Short filmTranscript
00:06Doctor, can my brother's surgery wait a few more days?
00:09No. If you delay any longer, the risk will increase.
00:12You need to pay the deposit today.
00:15I'll find a way.
00:18I swear I will.
00:19Sis, don't make that face. I'm not dead yet.
00:23Shut up.
00:24You're going to live a long time and annoy me forever.
00:28If it's impossible, then don't ruin yourself for me.
00:31You're my brother, not a bill. Don't ever say that again.
00:37Ivy, if you don't pay the rent, I'll throw all your rags and sewing machines out.
00:41Give me two more days.
00:42That's what you said last time. Pay by tonight or get out.
00:48The hyenas in the company are waiting for me to die.
00:51If you still refuse to build a family, how can I trust you with everything?
00:56Marriage is not a corporate firewall.
00:58In the Hastings family, it is.
01:00Your uncle is already gathering the board. You need a proper, stable wife.
01:04Immediately.
01:05I will not marry a stranger for inheritance.
01:08Then prepare to lose the company.
01:11And my last bit of trust.
01:15Are you insane? Those are my designs!
01:17Designs don't pay rent. Poor girls shouldn't dream so big.
01:24Her name is Ivy Bennett.
01:27Clean background. Desperate for money.
01:29Younger brother critically ill.
01:30No family power. No threat to the inheritance.
01:33Will she agree?
01:34People with no way out usually understand contracts best.
01:41Miss Ivy Bennett?
01:42Who are you?
01:43Someone wants to discuss a marriage arrangement with you.
01:45You think I am?
01:47Someone who can save your brother.
01:48And possibly save you too.
01:54So you want me to marry you?
01:56A man whose name I just learned?
01:58Accurately speaking.
01:59For one year.
02:00Legal marriage.
02:01Confidelity agreement.
02:02Compensation enough to cover your brother's surgery and recovery.
02:05You're remarkably calm when insulting someone.
02:07I'm not insulting you.
02:08I'm giving you an option.
02:09An option?
02:10When poor people are pushed to the edge of a cliff, that's not an option.
02:13You need money.
02:13I need a wife.
02:14You don't have to love me or please me.
02:16Just play your role.
02:17What if I say no?
02:18Then get out.
02:20Do men like you really think money can buy everything?
02:23No.
02:24It can't buy love, loyalty, or time.
02:27But in a hospital, money usually buys a chance.
02:31One year term.
02:32Publicly recognized marriage.
02:33In return, Mr. Bennett's treatment will be fully funded by the Hastings Private Foundation.
02:37What if I change my mind halfway through?
02:39The penalty would bankrupt you.
02:40What if you do?
02:41I won't.
02:43Go find someone else to perform in your rich man fairy tale.
02:45I'm not your girl.
02:47Your brother's condition is unstable.
02:49We need to schedule the surgery immediately.
02:51What's the latest we can wait?
02:52We're counting hours, not days.
02:54Sis, have you been crying?
02:57No.
02:58Just the wind.
02:58You've never been good at lying.
03:00Then you should also know I won't let anything happen to you.
03:06The contract?
03:07I'll sign.
03:07Tomorrow at nine.
03:08A car will pick you up.
03:09Tell your boss this doesn't mean I belong to him.
03:11Good.
03:11And remember this.
03:12You'll be my wife, not my lover.
03:14Then you better remember this too.
03:15I'm selling a marriage, not my dignity.
03:25He's stable for now, but we can't delay any longer.
03:28Once the funds arrive, we operate immediately.
03:32The funds have been transferred to the hospital.
03:34It's time for you to honor your promise.
03:36Please confirm that you are entering this marriage voluntarily.
03:42I confirm.
03:44Confirmed.
03:46That's it?
03:47No.
03:48This is just the beginning.
03:49Oh my god, your bone structure is incredible.
03:52I feel like I've been polished for display.
03:56Remember the rules.
03:57No unsanctured interviews.
03:58Not talking about the contract.
04:00No slipping up in front of my grandfather.
