00:03:36every week has a name

00:03:38Vivian

00:03:38Mr. Prescott

00:03:41has acquired another prime location

00:03:43and it's five views

00:03:45about to Yartoncourt 8 Menon

00:03:46this is just Prescott's basic operation

00:06:45while I was waiting

00:06:47the investigation

00:06:48I ran into Julia

00:06:49during his so-called

00:06:50business trip

00:06:52there he was

00:06:55flirting with Vivian

00:06:56like the perfect

00:06:57devoted boyfriend

00:07:00look at how your husband's

00:07:01been betraying you

00:07:03the piece of trap

00:07:04truly thought of

00:07:04everything

00:07:05Prescott's real estate

00:07:06he holds 61% of the

00:07:08shares on the surface

00:07:08but actually controls

00:07:0978% through two

00:07:11high-profile companies

00:07:12in the Cayman Islands

00:07:12the legal representative

00:07:13is his cousin Derek

00:07:14for three years

00:07:15Julian has been

00:07:16laundering company money

00:07:17through sham projects

00:07:18and stashing it in

00:07:19secret accounts

00:07:2015 million dollars

00:07:21six hidden accounts

00:07:22four under his own name

00:07:24and two under Vivian's

00:07:25what about the properties

00:07:26on top of the villa

00:07:27you're living in

00:07:27he owns three other

00:07:28properties under his name

00:07:29all of which he

00:07:30mortgaged last year

00:07:31and the money

00:07:31has completely vanished

00:07:32then there's Vivian

00:07:33besides her villa

00:07:33at Beverly Hills

00:07:34she holds the deeds

00:07:35to two commercial shops

00:07:36both were Prescott's

00:07:37real estate project

00:07:38bought at an insider discount

00:07:40their market value

00:07:41is over 4 million dollars

00:07:43but he only shelled out

00:07:451.1 million

00:07:46so while I spent

00:07:4710 years being his wife

00:07:50Julian secretly moved

00:07:51at least 30 million dollars

00:07:53out of reach

00:08:07a divorce agreement

00:08:08so he could get rid of you

00:08:11the terms were insulting

00:08:13the wife would leave

00:08:16in exchange

00:08:17the husband

00:14:43did something to you didn't he

00:14:45you might have walked away

00:14:46from 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

00:14:55he would be absolutely nothing

00:14:59Grandpa

00:15:00don't waste your anger

00:15:08you were born to conquer

00:15:09not 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

00:15:27a birthday gala this magnificent

00:15:29naturally demands

00:15:30the most high-end attire

00:15:31will to match

00:15:49while I go pick up a guest

00:15:52is that the special guest

00:15:53your mother told me about?

00:15:56what's her name?

00:16:01Vivian

00:16:03don'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

00:16:08so 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

00:16:36Julian's equity stare transfer agreement

00:16:38must be signed by 3 p.m. this afternoon

00:16:41that is to say

00:16:41he plans to take Vivian Dridges

00:16:43to 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

00:16:50the 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

00:17:00not 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

00:17:35and after all these years

00:17:36she still can't even give my son a child

00:17:39I have no idea

00:17:40why Julian insisted on marrying her

00:17:42honestly

00:17:43she'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

00:18:09I'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

00:18:24but actually controls 78% through two high-profile companies in the Cayman Islands

00:18:29the legal representative is his cousin Derek

00:18:31go ahead

00:18:33laugh while you still can

00:18:34once everyone is here

00:18:36I'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

00:18:47you 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

00:19:01the 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

00:19:22happy 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?

00:19:38what?

00:19:39I'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

00:19:58now this is a scandal worth watching

00:20:07not yet

00:20:09let them dig their own grave a little deep

00:20:14thank you everyone

00:20:15for 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

00:20:26and 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

00:20:49Vivian come stand beside me we'll cut the cake together

00:20:53at 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

00:21:03how 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

00:21:16they're humiliating her in front of the entire room

00:21:20if that were me

00:21:21this table would already be on the floor

00:21:23Nicole

00:21:23enough

00:21:24you really thought of everything

00:21:26first

00:21:27you parade Vivian around at the gala

00:21:29and let everyone know she's replacing me

00:21:30then

00:21:31once your precious son is born

00:21:33you transfer the shares into her hands

00:21:35and toss me a divorce agreement like I'm disposable

00:21:37Sophie

00:21:38don'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

00:21:45you're illegally holding 17% of Julian's shares through two offshore companies

00:21:50if the IRS catches wind of it

00:21:52you will

00:21:54Sophie

00:21:55I don't know anything about that

00:21:56I swear

00:21:57I have the registration numbers for both Khaven Onations and Julie International

00:22:01do you still want me to continue?

00:22:04Sophie

00:22:53I'm Sophie

00:22:54Julian's wife

00:22:55but that title is about to become ex-wife

00:22:58Sophie

00:22:59I 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

00:23:08enough

00:23:10don't embarrass her

00:23:12a guest?

00:23:13Julian

00:23:17Vivian

00:23:17former staff of Prescott Development Group

00:23:20lives in Beverly Hills area

00:23:22drives a white Porsche Cayenne

00:23:24Julian

00:23:25should I go on?

00:23:26or is that enough for you?

00:23:27you've been looking into people around me?

00:23:32Secrets only stay buried when there's nothing to uncover

00:23:35what happened Julian?

00:23:37are you scared of what I found?

00:23:38you

00:23:39Sophie

00:23:43and I will not let you ruin it

00:23:45get out

00:23:47Margaret

00:23:48I'm perfectly sane

00:23:49in fact after ten years

00:23:50I've never been more clear headed

00:23:52it's time we settled a few accounts

00:23:54she finally stopped taking it quietly

00:23:56Margaret 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

00:24:08then look like 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

00:24:17no 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

00:24:24which makes you the one who has actually contributed something to this family

00:24:29Sophie

00:24:29you couldn't give my son a son after ten years

00:24:31so he found a woman who could

00:24:33what exactly is wrong with that?

00:24:35unless you can give this family a son yourself

00:24:37you have nothing to say

00:24:39mom stop

00:24:40this isn't the time to show our hand

00:24:41we still have things to put in place

00:24:44Sophie

00:24:45Vivian 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

00:24:50just go home and I'll talk you through everything later

00:24:53that's right

00:24:54stop slandering my son

00:24:55Julian would never do something like that

00:24:58slandering him?

00:25:06this pre-nano record is from Vivian's appointment three months ago

00:25:10look at the section the baby's father

00:25:12Julian'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

00:25:39should I assume you took the photo for her boyfriend

00:25:42and wrote the love note for him too?

00:25:44this is unbelievable

00:25:45the Prescott's 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

00:25:57registered in Vivian's name

00:25:59and these commercial units

00:26:01all of them

00:26:03for three years Julian transferred $30,000 to Vivian every month

00:26:08always on the 15th

00:26:0936 transfers

00:26:10he never missed a single one

00:26:12seriously?

