Short filmTranscript
00:00:07Let Leon go. I'm marrying Vincent like you asked.
00:00:10Patience is a virtue. Besides, the groom isn't even here yet.
00:00:15Stay back.
00:00:16Leon?
00:00:18Your brother only breathes because I allow it. Don't test me, Bella Miller.
00:00:24Don't hurt him!
00:00:28That's not up to you.
00:00:31I can't wait to meet the Vincent Owens.
00:00:34Filth pair with filth. There won't be a more fitting match.
00:00:37Rumor has it that he's a booze hound, squandering money like he made it himself.
00:00:43He doesn't even care about his family.
00:00:45He's worthless. Not fit to shine Reginald's shoes. Rightful heir.
00:00:51I heard. He likes to hang with common gangster scum. I'm so scared.
00:00:57Don't worry, babe. I got this.
00:01:02V, where are you? I don't want to marry a stranger.
00:01:08Do you know who I am? I work for Reginald Owens. You're dead. Dead!
00:01:15Quit your yapping. Lapdog.
00:01:19Vincent Owens? How dare you defy your brother Reginald?
00:01:27He's your brother, the true heir.
00:01:29That bastard child?
00:01:30Doesn't matter anymore. Mrs. Owens bit the dust ten years ago. All for the family.
00:01:35Your dad doesn't seem to mind though.
00:01:38That might be true. But he and his mother murdered mine.
00:01:44How is that possible? That is none of your concern. What?
00:01:49You either listen to me, the true heir, or you die.
00:02:00Sir, the wedding's about to start. The bride's waiting.
00:02:05Wedding. The engagement arranged by Mr. Harold.
00:02:09The young lady from the Miller family. You promised.
00:02:15Still, appearances must be kept, yes?
00:02:18Typical. He's late.
00:02:26I'm sorry. Um, uh, Bella Miller? Uh, sorry. It's business. You understand.
00:02:34It's okay.
00:02:39I'm leaving here.
00:02:45Isn't that a good thing?
00:02:46But I...
00:02:48What about you?
00:02:52Here.
00:03:01For when we meet again.
00:03:04It's so beautiful.
00:03:06I'm gonna become the best designer in the world and design the best necklace.
00:03:12Why are you here, Serena? And how did you become Bella Miller?
00:03:24Mr. Owens.
00:03:25Mr. Owens.
00:03:26I'm sorry. Um, shall we proceed?
00:03:31We are all gathered before God here today.
00:03:34Vincent, do you take Miss Miller as your wife?
00:03:38I do.
00:03:41Bella, do you take Mr. Owens as your husband?
00:03:44I do.
00:03:55Aww.
00:03:57Match made in heaven. Bravo.
00:04:00I did what you said. Now honor our agreement.
00:04:04Agreement?
00:04:06Mom, do you know anything about an agreement with Mrs. Owens?
00:04:10Of course.
00:04:12Serena said when she marries into the Owens family, she will pay us back for our kindness tenfolds.
00:04:18What? I never said that.
00:04:20Serena, you are so selfish.
00:04:23If we hadn't picked you out of that orphanage, you would never be enjoying the wonderful life that you are
00:04:29today.
00:04:30What do you want? Five hundred thousand?
00:04:32Five hundred thousand? Have some self-worth, Serena.
00:04:38You kept me in a basement for ten years. Leon and I had to feed off of table scraps. What
00:04:44more could you take from me?
00:04:45I'm sorry, is something the matter?
00:04:52Oh, the dashing husband now, are we?
00:04:55We were just discussing the debt of gratitude.
00:04:59How much is it? I'll take care of it.
00:05:02You?
00:05:05Can you afford it?
00:05:09Five million, is that enough?
00:05:10No.
00:05:12Sounds good.
00:05:12It's great.
00:05:14You think your grandpa's table scraps is enough?
00:05:19Okay, well what do you want?
00:05:20All of it.
00:05:22I want you out of this family.
00:05:27All bark and no bite.
00:05:29As per the usual.
00:05:31But just let this be a warning.
00:05:33Don't come near me or mine ever again.
00:05:36Now, throw excuses on me.
00:05:39Let go of me. Why do you care?
00:05:41I'm helping you.
00:05:42You think money can solve everything?
00:05:44They are keeping my brother prisoner.
00:05:46I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
00:05:48Let me make this clear.
00:05:50You are not the man that I wish to marry.
00:05:52And that five million, I will pay you back as soon as I can.
00:05:55Money is not that-
00:05:56Okay, look.
00:05:57I know that you don't see us as a real couple, but we need to look the part for grandpa.
00:06:01And once that's over, if you want a divorce, I can accept that.
00:06:06Okay.
00:06:07But whatever that was today, that can never happen again.
00:06:11I don't need you saving me.
00:06:23Well, he's quite convinced now, sir.
00:06:28Just don't tell grandpa.
00:06:30Old Mr. Owens clearly knows about your mother.
00:06:34Becoming the heir is the only true way to avenge my mother. That's all that matters.
00:06:40Also, look into my new wife for me.
00:06:42Bella Miller.
00:06:43No.
00:06:44The real Bella Miller was standing next to Reginald.
00:06:48I want to know what those bastards did to her.
00:07:04Sorry, I was just, uh, intrigued by your designs.
00:07:11Hm?
00:07:12What are they for?
00:07:13Just some freelance work.
00:07:15I mean, you've got some serious skills.
00:07:17You could secure some high-level work with this.
00:07:20Innova Architects is the best design company in the country.
00:07:23I mean, you should give them a shot.
00:07:33Hey, um, you got a job interview?
00:07:36I have an interview at InnoVar.
00:07:39Oh, all right.
00:07:40Well, uh, good luck.
00:07:41Thanks.
00:07:45Um, I wanted three, but I guess I'll toast another.
00:07:49Okay, she's gone.
00:07:56Introduce yourself, please.
00:07:59I'm Serena Collins.
00:08:00I have extensive experience in design, and I really hope to join this company.
00:08:05Do you have any actual experience in corporate design?
00:08:08These are my designs.
00:08:14Impressive.
00:08:16Did you design these yourself?
00:08:18Or can you prove you actually designed these?
00:08:22I mean, everyone can trace a design.
00:08:25Pick any of these and I will explain them in great detail.
00:08:29No need.
00:08:30You don't even meet our basic requirements.
00:08:33It's over.
00:08:34But I...
00:08:35Sorry.
00:08:36You just indeed lack work experience.
00:08:39It's just not a match for us right now.
00:08:46Those designs were so unique.
00:08:48I feel like I've seen them somewhere.
00:08:49I've seen people like her before.
00:08:51Copying other people's work.
00:08:54How could her designs resemble our style more than mine?
00:09:02How did Serena's interview go?
00:09:03She didn't pass.
