00:00:00Someone went wild last night.
00:00:24Not too bad.
00:00:25As far as the last night of being single goes.
00:00:27I don't get it, man.
00:00:28Why'd she leave without saying goodbye?
00:00:30Maybe she's on the way to the marriage registry to marry you.
00:00:33Yeah, maybe.
00:00:35So, according to your mother's will, as soon as you get married, you'll receive the share she left for you.
00:00:40So I've arranged for someone for you to have a fake marriage with.
00:00:42I trust your taste.
00:00:48Oh, look at that.
00:00:49The woman who agreed to your fake marriage is already on her way.
00:00:52Whoever she is, with that marriage license, the normal group officially becomes mine.
00:00:56So why didn't you go with what your grandfather's arranged for marriage?
00:00:59Man, I'd much rather be that girl from last night, but I don't know if I'm going to ever see her again.
00:01:12Good to see you.
00:01:41If I had known that you were the person I was going to marry, we could have shared a ride from the hotel.
00:01:47Well, I am short on cash these days, so...
00:01:49Same.
00:01:50I had to borrow the suit.
00:01:52It's a good suit.
00:01:53This is all that I have today.
00:01:56Thank you for coming, and you'll get the rest when we divorce in one year.
00:02:06I guess I deserve an Oscar for my performance today.
00:02:10With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:14Inform the whole company.
00:02:20A new era starts today.
00:02:23Sure thing.
00:02:25You murderers.
00:02:27Better watch your backs.
00:02:29I'm coming for you.
00:02:31I'm going to avenge you.
00:02:33Mom.
00:02:33With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:43I guess it's time to show them who's boss.
00:02:46Yes, boss.
00:02:47What?
00:03:05New presents here?
00:03:13Let's go.
00:03:14Let's go.
00:03:17Now?
00:03:21Yes.
00:03:43Renee!
00:03:44Looks like my stepsister decided to crawl back out of hell.
00:03:48Unfortunately for you, I'm here to kick you two out of my mother's company.
00:03:51Your mother's?
00:03:52You know her name means nothing.
00:03:54Now it belongs to my mom.
00:03:56Speaking of her, great job selling off all the company's shares.
00:03:59I'm sure the new president will reward you for that.
00:04:01How did...
00:04:02How did you...
00:04:03That's ridiculous.
00:04:05I think we should settle this in front of everyone.
00:04:10Here they come.
00:04:11As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president.
00:04:27As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:30Mrs. Mara Brown.
00:04:34Who, me?
00:04:36No doubt.
00:04:37Mrs. Brown was the plan for you to take over.
00:04:40Are you sure she's the new president of the company?
00:04:43Who else would it be?
00:04:45Your mother from six feet under?
00:04:46Well, then you must have the invitation from Norman.
00:04:54What invitation?
00:04:55For the party tonight.
00:04:56They've invited all their business partners, including...
00:04:59Laura Group.
00:05:02Of course I do.
00:05:04Great.
00:05:05Then I will see you there.
00:05:08Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:05:11Excuse me?
00:05:34How dare you?
00:05:36I'm the president of the Laura Group.
00:05:38I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:05:39I can only accept invitations.
00:05:40Oh, looks like I forgot it at home.
00:05:48Can I speak with your manager?
00:05:49Just admit it, Mara.
00:05:50You're not the president.
00:05:51You don't have an invitation.
00:05:53Where's your invitation, then?
00:05:59Damon, help!
00:06:03This skank is trying to bully me because I didn't have an invitation.
00:06:06Don't worry, honeypuff.
00:06:10As the host of this party, I can guarantee no one's going to mess with you.
00:06:15The whole Norman family doesn't welcome someone like you.
00:06:18The host?
00:06:19So that means you're the heir to the Norman family?
00:06:24Yes, I have a lot going on lately.
00:06:26What the fuck are you doing?
00:06:30Get her out of here.
00:06:32Mr. Norman, is that any way to treat a guest?
00:06:42What the fuck are you doing?
00:06:43Get her out of here.
00:06:44Mr. Norman, is that any way to treat a guest?
