00:04:07I'm gonna find him right now
00:04:08Don't
00:04:09I've decided not to renew the lease
00:04:11I'm moving out tomorrow
00:04:13Have you decided where you're going?
00:04:16Aurelia Square across the street
00:04:17Mom had already reserved the first floor
00:04:20Then I'll call Aurelia Square's leasing office
00:04:22I'll take the entire fourth floor
00:04:24What about your clients here?
00:04:26Don't worry about the members
00:04:27They'll follow
00:04:28Aurelia Square is a five minute walk across the street
00:04:32I'll have a team here tonight
00:04:33To strip the gym down and move the equipment
00:04:39Okay, I'll go talk to my brother
00:04:48This place is mind-blowing
00:04:50It's literally filled with the absolute latest here
00:04:52Damn, this is literally one of a kind in this city
00:04:55Ethan
00:04:59Avery, don't sneak up on me like that
00:05:01Pack your things, we're moving tomorrow
00:05:02Moving? To where?
00:05:04Aurelia Square, just across the street
00:05:07Awesome, I've wanted to move there forever
00:05:09This mall's internet is trash
00:05:11And Ryan keeps hitting us with stupid management fees every day
00:05:14I'll cover the early to the nation fee
00:05:16You don't need to pay it
00:05:18I made nearly 115k in renewals for my regulars recently
00:05:21So that penalty fee is a joke
00:05:23I'll spend all night taking down the gear
00:05:25If you need help at your shop
00:05:26I can call my crew to back you up
00:05:27No need
00:05:28Just focus on your own shop
00:05:40What's going on? Why are they closed all of a sudden?
00:05:53Avery, Ryan came by with people just now
00:05:55What did he say?
00:05:57He said the cable burned out and it'll take three days to fix
00:05:59So we shouldn't open for business for the next three days
00:06:04Go lock the door
00:06:05Lock the door?
00:06:06Yes
00:06:06Take your personal belongings and leave early today
00:06:08But what about everything in the cake shop?
00:06:11A professional moving company will come pick everything up tomorrow
00:06:13I posted it in the staff group
00:06:15Three days of paid time off
00:06:17After that, everyone reports to the new store
00:06:19After we absolutely have to leave Avery
00:06:21We built this shop for quite a bit
00:06:22We can stay here but when we can see the inside of dogs
00:06:25Let's go
00:06:26Lock the door properly
00:06:43Avery, why is your cake shop locked?
00:06:45Didn't you tell us not to open for business?
00:06:47Watch your mouth
00:06:48The tea shop is coming to measure the place tomorrow
00:06:50Clear your stuff out fast and don't get in the way of a major brand
00:06:53Okay
00:06:53Then get out already
00:06:55Tomorrow, I'll leave it spotless for you
00:06:57Completely empty
00:07:03Easy with that display unit
00:07:05Don't damage the edges
00:07:07Ugh, what is that smell?
00:07:10It's awful
00:07:11This is what's been taking up the unit
00:07:13How tacky
00:07:14Mr. Cole, are you sure this location is as good as your claim?
00:07:18Absolutely
00:07:18Ms. Blake, look
00:07:19This unit faces the escalator directly
00:07:21All the foot waiver flows right through here
00:07:23Before it was wasted on a low-end shop like this
00:07:26Once it becomes your star sip tea
00:07:28It'll blow up the whole floor
00:07:30So you're the tenant who refused to leave?
00:07:33Careful with the coffee machine
00:07:34Don't let it get scratched
00:07:36Hey, I'm talking to you
00:07:38Are you deaf?
00:07:39This flooring has to be ripped out too
00:07:41What terrible taste
00:07:43Hurry up and get out
00:07:46Don't delay my designer from taking measurements
00:07:50This store still has three months left on the lease
00:07:52For now, it is still my private business premises
00:07:55Please leave
00:07:57Mr. Cole, is she serious?
00:08:00She thinks she can throw me out?
00:08:06Don't push it, Avery
00:08:07You're lucky Ms. Blake wants this space
00:08:09You said you were moving today
00:08:11Stop stalling and get out
00:08:13Does moving not take time?
00:08:16Or can you not even wait half a day, Mr. Cole?
00:08:18Are you planning to help me move yourself?
00:08:20You
00:08:21Forget it
00:08:22Why bother arguing with someone this low class?
00:08:26Looking at you, I'm guessing you have nowhere to go
00:08:28Come work as a cleaner at my new store
00:08:29Since you're clearing this space for me
00:08:31I'll give you a base of $3,000
00:08:34But you'll need to wash off that broke, shavy vibe first
00:08:36Hey, you can't talk to her like that
00:08:38Ms. Carter actually respects the people who work for her
00:08:40Who do you think you are?
00:08:42Oh, so she brought two knights in shining armor?
00:08:44A bunch of manual laborers think they can raise their voices at me?
00:08:48Keep working, sir
00:08:48If a dog bites, humans don't bite back
00:08:51Who are you calling a dog?
00:08:53Whoever answers to it
00:08:55Mr. Cole, take your honored guest and leave
00:08:57Otherwise, I will call the police and report you for trespassing on business premises and causing a disturbance
00:09:03Fine
00:09:04Avery, act tough
00:09:05Let's see how long you can keep it up
00:09:07Ms. Blake, let's go to my office for some coffee first
00:09:10We'll come back once she's gone
00:09:15What a piece of junk
00:09:17Ms. Carter, management is straight up bullying you
00:09:20Your shop does so well
00:09:22How can they just kick you out?
00:09:24It's fine
00:09:24Out with the old, in with the new
00:09:30How's everything going on your end?
00:09:32The equipment is dismantled and being loaded now
00:09:35Willia Square cleared of space overnight
00:09:37Back then, this space was completely abandoned
00:09:40No maintenance, no help, nothing
00:09:43It was up to me, Mia and the crew to clean it up
00:09:47Wiping away years of grime bit by bit
00:09:49Now, it's completely empty again
00:10:01Ryan really went out of his way to mess with me
00:10:09What's going on with the freight elevator?
00:10:12Maintenance
00:10:13Didn't you see the notice?
00:10:14The elevator cables are old, so we had to take it out of service for safety reasons
00:10:18When will it be fixed?
00:10:19Hard to say
00:10:20It could be three days
00:10:21It could be half a month
00:10:22We need to get parts shipped in from out of town
00:10:25Avery, I told you
00:10:26You won't be able to move all that junk out
00:10:29Why not just leave it here and sell it as scrap from Ms. Blake?
00:10:31Or you can come to my office right now and apologize
00:10:34If I'm in a good mood, maybe the freight elevator gets fixed immediately
00:10:42Sir, we don't need this oven anymore
00:10:44You don't want it?
00:10:46This thing is important
00:10:47It's worth a fortune
00:10:49No, we're not taking it
00:10:51Put it right here
00:10:59Let's go
00:10:59We're going downstairs
00:11:11Who is stupid enough to block the doorway with this huge oven?
00:11:15Mr. Cole
00:11:16I think it was Ms. Carter
00:11:18From the cake shop on the third floor
00:11:20I just saw her heading downstairs with some people
00:11:24Fine
00:11:24If she wants to cross me
00:11:26I'll make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life
00:11:31Sir, could you open up the gate?
00:11:33We need to get this moving truck inside
00:11:35No problem
00:11:39Stop her!
00:11:40Anyone who lets Avery leave today is getting their pay docked too!
