00:00:02I've been this man's mistress for five years.

00:00:05I loved him, but he only saw me as a substitute.

00:00:08I don't regret it, because those five years of humility were the debt I owed him.

00:00:18Elena's back in the country. Just landed. You need to leave this villa.

00:00:22Now?

00:00:22Immediately. Clean up any trace of you having lived here. I don't want her to know you slept here.

00:00:28Okay.

00:00:30Elena is back. My days as the substitute are finally over. I'm finally free.

00:00:36In our freshman year, both Elena and I were poor students living on scholarships.

00:00:41But with that innocent face of hers, she became the goddess of every man on campus,

00:00:46including the heir to a top-tier family, Logan.

00:00:49Elena, come to the Grammy Awards with me. Seats like these aren't something you can just buy with money.

00:00:54Sorry, I need to go to the library to study. Mr. Logan,

00:00:57your money can buy everything, but it can't buy my respect.

00:01:05You're broke too, right? Help me win her over.

00:01:08If she falls for me, I'll fund you.

00:01:10I knew Elena was just playing hard to get, but my father was hospitalized,

00:01:13and I was even about to drop out of school because of it.

00:01:15So I desperately needed that money to save him.

00:01:18Deal.

00:01:18Elena got a top-tier university offer to Cambridge funded by Logan,

00:01:23and I, I became her substitute.

00:01:26Logan's caged canori.

00:01:31They think I've been discarded.

00:01:33That I'll become the laughing-ass gang of the world.

00:01:41Miss Ava, Lucas, the chief of Operation Liberty Finance,

00:01:44been waiting for you for three hours, ready to sign the contract with you.

00:01:50Okay.

00:01:52Actually, the life that truly belongs to me is just beginning.

00:01:56Having broken free from the shackles of the debt of gratitude,

00:01:59I will become the queen of this world.

00:02:08Ava,

00:02:09It's been five years.

00:02:11Our CEO has been waiting for you to say yes.

00:02:14I'll book you a first-class ticket right now.

00:02:19All right, I'll head over now.

00:02:22Give me one more week.

00:02:24I still have some loose ends to tie up.

00:02:27You are a born queen of commerce.

00:02:29We await your leadership to make us a legend on Wall Street.

00:02:33Boss, great news.

00:02:35Ava signed.

00:02:35That genius girl who once ruled Wall Street is coming.

00:02:39Five years.

00:02:41I can finally see my light again.

00:02:49Ava, you're too slow.

00:02:50Can't you see Elena's hands are red from the shopping bags?

00:02:54Ava, I'm so sorry.

00:02:55These are just too heavy.

00:02:56I have to trouble you with them?

00:02:58It's no trouble at all.

00:02:59Happy to help.

00:03:00By the way,

00:03:01I found a woman's hair tie in Logan's bedroom.

00:03:03It wouldn't be yours, would it?

00:03:05Elena, don't talk nonsense.

00:03:07That was left by the cleaning staff.

00:03:09Ava moved out after you left.

00:03:11How could she possibly be in my bedroom?

00:03:13Just kidding.

00:03:14Look how nervous you are.

00:03:16Justine Remichin,

00:03:17Ava, go line up for that limited edition item for us.

00:03:20Hurry up.

00:03:21Ava, Elena is quite conservative.

00:03:23I don't want her to hear any gossip about these five years.

00:03:26Trying to boyfriend meaty so Aina won't suspect anything.

00:03:28Fine.

00:03:29I'll find a suitable divergen.

00:03:34His real princess has returned.

00:03:36It's time for this substitute to exit Israith, his world.

00:03:43Sorry, I just got off the phone with an international headhunter.

00:03:46All the big companies want to pojic me.

00:03:49Of course they do.

00:03:50Here, try this.

00:03:52It's all your favorites.

00:03:54Ava, why aren't you touching your cutlery?

00:03:56This seafood was flown in fresh.

00:03:58It's very expensive.

00:03:59I'm not hungry.

00:04:00Oh, I remember now.

00:04:02You're allergic to seafood?

00:04:03Logan, should we change restaurants?

00:04:05No need.

00:04:05She said she's not hungry.

00:04:07He knows perfectly well I'm allergic to seafood.

00:04:10And he knows Elena chose this place on purpose.

00:04:12It seems he doesn't care about my feelings at all.

00:04:15Ava, I invited a few old classmates tonight welcome Elena back.

00:04:18She missed your home-cooked meals.

00:04:20Go back to the villa tonight and prepare you a feast.

00:04:22All right.

00:04:23Logan, Ava is, after all, the group's executive president.

00:04:25Isn't it inappropriate to her cook like a maid?

00:04:28What's inappropriate about it?

00:04:29Everything she has today is thanks to my support.

00:04:31As long as I ask, she wouldn't dare say no.

00:04:34Right, Ava?

00:04:35Yes, Mr. Logan.

00:04:47Logan, are you serious?

00:04:49Ava's been with you for five years, and you're really going to kick her out?

00:04:52Who said I was in a relationship with her?

00:04:54She was just a stand-in for Elena.

00:04:58Don't show anything in front of Elena.

00:04:59She's proud.

00:05:00She knew I viewed Ava as a substitute.

00:05:01She did feel insult.

00:05:02You're so devoted.

00:05:03You've had your eyes on Elena since college.

00:05:05But honestly, Ava is incredibly capable.

00:05:07Not only did she manage her company flawlessly, but she was also obedient in bed.

00:05:10Are you really willing to let her go?

00:05:11The passenger seat in my life is reserved only for a real princess.

00:05:15As for Ava, she's not worthy.

00:05:19Ava?

00:05:20What are you doing standing at the door with the fruit platter spacing out?

00:05:32Oh my god, was Ava at the door just now?

00:05:34Did she hear everything we said about her being cheap?

00:05:38So what if she did?

00:05:39Does she dare to get angry?

00:05:40Unless she wants to go back to the slums and beg for food.

00:05:45Mmm, so sweet.

00:05:46Logan, this personal assistant you keep really is better at cutting fruit than the hired help outside.

00:05:52Everyone thinks I'll break down, but I'm actually more cling-headed than anyone.

00:05:55In these five years, he never gave me love.

00:05:57And I, in turn, never truly gave him my heart.

00:06:01The fruit platter is ready.

00:06:02The main course will be served shortly.

00:06:05She clearly heard those words herds just now,

00:06:07way so much she have any reaction at all.

00:06:09Doesn't she care?

00:06:10Logan, we're partying here while the executive vice president is busy alone in the kitchen.

00:06:14Isn't that a bit too much?

00:06:16This is what she's supposed to do.

00:06:18Let's keep playing.

00:06:20Ava, you've worked hard.

00:06:22Come join us and eat.

00:06:25I'm not hungry.

00:06:27Enjoy yourselves.

00:06:29Don't mind her.

00:06:30Let's toast to celebrate Elena's return home.

00:06:33Elena, you're our goddess.

00:06:35This drink is to wish you a triumphant entry into the Vanderbilt Group upon your return and a brilliant future.

00:06:40I, I'm allergic to alcohol.

00:06:42I really can't drink something that's strong.

00:06:44Old classmate, that's not very considerate, is it?

00:06:47You have to at least make a gesture.

00:06:49Elena is delicate and can't handle this kind of thing.

00:06:52Ava, come here and drink it for her.

00:06:55Fine.

00:07:03Logan, you're spoiling Elena too much.

00:07:06Anyone who toasts her, you make Ava take the hit?

00:07:09Ava has a high tolerance.

00:07:11A little of this strong liquor won't hurt her.

00:07:13Then I have to toast the goddess too.

00:07:15Ava, cheers.

00:07:16Everything is about to end.

00:07:18In these last few days with Logan, I won't refuse any requests you make.

00:07:24Ava, thank you for your hard work.

00:07:26I really wouldn't know what to do without you.

00:07:28So, even someone as arrogant and self-hortant as Logan can be tender-hearted.

00:07:32It's a pity that the one who helps in the proms will never be me.

00:07:40I don't like hearing those classmates linking you with Ava, even if she's just a substitute.

00:07:45Baby, my heart is yours.

00:07:47Ava is just our servant.

00:07:49You had a few glasses of champagne.

00:07:52Are you feeling dizzy?

00:07:53Don't be jealous for no reason.

00:07:55I've already declared to everyone that you are the future mistress of the group.

00:07:59I'll forgive you this time.

00:08:00Ava, you were really drunk.

00:08:02Let Logan drive you back to your apartment.

00:08:04No need.

00:08:05I can walk by myself.

00:08:07I have important business to attend to.

00:08:09Take a tax yourself.

00:08:10Ava, don't make me think you can't even take care of yourself.

00:08:32Ava, didn't I tell you to find a man as a shield immediately?

00:08:35Why is there still no movement?

00:08:37I just finished being forced to drink by you, Mr. Logan.

00:08:41Don't play the victim with me.

00:08:44You're dragging your feet.

00:08:46Are you still holding on to some unrealistic fantasy about me?

00:08:53I didn't, Mr. Logan.

00:08:54Don't worry.

00:08:55I'll find one soon.

00:08:56Don't lie.

00:08:57Elena is starting to suspect us.

00:08:59I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.

00:09:03Don't worry.

00:09:04One more week, and I'll disappear completely from your world.

00:09:09So eager to jump into someone else's arms.

00:09:12That shield better be a decent one.

00:09:14Don't embarrass me.

00:09:24You told me to find one?

00:09:26You're so obedient, it's disgusting.

00:09:30Logan, I miss you.

00:09:31Can I move into your villa tomorrow?

00:09:33Of course, baby.

00:09:35My room is always waiting for you.

00:09:39Pick me and Elena up at 8 tomorrow morning to go to the company.

00:09:46What are your plans after returning?

00:09:48Where do you want to go?

00:09:49I want to help you with the Vandeboe Group.

00:09:51I don't want to be just a freeloader.

00:09:53Good.

00:09:54I'll give you a surprise later.

00:09:56I want the whole world to know who the real mistress of this company is.

00:10:00Actually, I got a top-tier master's in finance abroad just to help you.

00:10:05We're here.

00:10:06Darling, it's my first day.

00:10:08We should keep our distance.

00:10:09I don't want people saying I got the job through connections.

00:10:11That wouldn't be noble.

00:10:13See?

00:10:14She's still as pure and independent as she was in college.

00:10:16Newman nowadays will do anything to climb the ladder.

00:10:19From a simple general and her considered it, maybe she's the only one.

00:10:22Notify the board.

00:10:23We're having an all-hands executive meeting in 10 minutes.

00:10:26I have major per-personnel changes.

00:10:28All right.

00:10:29I'll take care of it right away.

00:10:34I heard there will be a major personnel announcement today.

00:10:36Ava doubled the company's performance, so she's definitely getting promoted to co-CEO at the headquarters.

00:10:41Naturally.

00:10:41Vandeboe Group has relied entirely on Ava for the past five years.

00:10:44Based on merit, it has to be her.

00:10:46Ava, don't forget about us when you get promoted.

00:10:48Actually, I was just about to...

00:10:51Only one thing will be announced today.

00:10:55Regarding the appointment of the former executive vice president, Ava.

00:10:58Congratulations.

00:10:59Is Ava being transferred to the New York headquarters as CEO?

00:11:02No.

00:11:03I announce Ava is hereby relieved of her position as executive vice president and demoted to vice president's assistant.

00:11:11What?

00:11:12Demoted instead of promoted?

00:11:13To an assistant?

00:11:14Mr. Logan, Ava generated a billion dollars in profit for the company last year.

00:11:18And the person taking over the vice president position is a financial genius we just recruited from Cambridge.

