00:00Chairman, as you and madam requested, the young master under 24-hour real-time surveillance. Here is the live feed.
00:12We're hiding our wealth from our son. How long do we have to keep this up?
00:18Our family rule forbids raising spoiled heirs. Who forget their roots? We can only tell Ethan the truth after he
00:26gets married.
00:29Family rule, family rule. The rule is rigid but we're flexible. I can't wait any longer.
00:34Then hurry him up. Ask him to find a girlfriend soon.
00:59Hey, mom.
01:00Hey, son. New year is just around the corner.
01:05How's the search going?
01:06For my future daughter-in-law.
01:08Come on, mom. We have no money, no house.
01:10We're flat broke. Where am I supposed to find a match?
01:14I don't care. If you can't find someone, then you come home and continue with the blind dates.
01:20Blind dates?
01:22Hey, handsome. I'm Becca. What do you think of me?
01:33Mom, it's...
01:34Shh.
01:43Let's see you run now.
01:48Why are you chasing me like that? I almost fell thanks to you.
01:55Miss Sterling, we're just following orders.
01:58Boss has made it clear we must bring you back today.
02:01The Darkfang Alliance can't wait.
02:03Go back and tell the old man I already have someone I love.
02:06I will never marry into Darkfang.
02:09If you want me to go back, then unless he cancels the Marriage Alliance.
02:14Miss, about this, you should go back and tell Boss yourself.
02:16Otherwise, he'll definitely have our heads.
02:22Don't play the victim with me.
02:24Let me tell you, if you dare take me back today, I'll...
02:27I'll hurt myself.
02:29Then I'll tell my dad that you were the one who hurt me.
02:33Think about it.
02:34My dad only has one precious daughter.
02:37If I get hurt, my dad will skin you alive.
02:42Miss Sterling, we really have no choice.
02:46Enough.
02:47I have urgent business today.
02:49If you mess up my plans, I'll skin you alive right now.
02:56Boss, someone's coming over.
03:05All right, all right.
03:06This new year, I promise I'll bring a girlfriend home.
03:08Okay, got it.
03:09Can't talk now, bye.
03:10Hey, son, wait!
03:14Ethan!
03:15I finally found you!
03:29Don't be afraid.
03:30Stand behind me.
03:31I'll protect you.
03:38Listen up, you all!
03:40I worked so hard just to run into Ethan by accident today.
03:43If any of you screw this up, I'll tear you apart myself.
03:48What goes on between you and him has anything to do with us.
03:53How is it not related?
03:55He's the future son-in-law of our Five Rivers Syndicate.
03:59Now hurry up and act with me.
04:01Act!
04:02Quick!
04:02Harass me!
04:04Harass me!
04:05Harass me!
04:06Oh, hurry up!
04:06But, miss-
04:07Oh, help!
04:08Someone's harassing me!
04:10Stop right there!
04:11Let her go!
04:14Stop right there!
04:15Let her go!
04:18I...
04:19Please help me!
04:20Miss, are you all right?
04:24Who the hell are you, punk?
04:26You tired of living?
04:27You dare interfere in Five Rivers' business?
04:29Stay behind me.
04:30Don't worry.
04:31I'll protect you.
04:33Ethan, this time, no matter what, I won't lose you again.
04:37I don't care if you're Five Rivers, Six Rivers.
04:39This is a society governed by law.
04:41If you don't leave now, I'm calling the police.
04:44You dare threaten us!
04:45Guys, take him out!
04:47Run!
04:48Run!
04:51Don't you run, boy!
04:59All right.
05:00It's safe now.
05:03Sir.
05:05You're welcome.
05:06Oh, by the way, where do you live?
05:08Let me walk you home.
05:09It's not safe for you to go alone.
05:12I struggled so hard to get close to you.
05:14If I go back now, all my effort will have been for nothing.
05:24I can't go back.
05:26If I go back, my father will keep forcing me to marry someone I don't love.
05:30Oh.
05:32Then what will you do?
05:34I...
05:38Can I stay at your place?
05:41I won't freeload off you.
05:43I can do your laundry and cook for you.
05:46No, no.
05:47Single people shouldn't cohabit.
05:49Besides, you staying at my place...
05:51Could affect your reputation.
05:53It wouldn't look good for you.
05:56Well, in that case, why don't I be your girlfriend?
05:59That way, it'll be perfectly proper.
06:00And I'll also get to repay you for saving me.
06:03Ah, how can that be?
06:05We?
06:10Sir.
06:11Do you think I'm not pretty enough?
06:14That I'm not good enough for you?
