Cost of Wrong Love: A Billionaire’s Repentance , Romantic Emotional Series - ENGSUB
Transcript
00:00:02I've been this man's mistress for five years. I loved him, but he only saw me as a substitute.
00:00:08I don't regret it, because those five years of humility were the debt I owed him.
00:00:18Elena's back in the country. Just landed. You need to leave this villa.
00:00:22Now?
00:00:22Immediately. Clean up any trace of you having lived here. I don't want her to know you slept here.
00:00:28Okay.
00:00:30Elena is back. My days as the substitute are finally over. I'm finally free.
00:00:36In our freshman year, both Elena and I were poor students living on scholarships.
00:00:41But with that innocent face of hers, she became the goddess of every man on campus,
00:00:46including the heir to a top-tier family, Logan.
00:00:49Elena, come to the Grammy Awards with me. Seats like these aren't something you can just buy with money.
00:00:54Sorry, I need to go to the library to study. Mr. Logan,
00:00:58your money can buy everything, but it can't buy my respect.
00:01:05You're broke too, right? Help me win her over.
00:01:08If she falls for me, I'll fund you.
00:01:10I knew Elena was just playing hard to get, but my father was hospitalized,
00:01:13and I was even about to drop out of school because of it.
00:01:15So I desperately needed that money to save him. Deal.
00:01:18Elena got a top-tier university offer to Cambridge funded by Logan,
00:01:23and I, I became her substitute.
00:01:26Logan's caged nori.
00:01:31They think I've been discarded.
00:01:33That 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.
00:02:09Ava, 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.
00:02:19All right, 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 after you left.
00:03:11How could she possibly be in my bedroom?
00:03:13Just kidding.
00:03:14Look how nervous you are.
00:03:15Justing 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 Elena won't suspect anything.
00:03:28Fine.
00:03:29I'll find a suitable divergent.
00:03:34His real princess has returned.
00:03:36It's time for this substitute to exit Eisring, his world.
00:03:43Sorry, I just got off the phone with an international headhunter.
00:03:46All 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.
00:03:57It'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.
00:04:05She said she's not hungry.
00:04:07He knows perfectly well I'm allergic to seafood, and 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 to welcome Elena back.
00:04:18She missed your home-cooked meals.
00:04:20Go back to the villa tonight and prepare you a feast.
00:04:22All right.
00:04:23Logan, Ava is, after all, the group's executive president.
00:04:26Isn't it inappropriate to her cook like a maid?
00:04:27What'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 going to kick her out?
00:04:52Who said I was in a relationship with her?
00:04:54She was just a stand-in for Elena.
00:04:57Don'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?
00:05:34Did she hear everything we said about her being cheap?
00:05:37So what if she did?
00:05:39Does she dare to get angry?
00:05:40Unless she wants to go back to the slums and beg for food.
00:05:45Mmm, so sweet.
00:05:46Logan, 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, and I, in turn, never truly gave him my heart.
00:06:01The fruit platter is ready.
00:06:02The main course will be served shortly.
00:06:05She clearly heard those words herds 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?
00:06:16Hmph.
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 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.
00:07:03Logan, 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.
00:07:10A little of this strong liquor won't hurt her.
00:07:13Then I have to toast the goddess too.
00:07:14Ava, cheers.
00:07:16Everything is about to end.
00:07:17In these last few days with Logan, I won't refuse any requests 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.
00:07:49You had a few glasses of champagne.
00:07:52Are you feeling dizzy?
00:07:53Don't be jealous for no reason.
00:07:54I've already declared to everyone that you are the future mistress of the group.
00:07:59I'll forgive you this time.
00:08:00Ava, you are really drunk.
00:08:02Let Logan drive you back to your apartment.
00:08:04No need.
00:08:05I can walk by myself.
00:08:06I have important business to attend to.
00:08:09Take a tax 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 shepherd?
00:08:34Why 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?
00:08:52I didn't, Mr. Logan. Don't worry. I'll find one soon.
00:08:56Don't lie. Elena is starting to suspect us.
00:08:59I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.
00:09:02Don't worry. One more week, and I'll disappear completely from your world.
00:09:08So eager to jump into someone else's arms.
00:09:11That shield better be a decent one. Don't embarrass me.
00:09:23You told me to find one?
00:09:26You're so obedient, it's disgusting.
00:09:30Logan, I miss you. Can I move into your villa tomorrow?
00:09:33Of course, baby. My 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? Where do you want to go?
00:09:49I want to help you with the Vandeboe group. I don't want to be just a freeloader.
00:09:53Good. I'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.
00:10:04We're here.
00:10:06Darling, it's my first day. We should keep our distance.
00:10:09I don't want people saying I got the job through connections. That wouldn't be noble.
00:10:13See? She's still as pure and independent as she was in college.
00:10:16Newman nowadays will do anything to climb the ladder.
00:10:18From a simple general and her considered it. Maybe she's the only one.
00:10:22Notify the board. We're having an all-hands executive meeting in 10 minutes.
00:10:26I have major per-personnel changes.
00:10:28All right. I'll take care of it right away.
00:10:33I heard there will be a major personnel announcement today.
00:10:36Ava doubled the company's performance, so she's definitely getting promoted to co-CEO at the headquarters.
00:10:40Naturally. Vanderbilt 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.
00:10:47Actually, I was just about to...
00:10:51Only one thing will be announced today.
00:10:54Regarding the appointment of the former executive vice president, Ava.
00:10:58Congratulations. Is Ava being transferred to the New York headquarters as CEO?
00:11:02No. I announce Ava is hereby relieved of her position as executive vice president
00:11:07and demoted to vice president's assistant.
00:11:11What? Demoted instead of promoted? To 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
00:11:22from Cambridge, Miss Elena.
00:11:25Hello, everyone. Although I lack practical experience, I believe my international perspective
00:11:30is more suited to leading the company to a higher level.
00:11:32This is absurd. Replacing a meritorious vice president with an inexperienced rookie?
00:11:36Enough! Who is the master of this company? My word is the command.
00:11:41Ava, as an assistant, you'd better do your utmost to help Elena familiar herself with business.
00:11:46If she makes the slightest mistake, I'll hold you couple.
00:11:49Okay.
00:11:52Ava, are you crazy? This is too humiliating.
00:11:55I 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.
00:12:03This 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.
00:12:17Is Elena crazy? She'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?
00:12:30This 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.
00:12:39It's thanks to my face that you'd climb 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.
00:12:57I've never coveted things that don't belong to me.
00:13:00Stubborn words are useless.
00:13:02Honey, want to go see a movie tonight?
00:13:04There's a new project at Universal Studios.
00:13:05I'll wait for you.
00:13:06Okay, see you then.
00:13:08You already have a boyfriend?
00:13:10Logan, I have good news for you.
00:13:11Ava has a boyfriend.
00:13:12I 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.
00:13:24I just told her last night to find a male companion, and she's already found one today.
00:13:28Is there really not an angle place for me in her heart?
00:13:31Perfect.
00:13:31In a few days, there's a company team-building event to celebrate my appointment.
00:13:34Ava, bring your nonpoing along.
00:13:36Let's see you just house stranding the man who chunk her on an ore new Jillian Drenrys.
00:13:39Yes, 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.
00:13:47It'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.
00:13:53With 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.
00:14:04What?
00:14:05I remember Grant Financial's business has always been handled by you.
00:14:08Who is this administrative rookie?
00:14:09Mr. Grant, Ava is now just my assistant.
00:14:12The future of Vandert Group is controlled by elites like me with an international vision.
00:14:16Please sign.
00:14:17I hope your abilities are as impressive as your academic credentials.
00:14:21What are you looking at?
00:14:22Pervert!
00:14:23You're actually peeking at me!
00:14:24What nonsense are you talking about?
00:14:26I'm reading the 12th clause about compensating...
00:14:28Stop pretending!
00:14:29I'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.
00:14:36You 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
00:14:45is 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.
00:14:58Elena, if you've destroyed company's most important changing...
00:15:01It's just some disgusting man who can't control his eyes.
00:15:03What's the big deal?
00:15:04Logan will handle it.
00:15:14Why are you dressed like this?
00:15:25Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for one night?
00:15:27The pay is $3,000.
00:15:32Don't worry, sis.
00:15:33I'm a professional.
00:15:35I guarantee I'll make your colleagues stare.
00:15:37Remember, talk less later.
00:15:39Don't give us away.
00:15:40Don't worry.
00:15:41I'm certified in playing the affectionate puppy dog type.
00:15:46Wow, 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 Gritsockers to find me, remember 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
00:16:06her status.
00:16:07Ava, I never thought your taste was this poor, that you'd stoop so low as to hire such a
00:16:11cheap performer.
00:16:12Why not?
00:16:13In 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.
00:16:22By the way, all the guests have arrived.
00:16:24Didn'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?
00:16:31Enough.
00:16:32Your job is done.
00:16:33The final payment has been sent.
00:16:35Go.
00:16:36Thanks, sponsor sis.
00:16:44Lena, this is a welcome gift to celebrate your official entry into the Vanderbilt Group.
00:16:57Ava, does this Rolex look good with my skin tone?
00:17:03It does.
00:17:06If it weren't for paying off that astronomical debt for my family, I wouldn't have sold myself
00:17:12to Logan.
00:17:13I could have had the purest love too, right?
00:17:25Miss 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.
00:17:33Don't worry, I'll be there on time tomorrow.
00:17:35The contract is signed and I won't break it.
00:17:38Excellent.
00:17:39We 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
00:17:48and 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, I would
00:17:55always be just a humble shadow.
00:17:57I heard you're the poorest student who needs money the most.
00:17:59Help me win over Elena, and I'll fund you through college.
00:18:05Elena, don't leave me.
00:18:09For these five years, I've dutifully served as his substitute, accompanying him through
00:18:13his darkest hours.
00:18:15In my heart, you were once an unreachable star, but I'm tired.
00:18:19Goodbye, my former obsession.
00:18:20Goodbye, my shattered youth.
00:18:22Chairman Logan, this glass I toast to you.
00:18:27Thank you for all your care over the years.