00:11:23Miss Elena.

00:11:25Hello, everyone.

00:11:26Although I lack practical experience, I believe my international perspective is more suited to leading the company to a higher

00:11:32level.

00:11:32This is absurd.

00:11:33Replacing a meritorious vice president with an inexperienced rookie?

00:11:36Enough.

00:11:37Who is the master of this company?

00:11:39My word is the command.

00:11:41Ava, as an assistant, you'd better do your utmost to help Elena familiar herself with business.

00:11:47If she makes the slightest mistake, I'll hold you couple.

00:11:50Okay.

00:11:52Ava, are you crazy?

00:11:54This is too humiliating.

00:11:55I have never objected to Mr. Logan's decisions.

00:11:58Vice president Elena, please follow me to your office.

00:12:01Then I'll trouble you, assistant Ava.

00:12:04This is your office.

00:12:05Assistant Ava, there's a bit of dust on the tip of my shoe.

00:12:09Since you were so skilled at serving Logan before now, clean it for me too.

00:12:17Is Elena crazy?

00:12:19She's actually making Ava clean her shoes?

00:12:21This is a downright insult to her dignity.

00:12:23Don't be impulsive.

00:12:24Ava must have her reasons for doing this.

00:12:28Oh my god, Ava's really kneeling down to clean them?

00:12:31This is absurd.

00:12:32Ava, I'm warning you.

00:12:34Back then it was because of me that Logan even gave you a second glance.

00:12:37Without me, you'd still be washing dishes in the slums.

00:12:40It's thanks to my face that you've climbed to where you are today.

00:12:43Does it hurt?

00:12:44Remember this feeling of low-iness.

00:12:46You're nothing but a dog I've graciously allowed to exist.

00:12:49Don't even think about overstepping your bounds and don't you dare try to seduce my Logan.

00:12:54Don't worry, Elena.

00:12:55I'm very clear about my place in Mr. Logan's heart.

00:12:58I've never coveted things that don't belong to me.

00:13:00Stubborn words are useless.

00:13:02Honey, want to go see a movie tonight?

00:13:04There's a new project at Universal Studios.

00:13:06I'll wait for you.

00:13:07Okay, see you then.

00:13:08You already have a boyfriend?

00:13:10Logan, I have good news for you.

00:13:12Ava has a boyfriend.

00:13:13I thought she had a crush on you all along.

00:13:14It seems I was overthinking it.

00:13:15I think you've misunderstood.

00:13:16The relationship between me and President Logan is purely one of sponsorship and employment.

00:13:20I've never had any appropriate thoughts.

00:13:22For and over, I love my boyfriend very much.

00:13:24Damn it.

00:13:25I just told her last night to find a male companion,

00:13:27and she's already found one today.

00:13:29Is there really not an angle place for me in her heart?

00:13:31Perfect.

00:13:32In a few days, there's a company team-building event to celebrate my appointment.

00:13:35Ava, bring your nonpoing along.

00:13:36Let's see you just how stranding the man who chunk her on an or New Jillian Drenrys.

00:13:39Yes, I'm also in curious.

00:13:41Ava, bring him long then.

00:13:43No problem.

00:13:44Mr. Logan, we have an appointment with Mr. Grant from Grant Financial Group to sign the contract.

00:13:48It's the most important order of the year.

00:13:49Elena, this deal is crucial for the company's IPO.

00:13:52We must secure it.

00:13:53Don't worry, darling.

00:13:54With my overseas background, I guarantee we'll nail the negotiation beautifully.

00:13:59Mr. Grant, this is Ms. Elena, the company's new vice president.

00:14:02She is fully responsible for today's contract renewal negotiation.

00:14:05What?

00:14:05I remember Grant Financial's business has always been handled by you.

00:14:08Who is this administrative rookie?

00:14:10Mr. Grant, Ava is now just my assistant.

00:14:12The future of Vandrook Group is controlled by elites like me with an international vision.

00:14:17Please sign.

00:14:18I hope your abilities are as impressive as your academic credentials.

00:14:21What are you looking at?

00:14:22Pervert!

00:14:23You're actually peeking at me!

00:14:25What nonsense are you talking about?

00:14:26I'm reading the 12th clause about compensating...

00:14:28Stop pretending.

00:14:30I've seen plenty of self-righteous men like you.

00:14:32It's disgusting.

00:14:33Don't think just because you're rich you can casually harass women.

00:14:37You dare hit me?

00:14:38I'm hitting you, you pervert!

00:14:39I'll use Logan's connections to ruin your reputation in New York!

00:14:42Vanderville Group letting a paranoid lunark like this be vice president means bankruptcy is just around the corner.

00:14:46The deal is off, and I will withdraw all funding from Grant Financial.

00:14:49Mr. Grant, this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:51Please let me explain.

00:14:52Ava, I pity you, wasting your talent in this garbage dump.

00:14:55Vanderville Group is finished.

00:14:58Elena, if you've destroyed company's most important chain chain.

00:15:01It's just some disgusting man who can't control his eyes.

00:15:04What's the big deal?

00:15:05Logan will handle it.

00:15:14Why are you dressed like this?

00:15:25Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for one night?

00:15:28The pay is $3,000.

00:15:33Don't worry, sis.

00:15:34I'm a professional.

00:15:35I guarantee I'll make your colleagues stare.

00:15:38Remember, talk less later.

00:15:40Don't give us away.

00:15:40Don't worry.

00:15:41I'm certified in playing the affectionate puppy dog type.

00:15:47Wow, Ava.

00:15:48This couldn't be your Mr. Right, could it?

00:15:50That outfit is terrifying.

00:15:52Little brother, what high position do you hold?

00:15:54Hello, sis.

00:15:55I'm the hottest face blogger on the entire internet.

00:15:57Search for Gritz Aquos to find me, remember to follow, and send me a sports car.

00:16:00Logan, your former vice president's taste is truly unique.

00:16:03But then again, this kind of influencer who lives off their looks is a perfect match for her status.

00:16:07Ava, I never thought your taste was this poor, that you'd stoop so low as to hire such a cheap

00:16:12performer.

00:16:13Why not?

00:16:14In my heart, he's much more genuine than those hypocritical elites.

00:16:19True.

00:16:20Bottom feeders love this kind of influencer the most.

00:16:23By the way, all the guests have arrived.

00:16:25Didn't you say you had a special welcome back gift for me?

00:16:28Hey, I haven't even started showing off my acting skills yet.

00:16:31Why did they leave?

00:16:32Enough.

00:16:32Your job is done.

00:16:34The final payment has been sent.

00:16:36Go.

00:16:36Thanks, sponsor, sis.

00:16:45Lena, this is a welcome gift to celebrate your official entry into the Vanderbilt Group.

00:16:51Darling, it's so beautiful.

00:16:53It's perfect.

00:16:57Ava, does this Rolex look good with my skin tone?

00:17:03It does.

00:17:07If it weren't for paying off that astronomical debt for my family, I wouldn't have sold myself to Logan.

00:17:13I could have had the purest love, too, right?

00:17:26Miss Ava, tomorrow is the day you officially take over as CEO of Liberty Financial.

00:17:31Mr. Liam and I are both waiting for you.

00:17:34Don't worry.

00:17:34I'll be there on time tomorrow.

00:17:36The contract is signed, and I won't break it.

00:17:38Excellent.

00:17:39We are very much looking forward to your leadership.

00:17:42The time for farewell has finally come.

00:17:45Logan, thank you for the financial support back then, for saving my critically ill mother, and for giving me a

00:17:50foothold in this cold city.

00:17:51Thank you for giving me the dream of a rebirth, even though I knew that in your heart, I would

00:17:55always be just a humble shadow.

00:17:57I heard you're the poorest student who needs money the most.

00:18:00Help me win over Elena, and I'll fund you through college.

00:18:05Elena, don't leave me.

00:18:09For these five years, I've dutifully served as his substitute, accompanying him through his darkest hours.

00:18:15In my heart, you were once an unreachable star, but I'm tired.

00:18:19Goodbye, my former obsession.

00:18:21Goodbye, my shattered youth.

00:18:23Chairman Logan,

00:18:25this glass,

00:18:27I toast to you.

00:18:28Thank you for all your care over the years.

00:18:30Today, I'd like to talk to you about my-

00:18:32Chairman,

00:18:33it's terrible.

00:18:33Grant Financial just formally issued a legal letter,

00:18:36announcing a complete withdrawal of investment,

00:18:38and suing us for a bridge of contract.

00:18:40The company's stock price has already hit the limit down.

00:18:46Chairman,

00:18:47something terrible has happened.

00:18:49Grant Financial has not only dominated all cooperation,

00:18:52but has also joined forces with the four major investment banks on Wall Street

00:18:55to launch a comprehensive blockade against us.

00:18:58How is that possible?

00:18:59Grant has been our staunch ally for five years.

00:19:02Why would they suddenly turn against us?

00:19:04On the day of the signing,

00:19:05Vice President Elena maliciously speculated that Chairman Grant was peeping at her,

00:19:09and even slapped him in public.

00:19:10He insulted me first!

00:19:12He was staring at my chest!

00:19:13I was just defending my dignity as a woman!

00:19:16Ava,

00:19:16I told you to assist Elena.

00:19:18Are you dead?

00:19:19Grant Financial is the source of half of our company's funding.

00:19:22Don't you understand the consequences of offending such a giant?

00:19:24If you had stopped this foolish behavior in time,

00:19:27how could things have got this rotten?

00:19:28Chair Don't,

00:19:30Niseva tried her best to stop it,

00:19:31and even demanded Elena apologize immediately.

00:19:33It was Elena who wouldn't listen,

00:19:35and even threatened Niseva.

00:19:36That's right.

00:19:36If Miss Ava hadn't intervened,

00:19:38Elena would have probably torn the other party to shreds right there in the conference room.

00:19:42Ava,

00:19:43even if she stopped you,

00:19:45couldn't you have called me directly?

00:19:46Where is your professionalism?

00:19:47You actually concealed such a catastrophic disaster and didn't report it.

00:19:50Chairman,

00:19:51President Amba was about to report it at the time,

00:19:53but Vice President Elena said she would communicate with you personally.

00:19:57It seems she didn't mention a single word.

00:19:58Honey,

00:19:59I just wanted to find the right time to explain.

00:20:01I didn't know that man would be so petty.

00:20:02Chairman,

00:20:03the board of directors at headquarters demands you return for a meeting immediately.

00:20:06They hope you gives a German a reasonable explanation.

00:20:09Ava,

00:20:10come with me.

00:20:19Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.

00:20:21She is my chosen future wife,

00:20:22and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.

00:20:26So,

00:20:27you plan to make me the scapegoat?

00:20:28I will personally submit a report to the board.

00:20:31It will state that it was your overstepping and privation

00:20:33that angered Mr. Grant and led to the withdrawal of funds.

00:20:36Don't worry.

00:20:37Once the dust settles,

00:20:39I'll find a way to bring you back.

00:20:40Making me take the bullet for him again.

00:20:42In these five years,

00:20:43how many messes have I cleaned up for him?

00:20:45How many times I've been the fall guy?

00:20:47Logan,

00:20:47how can you be so at ease without even a seal of quills?

00:20:51Logan,

00:20:52one should be responsible for one's own actions.

00:20:54If Ava isn't willing,

00:20:55just let me resign and take the blame.

00:20:57I don't want to see you in a difficult position because of me.

00:21:01Ava,

00:21:01do you really need me to beg you?

00:21:03You handled taking the fall so perfectly before.

00:21:05Why are you acting so unwilling in front of Elena?