04:02Anything else, your majesty?
04:05Don't fall in love with me.
04:08Relax.
04:09I'm not attracted to refrigerators.
04:12Good.
04:13Keep that sense of boundaries.
04:16So you suddenly became rich?
04:18Not rich.
04:19I borrowed a way out.
04:21Sis, your eyes are telling me the price is huge.
04:25As long as you live, it's worth it.
04:29How many people live in a place like this?
04:32Usually just me.
04:33Now you've got one expensive problem you paid for.
04:35As long as you don't create scandals, you're still a decent investment.
04:38Sir, we have a problem.
04:39Media got photos of you two outside the registration office.
04:41They're already spreading.
04:41Who leaked it?
04:42Not sure yet.
04:43But someone is watching this marriage.
04:51Alexander, you finally gave me an opening.
04:58So you're the woman who made my grandson suddenly decide to marry.
05:02Good evening, Mr. Hastings.
05:03Call me Grandpa since you're in this family now.
05:07Of course, Grandpa.
05:08What a surprise.
05:09Alexander barely glances at women, and yet he quietly got married.
05:14Mrs. Ivy must be very special.
05:16Maybe I just had bad luck and appeared exactly when he needed someone.
05:21That dress suits you.
05:22It almost makes people forget it was never meant for you.
05:26At least it's on me now, not hanging somewhere making snive comments.
05:30What do you love about my grandson?
05:34He seems impossible to get close to, but he never treats important things lightly.
05:38A man like that may not be gentle, but he can be trusted.
05:42And you, Alexander?
05:44She doesn't flatter me, and she isn't afraid of me.
05:46That's rare.
05:50You think marrying in means you've won?
05:52This family will chew you up and spit you out.
05:54Still better than spending a lifetime watching other people live.
06:00Dig into her.
06:01School, jobs, exes, debts.
06:03I want everything.
06:05Understood.
06:07Cinderella?
06:08No.
06:09She's just a poor girl who wandered into the ball.
06:17It is 2.47 in the morning.
06:19Congratulations.
06:20Your watch still works.
06:21This is not a factory.
06:22To me, any place that can make money and save a life is a factory.
06:26What you need is sleep, not turning the room into a disaster zone.
06:29I can't afford sleep.
06:32Do not bring cheap packaged food into the dining room.
06:35Sorry.
06:36Next time I'll ask if your chandelier can handle commoner food.
06:39Starting today, your schedule will be managed by the team.
06:42Etiquette lessons, public image training, family background briefing.
06:45I wasn't purchased for finishing school.
06:47No.
06:47You were hired to maintain stability.
06:49Sir, the old master had another bad night.
06:54Your face is more bitter than the medicine.
06:56Then get better soon so you can keep criticizing me.
07:01Eavesdropping is not an attractive habit.
07:02I wasn't eavesdropping.
07:03I just didn't expect you to care for someone like that.
07:05Don't misunderstand.
07:06I'm fulfilling a duty.
07:07Some people can't even manage duty.
07:10Billionaire CEO's mystery rife exposed, allegedly from the Slims, formerly worked in a low-end garment factory.
07:16Is this marriage true love or a high society stunt?
07:20Wake the entire PR team.
07:22Now.
07:29That's her.
07:29She doesn't look like a gold digger.
07:31Give it time.
07:32Some women are expert at pretending.
07:37Chin up.
07:37The more shaken you look, the more they enjoy it.
07:39I'm not shaken.
07:40I just want to throw champagne in their faces.
07:42Hold it.
07:43Ivy, you've become quite famous.
07:44Must be nice.
07:45Some people make headlines without any talent.
07:47Just a marriage.
07:48And some people have all the resources in the world, yet still need to belittle others to feel visible.
07:52Don't misunderstand.
07:53I'm just saying couture can't hide where you came from.
07:55Funny.
07:56I've always believed jewelry and titles can't hide bad manners.
07:58We're all family here.
08:00No need for tension.
08:00Ivy is new to this world.