00:06:47How did you...
00:06:51No, that has to be a fake.
00:07:01May I?
00:07:07Damon!
00:07:08Stop her!
00:07:13Really?
00:07:14Really?
00:07:17Dorothy, can you look up Damon Norman for me on top of the head of the charity meeting here?
00:07:25Are you alright, my dear wife?
00:07:51What are you doing here?
00:07:52You're working.
00:07:57What about you?
00:08:00I'm...
00:08:01Someone's escort.
00:08:05You do know you're married, right?
00:08:09Of course.
00:08:10I can't just rely on my husband's tips.
00:08:13Your husband's not like a real jerk.
00:08:15He's the worst.
00:08:17Well, I didn't know this party for dirty rats.
00:08:20Neither did I.
00:08:22Until you showed up.
00:08:32Clean that up.
00:08:37Are you really asking me?
00:08:42Are you really asking me?
00:08:44Well, of course I am.
00:08:45I'm the fiancé of the heir to the Norman family.
00:08:57Oh!
00:08:58Oh!
00:08:59How could you do that?
00:09:01Do you know how much that costs?
00:09:02Well, with the price of the champagne that's on it,
00:09:04I would say your fur just increased in value.
00:09:07It's my stepsister.
00:09:18Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:21No worries.
00:09:22All families have issues.
00:09:24You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:26Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:32In return,
00:09:34you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:39I couldn't afford that.
00:09:47Get the necklace from the safe.
00:09:49Someone deserves a gift.
00:09:51Here's a gift for Ms. Brown.
00:10:11Oh, that's me.
00:10:13Oh, it's beautiful.
00:10:16I bet Damon got this for me.
00:10:18Much better than an invitation,
00:10:20if I do say so myself.
00:10:22Mara,
00:10:23is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:26Wait,
00:10:26this is for, uh,
00:10:27Ms. Renee Brown?
00:10:30I'm Renee Brown.
00:10:34May I ask who sent this?
00:10:35Sorry, I don't know.
00:10:40You bitch!
00:10:42You set this entire thing up
00:10:44with a fake necklace and everything
00:10:45just to embarrass me!
00:10:47Mara,
00:10:48the only person embarrassing you here
00:10:49is yourself.
00:10:50No one has ever given you a gift
00:10:53because you are an unwanted loser!
00:10:56Unwanted?
00:10:58Says who?
00:11:06Unwanted?
00:11:07Says who?
00:11:11She's with me.
00:11:12Oh, a skank and a server.
00:11:16How fitting.
00:11:17But you know what, sister?
00:11:18I did think you would go with someone
00:11:20more of like a washed up
00:11:21in his 80s type.
00:11:23No, thank you.
00:11:24But speaking of losers,
00:11:25you should probably go check in
00:11:27with your fiance.
00:11:28My fiance is the heir
00:11:30to the Norman group.
00:11:32One word,
00:11:33and he'll have both of you two
00:11:34out on your asses.
00:11:35I would like to see him try.
00:11:39Damon,
00:11:40come to my rescue, please.
00:11:42Hey, what's going on?
00:11:44Hello, Damon.
00:11:46So you're her fiance,
00:11:48the heir to the Norman group?
00:11:50Yes, speak with some respect.
00:11:52He's full of lies.
00:11:55He's not the real heir.
00:11:56He's not the real heir.
00:12:04Are you accusing him?
00:12:06Why don't you let him
00:12:07speak for himself?
00:12:10Enough.
00:12:11I'll make a scene.
00:12:12Let's go.
00:12:13Come on.
00:12:14Let me spell it out for you two.
00:12:16He's the cousin to the heir
00:12:18who likes to use the family name
00:12:20to scam people.
00:12:22How do you know that?
00:12:24Because I'm the real heir.
00:12:25He's the heir's assistant.
00:12:29Right, Damon?
00:12:32And you know the cost of lying.
00:12:35Right, Damon?
00:12:38Yes.
00:12:44Just...
00:12:45Just let me go.
00:12:47Please.
