeah, some people only understand reality
00:27:11when it smacks them in the face.
00:27:14I'd say Mr. Kane
00:27:18can't keep you eyes off me.
00:27:21I'd say it's completely smitten, don't you think?
00:27:23You've got a lot of nerve.
00:27:25It's about time someone teach you some manners.
00:27:34What the hell are you doing?
00:27:36Who said you could lay a hand on her?
00:27:40Don't tell me Mr. Kane is taking her side.
00:27:42Look at him.
00:27:44He's furious.
00:27:45Don't you dare feel sorry for that girl?
00:27:47We dodged a bullet when we broke up with her.
00:27:50Hannah, I gave you a chance.
00:27:52You're the one who threw it away.
00:27:54So don't blame me for what happens next.
00:28:06Allow me to make something very clear.
00:28:12This is my wife.
00:28:15Hannah Kane.
00:28:27Dad, who are these gifts for?
00:28:30These are gifts chosen by the chairwoman of the Xena Group herself.
00:28:34Wait.
00:28:35The chairwoman of Xena Group?
00:28:37Who's the guy lucky enough to marry her?
00:28:40And did she pick out these gifts herself?
00:28:43Well, naturally.
00:28:44For the man she loves the most.
00:28:46Now be a good girl and take those down to the banquet, would you?
00:28:49Oh, and do make a good impression on the chairwoman.
00:28:52You got it, Dad.
00:28:55This is my wife.
00:28:57Hannah Kane.
00:28:59Mr. Kane's wife?
00:29:02No.
00:29:03No, that's impossible.
00:29:04How could Tyler Kane, the Tyler Kane, marry someone like her?
00:29:11Sorry I was late, honey.
00:29:13You actually have perfect timing.
00:29:15If you'd come earlier, I wouldn't have seen how arrogant these people are.
00:29:19Or how easily my ex-husband threw me away.
00:29:22That's bold.
00:29:24There must be some mistake.
00:29:26She didn't even finish high school.
00:29:28How could someone like you marry her?
00:29:30Mr. Kane, you're at the top of the world.
00:29:32And she's nothing.
00:29:34Ethan Cole, you're the youngest valedictorian from Princeton, right?
00:29:38Multiple doctorates.
00:29:39Mr. Cole was our top prospect this year.
00:29:42HR even offered an unprecedented salary of a million dollars to bring him in.
00:29:46Mr. Kane, I say this as a man of integrity.
00:29:49This woman is not worthy of you.
00:29:51She'll only drag down your name.
00:29:53Is that so?
00:29:54Then I have you to thank for all of this entertainment.
00:29:58Not at all, sir.
00:29:59I'm just telling you the truth.
00:30:01No.
00:30:01You really don't get it.
00:30:03If you hadn't carelessly thrown away those seven years, I would never have met my incredible wife.
00:30:08Sir, you don't understand at all.
00:30:09She's nothing but a loud, unrefined, talentless woman.
00:30:13There's no way she'd make a good wife for you.
00:30:15So that's what I was to you all this time.
00:30:17I gave up everything for you, Ethan.
00:30:20I waited, worked, and sacrificed seven years of my life.
00:30:25And this is what I get.
00:30:26Without me, you wouldn't even be standing here tonight.
00:30:30Don't flatter yourself.
00:30:32You were just desperate for attention.
00:30:34Everything you did, you did for yourself.
00:30:36I don't owe you anything.
00:30:38Listen carefully.
00:30:40The reason you, Ethan Cole, have this fancy degree, this title, and this job,
00:30:46is because of me.
00:30:49Because of you.
00:30:50Please.
00:30:51It took my brilliance, not your pocket change.
00:30:55My research is worth more than you ever see in your life.
00:30:58My achievements came because of the chairwoman of Xenocleak, not you.
00:31:05At your level, I wouldn't have you as a maid in the house.
00:31:09You were nothing but a burden.
00:31:10If you hadn't have clung to Ethan all those years,
00:31:13he would have been making millions by now.
00:31:16So what you're saying is, his current salary isn't enough.
00:31:22Mr. Kane, maybe we should cancel his contract.
00:31:25You think the contract disappears because you said so?
00:31:29Who do you think you are?
00:31:31Hannah, get real.
00:31:32I'm a top-tier scholar.
00:31:34A super elite.
00:31:35I've been courted by major firms for years.
00:31:39Losing me would be a disaster to Kane Industries.
00:31:42We negotiated my contract for days.
00:31:44They know my will.
00:31:45They would never...
00:31:46I don't think so.
00:31:49If it wasn't for a VIP's personal recommendation,
00:31:51I wouldn't even consider hiring you.
00:31:53We have hundreds of candidates far better than you,
00:31:56smarter, and much less arrogant.
00:31:59To be frank, my wife doesn't want it and neither do I.
00:32:04Let's terminate the contract.
00:32:07Effective immediately.
00:32:08Wait, sir, you can't do that.
00:32:10No, Ethan, what do we do now?
00:32:12Did your salary...
00:32:13Your career just vanished?
00:32:15Sir, surely you understand the value of my research.
00:32:18Without me, Kane Industries will suffer a massive loss.
00:32:22Ethan Cole, if only you knew
00:32:25that without me investing my savings
00:32:28and calling in favors behind the scenes,
00:32:30your groundbreaking research would have died on the lab floor.
00:32:34Your research does have some value.
00:32:36Then why?
00:32:37Because it's nothing compared to my wife.
00:32:41She saved a multi-billion dollar project with a single word.
00:32:45Her worth is more than anything you could ever understand.
00:32:50That's impossible.
00:32:51She doesn't know anything about research or business.
00:32:53My Ethan is a genius.
00:32:56And she is a nobody.
00:32:58You can't even show her in public without embarrassing yourself.
00:33:02If I can't show my wife in public,
00:33:05then every one of you has less right to be here.
00:33:09Guards, show them out.
00:33:11Tyler Cain.
00:33:18Right, mama.
00:33:20How dare you humiliate Mr. Cole in public like this?
00:33:25And this is the partner you brought?
