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.

00:00:17Elena'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.

00:00:35In our freshman year, both Elena and I were poor students living on scholarships.

00:00:40But with that innocent face of hers, she became the goddess of every man on campus,

00:00:45including 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.

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

00:01:05You're broke too, right?

00:01:07Help me win her over. If 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-clear university offer to Cambridge, funded by Logan.

00:01:22Logan, and I, I became her substitute, Logan's caged cunori.

00:01:31They think I've been discarded, that I'll become the laughing-ass dang 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.

00:02:09Ava, it'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.

00:02:36That genius girl who once ruled Wall Street is coming.

00:02:39Five years.

00:02:40I 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?

00:02:57It's no trouble at all.

00:02:59Happy to help.

00:03:00By the way, I 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.

00:03:15Justing Remichin.

00:03:16Ava, go line up for that limited edition item for us.

00:03:19Hurry 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.

00:03:33His 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.

00:03:53Ava, why aren't you touching your cutlery?

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

00:03:57It's very expensive.

00:03:59I'm not hungry.

00:04:00Oh, I remember now.

00:04:01You're allergic to seafood?

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

00:04:04No need.

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

00:04:07He knows perfectly well I'm allergic to seafood, and he knows Elena chose this place on purpose.

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

00:04:14Ava, I invited a few old classmates tonight to 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.

00:04:26Isn't it inappropriate to her cook like a maid?

00:04:27What'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 gonna kick her out?

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

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

00:04:57Don'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.

00:05:06Not 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?

00:05:37So 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?

00:06:15Hmph, this 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 I'm 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.

00:06:54Fine.

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.

00:07:17In 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.

00:07:54I'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 are really drunk.

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

00:08:05No need.

00:08:05I can walk by myself.

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

00:08:09Take a taxi 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.

00:08:40Logan, don'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?

00:08:52I 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.

00:09:11That shield better be a decent one.

00:09:14Don't embarrass me.

00:09:23You 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.

00:09:34My 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.

00:10:04We'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.

00:10:18From 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,

00:10:38so she's definitely getting promoted to co-CEO at the headquarters.

00:10:40Naturally.

00:10:41Vanderbilt 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.

00:10:54Regarding 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

00:11:08and demoted to vice president's assistant.

00:11:11What?

00:11:11Demoted 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

00:11:22from Cambridge, Miss Elena.

00:11:25Hello, everyone.

00:11:26Although I lack practical experience,

00:11:28I believe my international perspective is more suited to leading the company to a higher level.

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.

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

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

00:12:30This 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 lowiness.

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.

00:13:12I 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, and 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.

00:13:34Ava, bring your nonpoing along.

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

00:13:39Yes, I'm also him 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.

00:14:04What?

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 Vandert Group is controlled by elites like me with an international vision.

00:14:16Please 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!

00:14:24What nonsense are you talking about?

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

00:14:28Stop pretending.

00:14:29I'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.

00:14:36You 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!

00:14:42Vandert Group letting a paranoid lunark like this be vice president means bankruptcy

00:14:45is 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.

00:14:55Vandert Group is finished.

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

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.

00:15:32Don'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.

00:15:39Don'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 Gritzaukes 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

00:16:06her 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.

00:16:22By 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.

00:16:44Lena, this is a welcome gift to celebrate your official entry into the Vanderbilt Group.

00:16:49Oh!

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

00:17:12to 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.

00:17:33Don'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.

00:17:44Logan, thank you for the financial support back then, for saving my critically ill mother,

00:17:49and for giving me a foothold 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

00:18:14his 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, this glass I 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, it's terrible.

00:18:33Grant Financial just formally issued a legal letter, announcing a complete withdrawal of

00:18:37investment and suing us for a bridge of contract.

00:18:39The company's stock price has already hit the limit down.

00:18:46Chairman, something terrible has happened.

00:18:49Grant Financial has not only dominated all cooperation, but has also joined forces with

00:18:53the four major investment banks on Wall Street to launch a comprehensive blockade against us.

00:18:58How is that possible?

00:19:00Grant has been our staunch ally for five years.

00:19:01Why would they suddenly turn against us?

00:19:04On the day of the signing, Vice President Elena maliciously speculated that Chairman Grant

00:19:08was peeping at her and 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, I 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?

00:19:25If you had stopped this foolish behavior in time, how could things have got this rotten?

00:19:28Chairman, Ms. Ava tried her best to stop it and even demanded Elena apologize immediately.

00:19:33It was Elena who wouldn't listen and even threatened Ms. Ava.

00:19:36That's right.

00:19:36If Ms. Ava hadn't intervened, Elena would have probably torn the other party to shreds

00:19:40right there in the conference room.

00:19:43Ava, even if she stopped you, couldn'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, President Amba was about to report it at the time, but Vice President Elena said

00:19:55she would communicate with you personally.

00:19:56It seems she didn't mention a single word.

00:19:58Honey, I just wanted to find the right time to explain.

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

00:20:02Chairman, the board of directors at headquarters demands you return for a meeting immediately.

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

00:20:10Ava, come with me.

00:20:19Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.

00:20:20She is my chosen future wife, and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.

00:20:26So, you 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 probation that angered Mr. Grant and led

00:20:35to the withdrawal of funds.

00:20:36Don't worry.

00:20:37Once the dust settles, I'll find a way to bring you back.

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

00:20:42In these five years, how many messes have I cleaned up for him?

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

00:20:46Logan, how can you be so at ease without an even seal of quills?

00:20:51Logan, one should be responsible for one's own actions.

00:20:54If Ava isn't reeling, just 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, do 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?

00:21:24Could it be, I really went too far?

00:21:27Darling, stop thinking about that assistant.

00:21:29She took your money.

00:21:29It's her honor to take the fall for me.

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

00:21:33Don'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 Logri Chen-ni at your foot.

00:21:45That's your runt.

00:21:46Let's go.

00:21:47Tonight, you are the only star.

00:21:55What are you doing here?

00:21:57Mr. Grant, I am here on behalf of the group

00:21:59to formally apologize to you.

00:22:01To 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!

00:22:09Tell Logan to kneel before me himself,

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

00:22:16In New York, no one dares to touch Grant's face.

00:22:19You want to make peace?

00:22:21Dream on.

00:22:21Mr. Grant, I 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, right?

00:22:39Drink 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, the future of the Vanderbilt group

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

00:23:16Congratulations, Miss 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.

00:23:54She 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?

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

00:24:08Who gave you permission to leave me at a time like this?

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

00:24:12just 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 allowed me to finish college.

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

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

00:24:28Over 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 from back then.

00:24:37Goodbye forever, Logan.

00:24:43Ava, these reports must be redone

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

00:24:46Also, go to that Michelin-starred restaurant at Moon

00:24:48and queue up to make a reservation for me.

00:24:50Logan likes their truffles.

00:24:51You can keep this garbage and chew on it yourself.

00:24:54As for making a reservation,

00:24:55if you're not so useless that 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 to order me around.

00:25:03Ava, where do you get the nerve

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

00:25:05Without me,

00:25:06you're not even fit to 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 wagging your tail like a stray dog.

00:25:14Elena, you've played the part

00:25:15of that pure money-disdaining white moonlight

00:25:17very successfully.

00:25:18But remember,

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

00:25:20When Logan discovers the rot beneath that skin of yours,

00:25:22I hope you can still smile so brightly.

00:25:35Chairman,

00:25:36the accounts are settled.

00:25:38Thank you for the hell you've given me all these years.

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

00:25:52Ava,

00:25:53you really left?

00:25:56How dare she leave without my permission?

00:26:01Ava,

00:26:02I'll use all my votes on the board to keep you.

00:26:04I haven't approved this resignation report yet.

00:26:06Get back to the company right now.

