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 smile, 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.
00:01:38While I was thinking, the door opened. Eva's home. I took her bag, knelt like I always did.
00:01:44What 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.
00:02:06Go 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. It was thunderstruck.
00:02:35Every 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 what the hell this is.
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.
00:03:28How would an ordinary sales manager ever make it to 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,
00:04:12I promise I'll never come around again.
00:04:13Alex opens his box, a brand new car key.
00:04:18His eyes light up as he looks at Phil in awe.
00:04:21Amy opens hers, a designer handbag.
00:04:24She screams and hugs it to her chest.
00:04:26Eva opens the last gift, a Harry Winston necklace.
00:04:30She gasps, holding it like it's priceless.
00:04:34I stand there watching, their 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, and 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, and I watch my own children beg the man destroying my family to stay.
00:05:24Wait, he'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.
00:05:48Alex 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?
00:06:46Dad, 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 and I really are just friends.
00:07:03I only wanted to make her happy.
00:07:04If any of this crossed the line, I'll stay out of your business.
00:07:07He 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.
00:07:20Then, 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 slapped me for another name.
00:07:34After they threw me out, I 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 and this is what you get back?
00:07:53A bunch of ungrateful leeches!
00:07:55Mia's right.
00:07:56Eva became sales manager because I had a headhunter recruit her.
00:08:01Alex got his interview because I made it happen.
00:08:04I gave them everything and got this in return.
00:08:07Mia'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, she'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 because I stayed with Eva.
00:08:30The biggest regret of my life.
00:08:32My mother was dying and I didn't even know it.
00:08:35When she called me, I was tending to Eva.
00:08:38Mom was already fading.
00:08:39Her voice was weak and I was too blind to hear it.
00:08:42Mom.
00:08:43John.
00:08:44What's wrong?
00:08:45Nothing baby.
00:08:46I just wanted to hear your voice.
00:08:48Then Eva coughed a few times.
00:08:51And 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, asking if she was hurting, if she needed a doctor.
00:09:01Later I learned that was the last time I 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.
00:09:19Eyes still red.
00:09:21And gives one hard nod.
00:09:23And just as I make up my mind to take everything back, something else is happening in that house.
00:09:29The kitchen sink is clogged.
00:09:31Phil has been wrestling with it forever.
00:09:33Okay, so that's not good.
00:09:35Clearly, he'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.
00:09:41I'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 case.
00:09:54Water went everywhere.
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, all the years I put into this go up in smoke!
00:10:13I gave up everything for them.
00:10:16And now, for 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, let her go.
00:10:35I look at these two children,
00:10:36standing before me like strangers.
00:10:39Are these really the same kids who once said,
00:10:42Dad, I'll take care of you.
00:10:44Six years ago, in the summer,
00:10:46I 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.
00:11:06I 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.
00:11:14But 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.
00:11:26Then 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.
00:11:38I 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.
00:12:12Shut 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!
00:12:22You're not my father anymore.
00:12:24Not ever again.
00:12:25I'm divorcing you.
00:12:26Then I see Phil,
00:12:28standing behind the three of them,
00:12:30smiling, satisfying.
00:12:32The door starts to close.
00:12:33The warm light disappears.
00:12:36And on my face,
00:12:37I 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.
00:12:50And on Christmas,
00:12:52I 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,
00:13:02you 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.
00:13:13Caller,
00:13:14ID Phil.
00:13:15We look at each other and smirk.
00:13:16She puts him on the speaker.
00:13:17Hello,
00:13:18Director 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.
00:13:25Eva 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 Ava.
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.
00:14:08Co-workers crowd around her with congratulations.
00:14:11Eva,
00:14:12heard they're announcing your promotion to COO tonight.
00:14:15Congratulations.
00:14:15Eva,
00:14:17looks like you're about to be our boss.
00:14:20Don't forget us
00:14:21when 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.
00:14:33They're right.
00:14:34A 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 stand beside the cars with Mia,
00:14:47waiting for me.
00:14:48My brother will be out any second.
00:14:50Everyone,
00:14:51be ready.
00:14:52Yes ma'am.
00:14:53I step out the front door,
00:14:55one step at a time,
00:14:56under security escort.
00:14:58I slid into the backseat of a Maybach.
00:15:01The motorcade starts moving,
00:15:03rolling into the city.
00:15:0420 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,
00:15:17the 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 the promotion letters
00:15:27to everyone getting promoted.
00:15:29Wow,
00:15:30that's the highest honor there is.
00:15:32He's not just our chairman,
00:15:33he'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 to 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,
00:15:57I 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,
00:16:07bowing 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 of your life?
00:16:21John's never seen anything like this.
00:16:23You should have brought that loser to open his eyes.
00:16:25A guy like him wouldn't know what 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.
00:16:33That old loser
00:16:34doesn't belong anywhere near the spotlight.
00:16:37The CEO is here.
00:16:39The doors swing open.
00:16:41A spotlight hits me.
00:16:43And I look at those four clowns.
00:16:45The same people trashing me one second ago.
00:16:47Now 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.
00:16:58I 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 Q-Tour.
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 everyone'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 living off me.
00:17:29I was married to him for years.
00:17:31I know exactly what he is.
00:17:32She 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 is gonna make me believe you?
00:17:42In 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 to 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 whatever family we have left?
00:18:06Here's a tip.
00:18:08Ten minutes.
00:18:09The COO and CEO are about to present the appointment certificate to my mom.
00:18:14I let out a cold laugh.
00:18:16We'll see who's presenting the certificate to who.
00:18:19Eva pulls out a stack of papers and slams them against my chest.
00:18:23Divorce papers.
00:18:25Sign them.
00:18:26Then get the hell out.
00:18:28Once I'm COO, you're nothing to me.
00:18:31You're not even fit to shine my shoes.
00:18:33I flip through it, line by line.
00:18:36Heh.
00:18:36Even the asset's split's done.
00:18:38I walk away with nothing.
00:18:40She cheated first.
00:18:41And she makes it look like somehow, she's the victim.
00:18:45You haven't made a dime all these years.
00:18:47You've been living off me.
00:18:49They still don't get it.
00:18:51Everything they have, I gave them.
00:18:53Without me, they're nothing.
00:18:55I look at them and smile, my heart in bitter.
00:18:58Fine.
00:18:58If that's what they want, I 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, I thought he had finally come to his senses.
00:19:12But I'm wrong.
00:19:13He frowns, looking at me like I'm garbage.
00:19:15Then shoves another document right 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 don't a loser like you for a dad.
00:19:24Sign it, and we're done.
00:19:27I take it, and look down.
00:19:29Agreement to end father-son relationship.
00:19:32My fingers start to shake.
00:19:34Alex Morgan.
00:19:35John Morgan.
00:19:36My own son, cutting me off.
00:19:38From now on, we take Phil's name.
00:19:40I'm Alex Frye.
00:19:42My sister's Amy Frye.
00:19:44Sign it.
