Transcript

00:00:00I paid George a generous salary for 10 years to be my husband's driver.

00:00:04But on the day he retired, he left me with a secret that changed everything.

00:00:09George, these are premium wines and healthy supplements.

00:00:12I want you to take them.

00:00:13And there's one more thing.

00:00:15George, you gave Julian years of loyal service and you never let a single thing go wrong.

00:00:21You've earned this.

00:00:23It's my way of thanking you, so please take it.

00:00:29No.

00:00:30After everything you've done for us, I'm the one who owes you thanks.

00:00:33If your family ever has any trouble, no matter what it is, call me anytime.

00:00:43Miss Prescott, there's a hidden compartment in the trunk of Mr. Prescott's Bentley.

00:00:48Please, Miss Prescott, you need to see what's inside.

00:00:52A hidden compartment?

00:00:54In the trunk?

00:00:58Julian, what's this?

00:01:00Why is this part raised?

00:01:03It's fine.

00:01:05The spare tire must be pushing it up.

00:01:15Julian has this business thing at least three times a week.

00:01:19In the past, I never thought much about it, but like glass, trust fractures easily and through

00:01:25the cracks, the chill of doubt creeps in.

00:01:33George, Julian's silent driver of ten years, never spoke out of turn until today,

00:01:38when he turned around and said those exact words.

00:01:40There's a hidden compartment in the trunk of Mr. Prescott's Bentley.

00:01:44Please, Miss Prescott, you need to see what's inside.

00:01:55A file?

00:02:01Beverly Hills, a 4,090 square foot villa registered to Vivian.

00:02:10$50,000 every month, always on the 15th for three straight years, all going to Vivian?

00:02:25Baby, I'm waiting for you and our little one.

00:02:28So this is what he was hiding in that secret compartment.

00:02:33For three years, I was his loyal wife while he built a whole second family behind my back.

00:02:38A luxury villa, a monthly allowance, even a child.

00:02:43He made sure his mistress had it all.

00:02:47Rachel, do you have a minute?

00:02:49Yeah, I just got out of court.

00:02:50What's up?

00:02:51Run a background check on someone for me.

00:02:55Vivian, I want everything you can find about her and Julian over the last three years.

00:03:06It's late.

00:03:07Why haven't you gone to bed yet?

00:03:09I stayed up for you.

00:03:21Next time I'm running late, just go to sleep.

00:03:23You don't have to wait up for me.

00:03:30That perfume.

00:03:31I kept telling myself it came from some female client.

00:03:35Turns out the big client Julian has to see every week has a name.

00:03:39Vivian.

00:03:40Mr. Prescott, I hear that Prescott's real estate has acquired another prime location and it's

00:03:45Merjaj about billion eight.

00:03:47This is Prescott's keep in Saptimation.

00:03:50I'm believing that when they link lace, Prescott's properties will soon the Wagoys to tweak limo.

00:03:56One billion dollars?

00:03:57Ten years ago, Julian had nothing.

00:04:00I gave him the entire $400,000 wedding gift for my parents to fund his startup.

00:04:05Every last cent.

00:04:06And back then, he swore.

00:04:09Sophie, I know this is all your savings.

00:04:12I promise you.

00:04:14I will treat you well for the rest of your life and will never let you down.

00:04:17In the early days of the business, I stayed up late to help him write the company's articles

00:04:22of boundering.

00:04:23I used my connections to help him secure the first major client and check every detail until

00:04:283 a.m. until the company became public.

00:04:31And now he said,

00:04:32Sophie, we're married.

00:04:35What's mine is yours.

00:04:37Why does it matter if your name is officially listed as a shareholder?

00:04:41Julian, I spent 10 years trusting you with everything I had.

00:04:45I gave you my money, my time, my loyalty.

00:04:50Julian, and this is how you repay me?

00:04:57My mom's birthday gala is next week.

00:04:59Take care of everything for me.

00:05:01Sure.

00:05:05Don't embarrass me with another cheap-looking gala like last time.

00:05:08Book a better hotel and make sure the guest list is appropriate.

00:05:11I'll handle it.

00:05:17By the way, I'll be on a business trip for the next three days, so there's no need to

00:05:21wait up late in the night for me.

00:05:23Absolutely.

00:05:24Have a wonderful trip.

00:05:42Sophie, the results are in.

00:05:47Vivian, 26-year-old, a former employee department of the Prescott's real estate, left the company

00:05:52three years ago.

00:05:53She currently resides in a villa at Beverly Hills without Fixed Onesert.

00:05:57Under her maims, there is a Portia and a villa, both Gauthier and six months.

00:06:01This even the source of Julian, a Serena Tonkul.

00:06:04She's seven months pregnant.

00:06:09For 10 years, Julian and I couldn't have a child, the doctor told us his sperm motility was low and

00:06:16recommended IVF.

00:06:18Julian couldn't be bothered.

00:06:20He said we should let nature take its course.

00:06:24Apparently, nature took its course just fine when he was sleeping with his mistress.

00:06:28Sophie, take a breath.

00:06:29Don't make any decisions while you're upset.

00:06:32I'm perfectly calm.

00:06:33I want a divorce.

00:06:36You're going to confront Julian now?

00:06:37No.

00:06:38I'm not letting him know I'm on to him.

00:06:40There's something I need you to do first.

00:06:42Tell me.

00:06:43Tear apart the entire ownership structure of Prescott Properties.

00:06:46I want every nominee to agreement, every offshore company, and every hidden account.

00:06:51I need to know exactly how much of our money Julian has moved behind my back.

00:06:56You're prepared to take this all the way?

00:06:58Of course.

00:07:00I've spent 10 years being his unpaid maid.

00:07:02Now it's time to collect my wages.

00:07:07While I was waiting for Rachel to finish the investigation, I ran into Julia during his so-called business trip.

00:07:14There he was, flirting with Vivian like the perfect devoted boyfriend.

00:07:19Look at how your husband's been betraying you.

00:07:21The piece of trash truly thought of everything.

00:07:24Prescott's real estate, he holds 61% of the shares on the surface,

00:07:28but actually controls 78% through two high-profile companies in the Cayman Islands.

00:07:33The legal representative is his cousin Derek.

00:07:36For three years, Julian has been laundering company money through sham projects and stashing it in secret accounts.

00:07:42$15 million, six hidden accounts, four under his own name, and two under Vivian's.

00:07:48What about the properties?

00:07:49On top of the villa you're living in, he owns three other properties under his name,

00:07:53all of which he mortgaged last year, and the money has completely vanished.

00:07:57Then there's Vivian.

00:07:59Besides her a villa at Beverly Hills, she holds the deeds to two commercial shops.

00:08:04Both were Prescott's real estate projects bought at an insider discount.

00:08:07Their market value is over $4 million, but he only shelled out $1.1 million.

00:08:13The right to live in this villa.

00:08:16Not ownership.

00:08:18Not even my name in the title.

00:08:20So while I spent 10 years being his wife, Julian secretly moved at least $30 million out of reach.

00:08:24And what did he leave me?

00:08:26You haven't even seen the worst part yet.

00:08:28Last month, Julian secretly hired a lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement so he could get rid of you.

00:08:34The terms were insulting.

00:08:35The wife would leave the marriage with absolutely nothing.

00:08:39In exchange, the husband would generously grant her a single lump-to-mic settlement of $250,000.

00:08:47Generously?

00:08:48I gave him $400,000 when he had nothing.

00:08:52Ten years later, after inflation, he's offering me even less than the money I put in.

00:08:55Sophie, he's planned the whole thing.

00:08:59All he needs is the right moment to cut you out of his life and put Vivian in your place.

00:09:05When exactly is Vivian's baby due?

00:09:07Next month on the 15th.

00:09:10Sophie, what are you thinking?

00:09:11Didn't he ask me to organize a birthday gala for his mother?

00:09:15Then I'll give her a gala no one will ever forget.

00:09:24Did I forget a special occasion?

00:09:26Nothing special.

00:09:27I've just been missing you lately.

00:09:29Sit down and eat.

00:09:36I need to take this.

00:09:42What's up, babe?

00:09:48Who called?

00:09:50Just a client.

00:09:51I see.

00:09:53I've booked your mother's birthday gala in a private ballroom at the peninsula.

00:09:57Is that grand enough for you?

00:09:59That'll do.

00:10:00Put together the dinner guest list, but run it by me before you finalize it.

00:10:03Of course.

00:10:09I just got back from my business trip, but the office needs me again.

00:10:12I have to work late, so I won't be staying with you tonight.

00:10:17Go ahead.

00:10:19Savor every last minute with your little mistress while you can.

00:10:22Once the curtains fall on that birthday gala, your perfect little life collapses.

00:10:30I was 25 when I married Julian 10 years ago.

00:10:34Everyone told me I was throwing my life away.

00:10:37Turns out they were right.

00:10:38Sophie, have you lost your mind?

00:10:41Although you're Whitfield family, it is not a Mater Fulry clan.

00:10:45It is still well known in the National Building Materials business.

00:10:49How could you marry Julian, this poor boy?

00:10:53Sophie, you were supposed to inherit everything this family built.

00:10:56Instead, you're turning your back on all of it for a penniless nobody.

00:11:00I refuse to stand by and watch you destroy your future.

00:11:03If you marry him, then you are no longer my granddaughter.

00:11:07I gave up my inheritance.

00:11:09I walked away from Whitmore Materials Group and from my grandfather.

00:11:13I followed Julian without hesitation.

00:11:15All because I believed one empty promise.

00:11:19Sophie, I love you.

00:11:21I'll give you the whole world.

00:11:22He really did get the whole world.

00:11:24I'm just not part of it anymore.

00:11:28Sophie, the board of directors of Whitmore's Building Materials has reserved a seat for you.

00:11:33You can come back anytime.

00:11:35Grandpa is waiting for you.

00:11:42Grandpa, it's me, Sophie.

00:11:47Grandpa, I want to come back.

00:11:50I'm ready to work again.

00:11:51Of course.

00:11:52You're my granddaughter.

00:11:54You never needed permission to come home.

00:12:02I got my hands on the proxy ownership agreement.

00:12:05Guess what I found?

00:12:07Of the 78% of the stock in Prescott's, 15% has already been prepared for transfer, with the transfendered

00:12:15being Vivian.

00:12:16When is the transfer scheduled?

00:12:19The agreement takes effect on the 20th of next month.

00:12:23Five days after Vivian's baby is due.

00:12:28So that's his plan.

00:12:30He wants his child safely born before he gets rid of me.

00:12:35Exactly.

00:12:36The second his son is born, Vivian gets the shares.

00:12:40You get a divorce agreement and a pathetic $250,000 payoff.

00:12:46Then Julian expects you to disappear quietly.

00:12:50He really thought of everything.

00:12:56My birthday gala is three days away.

00:12:59Tell me you've handled everything properly.

00:13:02Everything has been arranged.

00:13:04Make sure my closest friends are seated right next to me at the gala.

00:13:08Sure, Mom.

00:13:09And Julian told me he's bringing a very important guest.

00:13:13I want her seated right next to me.

00:13:16Who is he bringing?

00:13:17None of your concern.

00:13:19Just handle it.

00:13:24A very important guest.

00:13:27You're really going to expose him in front of everyone at the gala?

00:13:32Definitely.

00:13:33Good.

00:13:34I'll come armed with a full case file.

00:13:37Make sure you bring the divorce agreement, too.

00:13:39Sophie, you know I've always believed.

00:13:41You wasted far too much of yourself on Julian.

00:13:45Not anymore.

00:13:46It ends today.

00:13:54How may I help you?

00:13:55Who are you here to see?

00:13:57Mr. Whitmore.

00:13:58Tell him his granddaughter is here.

00:14:02Nathan?

00:14:03There's a woman downstairs.

00:14:05She says she's Mr. Whitmore's granddaughter.

00:14:09Mr. Whitmore.

00:14:10Take it easy.

00:14:14Sophie.

00:14:16Grandpa.

00:14:17You left me alone with this company for ten years.

00:14:19And now you finally decide to come back.

00:14:25Come on.

00:14:27Your office has been waiting for you.

00:14:29Let Grandpa show you.

00:14:31You.

00:14:34You've gotten so thin.

00:14:36Grandpa, I'm sorry.

00:14:38I was reckless and stubborn.

00:14:40I turned my back on you for a love that was never worth it.

00:14:44Everyone makes mistakes.

00:14:46If you're happy, I'll celebrate with you.

00:14:48And if the world ever hurts you, come home.

