00:00:02I've been this man's mistress for five years. I loved him, but he only saw me as a substitute.

00:00:07I don't regret it, because those five years of humility were the debt I owed him.

00:00:15Elena's back in the country. Just landed. You need to leave this villa.

00:00:18Now?

00:00:19Immediately. Clean up any trace of you having lived here. I don't want her to know you slept here.

00:00:23Okay. Elena is back. My days as the substitute are finally over. I'm finally free.

00:00:30In our freshman year, both Elena and I were poor students living on scholarships.

00:00:34But with that innocent face of hers, she became the goddess of every man on campus, including the heir to

00:00:39a top-tier family, Logan.

00:00:41Elena, come to the Grammy Awards with me. Seats like these aren't something you can just buy with money.

00:00:45Sorry, I need to go to the library to study. Mr. Logan, your money can buy everything, but it can't

00:00:50buy my respect.

00:00:54You're broke too, right? Help me win her over. If she falls for me, I'll fund you.

00:00:58I knew Elena was just playing hard to get, but my father was hospitalized, and I was even about to

00:01:02drop out of school because of it.

00:01:03So I desperately needed that money to save him. Deal.

00:01:05Elena got a top-clear university offer to Cambridge funded by Logan, and I, I became her substitute.

00:01:12Logan's caged canori.

00:01:16They think I've been discarded, but I'll become the laughing-ass dame of the world.

00:01:24Miss Ava, Lucas, the chief of Operation Liberty Finance, been waiting for you for three hours, ready to sign the

00:01:28contract with you.

00:01:32Okay.

00:01:34Actually, the life that truly belongs to me is just beginning.

00:01:37Having broken free from the shackles of the debt of gratitude, I will become the queen of this world.

00:01:48Ava, it's been five years. Our CEO has been waiting for you to say yes.

00:01:52I'll book you a first-class ticket right now.

00:01:56All right, I'll head over now.

00:01:59Give me one more week. I still have some loose ends to tie up.

00:02:03You are a born queen of commerce.

00:02:05We await your leadership to make us a legend on Wall Street.

00:02:08Boss, great news. Ava signed.

00:02:11That genius girl who once ruled Wall Street is coming.

00:02:13Five years.

00:02:14I can finally see my light again.

00:02:21Ava, you're too slow. Can't you see Elena's hands are red from the shopping bags?

00:02:26Ava, I'm so sorry. These are just too heavy. I have to trouble you with them?

00:02:29It's no trouble at all. Happy to help.

00:02:31By the way, I found a woman's hair tie in Logan's bedroom. It wouldn't be yours, would it?

00:02:35Elena, don't talk nonsense. That was left by the cleaning staff.

00:02:38Ava moved out. After you left, how could she possibly be in my bedroom?

00:02:42Just kidding. Look how nervous you are.

00:02:43Justine Remichin. Ava, go line up for that limited edition item for us. Hurry up.

00:02:48Ava, Elena's quite conservative. I don't want her to hear any gossip about these five years.

00:02:52Trying to boyfriend meaty so Elena won't suspect anything.

00:02:54Fine. I'll find a suitable diversion.

00:02:59His real princess has returned. It's time for this substitute to exit Isaac's world.

00:03:07Sorry, I just got off the phone with an international headhunter.

00:03:10All the big companies want to pojic me.

00:03:12Of course they do. Here, try this. It's all your favorites.

00:03:16Ava, why aren't you touching your cutlery? This seafood was flown in fresh. It's very expensive.

00:03:20I'm not hungry.

00:03:21Oh, I remember now. You're allergic to seafood. Logan, should we change restaurants?

00:03:25No need. She said she's not hungry.

00:03:27He knows perfectly well I'm allergic to seafood, and he knows Elena chose this place on purpose.

00:03:31It seems he doesn't care about my feelings at all.

00:03:34Ava, I invited a few old classmates tonight. Welcome Elena back. She missed your home-cooked meals.

00:03:38Go back to the villa tonight and prepare you a feast.

00:03:39All right. Logan, Ava is, after all, the group's executive president. Isn't it inappropriate to her cook like a maid?

00:03:44What's inappropriate about it? Everything she has today is thanks to my support.

00:03:48As long as I ask, she wouldn't dare say no. Right, Ava?

00:03:51Yes, Mr. Logan.

00:04:00Logan, are you serious? Ava's been with you for five years, and you're really going to kick her out?

00:04:05Who said I was in a relationship with her? She was just a stand-in for Elena.

00:04:09Don't show anything in front of Elena. She's proud. She knew I used Ava as a substitute. She did feel

00:04:13insult.

00:04:13You're so devoted. You've had your eyes on Elena since college. But honestly, Ava is incredibly capable.

00:04:17Not only did she manage her company flawlessly, but she was also obedient in bed.

00:04:19Are you really willing to let her go? The passenger seat in my life is reserved only for a real

00:04:23princess.

00:04:24As for Ava, she's not worthy.

00:04:28Ava? What are you doing standing at the door with the fruit platter spacing out?

00:04:38Oh my God, was Ava at the door just now? Did she hear everything we said about her being cheap?

00:04:43So what if she did? Does she dare to get angry? Unless she wants to go back to the slums

00:04:47and beg for food.

00:04:49Mmm, so sweet. Logan, this personal assistant you keep really is better at cutting fruit than the hired help outside.

00:04:55Everyone thinks I'll break down, but I'm actually more clean-headed than anyone.

00:04:57In these five years, he never gave me love, and I, in turn, never truly gave him my heart.

00:05:02The fruit platter is ready. The main course will be served shortly.

00:05:06She clearly heard those words herds just now, way so much you have any reaction at all. Doesn't she care?

00:05:10Logan, we're partying here while the executive vice president is busy alone in the kitchen.

00:05:13Isn't that a bit too much? This is what she's supposed to do. Let's keep playing.

00:05:18Ava, you've worked hard. Come join us and eat.

00:05:23I'm not hungry. Enjoy yourselves.

00:05:26Don't mind her. Let's toast to celebrate Elena's return home.

00:05:29Elena, you're our goddess. This drink is to wish you a triumphant entry into the Vanderbilt Group upon your return

00:05:34and a brilliant future.

00:05:35I, I'm allergic to alcohol. I really can't drink something that strong.

00:05:38Old classmate, that's not very considerate, is it? You have to at least make a gesture.

00:05:42Elena's delicate and can't handle this kind of thing.

00:05:45Ava, come here and drink it for her.

00:05:47Fine.

00:05:55Logan, you're spoiling Elena too much. Anyone who toasts her, you make Ava take the hit?

00:05:59Abba has a high tolerance. A little of this strong liquor won't hurt her.

00:06:02Then I have to toast the goddess too. Ava, cheers.

00:06:05Everything is about to end. In these last few days with Logan, I won't refuse any requests you make.

00:06:12Ava, thank you for your hard work. I really wouldn't know what to do without you.

00:06:15So, even someone as arrogant and self-hortant as Logan can be tender-hearted.

00:06:19It's a pity that the one who pops in the promise will never be me.

00:06:25I don't like hearing those classmates linking you with Ava, even if she's just a substitute.

00:06:29Baby, my heart is yours. Ava is just our servant.

00:06:33You had a few glasses of champagne. Are you feeling dizzy?

00:06:36Don't be jealous for no reason. I've already declared to everyone that you are the future mistress of the group.

00:06:41I'll forgive you this time.

00:06:42Ava, you were really drunk. Let Logan drive you back to your apartment.

00:06:45No need. I can walk by myself.

00:06:47I have important business to attend to. Take attacks yourself.

00:06:50Ava, don't make me think you can't even take care of yourself.

00:07:08Ava, didn't I tell you to find a man as a shield immediately?

00:07:11Why is there still no movement?

00:07:12I just finished being forced to drink by you, Mr. Logan.

00:07:16Don't play the victim with me.

00:07:18You're dragging your feet.

00:07:20Are you still holding on to some unrealistic fantasy about me?

00:07:26I didn't, Mr. Logan. Don't worry. I'll find one soon.

00:07:29Don't lie. Elena is starting to suspect us.

00:07:31I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.

00:07:34Don't worry. One more week, and I'll disappear completely from your world.

00:07:39So eager to jump into someone else's arms.

00:07:42That shield better be a decent one.

00:07:43Don't embarrass me.

00:07:51You told me to find one?

00:07:53You're so obedient, it's disgusting.

00:07:57Logan, I miss you.

00:07:58Can I move into your villa tomorrow?

00:07:59Of course, baby.

00:08:01My room is always waiting for you.

00:08:05Pick me and Elena up at 8 tomorrow morning to go to the company.

00:08:10What are your plans after returning? Where do you want to go?

00:08:13I want to help you with the Vandeboe Group.

00:08:14I don't want to be just a freeloader.

00:08:16Good. I'll give you a surprise later.

00:08:19I want the whole world to know who the real mistress of this company is.

00:08:22Actually, I got a top-tier master's in finance abroad just to help you.

00:08:26We're here.

00:08:27Darling, it's my first day. We should keep our distance.

00:08:29I don't want people saying I got the job through connections.

00:08:32That wouldn't be noble.

00:08:33See?

00:08:33She's still as pure and independent as she was in college.

00:08:36Newman nowadays will do anything to climb the ladder.

00:08:37From a simple general and her considerate, maybe she's the only one.

00:08:40Notify the board.

00:08:41We're having an all-hands executive meeting in 10 minutes.

00:08:44I have major personnel changes.

00:08:45All right.

00:08:46I'll take care of it right away.

00:08:50I heard there will be a major personnel announcement today.

00:08:52Ava doubled the company's performance,

00:08:53so she's definitely getting promoted to co-CEO at the headquarters.

00:08:56Naturally.

00:08:56Vanderbilt Group has relied entirely on Ava for the past five years.

00:08:59Based on merit, it has to be her.

00:09:00Ava, don't forget about us when you get promoted.

00:09:02Actually, I was just about to.

00:09:04Only one thing will be announced today.

00:09:08Regarding the appointment of the former executive vice president, Ava.

00:09:10Congratulations.

00:09:11Is Ava being transferred to the New York headquarters as CEO?

00:09:14No.

00:09:15I announce Ava is hereby relieved of her position as executive vice president

00:09:18and demoted to vice president's assistant.

00:09:21What?

00:09:22Demoted instead of promoted?

00:09:23To an assistant?

00:09:24Mr. Logan, Ava generated a billion dollars in profit for the company last year.

00:09:27And the person taking over the vice president position is a financial genius

00:09:30we just recruited from Cambridge.

00:09:31Miss Elena.

00:09:33Hello, everyone.

00:09:34Although I lack practical experience,

00:09:36I believe my international perspective is more suited to leading the company to a higher level.

00:09:39This is absurd.

00:09:40Replacing a meritorious vice president with an inexperienced rookie?

00:09:42Enough.

00:09:43Who is the master of this company?

00:09:44My word is the command.

00:09:46Ava, as an assistant,

00:09:48you'd better do your utmost to help Elena familiar herself with business.

00:09:51If she makes the slightest mistake,

00:09:53I'll hold you couple.

00:09:53Okay.

00:09:56Ava, are you crazy?

00:09:57This is too humiliating.

00:09:58I have never objected to Mr. Logan's decisions.

00:10:01Vice president Elena, please follow me to your office.

00:10:03Then I'll trouble you, assistant Ava.

00:10:05This is your office.

00:10:06Assistant Ava,

00:10:07there's a bit of dust on the tip of my shoe.

00:10:10Since you were so skilled at serving Logan before now,

00:10:12clean it for me too.

00:10:17Is Elena crazy?

00:10:18She's actually making Ava clean her shoes?

00:10:20This is a downright insult to her dignity.

00:10:21Don't be impulsive.

00:10:22Ava must have her reasons for doing this.

00:10:25Oh my God,

00:10:26Ava's really kneeling down to clean them?

00:10:28This is absurd.

00:10:29Ava,

00:10:30I'm warning you.

00:10:30Back then,

00:10:31it was because of me that Logan even gave you a second glance.

00:10:33Without me,

00:10:33you'd still be washing dishes in the slums.

00:10:35It's thanks to my face that you've climbed to where you are today.

00:10:38Does it hurt?

00:10:39Remember this feeling of lowiness.

00:10:40You're nothing but a dog I've graciously allowed to exist.

00:10:43Don't even think about overstepping your bounds,

00:10:44and don't you dare try to seduce my Logan.

00:10:47Don't worry, Elena.

00:10:48I'm very clear about my place in Mr. Logan's heart.

00:10:50I've never coveted things that don't belong to me.

00:10:52Stubborn words are useless.

00:10:54Honey,

00:10:55want to go see a movie tonight?

00:10:55There's a new project at Universal Studios.

00:10:57I'll wait for you.

00:10:58Okay,

00:10:58see you then.

00:10:59You,

00:10:59you already have a boyfriend?

00:11:00Logan,

00:11:01I have good news for you.

00:11:02Ava has a boyfriend.

00:11:03I thought she had a crush on you all along.

00:11:04It seems I was overthinking it.

00:11:05I think you've misunderstood.

00:11:06The relationship between me and President Logan is purely one of sponsorship and employment.

00:11:09I've never had any appropriate thoughts.

00:11:11For and over,

00:11:11I love my boyfriend very much.

00:11:12Damn it.

00:11:13I just told her last night to find a male companion,

00:11:15and she's already found one today.

00:11:16Is there really not an angle place for me in her heart?

00:11:18Perfect.

00:11:19In a few days,

00:11:19there's a company team building event to celebrate my appointment.

00:11:21Ava,

00:11:21bring your non-powing along.

