Cost Of Wrong Love A Billionaire's Repentance
Transcript
00:00:02I've been this man's mistress for five years.
00:00:05I loved him, but he only saw me as a substitute.
00:00:08I don't regret it, because those five years of humility were the debt I owed him.
00:00:18Elena's back in the country. Just landed. You need to leave this villa.
00:00:22Now?
00:00:23Immediately. Clean up any trace of you having lived here. I don't want her to know you slept here.
00:00:28Okay.
00:00:30Elena is back. My days as the substitute are finally over. I'm finally free.
00:00:36In our freshman year, both Elena and I were poor students living on scholarships.
00:00:41But with that innocent face of hers, she became the goddess of every man on campus,
00:00:46including the heir to a top-tier family, Logan.
00:00:49Elena, come to the Grammy Awards with me. Seats like these aren't something you can just buy with money.
00:00:54Sorry, I need to go to the library to study. Mr. Logan, your money can buy everything,
00:00:59but it can't buy my respect.
00:01:05You're broke too, right? Help me win her over. If she falls for me, I'll fund you.
00:01:10I knew Elena was just playing hard to get, but my father was hospitalized,
00:01:13and I was even about to drop out of school because of it.
00:01:15So I desperately needed that money to save him.
00:01:18Deal.
00:01:18Elena got a top-tier university offer to Cambridge funded by Logan,
00:01:23and I, I became her substitute, Logan's caged canory.
00:01:31They think I've been discarded, that I'll become the laughing-ass dang of the world.
00:01:41Miss Ava, Lucas, the chief of Operation Liberty Finance,
00:01:44been waiting for you for three hours, ready to sign the contract with you.
00:01:50Okay.
00:01:52Actually, the life that truly belongs to me is just beginning.
00:01:56Having broken free from the shackles of the debt of gratitude,
00:01:59I will become the queen of this world.
00:02:08Ava, it's been five years.
00:02:11Our CEO has been waiting for you to say yes.
00:02:14I'll book you a first-class ticket right now.
00:02:19Alright, I'll head over now.
00:02:22Give me one more week.
00:02:24I still have some loose ends to tie up.
00:02:27You are a born queen of commerce.
00:02:29We await your leadership to make us a legend on Wall Street.
00:02:33Boss, great news.
00:02:35Ava signed.
00:02:36That genius girl who once ruled Wall Street is coming.
00:02:39Five years.
00:02:41I can finally see my light again.
00:02:49Ava, you're too slow.
00:02:50Can't you see Elena's hands are red from the shopping bags?
00:02:54Ava, I'm so sorry.
00:02:55These are just too heavy.
00:02:56I have to trouble you with them?
00:02:58It's no trouble at all.
00:02:59Happy to help.
00:03:00By the way, I found a woman's hair tie in Logan's bedroom.
00:03:03It wouldn't be yours, would it?
00:03:05Elena, don't talk nonsense.
00:03:07That was left by the cleaning staff.
00:03:09Ava moved out.
00:03:10After you left, how could she possibly be in my bedroom?
00:03:13Just kidding.
00:03:14Look how nervous you are.
00:03:16Justing Remichin.
00:03:17Ava, go line up for that limited edition item for us.
00:03:20Hurry up.
00:03:21Ava, Elena is quite conservative.
00:03:23I don't want her to hear any gossip about these five years.
00:03:26Trying to boyfriend meaty so Aina won't suspect anything.
00:03:29Fine.
00:03:29I'll find a suitable Divergen.
00:03:34His real princess has returned.
00:03:36It's time for this substitute to exit Eisrump, his world.
00:03:43Sorry, I just got off the phone with an international headhunter.
00:03:47All the big companies want to pojic me.
00:03:49Of course they do.
00:03:50Here, try this.
00:03:52It's all your favorites.
00:03:54Ava, why aren't you touching your cutlery?
00:03:56This seafood was flown in fresh.
00:03:58It's very expensive.
00:03:59I'm not hungry.
00:04:00Oh, I remember now.
00:04:02You're allergic to seafood?
00:04:03Logan, should we change restaurants?
00:04:05No need.
00:04:06She said she's not hungry.
00:04:07He knows perfectly well I'm allergic to seafood,
00:04:10and he knows Elena chose this place on purpose.
00:04:12It seems he doesn't care about my feelings at all.
00:04:15Ava, I invited a few old classmates tonight welcome Elena back.
00:04:18She missed your home-cooked meals.
00:04:20Go back to the villa tonight and prepare you a feast.
00:04:22All right.
00:04:23Logan, Ava is, after all, the group's executive president.
00:04:26Isn't it inappropriate to her cook like a maid?
00:04:28What's inappropriate about it?
00:04:29Everything she has today is thanks to my support.
00:04:32As long as I ask, she wouldn't dare say no.
00:04:34Right, Ava?
00:04:35Yes, Mr. Logan.
00:04:47Logan, are you serious?
00:04:49Ava's been with you for five years, and you're really gonna kick her out?
00:04:52Who said I was in a relationship with her?
00:04:55She was just a stand-in for Elena.
00:04:58Don't show anything in front of Elena.
00:04:59She's proud.
00:05:00She knew I used Ava as a substitute.
00:05:01She did feel insult.
00:05:02You're so devoted.
00:05:03You've had your eyes on Elena since college.
00:05:05But honestly, Ava is incredibly capable.
00:05:07Not only did she manage her company flawlessly, but she was also obedient in bed.
00:05:10Are you really willing to let her go?
00:05:11The passenger seat in my life is reserved only for a real princess.
00:05:15As for Ava, she's not worthy.
00:05:19Ava?
00:05:20What are you doing standing at the door with the fruit platter spacing out?
00:05:32Oh my god, was Ava at the door just now?
00:05:35Did she hear everything we said about her being cheap?
00:05:38So what if she did?
00:05:39Does she dare to get angry?
00:05:41Unless she wants to go back to the slums and beg for food.
00:05:45Mmm, so sweet.
00:05:47Logan, this personal assistant you keep really is better at cutting fruit than the hired help outside.
00:05:52Everyone thinks I'll break down, but I'm actually more cling-headed than anyone.
00:05:55In these five years, he never gave me love.
00:05:57And I, in turn, never truly gave him my heart.
00:06:01The fruit platter is ready.
00:06:03The main course will be served shortly.
00:06:05She clearly heard those words herds just now,
00:06:07way so much she have any reaction at all.
00:06:09Doesn't she care?
00:06:10Logan, we're partying here while the executive vice president is busy alone in the kitchen.
00:06:14Isn't that a bit too much?
00:06:16This is what she's supposed to do.
00:06:18Let's keep playing.
00:06:20Ava, you've worked hard.
00:06:22Come join us and eat.
00:06:25I'm not hungry.
00:06:27Enjoy yourselves.
00:06:29Don't mind her.
00:06:30Let's toast to celebrate Elena's return home.
00:06:33Elena, you're our goddess.
00:06:35This drink is to wish you a triumphant entry into the Vanderbilt Group upon your return and a brilliant future.
00:06:40I, I'm allergic to alcohol.
00:06:42I really can't drink something that's strong.
00:06:44Old classmate, that's not very considerate, is it?
00:06:47You have to at least make a gesture.
00:06:49Elena is delicate and can't handle this kind of thing.
00:06:52Ava, come here and drink it for her.
00:06:55Fine.
00:07:04Logan, you're spoiling Elena too much.
00:07:06Anyone who toasts her, you make Ava take the hit?
00:07:09Ava has a high tolerance.
00:07:11A little of this strong liquor won't hurt her.
00:07:13Then I have to toast the goddess too.
00:07:15Ava, cheers.
00:07:16Everything is about to end.
00:07:18In these last few days with Logan, I won't refuse any request you make.
00:07:24Ava, thank you for your hard work.
00:07:26I really wouldn't know what to do without you.
00:07:28So, even someone as arrogant and self-hortant as Logan can be tender-hearted.
00:07:32It's a pity that the one who helps in the proms will never be me.
00:07:40I don't like hearing those classmates linking you with Ava, even if she's just a substitute.
00:07:45Baby, my heart is yours.
00:07:47Ava is just our servant.
00:07:50You had a few glasses of champagne.
00:07:52Are you feeling dizzy?
00:07:53Don't be jealous for no reason.
00:07:55I've already declared to everyone that you are the future mistress of the group.
00:07:59I'll forgive you this time.
00:08:01Ava, you are really drunk.
00:08:03Let Logan drive you back to your apartment.
00:08:04No need.
00:08:05I can walk by myself.
00:08:07I have important business to attend to.
00:08:09Take a taxi yourself.
00:08:10Ava, don't make me think you can't even take care of yourself.
00:08:32Ava, didn't I tell you to find a man as a shield immediately?
00:08:35Why is there still no movement?
00:08:37I just finished being forced to drink by you, Mr. Logan.
00:08:41Don't play the victim with me.
00:08:44You're dragging your feet.
00:08:46Are you still holding on to some unrealistic fantasy about me?
00:08:53I didn't, Mr. Logan.
00:08:54Don't worry.
00:08:55I'll find one soon.
00:08:56Don't lie.
00:08:57Elena is starting to suspect us.
00:08:59I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.
00:09:03Don't worry.
00:09:04One more week, and I'll disappear completely from your world.
00:09:09So eager to jump into someone else's arms.
00:09:12That shield better be a decent one.
00:09:14Don't embarrass me.
00:09:24You told me to find one?
00:09:26You're so obedient, it's disgusting.
00:09:30Logan, I miss you.
00:09:31Can I move into your villa tomorrow?
00:09:33Of course, baby.
00:09:35My room is always waiting for you.
00:09:39Pick me and Elena up at 8 tomorrow morning to go to the company.
00:09:46What are your plans after returning?
00:09:48Where do you want to go?
00:09:49I want to help you with the Vandeboe Group.
00:09:51I don't want to be just a freeloader.
00:09:53Good.
00:09:54I'll give you a surprise later.
00:09:56I want the whole world to know who the real mistress of this company is.
00:10:00Actually, I got a top-tier master's in finance abroad just to help you.
00:10:05We're here.
00:10:06Darling, it's my first day.
00:10:08We should keep our distance.
00:10:09I don't want people saying I got the job through connections.
00:10:11That wouldn't be noble.
00:10:13See?
00:10:14She's still as pure and independent as she was in college.
00:10:17Newman nowadays will do anything to climb the ladder.
00:10:19From a simple general and her considered it, maybe she's the only one.
00:10:23Notify the board.
00:10:24We're having an all-hands executive meeting in 10 minutes.
00:10:26I have major per-personnel changes.
00:10:28All right.
00:10:29I'll take care of it right away.
00:10:34I heard there will be a major personnel announcement today.
00:10:36Ava doubled the company's performance,
00:10:38so she's definitely getting promoted to co-CEO at the headquarters.
00:10:41Naturally.
00:10:41Vanderbilt Group has relied entirely on Ava for the past five years.
00:10:44Based on merit, it has to be her.
00:10:46Ava, don't forget about us when you get promoted.
00:10:48Actually, I was just about to...
00:10:51Only one thing will be announced today.
00:10:55Regarding the appointment of the former executive vice president, Ava.
00:10:58Congratulations.
00:10:59Is Ava being transferred to the New York headquarters as CEO?
00:11:02No.
00:11:03I announce Ava is hereby relieved of her position as executive vice president and demoted to vice president's assistant.
00:11:11What?
00:11:12Demoted instead of promoted?
00:11:13To an assistant?
00:11:14Mr. Logan, Ava generated a billion dollars in profit for the company last year.
00:11:18And the person taking over the vice president position is a financial genius we just recruited from Cambridge.
00:11:23Miss Elena.
00:11:25Hello, everyone.
00:11:27Although I lack practical experience, I believe my international perspective is more suited to leading the company to a higher
00:11:32level.
00:11:32This is absurd. Replacing a meritorious vice president with an inexperienced rookie?
00:11:36Enough. Who is the master of this company?
00:11:39My word is the command.
00:11:41Ava, as an assistant, you'd better do your utmost to help Elena familiar herself with business.
00:11:47If she makes the slightest mistake, I'll hold you couple.
00:11:50Okay.
00:11:52Ava, are you crazy? This is too humiliating.
00:11:56I have never objected to Mr. Logan's decisions.
00:11:58Vice President Elena, please follow me to your office.
00:12:01Then I'll trouble you, Assistant Ava.
00:12:04This is your office.
00:12:05Assistant Ava, there's a bit of dust on the tip of my shoe.
00:12:09Since you were so skilled at serving Logan before now, clean it for me too.
00:12:18Is Elena crazy?
00:12:19She's actually making Ava clean her shoes?
00:12:21This is a downright insult to her dignity.
00:12:23Don't be impulsive.
00:12:24APA must have her reasons for doing this.
00:12:28Oh my God, Ava's really kneeling down to clean them?
00:12:31This is absurd.
00:12:32Ava, I'm warning you.
00:12:34Back then it was because of me that Logan even gave you a second glance.
00:12:37Without me, you'd still be washing dishes in the slums.
00:12:40It's thanks to my face that you've climbed to where you are today.
00:12:43Does it hurt?
00:12:44Remember this feeling of lowiness.
00:12:46You're nothing but a dog I've graciously allowed to exist.
00:12:49Don't even think about overstepping your bounds and don't you dare try to seduce my Logan.
00:12:54Don't worry, Elena.
00:12:55I'm very clear about my place in Mr. Logan's heart.
00:12:58I've never coveted things that don't belong to me.
