00:00:05Welcome back, Ms. Sinclair.

00:00:07I'm the CEO of Xena Group.

00:00:09Ethan and I have been married for seven years.

00:00:12It's time I've revealed him who I really am.

00:00:14Stay away from my son.

00:00:17It's been seven years that I've wasted.

00:00:18Take it and walk away.

00:00:19How could you do this to me?

00:00:21I haven't eaten nothing.

00:00:22Get her out of here now.

00:00:24Don't blame me for what happens next.

00:00:26Stop.

00:00:27Allow me to make something very clear.

00:00:30This is my wife, Hannah Kane.

00:00:33Mr. Kane's wife?

00:00:35No, that's impossible.

00:00:36She's his mistress.

00:00:37Get that trash out of here before the wooden gala.

00:00:39Kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

00:00:42No, the one begging will be you.

00:00:48A bunch of cowards.

00:00:51There are people who are unworthy of meeting me.

00:00:54Don'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?

00:01:04Hannah.

00:01:05Xena Group's first domestic investment will go to King Industries.

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.

00:01:31Three of them I've 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.

00:01:49He'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?

00:02:10You'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 Binkley Hall.

00:02:36Of course, ma'am.

00:02:51Tyler Kane, CEO of Kane Industries.

00:02:54Stanford graduate.

00:02:55My annual income is, let's just say, it's enough that when taxes roll around, it stings a little bit.

00:03:01I live in a Beverly Hills penthouse and it costs me for itself.

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 where?

00:03:32To get married.

00:03:33Get married?

00:03:35Get married.

00:03:36Relax.

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.

00:03:58Sorry.

00:03:59What's the mistake in you for someone 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...

00:04:36help 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?

00:05:12My 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 jerk.

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!

00:06:03Victoria, why 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.

00:06:29Did you think it would show up with you?

00:06:32A high school dropout?

00:06:34Who took under-the-counter jobs overseas?

00:06:41Victoria, I was the one who planned that party.

00:06:44Every single detail.

00:06:47What's next?

00:06:49You 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.

00:06:59Then you're here.

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?

00:07:07Kane 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.

00:07:21Take 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.

00:07:44We're following breaking news out of Washington.

00:07:46The White House has just announced a multi-billion dollar initiative

00:07:49to boost U.S. production of AI chips and systems.

00:07:51Markets are already reacting,

00:07:53and experts say this could reshape the entire technology.

00:07:55She was right.

00:07:57Who 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

00:08:53and built the biggest financial company in the world from nothing.

00:08:56She's the type of woman who changes everything

00:08:59just from touching it.

00:09:00And she's my sponsor.

00:09:03That's me.

00:09:06She sponsored my studies,

00:09:07covered my research,

00:09:09all 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,

00:09:19beautiful,

00:09:20and single.

00:09:21I think she's got a hot spot 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,

00:09:27but I'm not going to deny it.

00:09:29Let's be real,

00:09:30Anna.

00:09:31I like a strong, capable woman.

00:09:33Someone that can stand by me,

00:09:34not someone who's so stupid and naive.

00:09:38Ethan Cole,

00:09:40I finally see who you are.

00:09:43I'll be at that party tonight.

00:09:45And when the truth comes out,

00:09:47we'll see who regrets what.

00:09:49Regret?

00:09:50Leaving you is the best thing I've ever done.

00:09:52And don't regret it later.

00:09:55From now on,

00:09:56we'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,

00:10:13and this is how it ends.

00:10:14Ethan Cole,

00:10:15I can't wait to see your face tonight

00:10:17when you find out who I really am.

00:10:22I'm sorry.

00:10:23I couldn't help but over here.

00:10:25I pulled you out of a crisis, didn't I?

00:10:27And you just come here and mock me?

00:10:28Well, I thought you might have had some potential.

00:10:31But after seeing you like this,

00:10:32maybe it was just luck.

00:10:33Luck?

00:10:34I saved you, didn't I?

00:10:36You're right.

00:10:37I owe you one.

00:10:38So I'm going to offer you something in return.

00:10:41A chance to marry me.

00:10:42Excuse me?

00:10:44My husband just left me,

00:10:45and you 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,

00:11:03with me as my wife,

00:11:05and give your ex a taste of his own medicine.

00:11:07That's an interesting offer.

00:11:09Well, I'm single now,

00:11:10and you're not exactly hard to look at.

00:11:14Alright, let's do it.

00:11:17I promise,

00:11:18as long as you're my husband,

00:11:19I'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,

00:11:28I'll handle it.

00:11:30I don't 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

00:11:44in Xenic Group, right?

00:11:46I can help.

00:11:48If you send your project proposal

00:11:50to Xenic Group,

00:11:51I can promise

00:11:52at least $15 billion

00:11:55in funding.

00:11:57Do you even know

00:11:59how much money $15 billion is?

00:12:02We'll secure the funding from Xenic Group,

00:12:04but $1.5 billion

00:12:06is enough.

00:12:07And for the record,

00:12:09a little bit more goes into this

00:12:10than just sending over

00:12:11some paperwork.

00:12:12Trust me.

00:12:13You've got nothing to lose, right?

00:12:16Okay.

00:12:18I'll trust you one more time.

00:12:20You won't regret it.

00:12:24Yeah, it's me.

00:12:25Send over the data

00:12:26from the AI project

00:12:27to Xenic Group.

00:12:30There.

00:12:31It's done.

00:12:33Now, come on.

00:12:35We have a wedding 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

00:13:09and introduce you to people.

00:13:10Go ahead.

00:13:11I'll be fine.

00:13:22Youngest Princeton valedictorian.

00:13:26Multiple doctorates.

00:13:28It's an honor, really.

00:13:31I heard Tyler Kane

00:13:32personally recruited you.

00:13:34Ten million dollar salary.

00:13:35That is impressive.

00:13:36Mr. Kane may actually

00:13:37turn up tonight.

00:13:39Everyone is saying

00:13:40it's because of you.

00:13:41You are on the fast track, Ethan.

00:13:43Once you've caught

00:13:44Mr. Kane's attention,

00:13:46success is guaranteed.

00:13:47Mr. Cone,

00:13:48remember us

00:13:49when you make it to the top.

00:13:50A few favors go a long way.

00:13:52You're all too kind.

00:13:54Actually,

00:13:55tonight's even more special

00:13:56than 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

00:14:18like everyone else.

00:14:20You?

00:14:21Oh, please.

00:14:22This is Kane Industries' event

00:14:25for my son.

00:14:26Everyone here

00:14:27is someone important.

00:14:29What makes you think

00:14:29you belong here

00:14:30is to hang on to him again.

00:14:32Hannah, you said it yourself.

00:14:34We're strangers now,

00:14:35so stop embarrassing yourself.

00:14:37Ethan Cole,

00:14:39stop overreacting.

00:14:41The host of this party

00:14:42is Tyler Kane,

00:14:43not you.

00:14:44Why are you making a seat?

00:14:45Enough!

00:14:46You're an embarrassment.

00:14:48This event was organized

00:14:49for me.

00:14:51Princeton Valedictorian

00:14:52by Tyler Kane himself.

00:14:54A high school dropout like you

00:14:56doesn't belong anywhere near this room.

00:14:58So that's it.

00:15:00Education makes you superior.

00:15:02Of course.

00:15:04This room is full of people

00:15:05who actually matter.

00:15:07So,

00:15:07stop wasting everyone's time

00:15:09and do yourself a favor

00:15:10and leave

00:15:11before

00:15:12we make you.

00:15:14What's going on here?

00:15:16Who's causing trouble

00:15:18for Mr. Cole

00:15:19and his mother?

00:15:21Miss Vail,

00:15:22perfect timing.

00:15:23I know you're a hotel

00:15:24partner with Kane Industries

00:15:25for this event,

00:15:26but security here

00:15:28clearly needs tightening.

00:15:30An uninvited guest

00:15:31just walked right on end.

00:15:33How did someone like you

00:15:34even 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

00:15:43to get through those doors?

00:15:45I told you.

00:15:46I came in Farron Square.

00:15:48Farron Square.

00:15:50Then where's your invitation?

00:15:51I didn't need one.

00:15:53I came here with Mr. Kane.

00:15:56Enough already, Hannah.

00:15:58Do you even know

00:15:59who Tyler Kane is?

00:16:00He's the CEO

00:16:00of Kane Industries.

00:16:02The biggest corporation

00:16:03in the country.

00:16:05And you,

00:16:06a dropout

00:16:07who worked overseas

00:16:08under the table.

00:16:09You should be embarrassed.

00:16:17Sir?

00:16:18We checked everything.

00:16:20What did you find?

00:16:22We reached out

00:16:23to our international contacts,

00:16:25pulled records

00:16:25from offshore networks

00:16:26across more than

00:16:27a hundred countries.

00:16:28There's nothing.

00:16:29No trace of a Hannah Sinclair

00:16:30anywhere.

00:16:30So my new wifey

00:16:32has no digital footprint.

00:16:34Either she's a ghost

00:16:35or she knows exactly

00:16:36how 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,

00:16:47she'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,

00:17:01haven't even signed

00:17:01your contract yet.

00:17:03Acting like you're already the star?

00:17:05You really think

00:17:06you're that special?

00:17:08How dare you talk like that?

00:17:10Do you have any idea

00:17:12who Mr. Cole is?

00:17:13Mr. Kane recruited him.

00:17:15Oh, really?

00:17:16Mr. Kane was that impressed

00:17:18with you?

00:17:22Of course.

00:17:24Do you know how much effort

00:17:25they put into hiring Mr. Cole?

00:17:28They even offered him

00:17:29one of the best contracts

00:17:30in the entire company.

00:17:32They even have

00:17:33a Mont Blanc Centennial

00:17:35limited edition

00:17:36waiting for him.

00:17:37Oh, my apologies.

00:17:39I forgot.

00:17:41Someone of your level

00:17:42probably doesn't know

00:17:42what that is.

00:17:44I'll flash no substance.

00:17:45If I wanted any of those things,

00:17:47Tyler Kane would bring them

00:17:48to me himself.

00:17:49I'm just not interested

00:17:51in that kind of

00:17:51showy nonsense.

00:17:52Oh, you are unbelievable.

00:17:55You know what I can't

00:17:56stand the most?

00:17:57People who have nothing

00:17:59acting like they have everything.

00:18:02Mr. Kane himself?

00:18:03Who do you think you are

00:18:04throwing his name

00:18:05around like that?

