00:00:03Urgent? Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:00:11I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:00:14Who's the candidate?
00:00:16Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:00:32Miss me, babe?
00:00:35Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:00:40You're the only gift I want.
00:00:43There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:00:49If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:00:55Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:13Come here. Give me a hug.
00:01:16Something urgent came up at the Institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:01:23Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:01:31Sure. When things settle down.
00:01:40You're seriously here to submit the application? You should have discussed it with Mark.
00:01:50That bastard. I'll make him crawl on his knees begging for mercy.
00:01:54Come on. We're going back. I'll make him beg.
00:01:58No. I want him to truly regret everything.
00:02:05Come on, Elmar. Be good.
00:02:09Oh, good.
00:02:10I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:32Let go of me!
00:02:34Stella, please let me explain.
00:02:38Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:43It's not what it looks like. She's the daughter of a potential investor.
00:02:47Her culture is just... relaxed.
00:02:49I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:51Is that how you secure investments? By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:56It's for work. Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:02:59If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest. I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:03:06Don't you ever say that. Divorce is not an option.
00:03:13We work through things.
00:03:17Work through what? Him sleeping with someone else?
00:03:23It's... nothing.
00:03:25I saw the name. Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:48Clear them all out.
00:04:06Sorry. This card's no longer valid.
00:04:09That's a premium card. It can't be cancelled.
00:04:14It's cancelled now.
00:04:16What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:04:24How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:27You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:32Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:34Ah! Ella es escandalosa!
00:04:37Si eres lo suficientemente audaz para ser un amante, no finijas ser inocente.
00:04:42Hablo dieciséis idiomas.
00:04:45Stella.
00:04:47When will you learn Spanish?
00:04:51Ah, Mark, you must really love me, huh?
00:04:57He's okay, I was hurt! What are you doing?!
00:04:58Stella!
00:05:00What is it, Mr. Walsh?
00:05:02Hayley's just a friend.
00:05:04Do you have to humiliate us in public?
00:05:10Even if I walk in on you in bed, I should protect the family name?
00:05:14She's just a friend!
00:05:18Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:05:21And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:05:25And you, dear husband, don't get jealous.
00:05:49Mark, this is the end of us.
00:05:51Mark, this is the end of us.
00:06:03This ring has trapped me for three years.
00:06:06It's time to end it.
00:06:20Whiskey on the rocks.
00:06:28Where the hell is she?!
00:06:54Same.
00:07:01She wouldn't dare go to someone else!
00:07:04Calm down, she's just throwing a fit.
00:07:06Insane woman, what a disgrace.
00:07:18Wanna be my one night stand?
00:07:22Don't worry, I'm fun and clean.
00:07:25Ma'am, you're drunk.
00:07:59We're going home.
00:08:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:08:05What are you doing acting like this?
00:08:14She doesn't want to.
00:08:15Don't force her.
00:08:17Who are you?!
00:08:18This is none of your business!
00:08:25He's my friend.
00:08:27Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:08:30And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:08:37Mark, calm down. Let's go.
00:08:40Friends? Is that what you call it last night?
00:08:45Stop lying!
00:08:47Stop acting.
00:08:49I see right through you.
00:08:57Let's go.
00:08:58Now!
00:09:00I said don't force her.
00:09:10I want a divorce.
00:09:15No!
00:09:17We don't do divorce!
00:09:23I'm sorry, it's Saria.
00:09:35I'm sorry, it's Saria.
00:10:06I was like, I don't do this!
00:10:07I'm sorry!
00:10:07I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
00:10:08Just focus on work.
00:10:20He's so hot.
00:10:22You're flushing.
00:10:25I'm William, your project lead.
00:10:31Stella, your turn.
00:10:40The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:11:13The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:11:14Let's get into it.
00:11:16How long do you plan to hide?
00:11:18I wasn't hiding.
00:11:22Put this on.
00:11:30I'll return it later.
00:11:58Who is he?
00:12:00What are you to him?
00:12:04None of your business.
00:12:10It's another man's coat!
00:12:13You're wearing another man's coat!
00:12:15We're divorcing.
00:12:16You don't get to control me.
00:12:21We're talking at home.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:03Stop this.
00:13:05Let's fix this.
00:13:07It's too late.
00:13:11It's too late.
00:13:24A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Rascate.
00:13:28Want to give them a try tonight?
00:13:29I don't know.
00:14:09Stella, don't be like this.
00:14:11You know you're the only one I care about.
00:14:14Let me freshen up first, okay?
00:14:15No need. I don't mind.
00:14:18I want tonight to feel special.
00:14:21Something to remember.
00:14:22I won't take long.
00:14:34Two, one.
00:14:39Stella, something urgent came up at the office. I've got to go.
00:14:44Don't wait up for me. Just get some rest after your shower.
00:14:54You swore you loved me, but you never even see me.
00:14:58You never saw that I was already gone.
00:15:11Goodbye, Mark.
00:15:14Stella?
00:15:16You... you came back.
00:15:29What are you burning?
00:15:37Weird. How come Mark's back so early today?
00:15:40What are you burning?
00:15:42Nothing important. Just old junk. Why are you back?
00:15:45I forgot something. I'll just run upstairs and grab it.
00:15:54I'm sorry, Stella. Work has been non-stop. I promise I'll make it up to you.
00:15:59His phone lit up. I saw Haley's name.
00:16:02I've got to run.
00:16:04How come he's heading out this late at night?
00:16:06He's definitely got something to hide.
00:16:10The entire box was gone.
00:16:12He took them all for her.
00:16:14He was just in this room and didn't even notice our wedding photo is missing.
00:16:20Now that Mark's not here, I can finally get a proper night's sleep.
00:16:27Lainey, is Mr. Briggs not in today?
00:16:29Why the sudden interest in the boss?
00:16:31Yes. It's not like that. I had an accident, my period, and he lent me his coat. I'm just returning
00:16:35it.
00:16:36Relax. He's in meetings all day. You won't catch him.
00:16:39Mr. Briggs, the jacket you lent me was custom made, so I bought another of equal value.
00:16:44If you're not satisfied, feel free to contact me.
00:16:47And I wrote down my number.
00:16:53My phone rang.
00:16:55It was my husband Mark's assistant.
00:16:58Calling about the patents I'd let him use for free for years.
00:17:05He can't even call me himself.
00:17:07He sends an assistant to handle business.
00:17:10Tell him not to bother.
00:17:11I'm coming to the office.
00:17:13Today.
00:17:14Today.
00:17:14Today.
00:17:18Today.
00:17:18Today.
00:17:19Today.
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh, it's been a while. What brings you in? I'm here to sign a contract. Is Mark in his
00:17:36office?
00:17:38He should be. Yes.
00:17:43Mrs. Walsh, you're here.
00:17:46Let me show you to the legal department.
00:17:48I know the way, Cody. Move.
00:17:55Please, maybe we should wait. He's in a meeting.
00:17:59Stop it.
00:18:00You love it.
00:18:02A meeting? Is that what he calls her?
00:18:04Mrs. Walsh, it's not what it looks like.
00:18:08It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest. I should go say hello.
00:18:19Urgent?
00:18:21Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:18:28I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:18:30Who's the candidate?
00:18:32Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:43I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:52Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:18:56You're the only gift I want.
00:18:59There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:19:05If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:19:12Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:19:30Come here. Give me a hug.
00:19:32Something urgent came up at the Institute. I've got to leave now.
00:19:39Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:19:45Same every day. Feelings and pain.
00:19:48Sure. When things settle down.
00:19:55Mrs. Walsh, are you okay? He pushed you so hard.
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody.
00:20:00Stella, enough with the drama. I already told you, this isn't what you think.
00:20:03Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:04Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry on her behalf. She didn't mean it.
00:20:06For you, Mark. I'll let it slide.
00:20:08But she better get lost and stay away from this company.
00:20:12Stella, this is a workplace. Can we not make a scene?
00:20:16Save the fake politeness. I'll leave when I'm done.
00:20:19But Mark, you are truly disgusting.
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent. The contract has expired and our partnership is over.
00:20:33Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem? This patent is a cornerstone of our business.
00:20:38No issues. I've simply found a new buyer.