00:13:00Stubborn words are useless.
00:13:03Honey, want to go see a movie tonight?
00:13:04There's a new project at Universal Studios.
00:13:06I'll wait for you.
00:13:07Okay, see you then.
00:13:08You already have a boyfriend?
00:13:10Logan, I have good news for you.
00:13:12Ava has a boyfriend.
00:13:13I thought she had a crush on you all along.
00:13:14It seems I was overthinking it.
00:13:15I think you've misunderstood.
00:13:16The relationship between me and President Logan is purely one of sponsorship and employment.
00:13:20I've never had any appropriate thoughts.
00:13:22For and over, I love my boyfriend very much.
00:13:24Damn it.
00:13:25I just told her last night to find a male companion, and she's already found one today.
00:13:29Is there really not an angle place for me in her heart?
00:13:31Perfect.
00:13:32In a few days, there's a company team-building event to celebrate my appointment.
00:13:35Ava, bring your nonpoing along.
00:13:36Let's see you just huck stranding the man who Chunkeramon or New Jillian Drenrys.
00:13:40Yes, I'm also him curious.
00:13:41Ava, bring him long then.
00:13:43No problem.
00:13:43Mr. Logan, we have an appointment with Mr. Grant from Grant Financial Group to sign the contract.
00:13:48It's the most important order of the year.
00:13:49Elena, this deal is crucial for the company's IPO.
00:13:52We must secure it.
00:13:53Don't worry, darling.
00:13:54With my overseas background, I guarantee we'll nail the negotiation beautifully.
00:13:59Mr. Grant, this is Ms. Elena, the company's new vice president.
00:14:02She is fully responsible for today's contract renewal negotiation.
00:14:05What?
00:14:05I remember Grant Financial's business has always been handled by you.
00:14:08Who is this administrative rookie?
00:14:10Mr. Grant, Ava is now just my assistant.
00:14:12The future of Vandert Group is controlled by elites like me with an international vision.
00:14:17Please sign.
00:14:18I hope your abilities are as impressive as your academic credentials.
00:14:21What are you looking at?
00:14:22Pervert, you're actually peeking at me.
00:14:25What nonsense are you talking about?
00:14:26I'm reading the 12th clause about compensating...
00:14:28Stop pretending.
00:14:30I've seen plenty of self-righteous men like you.
00:14:32It's disgusting.
00:14:33Don't think just because you're rich you can casually harass women.
00:14:37You dare hit me?
00:14:38I'm hitting you, you pervert.
00:14:39I'll use Logan's connections to ruin your reputation in New York.
00:14:42Vandert Group letting a paranoid lunark like this be vice president means bankruptcy is just around the corner.
00:14:46The deal is off, and I will withdraw all funding from Grant Financial.
00:14:49Mr. Grant, this is a misunderstanding.
00:14:51Please let me explain.
00:14:52Ava, I pity you, wasting your talent in this garbage dump.
00:14:55Vandert Group is finished.
00:14:59Elena, if you've destroyed company's most important changing...
00:15:01It's just some disgusting man who can't control his eyes.
00:15:04What's the big deal?
00:15:05Logan will handle it.
00:15:14Why are you dressed like this?
00:15:25Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for one night?
00:15:28The pay is $3,000.
00:15:33Don't worry, sis.
00:15:34I'm a professional.
00:15:35I guarantee I'll make your colleagues stare.
00:15:38Remember, talk less later.
00:15:40Don't give us away.
00:15:41Don't worry.
00:15:41I'm certified in playing the affectionate puppy dog type.
00:15:47Wow, Ava.
00:15:48This couldn't be your Mr. Right, could it?
00:15:50That outfit is terrifying.
00:15:52Little brother, what high position do you hold?
00:15:54Hello, sis.
00:15:55I'm the hottest face blogger on the entire internet.
00:15:57Search for Gritz Aquos to find me.
00:15:59Remember to follow and send me a sports car.
00:16:00Logan, your former vice president's taste is truly unique.
00:16:03But then again, this kind of influencer who lives off their looks is a perfect match for her status.
00:16:08Ava, I never thought your taste was this poor, that you'd stoop so low as to hire such a cheap
00:16:12performer.
00:16:13Why not?
00:16:14In my heart, he's much more genuine than those hypocritical elites.
00:16:19True.
00:16:20Bottom feeders love this kind of influencer the most.
00:16:23By the way, all the guests have arrived.
00:16:25Didn't you say you had a special welcome back gift for me?
00:16:28Hey, I haven't even started showing off my acting skills yet.
00:16:31Why did they leave?
00:16:32Enough.
00:16:33Your job is done.
00:16:34The final payment has been sent.
00:16:36Go.
00:16:36Thanks, sponsor sis.
00:16:45Lena, this is a welcome gift to celebrate your official entry into the Vanderbilt Group.
00:16:50Oh!
00:16:51Darling, it's so beautiful.
00:16:53It's perfect.
00:16:57Ava, does this Rolex look good with my skin tone?
00:17:03It does.
00:17:07If it weren't for paying off that astronomical debt for my family, I wouldn't have sold myself to Logan.
00:17:13I could have had the purest love too, right?
00:17:26Miss Ava, tomorrow is the day you officially take over as CEO of Liberty Financial.
00:17:31Mr. Liam and I are both waiting for you.
00:17:34Don't worry.
00:17:34I'll be there on time tomorrow.
00:17:36The contract is signed and I won't break it.
00:17:39Excellent.
00:17:40We are very much looking forward to your leadership.
00:17:42The time for farewell has finally come.
00:17:44Logan, thank you for the financial support back then, for saving my critically ill mother,
00:17:49and for giving me a foothold in this cold city.
00:17:51Thank you for giving me the dream of a rebirth, even though I knew that in your heart,
00:17:55I would always be just a humble shadow.
00:17:57I heard you're the poorest student who needs money the most.
00:18:00Help me win over Elena, and I'll fund you through college.
00:18:06Elena, don't leave me.
00:18:09For these five years, I've dutifully served as his substitute,
00:18:13accompanying him through his darkest hours.
00:18:16In my heart, you were once an unreachable star, but I'm tired.
00:18:19Goodbye, my former obsession.
00:18:21Goodbye, my shattered youth.
00:18:23Chairman Logan,
00:18:26this glass,
00:18:27I toast to you.
00:18:28Thank you for all your care over the years.
00:18:31Today I'd like to talk to you about my-
00:18:32Chairman,
00:18:33it's terrible.
00:18:34Grant Financial just formally issued a legal letter,
00:18:36announcing a complete withdrawal of investment,
00:18:38and suing us for a bridge of contract.
00:18:39The company's stock price has already hit the limit down.
00:18:46Chairman,
00:18:47something terrible has happened.
00:18:49Grant Financial has not only dominated all cooperation,
00:18:52but has also joined forces with the four major investment banks on Wall Street
00:18:55to launch a comprehensive blockade against us.
00:18:58How is that possible?
00:19:00Grant has been our staunch ally for five years.
00:19:02Why would they suddenly turn against us?
00:19:04On the day of the signing,
00:19:06Vice President Elena maliciously speculated that Chairman Grant was peeping at her,
00:19:09and even slapped him in public.
00:19:11He insulted me first!
00:19:12He was staring at my chest!
00:19:14I was just defending my dignity as a woman!
00:19:16Ava,
00:19:17I told you to assist Elena.
00:19:18Are you dead?
00:19:19Grant Financial is the source of half of our company's funding.
00:19:22Don't you understand the consequences of offending such a giant?
00:19:25If you had stopped this foolish behavior in time,
00:19:27how could things have got this rotten?
00:19:29Chair not.
00:19:30Miseva tried her best to stop it,
00:19:31and even demanded Elena apologize immediately.
00:19:33It was Elena who wouldn't listen,
00:19:35and even threatened Miseva.
00:19:36That's right.
00:19:37If Miss Ava hadn't intervened,
00:19:38Elena would have probably torn the other party to shreds
00:19:40right there in the conference room.
00:19:42Ava!
00:19:44Even if she stopped you,
00:19:45couldn't you have called me directly?
00:19:46Where is your professionalism?
00:19:47You actually concealed such a catastrophic disaster
00:19:49and didn't report it.
00:19:50Chairman,
00:19:51President Amba was about to report it at the time,
00:19:53but Vice President Elena said she would communicate with you personally.
00:19:57It seems she didn't mention a single word.
00:19:58Honey,
00:19:59I just wanted to find the right time to explain.
00:20:01I didn't know that man would be so petty.
00:20:02Chairman,
00:20:03the board of directors at headquarters demands you return for a meeting immediately.
00:20:06They hope you gives a German a reasonable explanation.
00:20:10Ava,
00:20:10come with me.
00:20:19Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.
00:20:21She is my chosen future wife,
00:20:22and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.
00:20:26So,
00:20:27you plan to make me the scapegoat?
00:20:29I will personally submit a report to the board.
00:20:31It will state that it was your overstepping and probation
00:20:33that angered Mr. Grant and led to the withdrawal of funds.
00:20:36Don't worry.
00:20:37Once the dust settles,
00:20:39I'll find a way to bring you back.
00:20:40Making me take the bullet for him again.
00:20:42In these five years,
00:20:43how many messes have I cleaned up for him?
00:20:45How many times I've been the fall guy?
00:20:47Logan,
00:20:47how can you be so at ease without even a seal of quills?
00:20:51Logan,
00:20:52one should be responsible for one's own actions.
00:20:54If Ava isn't reeling,
00:20:56just let me resign and take the blame.
00:20:58I don't want to see you in a difficult position because of me.
00:21:01Ava,
00:21:01do you really need me to beg you?
00:21:03You handled taking the fall so perfectly before.
00:21:05Why are you acting so unwilling in front of Elena?
00:21:07Don't you know your stubbornness now is destroying all our hard work?
00:21:14Fine.
00:21:15This one last time.
00:21:17I'll take the bullet for you one last time.
00:21:20Why did she agree so readily?
00:21:22Why is she leaving so decisively this time?
00:21:25Could it be,
00:21:26I really went too far?
00:21:27Darling,
00:21:27stop thinking about that assistant.
00:21:29She took your money.
00:21:30It's her honor to take the fall for me.
00:21:31Today is my first celebration after joining the company.
00:21:34Don't keep the executives waiting.
00:21:35What are you feeling guilty about?
00:21:37Ava is just a dog.
00:21:39Even if she occasionally gets upset,
00:21:41long you give her some luxury goods.
00:21:43She like little Grie Chan-y at your foot.
00:21:45That's your runt.
00:21:47Let's go.
00:21:48Tonight,
00:21:48you are the only star.
00:21:56What are you doing here?
00:21:57Mr. Grant,
00:21:58I am here on behalf of the group to formally apologize to you.
00:22:02To Vice President Elena,
00:22:03and to the glory that awaits us.
00:22:05Congratulations, Elena.
00:22:07Cheers!
00:22:07Get out with your chief apology!
00:22:09Tell Logan to kneel before me himself,
00:22:12or this isn't over!
00:22:17In New York,
00:22:18no one dares to touch Grant's face.
00:22:19You want to make peace?
00:22:21Dream on.
00:22:22Mr. Grant,
00:22:22I take full responsibility for this matter.
00:22:24As long as you can calm down,
00:22:26we are willing to bear all responsibility
00:22:27and provide compensation.
00:22:29To calm me down,
00:22:30sure.
00:22:30If you drink all of these,
00:22:32I'll consider withdrawing the lawyer's letter.
00:22:34Fine.
00:22:34Wait a minute.
00:22:35Since you're taking the blame for someone else,
00:22:37you should at least have the posture of begging,
00:22:39right?
00:22:40Drink on your knee.
00:22:41That's right.
00:22:41In this city of New York,
00:22:43no one who asks Grant for a favor
00:22:45does it standing up.
00:22:47What?
00:22:48Can't stand the humiliation?
00:22:50Then get out.
00:23:11Elena,
00:23:12the future of the Vanderbilt group
00:23:13depends on you
00:23:14to lead us to new heights.
00:23:16Congratulations, Miss Elena,
00:23:18on securing your throne.
00:23:19Cheers.
00:23:24I wonder if that woman Ava
00:23:26can get Grant's letter of understanding.
00:23:50Oh, my God!
00:23:52Ava just released a public statement.
00:23:54She announced she takes full responsibility
00:23:56for the Grant withdrawal incident
00:23:57and is formally resigning.
00:24:01Resigning?
00:24:03She dares to resign?
00:24:05Ava!
00:24:06What the hell are you trying to do?
00:24:08Who gave you permission
00:24:09to leave me at a time like this?
00:24:11Why is Logan losing control like this
00:24:13just because Ava resigned?
00:24:14That look in his eyes.
00:24:15He's never shown it to me.
00:24:17Could it be he still loves Ava?
00:24:22You're funding back then
00:24:23allowed me to finish college.
00:24:25You truly were the only beam of light
00:24:27in the darkest night of my life.
00:24:29Over these five years,
00:24:30I've made you profits a hundredfold.
00:24:32All my savings are in this card.
00:24:34Enough to offset all your benedulency
00:24:36from back then.
00:24:37Goodbye forever, Logan.
00:24:43Ava, these reports must be redone
00:24:45before the end of the day today.
00:24:47Also, go to that Michelin-starred restaurant
00:24:48at Moon and queue up
00:24:49to make a reservation for me.
00:24:50Logan likes their truffles.
00:24:51You can keep this garbage
00:24:52and chew on it yourself.
