00:00:00Whoever has a child first, either you or your sister, will inherit the Benson Group.
00:00:23They're all ready for you.
00:00:25Well, welcome, Miss Benson.
00:00:27Sorry, Miss, why are you in such a rush?
00:00:31This whole inheritance thing was my grandfather's idea.
00:00:35I would rather die than let my sister run things.
00:00:39Not this one.
00:00:47Is this it? How am I supposed to trust that their genes are good enough for my child?
00:00:51I made sure they met the requirements.
00:00:53Over six foot two inches tall, no family history of genetic diseases and Ivy League graduates.
00:01:01Miss Benson, I personally chose each one just for you.
00:01:04Miss Benson, you had a little too much. Let me help you to your room.
00:01:05No, I can handle it myself. You can go.
00:01:06All right. Take care, sir.
00:01:07You over there in the corner.
00:01:08Why weren't you lined up with the others?
00:01:09Sir, you had a little too much, let me help you to your room.
00:01:21No, I can handle it myself.
00:01:23You can go.
00:01:24Alright, take care sir.
00:01:31You over there in the corner!
00:01:34Why weren't you lined up with the others?
00:01:38Bring him to my room.
00:01:48Yes, Miss Benson.
00:01:59Well, this isn't what I expected for today, but I'm sure you know who you're dealing with.
00:02:06You talk too much.
00:02:07You're asking for trouble.
00:02:16You're asking for trouble.
00:02:17You're asking for trouble.
00:02:18You're asking for trouble.
00:02:19You're asking for trouble.
00:02:28You're asking for trouble.
00:02:29You're awake already.
00:02:38You were great last night.
00:02:39What do you mean?
00:02:40What, you want me to give you a pat on the back?
00:02:41Don't kick it three deep.
00:02:42I've given you more than enough.
00:02:43I've given you more than enough.
00:02:44I've given you a pat on the back.
00:02:45Don't kick it three deep.
00:02:46I've given you a pat on the back.
00:02:47I've given you a pat on the back.
00:02:48Don't kick it three deep.
00:02:49I've given you a pat on the back.
00:02:50You really have no idea who I am, do you?
00:02:51I don't need to.
00:02:52You really have no idea who I am, do you?
00:02:53I don't need to.
00:02:54I don't need to.
00:02:55I don't know.
00:03:08No luck.
00:03:16I just need five minutes now.
00:03:24Happy with last night?
00:03:38Not bad.
00:03:39Wow, if that comes out your mouth, that's a really nice compliment.
00:03:45The proposal for the bidding project has been submitted to the Pamba Group, but I hear there's
00:03:50quite a few submissions.
00:03:51Yeah, we need to land that project no matter what, we'll do whatever it takes.
00:03:56Elliot Palmer just returned to the country yesterday.
00:03:59It's said he'll personally oversee this project.
00:04:10Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:15Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:16Did you really think getting a project from the Pamba Group would be that easy?
00:04:29Evelyn?
00:04:30What are you doing here?
00:04:32Just here to wake you from your daydream.
00:04:34Oh, by the way, my fiancee, Xander, is going to introduce me to Mr. Elliot at the Pamba Group's
00:04:41bidding event.
00:04:42How does that sound?
00:04:44You and your good-for-nothing boyfriend sounds impossible.
00:04:49Don't forget, Xander is Mr. Palmer's nephew.
00:04:51And you're just a nobody, sir.
00:04:57Unfortunately for you, Mr. Palmer's not so stupid, so I think I'll make the right decision.
00:05:04Just wait till I have this project secured.
00:05:07You'll be the first to notice this.
00:05:09How are you feeling, sir?
00:05:22Have a few too many last night.
00:05:28Did you get, um...
00:05:32There are several companies interested in partnering on this project.
00:05:37Here are the proposals.
00:05:41Yeah, these are mediocre.
00:05:47This one from the Benson Group.
00:05:52Make sure they're invited to tomorrow's pre-bid conference.
00:05:54Mr. Palmer, I've sent the invite to the Benson Group upon your request.
00:06:13Their rep is Miss Claire, let's see.
00:06:17It is her.
00:06:31What are you doing here?
00:06:33Oh, I pitched a project to the Palmer Group and got invited.
00:06:37Turns out Mr. Palmer's really interested in what I have to say.
00:06:43Don't get too confident.
00:06:44There's a lot that can still happen.
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:47Once I sit down with Mr. Palmer and go over the details, he'll choose me for sure.
00:06:51You little sis just need to worry about looking pretty.
00:06:55Leave the business stuff to me.
00:06:58Claire!
00:06:59I don't need to get to you.
00:07:00She's just jealous.
00:07:03No.
00:07:04I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:07:16I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:07:17I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:07:17I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:07:17What are you doing?
00:07:18What are you doing?
00:07:19You're trying to ruin the conference or something?
00:07:33Who is that?
00:07:33Causing such a commotion at the Palmer's Group bidding event?
00:07:36I heard she's the Benson family's oldest daughter.
00:07:40So irresponsible.
00:07:42You pushed me!
00:07:44Oh, Claire, don't make false accusations.
00:07:47If you're going to make such a scene, you might as well leave.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51Claire, just go.
00:07:53We don't want to mess up the deal and upset the Palmer family.
00:07:56I was invited.
00:07:57Who are you to throw me out?
00:07:59Well, as a Palmer, we can do exactly as we please.
00:08:04Mr. Palmer has arrived.
00:08:11Mr. Palmer has arrived.
00:08:22I'm Charlie Wheeler, Mr. Palmer's secretary.
00:08:25Thank you all so much for attending the pre-bid conference.
00:08:28Mr. Palmer is tied up with some urgent matters and won't be attending.
00:08:32Thank you for your understanding.
00:08:34Well, Mr. Palmer is a bit of a mystery.
00:08:37It's tough to catch him.
00:08:38That's a shame.
00:08:39I was really looking forward to getting to know him.
00:08:41Everyone here is thinking the same thing.
00:08:43Did you really think you had a shot?
00:08:46Mr. Wheeler, I'm so sorry, but my sister was a bit clumsy and made a mess.
00:08:52I will have her leave right away.
00:08:56Miss Benson, we apologise for the complication.
00:09:00To make it right, Mr. Palmer has arranged some fresh clothes for you.
00:09:03If you'd like to follow me.
00:09:07Me?
00:09:07Yes, please, come with me.
00:09:16Wow, does this mean she might actually get to meet Mr. Palmer?
00:09:20What luck.
00:09:22If I'd have known that, I'd have made a scene too.
00:09:28You just made things easier for Claire.
00:09:31See, Uncle Elliot doesn't usually miss things like this.
00:09:34I wonder what going to him.
00:09:37Santa, help me figure out a way to sabotage Claire's proposal.
00:09:42If I get this project, I'll have more power in the company.
00:09:47I'll see what I can do.
00:09:55Charlie, can I ask you something?
00:09:57Sure thing.
00:09:58What's on your mind?
00:09:59Is it possible to have a chat with Mr. Palmer?
00:10:02I've done a deep dive into the Palmer Group's co-embidding project.
00:10:04I've put together a solid proposal.
00:10:07I'd like to speak to Mr. Palmer in person.
00:10:10According to protocol, you would need to speak with the project manager at Palmer Group first.
00:10:14But I'll check in with Mr. Palmer.
00:10:22Wait, isn't that the escort from before?
00:10:27Has he found himself a sugar mama?
00:10:30Miss Benson?
00:10:33Mr. Palmer has left a spare change of clothes in there for you.
00:10:36I'll be right back, okay?
00:10:37Thank you, Charlie.
00:10:39You've been gone so long.
00:10:42Did you lose weight?
00:10:44Are you taking care of yourself?
00:10:47Now, Grandma keeps asking about you.
00:10:49Don't forget to visit her when you're free.
00:10:53I'll make sure I see her soon.
00:10:56You go on and keep Grandma company.
00:10:58I'll catch up to you once I finish my work.
00:11:03Mr. Palmer?