00:20:43Stella, if you're upset, take it out on me. Hit me, yell at me, whatever you want.
00:20:47But don't mess around with the patent. Let's talk about this at home.
00:20:50You still think I'm just being emotional? That you can coax me back in line?
00:20:53I'm not joking. The deal is off.
00:20:55If your company continues using my patent, my lawyer will file for compensation.
00:21:00Mr. Walsh, what's going on?
00:21:02If she pulls the patent, we're in trouble. Multiple projects will fail.
00:21:04I'll handle it.
00:21:05Stella!
00:21:29William? What are you doing in my car?
00:21:32Ms. Russell, if you needed a ride, you could have asked. Climbing into my car like this is a bit
00:21:38bold.
00:21:39I'm so sorry. I didn't realize this was your car. My mistake. I'll get out.
00:21:43Wait.
00:21:44Yes, Mr. Briggs?
00:21:45I saw the note in the jacket you returned. I'd rather you focus on your responsibilities. Show some professionalism.
00:22:01Stella! Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Let me see...
00:22:04Wait. This is already swollen.
00:22:07This wasn't me. What happened?
00:22:09It's okay, Lainey. It's not your fault. I'll be fine.
00:22:12Don't lie to me.
00:22:14You went to see Mark today.
00:22:16Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:24Unbelievable! You're his wife!
00:22:26How dare he hit you over some other woman!
00:22:30Maybe he was always this man.
00:22:32And I was just too blind to see it.
00:22:40Speak of the devil. It's Mark.
00:22:43Mark.
00:22:45Mark.
00:22:50How dare you keep calling her?
00:22:52You cheat on her?
00:22:53You hit her and now you think she wants to hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend.
00:22:57When you hurt her, it is my business.
00:23:08She's my friend, Mark.
00:23:10The least you can do is show her some respect.
00:23:13Hearing your voice disgusts me.
00:23:14I don't, Estella.
00:23:17I need your strex.
00:23:18You honestly make me sick.
00:23:20You want both women?
00:23:21Do you hear how pathetic that sounds?
00:23:23If your coworks and boss see me,
00:23:26that won't be good for you.
00:23:28So come home.
00:23:32Fine.
00:23:33I'll go back after I finish up here.
00:23:37What if he hits you again?
00:23:39Let me come with you.
00:23:40He won't.
00:23:42Trust me.
00:23:43He wouldn't dare.
00:23:47I had the chef make all your favorites.
00:23:49Come on, let's eat.
00:24:00Stella, about earlier.
00:24:01Haley's family has deep ties to our company.
00:24:03I can't afford to upset them.
00:24:04I went too far with you.
00:24:06Right.
00:24:07That's why I'm giving you full admin access to the security system.
00:24:12This company is yours too.
00:24:14You're half the boss here.
00:24:15I promise.
00:24:16This won't happen again.
00:24:18Today was the last time.
00:24:19Just trust me.
00:24:21Half the boss, huh?
00:24:23Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:30Stell, don't be upset.
00:24:32Haley is just a friend.
00:24:34Her parents are important business partners, that's all.
00:24:39A friend?
00:24:41Would you kiss a friend like that?
00:24:43Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:45Let's not talk about that.
00:24:48Stella, let's have a baby.
00:24:50A baby?
00:24:51Yes.
00:24:52Didn't you always want one?
00:24:54If we have a child, you'll always be my wife.
00:24:57You won't feel so insecure.
00:25:00Insecure?
00:25:01You think a child is a bargaining chip?
00:25:04A prize for accepting your humiliation?
00:25:09Is the title Mrs. Walsh supposed to make me forget you were with another woman?
00:25:19I have a headache.
00:25:20Maybe some other time.
00:25:22Your head!
00:25:23The injury!
00:25:24I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention.
00:25:26Let me get the first aid kits.
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it.
00:25:34No need for your concern now.
00:25:39I'll sleep in the study.
00:25:49Stella!
00:25:51They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project.
00:25:56What do you mean?
00:25:57I thought the list was final.
00:25:59It was.
00:26:00But William is on the project now.
00:26:04William.
00:26:05And he's personally reviewing every single person on the team.
00:26:10That means our spots aren't safe anymore.
00:26:15William isn't just a brilliant researcher, Stella.
00:26:17The Briggs family owns half of Brissette.
00:26:19He's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire.
00:26:23His family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals.
00:26:26I just need to get on his team.
00:26:28Imagine if you actually won him over.
00:26:30Wouldn't that drive your pathetic husband crazy?
00:26:33A thriving career and a man way better than Mark.
00:26:36It's a win-win.
00:26:37Lainey, my mind is on research.
00:26:39Men in revenge have no place in my world right now.
00:26:41But I do need to speak with him.
00:26:43Can you help me get a moment alone with Mr. Briggs?
00:26:46A private meeting?
00:26:48Of course!
00:26:50Of course!
00:26:51Leave it to me!
00:26:57You're home.
00:26:58Are you hungry?
00:26:59I can ask the kitchen to make something.
00:27:02I'm not hungry.
00:27:04Eat by yourself.
00:27:09Stella, not eating will harm your health.
00:27:12Please, have at least a little.
00:27:15Looking at you ruins my appetite.
00:27:17Didn't you say you wanted to visit Hoxavi?
00:27:19I'll be free next month.
00:27:20Let's go together.
00:27:23You were always too busy for that trip before.
00:27:26What changed?
00:27:28Oh, right.
00:27:30The patent.
00:27:30If you're so desperate for a vacation,
00:27:33why don't you take Haley instead?
00:27:39Stella, don't talk to me like that.
00:27:41I hate it.
00:27:42I apologized, didn't I?
00:27:44Then how am I supposed to talk to you?
00:27:46Should I sit down and have a pleasant little heart-to-heart about your affair?
00:27:51Yes.
00:27:52We should definitely talk.
00:27:58Fine.
00:28:00If you want to talk, we'll talk.
00:28:02I'm curious what else you think you can get from me.
00:28:20Alright, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:22Stella, there's nothing going on with Haley.
00:28:25This is business.
00:28:26The Smith family collaboration will take our company to the next level.
00:28:30Her father suggested she get experience with us.
00:28:33With her background in international law,
00:28:35the legal department is a perfect fit.
00:28:38And what does her job have to do with me?
00:28:42This is why I brought it up.
00:28:44If your patent stays with us,
00:28:47it'll be the first project Haley takes on.
00:28:49She'll be pleased,
00:28:50her family will be impressed,
00:28:52and it helps our company.
00:28:54You won't turn me down, will you?
00:28:55It's just a renewal.
00:28:59So this whole talk is about using my patent to make Haley happy?
00:29:03I'm being honest.
00:29:05A strong company benefits us both.
00:29:07We're married, Stella.
00:29:09Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:12Normal?
00:29:13You have the nerve to call this normal?
00:29:18This is my patent.
00:29:20I've changed my mind.
00:29:22I'm not selling.
00:29:23And no one,
00:29:24not even you,
00:29:26have the right to force me.
00:29:29Enough.
00:29:31This conversation is over.
00:29:33Go to the office tomorrow and sign the renewal.
00:29:37Don't act like a child.
00:29:47Don't act like a child.
00:30:14Hey, Allegra.
00:30:15What's going on?
00:30:17Miss Russell?
00:30:20Mr. Walsh asked me to inform.
00:30:23Stoke harshed that in Cormu,
00:30:25you need to come to the office today.
00:30:28I'm sorry, Allegra,
00:30:29but I've decided not to work with your company anymore.
00:30:32I won't be coming in.
00:30:33I know you've made up your mind,
00:30:35but Mr. Walsh said if you don't come,
00:30:37it would be my error.
00:30:39He said I could lose my job.
00:30:42Wait,
00:30:43are you saying Mark would fire you
00:30:44just because I refused to come?
00:30:46He said he'd make sure
00:30:47no one else in the industry hires me.
00:30:50I know this is emotional blackmail,
00:30:52but it's fine.
00:30:53I'll find a way.
00:30:58That shameless bastard.
00:31:01Miss Russell,
00:31:02please don't make it worse for yourself
00:31:03because of me.
00:31:05I'll come.
00:31:08Don't worry, Allegra.
00:31:10This isn't your fault.
