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

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

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

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

00:00:22Now?

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

00:00:28Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:58your money can buy everything, but it can't buy my respect.

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:18Deal.

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

00:01:23and I,

00:01:24I became her substitute,

00:01:26Logan's caged canori.

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

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

00:01:41Miss Ava,

00:01:42Lucas, the chief of Operation Liberty Finance,

00:01:44been waiting for you for three hours,

00:01:45ready to sign the contract with you.

00:01:50Okay.

00:01:52Actually,

00:01:53the life that truly belongs to me is just beginning.

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

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

00:02:08Ava,

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

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

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

00:02:19All right,

00:02:19I'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,

00:02:34great news.

00:02:35Ava signed.

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

00:02:39Five years.

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

00:02:49Ava,

00:02:49you're too slow.

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

00:02:54Ava,

00:02:55I'm so sorry.

00:02:55These are just too heavy.

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

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

00:02:59Happy to help.

00:03:00By the way,

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

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

00:03:05Elena,

00:03:06don'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.

00:03:16Justing Remichin,

00:03:17Ava,

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

00:03:20Hurry up.

00:03:21Ava,

00:03:21Elena is quite conservative.

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

00:03:26Trying to boyfriend,

00:03:27meaty,

00:03:27so Aina won't suspect anything.

00:03:29Fine.

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

00:03:33His real princess has returned.

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

00:03:43Sorry,

00:03:44I just got off the phone with an international headhunter.

00:03:47All the big companies want to pojic me.

00:03:49Of course they do.

00:03:50Here,

00:03:51try this.

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

00:03:54Ava,

00:03:54why 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,

00:04:01I remember now.

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

00:04:03Logan,

00:04:03should we change restaurants?

00:04:05No need.

00:04:06She said she's not hungry.

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

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

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

00:04:15Ava,

00:04:15I 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,

00:04:23Ava is,

00:04:24after all,

00:04:24the group's executive president.

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

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

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

00:04:32As long as I ask,

00:04:33she wouldn't dare say no.

00:04:34Right,

00:04:35Ava?

00:04:35Yes,

00:04:36Mr.

00:04:36Logan.

00:04:47Logan,

00:04:47are you serious?

00:04:49Ava's been with you for five years,

00:04:51and you're really going to kick her out?

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

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

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

00:04:59She's proud.

00:05:00She knew I used 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,

00:05:05Ava is incredibly capable.

00:05:07Not only did she manage her company flawlessly,

00:05:08but she was also obedient in bed.

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

00:05:11The passenger seat in my life

00:05:13is reserved only for a real princess.

00:05:15As for Ava,

00:05:17she's not worthy.

00:05:19Ava?

00:05:20What are you doing standing at the door

00:05:22with the fruit platter spacing out?

00:05:32Oh my God.

00:05:33Was Ava at the door just now?

00:05:35Did she hear everything we said about her being cheap?

00:05:38So what if she did?

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

00:05:41Unless she wants to go back to the slums

00:05:42and beg for food.

00:05:45Mmm, so sweet.

00:05:46Logan, this personal assistant you keep

00:05:49really is better at cutting fruit

00:05:50than the hired help outside.

00:05:52Everyone thinks I'll break down,

00:05:53but I'm actually more cling-headed than anyone.

00:05:55In these five years,

00:05:56he never gave me love,

00:05:57and I, in turn,

00:05:58never 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

00:06:07just now way so much

00:06:08she have any reaction at all.

00:06:09Doesn't she care?

00:06:10Logan, we're partying here

00:06:11while the executive vice president

00:06:13is busy alone in the kitchen.

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

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

00:06:18Let's keep playing.

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

00:06:23Come 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

00:06:32Elena's return home.

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

00:06:35This drink is to wish you

00:06:36a triumphant entry

00:06:37into the Vanderbilt Group

00:06:38upon your return

00:06:39and a brilliant future.

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

00:06:42I really can't drink

00:06:43something that I'm strong.

00:06:44old classmate.

00:06:45That's not very considerate,

00:06:47is it?

00:06:47You have to at least

00:06:48make a gesture.

00:06:49Elena is delicate

00:06:50and can't handle

00:06:51this kind of thing.

00:06:52Ava, come here

00:06:53and drink it for her.

00:06:55Fine.

00:07:03Logan, you're spoiling Elena

00:07:05too much.

00:07:06Anyone who toasts her,

00:07:07you make Ava take the hit?

00:07:09Abba has a high tolerance.

00:07:11A little of this strong liquor

00:07:12won't hurt her.

00:07:13Then I have to toast

00:07:14the goddess too.

00:07:15Ava, cheers.

00:07:16Everything is about to end.

00:07:18In these last few days

00:07:19with Logan,

00:07:19I won't refuse

00:07:20any requests you make.

00:07:24Ava, thank you

00:07:25for your hard work.

00:07:26I really wouldn't know

00:07:27what to do without you.

00:07:28So, even someone

00:07:29as arrogant and self-hortant

00:07:31as Logan

00:07:31can be tender-hearted.

00:07:32It's a pity

00:07:33that the one

00:07:33who helps in the prom

00:07:34is going to never be me.

00:07:40I don't like hearing

00:07:41those classmates

00:07:42linking you with Ava,

00:07:43even if she's

00:07:44just a substitute.

00:07:45Baby,

00:07:46my heart is yours.

00:07:47Ava is just our servant.

00:07:49You had a few glasses

00:07:51of champagne.

00:07:52Are you feeling dizzy?

00:07:53Don't be jealous

00:07:54for no reason.

00:07:55I've already declared

00:07:55to everyone

00:07:56that you are

00:07:57the future mistress

00:07:58of the group.

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

00:08:01Ava,

00:08:01you are really drunk.

00:08:03Let Logan drive you

00:08:03back to your apartment.

00:08:05No need.

00:08:05I can walk by myself.

00:08:07I have important business

00:08:08to attend to.

00:08:09Take a taxi yourself.

00:08:10Ava, don't make me think

00:08:11you can't even

00:08:11take care of yourself.

00:08:32Ava,

00:08:32didn't I tell you

00:08:33to find a man

00:08:34as a shield immediately?

00:08:35Why is there still

00:08:36no movement?

00:08:37I just finished

00:08:38being forced to drink

00:08:39by you,

00:08:40Mr. Logan.

00:08:41Don't play the victim

00:08:42with me.

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

00:08:46Are you still holding on

00:08:47to some unrealistic

00:08:48fantasy about me?

00:08:53I didn't,

00:08:54Mr. Logan.

00:08:54Don't worry.

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

00:08:56Don't lie.

00:08:57Elena is starting

00:08:58to suspect us.

00:08:59I won't allow you

00:09:00to tarnish the pure love

00:09:02between her and me.

00:09:03Don't worry.

00:09:04One more week

00:09:05and I'll disappear

00:09:06completely from your world.

00:09:09So eager to jump

00:09:10into someone else's arms.

00:09:12That shield better

00:09:13be a decent one.

00:09:14Don't embarrass me.

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

00:09:26You're so obedient.

00:09:27It's disgusting.

00:09:30Logan, I miss you.

00:09:31Can I move into

00:09:32your villa tomorrow?

00:09:33Of course, baby.

00:09:35My room is always

00:09:36waiting for you.

00:09:39Pick me and Elena

00:09:40up at 8 tomorrow morning

00:09:41to go to the company.

00:09:46What are your plans

00:09:47after returning?

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

00:09:49I want to help you

00:09:50with the Vandeboe group.

00:09:51I don't want to be

00:09:51just a freeloader.

00:09:53Good.

00:09:54I'll give you

00:09:55a surprise later.

00:09:56I want the whole world

00:09:58to know who the real

00:09:58mistress of this company is.

00:10:00Actually, I got a top-tier

00:10:01master's in finance abroad

00:10:02just to help you.

00:10:05We're here.

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

00:10:08We should keep our distance.

00:10:09I don't want people saying

00:10:10I got the job

00:10:11through connections.

00:10:12That wouldn't be noble.

00:10:13See?

00:10:14She's still as pure

00:10:15and independent

00:10:15as she was in college.

00:10:17Newman nowadays

00:10:17will do anything

00:10:18to climb the ladder.

00:10:19From a simple general

00:10:20and her considered it,

00:10:21maybe she's the only one.

00:10:22Notify the board.

00:10:24We're having an all-hands

00:10:25executive meeting

00:10:25in ten minutes.

00:10:26I have major

00:10:27per-personnel changes.

00:10:28All right.

00:10:29I'll take care of it

00:10:30right away.

00:10:34I heard there will be

00:10:35a major personnel

00:10:35announcement today.

00:10:36Ava doubled

00:10:37the company's performance,

00:10:38so she's definitely

00:10:38getting promoted

00:10:39to co-CEO

00:10:40at the headquarters.

00:10:41Naturally.

00:10:41Vanderbilt Group

00:10:42has relied entirely

00:10:43on Ava

00:10:43for the past five years.

00:10:44Based on merit,

00:10:45it has to be her.

00:10:46Ava, don't forget about us

00:10:47when you get promoted.

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

00:10:51Only one thing

00:10:52will be announced today

00:10:55regarding the appointment

00:10:56of the former

00:10:56executive vice president,

00:10:58Ava.

00:10:58Congratulations.

00:10:59Is Ava being transferred

00:11:00to the New York headquarters

00:11:01as CEO?

00:11:02No.

00:11:03I announce

00:11:04Ava is hereby relieved

00:11:06of her position

00:11:06as executive vice president

00:11:08and demoted to

00:11:09vice president's assistant.

00:11:11What?

00:11:12Demoted instead of promoted?

00:11:13To an assistant?

00:11:14Mr. Logan,

00:11:15Ava generated

00:11:16a billion dollars in profit

00:11:17for the company last year.

00:11:18And the person

00:11:19taking over

00:11:19the vice president position

00:11:20is a financial genius

00:11:21we just recruited

00:11:22from Cambridge,

00:11:23Miss Elena.

00:11:25Hello, everyone.

00:11:27Although I lack

00:11:27practical experience,

00:11:28I believe my

00:11:29international perspective

00:11:30is more suited

00:11:31to leading the company

00:11:31to a higher level.

00:11:32This is absurd.

00:11:33Replacing a meritorious

00:11:34vice president

00:11:35with an inexperienced rookie?

00:11:36Enough!

00:11:37Who is the master

00:11:38of this company?

00:11:39My word is the command.

00:11:41Ava,

00:11:42as an assistant,

00:11:43you'd better do

00:11:44your utmost

00:11:45to help Elena

00:11:45familiar herself with business.

00:11:47If she makes

00:11:47the slightest mistake,

00:11:49I'll hold you curble.

00:11:50Okay.

00:11:52Ava,

00:11:53are you crazy?

00:11:54This is too humiliating.

00:11:55I have never objected

00:11:57to Mr. Logan's decisions.

00:11:58Vice president Elena,

00:12:00please follow me

00:12:00to your office.

00:12:01Then I'll trouble you,

00:12:02assistant Ava.

00:12:04This is your office.

00:12:05Assistant Ava,

00:12:07there's a bit of dust

00:12:08on the tip of my shoe.

00:12:09Since you were so skilled

00:12:11at serving Logan before now,

00:12:12clean it for me too.

00:12:18Is Elena crazy?

00:12:19She's actually making

00:12:20Ava clean her shoes?

00:12:21This is a downright insult

00:12:22to her dignity.

00:12:23Don't be impulsive.

00:12:24APA must have her reasons

00:12:25for doing this.

