00:00:00All right, I know you're drunk. I'm already at your hotel room door.
00:00:08Does your girlfriend know you're here with me?
00:00:10Don't say her name right now.
00:00:17That voice, I've heard it in my dreams for ten years.
00:00:21My boyfriend dumped me yesterday, my client got me wasted tonight,
00:00:25and now the people next door are having the best night of their lives.
00:00:27I hate the universe!
00:00:30Relax, she'll never know. Girls like Stella always believe what they want to believe.
00:00:34Chloe, I said stop talking about her.
00:00:39Stella, why do you look like you just saw a ghost?
00:00:44Because I think I just heard one.
00:00:50What are you talking about?
00:00:51That's Adrian.
00:00:52Adrian Blackwood? You're Adrian? The man who's supposed to marry you?
00:01:00I'm f***ing that door down. No! No, Stella! He's cheating on you!
00:01:04If I open that door, I'll have to see it.
00:01:10Maybe you need to. No. Not tonight.
00:01:18You just lied to her, didn't you?
00:01:21She trusts me.
00:01:23He didn't just cheat.
00:01:24He lied while I was standing on the other side of the wall.
00:01:41You just lied to her, didn't you?
00:01:44He once said that that seat was mine.
00:01:56Please tell me you're not doing something emotionally stupid.
00:01:59I'm watching him choose her in real time.
00:02:02Where are you?
00:02:03Outside Blackwood.
00:02:05Do you want me to come with a baseball bat or a lawyer?
00:02:08Neither. I just needed to know I wasn't crazy.
00:02:12Some men don't make promises.
00:02:14They just make you feel chosen.
00:02:18So does he.
00:02:20That little snake knows exactly what she's doing.
00:02:23Then stop protecting him.
00:02:26I'm not protecting him anymore.
00:02:30You're late.
00:02:34So are you.
00:02:35What does that mean?
00:02:39Tell me, Adrian.
00:02:41How long has my seat belonged to her?
00:02:48You're stalking my assistant now?
00:02:51No.
00:02:51That's your defense?
00:02:53Chloe posts everything.
00:02:55It doesn't mean anything.
00:03:00Then explain the hotel.
00:03:03Room 603.
00:03:05Last night.
00:03:06I called you.
00:03:07Stella.
00:03:08Your phone rang through the wall.
00:03:11I heard you.
00:03:12It wasn't what you think.
00:03:13Don't insult me!
00:03:14I was drunk.
00:03:15She took me there. I didn't plan it.
00:03:16You didn't plan to sleep with her, but you planned every lie after.
00:03:18It happened once.
00:03:21Once doesn't get her into your car.
00:03:24Once doesn't put my scarf on her body.
00:03:26Once doesn't make her wear the watch I bought you.
00:03:29You didn't make one mistake.
00:03:31You made a thousand choices.
00:03:34I love you.
00:03:38No.
00:03:38You love being loved by me.
00:03:44What are you doing?
00:03:46What are you doing?
00:03:46What I should have done.
00:03:47The moment I heard phone ring.
00:03:48You can't leave me over one night.
00:03:52I'm not leaving because of one night.
00:03:54I'm leaving because you came home and lied to my face.
00:03:57You owe me a chance.
00:03:59No.
00:04:00Adrian.
00:04:01You owe me ten years.
00:04:14You're not thinking clearly.
00:04:16I've never been clearer.
00:04:20You don't get to throw away ten years because of one mistake.
00:04:25It wasn't one mistake.
00:04:26It was a pattern.
00:04:30I said I'm sorry.
00:04:33You said it because you got caught.
00:04:37I was drunk.
00:04:39Were you drunk when you let her sit in my seat?
00:04:43Were you drunk when she wore my scarf?
00:04:50She's my assistant.
00:04:51I can't control everything she posts.
00:04:54No.
00:04:56You just enjoyed it.
00:05:00Where are you going?
00:05:01Anywhere you aren't.
00:05:02You're being dramatic.
00:05:06You cheated.
00:05:08You lied.
00:05:09You let another woman parade around in pieces of my life.
00:05:13And somehow, I'm the dramatic one.
00:05:21I love you, Stella.
00:05:22No.
00:05:23You love having me waiting at home while you play savior to someone else.