00:31:12He's targeting me,
00:31:13not you.
00:31:13I won't let you lose your job over this.
00:31:17Thank you so much,
00:31:18Miss Russell.
00:31:30Mrs. Walsh,
00:31:31what are you doing here?
00:31:32You shouldn't go in.
00:31:33That Haley girl is targeting you.
00:31:35She's scolding the whole team,
00:31:37calling them useless
00:31:37for not landing the deal.
00:31:40It's all right, Evie.
00:31:43Well,
00:31:43look who finally decided to show up.
00:31:46You were so high and mighty yesterday,
00:31:48acting like you didn't need the contract.
00:31:50And now,
00:31:51you're back to sign it.
00:31:53If you were going to crawl back anyway,
00:31:55what was all that drama for?
00:31:59What the hell are you pretending for?
00:32:02If Mark hadn't dragged innocent people into this,
00:32:05I wouldn't be here.
00:32:06So this is your talent?
00:32:07Manipulating people
00:32:08who have nothing to do with your feud?
00:32:10Impressive.
00:32:11Stella,
00:32:12all's fair in love and war.
00:32:13If it works,
00:32:14it works.
00:32:14Now sign the damn contract right now.
00:32:16No,
00:32:17I'm not signing anything.
00:32:18You?
00:32:19Mrs. Walsh,
00:32:21please,
00:32:21if something's bothering you,
00:32:22let's talk it through.
00:32:23You are Mr. Walsh's wife.
00:32:25Just tell us what you need.
00:32:26The reason I'm not renewing the contract?
00:32:29Simple.
00:32:29It's her.
00:32:32If you want my signature,
00:32:34tell your Mr. Walsh
00:32:35to show me some sincerity.
00:32:37Start by kicking Hayley
00:32:38out of the company
00:32:39and make sure she leaves humiliated.
00:32:43Who do you think you are,
00:32:44Stella?
00:32:45It's just one damn patent.
00:32:47You think this entire company
00:32:49revolves around you?
00:32:51Well,
00:32:52guess what?
00:32:52I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:55Keep dreaming.
00:32:58Mrs. Walsh,
00:32:59wait.
00:33:00Allow me to walk you out.
00:33:01Please,
00:33:01if you don't mind me saying,
00:33:03could you have a word with Mr. Walsh?
00:33:05Hayley isn't fit for this role.
00:33:07He still has feelings for you.
00:33:09He'll listen to you.
00:33:16Choria's a big city,
00:33:17Allegra.
00:33:18There's no shortage of companies here
00:33:20that would value someone like you.
00:33:22I understand.
00:33:23Take care,
00:33:24Mrs. Walsh.
00:33:36Mark,
00:33:36you should have seen her.
00:33:37She was completely out of line.
00:33:39I was only doing what you told me to,
00:33:41and she turned around
00:33:42and told me to get lost.
00:33:44All right,
00:33:45don't get too worked up.
00:33:46I understand you're angry.
00:33:48Why don't I take you
00:33:49to your favorite place
00:33:50for dinner tonight?
00:33:51No!
00:33:52I want Stella to kneel
00:33:53and apologize to me!
00:33:55Make her mark,
00:33:57please?
00:34:01Hayley,
00:34:04you really think
00:34:05you're that important?
00:34:10What did you just say?
00:34:12Stella is my wife,
00:34:13and always will be.
00:34:15What's between us
00:34:16is nothing more than a flame.
00:34:20You're joking, right?
00:34:22If you don't like it,
00:34:23you're free to leave.
00:34:28I was just messing around.
00:34:30Don't be mad.
00:34:31I'll let it go,
00:34:33but you owe me.
00:34:35Fine.
00:34:36Whatever you ask,
00:34:37just leave Stella alone.
00:34:54Hello?
00:34:55There's a party tonight.
00:34:56I got an invite.
00:34:57I'm wiped out.
00:34:59I don't have energy.
00:35:00William's attending.
00:35:01Aren't you hoping to talk to him?
00:35:03I got an invite.
00:35:05All right.
00:35:06All right.
00:35:06I'll come.
00:35:06Send me the details.
00:35:13Mark,
00:35:14you're incredible.
00:35:17Mark,
00:35:29you're incredible.
00:35:37Stella?
00:35:37what's with this outfit?
00:35:39Is there something wrong with it?
00:35:40We're here to drink,
00:35:42not sign contracts.
00:35:43Good thing I planned ahead.
00:35:45Change now.
00:35:53Isn't this dress too daring?
00:35:55Perfect.
00:35:56You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:36:07Brady,
00:36:08meet Stella.
00:36:09Stella,
00:36:09this is Brady.
00:36:11Hello.
00:36:12Many try to get close to William.
00:36:14Take your time.
00:36:19Mr. Briggs,
00:36:20she has project questions for you.
00:36:32Exactly how long were you thinking of sitting like that?
00:36:41I'm so sorry.
00:36:42Sorry, Mr. Briggs.
00:36:43This wasn't intentional.
00:36:44I just give me a second.
00:36:47You'll have to do better than that.
00:36:49If you're staging an act,
00:36:50put in more effort.
00:36:52That's not what you think.
00:36:53I'm here about the project roster.
00:36:55I'm hoping you'll give me a shot.
00:36:59Is this your way of earning a spot on the team?
00:37:02I have papers and patents.
00:37:04I can bring value to the project.
00:37:06I can bring value to the project.
00:37:07Clearly,
00:37:08your talents stretch past what you let slip.
00:37:12Wait!
00:37:24It was a misunderstanding.
00:37:26I just want to join the project.
00:37:28I just want to join the project.
00:37:40Explaining will only make it worse.
00:37:52Mark, what are you staring at?
00:37:54Nothing.
00:38:00Mr. Briggs,
00:38:01I meant every word.
00:38:02Please,
00:38:03give it thought.
00:38:04Throwing yourself at me in public?
00:38:06Won't people say I'm playing favorites?
00:38:08It wasn't what you think.
00:38:09It was an accident.
00:38:11You're skilled at attracting men.
00:38:13But I dislike forward women.
00:38:16I take pride in my work.
00:38:17I'm not the woman you think.
00:38:22I won't bother you again.
00:38:30Where's Stella?
00:38:31Didn't she leave with you?
00:38:32Not sure.
00:38:33Looks like she decided to go.
00:38:34Mr. Briggs,
00:38:35I made her wear the dress.
00:38:36She came in a shirt and jeans.
00:38:55Mr. Briggs,
00:38:56I heard you're hand-picking top talents
00:38:58for the new project.
00:39:00Go ahead.
00:39:01Stella Russell,
00:39:02she's the author of the field-shaking paper
00:39:04on biologically active IV factors.
00:39:07So she's the anonymous author of that paper.
00:39:20You were gone all day.
00:39:22Who were you fooling around with?
00:39:24I was in the lab.
00:39:25It's the smell of alcohol,
00:39:26tobacco,
00:39:26and perfume on you
00:39:27that makes me sick.
00:39:29Fine.
00:39:30Have it your way.
00:39:31Okay.
00:39:38Stella!
00:39:39Open the door!
00:39:58Good morning, Miss Russell.
00:40:00I'm Luca,
00:40:01Mr. Briggs' assistant.
00:40:02We have an opening
00:40:03to assist Mr. Briggs
00:40:04with document handling,
00:40:05and you're perfect for it.
00:40:06No.
00:40:07Thanks.
00:40:08But this position doesn't suit me.
00:40:09I'd rather join a group
00:40:10with my peers.
00:40:11Miss Russell,
00:40:12this is a great opportunity.
00:40:19Is everything settled?
00:40:21Mr. Briggs,
00:40:22Miss Russell turned down the offer.
00:40:25Smart girl.
00:40:31Stella,
00:40:32we just finished today's data.
00:40:34Can you drop it off
00:40:34with Mr. Briggs?
00:40:36Okay.
00:40:41William just set off
00:40:42for the underground garage.
00:40:43It's still possible to catch up.
00:41:05Are you courting death?
00:41:07Mr. Briggs,
00:41:08these files need your immediate review.
00:41:10Get in.
00:41:11We'll go over them as we drive.
00:41:19Stella is my wife.
