00:23To be continued...
00:31Cynthia, it's Chloe's birthday today.
00:33She's craving some home cooking.
00:35Your skills are top-notch.
00:37Get up and make a few dishes.
00:39Let's celebrate for her.
00:41Jason, my stomach is killing me today.
00:43This stomach thing of yours is chronic.
00:45It hurts for a bit, then it passes.
00:47Just tough it out.
00:55Cynthia Sharon, didn't you come out of Military Academy?
00:59You're supposed to be tough as nails.
01:00Now a little stomachache and you're acting like you're on death's door.
01:03Really necessary? Enough with the theatrics.
01:05It's just a few simple dishes downstairs. It won't kill you.
01:09Jason Hill, let go of me!
01:12See? I knew you weren't that fragile.
01:15Now clean yourself up and get downstairs to cook.
01:17Cook? Jason, what exactly is Chloe Lynn to you
01:20that you fuss over her like this for a mere birthday?
01:22The entire time we've been together,
01:23the moment she needs anything,
01:24a single phone call and you drop everything to run to her side.
01:26But now, when my stomach is in agony, you couldn't care less.
01:29Instead, you're forcing me to go downstairs and cook for her celebration?
01:31Haven't I been good to you?
01:32Just because you once said,
01:33the wife of family should be a virtual mother,
01:35I pushed aside my own career and willingly stayed home to cook for you.
01:38I swallowed every hurt,
01:39every time you abandoned me to chase after her,
01:41and what has it gotten me?
01:43I'm lying here bleeding, covered in wounds,
01:45and the only thing you care about is her birthday!
01:48Jason, please don't fight with Cynthia over me.
01:50It's okay if I don't eat.
01:52Just let Cynthia rest.
01:53I'll head home now.
01:54Chloe, don't go.
01:55Your birthday comes but once a year.
01:56She's my fiancé.
01:58Cooking a meal for you is the least she can do.
02:00Cynthia Shannon, you need to learn to be more magnanimous.
02:02If you're going to be this petty over such a small thing,
02:05how can you ever call yourself a virtuous wife and mother?
02:07Jason Hill, since you can justify to me so righteously
02:10and dare to trample my sincerity like this, fine.
02:12From this moment on,
02:14my heart has nothing more to do with you.
02:18I'm sorry.
02:19I'm so sorry, Cynthia.
02:20This is all my fault.
02:22I was being selfish,
02:23insisting on eating your home cooking on my birthday.
02:26Jason was only trying to grant my wish.
02:28Please don't blame him.
02:29Don't fight because of me.
02:31I was so out of line coming here.
02:33Cynthia Shannon, look at how understanding Chloe is.
02:35Even her apology is so sincere.
02:37Not like you always wearing that sour expression as my fiancé.
02:40I, Jason Hill, am not here to marry some haughty princess
02:42who looks down on everyone.
02:43So you do remember that I'm your fiancé after all?
02:46All right, all right, Cynthia.
02:47Let me help you up and get those wounds cleaned.
02:49If any glass shards are left inside,
02:51the infection could get really bad.
02:53Does it hurt?
02:54Good.
02:55It's supposed to be.
02:57Cynthia!
02:57Why did you push me?
03:01Cynthia Shannon!
03:02What the hell are you doing?
03:04If you're angry, take it out on me.
03:06Chloe was only trying to help clean your wounds
03:07and you viciously shoved her down the stairs?
03:22I didn't push her.
03:23She threw herself down.
03:25You still dare to lie?
03:27Cynthia, I think you've understood the relationship
03:30with me between Jason and Mia.
03:32I know you don't like me.
03:34I was only trying to help just now,
03:36out of genuine kindness.
03:39Why...
03:39Why did you still push me?
03:41Are you all right?
03:43It hurts so much.
03:45I can't get up.
03:48I'm taking you to the hospital.
03:50Stop right there.
03:53Did I say you could leave?
04:00Jason Hill,
04:01you let that scheming tramp cause me injury.
04:04You laid your hands on me and struck me.
04:05And now you think you can just walk away?
04:07What else do you want?
04:09That I didn't make you get on your knees
04:10and apologize to Chloe
04:11is the greatest mercy I've shown you.
04:14Jason, time and again,
04:16you've trampled on my sincerity.
04:17Since that's how it is,
04:19why should I continue to tolerate?
04:20And just what do you think
04:22you're going to do, Miss Shannon?
04:31And just what do you think
04:34you're going to do, Miss Shannon?
04:36Mom, what are you doing here?
04:39Auntie...
04:40If I hadn't come,
04:42just how much further
04:43would you have let her bully you?
04:45Auntie, please don't blame Cynthia.
04:48This is my fault.
04:49I caused the fight between her and Jason.
04:52You take Miss Lynn to the hospital first.
04:54I'll handle things here.
04:56I'd like to see just what she thinks she can do.
05:01Auntie,
05:02what wind has blown you all the way here?
05:04Cynthia, Shannon,
05:05and I mean this sincerely,
05:06you should not be quarreling with Jason
05:07over matters concerning Miss Lynn.
05:09It shows a complete lack of understanding
05:11and maturity.
05:12Auntie,
05:12since you've clearly known
05:13about their intimate relationship
05:14for quite some time,
05:15then when Chloe wanted some home cooking
05:17for her birthday,
05:18why didn't Jason simply bring her back
05:19to the Hill family home
05:20and have you personally prepare
05:21the celebration meal?
05:22Why go out of his way
05:22to drag her here
05:23and disturb me?
05:24Is it because you can't cook?
05:26Or because you simply don't want to?
05:31Just listen to yourself!
05:33Such venom from the moment
05:34you open your mouth!
05:35No wonder my Jason
05:36is always fighting with you!
05:37Miss Lynn and Jason
05:38have been classmates
05:39since childhood.
05:40They grew up together.
05:41Naturally, their bond
05:42is somewhat deeper than most.
05:46For a man of my son's stature,
05:48having a few close childhood confiances,
05:50that not perfectly normal?
05:51As the future daughter-in-law
05:52of the Hill family,
05:53there are certain things
05:54you must learn
05:55to turn a blind eye on.
05:56You certainly don't go around
05:58shoving people down the stairs!
06:00Auntie,
06:00you can eat whatever slub you want,
06:02but you'd better watch
06:03what filth comes out of your mouth.
06:05With which eye exactly
06:06did you see me
06:07push Chloe down those stairs?
06:11The one injured right now
06:12is Miss Lynn,
06:13not you.
06:14You've come out on top,
06:15so learn to show
06:15a little mercy
06:16to those beneath you.
06:17If you can tolerate
06:18her existence,
06:19then the Hill family
06:20have room to tolerate
06:21you the future.
06:21That is how you earn
06:22the right to step
06:23through the gates
06:23of the Henia
06:24and side in a leisure of vilsch
06:25such as this.
06:26Are your eyes uninjured?
