You Messed With the Heiress

Vicente Cavalida

Ava Reed suffers total contempt from her stepmother and stepsister, who mistake her for a wedding crasher. Little do they know, she owns 67% of Sinclair. Her father sacrifices her to secure a deal that she handed him in the first place. He's about to discover what his betrayal costs him when Ava reveals who really runs the show.

00:00:00Who are we waiting for with all this security?

00:00:03Quiet. Don't piss off our new boss.

00:00:12Welcome home, Ms. Reed.

00:00:14Five years away at school, I finally graduated, and I'm home.

00:00:18Ms. Reed, under your mother's family trust,

00:00:21now you can inherit 67% of Sinclair Group and all the trust assets.

00:00:27Later, I have something more important to do.

00:00:38Ava? I'm sorry. I've been so busy with the wedding.

00:00:41I'll come get you right now.

00:00:45It's okay, Dad. Today's your big day. I can get there myself.

00:00:49Ava, you come first.

00:00:51If you're not okay with this, I'll call off the wedding.

00:00:53Dad, Mom's been gone for years. You deserve to move on.

00:00:57Thank you, sweetheart. Laura got me through the hardest days after your mom died.

00:01:01She's the kindest woman I know.

00:01:05She has a daughter, too.

00:01:08Chloe's your age.

00:01:09She's sweet and well-mannered.

00:01:12We're going to be a great family.

00:01:13Then I can't wait to meet them.

00:01:19Congratulations. You now control America's largest conglomerate.

00:01:23Your father's company is trying to land a Sinclair project.

00:01:26Give him the project as a wedding gift.

00:01:28Get the ocean heart from my vault. Send it to my stepmom before the wedding.

00:01:34Which dress would you like for the wedding?

00:01:36They're too much. The bride should be the center of attention.

00:01:44With Mom's heirloom necklace, this dress is enough.

00:01:48Get the helicopter ready. Escort Miss Reed to the wedding.

00:01:51Stop. That's way too much. I'll take a cab.

00:01:54Wait. Don't follow me.

00:02:02So this is David's coming-of-age gift for his precious daughter?

00:02:06Be patient.

00:02:07Eve is his whole world.

00:02:08I've played nice for years to land him.

00:02:10We're not going back to the staff quarters.

00:02:11I know. Marrying into the Reed family is just the first step.

00:02:14One day,

00:02:16everything she has will be mine.

00:02:20Okay.

00:02:27Time to meet my new family.

00:02:29I'll get it fixed.

00:02:39I'm sorry. I...

00:02:41How dare you break my watch!

00:02:46Pay for it?

00:02:47This watch costs a fortune.

00:02:49Selling you wouldn't even cover it.

00:02:51I know it's my fault,

00:02:52but you shouldn't compare a person to a watch.

00:02:55A broke nobody like you wants to lecture me?

00:02:59Chloe, stop.

00:03:01Chloe?

00:03:02My new sister?

00:03:04She's not quite what Dad described.

00:03:07I'm sorry.

00:03:08My daughter got carried away.

00:03:10She must be Laura.

00:03:11Dad was right.

00:03:12She seems so kind.

00:03:14Maybe we really can become a family.

00:03:16Are you here for the wedding?

00:03:17Yes.

00:03:19Chloe, you scared our guest.

00:03:23May I see your invitation?

00:03:24Which family are you from?

00:03:26Why would I need an invitation to my own dad's wedding?

00:03:30I don't have one.

00:03:35No invitation?

00:03:36I don't need one.

00:03:37I'm...

00:03:38I knew it.

00:03:39Look at those cheap clothes.

00:03:40She's no heiress.

00:03:41Mom, she snuck in for free food.

00:03:44Is money and clothes all you judge people by?

00:03:46Maybe you should learn from your mom.

00:03:48You broke, classless little nobody.

00:03:51You crashed my wedding and ruined my daughter's million dollar watch?

00:03:54You were just being nice.

00:03:56I save that for people who matter.

00:03:59Not trash like you crashing a rich family's wedding for free food.

00:04:04So all that kindness was fake?

00:04:12Does Mr. Reed know you're only nice to people with status?

00:04:16Or have you been faking it with him too?

00:04:18You little nobody.

00:04:19How dare you talk to my mom like that?

00:04:22Your life isn't worth one diamond on this watch.

00:04:26Wait.

00:04:27This isn't your watch.

00:04:31And this?

00:04:32If it only fell, how did the strap break?

00:04:36It was you.

00:04:37You broke it and tried to blame me.

00:04:39Boss, the watch shop just delivered.

00:04:41Ava's custom watch to Laura.

00:04:43Great.

00:04:43It took six months to make.

00:04:45Good thing it got here before Ava did.

00:04:47We should go welcome Ava.

00:04:52What happened, Laura?

00:04:53She broke Mr. Reed's gift for Ava.

00:04:56Take her to the storage room.

00:04:57She'll apologize on her knees when Ava gets here.

00:05:01Mr. Reed treasures his daughter.

00:05:03You're dead.

00:05:04Is this how you handle things?

00:05:05Framing me and using force to cover it up?

00:05:07You little bitch.

00:05:09If this wasn't my wedding, I'd throw you in the backyard.

00:05:12Alligator pond.

00:05:13There won't be a wedding.

00:05:14I'll never let someone so fake and vicious marry my father.

00:05:18Your father?

00:05:19Wait, are you...

00:05:24Ava?

00:05:30Ava?

00:05:32Boss, it's Sinclair Group.

00:05:35What?

00:05:44Sinclair is giving us the North Star Project?

00:05:46Mr. Reed doesn't know Ava is Sinclair's new heir.

00:05:48She wants to tell her dad herself.

00:05:50I shouldn't say too much.

00:05:51Yes, Sinclair's new head will come to your wedding and sign the deal in person.

00:05:55Of course, I'll have everything ready.

00:05:58That's a $2.4 billion deal.

00:06:01I never thought Sinclair would notice us.

00:06:03My classmate's dad is a Sinclair executive.

00:06:05I asked him to put in a good word for us.

00:06:06Didn't think he'd move this fast.

00:06:08You're this family's lucky charm.

00:06:13Guess I was seeing things.

00:06:15Where's Ava's watch?

00:06:16She'll be here soon.

00:06:17I can't wait to tell her the good news.

00:06:21David, go get the Sinclair contract ready.

00:06:23Chloe and I can stay here and welcome Ava.

00:06:26But I promised I'd wait for her myself.

00:06:28This deal could change everything for Reed Group.

00:06:30I'm sure Ava will understand.

00:06:32Exactly.

00:06:33You can get her an even more expensive watch later.

00:06:36Fine.

00:06:36But the wedding doesn't start until Ava gets here.

00:06:39David, can I see a picture of Ava?

00:06:42I've never met her.

00:06:49Let her go.

00:06:53Now you know I'm Ava.

00:06:54Tell my dad to call off the wedding and I'll forget about the watch you broke.

00:06:58Let us off?

00:06:59Ridiculous.

00:06:59With a VIP coming, Mr. Reed was going to let you off.

00:07:03You watch Breaking Liar and you still talk big.

00:07:08See?

00:07:09That's Ava Reed.

00:07:11Blonde and classy.

00:07:12Not some liar in a cheap dress.

00:07:14We rarely took photos at school.

00:07:17That's from two years ago.

00:07:18I dyed my hair later.

00:07:19Died it?

00:07:20How long are you going to keep lying?

00:07:21Ava's a real heiress.

00:07:23Not some girl in an old dress and cheap necklace.

00:07:26This dress is comfortable.

00:07:27And...

00:07:31Enough.

00:07:32Finally got a clue?

00:07:34A freeloader like you isn't worth a strand of her hair.

00:07:37If you're Ava Reed, I'm the president.

00:07:39Are they all ganging up on that girl?

00:07:41Even the bride?

00:07:42I heard she was sweet and kind.

00:07:45Everyone.

00:07:46She crashed my wedding for free food.

00:07:48She broke my husband's million-dollar gift for his daughter.

00:07:52She even claims to be David's daughter.

00:07:54And threatened to ruin my wedding.

00:07:58My sister is too kind.

00:08:00This is all that liar's fault.

00:08:02So she's a fraud.

00:08:03Lock her up.

00:08:04Teach her a lesson.

00:08:05I'm not lying.

00:08:07I'm David's daughter, Ava Reed.

00:08:09Laura, you're such a hypocrite.

00:08:11No more chances.

00:08:24Don't even think about calling for help.

00:08:26That really sounded like Mr. Reed.

00:08:28It just sounded like him.

00:08:30This trash has nothing to do with my husband.

00:08:32Smashing my phone won't help.

00:08:34Dad won't start without me.

00:08:36He'll never marry into the Reed family.

00:08:38Your dad?

00:08:39Still delusional?

00:08:45You snuck in for free food?

00:08:47Fine.

00:08:48I'll feed you.

00:08:49What are you doing?

00:08:50No, stop!

00:08:54You wanted free food?

00:08:56Eat all you want!

00:09:01And some wine.

00:09:02Lucky you.

00:09:08Isn't this too much?

00:09:09She could die.

00:09:10This liar broke our million dollar watch and tried to stop the wedding.

00:09:14Still think it's too much?

00:09:16Mind your own business!

00:09:17Enough.

00:09:18Let's go.

00:09:20Meet the real Ava.

00:09:27Honey?

00:09:28Laura, did you meet Ava?

00:09:30No.

00:09:30What's wrong?

00:09:31It's strange.

00:09:32She called, then hung up.

00:09:34Now I can't reach her.

00:09:35Why can't you reach her?

00:09:37Could it be...

00:09:40Could it be...

00:09:45She's...

00:09:47Dad!

00:09:49Ava?

00:09:53Dad!

00:09:55Laura, is Ava with you?

00:09:57I thought I heard her.

00:10:00That was me.

00:10:02Mom and I were messing around.

00:10:03I got a little loud.

00:10:04But I heard someone yell, Dad.

00:10:06You're marrying Mom soon.

00:10:07I couldn't wait to call you Dad.

00:10:09You don't mind, right?

00:10:11Not at all.

00:10:12We're about to be family.

00:10:15What do we do?

00:10:16If she's really Ava, the wedding's over.

00:10:18No.

00:10:19Impossible.

00:10:20I'm still worried about Ava.

00:10:22I'm going to find her.

00:10:28Sir, Ava's wedding gift for Laura just arrived.

00:10:33It's the Ocean Heart set.

00:10:35Worth five million dollars.

00:10:36Laura, Ava sent a gift.

00:10:38She's fine.

00:10:39Such a precious gift.

00:10:41She really supports our age.

00:10:42You'll get along great.

00:10:44Ava is so gracious and generous.

00:10:46I'll treat her like my own daughter.

00:10:48I really did want us to be a family once.