00:26:08Chairman Logan,

00:26:09there's no need.

00:26:10The nature of this withdrawal incident

00:26:12is extremely severe.

00:26:13Vanderbilt Group must give the other party an 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 calm down,

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

00:26:23Also,

00:26:24take that black card on the table.

00:26:25It's your compensation.

00:26:26I never intended for you to pay back that tuition money.

00:26:29Chairman,

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

00:26:30and I especially don't like owing favors.

00:26:33The money in that card

00:26:34was what you funded me with for university.

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

00:26:37Ava,

00:26:38because I let Elena take your position

00:26:39and made you take the fall for her

00:26:41that you're unhappy?

00:26:42You have to understand my predicament.

00:26:43Elena just returned to the country.

00:26:45She needs a perfect resume

00:26:47to solidify her position in the company.

00:26:49Your abilities are known throughout New York.

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

00:26:52it won't hurt your foundation at all.

00:26:54I'm not angry.

00:26:55In fact,

00:26:55I'm even grateful for taking this fall.

00:26:57It made me realize

00:26:58how liberating freedom feels.

00:27:00Where exactly are you planning to go?

00:27:01To a place where there's no more you and Elena.

00:27:04Isn't that what you've always wanted most?

00:27:06From now on,

00:27:08no one will stand in the way

00:27:09of your white mood line anymore.

00:27:11I...

00:27:11Ava,

00:27:12listen to me.

00:27:14The boarding announcement is on.

00:27:16Goodbye, Logan.

00:27:39Darling,

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

00:27:41We should celebrate being together.

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

00:27:44Oh, she's worked so hard all these years.

00:27:46She see our happiness with her own eyes.

00:28:02Five years of waiting

00:28:03have finally borne fruit tonight.

00:28:05In this world,

00:28:06nothing is more precious

00:28:08than a love that's been lost and found again.

00:28:10I love you, Logan.

00:28:11Congratulations.

00:28:13True lovers are destined to be together.

00:28:16The one Logan truly loves

00:28:17has always been only you.

00:28:20Congratulations.

00:28:21You are the only queen for Logan.

00:28:27Five years of waiting

00:28:29have finally borne fruit tonight.

00:28:30In this world,

00:28:32nothing is more precious

00:28:33than a love that's been lost and found again.

00:28:35I love you, Logan.

00:28:37I love you, Logan.

00:28:38True lovers are destined to be together.

00:28:41The one Logan truly loves

00:28:43has always been only you.

00:28:45Congratulations.

00:28:46You are the only queen for Logan.

00:28:49The lovers can finally embrace each other

00:28:51in the sunlight.

00:28:52Congratulations, Logan.

00:28:53You've finally waited

00:28:54for the white moonlight of your dreams.

00:28:56And I, too,

00:28:57have finally waited for my freedom.

00:29:05Welcome 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 Liam?

00:29:26Miss Ava,

00:29:27let me formally introduce you.

00:29:28This is the founder

00:29:29and chairman of our Liberty Financial.

00:29:31I've been waiting right 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.

00:29:41All right.

00:29:42I'll give it my all.

00:29:52Ava,

00:29:52Elena has officially accepted my proposal.

00:29:55We're having a celebration party

00:29:57at the penthouse tonight.

00:29:58You should come.

00:29:59Elena said she wants you to witness

00:30:01our happiest moment

00:30:02with 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

00:30:12over the scapegoat incident?

00:30:14When did you become so petty,

00:30:15so unreasonable?

00:30:16You should understand my disfella.

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

00:30:19You're overthinking it.

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

00:30:22All right.

00:30:23I'm very busy.

00:30:24That's all.

00:30:25Fuck.

00:30:33Logan,

00:30:34I've already repaid your kindness

00:30:35with five years of my freedom.

00:30:37From now on,

00:30:38our worlds will no longer intersect.

00:30:40My life is only truly beginning now.

00:30:49Ava!

00:30:50You damn woman,

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

00:30:52but you actually dared to hang up on me.

00:30:55She's getting more in there,

00:30:56Godinus.

00:30:57Sorry,

00:30:58another thing died.

00:30:59It's powered out.

00:31:00Darling,

00:31:01Ava must still be angry with me.

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

00:31:04How about on our wedding day?

00:31:06I go and invite her personally.

00:31:09I believe she'll eventually bless us

00:31:11with tears in her eyes.

00:31:19Exactly.

00:31:20What right does she have to refuse me?

00:31:22Everything she has now was given by me.

00:31:26She's nothing but a dog I raised.

00:31:29It won't be long before she gets knocked around

00:31:31and bruised out there

00:31:33and then obediently crawls back,

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

00:31:38But why did her tone sound so unfamiliar just now?

00:31:41This feeling of losing my grip,

00:31:43could it really be just an illusion?

00:31:44Why do I have this feeling

00:31:45that she's going to disappear from my side?

00:32:04Ava,

00:32:04welcome to Liberty Financial.

00:32:06From today on,

00:32:08this is your stage.

00:32:11Chairman,

00:32:12we have a major problem.

00:32:13Our merger negotiations

00:32:14with Everett Group

00:32:14have completely reached a deadlock.

00:32:16The other party's chief negotiator

00:32:17suddenly turned hostile,

00:32:18demanding an additional 20% of equity shares

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

00:32:21or they'll terminate the cooperation immediately.

00:32:23What?

00:32:24We've been preparing for this project

00:32:26for five whole years,

00:32:27investing hundreds of millions of dollars

00:32:29in upfront capital.

00:32:30If it collapses now,

00:32:31the group's cash flow will dry up instantly.

00:32:33We won't be able to hold on.

00:32:34Are the people they sent that guy

00:32:36nicked him the vulture miller?

00:32:37And they notoriously greedy Harrison?

00:32:39Yes.

00:32:40It's them.

00:32:42These two are notoriously difficult

00:32:44to deal with on Wall Street.

00:32:45They don't play by any professional rules.

00:32:49What a coincidence.

00:32:51Back at the Vanderbilt Group,

00:32:52I almost drive those two into 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 to hand over

00:33:06such a big project to a new face?

00:33:08Let me formally introduce to everyone.

00:33:10This is the company's newly assigned

00:33:12Executive Vice President

00:33:13and Chief Operating Officer, Ava.

00:33:16Hello, everyone.

00:33:17I'm Ava.

00:33:18Transfer all the core materials

00:33:19in our tumbles to President Ava.

00:33:21She has the highest decisioning authority

00:33:23for the coming negotiations.

00:33:24Understood.

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.

00:33:34I firmly believe

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

00:33:36Ava, she is a top-class hunter

00:33:39on Wall Street.

00:33:40I believe she won't miss.

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

00:33:44The other kind is notoriously stingy

00:33:46on Wall Street.

00:33:48This President Ava is a war goddess,

00:33:50the chairman personally snatched

00:33:51from the hands of 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 Brzus' 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 of the acquisition

00:34:18for this Liberty Financial project.

00:34:20I never imagined

00:34:21our opponent would be you.

00:34:23So what's the word left to 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,

00:34:40we value long-term cooperation

00:34:42more.

00:34:43Smart.

00:34:44Liberty Financial

00:34:44will provide you with

00:34:45top-tier investment banking

00:34:47support in return.

00:34:48Am I seeing things?

00:34:50That tough nut

00:34:50we've been trying to crack

00:34:51for 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

00:34:55of domination.

00:34:56Incredible.

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

00:34:59Simply amazing.

00:35:00Our company's about

00:35:01to take off.

00:35:01Senior,

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,

00:35:17Logan 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.

00:35:31Since 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?

00:35:44They're known as

00:35:44the devil's representatives

00:35:45who never concede.

00:35:48The essence of business

00:35:49is the equivalent exchange

00:35:51of 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

00:36:21in our favor.

