Short filmTranscript
00:00:00There's a chance, but it'll cost $500,000.
00:00:03She's a low-life worker. She doesn't deserve to be a mom.
00:00:07Fifteen years ago, my mother, Mary Miller, disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:00:11Hey, you old hag. Is anyone there? Speak up.
00:00:13Get your filthy hands off of her. Half a million, and she's all yours tonight.
00:00:19My mother is missing?
00:00:21Flip this city upside down. I don't care. We're going to find my mother.
00:00:25Get away from my daughter.
00:00:27It can't be her.
00:00:30Welcome back, boss.
00:00:33That's impossible.
00:00:34She's a fraud.
00:00:36You make me sick.
00:00:37You won't live to see another day.
00:00:40I'm so sorry it took so long, mother.
00:00:41She's the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:00:44You'll all be on your knees, begging for mercy.
00:00:57Doctor, is my mom going to be okay?
00:01:08I'm sorry, Grace.
00:01:09She has a brain hemorrhage.
00:01:11With immediate surgery, there is a chance, but
00:01:14it'll cost $500,000.
00:01:19$500,000?
00:01:20I don't have that kind of money, but Mom needs me.
00:01:24I'll find a way to get the money.
00:01:25Please, just save my mom.
00:01:27I can do that.
00:01:30Grace Miller!
00:01:32Rose, well, thank God you two are here.
00:01:34Mom was working at the orphanage when she fainted, and
00:01:36it's going to cost $500,000.
00:01:38$500,000?
00:01:40And where are we supposed to get that?
00:01:43Call up the surgery, doc.
00:01:44There's no way we're paying for that.
00:01:46Rose, what are you saying?
00:01:47She's our mom.
00:01:49She adopted us.
00:01:50You can't just enforce us to grow up dirt poor.
00:01:52She's a low-life worker.
00:01:53She doesn't deserve to be a mom.
00:01:54If it wasn't for her, we could have been adopted by someone rich.
00:01:58You guys hear yourself.
00:02:00She took us in when we had nothing.
00:02:02She gave us a home.
00:02:03She made sure that we were never hungry.
00:02:05And you're just mad at her because she's not rich?
00:02:07Speaking of money, today's mom's paid it.
00:02:12This is mom's.
00:02:13Don't you dare touch it.
00:02:15No.
00:02:17No.
00:02:17No.
00:02:18No.
00:02:18No.
00:02:18No.
00:02:22Mom worked hard for that.
00:02:33Should be enough for a new iPhone, though.
00:02:35Mom needs that money for her surgery.
00:02:36You can't just take it.
00:02:37Sure we can.
00:02:38That old hag's about to die.
00:02:39Her money is ours now.
00:02:41You want money?
00:02:43Pick it up.
00:02:52Consider this our donation to mom's surgery.
00:02:58Or funeral.
00:03:10I'll save you, mom.
00:03:16I can sell blood for money.
00:03:18This is the only way I might be able to save mom.
00:03:34Huh?
00:03:48I'm going to take a seat, guys.
00:03:56Look, I've gathered you all here today for a very important announcement.
00:03:59Fifteen years ago, my mother, Mary Miller, disappeared to live a quiet life in a small town.
00:04:03But now, she is returning to take her rightful place as the CEO of the Phoenix Group, ladies
00:04:09and gentlemen.
00:04:09The CEO has finally returned.
00:04:11Ms. Miller raised her son alone to build Phoenix Group.
00:04:14And after fifteen years, she's coming back.
00:04:17Even out of the public eye, she remains a legend.
00:04:20No one can match what she built.
00:04:21See, although my mother's been living in seclusion, we've remained in contact over the years.
00:04:26And she's adopted three children, who I believe will be joining our company very soon.
00:04:31Sir, we can't find your mother.
00:04:33She isn't answering our calls.
00:04:35What?
00:04:35My mother is missing?
00:04:39I want to sell my blood.
00:04:41Please.
00:04:41I have an extremely rare blood type.
00:04:44Type AB negative.
00:04:46You need it, and I need money for my mother's surgery.
00:04:49Please.
00:04:53We are at 400.
00:05:10I have to stop now, or you'll pass out.
00:05:11No, no.
00:05:12Don't stop.
00:05:12I can do it.
00:05:16I just keep...
00:05:17Miss...
00:05:18I keep going.
00:05:20Miss?
00:05:21Miss?
00:05:22Miss?
00:05:22Miss?
00:05:37Grace, I told you to go home and rest.
00:05:40You just fainted from donating all that blood.
00:05:43I'm fine, doctor.
00:05:44How's my mom?
00:05:45Well, the operation was a success, but...
00:05:48Grace, with your mother's condition, we're looking at some very expensive long-term care.
00:05:53Oh, I got it, doctor.
00:05:55She's my mom.
00:05:56I won't give up on her.
00:05:58She's very lucky to have you.
00:06:00I'll go work on the list of her medication.
00:06:07You adopted me, mom.
00:06:09You taught me what family was, love is.
00:06:14Don't worry.
00:06:15I'm not going to give up on you.
00:06:17I'm going to make sure you get better.
00:06:18I'm going to make sure you get better.
00:06:22It's been hours.
00:06:28Where is Miss Miller?
00:06:29If Miss Miller says she's returning, then she will be coming back.
00:06:32Otherwise, Mr. Miller will find her.
00:06:35When she left 15 years ago, she made all of us, even Mr. Miller, promise never to search
00:06:40for her.
00:06:42Did you reach her?
00:06:43Her phone?
00:06:44It's completely dead.
00:06:45She'd never let that happen.
00:06:46Not on the day that she's supposed to return.
00:06:48Mr. Miller, something's not right.
00:06:52Do whatever it takes.
00:06:54Flip this city upside down.
00:06:55I don't care, but we're going to find my mother.
00:06:57Yes, sir.
00:06:58Yes, sir.
00:07:05One day at work here will cover three days of mom's medication.
00:07:14Next.
00:07:15No, sir, I'm here to work.
00:07:18Please, if there's any opportunity that you have, I would gladly take it.
00:07:21Come on, Grace.
00:07:22Everyone knows you passed out yesterday at the hospital.
00:07:24I can't have you dying on my sight.
00:07:26I'll lose my damn job.
00:07:27No, please, please.
00:07:28I'm begging you.
00:07:29Please, I really need the money.
00:07:31My mom will die without it.
00:07:32But with treatment, I mean, there's a chance that she may wake up.
00:07:37But if I give up, it's over for her.
00:07:39Please.
00:07:39If I catch you slacking off one time, I won't pay you a single penny.
00:07:48Thank you so much.
00:07:49You can trust me.
00:07:49I am a hard worker.
00:07:52Next.
00:07:55Don't worry, Mom.
00:07:56I'll make enough money and you'll get better.
00:08:09All right, time for lunch.
00:08:17You can get back to work as soon as you're finished.
00:08:21Grace.
00:08:23Lucy.
00:08:24What's wrong?
00:08:24You have to get help right now, Grace.
00:08:26Your sister and brother are selling your mom's house.
00:08:28We've turned this whole house upside down.
00:08:38I can't believe the old hag doesn't even have any savings.
00:08:40Whatever.
00:08:40Just forget it.
00:08:41Let's get down to business.
00:08:42We're sitting here at his letter.
00:08:44You see this, Mom?
00:08:46You ruined our life at a better chance with a rich family.
00:08:49Now, with just one little stamp here, you'll give us what we deserve.
00:08:53As if this old hag can hear you.
00:08:54Just get it over with already.
00:08:58What are you doing?
00:09:03Mom.
00:09:04Mom, are you okay?
00:09:09You're trying to steal Mom's house?
00:09:11You can't do that.
00:09:12Mom works hard for it.
00:09:13Fine.
00:09:14If she doesn't want us to sell it, then we won't.
00:09:17Go on.
00:09:18Say it.
00:09:19Say it.
00:09:20Hey, you old hag.
00:09:21Is anyone there?
00:09:22Hello?
00:09:22Can you speak up?
00:09:23Speak up!
00:09:24Get your filthy hands off of her.
00:09:27Be honest.
00:09:28You don't actually give a shit about Mom.
00:09:30You're just putting on a little show, hoping she'll magically wake up and give you everything.
