00:00:00Bella, are you tired?
00:00:05Mom, look, I found another bottle.
00:00:07Good job, Bella.
00:00:12Mom, in a few days, it'll be mine and Dad's birthdays.
00:00:14I want to give Dad a present.
00:00:19Mom, is Bella Lopez's family that poor?
00:00:21Why does she collect bottles every day?
00:00:23Stay away from her, understand?
00:00:25Rest in rags and digging through trash.
00:00:27Who knows what germs she's carrying?
00:00:30Mom always says poverty isn't shameful.
00:00:37You and Dad work so hard.
00:00:38I want to help carry the burden.
00:00:39I don't mind.
00:00:41Okay.
00:00:43We are.
00:00:48Come.
00:00:51It's Dad.
00:00:52Dad.
00:00:56Dad.
00:01:00I'll take you for a feast.
00:01:09Okay.
00:01:10Mom.
00:01:10Mom.
00:01:25Mom, is that Dad?
00:01:26Don't look, Bella.
00:01:28That's not him.
00:01:30James Lopez.
00:01:32Why are you here?
00:01:42James Lopez.
00:01:44Why are you here?
00:01:45The child Mr. Lopez was holding earlier.
00:01:49Rumor says it's from ten years ago, the child of his first love.
00:01:53So all these years, Mr. Lopez, has he been keeping himself pure for her?
00:01:57Who knows?
00:01:57Maybe she'll become our future boss's wife.
00:02:00Mr. Lopez is Sea City's most eligible bachelor.
00:02:02His net worth is estimated in the billions.
00:02:05Any woman he chooses would be so lucky.
00:02:09Easy, easy.
00:02:09Are you okay?
00:02:12Need some water?
00:02:12It's all my fault for being useless.
00:02:20You're pregnant yet still working hard to provide for us.
00:02:23It's not hard.
00:02:25As long as we're together as a family, any hardship feels sweet.
00:02:31James Lopez.
00:02:32We've been married ten years.
00:02:34You said you came from humble beginnings, had a hard job.
00:02:37All these years, I've scrimped and saved to support us, caring for you without complaint.
00:02:42Never dreamed you've been lying all along.
00:02:45Look, Mom.
00:02:45I sold all the recyclables.
00:02:47The old man gave me two extra UN.
00:02:50Good job, Bella.
00:02:57Mama.
00:02:58That's Daddy over there.
00:03:01Bella.
00:03:02Daddy's busy with work.
00:03:03Let's go home and wait for Daddy, okay?
00:03:06Mom.
00:03:07One more day collecting bottles and I'll have enough to buy Daddy a gift.
00:03:15Manny Shaw?
00:03:17James.
00:03:18What are you looking at?
00:03:19Oh, nothing.
00:03:20James Lopez, when will you tell Manny Shaw your true identity?
00:03:26She doesn't care about wealth or status.
00:03:27If she knew the truth, she might struggle with luxury living.
00:03:30Let's keep things as they are.
00:03:33Daddy Lopez, can you be just my daddy?
00:03:36Okay.
00:03:50Mom, are we really leaving?
00:04:01Zala.
00:04:03If I part ways with Dad, will you come with me?
00:04:06Mom, did I do something wrong?
00:04:08Is that why Dad's abandoning us?
00:04:10Of course not.
00:04:12You're the sweetest girl.
00:04:16It's just the one Dad loves has returned.
00:04:18He probably never wants to see us again.
00:04:22Mom, let's stay, please.
00:04:24In a few days, it's both our birthdays.
00:04:27Dad promised me this time he'd celebrate with me.
00:04:31But he's forgotten already.
00:04:33Mom, I know Dad will keep his word.
00:04:36I don't want us to split up.
00:04:38Let's give him another chance, please.
00:04:43Mom booked train tickets in two days.
00:04:45So, let's give Dad one last chance.
00:04:48You're home, Dad.
00:04:59What are you doing?
00:05:00Just sorting old clothes.
00:05:03These are leftovers from business dinner.
00:05:04Eat them up.
00:05:05No need.
00:05:06I'll cook.
00:05:07Manny Shaw, when did you become so wasteful?
00:05:10Have you scored leftovers?
00:05:12James Lopez.
00:05:13You Bella and I only deserve scraps.
00:05:15Dad, is this my birthday present?
00:05:24No.
00:05:25Don't touch my legs.
00:05:29James Lopez.
00:05:30You've never celebrated her birthday.
00:05:32Never bought her a single gift.
00:05:34You promised her.
00:05:35It's just a toy.
00:05:36Why the rage?
00:05:37I'll be right there.
00:05:49Dad, tomorrow's school field trip.
00:05:53Can I use this money to buy your time?
00:05:56They say I have no father.
00:05:57I want to prove I do have a dad.
00:05:59Dad, will you join my field trip tomorrow?
00:06:07Got it.
00:06:09Mom, Daddy promised me.
00:06:14James Lopez.
00:06:16I hope you'll keep your word.
00:06:18Don't let Bella down again.
00:06:22Mom, look.
00:06:24Daddy gave me the toy.
00:06:25He loves me too, right?
00:06:27Okay.
00:06:27Mom, we'll wait here to save a seat for Daddy.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:52Bella, I need to make a call first.
00:06:54The event hasn't started yet.
00:06:55Be good and don't run around, okay?
00:06:57Go ahead, Mom.
00:06:58Ms. Green is right there.
00:07:00I won't run off.
00:07:01Be good.
00:07:12Hello, Manager.
00:07:13I want to resign.
00:07:14I want to resign.
00:07:26Zach Olsen, what are you doing?
00:07:39My mom said, only four people eat this junk food.
00:07:42These things you brought are eyesores to me.
00:07:44Take them and get lost.
00:07:46I was saving the seat for my dad.
00:07:47Why should I give it to you?
00:07:48You're lying.
00:07:49You don't even have a dad and still want the best spot?
00:07:52I'm not lying.
00:07:53My dad will be here any minute.
00:07:55Come on, everyone.
00:07:55All my classmates can back me up.
00:07:57You're just a fatherless beggar, kid.
00:07:59Ah.
00:08:00Since kindergarten, I've been classmates with Bella Lopez.
00:08:03Her dad's never once attended parent-teacher meetings.
00:08:05Or picked her up after school.
00:08:06Bella Lopez, how come we've never seen your dad pick you up?
00:08:23She digs through trash after school daily.
00:08:26If she had a dad, would she be that poor?
00:08:30This troubled kid shouldn't be in my child's class.
00:08:33Trash picking?
00:08:34Probably carrying all sorts of germs.
00:08:36Stay away from her.
00:08:38I'm perfectly clean.
00:08:39Don't believe me?
00:08:39Take a sniff.
00:08:50What do you have to say now?
00:08:52Everyone here can confirm you have no father.
00:08:54I'm really not lying.
00:08:56My dad promised me.
00:08:56He'll definitely come.
00:09:04Dad.
00:09:06Dad.
00:09:19Bella Lopez, why are you shouting nonsense?
00:09:21He's my dad.
00:09:27Dad.
00:09:28Bella, today I'm here as Zach's father.
00:09:35To avoid misunderstandings that could hurt Zach, you should call me Uncle.
00:09:39Dad.
00:09:40But you promised me...
00:09:41What do you call me?
00:09:47Uncle Lopez.
00:09:48First you steal my dad, now you fight my dog for toys?
00:09:59Look everyone, this toy and the one my dad bought from my pet dog are identical.
00:10:04This toy was from my dad.
00:10:05Give it back.
00:10:06See, this is the proof.
00:10:19It's clearly a dog toy.
00:10:22Bella Lopez claims her dad gave her this.
00:10:24Does her father really think she's worth less than a dog?
00:10:27Enough!
00:10:27Zach, let's find another spot to set up the tent.
00:10:32I'm going to find mom.
00:10:40You dare tattle to mom?
00:10:47James, it's just kids fooling around.
00:10:49Adults shouldn't get involved.
00:10:55What's going on?
00:10:58Teacher Green, Bella Lopez stole the class fund.
00:10:59That's not the class fund.
00:11:01Give it back.
00:11:02What's happening here?
00:11:03Bella Lopez's bag is full of money.
00:11:05Her family's so poor.
00:11:06How is that possible for her to have this much pocket money?
00:11:08She must have stolen the class fund.
00:11:10I've seen her collecting bottles to sell.
00:11:12She can't have that much money.
00:11:15Collecting bottles?
00:11:17Bella Lopez, where did you get this money?
00:11:20Teacher Green, I'm not a thief.
00:11:22This money, I collected bottles for a month.
00:11:25I wanted to save up for dead.
00:11:29You're lying.
00:11:31Who saves money for their dad?
00:11:32Teacher Green, she lied about having a dad earlier.
00:11:35Now she's stealing.
00:11:36She doesn't deserve to be our classmate.
00:11:40I didn't...
00:11:41Dad, prove it.
00:11:42I...
00:11:42Bella Lopez, apologize.
00:11:48I don't care where you got this money.
00:11:53You shouldn't have caused such a scene with your classmates.
00:11:54Apologize to the teacher and your classmates.
00:11:56I did nothing wrong.
00:11:57Why should I apologize?
00:11:58Zach Olsen is the one who bullied me.
00:12:00You lied and stole things.
00:12:02You still think you're right?
00:12:03How dare you?
00:12:04I told you I didn't do it.
00:12:05Bella Lopez, you refuse to listen, don't you?
00:12:07I said apologize.
00:12:09Mr. Olsen, this hasn't been properly investigated yet.
00:12:12Let's not scare the child first.
00:12:14Wait until...
00:12:14There's nothing to investigate.
00:12:16I can testify.
00:12:16It was Bella Lopez who stole the money.
00:12:18Dad, why do you believe everything Zach Olsen says?
00:12:21You just won't believe me.
00:12:23Are you really going to abandon me?
00:12:25Liar!
00:12:25He's my dad!
00:12:26I'll have him wrong one more time.