00:11:22Let's see you just tuck stranding the man who chunk her on an or new Jillian's gen race.

00:11:25Yes,

00:11:25I'm also him curious.

00:11:27Ava,

00:11:27bring him along then.

00:11:28No problem.

00:11:29Mr. Logan,

00:11:29we have an appointment with Mr. Grant from Grant Financial Group to sign the contract.

00:11:32It's the most important order of the year.

00:11:33Elena,

00:11:34this deal is crucial for the company's IPO.

00:11:35We must secure it.

00:11:36Don't worry,

00:11:37darling.

00:11:37With my overseas background,

00:11:38I guarantee we'll nail the negotiation beautifully.

00:11:42Mr. Grant,

00:11:42this is Ms. Elena,

00:11:43the company's new vice president.

00:11:44She is fully responsible for today's contract renewal negotiation.

00:11:46What?

00:11:47I remember Grant Financial's business has always been handled by you.

00:11:49Who is this administrative rookie?

00:11:50Mr. Grant,

00:11:51Ava is now just my assistant.

00:11:53The future of Vandert Group is controlled by elites like me with an international vision.

00:11:56Please sign.

00:11:57I hope your abilities are as impressive as your academic predictions.

00:12:00What are you looking at?

00:12:01Pervert,

00:12:01you're actually peeking at me.

00:12:03What nonsense are you talking about?

00:12:04I'm reading the 12th clause about compensating.

00:12:06Stop pretending.

00:12:07I've seen plenty of self-righteous men like you.

00:12:09It's disgusting.

00:12:10Don't think just because you're rich you can casually harass women.

00:12:13You dare hit me?

00:12:14I'm hitting you,

00:12:15you pervert.

00:12:15I'll use Logan's connections to ruin your reputation in New York.

00:12:17Vandert Group letting a paranoid lunark like this be vice president means bankruptcy is just around the corner.

00:12:21The deal is off,

00:12:22and I will withdraw all funding from Grant Financial.

00:12:23Mr. Grant,

00:12:24this is a misunderstanding.

00:12:25Please let me explain.

00:12:26Ava,

00:12:26I pity you,

00:12:27wasting your talent in this garbage dump.

00:12:28Vandert Group is finished.

00:12:31Elena,

00:12:31you've destroyed companies' most important changing.

00:12:33It's just some disgusting man who can't control his eyes.

00:12:35What's the big deal?

00:12:36Logan will handle it.

00:12:45Why are you dressed like this?

00:12:54Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for one night?

00:12:56The pay is $3,000.

00:13:00Don't worry,

00:13:01sis.

00:13:01I'm a professional.

00:13:02I guarantee I'll make your colleagues stare.

00:13:04Remember,

00:13:05talk less later.

00:13:06Don't give us away.

00:13:07Don't worry.

00:13:07I'm certified in playing the affectionate puppy dog type.

00:13:12Wow,

00:13:13Ava,

00:13:13this couldn't be your Mr.

00:13:14Right,

00:13:14could it?

00:13:15That outfit is terrifying.

00:13:16Little brother,

00:13:17what high position do you hold?

00:13:18Hello,

00:13:18sis.

00:13:19I'm the hottest space blogger on the entire internet.

00:13:21Search for Grizzockeys to find me.

00:13:22Remember to follow and send me a sports car.

00:13:23Logan,

00:13:24your former vice president's taste is truly unique.

00:13:26But then again,

00:13:26this kind of influencer who lives off their looks is a perfect match for her status.

00:13:29Ava,

00:13:29I never thought your taste was this poor,

00:13:31that you'd stoop so low as to hire such a cheap performer.

00:13:34Why not?

00:13:34In my heart,

00:13:35he's much more genuine than those hypocritical elites.

00:13:39True.

00:13:40Bottom feeders love this kind of influencer the most.

00:13:42By the way,

00:13:42all the guests have arrived.

00:13:44Didn't you say you had a special welcome back gift for me?

00:13:47Hey,

00:13:47I haven't even started showing off my acting skills yet.

00:13:49Why did they leave?

00:13:49Enough.

00:13:50Your job is done.

00:13:51The final payment has been sent.

00:13:53Go.

00:13:53Thanks,

00:13:54sponsor,

00:13:54sis.

00:13:55Thanks,

00:14:00you know,

00:14:01this is a welcome gift to celebrate your official entry into the Vanderbilt group.

00:14:06Darling,

00:14:07it's so beautiful.

00:14:07It's perfect.

00:14:11Ava,

00:14:12does this Rolex look good with my skin tone?

00:14:16It does.

00:14:19If it weren't for paying off that astronomical debt for my family,

00:14:22I wouldn't have sold myself to Logan.

00:14:24I could have had the purest love too,

00:14:26right?

00:14:35Miss Ava,

00:14:36tomorrow is the day you officially take over as CEO of Liberty Financial.

00:14:39Mr.

00:14:40Liam and I are both waiting for you.

00:14:41Don't worry.

00:14:42I'll be there on time tomorrow.

00:14:43The contract is signed and I won't break it.

00:14:45Excellent.

00:14:46We are very much looking forward to your leadership.

00:14:48The time for farewell has finally come.

00:14:50Logan,

00:14:51thank you for the financial support back then,

00:14:53for saving my critically ill mother,

00:14:54and for giving me a foothold in this cold city.

00:14:56Thank you for giving me the dream of a rebirth,

00:14:58even though I knew that in your heart,

00:14:59I would always be just a humble shadow.

00:15:01I heard you're the poorest student who needs money the most.

00:15:03Help me win over Elena,

00:15:04and I'll fund you through college.

00:15:08Elena,

00:15:08don't leave me.

00:15:11For these five years,

00:15:12I dutifully served as his substitute,

00:15:14accompanying him through his darkest hours.

00:15:16In my heart,

00:15:17you were once an unreachable star,

00:15:18but I'm tired.

00:15:19Goodbye,

00:15:20my former obsession.

00:15:21Goodbye,

00:15:21my shattered youth.

00:15:22Chairman Logan,

00:15:25this glass,

00:15:26I toast to you.

00:15:27Thank you for all your care over the years.

00:15:29Today,

00:15:29I'd like to talk to you about my-

00:15:30Chairman,

00:15:31it's terrible.

00:15:31Grant Financial just formally issued a legal letter,

00:15:33announcing a complete withdrawal of investment,

00:15:35and suing us for a bridge of contract.

00:15:36The company's stock price has already hit the limit down.

00:15:42Chairman,

00:15:43something terrible has happened.

00:15:44Grant Financial has not only dominated all cooperation,

00:15:46but has also joined forces with the four major investment banks on Wall Street,

00:15:49to launch a comprehensive blockade against us.

00:15:52How is that possible?

00:15:53Grant has been our staunch ally for five years.

00:15:55Why would they suddenly turn against us?

00:15:57On the day of the signing,

00:15:58Vice President Elena maliciously speculated that Chairman Grant was peeping at her,

00:16:01and even slapped him in public.

00:16:02He insulted me first.

00:16:03He was staring at my chest.

00:16:05I was just defending my dignity as a woman.

00:16:07Ava,

00:16:07I told you to assist Elena.

00:16:08Are you dead?

00:16:09Grant Financial is the source of half of our company's funding.

00:16:12Don't you understand the consequences of offending such a giant?

00:16:14If you had stopped this foolish behavior in time,

00:16:16how could things have got this wrong?

00:16:17Chair Don't,

00:16:18Miss Ava tried her best to stop it,

00:16:20and even demanded Elena apologize immediately.

00:16:21It was Elena who wouldn't listen,

00:16:22and even threatened Miss Ava.

00:16:23That's right.

00:16:24If Miss Ava hadn't intervened,

00:16:25Elena would have probably torn the other party to shreds right there in the conference room.

00:16:29Ava,

00:16:30even if she stopped you,

00:16:31couldn't you have called me directly?

00:16:32Where is your professionalism?

00:16:33You actually concealed such a catastrophic disaster and didn't report it.

00:16:35Chairman,

00:16:36President Amba was about to report it at the time,

00:16:38but Vice President Elena said she would communicate with you personally.

00:16:40It seems she didn't mention a single word.

00:16:42Honey,

00:16:42I just wanted to find the right time to explain.

00:16:44I didn't know that man would be so petty.

00:16:45Chairman,

00:16:46the Board of Directors at Headquarters

00:16:47demands you return for a meeting immediately.

00:16:48They hope you give the German a reasonable explanation.

00:16:51Ava,

00:16:52come with me.

00:16:59Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.

00:17:01She is my chosen future wife,

00:17:02and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.

00:17:05So,

00:17:06you plan to make me the scapegoat?

00:17:07I will personally submit a report to the Board.

00:17:09It will state that it was your overstepping and probation that angered Mr. Grant and led to the withdrawal of

00:17:13funds.

00:17:14Don't worry.

00:17:15Once the dust settles,

00:17:16I'll find a way to bring you back.

00:17:17Making me take the bullet for him again.

00:17:19In these five years,

00:17:20how many messes have I cleaned up for him?

00:17:21How many times I've been the fall guy?

00:17:22Logan,

00:17:23how can you be so at ease without him even a seal of thrills?

00:17:26Logan,

00:17:27one should be responsible for one's own actions.

00:17:29If Ava isn't healing,

00:17:30just let me resign and take the blame.

00:17:31I don't want to see you in a difficult position because of me.

00:17:34Ava,

00:17:35do you really need me to beg you?

00:17:36You handled taking the fall so perfectly before.

00:17:38Why are you acting so unwilling in front of Elena?

00:17:39Don't you know your stubbornness now is destroying all our hard work?

00:17:45Fine.

00:17:46This one last time.

00:17:48I'll take the bullet for you one last time.

00:17:51Why did she agree so readily?

00:17:52Why is she leaving so decisively this time?

00:17:54Could it be,

00:17:55I really went too far?

00:17:56Darling,

00:17:56stop thinking about that assistant.

00:17:58She took your money.

00:17:58It's her honor to take the fall for me.

00:18:00Today is my first celebration after joining the company.

00:18:01Don't keep the executives waiting.

00:18:03What are you feeling guilty about?

00:18:04Ava is just a dog.

00:18:06Even if she occasionally gets upset,

00:18:08long you give her some luxury goods.

00:18:10She like Logrie Chen-ni at your foot.

00:18:12That's your runt.

00:18:13Let's go.

00:18:13Tonight,

00:18:14you are the only star.

00:18:20What are you doing here?

00:18:21Mr. Grant,

00:18:22I am here on behalf of the group to formally apologize to you.

00:18:25To Vice President Elena,

00:18:27and to the glory that awaits us.

00:18:28Congratulations, Elena.

00:18:29Cheers.

00:18:30Get out with your chief apology.

00:18:31Tell Logan to kneel before me himself,

00:18:33or this isn't over.

00:18:38In New York,

00:18:39no one dares to touch Grant's face.

00:18:40You want to make peace?

00:18:41Dream on.

00:18:42Mr. Grant,

00:18:43I take full responsibility for this matter.

00:18:44As long as you can calm down,

00:18:45we are willing to bear all responsibility

00:18:47and provide compensation.

00:18:48You calm me down?

00:18:49Sure.

00:18:49If you drink all of these,

00:18:50I'll consider withdrawing the lawyer's letter.

00:18:52Fine.

00:18:52Wait a minute.

00:18:53Since you're taking the blame for someone else,

00:18:55you should at least have the posture of begging, right?

00:18:57Drink on your knee.

00:18:58That's right.

00:18:58In this city of New York,

00:19:00no one who asks Grant for a favor does it standing up.

00:19:03What?

00:19:04Can't stand the humiliation?

00:19:05Then get out.

00:19:23Elena,

00:19:24the future of the Vanderbilt group depends on you

00:19:26to lead us to new heights.

00:19:27Congratulations,

00:19:28Miss Elena,

00:19:29on securing your throne.

00:19:30Cheers.

00:19:34I wonder if that woman,

00:19:35Ava,

00:19:35can get Grant's letter of understanding.

00:19:56Oh my God!

00:19:57Ava just released a public statement.

00:19:59She announced she takes full responsibility

00:20:00for the Grant withdrawal incident

00:20:01and is formally resigning.

00:20:05Resigning?

00:20:06She dares to resign?

00:20:09Ava,

00:20:09what the hell are you trying to do?

00:20:11Who gave you permission to leave me at a time like this?

00:20:13Why is Logan losing control like this

00:20:15just because Ava resigned?

00:20:16That look in his eyes.

00:20:17He's never shown it to me.

00:20:18Could it be he still loves Ava?

00:20:23Your funding back then allowed me to finish college.

00:20:25You truly were the only beam of light

00:20:27in the darkest night of my life.

00:20:28Over these five years,

00:20:29I've made you profits a hundredfold.

00:20:31All my savings are in this card.

00:20:33Enough to offset all your benevolency from back then.

00:20:35Goodbye forever, Logan.

00:20:40Ava,

00:20:41these reports must be redone

00:20:42before the end of the day today.

00:20:43Also,

00:20:43go to that Michelin-starred restaurant

00:20:44at Moon and queue up

00:20:45to make a reservation for me.

00:20:46Logan likes their truffles.

00:20:47You can keep this garbage

00:20:48and chew on it yourself.

00:20:49As for making a reservation,

00:20:50if you're not so useless

00:20:51that your legs are broken,

00:20:53go all over there yourself.

00:20:54I'm no longer an employee here.

00:20:55You have no right

00:20:56to order me a round.

00:20:57Ava,

00:20:57where do you get the nerve

00:20:58to talk to me like that?