00:33:28Are you completely losing your mind?
00:33:31Are you trying to drag our family names through the mud?
00:33:35You were engaged to Ava Chase from Prescott Group.
00:33:40And now this?
00:33:42Some kind of sham marriage?
00:33:46So that's the trouble he mentioned.
00:33:49Prescott Group is nothing I can't handle.
00:33:52Sham marriage.
00:33:53It's all just fake.
00:33:55Makes perfect sense.
00:33:56There's no way Tyler Cain would actually marry someone like her.
00:34:00Absolutely.
00:34:01It's all pretend.
00:34:03Enough.
00:34:04This isn't a sham.
00:34:12I'm serious about Hannah.
00:34:15Serious?
00:34:16You call this embarrassment serious?
00:34:20Whether you mean it or not,
00:34:22this marriage will never happen.
00:34:24And to think you cancelled Mr. Cole's recruitment over her.
00:34:29Do you even know who ordered this recruitment?
00:34:34It wasn't you.
00:34:35It was Chairman James Whitmore.
00:34:39Chairman Whitmore.
00:34:42The Whitmore Holdings chairman?
00:34:44I didn't even tell her he can't override that.
00:34:47So that's where this is headed.
00:34:49Perfect.
00:34:52That's right.
00:34:54Chairman James Whitmore runs Xena Group's North America market operations.
00:35:01And he's one of the CEO's closest allies.
00:35:05He's not the kind of man we can afford to offend.
00:35:09It's Xena Group's decision.
00:35:11Grandmother, I'll handle it.
00:35:14I'll speak to Chairman Whitmore myself.
00:35:17Mr. Cole, forgive this child.
00:35:20I must have raised him poorly.
00:35:23On behalf of Cain Industries, I apologise.
00:35:27Please ma'am, if he's so determined to defend her,
00:35:31I have no choice but to hold him and Cain Industries responsible.
00:35:35Tyler, this is all your fault.
00:35:39Apologise now.
00:35:41No.
00:35:49There is no need for that.
00:35:51Whether it's fallout, I'll handle it.
00:35:53And what exactly will you do?
00:35:56Chairman Whitmore won't make this an issue.
00:35:59I can promise you that.
00:36:00Do you think you outrank Mr. Whitmore name?
00:36:02I just know something you don't.
00:36:04And I was planning to tell you tonight.
00:36:07If Whitmore hears about this, we're doomed.
00:36:11Divorce her now, Tyler.
00:36:16I won't divorce Hannah.
00:36:20Ever.
00:36:22You ungrateful boy.
00:36:27Bravo, Mr. Cain.
00:36:29Turning your back on your family for her?
00:36:33Guess the great Tali Cain's no different from the rest of us, after all.
00:36:37Tell me, Hannah.
00:36:38All this drama, this marriage, it's all just a stunt, right?
00:36:43You're just trying to make me regret leaving you?
00:36:46Admit it.
00:36:47Narcissism's a sickness.
00:36:49You should get it checked.
00:36:51You're really not that important.
00:36:52Big talk coming from someone who built her entire life around men.
00:36:57If you want respect, earn it.
00:36:59Stop hiding behind Cain's name.
00:37:01Even if you became a Mrs. Cain, I'd still see you as nothing.
00:37:05Watch your mouth, Cole.
00:37:06Don't.
00:37:07It's not worth it.
00:37:09You think you know me?
00:37:11You don't.
00:37:12Don't flatter yourself.
00:37:14I'm not Tyler Cain.
00:37:15I don't fall for cheap tricks or women past their prime.
00:37:19Oh, really?
00:37:21Then tell me, who's the perfect woman?
00:37:25There's only one woman that's worthy of me, and that's the chairwoman of Xena Group.
00:37:32Sure.
00:37:33Unbelievable.
00:37:34Since the secret's out.
00:37:35Yes, the chairwoman of Xena Group.
00:37:38The most powerful name in the world.
00:37:40Chairman James Whitmore works directly under her, and she's responsible for funding all of my research.
00:37:47Every step of the way.
00:37:49What?
00:37:49The chairwoman of Xena Group?
00:37:51Mr. Cole, are you saying you actually know her?
00:37:54Of course he does.
00:37:56She's been sponsoring my son for years.
00:37:59That's right.
00:38:00She's my patron, my inspiration, and she'll be attending tonight personally.
00:38:07So tell me, Mr. Cain, do you think your little empire can stand up against Xena Group?
00:38:13The chairwoman herself values me above anyone else.
00:38:18Naturally, wherever I go, her funding will follow.
00:38:21Well, I'd planned to join Cain Industries because I respected your reputation, Mr. Cain.
00:38:26But if you're going to cancel my contract because of her, then I'm out.
00:38:30I'm walking away.
00:38:32I, Ethan Cole, will not be joining Cain Industries.
00:38:37Do you all get it now?
00:38:39If we had Mr. Cole, we'd have a direct line to Xena Group.
00:38:45And you two just threw it all away.
00:38:49Look at what you've done, Tyler.
00:38:52You've done to this company.
00:38:55You know, Hannah, I was just trying to spare you.
00:38:58Didn't want you to get crushed under the person that I've become.
00:39:01But you didn't know when to stop.
00:39:03Crawling your way into high society by latching into another man?
00:39:06You see how you compare to my muse now?
00:39:14You're a muse?
00:39:16Is the chairwoman of Xena?
00:39:18Sounds like she and I have more in common than you think.
00:39:23Miss Whitmore, they say even the top conglomerate heads bow to the chairwoman.
00:39:29Is this true?
00:39:31Bow.
00:39:31They beg for a meeting.
00:39:34Xena Group won't have the planet.
00:39:37This is my shot.
00:39:40Don't blow it.
00:39:50Did you spit on me?
00:39:51Do you know what you just did?
00:39:53Get on your knees and beg.
00:39:55Maybe then, Ethan will forgive you.
00:39:57Xena and Whitmore here.
00:39:59You're finished.
00:40:02Everyone, please.
00:40:04Let's just...
00:40:05You all depend on Xena Group and Chairman Whitmore for your status.