00:12:27I'll hit you.
00:12:32Bella Lopez, this is the last time I'm telling you.
00:12:34Apologize to your classmates.
00:12:36Dad, I'm truly not wrong.
00:12:38Apologize!
00:12:38Classmates, I'm sorry.
00:12:57What are you all doing?
00:13:01Mom!
00:13:05James Lopez, what are you doing?
00:13:07Manny Shaw, your daughter stole the class fund.
00:13:11Miss Green is handling this matter.
00:13:13Mom, I didn't steal the money.
00:13:15That money was from selling bottles I saved up.
00:13:18I wanted to buy Dad's birthday gift with it.
00:13:21So, Bella's been collecting trash to save money just to get me a present?
00:13:25Miss Green, my daughter didn't steal anything.
00:13:27I demand an explanation from you.
00:13:29Mrs. Lopez, rest assured, I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:13:32Miss Green, she picks up garbage after school every day.
00:13:35Not only is she covered in germs, she'll drag down the class's performance.
00:13:38How can this poor kid be in the same class as mine?
00:13:41What's her tone?
00:13:42Hmph!
00:13:43Everyone settle down!
00:13:45Bella Lopez has excellent academics and behavior.
00:13:48She won't hold the class back at all.
00:13:50Don't worry, we won't bother you all anymore.
00:13:53Manny Shaw, what's that supposed to mean?
00:13:56Zack Orson's dad.
00:13:58You're overstepping.
00:14:01Mom, let's go.
00:14:04Go.
00:14:04Trash collector!
00:14:07Here's your money back!
00:14:18Mom, I don't need it anymore.
00:14:19I just want to leave.
00:14:26Uncle.
00:14:27Goodbye.
00:14:27Goodbye.
00:14:34Goodbye forever, Dad.
00:14:48Dad, is this my birthday present from you?
00:14:52Bella.
00:14:53James, we need to set up the tent quickly.
00:14:57Bella, I'll apologize probably when Dad comes home.
00:14:59I'll apologize probably when Dad comes home.
00:15:04Bella, we're leaving for good this time and never coming back.
00:15:12Anyway, it's fine as long as I'm with Mom.
00:15:13Doesn't matter where we go.
00:15:16What about Dad?
00:15:17I don't need him.
00:15:22Let's go.
00:15:23Sit.
00:15:33Okay.
00:15:36Dad, happy birthday to you.
00:15:39Come.
00:15:41Make a wish.
00:15:46Dad.
00:15:46In a few days, it'll be Bella and Dad's birthday.
00:15:52I want to give Dad a present, then cut the cake together with Dad.
00:15:55Make wishes.
00:15:56Dad, why do you believe everything Zach Olsen says but never trust me?
00:16:00Do you really not want me anymore?
00:16:06James, you...
00:16:07I'm sorry.
00:16:13It's my daughter's birthday today, too.
00:16:14I need to be with her now.
00:16:20Bella.
00:16:22Bella!
00:16:24Dad's coming back!
00:16:30Manny Shaw, where did you take my daughter?
00:16:32Come back immediately.
00:16:32About yesterday's incident, I've already apologised to Serena and her son for you.
00:16:37Don't let it happen again.
00:16:38I can forgive you this time.
00:16:45Didn't you always want to celebrate with me?
00:16:47Cake and presents, I've got everything.
00:16:49Get back here now.
00:16:50My patience is wearing thin.
00:17:01Divorce papers?
00:17:02Severance agreement.
00:17:13Dad.
00:17:14This is Bella calling you Dad for the last time.
00:17:17Mom and I are leaving now.
00:17:18From now on, you're no longer my father.
00:17:23Manny Shaw!
00:17:25How dare you threaten me with divorce?
00:17:27And taught Bella to write this.
00:17:30I don't believe you'll actually leave.
00:17:31What are you doing?
00:17:44Just packing some old clothes.
00:17:47Did Manny Shaw really leave?
00:17:49What are you doing?
00:17:49Is that Dad?
00:18:02It's okay, Mom.
00:18:03I'm not sad.
00:18:05I just feel regretful.
00:18:06Dad and I share the same birthday, yet we've never celebrated together.
00:18:09Happy birthday to you, Dad.
00:18:23Make a wish.
00:18:24Mom, stop looking.
00:18:26A dad who makes Mom sad.
00:18:27I don't want him.
00:18:28I don't want him.
00:18:28I don't want him.
00:18:37Mom, can I go to that park one more time?
00:18:50We'll make it.
00:18:51Driver, please pull over.
00:18:57Just as I thought.
00:18:58I gave you an out and you just came back meekly.
00:19:00Manny Shaw, you...
00:19:06Who are you two?
00:19:08Who are you?
00:19:10This is my house.
00:19:12So you're Manny Shaw's irresponsible and neglectful husband?
00:19:15Dressed nicely, yet let your wife and child scavenge for scraps?
00:19:19What did you just say?
00:19:20Listen here.
00:19:21Manny Shaw already moved out.
00:19:23Hand over your key.
00:19:24I need to rent it to someone decent.
00:19:26Moved out?
00:19:27How could she leave?
00:19:28Why the shock?
00:19:29You seem well off.
00:19:31When your wife kept missing rent, where were you?
00:19:34Just a deadbeat mooch?
00:19:36Enough!
00:19:37I'm done talking.
00:19:38Give me the key.
00:19:39Manny Shaw, how dare you?
00:19:42I'm not leaving.
00:19:43Get out now.
00:19:43Are you insane?
00:19:46It's my property.
00:19:47Stop acting rich.
00:19:49If you're so wealthy, buy this damn house.
00:19:51Don't make them collect trash for rent.
00:19:52I only kept them here out of pity.
00:19:59Five million in this cart.
00:20:00Enough to buy it?
00:20:02More than enough.
00:20:03Fee transfer tomorrow.
00:20:08Inventing hardship.
00:20:10Rich as creases.
00:20:11But also let his wife and child pick up garbage.
00:20:13Rent a house.
00:20:14Where am I?
00:20:15Out!
00:20:15Out!
00:20:17Did Manny Shaw really take Bella away?
00:20:20She has no family, no money.
00:20:22Where could they go?
00:20:31Is it fun?
00:20:33What's up?
00:20:34Why the urgent summons?
00:20:35Bella said you've never taken her to the amusement park.
00:20:38So...
00:20:38I'm swamped with work and can't afford to waste time here.
00:20:41Daddy, you actually came.
00:20:43I'm so happy.
00:20:44Hmm.
00:20:45Daddy, follow me.
00:20:46I'll show you my secret spot.
00:20:48It's super fun here.
00:20:56Mom.
00:20:57Daddy did love me once, right?
00:21:00Then why doesn't he love me anymore?
00:21:04Don't cry.
00:21:09Mom.
00:21:10Let's go.
00:21:11Reliable sources indicate West City Park is undergoing major renovations.
00:21:15The project aims to transform it into a comprehensive leisure space for community residents.
00:21:24Hmm.
00:21:24So they just went to the park.
00:21:26Manny Shaw, I knew it.
00:21:28You didn't even dare to run away properly.
00:21:37Here.
00:21:37Are you okay?
00:21:38Are you okay?
00:21:38What are you doing?
00:21:45Who do we have here?
00:21:47Oh, it's you.
00:21:48How did you drive like that?
00:21:49What?
00:21:50Quit scavenging?
00:21:51And switch to scamming?
00:21:52Serena Olsen, you were the one who hit us.
00:21:55Ugh.
00:21:56James just bought me this car.
00:21:57I'm still getting used to it.
00:21:59Are you two hurt?
00:22:01Want me to drive you to the hospital in my new car?
00:22:03This area is terrible for catching buses.
00:22:05Ew.
00:22:05Bella Lopez, are you my shadow?
00:22:08My dad said this is the perfect place to walk the dog.
00:22:11Why are you here?
00:22:12We were here first.
00:22:14Dad even told Zach Olsen about my secret spot.
00:22:17So, in dad's eyes, I'll never measure up to Zach Olsen.
00:22:22Mom, let's just go.
00:22:24Come on.
00:22:26Huh?
00:22:30Bella, you're hurt.
00:22:31Mom, I'm okay, Mom.
00:22:32It doesn't hurt.
00:22:33Let's go to the hospital.
00:22:34Did I say you could leave?
00:22:37You hit my new car and think you can just walk away?
00:22:39You were the one who crashed into us and injured my daughter.
00:22:42How dare you twist the truth now?
00:22:44Your daughter's life, even if she got killed, wouldn't cover my car's damages.
00:22:47Serena Olsen, don't push your luck.
00:22:49What's so unreasonable?
00:22:50This car is a limited global edition.
00:22:52James just gifted it to me.
00:22:53A single scratch costs over 100,000 yuan.
00:22:56So, how will you compensate me?
00:22:58Signing IOU notes or begging for mercy on your knees?
00:23:00I have no money.
00:23:02Go ask James Lopez for money.
00:23:03If you're trying to prove how generous James Lopez is to you, save your breath.
00:23:06I know exactly what's going on.
00:23:08Manny, sure.
00:23:09You're playing hard to get called James back home.
00:23:11Ruined the birthday party I planned for him.
00:23:13This incident, I haven't settled with you yet.
00:23:15He's my husband.
00:23:16How I bring him home is none of your buildings.
00:23:18Come on.
00:23:19Don't you wonder why James treats me so well?
00:23:21You didn't know, did you?
00:23:22Zach and I living abroad these years, James sent us a monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan.
00:23:27So we could live comfortably.
00:23:28These hands of mine never washed a single dish.
00:23:30Groceries 13, bus fare 3, Bella, Bella's milk 65.
00:23:45Almost nothing left this month, Bella's tutoring fees.
00:23:48What should I do?
00:23:49Working late again?
00:24:00Oh, Bella needs class fees.
00:24:03I took a part-time job.
00:24:07Money, money, money.
00:24:08Always money issues.
00:24:09So annoying.