00:12:28Oh my God,

00:12:29Ava's really kneeling down

00:12:30to clean them?

00:12:31This is absurd.

00:12:32Ava,

00:12:33I'm warning you.

00:12:34Back then,

00:12:35it was because of me

00:12:35that Logan even gave you

00:12:36a second glance.

00:12:37Without me,

00:12:38you'd still be washing dishes

00:12:39in the slums.

00:12:40It's thanks to my face

00:12:41that you've climbed

00:12:42to where you are today.

00:12:43Does it hurt?

00:12:44Remember this feeling

00:12:45of lowiness.

00:12:46You're nothing but a dog

00:12:47I've graciously allowed

00:12:48to exist.

00:12:49Don't even think about

00:12:50overstepping your bounds

00:12:51and don't you dare

00:12:51try to seduce my Logan.

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

00:12:55I'm very clear about my place

00:12:56in Mr. Logan's heart.

00:12:58I've never coveted things

00:12:59that don't belong to me.

00:13:00Stubborn words are useless.

00:13:03Honey,

00:13:03want to go see a movie tonight?

00:13:04There's a new project

00:13:05at Universal Studios.

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

00:13:07Okay,

00:13:07see you then.

00:13:08You already have a boyfriend?

00:13:10Logan,

00:13:11I have good news for you.

00:13:12Ava has a boyfriend.

00:13:13I thought she had a crush

00:13:13on you all along.

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

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

00:13:17The relationship between me

00:13:18and President Logan

00:13:18is purely one of sponsorship

00:13:19and employment.

00:13:20I've never had

00:13:21any appropriate thoughts.

00:13:22For and over,

00:13:23I love my boyfriend very much.

00:13:24Damn it.

00:13:25I just told her last night

00:13:26to find a male companion

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

00:13:29Is there really not

00:13:30an angle place for me

00:13:30in her heart?

00:13:31Perfect.

00:13:32In a few days,

00:13:32there's a company team building event

00:13:33to celebrate my appointment.

00:13:35Ava,

00:13:35bring your nonpoing along.

00:13:36Let's see you just

00:13:37huck stranding the man

00:13:37who chunk her on

00:13:38an or new Jillian Drenrys.

00:13:39Yes,

00:13:40I'm also him curious.

00:13:41Ava,

00:13:42bring him long then.

00:13:43No problem.

00:13:44Mr. Logan,

00:13:44we have an appointment

00:13:45with Mr. Grant

00:13:46from Grant Financial Group

00:13:47to sign the contract.

00:13:48It's the most important

00:13:48order of the year.

00:13:49Elena,

00:13:50this deal is crucial

00:13:51for the company's IPO.

00:13:52We must secure it.

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

00:13:54With my overseas background,

00:13:55I guarantee

00:13:55we'll nail the negotiation beautifully.

00:13:59Mr. Grant,

00:14:00this is Ms. Elena,

00:14:01the company's new vice president.

00:14:02She is fully responsible

00:14:03for today's contract

00:14:04renewal negotiation.

00:14:05What?

00:14:05I remember Grant Financial's

00:14:07business has always

00:14:07been handled by you.

00:14:08Who is this

00:14:09administrative rookie?

00:14:10Mr. Grant,

00:14:11Ava is now just my assistant.

00:14:12The future of Vandert Group

00:14:14is controlled by elites

00:14:15like me

00:14:15with an international vision.

00:14:17Please sign.

00:14:18I hope your abilities

00:14:19are as impressive

00:14:19as 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

00:14:25are you talking about?

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

00:14:27about compensating...

00:14:28Stop pretending.

00:14:29I've seen plenty

00:14:31of self-righteous men

00:14:32like you.

00:14:32It's disgusting.

00:14:33Don't think just because

00:14:34you're rich,

00:14:35you can casually harass women.

00:14:36You dare hit me?

00:14:38I'm hitting you,

00:14:39you pervert!

00:14:39I'll use Logan's connections

00:14:40to ruin your reputation

00:14:41in New York!

00:14:42Vandert Group

00:14:43letting a paranoid lunark

00:14:44like this be vice president

00:14:44means bankruptcy

00:14:45is just around the corner.

00:14:46The deal is off

00:14:47and I will withdraw

00:14:48all funding from Grant Financial.

00:14:49Mr. Grant,

00:14:50this is a misunderstanding.

00:14:51Please let me explain.

00:14:52Ava, I pity you

00:14:53wasting your talent

00:14:54in this garbage dump.

00:14:55Vandert Group

00:14:56is finished.

00:14:59Elena,

00:14:59if you've destroyed

00:15:00companies' most important changing...

00:15:01It's just some disgusting man

00:15:02who 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

00:15:26to be my boyfriend

00:15:27for one night?

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

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

00:15:34I'm a professional.

00:15:35I guarantee

00:15:36I'll make your colleagues stare.

00:15:38Remember,

00:15:39talk less later.

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

00:15:41Don't worry.

00:15:41I'm certified

00:15:42in playing the affectionate

00:15:43puppy dog type.

00:15:47Wow, Ava.

00:15:48This couldn't be your

00:15:49Mr. Right, could it?

00:15:50That outfit is terrifying.

00:15:52Little brother,

00:15:53what high position

00:15:54do you hold?

00:15:54Hello, sis.

00:15:55I'm the hottest face blogger

00:15:56on the entire internet.

00:15:57Search for Gritzaukes

00:15:58to find me,

00:15:59remember to follow,

00:15:59and send me a sports car.

00:16:00Logan,

00:16:01your former vice president's

00:16:02taste is truly unique.

00:16:03But then again,

00:16:04this kind of influencer

00:16:05who lives off their looks

00:16:06is a perfect match

00:16:06for her status.

00:16:07Ava,

00:16:08I never thought

00:16:09your taste was this poor

00:16:10that you'd stoop so low

00:16:11as to hire

00:16:11such a cheap performer.

00:16:13Why not?

00:16:14In my heart,

00:16:15he's much more genuine

00:16:16than those hypocritical elites.

00:16:19True.

00:16:20Bottom feeders love

00:16:21this kind of influencer

00:16:22the most.

00:16:23By the way,

00:16:23all the guests have arrived.

00:16:25Didn't you say

00:16:25you had a special

00:16:26welcome back gift for me?

00:16:28Hey,

00:16:29I haven't even started

00:16:30showing 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

00:16:35has been sent.

00:16:36Go.

00:16:36Thanks, sponsor sis.

00:16:45Lena,

00:16:45this is a welcome gift

00:16:46to celebrate

00:16:47your official entry

00:16:48into the Vanderbilt group.

00:16:50Oh!

00:16:51Darling,

00:16:52it's so beautiful.

00:16:53It's perfect.

00:16:57Ava,

00:16:58does this Rolex

00:16:59look good

00:16:59with my skin tone?

00:17:03It does.

00:17:07If it weren't for paying off

00:17:09that astronomical debt

00:17:10for my family,

00:17:11I wouldn't have sold myself

00:17:12to Logan.

00:17:13I could have had

00:17:14the purest love too,

00:17:15right?

00:17:26Miss Ava,

00:17:27tomorrow is the day

00:17:28you officially take over

00:17:29as CEO of Liberty Financial.

00:17:31Mr. Liam and I

00:17:32are both waiting for you.

00:17:34Don't worry,

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

00:17:36The contract is signed

00:17:37and I won't break it.

00:17:38Excellent.

00:17:39We are very much

00:17:41looking forward

00:17:41to your leadership.

00:17:42The time for farewell

00:17:43has finally come.

00:17:44Logan,

00:17:45thank you for the

00:17:46financial support back then,

00:17:47for saving my

00:17:48critically ill mother

00:17:49and for giving me

00:17:50a foothold

00:17:50in this cold city.

00:17:51Thank you for giving me

00:17:52the dream of a rebirth,

00:17:53even though I knew

00:17:54that in your heart,

00:17:55I would always be

00:17:56just a humble shadow.

00:17:57I heard you're

00:17:58the poorest student

00:17:59who needs money the most.

00:18:00Help me win over Elena

00:18:01and I'll fund you

00:18:02through college.

00:18:05Elena,

00:18:06don't leave me.

00:18:09For these five years,

00:18:11I've dutifully served

00:18:12as his substitute,

00:18:13accompanying him

00:18:14through his darkest hours.

00:18:16In my heart,

00:18:16you were once

00:18:17an unreachable star,

00:18:18but I'm tired.

00:18:19Goodbye,

00:18:20my former obsession.

00:18:21Goodbye,

00:18:22my shattered youth.

00:18:23Chairman Logan,

00:18:26this glass,

00:18:27I toast to you.

00:18:28Thank you for all

00:18:29your care over the years.

00:18:31Today I'd like to talk

00:18:31to you about my

00:18:32Chairman,

00:18:33it's terrible.

00:18:33Grant Financial

00:18:34just formally issued

00:18:35a legal letter

00:18:36announcing a complete

00:18:37withdrawal of investment

00:18:38and suing us

00:18:39for a bridge of contract.

00:18:40The company's stock price

00:18:40has already hit the limit down.

00:18:46Chairman,

00:18:47something terrible

00:18:48has happened.

00:18:49Grant Financial

00:18:49has not only

00:18:50dominated all cooperation,

00:18:52but has also joined forces

00:18:53with the four major

00:18:54investment banks

00:18:54on Wall Street

00:18:55to launch a comprehensive

00:18:56blockade against us.

00:18:58How is that possible?

00:19:00Grant has been

00:19:00our staunch ally

00:19:01for five years.

00:19:02Why would they

00:19:03suddenly turn against us?

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

00:19:05Vice President Elena

00:19:06maliciously speculated

00:19:07that Chairman Grant

00:19:08was peeping at her

00:19:09and even slapped him

00:19:10in public.

00:19:11He insulted me first.

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

00:19:14I was just defending

00:19:14my dignity as a woman.

00:19:16Ava,

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

00:19:18Are you dead?

00:19:19Grant Financial

00:19:20is the source

00:19:20of half of our company's funding.

00:19:22Don't you understand

00:19:23the consequences

00:19:23of offending such a giant?

00:19:25If you had stopped

00:19:25this foolish behavior in time,

00:19:27how could things

00:19:28have got this rotten?

00:19:29Chair dot.

00:19:30Miss Ava tried her best

00:19:31to stop it

00:19:31and even demanded

00:19:32Elena apologize immediately.

00:19:33It was Elena

00:19:34who wouldn't listen

00:19:35and even threatened Miss Ava.

00:19:36That's right.

00:19:36If Miss Ava

00:19:37hadn't intervened,

00:19:38Elena would have

00:19:39probably torn

00:19:39the other party

00:19:40to shreds

00:19:40right there

00:19:41in the conference room.

00:19:43Ava,

00:19:43even if she stopped you,

00:19:45couldn't you have

00:19:45called me directly?

00:19:46Where is your professionalism?

00:19:47You actually concealed

00:19:48such a catastrophic disaster

00:19:49and didn't report it.

00:19:50Chairman,

00:19:51President Amba

00:19:52was about to report it

00:19:53at the time,

00:19:53but Vice President Elena

00:19:55said she would communicate

00:19:56with you personally.

00:19:57It seems she didn't

00:19:57mention a single word.

00:19:58Honey,

00:19:59I just wanted to find

00:19:59the right time to explain.

00:20:01I didn't know

00:20:01that man would be so petty.

00:20:02Chairman,

00:20:03the board of directors

00:20:03at headquarters

00:20:04demands you return

00:20:05for a meeting immediately.

00:20:06They hope you give

00:20:06a reasonable explanation.

