Transcription
00:00:00J'ai payé Georges un salaire générique pour 10 ans pour être mon mariageur.
00:00:04Mais dès qu'il retire, il m'a fait un secret qui a changé tout.
00:00:08Georges, ce sont des vins premiums et des supplements de santé.
00:00:11Je veux que vous les prenne.
00:00:12Et il y a une autre chose.
00:00:17Georges, vous vous avez donné des années de service à Julien.
00:00:20Et vous n'avez jamais fait une seule chose de faire mal.
00:00:22Vous avez gagné ça.
00:00:24C'est ma façon de remercier vous.
00:00:25Donc, faites-vous.
00:00:26Après tout ce que vous avez fait pour nous, je suis la personne qui vous a dit.
00:00:29Je vous remercie.
00:00:30Si vous avez des problèmes de famille,
00:00:32si vous avez des problèmes,
00:00:32n'importe quoi que ce soit,
00:00:33appelez-moi une fois.
00:00:39Mrs. Prescott.
00:00:41Il y a un compartiment dans le trunk de Mr. Prescott.
00:00:44Please, Mrs. Prescott.
00:00:46Vous devez voir ce qu'il y a dedans.
00:00:47Un compartiment dans le trunk?
00:00:56Julien, ce n'est-ce pas ?
00:00:57Pourquoi est-ce que ça a été raised ?
00:01:03C'est pas.
00:01:04La spare tire doit être poussée.
00:01:07C'est pas.
00:01:08La spare tire doit être poussée.
00:01:08C'est pas.
00:01:08C'est pas.
00:01:12On ne doit pas.
00:01:13On ne doit pas.
00:01:14On ne doit pas.
00:01:15C'est pas.
00:01:33C'est pas.
00:01:39C'est pas.
00:01:40C'est pas.
00:01:41C'est pas.
00:01:42C'est pas.
00:01:50C'est pas.
00:01:55C'est pas.
00:01:57C'est pas.

00:02:17C'est pas.
00:02:22C'est pas.
00:02:24C'est pas.
00:02:44C'est pas.
00:02:48C'est pas.
00:02:49C'est pas.
00:02:49C'est parti, c'est parti, c'est parti.
00:02:51Pour une approche de quelqu'un pour moi ?
00:02:53Vivienne, je veux tout ce que tu peux trouver
00:02:56sur la question de Julien et la dernière trois ans.
00:03:04C'est la vie.
00:03:06Pourquoi n'est-ce pas encore à la maison ?
00:03:10Je suis resté pour toi.
00:03:23C'est parti.
00:03:23Next time I'm running late,
00:03:24just go to sleep.
00:03:25You don't have to wait up for me.
00:03:29That perfume?
00:03:30I kept telling myself it came from some female client.
00:03:34Turns out the big client Julien has to see every week has a name.
00:03:37Vivienne.
00:03:38Mr. Prescott,
00:03:39I heard that Prescott's Real Estate
00:03:41has acquired another prime location
00:03:43and it's five news about to Yarkincourt 8 Menon.
00:03:46This is just Prescott's basic operation.
00:03:48I believe that under my leadership,
00:03:50Prescott Properties will soon become the top landmark in the country.
00:03:53One billion dollars?
00:03:55Ten years ago, Julien had nothing.
00:03:57I gave him the entire $400,000 wedding gift for my parents to fund his startup.
00:04:01Every last then, he swore back that.
00:04:03Sophie, I know this is all your savings.
00:04:05I promise you,
00:04:06I will treat you well for the rest of your life
00:04:07and will never let you down.
00:04:08In the early days of business,
00:04:10I stayed up late to help him see the company's articles.
00:04:13I used my connections to help secure the first major client
00:04:16and check every detail until 3 a.m.
00:04:20Until the company came public,
00:04:22and now he said...
00:04:24Sophie, we're married.
00:04:26What's mine is yours.
00:04:27Why does it matter if your name is officially listed as a shareholder?
00:04:32Julian, I spent ten years trusting you with everything I had.
00:04:35I gave you my money, my time, my loyalty,
00:04:38and this is how you repay me?
00:04:42My mom's birthday gala is next week.
00:04:44Take care of everything for me.
00:04:47Sure.
00:04:49Don't embarrass me with another cheap-looking gala like last time.
00:04:52Book a better hotel and make sure the guest list is appropriate.
00:04:55I'll handle it.
00:04:57Good.
00:04:58I'm going to the office.
00:05:03By the way, I'll be on a business trip for the next three days,
00:05:07so there's no need to wait up late in the night for me.
00:05:09Absolutely.
00:05:10Have a wonderful trip.
00:05:22Rachel.
00:05:23Sophie, the results are in.
00:05:28Vivian, 26 years old,
00:05:30a former employee of the administrative department of Prescott's Real Estate,
00:05:33left the company three years ago.
00:05:34She currently resides in a villa at Beverly Hills,
00:05:37without fixed at worstow.
00:05:39Under her name, there is a Porsche and a villa,
00:05:42both purchased within the past six months.
00:05:45The source of funds is Julian's personal account.
00:05:48She's seven months pregnant.
00:05:49Seven months?
00:05:52For a decade, Julian and I tried for a child without success.
00:05:55The doctor diagnosed him with low sperm notility and suggested IVF,
00:05:58but Julian brushed it off, insisting we let nature take its course.
00:06:02As it turned out, nature took its course perfectly fine
00:06:05the moment he climbed into bed with his mistress.
00:06:07Sophie, take a breath.
00:06:08Don't make any decisions while you're upset.
00:06:10I'm perfectly calm.
00:06:11I want a divorce.
00:06:12You're going to confront Julian now?
00:06:14No.
00:06:15I'm not letting him know I'm onto him.
00:06:17There's something I need you to do first.
00:06:19Tell me.
00:06:21Tear apart the entire ownership structure of Prescott Properties.
00:06:24I want every nominee to agreement, every offshore company, and every hidden account.
00:06:31I need to know exactly how much of our money Julian has moved behind my back.
00:06:35You're prepared to take this all the way?
00:06:38Of course.
00:06:40I've spent ten years being his unpaid maid.
00:06:42Now it's time to collect my wages.
00:06:45While I was waiting for Rachel to finish the investigation, I ran into Julia during his so-called business trip.
00:06:52There he was.
00:06:55Flirting with Vivian like the perfect devoted boyfriend.
00:07:00Look at how your husband's been betraying you.
00:07:03The piece of Trab truly thought of everything.
00:07:05Prescott's real estate.
00:07:06He holds 61% of the shares on the surface, but actually controls 78% through two high-profile companies
00:07:11in the Cayman Islands.
00:07:12The legal representative is his cousin, Derek.
00:07:15For three years, Julian has been laundering company money through sham projects and stashing it in secret accounts.
00:07:20Fifteen million dollars.
00:07:21Six hidden accounts.
00:07:22Four under his own name, and two under Vivian's.
00:07:25What about the properties?
00:07:26On top of the villa you're living in, he owns three other properties under his name, all of which he
00:07:30mortgaged last year, and the money has completely vanished.
00:07:32Then there's Vivian.
00:07:33Besides her villa at Beverly Hills, she holds the deeds to two commercial shops.
00:07:36Both were Prescott's real estate project, bought at an insider discount.
00:07:39Their market value is over four million dollars, but he only shelled out 1.1 million.
00:07:46So while I spent 10 years being his wife, Julian secretly moved at least 30 million dollars out of reach.
00:07:54And what did he leave me?
00:07:56The right to live in this villa.
00:07:57Not ownership.
00:07:58Not even my name in the title.
00:08:00What a masterpiece.
00:08:03You haven't even seen the worst part yet.
00:08:05Last month, Julian secretly hired a lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement so he could get rid of you.
00:08:11The terms were insulting.
00:08:13The wife would leave the marriage with absolutely nothing.
00:08:16In exchange, the husband would generously grant her a single lump sum settlement of $250,000.
00:08:22Generously, I gave him $400,000 when he had nothing.
00:08:25Ten years later, after inflation, he's offering me even less than the money I put in.
00:08:29Sophie, he's planned the whole thing.
00:08:31All he needs is the right moment to cut you out of his life and put Vivian in your place.
00:08:35When exactly is Vivian's baby due?
00:08:37Next month on the 15th.
00:08:39Sophie, what are you thinking?
00:08:43Didn't he ask me to organize a birthday gala for his mother?
00:08:46Then I'll give her a gala no one will ever forget.
00:08:55Did I forget a special occasion?
00:08:57Nothing special.
00:08:58I've just been missing you lately.
00:09:00Sit down and eat.
00:09:09I need to take this.
00:09:16What's up, babe?
00:09:23Who called?
00:09:25Just a client.
00:09:26I see.
00:09:30I've booked your mother's birthday gala in a private ballroom at the peninsula.
00:09:34Is that grand enough for you?
00:09:36That'll do.
00:09:37Put together the dinner guest list, run it by me before you finalize it.
00:09:40Of course.
00:09:41I just got back from my business trip, but the office needs me again.
00:09:44I have to work late, so I won't be staying with you tonight.
00:09:46Go ahead.
00:09:50Savor every last minute with your little mistress while you can.
00:09:54Once the curtains fall on that birthday gala, your perfect little life collapses.
00:10:02I was 25 when I married Julian 10 years ago.
00:10:06Everyone told me I was throwing my life away.
00:10:09Turns out they were right.
00:10:11Sophie, have you lost your mind?
00:10:13So then your Whitmore family not on Frito's size, the good still turns out as any of you moving.
00:10:18How could you marry?
00:10:19Julia did this.
00:10:20Poor boy.
00:10:21Sophie!
00:10:22You were supposed to inherit everything this family built.
00:10:24Instead, you're turning your back on all of it for a penniless nobody.
00:10:26I refuse to stand by and watch you destroy your future.
00:10:29If you marry him, then you are no longer my granddaughter.
00:10:32I even refused Grandpa's request to inherit family property, willing with himself ties,
00:10:37and followed Julian hold hearts in harm.
00:10:40All because of his foolish promise.
00:10:42Sophie, I love you.
00:10:44I'll give you the whole world.
00:10:46He really did get the whole world.
00:10:49I'm just not part of it anymore.
00:10:59Sophie, the board of directors of Whitmore's Building Materials has reserved a seat for you.
00:11:04You can come back anytime. Grandpa is waiting.
00:11:13Grandpa, that's me, Sophie.
00:11:18Grandpa, I want to come back.
00:11:20I'm ready to work again.
00:11:22Of course.
00:11:23You're my granddaughter.
00:11:24You never needed permission to come home.
00:11:31I got my hands on the proxy ownership agreement.
00:11:34Guess what I found?
00:11:34Of the 78% of the stock in Prescott's, 15% has already been prepared for transfer, with the transferant
00:11:40being Vivian.
00:11:40When is the transfer scheduled?
00:11:42The agreement takes effect on the 20th of next month, five days after Vivian's baby is due.
00:11:46So that's his plan.
00:11:47He wants his child safely born before he gets rid of me.
00:11:49Exactly.
00:11:50The second his son is born, Vivian gets the shares.
00:11:52You get a divorce agreement and a pathetic $250,000 payoff.
00:11:55Then Julian expects you to disappear quietly.
00:11:57He really thought of everything.
00:12:06My birthday gala is three days away.
00:12:09Tell me you've handled everything properly.
00:12:11Everything has been arranged.
00:12:13Make sure my closest friends are seated right next to me at the gala.
00:12:16Sure, Mom.
00:12:18And Julian told me he's bringing a very important guest.
00:12:20I want her seated right next to me.
00:12:22Who is he bringing?
00:12:24That's none of your concern.
00:12:25Just handle it.
00:12:26Very important guest.
00:12:28You're really going to expose him in front of everyone at the gala?
00:12:31Definitely.
00:12:32Good.
00:12:32I'll come armed with the full case file.
00:12:34Make sure you bring the divorce agreement, too.
00:12:37Sophie, you know I've always believed you wasted far too much of yourself on Julian.
00:12:41Not anymore.
00:12:42It ends today.
00:12:50How may I help you?