00:12:52Damon may have been lying,
00:12:53Margaret Brown,
00:12:54but you're not fooling me.
00:12:55It is not your time to speak,
00:13:05so I would shut it
00:13:06if I were you.
00:13:10Can you tell him
00:13:11to meet me at the ballroom?
00:13:14May I speak to the president
00:13:16of the Laura Group?
00:13:17That's me.
00:13:18What do you want?
00:13:19Such an honor
00:13:20to finally meet you.
00:13:21Thank you and your company
00:13:22for the generous donation.
00:13:23It will benefit
00:13:24so many children.
00:13:26Oh, yeah.
00:13:27Don't worry about it.
00:13:28It's nothing.
00:13:29Would you prefer
00:13:30the five million as a check
00:13:31or a bank transfer?
00:13:34Five million?
00:13:35What?
00:13:36Your assistant
00:13:36asked me to meet you here.
00:13:38Or
00:13:38you could just sign your name
00:13:41on this contract.
00:13:45You framed me.
00:13:46Oh.
00:13:47Well, it's not framing
00:13:48if you're the real president.
00:13:50Unless...
00:13:51You're lying.
00:13:57You framed me.
00:13:59Well, it's not framing
00:14:00if you're the real president.
00:14:02Unless...
00:14:03You're lying.
00:14:05Uh, you know what?
00:14:09I don't feel so well.
00:14:11Um, I don't even think
00:14:12I could pick up that pen.
00:14:13You'll have to find me
00:14:14another day.
00:14:19Mara's a fake.
00:14:21I'm such a fool.
00:14:22Oh, don't be too hard
00:14:23on yourself.
00:14:24Well, where's the real president?
00:14:29I know.
00:14:31The real president?
00:14:35It's in the office.
00:14:50Can I have a dance with you?
00:14:57Seems like everyone
00:14:58has trust issues tonight.
00:15:00Do you?
00:15:03Like what?
00:15:05Are you really
00:15:06just an assistant?
00:15:13What about you?
00:15:15Are you really an escort?
00:15:17Where's your client?
00:15:22Seems like everyone
00:15:23has secrets.
00:15:25Sometimes the best solution
00:15:27is to just ignore the problem.
00:15:30At least for tonight.
00:15:31I agree.
00:15:33But I have to admit
00:15:35it'll probably be difficult
00:15:35for me going to suppress
00:15:36my curiosity.
00:15:38Then I guess I'll have
00:15:39to keep you busy.
00:15:41How so?
00:15:41And the very first moment so far
00:16:02stirring all the heart
00:16:06felt the love
00:16:07I gave no longer
00:16:09starts to bloom
00:16:11with you in mind
00:16:12when I learn
00:16:14to find with you
00:16:16a way to hold
00:16:18not lose
00:16:19How generous.
00:16:30Dude,
00:16:37Lord Group
00:16:38is dumping
00:16:38our shares
00:16:39our stock price
00:16:40is crashing.
00:16:41What?
00:16:41Do we know who the president
00:16:50is yet?
00:16:51I checked every news source
00:16:52so I can't find anything
00:16:53on who the president is.
00:16:59That's impossible.
00:17:00What is it?
00:17:02Laura Brown?
00:17:04The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:05Didn't she pass away
00:17:06like five years ago?
00:17:07I'm going to get
00:17:08to the bottom of this.
00:17:10Phase one completed.
00:17:12Mara and her mother
00:17:13had heavily invested
00:17:14in Norman Group
00:17:15so now it's time
00:17:15to watch their assets shrink.
00:17:17By the way,
00:17:18I made the donation
00:17:19in your mother's name.
00:17:20Thank you, Dottie.
00:17:21But I've been meaning
00:17:22to ask,
00:17:24won't doing this
00:17:24also affect
00:17:25Laura Group's assets?
00:17:27Nothing ventured,
00:17:28nothing gained.
00:17:30Don't worry.
00:17:31I have a plan.
00:17:33I trust you,
00:17:34but don't overdo it.
00:17:36I have a feeling
00:17:38I'll be meeting
00:17:38the heir of Norman Group
00:17:39very soon.
