00:13Nessa, you're here.
00:14Gavin, we've been together for so long.
00:17You call this crappy cake a birthday gift?
00:19Nessa, over the past couple of years, I've been paying for your college tuition and living expenses.
00:24I don't have much money left.
00:26Tuition this, tuition that. How much of your money did I even spend?
00:30You keep bringing it up.
00:31I only get to sleep six hours a day. I've tried my best.
00:33But trust me, I'll make more money in the future.
00:36Future? What makes you think a top university graduate like me would stay with a delivery guy like you?
00:44What do you mean?
00:45Did I not make myself clear? I'll get nothing with you.
00:48My youth isn't for suffering with you.
00:54To be honest, I have a new boyfriend.
00:57Vanessa.
00:58Are you even human?
00:59I've had nothing good to eat or drink and worked day and night to put you through college.
01:03You want to dump me as soon as you graduated.
01:06Stop guilt tripping me.
01:07We both wanted it.
01:08You make it sound like I owe you.
01:12Fuck off!
01:13Gavin, all you're good for is being a delivery guy forever.
01:26It's fine. Life goes on.
01:29She catches the host's immense resentment and desire for wealth.
01:32Binding criteria met.
01:34Lady Aid cashback system has been successfully activated.
01:38I'm so pissed I'm seeing things.
01:56My phone's dead and I don't have cash.
01:58What should I do?
01:59Boss, give me a pack of those cigarettes.
02:03Looks like my high school classmate Gavin.
02:06Should I borrow him some money?
02:07He doesn't look very well off.
02:11Excuse me.
02:12Are you Gavin?
02:15I'm Paige Lawson.
02:16Your high school classmate.
02:18Do you remember me?
02:20Oh, it's you. What a coincidence. What's up?
02:23Will, I want to buy something but my phone is dead.
02:27Could you lend me a few bucks?
02:33Keep it all for emergencies.
02:35You don't need to pay me back.
02:43Congratulations, host.
02:45You spent 78 bucks to help Paige when she was in a bind.
02:48You'll receive a system reward of $78,000.
02:56So it wasn't a hallucination earlier.
02:58It's real.
02:59Lady Aid cashback system will help you.
03:01As long as the host helps women,
03:03the host will receive huge cashback rewards.
03:05When helping them,
03:06the more the host gives,
03:07the richer the rewards.
03:09Lady Aid,
03:10I just did such a small favor
03:11and got so much money.
03:13It seems that good days are finally here.
03:17Gavin,
03:18thanks a lot for earlier.
03:20Not a big deal.
03:20No problem at all.
03:23Yeah.
03:23What a coincidence.
03:26Is this your boyfriend?
03:28He looks pretty plain.
03:30He's my classmate.
03:32Megan, show some respect.
03:33I'm just joking.
03:35Look,
03:36this is the newest model my boyfriend bought me.
03:39Fully loaded.
03:40Tell him to step it up and get you one too.
03:43Megan,
03:44don't make it hard on him.
03:45He's just a delivery guy.
03:46It'd be easier for him to rob something than buy it.
03:50A delivery guy?
03:51Kevin,
03:52how did you know?
03:53How could I not know?
03:54He's my cousin.
03:56I know his situation all too well.
03:58For this phone,
03:59he'd be out there delivering food for months.
04:02I didn't expect that.
04:04No wonder you won't admit he's your boyfriend, Paige.
04:07He's just a delivery guy.
04:09You.
04:10Isn't it just the latest iPhone?
04:13Let's buy one.
04:14Oh, right.
04:15Whatever color you like,
04:17we'll get it.
04:19Also,
04:20Kevin,
04:21that fake Hulk of yours has a crooked dial.
04:24Next time you want to play rich,
04:26remember to buy a better date.
04:29Gavin,
04:29I know exactly your situation.
04:32Don't try to play the big shot just to pick up girls.
04:34You think you deserve her?
04:39None of your fucking business.
04:41What piece of shit?
04:42Let's see how you pay for it.
04:48Let's just forget it.
04:49There's no need to...
04:50I'm not sulking.
04:51We haven't seen each other in so long.
04:53I should give you a gift.
04:55Bring out the best phone you've got.
04:57Hello, sir.
04:58This is the newest iPhone.
05:01How much is it?
05:02It's $18,000.
05:03If you have a membership,
05:04you can get a discount.
05:05No need for a discount.
05:07Put it on my card.
05:15This is too expensive.
05:17No, no.
05:18I told you it's a gift for you.
05:19It's fine.
05:20Take it.
05:21The host spent $18,000 to help Paige.
05:24You'll receive a cashback of $18,000.
05:30Kevin, didn't you say your cousin doesn't have much money?
05:33He bought a phone for Paige Lawson.
05:35And her phone has better specs.
05:37It's just a phone.
05:38And he's acting like a big shot.
05:40No matter how much he flexes,
05:41he's still just a broke loser.
05:43Exactly.
05:44Kev buys me bags that cost $70,000 or $80,000.
05:48You broke loser,
05:49since you love showing off so much.
05:51Let's see you buy one, too.
05:53Are you done?
05:53Let's go, Gavin.
05:55She just reminded me.
05:57There's a bag shop next door.
05:58I'll take you to buy a new bag.
06:04This loser dared to take the bait.
06:07What a joke.
06:08Let's go.
06:18Gavin,
06:19you've already bought me a phone.
06:20Really, you don't have to get me the bag.
06:23Besides,
06:24I can't afford to pay you back.
06:26You don't have to.
06:27Just regard it as a reunion gift
06:29from an old classmate.
06:31But...
06:31No buts.
06:32Go on.
06:32Pick out a bag that you like.
06:38Faith, I'll just watch.
06:39Let's see how you get out of this one.
06:48You have great taste, miss.
06:50This is our newest arrival.
06:52It's $350,000.
06:54How much is it?
06:55$350,000?
06:57You'll take it.
06:59This bag is too expensive.
07:01You're so beautiful,
07:02so I'll get you a pricier bag to match you.
07:06We'll take it.
07:06Put it on my card.
07:08Is he gonna drop $300,000 on a bag for her?
07:10As if I don't know what he's really worth.
07:12He's just putting on an act with that card.
07:14Can he pay for it?
07:20Where did this guy get so much money on his card?
07:22Did he really buy a page a bag priced at $350,000?
07:25Why did she get that?
07:27I'm just his classmate,
07:29and we haven't spoken for so long.
07:31Yet he gave me a $350,000 bag.
07:36Wow.
07:38Valued customer, here is the VIP card.
07:40$55,000 in no minimum vouchers.
07:42Whenever you're free, please visit us often, sir.
07:45Okay.
07:45Let's go.
07:49Hope spent $350,000 to help Paige fight back Megan and Kevin.
07:54Reward, a globally limited edition sports car.
07:57The sports car has automatically spawned near the host.
08:00Please claim it.
08:04A global limited edition?
08:06Nice.
08:07This bag is way too expensive.
08:09How about returning it?
08:11Don't you like it?
08:12That's not it.
08:14Since you like it, just keep it.
08:17It's way too expensive.