06:27Open them wide
06:28and look carefully.
06:29Am I not injured?
06:30This is the handiwork
06:31of your precious son
06:31and his little mistress.
06:33And furthermore,
06:33this is my private villa.
06:35What connection does it have
06:35to your Hill family?
06:36Yours?
06:37Mine?
06:37What difference does it make?
06:38You're going to marry my son.
06:40That makes this the private property
06:41of the Hill family.
06:42Like mother,
06:43like son indeed.
06:44If it weren't for honoring
06:44the marriage pledge
06:45my grandfather made
06:46before his dasing,
06:47a family like this
06:47would never even cross
06:48my line of sight.
06:49I've been talking so long
06:50my mouth is parched.
06:51I must say,
06:52where are your manners?
06:53Pour me a cup of tea.
06:54Nancy Wine?
06:55Bring a pot of hot tea.
06:56Miss Cynthia,
06:56your wounds,
06:57they're still bleeding.
06:58Please let me tend
06:58to them for you.
06:59Stop right there!
07:00Cynthia Shaman,
07:01were you raised
07:01with no manners whatsoever?
07:03When an elder is present,
07:04shouldn't you be serving tea
07:05to that elder
07:05with your own two hands?
07:07Auntie Huang,
07:07please have some tea.
07:17The esteemed young lady
07:19of the Shannon family
07:20and this is the extent
07:21of your decorium?
07:22Serving tea
07:22to an elder
07:23with only one hand?
07:25Auntie,
07:25I have observed
07:26the proper courtesies.
07:27Drink it or don't,
07:28it's entirely up to you.
07:29How dare you defy me?
07:31An elder has not dismissed you
07:32and you think
07:33you can simply walk away?
07:41Miss Cynthia,
07:43Madam Huang,
07:44our young lady's hands
07:45are injured.
07:46Allow me to serve you
07:47tea in her place.
07:48And just who do you
07:48think you are?
07:49You think you're worthy
07:50of serving me tea?
07:51Madam Huang,
07:52I tolerated you once
07:52out of respect
07:53for you as an elder.
07:54But since both you
07:54and your son
07:55seem incapable
07:55of recognizing
07:56basic boundaries,
07:57then get the hell
07:57out of my house.
07:58Nanny Wynn,
07:58show our guest the door.
07:59Am I imagining things?
08:00This Cynthia Shannon today,
08:02why does she seem
08:03different somehow?
08:03She actually dared
08:04to talk back to me
08:05to my face?
08:06Madam Huang,
08:07you've been asked
08:08to leave Cynthia Shannon.
08:09Those words came
08:10from your own mouth.
08:11Don't you dare regret
08:11them later.
08:12In the future,
08:13even if your Shannon family
08:14comes begging on Ben Nee
08:15for an alliance
08:15with the Hill family,
08:16I will never agree to it.
08:19Miss Cynthia,
08:20the private doctor
08:20is already on his way.
08:22Let me help you change
08:23into some fresh clothes.
08:26That Hill mother and son
08:27are simply outrageous.
08:28You haven't even married
08:29into that family yet
08:30and they're already
08:31treating you like this.
08:32With these injuries,
08:33will you still be able
08:34to attend Elder Murray's
08:3560th birthday banquet
08:36tomorrow?
08:37It's nothing.
08:38Just superficial wounds.
08:40They won't prevent me
08:40from attending
08:41the banquet tomorrow.
08:41Since the sincerity
08:42was repaid with nothing
08:43but this kind of trampling,
08:45then I like that.
08:46I'm better off without him.
08:50Cynthia Shannon,
08:50even playing hard to get,
08:52has its limits.
08:53Today is Elder Murray's
08:5460th birthday banquet.
08:56You chased me
08:56all the way here.
08:59Are you really that
09:00incapable of living
09:00without me?
09:03It's her.
09:05She's back.
09:09It's her.
09:11She's back.
09:12Attention.
09:13Chin up,
09:13chest out.
09:14Heels together,
09:15hands pressed
09:16to the seams
09:16of your pants
09:17and no moving.
09:18My legs are going
09:19memo.
09:20I want to rest.
09:21Negative.
09:21If you want to rest,
09:22you have to submit
09:23a formal request.
09:24Why?
09:24Because I am
09:26the drill instructor
09:26and you are the recruit.
09:28You follow my orders.
09:30Fine.
09:31Reporting, drill instructor.
09:33I'm tired.
09:33I request permission
09:34to rest.
09:35Request granted.
09:36Rest in place.
09:38Here.
09:39This is for you.
09:40Will you be
09:41my little side hick?
09:42What's in it for me
09:43if I'm your side hick?
09:44Lots of things.
09:45If you ever blow
09:46this whistle,
09:47no one will dare bully you
09:48because you're
09:49under my protection.
09:53Young Master,
09:54the family elders
09:55have all arrived.
09:56The old master
09:56requests your presence
09:57in the VIP room
09:58to pay your respects.
10:02I'm talking to you.
10:04Are you deaf?
10:06Jason Hill,
10:07have all the other men
10:07in the world drop dead?
10:08You think I need
10:09to chase you here?
10:10Get out of my way.
10:11Cynthia,
10:12Jason only gave me
10:13his invitation
10:13and brought me along
10:14because he saw
10:14you were injured.
10:15Since your wounds
10:16clearly haven't healed yet,
10:17why aren't you
10:18home resting?
10:19You know,
10:19you can't get into
10:20an event like this
10:20without an invitation.
10:21So,
10:22how exactly
10:23did you get in?
10:24Probably snuck in
10:25clinging to some
10:26sugar daddy.
10:27You've got some
10:28man bankredding you now?
10:30Well done,
10:31Cynthia Shannon.
10:32You went and found
10:33yourself some
10:33random sugar daddy
10:34just to get my attention
10:35and make me jealous?
10:39She actually dared
10:40to ignore me.
10:41Could there really be
10:42some other man
10:42in the picture?
10:43No,
10:43I have to get
10:44to the bottom of this.
10:45Jason,
10:46so what if there is
10:47some other man around her?
10:48Didn't you say
10:49you were going to
10:49call off the engagement
10:50with her?
10:50Why are you still
10:51so concerned
10:51about what she does?
10:52Call it off?
10:53Can't you see
10:54she's just playing
10:54hard to get with me?
10:59Jason Hill,
11:00what the hell
11:01are you doing?
11:01Let go!
11:02I'm already giving you
11:03an out here.
11:04All you have to do
11:05is apologize
11:05and this whole thing
11:06goes away.
11:06So why won't you
11:07apologize?
11:08Why go find some
11:09other man just
11:10to provoke me?
11:10Why on earth
11:11would I apologize
11:12to you?
11:12You're engaged to me
11:13yet you have
11:14the audacity
11:14to parade your mistress
11:15around at an event
11:16like this
11:17and now you demand
11:18that I apologize
11:18to you?
11:19Have you completely
11:20lost your...