00:09:34That's not true.
00:09:35That's...
00:09:35Oh, poor little Grace, trying so hard, and your mommy can't even see.
00:09:40If you don't want to take care of Mom, that's fine.
00:09:43I'll do it myself.
00:09:44But I'm not going to let you take anything away from her.
00:09:46Try and stop us.
00:09:48No.
00:09:48No.
00:09:49No.
00:09:49Mom?
00:09:56Mom?
00:09:56Your finger's moving.
00:10:00Would you look at that?
00:10:01She's actually losing it.
00:10:04I saw it.
00:10:05Her finger's moving.
00:10:06She's trying to tell us something.
00:10:07Mom's brain is mush.
00:10:09The only thing moving in her head are the worms eating the rest of it out.
00:10:13You stupid bitch.
00:10:28I'm tired of repeating myself.
00:10:30Mom is dying.
00:10:31Dead people don't need a house.
00:10:32You know, William and I just want the best for you, little sis.
00:10:38Say, you and the mayor's son are the same age, right?
00:10:41Mayor's daughter-in-law sounds awfully nice.
00:10:45What?
00:10:46The mayor's daughter-in-law?
00:10:49After you and the mayor's son tie the knot, we'll send...
00:10:52That to a nursing home far, far away.
00:10:58She takes up too much space here.
00:11:00So there's the brat for my son.
00:11:02Well, son, she's the girl you said you liked, right?
00:11:13A real virgin.
00:11:14Just like me.
00:11:15All the other girls, they always run away.
00:11:18But not you.
00:11:20You'll be my first.
00:11:22Time to make you mine.
00:11:23No, no, don't touch me!
00:11:32No, no, don't touch me!
00:11:36You can't say no to me!
00:11:38My dad owns this town.
00:11:39Nobody says no to me.
00:11:41Look at you, acting so high and mighty.
00:11:43You're still selling your blood, aren't you?
00:11:45Just for a few pennies.
00:11:47We offer you a way out of poverty, and this is the way you repay us.
00:11:52Do you know how rich and powerful the mayor is?
00:11:55Mom's gonna die, because you're too proud to spread your legs for the mayor's son.
00:11:59I'm not going to marry him.
00:12:01Ah, don't you see, Grace?
00:12:03William and I are doing this for you and Mom.
00:12:06You should be grateful.
00:12:07Half a million, and she's all yours tonight.
00:12:10Steep price for an orphan.
00:12:11I don't care, Dad!
00:12:12You promised me I can have her, and I want her.
00:12:14Give them what they want.
00:12:17If you're not a grandson or not, she can work for us as the man.
00:12:20Oh!
00:12:25Glad you're doing business with you, sir.
00:12:27My sister's all yours.
00:12:31No, no, no, Mom!
00:12:33Mom, please!
00:12:34Don't let them take me, Mom!
00:12:44No one tells my daughter.
00:13:03Get away from my daughter!
00:13:10Oh, Mom!
00:13:11He's gone!
00:13:12You're awake!
00:13:13Don't scare us like that again, okay?
00:13:15I didn't know what to do!
00:13:17Yeah, Mom.
00:13:18We're so happy to have you back.
00:13:20It looks like you know exactly what you're doing.
00:13:26Selling the house.
00:13:28No, Mom, you have the wrong idea.
00:13:30We were selling the house to help pay for your treatment.
00:13:33Treatment?
00:13:34You didn't even want to pay for Mom's surgery.
00:13:36Don't listen to Grace's lies, Mom.
00:13:38William and I have been working day and night to pay for your surgery.
00:13:41No, that's not true.
00:13:43I was selling my blood to pay back...
00:13:45Grace, I know you seduced the mayor's son and are about to marry into a powerful family,
00:13:49but that doesn't mean you can lie to Mom's face.
00:13:51Grace was trying to marry into the mayor's family so she didn't have to take care of you.
00:13:55Rose and I had no choice but to sell the house.
00:13:56Enough!
00:13:56Just because I had my eyes closed doesn't mean that I didn't hear everything you said.
00:14:04And not only were you trying to just sell the house, but you were trying to sell your sister, Grace, as well!
00:14:11Mom, I'm so glad you're awake.
00:14:14I didn't know what else to do.
00:14:15Oh, my sweet daughter, I heard everything, everything you did to keep me safe.
00:14:23Your mother will make these ingrits pay for what they did to you.
00:14:27This...
00:14:29This is just a silly house, and I would have given it to you without a second thought.
00:14:37But now, after the stunt that you two pulled, you won't get anything.
00:14:50Well, William and I would have considered looking after you if you were even moderately, but you're just poor.
00:14:57Do you know how goddamn embarrassing it is to call your mother?
00:15:03Embarrassing?
00:15:04When we were orphans, nobody wanted us.
00:15:06Mom gave us a home.
00:15:08She saved us.
00:15:09Saved us?
00:15:11I didn't choose the shitty life she offered us.
00:15:15Poor people shouldn't drag others into their suffering.
00:15:18That's not fair.
00:15:19Take it back.
00:15:22You see this, you old hag?
00:15:24We already have your signature and fingerprint on the inheritance letter.
00:15:28It's too late to stop us now.
00:15:30You're not getting anything from me.
00:15:33Not a single...
00:15:34print.
00:15:36Grace, do you have my phone?
00:15:40Oh, Grace, this is your mom's phone.
00:15:42You can keep it for now.
00:15:44Doctor, this phone is really nice.
00:15:46Are you sure it belongs to my mom?
00:15:47We took it from her pocket right before the surgery.
00:15:49Miss Miller.
00:16:05Alexander.
00:16:05It's me.
00:16:12My mother was in danger.
00:16:13Thanks to her adopted daughter, Grace.
00:16:15She's safe in the small town.
00:16:16I'm heading over there to bring her back home.
00:16:18Someone who dares to threaten Miss Miller must be insane.
00:16:21Let us come with you, sir.
00:16:22We should all be there to welcome her back.
00:16:24And we'll show those who cross her who's boss.
00:16:29Sir, I've sent John Smith to check on your mother.
00:16:32Make sure he keeps her safe until I get there.
00:16:34These people are going to regret him for crossing her.
00:16:35Yes, sir.
00:16:36Come and love her.
00:16:38Wait, she has another son?
00:16:39No idea who the guy is.
00:16:41Wonder where she found this guy.
00:16:42Probably fished him out of a dumpster.
00:16:44Bet he's just as pathetic as she is.
00:16:46Another worthless charity case.
00:16:48Stop it.
00:16:49That's your brother you're talking about.
00:16:52Relax, Grace.
00:16:54Soon they'll be on their knees, begging for forgiveness.
00:16:57Who do you think you are, you old hag?
00:16:59Some kind of superhero?
00:17:00The mayor is related to Mr. Smith.
00:17:03The man who transformed the Sterling Corp into the Phoenix Group's biggest subsidiary.
00:17:08He can make any person disappear.
00:17:10And guess what?
00:17:11They just called them about Gregory's wedding.
00:17:13He should be here at any moment.
00:17:15Mr. Smith?
00:17:16You mean John?
00:17:18Speaking as if she knows him personally.
00:17:20The man controls billions.
00:17:22The nerve on this woman.
00:17:23Let me explain something to you.
00:17:25Phoenix Group isn't just some company.
00:17:28They own everything.
00:17:30They're untouchable gods among men.
00:17:34She probably thinks Phoenix Group is just some birdwatching club.
00:17:38Mark my words.
00:17:40You'll all be on your knees, begging for mercy.
00:17:43And when John Smith gets here, he's going to be trembling in his boots.
00:17:52Hmm.
00:17:53Hmm.
00:17:55Mr. Smith has important business to attend to.
00:18:01Starting now, all roads headed to the town are closed off.
00:18:04I heard Mr. Smith has barely been seen in public ever since Ms. Miller went into hiding.
00:18:08Wow.
00:18:09If Mr. Smith is going out like this, he must be doing business with a really important person.
00:18:13I never thought I'd ever meet Ms. Miller in person.
00:18:16This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
00:18:19She's the pride of the city.
00:18:20But, sir, we don't even have a photo of her.
00:18:22We don't know what she looks like.
00:18:23I have other matters to attend to in that town anyway.