06:16No, no.
06:17That's not what I meant.
06:18I...
06:18Then starting today, I'm your girlfriend.
06:22What are the odds?
06:24I was looking for a girlfriend.
06:26And such a beautiful girl wants to be my girlfriend.
06:47Young Master Lockwood, please have some tea.
06:50Thank you, Mrs. Sterling.
06:56Mr. Sterling.
06:57My dad said, if the marriage of our families go, as planned, that Westside Pier goes to Five Rivers Syndicate.
07:06Oh.
07:18Mr. Sterling, my father, you see, he's a man of his word.
07:24Once the marriage is finalized, once the marriage is finalized, the warehouse deed, on the day of the engagement, I
07:32will bring it to you.
07:33It's just that...
07:35It's just Scarlet seems hesitant about this match.
07:46Don't worry, young master.
07:48Since I have promised Scarlet to you, even if I have to tie her up, I'll drag her to your
07:54bed myself.
07:58Something's wrong.
07:59Boss, this is bad.
08:00Really bad.
08:01Why the rush?
08:02What's wrong?
08:02Can't you see I have a guest?
08:18Young master, please wait here for a moment.
08:21I'll be right back.
08:23I'll also have the kitchen prepare some special dishes for you.
08:27Mr. Sterling, that's not necessary.
08:30I need to discuss the marriage with my father.
08:33In a couple of days, I'll bring the peer contract to visit you and Mrs. Sterling.
08:38Very well, very well.
08:40Blake, let me see you out.
08:45Take care!
08:51What's the rush?
08:52What is it?
08:53Boss, we found the young miss.
08:56She refused to come back with us.
08:58Said she'd rather die than marry Mr. Lockwood.
09:00Now she's fled with a delivery guy.
09:02What?
09:03You useless fools!
09:04You can't even bring back one woman!
09:08We didn't dare to be too rough.
09:10Afraid of hurting the young miss.
09:14Alright.
09:15I get it.
09:16That ungrateful girl.
09:31So, uh, this is where I live.
09:41Hello, Scarlet!
09:43I am...
09:44Hello!
09:45Hello!
09:49Outrageous!
09:50Absolutely outrageous!
09:51This rebellious girl is going to ruin our entire Five Rivers syndicate!
09:55You there!
09:57Come here, you!
09:59Come here!
09:59What are you waiting for?
10:01Go find her now!
10:03Even if you have to break her legs, drag her back here to me!
10:07Otherwise, bring me your head!
10:09Yes, boss!
10:11I'll bring the young miss back!
10:13Get back here!
10:15Useless!
10:16Get out!
10:30Young master!
10:33There's something new going on!
10:35You two, keep a close watch here!
10:37Yes, ma'am!
10:37I'm going to report this good news to chairman right now!
10:42Chairman!
10:43Madam!
10:43Young master found a girlfriend!
10:45A girlfriend?
10:47Really?
10:48Absolutely true, chairman!
10:50Look, young master has brought her home!
10:52Oh, my!
10:55That rascal!
10:56He's finally wised up!
10:58I just nagged him this morning, and tonight he's brought someone home!
11:04Serena, get the car ready!
11:06I'm going to meet my future daughter-in-law!
11:09Yes, madam!
11:11Hurry!
11:11We should go, too!
11:13We've waited so long, and finally this day has come!
11:33Chairman!
11:34Madam!
11:35We've verified the location!
11:36Young master's apartment is ahead!
11:38And his girlfriend is with him!
11:41Hi!
11:43Oh, look at you!
11:44Quick!
11:45Hide that million belt!
11:46Don't let our son see it!
11:50And this!
11:51Your one million earrings, too!
11:53And the necklace!
11:54Hide them, hurry!
11:55All right!
12:00Sir, are you sure that delivery guy is upstairs right now?
12:03No doubt about it!
12:05Boss said no matter what, bring young miss back today!
12:08Hey, if any of you screw this up, I'll break your legs first!
12:11Don't worry!
12:12If she hadn't protected him, I'd have broken his legs by now!
12:15Ha ha ha ha ha!
12:16Let's go!
12:19Hey!
12:20What's going on over there?
12:21Serena, go see...
12:23What's happening?
12:24Yes, madam!
12:27Come with me!
12:33You can stay here from now on!
12:35This room is where my parents stay when they visit!
12:38Okay!
12:40All right!
12:44What's going on out there?
12:55Mrs. Sterling, everything is done!
12:57Good!
12:59Mom?
13:00Dad?
13:01What are you doing here?
13:05Well, well...
