00:00:00On my wedding day, my scheming sister deliberately started a fire, and my heartless husband, ignoring my safety, carried my
00:00:06sister out of the inflearni without so much as a backward glance.
00:00:21When I woke up alone in a cheap hospital room, surrounded by cold silence, my new husband was nowhere to
00:00:27be found.
00:00:31Where is your family?
00:00:35Aren't you the bride from that fire on the news? Your husband isn't with you? He's upstairs, taking care of
00:00:42someone else.
00:00:42What? But that girl just had a scratched hand!
00:00:45There's a whole team fussing over her upstairs. So unfair. Try not to move. You'll make your injuries worse. If
00:00:51no one can look after you, I'll arrange a nurse.
00:00:52That was the day I married Alexander, and the day of fire consumed everything.
00:00:57I woke up in a shabby room with broken ribs and a scarred left cheek. Meanwhile, my husband, Alexander, was
00:01:02feeding my sister, Joyce.
00:01:04Caden, is this karma? My past mistakes falling on my daughter?
00:01:08No. This is just a tragic accident. None of it is your fault.
00:01:12Dad, it wasn't an accident. It was murder. Danielle hated that you and Alexander favored me. She's evil. There were
00:01:16only two of us in that fire. She pushed me. She wanted me dead.
00:01:19Joyce isn't your biological daughter, but she's always treated you like her real father. Married you and never had another
00:01:23child. Why does Danielle want Joyce to suffer?
00:01:36Danielle, stop deluding yourself. There's no need to keep pretending.
00:01:39You've always been jealous of how much everyone favors Joyce. You were so vile, you destroyed our wedding. I never
00:01:45imagined you could be this evil.
00:01:46I swear I didn't push Joyce. She told me she had a wedding gift for me in the storage room.
00:01:51As soon as we went in, the fire started. There are security cameras in the warehouse. Even if the fire
00:01:56destroyed them, there must be backup storage.
00:01:59Enough! You're just making excuses. Surveillance can be faked. I don't believe a single word you say, you lying woman.
00:02:05I'm your wife. Why won't you believe me?
00:02:10No! Let me go!
00:02:12She has broken ribs. She needs rest. This is abuse.
00:02:21How dare you show your face here? Do you have any idea how badly your sister is hurt?
00:02:28Dad, have you forgotten I'm your own flesh and blood?
00:02:32Do you remember how you promised after mom died that you'd never remarry and would take care of me?
00:02:38This is how you take care of me?
00:02:40You did something wrong. Leave me out of it.
00:02:42You've gotten so bold you talk back to me now?
00:02:45Danielle, do you want dad to die alone?
00:02:47Who will take care of him when he gets sick?
00:02:50Danielle, apologize to Joyce.
00:02:59Daniella, you tried to kill my daughter.
00:03:02How can you stand there, not apologizing, and instead turn it around on her?
00:03:09Apologize now, or I'll call the police.
00:03:12You're looking at attempted murder, possibly life in prison.
00:03:16Call them! Hand this murderer over to the police!
00:03:24No. We will not let it go.
00:03:27Get on your knees and beg her forgiveness.
00:03:30I already told you I did nothing wrong.
00:03:32I'm innocent. I will not kneel. I will not apologize.
00:03:40I've seen your chart. You're Daniella's husband, right?
00:03:43How can you treat her like this?
00:03:45She's seriously injured.
00:03:46If she doesn't rest properly, she'll have lifelong damage.
00:03:50I would never call such an evil woman my wife.
00:03:53Daniella, this isn't over.
00:03:55Joyce may be kind enough to forgive you, but you will pay.
00:03:57Stay on your knees until you admit you were wrong.
00:04:00Mr. Harper, don't you agree?
00:04:02Absolutely. She needs to reflect on her behavior.
00:04:05Daniella, you may be dad's biological daughter, but look at you now,
00:04:09kneeling in front of me.
00:04:11I like Alexander, and he will never be yours.
00:04:16So you planned the whole fire, didn't you?
00:04:18I did.
00:04:19The storeroom was soaked in gasoline, rigged with explosives.
00:04:21The moment you walked in, it went up.
00:04:23What are your precious cameras going to do?
00:04:24No one will believe you.
00:04:25I deleted every backup.
00:04:27Dad and Alexander won't trust you.
00:04:28Stay on your knees.
00:04:30Stay there forever.
00:04:33I thought Alexander would find out the truth.
00:04:36I overestimated him.
00:04:40Ready to apologize now?
00:04:43Have you really investigated everything?
00:04:46Daniella, don't be pathetic.
00:04:48Just admit what you did.
00:04:49We're getting a divorce.
00:04:50I refuse to waste my life on a woman as evil as you.
00:04:54Fine.
00:04:54I agree.
00:04:56I don't want a husband who can't see the truth.
00:05:05I don't want a husband who can't see the truth.
00:05:12Are they insane?
00:05:13Leaving you to rot while they fawn over that little snake?
00:05:17I'll make them pay.
00:05:20This is abuse!
00:05:22Alexander did all that and you're still going to forgive him?
00:05:26Let's just leave for now.
00:05:28I'll settle the score later.
00:05:30While Lillian went to handle my discharge, I looked toward the VIP room.
00:05:35Alexander was gently peeling an apple for Joyce.
00:05:38Ten years of love and his tenderness was never meant for me.
00:05:41I couldn't hold on any longer.
00:05:42I blacked out.
00:05:43When I woke up in the ICU that Lillian arranged, two days had passed.
00:05:49Daniela, how are you feeling?
00:05:51Don't worry.
00:05:52I'm fine.
00:05:53I opened my phone.
00:05:54The internet was flooded with accusations against me.
00:05:57Joyce was being praised as an innocent victim.
00:05:59We can't let Joyce win.
00:06:01The whole world thinks she's the kind, beautiful, rightful heir of the Harper family.
00:06:06It's laughable.
00:06:07You're the founder of Elite Luxury.
00:06:09If you hadn't given it all up for that useless man, you'd be at the top of the rich list.
00:06:13Who are these people to judge you?
00:06:16Of course I'm not going to let them slander me.
00:06:19I've made a decision.
00:06:21I'm filing for divorce.
00:06:25You've finally come to your senses?
00:06:26I thought that jerk was going to ruin your entire life.
00:06:31Was I really that hopeless before?
00:06:33Absolutely.
00:06:34You were completely lost.
00:06:36Lying in my hospital bed, I called my legal department to prepare the divorce papers.
00:06:40How much compensation do you want from Alexander?
00:06:45I lost my mother at five.
00:06:47I built my brand from nothing.
00:06:48I was a billionaire before I turned 18.
00:06:51I don't need a single cent from Alexander.
00:06:53I don't want his dirty money.
00:06:59After I was discharged, I immediately called Alexander.
00:07:03His secretary answered, dripping with contempt.
00:07:06Daniela, what now?
00:07:08I need to speak with Alexander.
00:07:10Mr. Bennett is in a meeting.
00:07:12Tell him to meet me at the courthouse tomorrow at 8 a.m.
00:07:14We're getting a divorce.
00:07:16In reality, while I was on the phone with his secretary, Alexander wasn't in any meeting.
00:07:20He was getting cozy with Joyce.
00:07:22Yes, Daniela wants a divorce, she said tomorrow morning at 8 at the courthouse.
00:07:26This is all my fault.
00:07:27You were taking care of me in the hospital.
00:07:29Of course, Daniela is angry and jealous.