00:11:43You haven't paid your termination fee in full, Avery
00:11:45Until you do, not a thing from your shop leaves the premises
00:11:49My deposit more than covers the penalty
00:11:51I'm not paying you anything extra
00:11:54Sir, let them pass
00:11:57Whoever lets her through can pack up and leave
00:11:59The contract is clear
00:12:01The penalty comes out of my deposit
00:12:02I'm moving my things and you have no right to stop me
00:12:05That applies to a normal termination
00:12:07What you're doing now is causing trouble on purpose
00:12:10And breaching the lease in bad faith
00:12:16You put that oven there just to mess with me, didn't you?
00:12:19Fine
00:12:19We don't need small-time tenants like you anyway
00:12:22Get out
00:12:23But you're paying the penalty in full
00:12:25And your deposit stays with me until I feel like releasing it
00:12:30Ryan, do you really think you've got me trapped?
00:12:33Yes
00:12:33I do have you trapped
00:12:36To tell you the truth
00:12:37Once you move out
00:12:39Mrs. Blake is taking over both your cake shack
00:12:42And the unit next door to turn them into a flagship store
00:12:47Your leaving is perfect
00:12:49She's moving in right away
00:12:50And it saves me the trouble of pushing you out later
00:12:53You're not going anywhere, Avery
00:12:55That truck doesn't leave this property without my written permission
00:12:58Stop here right now
00:13:06Who dares stop me from leaving?
00:13:12Who dares stop me from leaving?
00:13:16Avery, don't do anything stupid
00:13:18This is a society ruled by law
00:13:20If any of you lay a hand on me, I'm calling the police immediately
00:13:25Police?
00:13:26Perfect
00:13:29Then take a good look at what this is
00:13:32For two years
00:13:33You scammed us with fake maintenance, cleaning, and air fees
00:13:37Did a single cent went to the mall's account?
00:13:40No
00:13:41It went straight to your wife's personal card
00:13:43Admit it, Ryan
00:13:44You're taking kickbacks
00:13:47You...
00:13:47You're talking nonsense
00:13:49These are fake
00:13:50Then call the cops
00:13:52Let them decide if they're forged
00:13:55You, you, get over here
00:13:57Help me tear up every one of these photos
00:13:59Don't leave a single one behind
00:14:02Tear them up now
00:14:04If you don't, you're fired
00:14:10Avery, I recorded everything
00:14:12Mr. Cole blocked us from leaving just now
00:14:15And tried to extort cash from us
00:14:17That counts as extortion, right?
00:14:22Wait, wait
00:14:23This is just a misunderstanding
00:14:25Let's not do this, Avery
00:14:26We go back years
00:14:28I'll settle it right now
00:14:29The penalty gets ducted from your deposit
00:14:31I'll have the remaining funds sent to you tomorrow
00:14:33Not tomorrow
00:14:34Transfer it now
00:14:35Now?
00:14:37Accounting is already off work
00:14:38Then pay it out of your own pocket first
00:14:40You've pocketed plenty anyway
00:14:44Okay, okay
00:14:45I'm transferring it now
00:14:49If you'd been this quick earlier
00:14:51This would have been over already
00:14:52You made me waste money hiring all these tough guys
00:15:02Oh, and Mr. Cole
00:15:03Don't worry about the oven on the third floor
00:15:06Leave it for Ms. Blake to cook up a brain
00:15:08Since she's clearly lacking one
00:15:11You
00:15:12Mr. Cole, how is the shop cleanup going?
00:15:15I'm still waiting to move in
00:15:16Don't worry, Mrs. Blake
00:15:17Avery is gone
00:15:18The space is vacant
00:15:19And you can move in whenever you want
00:15:21Good
00:15:21The Starship T flagship store
00:15:23Officially opens in three days
00:15:25Don't get cocky, Avery
00:15:27Without this mall, you're nothing
00:15:28Once Ms. Blake's flagship store launches in three days
00:15:31I'm going to watch your business burn to the ground
00:15:36Ms. Carter, bringing in Maison Velour
00:15:39Your bakery, the gym, and the tech club all at once
00:15:42You practically handed me a dream tenant package
00:15:45Mrs. Foster
00:15:46I'm here today to finalize a few details
00:15:48So we can fast track our contract with Aurelia Square
00:15:50And get everything signed
00:15:51Ms. Carter, please go ahead
00:15:53As long as I can do it, I will surely fully cooperate
00:15:57First, we need our floors cleared within 24 hours
00:16:01We move in tomorrow, complete setup and testing within three days
00:16:04And begin soft opening at the same time
00:16:07Not a problem at all, Ms. Carter
00:16:08Since we've only been in our soft opening for a week
00:16:11Most of our units are still available
00:16:13We've been looking for high caliber tenants to anchor this property
00:16:17I'll prioritize your request immediately
00:16:19So your move in and opening go off without a hitch
00:16:22The old mall across the street may occupy a prime location
00:16:25But its facilities are aging and its management is weak
00:16:27Aurelia Square's real advantage is its property management
00:16:30Thank you, Mrs. Foster
00:16:32Second, regarding the rent and property management fees
00:16:34I'd like to confirm with you again
00:16:35The rent will be exactly what we discussed before
00:16:38Six months rent free, 20% off rent afterward
00:16:40And all management fees wavered
00:16:42We absolutely won't short charge you
00:16:44Thank you, Ms. Foster
00:16:46I guarantee you that within a month
00:16:48The customer flow we bring to Aurelia Square
00:16:50Will make this deal well worth it
00:16:51Just look outside
00:16:53At least half of Riverton Gallery's weekend foot traffic
00:16:55Across the street is there for your businesses
00:16:58Once you leave, that place becomes an empty shell
00:17:02But I heard that Ms. Blake, who just moved in
00:17:04Has quite a background
00:17:09But I heard that Ms. Blake, who just moved in
00:17:12Has quite a background
00:17:13Oh, is that so?
00:17:15She's not an ordinary person
00:17:16She's an influencer with 3 million followers
00:17:18Ms. Foster, where did you get that news?
00:17:23Here, this is her account
00:17:24She's been posting for days
00:17:26Building hype for her move into Riverton Gallery
00:17:28Wait, the Chloe Blake?
00:17:30The homewrecker influencer who got famous off some sugar daddy?
00:17:33Her drama was legendary
00:17:34The real woman came out and completely destroyed her online
00:17:36She was the laughingstock of the internet
00:17:38Does she really think launching a physical shop
00:17:40Will magically clean up her reputation?
00:17:41The internet never forgets
00:17:43So that's why she's rushing to move in
00:17:44She's afraid the hype won't wait for her
00:17:46Mrs. Blake comes with her own online traffic
00:17:48And her fans are sticky
00:17:49If she opens at River Gallery
00:17:50Plenty of them will show up
00:17:52She won't be easy to beat
00:17:53Fans lining up is not enough to keep a business alive
00:17:55Exactly
00:17:56An influencer built on capital and hype
00:17:58Really thinks opening a tea shop
00:17:59Means she can run a real business?
00:18:00Our boss started from a street stall
00:18:02And built a real business step by step
00:18:03Even so, Ms. Carter
00:18:04Look at the scale of her publicity
00:18:05On the day of her opening
00:18:06There's likely to be some major move
00:18:08Major move?
00:18:10Let's go, Mia
00:18:11Since they're setting up a giant performance
00:18:13We'd better make sure our own stage is set to outshine them
00:18:24Ms. Blake, take a look
00:18:25I've already planned out the entire flagship store area for you
00:18:29Avery's old dessert cake shop will be turned directly into your lounge area
00:18:33Your store will be then 10 times classy than that shabby little shop of hers
00:18:36A small sign business owner like her thinks she can be compared to me
00:18:39I heard after she moved out
00:18:41She settled into Aurelia Square next door
00:18:43What?
00:18:44Avery moved into Aurelia Square?
