00:00:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our guest of honor today, Miss Lila Bennett.
00:00:05The Hale family jumped to become the top in Boston.
00:00:07The young Mrs. Hale is so enviable.
00:00:10What can you do? She's just lucky.
00:00:12A single marriage contract, and she married a total cat.
00:00:14Let's raise our glasses together.
00:00:23Scarlett? What are you doing here?
00:00:32Don't move!
00:00:34What are you doing? We're sisters!
00:00:36You're the person I've hated my whole life.
00:00:39Why do you get to marry into a rich family and live a life of luxury,
00:00:43while I'm stuck rotting in the dirt with some broke loser forever?
00:00:46You chose this life for yourself, didn't you?
00:00:51Two engagements, same wedding day.
00:00:54Just because I picked the wrong bouquet color,
00:00:56I deserve to be trampled on by you and be worse than you at everything?
00:01:00Scarlett, marrying into the Hale family isn't as easy as you think.
00:01:03You were the Hale family's young mistress your whole life.
00:01:05Everyone saw how glamorous you were.
00:01:07Do you really think I'd buy this crap now?
00:01:12Even if we both die?
00:01:14I'm not letting you go!
00:01:20Maybe dying like this is a relief.
00:01:22I just hope in my next life, I won't be a pawn for others to manipulate.
00:01:27I just want a simple, quiet life.
00:01:37I thought I was dead.
00:01:39I'm reborn.
00:01:40I'm back to my wedding day five years ago.
00:01:43Sis, I changed my mind.
00:01:44Can we swap bouquets?
00:01:46Since God gave me a second chance,
00:01:47I'm the one who's going to marry into the Hale family and be adored by everyone this time.
00:01:51Scarlett actually wants to swap bouquets.
00:01:53That means I won't be the one trapped in that hell, powerless this time.
00:01:58The Hale and Carter families are here to pick up the bride,
00:02:00and they only recognize these the most.
00:02:02So who you end up marrying is all up to fate.
00:02:05Okay.
00:02:05Scarlett, you have no idea that the Hale family you're so desperate for is a living hell.
00:02:09Money, status, power, they'll all be mine, Lila.
00:02:12You're going to lose this time.
00:02:14Our Scarlett is so beautiful.
00:02:15She's the center of attention just standing here.
00:02:17Unlike some people, even the most expensive dress can't hide that trashy vibe.
00:02:20Scarlett's so polite and well-mannered.
00:02:21She'll be the perfect example of a Boston socialite after she's married.
00:02:23As for you, watch your mouth and behavior at your husband's house.
00:02:25Don't embarrass our family.
00:02:26Dad, sis has always been so sensible.
00:02:27I'm bored she'll have no complaints,
00:02:28matter who she marries or what kind of life she lives.
00:02:30Isn't that right, sis?
00:02:32That's Julian Harrell, son of the wealthy Hale family in Boston.
00:02:35So you're my bride.
00:02:37You look stunning.
00:02:39Thank God Scarlett is marrying into the Hale family.
00:02:42Amen.
00:02:42Thank the Lord.
00:02:44My Scarlett will be well taken care of for the rest of her life.
00:02:47Let's go.
00:02:48Wait.
00:02:48I can't bear to leave my sister.
00:02:50I'll only feel it easy once her ride gets here.
00:02:52All right.
00:02:52Anything for you, baby.
00:02:54Leela, there's no way I'm missing the most humiliating moment of your life.
00:02:57In my last life, I was picked up by the Hale family,
00:02:59so I never knew what happened after.
00:03:01I only heard Scarlett was furious and cried,
00:03:03begging to call off the wedding.
00:03:06This is my husband for this life?
00:03:10No wonder you're so late when the lucky hour is almost up.
00:03:13Guess a bike with two wheels just can't go very fast.
00:03:18How can the Carter family be so rude and disrespectful?
00:03:22They just moved from the country.
00:03:23Of course they're uncivilized.
00:03:25It wasn't for to my late husband made.
00:03:27They wouldn't be allowed through the gates of our Bennett mansion.
00:03:30It seems the Bennett family isn't happy with this marriage either.
00:03:33Maybe we should just call it off.
00:03:36We can't do that.
00:03:40Scarlett, honey, looking at the Carter family like this,
00:03:43they dead in dirt poor.
00:03:44Marrying into it like gluing ourselves to a piece of gum,
00:03:46we can't allow it.
00:03:47Exactly.
00:03:48They're the ones offering to call it off.
00:03:49We should just...
00:03:50The whole city of Boston knows the Bennett family
00:03:52has two engagements with the Hale and Carter families.
00:03:55If we back out now, what will everyone think of us?
00:03:58Besides, Leela's the one marrying into them.
00:04:01Sacrificing her to keep the Bennett family's good name
00:04:04is the least she can do.
00:04:07Sis, the Bennett family always keeps its word.
00:04:10You should just accept it.
00:04:11Too bad you're going to be stuck living a hard life
00:04:14for the rest of your days.
00:04:15I don't care.
00:04:17How dare she act so tough even now?
00:04:20This is interesting.
00:04:23I'm only here to pick up the bride as promised.
00:04:26Whether you want to come me or not,
00:04:28that's your decision to make.
00:04:29Don't worry about calling off the wedding.
00:04:31I'll explain everything to my parents,
00:04:32tell them it was my choice to back out.
00:04:34It won't hurt the Bennett family's reputation,
00:04:36and it won't hurt yours.
00:04:38Marriage decide by parents and match hers.
00:04:40You can't just refuse to marry her.
00:04:43I'm here here to marry the olders of Bennett.
00:04:45You jumping in and yelling for secondness.
00:04:49You have...
00:04:50Miss Bennett, what do you say?
00:04:56I will marry you.
00:04:59You've seen what I have.
00:05:00Are you really sure about this?
00:05:03My grandfather arranged this,
00:05:04so there must be a reason.
00:05:06No matter who showed up here today,
00:05:07I would go with them.
00:05:08The Bennett family may not be the top in Boston,
00:05:11but they're still a wealthy family.
00:05:12Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?
00:05:14A rich young lady marrying someone like me?
00:05:16In my last life,
00:05:17the Hale family used me as a pawn
00:05:19to chase fame and fortune.
00:05:20Everyone saw the glamorous surface,
00:05:22but no one knew what a joke I really was,
00:05:24behind closed doors.
00:05:26Why should I care what other people think about my life?
00:05:29Money might be everything to some people,
00:05:30but not to me.
00:05:31I just want a simple, quiet, stable life
00:05:34for the rest of my days.
00:05:35Such a hypocrite.
00:05:36You're just bitter because you can't have what I have.
00:05:38Miss Bennett,
00:05:39you don't have to say all that just to save face.
00:05:41Now that I've married Scarlet,
00:05:42we're family.
00:05:43A beautiful woman like you marrying this guy?
00:05:45It's like a flower growing out of a pile of more.
00:05:47Tell you what,
00:05:47I'll introduce you to some rich young men sometime.
00:05:49With your looks,
00:05:51you could have any of them
00:05:52wrapped around your finger in no time.
00:05:53No need.
00:05:54I choose to marry into the Carter family,
00:05:56and I will never regret it
00:05:57for richer or poorer in sickness and in health.
00:06:00All right, let's go home.
00:06:02Wait a second.
00:06:03What, already regretting it?
00:06:05Everyone heard what you just said.
00:06:07Even if you don't want to marry him now,
00:06:09you have to...
00:06:12Let's go.
00:06:14Let's go.
00:06:15Hold on tight.
00:06:24Lila's married to him just like I wanted,
00:06:26so why do I still feel this bitter?
00:06:28At least she has the decency
00:06:30not to make a fool of herself
00:06:31and embarrass the family.
00:06:32Whatever.
00:06:33I got what I wanted.
00:06:34The Carter family is broke.
00:06:35Lila's definitely gonna have a terrible life
00:06:37married into them.
00:06:38Riding a beat-up bike
00:06:39and still trying to steal my spotlight.
00:06:41What's he got that I don't,
00:06:41besides a pretty face?
00:06:42Baby, once you marry me,
00:06:43you just sit back and be my trophy wife.
00:06:45Everyone in Boston is gonna envy you.
00:06:47Mr. Bennett, we're family now.
00:06:48We've gotta look out for each other
00:06:49here in Boston, right?
00:06:50Absolutely, absolutely.
00:06:51Heard the Carter family,
00:06:52the one that's been expanding overseas,
00:06:53just moved back to Boston.
00:06:54Things are about to change around here.
00:06:56The Carter family?
00:06:57The top five global conglomerate Carter family?
00:06:59That kind of power could shake the whole city
00:07:01with just one step.
00:07:02That's right.
00:07:03The Hale family's been pulling every string we have
00:07:05to get in touch with them.
00:07:06Once we land a partnership with them,
00:07:07the Hale family's gonna be on top.
00:07:09A partnership with the Carter family
00:07:10won't just put you on top.
00:07:12It'll make you the richest family in Boston.
00:07:14I definitely made the right choice.
00:07:16I'm the one who's gonna win this time.
00:07:21Come on, let's go home.
00:07:22You live here?
00:07:28Nope, it's that one over there.
00:07:30I work here as a security guard.
00:07:32The owner of the estate was nice enough
00:07:34to let me live in the cottage next to it.