00:18:30Today, I'd like to talk to you about my-
00:18:31Chairman, it's terrible.
00:18:33Grant Financial just formally issued a legal letter announcing a complete withdrawal of
00:18:37investment and suing us for a bridge of contract.
00:18:39The company's stock price has already hit the limit down.
00:18:45Chairman, something terrible has happened.
00:18:48Grant Financial has not only dominated all cooperation, but has also joined forces with
00:18:52the four major investment banks on Wall Street to launch a comprehensive blockade against
00:18:57us.
00:18:58How is that possible?
00:18:59Grant has been our staunch ally for five years.
00:19:01Why would they suddenly turn against us?
00:19:03On the day of the signing, Vice President Elena maliciously speculated that Chairman Grant
00:19:07was peeping at her and even slapped him in public.
00:19:10He insulted me first.
00:19:11He was staring at my chest.
00:19:13I was just defending my dignity as a woman.
00:19:15Ava, I told you to assist Elena.
00:19:17Are you dead?
00:19:18Grant Financial is the source of half of our company's funding.
00:19:21Don't you understand the consequences of offending such a giant?
00:19:24If you had stopped this foolish behavior in time, how could things have got this rotten?
00:19:28Sherdant, Miss Ava tried her best to stop it and even demanded Elena apologize immediately.
00:19:33It was Elena who wouldn't listen and even threatened Miss Ava.
00:19:35That's right.
00:19:36If Miss Ava hadn't intervened, Elena would have probably torn the other party to shreds
00:19:40right there in the conference room.
00:19:42Ava, even if she stopped you, couldn't you have called me directly?
00:19:45Where is your professionalism?
00:19:47You actually concealed such a catastrophic disaster and didn't report it.
00:19:50Chairman, President Amba was about to report it at the time, but Vice President Elena
00:19:54said she would communicate with you personally.
00:19:56It seems she didn't mention a single word.
00:19:58Honey, I just wanted to find the right time to explain.
00:20:00I didn't know that man would be so petty.
00:20:02Chairman, the board of directors at headquarters demands you return for a meeting immediately.
00:20:05They hope you give the German a reasonable explanation.
00:20:09Ava, come with me.
00:20:18Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.
00:20:20She is my chosen future wife, and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.
00:20:25So, you plan to make me the scapegoat?
00:20:28I will personally submit a report to the board.
00:20:30It will state that it was your overstepping and privation that angered Mr. Grant and led
00:20:34to the withdrawal of funds.
00:20:36Don't worry.
00:20:37Once the dust settles, I'll find a way to bring you back.
00:20:39Making me take the bullet for him again.
00:20:41In these five years, how many messes have I cleaned up for him?
00:20:44How many times I've been the fall guy?
00:20:46Logan, how can you be so at ease without even a seal of quilts?
00:20:50Logan, one should be responsible for one's own actions.
00:20:54If Ava isn't willing, just let me resign and take the blame.
00:20:57I don't want to see you in a difficult position because of me.
00:21:00Ava, do you really need me to beg you?
00:21:02You handled taking the fall so perfectly before.
00:21:04Why are you acting so unwilling in front of Elena?
00:21:06Don't you know your stubbornness now is destroying all our hard work?
00:21:13Fine.
00:21:14This one last time.
00:21:16I'll take the bullet for you one last time.
00:21:20Why did she agree so readily?
00:21:21Why is she leaving so decisively this time?
00:21:24Could it be, I really went too far?
00:21:26Darling, stop thinking about that assistant.
00:21:28She took your money.
00:21:29It's her honor to take the fall for me.
00:21:30Today is my first celebration after joining the company.
00:21:33Don't keep the executives waiting.
00:21:34What are you feeling guilty about?
00:21:36Ava is just a dog.
00:21:38Even if she occasionally gets upset, long you give her some luxury goods.
00:21:42She like Logrie Chan-y at your foot that's your runt.
00:21:46Let's go.
00:21:47Tonight, you are the only star.
00:21:55What are you doing here?
00:21:56Mr. Grant, I am here on behalf of the group to formally apologize to you.
00:22:01To Vice President Elena and to the glory that awaits us.
00:22:05Congratulations, Elena.
00:22:06Cheers.
00:22:06Get out with your chief apology.
00:22:09Tell Logan to kneel before me himself or this isn't over.
00:22:16In New York, no one dares to touch Grant's face.
00:22:19You want to make peace?
00:22:20Dream on.
00:22:21Mr. Grant, I take full responsibility for this matter.
00:22:24As long as you can calm down, we are willing to bear all responsibility and provide compensation.
00:22:28To calm me down, sure.
00:22:30If you drink all of these, I'll consider withdrawing the lawyer's letter.
00:22:33Fine.
00:22:33Wait a minute.
00:22:34Since you're taking the blame for someone else, you should at least have the posture of begging, right?
00:22:39Drink on your knee.
00:22:40That's right.
00:22:41In this city of New York, no one who asks Grant for a favor does it standing up.
00:22:46What?
00:22:47Can't stand the humiliation?
00:22:49Then get out.
00:23:10Elena, the future of the Vanderbilt group depends on you to lead us to new heights.
00:23:15Congratulations, Miss Elena, on securing your throne.
00:23:19Cheers.
00:23:23I wonder if that woman, Ava, can get Grant's letter of understanding.
00:23:49Oh, my God.
00:23:51Ava just released a public statement.
00:23:53She announced she takes full responsibility for the Grant withdrawal incident and is formally resigning.
00:24:00Resigning?
00:24:02She dares to resign?
00:24:05Ava, what the hell are you trying to do?
00:24:07Who gave you permission to leave me at a time like this?
00:24:10Why is Logan losing control like this just because Ava resigned?
00:24:13That look in his eyes.
00:24:14He's never shown it to me.
00:24:16Could it be he still loves Ava?
00:24:21Your funding back then allowed me to finish college.
00:24:24You truly were the only beam of light in the darkest night of my life.
00:24:28Over these five years, I've made you profits a hundredfold.
00:24:31All my savings are in this card.
00:24:33Enough to offset all your benevolency from back then.
00:24:36Goodbye forever, Logan.
00:24:42Ava, these reports must be redone before the end of the day today.
00:24:46Also, go to that Michelin-starred restaurant at Moon and queue up to make a reservation for me.
00:24:49Logan likes their truffles.
00:24:51You can keep this garbage and chew on it yourself.
00:24:53As for making a reservation, if you're not so useless that your legs are broken,
00:24:57go all over there yourself.
00:24:59I'm no longer an employee here.
00:25:01You have no right to order me around.
00:25:02Ava, where do you get the nerve to talk to me like that?
00:25:04Without me, you're not even fit to shine Logan's shoes.
00:25:07Since you want to get lost, get lost far away.
00:25:09Disappear from New York completely and don't come back wagging your tail like a stray dog.
00:25:13Elena, you've played the part of that pure money disdaining white moonlight very successfully.
00:25:17But remember, a play is just a play.
00:25:19When Logan discovers the rot beneath that skin of yours,
00:25:21I hope you can still smile so brightly.
00:25:34Chairman, the accounts are settled.
00:25:37Thank you for the hell you've given me all these years.
00:25:40It's made me invincible.
00:25:52Ava, you really left?
00:25:55How dare she leave without my permission?
00:26:00Ava, I'll use all my votes on the board to keep you.
00:26:03I haven't approved this resignation report yet.
00:26:05Get back to the company right now.
00:26:08Chairman Logan, there's no need.
00:26:09The nature of this withdrawal incident is extremely severe.
00:26:13Vanderbilt Group must give the other party an explanation,
00:26:15and I am the best scapegoat.
00:26:17You make a good point.
00:26:18Let's ride out this storm first.
00:26:19Once those old guys calm down, I'll bring you back.
00:26:22Also, take that black card on the table.
00:26:24It's your compensation.
00:26:26I never intended for you to pay back that tuition money.
00:26:28Chairman, I don't like owing debts,
00:26:30and I especially don't like owing favors.
00:26:31The money in that card was what you funded me with for university.
00:26:35I paid it all back to you.
00:26:36Ava, because I let Elena take your position
00:26:38and made you take the fall for her that you're unhappy?
00:26:41You have to understand my predicament.
00:26:43Elena just returned to the country.
00:26:44She needs a perfect resume to solidify her position in the company.
00:26:48Your abilities are known throughout New York.
00:26:50Even if you take this blame, it won't hurt your foundation at all.
00:26:53I'm not angry.
00:26:54In fact, I'm even grateful for taking this fall.
00:26:56It made me realize how liberating freedom feels.
00:26:59Where exactly are you planning to go?
00:27:00To a place where there's no more you and Elena.
00:27:03Isn't that what you've always wanted most?
00:27:05From now on, no one will stand in the way of your white mood line anymore.
00:27:10I... Ava, listen to me.
00:27:13The boarding announcement is on.
00:27:15Goodbye, Logan.
00:27:39Darling, I'm so happy today.
00:27:41We should celebrate being together.
00:27:42And why not invite Ava, too?
00:27:43Oh, she's worked so hard all these years.
00:27:45She see our happiness with her own eyes.
00:28:01Five years of waiting have finally borne fruit tonight.
00:28:29In this world, nothing is more precious than a love that's been lost and found again.
00:28:34I love you, Logan.
00:28:36I love you, Logan.
00:28:36Congratulations.
00:28:37True lovers are destined to be together.
00:28:40The one Logan truly loves has always been only you.
00:28:44Congratulations.
00:28:45You are the only queen for Logan.
00:28:48The lovers can finally embrace each other in the sunlight.
00:28:51Congratulations, Logan.
00:28:52You finally waited for the white moonlight of your dreams.
00:28:55And I, too, have finally waited for my freedom.
00:29:04Welcome to Los Angeles.
00:29:06I'm also very happy to arrive in this new world.
00:29:16Welcome aboard.
00:29:17It's time to start your era.
00:29:20You are Liam?
00:29:26Five years of waiting have finally borne fruit tonight.
00:29:29In this world, nothing is more precious than a love that's been lost and found again.