00:12:52Who are you here to see?
00:12:52Mr. Whitmore.
00:12:53Tell him his granddaughter is here.
00:12:56Nathan, there's a woman downstairs.
00:12:58She says she's Mr. Whitmore's granddaughter.
00:13:00Mr. Whitmore, take it easy.
00:13:04Sophie.
00:13:05Grandpa.
00:13:08You left me alone with this company for ten years, and now you finally decide to come back.
00:13:14Come on.
00:13:16Your office has been waiting for you.
00:13:18Let Grandpa show you.
00:13:23You've gotten so thin.
00:13:27Grandpa, I'm sorry, sir.
00:13:28I turned my back on you for a love that was never worth it.
00:13:30It's alright, my dear.
00:13:31We all make mistakes.
00:13:32If you're happy, I'll celebrate with you.
00:13:35And if the world ever hurts you, come home.
00:13:39I'll always have your back.
00:13:43No more tears.
00:13:45You know Grandpa can't stand seeing you cry.
00:13:47Come on.
00:13:48Let me show you the office I had set up for you.
00:13:52Grandpa, let me start as a VP.
00:13:54I want to work my way back up.
00:13:56You'll take your rightful seat on the board.
00:13:58You can carry that responsibility.
00:14:01Grandpa believes in you.
00:14:04Mr. Whitfield, I have the materials you asked for.
00:14:07With the 32% your parents left you and my 41% combined,
00:14:12Wiltmore Materials Group is officially yours.
00:14:16Step up and take control as soon as possible, Sophie.
00:14:19I've waited a long time for this retirement.
00:14:21I will, Grandpa. I promise.
00:14:25Grandpa, there's one thing I need you to do for me.
00:14:28Name it. Whatever you need, I will make it happen.
00:14:32Keep my return quiet for now.
00:14:35Is there a reason?
00:14:36Because before I come back for good,
00:14:38there's one last war I intend to win.
00:14:41That worthless bastard Julian did something to you, didn't he?
00:14:45You might have walked away from Wiltmore Materials Group,
00:14:48but this family still shielded his business
00:14:51and quietly pulled strings for him.
00:14:53Without our backing, he would be absolutely nothing.
00:14:59Grandpa, don't waste your anger on someone like him.
00:15:02I chose the wrong man.
00:15:04This is my mess and I'm gonna clean it up myself.
00:15:06Go win it then.
00:15:08You were born to conquer, not to lose.
00:15:18Where did you get an outfit like that?
00:15:21I bought it.
00:15:22How much did that cost?
00:15:24Not much.
00:15:25At just $90,000, a birthday gala this magnificent
00:15:29naturally demands the most high-end attire will to match.
00:15:33Come on. It's my mom's birthday gala today.
00:15:36Let's not be late.
00:15:42Of course, I'm on my way to get you now.
00:15:46I'll drop you off at the hotel,
00:15:48get the gala set up while I go pick up a guest.
00:15:52Is that the special guest your mother told me about?
00:15:56What's her name?
00:16:01Vivian.
00:16:02Vivian.
00:16:02Don't overthink it.
00:16:04Her brother is one of my business partners.
00:16:05She's helped my mom connect with a few people,
00:16:07so my mom's taken a liking to her.
00:16:09He lies like it's the easiest thing in the world.
00:16:13I'll make sure your very important guest gets the welcome she deserves.
00:16:28I have a suite on the 18th floor.
00:16:31Every piece of evidence we have is already inside.
00:16:33Perfect.
00:16:34One more thing.
00:16:35I found out that Julian's equity stare transfer agreement must be signed by 3 p.m. this afternoon.
00:16:40That is to say, he plans to take Vivian Dridges to the law firm after the gala dinner.
00:16:47Why is he in such a hurry?
00:16:49Vivian's due date has been moved up.
00:16:51The doctor says she could give birth any day this week.
00:16:53Julian wants those shares safely in her name before the baby.
00:16:59He won't get that chance.
00:17:01Not in this lifetime.
00:17:08Margaret, this gala is spectacular.
00:17:11You've really outdone yourself.
00:17:12Margaret, not everyone can host a birthday gala at the peninsula.
00:17:15This is seriously impressive.
00:17:17My son personally arranged every detail.
00:17:19I heard he spent well over $50,000 just to make my birthday special.
00:17:24Well, you finally made an effort with your appearance.
00:17:27Today is your special day.
00:17:29Dressing appropriately is only expected.
00:17:31She came into this family with no parents to support her.
00:17:34And after all these years, she still can't even give my son a child.
00:17:39I have no idea why Julian insisted on marrying her.
00:17:42Honestly, she's an embarrassment to this entire family.
00:17:48Sophie, you look stunning.
00:17:51Who designed your dress?
00:17:53Valentino.
00:17:54Valentino.
00:17:55That dress must have cost a fortune.
00:17:57It's Julian's money she's wasting.
00:17:59She doesn't make a dime of her own.
00:18:01She only knows how to spend his.
00:18:05Sophie really went all out with that outfit.
00:18:07If I didn't know any better, I'd think she was the one celebrating her birthday today.
00:18:11How kind of you to say that.
00:18:13No need to thank me.
00:18:14I just said out loud what everyone else was thinking.
00:18:21He holds 61% of the shares on the surface, but actually controls 78% through two high-profile companies
00:18:28in the Cayman Islands.
00:18:29The legal representative is his cousin Derek.
00:18:32Go ahead.
00:18:33Laugh while you still can.
00:18:34Once everyone is here, I'm collecting every debt you owe me.
00:18:40Where is Julian?
00:18:42You're his wife.
00:18:43How do you not know why he still hasn't shown up?
00:18:45He went to pick up a friend.
00:18:46I'm sure they'll be here very soon.
00:18:48You could possibly need Julian to go pick them up himself.
00:18:52Vivian.
00:18:54Oh, Vivian.
00:18:56Then, of course, Julian had to pick her up himself.
00:18:58It's fine.
00:18:59We can wait as long as she needs.
00:19:01Honey, the real show is about to start.
00:19:05Keep your voice down.
00:19:18Slow down, Vivian.
00:19:20You're in no condition to be hurrying.
00:19:23Happy birthday, Margaret.
00:19:24I chose this just for you.
00:19:26I hope it's good enough.
00:19:27How could I not like it?
00:19:29That baby you're carrying is the best birthday gift I could ever receive.
00:19:36Mom, what are you talking about?
00:19:37What?
00:19:38I've been waiting for a grandson for years.
00:19:41Sophie can't give this family a child.
00:19:43And now I'm supposed to hide my joy because another woman can?
00:19:46Come, Vivian.
00:19:47You stay right beside me today.
00:19:50Who is she?
00:19:51Just look at her belly.
00:19:53And Margaret's practically banging over her.
00:19:56What else could it be?
00:19:57No way.
00:19:59Now this is a scandal worth watching.
00:20:07Not yet.
00:20:08Let them dig their own grave a little deep.
00:20:13Thank you everyone for coming to my mom's birthday gala today.
00:20:17It means a lot to have our family and friends here with us.
00:20:21If I'm standing here today, it's because of my mom.
00:20:24She sacrificed so much to raise me and taught me everything I know about how to be a decent man.
00:20:30And of course, I also need to thank my family and friends.
00:20:36You stood by me and supported me every step of the way.
00:20:38I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
00:20:48Vivian, come stand beside me. We'll cut the cake together.
00:20:52At this rate, the Prescotts are about to install the mistress as the new Mrs. Prescott right in front of
00:20:58everyone.
00:20:58They're humiliating Sophie right in front of everyone.
00:21:01And she's still sitting there quietly? How pathetic.
00:21:05For the Prescott family, an heir is everything.
00:21:08And the woman who delivers one holds all the cards.
00:21:11Sophie can't give them that.
00:21:12But Vivian, she's carrying the ultimate leverage.
00:21:16Ouch.
00:21:17They're humiliating her in front of the entire room.
00:21:20If that were me, this table would already be on the floor.
00:21:23Nicole, enough.
00:21:24You really thought of everything.
00:21:26First, you parade Vivian around at the gala and let everyone know she's replacing me.
00:21:30Then, once your precious son is born, you transfer the shares into her hands
00:21:34and toss me a divorced agreement like I'm disposable.
00:21:38Sophie, don't let it get to you.
00:21:40I'm sure Julian has a logical explanation for this.
00:21:43Derek?
00:21:43Yes, Sophie?
00:21:44I know you're illegally holding 17% of Julian's shares through two offshore companies.
00:21:50If the IRS catches wind of it, you will.
00:21:54Sophie, I don't know anything about that, I swear.
00:21:57I have the registration numbers for both K Haven Onations and Julie International.
00:22:01Do you still want me to continue?
00:22:04Sophie, I...
00:22:07Stay right here and watch.
00:22:09Once the show is over, I'm coming back for you.
00:22:15What the hell are you doing here?
00:22:17Go sit down and stop ruining the moment for everyone.
00:22:27Go back to your seat.
00:22:28It's my mother's birthday gala, so don't cause a scene.
00:22:31I'll explain when we get home.
00:22:32Home?
00:22:33Be specific, Julian.
00:22:34Do you mean our home or the one where you've been playing home with Vivian?
00:22:38Yes, you.
00:22:40Congratulations.
00:22:41After three years of sneaking around, of sneaking interval with my husband,
00:22:44you can finally stop hiding and stand proudly beside me.
00:22:48Julian, who is she?
00:22:49You're pretending you don't know me?
00:22:51Fine, let's make this official.
00:22:53I'm Sophie, Julian's wife, but that title is about to become ex-wife.
00:22:58Sophie, I hope we can think of each other as family.
00:23:02Don't ever call me your sister.
00:23:04Hearing that word come out of your mouth makes me sick.
00:23:07Sophie, enough. Vivian is here as a guest.
00:23:10Don't embarrass her.
00:23:12A guest?
00:23:13Julian, do you seriously still think I'm stupid enough to believe that?
00:23:17Vivian, former staff of Prescott Development Group,
00:23:20lives in Beverly Hills area, drives a white Porsche-ish Cayenne.
00:23:24Julian, should I go on?
00:23:26Or is that enough for you?
00:23:28You've been looking into people around me?
00:23:32Secrets only stay buried when there's nothing to uncover.
00:23:35What happened, Julian?
00:23:36Are you scared of what I found?
00:23:38You!
00:23:39Sophie, stop acting like a lunatic!
00:23:42This is my birthday gala, and I will not let you ruin it!
00:23:45Get out!
00:23:47Margaret, I'm perfectly sane.
00:23:49In fact, after ten years, I've never been more clear-headed.
00:23:52It's time we settled a few accounts.
00:23:54She finally stopped taking it quietly.
00:23:57Margaret never misses a chance to flaunt her perfect family.
00:24:00Let's see how she talks her way out of this one.
00:24:03Let's be honest.
00:24:04She walked into this gala pregnant with a married man's child, Vennel,
00:24:08like she owns the place.
00:24:10She's shameless.
00:24:11All of you, shut up!
00:24:14Vivian, don't be afraid.
00:24:16I'm right here.
00:24:18No one is going to touch you.
00:24:19You are the daughter-in-law this family deserves.
00:24:22You're carrying the Prescott heir, which makes you the one who has actually contributed something to this family.
00:24:29Sophie, you couldn't give my son a son after ten years, so he found a woman who could.
00:24:33What exactly is wrong with that?
00:24:34Unless you can give this family a son yourself, you have nothing to say.
00:24:39Mom, stop. This isn't the time to show her a hand. We still have things to put in place.
00:24:44Sophie, Vivian and I are only friends.
00:24:46My mom lost her temper and said things she didn't mean.
00:24:49There's nothing going on between us.
00:24:51Just go home, and I'll talk you through everything later.
00:24:53That's right. Stop slandering my son. Julian would never do something like that.
00:24:58Slandering him?
00:25:06This prenatal record is from Vivian's appointment three months ago.
00:25:10Look at the section the baby's father. Julian's name is right there.
00:25:14Are you still going to call this slander?
00:25:19Her boyfriend wasn't there when she had her prenatal checkup.