00:07:36If you're disappointed, you can still run.
00:07:39I think it's perfect.
00:07:41And the things we don't have,
00:07:42we can work hard to earn together.
00:07:44We've got our whole lives ahead of us.
00:07:46Who knows what the future holds?
00:07:49Is she really this okay with it?
00:07:50Or is she just putting on an act for me?
00:07:52Come on, let's go see our home.
00:07:55I'll just keep an eye on her for now.
00:07:56I'll find out sooner or later if this is real or fake.
00:08:02Chase Miller did a good job setting this up in a day.
00:08:05I'll give him a raise later.
00:08:06I love it here.
00:08:07We can put a bouquet of flowers right here.
00:08:09When the morning sun hits it,
00:08:11just looking at it will make my day.
00:08:12We can put a fish tank over here
00:08:14with some goldfish,
00:08:15or even tropical fish would be nice.
00:08:17And over here we can put a rocking chair,
00:08:19perfect for afternoon naps.
00:08:20I thought rich young girls like you
00:08:22were all spoiled and couldn't handle a hard life.
00:08:24I'm surprised you're taking this so well.
00:08:26When I was little, I had bad health,
00:08:28so I was sent to the countryside
00:08:29to live with my grandfather to recover.
00:08:31The conditions were rough,
00:08:33but we were so happy there.
00:08:35That was the best, happiest time of my life.
00:08:37After my grandfather passed away,
00:08:39I was brought back to the Bennett family.
00:08:41Compared to my sister who grew up there,
00:08:43I always felt like an outsider.
00:08:45But that's all in the past.
00:08:47From today on, it's a brand new life.
00:08:49With you?
00:08:52Where's my daughter-in-law?
00:08:54Let me have a look at her.
00:09:01Mom, why did you come dressed like this?
00:09:03We agreed we were going to hide
00:09:04our real identities first.
00:09:05This is the most low-key outfit I could think of.
00:09:08This is my mom.
00:09:09Don't mind all the flashy stuff.
00:09:10It's all fake.
00:09:11Wow, even the fakes look better than the real thing.
00:09:13That's amazing taste, Mrs. Carter.
00:09:16Oh, what a sweet talker.
00:09:18I love her already.
00:09:19Though why are you still calling me Mrs. Carter?
00:09:21Mom.
00:09:22I approve of this daughter-in-law.
00:09:23Now you better hurry up.
00:09:25I'm waiting for my first grandbaby.
00:09:31Sis, there's a banquet at the Marriott Hell tomorrow.
00:09:34The legendary Mr. Carter will be there.
00:09:36You have to come.
00:09:37I'm supposed to be there?
00:09:39And I didn't even know that?
00:09:41What'd you say?
00:09:42Nothing.
00:09:43Knowing Scarlet, this invitation is definitely a trap.
00:09:45You shouldn't go.
00:09:47If I don't go this time, there'll be a next time and the time after that.
00:09:51She won't stop until she gets what she wants.
00:09:54Then I'll come with you.
00:09:56It's fine.
00:09:57I can handle it myself.
00:10:00This is a family heirloom ring from the Carter family.
00:10:03It matches the one I'm wearing.
00:10:05It's not worth much, but it means a lot to me.
00:10:10I hope you don't think it's too plain.
00:10:14It's beautiful.
00:10:23Marriott Hotel is the first property the Carter family invested in after moving back to the States.
00:10:27All these big balls are here just to get a meeting with Mr. Carter.
00:10:31But Mr. Carter keeps such a low profile, the chances of actually seeing him are slim to none.
00:10:39Leela Bennett, you actually had the nerve to show up here?
00:10:44Sis, what are you wearing?
00:10:45This is the biggest Merritt Hotel in Boston, not the grocery store down the street.
00:10:48Miss Bennett, that 999 cheap dress is such a waste of that amazing body.
00:10:51If you'd listened to me before, you wouldn't be in this mess.
00:10:53Though, even married, you're still a gorgeous woman.
00:10:56I know plenty of guys who love that.
00:10:58Have some respect, Mr. Howell.
00:10:59What the hell are you yelling about?
00:11:01Leela Bennett, look at who you are and look at who we are.
00:11:03The only thing you're good for here is pouring drinks.
00:11:05You invited me here.
00:11:06If you don't have anything else to say, I'll be leaving.
00:11:09If she leaves, what's the point of all this?
00:11:12I was going to humiliate her.
00:11:13Sis, you're already here.
00:11:15Why rush off?
00:11:16Come on, let me introduce you.
00:11:17These are my husband's business partners.
00:11:18Mr. Zhao from Prosperity Group, Mr. Gi from Brightview Group, and Mr. Tang from Pioneer Group.
00:11:22Ms. Bennett, here to set us up with another deal?
00:11:23Everyone here is rich and powerful.
00:11:25It never hurts to make more friends.
00:11:26Sis, we haven't heard about your husband yet.
00:11:27What's his name?
00:11:28Which group is he the CEO of?
00:11:30His name is Ethan Carter.
00:11:35Ethan Carter?
00:11:36That's the name of Mr. Carter from Carter Global Holdings.
00:11:40What?
00:11:43That's impossible.
00:11:44Your husband can't be Mr. Carter from Carter Global Holdings?
00:11:48A guy who showed up to his wedding on a bicycle?
00:11:50The ruthless, powerful Mr. Carter that runs the global business world?
00:11:54No way.
00:11:55I don't know any Mr. Carter from a big group.
00:11:57My husband, Ethan Carter, is just an ordinary security king.
00:12:00A security guard?
00:12:02So it's just the same name.
00:12:03Trying to ride on his coat whales like this?
00:12:05If the real Mr. Carter finds out, he'll think it's bad luck.
00:12:07How unprofessional of the Marriott Hotel letting a security guard's wife in here.
00:12:11Do they look down on us?
00:12:12If Mr. Carter actually shows up, he'll feel disrespected.
00:12:15Mr. Carter, I won't let anyone ruin it.
00:12:17I don't even have to do anything.
00:12:19These people will tear her apart.
00:12:20In a place like this, no money, no power, you're nothing.
00:12:24I'm sorry for disturbing you.
00:12:26I'll leave now.
00:12:27Miss Bennett, you look so innocent.
00:12:29But who knew you'd sneak in here looking for a sugar daddy?
00:12:32Is all the dirty money you make going to your broke, loser husband?
00:12:34Stop spreading lies about me.
00:12:36I didn't do any of that.
00:12:37Then why did a trash like you sneak in here?
00:12:40To ruin the party and mess up everyone's partnership with Mr. Carter?
00:12:55What are you doing sitting on the floor, sis?
00:12:57Isn't it cold?
00:12:59Scarlet, you married the man you wanted.
00:13:02You have the life you wanted.
00:13:04Why can't you just leave me alone?
00:13:07Because you have no idea how much I hate you.
00:13:09I hate that you don't even have to try.
00:13:12And every guy's eyes are on you.
00:13:14I hate that every time we go to an event together, you outshine me without even trying.
00:13:19And I hate that even when you're flat on your face in the dirt, you still look down on me
00:13:23with those stuck-up eyes.
00:13:25You've already lost me in this life.
00:13:27Now, I just want to see you on your knees, begging me for mercy like a pathetic little dog.
00:13:32Money isn't everything, Scarlet.
00:13:34You're being naive.
00:13:36Besides, the Hale family...
00:13:37The Hale family is top five in Boston.
00:13:39Countless women would kill to be in my position as the young mistress of the Hale family.
00:13:43Once we meet Mr. Carter and get a partnership, the Hale family will be the richest in Boston.
00:13:52What's with all the noise?
00:13:54What's going on here?
00:13:56She snuck into the banquet trying to ruin everyone's partnership with Mr. Carter.
00:14:01Mr. Cheng, you can't let her get away with this.
00:14:09I'm investing in the Marriott Hotel.
00:14:12That wing is identical to the one Mr. Carter wears.
00:14:15Could it be...
00:14:16Madam Carter!
00:14:17Isn't your boss Mr. Carter from Carter Global Holdings?
00:14:20Why are you calling her Madam Carter?
00:14:23Does that mean your husband is actually Ethan Carter, the CEO of Carter Global Hidings?
00:14:32That can't be right.
00:14:33Her husband is just a security guard who watches the gate.
00:14:36She said it herself just now.
00:14:38You have the wrong person.
00:14:40I'm not Madam Carter.
00:14:42I only got a quick glance last time.
00:14:44Did I really get it wrong?
00:14:45If she was really Madam Carter, she wouldn't be wearing this raggedy stuff.
00:14:48I must have been mistaken.
00:14:49My apologies.
00:14:50Excuse me.
00:14:52Yes, sir.
00:14:53I understand.
00:14:57That ring design is so rare, I couldn't have misremembered it.
00:15:01I should check with Mr. Carter to be sure.
00:15:03If it really is her, I'll be fired for this.
00:15:06What are you doing here dressed like this?
00:15:07Have you no shame?
00:15:09You married a poor boy, so keep your head down and live a quiet life.
00:15:12You shouldn't be coming to events like this anymore.
00:15:14Look at you.
00:15:15You don't belong here.
00:15:16Don't tell me you came here to beg us for money.
00:15:18Let me make this clear.