00:26:14he spent that much money on his mistress?

00:26:17come on

00:26:18do you really think a young woman would have his baby?

00:26:21would you?

00:26:22Sophie

00:26:23you can't force someone to love you

00:26:24Julian 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

00:26:32no 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

00:26:40after 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

00:26:49and I'll explain everything

00:26:52an explanation?

00:26:53after you transfer every share you can hide

00:26:56hand me the divorce papers

00:26:57and throw me $250,000 to disappear?

00:27:01is that when you plan to explain everything?

00:27:03you never stopped humiliating me

00:27:05for not giving this family a child

00:27:06so congratulations Margaret

00:27:09Vivian is seven months pregnant

00:27:12in two months

00:27:13you'll finally be holding the grandson

00:27:15you wanted so badly

00:27:16so what if he did?

00:27:18you've been in our family for 10 years

00:27:20and 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

00:27:41your mother has been persistently claiming throughout these years

00:27:44that I'm unable to have children

00:27:46how come you don't just make her stop talking?

00:27:48take a good look

00:27:50eight years ago

00:27:51doctor told us Julian had low sperm matility

00:27:55and needed to work on his health

00:27:56Julian told me to be patient

00:27:58he 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

00:28:06he went and had a child with someone else

00:28:10honestly

00:28:10I'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

00:28:19I'm done

00:28:19I wasted ten years loving you and that love is gone

00:28:22why on earth should I do you any favors now?

00:28:25Sophie

00:28:25no matter what Julian did

00:28:27the two of you shared a marriage

00:28:28you could have handled this privately

00:28:31did 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

00:28:39we can't afford to get involved

00:28:40Sophie came here to destroy every last one of us

00:28:42she knows everything we did

00:28:46is that what you want Sophie?

00:28:48to humiliate me in front of everyone

00:28:50and destroy everything I built?

00:28:52I'm not the one ruining you Julian

00:28:53you did that all on your own

00:28:55I'm just making sure everyone can see what you've done

00:28:59Sophie!

00:29:00you 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

00:29:14embezzling 30 million in assets

00:29:15and 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

00:29:23owes 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?

00:29:31I am your mother-in-law

00:29:32does that mean nothing to you?

00:29:34not anymore

00:29:35Sophie, what is it going to take for you to stop?

00:29:38my 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

00:29:51and a reassessment of the shares in Prescott Development Group

00:29:56based on each person's actual contribution

00:29:59I don't agree

00:30:00those assets belong to me and my son

00:30:03no one is touching them

00:30:04you're delusional Sophie

00:30:06I built Prescott Development Group

00:30:08from the ground up with my own two hands

00:30:10you didn't contribute a single thing to my success

00:30:13you built it yourself?

00:30:15then 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?

00:30:29who pulled the strings to land your very first major client?

00:30:33Julian, 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

00:30:41your 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

00:30:49how impressive

00:30:50classic

00:30:50she helped him build everything and the second he made it

00:30:53he traded her in for someone younger

00:30:55what a bastard

00:30:57if 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

00:31:17get me to the hospital now

00:31:19the baby

00:31:19you can't let anything happen to the baby

00:31:24what the hell are you waiting for?

00:31:25call an ambulance

00:31:26if anything happens to my son Sophie

00:31:28I swear I'll make you pay

00:31:29fine

00:31:30but it looks like today's reckoning will have to end here

00:31:34don't worry Julian

00:31:35I'll collect the rest of what you owe me another day

00:31:39everyone, my apologies for interrupting such a lovely celebration

00:32:13I'm not any better or stronger than I was

00:32:18and the illusion has finally shattered

00:32:21that's true

00:32:23by the way, I'm submitting the divorce filing tomorrow morning

00:32:25once Julian receives it

00:32:27he'll send someone to push for a settlement

00:32:30a settlement?

00:32:31that depends on what he's prepared to put on the table

00:32:56Sophie, I swear I knew nothing about the details

00:32:58Julian told me to act as the nominee director

00:33:01I only did what he asked

00:33:03save that explanation for the IRS

00:33:05they can decide whether you knew what you were doing

00:33:08Sophie, I'm begging you

00:33:09please don't involve Derek

00:33:11Nicole, that's a first

00:33:12after all these years you finally managed to ask me for something

00:33:16without sneering

00:33:17I was wrong Sophie, I admit it

00:33:20please show Derek some mercy

00:33:22Sophie, I never should have helped Julian deceive you

00:33:24I know I was wrong

00:34:29he used his wife to build Prescott Development Group

00:34:32and dumped her the second he was done with her

00:34:33she was nothing to him or even less

00:34:40we've already agreed

00:35:04Julian is finished

00:35:05tell me the truth

00:35:06did you plant someone to make sure it went viral?

00:35:09I didn't need to do a thing

00:35:10the room was full of vultures dying from a scandal

00:35:14particularly Margaret's old friends

00:35:15they happily did all my dirty work for me

00:35:20Sophie

00:35:20don't buy Vivian's act

00:35:22she played the meek lamb

00:35:23but she was too calm under pressure

00:35:24she's no victim

00:35:25she's trouble

00:35:26good

00:35:27I was hoping she'd put up a fight

00:35:29otherwise

00:35:29where's the fun?

00:35:31come on

00:35:31drink with me

00:35:41my baby

00:35:43where is he?

00:35:45he's fine

00:35:46mom's watching over him right now

00:35:48you promised Sophie wouldn't discover a thing

00:35:50now she knows about the entire plan

00:35:52how are you gonna fix this?

00:35:54that vindictive bitch

00:35:56you're the gala scandal in public

00:35:58she's trying to destroy me out of spite

00:36:01I couldn't care less about Sophie

00:36:03your money, your company, everything you own must go to my son

00:36:07don't worry

00:36:09I still have everything under control

00:36:12Mr. Prescott

00:36:13why did you come all the way here?

00:36:19get some rest

00:36:20get some rest

00:36:21I'll be right outside

00:36:26your wife has officially filed for divorce

00:36:28the petition is already with the court

00:36:31she actually had the nerve to file

00:36:34does Sophie seriously think I'm gonna back down?

00:36:36the evidence is damaging

00:36:38she can prove the affair

00:36:40the asset transfers

00:36:41and potential tax violations

00:36:42the facts are difficult to dispute

00:36:45and from what I've heard

00:36:46she's still holding back additional evidence

00:36:51then what the hell am I supposed to do?

00:36:55my advice is to settle

00:36:57the more public this becomes

00:36:58the worse it will be for you

00:37:08slowly Sophie

00:37:10Martha, bring her the honey lemonade

00:37:12she needs to sober up a little

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. Whitward

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

00:38:04have I ever seen you cry that hard

00:38:05you clung to Mr. Whitman

00:38:08apologized over and over

00:38:09and promised you'd be the best granddaughter

00:38:11in the world from now on

00:38:13then 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

00:39:41I'll be waiting for you

00:39:42at the office this afternoon

00:39:57I'm not gonna waste another second bleeding over it

00:39:58I can't change the past

00:39:59but I'm not gonna waste another second bleeding over it

00:40:11done with this too

00:40:12done with this too

00:40:24¡Sophie! ¿Qué estás haciendo?

