01:25jagged edge I didn't have to wait long an hour later a messenger arrived at our humble apartment
01:34with a thick envelope it wasn't a thank you note for the dinner it was a divorce settlement
01:40Alexia didn't even have the courage to tell me to my face
01:50her voice echoed from a pre-recorded voice note

02:32Philippe watch worth more than their fake tycoon's entire life let's see how long your prince lasts
02:38when I cut off his air supply I dialed my CFO the man in the Hilton penthouse Willie Vance
02:46he's using a line of credit from our subsidiary cancel it now
02:53and by the Hilton I want to be their landlord by sunrise
02:59the next morning I walked into the Hilton lobby I wasn't wearing my delivery uniform
03:05I was in a bespoke Italian suit that cost $30,000 good morning Mr. Westfold
03:21but to Alexia and Cora who were heading to the breakfast buffet with Willie I was just an eyesore

27:00i need to know if the woman you chose loves the man or the crown
27:03if he ever approaches you
27:04know that it is my final lesson from beyond the grave
27:07wealth is a filter ethan
27:08it filters out the fake until only the truth remains
27:15willie had gone rogue
27:17but the test had worked exactly as my father intended
27:22i looked at cora who was playing with the dog in the field
27:27she had survived the filter
27:29everything happens for a reason
27:31years later cora would take over the foundation
27:34becoming a leader known for her wisdom
27:36and humility
27:38sometimes people ask if i miss the tycoon life
27:41i just point to the sunset over the mountains
27:43and the laughter of my daughter
27:44i found the real treasure a long time ago
27:47and it never needed a gold watch to shine
27:49Oh