11:21So it's true then,
11:22you really are
11:22being kept
11:23by some other man.
11:24No one has ever
11:25dared to betray me!
11:27Cynthia Shannon,
11:27you actually had the nerve
11:28to make a fool
11:28out of me?
11:35Jason Hill,
11:36the Murray family
11:36is infamous in the capital
11:37for controlling both
11:38the legitimate
11:39and underground worlds.
11:40This is a Murray family banquet.
11:42You actually dare lay hands
11:43on me at an event like this?
11:44Don't forget,
11:45the Shannon and Murray families
11:46have ties that span generations.
11:47They will not let you
11:48get away with this.
11:51So what if your families
11:52have ties?
11:53The Murray family
11:54is about to make
11:54a major investment
11:55in Hill Enterprises.
11:56Do you really think
11:57they'll step up
11:57to defend you right now
11:58and let you sabotage
11:59the relationship
11:59between our two families?
12:01Cynthia,
12:01just because I don't
12:01want you anymore,
12:02you try to sow discord
12:03between the Murray family
12:04and Hill Enterprises?
12:04Do you despise seeing
12:05me succeed that much?
12:06Jason,
12:07if she dares to stir up
12:08trouble today,
12:09tomorrow she'll be
12:09undermining everything
12:10from within.
12:10At this rate,
12:11she could completely
12:12destroy the entire
12:12collaboration between
12:13the Murray and Hill families.
12:14You can't keep indulging her.
12:15She needs to be taught
12:16a lesson she won't forget.
12:17What do you think
12:18you're doing?
12:19Didn't you push me
12:20down the stairs last time?
12:22Today,
12:23I'm returning the favor
12:25with interest.
12:32Chloe Lin,
12:32you take advantage of me
12:33while I'm injured
12:34to bully me.
12:34I will remember this.
12:36I swear,
12:37I will make you both pay
12:38for what you've done today.
12:39Make us pay?
12:40Chloe merely gave you
12:41a slight taste
12:41of physical discomfort.
12:42Have you forgotten
12:42how you shoved her
12:43down the stairs?
12:44Whatever lesson she deems
12:45fit to teach you,
12:45you'll take it.
12:46You owe her that much.
12:54Who gave any of you
12:55the audacity
12:55to cause trouble
12:56at a Murray family banquet?
13:04Who gave any of you
13:05the audacity
13:06to cause trouble
13:07at a Murray family banquet?
13:10Are you all right?
13:11Is that my little sidekick?
13:14When did he get so handsome?
13:15Nothing serious,
13:16just surface wounds.
13:17But I twisted my ankle.
13:19I can't stand.
13:20Otherwise,
13:20they wouldn't have
13:21laid a finger on me.
13:22I'm taking you
13:23to the hospital.
13:23Young Master Vince,
13:24today is Elder Murray's
13:25birthday celebration,
13:27yet Cynthia Sean
13:27deliberately chose
13:28this occasion
13:29to publicly sow discord
13:30between the Murray family
13:31and Hill Enterprises.
13:32She clear intent
13:32to sabotage
13:33the investment deal
13:34you're about to finalize.
13:35I couldn't stand it anymore
13:36and took it upon myself
13:37to teach her a lesson
13:38on your behalf.
13:39Exactly,
13:39Young Master Vince.
13:40She only caused this scene
13:41to get my attention.
13:42That's right,
13:43Young Master Vince.
13:44We were merely
13:44disciplining her
13:45for your sake.
13:46Disciplining?
13:48Butler Shaw,
13:50what is the customary lesson
13:51for those who offend
13:52the Murray family?
13:53Young Master,
13:54traditionally it is either
13:55rolling over
13:55the nail board
13:56or walking through
13:57the fire pot.
13:58The offender may choose one.
14:00They dare to assault someone
14:01and create a disturbance
14:02at a Murray family banquet.
14:03Teach them a proper lesson
14:04on my behalf.
14:05Cynthia Shannon,
14:05you are my fiancé,
14:07and yet you've gone
14:07and entangled yourself
14:08with Vince Murray,
14:09and you dare humiliate me
14:11like this in public
14:11at an event like this?
14:13Just wait until
14:14I get you home.
14:15No, no, please.
14:16Jason,
14:17I don't want to roll over
14:18the nail board
14:19or walk through
14:20the fire pit.
14:21I don't want to.
14:23I don't want to.
14:28Minor fracture.
14:29It didn't reach
14:30any critical joints
14:30or tendons.
14:31I've set it in a case
14:31for you.
14:32Be careful not to put
14:33any weight on it
14:33and keep it dry
14:34to avoid infection.
14:34Okay, thank you, doctor.
14:36Little sidekick.
14:37It took you long enough.
14:39You finally remembered?
14:40I haven't seen you
14:41in all these years
14:41and you've grown up
14:42this handsome.
14:43I almost didn't
14:43recognize you.
14:44Yes, it's been years.
14:46And in all that time,
14:47the little firecracker
14:48I used to know
14:48has somehow let people
14:49walk all over her.
14:50Just a slight
14:51miscalculation.
14:51I twisted my ankle
14:52and couldn't stand.
14:52Otherwise,
14:53they never would have
14:53touched me.
14:54I'm still plenty fierce.
14:55Jason Hill,
14:56what is he to you?
14:57How could they dare
14:58treat you like that?
14:59He is engaged to me,
14:59but he is not
15:00my destined partner.
15:01These past few years,
15:02my father has been
15:02gravely ill.
15:03The power within the company
15:04fell entirely in the hands
15:05of my hands of Stununcle,
15:06my father's secretary,
15:07Ray Lee.
15:08By the time I graduated
15:09and turned to take over
15:09the company,
15:10I discovered that Lanew
15:11International had long since
15:12been hollowed out
15:12from the inside.
15:13So, you sought an alliance
15:15with the Hill family.
15:15You intended to use
15:16the marriage to regain
15:17control of Lanew International?
15:18Exactly.
15:19Though it seems that path
15:21is now firmly close to me.
15:22Bad news, Miss Cynthia.
15:24The chairman,
15:25he's passed away.
15:31Zentone,
15:31how could you be so cruel?
15:34How could you leave me
15:35and Chloe behind like this?
15:38Dad?
15:38What did you just call him?
15:40Dad?
15:41Who gave you the right
15:42to call him that?
15:43He is my father.
15:44Why shouldn't I call him that?
15:46Your father?
15:47Of course.
15:48If you don't believe me,
15:49just ask Uncle Winston
15:50and Aunt Yara.
15:51Ask them if the man lying here
15:53is my father or not.
15:54Cynthia,
15:55Chloe is indeed
15:55your father's girdle.
15:57They were his family
15:58outside the home.
15:59What family inside?
16:00What family outside?
16:01Uncle Winston has grief
16:01completely adored your mind?
16:02My father, Zentone Shannon,
16:03had only one family
16:04from beginning to end.