00:05:28If you walk out, don't expect me to chase you.
00:05:30I'm not asking you to chase me.
00:05:33I'm telling you I'm gone.
00:05:43Chloe, what happened?
00:05:56Mrs. Hayes?
00:05:59Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting.
00:06:01I'm not here for him.
00:06:04Oh, you must be Stella.
00:06:08Moving out already?
00:06:10That was fast.
00:06:11Stealing someone's boyfriend usually moves things along.
00:06:15I didn't steal anyone.
00:06:18Adrian makes his own choices.
00:06:21That might be the first honest thing you've said.
00:06:24I know this is hard for you.
00:06:26Adrian told me your history with his family is complicated.
00:06:29I mean, they took you in when you had nowhere to go.
00:06:32It must be scary losing that safety fet.
00:06:35Relax.
00:06:36I don't waste good coffee on trash.
00:06:39Why are you humiliating me?
00:06:40I was just trying to be kind.
00:06:51Adrian, please don't be mad at her.
00:06:53She's just hurt.
00:06:56What did you do?
00:06:58What did you do?
00:06:59Interesting.
00:07:00You didn't even ask what happened.
00:07:10Apologize to Chloe.
00:07:12You brought another woman into our bed and now you want me to apologize to her?
00:07:17Lower your voice.
00:07:19Why?
00:07:20Afraid your employees might find out their CEO lies better than he leads?
00:07:24I never wanted to hurt you.
00:07:27Then why were you wearing my scarf in his car?
00:07:31I didn't know it was hers.
00:07:35It was just a scarf, Stella.
00:07:38To you, maybe.
00:07:40But to me...
00:07:42To me, it was one more piece of my life you handed to her.
00:07:45Enough!
00:07:46You're embarrassing yourself!
00:07:48No, Adrian.
00:07:49I'm embarrassing you.
00:07:53Say you're sorry.
00:07:54Now!
00:07:56Touchy morning at Blackwood, huh?
00:08:04You okay?
00:08:08Who gave you permission to bully my employee?
00:08:10This is between me and Stella.
00:08:13Not when you humiliate her in public.
00:08:15Mr. Pierce, you don't understand.
00:08:17She attacked me first.
00:08:18Sweetheart, I bill by the hour.
00:08:20Don't waste it lying.
00:08:30What is this?
00:08:31A formal notice.
00:08:33Mrs. Hayes is here to retrieve personal property.
00:08:35Any interference will be documented.
00:08:37This is unnecessary.
00:08:41Cheaters always think paperwork is unnecessary.
00:08:43Watch your mouth.
00:08:44Make me.
00:08:46Logan, let's go.
00:08:48After you.
00:08:51I'd advise against touching her.
00:08:54Let her go.
00:08:55She's just trying to make you jealous.
00:09:04Different car.
00:09:05Different man.
00:09:07You always this arrogant?
00:09:08Only when I'm right.
00:09:11You carry emergency coffee now.
00:09:13I carry solutions.
00:09:15Coffee is one of them.
00:09:17Cry if you need to.
00:09:19I'll pretend traffic is fascinating.
00:09:22I'm not crying over him.
00:09:24Good.
00:09:26He doesn't look worth the mascara.
00:09:39Stella!
00:09:52Do you enjoy humiliating me today?
00:09:55That's what you think happened.
00:09:57You brought Logan Pierce to my company.
00:09:59No.
00:10:00He came because you cornered me in front of your employees.
00:10:04He wants you.
00:10:06And suddenly you care what another man wants?
00:10:11You're using him to punish me.
00:10:12You punished yourself.
00:10:15I made a mistake.
00:10:17But you're acting like I'm some monster.
00:10:19You let her mock me.
00:10:21Chloe is emotional.
00:10:22She didn't mean it.
00:10:25She wore my scarf.
00:10:27She sat in my seat.
00:10:28She called you Adrian in front of me.
00:10:30She meant every second of it.
00:10:32You're making her bigger than she is.
00:10:35No, Adrian.
00:10:36You made her important.
00:10:39If you leave tonight, I won't keep covering for you.
00:10:43Covering for me?
00:10:44People at Blackhood still think of you as family because I allowed it.
00:10:49Without me, you're just the girl my parents took pity on.
00:10:58For what?