00:25:22Someone needed to sign the form, so I did it for him.
00:25:25Is that really enough for you to cause a scene in front of everyone?
00:25:27You were just signing for him?
00:25:31Here's a picture of you and Vivian.
00:25:32On the back, in your handwriting, it says,
00:25:36Baby, I'm waiting for you and our little one, Julian.
00:25:40Should I assume you took the photo for her boyfriend and wrote the love note for him too?
00:25:44This is unbelievable.
00:25:45The Prescotts treated Sophie horribly.
00:25:48He's still trying to talk his way out of it.
00:25:51He must think everyone here is an idiot.
00:25:54A 4,090 square foot villa at Beverly Hills registered in Vivian's name,
00:25:59and these commercial units.
00:26:02All of them.
00:26:03For three years, Julian transferred $30,000 to Vivian every month.
00:26:08Always on the 15th. 36 transfers.
00:26:10He never missed a single one.
00:26:13Seriously? He spent that much money on his mistress?
00:26:17Come on.
00:26:18Do you really think a young woman would have his baby for free?
00:26:22Sophie, you can't force someone to love you.
00:26:25Julian said your marriage has been over for years.
00:26:27And now I'm pregnant with his child.
00:26:29Nothing can change that.
00:26:31If you keep making a scene, no one is going to come out of this looking good.
00:26:36Shut up.
00:26:38Do you honestly think she's still willing this quietly after everything that just happened?
00:26:41I said shut up.
00:26:45Sophie, you don't understand the full picture.
00:26:47Let's not do this here.
00:26:48Come home with me and I'll explain everything.
00:26:51An explanation?
00:26:53After you transfer every share you can hide, hand me the divorce papers, and throw me $250,000 to disappear?
00:27:01Is that when you plan to explain everything?
00:27:03You never stopped humiliating me for not giving this family a child.
00:27:07So congratulations, Margaret.
00:27:09Vivian is seven months pregnant.
00:27:12In two months, you'll finally be holding the grandson you wanted so badly.
00:27:16So what if he did?
00:27:18You've been in our family for 10 years and still can't have a child.
00:27:22You're just a hen that can't lay eggs.
00:27:24My son is capable.
00:27:26What's wrong with finding someone who can have kids?
00:27:29I'm not the one who couldn't have a child, Margaret.
00:27:31Your precious son, Julian, is.
00:27:36Sophie, that's enough.
00:27:37Shut your mouth.
00:27:38Now that I realize how urgent this situation is, your mother has been persistently claiming throughout these years that I'm
00:27:44unable to have children.
00:27:46How come you don't just make her stop talking?
00:27:49Take a good look.
00:27:50Eight years ago, doctor told us Julian had low sperm matility and needed to work on his health.
00:27:57Julian told me to be patient.
00:27:59He said we should let things happen naturally.
00:28:01Fine.
00:28:02I waited eight years.
00:28:04Then the moment things finally worked out, he went and had a child with someone else.
00:28:10Honestly, I'm glad I never gave him a child.
00:28:13A man like Julian doesn't deserve to be the father of mine.
00:28:16Enough, Sophie!
00:28:17No.
00:28:18I'm done.
00:28:19I wasted 10 years loving you and that love is gone.
00:28:22Why on earth should I do you any favors now?
00:28:24Sophie, no matter what Julian did, the two of you shared a marriage.
00:28:28You could have handled this privately.
00:28:30Did you really need to humiliate him in front of an entire room?
00:28:37Shut your mouth.
00:28:38We're already in deep trouble. We can't afford to get involved.
00:28:40Sophie came here to destroy every last one of us. She knows everything we did.
00:28:46Is that what you want Sophie?
00:28:48To humiliate me in front of everyone and destroy everything I built?
00:28:52I'm not the one ruining you Julian.
00:28:54You did that all on your own.
00:28:56I'm just making sure everyone can see what you've done.
00:28:58Sophie, you vicious troublemaker.
00:29:02I always knew you were an ill-mannered nobody with no upbringing.
00:29:07Stop acting so righteous.
00:29:09Your well-mannered son spent three years hiding a mistress,
00:29:13embezzling 30 million in assets and trying to leave me with pocket change.
00:29:18Don't play innocent.
00:29:19You knew exactly what he was doing.
00:29:21Because you think a successful man owes itself to trade his wife in for a younger model.
00:29:25Is that your idea of a good upbringing?
00:29:28How dare you speak to me that way? I am your mother-in-law. Does that mean nothing to you?
00:29:34Not anymore.
00:29:35Sophie, what is it going to take for you to stop?
00:29:37My lawyer prepared this divorce agreement.
00:29:41I'm asking for exactly what the law allows.
00:29:44A lawful division of all marital assets.
00:29:47The recovery of every cent of the 30 million dollars moved during our marriage.
00:29:52And a reassessment of the shares in Prescott Development Group based on each person's actual contribution.
00:29:59I don't agree. Those assets belong to me and my son. No one is touching them.
00:30:04You're delusional, Sophie.
00:30:06I built Prescott Development Group from the ground up with my own two hands.
00:30:10You didn't contribute a single thing to my success!
00:30:14You built it yourself? Then let's refresh your memory, Julian.
00:30:17Who gave you the $400,000 you needed to launch the company?
00:30:24Who drafted the bylaws?
00:30:26Who stayed up reviewing every project proposal?
00:30:28Who pulled the strings to land your very first major client?
00:30:32Julian, without me you never would have earned your first dollar.
00:30:36Everything you built started with what I gave you.
00:30:40Wait, Julian. Your wife funded your company when you were starting out?
00:30:44So the great Julian Prescott built his empire by using his wife's money. How impressive!
00:30:50Classic. She helped him build everything and the second he made it, he traded her in for someone younger.
00:30:55What a bastard.
00:30:56If you refuse, we can settle this in court.
00:31:00Sophie, I can make the decision for Julian.
00:31:02I'll have him give you enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
00:31:05Take the money and walk away before you lose even that.
00:31:08And if I don't...
00:31:10Vivian, what is it? Are you okay?
00:31:16I'm going into labor. Get me to the hospital now. The baby, you can't let anything happen to the baby!
00:31:24What the hell are you waiting for? Call an ambulance! If anything happens to my son, Sophie, I swear I'll
00:31:28make you pay!
00:31:29Fine. But it looks like today's reckoning will have to end here.
00:31:34Don't worry, Julian. I'll collect the rest of what you owe me another day.
00:31:39Everyone, my apologies for interrupting such a lovely celebration. Please don't let me spoil the fun.
00:31:44Margaret, since it's your birthday, I wish you a long and healthy life surrounded by children and grandchildren.
00:31:51And may every single one of them repay you with the same loyalty your son has shown me.
00:31:57Rachel, let's go.
00:31:59From this moment forward, I, Sophie, will live for myself and no one else.
00:32:05You completely slaughtered them. Cold, merciless and lethal.
00:32:10The old Sophie is back. No, wait. This version is way better.
00:32:13I'm not any better or stronger than I was. I just spent a decade living a lie and the illusion
00:32:18has finally shattered.
00:32:21That's true. By the way, I'm submitting the divorce filing tomorrow morning.
00:32:26Once Julian receives it, he'll send someone to push for a settlement.
00:32:30A settlement? That depends on what he's prepared to put on the table.
00:32:34Come on. My treat. Tonight we celebrate your new life.
00:32:39Sophie, please wait!
00:32:41Tell it to the judge when the time comes. Now move.
00:32:44No, no. Sophie, please.
00:32:46I know. Thanks you listed in-
00:32:48About those two Cayman Islands companies you mentioned, Derek is only listed in the paperwork.
00:32:53He doesn't know anything about them.
00:32:56Sophie, I swear I knew nothing about the details. Julian told me to act as the nominee director.
00:33:01I only did what he asked.
00:33:03Save that explanation for the IRS. They can decide whether you knew what you were doing.
00:33:08Sophie, I'm begging you. Please don't involve Derek.
00:33:11Nicole, that's a first. After all these years, you finally managed to ask me for something without sneering.
00:33:17I was wrong, Sophie. I admit it. Please show Derek some mercy.
00:33:22Sophie, I never should have helped Julian deceive you. I know I was wrong. Please just give me one chance
00:33:27to make it right.
00:33:27I'm not part of your family anymore.
00:33:30Sophie.
00:33:32Enough. I won't report you myself.
00:33:36Thanks, Sophie. Thanks, Sophie.
00:33:39On one condition.
00:33:42On one condition.
00:33:47Of course, Sophie. Tell me what you need.
00:33:49First, never try to manipulate me with that we're family bullshit again. It's disgusting.
00:33:56Second, you have the files and login directives for every offshore company Julian controls.
00:34:01I want copies of every document and every password.
00:34:05That's...
00:34:07What the hell are you thinking? Sophie is giving you a lifeline. Are you really stupid enough to sync with
00:34:12Julian?
00:34:14Okay, Sophie. I'll send every password right now. You'll have copies of every document shortly after that.
00:34:25Honey, are we really gonna sell Julian out?
00:34:27You know exactly how Julian got his power. He used his wife to build Prescott Development Group and dumped her
00:34:32the second he was done with her.
00:34:33She was nothing to him or even less.
00:34:40We've already agreed. You have to come back to Whitmore's to help me.
00:34:43You're my golden ticket, Sophie. Of course I'm holding on for dear life.
00:34:47General counsel, the job is yours whenever you want it.
00:34:56Easy there. Deputy general counsel is more than enough for me.
00:35:01Sophie, the gala footage is everywhere. Julian is finished.
00:35:05Tell me the truth. Did you plant someone to make sure it went viral?
00:35:09I didn't need to do a thing. The room was full of vultures dying from a scandal.
00:35:13Particularly Margaret's old friends. They happily did all my dirty work for me.
00:35:19Sophie, don't buy Vivian's act. She played the meek lamb, but she was too calm under pressure.
00:35:24She's no victim. She's trouble.
00:35:26Good. I was hoping she'd put up a fight. Otherwise, where's the fun?
00:35:31Come on. Drink with me.
00:35:41My baby. Where is he?
00:35:44He's fine. Mom is watching over him right now.
00:35:48You promised Sophie wouldn't discover a thing. Now she knows about the entire plan.
00:35:52How are you gonna fix this?
00:35:54That vindictive bitch or the gala scandal went public. She's trying to destroy me out of spite.
00:36:01I couldn't care less about Sophie. Your money, your company, everything you own must go to my son.
00:36:07Don't worry. I still have everything under control.
00:36:12Mr. Prescott. Why did you come all the way here?
00:36:19Get some rest. I'll be right outside.
00:36:26Your wife has officially filed for divorce. The petition is already with the court.
00:36:31She actually had the nerve to file. Does Sophie seriously think I'm gonna back down?
00:36:36The evidence is damaging. She can prove the affair, the asset transfers and potential tax violations.
00:36:43The facts are difficult to dispute. And from what I've heard, she's still holding back additional evidence.
00:36:50Then what the hell am I supposed to do?
00:36:55My advice is to settle. The more public this becomes, the worse it will be for you.
00:36:59it will be for you.
00:37:08And, cause it's happening.
00:37:09Slowly, Sophie
00:37:09Martha, bring her the honey lemonade.
00:37:13Elle a besoin de sober un peu.
00:37:17Did Rachel bring me home?
00:37:19My head hurts so much.
00:37:24I drank way too much last night
00:37:26and everything after that is a total blank.
00:37:29After everything you've been through
00:37:30you deserved one night to let it all out.
00:37:32Bottling it up would have been worse.
00:37:34Drink up Miss Sophie.
00:37:35Mr. Whitweald asked me to have it ready for you.
00:37:37It's just the right temperature.
00:37:39Thanks Martha.
00:37:40Miss Sophie, no more heavy drinking for you.
00:37:43Last night you wrapped yourself around Mr. Whitweald,
00:37:46cried like a baby and wouldn't let go.
00:37:48You practically sobbed yourself unconscious.
00:37:56Martha, please tell me you're joking.
00:37:59I wish I were, Sophie.
00:38:01Not once.
