Transcript

00:00:00My name is John Morgan. On our 20th wedding anniversary, I found out the truth. My cold, conservative wife could

00:00:08be that wild in another man's bed.

00:00:1120 years ago, Eva suddenly fell seriously ill. She lay in that hospital bed, pale and trembling, begging me.

00:00:19John, find yourself a healthy woman. I'll only drag you down.

00:00:26I stayed by her side, through endless nights. Swore to love her in sickness and in health, till death.

00:00:33What Eva never knew was, I was never some broke nobody. I was the billionaire CEO of Nexus. I hid

00:00:41it to protect her feelings.

00:00:42For 20 years, I took care of Eva and our two children. Every Christmas, I cooked a feast for them.

00:00:49I was basting the turkey, when my sister Mia called again, urging me to come back and be my billionaire.

00:00:55Go back? I looked at the family photo on the table, and smiled, taking care of Eva and the kids.

00:01:02That was the life I wanted.

00:01:04The company gala? Let Eva take that COO position, and have her start paving the way for my son Alex,

00:01:10too.

00:01:11I carried a fresh-baked apple pie toward the bedroom. Thought she's going to say my cooking got better.

00:01:16Like always, I started tidying up her room. Then a bag by the bed caught my eye. I opened it.

00:01:24A red lace nightgum.

00:01:25This has to be Eva's surprise for me. Ever since we had kids, we've slept apart. She's always been so

00:01:33reserved.

00:01:34I grinned to myself. Tonight, I'll show her, I've still got it. While I was thinking, the door opened.

00:01:41Eve is home. I took her bag, nowt like I always did. What have you got for me tonight?

00:01:46She shoved me off, looked at me like I'm filth. She tossed her hair back, and I caught the hickey

00:01:52on her neck.

00:01:53Don't touch me. Get your filthy hands off me.

00:01:56I froze. She changed and curled up on the couch, smiled at her phone in a way I haven't seen

00:02:02in years.

00:02:03I stood there, like an idiot. Go get me a blanket from the bedroom.

00:02:07I nodded without thinking. Taking care of her is just instinct now.

00:02:12Then, while I pulled a blanket from the closet, a box fell in front of me.

00:02:17A red nightgown, love letter, and a DB fell out from the box.

00:02:22I turned the DV on, and there she was, wearing that red nightgown, all over another man.

00:02:29The affection I never got from her, is right there on the screen.

00:02:33It was thunderstruck. Every word in those letters played out right there on the video.

00:02:38So she wasn't cold. She just saved all that heat for someone else.

00:02:42I lost it. I grabbed the box, and the DV, and stormed out.

00:02:47I slammed the box down at her feet, and shoved the DV screen in her face.

00:02:52Her laughter echoed through the room. I looked at her panic, and said, slowly,

00:02:57You better explain who the hell is it.

00:03:00I stand there, holding my face, looking into Eva's eyes.

00:03:05And at that moment, I finally understood.

00:03:08In this house, I matter less than a stranger.

00:03:11What gives you the right to tell Phil to leave?

00:03:13I clawed my way up on my own.

00:03:15I'm about to be COO, and I have Phil to thank for that.

00:03:19And you? Marrying you was the worst mistake I ever made.

00:03:23You useless piece of shit.

00:03:24It's useless. If I hadn't been pulling strings behind the scenes, how would an ordinary sales manager ever make it

00:03:31to COO?

00:03:32Eva, 20 years ago you were dying.

00:03:35I fed you medicine one spoon at a time.

00:03:38Stayed at your bedside day and night.

00:03:40Did you forget what we promised each other?

00:03:42I even missed my mother's funeral for you.

00:03:45Did I ask you to do it?

00:03:48Every one of those choices was yours.

00:03:50And let's be honest, I've supported you for years.

00:03:53We're even.

00:03:54I gave up my billion dollar fortune for her.

00:03:57Eva missed my mom's last moments.

00:03:59And she actually dares to say we're even.

00:04:02Eva, I'm sorry.

00:04:03This is all my fault.

00:04:05I never meant to cause trouble in your marriage.

00:04:07These are Christmas gifts for your whole family.

00:04:09And if your husband doesn't want me here, I promise I'll never come around again.

00:04:14Alex opens his box.

00:04:16A brand new car key.

00:04:18His eyes light up as he looks at Phil in awe.

00:04:21Amy opens hers.

00:04:22A designer handbag.

00:04:24She screams and hugs it to her chest.

00:04:27Eva opens the last gift.

00:04:29A Harry Winston necklace.

00:04:30She gasps, holding it like it's priceless.

00:04:33I stand there watching.

00:04:36Their eyes on the gifts.

00:04:37No one gives a damn about how I feel.

00:04:40Phil, this must have cost a fortune.

00:04:43I saw you looking at it in that shop window.

00:04:46Think of it as my congratulations for becoming COO.

00:04:49My wife lowers her head, blushing like a girl.

00:04:52Uncle Phil, you're still trying to win mom over, aren't you?

00:04:56Her first love just never quits, huh?

00:04:58Alex suddenly jabs Amy's arm hard.

00:05:01She stumbles, covers her mouth, and looks at me guilt.

00:05:04First love.

00:05:05I look at Amy panicking after letting it slip.

00:05:08And I realize they never saw me as one of them.

00:05:12Eva, I know I failed you once.

00:05:15As long as you're happy now, I'm willing to walk away.

00:05:19He turns for the door.

00:05:20And I watch my own children beg the man destroying my family to stay.

00:05:24Wait!

00:05:25He's not the one who should leave.

00:05:27He is.

00:05:28Dad, you can't give mom happiness.

00:05:31Uncle Phil can.

00:05:32Just leave.

00:05:34That man Phil just walked into my home.

00:05:37His shoes click across the floor.

00:05:39I clean myself, wearing that perfect smile, like some honored guest.

00:05:44Eva sees him, and her eyes light up.

00:05:46She practically throws herself at him.

00:05:49Alex and Amy look up at the same time, faces lighting up.

00:05:54Uncle Phil!

00:05:55The three of them gather around him, and I'm standing in the middle of my own living, like

00:06:00I'm invisible.

00:06:03So you're the famous Phil.

00:06:05Uh, yeah.

00:06:06Nice to meet you.

00:06:08I'm Phil, finance manager at Nexus Capital, and Eva's best friend.

00:06:14Best friend?

00:06:15Eva betrayed me for this piece of trash.

00:06:17I lunge at him and grab his collar.

00:06:20Then, I hear Eva scream.

00:06:22Stop!

00:06:23She rushes in between us, and shoves me to the floor.

00:06:27She turns, touches Phil's arm.

00:06:29Are you alright?

00:06:30Looks up at him with worry all over her face.

00:06:33Then she looks at me, cold.

00:06:35Listen, I hid those things because I knew you'd lose your mind.

00:06:38I knew Phil before I even met you.

00:06:41And if something was going to happen between us, it would have happened long ago.

00:06:45Why wait till now?

00:06:47Dad, are you serious?

00:06:48You and mom have been married for decades.

00:06:50Where's the basic trust?

00:06:52Dad, stop embarrassing yourself.

00:06:54Uncle Phil helped me get where I am.

00:06:56I'm so angry, I can barely breathe.

00:06:59My hand clamps over my chest.

00:07:01Eva, I really are just friends.

00:07:03I only wanted to make her happy.

00:07:04If any of us cross the line, I'll stay out of your business.

00:07:08He looks at Eva and smiles.

00:07:10Polite and elegant.

00:07:12Somehow, it made me look like a clown.

00:07:15Get out of my house!

00:07:16I swang my fist with everything I've got.

00:07:18At that fake, lying face.

00:07:21Then, a slap cracks across my left cheek.

00:07:24My head jerks sideways.

00:07:26My ears rang.

00:07:28The wife I spent 20 years caring for

00:07:30slapped me for another name.

00:07:34After they threw me out,

00:07:35I had nowhere to go.

00:07:37So I went to my sister Mia's.

00:07:39She looks at me.

00:07:40Blood all over.

00:07:41And she knew everything.

00:07:43Her hand slams down on the table.

00:07:45Eva has what she has because of you?

00:07:47Alex got his job because of you!

00:07:49You gave them everything,

00:07:51and this is what you get back?

00:07:53A bunch of ungrateful leeches!

00:07:55Mia's right.

00:07:56Eva became sales manager

00:07:58because I had a headhunter recruit her.

00:08:01Alex got his interview

00:08:03because I made it happen.

00:08:04I gave them everything,

00:08:06and got this in return.

00:08:08Mia's eyes reddens.

00:08:09She hands me an old pocket watch.

00:08:12My hands shake as I open it.

00:08:15Mom left this for you.

00:08:16If she were alive,

00:08:17she'd never want to see you treated like this.

00:08:19Eva doesn't deserve you.

00:08:21It's me and my mother in that photo.

00:08:23And I remembered the hospital.

00:08:25It was when I missed seeing my mother one last time

00:08:28because I stayed with Eva,

00:08:30the biggest regret of my life.

00:08:32My mother was dying,

00:08:34and I didn't even know it.

00:08:35When she called me,

00:08:36I was tending to Eva.

00:08:38Mom was already fading.

00:08:39Her voice was weak,

00:08:40and I was too blind to hear it.

00:08:42Mom.

00:08:43John.

00:08:44What's wrong?

00:08:45Nothing, baby.

00:08:46Just wanted to hear your voice.

00:08:48Then Eva coughed a few times,

00:08:50and I rushed my mother off the phone.

00:08:53Mom, something's come up here.

00:08:54I'll call you later.

00:08:55The call ended.

00:08:56I hurried to Eva's bedside,

00:08:58asking if she was hurting,

00:08:59if she needed a doctor.

00:09:01Later I learned

00:09:02that was the last time

00:09:03I ever spoke to my mother.

00:09:04I stare at the watch,

00:09:06tears falling.

00:09:07Mom,

00:09:08I failed you,

00:09:09but not anymore.

00:09:11Never again.

00:09:12I'm divorcing Eva,

00:09:13and I'm taking back everything that's mine.

00:09:16Mia,

00:09:16I need a favor.

00:09:18Mia looks at me,

00:09:20eyes still red,

00:09:21and gives one hard nod.

00:09:23And just as I make up my mind

00:09:25to take everything back,

00:09:27something else is happening in that house.

00:09:29The kitchen sink is clogged.

00:09:31Phil has been wrestling with it forever.

00:09:33Clearly,

00:09:34he's not handy.

00:09:36It's Christmas.

00:09:37There's no plumber coming today.

00:09:39Dad used to fix stuff like this.

00:09:42I'll give John this.

00:09:43He was always better at fixing things than I am.

00:09:45Fixing pipes is about all he was good for.

00:09:48Don't compare that loser to you.

00:09:50Then the pipe burst.

00:09:52All four of them scream at once in chaos.

00:09:55Water went every day.

00:09:56Then Phil's phone rings.

00:09:58He gets word that I met with Mia,

00:10:00and his face changes.

00:10:02My uncle's high up at Nexus.

00:10:04He said he saw John with the COO.

00:10:06What if John told her everything?

00:10:07If the COO believes his lies,

00:10:09all the years I put into this

00:10:11go up in smoke!

00:10:13I gave up everything for them.

00:10:16And now,

00:10:17for what Phil can give them,

00:10:18they're ready to kick me to the curb.

00:10:20You brought this on yourself!

00:10:22Uncle Phil already got me into Nexus Capital.

00:10:25What could you ever give me?

00:10:28Uncle Phil hands me 50 grand for pocket money like it's nothing.

00:10:31Aren't you embarrassed?

00:10:32If you really love Mom,

00:10:34let her go.

00:10:34I look at these two children,

00:10:37standing before me like strangers.

00:10:39Are these really the same kids who once said,

00:10:43Dad, I'll take care of you.

00:10:45Six years ago,

00:10:46in the summer,

00:10:47I was wearing that faded blue apron,

00:10:49flower still on my hands.

00:10:51Alex and Amy ran in,

00:10:53waving their Harvard acceptance letters,

00:10:55and throw themselves into my arms.

00:10:58I'm so proud of you.

00:10:59I looked down at those letters.

00:11:01Tears of joy were in my eyes.

00:11:03I guessed they forgot those words a long time ago.

00:11:07I sacrificed everything for you.

00:11:09And this is how you treat me?

00:11:10Fine.