00:18:46But Avery is just a small shop owner
00:18:48Without Riverton Gallery, she's nobody
00:18:50You're the one with 3 million followers
00:18:52You stepping into real business is playing on a completely different level
00:18:54Of course
00:18:55With Riverton Gallery as prime location
00:18:58And steady foot traffic on top of that
00:18:59We're an unbeatable combination
00:19:01We could open a second location in less than two months
00:19:04And a whole chain within a year wouldn't be a problem
00:19:06Then we need to build serious hype
00:19:08And make Starsap Tea blow up on opening day
00:19:10Ms. Blake, I have an idea that will guarantee Avery gets no business at all
00:19:14On opening day, you can train Spealth Planner listeners
00:19:18Good
00:19:19Do it exactly as you said
00:19:21Avery, just wait
00:19:22The day Starsap Tea opens will be the day your business goes bankrupt
00:19:28Why is Mason Valaine closed?
00:19:33The fourth floor is shut down
00:19:37Even the fifth floor is closed
00:19:39Why are they all closed?
00:19:55Natalie, why did your store suddenly close when everything was fine?
00:19:58Oh, Mr. Cole
00:19:59I'm traveling with my family
00:20:01So the store is taking a few days off
00:20:03It won't affect anything
00:20:08Liam, why is your gym closed?
00:20:10I went back home to visit my parents
00:20:12There's no one to watch the gym
00:20:16Ethan, what's with your place?
00:20:17Why are the doors shut?
00:20:19Oh, Ryan, my friend is getting married
00:20:21So I'm going to attend the wedding
00:20:25So it all happened at once
00:20:27What a bunch of short-sighted idiots
00:20:28They're giving up prime business hours to travel, visit family, and attend weddings
00:20:32Their brains must be flooded
00:20:34Fine, let them go
00:20:35The second Starsap Tea opens, this place will be packed
00:20:38They're missing the best sales window of their lives
00:20:40They will regret it
00:20:45On the family on the sand floor has shut down, down dune to poor man at Lee
00:20:50Today, the Starsap Chop flagship portal having grand opening
00:20:54Buy one on everything
00:20:59Film another one and make sure you capture that sign clearly
00:21:02We'll post it in a bit
00:21:04Let everyone know that Avery's shabby little store is finished
00:21:08And my Starsap Tea is opening
00:21:11Of course, Ms. Blake
00:21:12I'll make sure this one is crystal clear
00:21:16B.O.O.? That's not bad
00:21:18I've followed her for two years
00:21:19I have to support her
00:21:23Mrs. Blake, your influence is incredible
00:21:26Of course
00:21:27Online, I attract fans
00:21:29Offline, I attract walk-ins
00:21:30A loser like Avery could never compete with me
00:21:33You dominate both online and offline, Ms. Blake
00:21:35You truly are a genius at real business
00:21:38At least you know what to say
00:21:39Wait, the group chat just sent a message?
00:21:42What?
00:21:43Then what are we still doing here?
00:21:44Let's go, let's head over together
00:21:48What's going on?
00:21:49Why are they all going across the street?
00:21:50And they refunded their orders?
00:21:52Mrs. Blake, don't worry, I'll find out what happened
00:22:00Avery, your plan worked like a charm
00:22:02Everyone from Starsap Tea is literally running over to our store
00:22:05This woman is disgusting
00:22:07She's actually using such LOST tactics to promote herself by stepping on our store
00:22:13Let her shout
00:22:14The higher she climbs, the harder she falls
00:22:16Mia, write a message
00:22:18Say, to everyone who has supported us
00:22:21Because our former property management raised our rent maliciously
00:22:24And cut our power to force us out
00:22:25We have officially moved from our old location
00:22:27Our new store is on the third floor of Oradia Square across the street
00:22:31To thank you for waiting
00:22:32Existing members get double stored value this month
00:22:35And everything is 50% off
00:22:37Map and renovation photos hitting the group chats in three minutes
00:22:41Got it, Avery?
00:22:42She went through all that trouble playing cheap little tricks
00:22:44And ended up giving our store a round of free publicity
00:22:46Avery, you're an absolute mastermind
00:22:51No way
00:22:52How does Avery's cake shop have this many people?
00:22:59Hey, buddy, do you know what's going on here?
00:23:00Is this a grand opening or something?
00:23:02You're a new customer, right?
00:23:04This is Avery's shop
00:23:05Which just moved from Riverton Gallery across the street
00:23:08Why are there so many people for a store relocation?
00:23:13Check it out yourself
00:23:14Avery told the group that the previous property management
00:23:16Savaged her with rent hikes and power cuts to force her out
00:23:18She had to scramble to move here
00:23:19We're all loyal customers
00:23:20So we're here to show her some real support
00:23:22No wonder I went to buy cake yesterday and they were closed
00:23:24Turns out property management forced them out
00:23:26Exactly
00:23:26This is basically gangster behavior
00:23:28Support Avery
00:23:29The environment of Orillia Square is much better
00:23:31I've long disliked how shabby the opposite side is
00:23:34But I heard a star soup tea just opened across the street today
00:23:37And they're doing a buy one get one free promotion
00:23:39Avery has a promotion running too
00:23:40For the grand opening
00:23:42Old members get double stored value
00:23:44And everything is 50% off
00:23:46But that store is opened by an influencer
00:23:48So what if she's an influencer?
00:23:50I just walked past
00:23:51And that star-sip tea influencer was splashing paint and calling other people low end
00:23:55She's shameless
00:23:55We're absolutely not drinking there
00:23:57Exactly
00:23:57We stand with Avery
00:23:59Let those crooked property managers and rotten capitalists watch us walk out
00:24:05How... how did this happen?
00:24:07How could Mrs. Blakes' store fail to beat a woman like Avery?
00:24:12What is going on?
00:24:13Weren't those three stores only closed for a few days?
00:24:15How did they move here too?
00:24:20What is going on?
00:24:22Weren't those three stores only closed for a few days?
00:24:25How did they move here too?
00:24:27Hey man, wasn't Maison Valet supposed to be closed for renovations?
00:24:31Not at all
00:24:32I was just there today buying a Mother's Day gift for my mom
00:24:34They've got a promo going 30 off per gram of gold and the place is packed
00:24:39Wait, has Pulse Fitness also moved here?
00:24:42They sure did
00:24:42Brand new machines
00:24:44Much better experience than the old place
00:24:51What about Nexera Tech Club?
00:24:53Did they move here too?
00:24:55Yeah, they moved
00:24:56All the equipment has been upgraded
00:24:575090 graphics cards plus 4K 3D holographic projection
00:25:01It's insane, you should go try it
00:25:07So much for traveling
00:25:08So much for visiting family
00:25:10All four of you teamed up to lie to my face
00:25:14It was Avery?
00:25:15She pulled a dirty trick on me?
00:25:17I'd like to see what kind of benefits she gave those three stores
00:25:25This suits you perfectly
00:25:27Since we just moved into the new store today
00:25:30I'll give you another discount on the craftsmanship fees
00:25:35Mrs. Bennett, didn't you say you were going on a trip?
00:25:38Why are you so busy here?
00:25:39A short trip, same day return
00:25:41Mr. Cole, you came all the way from across the street for this
00:25:45Is there a problem?
00:25:46Don't play dumb
00:25:47I saw the poster
00:25:49You and Avery planned this whole move together, right?
00:25:51Thank you
00:25:52Have a good day
00:25:54Mr. Cole, plan together sounds ugly
00:25:57I run my business, and I'm free to move wherever I want
00:26:01Let's be honest
00:26:02What did Avery offer you?
00:26:04We'll give you double
00:26:04On top of that, we'll cut your rent in half
00:26:06And give you three extra months rent free
00:26:08How does that sound?