00:18:06Miss Vale is right.

00:18:08You have absolutely

00:18:09no shame.

00:18:11First you cling on to my son,

00:18:12and now you're using

00:18:14the CEO's name

00:18:14to get attention.

00:18:16When Mr. Kane arrives,

00:18:17he'll put you in your place.

00:18:19Anna, enough already.

00:18:20When the truth comes out

00:18:21and everyone sees

00:18:21what you've done,

00:18:22don't come running

00:18:23to me for help.

00:18:25Get your hands off me.

00:18:26You're so confident

00:18:27right now, Ethan Cole,

00:18:29but when Tyler Kane

00:18:30gets here,

00:18:30the one who's going

00:18:31to look like a fool

00:18:32won't be me.

00:18:33Oh, you've got some nerve.

00:18:35After everything,

00:18:37you still don't understand

00:18:38how extraordinary

00:18:39Mr. Cole is,

00:18:40and now you're tossing

00:18:42around Mr. Kane's name

00:18:43like you know him.

00:18:45You're digging

00:18:46your own grave, sweetheart.

00:18:48There's no talking sense

00:18:50into someone like you.

00:18:55Are you out of your mind?

00:18:57Do you know

00:18:57what type of place this is?

00:18:59Stop making a scene.

00:19:02You stayed quiet

00:19:03when she tried

00:19:04to hit me,

00:19:04but the second

00:19:05I defend myself,

00:19:06now I'm the problem.

00:19:07You think I'm a joke now

00:19:09because you've had

00:19:09a taste of success.

00:19:11Unbelievable.

00:19:12That's your standard,

00:19:13Ethan Cole.

00:19:14That's enough.

00:19:16This is Miss Vell's hotel,

00:19:17and this event

00:19:18was organized

00:19:19by Kane Industries

00:19:20for my son.

00:19:21You don't belong here.

00:19:23If Miss Vell hits you,

00:19:24you should be grateful

00:19:25she saw you.

00:19:26How dare you fight back?

00:19:28Like mother,

00:19:29like son.

00:19:30You both have a real gift

00:19:31for causing scenes.

00:19:33Shut your mouth.

00:19:34If I were you,

00:19:35I would leave now.

00:19:36You are dragging

00:19:36this event down.

00:19:37Do you think anyone

00:19:38wants you to be here?

00:19:39She's right.

00:19:41Get that woman

00:19:41out of here

00:19:42before Mr. Kane arrives.

00:19:43A woman like that

00:19:44has no business here.

00:19:46This is a gathering

00:19:47in the top 1%.

00:19:49Even the service,

00:19:50they're hand-picked.

00:19:51You need to remember

00:19:52where you stand, lady.

00:19:54Walk out now

00:19:55while we're still

00:19:57being polite.

00:19:57No, she's just a stalker.

00:20:00Miss Nicole was too polite

00:20:01to tell her off,

00:20:02and now she thinks

00:20:03she's someone important.

00:20:04As if someone like

00:20:05Miss Nicole,

00:20:07Tyler Kane's prodigy,

00:20:08would ever go

00:20:09for 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

00:20:28too much credit.

00:20:35You're all just

00:20:36fawning over the Ethan Cole,

00:20:37hoping to get close

00:20:38to Tyler Kane.

00:20:39Now I understand.

00:20:40The reason Tyler Kane

00:20:42climbed to the top so fast

00:20:43isn't just because

00:20:44he's a genius.

00:20:45People like you

00:20:46handed him the throne.

00:20:47Who do you think you are?

00:20:49Tyler Kane is the top

00:20:50of the company's

00:20:51business world.

00:20:52There's nothing wrong

00:20:54with showing respect.

00:20:55You've been running

00:20:56your mouth about him

00:20:57and Kane in the streets

00:20:58all night.

00:21:00When he walks in,

00:21:01you'll be the one begging.

00:21:03No.

00:21:04The one begging

00:21:06will be you.

00:21:07Have you completely

00:21:08lost your mind?

00:21:09I get it.

00:21:10You're humiliated

00:21:11because I dumped you.

00:21:12But this little tantrum,

00:21:13it's pathetic.

00:21:14You've always been crude.

00:21:15And you've always

00:21:16been small.

00:21:17I tried to pull you

00:21:18up the top with me.

00:21:19But you showed

00:21:20your true colors

00:21:20before you even

00:21:21signed your first deal.

00:21:22You were never built

00:21:23for the top.

00:21:24You still don't get it,

00:21:25do you?

00:21:26You will never be

00:21:27anything but a nobody.

00:21:29A few days from now,

00:21:30you'll be serving drinks

00:21:31at some cheap bar.

00:21:33That's your level, Hannah.

00:21:34The top

00:21:35is for people like me.

00:21:37Just wait.

00:21:39You'll pay for throwing

00:21:40away seven years

00:21:41like they were nothing.

00:21:45Sir,

00:21:46we ran in some trouble

00:21:46tracing Mrs. Kane's

00:21:48background.

00:21:48A few of our sources

00:21:49suddenly went dark.

00:21:51Really?

00:21:52She gets more

00:21:52interesting by the minute.

00:21:54Let's go.

00:21:58Sooner or later,

00:21:59you'll pay for tossing

00:22:01aside seven years

00:22:01like they meant nothing.

00:22:03You think I don't know

00:22:03about your past?

00:22:05Everyone knows

00:22:08who knows

00:22:09you were working

00:22:10overseas doing

00:22:11under-the-table jobs.

00:22:12I can imagine

00:22:12exactly how you

00:22:13survived that.

00:22:15You'll never get past that.

00:22:16Wake up.

00:22:17Your cruelty

00:22:18is something else,

00:22:18Ethan.

00:22:20Yes,

00:22:21thanks to you,

00:22:22I left school.

00:22:23Yes,

00:22:24I worked overseas.

00:22:24I did what I had to do.

00:22:26I pulled myself back up

00:22:27from nothing

00:22:28and you

00:22:29had every head start.

00:22:31You only know

00:22:32money and status.

00:22:34That

00:22:34is going to be

00:22:36your downside.

00:22:36Shut up.

00:22:37I'm done

00:22:38listening to this.

00:22:40Tonight

00:22:40is my night.

00:22:42Know your place.

00:22:43What right do you

00:22:44have to have to stand here?

00:22:45Tyler Kane will be here soon.

00:22:46Then you'll see

00:22:47exactly what right

00:22:48I have to stand here.

00:22:50I hope we can keep

00:22:51your cool

00:22:51when that happens.

00:22:54Hannah,

00:22:55haven't you caused

00:22:55enough trouble?

00:22:56I know you're not

00:22:57very well educated

00:22:58and don't know

00:22:59how the world

00:22:59actually works,

00:23:00but do you really

00:23:01think you could

00:23:01survive the fallout

00:23:02causing a scene

00:23:03at a Kane Industries event?

00:23:04You're something else,

00:23:05Ethan.

00:23:06Let me make

00:23:07one thing clear.

00:23:08There's nothing

00:23:09in this world

00:23:10I can't handle.

00:23:14You,

00:23:14you're only standing

00:23:15here because

00:23:16I'm allowing it.

00:23:17One word from me

00:23:19and security

00:23:19will throw you

00:23:20out like garbage.

00:23:21Are you threatening

00:23:21me?

00:23:23After everything

00:23:24I did for you.

00:23:26God.

00:23:26I must have been

00:23:28so blind.

00:23:29Seven years

00:23:30wasted on a man

00:23:31like you.

00:23:32This is your last chance.

00:23:34Leave now quietly

00:23:35and I'll forget

00:23:37this ever happened.

00:23:38But if you keep

00:23:39pushing...

00:23:39If I keep pushing

00:23:40you, what?

00:23:41Then your little

00:23:41sob story

00:23:42and our seven years

00:23:43will mean nothing.

00:23:44Tonight is about me

00:23:45so don't ruin it.

00:23:47Don't worry.

00:23:48I will make it seem

00:23:59I didn't come here

00:24:00to create trouble.

00:24:05I came here

00:24:06to take back

00:24:07everything

00:24:10that's mine.

00:24:18crazy bitch.

00:24:19This tore up

00:24:20my son's contract.

00:24:21Security!

00:24:22You've completely

00:24:23lost it.

00:24:24Don't blame me

00:24:25for what happens next.

00:24:26This is enough.

00:24:27Miss Vale,

00:24:28get her out of here

00:24:29now.

00:24:30Security!

00:24:31You heard her.

00:24:32Do it!

00:24:39Stop!

00:24:58Welcome,

00:24:59Mr. Kane.

00:25:00It's an honor.

00:25:02You should have left

00:25:03when I told you to.

00:25:04Now that Mr. Kane

00:25:05is here,

00:25:06you're finished.

00:25:07You'll be the one

00:25:08disappointing Victoria.

00:25:09Still talking

00:25:10when you're about

00:25:10to be exposed.

00:25:12Apologize now

00:25:13and maybe

00:25:14I'll let it go.

00:25:15Apologize for what?

00:25:16This is your last chance.

00:25:18Know your place

00:25:19and say you're sorry.

00:25:21You're wrong, Ethan.

00:25:23What goes around

00:25:24comes around.

00:25:25I may have started

00:25:26for nothing

00:25:28but tonight

00:25:28in this room

00:25:32I'm the most

00:25:33important person

00:25:34here.

00:25:36What's going on

00:25:37here?

00:25:37Mr. Kane,

00:25:39sorry to bother you.

00:25:40There was a disruption

00:25:41and uninvited guests

00:25:43slipped through.

00:25:44It was completely

00:25:45disrespectful to you.

00:25:46An uninvited guest?

00:25:50Who?

00:25:53Sir,

00:25:55it's my son's fault

00:25:56really.

00:25:57My son is outstanding

00:25:58and this shameless woman

00:26:00refuses to let go.

00:26:02She's been obsessed

00:26:03with him for years.

00:26:04She snuck in tonight

00:26:06and tore up

00:26:07his contract

00:26:07with Kane Industries.

00:26:09She tore up

00:26:09the contract?

00:26:10Yes, sir.

00:26:11She was even

00:26:13claiming to be my wife

00:26:14saying that I

00:26:14owe her for some

00:26:15help in the past

00:26:16and that she

00:26:17caused the big scene

00:26:18and tore up

00:26:19the contract.

00:26:19She even used

00:26:21your name

00:26:21to justify it.

00:26:23It's most

00:26:25disrespectful.