00:14:51I'll always have your back.

00:14:54No more tears.

00:14:55You know Grandpa can't stand seeing you cry.

00:14:58Come on.

00:14:59Let me show you the office I had set up for you.

00:15:02Grandpa, let me start as a VP.

00:15:04I want to work my way back up.

00:15:08You'll take your rightful seat on the board.

00:15:11You can carry that responsibility.

00:15:14Grandpa believes in you.

00:15:18Mr. Whitmore, I have the materials you asked for.

00:15:22With the 32%, your parents left you and my 41% combined.

00:15:28Whitmore Materials Group is officially yours.

00:15:31Step up and take control as soon as passa, Sophie.

00:15:34I've waited a long time for this retirement.

00:15:36I will, Grandpa.

00:15:38I promise.

00:15:40Grandpa, there's one thing I need you to do for me.

00:15:43Name it.

00:15:43Whatever you need, I will make it happen.

00:15:45Keep my return quiet for now.

00:15:48Is there a reason?

00:15:49Because before I come back for good, there's one last war I intend to win.

00:15:52That worthless bastard Julian did something to you, didn't he?

00:15:57You might have walked away from Whitmore Materials Group,

00:15:59but this family still shielded his business

00:16:02and quietly pulled strings for him.

00:16:05Without our backing, he would be absolutely nothing.

00:16:11Grandpa, don't waste your anger on someone like him.

00:16:15This is my mess, and I'm going to clean it up myself.

00:16:18Go win it, then.

00:16:20You were born to conquer, not to lose.

00:16:29Where did you get an outfit like that?

00:16:31I bought it.

00:16:33How much did that cost?

00:16:34Not much.

00:16:35At just $90,000,

00:16:37a birthday gala this magnificent

00:16:39naturally demands the most high-end attire multi-match.

00:16:43Come on.

00:16:44It's my mom's birthday gala today.

00:16:46Let's not be late.

00:17:01Of course.

00:17:02I'm on my way to get you now.

00:17:07I'll drop you off at the hotel,

00:17:09get the gala set up while I go pick up a guest.

00:17:17Is that the special guest your mother told me about?

00:17:22What's her name?

00:17:24Vivian.

00:17:27Don't overthink it.

00:17:28Her brother is one of my business.

00:17:30His surfy got business partners.

00:17:32She's helped my mom connect with a few people,

00:17:34so my mom's taken a liking to her.

00:17:36He lies like it's the easiest thing in the world.

00:17:41I'll make sure your very important guest

00:17:43gets the welcome she deserves.

00:17:57I have a suite on the 18th floor.

00:17:59Every piece of evidence we have is already inside.

00:18:03Perfect.

00:18:04One more thing.

00:18:05I tracked down Julian's share transfer agreement.

00:18:10The signatures have to be completed by 3 o'clock this afternoon.

00:18:14That is to say,

00:18:15he plans to take Vivian

00:18:17directly to the law firm

00:18:19after the gala dinner.

00:18:21Why is he in such a hurry?

00:18:24Vivian's due date has been moved up.

00:18:26The doctor says she could give birth any day this week.

00:18:30Julian wants those shares safely in her name

00:18:32before the baby arrives.

00:18:37You won't get that chance.

00:18:39Not in this lifetime.

00:18:47Margaret,

00:18:49this gala is spectacular.

00:18:51You've really outdone yourself.

00:18:54Not everyone can host a birthday gala at the peninsula.

00:18:58This is seriously impressive.

00:19:00My son personally arranged every detail.

00:19:04I heard he spent well over $50,000

00:19:07just to make my birthday special.

00:19:12Well,

00:19:13you finally made an effort with your appearance.

00:19:16Today is your special day.

00:19:19Dressing appropriately is only expected.

00:19:22She came into this family with no parents to support her.

00:19:26And after all these years,

00:19:27she still can't even give my son a child.

00:19:30I have no idea why Julie insisted on marrying her.

00:19:34Honestly,

00:19:35she's an embarrassment to this entire family.

00:19:38Sofie,

00:19:39you look stunning.

00:19:40Who designed your dress?

00:19:43Valentino.

00:19:45Valentino?

00:19:47That dress must have cost a fortune.

00:19:50It's Julian's money she's wasting.

00:19:53She doesn't make a dime of her own.

00:19:55She only knows how to spend his.

00:19:59Sofie really went all out with that outfit.

00:20:02If I didn't know any better,

00:20:03I'd think she was the one celebrating her birthday today.

00:20:06How kind of you to say that.

00:20:09No need to thank me.

00:20:11I just said out loud what everyone else was thinking.

00:20:16Julian claims he owns 61% of Prescott properties.

00:20:20That's only what he wants people to see.

00:20:22He hid another 17% behind two offshore companies in the Cayman Islands.

00:20:27In reality,

00:20:28he controls 78%.

00:20:30And his cousin Derek is the name on the paperwork.

00:20:33Go ahead.

00:20:34Laugh while you still can.

00:20:36Once everyone is here,

00:20:38I'm collecting every debt you owe me.

00:20:44Where is Julian?

00:20:46You're his wife.

00:20:47How do you not know why he still hasn't showed up?

00:20:49He went to pick up a friend.

00:20:51I'm sure they'll be here very soon.

00:20:52Who could possibly need Julian to go pick them up himself?

00:20:56Vivian.

00:20:57Oh, Vivian.

00:20:58Then of course Julian had to pick her up himself.

00:21:01It's fine.

00:21:01We can wait as long as she needs.

00:21:04Honey,

00:21:05the real show is about to start.

00:21:07Keep your voice down.

00:21:09Like it matters whether I say it out loud.

00:21:11Everyone already knows.

00:21:16Vivian!

00:21:17Slow down, Vivian.

00:21:18You're in no condition to be hurrying.

00:21:20Happy birthday, Margaret.

00:21:21I chose this just for you.

00:21:22I hope it's good enough.

00:21:23How could I not like it?

00:21:24That baby you're carrying

00:21:25is the best birthday gift I could ever receive.

00:21:27Mom, what are you talking about?

00:21:28What?

00:21:29I've been waiting for a grandson for years.

00:21:31Sophie can't give this family a child?

00:21:32And now I'm supposed to hide my joy

00:21:34because another woman can?

00:21:35Come, Vivian.

00:21:36You stay right beside me today.

00:21:38Who is she?

00:21:39Just look at her belly.

00:21:40And Margaret's practically fonging over her.

00:21:42What else could it be?

00:21:43No way.

00:21:44Now this is a scandal worth watching.

00:21:48We're all set.

00:21:49Say the word and we start.

00:21:51Not yet.

00:21:52Let them dig their own grave a little deeper.

00:22:01Thank you, everyone,

00:22:03for coming to my mom's birthday gala today.

00:22:06It means a lot to have our family and friends here with us.

00:22:11If I'm standing here today,

00:22:13it's because of my mom.

00:22:15She sacrificed so much to raise me

00:22:17and taught me everything I know about how to be a decent man.

00:22:24And of course,

00:22:25I also need to thank my family.

00:22:29You stood by me and supported me

00:22:31every step of the way.

00:22:34I wouldn't be where I am today without you.

00:22:39Vivian, come stand beside me.

00:22:40We'll cut the cake together.

00:22:48At this rate,

00:22:50the Prescotts are about to install the mistress

00:22:52as the new Mrs. Prescott,

00:22:54right in front of everyone.

00:22:56They're humiliating Sophie,

00:22:58right in front of everyone,

00:22:59and she's still sitting there quietly?

00:23:01How pathetic.

00:23:03For the Prescott family,

00:23:05an heir is everything,

00:23:06and the woman who delivers one

00:23:08holds all the cards.

00:23:10Sophie can't give them that.

00:23:11But Vivian,

00:23:13she's carrying the ultimate leverage.

00:23:16Ouch.

00:23:16They're humiliating her in front of the entire room.

00:23:19If that were me,

00:23:20this table would already be on the floor.

00:23:22Nicole, enough.

00:23:23You really thought of everything.

00:23:25First,

00:23:25you parade Vivian around at the gala

00:23:27and let everyone know she's replacing me.

00:23:30Then,

00:23:31once your precious son is born,

00:23:33you transfer the shares into her hands

00:23:35and toss me a divorce agreement

00:23:37like I'm disposable.

00:23:40Sophie,

00:23:41don't let it get to you.

00:23:42I'm sure Julian has a logical explanation for this.

00:23:44Derek.

00:23:45Yes, Sophie?

00:23:47I know you're illegally holding

00:23:4817% of Julian's shares

00:23:50through two offshore companies.

00:23:52If the IRS catches wind of it,

00:23:54you will.

00:23:56Sophie,

00:23:57I don't know anything about that.

00:23:58I swear, I...

00:23:59I have the registration numbers

00:24:01for both K-Haven Ownings

00:24:02and Julia International.

00:24:05Do you still want me to continue?

00:24:06Sophie, I...

00:24:07Stay right here and watch.

00:24:10Once the show is over,

00:24:11I'm coming back for you.

00:24:18What the hell are you doing here?

00:24:20Go sit down and stop ruining the moment for everyone.

00:24:23Go back to your seat.

00:24:24It's my mother's birthday gala,

00:24:26so don't cause a scene.

00:24:27I'll explain when we get home.

00:24:31Home?

00:24:32Be specific, Julian.

00:24:34Do you mean our home

00:24:35or the one where you've been playing home with Vivian?

00:24:38You!

00:24:43Congratulations.

00:24:44After three years of sneaking around with my husband,

00:24:47you can finally stop hiding

00:24:48and stand proudly beside him.

00:24:52Julian?

00:24:54Who is she?

00:24:55You're pretending you don't know me?

00:24:57Fine.

00:24:58Let's make this official.

00:25:00I'm Sophie, Julian's wife.

00:25:03But that title is about to become ex-wife.

00:25:08Sophie, I hope we can think of each other as family.

00:25:12Don't ever call me your sister.

00:25:14Hearing that word come out of your mouth makes me sick.

00:25:16Sophie, enough.

00:25:17Vivian is here as a guest.

00:25:18Don't embarrass her.

00:25:21A guest?

00:25:22Julian, do you seriously still think

00:25:24I'm stupid enough to believe that?

00:25:26Vivian, former employee of Prescott Development Group.

00:25:29Address, Villa 4, Phase 3, Beverly Hills.

00:25:33White Porsche Cayenne.

00:25:35Plate number starts with 488.

00:25:38Julian, should I keep going?

00:25:39Or have you heard enough?

00:25:43You've been spying on me?

00:25:48Secrets only stay buried

00:25:50when there's nothing to uncover.

00:25:53What happened, Julian?

00:25:56Are you scared of what I found?

00:26:01What?

00:26:02Sophie, stop acting like a lunatic!

00:26:07This is my birthday gala!

00:26:09And I will not let you ruin it!

00:26:11Get out!

00:26:13Margaret, I'm perfectly sane.

00:26:15In fact, after 10 years,

00:26:17I've never been more clear-headed.

00:26:20It's time we settled a few accounts.

00:26:22She finally stopped taking it quietly.

00:26:26Margaret never misses a chance

00:26:27to flaunt her perfect family.

00:26:28Let's see how she talks her way out of this one.

00:26:31Let's be honest.

00:26:33She walked into this gala

00:26:35pregnant with a married man's child

00:26:36like she owns the place.

00:26:38She's shameless.

00:26:39All of you, shut up!

00:26:42Vivian, don't be afraid.

00:26:43I'm right here.

00:26:44No one is going to touch you.

00:26:46You are the daughter-in-law

00:26:47this family deserves.

00:26:48You're carrying the Prescott heir,

00:26:49which makes you the one

00:26:50who has actually contributed something

00:26:52to this family.

00:26:56Sophie, you couldn't give my son a son

00:26:59after 10 years,

00:27:00so he found a woman who could.

00:27:03What exactly is wrong with that?

00:27:05Unless you can give this family a son yourself,

00:27:09you have nothing to say.

00:27:11Mom, stop.

00:27:13This isn't the time to show our hand.

00:27:15We still have things to put in place.

00:27:21Sophie, Vivian and I are only friends.

00:27:23My mom lost her temper

00:27:25and said things she didn't mean.

00:27:26There's nothing going on between us.

00:27:28Just go home,

00:27:29and I'll talk you through everything later.

00:27:33That's right.

00:27:34Stop slandering my son.

00:27:35Julian would never do something like that.

00:27:37Slandering him?

00:27:41This prenatal record

00:27:42is from Vivian's appointment

00:27:43three months ago.

