Full Series |  The Divorced Heiress Takes Over - video Dailymotion

june._ffz555

Eliana Kallis was born into a powerful Greek-American shipping dynasty. Her grandmother, Daphne Kallis, controls Kallis Ocean Group, a global empire of vessels, ports, trade routes, and international freight power. Ten years ago, Eliana gave up her inheritance for love, married the once-broke Liam Hart, and quietly helped him build Hartway Global Logistics from nothing.\nBut after a decade of marriage, Liam and his mother, Linda, no longer remember where his success truly came from. To them, Eliana is only a plain, backgroundless wife with no money, no family support, and no value in the upper-class world Liam desperately wants to enter. When Ava Monroe appears, wrapped in a carefully manufactured image of old money, charity galas, couture gowns, private yachts, and investor connections, Liam believes he has finally found the woman who can open the doors Eliana never could.\nHe cheats. He hides assets. He prepares a divorce settlement meant to push Eliana out with almost nothing. He even plans to transfer Hartway shares to Ava, the woman he thinks will buy him a seat in high society.\nThen Rosa, the longtime housekeeper, leaves Eliana one final warning before retirement. Behind Eliana and Liam’s wedding portrait, Eliana discovers the evidence of his betrayal. Instead of breaking down, she calls her best friend and attorney, Maya Brooks, and returns to the world she once walked away from: Kallis Ocean Group.

Transcript

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

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

00:00:08George, these are premium wines and health supplements.

00:00:11I want you to take them.

00:00:12And there's one more thing.

00:00:16George, you gave Julian years of loyal service.

00:00:20And you never let a single thing go wrong.

00:00:22You've earned this.

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

00:00:26After everything you've done for us, I'm the one who owes you thanks.

00:00:30If your family ever has any trouble, no matter what it is, call me anytime.

00:00:38Mrs. Prescott, there's a hidden compartment in the trunk of Mr. Prescott's bed.

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

00:00:47A hidden compartment?

00:00:49In the trunk?

00:00:56Julian, what's this?

00:00:57Why is this part raised?

00:01:03It's fine.

00:01:04The spare tire must be pushing it up.

00:01:07Come on, let's go.

00:01:08We shouldn't keep Margaret waiting.

00:01:12Business dinner tonight.

00:01:13I'm not coming home.

00:01:14Julian has this business thing at least three times a week.

00:01:17In the past, I never thought much about it, but like glass, trust fractures easily and through the cracks.

00:01:22The chill of doubt creeps me.

00:01:25George, Julian's silent driver of ten years, never spoke out of turn.

00:01:30Until today, when he turned around and said those exact words.

00:01:34There's a hidden compartment in the trunk of Mr. Prescott's Bentley.

00:01:37Please, Mrs. Prescott, you need to see what's inside.

00:01:40Whatever is hidden in there has been eating away at George for a long time.

00:01:43Long enough that staying silent made him feel like he had wronged me.

00:01:50A file?

00:01:55Beverly Hills.

00:01:57A 4,090 square foot villa?

00:02:01Registered to Vivian?

00:02:05$50,000 every month, always on the 15th for three straight years.

00:02:10All going to Vivian?

00:02:21Baby, I'm waiting for you and our little one.

00:02:24So this is what he was hiding in that secret compartment.

00:02:27For three years, I was his loyal wife while he built a whole second family behind my hat.

00:02:32A luxury villa, a monthly allowance, even a child.

00:02:36He made sure his mistress had it all.

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

00:02:48Yeah, I just got out of court. What's up?

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

00:02:53Vivian.

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

00:03:05Slate, why haven't you gone to bed yet?

00:03:10I stayed up for you.

00:03:22Next time I'm running late, just 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.

00:03:33Turns out the big client Julian has to see every week has a name.

00:03:37Vivian.

00:03:38Mr. Prescott, I heard that Prescott's real estate has acquired another prime location

00:03:43and it's 5U's about to Yarton Court 8th menu.

00:03:46This is just Prescott's basic operation.

00:03:48I believe that under my leadership, Prescott Properties will soon become the top landmark in the country.

00:03:53One billion dollars?

00:03:55Ten years ago, Julian had nothing.

00:03:56I gave him the entire $400,000 wedding gift from my parents to fund his startup.

00:04:01Every last then, he swore at the back of that.

00:04:02Sophie, I know this is all your savings.

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

00:04:08In the early days of business, I stayed up late to help him see the company's art of sales.

00:04:13I used my connections to help secure the first major client and check every detail until 3 a.m.

00:04:20Until the company came public and 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 10 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.

00:04:46Sure.

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.

00:05:06So 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, Sophie, the results are in.

00:05:28Vivian, 26 years old, a former employee of the administrative department of Prescott's real estate, left the company three years

00:05:34ago.

00:05:34She currently resides in a villa at Beverly Hills, without Fixed at Worstow.

00:05:39Under her name, there is a Porsche and a villa, both 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?

00:05:51For a decade, Julian and I tried for a child without success.

00:05:55The doctor diagnosed him with low sperm notility and suggested IVF, but Julian brushed it off, insisting we let nature

00:06:00take its course.

00:06:02As it turned out, nature took its course perfectly fine the 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.

00:06:14I'm not letting him know I'm on to him.

00:06:17There's something I need you to do first.

00:06:18Tell me.

00:06:20Pair 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?

00:06:37Of course.

00:06:39I'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,

00:06:47I ran into Julian during his so-called business trip.

00:06:52There he was.

00:06:55Flirting with Vivian like the perfect devoted boyfriend.

00:06:59Look at how your husband's been betraying you.

00:07:02The piece of trap 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.

00:07:14For three years, Julian has been laundering company money through sham projects and stashing it in secret accounts.

00:07:20$15 million.

00:07:21Six hidden accounts.

00:07:22Four under his own name.

00:07:23And 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,

00:07:29all of which he mortgaged last year and the money has completely vanished.

00:07:32Then there's Vivian.

00:07:32Besides 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.

00:07:40Their market value is over $4 million, but he only shelled out $1.1 million.

00:07:45So while I spent 10 years being his wife, Julian secretly moved at least $30 million out of reach.

00:07:54And what did he leave me?

00:07:55The right to live in this villa.

00:07:57Not ownership.

00:07:58Not even my name in the title.

00:08:00What a masterpiece.

00:08:02You haven't even seen the worst part yet.

00:08:04Last month, Julian secretly hired a lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement so he could get rid of you.

00:08:11The terms were insulting.

00:08:12The 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 down?

00:08:37Next month on the 15th.

00:08:39Sophie, what do you think?

00:08:42Didn'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.

00:09:08I need to take this.

00:09:15What'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.

00:09:33Is 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.

00:09:40I just got back from my business trip, but the office needs me again.

00:09:43I have to work late, so I won't be staying with you tonight.

00:09:46Go ahead.

00:09:49Savor every last minute with your little mistress while you can.

00:09:53Once the curtains fall on that birthday gala, your perfect little life collapses.

00:10:01I was 25 when I married Julian 10 years ago.

00:10:05Everyone told me I was throwing my life away.

00:10:08Turns out they were right.

00:10:11Sophie, have you lost your mind?

00:10:13So down your Whitmore family not on three-to-sides, the good still spends hours any of you moving.

00:10:17Sophie, how could you marry?

00:10:19Julia did this, poor boy.

00:10:21Sophie, you 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 tithes,

00:10:37and followed Julian, hold, heart, sin, harm, all because of how foolish from us.

00:10:42Sophie, I love him.

00:10:44I'll give you the whole world.

00:10:46He really did get the whole world.

00:10:48I'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.

00:11:05Grandpa is waiting.

00:11:13Grandpa, that's me, Sophie.

00:11:17Grandpa, 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.

00:11:33Guess what I found?

00:11:34Of the 78% of the stock in Prescott's, 15% has already been prepared for transfer, with the transferant

00:11:39being 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.

00:11:45So that's his plan.

00:11:46He 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.

00:12:08Tell 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.

00:12:17And 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?

00:12:23That's none of your concern.

00:12:24Just handle it.

00:12:26Very important guest.

00:12:28You're really going to expose him in front of everyone at the gala?

00:12:30Definitely.

00:12:31Good.

00:12:32I'll come armed with the full case file.

00:12:34Make sure you bring the divorce agreement to him.

00:12:36So then you know I've always believed you wasted far too much of yourself on Julian.

00:12:40Not anymore.

00:12:42It ends today.

00:12:50How may I help you?

00:12:51Who 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.

00:12:57She says she's Mr. Whitmore's granddaughter.

00:13:00Mr. Whitmore, take it easy.

00:13:03Sophie.

00:13:05Grandpa.

00:13:08You left me alone with this company for 10 years, and now you finally decide to come back.

00:13:14Come on.

00:13:15Your office has been waiting for you.

00:13:18Let Grandpa show you.

00:13:23You've gotten so thin.

00:13:26Grandpa, I'm sorry, sir.

00:13:28I turned my back on you for a love that was never worth it.

00:13:30It's all right, 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.

00:13:44You 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.

00:14:00Grandpa believes in the world.

00:14:03Mr. 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.

00:14:15Step up and take control as soon as possible, Sophie.

00:14:18I've waited a long time for this retirement.

00:14:21I will, Grandpa.

00:14:22I promise.

00:14:24Grandpa, there's one thing I need you to do for me.

00:14:28Name it.

00:14:29Whatever you need, I will make it happen.