00:18:26Let's move out.
00:18:27We'll grab the photo later.
00:18:31Wait.
00:18:31You think Mr. Smith will kneel before someone like you?
00:18:35Oh, don't make me laugh.
00:18:38Oh, she's completely delusional.
00:18:41Enough.
00:18:42I won't stand here and let you insult my mother like this.
00:18:45Ah!
00:18:45Know your place and shut up, you stupid bitch.
00:18:56Lay a hand on my daughter one more time, and I'll make sure you don't use that hand again.
00:19:01What's wrong?
00:19:02Our money not good enough for you?
00:19:05Fine.
00:19:06Name your price.
00:19:07Everything has one.
00:19:08Just like you.
00:19:12Oh, how amusing.
00:19:14You think that you can buy me off.
00:19:17I would love to see you try.
00:19:20Hmm.
00:19:23Word is Miss Miller has an adopted daughter, Grace, that's been taking care of her.
00:19:27Without her, we might not see Miss Miller again.
00:19:29Miss Grace Miller must be someone special.
00:19:31There aren't a lot of daughters like her out there.
00:19:33It's me.
00:19:36Make sure to arrange an exceptional gift for Miss Miller.
00:19:39And prepare something special for Grace Miller.
00:19:41Only the best for the girl that saved Miss Miller.
00:19:45Sir, John Smith should be arriving to town any moment now.
00:19:48The signal there is terrible.
00:19:50I just sent him a photo of Miss Miller.
00:19:52He should be receiving it shortly.
00:19:53Look, my mother likes to keep low profile.
00:19:55So I want you to tell her people to shut down the entire neighborhood, okay?
00:19:58I don't want anyone seeing my mother.
00:20:00Yes, sir.
00:20:01You think that you can buy me?
00:20:03Oh, just look at you.
00:20:05Wearing those rags, living in this filthy place.
00:20:08And you have the nerve to reject my son.
00:20:11People like you should be on your knees, kissing our feet.
00:20:15Thanking us for the chance at a better life.
00:20:19Your son is a worthless parasite that vultures would refuse to eat.
00:20:27How dare you speak that way about my son?
00:20:30I was abandoned as a child.
00:20:45When I was 15 years old, my mom took me in and gave me a home.
00:20:49You may just see her as another nobody.
00:20:52Working lowly jobs with little money.
00:20:55But to me, she's the greatest mom in the world.
00:20:59She's my everything.
00:21:00And I'm not just going to stand here and let you humiliate her.
00:21:03Boo-hoo.
00:21:04I'm in tears.
00:21:05Who cares if we insult this old hag?
00:21:07My husband is the mayor.
00:21:10And we can do anything we want, as a matter of fact.
00:21:13My son can take you right here.
00:21:15And right now, if he wants.
00:21:16Time to teach my wife some manners.
00:21:21No, no, don't.
00:21:22Stay back, please.
00:21:23You will all write this.
00:21:26No, don't.
00:21:27Stay back, please.
00:21:28No, don't.
00:21:30Holy shit.
00:21:36Is that John Smith?
00:21:37The mayor's got some family problems from what I hear.
00:21:40And he's probably just here to help him out.
00:21:43Oh, no, no.
00:21:46What the hell?
00:21:47No, no, no.
00:21:48Go where?
00:21:49I could assure you the consequences for spreading unverified rumors in front of Mr. Smith are serious.
00:21:57Mr. Smith, please let us go.
00:21:58Please, sir, let us go.
00:21:59We had nothing to do with this.
00:22:00You should be talking to that family over there who rejected the mayor's son.
00:22:06You're lying.
00:22:07Who dare reject Gregory Warren?
00:22:09Don't they know he's related to Mr. Smith?
00:22:10We're not lying, sir.
00:22:12You can see for yourself.
00:22:13Their house is at the end of this road.
00:22:15All right.
00:22:16Looks like I'll take care of this myself.
00:22:19Don't let go of me.
00:22:20Let go.
00:22:21No.
00:22:23No.
00:22:27Hit her again, mother.
00:22:29We offer you everything, and you choose to stay in this filth?
00:22:32Fine.
00:22:33Stay here and rot.
00:22:35My mother's love means everything to me.
00:22:37I'd rather stay in poverty by her side than live in a cage without her.
00:22:42Too bad that's not your decision to make.
00:22:47Too bad that's not your decision to make.
00:22:50Mr. Smith?
00:22:51He actually came.
00:22:51Only the famous John Smith could arrive in such style.
00:22:55Mr. Smith, thank you for coming.
00:22:57What's going on here?
00:22:58You're related to someone like me.
00:22:59Finding your son a wife should be the easiest thing in the world.
00:23:02It's these arrogant fools, sir.
00:23:04They have no idea the privilege they're throwing away.
00:23:07And Mr. Smith, they even have the audacity to threaten you.
00:23:10Said you would tremble before.
00:23:12What?
00:23:13Someone dare threaten the John Smith, the head of Phoenix Group's most powerful subsidiary?
00:23:19The man that no one crosses.
00:23:22Yes, it's that woman right over there.
00:23:29Hello, John.
00:23:32Why does her voice sound so familiar?
00:23:35Just now, Phoenix Group CEO Mary Miller, one of the most powerful figures in our city,
00:23:41has relinquished full control of the company to her son.
00:23:45Mary, do you have anything to say?
00:23:47Anything to say at all, Mary, about the transition of power?
00:23:50Ms. Miller!
00:23:51Ms. Miller!
00:23:53Ms. Miller, I owe everything to you.
00:23:56You started Sterling Corps and gave me my position.
00:23:59If you're really planning on leaving Phoenix Group, please, at least, let me drive you home.
00:24:05If you really want to show your gratitude, take good care of Sterling Group.
00:24:09I'm counting on you.
00:24:11How dare you use Mr. Smith's first name?
00:24:17Keep our boss's name out of your mouth or else I'll-
00:24:19Wait!
00:24:24You keep our boss's name out of your mouth or else I'll-
00:24:26Wait!
00:24:28You.
00:24:29You know who I am.
00:24:30Mr. Smith, listen to this filth!
00:24:33Trying to pretend she knows you!
00:24:34Yes, I do know you, John.
00:24:37How dare you address Mr. Smith like that?
00:24:40Trash like you should show respect!
00:24:43Mr. Smith, this is just some old woman who works as a cheap laborer at the orphanage nearby.
00:24:48A day laborer?
00:24:50I must have mistaken her for someone else.
00:24:51What happened to all your threats?
00:24:53Weren't you just saying how Mr. Smith would tremble and fall to his knees?
00:24:57You said that?
00:24:58I did.
00:24:59Who do you think you are, huh?
00:25:01Don't touch my mom!
00:25:03Oh, you want to be brave too?
00:25:05Huh?
00:25:08Mr. Smith, it's a message for Mr. Miller.
00:25:10It's a photo of Mrs. Miller.
00:25:16It's a photo of Mrs. Miller.
00:25:18You mean Mrs. Miller?
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:20She's Phoenix Group's CEO.
00:25:22They say she controls all the city.
00:25:24But she disappeared years ago, when she gave control to her son when he turned 18.
00:25:28We could have been living the high life if she had adopted us instead of being stuck with this worthless woman.
00:25:34Mr. Smith, you see, everything's ready for the wedding.
00:25:37If you could just help us convince the bride.
00:25:39Mrs. Miller is here in town somewhere.
00:25:41I have to find and greet her.
00:25:43I can't let this petty situation get in the way.
00:25:45Take her to the church.
00:25:46No, let me go.
00:25:48I won't marry him.
00:25:49I need to stay with my mom.
00:25:50Try to get past me.
00:25:52See how that works.
00:25:57Try to get past me.
00:25:59See how that works out for you.
00:26:00Move aside, ma'am.
00:26:01Mr. Smith is due to welcome back the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:26:05If you and your daughter get in the way, you'll pay the price.
00:26:10So, this is how you run Sterling Group now.
00:26:14Torment the weak.
00:26:16Throw your weight around?
00:26:17Shut your damn mouth.
00:26:19Stripper.
00:26:21Let her mother watch what happens to people who defy me.
00:26:26You are making your last mistake.
00:26:28You think I'm scared of some empty threats from an old hag in a wheelchair?