00:24:09James Lopez, when I'm worrying about money so much I can't sleep, you spend millions annually on your precious first lover.
00:24:19Serena Olsen was right.
00:24:20I'm both pitiful and ridiculous.
00:24:22Are you insane?
00:24:25Serena Olsen, insult my daughter again and I'll hit you again.
00:24:28You witch!
00:24:29How dare you hit my mom?
00:24:30Just wait till Dad Lopez comes back.
00:24:32He'll end you!
00:24:33I'm only speaking the truth.
00:24:35I can negotiate partnerships for Lopez Group.
00:24:37What about you?
00:24:37To Mr. Lopez, you're just pathetic dogs begging for scraps.
00:24:41Worthless trash.
00:24:42If you divorce James Lopez, I might generously spare you some cash so you two can enjoy a few decent days.
00:24:48Serena Olsen, you want me to divorce James Lopez?
00:24:51Absolutely.
00:24:52Once you're divorced, your man becomes mine, and my son will inherit Lopez Group someday.
00:24:56But legally, I'm still James Lopez's wife.
00:24:59Every penny he transferred to you is half mine.
00:25:01Push me again, and I'll sue to reclaim every cent he gave you.
00:25:05A trash collector knows about marital assets?
00:25:07I don't, but experts do.
00:25:09Even a corner dog will fight back.
00:25:10Push me too far, and I'll do anything.
00:25:13No money, power, or connections.
00:25:15How will you afford a lawyer?
00:25:16Even if you could, could your lawyer beat Lopez Group's legal team?
00:25:19Listen, many shall know your place.
00:25:21Your current behavior only disgusts James Lopez more.
00:25:24He's trash I discarded.
00:25:26If you want him, just take him.
00:25:27Stop harassing me.
00:25:29You'll really divorce James?
00:25:33I'll divorce him.
00:25:34Manny Short, what did you say?
00:25:35Oh, right.
00:25:38James took out two months every year to visit us abroad, taking care of our daily needs.
00:25:43Tell me, why is he so good to us?
00:25:45Mom, Dad Lopez is so good to us.
00:25:47He must love us.
00:25:48My son is so smart.
00:25:50James Lopez loves you, but he married me.
00:25:52He loves you, doesn't give you a title, keeping you like a mistress.
00:25:55If you think that's love, then please you two stay locked together and don't harm others.
00:25:59He married you because ten years ago I left him to go abroad.
00:26:02You're just someone he married to take care of his daily life, just a maid.
00:26:04He doesn't love you at all.
00:26:06He didn't even tell you he's the CEO of the Lopez Group, letting you and your daughter continue to live a hard life.
00:26:11Manny Short, he doesn't love you at all.
00:26:13Do you know that?
00:26:14Every time he comes out of your apartment, he's picked up by a luxury car.
00:26:17After getting home, he immediately takes a shower.
00:26:19Do you know why?
00:26:20Because your apartment is full of trash you picked up.
00:26:22It's too dirty.
00:26:23What are you trying to say?
00:26:25You should have some self-awareness.
00:26:26He doesn't love you at all.
00:26:28Why are you clinging to him?
00:26:29Aren't you suffering?
00:26:31This is between James Lopez and me.
00:26:32It's our business.
00:26:33It's none of your concern.
00:26:34What are you expecting?
00:26:37You've been with him for ten years.
00:26:38He's never brought you back to the Lopez family.
00:26:40Even Bella Lopez isn't on the Lopez family's genealogy.
00:26:44He doesn't love you.
00:26:46He despises the daughter you bore.
00:26:47Why do you two stay by his side like mangy dogs?
00:26:49Manny Shaw.
00:26:55Manny Shaw, what did you say?
00:26:56You mentioned divorce.
00:26:58The divorce agreement clearly states, I want a divorce from you.
00:27:01This old hag actually dared to divorce, James?
00:27:04What a fool.
00:27:06James, Sister Manny seems to have misunderstood us.
00:27:10Should I not have returned?
00:27:12Caused you trouble, huh?
00:27:14Not your concern.
00:27:16Manny Shaw, after all these years of marriage,
00:27:18we've never even raised voices at each other.
00:27:19Now you're suspecting me and Serena over nothing.
00:27:22I understand your feelings.
00:27:23I'll give you one chance.
00:27:24Apologize to me and I'll pretend you never mentioned divorce.
00:27:26As for you taking our daughter away,
00:27:28I'll let that slide too.
00:27:29No need.
00:27:30The one you've been waiting for over a decade has finally returned.
00:27:33I'll step aside from you.
00:27:36Manny Shaw,
00:27:36must you always project your filthy thoughts onto me and Serena?
00:27:39We're completely innocent.
00:27:40So innocent you pay her monthly allowance.
00:27:42So innocent her son calls you dad in public.
00:27:45So innocent you two post photos calling each other husband and wife.
00:27:49How pristine.
00:27:50She's struggling alone raising a child.
00:27:52Come on,
00:27:53you've always been so understanding.
00:27:54You do understand us, right?
00:27:55It's hard being a single mother.
00:27:56Do you think I've had it easy?
00:27:58Bella's whole life.
00:27:58Have you ever lifted a finger or helped even once?
00:28:01James Lopez,
00:28:02you make me sick.
00:28:04This divorce is happening.
00:28:07Manny Shaw,
00:28:07where are you taking my daughter?
00:28:09I'm talking to you!
00:28:29Mr. Hull,
00:28:29are you alright?
00:28:30I'm fine.
00:28:32Don't worry, Mr. Hull.
00:28:32Ms. Shaw is married into the prestigious Lopez family of Sea City.
00:28:35She even has such a lovely daughter now.
00:28:37With the Lopez family's status,
00:28:38she'll be well protected.
00:28:41Sigh.
00:28:42If Jason hadn't sacrificed himself to protect the samples ten years ago,
00:28:45we wouldn't have achieved this year's breakthrough.
00:28:57Jason!
00:28:58Jason!
00:28:58Jason!
00:29:02Mr. Shaw died serving our nation.
00:29:19After a decade of research and development,
00:29:22the technology is finally ready.
00:29:23As for Jason Shaw,
00:29:25he's been posthumously honored with the National Medal of Merit.
00:29:27Now I can finally step forward
00:29:29to fulfill his dying wish.
00:29:31With your influence,
00:29:32the Lopez family won't let Ms. Shaw suffer any mistreatment.
00:29:36Let's go.
00:29:37I can't wait to meet Manny Shaw.
00:29:38Mom,
00:29:47my leg is really hurting.
00:29:52Manny Shaw,
00:29:53take this matter home.
00:29:54Don't embarrass yourself here.
00:29:56Where's the cab?
00:29:58I'm talking to you.
00:29:59Are you deaf?
00:30:01James Lopez,
00:30:02you can ignore me,
00:30:03but Bella is your own daughter.
00:30:04She's injured.
00:30:04Can't you see that?
00:30:05Bella's hurt.
00:30:07I'll take you to the hospital then.
00:30:08James,
00:30:09you promised to walk Zach's dog.
00:30:12I'm sorry my daughter's injured.
00:30:15Otto,
00:30:16what's wrong?
00:30:16Don't scare me like this.
00:30:18Dad,
00:30:19Otto just threw up everywhere.
00:30:20Let's get him to the vet right away.
00:30:23James,
00:30:23Otto means everything to Zach.
00:30:25He's crucial to him.
00:30:26If something happens to Otto,
00:30:27Zach will be devastated.
00:30:28Please.
00:30:33Bella,
00:30:33I need to take Zach's dog to the vet first.
00:30:35Wait here for me.
00:30:36I'll come back for you soon.
00:30:37Ah.
00:30:38James Lopez.
00:30:40Not my leg is in serious pain.
00:30:56Please,
00:30:56I'm begging you.
00:30:57Bella is in terrible pain.
00:30:58Can you take us to the hospital first?
00:31:02Sis,
00:31:03Otto means everything to Zach.
00:31:04If anything happens to him,
00:31:06Zach will be devastated.
00:31:08Besides,
00:31:08the car didn't actually hit you earlier.
00:31:10These minor scratches can be treated at a local clinic.
00:31:13I'm begging you.
00:31:15Just let James help us for a little while.
00:31:17We just return to the country
00:31:19and have no one else to turn to.
00:31:22Manny Shaw,
00:31:23stop this nonsense.
00:31:24Otto is crucial to Zach.
00:31:25We must get them to the hospital now.
00:31:27James Lopez!
00:31:29Bella is seriously injured.
00:31:30Look for yourself.
00:31:31Enough, Manny Shaw.
00:31:33It's just a scratch.
00:31:34Stop being so dramatic.
00:31:35Are you making your daughter lie just because you're jealous?
00:31:38Is this how a mother should act?
00:31:40Let's go.
00:31:41Go.
00:31:44Mom,
00:31:45does dad really care more about Zach Olsen's dog than his own daughter?
00:31:50Is anyone?
00:31:51Can someone please help my daughter?
00:31:52Manny Shaw.
00:32:00Kale Perry,
00:32:01my daughter's hurt.
00:32:01Please take us to the hospital.
00:32:03Come with me.
00:32:15Ms. Shaw isn't answering.
00:32:17Track her current location immediately.
00:32:19I'll retrieve her myself.
00:32:21Understood.
00:32:21Also,
00:32:22prepare a $10 billion contract for the Lopez family through the Institute.
00:32:26We'll grant them first access to our tech as repayment for his care towards Manny Shaw.
00:32:30Yes, sir.
00:32:31Executing now.
00:32:37Serena,
00:32:38when you run into Manny Shaw,
00:32:39keep your distance.
00:32:40Don't confront her directly.
00:32:42I'm sorry, James.
00:32:43If I hadn't come back
00:32:44and stayed abroad with Zach to fend for ourselves...
00:32:48That's not what I meant.
00:32:49I need to pity.
00:32:55Stop the car!
00:32:56I ordered you to stop the car now!
00:33:06Dad,
00:33:06Bella's a bit messy.