00:36:23Is it really reliable?

00:36:24Of course.

00:36:25This is a project

00:36:26personally recommended

00:36:28by my classmate

00:36:29from 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 bear your head

00:36:45and worker?

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

00:36:51big 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

00:36:59to 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.

00:37:07But Liam,

00:37:08our meeting again,

00:37:10it probably wasn't

00:37:11a coincidence,

00:37:12was it?

00:37:15Actually,

00:37:16I've been silently

00:37:17watching you

00:37:17all these years.

00:37:19It's just that

00:37:20you were too close

00:37:21to Logan

00:37:21and never had

00:37:23a chance to 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,

00:37:31I wanted to invite you

00:37:32to start a business together,

00:37:33but then I heard you

00:37:34join Logan's family business

00:37:35to pay off your debt.

00:37:36From the day

00:37:37I entered Vanderbilt,

00:37:38I never planned

00:37:39to stay for a lifetime.

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

00:37:41Once 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 from his world

00:38:00with a clear conscience.

00:38:01Now that you've come

00:38:02to my side,

00:38:02I 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,

00:38:11just 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 performance.

00:38:35Chairman, it gets worse.

00:38:36We just wired

00:38:37the $50 million advance

00:38:38for 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 blacklist.

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 a 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

00:39:02and with North Mayor's share.

00:39:04This man's background

00:39:05is indeed

00:39:06clean

00:39:06and formidable.

00:39:08And these offshore projects,

00:39:09I'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 hedge agreements

00:39:21with European investment banks

00:39:22in your name.

00:39:23But according to our

00:39:24emergency due diligence,

00:39:26both companies are backed

00:39:26by nothing but shells.

00:39:28The risk is off the circus.

00:39:29Chairman,

00:39:29you have to make a decision

00:39:30or the company

00:39:31will be hollowed out.

00:39:45In such a short time,

00:39:47I've used my university connections

00:39:49to secure so many major projects

00:39:51for Logan.

00:39:52He must be looking at me

00:39:54in a new light now,

00:39:56finally realizing

00:39:57who his true partner

00:39:58in battle is.

00:40:03Investigate.

00:40:04The overseas parent companies

00:40:06of these two projects

00:40:07have no operational qualifications

00:40:10at all.

00:40:10They'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 urgent instructions

00:40:18and has already transferred

00:40:20all the down payments.

00:40:22All transferred?

00:40:24$500 million?

00:40:26How on earth

00:40:27did Elena vet

00:40:27their qualifications?

00:40:28Is 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

00:40:35of 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 quickly

00:41:13get 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?

00:41:40Ava!

00:41:41Open the door!

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

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

00:41:45with me!

00:41:55Ava?

00:42:10Logan,

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

00:42:14Everything you casually

00:42:15handed down to me

00:42:15over the years

00:42:16is in this box.

00:42:21I didn't take

00:42:22a single piece

00:42:23of the trash

00:42:23in the closet

00:42:24that you looked down upon.

00:42:26We're even now.

00:42:28Goodbye forever.

00:42:35What does she mean by this?

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

00:42:40She never used

00:42:41a single one?

00:42:46This Rolex

00:42:47was originally

00:42:48bought for Elena,

00:42:49but

00:42:49I remembered wrong.

00:42:51She doesn't like

00:42:52this kind of rugged strap.

00:42:54It's yours now.

00:42:55Take it and wear.

00:43:13The tag is still on.

00:43:15She never wore any of the clothes

00:43:17I bought for her.

00:43:28Darling,

00:43:30does this limited edition Chanel

00:43:31suit your complexion?

00:43:33Honey,

00:43:33I've long outgrown

00:43:34that old-fashioned style.

00:43:36I have other brands

00:43:37I prefer.

00:43:38Gotta go.

00:43:47I want

00:43:48Elena doesn't like it.

00:43:49This trash is yours now.

00:43:51Throw it away

00:43:51or wear it yourself.

00:43:55These jewels,

00:43:56these clothes,

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

00:43:59Every single thing

00:44:00she left here

00:44:01is a slap in my face.

00:44:03She's telling me

00:44:04she never valued

00:44:05anything I gave her.

00:44:15Ava,

00:44:16what gives you the right

00:44:17to draw a line with me?

00:44:19Are you trying to tell me

00:44:20you've won

00:44:21with all this garbage?

00:44:26Mobilize all our contacts,

00:44:28both legal and underworld.

00:44:30Seal off every exit port

00:44:32in New York.

00:44:33Track that woman down

00:44:34no matter where she's hiding.

00:44:36She doesn't even have

00:44:37the right to die

00:44:38without my permission.

00:44:41How dare she disappear?

00:44:44I'll make her regret

00:44:45ever being born.

00:44:51Ava,

00:44:52what gives you the right

00:44:53to draw a line with me?

00:44:55Are you trying to tell me

00:44:56you've won

00:44:56with all this garbage?

00:45:03Ava,

00:45:04even though you've been driven

00:45:05out of New York,

00:45:06Logan's heart is still

00:45:07completely filled with you.

00:45:09No,

00:45:10you're just my replacement.

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

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

00:45:19know who the future master

00:45:20of the Vanderbilt family is.

00:45:22Ava,

00:45:23you'll forever be stuck

00:45:24in the gutter.

00:45:34Have you found her?

00:45:36Chairman,

00:45:36we've searched all the private

00:45:38clinics and apartments

00:45:38in Manhattan and Queens.

00:45:40There's absolutely no trace

00:45:41of Miss Ava.

00:45:45Dammit!

00:45:46Ava,

00:45:47where the hell are you hiding?

00:45:52Dammit!

00:45:53Ava,

00:45:54where the hell are you hiding?

00:45:55Where exactly are you

00:45:56planning to go?

00:45:57To a place where there's

00:45:58no more you and Elena.

00:45:59She paid off all her debts

00:46:01just to escape me completely.

00:46:02Ava,

00:46:03who gave you the nerve

00:46:04to vanish from my world?

00:46:08Buddy,

00:46:09you're way too low-key.

00:46:10You're about to get married

00:46:11and you didn't even

00:46:12invite us for a drink?

00:46:13Elena's the one with sense.

00:46:15The photos she posted

00:46:15have set all of

00:46:16Wall Street on fire.

00:46:18What wedding?

00:46:19What the hell

00:46:19are you talking about?

00:46:19Stop pretending.

00:46:21Check your social media feed.

00:46:22You guys are really

00:46:23going all out.

00:46:24Was that right after

00:46:25you 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

00:46:40right now, Elena.

00:46:41I brought you back

00:46:42to play the part

00:46:43of the perfect white moonlight

00:46:44not to scheme here.

00:46:47Elena,

00:46:48when did you become

00:46:49so scheming?

00:46:50Logan,

00:46:51I'm your fiancé.

00:46:53Is posting an intimate

00:46:54photo of you

00:46:54some kind of capital crime?

00:46:56Phone.

00:46:57Unlock it.

00:46:58If you want our relationship

00:46:59to end right here,

00:47:00you can keep holding on to it.

00:47:11From now on,

00:47:11you are not to post anything

00:47:12about my private life

00:47:13without permission.

00:47:14Elena,

00:47:15trying to force marriage

00:47:16with such a low-level

00:47:17technic is too childish.

00:47:18This is the first

00:47:19and last time.

00:47:19If it were Ava,

00:47:20she would never do

00:47:21something so stupid.

00:47:22She always knows

00:47:23where the line is.

00:47:24Logan!

00:47:25I did this because

00:47:26I love you too much!

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

00:47:30Scared you'll get tired

00:47:31of me.

00:47:32Scared you'll realize

00:47:33I'm not as capable

00:47:34as Ava.

