02:55but she's still the daughter we've loved for 20 years understandable so don't come back trying to
02:59fight for a position the ashford's won't mistreat you but you can't bully lily got it you better
03:04actually get it lily's not well she can't take stress brother don't talk to vivian like that she

03:22don't say that that's your room vivian don't come back and start taking lily's things
03:26did i say i wanted it i haven't said which room i'm taking
03:32vivian i was just worried you'd mind
03:37sweetie you're so good at minding things for other people ahead of time you could work as a
03:40theme park cast ember the guests haven't even opened their mouths and you've already arranged
03:44all their emotions for them do you always have to talk with knives in your words no i'm just a
03:48carter girl i like things clean and quick you guys insist on acting out a lifetime movie in front of
03:52me i can't follow can you slow it down vivian you just got back don't make everyone unhappy i
03:58watched them all protecting each other honestly i wasn't that upset i knew before i came that the
04:01ashfords weren't here to bring home a daughter they were here to bring home a position they could
04:04arrange too bad i'm not that cooperative
04:13vivian i'm sorry i didn't know this hadn't been cleaned how about i move out tonight and you take
04:16my room this is the room you prepared for the biological daughter mr and mrs said for now
04:26what gonna post it online for sympathy no i'm sending it to my mom let her see some negative
04:31review material for this rich family's place
04:39vivian don't blow this out of proportion the room can be cleaned lily's already been through enough
04:43stop pushing her mrs ashford i haven't even said a word and your whole family has already arranged
04:48my crimes for me very efficient just not very smart vivian stop arguing me it's all my fault no need
04:55to yell my hearing's fine i'm just allergic to unfairness can't stand double standards or messy
04:59accounting at dinner the ashfords had a table full of food looked expensive also cold
05:08not to your taste vivian's probably more used to home cooking this seared duck breast is from a
05:12private chef maybe it's too refined it's not refined it's bad vivian the private chef has worked for over
05:17a decade no one's ever said the food was bad that's because you're all too kind the duck's overcooked
05:21the cherry reduction is sloppy like a failed city just sits on top you grew up outside what do you
05:25know
05:28i grew up in jernich not in the wilderness
05:31your idea of the outside world is it just two things the ashfords and survival reality shows
05:37enough it's just a meal do you have to make a scene mr ashford you're the ones who brought me
05:41back
05:42you bring me back give me no room no respect and expect me to compliment bad food
05:45did you hire a narcissist coach to plan this ashford family reunion nothing about this is decent
05:52vivian do you hate the food because you hate me
05:56stop making everything about you the food being bad is the chef's problem you being dramatic is
06:01your problem two separate things vivian apologize to lily
06:06sorry we carter girls keep a strict schedule after nine we don't accept emotional terrorism
06:10also starting tomorrow i'll handle my own meals you don't need to bother and don't test my
06:14upbringing with this level of cooking you think the ashford's need your money good then i don't
06:21have to worry about you mooching miss your favorite chocolate souffle fresh out of the oven
06:28miss carter this one's good too why does she get a fresh souffle and i get a brownie miss lily
06:34isn't well mrs ashford specifically ordered it vivian if you want some we can prepare it for you tomorrow
06:38how long have you worked for the ashford's 12 years great please send me your employment contract
06:42w-2 isn't your moment record what do you mean
06:47i just wanted to see if the level of service where you distribute food based on favorism is worth 12
06:51years of pay vivian mrs davis is family
06:58then she should know about decency decent people keep clean books don't you think
07:02vivian don't give mrs davis at home you work so hard taking care of me then i really need to
07:06check
07:06because she's working hard for you spending ashford money and hurting my inheritance
07:09why is everything about money with you
07:13because right now money is the only value you've shown me
07:21next morning my breakfast arrived at the ashford's right on time smoked salmon eggs benedict
07:26handmade croissants fresh berries with greek yogurt and a warm vanilla latte
07:29miss mrs carter said you probably didn't eat well last night she wants you to have this for now
07:33she's sending the private chef over for lunch
07:36just got back and already putting on this much of a show you're really treating the ashford's like a hotel
07:42a hotel at least asks if you're comfortable you guys are worse than a hotel
07:52vivian letting outsiders come and go like this what kind of look is that
07:55like a normal person who was raised well and doesn't make herself suffer
07:58your adoptive parents usually spoil you like this
08:02yep that's why i'm emotionally stable physically healthy and don't use tears to get attention
08:06don't start on lily again
08:12miss carter i've put your things away mrs ashford said you'll stay here for now
08:15they'll make other arrangements in a few days
08:18who told you to touch my luggage organizing your luggage is part of my job