00:38:02In all the years I've known you
00:38:03have I ever seen you cry that hard.
00:38:05You clung to Mr. Whitman,
00:38:07apologized over and over
00:38:09and promised you'd be the best granddaughter
00:38:11in the world from now on.
00:38:12Then you insisted he stay with you
00:38:14until you fell asleep.
00:38:15Martha, have mercy.
00:38:17Say another word
00:38:18and Sophie may never show her face
00:38:19in this house again.
00:38:20Okay, okay, I'll stop.
00:38:22I'm going to bring out breakfast.
00:38:24I made everything you loved
00:38:26when you were younger, Miss Sophia.
00:38:29That's so embarrassing.
00:38:31It's quite all right, dear.
00:38:33No need to be embarrassed.
00:38:35There's no need to ever feel embarrassed
00:38:37around your grandfather, sweetheart.
00:38:39Now go freshen up and come back downstairs.
00:38:41Let's have some breakfast together.
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:54You're far too thin, Sophie.
00:38:56You need to eat properly.
00:38:59Grandpa,
00:38:59I'm coming to new Whitmore
00:39:01materials group with you today.
00:39:02I'm ready to get started.
00:39:04There's no rush.
00:39:05Give yourself a few days to rest.
00:39:09I've had enough rest.
00:39:10Let me learn the ropes
00:39:12so you can finally stop
00:39:13exhausting yourself
00:39:14for the business.
00:39:15Then let's do it.
00:39:22What do you want?
00:39:24Sophie, we need to talk.
00:39:26All right.
00:39:27This morning,
00:39:28I need to go back
00:39:29and remove every last thing
00:39:30that belongs to me.
00:39:37Grandpa, I...
00:39:38It's okay, Sophie.
00:39:39Go close that chapter properly.
00:39:41I'll be waiting for you
00:39:42at the office this afternoon.
00:39:57I can't change the past,
00:39:59but I'm not going to waste
00:40:00another second bleeding over it.
00:40:07I can't change the past,
00:40:08I can't change the past,
00:40:09but I'm not going to waste
00:40:10so I can't change the past.
00:40:11Done with this, too.
00:40:24Sophie, what are you doing?
00:40:26Did your conscience rot so deeply
00:40:27that it blinded you?
00:40:28Fine.
00:40:29Open your eyes
00:40:30and watch this.
00:40:44How did I never see
00:40:45how ruthless you really are?
00:40:47If I showed any mercy,
00:40:49you and your family
00:40:49would leave me with nothing.
00:40:51Not even the scraps.
00:40:53You wanted to talk, Julian?
00:40:54I'm listening.
00:40:55Say what you came to say
00:40:56so we can get this over with.
00:40:57Fine.
00:40:58Tell me how much it'll take
00:40:59to make you go away.
00:41:00How much for what?
00:41:02Come on, Sophie.
00:41:04This entire spectacle
00:41:05is about money.
00:41:06How much do you want
00:41:06to withdraw the lawsuit?
00:41:071.5 million?
00:41:09Not even close.
00:41:11Fine.
00:41:123 million dollars.
00:41:13That's more than enough,
00:41:14isn't it?
00:41:14When is it going to be enough, Sophie?
00:41:16Keep pushing like this
00:41:17and you're going to choke.
00:41:19Don't worry about me, Julian.
00:41:20My appetite has never been better.
00:41:224 million dollars.
00:41:24Sophie,
00:41:25this is my final offer.
00:41:26Think it through for yourself.
00:41:28You're a housewife
00:41:29with no job
00:41:30and no income.
00:41:31Do you know
00:41:32expensive a lawsuit is?
00:41:33Can you afford
00:41:34the lawyer's fees?
00:41:35I can afford it.
00:41:38You've got a lot of confidence
00:41:40for someone relying
00:41:40on one small-time lawyer.
00:41:42Prescott Development Group
00:41:43has an entire team
00:41:44of senior attorneys
00:41:45on retainer.
00:41:46Do you seriously think
00:41:47your friend stands
00:41:47a chance against them?
00:41:50Do you honestly believe
00:41:51your little lawyer friend
00:41:52stands a chance
00:41:53against an entire team
00:41:54of seasoned attorneys?
00:41:55Your team?
00:41:57You might want to ask
00:41:58Graven about that.
00:41:59Your star attorney
00:42:00faced Rachel
00:42:01in three cases last year
00:42:02and she beat him
00:42:03every single time.
00:42:05Mr. Prescott,
00:42:07your wife has
00:42:08a very strong case.
00:42:10Especially with Rachel
00:42:11handling it.
00:42:12She is not someone
00:42:13we should take lightly.
00:42:14What the hell
00:42:15do you want from me?
00:42:16I'm taking every single thing
00:42:17the law says belongs to me.
00:42:19Not one cent less.
00:42:20What do you think
00:42:21the law can give you?
00:42:22On paper,
00:42:22you have nothing.
00:42:23No shares in Prescott
00:42:25Development Group,
00:42:25no name on the deed,
00:42:26nothing.
00:42:27I'm offering you
00:42:28a way out
00:42:29because I'm being generous.
00:42:30Don't be stupid enough
00:42:31to reject it.
00:42:32Keep your generosity, Julian.
00:42:34The courts will decide
00:42:35exactly what I get,
00:42:36not you.
00:42:37You.
00:42:38Is that all?
00:42:39I have places to be.
00:42:41Sophie,
00:42:42we were married
00:42:42for ten years.
00:42:44Doesn't what we had
00:42:44count for anything?
00:42:45What do you gain
00:42:46by turning this
00:42:46into a war?
00:42:47What we had?
00:42:49Julian,
00:42:50you started your company
00:42:51with my $400,000.
00:42:52You used my connections
00:42:53to land clients.
00:42:54You wore the suits
00:42:55I picked out
00:42:55when you went
00:42:55to pitch projects.
00:42:56Back when you were nobody,
00:42:57I was the one
00:42:58who stood beside you
00:42:58and helped you build
00:42:59everything from the ground up.
00:43:01And now you want to talk
00:43:01to me about what we had?
00:43:02Fine.
00:43:03Let's talk about what we had.
00:43:04Sitting in the Beverly Hills mansion
00:43:05you bought Vivian,
00:43:06it's in the $11,000
00:43:07you wire her every month.
00:43:08It's growing inside her
00:43:09right now,
00:43:10seven months along.
00:43:11And what did you leave me
00:43:12after ten years?
00:43:13A divorce agreement
00:43:13designed to strip me
00:43:14of everything
00:43:15and send me away
00:43:15with a pathetic $250,000 payoff.
00:43:19And what did you leave me
00:43:20after ten years?
00:43:22A divorce agreement
00:43:23designed to strip me
00:43:24of everything
00:43:25and send me away
00:43:26with a pathetic
00:43:27$250,000 payoff.
00:43:32Wait, you weren't supposed
00:43:34to know about that agreement.
00:43:36Of course you haven't
00:43:37shown it to me yet.
00:43:38You were waiting
00:43:38for Vivian to give birth,
00:43:40move the shares into place
00:43:41and then throw the divorce
00:43:43papers in my face.
00:43:45Too bad your devoted driver
00:43:46told me everything
00:43:47before you got the chance.
00:43:49George?
00:43:50That bastard sell me out?
00:43:54You should consider yourself lucky.
00:43:56He covered for you
00:43:56all these years.
00:43:57He didn't say a word
00:43:58until the day he retired.
00:44:00Still doesn't give him
00:44:01the right to sell me out!
00:44:02Sold you out?
00:44:03You paid him $2,000 a month.
00:44:05I gave him an extra $3,000
00:44:06every month
00:44:07because I wanted him
00:44:07to take good care
00:44:08of you on the road.
00:44:09I gave him holiday bonus.
00:44:11I helped pay
00:44:11for his daughter's education.
00:44:12When his wife
00:44:13was hospitalized,
00:44:14I covered the bills.
00:44:15And you?
00:44:16All you ever did
00:44:17was complain
00:44:17that I was wasting money.
00:44:22So this was your plan
00:44:23all along?
00:44:24You've been buying
00:44:25the loyalty of everyone
00:44:26around me behind my back!
00:44:27Fine.
00:44:28Let's call it
00:44:28buying loyalty.
00:44:29But even at that,
00:44:30Julian,
00:44:31you still can't compete
00:44:31with me.
00:44:32How dare you!
00:44:33All that rage
00:44:34only proves one thing,
00:44:35Julian.
00:44:35You're powerless.
00:44:36I must have been blind
00:44:37to waste 10 years
00:44:38on a man like you.
00:44:41$4 million
00:44:41and you can keep
00:44:43the villa.
00:44:43That has to be enough!
00:44:44You'll regret
00:44:45walking away
00:44:46from this offer!
00:44:48I'm not the one
00:44:48who's going to regret this.
00:44:51She has no connections,
00:44:53no income,
00:44:54no one behind her!
00:44:55She's just a housewife!
00:44:56How the hell
00:44:57does she have the nerve?
00:45:07Sister!
00:45:09Sophie,
00:45:10thank you for coming.
00:45:11Hand them over.
00:45:13Sophie,
00:45:14this is all the information
00:45:14about those two
00:45:15offshore companies
00:45:15from Derek's computer.
00:45:16Passwords,
00:45:17accounts,
00:45:17transfer records,
00:45:18and scan copies
00:45:19of the original
00:45:19nominee agreements
00:45:20are all here.
00:45:20Until I say this is over,
00:45:21Julian doesn't hear
00:45:22a word about any of it.
00:45:23Understood?
00:45:23Of course.
00:45:24We won't tell him a word.
00:45:26That's enough.
00:45:27Go home.
00:45:29Sophie,
00:45:29I'm sorry.
00:45:31Before,
00:45:31I shouldn't have
00:45:32treated you like that.
00:45:33Your apology
00:45:34means nothing to me.
00:45:37I have somewhere to be.
00:45:39Bye.
00:45:50Grandpa,
00:45:51what's going on?
00:45:53Everyone,
00:45:54your attention please.
00:45:55Take a good look.
00:45:56This is my granddaughter,
00:45:57Sophie.
00:45:57She is the future head
00:45:58of Whitmore Materials Group.
00:46:00Welcome back,
00:46:02Whitmore.
00:46:04Grandpa,
00:46:05I don't know what to say.
00:46:06Everything here
00:46:07will be yours.
00:46:08You deserve to be
00:46:09welcomed properly.
00:46:10Come on,
00:46:11let's make your return
00:46:12official.
00:46:14Let's go.
00:46:18Here's an overview
00:46:19of our key clients
00:46:20from the past several years.
00:46:21Please review it.
00:46:22Maintain normal deliveries
00:46:24for every other client.
00:46:26Prescott Development Group
00:46:27is the exception.
00:46:28Its payments have been
00:46:29repeatedly delayed
00:46:30since last year
00:46:31with one invoice
00:46:32now four months
00:46:33past due.
00:46:34That violates
00:46:34Whitmore Materials Group's
00:46:36credit policy.
00:46:37But Prescott Development Group
00:46:38has been a stable client
00:46:40for years.
00:46:41Mr. Prescott
00:46:41has also assured us that
00:46:43Julian's promises
00:46:44don't matter.
00:46:45The contract does.
00:46:46Suspend deliveries
00:46:47to any client
00:46:48whose payments
00:46:48are more than 60 days overdue.
00:46:50Any objections?
00:46:52Mr. Whitmore,
00:46:53would you like to weigh in?
00:46:55Follow Sophie's instructions.
00:46:57Her word
00:46:58carries the same authority
00:47:00as mine.
00:47:00I know Prescott Development Group's
00:47:02internal situation
00:47:02better than anyone
00:47:03in this room,
00:47:04so let me be clear.
00:47:05Julia betrayed me.
00:47:07He stole 10 years
00:47:08of my life.
00:47:08I am absolutely
00:47:09making him pay for it.
00:47:11But I haven't broken
00:47:12a single rule.
00:47:13Now, does anyone
00:47:13still have a problem
00:47:14with my decision?
00:47:15We fully support
00:47:16the Lady Boss.
00:47:18We fully support
00:47:19the Lady Boss.