00:11:11I'll go.

00:11:12I was ready to walk away for good.

00:11:15But Phil wasn't done with me.

00:11:16No, John.

00:11:17I'm the one who should leave.

00:11:19He grabbed my arm,

00:11:20then suddenly threw himself backward like I shoved him.

00:11:23His body slammed into the entry cabinet with a thud.

00:11:27Then he slid down to the floor, grimacing.

00:11:29John!

00:11:30What are you doing?

00:11:31What pathetic acting.

00:11:33And my wife and children by every second of it.

00:11:36Eva got up and slapped me hard.

00:11:39I fell backward into the coffee table.

00:11:41A picture frame crashed to the floor.

00:11:43My palm drove into the broken glass,

00:11:46and blood seeped from the base of my palm onto the photo.

00:11:50Our family portrait lay in the wreckage.

00:11:53A crack in the glass cut right between me and Eva,

00:11:57splitting our smiles in two.

00:11:59John, what the hell are you doing?

00:12:01Today you hit Uncle Phil.

00:12:03Tomorrow, you'll hit Mom.

00:12:05Mom, divorce him!

00:12:07Now!

00:12:11I didn't touch him.

00:12:13Shut up!

00:12:13John, you're gonna kill us all.

00:12:15Throw him out!

00:12:16The door opens.

00:12:18The three of them grab me and throw me out.

00:12:20Get out of our house!

00:12:21You don't belong here!

00:12:23You're not my father anymore.

00:12:24Not ever again.

00:12:25I'm divorcing you.

00:12:27Then I see Phil, standing behind the three of them,

00:12:30smiling, satisfying.

00:12:32The door starts to close.

00:12:34The warm light disappears.

00:12:36And on my face, I can't tell if it's melted snow or my tears.

00:12:41Fireworks suddenly burst overhead.

00:12:43All over the street.

00:12:45People laughing and wishing each other Merry Christmas.

00:12:48Every family was celebrating Christmas.

00:12:51And on Christmas, I lost my family.

00:12:54While those idiots were panicking,

00:12:57Mia and I were sitting in a coffee shop,

00:12:59drinking coffee like nothing was wrong.

00:13:01John, you sure you want to do this at the company gala?

00:13:04Mia asks if I'm sure.

00:13:06I was the one who put her where she is.

00:13:09Now I'm only taking back what I once gave.

00:13:11Mia's phone suddenly buzzes.

00:13:13Call her.

00:13:14ID Phil.

00:13:15We look at each other and smirk.

00:13:16She puts him on the speaker.

00:13:18Hello, Director Morgan.

00:13:19This is Phil.

00:13:20I just wanted to remind you about Eva's promotion to COO.

00:13:23Please don't let rumors affect your judgment.

00:13:26Eva is extremely capable.

00:13:28She's fully qualified for the job.

00:13:30That self-important idiot

00:13:31thinks being finance manager

00:13:33gives him enough pull to put in a good word for Eva.

00:13:36He has no idea.

00:13:38The COO he's trying to flatter

00:13:40is the blood sister of the loser he looks down on.

00:13:44Enough.

00:13:44How I make my decisions is none of your concern.

00:13:48Tell Eva to be ready for the gala.

00:13:50I've got quite a surprise for her.

00:13:52The second she hands up,

00:13:53I can picture Eva and Phil

00:13:55already acting like they've made it.

00:13:57Still dreaming they're about to hit the big time.

00:14:00The night of the gala,

00:14:01the four of them showed up in fancy clothes.

00:14:04Eva is ready for what she thinks

00:14:06will be the proudest moment of her life.

00:14:08Coworkers crowd around her with congratulations.

00:14:12Eva, heard they're announcing your promotion to COO tonight.

00:14:15Congratulations.

00:14:16Eva, looks like you're about to be our boss.

00:14:20Don't forget us when you make it to the top.

00:14:23Of course.

00:14:24Uncle Phil and my mom

00:14:26are basically a match made in heaven.

00:14:28No kidding.

00:14:29That loser my mom used to be married to,

00:14:31he wouldn't make it through the front door here.

00:14:34They're right.

00:14:35A loser couldn't get in here

00:14:36because the man walking through those doors tonight

00:14:40is the true owner of this empire.

00:14:43Dozens of men in black

00:14:44stand beside the cars with Mia,

00:14:47waiting for me.

00:14:48My brother will be out any second.

00:14:50Everyone, be ready.

00:14:52Yes, ma'am.

00:14:53I step out the front door,

00:14:55one step at a time,

00:14:57under security escort.

00:14:58I slid into the backseat of a mayvac.

00:15:01The motorcade starts moving,

00:15:03rolling into the city.

00:15:0520 years.

00:15:06I gave up everything

00:15:07for that ridiculous thing called love.

00:15:10I made myself their servant

00:15:12and all my sacrifice bought me

00:15:15was contempt.

00:15:16Now, the game is over.

00:15:19In the ballroom,

00:15:21Eva is still soaking up the praise.

00:15:23Heard the CEO is back

00:15:25and he's personally handing out

00:15:26the promotion letters

00:15:27to everyone getting promoted.

00:15:29Wow, that's the highest honor there is.

00:15:32He's not just our chairman,

00:15:34he's the richest man in the country.

00:15:36If I were the CEO's son,

00:15:37I'd never have to work a day in my life.

00:15:40If I could get the CEO

00:15:41to be my wedding witness,

00:15:43I'd brag about it forever.

00:15:44What they don't know,

00:15:46the CEO they're talking about,

00:15:48is me.

00:15:50Eva,

00:15:51when the CEO hands you that promotion,

00:15:53make sure you mention my name.

00:15:56Don't worry, I will.

00:15:59A bodyguard opens my car door.

00:16:01Mia stands beside me.

00:16:03Hundreds of executives and staff

00:16:05line up on both sides of the entrance,

00:16:08bowing at me.

00:16:09Good evening, Mr. Morgan.

00:16:11Mr. Morgan,

00:16:12a title of power and wealth.

00:16:15I haven't heard it in 20 years.

00:16:17Eva,

00:16:18are you ready for the biggest surprise

00:16:20of your life?

00:16:21John's never seen anything like this.

00:16:23You should have brought that loser

00:16:24to open his eyes.

00:16:25A guy like him wouldn't know

00:16:27what to do with opportunity

00:16:27if it hit him in the face.

00:16:29He deserves nothing.

00:16:31Exactly.

00:16:32Not everyone can get in here.

00:16:34That old loser

00:16:34doesn't belong anywhere

00:16:36near the spotlight.

00:16:37The CEO is here!

00:16:40The doors swing open.

00:16:41A spotlight hits me.

00:16:43And I look at those four clowns,

00:16:45the same people

00:16:46trashing me one second ago,

00:16:48now frozen where they stand.

00:16:49I am John Morgan,

00:16:51CEO of Nexus Capital.

00:16:53and I'm back.

00:16:54Their judgment is over.

00:16:56Mine has just begun.

00:16:59I stride into the ballroom.

00:17:01First time in 20 years.

00:17:03I'm out in public,

00:17:04wearing a custom suit.

00:17:06Look at that suit.

00:17:08That's Qtour.

00:17:09You can't just buy that.

00:17:10And those cufflinks?

00:17:11Wait.

00:17:12No way.

00:17:13That's the billionaire CEO

00:17:15everyone's been talking about?

00:17:16I hear the whispers.

00:17:18Eva's in the crowd,

00:17:19just staring at me,

00:17:20frozen.

00:17:21My dad?

00:17:22Is that billionaire CEO?

00:17:24Oh, please.

00:17:26No way.

00:17:27John's a broke nobody

00:17:28living off me.

00:17:29I was married to him for years.

00:17:31I know exactly what he is.

00:17:33She dregs Alex and Amy with her

00:17:35and storms over.

00:17:36John,

00:17:37who the hell let you in?

00:17:39You think dressing up fancy

00:17:41is going to make me believe you?

00:17:43In your dreams.

00:17:44Who said I came for you?

00:17:46I'm here for the gala.

00:17:47They laugh in my face,

00:17:49not a second of doubt.

00:17:51to them.

00:17:51I'm still just trash.

00:17:53You think a suit makes you CEO?

00:17:55Get real.

00:17:56This isn't your world.

00:17:58You don't belong here.

00:18:00Stop embarrassing yourself.

00:18:02Out of pity for

00:18:03whatever family we have left?

00:18:06Here's a tip.

00:18:08Ten minutes.

00:18:09The COO and CEO

00:18:11are about to present

00:18:12the appointment certificate

00:18:13to my mom.

00:18:14I let out a cold laugh.

00:18:16We'll see who's presenting

00:18:17the certificate to who.

00:18:19Eva pulls out a stack of papers.

00:18:21and slams them

00:18:22against my chest.

00:18:23Divorce papers.

00:18:25Sign them,

00:18:26then get the hell out.

00:18:28Once I'm COO,

00:18:30you're nothing to me.

00:18:31You're not even fit

00:18:32to shine my shoes.

00:18:34I flip through it,

00:18:35line by line.

00:18:36Even the asset splits done.

00:18:38I walk away with nothing.

00:18:40She cheated first,

00:18:41and she makes it look like

00:18:43somehow she's the victim.

00:18:44You have a way to dime

00:18:46all these years.

00:18:47You've been living off me.

00:18:49They still don't get it.

00:18:51Everything they have,

00:18:52I gave them.

00:18:53Without me,

00:18:54they're nothing.

00:18:55I look at them and smile,

00:18:57my heart embittered.

00:18:58Fine.

00:18:59If that's what they want,

00:19:00I pull a pen from my suit,

00:19:02about to sign,

00:19:03when Alex suddenly stops me.

00:19:06Wait!

00:19:07Alex suddenly cuts in.

00:19:09For a second,

00:19:10I thought he had finally

00:19:11come to his senses.

00:19:12But I'm wrong.

00:19:13He frowns,

00:19:14looking at me like I'm garbage,

00:19:15then shoves another document

00:19:17right into my face.

00:19:18Go ahead.

00:19:19Sign this too.

00:19:21I'm done with you.

00:19:22My sister and I

00:19:23don't a loser like you

00:19:24for a dad.

00:19:25Sign it,

00:19:25and we're done.

00:19:27I take it,

00:19:28and look down.

00:19:29Agreement to end

00:19:30father-son relationship.

00:19:32My fingers start to shake.

00:19:34Alex Morgan.

00:19:35John Morgan.

00:19:36My own son,

00:19:37cutting me off.

00:19:38From now on,

00:19:39we take Phil's name.

00:19:40I'm Alex Fry.

00:19:42My sister's Amy Fry.

00:19:44Sign it.

00:19:45Now.

00:19:47From today on,

00:19:48I'm Amy Fry.

00:19:49Sounds way better

00:19:51than Amy Morgan.

00:19:52Eva stands there,

00:19:53arms crossed,

00:19:55smirking,

00:19:56the three of them together,

00:19:57like a real family.

00:19:59I stare at the paper,

00:20:01eyes stinging,

00:20:0220 years,

00:20:03everything I gave them,

00:20:05and this is what I get.

00:20:06Alex,

00:20:07Amy,

00:20:09that's a bit much.

00:20:10You really are gonna humiliate

00:20:12your own father like this?

00:20:13John,

00:20:14you've been a pretty lousy father.

00:20:16Just look,

00:20:17your own kids don't even want you.

00:20:18Everything I gave,

00:20:20all these years,

00:20:21this is what it comes down to?

00:20:22I raised them myself

00:20:24and turned them into monsters.

00:20:26Eva watches coldly,

00:20:27arms folded,

00:20:28waiting for me to sign

00:20:30so she can toss me out like trash.

00:20:31My pen hits the paper.

00:20:34Stroke by stroke,

00:20:35I sign my name.

00:20:36I fling the sign papers at Alex.

00:20:39They scatter across the floor

00:20:41as he scrambles to pick them up.

00:20:43Eva,

00:20:44Amy,

00:20:45Alex,

00:20:46you just killed

00:20:47whatever love I had left for you.

00:20:49My mom's about to be COO.

00:20:52Without her,

00:20:53you won't even be able to feed yourself.

00:20:55Congrats, mom.

00:20:56Looks like you and Uncle Phil

00:20:57are finally getting their happy ending.

00:20:59Mom,

00:21:00once you're COO,

00:21:01I basically run this place.