00:26:26She's claiming

00:26:26to be your wife.

00:26:34Miss Bale's team

00:26:36was about to have

00:26:36their staff remove her.

00:26:38We didn't expect

00:26:39you to arrive

00:26:39so soon,

00:26:40Mr. Kane.

00:26:40We apologize

00:26:41for this scene, sir.

00:26:42It's on us.

00:26:44Well then,

00:26:45looks like my timing

00:26:46is perfect.

00:26:46We'll have her

00:26:48removed right away.

00:26:50You've got some nerve.

00:26:52I'll give you that.

00:26:55Good thing

00:26:55you're into

00:26:56bold women, then.

00:26:57Are you insane?

00:26:58Do you know

00:26:58who you're talking to?

00:27:00Flirting with Mr. Kane

00:27:01in front of everyone.

00:27:03Shameless!

00:27:04Ignorance is bliss, huh?

00:27:06She'll learn soon

00:27:07what that attitude

00:27:08is going to cost her.

00:27:09Yeah,

00:27:09some people only

00:27:10understand reality

00:27:11when it smacks

00:27:12them in the face.

00:27:14I'd say

00:27:15Mr. Kane

00:27:18can't keep

00:27:18his eyes off me.

00:27:21I'd say

00:27:21he's completely

00:27:22smitten,

00:27:23don't you think?

00:27:23You've got a lot

00:27:24of nerve.

00:27:25It's about time

00:27:25someone teach you

00:27:26some manners.

00:27:34What the hell

00:27:35are you doing?

00:27:36Who said

00:27:36you could lay

00:27:37a hand on her?

00:27:40Don't tell me

00:27:40Mr. Kane

00:27:41is taking her side.

00:27:42Look at him!

00:27:44He's furious!

00:27:45Don't you dare

00:27:46feel sorry

00:27:46for that girl.

00:27:47We dodged a bullet

00:27:48when we broke

00:27:49up with her.

00:27:50Hannah,

00:27:51I gave you a chance.

00:27:52You're the one

00:27:53who threw it away,

00:27:54so don't blame me

00:27:55for what happens

00:27:55next.

00:28:06Allow me

00:28:07to make something

00:28:07very clear.

00:28:12this is my wife,

00:28:15Hannah Kane.

00:28:27Dad, who are

00:28:29these gifts for?

00:28:30These are gifts

00:28:31chosen by the

00:28:32chairwoman of the

00:28:32Xena Group herself.

00:28:34Wait, the chairwoman

00:28:36of the Xena Group?

00:28:37Who's the guy lucky

00:28:38enough to marry her?

00:28:40And did she pick

00:28:41out these gifts

00:28:42herself?

00:28:43Well, naturally,

00:28:44for the man she

00:28:44loves the most.

00:28:46Now, be a good girl

00:28:47and take those down

00:28:47to the banquet,

00:28:48would you?

00:28:49Oh, and do make

00:28:50a good impression

00:28:51on the chairwoman.

00:28:51You got it, Dad.

00:28:56This is my wife,

00:28:58Hannah Kane.

00:28:59Mr. Kane's wife?

00:29:02No.

00:29:03No, that's impossible.

00:29:04How could Tyler Kane,

00:29:06the Tyler Kane,

00:29:07marry someone like her?

00:29:11Sorry I was late, hon.

00:29:13You actually have

00:29:14perfect timing.

00:29:15If you'd come earlier,

00:29:16I wouldn't have seen

00:29:17how arrogant these people

00:29:18are, or how easily

00:29:20my ex-husband truly.

00:29:22That's bold.

00:29:24There must be some

00:29:25mistake.

00:29:26She didn't even

00:29:27finish high school.

00:29:28How could someone

00:29:28like you marry her?

00:29:30Mr. Kane,

00:29:31you're at the top

00:29:32of the world,

00:29:32and she's nothing.

00:29:34Ethan Cole,

00:29:35you're the youngest

00:29:36valedictorian from

00:29:37Princeton, right?

00:29:38Multiple doctorates.

00:29:39Mr. Cole was our

00:29:40top prospect this year.

00:29:42HR even offered

00:29:43an unprecedented salary

00:29:44of a million dollars

00:29:45to bring him in.

00:29:46Mr. Kane,

00:29:47I say this as a man

00:29:48of integrity.

00:29:49This woman is not

00:29:50worthy of you.

00:29:51She'll only drag

00:29:52down your name.

00:29:53Is that so?

00:29:54Then I have you

00:29:55to thank for all

00:29:55of this entertainment.

00:29:59Not at all, sir.

00:29:59I'm just telling you

00:30:00the truth.

00:30:01No, you really

00:30:02don't get it.

00:30:03If you hadn't

00:30:04carelessly thrown away

00:30:04those seven years,

00:30:05I would never have

00:30:06met my incredible wife.

00:30:08Sir, you don't

00:30:09understand at all.

00:30:10She's nothing but

00:30:10a loud, unrefined,

00:30:12talentless woman.

00:30:13There's no way

00:30:14she'd make a good

00:30:14wife for you.

00:30:15So that's what

00:30:16I was to you

00:30:16all this time.

00:30:17I gave up

00:30:18everything for you,

00:30:19Ethan.

00:30:20I waited,

00:30:22worked,

00:30:22and sacrificed

00:30:23seven years of my life.

00:30:25And this is what I get.

00:30:27Without me,

00:30:28you wouldn't even

00:30:28be standing here tonight.

00:30:30Don't flatter yourself.

00:30:32You were just

00:30:32desperate for attention.

00:30:34Everything you did,

00:30:35you did for yourself.

00:30:36I don't owe you anything.

00:30:38Listen carefully.

00:30:40The reason you,

00:30:41Ethan Cole,

00:30:42have this fancy degree,

00:30:44this title,

00:30:45and this job

00:30:46is because of me.

00:30:49Because of you.

00:30:50Please.

00:30:51It took my brilliance,

00:30:53not your pocket change.

00:30:55My research is worth

00:30:56more than you ever

00:30:57see in your life.

00:30:58My achievements came

00:30:59because of the

00:31:00chairwoman of Xenobie,

00:31:01not you.

00:31:05At your level,

00:31:06I wouldn't have you

00:31:07as a maid in the house.

00:31:08You were nothing

00:31:09but a burden.

00:31:11If you hadn't have

00:31:11clung to Ethan

00:31:12all those years,

00:31:13he would have been

00:31:14making millions by now.

00:31:16So what you're saying is,

00:31:17his current salary

00:31:19isn't enough.

00:31:22Mr. Kane,

00:31:23maybe we should

00:31:24cancel his contract.

00:31:25You think the contract

00:31:27disappears because

00:31:28you said so?

00:31:29Who do you think

00:31:30you 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

00:31:36by major firms

00:31:37for years.

00:31:39Losing me

00:31:39would be a disaster

00:31:41to Kane Industries.

00:31:42We negotiated

00:31:43my contract for days.

00:31:44They know my worth.

00:31:45They would never...

00:31:46I don't think so.

00:31:49If it wasn't for

00:31:49a VIP's personal

00:31:50recommendation,

00:31:51I wouldn't even

00:31:52consider hiring you.

00:31:53We have hundreds

00:31:54of candidates

00:31:54far better than you,

00:31:56smarter,

00:31:56and much less arrogant.

00:31:59To be frank,

00:32:01my wife doesn't want it

00:32:02and neither do I.

00:32:04Let's terminate

00:32:04the contract.

00:32:07Effective immediately.

00:32:08Wait, sir,

00:32:09you can't do that.

00:32:10No, Ethan,

00:32:11what do we do now?

00:32:12Did your salary,

00:32:13your career,

00:32:14just vanish?

00:32:15Sir, surely you understand

00:32:17the value of my research.

00:32:18Without me,

00:32:19Kane Industries

00:32:20will suffer a massive loss.

00:32:22Ethan Kohl,

00:32:23if only you knew

00:32:25that without me

00:32:26investing my savings

00:32:28and calling in favors

00:32:29behind the scenes,

00:32:30your groundbreaking research

00:32:32would die on the lab floor.

00:32:34Your research

00:32:35does have some value.

00:32:36Then why?

00:32:38Because it's nothing

00:32:39compared to my wife.

00:32:41She saved a multi-billion dollar

00:32:43project with a single word.

00:32:44Her worth is more than anything

00:32:46you could ever understand.

00:32:50That's impossible.

00:32:51She doesn't know anything

00:32:52about research or business.

00:32:53My Ethan is a genius

00:32:55and she is a nobody.

00:32:58You can't even show her

00:33:00in public without

00:33:00embarrassing yourself.

00:33:02If I can't show my wife

00:33:04in public,

00:33:05then every one of you

00:33:06has less right to be here.

00:33:09Guards,

00:33:10show them now.

00:33:11Tyler Kane.

00:33:18Grandma.

00:33:20How dare you,

00:33:22humiliate Mr. Kohl

00:33:23in public like this?

00:33:25And this is the partner

00:33:27you've brought?

00:33:28Are you completely

00:33:30losing your mind?

00:33:31Are you trying to drag

00:33:33our family names

00:33:35through the mud?

00:33:36You were engaged

00:33:37to Ava Chase

00:33:38from Prescott Group.

00:33:40And now this?

00:33:42Some kind of

00:33:43sham marriage?

00:33:47So that's the trouble

00:33:48he mentioned.

00:33:49Prescott Group

00:33:50is nothing

00:33:50I 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

00:33:57Tyler Kane would actually

00:33:58marry 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

00:34:14Hannah.

00:34:15Serious?

00:34:16You call this

00:34:18embarrassment

00:34:18serious?

00:34:20Whether you mean it

00:34:21or not,

00:34:22this marriage

00:34:23will never happen.

00:34:24And to think

00:34:25you cancelled

00:34:26Mr. Kohl's

00:34:27recruitment

00:34:28over her.

00:34:29Do you even know

00:34:30who ordered

00:34:31this recruitment?

00:34:33But it wasn't you.

00:34:35It was

00:34:36Chairman James

00:34:37Whitmore.

00:34:39Chairman Whitmore?

00:34:42The Whitmore

00:34:43Holdings chairman?

00:34:44I didn't even

00:34:45Tyler Kane

00:34:46can't override that.

00:34:47So that's

00:34:48where this is headed.

00:34:49Perfect.

00:34:52That's right.

00:34:54Chairman James

00:34:55Whitmore

00:34:56runs

00:34:57Xena Group's

00:34:58North America

00:34:59market operations.