00:29:33I love you, Logan.
00:29:35Congratulations.
00:29:36True lovers are destined to be together.
00:29:41Ava!
00:29:42You damn woman, not only did you reject me, but you actually dared to hang up on me.
00:29:47She's getting more Nergal-Denis.
00:29:49Sorry, the number you dialed is powered out.
00:29:52Darling, Ava must still be angry with me.
00:29:55It's all my fault.
00:29:56How about on our wedding day?
00:29:58I go and invite her personally.
00:30:01I believe she'll eventually bless us with tears in her eyes.
00:30:11Exactly.
00:30:12What right does she have to refuse me?
00:30:15Everything she has now was given by me.
00:30:18She's nothing but a dog I raised.
00:30:21It won't be long before she gets knocked around and bruised out there.
00:30:25And then obediently crawls back, begging me to take her in.
00:30:30But why did her tone sound so unfamiliar just now?
00:30:33This feeling of losing my grip, could it really be just an illusion?
00:30:36Why do I have this feeling that she's going to disappear from my side?
00:30:56Ava, welcome to Liberty Financial.
00:30:58From today on, this is your stage.
00:31:03Chairman, we have a major problem.
00:31:05Our merger negotiations with Everett Group have completely reached a deadlock.
00:31:08The other party's chief negotiator suddenly turned hostile,
00:31:10demanding an additional 20% of equity shares on op of the original terms,
00:31:13or they'll terminate the cooperation immediately.
00:31:15What?
00:31:16We've been preparing for this project for five whole years,
00:31:19investing hundreds of millions of dollars in upfront capital.
00:31:22If it collapses now, the group's cash flow will dry up instantly.
00:31:25We won't be able to hold on.
00:31:26Are the people they sent that guy nicked him the vulture miller?
00:31:30And they notoriously greedy Harrison?
00:31:31Yes.
00:31:32It's them.
00:31:34These two are notoriously difficult to deal with on Wall Street.
00:31:37They don't play by any professional rules.
00:31:41What a coincidence.
00:31:43Back at the Vanderbilt Group, I almost drive those two into bankruptcy.
00:31:46They're my old rivals.
00:31:50Leave this project to me.
00:31:55Chairman, who is she?
00:31:57Isn't it too risky to hand over such a big project to a new face?
00:32:00Let me formally introduce to everyone.
00:32:02This is the company's newly assigned executive vice president and chief operating officer, Ava.
00:32:07Hello, everyone.
00:32:09I'm Ava.
00:32:10Transfer all the core materials in our tumbles to President Ava.
00:32:13She has the highest decisioning authority for the coming negotiations.
00:32:16Understood.
00:32:20Ava, I've waited five years just to be able to stand at the pinnacle of Wall Street with you side
00:32:25by side.
00:32:25I firmly believe you will never let me down.
00:32:28Ava, she is a top class hunter on Wall Street.
00:32:32I believe she won't miss.
00:32:34Charent, is she really capable?
00:32:36The other kind is notoriously stingy on Wall Street.
00:32:39This President Ava is a war goddess, the chairman personally snatched from the hands of New York's top financial magnets.
00:32:45On Wall Street, no one wants to face her at the negotiation table.
00:32:49Open your eyes wide and see clearly.
00:32:51This is the true king of top-tier brussels negotiation.
00:33:02Miller Harrison, long time no see?
00:33:05Ava, what are you doing here?
00:33:07I'm now in charge of the acquisition for this Liberty Financial project.
00:33:12I never imagined our opponent would be you.
00:33:15So what's all we're left to discuss?
00:33:17We've experienced your methods firsthand.
00:33:19All those underhanded negotiation tactics are just a waste of time in front of you.
00:33:24Then sign.
00:33:26No problem.
00:33:27You are the guarantee of industry credibility.
00:33:29We can drive a hard bargain with rookies.
00:33:32But with you, we value long-term cooperation more.
00:33:35Smart.
00:33:35Liberty Financial will provide you with top-tier investment banking support in return.
00:33:40Am I seeing things?
00:33:42That tough nut we've been trying to crack for five years and she got it signed in less than five
00:33:45minutes?
00:33:45This isn't a negotiation.
00:33:47It's a one-hided domination.
00:33:48Incredible.
00:33:49Is this Ava's true power?
00:33:50Simply amazing.
00:33:52Our company's about to take off.
00:33:53Senior, you're still the queen everyone looks up to.
00:33:56With you, Liberty Financial is about to experience a dream-like leap forward.
00:34:03Pleasure doing business.
00:34:07Pleasure doing business.
00:34:09Ava, Logan is truly insane to let go of a partner of your caliber.
00:34:13You flatter me, Miller.
00:34:15That's not just politeness.
00:34:17If we had known earlier that you were leaving that troublesome company,
00:34:20we would have offered double the equity to poach you.
00:34:23Since you both trust me so much, we'll be allies in Los Angeles from now on.
00:34:27It's a deal.
00:34:29See you again.
00:34:33Miss Ava, how on earth did you do it?
00:34:35They're known as the devil's representatives who never concede.
00:34:39The essence of business is the equivalent exchange of resources.
00:34:45As long as you see through the other party's weakness and offer a bargaining chip they can't refuse,
00:34:50success is a matter of course.
00:34:57As expected of my senior, with you on board, Liberty Financial is destined to shine on Wall Street.
00:35:03I'm honored to join the Liberty Financial team.
00:35:09The terms of this offshore funds betting agreement are overwhelmingly in our favor.
00:35:14Is it really reliable?
00:35:16Of course.
00:35:17This is a project personally recommended by my classmate from Cambridge.
00:35:21There's absolutely no problem.
00:35:23Elena, with you by my side, I'm like a light wings.
00:35:26Once we sign this project, the market value of Vanderbilt Group can double this quarter,
00:35:30and those old board members will have nothing to say.
00:35:34Am I better than that Ava who all knows how to bear your head and worker?
00:35:38Her.
00:35:39She's not worth one ten-thousandth of you.
00:35:41As long as I help Logan secure these few more big deals and completely win his father's approval,
00:35:46I'll be the true mistress of the Vanderbilt family.
00:35:50So, how does it feel to be back at our alma mater?
00:35:53Much more relaxing than the office buildings in Manhattan, right?
00:35:56I never thought we'd reunite under these circumstances.
00:35:59But, Liam, our meeting again, it probably wasn't a coincidence, was it?
00:36:07Actually, I've been silently watching you all these years.
00:36:11It's just that you were too close to Logan and never had a chance to step in.
00:36:15To be honest, I fell for you at first sight.
00:36:18I watched you compete in speech contests and dominate in debates.
00:36:22After graduation, I wanted to invite you to start a business together,
00:36:25but then I heard you joined Logan's family business to pay off your debt.
00:36:28From the day I entered Vanderbilt, I never planned to stay for a lifetime.
00:36:32I was just repaying a debt.
00:36:33Once it's paid off, it's time to leave.
00:36:35But I heard you were in a core position, holding all the lifelines of the company.
00:36:39How could that lunatic Logan bear to let you go?
00:36:42The world keeps turning without anyone.
00:36:43I'm not as indispensable as he thinks.
00:36:46I've done what needed to be done, repaid what needed to be repaid.
00:36:49We're even.
00:36:50I can disappear from his world with a clear conscience.
00:36:52Now that you've come to my side, I will never let go again.
00:36:58Chairman, something terrible has happened.
00:37:00Vice President Elena publicly fired our top salesperson, Carter,
00:37:03just because he was 10 minutes late to the morning meeting.
00:37:06Carter was immediately poached by our arch rival, Apex Capital.
00:37:10He took three of our core major clients with him.
00:37:14The company's losses are at least $200 million.
00:37:18Who gave her permission to touch Carter?
00:37:20He's the pillar of our company's performance.
00:37:27Chairman, it gets worse.
00:37:28We just wired the $50 million advance for that overseas project Elena signed off of,
00:37:32and the recipient's account was instantly deactivated.
00:37:35We checked the FBI's blacklist.
00:37:36It's just a shell company for money laundering.
00:37:38We've been set up.
00:37:41What?
00:37:45Chairman, I personally half a month a month
00:37:47in Silicon Valley touched us a social's genius, Carter.
00:37:51With Ham on board,
00:37:53no one can touch Vanderbilt's and with North Mayor's share.
00:37:56This man's background is indeed clean and formidable.
00:38:00And these offshore projects,
00:38:01I've been tracking them for two years.
00:38:03I've personally done all the risk assessments.
00:38:06As long as I'm here,
00:38:07none of your decisions will go wrong.
00:38:10Chairman,
00:38:10Elena just signed two $10 billion hedge agreements
00:38:13with European investment banks in your name.
00:38:15But according to our emergency due diligence,
00:38:17both companies are backed by nothing but shells.
00:38:19The risk is off the circus.
00:38:21Chairman, you have to make a decision,
00:38:22or the company will be hollowed out.
00:38:37In such a short time,
00:38:39I've used my university connections
00:38:41to secure so many major projects for Logan.
00:38:44He must be looking at me in a new light now,
00:38:48finally realizing who his true partner in battle is.
00:38:55Investigate.
00:38:56The overseas parent companies of these two projects
00:38:59have no operational qualifications at all.
00:39:02They're all shell companies for money laundering.
00:39:05Chairman,
00:39:07the finance department just followed
00:39:08Miss Elena's urgent instructions
00:39:10and has already transferred all the down payments.
00:39:13All transferred?
00:39:16$500 million?
00:39:17How on earth did Elena vet their qualifications?
00:39:20Is her brain filled with mush?
00:39:22With this level of incompetence,
00:39:24she's not even worth one ten-thousandth of Ava.
00:39:32All of you, get out!
00:39:40If Ava were here,
00:39:41such a low-level mistake would never have happened.
00:39:46If Ava were here,
00:39:48such a low-level mistake would never have happened.
00:39:50But why?
00:39:51Elena is clearly my first love.
00:39:53So why do I have such absurd thoughts?
00:39:56Elena just returned to the country.
00:39:58It's inevitable there are slip-ups in business.