00:17:41Dear president,
00:17:43it's time to teach
00:17:44you a lesson.
00:17:51The informant says
00:17:54the president of Laura Group
00:17:55will be here tonight.
00:17:56I'll flush out this rat.
00:17:58I swear.
00:18:04Renee?
00:18:05Parrot,
00:18:06what are you doing here?
00:18:07I'm here to meet
00:18:08with the real president
00:18:09of the Laura Group.
00:18:11Have you seen...
00:18:12Damn, Paul.
00:18:17I forgot my wallet
00:18:18in the car.
00:18:19Um,
00:18:20why don't you order
00:18:21your drink?
00:18:22It's on me.
00:18:30Are you the one
00:18:31messing with the stocks?
00:18:32You're the president.
00:18:33Shouldn't you be
00:18:34asking yourself that?
00:18:35Well,
00:18:36I just wanted to let you know
00:18:37that we'll be selling off
00:18:39some art pieces
00:18:40to cover the losses.
00:18:41And yeah,
00:18:42that's your mom's last piece.
00:18:44The bid
00:18:45goes for one dollar.
00:18:52And yeah,
00:18:53that's your mom's last piece.
00:18:56The bid
00:18:56goes for one dollar.
00:18:59I hope you have
00:19:00your invitation
00:19:01for the auction.
00:19:02You crazy bitch!
00:19:09Things are different now,
00:19:10sister.
00:19:10I'm gonna get
00:19:11every single one
00:19:12of her pieces back.
00:19:13This isn't over!

00:19:20your artwork
00:19:21and your company.
00:19:22I promise.
00:19:25Hey,
00:19:26who's got you
00:19:27so down, chica?
00:19:28Leave me alone.
00:19:29No,
00:19:30you need my company.
00:19:32leave her alone.
00:19:44Who the fuck?
00:19:45I'm her husband.
00:19:47I get it.
00:19:48Someone's unsatisfied.
00:19:50Fuck!
00:19:51Are you alright?
00:20:02Fine.
00:20:09You feeling confident?
00:20:11Let's see.
00:20:15Let us go.
00:20:16Unless you want to see
00:20:17some blood.
00:20:20Run.
00:20:20Run.
00:20:20They're not there now.
00:20:38Alright.
00:20:40Let's go.
00:20:40Just to be safe.
00:20:52I think I should
00:20:52hold your hands
00:20:53a little longer.
00:20:56Is just
00:20:56holding my hands
00:20:57enough?
00:20:59Not really.
00:21:01What else do you want?
00:21:03The auction's tomorrow.
00:21:2390% of the items
00:21:24are your mother's
00:21:25belongings,
00:21:25starting at $1.
00:21:26They're trying to
00:21:30humiliate her.
00:21:31And we can't let them
00:21:32get away with this.
00:21:33Yeah, but
00:21:34Mara's definitely
00:21:34going to have some
00:21:35tricks up her sleeve.
00:21:36And we need a white knight.
00:21:43Norman!
00:21:43Are you okay?
00:21:55You sounded urgent
00:21:56on the phone.
00:21:57I need to ask you
00:21:58a favor.
00:21:59As long as I can
00:21:59make it happen.
00:22:01I need you to pretend
00:22:02to be the heir
00:22:02of Norman Group.
00:22:03You want me to
00:22:10impersonate
00:22:10the heir of Norman?
00:22:12Heir's assistant.
00:22:13There's no one
00:22:13better for the job.
00:22:15I can ask him
00:22:16for real.
00:22:17These items were
00:22:18supposed to be
00:22:18my mother's legacy.
00:22:20And then she was
00:22:21kicked out of the
00:22:21group that she founded
00:22:22by Mara's mother.
00:22:23And now they're
00:22:24trying to cash in
00:22:24on her belongings.
00:22:26And you need
00:22:27the heir to back
00:22:27you at the auction.
00:22:29You're my only choice.
00:22:33Since you're Laura's
00:22:38daughter, do you
00:22:39know who the new
00:22:39president is?
