00:04:44mirror and ask yourself if you're even worth it this restaurant is about class you don't even have
00:04:49an apex black card and you're trying to play high society the presence of people like you is
00:04:55dragging down the property value who's causing a scene here are you serious lexi they're taking

00:05:07bring that poverty energy in here that's way out of line they're just sitting there why are you
00:05:12harassing them is this how they treat people and they call this a high-end restaurant who'd want to

00:05:23you low-life
00:05:23losers looking at the rags you're wearing you should be out on the street begging with these two

00:20:08stop
00:20:21just
00:20:22i
00:20:23Ms. Vounce, I hope you weren't too shaken. Mr. Throne is tied up with a major deal today,
00:20:27but when he heard there was trouble at the restaurant, he sent me to handle it.
00:20:32You're just in time. These two lowlife attacks me.
00:20:35They ruin my gold watch and even claim to be Christian's mother.
00:20:39You know what to do, right?
00:20:40Wait, that face. Why does she look so familiar?
00:20:44Serena, I'm so sorry I dragged you into this.
00:20:48It's okay.
00:20:50If you were sent by Christian, then you should know he's already married.
00:20:54And I am his wife.
00:20:56Shut up! Marcus, tell her! Have you ever seen such a pathetic-looking wife?
00:21:00Don't worry, Ms. Vounce. As the chief executive assistant, I've been by the CEO's side for years.
00:21:04I have never seen such a cheap-looking woman near him.
00:21:07The CEO's mother and wife are currently traveling abroad.
00:21:09You two lunatics are clearly imposters.
00:21:12It feels like they are more like the real boss ladies.
00:21:14If that's true, she's gonna get thrown out. Talk about karma.
00:21:18Everyone shut up! Christian told me himself that I'm the only one he loves.
00:21:22Why else would he give me this restaurant to manage?
00:21:24If you were really his wife, how could you not even know who owns this place?
00:21:28Guards! Drag these peasants out!
00:21:30And take that crazy woman who's faking her identity to the laundry room.
00:21:34Don't let her out until she's washed 10,000 sheets.
00:21:36Let us go!
00:21:38Christian is in the middle of a critical partnership.
00:21:40If you lay a hand on us, this will be on the news by tonight!
00:21:44We should wait until the CEO is finished. We don't want a scandal.
00:21:48What are you scared of? The news?
00:21:50I want the world to see how pathetic they are.
00:21:53Let everyone see what happens when you try to impersonate the wife of the Apex CEO!
00:21:57Bessie, why don't we go live? Not just LA, but the whole country will see these two losers get what
00:22:01they deserve.
00:22:01Okay, then let the whole internet know that this person is pretending to be Christian's wife.
00:22:06I wonder how she can survive?
00:22:20Where is Mr. Blackwood? Why isn't he here yet?
00:22:22Mr. Blackwood canceled today's meeting. He said he has something urgent to handle.
00:22:28What?! Why would he change his mind now?!
00:22:30Should we head back to the office?
00:22:33Back to the restaurant. I need to see what's going on.
00:22:36We can't afford any bad press until this deal with Blackwood is signed.
00:22:41Doing this will only ruin Apex reputation.
00:22:44It will destroy the company's image and the partnership he is working for.
00:22:48I'm already live! What are you going to do about it?
00:22:51Look everyone! This is what happens when you pretend to be the CEO's wife.
00:22:55I'm going to show you how we handle frauds.
00:22:57Isn't that the new Apex restaurant in Malibu?
00:22:59Wait. That woman looks familiar. Is that the CEO's actual wife?
00:23:04It is her. I've worked with her and her husband before.
00:23:09You... You're really Christian's wife?!
00:23:28What are you panicking for?
00:23:36Christian has wanted to divorce his wife for ages. I'm the one he truly loves.
00:23:42But... She's still his wife.
00:23:46So what if she's his wife? If Christian really loved her, would he let her come here to order the
00:23:51cheapest drink on the menu?!
00:24:01Serena, I had no idea you suffered so much in this marriage.
00:24:06Terminate all partnerships with the Apex group immediately.
00:24:09Yes, sir.
00:24:14Christian throne, I want a divorce.
00:24:17What are you throwing a tantrum for now? I'm busy. We'll talk when I get home.
00:24:21Did you hear that? Christian doesn't care about either of you.
00:24:24Every time he's done dealing with you, he comes to me for comfort.
00:24:26Don't you feel pathetic? Being the legal wife? You're right. I was a fool. I've been lying to my son
00:24:33this whole time.
00:24:35As long as I'm still breathing, a woman like you will never step foot into the throne family.
00:24:42You old hag! What did you say? You actually think you're Christian's mother?
00:24:46If Christian really is her son, you should know exactly what the consequences will be.
00:25:03What is Serena doing at the restaurant?
00:25:10Lexi, you idiot! If this gets out, what happens to my deals?
00:25:19I want to see how long you can keep this up.
00:25:22Guards!
00:25:23What are you trying to do?!
00:25:27Those eels weren't enough.
00:25:29I've prepared an even more perfect gift for you.
00:25:42It's been raining in L.A. lately.
00:25:45Let me warm you up!
00:25:49You wouldn't dare.
00:25:50Why wouldn't I? In Apex, I am the law!
00:25:53A useless waste like you, who only dragged Christian down, deserve to be roasted and fed to the dogs!
00:25:59Stop this!
00:26:09Martha!
00:26:09No!
00:26:19Let's advance!
00:26:20What the hell are you doing?!
00:26:22Oh my god!
00:26:36Oh my god!
00:26:37If Christian gets here, you'd better pray he can actually protect you!
00:26:40I only gave you a little shock and toasted your hand.
00:26:44In his heart, I'm the one who matters.
00:26:47Even if I put you in the hospital, he'll still stand by me.
00:26:51You claim to be Christian's wife, yet you came to Apex and ordered a $10 cocktail?
00:26:55It's obvious.
00:26:57A loser like you means nothing to him.
00:26:59I've spent years building my reputation, and it's all being destroyed by that crazy bitch!
00:27:05Don't be fooled!
00:27:06This is a staged act by that crazy woman.
00:27:08She has a history of severe mental illness.
00:27:09The CERO loves his wife.
00:27:11He would never cheat!
00:27:12Look at this fake account defending a scumag.
00:27:15Obvious paid bot.
00:27:20Lexi Vance, you just wait.
00:27:34Don't scare me like that!
00:27:40My child, you've suffered so much.
00:27:45Mom?
00:27:49Isn't my mother still traveling?
00:27:51What is she doing back in LA?
00:27:58Drive faster! Get me to my restaurant in 10 minutes!
00:28:03Make sure the recording of the Apex livestream is saved.
00:28:07With this, Serena's divorce case will be a landslide victory.
00:28:14Miss Vance, we have over 600,000 viewers in less than 5 minutes.
00:28:16Maybe we should cut the feed just in case-
00:28:18The more, the better.
00:28:19After today, the whole world will know who Christian Throne truly loves.
00:28:22Let's see if she still dares to cling to him after this.
00:28:25You think Serena is the one refusing to divorce?
00:28:27She is a successful woman, one of the few in this world, and Christian doesn't even deserve to stand in
00:28:32her shadow.
00:28:32I'm telling you, as long as I'm alive, you will never enter the Throne family!
00:28:36You old hag, who do you think you are?
00:28:39Does Christian need his mother-in-law's permission to see other women?
00:28:41Mother-in-law?
00:28:44Then listen closely.
00:28:46My name is Martha Throne.
00:28:48I am the mother of Christian Baker Throne.
00:28:52The CEO's mother?
00:28:58Mother.
00:29:00What are you doing there?
00:29:04You're...
00:29:05Christian's mother?
00:29:10What a piece of junk.
00:29:12Was that...
00:29:12Was that really my mother?
00:29:15Why isn't she picking up?