08:02Naturally, she doesn't know the rules.
08:03I know the rules.
08:04I just struggle when cruelty gets wrapped in etiquette.
08:10Stay with me.
08:11Mr. Hastings, would you share your love story with your wife?
08:14Nothing legendary.
08:14I've met many polished people, but very few truly strong ones.
08:18She is one of them.
08:19And you, Miss Ivy?
08:20I've met many rich men, but not all of them know what responsibility means.
08:23He does.
08:25That line about me being strong, was that scripted?
08:29No.
08:29By the way, these sketches look awfully familiar.
08:33I think I've seen them somewhere before.
08:42Ivy, before you explain, I'd like to know why your sketches are nearly identical to a proposal
08:47and other brands submitted last week.
08:48That's impossible.
08:49I drew these myself.
08:51The fashion world fears thieves more than poverty.
08:54Are you accusing me of play-stirring?
08:55I'm just reminding everyone that the law draws a very clear line between inspiration and stealing.
09:03Give me the original files and submission time-times.
09:06I can prove it.
09:08Until this is resolved, your proposal is suspended.
09:14What happened?
09:15My design was stolen, and now they're calling me the thief.
09:18Who?
09:19Your precious high society friend, Stella, and a room full of people who trust surnames more than work.
09:24What evidence do you have?
09:25If I had evidence, I wouldn't be standing here like a public joke.
09:29Look at me.
09:30Did you steal it?
09:30You doubt me, too?
09:32Answer me.
09:32No.
09:33I'd rather starve than steal someone else's work.
09:36Good.
09:37Then leave the rest for me.
09:38I don't need your charity.
09:39This isn't charity.
09:40You're my wife.
09:41If someone attacks you, they're attacking me.
09:43Pull every camera feed, email trail, and file access log.
09:46Also find out who Stella's been meeting with.
09:48Yes, sir.
09:49Sir, there's an anomaly.
09:51The external contact who leaked the files overlaps with Mr. Marcus's PR team.
09:54My uncle.
09:55Is she breaking?
09:56Not yet.
09:57Alexander stepped in.
10:00Then keep going.
10:02I want to see how far he'll go for a fake wife.
10:16Tonight, keyboard members will be there, and Marcus is bringing media allies.
10:19You need to look like a flawless Mrs. Hastings.
10:21Easy for you to say.
10:22The whole world thinks I'm a fraud right now.
10:24Then show them a different version.
10:26You always do this.
10:27Manage people like projects.
10:29If you lose control tonight, tomorrow's headlines will be uglier.
10:33Fine.
10:34I'll play along.
10:35But don't you dare leave me standing alone in the line of fire.
10:38I won't.
10:44They don't look like a couple on the verge of collapse.
10:47Maybe that's just what rich people do.
10:49You both look radiant tonight.
10:53Especially you, Ivy.
10:54You hardly seem new to rooms like this.
10:57I suppose that's because I've seen plenty of things in life.
11:01Malice, for one.
11:02Mr. Hastings, over here.
11:04Give your wife a loving look.
11:05Don't pull away.
11:06You're too close.
11:08That's exactly what they want.
11:10Aren't you worried people will make up stories if they see us out here alone?
11:14They're already writing stories.
11:15One more won't matter.
11:17Thank you for today.
11:18I told you.
11:19You're my wife.
11:20Every time you say that, I can't tell if you're reminding me of my role or yourself.
11:25Sir, the photos are already trending.
11:30If even I'm starting to lose track of what's real, then the outside world definitely can't tell.
11:35Then don't.
11:42It was just an act.
11:45What are you looking at?
11:47News.
11:48Nothing to do with you.
11:52Bad angle.
11:53You're critiquing it now?
11:54It made you look shorter.
11:56I'm going to work.
12:01The waistline you adjusted last time was brilliant.
12:04That's because the original was too conservative.
12:13Don't deal with it yet.
12:16Why are you standing there like that?
12:19Watching you talk.
12:21Do you have nothing better to do?