00:14:32Keep my return quiet for now.

00:14:34Is there a reason?

00:14:36Because before I come back for good,

00:14:38there's one last war I intend to win.

00:14:40That worthless bastard Julian did something to you, didn't he?

00:14:44You might have walked away from Wiltmore Materials Group,

00:14:47but this family still shielded his business

00:14:50and quietly pulled strings for him.

00:14:52Without 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.

00:15:03This is my mess and I'm going to clean it up myself.

00:15:06Go win it then.

00:15:07You were born to conquer, not to lose.

00:15:17Where did you get an outfit like that?

00:15:20I bought it.

00:15:22How much did that cost?

00:15:24Not much.

00:15:25At just $90,000, a birthday gala this magnificent naturally demands the most high-end attire will to match.

00:15:32Come on, it's my mom's birthday gala today.

00:15:35Let's not be late.

00:15:42Of course, I'm on my way to get you now.

00:15:45I'll drop you off at the hotel, get the gala set up while I go pick up a guest.

00:15:51Is that the special guest your mother told me about?

00:15:55What's her name?

00:16:00Vivian.

00:16:02Don't overthink it.

00:16:03Her brother is one of my business partners.

00:16:05She's helped my mom connect with a few people, so my mom's taken a liking to her.

00:16:09He lies like it's the easiest thing in the world.

00:16:12I'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 Drugis to the law firm after the gala dinner.

00:16:46Why is he in such a hurry?

00:16:48Vivian's due date has been moved up.

00:16:50The doctor says she could give birth any day this week.

00:16:52Julian wants those shares safely in her name before the baby.

00:16:58He won't get that chance.

00:17:00Not in this lifetime.

00:17:08Margaret, this gala is spectacular.

00:17:10You've really outdone yourself.

00:17:12Margaret, not everyone can host a birthday gala at the peninsula.

00:17:15This is seriously impressive.

00:17:16My 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.

00:17:30She 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.

00:17:38I 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.

00:17:50Who 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.

00:18:20He holds 61% of the shares on the surface, but actually controls 78% through two high-profile companies

00:18:27in the Cayman Islands.

00:18:29The legal representative is his cousin, Derek.

00:18:31Go ahead.

00:18:32Laugh while you still can.

00:18:34Once everyone is here, I'm collecting every debt you owe me.

00:18:39Where is Julian?

00:18:41You're his wife.

00:18:42How 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.

00:18:51Vivian.

00:18:54Oh, Vivian.

00:18:55Then, of course, Julian had to pick her up himself.

00:18:58It's fine.

00:18:59We can wait as long as she needs.

00:19:00Honey, the real show is about to start.

00:19:04Keep your voice down.

00:19:18Slow down, Vivian.

00:19:19You'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.

00:19:35Mom, what are you talking about?

00:19:37What?

00:19:38I've been waiting for a grandson for years.

00:19:40Sophie can't give this family a child.

00:19:42And now I'm supposed to hide my joy because another woman can?

00:19:46Come, Vivian.

00:19:47You stay right beside me today.

00:19:49Who is she?

00:19:51Just look at her belly.

00:19:53And Margaret's practically banging over her.

00:19:55What else could it be?

00:19:57No way.

00:19:58Now 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.

00:20:20If I'm standing here today, it's because of my mom.

00:20:23She 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.

00:20:35You 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.

00:20:50We'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

00:20:57everyone.

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.

00:21:07And the woman who delivers one holds all the cards.

00:21:10Sophie can't give them that.

00:21:12But Vivian, she's carrying the ultimate leverage.

00:21:15Ouch.

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

00:21:19If that were me, this table would already be on the floor.

00:21:22Nicole, enough.

00:21:24You really thought of everything.

00:21:25First, 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 and toss me a divorced agreement

00:21:36like I'm disposable.

00:21:37Sophie, don't let it get to you.

00:21:39I'm sure Julian has a logical explanation for this.

00:21:42Derek?

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.

00:21:56I swear, I...

00:21:56I have the registration numbers for both Khaven O-Nations and Julie International.

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

00:22:05Sophie, I...

00:22:06Stay right here and watch.

00:22:08Once the show is over, I'm coming back.

00:22:15What the hell are you doing here?

00:22:17Go sit down and stop ruining the moment for everyone.

00:22:26Go back to your seat.

00:22:28It's my mother's birthday gala, so don't cause a scene.

00:22:30I'll explain when we get home.

00:22:32Home?

00:22:32Be specific, Julian.

00:22:34Do you mean our home or the one where you've been playing home with Vivian?

00:22:37What are you?

00:22:39Congratulations.

00:22:40After three years of sneaking around, of sneaking in a revolt with my husband, you can finally stop hiding and

00:22:45stand proudly beside him.

00:22:47Julian, who is she?

00:22:49You're pretending you don't know me?

00:22:51Fine.

00:22:51Let's make this official.

00:22:52I'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.

00:23:08Vivian is here as a guest.

00:23:10Don't embarrass her.

00:23:11A guest?

00:23:13Julian, do you seriously still think I'm stupid enough to believe that?

00:23:16Vivian, former staff of Prescott Development Group, lives in Beverly Hills area, drives a white Porsche-ish Cayenne.

00:23:24Julian, should I go on, or is that enough for you?

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

00:23:31Secrets only stay buried when there's nothing to uncover.

00:23:34What happened, Julian?

00:23:36Are you scared of what I found?

00:23:37You.

00:23:39Sophie, stop acting like a lunartick.

00:23:41This is my birthday gala, and I will not let you ruin it.

00:23:44Get out!

00:23:46Margaret, I'm perfectly sane.

00:23:48In 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.

00:23:56Margaret never misses a chance to flaunt her perfect family.

00:24:00Let's see how she talks her way out of this one.

00:24:02Let's be honest.

00:24:04She walked into this gala pregnant with a married man's child, Benel.

00:24:08Like she owns the place.

00:24:09She'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, which makes you the one who has actually contributed something to this family.

00:24:28Sophie, you couldn't give my son a son after ten years, so he found a woman who could.

00:24:32What exactly is wrong with that?

00:24:34Unless you can give this family a son yourself, you have nothing to say.

00:24:38Mom, stop.

00:24:39This isn't the time to show our hand.

00:24:41We still have things to put in place.

00:24:43Sophie, Vivian and I are only friends.

00:24:46My mom lost her temper and said things she didn't mean.

00:24:48There's nothing going on between us.

00:24:50Just go home, and I'll talk you through everything later.

00:24:52That's right, stop slandering my son.

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

00:24:57Slandering him?

00:25:06This prenatal record is from Vivian's appointment three months ago.

00:25:10Look at the section the baby's father.

00:25:11Julian'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.

00:25:24Is that really enough for you to cause a scene in front of everyone?

00:25:27You were just signing for him?

00:25:30Here'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 and wrote the love note for him, too?

00:25:43This is unbelievable.

00:25:45The Prescotts treated Sophie horribly.

00:25:48He's still trying to talk his way out of it.

00:25:50He must think everyone here is an idiot.

00:25:53A 4,090-bit square foot villa at Beverly Hills registered in Vivian's name,

00:25:58and these commercial units, all of them.

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

00:26:07always on the 15th.

00:26:0836 transfers.

00:26:10He never missed a single one.

00:26:12Seriously?

00:26:13He spent that much money on his mistress?

00:26:16Come on.

00:26:18Do you really think a young woman would have his baby for free?

00:26:21Sophie, you can't force someone to love you.

00:26:24Julian said your marriage has been over for years,

00:26:26and now I'm pregnant with his child.

00:26:29Nothing can change that.

00:26:30If you keep making a scene, no one is going to come out of this looking good.

00:26:35Shut up.

00:26:37Do you honestly think she's still willing this quietly after everything that just happened?

00:26:40I said shut up.

00:26:45Sophie, you don't understand the picture.

00:26:46Let'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?

00:27:00Is that when you plan to explain everything?

00:27:02You never stopped humiliating me for not giving this family a child.

00:27:06So congratulations, Margaret.

00:27:08Vivian is seven months pregnant.

00:27:11In two months, you'll finally be holding the grandson you wanted so badly.

00:27:15So what if you did?

00:27:18You've been in our family for ten 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.

00:27:25What's wrong with finding someone who can have kids?

00:27:28I'm not the one who couldn't have a child, Margaret.

00:27:31Your precious son, Julian, is.

00:27:35Sophie, 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 that 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, doctor told us Julian had low sperm motility and 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.

00:28:01I waited eight years.

00:28:03Then the moment things finally worked out, he went and had a child with someone else.

00:28:09Honestly, I'm glad I never gave him a child.

00:28:12A man like Julian doesn't deserve to be the father of mine.

00:28:15Enough, Sophie!

00:28:17No.

00:28:18I'm done.

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

00:28:21Why on earth should I do you any favors now?

00:28:24Sophie!

00:28:24No 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?

00:28:36Shut your mouth.

00:28:37We're already in deep trouble.

00:28:38We 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 and destroy everything I built?

00:28:51I'm not the one ruining your opinion.

00:28:53You did that all on your own.

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

00:28:58Sophie!

00:28:59You 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,

00:29:12embezzling 30 million in assets,

00:29:15and trying to leave me with pocket change.

00:29:17Don't play innocent.

00:29:18You 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.

00:29:24Is that your idea of a good upbringing?

00:29:28How dare you speak to me that way?

00:29:30I am your mother-in-law!