00:07:32Maybe I should go apologize to her.
00:07:34Don't worry about it.
00:07:35None of this is your fault.
00:07:36Daniela is just petty.
00:07:37She wants a divorce?
00:07:38Fine.
00:07:39I'll be at the courthouse tomorrow.
00:07:41Let's see if she really dares to go through with it.
00:07:44Alexander, she can't really want a divorce.
00:07:46She's just trying to scare you.
00:07:48If you actually agree, she'll be humiliated.
00:07:51Don't go, okay?
00:07:52If I don't go, she'll keep threatening me with divorce forever.
00:07:55Who can live like that?
00:07:56And the fire was her fault.
00:07:58Joyce, you've been wronged.
00:08:04I'll make sure Daniela pays.
00:08:07I returned to my hotel, feeling nothing but relief.
00:08:11Leaving that man was far easier than I ever imagined.
00:08:15Welcome back.
00:08:17When do we leave for headquarters?
00:08:20Get Ryan over here.
00:08:21The divorce is happening, but I also need to clear my name.
00:08:31Ryan, Daniela wants to see you.
00:08:34Daniela, what's up?
00:08:36Starting tomorrow morning, release that recording and the surveillance footage online.
00:08:41Run it everywhere for a full week.
00:08:45Early the next morning, Daniela arrives at the courthouse in a striking white dress.
00:08:52Passersby turn to stare.
00:09:00While waiting to divorce Alexander, a stranger flirted with me, which made him burn with jealousy.
00:09:10Daniela, don't test my patience.
00:09:12I've had enough.
00:09:14You won't have to put up with me much longer.
00:09:16I've been waiting over three hours.
00:09:18Let's just get this done.
00:09:19I'll give you one last chance.
00:09:21Admit you started the fire and get on your knees to apologize to Joyce.
00:09:25Do that and I'll consider forgetting the whole thing.
00:09:28Don't waste my time.
00:09:29My knees don't bend for anyone.
00:09:34Sign here.
00:09:36Daniela!
00:09:38Let me be clear.
00:09:39You want a divorce?
00:09:41You won't get a penny of my money.
00:09:43That little sum of yours?
00:09:44Give it to Joyce.
00:09:45She might need it for her medical bills one day.
00:09:47Daniela, do you really think throwing a tantrum and getting a divorce will solve all your problems?
00:09:51Do you know Joyce had nightmares for days after that fire?
00:09:53You should be begging her for forgiveness.
00:09:55Pay for what you've done.
00:09:57Alexander, I completely agree.
00:09:59People really do have to pay Faye for their mistakes.
00:10:02Joyce, I won't let you escape the punishment you deserve.
00:10:06An hour later, I boarded my private jet and left Orishwa City behind, leaving everything in the past.
00:10:16At the same time, at Phillips Group headquarters, a secretary knocked and walked into a large conference room.
00:10:22This meeting is about an $80 million project.
00:10:25How dare you barge in?
00:10:27Mr. Phillips, Ms. Harper has finalized her divorce.
00:10:32Really?
00:10:34This meeting is adjourned.
00:10:36Kevin, book me on the next flight to Elite Luxury Headquarters.
00:10:42Unprecedented.
00:10:43A five-minute meeting?
00:10:45Where is Mr. Phillips rushing off to?
00:10:48If all goes well, Mr. Phillips will be getting married very soon.
00:10:52The executives exchange bewildered glances.
00:10:55At the same time, the recording of Joyce confessing went liberal online.
00:11:00The hashtag exploded instantly.
00:11:02Inside the Harper home, Joyce was losing her mind.
00:11:05That's not my voice!
00:11:07It's slander!
00:11:08Daniella set me up to ruin my reputation!
00:11:11You see how evil she is?
00:11:14I'm calling the police right now!
00:11:16But experts confirmed the recording and footage were authentic and unaltered.
00:11:19Joyce was publicly destroyed.
00:11:21Public opinion flipped completely.
00:11:23Netsits rally behind me, condemning Joyce, Alexander, and Caden.
00:11:26Meanwhile, in Alexander's office.
00:11:28What is PR doing?
00:11:29A scandal this big breaks and no one tells me?
00:11:32Mr. Bennett, the topic's had bloated too fast.
00:11:33It looks like a hacker orchestrated it.
00:11:35We can't suppress it at the moment.
00:11:36Tech is working on it.
00:11:37They expect a solution soon.
00:11:38Daniella, you've really pushed me to the edge this time.
00:11:41Alexander tried to call me, only to realize I'd blocked him.
00:11:44Then my father, Caden, called him.
00:11:47What is going on with Daniella?
00:11:48Joyce is at home crying her eyes out!
00:11:49I divorced Daniella today.
00:11:51What?
00:11:51Daniella dared to divorce you?
00:11:53How dare she?
00:11:55The news of our divorce is all over the internet.
00:12:00Caden gasped, his rage triggering a collapse.
00:12:03He fell to the floor and was rushed to the hospital.
00:12:06In the hospital room, everyone crowded around Caden's bed.
00:12:09Alexander, you've been wronged.
00:12:11Our family has produced an ungrateful monster.
00:12:14Joyce explained everything.
00:12:15That recording and footage are fake.
00:12:17She never said those things.
00:12:18Exactly!
00:12:19All lies!
00:12:20Alexander, don't let the divorce trouble you.
00:12:23You and Joyce grew up together.
00:12:26You're a perfect match.
00:12:29The Harper and Bennett families always had a marriage pact.
00:12:33Alexander, you can marry Joyce instead.
00:12:37I'm going to make a public statement right now, disowning Daniella as my daughter.
00:12:41From today on, Joyce is my only daughter.
00:12:44Dad, I'll take good care of you.
00:12:45I'll be there for you until the end.
00:12:46Look at how close they are.
00:12:48Alexander, when do you think we should get married?
00:12:54I need to discuss this with my family first.
00:13:00Joyce's eager expression freezes.
00:13:03After Alexander leaves the room, Joyce rushes after him.
00:13:06Her tear-reddened eyes full of sorrow and grievance.
00:13:09Alexander, is it because I'm not dad's binacle daughter that you're hesitating?
00:13:13Is that the real reason you won't marry me?
00:13:15Do you look down on me like everyone else?
00:13:17The recording and surveillance footage were not tampered with.
00:13:20Experts have verified they are real.
00:13:21Joyce crumbled.
00:13:22She never imagined Alexander would investigate for himself.
00:13:24She fell to her knees, sobbing.
00:13:26Alexander, please believe me.
00:13:28I was desperate.
00:13:29Danielle Nuyo, behind my back, she always mocked me as the stepmother stray.
00:13:32She pushed me to the edge.
00:13:33I made a mistake in a moment of desperate.
00:13:35Alexander, please believe me.
00:13:37You've seen Danielle's true colors.
00:13:39Just be more careful in the future.
00:13:42You're already under a microscope.
00:13:44Don't make things worse for yourself.
00:13:52The Harper Group hired a PR firm to manage the fallout.
00:13:55But Cedric stepped in and sent the scandal treading again.
00:14:02Caden texted me, threatening to disown me if I didn't kill the story within three days.
00:14:07Alexander hired private investigators to find me.
00:14:10They came up empty.
00:14:12I've paid you a fortune.
00:14:13You can't find one defenseless woman?
00:14:15Mr. Bennett, my team is the best in the country.
00:14:17If she's managed to evade us, no one will find her.
00:14:19But I have to ask, are you sure she's just an ordinary woman?