00:21:07Don't you know your stubbornness now is destroying all our hard work?

00:21:13Fine.

00:21:15This one last time.

00:21:17I'll take the bullet for you one last time.

00:21:20Why did she agree so readily?

00:21:22Why is she leaving so decisively this time?

00:21:25Could it be,

00:21:25I really went too far?

00:21:27Darling,

00:21:27stop thinking about that assistant.

00:21:29She took your money.

00:21:30It's her honor to take the fall for me.

00:21:31Today is my first celebration after joining the company.

00:21:34Don't keep the executives waiting.

00:21:35What are you feeling guilty about?

00:21:37Ava is just a dog.

00:21:39Even if she occasionally gets upset,

00:21:41long you give her some luxury goods.

00:21:43She like low grief hand me at your foot.

00:21:45That's your runt.

00:21:47Let's go.

00:21:48Tonight,

00:21:48you are the only star.

00:21:55What are you doing here?

00:21:57Mr. Grant,

00:21:58I am here on behalf of the group to formally apologize to you.

00:22:02To Vice President Elena,

00:22:03and to the glory that awaits us.

00:22:05Congratulations, Elena.

00:22:07Cheers.

00:22:07Get out with your chief apology.

00:22:10Tell Logan to kneel before me himself,

00:22:11or this isn't over.

00:22:17In New York,

00:22:18no one dares to touch Grant's face.

00:22:19You want to make peace?

00:22:21Dream on.

00:22:21Mr. Grant,

00:22:22I take full responsibility for this matter.

00:22:24As long as you can calm down,

00:22:26we are willing to bear all responsibility

00:22:27and provide compensation.

00:22:29To calm me down,

00:22:30sure.

00:22:30If you drink all of these,

00:22:32I'll consider withdrawing the lawyer's letter.

00:22:33Fine.

00:22:34Wait a minute.

00:22:35Since you're taking the blame for someone else,

00:22:37you should at least have the posture of begging,

00:22:39right?

00:22:40Drink on your knee.

00:22:41That's right.

00:22:41In this city of New York,

00:22:43no one who asks Grant for a favor

00:22:45does it standing up.

00:22:47What?

00:22:48Can't stand the humiliation?

00:22:50Then get out.

00:23:11Elena,

00:23:12the future of the Vanderbilt group

00:23:13depends on you to lead us to new heights.

00:23:16Congratulations,

00:23:17Miss Elena,

00:23:18on securing your throne.

00:23:19Cheers.

00:23:24I wonder if that woman Ava

00:23:26can get Grant's letter of understanding.

00:23:50Oh, my God.

00:23:52Ava just released a public statement.

00:23:53She announced she takes full responsibility

00:23:55for the Grant withdrawal incident

00:23:57and is formally resigning.

00:24:01Resigning?

00:24:02She dares to resign?

00:24:05Ava,

00:24:06what the hell are you trying to do?

00:24:08Who gave you permission to leave me

00:24:09at a time like this?

00:24:11Why is Logan losing control like this

00:24:13just because Ava resigned?

00:24:14That look in his eyes.

00:24:15He's never shown it to me.

00:24:17Could it be he still loves Ava?

00:24:22Your funding back then

00:24:23allowed me to finish college.

00:24:25You truly were the only beam of light

00:24:27in the darkest night of my life.

00:24:29Over these five years,

00:24:30I've made you profits a hundredfold.

00:24:32All my savings are in this card.

00:24:34Enough to offset all your benevolency

00:24:36from back then.

00:24:37Goodbye forever, Logan.

00:24:43Ava,

00:24:44these reports must be redone

00:24:45before the end of the day today.

00:24:46Also,

00:24:47go to that Michelin-starred restaurant

00:24:48at Moon and queue up

00:24:49to make a reservation for me.

00:24:50Logan likes their truffles.

00:24:52You can keep this garbage

00:24:52and chew on it yourself.

00:24:54As for making a reservation,

00:24:55if you're not so useless

00:24:56that your legs are broken,

00:24:58go roll over there yourself.

00:25:00I'm no longer an employee here.

00:25:01You have no right

00:25:02to order me around.

00:25:03Ava,

00:25:03where do you get the nerve

00:25:04to talk to me like that?

00:25:05Without me,

00:25:06you're not even fit

00:25:07to shine Logan's shoes.

00:25:08Since you want to get lost,

00:25:09get lost far away.

00:25:10Disappear from New York completely

00:25:11and don't come back

00:25:12wagging your tail

00:25:13like a stray dog.

00:25:14Elena,

00:25:14you've played the part

00:25:15of that pure money

00:25:16disdaining White Moon Knight

00:25:17very successfully.

00:25:18But remember,

00:25:19a play is just a play.

00:25:20When Logan discovers

00:25:21the rot beneath that skin of yours,

00:25:22I hope you can still smile

00:25:24so brightly.

00:25:35Chairman,

00:25:36the accounts are settled.

00:25:38Thank you for the hell

00:25:39you've given me

00:25:40all these years.

00:25:41It's made me invincible.

00:25:52Ava,

00:25:53you really left?

00:25:56How dare she leave

00:25:57without my permission?

00:26:01Ava,

00:26:02I'll use all my votes

00:26:03on the board

00:26:03to keep you.

00:26:04I haven't approved

00:26:05this resignation report yet.

00:26:06Get back to the company

00:26:07right now.

00:26:09Chairman Logan,

00:26:10there's no need.

00:26:10The nature of this withdrawal

00:26:11incident is extremely severe.

00:26:14Vanderbilt Group

00:26:14must give the other party

00:26:15an explanation

00:26:16and I am the best scapegoat.

00:26:18You make a good point.

00:26:19Let's ride out this storm first.

00:26:20Once those old guys

00:26:21calm down,

00:26:22I'll bring you back.

00:26:23Also,

00:26:24take that black card

00:26:25on the table.

00:26:25It's your compensation.

00:26:27I never intended for you

00:26:28to pay back that tuition money.

00:26:29Chairman,

00:26:29I don't like owing debts

00:26:30and I especially

00:26:31don't like owing favors.

00:26:33The money in that card

00:26:34was what you funded me

00:26:35with for university.

00:26:36I've paid it all back to you.

00:26:38Ava,

00:26:38because I let Elena

00:26:39take your position

00:26:39and made you take the fall

00:26:41for her that you're unhappy?

00:26:42You have to understand

00:26:43my predicament.

00:26:44Elena just returned

00:26:45to the country.

00:26:45She needs a perfect resume

00:26:47to solidify her position

00:26:48in the company.

00:26:49Your abilities are known

00:26:50throughout New York.

00:26:51Even if you take this blame,

00:26:52it won't hurt

00:26:53your foundation at all.

00:26:54I'm not angry.

00:26:55In fact,

00:26:55I'm even grateful

00:26:56for taking this fall.

00:26:57It made me realize

00:26:58how liberating freedom feels.

00:27:00Where exactly

00:27:00are you planning to go?

00:27:01To a place

00:27:02where there's no more

00:27:03you and Elena.

00:27:04Isn't that what

00:27:05you've always wanted most?

00:27:06From now on,

00:27:08no one will stand

00:27:08in the way

00:27:09of your white mood line

00:27:10anymore.

00:27:11I...

00:27:11Ava,

00:27:12listen to me.

00:27:14The boarding announcement

00:27:15is on.

00:27:16Goodbye, Logan.

00:27:40Darling, I'm so happy today.

00:27:42We should celebrate

00:27:42being together.

00:27:43And why not invite Ava, too?

00:27:44All she's worked so hard

00:27:45all these years.

00:27:46She sees our happiness

00:27:47with her own eyes.

00:28:02Five years of waiting

00:28:04have finally borne fruit tonight.

00:28:05In this world,

00:28:07nothing is more precious

00:28:08than a love

00:28:08that's been lost

00:28:09and found again.

00:28:10I love you, Logan.

00:28:12Congratulations!

00:28:13True lovers

00:28:14are destined

00:28:14to be together.

00:28:16The one Logan truly loves

00:28:18has always been

00:28:19only you.

00:28:20Congratulations!

00:28:21You are the only

00:28:23queen for Logan.

00:28:28Five years of waiting

00:28:29have finally borne fruit tonight.

00:28:31In this world,

00:28:32nothing is more precious

00:28:33than a love

00:28:34that's been lost

00:28:34and found again.

00:28:35I love you, Logan.

00:29:04Welcome to Los Angeles.

00:29:07I'm also very happy

00:29:09to arrive in this new world.

00:29:17Welcome aboard.

00:29:18It's time to start your era.

00:29:21You are

00:29:22Liam?

00:29:26Miss Ava,

00:29:27let me formally introduce you.

00:29:28This is the founder

00:29:29and chairman

00:29:30of our Liberty Financial.

00:29:31I've been waiting

00:29:32right here for you

00:29:33to lead Liberty Financial

00:29:35to conquer Wall Street

00:29:37and create glory

00:29:39that belongs to us.

00:29:41Alright.

00:29:43I'll give it my all.

00:29:51Ava,

00:29:52Elena has officially

00:29:54accepted my proposal.

00:29:55We're having a celebration

00:29:56party at the penthouse

00:29:58tonight.

00:29:58You should come.

00:29:59Elena said she wants you

00:30:00to witness our happiest

00:30:02moment with your own eyes.

00:30:04I won't be going.

00:30:05That kind of moment

00:30:06belongs only to the two of you.

00:30:08There's no need to share it

00:30:09with an outsider.

00:30:10Congratulations.

00:30:11Ava,

00:30:11are you still sulking with me

00:30:13over the scapegoat incident?

00:30:14When did you become

00:30:14so petty,

00:30:15so unreasonable?

00:30:16You should understand

00:30:17my disfella.

00:30:17It was for the greater good.

00:30:19You're overthinking it.

00:30:21I'm really not angry.

00:30:22Alright,

00:30:23I'm very busy.

00:30:24That's all.

00:30:25Fuck.

00:30:26Fuck.

00:30:27Fuck.

00:30:28Fuck.

00:30:29Fuck.

00:30:30Fuck.

00:30:33Logan,

00:30:34I've already repaid

00:30:35your kindness

00:30:36with five years

00:30:36of my freedom.

00:30:38From now on,

00:30:38our worlds will

00:30:39no longer intersect.

00:30:40My life is only

00:30:41truly beginning now.

00:30:49Ava!

00:30:50You damn woman,

00:30:51not only did you reject me,

00:30:53but you actually dared

00:30:53to hang up on me.

00:30:55She's getting more

00:30:56in there,

00:30:56Goldinus.

00:30:57Sorry,

00:30:58the numbering dial

00:30:59is powered out.

00:31:00Darling,

00:31:01Ava must still

00:31:01be angry with me.

00:31:03It's all my fault.

00:31:04How about

00:31:05on our wedding day?

00:31:06I go and invite

00:31:07her personally.

00:31:09I believe she'll

00:31:10eventually bless us

00:31:11with tears in her eyes.

00:31:19Exactly.

00:31:20What right does she

00:31:21have to refuse me?

00:31:23Everything she has now

00:31:24was given by me.

00:31:26She's nothing

00:31:27but a dog I raised.

00:31:29It won't be long

00:31:30before she gets

00:31:31knocked around

00:31:31and bruised out there

00:31:33and then obediently

00:31:34crawls back,

00:31:35begging me to take her in.

00:31:38But why did her tone

00:31:39sound so unfamiliar

00:31:40just now?

00:31:41This feeling of

00:31:42losing my grip,

00:31:43could it really be

00:31:43just an illusion?