00:09:06Sorry, brother.
00:09:08The interviewer was Bella Miller.
00:09:10She was promoted to be the manager of the design department.
00:09:16No, I've seen Serena's designs.
00:09:18Hers are obviously more impressive than this.
00:09:21Just find out how Bella got in.
00:09:23And while you're at it, keep an eye on the election.
00:09:26Understood.
00:09:28By the way, I found out that the Millers bought them from the orphanage.
00:09:32Though I can't find a trace of this, Leon.
00:09:36Just keep looking.
00:09:43Hey, hey.
00:09:45Are you okay?
00:09:46Why are you here?
00:09:49I'm here to pick you up.
00:09:51Thanks.
00:09:53But unfortunately, I didn't pass.
00:09:55Don't worry.
00:09:56A diamond always shines through no matter what.
00:09:59Come on.
00:10:00Let's go.
00:10:02Guess who I interviewed today?
00:10:05Serena Collins.
00:10:06Fake Bella?
00:10:08Did you let her pass?
00:10:09Do you even need to ask?
00:10:12You should come around to the office more often.
00:10:14My darling CEO.
00:10:16Everyone knows you're the future wife of the chairman.
00:10:19No need to show off.
00:10:29Well, what do you think?
00:10:30It's wonderful.
00:10:32I didn't think you'd be such a good cook.
00:10:35Everyone says that-
00:10:35That I'm a loser.
00:10:37Sorry.
00:10:38No.
00:10:39You shouldn't care about what others say.
00:10:41Thank you for today.
00:10:43I didn't expect to come home to such a nice meal.
00:10:46If Inovar doesn't want me, there are plenty of other companies.
00:10:50Serena, I don't think today was your fault.
00:10:52She's always hated me.
00:10:55I know you're not the real Bella Miller.
00:10:58She's your sister, right?
00:11:00What?
00:11:02Who told you that?
00:11:03You said your brother is being held captive and I don't think anybody would imprison their own child.
00:11:09Please don't tell anyone.
00:11:10Don't worry.
00:11:12Your secret is safe with me.
00:11:15Uh...
00:11:16Sorry, I should probably...
00:11:18You do your thing.
00:11:21Yeah.
00:11:23The lady's foster parents are still being difficult about Leon.
00:11:26Don't they own a design company?
00:11:28I mean, just apply some pressure.
00:11:31What?
00:11:32I passed the interview?
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:37I got the job.
00:11:39Oh my God.
00:11:41Come here.
00:11:42Come here.
00:11:49Hey babe.
00:11:51What are you doing here?
00:11:53I thought I told you you weren't qualified.
00:11:56This is my offer.
00:12:01So you pulled strings?
00:12:03Bella is our manager.
00:12:04If she says you aren't good, you aren't.
00:12:07I don't think she takes kindly to being spoken for, miss.
00:12:12How dare you talk like that?
00:12:14Don't you know Bella is the future wife of the CEO of Inovar?
00:12:19The future heir of the Owens.
00:12:21Have you been living under a rock?
00:12:23Okay.
00:12:23I don't know who you had to sleep with to get here,
00:12:26but this is my house and my rules.
00:12:31You can either...
00:12:34revise these before you leave today,
00:12:36or get out.
00:12:42Just...
00:12:43just bear with her.
00:12:50Hey.
00:12:51It's so late and you're still not done with this?
00:12:53Thanks.
00:12:54Yeah, it was the first day and she's already giving me a hard time.
00:13:02Bella Miller could be trouble.
00:13:04I need to pay her a visit.
00:13:16These are the design drafts we buys yesterday and the one based on the motion brief.
00:13:21Please take a look.
00:13:22I told you if you can't do it on time, you might as well not do it at all.
00:13:25You can look at the drafts I made. They've all been approved by the client.
00:13:31Not good enough.
00:13:32What? At least tell me what the problem is.
00:13:35Bella is your line manager. If she says it's not enough, it's not enough.
00:13:40I'm willing to fix any mistakes that I made, but I can't do anything if you don't tell me what
00:13:45the problem is.
00:13:46You think this is just about revising?
00:13:49The client will be here any minute.
00:13:51What are we supposed to present?
00:13:55Hi.
00:13:57Oh, you're downstairs.
00:13:58Okay, perfect. I'll be down in just a minute.
00:14:03Conference room two. Now.
00:14:08Good job.
00:14:09We have the shares now.
00:14:12Reginald's still in the dark.
00:14:15Most time to surprise him then.
00:14:22I'm really glad to be here.
00:14:24Serena, fetch us some coffee.
00:14:26It's been so long.
00:14:28I didn't expect for us to collaborate again so soon.
00:14:31Well, take a look at this draft.
00:14:34How are the projections looking?
00:14:36We've added 20 new brand partners, and we're expecting 3 billion in profits this quarter.
00:14:39That's good. And how is our collaboration with Motion going?
00:14:43The representative of Motion's already meeting with them in conference room two.
00:14:46Okay.
00:14:46By the way, Bella was the correct community provider.
00:14:56Um, what are you doing here?
00:15:00Uh, business?
00:15:01What are you doing here?
00:15:04I have a meeting.
00:15:05See you.
00:15:16If this one doesn't work, I can always pin it on Serena.
00:15:24Hmm.
00:15:25These designs are really not what we're looking for.
00:15:28You know what, you're right.
00:15:29I had a rookie who started yesterday design these.
00:15:33I wanted her to practice.
00:15:35Bella, what are you talking about?
00:15:40Why don't you try these ones?
00:15:46These are top notch.
00:15:48Bella, how did you come up with these designs?
00:15:50I designed it this way because-
00:15:52Motion is our biggest brand partner.
00:15:54Don't see me out of turn.
00:15:55But I designed this not Bella Miller.
00:15:57What?
00:15:58Are you trying to steal my work?
00:15:59Only Bella and the company can do such high level work.
00:16:02I'm not lying.
00:16:03I drew this.
00:16:04I know these front to back.
00:16:05Stop!
00:16:06Are you trying to ruin this collaboration?
00:16:07I'm just telling the truth.
00:16:10How am I supposed to trust you guys with someone like this on your team?
00:16:14Who's arguing here?
00:16:16Sweetie, what brings you up here?
00:16:18President, this woman is trying to steal Bella's work.
00:16:20You need to change your hiring policies.
00:16:23Ethics is very important to us.
00:16:27I know Vera takes ethics very seriously as well.
00:16:30What's going on?
00:16:31I was just trying to give Serena a chance to practice.
00:16:34She's the one speaking out of turn.
00:16:36It's my work.
00:16:38You deserve to be fired for daring to claim my work as yours.
00:16:43I'm sorry, who's thinking about firing Serena?
00:16:52Well, well, well.
00:16:58Prodigal son returns.