00:40:11Fine.
00:40:12I'll call him.
00:40:17Chairman Whitmore, come to the banquet in 10 minutes.
00:40:24I want everything sorted tonight.
00:40:26I'm taking back what I gave Ethan Cole.
00:40:29Bring the investment from the industry.
00:40:3120 billion.
00:40:33Yes, ma'am.
00:40:35Everyone, move.
00:40:37We go to the banquet.
00:40:38Now!
00:40:43Good acting.
00:40:45Did you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
00:40:48You expect us to believe that?
00:40:51Pathetic.
00:40:52We'll see who's laughing after tonight.
00:40:55Get her out.
00:40:56Leave it to me.
00:40:57Please welcome the Whitmore representative.
00:41:08Looks like your luck ran out, Hannah.
00:41:10Kneel and beg now.
00:41:12Before James Whitmore arrives.
00:41:14Save yourself.
00:41:16You worry about your future, Ethan.
00:41:19The truth you're about to hear will change everything.
00:41:26What is all this noise?
00:41:28Mrs. Whitmore, apologies.
00:41:31A couple of pests got in.
00:41:32Pests?
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:34One's arrogant and the other one's completely clueless.
00:41:38Don't worry.
00:41:38I'll take care of them.
00:41:39They've insulted Mr. Ethan Cole.
00:41:43Ethan Cole?
00:41:44From Princeton?
00:41:46Yes, that's him.
00:41:47Mr. Cole.
00:41:49Sloan Whitmore.
00:41:50Whitmore Group.
00:41:52I'm not here representing Whitmore Group tonight.
00:41:55I am here on behalf of the chairwoman of Xena Group.
00:41:58So if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
00:42:01Kane Industries cancelled my son's contract with a direct order from Chairman Whitmore himself.
00:42:06This is an insult to Whitmore and Xena Group.
00:42:10Kane has gone too far.
00:42:11No one defies Chairman Whitmore and survives in business.
00:42:16Is this true, Mr. Kane?
00:42:22It's true.
00:42:23Oh, you really are reckless.
00:42:26Xena Group gave you the honor of recruiting him and you just throw it away?
00:42:29Do you really want Kane Industries bankrupt?
00:42:33Miss Whitmore, please.
00:42:34Let me explain.
00:42:35No need.
00:42:39You're my husband, Tyler.
00:42:41No more explanations.
00:42:42Let them explain themselves.
00:42:45Oh, you have some nerve.
00:42:49Who do you think you are?
00:42:52You don't deserve to know who I am.
00:42:55You want answers?
00:42:57Call your father.
00:42:59Excuse me?
00:43:00Are you out of your mind?
00:43:01Do you even know who you're talking to?
00:43:04No, no, please.
00:43:05This is Chairman Whitmore's door.
00:43:07This isn't somebody you want to pick a fight with.
00:43:09Don't worry about me.
00:43:10Have you completely lost it?
00:43:13Apologize to Miss Whitmore now.
00:43:15Or I swear.
00:43:17There's no need to get worked up, ma'am.
00:43:19Chairman Whitmore's on his way.
00:43:21When he gets here...
00:43:22Enough!
00:43:23You've got guts.
00:43:25I'll give you that.
00:43:26But insulting me and Mr. Cole, you're playing with fire.
00:43:31And Cain Industries will have to answer for that, too.
00:43:35Miss Whitmore, please.
00:43:37This is the problem with small minds.
00:43:40You can't even comprehend what you've thrown away.
00:43:45Bring them in!
00:43:51On behalf of the chairwoman of Xena Group, here are gifts for Mr. Ethan Cole.
00:43:57A Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.
00:44:01A Rolls Royce Phantom.
00:44:04And the deed to the crest at Bel Air, a private hillside estate personally commissioned by the chairwoman herself.
00:44:17This watch is a one-of-a-kind piece from the Koldos Auction.
00:44:22This Rolls Royce Phantom is custom-built for the brand's 100-year anniversary.
00:44:28And it's trimmed with real gold.
00:44:32And this crest from Bel Air is the chairwoman's personal commission overlooking the city.
00:44:40These are all for me.
00:44:42Congratulations, Mr. Cole.
00:44:44I, I'm so honored.
00:44:45I, I've only exchanged letters with her.
00:44:48I never imagined that I'd...
00:44:49Oh, please.
00:44:50You're charming, brilliant, and the chairwoman's a woman, too.
00:44:55Don't act surprised she adores you.
00:44:58Mr. Cain, do you now see who you've crossed?
00:45:01This wasn't my doing or my father's.
00:45:04The chairwoman herself put Mr. Cole in your company.
00:45:08You canceled the contract?
00:45:09Then that's on Cain Industries to deal with that fallout.
00:45:16You ungrateful fool.
00:45:18You've destroyed everything your grandfather built.
00:45:22Grandma, I...
00:45:23Don't bother.
00:45:24Cain Industries is finished.
00:45:27You have no money, no power, and no brains to fix these mistakes that have been made.
00:45:34And Mr. Cole.
00:45:36Seeing as Mr. Cain here can't see your talents, how would you like to join Whitmore Group as our chief
00:45:44technology officer?
00:45:46Starting salary, five million dollars.
00:45:50Did you hear that, Tyler?
00:45:51My son doesn't want to be with your company.
00:45:53Your company's not big enough for him.
00:45:55That's too generous.
00:45:56Oh, but you deserve this.
00:45:59It's an honor to have you.
00:46:01Please.
00:46:02This is all just to impress the chairwoman.
00:46:04I wouldn't hire this clown for 200 grand.
00:46:08We will take it.
00:46:10Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:46:11Well, now we've taken care of Mr. Cole.
00:46:15Seems like someone else needs to answer for their mistakes.
00:46:19Mr. Cain.
00:46:20If I kneel down and beg for forgiveness, then maybe I'll get the chairwoman to spare you.
00:46:30What did you just say?
00:46:32Oh, defiant still.
00:46:33Fine.
00:46:34Kneel down to Ethan.
00:46:37Now.
00:46:40You dare tell my husband to kneel?