00:47:35What I fear most

00:47:36is that Ava will come back

00:47:37and take you away from me.

00:47:41Please,

00:47:42don't do this.

00:47:44Logan,

00:47:44please don't go.

00:47:45I'll be good.

00:47:47I'll become the person

00:47:48you want me to be.

00:47:49I'm just so afraid

00:47:50of losing you.

00:47:51Afraid of losing?

00:47:53I admit

00:47:54I made the stupidest decision,

00:47:56but you're the only one

00:47:57in my heart.

00:47:58I really care about you

00:47:59too much.

00:48:01I didn't,

00:48:02Mr. Logan.

00:48:03Don't worry.

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

00:48:05Don't lie.

00:48:06Elena is starting

00:48:07to suspect us.

00:48:08I won't allow you

00:48:09to tarnish the pure love

00:48:10between her and me.

00:48:12I shared a bed with Ava

00:48:13for five whole years.

00:48:14I honestly thought

00:48:15she'd have some shred

00:48:15of attachment.

00:48:16But now,

00:48:16she managed to vanish

00:48:17into thin air

00:48:18without a second thought.

00:48:19Turns out,

00:48:20the one who truly cares

00:48:21never leaves.

00:48:22And the one who never

00:48:23really cared about me

00:48:24walks away

00:48:25with zero regrets.

00:48:26Ava.

00:48:35Due to quality issues,

00:48:36the foundation

00:48:37has collapsed.

00:48:38The other party

00:48:39has officially filed

00:48:40a lawsuit

00:48:40with a federal court

00:48:41demanding that we pay

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

00:48:45What did you say?

00:48:49Darling,

00:48:50look at this.

00:48:50I'm going to replace

00:48:51all those outdated suppliers

00:48:53Ava left behind.

00:48:57Why change them?

00:48:58Those companies

00:48:59have worked with us

00:49:00for ten years

00:49:01without a single mistake.

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

00:49:04The batch I found

00:49:05is half the price.

00:49:07That woman,

00:49:08I treated her so well.

00:49:09And she betrayed me?

00:49:10You'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

00:49:20mencient report.

00:49:21This patch of gong

00:49:22is nothing but

00:49:23inferior recycled scrap,

00:49:24not even meeting

00:49:25half of the minimum

00:49:26safety standards.

00:49:28Vanderbilt Group

00:49:28is not only

00:49:29macing bankruptcy,

00:49:30we'll have to bear

00:49:31criminal sciability.

00:49:32Can you tell me

00:49:33what's going on?

00:49:35Didn't you say

00:49:35it was backed

00:49:36by a top-tier lab?

00:49:40I was deceived

00:49:42by the mid-middle man.

00:49:44I didn't know.

00:49:51Elena,

00:49:51you're fired.

00:49:52Get out of here

00:49:53with your disgusting lies

00:49:54right now.

00:49:55I never want to

00:49:56lay eyes on you again.

00:49:57Logan?

00:49:59For that bitch?

00:50:01You actually hit me?

00:50:03You're firing me

00:50:04over this little money?

00:50:05Get out.

00:50:07Drag this trash

00:50:07out of here.

00:50:12Chairman,

00:50:13if we can't come up

00:50:13with a solution

00:50:14before the market

00:50:15opens tomorrow,

00:50:16Vanderbilt's stock

00:50:16will be wiped out

00:50:17instantly.

00:50:18We're going bankrupt.

00:50:19Bankrupt?

00:50:21Vanderbilt's

00:50:21century-old legacy

00:50:22is going to be

00:50:23destroyed by me?

00:50:24If Ava were here,

00:50:26none of this

00:50:26would have happened.

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

00:50:28How could I have

00:50:29been so blind

00:50:30to let a fool

00:50:31like Elena

00:50:31take the vice

00:50:32president's position?

00:50:33Chairman,

00:50:34I just received a tip.

00:50:35Miss Ava is now

00:50:36at Liberty Financial.

00:50:39What?

00:50:40How dare she go

00:50:41to that small-time

00:50:42company to become

00:50:43my competitor?

00:50:44Who gave her

00:50:45the audacity

00:50:45to betray me

00:50:46like this?

00:50:47Since you're not

00:50:48dead,

00:50:48you must come back

00:50:49and save my empire.

00:50:54Ava,

00:50:55I know your ambitions

00:50:56go far beyond this now.

00:50:57If we secure this deal,

00:50:59Liberty Financial

00:50:59would tear open

00:51:00a crack in the core

00:51:01North American market

00:51:02and soar to new heights.

00:51:03Chairman,

00:51:04I heard that for this

00:51:04Wansang International bid,

00:51:06the competitors

00:51:07are all established

00:51:08Wall Street financial giants

00:51:09and top-tier

00:51:10multinational corporations.

00:51:12She definitely can.

00:51:14In my dictionary,

00:51:16Ava is synonymous

00:51:16with miracle.

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

00:51:19before.

00:51:20This time will be

00:51:21your coronation

00:51:21once 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

00:51:38this deal,

00:51:39it doesn't matter.

00:51:40As long as you come back

00:51:42safely,

00:51:42we have countless

00:51:43more opportunities.

00:51:48I said I'm sorry

00:51:49because starting tomorrow,

00:51:50everyone might have to

00:51:50work overtime

00:51:51for a whole month.

00:51:52The contract,

00:51:52I got it.

00:51:59Sorry, I was just

00:52:00too excited.

00:52:01Oh my God,

00:52:02signing with

00:52:02Wansang International

00:52:03means our company's

00:52:04valuation will double

00:52:05tonight.

00:52:05It's a miracle.

00:52:06Truly the undisputed

00:52:07queen of negotiation

00:52:08on Wall Street.

00:52:09Don't you shower me

00:52:11with praise.

00:52:11This is the result

00:52:12of the whole team's

00:52:13overnight due diligence.

00:52:15Without your data

00:52:15support,

00:52:16I couldn't have

00:52:17signed a single word.

00:52:20Ava,

00:52:21I finally found you,

00:52:22you despicable

00:52:23traitor.

00:52:23Get over here

00:52:24right now.

00:52:28Ava,

00:52:29get over here

00:52:30right now.

00:52:31Chairman Logan,

00:52:32aren't you busy

00:52:33planning that

00:52:33multi-billion dollar

00:52:34wedding of the

00:52:35century for Elena?

00:52:36What brings you

00:52:37to a small company

00:52:38like mine

00:52:38to throw a tantrum?

00:52:40Who gave you

00:52:40permission to

00:52:41change your phone

00:52:41number?

00:52:42Did I ever allow you

00:52:43to disappear from

00:52:44my site?

00:52:45And did you get

00:52:45my permission to

00:52:46work for this

00:52:47rival company?

00:52:48Chairman Donk,

00:52:49it seems your

00:52:49memory is failing

00:52:50you.

00:52:50I've already

00:52:51resigned from

00:52:51your company.

00:52:52Where I go,

00:52:53even if it's

00:52:53to work on Mars,

00:52:54has nothing to

00:52:55with you.

00:52:55Not even half a

00:52:56quent.

00:52:57Ava,

00:52:57I'm giving you

00:52:58one last chance.

00:52:59Get back to

00:53:00my company with

00:53:03frankly attacking

00:53:04our stock price

00:53:04right now.

00:53:05You're the only

00:53:05one who can

00:53:06handle this mess.

00:53:20forgotten who

00:53:22for me,

00:53:23you'd still

00:53:23be in the

00:53:23slums.

00:53:24It was me

00:53:24who put you

00:53:26who brought

00:53:26you into

00:58:19Wall Street,

00:58:20bottoms up.

00:58:22Ava,

00:58:23haven't you

00:58:23noticed?

00:58:24You and our

00:58:24chairman

00:58:25Liam standing

00:58:26together are

00:58:26practically the

00:58:27textbook example

00:58:27of a top-tier

00:58:28Chibon couple.

