00:00:07That watch is my father's only keepsake. It's the Everhead family heirloom, a symbol of our legacy.
00:00:14You must find the woman wearing it. She saved my life.
00:00:16Yes, sir.
00:00:36And she'll be my future wife.
00:00:38Oh, my goodness. How did I end up with a stranger?
00:00:44Isabella, what happened?
00:00:45Tim is in debt from gambling, and he even hit me. I'm pregnant with his child.
00:00:49Claire, can you lend me some money? I need a place to hide, or he'll kill me.
00:00:53Don't worry. I saved up 50 grand for my part-time jobs. Take it for now.
00:00:57I've got a baby on the way. How could this possibly be enough?
00:01:02This watch looks expensive. If I sell it, that should cover it. That watch is...
00:01:12Hurry. I need to sell this watch.
00:01:19Miss, please wait a moment.
00:01:27Mr. Everhardt, we found the woman with the watch.
00:01:31Let's go.
00:01:51Were you the woman at hotel last night?
00:02:01What the hell are you doing?
00:02:04Easy, ma'am.
00:02:05This is Sebastian Everhardt, CEO of Everhardt Corp.
00:02:08He was drugged last night, and you spent the night with him.
00:02:11He came personally to thank you.
00:02:12I never expect Claire to save such a big shot.
00:02:15But now, I'm the one who saved him.
00:02:18Yes, I was the woman from last night.
00:02:21I really went through a lot to help you.
00:02:25Her scent is different from last night.
00:02:30Excuse me.
00:02:34Claire, I've gone abroad.
00:02:37Don't contact me again.
00:02:40Mommy, I don't want to wear clothes like this anymore.
00:02:43I don't like people seeing my birthmark.
00:02:46Hey, that mark makes you special.
00:02:50You special. You got it from your dad.
00:02:51It's part of who you are.
00:02:53Then, where is my daddy?
00:02:56I can't say she was born on a night when she didn't know her father.
00:03:00I don't even remember what he looks like.
00:03:03Sweetie, I need to take this.
00:03:05The car's almost here.
00:03:06It should be black.
00:03:10This one!
00:03:14Wow, you look just like I imagined my daddy would.
00:03:21I'm not your dad.
00:03:22That's okay.
00:03:23Maybe we were meant to meet.
00:03:25You're so handsome.
00:03:27Can you be my daddy?
00:03:28My mom's perfect.
00:03:29You'll like her.
00:03:33Emma!
00:03:34What are you doing in there?
00:03:35That's not our car!
00:03:36Come out!
00:03:37Now!
00:03:37You should keep a closer eye on her.
00:03:41Don't be mean to my mommy!
00:03:43Emma, he's right.
00:03:44I should have been watching.
00:03:46Go on.
00:03:47Say sorry.
00:03:51I'm sorry.
00:03:53She's good with kids.
00:03:54A real mom.
00:03:56It's fine.
00:03:59Emma, don't ever run off like that again.
00:04:02You really scared me.
00:04:03I'm sorry, mommy.
00:04:04I won't do it again.
00:04:12But they're excited from my sister all these years.
00:04:15I don't even know how your aunt Isabella is doing.
00:04:17I can't reach her by phone.
00:04:21Sebastian?
00:04:24You're allergic to metal, so I had the buckle made of pure gold.
00:04:28Let me see how it looks on you.
00:04:33It's been six years, Sebastian, and you still won't touch me.
00:04:38Do you really feel nothing for me?
00:04:41There's only responsibility to the child between us.
00:04:44Nothing more.
00:04:45Noah!
00:04:45Please stop!
00:04:47Stop!
00:04:48Gotcha!
00:04:49It's so funny!
00:04:55Stop it!
00:04:56What are you doing?
00:04:56Mr. Everhard, help me!
00:04:58Why?
00:04:59I'm not done playing yet.
00:05:05Bastion, he's just a kid.
00:05:07He's acting out.
00:05:12Noah, apologize!
00:05:14No!
00:05:14You said I'm special!
00:05:16You said I have the Everhard family's birthmark, so these servants are all my servants.
00:05:20I can do what I want!
00:05:22This is what you call parenting?
00:05:25I never said that.
00:05:26He must have misunderstood.
00:05:27I burned that Everhard family's birthmark onto his skin when he was born.
00:05:30Now it's fading.
00:05:31I need Sebastian to be mine before he realizes the truth.
00:05:35Isabella will ruin that child if this goes on.
00:05:36I need custody.
00:05:37Fast.
00:05:38Have you found a lawyer?
00:05:39Yes, sir.
00:05:40Miss Claire Taylor has a 100% success rate for custody cases.
00:05:42She's available today.
00:05:44It's her.
00:05:48Claire, you've done well in the recent cases.