00:15:20Once a daughter is married, she's like water poured out.
00:15:23Even if you can't make ends meet, don't expect the Bennett family to give you a single cent.
00:15:27That's right.
00:15:28Not a single cent.
00:15:29Both of you are Bennett girls, but Scarlett married well and brought honor to our family.
00:15:34And you?
00:15:35You're a useless waste of space who can't do anything right.
00:15:40Don't think just because you married into the Hale Mamley and became the young
00:15:43mistress, you can look down on us.
00:15:46You're just a gold-digging social climber.
00:15:49You're nothing compared to my Scarlett.
00:15:53When I married into the Hale family, I was a gold dister.
00:15:56When Scarlett marries into the Hale family, she's bringing honor to the family.
00:16:00It wasn't the choice I made that was wrong.
00:16:03It was that I trusted the wrong people.
00:16:09Mr. Carter, I saw someone at the Marriott Hotel wearing a ring just like yours.
00:16:13I was wondering...
00:16:14Is she okay?
00:16:15It looks like she's in a fight with some people.
00:16:17Okay, I'll be right there.
00:16:19My workaholic son finally has his head turned by a girl.
00:16:23They're so sweet together.
00:16:25Looks like I'll be getting that grandbaby sooner than I thought.
00:16:31I know nothing I do will ever be good enough for you.
00:16:33You're just a failure.
00:16:35And now you're blaming us?
00:16:36You ungrateful little brat.
00:16:38I'll leave now.
00:16:39I won't be in your way anymore.
00:16:44Let go of me.
00:16:45Not so fast.
00:16:49My ring?
00:16:50Where's my ring?
00:16:55There it is.
00:17:03Is this your wedding ring?
00:17:04It's so pathetic.
00:17:06Give it back to me.
00:17:15My husband got me a five-catter diamond for my wedding ring.
00:17:18This tiny, plain thing of yours isn't even worth a fraction of mine.
00:17:23You used to be the eldest, Miss Bennett.
00:17:25Now you're like this.
00:17:26It's hard not to feel bad for you.
00:17:29I know a way you can make some easy money.
00:17:31Want to hear it, Miss Bennett?
00:17:35I've got a lot of friends in the business world.
00:17:38I can bring you along to our meetings.
00:17:40All you have to do is chat and have a few drinks.
00:17:42For every deal we close, I'll give you ten grand.
00:17:47You want a drink?
00:17:48You looking down on me?
00:17:51We shall see.
00:17:54Come on.
00:17:55Come on now, Mr. Wu.
00:17:56It's an honor for her to have a drink with you.
00:18:04No matter how many times I come back,
00:18:07a scumbag is always a scumbag.
00:18:10I don't even think about it.
00:18:13You ungrateful bitch.
00:18:16Give it back to me right now.
00:18:19What's the big deal about this stupid ring?
00:18:21Is this the most valuable thing you own?
00:18:24Whether it's valuable or not,
00:18:25it's mine.
00:18:26And I love it.
00:18:31If you love it so much,
00:18:33go get it yourself.
00:18:38Thank God it's not lost.
00:19:02What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:19:14It means so much to you.
00:19:16I have to protect it.
00:19:20For a little security guard,
00:19:22you sure dress nice.
00:19:22How much did it cost to rent that suit?
00:19:25What I wear is none of your business.
00:19:27Because you're not qualified to judge me.
00:19:29You're just a damn guard dog.
00:19:31Who do you think you're barking at?
00:19:33Ah, shit, that hurts.
00:19:35Ah, shit, that hurts.
00:19:35Let go of me.
00:19:36Let go of my husband right now.
00:19:38He's the young master of the Hill family.
00:19:40If you hurt a single hair on his head,
00:19:41the Hill family will break your legs.
00:19:43If I didn't have a rule against hitting women,
00:19:45do you think you'd get away with this?
00:19:47It's just your dog, man.
00:19:48This poor scene comes over.
00:19:50Ethan, the Hill family is powerful.
00:19:52I'm scared they'll hurt you.
00:19:53Let them try.
00:19:56Fine.
00:19:57I don't want to worry, Lila.
00:20:01You ungrateful daughter.
00:20:02This is the good husband you married,
00:20:04attacking Mr. Hale?
00:20:05Have you lost your mind?
00:20:06Mr. Bennett, Scarlet pushed her first,
00:20:08then Julian provoked her first.
00:20:10Yet you're blaming Lila?
00:20:11Don't you think you're being a little biased?
00:20:12You have no right to speak here.
00:20:14Who do you think you are compared to Mr. Hale?
00:20:16Why would we side with the security guard
00:20:18over the young master of the Hale family?
00:20:20Fine.
00:20:22Then I'll protect what's mine.
00:20:24Now!
00:20:33What's going on?
00:20:34He's just a security guard.
00:20:36How can he have this many men with him?
00:20:38What if it's not a coincidence?
00:20:39What if he really is Mr. Carter?
00:20:41He's a security guard,
00:20:42so it's normal for him to have some security guard friends.
00:20:44These guys are definitely just actors he hired to put on a show.
00:20:47Oh, so he's just bluffing.
00:20:49Lila, looks like your husband isn't just broke.
00:20:51He's a liar, too.
00:20:53You're all a bunch of idiots.
00:20:54Before my son-in-law gets angry, you better call these men off.
00:20:57You won't be able to handle the consequences if this gets out of hand.
00:21:01Ethan, maybe we should just let it go.
00:21:03Don't be scared.
00:21:04We didn't do anything wrong.
00:21:05I don't believe there's no justice in Boston.
00:21:09How can you be so naive?
00:21:10Justice means nothing next to money and power.
00:21:12Of course you wouldn't know that, you little country bumpet who slops pig slop for a living.
00:21:16One meal I buy costs more than your monthly salary.
00:21:18One shirt I own costs more than you'll make in your entire life.
00:21:20What makes you think we're the same?
00:21:21Grand-nephew, hurry up and get rid of these people.
00:21:23They're blocking the way.
00:21:24Didn't you say you know the vice president here?
00:21:25Tell her to kick these people out right now.
00:21:27If Mr. Carter sees this, we'll all be in trouble.
00:21:28I already texted her.
00:21:29She's on her way here.
00:21:29You two have no idea.
00:21:30The vice president of the Marriott is my aunt.
00:21:32Today, not even God can save you from what's coming to you.
00:21:34Who dares to bully my nephew?
00:21:44You've got a pretty face.
00:21:46Such a shame you're blind as a bat.
00:21:51What's everyone crowding around here for?
00:21:54Aunt, these guys just here for show.
00:21:56Brought by that lousy security guard.
00:21:59Tell them to get the hell out of here right now.
00:22:01You think the Marriott's a pusover?
00:22:03We can crush you like bugs.
00:22:05Tell them to leave first.
00:22:06Violence won't fix this.
00:22:07Besides, this is my mess.
00:22:09I can't drag you into it.
00:22:11Even at a time like this, she's still worried about me.
00:22:14Okay.
00:22:18All that tough talk for nothing.
00:22:21A toad can hop all it wants.
00:22:23It's still just a low-life rat.
00:22:25Aunt, they caused a huge scene here.
00:22:27We can't just let them off the hook.
00:22:29Relax.
00:22:30If I let people cause trouble on my turf without teaching them a lesson,
00:22:33what's the point of being vice president?
00:22:35I only know Derek Chang is the general manager of the Marriott.
00:22:38Never heard of a vice president.
00:22:40Besides, with a brainless idiot like you, do you even deserve that seat?
00:22:44How dare you call me an idiot?
00:22:46And you have no right to say my husband's name like that!
00:22:48Oh, so she's only here through nephetism.
00:22:51Aunt, calm down.
00:22:52This kid's all bark and no bite.
00:22:54My nephew says you're a gatekeeper for a living.
00:22:56All right, here's the deal.
00:22:57You get on your knees, crawl three laps around this room,
00:23:01bark like a dog while you do it,
00:23:02then eat this entire bowl of dog food.
00:23:06And I'll let you both walk away.
00:23:14Mr. Chang, here's last month's report for you to review.
00:23:17Just leave it there.
00:23:19Mr. Chang, I was in the ballroom just now, and I think I saw the young Mrs. Carter.
00:23:23Which young Mrs. Carter?
00:23:25From the Carter family, the majority shareholder of the Marriott.
00:23:31Does that mean Mr. Carter is here too?
00:23:33Only the young Mrs. Carter is here.
00:23:36But I think Mr. Carter will be here soon.
00:23:39What are you standing around for?
00:23:41Let's go greet him right now.
00:23:42There's one more thing.
00:23:43It looks like the young Mrs. Carter got into a fight with the Hale family.
00:23:45Before I came up, I saw your wife had arrived too.
00:23:47She's here too?
00:23:48That brainless woman is going to get me killed!
00:23:52The vice president throwing her weight around like this?
00:23:55Maybe the Carter family needs to reconsider our investment in the Marriott.
00:23:59How dare you!
00:24:01Who do you think you are to weigh in on the Carter family's decisions?
00:24:05If you want to get yourself killed, don't drag the Bennett family down with you.
00:24:09Once Lila married into the Carter family, she's their problem.
00:24:11From now on, the Bennett family and the Carter family go our separate ways.
00:24:14Don't you dare drag us into your mess.