00:41:20Who is this man?
00:41:22How dare she smile at him like that?
00:41:28You're a lot more tempting now
00:41:30than when you played innocent yesterday.
00:41:32Mr. Briggs,
00:41:34you can just leave the documents here.
00:41:36I won't follow you.
00:41:37Could you drop me off here?
00:41:38No.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41No.
00:41:41No.
00:41:42No.
00:41:43No.
00:41:45That night,
00:41:46I returned to our empty house
00:41:48and started throwing out
00:41:49every memory of Mark.
00:41:50The cups we made on vacation.
00:41:52I remember wishing on a shooting star
00:41:54that we would be happy together forever.
00:41:57What a joke.
00:41:58People change.
00:41:59I see that now.
00:42:09Stella,
00:42:10I waited for you
00:42:10at the Institute for Ages.
00:42:12Did you leave by another exit?
00:42:14I got a lift home with a colleague.
00:42:20Now I have a free week.
00:42:22What do you say
00:42:23we try for a baby?
00:42:25Mark,
00:42:26I've already told you
00:42:27I don't want a baby right now.
00:42:31But after all these years,
00:42:33you always talked about
00:42:34wanting one before.
00:42:37Before was a long time ago.
00:42:40Tell me, Mark,
00:42:42how are those condoms
00:42:44from Raskate
00:42:44working out for you?
00:42:46I bet Haley didn't disappoint.
00:42:49You...
00:42:50You knew?
00:42:52All this time?
00:42:53I've always known.
00:42:56Stella, wait!
00:42:57Just let me explain!
00:43:00Stella!
00:43:01Open this door!
00:43:02We need to talk about this!
00:43:07Fine.
00:43:09I'll make you dinner.
00:43:10You always soften up
00:43:11when I cook for you.
00:43:19Wait a minute.
00:43:20Where's her coffee maker?
00:43:22It's always right here
00:43:23on the counter.
00:43:24Stella!
00:43:25What happened to the
00:43:25capsule coffee maker
00:43:26from the kitchen?
00:43:27Where is it?
00:43:36Stella, open up!
00:43:37Where is the coffee machine?
00:43:40It stopped working.
00:43:41I brought it out
00:43:42for repairs.
00:43:43Oh.
00:43:44Well, hey, Stella.
00:43:46I really messed up.
00:43:48Please,
00:43:48give me another chance.
00:43:51I made your favorite meal.
00:43:53Come downstairs
00:43:53and eat with me?
00:43:56I'm not hungry.
00:43:57I think I'll skip it.
00:44:03Okay.
00:44:04What about that coat
00:44:05you got me?
00:44:06I checked the closet.
00:44:06It wasn't there.
00:44:11I got the wrong size.
00:44:13I sent it back.
00:44:14Sent it back?
00:44:16Why not just swap it
00:44:17for another one?
00:44:18Lately,
00:44:19your whole look
00:44:19has shifted.
00:44:20I wasn't sure
00:44:21what you'd actually wear.
00:44:23Anyway,
00:44:24it's not like you're
00:44:24short on clothes.
00:44:25You've got tons already.
00:44:28But you picked
00:44:28that coat for me, Stella.
00:44:30Whatever you choose,
00:44:31I'll always like it.
00:44:34I'm exhausted.
00:44:35I'm turning in
00:44:36for the night.
00:44:53Keep watch on her.
00:44:54I want updates
00:44:55on everything she does.
00:45:05I want to marry Stella
00:45:06and cherish her forever.
00:45:08Only time can prove
00:45:09a promise like that, Mark.
00:45:10We'll be old
00:45:11and worn by then.
00:45:12A lifetime is exactly
00:45:13what I plan to give you.
00:45:15I'll spend every bit
00:45:16of it keeping that promise.
00:45:41Mark, how long
00:45:42are you going to stare
00:45:42at that screen?
00:45:43Look at me for once.
00:45:47Stella's being impossible.
00:45:48Why won't she just sign?
00:45:51Does she really think
00:45:52we're powerless?
00:45:53If she walks away,
00:45:54we'll find someone else.
00:45:55You have no idea
00:45:56what you're talking about.
00:45:57The company is in chaos
00:45:59because of you.
00:46:00Me?
00:46:00I'm just trying to help.
00:46:02Why are Nose Camp,
00:46:03not you?
00:46:04She's the one
00:46:05causing problems.
00:46:06Just
00:46:08be quiet for a moment.
00:46:19What is it?
00:46:21Why did you freeze?
00:46:24Leave.
00:46:27What?
00:46:27But we were just
00:46:29discussing the contract.
00:46:30I said
00:46:33leave.
00:46:33leave.
00:46:35Now.
00:46:41I'm staying.
00:46:43Unless there's something
00:46:44you're hiding from me, Mark.
00:46:48Why would she be there now?
00:46:50Something isn't right.
00:46:57legal department.
00:46:58Revite the contracts
00:46:59on my desk
00:47:00immediately.
00:47:02Mark, wait.
00:47:03Where are you going?
00:47:04What's wrong
00:47:05with the contracts?
00:47:06Did I mess something up?
00:47:13Hold on.
00:47:14I spent hours on those.
00:47:16Why are you taking them back?
00:47:17You're nothing
00:47:18but a useless leech.
00:47:21You work in legal,
00:47:23don't you?
00:47:24You just sit there
00:47:25like a statue
00:47:26while I do
00:47:26all the real work.
00:47:28What does this company
00:47:29even pay you for?
00:47:30Decoration?
00:47:31Effective immediately.
00:47:32Forget about
00:47:33your year-end bonus.
00:47:38Mrs. Smith,
00:47:39have you actually
00:47:40looked at the contracts
00:47:41you're so proud of?
00:47:43They don't even follow
00:47:44basic company formatting.
00:47:45It's laughable.
00:47:46A child with half a brain
00:47:47could have done better.
00:47:48You!
00:47:49Who do you think
00:47:50you are talking to me
00:47:51like that?
00:47:51I'll mark fire you
00:47:52on the spot!
00:47:55Too late.
00:47:56My resignation's
00:47:57already been submitted.
00:47:58You missed your chance
00:47:58to kick me out.
00:48:00And since we're being honest,
00:48:02I can't stomach people
00:48:03who climb with favors
00:48:04and destroy families
00:48:05in the process.
00:48:06You tick both boxes.
00:48:09Also, newsflash,
00:48:10waving your foreign passport
00:48:12around doesn't make you special.
00:48:13Trash from abroad
00:48:14is still trash.
00:48:18You shameless witch!
00:48:20Who gave you the right
00:48:20to talk to me like that?
00:48:22Try acting like you
00:48:22went to college
00:48:23instead of hurling insults
00:48:24and making a spectacle
00:48:25of yourself.
00:48:26Anyway,
00:48:26I'm not on the payroll anymore.
00:48:28Cut my year-end bonus
00:48:29if it makes you happy.
00:48:30I'm done here.
00:48:32Did you see that?
00:48:34Who knew Alelica
00:48:35had that kind of nerve?
00:48:36She was pushed too far.
00:48:37Some people just
00:48:38dig their own graves.
00:48:39You clueless idiots!
00:48:41Just wait until Mark gets back.
00:48:43I'll make sure
00:48:43every single one of you
00:48:44is out on the street!
00:48:48Stella,
00:48:49you can't keep running yourself
00:48:51into the ground like this.
00:48:52What if you faint?
00:48:54I appreciate it, Lainey.
00:48:56Trust me,
00:48:57I know my limits.
00:48:58Hey,
00:48:59the list just came out.
00:49:00Come on,
00:49:00let's take a look.
00:49:01You could use a breaker.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09I must have skimmed past it.
00:49:10Let me look again,
00:49:11from the top.
00:49:18Lainey,
00:49:19it's not there.
00:49:21My name simply isn't there.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24That's impossible!
00:49:27I'm looking right at it!
00:49:30How can you not be on the list?
00:49:37Hey,
00:49:38it's alright.
00:49:39Missing out on this one
00:49:40isn't the end of the world.
00:49:42I'm fine,
00:49:43really.
00:49:43You sure?
00:49:44You don't look fine.
00:49:45Honestly,
00:49:46I'm okay.