00:16:59Turning over a new leaf?
00:17:00What do you want?
00:17:01A job?
00:17:02Oh, well, if you're offering, I will take the position of CEO.
00:17:07Aw, the filth couple shares their grandeur of delusion.
00:17:10You and your trash wife make a great trash couple.
00:17:13Why don't you go back to your trash heap and get out of here?
00:17:16Well, I'm sorry.
00:17:16Oh, okay.
00:17:17Well, I'll take up recycling later.
00:17:20Let me see the designs.
00:17:22Wow.
00:17:23You really do think you're CEO.
00:17:27Okay, these are clearly Serena's.
00:17:30What are you talking about?
00:17:32This is the work of a senior designer.
00:17:34No, I saw Serena drawing those last night.
00:17:36Serena, when did you draw those?
00:17:37Covering for someone you sleep with?
00:17:40That's low.
00:17:40Even for you.
00:17:41And why should anyone believe you?
00:17:43Well, I own the controlling shares here.
00:17:47I do own 50% of the company.
00:17:50Reginald is director and president here.
00:17:52Not anymore.
00:17:53What are you talking about?
00:17:54Oh, you didn't get the notice?
00:17:55I bought 50% of Inovar.
00:17:58What?
00:17:59That's impossible.
00:18:00The next board meeting?
00:18:02It's already over.
00:18:03Damon, what are you doing here?
00:18:06You betrayed me?
00:18:07I only served the true heir of the Owens family.
00:18:10Oh, hey, no, no.
00:18:13Reggie, just do your job as director
00:18:16and take up recycling.
00:18:18Don't think you've won.
00:18:19As director, I can still fire anyone who plagiarized.
00:18:22Well, Serena never plagiarized.
00:18:25The company computers keep a record
00:18:27of who logs in and does what works.
00:18:29It's pretty easy to check.
00:18:31Say anything and your brother gets it.
00:18:34No need.
00:18:35No need.
00:18:41Serena, what are you talking about?
00:18:43It's...
00:18:43It's the truth.
00:18:45Just drop it, please.
00:18:47Well, okay.
00:18:49How about a competition, then?
00:18:51To see who's the real deal.
00:18:53Works for me.
00:18:55Good.
00:18:56Inovar is hosting the IF design competition, so...
00:19:00That should do.
00:19:05You won't win so easily again.
00:19:09Okay.
00:19:12I was, um...
00:19:15Really shocked when you said that you own the company.
00:19:18Right. Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about that first.
00:19:20I, uh...
00:19:22Wanted everything to be settled.
00:19:25You helped me again.
00:19:27Uh...
00:19:27But aren't you a little...
00:19:29Worried that your brother's gonna seek revenge?
00:19:32No.
00:19:33No.
00:19:33It's...
00:19:34The Owen family way.
00:19:36It's been that way since...
00:19:38My grandpa brought me back from the orphanage ten years ago.
00:19:46No.
00:19:47I'm sorry, I gotta take this.
00:19:49Hello?
00:19:51Where are you now?
00:19:53Reginald's been here for a while.
00:19:55Yeah, okay.
00:19:56Yeah, didders.
00:20:00Sorry about that.
00:20:01I-I've gotta go.
00:20:02It's family stuff.
00:20:03Uh, of course.
00:20:05Enjoy the wine.
00:20:15And I told him, you call this caviar?
00:20:18Like, are you serious?
00:20:20Hey...
00:20:21Grandpa, I'm so sorry I'm here now.
00:20:23Where have you been?
00:20:24Don't be angry.
00:20:25You must have been...
00:20:27Busy with the wife.
00:20:28Always revolving around a woman.
00:20:31No time for your old granddad.
00:20:33Vincent probably didn't intentionally sneak to the board meeting.
00:20:35I'm sure he'll manage the company quite well.
00:20:38You guys are trying to kill me sooner.
00:20:40Well, how about this.
00:20:41How about a competition between me and Reginald then?
00:20:46You do understand your brother.
00:20:48But the Owen family is a family built off of design and capabilities.
00:20:53The IF design competition is in a week.
00:20:56If one of us can sign the best designer, then...
00:20:59That's a clear show superior skill.
00:21:02Alright.
00:21:02It's settled then.
00:21:06Oh, I don't think I have much time.
00:21:08Grandfather.
00:21:09Take care of yourself.
00:21:11I'll come see you tomorrow.
00:21:13Vincent, can you stay for a moment?
00:21:15I need to speak with you.
00:21:17Yes, of course.
00:21:18You are both my grandsons.
00:21:21And I remember, family is everything.
00:21:33I can't believe I actually won.
00:21:35Orr's designs are finally being recognized.
00:21:38I always knew it.
00:21:40Now everybody else does too.
00:21:44Famous designer?
00:21:45You're gonna be swamped with work.
00:21:47No.
00:21:48I need to focus on the IF design competition next week.
00:21:52Why?
00:21:53With your fame, you can easily get a lot of money without it.
00:21:57I made a bet.
00:21:59With Bella Miller.
00:22:01That's crazy.
00:22:04Let me guess.
00:22:05This has something to do with your husband, Vincent?
00:22:10Okay.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:13You two seem to be getting along quite well.
00:22:16He's good to me.
00:22:18He feels familiar, like an old friend.
00:22:21The news has been buzzing.
00:22:23They got a dark horse this year.
00:22:26I'll contact Aura and send her an invite to collaborate with us.
00:22:28No.
00:22:31I will send her an invite personally.
00:22:37Who is this Aura?
00:22:39And how come I've never heard of her?
00:22:41Well, she wasn't very famous before.
00:22:43She made deals in high tech.
00:22:45Rumor is she is young.
00:22:46Contact her now.
00:22:48She won't refuse an invite from someone as esteemed as me.
00:22:52Yes, President.
00:22:57So, how is the preparation for the contest going?
00:23:00Grandpa, I'm basically ready.
00:23:02My people have already sent an invite to Aura.
00:23:04Well, I felt that respect needs to be shown on a personal level.
00:23:08And so, I'm sending one to Aura personally.
00:23:12You also sent her an invitation?
00:23:14Good job, Vincent.
00:23:16You just want another pretty tale to change, don't you?
00:23:19No, no, no. Enough squabbling.
00:23:20Look, I expect much out of both of you.
00:23:22So, just sign her.
00:23:24Show me you've got what it takes.
00:23:31Wow.
00:23:32Somebody's getting good news.
00:23:36No, not really.
00:23:38Reginald Owens just sent me an invitation to be a judge.
00:23:43I wonder what he would say if he knew you were Aura.
00:23:49More invites?
00:23:50Show me, show me.
00:23:53Vincent just sent me an invitation too.
00:23:56Aren't you popular?
00:23:57Two guys fighting over you at the same time?