00:20:09Ava,

00:20:10come with me.

00:20:19Elena just joined

00:20:20Vanderbilt Group.

00:20:21She is my chosen

00:20:22future wife

00:20:22and her record

00:20:23absolutely cannot

00:20:24have any blemish.

00:20:26So,

00:20:27you plan to make

00:20:28me the scapegoat?

00:20:29I will personally

00:20:29submit a report

00:20:30to the board.

00:20:31It will state

00:20:32that it was your

00:20:32overstepping and privation

00:20:33that angered Mr. Grant

00:20:35and led to the

00:20:35withdrawal of funds.

00:20:36Don't worry.

00:20:37Once the dust settles,

00:20:39I'll find a way

00:20:39to bring you back.

00:20:40Making me take

00:20:41the bullet for him again.

00:20:42In these five years,

00:20:43how many messes

00:20:44have I cleaned up for him?

00:20:45How many times

00:20:46I've been the fall guy?

00:20:47Logan,

00:20:47how can you be

00:20:48so at ease

00:20:48without even

00:20:49a seal of quills?

00:20:51Logan,

00:20:52one should be responsible

00:20:53for one's own actions.

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

00:20:56just let me resign

00:20:56and take the blame.

00:20:57I don't want to see you

00:20:58in a difficult position

00:20:59because of me.

00:21:01Ava,

00:21:01do you really need me

00:21:02to beg you?

00:21:03You handled taking

00:21:04the fall so perfectly before.

00:21:05Why are you acting

00:21:06so unwilling

00:21:06in front of Elena?

00:21:07Don't you know

00:21:07your stubbornness now

00:21:08is destroying

00:21:09all our hard work?

00:21:14Fine.

00:21:15This one last time.

00:21:17I'll take the bullet

00:21:18for you one last time.

00:21:21Why did she agree

00:21:21so readily?

00:21:22Why is she leaving

00:21:23so decisively this time?

00:21:25Could it be

00:21:25I really went too far?

00:21:27Darling,

00:21:27stop thinking

00:21:28about that assistant.

00:21:29She took your money.

00:21:30It's her honor

00:21:30to take the fall for me.

00:21:31Today is my first

00:21:32celebration after

00:21:33joining the company.

00:21:33Don't keep the executives

00:21:34waiting.

00:21:35What are you feeling

00:21:36guilty about?

00:21:37Ava is just a dog.

00:21:39Even if she occasionally

00:21:40gets upset,

00:21:41long you give her

00:21:42some luxury goods,

00:21:43she like Logri Chen-Ni

00:21:45at your foot

00:21:45that's your runt.

00:21:47Let's go.

00:21:48Tonight,

00:21:48you are the only star.

00:21:55What are you doing here?

00:21:57Mr. Grant,

00:21:58I am here on behalf

00:21:59of the group

00:21:59to formally apologize

00:22:00to you.

00:22:02To Vice President Elena

00:22:03and to the glory

00:22:04that awaits us.

00:22:05Congratulations,

00:22:06Elena.

00:22:07Cheers.

00:22:07Get out with your

00:22:08chief apology.

00:22:09Tell Logan to kneel

00:22:10before me himself

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

00:22:17In New York,

00:22:18no one dares to touch

00:22:19Grant's face.

00:22:19You want to make peace?

00:22:21Dream on.

00:22:22Mr. Grant,

00:22:22I take full responsibility

00:22:24for this matter.

00:22:24As long as you can

00:22:25calm down,

00:22:26we are willing to bear

00:22:27all 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

00:22:33the lawyer's letter.

00:22:34Fine.

00:22:34Wait a minute.

00:22:35Since you're taking the blame

00:22:36for someone else,

00:22:37you should at least

00:22:38have the posture

00:22:38of begging, right?

00:22:40Drink on your knee.

00:22:41That's right.

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

00:22:43no one who asks Grant

00:22:44for a favor

00:22:45does it standing up.

00:22:47What?

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

00:22:50Then get out.

00:23:11Elena,

00:23:12the future of the Vanderbilt group

00:23:13depends on you

00:23:14to lead us to new heights.

00:23:16Congratulations, Miss Elena,

00:23:18on securing your throne.

00:23:19Cheers.

00:23:20Cheers.

00:23:24I wonder if that woman Ava

00:23:26can get Grant's

00:23:26letter of understanding.

00:23:51Oh my God!

00:23:52Ava just released

00:23:53a public statement.

00:23:53She announced

00:23:54she takes full responsibility

00:23:55for the Grant withdrawal incident

00:23:57and is formally resigning.

00:24:01Resigning?

00:24:02She dares to resign?

00:24:05Ava!

00:24:06What the hell

00:24:07are you trying to do?

00:24:08Who gave you permission

00:24:09to leave me

00:24:09at a time like this?

00:24:11Why is Logan

00:24:11losing control like this

00:24:13just because Ava resigned?

00:24:14That look in his eyes.

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

00:24:17Could it be

00:24:17he still loves Ava?

00:24:22You're funding back then

00:24:23allowed me to finish college.

00:24:25You truly were

00:24:26the only beam of light

00:24:27in the darkest night

00:24:28of my life.

00:24:29Over these five years,

00:24:30I've made you

00:24:31profits a hundredfold.

00:24:32All my savings

00:24:33are in this card.

00:24:34Enough to offset

00:24:35all your benedulency

00:24:36from back then.

00:24:37Goodbye forever, Logan.

00:24:43Ava,

00:24:44these reports

00:24:44must be redone

00:24:45before the end

00:24:45of the day today.

00:24:46Also, go to that

00:24:47Michelin-starred restaurant

00:24:48at Moon and queue up

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

00:24:50Logan likes their truffles.

00:24:52You can keep this garbage

00:24:52and chew on it yourself.

00:24:54As for making a reservation,

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

00:24:56that your legs are broken,

00:24:58go roll over there yourself.

00:25:00I'm no longer

00:25:00an employee here.

00:25:01You have no right

00:25:02to order me around.

00:25:03Ava,

00:25:03where do you get the nerve

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

00:25:05Without me,

00:25:06you're not even fit

00:25:07to shine Logan's shoes

00:25:08since you want to get lost.

00:25:09Get lost far away.

00:25:10Disappear from New York

00:25:11completely and don't come back

00:25:12wagging your tail

00:25:13like a stray dog.

00:25:13Elena,

00:25:14you've played the part

00:25:15of that pure money

00:25:16disdaining white moonite

00:25:17very successfully.

00:25:18But remember,

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

00:25:20When Logan discovers

00:25:21the rot beneath

00:25:21that skin of yours,

00:25:22I hope you can still

00:25:23smile so brightly.

00:25:35Chairman,

00:25:36the accounts are settled.

00:25:38Thank you for the hell

00:25:39you've given me

00:25:40all these years.

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

00:25:52Ava,

00:25:53you really left?

00:25:56How dare she leave

00:25:57without my permission?

00:26:01Ava,

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

00:26:03on the board

00:26:03to keep you.

00:26:04I haven't approved

00:26:05this resignation report yet.

00:26:06Get back to the company

00:26:07right now.

00:26:09Chairman Logan,

00:26:10there's no need.

00:26:10The nature of this

00:26:11withdrawal incident

00:26:12is extremely severe.

00:26:14Vanderbilt Group

00:26:14must give the other party

00:26:15an explanation

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

00:26:18You make a good point.

00:26:19Let's ride out

00:26:19this storm first.

00:26:20Once those old guys

00:26:21calm down,

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

00:26:23Also,

00:26:24take that black card

00:26:25on the table.

00:26:25It's your compensation.

00:26:27I never intended for you

00:26:28to pay back

00:26:28that tuition money.

00:26:29Chairman,

00:26:30I don't like owing debts

00:26:31and I especially

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

00:26:33The money in that card

00:26:34was what you funded me

00:26:35with for university.

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

00:26:37Ava,

00:26:38because I let Elena

00:26:39take your position

00:26:39and made you take

00:26:40the fall for her

00:26:41that you're unhappy?

00:26:42You have to understand

00:26:43my predicament.

00:26:44Elena just returned

00:26:45to the country.

00:26:45She needs a perfect resume

00:26:47to solidify her position

00:26:48in the company.

00:26:49Your abilities are known

00:26:50throughout New York.

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

00:26:52it won't hurt

00:26:53your foundation at all.

00:26:54I'm not angry.

00:26:55In fact,

00:26:56I'm even grateful

00:26:56for taking this fall.

00:26:57It made me realize

00:26:58how liberating freedom feels.

00:27:00Where exactly

00:27:00are you planning to go?

00:27:01To a place

00:27:02where there's no more

00:27:03you and Elena.

00:27:04Isn't that what

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

00:27:06From now on,

00:27:08no one will stand

00:27:08in the way

00:27:09of your white mood line

00:27:10anymore.

00:27:11I...

00:27:11Ava,

00:27:12listen to me.

00:27:14The boarding announcement

00:27:15is on.

00:29:33to lead Liberty Financial

00:29:35to conquer Wall Street

00:29:37and create glory

00:29:39that belongs to us.

00:29:42All right.

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

00:29:52Ava,

00:29:52Elena has officially

00:29:54accepted my proposal.

00:29:55We're having

00:29:56a celebration party

00:29:57at the penthouse

00:29:58tonight.

00:29:58You should come.

00:29:59Elena said

00:30:00she wants you

00:30:00to witness

00:30:01our happiest moment

00:30:02with your own eyes.

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

00:30:06That kind of moment

00:30:06belongs only

00:30:07to the two of you.

00:30:08There's no need

00:30:09to share it

00:30:09with an outsider.

00:30:10Congratulations.

00:30:11Ava,

00:30:11are you still

00:30:12sulking with me

00:30:13over the scapegoat incident?

00:30:14When did you become

00:30:14so petty,

00:30:15so unreasonable?

00:30:16You should understand

00:30:17my disfella.

00:30:18It 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

00:30:35your kindness

00:30:36with five years

00:30:37of my freedom.

00:30:38From now on,

00:30:38our worlds

00:30:39will no longer intersect.

00:30:41My life

00:30:41is only truly

00:30:42beginning now.

00:30:49Ava!

00:30:50You damn woman,

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

00:30:52but you actually

00:30:53dared to hang up on me.

00:30:55She's getting more

00:30:56Nergaldenus.

00:30:57Sorry,

00:30:58the number you died

00:30:59is powered out.

00:31:00Darling,

00:31:01Ava must still

00:31:01be angry with me.

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

00:31:04How about

00:31:05on our wedding day?

00:31:06I go and invite

00:31:07her personally.

00:31:09I believe

00:31:10she'll eventually

00:31:11bless us

00:31:11with tears

00:31:12in her eyes.

00:31:19Exactly.

00:31:20What right

00:31:21does she have

00:31:21to refuse me?

00:31:23Everything she has

00:31:24now was given

00:31:24by me.

00:31:26She's nothing

00:31:27but a dog

00:31:27I raised.

00:31:29It won't be long

00:31:30before she gets

00:31:31knocked around

00:31:31and bruised

00:31:32out there

00:31:33and then obediently

00:31:34crawls back,

00:31:35begging me

00:31:36to take her in.

00:31:38But why

00:31:39did her tone

00:31:39sound so unfamiliar

00:31:40just now?

00:31:41This feeling

00:31:42of losing my grip,

00:31:43could it really

00:31:43be just an illusion?

00:31:44Why do I have

00:31:45this feeling

00:31:46that she's going

00:31:46to disappear

00:31:47from my side?