16:05One daughter.
16:06And that is me.
16:07You've been away
16:07at Military Academy
16:08since you were 16.
16:09All these years,
16:09it's been a completely
16:10closed off environment
16:11of study and training.
16:12It's only natural
16:13you wouldn't know
16:13the details of your
16:14father's personal affairs.
16:15The relationship
16:16between your father
16:16and your mother
16:17was not harmonious.
16:20So he simply...
16:21So he simply had an affair
16:22with his secretary, Rayleigh,
16:23and stared a bastard this old?
16:25You dare call me a bastard?
16:27Oh, so you do realize
16:28bastard is an insult?
16:30Then how dare you come here
16:31and make such outrageous claims?
16:34You hit me?
16:35Mom, she hit me!
16:37Mom!
16:39You choose this moment.
16:41This exact moment
16:42to fabricate such lies?
16:43Are you trying to destroy
16:44my father's lifelong reputation?
16:49Cynthia, is this any way
16:50to speak to your elders?
16:51Everything your uncle Winston
16:52just said is the absolute truth.
16:53There isn't a single person
16:54in the company
16:55who doesn't know
16:55they were your father's family
16:56outside the home.
16:57Just because everyone
16:57in the company knows something,
16:58does that make it true?
16:59Aunt, have you never heard
17:00that facts require evidence
17:01to support them?
17:02Oh, Zentone,
17:03you've only just left us
17:04and already your daughter
17:05is bullying us like this.
17:07You disrupt my father's passage
17:08into the next life
17:09and defile his reputation
17:10in death.
17:11Ian Moe, throw these two out.
17:13You wouldn't dare.
17:14Cynthia Shannon,
17:15my mother stood by father's side
17:16for over a decade.
17:17She was already his wife
17:18in everything but name
17:19and I am just as much
17:20a rightful young lady
17:20of the Shannon family.
17:22Not only do we have
17:22every right to be here,
17:23but we are entitled
17:24to half of the inheritance
17:25father left behind.
17:27Let go of me!
17:28Who the hell do you think
17:29you are putting
17:29your hands on me?
17:31The deceased deserves peace.
17:33Ladies, don't make this
17:34any uglier than it needs to be.
17:36Fine.
17:37Very fine indeed.
17:38You tell Cynthia this.
17:40Since she chose
17:40to start this fight,
17:41she better not blame us
17:42for how we finish it.
17:43Just you wait and see.
17:49So this is your type, huh?
17:50Hmm.
17:50She's got character.
17:51I find it quite appealing.
17:52Whoa, Grandpa?
17:53When did you get here?
17:54I've been here a while.
17:55I heard you carried some girl
17:55into the hospital.
17:56I had to see for myself
17:57what kind of person
17:58could possibly catch
17:58grandson in his eye,
17:59so I followed along.
18:00That Shannon girl's
18:01got an even fiercer temper
18:02than you do,
18:02a real fiery one.
18:03But I must say,
18:04she's every bit a product
18:05of the military academy.
18:06That sharp,
18:06commanding presence of hers,
18:07she's exactly what's needed
18:08for the wife of a Murray family heir.
18:09Her father's passed away.
18:10You will represent the Murray family
18:11and deliver a pair
18:12of allegory couples
18:12to offer our condolence.
18:20Ms. Cynthia,
18:20this emergency board meeting
18:21was called by several
18:22of the senior founding shelters.
18:23They oppose your appointment
18:23as acting CEO
18:24and are proposing to strip you
18:25of your position.
18:25My father's funeral rolls
18:27have barely concluded.
18:28And these old vultures
18:28already can't contain themselves?
18:30They have begun
18:30to openly question
18:31your authority.
18:32Then I'll just have
18:33to meet with them personally.
18:41Well, well,
18:42right on time.
18:44Find yourself a seat.
18:45Uncle Winston,
18:46you seem awfully eager
18:47to warm my seat.
18:48Are you?
18:49Am I?
18:49I'd say I'm far too slow.
18:51Otherwise,
18:51you wouldn't have spent
18:52the last six months
18:53running this entire corporation
18:54into the ground.
18:55You have two minutes.
18:56Move aside.
18:57Cynthia Shannon,
18:58you seem to have forgotten.
18:59You are merely
19:00the acting CEO.
19:01Your uncle
19:01and the rest of us here
19:02are all shareholders
19:03of this board.
19:04If you wish to occupy
19:04that seat,
19:05you must first ask
19:06whether we agree.
19:07Exactly.
19:07The foundations
19:08we spent decades building,
19:09you just dismantle them all
19:10with a few words
19:10about reform
19:11and streamline processes?
19:12Even when disciplining a dog,
19:13one must first consider
19:14its master.
19:15Which is why today,
19:15on behalf of this board
19:16of directors,
19:17I formally move
19:17to have you removed
19:18from the position
19:18of acting CEO.
19:19I second the motion.
19:20What could a snitten old brat
19:22still wet behind the ears
19:23possibly accomplish
19:23sitting in the acting CEO's chair?
19:25The economy is in a downturn.
19:26Yet the six months
19:27since I took over
19:28Lano International,
19:29profits have increased
19:29by 200% compared
19:30to the same period last year.
19:31Not only have I prevented
19:32any of the esteemed individuals
19:33from losing a single cent,
19:34I've insured each of you
19:34of your monthly dividends.
19:35The cold hard cash
19:36has very much made its way
19:37into all of your pockets.
19:38And who exactly
19:39was responsible for that
19:40if not the so-called
19:41snot-nosed brat?
19:44Oh!
19:52You've gone mad!
19:54You...
19:56Relax.
19:57He won't die.
20:01As of this morning,
20:03Miss Consinthia
20:03holding 75% strape
20:05in Lanyu International Group.
20:06She is now
20:07the majority shareholder.
20:08Signed by the...
20:09the chairman
20:10before his passing.
20:11Now then,
20:13do I still
20:14require your permission
20:15to sit in this seat?
20:16I, Cynthia Shannon,
20:17will not only safeguard
20:18the foundation
20:18my father built,
20:19I will lead Lanyu International
20:20to even greater heights.
20:22Soon, I shall formalize
20:23a marriage alliance
20:23with the whole family.
20:24Should anyone dare
20:25to engage in
20:25internal sabotage again,
20:26I will join forces
20:27with whole enterprises
20:27and short all of your
20:28equity holdings
20:29into oblivion.
20:30As for the company reforms,
20:31if you lend them
20:32your support,
20:33then in the future,
20:33those who wish
20:34to continue receiving
20:34fin divids may do so.
20:35Those who wish
20:36to increase their shareholdings
20:37may do that as well.
20:38I will not short chart
20:38a single person
20:39sitting in this room.
20:40I thought she was supposed
20:41to be some naive little girl
20:42who would be easy
20:42to manipulate
20:42and you believe that?
20:43She came out
20:44of a military academy.