00:40:01As long as I bring Ava back to assist her,
00:40:03the company will quickly get back on track.
00:40:08Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service.
00:40:12Not in service?
00:40:14Ava, you've gone this far?
00:40:16You even cut off the last means of contact?
00:40:32Ava!
00:40:33Open the door!
00:40:34I know you're in there!
00:40:36Don't play hide-and-souk with me!
00:40:46Ava?
00:41:02Logan, this is my final gift to you.
00:41:05Everything you casually handed down to me over the years is in this box.
00:41:13I didn't take a single piece of the trash in the closet that you looked down upon.
00:41:18We're even now.
00:41:19Goodbye forever.
00:41:27What does she mean by this?
00:41:29These were my rewards to her.
00:41:32She never used a single one?
00:41:37This Rolex was originally bought for Elena, but I remembered wrong.
00:41:43She doesn't like this kind of rugged strap.
00:41:45It's yours now.
00:41:46Take it and wear.
00:42:05The tag is still on.
00:42:07She never wore any of the clothes I bought for her.
00:42:20Darling, does this limited edition Chanel suit your complexion?
00:42:24Honey, I've long outgrown that old-fashioned style.
00:42:27I have other brands I prefer.
00:42:29Gotta go.
00:42:39Elena doesn't like it.
00:42:40This trash is yours now.
00:42:42Throw it away or wear it yourself.
00:42:46These jewels, these clothes, she hasn't even touched them.
00:42:51Every single thing she left here is a slap in my face.
00:42:54She's telling me she never valued anything I gave her.
00:43:07Ava, what gives you the right to draw a line with me?
00:43:10Are you trying to tell me you've won with all this garbage?
00:43:18Mobilize all our contacts, both legal and underworld.
00:43:22Seal off every exit port in New York.
00:43:24Track that woman down no matter where she's hiding.
00:43:27She doesn't even have the right to die without my permission.
00:43:32How dare she disappear?
00:43:35I'll make her regret ever being born.
00:43:43Ava, what gives you the right to draw a line with me?
00:43:46Are you trying to tell me you've won with all this garbage?
00:43:54Ava, even though you've been driven out of New York,
00:43:57Logan's heart is still completely filled with you.
00:44:00No, you're just my replacement.
00:44:03Logan can only be my prey.
00:44:08I'm going to let the whole world know
00:44:10who the future master of the Vanderbilt family is.
00:44:13Ava, you'll forever be stuck in the gutter.
00:44:26Have you found her?
00:44:27Chairman, we've searched all the private clinics and apartments
00:44:30in Manhattan and Queens.
00:44:31There's absolutely no trace of Miss Ava.
00:44:36Damn it!
00:44:37Ava, where the hell are you hiding?
00:44:44Damn it!
00:44:45Ava, where the hell are you hiding?
00:44:46Where exactly are you planning to go?
00:44:48To a place where there's no more you and Elena.
00:44:51She paid off all her debts just to escape me completely.
00:44:54Ava, who gave you the nerve to vanish from my world?
00:45:00Buddy, you're way too low-key.
00:45:02You're about to get married
00:45:03and you didn't even invite us for a drink?
00:45:05Elena's the one with scents.
00:45:06The photos she posted have set all of Wall Street on fire.
00:45:09What wedding?
00:45:10What the hell are you talking about?
00:45:11Stop pretending.
00:45:12Check your social media feed.
00:45:13You guys are really going all out.
00:45:15Was that right after you got out of bed?
00:45:23Darling!
00:45:25Why are you here so early?
00:45:26Did you miss me?
00:45:30Delete that disgusting post right now, Elena!
00:45:33I brought you back to play the part of the perfect white moonlight,
00:45:35not to scheme here!
00:45:39Elena, when did you become so scheming?
00:45:42Logan, I'm your fiancé.
00:45:44Is posting an intimate photo of you some kind of capital crime?
00:45:47Phone.
00:45:48Unlock it.
00:45:50If you want our relationship to end right here,
00:45:52you can keep holding on to it.
00:46:02From now on, you are not to post anything about my private life without permission.
00:46:06Elena, trying to force marriage with such a low-level technique is too childish.
00:46:09This is the first and last time.
00:46:11If it were Ava, she would never do something so stupid.
00:46:13She always knows where the line is.
00:46:15Logan!
00:46:16I did this because I love you too much!
00:46:19I'm scared every day.
00:46:21Scared you'll get tired of me.
00:46:23Scared you'll realize I'm not as capable as Ava.
00:46:26What I fear most is that Ava will come back and take you away from me.
00:46:33Please, don't do this.
00:46:35Logan, please don't go.
00:46:37I'll be good.
00:46:38I'll become the person you want me to be.
00:46:40I'm just so afraid of losing you.
00:46:43Afraid of losing?
00:46:44I admit I made the stupidest decision,
00:46:47but you're the only one in my heart.
00:46:49I really care about you too much.
00:46:53I didn't, Mr. Logan.
00:46:54Don't worry.
00:46:55I'll find one soon.
00:46:56Don't lie.
00:46:57Elena is starting to suspect us.
00:46:59I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.
00:47:03I shared a bed with Ava for five whole years.
00:47:05I honestly thought she'd have some shred of attachment.
00:47:07But now, she managed to vanish into thin air without a second thought.
00:47:10Turns out, the one who truly cares never leaves.
00:47:13And the one who never really cared about me
00:47:15walks away with zero regrets.
00:47:17Ava.
00:47:26Due to quality issues, the foundation has collapsed.
00:47:29The other party has officially filed a lawsuit with a federal court
00:47:32demanding that we pay one billion U.S. dollars.
00:47:36What did you say?
00:47:40Darling, look at this.
00:47:42I'm going to replace all those outdated suppliers Ava left behind.
00:47:48Why change them?
00:47:50Those companies have worked with us for ten years without a single mistake.
00:47:54Because they're too expensive.
00:47:56The batch I found is half the price.
00:47:58Oh.
00:47:58That woman, I treated her so well.
00:48:00And she betrayed me?
00:48:02You're the reliable one.
00:48:03Do worry.
00:48:04It's backed by a top-tier lab.
00:48:06Absolutely proof.
00:48:10This is a third-party men's yet report.
00:48:12This patch of gong is nothing but inferior recycled scrap.
00:48:16Not even meeting half of the minimum safety standards.
00:48:19Vanderbilt Group is not only macing bankruptcy.
00:48:21We'll have to bear criminal sciability.
00:48:24Can you tell me what's going on?
00:48:26Didn't you say it was backed by a top-tier lab?
00:48:31I...
00:48:32I was deceived by the mid-middle man.
00:48:35I didn't know.
00:48:42Elena, you're fired.
00:48:44Get out of here with your disgusting lies right now.
00:48:46I never want to lay eyes on you again.
00:48:48Logan?
00:48:50For that bitch?
00:48:52You actually hit me?
00:48:55You're firing me over this little money?
00:48:57Get out.
00:48:58Drag this trash out of here.
00:49:03Chairman, if we can't come up with a solution before the market opens tomorrow,
00:49:07Vanderbilt's stock will be wiped out instantly.
00:49:09We're going bankrupt.
00:49:10Bankrupt?
00:49:12Vanderbilt's century-old legacy is going to be destroyed by me?
00:49:15If Ava were here, none of this would have happened.
00:49:18It's all my fault.
00:49:20How could I have been so blind to let a fool like Elena
00:49:22take the vice president's position?
00:49:24Chairman, I just received a tip.
00:49:27Miss Ava is now at Liberty Financial.
00:49:30What?
00:49:31How dare she go to that small-time company to become my competitor?
00:49:35Who gave her the audacity to betray me like this?
00:49:38Since you're not dead,
00:49:40you must come back and save my empire.
00:49:46Ava, I know your ambitions go far beyond this now.
00:49:48If we secure this deal,
00:49:50Liberty Financial would tear open a crack in the core North American market
00:49:53and soar to new heights.
00:49:54Chairman, I heard that for this Wansang International bid,
00:49:57the competitors are all established Wall Street financial giants
00:50:01and top-tier multinational corporations.
00:50:03She definitely can.
00:50:05In my dictionary,
00:50:07Ava is synonymous with miracle.
00:50:09You've never let me down before.
00:50:11This time will be your coronation once again.
00:50:15Ava is back!
00:50:26Liam, I'm sorry.
00:50:27It's okay.
00:50:28Even if we didn't sign this deal,
00:50:30it doesn't matter.
00:50:31As long as you come back safely,
00:50:33we have countless more opportunities.
00:50:39I said I'm sorry,
00:50:40because starting tomorrow,
00:50:41everyone might have to work overtime for a whole month.
00:50:43The contract, I got it.
00:50:50Sorry, I was just too excited.
00:50:52Oh my God!
00:50:52Signing with Wansang International
00:50:54means our company's valuation will double tonight.
00:50:56It's a miracle!
00:50:57Truly the undisputed queen of negotiation on Wall Street.
00:51:00Don't you shower me with praise.
00:51:02This is the result of the whole team's overnight due diligence.
00:51:06Without your data support,
00:51:07I couldn't have signed a single word.
00:51:11Ava, I finally found you.
00:51:13You despicable traitor.
00:51:14Get over here right now.
00:51:19Ava, get over here right now.
00:51:22Chairman Logan,
00:51:23aren't you busy planning that multi-billion dollar wedding of the century for Elena?
00:51:27What brings you to a small company like mine to throw a tantrum?
00:51:30Who gave you permission to change your phone number?
00:51:33Did I ever allow you to disappear from my site?
00:51:36And did you get my permission to work for this rival company?
00:51:39Chairman Don,
00:51:39it seems your memory is failing you.
00:51:41I've already resigned from your company.
00:51:43Where I go,
00:51:44even if it's to work on Mars,
00:51:45has nothing to with you.
00:51:46Not even half a quent.
00:51:48Ava,
00:51:48I'm giving you one last chance.
00:51:50Get back to my company with me,
00:51:51now.
00:51:52Several major overseas short-sheeters
00:51:54are frankly attacking our stock price right now.
00:51:56You're the only one who can handle this mess.