00:24:54As for making a reservation,
00:24:55if you're not so useless
00:24:56that your legs are broken,
00:24:58go roll over there yourself.
00:25:00I'm no longer an employee here.
00:25:01You have no right to order me around.
00:25:03Ava, where do you get the nerve
00:25:04to talk to me like that?
00:25:05Without me,
00:25:06you're not even fit
00:25:07to shine Logan's shoes.
00:25:08Since you want to get lost,
00:25:09get lost far away.
00:25:10Disappear from New York completely
00:25:11and don't come back
00:25:12wagging your tail like a stray dog.
00:25:14Elena, you've played the part
00:25:15of that pure money-disdaining
00:25:17white moonlight very successfully.
00:25:18But remember,
00:25:19a play is just a play.
00:25:20When Logan discovers the rot
00:25:21beneath that skin of yours,
00:25:22I hope you can still smile so brightly.
00:25:35Chairman, the accounts are settled.
00:25:38Thank you for the hell
00:25:39you've given me all these years.
00:25:41It's made me invincible.
00:25:52Ava, you really left?
00:25:56How dare she leave
00:25:57without my permission?
00:26:01Ava, I'll use all my votes
00:26:03on the board to keep you.
00:26:04I haven't approved
00:26:05this resignation report yet.
00:26:06Get back to the company right now.
00:26:09Chairman Logan,
00:26:10there's no need.
00:26:11The nature of this withdrawal incident
00:26:12is extremely severe.
00:26:14Vanderbilt Group must give
00:26:15the other party an explanation
00:26:16and I am the best scapegoat.
00:26:18You make a good point.
00:26:19Let's ride out this storm first.
00:26:20Once those old guys calm down,
00:26:22I'll bring you back.
00:26:23Also, take that black card
00:26:25on the table.
00:26:25It's your compensation.
00:26:27I never intended for you
00:26:28to pay back that tuition money.
00:26:29Chairman, I don't like owing debts
00:26:31and I especially don't like
00:26:32owing favors.
00:26:33The money in that card
00:26:34was what you funded me
00:26:35with for university.
00:26:36I paid it all back to you.
00:26:38Ava, because I let Elena
00:26:39take your position
00:26:39and made you take the fall
00:26:41for her that you're unhappy?
00:26:42You have to understand
00:26:43my predicament.
00:26:44Elena just returned
00:26:45to the country.
00:26:45She needs a perfect resume
00:26:47to solidify her position
00:26:48in the company.
00:26:49Your abilities are known
00:26:50throughout New York.
00:26:51Even if you take this blame,
00:26:52it won't hurt
00:26:53your foundation at all.
00:26:54I'm not angry.
00:26:55In fact,
00:26:56I'm even grateful
00:26:56for taking this fall.
00:26:57It made me realize
00:26:58how liberating freedom feels.
00:27:00Where exactly
00:27:00are you planning to go?
00:27:01To a place
00:27:02where there's no more
00:27:03you and Elena.
00:27:04Isn't that what
00:27:05you've always wanted most?
00:27:07From now on,
00:27:08no one will stand
00:27:08in the way
00:27:09of your white mood line anymore.
00:27:11I...
00:27:11Ava, listen to me.
00:27:14The boarding announcement
00:27:15is on.
00:27:16Goodbye, Logan.
00:27:40Darling, I'm so happy today.
00:27:42We should celebrate
00:27:42being together.
00:27:43And why not invite Ava, too?
00:27:44All she's worked so hard
00:27:46all these years.
00:27:46She see our happiness
00:27:47with her own eyes.
00:28:03Five years of waiting
00:28:04have finally borne fruit tonight.
00:28:05In this world,
00:28:07nothing is more precious
00:28:08than a love

00:28:22You are the only
00:28:23queen for Logan.

00:28:54You've finally waited
00:28:54for the white moonlight
00:28:55of your dreams.
00:28:56And I, too,
00:28:57have finally waited
00:28:58for my freedom.
00:29:05Welcome to Los Angeles.
00:29:07I'm also very happy
00:29:09to arrive in this
00:29:10new world.
00:29:17Welcome aboard.
00:29:18It's time to start
00:29:19your era.

00:29:26Miss Ava,
00:29:27let me formally
00:29:28introduce you.

00:29:36Wall Street
00:29:37and create glory
00:29:39that belongs
00:29:40to us.
00:29:42Alright,
00:29:43I'll give it my all.
00:29:51Ava,
00:29:53Elena has officially
00:29:54accepted my proposal.
00:29:55We're having a celebration
00:29:56party at the penthouse
00:29:58tonight.
00:29:58You should come.
00:29:59Elena said she wants
00:30:00you to witness
00:30:01our happiest moment
00:30:02with your own eyes.
00:30:04I won't be going.
00:30:06That kind of moment
00:30:06belongs only
00:30:07to the two of you.
00:30:08There's no need
00:30:09to share it
00:30:09with an outsider.
00:30:10Congratulations.
00:30:11Ava,
00:30:11are you still sulking
00:30:12with me over
00:30:13the scapegoat incident?
00:30:14When did you become
00:30:14so petty,
00:30:15so unreasonable?
00:30:16You should understand
00:30:17my disfella.
00:30:18It was for the greater good.
00:30:19You're overthinking it.
00:30:21I'm really not angry.
00:30:22Alright,
00:30:23I'm very busy.
00:30:24That's all.
00:30:25Fuck.
00:30:26Fuck.
00:30:27Fuck.
00:30:28Fuck.
00:30:32Fuck.
00:30:32Fuck.
00:30:32Fuck.
00:30:33Logan,
00:30:34I've already
00:30:35repaid your kindness
00:30:36with five years
00:30:37of my freedom.
00:30:38From now on,
00:30:38our worlds will
00:30:39no longer intersect.
00:30:41My life is only
00:30:42truly beginning now.
00:30:49Ava!
00:30:50You damn woman,
00:30:51not only did you
00:30:52reject me,
00:30:53but you actually
00:30:53dared to hang up on me.
00:30:55She's getting more
00:30:56in there,
00:30:56Goldinas.
00:30:57Sorry,
00:30:58the number you dialed
00:30:59is powered out.
00:31:00Darling,
00:31:01Ava must still
00:31:02be angry with me.
00:31:03It's all my fault.
00:31:04How about
00:31:05on our wedding day?
00:31:06I go and invite
00:31:07her personally.
00:31:09I believe she'll
00:31:10eventually bless us
00:31:11with tears in her eyes.
00:31:19Exactly.
00:31:20What right does she
00:31:21have to refuse me?
00:31:23Everything she has
00:31:24now was given
00:31:24by me.
00:31:26She's nothing
00:31:27but a dog I raised.
00:31:29It won't be long
00:31:30before she gets
00:31:31knocked around
00:31:31and bruised out there
00:31:33and then obediently
00:31:34crawls back,
00:31:36begging me to
00:31:36take her in.
00:31:38But why did her tone
00:31:40sound so unfamiliar
00:31:40just now?
00:31:41This feeling of
00:31:42losing my grip,
00:31:43could it really be
00:31:44just an illusion?
00:31:44Why do I have this
00:31:45feeling that she's
00:31:46going to disappear
00:31:47from my side?
00:32:04Ava, welcome to
00:32:05Liberty Financial.
00:32:07From today on,
00:32:08this is your stage.
00:32:11Chairman, we have
00:32:12a major problem.
00:32:13Our merger negotiations
00:32:14with Everett Group
00:32:14have completely reached
00:32:15a deadlock.
00:32:16The other party's
00:32:17chief negotiator
00:32:17suddenly turned hostile,
00:32:18demanding an additional
00:32:1920% of equity shares
00:32:20on up of the original
00:32:21terms, or they'll
00:32:22terminate the
00:32:22cooperation immediately.
00:32:24What?
00:32:24We've been preparing
00:32:25for this project
00:32:26for five whole years,
00:32:27investing hundreds
00:32:28of millions of dollars
00:32:29in upfront capital.
00:32:30If it collapses now,
00:32:31the group's cash flow
00:32:32will dry up instantly.
00:32:33We won't be able
00:32:34to hold on.
00:32:35Are the people
00:32:35they sent that guy
00:32:36nicked him the
00:32:37vulture miller,
00:32:38and they notoriously
00:32:38greedy Harrison?
00:32:40Yes.
00:32:40It's them.
00:32:42These two are
00:32:43notoriously difficult
00:32:44to deal with
00:32:44on Wall Street.
00:32:46They don't play
00:32:46by any professional rules.
00:32:49What a coincidence.
00:32:51Back at the
00:32:51Vanderbilt Group,
00:32:52I almost drive
00:32:53those two into bankruptcy.
00:32:54They're my old rivals.
00:32:58Leave this project
00:32:59to me.
00:33:03Chairman,
00:33:04who is she?
00:33:05Isn't it too risky
00:33:06to hand over
00:33:06such a big project
00:33:07to a new face?
00:33:08Let me formally
00:33:09introduce to everyone.
00:33:10This is the company's
00:33:11newly assigned
00:33:12executive vice president
00:33:13president and chief
00:33:14operating officer,
00:33:15Ava.
00:33:16Hello, everyone.
00:33:17I'm Ava.
00:33:18Transfer all the
00:33:19core materials
00:33:19in our tumbles
00:33:20to President Ava.
00:33:21She has the highest
00:33:22decisioning authority
00:33:23for the coming negotiations.
00:33:25Understood.
00:33:28Ava,
00:33:29I've waited five years
00:33:30just to be able
00:33:31to stand at the
00:33:31pinnacle of Wall Street
00:33:32with you side by side.
00:33:34I firmly believe
00:33:35you will never
00:33:35let me down.
00:33:36Ava,
00:33:37she is a top-class
00:33:38hunter on Wall Street.
00:33:41I believe
00:33:41she won't miss.
00:33:42Charent,
00:33:43is she really capable?
00:33:45The other kind
00:33:45is notoriously
00:33:46stingy on Wall Street.
00:33:48This president,
00:33:49Ava,
00:33:49is a war goddess,
00:33:50the chairman
00:33:51personally snatched
00:33:51from the hands
00:33:52of New York's
00:33:53top financial magnets.
00:33:54On Wall Street,
00:33:55no one wants to face
00:33:56her at the negotiation table.
00:33:58Open your eyes wide
00:33:59and see clearly.
00:34:00This is the true king
00:34:01of top-tier
00:34:01brussels negotiation.
00:34:10Miller Harrison,
00:34:12long time no see?
00:34:14Ava,
00:34:14what are you doing here?
00:34:16I'm now in charge
00:34:17of the acquisition
00:34:18for this Liberty
00:34:19financial project.
00:34:20I never imagined
00:34:21our opponent
00:34:22would be you.
00:34:23So what's the
00:34:24we're left to discuss?
00:34:25We've experienced
00:34:26your methods firsthand.
00:34:28All those
00:34:28underhanded negotiation
00:34:29tactics are just
00:34:30a waste of time
00:34:31in front of you.
00:34:32Then sign.
00:34:34No problem.
00:34:35You are the guarantee
00:34:36of industry credibility.
00:34:37We can drive
00:34:38a hard bargain
00:34:39with rookies.
00:34:40But with you,
00:34:41we value long-term
00:34:42cooperation more.
00:34:43Smart.
00:34:44Liberty Financial
00:34:45will provide you
00:34:45with top-tier
00:34:46investment banking
00:34:47support in return.
00:34:49Am I seeing things?
00:34:50That tough nut
00:34:51we've been trying
00:34:51to crack for five years
00:34:52and she got it signed
00:34:53in less than five minutes?
00:34:54This isn't a negotiation.
00:34:55It's a one-hided domination.
00:34:56Incredible.
00:34:57Is this Ava's true power?
00:34:59Simply amazing.
00:35:00Our company's
00:35:01about to take off.
00:35:02Senior,
00:35:02you're still the queen
00:35:03everyone looks up to.
00:35:04With you,
00:35:05Liberty Financial
00:35:06is about to experience
00:35:07a dreamlike leap forward.
00:35:11Pleasure doing business.
00:35:15Pleasure doing business.
00:35:17Ava,
00:35:18Logan is truly insane
00:35:19to let go of a partner
00:35:20of your caliber.
00:35:21You flatter me, Miller.
00:35:23That's not just politeness.
00:35:25If we had known earlier
00:35:26that you were leaving
00:35:27that troublesome company,
00:35:28we would have offered
00:35:29double the equity
00:35:30to poach you.
00:35:32Since you both trust me
00:35:33so much,
00:35:33we'll be allies
00:35:34in Los Angeles
00:35:35from now on.
00:35:36It's a deal.
00:35:37See you again.
00:35:41Miss Ava,
00:35:42how on earth
00:35:43did you do it?
00:35:44They're known
00:35:44as the devil's representatives
00:35:46who never concede.
00:35:48The essence of business
00:35:49is the equivalent
00:35:50exchange of resources.
00:35:53As long as you see
00:35:54through the other
00:35:55party's weakness
00:35:56and offer a bargaining chip
00:35:58they can't refuse,
00:35:59success is a matter
00:36:01of course.
00:36:05As expected
00:36:06of my senior,
00:36:07with you on board,
00:36:08Liberty Financial
00:36:09is destined
00:36:10to shine on Wall Street.
00:36:11I'm honored
00:36:12to join the Liberty
00:36:13Financial team.
00:36:17The terms
00:36:18of this offshore
00:36:19funds betting agreement
00:36:20are overwhelmingly
00:36:21in our favor.
00:36:23Is it really reliable?
00:36:25Of course.