00:47:27You came in swinging.
00:47:29Your very first move
00:47:30put Prescott Development Group
00:47:32on the ropes.
00:47:32Damn, that was satisfying.
00:47:34I don't start wars, Rachel.
00:47:36But when someone comes
00:47:37for me,
00:47:37I finish them.
00:47:38Then I have
00:47:39a quick follow-up.
00:47:41Let's give Ms. Whitfield
00:47:42another chance
00:47:43to make Julian pay.
00:47:47You went through
00:47:48all of Derek's files already?
00:47:50Julian's real assets
00:47:51aren't the public
00:47:52$1 billion market value,
00:47:54but $170 million
00:47:56in actual disposable funds.
00:47:58Of this,
00:47:59at least $45 million
00:48:00went ashore,
00:48:01with $30 million
00:48:02under Vivian's name,
00:48:03while the rest
00:48:04sits in Prescott Development
00:48:05Group's company account.
00:48:07If we take this
00:48:08all the way to court,
00:48:09how much can I
00:48:10realistically recover?
00:48:11Marriage law dictates
00:48:12an equal split
00:48:13of joint assets,
00:48:14but his affair
00:48:15and asset transfers
00:48:16change things.
00:48:17Our lawyer confirms
00:48:18the court will favor you
00:48:19as the injured Barty.
00:48:20A conservative estimate
00:48:21fits your share
00:48:22at $60 to $75 million.
00:48:24What if we claw back
00:48:25everything he moved?
00:48:26If we recover
00:48:27everything Julian moved,
00:48:28you walk away
00:48:29with at least $90 million.
00:48:31$90 million?
00:48:33Not bad.
00:48:34I put $400,000
00:48:35into his startup
00:48:3610 years ago.
00:48:37The return on that
00:48:38investment is better
00:48:39than I expected,
00:48:40but it is not enough.
00:48:42What do you want?
00:48:43Prescott Development Group.
00:48:45You want to take
00:48:46the entire company
00:48:47away from Julian?
00:48:48I'm not taking it from him.
00:48:49I am taking it back.
00:48:51Sophie, $90 million
00:48:52is already
00:48:53a substantial recovery.
00:48:55Going after the entire
00:48:55company is another matter.
00:48:57Prescott Development Group
00:48:58wouldn't even exist
00:48:59without my money
00:49:00and my connections.
00:49:01I built his empire
00:49:02and now I'm going to
00:49:03tear it down.
00:49:05Rachel, leave Julian
00:49:06with nothing.
00:49:07Put him right back
00:49:08to where he was
00:49:0810 years ago,
00:49:09empty-handed and irrelevant.
00:49:11That is his punishment.
00:49:18It's already been three days.
00:49:20Why the hell
00:49:21hasn't Sophie responded yet?
00:49:24She's made up her mind.
00:49:25She's going to fight
00:49:26this lawsuit
00:49:27to the bitter end.
00:49:28That shameless bitch.
00:49:30You offered her
00:49:31a generous settlement
00:49:32and she still has
00:49:32the nerve to refuse it.
00:49:34Let her keep feeding
00:49:34her greed.
00:49:35Sooner or sooner,
00:49:36she's going to choke on it.
00:49:37I'll give her some time
00:49:38to calm down.
00:49:39Then I'll sit down
00:49:40with her and try
00:49:41to negotiate again.
00:49:42Julian, I don't care
00:49:42what it takes.
00:49:43$4 million is the most
00:49:45you are giving her,
00:49:45not one cent more.
00:49:46Every dollar beyond that
00:49:47belongs to my son.
00:49:49Julian, let her sue.
00:49:50She has no family behind her
00:49:52and no resources of her own.
00:49:53Prescott Development Group
00:49:54has an entire legal team.
00:49:55Why should you be scared of her?
00:49:57Rachel is not some amateur.
00:49:59Our lawyers reviewed
00:50:00the situation
00:50:00and they advised against
00:50:01going to war with her right now.
00:50:02Then what the hell
00:50:03am I supposed to think?
00:50:04You and your lawyers
00:50:05are useless.
00:50:09Vivian, this isn't like you.
00:50:10You never used to talk like this.
00:50:12Vivian.
00:50:13I have always been
00:50:14this person, Julian.
00:50:14I refuse to stay trapped
00:50:15in the life I was born into,
00:50:16done working myself
00:50:17to the bone
00:50:17and counting petties
00:50:18just to survive.
00:50:19So I studied you.
00:50:20I learned exactly
00:50:21what you liked
00:50:21and I molded myself
00:50:22into the perfect woman for you.
00:50:24So the sweet,
00:50:25understanding woman
00:50:25I knew never existed.
00:50:27Now that you have my son,
00:50:28you no longer need the costume.
00:50:29Is that it?
00:50:30I do love you.
00:50:31I never lied about that.
00:50:32But I love the money
00:50:33and the life
00:50:33that come with you too.
00:50:34Why should those things
00:50:35be mutually exclusive?
00:50:37How can you?
00:50:38What?
00:50:39Starting to regret choosing me?
00:50:41I just need a little time
00:50:42to get used to everything.
00:50:42You can regret me
00:50:43all you want, Julian.
00:50:44It changes nothing.
00:50:45Even if you never
00:50:46put a ring on my finger,
00:50:47you still have a legal
00:50:47obligation to your son.
00:50:49He has inheritance rights
00:50:50and you cannot cut him
00:50:50out of your life
00:50:51or your estate.
00:50:51The law will make sure of that.
00:50:53Your relationship
00:50:53is your own business,
00:50:54but this child stays with us.
00:50:56He is the heir
00:50:57to the Prescott family.
00:50:58One last thing, Julian.
00:50:59I looked into your medical history.
00:51:00Your fertility never improved.
00:51:02With a count and mobility
00:51:03that low your chances
00:51:04of ever having another child
00:51:05or zero.
00:51:06You cornered me.
00:51:08Left me with absolutely nothing.
00:51:09This was your plan all along, wasn't it?
00:51:11I can't believe
00:51:12this is who you actually are.
00:51:15Change your mind
00:51:16if you want to.
00:51:17We don't have to get married,
00:51:18but I'll make sure
00:51:19you never lay eyes
00:51:20on your child again.
00:51:21No.
00:51:21You cannot let that happen.
00:51:23This is my grandson.
00:51:24Julian, think carefully.
00:51:25Vivian is only asking
00:51:27for reassurance
00:51:28of what she wants.
00:51:30All right.
00:51:31When you get out of the hospital,
00:51:33we will make it legal.
00:51:34Does that put your mind at ease?
00:51:35Transfer 40%
00:51:36of Prescott Development Group
00:51:37into my name.
00:51:38Once the shares are mine,
00:51:39I will sign the marriage license.
00:51:41Vivian, you...
00:51:42I have no interest
00:51:43in managing the company.
00:51:44You can remain in charge,
00:51:45but I will have the shares.
00:51:47That equity stape
00:51:48is the only real protection
00:51:49my son and I have.
00:51:50Our son is going to inherit
00:51:52everything I have.
00:51:53Why is that not enough?
00:51:54Why would I trust
00:51:55a promise like that?
00:51:56You cheated on Sophie
00:51:57and planned to throw her away.
00:51:59Once our son is older,
00:52:00you could do the same to me
00:52:01and fight me for custody.
00:52:02I have no income
00:52:03and you have entire legal team.
00:52:05Without shares in my name,
00:52:07I could lose everything.
00:52:09You had this figured out
00:52:10from the beginning, did you?
00:52:11You abandoned Sophie for me
00:52:12and you could abandon me
00:52:13for another woman.
00:52:13I'm not as foolish
00:52:14and infationate as she is.
00:52:15What I want is long-term security
00:52:16and that's an equity stake.
00:52:17Don't forget, Julian,
00:52:18my son is the only heir
00:52:19you'll ever have.
00:52:20He's the only one left
00:52:20to carry on your legacy.
00:52:21That makes me highly valuable to you,
00:52:23so think very carefully.
00:52:24You closed off every exit
00:52:25before I even knew I was trapped.
00:52:27Do I have any choice left?
00:52:28Vivian, I underestimated you completely.
00:52:31You chose this, Julian,
00:52:32and you can't undo regret.
00:52:34I'm taking over now.
00:52:35Your mother and our son
00:52:36will be taken care of.
00:52:37That's one thing
00:52:38you'll never have to worry about.
00:52:39I heard you get some rest.
00:52:41I have a meeting
00:52:41to attend at the company.
00:52:43You have three days
00:52:44to put the share transfer
00:52:45appointment in front of me.
00:52:46Until those shares are secured,
00:52:48I will not have peace of mind.
00:52:50I know.
00:52:59Mr. Prescott.
00:53:00Can I have one damn minute of peace?
00:53:02Mr. Prescott,
00:53:03Whitmore Materials Group
00:53:04has issued a formal notice to us.
00:53:06What does it say?
00:53:07They are citing repeated breaches
00:53:08of our contractual payment terms.
00:53:10In fact, immediately,
00:53:11Whitmore Materials Group
00:53:12is cutting off
00:53:13all building material supplies
00:53:14to every project
00:53:14we have under construction
00:53:15until we settle
00:53:16the outstanding balances of the place.
00:53:17What the hell did you just say?
00:53:19You're cutting off materials
00:53:19to every active project?
00:53:23Mr. Prescott,
00:53:24we need a solution.
00:53:25We have three active
00:53:26construction projects,
00:53:27including Sierra Towers,
00:53:28which is 70% pre-sold.
00:53:30If our materials are cut off,
00:53:32we will miss
00:53:32our two-month delivery deadline.
00:53:34Sierra Towers alone
00:53:35faces a conservative
00:53:3611 million Dan damages.
00:53:38And that doesn't even count
00:53:39the fallout
00:53:40for the other two projects.
00:53:41We've always had
00:53:42a great partnership
00:53:43with Whitmore Materials Group.
00:53:45Even when our payments
00:53:47were delayed,
00:53:47they prioritized our supplies.
00:53:49Why would they suddenly
00:53:50cut off our building materials now?
00:53:56I made some calls.
00:53:58They said,
00:53:59what did they say?
00:54:03They only backed Prescott
00:54:04as a favorite
00:54:05and as a Whitmore.
00:54:06And now she's enforcing
00:54:08the contract exactly.
00:54:10So?
00:54:12Miss Whitford?
00:54:13There isn't one
00:54:14in senior management.
00:54:15The only Whitmore running
00:54:16Whitmore Materials Group
00:54:16is Chairman Henry.
00:54:18Your wife, Sophie.
00:54:22What the hell are you saying?
00:54:24Sophie was the one behind this?
00:54:26Julian, this is Ethan,
00:54:28a client relations manager
00:54:29at Whitmore Materials Group.
00:54:32Wait.
00:54:34Sophie did connect us
00:54:35to Whitmore Materials Group,
00:54:36but all she did
00:54:37was make an introduction.
00:54:38I'm the one who spent years
00:54:39maintaining that relationship.
00:54:41She spent all this time at home.
00:54:42How the hell could she
00:54:43have enough power
00:54:43at Whitford
00:54:44to cut me off overnight?
00:54:46Mr. Prescott?
00:55:04Sophie, what exactly did you do?
00:55:05Nothing much.
00:55:07Your payments are overdue,
00:55:08so I simply told
00:55:09Whitmerry Materials Group
00:55:10to stop supplying
00:55:11your construction materials.
00:55:12You think you can take revenge
00:55:13on me like this?
00:55:15Listen to me, Sophie.
00:55:17You are not going to win.
00:55:19Let's see which one of us
00:55:21is still standing
00:55:22when this is over.
00:55:23What the hell is your connection
00:55:25to Whitmore Materials Group?
00:55:26I spent 10 years
00:55:28building that relationship.
00:55:29How did you cut me off
00:55:30just like that?
00:55:31Because my surname
00:55:33is Whitmore.
00:55:35Whitmore.
00:55:39Whitmore, as in the family
00:55:40that owns Whitmore Materials Group.
00:55:42Whitmore, as in Henry
00:55:44Whitmore, the chairman himself.