00:21:03I wipe the tears from my eyes

00:21:05and look up at them.

00:21:06Their faces are full of hope for the future.

00:21:09How nice.

00:21:10Too bad.

00:21:11It's about to end.

00:21:12And what makes you think

00:21:13that's a promotion

00:21:14and not a termination?

00:21:16I look at Eva,

00:21:18still so full of herself.

00:21:20She really thinks she's won.

00:21:22She really thinks that COO seat is hers.

00:21:29And what makes you

00:21:30think that's a promotion

00:21:33and not a termination?

00:21:35I hold Eva's promotion letter

00:21:37and tell Mia

00:21:38I'm pulling her promotion.

00:21:40Eva and Alex are out

00:21:41and I'll make sure

00:21:42no one in this industry

00:21:43ever hires them again.

00:21:45I put her there.

00:21:47I can drag her down myself.

00:21:49I flick my lighter open.

00:21:50The flame catches the edge of the paper.

00:21:53I watch it burn to ash.

00:21:55The ashes drift beside my coffee.

00:21:57My face stays cold.

00:21:5920 years.

00:22:00It ends now.

00:22:01I look at them.

00:22:02Ice cold.

00:22:03A bunch of clowns.

00:22:04And they have no idea what's coming.

00:22:08Fired?

00:22:09Do you even know what this event is?

00:22:12It's to celebrate my mom's promotion.

00:22:14Fired.

00:22:15Yeah, right.

00:22:18John, after the divorce,

00:22:20I hope you can at least

00:22:21take care of yourself.

00:22:23Living off others?

00:22:24That's just pathetic.

00:22:26Living off others?

00:22:27Pathetic.

00:22:28And she says that with a straight face.

00:22:30Every meal she's eaten.

00:22:31Every outfit she's worn.

00:22:33Every promotion she's had.

00:22:35None of it happened without me.

00:22:36I shove past Phil and Eva

00:22:38and walk forward, steady.

00:22:43Jesus!

00:22:45John's gone crazy!

00:22:46Hey!

00:22:47That's the CEO's chair!

00:22:49I stop in front of the chair

00:22:50and stare everyone down.

00:22:52That chair was mine 20 years ago.

00:22:54I'm just taking my seat back.

00:22:56Eva, he's your ex-husband.

00:22:58If he pulls something

00:22:59and pisses off the higher-ups,

00:23:01your promotion's done.

00:23:03He's trying to ruin you!

00:23:04I don't hesitate.

00:23:05I sit in the CEO's chair.

00:23:07Eva rushes up

00:23:08and shoves me down.

00:23:09The chair crashes to the floor

00:23:11with a dull thud.

00:23:14John, what the hell are you doing?

00:23:16I told you.

00:23:18I'm here for the gala.

00:23:19Oh, please.

00:23:21Still lying?

00:23:22Some nobody sneaks in

00:23:24without an invite

00:23:25just to make a scene?

00:23:26Get out!

00:23:28Now!

00:23:29She raises her hand

00:23:30to hit me.

00:23:31The same hand

00:23:32that slapped me twice before.

00:23:34Not this time.

00:23:35I catch her wrist.

00:23:36Eva!

00:23:37The moment the door bursts open,

00:23:39me lying in a pool of blood.

00:23:41Her eyes turn red instantly.

00:23:43We were married.

00:23:45I put up with you

00:23:46because I loved you.

00:23:47That's over now.

00:23:48We're divorced now.

00:23:51You touch me again?

00:23:54Try it.

00:23:55I shove her hand off.

00:23:57Eva stumbles back

00:23:58and Phil catches her

00:23:59without thinking.

00:24:00Nice teamwork.

00:24:03John!

00:24:04Do you even know

00:24:05what that chair is?

00:24:06That's the CEO's seat!

00:24:08You're going to get us

00:24:09all screwed!

00:24:12That seat is always mine.

00:24:14I pick up the chair

00:24:15Eva knocked over

00:24:16and set it back in place.

00:24:18What's the problem

00:24:19with me sitting here?

00:24:20This was my seat

00:24:20to begin with.

00:24:21I sit down

00:24:22in the CEO's chair.

00:24:2320 years

00:24:24and it finally

00:24:25has its owner back.

00:24:35Eva tries to rush me

00:24:37but Phil holds her back.

00:24:38What's he afraid of?

00:24:39Her getting hit again

00:24:40or things getting out of hand?

00:24:43Listen,

00:24:43the billionaire CEO

00:24:44and the COO are about to show up.

00:24:46You want to die?

00:24:47Don't drag us down with you!

00:24:48Alex shoves me

00:24:49but I don't move an inch.

00:24:51I just sit there

00:24:51while they keep screaming.

00:24:53John,

00:24:54you're going to cost Eva everything!

00:24:57Mom!

00:24:58If he keeps this up,

00:25:00I'm screwed!

00:25:03Get up!

00:25:05If you ruin my promotion,

00:25:07I swear I won't let this go!

00:25:10bother responding.

00:25:12Then,

00:25:12the ballroom doors burst open

00:25:14as security steps aside

00:25:16as a man in his 50s storms in

00:25:18full of authority.

00:25:20I know him.

00:25:20Gilbert Newman,

00:25:22Phil's uncle.

00:25:23One of the top guys at Nexus.

00:25:25Everyone turns.

00:25:25Phil's eyes light up.

00:25:27Relief washes over his face.

00:25:29He thinks his savior just walked in.

00:25:31His grin stretches ear to ear

00:25:33as he rushes over.

00:25:35What's all this noise?

00:25:36The CEO and COO will be here any minute!

00:25:39Uncle,

00:25:40Gilbert,

00:25:40perfect timing.

00:25:41That idiot's sitting in the CEO's chair.

00:25:43He's basically challenging the CEO.

00:25:45You've got to teach him a lesson.

00:25:53What?

00:25:55Challenging the CEO?

00:25:57Where'd this clown come from?

00:25:59I'll make him pay for this!

00:26:04Gilbert stops right in front of me,

00:26:06eyes wide.

00:26:07I just sit there,

00:26:08smirking.

00:26:09Mr. Newman,

00:26:11if I were you,

00:26:12I'd think very carefully

00:26:13before making your next move.

00:26:14Gilbert meets my eyes.

00:26:15For a second,

00:26:16I see hesitation.

00:26:17A nobody like him

00:26:19has never met the real CEO.

00:26:21He doesn't know what to make of me.

00:26:23Uncle Gilbert,

00:26:24don't let him bluff you.

00:26:26He's just Eva's deadbeat ex-husband.

00:26:28He came here to sabotage her promotion.

00:26:31Dodd Phil grins.

00:26:32Fawning like a dog

00:26:33begging for scraps.

00:26:35Mr. Newman,

00:26:35please get him out of here.

00:26:37Don't let my family mess ruin the gala.

00:26:38Got it.

00:26:39Leave it to me.

00:26:41Drag this old fool out!

00:26:42The security guards close in,

00:26:44smirking.

00:26:45I frown,

00:26:46not out of fear,

00:26:47out of rage,

00:26:48dot 20 years.

00:26:49And now even some nobody

00:26:50who came in after me

00:26:51thinks he can walk all over me.

00:26:53I thought one look at me

00:26:54would make him panic

00:26:55and start apologizing.

00:26:57Instead,

00:26:58he doesn't even recognize me.

00:26:59You've got some nerve

00:27:00sitting in the CEO's chair.

00:27:02Get the hell up right now

00:27:03while I'm being nice.

00:27:04Unless you want trouble.

00:27:06John,

00:27:07cut the act.

00:27:08Mr. Newman's a company veteran.

00:27:09I almost forgot this.

00:27:11Nobody joined

00:27:12after I left the company.

00:27:15He's been with the company

00:27:16longer than I have.

00:27:17Who the hell are you?

00:27:18You really think

00:27:19Mr. Newman

00:27:20would even look twice at you?

00:27:22You pathetic old loser.

00:27:24Stop running your mouth.

00:27:25You're only making yourself

00:27:26look worse.

00:27:27Just get out!

00:27:28Mr. Newman,

00:27:29that's my useless father.

00:27:31He lives in his own fantasy

00:27:32and actually thinks

00:27:33he's the CEO

00:27:34who vanished 20 years ago.

00:27:36The guards circle around me

00:27:38but I don't back down.

00:27:39My calm is starting

00:27:40to rattle them.

00:27:41Want to know

00:27:41if I'm really the CEO?

00:27:43Call your CON,

00:27:44Mia Morgan.

00:27:44She can clear it up right now.

00:27:46Who the hell are you

00:27:47to order me

00:27:47to call the COO?

00:27:49She already said tonight

00:27:50is the CEO's

00:27:52homecoming party.

00:27:53You better

00:27:54get out now

00:27:55or I'll beat your ass

00:27:57first

00:27:57and throw you out myself.

00:27:59John,

00:28:00stop clinging to my mom

00:28:01like some parasite.

00:28:03You're after her money

00:28:04and you just won't go away.

00:28:06We signed the divorce papers.

00:28:07Let's just end this

00:28:08and move on.

00:28:09Stop bothering me, okay?

00:28:10Bothering her?

00:28:11I let out a cold laugh.

00:28:12Just looking at her

00:28:13makes me sick.

00:28:14This company is mine.

00:28:16They're the ones

00:28:16who should be thrown out.

00:28:18Security!

00:28:18Get them out of here!

00:28:19The guards rush me

00:28:21and drag me out of the chair.

00:28:23I fight back

00:28:23but there are too many of them

00:28:25in this struggle.

00:28:26A pocket watch slips

00:28:27from my suit

00:28:28and hits the floor.

00:28:30My mother's pocket watch.

00:28:31The last thing she left me.

00:28:33I lunge for it

00:28:34but Eva gets there first.

00:28:36I yell at her

00:28:36to give it back

00:28:37but Eva looks at the watch

00:28:39and lets out a mocking laugh.

00:28:41So this is the watch

00:28:42your old hag of a mother left you?

00:28:44Disgusting!

00:28:45She crouches

00:28:46and dangles it

00:28:47in front of me

00:28:47like teasing a dog duck.

00:28:49Two guards

00:28:50pin my arms down

00:28:51while I struggle to reach it

00:28:53but Eva pulls it back

00:28:54laughing like a maniac.

00:28:56I'm shaking with rage.

00:28:58I didn't even make it

00:28:59to see my mother

00:29:00before she died

00:29:01and now the last thing

00:29:02she left me

00:29:02is being ruined

00:29:03by this woman.

00:29:04Where'd all that backbone go?

00:29:06Want it back?

00:29:07Fine.

00:29:08Neil,

00:29:08slap yourself a hundred times

00:29:10admit you were wrong

00:29:11and maybe I'll give it back.

00:29:13She sneers.

00:29:14There's nothing in her eyes

00:29:16but cruelty.

00:29:17Neil,

00:29:17slap myself.

00:29:18What does she think I am?

00:29:20But the watch

00:29:20keeps swinging in her hand.

00:29:22It's the last thing

00:29:23my mother left me.

00:29:24Phil smirks.

00:29:26Alex stands

00:29:26with his hands

00:29:27in his pockets.

00:29:28Amy throws me

00:29:29a look of contempt.

00:29:30No one says a word for me.

00:29:32They're all enjoying

00:29:33the showed slowly.

00:29:34I sink to my knees.

00:29:35Both knees

00:29:36slam against the marble floor.

00:29:38Pain shoots through me.

00:29:40John,

00:29:41after all these years

00:29:42you haven't changed a bit.

00:29:43Still so quick to kneel.

00:29:45Pathetic.

00:29:46Like some dog

00:29:47begging for scraps.

00:29:49I'd beg her

00:29:50to give me the watch back.

00:29:51She has no intention

00:29:53of letting me have it.

00:29:54She throws the watch.

00:29:55I scream in despair.

00:29:57It spins through the air

00:29:58like a Medeer

00:29:59and shatters in two.

00:30:01I threw myself

00:30:01toward the broken pocket watch.

00:30:03My shaking hands

00:30:04clutch the two halves.

00:30:06One side the photo.

00:30:07One side the dial.

00:30:08I try like a madman

00:30:09to piece it back together.

00:30:11It won't go back together.

00:30:12Broken

00:30:12like my heart.

00:30:13Phil picks up a bottle

00:30:14and walks toward me.

00:30:15The bottle explodes

00:30:16over my head.