00:51:58Sorry, but I'm now an executive partner at Liberty Financial.
00:52:01I have no obligation to help you patch up that dilapidated sinking load anymore.
00:52:06Besides,
00:52:06don't you have your gunna goddess Elena?
00:52:08Let her use her innocent face to get you through this crisis.
00:52:11Have you forgotten who helped you in the first place?
00:52:13If it weren't for me,
00:52:14you'd still be in the slums.
00:52:15It was me who put you in a top-tier vela,
00:52:17who brought you into the global financial circle.
00:52:19Listen,
00:52:19if you come with me now and help me solve this crisis,
00:52:22I can forgive your previous insolence,
00:52:24and even reinstate you as vice president.
00:52:28Logan,
00:52:29I have no interest in that position anymore.
00:52:31I spent five years by your side as a substitute,
00:52:33handling countless shady bad debts for you,
00:52:35and even took a bullet for Elena.
00:52:37The debts I owed have long been paid off.
00:52:38We are even now.
00:52:40Paid off?
00:52:41You can never repay what you owe me in this lifetime.
00:52:43Ava,
00:52:43as long as I haven't grown tired of you,
00:52:45you will always be my accessory.
00:52:47Come with me.
00:52:48Chairman Logan,
00:52:48this is Liberty Finance,
00:52:50not your backyard garden.
00:52:51Let her go.
00:52:52Who do you think you are,
00:52:53daring to cause problem at Liberty Finance
00:52:55and lay hands on our partner?
00:52:57I recognize him now.
00:52:58Hear this,
00:52:58the Vanderbilt Z-Twin famous dorned on Logan.
00:53:01I heard he plants a ginsess,
00:53:03by Neneas fuel social Elena from Inagov,
00:53:05causing core projects to blow up one after other.
00:53:08Now Vanderbilt has decayed on a load on Wall Street
00:53:11and on the verge of punctuation.
00:53:12I heard Miss Ava poured her heart and soul
00:53:13into their company for five years
00:53:15and he actually kicked her out for a pretty face.
00:53:17Now that the company is in ruins,
00:53:18he remembers to come begging for our Miss Ava.
00:53:20Pure karma.
00:53:21He didn't recognize Ava's financial genius back then
00:53:23and now that he's going bankrupt,
00:53:24he thinks he can come crawling back?
00:53:26Dream on.
00:53:28Shut up.
00:53:30What do you bottom-feeding insects know?
00:53:32I'm Ava's benefactor.
00:53:33I was the one who pulled her out of the mud.
00:53:35Ava,
00:53:36you owe me a debt you can never repay in this lifetime.
00:53:38This is between us.
00:53:40Outsiders have no right to interfere.
00:53:42Come back with me to settle this debt.
00:53:43Logan,
00:53:44I'm telling you for the last time,
00:53:45there's no way I'm going back with you.
00:53:47From the second I walked out of that villa,
00:53:49that absurd five years between us
00:53:51was already completely dead.
00:53:53Ava,
00:53:53how dare you speak to me in that tone?
00:53:56Who gave you the nerve to defy me?
00:54:06You,
00:54:07how dare you hit me?
00:54:12Logan,
00:54:13it's true that you helped A financially in the beginning
00:54:15and that was a kindness,
00:54:17but that doesn't mean she sold herself to you for life.
00:54:19This slap is payback for the humiliation
00:54:21and games you put her through over these five years.
00:54:24As long as I'm here,
00:54:25you don't have the right to lay a fend on her ever again.
00:54:29This slap
00:54:30is to reclaim the dignity Ava lost over these five years.
00:54:35Liam,
00:54:36you...
00:54:36Ava,
00:54:37today is a day for celebration.
00:54:39There's no need to these paths that easing buried in the grave infect your mead.
00:54:43As the company's greatest contributor,
00:54:45I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to dinner tonight.
00:54:48Wow,
00:54:49is Chairman Liam going to confess publicly?
00:54:51I heard Liam has had a crush on Miss Ava since their Yale University days.
00:54:55That look in his eyes is impossible to hide.
00:54:57The heir of a top-tar family dynasty paired with the Queen of Finance?
00:55:01Now that's a true power couple.
00:55:03Ava,
00:55:03I've reserved a table at the top-reloving restaurant tonight.
00:55:07Come with me.
00:55:09Ava,
00:55:10since when have you had the guts to refuse my invitation?
00:55:13I'm sorry, Liam.
00:55:15I can't have dinner with you.
00:55:17Why?
00:55:18I knew it.
00:55:19This woman was my shadow for five years.
00:55:22That ingrained sense of inferiority can't be changed.
00:55:25She simply doesn't dare to defy me.
00:55:29Because I promised to treat the entire company to a celebration party this afternoon.
00:55:35What?
00:55:36You'd rather spend time with these knollers than with me?
00:55:39Don't worry, Ava.
00:55:41I've already arranged the hotel suite and champagne for the staff.
00:55:44As for you,
00:55:45you're the brightest star tonight,
00:55:47and I must personally celebrate your success.
00:55:49All right,
00:55:50let's go then.
00:55:52Ava,
00:55:53I'm standing right in front of you,
00:55:54and you dare to go on a date with another man right in front of me?
00:55:57Do you even see me as your fiancée anymore?
00:55:59Logan, let me correct you on two points.
00:56:02First,
00:56:02your fiancée is named Elena,
00:56:04and I'm just your former executive.
00:56:06Second,
00:56:06I've settled all our old debts.
00:56:08There's nothing between us anymore.
00:56:10Ava,
00:56:11take one step and see what happens.
00:56:16Hey,
00:56:16this outdated chairman,
00:56:18you can't go over there.
00:56:19Our Ava is busy on a date with her true love.
00:56:21What are you trying to do?
00:56:22Want to be a thousand-watt light bulb?
00:56:30Ava,
00:56:31it prumens while the Pendwen has never be wrong.
00:56:34Since you took over,
00:56:35we've successfully acquired three core projects in a row.
00:56:38With this glass of top-screet Ace of Spains,
00:56:42I toast to the soul of our Liberty Financial.
00:56:46Liam,
00:56:46you're too kind.
00:56:48Without everyone's round-the-clock cooperation,
00:56:50I alone couldn't have pulled off an operation of this scale.
00:56:53Ava,
00:56:53to be honest,
00:56:54before you joined us,
00:56:55we were just burning through investors' money every day,
00:56:58almost hitting rock bottom.
00:56:59Yeah,
00:57:00if Ava hadn't joined and led us to this turnaround victory,
00:57:02this dinner tonight would probably be our farewell party.
00:57:05Don't talk nonsense.
00:57:06With Ava,
00:57:07our blueprint has just begun.
00:57:09To the future queen of Wall Street,
00:57:11bottoms up.
00:57:13Ava,
00:57:13haven't you noticed?
00:57:14You and our chairman,
00:57:16Liam,
00:57:16standing together are practically the textbook example of a top-tier Chibon couple.
00:57:20Exactly.
00:57:21Ever since Ava joined,
00:57:23I've never seen Chairman Liam sober.
00:57:24His eyes are always full of pink bubbles.
00:57:27Can't all this premium steak shut you up?
00:57:29We agreed tonight.
00:57:31No one leaves until we're drunk.
00:57:33And whoever leaves first pays the bill.
00:57:41Oh, Ava,
00:57:42I can't go on.
00:57:43I'm seeing double.
00:57:45Chairman Liam is in your capable hands now.
00:57:48Right, right.
00:57:48My mom told me to go home for a late-night snack.
00:57:50If I'm late,
00:57:51she'll confiscate my credit card.
00:57:52The sacred mission of Escortijon falls to you.
00:57:55Hey,
00:57:57you bunch of traitors.
00:58:09Take it easy.
00:58:10You really should lose some weight,
00:58:12big guy.
00:58:26This is a photo of me from my university days?
00:58:32Damn it.
00:58:33I forgot to hide this in crimine of evidence.
00:58:43Weren't you so drunk you could barely walk?
00:58:46I was a bit dizzy just now,
00:58:48but seeing this photo,
00:58:50I suddenly sobered up.
00:58:52How do you have a photo of me from my junior year?
00:58:55Back then,
00:58:56you were the star of the Yale football team,
00:58:58and I was just a part-time working student,
00:58:59practically invisible.
00:59:01Because long before that football game,
00:59:03I had already been watching you.
00:59:11Too expensive.
00:59:12That's enough for two months of my living expenses.
00:59:17I knew your family had gone bankrupt,
00:59:19and you were burdened with huge student loans.
00:59:21You could only save every penny
00:59:23to buy those obscure professional books.
00:59:37Back then,
00:59:38you only had eyes for Logan,
00:59:40the one who took you out of the slums.
00:59:43I was afraid of disturbing your happiness,
00:59:45so I could only hide my identity
00:59:48and silently help you in this clumsy way.
00:59:50After graduating from university,
00:59:52I knew you went to Logan's company out of gratitude.
00:59:55I watched you choose a path you didn't like,
00:59:57watched you step back for his ambitions,
01:00:00and grow into the top elite step by step.
01:00:03No one knows how much you sacrificed,
01:00:05but I do.
01:00:06I know your heart was just broken by Logan.
01:00:09Five years of youth traded for betrayal.
01:00:15I know you can't fall in love with someone else right away,
01:00:17but I'm willing to wait.
01:00:20As long as you can walk out of that darkness,
01:00:23even if you treat me as Tia for Logan,
01:00:25I'm willing.
01:00:27Liam,
01:00:28I'm sorry,
01:00:29I can't agree to that.
01:00:43Liam,
01:00:44I'm sorry,
01:00:45I can't agree to your proposal just now.
01:00:48I was too impatient,
01:00:50Ava.
01:00:50If you feel pressured,
01:00:52we can just be business partners.
01:00:54Long as I can be by your side,
01:00:55I'm willing to do anything.
01:00:57I mean this shit.
01:00:59I don't need you to be anyone tea-tight.
01:01:01Liam,
01:01:02you are you.
01:01:03The one and only bright spot in my life.
01:01:05I'm no longer that humble steeder.