00:26:32What are you going to do about it?
00:26:34No, no, no, no.
00:26:37How could I be so foolish?
00:26:59How could I be so foolish?
00:27:03Miss Miller, the CEO of Phoenix Group, is right in front of my eyes.
00:27:08Mr. Smith is about to teach this old woman a lesson that she should never open her mouth.
00:27:13Just watch.
00:27:14Well, that'll teach you to disrespect someone like Mr. Smith.
00:27:17Crawl on the ground and beg for forgiveness, you pathetic old hag.
00:27:20That's right. Go on and grovel before he destroys you.
00:27:24I have no need to apologize.
00:27:26I meant every word that I said.
00:27:29I said that when John Smith gets here, he will tremble and fall to his knees, and that is exactly what will happen.
00:27:37What planet are you even living on?
00:27:40You're not just a beggar. You're a complete lunatic.
00:27:59Sir, what's the matter?
00:28:14On your knees.
00:28:15But, sir, she's just something...
00:28:16I said on your knees!
00:28:23Are you all deaf?
00:28:25Get on your knees!
00:28:27Mr. Smith, what's this all about?
00:28:29Are you not feeling well?
00:28:31What did this brain-dead bitch do to him?
00:28:33Get away before whatever's rotting in her head spreads!
00:28:36Mr. Smith, what are you doing?
00:28:41I'm warning you.
00:28:42Do not disrespect this woman.
00:28:45She is.
00:28:47She is.
00:28:47She is nothing but a pathetic waste of space.
00:28:50She can't even stand on her own two feet.
00:28:53Her brain is riding away, and she doesn't have a penny to her name.
00:28:56Are you seriously going to defend this old witch?
00:29:02Looks like you remember me now, John.
00:29:05Why don't you tell everyone else who I am?
00:29:07Go ahead.
00:29:10Address him as Mr. Smith, you disrespectful old hag!
00:29:15Mr. Smith, we never wanted her as her mother.
00:29:19We've already cut ties with this woman.
00:29:20We don't support her behavior at all.
00:29:22Please, don't punish us for her actions!
00:29:26I understand you're upset, Mr. Smith.
00:29:28Let me remove this worthless woman.
00:29:30Ah!
00:29:32Ah!
00:29:34Please!
00:29:35All of you!
00:29:38Mr. Smith, why are you protecting her?
00:29:40She's beneath you!
00:29:41Mr. Smith, please!
00:29:43We're family!
00:29:44Family?
00:29:45You're just distant relatives.
00:29:47The only reason I maintain contact with you
00:29:50is because someone told me to never forget where I came from,
00:29:52and that someone was her.
00:29:54She helped me build Stirling Core for nothing.
00:30:04John, return my daughter to me,
00:30:06and we'll discuss your actions later.
00:30:09Yes, Miss Miller.
00:30:13Yeah!
00:30:14Mom!
00:30:21No one will ever hurt you again, okay?
00:30:26Who the hell are you?
00:30:34On behalf of Stirling Core,
00:30:36I formally welcome you back to Phoenix Group.
00:30:39Welcome back, boss.
00:30:42She's the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:30:49Phoenix Group CEO.
00:30:51Huh.
00:30:52That's impossible.
00:30:53There must be some mistake.
00:30:54This old hag doesn't even have money.
00:30:56Just look at her.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:30:57The richest CEO in the country
00:30:59wearing bargain bin clothes,
00:31:01working at an orphanage,
00:31:02and living in this dump, please.
00:31:04Do you even hear yourself?
00:31:06If it wasn't for Miss Miller living a modest life,
00:31:08you'd still be orphans,
00:31:09you ungrateful brats.
00:31:13And you,
00:31:14you must be the adoptive daughter
00:31:15who saved Miss Miller.
00:31:17Don't be afraid.
00:31:19You're Miss Miller's daughter,
00:31:20and the only one who protected her.
00:31:21And now,
00:31:22Stirling Core will protect you.
00:31:23If anyone tries to harm you,
00:31:26they'll pay the price.
00:31:27I just want to stay with my mom
00:31:28and take care of her.
00:31:30Please.
00:31:32Don't let them force me
00:31:33to marry this man.
00:31:36My sweet girl.
00:31:39There's no way.
00:31:40My parents paid good money for you,
00:31:42so you belong to me now.
00:31:43Your mother can run
00:31:44into nursing home for all I care.
00:31:46Nobody touches my daughter.
00:31:47John, break his wrist.
00:31:48John, break his wrist.
00:31:57Mr. Smith, please don't do this.
00:31:59Please, he's our only son.
00:32:00Please, he's only God.
00:32:02You love your son
00:32:03like I love my daughter,
00:32:05and yet you let him terrorize Grace,
00:32:07and you didn't say anything.
00:32:09And now you want to apologize?
00:32:12It's too late.
00:32:13But your daughter is fine.
00:32:15Do you really have to do this?
00:32:17If I let this go today,
00:32:18then you'll keep terrorizing
00:32:20those weaker than you,
00:32:21like my daughter.
00:32:22So today there will be a lesson
00:32:23for not only your son,
00:32:25but for everyone else.
00:32:26Mark my words.
00:32:29Who do you think you are
00:32:30barking at my parents and brother?
00:32:32Moreover, I'll end you all.
00:32:37Brittany, my sweet daughter.
00:32:39Thank God you're here.
00:32:40Don't worry, Dad.
00:32:41I've got this under control.
00:32:43Did you forget?
00:32:44My boyfriend is
00:32:46Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:32:49So what, young lady?
00:32:51And this is Alexander's mother,
00:32:52Miss Miller,
00:32:53CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:32:55She is not the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:32:58She's a fraud.
00:33:02What are you talking about?
00:33:03Just because you're dating
00:33:04Alexander's lap dog
00:33:05doesn't mean you can run your mouth
00:33:06and spread lies.
00:33:07Lies?
00:33:08I've seen the Phoenix Group CEO
00:33:10with my own two eyes.
00:33:12She got me a present for my birthday.
00:33:13Sean, what's wrong?
00:33:22Today's my girlfriend's birthday
00:33:23and she wants me to invite
00:33:25Miss Mary Miller to her party.
00:33:28What?
00:33:29She's so secluded
00:33:30even her own son can't see her
00:33:31whenever he wants.
00:33:33How do you expect her
00:33:34to agree to meet your girlfriend?
00:33:37Wait.
00:33:38What if you pretend to be her?
00:33:41Nobody even knows
00:33:42what she looks like
00:33:43outside of the board anyway.
00:33:44Pretend to be CEO
00:33:46for my girlfriend's birthday party
00:33:47and I'll get working on that promotion
00:33:49that you've been wanting for years.
00:33:53Oh yeah?
00:33:56Fine.
00:33:57I'll do it.
00:33:59Young lady,
00:34:00I don't know who your family is,
00:34:03but you better believe
00:34:04that I could destroy them
00:34:05with one phone call.
00:34:07Everyone here sees
00:34:08that you're just
00:34:09broke and delusional.
00:34:11Cut the act,
00:34:12you widowed hag!
00:34:15Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:34:17I'm going to have my boyfriend
00:34:18expose you
00:34:19for the fraud you really are.
00:34:21Brittany.

00:34:40our success.
00:34:42Also, I want you to get
00:34:42some for that girl.

00:35:00I'll make them beg for mercy
00:35:01for what they've done.
00:35:02Take her right here.
00:35:04Gotta handle something for Sean.
00:35:05Yes, sir.
00:35:10Hear that?
00:35:11My daughter's boyfriend
00:35:12is Alexander Miller's assistant.
00:35:14He's one of Phoenix group's
00:35:15rising stars.
00:35:16You picked the wrong people
00:35:17to mess with.
00:35:18You're done for.
00:35:19Thank God we cut ties
00:35:21with you, you crazy old witch.
00:35:22You almost gave me
00:35:23a heart attack,
00:35:24you old hag.
00:35:25Turns out you were
00:35:26a fraud all along.
00:35:27You.
00:35:29Who would have thought
00:35:30our daughter would end up
00:35:32dating Alexander's
00:35:33right-hand man?
00:35:34When her boyfriend
00:35:35gets here,
00:35:35we're going to strip you
00:35:37and your daughter naked
00:35:38and throw you
00:35:38into the street.