00:49:47Don't fuss over me.
00:49:48Go take care of your own work.
00:49:55If I can't join the project,
00:49:57so be it.
00:49:58The marriage is already finished.
00:50:00It's time to disappear for a while.
00:50:03Miss Russell,
00:50:04try not to let the list get to you.
00:50:06Luca,
00:50:07you really have no talent
00:50:08for comforting people,
00:50:09you know that?
00:50:10Mr. Briggs is hosting a dinner
00:50:12at the Voyage Hotel tonight.
00:50:13If you're not busy,
00:50:14maybe you should come.
00:50:15It might give him a chance
00:50:16to reconsider.
00:50:17You helped him with his plans.
00:50:19If he made up his mind
00:50:20to exclude me,
00:50:20what's the point
00:50:21in showing up to beg?
00:50:22That won't be necessary.
00:50:24Mr. Briggs must have his reasons.
00:50:26I'm sure he's found
00:50:27someone better suited
00:50:28for the team.
00:50:33Mark will discover
00:50:34the divorce agreement
00:50:35sooner or later.
00:50:36He'll move heaven and earth
00:50:37to hunt me down,
00:50:38but his attention
00:50:39is tangled up with Haley now.
00:50:40He won't waste much effort
00:50:42tracking me
00:50:42if I vanish completely
00:50:43from his radar.
00:50:45The farther I run,
00:50:47the safer I'll be.
00:50:52Stella,
00:50:53you're taking leave.
00:50:54Is this because
00:50:54you weren't on the project list?
00:50:56I just need a break, Lainey.
00:50:58You've seen how hard
00:50:59I've been working.
00:51:00You deserve it.
00:51:01You're always the first to arrive
00:51:02and the last to leave.
00:51:04Rest well.
00:51:08Mr. Briggs,
00:51:09that's Ms. Russell.
00:51:09She took extended leave today.
00:51:11She doesn't look happy.
00:51:12Should we tell her the truth
00:51:13about the team selection?
00:51:15She saw us.
00:51:18Sir?
00:51:19She's walking away.
00:51:20Fast.
00:51:21She's running.
00:51:22It's fine.
00:51:23She's not the delicate type.
00:51:24Drive.
00:51:25Pick up the phone, Stella!
00:51:27Where are you?
00:51:32Blocked.
00:51:33She actually blocked my number.
00:51:38If she's not coming home,
00:51:40where is she going?
00:51:46There she is.
00:51:48Finally.
00:51:49Wait a minute.
00:51:53It's the same one
00:51:55she got into before.
00:52:06How could Stella
00:52:07have any tie
00:52:08to William Briggs?
00:52:23Do you want to come home?
00:52:26Do you want to go back to him?
00:52:27No, no.
00:52:28Do you want to be a mess?
00:52:30Do you want to come home?
00:52:32Do you want to come home?
00:52:34Do you want to come home?
00:52:37I'm sorry.
00:52:38Do you want to come home?
00:52:38on. Where did you put everything, Stella? So he finally noticed. I ran into a little financial
00:52:45trouble, so I pawned my things. Once I've sorted things out, I'll get them back. If you needed
00:52:49money, why didn't you just tell me? There was no reason to pawn your things. Take these. Use them
00:52:55for whatever you want. That's not necessary. I've already sorted the money myself. You can keep
00:53:01those cards. Stella, what are you hiding from me? We're still husband and wife. No matter what's
00:53:06going on, good or bad, you can tell me. I'll handle it with you. You don't have to shoulder
00:53:11everything alone. There's nothing to tell. Work's been busy at the Institute, and I have a business
00:53:20trip coming up. I'll be out of town for a while. Wait! Go to the airport.
00:53:40So he's tailing me.
00:53:43So he's tailing me.
00:54:04So he's tailing me.
00:54:09Ma'am, if you help me out, I'll give you $500. When you head back in, just dump the
00:54:14water from your bucket onto the man waiting outside the restroom. He's been following me
00:54:19since I left home. I'm desperate. Please, if you can pull this off, the money's yours.
00:54:24Please, don't let him know I'm gone. And thank you. Really.
00:54:37What the hell are you doing?
00:54:39Oh my goodness, sir. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you standing there. I thought you were just
00:54:43part of the plumbing.
00:54:45Oh gosh, let me get that for you.
00:54:49Oh my gosh.
00:54:55I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
00:54:59Enough! Just go! Don't bother me!
00:55:07Stella, do you really think this will get rid of me?
00:55:17Hello, Stella. How much longer are you going to keep pestering Mark? He's finished with
00:55:21you. Why don't you have a little dignity and let go? Maybe you need a reminder, Haley.
00:55:26Mark and I are still married. The law is on my side. So tell me, who gave you permission
00:55:31to call me and hurl accusation?
00:55:33I'm not here to fight with you!
00:55:36Why don't you come over so we can talk face to face?
00:55:38It's simple. The one who isn't loved is always the third wheel. Take my advice and know your
00:55:46place. Is this really what the Smith family taught you? To meddle in marriages and play
00:55:51the mistress? It's almost admirable how you can spout this nonsense without a single scrap
00:55:57of dignity. You better watch your mouth!
00:55:59I've got better things to do than play along with your bullshit. Maybe try focusing on the
00:56:03Walsh Group's plummeting profits instead of pestering me.
00:56:10Stella, how could you speak to Haley like that?
00:56:13So you're her backup. Of course. Siding with anyone you think can benefit your precious son.
00:56:17You better show up right now. Let me make this clear. Clinging to my son will get you nowhere.
00:56:21You are nothing but a burden to our family. Come to the Voyage Hotel immediately. If not,
00:56:25you can face the consequences.
00:56:30Fine. I'm on my way.
00:56:47So, you finally bothered to show up. I want you to divorce my son right now.
00:56:53And why is that?
00:56:54What have you ever done for the Walsh family? You can't even give us a child. Useless. There's
00:57:00no place for a barren hen like you. Her family is nothing. Raised without manners.
00:57:06You shouldn't lower yourself, Jaiselyn. Get those divorce papers ready by Monday.
00:57:12I refuse to tolerate you for one more day. Fine. I'll divorce him. What do you want out of this,
00:57:20Stella? I'm not making any demands. Divorce is fine by me.
00:57:30But, Jaiselyn, I expect you to pay back every cent I spent on your beauty appointments and imported
00:57:35supplements. The health supplements you're taking every month, why not ask Mark who's really footing
00:57:40the bill? And everyone at the casino knows exactly how many toes you've stepped on.
00:57:45Stella, don't you dare get greedy with me. Why should I pay you back a cent? Those supplements?
00:57:49My son paid for them. As for the salon visits, I cover those with my own membership.
00:57:54Stella, honestly, isn't this a little beneath you? Or could it be you're not actually ready
00:57:57for this divorce? And you're just making excuses to keep Jaiselyn on a leash?
00:58:01I'm just laying out the truth here. That membership card you're so fond of? My friend
00:58:06owns the salon. I got you a 90% discount. Please, Mrs. Walsh, don't worry. From now on,
00:58:10I'll make sure you have everything you need. Your standard of living drop, I swear. Supplements,
00:58:14salon treatments. I have plenty of connections. I'll handle it all. These are just the tip of
00:58:17the iceberg. Fine. If you claim all that's gone, then so be it. But I want you to divorce my
00:58:22son
00:58:23right now. All right. But a divorce requires both parties to show up. If you can get Mark here,
00:58:28I won't stand in your way. If you're so determined, maybe spend your energy convincing him instead
00:58:35of wasting mine. She really has no idea what's coming. We gave her the chance to bow out gracefully
00:58:46and she turned it down. She'll see. Once her name's dragged through the mud, Mark won't even look her
00:58:51way. And by then, leaving won't be her decision anymore. Jaiselyn, you're the best, I swear. I'll be
00:58:57the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had.
00:59:27Mr. Briggs?
00:59:28I really believe Miss Russell is the ideal choice for the project. She's head and shoulders above
00:59:33the others. Also, earlier today, when she saw our car, she looked hesitant, almost anxious,
00:59:38and left right after. It felt like she didn't want to be misunderstood. Honestly, sir, I don't
00:59:43believe she's the kind of woman you perceive her to be. She's always been composed and respectful
00:59:47in everything she does. My attention is needed elsewhere. Inform me of our guest's arrival.