00:10:50The real Ava sent a gift.

00:10:52Who are you still trying to fool?

00:10:53The Ocean Heart.

00:10:55A royal blue sapphire from the Stinclair Collection.

00:10:58Five million.

00:10:59Only one exists.

00:11:00How do you know what the gift is?

00:11:01Because I sent it.

00:11:03And I can take it back anytime.

00:11:04Cut the act.

00:11:05You just overheard the call.

00:11:09The real Ava sent five million in jewels?

00:11:13She'd never wear a cheap necklace like this.

00:11:16No!

00:11:16Don't touch it!

00:11:20Let go!

00:11:21It's a Stinclair heirloom over a century old.

00:11:24My mom left it to me.

00:11:25The Stinclairs?

00:11:29Faking Ava wasn't enough?

00:11:31Now you're a Stinclair too?

00:11:32The Stinclairs are a hundred times bigger than Reed Group.

00:11:35You pathetic fraud.

00:11:37Engraving Stinclair on junk doesn't make it their heirloom.

00:11:40No!

00:11:41A Stinclair ancestor made it by hand.

00:11:43It represents our family.

00:11:45It's one of a kind!

00:11:46Liar.

00:11:47Even their scrap diamonds are worth more than this junk.

00:11:51Stop now.

00:11:53Who are you to forgive us?

00:11:56No.

00:11:56She's more than just a freeloader.

00:11:59Now she's posing as a Stinclair.

00:12:01She's a corporate spy trying to sabotage our deal.

00:12:05She dared impersonate the top family in real estate?

00:12:08She's done.

00:12:10Perfect chance to prove ourselves to Stinclair.

00:12:12Start a live stream.

00:12:19Today, I'll punish this fraud for posing as a Stinclair.

00:12:24Starting with this fake necklace.

00:12:26No!

00:12:29That psycho hurt Ava and tried to destroy our family heirloom?

00:12:33There must be a misunderstanding.

00:12:34No misunderstanding.

00:12:36Let's go.

00:12:42Stop.

00:12:44Break it, and you'll make an enemy of the entire Stinclair family.

00:12:49We'll see.

00:12:54No!

00:12:58I'm sorry, Mom.

00:12:59I couldn't protect what you left me.

00:13:02Still pretending?

00:13:04Love this junk so much, I'll shove every piece into your skin.

00:13:09Enough!

00:13:09I swear I'll put you and your mother in prison.

00:13:14You're a fake.

00:13:16How dare you act cocky?

00:13:17She hasn't learned yet.

00:13:19I'll punish this fraud on behalf of the Stinclairs.

00:13:26Now the real show starts.

00:13:29What?

00:13:30Someone's causing trouble at my wedding?

00:13:33Your wedding is blowing up online.

00:13:35Stinclair's new head is coming.

00:13:37I can't let this ruin the deal.

00:13:38Your fiancé is punishing someone posing as a Stinclair in the lobby.

00:13:41Let's go.

00:13:42Almost forgot.

00:13:43This freeloader still needs her main course.

00:13:49A 356-degree griddle with melted butter.

00:13:52Now enjoy.

00:13:54No.

00:13:55Please.

00:13:56You can't do this.

00:13:58It's a crime.

00:13:58See?

00:13:59More people are watching.

00:14:00Push her down.

00:14:01Please.

00:14:02Don't do this.

00:14:06Please let me go.

00:14:08The Stinclair family will love this little show.

00:14:14No!

00:14:18Stop!

00:14:25Let me go, please.

00:14:28A fake iris causing trouble at a Reed wedding.

00:14:31Stop!

00:14:32What are you doing?

00:14:36Sir, Noah Grant is on his way.

00:14:38He'll be here soon.

00:14:40He's coming himself.

00:14:42Yes.

00:14:42I'll meet Noah.

00:14:43You handle the lobby.

00:14:45The head of Stinclair is on his way.

00:14:47If he sees this, the deal's in trouble.

00:14:49Daniel, you got it wrong.

00:14:50She posed as Ava and the Stinclair.

00:14:52The Stinclairs care about bloodline.

00:14:54We're just punishing this fraud for them.

00:14:55Exactly.

00:14:56The Stinclairs will thank us.

00:14:58Wait.

00:14:59Uncle Daniel, it's me.

00:15:02You saw me on video calls with Dad.

00:15:04She's playing you.

00:15:07I really am, Ava.

00:15:09Shut up.

00:15:12Daniel, help me.

00:15:14Daniel, help me.

00:15:18Stop.

00:15:19No.

00:15:21That's Ava.

00:15:26Are you sure this nobody is Ava?

00:15:29Someone in the live screen recognized her.

00:15:31She does look familiar.

00:15:33You believe some idiots online?

00:15:35They're trolls.

00:15:36They just want more drama.

00:15:38Look, someone says she's Stinclair's new head.

00:15:42We're done?

00:15:43Please.

00:15:44If she's Stinclair's new head, I'm the president.

00:15:47Scammers would say anything now.

00:15:48She even claims she's a Stinclair.

00:15:50Do you know who the Stinclairs are?

00:15:53Even Reed Group looks up to them.

00:15:57They think my warning is a joke?

00:16:00They don't know it was you.

00:16:02Idiots.

00:16:03Call David.

00:16:04Now.

00:16:05Calling him now.

00:16:07His daughter's being abused.

00:16:08Where the hell is he?

00:16:11A girl in an old dress claims she's a Stinclair?

00:16:14I'm not lying.

00:16:18Call the police.

00:16:19Help me.

00:16:27Miss Miller?

00:16:28Does Mr. Grant need anything?

00:16:29Forget that.

00:16:30Your daughter is being abused in the lobby.

00:16:33What?

00:16:35Check the live stream.

00:16:37Now.

00:16:38The stream's gone?

00:16:40What happened?

00:16:42You called for help?

00:16:43The police?

00:16:45I won't let you ruin my wedding.

00:16:49Game over.

00:16:56Let me go.

00:16:58Someone must have called the cops.

00:16:59You're done.

00:17:01You posed as my stepdaughter.

00:17:04Teaching you a lesson isn't a crime.

00:17:06I am, Ava.

00:17:08You'll know when the cops get here.

00:17:12Still won't give up?

00:17:14Owen.

00:17:15Show her what Daniel gave me.

00:17:20See this?

00:17:21The real Ava gave it to me.

00:17:23A broke beggar like you could never afford it.

00:17:26You'll never marry my father.

00:17:28And that necklace is not yours.

00:17:33All talk, you fraud.

00:17:38Honey, what's wrong?

00:17:40Laura, what did you do to my daughter?

00:17:45Honey, what are you talking about?

00:17:47We haven't met Ava yet.

00:17:49The girl you were punishing in the lobby is Ava.

00:17:55No, David.

00:17:56We only punished an imposter.

00:17:58She's not Ava.

00:18:01That girl.

00:18:02Move closer.

00:18:04Let me see her face.

00:18:06No need.

00:18:07Would Ava really wear that to your wedding?

00:18:09Ava always loved princess dresses.

00:18:12The real Ava sent me the ocean heart while this fraud was outside.

00:18:16They can't be the same person.

00:18:19But someone from Sinclair Group told me the girl you hurt was Ava.

00:18:23They haven't even met you.

00:18:25How would they know your daughter?

00:18:26They probably saw the stream and believed the comments.

00:18:30The stream was full of trolls.

00:18:32Someone even called her Sinclair's president.

00:18:34So it was a stunt.

00:18:36You shouldn't have gone live.

00:18:37It could hurt the deal.

00:18:39It's her fault.

00:18:40She knew we got the North Star Project,

00:18:43so she posed as a Sinclair to sabotage us.

00:18:46What?

00:18:47That reckless fraud?

00:18:49We know the Sinclairs value bloodline.

00:18:52We went live to punish her for them.

00:18:55Good.

00:18:56Get her out of here.

00:18:57Don't let her ruin the deal.

00:19:03Little liar.

00:19:04Now you're in real trouble.

00:19:08No!

00:19:14No, don't!

00:19:18Help!

00:19:21Crawl.

00:19:23Keep going.

00:19:24Get her on camera.

00:19:26Let everyone see what happens when you fake being a Sinclair.

00:19:31Help me!

00:19:33Please!

00:19:35I'm not a fraud!

00:19:37Once you're dead, no one can prove who you are.

00:19:45Find Ava.

00:19:46Now.

00:19:47Why won't Ava answer?

00:19:49What if something happened to her?

00:19:52Boss, I handled the mess outside.

00:19:55Good.

00:19:56That stupid corporate spy posed as my daughter in a Sinclair.

00:20:00She really did her homework.

00:20:02She even copied Ava's scar on her left shoulder.

00:20:05What?

00:20:06Take me to her.

00:20:07Now!

00:20:10Enough.

00:20:11Leave her here.

00:20:12We can't let her ruin your wedding.

00:20:20Wait.

00:20:24That girl.

00:20:27She really is Ava.

00:20:34Mom.

00:20:36She really is Ava.

00:20:38Shut up!

00:20:39Dad will kill us if he finds out.

00:20:41Sir, Laura and the others took that girl to the backyard.

00:20:45Dad!

00:20:46David can't find her.

00:20:48Listen.

00:20:49We finish the wedding first.

00:20:51Chloe, we'll distract David.

00:20:53Owen, keep her in the pool.

00:20:55After the wedding, we'll say she fell in by accident.

00:20:59Once she's dead, you'll be the family's only daughter.

00:21:02Got it.

00:21:04David?

00:21:05Why are you here?

00:21:06The wedding's about to start.

00:21:07Let's go.

00:21:09Where's the girl who posed as Ava?

00:21:12I'm sorry, David.

00:21:14I know you wanted to teach her a lesson, but I couldn't do it.

00:21:17I let her go.

00:21:18You let her go?

00:21:20Do you know who she is?

00:21:22Just a fraud.

00:21:24Don't let her ruin your wedding with Mom.

00:21:25Pull up the live stream.

00:21:27I need to see her face.

00:21:30We deleted it.

00:21:32Who told you to delete it?

00:21:34You said the stream could hurt Reed Group.

00:21:36We deleted it to protect the deal.

00:21:39Then tell me where she went.

00:21:41I need to see her today.

00:21:44David.

00:21:45David.

00:21:46David.

00:21:53Why do you have my daughter's student ID?

00:21:56What did you do to Ava?

00:22:01We found this ID in the ballroom.

00:22:03Ava could be waiting for us there.

00:22:05She's right.

00:22:06We've wasted enough time.

00:22:08Let's go.

00:22:11No.

00:22:12I want to see that girl first.

00:22:14Where is she?

00:22:15Help!

00:22:16Ethan says they're here.

00:22:18His dad is a Sinclair executive.

00:22:20David.

00:22:21She's just a shameless fraud.