00:11:01For finally sounding like the man you really are.
00:11:13What is it?
00:11:16Tell me she didn't take this from your safe.
00:11:22Tell me she didn't take this from your safe.
00:11:32That necklace was my mother's.
00:11:35Stella, calm down.
00:11:37Don't you dare tell me to calm down.
00:11:39I trusted you with the only thing my mother left me.
00:11:43And you let your mistress wear it.
00:11:45Don't call her that.
00:11:47That's what bothers you?
00:11:48Not that she stole my mother's necklace.
00:11:50Not that she sent me that photo, but that I called her what she is.
00:11:54I don't know how she got it.
00:11:56I'll handle it.
00:11:57Where are you going?
00:11:59To get back what's mine.
00:12:02It's late.
00:12:03Don't make a scene at my office.
00:12:07Your office?
00:12:08My mother's necklace is around her neck.
00:12:13There will be a scene.
00:12:22Stella, you really shouldn't be here.
00:12:24Take it off.
00:12:25Oh, this?
00:12:27Adrian gave it to me.
00:12:28That belonged to my mother.
00:12:30I didn't know.
00:12:31Adrian said it was just sitting in his safe.
00:12:36Did you give it to her?
00:12:38Adrian, I swear I didn't know.
00:12:40You said I could borrow something pretty for the gala.
00:12:43It was temporary.
00:12:45You opened the safe.
00:12:47Stella, it's a necklace.
00:12:48No.
00:12:49It was proof I trusted you.
00:12:53Take it off.
00:12:55Adrian, she's scaring me!
00:13:10Move.
00:13:11Not until you stop acting like this.
00:13:14She's wearing my dead mother's necklace and I'm the problem.
00:13:17I'll give it back.
00:13:18I just don't want her to touch me.
00:13:21Then take it off yourself.
00:13:23Ow!
00:13:24Ow!
00:13:24Adrian, it's stuck!
00:13:30Give it to me.
00:13:31I need you to promise this ends here.
00:13:33Excuse me?
00:13:34No posts.
00:13:35No lawyers.
00:13:36No public drama.
00:13:37Chloe made a mistake.
00:13:38She stole from me.
00:13:39And you got it back.
00:13:40You're protecting her.
00:13:42I'm protecting all of us.
00:13:43No.
00:13:44You're protecting your image.
00:13:46Do you know what a thief accusation against my assistant would do to my company?
00:13:50So my mother's necklace is less important than your stock price.
00:13:55Thank you for clarifying.
00:13:58Thank you for clarifying.
00:14:03Don't make me your enemy, Stella.
00:14:08You already did.
00:14:09I really didn't mean to hurt you.
00:14:12Yes, you did.
00:14:13And next time you touch anything that belongs to me, I won't ask nicely.
00:14:18That's in the off, Stella!
00:14:24Take it off!
00:14:27Adrian, she's scaring me!
00:14:28Take it off!
00:14:35Mrs. Hayes, your access has been suspended.
00:14:39By whom?
00:14:41Mr. Blackwood's office.
00:14:44Ma'am, if you don't have clearance, you'll need to leave.
00:14:48Stella.
00:14:49You froze my access.
00:14:51Temporarily. After last night, I think it's best.
00:14:53Best for who?
00:14:54For everyone. You need space.
00:14:56No. You needed to keep me away from Chloe.
00:14:58Stella, please don't make this harder.
00:15:00Adrian is just trying to prevent another incident.
00:15:02Another incident?
00:15:03Last night, you threatened me.
00:15:06You recorded me.
00:15:08Stella, go home.
00:15:10Home? You made sure I don't have one here.
00:15:13Ma'am, please.
00:15:15Touch her when your retirement plan becomes a lawsuit.
00:15:18Is that Logan?
00:15:21Miss me already, Blackwood?
00:15:22Stay out of this!
00:15:24Too late. You just turned this into a legal matter.
00:15:29You really think your new boss and his fancy lawyer can protect you from me?
00:15:40I think the truth will, and I'll make sure no one believes yours.
00:15:54For the lawyer, the car, or stopping you from committing a very elegant murder in the lobby.
00:15:58I wasn't gonna murder her.
00:16:00Good. Orange isn't your color.
00:16:02He knew what this meant to me.
00:16:04Then he knew exactly where to cut.