13:07Ethan, who is this young lady?
13:10Madam, I'm Ethan's girlfriend!
13:14Oh!
13:15That's wonderful!
13:16For Ethan to find a girlfriend as beautiful as you is truly his good fortune!
13:22Scarlet, these are my parents.
13:24Hello, Mr. and Mrs.
13:26My name is Scarlet Sterling.
13:28Hello.
13:29Very good.
13:30You rascal, kept it a secret, huh?
13:31Such a big thing.
13:32And you didn't even tell us at home?
13:34Dad, it's just that...
13:36We just...
13:37Well...
13:37You know, I get it.
13:39Scarlet, let's all sit down and talk more.
13:42Have a seat.
13:43Here, come.
13:44Ha ha ha ha!
13:49Scarlet dear, how long have you known our Ethan?
13:56Don't be afraid.
13:57Just stay behind me.
13:58I'll protect you.
14:01We...
14:02We've known each other since college.
14:05You two met in college?
14:07So that means Scarlet, she's been with him since school?
14:11She didn't mind his struggles, but stayed with him through the hard years.
14:16She's truly a wonderful girl.
14:19What's wrong?
14:20It's nothing.
14:23Scarlet dear, since this is the first time we met, it's all a bit sudden.
14:28We didn't prepare a proper gift.
14:31Here.
14:32Take this bracelet.
14:34Consider it a small welcome gift.
14:37Ha ha ha ha.
14:41This...
14:42This bracelet is...
14:43A Qing Dynasty Imperial White Jade Bracelet.
14:47How is that possible?
14:52I've seen it in a catalog.
14:54The carving technique is the Imperial Workshop's Sioux-style jade carving.
14:58It was a technique used for royal jewelry.
15:01No, it's too precious.
15:03I can't accept this.
15:05No way.
15:05Absolutely impossible.
15:06From the Qing Dynasty?
15:08Impossible.
15:08If it really were, would I still be Delivery Man?
15:11Oh, come on.
15:13You silly kid.
15:14If I'm giving it to you, you just take it.
15:17It's just a small token from us.
15:19Take it.
15:20That's right, Scarlet.
15:21Don't turn it down.
15:22It's just our small gesture.
15:24Besides, this piece has been passed down in our family.
15:27It might even be a fake.
15:28So just keep it.
15:29Hmm.
15:31But this...
15:32It looks so real.
15:33Now, Scarlet dear, look, you and Ethan are living together now.
15:37So we're practically family.
15:40Tomorrow, we happen to be free.
15:42So why don't we go meet your parents?
15:45We can all sit down together.
15:47Mom, what are you saying?
15:49Hey, zip it.
15:51Scarlet, invite your parents.
15:54Let us show them some hospitality.
15:57All right.
15:58See you tomorrow, then.
16:00Mom, it's getting late.
16:02Let's head to bed.
16:02Hey!
16:03You brat!
16:04I haven't finished talking!
16:05You!
16:05Hey!
16:09Uh, don't mind anything my folks said.
16:11They were just saying it.
16:13It's my rare chance to end the engagement with Darkfang and marry you, Ethan.
16:17I can't let this slip away.
16:21Ethan, you don't want your parents to meet mine.
16:24Is it because deep down, you think I'm not good enough for you?
16:27Ah?
16:28No, no, no.
16:29Not at all.
16:30It's just that, well...
16:32Come on.
16:33We just got together, right?
16:35Meeting each other's parents seems a bit too rushed, don't you think?
16:39Forgotten what happened five years ago?
16:42I haven't.
16:44But I am your girlfriend.
16:46Our parents meeting each other is perfectly proper.
16:50Well...
16:50If you say no, I'll go tell your parents that I'm pregnant and you won't take responsibility.
16:56Wait, wait!
16:58No, you can't just say things like that.
17:02All right, all right, all right.
17:04Fine, I'll do it, okay?
17:06That's more like it.
17:07Thank you, darling.
17:09Uh, since my parents are staying tonight, you'll have to sleep here.
17:16Mm-hmm.
17:17No, I want to sleep in the bed.
17:19Oh, you take the bed, I'll crash on the floor.
17:22The floor is so uncomfortable.
17:25How about...
17:26We share the bed?
17:29No.
17:31I'll sleep on the floor, it's fine.
17:33You take the bed.
17:48I didn't expect Ethan to be such a gentleman.
17:58Oh, dear.
18:01You're up.
18:02Go freshen up.
18:04Then come have breakfast.
18:05Okay.
18:06Scarlet, dear.
18:07Did you sleep well last night?