00:35:01And

00:35:02he's one of

00:35:02the CEO's

00:35:03closest

00:35:04allies

00:35:05is not

00:35:06the kind

00:35:06of man

00:35:07we can afford

00:35:08to offend.

00:35:09It's Xena Group's

00:35:11decision.

00:35:12Grandmother,

00:35:13I'll handle it.

00:35:14I'll speak

00:35:15to Chairman Whitmore

00:35:16myself.

00:35:17Mr. Kohl,

00:35:19forgive this

00:35:20child.

00:35:20I must have

00:35:21raised him

00:35:22poorly.

00:35:23On behalf

00:35:24of Kane Industries,

00:35:26I apologise.

00:35:28Please ma'am,

00:35:29if he's so

00:35:30determined

00:35:30to defend her,

00:35:31I have no choice

00:35:32but to hold him

00:35:33and Kane Industries

00:35:34responsible.

00:35:35Tyler,

00:35:36this is all

00:35:37your fault.

00:35:39Apologise

00:35:39now.

00:35:41No.

00:35:49There's no need

00:35:50for that.

00:35:51Whether it's fallout,

00:35:52I'll handle it.

00:35:54And what

00:35:54exactly

00:35:55will you do?

00:35:57Chairman Whitmore

00:35:57wouldn't make this an issue.

00:35:58I can promise you

00:36:00that.

00:36:00Do you think

00:36:01you outrank

00:36:01Mr. Whitmore name?

00:36:02I just know

00:36:03something you don't.

00:36:05And I was planning

00:36:06to tell you tonight.

00:36:07If Whitmore

00:36:08hears about this,

00:36:10we're doomed.

00:36:12Divorce her

00:36:12now, Tyler.

00:36:17I won't divorce

00:36:18Hannah.

00:36:20Ever.

00:36:22You ungrateful boy!

00:36:27Bravo, Mr. Kane.

00:36:29Turning your back

00:36:30on your family

00:36:31for her?

00:36:33Guess the great

00:36:34Tally Kane's

00:36:34no different

00:36:35from the rest of us

00:36:36after all.

00:36:37Tell me,

00:36:37Hannah,

00:36:38all this drama,

00:36:40this marriage,

00:36:41it's all just a stunt,

00:36:42right?

00:36:43You're just trying

00:36:44to make me regret

00:36:44leaving you?

00:36:46Admit it.

00:36:47Narcissism's a sickness.

00:36:49You should get it checked.

00:36:51You're really not

00:36:51that important.

00:36:52Big talk coming

00:36:53from someone

00:36:54who built

00:36:55her entire life

00:36:55around men.

00:36:57If you want respect,

00:36:58earn it.

00:36:59Stop hiding

00:37:00behind Kane's name.

00:37:01Even if you

00:37:02became a Mrs. Kane,

00:37:03I'd still see you

00:37:04as nothing.

00:37:05Watch your mouth,

00:37:06Cole.

00:37:06Don't.

00:37:07It's not worth it.

00:37:09You think

00:37:10you know me?

00:37:11You don't?

00:37:13Don't flatter yourself.

00:37:14I'm not Tyler Kane.

00:37:15I don't fall

00:37:16for cheap tricks

00:37:17or women

00:37:18past their prime.

00:37:20Oh, really?

00:37:21Then tell me,

00:37:23who's the perfect woman?

00:37:25There's only one woman

00:37:26that's worthy of me,

00:37:27and that's

00:37:28the chairwoman

00:37:29of Xena Group.

00:37:32Sure, unbelievable.

00:37:34Since the secret's out,

00:37:36yes,

00:37:36the chairwoman

00:37:36of Xena Group.

00:37:37The most powerful name

00:37:39in the world.

00:37:40Chairman James Whitmore

00:37:42works directly

00:37:43under her,

00:37:43and she's responsible

00:37:44for funding

00:37:45all of my research,

00:37:47every step of the way.

00:37:49What?

00:37:49The chairwoman

00:37:50of Xena Group?

00:37:51Mr. Cole,

00:37:52are you saying

00:37:53you actually know her?

00:37:54Of course he does.

00:37:56She's been sponsoring

00:37:57my son for years.

00:37:59That's right.

00:38:00She's my patron,

00:38:01my inspiration,

00:38:04and she'll be attending

00:38:05tonight personally.

00:38:07So tell me,

00:38:08Mr. Kane,

00:38:10do you think

00:38:10your little empire

00:38:11can stand up

00:38:12against Xena Group?

00:38:14The chairwoman herself

00:38:15values me

00:38:16above anyone else.

00:38:18Naturally,

00:38:19wherever I go,

00:38:20her funding will follow.

00:38:22I'd planned to join

00:38:23Kane Industries

00:38:24because I respected

00:38:24your reputation,

00:38:25Mr. Kane.

00:38:26But if you're going to

00:38:27cancel my contract

00:38:28because of her,

00:38:29then I'm out.

00:38:30I'm walking away.

00:38:32I,

00:38:33Ethan Cole,

00:38:34will not be joining

00:38:35Kane Industries.

00:38:37Do you all get it now?

00:38:39If we had Mr. Cole,

00:38:41we'd have a direct line

00:38:42to Xena Group.

00:38:45And you two

00:38:46just threw it all away.

00:38:49Look at what you've done,

00:38:51Tyler.

00:38:52You've doomed

00:38:53this company.

00:38:55You know, Hannah,

00:38:56I was just trying

00:38:57to spare you.

00:38:58Didn't want you to

00:38:58get crushed up

00:38:59under the person

00:39:00that I've become.

00:39:01But you didn't know

00:39:02when to stop.

00:39:03Crawling your way

00:39:04into high society

00:39:05by latching

00:39:05into another man?

00:39:06You see how you

00:39:07compare to my muse now?

00:39:14Your muse

00:39:15is the chairwoman

00:39:17of Xena Group.

00:39:18Sounds like she

00:39:19and I have more

00:39:20in common than you think.

00:39:23Miss Whitmore,

00:39:25they say even

00:39:26the top conglomerate

00:39:27heads bow

00:39:28bow to the chairwoman.

00:39:30Is this true?

00:39:31Bow.

00:39:32They beg

00:39:32for a meeting.

00:39:34Xena Group

00:39:34own half the planet.

00:39:38This is my shot.

00:39:40Don't blow it.

00:39:50Did you spit on me?

00:39:51Do you know

00:39:52what you just did?

00:39:53Get on your knees

00:39:54and beg.

00:39:55Maybe then

00:39:56Ethan will forgive you.

00:39:57Xena and Whitmore

00:39:58are here.

00:39:59You're finished.

00:40:02Everyone, please.

00:40:04Let's just...

00:40:05You all depend

00:40:07on Xena Group

00:40:09and Chairman Whitmore

00:40:09for your status?

00:40:11Fine.

00:40:12I'll call him.

00:40:14Oh.

00:40:17Chairman Whitmore,

00:40:19come to the banquet

00:40:21and do it in 10 minutes.

00:40:24I want everything

00:40:25sorted tonight.

00:40:26I'm taking back

00:40:27what I gave Ethan Cole.

00:40:29Bring the investment

00:40:30from K-Industries.

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

00:40:46how ridiculous

00:40:46that sounds?

00:40:48You expect us

00:40:50to believe that?

00:40:51Pathetic.

00:40:52We'll see who's laughing

00:40:53after tonight.

00:40:55Get her out.

00:40:56Leave it to me.

00:40:57Please welcome

00:40:58the Whitmore representative.

00:41:08Looks like your luck

00:41:10ran out, Hannah.

00:41:11Kneel and beg now

00:41:12before James Whitmore arrives.

00:41:14Save yourself.

00:41:16You worry about

00:41:17your future, Ethan.

00:41:19The truth you're about

00:41:20to hear

00:41:20will change everything.

00:41:26What is all this noise?

00:41:28Mrs. Whitmore,

00:41:30apologies.

00:41:31A couple of pests

00:41:32got in.

00:41:33Pests?

00:41:33Yes.

00:41:34One's arrogant

00:41:35and the other one's

00:41:36completely clueless.

00:41:38Don't worry.

00:41:38I'll take care of them.

00:41:40They've insulted

00:41:40Mr. Ethan Cole.

00:41:43Ethan Cole

00:41:44from Princeton?

00:41:46Yes, that's him.

00:41:48Mr. Cole,

00:41:49Sloan Whitmore.

00:41:50Whitmore Group.

00:41:52I'm not here

00:41:53representing Whitmore Group

00:41:54tonight.

00:41:54I am here

00:41:56on behalf

00:41:56of the chairwoman

00:41:57of Xena Group.

00:41:58So if you need anything,

00:42:00don't hesitate to ask.

00:42:01Kane Industries

00:42:02canceled my son's contract

00:42:04with a direct order

00:42:05from Chairman Whitmore

00:42:06himself.

00:42:07This is an insult

00:42:08to Whitmore

00:42:09and Xena Group.

00:42:10Kane has gone too far.

00:42:12No one defies

00:42:13Chairman Whitmore

00:42:14and survives

00:42:15in business.

00:42:16Is this true,

00:42:17Mr. Kane?

00:42:22It's true.

00:42:24Oh, you really

00:42:25are reckless.

00:42:26Xena Group

00:42:27gave you the honor

00:42:27of recruiting him

00:42:28and you just

00:42:29throw it away?

00:42:29Do you really

00:42:30want Kane Industries

00:42:32bankrupt?

00:42:33Miss Whitmore,

00:42:34please.

00:42:34Let me explain.

00:42:35No need.

00:42:39You're my husband,

00:42:40Tyler.

00:42:41No more explanations.

00:42:42Let them explain

00:42:43themselves.

00:42:45Oh, you have

00:42:47some nerve.

00:42:49Who do you

00:42:50think you are?

00:42:52You don't deserve

00:42:54to know who I am.

00:42:55You want answers?

00:42:57Call your father.

00:42:59Excuse me?

00:43:00Are you out of

00:43:01your mind?

00:43:01Do you even know

00:43:02who you're talking to?

00:43:04Anna, please.

00:43:05This is Chairman

00:43:06Whitmore's door.

00:43:07This isn't somebody

00:43:08you want to pick

00:43:08a fight with.

00:43:09Don't worry about me.

00:43:10Have you completely

00:43:11lost it?

00:43:13Apologize to

00:43:14Miss Whitmore now

00:43:15or I swear.

00:43:17There's no need

00:43:18to get worked up,

00:43:19ma'am.