00:14:23Alexander frowns.
00:14:24He never imagined I had such secrets.
00:14:27An ordinary woman?
00:14:28Of course he didn't know.
00:14:30I am the CEO of Elite Luxury, one of the richest people in the world.
00:14:34Someone like him thinks he can just find me?
00:14:38Three months later, Oriswind City was rocked by explosive news.
00:14:42The city's landmark, the Luxor Tower, had been bought by a mysterious tycoon.
00:14:49An offer too high to refuse.
00:14:52At that moment, Alexander was in a banquet hall when he received an urgent call from his father, Richard.
00:15:04Have you heard?
00:15:06The Luxor Tower was just bought by the CEO of Elite Luxury.
00:15:10That's a multinational design powerhouse worth billions.
00:15:13An absolute industry leader.
00:15:16If we can get in with them, the possibilities are endless.
00:15:20I hear the CEO is coming to inspect the renovations tomorrow.
00:15:23Bring your best portfolio.
00:15:24Try to land a collaboration.
00:15:25Can you find out what the CEO likes?
00:15:27No luck.
00:15:28They're very low profile.
00:15:29No public information.
00:15:30But he probably likes fine wine or luxury watches.
00:15:33Bring a lavish gift.
00:15:34Make a good impression.
00:15:35Oh, and if you can, take Joyce with you.
00:15:37Uh, Caden adores Joyce.
00:15:39Treats her like his own flesh and blood.
00:15:40If the Harper fortune really ends up in her hands, marrying her wouldn't be a bad move.
00:15:44Daniela is useless now.
00:15:45Time to cut her loose completely.
00:15:47Alexander stood frozen, expressionless, eyes downcast.
00:15:51At the same time, Cedric entered the banquet hall.
00:15:54Every powerful figure rose to greet him respectfully.
00:15:57Don't mess with that guy.
00:15:58I heard he just bought the Skyline Tower right across from Luxonneau.
00:16:01He's planning to be neighbors with the CEO of Elite Luxury, a powerhouse alliance.
00:16:10When Alexander raised his glass to toast this new tycoon, he is completely ignored.
00:16:17Did you offend Mr. Phillips?
00:16:20No.
00:16:20You'd better be careful.
00:16:22He's not someone to cross.
00:16:23Offend him, and he'll retaliate endlessly.
00:16:39What time should I pick you up?
00:16:41Who could make that cold man go pick her up himself?
00:16:48He didn't dwell on it.
00:16:50Instead, he rushed off to buy a gift for the CEO of Elite Luxury.
00:16:54Time was running out.
00:17:00He wanted this partnership not only to expand his business empire, but also to prove he
00:17:04was better off without me.
00:17:05What he never expected was that the person he was trying to impress was me.
00:17:09Just then, Alexander's phone rings again.
00:17:12What?
00:17:12The CEO of Elite Luxury is arriving early?
00:17:15What if?
00:17:16You know, just what if?
00:17:17That's why we need to pick out his gift fast.
00:17:20Joyce on the other end of the line giggled.
00:17:24Alexander had no reason to blame Joyce.
00:17:27He really had to choose a gift for me as soon as possible.
00:17:39After the banquet, in a large shopping mall.
00:17:43Alexander, bringing me along was the smartest thing you've done.
00:17:46I asked around.
00:17:47The CEO of Elite Luxury is a handsome guy who loves golf.
00:17:50Imagine giving him a golf club.
00:17:51He'll be thrilled.
00:17:53Are you sure?
00:17:54Of course.
00:17:55My friend has great connections.
00:17:57This intel is solid.
00:17:58Come on.
00:17:59Trust me, Alexander.
00:18:00My friend knows him well and even promised to introduce us later.
00:18:04Let's just pick out a club.
00:18:09Alexander was led into the golf shop by Joyce.
00:18:11What do you think of this one?
00:18:13The camera focused on the price tag showing $8,000.
00:18:17Then Alexander frowned.
00:18:19The price?
00:18:22Do you know how hard it is to make money these days?
00:18:24Besides, my friend is arranging the meeting.
00:18:26We don't need to go overboard on the gift.
00:18:27The president of Elite Luxury has everything.
00:18:29What maz is our sincerity, not the price.
00:18:31Trust me, Alexander.
00:18:32My friend won't let you down.
00:18:33When we meet, you just focus on your puzzle.
00:18:35Everything will go smoothly.
00:18:37I promise.
00:18:38You're sure?
00:18:39Of course.
00:18:40Just have the golf shop wrap it up nicely.
00:18:43I'm not like spoiled Danielle, so picky about everything.
00:19:00Alexander took the cue home, and Richard was very shocked when he saw the price tag.
00:19:19You're not seriously planning to give that to the president of Elite Luxury, are you?
00:19:24Joyce's stinginess is etched into her bones.
00:19:26Pathetic.
00:19:27And now you want to hand the president of Elite Luxury this piece of junk?
00:19:31Alexander, are you trying to humiliate yourself?
00:19:33Just got reliable intel.
00:19:35The president's private jet has landed early.
00:19:36He'll be at Luxon Tower within the hour.
00:19:38Remember that club Danielle gave me a while back?
00:19:40Way better than this.
00:19:42Perfect for the president of Elite Luxury.
00:19:44Is it custom?
00:19:45It's a masterpiece by a world-renowned golf club artist.
00:19:49One of a kind.
00:19:50Priceless.
00:19:51Over $4 million.
00:19:54How did she have that kind of money?
00:19:56The day I arrived at the Luxon Air building,
00:19:59Joyce was still bragging to Alexander about the information she had gathered under the Luxon building.
00:20:05The president of Elite Luxury is a genius.
00:20:07He led a young elite team to global fame as a teenager.
00:20:10He defied everyone and turned a simple design sketch into an overnight sensation.
00:20:13Now he's the richest man in the world.
00:20:15Despite his massive wealth, he's low-key and razor-sharp.
00:20:18Joyce got excited immediately when she saw my limited edition Lincoln car.
00:20:22Look, Alexander!
00:20:24That's the car!
00:20:25That must be him, the president of Elite Luxury.
00:20:30Lillian got out of the car first, and then I walked out from the back seat.
00:20:35In the blink of an eye, Joyce's excitement turned into complete shock.
00:20:41Danielle, what are you doing here, riding in the president's car?
00:20:44Kicked out of the Harper family, dumped by Alexander.
00:20:47So now you've gone and seduced the president of Elite Luxury, have you?
00:20:52Joyce frantically rushed into the car to search,
00:20:54but found it empty.
00:20:57Danielle, where is the president of Elite Luxury?
00:21:00What have you done with him?
00:21:03There's a crazy woman causing trouble here.
00:21:06Please handle it.
00:21:08The building manager quickly walked up to me with a respectful attitude.
00:21:12Hello, Miss Harper.
00:21:13Mr. Phillips had planned to greet you in person, but his car broke down.
00:21:16He should be here shortly.
00:21:19Also, as you requested, we have renamed the building.
00:21:22Security is tight at the entrance.
00:21:23No one enters without clearance.
00:21:25Remember, Miss Harper is not only our VIP, she's the new owner of this building.
00:21:29If anything displeases her, you will be terminated immediately.
00:21:34The manager and I walked into the building, and Joyce completely lost control when she saw the building had been
00:21:40renamed Harper.
00:21:47Alexander, do you see that?
00:21:50Danielle has not only hooked the president of Elite Luxury, she convinced him to rename the whole building after her.