12:23Do you smile like that with everyone?
12:26Talking to normal people is easier than talking to you.
12:29Normal people?
12:31Move.
12:34What are you avoiding?
12:35I'm not.
12:44Answer it.
12:50Ivy, you need to get here now.
12:51It's critical.
12:52Don't ask questions.
12:53Just come.
12:54How could it get worse all of a sudden?
13:02Calm down.
13:04My brother is in trouble!
13:06I know.
13:08The car is ready.
13:16What if he can't make it to surgery?
13:19He will.
13:20How can you be so sure?
13:23Because I won't let that happen.
13:26Don't panic.
13:28It's still controllable for now.
13:30I really can't hold on anymore.
13:33You can cry.
13:35Then stand up.
13:37Can't you say something softer?
13:39He'll be fine.
13:40And so will you.
13:44Sis, did I scare you again?
13:46Shut up.
13:48Save your strength.
13:52Do you really love my sister?
14:04What you should care about now is the surgery.
14:09You didn't deny it.
14:12We need the latest plan and transfer backup protocol immediately.
14:17We'll coordinate the best team immediately.
14:19Block all media and external visits.
14:22As instructed, the medical records won't leak.
14:25Add another layer of security.
14:29You arranged all this?
14:33It's in the contract.
14:35You know it's not just the contract.
14:46No.
14:48Who did this?
14:50Why won't they just leave me alone?
14:54This time, I'll find who did it.
15:02This wasn't impulsive.
15:03It was deliberate.
15:05I've had the surveillance pulled.
15:09No one was caught directly, but Stella's people and Marcus' side have had unusual contact recently.
15:17Keep watching.
15:19I heard your sample was destroyed, and you still kept your head good.
15:24Panic won't fix it.
15:27This belonged to my late wife.
15:30I'm giving it to you.
15:32It's too precious.
15:33I can't.
15:35I'm giving it to you.
15:36That's not your decision.
15:38Since you're in this family, stop acting like an outsider.
15:55That brooch.
15:57Grandfather gave it to you?
15:59Is that a problem?
16:02It seems I underestimated you.
16:07Some people are lucky.
16:09That doesn't mean their work is clean.
16:12Are you finished?
16:15The start placement would collapse the shoulder line.
16:19This paneling looks avant-garde, but it would fail in production.
16:27Don't act like the expert here.
16:29I'm not acting.
16:31You just don't understand it.
16:37She's right.
16:38This version has real flaws.
16:42The way you look at her, it's not how you look at a contract bride anymore.
16:46What are you trying to say?
16:47I'm just reminding you.
16:48When the act goes on too long, the first one to lose usually isn't the woman.
16:52Mind yourself.
17:05If you're here to rush me, you can leave.
17:07I'm here to see how late you plan to destroy yourself.
17:12All of these are rejected drafts?
17:15If they're not good enough, they go.
17:18Why do you insist on this?
17:19Because it's the only thing I'm truly good at, and the only thing I refuse to give up.
17:25It looks like you.
17:28How?
17:29It looks soft, but the structure is hard.
17:32To me, it is.
17:34What about you?
17:35Without inheritance, the board, and your grandfather's expectations, what kind of person would you be?
17:40I don't know.
17:43Well, maybe I never had the chance to think about it.
17:49If there were no contract, would you choose me?
17:57You shouldn't ask that.
17:59Why?
18:00Because it makes things confusing.
18:03Confusing what?
18:05That you might actually care.
18:13Then don't answer yet.
18:27Interesting.
18:34So it really is fake.
18:36Should we leak it now?
18:38No.
18:40Wait until they almost believe it themselves.
18:43Then tear it open.
18:49I want her name cleared completely.
18:53If we push all of this, it'll be massive.
18:57Then make it massive.
18:59You're not telling her?
19:01No need.
19:04Your case has been torn open.
19:06No one dares talk nonsense now.
19:09Who did this?
19:10Let's just say it wasn't something you could have done alone.
19:19Proceed with the second legal strategy.