08:19I don't know how to repay you.
08:25How about being my girlfriend?
08:31Why does Paige get a $350,000 bag?
08:34And that manager even gave out a card with a $50,000 voucher.
08:38Why didn't I get anything?
08:40To buy this bag, he probably emptied his savings.
08:43Who knows how many online loans he secretly took out.
08:46Yeah, that right.
08:48Paige.
08:50Your boyfriend is a delivery guy.
08:53How could he afford a $350,000 bag?
08:55Don't tell me to impress you.
08:57He drained his entire savings.
08:59So, can you afford a cab back?
09:01How about I have my boyfriend drive you?
09:04We have a car.
09:05Don't worry about us.
09:07Gavin, why are you still pretending?
09:09Where did you get a car?
09:11Oh, I remember.
09:12Are you talking about that tricycle you use for your deliveries?
09:20Oh, Gavin.
09:21Look at yourself.
09:22You are drowning in debt from online loans.
09:24All for a bag to pick up chicks.
09:26Why bother?
09:27Whether she'll want you is another question.
09:30If you had money, you'd be better off buying a car.
09:33It's better than driving a tricycle and making a fool of yourself.
09:40Even though you can't afford a car like mine, at least a minivan would keep you out of the rain.
09:45My car can't keep out the rain?
09:49Which car are you talking about?
09:50There's only one car right there.
09:53Can't you see it?
09:55You're killing me.
09:57Gavin, do you know what kind of car that is?
09:59At least make your lies believable.
10:01You could deliver packages your whole life, but can't afford a wheel on that car.
10:06Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.
10:07Paige, you'd better talk to your boyfriend.
10:08He's taking this bluff way too far.
10:11Honestly, no need to stoop to his level.
10:14Gavin, if you're broke, stop trying to show off in front of her.
10:17If that car is really yours, I'll even get on my knees and call you daddy.
10:27Let's go, Paige.
10:28I'll take you home.
10:30That car is his.
10:31Impossible.
10:32You must have rented it.
10:34Rented?
10:35Let's see if you can rent one yourself.
10:37I'm done wasting my breath on you.
10:39Don't bother us again.
10:40Ask for calling me daddy.
10:42I won't make you say it.
10:43I don't even want to claim you as my cousin.
10:45Let alone an ungrateful son.
11:13Paige, what do you think of that blind date?
11:15Mrs. Davis is waiting for your answer.
11:18Mom, I told you I'm not going on it.
11:20You're not?
11:20Then give me a reason.
11:25Because I have a boyfriend.
11:27His name is Gavin Thorne.
11:28We just finished shopping and are heading home.
11:33Hi, ma'am.
11:34I'm Gavin.
11:35I'm Gavin.
11:36Paige, you think your mom's a three-year-old who doesn't watch short dramas?
11:39Aren't fake boyfriends all the rage now?
11:42Don't try to fool me.
11:43Mom, he has my boyfriend for sure.
11:45Talk is cheap.
11:46If he's your boyfriend, prove it to me.
11:49Prove it?
11:50How are we supposed to do that?
11:52It's simple.
11:53You just need to kiss right in front of me.
12:05Do you believe us now, ma'am?
12:06Okay, okay.
12:07You're quite forward, young man.
12:09Great.
12:09In that case, I won't bother you two anymore.
12:11When you're free, visit us at home.
12:13Okay.
12:16Host has helped Paige resolve her marriage pressure.
12:20Given that the host sacrificed his own body, a critical reward has been triggered.
12:24Host will get a villa at the Pinnacle Estates, Estate One.
12:28Gosh, that works too.
12:32Wow, I saw everything just now.
12:39Wow, I saw everything just now.
12:41Nina, what are you doing here?
12:43If I weren't here, how could I have seen such a scene?
12:47Hey, Paige, you promised me to stay single together, but you got a boyfriend secretly.
12:52That's so unfair.
12:57Oh, I saw it in a magazine.
13:03It cost about $350,000.
13:05When did you get so rich?
13:07He bought this bag.
13:10Wow, you spoil her way too much.
13:13You're absolutely the perfect guy.
13:15If I could find a perfect guy like you, handsome and rich, that would make life complete.
13:21Paige, since you met such a perfect man, you should just marry him.
13:27Nina, what are you talking about?
13:29Well, we aren't even a real couple.
13:33Hello, I'm Nina Carson, Paige's best friend.
13:36Nice to meet you.
13:38Hello, I'm Gavin Thorne.
13:40Since you treat her so well in the future, if you ever want to know what she's up to, I'll
13:45let you know.
13:46With what you said, here's a $50,000 no minimum voucher for you.
13:51$50,000, no minimum spend.
13:54For me?
13:55Are you serious?
13:56Of course I am.
13:57Wow, Paige, where did you find such a perfect man?
14:01He's so generous.
14:02Even I'm benefiting from it.
14:04Well, I have some things to do, so I'll get going.
14:06Have fun.
14:07Yeah, be careful on the road.
14:08Okay.
14:18Come on, spill the beans.
14:20Where did you find such a total catch?
14:22He's handsome, rich, and so generous.
14:29Holy crap.
14:31The estate, one of the pinnacle estates, it's so luxurious.
14:36The view and the decor, even a TV drama wouldn't dare like this.
14:42This huge chandelier and this mahogany furniture.
14:47Sir, is this pure gold?
14:51It's all mine.
14:54This is so soft.
15:13Hello, sir.
15:14I'm your private villa butler, Sarah.
15:16Hello, sir.
15:17Whatever you need, just let me know.
15:21I'm a bit tired right now.
15:22I want to take a shower.
15:24Sure.
15:24We've already prepared hot water and toiletries for you.
15:27This way, please.
15:28Okay.
15:42Hello, sir.
15:44Hello.
16:03Hey, Gavin.
16:05Am I bothering you?
16:06No.
16:07What's up?
16:08Well, I think I dropped my ID card in your car.
16:12Oh, okay.
16:13I'll go check my car in a bit and then bring it to you.
16:16No, it's fine.
16:17I'm heading out with Nina later.
16:19I can just come pick it up.
16:21Okay.
16:21I'll text you my address then.
16:23Sounds good.
16:31Mr. Prescott, the villas here are absolutely stunning.
16:34They look like palaces.
16:35Of course.
16:36The people who can afford to live here are wealthy and powerful.
16:40They're people with serious connections.
16:42Even my dad and I aren't qualified to live here.
16:46Estate One in particular is the ultimate symbol of status.
16:49No matter how much money you have, you can't buy it.
16:53You need serious connections and status.
17:02Gavin, what are you doing here?
17:06Gavin, what are you doing here?
17:09Can you please just leave me alone?
17:11Do you have any idea how creepy you're being?
17:13You're just a delivery guy.
17:15We're not in the same league anymore, got it?
17:17Wait, you've got some nerve.
17:18When did I ever stalk you?
17:20Fake.
17:21Keep pretending.
17:22Nessa, is this your delivery guy ex-boyfriend?
17:26Mr. Prescott, please don't call him my ex-boyfriend.
17:29Saying it out loud embarrasses me.
17:37Listen, kid.