00:33:08What if I get the seats dirty?
00:33:10Maybe Mom and I should just take the bus.
00:33:12She's right, James.
00:33:13This is your company's car.
00:33:14It's not appropriate for personal use.
00:33:16It's fine.
00:33:17We're heading the same way.
00:33:18Just this once won't hurt.
00:33:22Bella never acts this rudely or raises her voice like this.
00:33:24James,
00:33:30if Sister Manny insists on divorcing you,
00:33:33will you agree?
00:33:35That won't happen.
00:33:37Manny Shaw lost her parents ten years ago.
00:33:39Where could she go without me?
00:33:40You two must get divorced.
00:33:44Hello, Dad?
00:33:44James,
00:33:45do you know Logan Hall,
00:33:47a big shot?
00:33:50James,
00:33:51do you know Logan Hall,
00:33:52a big shot?
00:33:54Mr. Hall just had his assistant contact me.
00:33:56He's offering our Lopez family
00:33:57a ten billion yuan contract.
00:33:59If we sign this contract,
00:34:01we'll instantly rise to become
00:34:03top ten prestigious families
00:34:04in Southern Province.
00:34:05Really, Dad?
00:34:09I don't know, Mr. Hall.
00:34:10Why would he give us
00:34:11such a huge contract?
00:34:12His assistant mentioned
00:34:13it's because our family married
00:34:14an outstanding daughter-in-law.
00:34:16Son,
00:34:17this heaven-sent opportunity,
00:34:18we must seize it.
00:34:19I'll find out right now
00:34:20where Mr. Hall is.
00:34:21Send someone to receive him immediately.
00:34:23Make sure you treat him
00:34:24with utmost respect.
00:34:25Got it.
00:34:26Don't worry, Dad.
00:34:27I won't dare be rude to Mr. Hall.
00:34:30Fantastic.
00:34:31If our family secures
00:34:32this billion-dollar contract,
00:34:34our status in Sea City
00:34:35will skyrocket.
00:34:36But who's helping us?
00:34:39Daughter-in-law?
00:34:41Could it be...
00:34:43James?
00:34:44When I was overseas,
00:34:45I had the honor of dining
00:34:46with Mr. Hall.
00:34:47I casually mentioned
00:34:48Lopez family from Sea City.
00:34:50Never thought he'd mistake me
00:34:51for the Lopez family's
00:34:52daughter-in-law.
00:34:54Sister Manny,
00:34:55she won't get mad, right?
00:34:56Serena,
00:34:57you're our family's savior.
00:34:59As for Manny Shaw,
00:35:00she's just a housewife
00:35:00who cooks and cleans.
00:35:02What's she ever done
00:35:03for our family?
00:35:03She has no right to complain.
00:35:05This billion-dollar deal
00:35:09couldn't possibly come
00:35:10from Manny Shaw.
00:35:11Even if I claim credit,
00:35:12nobody will know.
00:35:14Manny Shaw,
00:35:15I'm the Lopez family's
00:35:16benefactor now.
00:35:18How could you possibly
00:35:19compete with me
00:35:19for this position?
00:35:28Manny Shaw,
00:35:28take the child
00:35:29to the emergency
00:35:29surgery department first.
00:35:30I'll handle the registration.
00:35:32Thank you, Cal Perry.
00:35:33Across the way.
00:35:40Go make the payment first.
00:35:41Such a deep wound,
00:35:42you'll need a tetanus shot.
00:35:49Doctor,
00:35:50how much will it cost?
00:35:52Around 1,000 yuan.
00:35:53Doctor,
00:36:02could you clean
00:36:02the wound first?
00:36:03I'll go borrow money.
00:36:05This.
00:36:08Dustin.
00:36:12Dustin,
00:36:12you tend to the child's wound.
00:36:13I'll go pay.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:16Let's go.
00:36:19Wait for Mom.
00:36:20Kale Perry,
00:36:23thank you for today.
00:36:24If it weren't for you,
00:36:25I wouldn't have known
00:36:25what to do.
00:36:27No need to be so formal.
00:36:28Next month,
00:36:28I'll pay you back for sure.
00:36:32Manny Shaw,
00:36:33why the formality?
00:36:35Mr. Lopez
00:36:36sure dotes on his son.
00:36:37Chisk!
00:36:38This dog gets better care
00:36:39than people.
00:36:40Last time,
00:36:40Mr. Lopez brought his son
00:36:42and this dog for checkups.
00:36:43Spent tens of thousands.
00:36:45Exactly!
00:36:45This is a hospital
00:36:46for humans now.
00:36:47Mr. Lopez has turned it
00:36:48into a pet clinic.
00:36:49He's one of our
00:36:50hospital's investors.
00:36:51Mr. Lopez.
00:36:51I know.
00:36:53He's also my husband.
00:36:54Mr. Lopez is your husband?
00:36:58Mr. Lopez is your husband!
00:37:01How could you?
00:37:02I can't even cover
00:37:03one thousand you
00:37:04in medical bill
00:37:04of my daughter.
00:37:06Yet he'll spend
00:37:06tens of thousands
00:37:07on medical checkups
00:37:08for someone else's dog.
00:37:10Pathetic, isn't it?
00:37:16Manny.
00:37:17You're not the issue.
00:37:18He doesn't value
00:37:19what he has.
00:37:24The department called.
00:37:26I've wired you the money.
00:37:27I'll come find you later.
00:37:34Manny Shaw.
00:37:40I'm just accompanying
00:37:41Zach to the hospital.
00:37:42Was smoking me
00:37:43really necessary?
00:37:45You're overthinking.
00:37:48Where's Bella?
00:37:49You left her alone
00:37:50on the street?
00:37:51James Lopez.
00:37:52I'm not like you.
00:37:53I won't abandon
00:37:54my family over
00:37:55some stray animal
00:37:56and leave them stranded.
00:37:57Stray animal?
00:38:00Manny Shaw.
00:38:01Are you really petty enough
00:38:02to take it out on a dog?
00:38:03I said I'd go back for her.
00:38:05Do you even care about her?
00:38:07Enough!
00:38:07Stop using the kid
00:38:08as an excuse.
00:38:09Now you're resorting
00:38:10to divorce threats
00:38:11and walk out
00:38:11to these manipulative games
00:38:12just to control me?
00:38:13All this drama
00:38:14just to force me
00:38:14to abandon Serena
00:38:15and her child?
00:38:17Last time I'll say this.
00:38:18I helped them out of pity.
00:38:19She's struggling
00:38:19as a single mother.
00:38:20Nothing improper happened.
00:38:22I've given you chances
00:38:23to save face.
00:38:24Don't push your luck.
00:38:26James Lopez.
00:38:26James Lopez.
00:38:27Your chances mean nothing.
00:38:28Do you think I want them?
00:38:30I don't need your charity.
00:38:31Manny Shaw.
00:38:32Don't mistake kindness
00:38:33for weakness.
00:38:33I can't afford
00:38:37our own child's
00:38:37basic medical care.
00:38:39I don't care about
00:38:39your romantic escapades.
00:38:41Mr. Lopez.
00:38:42End your impoverished charade.
00:38:44Just let us go.
00:38:46We can't keep up
00:38:46with your mind games.
00:38:56You found out everything.
00:39:00Are you a rich man?
00:39:01I couldn't care less
00:39:02about the divorce papers.
00:39:03Make up your mind.
00:39:04Sign them.
00:39:05Let's end this civilly.
00:39:06I was wrong to hide it.
00:39:08But I wanted to tell you
00:39:09there just wasn't
00:39:10a right time.
00:39:11Ten years.
00:39:12Ten years by your side
00:39:13couldn't earn me
00:39:14one moment of honesty?
00:39:15In all these years
00:39:16haven't you adapted
00:39:17to our poor life?
00:39:18You married me
00:39:18knowing I wasn't rich.
00:39:19I hid my identity
00:39:20to be with you.
00:39:21If I told you suddenly
00:39:22that I'm CEO of Lopez Group
00:39:23could you handle that?
00:39:24James Lopez.
00:39:27Sharing hardships with you
00:39:28doesn't mean I deserve
00:39:28permanent poverty.
00:39:30Fine, fine.
00:39:32I'll make it up to you both.
00:39:33Satisfied?
00:39:33Don't bother.
00:39:36For ten years
00:39:38I've struggled endlessly
00:39:39with financial burdens.
00:39:40I've struggled with
00:39:41water bills,
00:39:42electricity,
00:39:43living costs,
00:39:44our daughter's tutors.
00:39:45They crushed me
00:39:46beyond breath.
00:39:47Through it all
00:39:48I never asked you
00:39:49for money.
00:39:49But you,
00:39:50giving Serena Olsen
00:39:51100,000 monthly,
00:39:52do you think
00:39:53money fixes this?
00:39:54Enough, Manny Shaw.
00:39:55Your father left you
00:39:56because your mom nagged.
00:39:57That's why he left.
00:39:58Without me marrying you,
00:39:59you'd still be...
00:40:00James Lopez!
00:40:01How dare you insult my parents!
00:40:02My parents!
00:40:03Am I wrong?
00:40:04Yes!
00:40:04I made mistakes!
00:40:05I'll change!
00:40:06Must you push so hard?
00:40:08James Lopez!
00:40:10Understand this.
00:40:11I'm not joking.
00:40:12This divorce is real.
00:40:13Manny Shaw,
00:40:16you knew my true status
00:40:18but kept pretending
00:40:19you wanted this outcome.
00:40:20If I divorce you,
00:40:21your schemes will fail.
00:40:23So,
00:40:23don't overplay this
00:40:24if I actually agree.
00:40:26James Lopez,
00:40:28keep your money.
00:40:28I don't want a single penny
00:40:29from you.
00:40:30I just want my daughter.
00:40:32You're serious,
00:40:33Manny Shaw?
00:40:35Right me.
00:40:37I'm serious.
00:40:38I want a divorce.