00:19:45Now.
00:19:47From today on, I'm Amy Frye.
00:19:49Sounds way better than Amy Morgan.
00:19:52Eva stands there.
00:19:53Arms crossed.
00:19:55Smirking.
00:19:55The 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.
00:20:08That's a bit much.
00:20:10You really are gonna humiliate your own father like this?
00:20:13John, you've been a pretty lousy father.
00:20:16Just look, your 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 raise them myself and turn them into monsters.
00:20:25Eva watches coldly.
00:20:27Arms folded.
00:20:28Waiting for me to sign so she can toss me out like trash.
00:20:32My pen hits the paper.
00:20:34Stroke by stroke, I sign my name.
00:20:36I fling the sign papers at Alex.
00:20:39They scatter across the floor as he scrambles to pick them up.
00:20:43Eva.
00:20:44Amy.
00:20:45Alex.
00:20:46You just killed whatever love I had left for you.
00:20:49My mom's about to be COO.
00:20:52Without her, you won't even be able to feed yourself.
00:20:55Congrats, mom.
00:20:56Looks like you and Uncle Phil are finally getting their happy ending.
00:20:59Mom, once you're COO, I basically run this place.
00:21:03I wipe the tears from my eyes and 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 that's a promotion and not a termination?
00:21:16I look at Eva, still so full of herself.
00:21:20She really thinks she's won.
00:21:21She really thinks that COO's seat is hers.
00:21:29And what makes you think that's a promotion and not a termination?
00:21:35I hold Eva's promotion letter and tell Mia I'm pulling her promotion.
00:21:40Eva and Alex are out and I'll make sure no one in this industry ever 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?
00:22:11It's to celebrate my mom's promotion.
00:22:14Fired.
00:22:15Yeah, right.
00:22:18John, after the divorce, I hope you can at least take care of yourself.
00:22:22Living 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.
00:22:29Every 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 and walk forward.
00:22:39Steady.
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 and stare everyone down.
00:22:52That chair was mine 20 years ago.
00:22:54I'm just taking my seat back.
00:22:56Eva.
00:22:56He's your ex-husband.
00:22:58If he pulls something and pisses off the higher-ups,
00:23:01your promotion's done.
00:23:02He'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 and shoves me down.
00:23:09The chair crashes to the floor with 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 without an invite just to make a scene?
00:23:26Get out!
00:23:27Now!
00:23:28She raises her hand to hit me.
00:23:31The same hand that 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 because 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 and Phil catches her without thinking.
00:24:00Nice teamwork.
00:24:03John!
00:24:04Do you even know what that chair is?
00:24:06That's the CEO's seat!
00:24:08You're going to get us all screwed!
00:24:11That seat is always mine.
00:24:14I pick up the chair Eva knocked over and set it back in place.
00:24:18What's the problem with me sitting here?
00:24:20This was my seat to begin with.
00:24:21I sit down in the CEO's chair.
00:24:2320 years.
00:24:24And it finally has its owner back.
00:24:28John!
00:24:30John, you've lost your mind!
00:24:33You've completely lost it!
00:24:35Eva tries to rush me, but Phil holds her back.
00:24:38What's he afraid of?
00:24:39Her getting hit again, or things getting out of hand.
00:24:42Listen, the billionaire CEO and the CO 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, but I don't move an inch.
00:24:50I just sit there while they keep screaming.
00:24:53John, you're going to cost Eva everything!
00:24:57Mom!
00:24:58If he keeps this up, I'm screwed!
00:25:03Get up!
00:25:05If you ruin my promotion, I swear I won't let this go!
00:25:10bother responding.
00:25:11Then, the ballroom doors burst open, as security steps aside as a man in his 50s storms in,
00:25:18full of authority.
00:25:19I know him, Gilbert Newman, Phil's uncle.
00:25:23One of the top guys at Nexus.
00:25:24Everyone turns.
00:25:26Phil'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, as he rushes over.
00:25:35What's all this noise?
00:25:36The CEO and COO will be here any minute!
00:25:39Uncle, Gilbert.
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!
00:26:03Gilbert stops right in front of me, eyes wide.
00:26:07I just sit there, smirking.
00:26:09Mr. Newman.
00:26:10If I were you, I'd think very carefully before making your next move.
00:26:14Gilbert meets my eyes.
00:26:15For a second, I see hesitation.
00:26:17A nobody like him has never met the real CEO.
00:26:21He doesn't know what to make of me.
00:26:23Uncle Gilbert, don't let him bluff you.
00:26:26He's just Eva's deadbeat ex-husband.
00:26:28He came here to sabotage her promotion.
00:26:30Dodd Phil grins.
00:26:32Fawning like a dog begging for scraps.
00:26:35Mr. Newman, please 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.
00:26:40Drag this old fool out!
00:26:42The security guards close in, smirking.
00:26:45I frown, not out of fear, out of rage, dot 20 years.
00:26:49And now even some nobody who came in after me thinks he can walk all over me.
00:26:53I thought one look at me would make him panic and start apologizing.
00:26:57Instead, he doesn't even recognize me.
00:26:59You've got some nerve sitting in the CEO's chair.
00:27:02Get the hell up right now while I'm being nice.
00:27:04Unless you want trouble.
00:27:06John, cut the act.
00:27:08Mr. Newman's a company veteran.
00:27:09I almost forgot this.
00:27:11Nobody joined after I left the company.
00:27:14He's been with the company longer than I have.
00:27:17Who the hell are you?
00:27:18You really think Mr. Newman would even look twice at you?
00:27:22You pathetic old loser.
00:27:24Stop running your mouth.
00:27:25You're only making yourself look worse.
00:27:27Just get out!
00:27:28Mr. Newman, that's my useless father.
00:27:31He lives in his own fantasy and actually thinks he's the CEO who vanished 20 years ago.
00:27:36The guards circle around me, but I don't back down.
00:27:39My calm is starting to rattle them.
00:27:41Want to know if I'm really the CEO?
00:27:43Call your CON, Mia Morgan.
00:27:44She can clear it up right now.
00:27:46Who the hell are you to order me to call the COO?
00:27:48She already said tonight is the CEO's homecoming party.
00:27:53You better get out now, or I'll beat your ass first and throw you out myself.
00:27:59John, stop clinging to my mom like some parasite.
00:28:03You're after her money and you just won't go away.
00:28:06We signed the divorce papers.
00:28:07Let's just end this and move on.
00:28:09Stop bothering me, okay?
00:28:10Bothering her?
00:28:10I let out a cold laugh.
00:28:12Just looking at her makes me sick.
00:28:14This company is mine.
00:28:16They're the ones who should be thrown out.
00:28:18Security!
00:28:18Get them out of here!
00:28:19The guards rush me and drag me out of the chair.
00:28:22I fight back, but there are too many of them in this struggle.
00:28:26A pocket watch slips from my suit and hits the floor.
00:28:29My mother's pocket watch.