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

00:29:33Not anymore.

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

00:29:37My lawyer prepared this divorce agreement.

00:29:40I'm asking for exactly what the law allows.

00:29:43A lawful division of all marital assets,

00:29:46the 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

00:29:55based on each person's actual contribution.

00:29:59I don't agree.

00:30:00Those assets belong to me and my son.

00:30:02No one is touching them.

00:30:04You're delusional, Sophie.

00:30:05I 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.

00:30:13You built it yourself?

00:30:14Well, then let's refresh your memory, Julian.

00:30:17Who gave you the $400,000 you needed to launch the company?

00:30:23Who drafted the bylaws?

00:30:25Who 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.

00:30:35Everything you built started with what I gave you.

00:30:39Wait, 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.

00:30:48How impressive.

00:30:49Classic.

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.

00:30:56If you refuse, we can settle this in court.

00:30:59Sophie, 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.

00:31:07And if I don't...

00:31:10Vivian, what is it?

00:31:11Are you okay?

00:31:15I'm going into labor.

00:31:17Get me to the hospital now.

00:31:18The baby, you can't let anything happen to the baby.

00:31:23What the hell are you waiting for?

00:31:25Call an ambulance.

00:31:26If anything happens to my son, Sophie, I swear I'll make you pay.

00:31:29Fine.

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

00:31:33Don't worry, Julian.

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

00:31:38Everyone, my apologies for interrupting such a lovely celebration.

00:31:42Please don't let me spoil the fun.

00:31:44Margaret, since it's your birthday,

00:31:46I 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.

00:31:58From this moment forward, I, Sophie, will live for myself and no one else.

00:32:04You completely slaughtered them.

00:32:07Cold, merciless, and lethal.

00:32:09The old Sophie is back.

00:32:10No, wait.

00:32:11This version is way better.

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

00:32:15I just spent a decade living a lie and the illusion has finally shattered.

00:32:20That's true.

00:32:22By the way, I'm submitting the divorce filing tomorrow morning.

00:32:25Once Julian receives it, he'll send someone to push for a settlement.

00:32:29A settlement?

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

00:32:34Come on.

00:32:34My treat.

00:32:36Tonight we celebrate your new life.

00:32:39Sophie, please wait!

00:32:40Tell it to the judge when the time comes.

00:32:42Now move.

00:32:43No, no.

00:32:45Sophie, please.

00:32:47Thanks, you listed in me.

00:32:48About those two Cayman Islands companies you mentioned, Derek is only listed in the paperwork.

00:32:52He doesn't know anything about them.

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

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

00:33:00I only did what he asked.

00:33:02Save that explanation for the IRS.

00:33:04They can decide whether you knew what you were doing.

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

00:33:09Please don't involve Derek.

00:33:10Nicole, that's a first.

00:33:12After all these years, you finally managed to ask me for something without sneering.

00:33:17I was wrong, Sophie.

00:33:18Sophie, I admit it.

00:33:19Please show Derek some mercy.

00:33:21Sophie, I never should have helped Julian deceive you.

00:33:24I know I was wrong.

00:33:25Please just give me one chance to make it right.

00:33:27I'm not part of your family anymore.

00:33:29Sophie.

00:33:32Enough.

00:33:33I won't report you myself.

00:33:35Thanks, Sophie.

00:33:36Thanks, Sophie.

00:33:38On one condition.

00:33:42On one condition.

00:33:46Of course, Sophie.

00:33:48Tell me what you need.

00:33:49First, never try to manipulate me with that we're family bullshit again.

00:33:53It's disgusting.

00:33:55Second, you have the files and login directives for every offshore company Julian controls.

00:34:01I want copies of every document and every password.

00:34:04That's...

00:34:07What the hell are you thinking?

00:34:08Sophie is giving you a lifeline.

00:34:09Are you really stupid enough to sync with Julian?

00:34:13Okay, Sophie.

00:34:15I'll send every password right now.

00:34:17You'll have copies of every document shortly after that.

00:34:24Honey, are we really going to sell Julian out?

00:34:27You know exactly how Julian got his power.

00:34:29He used his wife to build Prescott Development Group and 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.

00:34:41You have to come back to Whitmore's to help me.

00:34:43You're my golden ticket, Sophie.

00:34:45Of course, I'm holding on for dear life.

00:34:47General counsel.

00:34:48The job is yours whenever you want it.

00:34:55Easy there.

00:34:56Deputy general counsel is more than enough for me.

00:35:01Sophie, the gala footage is everywhere.

00:35:03Julian is finished.

00:35:05Tell me the truth.

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

00:35:08I didn't need to do a thing.

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

00:35:13Particularly Margaret's old friends.

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

00:35:19Sophie, don't buy Vivian's act.

00:35:21She played the meek lamb, but she was too calm under pressure.

00:35:24She's no victim.

00:35:24She's trouble.

00:35:25Good.

00:35:26I was hoping she'd put up a fight.

00:35:28Otherwise, where's the fun?

00:35:30Come on.

00:35:31Drink with me.

00:35:41My baby.

00:35:42Where is he?

00:35:44He's fine.

00:35:45Mom's watching over him right now.

00:35:47You promised Sophie wouldn't discover a thing.

00:35:50Now she knows about the entire plan.

00:35:52How are you going to fix this?

00:35:53That vindictive bitch or the gala scandal in public.

00:35:57She'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.

00:36:08I still have everything under control.

00:36:11Mr. Prescott.

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

00:36:19Get some rest.

00:36:20I'll be right outside.

00:36:25Your wife has officially filed for divorce.

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

00:36:31She actually had the nerve to file.

00:36:33Does Sophie seriously think I'm going to back down?

00:36:35The evidence is damaging.

00:36:38She can prove the affair, the asset transfers, and potential tax violations.

00:36:42The facts are difficult to dispute.

00:36:44And from what I've heard, she's still holding back additional evidence.

00:36:50Then what the hell am I supposed to do?

00:36:54My advice is to settle.

00:36:56The more public this becomes, the 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.

00:37:16Did Rachel bring me home?

00:37:19My head hurts so much.

00:37:23I drank way too much last night, and everything after that is a total blank.

00:37:28After everything you've been through, you deserved one night to let it all out.

00:37:32Bottling it up would have been worse.

00:37:33Drink up, Miss Sophie.

00:37:34Mr. Whitweald asked me to have it ready for you.

00:37:37It's just the right temperature.

00:37:38Thanks, Martha.

00:37:40Miss Sophie, no more heavy drinking for you.

00:37:43Last night, you wrapped yourself around Mr. Whitweald, cried like a baby, and wouldn't let go.

00:37:48You practically sobbed yourself unconscious.

00:37:56Martha, please tell me you're joking.

00:37:58I wish I were, Sophie.

00:38:00Not once.

00:38:01In all the years I've known you, have I ever seen you cry that hard.

00:38:04You clung to Mr. Whitman, apologized over and over, and promised you'd be the best granddaughter in the world from

00:38:11now on.

00:38:12Then you insisted he stay with you until you fell asleep.

00:38:15Martha, have mercy.

00:38:16Say another word, and Sophie may never show her face in this house again.

00:38:20Okay, okay, I'll stop.

00:38:21I'm going to bring out breakfast.

00:38:24I made everything you loved when you were younger, Miss Sophia.

00:38:29That's so embarrassing.

00:38:31It's quite all right, dear.

00:38:32No need to be embarrassed.

00:38:34There's no need to ever feel embarrassed around your grandfather, sweetheart.

00:38:38Now go freshen up and come back downstairs.

00:38:41Let's have some breakfast together.

00:38:43Yeah.

00:38:53You're far too thin, Sophie.

00:38:55You need to eat properly.

00:38:58Grandpa, I'm coming to new Whitmore Materials group with you today.

00:39:02I'm ready to get started.

00:39:03There's no rush.

00:39:04Give yourself a few days to rest.

00:39:09I've had enough rest.

00:39:10Let me learn the ropes so you can finally stop exhausting yourself for the business.

00:39:15Then let's do it.

00:39:22What do you want?

00:39:23Sophie, we need to talk.

00:39:26All right.

00:39:26This morning, I need to go back and remove every last thing that belongs to me.

00:39:36Grandpa, I...

00:39:37It's okay, Sophie.

00:39:38Go close that chapter properly.

00:39:40I'll be waiting for you at the office this afternoon.

00:39:56I can't change the past, but I'm not going to waste another second bleeding over it.

00:40:10Done with this, too.

00:40:24Sophie, what are you doing?

00:40:25Did your conscience rot so deeply that it blinded you?

00:40:28Fine.

00:40:29Open your eyes and watch this.

00:40:43How did I never see how ruthless you really are?

00:40:46If I showed any mercy, you and your family would leave me with nothing.

00:40:50Not even the scraps.

00:40:52You wanted to talk, Julian?

00:40:53I'm listening.

00:40:55Say what you came to say so we can get this over with.

00:40:57Fine.

00:40:57Tell me how much it'll take to make you go away.

00:41:00How much for what?

00:41:02Come on, Sophie.

00:41:03This entire spectacle is about money.

00:41:05How much do you want to withdraw the lawsuit?

00:41:071.5 million?

00:41:08Not even close.

00:41:10Fine.

00:41:113 million dollars.

00:41:12That's more than enough, isn't it?

00:41:14When is it going to be enough, Sophie?

00:41:16Keep pushing like this, and you're going to choke.