00:35:39Let everyone see
00:35:40how we treat liars
00:35:41like you.
00:35:42I'm afraid you're in
00:35:43for quite a disappointment.
00:35:46Still acting tough?
00:35:47You really are shameless.
00:35:49Mama.
00:35:50John, handle this right now.
00:35:52She's scaring my daughter.
00:35:54Yes, Miss Miller.
00:36:02Oh, I'm sorry.
00:36:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:36:05Oh, shit.
00:36:06Back off, John!
00:36:07You're just some
00:36:08low-level manager.
00:36:09My boyfriend
00:36:10will destroy your career
00:36:11if you touch me!
00:36:12Did you just hit me?
00:36:17Not bad for an old hag.
00:36:19I get it now, John.
00:36:21You're siding with this hag
00:36:22because she crawled
00:36:23into your bed.
00:36:24You disgusting little...
00:36:25Oh, did I hurt her nerve?
00:36:28Just wait until
00:36:29my boyfriend gets here.
00:36:30I'm going to tell him
00:36:31that you hit me
00:36:32for this old slut.
00:36:33You're dead!
00:36:34You really think
00:36:36your boyfriend
00:36:37is that important
00:36:38to me?
00:36:40He's nothing.
00:36:42Like, he doesn't even deserve
00:36:43to clean the dirt
00:36:44off my shoes.
00:36:46Nobody
00:36:46insults Mr. Sean Parker
00:36:48and lives to talk about it!
00:36:50Mike?
00:36:51Why are you alone?
00:36:52Where's Sean?
00:36:53Relax, Miss.
00:36:54Sean and Miss Miller
00:36:55have more important matters
00:36:56than dealing with trash.
00:36:58So, who's been causing trouble
00:36:59for my boss's girlfriend?
00:37:01It was this piece
00:37:02of garbage right here.
00:37:03She said that
00:37:04Mr. Sean Parker
00:37:05didn't deserve to
00:37:06clean the dirt
00:37:07off her shoes.
00:37:08And she's pretending
00:37:09to be the CEO
00:37:10of Phoenix Group,
00:37:11Miss Miller!
00:37:13Miss Miller?
00:37:17Miss Miller,
00:37:19old hag.
00:37:20You've got some nerve
00:37:21pretending to be
00:37:22Miss Miller.
00:37:23Open your eyes.
00:37:24She is Miss Miller.
00:37:26Great!
00:37:27And I'm the Queen
00:37:27of England.
00:37:28Tell you what.
00:37:30If she's really
00:37:31the CEO,
00:37:32I'll tattoo fool
00:37:33on my forehead.
00:37:36Nice performance, John.
00:37:38Good thing I met
00:37:38the real CEO
00:37:39at Brittany's birthday party
00:37:40or I might have
00:37:41fallen for your little act.
00:37:42I don't know
00:37:43who you think you met,
00:37:44but that was not
00:37:44the CEO.
00:37:46If my mom really lied,
00:37:47it was to protect me
00:37:48from being forced
00:37:49to marry the mayor's son.
00:37:51But if she isn't
00:37:52the CEO of Phoenix Group,
00:37:54then I apologize.
00:37:56Just please.
00:37:57Don't hurt my mother.
00:37:59Well,
00:38:00what do we have here?
00:38:01Quite the pretty little thing.
00:38:03Since you're such
00:38:04a good daughter,
00:38:06I'll let this slide.
00:38:08Under one condition.
00:38:11Marry the mayor's son.
00:38:16And I'll forgive
00:38:16your mother's lies.
00:38:17Grace,
00:38:18don't listen to this, fool.
00:38:21Mom,
00:38:22I never thought
00:38:24that I would have
00:38:25a real family.
00:38:26And then you adopted me.
00:38:29You gave me everything.
00:38:31Love,
00:38:32protection,
00:38:33a light.
00:38:35I owe you everything.
00:38:38So if...
00:38:39So if marrying
00:38:41the mayor's son
00:38:42will protect you,
00:38:44then I'll do it.
00:38:47Back off
00:38:51while you still can.
00:38:52If you hurt Grace
00:38:53or cross Miss Miller,
00:38:54you'll pay the price.
00:38:55Look at you, John.
00:38:57Completely entangled
00:38:58in this fraud's spell.
00:38:59You know what's
00:39:00going to happen today, John?
00:39:01Huh?
00:39:02The real Miss Miller
00:39:03is returning
00:39:04to Phoenix Group.
00:39:05When Alexander finds out
00:39:06you're helping
00:39:08some imposter,
00:39:09you're finished.
00:39:11Miss Miller's returning
00:39:12to Phoenix Group today?
00:39:14With your boyfriend
00:39:15being Mr. Miller's assistant,
00:39:17surely you'll meet
00:39:18Miss Miller.
00:39:19Oh,
00:39:19please,
00:39:20let me come with you.
00:39:21I'd do anything
00:39:23to see Miss Miller.
00:39:25Miss Miller
00:39:25is a very private person.
00:39:27Most employees
00:39:28haven't even seen her.
00:39:30Well,
00:39:30I guess I could
00:39:31let you see her
00:39:32from a distance.
00:39:34Now then,
00:39:35time to deal
00:39:36with our
00:39:37little problem.
00:39:39Can't have these
00:39:40frauds
00:39:40causing trouble
00:39:41on such an important day.
00:39:43You fool!
00:39:46This woman
00:39:46is the real
00:39:47CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:39:49Mr. Miller
00:39:49sent me her photo.
00:39:50It's right here.
00:39:54It's right here.
00:39:58A photo?
00:39:59That can't prove anything.
00:40:00Anyone could fake
00:40:01that using AI.
00:40:02With AI these days,
00:40:03you can make
00:40:04any photo you want.
00:40:05You can't fool us.
00:40:07Look at her.
00:40:08She's just a pathetic
00:40:09nothing.
00:40:10Faking photos
00:40:11to play CEO?
00:40:12God,
00:40:13never seen anyone
00:40:14so desperate.
00:40:15What happened
00:40:15to all that talk
00:40:16about honesty
00:40:17and respect
00:40:18as we grew up,
00:40:19Mom?
00:40:19What does that not
00:40:20apply to an old hag
00:40:21like you?
00:40:22You are good looking
00:40:23for your age.
00:40:26No wonder you've got
00:40:27John wrapped
00:40:27around your finger,
00:40:29you witch.
00:40:29Shut your damn mouth!
00:40:31Stay away from her,
00:40:32you monster!
00:40:32good thing we've got
00:40:37some time on our hands
00:40:38anyway.
00:40:38And broke,
00:40:39single moms
00:40:41are my favorite
00:40:41kind of thing.
00:40:45A feisty one,
00:40:46huh?
00:40:47Just the way
00:40:47I like it.
00:40:48You sure this is
00:41:01the right location?
00:41:02The coordinates
00:41:03let us here, sir.
00:41:04The mayor will know
00:41:04where she is.
00:41:06This is perfect.
00:41:07The mayor's about to see
00:41:08his future son-in-law
00:41:09working right beside
00:41:10the great Alexander Miller.
00:41:12This couldn't be better.
00:41:13Well, then what are we
00:41:13waiting for?
00:41:14Let's go find the mayor.
00:41:16Yes, sir.
00:41:16Yes, sir.
00:41:18Oh, this is private
00:41:23property, you can't
00:41:24show-
00:41:24That is Alexander Miller
00:41:25of the Phoenix Group
00:41:26that you're speaking to.
00:41:28Where is the mayor?
00:41:29I need him to find my mother.
00:41:32Alexander Miller?
00:41:33It is an honor
00:41:34to meet you.
00:41:35We did not expect you
00:41:36to show up
00:41:37at this wedding celebration.
00:41:38Wait a second, dude.
00:41:39The wedding?
00:41:40Yes, the mayor's
00:41:41son's getting married.
00:41:42We didn't realize
00:41:43someone with your
00:41:43VIP status would be here.
00:41:46I didn't realize
00:41:47the mayor had
00:41:47such great connection.
00:41:48Right?
00:41:49Oh, that old woman
00:41:50will now regret
00:41:51not marrying her daughter
00:41:53into the mayor's family.