00:20:59Without me,

00:20:59you're not even fit

00:21:00to shine Logan's shoes.

00:21:01Since you want to get lost,

00:21:02get lost far away.

00:21:03Disappear from New York completely

00:21:04and don't come back

00:21:04wagging your tail

00:21:05like a stray dog.

00:21:06Elena,

00:21:06you've played the part

00:21:07of that pure money disdaining

00:21:08white new night

00:21:08very successfully.

00:21:09But remember,

00:21:10a play is just a play.

00:21:11When Logan discovers

00:21:12the rot beneath that skin of yours,

00:21:13I hope you can still smile

00:21:14so brightly.

00:21:24Chairman,

00:21:25the accounts are settled.

00:21:26Thank you for the hell

00:21:27you've given me

00:21:28all these years.

00:21:29It's made me invincible.

00:21:38Ava,

00:21:39you really left?

00:21:41How dare she leave

00:21:42without my permission?

00:21:45Ava,

00:21:46I'll use all my votes

00:21:47on the board to keep you.

00:21:48I haven't approved

00:21:48this resignation report yet.

00:21:50Get back to the company

00:21:50right now.

00:21:52Chairman Logan,

00:21:53there's no need.

00:21:53The nature of this withdrawal

00:21:54incident is extremely severe.

00:21:56Vanderbilt Group

00:21:56must give the other party

00:21:57an explanation

00:21:58and I am the best scapegoat.

00:21:59You make a good point.

00:22:00Let's ride out this storm first.

00:22:02Once those old guys

00:22:02calm down,

00:22:03I'll bring you back.

00:22:04Also,

00:22:04take that black card

00:22:05on the table.

00:22:06It's your compensation.

00:22:07I never intended for you

00:22:08to pay back that tuition money.

00:22:09Chairman,

00:22:09I don't like owing debts

00:22:10and I especially

00:22:11don't like owing favors.

00:22:12The money in that card

00:22:13was what you funded me

00:22:13with for university.

00:22:15I paid it all back to you.

00:22:16Ava,

00:22:16because I let Elena

00:22:17take your position

00:22:17and made you take the fall

00:22:18for her that you're unhappy?

00:22:19You have to understand

00:22:20my predicament.

00:22:21Eleanor just returned

00:22:22to the country.

00:22:22She needs a perfect resume

00:22:23to solidify her position

00:22:25in the company.

00:22:25Your abilities are known

00:22:26throughout New York.

00:22:29I'm not angry.

00:22:30In fact,

00:22:31I'm even grateful

00:22:31for taking this fall.

00:22:32It made me realize

00:22:33how liberating freedom feels.

00:22:35Where exactly

00:22:35are you planning to go?

00:22:36To a place

00:22:36where there's no more

00:22:37you and Elena.

00:22:38Isn't that what

00:22:39you've always wanted most?

00:22:40From now on,

00:22:41no one will stand

00:22:42in the way

00:22:42of your white mood line anymore.

00:22:44I...

00:22:44Ava,

00:22:45listen to me.

00:22:46The boarding announcement

00:22:47is on.

00:22:48Goodbye, Logan.

00:23:08Darling,

00:23:08I'm so happy today.

00:23:09We should celebrate

00:23:10being together.

00:23:10And why not invite Ava, too?

00:23:12Oh, she's worked so hard

00:23:13all these years.

00:23:13She see our happiness

00:23:14with her own eyes.

00:23:27Five years of waiting

00:23:28have finally borne fruit tonight.

00:23:29In this world,

00:23:30nothing is more precious

00:23:31than a love

00:23:41Congratulations!

00:23:43You are the only queen

00:23:44for Logan.

00:23:48Five years of waiting

00:23:49have finally borne fruit tonight.

00:23:50In this world,

00:23:51nothing is more precious

00:24:06The lovers can finally

00:24:07embrace each other

00:24:08Congratulations, Logan.

00:24:10You finally waited

00:24:10for the white moonlight

00:24:11of your dreams

00:24:11and I, too,

00:24:13have finally waited

00:24:13for my freedom.

00:24:19Welcome to Los Angeles.

00:24:21I'm also very happy

00:24:22to arrive in this new world.

00:24:29Welcome aboard.

00:24:30It's time to start your era.

00:24:33You are Liam?

00:24:36Miss Ava,

00:24:37let me formally introduce you.

00:24:39This is the founder

00:24:40and chairman

00:24:40of our Liberty Financial.

00:24:41I've been waiting

00:24:42right here for you

00:24:43to lead Liberty Financial

00:24:45to conquer Wall Street

00:24:46and create glory

00:24:47that belongs to us.

00:24:50Alright,

00:24:51I'll give it my all.

00:24:58Ava,

00:24:59Elena has officially

00:25:00accepted my proposal.

00:25:01We're having a celebration

00:25:02party at the penthouse

00:25:03tonight.

00:25:03You should come.

00:25:04Elena said she wants

00:25:05you to witness

00:25:06our happiest moment

00:25:07with your own eyes.

00:25:09I won't be going.

00:25:10That kind of moment

00:25:10belongs only to the two of you.

00:25:12There's no need to share it

00:25:13with an outsider.

00:25:13Congratulations.

00:25:14Ava,

00:25:15are you still sulking with me

00:25:16over the scapegoat incident?

00:25:17When did you become

00:25:17so petty,

00:25:18so unreasonable?

00:25:18You should understand

00:25:19my dispella.

00:25:20It was for the greater good.

00:25:21You're overthinking it.

00:25:22I'm really not angry.

00:25:24Alright,

00:25:24I'm very busy.

00:25:25That's all.

00:25:26Fuck.

00:25:33Logan,

00:25:33I've already repaid your kindness

00:25:35with five years of my freedom.

00:25:36From now on,

00:25:37our worlds will no longer intersect.

00:25:39My life is only truly beginning now.

00:25:46Ava,

00:25:47you damn woman.

00:25:48Not only did you reject me,

00:25:49but you actually dared

00:25:50to hang up on me.

00:25:51She's getting more

00:25:52in there,

00:25:52Goldinus.

00:25:53Sorry,

00:25:53the number you died

00:25:54is powered out.

00:25:55Darling,

00:25:56Ava must still be angry with me.

00:25:57It's all my fault.

00:25:59How about on our wedding day?

00:26:00I go and invite her personally.

00:26:03I believe she'll eventually

00:26:04bless us with tears

00:26:05in her eyes.

00:26:11Exactly.

00:26:12What right does she have

00:26:13to refuse me?

00:26:14Everything she has now

00:26:15was given by me.

00:26:17She's nothing but a dog I raised.

00:26:19It won't be long

00:26:20before she gets knocked around

00:26:21and bruised out there,

00:26:23and then obediently crawls back,

00:26:25begging me to take her in.

00:26:27But why did her tone

00:26:28sound so unfamiliar just now?

00:26:30This feeling of losing my grip,

00:26:31could it really be just an illusion?

00:26:32Why do I have this feeling

00:26:33that she's going to disappear

00:26:34from my side?

00:26:49Ava,

00:26:49welcome to Liberty Financial.

00:26:51From today on,

00:26:52this is your stage.

00:26:55Chairman,

00:26:55we have a major problem.

00:26:56Our merger negotiations

00:26:57with Everett Group

00:26:57have completely reached a deadlock.

00:26:59The other party's chief negotiator

00:27:00suddenly turned hostile,

00:27:01demanding an additional

00:27:0120% of equity shares

00:27:02on off of the original terms,

00:27:03or they'll terminate

00:27:04the cooperation immediately.

00:27:05What?

00:27:05We've been preparing

00:27:06for this project

00:27:07for five whole years,

00:27:08investing hundreds of millions

00:27:09of dollars in upfront capital.

00:27:10If it collapses now,

00:27:11the group's cash flow

00:27:12will dry up instantly.

00:27:13We won't be able to hold on.

00:27:14Are the people they sent

00:27:15that guy nicked him

00:27:16the vulture miller

00:27:16and they notoriously

00:27:17greedy Harrison?

00:27:18Yes,

00:27:19it's them.

00:27:20These two are notoriously

00:27:21difficult to deal with

00:27:22on Wall Street.

00:27:23They don't play

00:27:24by any professional rules.

00:27:26What a coincidence.

00:27:28Back at the Vanderbilt Group,

00:27:29I almost drive those two

00:27:30into bankruptcy.

00:27:31They're my old rivals.

00:27:34Leave this project to me.

00:27:38Chairman,

00:27:39who is she?

00:27:40Isn't it too risky

00:27:40to hand over such a big project

00:27:41to a new face?

00:27:42Let me formally introduce

00:27:43to everyone.

00:27:44This is the company's

00:27:45newly assigned executive

00:27:46vice president

00:27:47and chief operating officer,

00:27:48Ava.

00:27:49Hello, everyone.

00:27:50I'm Ava.

00:27:51Transfer all the core materials

00:27:52in our tumbles

00:27:52to President Ava.

00:27:53She has the highest

00:27:54decisioning authority

00:27:54for the coming negotiations.

00:27:56Understood.

00:27:59Ava,

00:27:59I've waited five years

00:28:00just to be able to stand

00:28:01at the pinnacle of Wall Street

00:28:02with you side by side.

00:28:04I firmly believe

00:28:04you will never let me down.

00:28:06Ava,

00:28:06she is a top-class hunter

00:28:08on Wall Street.

00:28:09I believe she won't miss.

00:28:11Charent,

00:28:11is she really capable?

00:28:13The other kind

00:28:13is notoriously stingy

00:28:14on Wall Street.

00:28:15This President Ava

00:28:16is a war goddess,

00:28:17the chairman personally

00:28:18snatched from the hands

00:28:19of New York's

00:28:19top financial magnets.

00:28:21On Wall Street,

00:28:22no one wants to face her

00:28:22at the negotiation table.

00:28:23Open your eyes wide

00:28:24and see clearly.

00:28:25This is the true king

00:28:26of top-tier

00:28:26brothers' negotiation.

00:28:34Miller Harrison,

00:28:35long time no see?

00:28:37Ava,

00:28:38what are you doing here?

00:28:39I'm now in charge

00:28:40of the acquisition

00:28:41for this Liberty Financial project.

00:28:42I never imagined

00:28:43our opponent would be you.

00:28:45So what's all we're left

00:28:46to discuss?

00:28:47We've experienced

00:28:47your methods firsthand.

00:28:49All those underhanded

00:28:50negotiation tactics

00:28:50are just a waste of time

00:28:51in front of you.

00:28:53Then sign.

00:28:54No problem.

00:28:55You are the guarantee

00:28:56of industry credibility.

00:28:57We can drive a hard bargain

00:28:58with rookies,

00:28:59but with you,

00:29:00we value long-term cooperation more.

00:29:02Smart.

00:29:02Liberty Financial

00:29:03will provide you

00:29:04with top-tier investment

00:29:04banking support in return.

00:29:06Am I seeing things?

00:29:07That tough nut

00:29:08we've been trying to crack

00:29:08for five years

00:29:09and she got it signed

00:29:10in less than five minutes?

00:29:11This isn't a negotiation.

00:29:11It's a one-hided domination.

00:29:13Incredible.

00:29:13Is this Ava's true power?

00:29:15Simply amazing.

00:29:16Our company's about to take off.

00:29:17Senior,

00:29:18you're still the queen

00:29:18everyone looks up to.

00:29:19With you,

00:29:20Liberty Financial

00:29:20is about to experience

00:29:21a dreamlike leap forward.

00:29:26Pleasure doing business.

00:29:30Pleasure doing business.

00:29:31Ava,

00:29:31Logan is truly insane

00:29:33to let go of a partner

00:29:34of your caliber.

00:29:35You flatter me, Miller.

00:29:37If we had known earlier

00:29:38that you were leaving

00:29:38that troublesome company,

00:29:39we would have offered

00:29:40double the equity

00:29:41to poach you.

00:29:42Since you both trust me so much,

00:29:44we'll be allies

00:29:44in Los Angeles from now on.

00:29:46It's a deal.

00:29:47See you again.

00:29:50Miss Ava,

00:29:51how on earth did you do it?

00:29:52They're known as

00:29:53the devil's representatives

00:29:54who never concede.

00:29:56The essence of business

00:29:57is the equivalent exchange

00:29:58of resources.

00:30:00As long as you see

00:30:01through the other party's weakness

00:30:03and offer a bargaining chip

00:30:04they can't refuse,

00:30:05success is a matter of course.

00:30:10As expected of my senior,

00:30:12with you on board,

00:30:13Liberty Financial

00:30:14is destined to shine

00:30:14on Wall Street.

00:30:15I'm honored to join

00:30:17the Liberty Financial team.

00:30:21The terms of this

00:30:22offshore funds betting agreement

00:30:23are overwhelmingly in our favor.

00:30:25Is it really reliable?

00:30:27Of course.

00:30:28This is a project

00:30:28personally recommended

00:30:29by my classmate from Cambridge.

00:30:31There's absolutely no problem.

00:30:32Elena,

00:30:33with you by my side,

00:30:34I'm like a light wings.

00:30:35Once we sign this project,

00:30:36the market value

00:30:37of Vanderbilt Group

00:30:38can double this quarter

00:30:38and those old board members

00:30:40will have nothing to say.

00:30:41Am I better than that Ava

00:30:43who all knows

00:30:43how to bear your head and work her?

00:30:44Her?

00:30:45She's not worth

00:30:46one ten thousandth of you.

00:30:47As long as I help Logan

00:30:48secure these few more big deals

00:30:50and completely win

00:30:50his father's approval,

00:30:51I'll be the true mistress

00:30:52of the Vanderbilt Man.