00:40:26¿Has tu consciencia rota tan profundo que te ha blindado?

00:40:28Bien.

00:40:29Open tus ojos y veloj esto.

00:40:44¿Qué es lo que te ha visto?

00:40:47¿Qué es lo que te ha visto?

00:40:47Si te ha enseñado cualquier gracia,

00:40:49tú y tu familia me dejaría con nada.

00:40:51No, ni siquiera los scraps.

00:40:53¿Quieres hablar, Julián?

00:40:54Estoy escuchando.

00:40:55Say lo que te quiero decir,

00:40:56así que podemos hacer esto.

00:40:57Bien.

00:40:58¿Cuánto para qué?

00:41:01¿Cuánto para qué?

00:41:03¡Como, Sophie!

00:41:04Todo el espectáculo es sobre dinero.

00:41:06¿Cuánto quieres detrás de la ley?

00:41:07¿1.5 millones?

00:41:09No, ni siquiera.

00:41:11No, ni siquiera.

00:41:12$3,000,000.

00:41:13Es más que suficiente, ¿no?

00:41:15¿Cuándo será suficiente, Sophie?

00:41:16Keep pushing así,

00:41:17y tú vas a choc.

00:41:19No te preocupes, Julián.

00:41:21Mi apetite nunca ha sido mejor.

00:41:22$4,000,000.

00:41:24Sophie,

00:41:25este es mi final offer.

00:41:26Think it through for yourself.

00:41:28You're a housewife

00:41:29con no trabajo

00:41:30y no income.

00:41:31¿Sabes lo que lo que es lo que es?

00:41:33¿Puedes tener la leyenda?

00:41:35¿Puedes tener la leyenda?

00:41:35I can afford it.

00:41:39You've got a lot of confidence

00:41:40for someone relying on

00:41:41one small-time lawyer.

00:41:42Prescott Development Group

00:41:43has an entire team

00:41:44of senior attorneys on retainer.

00:41:46Do you seriously think

00:41:47your friend stands a chance

00:41:48against 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 Graven

00:41:58about that.

00:41:59Your star attorney

00:42:00faced Rachel

00:42:01in three cases last year,

00:42:03and she beat him

00:42:04every single time.

00:42:06Mr. Prescott,

00:42:07your wife

00:42:07has a 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,

00:42:23you have nothing.

00:42:24No shares in Prescott

00:42:25Development Group,

00:42:25no name on the deed,

00:42:27nothing.

00:42:27I'm offering you a 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 for 10 years.

00:42:44Doesn't what we had

00:42:44count for anything?

00:42:45What do you gain

00:42:46by turning this into 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 when you went

00:42:56to pitch projects.

00:42:56Back when you were nobody,

00:42:57I was the one who stood beside you

00:42:59and helped you build everything

00:43:00from the ground up.

00:43:01And now you want to talk to me

00:43:02about what we had?

00:43:03Fine.

00:43:03Let's talk about what we had.

00:43:04Sitting in the Beverly Hills mansion

00:43:05you bought, Julian,

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,

00:43:107 months along.

00:43:11And what did you leave me

00:43:12after 10 years?

00:43:13A divorce agreement designed

00:43:14to strip me of everything

00:43:15and send me away

00:43:15with a pathetic $250,000 payoff.

00:43:20And what did you leave me

00:43:21after 10 years?

00:43:22A divorce agreement designed

00:43:23to strip me of everything

00:43:25and send me away

00:43:26with a pathetic $250,000 payoff.

00:43:33Wait.

00:43:34You weren't supposed to know

00:43:35about that agreement.

00:43:36Of course you haven't

00:43:37shown it to me yet.

00:43:38You were waiting for Vivian

00:43:39to give birth,

00:43:40move the shares into place

00:43:41and then throw the divorce papers

00:43:43in 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 all 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 every month

00:44:07because I wanted him

00:44:08to take good care of you

00:44:09on the road.

00:44:09I gave him holiday bonus.

00:44:11I helped pay for his

00:44:12daughter's education.

00:44:12When his wife was hospitalized,

00:44:14I covered the bills.

00:44:15And you?

00:44:16All you ever did

00:44:17was complain that I was

00:44:18wasting money.

00:44:22So this was your plan all along?

00:44:24You've been buying the loyalty

00:44:25of everyone around me

00:44:26behind my back.

00:44:27Fine.

00:44:28Let's call it buying loyalty.

00:44:30But even at that, Julian,

00:44:31you still can't compete with me.

00:44:32How dare you?

00:44:33All that rage only proves

00:44:34one thing, Julian.

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.

00:44:41Four million dollars

00:44:42and you can keep the villa.

00:44:43That has to be enough.

00:44:44You'll regret walking away

00:44:46from this offer.

00:44:48I'm not the one

00:44:49who'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.

00:44:57How the hell does she

00:44:57have the nerve?

00:45:07Sister.

00:45:09Sophie, thank you for coming.

00:45:11Hand them over.

00:45:13Sophie, this is all the information

00:45:14about those two offshore companies

00:45:16from Derek's computer.

00:45:17Passwords, accounts,

00:45:18transfer records,

00:45:18and scanned copies of the original

00:45:19nominee agreements are all here.

00:45:20Until I say this is over,

00:45:22Julian doesn't hear a word

00:45:23about any of it, understood?

00:45:24Of course.

00:45:24We won't tell him a word.

00:45:26That's enough.

00:45:27Go home.

00:45:29Sophie, I'm sorry.

00:45:31Before, I shouldn't have treated you like that.

00:45:34Your apology means nothing to me.

00:45:37I have somewhere to be.

00:45:39Bye.

00:45:51Grandpa, what's going on?

00:45:54Everyone, your attention please.

00:45:55Take a good look.

00:45:56This is my granddaughter Sophie.

00:45:57She is the future head of Whitmore Materials Group.

00:46:00Welcome back, Whitmore.

00:46:04Grandpa, I don't know what to say.

00:46:06Everything here will be yours.

00:46:08You deserve to be welcomed properly.

00:46:10Come on.

00:46:11Let's make your return official.

00:46:14Let's go.

00:46:18Here's an overview of our key clients

00:46:20from the past several years.

00:46:21Please review it.

00:46:23Maintain normal deliveries for every other client.

00:46:26Prescott Development Group is the exception.

00:46:28Its payments have been repeatedly delayed

00:46:30since last year,

00:46:31with one invoice now four months past due.

00:46:34That violates

00:46:35Wiltmore Materials Group's credit policy.

00:46:37But Prescott Development Group

00:46:39has been a stable client for years.

00:46:41Mr. Prescott has also assured us that

00:46:43Julian's promises don't matter.

00:46:45The contract does.