00:58:30Exactly.

00:58:31Ever since Ava

00:58:31joined, I've

00:58:32never seen

00:58:33chairman Liam

00:58:33sober.

00:58:34His eyes

00:58:34are always

00:58:35full of pink

00:58:35bubbles.

00:58:36Can't all

00:58:36this premium

00:58:37steak shut

00:58:38you up?

00:58:39We agreed

00:58:39tonight, no

00:58:41one leaves

00:58:41until we're

00:58:42drunk, and

00:58:43whoever leaves

00:58:43first pays

00:58:44the bill.

00:58:50Oh, Ava,

00:58:51I can't go

00:58:51on.

00:58:52I'm seeing

00:58:53double.

00:58:54Chairman

00:58:55Liam is in

00:58:55your capable

00:58:56hands now.

00:58:57Right, right,

00:58:57my mom told

00:58:58me to go home

00:58:58for a late

00:58:59night snack.

00:58:59If I'm late,

00:59:00she'll confiscate

00:59:01my credit card.

00:59:02The sacred

00:59:02mission of

00:59:02Escortijon

00:59:03falls to you.

00:59:05Hey,

00:59:06bunch of

00:59:07traitors.

00:59:18Take it

00:59:19easy.

00:59:20You really

00:59:20should lose

00:59:21some weight,

00:59:21big guy.

00:59:35This is a photo

00:59:37of me from

00:59:38my university

00:59:38days?

00:59:41Damn it.

00:59:43I forgot to

00:59:43hide this

00:59:43incriminative

00:59:44evidence.

00:59:52weren't you

00:59:53so drunk

00:59:53you could

00:59:54barely walk?

00:59:55I was a bit

00:59:56dizzy just

00:59:57now, but

00:59:57seeing this

00:59:58photo, I

01:00:00suddenly sobered

01:00:00up.

01:00:02How do you

01:00:02have a photo

01:00:03of me from

01:00:03my junior

01:00:04year?

01:00:05Back then,

01:00:05you were the

01:00:06star of the

01:00:06Yale football

01:00:07team, and I

01:00:07was just a

01:00:08part-time working

01:00:08student, practically

01:00:09invisible.

01:00:10Because long

01:00:11before that

01:00:12football game, I

01:00:13had already been

01:00:13watching you.

01:00:20Too expensive.

01:00:21That's enough for

01:00:22two months of my

01:00:22living expenses.

01:00:26I knew your

01:00:27family had gone

01:00:28bankrupt, and you

01:00:29were burdened with

01:00:29huge student loans.

01:00:31You could only

01:00:31save every penny to

01:00:32buy those obscure

01:00:33professional books.

01:00:46Back then, you

01:00:48only had eyes for

01:00:49Logan, the one

01:00:50who took you out

01:00:51of the slums.

01:00:52I was afraid of

01:00:53disturbing your

01:00:54happiness, so I

01:00:56could only hide my

01:00:56identity and silently

01:00:58help you in this

01:00:59clumsy way.

01:01:00After graduating

01:01:01from university, I

01:01:02knew you went to

01:01:03Logan's company out

01:01:04of gratitude.

01:01:04I watched you

01:01:05choose a path you

01:01:06didn't like, watched

01:01:07you step back for

01:01:08his ambitions, and

01:01:09grow into the top

01:01:10elite step-by-step.

01:01:12No one knows how

01:01:13much you sacrificed,

01:01:14but I do.

01:01:16I know your heart

01:01:17was just broken by

01:01:17Logan.

01:01:18Five years of youth

01:01:19traded for betrayal.

01:01:24I know you can't

01:01:25fall in love with

01:01:26someone else right

01:01:26away, but I'm

01:01:27willing to wait.

01:01:30As long as you can

01:01:31walk out of that

01:01:31darkness.

01:01:33Even if you treat

01:01:33me as Tiet for

01:01:34Logan, I'm willing.

01:01:37Liam, I'm sorry.

01:01:39I can't agree to

01:01:39that.

01:01:48I can't agree to

01:01:53Liam, I'm sorry.

01:01:54I can't agree to

01:01:55your proposal just

01:01:56now.

01:01:58I was too impatient,

01:01:59Ava.

01:02:00If you feel pressured,

01:02:01we can just be

01:02:02business partners.

01:02:03Long as I can be by

01:02:04your side, I'm willing

01:02:05to do anything.

01:02:07I mean this shit.

01:02:08I don't need you to

01:02:09be anyone, Tietight.

01:02:11Liam, you are you.

01:02:12The one and only

01:02:13bright spot in my life.

01:02:15I'm no longer that

01:02:16humble Steeter.

01:02:18Start a day.

01:02:19We'll Bunida forget

01:02:19someone to Kaishin

01:02:20Nusha.

01:02:22So, does that

01:02:23mean we...

01:02:26Of course.

01:02:28I've always known

01:02:29it was you who

01:02:29silently helped me.

01:02:31But at that age

01:02:32when I couldn't even

01:02:33hold on to my dignity,

01:02:34I couldn't give you

01:02:35any response.

01:02:36Not until I walked

01:02:37into Liberty Financial

01:02:39and met that world

01:02:41whose eyes were full

01:02:42of me once again.

01:02:49I heard that you

01:02:50were at the

01:02:50Vanderbilt Group.

01:02:51You were known

01:02:52as Drink Thousand

01:02:53Bait.

01:02:54Thank you and

01:02:55the bomb Logan

01:02:56recover that bet

01:02:57you dollar in a

01:02:57swinch, you down

01:02:58your health bot shots.

01:03:00If you drink these

01:03:01eight glasses today,

01:03:03this deal goes to

01:03:03Liberty Financial.

01:03:04Yeah, let us witness

01:03:05the drinking capacity

01:03:07of this financial queen.

01:03:10Black, if my partner

01:03:12needs to trade her

01:03:13life for a contract,

01:03:14then this deal

01:03:15isn't worth it.

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

01:03:22Liam, I'm willing

01:03:23to be your girlfriend.

01:03:24From now on,

01:03:25I will love you,

01:03:26cherish you,

01:03:27and protect you.

01:03:28Let's work hard

01:03:28together to build

01:03:29a real home that

01:03:30belongs to us

01:03:31in this cold city.

01:03:32Ava, you're not

01:03:34just saying that

01:03:34to make me happy?

01:03:35I choose to be with

01:03:36you for no complicated

01:03:37reason, simply because

01:03:40I've also been

01:03:41hopelessly in love

01:03:41with you for a long

01:03:42time.

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

01:03:45I feel like all

01:03:45the sunlight in the

01:03:46world has brightened

01:03:47at this moment.

01:04:04See you tomorrow,

01:04:05Ava.

01:04:06Have a pleasant evening.

01:04:07See you tomorrow.

01:04:17Where are you going?

01:04:18Get in the car,

01:04:19I'll give you a ride.

01:04:20Logan, who exactly

01:04:21are you performing

01:04:22these childish tricks

01:04:23for?

01:04:24Ava, I didn't handle

01:04:26things properly back

01:04:27then.

01:04:28I shouldn't have let

01:04:29you take the fall

01:04:29for that damn charge

01:04:30to protect Elena's

01:04:31reputation, forcing

01:04:33you to resign and

01:04:34leave the company.

01:04:34The position of

01:04:35vice president at the

01:04:36Vanderbilt Group, I've

01:04:38kept it for you.

01:04:38The room that belongs

01:04:40to you at home, I've

01:04:41had it cleaned.

01:04:42Just say the word, and

01:04:44you can come back

01:04:45anytime.

01:04:45We can start over.

01:04:48Logan, I'm curious.