00:30:53family.

00:30:55So,

00:30:55how does it feel

00:30:56to be back at our alma mater?

00:30:57Much more relaxing

00:30:58than the office buildings

00:30:59in Manhattan, right?

00:31:00I never thought

00:31:01we'd reunite

00:31:01under these circumstances,

00:31:02but Liam,

00:31:03our meeting again,

00:31:04it probably wasn't

00:31:05a coincidence, was it?

00:31:09Actually,

00:31:09I've been silently

00:31:10watching you

00:31:11all these years.

00:31:12It's just that

00:31:13you were too close

00:31:14to Logan

00:31:14and never had a chance

00:31:15to step in.

00:31:16To be honest,

00:31:17I fell for you

00:31:18at first sight.

00:31:19I watched you compete

00:31:19in speech contests

00:31:20and dominate in debates.

00:31:22After graduation,

00:31:23I wanted to invite you

00:31:23to start a business together,

00:31:24but then I heard you

00:31:25join Logan's family business

00:31:26to pay off your debt.

00:31:27From the day

00:31:27I entered Vanderbilt,

00:31:28I never planned to stay

00:31:29for a lifetime.

00:31:30I was just repaying a debt.

00:31:31Once it's paid off,

00:31:32it's time to leave.

00:31:33But I heard you were

00:31:33in a core position,

00:31:34holding all the lifelines

00:31:35of the company.

00:31:36How could that lunatic Logan

00:31:37bear to let you go?

00:31:38The world keeps turning

00:31:39without anyone.

00:31:39I'm not as indispensable

00:31:41as he thinks.

00:31:42I've done what needed

00:31:42to be done,

00:31:43repaid what needed

00:31:44to be repaid.

00:31:44We're even.

00:31:45I can disappear from his world

00:31:46with a clear conscience.

00:31:47Now that you've come

00:31:48to my side,

00:31:48I will never let go again.

00:31:52Chairman,

00:31:52something terrible

00:31:53has happened.

00:31:53Vice President Elena

00:31:54publicly fired our top

00:31:55salesperson, Carter,

00:31:56just because he was

00:31:57ten minutes late

00:31:57to the morning meeting.

00:31:58Carter was immediately

00:31:59poached by our arch rival,

00:32:01Apex Capital.

00:32:02He took three of our

00:32:02core major clients

00:32:03with him.

00:32:05The company's losses

00:32:06are at least

00:32:06$200 million.

00:32:08Who gave her permission

00:32:09to touch Carter?

00:32:10He's the pillar

00:32:11of our company's performance.

00:32:16Chairman,

00:32:16it gets worse.

00:32:17We just wired

00:32:18the $50 million advance

00:32:19for that overseas project

00:32:19Elena signed off of

00:32:20and the recipient's account

00:32:21was instantly deactivated.

00:32:22We checked the FBI's blacklist.

00:32:24It's just a shell company

00:32:25for money laundering.

00:32:26We've been set up.

00:32:27What?

00:32:31Chairman,

00:32:32I personally half a month

00:32:33a month in Silicon Valley

00:32:34touched as a social genius,

00:32:35Carter.

00:32:36With Ham on board,

00:32:37no one can touch

00:32:38Vanderbilt and

00:32:39with North Mayer's share.

00:32:40This man's background

00:32:41is indeed clean

00:32:42and formidable.

00:32:43And these offshore projects,

00:32:44I've been tracking them

00:32:45for two years.

00:32:46I've personally done

00:32:47all the risk assessments.

00:32:48As long as I'm here,

00:32:49none of your decisions

00:32:50will go wrong.

00:32:52Chairman,

00:32:52Elena just signed

00:32:53two $10 billion hedge agreements

00:32:54with European investment banks

00:32:55in your name.

00:32:56But according to our

00:32:57emergency due diligence,

00:32:58both companies are backed

00:32:59by nothing but shells.

00:33:00The risk is off the circus.

00:33:01Chairman,

00:33:01you have to make a decision

00:33:02or the company

00:33:03will be hollowed out.

00:33:14In such a short time,

00:33:16I've used my university connections

00:33:18to secure so many

00:33:19major projects for Logan.

00:33:20He must be looking at me

00:33:22in a new light now,

00:33:23finally realizing

00:33:24who his true partner

00:33:25in battle is.

00:33:29Investigate.

00:33:30The overseas parent companies

00:33:32of these two projects

00:33:33have no operational qualifications

00:33:35at all.

00:33:35They're all shell companies

00:33:36for money laundering.

00:33:38Chairman,

00:33:39the finance department

00:33:40just followed Miss Elena's

00:33:41urgent instructions

00:33:42and has already transferred

00:33:43all the down payments.

00:33:45All transferred?

00:33:47$500 million?

00:33:48How on earth did Elena

00:33:49vet their qualifications?

00:33:51Is her brain filled with mush?

00:33:52With this level of incompetence,

00:33:54she's not even worth

00:33:55one ten thousandth of Ava.

00:34:01All of you,

00:34:01get out!

00:34:07If Ava were here,

00:34:08such a low-level mistake

00:34:09would never have happened.

00:34:12If Ava were here,

00:34:14such a low-level mistake

00:34:15would never have happened.

00:34:16But why?

00:34:17Elena is clearly

00:34:17my first love.

00:34:18So why do I have

00:34:19such absurd thoughts?

00:34:20Elena just returned

00:34:21to the country.

00:34:22It's inevitable

00:34:23there are slip-ups

00:34:24in business.

00:34:24As long as I bring

00:34:25Ava back to assist her,

00:34:26the company will

00:34:27quickly get back on track.

00:34:31Sorry,

00:34:31the number you have dialed

00:34:33is not in service.

00:34:34Not in service?

00:34:36Ava,

00:34:36you've gone this far?

00:34:37You even cut off

00:34:38the last means of contact?

00:34:50Ava!

00:34:51Ava!

00:34:51Open the door!

00:34:52I know you're in there.

00:34:53Don't play hide-and-soup with me.

00:35:02Ava?

00:35:16Logan,

00:35:16this is my final gift to you.

00:35:18Everything you casually

00:35:19handed down to me

00:35:20over the years

00:35:20is in this box.

00:35:25I didn't take a single piece

00:35:26of the trash in the closet

00:35:27that you looked down upon.

00:35:29We're even now.

00:35:30Goodbye forever.

00:35:37What does she mean by this?

00:35:38These were my rewards to her.

00:35:41She never used a single one?

00:35:45This Rolex was originally

00:35:47bought for Elena,

00:35:48but I remembered wrong.

00:35:50She doesn't like this kind

00:35:51of rugged strap.

00:35:52It's yours now.

00:35:53Take it and wear.

00:36:08The tag is still on.

00:36:10She never wore any of the clothes

00:36:11I bought for her.

00:36:16The tag is still on.

00:36:19She never wore any of the clothes

00:36:20I bought for her.

00:36:21Darling,

00:36:22does this limited edition Chanel

00:36:23suit your complexion?

00:36:25Honey,

00:36:25I've long outgrown

00:36:26that old-fashioned style.

00:36:27I have other brands

00:36:28I prefer.

00:36:29Gotta go.

00:36:29Moan!

00:36:36Elena doesn't like it.

00:36:38This trash is yours now.

00:36:39Throw it away

00:36:40or wear it yourself.

00:36:43These jewels,

00:36:44these clothes,

00:36:45she hasn't even touched them.

00:36:47Every single thing

00:36:47she left here

00:36:48is a slap in my face.

00:36:50She's telling me

00:36:50she never valued

00:36:51anything I gave her.

00:37:00Ava,

00:37:00what gives you the right

00:37:01to draw a line with me?

00:37:03Are you trying to tell me

00:37:04you've won

00:37:05with all this garbage?

00:37:09Mobilize all our contacts,

00:37:11both legal and underworld.

00:37:12Seal off every exit port

00:37:14in New York.

00:37:15Track that woman down

00:37:15no matter where she's hiding.

00:37:17She doesn't even have

00:37:18the right to die

00:37:19without my permission.

00:37:21How dare she disappear?

00:37:24I'll make her regret

00:37:25ever being born.

00:37:30Ava,

00:37:30what gives you the right

00:37:32to draw a line with me?

00:37:33Are you trying to tell me

00:37:34you've won

00:37:34with all this garbage?

00:37:40Ava,

00:37:40even though you've been

00:37:41driven out of New York,

00:37:42Logan's heart

00:37:43is still completely

00:37:44filled with you.

00:37:45No,

00:37:45you're just my replacement.

00:37:47Logan can only be my prey.

00:37:52I'm going to let

00:37:52the whole world know

00:37:53who the future master

00:37:54of the Vanderbilt family is.

00:37:56Ava,

00:37:56you'll forever be stuck

00:37:57in the gutter.

00:38:06Have you found her?

00:38:07Chairman,

00:38:08we've searched all

00:38:08the private clinics

00:38:09and apartments

00:38:09in Manhattan and Queens.

00:38:10There's absolutely

00:38:11no trace of Miss Ava.

00:38:14Damn it!

00:38:16Ava,

00:38:16where the hell

00:38:17are you hiding?

00:38:21Damn it!

00:38:22Ava,

00:38:22where the hell

00:38:22are you hiding?

00:38:23Where exactly

00:38:24are you planning to go?

00:38:25To a place

00:38:25where there's no more

00:38:26you and Elena.

00:38:27She paid off

00:38:27all her debts

00:38:28just to escape me

00:38:29completely.

00:38:30Ava,

00:38:30who gave you

00:38:30the nerve

00:38:31to vanish

00:38:31from my world?

00:38:34Buddy,

00:38:35you're way too low-key.

00:38:36You're about to get married

00:38:37and you didn't even

00:38:38bite us for a drink?

00:38:39Elena's the one

00:38:39with sense.

00:38:40The photos she posted

00:38:40have set all

00:38:41of Wall Street

00:38:41on fire.

00:38:42What wedding?

00:38:43What the hell

00:38:43are you talking about?

00:38:44Stop pretending.

00:38:45Check your social media feed.

00:38:46You guys are really

00:38:47going all out.

00:38:47Was that right

00:38:48after you got out of bed?

00:38:54Darling,

00:38:55why are you here

00:38:56so early?

00:38:57Did you miss me?

00:39:00Delete that disgusting

00:39:01post right now,

00:39:01Elena.

00:39:02I brought you back

00:39:03to play the part

00:39:03of the perfect

00:39:04white moonlight,

00:39:04not to scheme here.

00:39:07Elena,

00:39:08when did you

00:39:09become so scheming?

00:39:10Logan,

00:39:10I'm your fiance.

00:39:11Is posting an intimate

00:39:12photo of you

00:39:13some kind of capital crime?

00:39:14Phone,

00:39:15unlock it.

00:39:16If you want

00:39:17our relationship

00:39:17to end right here,

00:39:18you can keep

00:39:18holding on to it.

00:39:26From now on,

00:39:27you are not supposed

00:39:28to post anything

00:39:28about my private life

00:39:29without permission.

00:39:30Elena,

00:39:30trying to force marriage

00:39:31with such a low-level

00:39:32technique is too childish.

00:39:33This is the first

00:39:33and last time.

00:39:34If it were Ava,

00:39:35she would never

00:39:35do something so stupid.

00:39:36She always knows

00:39:37where the line is.

00:39:38Logan!

00:39:38I did this because

00:39:39I love you too much!

00:39:41I'm scared every day.

00:39:43Scared you'll get

00:39:43tired of me.

00:39:44Scared you'll realize

00:39:45I'm not as capable

00:39:46as Ava.

00:39:47What I fear most

00:39:47is that Ava

00:39:48will come back

00:39:48and take you

00:39:49away from me.

00:39:52Please,

00:39:53don't do this.

00:39:54Logan,

00:39:55please don't go.

00:39:56I'll be good.

00:39:57I'll become the person

00:39:57you want me to be.

00:39:59I'm just so afraid

00:40:00of losing you.

00:40:01Afraid of losing?

00:40:02I admit I made

00:40:03the stupidest decision,

00:40:04but you're the only one

00:40:05in my heart.

00:40:06I really care about you

00:40:07too much.

00:40:09I didn't,

00:40:10Mr. Logan.

00:40:10Don't worry.

00:40:11I'll find one soon.

00:40:12Don't lie.

00:40:13Elena is starting

00:40:14to suspect us.

00:40:15I won't allow you

00:40:15to tarnish the pure love

00:40:16between her and me.

00:40:17I've shared a bed

00:40:18with Ava for five whole years.

00:40:19I honestly thought you

00:40:20have some shred of attachment.

00:40:21But now,

00:40:22she managed to vanish

00:40:22into thin air

00:40:23without a second thought.

00:40:24Turns out,

00:40:24the one who truly cares

00:40:25never leaves.

00:40:26And the one who never

00:40:27really cared about me

00:40:28walks away

00:40:28with zero regrets.

00:40:30Ava.

00:40:37Due to quality issues,

00:40:38the foundation has collapsed.

00:40:40The other party

00:40:40has officially filed a lawsuit

00:40:41with a federal court

00:40:42demanding that we pay

00:40:43one billion U.S. dollars.

00:40:46What did you say?

00:40:49Darling,

00:40:49look at this.

00:40:50I'm going to replace

00:40:51all those outdated suppliers

00:40:52Ava left behind.

00:40:55Why change them?

00:40:57Those companies

00:40:57have worked with us

00:40:58for ten years

00:40:58without a single mistake.

00:41:00Because they're too expensive.

00:41:02The batch I found

00:41:02is half the price.

00:41:04Oh!

00:41:04That woman,

00:41:04I treated her so well.