00:29:16Is it really her?
00:29:17Damn it.
00:29:18Christian Throne might be a cheating scumbag, but the only thing he cares about more than himself is his mother's
00:29:22health.
00:29:22If he finds out you laid a hand on her, do you really think you took him at work?
00:29:25No, no.
00:29:26That is not possible.
00:29:27I'll have our restaurant's medical team check your injuries immediately.
00:29:30This is all just a big misunderstanding.
00:29:33Lexi, apologize now!
00:29:35We cannot afford to mess with Christian's mother!
00:29:36Your brother is right, Ms. Vance.
00:29:38An apology ends it all.
00:29:40Apologize?
00:29:41Fine.
00:29:42Fine.
00:29:42I get it.
00:29:51You old hag!
00:29:53You almost had me fooled!
00:29:54Christian's mother lives abroad all year, there's no way she'd be here!
00:29:57And she definitely wouldn't order a $10 cocktail and leave a measly tip!
00:30:01Have you even considered that you just struck his biological mother?
00:30:04Do you think he'll still protect you after this?
00:30:06You little bitch!
00:30:06Do you think we're idiots?
00:30:07If the CEO's mother visited Apex, do you think we wouldn't know?
00:30:12Did you hear that, everyone?
00:30:13Look at this soap opera performance!
00:30:14Even Hollywood couldn't write this!
00:30:16Birthday impersonates the Sinclair family, and now they're playing the secret mother card!
00:30:19Look at the cheap rags this old woman is wearing.
00:30:21If she's the CEO's mother, then I'm the president's mother.
00:30:28You're just jealous.
00:30:29You don't even have the right to own something like this.
00:30:32Jealous?
00:30:33Do you even know why he won't divorce me?
00:30:35Because everything he owns he got through me.
00:30:38Even that watch on your wrist was a Christmas gift meant for me.
00:30:40He doesn't love you.
00:30:43Who do you think you are?
00:30:45Christian is a self-made man.
00:30:46He built his empire on his own.
00:30:48He's about to sign a deal with the Blackwood Group, and then you'll be even more beneath him!
00:30:53The Blackwood Group?
00:30:59Contact Charles and the legal team immediately.
00:31:02Have the divorce papers ready.
00:31:05Yes, Mr. Blackwood.
00:31:13What?
00:31:14Bitter because Christian is so successful?
00:31:16He told me himself that he's disgusted by you.
00:31:18You don't even know how to serve a man.
00:31:19How could you possibly be his wife?
00:31:22Shut up!
00:31:22I won't let you touch another hair on her head.
00:31:24You old bitch!
00:31:26Haven't you had enough?
00:31:27Miss Vance, maybe we should just stop.
00:31:29You're just a dog barked by my husband's side.
00:31:31Think carefully about whose side you're on!
00:31:34If Mr. Throne loved his wife, he wouldn't have cheated.
00:31:36I have to do this.
00:31:52Since you're too poor to even afford a drink, I guess I'll have to feed you these bullets instead.
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Let her go! Come at me instead! She's pregnant!
00:32:05Christian has waited for this child for a long time!
00:32:08Don't you dare touch Serena!
00:32:09So what?
00:32:10As long as Christian wants kids, I can give him as many as he needs.
00:32:14That little bastard in her womb doesn't even deserve to be born!
00:32:16You think a baby will make Christian love you?
00:32:18Men only care about the children born from the women they actually like.
00:32:21To him, you and that feudist are just burdens.
00:32:24You're getting a divorce anyway.
00:32:25This kid is going to grow up fatherless.
00:32:27I might as well put it out of its misery now.
00:32:29Get your hands off her!
00:32:30Simon, I've had enough of this old hag screeching.
00:32:32She's ruining the atmosphere of this paradise.
00:32:33Make her shut up permanently.
00:32:38Since you love to make noise so much, I'll send you to hell.
00:32:42Martha!
00:32:44Martha!
00:32:47Martha!
00:32:48Get her out of the way.
00:32:52Martha!
00:32:56Finally.
00:33:05Martha!
00:33:06I'll show you something even more exciting.
00:33:09Martha!
00:33:12Martha!
00:33:14Martha!
00:33:14I'm sure you're very familiar with the taste of blood.
00:33:16Don't worry.
00:33:17You'll find out exactly what bullets taste like very soon.
00:33:20Still acting tough?
00:33:21Simon, hold her down!
00:33:25You should thank me for helping you see this man for who he is.
00:33:28You couldn't even keep your own husband, and yet you have a nerve to get pregnant?
00:33:31What a selfish moment.
00:33:35You should just die now so your kid doesn't end up a loser like you ordering the cheapest drink on
00:33:39the menu!
00:33:41Stop it!
00:33:46I can't stand up again.
00:33:47You're here!
00:33:51Who gave you the balls to touch my mother and my wife?!
00:33:57Who gave you the balls to touch my mother and my wife?
00:34:07Who gave you the balls to touch my mother and my wife?!
00:34:10Baby, you hit me for this crazy woman?
00:34:12You idiot! Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:34:15You let the entire country watch Christian throne abuse his legal wife!
00:34:18But baby...
00:34:18Serena, it's not what it looks like. I can explain.
00:34:26Serena! Are you alright?
00:34:30Get Martha to a hospital. Your people did this to her.
00:34:33There is nothing left to explain.
00:34:38Vanessa, my mother.
00:34:40Has she contacted the house lately?
00:34:41She was just in New York for a trip. She didn't mention coming back today.
00:34:47So, the woman with Serena was just my mother-in-law?
00:34:53No, this can't be right. My mother is supposed to be traveling the world.
00:34:57She's just some actress you hired, isn't she? Was all this drama really necessary?
00:35:01The most important thing right now is stopping Apex Stock from crashing!
00:35:06Christian! Christian! Don't listen to her lies!
00:35:09I was just defending myself! You have to believe me!
00:35:12Get lost!
00:35:15Brother-in-law! How can you talk to my sister like that?
00:35:18Who the hell is your brother-in-law?
00:35:19You two had the balls to bully my wife in my own restaurant?
00:35:21I'm doing you a favor by not crippling you right here!
00:35:26And you, Marcus Sterling.
00:35:27I hired you to assist my wife.
00:35:29Who gave you permission to let them run wild?
00:35:32You actually let them trap her in a water tank and burn her hands?
00:35:34You're so fired! Get out!
00:35:36Mr. Thrown, it wasn't like that!
00:35:37It was Miss Vance!
00:35:38She forced me to bully your wife!
00:35:40What lies are you spewing?
00:35:41You weighed the pros and cons and made your own choice!
00:35:43Notify HR!
00:35:45I want a black battle order across the entire state of California!
00:35:47No company that does business with the Apex Group is allowed to hire this man!
00:35:51No! No! No! No!
00:35:55Serena, babe.
00:35:56I swear.
00:35:58I had no idea these maggots would dare do this behind my back.
00:36:01Are you done with the performance?
00:36:04Serena, let me explain!
00:36:06Christian Thrown?
00:36:07Let's divorce!
00:36:10No, I haven't signed the $10 billion deal with the Blackwood Group yet.
00:36:14I cannot get a divorce now, no matter what!
00:36:16Serena, you can't be serious!
00:36:17You want a divorce over a little Mr. Standing?
00:36:19Can't you be a bit more mature?
00:36:29A little misunderstanding?
00:36:30Are you blind?
00:36:32Can't you look at the big picture for once?
00:36:34Today is the day for the crucial contract signing,
00:36:36and you chose to bring your mother here to cause a scene?
00:36:39If I lose the $10 billion contract with because of you,
00:36:42can you even begin to take responsibility for that?
00:36:45Aren't you being a bit too dramatic about all of this?
00:36:49Christian Thrown, are you even a man?
00:36:53This lady is lying here bleeding.
00:36:54You don't show a hint of concern,
00:36:55and yet you have the nerve to blame Serena?