00:41:54Can you believe that?
00:41:55That dead, broke vegetable?
00:41:57She acts all
00:41:57high and mighty,
00:41:59but you know what?
00:42:00That girl's not even
00:42:00really her daughter.
00:42:02She's adopted.
00:42:03That woman.
00:42:05Is she a single mother
00:42:06to three orphans?
00:42:08That's her, right?
00:42:09But don't worry, sir, okay?
00:42:11The mayor has this town
00:42:12under control,
00:42:13and you know what?
00:42:14Isn't it?
00:42:14Teach that old hack?
00:42:15Oh!
00:42:16Oh!
00:42:17What did you just call her?
00:42:19That woman you just
00:42:20insulted is my mother,
00:42:22the CEO of the Phoenix Group.
00:42:25CEO of the Phoenix Group?
00:42:27That can't be.
00:42:29Pick that piece of shit up
00:42:31and have him take us
00:42:31to my mother.
00:42:32Yes, sir.
00:42:32You will regret every word
00:42:39that you said
00:42:39about the Miller family.
00:42:40Once Miss Miller comes back,
00:42:42her daughter Grace
00:42:43will be a part
00:42:43of the Phoenix family.
00:42:45If you think
00:42:46the mayor's son
00:42:47can marry some of her stature,
00:42:48you're delusional.
00:42:50I want to meet
00:42:51this mayor myself.
00:42:53The audacity
00:42:53to treat Miss Miller
00:42:54and her daughter like this?
00:42:58Oh, I need to warn the mayor.
00:43:00Just the way I like it.
00:43:05How dare you talk
00:43:06to Miss Miller like that?
00:43:08Ah!
00:43:12Joe, is she once
00:43:12a real man now, John?
00:43:14By the time I'm done with her,
00:43:15she won't be moving
00:43:16that wheelchair anymore.
00:43:17Your problem is with me.
00:43:19Sterling corporate techs are on
00:43:20and we will die
00:43:21defending our boss.
00:43:23You must be giving John
00:43:26something real special.
00:43:27Why else would he risk
00:43:28everything with Phoenix
00:43:29you to back up
00:43:30your pathetic lies?
00:43:31You won't live
00:43:32to see another day.
00:43:34Then I better make
00:43:34the most of now.
00:43:39Please, stop!
00:43:41Everyone, stop!
00:43:43What is it?
00:43:44Can't you see we're busy?
00:43:46That woman,
00:43:46you're threatening,
00:43:47she...
00:43:47she...
00:43:48That woman,
00:43:50you're threatening,
00:43:51she...
00:43:52she...
00:43:52she's nothing
00:43:53but an old widow.
00:43:55This is our town,
00:43:56we know what we're doing.
00:43:57Right,
00:43:58especially with
00:43:59Alexander's people
00:43:59on our side.
00:44:01The sky could fall
00:44:02right now
00:44:02and I'm still gonna
00:44:03have my fun with you.
00:44:04Yeah?
00:44:06Well, when it falls,
00:44:07you'll be the first
00:44:08one to crumble.
00:44:09This is Phoenix
00:44:11truth turf
00:44:11and I'm Sean Parker's
00:44:12right-hand man.
00:44:13Your precious boss
00:44:14should be on your knees
00:44:15before me.
00:44:16Just because you're
00:44:16some assistant's lap dog,
00:44:19it doesn't mean
00:44:19you're untouchable.
00:44:21Why don't you just
00:44:21make the call?
00:44:23Then we'll see how
00:44:24untouchable you really are.
00:44:26What's wrong?
00:44:27Are you getting nervous?
00:44:28Who could she possibly call?
00:44:30It's not like she has
00:44:31Alexander on speed dial.
00:44:32Let her make the call.
00:44:36I want to see
00:44:37who this pathetic widow
00:44:38runs to for help.
00:44:40Go ahead.
00:44:41Show us these powerful
00:44:42connections of yours.
00:44:44Stop!
00:44:45Don't let her make the call!
00:44:48Stop!
00:44:48Don't let her make the call!
00:44:50Shut your worthless mouth!
00:44:52You have no right
00:44:53to speak here.
00:44:55Afraid of a little phone call?
00:44:57That's Mike from Phoenix Group.
00:44:59No one in this city
00:45:00dares cross it.
00:45:02But, but,
00:45:02but she,
00:45:03but, but, but,
00:45:05can't even form a sentence?
00:45:06What, you think this
00:45:07nobody's gonna call
00:45:08the Alexander Miller?
00:45:10Not another word.
00:45:11You're wasting our time.
00:45:12I need to get ready
00:45:13to meet the real
00:45:14Miss Miller later
00:45:15when she returns
00:45:16to the company.
00:45:17Brittany's right.
00:45:18We're about to welcome back
00:45:19the great Miss Miller.
00:45:20Nothing's changing that.
00:45:22Don't say I didn't
00:45:23give you a chance.
00:45:24Make your call, you fraud.
00:45:32Who's this?

00:46:56for a second there.
00:46:57I thought your friend
00:46:58was someone important.
00:46:59Turns out,
00:47:00he's just a coward.
00:47:01Couldn't even speak
00:47:02when he heard my voice.
00:47:03Couldn't say a word.
00:47:05Pathetic.

00:47:16how you managed
00:47:16to tell that friend
00:47:17of yours my name,
00:47:18but, uh,
00:47:19who cares?
00:47:21He's a spineless coward
00:47:22who can't even talk
00:47:23to me,
00:47:24let alone touch me.
00:47:25Stay away from her!
00:47:27What?
00:47:27Uh-huh.
00:47:31That's right!
00:47:42Teach your lessons!
00:47:54They'll be slut!

00:48:13The mayor's family
00:48:14is finished.
00:48:15Zhang.
00:48:24Should have been
00:48:25a kill shot.
00:48:28You just burnt
00:48:29your last bridge.
00:48:30You will regret this.
00:48:32I'm just punishing
00:48:33a couple troublemakers.
00:48:35Is that a crime?
00:48:38No.
00:48:39It's just you and me.
00:48:40Don't worry.
00:48:41I can treat you
00:48:42better than John

00:49:14I'll protect you.
00:49:15Mom.
00:49:22It's your fault
00:49:22that we're in this mess.
00:49:24Just marry my brother
00:49:25like a good little girl
00:49:26and we'll let
00:49:27your mother go.
00:49:28Yeah,
00:49:29we offered you
00:49:30a better life
00:49:30and this is
00:49:31how you repay us.
00:49:33Some people
00:49:33just need their gratitude
00:49:34beaten into them.
00:49:36Please,
00:49:37I'm begging you.
00:49:38Don't hurt my mom.
00:49:39Let her go
00:49:40and I'll marry Gregory,
00:49:41I swear.
00:49:43Well,
00:49:43that's better.
00:49:43Ew.
00:49:46Ugh.
00:49:54You've had your fun.
00:49:56Wrap it up.
00:49:58Such a shame.
00:49:59I was just getting started.
00:50:01When I'm done with you,
00:50:02you're going to regret
00:50:03you were ever born.
00:50:04still making threats?
00:50:06An old hag like you
00:50:08should be grateful
00:50:08I even want to touch you.
00:50:09If Brittany
00:50:10hadn't interrupted,
00:50:13we'd be having
00:50:15some real fun right now.
00:50:17Having fun with who?
00:50:18I'm sorry.
00:50:34Who is he?
00:50:35That's some entrance.
00:50:36Look at those clothes.
00:50:37Must be connected
00:50:38to the mayor.
00:50:41Oh, my sorry, don't.
00:50:51Mom.
00:50:53Is,
00:50:53is that really
00:50:54Miss Miller?
00:50:56We're at quite
00:50:57the entourage, baby.
00:50:58All this backup,
00:50:59just your little old me?
00:51:01Brittany,
00:51:01you don't understand.
00:51:02This is, um,
00:51:03Alexander Miller.
00:51:05I didn't think
00:51:05you'd come here yourself.
00:51:07Alexander who?
00:51:08Alexander Miller?
00:51:10That's Alexander Miller?
00:51:12Miss Miller's son?
00:51:17Shit.
00:51:18That's Alexander Miller?
00:51:20He's even dreamier
00:51:21in person.