00:31:44Why do I have this feeling

00:31:45that she's going to

00:31:46disappear from my side?

00:32:04Ava, welcome to

00:32:05Liberty Financial.

00:32:06From today on,

00:32:08this is your stage.

00:32:11Chairman, we have

00:32:12a major problem.

00:32:13Our merger negotiations

00:32:14with Everett Group

00:32:14have completely

00:32:15reached a deadlock.

00:32:16The other party's

00:32:16chief negotiator

00:32:17suddenly turned hostile,

00:32:18demanding an additional

00:32:1920% of equity shares

00:32:20on op of the original terms,

00:32:21or they'll terminate

00:32:22the cooperation immediately.

00:32:24What?

00:32:24We've been preparing

00:32:25for this project

00:32:26for five whole years,

00:32:27investing hundreds of millions

00:32:28of dollars in upfront capital.

00:32:30If it collapses now,

00:32:31the group's cash flow

00:32:32will dry up instantly.

00:32:33We won't be able

00:32:33to hold on.

00:32:34Are the people they sent

00:32:36that guy nicked him

00:32:36the vulture miller

00:32:37and they notoriously

00:32:38greedy Harrison?

00:32:39Yes, it's them.

00:32:42These two are notoriously

00:32:43difficult to deal with

00:32:44on Wall Street.

00:32:45They don't play

00:32:46by any professional rules.

00:32:49What a coincidence.

00:32:51Back at the Vanderbilt Group,

00:32:52I almost drive those two

00:32:53into bankruptcy.

00:32:54They're my old rivals.

00:32:58Leave this project to me.

00:33:03Chairman, who is she?

00:33:05Isn't it too risky

00:33:06to hand over such a big project

00:33:07to a new face?

00:33:08Let me formally introduce

00:33:09to everyone.

00:33:10This is the company's

00:33:11newly assigned

00:33:12Executive Vice President

00:33:13and Chief Operating Officer,

00:33:15Ava.

00:33:16Hello, everyone.

00:33:17I'm Ava.

00:33:18Transfer all the core materials

00:33:19in our tumbles

00:33:20to President Ava.

00:33:21She has the highest

00:33:22decisioning authority

00:33:23for the coming negotiations.

00:33:25Understood.

00:33:28Ava, I've waited five years

00:33:30just to be able to stand

00:33:31at the pinnacle of Wall Street

00:33:32with you side by side.

00:33:33I firmly believe

00:33:35you will never let me down.

00:33:37Ava, she is a top-class

00:33:38hunter on Wall Street.

00:33:41I believe she won't miss.

00:33:42Charent, is she really capable?

00:33:45The other kind

00:33:45is notoriously stingy

00:33:46on Wall Street.

00:33:48This President Ava

00:33:49is a war goddess,

00:33:50the chairman personally

00:33:51snatched from the hands

00:33:52of New York's

00:33:52top financial magnets.

00:33:54On Wall Street,

00:33:55no one wants to face her

00:33:56at the negotiation table.

00:33:57Open your eyes wide

00:33:58and see clearly.

00:33:59This is the true king

00:34:00of top-tier Brezis negotiation.

00:34:10Miller Harrison,

00:34:11long time no see?

00:34:14Ava, what are you doing here?

00:34:16I'm now in charge

00:34:17of the acquisition

00:34:18for this Liberty

00:34:19financial project.

00:34:20I never imagined

00:34:21our opponent would be you.

00:34:23So what's all we're left

00:34:24to discuss?

00:34:25We've experienced

00:34:26your methods firsthand.

00:34:28All those underhanded

00:34:29negotiation tactics

00:34:30are just a waste of time

00:34:31in front of you.

00:34:32Then sign.

00:34:34No problem.

00:34:35You are the guarantee

00:34:36of industry credibility.

00:34:37We can drive a hard bargain

00:34:39with rookies,

00:34:40but with you,

00:34:41we value long-term

00:34:42cooperation more.

00:34:43Smart.

00:34:44Liberty Financial

00:34:45will provide you

00:34:45with top-tier investment

00:34:46banking support in return.

00:34:48Am I seeing things?

00:34:50That tough nut

00:34:50we've been trying

00:34:51to crack for five years

00:34:52and she got it signed

00:34:53in less than five minutes?

00:34:54This isn't a negotiation.

00:34:55It's a one-hide

00:34:56of domination.

00:34:56Incredible.

00:34:57Is this Ava's true power?

00:34:59Simply amazing.

00:35:00Our company's

00:35:01about to take off.

00:35:02Senior,

00:35:02you're still the queen

00:35:03everyone looks up to.

00:35:04With you,

00:35:05Liberty Financial

00:35:06is about to experience

00:35:07a dream-like leap forward.

00:35:11Pleasure doing business.

00:35:15Pleasure doing business.

00:35:17Ava,

00:35:18Logan is truly insane

00:35:19to let go of a partner

00:35:20of your caliber.

00:35:21You flatter me, Miller.

00:35:23That's not just politeness.

00:35:25If we had known earlier

00:35:26that you were leaving

00:35:27that troublesome company,

00:35:28we would have offered

00:35:29double the equity

00:35:30to poach you.

00:35:32Since you both trust me so much,

00:35:33we'll be allies

00:35:34in Los Angeles from now on.

00:35:35It's a deal.

00:35:37See you again.

00:35:41Miss Ava,

00:35:42how on earth did you do it?

00:35:43They're known as

00:35:44the devil's representatives

00:35:46who never concede.

00:35:48The essence of business

00:35:49is the equivalent

00:35:50exchange of resources.

00:35:53As long as you see

00:35:54through the other party's weakness

00:35:56and offer a bargaining chip

00:35:57they can't refuse,

00:35:59success is a matter of course.

00:36:05As expected of my senior,

00:36:07with you on board,

00:36:08Liberty Financial

00:36:09is destined to shine

00:36:10on Wall Street.

00:36:11I'm honored to join

00:36:13the Liberty Financial team.

00:36:17The terms of this

00:36:19offshore funds betting agreement

00:36:20are overwhelmingly in our favor.

00:36:23Is it really reliable?

00:36:25Of course.

00:36:26This is a project

00:36:27personally recommended

00:36:28by my classmate from Cambridge.

00:36:30There's absolutely no problem.

00:36:31Elena,

00:36:32with you by my side,

00:36:33I'm like a light wings.

00:36:34Once we sign this project,

00:36:36the market value

00:36:37of Vanderbilt Group

00:36:38can double this quarter

00:36:39and those old board members

00:36:40will have nothing to say.

00:36:42Am I better than that Ava

00:36:44who all knows

00:36:44how to bury her head and work her?

00:36:46Her?

00:36:47She's not worth

00:36:48one ten-thousandth of you.

00:36:49As long as I help Logan

00:36:50secure these few more big deals

00:36:52and completely win

00:36:53his father's approval,

00:36:54I'll be the true mistress

00:36:55of the Vanderbilt family.

00:36:58So,

00:36:59how does it feel

00:37:00to be back at our alma mater?

00:37:01Much more relaxing

00:37:02than the office buildings

00:37:03in Manhattan, right?

00:37:04I never thought

00:37:05we'd reunite

00:37:06under these circumstances.

00:37:08But Liam,

00:37:09our meeting again,

00:37:10it probably wasn't

00:37:11a coincidence,

00:37:12was it?

00:37:15Actually,

00:37:15I've been sirely watching you

00:37:17all these years.

00:37:19It's just that you were

00:37:20too close to Logan

00:37:21and

00:37:21never had a chance

00:37:23to step in.

00:37:24To be honest,

00:37:25I fell for you

00:37:26at first sight.

00:37:27I watched you compete

00:37:28in speech contests

00:37:29and dominate in debates.

00:37:30After graduation,

00:37:32I wanted to invite you

00:37:32to start a business together,

00:37:33but then I heard you

00:37:34joined Logan's family business

00:37:36to pay off your debt.

00:37:37From the day I entered

00:37:37Vanderbilt,

00:37:38I never planned to stay

00:37:39for a lifetime.

00:37:40I was just repaying a debt.

00:37:42Once it's paid off,

00:37:43it's time to leave.

00:37:44But I heard you were

00:37:44in a core position,

00:37:46holding all the lifelines

00:37:47of the company.

00:37:48How could that lunatic Logan

00:37:49bear to let you go?

00:37:50The world keeps turning

00:37:51without anyone.

00:37:52I'm not as indispensable

00:37:53as he thinks.

00:37:54I've done what needed

00:37:55to be done,

00:37:56repaid what needed

00:37:57to be repaid.

00:37:58We're even.

00:37:58I can disappear

00:37:59from his world

00:38:00with a clear conscience.

00:38:01Now that you've come

00:38:02to my side,

00:38:03I will never let go again.

00:38:06Chairman,

00:38:07something terrible

00:38:08has happened.

00:38:08Vice President Elena

00:38:09publicly fired

00:38:10our top salesperson,

00:38:11Carter,

00:38:12just because he was

00:38:1210 minutes late

00:38:13to the morning meeting.

00:38:14Carter was immediately

00:38:15poached by our arch rival,

00:38:17Apex Capital.

00:38:18He took three of our

00:38:19core major clients

00:38:20with him.

00:38:22The company's losses

00:38:23are at least

00:38:24$200 million.

00:38:26Who gave her permission

00:38:27to touch Carter?

00:38:28He's the pillar

00:38:29of our company's

00:38:30performance.

00:38:35Chairman,

00:38:36it gets worse.

00:38:36We just wired

00:38:37the $50 million advance

00:38:39for that overseas project

00:38:40Elena signed off of

00:38:41and the recipient's account

00:38:41was instantly deactivated.

00:38:43We checked the FBI's

00:38:44blacklist.

00:38:45It's just a shell company

00:38:46for money laundering.

00:38:47We've been set up.

00:38:49What?

00:38:53Chairman,

00:38:54I personally

00:38:55half a month

00:38:55the month

00:38:56in Silicon Valley

00:38:57touched us

00:38:57as socials genius

00:38:58Carter.

00:38:59With Ham on board,

00:39:01no one can touch

00:39:02Vanderbilt's

00:39:03and with North

00:39:03Mayor's share.

00:39:04This man's background

00:39:05is indeed

00:39:06clean

00:39:07and formidable.

00:39:08And these offshore

00:39:09projects,

00:39:10I've been tracking them

00:39:10for two years.

00:39:11I've personally done

00:39:13all the risk assessments.

00:39:14As long as I'm here,

00:39:15none of your decisions

00:39:16will go wrong.

00:39:18Chairman,

00:39:19Elena just signed

00:39:20two $10 billion

00:39:21hedge agreements

00:39:21with European investment

00:39:22banks in your name.

00:39:23But according to

00:39:24our emergency

00:39:25due diligence,

00:39:26both companies

00:39:26are backed

00:39:27by nothing but shells.

00:39:28The risk is off

00:39:28the circus.

00:39:29Chairman,

00:39:30you have to make

00:39:30a decision

00:39:31or the company

00:39:31will be hollowed out.

00:39:45In such a short time,

00:39:47I've used

00:39:48my university connections

00:39:49to secure

00:39:50so many major projects

00:39:52for Logan.

00:39:52He must be looking

00:39:54at me in a new light now,

00:39:56finally realizing

00:39:57who his true partner

00:39:59in battle is.

00:40:03Investigate.

00:40:04The overseas parent

00:40:06companies of these

00:40:07two projects

00:40:07have no operational

00:40:09qualifications at all.

00:40:11They're all shell companies

00:40:12for money laundering.

00:40:14Chairman,

00:40:15the finance department

00:40:16just followed

00:40:17Miss Elena's

00:40:18urgent instructions

00:40:18and has already

00:40:19transferred all

00:40:20all the down payments.