00:41:18Don't worry about me, Julian.

00:41:19My appetite has never been better.

00:41:224 million dollars.

00:41:24Sophie, this is my final offer.

00:41:26Think it through for yourself.

00:41:27You're a housewife with no job and no income.

00:41:30Do you know expensive a lawsuit is?

00:41:33Can you afford the lawyer's fees?

00:41:35I can afford it.

00:41:38You've got a lot of confidence for someone relying on one small-time lawyer.

00:41:41Prescott Development Group has an entire team of senior attorneys on retainer.

00:41:45Do you seriously think your friend stands a chance against them?

00:41:49Do you honestly believe your little lawyer friend stands a chance against an entire team of seasoned attorneys?

00:41:54Your team?

00:41:56You might want to ask Graven about that.

00:41:59Your star attorney faced Rachel in three cases last year, and she beat him every single time.

00:42:05Mr. Prescott, your wife has a very strong case.

00:42:09Especially with Rachel handling it.

00:42:11She is not someone we should take lightly.

00:42:13What the hell do you want from me?

00:42:15I'm taking every single thing the law says belongs to me.

00:42:18Not one cent less.

00:42:20What do you think the law can give you?

00:42:21On paper, you have nothing.

00:42:23No shares in Prescott Development Group.

00:42:25No name on the deed.

00:42:26Nothing.

00:42:27I'm offering you a way out because I'm being generous.

00:42:29Don't be stupid enough to reject it.

00:42:31Keep your generosity, Julian.

00:42:33The courts will decide exactly what I get.

00:42:36Not you.

00:42:37You.

00:42:38Is that all?

00:42:39I have places to be.

00:42:40Sophie, we were married for ten years.

00:42:43Doesn't what we had count for anything?

00:42:44What do you gain by turning this into a war?

00:42:47What we had?

00:42:48Julian, you started your company with my $400,000.

00:42:52You used my connections to land clients.

00:42:53You wore the suits I picked out when you went to pitch projects.

00:42:56Back when you were nobody, I was the one who stood beside you and helped you build everything from the

00:42:59ground up.

00:43:00And now you want to talk to me about what we had?

00:43:02Fine.

00:43:02Let's talk about what we had.

00:43:03Sitting in the Beverly Hills mansion you bought, Vivian, it's in the $11,000 you wire her every month.

00:43:08It's growing inside her right now, seven months along.

00:43:10And what did you leave me after ten years?

00:43:12A divorce agreement designed to strip me of everything and send me away with a pathetic $250,000 payoff.

00:43:31Wait, you weren't supposed to know about that agreement.

00:43:35Of course you haven't shown it to me yet.

00:43:37You were waiting for Vivian to give birth, move the shares into place, and then throw the divorce papers in

00:43:43my face.

00:43:44Too bad your devoted driver told me everything before you got the chance.

00:43:48George?

00:43:49That bastard sell me out?

00:43:53You should consider yourself lucky.

00:43:55He covered for you all these years.

00:43:57He didn't say a word until the day he retired.

00:43:59Still doesn't give him the right to sell me out!

00:44:01Sold you out?

00:44:02You paid him $2,000 a month.

00:44:04I gave him an extra $3,000 every month because I wanted him to take good care of you on

00:44:08the road.

00:44:09I gave him holiday bonus.

00:44:10I helped pay for his daughter's education.

00:44:12When his wife was hospitalized, I covered the bills.

00:44:14And you?

00:44:15All you ever did was complain that I was wasting money.

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

00:44:23You've been buying the loyalty of everyone around me behind my back.

00:44:27Fine.

00:44:27Let's call it buying loyalty.

00:44:29But even at that, Julian, you still can't compete with me.

00:44:31How dare you?

00:44:32All that rage only proves one thing, Julian.

00:44:35You're powerless.

00:44:36I must have been blind to waste 10 years on a man like you.

00:44:40$4 million and you can keep the villa.

00:44:43That has to be enough.

00:44:44You'll regret walking away from this offer!

00:44:47I'm not the one who's going to regret this.

00:44:51She has no connections, no income, no one behind her.

00:44:54She's just a housewife.

00:44:56How the hell does she have the nerve?

00:45:06Sister.

00:45:08Sophie, thank you for coming.

00:45:10Hand them over.

00:45:12Sophie, this is all the information about those two offshore companies from Derek's computer.

00:45:16Passwords, accounts, transfer records, and scanned copies of the original nominee agreements are all here.

00:45:20Until I say this is over, Julian doesn't hear a word about any of it. Understood?

00:45:23Of course.

00:45:23We won't tell him a word. That's enough. Go home.

00:45:28Sophie, I'm sorry.

00:45:30Before, I shouldn't have treated you like that.

00:45:33Your apology means nothing to me.

00:45:36I have somewhere to be.

00:45:38Bye.

00:45:50Grandpa, what's going on?

00:45:53Everyone, your attention, please.

00:45:54Take a good look.

00:45:55This is my granddaughter, Sophie, and she is the future head of Whitmore Materials.

00:46:00Welcome back to Ms. Whitmore.

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

00:46:05Everything here will be yours. You deserve to be welcomed properly.

00:46:10Come on. Let's make your return official.

00:46:13Let's go.

00:46:17Here's an overview of our key clients from the past several years. Please review it.

00:46:21Maintain normal deliveries for every other client.

00:46:25Prescott Development Group is the exception.

00:46:27Its payments have been repeatedly delayed since last year, with one invoice now four months past due.

00:46:33That violates Whitmore Materials Group's credit policy.

00:46:36But Prescott Development Group has been a stable client for years.

00:46:40Mr. Prescott has also assured us that...

00:46:42Julian's promises don't matter.

00:46:44The contract does.

00:46:45Suspend deliveries to any client whose payments are more than 60 days overdue.

00:46:50Any objections?

00:46:51Mr. Whitmore, would you like to weigh in?

00:46:54Follow Sophie's instructions.

00:46:56Her word carries the same authority as mine.

00:47:00I know Prescott Development Group's internal situation better than anyone in this room, so let me be clear.

00:47:05Julia betrayed me.

00:47:06He stole 10 years of my life.

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

00:47:10But I haven't broken a single rule.

00:47:12Now does anyone still have a problem with my decision?

00:47:14We fully support the Lady Boss.

00:47:17We fully support the Lady Boss.

00:47:27You came in swinging.

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

00:47:32Damn, that was satisfying.

00:47:33I don't start wars, Rachel.

00:47:35But when someone comes for me, I finish them.

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

00:47:40Let's give Ms. Whitfield another chance to make Julian pay.

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

00:47:49Julian's real assets aren't the public $1 billion market value, but $170 million in actual disposable funds.

00:47:57Of this, at least $45 million went ashore, with $30 million under Vivian's name, while the rest sits in Prescott

00:48:04Development Group's company account.

00:48:07If we take this all the way to court, how much can I realistically recover?

00:48:10Marriage law dictates an equal split of joint assets, but his affair and asset transfers change things.

00:48:16Our lawyer confirms the court will favor you as the injured Barty.

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

00:48:23What if we claw back everything he moved?

00:48:26If we recover everything Julian moved, you walk away with at least $90 million.

00:48:31$90 million? Not bad?

00:48:33I put $400,000 into his startup 10 years ago.

00:48:36The return on that investment is better than I expected.

00:48:39But it is not enough.

00:48:41What do you want?

00:48:43Prescott Development Group.

00:48:44You want to take the entire company away from Julian?

00:48:47I'm not taking it from him.

00:48:48I am taking it back.

00:48:51Sophie, $90 million is already a substantial recovery.

00:48:54Going after the entire company is another matter.

00:48:56Prescott Development Group wouldn't even exist without my money and my connections.

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

00:49:04Rachel, leave Julian with nothing.

00:49:06Put him right back to where he was 10 years ago.

00:49:08Empty-handed and irrelevant.

00:49:10That is his punishment.

00:49:18It's already been three days.

00:49:19Why the hell hasn't Sophie responded yet?

00:49:23She's made up her mind.

00:49:25She's going to fight this lawsuit to the bitter end.

00:49:28That shameless bitch.

00:49:29You offered her a generous settlement and she still has the nerve to refuse it.

00:49:33Let her keep feeding her greed.

00:49:34Sooner or sooner, she's going to choke him.

00:49:36I'll give her some time to calm down.

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

00:49:41Julian, I don't care what it takes.

00:49:43$4 million is the most you are giving her, not one cent more.

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

00:49:48Julian.

00:49:48Vivian.

00:49:49Let her sue.

00:49:50She 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?

00:49:56Rachel is not some amateur.

00:49:57Sir, our lawyers reviewed the situation and they advised against going to war with her

00:50:01right now.

00:50:02Then what the hell am I supposed to think?

00:50:04You and your lawyers are useless.

00:50:08Vivian, this isn't like you.

00:50:09You never used to talk like this.

00:50:12Vivian.

00:50:12I have always been this person, Julian.

00:50:14I refuse to stay trapped in the life I was born into, done working myself to the bone and

00:50:17counting petties just to survive.

00:50:18So, I studied you, I learned exactly what you liked, and I molded myself into the perfect

00:50:22woman for you.

00:50:23So, the sweet, understanding woman I knew never existed.

00:50:26Now that you have my son, you no longer need the costume, is that it?

00:50:29I do love you.

00:50:30I never lied about that.

00:50:31But I love the money and the life that come with you, too.