00:43:20Chairman Whitmore's

00:43:20on 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

00:43:27me and Mr. Cole,

00:43:29you're playing

00:43:30with fire.

00:43:31And Kane Industries

00:43:33will have to answer

00:43:34for that, too.

00:43:35Miss Whitmore,

00:43:36please.

00:43:37This is the problem

00:43:38with small minds.

00:43:40You can't even comprehend

00:43:42what you've thrown away.

00:43:45Bring them in!

00:43:51On behalf of the chairwoman

00:43:53of Xena Group,

00:43:54here are gifts

00:43:55for Mr. Ethan Cole.

00:44:04and the deed

00:44:05to the crest

00:44:05at Bel Air,

00:44:06a private hillside estate

00:44:08personally commissioned

00:44:09by the chairwoman

00:44:10herself.

00:44:17This watch

00:44:18is a one-of-a-kind piece

00:44:20from the Koldos Auction.

00:44:22This Rolls-Royce Phantom

00:44:24is custom-built

00:44:25for the brand's

00:44:28and it's trimmed

00:44:30with real gold.

00:44:32And this crest

00:44:33from Bel Air

00:44:34is the chairwoman's

00:44:36personal commission

00:44:37overlooking the city.

00:44:40These are all for me.

00:44:42Congratulations, Mr. Cole.

00:44:44I...

00:44:44I'm so honored.

00:44:45I...

00:44:46I've only exchanged

00:44:47letters with her.

00:44:48I never imagined

00:44:48that I'd...

00:44:49Oh, please.

00:44:50You're charming,

00:44:52brilliant,

00:44:53and the chairwoman's

00:44:54a woman, too.

00:44:55Don't act surprised

00:44:56she adores you.

00:44:58Mr. Kane,

00:44:59do you now see

00:45:00who you've crossed?

00:45:01This wasn't my doing

00:45:02or my father's.

00:45:04The chairwoman herself

00:45:06put Mr. Cole

00:45:07in your company.

00:45:08You canceled

00:45:09the contract,

00:45:09then that's on

00:45:10Kane Industries

00:45:11to deal with

00:45:12that fallout.

00:45:16You ungrateful fool.

00:45:18You've destroyed

00:45:19everything

00:45:20your grandfather built.

00:45:22Grandma, I...

00:45:23Don't bother.

00:45:24Kane Industries

00:45:25is finished.

00:45:27You have no money,

00:45:29no power,

00:45:30and no brains

00:45:31to fix these mistakes

00:45:33that have been made.

00:45:34And Mr. Cole...

00:45:36Seeing as Mr. Kane here

00:45:38can't see your talents.

00:45:40How would you like

00:45:41to join Whitmore Group

00:45:43as our chief technology officer?

00:45:46Starting salary,

00:45:47five million dollars.

00:45:50Did you hear that, Tyler?

00:45:51My son doesn't want

00:45:52to be with your company.

00:45:53Your company's

00:45:54not big enough for him.

00:45:55That's too generous.

00:45:57Oh, but you deserve this.

00:45:59It's an honor to have you.

00:46:01Please.

00:46:02This is all just

00:46:03to impress the chairwoman.

00:46:04I wouldn't hire this clown

00:46:06for two hundred grand.

00:46:08We will take it.

00:46:09Thank you, Miss Whitmore.

00:46:11Well, now we've taken care

00:46:13of Mr. Cole.

00:46:15Seems like someone else

00:46:16needs to answer

00:46:18for their mistakes.

00:46:19Mr. Kane,

00:46:21kneel down

00:46:22and beg for forgiveness.

00:46:25And maybe

00:46:26I'll get the chairwoman

00:46:28to spare you.

00:46:30What did you just say?

00:46:32Oh, defiant still.

00:46:34Fine.

00:46:35Kneel down

00:46:35to Ethan.

00:46:37Now.

00:46:40You dare

00:46:41tell my husband to kneel?

00:46:46Hannah,

00:46:47if you'd just stayed quiet

00:46:48behind that fool,

00:46:49I would have ignored you.

00:46:51But you really want

00:46:52to go down with him, huh?

00:46:53That's enough.

00:46:55Stop embarrassing yourself.

00:46:56You're finished, Kane.

00:46:58The minute this night ends,

00:47:00he'll have nothing left.

00:47:02No power.

00:47:04No name.

00:47:05Nothing for her

00:47:06to hide behind.

00:47:07But I'll be generous.

00:47:10Get down on your knees.

00:47:14Apologize,

00:47:15and

00:47:15maybe I'll let you

00:47:17keep your job.

00:47:20You're making

00:47:21a huge mistake.

00:47:22The chairwoman

00:47:23of Xena Group

00:47:24personally supports me.

00:47:26There's nothing

00:47:27I can't have.

00:47:30You had your chance,

00:47:31Ethan.

00:47:32You threw away

00:47:33the one person

00:47:34who could have

00:47:35given you everything.

00:47:37My husband

00:47:38gets what he wants,

00:47:40but he doesn't beg for it.

00:47:42You insane little slut.

00:47:45Still mouthing off?

00:47:46People like you

00:47:48never climb out

00:47:50of the gutter.

00:47:51It's Long Whitmore, right?

00:47:53You talk big.

00:47:55But even your father

00:47:56wouldn't dare

00:47:57speak to me that way.

00:47:59Let's see

00:48:00how he reacts

00:48:01when he shows up.

00:48:08Faster,

00:48:09I'm not there on time.

00:48:10The chairwoman

00:48:11will have my head.

00:48:16I was gonna

00:48:17toss you out

00:48:18quietly,

00:48:19but now

00:48:19you'll wish I had.

00:48:21If I were you,

00:48:22I'd calm down.

00:48:25Things are about

00:48:25to change fast.

00:48:27Hannah,

00:48:27just stop.

00:48:29Who do you think

00:48:29you are?

00:48:30When Chairman

00:48:31James Whitmore

00:48:31gets here,

00:48:32we'll see

00:48:33he's really embarrassed.

00:48:34Oh, he'll be here.

00:48:35Just not for you.

00:48:37He's coming with

00:48:38the chairwoman

00:48:38of Xena Group.

00:48:39The woman who

00:48:40adores me.

00:48:41Do yourself a favor

00:48:43and disappear.

00:48:45Try not to humiliate

00:48:46yourself anymore.

00:48:47But if I

00:48:48walk out now,

00:48:49this whole banquet

00:48:50falls apart,

00:48:52doesn't it?

00:48:53Mr. Cole

00:48:54tried to spare you,

00:48:55and you still

00:48:56think you matter?

00:48:57Tyler Kane

00:48:58can't even save himself.

00:49:00Ask him.

00:49:01See if he can

00:49:01still protect you.

00:49:03Hmm.

00:49:14Then I'll protect him.

00:49:20Well, it's about time.

00:49:21He should be here

00:49:22any minute.

00:49:23Chairman James

00:49:24Whitmore

00:49:25has arrived.

00:49:36Chairman,

00:49:37thank you for being

00:49:38here for my son.

00:49:39Miss Whitmore

00:49:40has been so generous

00:49:42making an offer

00:49:43to my son

00:49:44of the CTO role

00:49:45with a budget

00:49:46of $5 million.

00:49:48When my son marries,

00:49:51the chairwoman

00:49:52of Xena Group

00:49:52will be sure

00:49:53to repay this kindness.

00:49:55Barry?

00:49:57Who?

00:49:58Chairman,

00:49:58thank you so much

00:49:59for everything

00:49:59that you've done for me.

00:50:00By the way,

00:50:01when will the chairwoman

00:50:02be arriving?

00:50:03I can't wait to meet her.

00:50:04Maybe we should meet her

00:50:05at the entrance.

00:50:06Yes, let's go meet her.

00:50:07It's such an honor.

00:50:09What the hell

00:50:10are you all talking about?

00:50:14Sloan Whitmore,

00:50:16what did you do?

00:50:18Dad's angry.

00:50:19Damn it.

00:50:20It's all because of her.

00:50:23Don't be mad, Dad.

00:50:24This whole thing

00:50:25is a mess

00:50:26because that piece

00:50:27of trash

00:50:28caused a scene.

00:50:32Did you just say trash?

00:50:34It's true.

00:50:35She's been clinging

00:50:37to Mr. Cole

00:50:38for years

00:50:39and now

00:50:40she's here

00:50:41wrecking this event

00:50:43and this CEO

00:50:45standing next to her

00:50:46canceled Mr. Cole's contract

00:50:48which is completely

00:50:50disrespectful

00:50:51to the Xena Group

00:50:52chairwoman.

00:50:53That's right.

00:50:54Chairman,

00:50:55let me explain.

00:50:55Stay out of this.

00:50:58Just give me 30 seconds

00:50:59and I will throw them

00:51:01both out myself.

00:51:03Chairman Whitmore,

00:51:05I can see you

00:51:06raised your daughter well.

00:51:16Chairman,

00:51:17who's so important

00:51:17that you came

00:51:18to greet them yourself?

00:51:20Ava Chase,

00:51:21heir to the Prescott Group.

00:51:23Prescott's

00:51:24Iron Princess?

00:51:26Yes,

00:51:27and she's here

00:51:27for the same reason

00:51:28I am.

00:51:28To meet the chairwoman

00:51:30of the Xena Group.

00:51:31When Prescott nearly

00:51:32collapsed years ago,

00:51:33Xena bailed them out.

00:51:35Now,

00:51:37Chairman Chase

00:51:37is on his deathbed

00:51:38and

00:51:39whoever wins

00:51:40the favor

00:51:40of the chairwoman

00:51:41inherits the empire.

00:51:46Ms. Chase,

00:51:47it's been a while.

00:51:49Chairman Parker,

00:51:51how did your meeting

00:51:51with her gob?

00:51:52It's set.

00:51:53I've arranged a meeting

00:51:54for you.

00:51:55Whether it works

00:51:56depends on your charm.

00:51:57Charm isn't a problem.

00:51:59Information is.

00:52:00All right,

00:52:01here's one for you.

00:52:02Rumor has it

00:52:02that the chairwoman

00:52:04is quietly funding

00:52:06a man's research.

00:52:07A genius

00:52:08that she seems

00:52:09quite fond of.

00:52:10And who would that be?

00:52:12Mr. Ethan Cole,

00:52:13youngest valedictorian

00:52:15out of Princeton,

00:52:16multiple doctorates.

00:52:17Ethan Cole.