00:40:39Manny Shaw,
00:40:43if you go through
00:40:44with this divorce,
00:40:45don't you dare regret it.
00:40:46I won't!
00:40:48Bella's waiting
00:40:49for me in the ward.
00:40:50Go tend to your lover's dog.
00:40:57Dad,
00:40:57I'm hungry.
00:40:58Ask your mom.
00:40:59I'm busy.
00:41:00Mom,
00:41:01isn't it Bella
00:41:02took Daddy Lopez away
00:41:03if he doesn't love us anymore?
00:41:05Manny Shaw,
00:41:06you put this on yourself.
00:41:09Mom,
00:41:10I'm sorry.
00:41:10If I hadn't gone to the park,
00:41:12I wouldn't have gotten hurt
00:41:13or missed the bus.
00:41:14It's okay!
00:41:16Bella,
00:41:17Daddy is here to see you.
00:41:21James Lopez!
00:41:22My daughter's allergic to pollen.
00:41:24Did you forget?
00:41:26It slipped my mind.
00:41:27You just don't care!
00:41:31Bella,
00:41:32Daddy didn't realize
00:41:34how badly you were hurt.
00:41:35I contacted the chief physician.
00:41:37He'll be here soon
00:41:38to re-examine you.
00:41:39No need.
00:41:41Uncle Allison already checked me.
00:41:43Bella,
00:41:43I've neglected you before.
00:41:45I swear,
00:41:45I'll make more time
00:41:46to be with you.
00:41:47Oh, right.
00:41:48It's your birthday today.
00:41:49What birthday gift do you want?
00:41:50I'll buy you anything.
00:41:51The best.
00:41:51The most expensive ones.
00:41:53Thank you, Uncle.
00:41:53I don't want anything.
00:41:55Uncle?
00:41:56Don't you remember?
00:41:56You wanted to be
00:41:57Zach Olsen's daddy
00:41:58and made me call you Uncle.
00:42:03Dad.
00:42:03Bella.
00:42:04I'll be here to Zach's father.
00:42:07I'll be here to Zach's father.
00:42:10To avoid misunderstandings
00:42:12that could hurt Zach,
00:42:13you should call me Uncle.
00:42:16That day was an exception.
00:42:18It's fine, Uncle.
00:42:19Mom and I are leaving anyway.
00:42:21The severance agreement
00:42:21can be my farewell gift.
00:42:23I'll have a new dad soon.
00:42:24You can be Zach's daddy.
00:42:26Well, Bella,
00:42:26what are you saying?
00:42:27I'm letting you go.
00:42:30Go be a father to Zach Olsen.
00:42:32I don't need you anymore.
00:42:39Maddy Shaw.
00:42:41You're the one
00:42:41who taught Bella these things.
00:42:43Look at what you've been
00:42:43putting in her head.
00:42:44My sweet daughter,
00:42:45how could you turn her into this?
00:42:46Mom never taught me
00:42:47to say these things.
00:42:48I'm in elementary school now.
00:42:50I understand everything.
00:42:51You never loved me
00:42:52or Mom either.
00:42:57Dad, I got a hundred
00:43:00on my test today.
00:43:01The teacher needs
00:43:02a parent's signature.
00:43:03Zach, don't lie.
00:43:04Hush now, Zach.
00:43:05Daddy's here.
00:43:06Tell me what's bothering you.
00:43:07Ah.
00:43:13No.
00:43:14Bella, let me explain.
00:43:18Uncle, go find Zach Olsen.
00:43:20I don't need you.
00:43:21Bella, Dad cares about Zach
00:43:23out of pity.
00:43:23He lost his father as a child.
00:43:25So he gets to steal mine?
00:43:27Uncle, I know
00:43:29you don't love me.
00:43:30I used Mom's phone
00:43:31to send you so many messages.
00:43:32You never replied.
00:43:34But it doesn't matter anymore.
00:43:37W-what messages?
00:43:46You always said
00:43:47you had no money before.
00:43:49Mom had to work
00:43:49multiple part-time jobs
00:43:51and worked until her back hurt.
00:43:52It broke my heart
00:43:53to see her like that.
00:43:54So I collected bottles
00:43:55to help her earn money.
00:43:56But Uncle,
00:43:57why did you tell us
00:43:58you were poor?
00:43:59You can reserve
00:44:00the entire restaurant
00:44:01to treat Zach Olsen
00:44:02to Western food.
00:44:03Why did you lie to us?
00:44:06So Bella saw
00:44:07everything that day.
00:44:08I'm sorry, Bella.
00:44:09Daddy made mistakes before.
00:44:10If you want Western food,
00:44:11I'll call right now
00:44:12to have them deliver it here.
00:44:13And I'll get you
00:44:14your favorite strawberry cake.
00:44:15Please forgive Daddy
00:44:15one more time.
00:44:17I've already given you chances.
00:44:20What?
00:44:21Last time
00:44:22you promised to come
00:44:23camping with me.
00:44:23I was so happy.
00:44:28Daddy!
00:44:32Even though
00:44:33you only went
00:44:34for Zach Olsen,
00:44:35but just seeing you there
00:44:36made me feel so blessed.
00:44:38But I didn't lie
00:44:39and never stole money.
00:44:41Zach Olsen
00:44:42was the one bullying me.
00:44:44Why do you believe
00:44:44everything he says?
00:44:46Bella Lopez,
00:44:47apologize.
00:44:49Apologize now.
00:44:50I'm sorry.
00:44:53Mom,
00:44:54I don't want to talk anymore.
00:44:55I want to leave the hospital.
00:44:57Let's go.
00:44:58You're not leaving.
00:45:00Manny, sure.
00:45:00Bella is my daughter, too.
00:45:01You can't take her away.
00:45:02You seem to have forgotten,
00:45:03Mr. Lopez.
00:45:04You said it yourself.
00:45:05Zach Olsen
00:45:06is your precious son.
00:45:07Our Bella
00:45:08has nothing to do with you.
00:45:10Go!
00:45:11Get out!
00:45:14Leave!
00:45:15Leave!
00:45:15Leave!
00:45:23Mom cooked your favorite
00:45:29braised pork today.
00:45:30When will you come home?
00:45:31I want to wait for Daddy
00:45:32so we can eat together.
00:45:37I got full marks
00:45:38on the test again today.
00:45:40Teacher said I'm smart.
00:45:42When does Daddy get off work?
00:45:44I haven't seen you
00:45:45for three days.
00:45:46Can Bella and Mom
00:45:47come pick you up from work?
00:45:49Does Daddy not love me?
00:45:51Why do you never reply
00:45:52to my messages?
00:45:54Daddy, there's a school
00:45:55camping trip tomorrow.
00:45:57Daddy, can you
00:45:58come with me?
00:46:00Daddy, you really came.
00:46:01Bella is so happy.
00:46:03Bella?
00:46:10Mom, will we make
00:46:11the high-speed train?
00:46:13I'll book new tickets
00:46:14and we'll leave tonight.
00:46:15Is that okay?
00:46:22Bella Lopez.
00:46:23I was wrong before.
00:46:24I rented a wheelchair
00:46:25for you.
00:46:26You should use it.
00:46:27I won't.
00:46:28Come on, just try it.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:37Bella, how can you
00:46:38be this naive?
00:46:39You act-
00:46:40This is outrageous.
00:46:42Apologize to Bella now.
00:46:46Zack!
00:46:46She hit me!
00:46:48Sister Manny,
00:46:49Zack's just a child.
00:46:50If he's done anything wrong,
00:46:52I'll apologize for him.
00:46:53But you can't lay
00:46:53hands on him.
00:46:55Manny Shaw,
00:46:55you're heartless.
00:46:56How dare you harm a child?
00:46:57James Lopez,
00:46:58are you blind?
00:46:59Can't you see
00:46:59you bullied Bella first?
00:47:00Enough!
00:47:01Stop embarrassing yourself here.
00:47:03Serena,
00:47:04I just received word
00:47:04Mr. Hall has arrived
00:47:05at the hospital.
00:47:07Zack and I will
00:47:07greet him with you.
00:47:10Manny Shaw,
00:47:10I'm about to welcome
00:47:11someone who will
00:47:12elevate the Lopez family.
00:47:13He thinks Serena
00:47:14is my wife.
00:47:15When you see us later,
00:47:16pretend you don't know us.
00:47:17Manny Shaw,
00:47:21once I secure
00:47:22the multi-billion dollar
00:47:23contract for Lopez Group,
00:47:24the position of
00:47:25Lopez family's
00:47:25daughter-in-law
00:47:26will be mine.
00:47:27As for your lowly status,
00:47:29you and your daughter
00:47:30can go back
00:47:31to scraping by.
00:47:32Serena Olsen,
00:47:33don't push it.
00:47:36Ah, hey!
00:47:37James!
00:47:39Manny Shaw,
00:47:40you've gone too far
00:47:41this time.
00:47:41I warned you,

00:47:43holds Lopez Group's
00:47:44future in his hands,
00:47:45yet you're here
00:47:45making a scene.
00:47:46A crude,
00:47:47brainless woman
00:47:47like you
00:47:48could never compare
00:47:48to Serena.
00:47:50What are you doing?
00:47:56What's going on here?
00:47:59What are you doing?
00:48:06You-
00:48:06Are you okay?
00:48:08I'm fine.
00:48:10Mind your own business.
00:48:12Who are you?
00:48:14Why are you bullying them?
00:48:15Old man,
00:48:16this is our family matter.
00:48:17It's none of your business.
00:48:19Family matters?
00:48:20Are you from the Lopez family?
00:48:21And who might you be?
00:48:22Who I am doesn't concern you.
00:48:24They're your wife and child.
00:48:26How dare you treat them like this?
00:48:28Old man,
00:48:29what are you,
00:48:29the neighborhood busybody?
00:48:30Why do you care about
00:48:31other people's business?
00:48:32Got too much time on your hands?
00:48:34You old geezer,
00:48:35watch your mouth
00:48:35or I'll hit you!