00:46:46Hannah, if you'd just stayed quiet behind that fool, I would have ignored you.
00:46:51But you really want to go down with him, huh?
00:46:53That's enough.
00:46:54Stop embarrassing yourself.
00:46:56You're finished, Cain.
00:46:58The minute this night ends, he'll have nothing left.
00:47:02No power.
00:47:04No name.
00:47:05Nothing for her to hide behind.
00:47:07But I'll be generous.
00:47:10Get down on your knees.
00:47:14Apologize, and maybe I'll let you keep your job.
00:47:20You're making a huge mistake.
00:47:22The chairwoman of Xena Group personally supports me.
00:47:26There's nothing I can't have.
00:47:30You had your chance, Ethan.
00:47:32You threw away the one person who could have given you everything.
00:47:37My husband gets what he wants, but he doesn't beg for it.
00:47:42You insane little slut.
00:47:45Still mouthing off?
00:47:47People like you never climb out of the gutter.
00:47:51It's Long Whitmore, right?
00:47:53You talk big.
00:47:55But even your father wouldn't dare speak to me that way.
00:47:59Let's see how he reacts when he shows up.
00:48:08Faster, I'm not there on time.
00:48:10The chairwoman will have my head.
00:48:16I was going to toss you out quietly.
00:48:18But now, you wish I had.
00:48:21If I were you, I'd calm down.
00:48:25Things are about to change fast.
00:48:27Hannah, just stop.
00:48:29Who do you think you are?
00:48:30When Chairman James Whitmore gets here, we'll see he's really embarrassed.
00:48:34Oh, he'll be here.
00:48:35Just not for you.
00:48:37He's coming with the chairwoman of Xena Group.
00:48:39The woman who adores me.
00:48:41Do yourself a favor and disappear.
00:48:45Try not to humiliate yourself anymore.
00:48:47But if I walk out now, this whole banquet falls apart, doesn't it?
00:48:53Mr. Cole tried to spare you, and you still think you matter?
00:48:57Tyler Cain can't even save himself.
00:49:00Ask him.
00:49:01See if he can still protect you.
00:49:14Then I'll protect him.
00:49:20Well, it's about time.
00:49:21He should be here any minute.
00:49:23Chairman James Whitmore has arrived.
00:49:36Chairman, thank you for being here for my son.
00:49:40Miss Whitmore has been so generous, making an offer to my son of the CTO role with a budget of
00:49:46$5 million.
00:49:48When my son marries, the chairwoman of Xena Group will be sure to repay this kindness.
00:49:55Mary?
00:49:57Who?
00:49:58Chairman, thank you so much for everything that you've done for me.
00:50:00By the way, when will the chairwoman be arriving?
00:50:03I can't wait to meet her.
00:50:04Maybe we should meet her at the entrance.
00:50:06Yes, let's go meet her.
00:50:07It's such an honor.
00:50:08What the hell are you all talking about?
00:50:13Flo and Whitmore, what did you do?
00:50:17Dad's angry.
00:50:19Damn it.
00:50:20It's all because of her.
00:50:22Don't be mad, Dad.
00:50:24This whole thing is a mess because that piece of trash caused a scene.
00:50:32Did you just say trash?
00:50:34It's true.
00:50:35She's been clinging to Mr. Cole for years.
00:50:39And now, she's here wrecking this event.
00:50:43And this CEO standing next to her canceled Mr. Cole's contract, which is completely disrespectful to the Xena Group chairwoman.
00:50:53That's right.
00:50:54Chairman, let me explain.
00:50:55Stay out of this.
00:50:58Just give me 30 seconds and I will throw them both out myself.
00:51:03Chairman Whitmore, I can see you raised your daughter well.
00:51:16Chairman, who's so important that you came to greet them yourself?
00:51:20Ava Chase, heir to the Prescott Group.
00:51:23Prescott's Iron Princess.
00:51:26Yes, and she's here for the same reason I am.
00:51:28To meet the chairwoman of the Xena Group.
00:51:31When Prescott nearly collapsed years ago, Xena bailed them out.
00:51:35Now, Chairman Chase is on his deathbed and whoever wins the favor of the chairwoman inherits the Empire.
00:51:46There's Chase. It's been a while.
00:51:49Chairman Parker, how did your meeting with her go?
00:51:52It's set.
00:51:53I've arranged a meeting for you.
00:51:55Whether it works depends on your charm.
00:51:57Charm isn't a problem.
00:51:59Information is.
00:52:00All right, here's one for you.
00:52:02Rumor has it that the chairwoman is quietly funding a man's research.
00:52:07A genius that she seems quite fond of.
00:52:10And who would that be?
00:52:12Mr. Ethan Cole.
00:52:13Youngest valedictorian out of Princeton.
00:52:16Multiple doctorates.
00:52:17Ethan Cole.
00:52:19Uh, Mr. Kane is throwing a party for him.
00:52:23It'd be on right now.
00:52:24My fiancƩ refuses to marry me.
00:52:27This is perfect.
00:52:28Since I'm here, I should go to the banquet.
00:52:32When a man doesn't listen, you have to tighten the leash.
00:52:36That's how he'll learn his place.
00:52:40How dare you speak my father's name!
00:52:43Security!
00:52:47Enough!
00:52:48Dad!
00:52:50Why would you?
00:52:54Chairwoman Sinclair.
00:52:59We agreed to you.
00:53:00Chairwoman.
00:53:03What?
00:53:04That's the chairwoman.
00:53:05That can't be...
00:53:06Chairwoman?
00:53:07No, it must be a mistake.
00:53:10Dad, tell me it isn't true.
00:53:13Shut up.
00:53:14You must be mistaken.
00:53:15She's nothing.
00:53:16A high school dropout.
00:53:18My goodness.
00:53:19That woman is the one who has protected and funded your son from the beginning.
00:53:25And without her, Ethan Cole wouldn't even be standing here.
00:53:30This is insane.
00:53:31I earned everything myself.
00:53:34What does she have to do with any of this?
00:53:37Earned yourself?
00:53:38Who the hell do you think you are?