00:52:20Mr. Kane

00:52:21is throwing a party for you.

00:52:23It'd be on right now.

00:52:25My fiancé refuses

00:52:26to marry me.

00:52:27This is perfect.

00:52:28Since I'm here,

00:52:30I should go to the banquet.

00:52:32When a man doesn't listen,

00:52:34you have to tighten the leash.

00:52:36That's how he'll learn his place.

00:52:40How dare you

00:52:41speak my father's name!

00:52:43Security!

00:52:47Enough!

00:52:48Dad!

00:52:50Why would you?

00:52:54Chairwoman Sieg Player.

00:52:59We agreed to you.

00:53:01Chairwoman.

00:53:03What?

00:53:04That's the chairwoman.

00:53:05That can't be...

00:53:07Chairwoman?

00:53:07No,

00:53:08it must be a mistake.

00:53:10Dad,

00:53:11tell 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.

00:53:20That woman is the one

00:53:21who has protected

00:53:22and funded your son

00:53:23from the beginning.

00:53:25And without her,

00:53:27Ethan Cole

00:53:28wouldn'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?

00:53:39Who the hell do you think you are?

00:53:41Now, now.

00:53:42There's no need to be cool.

00:53:44Mr. Ethan Cole,

00:53:45youngest 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,

00:53:54terminate all research funding for Mr. Cole.

00:53:58Cancel every upcoming academic conference.

00:54:00Oh,

00:54:02and Chairman,

00:54:03your daughter promised him

00:54:05a five million dollar salary.

00:54:07I should have disowned you

00:54:09a long time ago.

00:54:12Ethan Cole,

00:54:14the offer is revoked.

00:54:16Chairman,

00:54:16this must be some sort of mistake.

00:54:18No mistake.

00:54:19I can't wait to see

00:54:21what brilliant discoveries

00:54:22you'll make about our support.

00:54:25Where's the contract I asked for?

00:54:29This is the 22 billion dollar

00:54:31Xena Group investment agreement.

00:54:34Once you sign it,

00:54:35the funds will transfer immediately

00:54:37to Kane Industries.

00:54:44Xena Group's first domestic investment.

00:54:48I didn't think I'd live to see the day.

00:54:50Kane Industries will rise again.

00:54:53Dad,

00:54:5420 million.

00:54:55That's way too much.

00:54:57You've embarrassed me enough for one day.

00:55:00Hannah,

00:55:01you're really giving this to me.

00:55:03Take it.

00:55:04You've earned it.

00:55:06Chairman,

00:55:08retrieve the gifts.

00:55:09I won't give my husband things

00:55:10that were once meant for another man.

00:55:12Prepare something better.

00:55:13In three days,

00:55:14we'll hold another banquet.

00:55:17That night,

00:55:18I'll introduce to the world

00:55:20my husband.

00:55:22Hello, Kane.

00:55:23CEO of Kane Industries.

00:55:29Yes, ma'am.

00:55:32Slard Whitmore,

00:55:33get home now.

00:55:41Please, 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,

00:55:50or your greed?

00:55:51Oh, say it be pleased.

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,

00:55:59you'll live in regret.

00:56:15How amusing.

00:56:17Some nobody pretending to be the CEO of Xena Group.

00:56:22Been a while, Tyler.

00:56:24My fiancé.

00:56:26I heard you picked up some con artist.

00:56:29Care to explain?

00:56:29She's my wife,

00:56:31and the CEO of Xena Group.

00:56:33We're lawfully married,

00:56:35so whatever game you're playing,

00:56:36drop 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

00:56:47three days from now for her own event.

00:56:49Which means this little show,

00:56:51little fiction.

00:56:52So you're saying Chairman Whitmore

00:56:53was just acting too?

00:56:55Of course.

00:56:56The man's losing it.

00:56:58Using Xena Group's name

00:56:59to 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

00:57:10to approve a Xena Group investment.

00:57:11He's just flexing to impress her.

00:57:14Tyler Kane,

00:57:15I can't believe you'd settle for

00:57:17some woman playing around

00:57:18with an old man.

00:57:19Don't you dare

00:57:20talk to my husband like that.

00:57:22Hannah, right?

00:57:23Hey, I did some digging on you.

00:57:25Three years ago,

00:57:26you went abroad for illegal work,

00:57:28then came back to chase Ethan Cole,

00:57:30got dumped,

00:57:32and now you're pretending

00:57:33to be Tyler Kane's wife.

00:57:35Busy little career path.

00:57:39Ava,

00:57:40you 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

00:57:46for the Prescott succession.

00:57:47I'll make sure the chairwoman hears

00:57:49how James Whitmore

00:57:50has been throwing

00:57:51her company's name around.

00:57:56You'll come around.

00:57:58Just accept it.

00:57:59You're mine.

00:58:01Ava Chase!

00:58:03Did you just touch my husband

00:58:04without 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

00:58:11about you, Mr. Cole.

00:58:12Prescott Group would like to offer you

00:58:1330% of our shares

00:58:14and the estate in Bel Air

00:58:16if you join us.

00:58:17Miss Chase,

00:58:18did I hear you right?

00:58:20You did.

00:58:21Tonight's celebration

00:58:22is for Mr. Ethan Cole.

00:58:23You have made it.

00:58:25My sons rise to glory.

00:58:28Ava Chase doesn't offer

00:58:29something so grand

00:58:30without 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

00:58:38in three days for the gala.

00:58:40I'd love for you to introduce me.

00:58:42So you heard about

00:58:43my connection with her then?

00:58:44Of course.

00:58:46Word is the chairwoman

00:58:47holds you very dear.

00:58:48You're quite valuable to her.

00:58:50So that explains why

00:58:51Chairman Whitmore

00:58:52was acting like

00:58:53a 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,

00:59:03look at the woman

00:59:03that you picked.

00:59:04Still talking big

00:59:05even after her lies

00:59:06being exposed.

00:59:08I expected more

00:59:09from the CEO

00:59:09of Kane Industries.

00:59:11But disappointment.

00:59:13Watch me, Hannah.

00:59:14I will climb

00:59:15all the way to the top.

00:59:17And you

00:59:18will fall so far

00:59:20you can't even

00:59:21crawl back up.

00:59:23Let's go, Mother.

00:59:25Get that trash out of here

00:59:26before the Whitmore Gala.

00:59:27I do not

00:59:28want to see her there.

00:59:30Tyler,

00:59:31see you at the Whitmore event.

00:59:42Ma'am,

00:59:43Chairman Parker

00:59:43has invited

00:59:44the Whitmore group

00:59:45to a banquet

00:59:45of the Grand Hotel tonight.

00:59:47Now,

00:59:47he's heard

00:59:47you're hosting the gala.

00:59:49He'd like to take care

00:59:50of 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

01:00:02at the Grand Hotel banquet.

01:00:04And please have

01:00:04Kane Industries attend

01:00:06on behalf of the family.

01:00:11I need to separate Tyler

01:00:13from Hannah.

01:00:23Hannah,

01:00:24meet me at the Grand Hotel

01:00:26at 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,

01:00:46Chairman Parker

01:00:46booked this entire

01:00:47five-star hotel

01:00:48just for tonight

01:00:50to welcome the chairwoman.

01:00:51When you meet her,

01:00:52please put in

01:00:53a good word for me.

01:00:54Ethan,

01:00:55tell the chairwoman

01:00:57everything about last night.

01:00:58Let her see how

01:00:59Hannah and Whitmore

01:01:00humiliated you.

01:01:04What

01:01:05are you doing here?

01:01:08Tonight's a private event

01:01:09for the chairwoman.

01:01:10You weren't invited.

01:01:11Actually, I was.

01:01:16She should be here by now.

01:01:19You'll never earn

01:01:21the chairwoman's approval,

01:01:22which means

01:01:22you'll never win

01:01:24the 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.

01:01:31You are.

01:01:36Hannah,

01:01:37you Richard girl.

01:01:40I invited you here tonight

01:01:42to straighten things out,

01:01:44not to challenge Miss Chase.

01:01:47I don't know

01:01:48what you are

01:01:49to my Tyler,

01:01:50either real

01:01:51or fake,

01:01:52but you are not

01:01:54fit for him.

01:01:56Then tell me,

01:01:57who is fit for Tyler?

01:01:58Certainly not

01:01:59Ava Chase.

01:02:00She is just

01:02:01angling for Whitmore money.

01:02:03How dare you?

01:02:05Are you really

01:02:05comparing yourself

01:02:06to Ava Chase

01:02:07or Prescott?

01:02:09Tyler will always

01:02:10choose power and money.

01:02:12You are all wrong.

01:02:14Power,

01:02:14money,

01:02:16status,

01:02:16those are not

01:02:17out of my reach.

01:02:19Ava,

01:02:20you have

01:02:21no future there.

01:02:23That never changed

01:02:24and never will.

01:02:26Shameless.

01:02:28Stay away

01:02:29from my Tyler

01:02:30or I'll make sure

01:02:31you regret it.

01:02:37Hello?

01:02:38The chairwoman

01:02:40is arriving shortly.

01:02:41Be ready to greet her.

01:02:45I have to go.

01:02:48Either leave now

01:02:49or stay

01:02:50and accept

01:02:51the consequences.

01:02:59A bunch of cowards.

01:03:04What are you doing?

01:03:06The chairwoman's

01:03:06already upstairs.

01:03:08He says she's

01:03:09already here

01:03:09but no one's

01:03:10arrived.

01:03:11Do you think

01:03:12that woman is...

01:03:13Well,

01:03:14since we don't

01:03:14know her face,

01:03:15anyone could be

01:03:16the CEO of

01:03:16Zena Group.

01:03:17It's definitely

01:03:18not Hannah.

01:03:19If she had that

01:03:20ability,

01:03:20why wouldn't

01:03:21she do something?

01:03:22She's all talk.

01:03:23Let's go upstairs.

01:03:24Please.

01:03:28Ah,

01:03:29you're here

01:03:30chairwoman Hannah.

01:03:31Ah,

01:03:31let's skip

01:03:31the small talk.

01:03:32What's this about?

01:03:33Just wanted your

01:03:34opinion of the

01:03:35upcoming banquet.

01:03:36Can she show's

01:03:37promise?

01:03:37Yeah,

01:03:38um,

01:03:39CEO Tyler Cain

01:03:40has done a very

01:03:40good job.

01:03:41I will coordinate

01:03:42everything with

01:03:43Chairman Whitmore.