00:05:50We've received great feedback.
00:05:51Thank you, sir.
00:05:55I could send a few more cases your way, if you're willing to show some appreciation.
00:06:00You're crossing the line.
00:06:02As a lawyer, you should know the consequences of harassment.
00:06:05What consequences would those be?
00:06:08No cameras here.
00:06:09No proof.
00:06:10It's your word against mine.
00:06:18Let go of me!
00:06:30How dare you lay a hand on her?
00:06:33Mr. Everhealth, please!
00:06:35I didn't know!
00:06:36Stay out of her sight.
00:06:38And mine.
00:06:39Please, Mr. Everhealth, I'm sorry!
00:06:41Thanks for stepping in back there.
00:06:43That firm's a liability.
00:06:45Everhut Corp could use someone like you in-house.
00:06:47In-house counsel?
00:06:48At Everheart Corp, one of the top 100 global companies valued in the hundreds of billions?
00:06:53Come on, Mr. Everheart, that sounds like a scam.
00:06:55It's legitimate, Miss Taylor.
00:06:56We've reviewed your case history, especially your custody wins.
00:06:59Mr. Everheart's looking for a lead counsel for family affairs and compliance.
00:07:02Mr. Everheart, are you married?
00:07:05No.
00:07:06Typical rich man.
00:07:07Shameless.
00:07:08Don't worry about compensation.
00:07:10Name your number.
00:07:12Say, $50,000 a month?
00:07:14Five million a year.
00:07:16Five million?
00:07:19That's very generous of you, Mr. Everheart.
00:07:22I'll make sure you win.
00:07:23Report to Everheart Corp tomorrow.
00:07:29Sweetie, stay right here, okay?
00:07:31I need to talk to Mr. Everheart about work.
00:07:34Be polite to everyone, got it?
00:07:36Got it, Mommy.
00:07:37Mommy.
00:07:38Mommy.
00:07:42Who brought a kid into this office?
00:07:44Good morning, sir.
00:07:45My name's Emma Taylor.
00:07:47My mommy's Claire Taylor.
00:07:48She's the new lawyer here today.
00:07:50First day and she brings a kid?
00:07:52Great.
00:07:53Listen.
00:07:53While you're on my floor, you work for me.
00:07:56What should I do?
00:07:57Go on.
00:07:58Sort those by color or size on the shelves.
00:08:00Whichever's faster.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:02I'll try my best.
00:08:06Get me a glass of water.
00:08:07Remember, I only drink water that's exactly 98 degrees.
00:08:13It's cold.
00:08:23Sweetie, are you okay?
00:08:24Mommy, I was polite and did everything right.
00:08:27I don't know why he got mad at me.
00:08:29Care to explain?
00:08:30Mr. Everheart, since he made me fix the books and bring water,
00:08:33maybe he should do the cleaning and bring water for my mommy.
00:08:37You heard her.
00:08:37Yes, sir.
00:08:39Send out a memo.
00:08:40Employees may bring their children to work.
00:08:42And this Christmas, we'll host a family fun day.
00:08:44Everyone, and their families are invited.
00:08:46Yes, sir.
00:09:08I've got this.
00:09:09It's okay.
00:09:12If it happens again, consider yourself done.
00:09:16Understood.
00:09:21Mommy, look.
00:09:22There are so many fun things here.
00:09:24Let's go check it out.
00:09:25Ugh, this family stuff is so lame.
00:09:27Why do we even have to come?
00:09:28Noah, this is your dad's company event.
00:09:30We need to remind everyone, especially him, that we're his family.
00:09:32We belong here.
00:09:37Isabella?
00:09:42What are you doing here?
00:09:43What are you doing here?
00:09:45It's really you.
00:09:46Why haven't you contacted me all these years?
00:09:47How have you been?
00:09:48I've been fine.
00:09:50Oh, so you're Aunt Isabella.
00:09:52Hi, I'm Mommy's daughter.
00:09:53You can call me Emma.
00:09:54Mommy says she misses you all the time.
00:09:57Is this your little boy?
00:09:58With Tim?
00:10:00Does he work at Everhart Corp, too?
00:10:02She can't find out I've taken her place.
00:10:04Not ever.
00:10:06Isabella, what's going on?
00:10:07Talk to me.
00:10:07Tim changed his name.
00:10:08He had debts.
00:10:09Gambling.
00:10:09Just don't mention that name again.
00:10:10Why are you still with him?
00:10:11He's changed.
00:10:12He's successful now.
00:10:12We're fine.
00:10:13Isabella, gambling and abuse don't just disappear.
00:10:16You have to...
00:10:17What?
00:10:17You think I don't deserve a good life?
00:10:18You're just a poor single mom.
00:10:20Don't lecture me.
00:10:21Isabella, you don't remember how he hit you?