00:27:44Look at the section for the baby's father.

00:27:46Julian's name is right there.

00:27:48Are you still going to call this slander?

00:27:52Her boyfriend wasn't there

00:27:53when she had her prenatal checkup.

00:27:55Someone needed to sign the form,

00:27:57so I did it for him.

00:27:58Is that really enough for you

00:27:59to cause a scene in front of everyone?

00:28:01You were just signing for him?

00:28:03Here's a picture of you and Vivian.

00:28:05On the back,

00:28:06in your handwriting,

00:28:07it says,

00:28:07Baby,

00:28:09I'm waiting for you

00:28:10and our little one,

00:28:11Julian.

00:28:12Should I assume

00:28:13you took the photo for her boyfriend

00:28:14and wrote the love note for him, too?

00:28:16This is unbelievable.

00:28:18The Prescotts treated Sophie horribly.

00:28:21He's still trying to talk his way out of it.

00:28:23He must think everyone here is an idiot.

00:28:26A 4,090-square-foot villa

00:28:28at Beverly Hills

00:28:29registered in Vivian's name

00:28:31and these commercial units,

00:28:32all of them,

00:28:34for three years,

00:28:35Julian transferred $30,000

00:28:38to Vivian

00:28:39every month,

00:28:40always on the 15th.

00:28:4236 transfers.

00:28:44He never missed a single one.

00:28:46Seriously?

00:28:47He spent that much money

00:28:49on his mistress?

00:28:50Come on.

00:28:51Do you really think

00:28:52a young woman

00:28:53would have his baby for free?

00:28:54You can't force someone

00:28:56to love you.

00:28:57Julian said your marriage

00:28:58has been over for years

00:28:59and now,

00:29:01I'm pregnant with this child.

00:29:03Nothing can change that.

00:29:04If you keep making a scene,

00:29:06no one is going to come out of this

00:29:08looking good.

00:29:10Shut up.

00:29:11Do you honestly think

00:29:12she's still willing to settle this

00:29:13quietly after everything

00:29:15that just happened?

00:29:16I said shut up!

00:29:18Sophie, you don't understand

00:29:19the full picture.

00:29:20Let's not do this here.

00:29:21Come home with me

00:29:22and I'll explain everything.

00:29:23An explanation?

00:29:25After you transfer

00:29:26every share you can hide,

00:29:27hand me the divorce papers

00:29:29and throw me $250,000

00:29:31to disappear,

00:29:32is that when you plan

00:29:33to explain everything?

00:29:34You never stopped humiliating me

00:29:36for not giving this family

00:29:37a child.

00:29:38So congratulations, Margaret.

00:29:40Vivian is seven months pregnant.

00:29:42In two months,

00:29:44you'll finally be holding

00:29:45the grandson you wanted

00:29:46so badly.

00:29:47So what if he did?

00:29:48You've been in our family

00:29:50for ten years

00:29:50and still can't have a child.

00:29:52You're just a hen

00:29:53that can't lay eggs.

00:29:54My son is capable.

00:29:56What's wrong with finding

00:29:56someone who can have kills?

00:29:58I'm not the one

00:29:59who couldn't have a child, Margaret.

00:30:00Your precious son, Julian, is.

00:30:04Sophie, that's enough.

00:30:05Shut your mouth.

00:30:07Now you're suddenly worried?

00:30:09These years,

00:30:10your mother has been spreading around

00:30:12that I can't have children.

00:30:13Why didn't you stop her from talking?

00:30:16Take a good look.

00:30:18Eight years ago,

00:30:19the doctor told us

00:30:19Julian had low sperm mobility

00:30:21and needed to work on his health.

00:30:24Julian told me to be patient.

00:30:26He said we should let things

00:30:26happen naturally.

00:30:28Fine.

00:30:28I waited eight years.

00:30:30Then the moment things

00:30:31finally worked out,

00:30:32he went and had a child

00:30:32with someone else.

00:30:35Honestly, I'm glad

00:30:35I never gave him a child.

00:30:37A man like Julian

00:30:38doesn't deserve to be

00:30:39the father of mine.

00:30:40Enough, Sophie.

00:30:41No, I'm done.

00:30:42I wasted ten years

00:30:44loving you

00:30:44and that love is gone.

00:30:46Why on earth

00:30:47should I do you

00:30:47any favors now?

00:30:48Sophie,

00:30:49no matter what Julian did,

00:30:51the two of you

00:30:52shared a marriage.

00:30:53You could have handled

00:30:54this privately.

00:30:55Did you really need

00:30:56to humiliate him

00:30:57in front of an entire room?

00:30:59Shut up.

00:31:00We're already in deep trouble.

00:31:01We can't afford

00:31:02to get involved.

00:31:03Sophie came here

00:31:04to destroy every last one of us.

00:31:06She knows everything we did.

00:31:10Is that what you want, Sophie?

00:31:13To humiliate me

00:31:14in front of everyone

00:31:15and destroy everything

00:31:16I built?

00:31:17I'm not the one

00:31:18ruining you, Julian.

00:31:19You did that all

00:31:20on your own.

00:31:21I'm just making sure

00:31:23everyone can see

00:31:23what you've done.

00:31:24Sophie!

00:31:26You vicious troublemaker!

00:31:28I always knew

00:31:30you were an ill-mannered nobody

00:31:31with no upbringing!

00:31:33Stop acting

00:31:35so righteous.

00:31:37Your well-mannered son

00:31:39spent three years

00:31:40hiding a mistress,

00:31:42embezzling

00:31:4230 million

00:31:43in assets

00:31:44and trying to leave me

00:31:45with pocket chase.

00:31:49Don't play innocent.

00:31:51You knew exactly

00:31:53what he was doing.

00:31:54Because you think

00:31:55a successful man

00:31:56owes it to himself,

00:31:57trade his wife in

00:31:58for a younger model.

00:31:59Is that your idea

00:32:01of a good upbringing?

00:32:04How dare you

00:32:05speak to me that way?

00:32:06I am your mother-in-law!

00:32:08Does that mean

00:32:09nothing to you?

00:32:10Not anymore.

00:32:11Sophie,

00:32:13what is it going to take

00:32:14for you to stop?

00:32:16My lawyer prepared

00:32:17this divorce agreement.

00:32:18I'm asking for exactly

00:32:19what the law allows.

00:32:20A lawful division

00:32:21of all marital assets,

00:32:23the recovery of every

00:32:24cent of the 30 million

00:32:25dollars moved

00:32:25during our marriage,

00:32:26and a reassessment

00:32:27of the shares

00:32:27in Prescott Development Group

00:32:29based on each person's

00:32:30actual contribution.

00:32:31I don't agree.

00:32:32Those assets belong

00:32:34to me and my son.

00:32:35No one is touching

00:32:36is touching them.

00:32:38You're delusional, Sophie.

00:32:39I built Prescott Development Group

00:32:41from the ground up

00:32:42with my own two hands.

00:32:43You didn't contribute

00:32:44a single thing

00:32:45to my success.

00:32:46You built it yourself?

00:32:48Then let's refresh

00:32:49your memory, Julian.

00:32:50Who gave you

00:32:51the $400,000

00:32:52you needed

00:32:52to launch the company?

00:32:53Who drafted the bylaws?

00:32:55Who stayed up

00:32:56reviewing every project proposal?

00:32:57Who pulled the strings

00:32:59to land your very

00:33:00first major client?

00:33:02Julian, without me,

00:33:04you never would have

00:33:05earned your first dollar.

00:33:08Everything you built

00:33:09started with what I gave you.

00:33:11Wait, Julian.

00:33:12Your wife funded your company

00:33:14when you were starting out?

00:33:15So the great Julian Preston

00:33:16built his empire

00:33:17by using his wife's money.

00:33:18How impressive.

00:33:19Classic.

00:33:20She helped him build everything

00:33:21and the second he made it,

00:33:22he traded her in

00:33:23for someone younger.

00:33:24What a bastard.

00:33:26If you refuse,

00:33:27we can settle this in court.

00:33:30Sophie,

00:33:31I can make the decision

00:33:32for Julian.

00:33:33I'll have him give you

00:33:34enough money

00:33:35to live comfortably

00:33:35for the rest of your life.

00:33:37Take the money

00:33:37and walk away

00:33:38before you lose even that.

00:33:39And if I don't,

00:33:41you!

00:33:48Vivian, what is it?

00:33:49Are you okay?

00:33:50I'm going into labor.

00:33:52Get me to the hospital now.

00:33:53Oh, the baby.

00:33:54You can't let anything

00:33:55happen to the baby.

00:33:58What the hell

00:33:59are you waiting for?

00:34:00Call an ambulance.

00:34:01If anything happens to my son,

00:34:02I swear I'll make you pay.

00:34:03Fine, but it looks like

00:34:05today's reckoning

00:34:05will have to end here.

00:34:07Don't worry, Julian.

00:34:08I'll collect the rest

00:34:08of what you owe me

00:34:09another day.

00:34:12Everyone,

00:34:12my apologies

00:34:13for interrupting

00:34:14such a lovely celebration.

00:34:16Please,

00:34:17don't let me spoil the fun.

00:34:18Margaret,

00:34:19since it's your birthday,

00:34:20I wish you

00:34:21a long and healthy life

00:34:22surrounded by children

00:34:23and grandchildren.

00:34:25And may every single one of them

00:34:27repay you

00:34:27with the same loyalty

00:34:28your son has shown me.

00:34:30Rachel,

00:34:31let's go.

00:34:35From this moment forward,

00:34:37I, Sophie,

00:34:38will live for myself

00:34:39and no one else.

00:34:43You absolutely killed it in there.

00:34:45You were ice cold,

00:34:46merciless,

00:34:46and lethal with every word.

00:34:48The old Sophie is back.

00:34:49Actually,

00:34:50scratch that.

00:34:50This version of yours

00:34:51is even better.

00:34:52I'm not any better

00:34:53or stronger than I was.

00:34:55I just spent a decade

00:34:56living a lie

00:34:57and the illusion

00:34:58has finally shattered.

00:34:59That's true.

00:35:00By the way,

00:35:01I'm submitting the divorce filing

00:35:02tomorrow morning.

00:35:03Once Julian receives it,

00:35:04he'll send someone

00:35:05to push for a settlement.

00:35:06A settlement?

00:35:08That depends on what

00:35:09he's prepared to put

00:35:10on the table.

00:35:11Come on.

00:35:11My treat.

00:35:12Tonight,

00:35:13we celebrate your new life.

00:35:17Sophie,

00:35:17please wait!

00:35:18Tell it to the judge

00:35:19when the time comes.

00:35:20Now move.

00:35:21No, no!

00:35:22Sophie, please!

00:35:23About those two

00:35:24Cayman Islands companies

00:35:25you mentioned,

00:35:26Derek is only listed

00:35:27in the paperwork.

00:35:28He doesn't know

00:35:28anything about them.

00:35:29Sophie,

00:35:30I swear I knew nothing

00:35:31about the details.

00:35:32Julian told me to act

00:35:33as the nominee director.

00:35:34I only did what he asked.

00:35:36Save that,

00:35:37explanation for the IRS.

00:35:39They can decide

00:35:39whether you knew

00:35:40what you were doing.

00:35:42Sophie,

00:35:42I'm begging you!

00:35:43Please don't involve Derek!

00:35:45Nicole,

00:35:45that's a first.

00:35:46After all these years,

00:35:48you finally managed

00:35:48to ask me for something

00:35:49without sneering.

00:35:51I was wrong, Sophie!

00:35:52I admit it!

00:35:54Please show Derek

00:35:55some mercy!

00:35:55Sophie,

00:35:56I never should have

00:35:57helped Julian deceive you.

00:35:58I know I was wrong.

00:35:59Please,

00:36:00just give me one chance

00:36:00to make it right.

00:36:05I'm not part of

00:36:06your family anymore.

00:36:08Sophie.

00:36:09Enough.

00:36:10I won't report you myself.

00:36:12On one condition.

00:36:15On one condition.

00:36:17Of course, Sophie.

00:36:18Tell me what you need.

00:36:19First,

00:36:19never try to manipulate me

00:36:20with that we're family

00:36:21bullshit again.

00:36:22It's disgusting.

00:36:23Second,

00:36:24you have the files

00:36:25and login directions

00:36:25for every offshore company

00:36:26Julian controls.

00:36:27I want copies of every

00:36:29document

00:36:29and every password.

00:36:31That's...

00:36:32What the hell

00:36:32are you thinking?