00:36:57Who the hell are you?
00:36:58You think you can just walk into my place and interfere in my marriage?
00:37:01What kind of piece of trash are you?
00:37:02He's just an observer who can't stand your pathetic behavior.
00:37:05He's warning you.
00:37:05If you have even a shred of a conscience left,
00:37:07get your mother to a hospital.
00:37:08That will talk about the divorce.
00:37:10Serena, I truly don't know what I did so wrong
00:37:13that you're forcing this divorce on me.
00:37:15You really don't know.
00:37:19Christian, how much longer do you plan to keep up this act?
00:37:22The whole world knows you and Miss Vance are meant for each other.
00:37:25To keep her happy,
00:37:26you were even willing to hand over this brand new restaurant to her.
00:37:30Serena, you've got it all wrong.
00:37:32Lexi Vance?
00:37:33She's just an assistant I hired to handle some business for me.
00:37:35That's all.
00:37:39Honey, you have to believe me.
00:37:41If I had known for one second that this woman was acting this way behind my back,
00:37:45I never would have let her set foot in this restaurant.
00:37:47And I didn't order anyone to lay a hand on you.
00:37:49Are you really going to throw a tantrum in public over such a minor thing?
00:37:52Right.
00:37:53She beat me.
00:37:54She humiliated me.
00:37:55And in your eyes, I'm just being difficult?
00:37:56I'm just throwing a tantrum?
00:37:57Then what about your mother?
00:37:58She beat your own mother into this state.
00:38:00Is that a minor thing too?
00:38:04Mom.
00:38:05Christian.
00:38:08Christian.
00:38:10Christian, didn't you tell me that your wife was too controlling?
00:38:13Didn't you say that only with me could you find your dignity as a man?
00:38:16You also said that once the company goes public, you'd give me half the shares.
00:38:20Shut up.
00:38:20You have no place to talk here.
00:38:25It must have been so hard for you, playing the victim all these years.
00:38:29Babe, you know what kind of man I am.
00:38:31How could I ever say those things to a bitch like her?
00:38:34You'd rather believe a stranger than your own husband?
00:38:36Now be a good girl and let's just go home.
00:38:38Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:38:41Serena, do you have to make us a laughingstock?
00:38:43Come with me now!
00:38:48Are you deaf?
00:38:50Serena doesn't want to go with you.
00:38:51What you should be doing is getting your mother to a hospital.
00:38:54Your infidelity is common knowledge now.
00:38:56Instead of standing here putting on a show to save your reputation, do something useful.
00:38:59It's the only way you'll keep a shred of dignity.
00:39:01Of course I'm taking Mrs. Sinclair to the hospital!
00:39:02But who the hell are you to tell me what to do, huh?
00:39:07Gabriel, can you do me one more favor?
00:39:10Mom has been unconscious for so long.
00:39:12We don't know the extent of her injuries.
00:39:14Please, get her to the nearest hospital.
00:39:16Consider it done.
00:39:17As a wife of a throne, you sure are cozy with this guy.
00:39:20Is he your little plaything on the side?
00:39:28Oh, no wonder he's been protecting you since the second he walked in.
00:39:32You two have been hooking up behind Christian's back, haven't you?
00:39:36What did you just say?
00:39:37Look at how he's dressed.
00:39:39Those clothes are clearly rented.
00:39:41He's probably some third-rate actor from Hollywood.
00:39:44She knew you were about to sign a $10 billion deal,
00:39:46so she brought her little boy toy to trash the place and bleed you dry.
00:39:53What exactly is your relationship with my wife?
00:39:56Christian Throne, that's enough!
00:39:58She's been out cold for so long and you haven't shown a shred of concern.
00:40:03Can we at least get her to a hospital before you start your interrogation?
00:40:07If you actually cared about her, you wouldn't have brought her here in the first place!
00:40:11I see your plan now.
00:40:12Bringing her here to put on this little performance,
00:40:14just so you'd have a reason to divorce me and play the victim in the press, right?
00:40:21I see.
00:40:23In your eyes, your own mother's life is less important than a few lies from a mistress.
00:40:30Hey, I'm not lying.
00:40:32If you're so innocent, explain why you came here looking for trouble.
00:40:35So you mean, anyone who orders a cheap drink is looking for trouble?
00:40:40By that logic, do ordinary people even deserve to live?
00:40:43This is a grand opening for high society!
00:40:46I think you ordered the cheapest thing on purpose!
00:40:48Just to cause a scene so you could run off with your lover!
00:40:51You two seem awfully cozy.
00:40:53I bet you've been seeing each other for a long time, huh?
00:40:57So it's true, isn't it?
00:40:58Otherwise, why haven't I ever seen this guy in all the years we've been married?
00:41:03I can't tell if she's brainwashed you or if you're just deluding yourself.
00:41:06Serena, I get it.
00:41:07You were manipulated by him.
00:41:09I don't blame you.
00:41:09I really don't.
00:41:10If you're willing...
00:41:16Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:41:21Christian, are you okay?
00:41:24Good for her.
00:41:25A scumbag who cheats on his wife is exactly what he gets.
00:41:27Who cares if the live stream is down?
00:41:29We're filming this ourselves.
00:41:30This is going viral today.
00:41:36All right, honey.
00:41:37You've yelled, you've slapped me.
00:41:38Are you done throwing your tantrum now?
00:41:39I am not going back with you.
00:41:42My friend has already contacted a lawyer for me.
00:41:44We are getting a divorce today.
00:41:45So you're divorcing me for this loser?
00:41:48Believe it or not, he is just a very dear friend.
00:41:50He works in New York.
00:41:52It's perfectly normal that you don't know him.
00:41:53If you actually had a clean conscience,
00:41:55Serena wouldn't have called me to find her a divorce attorney.
00:41:59You!
00:42:00Instead of wasting time here, you should get your mother to the ER.
00:42:03Of course I'm taking her.
00:42:04But what happens in my family is none of your business.
00:42:07Get out!
00:42:08She's been unconscious this whole time and you haven't asked about her once.
00:42:11Are you not even a little worried about what might happen to her?
00:42:16You're all talk.
00:42:17Your mom has been lying there for ages and I don't see you rushing her to the ER.
00:42:20So, the reason you're not worried is because you think she's my mother.
00:42:25Am I right?
00:42:26Christian Throne!
00:42:27Of course I'm worried!
00:42:28But I'm busy dealing with you, constantly demanding a divorce!
00:42:31I was right.
00:42:32You only stayed this calm because you thought the woman lying there was just my mother.
00:42:36No wonder you haven't given her a single look since you walked in.
00:42:39She doesn't look that hurt.
00:42:40Is the old hag just faking it?
00:42:42Fine.
00:42:42Hey, you old hag!
00:42:44Get the hell up!
00:42:49Mom!
00:42:53Mom!
00:42:58Stay with me!
00:42:59I just wanted to see if she was playing possum.
00:43:02Serena.
00:43:03Serena.
00:43:04What happened?
00:43:05I'm divorcing Christian.
00:43:07I can never forgive you for this.
00:43:09Serena!
00:43:10Do you really have to say this in front of her?
00:43:12Can't we just handle our problems at home?
00:43:14Why do you have to drag her into this?
00:43:16Your mother was just humiliated with a drink to her face.
00:43:18And instead of caring for her, you're busy shifting the blame?
00:43:21Who the hell is this pretty boy?
00:43:22You think you're qualified to interfere in my family business?
00:43:25I just can't stand your pathetic behavior.
00:43:27The Throne family has quite a reputation in LA.
00:43:30How did they raise such a piece of trash?
00:43:34You're just a toy!
00:43:36Who gave you the balls to act tough in front of me?
00:43:38I'm not even done with you for sleeping with my wife!
00:43:48Serena is your wife.
00:43:49Not only do you not trust her, you're the one leading the charge to slander her.