00:41:05And she betrayed me?

00:41:07You're the reliable one.

00:41:08Duari,

00:41:09it's backed by a top-tier lab.

00:41:10Absolutely proof.

00:41:13This is a third-party

00:41:15men's yet report.

00:41:16This patch of gong

00:41:16is nothing but

00:41:17inferior recycled scrap,

00:41:18not even meeting

00:41:19half of the minimum

00:41:20safety standards.

00:41:21Vanderbilt Group

00:41:22is not only macing bankruptcy,

00:41:23we'll have to bear

00:41:24criminal liability.

00:41:25Can you tell me

00:41:26what's going on?

00:41:27Didn't you say

00:41:28it was backed

00:41:28by a top-tier lab?

00:41:32I was deceived

00:41:33by the mid-middle man.

00:41:34I didn't know.

00:41:40Elena,

00:41:41you're fired.

00:41:42Get out of here

00:41:42with your disgusting lies

00:41:43right now.

00:41:44I never want to lay

00:41:45eyes on you again.

00:41:46Logan?

00:41:47For that bitch?

00:41:49You actually hit me?

00:41:51You're firing me

00:41:52over this little money?

00:41:53Get out.

00:41:54Drag this trash

00:41:54out of here.

00:41:58Chairman,

00:41:59if we can't come up

00:41:59with a solution

00:42:00before the market

00:42:00opens tomorrow,

00:42:01Vanderbilt's stock

00:42:02will be wiped out

00:42:02instantly.

00:42:03We're going bankrupt.

00:42:04Bankrupt?

00:42:05Vanderbilt's

00:42:06century-old legacy

00:42:07is going to be

00:42:07destroyed by me?

00:42:08If Ova were here,

00:42:09none of this

00:42:10would have happened.

00:42:11It's all my fault.

00:42:12How could I have

00:42:12been so blind

00:42:13to let a fool

00:42:14like Elena

00:42:14take the vice

00:42:15president's position?

00:42:16Chairman,

00:42:16I just received a tip.

00:42:18Miss Ava is now

00:42:18at Liberty Financial.

00:42:20What?

00:42:21How dare she go

00:42:22to that small-time

00:42:23company to become

00:42:24my competitor?

00:42:25Who gave her

00:42:25the audacity

00:42:26to betray me

00:42:27like this?

00:42:27Since you're not dead,

00:42:28you must come back

00:42:29and save my empire.

00:42:34Ava,

00:42:34I know your ambitions

00:42:35go far beyond this now.

00:42:36If we secure this deal,

00:42:37Liberty Financial

00:42:38would tear open a crack

00:42:39in the core

00:42:39North American market

00:42:40and soar to new heights.

00:42:41Chairman,

00:42:41I heard that for this

00:42:42Wansang International bid,

00:42:43the competitors

00:42:44are all established

00:42:45Wall Street financial giants

00:42:46and top-tier

00:42:47multinational corporations.

00:42:49She definitely can.

00:42:50In my dictionary,

00:42:51Ava is synonymous

00:42:52with miracle.

00:42:53You've never let me down

00:42:54before.

00:42:55This time will be

00:42:55your coronation

00:42:56once again.

00:42:58Ava is back!

00:43:07Liam, I'm sorry.

00:43:08It's okay.

00:43:09Even if we didn't

00:43:10sign this deal,

00:43:11it doesn't matter.

00:43:12As long as you

00:43:13come back safely,

00:43:13we have countless

00:43:14more opportunities.

00:43:18I said I'm sorry

00:43:19because starting tomorrow

00:43:20everyone might have

00:43:20to work overtime

00:43:21for a whole month.

00:43:21The contract,

00:43:22I got it.

00:43:28Sorry, I was just

00:43:29too excited.

00:43:29Oh my God.

00:43:30Signing with Wansang

00:43:30International means

00:43:31our company's valuation

00:43:32will double tonight.

00:43:33It's a miracle.

00:43:34Truly the undisputed

00:43:34queen of negotiation

00:43:35on Wall Street.

00:43:36Don't you shower me

00:43:37with praise.

00:43:38This is the result

00:43:39of the whole team's

00:43:40overnight due diligence.

00:43:41Without your data support,

00:43:42I couldn't have

00:43:42signed a single word.

00:43:45Ava, I finally found you.

00:43:47You despicable traitor.

00:43:48Get over here right now.

00:43:52Ava, get over here

00:43:53right now.

00:43:54Chairman Logan,

00:43:55aren't you busy

00:43:56planning that multi-billion

00:43:57dollar wedding of the

00:43:58century for Elena?

00:43:58What brings you to a

00:44:00small company like mine

00:44:01to throw a tantrum?

00:44:02Who gave you permission

00:44:02to change your phone number?

00:44:04Did I ever allow you

00:44:05to disappear from my site?

00:44:06And did you get my

00:44:07permission to work

00:44:07for this rival company?

00:44:08Chairman Don,

00:44:09it seems your memory

00:44:10is failing you.

00:44:10I've already resigned

00:44:11from your company.

00:44:12Where I go,

00:44:13even if it's to work

00:44:13on Mars,

00:44:14has nothing to do with you.

00:44:15Not even half a quent.

00:44:16Ava, I'm giving you

00:44:17one last chance.

00:44:18Get back to my company

00:44:19with me, now.

00:44:20Several major

00:44:20overseas short-sheeters

00:44:21are frankly attacking

00:44:22our stock price right now.

00:44:23You're the only one

00:44:23who can handle this mess.

00:44:25Sorry, but I'm now

00:44:26an executive partner

00:44:26at Liberty Financial.

00:44:27I have no obligation

00:44:28to help you patch up

00:44:29that dilapidated

00:44:30sinking boat anymore.

00:44:31Besides,

00:44:31don't you have

00:44:32your gun goddess Elena?

00:44:33Let her use her innocent face

00:44:34to get you through this crisis.

00:44:35Have you forgotten

00:44:36who helped you

00:44:36in the first place?

00:44:37If it weren't for me,

00:44:37you'd still be in the slums.

00:44:38It was me who put you

00:44:39in a top-tier vella,

00:44:40who brought you

00:44:40into the global

00:44:41financial circle.

00:44:42Listen,

00:44:42if you come with me now

00:44:43and help me solve

00:44:44this crisis,

00:44:44I can forgive

00:44:45your previous insolence

00:44:46and even reinstate you

00:44:47as vice president.

00:44:50Logan,

00:44:50I have no interest

00:44:51in that position anymore.

00:44:52I spent five years

00:44:53by your side

00:44:53as a substitute,

00:44:54handling countless

00:44:54shady bad debts for you

00:44:55and even took a bullet

00:44:56for Elena.

00:44:57The debts I owed

00:44:57have long been paid off.

00:44:58We are even now.

00:44:59Paid off?

00:45:00You can never repay

00:45:01what you owe me

00:45:01in this lifetime.

00:45:02Ava,

00:45:02as long as I haven't

00:45:03grown tired of you,

00:45:04you will always be

00:45:04my accessory.

00:45:05Come with me.

00:45:06Chairman Logan,

00:45:07this is Liberty Finance,

00:45:08not your backyard garden.

00:45:09Let her go.

00:45:09Who do you think you are,

00:45:10daring to cause problem

00:45:11at Liberty Finance

00:45:12and lay hands on our partner?

00:45:13I recognize him now.

00:45:15Hear this,

00:45:15the Vanderbilt,

00:45:15C2,

00:45:16unfamous,

00:45:18by Nenea's fuel

00:45:19social Elena

00:45:20from in a golf,

00:45:21causing core projects

00:45:22to blow up one after other.

00:45:23Now Vanderbilt

00:45:24is decaying on a load

00:45:25on Wall Street

00:45:25and on the verge of function.

00:45:26I heard Miss Ava

00:45:27poured her heart and soul

00:45:27into their company

00:45:28for five years

00:45:28and he actually kicked her

00:45:29out for a pretty face.

00:45:30Now that the company

00:45:31is in ruins,

00:45:31he remembers to come

00:45:32begging for our Miss Ava.

00:45:33Pure karma.

00:45:33He didn't recognize

00:45:34Ava's financial genius

00:45:35back then

00:45:35and now that he's

00:45:36going bankrupt,

00:45:37he thinks he can come

00:45:37crawling back?

00:45:38Dream on.

00:45:40Shut up.

00:45:41What do you

00:45:42bottom feeding insects know?

00:45:43I'm Ava's benefactor.

00:45:44I was the one

00:45:45who pulled her out of the mud.

00:45:46Ava,

00:45:46you owe me a debt

00:45:47you can never repay

00:45:48in this lifetime.

00:45:49This is between us.

00:45:50Outsiders have no right

00:45:50to interfere.

00:45:51Come back with me

00:45:52to settle this debt.

00:45:52Logan,

00:45:53I'm telling you

00:45:54for the last time,

00:45:54there's no way

00:45:55I'm going back with you.

00:45:56From the second

00:45:56I walked out of that villa,

00:45:58that absurd five years

00:45:59between us

00:45:59was already completely dead.

00:46:01Ava,

00:46:01how dare you speak

00:46:02to me in that tone?

00:46:03Who gave you

00:46:03the nerve to defy me?

00:46:12You,

00:46:13how dare you hit me?

00:46:16Logan,

00:46:17it's true that you

00:46:18helped A financially

00:46:18in the beginning,

00:46:19and that was a kindness,

00:46:20but that doesn't mean

00:46:21she sold herself

00:46:22to you for life.

00:46:22This slap is payback

00:46:23for the humiliation

00:46:24and games you put her

00:46:25through over these five years.

00:46:26As long as I'm here,

00:46:27you don't have the right

00:46:28to lay a fend

00:46:28on her ever again.

00:46:31This slap

00:46:32is to reclaim the dignity

00:46:33Ava lost over these five years.

00:46:36Liam,

00:46:37you...

00:46:37Ava,

00:46:38today is a day

00:46:38for celebration.

00:46:39There's no need

00:46:40to these past

00:46:40that eating buried

00:46:41in the grave

00:46:42infect your mead.

00:46:42As the company's

00:46:44greatest contributor,

00:46:44I wonder if I have

00:46:45the honor of inviting

00:46:46you to dinner tonight.

00:46:47Wow,

00:46:48is Chairman Liam

00:46:48going to confess publicly?

00:46:49I heard Liam

00:46:50has had a crush

00:46:51on Miss Ava

00:46:51since their Yale

00:46:52University days.

00:46:53That look in his eyes

00:46:53is impossible to hide.

00:46:54The heir of a

00:46:55top-tar family dynasty

00:46:56paired with the

00:46:56Queen of Finance?

00:46:57Now that's a true

00:46:58power couple.

00:46:59Ava,

00:46:59I've reserved a table

00:47:00at the top-reloving

00:47:01restaurant tonight.

00:47:02Come with me.

00:47:04Ava,

00:47:05since when have you

00:47:06had the guts

00:47:06to refuse my invitation?

00:47:08I'm sorry,

00:47:09Liam.

00:47:09I can't have dinner

00:47:10with you.

00:47:11Why?

00:47:11I knew it.

00:47:13This woman was my

00:47:13shadow for five years.

00:47:15That ingrained sense

00:47:16of inferiority

00:47:17can't be changed.

00:47:18She simply doesn't

00:47:19dare to defy me.

00:47:21Because I promised

00:47:22to treat the entire

00:47:23company to a celebration

00:47:24party this afternoon.

00:47:26What?

00:47:27You'd rather spend time

00:47:28with these knollers

00:47:29than with me?

00:47:30Don't worry, Ava.

00:47:31I've already arranged

00:47:32the hotel suite

00:47:32and champagne for the staff.

00:47:34As for you,

00:47:34you're the brightest star

00:47:35tonight,

00:47:36and I must personally

00:47:37celebrate your success.

00:47:38All right,

00:47:38let's go then.

00:47:40Ava,

00:47:41I'm standing

00:47:41right in front of you,

00:47:42and you dare to go

00:47:43on a date with another

00:47:44man right in front of me?

00:47:45Do you even see me

00:47:45as your fiancé anymore?

00:47:46Logan,

00:47:47let me correct you

00:47:47on two points.

00:47:48First,

00:47:49your fiancé is named Elena,

00:47:50and I'm just

00:47:51your former executive.

00:47:52Second,

00:47:52I've settled

00:47:53all our old debts.

00:47:54There's nothing

00:47:54between us anymore.

00:47:55Ava,

00:47:56take one step

00:47:57and see what happens.

00:48:00Hey,

00:48:00this outdated chairman,

00:48:01you can't go over there.

00:48:02Our Ava is busy

00:48:03on a date

00:48:03with her true love.

00:48:04What are you trying to do?

00:48:05Want to be

00:48:06a thousand watt light bulb?

00:48:12Ava,

00:48:13it prumens

00:48:13what the Pendwen

00:48:14has never be wrong.

00:48:15Since you took over,

00:48:16we've successfully acquired

00:48:17three core projects

00:48:18in a row.

00:48:19With this glass

00:48:20of top screed

00:48:21Ace of Spain's,

00:48:22I toast to the soul

00:48:23of our Liberty Financial.

00:48:25Liam,

00:48:26you're too kind.

00:48:27Without everyone's

00:48:27round-the-clock cooperation,

00:48:29I alone

00:48:29couldn't have pulled off

00:48:30an operation of this scale.

00:48:31Ava,

00:48:32to be honest,

00:48:32before you joined us,

00:48:33we were just burning

00:48:34through investors' money

00:48:35every day,

00:48:35almost hitting rock bottom.