00:24:00No, it's not like that.
00:24:02He's the new chairman and we've both been really busy.
00:24:05We've really not talked at all.
00:24:07Are you going to kick Bella Miller's ass as yourself?
00:24:12Mm-hmm.
00:24:26That looks amazing.
00:24:28Almost done, just need a few adjustments.
00:24:32That looks so good.
00:24:33Do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?
00:24:35No worries, I'll go with you.
00:24:37Yeah.
00:24:53She's Aura?
00:25:02Yeah, I'm happy I went with blue design.
00:25:05I don't pay you to slack off.
00:25:07Back to work.
00:25:09You know it.
00:25:11Won't lose to you this time.
00:25:19I have something to tell you.
00:25:21I know who the Aura is.
00:25:24Serena Collins.
00:25:27Are you serious?
00:25:28Absolutely.
00:25:29I wanted to see what she was preparing for the contest and I found this.
00:25:34I can't believe the Aura, my idol in design school, is that disgusting leech.
00:25:39I even copied her style for my thesis.
00:25:41No matter.
00:25:42I must sign her first.
00:25:44You know, I could be Aura.
00:25:48With these unpublished designs, we could live good for ages.
00:25:51Not feasible.
00:25:53Vincent might already know.
00:25:55He isn't as dumb as he looks.
00:25:56Besides, grandfather isn't as easy to fool.
00:26:00And you are no Aura.
00:26:03So, what's your plan?
00:26:05I want her to sign with us willingly.
00:26:09Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:26:10You still can't find Leon?
00:26:12They've been quite greedy.
00:26:14Asking for money all the time.
00:26:15Okay, I know this isn't your fault, but I've had enough of this.
00:26:18You need to tell Bruce to find him by whatever means.
00:26:21But cautiously.
00:26:26Copy that.
00:26:39Why haven't you released Leon yet?
00:26:41What the hell do you want from me?
00:26:43Ten million for ten years.
00:26:45That's a fair price, no?
00:26:47Time is worth its fading gold after all.
00:26:50You thieving bastards.
00:26:52Contributing to the family is what you should have been doing.
00:26:55Be grateful we are letting you off this easy.
00:26:57Where am I supposed to get that much money?
00:26:59I have a solution.
00:27:00One big happy ending for everybody.
00:27:03Go on, I'll handle this.
00:27:05Save your mockeries for another day.
00:27:12What do you want?
00:27:13I'm in no mood for your games.
00:27:15I always hated how stupid the two of them were.
00:27:18All they see is money.
00:27:21Not talent.
00:27:23Laura.
00:27:23What are you talking about?
00:27:24My Reginald is so resourceful.
00:27:28Nothing is hidden from his eagle eyes.
00:27:33If you're just gonna spew your lovey-dovey crap,
00:27:36I'm leaving.
00:27:37Sign an exclusive contract with Reginald.
00:27:41And I'll shoo away the vultures.
00:27:46And why aren't you signing me?
00:27:48Really?
00:27:49All that firecracker spirit and still not an ounce of brain in there.
00:27:53We're accessories to the men.
00:27:54Surely Vincent bought you for the same reason.
00:27:56Vincent is not like that.
00:27:58He didn't buy me.
00:28:00Don't be so naive.
00:28:02Love can be bought.
00:28:04Like anything in this world.
00:28:05And Reginald can offer you twice what he can.
00:28:09He didn't bribe me.
00:28:10Why would he be so nice to you?
00:28:12Unless he knew who you were.
00:28:16No.
00:28:17I didn't tell him I was Aura.
00:28:19Well, I mean, if Reginald can figure it out with just a little bit of digging, I'm sure Vincent can
00:28:24too.
00:28:25Oh, you still think he's your white knight?
00:28:27Well, if he is, why hasn't he found your brother yet?
00:28:30Or maybe he'll dangle it over your head to use your help.
00:28:35Stop.
00:28:35Play for the winning side.
00:28:37My darling sister, it's the only way to be free and do what you want.
00:28:41And who knows what the notorious Vincent will do to your brother once he gets his hands on him.
00:28:45At least with us.
00:28:46You know where you stand.
00:28:53You have three days to decide.
00:28:55If you join us, your brother goes free and she'll be rewarded handsomely.
00:29:00Is he helping me just to use me?
00:29:04Can I really trust him?
00:29:13Hey.
00:29:16How's your day?
00:29:18Are these the, uh, designs that you're submitting to the competition?
00:29:22What do you think?
00:29:23I mean, these are gonna win, surely.
00:29:25You're gonna do great.
00:29:27But, hey, um, afterwards, would you be willing to sign with me?
00:29:31But I'm already a designer at Inovar.
00:29:34I know.
00:29:35But I think we can make a lot of money with these.
00:29:38Is this why you've been helping me?
00:29:40Look, Serena, I can't lie.
00:29:42I mean, having these designs would help me.
00:29:43But I also care about you and what's best for you.
00:29:46And I want you to be happy.
00:29:48Hey, look, I appreciate you.
00:29:52Are my designs all that you're after?
00:29:55Is this all that there is to us?
00:30:02Serena, I, okay, you are an incredibly talented designer.
00:30:08Am I just a designer to you?
00:30:10I mean, don't you want to be the most talented designer?
00:30:13Maybe.
00:30:15I don't know.
00:30:19Wait, hey, hey.
00:30:22I'll accompany you to the awards tomorrow.
00:30:24How about that?
00:30:28Sefora still hasn't responded to the invite.
00:30:31That's alright.
00:30:31Because I actually have a better candidate in mind.
00:30:35My wife.
00:30:37Serena Collins.
00:30:38Is the contract gonna be exclusive?
00:30:40No, look, I've seen her work.
00:30:42And interestingly enough, it's similar, but somehow better.
00:30:47Well, there isn't much to worry about then.
00:30:50I trust your judgment.
00:30:51Well, good.
00:30:52Drop some paperwork then.
00:30:54Give her the voting shares and promote her to the gold tier designer position.
00:30:59Good?
00:31:00Alright.
00:31:09Zora.
00:31:10What should I do?
00:31:11I can't stop thinking about what Bella said.
00:31:14Is that all there is?
00:31:15Am I just profit margins on a checklist?
00:31:18Does he like me?
00:31:19Or just my skills?
00:31:21Marriage itself is an exchange of interests.
00:31:26But that doesn't mean that you should settle without loving someone, or liking them at least.
00:31:31The way he looks at me.
00:31:40Oh my god.
00:31:41It's just monst-
00:31:43Listen.
00:31:44Forget about that.
00:31:47If you don't live your life for yourself, nobody will.
00:31:52What does your heart say?
00:31:58Leon is my only family.
00:32:00And Vincent.
00:32:02He's just-
00:32:04I just can't make the same mistake again.