00:53:41Now, now.
00:53:42There's no need to be cool.
00:53:43Mr. Ethan Cole, youngest Princeton valedictorian.
00:53:47Clearly you're somebody.
00:53:49So why don't I give you the fair chance to prove it?
00:53:53Effective immediately, terminate all research funding for Mr. Cole.
00:53:58Cancel every upcoming academic conference.
00:54:00Oh, and Chairman, your daughter promised him a $5 million salary.
00:54:07I should have disowned you a long time ago.
00:54:12Ethan Cole, the offer is revoked.
00:54:16Chairman, this must be some sort of mistake.
00:54:18No mistake.
00:54:19I can't wait to see what brilliant discoveries you'll make about our support.
00:54:25Where's the contract I asked for?
00:54:29This is the $22 billion Xena Group investment agreement.
00:54:34Once you sign it, the funds will transfer immediately to Kane Industries.
00:54:55That's way too much.
00:54:56You've embarrassed me enough for one day.
00:55:00Hannah, you're really giving this to me.
00:55:03Take it.
00:55:04You've earned it.
00:55:06Chairman, retrieve the gifts.
00:55:09I won't give my husband things that were once meant for another man.
00:55:12Prepare something better.
00:55:13In three days, we'll hold another banquet.
00:55:17That night, I'll introduce to the world my husband.
00:55:22Hylio Kane.
00:55:24CEO of Kane Industries.
00:55:29Yes, ma'am.
00:55:32Slowed with more.
00:55:33Get home now.
00:55:40Please, Chairwoman.
00:55:42Please.
00:55:43There's just been a misunderstanding.
00:55:44A terrible misunderstanding.
00:55:46A misunderstanding?
00:55:48Which part?
00:55:49Your insults or your greed?
00:55:51Oh, say it be please.
00:55:52Fix this.
00:55:53We will have nothing.
00:55:54Who even are you?
00:55:56You deserve whatever comes to you.
00:55:58From today on, you'll live in regret.
00:56:14How amusing.
00:56:17Some nobody pretending to be the CEO of Xena Group.
00:56:22Been a while, Tyler.
00:56:24My fiancƩ.
00:56:26I heard you picked up some con artist.
00:56:29Here to explain.
00:56:29She's my wife and the CEO of Xena Group.
00:56:33We're lawfully married.
00:56:34So whatever game you're playing, drop it.
00:56:37You really expect me to believe that?
00:56:39Come on, Tyler.
00:56:40What's the plan?
00:56:41Pretend she's your wife to get rid of me?
00:56:43I have reliable intel.
00:56:45Xena Group's chairwoman arrives in LAX three days from now for her own event.
00:56:49Which means this little show, little fiction.
00:56:52So you're saying Chairman Whitmore was just acting too?
00:56:55Of course.
00:56:56The man's losing it.
00:56:58Using Xena Group's name to prop up some random woman.
00:57:01Pathetic.
00:57:02So what's their relationship exactly then?
00:57:04Do you really have to ask that?
00:57:06She's his mistress.
00:57:08He doesn't even have the power to approve a Xena Group investment.
00:57:11He's just flexing to impress her.
00:57:14Tyler Kane, I can't believe you'd settle for some woman playing around with an old man.
00:57:19Don't you dare talk to my husband like that.
00:57:22Hannah, right?
00:57:23Yeah, I did some digging on you.
00:57:25Three years ago you went abroad for illegal work, then came back to chase Ethan Cole.
00:57:30Got dumped.
00:57:32And now you're pretending to be Tyler Kane's wife.
00:57:34Busy little career path.
00:57:40Ava, you don't control my life.
00:57:42You must be relying on Chairman Whitmore.
00:57:44I'm here to earn Xena Group's endorsement for the Prescott succession.
00:57:47I'll make sure the chairwoman hears how James Whitmore has been throwing her company's name around.
00:57:56You'll come around.
00:57:58Just accept it.
00:57:59You're mine.
00:58:01Ava Chase!
00:58:02Did you just touch my husband without my permission?
00:58:05You really don't get it, do you?
00:58:07No wonder Mr. Cole looks down on you.
00:58:09I've heard remarkable things about you, Mr. Cole.
00:58:11The Prescott Group would like to offer you 30% of our shares and the estate in Bel Air if
00:58:16you join us.
00:58:17Miss Chase!
00:58:18Did I hear you right?
00:58:20You did.
00:58:21Tonight's celebration is for Mr. Ethan Cole.
00:58:23You have made it.
00:58:25My sons rise to glory!
00:58:28Ava Chase doesn't offer something so grand without another reason.
00:58:31What's the catch?
00:58:33You're sharp, Mr. Cole.
00:58:35I'd appreciate a favor.
00:58:37The chairwoman arrives in three days for the gala.
00:58:40I'd love for you to introduce me.
00:58:42So you heard about my connection with her then?
00:58:44Of course.
00:58:46Word is the chairwoman holds you very dear.
00:58:48You're quite valuable to her.
00:58:50So that explains why Chairman Whitmore was acting like a complete stranger to me before.
00:58:57You're a fraud!
00:58:58Fine.
00:58:59Let's make that night unforgettable.
00:59:02Tyler Kane, look at the woman that you picked.
00:59:04Still talking big, even after a lie's been exposed.
00:59:07I expected more from the CEO of Kane Industries.
00:59:11What a disappointment.
00:59:13Watch me, Hannah.
00:59:14I will climb all the way to the top.
00:59:17And you will fall so far, you can't even crawl back up.
00:59:23Let's go, Mother.
00:59:25Get that trash out of here before the Whitmore Gala.
00:59:27I do not want to see her there.
00:59:30Tyler, see you at the Whitmore event.
00:59:42Ma'am, Chairman Parker has invited the Whitmore Group to a banquet of the Grand Hotel tonight.
00:59:46Now, he's heard you're hosting the gala.
00:59:49He'd like to take care of the preparations himself.
00:59:52What shall I tell him?
00:59:53Sure.
00:59:54Let him handle it.
01:00:00Yes, Margaret.