00:36:26This is a project
00:36:27personally recommended
00:36:28by my classmate
00:36:29from Cambridge.
00:36:30There's absolutely
00:36:30no problem.
00:36:31Elena,
00:36:32with you by my side,
00:36:33I'm like a like wings.
00:36:35Once we sign
00:36:35this project,
00:36:36the market value
00:36:37of Vanderbilt Group
00:36:38can double this quarter
00:36:39and those old board members
00:36:40will have nothing to say.
00:36:42Am I better
00:36:43than that Ava
00:36:44who all knows
00:36:44how to bear
00:36:45your head and worker?
00:36:46Her?
00:36:47She's not worth
00:36:48one ten thousandth of you.
00:36:49As long as I help
00:36:50Logan secure
00:36:51these few more
00:36:52big deals
00:36:52and completely
00:36:53win his father's approval,
00:36:54I'll be the true
00:36:55mistress of the
00:36:56Vanderbilt family.
00:36:58So,
00:36:59how does it feel
00:37:00to be back
00:37:00at our alma mater?
00:37:01Much more relaxing
00:37:02than the office buildings
00:37:03in Manhattan, right?
00:37:04I never thought
00:37:05we'd reunite
00:37:06under these circumstances,
00:37:08but Liam,
00:37:09our meeting again,
00:37:10it probably wasn't
00:37:11a coincidence,
00:37:12was it?
00:37:15Actually,
00:37:16I've been
00:37:16sirely watching you
00:37:17all these years.
00:37:19It's just that
00:37:20you were too close
00:37:21to Logan
00:37:21and never had
00:37:23a chance
00:37:23to step in.
00:37:24To be honest,
00:37:25I fell for you
00:37:26at first sight.
00:37:27I watched you
00:37:27compete in speech
00:37:28contests
00:37:29and dominate
00:37:29in debates.
00:37:31After graduation,
00:37:32I wanted to invite
00:37:32you to start
00:37:33a business together,
00:37:34but then I heard
00:37:34you joined
00:37:35Logan's family business
00:37:36to pay off your debt.
00:37:37From the day
00:37:37I entered Vanderbilt,
00:37:38I never planned
00:37:39to stay for a lifetime.
00:37:40I was just
00:37:41repaying a debt.
00:37:42Once it's paid off,
00:37:43it's time to leave.
00:37:44But I heard
00:37:44you were in a core position,
00:37:46holding all the
00:37:46lifelines of the company.
00:37:48How could that
00:37:48lunatic Logan
00:37:49bear to let you go?
00:37:50The world keeps
00:37:51turning without anyone.
00:37:52I'm not as
00:37:53indispensable as he thinks.
00:37:54I've done
00:37:55what needed
00:37:55to be done,
00:37:56repaid what
00:37:57needed to be repaid.
00:37:58We're even.
00:37:59I can disappear
00:37:59from his world
00:38:00with a clear conscience.
00:38:01Now that you've
00:38:02come to my side,
00:38:03I will never
00:38:03let go again.
00:38:07Chairman,
00:38:07something terrible
00:38:08has happened.
00:38:09Vice President Elena
00:38:10publicly fired
00:38:10our top salesperson,
00:38:11Carter,
00:38:12just because he was
00:38:12ten minutes late
00:38:13to the morning meeting.
00:38:14Carter was immediately
00:38:15poached by our
00:38:16arch-rival,
00:38:17Apex Capital.
00:38:18He took three
00:38:19of our core
00:38:20major clients
00:38:20with him.
00:38:22The company's
00:38:23losses are at least
00:38:24$200 million.
00:38:26Who gave her
00:38:27permission to touch
00:38:28Carter?
00:38:28He's the pillar
00:38:29of our company's
00:38:30performance.
00:38:35Chairman,
00:38:36it gets worse.
00:38:37We just wired
00:38:37the $50 million
00:38:38advance for that
00:38:39overseas project
00:38:40Elena signed off of
00:38:41and the recipient's
00:38:41account was instantly
00:38:42deactivated.
00:38:43We checked the FBI's
00:38:44blacklist.
00:38:45It's just a shell
00:38:46company for money
00:38:46laundering.
00:38:47We've been set up.
00:38:49What?
00:38:53Chairman,
00:38:54I personally
00:38:55half a month
00:38:56a month
00:38:56in Silicon Valley
00:38:57touched
00:38:57the socials
00:38:58genius Carter.
00:39:00With Ham on board,
00:39:01no one can touch
00:39:02Vanderbilt's
00:39:03and with North
00:39:03Mayor's share.
00:39:04This man's
00:39:05background is indeed
00:39:06clean
00:39:07and formidable.
00:39:08And these
00:39:09offshore projects,
00:39:10I've been tracking
00:39:10them for two years.
00:39:12I've personally
00:39:12done all the
00:39:13risk assessments.
00:39:14As long as
00:39:15I'm here,
00:39:15none of your
00:39:16decisions will go
00:39:17wrong.
00:39:18Chairman,
00:39:19Elena just signed
00:39:20two $10 billion
00:39:21hedge agreements
00:39:21with European
00:39:22investment banks
00:39:23in your name.
00:39:23But according
00:39:24to our emergency
00:39:25due diligence,
00:39:26both companies
00:39:26are backed
00:39:27by nothing but
00:39:27shells.
00:39:28The risk is
00:39:28off the circus.
00:39:29Chairman,
00:39:30you have to
00:39:30make a decision
00:39:31or the company
00:39:31will be hollowed
00:39:32out.
00:39:45In such a short
00:39:47time,
00:39:47I've used
00:39:48my university
00:39:49connections
00:39:49to secure
00:39:50so many
00:39:51major projects
00:39:52for Logan.
00:39:53He must be
00:39:54looking at me
00:39:54in a new
00:39:55light now,
00:39:56finally realizing
00:39:57who his true
00:39:58partner in
00:39:59battle is.
00:40:03Investigate.
00:40:04The overseas
00:40:05parent companies
00:40:06of these two
00:40:07projects have
00:40:08no operational
00:40:09qualifications
00:40:10at all.
00:40:11They're all
00:40:11shell companies
00:40:12for money
00:40:13laundering.
00:40:14Chairman,
00:40:15the finance
00:40:16department just
00:40:17followed Miss
00:40:17Elena's urgent
00:40:18instructions and
00:40:19has already
00:40:19transferred all
00:40:20the down
00:40:21payments.
00:40:22All
00:40:23transferred?
00:40:24Five hundred
00:40:25million dollars?
00:40:26How on earth
00:40:27did Elena vet
00:40:28their qualifications?
00:40:29Is her brain
00:40:29filled with mush?
00:40:31With this level
00:40:32of incompetence,
00:40:33she's not even
00:40:34worth one ten
00:40:35thousandth of Ava.
00:40:41All of you,
00:40:42get out!
00:40:48If Ava were here,
00:40:50such a low-level
00:40:51mistake would never
00:40:52have happened.
00:40:55If Ava were here,
00:40:56such a low-level
00:40:57mistake would never
00:40:58have happened.
00:40:59But why?
00:41:00Elena is clearly
00:41:01my first love,
00:41:02so why do I have
00:41:03such absurd thoughts?
00:41:04Elena just returned
00:41:05to the country.
00:41:06It's inevitable
00:41:07there are slip-ups
00:41:08in business.
00:41:09As long as I bring
00:41:10Ava back to assist
00:41:11her, the company
00:41:12will quickly get
00:41:13back on track.
00:41:17Sorry, the number
00:41:18you have dialed
00:41:19is not in service.
00:41:21Not in service?
00:41:23Ava, you've gone
00:41:24this far?
00:41:25You even cut off
00:41:26the last means of
00:41:27contact?
00:41:29Contact?
00:41:30Contact?
00:41:32Contact?
00:41:33Contact?
00:41:41Ava, open the door!
00:41:43I know you're in
00:41:44there, don't play
00:41:44hide-and-souk with
00:41:45me!
00:41:55Ava?
00:42:11Logan, this is
00:42:12my final gift to
00:42:13you.
00:42:14Everything you
00:42:15casually handed down
00:42:15to me over the
00:42:16years is in this
00:42:17box.
00:42:21I didn't take a
00:42:22single piece of
00:42:23the trash in the
00:42:24closet that you
00:42:25looked down upon.
00:42:26We're even now.
00:42:28Goodbye forever.
00:42:36What does she mean
00:42:37by this?
00:42:38These were my
00:42:39rewards to her.
00:42:40She never used a
00:42:42single one?
00:42:46This Rolex was
00:42:47originally bought for
00:42:48Elena, but I
00:42:50remembered wrong.
00:42:52She doesn't like
00:42:53this kind of rugged
00:42:53strap.
00:42:54It's yours now.
00:42:55Take it and wear.
00:43:13The tag is still
00:43:14on.
00:43:16She never wore
00:43:17any of the clothes
00:43:17I bought for her.
00:43:23The tag is still
00:43:25on.
00:43:26She never wore
00:43:27any of the clothes
00:43:28I bought for her.
00:43:29Darling, does this
00:43:30limited edition
00:43:31Chanel suit your
00:43:32complexion?
00:43:33Honey, I've long
00:43:34outgrown that old
00:43:35fashion style.
00:43:36I have other
00:43:37brands I prefer.
00:43:38Gotta go.
00:43:39Wham?
00:43:47Elena doesn't like
00:43:49it.
00:43:49This trash is
00:43:50yours now.
00:43:51Throw it away or
00:43:52wear it yourself.
00:43:55These jewels, these
00:43:57clothes, she hasn't
00:43:59even touched them.
00:44:00Every single thing
00:44:01she left here is a
00:44:01slap in my face.
00:44:03She's telling me she
00:44:04never valued anything
00:44:06I gave her.
00:44:15Ava, what gives you
00:44:17the right to draw a line
00:44:18with me?
00:44:19Are you trying to tell
00:44:20me you've won with
00:44:21all this garbage?
00:44:27Mobilize all our
00:44:28contacts, both legal
00:44:29and underworld.
00:44:30Seal off every exit
00:44:32port in New York.
00:44:33Track that woman down
00:44:34no matter where she's
00:44:35hiding.
00:44:36She doesn't even have
00:44:37the right to die
00:44:38without my permission.
00:44:41How dare she
00:44:42disappear?
00:44:44I'll make her
00:44:45regret ever being
00:44:46born.
00:44:51Ava, what gives you
00:44:53the right to draw a
00:44:54line with me?
00:44:55Are you trying to
00:44:56tell me you've won
00:44:56with all this garbage?
00:45:03Ava, even though
00:45:04you've been driven
00:45:05out of New York,
00:45:06Logan's heart is still
00:45:07completely filled with
00:45:08you.
00:45:09No, you're just
00:45:10my replacement.
00:45:12Logan can only
00:45:13be my prey.
00:45:17I'm going to let
00:45:18the whole world
00:45:19know who the
00:45:20future master
00:45:20of the Vanderbilt
00:45:21family is.
00:45:23Ava, you'll
00:45:24forever be stuck
00:45:24in the gutter.
00:45:35Have you found
00:45:35her?
00:45:36Chairman, we've
00:45:37searched all the
00:45:37private clinics and
00:45:38apartments in
00:45:39Manhattan and
00:45:39Queens.
00:45:40There's absolutely
00:45:41no trace of
00:45:41Miss Ava.
00:45:45Damn it!
00:45:46Ava, where the
00:45:47hell are you
00:45:48hiding?
00:45:52Damn it!
00:45:53Ava, where the
00:45:54hell are you
00:45:54hiding?
00:45:55Where exactly are
00:45:56you planning to go?
00:45:57To a place where
00:45:58there's no more you
00:45:59and Elena.
00:45:59She paid off all
00:46:00her debts just to
00:46:01escape me completely.
00:46:03Ava, who gave you
00:46:04the nerve to vanish
00:46:04the nerve to vanish
00:46:05from my world.
00:46:08Buddy, you're
00:46:09way too low-key.
00:46:10You're about to
00:46:11get married and you
00:46:12didn't even invite us
00:46:13for a drink?
00:46:14Elena's the one
00:46:14with scents.
00:46:15The photos she
00:46:15posted have set all
00:46:16of Wall Street on
00:46:17fire.
00:46:18What wedding?
00:46:19What the hell are
00:46:19you talking about?
00:46:20Stop pretending.
00:46:21Check your social
00:46:21media feed.
00:46:22You guys are really
00:46:23going all out.
00:46:24Was that right after
00:46:25you got out of bed?
00:46:33Darling, why are
00:46:34you here so early?
00:46:35Did you miss me?
00:46:39Delete that
00:46:39disgusting post right
00:46:41now, Elena.
00:46:41I brought you back
00:46:42to play the part of
00:46:43the perfect white
00:46:44moonlight, not to
00:46:45scheme here.
00:46:48Elena, when did
00:46:49you become so
00:46:50scheming?
00:46:50Logan, I'm your
00:46:52fiance.
00:46:53Is posting an
00:46:53intimate photo of
00:46:54you some kind of
00:46:55capital crime?
00:46:56Phone.
00:46:57Unlock it.
00:46:59If you want our
00:46:59relationship to end
00:47:00right here, you can
00:47:01keep holding on to
00:47:02it.
00:47:11From now on, you
00:47:12are not to post
00:47:12anything about my
00:47:13private life without
00:47:14permission.
00:47:15Elena, trying to
00:47:16force marriage with
00:47:16such a low-level
00:47:17technique is too
00:47:17childish.
00:47:18This is the first
00:47:19and last time.