00:43:52I've been patient enough with you.
00:43:54Christian!
00:43:55You're bleeding!
00:43:58You're bleeding!
00:44:04You dare lay a hand on Christian?
00:44:06Do you have any idea what the CEO of Apex Group represents in LA?
00:44:11Apex Group?
00:44:12If it weren't for Serena's silent support all these years, Apex would have filed for bankruptcy a long time ago.
00:44:17What do you know?
00:44:19This empire I have, I built with my own two hands!
00:44:22How dare you slander him?
00:44:24Christian, if you don't teach this guy a lesson, no one in this city will ever respect you again!
00:44:29Guards!
00:44:30Get over here!
00:44:31Find him!
00:44:31Today, I'm going to show him the price of crossing Christian Throne!
00:44:37Gabriel!
00:44:38Christian Throne, you've lost your mind!
00:44:40You have no idea who you are dealing with!
00:44:42Oh, crying now?
00:44:43If you get down on your knees and apologize to Christian right now, maybe he'll show some mercy and let
00:44:48you off easy.
00:44:50Christian, stop this madness!
00:44:52You're going to destroy yourself!
00:44:54Get off me!
00:44:54Out of my way!
00:44:58You ungrateful brat!
00:45:00What have you done?
00:45:03Mother.
00:45:09You old hag.
00:45:10You're only acting tough because you think you're the mother-in-law, right?
00:45:13You think Christian's respect for elders saves you?
00:45:16Simon, pin this old bitch down!
00:45:18Who the hell do you think you are, talking to my mother like that?
00:45:22Baby!
00:45:23What are you doing?
00:45:31You stupid, wicked bitch!
00:45:33Look at her!
00:45:34She is my biological mother!
00:45:38Biological?
00:45:43She is my mother!
00:45:51Your mother?
00:45:59It's over.
00:46:00I'm a dead man.
00:46:01I hit her so hard.
00:46:02My God.
00:46:04He actually watched his mistress drench his own mother in ice water?
00:46:08How utterly shameless!
00:46:10He acts like such a gentleman, but he's just a bottom-fleeter who tramples on his own blood.
00:46:14A moral failure like this thinks he can sign a $10 billion deal with the Blackwood Group?
00:46:19He's the laughingstock of the financial world.
00:46:23Madam!
00:46:24I was wrong!
00:46:24I didn't know you were Christian's mother!
00:46:26So what you're saying is, if I were just an ordinary old lady, it would be perfectly fine for you
00:46:31to bully me?
00:46:33No, it was her!
00:46:35She kept quiet on purpose!
00:46:36She set me up to fail!
00:46:37It's all her fault!
00:46:41Even now, you're still trying to slander Serena?
00:46:45Mrs. Throne, please!
00:46:47Get your filthy hands off me!
00:46:48You don't even have the right to speak my name!
00:46:51You've been trying to worm your way into my family?
00:46:54Let me make this clear.
00:46:55As long as I'm alive, that's not going to happen.
00:47:00Christian, I was so wrong.
00:47:02Please, say something to your mother for me!
00:47:04You deserve this!
00:47:06This is all because of you!
00:47:13Christian!
00:47:15Are you really going to be this heartless?
00:47:17Lexi is a loose cannon.
00:47:18If I push her too far, she might do something insane.
00:47:21I can't let her ruin my partnership.
00:47:23I have to stay focused on the bigger picture.
00:47:27Mom, that's enough.
00:47:28If you keep this up, it's going to trash the company's reputation.
00:47:32Reputation?
00:47:35Your wife and I were publicly assaulted, mocked, and humiliated in this room.
00:47:41And now you have the nerve to talk to me about reputation?
00:47:50Mrs. Throne, Christian is doing this for the big picture.
00:47:53For the sake of the partnership.
00:47:56Shut up!
00:47:57Who do you think you are to speak here?
00:47:59Do you actually think you belong in the Throne family?
00:48:06Mom, drop it!
00:48:08This is embarrassing!
00:48:10You're still stand for her?
00:48:11After what Sarira went through?
00:48:13Have you felt even a shred of pity?
00:48:16I'm merely scolding this woman, and you can't even handle that?
00:48:22Mrs. Throne, everything is my fault.
00:48:25I beg you, please, make you think of the family's honor.
00:48:29Who do you think you are?
00:48:31What honor do you think?
00:48:33You have to even talk to me about my family's name.
00:48:38How dare you mention my family's honor to me?
00:48:41Our family's honor was dragged through the mad.
00:48:44The second a homewrecker like you touched it!
00:48:47Mom, can you please stop making a scene?
00:48:54You!
00:48:55You!
00:48:56Mom, please don't let him get to you.
00:48:58You're hurt.
00:48:59Just breathe.
00:49:04Mom, everything I'm doing is for the good of the group!
00:49:07What a hypocrite.
00:49:08The man is a disgrace to the elite.
00:49:10Exactly.
00:49:11He watched his own mother get bullied by his mistress.
00:49:13He deserves exactly what's coming to him.
00:49:15We are in the middle of a massive deal with the Blackwood Group.
00:49:17A scandal right now will tank Apex's stock.
00:49:18Everything we've worked for will be blown!
00:49:23If you cared so much about the deal,
00:49:26where were you earlier?
00:49:27Where was your concern for the deal
00:49:29when your little mistress was live-streaming herself,
00:49:32beating your legal wife?
00:49:40The partnership with the Blackwood Group?
00:49:42You don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:49:44Because the deal has already been terminated.
00:49:55The partnership between the Blackwood Group and Apex
00:49:57has already been terminated.
00:49:59Did you guys hear that?
00:50:01Terminated?
00:50:02Who the hell do you think you are?
00:50:03Spoken like a true Hollywood extra.
00:50:05It's a shame you didn't win an Oscar for that performance.
00:50:07You think putting on a bespoke suit
00:50:09can wash off the stench of a kept man?
00:50:11Even Mr. Blackwood himself hasn't made a final call,
00:50:13yet here you are playing God and making decisions for him?
00:50:16Christian, they're just talking trash
00:50:17because they're jealous of your deal with Blackwood.
00:50:19After all, who in L.A., no, who entire country
00:50:21wouldn't kill for a seat at the Blackwood table?
00:50:24A coward who sleeps his way to the top like you?
00:50:26You think you're qualified to speak for the Blackwood Group?
00:50:29Do you have any idea that with one snap of his fingers,
00:50:32Mr. Blackwood can make sure you never work in this city again?
00:50:34A bottom-fleeler like you,
00:50:36you probably doesn't even know
00:50:37what a titan the Blackwood Group really is.
00:50:40Christian, are you sure the Blackwood Group
00:50:41is actually willing to work with you?
00:50:43My dear wife, let me give you an update.
00:50:44The new CEO of the Blackwood Group,
00:50:46Gabriel Blackwood himself,
00:50:47has been scouting Apex for an entire year.
00:50:49If Mr. Blackwood hadn't been held up by an emergency today,
00:50:52the contract would already be signed.
00:50:54The contract isn't even signed yet.
00:50:56You talk as if the Blackwood Group
00:50:57can't survive without you.
00:51:00What would a boy toy like you know?
00:51:02Who gave you the right to question me?
00:51:07What right do you have to question me?
00:51:09Kilometer like Blackwood doesn't just change its mind on a whim.
00:51:11This is a $10 billion deal.
00:51:13Once this agreement is signed,
00:51:14I, Christian Throne, will be the king of America.
00:51:16Christian Throne,
00:51:17when will you stop digging your own grave?
00:51:19Serena,
00:51:20I know you've always thought my success was thanks to you,
00:51:23but this time I'm going to prove you wrong.
00:51:25I don't need your family to close the Blackwood deal.
00:51:29I was only trying to give you a fair warning.
00:51:33Seriously?
00:51:33What does a woman like you know about high-stakes business?
00:51:37Serena, look.