00:24:16Even my own flesh and blood don't care about me.
00:24:18All they ever see is their own benefit.
00:24:19You sewer rat really think you're somebody?
00:24:21I'll make sure you don't leave here in one piece today.
00:24:23Guards!
00:24:24You need to go.
00:24:25This has nothing to do with you.
00:24:26I'm the one who got you into this.
00:24:29There's no way I'm leaving you here alone.
00:24:35Throw these two out and beat them good while you're at it!
00:24:48Lila!
00:24:51Why would you do that?
00:24:53You're so reckless.
00:24:56It's fine, really.
00:25:06Get out of my way.
00:25:12Don't let them leave!
00:25:15What do you want?
00:25:17You're not leaving this room until you apologize.
00:25:20You don't get to demand an apology from me.
00:25:28Sister, if you'd known your place from the start, you wouldn't have ended up humiliated like this.
00:25:33You had your little moment of tough talk.
00:25:35You're not just walking away now.
00:25:37You ate and lived at our house for over a decade for free, and now you're causing trouble the second
00:25:43you get married!
00:25:51I know you've never liked me, but what have I ever done to deserve you humiliating me over and over
00:25:57again?
00:26:00Is this what she's had to put up with her whole life?
00:26:03How much has she suffered all these years?
00:26:08Don't cry.
00:26:09I'll make this right for you.
00:26:12Make it right?
00:26:13Who do you think you are?
00:26:14Everyone in this room could crush you like an aunt.
00:26:17What makes you think you can stand up for her?
00:26:23Because this Marriott Hotel belongs to the Carter family.
00:26:33Ethan Carter, just because you share the same name as Mr. Carter doesn't mean you're hot shit.
00:26:37You're all talk and no bite.
00:26:38You're just making a fool of yourself.
00:26:40You're just a security guard.
00:26:42How dare you pretend to be part of the Carter family?
00:26:44Are you that desperate for money?
00:26:45Even if their social status is different, they both work hard for a living.
00:26:49What gives you the right to look down on him?
00:26:52Don't you dare compare a loser like him to Mr. Carter!
00:26:56He's not a loser.
00:26:57He's a million tighter than a spoiled, useless, rich brat like you!
00:27:01Character matters more than family background.
00:27:03People who use women as bargaining shapes for business are disgusting,
00:27:06no matter how fancy their title is.
00:27:08How dare you talk to me like that?
00:27:10You want to die?
00:27:24Ethan!
00:27:25Ethan!
00:27:26I'm fine.
00:27:28As long as I'm here, no one's going to hurt you.
00:27:31Being reborn this life was worth it.
00:27:33Just to meet Ethan.
00:27:44Damn woman, why isn't she answering the phone?
00:27:48Why is this elevator taking so long?
00:27:52Screw it, I'll take the stairs.
00:27:53My heart's in my throat right now.
00:28:00Twenty-two floors it is.
00:28:02Let's go.
00:28:10This is way too far.
00:28:11I'm calling the police.
00:28:19What are you doing?
00:28:21Get off her!
00:28:22What are you yelling about?
00:28:24If she calls the cops and this blows up,
00:28:26it'll ruin the Hale and Bennett family's reputation.
00:28:29Where will we hide our faces then?
00:28:30Leela, you and your husband apologize to us right now,
00:28:33and we'll let this go.
00:28:34You're the ones who did wrong.
00:28:36You're the ones who put your hands on us.
00:28:37And now you want us to apologize?
00:28:39Are you serious?
00:28:42You dare lay another hand on her.
00:28:44Do you think I'm just going to stand here and watch?
00:28:46How dare you grab my dad's arm?
00:28:48Someone help!
00:28:54Ethan!
00:28:56You were so tough earlier.
00:28:57Where'd that go now?
00:28:59You're nothing but a dead dog.
00:29:01Kid, I'm going to make you see
00:29:03just how big the gap is between you and me.
00:29:07Stop!
00:29:12Are you all right, sir?
00:29:14Honey, why are you being so nice to a security keep?
00:29:17He called me an idiot just now.
00:29:18You need to slap him around for me.
00:29:20Security guard?
00:29:21Are you blind?
00:29:23This is Mr. Carter,
00:29:24the majority shareholder of the Marriott Hotel
00:29:27and CEO of Carter Global Holdings.
00:29:34His personal bodyguard.
00:29:35Mr. Carter doesn't want his identity revealed?
00:29:38Oh, right.
00:29:39Even if he's Mr. Carter's bodyguard,
00:29:41he's still just the help.
00:29:42Shut up!
00:29:43My wife was invited to this banquet
00:29:44only to be harassed and targeted on purpose.
00:29:46Mr. Chang,
00:29:47I think you owe us an explanation.
00:29:50You're just a lapdog for Mr. Carter.
00:29:52Mr. Chang is his business partner.
00:29:54You've got no right to demand an explanation from him.
00:29:57Guards!
00:29:57Get these people out of here!
00:30:00Hurry up, get them.
00:30:03Are you blind?
00:30:04Them!
00:30:04Throw them out!
00:30:06Wait, why?
00:30:07Who do you think you are?
00:30:08I don't owe you a damn explanation.
00:30:09Take them away!
00:30:10Let go of me!
00:30:11I'm the vice president of this hotel!
00:30:13Vice president?
00:30:14What vice president?
00:30:15It was just a silly little title to keep her happy.
00:30:17It doesn't mean anything.
00:30:18One more word out of you
00:30:19and we're getting a divorce.
00:30:22Let's go home.
00:30:28How's your back?
00:30:30Do you want to go to the hospital?
00:30:31I'm fine.
00:30:32What about you?
00:30:32Does the cut on your arm still hurt?
00:30:34I don't even feel it anymore.
00:30:37I'm sorry.
00:30:38This all happened because of me.
00:30:39Don't be.
00:30:41I'm the one who should be sorry
00:30:42for not protecting you better.
00:30:44Ethan, are you hiding something from me?
00:30:49No, why would I be?
00:30:50Then why was Mr. Chang so respectful to you?
00:30:53Like you were the real Mr. Carter.
00:30:56I've worked right by Mr. Carter's side
00:30:58ever since he came back to the country.
00:30:59When he sees me, he's reminded of Mr. Carter,
00:31:02so of course he's a little intimidated.
00:31:04Oh, that makes sense.
00:31:06Would you be happier if you'd married Mr. Carter
00:31:08from Carter Global Holdings?
00:31:10No, I wouldn't.
00:31:12Why not?
00:31:12To rich people like that,
00:31:14power and status are everything.
00:31:16They don't have hearts,
00:31:17and they don't know how to love.
00:31:19Not everyone is like that.
00:31:20But everyone I've met is.
00:31:23What has she been through
00:31:24to hate rich people this much?
00:31:26If I'd known I was supposed to marry Mr. Carter,
00:31:28I never would agree to it.
00:31:30I don't want to gamble with my life.
00:31:32I just want to live a quiet, peaceful life.
00:31:34I will never go through the pain
00:31:36of my last life ever again.
00:31:42How's it going with Lila?
00:31:45I'm telling you right now,
00:31:46I absolutely adore this daughter-in-law of mine.
00:31:49She's amazing.
00:31:50So when are you going to tell her the truth about our family?
00:31:53I don't want to pretend to be the cook anymore.
00:31:54It's torture.
00:31:56I know.
00:31:57I feel like there's this wall Lily's put up.
00:31:59I can't tell her the truth until I help her break it down.
00:32:02I'm sorry, Mom.
00:32:03I know it's hard on you.
00:32:06All right, fine.
00:32:08But remember,
00:32:09you need to tell her the truth as soon as you can.
00:32:11This is a lie.
00:32:12No matter how you spin it,
00:32:14it's not fair to Lila.
00:32:18I know.
00:32:25What's wrong?
00:32:26Tell me the truth.
00:32:27Is there something off about that Ethan Carter guy?
00:32:30Is it really just a coincidence
00:32:31that he has the exact same name as Mr. Carter?
00:32:33You're not still convinced he's Mr. Carter, are you?
00:32:35Even Mr. Chang from the Marriott said
00:32:37he's just a lowly bodyguard.
00:32:39Yeah, that's true.
00:32:40They just got lucky today.
00:32:42Next time we see them,
00:32:43I'm going to get payback for what happened.
00:32:54I want to get a job.
00:32:56You don't have to.
00:32:57I can take care of you.
00:32:59I have two hands and two feet.
00:33:01I can make my own money.
00:33:03And I don't want you working yourself to the bone all alone.
00:33:07But the Bennett and Hill families
00:33:09are definitely going to target us.
00:33:11I don't even know if I'll be able to find a job.
00:33:14They can't touch the Carter family.
00:33:16You could work here.
00:33:17At the estate.
00:33:19Here?
00:33:20Yeah.
00:33:21I heard the housekeeper is hiring just the other day.
00:33:27But...
00:33:28Don't worry.
00:33:29Mr. Carter is really easy to get along with.
00:33:32And this way, I can keep an eye on you and make sure you're safe.
00:33:35Okay.
00:33:36As long as she's here with me,
00:33:38I'll find the right time to tell her the truth.
00:33:42Welcome home, young master, young Mrs. Carter.
00:33:49What's going on?