00:40:22All transferred?

00:40:24Five hundred million dollars?

00:40:26How on earth

00:40:27did Elena vet

00:40:28their qualifications?

00:40:29Is her brain

00:40:29filled with mush?

00:40:31With this level

00:40:32of incompetence,

00:40:33she's not even worth

00:40:34one ten-thousandth of Ava.

00:40:41All of you,

00:40:42get out!

00:40:48If Ava were here,

00:40:50such a low-level mistake

00:40:51would never have happened.

00:40:55If Ava were here,

00:40:56such a low-level mistake

00:40:58would never have happened.

00:40:59But why?

00:41:00Elena is clearly

00:41:01my first love.

00:41:02So why do I have

00:41:03such absurd thoughts?

00:41:04Elena just returned

00:41:05to the country.

00:41:06It's inevitable

00:41:07there are slip-ups

00:41:08in business.

00:41:09As long as I bring

00:41:10Ava back to assist her,

00:41:11the company will

00:41:12quickly get back on track.

00:41:17Sorry,

00:41:18the number you have

00:41:18dialed is not in service.

00:41:21Not in service?

00:41:23Ava,

00:41:23you've gone this far?

00:41:25You even cut off

00:41:26the last means of contact?

00:41:29Contact?

00:41:30Contact?

00:41:31Contact?

00:41:32Contact?

00:41:33Contact?

00:41:35Contact?

00:41:40Ava!

00:41:41Open the door!

00:41:43I know you're in there!

00:41:44Don't play hide-and-souk with me!

00:41:55Ava?

00:41:58Ava?

00:41:59Ava?

00:42:00Ava?

00:42:01Ava?

00:42:02Ava?

00:42:03Ava?

00:42:11Logan, this is my final gift to you.

00:42:14Everything you casually handed down to me over the years is in this box.

00:42:21I didn't take a single piece of the trash in the closet that you looked down upon.

00:42:26We're even now.

00:42:28Goodbye forever.

00:42:36What does she mean by this?

00:42:38These were my rewards to her.

00:42:40She never used a single one?

00:42:46This Rolex was originally bought for Elena, but I remembered wrong.

00:42:52She doesn't like this kind of rugged strap.

00:42:54It's yours now. Take it and wear.

00:43:13The tag is still on.

00:43:15She never wore any of the clothes I bought for her.

00:43:23The tag is still on.

00:43:26She never wore any of the clothes I bought for her.

00:43:29Darling, does this limited edition Chanel suit your complexion?

00:43:33Honey, I've long outgrown that old-fashioned style.

00:43:36I have other brands I prefer.

00:43:38Gotta go.

00:43:47Elena doesn't like it.

00:43:49This trash is yours now.

00:43:51Throw it away or wear it yourself.

00:43:55These jewels.

00:43:56These clothes.

00:43:58She hasn't even touched them.

00:43:59Every single thing she left here is a slap in my face.

00:44:03She's telling me she never valued anything I gave her.

00:44:15Ava, what gives you the right to draw a line with me?

00:44:19Are you trying to tell me you've won with all this garbage?

00:44:27Mobilize all our contacts, both legal and underworld.

00:44:30Seal off every exit port in New York.

00:44:33Track that woman down no matter where she's hiding.

00:44:36She doesn't even have the right to die without my permission.

00:44:41How dare she disappear?

00:44:44I'll make her regret ever being born.

00:44:51Ava, what gives you the right to draw a line with me?

00:44:55Are you trying to tell me you've won with all this garbage?

00:45:03Ava, even though you've been driven out of New York,

00:45:06Logan's heart is still completely filled with you.

00:45:09No, you're just my replacement.

00:45:12Logan can only be my prey.

00:45:17I'm going to let the whole world know

00:45:19who the future master of the Vanderbilt family is.

00:45:22Ava, you'll forever be stuck in the gutter.

00:45:34Have you found her?

00:45:36Chairman, we've searched all the private clinics and apartments in Manhattan and Queens.

00:45:40There's absolutely no trace of Miss Ava.

00:45:45Dammit!

00:45:46Ava, where the hell are you hiding?

00:45:52Dammit!

00:45:53Ava, where the hell are you hiding?

00:45:55Where exactly are you planning to go?

00:45:57To a place where there's no more you and Elena.

00:45:59She paid off all her debts just to escape me completely.

00:46:02Ava, who gave you the nerve to vanish from my world?

00:46:08Buddy, you're way too low-key.

00:46:10You're about to get married and you didn't even invite us for a drink?

00:46:14Elena's the one with sense.

00:46:15The photos she posted have set all of Wall Street on fire.

00:46:18What wedding? What the hell are you talking about?

00:46:19Stop pretending. Check your social media feed.

00:46:22You guys are really going all out.

00:46:24Was that right after you got out of bed?

00:46:32Darling!

00:46:33Why are you here so early?

00:46:35Did you miss me?

00:46:39Delete that disgusting post right now, Elena!

00:46:41I brought you back to play the part of the perfect white moonlight, not to scheme here!

00:46:48Elena, when did you become so scheming?

00:46:50Logan, I'm your fiancé.

00:46:52Is posting an intimate photo of you some kind of capital crime?

00:46:56Phone.

00:46:57Unlock it.

00:46:58If you want our relationship to end right here, you can keep holding on to it.

00:47:11From now on, you are not to post anything about my private life without permission.

00:47:15Elena, trying to force marriage with such a low-level technique is too childish.

00:47:18This is the first and last time.

00:47:20If it were Ava, she would never do something so stupid.

00:47:22She always knows where the line is.

00:47:24Logan!

00:47:25I did this because I love you too much!

00:47:28I'm scared every day.

00:47:29I'm scared you'll get tired of me.

00:47:32Scared you'll realize I'm not as capable as Ava.

00:47:35What I fear most is that Ava will come back and take you away from me.

00:47:42Please, don't do this.

00:47:44Logan, please don't go.

00:47:46I'll be good.

00:47:47I'll become the person you want me to be.

00:47:49I'm just so afraid of losing you.

00:47:51Afraid of losing?

00:47:53I admit I made the stupidest decision, but you're the only one in my heart.

00:47:58I really care about you too much.

00:48:02I didn't, Mr. Logan.

00:48:03Don't worry.

00:48:04I'll find one soon.

00:48:05Don't lie.

00:48:06Elena is starting to suspect us.

00:48:08I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.

00:48:12I shared a bed with Ava for five whole years.

00:48:14I honestly thought she'd have some shred of attachment.

00:48:16But now, she managed to vanish into thin air without a second thought.

00:48:19Turns out, the one who truly cares never leaves.

00:48:22And the one who never really cared about me walks away with zero regrets.

00:48:26Ava.

00:48:35Due to quality issues, the foundation has collapsed.

00:48:38The other party has officially filed a lawsuit with a federal court demanding that we pay

00:48:42one billion U.S. dollars.

00:48:45What did you say?

00:48:49Darling, look at this.

00:48:50I'm going to replace all those outdated suppliers Ava left behind.

00:48:57Why change them?

00:48:58Those companies have worked with us for ten years without a single mistake.

00:49:02Because they're too expensive.

00:49:04The batch I found is half the price.

00:49:07Oh.

00:49:07That woman, I treated her so well.

00:49:09And she betrayed me?

00:49:11You're the reliable one.

00:49:12Do worry.

00:49:13It's backed by a top-tier lab.

00:49:15Absolutely proof.

00:49:19This is a third-party mencient report.

00:49:21This patch of gong is nothing but inferior recycled scrap, not even meeting half of the minimum

00:49:26safety standards.

00:49:28Vanderbilt Group is not only macing bankruptcy, we'll have to bear criminal-cibility.

00:49:32Can you tell me what's going on?

00:49:35Didn't you say it was backed by a top-tier lab?

00:49:40I-I was deceived by the mid-middle man.

00:49:44I didn't know.

00:49:51Elena, you're fired.

00:49:52Get out of here with your disgusting lies right now.

00:49:55I never want to lay eyes on you again.

00:49:57Logan?

00:49:59For that bitch?

00:50:01You actually hit me?

00:50:03You're firing me over this little money?

00:50:06Get out.

00:50:07Drag this trash out of here.

00:50:12Chairman, if we can't come up with a solution before the market opens tomorrow, Vanderbilt's

00:50:16stock will be wiped out instantly.

00:50:18We're going bankrupt.

00:50:19Bankrupt?

00:50:21Vanderbilt's century-old legacy is going to be destroyed by me?

00:50:24If Ava were here, none of this would have happened.

00:50:27It's all my fault.

00:50:28How could I have been so blind to let a fool like Elena take the vice president's position?

00:50:33Chairman, I just received a tip.

00:50:35Miss Ava is now at Liberty Financial.

00:50:39What?

00:50:40How dare she go to that small-time company to become my competitor?

00:50:44Who gave her the audacity to betray me like this?

00:50:47Since you're not dead, you must come back and save my empire.

00:50:55Ava, I know your ambitions go far beyond this now.

00:50:57If we secure this deal, Liberty Financial would tear open a crack in the core North American market

00:51:02and soar to new heights.

00:51:03Chairman, I heard that for this Wansang International bid,

00:51:06the competitors are all established Wall Street financial giants

00:51:10and top-tier multinational corporations.

00:51:12She definitely can.

00:51:14In my dictionary, Ava is synonymous with miracle.

00:51:18You've never let me down before.

00:51:19This time will be your coronation once again.

00:51:24Ava is back!

00:51:35Liam, I'm sorry.

00:51:36It's okay.

00:51:37Even if we didn't sign this deal, it doesn't matter.

00:51:40As long as you come back safely, we have countless more opportunities.

00:51:48I said I'm sorry, because starting tomorrow,

00:51:50everyone might have to work overtime for a whole month.

00:51:52The contract, I got it.

00:51:59Sorry, I was just too excited.

00:52:01Oh my God, signing with Wansang International means our company's valuation will double tonight.

00:52:05It's a miracle.

00:52:06Truly the undisputed queen of negotiation on Wall Street.

00:52:09Don't you shower me with praise.

00:52:11This is the result of the whole team's overnight due diligence.

00:52:15Without your data support, I couldn't have signed a single word.

00:52:20Ava, I finally found you.

00:52:22You despicable traitor.

00:52:23Get over here right now.

00:52:28Ava, get over here right now.

00:52:31Chairman Logan, aren't you busy planning that multi-billion dollar wedding of the century for Elena?

00:52:36What brings you to a small company like mine to throw a tantrum?

00:52:39Who gave you permission to change your phone number?

00:52:42Did I ever allow you to disappear from my site?

00:52:45And did you get my permission to work for this rival company?

00:52:48Chairman Don, it seems your memory is failing you.

00:52:50I've already resigned from your company.

00:52:52Where I go, even if it's to work on Mars, has nothing to with you.

00:52:55Not even half a quent.

00:52:57Ava, I'm giving you one last chance.

00:52:59Get back to my company with me, now.

00:53:01Several major overseas short-sheeters are frankly attacking our stock price right now.

00:53:05You're the only one who can handle this mess.

00:53:08Sorry, but I'm now an executive partner at Liberty Financial.

00:53:11I have no obligation to help you patch up that dilapidated sinking boat anymore.

00:53:15Besides, don't you have your gun goddess Elena?

00:53:17Let her use her innocent face to get you through this crisis.

00:53:20Have you forgotten who helped you in the first place?

00:53:22If it weren't for me, you'd still be in the slums.

00:53:24It was me who put you in a top-tier vela, who brought you into the global financial circle.