00:47:20If it were Ava, she
00:47:21would never do
00:47:21something so stupid.
00:47:22She always knows
00:47:23where the line is.
00:47:24Logan, I did this
00:47:26because I love you
00:47:27too much.
00:47:28I'm scared every
00:47:29day.
00:47:30Scared you'll get
00:47:31tired of me.
00:47:32Scared you'll realize
00:47:33I'm not as capable
00:47:34as Ava.
00:47:35What I fear most is
00:47:36that Ava will come
00:47:37back and take you
00:47:38away from me.
00:47:42Please, don't do this.
00:47:44Logan, please don't go.
00:47:46I'll be good.
00:47:47I'll become the person
00:47:48you want me to be.
00:47:49I'm just so afraid of
00:47:51losing you.
00:47:52Afraid of losing?
00:47:53I admit I made the
00:47:55stupidest decision, but
00:47:56you're the only one in
00:47:57my heart.
00:47:58I really care about you
00:48:00too much.
00:48:02I didn't, Mr. Logan.
00:48:03Don't worry.
00:48:04I'll find one soon.
00:48:05Don't lie.
00:48:06Elena is starting
00:48:07to suspect us.
00:48:08I won't allow you to
00:48:09tarnish the pure love
00:48:11between her and me.
00:48:12I shared a bed with
00:48:13Ava for five whole years.
00:48:14I honestly thought she
00:48:15would have some shred
00:48:15of attachment.
00:48:16But now, she managed
00:48:17to vanish into thin air
00:48:18without a second thought.
00:48:19Turns out, the one
00:48:20who truly cares
00:48:21never leaves.
00:48:22And the one who
00:48:23never really cared
00:48:24about me walks away
00:48:25with zero regrets.
00:48:26Ava, you win.
00:48:35Due to quality issues,
00:48:37the foundation has
00:48:38collapsed.
00:48:38The other party has
00:48:39officially filed a
00:48:40lawsuit with a federal
00:48:41court demanding that we
00:48:42pay one billion U.S.
00:48:43dollars.
00:48:45What did you say?
00:48:49Darling, look at this.
00:48:51I'm going to replace all
00:48:52those outdated suppliers
00:48:53Ava left behind.
00:48:57Why change them?
00:48:59Those companies have
00:48:59worked with us for 10
00:49:00years without a single
00:49:01mistake.
00:49:03Because they're too
00:49:03expensive.
00:49:05The batch I found is
00:49:06half the price.
00:49:07That woman, I treated
00:49:08her so well.
00:49:09And she betrayed me?
00:49:11You're the reliable
00:49:12one.
00:49:12Diwari, it's backed
00:49:14by a top-tier lab.
00:49:15Absolutely proof.
00:49:19This is a third-party
00:49:20men's yet report.
00:49:21This patch of gong is
00:49:23nothing but inferior
00:49:23recycled scrap, not even
00:49:25meeting half of the
00:49:26minimum safety standards.
00:49:28Vanderbilt Group is not
00:49:29only macing bankruptcy,
00:49:30we'll have to bear
00:49:31criminal sciability.
00:49:33Can you tell me what's
00:49:34going on?
00:49:35Didn't you say it was
00:49:36backed by a top-tier
00:49:37lab?
00:49:41I was deceived by the
00:49:43middle man.
00:49:44I didn't know.
00:49:51Elena, you're fired.
00:49:52Get out of here with your
00:49:53disgusting lies right now.
00:49:55I never want to lay eyes
00:49:56on you again.
00:49:57Logan?
00:49:59For that bitch?
00:50:01You actually hit me?
00:50:04You're firing me over this
00:50:05little money?
00:50:06Get out.
00:50:07Drag this trash out of here.
00:50:12Chairman, if we can't
00:50:13come up with a solution
00:50:14before the market opens
00:50:15tomorrow, Vanderbilt's
00:50:16stock will be wiped out
00:50:17instantly.
00:50:18We're going bankrupt.
00:50:19Bankrupt?
00:50:21Vanderbilt's century-old
00:50:22legacy is going to be
00:50:23destroyed by me?
00:50:24If Ava were here, none of
00:50:26this would have happened.
00:50:27It's all my fault.
00:50:29How could I have been so
00:50:30blind to let a fool like
00:50:31Elena take the vice
00:50:32president's position?
00:50:33Chairman, I just received a
00:50:35tip.
00:50:36Miss Ava is now at
00:50:37Liberty Financial.
00:50:39What?
00:50:40How dare she go to that
00:50:41small-time company to
00:50:43become my competitor?
00:50:44Who gave her the audacity
00:50:46to betray me like this?
00:50:47Since you're not dead, you
00:50:49must come back and save my
00:50:50empire.
00:50:55Ava, I know your ambitions
00:50:56go far beyond this now.
00:50:57If we secure this deal,
00:50:59Liberty Financial would
00:51:00tear open a crack in the
00:51:01core North American market
00:51:02and soar to new heights.
00:51:03Chairman, I heard that for
00:51:04this Wansang International
00:51:06bid, the company would
00:51:07competitors are all
00:51:08established Wall Street
00:51:09financial giants and
00:51:10top-tier multinational
00:51:11corporations.
00:51:12She definitely can.
00:51:14In my dictionary, Ava is
00:51:16synonymous with miracle.
00:51:18You've never let me down
00:51:19before.
00:51:20This time will be your
00:51:21coronation once again.
00:51:24Ava is back!
00:51:35Liam, I'm sorry.
00:51:36It's okay.
00:51:38Even if we didn't sign this
00:51:39deal, it doesn't matter.
00:51:41As long as you come back
00:51:42safely, we have countless
00:51:43more opportunities.
00:51:48I said I'm sorry because
00:51:49starting tomorrow, everyone
00:51:50might have to work overtime for
00:51:51a whole month, the contract.
00:51:53I got it.
00:51:59Sorry, I was just too excited.
00:52:01Oh my God!
00:52:02Signing with Wansang
00:52:03International means our
00:52:03company's valuation will
00:52:05double tonight.
00:52:05It's a miracle!
00:52:06Truly the undisputed queen
00:52:08of negotiation on Wall
00:52:09Street.
00:52:09Don't you shower me with
00:52:11praise.
00:52:12This is the result of the
00:52:13whole team's overnight due
00:52:14diligence.
00:52:15Without your data support,
00:52:16I couldn't have signed a
00:52:17single word.
00:52:20Ava, I finally found you,
00:52:22you despicable traitor.
00:52:24Get over here right now.
00:52:28Ava, get over here right
00:52:30now.
00:52:31Chairman Logan, aren't you
00:52:33busy planning that
00:52:33multi-billion dollar wedding
00:52:35of the century for Elena?
00:52:36What brings you to a small
00:52:38company like mine to throw a
00:52:39tantrum?
00:52:40Who gave you permission to
00:52:41change your phone number?
00:52:42Did I ever allow you to
00:52:44disappear from my site?
00:52:45And did you get my
00:52:46permission to work for this
00:52:47rival company?
00:52:48Chairman Logan, it seems
00:52:49your memory is failing you.
00:52:50I've already resigned from
00:52:52your company.
00:52:52Where I go, even if it's to
00:52:54work on Mars, has nothing to
00:52:55with you.
00:52:56Not even half a quent.
00:52:57Ava, I'm giving you one
00:52:58last chance.
00:52:59Get back to my company with
00:53:00me, now.
00:53:01Several major overseas
00:53:03short-sheeters are frankly
00:53:03attacking our stock price
00:53:04right now.
00:53:05You're the only one who can
00:53:06handle this mess.
00:53:08Sorry, but I'm now an
00:53:09executive partner at
00:53:10Liberty Financial.
00:53:11I have no obligation to
00:53:12help you patch up that
00:53:13dilapidated sinking vote
00:53:14anymore.
00:53:15Besides, don't you have
00:53:16your gun goddess Elena?
00:53:17Let her use her innocent
00:53:18face to get you through
00:53:19this crisis.
00:53:20Have you forgotten who
00:53:21helped you in the first
00:53:21place?
00:53:22If it weren't for me,
00:53:23you'd still be in the
00:53:23slums.
00:53:24It was me who put you in
00:53:25a top-tier Vela, who
00:53:26brought you into the
00:53:27global financial circle.
00:53:28Listen, if you come with
00:53:29me now and help me solve
00:53:30this crisis, I can forgive
00:53:32your previous insolence and
00:53:34even reinstate you as
00:53:35vice president.
00:53:38Logan, I have no interest
00:53:39in that position anymore.
00:53:40I spent five years by your
00:53:41side as a substitute,
00:53:42handling countless shady
00:53:43bad debts for you,
00:53:44and even took a bullet
00:53:45for Elena.
00:53:46The debts I owed have
00:53:47long been paid off.
00:53:48We are even now.
00:53:49Paid off?
00:53:50You can never repay what
00:53:51you owe me in this
00:53:51lifetime.
00:53:52Ava, as long as I haven't
00:53:53grown tired of you, you
00:53:54will always be my
00:53:55accessory.
00:53:56Come with me.
00:53:57Chairman Logan, this is a
00:53:58Liberty Finance, not your
00:53:59backyard garden.
00:54:00Let her go.
00:54:01Who do you think you are,
00:54:02daring to cause problem at
00:54:03Liberty Finance and lay
00:54:05hands on our partner?
00:54:06I recognize him now.
00:54:07Hear this, the Vanderbilt
00:54:08T-twin famous dorned on
00:54:09Logan.
00:54:10I heard he plants a
00:54:11ginsess by Neneas fuel
00:54:13social Elena from in a
00:54:14golf, causing core projects
00:54:16to blow up one after other.
00:54:17Now Vanderbilt has
00:54:18decayed on the load on
00:54:19Wall Street and on the
00:54:20verge of puncture.
00:54:21I heard Miss Ava poured
00:54:22her heart and soul into
00:54:23their company for five years,
00:54:24and he actually kicked her
00:54:25out for a pretty face.
00:54:26Now that the company is in
00:54:27ruins, he remembers to come
00:54:28begging for our Miss Ava.
00:54:29Pure karma.
00:54:30He didn't recognize Ava's
00:54:31financial genius back then
00:54:32and now that he's going
00:54:33bankrupt, he thinks he can
00:54:34come crawling back?
00:54:35Dream on.
00:54:38Shut up.
00:54:39What do you bottom-feeding
00:54:40insects know?
00:54:41I'm Ava's benefactor.
00:54:43I was the one who pulled
00:54:44her out of the mud.
00:54:45Ava, you owe me a debt you
00:54:46can never repay in this
00:54:47lifetime.
00:54:48This is between us.
00:54:49Outsiders have no right to
00:54:50interfere.
00:54:51Come back with me to settle
00:54:52this debt.
00:54:52Logan, I'm telling you
00:54:54for the last time,
00:54:55there's no way I'm going
00:54:56back with you.
00:54:57From the second I walked
00:54:58out of that villa,
00:54:59that absurd five years
00:55:00between us was already
00:55:01completely dead.
00:55:02Ava, how dare you speak
00:55:04to me in that tone?
00:55:05Who gave you the nerve
00:55:06to defy me?
00:55:16You, how dare you hit me?
00:55:21Logan, it's true that you helped
00:55:23A financially in the beginning,
00:55:24and that was a kindness.
00:55:26But that doesn't mean she sold
00:55:27herself to you for life.
00:55:28This slap is payback for the
00:55:30humiliation and games you put
00:55:31her through over these five
00:55:32years.
00:55:33As long as I'm here, you don't
00:55:35have the right to lay a fend on
00:55:36her ever again.
00:55:38This slap is to reclaim the
00:55:41dignity Ava lost over these
00:55:42five years.
00:55:45Liam, you...
00:55:46Ava, today is a day for
00:55:48celebration.
00:55:49There's no need to these
00:55:50pasts that easing buried in
00:55:51the grave infect your mead.
00:55:53As the company's greatest
00:55:54contributor, I wonder if I
00:55:55have the honor of inviting
00:55:57you to dinner tonight.
00:55:58Wow, is Chairman Liam going
00:55:59to confess publicly?
00:56:01I heard Liam has had a crush
00:56:02on Miss Ava since their
00:56:03Yale University days.
00:56:04That look in his eyes is
00:56:05impossible to hide.
00:56:07The heir of a top-tar family
00:56:08dynasty paired with the
00:56:09Queen of Finance?
00:56:10Now that's a true power
00:56:11couple.
00:56:12Ava, I've reserved a table
00:56:14at the top-reloving
00:56:15restaurant tonight.
00:56:16Come with me.
00:56:19Ava, since when have you
00:56:20had the guts to refuse my
00:56:22invitation?
00:56:23I'm sorry, Liam.
00:56:24I can't have dinner with
00:56:25you.
00:56:26Why?
00:56:27I knew it.
00:56:29This woman was my shadow
00:56:30for five years.
00:56:31That ingrained sense of
00:56:33inferiority can't be changed.
00:56:35She simply doesn't dare to
00:56:36defy me.
00:56:39Because I promised to treat
00:56:40the entire company
00:56:41to a celebration party
00:56:43this afternoon.
00:56:44What?
00:56:46You'd rather spend time
00:56:47with these knollers
00:56:48than with me?
00:56:49Don't worry, Ava.
00:56:50I've already arranged
00:56:51the hotel suite and
00:56:52champagne for the staff.
00:56:54As for you,
00:56:54you're the brightest star
00:56:56tonight, and I must
00:56:57personally celebrate
00:56:57your success.
00:56:59All right, let's go then.