00:32:04Ava,

00:32:05welcome to

00:32:05Liberty Financial.

00:32:07From today on,

00:32:08this is your stage.

00:32:11Chairman,

00:32:12we have a major

00:32:12problem.

00:32:13Our merger

00:32:13negotiations

00:32:14with Everett Group

00:32:14have completely

00:32:15reached a deadlock.

00:32:16The other party's

00:32:16chief negotiator

00:32:17suddenly turned

00:32:18hostile,

00:32:18demanding an

00:32:19additional 20%

00:32:20of equity shares

00:32:20on op of the

00:32:21original terms

00:32:21or they'll terminate

00:32:22the cooperation

00:32:23immediately.

00:32:24What?

00:32:24We've been

00:32:25preparing for this

00:32:25project for five

00:32:26whole years,

00:32:27investing hundreds

00:32:28of millions

00:32:28of dollars

00:32:29in upfront capital.

00:32:30If it collapses

00:32:30now,

00:32:31the group's cash

00:32:31flow will dry up

00:32:32instantly.

00:32:33We won't be

00:32:33able to hold on.

00:32:35Are the people

00:32:35they sent that guy

00:32:36nicked him the

00:32:37vulture miller

00:32:37and they notoriously

00:32:38greedy Harrison?

00:32:39Yes,

00:32:40it's them.

00:32:42These two are

00:32:43notoriously difficult

00:32:44to deal with

00:32:44on Wall Street.

00:32:45They don't play

00:32:46by any professional

00:32:47rules.

00:32:49What a coincidence.

00:32:51Back at the

00:32:51Vanderbilt Group,

00:32:52I almost drive

00:32:53those two into

00:32:54bankruptcy.

00:32:54They're my

00:32:55old rivals.

00:32:58Leave this

00:32:59project to me.

00:33:03Chairman,

00:33:04who is she?

00:33:05Isn't it too risky

00:33:06to hand over

00:33:06such a big project

00:33:07to a new face?

00:33:08Let me formally

00:33:09introduce to everyone.

00:33:10This is the company's

00:33:11newly assigned

00:33:12executive vice

00:33:13president and

00:33:14chief operating

00:33:14officer,

00:33:15Ava.

00:33:16Hello,

00:33:16everyone.

00:33:17I'm Ava.

00:33:18Transfer all the

00:33:19core materials

00:33:19in our tumbles

00:33:20to President Ava.

00:33:21She has the highest

00:33:22decisioning authority

00:33:23for the coming

00:33:23negotiations.

00:33:24Understood.

00:33:28Ava,

00:33:29I've waited five

00:33:29years just to

00:33:30be able to stand

00:33:31at the pinnacle

00:33:32of Wall Street

00:33:32with you side

00:33:33by side.

00:33:34I firmly believe

00:33:35you will never

00:33:35let me down.

00:33:36Ava,

00:33:37she is a top

00:33:38class hunter

00:33:39on Wall Street.

00:33:41I believe

00:33:41she won't miss.

00:33:42Charent,

00:33:43is she really

00:33:44capable?

00:33:45The other

00:33:45kime is notoriously

00:33:46stingy on Wall

00:33:47Street.

00:33:48This President

00:33:49Ava is a war

00:33:49goddess,

00:33:50the chairman

00:33:50personally snatched

00:33:51from the hands

00:33:52of New York's

00:33:53top financial

00:33:53magnets.

00:33:54On Wall

00:33:55Street,

00:33:55no one

00:33:55wants to face

00:33:56her at the

00:33:56negotiation table.

00:33:57Open your eyes

00:33:58wide and see

00:33:59clearly.

00:34:00This is the

00:34:00true king

00:34:00of top-tier

00:34:01Brezis negotiation.

00:34:10Miller Harrison,

00:34:11long time

00:34:12no see?

00:34:14Ava,

00:34:14what are you

00:34:15doing here?

00:34:16I'm now in

00:34:17charge of the

00:34:18acquisition for

00:34:18this Liberty

00:34:19financial project.

00:34:20I never imagined

00:34:21our opponent

00:34:22would be you.

00:34:23So what's

00:34:24who are left

00:34:24to discuss?

00:34:25We've

00:34:26experienced

00:34:26your methods

00:34:26firsthand.

00:34:27All those

00:34:28underhanded

00:34:29negotiation tactics

00:34:30are just a

00:34:30waste of time

00:34:31in front of

00:34:31you.

00:34:32Then sign.

00:34:34No problem.

00:34:35You are the

00:34:36guarantee of

00:34:36industry credibility.

00:34:38We can drive a

00:34:38hard bargain with

00:34:39rookies, but with

00:34:40you, we value

00:34:41long-term

00:34:42cooperation more.

00:34:43Smart.

00:34:44Liberty

00:34:44Financial will

00:34:45provide you with

00:34:46top-tier

00:34:46investment banking

00:34:47support in

00:34:48return.

00:34:49Am I seeing

00:34:49things?

00:34:50That tough nut

00:34:51we've been trying

00:34:51to crack for

00:34:51five years and

00:34:52she got it

00:34:52signed in less

00:34:53than five minutes?

00:34:54This isn't a

00:34:54negotiation.

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

00:34:56of domination.

00:34:56Incredible.

00:34:57Is this Ava's

00:34:58true power?

00:34:59Simply amazing.

00:35:00Our company's

00:35:01about to take

00:35:01off.

00:35:02Senior, you're

00:35:03still the queen

00:35:03everyone looks

00:35:04up to.

00:35:04With you, Liberty

00:35:05Financial is about

00:35:06to experience a

00:35:07dreamlike leap

00:35:08forward.

00:35:11Pleasure doing

00:35:12business.

00:35:15Pleasure doing

00:35:16business.

00:35:17Ava, Logan is

00:35:18truly insane to

00:35:19let go of a

00:35:20partner of your

00:35:20caliber.

00:35:21You flatter

00:35:22me, Miller.

00:35:23That's not just

00:35:24politeness.

00:35:25If we had

00:35:26known earlier

00:35:26that you were

00:35:27leaving that

00:35:27troublesome

00:35:27company, we

00:35:29would have

00:35:29offered double

00:35:29the equity to

00:35:30poach you.

00:35:32Since you

00:35:32both trust me

00:35:33so much, we'll

00:35:33be allies in

00:35:34Los Angeles from

00:35:35now on.

00:35:35It's a deal.

00:35:37See you again.

00:35:41Miss Ava, how

00:35:43on earth did

00:35:43you do it?

00:35:44They're known as

00:35:45the devil's

00:35:45representatives who

00:35:46never concede.

00:35:48The essence of

00:35:49business is the

00:35:50equivalent exchange

00:35:51of resources.

00:35:53As long as you

00:35:54see through the

00:35:55other party's

00:35:56weakness and offer

00:35:57a bargaining chip

00:35:57they can't refuse,

00:35:59success is a

00:36:00matter of course.

00:36:05As expected of

00:36:06my senior, with

00:36:07you on board,

00:36:08Liberty Financial

00:36:09is destined to

00:36:10shine on Wall

00:36:11Street.

00:36:11I'm honored to

00:36:12join the Liberty

00:36:13Financial team.

00:36:17The terms of

00:36:18this offshore

00:36:19funds betting

00:36:20agreement are

00:36:21overwhelmingly in

00:36:22our favor.

00:36:23Is it really

00:36:24reliable?

00:36:25Of course.

00:36:26This is a project

00:36:27personally recommended

00:36:28by my classmate

00:36:29from Cambridge.

00:36:30There's absolutely

00:36:30no problem.

00:36:31Elena, with you

00:36:32by my side, I'm

00:36:33like a like wings.

00:36:35Once we sign

00:36:35this project, the

00:36:37market value of

00:36:37Vanderbilt Group can

00:36:38double this quarter

00:36:39and those old board

00:36:40members will have

00:36:41nothing to say.

00:36:42Am I better than

00:36:43that Ava, who

00:36:44all knows how to

00:36:45bear your head

00:36:45and work her?

00:36:46Her?

00:36:47She's not worth

00:36:48one ten-thousandth

00:36:49of you.

00:36:49As long as I help

00:36:50Logan secure these

00:36:51few more big deals

00:36:52and completely win

00:36:53his father's approval,

00:36:54I'll be the true

00:36:55mistress of the

00:36:56Vanderbilt family.

00:36:58So, how does it

00:36:59feel to be back

00:37:00at our alma mater?

00:37:01Much more relaxing

00:37:02than the office

00:37:03buildings in

00:37:03Manhattan, right?

00:37:04I never thought

00:37:05we'd reunite

00:37:06under these

00:37:06circumstances, but

00:37:08Liam, our

00:37:09meeting again, it

00:37:10probably wasn't a

00:37:11coincidence, was it?

00:37:15Actually, I've been

00:37:16silently watching you

00:37:17all these years.

00:37:19It's just that you

00:37:20were too close to

00:37:21Logan and never had

00:37:23a chance to step

00:37:23in.

00:37:24To be honest, I

00:37:25fell for you at

00:37:26first sight.

00:37:27I watched you

00:37:27compete in speech

00:37:28contests and dominate

00:37:29in debates.

00:37:30After graduation, I

00:37:32wanted to invite you

00:37:32to start a business

00:37:33together, but then I

00:37:34heard you join

00:37:35Logan's family

00:37:35business to pay off

00:37:36your debt.

00:37:37From the day I

00:37:37entered Vanderbilt, I

00:37:38never planned to stay

00:37:39for a lifetime.

00:37:40I was just repaying a

00:37:41debt.

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

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

00:37:44But I heard you

00:37:44were in a core

00:37:45position, holding

00:37:46all the lifelines

00:37:47of the company.

00:37:48How could that

00:37:48lunatic Logan bear

00:37:49to let you go?

00:37:50The world keeps

00:37:51turning without

00:37:51anyone.

00:37:52I'm not as

00:37:53indispensable as

00:37:53he thinks.

00:37:54I've done what

00:37:55needed to be done,

00:37:56repaid what needed

00:37:57to be repaid.

00:37:58We're even.

00:37:58I can disappear

00:37:59from his world

00:38:00with a clear

00:38:00conscience.

00:38:01Now that you've

00:38:02come to my side,

00:38:03I will never let

00:38:04go again.

00:38:07Chairman, something

00:38:07terrible has

00:38:08happened.

00:38:09Vice President

00:38:09Elena publicly

00:38:10fired our top

00:38:11salesperson,

00:38:11Carter, just

00:38:12because he was

00:38:1210 minutes late

00:38:13to the morning

00:38:13meeting.

00:38:14Carter was

00:38:15immediately poached

00:38:16by 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

00:38:23losses are at least

00:38:24$200 million.

00:38:26Who gave her

00:38:27permission to touch

00:38:28Carter?

00:38:28He's the pillar of

00:38:29our company's

00:38:30performance.

00:38:35Chairman, it gets

00:38:36worse.

00:38:36We just wired the

00:38:38$50 million advance

00:38:39for that overseas

00:38:39project Elena

00:38:40signed off of,

00:38:41and the recipient's

00:38:41account was

00:38:42instantly deactivated.

00:38:43We checked the

00:38:44FBI's blacklist.

00:38:45It's just a shell

00:38:46company for money

00:38:46laundering.

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

00:38:49What?

00:38:53Chairman, I

00:38:54personally half a

00:38:55month a month in

00:38:56Silicon Valley

00:38:57touched us as

00:38:58Saushal's genius

00:38:58Carter.

00:39:00With Ham on board,

00:39:01no one can touch

00:39:02Vanderbilt's and

00:39:03with North Mayer

00:39:03share.