00:21:57She must have him completely bewitched.
00:22:00Alexander, look.
00:22:01Danielle is ignoring you completely.
00:22:03Remember how she used to chase you relentlessly?
00:22:05Now that she has a little status, she's strutting around like a peacock.
00:22:08I bet she hasn't even told the president she's divorced.
00:22:10Once he shows up, I'll expose Danielle for the lying, scheming fraud she is.
00:22:15Joyce waited downstairs for another hour and couldn't help calling her friend to confirm.
00:22:22What are you talking about?
00:22:23My contact in security just confirmed the president of Elite Luxury is inside the building.
00:22:28Why are you still waiting outside?
00:22:33Joyce frowned, pulled Alexander into the building through the garbage chute, and even started a lav cast on her phone.
00:22:42Hello everyone, I'm Joyce.
00:22:44Today, something unbelievable has happened.
00:22:46I received word that I'd be meeting my sister, who's been missing for three months.
00:22:50Come with me to see my dear sister.
00:22:52Joyce ran into my office holding her phone, and Lillian wanted to step forward to stop her, but I held
00:22:56her back.
00:22:56Since she's here, let's not waste the opportunity.
00:22:59Her little drama will make for great free publicity.
00:23:02For my return, and for Elite Luxury.
00:23:05Wow, everyone, look.
00:23:06Can you believe my sister?
00:23:07After only three months away, cut off from the family financially,
00:23:10she's ended up in the most prestigious building in the city, personally escorted by the manager.
00:23:15Isn't my sister amazing?
00:23:16You'd better watch out.
00:23:18Some people just love to lie.
00:23:20I'll bet Danielle doesn't have $100 in her pocket right now.
00:23:23The manager wanted to step forward and explain, but we stopped him with a look.
00:23:27Hit a nerve, didn't I?
00:23:29You're right.
00:23:30I don't have $100 on me right now.
00:23:32You heard her, everyone.
00:23:33She just admitted.
00:23:34She doesn't have $100, but she's here pretending to be rich.
00:23:37So, Danielle, are you the president's mistress, or did you con the manager into letting you into this building?
00:23:42I used to think you were just shallow and materialistic, but now I see you're nothing but a common con
00:23:46artist.
00:23:47You should take a look in the mirror.
00:23:48See who the real ugly rat is.
00:23:50Joyce's face was flushed bright red, and she looked extremely angry.
00:23:55At the same time, the elevator doors opened, and Joshua Dennis walked out.
00:23:59Alexander, look! It's Joshua Dennis!
00:24:02The man I told you about!
00:24:03He knows the president of Elite Luxury.
00:24:05He's about to expose Danielle for the fraud she is.
00:24:08Joshua!
00:24:09Joshua completely ignored her and walked straight toward me.
00:24:12The camera focuses on Joshua's flattering expression and the look of urgent shock on Joyce's face beside him.
00:24:18Now, I don't need to prove anything to her, because soon she will trample her own face into the ground.
00:24:24Miss Harper, what an honor to meet you.
00:24:26I'm Joshua Dennis of Dennis Electronics.
00:24:28We crossed paths briefly at an international gala.
00:24:31It's a pleasure to see you again.
00:24:33My father had planned to come himself, but his car broke down.
00:24:36I've arranged a dinner, and I hope you'll do us the honor.
00:24:39Joshua, have you lost your mind?
00:24:41Did I hear that right?
00:24:42Wait, you're saying Danielle is the president of Elite Luxury?
00:24:47Joyce turned her face towards the guests at the scene again.
00:24:53Listen up, everyone.
00:24:54If Danielle is really the president of Elite Luxury, I will livestream myself eating my own hat for dessert.
00:25:00Joshua stormed forward angrily and slapped Joyce hard.
00:25:03Are you insane?
00:25:04Why did you hit me?
00:25:06Are you insane?
00:25:07Are you insane?
00:25:10Are you insane?
00:25:13What is wrong with you?
00:25:14She is the president of Elite Luxury, and you're standing here talking about eating feasts?
00:25:19Where are your manners?
00:25:20I told you to bring a gift, not to come here and insult people.
00:25:23Joyce pointed to the cheaper box in Alexander's hand.
00:25:30That one.
00:25:33Mrs. Harper, I am so sorry for this disturbance.
00:25:36This is Joyce Holt, an acquaintance from Overseed a few years ago.
00:25:39She's not herself today, but she's a huge fan of yours.
00:25:41She even brought you a gift.
00:25:43A huge fan?
00:25:44This golf club?
00:25:45The symbol focused to beat her dollar 8,000 trophies.
00:25:48Then I gave a mocking smile.
00:25:50Eight thousand dollars.
00:25:53Joshua's face was flushed, and he hersily shoved the cue back into the case.
00:25:57Miss Harper, I am so sorry.
00:25:59These two are clearly not thinking straight.
00:26:01Then Joshua broke down and shouted at Joyce and the other person in anger.
00:26:05Joyce, are you really this stupid?
00:26:07This is Miss Harper, the president of Elite Luxury.
00:26:09Her holdings includes thousands of acres of golf courses, and you give her an $8,000 golf club?
00:26:15Are you insane?
00:26:16Joshua frantically opened another box, and only then did his expression relax, showing a look of a relief.
00:26:22Miss Harper, please consider the first club a small token.
00:26:25This is the real gift.
00:26:26Is this golf club really for me?
00:26:28Well, more to the handle of the cue, on which the exquisite senior Bennett was engreived.
00:26:32I didn't realize the Bennett family had gone into the golf club business.
00:26:37Re-gifting, are we?
00:26:39Mr. Bennett, you really have a head for business.
00:26:41Since Mr. Bennett has treated our lobin's heartfelt living like trash, you certainly have the right to take it back.
00:26:46Then Lillian stepped forward, reached out to hold the handle of the cue, and took it back.
00:26:50The atmosphere at sea become extremely undone, with only Joyce still muttering to herself in disbelief.
00:26:55How is this possible? How?
00:26:58Joshua, stop pretending. How much did Danielle pay you to cook up this ridiculous lie? It's not funny.
00:27:05Joshua's face turned bright red, feeling extremely embarrassed.
00:27:10Danielle, you're something else.
00:27:13You even hacked the elite luxury website to spread fake news. Just wait until they find out and sue you.
00:27:18Joyce's laughter echoed through the room, almost madly.
00:27:22Alexander, you don't actually believe this nonsense, do you?
00:27:25This is Danielle we're talking about.
00:27:27How could she suddenly become the president of elite luxury?
00:27:30How could Danielle own a landmark building in Oris Swin?
00:27:35Alexander, don't let her fool you!
00:27:37If you really are the president of elite luxury, why have you hidden it all this time?
00:27:44Do you think this is funny?
00:27:46I guess you forgot.
00:27:48You were always too busy with your own affairs.
00:27:51To give me a chance to explain.
00:27:54Weren't you?
00:27:55Alexander's face changed drastically, full of frustration and anger.
00:27:59Let's go.
00:27:59Wait.
00:28:00Take your $8,000 golf club with you.
00:28:03Even our caddies wouldn't use something so cheap.
00:28:06Joshua shamefully pushed Alexander and Joyce out of the elevator.
00:28:13Dad, Danielle is the president of elite luxury now.
00:28:16She owns the most famous building in Oris Swin.
00:28:18Can you ask her to give me a floor?
00:28:20Caden stopped in his tracks, his face full of hesitation.
00:28:23This is all my fault.