00:36:33Sophie is giving you

00:36:34a lifeline.

00:36:35Are you really stupid

00:36:36enough to sync with Julian?

00:36:39Okay, Sophie.

00:36:40I'll send every password

00:36:41right now.

00:36:41You'll have copies

00:36:42of every document

00:36:43shortly after that.

00:36:46Honey,

00:36:47are we really gonna

00:36:47sell Julian out?

00:36:49You know exactly

00:36:49how Julian got his power.

00:36:51He used his wife

00:36:52to build Prescott

00:36:53Development Group

00:36:54and dumped her

00:36:55the second he was

00:36:55done with her.

00:36:56If she was nothing to him,

00:36:57we're even less.

00:37:04We've already agreed.

00:37:06You have to come back

00:37:07to Whitmore's

00:37:07to help me.

00:37:08You're my golden ticket,

00:37:09Sophie.

00:37:10Of course I'm holding

00:37:10on for dear life.

00:37:12General Counsel.

00:37:12The job is yours

00:37:13whenever you want it.

00:37:14Easy there.

00:37:15Deputy General Counsel

00:37:16is more than enough

00:37:16for me.

00:37:18Sophie,

00:37:18the gala footage

00:37:19is everywhere.

00:37:20Julian is finished.

00:37:21Tell me the truth.

00:37:22Did you plant someone

00:37:23to make sure it went viral?

00:37:24I didn't need to do a thing.

00:37:25The room was full of

00:37:26vultures dying

00:37:27from a scandal,

00:37:28particularly Margaret's

00:37:29old friends.

00:37:29They happily did

00:37:30all my dirty work for me.

00:37:31Sophie,

00:37:32don't buy Vivian's act.

00:37:33She played the meek lamb,

00:37:34but she was too calm

00:37:35under pressure.

00:37:35She's no victim.

00:37:36She's trouble.

00:37:37Good.

00:37:38I was hoping

00:37:38she'd put up a fight.

00:37:39Otherwise,

00:37:40where's the fun?

00:37:41Come on.

00:37:42Drink with me.

00:37:49My baby.

00:37:51Where is he?

00:37:52He's fine.

00:37:53Mom is watching over him

00:37:54right now.

00:37:54You promised Sophie

00:37:55wouldn't discover a thing.

00:37:57Now she knows

00:37:58about the entire plan.

00:37:59How are you gonna fix this?

00:38:01That vindictive bitch

00:38:02made sure

00:38:03the gala scandal

00:38:04went public.

00:38:05She's trying to destroy me

00:38:06out of spite.

00:38:07I couldn't care less

00:38:08about Sophie.

00:38:09Your money,

00:38:10your company,

00:38:10everything you own

00:38:11must go to my son.

00:38:12Don't worry.

00:38:14I still have everything

00:38:14under control.

00:38:16Why did you come

00:38:17all the way here?

00:38:20Get some rest.

00:38:21I'll be right outside.

00:38:30Your wife has officially

00:38:31filed for divorce.

00:38:33The petition is already

00:38:34with the court.

00:38:35She actually had

00:38:36the nerve to file?

00:38:37Does Sophie seriously

00:38:38think I'm gonna back down?

00:38:39The evidence is damaging.

00:38:41She can prove the affair,

00:38:43the asset transfers,

00:38:44and potential tax violations.

00:38:46The facts are difficult

00:38:47to dispute.

00:38:48And from what I've heard,

00:38:50she's still holding back

00:38:51additional evidence.

00:38:53Then what the hell

00:38:54am I supposed to do?

00:38:56My advice is to settle.

00:38:58The more public this becomes,

00:39:00the worse it will be for you.

00:39:08Slowly, Sophie,

00:39:09Martha, bring her

00:39:10the honey lemonade.

00:39:11She needs to sober up a little.

00:39:12Did Rachel bring me home?

00:39:14My head hurts so much.

00:39:16I drank way too much last night,

00:39:17and everything after that

00:39:18is a total blank.

00:39:19After everything

00:39:20you've been through,

00:39:21you deserved one night

00:39:22to let it all out.

00:39:24Bottling it up

00:39:25would have been worse.

00:39:26Drink up, Miss Sophie.

00:39:28Mr. Whitmore asked me

00:39:29to have it ready for you.

00:39:30It's just the right temperature.

00:39:32Thanks, Martha.

00:39:33Miss Sophie,

00:39:34no more heavy drinking for you.

00:39:36Last night,

00:39:37you wrapped yourself

00:39:37around Mr. Whitmore,

00:39:40cried like a baby,

00:39:41and wouldn't let go.

00:39:43You practically

00:39:44sobbed yourself unconscious.

00:39:51Martha, please tell me

00:39:54you're joking.

00:39:55Not once.

00:39:56In all the years

00:39:57I've known you,

00:39:58have I ever seen you

00:39:59cry that hard?

00:40:00You clung to Mr. Whitman,

00:40:01apologized over and over,

00:40:02and promised you'd be

00:40:04the best granddaughter

00:40:05in the world from now on.

00:40:06Then you insisted

00:40:07he stay with you

00:40:08until you fell asleep.

00:40:09Martha, have mercy.

00:40:10Say another word,

00:40:11and Sophie may never

00:40:13show her face

00:40:14in this house again.

00:40:15Okay, okay.

00:40:16I'll stop.

00:40:17I'm going to bring out breakfast.

00:40:18I made everything you loved

00:40:20when you were younger,

00:40:21Miss Sophie.

00:40:23It's so embarrassing.

00:40:25There's no need

00:40:26to ever feel embarrassed

00:40:27around your grandfather's sweetheart.

00:40:30Now go freshen up

00:40:31and come back downstairs.

00:40:33Let's have some breakfast together.

00:40:34Yeah.

00:40:39You're far too thin, Sophie.

00:40:45You need to eat properly.

00:40:49Grandpa,

00:40:50I'm coming to Whitmore Materials

00:40:51group with you today.

00:40:52I'm ready to get started.

00:40:54There's no rush.

00:40:55Give yourself a few days to rest.

00:40:57I've had enough rest.

00:40:58Let me learn the ropes

00:41:00so you can finally stop

00:41:01exhausting yourself

00:41:02for the business.

00:41:03Then let's do it.

00:41:10What do you want?

00:41:12Sophie, we need to talk.

00:41:14All right.

00:41:14This morning,

00:41:15I need to go back

00:41:16and remove every last thing

00:41:17that belongs to me.

00:41:20Grandpa, I...

00:41:21It's okay, Sophie.

00:41:22Go close that chapter properly.

00:41:24I'll be waiting for you

00:41:25at the office this afternoon.

00:41:26I will.

00:41:43I can't change

00:41:45the past.

00:41:47But I'm not going

00:41:49to waste another second

00:41:50bleeding over it.

00:41:54Done with this, too.

00:42:00Sophie.

00:42:02What are you doing?

00:42:03Did your conscience

00:42:04rot so deeply

00:42:05that it blinded you?

00:42:06Fine.

00:42:07Open your eyes

00:42:08and watch this.

00:42:17You.

00:42:19How did I never see

00:42:20how ruthless you really are?

00:42:22If I showed any mercy,

00:42:24you and your family

00:42:25would leave me with nothing.

00:42:26Not even the scraps.

00:42:28You wanted to talk, Julian.

00:42:29I'm listening.

00:42:31Say what you came to say

00:42:32so we can get this over with.

00:42:33Fine.

00:42:34Tell me how much it'll take

00:42:35to make you go away.

00:42:36How much for what?

00:42:37Come on, Sophie.

00:42:38This entire spectacle

00:42:39is about money.

00:42:41How much do you want

00:42:41to withdraw the lawsuit?

00:42:431.5 million?

00:42:45Not even close.

00:42:46Fine.

00:42:47Three million dollars.

00:42:48That's more than enough,

00:42:49isn't it?

00:42:49When is it going

00:42:50to be enough, Sophie?

00:42:52Keep pushing like this

00:42:53and you're going to choke.

00:42:55Don't worry about me, Julian.

00:42:56My appetite

00:42:58has never been better.

00:43:00Four million dollars.

00:43:01This is my final offer.

00:43:03Sophie, think it through

00:43:04for yourself.

00:43:04You're a housewife

00:43:06with no job

00:43:07and no income.

00:43:08Do you know

00:43:08expensive a lawsuit is?

00:43:10Can you afford

00:43:11the lawyer's fees?

00:43:12I can afford it.

00:43:13You've got a lot

00:43:14of confidence

00:43:14for someone relying

00:43:15on one small-time lawyer.

00:43:17Prescott Development Group

00:43:18has an entire team

00:43:19of senior attorneys

00:43:20on retainer.

00:43:20Do you seriously think

00:43:21your friend stands

00:43:22a chance against them?

00:43:25Do you seriously think

00:43:26your friend stands

00:43:27a chance against them?

00:43:28Your team?

00:43:28You might want to ask

00:43:29Gavin about that.

00:43:30Your star attorney

00:43:31faced Rachel

00:43:32in three cases last year

00:43:33and she beat him

00:43:34every single time.

00:43:36You.

00:43:36Mr. Prescott,

00:43:37your wife has

00:43:38a very strong case,

00:43:39especially with Rachel

00:43:40handling it.

00:43:41She is not someone

00:43:42we should take lightly.

00:43:43What the hell

00:43:44do you want from me?

00:43:45I'm taking every single thing

00:43:47the law says belongs to me,

00:43:49not one cent less.

00:43:50What do you think

00:43:51the law can give you?

00:43:52On paper,

00:43:53you have nothing.

00:43:54No shares in

00:43:54Prescott Development Group.

00:43:55No name on the deed.

00:43:57Nothing.

00:43:57I'm offering you a way out

00:43:59because I'm being generous.

00:44:00Don't be stupid enough

00:44:01to reject it.

00:44:02Keep your generosity, Julian.

00:44:03The courts will decide

00:44:04exactly what I get,

00:44:05not you.

00:44:06You.

00:44:06Is that all?

00:44:07I have places to be.

00:44:09Sophie,

00:44:10we were married

00:44:11for ten years.

00:44:12Doesn't what we had

00:44:13count for anything?

00:44:14What do you gain

00:44:15by turning this into a war?

00:44:16What we had?

00:44:17Julian,

00:44:18you started your company

00:44:19with my $400,000

00:44:20You used my connections

00:44:22to land clients.

00:44:23You wore the suits

00:44:24I picked out

00:44:25when you went

00:44:26to pitch projects.

00:44:28Back when you were nobody,

00:44:30I was the one

00:44:31who stood beside you

00:44:32and helped you build

00:44:33everything from the ground up.

00:44:34And now you want to talk

00:44:35to me about what we had?

00:44:38Fine.

00:44:39Let's talk about what we had.

00:44:40It's sitting in the Beverly Hills mansion

00:44:42you bought Vivian.

00:44:43It's in the $11,000

00:44:44you wire her every month.

00:44:46It's growing inside her right now

00:44:48seven months along.

00:44:49And what did you leave me

00:44:50after ten years?

00:44:51A divorce agreement

00:44:52designed to strip me

00:44:53of everything

00:44:53and send me away

00:44:54with a pathetic

00:44:55$250,000 payoff.

00:45:02Wait.

00:45:03You weren't supposed to know

00:45:04about that agreement.

00:45:05Of course you haven't

00:45:05shown it to me yet.

00:45:06You were waiting for Vivian

00:45:07to give birth,

00:45:08move the shares into place,

00:45:09and then throw the divorce papers

00:45:10in my face.

00:45:11Too bad your devoted driver

00:45:12told me everything

00:45:13before you got the chance.

00:45:14George?

00:45:15That bastard sell me out?

00:45:16You should consider yourself lucky.

00:45:18He covered for you

00:45:19all these years.

00:45:20He didn't say a word

00:45:21until the day he retired.

00:45:22That still doesn't give him

00:45:23the right to sell me out.

00:45:24Sold you out?

00:45:25How much money

00:45:26do you give him per month?

00:45:27You paid him $2,000 a month.

00:45:29I gave him an extra

00:45:30$3,000 every month

00:45:31because I wanted him

00:45:32to take good care of you

00:45:33on the road.

00:45:34I gave him holiday bonuses.

00:45:35I helped pay

00:45:36for his daughter's education.

00:45:37When his wife was hospitalized,

00:45:39I covered the bills.

00:45:40And you?

00:45:41All you ever did

00:45:42was complain

00:45:43that I was wasting money.

00:45:44Sophie,

00:45:45so this was your plan all along?