00:22:23Don't let her distract you.

00:22:24David.

00:22:25Don't keep Sinclair waiting.

00:22:27Let's go.

00:22:29Find that girl.

00:22:31I'm going to the wedding.

00:22:33Dad!

00:22:38Ava!

00:22:39Ava!

00:22:43It was then they threw me in the alligator pond.

00:22:50You did this to my daughter?

00:22:55Who did this?

00:22:57David.

00:22:58I'm sorry.

00:22:59I didn't know she was your daughter.

00:23:01Dad.

00:23:01Forgive me.

00:23:02I was scared she'd ruin the wedding.

00:23:04So you threw her into alligator pond just because you didn't know who she was?

00:23:09And you.

00:23:14David.

00:23:14I was just following my sister.

00:23:16Shut up.

00:23:17I've been with you for years.

00:23:19I never meant for this to happen.

00:23:22Ava.

00:23:22I'm sorry.

00:23:24Hit me.

00:23:24Curse me.

00:23:25Anything.

00:23:26Just don't send us to jail.

00:23:28Did you spare me when I begged?

00:23:31Daniel.

00:23:32Throw him into the alligator pond.

00:23:34Yes, sir.

00:23:35The wedding's off.

00:23:37This ends now.

00:23:38No, David.

00:23:39I'm sorry.

00:23:41Dad, please spare us.

00:23:45Stop.

00:23:48Who are you to interfere with my family?

00:23:51Richard Walker.

00:23:53Sinclair Group Executive.

00:23:56Sinclair already knows.

00:23:58Send them to jail, and I can put North Star back under review.

00:24:02A Sinclair Group Executive?

00:24:04Don't ruin a multi-billion dollar deal over a few women.

00:24:12Ethan, help me.

00:24:14I'm here.

00:24:15I'll protect the woman I love.

00:24:17Keep the wedding going, and I'll date you after it's over.

00:24:21Hurt them, and my dad will stop Sinclair's deal with Reed Group.

00:24:26You're the one Sinclair sent to sign with me?

00:24:28The new president approved it.

00:24:30I can't sign it, but they don't know that.

00:24:32I'll play along.

00:24:34That's right.

00:24:35Mr. Walker, thank God you're here.

00:24:38One mistake, and he wants to call off the wedding.

00:24:40Please help me.

00:24:42I'll sign North Star now, but the wedding must go on.

00:24:46You're forcing my dad to marry the woman who hurt me over a deal?

00:24:49Shut up!

00:24:51I almost died.

00:24:53Kid, business isn't a game.

00:24:56My dad will never agree.

00:24:58Don't think you're that important.

00:24:59Who do you think you are?

00:25:01This is a Sinclair deal.

00:25:03Once we're married, this will all blow over.

00:25:06You're insane.

00:25:08Dad, you won't agree, right?

00:25:09You'll send them to jail, right?

00:25:13He's considering it.

00:25:15Dad.

00:25:16Ava.

00:25:18Think of the bigger picture.

00:25:24David, the deal won't wait.

00:25:26You're really marrying the woman who hurt me?

00:25:30It's only temporary.

00:25:32Temporary?

00:25:33Once North Star is signed, Reed Group will take a huge step forward.

00:25:38I can give you the best life.

00:25:42This is your idea of a good life?

00:25:44I was beaten, locked up, and thrown to alligators.

00:25:47And you want me to let it go?

00:25:49Stop making a scene.

00:25:51I'm making a scene?

00:25:53They almost killed me.

00:25:55What do you call that?

00:25:57They know they were wrong.

00:25:59And you're still marrying her?

00:26:02I have to protect the company.

00:26:04What about me?

00:26:05I'm your daughter.

00:26:06I know.

00:26:08But you still chose the company.

00:26:10Dad made himself clear.

00:26:11Take the hint.

00:26:12Shut up!

00:26:13You were gone five years.

00:26:15You really think you still matter that much?

00:26:18Dad, one last time.

00:26:20Me or the deal?

00:26:24We found Ava.

00:26:25Move.

00:26:25I don't care who's there.

00:26:27No one touches Ava again.

00:26:32David, let's talk business.

00:26:34Of course.

00:26:35It was all a misunderstanding.

00:26:37Welcome to our wedding.

00:26:39Ava, I'm sorry.

00:26:41We didn't know you were Dad's daughter.

00:26:43You're fine now.

00:26:44We're about to be family.

00:26:46We're family.

00:26:47Let it go.

00:26:48Drop the fake act.

00:26:49Dad, you won't fool me again.

00:26:51It was a misunderstanding.

00:26:53You were dressed so poorly.

00:26:55You burned me, humiliated me online,

00:26:58and threw me into the alligator pond.

00:27:00You call that a misunderstanding?

00:27:01We apologized.

00:27:03What more do you want?

00:27:05I'll never accept you as family.

00:27:08Dad, one last question.

00:27:10Me or North Star?

00:27:12Don't push this.

00:27:14Once it's signed, I can divorce Laura.

00:27:17So the wedding continues?

00:27:18Just temporary.

00:27:19You chose them.

00:27:21I chose Sinclair.

00:27:24Reed Group is doing fine.

00:27:26Is that deal worth sacrificing me and your marriage?

00:27:31Ava, grow up.

00:27:33A Sinclair deal could put Reed Group among the world's best.

00:27:37My connections got Dad this chance.

00:27:39You want to ruin it?

00:27:42Your connections?

00:27:44Just hearing you two say Sinclair is an insult to the name.

00:27:48Don't be ungrateful.

00:27:50Dad, don't let her ruin this deal.

00:27:52Dad, you'll choose me, right?

00:27:56The wedding goes on.

00:28:01So money matters more to Dad than I do.

00:28:04I was stupid to hope.

00:28:05I get it now.

00:28:06Ava, get changed and come to the wedding.

00:28:09I'm not going.

00:28:11It's my wedding.

00:28:12Not my problem anymore.

00:28:13Don't start.

00:28:14You already chose.

00:28:17Daniel, take her to get treated.

00:28:19Keep her away from the guests today.

00:28:21Yes.

00:28:22Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:28:24Don't worry.

00:28:24You won't regret this deal.

00:28:27Poor little fool.

00:28:28You really overestimated your place in Dad's heart.

00:28:31I was there for him through every bad day and every crisis.

00:28:34You came back too late.

00:28:36And now I have Sinclair Connections.

00:28:38This family doesn't need you.

00:28:40Sinclair Connections?

00:28:42You're sure you made this deal happen?

00:28:44Uh-huh.

00:28:45Jealous?

00:28:45Too bad.

00:28:48Oops.

00:28:50Enough.

00:28:52You're defending her, too?

00:28:54Once Dad marries Mom, I'll only rise higher.

00:28:58So know your place.

00:29:00Serve me and do what I say.

00:29:03Maybe, if I'm in a good mood, I'll pretend we're close sisters.

00:29:07You're lucky we even let you stay.

00:29:11Miss Reed, are you okay?

00:29:13He just wants the deal badly.

00:29:14He still cares about you most.

00:29:16Can I borrow your phone?

00:29:23Sarah, cancel the North Star deal.

00:29:26Now.

00:29:30Miss Reed, want something for the pain?

00:29:33No.

00:29:34My heart hurts worse.

00:29:36The pain keeps me clear-headed.

00:29:39Ava.

00:29:41Who are you?

00:29:42I'm your cousin.

00:29:45I'm sorry we came too late.

00:29:47I thought no one was coming.

00:29:52Who did this?

00:29:53Laura, Chloe, and Dad.

00:29:57David, too?

00:30:02Your mother left you more than shares.

00:30:04Sinclair's kept Reed Group aflaude for years.

00:30:07Your mother helped make him what he is today.

00:30:09How dare he treat you like this?

00:30:12Check Reed Group's taxes, financing, and deals from the last five years.

00:30:16Yes.

00:30:18I want proof of every lie they tell him.

00:30:22What do you want to do?

00:30:25Let's go to the wedding first.

00:30:27You sure?

00:30:27I want to see what he chooses.

00:30:30David Reed, do you take Laura Bell as your wife?

00:30:33Yes.

00:30:35Laura Bell, do you take David Reed as your husband?

00:30:38Yes.

00:30:40North Star's canceled?

00:30:42Why?

00:30:43No!

00:30:52Ava, feeling better?

00:30:54Here to congratulate us?

00:30:56You call getting hurt this bad resting?

00:30:59And who are you?

00:31:00Ava, we don't have seats for all your friends.

00:31:03No need.

00:31:04We're not here to celebrate.

00:31:06The deal's canceled.

00:31:08Still getting married?

00:31:09How do you know?

00:31:10Are you here to gloat?

00:31:11Forget that!

00:31:13Why did Sinclair cancel the deal?

00:31:15I kept the wedding going like you said.

00:31:17What went wrong?

00:31:18I have no say in the deal.

00:31:20I was just bluffing until the wedding ended.

00:31:23I know.

00:31:25Sinclair must have found out your daughter posed as one of them.

00:31:29Exactly.

00:31:30My dad got Reed Group the win, and she ruined it.

00:31:33You claim you got North Star?

00:31:35That's bold.

00:31:36You work for Sinclair?

00:31:38Of course.

00:31:39I'm in management.

00:31:40I've never seen you.

00:31:42Do you know Noah Grant?

00:31:43Sinclair's acting president?

00:31:45I heard his name at the warehouse.

00:31:46Of course.

00:31:48He's Sinclair's acting president.

00:31:50We're close.

00:31:51Really?

00:31:52Then who am I?

00:31:53Who cares?

00:31:55Ava's classmate?

00:31:56Want me to get you into Sinclair?

00:31:58Funny.

00:32:00My good friend doesn't recognize me?

00:32:02I'm Noah Grant.

00:32:13Take care, sir.

00:32:15Who is that?

00:32:16Why so respectful?

00:32:17Mr. Noah Grant, Sinclair's acting president.

00:32:20He runs the company.

00:32:21The man in charge can't be that young.

00:32:23The old guy was Noah Grant.

00:32:25You're a shameless liar.

00:32:27Noah Grant is in his 60s.

00:32:29How dare you pretend to be him?

00:32:33Ava, posing as a Sinclair wasn't enough?

00:32:35Now you hired an actor to play their president?

00:32:37This is disgusting.

00:32:39No wonder Sinclair canceled the deal.

00:32:41Ava, I know you hate this wedding, but why would you do this?

00:32:45You'll ruin Reed Group.

00:32:47Isn't that the girl from earlier?

00:32:48Laura's so kind.

00:32:50Why is that girl trying to ruin her wedding?

00:32:52That's not true.

00:32:53She's fooled all of you.

00:32:54Enough!

00:32:57Ava, you ruined everything.

00:32:59Get them out.

00:33:00Come apologize to Sinclair.