00:48:37Yeah,

00:48:37if Ava hadn't joined

00:48:38and led us

00:48:38to this turnaround victory,

00:48:39this dinner tonight

00:48:40would probably be

00:48:40our farewell party.

00:48:41Don't talk nonsense.

00:48:42With Ava,

00:48:43our blueprint

00:48:43has just begun.

00:48:44To the future queen

00:48:45of Wall Street,

00:48:46bottoms up.

00:48:48Ava,

00:48:48haven't you noticed?

00:48:49You and our chairman

00:48:50Liam standing together

00:48:51are practically

00:48:51the textbook example

00:48:52of a top-tier

00:48:53Chibon couple.

00:48:54Exactly.

00:48:55Ever since Ava joined,

00:48:56I've never seen

00:48:56chairman Liam sober.

00:48:57His eyes are always

00:48:58full of pink bubbles.

00:48:59Can't all this premium

00:49:00steak shut you up?

00:49:01We agreed tonight,

00:49:03no one leaves

00:49:04until we're drunk.

00:49:05And whoever leaves

00:49:05first pays the bill.

00:49:11Oh, Ava,

00:49:12I can't go on.

00:49:13I'm seeing double.

00:49:15Chairman Liam

00:49:16is in your capable hands now.

00:49:17Right, right.

00:49:18My mom told me to go home

00:49:18for a late-night snack.

00:49:19If I'm late,

00:49:20she'll confiscate

00:49:20my credit card.

00:49:21The sacred mission

00:49:22of a scorch-a-junt

00:49:22falls to you?

00:49:24Hey,

00:49:25you bunch of traitors.

00:49:35Take it easy.

00:49:36You really should

00:49:37lose some weight,

00:49:38big guy.

00:49:49This is a photo of me

00:49:51from my university days?

00:49:54Damn it.

00:49:55I forgot to hide

00:49:56this incriminative evidence.

00:50:04Weren't you so drunk

00:50:05you could barely walk?

00:50:06I was a bit dizzy

00:50:07just now,

00:50:08but seeing this photo,

00:50:09I suddenly sobered up.

00:50:11How do you have a photo

00:50:12of me from my junior year?

00:50:14Back then,

00:50:14you were the star

00:50:15of the Yale football team,

00:50:16and I was just a part-time

00:50:17working student,

00:50:17practically invisible.

00:50:19Because long before

00:50:19that football game,

00:50:20I had already been

00:50:21watching you.

00:50:27Too expensive.

00:50:28That's enough for

00:50:28two months

00:50:28of my living expenses.

00:50:32I knew your family

00:50:33had gone bankrupt,

00:50:33and you were burdened

00:50:34with huge student loans.

00:50:36You could only save

00:50:36every penny to buy

00:50:37those obscure

00:50:37professional books.

00:50:49Back then,

00:50:50you only had eyes

00:50:50for Logan,

00:50:51the one who took you

00:50:52out of the slums.

00:50:54I was afraid

00:50:55of disturbing your happiness,

00:50:56so I could only hide

00:50:57my identity

00:50:58and silently help you

00:50:59in this clumsy way.

00:51:00After graduating

00:51:01from university,

00:51:02I knew you went

00:51:02to Logan's company

00:51:03out of gratitude.

00:51:04I watched you choose

00:51:05a path you didn't like,

00:51:06watched you step back

00:51:07for his ambitions

00:51:07and grow into

00:51:08the top elite

00:51:09step by step.

00:51:10No one knows

00:51:11how much you sacrificed,

00:51:12but I do.

00:51:13I know your heart

00:51:14was just broken

00:51:14by Logan.

00:51:15Five years of youth

00:51:16traded for betrayal.

00:51:20I know you can't

00:51:21fall in love

00:51:21with someone else

00:51:22right away,

00:51:22but I'm willing

00:51:23to wait.

00:51:25As long as you can

00:51:26walk out of that

00:51:26darkness.

00:51:27Even if you treat

00:51:28me as a tear

00:51:28for Logan,

00:51:29I'm willing.

00:51:30Liam,

00:51:32I'm sorry,

00:51:32I can't agree to that.

00:51:34I can't agree to that.

00:51:44Liam,

00:51:45I'm sorry,

00:51:45I can't agree

00:51:46to your proposal

00:51:46just now.

00:51:48I was too impatient,

00:51:50Ava.

00:51:50If you feel pressured,

00:51:51we can just be

00:51:52business partners.

00:51:53As long as I can

00:51:53be by your side,

00:51:54I'm willing to do

00:51:55anything.

00:51:56I mean,

00:51:56you should have.

00:51:57I don't need you

00:51:58to be anyone

00:51:58too tight.

00:51:59Liam,

00:52:00you are you.

00:52:00The one and only

00:52:01bright spot in my life.

00:52:03I'm no longer

00:52:03that humble steeder.

00:52:05Start a day.

00:52:06We'll need to forget

00:52:06someone to cash a new shop.

00:52:09So,

00:52:09does that mean we...

00:52:12Of course.

00:52:13I've always known

00:52:14it was you

00:52:15who silently helped me,

00:52:16but at that age

00:52:17when I couldn't even

00:52:17hold on to my dignity,

00:52:19I couldn't give you

00:52:20any response.

00:52:21Not until I walked

00:52:21into Liberty Financial

00:52:23and met that boy

00:52:24whose eyes

00:52:25were full of me

00:52:26once again.

00:52:31I heard that you

00:52:32were at the Vanderbilt

00:52:33Group.

00:52:33You were known

00:52:34as Drink Thousand

00:52:35Day One.

00:52:36Ancient of bomb

00:52:37Logan will cover

00:52:37that debt you

00:52:38got on a switch

00:52:38and down

00:52:39their health

00:52:39bot shots.

00:52:41If you drink

00:52:41these eight glasses

00:52:42today,

00:52:43this deal goes

00:52:43to Liberty Financial.

00:52:44Yeah,

00:52:44let us witness

00:52:45the drinking capacity

00:52:46of this financial queen.

00:52:49Black,

00:52:50if my partner

00:52:50needs to trade

00:52:51her life for a contract,

00:52:52then this deal

00:52:53isn't worth it.

00:52:54Ava,

00:52:54let's go.

00:52:58Liam,

00:52:59I'm willing

00:53:00to be your girlfriend.

00:53:01From now on,

00:53:01I will love you,

00:53:02cherish you,

00:53:03and protect you.

00:53:03Let's work hard

00:53:04together to build

00:53:04a real home

00:53:05that belongs to us

00:53:06in this cold sea.

00:53:07Ava,

00:53:08you're not just

00:53:09saying that

00:53:09to make me happy?

00:53:10I choose to be

00:53:10with you

00:53:11for no complicated

00:53:11reason,

00:53:12simply because

00:53:14I've also been

00:53:14hopelessly in love

00:53:15with you

00:53:15for a long time.

00:53:16I'm so happy,

00:53:17Ava.

00:53:18I feel like

00:53:18all the sunlight

00:53:19in the world

00:53:19has brightened

00:53:20at this moment.

00:53:35See you tomorrow,

00:53:35Ava.

00:53:36Have a pleasant evening.

00:53:37See you tomorrow.

00:53:45Where are you going?

00:53:46Get in the car,

00:53:46I'll give you a ride.

00:53:47Logan,

00:53:48who exactly are you

00:53:49performing these

00:53:49childish tricks for?

00:53:51Ava,

00:53:51I didn't handle

00:53:53things properly

00:53:53back then.

00:53:54I shouldn't have

00:53:55let you take the fall

00:53:56for that damn charge

00:53:56to protect Elena's

00:53:57reputation,

00:53:58forcing you to resign

00:53:59and leave the company.

00:54:00The position of

00:54:00Vice President

00:54:01at the Vanderbilt Group,

00:54:02I've kept it for you.

00:54:03The room that belongs

00:54:04to you at home,

00:54:05I've had it cleaned.

00:54:06Just say the word,

00:54:07and you can come back

00:54:08anytime.

00:54:09We can start over.

00:54:11Logan,

00:54:12I'm curious.

00:54:13Who gave you

00:54:14the confidence to think

00:54:14that I would give up

00:54:15my position as a

00:54:16global partner

00:54:16at Liberty Financial

00:54:17to return to your

00:54:18nearly bankrupt

00:54:19Vanderbilt Group?

00:54:20Just to be a

00:54:20vice-vectresser

00:54:21you can summon

00:54:21and dismiss at will?

00:54:24What are you

00:54:25talking about?

00:54:27And what makes

00:54:28you think

00:54:28that keeping

00:54:29that dark,

00:54:30damp,

00:54:30uninhabitable

00:54:31servant's room

00:54:31in your house

00:54:32for me

00:54:33is some great favor?

00:54:36Logan,

00:54:37stop wasting

00:54:37your time on me.

00:54:38Your persistence

00:54:38only makes me

00:54:39think less of you.

00:54:42Ava,

00:54:44since you have

00:54:44no feelings for me,

00:54:46I've prepared

00:54:46a better gift for you.

00:54:48I'm sure you'll like it.

00:54:55This is the place.

00:54:56Who exactly

00:54:57is this mysterious investor?

00:55:02Miss Ava,

00:55:03I presume?

00:55:03This way, please.

00:55:04Your table is ready.

00:55:05Is there a proposal

00:55:05happening here today?

00:55:06Something like that.

00:55:07A gentleman

00:55:08is preparing

00:55:08the most romantic

00:55:09surprise for you.

00:55:10Miss Ava,

00:55:10please take a seat first.

00:55:16So it's Ava

00:55:17that Logan

00:55:17wants to confess to.

00:55:18I'll mix that

00:55:19disfigurating potent patient

00:55:20into the red wine.

00:55:21Ava,

00:55:21this is what you get

00:55:22for stealing my man.

00:55:23Ava,

00:55:24you've really come

00:55:24to your end.

00:55:29It's you.

00:55:37So,

00:55:37the mysterious investor

00:55:38who anonymously

00:55:39requested a meeting

00:55:39for cooperation

00:55:40is you.

00:55:41To be precise,

00:55:41it's the who wants

00:55:42to beg on his knees

00:55:42to cooperate.

00:55:43Ava,

00:55:43don't go.

00:55:43Give me five minutes.

00:55:44I said the wrong thing

00:55:45at the summit entrance noon.

00:55:46That wasn't what I truly meant.

00:55:49Just say yes,

00:55:50and you'll be

00:55:51the Vanderbilt Group's

00:55:52sole representative

00:55:52in North America.

00:55:53The $50 million mansion

00:55:54in Manhattan,

00:55:55all the trust funds

00:55:55in my name,

00:55:56they'll all have

00:55:57your signature on them.

00:55:57Let's go back

00:55:58to how we were before.

00:55:59Back to when I only had you,

00:56:00okay?

00:56:01Ever since you left,

00:56:03everything has spiraled

00:56:03out of control for me.

00:56:05Why do those difficult

00:56:06shareholders and partners

00:56:06only recognize you?

00:56:08Ava,

00:56:08where are you?

00:56:09Only now do I realize

00:56:11that all my external success

00:56:12is because of you.

00:56:13It was only after

00:56:14the day you left me

00:56:15that I realized

00:56:15just how important

00:56:16you were to me.

00:56:16Ava,

00:56:17pour me a cup of coffee.

00:56:19I got used to working

00:56:20late nights

00:56:20with the coffee

00:56:21you brought me,

00:56:22used to you handling

00:56:22all my troubles.

00:56:23Without you,

00:56:24my world is just gray.

00:56:28Ava,

00:56:28I really can't live

00:56:29without you.

00:56:30For God's sake,

00:56:31come back to me.

00:56:32Logan,

00:56:32I've been by your side

00:56:33for so long.

00:56:34Have you ever respected me?

00:56:35Have you ever cared about me?

00:56:36I admit,

00:56:37I owe you a debt of gratitude,

00:56:38but these past five years

00:56:40I've already repaid it.

00:56:41You don't need to put on

00:56:41this act of deep affection

00:56:42for the sake of your

00:56:43pathetic possessiveness.

00:56:44Don't be so distant

00:56:45with me, Ava.

00:56:46Let's start over,

00:56:47like before.

00:56:48Let me spoil you again,

00:56:49okay?

00:56:50Don't you think you look

00:56:50like a child right now?

00:56:51Ava,

00:56:52listen to me.

00:56:52I'm not angry that you

00:56:53left Vanderbilt five years ago,

00:56:54really.

00:56:54I just think those unpleasant

00:56:56things are in the past now.

00:56:57Since it's all in the past,

00:56:58Chairman Logan,

00:56:59there's no need to lower

00:56:59yourself by bringing up

00:57:00old debts.

00:57:01The current distance

00:57:02is good for both of us.

00:57:03I've already humbled myself

00:57:04and apologized to you.

00:57:05Isn't that enough for you?

00:57:06I don't need your apology,

00:57:07and I have no interest

00:57:08playing hard to get with you.

00:57:09You should be more worried

00:57:10about your white moonlight.

00:57:11Won't Elena go crazy

00:57:12if she finds out you came

00:57:12to see me so publicly today?

00:57:14Don't mention her.

00:57:15We, we've broken up.

00:57:19Ava, you bitch.

00:57:20If it weren't for you

00:57:20setting me up and making me

00:57:21lose my vice president position,

00:57:22if it weren't for you,

00:57:23I would have long secured

00:57:24my place as Mrs. Vanderbilt.

00:57:25Look at what I've been

00:57:26reduced to now.

00:57:27I will make you pay

00:57:28a hundredfold.

00:57:29I've broken up

00:57:30and gotten back together

00:57:31with her countless times

00:57:31this past year,

00:57:32and I finally realized

00:57:33she's not the innocent girl

00:57:33I fell in love with

00:57:34at Yale back then.