00:45:47You've been buying the loyalty

00:45:48of everyone around me

00:45:49behind my back?

00:45:51Fine.

00:45:51Let's call it buying loyalty.

00:45:53But even at that, Julian,

00:45:54you still can't compete with me.

00:45:56How dare you?

00:45:57All that rage

00:45:57only proves one thing, Julian.

00:45:59You're powerless.

00:46:00I must have been blind

00:46:01to waste 10 years

00:46:02on a man like you.

00:46:04Sophie,

00:46:05$4 million.

00:46:06$4 million

00:46:07and you can keep the villa.

00:46:09That has to be enough.

00:46:11Sophie,

00:46:11you'll regret

00:46:12walking away

00:46:13from this offer.

00:46:15Trust me, Julian.

00:46:16I'm not the one

00:46:17who's going to regret this.

00:46:20She has no connections,

00:46:22no income,

00:46:22no one behind her.

00:46:24She's just a housewife.

00:46:25How the hell

00:46:26does she have the nerve?

00:46:36Sophie,

00:46:37thank you for coming.

00:46:42Hand them over.

00:46:47Sophie,

00:46:48this is all the information

00:46:49about those two

00:46:50offshore companies

00:46:51from Derek's computer.

00:46:52Passwords,

00:46:53accounts,

00:46:53transfer records,

00:46:54and scanned copies

00:46:55of the original nominees

00:46:56are all here.

00:46:58Until I say this is over,

00:46:59Julian doesn't hear a word

00:47:00about any of it.

00:47:01Understood?

00:47:02Of course.

00:47:03We won't tell him a word.

00:47:04That's enough.

00:47:05Go home.

00:47:06Sophie,

00:47:06I'm sorry.

00:47:08Before,

00:47:08I shouldn't have treated you

00:47:09like that.

00:47:10Your apology means nothing to me.

00:47:12I have somewhere to be.

00:47:13Bye.

00:47:16Bye.

00:47:20Bye.

00:47:21Bye.

00:47:22Bye.

00:47:26Bye.

00:47:28What's going on?

00:47:30Everyone,

00:47:30your attention please.

00:47:31Take a good look.

00:47:33This is my granddaughter Sophie,

00:47:35and she is the future head

00:47:37of Whitmore Materials Group.

00:47:39Welcome back,

00:47:40Miss Whitmore.

00:47:44Grandpa,

00:47:45I don't know what to say.

00:47:47Everything here will be yours.

00:47:49You deserve to be welcomed properly.

00:47:51Come on,

00:47:52let's make your return official.

00:47:54Let's go.

00:48:00Here's an overview of our key clients

00:48:01from the past several years.

00:48:04Please review it.

00:48:05Maintain normal deliveries

00:48:06for every other client.

00:48:08Prescott Development Group

00:48:09is the exception.

00:48:11Its payments have been repeatedly delayed

00:48:12since last year,

00:48:13with one invoice now

00:48:15four months past due.

00:48:16That violates Whitmore Materials Group's

00:48:18credit policy.

00:48:19But Prescott Development Group

00:48:20has been a stable client for years.

00:48:23Mr. Prescott has also

00:48:24assured us that...

00:48:25Julian's promises don't matter.

00:48:27The contract does.

00:48:28Suspend deliveries to any client

00:48:29whose payments are more than 60 days overdue.

00:48:32Any objections?

00:48:34Mr. Whitford,

00:48:35would you like to weigh in?

00:48:36Follow Sophie's instructions.

00:48:38Her word carries the same authority as mine.

00:48:41I know Prescott Development Group's internal situation better than anyone in this room.

00:48:46So let me be clear.

00:48:48Julian betrayed me.

00:48:49He stole 10 years of my life.

00:48:52I am absolutely making him pay for it.

00:48:54But I haven't broken a single rule.

00:48:56Now, does anyone still have a problem with my decision?

00:48:59We fully support the lady boss.

00:49:01We fully support the lady boss.

00:49:06You came in swinging.

00:49:10Your very first move put Prescott Development Group on the ropes.

00:49:14Damn, that was satisfying.

00:49:16I don't start wars, Rachel.

00:49:17But when someone comes for me,

00:49:19I finish that.

00:49:20Julian owes me this.

00:49:21Then I have the perfect follow-up.

00:49:23Let's give Ms. Whitfield another chance to make Julian pay.

00:49:31You went through all of Derek's files already?

00:49:35Julian's real assets aren't the public $1 billion.

00:49:38Market value, but $170 million in actual disposable funds.

00:49:42Of this, at least $45 million went offshore,

00:49:45with $30 million under Vivian's name,

00:49:47while the rest sits in Prescott Development Group's company account.

00:49:50If we take this all the way to court,

00:49:52how much can I realistically recover?

00:49:54Marriage law dictates an equal split of joint assets,

00:49:56but his affair and asset transfers change things.

00:49:59Our lawyer confirms the court will favor you as the injured party.

00:50:03A conservative estimate puts your share at $60 to $75 million.

00:50:08What if we claw back everything he moved?

00:50:10If we recover everything Julian moved,

00:50:12you walk away with at least $90 million.

00:50:14$90 million?

00:50:15Not bad.

00:50:16I put $400,000 into his startup 10 years ago.

00:50:19The return on that investment is better than I expected.

00:50:22But, it is not enough.

00:50:25What do you want?

00:50:27Prescott Development Group.

00:50:29You want to take the entire company away from Julian?

00:50:32I am not taking it from him.

00:50:34I am taking it back.

00:50:35Sophie, $90 million is already a substantial recovery.

00:50:39Going after the entire company is another matter.

00:50:42Prescott Development Group wouldn't even exist without my money and my connections.

00:50:45I built his empire, and now I'm going to tear it down.

00:50:49Rachel, leave Julian with nothing.

00:50:52Put him right back to where he was 10 years ago.

00:50:54Empty-handed and irrelevant.

00:50:57That is his punishment.

00:51:02It's already been three days.

00:51:05Why the hell hasn't Sophia responded yet?

00:51:09She's made up her mind.

00:51:10She's going to fight this lawsuit to the bitter end.

00:51:13That shameless bitch.

00:51:14You offered her a generous settlement,

00:51:16and she still has the nerve to refuse it.

00:51:19Let her keep feeding her greed.

00:51:21Sooner or Sater, she's going to choke on it.

00:51:24I'll give her some time to calm down.

00:51:25Then I'll sit down with her and try to negotiate again.

00:51:28Julian, I don't care what it takes.

00:51:30$4 million is the most you are giving her, not one cent more.

00:51:34Vivian.

00:51:34Let her sue.

00:51:35She has no family behind her and no resources of her own.

00:51:38Prescott Development Group has an entire legal team.

00:51:41Why should you be scared of her?

00:51:42Rachel is not some amateur.

00:51:44Our lawyers reviewed the situation,

00:51:46and they advised against going to war with her right now.

00:51:49Then what the hell am I supposed to think?

00:51:50You and your lawyers are useless.

00:51:52Vivian, this isn't like you.

00:51:54You never used to talk like this.

00:51:56I have always been this person, Julian.

00:51:59I refuse to stay trapped in the life I was born into,

00:52:01done working myself to the bone and counting pennies just to survive.

00:52:04So, I studied you.

00:52:06I learned exactly what you liked,

00:52:07and I molded myself into the perfect woman for you.

00:52:10So the sweet, understanding woman I knew never existed.

00:52:14Now that you have my son, you no longer need the costume.

00:52:16Is that it?

00:52:17I do love you.

00:52:18I never lied about that.

00:52:20But I love the money and the life that come with you, too.

00:52:22Why should those things be mutually exclusive?

00:52:25How can you?

00:52:26What?

00:52:27Starting to regret choosing me?

00:52:28I just need a little time to get used to everything.

00:52:31You can regret me all you want, Julian.

00:52:32Change is nothing.

00:52:34Even if you never put a ring on my finger,

00:52:36you still have a legal obligation to his inheritance rights,

00:52:38and you cannot cut him out of your life or your estate.

00:52:41The law will make sure of that.

00:52:43Vivian.

00:52:44Your relationship is your own business,

00:52:45but this child stays with us.

00:52:47He is the heir to the Prescott family.

00:52:49One last thing, Julian.

00:52:51I looked into your medical history.

00:52:52Your fertility never improved.

00:52:54With a count and motility that low,

00:52:56your chances of ever having another child are zero.

00:52:59You boxed me in completely.

00:53:01This was your plan all along, wasn't it?

00:53:03I can't believe this is who you actually are.

00:53:07Change your mind if you want to.

00:53:09We don't have to get married,

00:53:11but I'll make sure you never lay eyes on your child again.

00:53:14No!

00:53:14You cannot let that happen.

00:53:16This is my grandson.

00:53:17Julian, think carefully.

00:53:19Vivian is only asking for reassurance.

00:53:21Give her what she wants.

00:53:22All right.

00:53:23When you get out of the hospital,

00:53:25we will make it legal.

00:53:26Does that put your mind at ease?

00:53:27Transfer 40% of Prescott Development Group into my name.

00:53:31Once the shares are mine,

00:53:32I will sign the marriage license.

00:53:34Vivian, you...

00:53:35I have no interest in managing the company.

00:53:37You can remain in charge,

00:53:38but I will have the shares.

00:53:40That equity stale is the only real protection

00:53:42my son and I have.

00:53:43Our son is going to inherit everything I have.

00:53:45Why is that not enough?

00:53:46Why would I trust a promise like that?

00:53:48You cheated on Sophie and plan to throw her away.

00:53:50Once our son is older,

00:53:52you could do the same to me and fight me for custody.

00:53:54I have no income and you have an entire legal team.

00:53:59Without shares in my name,

00:54:00I could lose everything.

00:54:02You had this figured out from the beginning, did you?

00:54:04You abandoned Sophie for me

00:54:06and you could abandon me for another woman?

00:54:08I'm not as foolish and infatuated as she is.

00:54:11What I want is long-term security

00:54:13and that's an equity stake.

00:54:15Don't forget, Julian,

00:54:16my son is the only heir you'll ever have.

00:54:18He's the only one left to carry on your legacy.

00:54:20That makes me highly valuable to you,

00:54:23so think very carefully.

00:54:24Do I have any choice left?

00:54:26You closed off every exit

00:54:27before I even knew I was trapped.

00:54:30Vivian, I underestimated you completely.

00:54:32You chose this, Julian,

00:54:33and you can't undo regret.

00:54:34I'm taking over now.

00:54:36Your mother and our son will be taken care of.

00:54:37That's one thing you'll never have to worry about.

00:54:39I heard you.

00:54:39Get some rest.

00:54:40I have a meeting to attend at the company.

00:54:42You have three days

00:54:42to put the share transfer equipment in front of me.

00:54:44Until those shares are secured,

00:54:46I will not have peace of mind.

00:54:48I know.

00:54:50Mr. Prescott,

00:54:52can I have one damn minute of peace?

00:54:54Whitmore Materials Group has issued a formal notice to us.

00:54:56What does it say?

00:54:58They are citing repeated breaches of our contractual payment terms.

00:55:00Effective immediately,

00:55:02Whitmore Materials Group is cutting off all building materials supplies

00:55:04to every project we have under construction

00:55:05until we settle the outstanding balances in full.

00:55:09What the hell did you just say?

00:55:10They are cutting off materials to every active project?

00:55:15Mr. Prescott,

00:55:16we need a solution.

00:55:17We have three active construction projects,

00:55:19including Sierra Towers,

00:55:21which is 70% pre-sold.

00:55:22If our materials are cut off,

00:55:23we will miss our two-month delivery deadline.

00:55:25Sierra Towers alone faces a conservative

00:55:27$11 million in damages,

00:55:29and that doesn't even count the fallout

00:55:30for the other two projects.

00:55:32We've always had a great partnership

00:55:33with Whitmore Materials Group.

00:55:34Even when our payments were delayed,

00:55:36they prioritized our...

00:55:37Why would they suddenly cut off our building materials now?

00:55:40I...

00:55:41I made some calls.

00:55:42They said...

00:55:43What did they say?

00:55:44They only backed Prescott as a favor to Ms. Whitward.

00:55:46Now she's enforcing the contract exactly.

00:55:49Mrs. Whitmer,

00:55:50there isn't one in senior management.

00:55:51The only Whitmer running with Materials Group

00:55:54is Chairman Henry.

00:55:55Your...

00:55:57Your wife,

00:55:58Sophie.

00:55:59What the hell are you saying?

00:56:01Sophie was the one behind this?

00:56:02Wait.