00:51:23Sir,
00:51:23that woman
00:51:24is delusional.
00:51:25She claims
00:51:26she's your mother,
00:51:27the CEO of Phoenix Group.
00:51:28Sir,
00:51:29it's my son's wedding today.
00:51:31We would be honored
00:51:32if you could attend
00:51:33the reception
00:51:33after you meet
00:51:35with the real Miss Miller.
00:51:37It's an honor
00:51:37to meet you, sir.
00:51:38I'm Sean's girlfriend,
00:51:40the mayor's daughter.
00:51:41You can call me Brittany.
00:51:42If you need anything
00:51:44in this town,
00:51:44my family is at your service.
00:51:47Ah!
00:51:48Brittany,
00:51:49shut up.
00:51:50What?
00:51:51It's not every day
00:51:51you meet
00:51:52the Alexander Miller.
00:51:54Also,
00:51:54think about it.
00:51:55If Miss Miller
00:51:56comes to my brother's
00:51:57wedding party, too,
00:51:58we'll be the talk
00:51:59of the town.
00:52:00If you want to invite
00:52:01my mother to your party,
00:52:02why don't you
00:52:03ask her yourself?
00:52:04Oh,
00:52:04what a brilliant idea.
00:52:06If you would be so kind
00:52:07as to lead us to her.
00:52:08There's no need for that.
00:52:10My mother is here
00:52:11right now.
00:52:16Where is she?
00:52:21Sir,
00:52:22are you playing
00:52:23some kind of trick on us?
00:52:25I don't see
00:52:25Miss Miller
00:52:26anywhere.
00:52:27I would certainly
00:52:27recognize her
00:52:28if she was in my town.
00:52:29Well,
00:52:29of course you would.
00:52:31Nothing happens here
00:52:32without the mayor
00:52:32knowing about it.
00:52:33Are you suggesting
00:52:34I wouldn't recognize
00:52:35my own mother?
00:52:39If what you're saying
00:52:40is true,
00:52:41when did she come
00:52:42to our town?
00:52:42Fifteen years ago.
00:52:44My mother came here
00:52:45to live in seclusion
00:52:46after she stepped down
00:52:47as the Phoenix CEO.
00:52:50Fifteen years ago?
00:52:52That's not possible.
00:52:55I'm so sorry
00:53:00it took so long,
00:53:01mother.
00:53:03Come here,
00:53:05my son.
00:53:06You've gone so old.
00:53:09I missed you.
00:53:12You're a beautiful man now.
00:53:13Phoenix Gove CEO?
00:53:23Impossible.
00:53:28She's really
00:53:29Miss Miller?
00:53:30Phoenix Gove CEO?
00:53:32There has to be
00:53:33some mistake.
00:53:34She's nothing
00:53:35but a filthy woman
00:53:36who works for the orphanage.
00:53:38That sucker could not
00:53:39possibly be the real
00:53:40Miss Miller.
00:53:40Miss Miller?
00:53:43Miss Miller,
00:53:45please excuse
00:53:46my girlfriend's
00:53:47disgraceful behavior.
00:53:50I take full responsibility.
00:53:52Punish me as you see fit.
00:53:53Our adopted mother
00:53:54is the same as Miss Miller?
00:53:59What have we done?
00:54:03A moment, Mother.
00:54:04Are you Grace?
00:54:08Take care, Mother.
00:54:09Mother.
00:54:10I'm the analyst.
00:54:13Now it's time
00:54:15for you all
00:54:15to explain yourselves.
00:54:23This is all
00:54:24a misunderstanding.
00:54:25Miller!
00:54:29Apologize to my mother.
00:54:31Now!
00:54:34Miss Miller,
00:54:35I beg of you.
00:54:36I'm sorry.
00:54:37I'm so, so sorry.
00:54:38You're only apologizing now
00:54:40because you know
00:54:41who I am.
00:54:42As I said,
00:54:44you would rig Brett
00:54:44being born.
00:54:46Guards,
00:54:47get him out of my sight.
00:54:48Make sure you never
00:54:48see a shady city again.
00:54:53Sean,
00:54:54if that's the real
00:54:55Miss Miller,
00:54:55then who did you invite
00:54:56to my birthday dinner?
00:54:58Tell her.
00:54:59Tell her she's never
00:55:00really met me.
00:55:01Tell her that I'm
00:55:02the real CEO
00:55:02of Phoenix Group.
00:55:03You thought you
00:55:11actually deserved
00:55:12to see the real
00:55:12Miss Miller?
00:55:13It was just some
00:55:14employee that I
00:55:14paid to pretend.
00:55:15I didn't think
00:55:16you'd be stupid
00:55:17enough to not notice.
00:55:18And now,
00:55:19look at the trouble
00:55:19you've caused.
00:55:23Miss Miller,
00:55:24this worthless girl
00:55:25has caused
00:55:25nothing but trouble.
00:55:27I'll kill her myself
00:55:27if you'll forgive me.
00:55:29Someone like you
00:55:30doesn't even deserve
00:55:31to work at the
00:55:32Phoenix Group.
00:55:33Remove him.
00:55:38Miss Miller,
00:55:40we were wrong.
00:55:43We'll never do
00:55:43anything like this
00:55:44again.
00:55:45Please,
00:55:46have mercy.
00:55:47Forgive us
00:55:48just this once.
00:55:49You all tortured
00:55:50people for years.
00:55:53If I was to
00:55:54forgive you,
00:55:55you would go on
00:55:56and continue to
00:55:56hurt innocent people.
00:55:58Take them away.
00:55:59Deal with them
00:55:59accordingly.
00:56:01Take a break.
00:56:02Take a break.
00:56:03No, I...
00:56:04I don't know.
00:56:05Ah!
00:56:10Where do you
00:56:11think you're going?
00:56:12I am not done
00:56:13with you two.
00:56:16What are you planning
00:56:17on doing with
00:56:17these two?
00:56:19You two wanted
00:56:19this house so badly.
00:56:21Burn it down.
00:56:23You don't deserve it.
00:56:24You heard my mother.
00:56:25Burn it down.
00:56:26Now!
00:56:26Yes, sir!
00:56:27Yes, sir!
00:56:27mother.
00:56:52Mother.
00:56:54Mother, please.
00:56:55for your children.
00:57:07All these years in seclusion,
00:57:09I gave you everything,
00:57:11and yet all you wanted was for me to die?
00:57:13You've really shown your true colors.
00:57:16And you know what?
00:57:17Now you never have to call me mother again.
00:57:21Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:57:25And you, you're not off the hook.
00:57:28I'll deal with you later.
00:57:31Yes, my.
00:57:36My dear, somebody very special
00:57:39I want to introduce you to.
00:57:40Grace, this is my son, Alexander.
00:57:43It's an honor to meet you, sir.
00:57:46Please, you're my sister now.
00:57:48There's no need for families.
00:57:49Mother, we'll arrange a welcome banquet
00:57:51for you at the Cloud Peak Restaurant.
00:57:54What better occasion
00:57:55to introduce my daughter
00:57:57to the whole world,
00:57:59the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
00:58:06It's a historical day for the Phoenix Group.
00:58:09The city must know
00:58:10or a CEO is back.
00:58:13I'll send out the invitation.
00:58:14Is that your boyfriend?
00:58:22The one that was studying abroad?
00:58:24Yes.
00:58:25He promised me when he came back home
00:58:27that he would propose to me.
00:58:29I'm expecting him to pop the question
00:58:31anytime now.
00:58:32That's wonderful.
00:58:34Take the call,
00:58:35but why don't you also invite him
00:58:36to the banquet tonight, okay?
00:58:37Okay.
00:58:38Hi.
00:58:43Cloud Peak Restaurant.
00:58:44Yeah, I can meet you there.
00:58:48There's, um, actually
00:58:49something important
00:58:50I need to tell you.
00:58:51Wow!
00:59:03Oh my...
00:59:04Wow!
00:59:04Who's that beautiful young woman?
00:59:22She must be somewhat important to be at Phoenix Grylls Banquet tonight.
00:59:29Aiden!
00:59:34Victoria? Long time no see, bestie.
00:59:44What's going on here?
00:59:46What does it look like?
00:59:49Best friend and I are together now.