00:57:35She's like a lunadeck.

00:57:36Every time I neglect her,

00:57:37she tries everything

00:57:37to hurt herself,

00:57:38even resorting to using her body.

00:57:39Such a cheap way

00:57:40to win me back.

00:57:41I'm really tired.

00:57:42Logan, I have zero interest

00:57:43in the low-level love-hate drama

00:57:44between you two.

00:57:45If you ask me out

00:57:46just to vent these emotional grievance,

00:57:47then I'm afraid

00:57:47I must excuse myself.

00:57:48Ava, stop acting like a child.

00:57:50Since we're both single,

00:57:51why don't we give

00:57:52a proper relationship a try?

00:57:53I only used to see her

00:57:54as a substitute,

00:57:54but if I really make her

00:57:56my official girlfriend,

00:57:57a queen of finance like her,

00:57:58she would be overwhelmed

00:57:59with gratitude and acceptance.

00:58:01Give me a chance.

00:58:02Be my girlfriend.

00:58:04I'm sorry, Chairman Logan.

00:58:05I have a husband,

00:58:06and what he gives me

00:58:07is always the best.

00:58:09What?

00:58:09What did you say?

00:58:13Ava, this is impossible.

00:58:14All of New York knows

00:58:15you used to be madly

00:58:15in love with me.

00:58:16How could you possibly

00:58:17love someone else?

00:58:17This must be your way

00:58:18of getting back at me.

00:58:19The ring is fake.

00:58:20Your marriage is fake, right?

00:58:21Logan, your arrogance

00:58:22is as nauseating as ever.

00:58:24Put it there

00:58:25and get out, Ava.

00:58:26Don't think doing something

00:58:27will earn you my love.

00:58:28You're just a well-behaved

00:58:29bitch I keep, understand?

00:58:31So he always knew.

00:58:32He always knew

00:58:32how much the old Ava loved him,

00:58:34yet he took everything

00:58:34I gave for granted.

00:58:35Just because of that

00:58:36sponsorship back then,

00:58:37he treated me like

00:58:38a lowly slave,

00:58:39summoning and dismissed

00:58:39me at Lily.

00:58:43All right,

00:58:43I know you're still

00:58:44angry with me.

00:58:45Is it because I made you

00:58:46take the blame for

00:58:47Elena's mistake

00:58:47all those years ago?

00:58:49Or because I made you

00:58:50move out of the villa?

00:58:50I'm not angry with you.

00:58:52It's just that all of that

00:58:53is in the past now.

00:58:54Listen, you can drop

00:58:54the act with that

00:58:55so-called contract boyfriend.

00:58:56I've completely broken

00:58:57things off with Elena.

00:58:58My patience is limited, Ava.

00:58:59Stop making a scene.

00:59:00I can give you a proper title.

00:59:01We can officially

00:59:02be boyfriend and girlfriend.

00:59:03Breaking up?

00:59:04Logan, you want to

00:59:05dump me for this bitch?

00:59:07If I can't have you,

00:59:08no one will.

00:59:09Logan, take back

00:59:10your cheap charity.

00:59:12I've already told you,

00:59:13I have a husband,

00:59:14and he's 10,000 times

00:59:15better than you.

00:59:16There will never be a place

00:59:18for you in my world again.

00:59:19Tomorrow, I'm leaving

00:59:20New York for Los Angeles.

00:59:22We won't be seeing

00:59:23each other again.

00:59:24Leaving?

00:59:25You can't possibly

00:59:26refuse me.

00:59:27I know it.

00:59:28You must have found

00:59:29another so-called boyfriend

00:59:30to trick me again,

00:59:31just like before.

00:59:42It's you?

00:59:43Ava!

00:59:44You're still trying

00:59:44to seduce my husband?

00:59:46You vicious woman,

00:59:47won't you be satisfied

00:59:48until you've driven

00:59:48me to my death?

00:59:50Me seducing your husband?

00:59:52What a joke.

00:59:53Everyone,

00:59:53come and look at this bitch.

00:59:54She used to cling

00:59:55to me and my husband

00:59:56like a stubborn piece of gum

00:59:57that wouldn't come off.

00:59:58Later, to climb the ladder,

00:59:59she shamelessly became

01:00:00Logan's secret mistress

01:00:01for five years,

01:00:02stubbornly staying in the villa

01:00:03and refusing to leave

01:00:04no matter what.

01:00:04Now Logan and I

01:00:05are about to get married,

01:00:06and she actually comes back

01:00:07to harass us

01:00:08like a persistent,

01:00:09low-class woman.

01:00:09Do you have any shame left?

01:00:11She looks so well-dressed,

01:00:13and she's a professional

01:00:14homewrecker.

01:00:15You really see

01:00:15all kinds of people

01:00:16these days.

01:00:17Women who get ahead

01:00:18through improper means

01:00:19have hearts as black

01:00:19as can be.

01:00:20You all be the judge.

01:00:22It's this woman

01:00:23who stole my vice-president position

01:00:25and took everything from me.

01:00:27Now that I'm down and out,

01:00:28she comes back

01:00:29flaunting her designer clothes?

01:00:30Ava, why don't you just die,

01:00:32you evil woman?

01:00:33Let him go.

01:00:44You, you bitch,

01:00:45how dare you hit me?

01:00:46Since you love smearing me

01:00:47with dirt so much,

01:00:48this slap is what you deserve.

01:00:50Say one more word,

01:00:52and I'll make you suffer

01:00:53a terrible death.

01:00:56Elena, I don't care

01:00:57what kind of dirty entanglement

01:00:58you still have with Logan.

01:01:00That's your business.

01:01:01Stay away from me

01:01:02from now on.

01:01:03Ava, since you've Aldi

01:01:05rolled out of New York

01:01:05and out of my sight,

01:01:06why do you have to come

01:01:07like a haunting ghost?

01:01:08Elena, don't assume

01:01:10everyone is like you,

01:01:11only capable of clinging to a man.

01:01:12Stop pretending.

01:01:13You came back

01:01:14because you still love Logan

01:01:15and can't let go

01:01:15of his power and influence, right?

01:01:17So now you want to come

01:01:17and humbly be

01:01:18his secret mistress again,

01:01:19just like before, don't you?

01:01:20I won't accept

01:01:21a single word of your slander.

01:01:22I'm here for work.

01:01:23I have my own family and life.

01:01:25As for you, Elena,

01:01:26that pure, selfless,

01:01:27and above-worldly

01:01:28Desire's white moonlight persona

01:01:29you meticulously built it

01:01:30for five years

01:01:30has completely crumbled

01:01:31to dust in front of Logan.

01:01:33Since you messed it up yourself,

01:01:35you should figure out a way

01:01:36to beg for his forgiveness yourself.

01:01:39Why come to take it out

01:01:40on an innocent moon?

01:01:41I have no obligation

01:01:42to help a woman like you

01:01:43keep a man

01:01:44who's changed his heart.

01:01:47You bitch!

01:01:48Shut up!

01:01:55Logan!

01:01:56Why are you so cold to me?

01:01:58You won't even answer my calls?

01:01:59Is it all because of this woman?

01:02:01It's Ava who ruined the future

01:02:02we were supposed to have,

01:02:03isn't it?

01:02:03Elena, wake up.

01:02:05Ava never clung to me.

01:02:06She even finds the thought

01:02:07of seeing me repulsive.

01:02:08Everyone listen up.

01:02:09Elena and I are completely over.

01:02:11So they broke up

01:02:12a long time ago?

01:02:13Then what's this woman doing here

01:02:14pretending to be the rightful white?

01:02:15No.

01:02:16Impossible.

01:02:17Why?

01:02:18Logan, you loved me so much

01:02:19back at Yale.

01:02:20You were even willing

01:02:21to defy your entire family for me.

01:02:22Why don't you love me anymore?

01:02:23Back then,

01:02:24funding you,

01:02:25even putting you

01:02:26in a high position,

01:02:28perhaps is all because

01:02:29I too arrogant.

01:02:30Perhaps what I loved before

01:02:31was just an illusion.

01:02:32A shadow I thought was real.

01:02:35After leaving Ava

01:02:36during countless

01:02:37sleepless nights,

01:02:38I realized

01:02:39that if I truly love

01:02:40is actually

01:02:42Logan,

01:02:43you can't leave.

01:02:44You can't just kick me out

01:02:45like this.

01:02:45Get out of my sight immediately.

01:02:46Otherwise,

01:02:47I won't mind making you

01:02:47disappear from all of New York.

01:02:48Security,

01:02:49drag this crazy woman out.

01:02:50No, Logan,

01:02:51Ava, you bitch.

01:02:51I won't let you get away with this.

01:02:53I'm the only one fit

01:02:53to be Mrs. Benderbell.

01:02:55Ava,

01:02:56I'm sorry.

01:02:57Logan,

01:02:57we're even now.

01:02:58There's no one

01:02:59who owes anyone an apology.

01:03:00No, Ava.

01:03:01I want to tell you

01:03:02I love you.

01:03:03It wasn't until you

01:03:04disappeared from my sight

01:03:05that I realized

01:03:06you're the one I love

01:03:06most in this life.

01:03:08Really?

01:03:09Back then,

01:03:09you liked Elena.

01:03:10You always took my efforts

01:03:11for granted,

01:03:12treated me like your slave.

01:03:13It's only now,

01:03:14after you've been together

01:03:15and grown tired

01:03:15of her despicable tricks,

01:03:16that you remember

01:03:17my good points.

01:03:17That's not true.

01:03:18Ava,

01:03:19it wasn't until

01:03:19I officially dated her

01:03:20that I realized

01:03:21how good you are.

01:03:22I started thinking

01:03:22about you like crazy,

01:03:24remembering every late night

01:03:24you stayed up with me,

01:03:25remembering that only you

01:03:26understood my ambitions.

01:03:27I couldn't see my own

01:03:28heart clearly before.

01:03:29It wasn't until I lost you

01:03:30that I understood

01:03:31the one I truly love

01:03:32is you.

01:03:32Ava,

01:03:32let's start over.

01:03:33Give us a real try,

01:03:34okay?

01:03:35Logan,

01:03:36I'm telling you

01:03:36for the last time,

01:03:37I'm already married.

01:03:40Married?

01:03:41Ava,

01:03:42you must be lying to me.

01:03:43Just like when you

01:03:43found a fake boyfriend

01:03:44in college

01:03:44to make me jealous,

01:03:45right?

01:03:46You must still

01:03:46have feelings for me.

01:03:47Otherwise,

01:03:48why would you go

01:03:48through all this trouble

01:03:49to make up such

01:03:49an absurd lie

01:03:50to deceive me?

01:03:52Logan,

01:03:53if you lay another

01:03:53hand on my wife,

01:03:54don't blame me

01:03:54for being polite.

01:03:55Let me introduce you.

01:03:56This is my husband,

01:03:57Liam,

01:03:58the global chairman

01:03:59of Liberty Financial.

01:04:00Husband,

01:04:01Liam,

01:04:03this can't be.

01:04:04How could this happen?

01:04:05Honey,

01:04:06this is Mr. Logan,

01:04:07the benefactor I mentioned

01:04:07before who supported

01:04:08me at Yale University

01:04:09and also my former friend.

01:04:10Mr. Logan,

01:04:11I've heard so much about you.

01:04:12My wife mentions you often.

01:04:16enough.

01:04:17Ava,

01:04:18you're quite the actress.

01:04:19To make me give up completely,

01:04:20you even hired a stand-in,

01:04:21didn't you?

01:04:22Stop lying to me.

01:04:23You can only marry me.

01:04:24How could you marry someone else?

01:04:26Logan,

01:04:26I really want to thank you

01:04:27for your past support of Ava.

01:04:29Without your generosity back then,

01:04:30I wouldn't have had the chance

01:04:31to meet such a perfect wife.

01:04:32If the Vanderbilt group

01:04:33ever needs anything

01:04:34from me in the future,

01:04:35I'll be your service

01:04:36as a way for my wife

01:04:37to repay your kindness.

01:04:38Logan,

01:04:39although I'm grateful

01:04:39for your support,

01:04:40it's really getting late.

01:04:41We have to catch our private jet

01:04:42back to Harbor City tomorrow,

01:04:43so we won't keep you any longer.

01:04:45Honey,

01:04:46let's go.

01:04:47Ava,

01:04:48are you really

01:04:49leaving tomorrow?

01:04:50Are you really going to

01:04:51leave my world completely?

01:04:52Yes.

01:04:53Goodbye, Mr. Logan.

01:05:22Honey,

01:05:23it's so early.

01:05:24Where are you going?

01:05:25Did I wake you?

01:05:27Be good,

01:05:27I'm going to get you breakfast.

01:05:32So diligent?

01:05:33Didn't you keep saying yesterday

01:05:34how much you liked the burgers here?

01:05:36Today's our last day here.

01:05:38I can't let you go back

01:05:39to Los Angeles with regrets,

01:05:40right?

01:05:41Thank you, honey.

01:05:43Come back soon.

01:05:47Honey,

01:05:48I'll personally take care

01:05:49of ending your troubles for you.

01:05:57So,

01:05:57what do you want to see me about?

01:06:02$30 million.

01:06:05Take this money

01:06:06and leave Ava for good.

01:06:07A woman at the pinnacle

01:06:08of finance like her

01:06:09is not someone

01:06:09an ordinary man like you

01:06:11who relies on his looks

01:06:12can aspire to.

01:06:13This money is enough

01:06:13for you to squagger

01:06:14for the rest of your life.