00:33:50Why did they call us young master and young Mrs. Carter?
00:33:54It's a practice run for you.
00:33:56They do this every time Mr. Carter comes home.
00:34:01Do rich people really have this many rules?
00:34:04Jay, just a few, yeah?
00:34:06Great.
00:34:07Now she thinks the Carter family is even worse.
00:34:09I need to fix this somehow.
00:34:13Miss Bennett, would you like some fruit?
00:34:16You don't have to call me Miss Bennett.
00:34:18Just call me Leela.
00:34:20Are we allowed to eat this stuff whenever we want?
00:34:22The Carter family is really kind.
00:34:24All of this is for the staff, as a benefit.
00:34:32You must be tired.
00:34:34Have a seat and drink some tea.
00:34:35Is this really okay?
00:34:37Of course it is.
00:34:38The Carter family is really good to their staff.
00:34:40Make yourself at home here.
00:34:47I followed Mr. Carter all the way back to the country.
00:34:49There's no way he's getting rid of me.
00:34:51Look at her clothes and jewelries.
00:34:54She's definitely some rich heiress.
00:34:56And the Mr. Carter she's talking about must be.
00:35:04Ethan, I told you.
00:35:06I'd follow you to the ends of the earth.
00:35:18Can I help you?
00:35:19My name is Scarlett Bennett.
00:35:20You mentioned Mr. Carter, just now Eason Carter.
00:35:23The heir heir to the Carter family who just came back to the country, right?
00:35:26What's it to you?
00:35:27I'm from Boston.
00:35:28My family has quite a few connections here.
00:35:30I might be able to help you.
00:35:31I don't buy the whole nice for no reason act.
00:35:33I'm not wasting my time with you.
00:35:35If I didn't need to use you to get in with the Carter family, I wouldn't be kissing your ass
00:35:38right now.
00:35:39Just you wait.
00:35:40You'll be begging for my help soon enough.
00:35:42So this is where Ethan lives.
00:35:44You're new here, so take your time settling in.
00:35:47But remember, you need to be extra polite to Ms. Leela Bennett.
00:35:51Why?
00:35:53She's really special to Mr. Carter.
00:36:05Are you Lila Bennett?
00:36:07And you are?
00:36:09She's got that innocent look.
00:36:10No wonder she's been leading Ethan on.
00:36:12I'm the future Mrs. Carter of this estate.
00:36:14Is Mr. Carter engaged?
00:36:16I've never heard anything about that.
00:36:19What kind of half-assed job is this?
00:36:21It's not up to standard.
00:36:22You're fired.
00:36:25The Carter family hired me.
00:36:27Only the Carter family can fire me.
00:36:30How dare you talk back to me!
00:36:31Once Ethan marries me, you'll be out of here anyway!
00:36:37Ethan!
00:36:39You don't be seeing?
00:36:40I don't like this woman.
00:36:41Can you kick her out of the house for me?
00:36:48What are you doing here?
00:36:49I found out you were back, so I flew home right away.
00:36:55Ethan, I worked so hard to find you.
00:36:59Rosalind, I don't have feelings for you.
00:37:01There's never going to be anything between us.
00:37:03Please leave now.
00:37:06But...
00:37:18Did she give you a hard time?
00:37:20She said she's Mr. Carter's fiancé.
00:37:23Her name is Rosalind Chase.
00:37:25The Chase family and the Carter family are just regular business partners.
00:37:29There's absolutely nothing going on between her and Mr. Carter, I swear!
00:37:32Why are you so nervous?
00:37:34You're talking about Mr. Carter, not yourself.
00:37:36And why did she ask you to kick me out?
00:37:38You're just a security guard, right?
00:37:39As the head of security here,
00:37:41I have the authority to decide who comes in and who goes out.
00:37:44Oh, that makes sense.
00:37:52That was a close one.
00:37:54I need to be more careful from now on.
00:38:03Mr. Carter, don't you get tired of changing clothes every time you come home?
00:38:06I don't have a choice.
00:38:08I need to keep the act up.
00:38:14Isn't that the chairman?
00:38:15Looks like wrapped up the overseas handover.
00:38:19Dad?
00:38:20Oh no, he's going to blow my cover!
00:38:24Lila saw our family portrait.
00:38:25She'll recognize Dad.
00:38:26I haven't had time to tell them about the act yet.
00:38:28If they run into each other...
00:38:30Brother, the whole thing's over!
00:38:40Welcome home, sir.
00:38:41Pour me a cup of tea, please.
00:38:42Yes, sir.
00:38:48Are you...
00:38:48You must be Lila, my daughter-in-law.
00:38:50You're just as beautiful as you are in the photos.
00:38:53You must be Ethan's father.
00:38:54You look much younger in person than you do in the photo.
00:38:57No need to be so formal.
00:38:59You're part of the family now that you're married to my boy.
00:39:01You can call me Dad, just like he does.
00:39:04Dad.
00:39:05There we go.
00:39:07Set the tea down here and go fix something to eat.
00:39:11Lila's far too thin.
00:39:12She needs to eat more.
00:39:13Yes, sir.
00:39:14What are you standing there for, Lila?
00:39:16Come sit down.
00:39:18Dad, is it really okay for you to order the staff around like this here?
00:39:22It's my house.
00:39:23I can order my staff around however I like.
00:39:25What's the problem?
00:39:26You said this is...
00:39:28your house?
00:39:33Dad!
00:39:39Dad, even if Mr. Carter isn't home, you can't just act like this.
00:39:44If you get caught, you could get fired from your job as Mr. Carter's driver.
00:39:48My dad is Mr. Carter's personal driver.
00:39:51He's worked for the Carter family for years, so he's gotten a little too comfortable here.
00:39:56Don't get the wrong idea.
00:39:58I need to have a word with Dad.
00:40:01So let me get this straight.
00:40:02Right now, you're the Carter family's security guard.
00:40:05Your mom's the cook.
00:40:06I'm the driver, and Lila's working here as a maid.
00:40:11And no one's going to question why the actual Carter family is never around?
00:40:15I told Lila they're swamped with work and almost never come home.
00:40:18You've got to be kidding me.
00:40:20I want to tell her the truth.
00:40:21But Lila has this deep prejudice against rich people.
00:40:25I'm scared if I tell her out of the blue, she won't be able to handle it.
00:40:30You're going to have to tell her sooner or later.
00:40:31The longer you drag this out, the worse it's going to be.
00:40:35And mark my words, if she doesn't forgive you when you finally tell her I'm not bailing you out.
00:40:42I know.
00:40:50You, go get me some pastries.
00:40:52Miss Chase, this is the Carter family's home.
00:40:54I'm going to marry Ethan sooner or later.
00:40:56What difference does it make if I act like the lady of the house a little early?
00:40:59But I heard Mr. Carter isn't in that kind of relationship with you.
00:41:02The Chase family and the Carter family have been business partners for over a decade.
00:41:06When it comes to family background and status, I'm the only one good enough for Ethan.
00:41:10Who else is he going to marry?
00:41:11Some broke nobody like you?
00:41:13Miss Chase, you've got the wrong idea.
00:41:15Mr. Carter and I are just employer and employee.
00:41:18Do you think I'm an idiot?
00:41:19I saw exactly how Ethan treated you when I was here last time.
00:41:22I'm here today to tell you this.
00:41:24If you know what's good for you, you'll leave on your own.
00:41:26If I have to step in, you'll regret it.
00:41:29This is my job.
00:41:31I'm not leaving.
00:41:36You little...
00:41:38Ugh!
00:41:41What's wrong with you?
00:41:42Can't even hold a cup without dropping it!
00:41:44You were the one who was hurling.
00:41:46How dare you talk back to me!
00:41:52Remember your place here.
00:41:54You are here to work as a maid, not to be the lady of the house.
00:42:02Where do you think you are going?
00:42:03Not to see the glass all over the floor.
00:42:05Clean it up!
00:42:06Right now!
00:42:08What if someone steps on it and gets hurt?
00:42:11You think you can take responsibility?
00:42:26Oops!
00:42:27Sorry!
00:42:28Did not see that there.
00:42:32You did that on purpose!
00:42:34So what?
00:42:35This is what happens when you go after things that do not belong to you.
00:42:39Miss Chase, I do not have any feelings for Mr. Carter.
00:42:42You are such a liar!
00:42:44He stood up for you the last time I was here!
00:42:47How is that possible?
00:42:48Looks like I did not teach you enough of a lesson last time.
00:42:53Pain is the only thing that is going to make this stick in your thick skull!
00:42:58No!
00:42:59No, Ed!
00:43:00No!
00:43:04What the hell do you think you are doing?
00:43:06Ethan.
00:43:07Ethan.
00:43:08Ethan.
00:43:12Ethan?
00:43:22You've got the wrong person.
00:43:23Huh?
00:43:28I'm taking you to the hospital.
00:43:31You still dare to say there's nothing going on?
00:43:34You threw yourself at Ethan right in front of me!
00:43:38Lila Bennett, this isn't over.
00:43:44Does it still hurt?
00:43:46What was that about earlier?
00:43:47Why did Miss Chase call you Ethan?
00:43:51She got me mixed up with Mr. Carter.
00:43:53We look kind of like at first glance.
00:43:58Oh.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01You know, I've never even met Mr. Carter before.