20:45They're trained from childhood
20:46in iron fist tactics.
20:47She plays hardball,
20:48I'll give her that.
20:49But then again,
20:49it's not like we have
20:50to go to war with her
20:50over this.
20:51If she can actually
20:51keep doubling
20:52our dividend parents,
20:53who sits in that chair
20:53makes no difference to me,
20:54I have no objections.
20:55You bunch of
20:57spineless weather veils!
20:58Since there are no objections,
21:00this meeting is adjourned.
21:08Miss Cynthia,
21:09you truly are the successor
21:10the chairman personally chose.
21:11You silenced those opposing
21:11shareholders in just a few moves.
21:13All men hustle for profit.
21:14All chaos storms from greed.
21:15When interests are at stake,
21:16there is no such thing
21:17as an unbreakable alliance.
21:18Understood.
21:19However,
21:20do you truly intend
21:20to go through
21:21with the marriage alliance
21:22to the Hill family?
21:23Jason Hill is not
21:24a suitable match for me.
21:25I do need to make a trip
21:26to the Hill family
21:26and have a proper discussion
21:27regarding this engagement issue.
21:29Clear my schedule
21:29for the rest of the day.
21:35Oh, Jason,
21:37you are engaged to my sister.
21:39What if she finds out about us?
21:41And what if she does?
21:42She's absolutely crazy about me.
21:43She listens to every word I say,
21:45terrified I won't marry her.
21:46Relax.
21:47Even if she knew
21:48I could smooth it over
21:48with a few sweet words.
21:49We're both daughters
21:50of the Shannon family.
21:51How come Cynthia
21:52gets all the luck?
21:53She inherits all of
21:54father's estate
21:55and even the man I love
21:56have to be snatched away by her.
21:57Chloe,
21:58marrying her is purely
21:58a business arrangement.
21:59In my heart,
22:00there has only ever been you.
22:01Always.
22:02Be good now.
22:03You're off.
22:10Cynthia Sharon!
22:11Have you lost your mind?
22:13Jason Hill,
22:14you and I are still
22:14technically engaged.
22:15Are you truly that impatient?
22:17If you must sneak around,
22:18could you at least have the decency
22:19to dissolve our engagement first?
22:21No,
22:21it's not what you think.
22:22sister,
22:24you've misunderstood.
22:28Chloe Lynn,
22:29you truly disgust me
22:30just as much as you always have.
22:36Since those greedy paws
22:38of yours reach so far,
22:39allow me to shorten them for you.
22:41Jason,
22:42help me!
22:43Cynthia,
22:43don't do anything rash.
22:45Stay
22:46right where you are.
22:47Take one more step
22:48and I'll take three
22:49of her fingers.
22:50Cynthia Shannon,
22:51look at yourself,
22:51acting like a complete shrewd.
22:53Where is even a shred
22:54of the dignified young lady
22:55you're supposed to be?
22:56Jason Hill,
22:57what gives you the right
22:58to judge me?
22:59Today I have seen you
23:00for exactly what you are,
23:01utter scum.
23:02We're not even married yet.
23:03What's wrong with me
23:03having a little fun on the side?
23:05Now if you release Chloe
23:06like a good girl,
23:07I might be willing to overlook
23:07this little outburst of yours.
23:09Otherwise,
23:10when it comes to this
23:11marriage alliance
23:12between the Hill
23:12and Shannon families,
23:13it's not necessarily
23:14set in stone
23:15that you'll be the one I marry.
23:16Why don't we take
23:17a good long look
23:18in the mirror?
23:19With that revolting
23:20character of yours,
23:21do you truly believe
23:21that you're worthy
23:22of marrying me?
23:27Hello?
23:28Miss Cynthia,
23:28the lawyer just called
23:29to confirm.
23:30Within the 75% equity
23:31transfer agreement
23:31signed by the late chairman,
23:3340% of those shares
23:33are designated
23:34as conditional inheritance.
23:35What conditional inheritance?
23:37They will only officially vest
23:38upon the completan
23:39of your marriage registration.
23:41Fine.
23:42I understand.
23:43See?
23:43Right now,
23:44it's your Shannon family
23:45that's begging to form
23:46an alliance with my He family.
23:47I suggest you stop
23:48being so ungrateful
23:49and release Chloe immediately.
23:50Sister,
23:51since you've caught us,
23:52there's no hiding anymore.
23:53Jason and I have been
23:54other for four years.
24:01Since you're so utterly shameless
24:03and so determined
24:03to treasure the garbage
24:04I've already discarded,
24:06then he's all yours.
24:07Jason Hill,
24:07consider this my formal notice.
24:09My engagement to you
24:10is nug and void.
24:11From this day forward,
24:12we are strangers.
24:13Do not speak to me
24:14and stay out of my sight.
24:18Cynthia Shaman,
24:19you dare unitaritally annul
24:20an engagement set by our elders?
24:22Do you no longer want
24:23the support of the Hill family?
24:24Who else besides me
24:26would ever take a shrag like you?
24:27You will regret this.
24:30Jason,
24:31Cynthia is just upset right now.
24:33Maybe,
24:33maybe you should go after her
24:34and try to smooth things over?
24:36Smooth things over with her?
24:37I guarantee you
24:38before the day is out,
24:39she'll come crawling back
24:39begging for my forgiveness.
24:41Did you not hear
24:41what was just said?
24:42Forty percent of the inheritance
24:43her father left her
24:44requires her to register a marriage
24:46before she can claim it.
24:47Now,
24:47aside from me,
24:48who else could possibly marry her?
24:50But,
24:51she just denoted
24:53her engagement to you?
24:55Hmph.
24:56She knows perfectly well.
24:58Right now,
24:58the only way she can secure
25:00her footing at Lan U International
25:01is through a marriage alliance
25:02with the Hill family.
25:11Little firecracker.
25:12Where to?
25:13I'll give you a ride.
25:19What's got you in such a good mood?
25:21Something wonderful.
25:22Little sidekick,
25:24how many years has it been
25:24since we last saw each other?
25:26Ever since you left
25:27for the military academy,
25:28we haven't met since then.
25:30Are you married?
25:32Don't even mention it.
25:33My grandfather's been
25:33pressing me relentlessly about it.
25:35Any interest in getting married?
25:37To me?
25:38What?
25:38Married?
25:39Over a decade apart
25:40and you really haven't changed
25:41one bit?
25:41Still just as direct.
25:43Is being direct such a bad thing?
25:45I, due to certain circumstances,
25:46I find myself in urgent need
25:47of someone to register a marriage.
25:50Circumstances involving the company?
25:52Your grandfather's been nagging you
25:54to get married, hasn't he?
25:55I can help you resolve
25:56that particular problem.
25:57It's not entirely out of the question.
26:00So, can we help each other out?
26:03Thanks, little sidekick.
26:04As of today,
26:05we're officially legal business partners.
26:07Here's to a smooth collaboration.