00:11:05Miss Benson mentioned that she had a detailed proposal and wants to talk to you.
00:11:10She wants to see me.
00:11:12All right.
00:11:13Oh, by the way, I need you to run a background check on Claire.
00:11:17Consider it done, sir.
00:11:19Mr. Palmer has a great taste.
00:11:27What are you doing here?
00:11:36Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:41Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:42What are you talking about?
00:11:48Not bad.
00:11:49I just really see it soon.
00:11:52This is a bidding event for the Palmer Group family.
00:11:54That you need to leave, like, right now.
00:11:59It's hurt.
00:12:04How'd you know I was hurt?
00:12:05How do you know your way around everything so well, really?
00:12:13I've been here a few times.
00:12:14Do you treat every woman like this?
00:12:29What do you mean?
00:12:32Well, I just noticed.
00:12:33It seems you've attached yourself to a rich guest at the Palmer Group event.
00:12:38Must have some solid connections.
00:12:41I really think you've got the wrong idea.
00:12:42You know what you do, explain.
00:12:44I know you're just trying to impress me with your tricks.
00:12:47I won't be coming back to you again.
00:12:48You don't mean to waste your energy on me.
00:12:51Are you really sure you won't come looking for me later?
00:12:57I might end up regretting it.
00:12:59With all these options, why would I regret anything?
00:13:04Oh, Claire.
00:13:05I can't wait for you to see my true self.
00:13:12Charlie, did Mr Palmer agree to meet with me?
00:13:15I'm sorry, Mr Palmer isn't free today.
00:13:19When is he free?
00:13:20Can you set up a meeting?
00:13:22I shall let you know as soon as he's available to meet.
00:13:25Thank you for your help.
00:13:31Grandfather, are you okay?
00:13:34Why did you call the doctor?
00:13:36It's all your fault, Claire.
00:13:38Thankfully, the doctor got here just in time.
00:13:41Claire, what happened at the banquet?
00:13:44The Palmer Group phoned me directly,
00:13:47postponing our cooperation with the Benson Group.
00:13:53What? But why?
00:13:54Isn't it because you made a fool of yourself at the bidding event and caused such a scene?
00:14:00How can that be?
00:14:02Claire, you've really disappointed me.
00:14:05You know how everybody is relying on this project?
00:14:14Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:14:15Xander is going to talk to Mr Palmer for me.
00:14:18Well done.
00:14:19Xander will have to work very hard on the cooperation.
00:14:24That isn't needed.
00:14:27I'll take back the project myself.
00:14:29You don't have an appointment, so you can't go up.
00:14:43Okay, fine. Can I make an appointment right now?
00:14:46Unfortunately, Mr Palmer's schedule is packed for the next three months.
00:14:51So you can leave your contact info with us and we'll get back to you right away.
00:15:10Mr Palmer's office is on the top floor. Why can't I find it?
00:15:25Hey, didn't you guys finish up the repairs already?
00:15:27What are you still doing here?
00:15:29Yeah, yeah, well, I'll be right down.
00:15:31Hey, you, stop. Where are you going?
00:15:34Who are you? Security!
00:15:38Mr Palmer, I'm so sorry to intrude.
00:15:41My name's Claire. Claire Benson, I'm working.
00:15:47What?
00:15:53What's with the outfit?
00:15:58Darling, I've got a table for us tonight.
00:16:04Why is there a plumber here?
00:16:11Madam, I apologize. This is my mistake. I'll make sure to take it on the waterway.
00:16:17Let me go. I just wanted to, I just wanted to speak to Mr Palmer.
00:16:23Do you know her?
00:16:24Yeah.
00:16:26I've crossed paths a few times.
00:16:31All right, all right. I can walk myself.
00:16:34I've seen a lot of women like you come around here and try and get close to Mr Palmer.
00:16:40But let me show you, that won't work.
00:16:43It's that lady in there, Mrs Margaret Palmer.
00:16:45If you think you're going to use her to get close to Mr Palmer, let me be clear, that won't work.
00:16:52Mrs Margaret Palmer having that kind of meeting in her son's office, that's a real shocker.
00:16:57How did the meeting go?
00:17:05I didn't even get to see Elliot Palmer. I need to find another way.
00:17:09Hello?
00:17:14Hello?
00:17:22Kathleen might be expecting.
00:17:24Are you kidding?
00:17:26Kathleen and her fiance went to the maternity clinic together today.
00:17:30This can't be happening. I need to figure this out immediately.
00:17:36Keep searching for someone. Don't hold back on the cost. I need this tonight.
00:17:40You're telling me Claire was looking for a male escort.
00:17:53Yes, sir.
00:17:54Her grandfather has made it clear that only those who can provide a third generation first
00:17:59will inherit the Benson family business.
00:18:02So she came up with this absurd plan and she thinks I'm one of them.
00:18:05I also heard that she's on the lookout for a male escort tonight.
00:18:11It seems she didn't have any luck last time around.
00:18:16I need to find out why she's meeting these escorts tonight.
00:18:28I've got loads of tricks up my sleeve, so I'll definitely please you.
00:18:32You can't even say your own name. Next.
00:18:48Oh, this one looks nice.
00:18:51Look at those biceps.
00:18:54Skipping leg day though.
00:18:58Who are these people you're bringing to me?
00:19:03I just want someone who feels right.
00:19:06Do you have any specific requests?
00:19:21He was definitely the best.
00:19:24I shouldn't have been so tough on him.
00:19:27The one in black looks decent. Bring him to my room.
00:19:32Mr. Palmer, what can I do for you?
00:19:44Mr. Palmer, what can I do for you?
00:19:48Mr. Palmer, why would someone say no to my offer?
00:20:03He mentioned he had an emergency.
00:20:07Okay, so hire someone else then.
00:20:10I saw one of the other guys like a moment ago.
00:20:12He's not available either.
00:20:14Mr. Palmer, what, he had an emergency as well?
00:20:17Mr. Palmer, no, Miss Benson. He's already been hired by someone else.
00:20:20Mr. Palmer, what about the others?
00:20:23Mr. Palmer, I just spoke to the manager and he said...
00:20:27Mr. Palmer, he said what?
00:20:28Mr. Palmer, there's only one escort left in the entire place.
00:20:31Mr. Palmer, how is that possible?
00:20:34Mr. Palmer, the manager said a VIP booked out all the others.
00:20:38Mr. Palmer, all hired by one person.
00:20:41Mr. Palmer, that is quite a craving.
00:20:48Mr. Palmer, all right, let's just go with the one that's available.
00:21:00You again?
00:21:01Mr. Palmer, I just wanted to be sure who the father of your baby was.
00:21:03Mr. Palmer, I just wanted to be sure who the father of your baby was.
00:21:09Mr. Palmer!
00:21:11Mr. Palmer!
00:21:15Mr. Palmer!
00:21:18Mr. Palmer!
00:21:26Mr. Palmer, I want to be sure who died!
00:21:29Mr. Palmer, I want to be sure who she is,
00:21:30Mr. Palmer!
00:21:32Why does my nose itch?
00:21:43It's just the AC or something.
00:21:51Give me your thumb.
00:22:02I'll call you when I'm ready again.
00:22:11Just don't book anyone else and tell me.
00:22:16Okay, well, I'll just be waiting for you, okay?
00:22:25I heard a VIP dropped a load of cash in here yesterday.
00:22:29You mean Mr. Palmer?
00:22:32Mr. Palmer?
00:22:34Elliot Palmer was in here last night.
00:22:41Elliot Palmer was in here last night.
00:22:44Oh, he was definitely here, if you know what I mean.
00:22:48You mean...
00:22:51You didn't hear it from me, but Mr. Palmer asked for all the male escorts.
00:22:57I can't believe Elliot would be into something like that.
00:23:00But I guess if Margaret is a wild card, why wouldn't her son?
00:23:05No wonder they're related.
00:23:06Does Mr. Palmer come here often?
00:23:10That was his first visit.
00:23:12Please do let me know if he comes again.
00:23:13That might not be the best idea.
00:23:27No worries, Miss Benson.