00:10:23I helped you escape.
00:10:24I gave you money.
00:10:26So that's what this is about?
00:10:28The money?
00:10:29I can't let her stay in my life.
00:10:31Not if I want to protect what I've built.
00:10:33One million dollars?
00:10:35Is that enough for you?
00:10:36From now on, I want nothing to do with you.
00:10:39Take it and disappear from my life.
00:10:53Isabella, how can you put a price on our sister hip?
00:10:59Mommy, arguing will hurt everyone's feelings.
00:11:02Let's go look around, okay?
00:11:04You're right.
00:11:05Let's go.
00:11:11What was that about?
00:11:13Oh, nothing.
00:11:13Just a small misunderstanding.
00:11:15Sebastian, this is the perfect time to introduce Noah and me properly.
00:11:19Not now.
00:11:20Not now, again?
00:11:21It's been six years already.
00:11:23How much longer?
00:11:25Welcome to the three-legged race.
00:11:28Miss, I really want this doll.
00:11:31Can my mommy and I join?
00:11:33This one's for parents, for your daddy and mommy to participate.
00:11:38But I don't have a daddy.
00:11:45Mr. Everhart, can you be my daddy for the race?
00:11:48Please, I really want that doll.
00:11:51Mr. Ever, I'm so sorry.
00:11:52This game, have a Darren.
00:11:54Sure.
00:11:54Come on, let's win this.
00:11:59Daddy, mommy, go, go!
00:12:01I can't believe this.
00:12:02Mr. Everhart's actually racing.
00:12:08She smells exactly like the woman from six years ago.
00:12:14Oops!
00:12:16Actually, the doll was an excuse.
00:12:18I just wanted daddy and mommy to hug each other.
00:12:21Emma!
00:12:30He is so handsome.
00:12:32If you wanted me underneath you, at least buy me dinner first.
00:12:36Relax, Miss Taylor.
00:12:37You're blushing, so I'm not the one with dirty thoughts here.
00:12:40Ow!
00:12:41Ow!
00:12:41My ankle!
00:12:42Right away!
00:12:44Look at Emma.
00:12:46She just knows how to charm people, doesn't she?
00:12:48Why can't you be more like her?
00:12:50It's fine.
00:12:51I'll handle this.
00:12:52We'll make sure they don't stand in our way.
00:13:00This one's for mommy.
00:13:04You can't eat that cake.
00:13:06Put it back.
00:13:10I said put it back.
00:13:12You can't take it.
00:13:16It's for mommy.
00:13:18I won't put it back.
00:13:20I won't put it back.
00:13:22Hmm.
00:13:23Ah!
00:13:28Emma?
00:13:29Noah?
00:13:32But the sign says it's for everyone.
00:13:35Why can't I?
00:13:36Because I said so.
00:13:37I'm the prince here.
00:13:38Everyone does what I say.
00:13:42That's not nice.
00:13:44And wasting food is wrong.
00:13:46Only poor people care about that.
00:13:48Look at you.
00:13:49Cheap clothes.
00:13:50No manners.
00:13:52She's always bothering my dad and won't leave him alone.
00:13:55You aren't wanted here.
00:13:57And you don't fit in at all.
00:13:59Don't talk about my mommy like that.
00:14:01I just did.
00:14:02What are you gonna do about it?
00:14:04Ah!
00:14:08Mommy, help me.
00:14:20Emma!
00:14:21What is it?
00:14:22It's Emma.
00:14:23Something's wrong.
00:14:25Get up, you little loser.
00:14:29Mom.
00:14:30Mommy.
00:14:31Noah, she doesn't look good.
00:14:33Shut up!
00:14:33That's what she gets.
00:14:38What?
00:14:38What?
00:14:39What?
00:14:39What?
00:14:40What?
00:14:40What?
00:14:40If you won't get up, then just die here.
00:14:43No one will ever find her.
00:14:45Mom said, this is how it should be.
00:14:56Emma!
00:14:57Where are you?
00:14:59Mom.
00:14:59Mommy.
00:15:02Emma.
00:15:03Emma?
00:15:05Emma?
00:15:06Emma!
00:15:07Emma!
00:15:11Call an ambulance.
00:15:12Hurry!
00:15:13There's no time.
00:15:14Come with me.
00:15:16Hurry!
00:15:17The kid needs emergency treatment.
00:15:18The kid needs emergency treatment.
00:15:21Find out who did this.
00:15:22Find out who did this.
00:15:26Understood.
00:15:28It's all my fault.
00:15:30I shouldn't have left her alone.
00:15:31Don't blame yourself.
00:15:32She got hurt at Everharn Corp.
00:15:34I'll take full responsibility.
00:15:37She'll be okay.
00:15:38I promise.