00:32:11I gotta-
00:32:19Wait.
00:32:22Why did he do this?
00:32:24Now I look like just some trophy wife like Bella.
00:32:28No.
00:32:29No.
00:32:30I gotta respond.
00:32:30It's just gossip, honey.
00:32:33The vultures have no idea what they're talking about.
00:32:36It's okay.
00:32:38They have no idea.
00:32:51You're gonna win for sure.
00:32:52I think Serena is the dark horse here.
00:32:55She may not have the experience, but she absolutely has the skill.
00:32:58Aura's going to be here too.
00:33:00I wanna see if I can get an autograph.
00:33:02We meet again.
00:33:03May the best woman win.
00:33:05Maybe you should ask for mercy now and spare yourself the embarrassment.
00:33:09Why do you always have to be like this?
00:33:11I heard Aura's gonna be one of the judges today.
00:33:14The mysterious designer who came out of nowhere.
00:33:18What fun.
00:33:19Isn't it obvious?
00:33:20I'm looking forward to it.
00:33:23Thank you all for coming to the IF Design Competition.
00:33:26Let's welcome our judges.
00:33:28Welcome Dorothy.
00:33:30The President of the Royal Design Academy.
00:33:35Last but not least, let's give a warm welcome to our guest judge.
00:33:40The Amazing Aura.
00:33:51Wow, maybe the great and mighty Aura is looking down on us all right now.
00:33:56Will she grace us with her presence?
00:33:59Really not showing up?
00:34:01Aura never shows her face in public.
00:34:03It's not that irregular.
00:34:05Let's just go ahead and move this along.
00:34:08I will now officially announce today's winner.
00:34:12The third place goes to...
00:34:15Melody Swee!
00:34:20The second place goes to...
00:34:24Bella Miller!
00:34:28Second place is also good, Bella.
00:34:31The winner of this competition...
00:34:36Hurry up, who is it?
00:34:37The first place goes to...
00:34:41Serena Collins!
00:34:44Serena Collins!
00:34:44Oh, you are amazing!
00:34:49Look, there's your design draft.
00:34:51Oh my god, look at the signature!
00:35:00Oh my god, look at the signature!
00:35:03Well, well, well.
00:35:04Aura graces with their presence after all.
00:35:07Um, congratulations on winning first place, Serena.
00:35:09I'm really happy for you.
00:35:11But why didn't you...
00:35:12Oh, Genius Designer!
00:35:13May I invite you to talk by the sky bar?
00:35:15Serena, I...
00:35:16You both want me to sign a contract with you?
00:35:19I value talent.
00:35:21Business is business, no?
00:35:23And you?
00:35:25Serena, it's your choice, whatever you choose.
00:35:27I just...
00:35:28I want you to be happy.
00:35:30You want me to be happy?
00:35:32Are you helping me, or are you helping yourself?
00:35:36Ms. Collins, I believe actions speak louder than words.
00:35:39Therefore, I'm willing to pay you this check of $10 million.
00:35:43As a signing bonus!
00:35:45And I can pay you double, for whatever price you ask for.
00:35:48That's not a deal you can get anywhere else.
00:35:49Serena, hey, look, look at me.
00:35:51It's me, let's just talk about this.
00:35:54Money is no object.
00:35:56Whatever he can offer, I can double it.
00:35:58I won't sign with the both of you.
00:36:00I'm tired.
00:36:02Stop following me.
00:36:03Serena, hey, no!
00:36:08See?
00:36:09This is all they want.
00:36:10And you can have everything you want, too.
00:36:13Money, power, even love.
00:36:16All in exchange for each other's desires.
00:36:19If you're going to be a tool, you might as well get paid for it.
00:36:22Can you stop talking?
00:36:25Serena, don't listen to her.
00:36:27Tool?
00:36:28And don't forget about your brother, too.
00:36:48If I sign this, will you release my brother?
00:36:51Of course!
00:36:52All debts will be erased.
00:36:54I'm a man of my word.
00:36:57A man of my word.
00:36:59What?
00:37:00If I sign this, will you release my brother?
00:37:04This contract will be presented to my grandfather.
00:37:06Can't wait to save it a look on Vincent's face.
00:37:10No. I won't help you anymore.
00:37:13And besides, why do I have to meet your grandfather?
00:37:15My grandfather loves your work.
00:37:18I won't be involved with this anymore.
00:37:21You already are involved. This is how the game is played.
00:37:32Here's a check.
00:37:38Your brother means nothing to me.
00:37:41At least you have the decency to cultivate a useful talent.
00:37:44The most significant he can achieve in this life is leverage.
00:37:52Leon.
00:37:54They say they're letting me out today.
00:37:57Wherever you are, I will find you.
00:37:59See?
00:38:01Isn't it good playing for the winning side?
00:38:20I'm sorry, Vinny.
00:38:22It was a new guy from Legal. He's fired now and taken care of.
00:38:27He didn't know much anyway.
00:38:30Some of the staff heard the news and thought speeding up the hiring policy would please you.
00:38:40I have to explain this to Serena. I just, I can't, I can't lose her this way.
00:38:57Yeah.
00:38:58Hey, brother. Want to visit our grandfather?
00:39:03Okay, yeah. I'll be right there.
00:39:08Grandfather, I have good news. I think I found the one.
00:39:11So soon. Who is it?
00:39:14Indulge me a little. The suspense is good for the soul.
00:39:17Oh, you and your theatrics.
00:39:20Vincent, are you prepared also?
00:39:23Yes, I have a candidate in mind, but I'm still working on it.
00:39:26Okay, we'll hear from Reginald then.
00:39:28I signed, the one and only, Ora.
00:39:37This is impressive. She's quite talented, Reginald.
00:39:41Yes. I remember you mentioning admiring her work and I thought, who better than someone like that?
00:39:47When did Ora agree to sign with you? I mean, did you do something to her?
00:39:51Trade secrets. All I can say is, she was more than happy to sign once she saw the zeros on
00:39:56the check.
00:39:57No, no. Serena's not the type to be moved by money. What did you do to her?
00:40:01So, you both know her? That's interesting. I'd like to meet this woman.
00:40:06Grandpa, you can meet her now.
00:40:08Jesus Designer, come in!
00:40:12Serena, what are you doing here? I mean, did he do something to you?
00:40:22Hello, I'm Ora, the creator of Azur Nebula.
00:40:27I didn't expect you to be so young. Reginald, you did well.
00:40:31Grandpa, our previous agreement?
00:40:34No, there's one week left. If you could match his offer.
00:40:39Yes, Grandpa.
00:40:42Hey, wait, Serena, Serena, come on. Hey, help me.
00:40:46Is what he said in there true? Why did you sign with him? I mean, did he do something to
00:40:50you?
00:40:54Why did you sign with him?