00:51:38With this deal about to close,
00:51:40don't be like this, okay?
00:51:41Let's just drop it.
00:51:42If you're so desperate to work with Blackwood,
00:51:44then you should know that the heir to the Empire,
00:51:46the man who controls the global financial world,
00:51:48Gabriel Blackwood,
00:51:49has just returned from abroad.
00:51:51Are you telling me you actually know Mr. Gabriel Blackwood?
00:51:54Don't make me laugh.
00:51:57I am Gabriel Blackwood.
00:52:07Gabriel Blackwood?
00:52:08The man who controls a global financial empire?
00:52:10I heard his military background is even more terrifying.
00:52:13They say he can monopolize a private army in minutes.
00:52:16You?
00:52:17CEO of the Blackwood Group?
00:52:19How is that even possible?
00:52:21Oh, man.
00:52:22You're really committed to this role, aren't you?
00:52:24You've been acting so long,
00:52:25you actually believe your own bullshit.
00:52:26Exactly.
00:52:27You've probably never even seen the man in person,
00:52:29yet you are barking orders like you own the place.
00:52:31Give it a rest.
00:52:32The Blackwoods are the most powerful family in the country.
00:52:34A man of Mr. Blackwood's stature
00:52:35has women throwing themselves at him.
00:52:37Why would he be anywhere near a married woman?
00:52:39Talk is cheap.
00:52:40Where's your proof?
00:52:41You aren't even worth the effort of proving it to.
00:52:45You can't prove it because you're a fraud.
00:52:48If you're Mr. Blackwood, then I am his mother.
00:52:50You can't even touch our CEO's level,
00:52:52yet you're trying to impersonate Mr. Blackwood?
00:52:54What a joke.
00:52:54A man like Gabriel Blackwood is a god among men.
00:52:57He's light years out of your reach.
00:52:59Serena, have you really been brainwashed?
00:53:01Falling for a homeless drifter like this?
00:53:03Gabriel and I grew up together.
00:53:05We only lost touch when he moved to New York for business.
00:53:07Are you really so delusionous that you think I'm lying?
00:53:10If you are a friend of Blackwood,
00:53:12don't you think I'd know about it?
00:53:13Oh, I get it!
00:53:14This guy is a professional con artist.
00:53:16He's probably from some fraud syndicate.
00:53:17No one has seen Mr. Blackwood's face in years,
00:53:19and you were actually stupid enough to believe him, Serena?
00:53:21So that's why you had the balls to bring him here.
00:53:22You thought you could use a fake identity to intimidate us?
00:53:24You people are so blinded by your own ignorance.
00:53:27It's pathetic.
00:53:28You're the pathetic one!
00:53:29You thought you were so charming
00:53:30you could land a man like Blackwood.
00:53:31You got played by a street rat.
00:53:32I can only imagine what you had to sacrifice
00:53:35to keep this bum around.
00:53:47Shut up!
00:53:48You never learn, do you?
00:53:50Leave Serena out of your filth!
00:53:52Christian Throne,
00:53:53if you still consider me your mother,
00:53:56you will apologize to Serena right now
00:53:58and give her this divorce.
00:54:00Mom, you're taking this way too far.
00:54:02Why are you still sticking up for her?
00:54:07Mom, I am doing this for the Blackwood deal.
00:54:10I'm already drowning trying to manage the group
00:54:13and this restaurant.
00:54:14Are you only happy when you're making my life a living hell?
00:54:17I'm begging you, okay?
00:54:19As long as we land this deal with the Blackwood Group,
00:54:22I promise you,
00:54:24our standing in Los Angeles reach heights you've never even dreamed of!
00:54:27You've never had a head for business,
00:54:29not since you were a boy!
00:54:31Why on earth do you think a giant like the Blackwood Group
00:54:34would even look at you,
00:54:35let alone partner with you?
00:54:37Christian,
00:54:38why don't you just call Mr. Blackwood himself?
00:54:39His guy claims to be the CEO, right?
00:54:41Let's just see if he's the real deer or a total fraud.
00:54:43Fine!
00:54:44Mom, since you refuse to believe me,
00:54:46fine!
00:54:46I'll prove it to you right now!
00:54:52I'll prove it to you once and for all!
00:54:58Hello, Mr. Morris!
00:54:59It's me,
00:55:00Christian,
00:55:01the CEO of Apex!
00:55:02Yes!
00:55:03Yes!
00:55:04Yes!
00:55:04Yes!
00:55:05That's right!
00:55:06Of all the people to impersonate,
00:55:07you chose the CEO of the Blackwood Group?
00:55:09Serena Sinclair,
00:55:10just you wait.
00:55:12When Mr. Blackwood's people get here,
00:55:14I want to see how your little lover keeps up this act.
00:55:16By the time they're through with you,
00:55:17you'll never be able to show your face in L.A. again!
00:55:21Mom,
00:55:21and my dear wife,
00:55:24Charles Morris,
00:55:25the chief executive of the Blackwood Group,
00:55:28happens to be nearby on business.
00:55:29He's almost here!
00:55:31Christian,
00:55:31do you have any idea how incredibly stupid you're being right now?
00:55:35Serena,
00:55:35I know you were conned,
00:55:36but it's fine.
00:55:37Once Mr. Morris arrives,
00:55:38the lie dies.
00:55:39As long as you don't go through with this divorce,
00:55:41I'll even plead your case to him.
00:55:42Tell him you were just another victim.
00:55:44As for this toy boy,
00:55:46I won't be too hard on him.
00:55:47As long as he swallows every single shard of broken glass on this floor.
00:56:11Mr. Morris,
00:56:11there's this beggar here trying to sabotage our deal.
00:56:13He even had the nerve to impersonate Mr. Blackwood.
00:56:15You have to have him arrested immediately.
00:56:23Mr. Blackwood,
00:56:24it is my fault for not keeping this lunatic in line.
00:56:26They have stained your sight.
00:56:34This is impossible.
00:56:36What do you call him?
00:56:37Mr. Morris,
00:56:38you have the wrong guy.
00:56:38This guy is just a pathetic...
00:56:40Shut your damn mouth.
00:56:41Open your eyes and look.
00:56:42This is Gabriel Blackwood,
00:56:44the new CEO of the Blackwood Group
00:56:45and the sole heir to the dynasty.
00:56:57You're really the CEO of the Blackwood Group?
00:56:59We're dead.
00:57:00We are absolutely finished.
00:57:04Didn't you just say you were going to make me swallow
00:57:05every shard of glass on this floor?
00:57:07Now.
00:57:09Who's the one doing the swallowing?
00:57:13This can't be happening.
00:57:14My apologies.
00:57:16Given your personal conduct,
00:57:18the Blackwood Group is officially terminating
00:57:20all current and future partnerships with you.
00:57:22Mr. Blackwood,
00:57:22please!
00:57:23You're a big man.
00:57:24Don't lower yourself to my level.
00:57:26I was blind.
00:57:27Please,
00:57:27give me one last chance on the deal.
00:57:29Just one!
00:57:29A chance?
00:57:30You ran out of chances the moment you touched her.
00:57:36Sir!
00:57:37You need to get back to the office immediately!
00:57:39What now?
00:57:39What happened to the company?
00:57:40It's not just Blackwood.
00:57:42Every single one of our partners
00:57:43is pulling out due to the PR nightmare.
00:57:44The shareholders are all in the boardroom.
00:57:45They're calling for your head!
00:57:48Wait.
00:57:49This has to be a mistake.
00:57:50How could this loser be the legendary Gabriel Blackwood?
00:57:53Christian,
00:57:54have these two frauds arrested?
00:57:55Exactly.
00:57:56Look at this production.
00:57:57There's no way he has this many guards.
00:57:58They aren't even as ripped as I am.
00:58:00They're just extras.
00:58:01I'm going to expose these phonies right now,
00:58:02starting with the one in charge.