00:16:08You don't have to keep showing up for me.
00:16:10I don't do things I don't want to do.
00:16:12Lock your door.
00:16:13Call me if anything feels wrong.
00:16:15Bossy.
00:16:17Alive employees are my favorite kind.
00:16:28Ma'am, should we keep surveillance down here?
00:16:31Yes. Stay focused.
00:16:34I need a favor.
00:16:36Find out everything about Stella Hayes.
00:16:38Starting with where she's staying.
00:16:39How dirty do you want this to get?
00:16:42Dirty enough that no one believes a word she says.
00:16:50How did you find my address?
00:16:54I just wanted to talk.
00:16:56Then turn off your camera.
00:16:57Laura.
00:16:58I'm not recording you.
00:16:59You lie worse than Adrian.
00:17:01Why do you hate me so much?
00:17:03I don't hate you.
00:17:04I'm disgusted by you.
00:17:06I love him.
00:17:07You love his name.
00:17:07His money.
00:17:08His family.
00:17:09His last name.
00:17:11And yet he picked me.
00:17:13No.
00:17:13He lowered himself to you.
00:17:15Please stop!
00:17:16I'm not trying to take anything from you!
00:17:18Chloe.
00:17:19I know you grew up with him.
00:17:20I know his family took you in.
00:17:22But you can't use that to control him forever.
00:17:24You don't get to talk about my past.
00:17:26Then stop using it to ruin my future!
00:17:29Don't touch me!
00:17:46Don't touch me!
00:17:47My boss's ex won't stop befriending me.
00:17:49I'm scared.
00:17:50Who are some poor tooth smoke signs?
00:17:52She sounds insane.
00:17:53Isn't jealous fags-ass?
00:17:54Wait.
00:17:54The classic in the black woods was A.P. ever since?
00:17:57That makes sense.
00:18:06Stella Hayes!
00:18:07Did you harass Chloe last night?
00:18:08Are you using your history with the blackheads to pressure Adrian?
00:18:10Is it true you threatened his new girlfriend?
00:18:18Move.
00:18:19Did you threaten Chloe because Adrian chose her?
00:18:22Do you deny being obsessed with him?
00:18:27Oops!
00:18:28Karma spills!
00:18:31Stella!
00:18:32Any comments?
00:18:32Yeah!
00:18:33I have one!
00:18:38Logan!
00:18:39Don't look at them.
00:18:40Look at me.
00:18:41Every camera here just recorded harassment.
00:18:44Say one more word about her past, her family or her body and you'll hear from my lawyers
00:18:49before lunch.
00:18:50Are you two involved?
00:18:52She's under my protection.
00:19:03Did you call the reporter?
00:19:05She attacked me.
00:19:07I was scared.
00:19:08Why are you questioning me?
00:19:28Keep it on.
00:19:31I'm fine.
00:19:33You're shaking.
00:19:39I'm not him.
00:19:41If you say stop, I stop.
00:19:51Eyes up Stella.
00:19:59You always rescue women in elevators.
00:20:03Only the stubborn ones who refuse to admit they need rescuing.
00:20:06I didn't ask you to protect me.
00:20:08I know.
00:20:10That's why I'm asking now.
00:20:14Do you want me to step back?
00:20:23Get your hands off her!
00:20:25Do you want me to?
00:20:27No.
00:20:36You're making a mistake.
00:20:38I learned from the best.
00:20:41I came to fix this.
00:20:43Funny.
00:20:45Every time you say that, she ends up bleeding.
00:20:47This is none of your business.
00:20:48It became his business when you sent reporters to my office.
00:20:51I didn't send them.
00:20:59Chloe was scared.
00:21:00Chloe was scared.
00:21:00She posted out of fear.
00:21:02She cut out everything she said to me.
00:21:05Maybe she panicked.
00:21:06She edited, captioned, tagged three gossip accounts and pinned the worst comments.
00:21:11That's not panic.
00:21:13That's strategy.
00:21:14You know she did this on purpose.
00:21:16What I know is this scandal is hurting everyone.
00:21:20Everyone.
00:21:23Blackwood's board is asking questions.
00:21:25Investors are nervous.
00:21:27Chloe is getting death threats.
00:21:28And me.
00:21:31I got coffee thrown on me this morning.