00:26:10Oh my, Mr. Cole, how generous of you
00:26:12But I've already moved
00:26:13And I don't want to go through all that trouble again
00:26:15Besides, the foot traffic here at Aurelia Square
00:26:16Is no worse than across the street
00:26:18Why would I bother moving back?
00:26:20Mrs. Bennett, don't throw my generosity back in my face
00:26:22And force my hand
00:26:23You packed up and left before your lease was up
00:26:25That is a blatant breach of contract
00:26:27Here's the termination fee
00:26:28Count it, not a cent short
00:26:29I, Natalie Bennett, do business by the rules
00:26:32Whatever I owe, I pay
00:26:33I'm not short on that kind of money
00:26:35You have no vision
00:26:36Riverton Gallery is an established mall with real history
00:26:40If you come back
00:26:41Enough, Mr. Cole
00:26:42I paid the termination fee
00:26:44And I'm not interested in your empty promises
00:26:46I'm busy here
00:26:47Have a good day
00:26:47Ma'am, come take a look at this one
00:26:49It just arrived
00:26:50I'm a grateful old woman
00:26:51I'll go find Liam
00:26:53Let's see who can give him a bigger space than Riverton Gallery
00:26:57I don't believe he'll be this ungrateful too
00:27:12Mr. Carter
00:27:13I thought you said you were shutting down temporarily to reorganize
00:27:16Wow, you certainly moved back
00:27:19Plans changed
00:27:19Come on, Mr. Carter
00:27:21Don't lie to me
00:27:24What did Avery give you?
00:27:25I don't know what you mean
00:27:26I'll be direct
00:27:27As long as you move back to Riverd Gallery
00:27:28Your rent will be cut in half
00:27:30All management fees will be waived
00:27:31And the first three months will be rent-free
00:27:33We're all business people here
00:27:34That offer is good enough, right?
00:27:36No conditions will make me move back
00:27:38Are you worried moving back will be too much trouble?
00:27:40I'll get people to move everything for you
00:27:42And I'll cover all the costs
00:27:43I made myself very clear
00:27:44I'm not moving back
00:27:46Anything else?
00:27:47Mr. Carter
00:27:48You moved out before your contract actually ended
00:27:51You're looking at 15 grand in penalties
00:27:53Minimum
00:27:55Legal, come here
00:27:58Mr. Carter
00:27:59The mall has seven major fire safety violations
00:28:02Including inadequate hydrant pressure
00:28:04Right outside your doors
00:28:05Since they failed safety standards
00:28:07They are officially the ones in breach of contract
00:28:10What nonsense are you talking about?
00:28:13We can settle all of this in court
00:28:16Fine
00:28:17You're ruthless
00:28:19Ungrateful fool
00:28:20One day
00:28:21You'll come crawling back to me
00:28:22Next one
00:28:24I refuse to believe I can't win back one little club
00:28:34Ethan, I'll get straight to it
00:28:36Bring Nexora Tech Club back to Riverville Gallery
00:28:39Name your conditions and they're yours
00:28:41Not moving
00:28:44You won't even hear my offer?
00:28:46Mr. Cole
00:28:47Don't waste your breath
00:28:48Since I moved here, I never plan to move back
00:28:52Nothing you say will change that
00:28:53Your contract wasn't over
00:28:55And you moved anyway
00:28:57That's a breach
00:28:58Can you even afford the penalty?
00:29:01Penalty?
00:29:02Mr. Cole
00:29:03Take a look at this first
00:29:05Article 17 of your mall's contract states that
00:29:08Party A must guarantee stable 24-hour power supply
00:29:11How many times did you cut our electricity?
00:29:14Should I have a lawyer calculate the penalties and see who owes whom?
00:29:18You're lying
00:29:21Mr. Cole
00:29:21Stop making a scene
00:29:25Have a good day
00:29:26I won't see you out
00:29:27Damn it
00:29:28A bunch of fools who don't know who calls the shops
00:29:30They'll learn
00:29:33Something's wrong
00:29:33This is all wrong
00:29:35I offered such good terms
00:29:37And none of them were tempted
00:29:38And their reasons for refusing were all the damn same
00:29:42There has to be something wrong here
00:29:48Hello
00:29:49Help me investigate the four stores that just moved into Arania Square
00:29:53I want the owner's backgrounds
00:29:55Social connections
00:29:56And business registration information fully checked
00:29:59I need the results within three days
00:30:06Avery
00:30:06I want to see what kind of trick you're playing on me
00:30:15Miss Blake
00:30:16I found out what happened
00:30:18It's all Avery's doing
00:30:19Her again
00:30:20Look
00:30:21She maliciously has smeared us in a member group of 5,000 people
00:30:24All her fans followed her to Aurelius Flemmer across the street
00:30:27She seriously thinks she can cross me and get away with it?
00:30:30And she also brought Maison Gilaire on the first floor
00:30:33The gym on the fourth floor
00:30:35And the tech club on the fifth floor over there with her
00:30:39What?
00:30:40All four stores moved together?
00:30:43Yes
00:30:43I personally went to ask them
00:30:45Those three are determined to follow her
00:30:47And no matter what terms I offered
00:30:49They refused to move back
00:30:51Miss Blake
00:30:52Avery must have used some dermatitis
00:30:54What, did she crawl into bed with them?
00:30:56Or give them hidden shares?
00:30:58I'm not sure
00:30:58I've sent someone to investigate
00:31:00What I can confirm
00:31:02Is that she spent a lot of money preparing for this opening day
00:31:06How much capital can someone running a shabby dessert cake shop impossibly have?
00:31:10I have plenty of money to play with her
00:31:13Exactly
00:31:13Your strength speaks for itself
00:31:15But right now relying on fans doesn't seem to be working very well
00:31:18Do you have any other methods or resources?
00:31:20Good thing I kept one move in reserve
00:31:22Tomorrow, I'll show those people across the street
00:31:25What real explosive popularity is
00:31:27Oh, Ryan came to my store today
00:31:31The first thing he offered was half off rent
00:31:34Three extra months rent free
00:31:37And double whatever benefits I was getting
00:31:39He came to me too
00:31:41Pretty much the same offer
00:31:42Same
00:31:43He offered quite a lot
00:31:45So, did any of you feel tempted?
00:31:47To be honest, those terms did sound pretty tempting
00:31:50Yeah, I was this close to being tempted
00:31:51Just this close
00:31:52But it was only worth listening to
00:31:54Nothing more
00:31:54So, do you regret it?
00:31:56No regrets
00:31:57We're family
00:31:58No condition can make us move back
00:32:00Wow, you're all pretty in sync
00:32:08Avery, bad news
00:32:09All the foot traffic is rushing over to Star Subteam
00:32:14What?
00:32:24Oh my God
00:32:25He looked at me
00:32:26He looked at me
00:32:27Hurry, take a picture for me
00:32:29I need to be in the same frame as him
00:32:33Miss Blake, this move is brilliant
00:32:35The second these buff influencers showed up
00:32:37The foot traffic exploded
00:32:38Of course
00:32:39My network, Chloe Blake's network
00:32:42Is not something cake shalers can compare with
00:32:44Right
00:32:45I had people look
00:32:46Everyone from Avery's place is running over here
00:32:48Even the owner came over
00:32:51Oh, Avery, taking a day off today?
00:32:53Is the store empty?
00:32:55Avery, now you've seen it
00:32:57This is what real opening day traffic looks like
00:32:59All I've seen is someone doing whatever it takes for foot traffic
00:33:02Jealous, huh?
00:33:03Makes sense
00:33:04Miss Blake can bring in this many handsome influencers with one finger
00:33:07What do you have to say?