00:15:41Why are you so kind to us?
00:15:43Why am I?
00:15:44Why do I care so much about her and Emma?
00:15:48The child's breathing is shallow.
00:15:50Pulse erratic.
00:15:51Looks like an allergic reaction.
00:15:52Is she allergic to anything?
00:15:54She's allergic to metal.
00:15:56Metal allergy?
00:15:58Could Emma be my daughter?
00:15:59Could Emma be my daughter?
00:16:06Let me see her.
00:16:08Sir, let us handle this.
00:16:10Now step back.
00:16:21How's Emma?
00:16:21The doctor said she's going to be fine.
00:16:24Thank God.
00:16:26Tell me something.
00:16:27How old is she?
00:16:28When's her birthday?
00:16:30He doesn't need to know.
00:16:32There's no truth to share.
00:16:34She's four and a half.
00:16:35June baby.
00:16:36Why do you ask Mr. Everhart?
00:16:38The math doesn't line up.
00:16:40The timing's wrong.
00:16:42Must be coincidence.
00:16:43No reason.
00:16:44Just curious.
00:16:46Emma isn't my daughter.
00:16:49Mr. Everhart.
00:16:51We confirmed who started the bullying incident.
00:16:55Say it.
00:16:58It was your son, Noah.
00:17:08Mr. Everhart, why did you call me here?
00:17:10How's the custody case going?
00:17:11Why must you fight for custody?
00:17:13Kids do better when they grow up with parents.
00:17:15She is not a good mother.
00:17:17That's why he has turned out this way.
00:17:18Mr. Everhart, you've had enough.
00:17:21Mr. Everhart, I didn't mean to.
00:17:33Mr. Everhart, when was the last time you actually took a shower?
00:17:47I shower every day.
00:17:51You tell me.
00:17:53Still think I'm dirty?
00:17:54That's not what I meant.
00:17:56Is that all you see me as?
00:17:57Your boss?
00:17:58What else should it be?
00:18:06What about this?
00:18:09Mr. Everhart, you're drunk.
00:18:12Such an unromantic woman.
00:18:15Faster!
00:18:16Bark like a dog!
00:18:25Mr. Everhart, help me!
00:18:29Take him to the doctor.
00:18:36Sir, Everhart's family history, metal allergies run in the blood.
00:18:40But Noah wasn't showing a reaction?
00:18:47He's fine.
00:18:48Look, he takes after me.
00:18:50Probably my genes.
00:18:51Right.
00:18:51From you, figures.
00:18:53Make him understand what he's done.
00:18:58How many times have I told you not to touch metal?
00:19:02Why won't you listen?
00:19:08Don't.
00:19:11Sebastian, I'm the mother of your child.
00:19:14I'm yours.
00:19:15Raising the child is our only shared interest.
00:19:17Understand?
00:19:20Of course I'll take care of Noah.
00:19:22But having two parents who love each other matter too.
00:19:25Let me run a bath for you.
00:19:27I'll take care of you later.
00:19:28Leave.
00:19:30Don't come in here without permission.
00:19:38He must be into Claire.
00:19:40Looks like I'll have to get rid of her.
00:19:44Claire?
00:19:46I overreacted earlier.
00:19:47Sorry about that.
00:19:48I know you mean well.
00:19:50Let's meet up.
00:19:55I got something for you and Emma.
00:19:57Don't worry.
00:19:58Just because I have money now
00:19:59doesn't mean I've forgotten you too.
00:20:03Thank you for Emma.
00:20:06So, what did you want to talk about today?
00:20:08Emma's starting school soon, isn't she?
00:20:10Why don't you move back home?
00:20:12It's quieter, safer, and the schools are better.
00:20:15You wouldn't have to fight for a place like you do in New York.
00:20:20I haven't really decided yet.
00:20:23Look, I know you love your job, but Emma's future matters most, doesn't it?
00:20:29There's $500,000 on this.
00:20:31Just a little help from your sister.
00:20:34That's kind of you, but I can't take your money.
00:20:36I'll think about what you said, though.
00:20:43Enjoy your busy little life, Claire.
00:20:48I'll be the one living in luxury.
00:20:53Recygnation?
00:20:54Why?
00:20:55Emma's about to start school.
00:20:56It's really hard to get into a good public school in New York,
00:20:58so I plan to take her back to my hometown.
00:21:00Don't worry.
00:21:01I can recommend another lawyer for you.
00:21:03One second.
00:21:07What could be so urgent?
00:21:10Well, since I'm leaving anyway,
00:21:13why not try sitting in a billionaire CEO's chair?
00:21:15This chair is really comfortable.
00:21:34Mr. Everhurt, I'm so sorry.
00:21:37It's okay.
00:21:40Take a look at this.
00:21:49Wonder kindy?