00:50:34Why should those things be mutually exclusive?

00:50:36How can you...

00:50:37What?

00:50:38Starting to regret choosing me?

00:50:40I just need a little time to get used to everything.

00:50:42You can regret me all you want, Julian.

00:50:43It changes nothing.

00:50:44Even if you never put a ring on my finger, you still have a legal obligation to your son.

00:50:48He has inheritance rights, and you cannot cut him out of your life or your estate.

00:50:51The law will make sure of that.

00:50:52Your relationship is your own business, but this child stays with us.

00:50:55He is the heir to the Prescott family.

00:50:57One last thing, Julian.

00:50:58I looked into your medical history.

00:51:00Your fertility never improved.

00:51:01With account and mobility that low, your chances of ever having another child are zero.

00:51:06I'm cornered.

00:51:07You left me with absolutely nothing.

00:51:09This was your plan all along, wasn't it?

00:51:10I can't believe this is who you actually are.

00:51:14Change your mind if you want to.

00:51:16We don't have to get married.

00:51:17But I'll make sure you never lay eyes on your child again.

00:51:20No.

00:51:21You cannot let that happen.

00:51:22This is my grandson.

00:51:24Julian, think carefully.

00:51:25Vivian is only asking for reassurance of what she wants.

00:51:29All right.

00:51:31When you get out of the hospital, we will make it legal.

00:51:33Does that put your mind at ease?

00:51:34Transfer 40% of Prescott Development Group into my name.

00:51:37Once the shares are mine, I will sign the marriage license.

00:51:40Vivian, you...

00:51:41I have no interest in managing the company.

00:51:43You can remain in charge.

00:51:45But I will have the shares.

00:51:46That equity stape is the only real protection my son and I have.

00:51:49Our son is going to inherit everything I have.

00:51:52Why is that not enough?

00:51:53Why would I trust a promise like that?

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

00:51:58Once our son is older, you could do the same to me and fight me for custody.

00:52:02I have no income and you have entire legal team.

00:52:05Without shares in my name, I could lose everything.

00:52:08You had this figured out from the beginning, did you?

00:52:10You abandoned Sophie for me and you could abandon me for another woman.

00:52:13I'm not as foolish and infationate as she is.

00:52:14What I want is long-term security and that's an equity stake.

00:52:17Don't forget, Julian, my son is the only heir you'll ever have.

00:52:19He's the only one left to carry on your legacy.

00:52:21That makes me highly valuable to you, so think very carefully.

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

00:52:26Do I have any choice left?

00:52:28Vivian, I underestimated you completely.

00:52:30You chose this, Julian, and you can't undo regret.

00:52:33I'm taking over now.

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

00:52:36That's one thing you'll never have to worry about.

00:52:39I heard you get some rest.

00:52:40I have a meeting to attend at the company.

00:52:42You have three days to put the share transfer appointment in front of me.

00:52:46Until those shares are secured, I will not have peace of mind.

00:52:50I know.

00:52:58Mr. Prescott.

00:52:59Can I have one damn minute of peace?

00:53:01Mr. Prescott, Whitmore Materials Group has issued a formal notice to us.

00:53:05What is this like?

00:53:06They are citing repeated breaches of our contractual payment terms.

00:53:09In fact, immediately, Whitmore Materials Group is cutting off all building materials supplies

00:53:13to every project we have under construction until we settle the outstanding balances.

00:53:17What the hell did you just say are cutting off materials to every active project?

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

00:53:24We have three active construction projects, including Sierra Towers,

00:53:28which is 70% pre-sold.

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

00:53:33Sierra Towers alone faces a conservative 11 million Dan damages,

00:53:37and that doesn't even count the fallout for the other two projects.

00:53:40We've always had a great partnership with Whitmore Materials Group.

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

00:53:49Why would they suddenly cut off our building materials now?

00:53:56I made some calls.

00:53:57They said...

00:53:59What did they say?

00:54:02They only backed Prescott as a favorite in Ms. Whitmore,

00:54:05and, um, now she's enforcing the contract exactly.

00:54:11So...

00:54:11Ms. Whitford?

00:54:12There isn't one in senior management.

00:54:14The only Whitmore running Whitford Materials Group is Chairman Henry.

00:54:18Your... your wife, Sophie.

00:54:22What the hell are you saying?

00:54:23Sophie was the one behind this?

00:54:25Julian, this is Ethan,

00:54:27a client relations manager at Whitmore Materials Group.

00:54:32Wait.

00:54:33Sophie did connect us to Whitmore Materials Group,

00:54:35but all she did was make an introduction.

00:54:37I'm the one who spent years maintaining that relationship.

00:54:40She spent all this time at home.

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

00:54:45Mr. Prescott?

00:55:03Sophie, what exactly did you do?

00:55:05Nothing much.

00:55:05Your payments are overdue,

00:55:07so I simply told Whitmerry Materials Group

00:55:09to stop supplying your construction materials.

00:55:11You think you can take revenge on me like this?

00:55:14Listen to me, Sophie.

00:55:16You are not going to win.

00:55:19Let'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.

00:55:28How did you cut me off just like that?

00:55:31Because my surname is Whitmore.

00:55:34Whitmore.

00:55:38Whitmore, as in the family that owns Whitmore Materials Group.

00:55:42Whitmore, as in Henry Whitmore, the chairman himself.

00:55:47You're Henry Whitmore's granddaughter?

00:55:49The one who left her family because of a man?

00:56:00Why is he here?

00:56:01Who knows?

00:56:02Now that our Mrs. Whitmore is back on top,

00:56:04he probably came crawling over here to beg her to spare him.

00:56:09I need to see Sophie.

00:56:12Do you have an appointment?

00:56:15No.

00:56:16Tell her I won't leave this palace until she agrees to see me.

00:56:21Mrs. Whitmore, Julie would like to see you.

00:56:23He says he won't leave unless you meet with him.

00:56:26Of course.

00:56:27Understood.

00:56:30Come with me.

00:56:36Come with me.

00:56:40Mrs. Whitmore, Mr. Prescott has arrived.

00:56:43You may go now.

00:56:59You may go now.

00:57:03Have a seat.

00:57:09You're really different from the woman you used to be.

00:57:12Whatever you came here to say, say it now.

00:57:14I have work to do.

00:57:17Sophie, you're the heir to Whitmore Materials Group.

00:57:19How could you keep something this important for me?

00:57:21I went against my grandfather for you.

00:57:23I gave up my family for you.

00:57:24And what did I get in return?

00:57:25I nearly got thrown out of my own home.

00:57:28The more I think about it, the more pathetic this whole thing feels.

00:57:31I was wrong.

00:57:32I handle it poorly.

00:57:33Fine.

00:57:34But we built a life together.

00:57:36Are you truly prepared to leave me with absolutely nothing?

00:57:40Your payment deadline has passed.

00:57:41I'm doing exactly what the contract allows me to do.

00:57:44It was a temporary cash flow problem.

00:57:46Every real estate company is a few days late paying an invoice sometimes.

00:57:49That's how this industry works, and you know it.

00:57:52I know.

00:57:53But I can give other real estate companies a chance.

00:57:57You don't get one.

00:58:02If I gave you a chance after everything you've done,

00:58:04I'd feel sick about it for the rest of my life.

00:58:09Julian, I'm taking over Prescott Development Group for good.

00:58:12Don't look to other suppliers for help either.

00:58:13I've convinced them all to follow Whitmore's lead

00:58:15and demand payment before delivery.

00:58:16Sophie, you're a cold-blooded, vicious woman

00:58:18or everything we've shared over the years.

00:58:20Right?

00:58:20If I weren't a bit ruthless,

00:58:21how could I possibly outwit you

00:58:22who's been pretending for 10 years?

00:58:24Unless you have anything else, get the hell out.

00:58:26My time is worth too much to waste on you.

00:58:35Sophie, are you really going to take this all the way?

00:58:38See yourself out.

00:58:42How stupid would I have to be

00:58:43to give you another chance to cause trouble?

00:58:51Yeah?

00:58:51Julian, you haven't come to the hospital

00:58:53to see the baby in two days.

00:58:54We're being discharged today.

00:58:55Come pick us up.

00:58:56Fine, I know.

00:59:01Julian, I saw the news.

00:59:03Is 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

00:59:16what you cost your precious son?

00:59:18He had a golden ticket

00:59:19and he completely threw it away.

00:59:24That's not...

00:59:25That's fine.

00:59:26You can bring her back

00:59:27and make her your precious daughter-in-law again.

00:59:29I'll take my son and leave

00:59:30so she can have her place back.

00:59:33Vivian, don't read too much into it.

00:59:34I was just curious.

00:59:35I was only asking.

00:59:36Enough.

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

00:59:43Julian, your three days are up.

00:59:46Where is the share transfer agreement?

00:59:48The company is about to go under

00:59:49and you're still thinking about shares?

00:59:51What do you mean?

00:59:52You were both so focused on Sophie

00:59:54going back to Whitmore Materials Group

00:59:55that you never stopped to think

00:59:56she might retaliate.

00:59:5840% of our construction materials

00:59:59come from Whitmore.

01:00:00Now she's aggressively chasing

01:00:02every overdue payment.

01:00:03Whitmore Materials Group.

01:00:04Rie Whitmore is not the only

01:00:05building materials supplier in this...

01:00:07Prescott Development Group.

01:00:08She convinced every supplier

01:00:09to demand payment up front

01:00:10and all our cash is tied up in the project.