01:04:50Who gave you the

01:04:51confidence to think that

01:04:52I would give up my

01:04:53position as a global

01:04:54partner at Liberty

01:04:55Financial to return to

01:04:56your nearly-brankwrapped

01:04:57Vanderbilt Group, just

01:04:59to be a vice-vectresser

01:05:00you can summon and

01:05:01dismiss at will?

01:05:04What are you talking

01:05:05about?

01:05:07And what makes you

01:05:08think that keeping

01:05:10that dark, damp,

01:05:11uninhabitable servant's

01:05:12room in your house

01:05:13for me is some great

01:05:15favor?

01:05:18Logan, stop wasting

01:05:19your time on me.

01:05:20Your persistence only

01:05:21makes me think less

01:05:22of you.

01:05:26Ava, since you have

01:05:28no feelings for me,

01:05:29I've prepared a better

01:05:30gift for you.

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

01:05:33it.

01:05:40This is the place.

01:05:42Who exactly is this

01:05:43mysterious investor?

01:05:49Miss Ava, I presume?

01:05:50This way, please.

01:05:51Your table is ready.

01:05:52Is there a proposal

01:05:53happening here today?

01:05:54Something like that.

01:05:55A gentleman is preparing

01:05:56the most romantic

01:05:57surprise for you.

01:05:58Miss Ava, please take

01:05:59a seat first.

01:06:06So it's Ava that Logan

01:06:07wants to confess to.

01:06:08I'll mix that

01:06:09disfigurating potentation

01:06:10into the red wine.

01:06:11Ava, this is what you

01:06:12get for stealing my man.

01:06:14Ava, you've really

01:06:16come to your end.

01:06:21It's you!

01:06:30So, the mysterious investor

01:06:32who anonymously requested

01:06:33a meeting for cooperation

01:06:34is you.

01:06:35To be precise,

01:06:36it's the who wants to beg

01:06:37on his knees to cooperate.

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

01:06:38Give me five minutes.

01:06:39I said the wrong thing

01:06:40at the summit entrance to noon.

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

01:06:45Just say yes

01:06:46and you'll be the

01:06:47Vanderbilt Group's

01:06:48sole representative

01:06:49in North America.

01:06:50The $50 million mansion

01:06:51in Manhattan,

01:06:52all the trust funds

01:06:53in my name,

01:06:54they'll all have

01:06:54your signature on them.

01:06:55Let's go back

01:06:56to how we were before.

01:06:57Back to when I only

01:06:58had you, okay?

01:07:00Ever since you left,

01:07:01everything has spiraled

01:07:02out of control for me.

01:07:04Why do those difficult

01:07:05shareholders and partners

01:07:06only recognize you?

01:07:08Ava, where are you?

01:07:09Only now do I realize

01:07:11that all my external success

01:07:12was because of you.

01:07:14It was only after the day

01:07:15you left me that I realized

01:07:16just how important

01:07:17you were to me.

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

01:07:21I got used to working

01:07:22late nights with the coffee

01:07:23you brought me,

01:07:24used to you handling

01:07:25all my troubles.

01:07:26Without you,

01:07:27my world is just gray.

01:07:32Ava, I really can't

01:07:33live without you.

01:07:34For God's sake,

01:07:35come back to me.

01:07:36Logan, I've been

01:07:37by your side for so long.

01:07:38Have you ever respected me?

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

01:07:42I admit,

01:07:43I owe you a debt of gratitude.

01:07:44But these past five years,

01:07:46I've already repaid it.

01:07:47You don't need to put on

01:07:48this act of deep affection

01:07:49for the sake of your

01:07:50pathetic possessiveness.

01:07:51Don't be so distant

01:07:52with me, Ava.

01:07:54Let's start over,

01:07:55like before.

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

01:07:57Don't you think

01:07:58you look like a child right now?

01:07:59Ava, listen to me.

01:08:01I'm not angry

01:08:01that you left Vanderbilt

01:08:02five years ago, really.

01:08:03I just think

01:08:04those unpleasant things

01:08:05are in the past now.

01:08:06Since it's all in the past,

01:08:07Chapman Logan,

01:08:08there's no need to lower yourself

01:08:09by bringing up old debts.

01:08:11The current distance

01:08:12is good for both of us.

01:08:13I've already humbled myself

01:08:15and apologized to you.

01:08:16Isn't that enough for you?

01:08:17I don't need your apology

01:08:18and I have no interest

01:08:19playing hard to get with you.

01:08:21You should be more worried

01:08:22about your white moonlight.

01:08:23Won't Elena go crazy

01:08:24if she finds out

01:08:25you came to see me

01:08:25so publicly today?

01:08:27Don't mention her.

01:08:28We've...

01:08:29We've broken up.

01:08:32Ava, you bitch.

01:08:33If it weren't for you

01:08:34setting me up

01:08:35and making me lose

01:08:36my vice president position,

01:08:37if it weren't for you,

01:08:38I would have long secured

01:08:39my place as Mrs. Vanderbilt.

01:08:40Look at what I've been

01:08:41reduced to now.

01:08:42I will make you pay

01:08:43a hundredfold.

01:08:45I've broken up

01:08:46and gotten back together

01:08:46with her countless times

01:08:47this past year

01:08:48and I finally realized

01:08:49she's not the innocent girl

01:08:50I fell in love with

01:08:51at Yale back then.

01:08:52She's like a lunadeck.

01:08:53Every time I neglect her,

01:08:54she tries everything

01:08:54to hurt herself,

01:08:55even resorting to using her body.

01:08:57Such a cheap way

01:08:58to win me back.

01:08:59I'm really tired.

01:09:00Logan, I have zero interest

01:09:01in the low-level

01:09:02love-hate drama

01:09:03between you two.

01:09:04If you ask me out

01:09:04just to vent

01:09:05these emotional grievance,

01:09:06then I'm afraid

01:09:07I must excuse myself.

01:09:08Ava, stop acting

01:09:09like a child.

01:09:10Since we're both single,

01:09:11why don't we give

01:09:12a proper relationship a try?

01:09:13I only used to see her

01:09:14as a substitute,

01:09:15but if I really make her

01:09:16my official girlfriend,

01:09:18a queen of finance like her,

01:09:20she would be overwhelmed

01:09:20with gratitude

01:09:21and accept me.

01:09:23Give me a chance.

01:09:24Be my girlfriend.

01:09:26I'm sorry,

01:09:27Chairman Logan.

01:09:28I have a husband

01:09:29and what he gives me

01:09:30is 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

01:09:39you used to be

01:09:40madly in love with me.

01:09:41How could you possibly

01:09:42love someone else?

01:09:43This must be your way

01:09:43of getting back at me.

01:09:44The ring is fake?

01:09:45Your marriage is fake,

01:09:46right?

01:09:47Logan, your arrogance

01:09:48is as nauseating as ever.

01:09:50Put it there

01:09:51and get out, Ava.

01:09:52Don't think doing something

01:09:53will earn you my love.

01:09:55You're just a well-behaved

01:09:56bitch I keep.

01:09:57Understand?

01:09:58So he always knew.

01:10:00He always knew

01:10:01how much the old Ava

01:10:02loved him,

01:10:02yet he took everything

01:10:03I gave for granted.

01:10:04Just because of that

01:10:05sponsorship back then,

01:10:06he treated me like

01:10:07a lowly slave,

01:10:08summoning and dismissed

01:10:09me at Willie.

01:10:13Alright,

01:10:13I know you're still

01:10:14angry with me.

01:10:16Is it because I made

01:10:17you take the blame

01:10:17for Elena's mistake

01:10:18all those years ago?

01:10:20Or because I made

01:10:21you move out of the villa?

01:10:22I'm not angry with you.

01:10:23It's just that all of that

01:10:25is in the past now.