17:39Know what's good for you.
17:40Take this money, and from now on, stay away from Nessa.
17:47What makes you think I'd stalk a slut?
17:50Gavin, you broke loser.
17:51How dare you insult me?
17:53You useless piece of shot.
17:55If I hadn't taken pity on you and dated you back then, you'd go your whole life with no one
18:00noticing you.
18:01Who says no one would?
18:12How does a useless delivery guy like him end up with such a beautiful woman?
18:17Sorry about that.
18:18I wanted to meet you at the door.
18:20No worries.
18:21Wow, Gavin.
18:22You live in estate one of the pinnacle estates.
18:26Oh, Gavin.
18:27Gavin.
18:28I can't believe you paid people to put on a show for me.
18:31But your acting is just too pathetic.
18:34You claim to own this house?
18:35If the owners inside found out, begging on your knees wouldn't save you.
18:40Oh, really?
18:41I'm afraid if I knelt to them, they wouldn't be able to handle it.
18:46Can't handle it?
18:47Gavin, you really consider yourself the owner of estate one?
18:51Why wouldn't I be?
18:53Gavin, you are so clueless.
18:55Do you have any idea how prestigious that title is?
18:58It's beyond anything you could ever imagine.
19:01Exactly.
19:02Gavin, if you were the owner here, then I'd be the governor of southern state.
19:11Sir, the refreshments you ordered are ready.
19:13It is prepared to the highest standard.
19:15Please take a seat with your guests.
19:17What is the owner of estate one?
19:22The owner of estate one?
19:24Dad warned me about him.
19:25And I offended him for Vanessa?
19:27Impossible.
19:28You're just a delivery guy.
19:29How could you be the owner of estate one?
19:32Why is it impossible?
19:33Isn't the truth right in front of you?
19:36Mr. Prescott, tell them.
19:37Gavin is not the owner of the estate.
19:39Fuck off!
19:40Are you trying to get me killed?
19:41Mr. Prescott.
19:45Mr. Thorne, I'm so sorry.
19:47I was blind.
19:48I listened to this bitch's nonsense and offended you.
19:51I'm sorry.
19:52I'll get out of here right now.
19:54I'll stay out of your way.
19:55I'm sorry.
19:56I'm leaving right now.
19:57Mr. Prescott, wait for me.
20:01Thanks.
20:03Let's go inside and have some tea.
20:09Wow, Gavin.
20:10Your place is so huge and beautiful.
20:14It's just like a palace.
20:16Paige, you really know how to pick a boyfriend.
20:19But we're not boyfriend and girlfriend.
20:23If you like it, visit often.
20:25Miss Carson, please take a seat.
20:30By the way, Gavin, who was that woman just now?
20:35She's my first love.
20:37While she was in college, I paid for all her expenses.
20:40But after she graduated, she immediately stouted me in the back and cheated on me with another guy.
20:46How could there be such an awful woman?
20:49Gavin, Nina happens to be a lawyer.
20:52She can help you.
20:53You're a lawyer?
20:54I just joined Southport's largest firm, Covington Law Firm.
20:58Leave this matter to me.
20:59I promise I won't let her off the hook.
21:02And I'll leave it to you.
21:03I'll make her pay back every penny she bled from me.
21:05Drop money, drop.
21:11Hello, Mom?
21:12What?
21:12You're coming tomorrow?
21:13And you want Gavin and me to pick you up at the train station?
21:22This...
21:27Hello, ma'am.
21:28Don't worry.
21:28Tomorrow, Paige and I will pick you up at the station on time.
21:31Oh!
21:32Okay, okay.
21:33I got it.
21:34Yeah.
21:37I'm sorry for bothering you again.
21:39Nothing.
21:40Didn't I tell you?
21:41I've always loved helping others out.
21:43Especially you.
21:51Look.
21:52Oh, your daughter is here.
21:55Hello, ma'am.
21:56Oh, my.
21:57You must be Gavin.
21:58What a handsome young man.
22:00Thank you for the compliment.
22:02Detective Ho sacrificing himself
22:04to help Paige meet her mother as her boyfriend.
22:07Rewarding you with Lefebvre Restaurant's 80% shares,
22:10making you the majority shareholder.
22:12I get a reward for this, too?
22:15Paige, you have really good taste.
22:18Look at your boyfriend.
22:19He's handsome and polite.
22:20He seems very reliable.
22:23Mrs. Evans, when a woman looks for a boyfriend,
22:26just being good-looking won't get you far.
22:28These days, you need to have money.
22:30A car and a house are what really matter.
22:33Otherwise, the daily grind of life is tough.
22:37She's my neighbor from back home.
22:39She just talks like this.
22:40Don't take it to heart.
22:42Just look at my daughter, Chloe.
22:43Her boyfriend knows how to live a good life together.
22:47He's a manager at a top-tier restaurant
22:49making tens of thousands a month.
22:53Look, my daughter and son-in-law are here,
22:55and they drive a BMW.
23:03Mom, what are you talking about with Mrs. Evans?
23:06Don't always brag about Sean.
23:07It makes us look like a bunch of show-offs.
23:10You must be Paige.
23:11Chloe talks about you all the time.
23:13She said you've been friends since childhood.
23:15Let's grab a bite together later.
23:19Paige, let's go.
23:21Sean made a reservation at the Lefebvre Cafe,
23:23the highly exclusive one.
23:25Most people can't even book it.
23:27You'll definitely love it.
23:28Your guy here can come too.
23:33Lefebvre?
23:33Isn't that the restaurant the system just rewarded me with?
23:36Dude, what are you waiting for?
23:38It's not like you're paying.
23:44Hello?
23:45Hello, Mr. Thorne.
23:46I'm Arthur Davis from Lefebvre Restaurant.
23:48First, on behalf of all the staff,
23:49we'd like to welcome you.
23:50When is it convenient for you to visit us?
23:52All right, get everything ready.
23:54I'll be heading over there in a bit anyway.
23:58Ma'am, you must be tired after such a long ride.
24:02Paige, let's eat together after you.
24:05Let's go.
24:11Sean, it must cost a lot to eat here, right?
24:14Not that much.
24:15Only about $20,000 to $30,000.
24:17$20,000 to $30,000?
24:19Mrs. Evans, today, you get to enjoy the perks
24:22thanks to my son-in-law.
24:24Your son-in-law probably can't afford
24:26to take you to a place like this.
24:28Hey, how can you say that?
24:30Mom, forget it.
24:38Didn't Mr. Thorne say he'd be here soon?
24:40It's been 20 minutes.
24:52He's here!
24:53Quick!
24:53Everyone, go to private room 888
24:55to greet Mr. Thorne.
24:56Let's go!
24:59Everyone, order whatever you want.
25:03Sean, the food here is so expensive.
25:05We should just keep it simple.
25:07Ma'am, please don't worry about it.
25:09After all, I'm a manager here.
25:10It's just a meal, so we won't actually have to pay.
25:13Wow!
25:13Sean, you're amazing!
25:15I'll order the expensive ones.
25:18By the way, bro,
25:19I haven't asked where you work.