00:23:28I'll handle it.
00:23:30Hello.
00:23:31Hello.
00:23:36Claire, do you even realise the trouble you've caused?
00:23:40Get home right now.
00:23:50Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:54Claire, even if you are looking for a guy, you should need to settle for an escort.
00:24:07The gossip is already everywhere, saying your personal life is a disaster.
00:24:11And it's hitting Benson's stock prices.
00:24:16Sir, I'm very disappointed.
00:24:20Grandfather, it's a misunderstanding.
00:24:22Clearly.
00:24:23I was at the bar for business.
00:24:27I actually have a boyfriend.
00:24:30A boyfriend?
00:24:32Ooh.
00:24:34How did I not know about that?
00:24:35Since when do you need to know my personal life?
00:24:41Why not have him come to Grandpa's birthday in a few days?
00:24:46Have him meet Grandpa.
00:24:50Nothing's got a good point.
00:24:52I want to see if he's a good fit.
00:24:54If he is, we can get and handle things early.
00:24:59Quiet the rumours and boost the stock prices.
00:25:05Yes, Grandpa.
00:25:14Here.
00:25:16This is for you.
00:25:22You're so generous.
00:25:31Sir.
00:25:32Last night you were...
00:25:34Oh, thank you for your arrangements last night.
00:25:42Alright.
00:25:43See you.
00:25:47Miss Benson really is something else.
00:25:49It was just yesterday she was asking me about Mr. Palmer.
00:25:52Look at them now.
00:25:53So close already.
00:25:57Isn't Alfred your boss?
00:26:00Why did he just call you Sir?
00:26:02He did?
00:26:02He was always nice to us.
00:26:06Speaking of last night, I heard Mr. Palmer rented out the whole place to male escorts.
00:26:13Who knew the mysterious Mr. Palmer had such wild taste?
00:26:17I wonder if he's been around.
00:26:18He's probably too busy in bed.
00:26:20Is that why you wanted to see me?
00:26:23No.
00:26:23I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:26:31Are you for real?
00:26:34Well, it's just an act to help me deal with my grandfather.
00:26:39Do you think this will work?
00:26:41Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're happy with the deal.
00:26:44Running alone won't cut it.
00:26:46Fine, what do you want?
00:26:47Don't be too greedy.
00:26:50I just want this.
00:26:54You.
00:27:00From now on, you're a young entrepreneur just returning home from business.
00:27:05All right.
00:27:06Let's go fine-tune Alfred.
00:27:17What?
00:27:18Yes, that's right.
00:27:22Mr. Brown decided not to lend out anything.
00:27:26Borrow it.
00:27:27Why didn't you just buy it?
00:27:29Mike's design is the most exclusive in the country.
00:27:33Even celebrities from overseas have to book a year in advance to wear his clothing.
00:27:38It's not something you can just buy.
00:27:40We had a deal.
00:27:42Where is Mike?
00:27:43I want to speak with him personally.
00:27:45He's not here.
00:27:47Or he's just avoiding me.
00:27:50Enough.
00:27:54I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:59Why?
00:28:00With all this recent media attention around you,
00:28:04aligning my brand with you right now is not ideal.
00:28:08Especially considering I can't control who may end up in my designs.
00:28:12Oh, I hope you understand.
00:28:14It's nothing personal.
00:28:15I just have to prioritize what's best for me and my brand.
00:28:21What's the issue here?
00:28:24You!
00:28:25Mr. Pike, is it?
00:28:27That's me.
00:28:29So, um, I'm hearing that I'm not worthy to wear your clothes.
00:28:34Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:28:35Not at all.
00:28:36It would be an honor if you were to wear my designs.
00:28:38Um, sorry, is this how you treat all your customers?
00:28:44Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Spencer.
00:28:48This is all my fault.
00:28:49Why the sudden change in attitudes?
00:28:51Well, this, um, gentleman's style and presence aligns perfectly with my brand.
00:28:59Please, please, please, if I may, if I may.
00:29:06Who says that looks can't pay the bills?
00:29:08Let's see what Kathleen has to say this time.
00:29:35Let's see what Kathleen has to say this time.
00:29:38Hey, just remember, this is a 1945 Chateau to John Rothschild.
00:29:44Just say that you brought it.
00:29:45I already told you, I have a gift.
00:29:48It's on its way.
00:29:49What could you have lost?
00:29:50They're gone.
00:29:51I know your job is tough.
00:29:52Don't go crazy with it, okay?
00:29:54Just keep it short.
00:29:55Don't let anything slip.
00:29:57Hello, Mr. Benson.
00:30:09My name's Elliot.
00:30:10I'm Claire's boyfriend.
00:30:12Elliot.
00:30:13Hmm.
00:30:14Please take a seat.
00:30:15Where on earth did Claire find a guy like him?
00:30:23That's a mic design, isn't it?
00:30:26Don't worry.
00:30:27I heard Claire went to a bar the other day.
00:30:29She probably hired him.
00:30:36I'll expose her to sweet.
00:30:38So, Elliot, what do you do?
00:30:47Well, I was...
00:30:47He...
00:30:48Well, he just moved back to the country and started a construction company.
00:30:54Oh, isn't that something?
00:30:58The Benson group's just getting into construction, too.
00:31:03Why not have Claire's new boyfriend share his future plans with Grandpa?
00:31:07Maybe even share some advice?
00:31:13Well, he's just starting out.
00:31:14You know, he's just figuring it out right now, learning the ropes.
00:31:17Claire, can your boyfriend not speak for himself?
00:31:22Claire.
00:31:23Claire, stop interrupting.
00:31:25I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:28Hmm.
00:31:29Let's see what this escort can come up with.
00:31:36I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:46I want to shake up the building bit that's traditionally used and, um, agencies.
00:31:50Now, these won't be, like, regular branches.
00:31:54They'll, um, they'll produce everything themselves to keep higher profit margins on the overall
00:31:58projects.
00:31:59He really seems to know what he's talking about.
00:32:08It's just a coincidence.
00:32:10Elliot, our chat today has, uh, really given me a lot to think about.
00:32:15You know an awful lot for a man of your age.
00:32:18Thank you, sir.
00:32:20Wow, you must have really put an effort to memorise that.
00:32:22Oh, that was definitely needed.
00:32:25Oh, Grandpa!
00:32:27Elliot also bought you a gift.
00:32:29Is this a rare vintage wine?
00:32:34Yeah, we bought it as, um, a sign of respect to you.
00:32:38We hope you enjoy it.
00:32:39Oh, I remember this bottle.
00:32:47It was auctioned off last month.
00:32:49The last name of the buyer was Benson, right?
00:32:54No, you must be wrong.
00:32:57I actually have the auction news right here, Grandpa.
00:33:00See, this bottle was definitely bought by Claire.
00:33:03Elliot, could you not afford a gift, or did you just not care?
00:33:11Claire?
00:33:12Yes, I did buy it, but I...
00:33:14Claire bought this because she really cares.
00:33:17My gift is on its way.
00:33:20If you buy something random right now, it will actually make it worse.
00:33:23Just trust me.
00:33:26Seriously, Claire.
00:33:27What kind of boyfriend did you find?
00:33:30Did you just pick him up off the street?
00:33:33Mr. Vincent, there's a rather fancy car parked outside, and it seems to be blocking the front entrance.
00:33:49There's a rather fancy car parked outside, and it seems to be blocking the front entrance.
00:33:54Is that Xander?
00:33:55It's definitely Xander.
00:33:57You must be here to bring presents for your Grandpa.
00:34:01Oh, Xander, I knew it was you!
00:34:03Happy birthday, Mr. Benson.
00:34:15Mr. Benson, these gifts are for you.
00:34:17Is this the Hulk special watch that's worth millions?
00:34:29I didn't know they made them anymore.
00:34:31Well, I happen to know the CEO very well, and got one from his private collection, just for you.
00:34:37Oh, look at the colour of that gem.
00:34:43The clarity.
00:34:44You can't buy quality, even if you've got a stash of money.