00:30:17Glass flies.

00:30:18Blood pours down my face.

00:30:20A ringing

00:30:21fills my ears

00:30:22like a funeral bell.

00:30:23Before blacking out

00:30:24I see Phil grinning.

00:30:26Ava.

00:30:26Alex.

00:30:27Amy.

00:30:27Just standing there.

00:30:28Cold.

00:30:29Like they're watching

00:30:30someone else's tragedy.

00:30:31I close my eyes.

00:30:32Mom.

00:30:33I'm coming to find you.

00:30:34The doors slam open.

00:30:36Mia storms in.

00:30:37Furious.

00:30:38She swings the pocket watch

00:30:39in front of me.

00:30:40Leaning in.

00:30:41Daring me with her eyes.

00:30:43She loves having me

00:30:44under her heel.

00:30:45What?

00:30:46You won't do it?

00:30:47Then I'll throw it away.

00:30:49Every time I see

00:30:50that old hag

00:30:51she makes my blood boil.

00:30:52She raises her arm

00:30:54to throw the watch.

00:30:55The last thing

00:30:56my mother left me.

00:30:57I was young then.

00:30:58My mother was still alive.

00:31:00I stood close beside her

00:31:01posing for the camera.

00:31:03The shutter caught our smiles.

00:31:04I opened the old watch.

00:31:06Inside is the photo

00:31:08we just took.

00:31:09When I'm not with you

00:31:10keep this watch

00:31:11close to your heart.

00:31:12Think of it as your mother

00:31:14staying beside you.

00:31:15Mom.

00:31:16I'm sorry.

00:31:17I couldn't protect

00:31:17what you left me.

00:31:19Fine.

00:31:21I'll kneel.

00:31:22The moment the door

00:31:23bursts open

00:31:24Mia sees me lying

00:31:25in a pool of blood.

00:31:26Her eyes turn red

00:31:27instantly.

00:31:28A crowd gathers around

00:31:30whispering among themselves

00:31:31dot Mia helps me up

00:31:32her fingers trembling violently.

00:31:34You're my only brother.

00:31:37I will never let

00:31:38anyone hurt you.

00:31:39What?

00:31:40Her brother.

00:31:41Brother?

00:31:42Since when did

00:31:43you have a brother?

00:31:43Mia gently brushes

00:31:45my forehead.

00:31:46Her eyes fill with pain.

00:31:47Are you alright?

00:31:48Someone call a doctor.

00:31:49Doctor now.

00:31:50Help him.

00:31:52The doctors rush over

00:31:53and help me

00:31:54into a nearby chair.

00:31:56Mia clench her fists

00:31:57stands up

00:31:58and stares fiercely

00:32:00at everyone.

00:32:01Who did this?

00:32:02Miss Morgan.

00:32:03We were wrong to hit him

00:32:05but he started it.

00:32:06He impersonated the CEO

00:32:07crashed the annual gala

00:32:09and sat in the CEO's chair.

00:32:10We were defending

00:32:11the CEO's dignity.

00:32:12Mia said nothing.

00:32:14She raises her hand

00:32:15and slaps Phil hard

00:32:16across the face.

00:32:17The slap echoed

00:32:18through the entire hall.

00:32:20Eva catches

00:32:20the staggering Phil.

00:32:22What the hell

00:32:22are you talking about?

00:32:24My fault.

00:32:25Miss Morgan.

00:32:26Security was far too lax.

00:32:28He managed to slip in.

00:32:30I'll deal with this immediately.

00:32:32I'll sort everything out.

00:32:33The CEO will never find out.

00:32:35Mia turns

00:32:36and slaps Gilbert

00:32:37again across the face.

00:32:39Gilbert's head

00:32:40snapped to the side.

00:32:41He covers his cheek

00:32:42and doesn't dare

00:32:43to make a sound.

00:32:44You idiot.

00:32:45Do you have any idea

00:32:47who he is?

00:32:48He's just a piece of trash.

00:32:49For God's sake.

00:32:52Mia hears him muttering.

00:32:53She turns

00:32:54and slaps him again.

00:32:55Watch your mouth.

00:32:57Why?

00:32:59You hit me again?

00:33:00Miss Morgan.

00:33:02That man is nothing

00:33:02but a parasite.

00:33:04What else am I supposed

00:33:05to call him?

00:33:06Quite right, Miss Morgan.

00:33:08Mia's fury erupts

00:33:10completely.

00:33:11Her eyes blaze

00:33:12as if spitting fire.

00:33:13You venomous woman

00:33:14and you two ungrateful

00:33:16little beasts.

00:33:17You're lower than dirt.

00:33:20You've bullied him

00:33:21for 20 years.

00:33:22Today I'm gonna make you

00:33:23pay for every bit of it.

00:33:25Guards, surround them.

00:33:26Five guards step forward

00:33:28and surrounds Eva

00:33:29and the others.

00:33:30Eva's expression

00:33:31finally changes.

00:33:33What is all of this?

00:33:35Mia, stop.

00:33:36I regain consciousness

00:33:38and stride toward them.

00:33:39Blood still streams

00:33:40down my forehead

00:33:41but I had never been

00:33:42so clear-headed

00:33:43in my life.

00:33:45Eva stares at me

00:33:46in shock.

00:33:47She probably never imagined

00:33:48that the worthless trash

00:33:49she has trampled underfoot

00:33:51would ever be called

00:33:52brother

00:33:53by the CO.

00:33:55Ma'am,

00:33:56stop.

00:33:56Brother, are you alright?

00:33:59It's all my fault.

00:34:01My only brother

00:34:04hurt on my own turf.

00:34:05I pat Mia's shoulder

00:34:07reassuringly.

00:34:08Her eyes turns red

00:34:10just like when she was

00:34:11a little girl

00:34:11who had been wronged.

00:34:12Except this time

00:34:13it was me.

00:34:14Mia reaches out

00:34:15and examines the wound

00:34:16on my forehead

00:34:17with concern.

00:34:18Her actions made others

00:34:19jump to all sorts

00:34:20of malicious conclusions

00:34:21about the relationship

00:34:22between her and me.

00:34:24Why is dad so close

00:34:25to Miss Morgan?

00:34:26I'm wondering too.

00:34:28Why did Miss Morgan

00:34:29hit Uncle Phil

00:34:30for that loser?

00:34:31What's really between them?

00:34:32If Miss Morgan

00:34:33values him this much?

00:34:35Maybe he really is

00:34:37someone important

00:34:37we shouldn't mess with?

00:34:39Shit.

00:34:40I messed with

00:34:41the wrong person.

00:34:43Looks like John

00:34:44and the COO

00:34:45have something special

00:34:46going on.

00:34:47Miss Morgan,

00:34:48what exactly

00:34:50is your relationship

00:34:51with my good-for-nothing

00:34:52ex-husband?

00:34:56That's none of your

00:34:57damn business.

00:34:58I swear,

00:35:00today,

00:35:00every single one of you

00:35:02who hurt him

00:35:02is going to pay.

00:35:04Phil,

00:35:05Gilgret,

00:35:05and Eva's expressions

00:35:06grew complicated.

00:35:08Fear began to creep

00:35:09across their faces.

00:35:11Phil,

00:35:11you tell me right now,

00:35:12who the hell

00:35:13did you just beat up?

00:35:14He's just Eva's

00:35:15pathetic ex-husband.

00:35:16Who else would he be?

00:35:18Gilbert slaps Phil

00:35:19across the face.

00:35:20This lap is even

00:35:21harder than Mia's.

00:35:23A pathetic ex-husband?

00:35:25Then why the hell

00:35:26is the COO

00:35:27getting involved?

00:35:29And how did this

00:35:30so-called nobody

00:35:31even get into

00:35:32the gala

00:35:32in the first place?

00:35:33Phil clutches

00:35:34his face,

00:35:35stunned.

00:35:36He finally realizes

00:35:37something was

00:35:38terribly wrong.

00:35:39Mia hands the

00:35:40broken pocket watch

00:35:41back to me.

00:35:42Brother,

00:35:42this watch is over

00:35:43ten years old.

00:35:45I'm afraid it can

00:35:46never be put back

00:35:46together.

00:35:47I gaze at the photo

00:35:48inside the watch

00:35:49of my mother and me.

00:35:51are you watching

00:35:52from above?

00:35:52Watching your son

00:35:53get bullied

00:35:54by these scumbags?

00:35:55What do you want

00:35:56to do with them?

00:35:57I lift my head

00:35:58and glare at Eva.

00:36:00Furiously,

00:36:00she shook with terror.

00:36:02Phil, Alex,

00:36:03and Amy

00:36:04try to stand

00:36:05calm and firm,

00:36:06but their gazes

00:36:07shift restlessly.

00:36:09They were finally

00:36:10afraid.

00:36:11Too late.

00:36:11I clenched

00:36:12the broken pocket watch.

00:36:13This shattered watch

00:36:14was the last thing

00:36:15my mother left me.

00:36:17She shouldn't

00:36:17have touched it.

00:36:19there's one thing

00:36:19you never should

00:36:20have done.

00:36:22Smash my mother's

00:36:23last keepsake to me.

00:36:25It's just a piece

00:36:26of junk.

00:36:27What,

00:36:27you want to hit

00:36:28my mom or something?

00:36:29You've given them

00:36:30everything and this

00:36:30is how they pay you?

00:36:32Do you think

00:36:33they even deserve

00:36:33all of this?

00:36:34Suddenly,

00:36:35Phil points at me

00:36:36and Mia like he

00:36:36just discovered

00:36:37a new world.

00:36:38I get it now.

00:36:40Mia's been protecting

00:36:41you this whole time.

00:36:42No wonder you got

00:36:44into the gala

00:36:44so easily.

00:36:46You and Mia.

00:36:49You two have been

00:36:50having an affair

00:36:51this whole time,

00:36:52haven't you?

00:36:55Nice one,

00:36:56John.

00:36:56You accuse me

00:36:57of cheating?

00:36:57You're the one

00:36:58who's been cheating

00:36:59this whole time!

00:37:01You old bastard.

00:37:03I thought you

00:37:04were decent.

00:37:06You betrayed

00:37:07my mom!

00:37:08My face

00:37:08turns even colder.

00:37:10They're such experts

00:37:11at twisting the truth.

00:37:12When you divorced mom,

00:37:14you acted like

00:37:15the victim.

00:37:16Turns out

00:37:16you'd already been

00:37:17sleeping with this woman.

00:37:19How disgusting.

00:37:21Do you really think

00:37:22there is something

00:37:23going on between

00:37:24Mia and that man?

00:37:25Hard to say.

00:37:27Otherwise,

00:37:27why would Mia

00:37:28stand up for him?

00:37:29Buoyed by the voices

00:37:31agreeing with her,

00:37:32Eva grew

00:37:32increasingly arrogant.

00:37:34She approaches

00:37:35Mia,

00:37:35speaking in a

00:37:36bitterly sarcastic tone.

00:37:38Mia,

00:37:39so you like

00:37:39picking up the trash

00:37:40I've already played with?

00:37:41This is the kind

00:37:42of man you go for?

00:37:43No wonder

00:37:44you're still single

00:37:45in your 30s.

00:37:46Who knows

00:37:46how many younger men

00:37:47you're keeping

00:37:48on the side?

00:37:49You really think

00:37:49no one knows

00:37:50about all the

00:37:50dirty little secrets

00:37:51you've got going

00:37:52on behind the scenes?

00:37:53She doesn't get

00:37:54to finish her sentence.

00:37:55I give her

00:37:56a sharp,

00:37:57brutal slap.

00:37:58That single blow

00:37:59held all the resentment

00:38:00I'd bottled up

00:38:01for 20 years.

00:38:03Amy and Alex

00:38:04are utterly

00:38:04dumbfounded,

00:38:05their mouths

00:38:06hanging agape.

00:38:07Phil hurries

00:38:08to steady

00:38:09the staggering Eva.

00:38:10I stand before them,

00:38:12cold and unyielding,

00:38:13motionless,

00:38:14like a stone statue.

00:38:16Eva covers her cheek,

00:38:17staring at me

00:38:18in utter disbelief.

00:38:19She had never once

00:38:21thought the docile,

00:38:22submissive nobody

00:38:23would dare

00:38:23to lay a hand on her.

00:38:25This slap

00:38:26was not for me.

00:38:27It was for my mother

00:38:28and for Mia.