25:22I'm unemployed right now.
25:25Unemployed?
25:25Doesn't that make you a total loser?
25:28A beautiful woman like Paige being with you
25:30is just pure suffering.
25:33Bro, a man without a job just won't cut it.
25:36How about I get you a job as a doorman at our restaurant?
25:38Even though it's a doorman gig,
25:40the benefits here are actually pretty great.
25:42Paige, why don't you thank Sean
25:44on behalf of your boyfriend?
25:45Sean is only offering to help
25:47because you and I are good friends.
25:49Even for a doorman,
25:50I remember Lefebvre having strict requirements.
25:53Can you really just assign someone
25:55whenever you want?
25:56Of course.
25:57It just takes one word from me.
25:59Oh, then Supervisor Walsh
26:01is really good at abusing his power.
26:04Punk, what do you mean?
26:05Exactly.
26:06You're just a broke loser.
26:07I was nice enough to try and get you a job
26:09and this is how you talk?
26:11Chloe Davis, shut up.
26:12Linda Evans,
26:13look at your daughter's attitude.
26:14We invited you to dinner
26:16and helped this useless son-in-law of yours
26:18find a job.
26:19But instead of being grateful,
26:21you have the nerve to give us attitude.
26:24Attitude?
26:25What attitude?
26:26You guys were the ones
26:27looking down on us first.
26:29He's an unemployed loser.
26:31Am I wrong?
26:32Tom, why waste time talking to them?
26:34Since they don't appreciate it,
26:36let's just cancel the dinner.
26:38Tell them to get out.
26:39And don't say we don't care
26:40about our neighbors.
26:42We didn't even want it.
26:43Mom, Gavin, let's go.
26:44Why should we leave?
26:45Sit down.
26:45Why?
26:46Because this is my turf.
26:47If I tell you to get out,
26:48you get out.
26:49Really?
26:51Then try to make me leave.
26:52Oh?
26:53Punk, you're still acting tough, huh?
26:55What?
26:56Are you going to come hit me?
26:57This is my turf.
26:58So what if I hit you?
26:59Stop!
27:03Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang,
27:04what brings you here?
27:06I'm having dinner with my family.
27:08Mr. Thorne,
27:09it's an honor to have you here.
27:10Welcome, Mr. Thorne.
27:12Mr. Wang,
27:13are you mistaken?
27:14He's just an unemployed, broke loser.
27:16Shut up.
27:16This is the new chairman
27:18of Lefebvre restaurant,
27:19Mr. Gavin Thorne.
27:20Chair, chairman?
27:22No.
27:22Do you know whose turf this is?
27:26Mr. Thorne, I was wrong.
27:28I was blind.
27:28Please forgive me.
27:29Forgive you?
27:30Weren't you acting pretty arrogant just now?
27:32Mr. Thorne,
27:33how can I help you?
27:34Oh.
27:35It's nothing major.
27:36It's just that our supervisor,
27:38Walsh,
27:38not only abused his power,
27:40but right in front of me,
27:41the chairman,
27:42he claimed this restaurant
27:43was his turf.
27:44He even threatened to beat me up
27:46and kick me out.
27:47What?
27:47Sean Walsh,
27:48how dare you?
27:48Manager,
27:49I'm sorry.
27:49It's a misunderstanding.
27:50All a misunderstanding.
27:52I was blind just now.
27:53Manager,
27:54could you please talk to the chairman
27:55and help him cool down?
27:58Mr. Thorne,
27:59I'll investigate this thoroughly
28:00and give you a proper explanation.
28:03Yeah,
28:03and regarding his embezzlement
28:04of company assets,
28:06however much he took,
28:07make him spit it out
28:08every last penny.
28:09Yes, Mr. Thorne.
28:12Mr. Thorne,
28:13Mr. Thorne.
28:15Gavin,
28:16look,
28:16we're all neighbors.
28:17Neighbors should look out
28:18for each other.
28:19It was all a misunderstanding
28:20just now.
28:22Why don't we just let it go?
28:24Yeah,
28:24Gavin,
28:25let's just drop it.
28:26Paige and I have been besties
28:27for so long.
28:30What neighbors?
28:31Who's your neighbor?
28:32Who's your brother?
28:33Didn't Sean just want to
28:34treat you to dinner
28:35and help you get a job?
28:36Why are you being so relentless?
28:38Enough.
28:39Treat me to dinner,
28:39get me a job.
28:41Weren't you guys just coming here
28:42to show off and flex?
28:43You...
28:43Shut up.
28:44Throw the two of them
28:45out of here.
28:45From now on,
28:46they are no longer welcome
28:48in this restaurant.
28:49Security.
28:49Linda,
28:50Linda,
28:50please say something.
28:51We've been neighbors
28:52for decades.
28:53Paige,
28:54please say something,
28:55Paige.
28:56Weren't you guys
28:56so talkative just now?
28:58Now you know how to beg?
28:59We don't need besties
29:00and neighbors like you.
29:03Linda,
29:03Linda,
29:04Linda,
29:05Sean Walsh,
29:06you loser.
29:06I'm completely humiliated.
29:09Gavin,
29:09you really made me proud today.
29:10That was so satisfying.
29:13Gavin,
29:14thank you.
29:15Aunt Linda,
29:16Paige,
29:16I'm sorry you had to deal
29:17with this today.
29:19Bring out a portion
29:20of the best dishes
29:21we have in the restaurant.
29:22Yes, sir.
29:23I'll arrange it personally.
29:25Today we definitely
29:26have to enjoy a good meal.
29:29Gavin,
29:29about today,
29:30thank you so much.
29:31Sorry to make you spend so much.
29:32It's nothing,
29:33Aunt Linda.
29:34It's the least I could do.
29:35Take care, then.
29:53Anyone can tell
29:54at a glance
29:55that she's a scammer.
29:56Exactly.
29:57She's young
29:57and could do anything else,
29:58but she chooses
29:59to scam people.
30:00I'm not scamming anyone.
30:02My dad is in the ICU
30:03at City Central Hospital,
30:04room 12,
30:05bed 7.
30:05Whoever saves my dad,
30:07I, Fiona Campbell,
30:08am willing to sign
30:09a servitude contract.
30:10I'll serve you
30:11for the rest of my life.
30:12To pay for my father's
30:14medical bills,
30:14I'm selling myself.
30:16If I give her 300,000,
30:17that should count
30:18as helping a girl out,
30:19right?
30:23I'll give it to you.
30:25Huh?
30:26Bro, calm down.
30:27I've seen this scam
30:28a million times.
30:29The moment you transfer
30:30the money,
30:31she'll block you.
30:32How will you ever
30:32track her down?
30:33That's $300,000,
30:34not 30 bucks.
30:36Yeah.
30:36If this is an act,
30:37I'll pay the $300,000 ticket price.
30:40But if it's real,
30:41this $300,000
30:42can save a life
30:43and a future,
30:44so it's worth it.
30:45Payment received.
30:46$300,000.
30:47He actually transferred it.
30:55Sir, thank you.
30:56Thank you so much.
30:57I'll do whatever it takes
30:58to repay you.