00:28:24When you married me, Danielle's mother had just died.
00:28:27After all these years, Danielle has resented me.
00:28:29I understand.
00:28:29I don't blame her.
00:28:30It's because I loved you too much.
00:28:32I'll go apologize to Danielle.
00:28:34If she won't accept it, I'll kneel and beg her forgiveness.
00:28:36Sisters shouldn't become enemies because of their parents' mistake.
00:28:38Why apologize for the past?
00:28:40As her father, do I need her permission to choose who I spend my life with?
00:28:44Joyce, you've always been sensible.
00:28:46Your sister is the one being unreasonable.
00:28:49Don't worry.
00:28:50I'll talk to Danielle.
00:28:51Which floor would you like for your new office?
00:28:53Dad, I consulted a fortune teller.
00:28:55He recommended the 18th floor.
00:28:57Great views and very auspicious.
00:28:59Everyone at Oris Swin knows that the 18th floor of the landmark building is the best location.
00:29:04On my wedding day, my scheming sister deliberately started a fire, and my heartless husband, ignoring
00:29:09my safety, carried my sister out of the inflearni without so much as a backward glance.
00:29:26When I woke up alone in a cheap hospital room, surrounded by cold silence, my new husband
00:29:31was nowhere to be found.
00:29:35Where is your family?
00:29:40Aren't you the bride from that fire on the news?
00:29:42Your husband isn't with you?
00:29:44He's upstairs, taking care of someone else.
00:29:47What?
00:29:48But that girl just had a scratched hand!
00:29:50There's a whole team fussing over her upstairs.
00:29:52So unfair.
00:29:53Try not to move.
00:29:54You'll make your injuries worse.
00:29:55If no one can look after you, I'll arrange a nurse.
00:29:57That was the day I married Alexander, and the day of fire consumed everything.
00:30:02I woke up in a shabby room with broken ribs and a scarred left cheek.
00:30:05Meanwhile, my husband Alexander was feeding my sister Joyce.
00:30:08Caden, is this karma?
00:30:10My past mistakes falling on my daughter?
00:30:13No.
00:30:14This is just a tragic accident.
00:30:16None of it is your fault.
00:30:17Dad, it wasn't an accident.
00:30:18It was murder.
00:30:18Danielle hated that you and Alexander favored me.
00:30:20She's evil.
00:30:20There were only two of us in that fire.
00:30:22She pushed me.
00:30:23She wanted me dead.
00:30:24Joyce isn't your biological daughter, but she's always treated you like her real father.
00:30:27Married you and never had another child.
00:30:28Why does Danielle want Joyce to suffer?
00:30:41Danielle, stop deluding yourself.
00:30:43There's no need to keep pretending.
00:30:44You've always been jealous of how much everyone favors Joyce.
00:30:47You were so vile, you destroyed our wedding.
00:30:49I never imagined you could be this evil.
00:30:51I swear, I didn't push Joyce.
00:30:53She told me she had a wedding gift for me in the storage room.
00:30:56As soon as we went in, the fire started.
00:30:57There are security cameras in the warehouse.
00:31:00Even if the fire destroyed them, there must be backup storage.
00:31:03Enough.
00:31:04You're just making excuses.
00:31:06Surveillance can be faked.
00:31:07I don't believe a single word you say, you lying woman.
00:31:11I'm your wife.
00:31:13Why won't you believe me?
00:31:14No, let me go.
00:31:17She has broken ribs.
00:31:19She needs rest.
00:31:20This is abuse.
00:31:25How dare you show your face here?
00:31:27Do you have any idea how badly your sister is hurt?
00:31:33Dad, have you forgotten I'm your own flesh and blood?
00:31:37Do you remember how you promised after mom died that you'd never remarry and would take care of me?
00:31:43This is how you take care of me?
00:31:44You did something wrong.
00:31:46Leave me out of it.
00:31:47You've gotten so bold, you talk back to me now?
00:31:49Danielle, do you want dad to die alone?
00:31:52Who will take care of him when he gets sick?
00:31:55Danielle, apologize to Joyce.
00:31:57Kane didn't hesitate to snatch the phone from the servant's hand and dial my number again.
00:32:03This is Ms. Harper's office.
00:32:05She's in a meeting and can't take your call.
00:32:08Who's calling, please?
00:32:09I'm Danielle's father.
00:32:11Tell her to give me an explanation.
00:32:14Blocking me, her mother, and her sister?
00:32:16Why would she do this?
00:32:18Just because she's rich?
00:32:20How could there be such an ungrateful daughter?
00:32:22If I remember correctly, you publicly announced five days ago that you were cutting ties with Ms. Harper.
00:32:28According to you, you're no longer her father.
00:32:30So why do you still expect her to answer your call?
00:32:33Ms. Harper is in a meeting and can't take your call.
00:32:36Would you like me to leave a message?
00:32:38What did you just say?
00:32:39I'm her biological father.
00:32:42Without my care and sacrifice, she wouldn't be where she is today.
00:32:46Even if we cut ties, she should be the one to fix things.
00:32:49She's always been nothing but a disappointment to me.
00:32:52Tell Danielle to call me back within an hour.
00:32:54And the Luxnode building is hers, right?
00:32:57I want the 18th to 20th floors.
00:32:58Lillian was stunned, unable to believe it.
00:33:01She found it hard to believe that there could be someone so shameless.
00:33:05I'm sorry, could you say that again?
00:33:07Don't pretend you didn't hear me.
00:33:08The building is under renovation, isn't it?
00:33:11Set up those three floors.
00:33:12I'll send you my design plans later.
00:33:14They must be done exactly as I designed.
00:33:17Understood?
00:33:18After I finished the meeting, Linian conveyed Caden's request to me.
00:33:21Your father said he'll send someone over with the renovation designs.
00:33:25He also demanded that you call him back within an hour.
00:33:27Has an hour passed yet?
00:33:30Just over a minute.
00:33:32Good.
00:33:33Then there's no need to call back now.
00:33:35What about the designs?
00:33:37Caden, unable to wait for my return call, became extremely anxious.
00:33:41It seems Danielle isn't going to call back.
00:33:43They say once a daughter marries, she's no longer family.
00:33:45She's clearly distancing herself from you, dear.
00:33:47Maybe you should accept reality.
00:33:49Joyce leaned on Kertner, and the two hugged each other loudly and exaggerated.
00:33:52The endless crying wore down Caden's patience.
00:33:56He suddenly smashed his most beloved cup on the ground and stormed upstairs in anger.
00:34:04Mom, what do we do now?
00:34:05Get Alexander to talk to her.
00:34:07Danielle has always been lovesick.
00:34:09She'll believe anything he says.
00:34:11If he asks, she won't refuse.
00:34:13Those three floors are worth a fortune.
00:34:14You have to get them.
00:34:15Richard waited for Alexander to come home and began persuading him to win me back.
00:34:20Did you see Danielle today?
00:34:22I had people look into it.
00:34:23It's confirmed.
00:34:24She is the president of Elite Luxury.
00:34:26What do you think?
00:34:28What exactly are you trying to say?
00:34:30I know Caden wants you to marry Joyce, but that was before we knew Danielle's true identity.
00:34:34Now, if you marry Danielle, our family could rise to the top of Oriswin overnight for the
00:34:39sake of the family that's your smartest move.
00:34:41In the past, Danielle was just one of many Wyn who admired you.
00:34:45Now her position is completely different.
00:34:47You must take her seriously.