00:56:04Julian,

00:56:05this is Ethan,

00:56:05a client relations manager

00:56:07at Whitmore Materials Group.

00:56:09Sophie did connect us

00:56:10to Whitmore Materials Group,

00:56:12but all she did

00:56:13was make an introduction.

00:56:14I'm the one who spent years

00:56:15maintaining that relationship.

00:56:16She spent all this time at home.

00:56:18How the hell could she have

00:56:19enough power at Whitmore

00:56:20to cut me off overnight?

00:56:32Sophie,

00:56:32what exactly did you do?

00:56:34Nothing much.

00:56:34Your payments are overdue,

00:56:35so I simply told Whitmore Materials Group

00:56:38to stop supplying your construction materials.

00:56:40You think you can take revenge on me like this?

00:56:42Listen to me, Sophie.

00:56:43You are not going to win.

00:56:45Let's see which one of us

00:56:46is still standing when this is over.

00:56:47What the hell is your connection

00:56:49to Whitmore Materials Group?

00:56:50I spent ten years building that relationship.

00:56:52How did you cut me off just like that?

00:56:54Because my surname is Whitmore.

00:56:56Whitmore?

00:56:58Whitmore,

00:56:58as in the family that owns

00:57:00Whitmore Materials Group.

00:57:03Whitmore,

00:57:03as in Henry Whitmore,

00:57:05the chairman himself.

00:57:08Why is he here?

00:57:09Who knows?

00:57:10Now that our Miss Whitmore

00:57:11is back on top,

00:57:12he probably came crawling over here

00:57:14to beg her to spare him.

00:57:15I need to see Sophie.

00:57:16Do you have an appointment?

00:57:17No.

00:57:18Tell her I won't leave this house

00:57:19until she agrees to see me.

00:57:21Mrs. Whitmore,

00:57:22Julian would like to see you.

00:57:24He says he won't leave

00:57:25unless you meet meet with him.

00:57:26Of course.

00:57:27Understood.

00:57:30Come with me.

00:57:33Miss Whitmore,

00:57:34Mr. Prescott has arrived.

00:57:37You may go now.

00:57:45You're really different

00:57:46from the woman you used to be.

00:57:48Whatever you came here to say,

00:57:49say it now.

00:57:49I have work to do.

00:57:50You're the heir to Whitmore Materials Group.

00:57:52How could you keep something

00:57:53this important from me?

00:57:54I went against my grandfather for you.

00:57:55I gave up my family for you,

00:57:57and what did I get in return?

00:57:58I nearly got thrown out of my own home.

00:58:00The more I think about it,

00:58:01the more pathetic this whole thing feels.

00:58:03I was wrong.

00:58:04I handle it poorly.

00:58:06Fine.

00:58:06But we built a life together.

00:58:07Are you truly prepared

00:58:08to leave me with absolutely nothing?

00:58:10Your payment deadline has passed.

00:58:12I'm doing exactly

00:58:13what the contract allows me to do.

00:58:15It was a temporary cash flow problem.

00:58:17Very real estate company

00:58:18is a few days late

00:58:19paying an invoice sometimes.

00:58:20That's how this industry works,

00:58:21and you know it.

00:58:22I know,

00:58:23but I can give other

00:58:24real estate companies a chance.

00:58:25You don't get one.

00:58:26If I gave you a chance

00:58:27after everything you've done,

00:58:28I'd feel sick about it

00:58:29for the rest of my life.

00:58:33Julian,

00:58:34I'm taking over

00:58:35a Prescott development group

00:58:36for good.

00:58:37Don't look to other suppliers

00:58:38for help either.

00:58:38I've convinced them all

00:58:39to follow Whitmore's lead

00:58:40and demand payment

00:58:41before delivery.

00:58:42Sophie,

00:58:43you're a cold-blooded,

00:58:43vicious woman.

00:58:45You don't care about loyalty

00:58:46or everything you've shared

00:58:47over the years.

00:58:47Right?

00:58:48If I weren't a bit ruthless,

00:58:50how could I possibly outwit you

00:58:51who's been pretending

00:58:52for ten years?

00:58:53You?

00:58:54Unless you have anything else,

00:58:55get the hell out.

00:58:56My time is worth

00:58:57too much to waste on you.

00:58:59Sophie,

00:59:01are you really going to

00:59:02take this all the way?

00:59:02see yourself out.

00:59:05How stupid would I have to be

00:59:07to give you another chance

00:59:08to cause trouble?

00:59:16Yeah?

00:59:17Julian,

00:59:17you haven't come to the hospital

00:59:18to see the baby

00:59:19in two days.

00:59:20We're being discharged today.

00:59:22Come pick us up.

00:59:23Fine.

00:59:24I know.

00:59:29Julian,

00:59:29I saw the news.

00:59:31Is Sophie really the Whitmore?

00:59:33Miss Whitmore?

00:59:34The only heir

00:59:35to Whitmore Materials Group?

00:59:36Is it true?

00:59:38It's true.

00:59:40Oh.

00:59:42What is it?

00:59:43Regret?

00:59:44Are you finally realizing

00:59:46what you cost

00:59:46your precious son?

00:59:48He had a golden ticket

00:59:49and he completely

00:59:50threw it away.

00:59:51That's not...

00:59:52That's fine.

00:59:53You can bring her back

00:59:54and make her

00:59:54your precious daughter-in-law again.

00:59:56I'll take my son

00:59:57and leave

00:59:57so she can have

00:59:58her place back.

00:59:59Vivian,

01:00:00don't read too much into it.

01:00:01I was just curious.

01:00:02I was only asking...

01:00:04Let's go home first.

01:00:19Julian,

01:00:19your three days are up.

01:00:22Where is the

01:00:22share transfer agreement?

01:00:24The company

01:00:24is about to go under

01:00:25and you're still

01:00:26thinking about shares?

01:00:29What do you mean?

01:00:30You were both

01:00:31so focused on Sophie

01:00:32going back to

01:00:33Whitmore Materials Group

01:00:34that you never stopped

01:00:35to think she might retaliate?

01:00:3740% of our

01:00:38construction materials

01:00:38come from Whitmore.

01:00:40Now she's aggressively

01:00:41chasing every overdue payment.

01:00:43Whitmore Materials Group

01:00:45isn't the only

01:00:45construction materials

01:00:46supplier in the city.

01:00:47Sophie convinced

01:00:48every supplier in the city

01:00:49to switch to cash up front.

01:00:50Every dollar the company

01:00:51has is locked

01:00:52into active projects.

01:00:53We can't break through this.

01:00:54Prescott Development Group

01:00:55goes under.

01:00:56So forget the shares.

01:00:58Forget your fantasy

01:00:59of using them

01:00:59to climb into a higher

01:01:00social class.

01:01:01It is never going to happen.

01:01:03Is it really that serious?

01:01:04On my way to the hospital,

01:01:06the bank called

01:01:07demanding our

01:01:07four million dollars

01:01:08loan repayment

01:01:09or they will freeze

01:01:10our assets.

01:01:11Plus,

01:01:12the divorce hits court

01:01:13the day after tomorrow.

01:01:14If we lose,

01:01:15she gets at least

01:01:1630% of everything.

01:01:17Then go beg her, Julian.

01:01:18You were her husband.

01:01:19She used to hang

01:01:20on your every word.

01:01:21She loved you enough

01:01:22to give up everything

01:01:23for you.

01:01:23She might still listen.

01:01:25Begging will only give Sophie

01:01:26the chance to humiliate him.

01:01:27A wounded woman

01:01:27can be cooler than any man.

01:01:29Stop hoping she'll

01:01:30suddenly show mercy.

01:01:31She won't.

01:01:31I seriously underestimated

01:01:32just how calculating you are.

01:01:34I know you regret

01:01:35starting this with me.

01:01:36I know you're already

01:01:37sick of me.

01:01:38But I don't care.

01:01:39Sleep with as many women

01:01:40as you want after this.

01:01:41It makes no difference to me.

01:01:42You know, having my son

01:01:43gives you all the leverage

01:01:44you need.

01:01:45And he'll be my only son.

01:01:47That's your whole plan,

01:01:48isn't it?

01:01:48Exactly.

01:01:49So even if you build

01:01:50another home with someone else

01:01:52and never come back here again,

01:01:53it doesn't matter to me.

01:01:55Turns out you're the coldest

01:01:56one of us all.

01:01:58Can love feed me?

01:02:00Can I cash it out

01:02:02and spend it?

01:02:03Can it secure

01:02:04the rest of my life?

01:02:07Come on, Julian.

01:02:09You're not some naive

01:02:10little boy who still thinks

01:02:11feelings are worth anything.

01:02:14You.

01:02:15Go kneel in front of Sophie

01:02:17and beg her

01:02:17where everyone can see you.

01:02:19The wealthier people are,

01:02:20the more they care

01:02:21about their reputation.

01:02:22So use public pressure

01:02:23and guilt against her.

01:02:25I refuse to believe

01:02:26she'll remain unmoved.

01:02:27How can you be so cruel, Vivian?

01:02:29When Sophia was here,

01:02:31she always treated

01:02:31my mother with respect.

01:02:33But you...

01:02:33Stop bringing her up around me.

01:02:35You're the one

01:02:35who plotted to kick her out.

01:02:37Your little plan

01:02:37just blew up in your face.

01:02:39And now you're stuck

01:02:39with no way forward

01:02:40and no way back.

01:02:41None of this would have happened

01:02:42if you hadn't seduced me.

01:02:43Don't pin all this shit on me.

01:02:45If you weren't interested,

01:02:46how exactly did I end up

01:02:47in your bed?

01:02:48If you hadn't dropped

01:02:49your own pants,

01:02:50would I be standing here

01:02:51with your son?

01:02:52Julian, quit acting

01:02:53like some innocent victim.

01:02:54You cheated on your wife.

01:02:55Now you're looking at your son

01:02:57and pretending

01:02:57you're some tragic victim?

01:02:59Give me a break.

01:03:01You cheated on your wife

01:03:02and you got played.

01:03:04Deal with it.

01:03:05You fucking...

01:03:11Go ahead, Julian.

01:03:12Hit me.

01:03:13I dare you.

01:03:14Lay one finger on me

01:03:16and I'll take our son

01:03:17and disappear.

01:03:17You'll never see him again.

01:03:19Just let it go.

01:03:21If you don't believe me,

01:03:22try it.

01:03:23But Mom...

01:03:26All right.

01:03:27I'm gonna check on my grandson.

01:03:28You two need to stop fighting.

01:03:30Julian, cut the devoted son act.

01:03:33Everyone in this room

01:03:34knows you're a complete fraud.

01:03:36Vivian, how did you become like this?

01:03:38I've always been like this.

01:03:40Enough.

01:03:41This isn't the time

01:03:42to turn on each other.

01:03:43If we can't persuade Sophie,

01:03:44then we'll fight her in court.

01:03:45We already quietly moved

01:03:46most of the assets

01:03:47out of reach some time ago.

01:03:49At worst, she gets half

01:03:49of whatever is still under your name.

01:03:51You make it sound so simple.

01:03:53What other choice do we have?

01:03:54If this keeps going,

01:03:56nobody wins.

01:03:57Let her get it out of her system.

01:03:58We lose some money,

01:03:59buy our way out of trouble

01:04:00and move on with our lives.

01:04:02Fine.

01:04:03That's the only move we have left.

01:04:05But I'll need the $30 million

01:04:06sitting in your private accounts

01:04:07to keep the business afloat.

01:04:08No way.

01:04:09That money is my safety net.

01:04:11Nobody gets to touch it.

01:04:11You selfish!

01:04:13You've got three active developments.

01:04:15Sell off the other two

01:04:16and focus everything on Sierra Towers.

01:04:18There.

01:04:19Problem solved.

01:04:20Whitmore Materials Group

01:04:21won't have you by the throat anymore.

01:04:26The court is now in session

01:04:28in the matter of

01:04:28Sophie Whitman vs. Julian Prescott,

01:04:30a divorce action.

01:04:33These are the complete records

01:04:34showing that Mr. Prescott

01:04:36transferred his personal assets

01:04:38through two offshore companies

01:04:40registered in the Cayman Islands,

01:04:43Khaven Holdings

01:04:45and Luging International.

01:04:47How could she know about this?

01:04:48Over a three-year period,

01:04:50he moved a total of $45 million.

01:04:53Of that,

01:04:53$30 million ended up

01:04:55under the name of a third party,

01:04:57Mrs. Vivian.

01:04:58You transferred assets?