00:21:34My childhood is treading like boss up.
00:21:37People are calling me a parasite because your mistress lied.
00:21:42Then make a statement.
00:21:44Say you misunderstood, Chloe.
00:21:45Say you overreacted.
00:21:48You want me to apologize?
00:21:49I want you to help stop this before it destroys more lives.
00:21:54You don't get to sacrifice her twice.
00:21:59Stay out of it, Logan.
00:22:00Make me.
00:22:02You came here to ask me to lie for the woman you cheated with.
00:22:13Say it again.
00:22:20You're recording me now.
00:22:23I'm learning to protect myself.
00:22:25From me?
00:22:27Especially from you.
00:22:30Bad idea.
00:22:40Stella.
00:22:45I hate that he can still hurt me.
00:22:47That doesn't make you weak.
00:22:49He gave her my things.
00:22:51My seat.
00:22:52My scarf.
00:22:53My mother's necklace.
00:22:55And now he wants my apology too.
00:22:58He doesn't get to take anything else.
00:23:01You say that like you can stop him.
00:23:03I can.
00:23:06But I'd rather help you destroy him yourself.
00:23:09Why?
00:23:10Because you're not a sad story, Stella.
00:23:12You're a warning.
00:23:21I can't use you to forget him.
00:23:23Then don't.
00:23:26When you kiss me again, I want you to mean it.
00:23:45Don't.
00:23:47I didn't say anything.
00:23:50You were thinking loudly.
00:23:52I was thinking you're terrible with keys when you're nervous.
00:23:55I'm not nervous.
00:23:59Good.
00:24:00Then you won't mind me standing this close.
00:24:11How about the kiss?
00:24:13The one you started.
00:24:14It was a mistake.
00:24:16No.
00:24:17It wasn't.
00:24:19A mistake is something you don't want to do again.
00:24:22You looked like you wanted to.
00:24:27Relax.
00:24:28I'm not collecting kisses from women who are bleeding.
00:24:31I'm not bleeding.
00:24:32You are.
00:24:34Just not where people can see.
00:24:36I don't know who I am without him yet.
00:24:41Then find out.
00:24:44I'll be nearby.
00:24:46Not in front of you.
00:24:47Not behind you.
00:24:49Nearby.
00:25:02Nearby.
00:25:10Is that blood?
00:25:12Don't touch anything.
00:25:15Daniel, get security footage now.
00:25:23I've caught you.
00:25:34We'll test the liquid.
00:25:36Could be animal blood, fake blood, anything.
00:25:40And the threat?
00:25:42We'll file a report.
00:25:44She doesn't need a report.
00:25:46She needs protection.
00:25:58You don't have to stay.
00:25:59I know.
00:26:00I'm staying anyway.
00:26:01Argue with me tomorrow.
00:26:02Tonight save your energy.
00:26:11Are you always this bossy?
00:26:14Only when someone sends blood to my employee.
00:26:16Employee?
00:26:17For now.
00:26:18Mmm.
00:26:20Mmm.
00:26:22Mmm.
00:26:23Mmm.
00:26:39That's not Chloe.
00:26:46Chloe used a middle man.
00:26:50There's more.
00:26:51Vanessa posted a teaser ten minutes ago.
00:26:53Tomorrow, I'm exposing the truth about the obsessed ex who terrorized an innocent girl.
00:26:58And trust me, her past is worse than you think.
00:27:02Stella, look at me.
00:27:05They're gonna turn my childhood into content.
00:27:07Then we turn their lies into evidence.
00:27:22Then we turn their lies into evidence.
00:27:24That's our proposal.
00:27:25No.
00:27:26That's our proposal with a cheaper price tag.
00:27:30That's impossible.
00:27:34No one leaves this room until we know where the leak came from.
00:27:40Only five people accessed the final deck after midnight.
00:27:44I was home by midnight.
00:27:45Your logon downloaded the full file.
00:27:47She didn't leak it.
00:27:49Logan, the system logs-
00:27:51Systems can be used.
00:27:52People can be framed.
00:27:56Wait.
00:28:02Adrian.
00:28:03How did Adrian get our proposal?
00:28:05Blackwood was an early investor before pulling out.
00:28:07Someone reactivated it last night.
00:28:10I traced the download path.