00:33:03This deal gets signed today.

00:33:06Dad, you're hurting my hand.

00:33:08Enough!

00:33:09Can't you see her hand is hurt?

00:33:11That doesn't matter.

00:33:13The Sinclair deal comes first.

00:33:19You're safe now.

00:33:23Too late.

00:33:24You just blew the last chance to sign with Sinclair.

00:33:26Ava Reed is Sinclair's new head.

00:33:34Are you kidding?

00:33:35Her?

00:33:36Head of Sinclair?

00:33:37She looks like a kid fresh out of high school.

00:33:40She runs the world's biggest real estate group.

00:33:43If she's Sinclair's new head, I founded Sinclair.

00:33:47Enough.

00:33:48Stop making a fool of yourself at my wedding.

00:33:50Go home!

00:33:52I came to give you one last chance, but now I see there's no point.

00:33:56Noah, I've decided.

00:33:56I want every one of them to pay.

00:34:04Please, let me go!

00:34:06I really am Ava!

00:34:08Mom, she really is Ava!

00:34:10Shut up.

00:34:12David can't find her.

00:34:15Crawl.

00:34:16Any slower and you're alligator food.

00:34:18Dad!

00:34:19Help me!

00:34:22Enough.

00:34:23Turn it off.

00:34:24Why?

00:34:25Afraid they'll see what kind of woman you chose?

00:34:28It's edited.

00:34:29It has to be.

00:34:30Right!

00:34:31We didn't really hurt her.

00:34:33Once she's dead, you'll be the family's only daughter.

00:34:39They really threw her into Alligator Pond?

00:34:43She was begging for help.

00:34:45She's David's own daughter.

00:34:49Laura, explain this.

00:34:51Now!

00:34:52David, I only meant to scare her.

00:34:55I never meant to hurt her.

00:34:58Dad!

00:34:58I was just mad.

00:35:00She fell in on her own.

00:35:02On my own?

00:35:03You stood there and watched me struggle.

00:35:06But you're alive, aren't you?

00:35:10So as long as I'm alive, nothing you did was wrong?

00:35:14I didn't know you went this far.

00:35:17Now you do.

00:35:19I was wrong!

00:35:21I was...

00:35:22Please don't cancel the wedding!

00:35:24Please!

00:35:25Dad!

00:35:26We can't let this video ruin us!

00:35:28David, calm down.

00:35:31Your company is the real problem now.

00:35:35Boss, bad news.

00:35:37The video's everywhere.

00:35:38Reed Group is down 18%.

00:35:41What?

00:35:42Send them to jail now,

00:35:44and the media will explode.

00:35:46Northstar could be hit, too.

00:35:48You're right.

00:35:49We need to bury this.

00:35:51Dad,

00:35:52after seeing all that,

00:35:54you still only care about your stock price?

00:36:05I need to stop the stock from crashing.

00:36:08You want to stop it?

00:36:09Then call the cops.

00:36:12Have them arrested.

00:36:13No!

00:36:14Dad, you can't!

00:36:16David,

00:36:17we can't have them arrested right now.

00:36:19Why not?

00:36:21Because of Northstar.

00:36:23If the wedding goes ahead,

00:36:25we can still negotiate the deal.

00:36:27But if you call the cops now,

00:36:29Sinclair will reconsider the whole project.

00:36:31So you're saying,

00:36:32they almost killed me,

00:36:34and I'm supposed to save their deal?

00:36:36Nobody wanted you dead.

00:36:38We can hear you loud and clear in the security footage.

00:36:41You wanted to kill me!

00:36:43Ava,

00:36:43stop making a scene.

00:36:45A scene?

00:36:47They beat me,

00:36:48locked me up,

00:36:49and pushed me into an alligator pond.

00:36:52And your company still comes first?

00:36:54He was just holding his daughter and crying.

00:36:57Now he still wants this wedding to happen?

00:37:00If that were my kid,

00:37:02I'd have called the cops already.

00:37:04Wait until the deal is signed.

00:37:06What did you just say?

00:37:07Once the Northstar deal is signed,

00:37:09I promise I'll make this right.

00:37:10So that's it.

00:37:12You're choosing the deal.

00:37:15Dad,

00:37:16this isn't over.

00:37:18I'm going to make every one of you pay.

00:37:24Ava,

00:37:25I know you hate me,

00:37:26but we're about to be family.

00:37:29Stop calling us family.

00:37:31How can you be so cruel?

00:37:33Cruel?

00:37:35Were we family when you pressed my face

00:37:37against that metal tray?

00:37:38You've already won.

00:37:40What more do you want?

00:37:41I want you to face the consequences.

00:37:43Dad,

00:37:44look at her.

00:37:45She doesn't care what happens to your business.

00:37:48Ava,

00:37:48do you have any idea how much Northstar is worth?

00:37:51What's that got to do with any of you?

00:37:52If this project gets canceled,

00:37:55Reed Group goes under.

00:37:56That's why we need to settle this today.

00:37:58Ava,

00:37:59you need to speak up.

00:38:01And say what?

00:38:02Tell the press this was just a family misunderstanding.

00:38:06Absolutely not.

00:38:07Stop acting like a child.

00:38:10The only way to stop our stock from falling

00:38:12is to act like nothing happened.

00:38:15I'm the one they hurt.

00:38:16I can't pretend none of it happened.

00:38:18I'm calling the cops.

00:38:21Ava,

00:38:22I'm on my knees.

00:38:23Please,

00:38:24let me off just this once.

00:38:26I begged you to let me go in that alligator pond.

00:38:29Did you?

00:38:30You're pushing it.

00:38:31I just want you to answer for what you did.

00:38:34She made herself clear.

00:38:36No one's forcing her to do anything today.

00:38:38Who the hell are you?

00:38:39You'll find out.

00:38:40For everyone's future,

00:38:42let it go just this once.

00:38:44Everyone?

00:38:45That never included me,

00:38:47did it?

00:38:52Sarah,

00:38:52are you ready?

00:38:56Just waiting for your word.

00:38:58What exactly are you planning?

00:39:00I'll give you one last chance.

00:39:02A chance to do what?

00:39:03Choose me.

00:39:04Not Laura.

00:39:05Not North Star.

00:39:07Choose your daughter.

00:39:09David,

00:39:09don't listen to her.

00:39:10She just wants to ruin everything.

00:39:13She knows nothing about the business.

00:39:16David,

00:39:17the board is waiting.

00:39:18Ava,

00:39:19why are you making me choose?

00:39:21Because I need to know.

00:39:22If it's your daughter

00:39:23or your money,

00:39:25who comes first?

00:39:26Well,

00:39:27now I have my answer.

00:39:28Good.

00:39:29Let's start the wedding.

00:39:31The wedding?

00:39:32You really think this is over?

00:39:34Shut up!

00:39:35You're a fraud.

00:39:36Stop pretending you're someone important.

00:39:38My dad was right.

00:39:40You're here to bring down Reed Group.

00:39:42Ava,

00:39:44are you ready?

00:39:45Yes.

00:39:46I've been ready

00:39:47since they destroyed Mom's necklace.

00:39:49What do you mean?

00:39:53You'll find out soon enough.

00:40:02More actors she hired.

00:40:04They have to be.

00:40:06Don't worry.

00:40:06I know plenty of people at Sinclair.

00:40:08Mr. Grant,

00:40:09the board is ready.

00:40:11You're pretty convincing.

00:40:12I'll give you that.

00:40:15Don't fall for it.

00:40:16You said you're an executive

00:40:17at Sinclair.

00:40:19Of course I am.

00:40:20Then do you know who I am?

00:40:23Cut the crap.

00:40:24Fine.

00:40:27Acting president?

00:40:28So he really is Noah Grant?

00:40:30Anyone can fake

00:40:31a company announcement.

00:40:33Sure.

00:40:34But you can't fake

00:40:35your employee ID.

00:40:37A temp in the warehouse.

00:40:40No way.

00:40:42That was my old job.

00:40:43You were still hauling goods

00:40:45in the warehouse last night.

00:40:47Dad.

00:40:47Shut up!

00:40:51You lied to me?

00:40:52I was trying to help you.

00:40:54You've been bluffing

00:40:55this whole time

00:40:55just to save face.

00:40:57Whoever he is,

00:40:58we still have North Star.

00:41:02North Star.

00:41:03North Star.

00:41:04North Star.

00:41:07North Star.

00:41:08North Star.

00:41:10See?

00:41:11The project's just on hold.

00:41:13Dad, we still have a chance.

00:41:17That's right.

00:41:18North Star isn't canceled yet.

00:41:20What the hell did you do?

00:41:22I didn't do anything.

00:41:23Then why is the project on hold?

00:41:25Because the person

00:41:26who actually makes that call

00:41:27hasn't spoken yet.

00:41:29This fraud is behind it.

00:41:32Throw them out!

00:41:34Throw who out?

00:41:35You two.

00:41:36Who in this house

00:41:37has the authority

00:41:38to give them orders?

00:41:40Ava!

00:41:41Stop making a scene!

00:41:42You've humiliated me enough!

00:41:45I humiliated you?

00:41:47You chose to marry a woman

00:41:49who almost killed your daughter

00:41:50just to save a deal?

00:41:52That was just a temporary fix.

00:41:55You've been saying that for two days.

00:41:57But you haven't chosen me once.

00:42:00You kept saying the Sinclairs

00:42:01were out of my league.

00:42:02But someone like me

00:42:04wasn't even worthy of touching this.

00:42:05Too bad what you destroyed

00:42:07was a Sinclair family heirloom.

00:42:09You're still going on about that?

00:42:10Drop the act!

00:42:11Enough!

00:42:12I was married to your mother

00:42:14for years

00:42:14and never knew

00:42:15she had ties to Sinclair.

00:42:17She was just an ordinary woman.

00:42:19Ordinary?

00:42:20She rejected an arranged marriage

00:42:21and left the Sinclair family

00:42:23on her own.

00:42:24She built a business empire

00:42:25without a cent of family money.

00:42:27Later,

00:42:27she turned it all over

00:42:28to the family.

00:42:29That's why the Sinclairs

00:42:30set aside a controlling shake

00:42:32for her daughter.

00:42:33Everything I've achieved,

00:42:34I did on my own.

00:42:35No.

00:42:36She helped you for ten years.

00:42:38Shut up!

00:42:39Dad,

00:42:41do you know the first thing

00:42:42I got on my 18th birthday?

00:42:43A 67% stake in Sinclair Group.

00:42:47And the first thing I did

00:42:48after getting those shares

00:42:50was give you North Star.

00:42:52You're insane!

00:42:54She's completely lost it!

00:42:56Stop pretending you run Sinclair!

00:42:59I'm not pretending.

00:43:04I'm not pretending.

00:43:06David Reed.