00:34:48Did you really get all these gifts?
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:53Yeah, I did, actually.
00:34:56Do you accept our gifts?
00:34:57I accept these gifts.
00:34:59Thank you very much.
00:35:00Thank you very much.
00:35:04Didn't you say he was just an escort?
00:35:07How on earth could he afford anything?
00:35:10Is it possible that Claire has actually found herself a rich boyfriend?
00:35:15Seriously.
00:35:16Seriously?
00:35:16How did you afford these?
00:35:18They're all fake, of course.
00:35:20I had them made up special for a lot of money.
00:35:26Eight thousand?
00:35:27Eighty thousand.
00:35:29Oh.
00:35:29All this to make you look good.
00:35:32You should probably pay me back later.
00:35:37What's so special about that?
00:35:39Sander will be here soon, and he's Mr. Elliot Palmer's nephew.
00:35:43The Palmer family's wealth and status is far superior to some flashy boyfriend.
00:35:50My nephew.
00:35:51If he shows up, wouldn't everyone know who I really am?
00:35:54Hello, everyone.
00:35:59You've been lovely.
00:36:06Darling.
00:36:11You must be Claire's boyfriend.
00:36:14Good to meet you.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:16I assume haircut wasn't at the top of your checklist, eh?
00:36:19Nice.
00:36:23You really have no idea who I am.
00:36:27Why would I know you?
00:36:30Sander, this is Elliot.
00:36:33He's an entrepreneur that's just come back from abroad.
00:36:40Grandpa's really into this guy.
00:36:42Hurry up and give him your gift.
00:36:44Stop it.
00:36:47This is a vintage 1992 bottle of wine.
00:36:50I had my uncle set it up just for you.
00:36:531992.
00:36:57Never seen one of this nature?
00:36:59Or have you got something better to show me?
00:37:03Well, they say it's the thought that counts, right?
00:37:08I'm happy anyway.
00:37:10The rich family like the Palmers, and we can't even get a decent bottle of wine.
00:37:15Sander's such a tight one.
00:37:16I bet Elliot Palmer is worse.
00:37:17That's not fair.
00:37:20Maybe Elliot Palmer has no idea who Sander even is.
00:37:25How could that be?
00:37:26It's his nephew.
00:37:28What's your last name?
00:37:36What's your last name?
00:37:37Never mind.
00:37:42You're just an escort.
00:37:44There's no way you could be linked to the Palmer.
00:37:46Claire, Kathleen.
00:37:49It's lovely to see you two settle down.
00:37:53It really makes me very happy.
00:37:56I'll take great care of Kathleen.
00:37:58And the family, of course.
00:38:02Claire, now that Kathleen's pregnant, you two will have to hurry up a bit.
00:38:08All in good time, Grandpa.
00:38:14You did really great today.
00:38:16Go ahead and head back first.
00:38:22I'll catch up later.
00:38:23Just remember to pay me back for the gifts and the car rental.
00:38:27Yeah, sure thing, money waster.
00:38:40Boss.
00:38:41Found out what you wanted.
00:38:43That Sander is just the son of the Palmer family's driver.
00:38:46Changed his name a while back to trick people.
00:38:49I'm just curious as to where he came from.
00:38:52Looks like a fake.
00:38:54Should we file charges?
00:38:55I can get the legal team to whip up some papers.
00:38:57No.
00:38:59No, not at the moment.
00:39:00I want them to realise that the higher they climb, the higher they fall.
00:39:16Can you meet me tonight?
00:39:22You have an international meeting already set.
00:39:26Sorry, I can't do tonight.
00:39:29Guess I'll have to find somebody else.
00:39:31Maybe even booking an escort is a hassle.
00:39:33Is she seriously going to find someone else?
00:39:40I'm afraid Miss Benson is set on having a child.
00:39:43You need to put an end to this situation once and for all.
00:39:46I thought the Benson group were keen on working with us.
00:39:48So you're saying that the Palmer group not only wants to discuss the partnership,
00:39:58but Mr. Palmer wants to set up a meeting today.
00:40:00Yep.
00:40:01I just heard from his secretary.
00:40:02It's confirmed.
00:40:04Well, cancel the bar reservation then.
00:40:07Get your car ready.
00:40:09We're going to the Palmer group.
00:40:10Come in.
00:40:22Mr. Palmer.
00:40:28Mr. Palmer.
00:40:30I'm Claire.
00:40:31Claire Benson.
00:40:32This is the project proposal we've been meaning to share with you.
00:40:40You are Claire.
00:40:46Is this really Mr. Palmer, the CEO?
00:40:49Why is he wearing that mask?
00:40:51Is he hiding something?
00:40:53You have five minutes.
00:40:55Wait, that voice.
00:40:57Sounds so familiar.
00:40:59Miss Benson.
00:41:01Sorry.
00:41:02The proposal tells you everything you need to know.
00:41:06The Benson group has a lot of experience in this area.
00:41:11We can help your company grow in the property sector within two quarters.
00:41:14This is good.
00:41:16The Benson group has really been looking forward to working with...
00:41:19But we have five other companies who are submitting similar proposals.
00:41:25Why should we choose yours?
00:41:27Whatever you need, I can do it.
00:41:29I can make it happen.
00:41:30There is just one thing I'd like from you.
00:41:36Yes, of course.
00:41:38Whatever you need, as long as it's within my power, consider it done.
00:41:42I want you to be my secret lover.
00:41:48I want you to be my secret lover.
00:41:54What?
00:41:55Did you just say?
00:41:56From now on, you are not permitted to see anyone else.
00:42:00Well, didn't you say you would do whatever it takes?
00:42:03But I...
00:42:04Never mind.
00:42:12Miss Palmer.
00:42:15I accept your conditions.
00:42:18Are you certain about this?
00:42:20If this is what it takes to get the deal...
00:42:23All right, fine.
00:42:24Charlie, give me contract.
00:42:26Why does he always put Miss Benson through this?
00:42:29This is a secret deal.
00:42:33Once you sign, you will follow all the rules I make.
00:42:36Whenever I call, you must answer.
00:42:39A partnership with your company will start right away.
00:42:43Are you ready for this?
00:42:50I didn't think Miss Benson would have even less pride than I thought.
00:42:54Pride doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:42:56Mr. Palmer.
00:42:59What's wrong about you?
00:43:03What are you doing?
00:43:08I just want to reveal the ugly truth behind the mask.
00:43:11The one that you hide from everyone.
00:43:13Black!
00:43:14Why was your head made of metal?
00:43:16Don't let this little bit of power go to your head.
00:43:18There are plenty of people that would love to go on a date with me.
00:43:21You should just take a look in the mirror and ask if you even deserve me.
00:43:31Sir, don't let Miss Benson get to you.
00:43:34She's just trying to exploit her.
00:43:36Perceives weakness, that's all.
00:43:43Claire.
00:43:43It would be even more fascinating than I thought.
00:43:50Elliot's finally back in town.
00:43:52But I haven't seen him all day.
00:43:55I think Elliot might be in love.
00:43:59What?
00:43:59Last week, out of nowhere, he sent a ton of pricey gifts to Mr. Benson for his birthday.
00:44:06Have you ever seen him go out of his way for anyone like that?
00:44:11He's got to be interested in the Benson family's daughter.
00:44:17Elliot's already been to meet the head of the family.
00:44:22We must figure out how to meet the Bensons.
00:44:25Josh?
00:44:29Yes, ma'am.
00:44:30What can I do for you?
00:44:31I need you to go over to the Benson family and ask them to dinner.
00:44:36And this is a gift from my daughter-in-law.
00:44:40Please make sure it gets delivered.
00:44:47Are you saying Mrs. Bernice Palmer wants to meet us?
00:44:51Well, with Kathleen pregnant, it's about time both families got together, get together to talk about the wedding.
00:45:05Mrs. Benson's having a baby.
00:45:07I need to rush back and tell the madam.
00:45:09I apologise for the Palmer family's mistake.
00:45:15I hope you can overlook it.