01:00:01Seven o'clock at the Grand Hotel banquet.
01:00:04And please have Kane Industries attend on behalf of the family.
01:00:11I need to separate Tyler from Hannah.
01:00:23Hannah, meet me at the Grand Hotel at 6.30.
01:00:30She was rude to you, ma'am.
01:00:33I can go and set her straight.
01:00:35No need.
01:00:37I'm actually looking forward to it.
01:00:44Mr. Cole, Chairman Parker booked this entire five-star hotel just for tonight to welcome the chairwoman.
01:00:51When you meet her, please put in a good word for me.
01:00:54Ethan, tell the chairwoman everything about last night.
01:00:58Let her see how Hannah and Whitmore humiliated you.
01:01:05What are you doing here?
01:01:08Tonight's a private event for the chairwoman.
01:01:10You weren't invited.
01:01:11Actually, I was.
01:01:16She should be here by now.
01:01:20You'll never earn the chairwoman's approval, which means you'll never win the Prescott inheritance.
01:01:25Did everyone hear that?
01:01:26She said I'll lose everything.
01:01:29Hannah, you're pathetic.
01:01:30No, Ethan.
01:01:32You are.
01:01:36Hannah, you richard girl.
01:01:40I invited you here tonight to straighten things out, not to challenge Miss Chase.
01:01:47I don't know what you are to my Tyler, either real or fake, but you are not fit for him.
01:01:56Then tell me, who is fit for Tyler?
01:01:58Certainly not Ava Chase.
01:02:00She is just angling for Whitmore money.
01:02:03How dare you?
01:02:04Are you really comparing yourself to Ava Chase or Prescott?
01:02:09Tyler will always choose power and money.
01:02:12You are all wrong.
01:02:14Power, money, status.
01:02:16Those are not out of my reach.
01:02:19Ava, you have no future there.
01:02:22That never changed.
01:02:24That never changed.
01:02:25That never will.
01:02:26Shameless.
01:02:28Stay away from my Tyler, or I'll make sure you regret it.
01:02:37Hello.
01:02:38The chairwoman is arriving shortly.
01:02:41Be ready to greet her.
01:02:45I have to go.
01:02:47Either leave now, or stay and accept the consequences.
01:02:59A bunch of cowards.
01:03:04What are you doing?
01:03:05The chairwoman's already upstairs.
01:03:08He said she's already here, but no one's arrived.
01:03:11Do you think that woman is...
01:03:13Well, since we don't know her face, anyone could be the CEO of the Xena Group.
01:03:17It's definitely not Hannah.
01:03:19If she had that ability, why wouldn't she do something?
01:03:22She's all talk.
01:03:23Let's go upstairs.
01:03:28Ah, you're here, chairwoman Hannah.
01:03:31Ah, let's skip the small talk.
01:03:32What's this about?
01:03:33Just wanted your opinion of the upcoming banquet.
01:03:36Can she show's promise?
01:03:37Yeah, um, CEO Tyler Kane has done a very good job.
01:03:41I will coordinate everything with Chairman Whitmore.
01:03:44But there is another thing.
01:03:46The Kane family and his fiancƩe are hoping to meet you tonight.
01:03:55Mr. Cole, the chairwoman values you most.
01:03:59Help us with Prescott's and Kane Industries later.
01:04:02Son, make a good impression.
01:04:04If she likes you, her future is set.
01:04:07Don't worry, mother.
01:04:08Once she meets me, I'll have her full attention.
01:04:16And Ms. Chase and the Coles want to call in and just say hello.
01:04:20And, of course, Mr. Ethan Cole also wants to attend today.
01:04:28Chairman Parker, are you making decisions for me now?
01:04:32No, not at all.
01:04:33How could I dare?
01:04:36I've overstepped.
01:04:38I'm sorry.
01:04:42Chairman, there are people who are unworthy of meeting you.
01:04:45Let's save the surprise for the Xenia banquet.
01:04:48Don't ruin my mood.
01:04:52This is your master access key to the Whitmore Gala.
01:04:56Now, everyone receives a digital invitation,
01:04:59but yours unlocks the vault chamber.
01:05:02Only you can open it.
01:05:06I'll see you at the banquet, then.
01:05:08Yes, chairman.
01:05:16Oh, it's you.
01:05:18For a second, I thought it was the chairwoman who'd come back.
01:05:21You're saying the chairwoman left already?
01:05:23Yeah, a few moments ago.
01:05:25Probably just as well, too.
01:05:27She wasn't very impressed by tonight's setup.
01:05:29She even was talking about some sort of surprise for the Whitmore Gala.
01:05:33A surprise?
01:05:34Yeah.
01:05:35Of course.
01:05:36She must want to meet Ethan at the Gala.
01:05:39At the perfect time.
01:05:41Maybe she's planning on proposing to you, son.
01:05:44Maybe she does, mother.
01:05:46Maybe she does.
01:05:50Mr. Cole, it seems even Chairman Parker struggles to get a wording with the chairwoman.
01:05:54I'll need your help.
01:05:56Convince her to side with me, and the 30% share of Prescott Group I promise will be yours.
01:06:01Don't worry, Miss Chase.
01:06:03I'm a man who keeps his promises.
01:06:05Uh, listen, before I forget, these are silver access invitations to the Xena Group Gala.
01:06:13If only two of them exist, consider them a token of my highest regards to you.
01:06:20Hannah, you'll never touch something like this.
01:06:23You and I, we're in different worlds entirely.
01:06:29Hey, get in.
01:06:33I didn't expect you to come.
01:06:35I'm your husband, remember?
01:06:37Picking up my wife seems reasonable.
01:06:39If you've got something to say, say it.
01:06:41As promised, while we're married, I'll protect you.
01:06:44Protect me?
01:06:45Do you even know what kind of a storm I'm in right now?
01:06:47If I storm, you mean those rats at the Grand Hotel?
01:06:52I'll handle them.
01:06:54Here.
01:06:55Take this.
01:06:56You'll need it to get into Xena Group's Gala event.
01:06:58They're announcing their first domestic partner.