00:34:49Seduce her.
00:34:50Give her a little hope, but never satisfy her completely.
00:34:52Keep her wanting.
00:34:54Desire is the chase for what you can't have.
00:34:56Richard arrogantly gave a bunch of advice, and for a moment, he thought he was a seasoned
00:35:02strategist.
00:35:04What he didn't expect was that some things are irreversible.
00:35:10At this moment, Joyce thought that getting the three-story property was already a done
00:35:15deal and brought her friend to sneak into the 18th floor early.
00:35:20Joyce, you're amazing.
00:35:22This is the most sought-after building in Oriswin, and Danielle is just giving up.
00:35:26Giving you these floors?
00:35:27Of course.
00:35:28Everyone spoils me.
00:35:30No one dares to defy me.
00:35:32Does that mean the entire Harper fortune will be yours someday?
00:35:36Obviously.
00:35:37Joyce is the sole heir.
00:35:40Grace and power personified.
00:35:42Oh, I owe it.
00:35:43The elevator arrived, and I walked out holding the design plans, seeing the whole room full
00:35:49of people, looking very displeased.
00:35:52How did they get up here?
00:35:54Hi, Danielle.
00:35:55What are you doing up here?
00:35:57I squinted my eyes and looked coldly at the fine front, the group people flattering me
00:36:01in front, and the scene fell into dead silence.
00:36:04Miss Harper, I'm so sorry.
00:36:05I saw them coming in together and assumed they were from the design for me.
00:36:08I didn't verify their identities, Ms. Waning and Mjinshin.
00:36:10Install facial recognition throughout the entire building.
00:36:13From now on, only people registered in the system may enter.
00:36:16Understood.
00:36:18Joyce, what's going on?
00:36:19Your sister didn't give you these floors at all.
00:36:21Why did you bring us up here?
00:36:22Joyce, we don't want to cause trouble for our families.
00:36:25My parents specifically told me to be respectful to Danielle.
00:36:28What were you thinking?
00:36:30Bringing us here to offend her.
00:36:32Danielle, what do you mean by tightening building security?
00:36:36Aren't I your sister?
00:36:38You, my sister?
00:36:40I wouldn't dare.
00:36:41Calling you my sister is absurd.
00:36:43What do you mean by that?
00:36:44You won't acknowledge me as your sister?
00:36:46You won't even acknowledge dad?
00:36:48Just because you have money, you can abandon your family?
00:36:50Am I still family?
00:36:53If I remember correctly, you were the one who pushed them to disown me, weren't you?
00:36:57Or am I mistaken?
00:36:59Yes, they did disown you.
00:37:01But dad raised you.
00:37:03You owe it to him to take care of him.
00:37:04Of course I'll take care of him.
00:37:06That's only right.
00:37:07But you?
00:37:08I owe you nothing.
00:37:09I don't have time for your nonsense.
00:37:11Take your people and get out of my building.
00:37:13Oh, really?
00:37:15You won't even acknowledge dad?
00:37:17What about Richard?
00:37:18Alexander's father.
00:37:19He sent me here today to inspect this place.
00:37:22Are you insane?
00:37:23When using Caden didn't work, now you drag Richard into it?
00:37:27He hasn't been anything to me for a long time.
00:37:30Joyce, do you have any brains at all or are they just for decoration?
00:37:35You dare defy dad and Richard?
00:37:38I'll have them cut you off completely.
00:37:41Go ahead.
00:37:43Do it.
00:37:44I just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:37:45I signaled the security guard to forcibly drive Joyce and her group loath.
00:37:50This scene was captured by passersby and uploaded online, and Joyce became the subject
00:37:54of public ridicule.
00:37:55That night, Lillian took me to an auction.
00:37:57I sat in the front row browsing online reviews, a smile appearing at the corner of my mouth.
00:38:02Look who's here.
00:38:04Miss Trouble herself, bringing a whole heap of drama.
00:38:07I looked up and saw Alexander and Joyce walking over, with Joyce leaning against Alexander.
00:38:13Alexander, do you see?
00:38:14Danielle is still obsessed with you.
00:38:16The moment you walked in, she smiled.
00:38:19How shameless.
00:38:20Alexander, Danielle is turning the internet against me.
00:38:23You have to do something about her.
00:38:25Alexander remained silent.
00:38:27His expression stern and completely unruffled.
00:38:29The auction began, and Joyce kept holding up paddles, squandering the property my mother
00:38:33left to the Harper family.
00:38:35This is too much.
00:38:36That's your mother's money.
00:38:38She was the backbone of Harper Group.
00:38:39And now that woman is wasting it?
00:38:41Danielle, how can you be so calm?
00:38:43I'm about to explode.
00:38:44No point getting angry.
00:38:47My mother chose to marry Caden.
00:38:49He has the right to inherit part of her wealth.
00:38:52How he spends it is none of my business.
00:38:55When a jade tiger was presented, Lillian's eyes lit up.
00:38:59I was happy to make my people happy, so I raised my card.
00:39:0417 million.
00:39:0617 million and one.
00:39:0818 million.
00:39:1018 million and one.
00:39:1219 million.
00:39:14Joyce suddenly showed a weak and helpless expression on her face.
00:39:17Her eyes were filled with tears as she grabbed Alexander's sleeve.
00:39:20Alexander, Danielle is deliberately humiliating me in front of everyone.
00:39:24Enough!
00:39:24How long are you going to keep slandering Danielle?
00:39:27This is a legitimate auction.
00:39:29If you can't afford it, just admit it.
00:39:30Don't blame others when you lose.
00:39:32Stop acting.
00:39:33Enough, Danielle.
00:39:35A figure shielded me from behind.
00:39:37It was Cedric.
00:39:38Stop this nonsense, Mr. Bennett.
00:39:41Who is really crossing the line here?
00:39:43Danielle made the mistake of falling for you once.
00:39:45Now you think you can still bully her?
00:39:48Enough talk.
00:39:49This ends here.
00:39:53Don't wrestle with pigs.
00:39:54They love rolling in the mud.
00:39:56And you'll only get dirty.
00:40:05Thank you, Danielle.
00:40:07After the auction, I'm talking with the organizers when Joyce snaps a photo from a suggestive angle.
00:40:15Dad, look at Danielle.
00:40:16The organizer is old enough to be her father.
00:40:19How shameless can she be?
00:40:35Well, well, Danielle.
00:40:37Fancy meeting you here.
00:40:42You followed me in on purpose.
00:40:44Don't pretend otherwise, my dear sister.
00:40:47Fine.
00:40:48I followed you.
00:40:49But what's so great about you, Danielle?
00:40:52Just because you have a little money?
00:40:54Not a little money.
00:40:57A lot of money.
00:40:59More than you could earn in ten lifetimes.
00:41:04So yes, go ahead and be jealous.
00:41:07Danielle, why do you treat me like this?
00:41:09I know you like Alexander, but I truly love him too.
00:41:13Don't I have the right to love someone?
00:41:16Fine, it's all my fault.
00:41:18Do you want me to kneel and apologize?
00:41:20I'll do it!
00:41:21Fine, kneel.
00:41:30You said you would kneel.
00:41:32So kneel.
00:41:36What are you waiting for?
00:41:37Can't do it?
00:41:39Were you just putting on a show?