00:21:50That's the best private school in the city.
00:21:52So that's why you were gone so long?
00:21:54You went all the way there for Emma?
00:21:58No, just happened to passing by.
00:22:01Thank you, Mr. Everhart.
00:22:03But I heard the tuition costs a million a year.
00:22:06Everhurst Corp owns it.
00:22:07Emma can enroll directly.
00:22:09The tuition's covered.
00:22:10Really?
00:22:11Thank you, Mr. Everhurst.
00:22:12I'll stay, and I'll give this job everything I have.
00:22:19Mom, I can't wait to make new friends at school.
00:22:26Aunt Isabella!
00:22:29What are you doing here?
00:22:31This is a kindergarten, Aunt Isabella.
00:22:33I'm here to study.
00:22:35Here?
00:22:35The tuition's over a million dollars?
00:22:38How can you afford it?
00:22:40My new company's been very kind.
00:22:42My boss arranged everything for Emma.
00:22:44Oh.
00:22:45How generous of him.
00:22:48Go on, sweetheart.
00:22:49You can go in with Noah.
00:22:53I don't make friends with poor kids.
00:22:59That's okay.
00:23:00I don't want to touch his booger-picking hand anyway.
00:23:04Bye-bye, Mommy!
00:23:08Bye, darling.
00:23:09I should get going.
00:23:10Take care, Isabella.
00:23:11Yeah, sure.
00:23:16Claire, why do you keep haunting me?
00:23:19Stop staring at that.
00:23:20What did you do at school today?
00:23:22Let me check your homework.
00:23:31What is this?
00:23:33What is this?
00:23:35Why is there a dead hamster in your bag?
00:23:37It was my turn to take care of the class pet.
00:23:39I gave it a little shake and it died.
00:23:41It was funny.
00:23:42You're Tim's son through and through.
00:23:44If Sebastian finds out about this, we're finished.
00:23:50What did you say?
00:23:52Nothing.
00:23:52You heard wrong.
00:23:55Is there something in that bag?
00:23:57No!
00:23:57I'll handle Noah.
00:23:59Don't worry.
00:23:59Never mind.
00:24:00I'll find out whatever this is at the school board meeting tomorrow.
00:24:06Listen to me.
00:24:07Don't ruin my shot at a life with him.
00:24:09Do you hear me?
00:24:11Mommy, let go!
00:24:12I'll throw it away!
00:24:13I will!
00:24:14No.
00:24:15Not you.
00:24:16Not yet.
00:24:20Put it in Emma's bag.
00:24:23Okay.
00:24:45Emma Taylor!
00:24:46Get over here!
00:24:48Now!
00:24:50Look at this.
00:24:51The poorest kid in class and the cruelest two.
00:24:54This is outrageous.
00:24:56That isn't mine.
00:24:59I found it in your bag.
00:25:01Stop making excuses.
00:25:02What proof do you have that you didn't kill our class pet?
00:25:06You're the one accusing me, Mrs. Nancy.
00:25:09That means the proof should come from you.
00:25:12What the hell is this nonsense?
00:25:14Of course, only someone born poor would do something like this.
00:25:18Miss Nancy, my mommy's a lawyer.
00:25:21She taught me that the burden of proof is on the accuser.
00:25:25What you're doing is defamation.
00:25:27How dare you talk back to your teacher?
00:25:30I'm taking you to the principal right now.
00:25:32You're getting expelled.
00:25:34Miss Nancy, you can't do that.
00:25:35I didn't do anything wrong.
00:25:38Stop it.
00:25:43Stop it.
00:25:44Mr. Everhart!
00:25:47Are you hurt?
00:25:49It hurt at first, but I'm okay now that you're here.
00:25:53What's going on here?
00:25:56Mr. Green, thank goodness.
00:25:58Emma abused the class pet to death.
00:26:00This is a serious matter.
00:26:02I recommend expulsion so she doesn't corrupt the other well-off students.
00:26:07Miss Nancy, I didn't do it.
00:26:10Mr. Green, see?
00:26:12She's still denying it.
00:26:15I clearly found the hamster in her backpack.
00:26:18Then check the cameras.
00:26:20The truth will speak for itself.
00:26:22No need.
00:26:23Many parents already complained about having a bumplard like Emma here,
00:26:27worried she'll corrupt the other kids.
00:26:29We should take this chance to remove her.
00:26:32Emma, our school doesn't tolerate students with bad conduct.
00:26:36You're expelled.
00:26:40Education should be inclusive.
00:26:42Is this how you teach your students?
00:26:43This is an internal school matter.
00:26:45Mind your own business.
00:26:47I'm her father.
00:26:50You?
00:26:52You're this poor kid's father?
00:26:56I am.
00:26:58If you're really her father, even better.
00:27:00Be smart.