00:33:07So hiring a few influencers to stand here is supposed to be impressive?
00:33:10Avery's dessert cake shop has been open for years
00:33:12Our reputation was earned one loyal customer at a time
00:33:15Reputation?
00:33:16Popularity rules now
00:33:17How long do you think those regulars can keep you alive?
00:33:18Be smart and close early
00:33:19Enough, Mr. Cole
00:33:20If she wants to stay open, let her
00:33:22She loses money every day she operates anyway
00:33:24They're all who overestimate themselves
00:33:25Don't go too far
00:33:26Running a real business isn't about who gets hotter in the short term
00:33:28It's about who lasts longer
00:33:30Fine, let's see how long you last
00:33:31Just try not to go completely bankrupt
00:33:33Trying to force this place to stay open
00:33:34Perfect, let's see who ends up losing everything first
00:33:44Hey, hey, don't go
00:33:45Look at X
00:33:51Damn, this is way too wasteful
00:33:53Do people lose all shame just to chase celebrities?
00:33:55I'm never going to this store again
00:33:57Let's go to Avery's place
00:33:58An established or cake shop is still more reliable
00:34:03Wow, Avery
00:34:04You literally predicted this
00:34:08Avery, their store is even more popular than ours was yesterday
00:34:11People buy so many drinks
00:34:13How do we compete with this?
00:34:15The more they buy, the easier this becomes
00:34:18What do you mean?
00:34:19Go film where those bulk-bought drinks end up
00:34:21Whether they drink them, throw them away, or throw them straight out
00:34:24Record it and post it online
00:34:26Then let the crowd judge them
00:34:28I get it
00:34:29People online absolutely despise this kind of fake hype and waste
00:34:33Once we leak the proof, they're completely finished
00:34:36I'll go shoot it, right now
00:34:40Avery, Miss Blake lost both her business and her followers
00:34:44She dug her own grave
00:34:46I said it before
00:34:47A real business can't rely only on fans
00:34:50Fans can lift you to the sky
00:34:52But they can also slam you into the ground
00:34:58Look at this
00:35:00Ryan, the internet is completely turning on me
00:35:04What happened to your guarantee?
00:35:06You said this store would make us a fortune
00:35:08And we'd be opening a chain within a year
00:35:11Well, look at the results
00:35:13Damn it
00:35:14Who could have known your three million followers would be this useless?
00:35:18Now that something get wrong, she's blaming it all on me
00:35:22Mrs. Blake, I didn't think it would turn out like this
00:35:25Don't give me that
00:35:27If you can't clean up this mess, I'm terminating release right now
00:35:29I'm not going down with you
00:35:31Calm down
00:35:31Those top traffic sharps are gone
00:35:33And the mall's numbers are already way down
00:35:35If more tenants leave, I'm finished
00:35:38Ryan, look at this yourself
00:35:41Since those stores moved out
00:35:43How much has the mall's foot traffic dropped?
00:35:45If this continues, you can stop being the property manager
00:35:49Senator Grant, I'll fix it as soon as possible
00:35:51Please give me one more chanquin
00:35:53You have half a week to fix this foot traffic disaster
00:35:57Fail, and you're demoted
00:35:58Ryan, did you hear what I said?
00:36:00I said if you can't solve this problem, I'm terminating the lease
00:36:03The mall can barely pull a crowd anymore
00:36:05If Ms. Blake walks too, Mr. Grant will destroy me
00:36:09Ms. Blake, please don't rush
00:36:11Give me two days, and I will solve the problem
00:36:15Fine
00:36:15I'll give you two days
00:36:17If you can't solve it, don't blame me for turning on you
00:36:22Look at this
00:36:23If you don't come up with something, Avery is launching new products again
00:36:26Ms. Blake, I have a plan
00:36:28In less than three days, I'll make sure there isn't a single person in front of Avery's store
00:36:41Where's your manager? Get out here!
00:36:43Sir, may I ask what happened?
00:36:46After eating your desserts, I had vomiting and diarrhea
00:36:48Today I'm exposing this unethical business
00:36:51We're from the Riverton Daily
00:36:52What is your response to this customer's food poisoning accusation?
00:36:55I've run this store for years, and food safety has always been my top priority
00:36:59Every process and every ingredient is strictly controlled
00:37:02What you're describing should not be possible
00:37:33Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
00:37:35What flavor and what size?
00:37:37Mango mousse, original flavor, 70% sugar, plus a box of cheese squares
00:37:40He even named the item and flavor that clearly
00:37:43What else can they say now?
00:37:45No more excuses!
00:37:46Compensate them, apologize, and just close the business until you're fit to open!
00:37:51Then tell me, what time did you come to the store to buy the dessert?
00:37:54I came yesterday a little after three in the afternoon
00:37:56A little after three yesterday afternoon was exactly when the supplier delivered the cream
00:38:00Neo was busy in the back kitchen, and I personally handled orders at the register
00:38:04I remember every customer who came in during that time
00:38:07I have never seen you before
00:38:09You never came into my store
00:38:11Your business is so busy, and you have so many customers every day
00:38:15It's normal that you don't remember me
00:38:22Words alone prove nothing
00:38:23Mia, pull up the store's fair security footage from around three yesterday afternoon right now
00:38:28Okay, Aubrey
00:38:32Look at the screen
00:38:33Every person who came in or out around 3 p.m. yesterday is recorded, and he never entered the store
00:38:42I might have remembered it wrong
00:38:44That's fine
00:38:46Your memory can lie, but the mall's common area security footage can't
00:38:50The security footage shows you did come to this floor, and you did buy dessert, but you never entered my
00:38:55store
00:38:56Tell the truth
00:38:57Which store did you actually buy it from?
00:39:00I already said I remembered it wrong
00:39:02I won't bring this up anymore, isn't that enough?
00:39:04You came here and made inaccurate claims about my store
00:39:07And I have the right to resolve this through proper channels
00:39:10Tell me who gave you the information and where you actually bought the food
00:39:13And we can settle this calmly
00:39:16I didn't eat anything from the store
00:39:18I bought milk tea from Ms. Blake's Star Sipped Tea at Riverton Gallery
00:39:21It made me sick
00:39:22But Ms. Blake said
00:39:24She said she'd pay me to come here and make trouble
00:39:28That's outrageous
00:39:29Star Soap Tea actually tried to frame another store
00:39:31That is disgusting
00:39:32Their own product had problems, and they still tried to frame someone else
00:39:35Get this online, everyone needs to see what Star Soap Tea did
00:39:40Ryan, how did it go?
00:39:41Don't worry Ms. Blake, I just saw that her store has turned into total chaos
00:39:45Once the reporters expose it, Avery's store must be getting destroyed online right now
00:39:50Good, let me see how people online are cursing her now
00:39:53What is it Ms. Blake?
00:39:55Did they tear Avery apart too hard?
00:39:57Ryan, look carefully!
00:40:01Who are they cursing here?
00:40:08Star Soap Tea made someone sick with their own product and still blamed someone else
00:40:11Disgusting
00:40:12Framing a competitor?
00:40:14That is completely shameless
00:40:15Zero integrity
00:40:17I'm never going to Star Soap Tea again
00:40:18Blocked
00:40:19Damn it
00:40:20That man actually came forward to clear Avery's name
00:40:23Now my reputation is completely ruined
00:40:25Ms. Blake, don't panic
00:40:27We still have a way to recover
00:40:28I already expected this might happen, so I prepared a backup plan in advance
00:40:33What kind of backup plan?
00:40:36Will this method work?
00:40:38It will definitely work
00:40:38Isn't this how everyone does damage control now?