00:38:30Six bodyguards

00:38:31in black suits

00:38:32storms in,

00:38:33looking fierce

00:38:33and ready for action.

00:38:35But Eva doesn't panic.

00:38:36Instead,

00:38:37she holds her head high.

00:38:38Don't you dare.

00:38:40The CEO

00:38:41is giving me

00:38:42my well-deserved promotion

00:38:43at the annual gala.

00:38:45If you throw me out

00:38:46and he can't reach me,

00:38:47do you think

00:38:48you can handle

00:38:48the consequences?

00:38:51That's right.

00:38:53Mom becoming COO

00:38:54was the CEO's decision.

00:38:57Once she gets

00:38:58this position,

00:38:59you'll all be screwed.

00:39:01glad you reminded me.

00:39:03I almost forgot

00:39:04about this.

00:39:06Mia and I

00:39:06exchange look.

00:39:07We both knew

00:39:08Eva wasn't getting

00:39:09any promotion letter

00:39:10today at all.

00:39:12Mia holds out her hand.

00:39:13An assistant promptly

00:39:14hands her

00:39:15a red leather folder.

00:39:16The CEO does indeed

00:39:18have something

00:39:18he needs me

00:39:19to hand to you personally.

00:39:21Mom,

00:39:22this is wonderful.

00:39:23Congratulations.

00:39:24After all these years,

00:39:26your dream

00:39:27has finally come true.

00:39:28Eva tries hard

00:39:29to suppress the smile

00:39:31tugging at the corners

00:39:32of her lips.

00:39:33She thinks she is winning.

00:39:34Mom,

00:39:35in struggle home for mission,

00:39:38once you become COO,

00:39:40don't forget the house

00:39:42you promised me.

00:39:43Mia hands the red folder

00:39:44to Eva

00:39:45like handing over a knife.

00:39:47Quick, Eva.

00:39:48Open it.

00:39:48Open it now.

00:39:50Smiling,

00:39:50Eva opens the red folder.

00:39:52I smirk.

00:39:53Alex and Amy lean in,

00:39:55faces full of anticipation.

00:39:56Then,

00:39:57their smiles froze.

00:39:58How is this possible?

00:40:03A termination notice.

00:40:06Eva covers her face,

00:40:07utterly dumbfounded.

00:40:09She never thought

00:40:10she would ever

00:40:10take a slap from me.

00:40:12Never.

00:40:12But I've wanted to slap her

00:40:13for way too long.

00:40:16John,

00:40:17how dare you hit me

00:40:19just because of

00:40:20your little mistress?

00:40:22Shut your mouth up!

00:40:23He's my sister.

00:40:25I won't you slander her

00:40:26like that.

00:40:27I've known you

00:40:28for over 20 years

00:40:29and I've never heard

00:40:30a single word

00:40:31about you having a sister.

00:40:33And you call me a cheater.

00:40:35Turns out,

00:40:36you hooked yourself

00:40:36a rich woman, huh?

00:40:38The divorce worked out

00:40:39perfectly for you,

00:40:40didn't it?

00:40:43Mom,

00:40:43you were blind

00:40:44to even fall for him.

00:40:50Phil's eyes

00:40:51shift slyly,

00:40:52putting on yet another

00:40:53pitiful performance.

00:40:55He won't see us?

00:40:56This is all you're doing.

00:40:58I get it now,

00:40:59Miss Morgan.

00:41:00You were afraid

00:41:01Eva becoming COO

00:41:03would threaten your position.

00:41:04So you spread rumors.

00:41:06You and John

00:41:06doctored the letter together.

00:41:11I'm going to report this

00:41:13to the CEO.

00:41:14I'll make every single

00:41:15one of them pay!

00:41:16Mia looks at them coldly

00:41:17like she was watching

00:41:18a bunch of clowns.

00:41:20Eva,

00:41:21Phil,

00:41:21Gilbert,

00:41:22you assaulted a guest.

00:41:25That's it.

00:41:26You're all fired.

00:41:28Gilbert's jaw drops

00:41:29in utter disbelief.

00:41:30How dare you?

00:41:31I want to see the CEO.

00:41:33I'm reporting you

00:41:34for abuse of power.

00:41:36Enough.

00:41:37Throw them out.

00:41:38The guard swum forward,

00:41:40dragging them out.

00:41:41Eva struggles and screams,

00:41:43her voice echoing sharply

00:41:44throughout the ballroom.

00:41:46Even as she was being

00:41:47escorted out,

00:41:48she kept howling

00:41:49like a pathetic stray cur.

00:41:50I want to see the CEO!

00:41:53You can't shut me up!

00:41:57Mia and I stand

00:41:58in the center of the ballroom,

00:42:00watching them being

00:42:01driven out.

00:42:02The moment the doors close,

00:42:03the world finally

00:42:04falls quiet.

00:42:05Brother,

00:42:06do you think

00:42:06they're gonna let this go?

00:42:07I look at the closed doors,

00:42:09a cold smile

00:42:10curling at the corner

00:42:11of my lips.

00:42:12I shake my head,

00:42:14let them do

00:42:14whatever they want.

00:42:15They're just a bunch

00:42:16of clowns.

00:42:1720 years of bond

00:42:18between us

00:42:19has ended completely.

00:42:20From this day forth,

00:42:22we are strangers.

00:42:23Eva stands there,

00:42:25holding the termination notice.

00:42:26Frozen stiff,

00:42:28as if struck by lightning.

00:42:29No way!

00:42:30This can't be true!

00:42:34John!

00:42:35You're behind all of this!

00:42:37Miss Morgan,

00:42:38let's be fair here.

00:42:39Eva has worked her ass off

00:42:41for over a decade.

00:42:43What possible reason

00:42:44does the CEO have

00:42:45to fire her?

00:42:46John,

00:42:46are you doing this

00:42:47just to get back

00:42:48at my mom?

00:42:49I sneer.

00:42:49Revenge?

00:42:50She did this to herself.

00:42:52Suddenly,

00:42:52Eva bursts out laughing,

00:42:54like she'd lost her mind.

00:42:55The laughter echoes

00:42:56through the ballroom,

00:42:57sending chills

00:42:58down everyone's spine.

00:42:59She throws the termination

00:43:00notice to the ground,

00:43:01seething with rage,

00:43:03and strides toward me.

00:43:04This can't be true!

00:43:06The CEO was supposed

00:43:07to promote me!

00:43:08Where is the CEO?

00:43:09I need to see him!

00:43:11He doesn't want to see you.

00:43:13Three days later,

00:43:14I push open the door

00:43:16of the coffee shop.

00:43:17Sunlight streams

00:43:18through the floor-to-ceiling windows,

00:43:20falling upon a woman

00:43:22sitting alone.

00:43:22I slow my steps,

00:43:24staring at her back.

00:43:25It was a silhouette

00:43:26I know all too well.

00:43:28She turns and stands up,

00:43:30smiling,

00:43:31though she's 40 now.

00:43:32But when she smiles,

00:43:34she looks 20 again.

00:43:35John.

00:43:36Annie.

00:43:38Annie.

00:43:38It's you.

00:43:45Annie.

00:43:46My old friend.

00:43:4720 years had gone by.

00:43:49Yet she seemed unchanged.

00:43:51No.

00:43:52She has changed.

00:43:53She's even better.

00:43:56I was concentrating

00:43:58on my wood carving.

00:43:59Wood shavings curled off

00:44:01beneath my fingers.

00:44:02These hands had cooked

00:44:04for Eva for 20 years.

00:44:06Now they finally get

00:44:07to do something for me.

00:44:09Mia enters the room,

00:44:11holding an invitation.

00:44:13John,

00:44:14now that you're back as CEO,

00:44:15you really should attend

00:44:16the meeting

00:44:17three days from now.

00:44:19I nod

00:44:19and tell her I got it.

00:44:21Mia didn't leave.

00:44:23She stands quietly behind me,

00:44:25hesitant to speak her mind.

00:44:27John,

00:44:28you've thrown yourself

00:44:28headfirst into work.

00:44:30You don't go to any of the events

00:44:32I set up for you?

00:44:33Are you still hung up on Eva?

00:44:35She grabs my arm,

00:44:37her eyes full of concern.

00:44:40John,

00:44:40I've scheduled a dinner

00:44:42with that investor.

00:44:43She's stunning.

00:44:45Go meet her.

00:44:46Maybe she can help you

00:44:47forget about Eva.

00:44:49I put down my carving

00:44:50and sigh.

00:44:51Mia,

00:44:52I don't need that.

00:44:53She's coming to discuss business.

00:44:55A private meeting like that

00:44:56would look bad.

00:44:57I'd rather not go.

00:44:58You've got it wrong.

00:45:00She asked me to invite you.

00:45:02And you know her too.

00:45:04If you don't go,

00:45:05you'll regret it.

00:45:06I look up at Mia's mysterious smile

00:45:09and nod dot.

00:45:10I trust Mia.

00:45:11She never lied to me.

00:45:13When I opened the book,

00:45:14a bookmark slipped out.

00:45:17Written on it

00:45:18was a simple confession.

00:45:20I like you.

00:45:21I smile wistfully.

00:45:23Twenty years had passed.

00:45:24I still kept that precious bookmark.

00:45:27I never imagined

00:45:28that little girl

00:45:30who came to borrow books

00:45:31from me every day

00:45:32would grow into

00:45:33such an extraordinary woman.

00:45:35Annie blushes

00:45:36and smiles bashfully.

00:45:38At forty,

00:45:39she still smiles

00:45:40like the girl I remember.

00:45:43The real reason

00:45:44I went overseas

00:45:45all those years ago

00:45:46was to be someone

00:45:48worthy of you.

00:45:54I sit across from Annie.

00:45:56Warm sunlight

00:45:57falls across her face.

00:45:59Two decades

00:46:00feel like nothing

00:46:01but a fleeting dream.

00:46:02What's wrong?

00:46:03Surprised to see me?

00:46:05Annie?

00:46:06I can't believe it.

00:46:09It's been

00:46:09like twenty years

00:46:11since we last

00:46:12saw each other.

00:46:13That year,

00:46:13we were both still young.

00:46:15She was wearing

00:46:16her school uniform.

00:46:17So was I.

00:46:18She came to return

00:46:19a book to me

00:46:20just like always.

00:46:22John,

00:46:23I'm leaving

00:46:23for business school

00:46:24in Europe.

00:46:25I won't get to borrow

00:46:26your books anymore.

00:46:28Here,

00:46:28this belongs back to you.

00:46:31I took the book.

00:46:32It felt like

00:46:33a piece of my heart

00:46:34was missing.

00:46:35She handed me

00:46:37a small box of cookies.

00:46:38I wanted to

00:46:39give you something

00:46:40I made myself,

00:46:41so I bake these cookies.

00:46:45Think of it as

00:46:47a little goodbye gift.

00:46:52You're really

00:46:53going abroad to study?

00:46:54Yes.

00:46:55You're already

00:46:56the youngest billionaire

00:46:57in the city.

00:46:58I need to work hard

00:47:00to catch up.

00:47:01Only then maybe

00:47:03I could finally...

00:47:05I could finally...

00:47:06She never finished

00:47:06her sentence.

00:47:07Those words

00:47:08stayed unspoken

00:47:10for 20 years.

00:47:11Before she departed,

00:47:13she held me

00:47:13in a tight embrace.

00:47:15That hug

00:47:15was far warmer

00:47:17than any affection

00:47:18Eva had given me

00:47:19over 20 years.

00:47:21I watched her leave.

00:47:24her silhouette

00:47:25fading farther

00:47:26and farther away.

00:47:28Annie looks at me.

00:47:30There was hope

00:47:31in her eyes

00:47:31and 20 years

00:47:32of waiting.

00:47:33Back then,

00:47:34you were the golden boy,

00:47:35so I went abroad

00:47:37trying to catch up

00:47:37to you to become

00:47:38someone worthy

00:47:39of standing

00:47:39by your side.

00:47:40But when I finally

00:47:41came back,

00:47:43you no longer

00:47:44belonged to me.

00:47:45I was deeply moved.

00:47:47Those words

00:47:47hit me right

00:47:48in the chest.

00:47:49I had given

00:47:50everything

00:47:50in the first half

00:47:51of my life

00:47:52to Eva

00:47:53and the children.