00:57:01Ava, I'm standing
00:57:03right in front of you,
00:57:04and you dare to go on a
00:57:05date with another man
00:57:06right in front of me?
00:57:06Do you even see me
00:57:08as your fiancƩ anymore?
00:57:09Logan, let me correct
00:57:10you on two points.
00:57:11First, your fiancƩ
00:57:12is named Elena,
00:57:13and I'm just your
00:57:14former executive.
00:57:15Second, I've settled
00:57:16all our old debts.
00:57:17There's nothing
00:57:18between us anymore.
00:57:19Ava, take one step
00:57:21and see what happens.
00:57:25Hey, this outdated chairman,
00:57:27you can't go over there.
00:57:28Our Ava is busy on a
00:57:29date with her true love.
00:57:30What you trying to do?
00:57:32Wanna be a thousand
00:57:32watt light bulb?
00:57:40Ava, it prumens
00:57:41what the Pendwen
00:57:42has never be wrong.
00:57:43Since you took over,
00:57:44we've successfully acquired
00:57:46three core projects
00:57:47in a row.
00:57:48With this glass of
00:57:49top screed Ace of Spain's,
00:57:51I toast to the soul
00:57:53of our Liberty Financial.
00:57:55Liam, you're too kind.
00:57:57Without everyone's
00:57:58round-the-clock cooperation,
00:57:59I alone couldn't have
00:58:01pulled off an operation
00:58:02of this scale.
00:58:03Ava, to be honest,
00:58:04before you joined us,
00:58:05we were just burning
00:58:06through investors' money
00:58:07every day,
00:58:07almost hitting rock bottom.
00:58:09Yeah, if Ava hadn't joined
00:58:10and led us to this
00:58:11turnaround victory,
00:58:12this dinner tonight
00:58:13would probably be
00:58:13our farewell party.
00:58:14Don't talk nonsense.
00:58:15With Ava,
00:58:16our blueprint has just begun.
00:58:18To the future queen
00:58:19of Wall Street,
00:58:20bottoms up.
00:58:22Ava, haven't you noticed?
00:58:24You and our chairman,
00:58:25Liam, standing together
00:58:26are practically
00:58:27the textbook example
00:58:28of a top-tier
00:58:29Chibon couple.
00:58:30Exactly.
00:58:31Ever since Ava joined,
00:58:32I've never seen
00:58:33Chairman Liam sober.
00:58:34His eyes are always
00:58:35full of pink bubbles.
00:58:36Can't all this premium
00:58:37steak shut you up?
00:58:39We agreed tonight,
00:58:40no one leaves
00:58:42until we're drunk,
00:58:43and whoever leaves
00:58:43first pays the bill.
00:58:50Oh, Ava,
00:58:51I can't go on.
00:58:52I'm seeing double.
00:58:55Chairman Liam
00:58:55is in your capable hands now.
00:58:57Right, right.
00:58:57My mom told me
00:58:58to go home
00:58:58for a late-night snack.
00:58:59If I'm late,
00:59:00she'll confiscate
00:59:01my credit card.
00:59:02The sacred mission
00:59:02of Escortijon
00:59:03falls to you!
00:59:05Hey,
00:59:06you bunch of traitors.
00:59:18Take it easy.
00:59:20You really should
00:59:21lose some weight,
00:59:22big guy.
00:59:36This is...
00:59:37a photo of me
00:59:38from my university days?
00:59:42Damn it.
00:59:43I forgot to hide
00:59:43this incriminative evidence.
00:59:53Weren't you so drunk
00:59:54you could barely walk?
00:59:55I was a bit dizzy
00:59:57just now,
00:59:57but seeing this photo,
00:59:59I suddenly sobered up.
01:00:02How do you have
01:00:03a photo of me
01:00:03from my junior year?
01:00:05Back then,
01:00:05you were the star
01:00:06of the Yale football team
01:00:07and I was just
01:00:08a part-time working student
01:00:09practically invisible.
01:00:11Because long before
01:00:12that football game,
01:00:13I had already
01:00:13been watching you.
01:00:20Too expensive.
01:00:22That's enough
01:00:22for two months
01:00:22of my living expenses.
01:00:26I knew your family
01:00:28had gone bankrupt
01:00:28and you were burdened
01:00:29with huge student loans.
01:00:31You could only save
01:00:32every penny
01:00:32to buy those obscure
01:00:33professional books.
01:00:47Back then,
01:00:48you only had eyes
01:00:49for Logan,
01:00:50the one
01:00:50who took you
01:00:51out of the slums.
01:00:53I was afraid
01:00:53of disturbing
01:00:54your happiness,
01:00:55so I could only
01:00:56hide my identity
01:00:57and silently help you
01:00:58in this clumsy way.
01:01:00After graduating
01:01:01from university,
01:01:02I knew you went
01:01:03to Logan's company
01:01:04out of gratitude.
01:01:05I watched you
01:01:05choose a path
01:01:06you didn't like,
01:01:07watched you step back
01:01:08for his ambitions
01:01:09and grow into the top elite
01:01:11step by step.
01:01:12No one knows
01:01:13how much you sacrificed,
01:01:14but I do.
01:01:16I know your heart
01:01:17was just broken
01:01:17by Logan.
01:01:18Five years of youth
01:01:19traded for betrayal.
01:01:24I know you can't
01:01:25fall in love
01:01:26with someone else
01:01:26right away,
01:01:27but I'm willing
01:01:27to wait.
01:01:30As long as you
01:01:31can walk out
01:01:31of that darkness,
01:01:33even if you treat me
01:01:34as Tiet for Logan,
01:01:35I'm willing.
01:01:36Liam,
01:01:38I'm sorry,
01:01:39I can't agree to that.
01:01:53Liam,
01:01:54I'm sorry,
01:01:54I can't agree
01:01:55to your proposal
01:01:55just now.
01:01:58I was too impatient,
01:01:59Ava.
01:02:00If you feel pressured,
01:02:01we can just be
01:02:02business partners.
01:02:03Long as I can be
01:02:04by your side,
01:02:05I'm willing to do
01:02:05anything.
01:02:07I mean this shit.
01:02:08I don't need you
01:02:09to be anyone
01:02:10T-tight.
01:02:11Liam,
01:02:11you are you,
01:02:12the one and only
01:02:13bright spot in my life.
01:02:15I'm no longer
01:02:16that humble Steeter.
01:02:18Start a day,
01:02:19we'll bunita forget
01:02:19someone to
01:02:20Kaishin Ushan.
01:02:22So,
01:02:23does that mean we...
01:02:26Of course.
01:02:28I've always known
01:02:29it was you
01:02:29who silently helped me,
01:02:31but at that age
01:02:32when I couldn't even
01:02:33hold on to my dignity,
01:02:34I couldn't give you
01:02:35any response,
01:02:36not until I walked
01:02:38into Liberty Financial.
01:02:40When met that war,
01:02:41those eyes were
01:02:42full of me once again.
01:02:49I heard that you
01:02:50were at the
01:02:51Vanderbilt Group.
01:02:52You were known
01:02:52as Drink Thousand
01:02:53Bait One.
01:02:55Thank you,
01:02:55and the bomb
01:02:56Logan would cover
01:02:56that bet
01:02:57you dollar in a
01:02:57swinch,
01:02:58you down your
01:02:58health bot shots.
01:03:01If you drink
01:03:01these eight glasses
01:03:02today,
01:03:03this deal goes
01:03:03to Liberty Financial.
01:03:05Yeah,
01:03:05let us witness
01:03:06the drinking capacity
01:03:07of this financial queen.
01:03:10Black,
01:03:11if my partner
01:03:12needs to trade
01:03:13her life for a contract,
01:03:14then this deal
01:03:15isn't worth it.
01:03:16Ava,
01:03:16let's go.
01:03:22Liam,
01:03:23I'm willing
01:03:23to be your girlfriend.
01:03:24From now on,
01:03:25I will love you,
01:03:26cherish you,
01:03:27and protect you.
01:03:28Let's work hard together
01:03:29to build a real home
01:03:30that belongs to us
01:03:31in this cold city.
01:03:32Ava,
01:03:33you're not just saying
01:03:34that to make me happy?
01:03:35I choose to be with you
01:03:36for no complicated reason.
01:03:38Simply because
01:03:40I've also been
01:03:41hopelessly in love
01:03:42with you
01:03:42for a long time.
01:03:43I'm so happy,
01:03:44Ava.
01:03:45I feel like
01:03:45all the sunlight
01:03:46in the world
01:03:47has brightened
01:03:47at this moment.
01:04:05See you tomorrow,
01:04:06Ava.
01:04:06Have a pleasant evening.
01:04:07See you tomorrow.
01:04:17Where are you going?
01:04:18Get in the car,
01:04:19I'll give you a ride.
01:04:20Logan,
01:04:20who exactly are you
01:04:22performing these
01:04:22childish tricks for?
01:04:24Ava,
01:04:25I didn't handle things
01:04:26properly back then.
01:04:28I shouldn't have let you
01:04:29take the fall
01:04:30for that damn charge
01:04:31to protect Elena's reputation,
01:04:32forcing you to resign
01:04:34and leave the company.
01:04:35The position of vice president
01:04:36at the Vanderbilt Group,
01:04:37I've kept it for you.
01:04:39The room that belongs
01:04:40to you at home,
01:04:41I've had it cleaned.
01:04:42Just say the word
01:04:43and you can come back
01:04:45anytime.
01:04:46We can start over.
01:04:48Logan,
01:04:49I'm curious.
01:04:51Who gave you the confidence
01:04:52to think that I would
01:04:53give up my position
01:04:53as a global partner
01:04:54at Liberty Financial
01:04:55to return to your
01:04:57nearly-brancropped
01:04:57Vanderbilt Group
01:04:58just to be a vice-vectricer
01:05:00you can summon
01:05:01and dismiss at will?
01:05:04What are you talking about?
01:05:08And what makes you think
01:05:09that keeping that dark,
01:05:11damp,
01:05:11uninhabitable servant's room
01:05:13in your house for me
01:05:14is some great favor?
01:05:18Logan,
01:05:19stop wasting your time on me.
01:05:20Your persistence
01:05:21only makes me think
01:05:22less of you.
01:05:25Ava,
01:05:27since you have
01:05:28no feelings for me,
01:05:29I've prepared
01:05:30a better gift for you.
01:05:32I'm sure you'll like it.
01:05:40This is the place.
01:05:42Who exactly is
01:05:43this mysterious investor?
01:05:49Miss Ava, I presume?
01:05:51This way, please.
01:05:51Your table is ready.
01:05:52Is there a proposal
01:05:53happening here today?
01:05:54Something like that.
01:05:55A gentleman is preparing
01:05:57the most romantic
01:05:57surprise for you.
01:05:59Miss Ava,
01:05:59please take a seat first.
01:06:06So it's Ava
01:06:07that Logan wants
01:06:07to confess to.
01:06:08I'll mix that
01:06:09disfigurating potentation
01:06:10into the red wine.
01:06:11Ava,
01:06:12this is what you get
01:06:13for stealing my man.
01:06:14Ava,
01:06:15you've really come
01:06:16to your end.
01:06:22It's you!
01:06:23It's you!
01:06:31So,
01:06:31the mysterious investor
01:06:32who anonymously
01:06:33requested a meeting
01:06:34for cooperation
01:06:35is you.
01:06:35To be precise,
01:06:36it's the who wants
01:06:36to beg on his knees
01:06:37to cooperate.
01:06:38Ava,
01:06:38don't go.
01:06:39Give me five minutes.
01:06:39I said the wrong thing
01:06:40at the summit entrance
01:06:41and that wasn't
01:06:42what I truly meant.
01:06:46Just say yes
01:06:47and you'll be
01:06:47the Vanderbilt Group's
01:06:48sole representative
01:06:49in North America.
01:06:50The $50 million mansion
01:06:51in Manhattan,
01:06:52all the trust funds
01:06:53in my name,
01:06:54they'll all have
01:06:54your signature on them.
01:06:55Let's go back
01:06:56to how we were before.
01:06:57Back to when I only
01:06:58had you, okay?
01:07:00Ever since you left,
01:07:01everything has spiraled
01:07:03out of control for me.
01:07:04Why do those
01:07:05difficult shareholders
01:07:05and partners
01:07:06only recognize you?
01:07:08Ava,
01:07:08where are you?
01:07:10Only now do I realize
01:07:11that all my external
01:07:12success was because of you.
01:07:14It was only after
01:07:15the day you left me
01:07:16that I realized
01:07:17just how important
01:07:17you were to me.
01:07:18Ava,
01:07:19pour me a cup of coffee.
01:07:21I got used to
01:07:22working late nights
01:07:23with the coffee
01:07:23you brought me,
01:07:24used to you
01:07:25handling all my troubles.
01:07:26Without you,
01:07:27my world is just gray.
01:07:32Ava,
01:07:32I really can't live
01:07:33without you.
01:07:34For God's sake,
01:07:35come back to me.
01:07:36Logan,
01:07:37I've been by your side
01:07:37for so long.
01:07:38Have you ever
01:07:39respected me?
01:07:40Have you ever
01:07:41cared about me?
01:07:42I admit,
01:07:43I owe you a debt
01:07:44of gratitude.
01:07:44But these past five years,
01:07:46I've already repaid it.
01:07:47You don't need to put
01:07:48on this act of deep affection
01:07:49for the sake
01:07:50of your pathetic possessiveness.
01:07:51Don't be so distant
01:07:52with me, Ava.
01:07:54Let's start over,
01:07:55like before.