00:22:43Of course.
00:22:44Who is it?
00:22:50Me.
00:22:57Who is it?
00:23:00Me.
00:23:03I'm sorry.
00:23:07That was a bad joke.
00:23:11Thank goodness
00:23:11that you're not
00:23:12a stand-up comedian.
00:23:16Enough said.
00:23:17I can help you
00:23:18to get those things
00:23:19back.
00:23:33Are you being
00:23:37watched?
00:23:38Not yet.
00:23:40Did I really have to
00:23:40dress like a secret agent?
00:23:43Mara's met you
00:23:44already.
00:23:44She might recognize you.
00:23:46No way.
00:23:48In this outfit,
00:23:49I barely even
00:23:50recognize myself.
00:23:51Renee.
00:24:03Renee.
00:24:14Renee.
00:24:16It's been a long time.
00:24:17Oh, not long enough.
00:24:20Did you even think
00:24:20about saying hello
00:24:21when you got back?
00:24:22Well, I don't exactly
00:24:23fit in with a family
00:24:24of thieves and liars.
00:24:25Isn't that right,
00:24:26Miss President?
00:24:28Oh, sharp tongue
00:24:29just like your mother.
00:24:30I wonder how many
00:24:31auction items
00:24:32you're going to get
00:24:32to buy before you
00:24:33deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:35I wonder what the value
00:24:36of a useless dead body
00:24:37would bring to you tonight.
00:24:38Don't worry.
00:24:41The only thing
00:24:42you can steal
00:24:43from my mother and I
00:24:44is this coward.

00:26:56I knew it!
00:26:57You're the assistant!
00:26:59Assistant?
00:27:00How is the assistant
00:27:01going to pay
00:27:01for all this?
00:27:02About that.
00:27:03According to
00:27:04my mother's will,
00:27:05these items
00:27:06were always mine.
00:27:08And now they're
00:27:08finally back
00:27:09where they belong.
00:27:09I see that!
00:27:12Chloe,
00:27:13I have to thank you
00:27:14for holding this auction.
00:27:15Otherwise,
00:27:16I never would have
00:27:17known where
00:27:17you'd hidden them.
00:27:18That orphanage
00:27:19has taught you
00:27:20quite a bit,
00:27:21hasn't.
00:27:28All the items
00:27:29today
00:27:29will go to
00:27:30Renee Brown.
00:27:47I wouldn't have
00:27:48gotten these back
00:27:49so quickly
00:27:49if it wasn't
00:27:50for you.
00:27:50I was just
00:27:51doing my job
00:27:52as your husband.
00:27:56I have
00:27:56something for you.
00:28:00Even though
00:28:00this is a marriage
00:28:01of convenience,
00:28:03we should still
00:28:04have rings.
00:28:05Are you sure?
00:28:06It was your mom's.
00:28:08More than ever.
00:28:09Renee Brown,
00:28:17will you marry me?
00:28:25You're too late.
00:28:28I'm already taken
00:28:29by you.
00:28:33Bye-bye.
00:28:40Bye-bye.
00:28:41Bye-bye.

00:28:53Bye-bye.
00:29:03I'm so excited to see you next time.
00:29:33Wake up, Rene.
00:29:35Norman Group is fighting back.
00:29:36They're buying up our stock in large quantities.
00:29:39What?
00:29:42Are you sure about that?
00:29:44I'm done lying to her.
00:29:45I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge
00:29:47of the Norman Group.
00:29:56Something urgent?
00:29:56Yeah, it's, I'll explain later.
00:30:03Maybe next time.
00:30:14I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa.
00:30:16I didn't know I needed permission to come to my old office.
00:30:21How's Florida?
00:30:22Not bad.
00:30:24Until I found out that you're married to somebody
00:30:27I don't even know?
00:30:29Yep.
00:30:30My ship has sailed.
00:30:32Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:34Is that so?
00:30:35I've already called Fiona back from Europe.
00:30:39Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:41I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:44Not even you can interfere with my life anymore.
00:30:50You don't know what I'm capable of, young man.