00:27:01Take her to process her expulsion quietly.
00:27:03Otherwise, I'll report to the board and make sure every school knows she's an animal abusers.
00:27:08Let's see which school will accept her after that.
00:27:10You won't have that chance.
00:27:16Fire the teacher, Nancy Ginning.
00:27:18And file a defamation lawsuit against her.
00:27:21You?
00:27:22You think you can fire me just by making a phone call?
00:27:24What are you?
00:27:25Some little man pretending to have power?
00:27:28Hey, little brat.
00:27:29Not only were you raised in a slum, but your father's clearly not right in the head.
00:27:33You've said enough.
00:27:34And you'll answer for every word.
00:27:35Oh, really?
00:27:36Then why am I still standing here?
00:27:38If you've got that much power, prove it.
00:27:42Enough.
00:27:42Get them out.
00:27:44Security.
00:27:45Stop.
00:27:47Principal Whitman, what brings you here?
00:27:50You ignorant fool.
00:27:54Mr. Principal, why did you hit me?
00:27:58You deserve it.
00:28:00You're fired from now on.
00:28:02Why?
00:28:03How dare you offend Mr. Everhelt.
00:28:05Don't you know Everman Corp owns this entire school?
00:28:08Mr. Everhelt, I didn't know.
00:28:11Please forgive me.
00:28:13It's my fault for hiring her.
00:28:15I'll clear Emma's name personally.
00:28:17I resign, sir.
00:28:24I am so sorry, Mr. Everhart.
00:28:27It was a complete misunderstanding.
00:28:29Find out who actually killed that hamster.
00:28:31I want the truth.
00:28:32Of course, sir.
00:28:33Immediately.
00:28:39Let's go home, Emma.
00:28:40Okay, Sebastian.
00:29:01Mr. Everhart?
00:29:02Where are the board members?
00:29:04What's going on?
00:29:05My daughter's backpack got switched, and the teacher tried to pin animal abuse on her.
00:29:09I need to see how this school actually teaches kids.
00:29:12Emma and Noah.
00:29:13They both have the same bag.
00:29:15I bought them myself.
00:29:16Hold on.
00:29:17I need to check something.
00:29:19Wait.
00:29:20I ran all the way here.
00:29:21I'm dying of thirst.
00:29:24Why does it smell like alcohol in here?
00:29:26Because it is.
00:29:26The so-called board meeting is just a bunch of rich people sitting around, drinking and chatting.
00:29:30Nothing serious.
00:29:31This is way too strong.
00:29:32Is this smell classism, Mr. Everhart?
00:29:36Look, look.
00:29:37I'm grateful you got Emma into the school, but I won't let her stay here to be bullied.
00:29:41Tomorrow, I'm pulling her out.
00:29:43You don't have to fight alone.
00:29:45I'll handle this.
00:29:48I don't trust you.
00:29:53This is all on you.
00:29:56You're the reason I had that child.
00:29:59What?
00:30:00Claire, you're confusing me with your ex again, aren't you?
00:30:04Was he really that great?
00:30:06If you weren't married, maybe me and my kid wouldn't have lived like this.
00:30:11That man, he was married?
00:30:13Claire, tell me.
00:30:15Was he better than me?
00:30:16Of course he's.
00:30:25Claire Taylor, did you put a spell on me?
00:30:35Did you find anything on the cameras?
00:30:38I did, but you should see it for yourself.
00:30:48What?
00:30:52Abusing animals?
00:30:53Framing your classmates?

00:52:50Sweetie, wait for me.
00:52:53How dare you!
00:52:54Mr. Everhood, please forgive me.
00:52:56I was just jealous of Claire.
00:52:58I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
00:52:59Take him away and make sure he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
00:53:03Please forgive me!
00:53:03I can't go to jail!
00:53:05Please let me go!
00:53:06You saved Emma, even though she's not your child.
00:53:09I don't care if Emma is my child or not.
00:53:11I'm not going to stand by and do nothing.
00:53:14No!
00:53:15My translation glasses, they're broken!
00:53:17The representatives from the charity are here.
00:53:20But where's Claire Taylor?
00:53:22The press conference starts in minutes.
00:53:25We can't begin without a translator.
00:53:27If this delays our release, we'll be pulling coverage.
00:53:30I don't know where she went.
00:53:33Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:53:34I'm here.
00:53:42Claire, your little translator glasses are toast.
00:53:45Let's see how you worm your way out of this now.
00:53:58Claire Taylor, you speak English?
00:54:01Of course.
00:54:02I read your paper in CCI Law Review on women's marital property rights.
00:54:07Brilliant work.
00:54:08I studied it again and again.
00:54:12You're an inspiration.
00:54:15That means a lot.
00:54:17I even learned English in the hopes that one day I can speak to you.