00:28:11The file was opened on a device registered to Chloe Tart.
00:28:15But here's the ugly part.
00:28:16Her device got access through Adrian Black's executive report.
00:28:20He gave her the key.
00:28:24This wasn't a leak.
00:28:27This was sabotage.
00:28:39Stella.
00:28:41Did you authorize Chloe to access Pierce Creative's proposal?
00:28:46Where did you get this?
00:28:48That's your first question.
00:28:52This is company property.
00:28:54You shouldn't have it.
00:28:55And Chloe should.
00:28:58Don't touch me.
00:29:00Chloe was helping me organize old project files.
00:29:02That's all.
00:29:05Old project files don't end up in a competitor's pitch.
00:29:09You don't know that she leaked it.
00:29:13Her device opened the file.
00:29:16Someone could have used her device.
00:29:18You'll defend her before you even ask what happened to me.
00:29:22Because every time something happens, you make it about Chloe.
00:29:26Every time.
00:29:28She wore my mother's necklace.
00:29:30She filmed me.
00:29:32Sent reporters after me.
00:29:35Let it him.
00:29:37And now she used your access to steal my work!
00:29:41You don't have proof she sent reporters.
00:29:43No.
00:29:44But I have proof you keep giving her weapons.
00:29:48Access.
00:29:49Protection.
00:29:50Excuses.
00:29:51My things.
00:29:52My name.
00:29:54My silence.
00:29:56What else are you going to hand her, Adrian?
00:29:58Adrian.
00:30:05Adrian.
00:30:05Is she accusing me again?
00:30:08Your device opened my proposal.
00:30:11I opened what you told me to open.
00:30:13You said they were old files.
00:30:15See?
00:30:17She didn't even know what it was.
00:30:21That's your defense?
00:30:23Why do you hate me so much, Stella?
00:30:26Because Adrian trusts me now?
00:30:30He gave you access to my work.
00:30:34Maybe he trusted me because I don't turn every problem into a public breakdown.
00:30:41You're waving company records around like you still belong here.
00:30:46I'm here because you stole from me.
00:30:48No, Stella.
00:30:50You lost something.
00:30:52There's a difference.
00:30:53You keep giving her weapons.
00:30:56I gave her work access.
00:30:59You're twisting it because you're angry.
00:31:03After everything his family did for you?
00:31:06You're trying to ruin his company?
00:31:10Maybe you just can't stand that Blackwood doesn't need you anymore.
00:31:15You're letting her say that?
00:31:18She's under a lot of pressure because of you.
00:31:21Because of me?
00:31:25I'm scared of what she'll do next.
00:31:28You need to stop.
00:31:32I'm done stopping.
00:31:35Stella.
00:31:36I'm done accusing.
00:31:37Next time.
00:31:40Next time, I'll sue.
00:31:45Don't threaten her.
00:31:48You're still doing it.
00:31:50If you drag Chloe into a lawsuit, I'll have to respond.
00:31:53Then respond.
00:31:59Some women lose a man and try to destroy his entire life.
00:32:12That's her. The ex from the viral video.
00:32:14I heard the Blackwoods took her in as a teenager.
00:32:19Messy.
00:32:20Very messy.
00:32:22You came.
00:32:23You asked me to.
00:32:25You don't have to face this alone.
00:32:33He brought her here.
00:32:37Mrs. Blackwood, thank you for having me.
00:32:42I didn't.
00:32:44Mom.
00:32:45Don't mum me.
00:32:46Not tonight.
00:32:49Chloe.
00:32:51I'm sorry.
00:32:52I'm sorry.
00:32:52I've just been dizzy lately.
00:32:55I didn't want to announce it like this.
00:32:59Announce what?
00:33:03I might be pregnant.
00:33:08Is it yours?
00:33:09I'm sorry, Stella.
00:33:11I know this hurts you.
00:33:20Answer me.
00:33:22Is the child yours?
00:33:27We're still figuring things out.
00:33:29Of course you are.
00:33:31Stella, don't do this here.
00:33:34I'm not the one who brought a pregnancy announcement to your mother's charity gala.
00:33:40I didn't mean to steal the spotlight.
00:33:43I just felt sick.
00:33:45You always know exactly where the spotlight is.