00:53:28Listen, if you come with me now and help me solve this crisis,

00:53:31I can forgive your previous insolence and even reinstate you as vice president.

00:53:37Logan, I have no interest in that position anymore.

00:53:40I spent five years by your side as a substitute,

00:53:42handling countless shady bad debts for you, and even took a bullet for Elena.

00:53:46The debts I owed have long been paid off.

00:53:48We are even now.

00:53:49Paid off?

00:53:50You can never repay what you owe me in this lifetime.

00:53:52Ava, as long as I haven't grown tired of you, you will always be my accessory.

00:53:56Come with me.

00:53:56Chairman Logan, this is Liberty Finance, not your backyard garden.

00:54:00Let her go.

00:54:01Who do you think you are, daring to cause problem at Liberty Finance and lay hands on our partner?

00:54:06I recognize him now.

00:54:07Hear this, the Vanderbilt T-twin famous dorned on Logan.

00:54:10I'd heard he plants a ginsess by Nenea's fuel social Elena from in a golf,

00:54:15causing core projects to blow up one after other.

00:54:17Now Vanderbilt has decaying on a load on Wall Street and on the verge of punctuation.

00:54:21I heard Miss Ava poured her heart and soul into their company for five years,

00:54:24and he actually kicked her out for a pretty face.

00:54:25Now that the company is in ruins, he remembers to come begging for our Miss Ava.

00:54:29Pure karma.

00:54:30He didn't recognize Ava's financial genius back then,

00:54:32and now that he's going bankrupt, he thinks he can come crawling back?

00:54:35Dream on.

00:54:37Shut up.

00:54:39What do you bottom-feeding insects know?

00:54:41I'm Ava's benefactor.

00:54:42I was the one who pulled her out of the mud.

00:54:44Ava, you owe me a debt you can never repay in this lifetime.

00:54:48This is between us.

00:54:49Outsiders have no right to interfere.

00:54:51Come back with me to settle this debt.

00:54:52Logan, I'm telling you for the last time, there's no way I'm going back with you.

00:54:57From the second I walked out of that villa, that absurd five years between us was already completely dead.

00:55:02Ava, how dare you speak to me in that tone?

00:55:05Who gave you the nerve to defy me?

00:55:16You, how dare you hit me?

00:55:21Logan, it's true that you helped A financially in the beginning, and that was a kindness.

00:55:26But that doesn't mean she sold herself to you for life.

00:55:28This slap is payback for the humiliation and games you put her through over these five years.

00:55:33As long as I'm here, you don't have the right to lay a fend on her ever again.

00:55:38This slap is to reclaim the dignity Ava lost over these five years.

00:55:45Liam, you...

00:55:46Ava, today is a day for celebration.

00:55:49There's no need to these paths that eating buried in the grave infect your mead.

00:55:52As the company's greatest contributor, I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to dinner tonight.

00:55:57Wow, is Chairman Liam going to confess publicly?

00:56:01I heard Liam has had a crush on Miss Ava since their Yale University days.

00:56:04That look in his eyes is impossible to hide.

00:56:07The heir of a top-tar family dynasty paired with the Queen of Finance?

00:56:10Now that's a true power couple.

00:56:12Ava, I've reserved a table at the Topper Loving restaurant tonight.

00:56:16Come with me.

00:56:19Ava, since when have you had the guts to refuse my invitation?

00:56:23I'm sorry, Liam.

00:56:24I can't have dinner with you.

00:56:26Why?

00:56:27I knew it.

00:56:28This woman was my shadow for five years.

00:56:31That ingrained sense of inferiority can't be changed.

00:56:34She simply doesn't dare to defy me.

00:56:39Because I promised to treat the entire company to a celebration party this afternoon.

00:56:44What?

00:56:45You'd rather spend time with these knollers than with me?

00:56:49Don't worry, Ava.

00:56:50I've already arranged the hotel suite and champagne for the staff.

00:56:53As for you, you're the brightest star tonight.

00:56:56And I must personally celebrate your success.

00:56:58All right, let's go then.

00:57:01Ava, I'm standing right in front of you.

00:57:04And you dare to go on a date with another man right in front of me?

00:57:06Do you even see me as your fiancé anymore?

00:57:08Logan, let me correct you on two points.

00:57:11First, your fiancé is named Elena, and I'm just your former executive.

00:57:15Second, I've settled all our old debts.

00:57:17There's nothing between us anymore.

00:57:19Ava, take one step and see what happens.

00:57:25Hey, this outdated chairman, you can't go over there.

00:57:28Our Ava is busy on a date with her true love.

00:57:30What are you trying to do?

00:57:31Want to be a thousand-watt light bulb?

00:57:39Ava, it prumens while the Pendwin has never be wrong.

00:57:43Since you took over, we've successfully acquired three core projects in a row.

00:57:48With this glass of top-screet Ace of Spains, I toast to the soul of our Liberty Financial.

00:57:55Liam, you're too kind.

00:57:57Without everyone's round-the-clock cooperation, I alone couldn't have pulled off an operation of this scale.

00:58:02Ava, to be honest, before you joined us, we were just burning through investors' money every day, almost hitting rock

00:58:08bottom.

00:58:09Yeah, if Ava hadn't joined and led us to this turnaround victory, this dinner tonight would probably be our farewell

00:58:14party.

00:58:14Don't talk nonsense.

00:58:15With Ava, our blueprint has just begun.

00:58:18To the future queen of Wall Street, bottoms up.

00:58:22Ava, haven't you noticed?

00:58:24You and our chairman, Liam, standing together are practically the textbook example of a top-tier Chibon couple.

00:58:30Exactly.

00:58:30Ever since Ava joined, I've never seen Chairman Liam sober.

00:58:34His eyes are always full of pink bubbles.

00:58:36Can't all this premium steak shut you up?

00:58:39We agreed tonight.

00:58:40No one leaves until we're drunk.

00:58:43And whoever leaves first pays the bill.

00:58:50Oh, Ava, I can't go on.

00:58:52I'm seeing double.

00:58:54Chairman Liam is in your capable hands now.

00:58:57Right, right.

00:58:57My mom told me to go home for a late-night snack.

00:58:59If I'm late, she'll confiscate my credit card.

00:59:02The sacred mission of Escortijon falls to you!

00:59:05Hey, you bunch of traitors.

00:59:18Take it easy.

00:59:20You really should lose some weight, big guy.

00:59:36This is a photo of me from my university days?

00:59:42Damn it.

00:59:42I forgot to hide this incriminative evidence.

00:59:52Weren't you so drunk you could barely walk?

00:59:55I was a bit dizzy just now, but seeing this photo, I suddenly sobered up.

01:00:02How do you have a photo of me from my junior year?

01:00:05Back then, you were the star of the Yale football team, and I was just a part-time working student,

01:00:09practically invisible.

01:00:11Because long before that football game, I had already been watching you.

01:00:20Too expensive.

01:00:22That's enough for two months of my living expenses.

01:00:26I knew your family had gone bankrupt, and you were burdened with huge student loans.

01:00:31You could only save every penny to buy those obscure professional books.

01:00:47Back then, you only had eyes for Logan.

01:00:49The one who took you out of the slums.

01:00:52I was afraid of disturbing your happiness.

01:00:55So I could only hide my identity and silently help you in this clumsy way.

01:01:00After graduating from university, I knew you went to Logan's company out of gratitude.

01:01:05I watched you choose a path you didn't like, watched you step back for his ambitions, and grow into the

01:01:10top elite step by step.

01:01:12No one knows how much you sacrificed, but I do.

01:01:16I know your heart was just broken by Logan.

01:01:18Five years of youth traded for betrayal.

01:01:24I know you can't fall in love with someone else right away, but I'm willing to wait.

01:01:30As long as you can walk out of that darkness, even if you treat me as Tia for Logan, I'm

01:01:35willing.

01:01:35Liam, I'm sorry.

01:01:39I can't agree to that.

01:01:59Liam, I'm sorry.

01:02:05I'm willing to do anything.

01:02:07I mean this shit.

01:02:08I don't need you to be anyone T-tight.

01:02:11Liam, you are you.

01:02:12The one and only bright spot in my life.

01:02:15I'm no longer that humble steeter.

01:02:18Start a day.

01:02:19We'll be need to forget someone to Kaishin Musheng.

01:02:22So, does that mean we...

01:02:26Of course.

01:02:27I've always known it was you who silently helped me.

01:02:31But at that age, when I couldn't even hold on to my dignity, I couldn't give you any response.

01:02:36Not until I walked into Liberty Financial.

01:02:40When Meg that war, those eyes were full of me once again.

01:02:49I heard that you were at the Vanderbilt Group.

01:02:52You were known as Drink Thousand Bait.

01:02:55Thank you to bomb Logan, recover that bet you dollar and a swinch, you down your health bot shots.

01:03:00If you drink these eight glasses today, this deal goes to Liberty Financial.

01:03:05Yeah, let us witness the drinking capacity of this financial queen.

01:03:10Black, if my partner needs to trade her life for a contract, then this deal isn't worth it.

01:03:16Ava, let's go.

01:03:22Liam, I'm willing to be your girlfriend.

01:03:24From now on, I will love you, cherish you, and protect you.

01:03:28Let's work hard together to build a real home that belongs to us in this cold city.

01:03:32Ava, you're not just saying that to make me happy?

01:03:35I choose to be with you for no complicated reason.

01:03:39Simply because...

01:03:39I've also been hopelessly in love with you for a long time.

01:03:43I'm so happy, Ava.

01:03:45I feel like all the sunlight in the world has brightened at this moment.

01:04:05See you tomorrow, Ava.

01:04:06Have a pleasant evening.

01:04:08See you tomorrow.

01:04:17Where are you going?

01:04:18Get in the car, I'll give you a ride.

01:04:20Logan, who exactly are you performing these childish tricks for?

01:04:24Ava, I didn't handle things properly back then.

01:04:28I shouldn't have let you take the fall for that damn charge to protect Elena's reputation,

01:04:32forcing you to resign and leave the company.

01:04:34The position of vice president at the Vanderbilt Group.

01:04:37I've kept it for you.

01:04:39The room that belongs to you at home, I've had it cleaned.

01:04:42Just say the word, and you can come back anytime.

01:04:45We can start over.

01:04:49Logan, I'm curious.

01:04:50Who gave you the confidence to think that I would give up my position as a global partner

01:04:54at Liberty Financial to return to your nearly bankrupt Vanderbilt Group?

01:04:58Just to be a vice-vectresser you can summon and dismiss at will?

01:05:04What are you talking about?

01:05:08And what makes you think that keeping that dark, damp, uninhabitable servant's room in

01:05:13your house for me is some great favor?

01:05:18Logan, stop wasting your time on me.

01:05:20Your persistence only makes me think less of you.

01:05:26Ava, since you have no feelings for me, I've prepared a better gift for you.

01:05:32I'm sure you'll like it.

01:05:40This is the place.

01:05:42Who exactly is this mysterious investor?

01:05:49Miss Ava, I presume?

01:05:50This way, please.

01:05:51Your table is ready.

01:05:52Is there a proposal happening here today?

01:05:54Something like that.

01:05:55A gentleman is preparing the most romantic surprise for you.

01:05:58Miss Ava, please take a seat first.

01:06:06So it's Ava that Logan wants to confess to.

01:06:08I'll mix that disfigurating potent patient into the red wine.

01:06:11Ava, this is what you get for stealing my man.

01:06:14Ava, you've really come to your end.

01:06:21It's you.

01:06:31So, the mysterious investor, who anonymously requested a meeting for cooperation, is you.