00:48:36How dare you speak to me like that?
00:48:38Do you have any idea who he is?
00:48:40Never mind who I am.
00:48:41I'll ask you one thing.
00:48:42Why are you treating
00:48:42this mother and child so badly?
00:48:43Why are you treating this mother and child so badly?
00:48:46I need to go greet our important guest.
00:48:51I don't have time for this nonsense.
00:48:53If you make us late to receive Mr. Hall,
00:48:55you three couldn't pay with ten lives.
00:48:56Sir,
00:49:00please let it go.
00:49:03Young lady,
00:49:04the Lopez family is powerful in Sea City.
00:49:06You're their daughter-in-law.
00:49:07How could this-
00:49:08It's a long story.
00:49:09Thank you both.
00:49:11We should get going.
00:49:12Notify everyone.
00:49:13Cancel all cooperation with the Lopez family.
00:49:15This billion dollar contract,
00:49:16the Lopez-
00:49:17aren't worthy of it.
00:49:20Yes.
00:49:21The Lopez family secured that multi-billion contract
00:49:23all thanks to Ms. Shaw.
00:49:24They dare to bully Ms. Shaw?
00:49:25You-
00:49:27Who are you people?
00:49:28What are you talking about?
00:49:30Grandpa!
00:49:31They bullied Mom!
00:49:32Are you here to help us get revenge?
00:49:34Exactly.
00:49:36No one bullies you.
00:49:36Grandpa will handle this.
00:49:40Manny,
00:49:40I'm your father's old friend.
00:49:42Let's continue this elsewhere.
00:49:44Let's go.
00:49:44Okay.
00:49:45Okay.
00:49:51Hey, Serena.
00:49:51You know old Mr. Hall?
00:49:52Did you see them go in?
00:49:54No.
00:49:54Mr. Hall should have arrived by now.
00:49:58Where is he?
00:50:05Who's that old man anyway?
00:50:07Why is he so nice to Manny Shaw?
00:50:11No one.
00:50:14What are you staring at, Serena?
00:50:16It's nothing.
00:50:17Oh.
00:50:18You have Mr. Hall's contact info, right?
00:50:20Call them and check their location.
00:50:21My phone just died.
00:50:26How come it's such a coincidence?
00:50:27Where could Mr. Hall be?
00:50:29Mom, I'm hungry.
00:50:30I want a burger.
00:50:32Be good.
00:50:32We'll get food soon.
00:50:33No, no.
00:50:34I want it now.
00:50:36Compared to Bella,
00:50:37Zack Olsen is way too loud.
00:50:38Just take him already.
00:50:39I'll wait here.
00:50:39Dad?
00:50:47James Lopez!
00:50:48What did you do to anger Mr. Hall?
00:50:50He cancelled the deal!
00:50:51What?
00:50:53Sit, Manny.
00:50:57You know me?
00:51:03This is my business card.
00:51:04National Academy of Sciences?
00:51:09Your Uncle Hall?
00:51:11Dad spoke of you often.
00:51:13Oh, 20 years ago.
00:51:14I even held you as a baby.
00:51:16I remember when you were born.
00:51:18Jason joked back then.
00:51:19Talked about a betrothal between our families.
00:51:22Dad was always busy when he was alive.
00:51:24Rarely came home.
00:51:25But we never knew what kept him occupied.
00:51:27Even Mom didn't know.
00:51:29Soon after Dad passed,
00:51:31Mom succumbed to depression.
00:51:32Your father was a scientist.
00:51:37Ten years ago,
00:51:38the lab exploded.
00:51:39He shielded the specimens
00:51:40at the cost of his life.
00:51:42Now,
00:51:43the research has finally borne fruit.
00:51:45Your father is posthumously honored
00:51:46as a national hero.
00:51:47I'll fulfill his final wish.
00:51:49Take good care of you.
00:51:51Manny,
00:51:52Uncle will support you from now on.
00:51:53The Hall family
00:51:54is your true family now.
00:51:59Half of the Hall family's honor
00:52:00belongs to your father.
00:52:02I've come too late.
00:52:05You've suffered needlessly.
00:52:07Not at all.
00:52:09Manny,
00:52:09what if I asked
00:52:10to make you my goddaughter?
00:52:12Would you accept?
00:52:14Uncle Hall,
00:52:15I'm unworthy.
00:52:17You're more than worthy.
00:52:19I should have done this a decade ago.
00:52:20Mr. Hall,
00:52:28Henry Lopez,
00:52:29head of the Lopez family,
00:52:30requests an audience.
00:52:32He let James Lopez
00:52:33bully Manny.
00:52:34Still expects our contract
00:52:35in your dreams.
00:52:37Uncle Hall,
00:52:38you were the one
00:52:38who gave Lopez the contract?
00:52:40Originally,
00:52:41yes.
00:52:42I believe
00:52:42they treated you well.
00:52:44This project was meant
00:52:45as gratitude for their care.
00:52:46But now,
00:52:47after learning the truth,
00:52:49they'll get nothing.
00:52:50How dare they abuse you both!
00:52:53James Lopez
00:52:53has deceived me for years.
00:52:55Ten years of marriage,
00:52:56yet never accepted
00:52:57by his family.
00:52:59Bella
00:52:59isn't in their family registry.
00:53:02We've been alone
00:53:02in Sea City
00:53:03with no support.
00:53:07Outrageous!
00:53:08Dispatch a team
00:53:09from capital
00:53:09to Sea City.
00:53:11I'll take over
00:53:11the Lopez group.
00:53:13Yes, sir.
00:53:14Yes, sir.
00:53:16What?
00:53:26Dad,
00:53:26what on earth
00:53:27is going on?
00:53:27Why didn't I see
00:53:28Mr. Hall?
00:53:29James Lopez!
00:53:30What exactly
00:53:31have you done
00:53:32to your wife and child?
00:53:35Wife and child?
00:53:36Dad,
00:53:36what are you talking about?
00:53:38Didn't Serena Olsen
00:53:38get this contract
00:53:39for our family?
00:53:40I haven't mistreated
00:53:41Serena Olsen and her son.
00:53:42Serena Olsen?
00:53:43She knows Mr. Hall?
00:53:45Yeah.
00:53:46Serena said
00:53:46that when she was abroad
00:53:47she had the honor
00:53:47of meeting Mr. Hall.
00:53:49She even mentioned
00:53:49the Lopez family to him.
00:53:51That's why Mr. Hall
00:53:52gave this $10 billion
00:53:52contract to us.
00:53:54But Mr. Hall's assistant
00:53:55said this $10 billion
00:53:56contract is because
00:53:57our daughter-in-law
00:53:57fought for it
00:53:58for the Lopez family,
00:53:59not because of Manny Shaw.
00:54:02Manny Shaw has no parents,
00:54:03no backing.
00:54:03How could she know
00:54:04such important people?
00:54:05Mr. Hall might have
00:54:06misunderstood because
00:54:07Serena once posted
00:54:08a photo of us
00:54:08on social media.
00:54:10She's an influencer.
00:54:11Her fans all thought
00:54:12we were a couple.
00:54:13You're confused.
00:54:16You have a wife
00:54:17and children
00:54:17and you're still
00:54:18being ambiguous
00:54:19with others.
00:54:20Have you forgotten
00:54:20how Serena Olsen
00:54:22abandoned you
00:54:23and went abroad?
00:54:25But,
00:54:26Dad,
00:54:26if our family wants
00:54:27to secure this $10 billion
00:54:28contract,
00:54:29we still have to
00:54:29rely on her.
00:54:33After the contract
00:54:34is signed,
00:54:35immediately break off
00:54:36relations with Serena Olsen.
00:54:37Bring Manny Shaw
00:54:38and Bella back
00:54:38to recognize
00:54:39their ancestors.
00:54:40Okay, good.
00:54:42I heard Mr. Hall
00:54:43likes cultural relics
00:54:44and jade.
00:54:45Three years ago
00:54:46at an auction,
00:54:46I bought a piece
00:54:47worth $30 million
00:54:48white jade.
00:54:49Go get ready
00:54:50and bring it
00:54:51when you visit Mr. Hall.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:54Wait.
00:54:55I just received news.
00:54:56There's a mysterious force
00:54:57in the black market
00:54:58that's buying up
00:54:59the Lopez Group's
00:55:00scattered shares.
00:55:01I have a faint feeling
00:55:02of unease.
00:55:03James,
00:55:05the Lopez Group
00:55:06is now facing
00:55:06internal and external
00:55:07troubles.
00:55:07Whether we decline
00:55:09in the future
00:55:09or rise
00:55:10depends on this contract.
00:55:12Yeah.
00:55:13Go.
00:55:22Take off your shoes!
00:55:24Auntie Nancy,
00:55:25didn't you know
00:55:26we're moving in today?
00:55:28Everything in this house
00:55:29will belong to my son soon.
00:55:31James can just
00:55:31replace it later.
00:55:32Little kid,
00:55:37be careful with that.
00:55:39This model is
00:55:39Mr. Lopez's favorite.
00:55:41He spent three days
00:55:41assembling it.
00:55:56It's broken!
00:55:59Mr. Lopez will be furious!
00:56:01It's just some cheap toy.
00:56:02How much could it
00:56:02possibly cost?
00:56:04When James returns,
00:56:05we'll get him a replacement.
00:56:10Oh, my little ancestor!
00:56:12These belong to Young Miss.
00:56:13Mr. Lopez told us
00:56:14to store them properly.
00:56:16It's all trash!
00:56:17Take these boxes!
00:56:23I spilled them out!
00:56:25What?
00:56:25Auntie Nancy!
00:56:27I'm the lady
00:56:28of this house now!
00:56:29I said get rid
00:56:30of this junk!
00:56:37Auntie Nancy!
00:56:39Who made this mess?
00:56:40This...
00:56:40This is...
00:56:47Auntie Nancy!
00:56:49Didn't I say
00:56:49no one should
00:56:49touch my things?