00:45:17The madam thinks a lot of Mrs. Benson and sends me with a gift now that she knows.
00:45:25May I just ask which of these ladies are...
00:45:28Oh, this is my younger daughter, Kathleen.
00:45:32Right, Mrs. Kathleen Benson.
00:45:36This is a special gift.
00:45:38From the madam to Miss Kathleen Benson.
00:45:44Wow, it's gorgeous.
00:45:46I love it.
00:45:53The gift has been delivered, madam.
00:45:56The future in-laws and the younger sister looks pretty friendly.
00:46:01But the older sister looks a little bit aloof.
00:46:04Oh.
00:46:08Mum, what is going on?
00:46:14How can you really know someone from a few comments?
00:46:18I need to see for myself.
00:46:21I'm heading out now.
00:46:24Go meet the Bensons on my behalf.
00:46:26Hmm?
00:46:26You probably want to meet our Kathleen.
00:46:36What are you doing here?
00:46:38You just had to tag along.
00:46:40Grandfather wanted me to talk to the Palmers without working with them.
00:46:43And you clearly know nothing about business.
00:46:45Claire, you only get to meet Mrs. Palmer because of me.
00:46:48So don't say anything dumb later.
00:46:52Get off me, you old tag.
00:46:55Please help me.
00:46:56Back off, you old bitch.
00:46:59I don't feel real.
00:47:02Why don't you please?
00:47:03Claire, we're nearly at the restaurant.
00:47:05You're not seriously going to make us wait for dinner with Mrs. Margaret Palmer, this dirty old woman.
00:47:10Young lady, you go on now.
00:47:16I'll be all right.
00:47:17No, we need to get you to a hospital.
00:47:19Claire, are you serious?
00:47:21Come on, forget about her.
00:47:22Let's go.
00:47:26Young lady, you're very kind.
00:47:29If only my granddaughter-in-law was like you.
00:47:33Oh.
00:47:34Well, funny enough, I'm looking for a boyfriend.
00:47:38Joe.
00:47:39You're all right.
00:47:40Can you walk?
00:47:41Let me call you a cab.
00:47:42Actually, I just need to sit down.
00:47:45And there's a restaurant just ahead.
00:47:47If you could take me there, I'll get my grandson to pick me up.
00:47:50Of course, of course.
00:47:50I'll take you there.
00:47:56Please pick me up from the greenhouse restaurant.
00:47:59I'll explain.
00:48:11Make sure you wow, Mrs. Palmer.
00:48:14If they support us, you'll be able to call the shots in the Benson group.
00:48:20Relax, I'm not dumb like Claire.
00:48:23Missing an opportunity to meet with Mrs. Margaret Palmer for some messy old lady.
00:48:27Well, Missy, what's wrong with her?
00:48:31How could she bring that messy old lady in here?
00:48:36Oh!
00:48:40Oh!
00:48:42What are you doing?
00:48:44Why did you bring her here?
00:48:46If Mrs. Palmer sees one of the Benson family with some dirty old beggar, it won't look good for us.
00:48:53Get her out of here.
00:48:54She is not a beggar.
00:48:56And this is a restaurant.
00:48:58Anyone can come in.
00:48:59Well, well, well, well, what have we here?
00:49:08Where does a messy old lady get such fancy jewellery?
00:49:11It must be stolen.
00:49:15This will be evidence.
00:49:17I'll call the police.
00:49:19Give it back.
00:49:20My grandson gave that to me.
00:49:22Kathleen, give it back to her.
00:49:23Let's not waste any more time.
00:49:26Waiter.
00:49:30Get this thief out of here.
00:49:33Get your filthy hands off me.
00:49:35Stop it.
00:49:40Grandma, you okay?
00:49:41Now you can see who's been insulting your grandmother.
00:49:49Grandmother?
00:49:50So the grandson that old lady was searching for is him?
00:49:54Oh.
00:49:58It's you.
00:50:00I thought you were just a lowly escort, but I gave you too much credit.
00:50:05Someone like you doesn't belong in the Benson family.
00:50:07Having a con artist like you in the family is a disgrace to our name.
00:50:15Enough.
00:50:17It's clear that you're the one who doesn't belong in the Palmer family.
00:50:22Mrs. Palmer.
00:50:23Mrs. Margaret Palmer.
00:50:27Oh, well, I'm really sorry.
00:50:30We appear to have had a terrible mix-up.
00:50:32Um, my eldest daughter brought the wrong people in and, um, well, I'll have them leave immediately.
00:50:38You two are the ones who should go.
00:50:43This is the Palmer family's restaurant and you're not welcome here.
00:50:47Mrs. Palmer.
00:50:49Are you sure you're not confused?
00:50:50Oh, my God.
00:50:52Hmm?
00:50:52Get out now!
00:51:05Get out now!
00:51:22Oh, Elliot.
00:51:27I need to be clear today.
00:51:29I really don't like that Kathleen that you're hanging about with.
00:51:33Exactly.
00:51:34With her attitude, even if she had a Palmer baby, I wouldn't let her into the family.
00:51:39Kathleen!
00:51:42You two definitely have the wrong idea.
00:51:46Kathleen isn't my girlfriend and her kid has nothing to do with me.
00:51:50Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.
00:51:53She and her mum don't seem like nice people.
00:51:57Claire.
00:52:00Claire seems familiar.
00:52:05Wait a minute.
00:52:07She's the plumber.
00:52:09Claire, I think Claire is sweet.
00:52:13Claire, she's even more of a hassle.
00:52:15You seem to know her pretty well.
00:52:20Is there something between you two?
00:52:22Yeah, let's not talk about that now.
00:52:24Um, oh, Kathleen's fiancée, Zander, has been pretending to be part of the Palmer family.
00:52:31Mum, Mrs. Palmer really hates me now.
00:52:41What am I going to do?
00:52:44Darling, it's fine.
00:52:46As long as Zander cares about you, that's all that matters.
00:52:49He'll say nice things to Mrs. Palmer.
00:52:52And she'll forgive us.
00:52:54That's the only way.
00:52:55It's all curseful.
00:52:59She's trying to sabotage my marriage to the Palmer family on purpose.
00:53:04Don't worry, darling.
00:53:08I'll make sure she pays for this.
00:53:17It's all here.
00:53:19No need to worry.
00:53:21Every year on the anniversary of your mum's passing, you come to the flower field she planted,
00:53:28you pay your respects, you take care of the garden, and you plant your flowers.
00:53:33I won't forget.
00:53:36This is the Benson family's property.
00:53:52Who told you you could just tear it apart?
00:53:55Uh, uh, it was Mrs. Amy Benson's orders.
00:54:00Amy.
00:54:00You told you you could touch my mum's garden.
00:54:09Uh, well, Kathleen's been having pregnancy cravings, and she wanted oranges.
00:54:15I thought that spot there would be the best place to grow them there for her.
00:54:19That's my mum's space.
00:54:21And?
00:54:24She's gone, Mum.
00:54:26And those flowers are just sitting there.
00:54:29No one to enjoy them.
00:54:30What a waste.
00:54:32It's better to clear them away and grow orange trees for everyone.
00:54:35Yeah, sis.
00:54:36Home-growing oranges just tastes way better.
00:54:42You're a home-wrecker.
00:54:43Who told you you could touch any of the Benson family's stuff?
00:54:46Fix the garden now!
00:54:48That's enough.
00:54:50Let go of her.
00:54:52Amy's your mother, too.
00:54:55So, show a little respect for your elders.
00:54:57Grandpa, she'll destroy...
00:54:59Oh, no.
00:55:01I said it was fine.
00:55:04It's just a garden.
00:55:06It's our land.
00:55:08Don't interrupt.
00:55:09Kathleen is soon to become a palmer, and Grandpa really cares about that.
00:55:23And when Kathleen marries Xander and has a kid to inherit the Benson estate,
00:55:27you weren't being part of this family anymore.
00:55:32Why the sudden invites?
00:55:48Did you miss me?
00:55:51Hey.
00:55:52What's wrong?
00:55:54Don't ask.