00:40:56It's none of your business. I am not your property. I don't need to respond to anything.
00:41:00That's not, that's not what I meant. He doesn't care about you. He just wants you through your designs.
00:41:05He appreciates my work. I also appreciate your work and you.
00:41:11Or is it because I'm Ora? Or is it because you're so set on winning some pissing contest with your
00:41:17brother?
00:41:17You really think I would only sign you because of Ora?
00:41:20Enough with your games. At least Reginald is honest about why he wants my work. You, you can't even be
00:41:26honest with me.
00:41:27Do you really not note my feelings for you?
00:41:29Okay, I don't care about the money or who you sign with.
00:41:34Why didn't you at least talk to me about this first?
00:41:37I am just your wife on paper. I'm not even the real Bella Miller. Why do you care so much?
00:41:43Because they're deceiving you.
00:41:47Do you really think I don't care about you?
00:41:51Serena, Serena, wait.
00:41:59Where is my brother?
00:42:02How can someone draw such pretty designs yet be as dumb as a sack of rocks?
00:42:07The game isn't over yet.
00:42:09Your brother stays until Reginald inherits.
00:42:12What does any of this have to do with me?
00:42:15He who signs the best designer shall inherit the house.
00:42:18And that right now...
00:42:20Is you?
00:42:22Reginald thinks he won't buck, but I know better than to count my chickens before they hatch.
00:42:28See?
00:42:32All of this over an inheritance.
00:42:40See?
00:42:41You actually can think.
00:42:44And I'm just a pawn in your game, right?
00:42:47You, Vincent, Reginald, you are all the same.
00:42:53How can you be so good at drawing yet so thick when it comes to people?
00:42:58I can't believe you would betray the only man who loves you for your useless flesh brother.
00:43:03Don't talk about my brother like that.
00:43:05You're doing the same thing for your family.
00:43:08Blood is thicker than water.
00:43:11Actually, it's the blood of the Covenant that is thicker than the water of the womb.
00:43:16Common mistake amongst feeble-minded fools.
00:43:19I'm not doing this for family.
00:43:21Then why?
00:43:22Why are you doing this?
00:43:25Survival.
00:43:27I'm a survivor.
00:43:29I've learned a long time ago that if you're not taking, you'll be taken from.
00:43:41All I wanted was to design jewelry and they...
00:43:45I didn't ask for any of this.
00:43:47I know.
00:43:47They just are all the same.
00:43:49All of them and...
00:43:52They uprooted my life?
00:43:55For stupid bets.
00:43:57It fell in their hand like a damn fiddle.
00:43:59I really don't think that's the case.
00:44:01You just met him, right?
00:44:02If you were a tool, he would have made you do every single thing that he wanted.
00:44:08I really don't think that he knew.
00:44:10I know that I don't know your husband very well, but he seemed genuinely happy for you when you won.
00:44:16I just... I don't know.
00:44:18I know that this is a game that rich people play, but at least he never hurt you.
00:44:23I didn't know the stakes were going to be this high.
00:44:26It feels like his family or mine and maybe, maybe I am just like them.
00:44:40Hey, Blake.
00:44:42Look, Serena wasn't home last night.
00:44:44Just make sure she's okay.
00:44:48Right. I'll bring her back ASAP.
00:44:50No, don't do that.
00:44:53Just...
00:44:53Make sure she's safe.
00:44:56Thanks.
00:45:01How have you been?
00:45:03Have you found the designer yet?
00:45:06Not yet.
00:45:08You better hurry up.
00:45:09Only three days left.
00:45:11Now remember, the designer you found must present the best draft.
00:45:16That was the bet.
00:45:18Oh...
00:45:18You'll definitely be impressed, Grandpa.
00:45:26Sir, Miss Tracy's back in town.
00:45:29She'd like to have dinner with you.
00:45:31Miss Tracy said she can help you.
00:45:48What do you want from me this time?
00:45:50I need your best work.
00:45:52Give us Azure Nebula.
00:45:53I've done everything you've asked me to do.
00:45:56Azure Nebula was completed before the contract was signed.
00:45:59I need your approval to use it.
00:46:02Is this another one of your petty squabbles for the inheritance?
00:46:06I won't do it. I will not be a pawn for you.
00:46:08Then your brother is worm food.
00:46:10Thanks.
00:46:18I will get you for this.
00:46:21Bring the designs to swap for your brother tomorrow.
00:46:28There's less than three days left.
00:46:31Sir...
00:46:32You gotta do something.
00:46:34How's Serena doing?
00:46:36Well...
00:46:36She got pretty drunk and went to meet up with Bella.
00:46:39Sir, you need to worry about yourself first.
00:46:42By now, they might have squeezed a better design out of her,
00:46:44so we need to do something.
00:46:46Well, if we can't find somebody, then...
00:46:48I'm gonna have to do it myself.
00:46:52What? You don't believe me?
00:46:53No, I...
00:46:54I'm just worried about the time.
00:46:56Their trump card must be Azure Nebula,
00:46:58and I don't know if we can beat that.
00:47:02Yeah, come in.
00:47:13Are you busy?
00:47:16No, of course not, Serena. Yeah, yeah, please.
00:47:21I have something to...
00:47:22I have something to...
00:47:23Tell him.
00:47:24You go first.
00:47:25Okay, I came here to tell you that I had no idea it would affect your inheritance.
00:47:31I'm so sorry, but I don't have another choice.
00:47:34Don't sweat it.
00:47:35It's not over until the fat lady sings anyway, right?
00:47:40You might need to find a new designer.
00:47:42Just don't worry about it.
00:47:44Here.
00:47:45Thanks.
00:47:48Also, um...
00:47:49Look, I wanted to tell you...
00:47:52I'm not...
00:47:53helping you because you're a part of some sort of scheme to get my father's inheritance or anything like that.
00:47:58When I saw your designs, I was truly inspired.
00:48:02I thought you'd be a better designer than Aura. That's why I signed you.
00:48:05You didn't know I was Aura?
00:48:07I didn't, no.
00:48:09I was wondering if she would show up. I just had no clue that...
00:48:13it should be you.
00:48:17Also, one more thing.
00:48:18I'm so sorry about all of this drama with the media people.
00:48:22I wasn't trying to pressure you into signing with me.
00:48:25It's...
00:48:26some leaked information.
00:48:30Vincent...
00:48:32I'm sorry that it hasn't come to this.
00:48:34No, look, it's okay.
00:48:35You don't need to apologize.
00:48:36I respect your decisions.
00:48:38I just wish I could have explained myself a little bit sooner.
00:48:42Sorry, one second.
00:48:45Yeah?
00:48:49You found Leon?
00:48:56You found Leon?
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:01Yeah, okay, I'll call you back.
00:49:04Bruce just got Bella's video that she sent.