26:08To a smooth collaboration.
26:09To avoid anyone
26:10seeing through this arrangement,
26:11you'll have to start calling me
26:12Darling from now on.
26:13Fine by me, not a problem.
26:14Darling, you've worked hard today.
26:15We're husband and wife now.
26:17Shouldn't we be living together?
26:19Uh, sure.
26:19Good, I'll go back
26:20and get things sorted.
26:21You'll move in with me.
26:22Hello?
26:23What?
26:27Miss Cynthia,
26:28Chloe Lin Rae Lee,
26:29and others are challenging
26:30your right to inherit
26:31the 40% conditional inheritance shares
26:32left to you by the chairman,
26:33citing your unmarried staff.
26:38Since when does the board
26:39convene meetings
26:40without the presence
26:41of the board chairman?
26:42And just which board chairman
26:44would that be?
26:45If I'm not,
26:46then you must be.
26:47Is that it?
26:47Enough, Cynthia.
26:48Save the tough act.
26:49Everyone here knows
26:50that 40% of the equity transfer
26:52agreement your father signed
26:53is designated
26:54as conditional inheritance.
26:55Jason,
26:56what business do you have
26:57attending a LanU
26:58international board meeting?
26:59I'm about to form
27:00with the Hill
27:01a marriage a Lantley.
27:02Shit's so strange
27:03that my Fonso is it here?
27:04Dinda question is,
27:05you can't claim 40%
27:06of your goof-goof-ent.
27:08Shea authorized
27:08you attend it way.
27:10Cynthia,
27:11just give it up already.
27:12If you come over here
27:13right now,
27:14apologize properly
27:15and beg for my forgiveness,
27:16our engagement still stands.
27:18You'll smoothly
27:19inherit your father's shares
27:20and you can keep sitting
27:21nice and cozy
27:22in that CEO chair
27:23of LanU International.
27:24Jason Hill,
27:25have you lost your mind?
27:27Did every other man
27:28on the planet
27:28suddenly drop dead?
27:29Is marrying you
27:30the only possible way
27:31I could inherit the shares
27:32my father left me?
27:34That's enough, Cynthia.
27:36Your current shares
27:37are nowhere near
27:38what we hold combined.
27:39What are you still
27:40yapping about?
27:41I hereby formally move
27:43to have you removed
27:44from office.
27:44Effective immediately,
27:46you are no longer
27:47the CEO of LanU International
27:49nor a member
27:50of this board.
27:51If you know
27:52what's good for you,
27:53you'll see yourself out.
27:56Uncle Winston,
27:57is this what you believe
27:59as well?
28:00You truly intend
28:01to have me removed?
28:06LanU International
28:07cannot be destroyed
28:08in your hands.
28:08This company is the fruit
28:09of a lifetime
28:10of our blood and sweat.
28:11Your so-called reforms
28:12have only plunged
28:13the enterprise
28:13into chaos and dysfunction.
28:14Enough.
28:15I understand perfectly now.
28:16However,
28:17none of you have
28:18the authority
28:19to remove me.
28:20Don't tell me
28:20you're fantasizing
28:21that I'll swoop in
28:21and turn the tide
28:22for you.
28:22I'm Chloe's fiance now.
28:24I simply don't have
28:24the time for you.
28:26Cynthia,
28:27don't hold this
28:28against your uncle.
28:28I'm only thinking
28:29of what's best
28:30for the company.
28:31Sign it.
28:32And if I refuse?
28:34And don't blame me
28:35for what happens next.
28:37Security.
28:42What do you think
28:43you're doing?
28:43We all know
28:44you've got some skills.
28:46That's why I prepared
28:47a little something special
28:48just for you.
28:52Today,
28:52you will sign
28:53whether you want to
28:54or not.
29:07Little firecracker,
29:08are you alright?
29:11I'm fine.
29:12What are you doing here?
29:14I came to pick you up
29:15from work.
29:16I didn't expect
29:16to walk into
29:17this spectacle.
29:18President Murray,
29:20what brings you here?
29:26Oh,
29:26I understand now.
29:27You must have known
29:28I was here.
29:28You've come to discuss
29:29the investment
29:30in Hill Enterprises,
29:31haven't you?
29:32Let's relocate
29:32somewhere more private
29:33and discuss the details
29:34in full investment.
29:36Jason Hill,
29:36before conducting business,
29:37one must first learn
29:38to conduct oneself
29:39with basic human dignity.
29:40You can't even manage that
29:41and you still expect
29:41my investment?
29:42Effective immediately,
29:43the Murray family
29:44will cease all capital funding
29:45to Hill Enterprises.
29:46No, no,
29:47young master Vince,
29:48you can't just pull
29:48your investment like this
29:49without warning.
29:50You'd be severing Hill Enterprise
29:51with his entire capital flow.
29:52The company will go bankrupt.
29:54Could he be the very head
29:54of the Murray family
29:55that the Hill family
29:56has been desperately
29:56curating favor
29:57with all these years?
29:58President Murray,
29:59up to meet you.
29:59I am Winston Shannon,
30:00Delanyu International.
30:01My niece,
30:02Cynthia Shannon,
30:02has been clinging
30:03to the CEO position
30:04despite lacking sufficient equity
30:05to remove her from office.
30:06The board has now
30:06terracourse-desley.
30:07Our apologies
30:08for subjecting you
30:08to such a display.
30:10So it was you.
30:11You're the one
30:12trying to oust
30:12Little Firecrasher?
30:16Young master Vince,
30:17Lan Yu International
30:18is not a subsidiary
30:19of the Murray family.
30:20What right do you have
30:21to come in here
30:21and assault people?
30:23Shut your mouth.
30:23All of Hill Enterprises'
30:24business team
30:25depends entirely
30:25on the support
30:26of the Murray family.
30:27Do not bring trouble
30:27down on me.
30:28Ian Moe,
30:29since they seem unclear
30:30on who the true master
30:30of Lan Yu International is,
30:32educate them on behalf
30:33of Little Firecracker.
30:34Teach them precisely
30:35how one identifies
30:35their master.
30:36Understood,
30:37President Murray.
30:37Ladies and gentlemen,
30:38Ms. Cynthia Shannon
30:38currently holds
30:39a 75% equity stake.
30:40She remains the Lan Yu
30:40of the Majority International.
30:41The motion raised
30:42during this board meeting
30:42is hereby ruled nil and void.
30:44How is that possible?
30:45She clearly couldn't
30:46claim that 40%.
30:47How could she possibly
30:48still hold 75% of the shares?
30:50That's impossible.
30:51Whether it's possible
30:52or not, Ms. Lin,
30:53you are free
30:53to investigate for yourself.
31:00You've been drugged?
31:01Come.
31:02I'm taking you
31:02to the hospital.
31:08What?
31:09What?
31:13Winston Shannon,
31:14just what have you
31:15and those Lin
31:15been doing behind our backs?