00:59:55It looked like Stella.
01:00:00No, it couldn't have been her.
01:00:28Please. I'll give you anything you want. Just let me go.
01:00:36Quit fighting. We're not here to harm you. We just need a few dirty pictures.
01:00:42Pictures? What kind of pictures?
01:00:51Who asked you to do this? I have money. Whatever they paid you, I'll match it and add more.
01:00:55Don't bother. This will be over soon if you stop fighting.
01:00:57You're committing a crime. Sooner or later, you'll be arrested. I will report everything
01:01:01and none of you will walk away clean. Or, you take my money now, walk out that door, and
01:01:05I never mention this again. Think it over. Don't waste your energy.
01:01:09Hayley?
01:01:12There's no way out. Since we're going to stage something like this, it better look real.
01:01:17Stage what?
01:01:19People care about believability now. These are your props. Use them however you want.
01:01:24And don't bother with condoms.
01:01:33Hayley, this is illegal!
01:01:35You think foreign citizenship makes you untouchable?
01:01:41You bunch of wimps! I'll handle it!
01:01:46And you, Stella. You really think you're on Mark's level? He's the one who told me to
01:01:51do this. He wants you punished.
01:02:04There. The contract is binding. Your patent rights now belong to my family. For free.
01:02:09She's all yours, boys. Enjoy.
01:02:11Enjoy. Damn, you smell good. So soft. But you look real pretty crying. Which toy should
01:02:16we use first?
01:02:19Don't touch me.
01:02:26What the hell?
01:02:27Get these bastards out of here.
01:02:30No! Let go of me!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:38Are you alright?
01:02:41The ropes are off. You're safe now.
01:02:46I'm...
01:02:47Alright, thanks.
01:02:49Come on.
01:02:50Let's get you out of here.
01:02:59Careful.
01:03:08Mr. Briggs, we've identified those people, but say it. She deserves the truth.
01:03:15Some of them carry infectious diseases. If they'd laid a hand on Mrs. Russell, the fallout
01:03:19would have been catastrophic.
01:03:22Hayley, she meant to destroy me.
01:03:24Mr. Briggs, thank you for everything you've done today. But from here on out, I'll handle
01:03:28it myself. This isn't your battle.
01:03:39A clean divorce was all I wanted. But their cruelty has gone too far. If that's how they
01:03:44want to play, then I'm finished being merciful.
01:03:57Where do you think you're going?
01:04:00Your IV's still running.
01:04:20Stella? What on earth happened to you?
01:04:25I'm alright, Lainey.
01:04:28You are not alright.
01:04:30Oh dear, what happened?
01:04:31Don't be scared. I'm right here. Tell me who did this to you.
01:04:40It was Mark and Hayley.
01:04:43Mark?
01:04:44Did he lay a hand on you?
01:04:46Has he completely lost his mind?
01:04:48No, he didn't touch me.
01:04:50Can we talk inside?
01:04:54Hayley did that to you?
01:04:56She ought to be behind bars.
01:04:58She forced me to imprint my fingerprint on the document when I had no strength left.
01:05:02They didn't partner with me, Lainey.
01:05:04They stole the patent.
01:05:07Don't stress.
01:05:08I'll help you get it back.
01:05:10I found another buyer for you.
01:05:11I've been putting together the contract.
01:05:13But Hayley already took the contract with my fingerprint.
01:05:16The buyer I found is trustworthy.
01:05:19Once you sign his contract, he'll take care of everything.
01:05:22What Hayley did was illegal.
01:05:28I can't believe Mark.
01:05:30All those years he acted like the perfect partner.
01:05:33It was a fa-facade.
01:05:34It makes me sick.
01:05:36How could he be so cruel?
01:05:38Now that everything had blown up,
01:05:40I had no intention of that.
01:05:42I had no intention of playing nice anymore.
01:05:44Lainey, I need a little help.
01:05:47Name it.
01:05:48As long as it's something I can do, I'm on your side.
01:05:55Could you help me with this?
01:06:10She's cutting me off.
01:06:11Proving a point.
01:06:13Hayley, where are you?
01:06:14At the spa.
01:06:16Why?
01:06:16Miss me already?
01:06:17There's a charity gala tomorrow night.
01:06:18Come with me.
01:06:19With you?
01:06:20To a public event?
01:06:21Of course.
01:06:22This is perfect.
01:06:23Tomorrow, everyone will see the photos of Stella's humiliation.
01:06:25Mark will have no choice but to drop her for good.
01:06:28But Mark, I don't have a dress.
01:06:31I'll pick you up early.
01:06:32We'll go shopping.
01:06:33You're the best.
01:06:34Love you.
01:06:35This gala is important.
01:06:36A new partner will be there.
01:06:37Hayley's family name might just give me the edge I need.
01:06:40Stella wants to fight dirty?
01:06:41I can play that game too.
01:06:44Mark, what about this one?
01:06:46Yeah, looks good.
01:06:47You haven't even looked.
01:06:48Look at me properly.
01:06:49It suits you.
01:06:50The color works.
01:06:52I'll take it.
01:06:52Stella never needed all this.
01:06:54A t-shirt, a ponytail, ten minutes and she was ready.
01:06:56Not a whole day.
01:07:02Who's that with Mr. Walsh?
01:07:04The Smith girl?
01:07:05They look awfully close.
01:07:07Is it an affair?
01:07:08No way.
01:07:09Did Mr. Walsh already divorce his wife?
01:07:14Divorce.
01:07:17Divorce.
01:07:26Let them whisper, Mark.
01:07:27Tonight, they see you with me, not her.
01:07:30Keep your chin up and ignore them.
01:07:31We need to find Mr. Williams.
01:07:33Today is the day Stella finally loses everything.
01:07:39Mr. Williams, it's been too long.
01:07:41Mr. Walsh, a pleasure.
01:07:44And you are?
01:07:45Haley, I'm a great admirer of your work, sir.
01:07:49I see.
01:07:52Williams, there you are.
01:07:54We need to talk.
01:07:55Mark, forget him.
01:07:56It's time.
01:08:01Nothing.
01:08:02There's nothing here.
01:08:03What are you talking about?
01:08:04Put the phone away.
01:08:05Where is Jaiselyn?
01:08:06She had all day.
01:08:07Did she get cold feet?
01:08:08Come here.
01:08:09Now.
01:08:10Ladies, I must be going.
01:08:11My son and daughter-in-law need me.
01:08:13Daughter-in-law?
01:08:14Since when?
01:08:17A message from Haley.
01:08:19She must have the photos already.
01:08:21She wants me there for the big reveal.
01:08:23Oh, this is going to be perfect.
01:08:32Jaiselyn!
01:08:33Jaiselyn!
01:08:35Jaiselyn!
01:08:37You look gorgeous.
01:08:38Did Mark pick it?
01:08:40He did.
01:08:42He said the color suits me.
01:08:45Darling, why did you call me here?
01:08:47My mother is arriving soon to sign a major deal with Mark.
01:08:50But with my current status, things are complicated.
01:08:55Stella signed away the patent.
01:08:57She has nothing left to bargain with.
01:08:59She's powerless now.
01:09:02Don't worry, dear.
01:09:03I understand perfectly.
01:09:05I will handle it.
01:09:13Mom.
01:09:14What the hell are you doing here?
01:09:19Why shouldn't I be here, Mark?
01:09:21To tell everyone the truth about your pathetic wife?
01:09:25Don't you dare.
01:09:26Stella is not worthy of you.
01:09:29She's been messing around with other men behind your back.
01:09:37A shameless woman dragging the Walsh name through the mud.
01:09:46You need to divorce her.
01:09:49Divorce her right now before she ruins us all.
01:09:52That's enough.
01:09:57What nonsense are you spouting in front of everyone?
01:10:04Look at you, Mark.
01:10:06Still defending that woman?
01:10:07She's been cheating on you.
01:10:09Haley is the one who deserves you.
01:10:11Divorce Stella already.
01:10:14Don't worry, Jaslyn.
01:10:16I'll take good care of Mark.