00:28:31The last thing she left me.
00:28:33I lunge for it, but Eva gets there first.
00:28:35I yell at her to give it back.
00:28:37But Eva looks at the watch and lets out a mocking laugh.
00:28:41So this is the watch your old hag of a mother left you?
00:28:44Disgusting!
00:28:45She crouches and dangles it in front of me, like teasing a dog dot.
00:28:49Two guards pin my arms down while I struggle to reach it.
00:28:53But Eva pulls it back, laughing like a maniac.
00:28:56I'm shaking with rage.
00:28:58I didn't even make it to see my mother before she died.
00:29:00And now the last thing she left me is being ruined by this woman.
00:29:04Where'd all that backbone go?
00:29:05Want it back?
00:29:06Fine.
00:29:07Neil, slap yourself a hundred times.
00:29:10Admit you were wrong.
00:29:12And maybe I'll give it back.
00:29:13She sneers.
00:29:14There's nothing in her eyes but cruelty.
00:29:17Neil?
00:29:17Slap myself?
00:29:18What does she think I am?
00:29:20But the watch keeps swinging in her hand.
00:29:22It's the last thing my mother left me.
00:29:24Phil smirks.
00:29:25Alex stands with his hands in his pockets.
00:29:28Amy throws me a look of contempt.
00:29:30No one says a word for me.
00:29:32They're all enjoying the showed slowly.
00:29:34I sink to my knees.
00:29:35Both knees slam against the marble floor.
00:29:38Pain shoots through me.
00:29:40John, after all these years you haven't changed a bit.
00:29:43Still so quick to kneel.
00:29:45Pathetic.
00:29:46Like some dog begging for scraps.
00:29:49I'd beg her to give me the watch back.
00:29:51She has no intention of letting me have it.
00:29:54She throws the watch.
00:29:56I scream in despair.
00:29:57It spins through the air like a Medeer.
00:29:59And shatters in two.
00:30:00I threw myself toward the broken pocket watch.
00:30:03My shaking hands clutch the two halves.
00:30:05One side the photo.
00:30:07One side the dial.
00:30:08I try like a madman to piece it back together.
00:30:10It won't go back together.
00:30:12Broken like my heart.
00:30:13Phil picks up a bottle and walks toward me.
00:30:15The bottle explodes over my head.
00:30:17Glass flies.
00:30:18Blood pours down my face.
00:30:20A ringing fills my ears like a funeral bell.
00:30:23Before blacking out, I 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 someone else's tragedy.
00:30:31I close my eyes.
00:30:32Mom, I'm coming to find you.
00:30:34The doors slam open.
00:30:36Mia storms in.
00:30:37Furious.
00:30:37She swings the pocket watch in front of me.
00:30:40Leaning in.
00:30:41Daring me with her eyes.
00:30:43She loves having me under her heel.
00:30:45What?
00:30:45You won't do it?
00:30:47Then I'll throw it away.
00:30:48Every time I see that old hag, she makes my blood boil.
00:30:53She raises her arm to throw the watch.
00:30:55The last thing my mother left me.
00:30:57I was young then.
00:30:58My mother was still alive.
00:31:00I stood close beside her, posing for the camera.
00:31:03The shutter caught our smiles.
00:31:04I opened the old watch.
00:31:06Inside is the photo we just took.
00:31:08When I'm not with you, keep this watch close to your heart.
00:31:12Think of it as your mother staying beside you.
00:31:15Mom, I'm sorry.
00:31:16I couldn't protect what you left me.
00:31:18Fine.
00:31:21I'll kneel.
00:31:22The moment the door bursts open, Mia sees me lying in a pool of blood.
00:31:26Her eyes turn red instantly.
00:31:28A crowd gathers around, whispering among themselves.
00:31:31Mia helps me up, her fingers trembling violently.
00:31:34You're my only brother.
00:31:37I will never let anyone hurt you.
00:31:39What?
00:31:40Her brother.
00:31:41Brother?
00:31:42Since when did she have a brother?
00:31:43Mia gently brushes my forehead.
00:31:45Her 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 and help me into a nearby chair.
00:31:56Mia clench her fists, stands up, and stares fiercely at everyone.
00:32:00Who did this?
00:32:02Miss Morgan.
00:32:03We were wrong to hit him, but he started it.
00:32:06He impersonated the CEO, crashed the annual gala, and sat in the CEO's chair.
00:32:10We were defending the CEO's dignity.
00:32:12Mia said nothing.
00:32:13She raises her hand and slaps Phil hard across the face.
00:32:17The slap echoed through the entire hall.
00:32:20Eva catches the staggering Phil.
00:32:22What the hell are 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 and slaps Gilbert again across the face.
00:32:39Gilbert's head snapped to the side.
00:32:41He covers his cheek and doesn't dare to make a sound.
00:32:44You idiot!
00:32:45Do you have any idea who he is?
00:32:48Isn't he just a piece of trash?
00:32:49For God's sake.
00:32:51Mia hears him muttering.
00:32:53She turns and slaps him again.
00:32:55Watch your mouth!
00:32:57Why?
00:32:59You hit me again?
00:33:00Miss Morgan.
00:33:01That man is nothing but a parasite.
00:33:04What else am I supposed to call him?
00:33:06Quite right, Miss Morgan.
00:33:08Mia's fury erupts completely.
00:33:11Her eyes blaze as if spitting fire.
00:33:13You venomous woman!
00:33:14And you two ungrateful little beasts!
00:33:17You're lower than dirt!
00:33:20You've bullied him for twenty years.
00:33:22Today I'm gonna make you pay for every bit of it!
00:33:25Guards!
00:33:25Surround them!
00:33:26Five guards step forward and surrounds Eva and the others.
00:33:30Eva's expression finally changes.
00:33:33What is all of this?
00:33:35Mia, stop!
00:33:36I regain consciousness and stride toward them.
00:33:39Blood still streams down my forehead.
00:33:41But I had never been so clear-headed in my life.
00:33:45Eva stares at me in shock.
00:33:46She probably never imagined that the worthless trash she has trampled underfoot
00:33:51would ever be called brother by the CO.
00:33:55Mia, stop.
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.
00:34:06I pat Mia's shoulder reassuringly.
00:34:08Her eyes turns red, just like when she was a little girl who had been wronged.
00:34:12Except this time, it was me.
00:34:14Mia reaches out and examines the wound on my forehead with concern.
00:34:18Her actions made others jump to all sorts of malicious conclusions
00:34:21about the relationship between her and me.
00:34:24Why is dad so close to Miss Morgan?
00:34:26I'm wondering too.
00:34:28Why did Miss Morgan hit Uncle Phil for that loser?
00:34:30What's really between them?
00:34:32If Miss Morgan values him this much,
00:34:35maybe he really is someone important we shouldn't mess with?
00:34:39Shit.
00:34:40I messed with the wrong person.
00:34:43Looks like John and the COO have something special going on.