31:17Every single company
31:17we've had longstanding
31:18business relationships with
31:19is now refusing
31:20to cooperate with us.
31:21Dozens of our production lines
31:22have ground to a complete halt.
31:23How is this possible?
31:24How could the production lines
31:25just stop?
31:26You imbecile.
31:26You've offended people
31:27you had no business offended.
31:28Do you have any idea
31:29how far the stock price
31:30has plummeted?
31:31Cease your foolish actions
31:32immediately.
31:32We share all together
31:33and help every last one
31:34of you on this board.
31:35Uncle Winston,
31:36worry about that
31:36you have been weighing
31:37soon enough.
31:37Once we have the full backing
31:38of Hill Enterprises,
31:39they won't be able
31:40to stir up any trouble
31:41whatsoever.
31:41This is all because
31:42you people thoroughly
31:43offended the Murray family.
31:44Billions in contracts
31:45for my Hill Enterprises
31:46completely destroyed
31:47because of you.
31:48The Murray family
31:49has pulled all investment
31:50from Hill Enterprises.
31:52Marry you?
31:52You're dreaming.
31:58Darling,
31:59help me.
32:02Little firecracker,
32:03just hold on a little longer.
32:04We're going home.
32:10Kiss me.
32:21Winston,
32:22Chloe is your daughter.
32:22Can you really bear
32:23to watch Cynthia Shannon
32:24that wretched bitch
32:25trample her underfoot
32:25like this?
32:26Rest assured,
32:27I will make certain
32:27our daughter receives
32:28everything that is
32:29rightfully hers,
32:30including the CEO position
32:30at Lan U International.
32:31I'll see her name
32:32entered into the Shannon
32:33family registry
32:33with full honor and glory.
32:35All these years,
32:36I've degraded myself
32:37staying by Zettenton's side,
32:38helping you secure
32:39your seat on the board.
32:40Now that old bastard
32:41is finally dead.
32:42I will not allow
32:43some snot-nosed brat
32:44to destroy everything
32:45we've schemed
32:46for all these years.
32:47It's the perfect opportunity
32:48to take over the company.
32:53Don't worry.
32:54Lan U International
32:55will be ours.
32:56What?
32:57That's impossible.
32:59How could our shares
33:00have been shorted
33:01into oblivion overnight?
33:02Who else could it be
33:03but Cynthia?
33:04It had to be her.
33:06Cynthia Shaman,
33:07I will never let you
33:08get away with this.
33:17You're awake.
33:18Did you make all this?
33:19Hmm.
33:20I wasn't sure what you liked,
33:21so I just used whatever
33:22was in the fridge
33:22and threw a few dishes together.
33:24Go on, try some.
33:25See if it suits your taste.
33:28Mmm, this is delicious.
33:30I had no idea
33:31you had skills like this.
33:32Not bad at all.
33:33I've really lucked out,
33:34haven't I?
33:35If you like it,
33:36I can cook for you
33:37every day from now on.
33:41No need to be janned.
33:42That's a former, of course.
33:45Careful.
33:57Um, I'm full.
33:59I should get to work.
34:00Stay home and rest today.
34:02I'll handle the company
34:03of matters for you.
34:04Winston Shaman and Chloe Lean
34:05have already liquidated
34:06the majority of the company's assets
34:07and transferred the funds
34:08to overseas accounts.
34:09If I want to rebuild this company,
34:10I have to tear out
34:11these parasites by the roots first.
34:12I want to handle this myself.
34:14You don't have to shoulder
34:15everything alone.
34:16I'll be right behind you
34:17giving you my full support.
34:19Specifically,
34:20what do you plan to do?
34:21Start with the Kuntz's
34:22branding department.
34:23I'm going to solve
34:24the entire promotion
34:24for Lanyu Guadzi
34:25will be over by Junwo Holdings
34:27under your name.
34:28Consider it done.
34:30Additionally,
34:31I need you to look into
34:31a company called
34:32Chanwei Technology for me.
34:33While I was auditing the books,
34:34I discovered that
34:35Lanyu International
34:35has been remitting
34:36large sounds of money
34:37to this company repeatedly
34:38under the guise
34:39of brand promotionist faces.
34:40These transactions
34:41are clearly irregular
34:41and defy all business logic.
34:44Alright.
34:54Cynthia Shannon,
34:55what is the meaning of this?
34:57Why are you dissolving
34:58the branding department
34:59my department?
35:00Miss Lee,
35:00am I required to submit
35:02a request for your approval
35:03before I dissolve a department?
35:05I am the department header.
35:06You dissolve the entire department
35:07and offer not even
35:08a single word of explanation?
35:17You soon won't be.
35:23Madam Lee, Miss Lynn,
35:24whereas for many years
35:24you have systematically outsourced
35:26the entirety of Lanyu International's
35:27branding operations
35:28to a third-party entity,
35:29these actions have caused
35:30severe and material damage
35:31to the company's reputation.
35:32By order of the CEO,
35:33the branding department
35:33and its leadership
35:34are hereby dissolved
35:34effective immediately.
35:35The department will be restructured
35:36as the new brand center
35:39and placed under the direct management
35:40of Junvo Holdings,
35:41a subsidiary of the Murray Corporation.
35:43Cynthia Shannon,
35:44you think you can just
35:45hollow out our power?
35:46On what authority?
35:48I forbid it!
35:49On the authority
35:50that I am the CEO
35:51of Lanyu International.
35:52On the authority
35:53that I sit in the chair
35:54of this board of directors.
35:56Dissolving a minor department
35:57is absolutely with...
35:58Junvo Holdings
35:59has acquired Lanyu International.
36:00The company will now undergo
36:01a comprehensive asset restructuring.
36:03Going forward,
36:04every single employee
36:05of Lanyu International
36:06will sign a new labor contract
36:07with Junvo Holdings.
36:08Those who refuse to sign
36:09will be considered
36:10as have voluntary resigned.
36:11You!
36:11You have no right to do this!
36:13Lanyu International
36:14belongs in part to us as well.
36:15Chloe is the daughter
36:16of your father,
36:17Zent and Shannon.
36:17No matter how you restructure
36:18the assets,
36:19our share remains.
36:22Oh, does it?
36:30Winston!
36:31Chloe is your daughter!
36:33Can you really bear
36:34to watch her be trampled
36:35under feet
36:35by that wretched bitch
36:37Cynthia Shaman?
36:44So she's just a fake after all.
36:46Here to swill the family fortune.
36:47Truly shameless.
36:48Seems like she's been dreaming
36:49of being the heiress
36:50for so long
36:51she actually started
36:52believing it herself.
36:53What are you all mummering about?
36:54Get out!
36:55All of you,
36:56get out now!
36:56No, that's not true!
36:58How could I possibly be
36:59Uncle Winston's daughter?
37:00Mom, what is going on here?
37:01Chloe Lin,
37:02whose daughter you are,
37:03means absolutely nothing to me.