00:59:53But you promised me you'd give me a ring when you came back.
00:59:58Oh, you did get a ring.
01:00:00Just not for you, loser.
01:00:04Shocked to see our son engage with someone worthy of him.
01:00:07A proper match, at last.
01:00:10Unlike you and your useless poor mother, who can't possibly help him in his career.
01:00:16That's right.
01:00:17My mother's a secretary at Phoenix Group, and she got Nathan the regional manager position at the company.
01:00:22Things change when you have the right connections.
01:00:26Isn't that right, sweetie?
01:00:27So that's why you chose my best friend over me?
01:00:32How could you both do this to me?
01:00:34Shut your mouth.
01:00:38Oh, honey.
01:00:39Save yourself the humiliation and leave.
01:00:42You don't belong here.
01:00:52Everything's set.
01:00:53City's most powerful leader here to meet Grace.
01:00:55Grace.
01:00:57Grace deserves this moment.
01:01:11After tonight, everyone will know that she's the heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:01:20Wait, what?
01:01:22Someone's causing trouble to my sister.
01:01:23Did you honestly think you could compete with me?
01:01:29You're just the daughter of some poor, crazy woman who can't even walk.
01:01:35And that dress.
01:01:36What'd you do?
01:01:37Steal it?
01:01:38Trash like you could never afford a dress like that.
01:01:41Probably borrowed it.
01:01:42Pretend she's not poor.
01:01:44Just like her mother.
01:01:45Pretend to be someone she's not.
01:01:47Let me return it to whatever store you stole it from.
01:01:53Mama.
01:01:54Mama.
01:01:54Mama.
01:01:54Mama.
01:01:54Mama.
01:01:55Mama.
01:02:05Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:02:08Your mother will always protect you now, okay?
01:02:10How dare you throw wine on my future daughter-in-law?
01:02:20How disgusting.
01:02:22This is why poor people like her have no business at events like this.
01:02:26And who might you be?
01:02:27I'm Nathan's father, Bill Carter.
01:02:30And I am his mother, Helen.
01:02:32So your son is the young man that my daughter was interested in?
01:02:37Just as I suspect.
01:02:40He's not worthy of my daughter.
01:02:42Who are you to talk down to my son like that?
01:02:45Our son is the perfect match any girl could hope for.
01:02:49Oh, really?
01:02:59The three heirs of the largest corporation?
01:03:02Only Phoenix Group is above them.
01:03:04What are they doing here?
01:03:08I'm James Bryan from the Sterling International Group.
01:03:11It's an honor to meet you, Grace.
01:03:13Grace, would you be honored to meet me at the dinner bar sometimes?
01:03:17I would love to take a travel with me when you can.
01:03:19My schedule is completely open.
01:03:21I, sweetheart, don't be afraid.
01:03:25You really do deserve someone better.
01:03:28Grace, these are some of the finest young men in the city.
01:03:31And if none of them are to your desire, they're CEOs, they're entrepreneurs, and they're architects eager to meet you.
01:03:38What's going on?
01:03:40Why are all these rich men surrounding trash like you?
01:03:43You pathetic whore!
01:03:44Since when do you know people with real money?
01:03:47You manipulative, little slut!
01:03:50What other secrets are you hiding?
01:03:52Who?
01:03:53How?
01:03:54You think you're good enough to touch my sister?
01:03:55Did you just say, sister?
01:04:02I thought you said she was an orphan!
01:04:05How can she be Alexander's sister?
01:04:09Alexander, surely there's been some sort of mistake.
01:04:12And who exactly do you think you are to question me?
01:04:16Alexander, you must be confused.
01:04:19Grace is nothing but a worthless orphan.
01:04:21It's true, she's nothing but trash.
01:04:27She's garbage!
01:04:29Nothing but garbage!
01:04:36Who?
01:04:37Who are you?
01:04:39Since you're so desperate to find out who my daughter is, you, you'll find out soon enough.
01:04:48And you!
01:04:50You will see exactly what you threw away.
01:04:54Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the CEO of Phoenix Group, Ms. Miller!
01:05:00Ms. Miller!
01:05:09She, she, she can't be!
01:05:24The, really, CEO of the Phoenix Group?
01:05:30Thank you all for coming this evening.
01:05:35During my absence, I worked the hardest, most low-paying job.
01:05:40I wanted to understand the struggle of the less fortunate.
01:05:44And what I ended up finding was something unexpected.
01:05:47I found a daughter with a heart of gold.
01:05:51Tonight, I'm proud to introduce the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:05:55Oh, you worthless bitch, this is all your fault!
01:06:00You made me betray Grace.
01:06:03Don't blame me because you threw away someone important!
01:06:07Grace, please.
01:06:09I never cared about her.
01:06:10I always loved you.
01:06:12Just give me another chance.
01:06:13I'll prove myself worthy.
01:06:16Alexander.
01:06:22Your sister is both kind and wise.
01:06:24You need to trust that she'll do the right thing.
01:06:30Grace, Victoria deceived us all.
01:06:33Our son truly cares for you.
01:06:35Give him one more chance.
01:06:36Yes, Grace.
01:06:37You and Nathan have history.
01:06:39If you become our daughter-in-law, we'll treat you like our own.
01:06:43When you thought my mom and I were nothing,
01:06:45you treated us like dirt.
01:06:47And then you stood by and watched while Nathan betrayed me
01:06:51and humiliated my mother.
01:06:52Grace, I was wrong.
01:06:53I mean, even my parents see you now.
01:06:56It'll never, ever happen again.
01:06:58I swear.
01:06:59You're only sorry because of who I am now.
01:07:02Yes, I once had feelings for you.
01:07:05But that's over.
01:07:06I never want to see you again.
01:07:09You think you're above me now?
01:07:17Pay me $100 million or else everyone finds out how you really became the Phoenix Gruberis.
01:07:24By sleeping with your own adoptive brother.
01:07:28How dare you?
01:07:32That's a lie.
01:07:33Truth doesn't matter.
01:07:36My mother is a PR manager at Phoenix Group.
01:07:38She can forge all the proof we need.
01:07:40The press will eat it up.
01:07:42And I'll back every word of it.
01:07:45After all, I am regional manager of Phoenix Group.
01:07:48Just pay us the money.
01:07:50The Phoenix Group has the money.
01:07:51Or watch your reputation crumble.
01:07:54Is your mother's name Sarah Bell?
01:07:57She's the PR manager for Phoenix Group, right?
01:08:00So what old hag?
01:08:02Oh, she clearly didn't know how to teach you manners.
01:08:07So I guess she's fired.
01:08:10What?
01:08:11You can't do that!
01:08:12You and your two families can take your stuff and get out of the city.
01:08:17You're going to have a very hard time finding any work here.
01:08:21Please have mercy on my son.
01:08:25He's a foolish boy.
01:08:26He doesn't know what he's doing.
01:08:29Take them away.
01:08:30I do not want to see them in the city again.
01:08:35Yes, Miss Miller.
01:08:37Wait.
01:08:39No, no, don't touch me!
01:08:40No, no, wait!
01:08:41I don't want to!
01:08:42I don't want to!
01:08:44Wait, wait, wait!
01:08:47Sweetheart, don't let his cruelty spoil this evening.
01:08:51This moment, it is yours.
01:08:53They can't hurt me anymore, Mom.
01:08:55Not with you by my side.
01:08:57My sweet daughter.
01:09:00You, you stuck by me when I was sick.
01:09:03And I almost died.
01:09:04And you, you never gave up on me.
01:09:06And you gave me hope and strength.
01:09:10You gave me so much more.
01:09:12You gave me love when I thought I would never know what that would feel like.
01:09:15And you rescued me and you gave me a family.
01:09:17No, no, no.
01:09:21Tonight, I want everyone to see who you really are.
01:09:26You're kind, compassionate, brilliant, unbreakable.
01:09:31And I mean no one will ever speak down to you again.
01:09:35I don't need the world's approval, Mom.
01:09:37I have everything I could ever want right here.
01:09:40My sweet daughter.
01:09:41Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make.
01:09:51Not only will my mother be coming back as the CEO,
01:09:55but I'm proud to announce as well that my sister, Grace,

01:10:01as the youngest billionaire heiress.
01:10:06Grace, the Lord helped me.