00:34:46Miss Morgan,
00:34:49what exactly is your relationship with my good-for-nothing ex-husband?
00:34:56That's none of your damn business.
00:34:58I swear, today,
00:35:00every single one of you who hurt him
00:35:02is going to pay.
00:35:04Phil, Gilgret, and Eva's expressions grew complicated.
00:35:08Fear began to creep across their faces.
00:35:11Phil, you tell me right now,
00:35:12who the hell did you just beat up?
00:35:14He's just Eva's pathetic ex-husband.
00:35:16Who else would he be?
00:35:18Gilbert slaps Phil across the face.
00:35:20This lap is even harder than Mia's.
00:35:23A pathetic ex-husband?
00:35:25Then why the hell is the COO getting involved?
00:35:28And how did this so-called nobody even get into the gala in the first place?
00:35:33Phil clutches his face, stunned.
00:35:36He finally realizes something was terribly wrong.
00:35:38Mia hands the broken pocket watch back to me.
00:35:42Brother, this watch is over ten years old.
00:35:44I'm afraid it can never be put back together.
00:35:47I gaze at the photo inside the watch of my mother and me.
00:35:50Mom, are you watching from above?
00:35:52Watching your son get bullied by these scumbags?
00:35:55What do you want to do with them?
00:35:56I lift my head and glare at Eva, furiously.
00:36:00She shook with terror.
00:36:02Phil, Alex, and Amy try to stand calm and firm.
00:36:06But their gazes shift restlessly.
00:36:09They were finally afraid.
00:36:11Too late.
00:36:11I clenched the broken pocket watch.
00:36:13This shattered watch was the last thing my mother left me.
00:36:16She shouldn't have touched it.
00:36:18Eva, there's one thing you never should have done.
00:36:22Smash my mother's last keepsake to me.
00:36:25It's just a piece of junk.
00:36:27What, you want to hit my mom or something?
00:36:29You've given them everything and this is how they pay you?
00:36:32Do you think they even deserve all of this?
00:36:34Suddenly, Phil points at me and Mia like he'd just discovered a new world.
00:36:38I get it now!
00:36:40Mia's been protecting you this whole time!
00:36:42No wonder you got into the gala so easily!
00:36:46You and Mia.
00:36:49You two have been having an affair this whole time, haven't you?
00:36:54Nice one, John.
00:36:56You accuse me of cheating?
00:36:57You're the one who's been cheating this whole time!
00:37:01You old bastard.
00:37:03I thought you were decent.
00:37:06You betrayed my mom!
00:37:08My face turns even colder.
00:37:10They're such experts at twisting the truth.
00:37:12When you divorced mom, you acted like the victim.
00:37:16Turns out you'd already been sleeping with this woman.
00:37:18How disgusting.
00:37:20Do you really think there is something going on between Mia and that man?
00:37:25Hard to say.
00:37:26Otherwise, why would Mia stand up for him?
00:37:29Buoyed by the voices agreeing with her, Eva grew increasingly arrogant.
00:37:34She approaches Mia, speaking in a bitterly sarcastic tone.
00:37:38Mia, so you like picking up the trash I've already played with?
00:37:41This is the kind of man you go for?
00:37:43No wonder you're still single in your thirties.
00:37:46Who knows how many younger men you're keeping on the side?
00:37:48You really think no one knows about all the dirty little secrets you've got going on behind the scenes?
00:37:53She doesn't get to finish her sentence.
00:37:55I give her a sharp, brutal slap.
00:37:58That single blow held all the resentment I'd bottled up for twenty years.
00:38:02Amy and Alex are utterly dumbfounded, their mouths hanging agape.
00:38:07Phil hurries to steady the staggering Eva.
00:38:10I stand before them, cold and unyielding, motionless, like a stone statue.
00:38:15Eva covers her cheek, staring at me in utter disbelief.
00:38:19She had never once thought the docile, submissive nobody would dare to lay a hand on her.
00:38:25This slap was not for me.
00:38:27It was for my mother and for Mia.
00:38:29Six bodyguards in black suits storms in, looking fierce and ready for action.
00:38:35But Eva doesn't panic.
00:38:36Instead, she holds her head high.
00:38:38Don't you dare.
00:38:40The CEO is giving me my well-deserved promotion at the annual gala.
00:38:45If you throw me out and he can't reach me, do you think you can handle the consequences?
00:38:51That's right.
00:38:52Mom becoming COO was the CEO's decision.
00:38:57Once she gets this position, you'll all be screwed.
00:39:01I'm glad you reminded me.
00:39:03I almost forgot about this.
00:39:05Mia and I exchange look.
00:39:07We both knew Eva wasn't getting any promotion letter today, at all.
00:39:11Mia holds out her hand.
00:39:13An assistant promptly hands her a red leather folder.
00:39:16The CEO does indeed have something he needs me to hand to you personally.
00:39:21Mom, this is wonderful!
00:39:23Congratulations!
00:39:24After all these years, your dream has finally come true.
00:39:28Eva tries hard to suppress the smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
00:39:33She thinks she is winning.
00:39:34Mom, in Struggle Home's Mission, once you become COO, don't forget the house you promised
00:39:42me.
00:39:42Mia hands the red folder to Eva, like handing over a knife.
00:39:47Quick, Eva.
00:39:48Open it.
00:39:48Open it now.
00:39:50Smiling, Eva opens the red folder.
00:39:52I smirk.
00:39:53Alex and Amy lean in, faces full of anticipation.
00:39:56Then, their smiles froze.
00:39:58How is this possible?
00:40:03The termination notice!
00:40:06Eva covers her face, utterly dumbfounded.
00:40:09She never thought she would ever take a slap from me.
00:40:12Never.
00:40:12But I've wanted to slap her for way too long.
00:40:16John!
00:40:17How dare you hit me!
00:40:19Just because of your little mistress!
00:40:21Shut your mouth up!
00:40:23He's my sister.
00:40:25I won't you slander her like that.
00:40:27I've known you for over 20 years, and I've never heard a single word about you having a
00:40:32sister.
00:40:33And you call me a cheater.
00:40:35Turns out you hooked yourself a rich woman, huh?
00:40:38The divorce worked out perfectly for you, didn't it?
00:40:42Mom, you were blind to even fall for him.
00:40:45This is absolutely ridiculous.
00:40:49Guards, throw them out!
00:40:50Phil's eyes shift slyly, putting on yet another pitiful performance.
00:40:55He won't see us?
00:40:56This is all you're doing!
00:40:58I get it now, Miss Morgan.
00:41:00You were afraid Eva becoming COO would threaten your position.
00:41:04so you spread rumors.
00:41:06You and John doctored the letter together.
00:41:11I'm going to report this to the CEO.
00:41:14I'll make every single one of them pay!
00:41:16Mia looks at them coldly, like she was watching a bunch of clowns.
00:41:20Eva, Phil, Gilbert, you assaulted a guest.
00:41:25That's it.
00:41:26You're all fired.