00:39:04This man's

00:39:05background is

00:39:05indeed clean and

00:39:07formidable.

00:39:08And these offshore

00:39:09projects, I've been

00:39:10tracking them for two

00:39:11years.

00:39:11I've personally done

00:39:13all the risk

00:39:13assessments.

00:39:14As long as I'm

00:39:15here, none of your

00:39:16decisions will go

00:39:17wrong.

00:39:18Chairman, Elena

00:39:19just signed two

00:39:20$10 billion hedge

00:39:21agreements with

00:39:22European investment

00:39:22banks in your name.

00:39:23But according to our

00:39:24emergency due diligence,

00:39:26both companies are

00:39:26backed by nothing but

00:39:27shells and the

00:39:28risk is off the

00:39:28circus.

00:39:29Chairman, you have

00:39:30to make a decision

00:39:31or the company will

00:39:31be hollowed out.

00:39:45In such a short

00:39:47time, I've used my

00:39:48university connections

00:39:49to secure so many

00:39:51major projects for

00:39:52Logan.

00:39:53He must be looking

00:39:54at me in a new

00:39:55light now, finally

00:39:57realizing who his

00:39:58true partner in battle

00:39:59is.

00:40:03Investigate.

00:40:04The overseas

00:40:05parent companies of

00:40:06these two projects

00:40:07have no operational

00:40:09qualifications at all.

00:40:11They're all shell

00:40:11companies for money

00:40:13laundering.

00:40:14Chairman, the

00:40:16finance department just

00:40:17followed Miss Elena's

00:40:18urgent instructions and

00:40:19has already transferred

00:40:20all the down payments.

00:40:22all transferred, five hundred

00:40:25million dollars.

00:40:26How on earth did Elena

00:40:27vet their qualifications?

00:40:29Is her brain filled with

00:40:30mush?

00:40:31With this level of

00:40:32incompetence, she's not

00:40:34even worth one ten

00:40:35thousandth of Ava.

00:40:41All of you, get out!

00:40:48If Ava were here, such a

00:40:51low-level mistake would

00:40:52never have happened.

00:40:55If Ava were here, such a

00:40:57low-level mistake would

00:40:58never have happened.

00:40:59But why?

00:41:00Elena is clearly my first

00:41:01love.

00:41:02So why do I have such

00:41:03absurd thoughts?

00:41:04Elena just returned to

00:41:06the country.

00:41:06It's inevitable there are

00:41:08slip-ups in business.

00:41:09As long as I bring Ava

00:41:10back to assist her, the

00:41:12company will quickly get

00:41:13back on track.

00:41:17Sorry, the number you

00:41:18have dialed is not in

00:41:20service.

00:41:21Not in service?

00:41:23Ava, you've gone this

00:41:24far?

00:41:25You even cut off the

00:41:26last means of contact?

00:41:41Ava, open 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?

00:42:01Ava?

00:42:11Logan, this is my final

00:42:12gift to you.

00:42:14Everything you casually

00:42:15handed down to me over the

00:42:16years is in this box.

00:42:21I didn't take a single

00:42:23piece of the trash in the

00:42:24closet that you looked

00:42:25down upon.

00:42:26We're even now.

00:42:28Goodbye forever.

00:42:36What does she mean by

00:42:37this?

00:42:38These were my rewards to

00:42:39her.

00:42:40She never used a single

00:42:42one?

00:42:46This Rolex was originally

00:42:48bought for Elena, but I

00:42:50remembered wrong.

00:42:52She doesn't like this kind

00:42:53of rugged strap.

00:42:54It's yours now.

00:42:55Take it and wear.

00:43:13The tag is still on.

00:43:16She never wore any of the

00:43:17clothes I bought for her?

00:43:23The tag is still on.

00:43:26She never wore any of the

00:43:27clothes I bought for her?

00:43:29Darling, does this limited

00:43:31edition Chanel suit your

00:43:32complexion?

00:43:33Honey, I've long outgrown

00:43:34that old-fashioned style.

00:43:36I have other brands I

00:43:37prefer.

00:43:38Gotta go.

00:43:39Wham!

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

00:43:49This trash is yours now.

00:43:51Throw it away or wear it

00:43:52yourself.

00:43:55These jewels, these

00:43:57clothes, she hasn't even

00:43:59touched them.

00:44:00Every single thing she left

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

00:44:03She's telling me she never

00:44:05valued anything I gave

00:44:06her.

00:44:16Ava, what gives you the

00:44:17right to draw a line with

00:44:18me?

00:44:19Are you trying to tell me

00:44:21you've won with all this

00:44:21garbage?

00:44:26mobilize all our contacts, both

00:44:29legal and underworld.

00:44:30Seal off every exit port in

00:44:32New York.

00:44:33Track that woman down no

00:44:34matter where she's hiding.

00:44:36She doesn't even have the

00:44:37right to die without my

00:44:39permission.

00:44:41How dare she disappear?

00:44:44I'll make her regret ever

00:44:46being born.

00:44:51Ava, what gives you the

00:44:53right to draw a line with

00:44:54me?

00:44:55Are you trying to tell me you've

00:44:56won with all this garbage?

00:45:03Ava, even though you've been

00:45:05driven out of New York,

00:45:06Logan's heart is still

00:45:07completely filled with you.

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

00:45:11replacement.

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

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

00:45:19world know who the future

00:45:20master of the Vanderbilt

00:45:21family is.

00:45:22Ava, you'll forever be

00:45:24stuck in the gutter.

00:45:35Have you found her?

00:45:36Chairman, we've searched all

00:45:37the private clinics and

00:45:38apartments in Manhattan and

00:45:39Queens.

00:45:40there's absolutely no trace

00:45:41of Miss Ava.

00:45:45Dammit!

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

00:45:48hiding?

00:45:53Dammit!

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

00:45:54hiding?

00:45:55Where exactly are you

00:45:56planning to go?

00:45:57To a place where there's no

00:45:58more you and Elena.

00:45:59She paid off all her debts

00:46:01just to escape me completely.

00:46:03Ava, who gave you the nerve

00:46:04to vanish from my world?

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

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

00:46:12and you didn't even invite us

00:46:13for a drink?

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

00:46:15The photos she posted have set

00:46:16all of Wall Street on fire.

00:46:18What wedding?

00:46:19What the hell are you

00:46:19talking about?

00:46:20Stop pretending.

00:46:21Check your social media feed.

00:46:22You guys are really going all

00:46:24out.

00:46:24Was that right after you got

00:46:25out of bed?

00:46:32Darling, why are you here

00:46:34so early?

00:46:35Did you miss me?

00:46:39Delete that disgusting post

00:46:40right now, Elena.

00:46:41I brought you back to play

00:46:43the part of the perfect

00:46:43white moonlight,

00:46:44not to scheme here.

00:46:48Elena, when did you

00:46:49become so scheming?

00:46:50Logan, I'm your fiancé.

00:46:53Is posting an intimate photo

00:46:54of you some kind

00:46:55of capital crime?

00:46:56Phone.

00:46:57Unlock it.

00:46:58If you want our relationship

00:47:00to end right here,

00:47:01you can keep holding

00:47:01onto it.

00:47:11From now on,

00:47:12you are not supposed to

00:47:12anything about my private life

00:47:13without permission.

00:47:15Elena, trying 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.

00:47:20If it were Ava,

00:47:21she would never do

00:47:21something so stupid.

00:47:22She always knows

00:47:23where the line is.

00:47:24Logan, I did this

00:47:26because I love you

00:47:27too much.

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

00:47:30Scared you'll get

00:47:31tired of 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

00:47:38from me.

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

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

00:47:46I'll be good.

00:47:47I'll become the person

00:47:48you want me to be.

00:47:49I'm just so afraid

00:47:50of losing you.

00:47:52Afraid of losing?

00:47:53I admit I made

00:47:54the stupidest decision,

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

00:47:57in my heart.

00:47:58I really care about you

00:48:00too much.

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

00:48:03Don't worry.

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

00:48:05Don't lie.

00:48:06Elena is starting

00:48:07to suspect us.

00:48:08I won't allow you

00:48:09to tarnish the pure love

00:48:11between her and me.

00:48:11I shared a bed

00:48:12with Ava for five whole years.

00:48:14I honestly thought

00:48:15she'd have some shred

00:48:15of attachment.

00:48:16But now,

00:48:17she managed to vanish

00:48:18into 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 with zero regrets.

00:48:26Ava, you win.

00:48:35Due to quality issues,

00:48:37the foundation has collapsed.

00:48:38The other party

00:48:39has officially filed a 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, look at this.

00:48:51I'm going to replace

00:48:52all those outdated suppliers

00:48:53Ava left behind.

00:48:57Why change them?

00:48:58Those companies have worked

00:49:00with us for ten years

00:49:01without a single mistake.

00:49:03Because they're too expensive.

00:49:04The batch I found

00:49:05is half the price.

00:49:07Oh.

00:49:07That woman,

00:49:08I treated her so well.

00:49:09and she betrayed me?

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

00:49:12Dewari,

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

00:49:15Absolutely proof.

00:49:19This is a third-party

00:49:20men's yet report.

00:49:21This patch of gong

00:49:22is nothing but

00:49:23inferior recycled scrap,

00:49:25not even meeting

00:49:25half of the minimum

00:49:26safety standards.

00:49:28Vanderbilt Group

00:49:28is not only macing bankruptcy,

00:49:30we'll have to bear

00:49:31criminal sciability.

00:49:33Can you tell me

00:49:34what's going on?

00:49:35Didn't you say

00:49:36it was backed

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

00:49:40I...

00:49:41I was deceived

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

00:49:44I didn't know.

00:49:51Elena,

00:49:51you're fired.

00:49:53Get 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?

00:50:04You're firing me

00:50:05over this little money?

00:50:06Get out.

00:50:07Drag this trash

00:50:08out of here.

00:50:12Chairman,

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

00:50:14with a solution

00:50:14before the market

00:50:15opens tomorrow,

00:50:16Vanderbilt's stock

00:50:17will be wiped out instantly.

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 been

00:50:29so blind to let a fool

00:50:31like Elena

00:50:31take the vice president's

00:50:32position?

00:50:33Chairman,

00:50:34I just received a tip.

00:50:36Miss Ava is now

00:50:36at Liberty Financial.

00:50:39What?

00:50:40How dare she go

00:50:41to that small-time company

00:50:42to become my competitor?

00:50:44Who gave her the audacity

00:50:46to betray me like this?

00:50:47Since you're not dead,

00:50:49you must come back

00:50:50and save my empire.

00:50:55Ava,

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 a crack

00:51:00in the core

00:51:01North American market

00:51:02and soar to new heights.

00:51:03Chairman,

00:51:04I heard that for this

00:51:05Wansang International bid,

00:51:06the competitors

00:51:07are all established

00:51:08Wall Street financial giants

00:51:10and top-tier

00:51:11multinational corporations.

00:51:12She definitely can.

00:51:14In my dictionary,

00:51:16Ava is synonymous

00:51:17with miracle.

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

00:51:20This time will be

00:51:21your coronation once again.

00:51:24Ava is back!

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

00:51:36It's okay.

00:51:37Even if we didn't sign this deal,

00:51:39it doesn't matter.

00:51:40As long as you come back safely,

00:51:42we have countless more opportunities.

00:51:48I said I'm sorry

00:51:49because starting tomorrow,

00:51:50everyone might have to work overtime

00:51:51for a whole month.

00:51:52The contract,

00:51:52I got it.