19:21Her name cannot be dragged through this any longer.
19:32You handled the plagiarism issue, didn't you?
19:35It was nothing.
19:37You always make important things sound significant.
19:43If you really want to thank me,
19:45stop carrying everything alone.
19:48I heard your brother's treatment is a bottomless pit.
19:52Alexander is certainly generous.
19:55And again, some marriages are priced clearly from the start.
19:58Watch your mouth.
19:59Did I say anything untrue?
20:02That's enough.
20:04Say one more thing about her or her brother,
20:07and you won't walk away from this table.
20:15Grandpa!
20:18Get the doctor!
20:19Now!
20:24Fortunately, he was brought in time.
20:28Was it because of me?
20:30No.
20:31Don't take responsibility for other people's malice.
20:34After your show, I need to tell you something.
20:38Is it important?
20:41Yes.
20:52The performance is over.
20:53Shall we send it to the press now?
20:55Release it when she's closest to her moment.
20:56That's when it hurts most.
21:05Don't go out yet.
21:07I have a notch, Stu.
21:07What happened?
21:14Oh, goodness.
21:19Three partner brands have paused support,
21:21and two sponsors are pulling out.
21:24The board is asking whether we should issue a statement immediately.
21:29Marcus.
21:34I've always believed in love.
21:36But if this is true, it's deeply disappointing.
21:41Going out now will only make it worse.
21:43I need answers.
21:49I'll handle it.
21:50Did you always know this day could come?
21:53That's not what I asked.
22:09Mr. Alexander, is the marriage contract real?
22:12Did Ivy take sake money to play along?
22:15Has the Hastings been deceiving the public all along?
22:21Find her.
22:22The reporters are everywhere.
22:24It's hard to get to her.
22:24Miss Ivy, did you marry for money?
22:26Was your brother's medical bill part of the deal?
22:34How dare you?
22:36Brother, don't agitate yourself.
22:38Young people make mistakes.
22:40Get out!
22:42Get out!
22:44Doctor!
22:44Call the doctor!
22:49The old gentleman suffered severe shock.
22:51He's in a coma.
22:58Marcus' side is already saying the storm won't stop as long as your wife stays with you.
23:02If you cut ties now, at least she may stop being targeted.
23:09Come with me.
23:12Grandpa will wake up, right?
23:16What do you mean?
23:17It means the farce is over.
23:19You want a divorce now?
23:21What else?
23:23Let the world keep watching me be trapped by a poor woman?
23:25You know I'm not-
23:27What you are doesn't matter.
23:28From today on, you have nothing to do with the Hastings family.
23:33So everything you said and did before was fake?
23:36Weren't you always clear?
23:37It was a transaction.
23:40Fine.
23:45As you wish.
23:49Forgive me.
23:54Those stories online, are they true?
23:58I'll pay rent on time.
24:03That's her.
24:04The one who married into money by contract.
24:06Guess she got kicked out.
24:09Sis, don't go back.
24:13If a place hurts you this much, don't beg it for happiness.
24:24I'm not only what I was with him.
24:30They want me gone?
24:33Then I'll make the whole world see me.
24:39If there's no runway, we'll make our own.
24:42You're really doing a street show?
24:43If capital won't give me a place, I'll build one.
24:48This wasn't only about driving me out.
24:55What are you doing here?
24:56I have something that can ruin Marcus.
24:59Why give it to me?
25:00Because I'm tired of him too.
25:01But I won't give it away for free.
25:03You have to promise you won't use it to go beg someone.
25:05You use it to bring him down.
25:08Deal.
25:09Tomorrow.
25:10Usual place.
25:17Don't think about what it used to be.
25:18Think of it as a piece not yet named.
25:20This fabric is too worn.
25:22It won't make a gown.
25:23Then don't make a gown.
25:24Make armor.
25:26The first part.
25:33What were these payments for?
25:35Buying bots.
25:36Planted articles and people to smear you.
25:40And that's not all.
25:41Keep digging.
25:42And you'll find he touched more than public opinion.