00:41:28Gilbert's jaw drops in utter disbelief.
00:41:30How dare you!
00:41:31I want to see the CEO!
00:41:33I'm reporting you for abuse of power!
00:41:35Enough.
00:41:37Throw them out.
00:41:38The guards swum forward, dragging them out.
00:41:41Eva struggles and screams, her voice echoing sharply throughout the ballroom.
00:41:45Even as she was being escorted out, she kept howling like 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 in the center of the ballroom, watching them being driven out.
00:42:02The moment the doors close, the world finally falls quiet.
00:42:05Brother, do you think they're going to let this go?
00:42:07I look at the closed doors, a cold smile curling at the corner of my lips.
00:42:12I shake my head, let them do whatever they want.
00:42:15They're just a bunch of clowns.
00:42:1720 years of bond between us has ended completely.
00:42:20From this day forth, we are strangers.
00:42:23Eva stands there, holding the termination notice.
00:42:26Frozen stiff, as if struck by lightning.
00:42:29No way! This can't be true!
00:42:34John! You're behind all of this!
00:42:37Miss Morgan, let's be fair here.
00:42:39Eva has worked her ass off for over a decade.
00:42:43What possible reason does the CEO have to fire her?
00:42:46John, are you doing this just to get back at my mom?
00:42:48I sneer. Revenge?
00:42:50She did this to herself.
00:42:51Suddenly, Eva bursts out laughing, like she'd lost her mind.
00:42:55The laughter echoes through the ballroom, sending chills down everyone's spine.
00:42:59She throws the termination notice to the ground, seething with rage, and strides toward me.
00:43:04This can't be true! The CEO was supposed to promote me!
00:43:08Where is the CEO? I need to see him!
00:43:11He doesn't want to see you.
00:43:13Three days later, I push open the door of the coffee shop.
00:43:17Sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
00:43:20Falling upon a woman sitting alone, I slow my steps, staring at her back.
00:43:25It was a silhouette I know all too well.
00:43:27She turns and stands up, smiling.
00:43:30Though she's 40 now, but when she smiles, she looks 20 again.
00:43:35John.
00:43:36Annie.
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, she has changed.
00:43:53She's even better.
00:43:56I was concentrating on my wood carving.
00:43:59Wood shavings curled off beneath my fingers.
00:44:02These hands had cooked for Eva for 20 years.
00:44:06Now they finally get to do something for me.
00:44:09Mia enters the room, holding an invitation.
00:44:13John, now that you're back as CEO, you really should attend the meeting three days from now.
00:44:19I nod and tell her I got it.
00:44:21Mia didn't leave.
00:44:22She stands quietly behind me, hesitant to speak her mind.
00:44:27John, you've thrown yourself headfirst into work.
00:44:30You don't go to any of the events I set up for you?
00:44:33Are you still hung up on Eva?
00:44:35She grabs my arm, her eyes full of concern.
00:44:40John, I've scheduled a dinner with that investor.
00:44:43She's stunning.
00:44:45Go meet her.
00:44:46Maybe she can help you forget about Eva.
00:44:48I put down my carving knife and sigh.
00:44:51Mia, I don't need that.
00:44:53She's coming to discuss business.
00:44:55A private meeting like that would 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, you'll regret it.
00:45:05I look up at Mia's mysterious smile, and nod dot, I trust Mia.
00:45:11She never lied to me.
00:45:12When I opened the book, a bookmark slipped out.
00:45:17Written on it was 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 that little girl who came to borrow books from me every day would grow
00:45:32into such an extraordinary woman.
00:45:35Annie blushes and smiles bashfully.
00:45:38At forty, she still smiles like the girl I remember.
00:45:42The real reason I went overseas all those years ago was to be someone worthy of you.
00:45:54I sit across from Annie.
00:45:56Warm sunlight falls across her face.
00:45:59Two decades feel like nothing but 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 like twenty years since we last saw each other.
00:46:13That year, we were both still young.
00:46:15She was wearing her school uniform.
00:46:17So was I.
00:46:18She came to return a book to me, just like always.
00:46:22John, I'm leaving for business school in Europe.
00:46:25I won't get to borrow your books anymore.
00:46:27Here, this belongs back to you.
00:46:31I took the book.
00:46:32It felt like a piece of my heart was missing.
00:46:35She handed me a small box of cookies.
00:46:39I wanted to give you something I made myself, so...
00:46:42I bake these cookies.
00:46:45Think of it as...
00:46:47a little goodbye gift.
00:46:52You're really going abroad to study?
00:46:54Yes.
00:46:55You're already the youngest billionaire in the city.
00:46:58I need to work hard to catch up.
00:47:00Only then maybe...
00:47:03I could finally...
00:47:05She never finished her sentence.
00:47:07Those words stayed unspoken for twenty years.
00:47:11Before she departed, she held me in a tight embrace.
00:47:15That hug was far warmer than any affection Eva had given me over twenty years.
00:47:21I watched her leave.
00:47:24Her silhouette fading farther and farther away.
00:47:28Annie looks at me.
00:47:30There was hope in her eyes and twenty years of waiting.
00:47:33Back then, you were the golden boy.
00:47:35So I went abroad trying to catch up to you to become someone worthy of standing by your side.
00:47:40But when I finally came back...
00:47:42You no longer belong to me.
00:47:45I was deeply moved.
00:47:47Those words hit me right in the chest.
00:47:49I had given everything in the first half of my life to Eva and the children.
00:47:54But I never knew...
00:47:55That someone had been quietly caring for me all these years.
00:47:59John, now that you're free...
00:48:02Maybe you could give us a chance?
00:48:04Annie gazes at me with deep affection.
00:48:07Her eyes were soft, but certain.
00:48:10So...
00:48:10What's your answer?
00:48:11I lowered my head and fall silent for a few seconds.
00:48:15Annie, I don't want to hold you back.
00:48:17I just got divorced.
00:48:18And I'm not ready to start a new relationship yet.
00:48:21That's okay.
00:48:23I've waited this long, haven't I?
00:48:25I can wait a little longer.
00:48:27Until you've really let 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 is right around the corner.
00:48:37If I said yes to you now, it would feel like I'm using you.
00:48:40That wouldn't be fair to you at all.
00:48:42After the meeting is over, I'll give you a real answer.
00:48:45Alright.
00:48:46Our company was already leaning toward your product anyway, so don't worry.
00:48:51I won't mix business with personal stuff.
00:48:54Since you've made a promise, I'll wait for your answer.
00:48:57Alright, I promise.
00:49:00We stand up to leave.
00:49:02Suddenly, Annie stumbles slightly as her high heel twists.
00:49:06She almost fell.
00:49:07I reach out quickly to steady her, catching her gently into my arms.
00:49:11Our eyes meet, and the air between us instantly fills with tension.
00:49:15And then, a sharp, nasty voice cut through the moment like a cold knife, shattering the warmth.
00:49:24Annie and I pull apart quickly.