00:47:54But I never knew

00:47:55that someone

00:47:56had been quietly

00:47:57caring for me

00:47:58all these years.

00:48:00John,

00:48:00now that you're free,

00:48:02maybe you could

00:48:03give us a chance?

00:48:04Annie gazes at me

00:48:05with deep affection.

00:48:07Her eyes were soft

00:48:08but certain.

00:48:09So,

00:48:10what's your answer?

00:48:12I lower my head

00:48:13and fall silent

00:48:14for a few seconds.

00:48:15Annie,

00:48:16I don't want

00:48:16to hold you back.

00:48:17I just got divorced.

00:48:19And I'm not ready

00:48:19to start a new

00:48:20relationship yet.

00:48:21That's okay.

00:48:23I've waited this long,

00:48:25haven't I?

00:48:25I can wait

00:48:25a little longer

00:48:27until you've really

00:48:28let go of the past.

00:48:30I don't love Eva anymore.

00:48:32But I just got divorced

00:48:33and the investment meeting

00:48:34is right around the corner.

00:48:37If I said yes to you now,

00:48:38it would feel like

00:48:39I'm using you.

00:48:40That wouldn't be fair

00:48:41to you at all.

00:48:42After the meeting is over,

00:48:44I'll give you

00:48:44a real answer.

00:48:45All right.

00:48:47Our company was already

00:48:48leaning toward

00:48:48your product anyway,

00:48:50so don't worry.

00:48:51I won't mix business

00:48:52with personal stuff.

00:48:54Since you've made a promise,

00:48:56I'll wait for your answer.

00:48:58All right.

00:48:59I promise.

00:49:00We stand up to leave.

00:49:02Suddenly,

00:49:03Annie stumbles slightly

00:49:04as her high heel twists.

00:49:06She almost fell.

00:49:07I reach out quickly

00:49:08to steady her,

00:49:09catching her gently

00:49:10into my arms.

00:49:11Our eyes meet,

00:49:12and the air between us

00:49:14instantly fills with tension.

00:49:16And then,

00:49:16a sharp,

00:49:17nasty voice

00:49:18cut through the moment

00:49:19like a cold knife,

00:49:21shattering the warmth.

00:49:24Annie and I

00:49:25pull apart quickly.

00:49:26Flirting with another woman

00:49:28in broad daylight?

00:49:29Eva walks over

00:49:30with Alex and Amy,

00:49:31a familiar sneer

00:49:32on her face

00:49:33that I knew all too well.

00:49:34Pathetic.

00:49:35A leopard

00:49:36never changes its spots.

00:49:38This woman

00:49:39just won't leave me alone.

00:49:40She can't even let me

00:49:42have a cup of coffee

00:49:43in peace.

00:49:43I didn't hesitate.

00:49:46Eva,

00:49:47what the hell do you want?

00:49:48What do I want?

00:49:49Look at you!

00:49:51One woman

00:49:52is not enough for you?

00:49:53You just cannot wait

00:49:55to jump into

00:49:55someone else's bed.

00:49:57Watch your mouth.

00:49:58Pathetic.

00:49:59At least your taste

00:50:01is consistent.

00:50:01You have latched

00:50:02onto another rich woman.

00:50:06Hey, beautiful.

00:50:07Why waste your time

00:50:09on this old guy?

00:50:10I am younger than him,

00:50:12stronger,

00:50:13and better than him

00:50:14in every single way.

00:50:20I slap Alex

00:50:22across the face hard.

00:50:24Eva catches him,

00:50:25stunned.

00:50:27You bastard.

00:50:29Apologize.

00:50:30Now!

00:50:31How dare you

00:50:32hit my son!

00:50:34You filthy bastard!

00:50:36You cheating bastard!

00:50:37You shameless moocher!

00:50:39I let out

00:50:40a mocking laugh.

00:50:41How ridiculous.

00:50:43I could throw

00:50:44every single one

00:50:45of those insults

00:50:45right back at her.

00:50:46I grab Annie's arm

00:50:48and try to leave.

00:50:49But Eva blocks our way

00:50:50like an unhinked maniac.

00:50:52She stares at Annie

00:50:53with nothing but venom

00:50:54in her eyes.

00:50:55You have no idea

00:50:56what kind of man

00:50:57you got involved with.

00:50:58This piece of trash.

00:51:00He lived off me

00:51:02for years.

00:51:03Then he sucked up

00:51:04to the company's COO

00:51:06and now he's clinging

00:51:08to you for your money.

00:51:11If John were willing

00:51:12to let me support him,

00:51:13it's an honor for me.

00:51:16Eva freezes.

00:51:17Her face was full

00:51:18of disbelief.

00:51:19they probably

00:51:20never imagined

00:51:20anyone would ever

00:51:21say something like that.

00:51:24Eva,

00:51:25I am warning you

00:51:26for the last time.

00:51:27I destroyed your career

00:51:29once and I can do it again.

00:51:31Push me any further

00:51:32and I will make you

00:51:33disappear from this city

00:51:34completely.

00:51:43Go ahead and enjoy

00:51:44your little moment, John.

00:51:46Three days from now

00:51:47at the investor meeting

00:51:48I will drag you

00:51:49down to hell.

00:51:51You will never

00:51:52get back up.

00:51:53I don't even bother

00:51:54looking back.

00:51:55Three days from now

00:51:56we'll see who

00:51:58drags who to hell.

00:51:59The banquet hall

00:52:00packs with guests

00:52:02who mingle with

00:52:03wine glasses

00:52:03and hand laughter

00:52:05and the clink

00:52:06of glasses

00:52:06fills the air.

00:52:08Eva stands

00:52:08at the center

00:52:09of the crowd

00:52:10chatting confidently

00:52:11as if she had

00:52:12never been fired.

00:52:13The main door

00:52:15swings open.

00:52:16I walk in

00:52:17with one hand

00:52:18in my pocket

00:52:18surrounded by

00:52:20bodyguards.

00:52:21Twenty years

00:52:22have passed

00:52:22but I've never

00:52:23lost this presence.

00:52:25Eva cucked

00:52:25his sight of me

00:52:26her smile freezing

00:52:28on her face

00:52:28as if she'd

00:52:29been choked.

00:52:30She grabs

00:52:30Amy's arm

00:52:31pointing in my

00:52:32direction

00:52:32and strides

00:52:33over toward me.

00:52:34Well, well

00:52:35look who is

00:52:36all alone.

00:52:36Where is your

00:52:37old fling

00:52:38and that wealthy

00:52:39lady who runs

00:52:39the coffee shop?

00:52:40How funny

00:52:41not a single

00:52:42one of them

00:52:43is here.

00:52:43Maybe they both

00:52:44found out

00:52:44you've been

00:52:45playing both

00:52:45sides

00:52:46and dumped you?

00:52:47I sip my drink

00:52:48waiting for the

00:52:49meeting to start

00:52:50not wanting to

00:52:51waste my time

00:52:52on a bunch

00:52:52of clowns.

00:52:57Ladies and

00:52:57gentlemen

00:52:58good evening.

00:52:59first let me

00:53:01introduce

00:53:01tonight's

00:53:02representative

00:53:02of the

00:53:03capital

00:53:03side

00:53:04Mr.

00:53:04Charles.

00:53:05The host

00:53:06gestures toward

00:53:06Charles

00:53:07a man in

00:53:08his 40s

00:53:09Annie's

00:53:10subordinate.

00:53:13Charles raises

00:53:14his glass

00:53:15politely.

00:53:16Thank you all

00:53:17for coming.

00:53:18Now I

00:53:19officially declare

00:53:21the investment

00:53:21conference

00:53:22open.

00:53:23Wait!

00:53:24I have

00:53:24something to

00:53:25say.

00:53:27Charles pauses

00:53:28and sets

00:53:29down his

00:53:29glass.

00:53:30The entire

00:53:31hall falls

00:53:32silent.

00:53:32Her voice

00:53:33was sharp

00:53:34and piercing

00:53:35like nails

00:53:36on a chalkboard.

00:53:37What was she

00:53:38going to say?

00:53:39Nothing more

00:53:39than her usual

00:53:40self-righteous

00:53:41slander and

00:53:42lies.

00:53:43Did she really

00:53:43think that would

00:53:44bring me down?

00:53:45Very well

00:53:46ma'am.

00:53:47Please go

00:53:48ahead.

00:53:49What is it

00:53:50you'd like to

00:53:50say?

00:53:51Ladies and

00:53:52gentlemen

00:53:52our purpose

00:53:53here today

00:53:54is simple.

00:53:55The major

00:53:56investor wants

00:53:56to enter

00:53:57the tech

00:53:57sector and

00:53:58find suitable

00:53:59partners.

00:54:00This is not

00:54:01just about

00:54:02capital or

00:54:02capability.

00:54:03The most

00:54:04important thing

00:54:05is character.

00:54:06It's not that

00:54:07obvious.

00:54:08Everyone here

00:54:09has both

00:54:09capability and

00:54:10integrity,

00:54:11do not they?

00:54:12What is this

00:54:13woman trying

00:54:13to say?

00:54:14Everyone here

00:54:15belongs in

00:54:16this room

00:54:18except one

00:54:19man.

00:54:21And that

00:54:22person

00:54:23is you,

00:54:25my ex-husband

00:54:26John.

00:54:28The guests

00:54:29and Charles

00:54:29all turn to

00:54:30look at me.

00:54:31Suddenly,

00:54:32two photos

00:54:32flashes up on

00:54:33the big screen.

00:54:34One of a

00:54:34young John

00:54:35with Mia

00:54:36and another

00:54:37of John

00:54:37with Annie.

00:54:38Mr. Charles,

00:54:40John's a

00:54:40leech.

00:54:41His private

00:54:42life is a

00:54:42mess.

00:54:43He's been

00:54:43messing around

00:54:44with two

00:54:44women at

00:54:44the same

00:54:45time.

00:54:45He doesn't

00:54:46deserve to

00:54:47partner with

00:54:47you.

00:54:48He doesn't

00:54:49even deserve

00:54:49to stand

00:54:50here.

00:54:50The crowd

00:54:51gasps and

00:54:52buzzes with

00:54:53chatter.

00:54:53That woman

00:54:54looks familiar.

00:54:55Isn't that

00:54:56Mia Morgan,

00:54:56the COO of

00:54:57Nexus Capital

00:54:58Group?

00:54:59This guy's

00:55:00good at it.

00:55:01He actually

00:55:01hooked Mia

00:55:02Morgan?

00:55:04Who's the

00:55:05other woman?

00:55:05She's pretty

00:55:06hot too.

00:55:08I stand

00:55:09rooting to

00:55:10the spot,

00:55:11listening to

00:55:11those whispers,

00:55:12my face

00:55:13darkening with

00:55:14anger.

00:55:15Eva, if

00:55:16you're asking

00:55:16for it, I'll

00:55:17give you what

00:55:18you want.

00:55:18Eva sashays

00:55:20towards Charles,

00:55:21a warm smile

00:55:22plastered on her

00:55:22face.

00:55:23Mr. Charles,

00:55:24as the

00:55:25investor's

00:55:25representative,

00:55:26I'm sure you

00:55:27will make the

00:55:28right judgment.

00:55:28Charles adjusts

00:55:29his suit jacket,

00:55:31a hint of

00:55:31helplessness on

00:55:32his face.

00:55:32He had

00:55:33probably never

00:55:34seen a woman

00:55:34so reckless

00:55:35with her own

00:55:36fate.

00:55:36He doesn't

00:55:37belong here.

00:55:37I used to

00:55:38be a sales

00:55:39director at

00:55:39Nexus Capital

00:55:4010 years of

00:55:41experience, and

00:55:43I've prepared a

00:55:44perfect promotional

00:55:45plan for your

00:55:45company.

00:55:47Charles takes

00:55:48Eva's proposal

00:55:49and flips

00:55:50through it

00:55:50quickly.

00:55:51His frown

00:55:52deepens with

00:55:52every page.

00:55:53If you take

00:55:54my advice,

00:55:55you'll find

00:55:56the most

00:55:56suitable

00:55:56partner.

00:55:57You'll

00:55:58dominate the

00:55:59market and

00:55:59become the

00:56:00industry leader.

00:56:01Charles snaps

00:56:02the proposal

00:56:02shut.

00:56:03Then, without

00:56:04a word, he

00:56:05slaps Eva

00:56:06hard across

00:56:07the face.