01:10:18Cheating?
01:10:19What are you talking about?
01:10:21Stella would never...
01:10:22Mom.
01:10:23What are you really doing here?
01:10:25I told you, I've seen the disgusting photos.
01:10:28And you're still defending her?
01:10:31Here.
01:10:32Stella signed this contract herself.
01:10:35She's guilty, Mark.
01:10:36She's trying to clean up her mess quietly.
01:10:38She signed this?
01:10:39Why?
01:10:41Was my mother right?
01:10:42Did she betray me with William?
01:10:49Stella.
01:10:57It can't be.
01:10:58After everything we did, how is she standing there?
01:11:02She wouldn't dare show her face.
01:11:05Not tonight.
01:11:06Not after those photos.
01:11:17Mark.
01:11:17Don't let her intimidate you.
01:11:19My family is reasonable.
01:11:21They won't judge you for leaving her.
01:11:26Mr. Walsh.
01:11:27Our family usually wouldn't consider a divorced man.
01:11:30But since Hayley has chosen you, we won't stand in your way.
01:11:32Just make sure you resolve things with your ex-wife properly.
01:11:36Everyone knows the problems in your marriage weren't your fault.
01:11:40Stella, is it?
01:11:41After everything you've done, you'd be wise to sign the divorce papers and spare yourself the shame.
01:11:46Tell me, Mark.
01:11:47Mark, what was my crime in this marriage?
01:11:50What did I do to deserve this treatment from you?
01:11:52Stella, this isn't...
01:11:55You have the nerve to ask what you did wrong?
01:11:57You were sleeping around while married, openly shameless.
01:12:00I used to think you refused to divorce because you had real feelings for Mark.
01:12:03But how could you take such vulgar pictures with other men?
01:12:05The props, the outfits.
01:12:06I never expected you to be like that.
01:12:08I won't let Mark continue to be with someone like you.
01:12:11Seriously, Stella?
01:12:12Are you really that reckless?
01:12:14That's disgusting.
01:12:15Honestly, someone from outside our circle wouldn't understand basic decency.
01:12:19No wonder Mark would rather be with the Smith girl after what she pulled,
01:12:22who could tolerate their wife being with other men.
01:12:29You're accusing me of sleeping around, Haley.
01:12:31Do you have proof?
01:12:33Everyone is talking about it.
01:12:35No, you are talking about it.
01:12:37And without proof, it's slander.
01:12:39I can take you to court.
01:12:41You speak with such detail.
01:12:43About the toys, the outfits.
01:12:46Were you hiding in the room?
01:12:48Or did you set it all up?
01:12:51Well, someone saw it and told me.
01:12:54The truth always comes out, Stella.
01:12:57Alright then.
01:12:58If you're so confident, show us the evidence.
01:13:01What toys?
01:13:01Which men?
01:13:02Let's see it.
01:13:04Jaiselyn!
01:13:05Haley, show them the proof already.
01:13:07Didn't you say you saw everything yourself?
01:13:09What?
01:13:10I thought you had the photos!
01:13:11What's wrong?
01:13:12Can't find your proof now?
01:13:15Want me to give you a hand?
01:13:17Maybe I should start laying out the details of your little affair with Mark.
01:13:22Should I tell everyone what you two have been doing behind closed doors?
01:13:29Stella, wait!
01:13:31Please, let me explain!
01:13:38Stella, I trust you.
01:13:41Please, just hear me out.
01:13:43Don't lay a hander on me.
01:13:45I feel sick just looking at you.
01:13:54Is this your idea of love, Mark?
01:13:56Loving two women at once?
01:13:58It's pathetic.
01:14:09Stella, what happened to you?
01:14:10What happened?
01:14:12Isn't it obvious?
01:14:14Those are the marks from her night with those men.
01:14:18Her night with them?
01:14:19She's a bitch.
01:14:21You only signed the contract because you were scared we'd expose you!
01:14:25You were begging them not to stop.
01:14:28You kept saying how much you liked it.
01:14:32And now you want to act like you're the victim?
01:14:35You know what you did is a crime, right?
01:14:37You could go to prison for this.
01:14:42Stella?
01:14:45What is she talking about?
01:14:47Were you with other men?
01:14:50Mrs. Russell, how dare you spout such lies about my daughter?
01:14:53That accusation is completely out of line.
01:14:56Mr. Walsh, I only agreed to work with you because of Haley.
01:15:00After this slander, I see no reason to continue.
01:15:03Come, Haley.
01:15:04Mother, wait.
01:15:05I don't want to go.
01:15:06Hold on.
01:15:07Haley, what exactly did you do to Stella?
01:15:10Mark, I haven't done anything.
01:15:11Don't you believe me?
01:15:12Hasn't Stella been ignoring you lately?
01:15:14Staying away from home?
01:15:15If she's so innocent, then why hasn't she come back to you?
01:15:19Before you say a word, Mark.
01:15:31Do whatever you want.
01:15:33If anything goes wrong, I'll handle it.
01:15:37Stella, Mark told me to handle this.
01:15:41You refused to sign the contract nicely, so this is your punishment.
01:15:50What?
01:15:51What now, Haley?
01:15:51Got anything to say?
01:15:54Or are you going to tell everyone that the recording is fake?
01:15:57What?
01:15:58You actually sent people to rape Stella?
01:16:01Haley, our plan was just to take some fake photos.
01:16:04That was it.
01:16:05I never agreed to something criminal.
01:16:07You're more ruthless than I ever imagined.
01:16:26Mark, please.
01:16:27It's not what it looks like.
01:16:28Nobody believes me.
01:16:30I believe my own ears, Haley.
01:16:32How could you?
01:16:34It was your mother.
01:16:35Jaiselyn told me to do it.
01:16:36What?
01:16:37You dare lie about me?
01:16:38It's the truth.
01:16:39You said Stella couldn't have kids.
01:16:41That she wasn't good enough for Mark.
01:16:44You wanted her gone.
01:16:47This was all your idea.
01:16:49Stop blaming me without proof.
01:16:51You've lost your mind.
01:16:53Mother, that sounds exactly like something you would say.
01:16:56Mark, she's trying to tear our family apart.
01:17:00Don't listen to her.
01:17:01Mr. Briggs, Miss Russell has signed the contract.
01:17:04Did she ask for anything else?
01:17:06No, sir.
01:17:07She signed it easily.
01:17:09Just as I thought.
01:17:11Is there more?
01:17:13Mrs. Russell went to the Choria charity event by herself tonight.
01:17:17Was the Walsh family there?
01:17:19Yes.
01:17:20And there's been some drama.
01:17:21Miss Russell played a recording.
01:17:22A recording.
01:17:24So she came prepared.
01:17:28Are you heading out, Mr. Briggs?
01:17:30She's our partner now.
01:17:31If something happens to her, it could affect our company.
01:17:35I'll take you there, sir.
01:17:45You've got some nerve, Hayley.
01:17:48You knew my son was married and still chased him.
01:17:51You hired thugs to kidnap Stella.
01:17:54Don't you dare pin that on me.
01:17:56You're the one who told me to do it.
01:17:57I was following your orders.
01:18:00That's right.
01:18:01You're the one who told me to do it.
01:18:05I don't know why.
01:18:08Miss Russell, I'm so sorry.
01:18:10This is all on me.
01:18:12Mark's mom tricked me, I swear.
01:18:15I never meant to hurt you.
01:18:17Whatever compensation you want, money, anything my family will pay.
01:18:22Please just forgive me.
01:18:23Oh, and how much exactly were you planning to offer?
01:18:28Whatever you want, just name it.
01:18:31My family can afford it.
01:18:34Stella, why are you even entertaining this?
01:18:39Hayley, not everything in life can be solved by throwing money at it.
01:18:43I don't want your money.
01:18:45I'm taking the evidence to the police.
01:18:49Let them handle it.
01:18:51The police?
01:18:52Oh, and by the way, all that effort you put in, it was a waste.
01:18:57Your guys failed.
01:19:03I just walked away with a few scratches.
01:19:08What?
01:19:09No.
01:19:11That can't be right.
01:19:13You're lying!
01:19:17Stella.
01:19:19Thank God.
01:19:20I was so worried.