00:49:26Flirting with another woman, in broad daylight?
00:49:29Eva walks over with Alex and Amy, a familiar sneer on her face that I knew all too well.
00:49:34Pathetic.
00:49:35A leopard never changes its spots.
00:49:38This woman just won't leave me alone.
00:49:40She can't even let me have a cup of coffee in peace.
00:49:43I didn't hesitate.
00:49:46Eva, what the hell do you want?
00:49:48What do I want?
00:49:49Look at you!
00:49:51One woman is not enough for you!
00:49:53You just cannot wait to jump into someone else's bed!
00:49:56Watch your mouth.
00:49:58Pathetic.
00:49:59At least your taste is consistent.
00:50:01You have latched onto another rich woman.
00:50:06Hey, beautiful.
00:50:07Why waste your time on this old guy?
00:50:10I am younger than him, stronger, and better than him in every single way.
00:50:20I slap Alex across the face hard.
00:50:24Eva catches him, stunned.
00:50:27You bastard.
00:50:29Apologize.
00:50:30Now!
00:50:31How dare you hit my son!
00:50:33You filthy bastard!
00:50:35You cheating bastard!
00:50:37You shameless moocher!
00:50:39I let out a mocking laugh.
00:50:41How ridiculous.
00:50:43I could throw every single one of those insults right back at her.
00:50:46I grab Annie's arm and try to leave.
00:50:49But Eva blocks our way like an unhinked maniac.
00:50:52She stares at Annie with nothing but venom in her eyes.
00:50:55You have no idea what kind of man you got involved with.
00:50:58This piece of trash.
00:51:00He lived off me for years.
00:51:03Then he sucked up to the company's COO.
00:51:06And now he's clinging to you for your money.
00:51:10If John were willing to let me support him, it's an honor for me.
00:51:15Eva freezes.
00:51:17Her face was full of disbelief.
00:51:19They probably never imagined anyone would ever say something like that.
00:51:24Eva, I am warning you for the last time.
00:51:27I destroyed your career once and I can do it again.
00:51:31Push me any further and I will make you disappear from this city completely.
00:51:43Go ahead and enjoy your little moment, John.
00:51:46Three days from now at the investor meeting, I will drag you down to hell.
00:51:51You will never get back up.
00:51:52I don't even bother looking back.
00:51:55Three days from now, we'll see who drags who to hell.
00:51:59The banquet hall packs with guests who mingle with wine glasses and hand laughter.
00:52:05And the clink of glasses fills the air.
00:52:07Eva stands at the center of the crowd, chatting confidently as if she had never been fired.
00:52:13The main door swings open.
00:52:16I walk in with one hand in my pocket, surrounded by bodyguards.
00:52:20Twenty years have passed, but I've never lost this presence.
00:52:25Eva kept his sight of me, her smile freezing on her face as if she'd been choked.
00:52:30She grabs Amy's arm, pointing in my direction, and strides over toward me.
00:52:34Well, well, look who is all alone.
00:52:36Where is your old fling and that wealthy lady who runs the coffee shop?
00:52:40How funny, not a single one of them is here.
00:52:43Maybe they both found out you've been playing both sides and dumped you?
00:52:47I sip my drink, waiting for the meeting to start.
00:52:50Not wanting to waste my time on a bunch of clowns.
00:52:56Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
00:52:59First, let me introduce tonight's representative of the Capitol side, Mr. Charles.
00:53:05The host gestures toward Charles, a man in his 40s.
00:53:09Annie's subordinate.
00:53:13Charles raises his glass politely.
00:53:16Thank you all for coming.
00:53:18Now, I officially declare the investment conference open.
00:53:23Wait!
00:53:24I have something to say!
00:53:26Charles pauses and sets down his glass.
00:53:30The entire hall falls silent.
00:53:32Her voice was sharp and piercing, like nails on a chalkboard.
00:53:37What was she going to say?
00:53:39Nothing more than her usual self-righteous slander and lies.
00:53:42Did she really think that would bring me down?
00:53:45Very well, ma'am.
00:53:47Please go ahead.
00:53:49What is it you'd like to say?
00:53:51Ladies and gentlemen, our purpose here today is simple.
00:53:55The major investor wants to enter the tech sector and find suitable partners.
00:53:59This is not just about capital or capability.
00:54:03The most important thing is character.
00:54:06It's not that obvious.
00:54:08Everyone here has both capability and integrity, do not they?
00:54:12What is this woman trying to say?
00:54:14Everyone here belongs in this room, except one man.
00:54:21And that person is you!
00:54:24My ex-husband, John!
00:54:28The guests and Charles all turn to look at me.
00:54:31Suddenly, two photos flashes up on the big screen.
00:54:34One of a young John with Mia, and another of John with Annie.
00:54:38Mr. Charles, John's a leech.
00:54:41His private life is a mess.
00:54:43He's been messing around with two women at the same time.
00:54:45He doesn't deserve to partner with you.
00:54:48He doesn't even deserve to stand here!
00:54:50The crowd gasps and buzzes with chatter.
00:54:53That woman looks familiar.
00:54:55Isn't that Mia Morgan, the COO of Nexus Capital Group?
00:54:59This guy's good at it.
00:55:01He actually hooked Mia Morgan?
00:55:04Who's the other woman?
00:55:05She's pretty hot, too.
00:55:08I stand rooting to the spot, listening to those whispers.
00:55:12My face darkening with anger.
00:55:14Eva, if you're asking for it, I'll give you what you want.
00:55:18Eva sashays towards Charles.
00:55:21A warm smile plastered on her face.
00:55:23Mr. Charles, as the investor's representative, I'm sure you will make the right judgment.
00:55:28Charles adjusts his suit jacket, a hint of helplessness on his face.
00:55:32He had probably never seen a woman so reckless with her own fate.
00:55:36He doesn't belong here.
00:55:37I used to be a sales director at Nexus Capital, 10 years of experience.
00:55:42And I've prepared a perfect promotional plan for your company.
00:55:47Charles takes Eva's proposal and flips through it quickly.
00:55:51His frown deepens with every page.
00:55:53If you take my advice, you'll find the most suitable partner.
00:55:57You'll dominate the market and become the industry leader.
00:56:01Charles snaps the proposal shut.
00:56:03Then, without a word, he slaps Eva hard across the face.
00:56:08She shrieks, her scream piercing through the entire conference hall.
00:56:13The guests exchange stunning glances.
00:56:15Alex and Amy rushes to support Eva.
00:56:18How dare you slander our investor!
00:56:21Charles hurls the proposal at Eva.
00:56:23Papers scatter across the floor.
00:56:26I didn't!
00:56:27When did I slander the investor?
00:56:29I only talked about that worthless piece of trash!
00:56:32John!
00:56:33Charles follows her pointing finger and looks at me.
00:56:36I stand calmly, arms crossing, like I was watching a circus.
00:56:41Alex turned to me furiously, his eyes blazing with rage.