00:33:47Adrian, I can't do this.
00:33:52Adrian, step away from her.
00:33:57You brought scandal into my home.
00:34:00Into my event.
00:34:02And now you stand there protecting it.
00:34:04Mom.
00:34:05Chloe might be carrying my child.
00:34:11So he cheated and got the assistant pregnant?
00:34:15What about Stella?
00:34:17Old story.
00:34:18Men like him always move on.
00:34:25Stella, I never wanted to hurt you.
00:34:28But this baby is innocent.
00:34:31If there is a baby.
00:34:34Don't.
00:34:35You don't even know if she's pregnant but you're already defending her like I attacked a child?
00:34:40Because I know you hate her.
00:34:43I don't hate her enough to invent a pregnancy.
00:34:48Good.
00:34:49Because I hate liars enough to ask for proof.
00:34:56You okay?
00:34:57Define okay.
00:34:59Still sarcastic.
00:35:00Good sign.
00:35:04Why are you here?
00:35:05Your mother invited half of Manhattan.
00:35:07I'm the half with lawyers.
00:35:08This is Family Matters.
00:35:10Stay out of it.
00:35:11Family Matters?
00:35:12Who exactly is your family?
00:35:14Stella?
00:35:15Chloe?
00:35:16Or that so-called child?
00:35:18If you're pregnant, congratulations.
00:35:20We'll need the clinic name, doctor and report date.
00:35:33Stella?
00:35:34Are you okay in there?
00:35:38I saw your dress earlier.
00:35:40The zipper looked fragile.
00:35:42You mean after you touched it?
00:35:44I was just trying to help.

00:51:09the affair
00:51:10the fake pregnancy
00:51:11the stolen proposal
00:51:12or the cover up
00:51:13answer the question
00:51:14i had a personal relationship with chloe
00:51:16that was a mistake
00:51:18but i did not authorize fraud
00:51:20your executive account was used to restore chloe tate's access to restricted project files
00:51:25i didn't know she would misuse it
00:51:26but you gave it to her
00:51:27investors are asking whether our acting ceo used company power to protect his mistress
00:51:32every day less
00:51:33don't call her that
00:51:37that is what concerns you
00:51:39you used her trust
00:51:40you used her work
00:51:42you used her silence
00:51:44and when she stopped obeying
00:51:46you let the world tear her apart
00:51:49no
00:51:50you were protecting yourself
00:51:52i was trying to protect the company
00:51:54we will open a formal review of adrian blackwood's conduct
00:51:57and his fitness to remain acting ceo
00:52:00until then
00:52:01all executive privileges connected to chloe tain are frozen
00:52:04dad
00:52:05still think she's worth destroying your life for
00:52:10everyone is asking why stella hayes is so desperate to destroy the blackwoods
00:52:14maybe it's because they were the only family she ever had
00:52:17her mother left
00:52:19her father gambled her life away
00:52:21then the blackwoods took her in
00:52:23and this is how she repays them
00:52:25extensions out one by one
00:52:28daniel is preparing a defamation notice
00:52:32it won't erase what people already saw
00:52:35no
00:52:35but it makes them pay for looking
00:52:40sweetheart
00:52:41turn on channel six
00:52:44mrs blackwood
00:52:45is it true stella hayes was taken in by your family as a charity case
00:52:48no
00:52:50stella hayes is my daughter
00:52:51not by blood
00:52:52by choice
00:52:54and choice is the only kind of family that ever mattered to me
00:52:58but your biological son is now under investigation because of her accusations
00:53:02my son is under investigation because of his own actions
00:53:06stella owes us nothing
00:53:08i am choosing the truth over a cord
00:53:10and if i must lose a son to protect my daughter
00:53:13then my son should have behaved like one
00:53:21stella for days people have been talking about your past
00:53:25your relationship and the blackwoods
00:53:27why speak now
00:53:30because people have been telling my story like it's gossip
00:53:34it's not
00:53:34it's my life
00:53:36is it true your father gambled away your home
00:53:38too far
00:53:42yes
00:53:43he was violent
00:53:44he was drunk
00:53:45he made choices no child should have to survive
00:53:48but being hurt as a child did not make me a liar as a woman
00:53:51chloe tate claimed you used your history with the blackwoods to control adrian
00:54:02i didn't control adrian
00:54:04i trusted him
00:54:05there's a difference