08:26what are you laughing at laughing at your poor work skills
08:29before going through someone's luggage did you not think to avoid the security cameras
08:35vivian stop scaring mrs davis she was just trying to help you unpack
08:38helping me by going through my documents
08:41vivian would he kill you to not cause trouble for one day
08:44then look what did you go through
08:57since the ashford's don't have a proper room for me i already had my daddy contact the neighbor last night
09:00next door
09:01yeah that townhouse is a little cleaner than yours less over-the-top decor i'm gonna buy it and live
09:04there
09:04myself ridiculous you just got back and you're moving out what do people
09:06and what do people think when you stuff your biological daughter in a storage room
09:09vivian are you still blaming me for taking your room i really can move
09:11don't move you stay near to kids don't solve problems by grabbing we just buy
09:14easy to say do you know how much the place next door costs
09:20sir the neighbor's here and a broker and a lawyer they're already at the door
09:26please come in
09:33sweetheart
09:34did you sleep well last night
09:36no it was dusty
09:38you are
09:41i'm vivian's mother
09:44mrs carter the child is already back with the ashford's don't you think it's a little
09:47inappropriate to interfere like mr ashford let's set aside whether your group has coming due next
09:50quarter the largest one so today i'm not just here to pick up my daughter i'm also here to see
09:54whether the ashford still intend to honor what they owe three years ago ashford group was short
09:58on cash it borrowed twice through intermediaries then pledged part of its equity to secure supply chain
10:02financing mr ashford dad i thought the company was stable
10:08mrs carter this must be some kind of misunderstanding there's no misunderstanding the misunderstanding was
10:14yours thinking vivian had nowhere else to go i just sat there drinking my tea completely calm
10:19my adoptive dad drove an old luxury car to look at property my adoptive mom pruned roses and designer
10:24coats they looked like any ordinary well f new indian family till my 18th birthday they handed me a full
10:28portfolio report commercial real estate bonds stakes unfamiliar do we actually have not much enough
10:32so you never have to take attitude from anyone turns out it's definitely enough lily stood at the
10:36foot of the stairs pale eyes full of panic she never imagined the adopted girl she's born had an
10:40entire new england asset chain behind mrs carter debts are debts family matters are family matter of
10:43course so i won't say much today just one question how do you plan to properly settle my daughter
10:50mrs carter it's all my fault i shouldn't have taken vivian's room i'll move out right now
10:53lily lily you already used this move last night
10:57vivian i just wanted to make you feel better i'm not angry i just think your acting still
11:00needs work if you're going to play the victim at least avoid the cameras last night you were with
11:05mrs davis planning to go through my files don't act innocent today what go through that folder and
11:11snap pictures if possible she's just an adopted girl how wealthy could she truly be she's definitely
11:15faking it what if she finds out she'll say you were helping her unpack anyway dad mom and my brother
11:19will believe me lily you no mom it's not like that i was just scared vivian would hate me i
11:23didn't
11:23mean any harm no malice just evil that comes naturally since the ashfields won't respect vivian
11:28my legal team will reassess the astra group's ability to repay mrs carter mr ashfield no need
11:31to be so nervous i'm not here to make things difficult for you i'm just here to tell you
11:34my daughter is not without people who will stand up for her
11:42what do you want vivian dad wants you to come home for dinner which home the ashford house oh

11:56not
11:56your family's past due customer i don't have to cooperate with your repayment schedule
12:00about that night i didn't know lily would do that you didn't know because you didn't want
12:04to know people who don't use their eyes should donate them to a street light at least that way
12:08they'd light something up i wasn't good to you before i'm sorry apology received forgiveness is
12:15in line how long depends on your performance then can you do me a favor at school some people have

16:51vivian mom hopes you'll come not for show i want to formally introduce you
17:00this is my daughter vivian so this is vivian she has your eyes catherine
17:07i'm fine sis good your emotional management's improving thanks for the compliment here
17:16sis so this is the daughter you found she's not bad looking but i heard she was raised outside her
17:21manners might be a bit lacking diane don't talk nonsense and you are i'm your aunt diane
17:28oh was that comment a welcome gift pretty rude
17:33my miss vivian has a sharp tongue
17:38she's never been talked to like that before
17:42miss vivian has a sharp tongue i heard your adoptive parents are doing well
17:45now that you're back with the ashfords shouldn't you help out a relative
17:48my son's starting a business he needs a little startup capital not much one million dollars
17:53how much just one million your parents have a big business your adoptive parents are rich too
17:58we're all family did she always borrow like this what do you mean borrow we're family talking about
18:03money hurts feelings not talking about money is what hurts money what do you mean what do you mean