01:10:26Listen, you can drop

01:10:27the act with that

01:10:27so-called contract boyfriend.

01:10:29I've completely broken

01:10:30things off with Elena.

01:10:31My patience is limited, Ava.

01:10:32Stop making a scene.

01:10:33I can give you

01:10:34a proper title.

01:10:35We can officially

01:10:36be boyfriend and girlfriend.

01:10:37Breaking up?

01:10:38Logan?

01:10:39You wanna dump me

01:10:40for this bitch?

01:10:41If I can't have you,

01:10:43no one will.

01:10:44Logan,

01:10:45take back

01:10:46your cheap charity.

01:10:48I've already told you,

01:10:49I have a husband,

01:10:50and he's 10,000 times

01:10:52better than you.

01:10:53There will never be

01:10:54a place for you

01:10:55in my world again.

01:10:56Tomorrow,

01:10:57I'm leaving New York

01:10:58for Los Angeles.

01:10:59We won't be seeing

01:11:01each other again.

01:11:02Leaving?

01:11:03You can't possibly

01:11:04refuse me.

01:11:05I know it.

01:11:07You must have found

01:11:08another so-called boyfriend

01:11:09to trick me again,

01:11:10just like before.

01:11:24It's you?

01:11:25Ava!

01:11:26You're still trying

01:11:27to seduce my husband?

01:11:28You vicious woman!

01:11:30Won't you be satisfied

01:11:30until you've driven me

01:11:31to my death?

01:11:33Me seducing your husband?

01:11:35What a joke.

01:11:36Everyone,

01:11:37come and look at this bitch.

01:11:38She used to cling to me

01:11:39and my husband

01:11:40like a stubborn piece of gum

01:11:41that wouldn't come off.

01:11:42Later,

01:11:43to climb the ladder,

01:11:44she shamelessly became

01:11:45Logan's secret mistress

01:11:46for five years,

01:11:47stubbornly staying in the villa

01:11:48and refusing to leave

01:11:49no matter what.

01:11:50Now Logan and I

01:11:51are about to get married,

01:11:52and she actually comes back

01:11:54to harass us

01:11:54like a persistent,

01:11:56low-class woman.

01:11:57Do you have any shame left?

01:11:59She looks so well-dressed,

01:12:01actually a professional

01:12:02homewrecker.

01:12:03You really see

01:12:04all kinds of people

01:12:04these days.

01:12:05Women who get ahead

01:12:07through improper means

01:12:08have hearts

01:12:08as black as can be.

01:12:09You all be the judge.

01:12:11It's this woman

01:12:13who stole my

01:12:14vice president position

01:12:15and took everything

01:12:17from me.

01:12:18Now that I'm down and out,

01:12:19she comes back

01:12:20flaunting her designer clothes?

01:12:22Ava,

01:12:22why don't you just die,

01:12:23you evil woman?

01:12:25Let him go.

01:12:38You, you bitch,

01:12:40how dare you hit me?

01:12:41Since you love smearing me

01:12:42with dirt so much,

01:12:43this slap is what you deserve.

01:12:46Say one more word

01:12:47and I'll make you suffer

01:12:49a terrible death.

01:12:52Elena,

01:12:53I don't care what kind

01:12:54of dirty entanglement

01:12:55you still have with Logan,

01:12:57that's your business.

01:12:58Stay away from me

01:12:59from now on.

01:13:01Ava,

01:13:02since you've Aldi

01:13:03rolled out of New York

01:13:04and out of my sight,

01:13:05why do you have to come

01:13:06like a haunting ghost?

01:13:07Elena,

01:13:08don't assume everyone

01:13:09is like you,

01:13:10only capable of

01:13:10clinging to a man.

01:13:11Stop pretending.

01:13:13You came back

01:13:13because you still love Logan

01:13:14and can't let go

01:13:15of his power

01:13:16and influence, right?

01:13:17So now you want to come

01:13:18and humbly be

01:13:19his secret mistress again,

01:13:20just like before,

01:13:21don't you?

01:13:21I won't accept

01:13:22a single word

01:13:23of your slander.

01:13:23I'm here for work.

01:13:25I have my own family

01:13:26and life.

01:13:27As for you, Elena,

01:13:28that pure, selfless

01:13:29and above-worldy

01:13:30desires white moonlight

01:13:31persona you've

01:13:32meticulously built

01:13:33it for five years

01:13:34has completely crumbled

01:13:35to dust in front of Logan.

01:13:37Since you messed

01:13:38it up yourself,

01:13:39you should figure out

01:13:40a way to beg

01:13:41for his forgiveness

01:13:42yourself.

01:13:44Why come to take it

01:13:45out on an innocent me?

01:13:47I have no obligation

01:13:48to help a woman like you

01:13:49keep a man

01:13:50who's changed his heart.

01:13:53You bitch!

01:13:54Shut up!

01:14:03Logan!

01:14:04Why are you so cold to me?

01:14:06You won't even answer

01:14:07my calls?

01:14:08Is it all because

01:14:09of this woman?

01:14:10It's Ava who ruined

01:14:11the future we were

01:14:12supposed to have,

01:14:12isn't it?

01:14:13Elena, wake up.

01:14:14Ava never clung to me.

01:14:16She even finds the thought

01:14:17of seeing me repulsive.

01:14:19Everyone listen up.

01:14:20Elena and I are

01:14:21completely over.

01:14:22So they broke up

01:14:23a long time ago?

01:14:24Then what's this woman

01:14:25doing here pretending

01:14:26to be the rightful wife?

01:14:27No.

01:14:29Impossible.

01:14:30Why?

01:14:31Logan, you loved me

01:14:32so much back at Yale.

01:14:33You were even willing

01:14:34to defy your entire

01:14:34family for me.

01:14:36Why don't you love me

01:14:36anymore?

01:14:37Back then, funding you,

01:14:39even putting you in a high

01:14:41position, perhaps it's all

01:14:43because I too arrogant.

01:14:45Perhaps what I loved before

01:14:46was just an illusion.

01:14:48A shadow I thought was real.

01:14:51After leaving Ava,

01:14:52during countless

01:14:53sleepless nights,

01:14:55I realized that

01:14:56I truly love is actually...

01:15:00Logan, you can't leave.

01:15:01You can't just kick me out

01:15:02like this.

01:15:03Get out of my sight

01:15:04immediately.

01:15:04Otherwise, I won't mind

01:15:05making you disappear

01:15:06from all of New York.

01:15:07Security, drag this crazy

01:15:08woman out.

01:15:08No, Logan!

01:15:09Ava, you bitch!

01:15:10I won't let you get away

01:15:11with this.

01:15:12I am the only one fit

01:15:13to be Mrs. Vanderbilt!

01:15:14Ava, I'm sorry.

01:15:17Logan, we're even now.

01:15:18There's no one who owes

01:15:19anyone an apology.

01:15:20No, Ava.

01:15:22I want to tell you,

01:15:23I love you.

01:15:25It wasn't until you

01:15:26disappeared from my sight

01:15:27that I realized you're

01:15:28the one I love most

01:15:29in this life.

01:15:30Really?

01:15:31Back then, you liked Elena.

01:15:33You always took my efforts

01:15:34for granted,

01:15:35treated me like your slave.

01:15:36It's only now,

01:15:37after you've been together

01:15:38and grown tired

01:15:39of her despicable tricks,

01:15:40that you remember

01:15:41my good points.

01:15:41That's not true!

01:15:42Ava, it wasn't until

01:15:43I officially dated her

01:15:45that I realized

01:15:45how good you are.

01:15:47I started thinking

01:15:47about you like crazy,

01:15:49remembering every late night

01:15:50you stayed up with me,

01:15:51remembering that only you

01:15:52understood my ambitions.