00:44:04You will?
00:44:05I'm so sorry.
00:44:06This all happened because of me.
00:44:08It's not your fault.
00:44:09Miss Chase just got the wrong idea about me and Mr. Carter.
00:44:13She really isn't Mr. Carter's fiancé?
00:44:15I swear, there is absolutely nothing going on between Mr. Carter and Rosalind Chase.
00:44:20He's never going to marry her.
00:44:22There will only ever be one Mrs. Carter.
00:44:25And that's...
00:44:29Shit.
00:44:30I almost blew it.
00:44:31You're not Mr. Carter.
00:44:33Why are you swearing for him?
00:44:36Lila, why do you hate rich people so much?
00:44:40If I were rich, would you hate me too?
00:44:47Human greed is endless.
00:44:49Once people get rich, they just want more and more.
00:44:51They never stop.
00:44:52I don't want to be around people like that anymore.
00:44:54And I don't want you to turn into that either.
00:44:56You can't lump everyone into the same box.
00:44:58Maybe you've been through some terrible things,
00:45:00but if you just take one step forward, you'll see it's not as bad as you think.
00:45:03You think money makes people greedy and ruthless,
00:45:05but I think money can give the people you love a better life.
00:45:08There's nothing wrong with money itself.
00:45:10It's the people who use it the wrong way.
00:45:13Is that really true?
00:45:16Lila, what kind of person do you think I am?
00:45:18You're a good person.
00:45:19You've been so good to me.
00:45:20Exactly.
00:45:21This is who I am.
00:45:22Rich or poor, the heart that loves you will never change.
00:45:25I believe you.
00:45:26I'm not perfect.
00:45:26I might have lied to you about some things,
00:45:28but I need you to know,
00:45:30riding my bike to pick you up that day was the best decision I've ever made in my life.
00:45:44Lila Bennett, just you wait.
00:45:47Ethan is mine.
00:45:48You don't stand a chance.
00:45:50Did she just say Lila Bennett?
00:45:56Miss Chase, we meet again.
00:46:00Oh, it's you.
00:46:01I thought I heard you say Lila Bennett just now.
00:46:04You know her?
00:46:06She's my older sister.
00:46:08Miss Chase, don't get the wrong idea.
00:46:10She might be my sister, but I absolutely hate her.
00:46:13I wish she'd just disappear.
00:46:16She grew up in the countryside.
00:46:18She's never been close to our family,
00:46:20and she doesn't have an ounce of class in her.
00:46:22No wonder she's so insufferable.
00:46:24A total country bumper.
00:46:25Exactly.
00:46:26She's always resented me my whole life.
00:46:28She tries to steal everything I like,
00:46:29no matter if it's things or people.
00:46:30So she's a serial homewrecker.
00:46:32I knew it.
00:46:32She's been throwing herself at Ethan this whole time.
00:46:34She's even married, and she's still this bold?
00:46:35How shameless.
00:46:36She's married?
00:46:38What's her husband's name?
00:46:39What's his background?
00:46:48Her husband's name is Ethan Carter.
00:46:51What?
00:46:54Don't get the wrong idea.
00:46:55He's just a security guard who happens to have the same name as Mr. Carter.
00:46:59Mr. Carter lives in the mansion.
00:47:00He guards the front gate.
00:47:02Birds of a feather flock together.
00:47:04Miss Chase, since we have a common enemy,
00:47:06maybe we should work together.
00:47:08What's your plan?
00:47:09I know exactly how to take Lila Bennett down.
00:47:12I just don't have a way to get close to her.
00:47:14But you do.
00:47:15And what do you want from me in return?
00:47:17Once you become Mrs. Carter,
00:47:19I just want you to give the Hale and Bennett Camleys
00:47:21a chance to work with the Carter family.
00:47:23Deal.
00:47:24Honey, when are you going to tell Lila the truth?
00:47:26I can't even tell spinach from celery.
00:47:29And I'm supposed to be pretending to be a cook.
00:47:31It's torture.
00:47:32Yeah, I spend all day in board meetings at the company.
00:47:35Then I have to come home and pretend to patrol the garage every night.
00:47:38Wait, my back is killing me.
00:47:40I'm working on it.
00:47:40I just haven't found the right time yet.
00:47:42If you ask me, you never should have lied in the first place.
00:47:44Now you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
00:47:46You brought this on yourself.
00:47:47Oh, stop it.
00:47:47Just help your son figure this out.
00:47:49If we lose this amazing daughter-in-law,
00:47:50we'll never find another one like her.
00:47:53Lila, you're back.
00:47:55Oh, shit.
00:47:57What the hell was that?
00:47:58I got to get out of here.
00:48:00Ethan, get the lights.
00:48:02I'm on it.
00:48:14Lila, you must be exhausted.
00:48:16Come sit down and rest for a bit.
00:48:18The Carter family is really good to us,
00:48:21but we're still employees.
00:48:22This isn't right.
00:48:25Lila, I have something to tell you.
00:48:28You two lovebirds have a chat.
00:48:30We'll get out of your hair.
00:48:35What did you want to tell me?
00:48:39The little cottage we're staying in.
00:48:41It was just set up temporarily.
00:48:43I don't actually live there normally.
00:48:45I know that.
00:48:46You do?
00:48:47You told me it was a place Mr. Carter let you stay
00:48:50out of the kindness of his heart.
00:48:51I know you just moved here from the countryside
00:48:53and you don't have a house in Boston.
00:48:54But don't worry.
00:48:55We'll work hard together
00:48:56and we'll have our own house someday.
00:48:58Actually, I do have a house.
00:48:59Really?
00:49:00Where is it?
00:49:01Here.
00:49:04What do you mean here?
00:49:08There is an old apartment complex
00:49:1020 kilometers east of here.
00:49:12I have a place there.
00:49:13It is 80 square feet.
00:49:15My parents live there most of the time.
00:49:17Is this a surprise?
00:49:19Yeah, yeah, it is.
00:49:21Damn it.
00:49:21I still could not say it.
00:49:23I am so scared if I tell her the truth.
00:49:25She will leave me.
00:49:26I am happy for you.
00:49:27But that is your parents' house.
00:49:29We can't slack off.
00:49:30We need to work even harder to make money.
00:49:32Okay.
00:49:34Let us go back to our little cottage now.
00:49:37No matter how fancy other places are,
00:49:40there is no place like home.
00:49:42Don't say that about our home.
00:49:45Let's go.
00:49:47Just a little longer.
00:49:49I will find the right time eventually.
00:50:04My stomach hurts.
00:50:06I need to run to the bathroom.
00:50:07Go ahead.
00:50:07I have got this covered.
00:50:08Oh.
00:50:15Lina Bennett.
00:50:16I know everything.
00:50:17You are a married woman.
00:50:19And you are throwing yourself at Ethan.
00:50:20Have you no shame?
00:50:21Miss Chase, I told you.
00:50:23I am not.
00:50:26Do not lie to me.
00:50:27I saw you two hugging and all over each other
00:50:30right in front of me last time.
00:50:31Are you blind?
00:50:36Ethan helped me out last time.
00:50:38But why is she talking about Mr. Carter?
00:50:43Your sister told me everything.
00:50:44You married a security guard.
00:50:46And now you're jealous and bitter
00:50:47so you're setting your sights on Ethan
00:50:49and living in a fantasy world.
00:50:50I'm not.
00:50:51My husband and I have a wonderful relationship.
00:50:53Even though he's a security guard,
00:50:54he loves me and respects me.
00:50:56In my eyes, he's no different than Mr. Carter.
00:50:59The Carter family's business is top five in the world.
00:51:02They're the absolute top of the food chain here in Boston.
00:51:05Your husband's monthly salary
00:51:07can't even pay for one of Ethan's meals.
00:51:09Are you insane to say they're the same?
00:51:11I don't care what you think.
00:51:13All I'm saying is there's nothing going on
00:51:15between me and Mr. Carter.
00:51:16You're a lowly maid.
00:51:18You and your security guard husband belong together.
00:51:20You need to stay as far away from Ethan as possible
00:51:23before you dirty his reputation.
00:51:25What exactly are you trying to say?
00:51:26It's simple.
00:51:27Pack your things and get the hell out of the Carter estate
00:51:30right now.
00:51:31If I leave, it'll just prove I have something to hide.
00:51:33I don't, so I'm not leaving.
00:51:35Stop right there!
00:51:39What's going on here?
00:51:43You.
00:51:47That's the chase girl, isn't it?
00:51:48She followed my son all the way here.
00:51:50Wait, no.
00:51:51If she recognizes me,
00:51:52how am I going to explain this to Lila?
00:52:00Who are you?
00:52:02I'm Lila's mother-in-law.
00:52:04No wonder you're all the same.
00:52:06I can smell the poverty on you
00:52:07from all the way over here.
00:52:09How dare you speak to me like that, young lady?
00:52:11You should be honored just to be talking to me.
00:52:14You're Lila's mother-in-law,
00:52:15so you must know about the disgusting things
00:52:18she's been doing, right?
00:52:19What things?
00:52:21She's been throwing herself at Ethan,
00:52:24clinging to him non-stop.
00:52:25Your son must be wearing the biggest green hat
00:52:27in the world right now.
00:52:29This is all my son's fault.