00:55:48You're Henry Whitmore's
00:55:49granddaughter?
00:55:50The one who left her family
00:55:51because of a man?
00:56:00Why is he here?
00:56:02Who knows?
00:56:02Now that our Mrs. Whitmore
00:56:04is back on top,
00:56:05he probably came crawling
00:56:06over here to beg her
00:56:07to spare him.
00:56:10I need to see Sophie.
00:56:13Do you have an appointment?
00:56:15No.
00:56:17Tell her I won't leave this palace
00:56:18until she agrees to see me.
00:56:21Miss Whitman,
00:56:22Julia would like to see you.
00:56:24He says he won't leave
00:56:24unless you meet with him.
00:56:27Of course.
00:56:28Understood.
00:56:30Come with me.
00:56:40Mrs. Whitmore,
00:56:42Mr. Prescott has arrived.
00:56:43You may go now.
00:56:45You may go now.
00:57:04Have a seat.
00:57:10You're really different
00:57:10from the woman you used to be.
00:57:13Whatever you came here to say,
00:57:14say it now.
00:57:15I have work to do.
00:57:18Sophie, you're the heir
00:57:19to Whitmore Materials Group.
00:57:20How could you keep something
00:57:21this important for me?
00:57:22I went against my grandfather
00:57:23for you.
00:57:23I gave up my family for you.
00:57:25And what did I get in return?
00:57:26I nearly got thrown
00:57:27out of my own home.
00:57:28The more I think about it,
00:57:30the more pathetic
00:57:30this whole thing feels.
00:57:32I was wrong.
00:57:33I handle it poorly.
00:57:34Fine.
00:57:35But we built a life together.
00:57:37Are you truly prepared
00:57:38to leave me with
00:57:39absolutely nothing?
00:57:40Your payment deadline
00:57:41has passed.
00:57:42I'm doing exactly
00:57:43what the contract
00:57:43allows me to do.
00:57:45It was a temporary
00:57:46cash flow problem.
00:57:47Every real estate company
00:57:48is a few days late
00:57:49paying an invoice sometimes.
00:57:50That's how this industry
00:57:51works and you know it.
00:57:53I know.
00:57:54But I can give
00:57:55other real estate companies
00:57:56a chance.
00:57:57You don't get one.
00:58:02If I gave you a chance
00:58:03after everything you've done,
00:58:04I'd feel sick about it
00:58:05for the rest of my life.
00:58:10Julian, I'm taking over
00:58:11Prescott Development Group
00:58:12for good.
00:58:12Don't look to other suppliers
00:58:13for help either.
00:58:14I've convinced them all
00:58:15to follow Whitmore's lead
00:58:16and demand payment
00:58:16before delivery.
00:58:17Sophie!
00:58:18You're a cold-blooded,
00:58:18vicious woman
00:58:19of everything we've shared
00:58:20over the years!
00:58:20Right?
00:58:21If I weren't a bit ruthless,
00:58:22how could I possibly outwit you
00:58:23who's been pretending
00:58:23for ten years?
00:58:25Unless you have anything else,
00:58:26get the hell out.
00:58:27My time is worth
00:58:28too much to waste on you.
00:58:35Sophie,
00:58:36are you really going
00:58:37to take this all the way?
00:58:38See yourself out.
00:58:43How stupid would I have to be
00:58:44to give you another chance
00:58:45to cause trouble?
00:58:51Yeah?
00:58:52Julian, you haven't come
00:58:53to the hospital
00:58:54to see the baby in two days.
00:58:55We're being discharged today.
00:58:56Come pick us up.
00:58:56Fine.
00:58:57I know.
00:59:02Julian, I saw the news.
00:59:04Is Sophie really the Whitmore?
00:59:05Mrs. Whitmore?
00:59:06The only heir to Whitmore Materials Group?
00:59:08Is it true?
00:59:11It's true.
00:59:13What is it?
00:59:14Regret?
00:59:15Are you finally realizing
00:59:17what you cost your precious son?
00:59:18He had a golden ticket
00:59:20and he completely threw it away.
00:59:22And he completely threw it away.
00:59:25That's not...
00:59:26That's fine.
00:59:27You can bring her back
00:59:28and make her your precious
00:59:29daughter-in-law again.
00:59:30I'll take my son and leave
00:59:31so she can have her place back.
00:59:33Vivian, don't read too much into it.
00:59:35I was just curious.
00:59:36I was only asking.
00:59:37Enough.
00:59:38Let's go home first.
00:59:44Julian, your three days are up.
00:59:46Where is the share transfer agreement?
00:59:48The company is about to go under
00:59:50and you're still thinking about shares?
00:59:51What do you mean?
00:59:53You were both so focused
00:59:54on Sophie going back
00:59:55to Whitmore Materials Group
00:59:56that you never stopped
00:59:57to think she might retaliate.
00:59:5940% of our construction materials
01:00:00come from Whitmore.
01:00:01Now she's aggressively chasing
01:00:02every overdue payment.
01:00:04Whitmore Materials Group.
01:00:05Re-Whitmore is not the only
01:00:06building materials supplier
01:00:07in the...
01:00:08Prescott Development Group.
01:00:09She convinced every supplier
01:00:10to demand payment up front
01:00:11and all our cash is tied up
01:00:12in the project.
01:00:12If we can't survive this crisis,
01:00:13Prescott Development Group
01:00:14goes bankrupt.
01:00:15You want stock
01:00:15and a higher social lateral?
01:00:16Dream on!
01:00:17Is it really that serious?
01:00:19We're on my way to the hospital.
01:00:20The bank called
01:00:21demanding our $4 million
01:00:22loan repayment
01:00:23or they'll freeze our assets.
01:00:25Plus, the divorce hits court
01:00:27the day after tomorrow.
01:00:28If we lose,
01:00:29she gets at least 30% of everything.
01:00:32Then go beg her, Julian!
01:00:34You were her husband!
01:00:35She used to hang on
01:00:36your every word!
01:00:37She loved you enough
01:00:38to give up everything for you!
01:00:40She might still live...
01:00:40Begging will only give Sophie
01:00:41the chance to humiliate him.
01:00:43A wounded woman
01:00:44can be crueler than any man.
01:00:45Stop hoping she'll
01:00:46suddenly show mercy.
01:00:47She won't.
01:00:50I seriously underestimated
01:00:51with just how calculating you are.
01:00:53I know you regret
01:00:54starting this with me.
01:00:54I know you're already sick of me,
01:00:56but I don't care.
01:00:56Sleep with as many women
01:00:57as you want after this.
01:00:58It makes no difference to me.
01:00:59You know, having my son
01:01:00gives you all the leverage you need
01:01:01and he'll be my only son.
01:01:03That's your whole plan, isn't it?
01:01:04Exactly.
01:01:04So even if you build
01:01:05another home with someone else
01:01:06and never come back here again,
01:01:08it doesn't matter to me.
01:01:10It turns out you're the coldest
01:01:11one of us all.
01:01:12Can love feed me?
01:01:12Can I cash it out and spend it?
01:01:13Can it secure the rest of my life?
01:01:15Come on.
01:01:15You're not some naive little boy
01:01:16who still thinks feelings
01:01:17are worth anything.
01:01:18You.
01:01:19Go kneel in front of Sophie
01:01:20and beg her where everyone
01:01:21can see you.
01:01:21The wealthier people are,
01:01:23the more they care
01:01:23about their reputation.
01:01:24So use public pressure
01:01:25and guilt against her.
01:01:26I refuse to believe
01:01:27she'll remain unmoved.
01:01:28How can you be so cruel?
01:01:29Vivian, when Sophie was here,
01:01:30she always treated my mother
01:01:31with respect, but you...
01:01:32Stop bringing her up around me.
01:01:34You're the one
01:01:35who plotted to kick her out.
01:01:36Your little plan just blew up
01:01:37in your face
01:01:38and now you're stuck
01:01:38with no way forward
01:01:39and no way back.
01:01:40None of this would have happened
01:01:42if you hadn't seduced me.
01:01:43Oh, stop blaming me
01:01:44for your own choices.
01:01:45I didn't drag you into bed, Julian.
01:01:47You walked there yourself.
01:01:48Now you're looking at your son
01:01:49and pretending you're
01:01:50some tragic victim?
01:01:52Give me a break.
01:01:53You cheated on your wife
01:01:54and you got played.
01:01:55Deal with it.
01:01:57You.
01:01:59Go on, hit me.
01:02:00Go ahead, Julian.
01:02:01Hit me, I dare you.
01:02:03Lay one finger on me
01:02:04and I'll take our son
01:02:04and disappear.
01:02:05You'll never see him.
01:02:06again.
01:02:06If you don't believe me,
01:02:08try it.
01:02:09Sure.
01:02:10Julian, let it go.
01:02:11Just let it go.
01:02:14But mom...
01:02:15All right.
01:02:16I'm going to check
01:02:17on my grandson.
01:02:17You two need
01:02:18to stop fighting.
01:02:22Cut the dutiful son
01:02:23routine, Julian.
01:02:24Everyone in this room
01:02:25knows you're
01:02:26a complete frog.
01:02:28Vivian, how did
01:02:29you become like this?
01:02:30You know I'm impatient.
01:02:31Stop fighting among ourselves.
01:02:33If Sophie won't budge,
01:02:34fine.
01:02:34We go to court.
01:02:35We already hid most
01:02:36of our assets
01:02:37over the last few months
01:02:38anyway.
01:02:39Worst case scenario,
01:02:40she splits your
01:02:40remaining holdings.
01:02:42You make it sound
01:02:42so simple.
01:02:44What other choice
01:02:44do we have?
01:02:45If this keeps going,
01:02:46nobody wins.
01:02:47Let her get it out
01:02:48of her system.
01:02:48We lose some money,
01:02:49buy our way out of trouble
01:02:49and move on with our lives.
01:02:51Fine.
01:02:51That's the only move
01:02:52we have left.
01:02:53But I'll need the 30 million
01:02:54sitting in your private
01:02:54accounts to keep
01:02:55the business afloat.
01:02:55No way.
01:02:57That money is my safety net.
01:02:58Nobody gets to touch it.
01:03:00You selfish...
01:03:01You've got three
01:03:02active developments.
01:03:03Sell off the other two
01:03:04and focus everything
01:03:05on Sierra Towers.
01:03:06There.
01:03:07Problem solved.
01:03:09Whitmer Materials Group
01:03:09won't have you
01:03:10by the throat anymore.
01:03:15Please be seated.
01:03:17The court is now
01:03:18in session for the
01:03:19divorce proceedings
01:03:20of Sophie Whitmer
01:03:21and Julian Prescott.
01:03:22These are the complete
01:03:23records showing that
01:03:24Miss transferred
01:03:25his personal assets
01:03:26through two offshore
01:03:26companies registered
01:03:27in the Cayman Islands,
01:03:29Khaven Holdings
01:03:30and Lujing International.
01:03:31How could she know
01:03:32about this?
01:03:32Over a three-year period,
01:03:33he moved a total
01:03:34of $45 million.
01:03:36Of that,
01:03:37$30 million ended up
01:03:38under the name
01:03:39of a third party.
01:03:41Mrs. Vivian.
01:03:43You transferred assets?
01:03:44This puts you
01:03:45in a very bad position.
01:03:46Why didn't you
01:03:47tell me sooner?
01:03:47Gaby, you need
01:03:49to get me out of this.
01:03:50There has to be
01:03:51something you can do.
01:03:52What exactly
01:03:53do you expect me
01:03:54to do now?
01:03:56Counsel,
01:03:58order in the court.
01:03:59The plaintiff
01:04:00has shown sufficient
01:04:00evidence of massive
01:04:01asset transfers
01:04:02and ongoing risk.
01:04:04The application
01:04:05for property preservation
01:04:06is granted.
01:04:12of the court.
01:04:13tell me exactly
01:04:14how much you want.
01:04:15Name your price
01:04:15and let's end this.
01:04:19I told you already.
01:04:21I'm taking you
01:04:21all the way back
01:04:22to the life
01:04:22you had 10 years ago.