00:56:45But I don't even flinch.
00:56:47You old bastard!
00:56:48What trick are you pulling now?
00:56:50A trick?
00:56:51Against you?
00:56:52You're not even worth the effort.
00:56:57The investor has arrived.
00:56:59The doors swing open.
00:57:01Two bodyguards stand on either side.
00:57:04Annie strides in.
00:57:05Her gaze sweeps over Eva.
00:57:07Then Alex, and finally lands on me.
00:57:10She smiles.
00:57:11Just slightly.
00:57:13Throw this stupid woman out!
00:57:15Alex and Amy look around anxiously, at a complete loss.
00:57:19They finally realize they are in trouble and panicked.
00:57:22Get out!
00:57:24All of you, shut up!
00:57:26I haven't slandered anyone!
00:57:30Eva stares at me and walks toward me.
00:57:32Every step is filled with hatred.
00:57:35John, are you telling me you and your COO don't have something going on?
00:57:38The doors swing open once again.
00:57:41Mia strides in, with an imposing presence.
00:57:44Of course I dare.
00:57:45John is my brother.
00:57:47There is absolutely no improper relationship between us, and there never will be.
00:57:51Mia walks over.
00:57:54And links her arm with mine.
00:58:00Everyone watches as Annie walks in.
00:58:07I smile.
00:58:09My eyes fix on her.
00:58:10Eva stands frozen.
00:58:11Her eye is wide open, as if she'd something unbelievable.
00:58:15Isn't she the other woman from the photo?
00:58:17How did this guy manage to win up two beautiful women?
00:58:34Eva mimicked the embrace from the photo on the screen, her gestures growing more exaggerated, as if she were putting
00:58:41on a comedy show.
00:58:42I watch her, expressionless.
00:58:44She can't even throw a tantrum without looking cheap.
00:58:47I bet this old bastard has completely fooled you, hasn't he?
00:58:50Hmm?
00:58:55My name sounds filthy just coming out of your mouth.
00:58:59So what if John and I are together?
00:59:01It's none of your business.
00:59:03Slandering my relationship with John, is this how you treat guests?
00:59:06Hey, this whole mess is that stupid woman's fault.
00:59:09What does it have to do with us?
00:59:10John, you're tight with the investor.
00:59:12Put in a good word for us, buddy.
00:59:13I remain silent, listening.
00:59:16These people, just moments ago, they were laughing at me.
00:59:20Now they are begging.
00:59:21Let me introduce you.
00:59:23The CEO of Nexus Capital Group, my older brother, John Morgan.
00:59:29Eva was dumbfounded.
00:59:32Wait, the CEO of Nexus Capital Group?
00:59:37That legendary billionaire?
00:59:39Charles nods, smiling calmly.
00:59:42Alex and Amy look at the crowd, their faces turning pale.
00:59:45This can't be.
00:59:47Eva Collins, you have no idea what you've lost, and every bit of it is your own damn fault.
00:59:54Eva freezes for a second.
00:59:57Then, she suddenly bursts into laughter.
00:59:59It was hysterical, like she had lost her mind.
01:00:04I get it, Mia!
01:00:06You're just covering for the gigola you're keeping!
01:00:10Eva, still can't face reality?
01:00:13Go online and search for who the CEO of Nexus Capital is.
01:00:16Alex, I've warned you many times.
01:00:18Too lazy to check?
01:00:19No!
01:00:21No way!
01:00:22Alex pulls out his phone, his fingers trembling.
01:00:28He's just a loser who stayed at home for decades!
01:00:32But Eva kept running her mouth.
01:00:35CEO?
01:00:36Billionaire?
01:00:37You are kidding me!
01:00:40Mom, look.
01:00:43The CEO of Nexus Capital Group really is, Dad.
01:00:48Eva snatches the phone, her eyes wide, staring at the screen.
01:00:52Then she shut a glance at me.
01:00:55It must be a coincidence.
01:00:57The same name?
01:01:00Suddenly, she loses it and slams the phone hard to the ground.
01:01:04The screen shatters instantly, just like the broken promotion dream.
01:01:08Eva Collins, do you really think everything you have was earned by yourself?
01:01:12It was my brother who gave it to you.
01:01:13But now, you've destroyed it all with your own hands.
01:01:17I listen to it all in silence, watching Eva stand frozen in shock, her lips trembling.
01:01:23Not a single word comes out of her.
01:01:25She finally knows the truth.
01:01:28Suddenly, Alex and Amy rush forward and drop to their knees in front of me, desperately grabbing my hands.
01:01:36Dad, I was wrong!
01:01:38Please, give me another chance, I beg you!
01:01:40I look down at them.
01:01:42These faces, the same ones that had called me a useless old man not long ago, are now plastering with
01:01:48fawning desperation and fear.
01:01:51I rip my hands away.
01:01:52I fall to the floor.
01:01:54Then they scramble right back up and crawl toward me again.
01:01:58They grab my hands once more, pleading pitifully.
01:02:03Guards, drag them out!
01:02:05Two bodyguards rush over, grab them and Eva, and haul them toward the door.
01:02:09They struggle furiously, shouting, their voices echoing through the hall.
01:02:14I stand where I was, my resolve unshaken.
01:02:18The moment they threw me out of that house, they were not my family anymore.
01:02:22A belated confession is nothing but a pale excuse.
01:02:29Mia keeps laying into Ava.
01:02:31Every word is like a knife, cutting straight into her heart.
01:02:35You never even finished high school.
01:02:38Someone who is incompetent at everything, what made you think you could hold your own at Nexus Capital?
01:02:42And yet you clawed your way up to manager, even COO.
01:02:45Eva shakes her head in despair, looking completely broken.
01:02:49Alex and Amy frown tidy, looking utterly confused.
01:02:54They had clearly never once thought about that question.
01:02:57Back in 2001, it was only because of your deal with Golden Fox Group that you became the company's top
01:03:03salesperson.
01:03:04When the company needed a sales director and a position happened to open up, you stepped in.
01:03:09Don't kid yourself, your success today isn't all down to you.
01:03:12Alex was stunned.
01:03:13He lowers his head in disbelief.
01:03:16He finally begins to understand where his so-called talent had really come from.
01:03:21I listened quietly to Mia's words.
01:03:24Every date, every event, every step of the way, I had paved the road for her.
01:03:30Without my brother's help, you are nothing.
01:03:33Eva shakes her head repeatedly, backing away.
01:03:36Her high heels clatter against the floor in a chaotic mess.
01:03:40No! That was my hard work! I did it myself! You're lying! You're all lying to me!
01:03:46Annie's stunned for a moment.
01:03:48She covers her mouth with both hands, her eyes glistening with tears, filling with joy and emotion.
01:03:54Yes! With all my heart, I'll be with you forever!
01:03:59I stand up and gently slip the ring onto her finger.
01:04:02The ring sparkles brightly in the sunlight, casting tiny, warm glints.