01:07:56Let me spoil you again,
01:07:57okay?
01:07:58Don't you think
01:07:58you look like a child
01:07:59right now?
01:08:00Ava,
01:08:00listen to me.
01:08:01I'm not angry
01:08:01that you left
01:08:02Vanderbilt five years ago,
01:08:03really.
01:08:03I just think
01:08:04those unpleasant things
01:08:05are in the past now.
01:08:06Since it's all
01:08:07in the past,
01:08:08Chairman Logan,
01:08:08there's no need
01:08:09to lower yourself
01:08:10by bringing up
01:08:10old debts.
01:08:11The current distance
01:08:12is good for both of us.
01:08:13I've already humbled myself
01:08:15and apologized to you.
01:08:16Isn't that enough for you?
01:08:17I don't need your apology,
01:08:18and I have no interest
01:08:19playing hard to get with you.
01:08:21You should be more worried
01:08:22about your white moonlight.
01:08:23Won't Elena go crazy
01:08:24if she finds out
01:08:25you came to see me
01:08:26so publicly today?
01:08:27Don't mention her.
01:08:28We've...
01:08:28We've broken up.
01:08:32Ava,
01:08:33you bitch.
01:08:34If it weren't for you
01:08:35setting me up
01:08:35and making me lose
01:08:36my vice president position,
01:08:37if it weren't for you,
01:08:38I would have long secured
01:08:39my place as Mrs. Vanderbilt.
01:08:40Look at what I've been
01:08:41reduced to now.
01:08:42I will make you pay
01:08:43a hundredfold.
01:08:45I've broken up
01:08:46and gotten back together
01:08:47with her countless times
01:08:48this past year,
01:08:48and I finally realized
01:08:49she's not the innocent girl
01:08:50I fell in love with
01:08:51at Yale back then.
01:08:52She's like a lunadeck.
01:08:53Every time I neglect her,
01:08:54she tries everything
01:08:55to hurt herself,
01:08:55even resorting to using
01:08:56her body.
01:08:57Such a cheap way
01:08:58to win me back.
01:08:59I'm really tired.
01:09:00Logan,
01:09:01I have zero interest
01:09:01in the low-level
01:09:02love-hate drama
01:09:03between you two.
01:09:04If you ask me out
01:09:05just to vent
01:09:05these emotional grievance,
01:09:06then I'm afraid
01:09:07I must excuse myself.
01:09:08Ava,
01:09:09stop acting like a child.
01:09:10Since we're both single,
01:09:11why don't we give
01:09:12a proper relationship a try?
01:09:13I only used to see her
01:09:15as a substitute,
01:09:15but if I really make her
01:09:17my official girlfriend,
01:09:18a queen of finance like her,
01:09:20she would be overwhelmed
01:09:21with gravity
01:09:21and accept me.
01:09:23Give me a chance.
01:09:24Be my girlfriend.
01:09:26I'm sorry,
01:09:27Chairman Logan.
01:09:28I have a husband
01:09:29and what he gives me
01:09:30is always the best.
01:09:32What?
01:09:33What did you say?
01:09:37Ava,
01:09:37this is impossible.
01:09:38All of New York
01:09:39knows you used to be
01:09:40madly in love with me.
01:09:41How could you possibly
01:09:42love someone else?
01:09:43This must be your way
01:09:43of getting back at me.
01:09:44The ring is fake?
01:09:45Your marriage is fake,
01:09:46right?
01:09:47Logan,
01:09:48your arrogance
01:09:48is as nauseating as ever.
01:09:51Put it there
01:09:51and get out,
01:09:52Ava.
01:09:53Don't think doing something
01:09:54will earn you my love.
01:09:55You're just a well-behaved
01:09:56bitch I keep,
01:09:57understand?
01:09:59So he always knew.
01:10:00He always knew
01:10:01how much the old Ava
01:10:02loved him,
01:10:02yet he took everything
01:10:03I gave for granted.
01:10:04Just because of that
01:10:05sponsorship back then,
01:10:06he treated me like
01:10:07a lowly slave,
01:10:08summoning and dismissed
01:10:09me at Willie.
01:10:13All right,
01:10:14I know you're still
01:10:14angry with me.
01:10:16Is it because I made
01:10:17you take the blame
01:10:18for Elena's mistake
01:10:18all those years ago?
01:10:20Or because I made you
01:10:21move out of the villa?
01:10:22I'm not angry with you.
01:10:24It's just that all of that
01:10:25is in the past now.
01:10:26Listen,
01:10:26you can drop the act
01:10:27with that so-called
01:10:28contract boyfriend.
01:10:29I've completely broken
01:10:30things off with Elena.
01:10:31My patience is limited,
01:10:32Ava.
01:10:33Stop making a scene.
01:10:34I can give you
01:10:34a proper title.
01:10:35We can officially
01:10:36be boyfriend and girlfriend.
01:10:37Breaking up?
01:10:39Logan?
01:10:39You want to dump me
01:10:40for this bitch?
01:10:42If I can't have you,
01:10:43no one will.
01:10:45Logan,
01:10:45take back your cheap charity.
01:10:48I've already told you,
01:10:49I have a husband,
01:10:50and he's 10,000 times
01:10:52better than you.
01:10:53There will never be a place
01:10:55for you in my world again.
01:10:56Tomorrow,
01:10:57I'm leaving New York
01:10:58for Los Angeles.
01:11:00We won't be seeing
01:11:01each other again.
01:11:02Leaving?
01:11:03You can't possibly
01:11:05refuse me.
01:11:06I know it.
01:11:07You must have found
01:11:08another so-called
01:11:09boyfriend to trick me
01:11:10again,
01:11:11just like before.
01:11:24It's you?
01:11:25Ava!
01:11:26You're still trying
01:11:27to seduce my husband?
01:11:28You vicious woman,
01:11:30won't you be satisfied
01:11:30until you've driven
01:11:31me to my death?
01:11:33Me seducing your husband?
01:11:36What a joke.
01:11:37Everyone,
01:11:37come and look at this bitch.
01:11:38She used to cling
01:11:39to me and my husband
01:11:40like a stubborn piece
01:11:41of gum that wouldn't
01:11:42come off.
01:11:43Later,
01:11:43to climb the ladder,
01:11:44she shamelessly became
01:11:45Logan's secret mistress
01:11:46for five years,
01:11:47stubbornly staying
01:11:48in the villa
01:11:49and refusing to leave
01:11:50no matter what.
01:11:51Now Logan and I
01:11:51are about to get married,
01:11:52and she actually
01:11:53comes back to harass us
01:11:55like a persistent
01:11:55low-class woman.
01:11:57Do you have any shame left?
01:11:59She looks so well-dressed,
01:12:01actually professional
01:12:02homewrecker.
01:12:03You really see
01:12:04all kinds of people
01:12:05these days.
01:12:06Women who get ahead
01:12:07through improper means
01:12:08have hearts
01:12:08as black as can be.
01:12:10You all be the judge.
01:12:12It's this woman
01:12:13who stole my
01:12:15vice president position
01:12:16and took everything
01:12:17from me.
01:12:18Now that I'm down and out,
01:12:19she comes back
01:12:20flaunting her designer clothes?
01:12:22Ava,
01:12:22why don't you just die,
01:12:23you evil woman?
01:12:25Let him go.
01:12:38You,
01:12:39you bitch,
01:12:40how dare you hit me?
01:12:41Since you love
01:12:42smearing me with dirt so much,
01:12:44this slap is what you deserve.
01:12:46Say one more word,
01:12:47and I'll make you
01:12:48suffer a terrible death.
01:12:52Elena,
01:12:53I don't care what kind
01:12:54of dirty entanglement
01:12:55you still have with Logan.
01:12:57That's your business.
01:12:58Stay away from me
01:12:59from now on.
01:13:01Ava,
01:13:02since you've Aldi
01:13:03rolled out of New York
01:13:04and out of my sight,
01:13:05why do you have to come
01:13:06like a haunting ghost?
01:13:07Elena,
01:13:08don't assume everyone
01:13:09is like you,
01:13:10only capable of
01:13:11clinging to a man.
01:13:12Stop pretending.
01:13:13You came back
01:13:14because you still love Logan
01:13:15and can't let go
01:13:15of his power and influence,
01:13:17right?
01:13:17So now you want to come
01:13:18and humbly be
01:13:19his secret mistress again,
01:13:20just like before,
01:13:21don't you?
01:13:21I won't accept
01:13:22a single word
01:13:23of your slander.
01:13:24I'm here for work.
01:13:25I have my own family
01:13:26and life.
01:13:27As for you,
01:13:28Elena,
01:13:28that pure,
01:13:29selfless,
01:13:30and above-worldy
01:13:31desires white moonlight
01:13:31persona you've
01:13:32meticulously built
01:13:33it for five years
01:13:34has completely crumbled
01:13:35to dust in front of Logan.
01:13:37Since you messed it up
01:13:38yourself,
01:13:39you should figure out
01:13:41a way to beg
01:13:41for his forgiveness
01:13:42yourself.
01:13:44Why come to take it out
01:13:45on an innocent me?
01:13:47I have no obligation
01:13:48to help a woman like you
01:13:49keep a man
01:13:50who's changed his heart.
01:13:53You bitch!
01:13:54Shut up!
01:14:03Logan,
01:14:04why are you so cold to me?
01:14:06You won't even answer
01:14:07my calls?
01:14:08Is it all because
01:14:09of this woman?
01:14:10It's Ava who ruined
01:14:11the future we were
01:14:12supposed to have,
01:14:12isn't it?
01:14:13Elena,
01:14:14wake up.
01:14:15Ava never clung to me.
01:14:16She even finds the thought
01:14:17of seeing me repulsive.
01:14:19Everyone listen up.
01:14:20Elena and I
01:14:21are completely over.
01:14:22So they broke up
01:14:23a long time ago?
01:14:24Then what's this woman
01:14:25doing here
01:14:26pretending to be
01:14:27the rightful white?
01:14:27No.
01:14:29Impossible.
01:14:30Why?
01:14:31Logan,
01:14:31you loved me so much
01:14:32back at Yale.
01:14:33You were even willing
01:14:34to defy your entire
01:14:35family for me.
01:14:36Why don't you love me
01:14:37anymore?
01:14:37Back then,
01:14:38funding you,
01:14:39even putting you
01:14:41in a high position,
01:14:42perhaps is all because
01:14:43I too arrogant.
01:14:45Perhaps what I loved
01:14:46before was just
01:14:47an illusion,
01:14:48a shadow I thought
01:14:49was real.
01:14:51After leaving Ava
01:14:52during countless
01:14:53sleepless nights,
01:14:55I realized that
01:14:56I truly love
01:14:57is actually...
01:15:00Logan,
01:15:01you can't leave?
01:15:02You can't just
01:15:02kick me out like this?
01:15:03Get out of my sight
01:15:04immediately.
01:15:05Otherwise,
01:15:05I won't mind making you
01:15:06disappear from all of
01:15:06New York.
01:15:07Security,
01:15:07drag this crazy woman
01:15:08out.
01:15:09No!
01:15:09Logan!
01:15:10Ava,
01:15:10you bitch!
01:15:10I won't let you
01:15:11get away with this!
01:15:12I am the only one
01:15:13fit to be Mrs. Vanderbilt!
01:15:14Ava,
01:15:16I'm sorry.
01:15:17Logan,
01:15:18we're even now.
01:15:18There's no one
01:15:19who owes anyone
01:15:20an apology.
01:15:21No, Ava.
01:15:22I want to tell you,
01:15:23I love you.
01:15:25It wasn't until
01:15:26you disappeared
01:15:26from my sight
01:15:27that I realized
01:15:28you're the one
01:15:28I love most
01:15:29in this life.
01:15:30Really?
01:15:31Back then,
01:15:32you liked Elena.
01:15:33You always took
01:15:34my efforts for granted,
01:15:35treated me like
01:15:36your slave.
01:15:36It's only now,
01:15:37after you've been
01:15:38together and grown
01:15:39tired of her
01:15:39despicable tricks,
01:15:40that you remember
01:15:41my good points.
01:15:42That's not true.
01:15:43Ava,
01:15:43it wasn't until
01:15:44I officially dated her
01:15:45that I realized
01:15:45how good you are.
01:15:47I started thinking
01:15:48about you like crazy,
01:15:49remembering every
01:15:50late night you
01:15:50stayed up with me,
01:15:51remembering that
01:15:52only you understood
01:15:53my ambitions.
01:15:53I couldn't see
01:15:54my own heart
01:15:55clearly before.
01:15:56It wasn't until
01:15:56I lost you
01:15:57that I understood
01:15:58the one I drooly
01:15:58love is you.
01:15:59Ava,
01:16:00let's start over.
01:16:01Give us a real try,
01:16:02okay?
01:16:03Logan,
01:16:04I'm telling you
01:16:04for the last time,
01:16:05I'm already married.
01:16:09Married?
01:16:10Ava,
01:16:10you must be lying to me.
01:16:12Just like when you
01:16:13found a fake boyfriend
01:16:13in college to make
01:16:14me jealous, right?
01:16:15You must still
01:16:16have feelings for me.
01:16:17Otherwise,
01:16:18why would you go
01:16:18through all this trouble
01:16:19to make up such
01:16:20an absurd lie
01:16:20to deceive me?
01:16:23Logan,
01:16:24if you lay another
01:16:24hand on my wife,
01:16:26don't blame me
01:16:26for being polite.
01:16:27Let me introduce you.