00:58:05You have a death wish?
00:58:07You have any idea what it means
00:58:08to insult the CEO of Blackwood?
00:58:10It means you're already dead men walking.
00:58:14Christian throne!
00:58:15As of this moment,
00:58:16the Blackwood Group is not only
00:58:17withdrawing all capital,
00:58:18we are initiating maximum legal procedures.
00:58:21We are suing you for $10 billion
00:58:22in liquidated damages.
00:58:30$10 billion!
00:58:31No!
00:58:32That's impossible!
00:58:33Where would I even get $10 billion?
00:58:35This is all your fault, you bitch!
00:58:37You're the reason I offended Mr. Blackwood!
00:58:39You're the reason the deal is dead!
00:58:41My empire falls because of you!
00:58:44You!
00:58:45He really is Mr. Blackwood?
00:58:51Miss Sinclair,
00:58:52I am the lead counsel appointed by Mr. Blackwood.
00:58:54Per your instructions,
00:58:55I have drafted the divorce settlement.
00:58:57Do you realize what you've thrown away now?
00:59:00If you had even an ounce of sense,
00:59:02Gabriel wouldn't have had to break you.
00:59:05Now, sign it.
00:59:08I won't sign.
00:59:09I'll die before I divorce you!
00:59:11Serena, you think I'm going to take
00:59:12this $10 billion debt alone?
00:59:14Not a chance!
00:59:15That's right!
00:59:16Stop acting so high and mighty, Serena!
00:59:18Without Christian's empire,
00:59:19you're just a penniless nobody!
00:59:21A penniless nobody?
00:59:23You people are like frogs
00:59:25at the bottom of a well.
00:59:27Do you really think Serena
00:59:28enjoyed this marriage
00:59:29for your pathetic scraps?
00:59:31Do you honestly believe
00:59:32you built your company on your own?
00:59:39Open your damn eyes.
00:59:41Any single one of the secondary
00:59:42cards in Serena's name
00:59:44is enough to buy
00:59:45the entire city of L.A.?
00:59:46It's impossible.
00:59:47She is the sole heir
00:59:47to the Sinclair congloment,
00:59:49a family that controls
00:59:50a third of the global economy.
00:59:51As a daughter of
00:59:52four-star general of the federation,
00:59:53if her father knew
00:59:54how you treated her,
00:59:55a divorce would be
00:59:56the least of your worries.
00:59:57He'd have leveled this city by now.
00:59:58What?
00:59:59She's the Sinclair heiress?
01:00:04Christian, tell me the truth!
01:00:05It's the only reason you won't divorce her
01:00:07because she's a Sinclair?
01:00:08You just want their business,
01:00:09don't you?
01:00:10Will you just shut up?
01:00:12I can't believe I threw away
01:00:13my entire future
01:00:14for a worthless bitch like you!
01:00:15I was so naive.
01:00:16I actually believed you loved me.
01:00:18If only I wasn't a Sinclair,
01:00:20then maybe I wouldn't have been
01:00:21conned for so long.
01:00:22Serena, don't listen to her bullshit.
01:00:23I loved you from the very first moment
01:00:25I saw you-
01:00:25Enough!
01:00:26I don't want to hear
01:00:26another word out of your mouth.
01:00:28Mom, please plead with her for me.
01:00:30I'm your only son.
01:00:31You can't just sit there
01:00:32and watch me go bankrupt.
01:00:34Serena, I am so deeply sorry
01:00:36for what my son has done it.
01:00:37If you want this divorce,
01:00:38don't look back.
01:00:39This boy deserves to be kicked out
01:00:40with absolutely nothing.
01:00:42Mom!
01:00:42Mrs. Throne!
01:00:43Christian is your own flesh and blood!
01:00:45How can you be so heartless?
01:00:46Leave him with nothing?
01:00:48That's insane!
01:00:49You can't do that!
01:00:55The entire net worth
01:00:56of the Apex group
01:00:57is small change
01:00:58compared to the support
01:00:59the Sinclaes have fuddled
01:01:00into Chris Christian
01:01:00over the years.
01:01:02And yet you clowns
01:01:03are out here
01:01:03working yourselves
01:01:04into a frenzy,
01:01:05groveling Christian's
01:01:06pathetic crumbs.
01:01:07Mrs. Sinclair!
01:01:08We were blind!
01:01:09We didn't know!
01:01:10Please, you're a great lady!
01:01:11Don't lower yourself
01:01:12to deal with people like us!
01:01:13Have mercy!
01:01:13Most of this doesn't matter to me.
01:01:15But you personally destroyed
01:01:16the pearl bracelet
01:01:17my mother left me
01:01:18and for that
01:01:18we have a very long account
01:01:19to settle.
01:01:20Frank, you're an expert
01:01:21on heirloom jewelry.
01:01:22Tell me,
01:01:23what's the value
01:01:24of this piece?
01:01:30This was a bespoke commission
01:01:31for the British royal family.
01:01:33Its market value
01:01:34is no less
01:01:36than $10 million.
01:01:38You are looking
01:01:39at the intentional destruction
01:01:40of high-value property.
01:01:42Given the sheer amount,
01:01:43you'll be lucky
01:01:44if you don't spend
01:01:45the rest of your life
01:01:46rotting in a prison cell.
01:01:48What?
01:01:48That piece of junk
01:01:49is worth $10 million?
01:01:50That bracelet
01:01:51is a hundred-year-old
01:01:52Sinclair family heirloom.
01:01:53I warned you before,
01:01:55it's something you couldn't
01:01:56pay back in a thousand lifetimes.
01:01:57Ignorant fool.
01:01:59You better start thinking
01:02:00about how you're going
01:02:01to pay that debt.
01:02:02Or maybe you should
01:02:03follow Serena's lead
01:02:03and start looking
01:02:04for the best defense lawyer
01:02:05money can buy.
01:02:08I didn't know.
01:02:10I swear.
01:02:11If I'd known
01:02:12that damn bracelet
01:02:13was worth $10 million,
01:02:14I wouldn't have dared
01:02:15touch it even
01:02:15if you killed me.
01:02:16Right, right.
01:02:17It's all a huge
01:02:18misunderstanding.
01:02:19We honestly had no idea
01:02:20it was that valuable.
01:02:21When Serena and I
01:02:22were begging you
01:02:23to stop earlier,
01:02:24where was the sympathy then?
01:02:25It was,
01:02:26it was just an impulse
01:02:27$10 million.
01:02:29I couldn't pay that back
01:02:30in 10 lifetimes
01:02:31even if I sold my soul.
01:02:32Miss Sinclair,
01:02:33please,
01:02:33show some mercy.
01:02:35Don't waste your time
01:02:35settling scores
01:02:36with a nobody like me,
01:02:37okay?
01:02:38Since you're a Sinclair,
01:02:39$10 million is basically
01:02:40a pocket change to you,
01:02:41right?
01:02:41My sister's already
01:02:41on her knees apologizing.
01:02:42Maybe we can just
01:02:43call it even.
01:02:43Call it even?
01:02:44Why on earth
01:02:45would I let you off?
01:02:46Every single thing
01:02:47you've done to me and Martha,
01:02:48I am going to settle
01:02:49every last account to them.
01:02:50Christian!
01:02:51Christian,
01:02:52say something!
01:02:53I only went up
01:02:54against her because of you!
01:02:55Serena!
01:02:57Whatever these two
01:02:58morons did
01:02:58has absolutely
01:02:59nothing to do with me!
01:03:00How could it have
01:03:01nothing to do with you,
01:03:03my dear husband?
01:03:04Every citizens in America
01:03:06knows by now.
01:03:06The CEO of the Apex Group
01:03:08keeps a creature like this
01:03:09and even teamed
01:03:10with his mistress
01:03:11to bully his own wife.
01:03:15Mr. Throne,
01:03:17you wouldn't forget
01:03:18so quickly,
01:03:19would you?