00:46:47Suspend deliveries to any client

00:46:48whose payments are more than 60 days overdue.

00:46:50Any objections?

00:46:52Mr. Wiltmore, would you like to weigh in?

00:46:55Follow Sophie's instructions.

00:46:57Her word carries the same authority as mine.

00:47:00I know Prescott Development Group's internal situation

00:47:03better than anyone in this room,

00:47:04so let me be clear.

00:47:06Julia betrayed me.

00:47:07He stole 10 years of my life.

00:47:08I am absolutely making him pay for it.

00:47:11But I haven't broken a single rule.

00:47:13Now does anyone still have a problem with my decision?

00:47:15We fully support the Lady Boss.

00:47:18We fully support the Lady Boss.

00:47:28You came in swinging.

00:47:29Your very first move put Prescott Development Group on the ropes.

00:47:33Damn, that was satisfying.

00:47:34I don't start wars, Rachel.

00:47:36But when someone comes for me, I finish them.

00:47:38Then I have a quick follow-up.

00:47:41Let's give Ms. Whitfield another chance to make Julian pay.

00:47:48You went through all of Derek's files already?

00:47:50Julian's real assets aren't the public $1 billion market value,

00:47:54but $170 million in actual disposable funds.

00:47:58Of this, at least $45 million went ashore,

00:48:01with $30 million under Vivian's name,

00:48:03while the rest sits in Prescott Development Group's company account.

00:48:08If we take this all the way to court,

00:48:09how much can I realistically recover?

00:48:11Marriage law dictates an equal split of joint assets,

00:48:14but his affair and asset transfers change things.

00:48:17Our lawyer confirms the court will favor you as the injured Barty.

00:48:20A conservative estimate puts your share at $60 to $75 million.

00:48:24What if we claw back everything he moved?

00:48:26If we recover everything Julian moved,

00:48:29you walk away with at least $90 million.

00:48:32$90 million? Not bad?

00:48:34I put $400,000 into his startup 10 years ago.

00:48:37The return on that investment is better than I expected.

00:48:40But it is not enough.

00:48:42What do you want?

00:48:44Prescott Development Group.

00:48:45You want to take the entire company away from Julian?

00:48:48I'm not taking it from him.

00:48:49I am taking it back.

00:48:52Sophie, $90 million is already a substantial recovery.

00:48:55Going after the entire company is another matter.

00:48:57Prescott Development Group wouldn't even exist

00:48:59without my money and my connections.

00:49:01I built his empire, and now I'm going to tear it down.

00:49:05Rachel, leave Julian with nothing.

00:49:07Put him right back to where he was 10 years ago,

00:49:09empty-handed and irrelevant.

00:49:11That is his punishment.

00:49:19It's already been three days.

00:49:20Why the hell hasn't Sophie responded yet?

00:49:24She's made up her mind.

00:49:26She's going to fight this lawsuit to the bitter end.

00:49:29That shameless bitch.

00:49:30You offered her a generous settlement,

00:49:32and she still has the nerve to refuse it.

00:49:34Let her keep feeding her greed.

00:49:35Sooner or saner, she's going to choke on it.

00:49:37I'll give her some time to calm down.

00:49:39Then I'll sit down with her and try to negotiate again.

00:49:42Julian, I don't care what it takes.

00:49:44Four million dollars is the most you are giving her.

00:49:46Not one cent more.

00:49:46Every dollar beyond that belongs to my son.

00:49:49Julian, let her sue.

00:49:51She has no family behind her and no resources of her own.

00:49:53Prescott Development Group has 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 the situation,

00:50:00and they advised against going to war with her right now.

00:50:03Then what the hell am I supposed to think?

00:50:05You and your lawyers are 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 this person, Julian.

00:50:15I refuse to stay trapped in the life I was born into,

00:50:16done working myself to the bone and counting petties just to survive.

00:50:19So, I studied you.

00:50:20I learned exactly what you liked,

00:50:22and I molded myself into the perfect woman for you.

00:50:24So the sweet, understanding woman I knew never existed.

00:50:27Now that you have my son, you 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 and the life that come with you too.

00:50:35Why should those things be 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 to get used to everything.

00:50:43You can regret me all you want, Julian.

00:50:44It changes nothing.

00:50:45Even if you never put a ring on my finger,

00:50:47you still have a legal obligation to your son.

00:50:49He has inheritance rights,

00:50:50and you cannot cut him out of your life or your estate.

00:50:52The law will make sure of that.

00:50:53Your relationship is your own business,

00:50:54but this child stays with us.

00:50:56He is the heir to 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 account and mobility that low,

00:51:04your chances of ever having another child are zero.

00:51:07You cornered me.

00:51:08Left me with absolutely nothing.

00:51:10This was your plan all along, wasn't it?

00:51:11I can't believe this is who you actually are.

00:51:15Change your mind if you want to.

00:51:17We don't have to get married.

00:51:18But I'll make sure you never lay eyes on your child again.

00:51:21No.

00:51:22You cannot let that happen.

00:51:23This is my grandson.

00:51:25Julian, think carefully.

00:51:26Vivian is only asking for reassurance of what she wants.

00:51:30Alright.

00:51:32When you get out of the hospital, we will make it legal.

00:51:34Does that put your mind at ease?

00:51:35Transfer 40% of Prescott Development Group into my name.

00:51:38Once the shares are mine, I will sign the marriage license.

00:51:41Vivian, you...

00:51:42I have no interest in managing the company.

00:51:44You can remain in charge, but I will have the shares.

00:51:47That equity stape is the only real protection my son and I have.

00:51:50Our son is going to inherit everything I have.

00:51:53Why is that not enough?

00:51:54Why would I trust a promise like that?

00:51:56You cheated on Sophie and planned to throw her away.

00:51:59Once our son is older, you could do the same to me and fight me for custody.

00:52:03I have no income, and you have entire legal team.

00:52:06Without shares in my name, I could lose everything.

00:52:09You had this figured out from the beginning, did you?

00:52:11You abandoned Sophie for me, and you could abandon me for another woman.

00:52:14I'm not as foolish and infationate as she is.

00:52:15What I want is long-term security, and that's an equity stake.

00:52:18Don't forget, Julian, my son is the only heir you'll ever have.

00:52:20He's the only one left to carry on your legacy.

00:52:22That makes me highly valuable to you, so think very carefully.

00:52:24You closed off every exit before I even knew I was trapped.

00:52:27Do I have any choice left?

00:52:29Vivian, I underestimated you completely.

00:52:31You chose this, Julian, and you can't undo regret.

00:52:34I'm taking over now.

00:52:35Your mother and our son will be taken care of.

00:52:37That's one thing you'll never have to worry about.

00:52:39I heard you get some rest. I have a meeting to attend at the company.

00:52:43You have three days to put the share transfer appointment in front of me.

00:52:47Until those shares are secured, I 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, Whitmore Materials Group has issued a formal notice to us.

00:53:06What does it say?

00:53:07They are citing repeated breaches of our contractual payment terms.