00:43:08Put your hand down, please.

00:43:10The final inheritance documents

00:43:12for Sinclair Group.

00:43:13Ava Reed is the sole

00:43:14controlling shareholder.

00:43:16Now you can start regretting

00:43:17what you've done.

00:43:18So,

00:43:20you really are

00:43:21the Sinclair heir?

00:43:23You're the one

00:43:24running Sinclair Group?

00:43:28So,

00:43:30you really are

00:43:31the one running Sinclair Group?

00:43:33Isn't that who

00:43:33you've been trying to meet?

00:43:35Ava,

00:43:36I'm sorry.

00:43:37I had no idea

00:43:39you were the Sinclair heir.

00:43:40Please,

00:43:41let me off this once.

00:43:43You're not sorry

00:43:44you had me thrown

00:43:45into that alligator pond.

00:43:46You're just sorry

00:43:47it was me.

00:43:48Mom,

00:43:48get up.

00:43:49She's just trying

00:43:50to humiliate us.

00:43:51She doesn't need to.

00:43:52You've already

00:43:53embarrassed yourselves enough.

00:43:55Ava Reed owns

00:43:5667% of Sinclair Group.

00:43:58She's the sole

00:43:59controlling shareholder

00:44:00and the one in charge.

00:44:02Noah Grant

00:44:03is just acting president.

00:44:04That's impossible.

00:44:05She's only 18.

00:44:07She's 18.

00:44:08And she already

00:44:09has more power

00:44:10than you'll ever have.

00:44:12Miss Reed,

00:44:13I'm just an employee.

00:44:15They fooled me too.

00:44:16What are you saying?

00:44:17Good.

00:44:18A minute ago,

00:44:19you were all insulting me.

00:44:21Now you're looking

00:44:21for someone to blame.

00:44:23It was all her.

00:44:24She promised to date me

00:44:25after the wedding

00:44:26if Dad and I

00:44:27kept it going

00:44:28and pressured David

00:44:29not to call the cops.

00:44:31You're lying.

00:44:32Easy.

00:44:34Since the wedding's off,

00:44:35let's give everyone

00:44:36a different show.

00:44:36I'll apologize

00:44:37in front of everyone

00:44:38however you want.

00:44:40You didn't ask

00:44:40what I wanted

00:44:42when you told me

00:44:43to get out of the wedding.

00:44:44I didn't know.

00:44:46Right.

00:44:47You thought I was poor,

00:44:49so you thought

00:44:50you could treat me

00:44:50however you wanted.

00:44:51Don't go anywhere.

00:44:52Every insult,

00:44:53every hit,

00:44:55every lie,

00:44:56we're settling

00:44:57all of it today,

00:44:58one by one.

00:45:03Ava,

00:45:04I started with nothing.

00:45:05I was just scared

00:45:07of losing it all.

00:45:08So you were willing

00:45:09to kill me to keep it?

00:45:10I didn't want you dead.

00:45:12I just wanted you gone.

00:45:14You threw me

00:45:15into an alligator pond.

00:45:16Don't call it

00:45:17just anything.

00:45:18Mom,

00:45:19don't speak for me.

00:45:20Chloe?

00:45:21You said if Ava

00:45:22admitted she wasn't a reed,

00:45:23I'd be their only daughter.

00:45:24I did it for you.

00:45:26For me?

00:45:27You were scared

00:45:28David would dump you

00:45:29once she came back.

00:45:34You'd still hit me?

00:45:35Now you're blaming

00:45:36everything on me?

00:45:37I only stepped in

00:45:39because you kept crying

00:45:40that she'd stolen your life.

00:45:41Did I tell you

00:45:43to throw her

00:45:43into an alligator pond?

00:45:49This is the family

00:45:50you kept saying

00:45:50you wanted to protect?

00:45:52We also have

00:45:53the jewelry claim,

00:45:54watch delivery records,

00:45:55and hotel footage.

00:45:56The watch arrived intact.

00:45:58Footage shows

00:45:59Chloe snapping the strap,

00:46:00then bumping into Ava.

00:46:01The watch fell,

00:46:02shattering the glass.

00:46:03I didn't sign it.

00:46:04You told me to.

00:46:05You're the adult.

00:46:06You signed it.

00:46:08That's on you.

00:46:08If I were just

00:46:09an ordinary girl,

00:46:10without Sinclair

00:46:11or that 67% stake,

00:46:14would you get on your knees?

00:46:17Would you apologize?

00:46:19No.

00:46:20Say you're sorry.

00:46:22Now!

00:46:23Why?

00:46:23You agreed to lock her up

00:46:25and take her

00:46:25to the alligator pud.

00:46:26Every time she came back,

00:46:28you cried that she'd take

00:46:29David, the house,

00:46:30everything.

00:46:31So I cried,

00:46:32and you decided

00:46:33to kill her?

00:46:34Don't blame me

00:46:35for how cruel you are.

00:46:36Oh, my God.

00:46:37Drop the loving

00:46:38mother-daughter act.

00:46:39You both called me a fraud.

00:46:41Now you're racing

00:46:41to save yourselves.

00:46:45Richard Walker,

00:46:46a temporary supervisor

00:46:47in Sinclair's warehouse.

00:46:49Not a director,

00:46:50not an executive.

00:46:51He doesn't even

00:46:51have signing authority.

00:46:54You said you were part

00:46:55of Sinclair's

00:46:56senior management!

00:46:58I was just trying

00:46:59to back Ethan up.

00:47:00Dad,

00:47:01don't drag me into this.

00:47:03Don't drag you into this?

00:47:05Who do you think

00:47:06I did it for?

00:47:07You're the one

00:47:07who loves bragging.

00:47:09You tell everyone.

00:47:10I have pull at Sinclair.

00:47:12You didn't mind me bragging

00:47:13when you were chasing Chloe.

00:47:16So your whole family

00:47:17has been faking it

00:47:18this whole time.

00:47:19You have no right

00:47:20to judge me.

00:47:21You even made me

00:47:22rent this suit

00:47:22just to play along

00:47:23with your little act.

00:47:25$800.

00:47:26This suit cost me

00:47:27$800 to rent.

00:47:28Pay me back.

00:47:30Seriously?

00:47:31You're still asking me

00:47:32for $800 right now?

00:47:34I'm about to go to jail.

00:47:36You think $800

00:47:37is nothing?

00:47:39You wouldn't even

00:47:40be here without me.

00:47:41Yeah, I'm broke.

00:47:43But who promised

00:47:44to date me

00:47:44if I helped save

00:47:45the wedding

00:47:46than had me and my dad

00:47:47pressure David

00:47:48to keep quiet?

00:47:48Ethan, shut up!

00:47:50What are you scared of?

00:47:52You were the one

00:47:52posing as a Sinclair executive

00:47:54and using North Star

00:47:55to pressure David,

00:47:56weren't you?

00:47:57Looks like that $800

00:47:59bought more than just a suit.

00:48:00Didn't you say

00:48:01your dad could have

00:48:02Sinclair blacklist Ava

00:48:03with just one word?

00:48:06You loved it back then.

00:48:08Now you know it was fake.

00:48:10And you're blaming me?

00:48:12You didn't beg me?

00:48:14You complained about my car,

00:48:15my dad's position,

00:48:17and told me to hide

00:48:18that we rent!

00:48:20Keep going.

00:48:21This is more honest

00:48:22than wedding vows.

00:48:26Ava,

00:48:28your mom was a Sinclair too?

00:48:30Not too.

00:48:31Emma Sinclair

00:48:32was the Sinclair family's

00:48:33only rightful heir.

00:48:35But when she married me,

00:48:37she had nothing.

00:48:39She never used

00:48:40the Sinclair name

00:48:40for herself.

00:48:41The family quietly

00:48:42helped read group

00:48:43a few times

00:48:44for Emma and Ava.

00:48:45She never asked you

00:48:45for anything in return.

00:48:47She didn't want you

00:48:48to love her

00:48:48because she was a Sinclair.

00:48:49She never let her family

00:48:51control your business either.

00:48:52So all these years,

00:48:54I thought I did it

00:48:56all on my own.

00:48:57She was always

00:48:57supporting you.

00:48:58She just never

00:48:59took the credit.

00:49:00Was she crazy?

00:49:02She had all that money

00:49:03and didn't take it?

00:49:04Mom believed

00:49:05some things mattered

00:49:05more than money and power.

00:49:07What about you?

00:49:09Why didn't you

00:49:09ever tell me?

00:49:10I was going to.

00:49:12These are the papers

00:49:13Ava planned to sign

00:49:14after inheriting

00:49:15the company.

00:49:15She was going to give you

00:49:16the North Star project

00:49:17and part of the profits.

00:49:22Me?

00:49:22I thought you were my dad.

00:49:24I thought what I'd inherited

00:49:25could give you

00:49:26the backing you needed.

00:49:27But just as I was ready

00:49:28to give you everything,

00:49:29you chose the wedding,

00:49:30the deal,

00:49:31and them.

00:49:32You kept asking me

00:49:33to choose between you

00:49:34and North Star.

00:49:35And what was your answer?

00:49:37I said I couldn't let

00:49:38North Star fail.

00:49:39Right.

00:49:40Then I told you

00:49:41they framed me

00:49:42and you told me

00:49:43to apologize to them.

00:49:45Stop.

00:49:46Why stop now?

00:49:47I said it over and over.

00:49:50You wouldn't listen.

00:49:52Now you want to hear it?

00:50:00Ava, I was wrong.

00:50:01About what?

00:50:02I shouldn't have forced you

00:50:03to back down for North Star.

00:50:05I kept believing them

00:50:06instead of my own daughter.

00:50:07What else?

00:50:08I shouldn't have put

00:50:10the company and the wedding

00:50:11ahead of you

00:50:12when you needed me most.

00:50:14David,

00:50:15you can't blame me

00:50:16for everything.

00:50:18You thought Ava

00:50:19was lying too.

00:50:21Shut up!

00:50:22I was stupid.

00:50:24I was arrogant.

00:50:25But you kept

00:50:26turning me against her.

00:50:27Don't tell me you didn't!

00:50:28David,

00:50:29we were just scared

00:50:30of losing this family.

00:50:32So being scared

00:50:33of losing it

00:50:34gave you the right

00:50:35to kill her?

00:50:36I'll give you

00:50:36Reed Group.

00:50:37The shares,

00:50:38the house,

00:50:39everything.

00:50:40Just call me dad

00:50:40one more time.

00:50:41I don't want it.

00:50:42Then what do you want?

00:50:44All I ever wanted

00:50:46was for you

00:50:47to believe me.

00:50:48But back then,

00:50:49even that

00:50:50was too much for you.

00:50:52Can I make it up to you?

00:50:53Some things

00:50:54can be repaired,

00:50:55but some choices

00:50:56can't be undone.