00:55:54Just let me stay close a while.
00:56:02Okay.
00:56:03You don't need to say anything.
00:56:09Huh.
00:56:11Looks like the power's gone.
00:56:16I'll check it out, okay?
00:56:18No, please don't leave.
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:21I'll stick around.
00:56:22So, are you scared of the dark?
00:56:47My mom died when I was little, and my dad married my stepmom, Amy.
00:56:57And one day when dad was away, she locked me in a tiny, dark closet for two whole days.
00:57:07I thought you'd be a grandpa.
00:57:09Didn't he take care of you?
00:57:10When mom died, no one really looked after me.
00:57:12But eventually, I did learn how to protect myself.
00:57:23I had to get strong so no one could push me around.
00:57:26Well, from now on, I'll protect you.
00:57:28You.
00:57:29You don't trust me.
00:57:35All right.
00:57:37I believe anything you say.
00:57:40How am I supposed to take an escort's promise seriously?
00:57:43It's coming, don't worry.
00:57:50Mm-hmm.
00:57:50I'm also.
00:57:52Why is there a crowd here?
00:57:55Oh, they're friends and relatives from my side of the family.
00:57:58We're here to go over the plans for Kathleen and Xander's wedding.
00:58:02A wedding?
00:58:03Oh, you haven't been told yet.
00:58:08Mrs. Palmer's coming round soon to discuss the marriage.
00:58:17Claire, be sure to smile and be polite.
00:58:20Don't say anything bad in front of Mrs. Palmer.
00:58:24But, um, Mrs. Palmer's coming round.
00:58:29Mrs. Palmer's coming round.
00:58:31Yeah, Xander.
00:58:33You spoke to Mrs. Palmer.
00:58:34She forgave us.
00:58:36And, well, she's offered to come over and talk about the wedding.
00:58:39She did mention to that to you, right?
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:43Yeah, of course.
00:58:44What the hell?
00:58:45When did I ever say anything nice?
00:58:47This doesn't matter.
00:58:48Mrs. Palmer must really care about Xander.
00:58:50I mean, she's made time with her busy schedule to come here in person and discuss the wedding with us.
00:58:55It's wonderful.
00:58:56The Palmers are super exclusive.
00:58:58I mean, I'm so lucky to know Kathleen and to be able to meet Mrs. Palmer in person.
00:59:04When Xander and I are married, I'll make sure that you go round to the Palmer residence all the time.
00:59:11Oh, Kathleen, I've just remembered there's something I've left unfinished in the office.
00:59:15I must go right away.
00:59:17Xander?
00:59:18You must make time for your own wedding.
00:59:24Yeah, of course.
00:59:25On that note, actually, I have a small favour to ask you.
00:59:29My sister would really love an internship at Palmer Corp.
00:59:35Well, I'm sure there's something that Xander could do.
00:59:49Thank you so much, Kathleen.
00:59:51Yes, well, funny, actually.
00:59:53I've also got a little favour I'd love to discuss when we...
00:59:57Mrs. Palmer has a run.
00:59:59Mrs. Palmer, what's going on?
01:00:22What's the meaning of this?
01:00:24That Xander is your grandnephew.
01:00:27Grandnephew?
01:00:28I'd really love to know when we've got a relative like that.
01:00:33What?
01:00:35That's crazy.
01:00:37Are you saying he's not a Palmer?
01:00:41If he's not a Palmer, then who is he?
01:00:46Xander is the son of the Palmer family's driver.
01:00:56No.
01:00:56No.
01:00:58Oh, no.
01:01:03No way.
01:01:05Sorry, you're being arrested for fraud and information.
01:01:08Come with us, please.
01:01:09Madam, I can explain.
01:01:10This is a misunderstanding.
01:01:12Kathleen, honey, do something.
01:01:13I don't even know who you are.
01:01:15Kathleen!
01:01:15Kathleen!
01:01:16Our Kathleen would never be involved with a scammer.
01:01:19Listen, we thought you'd married into wealth, but clearly you're with a fraud, and I'm taking my jewellery back.
01:01:27Yeah, me too.
01:01:28Sorry, family has to stay out here.
01:01:44I'm going to keep'n him intoWORK from now.
01:01:46Lady's arriving with a smug.
01:01:48What, you even have a little hospitable smell?
01:01:52lot is not so sour air.
01:01:53My period's late. Could it be?
01:01:57Congratulations, Claire. By the looks of this, you're about four weeks pregnant.
01:02:02I'm having a baby.
01:02:04Yes.
01:02:06Should I let him know?
01:02:10It's just a sperm donation. Don't make it a big deal.
01:02:16Kathleen, your grandpa is still in ER.
01:02:20Where did you leave?
01:02:21I was just in a bit of pain, so I just went for a check-up.
01:02:26What's wrong? Are you okay?
01:02:28This is our only shot at keeping the band's legacy.
01:02:32I'm okay, yeah. Don't worry too much.
01:02:44How did you get out?
01:02:45My dad took out a loan and bailed me out.
01:02:47If I don't pay it back in a month, I'm looking for full charges.
01:02:50What's that got to do with me?
01:02:52Well, you spent the money as well. I don't act like you're not involved, Kathleen.
01:02:55What do you really want, Zonda?
01:02:58I need money.
01:03:01Three millions.
01:03:03Well, if that's not happening...
01:03:04I don't know if that might sell something, but I won't see you.
01:03:09Speak, one!
01:03:15Take this for now.
01:03:17But if you tell anyone anything, you will regret it.
01:03:21The patient had a heart attack.
01:03:41His emotions are all over the place.
01:03:42As family, you have to keep him calm, and avoid stressing him out.
01:03:51This is Wuzonda's fault.
01:03:55Grandpa, are you alright?
01:03:58I'm okay.
01:03:59I thought if Kathleen married a palmer, they'd work with us.
01:04:05Everything would be, you know, okay.
01:04:08But now, it's safe nothing but doom.
01:04:12Tom, even if Kathleen didn't marry a palmer, we've still got other projects to focus on.
01:04:18Well, the company is not doing very well financially, and we're running out of funds.
01:04:26How can that be?
01:04:27When the Benson Group is huge?
01:04:29How can it just fall apart?
01:04:31The company has been in trouble for quite a while.
01:04:36And I thought if we hurried it up and teamed with the palmer,
01:04:40then everything would be okay.
01:04:45Get out of this mess.
01:04:48Elliot has money.
01:04:52Maybe, maybe he could help us.
01:04:59Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:05:00I wasn't completely honest.
01:05:04Elliot doesn't have money.
01:05:06What?
01:05:07Ah, you're a liar.
01:05:09I always knew he came for a poor background.
01:05:13Enough of this arguing.
01:05:15Another scenario.
01:05:20If we marry into the Jenkins family...
01:05:24I heard that Liam Jenkins is a player and has a bunch of girlfriends.
01:05:31I don't want to marry someone like that.
01:05:34Well, okay.
01:05:35You don't have to marry him if you don't want to.
01:05:38Let Claire marry him.
01:05:39All right, fine.
01:05:49Grandpa, I will marry him.
01:05:53I will marry him.
01:05:55The Benson Group is my mom's legacy.
01:05:57I can't let her efforts go to waste, no matter what it takes.
01:06:00You're really bumble, isn't it?
01:06:05Well, you're doing a great thing for the family.
01:06:11Oh, it's tough on you.
01:06:15Why do you look so serious?
01:06:31Is there something on your mind?
01:06:34Check out this confidentiality agreement.
01:06:39Confidentiality agreement?
01:06:41Just some things to remember after we break up.
01:06:44You want to break up with me?
01:06:48Don't worry.
01:06:49I'll make sure that you're well taken care of.
01:06:51Do you think I care about that?
01:06:52Don't forget the deal.
01:06:54I'm the one backing you up.
01:06:56Well, at least tell me why.
01:06:57It's not a reason.
01:07:01I've always been the one running this relationship.
01:07:03I can end it whenever I feel like it.
01:07:08I thought we had something real.
01:07:10I thought we had something real.