01:01:08Start a day.
01:01:09We'll bunida forget someone to kaishin mushan.
01:01:13So,
01:01:14does that mean we...
01:01:17Of course.
01:01:18I've always known it was you who silently helped me,
01:01:21but at that age,
01:01:22when I couldn't even hold on to my dignity,
01:01:25I couldn't give you any response.
01:01:27Not until I walked into Liberty Financial.
01:01:30I met that boy whose eyes were full of me once again.
01:01:40I heard that you were at the Vanderbilt Group.
01:01:42You were known as Drink Thousand Bay.
01:01:45Thank you, and the bomb Logan will cover that bet.
01:01:47You dollar in a swinch,
01:01:48you down your health bot shots.
01:01:51If you drink these eight glasses today,
01:01:53this deal goes to Liberty Financial.
01:01:55Yeah, let us witness the drinking capacity of this financial queen.
01:02:01Black,
01:02:01if my partner needs to trade her life for a contract,
01:02:04then this deal isn't worth it.
01:02:06Ava, let's go.
01:02:12Liam,
01:02:13I'm willing to be your girlfriend.
01:02:15From now on,
01:02:16I will love you,
01:02:16cherish you,
01:02:17and protect you.
01:02:18Let's work hard together to build a real home
01:02:20that belongs to us in this cold city.
01:02:22Ava,
01:02:24you're not just saying that to make me happy?
01:02:25I choose to be with you for no complicated reason.
01:02:29Simply because
01:02:30I've also been hopelessly in love with you for a long time.
01:02:34I'm so happy, Ava.
01:02:35I feel like all the sunlight in the world has brightened at this moment.
01:02:55See you tomorrow, Ava.
01:02:56Have a pleasant evening.
01:02:58See you tomorrow.
01:03:07Where are you going?
01:03:08Get in the car.
01:03:09I'll give you a ride.
01:03:10Logan,
01:03:11who exactly are you performing these childish tricks for?
01:03:15Ava,
01:03:15I didn't handle things properly back then.
01:03:18I shouldn't have let you take the fall for that damn charge to protect Elena's reputation,
01:03:23forcing you to resign and leave the company.
01:03:25The position of vice president at the Vanderbilt Group,
01:03:27I've kept it for you.
01:03:29The room that belongs to you at home,
01:03:31I've had it cleaned.
01:03:33Just say the word,
01:03:34and you can come back anytime.
01:03:36We can start over.
01:03:39Logan,
01:03:40I'm curious.
01:03:41Who gave you the confidence to think that I would give up my position as a global partner
01:03:45at Liberty Financial to return to your nearly-brancropped Vanderbilt Group,
01:03:49just to be a vice-vectresser you can summon and dismiss at will?
01:03:55What are you talking about?
01:03:58And what makes you think
01:03:59that keeping that dark,
01:04:01damp,
01:04:02uninhabitable servant's room in your house for me
01:04:05is some great favor?
01:04:08Logan,
01:04:09stop wasting your time on me.
01:04:11Your persistence only makes me think less of you.
01:04:16Ava,
01:04:17since you have no feelings for me,
01:04:20I've prepared a better gift for you.
01:04:22I'm sure you'll like it.
01:04:31This is the place.
01:04:32Who exactly is this mysterious investor?
01:04:39Miss Ava,
01:04:40I presume?
01:04:41This way,
01:04:41please.
01:04:42Your table is ready.
01:04:43Is there a proposal happening here today?
01:04:45Something like that.
01:04:46A gentleman is preparing the most romantic surprise for you.
01:04:49Miss Ava,
01:04:49please take a seat first.
01:04:56So it's Ava that Logan wants to confess to.
01:04:59I'll mix that disfigurating potent patient into the red wine.
01:05:02Ava,
01:05:02this is what you get for stealing my man.
01:05:04Ava,
01:05:05you've really come to your end.
01:05:12It's you!
01:05:21so the mysterious investor who anonymously requested a meeting for cooperation is you.
01:05:25To be precise,
01:05:26it's the who wants to beg on his knees to cooperate.
01:05:28Ava,
01:05:29don't go.
01:05:29Give me five minutes.
01:05:30I said the wrong thing at the summit entrance to noon.
01:05:32That wasn't what I truly meant.
01:05:36Just say yes,
01:05:37and you'll be the Vanderbilt Group's sole representative in North America.
01:05:40The $50 million mansion in Manhattan,
01:05:42all the trust funds in my name,
01:05:44they'll all have your signature on them.
01:05:45Let's go back to how we were before.
01:05:47Back to when I only had you,
01:05:48okay?
01:05:50Ever since you left,
01:05:52everything has spiraled out of control for me.
01:05:54Why do those difficult shareholders and partners only recognize you?
01:05:58Ava,
01:05:58where are you?
01:06:00Only now do I realize that all my external success was because of you.
01:06:04It was only after the day you left me that I realized just how important you were to me.
01:06:08Ava,
01:06:09pour me a cup of coffee.
01:06:11I got used to working late nights with the coffee you brought me.
01:06:14Used to you handling all my troubles.
01:06:16Without you,
01:06:17my world is just gray.
01:06:22Ava,
01:06:23I really can't live without you.
01:06:24For God's sake,
01:06:25come back to me.
01:06:26Logan,
01:06:27I've been by your side for so long.
01:06:28Have you ever respected me?
01:06:30Have you ever cared about me?
01:06:32I admit,
01:06:33I owe you a debt of gratitude.
01:06:34But these past five years,
01:06:36I've already repaid it.
01:06:37You don't need to put on this act of deep affection for the sake of your pathetic possessiveness.
01:06:42Don't be so distant with me,
01:06:43Ava.
01:06:44Let's start over,
01:06:45like before.
01:06:46Let me spoil you again,
01:06:47okay?
01:06:48Don't you think you look like a child right now?
01:06:50Ava,
01:06:50listen to me.
01:06:51I'm not angry that you left Vanderbilt five years ago,
01:06:53really.
01:06:53I just think,
01:06:54those unpleasant things are in the past now.
01:06:56Since it's all in the past,
01:06:58Chairman Logan,
01:06:58there's no need to lower yourself by bringing up old debts.
01:07:01The current distance is good for both of us.
01:07:04I've already humbled myself and apologized to you.
01:07:06Isn't that enough for you?
01:07:07I don't need your apology,
01:07:08and I have no interest playing hard to get with you.
01:07:11You should be more worried about your white moonlight.
01:07:13Won't Elena go crazy if she finds out you came to see me so publicly today?
01:07:17Don't mention her.
01:07:18We,
01:07:19we've broken up.
01:07:22Ava,
01:07:23you bitch.
01:07:24If it weren't for you setting me up and making me lose my vice president position,
01:07:27if it weren't for you,
01:07:28I would have long secured my place as Mrs. Vanderbilt.
01:07:31Look at what I've been reduced to now.
01:07:32I will make you pay a hundredfold.
01:07:35I've broken up and gotten back together with her countless times this past year,
01:07:38and I finally realized she's not the innocent girl I fell in love with at Yale back then.
01:07:42She's like a lunadeck.
01:07:43Every time I neglect her,
01:07:44she tries everything to hurt herself,
01:07:45even resorting to using her body.
01:07:47Such a cheap way to win me back.
01:07:49I'm really tired.
01:07:50Logan,
01:07:50I have zero interest in the low-level love-hate drama between you two.
01:07:54If you ask me out just to vent these emotional grievance,
01:07:56then I'm afraid I must excuse myself.
01:07:58Ava,
01:07:59stop acting like a child.
01:08:00Since we're both single,
01:08:01why don't we give a proper relationship a try?
01:08:03I only used to see her as a substitute,
01:08:06but if I really make her my official girlfriend,
01:08:08a queen of finance like her,
01:08:10she would be overwhelmed with gratitude and accept me.
01:08:13Give me a chance.
01:08:14Be my girlfriend.
01:08:16I'm sorry,
01:08:17Chairman Logan.
01:08:18I have a husband,
01:08:19and what he gives me is always the best.
01:08:22What?
01:08:23What did you say?
01:08:27Ava,
01:08:27this is impossible.
01:08:28All of New York knows you used to be madly in love with me.
01:08:31How could you possibly love someone else?
01:08:33This must be your way of getting back at me.
01:08:34The ring is fake?
01:08:35Your marriage is fake,
01:08:36right?
01:08:37Logan,
01:08:38your arrogance is as nauseating as ever.
01:08:41Put it there and get out,
01:08:42Ava.
01:08:42Don't think doing something will earn you my love.
01:08:45You're just a well-behaved bitch I keep.
01:08:47Understand?
01:08:48So he always knew.
01:08:50He always knew how much the old Ava loved him,
01:08:52yet he took everything I gave for granted.
01:08:54Just because of that sponsorship back then,
01:08:56he treated me like a lowly slave,
01:08:58summoning and dismissed me at Willie.
01:09:03All right,
01:09:04I know you're still angry with me.
01:09:06Is it because I made you take the blame for Elena's mistake all those years ago?
01:09:10Or because I made you move out of the villa?
01:09:12I'm not angry with you.
01:09:13It's just that all of that is in the past now.
01:09:16Listen,
01:09:16you can drop the act with that so-called contract boyfriend.
01:09:19I've completely broken things off with Elena.
01:09:21My patience is limited,
01:09:22Ava.
01:09:23Stop making a scene.
01:09:24I can give you a proper title.
01:09:25We can officially be boyfriend and girlfriend.
01:09:27Breaking up?
01:09:28Logan,
01:09:29you want to dump me for this bitch?
01:09:31If I can't have you,
01:09:33no one will.
01:09:35Logan,
01:09:35take back your cheap charity.
01:09:38I've already told you,
01:09:39I have a husband,
01:09:40and he's 10,000 times better than you.
01:09:43There will never be a place for you in my world again.
01:09:46Tomorrow,
01:09:47I'm leaving New York for Los Angeles.
01:09:50We won't be seeing each other again.
01:09:52Leaving?
01:09:53You can't possibly refuse me.
01:09:56I know it.