00:50:57You didn't lose me today.

00:51:00Please,

00:51:01give me one more chance.

00:51:02Just one.

00:51:02I did.

00:51:03More than once.

00:51:05I gave you chances

00:51:06when I was kicked out,

00:51:07when I was accused

00:51:08of stealing,

00:51:09even after I fell

00:51:10into that alligator pot.

00:51:11I don't know

00:51:12what I can do

00:51:14to make you

00:51:15forgive me.

00:51:16Then stop worrying

00:51:17about forgiveness.

00:51:18Ask yourself

00:51:19why I wasn't

00:51:20worth listening to

00:51:21until you found out

00:51:22I owned 67%

00:51:23of Sinclair.

00:51:24You lost me

00:51:25every time

00:51:25I called you dad

00:51:26and you chose

00:51:27not to believe me.

00:51:32We can't keep

00:51:33turning on each other.

00:51:34Keep talking

00:51:35and we're all screwed.

00:51:38Who was the one

00:51:39who threw me

00:51:39under the bus first?

00:51:40What's the point

00:51:42of arguing?

00:51:42We need to get

00:51:43our story straight.

00:51:45Get our story straight?

00:51:47You mean say

00:51:48Ava jumped

00:51:48into the alligator

00:51:49pinned herself?

00:51:51Just don't admit

00:51:52it was intentional.

00:51:55Right.

00:51:56Say it was an accident.

00:51:58Go on.

00:51:59Lawyers love hearing

00:52:00about getting

00:52:00your story straight.

00:52:02You were listening in?

00:52:04This is a hotel

00:52:05not your living room

00:52:07and we have

00:52:09the full security

00:52:10footage from

00:52:10outside the door.

00:52:12I was telling them

00:52:13not to lie.

00:52:14Dad, that was fast.

00:52:16Ava, we'll make

00:52:17it up to you.

00:52:18Jewelry, medical bills,

00:52:20emotional damages.

00:52:21I'll cover it all.

00:52:23With whose money?

00:52:26My father's?

00:52:28Or the money

00:52:29your mother plans

00:52:29to get from the marriage?

00:52:30I have a house.

00:52:32I'll sell it.

00:52:33You think my life

00:52:34is worth only one house?

00:52:36I just want to survive.

00:52:38So did I

00:52:38when I fell into

00:52:39that alligator pond.

00:52:40Don't act like paying

00:52:41makes up for what you did.

00:52:43You're not asking

00:52:43for forgiveness.

00:52:46Didn't you say

00:52:46the Reed family

00:52:47would protect you?

00:52:48Now you have to

00:52:49sell your own house?

00:52:50Don't play innocent.

00:52:52You and your dad

00:52:53used North Star

00:52:54to pressure David

00:52:55into keeping

00:52:56the wedding on.

00:52:57Because you promised

00:52:58to date me

00:52:58if the wedding went on.

00:53:00I was stupid enough

00:53:01to believe you.

00:53:02Shut up.

00:53:05Are you trying

00:53:06to drag us

00:53:06all down with you?

00:53:07They're not

00:53:08dragging you down.

00:53:09You thought you could

00:53:10do anything to me

00:53:11and get away with it.

00:53:12Now you know I'm not.

00:53:14And you're scared.

00:53:15Everyone makes mistakes.

00:53:16Breaking a glass

00:53:17is a mistake.

00:53:18Pushing someone

00:53:19into an alligator pond

00:53:20isn't.

00:53:21You're begging

00:53:22to get away with it.

00:53:27Let's start

00:53:28with the watch.

00:53:29The watch

00:53:30arrived at the hotel

00:53:31intact.

00:53:32Security footage

00:53:33shows Chloe

00:53:33snapped the strap

00:53:34before it fell

00:53:35and the glass

00:53:35shattered at the entrance.

00:53:37Mom told me

00:53:38to insist

00:53:38it was Ava's fault.

00:53:39That's a lie.

00:53:41You broke

00:53:41the strap yourself

00:53:42then blamed Ava

00:53:43for the damage.

00:53:44You lied to David too.

00:53:46I was cleaning up

00:53:47your mess.

00:53:48I never asked

00:53:49you to do that.

00:53:50You didn't?

00:53:51Who stayed with you

00:53:53when you trashed

00:53:53the room

00:53:54saying you'd be nothing

00:53:55once Ava came back?

00:53:56So you tried

00:53:57to kill her?

00:53:59Don't touch me!

00:54:02You were the one

00:54:03who ordered them

00:54:04to take her

00:54:04to the alligator pond.

00:54:05But you knew

00:54:06she was Ava

00:54:07and still didn't

00:54:09save her?

00:54:10I told you

00:54:11once she's dead

00:54:12you'll be the family's

00:54:14only daughter.

00:54:15And you said

00:54:16got it.

00:54:17We have the footage

00:54:18and the audio.

00:54:20None of you

00:54:20can walk away clean.

00:54:22You have the audio?

00:54:24More than audio.

00:54:25You asked why

00:54:26I can't forgive you?

00:54:27Because you're still

00:54:28calculating how much

00:54:29to admit

00:54:30so you can take

00:54:30less blame.

00:54:31I was just jealous

00:54:32of you.

00:54:33Jealousy isn't

00:54:33an excuse.

00:54:34I never thought

00:54:35I'd go this far!

00:54:37Not thinking about

00:54:37the consequences

00:54:38doesn't make them

00:54:39disappear.

00:54:41Ava, I'll take

00:54:42the blame for her.

00:54:42She's young!

00:54:43You just said

00:54:44she made you

00:54:44do everything.

00:54:45Then what do

00:54:46you want to hear?

00:54:47That I'm jealous

00:54:48of you?

00:54:49Fine!

00:54:50I am!

00:54:51The moment

00:54:52you came back

00:54:53David looked

00:54:53at you differently.

00:54:55You didn't have

00:54:55to do anything.

00:54:57You're his

00:54:57biological daughter.

00:54:59So what?

00:55:00Because you're

00:55:01hurting I have

00:55:01to disappear?

00:55:02I was just

00:55:03scared you'd

00:55:03take everything

00:55:04from me.

00:55:05What did I

00:55:06ever take from

00:55:06you?

00:55:07I didn't take

00:55:07your room.

00:55:08I didn't take

00:55:09your clothes.

00:55:10I didn't stop

00:55:11David from

00:55:11caring for you.

00:55:12You were the

00:55:13one who could

00:55:14never accept me.

00:55:15So your love

00:55:16for each other

00:55:16lasts five minutes?

00:55:24Now, you

00:55:25two, Ethan, you

00:55:28knew Ava had

00:55:28just survived the

00:55:29alligator pond.

00:55:30You still helped

00:55:31Chloe stop David

00:55:32from calling the

00:55:32police and keep

00:55:34the wedding going.

00:55:35I just wanted the

00:55:36wedding to go on.

00:55:37Chloe said she'd

00:55:38date me after it.

00:55:39Don't make things

00:55:40up.

00:55:40You said keep the

00:55:42wedding going and

00:55:43I'll date you after

00:55:44it's over.

00:55:45I asked you to help

00:55:46me, not act like

00:55:47your dad really was a

00:55:48Sinclair executive.

00:55:50You knew my dad was

00:55:51pretending to be a

00:55:52Sinclair executive and

00:55:53you never said a word.

00:55:55How was I supposed to

00:55:56know he was lying?

00:55:58You didn't know?

00:55:59How many times did you

00:56:00use my dad's Sinclair

00:56:01connections to fool

00:56:02David?

00:56:03Enough!

00:56:04You trying to pin

00:56:05everything on me?

00:56:06You were just a

00:56:07warehouse employee.

00:56:08Stop pretending you're

00:56:09an executive.

00:56:10I did it for you.

00:56:12For me?

00:56:13You used Northstar to

00:56:14threaten David and

00:56:15force him to keep the

00:56:16wedding going for me?

00:56:17I was just going

00:56:19along with what they

00:56:19said.

00:56:20You even told everyone

00:56:21you were sent by

00:56:22Sinclair to sign the

00:56:23deal?

00:56:24How was I supposed to

00:56:25know it'd blow up like

00:56:26this?

00:56:29You even told Ava,

00:56:31don't think you're that

00:56:32important.

00:56:32Those were your exact

00:56:34words.

00:56:34I've worked for

00:56:35Sinclair for 25 years.

00:56:37I still have a

00:56:38mortgage.

00:56:38If I get fired, I'll

00:56:40lose my house.

00:56:41So?

00:56:42Please, Miss Reed.

00:56:43I've given Sinclair 25

00:56:45years of my life.

00:56:46You were supposed to

00:56:47do your job for those

00:56:4825 years.

00:56:49That doesn't give you a

00:56:50free pass to hurt

00:56:50people.

00:56:51I'll lose everything.

00:56:53You have a mortgage,

00:56:54so I should have lost

00:56:56my life?

00:56:58What's the point of

00:56:59begging her now?

00:57:00You said a girl with

00:57:01no backing like Ava

00:57:02would back down after a

00:57:03few threats.

00:57:05When did I ever say

00:57:06that?

00:57:079.47 p.m.

00:57:08last night.

00:57:09Hotel parking lot.

00:57:10The cameras picked up

00:57:11audio, too.

00:57:1225 years at Sinclair,

00:57:14and all you learned

00:57:15was how to scare some

00:57:16girl with the company

00:57:17name?

00:57:17What right do you have

00:57:19to laugh at me?

00:57:20I wouldn't be in this

00:57:21mess if it weren't for

00:57:22this wedding!

00:57:23Now you're blaming the

00:57:25wedding?

00:57:25Richard, you didn't say

00:57:26that when you took my

00:57:27gift.

00:57:28Regret doesn't get you

00:57:29off the hook.

00:57:34The hearing is in two

00:57:35days.

00:57:36All original footage,

00:57:37audio, payment records,

00:57:39and messages will be

00:57:40submitted.

00:57:41In public?

00:57:42Everything you said

00:57:43will be played in public.

00:57:46Don't say you couldn't

00:57:47hear it.

00:57:48Ava, just drop this,

00:57:50and I'll stay out of

00:57:51your life forever.

00:57:52She can disappear.

00:57:54So can I.

00:57:55I'll leave the city.

00:57:56I'll quit.

00:57:57I'll quit right now.

00:57:58I'll leave, David.

00:58:00I won't take a dime.

00:58:01Funny, you hurt me

00:58:03trying to get all this.

00:58:04Now you're ready to

00:58:05give it all up to save

00:58:06yourselves?

00:58:07Then what do you want?

00:58:09Own what you did.

00:58:10Pay what you owe, and

00:58:12face the consequences.

00:58:14Don't think crying will

00:58:15make this go away.

00:58:16I can tell you a secret

00:58:18about your mother, Emma.