00:40:40Trust me, there won't be a problem
00:40:42It might even create reverse publicity for Star Soap Tea
00:40:44Fine, I'll listen to you
00:40:48Avery, check this out
00:40:49Mrs. Blake is already trying to write her reputation online
00:40:53Pretty quick, huh?
00:40:55This again?
00:40:55Letting a temporary worker take the blame?
00:40:58If apologies worked, why would we need the police?
00:41:00Star Soap Tea is dead to me
00:41:01Previously framed Avery's desserts and now shifting blame
00:41:04There's something wrong with her character
00:41:05Unfollowed
00:41:05You predicted exactly
00:41:06She really found a scapegoat and claimed it was an individual employee's personal behavior
00:41:09And that the employee has been fired
00:41:11She's even acting wronged
00:41:12Like she's also a victim
00:41:13That's hilarious
00:41:14Does she think everyone on the internet is dumb?
00:41:16People online aren't stupid
00:41:18Her follower camper keeps dropping
00:41:20And the comments under that video are all scolding her
00:41:22Ryan, Ryan, let's see how you strike back now
00:41:25Damn it
00:41:27Why aren't people online buying it anymore?
00:41:29This is completely over now
00:41:31Mr. Cole
00:41:32I found out who Avery really is
00:41:34Stop keeping me in suspense
00:41:36Say it
00:41:37Guess what?
00:41:38Avery runs Avery's dessert cake shop
00:41:39Mason Bilar is owned by her mother
00:41:41Hulse Fitness is run by her husband Liam
00:41:43And next year a tech club belongs to her younger brother, Ethan
00:41:45What did you say?
00:41:46The whole family?
00:41:48Are all of them her people?
00:41:54What did you say?
00:41:56The whole family?
00:41:58Are all of them her people?
00:42:00It's absolutely true
00:42:04I checked Avery's business registrations and public records
00:42:08The registered owners of those storps are Avery's mother, husband, and younger brother
00:42:14Damn it!
00:42:15I nearly lost my voice offering them prime terms
00:42:19And they still walked away
00:42:21They've been playing me this entire time
00:42:24This makes things difficult for us now
00:42:27Difficult?
00:42:28Not at all
00:42:30This actually works for me
00:42:32I'll wipe them out all at once and save myself the trouble
00:42:36We'll bring in more influencer-backed upscale stores like Starship Tea
00:42:40And turn Riverton Galleria into a high-end mall
00:42:46We'll completely outclass that dump across the street
00:42:50Let's see who still goes over there then
00:42:52Brilliant
00:42:54Mr. Cole, that move is brilliant
00:42:56This is practically a blessing in disguise
00:43:01Mr. Cole, we have a problem
00:43:03What are you panicking about?
00:43:05Mrs. Blake's Starship Tea seems...
00:43:08Seems like it's about to move out
00:43:09Let's go
00:43:10I want to see what stunt she's pulling now
00:43:21Mrs. Blake, what are you doing?
00:43:24This is all because I listened to your terrible idea
00:43:29You told me to push an employee out
00:43:32To take the blame and apologize
00:43:34And the internet didn't buy it at all
00:43:38Mrs. Blake, come on
00:43:39Every business gets hate
00:43:41You're an influencer
00:43:43You know bad publicity is still publicity
00:43:46It's better than being ignored
00:43:47Fine, what move do I have left?
00:43:51Avery's cakes are basic
00:43:53If we fly in this beverage master from Europe
00:43:56Our status goes through the roof
00:43:58Her pathetic little dessert shop
00:44:00Won't even be worthy of tying their shoelaces
00:44:06Fine, I'll listen to you
00:44:07We'll gamble on this one last move
00:44:13Ryan, did the store have been packed everyday teeth days?
00:44:16I'm where customer flow join you stabilized
00:44:18You really do have a way
00:44:19That's because you're willing to spend big, Mrs. Blake
00:44:21Why don't we hype up this high-end concept?
00:44:24We're set
00:44:24The post show stops
00:44:25Want to pay?
00:44:26Just wait to count the money
00:44:27Two cups of that fancy milk tea you're giving away for free
00:44:30Sorry, the giveaway ended at 12 o'clock
00:44:32From now on, it's regular price
00:44:34$15 per cup
00:44:36What?
00:44:37The promotion ended and you're really charging $15 per cup?
00:44:40I only tried it out of curiosity
00:44:41Now that I've tasted it
00:44:43A $15 milk tea is nothing special
00:44:45It tastes awful
00:44:46Honestly, your $15 drink is nowhere near as good
00:44:48As the five cake and coffee set across the street
00:44:50Who would be stupid enough to pay for this?
00:44:52Exactly
00:44:53You really dare to charge sky-high prices?
00:44:55If I know it tasted dumb bad, I wouldn't have taken it even for Reef
00:44:58I'm grateful freeloaders
00:45:00So once it's not free, they won't pay?
00:45:02They seemed happy enough drinking it before
00:45:04This might be because customers haven't adjusted to paying yet
00:45:08It'll get better in a couple of days
00:45:09What do you mean it'll get better in a couple of days?
00:45:11Look at the store
00:45:11There isn't even a single person here
00:45:13I spent so much money hiring a developer
00:45:15And running free promotions
00:45:16And this is what I get?
00:45:19Miss Carter
00:45:19Most of the customers in the store are gone
00:45:22Go ahead and deliver it
00:45:23Understood
00:45:26Miss Blake
00:45:27Someone asked me to give this to you
00:45:36Ryan, explain to me what this retail leasing plan is about
00:45:42Miss Blake, why are you so angry?
00:45:45This is just an ordinary mall leasing plan
00:45:47An ordinary leasing plan?
00:45:49Look at what it says
00:45:50Star Sip Tea will serve as the high-end representative brand
00:45:54To drive mall leasing and attract upscale customers
00:45:57Aren't you clearly using me as bait for your leasing campaign?
00:46:01No, Miss Blake, listen to me
00:46:03No wonder you didn't give the product developer time to research flavors
00:46:06And you kept pushing me to spend big on a high-end strategy
00:46:09So you were in a hurry to push me out as your experiment
00:46:14Ryan, you've been using me all along
00:46:17I was doing this for Star Sip Tea too
00:46:21Once we bring in high-end brands
00:46:23And raise the mall's level
00:46:25Your Star Sip Tea will be able to keep wealthy customers
00:46:29Stop selling the empty promises
00:46:31Look for yourself
00:46:32These are my real losses
00:46:33The cost of free promotions
00:46:35Raw materials, labor, and renovations
00:46:37In less than half a week since opening
00:46:39I'm down over 220 grand
00:46:40Are you going to compensate me for these losses?
00:46:42How can you blame me, Miss Blake?
00:46:45I worked my ass off pulling favors
00:46:47And building connections for you
00:46:49You can't ask me to cover your losses
00:46:52That's just the market
00:46:53And I don't control the market
00:46:55Who else is going to compensate me?
00:46:58You promised me a franchise
00:46:59I have evidence that you intentionally cut Avery's power and jacked up her rent
00:47:07If you don't pay up, I'll expose you
00:47:10You're the one who begged me for a solution
00:47:13Because you were desperate for fast profit
00:47:15And now you're blaming me?
00:47:17If you're expired ingredients
00:47:18And employ abortion get out
00:47:20It's not clear which of us goes down first
00:47:25Ryan, how dare you threaten me?