01:19:22You're safe.
01:19:27Didn't I tell you to stay away from me?
01:19:30You make me sick.
01:19:32Stella?
01:19:33I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
01:19:35I'm not done with you.
01:19:36That patent your company has been using?
01:19:41You forced me into a deal and kept using my work after it expired.
01:19:46That's illegal.
01:19:47The contract.
01:19:49Hayley gave me that contract.
01:19:51My new partners have already taken a hit because of your actions.
01:19:56Even if I wanted to spare you, they won't.
01:19:59Prepare for a huge payout.
01:20:01Oh, come on, Stella.
01:20:04Do you really think anyone will buy that story?
01:20:08Who would dare sue the Walsh group?
01:20:14You're just trying to play the sympathy card so Mark won't divorce you.
01:20:18What do you even have to offer him?
01:20:20I bring him foreign investors.
01:20:22Key partnerships.
01:20:25You have nothing!
01:20:28What have you ever done besides that one lucky patent?
01:20:32If Mark hadn't backed you, you'd be on the streets.
01:20:35He only used it because he felt sorry for you.
01:20:38Do you seriously think you're some brilliant inventor?
01:20:44You are utterly disgraceful, Stella.
01:20:47Am I?
01:20:49Or is it the woman who proudly acts as a mistress in public?
01:20:54Is this what passes for aristocratic grace in Autridi?
01:20:57Don't you dare!
01:20:58You and your worthless patent!
01:21:00My patent is the reason the Walsh group has had any success.
01:21:03Should we review the contracts?
01:21:05The ones that show you've never paid me the monthly fees you owe?
01:21:08You're lying!
01:21:09You have no contract!
01:21:10Go on, prove it!
01:21:11Where is your evidence?
01:21:12Yes, bring it out.
01:21:14I want to see who dares to challenge the Walsh family.
01:21:19I'm the one who signed her patent?
01:21:20Is there an issue with that?
01:21:26I signed the contract.
01:21:27Does anyone here have a problem with it?
01:21:29William, you?
01:21:30After years of working with the Walsh group, Miss Russell hasn't received a single payment.
01:21:35Let me make this clear to everyone.
01:21:36I run a principled company.
01:21:37You will be paid every cent you are owed, Mrs. Russell.
01:21:41And my legal team will assist you in recovering everything you are entitled to.
01:21:45I've never seen him look at me like that before.
01:21:48Was it real?
01:21:49Or was my mind just playing tricks on me?
01:21:57And who exactly do you think you are?
01:21:59Did Stella hire you to play along in this little act of hers?
01:22:02Saying you signed a contract doesn't make it real.
01:22:05What matters is proof, not who can talk the biggest game.
01:22:10It's been a while since I've come across such pure stupidity.
01:22:13It's almost entertaining.
01:22:15William Briggs, heir to the Briggs family and Brissett.
01:22:19The MU project with the Achire Royal family and the Hookwood Research Institute?
01:22:24All under my name.
01:22:25Is that enough to qualify for Mrs. Russell's patent?
01:22:30Stella, come here.
01:22:31You're still my wife.
01:22:32My husband is trying to save face.
01:22:35How pathetic.
01:22:35Oh? So you do remember she's your wife, Mr. Walsh?
01:22:39That's funny.
01:22:40I thought the woman beside you was your true match.
01:22:45Stella, I said, come here.
01:22:48Now!
01:22:49Mark, stop the act.
01:22:50I was serious when I said I wanted a divorce.
01:22:53You betrayed me first.
01:22:54Did you really think I would stay chained to you forever?
01:22:59Stella, I know you're upset.
01:23:01Let's just go home and talk.
01:23:03Whatever apology you want, I'll give it.
01:23:05You think an apology fixes this?
01:23:07You think I'm just making a scene?
01:23:09Mr. Briggs, thank you for recognizing my wife's talent.
01:23:12I'm so happy for her.
01:23:14Mr. Walsh, you should probably focus on calming your mistress.
01:23:17How dare you!
01:23:19And Ms. Russell's patent speaks for itself.
01:23:21It has nothing to do with you, so don't try to take credit.
01:23:24You're enjoying this, aren't you, Stella?
01:23:26I'm enjoying someone finally seeing through your performance.
01:23:39Get out of my way!
01:23:41No.
01:23:54We received a report of kidnapping and assault.
01:23:57Haley Smith, Mark Wald, and Jaiselyn Wald, please come with us.
01:24:00What?
01:24:00She really called the police?
01:24:02Mom, I don't want to go!
01:24:03Officer, this must be a mistake.
01:24:05You can't arrest my daughter over a simple accusation.
01:24:07We'll sort that out at the station, ma'am.
01:24:09Please don't interfere.
01:24:09Mom, do something! Call someone!
01:24:12I can't. My name means nothing here.
01:24:17Mrs. Smith, put your hands behind your back.
01:24:19You're coming with us.
01:24:22No, I do not.
01:24:30No! I didn't do anything wrong! Why are you taking me?
01:24:33Ma'am, if you're innocent, the truth will come out. Please cooperate.
01:24:36Mom, say something! Stella's lying to them!
01:24:38Mom, my daughter. They're putting you in handcuffs.
01:24:41Jaiselyn Wald?
01:24:42I don't know anything. I swear. I'll come with you. I'll tell you everything I know.
01:24:51Where are you going?
01:24:55Back to the research center.
01:24:57That's on my way. I'll drop you.
01:24:59There's no need, Mr. Briggs. I can manage.
01:25:01I helped you once, and now you're trying to keep your distance?
01:25:03I'm sorry. I...
01:25:27I'm sorry. I...
01:25:31I didn't mean to.
01:25:33I'm sorry. I...
01:25:33I'm sorry. I...
01:25:42Don't move.
01:25:54I'm so sorry, Mr. Briggs. The car turned, I lost my balance.
01:25:57I swear I have no improper intentions towards you whatsoever.
01:26:00I can see that.
01:26:01No, you don't believe me.
01:26:02If I have any improper thoughts about you, then may I get hit by a car the moment I step
01:26:06outside?
01:26:07There's no need for such a dramatic curse.
01:26:09I'm not blind. I saw what happened.
01:26:11Well, you were basically blind last time.
01:26:14Where did that come from?
01:26:21Mr. Briggs, I feel like you have a bias against me.
01:26:25It makes things really difficult whenever you're around.
01:26:28When have I ever made things difficult for you?
01:26:35Forget I said anything.
01:26:37Just pretend I was rambling.
01:26:41Ms. Russell, you took my measurements earlier.
01:26:45I... yes?
01:26:48So the suit should fit perfectly this time, right?
01:26:51This time?
01:26:53But you told me not to waste my time on trivial things.
01:26:57We've arrived at the Research Institute's dormitory, Ms. Russell.
01:27:00Please take care.
01:27:10Stella, you're back.
01:27:12How did it go?
01:27:13Is everything all right?
01:27:16It went well, Lainey.
01:27:17Thanks to you and that recorder, everyone know Haley framed me.
01:27:20Good!
01:27:21Those two snakes deserve everything that's coming to them.
01:27:24I hope they rot!
01:27:25Speaking of things coming to them...
01:27:26Why didn't you tell me Mr. Briggs was behind the company I signed with?
01:27:30Wait, what are you talking about?
01:27:32The new contract.
01:27:34It's with a subsidiary of the Briggs Group.
01:27:36Oh my God!
01:27:37William, you're working with him?
01:27:38I swear I had no idea!
01:27:40I just knew they seemed professional and the offer was generous.
01:27:42I never would have guessed!
01:27:44It's okay, Lainey.
01:27:44It doesn't matter.
01:27:45As long as the partnership works.
01:27:47Works?
01:27:47Stella, it's more than working.
01:27:48You're all over the internet.
01:27:50Briggs Group is suing Mark for everything he's worth.
01:27:52They are?
01:27:53Yes!
01:27:53The compensation alone might bankrupt him.
01:27:55His partners are pulling out.
01:27:56Investors are gone.
01:27:57The Walsh Group is finished!
01:28:02And Haley?
01:28:04Oh, she's not getting away.
01:28:06This has become a diplomatic issue.
01:28:09She's going to jail.