00:51:59Sorry,

00:52:00I was just too excited.

00:52:01Oh my God,

00:52:02signing with Wansang International

00:52:03means our company's valuation

00:52:04will double tonight.

00:52:05It's a miracle.

00:52:06Truly the undisputed

00:52:07queen of negotiation

00:52:08on Wall Street.

00:52:10Don't you shower me with praise.

00:52:11This is the result

00:52:12of the whole team's

00:52:13overnight due diligence.

00:52:15Without your data support,

00:52:16I couldn't have signed

00:52:17a single word.

00:52:20Ava,

00:52:21I finally found you,

00:52:22you despicable traitor.

00:52:24Get over here right now.

00:52:28Ava,

00:52:29get over here

00:52:30right now.

00:52:31Chairman Logan,

00:52:32aren't you busy planning

00:52:33that multi-billion dollar

00:52:34wedding of the century

00:52:35for Elena?

00:52:36What brings you

00:52:37to a small company

00:52:38like mine

00:52:39to throw a tantrum?

00:52:40Who gave you permission

00:52:41to change your phone number?

00:52:42Did I ever allow you

00:52:43to disappear from my site?

00:52:45And did you get my permission

00:52:46to work for this rival company?

00:52:48Chairman Don,

00:52:49it seems your memory

00:52:49is failing you.

00:52:50I've already resigned

00:52:51from your company.

00:52:52Where I go,

00:52:53even if it's to work on Mars,

00:52:54has nothing to with you.

00:52:56Not even half a quent.

00:52:57Ava,

00:52:57I'm giving you

00:52:58one last chance.

00:52:59Get back to my company

00:53:00with me,

00:53:01now.

00:53:01Several major

00:53:02overseas short-sheeters

00:53:03are frankly attacking

00:53:04our stock price right now.

00:53:05You're the only one

00:53:06who can handle this mess.

00:53:08Sorry,

00:53:08but I'm now

00:53:09an executive partner

00:53:09at Liberty Financial.

00:53:11I have no obligation

00:53:12to help you patch up

00:53:13that dilapidated

00:53:14sinking boat anymore.

00:53:15Besides,

00:53:16don't you have

00:53:16your gun goddess Elena?

00:53:17Let her use her innocent face

00:53:19to get you through this crisis.

00:53:20Have you forgotten

00:53:20who helped you

00:53:21in the first place?

00:53:22If it weren't for me,

00:53:23you'd still be in the slums.

00:53:24It was me

00:53:24who put you

00:53:25in a top-tier vella,

00:53:26who brought you

00:53:26into the global

00:53:27financial circle.

00:53:28Listen,

00:53:28if you come with me now

00:53:30and help me solve

00:53:30this crisis,

00:53:31I can forgive

00:53:32your previous insolence

00:53:33and even reinstate

00:53:34you as vice president.

00:53:37Logan,

00:53:38I have no interest

00:53:39in that position anymore.

00:53:40I spent five years

00:53:41by your side

00:53:41as a substitute,

00:53:42handling countless

00:53:43shady bad debts for you

00:53:44and even took a bullet

00:53:45for Elena.

00:53:46The debts I owed

00:53:46have long been paid off.

00:53:48We are even now.

00:53:49Paid off?

00:53:50You can never repay

00:53:51what you owe me

00:53:51in this lifetime.

00:53:52Ava,

00:53:52as long as I haven't

00:53:53grown tired of you,

00:53:54you will always be

00:53:55my accessory.

00:53:56Come with me.

00:53:57Chairman Logan,

00:53:58this is Liberty Finance,

00:53:59not your backyard garden.

00:54:00Let her go.

00:54:01Who do you think you are?

00:54:02Daring to cause problem

00:54:03at Liberty Finance

00:54:04and lay hands

00:54:05on our partner.

00:54:06I recognize him now.

00:54:07Hear this,

00:54:07the Vanderbilt T-twin

00:54:08famous dorned on Logan.

00:54:10I heard he plants

00:54:11a ginsess,

00:54:12finding they a spiel

00:54:13social Elena

00:54:14from in a golf,

00:54:15causing core projects

00:54:16to blow up

00:54:16one after other.

00:54:17Now Vanderbilt

00:54:18is decaying on a load

00:54:19on Wall Street

00:54:20and on the verge

00:54:20of punctuation.

00:54:21I heard Miss Ava

00:54:22poured her heart and soul

00:54:23into their company

00:54:23for five years

00:54:24and he actually kicked her

00:54:25out for a pretty face.

00:54:26Now that the company

00:54:26is in ruins,

00:54:27he remembers to come

00:54:28begging for our Miss Ava.

00:54:29Pure karma.

00:54:30He didn't recognize

00:54:31Ava's financial genius

00:54:32back then

00:54:32and now that he's

00:54:33going bankrupt,

00:54:34he thinks he can

00:54:34come crawling back?

00:54:35Dream on.

00:54:38Shut up.

00:54:39What do you

00:54:40bottom feeding insects

00:54:41know?

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

00:54:43I was the one

00:54:43who pulled her

00:54:44out of the mud.

00:54:44Ava,

00:54:45you owe me a debt

00:54:46you can never repay

00:54:47in this lifetime.

00:54:48This is between us.

00:54:49Outsiders have

00:54:50no right to interfere.

00:54:51Come back with me

00:54:52to settle this debt.

00:54:52Logan,

00:54:53I'm telling you

00:54:54for the last time,

00:54:55there's no way

00:54:55I'm going back with you.

00:54:57From the second

00:54:57I walked out of that villa,

00:54:58that absurd five years

00:55:00between us

00:55:00was already

00:55:01completely dead.

00:55:02Ava,

00:55:03how dare you speak

00:55:04to me in that tone?

00:55:05Who gave you

00:55:06the nerve to defy me?

00:55:16You...

00:55:16How dare you hit me?

00:55:21Logan,

00:55:22it's true that you

00:55:23helped A financially

00:55:24in the beginning,

00:55:24and that was a kindness,

00:55:26but that doesn't mean

00:55:27she sold herself

00:55:27to you for life.

00:55:28This slap is payback

00:55:29for the humiliation

00:55:30and games you put her

00:55:31through over these

00:55:32five years.

00:55:33As long as I'm here,

00:55:34you don't have the right

00:55:35to lay a fend

00:55:36on her ever again.

00:55:38This slap

00:55:39is to reclaim

00:55:40the dignity

00:55:41Ava lost

00:55:42over these five years.

00:55:44Liam,

00:55:45you...

00:55:46Ava,

00:55:47today is a day

00:55:47for celebration.

00:55:48There's no need

00:55:49to these pasts

00:55:50that easing buried

00:55:51in the grave

00:55:51infect your mead.

00:55:52As the company's

00:55:54greatest contributor,

00:55:55I wonder if I have

00:55:56the honor of inviting

00:55:57you to dinner tonight.

00:55:58Wow,

00:55:58is Chairman Liam

00:55:59going to confess publicly?

00:56:01I heard Liam

00:56:01has had a crush

00:56:02on Miss Ava

00:56:03since their

00:56:03Yale University days.

00:56:04That look in his eyes

00:56:05is impossible to hide.

00:56:06The heir of a

00:56:07top-tar family dynasty

00:56:08paired with the

00:56:09Queen of Finance?

00:56:10Now that's a true

00:56:11power couple.

00:56:11Ava,

00:56:13I've reserved a table

00:56:14at the top

00:56:14we're loathing

00:56:15restaurant tonight.

00:56:16Come with me.

00:56:19Ava,

00:56:19since when have you

00:56:20had the guts

00:56:21to refuse my invitation?

00:56:23I'm sorry,

00:56:23Liam.

00:56:24I can't have

00:56:25dinner with you.

00:56:26Why?

00:56:27I knew it.

00:56:28This woman

00:56:29was my shadow

00:56:30for five years.

00:56:31That ingrained

00:56:32sense of inferiority

00:56:33can't be changed.

00:56:34She simply

00:56:35doesn't dare

00:56:36to defy me.

00:56:39Because I promised

00:56:40to treat

00:56:40the entire company

00:56:41to a celebration

00:56:42party this afternoon.

00:56:44What?

00:56:46You'd rather

00:56:46spend time

00:56:47with these

00:56:47knollers

00:56:48than with me?

00:56:49Don't worry,

00:56:50Ava.

00:56:50I've already

00:56:51arranged the hotel

00:56:51suite and champagne

00:56:52for the staff.

00:56:53As for you,

00:56:54you're the brightest

00:56:55star tonight

00:56:56and I must

00:56:57personally celebrate

00:56:57your success.

00:56:58All right,

00:56:59let's go then.

00:57:01Ava,

00:57:02I'm standing

00:57:03right in front of you

00:57:04and you dare

00:57:04to go on a date

00:57:05with another man

00:57:06right in front of me?

00:57:06Do you even see me

00:57:07as your fiancé

00:57:08anymore?

00:57:09Logan,

00:57:09let me correct you

00:57:10on two points.

00:57:11First,

00:57:12your fiancé

00:57:12is named Elena

00:57:13and I'm just

00:57:14your former executive.

00:57:15Second,

00:57:16I've settled

00:57:16all our old debts.

00:57:17There's nothing

00:57:18between us anymore.

00:57:19Ava,

00:57:20take one step

00:57:21and see what happens.

00:57:25Hey,

00:57:26this outdated chairman,

00:57:27you can't go over there.

00:57:28Our Ava is busy

00:57:29on a date

00:57:29with her true love.

00:57:30What are you trying

00:57:31to do?

00:57:31Want to be

00:57:32a thousand watt

00:57:33light bulb?

00:57:40Ava,

00:57:40it prumens

00:57:41while the Pendwin

00:57:42has never be wrong.

00:57:43Since you took over,

00:57:44we've successfully acquired

00:57:46three core projects

00:57:47in a row.

00:57:48With this glass

00:57:49of top-screet

00:57:50Ace of Spains,

00:57:51I toast to the soul

00:57:53of our Liberty Financial.

00:57:55Liam,

00:57:56you're too kind.

00:57:57Without everyone's

00:57:58round-the-clock cooperation,

00:57:59I alone

00:58:00couldn't have pulled off

00:58:01an operation

00:58:02of this scale.

00:58:02Ava,

00:58:03to be honest,

00:58:04before you joined us,

00:58:05we were just burning

00:58:06through investors' money

00:58:07every day,

00:58:07almost hitting rock bottom.

00:58:09Yeah,

00:58:09if Ava hadn't joined

00:58:10and led us

00:58:10to this turnaround victory,

00:58:12this dinner tonight

00:58:13would probably be

00:58:13our farewell party.

00:58:14Don't talk nonsense.

00:58:15With Ava,

00:58:16our blueprint

00:58:17has just begun.

00:58:18To the future

00:58:19queen of Wall Street,

00:58:20bottoms up.

00:58:22Ava,

00:58:23haven't you noticed?

00:58:24You and our chairman,

00:58:25Liam,

00:58:25standing together

00:58:26are practically

00:58:27the textbook example

00:58:28of a top-tier

00:58:28Chibon couple.

00:58:30Exactly.

00:58:31Ever since Ava joined,

00:58:32I've never seen

00:58:33chairman Liam sober.

00:58:34His eyes are always

00:58:35full of pink bubbles.

00:58:36Can't all this premium

00:58:37steak shut you up?

00:58:39We agreed tonight,

00:58:40no one leaves

00:58:42until we're drunk,

00:58:43and whoever leaves

00:58:43first pays the bill.

00:58:50Oh, Ava,

00:58:51I can't go on.