00:47:28I'll fight you for this
00:47:33Ryan, you used me like a cash cow
00:47:36I won't let you get away with this
00:47:39If you weren't that dumb
00:47:40If you weren't that dumb
00:47:41If you weren't that dumb, I couldn't have used you
00:47:48Oh my god, Starship's owner is fighting the mall manager
00:47:51I've disliked them for a long time
00:47:53If it weren't for them, Avery's dessert cake shop wouldn't have moved out
00:47:56Let them tear each other apart
00:47:59They both deserve it
00:48:06That's for lying to me
00:48:08You crazy woman
00:48:10Losing money drives you insane
00:48:12Wait, let them destroy each other
00:48:13Avery, your plan was flawless
00:48:15The second this video goes viral
00:48:17Starship tea is going to be completely cancelled
00:48:19And River Gallery will be ruined
00:48:21We can finally get some peace and quiet
00:48:24I only handed a knife to two people
00:48:25Who were already looking for their own downfall
00:48:32Ryan, look at this yourself
00:48:34You got into a physical fight with Ms. Blake in the lobby
00:48:37And the video is all over the internet
00:48:39You have completely humiliated Riverton Gallery
00:48:44Mr. Grant, please let me explain
00:48:45You promised me
00:48:47Picking Avery out and bringing in Ms. Blake would upgrade this mall
00:48:51Now Starship tea is failing
00:48:54Its reputation is trash
00:48:56And you're standing here like nothing happened?
00:48:58Mr. Grant, you misunderstood
00:48:59This was all part of my strategy
00:49:01Strategy?
00:49:02Go on, tell me what strategy this is
00:49:04I never liked Ms. Blake in the first place
00:49:06She was a troublemaker who dragged down the mall's reputation
00:49:09Now that she's collapsed
00:49:10We can use this chance to remove that tumor
00:49:12And restart our leasing strategy
00:49:13I don't care what scheme you claim this is
00:49:16Bring foot traffic back within one month
00:49:18If you can't, get out
00:49:20Mr. Grant, you can count on me
00:49:21One month, I'll fix it
00:49:27Mr. Cole, this is the list of tenants for rents
00:49:29Rent increases organized according to your instructions
00:49:32Riverton Gallery has low foot traffic
00:49:34Because the tenants aren't high-end enough
00:49:36They're all small independent tenants dragging down the level
00:49:39Good
00:49:39Go raise the rent one by one according to this list
00:49:42Mr. Cole, our reputation is bad right now
00:49:44Tenants are already nervous
00:49:45If we raise rent, they might all leave
00:49:47In my mall, I decide whether rent goes up
00:49:50What I'm doing now is screening, not catering
00:49:52There is no room for negotiation
00:49:52All independent tenants get a 30% rent increase
00:49:54If they don't pay within one week, clear them out
00:49:57Mr. Grant finds out
00:49:58I'll handle Mr. Grant
00:50:00Once I screen out the up-scare tenants
00:50:01And the foot traffic comes back
00:50:02Mr. Grant will only listen to me
00:50:04You just do as I say
00:50:05Just wait
00:50:06I'll soon turn Riverton Gallery into a high-end mall Avery
00:50:08When that day comes Avery
00:50:10Even if your whole family gets on their knees and begs me
00:50:13I will never let you back
00:50:17What's taken so long to collect rent?
00:50:20What exactly am I paying you for?
00:50:25Mr. Cole, stop stammering, spit it out
00:50:30Mr. Cole, you should see this yourself
00:50:37Women's clothing store, lease termination request
00:50:40That lousy shop barely sells anything in a day
00:50:43Good riddance
00:50:49Snack shop, lease termination request
00:50:51The grease smell from that place is awful
00:50:54I already thought it lowered our standard
00:50:56Let them leave
00:50:58Ryan Accessories, Stationery, Beauty Stores
00:51:02Every single one wants out
00:51:06Mr. Cole, every small tenant filed to leave
00:51:10None of them will pay the higher rent
00:51:15Fine
00:51:16Let them leave
00:51:18Let all of them leave
00:51:20I was just thinking it would be troublesome
00:51:22To force them out
00:51:23Now they're leaving on their own
00:51:25Saving me the effort
00:51:28I'm going to completely refresh Riverton Gallery and bring in truly high-end tenants
00:51:36Avery can only fool small-time tenants like them
00:51:39She dragged them to Aurelia Square and thinks that means victory?
00:51:43And what do we do?
00:51:46Just wait and see
00:51:47Once I turn Riverton Gallery into a high-end mall
00:51:50Those low-end shops at Aurelia Square will go out of business sooner or later
00:51:55Avery will be left with nothing too
00:52:00By the way, what is the research on the high-end brands I asked for?
00:52:05Mr. Cole, don't worry
00:52:06I've researched everything
00:52:09There's a premium accessible luxury women's fashion brand
00:52:12An imported beauty brand
00:52:14A high-end floral studio
00:52:15Two premium light meal concepts
00:52:18And one high-end maternity and baby store
00:52:21Have you contacted all of them?
00:52:23Yes
00:52:23They all express preliminary interest in cooperation
00:52:26They just want to do an on-visit first
00:52:31Excellent
00:52:32As long as we successfully sign these high-end tenants
00:52:35We can revive the mall's foot traffic
00:52:38And completely crush Aurelia Square
00:52:54Mr. Grant, what brings you here?
00:52:58Ryan, you useless idiot
00:52:59All the small clents ran off
00:53:02And you didn't bring in a single high-end talent
00:53:04Is this how you do your job for me?
00:53:06Mr. Grant, I'm working on a solution
00:53:08You know Avery has already expanded her store?
00:53:10A day cake shop and night bar concept
00:53:13The business is booming
00:53:15Aurelia Square's foot traffic is quickly
00:53:17Mr. Grant, give me a little more time
00:53:19Three days, Ryan
00:53:20Attendance and traffic
00:53:21Fail and you're finished
00:53:29Please, all of you, don't go
00:53:32I was wrong
00:53:34I shouldn't have raised your rent
00:53:35I shouldn't have pushed you
00:53:37Now you know you were wrong
00:53:39Where was this earlier?
00:53:41Yes, yes
00:53:41I was confused
00:53:42I was a bastard
00:53:43I'll cancel the rent increase immediately
00:53:45Not only will I stop the increase
00:53:46I'll cut rent by 50%
00:53:48And all management fees will be waived
00:53:50A 50% reduction?
00:53:52Mr. Cole, you change your face faster than people turn pages
00:53:56I, Ryan Cole, swear to God
00:53:58If I go back on my word, may lightning strike me
00:54:01From now on, I'll cooperate with you properly
00:54:04And never make things difficult again
00:54:07We'll talk it over
00:54:08Moving shops is a hassle after all
00:54:11No problem
00:54:12Take your time discussing it
00:54:15I'll wait here for your answer
00:54:17No matter how long it takes
00:54:20I'll wait
00:54:31Mrs. You're finally back
00:54:34How did the discussion go?
00:54:36Have you decided to stay?
00:54:38Mr. Turner
00:54:39Cole, we discussed it all day
00:54:41In the end, we decided
00:54:44We won't move after all
00:54:46Unless you agree to the following conditions
00:54:49Name them
00:54:51Whatever the conditions are, I'll agree
00:54:53The conditions are
00:54:54Full rent exclusion
00:54:57Full renovation coverage
00:54:58And an additional $15,000
00:55:01In emotional distress compensation
00:55:04For each store
00:55:05Free rent is no problem
00:55:06Full renovation coverage is no problem
00:55:09Compensation
00:55:10Compensation can be discussed too
00:55:12Name a number
00:55:13I'll borrow the money if I have to
00:55:20Ryan, you really are stupid to the core
00:55:23We were messing with you
00:55:24Couldn't you tell?
00:55:28Miss Turner
00:55:28I'm begging you
00:55:30I'm on my knees
00:55:31I'll slap myself if that's what it takes, okay?