00:41:50so what about it mr bennett are you still going to protect joyce
00:41:58don't test my patience push me any further and i promise you will both pay

00:46:31but after the performance the director goes on stage and makes an announcement that catches them off guard

00:46:45special guest the owner of this venue danielle harper she has been an accomplished musician since

00:48:19alexander looks visibly annoyed
00:48:32as i walk off the stage cedric hands me a bouquet i smile politely and takes it
00:48:41i scan the crowd and my eyes meet alexander's i find him utterly obnoxious and repulsive
00:48:58alexander's face darkens he turns to leave but keith grabs his arm to stop him then pulls out a
00:49:04business card and offers it to me miss harper we've met before at your wedding to alexander i'm keith

00:49:45i suppose it's time to settle things with my family in the living room joyce is ordering the
00:49:50housekeeper around demanding my belongings with arrogant entitlements these fruits are delicious

00:50:03up for me miss holt these fish are a special gift from mr phillips each one is worth over twenty
00:50:10thousand dollars look how luxuriously danielle lives just this aquarium alone must be worth a fortune

00:50:21joyce if you like it we'll have someone come later and take the whole aquarium
00:50:27my daughter has excellent taste dad i want that cabinet too it would be perfect in our house that
00:50:34cabinet was also a gift from mr phillips it's rare rosewood bought at auction it can't just be given

00:51:25her aside and continues directing the movers the movers nod bend down and lift the huge aquarium
00:51:31together just then the doorbell rings again the person who arrives is cedric his face is dark as he
00:51:40watches the scene unfold they're emptying the house mrs harper is still asleep mr phillips hello i'm joyce
00:51:51danielle's sister it's a pleasure to meet in the midst of this chaos they actually start plotting how to use
00:51:56cedric between cedric and alexander who do you prefer no question cedric and if joyce can successfully
00:52:05marry him no matter how powerful he is he'll have to respect me as his father-in-law mr cedric
00:52:11phillips
00:52:12you're a good friend of danielle's aren't you i'm katrina danielle's stepmother moving house early in
00:52:17the morning not moving joyce just felt that some of the furniture and decorations don't suit danielle's
00:52:22style we discussed it and decided to swap them out for something more to her place
00:52:26so the fish in the aquarium i gave they're not good enough for this house
00:52:34cedric is that what you're saying my gifts aren't good enough
00:52:39no of course not we would never think such a thing your gifts are naturally the best
00:52:43caden forces a stiff awkward smile but cedric doesn't even look at him staring coldly at his phone
00:52:49so should we continue moving the aquarium stays can we take them silence sedlik doesn't look up the
00:52:54oppressive quiet in the room grows heavier then the soft sound of a door opening upstairs breaks
00:52:59the stillness i come downstairs after washing up when i see the red mark on the housekeeper's face
00:53:04my anger flares danielle how disgraceful sleeping so late with that works ethic managing a company
00:53:09is a joke i glance briefly at katrina then on joyce a faint smile curling my lip what's so funny

01:02:18up again she should stay out of it i don't want her getting caught in the crossfire or getting her
01:02:23understood meanwhile joyce was frustrated with me and went home to cry to katrina
01:02:36mom did you see how arrogant danielle was yesterday i was so furious i could explode sweetheart
01:02:42let me tell you something important remember this in any family the man is the backbone
01:02:47win over the man in power and you control the whole household
01:02:55so have you decided what you really want is it alexander this time or cedric it used to be alexander
01:03:03but listen don't give up on alexander so easily you never know how things will turn out always
01:03:09leave yourself an escape route if circumstances change you'll still have options understand but mom
01:03:15what can i do cedric won't even look at me i've kept your father wrapped around my fangle for years
01:03:22if you use the right methods i guarantee cedric won't be able to resist you
01:03:29katrina whispered strategies to joyce and joyce's face was full of delight
01:03:38after a while katrina came to caden soufoff wrapping her hands around his neck
01:03:44caden i just had it with joyce i told her that demiel bouant gave her the lures that's fine we're
01:03:51family there's no need to fight over small things you're so understanding unlike that useless danielle
01:04:02joyce is grown now don't you think we should find her a good husband
01:04:06then we could have grandchildren sooner joyce and cedric would be a perfect match
01:04:17what did you just say katrina frowd her face full of confusion she looked at the man in front of
01:04:24her
01:04:24trying to understand what he was thinking katrine drick
01:04:32cedric you want him as a son-in-law are you joking do you have any idea who he is
01:04:38isn't he the president of phillips group an eligible bachelor one of the brightest new stars in the
01:04:44business world yes all that is due he became a business tycoon at 25 tell me how many 25 year
01:04:50olds
01:04:50in this country can do that what does being 25 have to do with it doesn't it just prove how
01:04:54capable he is what does it have to do with it do you really think ability alone is enough to
01:04:58survive
01:04:58in the cutthroat business world
01:05:03joyce is innocent but she's also naive all she does is squabble with danielle over trivial things
01:05:08do you really think she's fit to be cedric's wife you saw yesterday how cold he was to her
01:05:12cedric doesn't waste his time on people without substance what are you saying that joyce is stupid
01:05:18in fact caden not only thought joyce was stupid he doesn't have a very high opinion of katrina
01:05:23either that is exactly why he likes her he doesn't like women like my mom who are too smart
01:05:29joyce is no match for cedric even in looks she can't compare to danielle if we're talking about
01:05:35which daughter to pair with cedric danielle is the better choice joyce heard these words outside the door
01:05:44tears streaming down her face and her resentment towards me deepened
01:06:03baby don't cry if your dad won't help us we'll fight for our own happiness without relying on
01:06:09beery's but don't forget alexander he abandoned daniella for you if cedric's path doesn't work out
01:06:15he's a good backup option really but but i feel like the bennett family no longer values me last
01:06:22time i saw richard he was extremely cold as if he had no intention of letting me become his future
01:06:27daughter-in-law joyce walked out and caden saw her swollen red eyes look at her her emotions are
01:06:36written all over her face how is she supposed to deal with someone like cedric he's arrogant cold
01:06:41and ruthless he needs a sharp woman who can match him not a simpleton like joyce you're her mother
01:06:48you know her best that day while i was handling work in the office the concert hall manager suddenly
01:06:55called miss harper there's a problem at the hall a group of troublemakers brought tickets but instead
01:07:00of watching the performance they're shouting and disrupting everything we were about to call the
01:07:04police but the ring eater says she's your sister has the hall been damaged send me a list of damages

01:14:31gold mine

01:14:44renovation contract for that land got it the next day at the dinner party joyce was filled with
01:14:51admiration upon seeing alexander's attire wow alexander you're so handsome today alexander thank you for
01:14:57bringing me tonight i know you're also in a difficult situation danielle is so difficult to
01:15:01get along with to thank you i am willing to however when joyce saw cedric who's stunning handsome but
01:15:07was too came out the door and looked like he was leaving she immediately pushed open car door and
01:15:12rushed to him sir to be honest joyce is not worth giving up daniella for her i have never liked
01:15:20joyce
01:15:28how good can it be just another elite luxury dress the crowd dispersed and i appeared at the door
01:15:37wearing a deep blue dress became the tire of the tension she's coming this way see
01:15:47i told you she still has feelings for you alexander your charm is irresistible however i came to find
01:15:54lillian in front of him lillian
01:16:06alexander you didn't really think she was coming you for you did you that's hilarious throughout the
01:16:11dinner i never looked at alexander and his pent-up anger reached a critical point
01:16:24alexander look how arrogant danielle is just because she has a little money she has all these