37:04What does matter is this.
37:05Chonway Technology
37:06is under investigation
37:07for severe tax evasion
37:08and our findings show
37:09that you and Ray Lee
37:09are the principal majority
37:10shareholders behind
37:11that very company.
37:12And what's even more absurd
37:13is this.
37:13To cover up the tax evasion
37:14shortfalls,
37:15you actually embezzled
37:16billions in corporate funds
37:17from Lan Yu International
37:18to plug the holes
37:19you yourselves created.
37:21What?
37:21They embezzled company funds
37:22to cover up their own tax crimes?
37:24Madam President's kind of offense
37:25warrants severe punishment.
37:27We should call the-
37:27You wouldn't dare.
37:28I'm about to become
37:29the Young of the Hill family.
37:30A trickio like this,
37:32Jason will smooth it
37:33all over for me.
37:34Move it over?
37:34You've cost us billions
37:35in cancelled orders
37:36with the Murray family.
37:37And now you expect Jason
37:38to clean up this mess
37:39of yours as well?
37:40I haven't even begun
37:41to settle accounts with you.
37:42Auntie!
37:44Jason!
37:45What are you doing here?
37:51This meeting just keeps getting
37:53more and more entertaining
37:54by the minute.
37:58Madam Huang,
37:59President Hill,
38:01what business brings you here
38:03to see me?
38:09Cynthia,
38:10what happened at the banquet
38:11was Jason being utterly foolish.
38:13I've brought him here personally
38:15to apologize to you.
38:18Apologize?
38:18Yes.
38:19Cynthia,
38:20I was wrong before.
38:21I was ignorant and impulsive.
38:23I apologize to you.
38:24I'm willing to make amends
38:26in any way you see fit.
38:27All I ask is that
38:28our personal conflict
38:29not be allowed to affect
38:30the collaboration
38:30between the Murray family
38:31and Hill Enterprises.
38:32I must say,
38:33your level of self-awareness
38:34has suddenly skyrocketed,
38:35so it turns out
38:36you're hoping a simple apology
38:37will salvage the partnership
38:38with the Murray family.
38:39What a pity.
38:40Your apology
38:41is not accepted.
38:43Cynthia Shannon,
38:44I've apologized.
38:45What more do you want from me?
38:47Don't push your advantage.
38:49Enough is enough.
38:50Jason Hill,
38:51are you threatening me?
38:52Don't forget,
38:53you are still my fiancé.
38:55Now go speak to
38:55Young Master Vince immediately.
38:57Tell him to reinstate
38:58the Murray family's investment
38:59in Hill Enterprises.
39:00Jason Hill,
39:01I severed all ties
39:02with you long ago.
39:03I am already married.
39:04I am Vince Murray's wife.
39:05That's impossible.
39:07Young Master Vince
39:07would never marry
39:08someone like you.
39:11Hello.
39:12Honey,
39:13I heard Jason Hill
39:14came to see you.
39:16Indeed.
39:17He claims our personal affairs
39:18have impacted
39:19his company's partnership
39:20with you.
39:21Darling,
39:22you really shouldn't let
39:22my personal matters
39:23affect your business decisions.
39:25One must separate
39:26the personal
39:26from the professional.
39:27Jason Hill,
39:28your methods of conducting affairs
39:30are truly most unsatisfactory.
39:32It seems simply
39:33withdrawing my investment
39:34from Hill Enterprises
39:35was insufficient after all.
39:37In that case,
39:38let Hill Enterprises
39:39prepare for bankruptcy.
39:43We came here today
39:44with nothing but
39:44the utmost sincerity
39:45to beg forgiveness
39:46from the young madam.
39:47That will depend entirely
39:48on whether my wife
39:49is willing to accept
39:50your apology.
39:50Young Madam Murray,
39:51I'm sorry.
39:52I apologize to you.
39:53Please, please forgive me.
39:54I beg you, show mercy.
39:56Don't let the Hill family
39:56go bankrupt.
39:58Jason, have you lost your mind?
39:59How could Hill Enterprises
40:00possibly go bankrupt?
40:01How could she possibly
40:02be married to Vince Murray?
40:03It's impossible.
40:06Get away from me!
40:07Chloe from Lynn,
40:08if you hadn't seduced me
40:09in the first place,
40:09could things between
40:10Cynthia and I
40:10have ever come to this?
40:11The Murray family
40:12is not a force
40:13we can afford to evoke.
40:14If the young madam
40:14refuses to forgive
40:15the Hill family,
40:16the Hill family is finished!
40:17Enough.
40:18I have no time
40:18for your drool.
40:19Some lessons aren't learned
40:20until the rod falls
40:21splarily on one's own back.
40:22You would do well
40:23to reflect on yourselves.
40:24It's over.
40:25It's all over.
40:26Acting on a formal complaint
40:28filed under real name
40:29and following due investigation,
40:30Ray Lee and Chloe Lynn,
40:31you are suspected
40:32of tax evasion
40:33and embezzlement
40:33of corporate funds.
40:34You are hereby placed
40:35under arrest
40:36in accordance with the law.
40:37No!
40:37I won't go to prison!
40:38Jason, save me!
40:39Save you?
40:40You can rot in there
40:41for the rest
40:41of your miserable life!
40:42Ah!
40:43Ah!
40:44Ah!
40:49Cynthia,
40:50I was wrong.
40:51It was Chloe
40:51who seduced me.
40:52Please just forgive me,
40:53alright?
40:53Jason Hill,
40:54you really are shameless.
40:55I don't care
40:56who seduced you.
40:57You and I
40:57have been over
40:58for a long time.
41:02Jason Hill,
41:03if you ever lay
41:03another finger
41:04on my wife,
41:05I'll make sure
41:05you never get back
41:06on your feet again.
41:07Cynthia,
41:08you were gonna marry me before.
41:09You're just doing this
41:10because you're jealous, right?
41:11I swear,
41:12Chloe is locked away now.
41:13I will never have anything
41:14to do with her ever again.
41:15Let's start over.
41:16Please?
41:16Could you possibly
41:17be any more disgusting?
41:18Jason,
41:19the psychological trauma
41:20you've left me with
41:20is quite substantial
41:21and my preferred method
41:22of self-preservation
41:23has always been
41:24physical force.
41:25So remember this,
41:26do not ever show your face
41:26in front of me again
41:27because every time I see you,
41:28I will hit you.
41:29Now get lost.
41:31Honey,
41:31it's over.
41:32Yes,
41:33it's finally over.
41:34No matter how many storms
41:35came before,
41:36for all the remaining days
41:37of my life,
41:38I will shelter you
41:38from every harm.
41:39You don't have to be strong
41:40all by yourself anymore
41:42because you are
41:42my greatest pride
41:44and my entire world.
41:46We were both young
41:48when I first saw you
41:50I closed my eyes
41:52and the flashback starts
41:54I'm standing