01:16:28This is my husband,
01:16:30Liam,
01:16:30the global chairman
01:16:31of Liberty Financial.
01:16:33Husband,
01:16:34Liam,
01:16:36this can't be.
01:16:37How could this happen?
01:16:39Honey,
01:16:39this is Mr. Logan,
01:16:40the benefactor I mentioned
01:16:41before who supported
01:16:42me at Yale University
01:16:43and also my former friend.
01:16:45Mr. Logan,
01:16:46I've heard so much
01:16:47about you.
01:16:47My wife mentions
01:16:48you often.
01:16:52Enough!
01:16:53Ava,
01:16:54you're quite the actress.
01:16:55To make me give up
01:16:56completely,
01:16:57you even hired
01:16:57a stand-in,
01:16:58didn't you?
01:16:59Stop lying to me!
01:17:00You can only marry me!
01:17:02How could you marry
01:17:02someone else?
01:17:03Logan,
01:17:04I really want to thank you
01:17:05for your past support
01:17:05of Ava.
01:17:07Without your generosity
01:17:08back then,
01:17:08I wouldn't have had the chance
01:17:09to meet such a perfect wife.
01:17:11If the Vanderbilt group
01:17:12ever needs anything
01:17:13from me in the future,
01:17:14I'll be your service
01:17:15as a way for my wife
01:17:17to repay your kindness.
01:17:18Logan,
01:17:19although I'm grateful
01:17:20for your support,
01:17:21it's really getting late.
01:17:22We have to catch
01:17:22our private jet
01:17:23back to Harbor City tomorrow,
01:17:24so we won't keep you
01:17:25any longer.
01:17:27Honey,
01:17:27let's go.
01:17:29Ava,
01:17:30are you really
01:17:31leaving tomorrow?
01:17:33Are you really
01:17:33going to leave
01:17:34my world completely?
01:17:35Yes.
01:17:36Goodbye, Mr. Logan.
01:17:37Bye-bye.
01:17:39Bye-bye.
01:18:10Honey, it's so early.
01:18:13Where are you going?
01:18:14Did I wake you?
01:18:17Be good, I'm going to get you breakfast.
01:18:22So diligent.
01:18:24Didn't you keep saying yesterday how much you liked the burgers here?
01:18:28Today's our last day here.
01:18:29I can't let you go back to Los Angeles with regrets, right?
01:18:34Thank you, honey.
01:18:36Come back soon.
01:18:41Honey, I'll personally take care of ending your troubles for you.
01:18:52So, what do you want to see me about?
01:18:5930 million dollars.
01:19:02Take this money and leave Ava for good.
01:19:04A woman at the pinnacle of finance like her is not someone an ordinary man like you, who relies on
01:19:09his looks, can aspire to.
01:19:11This money is enough for you to squagger for the rest of your life.
01:19:14Name your price, and stay away from her.
01:19:20You're telling me to leave, Ava.
01:19:25What, not enough?
01:19:27Liam, don't play the top-tier tycoon in front of me.
01:19:30I've looked into you.
01:19:31Back at Yale University, you were just a poor student, barely scraping by on scholarships and part-time works.
01:19:38That ingrained poverty-straken air about you, you can't wash it off no matter how many suits you change into.
01:19:48For someone like you, who's already bankrupt and can't even afford the liquidation bills,
01:19:53these 30 million dollars are indeed enough for you to live like a nouveau riche in the slums for the
01:19:58rest of your life.
01:20:00You still only know how to measure everything with this filthy money.
01:20:04Ava choosing you is truly blind.
01:20:11Talking to me about money?
01:20:13Logan, back then you treated Ava as a substitute for Elena,
01:20:17summoning her at will and dismissing her just as easily.
01:20:20With those pitiful so-called funding resources and a few charity black cards,
01:20:25you actually thought you could buy out her entire five years of use and dignity.
01:20:30The moment you pushed her out to take the fall for that woman and left her to fend for herself
01:20:35in the rain,
01:20:36you completely lost the right to stand here and talk about her in that tone with me.
01:20:50What are you doing?
01:20:51Who gave you permission to touch my things?
01:20:54This is the Vanderbilt Group!
01:20:55Mr. Logan, we're finished.
01:20:57Because of those shell company guarantee slips Elena signed,
01:20:59plus the FBI case against her for selling sub-bedroom construction equipment privately,
01:21:02the court declared us officially bankrupt an hour ago.
01:21:05Bankrupt's impossible.
01:21:06When Ava was here, we were still the financial leader of Manhattan.
01:21:08How long has it been?
01:21:09How could we possibly go bankrupt?
01:21:11Get out!
01:21:11Don't touch my assets!
01:21:12This is my empire!
01:21:14Mr. Logan, please keep your distance.
01:21:15The liquidation process has already begun.
01:21:17If you continue to interfere with official duties, we will be forced to take action.
01:21:26I'm such a fool.
01:21:27Ava was clearly the one holding up the empire,
01:21:30and I kicked her out of the company to protect that useless waste, Elena.
01:21:43Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.
01:21:45She is my chosen future wife,
01:21:46and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.
01:22:02If Ava were still here, the company wouldn't have collapsed.
01:22:06I'd still be that arrogant CEO.
01:22:08Now it's all gone.
01:22:10Logan, I have no interest in that position anymore.
01:22:13I spent five years by your side as a substitute,
01:22:15handling countless shady bad debts for you,
01:22:17and even took a bullet for Elena.
01:22:18The debts I owed have long been paid off.
01:22:20We are even now.
01:22:21I always felt that she owed me something,
01:22:22and that all the sacrifices she made were deserved.
01:22:24I was wrong.
01:22:25Ridiculously wrong.
01:22:31Chairman,
01:22:31I personally spent half a month in Silicon Valley
01:22:34to poach this sales genius, Carter.
01:22:37With him on board,
01:22:38no one can touch Vanderbilt's market share in North America.
01:22:42This man's background is indeed clean and formidable.
01:22:47And these offshore projects, I've been tracking them for two years.
01:22:51I've pinzily done all the risk assessments.
01:22:53As long as I'm here, none of your decisions will go wrong.
01:22:57If Ava were still by my side,
01:22:59I'd still be that top heir surrounded by admirers.
01:23:02She would have handled all the trouble.
01:23:07It wasn't until today that I realized
01:23:09the person who loved me most in this world
01:23:11was actually destroyed by my own hands.
01:23:18What is Elena?
01:23:19She's not even one ten thousandth of Ava.
01:23:21I've lost the most precious treasure in the world.
01:23:24No, I can't give up like this.
01:23:25I believe Ava still loves me.
01:23:27I have to find her, win her back.
01:23:30Ava! Don't go! Ava!
01:23:33Young man, you've got some nerve blocking my car.
01:23:35But you are quite a looker.
01:23:37I just got rid of my last boy toy, you know.
01:23:39If you behave, I might just take you under my wing.
01:23:42Get away from me!
01:23:44Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!
01:23:46Get lost!
01:23:47A down-and-out loser putting on airs?
01:23:50You don't know what's good for you.
01:23:58What's wrong?
01:24:00Nothing.
01:24:01I just remembered a really good restaurant.
01:24:03Let me take you there.
01:24:05Sure.
01:24:10You order first.
01:24:12I'm going to the restroom.
01:24:13Okay.
01:24:15Okay.
01:24:29Hello, this is the chairman of Vanderbilt.
01:24:32Who is this?
01:24:33This is Liam, chairman of Liberty Financial.
01:24:36Mr. Liam, what can I do for you with this sudden call?
01:24:39I think you should discipline your son, Logan, properly.
01:24:42Ava is my wife now, my beloved.
01:24:44And your son has been acting like a madman these past few days,
01:24:48severely disrupting our family life,
01:24:50even daring to challenge my bottom line.
01:24:54I understand what you mean.
01:24:56I'll handle it.
01:25:07Hey, Dad.
01:25:08You bastard.
01:25:09Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:25:11Ava is now the wife of Liam,
01:25:13the founder of the global financial giant Liberty Financial,
01:25:16a chairman worth hundreds of billions.
01:25:19What?
01:25:19Listen, if you want to keep your life,
01:25:22get your ass home right now.
01:25:23Otherwise, I'll announce today
01:25:25that I'm stripping you of all your inheritance rights
01:25:27and you're out of the Vanderbilt family for good.
01:25:32What?
01:25:33Liam, is that mysterious mastermind behind Liberty?
01:25:37Impossible.
01:25:38Absolutely impossible.
01:25:39That man who just seemed to buy breakfast
01:25:40and take care of kids for Ava
01:25:42is actually the titan who holds the global financial lifeline
01:25:45worth hundreds of billions?
01:25:46I actually, I actually dared to think I could
01:25:48with a mere $30 million.
01:25:50What the hell have I done?
01:26:06Elena, if that loser Logan knew
01:26:09you were keeping a man in his marital bed,
01:26:11wouldn't he go crazy on the spot?
01:26:14He's busy dealing with the FBI's bankruptcy investigation right now.
01:26:18How could he have the time to care about me?
01:26:20You're really ruthless.
01:26:21You emptied his overseas accounts,
01:26:23brought down his Vanderbilt group,
01:26:24and yet you secured a $50 million escape route for yourself.
01:26:27I do love this foolish man,
01:26:29but I only love his money.
01:26:30Now that he has no more use value,
01:26:32of course I need to find someone younger and more obedient.
01:26:34Elena!
01:26:35What are you doing?
01:26:38Have you no shame?
01:26:40Messing around in my villa,
01:26:42on my bed?
01:26:43You heartless woman!
01:26:45I was truly blind back then
01:26:46to have abandoned Ava for someone like you.
01:26:51Logan.
01:26:52Have you lost your mind?
01:26:54I just brought a friend back to have some fun.
01:26:56Is it worth getting so worked up over?
01:26:58You're my fiancƩ.
01:27:00You're using my money to support other men,
01:27:02and you expect me not to be angry?
01:27:03Stop pretending to be so devoted.
01:27:05Back at Yale, I changed men every day,
01:27:07all funded by the money you gave me.
01:27:09Did you really think I loved you?
01:27:10I loved the Vanderbilt family behind you,
01:27:12the one that could buy me her mess
01:27:13and get me to the Grammy Awards.
01:27:15Logan, this guy's a broke, debt-rended bankrupt up now.
01:27:17There's no need for us to waste words on him.
01:27:19You swindled all my money and ruined the company.
01:27:21I'm going to send you to prison.
01:27:23Black has already helped me transfer the money out.
01:27:25He's my true love now.
01:27:27You're history.
01:27:32I used to fawn over you like a dog
01:27:34because you were supporting me.
01:27:36Now you're not even as good as a stray dog.
01:27:39What do you think you are?
01:27:43I paid for your college.
01:27:45I paid for you to come back and be vice president.
01:27:47For you, Ava left.
01:27:48My company is gone.
01:27:50How could you do this to me?
01:27:51That's because you were willing to be the sucker.
01:27:54Who's to blame for your stupidity?
01:27:56Now you don't have a single penny left.
01:27:58What gives you the right to tell me what to do?
01:28:00Black, let's go.
01:28:01This place reeks of sour failure.
01:28:03Let's find another hotel to continue.
01:28:05You got it.
01:28:07I'll make sure to serve my queen well today.
01:28:09Stop!
01:28:10Give back all the money you swindled from me.
01:28:12Every single cent I ever spent on you.
01:28:15Dream on.
01:28:16That's the compensation you owe me for my youth.
01:28:18Get lost.
01:28:20Ava, I was wrong.
01:28:21It turns out you were the only one in this world
01:28:23who truly cared for me
01:28:24and I lost the woman who loved me most in life.
01:28:26Elena.
01:28:27You ruined me.
01:28:29And I swear I won't let you get away with it.
01:28:43Ava, I just received news from Heicheng.
01:28:46The Vanderbilt Group has been completely liquidated
01:28:48due to the failure of several fatal gambling agreements,
01:28:50plus the major engineering accident
01:28:52caused by the batch of construction equipment
01:28:54Elena was responsible for.
01:28:55Hmm.
01:28:56Aren't you the least bit curious?
01:28:59Without you, the anchor that held everything together,
01:29:01that empire once hailed as unsinkable,
01:29:04has collapsed so quickly.
01:29:05It's not surprising at all.
01:29:07From the moment I walked out of that office,
01:29:10Logan and his company have been nothing
01:29:11but a moldy old debt in my life.
01:29:13If it's trash,
01:29:15it's only a matter of time before it gets cleaned up.
01:29:17There's something even more interesting.
01:29:19Logan, driven by extreme hatred
01:29:21because Elena took his last life string
01:29:23and publicly humiliated him,
01:29:25killed Elena on the streets of Manhattan.
01:29:27He's facing the most severe charges.
01:29:32He has only himself to blame for falling to the state,
01:29:35for loving a poison he shouldn't have.
01:29:37But the people and things in that ruin
01:29:38have nothing to do with me anymore.
01:29:40All I want now is to build our life well.
01:29:42Right.
01:29:45But tonight, we have an important topic to discuss.
01:29:50I haven't heard about any meeting tonight.
01:29:52The topic I'm talking about
01:29:54is how many lively and adorable little babies
01:29:57we're going to have.
01:29:58is how many people and how many people
01:29:58We're going to have a great time.
01:29:58We're going to have a great time.
01:29:58We're going to have a great time.
01:29:58We're going to have a great time.
01:29:58We're going to have a great time.
01:29:59We're going to have a great time.
01:29:59We're going to have a great time.
01:29:59We're going to have a great time.