01:06:35To be precise, it's the who wants to beg on his knees to cooperate.

01:06:38Ava, don't go.

01:06:39Give me five minutes.

01:06:39I said the wrong thing at the summit entrance to noon.

01:06:41That wasn't what I truly meant.

01:06:46Just say yes, and you'll be the Vanderbilt Group's sole representative in North America.

01:06:50The $50 million mansion in Manhattan, all the trust funds in my name, they'll all have

01:06:54your signature on them.

01:06:55Let's go back to how we were before.

01:06:57Back to when I only had you, okay?

01:07:00Ever since you left, everything has spiraled out of control for me.

01:07:04Why do those difficult shareholders and partners only recognize you?

01:07:08Ava, where are you?

01:07:09Only now do I realize that all my external success was because of you.

01:07:14It was only after the day you left me that I realized just how important you were to me.

01:07:18Ava, pour me a cup of coffee.

01:07:21I got used to working late nights with the coffee you brought me.

01:07:24Used to you handling all my troubles.

01:07:26Without you, my world is just gray.

01:07:32Ava, I really can't live without you.

01:07:34For God's sake, come back to me.

01:07:36Logan, I've been by your side for so long.

01:07:38Have you ever respected me?

01:07:40Have you ever cared about me?

01:07:42I admit, I owe you a debt of gratitude.

01:07:44But these past five years, I've already repaid it.

01:07:47You don't need to put on this act of deep affection for the sake of your pathetic possessiveness.

01:07:51Don't be so distant with me, Ava.

01:07:54Let's start over, like before.

01:07:56Let me spoil you again, okay?

01:07:57Don't you think you look like a child right now?

01:08:00Ava, listen to me.

01:08:01I'm not angry that you left Vanderbilt five years ago, really.

01:08:03I just think those unpleasant things are in the past now.

01:08:06Since it's all in the past, Chapman Logan, there's no need to lower yourself by bringing up old debts.

01:08:11The current distance is good for both of us.

01:08:13I've already humbled myself and apologized to you.

01:08:16Isn't that enough for you?

01:08:17I don't need your apology, and I have no interest in playing hard to get with you.

01:08:21You should be more worried about your white moonlight.

01:08:23Won't Elena go crazy if she finds out you came to see me so publicly today?

01:08:27Don't mention her.

01:08:28We, we've broken up.

01:08:32Ava, you bitch.

01:08:34If it weren't for you setting me up and making me lose my vice president position, if it weren't for

01:08:38you, I would have long secured my place as Mrs. Vanderbilt.

01:08:40Look at what I've been reduced to now.

01:08:42I will make you pay a hundredfold.

01:08:45I've broken up and gotten back together with her countless times this past year, and I finally realized she's not

01:08:49the innocent girl I fell in love with at Yale back then.

01:08:52She's like a lunadeck.

01:08:53Every time I neglect her, she tries everything to hurt herself, even resorting to using her body.

01:08:57Such a cheap way to win me back.

01:08:59I'm really tired.

01:09:00Logan, I have zero interest in the low-level love-hate drama between you two.

01:09:04If you ask me out just to vent these emotional grievance, then I'm afraid I must excuse myself.

01:09:08Ava, stop acting like a child.

01:09:10Since we're both single, why don't we give a proper relationship a try?

01:09:13I only used to see her as a substitute, but if I really make her my official girlfriend, a queen

01:09:18of finance like her, she would be overwhelmed with gratitude and accept me.

01:09:23Give me a chance.

01:09:24Be my girlfriend.

01:09:26I'm sorry, Chairman Logan.

01:09:28I have a husband, and what he gives me is always the best.

01:09:32What?

01:09:33What did you say?

01:09:37Ava, this is impossible.

01:09:38All of New York knows you used to be madly in love with me.

01:09:41How could you possibly love someone else?

01:09:42This must be your way of getting back at me.

01:09:44The ring is fake?

01:09:45Your marriage is fake, right?

01:09:47Logan, your arrogance is as nauseating as ever.

01:09:51Put it there and get out, Ava.

01:09:52Don't think doing something will earn you my love.

01:09:55You're just a well-behaved bitch I keep, understand?

01:09:58So he always knew.

01:10:00He always knew how much the old Ava loved him, yet he took everything I gave for granted.

01:10:04Just because of that sponsorship back then, he treated me like a lowly slave, summoning and dismissed me at Willie.

01:10:13All right, I know you're still angry with me.

01:10:16Is it because I made you take the blame for Elena's mistake all those years ago?

01:10:20Or because I made you move out of the villa?

01:10:22I'm not angry with you.

01:10:23It's just that all of that is in the past now.

01:10:26Listen, you can drop the act with that so-called contract boyfriend.

01:10:29I've completely broken things off with Elena.

01:10:31My patience is limited, Ava.

01:10:33Stop making a scene.

01:10:33I can give you a proper title.

01:10:35We can officially be boyfriend and girlfriend.

01:10:37Breaking up?

01:10:38Logan, you want to dump me for this bitch?

01:10:41If I can't have you, no one will.

01:10:44Logan, take back your cheap charity.

01:10:48I've already told you, I have a husband, and he's 10,000 times better than you.

01:10:53There will never be a place for you in my world again.

01:10:56Tomorrow, I'm leaving New York for Los Angeles.

01:11:00We won't be seeing each other again.

01:11:01Leaving?

01:11:03You can't possibly refuse me.

01:11:06I know it.

01:11:07You must have found another so-called boyfriend to trick me again, just like before.

01:11:24It's you?

01:11:25Ava!

01:11:26You're still trying to seduce my husband?

01:11:28You vicious woman, won't you be satisfied until you've driven me to my death?

01:11:33Me seducing your husband?

01:11:35What a joke.

01:11:37Everyone, come and look at this bitch.

01:11:38She used to cling to me and my husband like a stubborn piece of gum that wouldn't come off.

01:11:43Later, to climb the ladder, she shamelessly became Logan's secret mistress for five years.

01:11:47Stubbornly staying in the villa and refusing to leave no matter what.

01:11:50Now Logan and I are about to get married, and she actually comes back to harass us like a persistent,

01:11:56low-class woman.

01:11:56Do you have any shame left?

01:11:59She looks so well-dressed, actually a professional homewrecker.

01:12:03You really see all kinds of people these days.

01:12:06Women who get ahead through improper means have hearts as black as can be.

01:12:09You all be the judge.

01:12:12It's this woman who stole my vice president position and took everything from me.

01:12:18Now that I'm down and out, she comes back flaunting her designer clothes?

01:12:22Ava, why don't you just die, you evil woman?

01:12:25Let him go.

01:12:38You, you bitch, how dare you hit me?

01:12:41Since you love smearing me with dirt so much, this slap is what you deserve.

01:12:46Say one more word, and I'll make you suffer a terrible death.

01:12:52Elena, I don't care what kind of dirty entanglement you still have with Logan.

01:12:57That's your business.

01:12:58Stay away from me from now on.

01:13:01Ava, since you've Aldi rolled out of New York and out of my sight, why do you have to come

01:13:06like a haunting ghost?

01:13:07Elena, don't assume everyone is like you, only capable of clinging to a man.

01:13:11Stop pretending. You came back because you still love Logan and can't let go of his power and influence, right?

01:13:17So now you want to come and humbly be his secret mistress again, just like before, don't you?

01:13:21I won't accept a single word of your slander. I'm here for work. I have my own family and life.

01:13:26As for you, Elena, that pure, selfless, and above-worldy desire's white moonlight persona you've meticulously built it for five

01:13:33years has completely crumbled to dust in front of Logan.

01:13:37Since you messed it up yourself, you should figure out a way to beg for his forgiveness yourself.

01:13:44Why come to take it out on an innocent me?

01:13:47I have no obligation to help a woman like you keep a man who's changed his heart.

01:13:53You bitch! Shut up!

01:14:04Logan! Why are you so cold to me? You won't even answer my calls? Is it all because of this

01:14:09woman?

01:14:10It's Ava who ruined the future we were supposed to have, isn't it?

01:14:13Elena, wake up. Ava never clung to me. She even finds the thought of seeing me repulsive.

01:14:19Everyone listen up. Elena and I are completely over.

01:14:22So they broke up a long time ago?

01:14:24Then what's this woman doing here, pretending to be the rightful wife?

01:14:27No. Impossible. Why?

01:14:31Logan, you loved me so much back at Yale. You were even willing to defy your entire family for me.

01:14:36Why don't you love me anymore?

01:14:37Back then, funding you, even putting you in a high position, perhaps is all because I'm too arrogant.

01:14:45Perhaps what I loved before was just an illusion. A shadow I thought was real.

01:14:51After leaving Ava during countless sleepless nights, I realized that I truly love is actually...

01:15:00Logan! You can't leave! You can't just kick me out like this!

01:15:03Get out of my sight immediately. Otherwise, I won't mind making you disappear from all of New York.

01:15:07Security! Drag this crazy woman out!

01:15:08No! Logan! Ava, you bitch! I won't let you get away with this! I am the only one fit to

01:15:13be Mrs. Vanderbilt!

01:15:14Ava, I'm sorry.

01:15:17Logan, we're even now. There's no one who owes anyone an apology.

01:15:21No, Ava. I want to tell you, I love you.

01:15:25It wasn't until you disappeared from my sight that I realized you're the one I love most in this life.

01:15:31Really? Back then, you liked Elena. You always took my efforts for granted, treated me like your slave.

01:15:36It's only now, after you've been together and grown tired of her despicable tricks, that you remember my good points.

01:15:41That's not true. Ava, it wasn't until I officially dated her that I realized how good you are.

01:15:47I started thinking about you like crazy, remembering every late night you stayed up with me, remembering that only you

01:15:52understood my ambitions.

01:15:54I couldn't see my own heart clearly before. It wasn't until I lost you that I understood the one I

01:15:58truly love is you.

01:15:59Ava, let's start over. Give us a real try, okay?

01:16:03Logan, I'm telling you for the last time, I'm already married.

01:16:09Married? Ava, you must be lying to me.

01:16:12Just like when you found a fake boyfriend in college to make me jealous, right?

01:16:15You must still have feelings for me.

01:16:17Otherwise, why would you go through all this trouble to make up such an absurd lie to deceive me?

01:16:23Logan, if you lay another hand on my wife, don't blame me for being polite.

01:16:27Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Liam, the global chairman of Liberty Financial.

01:16:32Husband, Liam, this can't be. How could this happen?

01:16:39Honey, this is Mr. Logan, the benefactor I mentioned before who supported me at Yale University, and also my former

01:16:44friend.

01:16:45Mr. Logan, I've heard so much about you. My wife mentions you often.

01:16:52Enough!

01:16:53Ava, you're quite the actress.

01:16:55To make me give up completely, you even hired a stand-in, didn't you?

01:16:59Stop lying to me!

01:17:00You can only marry me! How could you marry someone else?

01:17:03Logan, I really want to thank you for your past support of Ava.

01:17:06Without your generosity back then, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet such a perfect wife.

01:17:11If the Vanderbilt Group ever needs anything from me in the future,

01:17:14I'll be your service, as a way for my wife to repay your kindness.

01:17:17Logan, although I'm grateful for your support, it's really getting late.

01:17:22We have to catch our private jet back to Harbor City tomorrow, so we won't keep you any longer.

01:17:27Honey, let's go.

01:17:29Ava, are you really... leaving tomorrow?

01:17:32Are you really gonna leave my world completely?

01:17:35Yes. Goodbye, Mr. Logan.

01:18:11Honey, it's so early. Where are you going?