01:15:54I couldn't see my own

01:15:55heart clearly before.

01:15:56It wasn't until I lost you

01:15:57that I understood

01:15:57the one I truly love

01:15:59is you.

01:15:59Ava, let's start over.

01:16:00Give us a real try, okay?

01:16:03Logan, I'm telling you

01:16:04for the last time,

01:16:05I'm already married.

01:16:09Married?

01:16:10Ava, you must be

01:16:11lying to me.

01:16:11Just like when you

01:16:12found a fake boyfriend

01:16:13in college to make me

01:16:14jealous, right?

01:16:15You must still have

01:16:16feelings for me.

01:16:17Otherwise, why would

01:16:18you go through all this

01:16:19trouble to make up

01:16:19such an absurd lie

01:16:20to deceive me?

01:16:23Logan, if you lay

01:16:24another hand on my wife,

01:16:25don't blame me

01:16:26for being polite.

01:16:27Let me introduce you.

01:16:28This is my husband,

01:16:29Liam, the global chairman

01:16:31of Liberty Financial.

01:16:33Husband, Liam,

01:16:36this can't be.

01:16:37How could this happen?

01:16:39Honey, this is

01:16:39Mr. Logan,

01:16:40the benefactor I mentioned

01:16:41before who supported

01:16:42me at Yale University

01:16:43and also my former friend.

01:16:45Mr. Logan,

01:16:46I've heard so much

01:16:47about you.

01:16:47My wife mentions you often.

01:16:52Enough!

01:16:53Ava, you're quite

01:16:54the actress.

01:16:55To make me give up

01:16:56completely, you even

01:16:57hired a stand-in,

01:16:58didn't you?

01:16:59Stop lying to me!

01:17:00You can only marry me!

01:17:02How could you marry

01:17:02someone else?

01:17:03Logan, I really want

01:17:04to thank you for your

01:17:05past support of Ava.

01:17:06Without your generosity

01:17:08back then, I wouldn't

01:17:09have had the chance

01:17:09to meet such a perfect wife.

01:17:11If the Vanderbilt group

01:17:12ever needs anything

01:17:13from me in the future,

01:17:14I'll be your service

01:17:15as a way for my wife

01:17:16to repay your kindness.

01:17:18Logan, although I'm

01:17:19grateful for your support,

01:17:20it's really getting late.

01:17:22We have to catch our

01:17:22private jet back to

01:17:23Harbor City tomorrow,

01:17:24so we won't keep you

01:17:25any longer.

01:17:27Honey, let's go.

01:17:29Ava, are you really

01:17:30leaving tomorrow?

01:17:32Are you really going

01:17:33to leave my world

01:17:34completely?

01:17:35Yes.

01:17:36Goodbye, Mr. Logan.

01:17:38Bye, Mr. Logan.

01:17:41Bye, Mr. Logan.

01:17:48Bye, 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 going to get you breakfast.

01:18:22So diligent?

01:18:24Didn't you keep saying yesterday how much you liked the burgers here?

01:18:27Today'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. Come 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,

01:20:17summoning her at will and dismissing her just as easily.

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.

01:20:29The 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-batter 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,

01:21:19we 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.

01:21:44She 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,

01:22:16and 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, Carter.

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,

01:22:54none 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.

01:23:23No, 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!

01:23:30Don't go!

01:23:31Ava!

01:23:32Young man,

01:23:33you've got some nerve blocking my car.

01:23:35But you are quite a looker.

01:23:36I just got rid of my last boy toy, you know.

01:23:39If you behave,

01:23:39I 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,

01:24:43my 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.

01:25:18What?

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

01:25:24that 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?

01:25:36Impossible.

01:25:37Absolutely impossible.

01:25:39That man who just seemed to buy breakfast

01:25:40and take care of kids for Ava

01:25:41is 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 dollars.

01:25:50What the hell have I done?

01:26:01What the hell have I done?

01:26:06Elena,

01:26:07if that loser Logan knew

01:26:08you were keeping a man in his marital bed,

01:26:10wouldn't he go crazy on the spot?

01:26:14He's busy dealing with the FBI's

01:26:16bankruptcy investigation right now.

01:26:17How could he have the time to care about me?

01:26:19You're really ruthless.

01:26:20You emptied his overseas accounts,

01:26:23brought down his Vanderbilt group,

01:26:24and yet you secured

01:26:25a 50 million dollar 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

01:26:33and 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!

01:26:44I was truly blind back then

01:26:46to have abandoned Ava

01:26:48for someone like you.

01:26:51Logan,

01:26:52have you lost your mind?

01:26:54I just brought a friend back

01:26:55to have some fun.

01:26:56Is it worth getting so worked up over?

01:26:58You're my fiancé!

01:26:59You're using my money

01:27:00to 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's a broke,

01:27:16debt-rended bankrupt up now.

01:27:17There's no need for us

01:27:17to 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

01:27:24transfer the money out.

01:27:25He's my true love now,

01:27:27your 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

01:27:37as 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

01:27:45and be vice president.

01:27:47For you,

01:27:47Ava left.

01:27:48My company is gone.

01:27:49How could you do this to me?

01:27:51That's because you were willing

01:27:52to 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

01:27:59to tell me what to do?

01:28:00Black, let'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

01:28:07my queen well today.

01:28:09Stop!

01:28:10Give back all the money

01:28:11you swindled from me.

01:28:12Every single cent

01:28:13I ever spent on you.

01:28:15Dream on.

01:28:16That's the compensation

01:28:17you owe me for my youth.

01:28:18Get lost.

01:28:19Ava, I was wrong.

01:28:21It turns out you were

01:28:22the only one in this world

01:28:22who truly cared for me

01:28:23and I lost the woman

01:28:24who loved me most in life.

01:28:26Elena,

01:28:27you ruined me.

01:28:29And I swear

01:28:30I won't let you get away with it.

01:28:43Ava,

01:28:44I just received news

01:28:45from Hei Cheng.

01:28:45The Vanderbilt Group

01:28:46has been completely liquidated

01:28:48due to the failure

01:28:48of several fatal gambling agreements,

01:28:50plus the major engineering accident

01:28:52caused by the batch

01:28:52of construction equipment

01:28:53Elena was responsible for.

01:28:55Hmm.

01:28:56Aren't you the least bit curious?

01:28:58Without you,

01:28:59the anchor that held

01:29:00everything together,

01:29:01that empire once hailed

01:29:03as unsinkable

01:29:03has collapsed so quickly.

01:29:05It's not surprising at all.

01:29:07From the moment

01:29:08I walked out of that office,

01:29:10Logan and his company

01:29:11have been nothing

01:29:11but a moldy old debt

01:29:12in my life.

01:29:13If it's trash,

01:29:14it's only a matter of time

01:29:16before it gets cleaned up.

01:29:17There's something

01:29:18even more interesting.

01:29:19Logan,

01:29:20driven by extreme hatred

01:29:21because Elena

01:29:22took his last life string

01:29:23and publicly humiliated him,

01:29:25killed Elena

01:29:25on the streets of Manhattan.

01:29:27He's facing

01:29:28the most severe charges.

01:29:32He has only himself

01:29:33to blame for falling

01:29:34to the state

01:29:34for loving a poison

01:29:35he shouldn't have.

01:29:36But the people

01:29:37and things in that ruin

01:29:38have nothing to do

01:29:39with me anymore.

01:29:40All I want now

01:29:41is to build our life well.

01:29:42Right.

01:29:45But tonight,

01:29:46we have an important topic

01:29:48to discuss.

01:29:50I haven't heard

01:29:51about any meeting tonight.

01:29:52The topic I'm talking about

01:29:54is how many lively

01:29:55and adorable little babies

01:29:57we're going to have.

01:29:57I don't know.

01:29:59I don't know.