18:10i mean if you want to borrow sign a contract first market rate interest collateral on the table
18:15miss a payment we litigate if that's too much trouble you can just not borrow i'm your elder
18:21being an elder isn't a free pass if you really need money go to a bank if the bank won't
18:25lend it
18:25means your credit's bad if the ashfields lent it means the ashfields used to be clueless
18:28sis are you just gonna watch her humiliate me
18:38diane vivian's right the money you borrowed before it's time you paid it back
18:43what five million total i had the accountants organized the records if you don't pay we'll
18:47handle it for the contract are you insane
18:53aunt diane family is family accounts are accounts keep it clean yeah don't treat relatives like atms
18:58i looked at them feeling a little mixed oh no the east coast boundary thing is spreading
19:04vivian mom used to think that family should just endure but later i realized the more i endured the
19:08more people took it for granted better late than never what about you are you still willing to
19:15accept me as your mom
19:20mrs ashford family isn't a contract it doesn't take effect the day you sign
19:25but there can be a trial period good performance during the trial and you can become permanent
19:36dad how did the company end up like this
19:40someone's behind this not just someone it's an inside job how do you know these three contracts
19:45are overpriced delivery timelines are off the receiving accounts all trace legal rep is connected
19:49to mrs davis nephew mrs davis a few days ago she even told me vivian would eventually ruin the
19:53ashford's she's got it backwards she's the pest eating the ashford's i'm here to do pest control
19:56i'll call the police right now wait just calling the police is boring there's someone behind the pest
20:02who else
20:05vivian why are you looking at me i really didn't not you but someone used you
20:11get the contract details take photos don't worry they trust you the family's fighting over
20:16succession the company won't last
20:20she used my name yeah you used to play the victim so much everyone thought you were suffering
20:24so she used your name to sell a sob story very credible hold it in
20:33lily's improved a lot thanks brother
20:37now we have two options one call the police and go legal two stabilize the clients first and fish
20:42out diane and the competitor behind her you have a plan
20:48i do but i charge charge you have to charge even siblings settle accounts clearly
20:55if vivian doesn't take a loss the ashfields might be saved
21:00i looked at them and couldn't help laughing good you guys are teachable
21:06over the next three days i invited several of ashford group's key clients to greenwich not to a hotel or
21:10a
21:10conference room to my adoptive mom's private estate english garden magnolia blossoms along the paths
21:14food so refined every appetizer felt like it had michelin credentials the clients came to talk about
21:17pulling out after one meal half their attitude softened my adopted dad richard sat nearby drinking
21:20tea with a smile gentlemen ashford group does have management issues but the supply chain won't
21:22break because half of the upstream channels they currently use are on my side my adoptive dad winked
21:26at me i lowered my head and drank tea howard finally understood why my adoptive mom was so calm
21:29when she said she was the biggest creditor the carters didn't suddenly step into the ashford's business
21:33they'd been there all along the ashford's are a mess right now that real heiress no matter how sharp
21:39is still just a little girl yes sir
21:50aunt diana you can eat whatever you want but you can't steal contracts this game of yours time to settle
22:01up diane prescott was eventually indicted by a grand jury for embezzlement and corporate espionage
22:05mrs davis also had a case opened by the da for misappropriation and leaking commercial information
22:10after the ashford group's crisis was resolved howard apologized to me seriously for the first time
22:14that day he sat in the study the fireplace had gone out his back looked a little hunched vivian dad
22:20was
22:20wrong before i always thought bringing you back giving you money and a name was enough
22:26but i forgot those are the things you least need what i needed was for you to treat me like
22:31a
22:31daughter from day one not a problem to be placed somewhere
22:39vivian i'm sorry i used to think lily was fragile so i protected her first later i realized it's not
22:43that you weren't hurt you just didn't let the hurt control you vivian i'm sorry too i was scared
22:47you'd come back and take everything so i kept playing pitiful the later i realized you have is
22:51way more than what i was faking do you ashford's do bulk apologies did you get a remorse combo pack
22:57from some big box store after that the ashford's whole vibe changed sure let's talk interest in
23:07collateral first howard when executives gave vague answers in meetings don't waste time on emotional
23:11tug of wear give me numbers sebastian's first reaction wasn't anger it was recording say that
23:15again my sister's legal team is pretty free lately aren't you afraid the iris will take your trace
23:18she evolved from a fragile little flower into a boundary master take what my sister has her own
23:22house trust fund and lawyers she doesn't care about these little ashford for positions i'm all about
23:26sticking with my sister skip 20 years of detours i nearly spit out my coffee