01:00:12If we can't survive this crisis,

01:00:13Prescott Development Group goes bankrupt.

01:00:14You want stock in a higher social lateral?

01:00:16Dream on!

01:00:16Is it really that serious?

01:00:18We're on my way to the hospital.

01:00:19The bank called demanding

01:00:20our $4 million loan repayment

01:00:22or they'll freeze our assets.

01:00:24Plus, the divorce hits court

01:00:26the day after tomorrow.

01:00:28If we lose,

01:00:28she gets at least 30% of everything.

01:00:31Then go beg her, Julian.

01:00:33You were her husband.

01:00:34She used to hang on your every word.

01:00:36She loved you enough

01:00:37to give up everything for you.

01:00:39She might still...

01:00:40Begging will only give Sophie

01:00:41the chance to humiliate him.

01:00:42A wounded woman can be

01:00:43crueler than any man.

01:00:44Stop hoping she'll suddenly show mercy.

01:00:46She won't.

01:00:49I seriously underestimated

01:00:51just how calculating you are.

01:00:52I know you regret starting this with me.

01:00:54I know you're already sick of me,

01:00:55but I don't care.

01:00:56Sleep with as many women

01:00:57as you want after this.

01:00:57It makes no difference to me.

01:00:59You know, having my son

01:00:59gives you all the leverage you need

01:01:01and he'll be my only son.

01:01:02That's your whole plan, isn't it?

01:01:03Exactly.

01:01:04So even if you build another home

01:01:05with someone else

01:01:06and never come back here again,

01:01:07it doesn't matter to me.

01:01:09Turns out you're the coldest one of us all.

01:01:11Can love feed me?

01:01:12Can I cash it out and spend it?

01:01:13Can it secure the rest of my life?

01:01:14Come on.

01:01:14You're not some naive little boy

01:01:15who still thinks feelings are worth anything.

01:01:17You.

01:01:18Go kneel in front of Sophie

01:01:19and beg her where everyone can see you.

01:01:21The wealthier people are,

01:01:22the more they care about their reputation.

01:01:23So use public pressure and guilt against her.

01:01:25I refuse to believe she'll remain unmoved.

01:01:27How can you be so cruel?

01:01:28Vivian, when Sophie was here,

01:01:30she always treated my mother with respect,

01:01:31but you...

01:01:32Stop bringing her up around me.

01:01:33You're the one who plotted to kick her out.

01:01:35Your little plan just blew up in your face

01:01:37and now you're stuck with no way forward

01:01:38and no way back.

01:01:40None of this would have happened

01:01:41if you hadn't seduced me.

01:01:42Oh, stop blaming me for your own choices.

01:01:44I didn't drag you into bed, Julian.

01:01:46You walked there yourself.

01:01:47Now you're looking at your son

01:01:49and pretending you're some tragic victim?

01:01:51Give me a break.

01:01:52You cheated on your wife

01:01:53and you got played.

01:01:54Deal with it.

01:01:56Julian.

01:01:58Go on, hit me!

01:02:00Go ahead, Julian.

01:02:01Hit me, I dare you!

01:02:02Lay one finger on me

01:02:03and I'll take our son and disappear.

01:02:04You'll never see him again.

01:02:06If you don't believe me,

01:02:07try it.

01:02:09Julian.

01:02:09Julian, let it go.

01:02:10Just let it go.

01:02:13But Mom...

01:02:14All right.

01:02:15I'm going to check on my grandson.

01:02:17You two need to stop fighting.

01:02:21Cut the dutiful son routine, Julian.

01:02:24Everyone in this room knows you're a complete frog.

01:02:27Vivian, how did you become like this?

01:02:29You know I'm impatient.

01:02:30Stop fighting among ourselves.

01:02:32If Sophie won't budge, fine.

01:02:34We go to court.

01:02:35We already hid most of our assets

01:02:36over the last few months anyway.

01:02:38Worst case scenario,

01:02:39she splits your remaining holdings.

01:02:41You make it sound so simple.

01:02:43What other choice do we have?

01:02:45If this keeps going, nobody wins.

01:02:46Let her get it out of her system.

01:02:47We lose some money,

01:02:48buy our way out of trouble

01:02:49and move on with our lives.

01:02:50Fine.

01:02:51That's the only move we have left.

01:02:52But I'll need the 30 million

01:02:53sitting in your private accounts

01:02:54to keep the business afloat.

01:02:55No way.

01:02:56That money is my safety net.

01:02:58Nobody gets to touch it.

01:02:59You selfish...

01:03:00You've got three active developments.

01:03:02Sell off the other two

01:03:03and focus everything on Sierra Towers.

01:03:06There.

01:03:06Problem solved.

01:03:08Whitmer Materials Group

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

01:03:15Please be seated.

01:03:16The court is now in session

01:03:18for the divorce proceedings

01:03:19of Sophie Whitmer and Julian Prescott.

01:03:22These are the complete records

01:03:23showing that Miss transferred

01:03:24his personal assets

01:03:25through two offshore companies

01:03:26registered in the Cayman Islands,

01:03:28Kayhaven Holdings

01:03:29and Lujing International.

01:03:30How could she know about this?

01:03:32Over a three-year period,

01:03:33he moved a total of $45 million.

01:03:35Of that,

01:03:36$30 million ended up

01:03:38under the name of a third party,

01:03:40Mrs. Vivian.

01:03:42You transferred assets?

01:03:44This puts you in a very bad position.

01:03:46Why didn't you tell me sooner?

01:03:47Gavin,

01:03:48you need to get me out of this.

01:03:49There has to be something you can do.

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

01:03:55Counsel,

01:03:57order in the court.

01:03:59The plaintiff has shown sufficient evidence

01:04:00of massive asset transfers

01:04:02and ongoing risk.

01:04:03The application for property preservation

01:04:05is granted.

01:04:12Sophie,

01:04:12tell me exactly how much you want.

01:04:14Name your price

01:04:15and let's end this.

01:04:18I told you already.

01:04:20I'm taking you all the way back

01:04:21to the life you had 10 years ago.

01:04:23If you keep pushing me like this

01:04:24and Prescott Development Group collapses,

01:04:25you won't get any money either.

01:04:26We'll both lose everything.

01:04:27Even if I don't get a single cent,

01:04:29I will have my revenge.

01:04:30Besides,

01:04:31whether Prescott Development Group's

01:04:32elapses is entirely up to me.

01:04:34$7.5 million.

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

01:04:37Will that satisfy you?

01:04:38Not even close.

01:04:39$7.5 million.

01:04:45$15 million.

01:04:46$15 million?

01:04:47That has to be enough, right?

01:04:49Vivian cost you over $30 million.

01:04:52Yet you think you can get rid of me

01:04:53for half that?

01:04:54You seriously underestimate me

01:04:56if you think I'm someone

01:04:57you can just push around.

01:04:58Sophie,

01:04:59you've completely lost your mind.

01:05:00You feel fucking crazy.

01:05:04How did she find out

01:05:05about the $30 million

01:05:07you transferred to me?

01:05:08You said those transfers

01:05:09were well hidden.

01:05:10You said there was no chance

01:05:11anything could go wrong.

01:05:12But she knows now.

01:05:14I already told you

01:05:16that $30 million

01:05:17is my safety net.

01:05:19Even if you end up with nothing,

01:05:21I still need it to live on

01:05:22for the rest of my life.

01:05:24Nobody touches that money.

01:05:27Tell that to the judge.

01:05:28Go ahead.

01:05:32What do we do now?

01:05:37What choice do we have?

01:05:38We give Sophie whatever she wants.

01:05:41Right now,

01:05:41I only care about keeping

01:05:43Prescott Development Group alive.

01:05:44Even after I hand over

01:05:45half the shares,

01:05:46Derek still controls

01:05:47a block of stock for me.

01:05:48Add that to what I keep,

01:05:49and I'm still the largest shareholder.

01:05:52Prescott Development Group

01:05:53still answers to me.

01:05:54And once Sophie owns

01:05:55the second largest estate,

01:05:56she won't be able to destroy

01:05:57the company without

01:05:58destroying her own investment.

01:05:59Fine.

01:06:00You can give her the shares.

01:06:02But you are not touching

01:06:03a single cent of my money.

01:06:05The shares aren't enough.

01:06:06I also have to give her money.

01:06:07I don't have enough cash.

01:06:09How is that my problem?

01:06:10I already told you.

01:06:11That $30 million

01:06:12is my safety net.

01:06:13It's mine.

01:06:16What did you just say?

01:06:19After everything that's happened,

01:06:21you still think

01:06:21you can walk away clean?

01:06:23You think this has

01:06:24enough to do with you?

01:06:26Keep dreaming.

01:06:29What are you doing?

01:06:30Let her go!

01:06:37Why can't the two of you

01:06:39talk this through calmly?

01:06:41Mom, stay out of this.

01:06:43Give me the money,

01:06:43and I'll go reconcile

01:06:44with her right now.

01:06:45It's the only way

01:06:46to save the company

01:06:47and keep your lifestyle.

01:06:48If you don't,

01:06:48the court will seize

01:06:49everything anyway.

01:06:50But I...

01:06:51The company is my life.

01:06:53If you won't give me

01:06:53the money to save it,

01:06:54then today is the end

01:06:55for both of us.

01:06:56Okay, okay.

01:06:57I'll transfer it.

01:06:58Just let go of me.