01:09:57You must have found another so-called boyfriend to trick me again,
01:10:01just like before.
01:10:04Oh,
01:10:09oh,
01:10:10oh,
01:10:14It's you?
01:10:15Ava,
01:10:16you're still trying to seduce my husband?
01:10:18You vicious woman,
01:10:20won't you be satisfied until you've driven me to my death?
01:10:23Me seducing your husband?
01:10:25What a joke.
01:10:26Everyone,
01:10:27come and look at this bitch.
01:10:28She used to cling to me and my husband
01:10:30like a stubborn piece of gum that wouldn't come off.
01:10:32Later,
01:10:33to climb the ladder,
01:10:34she shamelessly became Logan's secret mistress for five years,
01:10:37stubbornly staying in the villa
01:10:39and refusing to leave no matter what.
01:10:40Now Logan and I are about to get married
01:10:42and she actually comes back to harass us
01:10:44like a persistent low-class woman.
01:10:47Do you have any shame left?
01:10:49She looks so well-dressed,
01:10:51actually professional homewrecker.
01:10:53You really see all kinds of people these days.
01:10:56Women who get ahead through improper means
01:10:58have hearts as black as can be.
01:10:59You all be the judge.
01:11:02It's this woman who stole my vice president position
01:11:06and took everything from me.
01:11:07Now that I'm down and out,
01:11:09she comes back flaunting her designer clothes?
01:11:12Ava,
01:11:12why don't you just die,
01:11:13you evil woman?
01:11:15Let him go.
01:11:28You,
01:11:29you bitch,
01:11:30how dare you hit me?
01:11:31Since you love smearing me with dirt so much,
01:11:33this slap is what you deserve.
01:11:36Say one more word
01:11:37and I'll make you suffer a terrible death.
01:11:42Elena,
01:11:43I don't care what kind of dirty entanglement
01:11:45you still have with Logan.
01:11:47That's your business.
01:11:48Stay away from me from now on.
01:11:51Ava,
01:11:52since you've Aldi rolled out of New York
01:11:54and out of my sight,
01:11:55why do you have to come like a haunting ghost?
01:11:57Elena,
01:11:58don't assume everyone is like you,
01:12:00only capable of clinging to a man.
01:12:01Stop pretending.
01:12:03You came back because you still love Logan
01:12:04and can't let go of his power and influence, right?
01:12:07So now you want to come and humbly be his secret mistress again,
01:12:10just like before,
01:12:11don't you?
01:12:11I won't accept a single word of your slander.
01:12:14I'm here for work.
01:12:15I have my own family and life.
01:12:17As for you,
01:12:18Elena,
01:12:18that pure,
01:12:19selfless,
01:12:19and above-worldy desire's
01:12:21white moonlight persona
01:12:22you've meticulously built it for five years
01:12:24has completely crumbled to dust
01:12:25in front of Logan.
01:12:27Since you messed it up yourself,
01:12:29you should figure out a way
01:12:31to beg for his forgiveness yourself.
01:12:34Why come to take it out
01:12:35on an innocent me?
01:12:37I have no obligation
01:12:38to help a woman like you
01:12:39keep a man who's changed his heart.
01:12:43You bitch!
01:12:44Shut up!
01:12:53Logan!
01:12:54Why are you so cold to me?
01:12:56You won't even answer my calls?
01:12:58Is it all because of this woman?
01:13:00It's Ava who ruined the future
01:13:01we were supposed to have, isn't it?
01:13:03Elena, wake up.
01:13:04Ava never clung to me.
01:13:06She even finds the thought
01:13:07of seeing me repulsive.
01:13:08Everyone listen up.
01:13:10Elena and I are completely over.
01:13:12So they broke up a long time ago?
01:13:13Then what's this woman doing here
01:13:16pretending to be the rightful white?
01:13:17No.
01:13:18Impossible.
01:13:19Why?
01:13:21Logan, you loved me so much back at Yale.
01:13:23You were even willing to defy
01:13:24your entire family for me.
01:13:25Why don't you love me anymore?
01:13:27Back then, funding you,
01:13:29even putting you in a high position,
01:13:32perhaps is all because I'm too arrogant.
01:13:35Perhaps what I loved before
01:13:36was just an illusion.
01:13:38A shadow I thought was real.
01:13:41After leaving Ava
01:13:42during countless sleepless nights,
01:13:45I realized that I truly love
01:13:47is actually...
01:13:50Logan, you can't leave.
01:13:51You can't just kick me out like this.
01:13:53Get out of my sight immediately.
01:13:54Otherwise, I won't mind
01:13:55making you disappear
01:13:56from all of New York.
01:13:56Security, drag this crazy woman out.
01:13:58No, Logan, Ava, you bitch.
01:14:00I won't let you get away with this.
01:14:02I am the only one fit
01:14:03to be Mrs. Vanderbilt.
01:14:05Ava, I'm sorry.
01:14:07Logan, we're even now.
01:14:08There's no one
01:14:09who owes anyone an apology.
01:14:10No, Ava.
01:14:12I want to tell you,
01:14:13I love you.
01:14:15It wasn't until you disappeared
01:14:16from my sight that I realized
01:14:17you are the one I love most
01:14:19in this life.
01:14:20Really?
01:14:21Back then, you liked Elena.
01:14:23You always took my efforts
01:14:24for granted,
01:14:25treated me like your slave.
01:14:26It's only now,
01:14:27after you've been together
01:14:28and grown tired
01:14:29of her despicable tricks,
01:14:30that you remember my good points.
01:14:31That's not true.
01:14:32Ava, it wasn't until
01:14:33I officially dated her
01:14:34that I realized
01:14:35how good you are.
01:14:37I started thinking
01:14:37about you like crazy,
01:14:39remembering every late night
01:14:40you stayed up with me,
01:14:41remembering that only you
01:14:42understood my ambitions.
01:14:43I couldn't see my own heart
01:14:45clearly before.
01:14:46It wasn't until I lost you
01:14:47that I understood
01:14:47the one I truly love is you.
01:14:49Ava, let's start over.
01:14:50Give us a real try, okay?
01:14:53Logan, I'm telling you
01:14:54for the last time,
01:14:55I'm already married.
01:14:58Married?
01:15:00Ava, you must be lying to me.
01:15:01Just like when you found
01:15:02a fake boyfriend in college
01:15:04to make me jealous, right?
01:15:05You must still have feelings for me.
01:15:07Otherwise,
01:15:07why would you go through
01:15:08all this trouble
01:15:09to make up such an absurd lie
01:15:10to deceive me?
01:15:12Logan,
01:15:13if you lay another hand
01:15:14on my wife,
01:15:15don't blame me
01:15:16for being polite.
01:15:17Let me introduce you.
01:15:18This is my husband, Liam,
01:15:20the global chairman
01:15:21of Liberty Financial.
01:15:22Husband,
01:15:24Liam,
01:15:25this can't be.
01:15:27How could this happen?
01:15:28Honey,
01:15:29this is Mr. Logan,
01:15:30the benefactor I mentioned before
01:15:31who supported me
01:15:32at Yale University
01:15:33and also my former friend.
01:15:35Mr. Logan,
01:15:36I've heard so much about you.
01:15:37My wife mentions you often.
01:15:42Enough!
01:15:43Ava, you're quite the actress.
01:15:45To make me give up completely,
01:15:46you even hired a stand-in,
01:15:48didn't you?
01:15:48Stop lying to me!
01:15:50You can only marry me!
01:15:51How could you marry someone else?
01:15:53Logan,
01:15:53I really want to thank you
01:15:54for your past support of Ava.
01:15:56Without your generosity back then,
01:15:58I wouldn't have had the chance
01:15:59to meet such a perfect wife.
01:16:01If the Vanderbilt group
01:16:02ever needs anything from me
01:16:03in the future,
01:16:04I'll be your service
01:16:05as a way for my wife
01:16:06to repay your kindness.
01:16:08Logan,
01:16:08although I'm grateful
01:16:09for your support,
01:16:10it's really getting late.
01:16:11We have to catch our private jet
01:16:13back to Harbor City tomorrow,
01:16:14so we won't keep you any longer.
01:16:16Honey,
01:16:17let's go.
01:16:19Ava,
01:16:19are you really
01:16:21leaving tomorrow?
01:16:22Are you really going to
01:16:23leave my world completely?
01:16:25Yes.
01:16:26Goodbye, Mr. Logan.
01:16:27Again.
01:16:31Bye.
01:16:38Bye.
01:16:40Bye.
01:16:44Bye.
01:16:47Bye.
01:16:49Bye.
01:16:52Bye.
01:17:01Honey, it's so early. Where are you going?
01:17:03Did I wake you?
01:17:06Be good, I'm gonna get you breakfast.
01:17:12So diligent.
01:17:13Didn't you keep saying yesterday how much you liked the burgers here?
01:17:17Today's our last day here.
01:17:19I can't let you go back to Los Angeles with regrets, right?
01:17:23Thank you, honey. Come back soon.
01:17:30Honey, I'll personally take care of ending your troubles for you.
01:17:42So, what do you want to see me about?
01:17:4830 million dollars.
01:17:52Take this money and leave Ava for good.
01:17:54A woman at the pinnacle of finance like her is not someone an ordinary man like you, who relies on
01:17:59his looks, can aspire to.
01:18:00This money is enough for you to squagger for the rest of your life.
01:18:03Name your price and stay away from her.
01:18:10You're telling me to leave Ava.
01:18:14What, not enough?
01:18:16Liam, don't play the top-tier tycoon in front of me.
01:18:19I've looked into you.
01:18:21Back at Yale University, you were just a poor student, barely scraping by on scholarships and part-time works.
01:18:27That ingrained poverty-straken air about you, you can't wash it off no matter how many suits you change into.
01:18:37For someone like you, who's already bankrupt and can't even afford the liquidation bills, these 30 million dollars are indeed
01:18:44enough for you to live like a nouveau riche in the slums for the rest of your life.
01:18:50You still only know how to measure everything with this filthy money.
01:18:54Ava choosing you is truly blind.
01:19:00Talking to me about money?