01:03:44But,

01:03:45there is another

01:03:45thing.

01:03:46The Cain family

01:03:47and his fiancée

01:03:48are hoping to

01:03:49meet you tonight.

01:03:55Mr. Cole,

01:03:56the chairwoman

01:03:57values you most.

01:03:58Help us with

01:03:59Prescott's and

01:04:00Cain Industries

01:04:01later.

01:04:02Son,

01:04:02make a good

01:04:03impression.

01:04:04If she likes

01:04:05you,

01:04:05her future

01:04:06is set.

01:04:07Don't worry,

01:04:08mother.

01:04:09Once she meets

01:04:09me,

01:04:10I'll have her

01:04:11full attention.

01:04:16And,

01:04:17Ms. Chase

01:04:17and the Coles

01:04:18want to call in

01:04:19and just say

01:04:19hello?

01:04:20And,

01:04:21of course,

01:04:22Mr. Ethan

01:04:22Cole also

01:04:24wants to attend

01:04:25today.

01:04:26Okay.

01:04:28Chairman Parker,

01:04:29are you making

01:04:30decisions for me

01:04:31now?

01:04:32No,

01:04:33not at all.

01:04:33How could I

01:04:34dare?

01:04:36I've overstepped.

01:04:38I'm sorry.

01:04:41Chairman,

01:04:42there are people

01:04:43who are unworthy

01:04:44of meeting you.

01:04:45Let's save the

01:04:46surprise for the

01:04:47Xena banquet.

01:04:48Don't ruin my

01:04:49mood.

01:04:52This is your

01:04:53master access key

01:04:54to the Whitmore

01:04:55Gala.

01:04:56Now,

01:04:57everyone receives

01:04:57a digital invitation,

01:04:59but yours

01:05:00unlocks the vault

01:05:01chamber.

01:05:02Only you can

01:05:04open it.

01:05:06I'll see you at the

01:05:07banquet, then.

01:05:08Yes,

01:05:09chairman.

01:05:16Oh,

01:05:17it's you.

01:05:18For a second,

01:05:19I thought it was

01:05:20the chairwoman

01:05:20who'd come back.

01:05:21You're saying the

01:05:22chairwoman left

01:05:22already?

01:05:23Yeah,

01:05:24a few moments ago.

01:05:25Probably just as well,

01:05:27too.

01:05:27She wasn't very

01:05:27impressed by tonight's

01:05:28setup.

01:05:29She even was talking

01:05:30about some sort of

01:05:31surprise for the

01:05:32Whitmore Gala.

01:05:33A surprise?

01:05:34Yeah.

01:05:35Of course.

01:05:36She must want to meet

01:05:37Ethan at the

01:05:38garter,

01:05:39at the perfect time.

01:05:41Maybe she's planning

01:05:42on proposing to you,

01:05:44son.

01:05:44Maybe she does,

01:05:45mother.

01:05:46Maybe she does.

01:05:50Mr. Cole,

01:05:51it seems even

01:05:51Chairman Parker

01:05:52struggles to get a

01:05:53wording with the

01:05:53chairwoman.

01:05:54I'll need your

01:05:55help.

01:05:56Convince her to

01:05:57side with me,

01:05:57and the 30% share

01:05:58of Prescott Group

01:05:59I promise will be

01:06:00yours.

01:06:01Don't worry,

01:06:02Miss Chase.

01:06:03I'm a man who

01:06:04keeps his promises.

01:06:05Oh,

01:06:05listen,

01:06:06before I forget,

01:06:08these are

01:06:10silver access

01:06:11invitations to

01:06:12the Xena Group

01:06:13Gala.

01:06:14Only two of them

01:06:15exist.

01:06:15consider them

01:06:16a token

01:06:18of my

01:06:18highest regards

01:06:19to you.

01:06:20Hannah,

01:06:21you'll never

01:06:21touch something

01:06:22like this.

01:06:23You and I,

01:06:24we're in

01:06:25different worlds

01:06:25entirely.

01:06:29Hey,

01:06:29get in.

01:06:33I didn't expect

01:06:34you to come.

01:06:35I'm your husband,

01:06:36remember?

01:06:37Picking up my wife

01:06:38seems reasonable.

01:06:39If you've got

01:06:40something to say,

01:06:41say it.

01:06:41As promised,

01:06:42while we're married,

01:06:43I'll protect you.

01:06:44Protect me?

01:06:45Do you even know

01:06:46what kind of a storm

01:06:47I'm in right now?

01:06:47If I storm,

01:06:49you mean those

01:06:49rats at the Grand Hotel?

01:06:52I'll handle them.

01:06:54Here,

01:06:55take this.

01:06:56You'll need it

01:06:57to get into

01:06:57Xena Group's

01:06:58Gala event.

01:06:59They're announcing

01:06:59their first

01:07:00domestic partner.

01:07:01Every company

01:07:02in the country

01:07:02wants to get in there.

01:07:04It's a platinum-level

01:07:05invitation.

01:07:06It'll give you access

01:07:07to everything

01:07:07but the vault.

01:07:11How did you get this?

01:07:14Impressive.

01:07:16Not really.

01:07:17There's four levels

01:07:18to this.

01:07:19Gold,

01:07:19silver,

01:07:20platinum,

01:07:21and bronze.

01:07:22Gold is reserved

01:07:22for the CEO

01:07:23of Xena Group.

01:07:24Silver for the two

01:07:25most honored guests.

01:07:26There's only 18

01:07:27platinums in existence.

01:07:29I want you to take mine.

01:07:31I don't,

01:07:32I don't need this.

01:07:35It's okay,

01:07:35you don't have

01:07:37to lie to me.

01:07:38I know you're not

01:07:38the CEO

01:07:39of Xena Group.

01:07:40You'll still be my wife.

01:07:42If I take

01:07:43this platinum invitation

01:07:43and show up

01:07:45as your wife,

01:07:45that means

01:07:46our marriage

01:07:47becomes public.

01:07:49Permanent.

01:07:51Why?

01:07:52Scared?

01:07:53No.

01:07:54Just

01:07:55wondering why

01:07:56you're rushing

01:07:56to show it off.

01:07:57Because it's

01:07:58Ava Chase, right?

01:07:59Can't deny.

01:08:02There's more than that.

01:08:04I want to try

01:08:05with you.

01:08:06Betting on me

01:08:07means starting for loss.

01:08:09Doesn't matter.

01:08:11You are strange,

01:08:12but wonderful.

01:08:14I want us to work.

01:08:16If my husband insists,

01:08:19I'll see you

01:08:20at the banquet.

01:08:21I'll see you there.

01:08:42It wasn't enough

01:08:43for you to crash

01:08:44Ethan's party.

01:08:45Now you dare show up

01:08:46for the Xena Group banquet.

01:08:48You still don't know

01:08:50your place.

01:08:51This is Xena Group's event.

01:08:53My presence here

01:08:54has nothing to do

01:08:54with you.

01:08:55Tonight,

01:08:56the real CEO

01:08:58of the Xena Group,

01:08:59my future daughter-in-law,

01:09:01is hosting.

01:09:02Tonight,

01:09:03my son will be

01:09:03proposed to.

01:09:05What right

01:09:05do you have

01:09:06to be here?

01:09:07Whether or not

01:09:08I belong here

01:09:08isn't for you

01:09:09to decide.

01:09:09And if you're hoping

01:09:11for a proposal

01:09:12from the Xena Group's CEO,

01:09:14I wouldn't hold my breath.

01:09:15That dream's already dead.

01:09:17Mr. Ethan Cole

01:09:18is one of the most

01:09:19honoured guests

01:09:21here tonight.

01:09:22Don't get cocky, girl.

01:09:24Do you really think

01:09:26we'd let you

01:09:26just stay here?

01:09:28From where I'm standing,

01:09:30it looks like

01:09:30you already can't stop me.

01:09:32Enough!

01:09:33Security!

01:09:37This woman

01:09:38doesn't belong

01:09:39here.

01:09:40Throw her out!

01:09:43Hold on.

01:09:45What makes you think

01:09:46I don't belong?

01:09:47To be here,

01:09:48you need to be

01:09:50recognised by

01:09:51Xena Group

01:09:51and have millions

01:09:53in verified assets.

01:09:55You're just

01:09:56a gold digger

01:09:57living off

01:09:58cane industries.

01:10:00Don't speak

01:10:00unless you have

01:10:02at least

01:10:03a bronze invite.

01:10:06Is that so?

01:10:12platinum?

01:10:12Then what's this?

01:10:16It's platinum.

01:10:22Apologies, ma'am.

01:10:23There has been

01:10:23a misunderstanding.

01:10:24standing.

01:10:24I don't know who's

01:10:27Now, are we clear

01:10:28on who's qualified

01:10:30to be here?

01:10:33How would you

01:10:34get something like that?

01:10:36It doesn't make sense.

01:10:38Unless

01:10:41no,

01:10:42it's impossible.

01:10:43That's Tyler

01:10:44Kane's card, isn't it?

01:10:45You think just because

01:10:46you hold that card

01:10:47that you're one of us?

01:10:49You're nothing.

01:10:52The one who doesn't

01:10:53know their place

01:10:54isn't me, Ethan.

01:10:56It's you.

01:10:57You and your mother

01:10:59think rubbing shoulders

01:11:00with power

01:11:00makes you

01:11:01important?

01:11:02Tonight,

01:11:03I'm the star here.

01:11:04You're just

01:11:05background noise.

01:11:07I think somebody else

01:11:08should 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,

01:11:26are you out of your mind?

01:11:27I told you not

01:11:29to marry this woman.

01:11:30I told you to divorce her.

01:11:32And yet you brought her

01:11:33here tonight

01:11:34with a platinum card.

01:11:37I do even know

01:11:38what that card is.

01:11:38Only 18 exist

01:11:40and they're only given

01:11:41to 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

01:11:48the right to speak

01:11:49about her that way?

01:11:50Everyone knows

01:11:51this marriage is fake.

01:11:53Stop pretending.

01:11:55Then let it be real.

01:11:57There's no rule

01:11:58against falling in love.

01:12:01Hannah is my peace

01:12:02and my destiny.

01:12:05So thank you

01:12:06for throwing her away.

01:12:07If you hadn't,

01:12:09I would never have met

01:12:10the best thing in my life.

01:12:13Tyler Kane,

01:12:15you can hate

01:12:15the arranged marriage

01:12:16all you like,

01:12:18but this marriage

01:12:19is madness.