01:04:59This puts you in a very bad position.

01:05:01Why didn't you tell me sooner?

01:05:02Gavin, you need to get me out of this.

01:05:03There has to be something you can do.

01:05:04What exactly do you expect me to do now?

01:05:06Counsel,

01:05:08order in the court.

01:05:09The evidence presented by the petitioner

01:05:11indicates that

01:05:12significant assets have been transferred.

01:05:15Because there is a risk of further dissipation,

01:05:18the petitioner's request

01:05:19for an asset freeze is granted.

01:05:25Sophie!

01:05:27Tell me exactly how much you want.

01:05:28Name your price

01:05:29and let's end this.

01:05:30I told you already.

01:05:31I'm taking you all the way back

01:05:32to the life you had 10 years ago.

01:05:33If you keep pushing me like this

01:05:34and Prescott Development Group collapses,

01:05:36you won't get any money either.

01:05:37We'll both lose everything.

01:05:38Even if I don't get a single cent,

01:05:40I will have my revenge.

01:05:42Besides,

01:05:43whether Prescott Development Group

01:05:44collapses or survives

01:05:46is entirely up to me.

01:05:497.5 million.

01:05:50I'll give you 7.5 million

01:05:52and the villa.

01:05:52That satisfy you?

01:05:53Not even close.

01:05:5615 million.

01:05:57Sophie, 15 million.

01:05:58That has to be enough, right?

01:06:00Vivian costs you over $30

01:06:02yet you think you can get rid of me

01:06:03for half that?

01:06:04You seriously underestimate me

01:06:06if you think I'm someone

01:06:07you can just push around.

01:06:08And do you honestly think

01:06:09I care about your $15 million?

01:06:12I want all of it.

01:06:16Everything.

01:06:19Sophie!

01:06:20You've completely lost your mind!

01:06:22You're fucking crazy!

01:06:23How did she find out

01:06:24about the $30 million

01:06:25you transferred to me?

01:06:26You said those transfers

01:06:27were well hidden.

01:06:28You said there was no chance

01:06:29anything could go wrong.

01:06:30But she knows now.

01:06:31I already told you.

01:06:32That $30 million

01:06:33is my safety net.

01:06:34Even if you end up with nothing,

01:06:35I still need it to live on

01:06:36for the rest of my life.

01:06:37Nobody touches that money.

01:06:38Tell that to the judge.

01:06:39Go ahead.

01:06:41What do we do now?

01:06:42What choice do we have?

01:06:43We give Sophie

01:06:43whatever she wants.

01:06:44Right now,

01:06:44I only care about keeping

01:06:45Prescott Development Group alive.

01:06:46Even after I hand over

01:06:47half the shares,

01:06:48Derek still controls

01:06:48a block of stock for me.

01:06:49Add that to what I keep

01:06:50and I'm still the largest shareholder.

01:06:52Prescott Development Group

01:06:52still answers to me.

01:06:56And once Sophie

01:06:57owns the second largest share,

01:06:59she won't be able

01:06:59to destroy the company

01:07:00without destroying

01:07:01her own investment.

01:07:03Fine.

01:07:04You can give her the shares.

01:07:05But you are not touching

01:07:06a single cent of my money.

01:07:08The shares aren't enough.

01:07:10I also have to give her money.

01:07:11I don't have enough cash.

01:07:12How is that my problem?

01:07:14I already told you

01:07:15that 30 million

01:07:16is my safety net.

01:07:17It's mine.

01:07:19What did you just say?

01:07:21After everything

01:07:22that's happened,

01:07:23you still think

01:07:24you can walk away clean?

01:07:25You think this has

01:07:26nothing to do with you?

01:07:27Keep dreaming.

01:07:30What are you doing?

01:07:32Let her go.

01:07:34Why can't the two of you

01:07:35talk this through calmly?

01:07:36Mom, stay out of this.

01:07:37Give me the money

01:07:37and I'll go settle

01:07:38with Sophie immediately.

01:07:39Then the company

01:07:39can still be saved

01:07:40and you can keep living

01:07:40the life of a wealthy wife.

01:07:41If you refuse,

01:07:42wait for the court

01:07:42and force to its order.

01:07:43You still won't

01:07:44keep a single cent.

01:07:45But I...

01:07:46The company is my life.

01:07:48If you won't give me

01:07:49the money to save it,

01:07:50then today's the end

01:07:51for both of us.

01:07:52Okay, okay.

01:07:53I'll transfer it.

01:07:54Just let go of me.

01:07:55Transfer the money

01:07:56to me right now.

01:07:59Done.

01:08:00It's sent.

01:08:01I asked nicely before.

01:08:03Now,

01:08:03you don't get a choice.

01:08:10I'll give you half

01:08:11of the assets.

01:08:12I'll also give you half

01:08:13of the 61% state

01:08:15I currently hold.

01:08:17If you have no objections,

01:08:20sign the property

01:08:21settlement agreement.

01:08:25Oh?

01:08:25Why are you being

01:08:26so cooperative this time?

01:08:27Prescott Development Group

01:08:28can't afford to drag this out

01:08:29any longer.

01:08:29Is that the answer you wanted?

01:08:30But I'm still having fun, Julian.

01:08:32I'm nowhere near finished with you.

01:08:33Sophie, don't push this too far.

01:08:35I've already made

01:08:35the biggest concession I can...

01:08:36You're the one begging me for mercy.

01:08:37Are you sure that's the tone

01:08:38you want to use?

01:08:39You!

01:08:40Mrs. Whitford,

01:08:41even if the court issues a ruling,

01:08:42the outcome would be

01:08:43substantially the same.

01:08:44If Prescott Development Group

01:08:46goes bankrupt,

01:08:47none of this will have

01:08:47any value to you.

01:08:49Wouldn't you agree?

01:08:50The agreement checks out.

01:08:51Everything is clean.

01:08:52All right.

01:08:53Now you can lift the restrictions

01:08:54on Prescott Development Group, right?

01:08:56The divorce comes first.

01:08:57Once it's finalized,

01:08:57I'll lift the restrictions.

01:08:59After all,

01:08:59I'm now a major shareholder

01:09:00in Prescott Development Group too.

01:09:01I have no interest

01:09:02in losing money.

01:09:03Deal.

01:09:05That's it?

01:09:06You're just letting him go?

01:09:07Not a chance.

01:09:08I meant what I said.

01:09:10I'm going to ruin him

01:09:10until he has nothing left.

01:09:12I knew it.

01:09:16Uncle Charlie,

01:09:17I'm ready to talk through

01:09:18the partnership

01:09:18we discussed last time.

01:09:20Sophie,

01:09:21I've been waiting

01:09:21for your call for three days.

01:09:22Then I'll come over shortly

01:09:23and we can catch up.

01:09:24Sounds good.

01:09:25I'll have the most delicious

01:09:26pastries waiting for you.

01:09:28This Uncle Charlie is?

01:09:30Charles Dawson.

01:09:31He's the powerhouse

01:09:32behind Libra Capital

01:09:33and a childhood friend

01:09:34of my father's.

01:09:36Two years ago,

01:09:37he threw Julian

01:09:37a financial lifeline

01:09:38in exchange

01:09:39for a 12% stake.

01:09:4112% plus the 17%

01:09:42Derek is holding

01:09:43on Julian's behalf.

01:09:44That makes 29%.

01:09:45And Julian has to give me

01:09:46at least half

01:09:46of the 61% stake

01:09:48under his name.

01:09:48Then your total stake

01:09:49will exceed 50%.

01:09:50Exactly.

01:09:51The outcome of this battle

01:09:51was decided

01:09:52from the very beginning.

01:09:53Julian simply had no idea.

01:09:54Holy shit.

01:09:55You're a fucking genius.

01:10:10I'm one of Prescott

01:10:12Development Group's

01:10:13shareholders now.

01:10:15Set up a shareholders meeting.

01:10:17There is something

01:10:18important I need to announce.

01:10:27Let me introduce Sophie,

01:10:29the second largest shareholder

01:10:30in our company.

01:10:31She now holds

01:10:33pay 30% straights.

01:10:35Please welcome her.

01:10:38I propose that Julian

01:10:40be removed as chairman

01:10:41and expelled from the board.

01:10:44Sophie,

01:10:44are you out of your

01:10:45goddamn mind?

01:10:47Let's put it

01:10:48to a show of hands.

01:10:49Sophie,

01:10:50holding the same percentage

01:10:51of shares

01:10:52doesn't make you my equal.

01:10:53I built and ran

01:10:54Prescott Development Group

01:10:56for years.

01:10:57You can't just walk

01:10:58through the door

01:10:59and kick me out

01:11:00of my own company.

01:11:01You're delusional.

01:11:13Derek!

01:11:14What do you think

01:11:14you're doing?

01:11:15You're my cousin.

01:11:16You're only holding

01:11:17those shares on my behalf.

01:11:19How dare you betray me?

01:11:21Julian,

01:11:22Prescott Development Group

01:11:23only succeeded

01:11:24because of Sophie.

01:11:25I mean,

01:11:26Miss Witware.

01:11:27The company will do better

01:11:28with her in charge.

01:11:29I agree.

01:11:30Mr. Dawson,

01:11:31what exactly did Sophie

01:11:32offer you?

01:11:33Mr. Prescott,

01:11:34when you were raising capital,

01:11:36I purchased those shares

01:11:37because of Sophie.

01:11:39Without her,

01:11:39do you honestly think

01:11:40I would have believed

01:11:41in your company

01:11:42and invested in it?

01:11:44You.

01:11:44Of course,

01:11:45business is business.

01:11:47The company's interests

01:11:47come before everything else.

01:11:50Your personal affairs

01:11:52have already seriously damaged

01:11:54its share price

01:11:55and reputation.

01:11:56As a shareholder,

01:11:57I have a responsibility

01:11:58to protect my investment.

01:12:03The vote carries.

01:12:04As of today,

01:12:05Prescott Development Group

01:12:06will officially become

01:12:07Whitmore Development Group.

01:12:08You,

01:12:09you're swallowing up my company.

01:12:10You're taking Prescott Development Group

01:12:12away from me.

01:12:15You,

01:12:15you're swallowing up my company.

01:12:17You're taking Prescott Development Group

01:12:19away from me.

01:12:20Wrong, Julian.

01:12:21Prescott Development Group

01:12:22is already gone.

01:12:23Tomorrow,

01:12:24I'm sending in

01:12:24a professional management team

01:12:25to restructure every asset

01:12:27and rebuild the company

01:12:28from the ground up.

01:12:29You're planning to dilute

01:12:30my shares, too?

01:12:31If you have an obsession,

01:12:32keep it to yourself.

01:12:33Your opinion no longer matters here.

01:12:35Fine, Sophie.

01:12:35You win.

01:12:36You took everything.

01:12:37Prescott Development Group

01:12:38is yours now.

01:12:42Miss Furthermore,

01:12:43the share's under my name.

01:12:45Out of that 17%,

01:12:462% becomes yours.

01:12:48Transfer 5% to George for me.

01:12:50The rest comes directly to me.

01:12:52Thank you, Miss Whitmore.

01:12:54Thank you so much.

01:12:55We're done here.

01:12:56Meeting adjourned.

01:13:04Julian, you're back.

01:13:06You're officially divorced now.

01:13:08We can finally be together

01:13:09and get married.

01:13:10Before she had the baby,

01:13:12this was exactly how

01:13:13she pretended to be innocent.

01:13:14What's wrong, sweetheart?

01:13:16Why are you looking at me like that?

01:13:25Honey, we need to give our child

01:13:27a complete family, don't we?

01:13:29Fine.

01:13:29We can get married.

01:13:31But understand this clearly.

01:13:32I'm doing it for my son,

01:13:34not for you.

01:13:36But you won't receive any shares.

01:13:37All of my assets

01:13:39will be premarital property.

01:13:40What?

01:13:41No.

01:13:42You have to give me

01:13:43half of the shares.

01:13:45You promised me.

01:13:47You still have the nerve

01:13:48to ask me for shares?

01:13:50Because of you,

01:13:51I was removed from the board.

01:13:53Prescott Development Group

01:13:54belongs to Sophie now.

01:13:56What did you say?

01:13:57Prescott Development Group

01:13:58no longer exists.

01:14:00Sophie renamed it

01:14:01Whitmore Development Group

01:14:02and the board

01:14:03threw me out of my own company.

01:14:06How did this happen?

01:14:07That's all because of you.

01:14:09Prescott Development Group

01:14:10is gone.