00:52:31If he just told her the truth earlier,
00:52:33none of this would be happening.
00:52:35You don't even look surprised.
00:52:37If you can tolerate your daughter at your dossie
00:52:39of a doing that this minimum may resmink it.
00:52:41What did you just say?
00:52:42How dare you speak to an elder like that?
00:52:45Apologize right now!
00:52:47Apologize?
00:52:48To, like, her?
00:52:49She doesn't deserve it.
00:52:54Oh, I don't deserve it?
00:52:57Why are you taking your mask off?
00:52:59Who knows if you have some kind of disease?
00:53:00Put it back on!
00:53:01The Carter family and the Chase family
00:53:03have worked together for years.
00:53:04This is the perfect chance to see
00:53:06what this girl is really like.
00:53:07Only I have the right status to be with Ethan.
00:53:10Sooner or later,
00:53:11I'm going to be the rightful Mrs. Carter of this family.
00:53:13My daughter-in-law is right here.
00:53:14You don't stand a chance.
00:53:15If you and your family know what's good for you,
00:53:17you'll pack your things and leave right now.
00:53:19If you keep getting in my way,
00:53:20you'll regret it.
00:53:22We're not going anywhere.
00:53:23I'm telling you right now,
00:53:24as long as I'm here,
00:53:25you'll never set foot in this house with Mrs. Carter.
00:53:28You really think your son,
00:53:30that gatekeeping dog, can stop me?
00:53:32How dare you speak about my son like that!
00:53:37What's going on here?
00:53:39Why are you wearing a mask too?
00:53:41I've got a cold.
00:53:42Don't want to pass it to Leela.
00:53:49Young Master,
00:53:50Miss Chase is causing trouble at the house again.
00:53:54Mr. Carter,
00:53:54what about the International National Meeting in 10 minutes?
00:53:56Cancel it.
00:54:03You must be the father-in-law of Leela, right?
00:54:07What a perfect match your family is.
00:54:10A bunch of sewer rats,
00:54:11always surrounding yourselves with trash.
00:54:14Watch your mouth!
00:54:15Miss Chase,
00:54:16I have been polite to you this whole time
00:54:17because you are a guest.
00:54:19But that does not give you the right to insult me
00:54:21or my family.
00:54:22Once I become Mrs. Carter,
00:54:24I will not be the guest anymore.
00:54:26I will be the lady of this house.
00:54:28And when that day comes,
00:54:30your husband
00:54:31and these two old fools right here
00:54:33will all be out on the street.
00:54:36The Carter group has thrived in business for decades
00:54:38not just with strategy,
00:54:39but with principles.
00:54:41You throwing your weight around like this?
00:54:42Do you have no regard for the Carter family reputation?
00:54:45I have the money and the power,
00:54:46so I make the rules.
00:54:48That is something you lowlights
00:54:49will never understand
00:54:50in your entire miserable lives.
00:54:52I cannot believe it's clear
00:54:54we need to reconsider
00:54:55any future partnerships with them.
00:54:57I am asking one last time.
00:54:59Are you going to leave on your own
00:55:00or am I going to have my men drag you out?
00:55:03This is the Carter estate.
00:55:04You would not dare.
00:55:06So that is a no.
00:55:07Someone get in here.
00:55:09Take this trash out.
00:55:10Dump them as far away as possible.
00:55:14I would like to see you
00:55:16try to drag my parents anywhere.
00:55:19Your parents?
00:55:23They are...
00:55:34You're...
00:55:35Leela!
00:55:37What is wrong with her?
00:55:38Quick, get her to the hospital.
00:55:42Miss Chase,
00:55:43I think it is crystal clear by now
00:55:44that my son's heart belongs to someone else.
00:55:46Besides,
00:55:46the Carter family would never accept
00:55:47a daughter-in-law with such vile character.
00:55:49When you get home,
00:55:50you tell your father
00:55:51that the Carter group
00:55:51is putting all ongoing
00:55:52and future partnerships
00:55:53to the Chase group
00:55:53under immediate review.
00:55:55No.
00:55:56How could this happen?
00:55:57Why would she just pass out like that?
00:55:59It is all my fault.
00:56:01I did not take good enough care of her.
00:56:03It's my fault.
00:56:04I've been swamped with work at the company.
00:56:06I haven't spent any time with her lately.
00:56:11Doctor, how is my wife?
00:56:14Congratulations.
00:56:15She is pregnant.
00:56:22Pregnant!
00:56:29Her body's been weak
00:56:31and the extreme emotional stress
00:56:32caused her to faint.
00:56:36But there's no serious damage
00:56:37to her or the baby.
00:56:39She can be discharged
00:56:40after a couple of days of observation.
00:56:43Thank you, doctor.
00:56:49Lila's pregnant
00:56:50and you didn't even notice a thing.
00:56:52Thank God nothing happened
00:56:54or I would never forgive you.
00:56:55This is our first grandchild.
00:56:57Nothing can happen to them.
00:56:59Lila's not lifting a finger
00:57:00from now on.
00:57:01No more of this little act
00:57:03you've been putting on.
00:57:03You know what you need.
00:57:06I'll tell her everything.
00:57:08And whatever she wants to do,
00:57:10however she's angry,
00:57:12I'll take it.
00:57:20What happened to me?
00:57:25You're going to have a baby, Lila.
00:57:27We're having a baby.
00:57:29I'm pregnant?
00:57:30From now on,
00:57:31you just focus on resting
00:57:33and taking care of yourself
00:57:34and the baby.
00:57:34I'll handle everything else.
00:57:37There's something I need to tell you.
00:57:38Something I should have said
00:57:39a long time ago.
00:57:40What is it?
00:57:46I'm not a security guard
00:57:48and my parents aren't a driver
00:57:50and a housekeeper.
00:57:54I'm the heir to the Carter family,
00:57:56Ethan Carter.
00:57:57I'm the CEO of
00:57:59Carter Global Hardings.
00:58:00The man you've been calling
00:58:02Mr. Carter this whole time,
00:58:03it's me.
00:58:11You'll say anything to get me
00:58:13to take time off work,
00:58:14won't you?
00:58:16I know my body's been weak,
00:58:18so I'll take it easy
00:58:20from now on,
00:58:21I promise.
00:58:22You don't have to make up
00:58:23silly stories.
00:58:24I'm not making it up.
00:58:25I really am the CEO
00:58:26of Carter Global Holdings.
00:58:28From now on,
00:58:28you're the lady of the Carter family.
00:58:30You can just relax
00:58:31and let me take care of you.
00:58:32If you were really Mr. Carter,
00:58:34why didn't the manager
00:58:35of the Marriott recognize you?
00:58:36Why don't any of the house staff
00:58:38here know who you are?
00:58:39I really shouldn't have dug myself
00:58:41this deep of a hole.
00:58:43We might not have a lot of money,
00:58:45but we have so much love.
00:58:47A baby raised with love
00:58:48will always be happy.
00:58:50Our baby is going to be
00:58:51the happiest kid in the world.
00:58:53I promise.
00:58:55Hey, Miss Chase.
00:58:57Did Lila finally see
00:58:59the gap between you two
00:59:00and run off with her tail
00:59:01between her legs?
00:59:03Scarlett Bennett!
00:59:05You ruined me!
00:59:06Never contact me again!
00:59:12Why the hell is she turning on me
00:59:13all of a sudden?
00:59:15I'm going to see for myself
00:59:16what that little snake Lila
00:59:18is up to.
00:59:27Well, well.
00:59:28Look who ended up
00:59:29in the hospital.
00:59:30I guess if you're dumb enough
00:59:31to sign up for a life of hardship,
00:59:33you're going to get
00:59:33a lifetime of it.
00:59:34If your life was actually
00:59:35as perfect as you say it is,
00:59:36you wouldn't be here
00:59:37trying to make me feel
00:59:38bad about mine.
00:59:38I'm Mrs. Hale of the Hale Group.
00:59:40I live a life of luxury.
00:59:42Why on earth
00:59:43would I be unhappy?
00:59:45The whole city's talking
00:59:46about how Julian's been cheating
00:59:48on you left and right.
00:59:49There was even a girl
00:59:50who showed up
00:59:50at your door pregnant.
00:59:52Don't you get cocky,
00:59:53Lila Bennett!
00:59:54Once I broker a deal
00:59:55between the Hale Group
00:59:56and the Carter Group,
00:59:57no one's going to take
00:59:58this Mrs. Hale title
00:59:59away from me.
01:00:01I'm always going to
01:00:02be better than you.
01:00:07Is that really Mr. Carter?
01:00:08The one who just moved
01:00:09back to Boston
01:00:10that every rich family
01:00:11in the city
01:00:11is dying to work with?
01:00:12Who else would have
01:00:13the hospital director
01:00:14personally greeting them?
01:00:15That's definitely him.
01:00:18Mr. Carter's here?
01:00:19This is my chance.
01:00:27Mr. Carter's just a man.
01:00:29With my looks,
01:00:30there's no way
01:00:30I can't win him over.
01:00:31Mr. Carter,
01:00:32what are you doing here?
01:00:36Well, your wife's
01:00:37in the hospital.
01:00:38I guess it makes sense
01:00:39you'd be hanging around here.
01:00:41Lila married a loser
01:00:42security guard like you.