00:30:53It's a good thing we reacted quickly, damage wasn't too severe.
00:31:04How come we're meeting here and not at your house?
00:31:08Barrett's there.
00:31:09Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:10No.
00:31:11Not yet.
00:31:12Still haven't told him.
00:31:18Hello?
00:31:19Are you available tonight?
00:31:21I have something to tell you.
00:31:31What happened?
00:31:32Nothing.
00:31:33Just some family issues.
00:31:34Well, I'm an expert in that.
00:31:39If you are having family issues, you could always come stay at my place.
00:31:45Are you asking me to move in with you?
00:31:47Will you?
00:31:49Barry.
00:31:50Barry.
00:31:51I missed you so much.
00:31:53Fiona.
00:32:02It's been so long.
00:32:03You still like black coffee?
00:32:05No.
00:32:07I admire your devotion.
00:32:09And who is she?
00:32:12This is Renee.
00:32:13She's my...
00:32:14This blind date.
00:32:15Really?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17But I have to think twice about whether to continue.
00:32:20Well, I guess I've been gone for too long.
00:32:23But I came back to marry Barrett.
00:32:26Isn't that right?
00:32:29Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:31I know.
00:32:32But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me.
00:32:37Is that so?
00:32:38Good to know.
00:32:41Excuse me for a moment.
00:32:43You two can wrap it up.
00:32:47Renee, let me explain first.
00:32:49Explain what?
00:32:50You have a gravely ill grandfather, you have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment?
00:32:56That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:32:59Wait!
00:33:00It's not true.
00:33:01Oh, what's going on?
00:33:02You two had a fight?
00:33:03None of your business.
00:33:04Very.
00:33:05I haven't had time to book a hotel yet.
00:33:06Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:07Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:08Sweet dreams.
00:33:09Both of you.
00:33:10Enough.
00:33:11I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:12So she's your quickie wife?
00:33:13Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:14She's not a quickie.
00:33:15She's the love of my life.
00:33:16I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:31So she's your quickie wife?
00:33:32Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:34Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:36She's not a quickie.
00:33:38She's the love of my life.
00:34:04You invited me.
00:34:05No taking backsies.
00:34:30I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:32No chance.
00:34:34The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal.
00:34:44I know.
00:34:46And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:49You promise?
00:34:51I promise.
00:34:53No one kisses never about you.
00:35:04I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:14No man.
00:35:15I moved in with Renee.
00:35:16Oh yeah.
00:35:17Totally normal thing to do.
00:35:19For a married couple.
00:35:21Okay, look.
00:35:22I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose.
00:35:25What do you think about me purchasing the Laura Group as a gift for her?
00:35:29You think she'll like it?
00:35:31Oh my god.
00:35:32I hate rich people.
00:35:34Come on man.
00:35:35I mean it.
00:35:36Look, it was founded by her mom.
00:35:38Right?
00:35:39And I know that we still don't know who the president is.
00:35:41But the company deserves to be back in the hands of its rightful owner.
00:35:44Alright.
00:35:45Romeo.
00:35:46The front desk handed this to me.
00:35:50Said it was from someone anonymous.
00:35:52Wait a second.
00:35:53Isn't this the room that me and Renee first met?
00:36:01Don't tell me she's planning on proposing officially as well.
00:36:05We'll see.
00:36:19Renee?
00:36:20Oh.
00:36:21Hi.
00:36:22I just keep loving you more.
00:36:45Yeah.
00:36:46Me too.
00:36:47What the hell?
00:36:48I can take you there.
00:36:51Hey, don't worry.
00:36:53What happens here stays here.
00:36:56No.
00:36:57You're psychotic.
00:36:59Does she know who you really are?
00:37:01You two are from completely different worlds.
00:37:04There's no future for you and her.
00:37:06Thanks for your input.
00:37:08If you leave, you're gonna regret it.
00:37:10If I stay, I'll regret it.
00:37:12I don't think about pulling any more tricks.
00:37:14I can pull all of your company's investments in a second.
00:37:16I can pull all of your company's investments in a second.
00:37:18You have something for me?