01:19:03Logan, back then you treated Ava as a substitute for Elena, summoning her at will and dismissing her just as
01:19:09easily.
01:19:10With those pitiful so-called funding resources and a few charity black cards, you actually thought you could buy out
01:19:16her entire five years of use and dignity.
01:19:19The moment you pushed her out to take the fall for that woman and left her to fend for herself
01:19:25in the rain,
01:19:25you completely lost the right to stand here and talk about her in that tone with me.
01:19:39What are you doing?
01:19:41Who gave you permission to touch my things?
01:19:43This is the Vanderbilt Group!
01:19:45Mr. Logan, we're finished.
01:19:46Because of those shell company guarantee slips Elena signed,
01:19:48plus the FBI case against her for selling sub-batter construction equipment privately,
01:19:52the court declared us officially bankrupt an hour ago.
01:19:54Bankrupt's impossible.
01:19:55When Ava was here, we were still the financial leader of Manhattan.
01:19:58How long has it been?
01:19:58How could we possibly go bankrupt?
01:20:00Get out!
01:20:01Don't touch my assets!
01:20:02This is my empire!
01:20:03Mr. Logan, please keep your distance.
01:20:05The liquidation process has already begun.
01:20:07If you continue to interfere with official duties, we will be forced to take action.
01:20:15I'm such a fool.
01:20:17Ava was clearly the one holding up the empire,
01:20:19and I kicked her out of the company to protect that useless waste, Elena.
01:20:32Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.
01:20:34She is my chosen future wife, and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.
01:20:44Fine.
01:20:46This one last time.
01:20:48I'll take the bullet for you one last time.
01:20:51If Ava were still here, the company wouldn't have collapsed.
01:20:55I'd still be that arrogant CEO.
01:20:58Now it's all gone.
01:20:59Logan, I have no interest in that position anymore.
01:21:02I spent five years by your side as a substitute,
01:21:04handling countless shady bad debts for you,
01:21:06and even took a bullet for Elena.
01:21:07The debts I owed have long been paid off.
01:21:09We are even now.
01:21:10I always felt that she owed me something,
01:21:12and that all the sacrifices she made were deserved.
01:21:14I was wrong.
01:21:15Ridiculously wrong.
01:21:20Chairman,
01:21:21I personally spent half a month in Silicon Valley
01:21:23to coach this sales genius, Carter.
01:21:26With him on board,
01:21:28no one can touch Vanderbilt's market share in North America.
01:21:31This man's background is indeed clean and formidable.
01:21:36And these offshore projects,
01:21:38I've been tracking them for two years.
01:21:40I've pinzily done all the risk assessments.
01:21:42As long as I'm here,
01:21:44none of your decisions will go wrong.
01:21:46If Ava were still by my side,
01:21:48I'd still be that top heir surrounded by admirers.
01:21:52She would have handled all the trouble.
01:21:56It wasn't until today that I realized
01:21:58the person who loved me most in this world
01:22:00was actually destroyed by my own hands.
01:22:07What is Elena?
01:22:08She's not even one ten thousandths of Ava.
01:22:11I've lost the most precious treasure in the world.
01:22:13No, I can't give up like this.
01:22:15I believe Ava still loves me.
01:22:17I have to find her, win her back.
01:22:19Ava!
01:22:20Don't go!
01:22:21Ava!
01:22:22Young man,
01:22:23you've got some nerve blocking my car.
01:22:24But you are quite a looker.
01:22:26I just got rid of my last boy toy, you know.
01:22:28If you behave,
01:22:29I might just take you under my wing.
01:22:32Get away from me!
01:22:33Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!
01:22:35Get lost!
01:22:37A down and out loser putting on airs?
01:22:39You don't know what's good for you.
01:22:47What's wrong?
01:22:50Nothing.
01:22:50I just remembered a really good restaurant.
01:22:53Let me take you there.
01:22:54Sure.
01:23:00You order first.
01:23:01I'm going to the restroom.
01:23:03Okay.
01:23:19Hello, this is the chairman of Vanderbilt.
01:23:21Who is this?
01:23:22This is Liam,
01:23:23Chairman of Liberty Financial.
01:23:25Mr. Liam.
01:23:26What can I do for you with this sudden call?
01:23:28I think you should discipline your son Logan properly.
01:23:32Ava is my wife now,
01:23:33my beloved.
01:23:34And your son has been acting like a madman these past few days.
01:23:37Severely disrupting our family life.
01:23:40Even daring to challenge my bottom line.
01:23:44I understand what you mean.
01:23:45I understand what you mean.
01:23:46I'll handle it.
01:23:57Hey, dad.
01:23:58You bastard.
01:23:58Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:24:01Ava is now the wife of Liam,
01:24:02the founder of the global financial giant Liberty Financial,
01:24:06a chairman worth hundreds of billions.
01:24:08Listen, if you want to keep your life,
01:24:11get your ass home right now.
01:24:12Otherwise, I'll announce today that I'm stripping you of all your inheritance rights,
01:24:17and you're out of the Vanderbilt family for good.
01:24:21What?
01:24:22Liam, is that mysterious mastermind behind Liberty?
01:24:26Impossible.
01:24:27Absolutely impossible.
01:24:28That man who just seemed to buy breakfast and take care of kids for Ava
01:24:31is actually the titan who holds the global financial lifeline worth hundreds of billions?
01:24:35I actually,
01:24:36I actually dared to think I could,
01:24:38with a mere 30 million dollars,
01:24:40what the hell have I done?
01:24:56Elena,
01:24:56if that loser Logan knew you were keeping a man in his marital bed,
01:25:00wouldn't he go crazy on the spot?
01:25:03He's busy dealing with the FBI's bankruptcy investigation right now.
01:25:07How could he have the time to care about me?
01:25:09You're really ruthless.
01:25:10You emptied his overseas accounts,
01:25:12brought down his Vanderbilt group,
01:25:13and yet you secured a 50 million dollar escape route for yourself.
01:25:17I do love this foolish man,
01:25:18but I only love his money.
01:25:19Now that he has no more use value,
01:25:21of course I need to find someone younger and more obedient.
01:25:23Elena,
01:25:24what are you doing?
01:25:27Have you no shame,
01:25:29messing around in my villa,
01:25:31on my bed?
01:25:32You heartless woman!
01:25:34I was truly blind back then,
01:25:36to have abandoned Ava for someone like you.
01:25:40Logan,
01:25:41have you lost your mind?
01:25:43I just brought a friend back to have some fun.
01:25:45Is it worth getting so worked up over?
01:25:47You're my fiancé,
01:25:49you're using my money to support other men,
01:25:51and you expect me not to be angry?
01:25:52Stop pretending to be so devoted.
01:25:54Back at Yale,
01:25:55I changed men every day,
01:25:56all funded by the money you gave me.
01:25:58Did you really think I loved you?
01:25:59I loved the Vanderbilt family behind you,
01:26:01the one that could buy me her mess,
01:26:03and get me to the Grammy Awards.
01:26:04Logan,
01:26:04this guy's a broke,
01:26:05debt-rended bankrupt up now.
01:26:06There's no need for us to waste words on him.
01:26:08You swindled all my money,
01:26:09and ruined the company!
01:26:10I'm going to send you to prison!
01:26:12Black has already helped me transfer the money out.
01:26:14He's my true love now,
01:26:16your history.
01:26:21I used to fawn over you like a dog
01:26:23because you were supporting me.
01:26:25Now you're not even as good as a stray dog.
01:26:28What do you think you are?
01:26:32I paid for your college.
01:26:34I paid for you to come back and be vice president.
01:26:36For you,
01:26:37Ava left.
01:26:37My company is gone.
01:26:39How could you do this to me?
01:26:40That's because you were willing to be the sucker.
01:26:43Who's to blame for your stupidity?
01:26:45Now you don't have a single penny left.
01:26:47What gives you the right to tell me what to do?
01:26:49Black,
01:26:50let's go.
01:26:50This place reeks of sour failure.
01:26:52Let's find another hotel to continue.
01:26:54You got it.
01:26:56I'll make sure to serve my queen well today.
01:26:58Stop!
01:26:59Give back all the money you swindled from me.
01:27:01Every single cent I ever spent on you.
01:27:04Dream on.
01:27:05That's the compensation you owe me for my youth.
01:27:07Get lost.
01:27:09Ava,
01:27:09I was wrong.
01:27:10It turns out you were the only one in this world
01:27:12who truly cared for me
01:27:13and I lost the woman who loved me most in life.
01:27:15Elena,
01:27:17you ruined me.
01:27:18And I swear I won't let you get away with it.
01:27:32Ava,
01:27:33I just received news from Hei Cheng.
01:27:34The Vanderbilt Group has been completely liquidated
01:27:37due to the failure of several fatal gambling agreements,
01:27:39plus the major engineering accident
01:27:41caused by the batch of construction equipment
01:27:43Elena was responsible for.
01:27:44Hmm.
01:27:45Aren't you the least bit curious?
01:27:48Without you,
01:27:49the anchor that held everything together,
01:27:50that empire once hailed as unsinkable
01:27:53has collapsed so quickly.
01:27:54It's not surprising at all.
01:27:56From the moment I walked out of that office,
01:27:59Logan and his company have been nothing
01:28:00but a moldy old debt in my life.
01:28:02If it's trash,
01:28:04it's only a matter of time before it gets cleaned up.
01:28:06There's something even more interesting.
01:28:08Logan,
01:28:09driven by extreme hatred
01:28:10because Elena took his last life string
01:28:12and publicly humiliated him,
01:28:14killed Elena on the streets of Manhattan.
01:28:16He's facing the most severe charges.
01:28:21He has only himself to blame for falling to the state.
01:28:24For loving a poison he shouldn't have.
01:28:26But the people and things in that ruin
01:28:27have nothing to do with me anymore.
01:28:29All I want now is to build our life well.
01:28:31Right.
01:28:34But tonight,
01:28:35we have an important topic to discuss.
01:28:39I haven't heard about any meeting tonight.
01:28:41The topic I'm talking about
01:28:43is how many lively and adorable little babies
01:28:46we're going to have.