01:16:29men swarming around her she really thinks she's queen of the world if you've got it you can be
01:16:34that confident too joyce pouted her face red with anger but he spoke in a way that left her speechless
01:16:44alexander when are you going to talk to danielle my boutique has been closed for weeks my inventory
01:16:49is sitting in a warehouse losing value i need that prime location to reopen are you serious you actually
01:16:56have the nerve to ask her for that location forget everything else you ruined danielle and alexander's
01:17:01wedding and now you want her store i've never seen such shamelessness mind your own business get lost
01:17:11alexander your taste is terrible giving up danielle for her huge mistake
01:17:20alexander i know danielle hates me but i really need that location will you please
01:17:26talk to her for me if you ask she'll definitely say yes please
01:17:34fine towards the end of the dinner
01:17:38alexander i was called by alexander and joyce
01:17:48danielle alexander wants to talk to you go ahead
01:17:55i need to speak with you you choose the place
01:18:06alexander did you see that you said you wanted to talk and she just walked away how rude can she
01:18:11be alexander was furious and decided to act as if i didn't exist from now on the two of them
01:18:17went home
01:18:18like this both feeling humiliated how did it go did danielle agree how many floors did she give
01:18:24joyce told katrina about the humiliation at the dinner
01:18:31what that's how she treats men well if that's the case she's destroyed any chance with alexander
01:18:36for good joyce still wants my property and after thinking it over she decided to take the initiative to find
01:18:44me
01:18:44pretending to run into me in the lobby
01:18:47unbelievable after everything that happened yesterday she still has the nerve to wave at you
01:18:51she wants my store she'll swallow some pride well well mr bennett miss holt finally ready to talk nicely or
01:18:58is basic
01:18:58politeity still beyond you of course let's sit down somewhere my treat danielle shall we sit for a while fine
01:19:04i can tell that lillian wants to play a prank on someone of course i will indulge her
01:19:16after sitting down i didn't even look at alexander and joyce took a contract out of my bag and scrimmed
01:19:22through it quickly say what you came to say hey look over here stop staring at danielle she's not the
01:19:29one
01:19:29calling the shots anymore i am the decision is lillian's fine then i'll talk to lillian is that
01:19:36how you speak to someone didn't anyone teach you manner joyce stood up to pour water but lillian
01:19:40interrupted her hold on is plain water all you offer when you're asking for a favor lilia raised her hand
01:19:47to call over the restaurant manager remember that ten thousand bottle of wine we mentioned earlier
01:19:52alexander open it put it on their tab 10 000 what is that a problem can't afford it that can't
01:20:00be
01:20:00aren't you the jewel of the harper family 10 000 should be nothing to you or does the jewel not
01:20:07actually
01:20:07have any value alexander open it lillian that's the bennett spirit spending 10 000 for love so touching
01:20:20the red wine was brought to the table and joyce was about to pour wine for lillian but was stopped
01:20:28since you're the host you should drink first or would mr bennett like to drink for you
01:20:33but this is between women it wouldn't be fair to bring a man into it otherwise i have plenty of
01:20:38people at home who can drink shall i call a few joyce gritted her teeth clearly very angry
01:20:47but lowered her head and drank three cups in a row there are you satisfied can we talk business now
01:20:56we can talk but it depends on my mood keep drinking joyce's vision is already blurry
01:21:05what do you mean by that you came here to ask for something didn't you then act like it show
01:21:11some respect
01:21:13look my water glass is empty i don't even have a glass of water how can we talk business
01:21:25are you playing with me what if i am what are you gonna do about it joyce drunk fell back
01:21:36into the
01:21:36chair lillian turned to alexander intending to pour herself some wine but i reached out to stop her
01:21:44don't drink on an empty stomach stop drinking say what you have to say i have a meeting you have
01:21:53five minutes
01:21:58joyce wants the floors in your building we talked about this before
01:22:04already leased to someone else
01:22:15to whom phillips group
01:22:21cedric phillips yes anything else
01:22:32what about the other floors there's one spot left in the basement
01:22:40next to the restrooms
01:22:45do you want it
01:22:51are you insane we drank the wine joyce is drunk and you offer a spot next to the bathrooms
01:22:57she runs a clothing boutique who wants to buy clothes next next to a restroom this is absurd
01:23:04then we have nothing to talk about that's the last available space market rate is 15 000 per square
01:23:10meter one year lease next year you'll have to bid like everyone else and mr bennett don't complain
01:23:17about the wine it only makes you look petty
01:23:21i turned around and left and lillian chuckled smugly
01:23:27go ahead and pretend danielle it won't help you'll come crawling back to me eventually
01:23:35when alexander sent joyce home katrina and caden were full of anticipation
01:23:39alexander how did it go with the store did you work it out yes he originally wanted to tell them
01:23:44to
01:23:44go check if the location was suitable but for some reason he didn't say much and only replied with a
01:23:49single word really katarina and caden mistakenly thought that alexander had finalized the florida
01:23:54of laos and they praised him endlessly i knew it such a difficult task and you got it done
01:23:59alexander expected of you dealing with stubborn as danielle must have been exhausting if you can
01:24:04also ask for a director position exactly that ungrateful wretch is getting harder to handle
01:24:09you're reliable alexander danielle still listens to you all right we won't keep you we'll count on
01:24:15you for the director position as well thank you
01:24:28when the drunken joyce woke up she really thought she had gotten the property
01:24:36joyce gathered friends to party in a bar claiming she had taken the 18th to 20th floors of a building
01:24:43and was appointed as the director with all expenses at the venue cut covered by her
01:24:49the next day joyce's rant went viral and lillian laughed uncontrollably when she saw it
01:24:58what's so funny has joyce lost her mind didn't you tell her only the spot next to the basement
01:25:04restroom was available how did it suddenly turn into the 18th to 20th floors and where did this
01:25:09director position even come from i'm sending this to the group chat everyone will laugh their heads off
01:25:17the next day i was in my room discussing with my partner when suddenly the office door was
01:25:23forcefully thrown open it turned out that this day joyce excitedly brought her belongings wanting to
01:25:29move into the elite and luxurious 18th floor but she was led by my admin staff to a forgotten corner
01:25:35next to the basement restroom pointing at a wobbly stool that was what she called her office they even
01:25:42handed her a toilet brush i'm going to kill you danielle i signaled to the security guard and the
01:25:52administrative manager to leave the room did i ever explicitly refuse you a director position
01:25:58no you didn't then you are a director no one has ever denied that director of toilets screw you danielle
01:26:04i am not your laughing stock is the elite luxury bathroom plated in gold why would it need a director
01:26:08you have to be messing with me believe it or not even at elite luxury headquarters there is a director
01:26:13in charge of restroom facilities does headquarters have a toilet director yes there is are there other
01:26:19types of director positions i really don't want to be called the toilet durance it sounds ridiculous
01:26:26toilet director that's your term not ours we would never call it that okay if not that what do you
01:26:32call it we call it the comfort director you are now officially a director of elite luxury this is a
01:26:38step up from selling clothes on the street isn't it joyce glared at her fiercely then stormed off without
01:26:43saying a word does your company really have a comfort director position lylan laughed so hard he
01:26:50couldn't straighten her back of course it's an honorary title we give to family members who help with the
01:26:54cleaning it's our way of showing respect their farce of demanding the property came to an end amidst
01:26:59joyce's clownish performance property position whatever she wanted i gave it all to her and everything she
01:27:05wants from now on i will also give her in full down to the last detail thinking of this i
01:27:12couldn't help but smile