00:53:10In fact, immediately, Whitmore Materials Group is cutting off all building materials supplies to every project we have under construction

00:53:16until we settle the outstanding balances of the day.

00:53:18What the hell did you just say? You're cutting off materials to every active project?

00:53:22Mr. Prescott, we need a solution.

00:53:25We have three active construction projects, including Sierra Towers, which is 70% pre-sold.

00:53:30If our materials are cut off, we will miss our two month delivery deadline.

00:53:34Sierra Towers alone faces a conservative 11 million damn damages.

00:53:38And that doesn't even count the fallout for the other two projects.

00:53:41We've always had a great partnership with Whitmore Materials Group.

00:53:45Even when our payments were delayed, they prioritized our supplies.

00:53:50Why would they suddenly cut 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 as a favorite and as a Whitmer.

00:54:06And, um, now she's enforcing the contract exactly.

00:54:12So...

00:54:12Miss Whitford?

00:54:13There isn't one in senior management.

00:54:15The only Whitmore running Whitmore Materials Group is 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, a client relations manager at Whitmore Materials Group.

00:54:32Wait.

00:54:34Sophie did connect us to Whitmore Materials Group.

00:54:36But all she did was make an introduction.

00:54:38I'm the one who spent years maintaining that relationship.

00:54:41She spent all this time at home.

00:54:42How the hell could she have enough power at Whitford to cut me off overnight?

00:54:46Mr. Prescott?

00:55:04Sophie, what exactly did you do?

00:55:06Nothing much.

00:55:07Your payments are overdue, so I simply told Whitmerry Materials Group to stop supplying your construction materials.

00:55:12You think you can take revenge on me like this?

00:55:15Listen to me, Sophie.

00:55:17You are not going to win.

00:55:20Let's see which one of us is still standing when this is over.

00:55:23What the hell is your connection to Whitmore Materials Group?

00:55:26I spent ten years building that relationship.

00:55:29How did you cut me off just like that?

00:55:31Because my surname is Whitmore.

00:55:35Whitmore.

00:55:39Whitmore, as in the family that owns Whitmore Materials Group.

00:55:43Whitmore, as in Henry Whitmore, the chairman himself.

00:55:48You're Henry Whitmore's granddaughter?

00:55:50The one who left her family because of a man?

00:56:01Why is he here?

00:56:02Who knows?

00:56:03Now that our Mrs. Whitmore is back on top, he probably came crawling over here to beg her to spare

00:56:08him.

00:56:10I need to see Sophie.

00:56:13Do you have an appointment?

00:56:16No.

00:56:17Tell her I won't leave this palace until she agrees to see you.

00:56:22Ms. Whitman, Julia would like to see you.

00:56:24He says he won't leave unless you meet with him.

00:56:27Of course.

00:56:28Understood.

00:56:30Come with me.

00:56:41Mrs. Whitmore, Mr. Prescott has arrived.

00:56:43You may go now.

00:57:04Have a seat.

00:57:10You're really different from the woman you used to be.

00:57:13Whatever you came here to say, say it now. I have work to do.

00:57:18Sophie, you're the heir to Whitmore Materials Group. How could you keep something this important for me?

00:57:22I went against my grandfather for you. I gave up my family for you. And what did I get in

00:57:26return? I nearly got thrown out of my own home. The more I think about it, the more pathetic this

00:57:31whole thing feels.

00:57:32I was wrong. I handle it poorly, fine. But we built a life together. Are you truly prepared to leave

00:57:39me with absolutely nothing?

00:57:40Your payment deadline has passed. I'm doing exactly what the contract allows me to do.

00:57:45It was a temporary cash flow problem. Every real estate company is a few days late paying an invoice sometimes.

00:57:50That's how this industry works and you know it.

00:57:53I know. But I can give other real estate companies a chance. You don't get one.

00:58:03If I gave you a chance after everything you've done, I'd feel sick about it for the rest of my

00:58:06life.

00:58:10Julian, I'm taking over Prescott Development Group for good. Don't look to other suppliers for help either. I've convinced them

00:58:15all to follow Whitmore's lead and demand payment before delivery.

00:58:17Sophie! You're a cold-blooded, vicious woman of everything we've shared over the years!

00:58:20Right? If I weren't a bit ruthless, how could I possibly outwit you who's been pretending for 10 years?

00:58:25Unless you have anything else, get the hell out. My time is worth too much to waste on you.

00:58:36Sophie, are you really gonna take this all the way?

00:58:39See yourself out.

00:58:43How stupid would I have to be to give you another chance to cause trouble?

00:58:51Yeah?

00:58:52Julian, you haven't come to the hospital to see the baby in two days. We're being discharged today. Come pick

00:58:56us up.

00:58:57Fine, I know.

00:59:02Julian, I saw the news. Is Sophie really the Whitmore? Mrs. Whitmore? The only heir to Whitmore Materials Group? Is

00:59:09it true?

00:59:11It's true.

00:59:13What is it? Regret? Are you finally realizing what you cost your precious son? He had a golden ticket and

00:59:21he completely threw it away.

00:59:25That's not...

00:59:26That's fine.

00:59:27You can bring her back and make her your precious daughter-in-law again. I'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. I was just curious. I was only asking.

00:59:37Enough. Let's go home first.

00:59:44Julian, your three days are up. Where is the share transfer agreement?

00:59:48The company is about to go under and you're still thinking about shares?

00:59:51What do you mean?

00:59:53You were both so focused on Sophie going back to Whitmore Materials Group that you never stopped to think she

00:59:58might retaliate.

00:59:59Forty percent of our construction materials come from Whitmore. Now she's aggressively chasing every overdue payment.

01:00:04Whitmore Materials Group. Re-Whitmore is not the only building materials supplier in the...

01:00:08Prescott Development Group. She convinced every supplier to demand payment up front and all our cash is tied up in

01:00:12the project.

01:00:12If we can't survive this crisis, Prescott Development Group goes bankrupt. You want stock in a higher social lateral? Dream

01:00:17on!

01:00:17Is it really that serious?

01:00:19If we're on my way to the hospital, the bank called demanding our four million dollars loan repayment or they'll

01:00:24freeze our assets.

01:00:25Plus, the divorce hits court the day after tomorrow. If we lose, she gets at least 30% of everything.

01:00:32Then go beg her, Julian. You were her husband. She used to hang on your every word. She loved you

01:00:38enough to give up everything for you. She might still li-

01:00:41Begging will only give Sophie the chance to humiliate him. A wounded woman can be crueler than any man. Stop

01:00:46hoping she'll suddenly show mercy. She won't.

01:00:50I seriously underestimated just how calculating you are.

01:00:53I know you regret starting this with me. I know you're already sick of me, but I don't care. Sleep

01:00:57with as many women as you want after this. It makes no difference to me.

01:01:00You know, having my son gives you all the leverage you need, and he'll be my only son. That's your

01:01:03whole plan, isn't it?