01:06:59Transfer the money

01:06:59to me right now.

01:07:04Done.

01:07:04It's sent.

01:07:06I asked nicely before.

01:07:08Now,

01:07:08you don't get a choice.

01:07:13I'll give you

01:07:13half of the assets.

01:07:14I'll also give you

01:07:15half of the 61%

01:07:16state by currently holding.

01:07:18You have no objections.

01:07:19Sign the property

01:07:20settlement.

01:07:24Oh?

01:07:25Why are you being

01:07:26so cooperative this time?

01:07:28Prescott Development Group

01:07:29can't afford to drag

01:07:30this out any longer.

01:07:31Is that the answer

01:07:32you wanted?

01:07:34But I'm still having fun,

01:07:35Julian.

01:07:36I'm nowhere near

01:07:37finished with you.

01:07:38Sophie,

01:07:39don't push this too far.

01:07:40I've already made

01:07:41the biggest concession

01:07:42I can.

01:07:42You're the one

01:07:43begging me for mercy.

01:07:44Are you sure

01:07:45that's the tone

01:07:45you want to use?

01:07:46You...

01:07:47Mrs. Wittner,

01:07:48even if the court

01:07:49issues a ruling,

01:07:50the outcome

01:07:50would be substantially

01:07:51the same.

01:07:52If Prescott Development

01:07:53Group goes bankrupt,

01:07:54none of this

01:07:55will have any value

01:07:56to you.

01:07:56Wouldn't you agree?

01:07:58The agreement

01:07:59checks out.

01:08:00Everything is clean.

01:08:02All right.

01:08:06Now you can lift

01:08:07the restrictions

01:08:07on Prescott Development

01:08:08Group, right?

01:08:09The divorce comes first.

01:08:10Once it's finalized,

01:08:12I'll lift the restrictions.

01:08:13After all,

01:08:14I'm now a major shareholder

01:08:15in Prescott Development

01:08:16Group 2.

01:08:16I have no interest

01:08:17in losing money.

01:08:18Do you?

01:08:25That's it?

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

01:08:28Not a chance.

01:08:29I meant what I said.

01:08:31I'm going to ruin him

01:08:32till he has nothing left.

01:08:36Uncle Charlie,

01:08:37I've thought it over.

01:08:38I'm ready to talk

01:08:39through the partnership now.

01:08:41Sophie,

01:08:42I've been waiting

01:08:43for your call

01:08:43for three days.

01:08:45Then I'll come over shortly.

01:08:46And we can catch up.

01:08:48Sounds good.

01:08:49I'll have the most

01:08:50delicious pastries

01:08:51waiting for you.

01:08:54This Uncle Charlie is?

01:08:55Charles Dawson.

01:08:56He's the powerhouse

01:08:57behind Libra Capital

01:08:58and a childhood friend

01:08:59of my father's.

01:09:00Two years ago,

01:09:01he threw Julian

01:09:02a financial inline

01:09:03in exchange

01:09:03for a 12% stake.

01:09:0512% plus the 17%

01:09:07Derek is holding

01:09:08on Julian's behalf,

01:09:09that makes 29%.

01:09:11And Julian has to give me

01:09:12at least half

01:09:13of the 61% stake

01:09:15under his name.

01:09:16Then your total stake

01:09:18will exceed 50%.

01:09:20Exactly.

01:09:21The outcome of this battle

01:09:22was decided

01:09:23from the very beginning.

01:09:25Julian simply had no idea.

01:09:27Holy shit,

01:09:29you're a fucking genius.

01:09:36I'm one of Prescott

01:09:37Development Group groups now.

01:09:38Set up a shareholders meeting.

01:09:40There is something

01:09:40important I 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% stake.

01:09:52Please welcome her.

01:10:01I call for Julian's

01:10:03immediate removal

01:10:04as chairman

01:10:04and from the board.

01:10:06Sophie,

01:10:06are you out of

01:10:07your goddamn mind?

01:10:11Let's put it

01:10:11to a show of hands.

01:10:12Sophie,

01:10:14holding the same percentage

01:10:15of shares

01:10:15doesn't make you my equal.

01:10:17I built and ran

01:10:18Prescott Development Group

01:10:19for years.

01:10:20You can't just walk

01:10:21through the door

01:10:22and kick me out

01:10:22of my own company.

01:10:23You're delusional.

01:10:28Derek,

01:10:30what do you think

01:10:31you're doing?

01:10:32You're my cousin.

01:10:33You're only holding

01:10:34those shares on my behalf.

01:10:35How dare you betray me?

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

01:10:38This company only succeeded

01:10:40because of Sophie.

01:10:41I mean,

01:10:42Ms. Whitmer

01:10:42putting her in charge

01:10:43is the best thing

01:10:44that could happen

01:10:44to Prescott Development Group.

01:10:46I agree.

01:10:47Mr. Dawson,

01:10:48what exactly

01:10:49did Sophie offer you?

01:10:51I bought those shares

01:10:52because of Sophie,

01:10:53Mr. Prescott.

01:10:54Without her,

01:10:56I never would have believed

01:10:57in your company,

01:10:58let alone invested

01:10:59a single dime.

01:11:00You.

01:11:01Of course,

01:11:02business is business.

01:11:03The company's interests

01:11:04come before everything else.

01:11:06Your personal affairs

01:11:07have already seriously damaged

01:11:09its share price

01:11:10and reputation.

01:11:11As a shareholder,

01:11:12I have a responsibility

01:11:13to protect my investment.

01:11:21The vote carries.

01:11:23As of today,

01:11:24Prescott Development Group

01:11:25will officially become

01:11:26Wiltmore Development Group.

01:11:28You!

01:11:28You're destroying me.

01:11:30You're taking

01:11:30Prescott Development Group away.

01:11:32You're just stealing it.

01:11:35You're destroying me.

01:11:36You're taking

01:11:36Prescott Development Group away.

01:11:38You're just stealing it.

01:11:39It's already over, Julian.

01:11:40Prescott Development Group

01:11:41is gone tomorrow.

01:11:42I'm sending in a management team

01:11:43to structure every single asset.

01:11:45I'm building a new company

01:11:46on the ashes.

01:11:47I'm planning to dilute

01:11:49my shares, too?

01:11:50If you have an objection,

01:11:50keep it to yourself.

01:11:52Your opinion

01:11:52no longer matters here.

01:11:55Come on, Sophie.

01:11:56You win.

01:11:56You took everything.

01:11:57Prescott Development Group

01:11:58is yours now.

01:11:59In addition,

01:12:00Ms. Whitmore,

01:12:01regarding the shares

01:12:02currently under my name.

01:12:03Out of that 17%,

01:12:042% becomes yours.

01:12:06Transfer 5% to George for me.

01:12:08The rest comes directly to me.

01:12:09Thank you, Ms. Whitmore.

01:12:10Thank you so much.

01:12:11We're done here.

01:12:12Meeting adjourned.

01:12:15Julian,

01:12:16you're back.

01:12:17You're officially divorced now.

01:12:19We can finally be together

01:12:20and get married.

01:12:21Before she had the baby,

01:12:22this was exactly how

01:12:23she pretended to be innocent.

01:12:25What's wrong, sweetheart?

01:12:26Why are you looking at me like that?

01:12:32Honey,

01:12:33we need to give our child

01:12:34a complete family,

01:12:35don't we?

01:12:36Fine.

01:12:37We can get married,

01:12:38but understand this clearly.

01:12:39I'm doing it for my son,

01:12:41not for you.

01:12:41But you won't receive any shares.

01:12:43All of my assets

01:12:45will be premarital property.

01:12:46What?

01:12:47No,

01:12:48you have to give me

01:12:48half of the shares.

01:12:49You promised me.

01:12:50You still have the nerve

01:12:51to ask me for shares?

01:12:52Because of you,

01:12:53I was removed from the board.

01:12:54Prescott Development Group

01:12:55belongs to Sophie now.

01:12:56What did you say?

01:12:57Prescott Development Group

01:12:58no longer exists.

01:13:00Sophie renamed it

01:13:01Whitmore Development Group,

01:13:02and the board

01:13:02threw me out of my own company.

01:13:04How did this happen?

01:13:06That's all because of you.

01:13:08Prescott Development Group

01:13:09is gone,

01:13:09and at least half

01:13:10of my remaining shares

01:13:11will be diving.

01:13:11You made this mess, Julian,

01:13:13so stop crying victim.

01:13:14You promised me shares,

01:13:15and I expect you to deliver,

01:13:17even if it's 5%

01:13:18out 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.

01:13:24Watch your legacy

01:13:25end with you.

01:13:27Don't you dare.

01:13:30Try me.

01:13:31What's going on again?

01:13:33Why are you arguing again?

01:13:35Don't hurt the baby!

01:13:36Back off!

01:13:37Keep your hands off my baby.

01:13:40Mom, are you okay?

01:13:41I'm okay.

01:13:46Bitch!

01:13:47How dare you push my mother!

01:13:49I don't care about anything else.

01:13:51Give me my shares,

01:13:51yes or no.

01:13:53Give me back my baby!

01:13:58Mom, take my son and go.

01:14:01Mom, take my son and go.

01:14:06Bring my son back!

01:14:08Give me my baby!

01:14:13Vivi,

01:14:14you like scheming so much,

01:14:15but from now on,

01:14:16don't even think about

01:14:16seeing my son again.

01:14:18I won't be threatened

01:14:19by you anymore.