01:03:27Christian Throne,
01:03:28have you already forgotten
01:03:30whose shoulders
01:03:30you stood on
01:03:31to reach the top?
01:03:34Mr. Sinclair,
01:03:36I have encrypted
01:03:37and saved
01:03:37the entire live stream
01:03:38for recording.
01:03:39It is ready to be
01:03:40submitted to the court
01:03:41as evidence
01:03:41whenever you wish.
01:03:44Thank you, Frank.
01:03:47Since you refused
01:03:48to sign the divorce papers
01:03:49peacefully,
01:03:50I'll see you in court.
01:03:51I'm going to sue you
01:03:52until you don't even
01:03:53have a pair of underwear
01:03:54left to your name.
01:03:57The Apex Group
01:03:58will be filing
01:03:59for bankruptcy
01:03:59within days.
01:04:01If you want to keep
01:04:01even a shred of dignity,
01:04:03you'd better sign
01:04:03that settlement
01:04:04immediately.
01:04:06Serena, don't go!
01:04:07Please forgive me
01:04:08for the sake
01:04:08of our ten years together.
01:04:09Give me one more chance
01:04:10just once!
01:04:13If I weren't
01:04:14the Sinclair heiress,
01:04:16would you still be
01:04:16on your knees
01:04:17begging me right now?
01:04:18Oh, there's one more thing.
01:04:19As of today,
01:04:20I have no son.
01:04:21I am taking
01:04:22every legal avenue
01:04:23to strip you
01:04:24of your inheritance.
01:04:25Every cent of my estate
01:04:26will be donated
01:04:26to charity
01:04:27after I pass.
01:04:28You won't get
01:04:29a single dime.
01:04:30It's over.
01:04:32Everything is over.
01:04:33I won't divorce you!
01:04:34You're never getting rid of me!
01:04:49You're pregnant?
01:04:50Since when?
01:04:56Serena.
01:04:57You're pregnant!
01:04:57I'm going to be a father!
01:04:59This is my flesh and blood, right?
01:05:00The baby needs a father,
01:05:01Serena.
01:05:02For the sake of our child,
01:05:03you can't divorce me
01:05:04and you have to help me
01:05:04pay off these debts.
01:05:05I'm afraid you're
01:05:06going to be disappointed.
01:05:09After the divorce,
01:05:10you will never see
01:05:11this child again.
01:05:12Besides,
01:05:12it's not like you're short
01:05:13on people willing
01:05:14to bear your children.
01:05:16what the hell
01:05:16did you say to Serena?
01:05:17I was talking trash!
01:05:19I never meant to go
01:05:19against the Sinclair heiress!
01:05:22Serena,
01:05:22if we divorce,
01:05:23what happens to the baby?
01:05:25You can't let our child
01:05:26grow up without a father!
01:05:27Don't worry yourself.
01:05:28I can raise my child
01:05:29just fine on my own.
01:05:30A scumbag
01:05:31with zero moral integrity
01:05:32doesn't deserve
01:05:33to be called a father.
01:05:38Mom!
01:05:38I know I wronged Serena,
01:05:40but please help me
01:05:40one last time!
01:05:41Serena,
01:05:42she was going to surprise you
01:05:43with this news.
01:05:44I never thought
01:05:45you'd hurt her this deeply.
01:05:46You personally destroyed
01:05:47this family and this marriage.
01:05:49I was just confused.
01:05:54It was just a moment
01:05:55of weakness.
01:05:59You were traveling
01:06:00the world just fine!
01:06:01Why did you have
01:06:02to come back?
01:06:02If you hadn't shown up,
01:06:04I wouldn't be the laughingstock
01:06:05of the entire country!
01:06:07It's all because of you!
01:06:08You ruin everything!
01:06:10Christian Throne!
01:06:11Your mother came back
01:06:13because she cared
01:06:14about your career.
01:06:15How many times
01:06:16are you going to
01:06:16break her heart?
01:06:20Exactly.
01:06:21You wouldn't help
01:06:21your own son
01:06:22and instead you're
01:06:23in bed with this woman?
01:06:23You brought this anger
01:06:24on yourself, Mrs. Throne.
01:06:25The Sinclair family
01:06:26is a massive conglomerate
01:06:27after all.
01:06:28It's only natural
01:06:29for the lady
01:06:29to suck up to them.
01:06:31I did this to save you!
01:06:32Do you have any conscience
01:06:33and any idea
01:06:34how much the Sinclairs
01:06:35have helped you?
01:06:36Helped me?
01:06:37I'm the one
01:06:37who's been out here
01:06:38killing myself
01:06:38to keep things afloat
01:06:39so you can travel.
01:06:40Let me tell you,
01:06:41even without the Sinclairs,
01:06:42I'm still the one!
01:06:55you useless fraud!
01:06:57You said you could land
01:06:57the deal!
01:06:58You're not just a loser
01:06:58who lives off his wife,
01:06:59you're a penniless bum!
01:07:00Right!
01:07:01We were conned by you!
01:07:02Go die in a hole,
01:07:03you piece of trash!
01:07:04Just don't take us
01:07:05down with you!
01:07:06Miss Sinclair!
01:07:06This loser forced me
01:07:08to do all of it!
01:07:09I'm innocent!
01:07:10Charles,
01:07:11throw them all out
01:07:12and teach them
01:07:13a proper lesson.
01:07:14Yes, Mr. Blackwell.
01:07:17Mr. Throne,
01:07:18your assets have been
01:07:19completely frozen.
01:07:20We are moving
01:07:20to physical collateral now.
01:07:22How dare you!
01:07:23Do you know who I am?
01:07:24I am the CEO
01:07:24of the Apex Group!
01:07:25Get off me!
01:07:26Don't touch me!
01:07:27Serena Sinclair,
01:07:28I will not let this go!
01:07:43Mr. Throne,
01:07:44if you insist
01:07:45on refusing a settlement,
01:07:46we will have no choice
01:07:47but with a contested divorce.
01:07:53You still have the nerve
01:07:54to show your face here?
01:07:57What?
01:07:58Now that I have nothing,
01:08:00are you here to kick me
01:08:00while I'm down?
01:08:02Serena has made you
01:08:03the laughingstock
01:08:03of Los Angeles.
01:08:04The elite circles
01:08:05are all whispering,
01:08:06calling you a gold-digging
01:08:07social climber
01:08:08who only got ahead
01:08:08by riding the Sinclair's
01:08:09coattails.
01:08:10What man could stomach
01:08:11an accusation like that?
01:08:13Are you just gonna
01:08:13take it lying down?
01:08:14Mrs. Sinclair,
01:08:15and now she's
01:08:16with Gabriel Blackwood.
01:08:17How the hell
01:08:17am I supposed to fight that?
01:08:19I have a way
01:08:20to make sure
01:08:21she leaves
01:08:21with absolute money.
01:08:23Not a single cent.
01:08:32Before we got married,
01:08:33Christian was the golden boy
01:08:35of Los Angeles.
01:08:36Everyone sang his praises.
01:08:39Serena,
01:08:42it was my failure.
01:08:44I didn't raise him right.
01:08:46That animal
01:08:47doesn't deserve
01:08:48your forgiveness.
01:08:49Go do what you have to do.
01:08:51No matter how you choose
01:08:52to punish him,
01:08:53no matter the price
01:08:54you make him pay,
01:08:55I stand behind you
01:08:56unconditionally.
01:08:57Don't worry, Martha.
01:08:58I'll do what needs
01:08:59to be done.
01:09:00I'll come back to see you
01:09:01once this is settled.
01:09:07Serena,
01:09:08look at this.
01:09:10Breaking news.
01:09:11The Apex Group
01:09:12has called a press conference,
01:09:13alleging that the Sinclair heiress
01:09:14suffers from severe
01:09:15mental illness.