25:44Why do you have this?
25:46Because someone used me as a tool for too long.
25:48I'd like to see him fall.
26:13My sister is incredible.
26:22Public opinion is turning.
26:24She never should have been buried.
26:27Ivy.
26:28Is there anything you want to say to everyone watching?
26:31The person who really deserves to be pushed out is not me.
26:38This payment matches the platorism report.
26:40This one bought trending topics and bot traffic.
26:43And this outsourced PR firm has been laundering for Marcus.
26:47He wasn't just targeting me.
26:49Of course not.
26:50You were just the most useful knife.
26:53Marcus is already lobbying us.
26:55He wants to move for your removal at the next board meeting.
26:59Let him.
27:01Are you certain?
27:03Once the evidence lands, the board will turn.
27:08This time, let me save you.
27:21What you are doing here.
27:24I came to stand with you.
27:26You shouldn't be here.
27:28You're going to push me away again?
27:30I know why you drove me away.
27:32It wasn't that you didn't love me.
27:34You were afraid your family would drag me deeper into the mud.
27:38And what if you know?
27:38Then I'm even less likely to let you carry this alone.
27:43You have no idea how badly I wanted to keep you.
27:46Then don't let go this time.
27:48I've finished Nish the evidence package.
27:50The board meeting won't be your solo battle anymore.
27:54Ivy is back.
27:57She really never learns.
28:03Before the agenda begins,
28:04I believe we need to address the company's reputation crisis.
28:09The current heir deceived the public and the board with a contract marriage,
28:14bringing disgrace for the entire Hastings family.
28:16If this is true, it's difficult to justify.
28:18The market has already been affected.
28:21Finished?
28:22I propose we initiate Alexander removal immediately.
28:28Since when do outsiders walk into board meetings?
28:31If today is about deception and descandal,
28:35then the one who should be judged isn't him.
28:41These are records of Marcus's embezzlement,
28:43media manipulation,
28:44bribery of competitors,
28:46and coordinated public opinion attacks.
28:48This can't be.
28:49Every transfer,
28:50every shell company,
28:51every planted article,
28:52the full timeline is here.
28:54Including the original plazerism smear,
28:56the destroyed sample,
28:57and the contract leak,
28:58they all trace back to teams controlled by Marcus.
29:01You think a few sheets of paper can convict me?
29:05What if you add witness testimony?
29:08I can testify that all of these operations were executed under Marcus's orders.
29:13You think this little bit of evidence can destroy me?
29:18Enough.
29:20These are the overnight audit findings from the internal finance team.
29:23They fully match the evidence I've been submitted.
29:27Abnormal off-shares transfers.
29:31PR budgets were split and laundered out.
29:34I also have recordings.
29:35Marcus explicitly ordered Ivy to be taken down by leaking the contract,
29:39then planned to use the backlash to bring Alexander down.
29:42Release it when she's closest to her moment.
29:44That's when it hurts most.
29:46You can't decide based on this alone.
29:48Enough, Mr. Marcus.
29:51Motion passed.
29:53Marcus is removed from all duties and referred to legal authorities.
29:58Did we win?
29:59We did.
30:01This time, you brought him back.
30:10Mr. Alexander?
30:14This contract was the beginning I gave you.
30:17It had a term, conditions, and a price, but it never had the right to define you.
30:23I once believed I could control everything with rules.
30:27Then I realized the first thing I lost control of was my heart for you.
30:35From the very beginning, I lost.
30:38I lost to you and to the love I refuse to admit.
30:43Ivy, this time not a contract, not a transition, not an obligation.
30:47It's me asking you seriously in front of the whole world, marry me.
30:50Yes, I will.
30:51Yes, I will.
30:52Yes, I will.
30:54Yes, I will.
30:56Yes, I will.
30:57Yes, I will.
30:58Yes, I will.
30:58Yes, I will.
30:58Yes, I will.
30:59Yes, I will.
31:00Yes, I will.
31:00Yes, I will.
31:01Yes, I will.