01:00:44She eats street food,
01:00:45wears cheap clothes
01:00:47from the dollar store.
01:00:48I can't believe
01:00:49she has the nerve
01:00:50to look down on me.
01:00:51Julian's got a new scandal
01:00:52every other week
01:00:53and you've got time
01:00:53to stand here
01:00:54judging other people's lives?
01:00:55Are you just that delusional
01:00:56or have you completely
01:00:57given up?
01:00:58You're just a damn
01:00:58security guard.
01:00:59Who do you think
01:01:00you are talking to me
01:01:00like that?
01:01:01You've been licking boots
01:01:02for so long
01:01:02you think you're the boss now?
01:01:03Once I make a deal
01:01:04with Mr. Carter,
01:01:04the first thing I'll do
01:01:05is have him fire you.
01:01:06It's never going to happen.
01:01:08What makes you so sure?
01:01:10You're so loud.
01:01:11Someone get over here!
01:01:17Get her out of here.
01:01:20You think you can
01:01:21boss people around
01:01:22just because Mr. Carter's
01:01:23not here?
01:01:24Wait till he finds out
01:01:25what you're doing.
01:01:26He'll ruin you!
01:01:27You have no right
01:01:28to meddle in the
01:01:28Carter family's affairs.
01:01:30Get her out.
01:01:31This isn't over!
01:01:32I'll make you pay for this!
01:01:34You and Lila
01:01:35will both regret this!
01:01:42The follow-up results
01:01:44are in.
01:01:44You and the baby
01:01:45are both perfectly healthy.
01:01:46We can go home
01:01:47this afternoon.
01:01:52When we get back,
01:01:54I want you to come
01:01:54with me somewhere.
01:01:56Okay.
01:01:57Lila,
01:01:59after today,
01:02:00everyone will know
01:02:01you're the lady
01:02:01of the Carter family.
01:02:02Every hard thing
01:02:03you've been through,
01:02:04every hurt you've
01:02:05felt.
01:02:05I'll spend the rest
01:02:06of my life
01:02:06making it up to you.
01:02:11Don't you know
01:02:12how to knock
01:02:12before you come in?
01:02:14What's wrong?
01:02:14Did something happen?
01:02:15I just got word
01:02:16Mr. Carter's hosting
01:02:17a gala for all
01:02:18the elites in Boston.
01:02:19He's got a big
01:02:20announcement today.
01:02:21Seriously?
01:02:22This is our shot!
01:02:23We can finally
01:02:24lock in a partnership
01:02:25with the Carter group!
01:02:26I know who did this.
01:02:29That damn security guard.
01:02:31He stole our invitations
01:02:32just to get back at us.
01:02:35How dare he?
01:02:36He's got a death wish.
01:02:38What do we do now?
01:02:39Without invitations,
01:02:40we can't even get in,
01:02:41let alone get a deal.
01:02:44I've got a plan.
01:02:51We can buy two invitations
01:02:53off the black market.
01:02:55But this is a
01:02:56Carter group gala.
01:02:57A single invitation
01:02:58will cost at least
01:02:58a few million.
01:02:59You have to spend money
01:03:00to make money.
01:03:02Once we lock in this deal
01:03:03with the Carter group,
01:03:04we'll make that millions
01:03:05back in no time.
01:03:07Fine.
01:03:08I'll handle it.
01:03:09And you better keep it
01:03:10in your pants at this gala.
01:03:11If you so much as look at
01:03:12another woman the wrong way,
01:03:13I won't just send her
01:03:14out of the country.
01:03:15Got it?
01:03:15Yeah, yeah, I got it.
01:03:19Hey, baby.
01:03:20You want to meet up tonight?
01:03:26Do we really have to dress up
01:03:28this much just for dinner?
01:03:31You're the guest of honor tonight.
01:03:33You deserve to look like it.
01:03:37I need to take this call.
01:03:39Wait right here for me, okay?
01:03:44Who's that?
01:03:45That dress, that posture.
01:03:47She's got to be
01:03:48some big shot's daughter.
01:03:50Lena Bennett?
01:03:53This is an exclusive gala
01:03:55for Boston's Elite,
01:03:56hosted by the Carter group.
01:03:58What the hell are you doing here?
01:04:00All dressed up like this?
01:04:01Trying to seduce some rich man?
01:04:05I'm just here
01:04:05for dinner with Ethan.
01:04:07Dinner?
01:04:07You can't even afford
01:04:08a glass of champagne
01:04:09in this place.
01:04:11Let me tell you something.
01:04:12Mr. Carter is hosting
01:04:13this gala tonight.
01:04:14Someone like you
01:04:15doesn't belong here.
01:04:16You're dragging down
01:04:18the whole event.
01:04:19I'm dying to know
01:04:19how you snuck in here.
01:04:20You got an invitation?
01:04:22No.
01:04:23No invitation?
01:04:24Did you crawl in
01:04:24through a dog door
01:04:25or something?
01:04:26Just because you rented
01:04:27a fancy dress doesn't mean
01:04:28you're some high society lady.
01:04:29Wow, nice fabric.
01:04:30Didn't think that security guard
01:04:31boyfriend of yours
01:04:32would splurge on you
01:04:33like this?
01:04:34I have to go.
01:04:35We're done here.
01:04:37Trying to run away
01:04:38now that you've been caught?
01:04:39Not a chance.
01:04:40Let go of me!
01:04:42Ah!
01:04:45You lay a hand on her again
01:04:47and you'll never work in Boston.
01:04:55Who the hell do you think
01:04:56you are talking to me like that?
01:04:57You show up to my gala
01:04:59then have the nerve
01:04:59to question me?
01:05:00Don't you think
01:05:01that's a little ridiculous?
01:05:11You're not welcome!
01:05:13You're a security guard.
01:05:15You've been working
01:05:15the door too long.
01:05:17Just because you have
01:05:18the same name as Mr. Carter
01:05:19doesn't mean you're
01:05:20even close to being him.
01:05:22Lila, your husband's
01:05:23not just broke.
01:05:23He's delusional.
01:05:24I'd be humiliated
01:05:25if I were you.
01:05:26You've never met
01:05:27Mr. Carter in person.
01:05:28What makes you so sure
01:05:29I'm not him?
01:05:29You showed up
01:05:30to your wedding
01:05:31on a beat-up bicycle?
01:05:32You live in a storage shed!
01:05:34Your whole family
01:05:34works as servants
01:05:35in the Carter estate!
01:05:36We saw it all
01:05:37with our own eyes!
01:05:38Yeah, how do you
01:05:38explain that?
01:05:39I don't owe you
01:05:39an explanation.
01:05:40All you need to know
01:05:41is I'm in charge here.
01:05:42And when I tell you
01:05:43to leave, you leave.
01:05:45See this?
01:05:45This is an invitation.
01:05:47We were invited here.
01:05:48Not anymore.
01:05:51Now get the hell
01:05:52out of here!
01:05:53That cost five million!
01:05:55You piece of trash!
01:05:56I'll kill you!
01:05:59That's Mr. Chen,
01:06:01Mr. Wu,
01:06:01and Mr. Zhao,
01:06:02the top three tycoons
01:06:04in Boston.
01:06:04They're all here!
01:06:08Mr. Carter.
01:06:10Whoa!
01:06:10You...
01:06:11You're really
01:06:12Mr. Carter?
01:06:15It's the honor
01:06:15of a lifetime
01:06:16to meet you today,
01:06:17Mr. Carter.
01:06:17You're not just
01:06:18a brilliant businessman,
01:06:19Mr. Carter.
01:06:20You're incredibly
01:06:20handsome, too.
01:06:21Every single socialite
01:06:22in Boston is dying
01:06:23to win your heart,
01:06:24Mr. Carter.
01:06:25I'm sorry to disappoint
01:06:26you all,
01:06:26but I'm happily married.
01:06:28You two make
01:06:29a stunning couple.
01:06:30A match made in heaven!
01:06:32Congratulations,
01:06:33Mr. and Mrs. Carter.
01:06:34You're really Mr. Carter?
01:06:35What about your parents?
01:06:36I asked them
01:06:37to play along with me.
01:06:38My grandfather
01:06:38made a marriage pact
01:06:39between the Carter
01:06:40and Bennett families
01:06:40before he passed away.
01:06:41I had my doubts
01:06:42about an arranged marriage,
01:06:43so I hid who I really
01:06:44was at first.
01:06:45I wanted to tell you
01:06:46the truth so many times,
01:06:47but I never found
01:06:48the right moment.
01:06:48This whole gala
01:06:49is for you, Lila.
01:06:50I'm going to introduce
01:06:51you to everyone
01:06:52in Boston tonight,
01:06:53and I'm begging
01:06:53for your forgiveness.
01:06:54I'm sorry I lied to you.
01:06:55It can't be.
01:06:57I did it all over again.
01:06:59I chose wrong again.
01:07:01You hurt the woman I love.
01:07:02As long as the Carter group
01:07:03has a presence in Boston,
01:07:05neither the HAL group
01:07:06nor the Bennett group
01:07:06will ever amount
01:07:07to anything in the city.
01:07:12Come on.
01:07:13Let's start
01:07:14our new life together.
01:07:20Congratulations,
01:07:21Mr. and Mrs. Carter.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25You