01:04:14Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?
01:04:17I won't make you wait any longer.
01:04:19Annie holds me tight, tears in her eyes, and nods firmly.
01:04:23I gently pat her back.
01:04:25Then, a sharp voice shatters the peace.
01:04:27John!
01:04:28I turn around.
01:04:29Ava and Amy stand not far away, their eyes fixing on me.
01:04:34Instinctively, I step in front of Annie to protect her.
01:04:38What are you doing here?
01:04:41In the winter park, sunlight filters through the bare branches, casting dappling shadows on the ground.
01:04:48Annie and I walk side by side, just like 20 years ago.
01:04:53Annie points at a tree not far away.
01:04:55Look, that's where we first met. Do you remember?
01:04:59She looks at me, with light in her eyes.
01:05:02I smile and point to the same spot.
01:05:04Of course.
01:05:05There was a tree.
01:05:07I was sitting under it, reading a book.
01:05:09Then you ran over and asked me what I was reading.
01:05:11You scared the hell out of me.
01:05:13We walk in silence, smiles on our faces.
01:05:16Those memories, buried by time, have come back to life, like spring grass pushing through the dirt.
01:05:22Annie, it's cold. You're not wearing enough.
01:05:25Be careful not to catch a cold.
01:05:27I take off my scarf and wrap it around Annie's neck.
01:05:31The scarf had warmth from my body heat.
01:05:33I smile and gently put my hand on her shoulder.
01:05:42Annie, do you remember I promised you an answer after the meeting?
01:05:47I remember.
01:05:51I stop walking and take a deep breath.
01:05:53Then, I go down on one knee.
01:05:56I take out a ring box from my pocket and open it.
01:05:59Eyes sincere.
01:06:01Annie, will you marry me?
01:06:02Will you stand by my side and spend the rest of our lives together?
01:06:06Eva and Amy walk toward me.
01:06:08I stand in front of Annie, refusing to let that woman disturb my life any further.
01:06:13We need to talk.
01:06:16Should I step aside?
01:06:17No.
01:06:18Just say what you have to say.
01:06:20We still have things to do.
01:06:21I stare at her coldly.
01:06:22Amy stands right beside her, with the same heartbroken look.
01:06:26Since when did people like them have hearts that would hurt?
01:06:36John, I'm sorry.
01:06:38I was wrong.
01:06:39Please.
01:06:41Come home with me.
01:06:43She reaches for my hand.
01:06:45The same hand that slapped me.
01:06:47The same hand that threw away my mother's pocket watch.
01:06:50I yank my hand away from hers.
01:06:53Eva looks stunned.
01:06:54As if she were the one who had been wronged.
01:06:57Eva, we're already divorced.
01:06:59We're done.
01:07:03Please.
01:07:05Please.
01:07:05I'm begging you.
01:07:06I regret it.
01:07:08I never wanted a divorce.
01:07:10Please.
01:07:12Let's remarry now.
01:07:14Annie looks at me nervously.
01:07:16My heart was churning, but my face showed nothing.
01:07:19I don't care why you changed your mind.
01:07:21You chose the divorce.
01:07:23You broke your vows.
01:07:25There's nothing left between us.
01:07:27I turn my head slowly and look at Annie.
01:07:30In her eyes, I could see unease, hope, and trust.
01:07:35I call her softly and gently pull her into my arms, embracing her with all my tenderness.
01:07:41Now, I only care about Annie.
01:07:44As for you, I'm completely done.
01:07:47Don't ever come near us again.
01:07:52I walk straight past Eva with Annie in my arms, never looking back.
01:07:57Not even once.
01:07:58Each step fills with unwavering resolve.
01:08:02Annie glances at her softly.
01:08:04There was no smugness in that look.
01:08:06Only pity.
01:08:06From behind us, Eva's cries drift over, clear and heavy.
01:08:12No, no, no.
01:08:13John!
01:08:15The next day, I am working in my office when a noisy commotion drifts up from downstairs.
01:08:24I stand by the window and pull back the curtain.
01:08:27Eva is kneeling on the street, holding up a sign that reads,
01:08:31John, I was wrong.
01:08:33Beside her, stand another sign.
01:08:35I just want us to remarry.
01:08:37Please forgive me.
01:08:38Annie, I'll wait for you right here, for the sake of our children.
01:08:41A crowd of passersby had gathered around her, pointing, whispering, and taking photos.
01:08:47Some feeling sympathy for her, others mocking her.
01:08:51I stand by the window, expressionless, and pull the curtain shut.
01:08:59Moments later, the office door creaks open.
01:09:02Annie walks in, holding a warm lunchbox.
01:09:05I hurry over to greet her.
01:09:07We sit down together, to enjoy our lunch.
01:09:11In this world, some people will throw you away like trash,
01:09:15while others will treasure you like gold.
01:09:18Don't waste your heart on the wrong person.
01:09:21I slam the evidence down in front of her.
01:09:23Eva freezes for a second.
01:09:25The panic passes, then turns into anger.
01:09:28Are you some kind of creep, going through my stuff?
01:09:30Phil and I were discussing photography, that's all.
01:09:33Photography?
01:09:34Did she thought I'm an idiot?
01:09:35That's how you dress to discuss photography?
01:09:38For 20 years, I backed your career, gave you everything, and this is how you repay me?
01:09:44Cheating on me?
01:09:45Who is he?
01:09:46Tell me!
01:09:47Who the hell is that bastard?
01:09:48I grip her wrist, then the door opens.
01:09:51Alex and Amy stand in the doorway.
01:09:54My son and my daughter.
01:09:56I don't want this exploding in front of them.
01:09:58I let go of Eva and step back, but she refuses to back down.
01:10:03Phil cares about me.
01:10:05He understands and supports me.
01:10:07He's my soulmate, my best friend.
01:10:09My finger pointed her, shaking.
01:10:12Soulmate?
01:10:13Best friend?
01:10:14Then what have I been for 20 years?
01:10:16Your unpaid servant?
01:10:18Amy and Alex rush over and grab my arms.
01:10:20What are you doing?
01:10:21I look at them, and for a moment, hope rises.
01:10:25They'll take my side.
01:10:26They have to.
01:10:27I'm their father.
01:10:28Eva, look at your children.
01:10:30Can you swear in front of them that you and Phil are just friends?
01:10:33Eva looks away, unable to meet my eyes.
01:10:36Amy and Alex look down at the love letter that scattered across the floor.
01:10:40There should have been shock, rage, something.

01:10:46Dad, you've got it wrong.
01:10:48Mom and Phil are friends.
01:10:50What, a woman can't have a guy best friend now?

01:11:14Phil stands in the entryway, holding three elegant gift bags.
01:11:19Wearing that perfect smile, like he belongs here.
01:11:22You left your clothes at my place.
01:11:24He lifts the bags casually, like he was mentioning nothing at all.
01:11:27He acts slightly, like he is meaning to be said.
01:11:29So, uh...