00:37:42I'm sorry, but you deserve to know.
00:37:46I know you're married to him, and I said no at first, but as you know, his passion is unstoppable.
00:37:58Don't be sad over a man who doesn't love you.
00:38:04Is that it?
00:38:06What do you mean?
00:38:08Are you okay with your husband cheating on you?
00:38:10Why not?
00:38:12I'd have told Renee everything.
00:38:16Your plan failed.
00:38:19Better luck next time.
00:38:26No, stop.
00:38:28That won't work on me.
00:38:29You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:32Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:34And don't ever come back.
00:38:37Renee, do you really trust your husband?
00:38:41Tone father.
00:38:42I know he has the secrets.
00:38:45And I've got mine.
00:38:48We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:51Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:38:53You, you, you, you.
00:38:54You're alright, Fiona.
00:38:55I'm sorry.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:57You're alright, Fiona.
00:38:58Finally.
00:38:59Finally.
00:39:22It's got you so happy.
00:39:26You're halfway for tonight.
00:39:27You can't tell me now?
00:39:29Gotta keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship.
00:39:33Okay, drama queen.
00:39:38Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:41I need you at the office now.
00:39:45Norman.
00:39:53Norman.
00:39:53What's wrong?
00:39:59Something happened?
00:39:59Something urgent just came up.
00:40:01I gotta go.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:03Don't forget to be back by 7.
00:40:05I've got some important planned.
00:40:11What's going on?
00:40:12How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:14Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out.
00:40:17Plus the other shares that Norman bought at high prices.
00:40:21Norman Group now owns 50% of the company.
00:40:24Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:27The company is now expecting their president out there.
00:40:30Are you sure about this?
00:40:32What are you doing here?
00:40:42What are you doing here?
00:40:45I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:47I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:49Even if you are the president, I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group.
00:40:56What a shame.
00:40:57The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company.
00:41:00I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat.
00:41:03Security, kick her out.
00:41:05I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:08Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:10No, until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting, I still have control of this company.
00:41:14Let me go.
00:41:15Are you really going to let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:17It still belongs to our family.
00:41:19Family.
00:41:20How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:23Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette.
00:41:28I think you need a lesson.
00:41:31Don't you dare!
00:41:33What?
00:41:39Don't you dare!
00:41:40What?
00:41:45This is my final warning.
00:41:47This is a Brown family matter.
00:41:50You need not get involved.
00:41:52Funny.
00:41:52I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household.
00:41:55Is the heirs' assistant always so audacious?
00:41:58Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman to appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group.
00:42:06Are you serious?
00:42:07You heard me right.
00:42:08Now, I assume you would like to clear out these three?
00:42:11I am so sorry, but since you've traded away all of your shares, you no longer have any stake in the Laura Group.
00:42:19Please leave.
00:42:21Let's go, ladies.
00:42:22Let's go.
00:42:22Let me get this straight.
00:42:30Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laura Group, wants me to be president?
00:42:35Indeed.
00:42:36Well, I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:37I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:41Except.
00:42:49I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:53Except.
00:42:53Well, I was going to tell you tonight, actually, I...
00:42:58Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:00Huh?
00:43:01My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:03How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:05Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:07Opposing him?
00:43:08What do you mean?
00:43:09I should have told you sooner.
00:43:14I've been president of Laura Group all along.
00:43:16Wait.
00:43:17So you're the reason for the stock drop?
00:43:19Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence.
00:43:28It must have taken you a lot to make this happen.
00:43:31You have to let me meet Mr. Norman.
00:43:33Um, sure.
00:43:36Sure.
00:43:37What are you waiting for?
00:43:39Um.
00:43:49Dude, why didn't you come clean back there?
00:43:55It's too much for her to process today.
00:43:56I'll take it to her another day.
00:43:58What are you hesitating for, man?
00:44:00Isn't it a good thing for the husband to be loaded eye candy?
00:44:05Renee isn't shallow like that.
00:44:07If she finds out that she lost to me in this business arrangement,
00:44:10she's not going to get happy.
00:44:11Well, you played the game and you won.