00:55:35I'll do anything you want
00:55:37As long as you come back
00:55:38I'll work like a servant for you
00:55:40I was wrong
00:55:41I was really wrong
00:55:43Ryan, give up
00:55:44We would rather change careers
00:55:45Than stay in Rivertown Galea
00:55:53Good thing you arranged everything in advance
00:55:56Otherwise, some tenants might really have been fooled back by
00:56:00Ryan's sweet talk
00:56:02This should be Ryan's final ending, right?
00:56:05He's completely collapsed
00:56:06That's still too easy on him
00:56:14This is evidence that Ryan misappropriated my funds
00:56:17Pulsified leasing accounts
00:56:18And repelled employee wages
00:56:20Sended anonymities to Mr. Grant at Rivererton Gallery
00:56:23Make absolutely sure he receives it
00:56:26Consider it done
00:56:38What's going on?
00:56:39Police cars just stopped downstairs
00:56:41Looks like they came from Riverton Gallery across the street
00:56:44I heard Ryan got arrested
00:56:46He misappropriated public funds
00:56:48And embezzled a lot of money
00:56:50That property manager?
00:56:51The one who forced all those tenants out?
00:56:55Serves him right
00:56:56Someone like that should have been arrested long ago
00:56:59Avery, this feels so satisfying
00:57:01This is what happens when someone is ungrateful
00:57:04And burns the bridge after crossing it
00:57:06Bless
00:57:07He earned it
00:57:11Huh, what kind of day is this?
00:57:14Why is she here?
00:57:15We're a guest
00:57:24Mrs. Blake, what brings you here?
00:57:29What are you here for?
00:57:31To support our business?
00:57:32I'm afraid we're not blessed enough to serve such an honored guests
00:57:36Turn left at the door
00:57:37Take care
00:57:38Wait
00:57:40I know a secret
00:57:41It has to do with your family
00:57:45What is it?
00:57:49I need to speak with Avery alone
00:58:01Go ahead
00:58:02What secret?
00:58:04Actually
00:58:05Back then
00:58:06Ryan wasn't so determined to drive you out
00:58:08Only because of my kickback
00:58:09Oh?
00:58:12Because
00:58:14Someone paid him the sum of money
00:58:16And ordered him to get you out of Riverville Gallery
00:58:18Who?
00:58:19I don't know exactly who it was
00:58:21But I heard him on the phone calling that person
00:58:24Mr. Carter
00:58:27Are you sure?
00:58:29I'm sure
00:58:31I heard Ryan say on the phone
00:58:33Mr. Carter
00:58:33Don't worry
00:58:34I'll make sure that woman gets out
00:58:38Why are you only telling me this now?
00:58:41Avery, I know I'm not a good person
00:58:43But I don't want to take the blame for this
00:58:44After Ryan got arrested
00:58:46He pushed all the responsibility onto me
00:58:48And said I was the one who told him to cut your power
00:58:51Now my sugar dad has against me because of Ryan
00:58:53And I have nothing left
00:58:56You sued Starship Cha for damning Brad and reputation trites
00:58:59Could you show mercy in stopping from frozen my account?
00:59:03Dropping the lawsuit is impossible
00:59:06But if you're willing to testify in court
00:59:08And identify that Ryan was acting under someone's instruction
00:59:11I can consider a settlement
00:59:14You...
00:59:15Mrs. Blake
00:59:15Grown-ups answer what they do
00:59:17Consider it carefully
00:59:29Mom
00:59:29Has Liam's father
00:59:33Returned to Riverdale?
00:59:35So you found out after all
00:59:42So it was your father who ordered Ryan to drive me out?
00:59:47Yes
00:59:48Why?
00:59:49To him
00:59:50Your shop is a disgrace to the family
00:59:52He wants you to give it up
00:59:54Stay home
00:59:55Or take a pointless position at his company
00:59:58Embarrassing?
00:59:59I make money with my own hands
01:00:02How embarrassing is that?
01:00:05Avery, you know what he's like
01:00:07He's old-fashioned and extremely controlling
01:00:14What about you?
01:00:16Did you know this all along?
01:00:19Avery, I'm sorry
01:00:20I really didn't know he would go this far
01:00:24Have him come see me tomorrow
01:00:27Avery
01:00:29If he doesn't come, we get divorced
01:00:34So, you're finally willing to see me?
01:00:40Mr. Carter, you've got some good tricks up your sleeve
01:00:42Women who don't know their place require harsher lessons
01:00:46I told you
01:00:47Marrying into the Carter family means staying out of the public eye
01:00:51That pathetic little shop
01:00:52That pathetic little shop of yours doesn't even make enough in a year to pay for one of my cars
01:00:56That's why I moved it to Aurelia Square
01:01:00Now its annual net profit can probably buy ten of your cars
01:01:05Sharp tongue
01:01:06You think moving here means you've won?
01:01:08I know the developer of Aurelia Square
01:01:10With one from me, you'll still have to get out
01:01:13Is that so?
01:01:15Then you may be disappointed
01:01:20Mr. Carter, I'm not a tenant of Aurelia Square now
01:01:23I'm a shareholder here
01:01:30Mr. Carter, don't play such low tricks again
01:01:33Save your cheap tricks for someone else, Miss Mr. Carter
01:01:36It really lowers your status
01:01:38Have a nice day, and find your own way out
01:01:44Avery, I'm sorry, I should have gone earlier
01:01:48You don't need to say more
01:01:50Liam, I don't blame you
01:01:54Avery, I knew you were the kindest
01:01:59We should spend some time apart
01:02:02You want to divorce me?
01:02:04Not divorce
01:02:05We need to separate and calm down for a while
01:02:08You need to think clearly about whether you are Daniel's son
01:02:12Or Avery's husband
01:02:15When you have the answer, come find me
01:02:19Okay, I'll wait for you
01:02:39Avery, the turnover of our day cafe and night bar concept store has hit a new high again this month
01:02:46Good work, next month everyone gets a bonus
01:02:50Thank you Avery!
01:02:51If we keep this up, we can really consider opening a branch store and piss off those who look down
01:02:56on us
01:02:56Don't rush to get proud
01:02:58First, run the store in front of us well and take good care of every customer
01:03:02Only when the foundation is solid, it's when the building rises high
01:03:06I know Avery, I'm just imagining it a bit early
01:03:15Liam is here, you guys talk, I'll go clean up the plates first
01:03:22I made your favorite dish
01:03:24Avery, I've already quit my job at my dad's company
01:03:27What about the gym?
01:03:28I've handed over to my apprentice to manage
01:03:30I've opened a sports goods company
01:03:33Without relying on the family resources I started from scratch
01:03:36You're sure about this?
01:03:38I'm sure, I am Avery's husband
01:03:40I was before and I will be in the future
01:03:43Fine, let me taste what you cooked first
01:03:46She's mentioned you several times
01:03:49Okay
01:03:55Avery, the company has signed two big orders this month
01:03:58At this rate, we'll be able to recup our investment by the end of the year
01:04:01Nice
01:04:03Looks like the effort paid off
01:04:07Liam, you're off work too
01:04:09You've worked hard
01:04:10Come on, let's go home
01:04:12I'll make you a late night meal
01:04:14Thank you, mom
01:04:21Liam
01:04:22I hear entrepreneurship is tough
01:04:25You sure you don't want to join me instead?
01:04:27I'm good
01:04:28Starting my own company is exhausting
01:04:30But I have freedom
01:04:32I like that
01:04:33Alright, ambitious
01:04:34Then I hope you become a big boss soon
01:04:36And protect me
01:04:38Life may test the ones who refuse to give up
01:04:41But it never truly lets them down
01:04:43But it never truly lets them down
01:04:46Cảm ơn các bạn đã theo dõi.