30:59Now isn't the time for this.
31:01You have the money,
31:01so hurry to the hospital.
31:03If you really want to repay me,
31:04wait until your father
31:05recovers a bit,
31:06then come find me.
31:09Here, take my business card.
31:10It has my address on it.
31:14He really has more money
31:16than brains.
31:17Just wait until he regrets it.
31:18Let's go.
31:19Let's go.
31:21Young man,
31:23you just met her,
31:24yet you tossed away
31:25$300,000 so easily.
31:27Aren't you afraid
31:27of trusting the wrong person
31:29and wasting your kindness?
31:31Sir,
31:31the world is like
31:32a game of chess.
31:33I make my move
31:34only for a clear conscience.
31:35As for whether it's
31:36black or white,
31:37time will tell.
31:38Good deeds bear good fruit.
31:40As for the bad,
31:41it's bitter fruit.
31:42It should be borne
31:43by those who planted
31:44the bad seeds.
31:48Interesting.
31:48You have an open mind
31:49and your own set of principles.
31:51I am William Morris.
31:52I hope we meet again someday.
32:08It's $300,000 without even blinking.
32:11That loser Kevin Walsh
32:12can't even scrape together
32:13the $500,000 principle.
32:15The loan shark said
32:16if we don't pay up,
32:18they'll...
32:19Gavin Thorne,
32:20if I could just latch on to him.
32:29Young man,
32:30it looks like fate
32:30has brought us together.
32:32Sir, do you live here too?
32:33What a coincidence.
32:34I do.
32:34It seems we are neighbors.
32:36That's quite a stroke of fate.
32:37May I ask your name, young man?
32:39I'm Gavin Thorne.
32:41And I am William Morris.
32:43You're the legendary physician,
32:45Dr. Morris.
32:46It's an honor to meet you.
32:47It's just an empty title.
32:48But as for you, young man,
32:50what you said on the street earlier
32:52left quite an impression on me.
32:53Dr. Morris, you flatter me.
32:55Well, you're being modest.
32:57How about this?
32:57If you ever have some free time,
32:59you're welcome to come over
33:00for a cup of tea.
33:01I certainly will.
33:02I'll be going now.
33:08Gavin Thorne actually lives here.
33:10I absolutely have to latch on
33:12to this cash cow.
33:15Mr. Thorne, I'm sorry.
33:17She forced her way in
33:18and I couldn't stop her.
33:20All right.
33:21You may leave.
33:29Gavin, I finally get to see you.
33:34I barely know you.
33:35What do you want from me?
33:37We'll get to know each other soon enough.
33:38I saw you from afar
33:40walking into this building.
33:41So I thought I'd come over
33:42and say hi.
33:43Gavin, is this the legendary estate one?
33:46Whatever you have to say,
33:48just spit it out.
33:51Gavin, I have nowhere else to turn.
33:53I wanted to beg you
33:54for a small favor.
33:56Get to the point.
33:58I accidentally got into some debt
34:00with loan sharks.
34:01They're breathing down my neck.
34:03They're pushing me over the edge.
34:05Gavin, could you help me
34:06pay off the money first?
34:07Please.
34:08I barely know you.
34:09Why should I pay off your debt?
34:11We weren't close before,
34:12but from now on,
34:13we can be as close as you want.
34:15As long as you agree to help me,
34:17I'll do whatever you want.
34:19I know how to take care of a man
34:20much better than Paige Lawson.
34:22Helping her pay off her debt
34:24does technically fall under the category
34:26of helping women in need.
34:27Maybe I can score a reward.
34:29I can help you.
34:31Really?
34:31Really.
34:32However, there is one condition.
34:33You must sign a servitude contract.
34:35You have to work in my villa
34:36as a servant
34:37and use your wages
34:38to pay off the debt.
34:39If you agree, you can stay.
34:41If not, you can leave.
34:42I agree.
34:43I'll sign it.
34:43Gavin, I'll do whatever
34:44you want me to do.
34:49Whatever I want.
34:51I mean a proper servant.
34:59Go, call your creditor over.
35:02Thank you, Gavin.
35:03I'll go right now.
35:14Mr. Dunn.
35:18It's fine.
35:21You must be Mr. Thorne.
35:22Forgive my intrusion.
35:25If I'm not mistaken,
35:27you are the famous Mr. Dunn
35:29of South City,
35:30Dominic Dunn.
35:33It's just a title.
35:34I didn't expect my name
35:35to reach Mr. Thorne's ears.
35:37Let's cut to the chase.
35:38How much does she owe you?
35:41Ten million.
35:42Ten million?
35:44Great.
35:44System, I want to see
35:45how much you'll refund this time.
35:48No, it's not ten million at all.
35:49I only borrowed
35:50five hundred thousand dollars
35:51in principle.
35:52It's only been a few months.
35:53The debt is whatever
35:54I say it is.
35:56Mr. Thorne,
35:57are you paying this debt
35:58for her?
35:59Yes, of course.
36:04Gavin, you can't give it to him.
36:05He's robbing you.
36:07He's obviously scamming you.
36:08You can't agree to this.
36:10Besides, I can't pay you back.
36:11Hearing you say that
36:12makes you slightly more tolerable.
36:15Mr. Thorne, ten million.
36:16Are you sure about this?
36:18I always keep my word.
36:20Great.
36:21Straightforward.
36:23You truly live up
36:24to the reputation
36:25of someone living
36:26in a state one.
36:27Getting to know a man
36:28like Mr. Thorne
36:30is an honor.
36:31So, as for the money,
36:32I don't want it anymore.
36:33I just want to be friends
36:35with Mr. Thorne.
36:37How so?
36:38To be honest,
36:39I'd like Mr. Thorne
36:40to pull some strings.
36:42My sister is seriously ill
36:43and we're out
36:45of medical options.
36:46I heard the legendary
36:47doctor, William Morris,
36:49also known as
36:49Dr. Morris,
36:50lives here too.
36:51I figured Mr. Thorne
36:53might know him.
36:53I'd like to beg you
36:55to pass on a message.
36:56And introduce us
36:58to help cure
36:58my sister's illness.
37:00This should also fall
37:01under the scope of helping.
37:02I do know Dr. Morris.
37:04I can help you with this.
37:05But whether it works out or not,
37:07I can't make any guarantees.
37:09Having Mr. Thorne's word
37:10is enough.
37:11Whether it works out or not,
37:12I done.
37:13Will keep this favor in mind.
37:15Hey, wait.
37:17Mr. Thorne,
37:18is there anything else?
37:20This ten million,
37:21you have to take it.
37:22I can't do that.
37:23I said I don't want it,
37:24so I won't take it.
37:26Getting to know Mr. Thorne
37:27is worth way more
37:28than ten million dollars.
37:30If you don't take
37:30this ten million,
37:31there's no need
37:32for us to be friends.
37:33As for Dr. Morris,
37:35my hands are tied.
37:40Ten million,
37:41not a penny left.
37:42No, Mr. Thorne,
37:43you will.
37:44Then I'll only take back
37:45the principal of five hundred thousand dollars.
37:47I'll remember your kindness.