01:04:24If you keep pushing me
01:04:24like this
01:04:25and Prescott Development Group
01:04:25collapses,
01:04:26you won't get any money either.
01:04:27We'll both lose everything.
01:04:28Even if I don't get
01:04:29a single cent,
01:04:29I will have my revenge.
01:04:31Besides,
01:04:32whether Prescott Development Group
01:04:33collapses is entirely up to me.
01:04:357.5 million.
01:04:36I'll give you 7.5 million
01:04:37in the villa.
01:04:38Will that satisfy you?
01:04:39Not even close.
01:04:4415 million.
01:04:46Sophie,
01:04:4615 million dollars.
01:04:48That has to be enough,
01:04:49right?
01:04:50Vivian cost you
01:04:50over 30 million dollars.
01:04:52Yet you think
01:04:53you can get rid of me
01:04:54for half that?
01:04:55You seriously
01:04:56underestimate me
01:04:57if you think
01:04:57I'm someone
01:04:58you can just push around.
01:04:59Sophie,
01:04:59you've completely
01:05:00lost your mind.
01:05:01You've gone fucking
01:05:01crazy.
01:05:05How did she find out
01:05:06about the 30 million dollars
01:05:08you transferred to me?
01:05:09You said those transfers
01:05:10were well hidden.
01:05:11You said there was no chance
01:05:12anything could go wrong.
01:05:13But she knows now.
01:05:15I already told you
01:05:17that 30 million
01:05:18is my safety net.
01:05:20Even if you end up
01:05:21with nothing,
01:05:22I still need it to live on
01:05:23for the rest of my life.
01:05:25Nobody touches that money.
01:05:27Tell that to the judge.
01:05:29Go ahead.
01:05:33What do we do now?
01:05:37What choice do we have?
01:05:39We give Sophie
01:05:40whatever she wants.
01:05:41Right now,
01:05:42I only care about
01:05:43keeping Prescott
01:05:44Development Group alive.
01:05:45Even after I hand over
01:05:46half the shares,
01:05:47Derek still controls
01:05:48a block of stock for me.
01:05:49Add that to what I keep
01:05:50and I'm still
01:05:50the largest shareholder.
01:05:52Prescott Development Group
01:05:53still answers to me.
01:05:55And once Sophie
01:05:56owns the second largest state,
01:05:57she won't be able
01:05:58to destroy the company
01:05:58without destroying
01:05:59her own investment.
01:06:00Fine.
01:06:01You can give her the shares.
01:06:02But you are not touching
01:06:03a single cent of my money.
01:06:06The shares aren't enough.
01:06:07I also have to give her money.
01:06:08I don't have enough cash.
01:06:09How is that my problem?
01:06:11I already told you.
01:06:12That 30 million
01:06:13is my safety net.
01:06:14It's mine.
01:06:16What did you just say?
01:06:20After everything that's happened,
01:06:21you still think
01:06:22you can walk away clean?
01:06:24You think this has
01:06:25nothing to do with you?
01:06:27Keep dreaming.
01:06:29What are you doing?
01:06:30Let her go!
01:06:38Why can't the two of you
01:06:39talk this through calmly?
01:06:42Mom, stay out of this.
01:06:43Give me the money
01:06:44and I'll go reconcile
01:06:45with her right now.
01:06:46It's the only way
01:06:47to save the company
01:06:47and keep your lifestyle.
01:06:48If you don't,
01:06:49the court will seize
01:06:50everything anyway.
01:06:51But I...
01:06:52the company is my life.
01:06:53If you won't give me
01:06:54the money to save it,
01:06:55then today is the end
01:06:56for both of us.
01:06:57Okay, okay.
01:06:58I'll transfer it.
01:06:59Just let go of me.
01:06:59Transfer the money
01:07:00to me right now.
01:07:04Done.
01:07:05It's sent.
01:07:07I asked nicely before.
01:07:08Now,
01:07:09you don't get a choice.
01:07:13I'll give you
01:07:14half of the assets.
01:07:15I'll also give you
01:07:16half of the 61% state
01:07:17I currently hold.
01:07:18You have no objections.
01:07:20Sign the property settlement.
01:07:24Oh?
01:07:25Why are you being
01:07:26so cooperative this time?
01:07:29Prescott Development Group
01:07:30can't afford to drag
01:07:31this out any longer.
01:07:32Is that the answer
01:07:33you wanted?
01:07:34But I'm still having fun,
01:07:36Julian.
01:07:37I'm nowhere near
01:07:38finished with you.
01:07:39Sophie,
01:07:40don't push this too far.
01:07:41I've already made
01:07:42the biggest concession
01:07:43I can.
01:07:43You're the one
01:07:43begging me for mercy.
01:07:45Are you sure
01:07:46that's the tone
01:07:46you want to use?
01:07:47You!
01:07:48Mrs. Wittner,
01:07:49even if the court
01:07:50issues a ruling,
01:07:50the outcome would be
01:07:51substantially the same.
01:07:53If Prescott Development Group
01:07:54goes bankrupt,
01:07:55none of this
01:07:56will have any value to you.
01:07:57Wouldn't you agree?
01:07:59The agreement checks out.
01:08:01Everything is clean.
01:08:03All right.
01:08:06Now you can lift
01:08:07the restrictions
01:08:08on Prescott Development Group,
01:08:09right?
01:08:09The divorce comes first.
01:08:11Once it's finalized,
01:08:12I'll lift the restrictions.
01:08:14After all,
01:08:14I'm now a major shareholder
01:08:15in Prescott Development Group 2.
01:08:17I have no interest
01:08:17in losing money.
01:08:19Do you?
01:08:26That's it?
01:08:27You're just letting him go?
01:08:29Not a chance.
01:08:30I meant what I said.
01:08:31I'm going to ruin him
01:08:32till he has nothing left.
01:08:37Uncle Charlie,
01:08:38I've thought it over.
01:08:39I'm ready to talk
01:08:40through the partnership now.
01:08:41Ha ha ha.
01:08:42Sophie,
01:08:43I've been waiting
01:08:43for your call
01:08:44for three days.
01:08:45Then I'll come over shortly
01:08:47and we can catch up.
01:08:48Sounds good.
01:08:50I'll have the most
01:08:51delicious pastries
01:08:52waiting for you.
01:08:54This Uncle Charlie is?
01:08:56Charles Dawson.
01:08:57He's the powerhouse
01:08:58behind Libra Capital
01:08:59and a childhood friend
01:09:00of my father's.
01:09:00Two years ago,
01:09:02he threw Julian
01:09:02a financial inline
01:09:03in exchange
01:09:04for a 12% stake.
01:09:0612% plus the 17%
01:09:08Derek is holding
01:09:08on Julian's behalf,
01:09:09that makes 29%.
01:09:12And Julian has to give me
01:09:13at least half
01:09:14of the 61% stake
01:09:16under his name.
01:09:17Then your total stake
01:09:19will exceed 50%.
01:09:20Exactly.
01:09:22The outcome of this battle
01:09:23was decided
01:09:24from the very beginning.
01:09:26Julian simply had no idea.
01:09:28Holy shit,
01:09:29you're a fucking genius.
01:09:36I'm one of Prescott
01:09:37Development Group groups now.
01:09:39Set up a shareholders meeting.
01:09:40There is something important
01:09:41I need to announce.
01:09:46Let me introduce Sophie,
01:09:48the second largest shareholder
01:09:49in our company.
01:09:50She now holds a 30% state.
01:09:52Please welcome her.
01:10:02I call for Julian's immediate removal
01:10:04as chairman
01:10:05and from the board.
01:10:06Sophie, are you out
01:10:07of your goddamn mind?
01:10:11Let's put it to a show of hands.
01:10:13Sophie,
01:10:14holding the same percentage
01:10:16of shares
01:10:16doesn't make you my equal.
01:10:18I built and ran
01:10:19Prescott Development Group
01:10:20for years.
01:10:21You can't just walk
01:10:22through the door
01:10:22and kick me out
01:10:23of my own company.
01:10:24You're delusional.
01:10:29Derek!
01:10:31What do you think
01:10:32you're doing?
01:10:33You're my cousin.
01:10:34You're only holding
01:10:34those shares on my behalf.
01:10:36How dare you betray me?
01:10:37Let's face it, Julian.
01:10:39This company only succeeded
01:10:40because of Sophie.
01:10:42I mean,
01:10:42Ms. Whitmer
01:10:43putting her in charge
01:10:44is the best thing
01:10:44that could happen
01:10:45to Prescott Development Group.
01:10:46I agree.
01:10:47Mr. Dawson,
01:10:49what exactly
01:10:49did Sophie offer you?
01:10:51I bought those shares
01:10:52because of Sophie,
01:10:54Mr. Prescott.
01:10:55Without her,
01:10:56I never would have believed
01:10:58in your company,
01:10:59let alone invested
01:11:00a single dime.
01:11:01You.
01:11:01Of course,
01:11:02business is business.
01:11:04The company's interests
01:11:05come before everything else.
01:11:06Your personal affairs
01:11:08have already seriously damaged
01:11:10its share price
01:11:10and reputation.
01:11:12As a shareholder,
01:11:13I have a responsibility
01:11:14to protect my investment.
01:11:22The vote carries.
01:11:23As of today,
01:11:25Prescott Development Group
01:11:26will officially become
01:11:27Wiltmore Development Group.
01:11:29You!
01:11:29You're destroying me!
01:11:30You're taking
01:11:31Prescott Development Group away!
01:11:32You're just stealing it!
01:11:35You're destroying me!
01:11:37You're taking
01:11:37Prescott Development Group away!
01:11:39You're just stealing it!
01:11:39It's already over, Julian.
01:11:41Prescott Development Group
01:11:42is gone tomorrow.
01:11:42I'm sending in a management team
01:11:44to restructure
01:11:44for every single asset.
01:11:46I'm building a new company
01:11:47on your ashes.
01:11:48Are you planning
01:11:49to dilute my shares, too?
01:11:50If you have an objection,
01:11:51keep it to yourself.
01:11:52Your opinion
01:11:53no longer matters here.
01:11:56Sophie, you win!
01:11:57You took everything!
01:11:58Prescott Development Group
01:11:59is yours now!
01:12:00In addition,
01:12:01Ms. Whitmore,
01:12:02regarding the shares
01:12:02currently under my name...
01:12:04Out of that 17%,
01:12:052% becomes yours.
01:12:07Transfer 5% to George for me.
01:12:08The rest comes directly to me.
01:12:10Thank you, Ms. Whitmore.
01:12:11Thank you so much.
01:12:11We're done here.
01:12:12Meeting adjourned.
01:12:16Julian,
01:12:17you're back.
01:12:18You're officially divorced now.
01:12:19We can finally be together
01:12:20and get married.
01:12:21Before she had the baby,
01:12:23this was exactly how
01:12:24she pretended to be innocent.
01:12:26What's wrong, sweetheart?
01:12:27Why are you looking at me like that?
01:12:33Honey,
01:12:34we need to give our child
01:12:35a complete family,
01:12:35don't we?
01:12:37Fine.
01:12:38We can get married,
01:12:39but understand this clearly.
01:12:40I'm doing it for my son,
01:12:42not for you.
01:12:42But you won't receive any shares.
01:12:44All of my assets
01:12:45will be premarital property.
01:12:47What?
01:12:48No!
01:12:48You have to give me
01:12:49half of the shares!
01:12:50You promised me!
01:12:51You still have the nerve
01:12:52to ask me for shares?
01:12:53Because of you,
01:12:53I was removed from the board.
01:12:54Prescott Development Group
01:12:55belongs to Sophie now.
01:12:57What did you say?
01:12:57Prescott Development Group
01:12:59no longer exists.
01:13:00Sophie renamed it
01:13:01Whitmore Development Group
01:13:02and the board threw me
01:13:04out of my own company!
01:13:05How did this happen?
01:13:07That's all because of you.
01:13:08Prescott Development Group
01:13:09is gone and at least
01:13:10half of my remaining shares
01:13:11will be divined.
01:13:12You made this mess, Julian,
01:13:13so stop crying victim.