01:01:04Exactly. So even if you build another home with someone else and never come back here again, it doesn't matter

01:01:08to me.

01:01:10Turns out you're the coldest one of us all.

01:01:12Can love feed me? Can I cash it out and spend it? Can it secure the rest of my life?

01:01:15Come on. You're not some naive little boy who still thinks feelings are worth anything.

01:01:18You. Go kneel in front of Sophie and beg her where everyone can see you.

01:01:22The wealthier people are, the more they care about their reputation. So use public pressure and guilt against her.

01:01:26I refuse to believe she'll remain unmoved.

01:01:28How can you be so cruel? Vivian, when Sophie was here, she always treated my mother with respect, but you

01:01:32-

01:01:32Stop bringing her up around me. You're the one who plotted to kick her out. Your little plan just blew

01:01:37up in your face and now you're stuck with no way forward and no way back.

01:01:41None of this would have happened if you hadn't seduced me!

01:01:43Oh, stop blaming me for your own choices. I didn't drag you into bed, Julian. You walked there yourself. Now

01:01:49you're looking at your son and pretending you're some tragic victim? Give me a break. You cheated on your wife

01:01:54and you got played. Deal with it.

01:01:59Go on, hit me! Go ahead, Julian. Hit me, I dare you! Lay one finger on me and I'll take

01:02:04our son and disappear. You'll never see him again. If you don't believe me, try it. Julian.

01:02:10Julian, let it go. Just let it go. But mom-

01:02:15Alright, I'm going to check on my grandson. You two need to stop fighting.

01:02:22Cut the dutiful son routine, Julian. Everyone in this room knows you're a complete frog.

01:02:28Vivian, how did you become like this?

01:02:30You know I'm impatient. Stop fighting among ourselves. If Sophie won't budge, fine. We go to court. We already hid

01:02:36most of our assets over the last few months anyway.

01:02:39Worst case scenario, she splits your remaining holdings.

01:02:42You make it sound so simple.

01:02:44What other choice do we have? If this keeps going, nobody wins.

01:02:47Let her get it out of her system. We lose some money, buy our way out of trouble and move

01:02:50on with our lives.

01:02:51Fine. That's the only move we have left. But I'll need the 30 million sitting in your private accounts to

01:02:55keep the business afloat.

01:02:56No way. That money is my safety net. Nobody gets to touch it.

01:03:00You selfish-

01:03:01You've got three active developments. Sell off the other two and focus everything on Sierra Towers. There. Problem solved.

01:03:09Whitmer Materials Group won't have you by the throat anymore.

01:03:15Please be seated. The court is now in session for the divorce proceedings of Sophie Whitmer and Julian Prescott.

01:03:22These are the complete records showing that Miss transferred his personal assets through two offshore companies registered in the Cayman

01:03:28Islands.

01:03:29Cayhaven Holdings and Lu Jing International.

01:03:31How could she know about this?

01:03:33Over a three-year period, he moved a total of $45 million. Of that, $30 million ended up under the

01:03:39name of a third party, Mrs. Vivian.

01:03:43You transferred assets? This puts you in a very bad position. Why didn't you tell me sooner?

01:03:48Gavin, you need to get me out of this. There has to be something you can do.

01:03:52What exactly do you expect me to do now?

01:03:56Counsel, order in the court.

01:03:59The plaintiff has shown sufficient evidence of massive asset transfers and ongoing risk. The application for property preservation is granted.

01:04:10To be continued...

01:04:13Sophie, tell me exactly how much you want. Name your price and let's end this.

01:04:19I told you already. I'm taking you all the way back to the life you had ten years ago.

01:04:24If you keep pushing me like this and Prescott Development Group collapses, you won't get any money either. We'll both

01:04:28lose everything.

01:04:28Even if I don't get a single cent, I will have my revenge. Besides, whether Prescott Development Group's elapses is

01:04:34entirely up to me.

01:04:35$7.5 million. I'll give you $7.5 million in the villa. Will that satisfy you?

01:04:39Not even close.

01:04:44$15 million. Sophie, $15 million. That has to be enough, right?

01:04:50Vivian cost you over $30 million. Yet you think you can get rid of me for half that?

01:04:55You seriously underestimate me if you think I'm someone you can just push around.

01:04:59Sophie, you've completely lost your mind. You're fucking crazy!

01:05:05How did she find out about the $30 million you transferred to me?

01:05:09You said those transfers were well hidden. You said there was no chance anything could go wrong.

01:05:13But she knows now.

01:05:14I already told you. That $30 million is my safety net. Even if you end up with nothing, I still

01:05:23need it to live on for the rest of my life. Nobody touches that money.

01:05:28Tell that to the judge. Go ahead.

01:05:33What do we do now?

01:05:37What choice do we have? We give Sophie whatever she wants.

01:05:41Right now, I only care about keeping Prescott Development Group alive.

01:05:45Even after I hand over half the shares, Derek still controls a block of stock for me. Add that to

01:05:50what I keep, and I'm still the largest shareholder.

01:05:52Prescott Development Group still answers to me. And once Sophie owns the second largest state, she won't be able to

01:05:58destroy the company without destroying her own investment.

01:06:00Fine. You can give her the shares. But you are not touching a single cent of my money.

01:06:06The shares aren't enough. I also have to give her money. I don't have enough cash.

01:06:09How is that my problem? I already told you. That $30 million is my safety net. It's mine.

01:06:16What did you just say?

01:06:20After everything that's happened, you still think you can walk away clean? You think this has enough to do with

01:06:26you? Keep dreaming.

01:06:29What are you doing? Let her go!

01:06:38Why can't the two of you talk this through calmly?

01:06:42Mom, stay out of this. Give me the money and I'll go reconcile with her right now.

01:06:46It's the only way to save the company and keep your lifestyle. If you don't, the court will seize everything

01:06:50anyway.

01:06:51But I...

01:06:52The company is my life. If you won't give me the money to save it, then today is the end

01:06:56for both of us.

01:06:57Okay. Okay. I'll transfer it. Just let go of me.

01:07:00Transfer the money to me right now.

01:07:04Done. It's set.

01:07:07I asked nicely before. Now, you don't get a choice.

01:07:13I'll give you half of the assets. I'll also give you half of the 61% state I currently hold.

01:07:19You have no objections. Sign the property settlement.

01:07:25Oh? Why are you being so cooperative this time?

01:07:29The Prescott Development Group can't afford to drag this out any longer. Is that the answer you wanted?

01:07:34But I'm still having fun, Julian. I'm nowhere near finished with you.

01:07:39Sophie, don't push this too far. I've already made the biggest concession I can.

01:07:43You're the one begging me for mercy. Are you sure that's the tone you want to use?

01:07:47You!

01:07:48Mrs. Wittner, even if the court issues a ruling, the outcome would be substantially the same.

01:07:53If Prescott Development Group goes bankrupt, none of this will have any value to you.

01:07:57Wouldn't you agree?