01:09:16They claim she was
01:09:17unfaithful during the marriage
01:09:18and has a history
01:09:19of domestic abuse
01:09:19against her husband.
01:09:21Christian is striking back.
01:09:22He's trying to weaponize
01:09:23public opinion
01:09:24to strip you
01:09:24of your assets
01:09:25in the divorce.
01:09:25I know.
01:09:26If this is his choice,
01:09:28then he can live
01:09:29with the consequences.
01:09:41Mr. Throne,
01:09:42what is the truth
01:09:42behind the allegations
01:09:43involving you
01:09:43and your wife,
01:09:44Serena Sinclair?
01:09:45Is it true that
01:09:46Ms. Sinclair suffers
01:09:46from mental illness?
01:09:47Were the rumors
01:09:48of your infidelity
01:09:48just her delusions?
01:09:50Everyone,
01:09:51I am Christian Throne,
01:09:52CEO of the Apex Group.
01:09:57Regarding the recent rumors,
01:09:59my wife has been suffering
01:10:00from severe schizophrenia
01:10:01for years.
01:10:02I've done everything
01:10:03to help her.
01:10:04I endured her affairs,
01:10:06her domestic abuse.
01:10:08But last night,
01:10:08she had an episode.
01:10:09She teamed up
01:10:10with her boy toys
01:10:11to set me up
01:10:11and hijack my company.
01:10:13The moment I didn't
01:10:14follow her every whim,
01:10:15she'd go into
01:10:15a hysterical rage
01:10:17and even hurt my manager.
01:10:18Look for yourselves.
01:10:19This is evidence.
01:10:20She hired thugs
01:10:22to break my arm.
01:10:31This unfaithful psycho
01:10:32actually has
01:10:33the nerve
01:10:34to show up?
01:10:36Anyone else
01:10:36who talks to her
01:10:37in that tone
01:10:38will spend the rest
01:10:38of their life
01:10:39rotting in a prison.
01:10:47What?
01:10:47Did you come here
01:10:48to beg Christian
01:10:48to take you back?
01:10:49I'm telling you,
01:10:50he's marrying me.
01:10:51So what if you're a Sinclair?
01:10:52You're still a discarded woman
01:10:53carrying some strays,
01:10:54bastard!
01:10:57You're going to hit me again?
01:11:01Hit you?
01:11:04I wouldn't want
01:11:05to get my hands dirty.
01:11:06Help!
01:11:06What are you doing?
01:11:07The cameras are rolling!
01:11:08Since this arm
01:11:09is already broken,
01:11:10we'll just do
01:11:11the whole country a favor
01:11:12and amputate it
01:11:13right here
01:11:14on live TV.
01:11:15Do it!
01:11:17Stop!
01:11:18Don't!
01:11:24Don't cut!
01:11:25Please!
01:11:25His arm isn't broken!
01:11:30She's faking it!
01:11:32You shameless fraud!
01:11:34Pathetic acting.
01:11:35Assume a rat like you
01:11:36doesn't even deserve
01:11:37the honor
01:11:37of being slapped by me.
01:11:45Christian,
01:11:46I gave you the chance
01:11:47for a dignified divorce.
01:11:49Since you insisted
01:11:50on doing this,
01:11:51don't you dare regret it.
01:11:53Serena,
01:11:54you dare threaten me
01:11:55in front of the national media?
01:11:57You unfaithful lunatic!
01:12:00Frank!
01:12:01Members of the press,
01:12:02I represent
01:12:03the Sinclair family
01:12:04and we are here
01:12:04to officially reveal
01:12:05the truth.
01:12:06Christian throne.
01:12:07Not only did he keep
01:12:08a mistress during the marriage,
01:12:09but we have evidence
01:12:10of him embezzling
01:12:10Sinclair family investments
01:12:11through shell companies
01:12:12during his tenure.
01:12:15For more horrifying,
01:12:17even to intimidate
01:12:18his business rivals,
01:12:19Christian throne built
01:12:20an illegal water dungeon
01:12:21within his restaurant,
01:12:22smuggling lethal
01:12:23electric eels
01:12:24to commit acts of torture.
01:12:31This man is a demon.
01:12:32It turns out
01:12:33the real psychos
01:12:34and abusers
01:12:34were these two all along.
01:12:36It's fake.
01:12:39It's fake!
01:12:40This was all forged
01:12:42by top leader hackers
01:12:43hired by the Sinclails!
01:12:45You idiots!
01:12:45Can't you see
01:12:46this is just a crazy woman's revenge?
01:12:48I'll tell you everything!
01:12:50Christian forced me to do it!
01:12:51He personally expanded
01:12:53that underground water dungeon.
01:12:54He said,
01:12:54if I didn't help him
01:12:55get rid of Serena,
01:12:56he'd kill me!
01:12:57I'm just a victim!
01:12:58I was in prison
01:12:59and brainwashed!
01:13:01You backstabbing bitch!
01:13:03When you were using
01:13:04my money for plastic surgery
01:13:06and million dollar diamonds,
01:13:08you were the one
01:13:08who taught me
01:13:09how to use the current
01:13:10to shock her nerves!
01:13:11You're the real demon!
01:13:13To use such bottom fleeting
01:13:15tactics against a Sinclair heir,
01:13:17you'll find that even death
01:13:18is a luxury you can't afford.
01:13:22Christian throne,
01:13:23Lexi Vant,
01:13:23you are under arrest
01:13:24for the illegal smuggling
01:13:25of endangered species,
01:13:26attempted murder,
01:13:27international financial fraud
01:13:28and money laundering.
01:13:29A special execution order
01:13:30has been signed
01:13:30by a four-star general.
01:13:32Take them away!
01:13:33Serena, I was wrong!
01:13:35Save me!
01:13:36I'll give you back
01:13:36all the shares!
01:13:42Drag him out.
01:13:53You think being arrested
01:13:54is the end?
01:13:55No.
01:13:56That would be too easy.
01:13:58Before you rot in prison,
01:13:59I'm going to let you watch
01:14:00as everything you're proud of
01:14:01is systematically erased
01:14:03by the Sinclair family.
01:14:05Execute the Sinclair
01:14:05liquidation protocol.
01:14:13No.
01:14:14My trust funds.
01:14:16Those are Cayman Island accounts.
01:14:18How could you have access?
01:14:19This is a hack!
01:14:20This is illegal!
01:14:21Mr. Throne,
01:14:22your very identity was stolen.
01:14:23You are now a person
01:14:24with no nationality,
01:14:25no assets,
01:14:25and no credit history.
01:14:26You aren't just broke.
01:14:27Even that name
01:14:28no longer belongs to you.
01:14:29Game over.
01:14:30Your resume, your degrees,
01:14:31your entire social history
01:14:32for the past five years,
01:14:33deleted.
01:14:41Serena Sinclair!
01:14:42You took all the money!
01:14:43What about my face?
01:14:44My face needs maintenance
01:14:45every three months,
01:14:45otherwise it will rot!
01:14:46By the way,
01:14:47the forensic report
01:14:48for Martha Thrones injuries
01:14:49is in.
01:14:49None of you are escaping.
01:14:51You can spend the rest
01:14:52of your life
01:14:52repenting in prison.
01:14:53with that face of yours.
01:15:09It's over, Serena.
01:15:11The city is back
01:15:11at your fingertips.
01:15:13Thank you, Gabriel.
01:15:15Without you,
01:15:16I might have actually
01:15:16become the mad woman
01:15:17they wanted me to be.
01:15:22My queen,
01:15:23where to next?
01:15:25To a place
01:15:26with no electric eels
01:15:27and no betrayal.
01:15:29A place where I can just
01:15:30watch my daughter grow up.
01:15:47relative to their fingers and
01:15:48lay you
01:15:50in藤
01:15:50may be
01:15:50on your
01:15:50To a place
01:15:53pero
01:15:54fail.