00:54:21About the law, of course.
00:54:23Then let's talk.
00:54:24Right after the press conference.
00:54:26Shall we begin?
00:54:27With pleasure.
00:54:28This way, please.
00:54:48Noah, he really is my son.
00:54:56Emma isn't my child.
00:55:02Mr. Everhart, I've left the results for both Emma and Noah on your desk.
00:55:13A perfect opportunity to make it the truth that Noah is yours.
00:55:18Mrs. Everhead, the repairman is here.
00:55:33How did you find me?
00:55:35So this is where you've been hiding, huh?
00:55:37Mrs. Everhart now?
00:55:39Isabella?
00:55:40You never cease to surprise me.
00:55:42Madam, do you know this man?
00:55:44You're just the help.
00:55:45Who said you could speak?
00:55:46Get out!
00:55:47Well, well, look at you.
00:55:49Still got bite.
00:55:50What do you want?
00:55:51From gutter to gold.
00:55:54No wonder you stopped answering my messages.
00:55:57Too busy playing queen, huh?
00:55:59What do you want from me?
00:56:00I want you back, baby.
00:56:01You have no idea how I've suffered without you.
00:56:03Don't touch me!
00:56:04Guards!
00:56:05There's a thief!
00:56:05Get him out!
00:56:06I'm out of here!
00:56:06This isn't over, Isabella!
00:56:08You can't escape from me!
00:56:09I'll follow you to the ends of the earth!
00:56:20Enough games.
00:56:22Start packing now.
00:56:23Where are we going?
00:56:25Your Aunt Claire's.
00:56:26Why?
00:56:29Because your real father just showed up.
00:56:31And if he runs into Sebastian Everheld, we're finished.
00:56:35Come in.
00:56:40Is everything all right?
00:56:41Um, Mr. Everhart, would you be able to take Emma to her end-of-semester ceremony?
00:56:45She's receiving an award, but I don't think I finished work in time.
00:56:48Of course.
00:56:50Thank you, Mr. Everhart.
00:56:52Really.
00:56:56Isabella?
00:56:57Noah?
00:56:58What are you two doing here?
00:57:00We missed you.
00:57:01And I missed Emma, too.
00:57:02Thought we'd stay a couple of days.
00:57:09I'm starving.
00:57:11Cook something.
00:57:15Who is it?
00:57:17Go check it out.
00:57:19I'm scared.
00:57:23Hello?
00:57:24Who's there?
00:57:42Isabella, open up!
00:57:43No way!
00:57:44I'm scared!
00:57:45Isabella, come out.
00:57:46Let's talk.
00:57:47No!
00:57:47If you've got something to say, say it to Claire!
00:57:50She speaks for me!
00:57:51Tim, what do you want?
00:57:52Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow.
00:57:55Tomorrow?
00:57:56Tomorrow?
00:57:57You'll run and hide.
00:57:58Where to this time?
00:58:00Back off, Tim.
00:58:01Or I call the police.
00:58:03Go ahead.
00:58:04Give it a try.
00:58:09You were the one who made things difficult for Noah.
00:58:12Don't think you can get away with it just because you are smart.
00:58:15I didn't make things difficult for Noah.
00:58:17He was the one who bullied me.
00:58:20Ow!
00:58:20Without further ado, I present the honor of the Most Outstanding Student Award to Emma Taylor.
00:58:30Let me go.
00:58:37Ah!
00:58:43Emma!
00:58:43Mr. Everhart!
00:58:46Mr. Everhart, it's just a little prize.
00:58:48No need for a big hug.
00:58:50Not Mr. Everhart.
00:58:52I'm your dad.
00:58:53That birthmark.
00:58:53It runs in my family.
00:58:55And Emma has the same one?
00:58:56Something's not right.
00:58:58I need answers from Claire.
00:59:03I've got nothing.
00:59:04No job.
00:59:05No money.
00:59:06My wife left me.
00:59:07Tell me!
00:59:07That failure enough for you!
00:59:08Tim, I know you're in pain.
00:59:10But please, calm down.
00:59:11Don't make it worse.
00:59:13There's still time to turn this around.
00:59:14I can help you.
00:59:15Just put the knife down.
00:59:16I swear we can figure something out together.
00:59:19You can?
00:59:21Think about Noah.
00:59:22No one.
00:59:22He's your son.
00:59:23If you go to prison, it will ruin his life too.
00:59:28I'm a lawyer.
00:59:29I can help.
00:59:29You just need to let me go first.
00:59:33Think about Noah.
00:59:34He's your son.
00:59:35If you go to prison, it will ruin his life too.
00:59:40Fine.
00:59:41I won't hurt you.
00:59:43But I want to talk to Isabella.
00:59:46Isabella, open the door.