00:58:21You're using my mother

00:58:22to bargain with me?

00:58:24Give me one chance,

00:58:25and I'll tell you

00:58:26everything I know.

00:58:27You still think

00:58:28everything has a price?

00:58:29The notices are served.

00:58:30They can't be withdrawn.

00:58:33Then none of us

00:58:34gets out of this clean.

00:58:36What do you mean?

00:58:37At the hearing,

00:58:38I'm telling them

00:58:39everything.

00:58:41I won't cover

00:58:42for any of you.

00:58:44Fine.

00:58:45Let's see who gets

00:58:46who locked up first.

00:58:48Mom, you said

00:58:49David would save us.

00:58:51All he cares about now

00:58:52is his daughter.

00:58:54If I'd known

00:58:55this would happen,

00:58:56I never would have

00:58:57laid a hand on Ava.

00:58:58If you'd known

00:58:59I was a Stenland,

00:59:00you wouldn't have

00:59:01hit me, right?

00:59:02So you don't regret

00:59:03hurting me.

00:59:04You regret picking

00:59:05the wrong person.

00:59:06Miss Reed,

00:59:06I'm different.

00:59:07I truly know

00:59:08I was wrong.

00:59:08Then if I were still

00:59:09that girl with no backing,

00:59:11would you be saying

00:59:12this to me now?

00:59:16Laura Bell,

00:59:17do you admit

00:59:18you intentionally

00:59:19pushed Ava Reed

00:59:21into the alligator pond?

00:59:23No comment.

00:59:25Chloe,

00:59:26did you ever tell

00:59:27Ethan to make

00:59:28Ava disappear for good?

00:59:30That was taken

00:59:31out of context.

00:59:32They're about

00:59:33to play the recording.

00:59:34Still claiming

00:59:34it's out of context?

00:59:36Shut up!

00:59:37Can you two

00:59:38stop fighting out here?

00:59:39Worried about looking bad?

00:59:41You weren't

00:59:42when you pretended

00:59:42to be a Sinclair executive.

00:59:46Once we're inside,

00:59:47just keep saying

00:59:48it wasn't intentional.

00:59:50As long as they

00:59:51can't prove intent,

00:59:53we still have a chance.

00:59:56You're telling me

00:59:57what to say again?

00:59:58I'm trying to save you.

01:00:00Save yourself first.

01:00:03Ava,

01:00:04some say you're using

01:00:06Sinclair's power

01:00:07to get revenge

01:00:07on your family.

01:00:08If I wanted revenge,

01:00:10they wouldn't be waiting

01:00:11outside this hearing.

01:00:12They wouldn't get a chance

01:00:14to explain themselves.

01:00:16Then what outcome

01:00:17do you want?

01:00:18It has nothing

01:00:19to do with who I am.

01:00:20I just want any girl

01:00:21in my place

01:00:22to get the same protection,

01:00:25even with no money

01:00:26or connections.

01:00:28Ready?

01:00:30Chloe,

01:00:31do you regret

01:00:32what you did?

01:00:33Of course I do!

01:00:35Do you regret

01:00:36hurting Ava?

01:00:37Or do you regret

01:00:38that she's

01:00:39the Sinclair heir?

01:00:42What are you laughing at?

01:00:44You're no better

01:00:45than me.

01:00:45I'm not.

01:00:47But at least I'm not

01:00:48playing innocent

01:00:48for the cameras.

01:00:49Shut up!

01:00:50They're still filming.

01:00:52Let them film.

01:00:54Didn't you love

01:00:55humiliating me

01:00:56in front of a crowd?

01:00:57There won't be

01:00:58wedding guests inside

01:00:58to cheer you on.

01:01:04Wait!

01:01:05I told you I know

01:01:06a secret about your mother.

01:01:07Laura,

01:01:08what are you trying

01:01:09to do now?

01:01:11Emma didn't leave

01:01:12Sinclair for love.

01:01:13She had a falling out

01:01:15with the family.

01:01:16And your dad

01:01:17took the documents.

01:01:20You're lying.

01:01:21I swear it's true.

01:01:22Withdraw some

01:01:23of the charges

01:01:24and I'll tell you

01:01:25where the documents are.

01:01:28Done making things up?

01:01:29What do you mean?

01:01:30I've seen every

01:01:31legal document

01:01:32related to Emma's

01:01:33departure from Sinclair.

01:01:34She wasn't forced out.

01:01:35She chose to walk away

01:01:37from her family's influence.

01:01:38The only condition

01:01:39was that Sinclair

01:01:41could never use her name

01:01:42to interfere

01:01:43in David's life.

01:01:44She never told David

01:01:45what she'd inherit.

01:01:46She wanted him

01:01:47to love her

01:01:48for who she was,

01:01:48not her name.

01:01:50Emma.

01:01:51So what?

01:01:53What matters

01:01:53is whether I'm

01:01:54going to be charged.

01:01:55Mom,

01:01:56you made up

01:01:57that story about Emma

01:01:58just to save yourself?

01:02:00I was doing it

01:02:01for us.

01:02:02Don't say us.

01:02:03You only asked Ava

01:02:04to spare you.

01:02:08Now I know for sure.

01:02:10To you,

01:02:11even my mother

01:02:12is just another

01:02:13bargaining chip.

01:02:16Ava,

01:02:17I'm really scared.

01:02:18Fear isn't regret.

01:02:22You'd even lie

01:02:23about Emma?

01:02:25David,

01:02:26I just want to live.

01:02:27Ava wanted to live

01:02:28when she fell

01:02:29into that pond too.

01:02:30Did you give her

01:02:31a chance?

01:02:31I told you.

01:02:33I never meant

01:02:34for her to die.

01:02:35You watched her fall.

01:02:37Instead of saving her,

01:02:38you silenced everyone.

01:02:40You all say

01:02:41you never meant

01:02:42for it to go this far.

01:02:43Now you want

01:02:44someone else

01:02:44to take the blame?

01:02:47Everyone,

01:02:47get ready.

01:02:48The hearing

01:02:49is about to begin.

01:02:53What's in there?

01:02:54Which do you want first?

01:02:55The fake executive emails

01:02:57or contact list

01:02:58you sent Ethan?

01:02:59The contacts?

01:03:00The contacts?

01:03:01Don't listen to her.

01:03:02Dad,

01:03:03what else

01:03:04have you hidden

01:03:05from me?

01:03:05What about

01:03:06the recording

01:03:07on my phone?

01:03:08The original file

01:03:09with a time stime.

01:03:11I lost my temper.

01:03:13That doesn't mean

01:03:13I wanted her dead.

01:03:15Say you were

01:03:16just venting.

01:03:17Blame Ethan

01:03:18and Richard

01:03:18for using North Star

01:03:19to pressure David.

01:03:20Do you think

01:03:21I'm death?

01:03:22They were already

01:03:23using North Star

01:03:24to pressure David.

01:03:25Who told Owen

01:03:26to keep Ava

01:03:27in the pond?

01:03:28Who pretended

01:03:29to be a Sinclair

01:03:30executive

01:03:30and threatened

01:03:31David with the project?

01:03:34Ethan told me

01:03:35to keep the wedding going.

01:03:37You told everyone

01:03:38Sinclair sent you

01:03:39to sign the deal.

01:03:42You know

01:03:43what's really funny?

01:03:43You all say

01:03:44you were just

01:03:44following someone else.

01:03:46But your hands

01:03:47pushed me.

01:03:48Your accounts

01:03:48sent the money.

01:03:50Your mouths

01:03:50told the lies.

01:03:51No one else

01:03:52can press send

01:03:53for you.

01:03:54Miss Reed

01:03:55I've worked

01:03:56for Sinclair

01:03:56for 25 years.

01:03:58Please

01:03:58give me a way out.

01:04:02Ava

01:04:02I'm only 18.

01:04:07I'll give up

01:04:08everything.

01:04:09You still

01:04:10don't get it.

01:04:11Stop begging me.

01:04:12You're not

01:04:13scared of me.

01:04:14Mom

01:04:15just admit

01:04:16you pushed her.

01:04:17I never touched her.

01:04:19You want me

01:04:20to take the fall alone?

01:04:21You did push her.

01:04:23Then who said

01:04:24don't pull her out?

01:04:26I was terrified.

01:04:27Convenient.

01:04:28You all have

01:04:29excuses for everything.

01:04:30But I'm the criminal?

01:04:31Stop arguing

01:04:32over who's less guilty.

01:04:34You all have

01:04:34one thing in common.

01:04:35You think your part

01:04:37was no big deal.

01:04:38But all those

01:04:39little things

01:04:40added up

01:04:40to the pain

01:04:41you caused me.

01:04:42It's what you

01:04:42left behind.

01:04:48Ava

01:04:50I'm begging you

01:04:51one last time.

01:04:52I'll give you

01:04:53everything.

01:04:54My house

01:04:54my jewelry

01:04:55all of it.

01:04:58Mom

01:04:59stop!

01:05:00Get on your knees

01:05:01too.

01:05:02What?

01:05:04Get on your knees!

01:05:05You don't want

01:05:06to go to prison

01:05:07do you?

01:05:08Ava

01:05:08please.

01:05:11Weren't you

01:05:12just calling me

01:05:12a broke nobody?

01:05:13Look at you now

01:05:14begging like a dog.

01:05:16Shut up!

01:05:17You're not

01:05:18getting away either.

01:05:20get on your knees.

01:05:23Dad

01:05:24you want them

01:05:25to take my house?

01:05:26Kneel!

01:05:31Ava

01:05:32we are really

01:05:34sorry.

01:05:34What if I wasn't

01:05:35the Sinclair heir?

01:05:37What if I were

01:05:38just an ordinary

01:05:39girl

01:05:40with no money

01:05:41no lawyer

01:05:43no one to speak

01:05:44up for me?

01:05:45Would you be

01:05:45on your knees

01:05:46today?

01:05:47You wouldn't.

01:05:48Don't mistake

01:05:49fear of the

01:05:50consequences

01:05:50from a nurse.

01:05:52The hearing

01:05:53is about to begin.

01:05:54Please enter.

01:06:03Get up.

01:06:05Ava

01:06:05I won't

01:06:06fight you

01:06:07anymore.

01:06:07You can be

01:06:08the Reed

01:06:08family's

01:06:09only daughter.

01:06:10David will

01:06:10have only you.

01:06:12I'll leave.

01:06:13Is that

01:06:13enough?

01:06:16You still

01:06:16think I

01:06:17came back

01:06:17to take

01:06:17your place?

01:06:24kneel?

01:06:24No.

01:06:26You'd say

01:06:26I had it

01:06:27coming.

01:06:28That I

01:06:28should have

01:06:29known better.

01:08:28You expect

01:08:28me to go

01:08:39you turn

01:08:39on each

01:08:40other.