00:49:07He traced it to somewhere in the North District.
00:49:09They might be able to find Leon soon.
00:49:11And then I can go see my brother?
00:49:12Yes!
00:49:15Why are you helping me so much?
00:49:18Serena, what kind of a question is that?
00:49:20You are my wife. I will protect you.
00:49:22Always.
00:49:23I'm sorry, Vincent.
00:49:25I really thought I...
00:49:27Stop apologizing.
00:49:28I didn't explain myself well.
00:49:31As well.
00:49:33What should we do?
00:49:36Well, um...
00:49:37I do have a plan B.
00:49:39Do you need my hand?
00:49:40And what plan is that?
00:49:42Oh, Tracy, don't you ever knock?
00:49:45I'll be lucky I didn't come through the window.
00:49:47Mm-hmm.
00:49:49Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:50What are you doing here?
00:49:52Oh, don't you remember?
00:49:54I'm plan B.
00:50:00I can just wait outside.
00:50:02No, no, Serena.
00:50:03It's not what it looks like.
00:50:04It's not...
00:50:05Okay, Tracy, can you please let go of me?
00:50:08Who is that woman?
00:50:10What are you playing dumb?
00:50:11That's your sister-in-law.
00:50:13You said you would marry me!
00:50:16Oh, how could you?
00:50:19Okay, what do you want this time?
00:50:20Did you see how jealous she looked?
00:50:22Yeah.
00:50:23Oh, she looked like she wanted to curse me with a voodoo doll.
00:50:26You guys need to cut this sad love story thing and just kiss already.
00:50:31You guys are practically, I mean, heck, you're literally already married.
00:50:33Yeah, uh, please get to the point.
00:50:36Ten million and these are yours.
00:50:44I thought I got the friends and family discount.
00:50:46That is the friends and family discount.
00:50:50This is pretty good.
00:50:53Pretty good?
00:50:54Mm-hmm.
00:50:55I will have you know I am one of, if not the best in the business.
00:50:59Am I on that list?
00:51:00You still draw?
00:51:04Is that it yet?
00:51:05It's just, I'll consider it.
00:51:08Okay, take your time.
00:51:10Okay, I'm gonna go talk to your new wife.
00:51:12Maybe I'll tell her your bedwetting story.
00:51:14But no, please, please don't do that.
00:51:15Don't.
00:51:15Oh, no, no promises.
00:51:43I never thought that one day I might be able to give this to you.
00:51:50I always thought, would you like it?
00:51:56Who was that woman who just waltzed into the chairman's office?
00:52:00Could she be a suitor or maybe a lover?
00:52:03Well, she did barge in without being scolded.
00:52:06Maybe she's his someone.
00:52:09She was wearing all designer bling, too.
00:52:12Clearly some rich girl.
00:52:13Also, she was carrying a sketchbook.
00:52:16Aura, the great designer, are you pretending you aren't curious?
00:52:20What should I be curious about?
00:52:23She wasn't carrying a design sketch, was she?
00:52:25She's coming over.
00:52:32Your aura?
00:52:35Huh.
00:52:36Your designs are pretty good.
00:52:38Hey, you're a designer, too.
00:52:40Can we see some of your sketches?
00:52:43Google Tracy Winston.
00:52:49Oh my gosh.
00:52:50So she's their aura, huh?
00:52:53Not bad.
00:52:55Look at this.
00:52:56Not bad at all.
00:52:57She's the heiress to the Winston legacy.
00:53:00Jealous?
00:53:01I would be.
00:53:03I don't even think the great aura can compare to that.
00:53:16But how did he know my dream is to be the best designer?
00:53:20No.
00:53:21I already cost him so much.
00:53:23I can't presume I am his anything.
00:53:26Who is Tracy Winston?
00:53:28Seems like they have a close relationship.
00:53:34The sand is running out in your brother's hourglass.
00:53:37I've told you, I won't do it.
00:53:39Kitty getting her claws out.
00:53:41Well, I can scratch, too.
00:53:45Leon!
00:53:46Stop!
00:53:49What has she gotten herself into?
00:53:52It's funny, isn't it?
00:53:54Even the most useless family member could be the move that took me.
00:53:58Tell me where Leon is and I'll give you the design draft.
00:54:02Ten o'clock.
00:54:02Come to the warehouse.
00:54:04And don't be late.
00:54:06I'm not selling any sand for your brother's hourglass.
00:54:09I'll send you the coordinates.
00:54:11The south warehouse?
00:54:13Call the cops.
00:54:14And I'll make sure his funeral is a closed casket one, too.
00:54:40I don't like this.
00:54:43We're looking desperate.
00:54:44We're not the ones that are desperate.
00:54:46She is.
00:54:50And you didn't tell anyone where we kept her, right?
00:54:54I didn't.
00:54:56I didn't.
00:54:57I swear.
00:54:59What would I gain from telling her?
00:55:08Well, if it wasn't you, then it could only be him.
00:55:10A few people were found in the north warehouse.
00:55:12Maybe G13.
00:55:16He could be hiring them to find the boy.
00:55:18This could ruin me.
00:55:20Did he find us?
00:55:23What if he comes for us?
00:55:24Don't worry about us.
00:55:26That woman is my bargaining chick.
00:55:30I can't believe he cares so much about her.
00:55:33Then their weakness for each other will be their downfall.
00:55:37Would I be your weakness, then?
00:55:54Should I tell, Vincent?
00:56:21Hey, is, um, is Tracy still with Serena?
00:56:27uh seems they left the office already serena should be home by now

01:09:15Okay.
01:09:16Okay.
01:09:42Leon?
01:09:44You're awake.
01:09:45Are you hurt?
01:09:47No, no.
01:09:48I'm fine.
01:09:49I'm sorry.
01:09:51It's my fault.
01:09:52I didn't take care of you.
01:09:54No, it's not.
01:09:55It's not your fault.
01:09:55I'm just so glad that you're safe.
01:09:58So this husband of yours doesn't need a brotherly talk?
01:10:04No, stop it, Leon.
01:10:07I might be important, but I'm not that important.
01:10:12Come in.
01:10:18Mr. Owens.
01:10:19Oh, no, no.
01:10:20Don't.
01:10:21No, get up.
01:10:22Please, sit down.
01:10:23Oh, thank you.
01:10:28Look, I'm just here to apologize for my family and my grandson.
01:10:33I am just so very sorry you had to go through all this.
01:10:38Reginald has been arrested.
01:10:40It's time he's learned his lesson.
01:10:43And Vincent has told me everything.
01:10:47He's much like his mother.
01:10:50Kind, pure of heart, thinking of others.
01:10:54His father concentrated on business.
01:10:58He didn't pay much attention at home.
01:11:00If he had, maybe we wouldn't all be in so much trouble.