01:07:59The agreement checks out. Everything is clean.

01:08:03All right.

01:08:07Now you can lift the restrictions on Prescott Development Group, right?

01:08:10The divorce comes first. Once it's finalized, I'll lift the restrictions.

01:08:14After all, I'm now a major shareholder in Prescott Development Group 2. I have no interest in losing money.

01:08:19Deal.

01:08:26That's it? You're just letting him go?

01:08:29Not a chance. I meant what I said. I'm going to ruin him till he has nothing left.

01:08:37Uncle Charlie, I've thought it over. I'm ready to talk through the partnership now.

01:08:42Sophie, I've been waiting for your call for three days.

01:08:45Then I'll come over shortly, and we can catch up.

01:08:48Sounds good. I'll have the most delicious pastries waiting for you.

01:08:55This Uncle Charlie is?

01:08:56Charles Dawson.

01:08:57He's the powerhouse behind Libra Capital and a childhood friend of my father's.

01:09:01Two years ago, he threw Julian a financial inline in exchange for a 12% stake.

01:09:0612% plus the 17% Derek is holding on Julian's behalf, that makes 29%.

01:09:12And Julian has to give me at least half of the 61% stake under his name.

01:09:17Then your total stake will exceed 50%.

01:09:21Exactly.

01:09:22The outcome of this battle was decided from the very beginning.

01:09:26Julian simply had no idea.

01:09:28Holy shit! You're a fucking genius!

01:09:36I'm one of Prescott Development Group groups now.

01:09:39Set up a shareholders meeting. There is something important I need to announce.

01:09:46Let me introduce Sophie, the second largest shareholder in our company. She now holds a 30% stake. Please welcome

01:09:53her.

01:10:02I call for Julian's immediate removal as chairman and from the board.

01:10:07Sophie, are you out of your goddamn mind?

01:10:12Let's put it to a show of hands.

01:10:14Sophie, holding the same percentage of shares doesn't make you my equal.

01:10:18I built and ran Prescott Development Group for years.

01:10:21You can't just walk through the door and kick me out of my own company. You're delusional.

01:10:29Derek!

01:10:31What do you think you're doing?

01:10:33You're my cousin. You're only holding those shares on my behalf.

01:10:36How dare you betray me?

01:10:37Let's face it, Julian.

01:10:39This company only succeeded because of Sophie.

01:10:42I mean, Ms. Whitmer putting her in charge is the best thing that could happen to Prescott Development Group.

01:10:47I agree.

01:10:47Mr. Dawson, what exactly did Sophie offer you?

01:10:52I bought those shares because of Sophie, Mr. Prescott.

01:10:56Without her, I never would have believed in your company, let alone invested a single dime.

01:11:01You.

01:11:02Of course, business is business.

01:11:04The company's interests come before everything else.

01:11:07Your personal affairs have already seriously damaged its share price and reputation.

01:11:12As a shareholder, I have a responsibility to protect my investment.

01:11:22The vote carries.

01:11:24As of today, Prescott Development Group will officially become Wiltmore Development Group.

01:11:29You! You're destroying me!

01:11:31You're taking Prescott Development Group away! You're just stealing it!

01:11:36You're destroying me! You're taking Prescott Development Group away! You're just stealing it!

01:11:40It's already over, Julian.

01:11:41Prescott Development Group is gone tomorrow.

01:11:43I'm sending in a management team to restructure every single asset.

01:11:46I'm building a new company on your ashes.

01:11:48Planning to dilute my shares too?

01:11:50If you have an objection, keep it to yourself.

01:11:53Your opinion no longer matters here.

01:11:56Sophie, you win! You took everything!

01:11:58Prescott Development Group is yours now!

01:12:00In addition, Ms. Whitmore, regarding the shares currently under my name.

01:12:04Out of that 17%, 2% becomes yours.

01:12:07Transfer 5% to George for me. The rest comes directly to me.

01:12:10Thank you, Ms. Whitmore. Thank you so much.

01:12:11We're done here. Meeting adjourned.

01:12:16Julian, you're back. You're officially divorced now. We can finally be together and get married.

01:12:22Before she had the baby, this was exactly how she pretended to be innocent.

01:12:26What's wrong, sweetheart? Why are you looking at me like that?

01:12:33Honey, we need to give our child a complete family, don't we?

01:12:37Fine. We can get married. But understand this clearly.

01:12:40I'm doing it for my son, not for you.

01:12:42But you won't receive any shares.

01:12:44All of my assets will be premarital property.

01:12:47What? No! You have to give me half of the shares! You promised me!

01:12:51You still have the nerve to ask me for shares? Because of you, I was removed from the board.

01:12:55Prescott Development Group belongs to Sophie now.

01:12:57What did you say?

01:12:58Prescott Development Group no longer exists.

01:13:00Sophie renamed it Whitmore Development Group, and the board threw me out of my own company!

01:13:05How did this happen?

01:13:07That's all because of you.

01:13:08Prescott Development Group is gone, and at least half of my remaining shares will be diverted.

01:13:12You made this mess, Julian, so stop crying victim.

01:13:15You promised me shares, and I expect you to deliver!

01:13:18Even if it's 5% out of the 10 you have left.

01:13:20Try to cheat me, and I will take our son so far away, you'll never see him again.

01:13:25Watch your legacy end 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.

01:13:41Mom, 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, yes 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!

01:14:14Vivian, you like scheming so much, but from now on don't even think about seeing my son again.

01:14:19I won't be threatened by you anymore.

01:14:23No! Come back!

01:14:25You can't take him from me!

01:14:27Give me my child!

01:14:30If you walk away with my son, I swear I'll throw myself off this roof!

01:14:35Vivian, please calm down.

01:14:36Whatever you want, we can discuss it.

01:14:38Julian, give me back my child and give me the shares.

01:14:41You promised me both!

01:14:43Go ahead and jump if you want.

01:14:44You are never getting my son back.

01:14:46Forget it.

01:14:48Julian, don't say that.

01:14:49Mom, she's only trying to scare us.

01:14:50Someone calculating as she is would never jump.

01:14:52Let's go.

01:14:53Julian, stop!

01:15:03Don't just stand there!

01:15:04Call 911!

01:15:09Grandpa, I put together the integration plan for Whitmore Materials Group and Prescott Development Group.

01:15:14Take a look when you have a minute.

01:15:16You don't need my approval for things like this anymore.

01:15:18I trust your judgment.

01:15:20Grandpa...

01:15:21You lost your parents so young, and I'm not going to be around forever.

01:15:25You're the last of the Whitmans.

01:15:26This legacy was always meant for you.

01:15:29I promise, Grandpa, I won't disappoint you.

01:15:32I believe Whitmore Materials Group will do even better for your leadership.

01:15:44Doctor, how is she?

01:15:46The patient's spine is severely damaged.

01:15:48Although her life has been saved, but she may be paralyzed for 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?

01:16:05It's karma.

01:16:06This is our punishment.