00:54:06tonight your team provided evidence that chloe tate fabricated parts of her story
00:54:10do you want to respond to her directly
00:54:11chloe you wore my mother's necklace to hurt me
00:54:14you filmed me to frame me
00:54:15you faked a pregnancy to make the world hate me
00:54:17and you stole my work because you couldn't steal my life fast enough
00:54:19you're ready she decides
00:54:23are you alleging chloe tate sold your company's proposal to winston media
00:54:27i'm not alleging i'm proving and tomorrow the board will hear exactly how adrian blackwood helped her get access
00:54:43why is she here
00:54:44because you made me evidence
00:54:47and because your board invited adults
00:54:52proceed
00:54:54on the night pierce creative's proposal was stolen chloe tate's device accessed the file through an executive permission key
00:55:00my account was misused
00:55:07then let's look at the two-factor authentication
00:55:09did you approve it
00:55:11i thought it was for archived blackwood materials
00:55:15you didn't ask
00:55:21you trusted her with my work
00:55:26but not me with my own truth
00:55:28mr blackwood viewed the defamatory post 13 minutes after publication
00:55:32he did not request removal
00:55:34instead he texted chloe
00:55:36don't respond
00:55:37let it cool her down
00:55:38you watched them call me crazy
00:55:41and you thought it would calm me down
00:55:43adrian
00:55:43did you knowingly allow access to restricted materials
00:55:47and fail to correct defamatory statements
00:55:49i was trying to protect the company
00:55:51then this company needs protection from you
00:55:53effective immediately adrian is suspended as acting ceo
00:55:56you can't do this
00:55:57i just did
00:56:01you're destroying your own son

00:56:05i'm stopping him from destroying everything else
00:56:12mom
00:56:14i warned you not to hurt her
00:56:16so that's it stella cries
00:56:17and everyone forgets i'm your son
00:56:19stella cried
00:56:20because you broke her
00:56:21this review will extend beyond your ceo position
00:56:25your eligibility as primary heir
00:56:26is suspended

00:56:50no
00:56:51i need to see exactly who i escaped
00:56:54stella those were taken out of context

00:59:03no
00:59:05forever ended in room 603
00:59:09stella
00:59:09she said no
00:59:10you think you won

00:59:13he didn't take me
00:59:14i left
00:59:16because i don't want you anymore
00:59:43chloe tate
00:59:44i'm not talking without a lawyer
00:59:45good idea you'll need one
00:59:46we have a warrant to question you regarding harassment fraud and evidence tampering
00:59:49this is because of stella
00:59:50she's obsessed with me
00:59:51no this is because you paid a man to forge a pregnancy report
00:59:54sold stolen corporate materials and sent a blood threat to a woman's home
00:59:57vanessa handled the flowers
00:59:59paid by your card
01:00:00adrian gave me access
01:00:02yes
01:00:03yes
01:00:04and you used it
01:00:05made me do it
01:00:06he promised me everything
01:00:07he said
01:00:08stella was nothing without him
01:00:10chloe did you fake the pregnancy
01:00:11did you frame stella hayes
01:00:12i loved him
01:00:13i did all of this because i loved him
01:00:15no
01:00:15you did it because you wanted her life
01:00:30mrs hayes
01:00:31after everything that happened
01:00:32why should we trust your team to deliver
01:00:35because we didn't just survive sabotage
01:00:38we improved the strategy after it
01:00:41winston lowered the price by cutting risk controls
01:00:43that looks attractive for one quarter
01:00:46but the real cost shows up when something goes wrong and no one has a plan
01:00:50you don't need the cheapest partner
01:00:52you need the one still standing when the room catches fire
01:00:55this is emotional manipulation
01:01:02no
01:01:05emotional manipulation was stealing my work and hoping i'd be too broken to improve it
01:01:10we're awarding the contract to pierce creative
01:01:12thank you
01:01:13my team earned it
01:01:18still think you're just the girl they took in

01:02:06stella hayes you are infuriating
01:02:08brilliant
01:02:08impossible to scare

01:02:12you never did
01:02:12but if you ever want one beside you
01:02:13while you burn down every room that tried to cage you
01:02:15i'd like the job