01:06:15Name your price

01:06:16and stay away from her.

01:06:20You're telling me

01:06:21to leave, Ava.

01:06:24What,

01:06:25not enough?

01:06:26Liam,

01:06:26don't play the top-tier tycoon

01:06:27in front of me.

01:06:28I've looked into you.

01:06:29Back at Yale University,

01:06:31you were just a poor student

01:06:32barely scraping by

01:06:33on scholarships

01:06:33and part-time works.

01:06:35That ingrained poverty

01:06:36straken air about you,

01:06:37you can't wash it off

01:06:38no matter how many suits

01:06:39you change into.

01:06:43For someone like you,

01:06:45who's already bankrupt

01:06:45and can't even afford

01:06:46the liquidation bills,

01:06:47these $30 million

01:06:48are indeed enough

01:06:49for you to live

01:06:50like a nouveau riche

01:06:51in the slums

01:06:51for the rest of your life.

01:06:54You still only know

01:06:55how to measure everything

01:06:55with this filthy money.

01:06:57Ava choosing you

01:06:58who is truly blind.

01:07:03Talking to me about money?

01:07:05Logan,

01:07:05back then you treated Ava

01:07:06as a substitute for Elena,

01:07:08summoning her at will

01:07:09and dismissing her

01:07:10just as easily.

01:07:10With those pitiful

01:07:11so-called funding resources

01:07:13and a few charity black cards,

01:07:14you actually thought

01:07:15you could buy out

01:07:16her entire five years

01:07:17of use and dignity.

01:07:18The moment you pushed her out

01:07:20to take the fall for that woman

01:07:21and left her to fend

01:07:22for herself in the rain,

01:07:23you completely lost the right

01:07:25to stand here

01:07:26and talk about her

01:07:27in that tone with me.

01:07:35What are you doing?

01:07:36Who gave you permission

01:07:37to touch my things?

01:07:38This is the Vanderbilt Group!

01:07:40Mr. Logan,

01:07:40we're finished.

01:07:41Because of those

01:07:41Shell Company guarantee slips

01:07:42Elena signed,

01:07:43plus the FBI case against her

01:07:44for selling sub-bandered

01:07:45construction equipment privately,

01:07:46the court declared us

01:07:46officially bankrupt

01:07:47an hour ago.

01:07:48Bankrupt's impossible.

01:07:49When Ava was here,

01:07:49we were still the financial leader

01:07:50of Manhattan.

01:07:50How long has it been?

01:07:51How could we possibly

01:07:52go bankrupt?

01:07:53Get out!

01:07:53Don't touch my assets!

01:07:54This is my empire!

01:07:55Mr. Logan,

01:07:56please keep your distance.

01:07:56The liquidation process

01:07:57has already begun.

01:07:58If you continue to interfere

01:07:59with official duties,

01:08:00we will be forced

01:08:00to take action.

01:08:05I'm such a fool.

01:08:06Ava was clearly the one

01:08:07holding up the empire,

01:08:08and I kicked her out of the company

01:08:10to protect that useless waste,

01:08:11Elena.

01:08:19Elena just joined

01:08:20Vanderbilt Group.

01:08:21She is my chosen future wife,

01:08:22and her record absolutely

01:08:23cannot have any blemish.

01:08:30Fine.

01:08:31This one last time.

01:08:33I'll take the bullet

01:08:34for you one last time.

01:08:35If Ava were still here,

01:08:37the company wouldn't have collapsed.

01:08:39I'd still be that arrogant CEO.

01:08:40Now it's all gone.

01:08:42Logan,

01:08:43I have no interest

01:08:43in that position anymore.

01:08:44I spent five years

01:08:45by your side as a substitute,

01:08:46handling countless shady

01:08:47bad debts for you,

01:08:48and even took a bullet

01:08:48for Elena.

01:08:49The debt I owed

01:08:50had long been paid off.

01:08:51We are even now.

01:08:51I always felt

01:08:52that she owed me something,

01:08:52and that all the sacrifices

01:08:53she made were deserved.

01:08:54I was wrong.

01:08:55Ridiculously wrong.

01:08:59Chairman,

01:09:00I personally spent

01:09:01half a month

01:09:01in Silicon Valley

01:09:02to coach this sales genius,

01:09:04Carter.

01:09:04With him on board,

01:09:06no one can touch

01:09:06Vanderbilt's market share

01:09:07in North America.

01:09:09This man's background

01:09:10is indeed

01:09:10clean and formidable.

01:09:13And these offshore projects,

01:09:14I've been tracking them

01:09:15for two years.

01:09:16I've pinzily done

01:09:17all the risk assessments.

01:09:18As long as I'm here,

01:09:19none of your decisions

01:09:20will go wrong.

01:09:21If Ava were still

01:09:22by my side,

01:09:23I'd still be that top heir

01:09:24surrounded by admirers.

01:09:26She would have handled

01:09:26all the trouble.

01:09:30It wasn't until today

01:09:31that I realized

01:09:31the person who loved me

01:09:32most in this world

01:09:33was actually destroyed

01:09:34by my own hands.

01:09:39What is Elena?

01:09:40She's not even

01:09:40one ten thousandth

01:09:41of Ava.

01:09:42I've lost the most

01:09:42precious treasure in the world.

01:09:44No, I can't give up

01:09:45like this.

01:09:45I believe Ava still loves me.

01:09:46I have to find her.

01:09:48Win her back.

01:09:49Ava!

01:09:49Don't go!

01:09:50Ava!

01:09:51Young man,

01:09:52you've got some nerve

01:09:52blocking my car.

01:09:53But you are quite a looker.

01:09:54I just got rid of

01:09:55my last boy toy, you know.

01:09:56If you behave,

01:09:57I might just take you

01:09:57under my wing.

01:09:59Get away from me!

01:10:00Don't you dare touch me

01:10:01with your filthy hands!

01:10:02Get lost!

01:10:03A down-and-out loser

01:10:04putting on airs?

01:10:05You don't know

01:10:06what's good for you.

01:10:12What's wrong?

01:10:14Nothing.

01:10:15I just remembered

01:10:16a really good restaurant.

01:10:17Let me take you there.

01:10:18Sure.

01:10:23You order first.

01:10:24I'm going to the restroom.

01:10:25Okay.

01:10:39Hello, this is the chairman

01:10:40of Vanderbilt.

01:10:41Who is this?

01:10:41This is Liam,

01:10:42chairman of Liberty Financial.

01:10:43Mr. Liam,

01:10:45what can I do for you

01:10:46with this sudden call?

01:10:47I think you should discipline

01:10:48your son Logan properly.

01:10:49Ava is my wife now,

01:10:50my beloved.

01:10:51And your son has been acting

01:10:52like a madman

01:10:53these past few days,

01:10:54severely disrupting

01:10:55our family life,

01:10:56even daring to challenge

01:10:57my bottom line.

01:10:59I understand what you mean.

01:11:01I'll handle it.

01:11:10Hey, Dad.

01:11:11You bastard.

01:11:12Do you have any idea

01:11:13who you're messing with?

01:11:14Ava is now the wife of Liam,

01:11:15the founder of the

01:11:16global financial giant

01:11:17Liberty Financial,

01:11:18a chairman worth

01:11:19hundreds of billions.

01:11:20What?

01:11:21Listen, if you want

01:11:21to keep your life,

01:11:22get your ass home right now.

01:11:24Otherwise, I'll announce today

01:11:25that I'm stripping you

01:11:26of all your inheritance rights

01:11:27and you're out

01:11:28of the Vanderbilt family

01:11:29for good.

01:11:31What?

01:11:32Liam,

01:11:32is that mysterious mastermind

01:11:34behind Liberty?

01:11:35Impossible.

01:11:35Absolutely impossible.

01:11:37That man who just seemed

01:11:37to buy breakfast

01:11:38and take care of kids

01:11:39for Ava

01:11:39is actually the titan

01:11:40who holds the global

01:11:41financial lifeline

01:11:41worth hundreds of billions?

01:11:42I actually,

01:11:43I actually dared to think

01:11:44I could,

01:11:45with a mere 30 million dollars,

01:11:46what the hell have I done?

01:12:00Elena,

01:12:00if that loser Logan

01:12:01knew you were keeping

01:12:02a man in his marital bed,

01:12:03wouldn't he go crazy

01:12:04on the spot?

01:12:06He's busy dealing

01:12:07with the FBI's bankruptcy

01:12:08investigation right now.

01:12:09How could he have the time

01:12:10to care about me?

01:12:11You're really ruthless.

01:12:12You emptied his overseas accounts,

01:12:13brought down his Vanderbilt group,

01:12:15and yet you secured

01:12:15a 50 million dollar

01:12:16escape route for yourself.

01:12:17I do love this foolish man,

01:12:18but I only love his money.

01:12:19Now that he has

01:12:20no more use value,

01:12:21of course I need to find

01:12:21someone younger

01:12:22and more obedient.

01:12:23Elena,

01:12:23what are you doing?

01:12:26Have you no shame?

01:12:28Messing around in my villa,

01:12:29on my bed?

01:12:30You heartless woman!

01:12:32I was truly blind back then,

01:12:33to have abandoned ABBA

01:12:34for someone like you.

01:12:37Logan,

01:12:38have you lost your mind?

01:12:40I just brought a friend

01:12:40back to have some fun.

01:12:42Is it worth getting

01:12:42so worked up over?

01:12:43You're my fiancé.

01:12:44You're using my money

01:12:45to support other men,

01:12:46and you expect me

01:12:46not to be angry?

01:12:47Stop pretending

01:12:48to be so devoted.

01:12:49Back at Yale,

01:12:49I changed men every day,

01:12:50all funded by the money

01:12:51you gave me.

01:12:52Did you really think

01:12:52I loved you?

01:12:53I loved the Vanderbilt family

01:12:54behind you,

01:12:55the one that could buy me

01:12:55her mess and get me

01:12:56to the Grammy Awards.

01:12:57Logan,

01:12:57this guy's a broke,

01:12:58debt-rended bankrupt up now.

01:12:59There's no need for us

01:12:59to waste words on him.

01:13:00You swindled all my money

01:13:01and ruined the company.

01:13:02I'm going to send you to prison.

01:13:04Black has already helped me

01:13:04transfer the money out.

01:13:06He's my true love now,

01:13:07your history.

01:13:11I used to fawn over you

01:13:12like a dog

01:13:13because you were supporting me.

01:13:15Now you're not even as good

01:13:16as a stray dog.

01:13:17What do you think you are?

01:13:21I paid for your college.

01:13:22I paid for you to come back

01:13:23and be vice president.

01:13:24For you, Ava left.

01:13:25My company is gone.

01:13:26How could you do this to me?

01:13:27That's because you were willing

01:13:28to be the sucker.

01:13:30Who's to blame

01:13:30for your stupidity?

01:13:31Now you don't have

01:13:32a single penny left.

01:13:33What gives you the right

01:13:34to tell me what to do?

01:13:35Black, let's go.

01:13:36This place reeks

01:13:37of sour failure.

01:13:38Let's find another hotel

01:13:38to continue.

01:13:39You got it.

01:13:40I'll make sure

01:13:41to serve my queen well today.

01:13:42Stop!

01:13:43Give back all the money

01:13:44you swindled from me.

01:13:45Every single cent

01:13:46I ever spent on you.

01:13:47Dream on.

01:13:48That's the compensation

01:13:49you owe me for my youth.

01:13:50Get lost.

01:13:51Ava, I was wrong.

01:13:52It turns out you were

01:13:53the only one in this world

01:13:54who truly cared for me

01:13:54and I lost the woman

01:13:55who loved me most in life.

01:13:56Elena,

01:13:58you ruined me

01:13:59and I swear

01:14:00I won't let you get away with it.

01:14:11Ava, I just received news

01:14:12from Hei Cheng.

01:14:13The Vanderbilt Group

01:14:13has been completely liquidated

01:14:15due to the failure

01:14:15of several fatal

01:14:16gambling agreements

01:14:17plus the major

01:14:17engineering accident

01:14:18caused by the batch

01:14:19of construction equipment

01:14:20Elena was responsible for.

01:14:22Aren't you the least bit curious?

01:14:24Without you,

01:14:25the anchor that held

01:14:25everything together,

01:14:26that empire once hailed

01:14:27as unsinkable

01:14:28has collapsed so quickly.

01:14:29It's not surprising at all.

01:14:31From the moment

01:14:32I walked out of that office,

01:14:33Logan and his company

01:14:34have been nothing

01:14:34but a moldy old debt

01:14:35in my life.

01:14:36If it's trash,

01:14:37it's only a matter of time

01:14:38before it gets cleaned up.

01:14:39There's something

01:14:40even more interesting.

01:14:41Logan,

01:14:41driven by extreme hatred

01:14:43because Elena

01:14:43took his last life string

01:14:44and publicly humiliated him,

01:14:46killed Elena

01:14:46on the streets of Manhattan.

01:14:47He's facing

01:14:48the most severe charges.

01:14:51He has only himself

01:14:52to blame for falling

01:14:53to the state,

01:14:54for loving a poison

01:14:55he shouldn't have.

01:14:55But the people and things

01:14:56in that ruin

01:14:57have nothing to do

01:14:57with me anymore.

01:14:58All I want now

01:14:59is to build our life well.

01:15:00Right.

01:15:03But tonight,

01:15:04we have an important topic

01:15:05to discuss.

01:15:06I haven't heard

01:15:07about any meeting tonight.

01:15:08The topic I'm talking about

01:15:10is how many lively

01:15:11and adorable little babies

01:15:12we're going to have.