18:08Mrs. Blackwood, I slept so well last night.
18:11It feels like ages since I slept so well.
18:15Dad.
18:16What's with that look?
18:18Young people need some self-control.
18:20Look at you.
18:21Dark circles under both eyes.
18:26I'm going to wash up.
18:32Sit, sit.
18:34Scarlet, dear.
18:35These are buns I made.
18:37Go on, try one.
18:40Ethan.
18:41Ethan.
18:47This bun?
18:49It's filled with black truffle?
18:52Ethan?
18:53Your family eats this?
18:55Yeah.
18:56Black truffle?
18:57I never knew about it.
18:58Just the buns I've eaten since I was a kid.
19:01Eaten since you were a kid?
19:03But these are black truffle buns.
19:05One costs $800.
19:06A bit much.
19:08Is that true?
19:09No.
19:10These buns are made by old man Sullivan in the village.
19:14Yes, yes.
19:15Scarlet, that black truffle thing you mentioned.
19:18I've never even heard of it.
19:20Let alone eaten an 800 bun.
19:24How is that possible?
19:26This tastes exactly like the black truffle I've had before.
19:29The flavor, the texture, it's the same.
19:32Scarlet, never mind the buns.
19:35What does your family do?
19:37Mrs. Blackwood, we just manage a few docks around Riverfall.
19:41Do a little cargo transport business.
19:44A few docks?
19:46That really is a small business, then.
19:48Huh?
19:49Scarlet, what she meant is...
19:53Hmm?
19:54Mrs. Blackwood?
19:55What you're wearing around your neck?
19:58Isn't that Emerald Gallery's limited edition supreme pendant?
20:01Oh, that thing?
20:03Oh dear, you must be mistaken.
20:05This isn't...
20:06How could it not be?
20:07I've seen it before.
20:09This pendant is crafted from gilded platinum, set with top quality sapphires.
20:14The production cost alone is in the millions.
20:17There are fewer than five in the entire world.
20:20Mrs. Blackwood, you're wearing three of them around your neck.
20:26This?
20:28Are you feeling all right?
20:30Why are you talking nonsense?
20:32These are just my house keys.
20:35Yes, Scarlet.
20:36If it were really as you say, would we let Ethan deliver packages?
20:40Exactly.
20:42That's right.
20:43I, uh, was afraid I'd lose my house keys so I keep them in plain sight.
20:49Oh, right.
20:51Aren't we supposed to meet your parents today?
20:54We should get going.
20:55Otherwise, if they go out, our trip will be wasted.
20:59Yeah.
20:59Mom, Dad, Scarlet and I are going to see her parents now.
21:03We'll be off.
21:05Ethan.
21:06Here.
21:07Don't forget this keychain.
21:09Okay.
21:12Scarlet, come visit again soon.
21:18Look at that kid.
21:20Always so flustered.
21:22Your son's meeting his future in-laws, and you look like you couldn't care less.
21:26Well, what can I do about it?
21:27Huh?
21:28Don't be fooled by the way he was so hesitant yesterday.
21:31Today, the moment he heard we were meeting Scarlet's parents, he ran off faster than a rabbit.
21:36All right, let's not worry ourselves.
21:39Let's eat.
21:40Eat?
21:44Mr. Sterling, this is the Westside Pier contract.
21:57Mr. Sterling, why isn't Scarlet here?
22:04Well, Blake, from now on, we'll be family.
22:10There's no need to stand on ceremony.
22:13Blake, rest assured, our Five Rivers Syndicate always keeps its word.
22:20I promise you, I'll never go back on my word.
22:25Scarlet has been out of town recently.
22:28She should be back soon.
22:32Don't worry, I'm here.
22:34Are you sure your dad lives here?
22:39They look...
22:40They look like gangsters.
22:43Don't tell me they're like in the movies.
22:45Carrying guns under their suits.
22:48What are you afraid of?
22:49This is a society governed by law.
22:51They're legitimate businessmen.
22:53They're just security personnel.
22:55Maybe we should come back another time.
22:58Let's go back first.
23:00I'll do better next time to meet your parents.
23:03What are you scared of?
23:04He's not going to bite you.
23:06Relax, I'll protect you.
23:08Come on, let's go.
23:10Go on.
23:12Miss Sterling.
23:16Ethan, can't you act a bit more manly?
23:19Let me tell you, my dad despises cowardice most of all.
23:22Today, even if you have to fake it, you better put on a brave front.
23:26Don't let my dad look down on you.
23:28Alright, I'll try my best.
23:30Good.
23:32Mom, Dad, I'm home.