01:11:06That's why he grew up in the orphanage.
01:11:11Hey.
01:11:13Grandpa.
01:11:14Vincent.
01:11:15You're here.
01:11:16I am.
01:11:17Hi.
01:11:26I'm really sorry for signing with them.
01:11:28I should have known better.
01:11:30It's okay.
01:11:30Don't apologize.
01:11:31You did nothing wrong.
01:11:33I should be apologizing.
01:11:34I mean, I put what I thought was important over everything.
01:11:39I mean, over you.
01:11:41And it caught you in danger.
01:11:44I just wish I could have explained everything to you a little bit sooner so that we could have avoided
01:11:48a lot of this.
01:11:50By the way, Mr. Owens told me that Reginald is in jail.
01:11:54Do you know if Bella's there too?
01:11:57Unfortunately, yes.
01:11:59That rat Reginald blames Bella for everything and she might be in trouble.
01:12:05Serena, look, I was so consumed by vengeance for a time that all I could think about was avenging my
01:12:13mother, taking back the family.
01:12:17When I found out that you were in danger, nothing else mattered anymore.
01:12:22All I could think about was you.
01:12:26I know what you mean.
01:12:28When I was at the warehouse yesterday, I thought about trading my life for my brothers.
01:12:38I'm with you.
01:12:42You mentioned that Tracy called?
01:12:45Yeah, she saw you having coffee and followed you, called us.
01:12:51She's a big girl. I wouldn't worry about her.
01:12:53She's tougher than she looks and she'll be fine.
01:12:56Well, aren't you going to go see her?
01:12:59She's got family there. What am I going to do?
01:13:03Oh, okay.
01:13:06We kind of grew up together. She's like an annoying little sister to me.
01:13:10She wasn't my plan B.
01:13:12If that's what you were thinking.
01:13:14Mm-hmm.
01:13:15Mm-hmm.
01:13:15So what was your plan B?
01:13:18You want to see it?
01:13:26Do you like it?
01:13:28It's a gift for you.
01:13:31It's not quite there yet.
01:13:34We're still improving on the design.
01:13:36Do you know who designed this?
01:13:38Right in front of you.
01:13:40Yeah, I know.
01:13:41I'm not just a pretty face that you know.
01:13:45I've had the idea drawn up for a long time, but you were the primary inspiration.
01:13:51Because without you, no jewelry would ever shine.
01:13:57And I want to do this one together.
01:14:00Because now that you're here, by my side, my world is complete.
01:14:10Vincent.
01:14:24Wait, try this one.
01:14:28Perfect.
01:14:29It's good?
01:14:30Yeah.
01:14:31All right.
01:14:31It's great.
01:14:32It's good.
01:14:33And then at the top, you need to probably work on that.
01:14:39It's good.
01:14:39It's good.
01:14:49There it is.
01:14:53Let's give it a name.
01:14:56Okay.
01:14:58Eternal Love.
01:15:03You know, for the past 10 years, I've waited.
01:15:09And have dreamt of this moment.
01:15:12Every single day.
01:15:28It's you?
01:15:31Kept you waiting, huh?
01:15:34Here.
01:15:38Oh, sorry.
01:15:41Put it in a safe place.
01:15:43Because we do have a bit of a replacement for you.
01:15:46All right.
01:15:47Here.
01:15:47Thanks.
01:15:51Here we go.
01:15:54It's really you.
01:15:57You.
01:16:01I finally found you.
01:16:07Grandpa.
01:16:08Vincent!
01:16:09Serena!
01:16:10Oh!
01:16:10You guys are okay!
01:16:11Oh my gosh!
01:16:12I was so worried.
01:16:13There was just this guy and then...
01:16:14We're okay.
01:16:15We're okay.
01:16:16Really.
01:16:17Tracy.
01:16:18Tracy, take a breath.
01:16:20You're doing that chipmunk squeal again.
01:16:26In front of Grandfather.
01:16:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:28Get out of here.
01:16:29That's it.
01:16:34This is the necklace that we designed.
01:16:38Oh.
01:16:38Eternal Love.
01:16:45I like it very much.
01:16:49Well, looks like you two have won the bet.
01:16:52Well, since that business is out of the way, there is one more thing.
01:16:55When am I going to seek some grandkids?
01:16:58I'm not going to live forever, right?
01:16:59Not yet, Grandpa.
01:17:01Not yet.
01:17:01There's one thing that I want to do first.
01:17:06I would like to give Serena here a proper wedding.
01:17:34Thank you for being in my life.
01:17:38For it is now brighter than ever before.
01:17:42Thank you for everything.
01:17:47My home is now wherever you are.
01:18:03Why are you two here?
01:18:05Stata, you greet your mother?
01:18:06I don't have time for this.
01:18:08I will call the police if I have to.
01:18:10You have to help Bella.
01:18:11You can't just leave her in there to die.
01:18:13What kind of mother wishes death upon her own flesh and blood?
01:18:17You don't know.
01:18:19The police told us that Bella tried to commit suicide.
01:18:23That bastard Sir Reginald Owens.
01:18:26He blamed everything on her.
01:18:27He even took her money.
01:18:29Just look at us.
01:18:29We can't live like this.
01:18:30That money wasn't yours to spend in the first place.
01:18:34I'm...
01:18:35Please.
01:18:37Uh...
01:18:38I'm...
01:18:39Bella.
01:18:41You know she doesn't have many friends.
01:18:43She needs your help.
01:18:45All right.
01:18:46I will go and see her.
01:18:48Go.
01:18:49That's my girl.
01:18:50Get out of here.
01:19:16Let me guess.
01:19:17Mom cried her crocodile tears.
01:19:20She cares about you.
01:19:22You know that.
01:19:23If you had said dad, I would have believed you.
01:19:25That harlot only cares about money.
01:19:28So are you just gonna sit there and take this?
01:19:31That's not the Bella that I know.
01:19:33The Bella that I know doesn't roll over for anyone.
01:19:36Not any woman.
01:19:37And certainly not a man.
01:19:39You think I don't...
01:19:42Nice try.
01:19:45I lost.
01:19:47Remember.
01:19:49But I won't be anyone's pawn again.
01:19:51I clawed my way across the board to become queen.
01:19:54But I was thrown away like a pawn anyway.
01:19:56Reginald has taken everything from you.
01:19:59Are you gonna let him win?
01:20:01Are you gonna let him take your life, too?
01:20:05No, you're right.
01:20:07If I don't fight back...
01:20:09I'll just be another piece of trash he used.
01:20:12No, you're right.
01:20:13I'll just be another piece of trash he used.
01:20:13And dumped.
01:20:27I hate to admit it, but um...
01:20:32Kinda liked seeing you again.
01:20:34I don't even know how we've had this ÈBate .