01:07:10I didn't expect you to be so good-looking.
01:07:12So you're Claire.
01:07:36Hi.
01:07:37I didn't expect you to be so good looking.
01:07:38Perhaps this arranged marriage thing won't work out so bad after all.
01:07:41Aren't we here to discuss business?
01:07:44Please, I doubt you're interested in me for that.
01:07:46Let's focus on us.
01:07:48Sure, go on.
01:07:50Well, firstly, you should know that this marriage is an agreement between our families.
01:07:54Don't expect me to fall for you.
01:07:56It's not a concern.
01:07:58Secondly, once we are married, we agree to keep out of each other's business.
01:08:03It's fine by me.
01:08:04I won't interfere with your life.
01:08:07There's something you should know, Mr. Jenkins.
01:08:10Go ahead.
01:08:11I'm pregnant.
01:08:17Relax, the father's not in the picture.
01:08:20And I'm guessing with all the kids you have running around, you wouldn't mind having another
01:08:24with me, would you?
01:08:26Miss Benson, you are as bold as the gossip says.
01:08:30Perhaps we will have some fun together down the line.
01:08:32Though I can never keep up with your wilds, I'm Mr. Jenkins.
01:08:35Let's just stick to our separate lives, hmm?
01:08:38So that's why you're leaving me?
01:08:45Boss, the engagement parties for the Jenkins and Benson families are scheduled for next week.
01:08:58Also, I've checked the hospital records.
01:09:01Miss Benson is four weeks pregnant.
01:09:04Miss Benson, you two are perfect together.
01:09:28Here's to see you both.
01:09:29Thank you, Miss Reyes.
01:09:32Miss Flores.
01:09:34This is another one of your business contacts.
01:09:37She is.
01:09:38And more than just business.
01:09:40You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity.
01:09:45I've also invited Mr. Palmer.
01:09:47You know him, right?
01:09:48Elliot Palmer.
01:09:49Yes, he's a pervert.
01:09:51How can he say that?
01:09:53If he actually turns up, it won't just be an honour.
01:09:54It would make working with other companies a breeze.
01:09:57Don't get your hopes up.
01:10:03Elliot's the wretchedest guy around who doesn't show up to us at any party.
01:10:06Kathleen, remind me.
01:10:08Who was it that upset Mrs. Palmer and got thrown out of her restaurant?
01:10:12Oh, also pretended to be part of the family.
01:10:15If Elliot doesn't show up, it's because you upset Mrs. Palmer.
01:10:19So what?
01:10:20Let me tell you something.
01:10:22If you think Elliot's showing up to this party, you're dreaming.
01:10:25Why don't you take a look at yourself and see if you're even worth it?
01:10:34Mr. Jenkins, Ms. Benson, Mr. Palmer is here.
01:10:55Mr. Palmer, I didn't expect to see you.
01:11:05Elliot?
01:11:06Is he the Palmer, Elliot?
01:11:10Don't be frozen, dear.
01:11:11Say hello to Mr. Palmer.
01:11:14Mr. Palmer, hello.
01:11:16Mr. Benson, I was surprised to hear about your engagement.
01:11:20I had to see it for myself.
01:11:24Wait, wait.
01:11:24So, Mr. Palmer, Claire, you two know each other?
01:11:27Well, that is great.
01:11:29Honey, what are you doing here?
01:11:30Honey, you're ready.
01:11:33Um, we've run into each other a couple of times.
01:11:37For business.
01:11:38I wouldn't say we're close.
01:11:39Well, it is an honour to have you here, Mr. Palmer.
01:11:44It really does mean a lot.
01:11:46Is the Palmer Group involved with the Jenkins family business?
01:11:50Yes.
01:11:50What a fantastic memory you have, Mr. Palmer.
01:11:53Yes, that's a project we started working on eight months ago.
01:11:57And I'm managing that one personally.
01:11:59Okay, good.
01:12:02Well, how about we end that partnership here?
01:12:06Excuse me.
01:12:07What did you say?
01:12:08The Palmer Group is cutting ties with the Jenkins family immediately.
01:12:12No future deals.
01:12:14Can you at least tell me why?
01:12:15What did I do wrong?
01:12:16I can fix this wrong.
01:12:18Well, you should probably talk to your fiancé about that.
01:12:24What have you done to upset Mr. Palmer?
01:12:26Apologise at once.
01:12:29I misunderstood the situation.
01:12:31I see that now.
01:12:32Please don't hold it against me.
01:12:35Don't hold it against you.
01:12:36Why didn't you think this sorry excuse for an apology will fix this?
01:12:41Player's not one for words.
01:12:43Don't take it personally, Mr. Palmer.
01:12:45If there's anything that we can do to set it right, just let us know.
01:12:48We'll do our best to fix this.
01:12:49Okay.
01:12:51Fine.
01:12:56If you're truly sorry,
01:13:00we'll drink these.
01:13:04Then maybe I'll consider forgiving you.
01:13:08Just do as Mr. Palmer says.
01:13:10I'm pregnant.
01:13:13I can't drink.
01:13:14So what?
01:13:16You want to stop the Benson Group from going under?
01:13:18I need you to cooperate.
01:13:24Mr. Palmer, I raise my glass to you.
01:13:26He drinks your baby's life for this clown.
01:13:36How did you know?
01:13:37I wish I had known sooner.
01:13:39What is going on here?
01:13:41What's happening between the two?
01:13:42No, nothing is going on.
01:13:44Then whose baby is it?
01:13:53Fine.
01:13:53If you won't say it, I will.
01:13:57Liam, your future wife is the mother of my child.
01:14:05Wow, can you believe it?
01:14:06The Benson's daughter is pregnant with Mr. Palmer's baby
01:14:09and is about to marry into the Jenkins family.
01:14:11This is such a disaster.
01:14:14Is Mr. Palmer here to stop the wedding?
01:14:16What is the Benson family thinking?
01:14:18Anyone with any sense would pick the Palmers over the Jenkins.
01:14:23Claire, why are you always the lucky one?
01:14:38Wait, what do you really want?
01:14:41Is it fun for you to mess with me like...
01:14:43Messing with you?
01:14:44You're all messing with me!
01:14:46Can't I just say I was wrong and go...
01:14:49I mean, give me a break, just let me leave!
01:14:51Let you leave!
01:14:52Sorry, do you really think Liam will still marry you if you go back now?
01:14:56If you went out marrying Liam, do you think I'll just back off from the Jenkins and Benson families?
01:15:00I'm doing what I must.
01:15:02Don't interfere.
01:15:03You're not marrying Liam because you want to rescue the...
01:15:06Yes, sir, what if I am?
01:15:07Well, if it's about saving the Benson group, I can help with that!
01:15:10What do you mean by that?
01:15:12Claire, I can help rescue the Benson group from this mess, but you need to...
01:15:20Dump Liam and marry me.
01:15:27Marry you?
01:15:28You can't save Benson group with Liam anymore.
01:15:30If you marry me, I can help you get through this whole mess.
01:15:34Late, I want your help.
01:15:41You have yet to show me your true cause.
01:15:43You just keep leading me on and now you want to marry me.
01:15:48What, am I supposed to just jump at whatever you say?
01:15:50No, that's not what I meant.
01:15:54This child should have a father too.
01:15:57Let me tell you, I don't care who the dad is.
01:15:59I never wanted a father from the start.
01:16:01This is just a big misunderstanding and you know why I was choosing a guy for help.
01:16:06Don't flatter yourself.
01:16:14So everything we had meant nothing to you?
01:16:21Fine.
01:16:24Whatever.
01:16:25Why can't I just say what I feel?
01:16:32Why do I always end up fighting with him?
01:16:45Mrs. Palmer.
01:16:47Claire.
01:16:49I know everything about you and Elliot.
01:16:51From the moment I first set eyes on you, I've been wishing that you and Elliot would be together.
01:16:58He and I...
01:17:00Oh.
01:17:02Did you two have an argument?
01:17:06Well, if you're feeling upset, just tell me and I'll take care of it.