01:16:09Yeah, this is our punishment.

01:16:11Every bit of it.

01:16:23Mom.

01:16:35I will give you the whole world.

01:16:42What have I done?

01:16:44She gave me everything, and I destroyed it with my own hands.

01:16:52I was wrong.

01:16:53God, I was so wrong.

01:16:57Julian.

01:17:02I can't undo any of it.

01:17:04I can never get her back.

01:17:06Never again.

01:17:11Fell off the rooftop?

01:17:12Is she okay?

01:17:13The spine was injured, and the doctor said it's very likely she'll be paralyzed for life, with little chance of

01:17:18recovery.

01:17:19Call it karma.

01:17:20She wanted to be the mistress and destroy a family, so she had no one to blame but herself.

01:17:25Alright, that's enough.

01:17:27Leave me alone for a moment.

01:17:27Of course, Miss Whitwear.

01:17:33Julian.

01:17:38Julian.

01:17:39Shouldn't you be at the hospital with your little sweetheart?

01:17:41Why are you here?

01:17:43Sophie, I know I have no right to ask anything of you after what I did.

01:17:47But there's one thing I need you to agree with.

01:17:50Go ahead.

01:17:52But I'm not promising I'll agree.

01:17:55Buy out all the shares I have left.

01:17:59What's your price?

01:18:01Four hundred thousand dollars.

01:18:02Four hundred thousand dollars.

01:18:06Julie, you're crazy!

01:18:08Thirty percent of the stock is enough to ensure you're worried for life to your life.

01:18:12How could you suffer just for my dollars?

01:18:14Vivian is still lying in the hospital and your kid needs your support.

01:18:17I said four hundred thousands.

01:18:20I gave you four hundred thousand dollars to get started ten years ago.

01:18:23Are you giving everything back because you finally want to make amends?

01:18:26Or are you taking the same four hundred thousand and trying again desperate to prove that your success was ever

01:18:31truly yours?

01:18:32Julian, don't do this.

01:18:33You're throwing everything away.

01:18:38Okay.

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.

01:18:51We'll talk about it when 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 have to take my child away?

01:19:00You're all a bunch of liars!

01:19:11Julian!

01:19:12You lying bastard!

01:19:14What are you screaming about?

01:19:15You can't move.

01:19:16How are you supposed to take care of a baby?

01:19:18I'm giving you my thirty percent.

01:19:20You promised me those shares, Julian!

01:19:21You are the reason I'm trapped in this bed!

01:19:23You owe me!

01:19:24The shares?

01:19:26They're gone.

01:19:29What?

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 stake was worth in the end?

01:19:37I don't care what you got for them!

01:19:38Just give me the money!

01:19:39I sold all of it for $400,000.

01:19:42$400,000?

01:19:44You gave away thirty percent of the company for $400,000?

01:19:48Julian, are you insane?

01:19:49How are our son and I supposed to live?

01:19:51Didn't you go to great lengths to marry me and become Mrs. Prescott?

01:19:54We'll get married after you're discharged from the hospital,

01:19:57and I'll let you be the legitimate Mrs. Prescott for the rest of your life.

01:20:00Right and wrong stopped mattering a long time ago.

01:20:05Relax, Vivian.

01:20:06I won't leave you just because you're paralyzed.

01:20:08I'll be by your side for the rest of your life.

01:20:10You wanted me so badly,

01:20:11now we can spend every remaining day destroying each other.

01:20:14No, I don't want to dare you anymore!

01:20:17Get away from me!

01:20:18I'd rather die than spend my life with you!

01:20:21Julian...

01:20:22Mom, Sophie gave me $400,000 ten years and made my success possible.

01:20:25I sold every share back to her for exactly $400,000.

01:20:29The public statement is out and the agreement has been notorized.

01:20:32There is no undoing it now.

01:20:34This is the debt I owe her.

01:20:36Maybe this is how it has to end.

01:20:38At least now you've finally repaid what you owed her.

01:20:40Sophie, again!

01:20:42Why does she get everything?

01:20:44Why are you all punishing me?

01:20:47Tell that bitch to give me my money back!

01:20:49Go ahead, keep screaming.

01:20:51You can't go anywhere.

01:20:53Once you wear yourself out, at least we'll get some peace and quiet.

01:20:57I rebuilt Prescott Development Group and got it running again.

01:21:00Sierra Towers was delivered right on schedule.

01:21:02Star Heaven Bay sold out on its very first day with $150 million in sale.

01:21:06Once Whitmore Materials Group and Prescott Development Group completed their integration,

01:21:11we controlled the entire supply chain from top to bottom.

01:21:15Our combined valuation soared past $2.25 billion.

01:21:21Where's Sophie? Make her come here and see me!

01:21:24Vivian, if you keep causing trouble, we'll bring you out.

01:21:27Exactly. After what you've done, you still have the nerve to come looking for Ms. Whitmore?

01:21:31Have you no shame?

01:21:33I lost the shares and the money!

01:21:35Why the hell should I care about shame?

01:21:37Get that bitch Sophie out here!

01:21:39What's going on here?

01:21:43You bitch! Give me back the money and the shares!

01:21:46They were supposed to be mine and my son's!

01:21:48I'm done!

01:21:58Are you done making a scene?

01:22:00Julian, that bitch called you here to throw me out, didn't she?

01:22:03I am not going anywhere! I would rather die right here than leave without my shares!

01:22:07Fine. If you're not leaving, neither am I. I'll sit right here for as long as you want to keep

01:22:10this up.

01:22:14Later, Julian took Vivian and left the city.

01:22:18I heard that when Vivian left, she cursed Julian, Margaret, and me.

01:22:24Years later, I heard from Derek that Julian and Vivian had been torturing each other painfully all along.

01:22:29By their forties, they looked like they were in sixties.

01:22:31Never that is this goodness he can of witty us anymore.

01:22:34Grandpa was getting older.

01:22:37Every day, I made time to be with him so he could enjoy the comfort of having his family close.

01:22:42He encouraged me to find someone suitable while I was still young.

01:22:46I declined, and he never brought it up again.

01:22:49Now, let's welcome our chairperson, Sophie Whitmore, to give a speech.

01:22:53Ms. Whitmore, you currently have three listed companies under your umbrella

01:22:56and rank fifth on the Forbes list of female business leaders.

01:22:59May I ask, what is the secret to your success?

01:23:02Choose the right path. Stay away from the wrong people. Never look back at the past.

01:23:06Ms. Whitmore, looking back on your many years of business career, who do you most appreciate?

01:23:10A driver.

01:23:11A driver?

01:23:12It pulled me out of the mud, helped me wash myself clean, and made it possible for me to stand

01:23:16here today.

01:23:17Mrs. Whitmore, what are your next plans?

01:23:19Over the next five years, Whitmore Materials Group will reach a market value of $15 billion.

01:23:24Some pain becomes your strongest armor once you've made it through.

01:23:27Wherever your road takes you next, may you become the brightest version of yourself.