00:44:14She needs to accept that.
00:44:16She can lose, okay?
00:44:18But not to me in disguise.
00:44:20It's different.
00:44:22I guess marriage is hard.
00:44:25Can't wait to see your wedding day.
00:44:30The thing I fear most is deceit and betrayal.
00:44:34Congrats, Renee.
00:44:44I always knew you were something special.
00:44:46Really?
00:44:47Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:50Well, everyone makes mistakes.
00:44:53But that won't happen again now that you're in charge.
00:44:56Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous.
00:44:59Only someone like you could pull it off.
00:45:00What, this?
00:45:01No, this is a knockoff.
00:45:03Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off,
00:45:05and I wear it for fun.
00:45:07No way.
00:45:09I've never made mistakes in luxury.
00:45:11There's no chance that's a knockoff.
00:45:13All right, I'm not going to hold you accountable for the past.
00:45:16You can stop with the flattery.
00:45:17For short, stop sucking up.
00:45:20Don't you have work to be doing?
00:45:22Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
00:45:23But seriously, that necklace is real.
00:45:26No flattery, just facts.
00:45:33That necklace is real.
00:45:36No flattery, just facts.
00:45:41What if Carl's right?
00:45:43How much would that cost?
00:45:44No.
00:45:45Even though he works for Norman Group, something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:50Unless...
00:45:51Because I'm the real heir, a sister.
00:45:54I came back to marry Barrett.
00:45:56I was going to tell you tonight, actually...
00:45:58No, Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:07Hold on.
00:46:07The necklace is real.
00:46:12Look.
00:46:13Your Barrett is Barrett Norman, the heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:21Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:23Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:26What?
00:46:27Who did this?
00:46:28Get the PR team in here.
00:46:36I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:41Uh, you have a visitor.
00:46:43Not now!
00:46:49So the article was true.
00:46:52Let me explain.
00:46:53I was going to tell you earlier, but then I found out that you were the...
00:46:56Well, I found out that I was the president of the company you acquired.
00:46:59Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:01Not true.
00:47:02Then what is the truth?
00:47:04Were you afraid to hurt my pride?
00:47:05Or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:08You don't get it, Renee.
00:47:09I acquired the Lord Group for you as a gift.
00:47:12I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:14Don't talk about my mother.
00:47:16I don't get it.
00:47:17You were so excited about this before you knew who I was, so why not now?
00:47:20Because I don't need your mercy.
00:47:22I had a plan.
00:47:23I was capable of doing it myself.
00:47:25It was your husband.
00:47:26I wanted to help you to carry the burden.
00:47:28Is that so wrong?
00:47:29No.
00:47:32Not anymore.
00:47:35What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:41Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:43We're getting a divorce.
00:47:45Renee.
00:47:45Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:47:55Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:47:56What is there to talk about?
00:47:58We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:01Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:02Both executives, both enjoy identity games.
00:48:05I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:06I am.
00:48:10I feel like you're being a little too impulsive.
00:48:12If Barrett had known you as the president, maybe he wouldn't have acted like this.
00:48:16Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way.
00:48:18Maybe that's my issue.
00:48:19The Browns think money can solve anything.
00:48:24Including love and dignity.
00:48:28I don't know if Barrett's like that too.
00:48:31You do.
00:48:33You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:35Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:54Renee.
00:48:55What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:05You're back.
00:49:20I'm sorry.
00:49:22I did it out of love for you.
00:49:24Please forgive me.
00:49:25It's okay.
00:49:26I have my faults too.
00:49:28So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:30Why should I?
00:49:32I'm not dreaming, am I?
00:49:35No.
00:49:40This is real.
00:49:43Let's get you to bed.
00:49:53Relax.
00:49:55Come here Renee.
00:50:05What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:28What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:31What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:36Don't you remember?
00:50:37It was you who suggested we get together last night.
00:50:39What?
00:50:40No way.
00:50:41Last night it was, it was Renee.
00:50:45It was you.
00:50:47Don't get close to me.
00:50:48And keep your mouth shut.
00:50:52If you don't, I won't let you live it down.