01:17:13I said some really horrible things.
01:17:15Oh.
01:17:15We all have our moments.
01:17:19Don't stress about it.
01:17:29It's not a big deal.
01:17:30Just go inside and apologize.
01:17:34The person is here now.
01:17:36Whatever needs to be said has been said.
01:17:38And she...
01:17:39Whatever needs to be said has been said.
01:17:41And she was in trouble straight away.
01:17:43She thinks just because she's pregnant, she can behave however she wants.
01:17:48Pregnant?
01:17:49Are they talking about me?
01:17:52Is this what you think of me, Elliot?
01:17:53I was just trying to apologize.
01:17:59What do you think I think the move should be?
01:18:01I think we should keep it in the wraps now.
01:18:03Just don't tell Claire about it.
01:18:05You won't say it, but...
01:18:07I know inside you're still cheering for Claire.
01:18:09I know.
01:18:11Whichever.
01:18:16Grandfather.
01:18:18I'm sorry for ruining the engagement party.
01:18:21There's no need to be sorry.
01:18:24I just want you to be happy.
01:18:27And marry someone you truly love.
01:18:31Claire.
01:18:32You've been messing with us the whole time.
01:18:35Mr. Palmer can totally save the Benson Group.
01:18:37You didn't need Liam for that.
01:18:39I...
01:18:40Elliot is already putting money into the Benson Group.
01:18:45Well, when did that happen?
01:18:46He didn't tell me that.
01:18:48And he's also going to have a look at our financial details.
01:18:55Cassie?
01:18:56Are you okay?
01:18:57Okay.
01:18:57Are you okay?
01:18:58I'm okay.
01:18:59I'm okay.
01:19:04Now you two are pregnant.
01:19:05I'm really looking forward to seeing my grandchildren.
01:19:21Claire.
01:19:22I know that we've had our misunderstandings, but...
01:19:27I just really want to say today, in front of Grandpa, that I really am sorry.
01:19:37There you are, Claire.
01:19:39You two should be watching each other's backs.
01:19:44What did you do?
01:19:47There's something I need to show you.
01:19:51There you are, Claire.
01:19:52Well, have a look.
01:20:05Just tell me what you want to show me.
01:20:07What I need to show you is...
01:20:14I'm playing!
01:20:16I'm playing!
01:20:18Now it's your turn to play.
01:20:22There you are.
01:20:25Grandma, where's Claire?
01:20:27Well, Claire had something to do.
01:20:29Went home.
01:20:31I'll go and look for her.
01:20:35Elliot still cares about Claire.
01:20:38Catelyn, what kind of crazy is this?
01:20:41It's all your fault, Claire.
01:20:43I was supposed to inherit the Benson family business
01:20:48And I was meant to marry into the Palmer family
01:20:51You fucked up my whole life
01:20:54Kathleen, you brought that on yourself
01:20:56How is any of this my fault?
01:20:58If you hadn't gotten in the way
01:21:00Kathleen, let me out of here
01:21:03You can't just keep me in here
01:21:05What's the rush?
01:21:08We're just getting started
01:21:09Who'd have thought that the great Miss Benson would be scared of the dark
01:21:23I'd love to see your face right now
01:21:25He's shaking in fear
01:21:27Kathleen, don't take this too far
01:21:32If Grandpa finds out
01:21:33Then I'll just make sure that he doesn't find out
01:21:36Aren't you the one who's always so amazing?
01:21:40Don't you just love to be the centre of attention?
01:21:44The people know that you can be this pathetic
01:21:46Well, from now on, I'll protect you
01:21:52I'm telling you, we're on here
01:21:59We're on here
01:22:01Elliot
01:22:03Stop dreaming
01:22:07You still think he's coming to rescue you?
01:22:11Just give me the family inheritance
01:22:14And I'll think about letting you out
01:22:16What is wrong with you?
01:22:29The wine
01:22:30Kathleen, if anything's happened to Claire or the baby
01:22:39You'll regret it for the rest of your life
01:22:40Oh, my baby
01:22:51Oh, my baby
01:22:52Oh, my baby
01:22:52What?
01:22:56What's Claire on here?
01:22:58Lee, what's happening?
01:22:59I used to make up with my sister
01:23:02And she said that she's the only one that loves the inheritance
01:23:07And then she knocked me down
01:23:09How could you be so cruel?
01:23:13What if something happened to your sister and the baby?
01:23:15No, no
01:23:15It wasn't my fault
01:23:17It was her fault
01:23:18Mom
01:23:19Grandpa
01:23:20Is the baby gonna be okay?
01:23:23Claire just really wants the family business
01:23:25And she can have my shirt
01:23:27As long as she lets me and my baby be safe
01:23:30Claire, when will this stop?
01:23:32Tom, you saw what happened
01:23:34You have to stop this madness
01:23:36I can't believe you
01:23:38Stoop cell now
01:23:39What is it you find so amusing, Mr. Palmer?
01:23:48I'm just admiring Kathleen's little performance
01:23:52How can you lose a baby when you're not even pregnant?
01:24:00What do you mean she's not pregnant?
01:24:02I'll give you proof
01:24:03What is this scammer doing here?
01:24:11Kathleen, there's only 30 grand left in this account
01:24:13How do I possibly pay off my debts with only that, huh?
01:24:15Shanda
01:24:16What's going on?
01:24:19Kathleen says she's pregnant
01:24:20Is that true?
01:24:22Having a baby?
01:24:23Kathleen can't even have kids
01:24:25The whole pregnancy thing was just a bloody trick to grab control of the bensinger
01:24:29Shanda
01:24:29Grandpa, how can you believe this lie yet?
01:24:34It's been for children, she
01:24:35Exactly
01:24:36Kathleen can't even have babies
01:24:37And she knows exactly what's going on with the Benson family's money, don't she?
01:24:43What does Benson group's finances have to do with Kathleen?
01:24:46This has been Kathleen's plan all along
01:24:48Tom, your beloved granddaughter
01:24:50She's been training money from the Benson company all along
01:24:53Kathleen?
01:24:56I'm disgusted in you
01:24:58I can't have a child
01:25:01You said that whoever had a child first would get the business
01:25:07What am I supposed to do?
01:25:10That's enough
01:25:11You're scouting in person?
01:25:15Come here with us
01:25:16No, no, no
01:25:17Mommy, no
01:25:19Mommy, no
01:25:20Mommy
01:25:28Sweetheart
01:25:29I've heard it all
01:25:32How do you feel?
01:25:33Are you okay?
01:25:34Yeah, I feel shaken up
01:25:36But I'm fine
01:25:37Well, don't stress
01:25:39Kathleen's already locked up
01:25:41She can't hurt you anymore
01:25:43I knew it
01:25:44There's definitely something going on between Claire and Elliot
01:25:48Yes
01:25:49Yes, you were right
01:25:51When Elliot turns up
01:25:54If he doesn't treat you right
01:25:56I'll make sure he does
01:25:58What are you waiting for on invitation?
01:26:15Look
01:26:16I get that you're mad at me
01:26:17And you don't make me hear my apology
01:26:18But I need to say I'm sorry
01:26:21Is that all?
01:26:24You have nothing else you want to say to me?
01:26:25Wait
01:26:27What do you mean?
01:26:29Well, I think every kid deserves a dad
01:26:31So if you're not up for it
01:26:32I'm going to be the best dad in the world
01:26:33Hey, everyone
01:26:50Give her some space
01:26:51Give her some space
01:26:52We heard you got engaged
01:26:54But then broke it off with Mr. Jenkins
01:26:55And what's going on?
01:26:56Ms. Benson
01:26:57The Benson Group was on the verge of collapse
01:26:59But then bounced back overnight
01:27:00How did that happen?
01:27:01Well, there are rumours that your sister has been arrested
01:27:03Do you have anything to say about that?
01:27:05Come on, guys

01:27:20Has really strict rules about his inheritance
01:27:22How did you meet those requirements?
01:27:23What's your connection with Elliot Palmer
01:27:26The CEO of Palmer Group?