00:56:08She shrieks,

00:56:10her scream

00:56:10piercing through

00:56:11the entire

00:56:12conference hall.

00:56:13The guests

00:56:14exchange stunning

00:56:15glances.

00:56:16Alex and Amy

00:56:16rushes to support

00:56:18Eva.

00:56:19How dare you

00:56:19slander our

00:56:20investor!

00:56:21Charles hurls

00:56:22the proposal at

00:56:23Eva.

00:56:23Papers scatter

00:56:24across the floor.

00:56:26I didn't!

00:56:27When did I

00:56:28slander the

00:56:28investor?

00:56:29I only talked

00:56:30about that

00:56:31worthless piece

00:56:31piece of trash!

00:56:33John!

00:56:34Charles follows

00:56:34her pointing

00:56:35finger and

00:56:36looks at me.

00:56:36I stand

00:56:37calmly, arms

00:56:38crossing, like

00:56:39I was watching

00:56:39a circus.

00:56:41Alex turned

00:56:42to me furiously,

00:56:43his eyes blazing

00:56:44with rage, but

00:56:45I don't even

00:56:46flinch.

00:56:47You old

00:56:47bastard!

00:56:48What trick are

00:56:49you pulling

00:56:49now?

00:56:50A trick?

00:56:51Against you?

00:56:53You're not even

00:56:53worth the effort.

00:56:57The investor

00:56:58has arrived.

00:56:59The doors

00:57:00swing open.

00:57:01Two bodyguards

00:57:02stand on

00:57:03either side.

00:57:04Annie strides

00:57:04in.

00:57:05Her gaze

00:57:05sweeps over

00:57:06Eva, then

00:57:07Alex, and

00:57:08finally lands

00:57:09on me.

00:57:10She smiles,

00:57:12just slightly.

00:57:14Throw this

00:57:14stupid woman

00:57:15out!

00:57:15Alex and

00:57:16Amy look

00:57:16around anxiously,

00:57:17at a complete

00:57:18loss.

00:57:19They finally

00:57:19realize they

00:57:20are in trouble

00:57:21and panicked.

00:57:22Get out!

00:57:23Get out!

00:57:24All of you!

00:57:25Shut up!

00:57:26I haven't

00:57:27slandered anyone!

00:57:30Eva stares

00:57:31at me and

00:57:32walks toward me.

00:57:33Every step

00:57:33was filled

00:57:34with hatred.

00:57:35John, are you

00:57:36telling me you

00:57:36and your COO

00:57:37don't have

00:57:37something going

00:57:38on?

00:57:38The doors

00:57:39swing open

00:57:40once again.

00:57:41Mia strides

00:57:42in with an

00:57:43imposing presence.

00:57:44Of course

00:57:44I dare.

00:57:46John is my

00:57:46brother.

00:57:47There is

00:57:48absolutely no

00:57:48improper

00:57:49relationship

00:57:49between us

00:57:50and there

00:57:50never will be.

00:57:51Mia walks

00:57:52over.

00:57:54and links

00:57:55her arm

00:57:55with mine.

00:58:01Everyone

00:58:01watches as

00:58:02Annie walks

00:58:02in.

00:58:07I smile.

00:58:09My eyes fix

00:58:09on her.

00:58:10Eva stands

00:58:11frozen.

00:58:11Her eye

00:58:12is wide

00:58:12open.

00:58:12as if she'd

00:58:13something

00:58:14unbelievable.

00:58:15Isn't she

00:58:15the other

00:58:16woman from

00:58:16the photo?

00:58:18How did

00:58:18this guy

00:58:19manage to

00:58:19win up

00:58:20two

00:58:22beautiful

00:58:22women?

00:58:26There's

00:58:26nothing going

00:58:27on between

00:58:27John and

00:58:28me.

00:58:28Go ahead,

00:58:29say another

00:58:29word,

00:58:30see what

00:58:30happens.

00:58:31Nothing?

00:58:32You were

00:58:32holding each

00:58:32other so

00:58:33closely,

00:58:34that's

00:58:34nothing?

00:58:34Eva mimicked

00:58:35the embrace

00:58:36from the

00:58:36photo on

00:58:37the screen,

00:58:37her gestures

00:58:38growing more

00:58:39exaggerated,

00:58:40as if she

00:58:40were putting

00:58:41on a comedy

00:58:41show.

00:58:42I watch

00:58:43her,

00:58:43expressionless.

00:58:44She can't

00:58:45even throw

00:58:45a tantrum

00:58:46without looking

00:58:46cheap.

00:58:47I bet

00:58:47this old

00:58:48bastard

00:58:48has completely

00:58:49fooled you,

00:58:49hasn't he?

00:58:50Hmm?

00:58:55My name

00:58:56sounds filthy

00:58:56just coming

00:58:57out of your

00:58:58mouth.

00:58:59So what

00:59:00if John

00:59:00and I

00:59:00are together?

00:59:01It's none

00:59:02of your

00:59:02business.

00:59:03Slandering

00:59:04my relationship

00:59:04with John,

00:59:05is this how

00:59:05you treat

00:59:06guests?

00:59:06Hey,

00:59:07this whole

00:59:07mess is that

00:59:08stupid woman's

00:59:09fault.

00:59:09What does it

00:59:09have to do

00:59:10with us?

00:59:10John,

00:59:11you're tight

00:59:11with the

00:59:11investor.

00:59:12Put in a

00:59:12good word

00:59:13for us,

00:59:13buddy.

00:59:14I remain

00:59:14silent,

00:59:15listening.

00:59:16These people

00:59:16just moments

00:59:18ago,

00:59:18they were

00:59:19laughing at

00:59:19me.

00:59:20Now they

00:59:20are begging.

00:59:21Let me

00:59:22introduce you.

00:59:23The CEO

00:59:24of Nexus

00:59:25Capital Group,

00:59:26my older

00:59:27brother,

00:59:28John Morgan.

00:59:29Eva was

00:59:30dumbfounded.

00:59:33Wait,

00:59:33the CEO

00:59:35of Nexus

00:59:35Capital Group?

00:59:37That legendary

00:59:38billionaire?

00:59:39Charles nods,

00:59:41smiling calmly.

00:59:42Alex and

00:59:43Amy look at

00:59:43the crowd,

00:59:44their faces

00:59:45turning pale.

00:59:46This can't

00:59:46be.

00:59:47Eva Collins,

00:59:49you have no

00:59:49idea what

00:59:50you've lost,

00:59:51and every bit

00:59:52of it is your

00:59:53own damn

00:59:53fault.

00:59:54Eva freezes

00:59:55for a second.

00:59:56Then,

00:59:58she suddenly

00:59:58bursts into

00:59:59laughter.

01:00:00It was

01:00:00hysterical,

01:00:01like she had

01:00:02lost her

01:00:02mind.

01:00:04I get it,

01:00:06Mia.

01:00:06You're just

01:00:06covering for

01:00:07the gigola

01:00:08you're keeping.

01:00:09Eva,

01:00:11still can't

01:00:12face reality?

01:00:13Go online

01:00:13and search

01:00:14for who the

01:00:14CEO of

01:00:15Nexus

01:00:15Capital is.

01:00:16I've warned

01:00:17you many

01:00:17times.

01:00:18Too lazy

01:00:19to check?

01:00:20No.

01:00:21No way.

01:00:22Alex pulls

01:00:23out his phone,

01:00:24his fingers

01:00:25trembling.

01:00:28He's just

01:00:29a loser

01:00:30who stayed

01:00:30at home

01:00:31for decades.

01:00:32But Eva

01:00:32kept running

01:00:33her mouth.

01:00:35CEO?

01:00:36Billionaire?

01:00:37You are

01:00:38kidding me!

01:00:41Mom,

01:00:41look.

01:00:43The CEO

01:00:44of Nexus

01:00:45Capital Group

01:00:45really is

01:00:47Dad.

01:00:48Eva snatches

01:00:49the phone,

01:00:49her eyes

01:00:50wide,

01:00:50staring at

01:00:51the screen.

01:00:52Then,

01:00:53she shut

01:00:53a glance

01:00:53at me.

01:00:55It must

01:00:56be a coincidence.

01:00:58The same

01:00:58name?

01:01:00Suddenly,

01:01:01she loses

01:01:01it and

01:01:02slams the

01:01:02phone hard

01:01:03to the

01:01:03ground.

01:01:04The screen

01:01:05shatters

01:01:05instantly,

01:01:06just like

01:01:07the broken

01:01:07promotion

01:01:08dream.

01:01:08Eva Collins,

01:01:10do you really

01:01:10think everything

01:01:11you have was

01:01:11earned by

01:01:11yourself?

01:01:12It was my

01:01:12brother who

01:01:13gave it to

01:01:13you.

01:01:14But now,

01:01:14you've destroyed

01:01:15it all with

01:01:16your own

01:01:16hands.

01:01:17I listen

01:01:17to it all

01:01:18in silence,

01:01:19watching Eva

01:01:20stand frozen

01:01:21in shock,

01:01:22her lips

01:01:22trembling.

01:01:23Not a

01:01:24single word

01:01:24comes out

01:01:25of her.

01:01:25She finally

01:01:26knows the

01:01:27truth.

01:01:28Suddenly,

01:01:29Alex and

01:01:30Amy rush

01:01:30forward and

01:01:31drop to

01:01:31their knees

01:01:32in front

01:01:32of me,

01:01:32desperately

01:01:33grabbing my

01:01:33hands.

01:01:36Dad,

01:01:37I was

01:01:37wrong!

01:01:38Please,

01:01:39give me

01:01:39another chance,

01:01:40I beg you!

01:01:40I look down

01:01:41at them.

01:01:42These faces,

01:01:43the same ones

01:01:44that had called

01:01:45me a useless

01:01:45old man not

01:01:46long ago,

01:01:47are now

01:01:48plastering with

01:01:49fawning desperation

01:01:50and fear.

01:01:51I rip my

01:01:51hands away.

01:01:52and fall

01:01:53to the floor.

01:01:55Then they

01:01:55scramble right

01:01:56back up and

01:01:57crawl toward

01:01:58me again.

01:01:59They grab

01:01:59my hands

01:02:00once more,

01:02:01pleading

01:02:01pitifully.

01:02:03Guards,

01:02:04drag them

01:02:04out!

01:02:05Two bodyguards

01:02:06rush over,

01:02:07grab them

01:02:07and Eva,

01:02:08and haul

01:02:08them toward

01:02:09the door.

01:02:09They struggle

01:02:10furiously,

01:02:11shouting,

01:02:12their voices

01:02:13echoing through

01:02:13the hall.

01:02:14I stand

01:02:15where I was,

01:02:16my resolve

01:02:16unshaken.

01:02:17The moment

01:02:18they threw

01:02:19me out

01:02:19of that

01:02:20house,

01:02:20they were

01:02:21not my

01:02:21family anymore.

01:02:23A belated

01:02:24confession is

01:02:24nothing but

01:02:25a pale

01:02:25excuse.

01:02:29Mia keeps

01:02:30laying into

01:02:31Eva.

01:02:31Every word

01:02:32is like a

01:02:33knife,

01:02:33cutting straight

01:02:34into her

01:02:35heart.

01:02:35You never

01:02:36even finished

01:02:36high school.

01:02:38Someone who

01:02:38is incompetent

01:02:39at everything,

01:02:40what made

01:02:40you think

01:02:40you could

01:02:41hold your

01:02:41own at

01:02:41Nexus

01:02:42Capital?

01:02:42And yet

01:02:43you clawed

01:02:43your way

01:02:44up to

01:02:44manager,

01:02:44even COO.

01:02:45Eva shakes

01:02:46her head

01:02:46in despair,

01:02:48looking

01:02:48completely

01:02:48broken.

01:02:49Alex and

01:02:50Amy frowned

01:02:51tidy,

01:02:52looking utterly

01:02:53confused.

01:02:54They had

01:02:54clearly never

01:02:55once thought

01:02:56about that

01:02:56question.

01:02:57Back in

01:02:572001,

01:02:58it was only

01:02:59because of

01:03:00your deal

01:03:00with Golden

01:03:01Fox Group

01:03:01that you

01:03:02became the

01:03:02company's

01:03:02top salesperson.

01:03:04When the

01:03:04company needed

01:03:05a sales director

01:03:06and a position

01:03:07happened to

01:03:07open up,

01:03:08you stepped

01:03:08in.