00:58:52I'm seeing double.

00:58:54Chairman Liam

00:58:55is in your capable hands now.

00:58:57Right, right,

00:58:57my mom told me to go home

00:58:58for a late-night snack.

00:58:59If I'm late,

00:59:00she'll confiscate

00:59:01my credit card.

00:59:02The sacred mission

00:59:02of Escortijon

00:59:03falls to you.

00:59:05Hey,

00:59:06you bunch of traitors.

00:59:18Take it easy.

00:59:20You really should

00:59:21lose some weight,

00:59:22big guy.

00:59:36This is a photo of me

00:59:38from my university days?

00:59:42Damn it.

00:59:43I forgot to hide

00:59:43this incriminative evidence.

00:59:53Weren't you so drunk

00:59:54you could barely walk?

00:59:55I was a bit dizzy

00:59:57just now,

00:59:57but seeing this photo,

00:59:59I suddenly sobered up.

01:00:02How do you have

01:00:03a photo of me

01:00:03from my junior year?

01:00:05Back then,

01:00:05you were the star

01:00:06of the Yale football team,

01:00:07and I was just a part-time

01:00:08working student,

01:00:09practically invisible.

01:00:11Because long before

01:00:12that football game,

01:00:13I had already

01:00:13been watching you.

01:00:20Too expensive.

01:00:22That's enough for

01:00:22two months

01:00:22of my living expenses.

01:00:26I knew your family

01:00:27had gone bankrupt,

01:00:28and you were burdened

01:00:29with huge student loans.

01:00:31You could only save

01:00:32every penny

01:00:32to buy those

01:00:33obscure professional books.

01:00:46Back then,

01:00:48you only had eyes

01:00:48for Logan,

01:00:50the one

01:00:50who took you

01:00:51out of the slums.

01:00:52I was afraid

01:00:53of disturbing

01:00:54your happiness,

01:00:55so I could only

01:00:56hide my identity

01:00:57and silently help you

01:00:58in this clumsy way.

01:01:00After graduating

01:01:01from university,

01:01:02I knew you went

01:01:03to Logan's company

01:01:03out of gratitude.

01:01:05I watched you

01:01:05choose a path

01:01:06you didn't like,

01:01:07watched you step back

01:01:08for his ambitions,

01:01:09and grow into

01:01:10the top elite

01:01:11step by step.

01:01:12No one knows

01:01:13how much you sacrificed,

01:01:14but I do.

01:01:16I know your heart

01:01:17was just broken

01:01:17by Logan.

01:01:18Five years of youth

01:01:19traded for betrayal.

01:01:24I know you can't

01:01:25fall in love

01:01:26with someone else

01:01:26right away,

01:01:27but I'm willing

01:01:27to wait.

01:01:30As long as you

01:01:31can walk out

01:01:31of that darkness,

01:01:33even if you

01:01:33treat me as

01:01:34Tia for Logan,

01:01:35I'm willing.

01:01:36Liam,

01:01:38I'm sorry,

01:01:39I can't agree

01:01:39to that.

01:01:53Liam,

01:01:54I'm sorry,

01:01:54I can't agree

01:01:55to your proposal

01:01:55just now.

01:01:58I was too

01:01:59impatient,

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

01:02:04by your side,

01:02:05I'm willing

01:02:05to do anything.

01:02:07I mean this shit.

01:02:08I don't need you

01:02:09to be anyone

01:02:10tea-tight.

01:02:11Liam,

01:02:11you are you.

01:02:12The one and only

01:02:13bright spot

01:02:14in my life.

01:02:15I'm no longer

01:02:16that humble steeder.

01:02:18Start a day.

01:02:19We'll bunida

01:02:19forget someone

01:02:20to Kaishin Musheng.

01:02:22So,

01:02:23does that mean

01:02:24we?

01:02:26Of course.

01:02:28I've always

01:02:29known it was you

01:02:29who silently

01:02:30helped me,

01:02:31but at that age

01:02:32when I couldn't

01:02:32even hold on

01:02:33to my dignity,

01:02:34I couldn't give

01:02:35you any response,

01:02:36not until I walked

01:02:38into Liberty Financial.

01:02:40I met that

01:02:40world whose eyes

01:02:41were full of me

01:02:42once 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

01:02:53thousand-bilt wine.

01:02:55Thank you

01:02:55and the bomb

01:03:01these eight glasses

01:03:03this deal goes

01:03:03to Liberty Financial.

01:03:05Yeah,

01:03:05let us witness

01:03:06the drinking capacity

01:03:07of this financial queen.

01:03:10Black,

01:03:11if my partner

01:03:12needs to trade

01:03:13her life for a contract,

01:03:14then this deal

01:03:15isn't worth it.

01:03:16Ava,

01:03:16let's go.

01:03:22Liam,

01:03:23I'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

01:03:30that belongs to us

01:03:31in this cold city.

01:03:32Ava,

01:03:33you're not just

01:03:34saying that

01:03:34to make me happy?

01:03:35I choose to be

01:03:36with you

01:03:36for no complicated

01:03:37reason,

01:03:38simply because

01:03:40I've also been

01:03:41hopelessly in love

01:03:42with you

01:03:42for a long time.

01:03:43I'm so happy,

01:03:44Ava.

01:03:45I feel like

01:03:45all the sunlight

01:03:46in the world

01:03:47has brightened

01:03:47at this moment.

01:04:05See you tomorrow,

01:04:06Ava.

01:04:06Have a pleasant evening.

01:04:08See 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,

01:04:20who exactly

01:04:21are you performing

01:04:22these childish tricks for?

01:04:24Ava,

01:04:25I didn't handle

01:04:26things properly

01:04:27back then.

01:04:28I shouldn't have

01:04:29let you take the fall

01:04:30for that damn charge

01:04:31to protect

01:04:31Elena's reputation,

01:04:32forcing you to resign

01:04:34and leave the company.

01:04:35The position of

01:04:35Vice President

01:04:36at the Vanderbilt Group,

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

01:04:39The room that belongs

01:04:40to you at home,

01:04:41I've had it cleaned.

01:04:42Just say the word,

01:04:44and you can come back

01:04:45anytime.

01:04:45We can start over.

01:04:48Logan,

01:04:49I'm curious.

01:04:50Who gave you

01:04:51the confidence

01:04:52to think that

01:04:52I would give up

01:04:53my position

01:04:53as a global partner

01:04:54at Liberty Financial

01:04:55to return to your

01:04:57nearly-brancropped

01:04:57Vanderbilt Group

01:04:58just to be a

01:04:59Vice-Vectricer

01:05:00you can summon

01:05:01and dismiss at will?

01:05:04What are you

01:05:05talking about?

01:05:08And what makes you

01:05:09think that keeping

01:05:10that dark,

01:05:11damp,

01:05:11uninhabitable

01:05:12servants room

01:05:13in your house

01:05:13for me

01:05:14is some great favor?

01:05:18Logan,

01:05:19stop wasting

01:05:19your time on me.

01:05:20Your persistence

01:05:21only makes me

01:05:22think less of you.

01:05:25Ava,

01:05:27since you have

01:05:28no feelings for me,

01:05:29I've prepared

01:05:30a better gift for you.

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

01:05:33like it.

01:05:40This is the place.

01:05:42Who exactly is

01:05:43this mysterious

01:05:44investor?

01:05:49Miss Ava,

01:05:50I presume?

01:05:50This way,

01:05:51please.

01:05:51Your table is ready.

01:05:53Is there a proposal

01:05:53happening here today?

01:05:54Something like that.

01:05:55A gentleman is preparing

01:05:57the most romantic

01:05:57surprise for you.

01:05:59Miss Ava,

01:05:59please take a seat first.

01:06:06So it's Ava

01:06:07that Logan wants

01:06:07to confess to.

01:06:08I'll mix that

01:06:09disfigurating potent

01:06:10patient into the

01:06:11red wine.

01:06:11Ava,

01:06:12this is what you get

01:06:13for stealing my man.

01:06:14Ava,

01:06:15you've really

01:06:16come to your end.

01:06:21It's you!

01:06:23It's you!

01:06:31The mysterious investor

01:06:32who anonymously requested

01:06:34a meeting for cooperation

01:06:34is you.

01:06:35To be precise,

01:06:36it's the who wants

01:06:36to beg on his knees

01:06:37to cooperate.

01:06:38Ava,

01:06:38don't go.

01:06:39Give 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.

01:06:46Just say yes,

01:06:47and 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,

01:07:08where 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

01:07:16that I realized

01:07:17just how important

01:07:17you were to me.

01:07:18Ava,

01:07:19pour me a cup of coffee.

01:07:21I got used to working

01:07:22late nights

01:07:23with 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,

01:07:32I really can't live

01:07:33without you.

01:07:34For God's sake,

01:07:35come back to me.

01:07:36Logan,

01:07:37I've been by your side

01:07:37for 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

01:07:50of your pathetic 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?

01:07:58Don't you think

01:07:58you look like a child

01:07:59right now?

01:08:00Ava, listen to me.

01:08:01I'm not angry

01:08:01that you left

01:08:02Vanderbilt five years ago,

01:08:03really.

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,

01:08:08Chapman Logan,

01:08:08there's no need

01:08:09to lower yourself

01:08:10by 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

01:08:26so publicly today?

01:08:27Don't mention her.

01:08:28We,

01:08:29we've broken up.

01:08:32Ava, you bitch.

01:08:34If it weren't for you

01:08:35setting 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

01:08:47with 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

01:09:05just 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

01:09:15as a substitute.

01:09:16But if I really make her

01:09:17my 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

01:09:40you 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, right?

01:09:47Logan, your arrogance

01:09:48is as nauseating as ever.

01:09:51Put it there

01:09:51and get out, Ava.

01:09:52Don't think doing something

01:09:54will 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, I know

01:10:14you're still angry with me.

01:10:16Is it because I made you

01:10:17take the blame

01:10:17for Elena's mistake

01:10:18all those years ago?

01:10:20Or because I made you

01:10:21move out of the villa?

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

01:10:24It's just that all of that

01:10:25is in the past now.

01:10:26Listen, you can drop the act

01:10:27with that so-called

01:10:28contract 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.

01:10:34I 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, you wanna dump me

01:10:40for this bitch?

01:10:42If I can't have you,

01:10:43no one will.

01:10:44Logan, take 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, I'm leaving

01:10:58New York for Los Angeles.

01:11:00We won't be seeing

01:11:01each other again.

01:11:02Leaving?

01:11:03You can't possibly

01:11:05refuse me.

01:11:06I 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, you're still

01:11:26trying to seduce

01:11:27my husband?

01:11:28You vicious woman,

01:11:30won't you be satisfied

01:11:30until you've driven

01:11:31me to my death?

01:11:33Me seducing your husband?

01:11:35What a joke.

01:11:37Everyone, come and

01:11:38look at this bitch.

01:11:38She used to cling

01:11:39to me and my husband

01:11:40like a stubborn piece

01:11:41of gum that wouldn't

01:11:42come off.

01:11:43Later, to climb the ladder,

01:11:44she shamelessly became

01:11:45Logan's secret mistress

01:11:46for five years,

01:11:47stubbornly staying

01:11:48in the villa

01:11:49and refusing to leave

01:11:50no matter what.

01:11:50Now Logan and I

01:11:51are about to get married,

01:11:52and she actually

01:11:53comes back to harass us

01:11:55like a persistent,

01:11:56low-class woman.

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

01:11:59She looks so well-dressed

01:12:01and she's a professional

01:12:02homewrecker.