37:48Is that okay?
37:49No.
37:50Mr. Thorne,
37:51why are you doing this?
37:55Because I just like giving.
37:59Alipay received ten million.
38:03All right, Mr. Dunn.
38:05Then you can go now.
38:06As for your sister,
38:07I'll ask around for it.
38:10I'll take my leave.
38:22This man,
38:23what kind of situation is this?
38:25This is...
38:25Yeah, boss.
38:26We've been in the game
38:27for so many years,
38:28and we've seen plenty
38:29of rich and powerful people.
38:30But someone like Mr. Thorne,
38:32forcing ten million dollars on you
38:33as expected of someone
38:34living in a state one...
38:36Pass the word down.
38:37Mr. Thorne and his people
38:39must be treated with respect.
38:41Yes!
38:46Post-detective helping Megan Reed
38:48solve her debt issue
38:49by spending ten million dollars.
38:51You are rewarded
38:51with a 75% stake
38:53in Covington Law Firm.
38:55The relevant documents
38:56have been delivered.
38:57You are now the controlling
38:58shareholder
38:59of Covington Law Firm.
39:01Covington Law Firm?
39:02Isn't that the best
39:03elite law firm
39:04serving over 20 million people
39:06in Southern State?
39:10Gavin, thank you.
39:11If it weren't for you,
39:12I really wouldn't know
39:13what to do.
39:14Please get up.
39:16Now that you've signed
39:17my contract,
39:18you work for me.
39:20Don't do this again.
39:22The yin meridians are blocked,
39:24and yang energy
39:25is floating outwards.
39:26The symptoms resemble
39:28heat toxins,
39:29but the root cause
39:30is marrow coldness.
39:32Ancient texts
39:33are vague about it,
39:34and modern imaging
39:35shows no clues.
39:36If a cure for this
39:37yin marrow syndrome
39:39cannot be found,
39:40I'm afraid the patient
39:41won't last half a month.
39:46Dr. Morris,
39:47Mr. Thorne is here to visit.
39:48Hurry, show him in.
39:55Dr. Morris.
39:57Gavin,
39:58what brings you here today?
40:01Dr. Morris,
40:02to be honest,
40:02I'm here on behalf
40:03of a friend.
40:04He hopes you could
40:05take a look
40:06at his sick sister.
40:07Since you've asked,
40:08I will definitely help.
40:09Thank you so much,
40:10Dr. Morris.
40:12Post is detected
40:13successfully securing
40:14medical help
40:15for Dominic Dunn's sister.
40:17You expended
40:18a personal favor.
40:19This counts as
40:20helping a woman.
40:20You are rewarded
40:21with God
40:22to your medical knowledge.
40:24So this works too.
40:30Dr. Morris,
40:31the illness
40:31you're looking at
40:32seems like
40:32yin marrow syndrome,
40:34but it's actually not.
40:35You know about
40:36medicine,
40:36Gavin?
40:40Just a little.
40:41Dr. Morris,
40:42look here.
40:43The edge of this shadow
40:44is blurry,
40:45indicating atypical
40:46marrow changes.
40:47If I'm not mistaken,
40:48your patient
40:49probably gets
40:50piercing bone pain
40:51starting around
40:513 a.m.,
40:52but after noon,
40:54everything goes
40:54back to normal.
40:55Also,
40:56he has a cold stomach
40:57but craves cold drinks.
40:59Exactly right.
41:00This syndrome
41:00has an unpredictable pulse.
41:02How did you know
41:03my young friend?
41:03Dr. Morris.
41:05In my opinion,
41:06the root of this illness
41:07lies in the yin
41:08and yang chow meridians,
41:10which are
41:10congenitally misaligned.
41:12Also,
41:12the cold toxin
41:13accumulates
41:14at the marrow intersection,
41:15not in the marrow itself.
41:17You need to clear
41:18the chow meridians
41:19with acupuncture,
41:20then use yang heat
41:21to coxion
41:21to slowly warm
41:22and resolve it.
41:23Do I need a coxion
41:24to slowly warm
41:25and resolve it?
41:26That makes perfect sense.
41:28I've pondered this
41:29for half a month,
41:30yet you solved it
41:31with just one sentence.
41:32You're a rare genius.
41:34A true genius.
41:36Dr. Morris,
41:36you flatter me.
41:37Then about my friend,
41:38I'll leave him
41:39in your care.
41:40Don't worry.
41:41Have him come over
41:42any time.
41:42I'll do my best.
41:43Thank you,
41:44Dr. Morris.
41:45Well,
41:45I'll be taking my leave now.
41:56Gavin,
41:57tonight happens
41:58to be our
41:58high school class's
41:5910-year reunion
42:00and it's at your restaurant.
42:02Are you going?
42:0310-year reunion?
42:04I happen to be free.
42:05Let's go take a look.
42:06Okay,
42:07let's go together then.
42:08Okay.
42:10Gavin,
42:10that person
42:11looks like Megan Reed.
42:12It is her.
42:13She's an employer
42:14here now.
42:15Oh,
42:15I see.
42:16Let's go then.
42:18Yeah.
42:19This way.
42:26Hey?
42:27Yeah.
42:28Look who's here.
42:29Paige Lawson
42:30and this guy
42:31don't tell me
42:31you're Gavin Thorne.
42:33I am.
42:34Wow,
42:34it really is Gavin Thorne.
42:36It's been years.
42:37Long time no see.
42:38By the way,
42:39did you guys know?
42:40I heard class president
42:41Tyler Morgan
42:42came back from abroad.
42:43He's the one
42:44who booked this restaurant
42:45for our reunion.
42:46Yeah,
42:46he's been making
42:47the most noise
42:47in the group chat.
42:48I can't believe
42:49he got us into Lefebvre.
42:51It's really hard
42:51to get a reservation here.
42:53Paige.
42:55Paige,
42:55long time no see.
42:58Paige,
42:59even though I've been abroad
43:00all these years,
43:01I've always missed you.
43:04Class president,
43:05we're just classmates.
43:07Talking like that
43:08isn't very appropriate.
43:11Gavin,
43:11let's go inside.
43:13And who might
43:14this classmate be?
43:15Gavin Thorne.
43:16Oh,
43:16I don't really remember you,
43:18but I do have
43:18a vague impression.
43:20Looks like Thorne
43:21didn't have much
43:21of a presence
43:22in our class back then.
43:23It seems Paige
43:24came here with you.
43:26Thanks for taking care
43:27of Paige for me
43:27and bringing her along.
43:40Lefebvre restaurant
43:41really lives up
43:42to the hype.
43:43The decor
43:43is on another level.
43:45I heard most people
43:46coming here
43:46have to book way in advance.
43:48I can't believe
43:48class president
43:49got us a private room.
43:51That's amazing.
43:52Of course.
43:53Class president
43:53is a big deal now.
43:55He's a real
43:55overseas elite.
43:57You flatter me.
43:58It's really no big deal.
44:00However,
44:00there are quite a few
44:01of us today.
44:02This private room
44:03is luxurious,
44:04sure,
44:04but it's a bit small.