00:56:51Who did this?
00:56:53It was Miss Olsen's son!
00:56:54I did warn him,
00:56:56but he wouldn't listen!
00:56:57And the things
00:56:58you asked us to tidy,
00:56:59Madam and the
00:57:00Young Misses' belongings,
00:57:01were all messed up too!
00:57:11Daddy, you really came!
00:57:12Bella's so happy!
00:57:14Mm-hmm.
00:57:15Daddy, come with me!
00:57:16I'll take you
00:57:17to a secret hideout!
00:57:18It's super fun here!
00:57:25James!
00:57:26Zach was just
00:57:27being too playful!
00:57:28That's why
00:57:28he made a mess here!
00:57:29I'll get someone
00:57:30right away
00:57:30to clean it up, okay?
00:57:32Forget it!
00:57:35Auntie Nancy,
00:57:36there's a jade
00:57:37on the shelf in my study!
00:57:38Pack it carefully!
00:57:38I need it immediately!
00:57:40Yes, sir!
00:57:43Sir!
00:57:45There seems to be
00:57:46a noise coming
00:57:47from your study!
00:57:57Mom,
00:57:57look at my drawing!
00:57:58Do you like it?
00:58:03That's awesome!
00:58:05Dad,
00:58:05did I do something wrong?
00:58:06Why did you break it?
00:58:08It was an accident!
00:58:10It's just a decorative piece!
00:58:11What's the big deal?
00:58:11James,
00:58:15how much does this cost?
00:58:17I'll pay for it!
00:58:19Pay?
00:58:20Thirty million!
00:58:21Can you afford that?
00:58:27I know it's
00:58:28Jade Restoration, Master!
00:58:30Maybe we can fix it!
00:58:33Serena Olsen,
00:58:33this is your precious son!
00:58:35How dare you
00:58:36hit my mom!
00:58:37I'll beat you to death!
00:58:37Beat you to death!
00:58:38I'll beat you to death!
00:58:41James!
00:58:43Zach,
00:58:44he's just a child!
00:58:44Don't be angry, okay?
00:58:46Get out!
00:58:51If it were Bella,
00:58:53she would never have made
00:58:54such a mess here.
00:58:55Hello,
00:59:00the number you dialed
00:59:00is currently unavailable.
00:59:07Auntie Nancy,
00:59:08could you make me
00:59:09some herbal tea?
00:59:10Would you prefer
00:59:11chrysanthemum
00:59:11or green tea, sir?
00:59:13The usual one I drink.
00:59:15The one you often
00:59:16bring back
00:59:16in your travel mug.
00:59:18Madame brewed it herself.
00:59:20I don't know the recipe.
00:59:21I don't know the recipe.
00:59:25I don't know the recipe.
00:59:32Ahem, James.
00:59:33You're irritable.
00:59:34This detox tea's for you.
00:59:35If you run out,
00:59:36just ask and I'll deliver more.
00:59:44Sir,
00:59:45Madame and the young
00:59:46Miss's belongings,
00:59:47should we really
00:59:48throw them away?
00:59:49Who said anything
00:59:49about throwing them away?
00:59:51It was Miss Olsen.
00:59:52She insists on moving in
00:59:53and becoming
00:59:54the mistress of this house.
00:59:56She claims Madame
00:59:56and the young Miss's
00:59:57belongings are trash
00:59:58to be disposed of.
00:59:59She ordered me
00:59:59to clear everything.
01:00:03Never again open the door
01:00:04for Serena Olsen
01:00:05or her son.
01:00:06Ban them from entering.
01:00:08No one touches
01:00:08my wife and daughter's things.
01:00:10I'll organize them myself.
01:00:12They'll move back in soon.
01:00:14Understood, sir.
01:00:15This decision
01:00:16is long overdue.
01:00:19What?
01:00:19Auntie Nancy.
01:00:23You've never met
01:00:24Manny Shaw.
01:00:24Why are you defending her?
01:00:26Though I've never
01:00:27met your wife,
01:00:28I can sense her devotion
01:00:29to you.
01:00:29When you come home each day,
01:00:31your clothes may be worn,
01:00:32but they're always
01:00:33neatly prepped
01:00:34and spotlessly clean.
01:00:35You say she's busy
01:00:36with work,
01:00:37raising the child
01:00:37and tending to your
01:00:38every need.
01:00:40She's truly remarkable.
01:00:41Here.
01:00:48You must be hungry
01:00:49this late.
01:00:50Let me make you noodles.
01:00:52What's this?
01:00:54Ah!
01:00:55It's my co-worker's
01:00:56daughter outgrew them.
01:00:57They don't fit her anymore.
01:00:58They look nearly new.
01:01:00I altered them
01:01:00for Bella to wear.
01:01:02Old clothes.
01:01:03Don't bother Yow Yow.
01:01:05She doesn't mind.
01:01:07She's used to wearing
01:01:07second-hand clothes.
01:01:09Enough now.
01:01:10You've worked hard all day.
01:01:11No rest.
01:01:12I'll make the noodles.
01:01:15Look at Miss Olsen's
01:01:16fancy outfits.
01:01:17She's not wife material.
01:01:19Madam is perfect for you.
01:01:21Don't do anything foolish
01:01:22to hurt her.
01:01:28Have I truly made a mistake?
01:01:32Manny Shaw.
01:01:34Bella,
01:01:34when will you come home?
01:01:38I have to go off.
01:01:59It's all decorated.
01:02:00Feel free to check it out.
01:02:02See if you like it.
01:02:02Ms. Shaw, Mr. Hall has official business today, so he couldn't accompany you to view the property.
01:02:14If there's anything you'd like to modify, just let me know.
01:02:17Assistant Tyler, Ms. Miller is too extravagant. I can't accept it.
01:02:21The deed has been transferred to your name. This is Mr. Hall's kindness. Please accept it.
01:02:25Fine.
01:02:26Mr. Hall wanted you to know you're the youngest daughter of the Hall family. All these are rightfully yours.
01:02:32All right.
01:02:36Feel free to use the money in this card. Mr. Hall will deposit monthly funds into it regularly.
01:02:42Mr. Hall also wanted me to tell you tomorrow he'll host a belated birthday party for Bella.
01:02:47During the banquet, he'll officially recognize you as his daughter.
01:02:50You have three elder brothers who are in politics, the military, and business.
01:02:54They're coming to Sea City tomorrow to support you.
01:02:57How can I deserve all this?
01:02:58Ms. Shaw, this is the recognition you deserved ten years ago.
01:03:02The injustices you've suffered, Mr. Hall will address them all tomorrow.
01:03:07I just want to cut ties with the Lopez family and divorce James Lopez.
01:03:15Mom, the room upstairs is so beautiful. So many dolls I like.
01:03:20Are these all really for me? Can I really live in such a big house?
01:03:24Of course. Our Bella will never have to suffer with Mom again.
01:03:29But Mom, being with you isn't hard at all. I love you most.
01:03:39Manny, where are you? Are you free for coffee?
01:03:41Sure, Senior. Send me the address. I'll be there soon.
01:03:44Assistant Tyler, could you please?
01:03:51Don't worry. I'll take good care of Bella. Let's go.
01:03:55Go ahead.
01:03:58Miss, let us take you to get dressed up.
01:04:04James Lopez, I've wasted ten years for you.
01:04:07All these years, I lost myself completely.
01:04:10Never spent a single penny on myself.
01:04:12But starting today, I'll live only for myself and Bella.
01:04:18The old Manny Shaw.
01:04:20Goodbye.
01:04:20Goodbye.
01:04:37Many.
01:04:44Camel, you look so different today. What happened?
01:04:47I've transferred the money I owed you. Please take it.
01:04:50You're too kind.
01:04:56After work that day, I tried to find you, but you weren't there.
01:04:59So I wanted to meet and ask about Bella.
01:05:01Bella's doing fine now.
01:05:03And you and your husband?
01:05:06We're getting a divorce.
01:05:07That's great.
01:05:10I mean, that kind of man isn't worth it.
01:05:21Manny, marry me.
01:05:28James, I heard that Mr. Hall's hosting a birthday party for his granddaughter tomorrow.
01:05:32We spent five million on a pink gemstone necklace for her.
01:05:36She'll love it.
01:05:37Manny Shaw?
01:05:44Manny Shaw?
01:05:48McHale, let's find someone else to talk.
01:05:50All right.
01:05:54Manny Shaw?
01:05:57Who's he?
01:05:58What's it to you?
01:05:59I'm your husband.
01:06:00Mr. Lopez, you should have signed the divorce papers.
01:06:03Since you've signed, you're now my ex-husband.
01:06:06You have no right to control me.
01:06:08No, I haven't signed them.
01:06:09Honey, I don't want a divorce.
01:06:11That's not your call.
01:06:12This divorce is happening whether you like it or not.
01:06:15Let's go.
01:06:17Fine.
01:06:20James Lopez, what are you doing?
01:06:21Is it because of him that you're divorcing me?
01:06:24No wonder you've changed your whole style.
01:06:26Is he bankrolling you?
01:06:27Who the hell is he?
01:06:28Is he richer than me?
01:06:36You bumped into me.
01:06:38Watch where you're going.
01:06:40Let go.
01:06:40You want to get beat up, kid?
01:06:43Touch my husband again and see what happens.
01:06:45Crazy woman.
01:06:46Manny used to protect me.
01:06:53Now she's hitting me for another man.
01:06:57No.
01:07:00James, my foot seems to be sprained.
01:07:05Manny, sure.
01:07:06You love me so much.
01:07:07I don't believe you'll really leave me.
01:07:16Oh, so annoying.
01:07:29Manny, since you've made up your mind to divorce him,
01:07:35would you consider giving me a chance?
01:07:37Manny, you remember today is our anniversary?
01:07:52Today is our wedding anniversary?
01:08:01Does this look good here?
01:08:03Whatever.
01:08:03Does it look good?