01:18:14Did I wake you?

01:18:16Be good, I'm gonna get you breakfast.

01:18:22So diligent.

01:18:24Didn't you keep saying yesterday how much you liked the burgers here?

01:18:28Today's our last day here.

01:18:29I can't let you go back to Los Angeles with regrets, right?

01:18:34Thank you, honey.

01:18:36Come back soon.

01:18:41Honey, I'll personally take care of ending your troubles for you.

01:18:52So, what do you want to see me about?

01:18:5930 million dollars.

01:19:02Take this money and leave Ava for good.

01:19:04A woman at the pinnacle of finance like her is not someone an ordinary man like you, who relies on

01:19:09his looks, can aspire to.

01:19:11This money is enough for you to squagger for the rest of your life.

01:19:14Name your price and stay away from her.

01:19:20You're telling me to leave Ava.

01:19:25What, not enough?

01:19:27Liam, don't play the top-tier tycoon in front of me.

01:19:30I've looked into you.

01:19:31Back at Yale University, you were just a poor student, barely scraping by on scholarships and part-time works.

01:19:38That ingrained poverty-straken air about you, you can't wash it off no matter how many suits you change into.

01:19:48For someone like you, who's already bankrupt and can't even afford the liquidation bills,

01:19:53these 30 million dollars are indeed enough for you to live like a nouveau riche in the slums for the

01:19:58rest of your life.

01:20:00You still only know how to measure everything with this filthy money.

01:20:04Ava choosing you is truly blind.

01:20:11Talking to me about money?

01:20:13Logan, back then you treated Ava as a substitute for Elena, summoning her at will and dismissing her just as

01:20:20easily.

01:20:20With those pitiful so-called funding resources and a few charity black cards,

01:20:25you actually thought you could buy out her entire five years of use and dignity.

01:20:30The moment you pushed her out to take the fall for that woman and left her to fend for herself

01:20:35in the rain,

01:20:36you completely lost the right to stand here and talk about her in that tone with me.

01:20:50What are you doing?

01:20:51Who gave you permission to touch my things?

01:20:53This is the Vanderbilt Group!

01:20:55Mr. Logan, we're finished.

01:20:56Because of those shell company guarantee slips Elena signed,

01:20:59plus the FBI case against her for selling sub-bedroom construction equipment privately,

01:21:02the court declared us officially bankrupt an hour ago.

01:21:05Bankrupt's impossible.

01:21:06When Ava was here, we were still the financial leader of Manhattan.

01:21:08How long has it been?

01:21:09How could we possibly go bankrupt?

01:21:11Get out!

01:21:11Don't touch my assets!

01:21:12This is my empire!

01:21:13Mr. Logan, please keep your distance.

01:21:15The liquidation process has already begun.

01:21:17If you continue to interfere with official duties, we will be forced to take action.

01:21:26I'm such a fool.

01:21:27Ava was clearly the one holding up the empire,

01:21:29and I kicked her out of the company to protect that useless waste, Elena.

01:21:42Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.

01:21:45She is my chosen future wife,

01:21:46and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.

01:21:55Fine.

01:21:57This one last time.

01:21:59I'll take the bullet for you one last time.

01:22:02If Ava were still here,

01:22:04the company wouldn't have collapsed.

01:22:06I'd still be that arrogant CEO.

01:22:08Now it's all gone.

01:22:10Logan, I have no interest in that position anymore.

01:22:12I spent five years by your side as a substitute,

01:22:15handling countless shady bad debts for you,

01:22:17and even took a bullet for Elena.

01:22:18The debts I owed have long been paid off.

01:22:20We are even now.

01:22:21I always felt that she owed me something,

01:22:22and that all the sacrifices she made were deserved.

01:22:24I was wrong.

01:22:25Ridiculously wrong.

01:22:30Chairman,

01:22:31I personally spent half a month in Silicon Valley

01:22:34to poach this sales genius,

01:22:36Carter.

01:22:37With him on board,

01:22:38no one can touch Vanderbilt's market share in North America.

01:22:42This man's background is indeed clean and formidable.

01:22:47And these offshore projects,

01:22:49I've been tracking them for two years.

01:22:51I've pinzily done all the risk assessments.

01:22:53As long as I'm here,

01:22:55none of your decisions will go wrong.

01:22:56If Ava were still by my side,

01:22:59I'd still be that top heir surrounded by admirers.

01:23:02She would have handled all the trouble.

01:23:07It wasn't until today that I realized

01:23:09the person who loved me most in this world

01:23:11was actually destroyed by my own hands.

01:23:18What is Elena?

01:23:19She's not even one ten thousandths of Ava.

01:23:21I've lost the most precious treasure in the world.

01:23:24No, I can't give up like this.

01:23:25I believe Ava still loves me.

01:23:27I have to find her.

01:23:28Win her back.

01:23:30Ava!

01:23:31Don't go!

01:23:31Ava!

01:23:33Young man,

01:23:33you've got some nerve blocking my car.

01:23:35But you are quite a looker.

01:23:37I just got rid of my last boy toy, you know.

01:23:39If you behave,

01:23:40I might just take you under my wing.

01:23:42Get away from me!

01:23:43Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!

01:23:46Get lost!

01:23:47A down-and-out loser putting on airs?

01:23:49You don't know what's good for you.

01:23:58What's wrong?

01:24:00Nothing.

01:24:01I just remembered a really good restaurant.

01:24:03Let me take you there.

01:24:04Sure.

01:24:10You order first.

01:24:12I'm going to the restroom.

01:24:13Okay.

01:24:29Hello, this is the chairman of Vanderbilt.

01:24:32Who is this?

01:24:32This is Liam,

01:24:34chairman of Liberty Financial.

01:24:35Mr. Liam,

01:24:37what can I do for you with this sudden call?

01:24:39I think you should discipline your son Logan properly.

01:24:42Ava is my wife now,

01:24:44my beloved.

01:24:44And your son has been acting like a madman these past few days,

01:24:48severely disrupting our family life,

01:24:50even daring to challenge my bottom line.

01:24:54I understand what you mean.

01:24:56I'll handle it.

01:25:07Hey, dad.

01:25:08You bastard.

01:25:09Do you have any idea who you're messing with?

01:25:11Ava is now the wife of Liam,

01:25:13the founder of the global financial giant Liberty Financial,

01:25:16a chairman worth hundreds of billions.

01:25:19What?

01:25:19Listen,

01:25:20if you want to keep your life,

01:25:21get your ass home right now.

01:25:23Otherwise,

01:25:24I'll announce today

01:25:25that I'm stripping you of all your inheritance rights

01:25:27and you're out of the Vanderbilt family for good.

01:25:32What?

01:25:33Liam,

01:25:34is that mysterious mastermind behind Liberty?

01:25:37Impossible.

01:25:37Absolutely impossible.

01:25:39That man who just seemed to buy breakfast

01:25:40and take care of kids for Ava

01:25:42is actually the titan

01:25:43who holds the global financial lifeline

01:25:45worth hundreds of billions?

01:25:46I actually,

01:25:47I actually dared to think I could,

01:25:48with a mere $30 million,

01:25:50what the hell have I done?

01:26:04I actually did.

01:26:06Elena,

01:26:07if that loser Logan knew you were keeping a man in his marital bed,

01:26:11wouldn't he go crazy on the spot?

01:26:14He's busy dealing with the FBI's bankruptcy investigation right now.

01:26:18How could he have the time to care about me?

01:26:20You're really ruthless.

01:26:20You emptied his overseas accounts,

01:26:23brought down his Vanderbilt group,

01:26:24and yet you secured a $50 million escape route for yourself.

01:26:27I do love this foolish man,

01:26:29but I only love his money.

01:26:30Now that he has no more use value,

01:26:31of course I need to find someone younger and more obedient.

01:26:34Elena,

01:26:35what are you doing?

01:26:38Have you no shame?

01:26:40Messing around in my villa,

01:26:42on my bed?

01:26:43You heartless woman!

01:26:45I was truly blind back then

01:26:46to have abandoned Ava for someone like you.

01:26:51Logan,

01:26:52have you lost your mind?

01:26:54I just brought a friend back to have some fun.

01:26:56Is it worth getting so worked up over?

01:26:58You're my fiancé.

01:27:00You're using my money to support other men,

01:27:01and you expect me not to be angry?

01:27:03Stop pretending to be so devoted.

01:27:05Back at Yale,

01:27:06I changed men every day,

01:27:07all funded by the money you gave me.

01:27:09Did you really think I loved you?

01:27:10I loved the Vanderbilt family behind you,

01:27:12the one that could buy me her mess

01:27:13and get me to the Grammy Awards.

01:27:15Logan,

01:27:15this guy is a broke,

01:27:16debt-rended bankrupt up now.

01:27:17There's no need for us to waste words on him.

01:27:18You swindled all my money

01:27:20and ruined the company.

01:27:21I'm going to send you to prison.

01:27:23Black has already helped me transfer the money out.

01:27:25He's my true love now.

01:27:27You're history.

01:27:32I used to fawn over you like a dog

01:27:34because you were supporting me.

01:27:36Now you're not even as good as a stray dog.

01:27:39What do you think you are?

01:27:43I paid for your college.

01:27:44I paid for you to come back and be vice president.

01:27:47For you,

01:27:48Ava left.

01:27:48My company is gone.

01:27:50How could you do this to me?

01:27:51That's because you were willing to be the sucker.

01:27:54Who's to blame for your stupidity?

01:27:56Now you don't have a single penny left.

01:27:58What gives you the right to tell me what to do?

01:28:00Black,

01:28:00let's go.

01:28:01This place reeks of sour failure.

01:28:03Let's find another hotel to continue.

01:28:05You got it.

01:28:06I'll make sure to serve my queen well today.

01:28:09Stop.

01:28:10Give back all the money you swindled from me.

01:28:12Every single cent I ever spent on you.

01:28:15Dream on.

01:28:16That's the compensation you owe me for my youth.

01:28:18Get lost.

01:28:20Ava,

01:28:20I was wrong.

01:28:21It turns out you were the only one in this world who truly cared for me

01:28:23and I lost the woman who loved me most in life.

01:28:26Elena,

01:28:27you ruined me.

01:28:29And I swear I won't let you get away with it.

01:28:43Ava,

01:28:44I just received news from Hei Chang.

01:28:45The Vanderbilt Group has been completely liquidated due to the failure of several fatal gambling agreements,

01:28:50plus the major engineering accident caused by the batch of construction equipment Elena was responsible for.

01:28:56Aren't you the least bit curious?

01:28:59Without you,

01:29:00the anchor that held everything together,

01:29:01that empire once hailed as unsinkable,

01:29:04has collapsed so quickly.

01:29:05It's not surprising at all.

01:29:07From the moment I walked out of that office,

01:29:10Logan and his company have been nothing but a moldy old debt in my life.

01:29:13If it's trash,

01:29:14it's only a matter of time before it gets cleaned up.

01:29:17There's something even more interesting.

01:29:19Logan,

01:29:20driven by extreme hatred because Elena took his last life string and publicly humiliated him,

01:29:25killed Elena on the streets of Manhattan.

01:29:27He's facing the most severe charges.

01:29:32He has only himself to blame for falling to the state,

01:29:35for loving a poison he shouldn't have.

01:29:36But the people and things in that ruin have nothing to do with me anymore.

01:29:40All I want now is to build our life well.

01:29:42Right.

01:29:45But tonight,

01:29:46we have an important topic to discuss.

01:29:50I haven't heard about any meeting tonight.

01:29:52The topic I'm talking about

01:29:54is how many lively and adorable little babies we're going to have.