01:03:09Don't kid

01:03:10yourself,

01:03:10your success

01:03:11today isn't

01:03:11all down to

01:03:12you.

01:03:12Alex was

01:03:13stunned.

01:03:14He lowers

01:03:14his head

01:03:15in disbelief.

01:03:16He finally

01:03:17begins to

01:03:17understand where

01:03:18his so-called

01:03:19talent had

01:03:20really come

01:03:21from.

01:03:21I listened

01:03:22quietly to

01:03:23Mia's words.

01:03:24Every date,

01:03:25every event,

01:03:26every step

01:03:27of the way,

01:03:27I had paved

01:03:28the road for

01:03:29her.

01:03:30Without my

01:03:30brother's help,

01:03:31you are

01:03:32nothing.

01:03:33Eva shakes

01:03:34her head

01:03:34repeatedly,

01:03:35backing away.

01:03:36Her high heels

01:03:37clatter against

01:03:38the floor in a

01:03:39chaotic mess.

01:03:40No!

01:03:41That was my

01:03:42hard work!

01:03:42I did it

01:03:43myself!

01:03:43You're lying!

01:03:44You're all

01:03:45lying to me!

01:03:46Annie's stunned

01:03:47for a moment.

01:03:48She covers her

01:03:49mouth with both

01:03:49hands, her eyes

01:03:51glistening with

01:03:51tears, filling

01:03:52with joy and

01:03:53emotion.

01:03:54Yes!

01:03:55With all my

01:03:56heart, I'll be

01:03:58with you forever!

01:03:59I stand up and

01:04:00gently slip the

01:04:01ring onto her

01:04:02finger.

01:04:02The ring sparkles

01:04:04brightly in the

01:04:05sunlight, casting

01:04:06tiny, warm

01:04:07glints.

01:04:14Do you know

01:04:15how long I've

01:04:15waited for this

01:04:16moment?

01:04:17I won't make

01:04:18you wait any

01:04:19longer.

01:04:19Annie holds

01:04:20me tight, tears

01:04:21in her eyes, and

01:04:22nods firmly.

01:04:23I gently pat her

01:04:24back.

01:04:25Then, a sharp

01:04:26voice shatters

01:04:27the peace.

01:04:28John!

01:04:28I turn around.

01:04:30Eva and Amy

01:04:31stand not far

01:04:32away, their eyes

01:04:33fixing on me.

01:04:35Instinctively, I

01:04:36step in front of

01:04:37Annie to

01:04:37protect her.

01:04:39What are you

01:04:39doing here?

01:04:41In the winter

01:04:41park, sunlight

01:04:43filters through

01:04:44the bare branches,

01:04:45casting dappling

01:04:46shadows on the

01:04:47ground.

01:04:48Annie and I

01:04:49walk side by

01:04:50side, just

01:04:51like 20 years

01:04:52ago.

01:04:53Annie points

01:04:54at a tree not

01:04:55far away.

01:04:55Look, that's

01:04:56where we first

01:04:57met.

01:04:58Do you remember?

01:04:59She looks at

01:05:00me with light

01:05:01in her eyes.

01:05:02I smile and

01:05:03point to the

01:05:03same spot.

01:05:04Of course, there

01:05:06was a tree.

01:05:07I was sitting

01:05:08under it, reading

01:05:09a book.

01:05:09Then you ran

01:05:10over and asked

01:05:11me what I was

01:05:11reading.

01:05:11You scared the

01:05:12hell out of me.

01:05:13We walk in

01:05:14silence, smiles

01:05:15on our faces.

01:05:16Those memories,

01:05:17buried by time,

01:05:18have come back

01:05:19to life, like

01:05:20spring grass

01:05:21pushing through

01:05:22the dirt.

01:05:23Annie, it's

01:05:23cold.

01:05:24You're not

01:05:24wearing enough.

01:05:25Be careful not

01:05:26to catch a

01:05:27cold.

01:05:27I take off my

01:05:28scarf and wrap

01:05:29it around Annie's

01:05:30neck.

01:05:31The scarf had

01:05:32warmth from my

01:05:33body heat.

01:05:34I smile and

01:05:35gently put my

01:05:36hand on her

01:05:36shoulder.

01:05:43Annie, do you

01:05:44remember I

01:05:44promised you an

01:05:45answer after the

01:05:46meeting?

01:05:47I remember.

01:05:51I stop walking

01:05:52and take a deep

01:05:53breath.

01:05:53Then, I go down

01:05:55on one knee.

01:05:56I take out a

01:05:57ring box from my

01:05:58pocket and open

01:05:59it, eyes sincere.

01:06:01Annie, will you

01:06:02marry me?

01:06:02Will you stand

01:06:03by my side and

01:06:04spend the rest of

01:06:05our lives together?

01:06:06Eva and Amy walk

01:06:07toward me.

01:06:08I stand in front

01:06:09of Annie, refusing

01:06:11to let that woman

01:06:11disturb my life any

01:06:13further.

01:06:14We need to talk.

01:06:16Should I step

01:06:17aside?

01:06:18No.

01:06:18Just say what you

01:06:19have to say.

01:06:20We still have

01:06:20things to do.

01:06:21I stare at her

01:06:22coldly.

01:06:22Amy stands right

01:06:24beside her, with

01:06:25the same heartbroken

01:06:26look.

01:06:26Since when did

01:06:27people like them

01:06:28have hearts that

01:06:29would hurt?

01:06:36John, I'm

01:06:36sorry.

01:06:38I was wrong.

01:06:39Please.

01:06:41Come home

01:06:42with me.

01:06:43She reaches

01:06:44for my hand.

01:06:45The same hand

01:06:46that slapped me.

01:06:47The same hand

01:06:48that threw away

01:06:49my mother's

01:06:49pocket watch.

01:06:50I yank my hand

01:06:52away from hers.

01:06:53Eva looks stunned,

01:06:54as if she were

01:06:55the one who

01:06:56had been wronged.

01:06:57Eva, we're

01:06:58already divorced.

01:06:59We're done.

01:07:04Please.

01:07:05Please.

01:07:05I'm begging you.

01:07:06I regret it.

01:07:08I never wanted

01:07:09a divorce.

01:07:11Please.

01:07:12Let's remarry now.

01:07:14Annie looks at me

01:07:15nervously.

01:07:16My heart was

01:07:17churning, but my

01:07:18face showed nothing.

01:07:19I don't care why

01:07:20you changed your

01:07:21mind.

01:07:22You chose the

01:07:22divorce.

01:07:23You broke your

01:07:24vows.

01:07:25There's nothing

01:07:26left between us.

01:07:27I turn my head

01:07:28slowly and look at

01:07:29Annie.

01:07:30In her eyes, I

01:07:32could see unease,

01:07:33hope, and trust.

01:07:35I call her softly

01:07:36and gently pull her

01:07:38into my arms,

01:07:39embracing her with

01:07:40all my tenderness.

01:07:41Now, I only care

01:07:43about Annie.

01:07:44As for you, I'm

01:07:45completely done.

01:07:47Don't ever come

01:07:48near us again.

01:07:52I walk straight past

01:07:53Eva with Annie in my

01:07:55arms, never looking

01:07:56back.

01:07:57Not even once.

01:07:58Each step fills with

01:08:00unwavering resolve.

01:08:02Annie glances at her

01:08:03softly.

01:08:04There was no smugness

01:08:05in that look, only

01:08:06pity.

01:08:07From behind us,

01:08:08Eva's cries drift over,

01:08:10clear and heavy.

01:08:15The next day, I am

01:08:17working in my office

01:08:18when a noisy

01:08:19commotion drifts up

01:08:21from downstairs.

01:08:24I stand by the

01:08:25window and pull back

01:08:26the curtain.

01:08:27Eva is kneeling on

01:08:29the street, holding up

01:08:30a sign that reads,

01:08:31John, I was wrong.

01:08:33Beside her, stand

01:08:34another sign.

01:08:35I just want us to

01:08:36remarry.

01:08:37Please forgive me.

01:08:38Annie, I'll wait for

01:08:38you right here, for

01:08:39the sake of our

01:08:40children.

01:08:41A crowd of passersby

01:08:43had gathered around

01:08:44her, pointing,

01:08:45whispering, and

01:08:46taking photos.

01:08:47Some feeling sympathy

01:08:48for her, others

01:08:50mocking her.

01:08:51I stand by the

01:08:52window, expressionless,

01:08:54and pull the

01:08:55curtain shut.

01:08:59Moments later, the

01:09:00office door creaks

01:09:02open.

01:09:02Annie walks in,

01:09:04holding a warm

01:09:05lunchbox.

01:09:06I hurry over to

01:09:07greet her.

01:09:07We sit down

01:09:08together to enjoy

01:09:09our lunch.

01:09:11In this world, some

01:09:12people will throw you

01:09:13away like trash, while

01:09:15others will treasure you

01:09:17like gold.

01:09:18Don't waste your

01:09:19heart on the wrong

01:09:20person.

01:09:21I slam the evidence

01:09:22down in front of her.

01:09:24Eva freezes for a

01:09:25second.

01:09:25The panic passes, then

01:09:27turns into anger.

01:09:28Are you some kind of

01:09:29creep, going through

01:09:30my stuff?

01:09:31Phil and I were

01:09:31discussing photography,

01:09:33that's all.

01:09:33Photography?

01:09:34Did she thought I'm

01:09:35an idiot?

01:09:36That's how you dress to

01:09:37discuss photography?

01:09:38For 20 years, I

01:09:39backed your career,

01:09:41gave you everything,

01:09:42and this is how you

01:09:43repay me?

01:09:44Cheating on me?

01:09:45Who is he?

01:09:46Tell me!

01:09:47Who the hell is that

01:09:48bastard?

01:09:48I grip her wrist, then

01:09:50the door opens.

01:09:51Alex and Amy stand in

01:09:53the doorway.

01:09:54My son and my daughter.

01:09:56I don't want this

01:09:57exploding in front of

01:09:58them.

01:09:58I let go of Eva and

01:10:00step back, but she

01:10:02refuses to back down.

01:10:03Phil cares about me.

01:10:05He understands and

01:10:06supports me.

01:10:07He's my soulmate, my

01:10:09best friend.

01:10:09My finger pointed her,

01:10:11shaking.

01:10:12Soulmate?

01:10:13Best friend?

01:10:14Then what have I been

01:10:15for 20 years?

01:10:16Your unpaid servant?

01:10:18Amy and Alex rush over

01:10:19and grab my arms.

01:10:21What are you doing?

01:10:21I look at them, and

01:10:23for a moment, hope

01:10:24rises.

01:10:25They'll take my side.

01:10:26They have to.

01:10:27I'm their father.

01:10:28Eva, look at your

01:10:30children.

01:10:30Can you swear in front of

01:10:32them that you and Phil

01:10:32are just friends?

01:10:33Eva looks away, unable

01:10:35to meet my eyes.

01:10:36Amy and Alex look down

01:10:38at the love letter that

01:10:39scattered across the

01:10:40floor.

01:10:41There should have been

01:10:42shock, rage,

01:10:44something, but all I

01:10:45saw was guilt.

01:10:46Dad, you've got it

01:10:48wrong.

01:10:48Mom and Phil are

01:10:49friends.

01:10:50What, a woman can't

01:10:51have a guy best friend

01:10:52now?

01:10:52Yeah, Dad.

01:10:53Uncle Phil's just

01:10:54Mom's CFO.

01:10:55The truth is, he's the

01:10:56one who got me my job.

01:10:57I stare at their faces

01:10:59like it was no big

01:11:00deal.

01:11:01They knew.

01:11:02They all knew.

01:11:03And they hid it from

01:11:04their father.

01:11:05I jabbed a finger into

01:11:06my chest.

01:11:07I'm your father!

01:11:08Why are you taking

01:11:09his side?

01:11:10No!

01:11:11Dad, that's not

01:11:12what I...

01:11:12Eva!

01:11:12Everyone turns.

01:11:14Phil stands in the

01:11:15entryway, holding

01:11:17three elegant gift

01:11:18bags, wearing that

01:11:19perfect smile like he

01:11:21belongs here.

01:11:22You left your clothes

01:11:23at my place.

01:11:24He lifts the bags

01:11:25casually, like he was

01:11:26mentioning nothing at

01:11:27all.