01:14:22No!

01:14:22Come back!

01:14:24You can't take him from me!

01:14:26Give me my child!

01:14:29If you walk away with my son,

01:14:32Vivian, please calm down.

01:14:34Whatever you want,

01:14:35we can discuss it.

01:14:36Julian, give me back my child

01:14:37and give me the shares.

01:14:39You promised me both!

01:14:40You are never getting my son back.

01:14:42Forget it.

01:14:43Julian, don't say that.

01:14:45Mom, she's only trying to scare us.

01:14:46Please, stop!

01:14:53Don't you stand there!

01:14:54Call 911!

01:14:59Grandpa,

01:15:00I put together

01:15:01the integration plan

01:15:02for Whitmore Materials Group

01:15:03and Prescott Development Group.

01:15:04Take a look

01:15:04when you have a minute.

01:15:05You don't need my approval

01:15:07for things like this anymore.

01:15:08I trust your judgment.

01:15:09Grandpa.

01:15:10You lost your parents so young

01:15:12and I'm not going to be around forever.

01:15:15You're the last of the Whitmerians.

01:15:16This legacy was always meant for you.

01:15:19I promise, Grandpa,

01:15:20I won't disappoint you.

01:15:22I believe Whitmore Materials Group

01:15:23will do even better

01:15:24for you.

01:15:33Doctor, how is she?

01:15:35The patient's spine

01:15:37is severely damaged.

01:15:38Although her life

01:15:39has been saved,

01:15:40but she may be paralyzed

01:15:43for life in the future.

01:15:47How did it all come to this?

01:15:50We had a good family once.

01:15:52How did everything

01:15:53fall apart so fast?

01:15:55It's karma.

01:15:55This is our punishment.

01:15:59Yeah, this is our punishment.

01:16:01Every bit of it.

01:16:25I will give you

01:16:25the whole world.

01:16:32What have I done?

01:16:34She gave me everything

01:16:35and I destroyed it

01:16:36with my own hands.

01:16:42I was wrong.

01:16:43God, I was so wrong.

01:16:51I can't undo any of it.

01:16:53I can never get her back.

01:16:56Never again.

01:17:00Fell off the rooftop?

01:17:02Is she okay?

01:17:03The spine was injured

01:17:04and the doctor said

01:17:05it's very likely

01:17:06she'll be paralyzed for life

01:17:07with little chance of recovery.

01:17:09Call it karma.

01:17:10She wanted to be the mistress

01:17:11and destroy a family

01:17:12so she had no one

01:17:13to blame but herself.

01:17:15All right.

01:17:16That's enough.

01:17:16Leave me alone for a moment.

01:17:18Of course, Miss Whitwear.

01:17:23Julian.

01:17:28Julian.

01:17:29Shouldn't you be at the hospital

01:17:30with your little sweetheart?

01:17:31Why are you here?

01:17:33Sophie, I know I have no right

01:17:35to ask anything of you

01:17:36after what I did

01:17:37but there's one thing

01:17:38I need you to agree with.

01:17:40Go ahead.

01:17:41But I'm not promising

01:17:42I'll agree.

01:17:45Buy out all the shares

01:17:46I have left.

01:17:49What's your price?

01:17:51$400,000.

01:17:56Julie, you're crazy!

01:17:5830% of the stock

01:17:59is enough to ensure

01:18:00you'll worry

01:18:01for life's your life.

01:18:02How could you suffer

01:18:02just for my dollars?

01:18:03Vivian is still lying

01:18:04in the hospital

01:18:05and your kid

01:18:05needs your support.

01:18:07I said $400,000.

01:18:09I gave you $400,000

01:18:11to get started

01:18:1110 years ago.

01:18:13Are you giving everything

01:18:14back because you finally

01:18:15want to make amends?

01:18:16Or are you taking

01:18:17the same $400,000

01:18:18and trying to be

01:18:19desperate to prove

01:18:20that your success

01:18:20was ever truly yours?

01:18:22Julian, don't do this.

01:18:23You're throwing everything away.

01:18:29I'll buy them.

01:18:35my son.

01:18:37Give it back to me.

01:18:38Vivian,

01:18:39you can't even move.

01:18:40We'll talk about it

01:18:41when you're doing better.

01:18:43I want it now!

01:18:44Give me back my son!

01:18:46That's my child!

01:18:47What right does your family

01:18:48have to take my child away?

01:18:50You're all a bunch of liars!

01:19:01Julian!

01:19:01You lying bastard!

01:19:04What are you screaming about?

01:19:05You can't move.

01:19:06How are you supposed

01:19:07to take care of a baby?

01:19:08You've been giving me

01:19:08my 30%.

01:19:09You promised me

01:19:10those shares, Julian!

01:19:11You are the reason

01:19:12I'm trapped in this bed!

01:19:13You owe me!

01:19:14The shares?

01:19:16They're gone.

01:19:18What?

01:19:20I sold all of my shares.

01:19:22You sold all of it?

01:19:24Go ahead.

01:19:25Guess what my entire

01:19:26stake was worth in the end.

01:19:27I don't care what you got

01:19:28for them.

01:19:28Just give me the money!

01:19:29I sold all of it

01:19:30for $400,000.

01:19:32$400,000?

01:19:33You gave away

01:19:3430% of the company

01:19:35for $400,000?

01:19:37Julian, are you insane?

01:19:39How are our son

01:19:40and I supposed to live?

01:19:41Didn't you go to

01:19:42great lengths to marry me

01:19:43and become Mrs. Prescott?

01:19:44We'll get married

01:19:45after you're discharged

01:19:46from the hospital

01:19:46and I'll let you be

01:19:47the legitimate

01:19:48Mrs. Prescott

01:19:49for the rest of your life.

01:19:50Right and wrong

01:19:51stop mattering a long time ago.

01:19:54Relax, Vivian.

01:19:56I won't leave you

01:19:56just because you're paralyzed.

01:19:58I'll be by your side

01:19:59for the rest of your life.

01:20:00You wanted me so badly.

01:20:01Now we can spend

01:20:02every remaining day

01:20:03destroying each other.

01:20:04No, I don't want

01:20:05to tether you anymore.

01:20:07Get away from me.

01:20:07I'd rather die

01:20:08than spend my life with you.

01:20:10Julian.

01:20:11Mom, Sophie gave me

01:20:12$400,000.

01:20:13Ten years

01:20:13have made my success possible.

01:20:15I sold every share

01:20:16back to her

01:20:17for exactly $400,000.

01:20:19The public statement

01:20:20is out

01:20:20and the agreement

01:20:21has been notorized.

01:20:22There is no undoing it now.

01:20:23This is the debt

01:20:24I owe her.

01:20:25Maybe this is

01:20:26how it has to end.

01:20:27At least now

01:20:28you've finally repaid

01:20:29what you owed her.

01:20:30Sophie!

01:20:31Again!

01:20:32Why does she get everything?

01:20:34Why are you all

01:20:35punishing me?

01:20:36Tell that bitch

01:20:37to give me my money back!

01:20:39Go ahead.

01:20:40Keep screaming.

01:20:41You can't go anywhere.

01:20:43Once you wear yourself out

01:20:44at least we'll get

01:20:44some peace and quiet.

01:20:46I rebuilt Prescott Development Group

01:20:48and got it running again.

01:20:49Sierra Towers

01:20:50was delivered

01:20:51right on schedule.

01:20:52Star Heaven Bay

01:20:52sold out

01:20:53on its very first day

01:20:54with $150 million

01:20:55in sales.

01:20:56Once Whitmore Materials Group

01:20:58and Prescott Development Group

01:20:59completed their integration

01:21:00we controlled

01:21:01the entire supply chain

01:21:03from top to bottom.

01:21:04Our combined

01:21:05valuation soared

01:21:06past $2.25 billion.

01:21:11Where's Sophie?

01:21:12Make her come here

01:21:13and see me!

01:21:14Vivian

01:21:14if you keep causing trouble

01:21:16we'll bring you out.

01:21:17Exactly.

01:21:18After what you've done

01:21:19you still have the nerve

01:21:20to come looking for Ms. Whitmore.

01:21:21Have you no shame?

01:21:23I lost the shares

01:21:24and the money.

01:21:25Why the hell

01:21:25should I care about shame?

01:21:26Get that bitch Sophie

01:21:28out here!

01:21:29What's going on here?

01:21:33You bitch!

01:21:34Give me back the money

01:21:35and the shares!

01:21:36They were supposed to be mine

01:21:37and my son's!

01:21:48Are you done making the scene?

01:21:50Julian, that bitch

01:21:51called you here

01:21:51to throw me out

01:21:52didn't she?

01:21:53I am not going anywhere.

01:21:54I would rather die right here

01:21:55than leave without my shares.

01:21:56Fine.

01:21:57If you're not leaving

01:21:57neither am I.

01:21:58I'll sit right here

01:21:59for as long as you want

01:21:59to keep this up.

01:22:04Later

01:22:04Julian took Vivian

01:22:06and left the city.

01:22:08I heard that

01:22:09when Vivian left

01:22:10she cursed

01:22:11Julian

01:22:11Margaret

01:22:12and me.

01:22:13Years later

01:22:14I heard from Derek

01:22:15that Julian and Vivian

01:22:16had been torturing

01:22:17each other painfully

01:22:17all along.

01:22:18By their 40s

01:22:19they looked like

01:22:20they were in 60s.