01:08:41The final

01:08:42decision

01:08:42process begins

01:08:43tomorrow.

01:08:47First,

01:08:48the evidence

01:08:49confirms that

01:08:50Richard Walker

01:08:50impersonated a

01:08:51Sinclair

01:08:52executive and

01:08:53falsely claimed

01:08:54authority over

01:08:55North Star.

01:08:55Second,

01:08:57the evidence

01:08:57confirms that

01:08:58Laura Bell

01:08:59deliberately

01:09:00mislect Reed

01:09:01group and

01:09:01the wedding

01:09:02guests.

01:09:03Third,

01:09:04there is

01:09:05sufficient

01:09:05evidence that

01:09:06Ava Reed

01:09:06was deliberately

01:09:07assaulted.

01:09:08Fourth,

01:09:09there was a

01:09:10coordinated

01:09:10cover-up and

01:09:11collusion

01:09:12afterwards.

01:09:13I didn't

01:09:14collude with

01:09:14anyone!

01:09:17Your phone

01:09:41You made

01:09:42your choices.

01:10:08Shut up!

01:10:13Miss

01:10:14Reed,

01:10:15do you have

01:10:16a final

01:10:16statement?

01:10:18I do.

01:10:21I'm not

01:10:22asking anyone

01:10:23to punish

01:10:23them because

01:10:24I'm the

01:10:24Sinclair

01:10:25heir.

01:10:26I only

01:10:27ask for

01:10:27one standard.

01:10:29If today's

01:10:30victim were

01:10:31an 18-year-old

01:10:32girl with

01:10:33no money

01:10:33or status,

01:10:35the law

01:10:36should protect

01:10:36her just

01:10:37the same.

01:10:39Status

01:10:40shouldn't

01:10:40decide who

01:10:41gets protected.

01:10:43Evidence

01:10:44should decide

01:10:44who is held

01:10:45responsible.

01:10:46Are you

01:10:47happy now?

01:10:48We're

01:10:48ruined!

01:10:49Is that

01:10:50what you

01:10:50wanted?

01:10:53When I

01:10:53fell into

01:10:54that alligator

01:10:54pond,

01:10:55you stood

01:10:55there laughing.

01:10:57Were you

01:10:58happy then?

01:11:00I'm not

01:11:01laughing today.

01:11:03Watching

01:11:04other people's

01:11:05lives fall

01:11:05apart isn't

01:11:06what I want

01:11:07out of life.

01:11:09I just

01:11:10don't want

01:11:10you thinking

01:11:11you can

01:11:11hurt people

01:11:12without

01:11:13consequences.

01:11:20All

01:11:21Sinclair

01:11:22authorizations

01:11:22held by the

01:11:23respondents

01:11:23are revoked

01:11:24immediately.

01:11:32of fraud,

01:11:33forgery,

01:11:33and assault

01:11:34will be

01:11:35referred to

01:11:36the appropriate

01:11:36authorities for

01:11:37further action.

01:11:39No!

01:11:40Ava, you

01:11:41promised you'd

01:11:41hear me out!

01:11:44I did.

01:11:46Then why are

01:11:47you still

01:11:47ruining my

01:11:48life?

01:11:50I didn't

01:11:51ruin your

01:11:51life.

01:11:53You ruined

01:11:54your own

01:11:54life.

01:11:55Every time

01:11:56you thought

01:11:57no one would

01:11:57hold you

01:11:58accountable.

01:12:00Ava, please!

01:12:01I'm only

01:12:0218!

01:12:03I'm about to

01:12:04start college!

01:12:05I can't go to

01:12:06prison!

01:12:07You're 18.

01:12:08Then you should

01:12:09know every

01:12:09choice has

01:12:10consequences.

01:12:11I'm really

01:12:12sorry.

01:12:13Your age

01:12:14isn't the

01:12:14problem.

01:12:15The problem

01:12:16is you thought

01:12:18being young

01:12:18meant you never

01:12:19had to take

01:12:20responsibility.

01:12:24Ava, I'll

01:12:25testify.

01:12:29Don't you

01:12:30dare!

01:12:31I'm not going

01:12:32to prison for

01:12:33you.

01:12:33You coward!

01:12:36At least I'm

01:12:37done committing

01:12:38crimes for you.

01:12:39Both of you,

01:12:40shut up!

01:12:41It's over.

01:12:43It's all over.

01:12:46This didn't

01:12:46end today.

01:12:48It started

01:12:49when you first

01:12:50chose to hurt

01:12:51her.

01:12:53This phase

01:12:54of the hearing

01:12:54is concluded.

01:12:58I'll pay it

01:12:59all back.

01:13:00I won't keep

01:13:01a thing.

01:13:03Please don't

01:13:03send the

01:13:04evidence.

01:13:07The referral

01:13:08is not a matter

01:13:08for negotiation.

01:13:10Say something!

01:13:12You can save

01:13:13me with one

01:13:13word!

01:13:15I begged you

01:13:16to help me

01:13:16once, too.

01:13:19I said,

01:13:20help me.

01:13:21You heard

01:13:22me, and

01:13:23you walked

01:13:24away.

01:13:25This is only

01:13:26the beginning.

01:13:28They'll pay

01:13:29for what they

01:13:29did.

01:13:33Reed Group

01:13:34has entered

01:13:35debt restructuring

01:13:36proceedings.

01:13:37I know.

01:13:40you're really

01:13:41not going to

01:13:41ask Ava

01:13:42for another

01:13:42chance?

01:13:46She's given

01:13:47me more

01:13:47chances than

01:13:48I deserved.

01:13:53Ava.

01:13:55The board

01:13:56has decided.

01:13:57I accept.

01:13:59This is my

01:14:00resignation.

01:14:01You don't

01:14:02need me to

01:14:02kneel.

01:14:04I finally

01:14:05understand.

01:14:06Kneeling

01:14:07isn't an

01:14:07apology.

01:14:09I just

01:14:10want to

01:14:10ask you

01:14:11one last

01:14:11thing.

01:14:13Go ahead.

01:14:16Did your

01:14:17mom really

01:14:17love me?

01:14:21She did.

01:14:25But in

01:14:25the end,

01:14:26she learned

01:14:27that loving

01:14:27someone doesn't

01:14:28mean sacrificing

01:14:29yourself.

01:14:32I learned

01:14:33that too

01:14:33late.

01:14:35At least

01:14:35you know

01:14:36now.

01:14:40Ava,

01:14:41I'm

01:14:41sorry.

01:14:43Don't

01:14:44hurt your

01:14:44family and

01:14:45say you're

01:14:46doing it

01:14:46for them.

01:14:48I won't

01:14:49forget.

01:14:51Miss

01:14:51Reed,

01:14:52the final

01:14:52asset

01:14:53freezes

01:14:53and recovery

01:14:54documents for

01:14:54Laura and

01:14:55the others

01:14:55are ready.

01:14:57Proceed as

01:14:58required by

01:14:58law.

01:15:00No

01:15:00exceptions?

01:15:01No one

01:15:02innocent gets

01:15:03punished.

01:15:05I thought

01:15:06money,

01:15:07contracts,

01:15:07and the

01:15:08company kept

01:15:08the family

01:15:08together.

01:15:09But you

01:15:10almost had

01:15:10no family

01:15:11left.

01:15:14I know.

01:15:16The worst

01:15:17part is

01:15:19I almost

01:15:20drove away

01:15:20the daughter

01:15:21who wanted

01:15:21to give me

01:15:22the project

01:15:22in the first

01:15:22place.

01:15:24you didn't

01:15:25lose to

01:15:25Sinclair.

01:15:27You lost

01:15:28because you

01:15:28always put

01:15:29business first.

01:15:32I'll

01:15:33remember that

01:15:33for the rest

01:15:34of my life.

01:15:36And don't

01:15:36make excuses

01:15:37for any

01:15:37of them.

01:15:46all relevant

01:15:47evidence has

01:15:48been verified.

01:15:51Ava,

01:15:53if I could

01:15:54go back,

01:15:55I wouldn't

01:15:56treat you

01:15:57like a

01:15:57fraud.

01:15:58If you

01:15:59could do

01:15:59it again,

01:16:00how would

01:16:01you treat

01:16:01me?

01:16:03I'd

01:16:03treat you

01:16:05like any

01:16:05other girl.

01:16:06girl,

01:16:07that's what

01:16:08you should

01:16:08have said.

01:16:11Not

01:16:11because I'm

01:16:12an heir.

01:16:13Not

01:16:13because I

01:16:14own 67%

01:16:15of the

01:16:15shares.

01:16:16Just

01:16:17because I'm

01:16:17a person.

01:16:20Ava,

01:16:22I used

01:16:22to think

01:16:23you'd

01:16:23stolen my

01:16:23life.

01:16:25I never

01:16:25took anything

01:16:26from you.

01:16:28I know

01:16:28that now.

01:16:30I was

01:16:31the one

01:16:31who ruined

01:16:32my own

01:16:32life.

01:16:34At least

01:16:34you finally

01:16:35said something

01:16:35true.

01:16:37What

01:16:37right do

01:16:38you have

01:16:38to judge

01:16:38me?

01:16:39I don't.

01:16:41So I'll

01:16:42face the

01:16:42consequences

01:16:42too.

01:16:44Miss

01:16:45Reed.

01:16:45One

01:16:46last

01:16:46time.

01:16:48Thank

01:16:49you.

01:16:50At

01:16:51least you

01:16:51didn't

01:16:52make my

01:16:52family pay

01:16:53for what

01:16:53I did.

01:16:54Everyone

01:16:55is

01:16:55responsible

01:16:55for their

01:16:56own

01:16:56actions.

01:16:59But I

01:16:59really

01:17:00have

01:17:00nothing

01:17:00left.

01:17:02I

01:17:02almost

01:17:02lost

01:17:03everything

01:17:03in that

01:17:03alligator

01:17:04pond

01:17:04too.

01:17:04I was

01:17:06wrong.

01:17:06I

01:17:07really

01:17:07was.

01:17:08Then

01:17:09own it

01:17:09and face

01:17:10the

01:17:10consequences.

01:17:17forwarded for

01:17:18enforcement in

01:17:19accordance with

01:17:19the law.

01:17:34Does my

01:17:34apology even

01:17:35matter now?

01:17:37Whether it

01:17:38means anything

01:17:38to me doesn't

01:17:39matter.

01:17:40Just don't

01:17:41think people

01:17:41without money

01:17:42or connections

01:17:43deserve to be

01:17:44stepped on.

01:17:47if I'd

01:17:48pulled you

01:17:48up that

01:17:48day would

01:17:50things have

01:17:50turned out

01:17:50differently?

01:17:52At

01:17:53know you

01:17:54could have

01:17:54made a