01:12:21Grandmother,

01:12:22do you still think

01:12:23I married Hannah

01:12:24just to spite you?

01:12:26Ever since grandfather passed,

01:12:28I've watched Kane Industries

01:12:29crumble under your watch.

01:12:32I don't gamble

01:12:33on uncertainties.

01:12:35I married Hannah

01:12:36because I'm sure

01:12:37that with her by my side,

01:12:39I can conquer anything.

01:12:40Ungrateful, ghoul.

01:12:42You've destroyed Kane Industries

01:12:43with your own hands.

01:12:46Ma'am, with all due respect,

01:12:48it weren't for Tyler Kane.

01:12:49Kane Industries

01:12:50would have gone bankrupt

01:12:51years ago.

01:12:52The real problem

01:12:53isn't him.

01:12:54It's you.

01:12:57Stop blaming others

01:12:58for what you've broken.

01:13:03Wait, Mr. Kane.

01:13:05I don't know

01:13:05what she's done

01:13:06to trap you here like this,

01:13:08but I know her

01:13:08better than anyone.

01:13:10I used to idolize you.

01:13:12But then you married

01:13:13the woman that I threw away.

01:13:17Seven years,

01:13:19I paid your rent,

01:13:20your tuition

01:13:21for your suits

01:13:22and your research.

01:13:24I built your network,

01:13:26made discoveries,

01:13:27and watched from the shadows

01:13:29to protect your fragile ego.

01:13:31And now

01:13:32that you've climbed

01:13:33a few stairs,

01:13:34you think you can look down on me?

01:13:35Come on, Hannah.

01:13:36You have no education,

01:13:38no career,

01:13:39and no standing.

01:13:41And what have you

01:13:41ever done for me?

01:13:42Watch your mouth.

01:13:44She's my wife.

01:13:46Tyler Kane!

01:13:54You brought her here,

01:13:56calling her your wife?

01:13:59Are you trying

01:14:00to destroy Kane Industries?

01:14:02Ava,

01:14:02you and I are done.

01:14:04Stace,

01:14:05is it wrong

01:14:06for a man

01:14:06to introduce a wife?

01:14:08Don't embarrass yourself.

01:14:09You don't belong here.

01:14:12You'll come see me

01:14:13after this banquet.

01:14:14If not,

01:14:15Kane Industries won't survive.

01:14:17You think you can escape me?

01:14:19Don't kid yourself.

01:14:20And you,

01:14:22you're not even in my league.

01:14:24Security!

01:14:25Anybody who's not

01:14:26in 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,

01:14:35I'm not sure

01:14:36you can handle

01:14:36what happens next.

01:14:38I'm Ava Chase.

01:14:40Getting rid of someone

01:14:41like you takes nothing.

01:14:42Ava Chase?

01:14:47You have no such right.

01:14:53The authority tonight

01:14:54belongs to the chairwoman alone.

01:14:58Unless you've got a death wish,

01:14:59I wouldn't try to expel her.

01:15:03Please forgive,

01:15:04Madam Chair,

01:15:04I was late

01:15:05and you had to

01:15:06endure this.

01:15:08My apologies.

01:15:10It's fine.

01:15:11You can't be serious,

01:15:12Chairman Whitmore.

01:15:12Taking her aside again?

01:15:14When the chairwoman arrives,

01:15:16I'll make sure

01:15:16she hears about everything.

01:15:18Let's see if you

01:15:18keep your fancy title,

01:15:19then.

01:15:21I don't think

01:15:22you realize,

01:15:23Miss Chase.

01:15:24I'm still the head

01:15:25of Xena Group's

01:15:25North American operations

01:15:26and, uh,

01:15:28you have no authority

01:15:29over me.

01:15:31Fine.

01:15:32Let's see what

01:15:33that arrogance gets you.

01:15:34People like us

01:15:35shouldn't waste time

01:15:36on people like them.

01:15:38Let's go.

01:15:55One down.

01:16:00Two silver is confirmed.

01:16:02Well,

01:16:02that means the chairwoman

01:16:03has to use her master access

01:16:05to unlock the final level.

01:16:07Exactly.

01:16:11When that final authorization appears,

01:16:13the Xena Group investment

01:16:14file opens.

01:16:15Then the chosen partner

01:16:16is revealed.

01:16:18Still thinking back

01:16:19to the right side?

01:16:21Ever, Chase,

01:16:22you have no right

01:16:23to that access.

01:16:25Now stop

01:16:26before you cross a line.

01:16:28That's enough,

01:16:29Chairman.

01:16:30Stop before you

01:16:31embarrass yourself.

01:16:33If you have

01:16:33authorization of my card,

01:16:35I will vote

01:16:36her access.

01:16:37You heard him.

01:16:39Your access

01:16:40ends here.

01:16:41You're right.

01:16:43Platinum doesn't matter

01:16:44tonight.

01:16:48Because mine

01:16:49holds the master authority.

01:16:53No.

01:16:54That's impossible.

01:16:55Change group?

01:16:56How?

01:16:57Impossible.

01:16:59That company...

01:17:18You all wanted to know

01:17:20what qualified me

01:17:21to stand here?

01:17:22Now you have your answer.

01:17:24Xena Group's first

01:17:25domestic investment

01:17:27will go to...

01:17:29Keen Industries.

01:17:32That was my decision

01:17:35as chairwoman.

01:17:38What on earth

01:17:40is happening here?

01:17:46The chairwoman's

01:17:47decision was already made.

01:17:50Yet,

01:17:51some of you decided

01:17:52that you would turn

01:17:53this hall

01:17:53into a spectacle.

01:17:55Those silver cards

01:17:57were given

01:17:57out of courtesy.

01:17:58They were not

01:17:59a license

01:18:00to parade

01:18:01arrogance

01:18:02in front of

01:18:03Gina Group's

01:18:04chairwoman.

01:18:05Chairman Parker,

01:18:06we didn't know

01:18:08she was...

01:18:08No,

01:18:09I know you didn't

01:18:09because you didn't

01:18:11even stop.

01:18:13All you did

01:18:14was expect

01:18:14the rest of the world

01:18:15to bow down to you.

01:18:17Please,

01:18:17enough.

01:18:18You have

01:18:19embarrassed yourselves

01:18:21and me

01:18:22in front of

01:18:24every major figure

01:18:25in this country.

01:18:28Chairwoman,

01:18:30my deepest apologies.

01:18:32When I gave them

01:18:34those cards,

01:18:35I gave it out

01:18:35of respect

01:18:36for their families.

01:18:37I didn't expect

01:18:39this sort of

01:18:39disgrace.

01:18:41There is no need

01:18:42to apologize.

01:18:50Xenogroup has

01:18:50made its choice.

01:18:55I'll be partnering

01:18:56with Kane Industries.

01:19:00Please,

01:19:00please,

01:19:01it was all

01:19:01misunderstanding.

01:19:02I didn't mean

01:19:03to offend you.

01:19:04I only wanted

01:19:04to honor

01:19:05Xenogroup.

01:19:06Please,

01:19:06believe me.

01:19:07Honor Xenogroup

01:19:08by mocking me,

01:19:11by belittling

01:19:12its chosen partner.

01:19:13I didn't know

01:19:14who you were.

01:19:15If I had known,

01:19:17I was deceived.

01:19:19I was deceived,

01:19:20too.

01:19:21I didn't mean

01:19:22to insult you.

01:19:23I only thought

01:19:24you were a woman

01:19:25who wasn't good

01:19:26enough for my grandson.

01:19:28Please forgive

01:19:29even old lady's

01:19:31ignorance.

01:19:32Forgiveness

01:19:32isn't mine

01:19:34to grant.

01:19:35You should apologize

01:19:36to the man

01:19:37you raised.

01:19:39The one you spent

01:19:41years humiliating.

01:19:43Tyler,

01:19:45I'm sorry.

01:19:47I didn't see.

01:19:49You were more

01:19:50capable of running

01:19:51the company

01:19:52than I ever was.

01:19:57I'll always have

01:19:57respect for you,

01:19:58Grandmother.

01:19:59But I won't live

01:20:00in your shadow

01:20:01anymore.

01:20:03So you're really

01:20:04the chairwoman

01:20:04of Xenogroup?

01:20:06Woman who built

01:20:06the world's largest

01:20:07financial empire

01:20:08from nothing.

01:20:09Why didn't you

01:20:10tell me?

01:20:11Does it matter?

01:20:12Of course it matters.

01:20:13If I'd known

01:20:14who you were,

01:20:14if you'd told me

01:20:15sooner,

01:20:15then I never

01:20:16would have divorced you.

01:20:17We would have

01:20:18been unstoppable.

01:20:19None of this

01:20:19would have ever

01:20:20happened.

01:20:21Would you have

01:20:21believed me?

01:20:22Back then,

01:20:23you couldn't

01:20:24stand the thought

01:20:25of me being

01:20:26above you.

01:20:27If I'd told you

01:20:28I was the

01:20:28veiled chairwoman

01:20:29of Xenogroup,

01:20:30you would have

01:20:31laughed.

01:20:31Or worse,

01:20:33you would have

01:20:33tried to use me.

01:20:35You didn't lose me

01:20:36because I hid

01:20:36who I was.

01:20:37You lost me

01:20:38because you only

01:20:39ever loved power,

01:20:40not the person

01:20:42behind you.

01:20:45Hannah, I...

01:20:46Hannah!

01:20:48Please don't

01:20:49do this.

01:20:49You two have

01:20:50been together

01:20:51for so long.

01:20:52I liked you too.

01:20:54A lover's fight?

01:20:55It's just a

01:20:56misunderstanding.

01:20:57Talk it through.

01:20:58You can fix this.

01:21:00You told me

01:21:02I was beneath

01:21:03your son,

01:21:04that I didn't

01:21:05belong by his side

01:21:06because I didn't

01:21:06even finish high school.

01:21:07You called me

01:21:08a burden

01:21:08and told me

01:21:09to disappear

01:21:10from his life.

01:21:11And now

01:21:12that you know

01:21:13I'm the CEO

01:21:14of Xenogroup,

01:21:15suddenly,

01:21:16you want to

01:21:16talk it out?

01:21:19seven years

01:21:20and not once

01:21:21did you see me.

01:21:22Now it's your turn

01:21:23to live

01:21:24with that regret.

01:21:30Hannah, I...

01:21:38So this is who

01:21:39you really are.

01:21:40The woman

01:21:40everyone's been

01:21:41talking about.