00:59:47He just wants to talk.
00:59:48I will never talk to him again.
00:59:50Tim, you're trash.
00:59:52I must have been out of my mind to marry you.
00:59:54And Noah, he'll never call you dad.
00:59:56He doesn't need a father like you.
00:59:58What did you say?
00:59:59You heard me.
01:00:01Trash.
01:00:01Open this damn door, I swear.
01:00:03I'll kill your sister.
01:00:05Perfect.
01:00:06Let her die and let him rot in prison.
01:00:09I win either way.
01:00:10Do it.
01:00:11I know you won't.
01:00:12You're a coward.
01:00:13I'm not opening this door.
01:00:15Okay then.
01:00:20Claire, I just want a better life.
01:00:22Don't blame me.
01:00:36Are you hurt?
01:00:37I'm okay.
01:00:38But why are you here?
01:00:41I came to ask you about Emma's birthmark.
01:00:45Claire, is she my daughter?
01:00:48Yes.
01:00:53Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:55You only came to me so I'd help you keep the child and get rid of the mother.
01:00:58What if I had told you and you just took her away?
01:01:01She's ours.
01:01:02I'd never take her from you.
01:01:04I want to build a home with you.
01:01:06A home?
01:01:07And what about your son's mother?
01:01:08What would people call Emma then?
01:01:09The child of a mistress?
01:01:11No.
01:01:11I won't let that happen.
01:01:12You're not a mistress.
01:01:13If not for that accident six years ago, I would never have crossed paths with her.
01:01:16Six year ago?
01:01:17You mean you slept with two women six year ago?
01:01:18No.
01:01:19There's only ever been one woman for me.
01:01:21You.
01:01:22Trust me.
01:01:22I'll have her come over and explain everything.
01:01:43Who's in your house?
01:01:45My sister.
01:01:46Isabella and her son.
01:01:47That man earlier was her ex-husband.
01:01:50Isabella Taylor?
01:01:52She is your sister?
01:01:53Yes.
01:01:54She used your watch to impersonate you.
01:01:56Claim she was the woman from six years ago.
01:01:58What?
01:02:01Isabella!
01:02:02Open the door!
01:02:03We need to talk!
01:02:03Now!
01:02:10Sebastian!
01:02:11Why did you lie to me?
01:02:13Noah was never my son!
01:02:14Why would you do this?
01:02:17Manny will send the evidence to the police.
01:02:20Enjoy your next life in prison.
01:02:21Claire, please!
01:02:22Beg him for me!
01:02:23I can't go to prison.
01:02:25Noah only has me.
01:02:27If I go away, what happens to him?
01:02:31You being in his life is exactly the problem.
01:02:34I'm your sister!
01:02:35Please, Claire.
01:02:36Can't you plead with Sebastian just once?
01:02:39Sister?
01:02:39You locked me out and left me to die out there.
01:02:41What kind of sister does that?
01:02:43We were born from the same parents.
01:02:44So why are you the golden lawyer and I'm just your assistant?
01:02:47Why did your one-night state turn out to be with a billionaire CEO and mine was a broker repairman?
01:02:52This world is unfair!
01:02:54This world is unfair!
01:02:54How am I wrong?
01:02:55Everyone looks out for themselves!
01:02:56Why can't I?
01:03:03I should have done it sooner.
01:03:05Look at what you've become.
01:03:07Twisted and vicious.
01:03:09Vicious?
01:03:09Claire, if our lives were swapped, do you think you'd still be standing there virtue signaling?
01:03:14No!
01:03:15You'd be even more ruthless than I am!
01:03:17Stop justifying your evil actions.
01:03:20Do you think everyone is as rotten as you?
01:03:23Even if I were homeless, I would never do the things you've done.
01:03:27Everything I did was for Noah.
01:03:29What's wrong with a mother wanting her child to live a better life?
01:03:37You can lie to the world, but not to me.
01:03:41Do you really think you're a good mother?
01:03:43Ridiculous.
01:03:44If he's useless, how is that my fault?
01:03:51You useless little brat!
01:03:53I should just strangle you!
01:03:56Are you insane?
01:03:57Let go of him!
01:04:02Take this woman away.
01:04:03Hand her to the police.
01:04:08Noah, this isn't your fault.
01:04:10Go with Manny and get some rest, okay?
01:04:21From now on, I'll always be by your side.
01:04:29Good afternoon, everyone.
01:04:30You all know the president of Everheard Corporation,
01:04:32but today we have the honor of introducing his wife
01:04:34and the rightful heir to the Everheard legacy.
01:04:36Please welcome them.
01:04:37I want the world to know that I, Sebastian Everhard,
01:04:40will club marry one woman in this lifetime, Claire Taylor.
01:04:44Why do I always have to be the third wheel?