01:13:15You promised me shares
01:13:16and I expect you to deliver!
01:13:18Even if it's 5%
01:13:19out of the 10 you have left.
01:13:20Try to cheat me
01:13:21and I will take our son
01:13:22so far away
01:13:23you'll never see him again.
01:13:25Watch your legacy
01:13:26end with you.
01:13:28Don't you dare.
01:13:30Try me.
01:13:32What's going on again?
01:13:34Why are you arguing again?
01:13:36Don't hurt the baby!
01:13:37Back off!
01:13:38Keep your hands off my baby.
01:13:40Mom, are you okay?
01:13:42I'm okay.
01:13:47You bitch!
01:13:48How dare you push my mother!
01:13:50I don't care about anything else.
01:13:51Give me my shares.
01:13:52Yes or no.
01:13:54Give me back my baby!
01:13:59Mom, take my son and go.
01:14:02Mom, take my son and go.
01:14:07Bring my son back!
01:14:09Give me my baby!
01:14:11Give me my baby!
01:14:22No!
01:14:23Come back!
01:14:24You can't take him from me!
01:14:27Give me my child!
01:14:30If you walk away with my son,
01:14:32I swear I'll throw myself
01:14:33off this roof!
01:14:34Vivian, please calm down.
01:14:36Whatever you want,
01:14:37we can discuss it.
01:14:38Julian, give me back my child
01:14:40and give me the shares.
01:14:41You promised me both!
01:14:42Go ahead and jump if you want.
01:14:44You are never getting my son back.
01:14:46Forget it.
01:14:47Julian, don't say that.
01:14:49Mom, she's only trying to scare us.
01:14:50Someone calculating as she is
01:14:51would never jump.
01:14:52Let's go.
01:14:52Julian, stop!
01:15:03Don't just stand there!
01:15:04Call 911!
01:15:09Grandpa, I put together
01:15:11the integration plan
01:15:12for Whitmore Materials Group
01:15:13and Prescott Development Group.
01:15:14Take a look when you have a minute.
01:15:15You don't need my approval
01:15:17for things like this anymore.
01:15:18I trust your judgment.
01:15:19Grandpa.
01:15:20You lost your parents so young
01:15:22and I'm not going to be around forever.
01:15:24You're the last of the Whitmans.
01:15:26This legacy was always meant for you.
01:15:29I promise, Grandpa,
01:15:30I won't disappoint you.
01:15:32I believe Whitmore Materials Group
01:15:33will do even better
01:15:34under your leadership.
01:15:43Doctor, how is she?
01:15:45The patient's spine is severely damaged.
01:15:48Although her life has been saved,
01:15:50but she may be paralyzed
01:15:53for life in the future.
01:15:57How did it all come to this?
01:16:00We had a good family once.
01:16:02How did everything fall apart so fast?
01:16:04It's karma.
01:16:05This is our punishment.
01:16:08Yeah, this is our punishment.
01:16:11Every bit of it.
01:16:35I will give you the whole world.
01:16:42What have I done?
01:16:44She gave me everything
01:16:45and I destroyed it with my own hands.
01:16:52I was wrong.
01:16:53God, I was so wrong.
01:16:56Julian.
01:17:01I can't undo any of it.
01:17:03I can never get her back.
01:17:06Never again.
01:17:10Fell off the rooftop?
01:17:12Is she okay?
01:17:13The spine was injured
01:17:14and the doctor said it's very likely
01:17:16she'll be paralyzed for life
01:17:17with little chance of recovery.
01:17:19Call it karma.
01:17:20She wanted to be the mistress
01:17:21and destroy a family
01:17:22so she had no one to blame but herself.
01:17:25All right.
01:17:26That's enough.
01:17:26Leave me alone for a moment.
01:17:28Of course, Miss Whitwear.
01:17:33Julian.
01:17:38Julian.
01:17:38Shouldn't you be at the hospital
01:17:40with your little sweetheart?
01:17:41Why are you here?
01:17:43Sophie, I know I have no right
01:17:45to ask anything of you
01:17:46after what I did
01:17:47but there's one thing
01:17:48I need you to agree with.
01:17:50Go ahead.
01:17:51But I'm not promising I'll agree.
01:17:55Buy out all the shares I have left.
01:17:59What's your price?
01:18:01$400,000.
01:18:06Julie, you're crazy!
01:18:0830% of the stock
01:18:09is enough to ensure
01:18:10you'll worry for life's your life.
01:18:12How could you suffer
01:18:12just for my dollars?
01:18:13Vivian is still lying
01:18:14in the hospital
01:18:15and your kid needs your support.
01:18:17I said $400,000.
01:18:19I gave you $400,000
01:18:21to get started 10 years ago.
01:18:23Are you giving everything back
01:18:24because you finally
01:18:25want to make amends?
01:18:26Or are you taking
01:18:27the same $400,000
01:18:28and trying again
01:18:29desperate to prove
01:18:30that your success
01:18:30was ever truly yours?
01:18:32Julian, don't do this.
01:18:33You're throwing everything away.
01:18:39I'll buy them.
01:18:45My son.
01:18:47Give him back to me.
01:18:48Vivian, you can't even move.
01:18:50We'll talk about it
01:18:52when you're doing better.
01:18:53I want it now!
01:18:54Give me back my son!
01:18:56That's my child!
01:18:57What right does your family
01:18:59have to take my child away?
01:19:00You're all a bunch of liars!
01:19:11Julian, you lying bastard!
01:19:14What are you screaming about?
01:19:15You can't move.
01:19:16How are you supposed
01:19:17to take care of a baby?
01:19:18Then give me my 30%.
01:19:19You promised me
01:19:20those shares, Julian!
01:19:21You are the reason
01:19:22I'm trapped in this bed!
01:19:23You owe me!
01:19:24The shares?
01:19:26They're gone.
01:19:28What?
01:19:30I sold all of my shares.
01:19:32You sold all of it?
01:19:34Go ahead.
01:19:35Guess what my entire
01:19:36stake was worth in the end.
01:19:37I don't care what you
01:19:38got for them.
01:19:38Just give me the money!
01:19:39I sold all of it
01:19:40for $400,000.
01:19:42$400,000?
01:19:43You gave away
01:19:4430% of the company
01:19:45for $400,000?
01:19:47Julian, are you insane?
01:19:49How are our son
01:19:50and I supposed to live?
01:19:51Didn't you go to
01:19:52great lengths to marry me
01:19:53and become Mrs. Prescott?
01:19:54We'll get married
01:19:55after you're discharged
01:19:56from the hospital
01:19:56and I'll let you
01:19:57be the legitimate
01:19:58Mrs. Prescott
01:19:59for the rest of your life.
01:20:00Right and wrong
01:20:01stopped mattering
01:20:02a long time ago.
01:20:04Relax, Vivian.
01:20:06I won't leave you
01:20:06just because you're paralyzed.
01:20:08I'll be by your side
01:20:09for the rest of your life.
01:20:10You wanted me so badly.
01:20:11Now we can spend
01:20:12every remaining day
01:20:13destroying each other.
01:20:15No, I don't want
01:20:16to tether you anymore.
01:20:17Get away from me!
01:20:18I'd rather die
01:20:18than spend my life with you!
01:20:20Julian.
01:20:21Mom, Sophie gave me
01:20:22$400,000
01:20:2310 years
01:20:24and made my success possible.
01:20:25I sold every share
01:20:26back to her
01:20:27for exactly $400,000.
01:20:29The public statement
01:20:30is out
01:20:30and the agreement
01:20:31has been notar-trized.
01:20:32There is no undoing it now.
01:20:34This is the debt
01:20:34I owe her.
01:20:35Maybe this is how
01:20:36it has to end.
01:20:38At least now
01:20:38you've finally repaid
01:20:39what you owed her.
01:20:40Sophie!
01:20:41Again!
01:20:42Why does she get everything?
01:20:44Why are you all
01:20:45punishing me?
01:20:46Tell that bitch
01:20:47to give me my money back!
01:20:49Go ahead.
01:20:50Keep screaming.
01:20:51You can't go anywhere.
01:20:53Once you wear yourself out,
01:20:54at least we'll get
01:20:54some peace and quiet.
01:20:57I rebuilt Prescott Development Group
01:20:58and got it running again.
01:21:00Sierra Towers
01:21:00was delivered
01:21:01right on schedule.
01:21:02Star Heaven Bay
01:21:02sold out on its very first day
01:21:04with $150 million in sales.
01:21:06Once Whitmore Materials Group
01:21:08and Prescott Development Group
01:21:09completed their integration,
01:21:11we controlled
01:21:11the entire supply chain
01:21:13from top to bottom.
01:21:14Our combined valuation
01:21:16soared past $2.25 billion.
01:21:19Ah!
01:21:21Where's Sophie?
01:21:22Make her come here
01:21:23and see me!
01:21:24Vivian,
01:21:25if you keep causing trouble,
01:21:26we'll bring you out.
01:21:27Exactly.
01:21:28After what you've done,
01:21:29you still have the nerve
01:21:30to come looking for Ms. Whitmore.
01:21:31Have you no shame?
01:21:33I lost the shares
01:21:34and the money.
01:21:35Why the hell
01:21:35should I care about shame?
01:21:37Get that bitch Sophie
01:21:38out here!
01:21:39What's going on here?
01:21:43You bitch!
01:21:44Give me back the money
01:21:45and the shares!
01:21:46They were supposed to be mine
01:21:47and my son!
01:21:58Are you done making a scene?
01:22:00Julian,
01:22:01that bitch called you here
01:22:01to throw me out,
01:22:02didn't she?
01:22:03I am not going anywhere.
01:22:04I would rather die right here
01:22:05than leave without my shares.
01:22:06Fine.
01:22:07If you're not leaving,
01:22:08neither am I.
01:22:08I'll sit right here
01:22:09for as long as you want
01:22:10to keep this up.
01:22:14Later,
01:22:15Julian took Vivian
01:22:16and left the city.
01:22:18I heard that when Vivian left,
01:22:20she cursed Julian,
01:22:22Margaret,
01:22:23and me.
01:22:24Years later,
01:22:24I heard from Derek
01:22:25that Julian and Vivian
01:22:26had been torturing each other
01:22:27painfully all along.
01:22:28By their 40s,
01:22:29they looked like they were in 60s.
01:22:31Never that is this
01:22:32going to see
01:22:32Canna Wittius anymore.
01:22:34Grandpa was getting older.
01:22:36Every day,
01:22:37I made time to be with him
01:22:39so he could enjoy
01:22:39the comfort
01:22:40of having his family close.
01:22:42He encouraged me
01:22:43to find someone suitable
01:22:44while I was still young.
01:22:46I declined
01:22:47and he never brought it up again.
01:22:48Thank you, Julian.
01:22:49Now,
01:22:50let's welcome our chairperson,
01:22:51Sophie Whitmore,
01:22:52to give a speech.
01:22:53Ms. Whitmore,
01:22:54you currently have
01:22:54three listed companies
01:22:55under your umbrella
01:22:56and rank fifth
01:22:57on the Forbes list
01:22:58of female business leaders.
01:22:59May I ask,
01:23:00what is the secret
01:23:01to your success?
01:23:02Choose the right path.
01:23:03Stay away from the wrong people.
01:23:04Never look back at the past.
01:23:05Ms. Whitmore,
01:23:06looking back on your many years
01:23:07of business career,
01:23:07who do you most appreciate?
01:23:09A driver.
01:23:11A driver?
01:23:12It pulled me out of the mud,
01:23:13helped me wash myself clean,
01:23:15and made it possible
01:23:15for me to stand here today.
01:23:17Mrs. Whitmore,
01:23:17what are your next plans?
01:23:18Over the next five years,
01:23:20Whitmore Materials Group
01:23:21will reach a market value
01:23:22of $15 billion.
01:23:23Some pain becomes
01:23:24your strongest armor
01:23:25once you've made it through.
01:23:26Wherever your road
01:23:27takes you next,
01:23:28may you become
01:23:29the brightest version
01:23:30of yourself.
01:23:31Thank you.
01:23:32Thank you.