01:12:03You really see all kinds

01:12:04of people these days.

01:12:06Women who get ahead

01:12:07through improper means

01:12:08have hearts as black

01:12:09as can be.

01:12:10You all be the judge.

01:12:12It's this woman

01:12:13who stole my vice-president

01:12:15position and took

01:12:16everything from me.

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

01:12:19she comes back flaunting

01:12:20her designer clothes?

01:12:22Ava, why 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,

01:12:44this 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, I don't care

01:12:54what kind of dirty entanglement

01:12:55you still have with Logan.

01:12:56That's your business.

01:12:58Stay away from me

01:12:59from now on.

01:13:01Ava, since you've

01:13:03Aldi rolled 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, don't assume

01:13:09everyone is like you,

01:13:10only capable of clinging

01:13:11to a man.

01:13:12Stop pretending.

01:13:13You came back

01:13:13because you still love Logan

01:13:15and can't let go

01:13:15of his power and influence,

01:13:17right?

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 a single

01:13:22word of your slander.

01:13:24I'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,

01:13:30and above-worldy

01:13:30Desire's 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 it up

01:13:38yourself,

01:13:39you should figure out

01:13:41a 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.

01:14:15Ava 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

01:14:21are completely over.

01:14:22So they broke up

01:14:23a long time ago?

01:14:24Then what's this woman

01:14:25doing here

01:14:26pretending to be

01:14:26the 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

01:14:35family for me.

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

01:14:37anymore?

01:14:37Back then,

01:14:38funding you,

01:14:39even putting you

01:14:40in a high position,

01:14:42perhaps is all because

01:14:43I'm too arrogant.

01:14:45Perhaps what I loved

01:14:46before was just

01:14:47an illusion,

01:14:48a shadow I thought

01:14:49was real.

01:14:51After leaving Ava

01:14:52during countless

01:14:53sleepless nights,

01:14:55I realized that

01:14:56I truly love

01:14:57is actually...

01:15:00Logan!

01:15:01You can't leave!

01:15:01You can't just

01:15:02kick me out like this!

01:15:03Get out of my sight

01:15:04immediately.

01:15:04Otherwise,

01:15:05I won't mind

01:15:05making you disappear

01:15:06from all of New York.

01:15:07Security,

01:15:07drag this crazy woman out!

01:15:09No!

01:15:09Logan!

01:15:10Ava, you bitch!

01:15:10I won't let you

01:15:11get away with this!

01:15:12I am the only one

01:15:13fit to be Mrs. Venderbell!

01:15:14Ava,

01:15:16I'm sorry.

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

01:15:18There's no one

01:15:19who owes anyone

01:15:20an apology.

01:15:21No, Ava.

01:15:22I want to tell you

01:15:23I love you.

01:15:25It wasn't until

01:15:26you disappeared

01:15:26from my sight

01:15:27that I realized

01:15:28you're the one

01:15:28I love most

01:15:29in this life.

01:15:30Really?

01:15:31Back then,

01:15:32you liked Elena.

01:15:33You always took

01:15:34my efforts for 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.

01:15:42That's not true.

01:15:43Ava,

01:15:43it wasn't until

01:15:44I officially dated her

01:15:45that I realized

01:15:45how good you are.

01:15:47I started thinking

01:15:48about you like crazy,

01:15:49remembering every late night

01:15:50you stayed up with me,

01:15:51remembering that only

01:15:52you understood

01:15:53my ambitions.

01:15:54I couldn't see

01:15:54my own heart

01:15:55clearly before.

01:15:56It wasn't until

01:15:56I lost you

01:15:57that I understood

01:15:58the one I truly love

01:15:59is you.

01:15:59Ava,

01:16:00let's start over.

01:16:01Give us a real try,

01:16:02okay?

01:16:03Logan,

01:16:04I'm telling you

01:16:04for the last time,

01:16:05I'm already married.

01:16:09Married?

01:16:10Ava,

01:16:10you must be lying to me.

01:16:12Just like when you

01:16:12found a fake boyfriend

01:16:13in college

01:16:14to make me jealous,

01:16:15right?

01:16:15You must still

01:16:16have feelings for me.

01:16:17Otherwise,

01:16:18why would you go

01:16:18through all this trouble

01:16:19to make up such

01:16:20an absurd lie

01:16:20to deceive me?

01:16:23Logan,

01:16:24if you lay another

01:16:24hand 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,

01:16:30Liam,

01:16:30the global chairman

01:16:31of Liberty Financial.

01:16:33Husband,

01:16:34Liam,

01:16:36this can't be.

01:16:37How could this happen?

01:16:39Honey,

01:16:39this is Mr. Logan,

01:16:40the benefactor

01:16:41I mentioned before

01:16:42who supported me

01:16:42at 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,

01:16:54you're quite the actress

01:16:55to make me give up

01:16:56completely.

01:16:57You even hired

01:16:57a 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,

01:17:04I really want to thank you

01:17:05for your past support

01:17:05of Ava.

01:17:07Without your generosity

01:17:08back then,

01:17:08I wouldn't have had

01:17:09the chance to meet

01:17:10such 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

01:17:17to repay your kindness.

01:17:18Logan,

01:17:19although I'm grateful

01:17:20for your support,

01:17:21it's really getting late.

01:17:22We have to catch

01:17:22our private jet

01:17:23back to Harbor City tomorrow,

01:17:24so we won't keep

01:17:25you any longer.

01:17:27Honey,

01:17:28let's go.

01:17:29Ava,

01:17:30are you really

01:17:31leaving tomorrow?

01:17:32Are you really

01:17:33going to leave

01:17:34my world completely?

01:17:35Yes.

01:17:36Goodbye,

01:17:37Mr. Logan.

01:17:38I'll be there.

01:17:38I'll be there.,

01:17:43I'll

01:17:43be there. And I'll

01:18:00be there. I'll be

01:18:03there.

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?

01:18:28Today's our last day here.

01:18:29I can't let you go back to Los Angeles with regrets, right?

01:18:34Thank you, honey. 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.

01:20:30The moment you pushed her out to take the fall for that woman and left her to fend for herself

01:20:35in the rain,

01:20:36you completely lost the right to stand here and talk about her in that tone with me.

01:20:50What are you doing?

01:20:51Who gave you permission to touch my things?

01:20:54This is the Vanderbilt Group!

01:20:55Mr. Logan, we're finished.

01:20:57Because 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! Don't touch my assets! This is my empire!

01:21:14Mr. Logan, please keep your distance.

01:21:16The liquidation process has already begun.

01:21:18If you continue to interfere with official duties, we will be forced to take action.

01:21:26I'm such a fool.

01:21:27Ava was clearly the one holding up the empire,

01:21:30and I kicked her out of the company to protect that useless waste, Elena.

01:21:42Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.

01:21:45She is my chosen future wife, and 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, the company wouldn't have collapsed.

01:22:06I'd still be that arrogant CEO.

01:22:08Now it's all gone.

01:22:10Logan, I have no interest in that position anymore.

01:22:12I spent five years by your side as a substitute,

01:22:15handling countless shady bad debts for you,

01:22:17and even took a bullet for Elena.

01:22:18The debts I owed have long been paid off.

01:22:20We are even now.

01:22:21I always felt that she owed me something,

01:22:22and that all the sacrifices she made were deserved.

01:22:24I was wrong.

01:22:25Ridiculously wrong.

01:22:31Chairman,

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,

01:22:55none of your decisions will go wrong.

01:22:56If Ava were still by my side,

01:22:59I'd still be that top heir surrounded by admirers.

01:23:02She would have handled all the trouble.

01:23:07It wasn't until today that I realized

01:23:09the person who loved me most in this world

01:23:11was actually destroyed by my own hands.

01:23:18What is Elena?

01:23:19She's not even one ten thousandths of Ava.

01:23:21I've lost the most precious treasure in the world.

01:23:24No, I can't give up like this.

01:23:25I believe Ava still loves me.

01:23:27I have to find her, win her back.

01:23:30Ava!

01:23:31Don't go!

01:23:31Ava!

01:23:33Young man,

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

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

01:23:37I just got rid of my last boy toy, you know.

01:23:39If you behave,

01:23:40I might just take you under my wing.

01:23:42Get away from me!

01:23:43Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!

01:23:46Get lost!

01:23:47A down-and-out loser putting on airs?

01:23:50You 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.

01:24:30This is the chairman of Vanderbilt.

01:24:32Who is this?

01:24:32This is Liam,

01:24:34chairman of Liberty Financial.

01:24:35Mr. Liam.

01:24:37What can I do for you with this sudden call?

01:24:39I think you should discipline your son, Logan, properly.

01:24:42Ava is my wife now,

01:24:44my beloved.

01:24:44And your son has been acting like a madman

01:24:46these past few days,

01:24:48severely disrupting our family life,

01:24:50even daring to challenge my bottom line.

01:24:54I understand what you mean.

01:24:56I'll handle it.

01:25:07Hey, Dad.

01:25:08You bastard.

01:25:09Do you have any idea who you're messing with?

01:25:11Ava is now the wife of Liam,

01:25:13the founder of the global financial giant Liberty Financial,

01:25:16a chairman worth hundreds of billions.

01:25:19What?

01:25:19Listen, if you want to keep your life,

01:25:21get your ass home right now.

01:25:23Otherwise, I'll announce today

01:25:25that I'm stripping you of all your inheritance rights,

01:25:27and you're out of the Vanderbilt family for good.

01:25:32What?

01:25:33Liam?

01:25:34Is that mysterious mastermind behind Liberty?

01:25:37Impossible.

01:25:37Absolutely impossible.

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

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

01:25:42is actually the titan

01:25:43who holds the global financial lifeline

01:25:45worth hundreds of billions?

01:25:46I actually...

01:25:47I actually dared to think I could...

01:25:49With a mere $30 million,

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

01:26:06Elena, if that loser Logan knew

01:26:09you were keeping a man in his marital bed,

01:26:11wouldn't he go crazy on the spot?

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

01:26:16bankruptcy investigation right now.

01:26:18How could he have the time to care about me?

01:26:20You're really ruthless.

01:26:21You emptied his overseas accounts,

01:26:23brought down his Vanderbilt group,

01:26:24and yet you secured a $50 million

01:26:26escape 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,

01:26:32of course I need to find someone

01:26:33younger and more obedient.

01:26:34Elena!

01:26:35What are you doing?

01:26:38Have you no shame?

01:26:40Messing around in my villa,

01:26:42on my bed?

01:26:43You heartless woman!

01:26:45I was truly blind back then

01:26:46to have abandoned Ava

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!

01:27:00You'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, this guy's a broke,

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

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

01:27:18to waste words on him.

01:27:19You 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.

01:27:45I paid for you to come back

01:27:46and be vice president.

01:27:47For you, Ava left.

01:27:48My company is gone.

01:27:50How 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

01:28:08my 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.

01:28:20Ava, I was wrong.

01:28:21It turns out you were

01:28:22the only one in this world

01:28:23who truly cared for me

01:28:24and 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, I 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

01:28:53of construction equipment

01:28:54Elena was responsible for.

01:28:55Hmm.

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

01:28:59Without you,

01:29:00the anchor that held

01:29:00everything together,

01:29:01that empire once hailed

01:29:03as unsinkable,

01:29:04has collapsed so quickly.

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

01:29:07From the moment

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

01:29:09Logan 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

01:29:26on 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,

01:29:35for loving a poison

01:29:36he shouldn't have.

01:29:36But the people and things

01:29:38in 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

01:29:56and adorable little babies

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