01:07:01Every company in the country wants to get in there.
01:07:04It's a platinum-level invitation.
01:07:06It'll give you access to everything but the vault.
01:07:11How did you get this?
01:07:14Impressive.
01:07:16Not really.
01:07:17There's four levels to this.
01:07:19Gold, silver, platinum, and bronze.
01:07:21Gold is reserved for the CEO of Xena Group.
01:07:24Silver for the two most honored guests.
01:07:26There's only 18 platinums in existence.
01:07:29I want you to take mine.
01:07:31I don't need this.
01:07:34It's okay, Hannah.
01:07:36You don't have to lie to me.
01:07:37I know you're not the CEO of Xena Group.
01:07:40You'll still be my wife.
01:07:42If I take this platinum invitation and show up as your wife, that means our marriage becomes public.
01:07:49Permanent.
01:07:51Why?
01:07:52Scared?
01:07:53No.
01:07:54Just wondering why you're rushing to show it off.
01:07:57Because it's Ava Chase, right?
01:07:59Can't deny.
01:08:02There's more than that.
01:08:04I want to try with you.
01:08:06Betting on me means starting for loss.
01:08:08It doesn't matter.
01:08:10You are strange, but wonderful.
01:08:14I want us to work.
01:08:16If my husband insists, I'll see you at the banquet.
01:08:21I'll see you there.
01:08:41It wasn't enough for you to crash Ethan's party.
01:08:45Now you dare show up for the Xena Group banquet.
01:08:48You still don't know your place.
01:08:51This is Xena Group's event.
01:08:53My presence here has nothing to do with you.
01:08:56Tonight, the real CEO of the Xena Group, my future daughter-in-law, is hosting.
01:09:02Tonight, my son will be proposed to.
01:09:05What right do you have to be here?
01:09:07Whether or not I belong here isn't for you to decide.
01:09:09And if you're hoping for a proposal from the Xena Group's CEO, I wouldn't hold my breath.
01:09:15That dream's already dead.
01:09:17Mr. Ethan Cole is one of the most honoured guests here tonight.
01:09:22Don't get cocky, girl.
01:09:24Do you really think we'd let you just stay here?
01:09:28From where I'm standing, it looks like you already can't stop me.
01:09:32Enough! Security!
01:09:37This woman doesn't belong here.
01:09:40Throw her out!
01:09:43Hold on.
01:09:45What makes you think I don't belong?
01:09:47To be here, you need to be recognised by Xena Group and have millions in verified assets.
01:09:55You're just a gold digger, living off cane industries.
01:09:59Don't speak unless you have at least a bronze invite.
01:10:06Is that so?
01:10:11Then what's this?
01:10:15It's platinum.
01:10:21Apologies, ma'am. There has been a misunderstanding.
01:10:26Now, are we clear on who's qualified to be here?
01:10:33How would you get something like that?
01:10:36It doesn't make sense.
01:10:40Unless...
01:10:40No.
01:10:42It's impossible.
01:10:43That's Tyler Kane's card, isn't it?
01:10:46You think just because you hold that card that you're one of us?
01:10:49You're nothing.
01:10:52The one who doesn't know their place isn't me, Ethan.
01:10:56It's you.
01:10:57You and your mother think rubbing shoulders with power makes you...
01:11:01...importance?
01:11:02Tonight, I'm the star here.
01:11:04You're just background noise.
01:11:07I think somebody else should learn their place here.
01:11:17You, Ethan Cole.
01:11:21Sorry, I'm late.
01:11:22You're right on time.
01:11:23It's just getting good.
01:11:25Tyler Kane, are you out of your mind?
01:11:28I told you not to marry this woman.
01:11:30I told you to divorce her.
01:11:32And yet you brought her here tonight with a platinum card.
01:11:37I don't even know what that card is.
01:11:38Only 18 exist, and they're only given to tycoons and their heirs.
01:11:43And you've given it to her.
01:11:45Trust me, you'll regret it.
01:11:46She's my wife.
01:11:48And what gives you the right to speak about her that way?
01:11:50Everyone knows this marriage is fake.
01:11:53Stop pretending.
01:11:55Then let it be real.
01:11:57There's no rule against falling in love.
01:12:01Hannah is my peace and my destiny.
01:12:05So thank you for throwing her away.
01:12:07If you hadn't, I would never have met the best thing in my life.
01:12:13Tyler Kane, you can hate the arranged marriage all you like.
01:12:17But this marriage is madness.
01:12:21Grandmother, do you still think I married Hannah just to spite you?
01:12:26Ever since grandfather passed, I've watched Kane Industries crumble under your watch.
01:12:32I don't gamble on uncertainties.
01:12:35I married Hannah because I'm sure that with her by my side, I can conquer anything.
01:12:40Ungrateful fool.
01:12:42You've destroyed Kane Industries with your own hands.
01:12:46Man, with all due respect, it weren't for Tyler Kane.
01:12:49Kane Industries would have gone bankrupt years ago.
01:12:52The real problem isn't him.
01:12:54It's you.
01:12:57Stop blaming others for what you've broken.
01:13:03Wait, Mr. Kane.
01:13:05I don't know what she's done to trap you here like this, but I know her better than anyone.
01:13:10I used to idolize you.
01:13:12But then you married the woman that I threw away.
01:13:17Seven years.
01:13:19I paid your rent, your tuition, for your suits and your research.
01:13:24I built your network, made discoveries, and watched from the shadows to protect your fragile ego.
01:13:31And now that you've climbed a few stairs, you think you can look down on me?
01:13:35Come on, Hannah.
01:13:36You have no education, no career, and no standing.
01:13:41What have you ever done for me?
01:13:42Watch your mouth.
01:13:44It's my one.
01:13:46Tyler Kane.
01:13:54You brought her here, calling her your wife?
01:13:59Are you trying to destroy Kane Industries?
01:14:01Ava, you and I are done.
01:14:04Stace, is it wrong for a man to introduce a wife?
01:14:08Don't embarrass yourself.
01:14:09You don't belong here.
01:14:12You're going to see me after this banquet.