44:06It would be better
44:06if it were bigger.
44:07Exactly.
44:08I originally planned
44:09to book VIP room one.
44:11But since Lefebvre
44:12is the city's top tier restaurant,
44:14private rooms
44:14are always in high demand.
44:16Yeah,
44:17I made several calls
44:18just to get us
44:18a reservation here.
44:19I heard that today's luxury
44:21VIP rooms
44:21are all fully booked.
44:22The manager told me himself.
44:24He said rooms one through three
44:25are already taken.
44:27Of course,
44:27with my connections,
44:28if I insisted on getting one,
44:30it wouldn't be impossible.
44:31It's just too much
44:32of an imposition
44:33on others.
44:34Paige,
44:34you know I've always hated
44:35bothering people.
44:36Of course,
44:37if it were for you,
44:38that would be a different story.
44:41Since this room
44:42is such an inconvenience,
44:43I'll go see what I can do.
44:46Thorne,
44:46you're quite the comedian.
44:47I'm a comedian?
44:48Thorne,
44:49you probably don't visit
44:50restaurants of this caliber much,
44:51so you might not understand.
44:53With Lefebvre's schedule
44:54and rules,
44:54it's not something
44:55anyone can change
44:56just because they want to.
44:57Is that so?
44:59If you don't try,
45:00I would do not.
45:03All right,
45:04it should be handled
45:05in a minute.
45:06Thorne,
45:07maybe because we haven't
45:08seen each other
45:08in so long,
45:09you want to save some face.
45:11Do you think you own
45:11Lefebvre or something?
45:15Mr. Thorne,
45:16VIP room one is ready for you.
45:18Please follow me.
45:19Didn't you say
45:19VIP room one was fully booked?
45:21Sir,
45:21you must be mistaken.
45:22VIP room one
45:23hasn't been booked today.
45:25Besides,
45:25as long as this gentleman
45:26wants any private room
45:27at Lefebvre
45:28at any time,
45:29we are always ready
45:30to accommodate him.
45:33This is too luxurious.
45:35Gavin Thorne,
45:36you're amazing.
45:37You arranged it
45:37with just one word.
45:38A VIP room at Lefebvre.
45:40Exactly.
45:41Tyler Morgan just said
45:42it was fully booked.
45:45Well,
45:46it's probably because
45:47the manager I know
45:48isn't on duty today,
45:49so his information
45:50was outdated.
45:51For a high-end restaurant
45:53like this,
45:54the reservation system
45:55having some glitches
45:56is completely normal.
45:57Phil,
45:58Gavin Thorne is the
45:59impressive one here.
46:00This is VIP room one.
46:01Many rich people
46:02can't even book it.
46:03Yeah,
46:04I never thought
46:04that in this lifetime
46:05I'd get to eat
46:06in Lefebvre's VIP room one.
46:08Gavin Thorne,
46:09you have such great connections.
46:10Where do you work now?
46:15It's nothing impressive.
46:16I don't really have a job.
46:17I just own a restaurant
46:18and a firm
46:19just running a small business.
46:21Gavin,
46:22you're being too modest.
46:23Exactly.
46:24Booking a private room
46:24at Lefebvre so easily
46:26means your business
46:27must be huge.
46:29Lefebvre is decent domestically,
46:31but on an international scale,
46:32it's nothing.
46:33When I was in New York
46:34and London,
46:35I often went to
46:36members-only dining clubs.
46:37That's what you call
46:38a truly ultimate experience.
46:40Well,
46:41we're already honored enough
46:42to eat at Lefebvre.
46:43It's a pity, though.
46:45I actually invited
46:46our former class vice president,
46:48Heather Grant.
46:49Unfortunately,
46:49she's been hospitalized,
46:51so she couldn't make it.
46:52Yeah,
46:52I heard about that.
46:53She has a bone tumor.
46:54It's very hard to treat.
46:56Our class vice president
46:57is so sweet.
46:58It really breaks my heart.
47:00Is that so?
47:01It's a pity I was abroad.
47:03Otherwise,
47:03I could have asked
47:04Dr. Morris,
47:05and it would have been
47:06resolved long ago.
47:07Class president,
47:08who is this Dr. Morris?
47:10It's Dr. William Morris,
47:12of course.
47:13William Morris?
47:14You mean the academician
47:15from Southport?
47:16The master physician?
47:18Exactly.
47:18Dr. Morris is an absolute
47:20master in orthopedics
47:21and internal medicine.
47:22He has cured
47:23countless bone tumors.
47:24Class president,
47:26you even know Dr. Morris?
47:27That's amazing.
47:28That's right.
47:29Since I came back
47:29from abroad,
47:30I've made friends
47:31with many big shots
47:32in Southport.
47:33Dr. Morris is one of them.
47:34A few days ago,
47:35I even attended
47:36an exclusive dinner party
47:37with him.
47:38Dr. Morris really values
47:39young talents like us
47:40returning from overseas.
47:42This kind of connection
47:44and recognition
47:44isn't something money can buy.
47:46I really is knowledgeable.
47:47People who study abroad
47:48are just different.
47:50Well, class president,
47:51since you know Dr. Morris,
47:52why don't you contact him
47:54right now
47:54and see if he can help
47:55the class vice president.
47:59That's right,
48:00class president.
48:01Please help her out.
48:02Yeah, class president.
48:03You're so well connected.
48:05Right now,
48:05you're the only one
48:06who can help
48:07the vice president.
48:08Yeah, class president.
48:09With your great resources
48:10and connections,
48:11please help her.
48:13Since Paige asked,
48:15this is, of course,
48:16a piece of cake.
48:17Let me see.
48:18Let me see.
48:19Let me see.
48:20Let me see.
48:22Let me see.
48:24Oh, shoot.
48:25I forgot.
48:26Dr. Morris' phone number
48:27is saved on my other phone.
48:28I don't have it on me.
48:31Besides,
48:31Dr. Morris is a busy man.
48:33At this hour,
48:34he's probably resting
48:35or doing research.
48:36To bother him
48:37over such a trivial matter
48:38would be so inconsiderate
48:40to an elder like him.
48:41This is about
48:41the vice president's health.
48:43How is that a trivial matter?
48:44Tell you what,
48:45I actually happen to know
48:46Dr. Morris, too.
48:47How about I give him a call?
48:49Gavin Thorne,
48:50you're taking this joke
48:51way too far.
48:52Do you know
48:53who Dr. Morris is?
48:54He's a master physician
48:55and a top-tier academician.
48:57He isn't someone
48:57you can meet
48:58just by having money.
48:59You never know.
49:03Hello, Gavin.
49:05What made you call
49:05an old man like me?
49:07Did you think
49:07of some interesting
49:08medical theories?
49:10That voice really is
49:11Dr. Morris.
49:12Back in college,
49:13I heard him speak
49:13at a lecture.
49:18Dr. Morris,
49:19I'm so sorry
49:19to bother you so late.
49:20I'm at my high school
49:21reunion tonight.
49:22It's just that
49:23an old classmate of mine
49:24was diagnosed
49:25with a malignant bone tumor.