01:14:11And at least half

01:14:12of my remaining shares

01:14:13will be diluted.

01:14:14You couldn't keep it

01:14:14in your pants?

01:14:15And now you're blaming

01:14:16a woman for the consequences?

01:14:18I don't care.

01:14:19You promised me shares.

01:14:20Even if you only have

01:14:2110% left,

01:14:22you still owe me 5%.

01:14:23If you refuse,

01:14:25I'll take our son

01:14:26and leave.

01:14:27Your family line

01:14:28will end with you.

01:14:30Don't you dare.

01:14:31Try me.

01:14:33What's going on?

01:14:34Why are the two of you

01:14:35arguing again?

01:14:36Don't hurt the baby!

01:14:39Back off.

01:14:40Keep your hands

01:14:41hands off my baby.

01:14:44Mom, are you okay?

01:14:45I'm fine.

01:14:46Don't worry about me.

01:14:51You bitch!

01:14:52How dare you push my mother!

01:14:54I don't care about

01:14:54anything else.

01:14:56Give me my shares.

01:14:57Yes or no.

01:15:02Give me back my baby!

01:15:05Mom, take my son

01:15:07and leave right now.

01:15:08Don't stop for anything.

01:15:10Okay, okay.

01:15:12Bring my son back!

01:15:14Give me my baby!

01:15:18Give me my baby!

01:15:33Jillian!

01:15:36If you walk away

01:15:37with my son,

01:15:38I swear I'll

01:15:39throw myself

01:15:40off this roof!

01:15:41Vivian,

01:15:42please calm down.

01:15:44Whatever you want,

01:15:45we can discuss it.

01:15:46Jillian,

01:15:47give me back my child

01:15:48and give me the shares.

01:15:50You promised me both!

01:15:52Go ahead and jump

01:15:53if you want.

01:15:54You are never

01:15:55getting my son back.

01:15:56Forget it.

01:15:57Jillian,

01:15:58don't say that.

01:15:59Mom,

01:16:00she's only trying

01:16:01to scare us.

01:16:02Some someone

01:16:02calculating as she is

01:16:04would never jump.

01:16:05Let's go.

01:16:06Jillian,

01:16:07wait!

01:16:10Vivian.

01:16:11Vivian!

01:16:16Vivian!

01:16:17Don't just stand there!

01:16:19Call 911!

01:16:23Grandpa.

01:16:26I put together

01:16:28the integration plan

01:16:29for Whitmore Materials Group

01:16:30and Prescott Development Group.

01:16:31Take a look

01:16:32when you have a minute.

01:16:33You don't need my approval

01:16:35for things like this anymore.

01:16:37I trust us to your judgment.

01:16:38Grandpa.

01:16:40You lost your parents

01:16:41so young

01:16:42and I'm not going to be

01:16:44around forever.

01:16:45You're the last

01:16:46of the Whitmays.

01:16:47This legacy

01:16:48was always meant for you.

01:16:54I promise,

01:16:55I promise, Grandpa,

01:16:56I won't disappoint you.

01:16:58I believe

01:16:59Whitmore Materials Group

01:17:00will do even better

01:17:01under your leadership.

01:17:14Doctor, how is she?

01:17:15The patient's spine

01:17:16is severely damaged.

01:17:17Although her life

01:17:18has been saved,

01:17:19but she may be paralyzed

01:17:21for life in the future.

01:17:23How did it all come to this?

01:17:25We had a good family once.

01:17:27How did everything

01:17:28fall apart so fast?

01:17:30It's karma.

01:17:32This is our punishment.

01:17:33Yeah.

01:17:35This is our punishment.

01:17:37Every bit of it.

01:17:55Sofra, I love you.

01:17:57I'll give you

01:17:58the whole world.

01:18:01What have I done?

01:18:03She gave me everything

01:18:05and I destroyed it

01:18:06with my own hands.

01:18:07I was wrong.

01:18:09God, I was so wrong.

01:18:12Julian.

01:18:13I can do any of it.

01:18:15I can never get her back.

01:18:17Never again.

01:18:19Fell off the rooftop.

01:18:20Is she okay?

01:18:21The spine was injured

01:18:22and the doctor said

01:18:24it's very likely

01:18:24she'll be paralyzed for life

01:18:25with little chance of recovery.

01:18:27Call it karma.

01:18:28She wanted to be the mistress

01:18:29and destroy a family

01:18:30so she had no one

01:18:31to blame but herself.

01:18:34All right, that's enough.

01:18:35Leave me alone for a moment.

01:18:38Of course, Ms. Whitworth.

01:18:45Julian.

01:18:50Julian?

01:18:52Shouldn't you be at the hospital

01:18:53with your little sweetheart?

01:18:54Why are you here?

01:18:56Sophie, I know I have no right

01:18:57to ask anything of you

01:18:58after what I did

01:18:59but there is one thing

01:19:00I need you to agree with.

01:19:01Go ahead

01:19:02but I'm not promising

01:19:03I'll agree.

01:19:04Buy out all the shares

01:19:05I have left.

01:19:07What's your price?

01:19:09$400,000.

01:19:11Brother, you're crazy.

01:19:1330% of the stock

01:19:14is enough to ensure you

01:19:14a worry-free life

01:19:15for the rest of your life.

01:19:16How could you sell it

01:19:17for just $4,000?

01:19:18Vivian is still lying

01:19:19in the hospital

01:19:20and your kid needs your support.

01:19:21I said $4,000.

01:19:22I gave you $400,000

01:19:24to get started

01:19:2510 years ago.

01:19:26Are you giving everything back

01:19:28because you finally

01:19:28want to make amends?

01:19:30Or are you taking

01:19:30the same $400,000

01:19:32and trying again

01:19:33desperate to prove

01:19:34that your success

01:19:34was ever truly yours?

01:19:36Julian, don't do this.

01:19:37You're throwing everything away.

01:19:40Okay.

01:19:41I'll buy them.

01:19:43My son.

01:19:45Give him back to me.

01:19:47Vivian, you can't even move.

01:19:48We'll talk about it

01:19:50when you're doing better.

01:19:51I want it now.

01:19:52Give me back my son.

01:19:54That's my child.

01:19:55What right does your family

01:19:56have to take my child away?

01:19:58You're all a bunch of liars.

01:20:02Julian, you lying bastard.

01:20:05What are you screaming about?

01:20:07You can't move.

01:20:08How are you supposed

01:20:08to take care of a baby?

01:20:09Then give me my 30%.

01:20:10You promised me

01:20:12those shares, Julian.

01:20:13You are the reason

01:20:14I'm trapped in this bed.

01:20:15You owe me.

01:20:16The shares, they're gone.

01:20:18What?

01:20:19I sold all of my shares.

01:20:21You sold all of it?

01:20:22Go ahead.

01:20:23Guess what my entire stake

01:20:24was worth in the end.

01:20:25I don't care what you got for them.

01:20:27Just give me the money.

01:20:28I sold all of it

01:20:29for $400,000.

01:20:30$400,000?

01:20:32You gave away 30%

01:20:33of the company

01:20:33for $400,000?

01:20:35Julian, are you insane?

01:20:36How are our son

01:20:37and I supposed to live?

01:20:38Didn't you go to great lengths

01:20:39to marry me

01:20:39and become Mrs. Prescott?

01:20:41We'll get married

01:20:42after you're discharged

01:20:43from the hospital

01:20:44and I'll let you be

01:20:45the Mishin's Miss Prescott

01:20:46for the rest of your life.

01:20:48No.

01:20:48Right and wrong

01:20:48stopped mattering

01:20:49a long time ago.

01:20:50Relax, Vivian.

01:20:51I won't leave you

01:20:52just because you're paralyzed.

01:20:54I'll be by your side

01:20:54for the rest of your life.

01:20:56You wanted me so badly.

01:20:57Now we can spend

01:20:58every remaining day

01:20:59destroying each other.

01:21:00No.

01:21:01I don't want to marry you anymore.

01:21:03Get away from me.

01:21:04Stay the hell away from me.

01:21:06I'd rather die

01:21:06than spend my life with you.

01:21:08Julian.

01:21:08Mom, Sophie gave me

01:21:10$400,000

01:21:1110 years ago

01:21:11and made my success possible.

01:21:14I sold every share

01:21:14back to her

01:21:15for exactly $400,000.

01:21:17The public statement is out

01:21:18and the agreement

01:21:18has been notarified.

01:21:19There is no undoing it now.

01:21:21This is the debt I owe her.

01:21:23Maybe this is how

01:21:24it has to end.

01:21:26At least now

01:21:27I've finally repaid

01:21:28what you owed her.

01:21:29Sophia.

01:21:30Again.

01:21:30Why does she get everything?

01:21:32Why are you all punishing me?

01:21:33Tell that bitch

01:21:34to give me my money back!

01:21:35Go ahead.

01:21:36Keep screaming.

01:21:37You can't go anywhere.

01:21:40Once you wear yourself out

01:21:41at least we'll get

01:21:42some peace and quiet.

01:21:45I rebuilt Prescott Development Group

01:21:47and got it running again.

01:21:48Sierra Towers was delivered

01:21:49right on schedule.

01:21:51Starhaven Hay sold out

01:21:52on its very first day

01:21:53with $150 million in sales.

01:21:55Once Whitmore Materials Group

01:21:57and Prescott Development Group

01:21:58completed their integration,

01:22:00we controlled the entire supply chain

01:22:01from top to bottom.

01:22:02Our combined valuations

01:22:04soared past $2.25 billion.

01:22:06Their combined market value

01:22:08surpassed $2.25 billion.

01:22:11Where's Sophie?

01:22:12Make her come here and see me.

01:22:13Vivian, if you keep causing trouble

01:22:14we'll bring you out.

01:22:15Exactly.

01:22:15After what you've done

01:22:16you still have the nerve

01:22:17to come looking for Miss Whitmer?

01:22:18Have you no shame?

01:22:19I lost the shares and the money.

01:22:20Why the hell should I care about shame?

01:22:22Get that bitch Sophie out here!

01:22:23What's going on here?

01:22:25You bitch!

01:22:26Give me back the money and the shares!

01:22:28They were supposed to be mine

01:22:29and my son's!

01:22:32Are you done making a scene?

01:22:34Julian, that bitch called you here

01:22:35to throw me out, didn't she?

01:22:37I am not going anywhere.

01:22:38I would rather die right here

01:22:40than leave without my shares.

01:22:41Fine.

01:22:42If you're not leaving, neither am I.

01:22:44I'll sit right here

01:22:45for as long as you want to keep this up.

01:22:47Julian took our Vivian the city.

01:22:49I heard that when Vivian left

01:22:50he cursed Julian, Margaret and me.

01:22:52Years later I heard from Derek

01:22:53that Julian had Vivian

01:22:54torturing each other painfully all along.

01:22:56By their 40s

01:22:56they looked like they were in their 60s.

01:22:58However, all this

01:22:59nothing to do with me anymore.

01:23:00Grandpa was getting older.

01:23:02Every day I made time to be with him

01:23:03so he could enjoy the comfort

01:23:05of having his family close.

01:23:06He encouraged me to find someone suitable

01:23:08while I was still young.

01:23:10I declined

01:23:10and he never brought it up again.

01:23:12Now let's welcome our chairman

01:23:13Sophie Whitmerk to give a speech.

01:23:15Mrs. Whitmerk

01:23:16you currently have three listed companies

01:23:17under your uh

01:23:18and rank fifth on the Forbes list

01:23:19of female business leaders.

01:23:20May I ask

01:23:21what is the secret to your success?

01:23:22Choose the right path.

01:23:24Stay away from the wrong people.

01:23:25Never look back at the past.

01:23:27Ms. Whitfade

01:23:27looking back on your many years

01:23:29of business career

01:23:30who do you most appreciate?

01:23:33A driver.

01:23:34A driver?

01:23:34On the day he retired

01:23:36he told me a secret.

01:23:37That secret changed my life.

01:23:39It pulled me out of the mud

01:23:41helped me wash myself clean

01:23:43and made it possible

01:23:44for me to stand here today.

01:23:46Ms. Whitmore

01:23:46what are your next plans?

01:23:48Over the next five years

01:23:50Whitmore Materials Group

01:23:52will reach a market value

01:23:53of 15 billions.

01:23:56Some people enter your life

01:23:58so you can grow.

01:23:59Some pain becomes

01:24:00your strongest armor

01:24:01once you've made it through.

01:24:02Wherever your road takes you next

01:24:04may you become

01:24:05the brightest version of yourself.