23:35So this must be the delivery guy Barney was talking about.
23:43Scarlet, you're finally back.
23:45Blake, what are you doing here?
23:48I came here today to deliver the West Side Pier contract to your parents.
23:52And also, to discuss our engagement.
23:58I'm sorry, but I already have a boyfriend.
24:02Come on, Scarlet.
24:04This guy looks like a total bum.
24:06How is he worthy of you?
24:08You didn't hire some actor.
24:10Just to fool me, did you?
24:12What's wrong with being ordinary?
24:14I happen to like ordinary people.
24:16Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling.
24:18I'm Ethan Blackwood.
24:21Scarlet's boyfriend.
24:25Scarlet.
24:26This is the boyfriend you found?
24:29Yes, Dad.
24:31Ethan is the boyfriend I've chosen.
24:35Don't judge him with prejudice right from the start.
24:39Oh, Ethan.
24:40Come sit.
24:41You've come so far.
24:42It must have been hard.
24:44Oh, Dominic.
24:46Now that the boy has come, don't scare him off.
24:50Don't worry.
24:51I'm here.
24:52Thank you, Mrs. Sterling.
24:53Scarlet.
24:54Look at how pathetic this guy is.
24:56He's not fit to shine your shoes, let alone protect you in the future.
25:00Mr. Sterling.
25:01Mrs. Sterling.
25:01The future of the West Side Pier will still need the support of Dark Fang Chamber.
25:06Only Scarlet and I are a well-matched pair.
25:10What can this guy possibly give her?
25:12Who says I can't protect Scarlet?
25:14Just the other day, I helped her chase away a bunch of thugs.
25:18You?
25:20Blake, who I'm with is none of your business.
25:24Ethan is honest and reliable.
25:26He's much better than you who only knows violence and relies on his family.
25:30And what I want is sincerity, not some well-matched status.
25:33Scarlet Sterling!
25:36I don't care if you're just acting on a whim or if you hired some actor for this charade.
25:40In short, Dominic Sterling's daughter cannot be with such a low-class nobody.
25:45Dad!
25:46Ethan is just nervous.
25:48He's not usually like this.
25:50You can't judge him based on one meeting.
25:52You always told me to judge people by their heart.
25:56Oh, Dominic.
25:58Ethan seems like a decent, honest boy.
26:01Decent and honest?
26:02Worthless!
26:03The Five Rivers Syndicate is vast!
26:05A poor boy like this, could he even hold on to it?
26:08Five Rivers Syndicate?
26:10Weren't the guys harassing Scarlet also from Five Rivers Syndicate?
26:14Hey, don't take it personally.
26:16He just has a temper.
26:20Mrs. Sterling?
26:23This is the Ocean's Heart I bought for ten million at the Sotheby's auction.
26:28The clarity of this sapphire is almost flawless.
26:32I hope you'll like it.
26:36Oh my, look.
26:38Oh my goodness.
26:39This guy is that rich.
26:41Ten million.
26:41I couldn't earn that much in my entire life.
26:44Oh, Blake.
26:45You are too kind.
26:47Giving such an expensive gift makes me feel a bit awkward.
26:50You flatter me, Mrs. Sterling.
26:52When I give a gift, I'm naturally not like some people who show up empty-handed on their first visit.
26:57Not even knowing basic manners.
26:59Who says he didn't bring a gift?
27:01In my opinion, the gift Ethan brought has much more heartfelt meaning than your luxury item.
27:07That's enough.
27:08My mom bought this at the market.
27:10It was one hundred bucks tops.
27:11How can this match his ten million sapphire?
27:14Oh, really?
27:16Then why don't you take it out?
27:18Is it because what you brought is too shabby to show?
27:22Well, perhaps.
27:23You didn't bring anything at all.
27:25Who says I didn't bring one?
27:27I did.
27:27Then show it already.
27:29Stop dawdling.
27:30I bet you just picked up some cheap trinket from a stall.
27:34Too ashamed to...
27:35To show off?
27:36Fine.
27:36I'll show it.
27:38A gift's value isn't in its price, but in the thought behind it.
27:42Scarlet, if you like necklaces, you just have to tell me.
27:46I can buy one worth a hundred times as much as he bought.
27:52Expensive or not isn't important to me.
27:54What's important is that Ethan is willing to give me his all.
27:58This is not an ordinary necklace.
28:01This is Heart of the Ocean.
28:03The one auctioned two years ago by Ms. Summers of Blackwood Group for one hundred million.
28:10Wait!
28:11One hundred million?
28:12See you!