49:27I've heard you're an expert
49:27in this field,
49:28so I was hoping
49:29you could help him out.
49:30Gavin, it's rare for you
49:31to reach out
49:31to an old man like me.
49:33Since you asked,
49:34it's no problem at all.
49:35Since you agreed,
49:36I'll thank you in advance.
49:37I'll definitely visit you soon.
49:39Gavin, you're amazing.
49:41Gavin Thorne,
49:42you're crossing the line.
49:43Just to brag,
49:44you hired an actor
49:45to play Dr. Morris?
49:46Do you have any idea
49:47how disrespectful
49:48and serious it is
49:49to impersonate
49:50a world-class expert
49:51like Dr. Morris?
49:52Paige, don't fall for it.
49:54That guy is probably
49:55just some random shilly
49:56hired off the street.
49:58Gavin, it's a bit noisy
49:59on your end.
50:00I can't hear you clearly,
50:01but since you took
50:01the time to call,
50:03how about this?
50:04I happen to be free tonight.
50:05If it's convenient,
50:06I can come over right now
50:07to see you,
50:08and we can discuss this
50:09in person.
50:09You're coming over
50:10in person?
50:11Then you are more
50:12than welcome here.
50:13It's just that the people
50:14here are all my classmates.
50:16They're on the younger side,
50:17so it might be a bit noisy.
50:19I hope you don't mind.
50:20We're currently at Lefebvre
50:21in VIP Box 1.
50:23Lefebvre?
50:23Oh, okay.
50:25I know the place.
50:26It's not far from here.
50:28I'll be there in 20 minutes.
50:29Then I'll wait for you here.
50:31Sounds good.
50:32Still bluffing, huh?
50:33A VIP like Dr. Morris
50:35is coming all the way
50:36just to see you.
50:37Let's see how you
50:38talk your way out of this.
50:43Gavin Thorne,
50:44it's been half an hour.
50:45Where's this Dr. Morris
50:46you mentioned?
50:47Did Gavin Thorne
50:49really just hire an actor?
50:50Gavin Thorne,
50:51why do you have to show off
50:53and make a fool of yourself?
50:54Gavin!
51:01Dr. Morris,
51:03you actually came.
51:06Well.
51:12Your friends are quite nice,
51:14Gavin.
51:15Hello, Mr. Morris.
51:16Hello, hello.
51:17You students are so full of energy.
51:19Please have a seat.
51:23Oh, right.
51:25Dr. Morris,
51:26a friend of mine here
51:27just said that he seemed
51:28to know you too.
51:29Oh, really?
51:30Who are you talking about?
51:38No.
51:39These new friends
51:39are all unfamiliar faces.
51:41Never mind.
51:42That doesn't matter now.
51:43About what I asked you
51:44on the phone earlier,
51:45I'm sorry for the trouble.
51:47No problem.
51:47Since it's an old
51:48classmate of yours, Gavin,
51:50I'll naturally do my best.
51:52Later,
51:52just have someone transfer them
51:54to the hospital
51:55in Southport.
51:56I've bothered you
51:57so many times,
51:58Dr. Morris,
51:58and for a junior like me,
52:00it really isn't appropriate.
52:01How about this?
52:02I have a bank card here
52:03with $20 million.
52:04I know that over the years,
52:05you've been contributing
52:06to the country's medical field.
52:08I hope this card can help you.
52:16I hope this card can help you.
52:18Gavin,
52:19this generous donation of yours
52:21comes at the perfect time.
52:22It's truly invaluable.
52:24On behalf of the patients
52:25who will benefit
52:26from this in the future,
52:28thank you so much.
52:30It's the least I could do.
52:31My God, $20 million!
52:33I couldn't make that much money
52:34in a lifetime.
52:35Gavin,
52:36I really have to thank you
52:37properly today.
52:39As for your friend's illness,
52:40leave it to me.
52:41I was originally hoping
52:43to discuss medical theories
52:44with you today,
52:46but it seems this isn't
52:47the best time.
52:49Seeing as your classmates
52:50are all having a good time,
52:52this old man
52:52won't be a buzzkill.
52:54Dr. Morris,
52:55don't say that.
52:56It's our honor
52:57to have you here today.
53:00Take care.
53:08Ladies and gentlemen,
53:10here is the bill for tonight.
53:13Everyone,
53:15originally,
53:16according to our usual rules,
53:17we'd go Dutch.
53:18But since Paige is here
53:20and we're all old classmates,
53:22how about this?
53:24I, Tyler Morgan,
53:25will cover half.
53:54As for the remaining half,
53:55you know Dr. Morris,
53:57and maybe you do have some money.
53:59But don't kid yourself
54:00into thinking
54:01your influence
54:01has no limits.
54:02This is Lefebvre.
54:03Everyone who comes here
54:05is rich or powerful,
54:06all social elites.
54:07And I've never heard
54:08of anyone getting
54:09a free meal.
54:10If I say it's free,
54:11it's free.
54:15Mr. Thorne,
54:16is the service here
54:17to your satisfaction?
54:21Mr. Thorne,
54:22Gavin,
54:23the restaurant
54:23you mentioned earlier,
54:25could it be Lefebvre?
54:26Mr. Davis,
54:27put today's meal
54:28on my tab.
54:29Also,
54:30give each of my classmates
54:31a gold VIP card.
54:32From now on,
54:34every time they visit,
54:35they'll get 30% off.
54:39You're the man,
54:40Mr. Thorne.
54:43Paige,
54:44let me take you home.
54:47No thanks.
54:50Since I came here with Gavin,
54:52I should naturally
54:53go back with him.
54:54Oh, Paige,
54:56are you and Mr. Thorne
54:57dating or something?
55:01Move.
55:10Gavin,
55:11I have good news.
55:12The demand letter
55:13has been delivered
55:14to Vanessa Croft.
55:15Thanks.
55:16Which law firm is it?
55:17Covington Law Firm.
55:18I'm a licensed attorney
55:19there now.
55:20I'll handle this case
55:21personally
55:22and make sure you get back
55:23every penny with interest.
55:25Covington?
55:26Interesting.
55:27All right.
55:27I appreciate it.
55:29No trouble at all.
55:30I'm off to a meeting now.
55:32I'll let you know
55:32as soon as there's news.
55:34Covington Law Firm.
55:35It really is a small world.
55:42I can't believe that loser,
55:44Gavin Thorne,
55:44dared to send me
55:45a demand letter.
55:46Why panic?
55:47Do you know
55:47where the letter came from?
55:49Covington Law Firm.
55:51My dad is
55:52the general manager there.
55:54Really?
55:54Then doesn't that mean
55:55we're guaranteed
55:56to win this case?
55:58More than just winning.
56:00I'm going to destroy him.
56:02I already looked into it.
56:03The owner of
56:04the Pinnacle Estates
56:05Villa One
56:06is one of the top
56:07ten richest men
56:08in our province
56:09and Gavin Thorne's name
56:10is nowhere on that list.
56:13I'm going to call him
56:14right now
56:14and let him know
56:15if we hired our own people
56:16to soon.
56:17I can't wait to see
56:18the shock on his face.