01:14:14If not, Kane Industries won't survive.
01:14:17You think you can escape me?
01:14:19Don't kid yourself.
01:14:20And you, you're not even in my league.
01:14:24Security!
01:14:25Anybody who's not in high society.
01:14:29You want me to leave?
01:14:30That's right.
01:14:31Get lost.
01:14:32I can leave.
01:14:34But when I do, I'm not sure you can handle what happens next.
01:14:38I'm Ava Chase.
01:14:40Getting rid of someone like you takes nothing.
01:14:42Ava Chase.
01:14:47You have no such right.
01:14:53The authority tonight belongs to the chairwoman alone.
01:14:58Unless you've got a death wish, I wouldn't try to expel her.
01:15:03Please forgive, Madam Chair, I was late and you had to, uh, endure this.
01:15:08My apologies.
01:15:10It's fine.
01:15:11You can't be serious, Chairman Whitmore.
01:15:13Taking her aside again?
01:15:14When the chairwoman arrives, I'll make sure she hears about everything.
01:15:18Let's see if you keep your fancy title plan.
01:15:21I don't think you realize, Miss Chase.
01:15:24I'm still the head of Xena Group's North American Operations, and, uh,
01:15:28you have no authority over me.
01:15:31Fine.
01:15:32Let's see what that arrogance gets you.
01:15:34People like us shouldn't waste time on people like them.
01:15:38Let's go.
01:15:55One down.
01:16:00Two silvers confirmed.
01:16:02Well, that means the chairwoman has to use her master access to unlock the final level.
01:16:07Exactly.
01:16:10When that final authorization appears, the Xena Group investment file opens.
01:16:15Then the chosen partner is revealed.
01:16:18Still thinking back to the right side?
01:16:20Ava Chase, you have no right to that access.
01:16:25Now stop before you cross a line.
01:16:28That's enough, Chairman.
01:16:30Stop before you embarrass yourself.
01:16:33With your authorization of my card, I revoke her access.
01:16:37You heard him.
01:16:39Your access ends here.
01:16:41You're right.
01:16:42Platinum doesn't matter tonight.
01:16:48Because mine holds the master authority.
01:16:53No, that's impossible.
01:16:55Kane's group?
01:16:56How?
01:16:57Impossible.
01:16:59That company...
01:17:18You all wanted to know what qualified me to stand here.
01:17:22Now you have your answer.
01:17:24Xena Group's first domestic investment will go to...
01:17:29Kane Industries.
01:17:32That was my decision as chairwoman.
01:17:38What on earth is happening here?
01:17:46The chairwoman's decision was already made.
01:17:50Yet, some of you decided that you would turn this all into a spectacle.
01:17:55Those silver cards were given out of courtesy.
01:17:58They were not a license to parade arrogance in front of Xena Group's chairwoman.
01:18:05Chairman Parker, we didn't know she was...
01:18:08No, I know you didn't because you didn't even stop.
01:18:13All you did was expect the rest of the world to bow down to you.
01:18:16Please, enough.
01:18:19You have embarrassed yourselves and me in front of every major figure in this country.
01:18:27Chairwoman, my deepest apologies.
01:18:32But when I gave them those cards, I gave it out of respect for their families.
01:18:38I didn't expect this sort of disgrace.
01:18:41There is no need to apologize.
01:18:49Xena Group has made its choice.
01:18:55I'll be partnering with Kane Industries.
01:18:59Please.
01:19:00Please.
01:19:01It was all misunderstanding.
01:19:02I didn't mean to offend you.
01:19:03I only wanted to honor Xena Group.
01:19:06Please believe me.
01:19:07Honor Xena Group.
01:19:09By mocking me.
01:19:11By belittling its chosen partner.
01:19:13I didn't know who you were.
01:19:15If I had known...
01:19:17I was deceived.
01:19:19I was deceived too.
01:19:21I didn't mean to insult you.
01:19:23I only thought you were a woman who wasn't good enough for my grandson.
01:19:28Please forgive an old lady's ignorance.
01:19:32Forgiveness isn't mine to grant.
01:19:35You should apologize to the man you raised.
01:19:39The one you spent years humiliating.
01:19:44Tyler...
01:19:45I'm sorry.
01:19:47I...
01:19:47I didn't see.
01:19:49You were more capable of running the company than I ever was.
01:19:56I'll always have respect for you, Grandmother.
01:19:59But I won't live in your shadow anymore.
01:20:03So you're really the chairwoman of Xena Group?
01:20:05The woman who built the world's largest financial empire from nothing.
01:20:09Why didn't you tell me?
01:20:10Does it matter?
01:20:11Of course it matters.
01:20:13If I'd known who you were, if you'd told me sooner, then I never would have divorced you.
01:20:17We would have been unstoppable.
01:20:19None of this would have ever happened.
01:20:21Would you have believed me?
01:20:22Back then, you couldn't stand the thought of me being above you.
01:20:26If I'd told you I was the veiled chairwoman of Xena Group, you would have laughed.
01:20:31Or worse, you would have tried to use me.
01:20:34You didn't lose me because I hid who I was.
01:20:37You lost me because you only ever loved power.
01:20:40Not the person behind me.
01:20:44And I...
01:20:46Hannah!
01:21:12I'm the CEO of Xena Group.
01:21:15Suddenly, you want to talk it out?
01:21:19Seven years and not once did you see me.
01:21:21Now it's your turn to live with that regret.
01:21:29Hannah, I...
01:21:38So this is who you really are.
01:21:40The woman everyone's been talking about.
01:21:41The chairwoman who brought Xena up from nothing.
01:21:44Told you before.
01:21:46You're an incredible woman, Hannah.
01:21:47Not because of your title.
01:21:49But because you endured all of that.
01:21:51And you're still standing.
01:21:54Do you believe me now?
01:21:56Every word.
01:21:58Come on.
01:22:00Let's go clean what's ours.
01:22:02Together.
01:22:11A family thing that all of us can say,
01:22:11Tian 6,ē
01:22:11.ęå.
01:22:12tiįŗæpé does
01:22:12Stay. Come on.