01:08:07You used to treasure every bouquet I bought,
01:08:11no matter how casually I chose them.
01:08:13Why would you just cast me aside so easily now?
01:08:21Dad, I got a hundred on my test today.
01:08:23The teacher needs a parent's signature.
01:08:25Don't cry, Zach.
01:08:26Daddy's here.
01:08:27Tell me what's bothering you.
01:08:31There, there, don't cry.
01:08:33I never realized how exceptional Bella is, Bella.
01:08:35Daddy will definitely bring you home.
01:08:47Serena, if you meet Mr. Hall later,
01:08:49make sure to speak up for the Lopez family.
01:08:51Put in a good word for us.
01:08:52A mysterious force has been targeting
01:08:54and suppressing the Lopez family recently.
01:08:55If I can't secure this 10 billion contract,
01:08:57Lopez Group is finished.
01:08:59Got it.
01:09:00But I don't even know what Mr. Hall looks like.
01:09:01How am I supposed to...
01:09:02Put in a good word?
01:09:04Mommy, I want to eat that big cake over there.
01:09:06Zach Olsen, behave yourself.
01:09:09If you see Mr. Hall's granddaughter later,
01:09:10butter her up properly.
01:09:11Ah, James.
01:09:12I'll keep an eye on Zach.
01:09:16Mommy will take you to get other yummy treats.
01:09:18Let's go.
01:09:20Excuse me, where should I register gifts?
01:09:22Sir, right this way.
01:09:23Gifts are registered here.
01:09:24Please place it for me.
01:09:25Okay.
01:09:28Little trash, how did you sneak in?
01:09:30Bella?
01:09:31Why are you here?
01:09:34Mom didn't invite you.
01:09:36Mom?
01:09:37Your mom's here too?
01:09:38Yeah.
01:09:39Mom's with Grandpa to welcome uncles.
01:09:40Grandpa?
01:09:41Uncles?
01:09:42Bella, your grandparents passed away 10 years ago.
01:09:43Your mom doesn't have any siblings.
01:09:45What are you talking about?
01:09:46James?
01:09:47Is it Sister Manny's new man's family?
01:09:49You're still legally married.
01:09:50She's already replacing you.
01:09:52Parading around with the kid.
01:09:55Bella, come here.
01:09:56Now.
01:09:57You should leave, Uncle.
01:09:58Mom doesn't want to see you.
01:10:00I don't want Mom to get upset.
01:10:03Bella, tell Daddy the truth.
01:10:05Who put these words in your head?
01:10:06Your mom or her new boyfriend?
01:10:08You're hurting me, Uncle.
01:10:09I'm your father.
01:10:12I'm sorry, Bella.
01:10:13Daddy didn't mean to.
01:10:13Are you okay?
01:10:14Don't touch me.
01:10:15I'm scared.
01:10:16James, Bella's never been in formal situations.
01:10:18If she messes this up and offends Mr. Hall...
01:10:21Be good, Bella.
01:10:22Come with Daddy first, okay?
01:10:23Come.
01:10:24Let me go.
01:10:24I won't leave.
01:10:25Bella, behave.
01:10:25Come with Daddy.
01:10:26What are you doing?
01:10:26Take your hands off her.
01:10:29What are you doing?
01:10:31Bella, are you okay?
01:10:32Uncle Tyler, I'm scared.
01:10:33Who are you?
01:10:34James, he's the guy who stood up for Sister Manny at the hospital.
01:10:38He is in league with that meddlesome old man.
01:10:40I don't care who you are.
01:10:42Disciplining my daughter is none of your business.
01:10:44Bella, come here.
01:10:47Grandfather prepared this birthday feast for me.
01:10:49I don't want to leave.
01:10:51You're lying.
01:10:51You don't have that much allowance.
01:10:53You collect scrap after school.
01:10:54Your mom's poor, too.
01:10:56How could this fancy party possibly be for you?
01:10:58Bella, didn't Dad tell you not to lie?
01:11:01Bella, tell me truthfully.
01:11:03Did this Uncle Tyler bring you in?
01:11:04Is he your mom's new boyfriend, too?
01:11:06You're evil.
01:11:07I won't talk to you.
01:11:08What's your relationship?
01:11:09You're not welcome here.
01:11:10Get out.
01:11:11Handsome, don't let Manny Shaw fool you.
01:11:12She's married.
01:11:13Not worth risking your job for her.
01:11:15Cross us and you'll lose your job.
01:11:16That would be bad.
01:11:19James Lopez, right?
01:11:21Miss Bella isn't lying.
01:11:22This birthday feast is indeed for her.
01:11:41Dad?
01:11:44You must be our little sister.
01:11:46I'm Owen Hall, the eldest brother.
01:11:47I'm Sean Hall, your second brother.
01:11:48And I'm Toby Hall, the third brother.
01:11:50Nice to meet you all, brothers.
01:11:52We heard some jerk's been messing with you.
01:11:53Give us his name.
01:11:54I will take care of him.
01:11:55Thanks, third brother.
01:11:56If he bothers me again, I'll call you for backup.
01:11:59Leave it to me.
01:12:00Where's Bella?
01:12:01Bella's getting hungry.
01:12:02She went to grab something in the banquet hall.
01:12:04Assistant Tyler is with her.
01:12:05Let's go, little sister.
01:12:06By the way, we got gifts for you and Bella.
01:12:07Can't wait to give them to you.
01:12:09It feels so good to have people watching my back.
01:12:12Let's move.
01:12:17Mom, when did Bella Lopez become a little princess?
01:12:19She's clearly just a little trash.
01:12:21Zach Olsen, Bella is my daughter.
01:12:23How dare you spout such nonsense, Bella?
01:12:25Tell Dad the truth.
01:12:25Who put this sign here?
01:12:26If the whole family finds out, there will be serious consequences.
01:12:29This was really Grandpa who arranged my birthday banquet.
01:12:32Dad, why do you always distrust me?
01:12:34You're lying and stealing.
01:12:36How dare you act righteous?
01:12:37I said I didn't do it.
01:12:39Bella Lopez.
01:12:40You won't listen, huh?
01:12:41I'm making you apologize.
01:12:43Zach's dad.
01:12:44This matter hasn't been fully investigated.
01:12:46Don't frighten the child yet.
01:12:48Wait for me.
01:12:48There's nothing to investigate.
01:12:49I can testify.
01:12:50Bella stole the money.
01:12:52Dad, why do you believe everything Zach Olsen says?
01:12:55But you never trust me.
01:12:57Bella, listen to Dad.
01:12:59First, let's move that sign outside.
01:13:00Wait outside for Dad.
01:13:02If you just obey Dad, I'll get you a brand new beautiful dress.
01:13:04Okay?
01:13:05No need.
01:13:05Have you forgotten?
01:13:06You're not my father anymore.
01:13:07I won't go with you.
01:13:08They say the Hall family is the most prominent in capital.
01:13:11Old Master Hall was dean of the National Academy.
01:13:13The eldest son runs Hall Corporation.
01:13:15The second son governs Southern Province.
01:13:17The third son fights on battlefields daily.
01:13:19He's been made Major General.
01:13:20The Hall family's influence is unmatched across nations.
01:13:23No one ever heard the Halls had a youngest daughter, nor imagined this daughter would bear
01:13:26the family a little princess.
01:13:27This princess has three uncles protecting her.
01:13:29That's truly formidable.
01:13:31James, the auspicious hour approaches.
01:13:33The old Master Hall enters and sees this mess.
01:13:35Get this sign out of here.
01:13:40You must come with me.
01:13:40Let go.
01:13:41Get away.
01:13:42I'm not leaving.
01:13:43Who dares bully my Bella?
01:13:57James Lopez, I expected your visit, but I never imagined you'd have the nerve to bully
01:14:02Bella so shamelessly.
01:14:03Manny Shaw, Bella is my daughter.
01:14:05How could I bully her?
01:14:06I'm teaching her not to lie.
01:14:08Sister Manny, I know you're anxious to prove you can thrive richer since leaving James,
01:14:12but teaching her to lie is unforgivable.
01:14:15How dare you hit me?
01:14:17First, you slandered my daughter.
01:14:19You scheming gold digger.
01:14:20Bullying a child, have you no shame?
01:14:22Second, I have no sister.
01:14:24Stop claiming kinship.
01:14:25You disgust me.
01:14:26Why does she look different?
01:14:29James, look!
01:14:31Honey, it's a misunderstanding.
01:14:32I just fear the Hall family.
01:14:33Who's your honey?
01:14:35Manny Shaw, what's your relationship with them?
01:14:41And why are you dressed like this?
01:14:43You never used to dress this way.
01:14:44James Lopez, you've crossed the line.
01:14:47Manny Shaw, I didn't sign the divorce papers.
01:14:49We're still legally married.
01:14:50Fine.
01:14:51Disagree?
01:14:51I'll beat some sense into you, scumbag.
01:14:54How dare you touch Manny?
01:14:55You're not worthy.
01:14:56Manny Shaw!
01:14:57You ganged up with your three mistresses to bully your own husband.
01:15:00Aren't you ashamed?
01:15:01The shameless ones are you two.
01:15:04Hypocrites bullying a child, yet you still have the nerve to live.
01:15:06We're the victims here.
01:15:07Why wouldn't I dare?
01:15:08You hit my mom, I'll kill you!
01:15:10Dad, Mom, she hit me!
01:15:13Shut up!
01:15:14Who's your father?
01:15:16Manny!
01:15:17I'm doing this for your own good.
01:15:18This is old Master Hall's birthday banquet for his granddaughter.
01:15:21The Hall family's influence is immense beyond our comprehension.
01:15:24You change the name to Bella's out of sheer vanity.
01:15:26This will bring disaster.
01:15:28Bella is today's star.
01:15:30The Hall family's princess.
01:15:31If she really is the princess of the Hall family, then her mother must be the youngest
01:15:37daughter of the Hall family.
01:15:39Manny Shaw!
01:15:40Where did you find these three idiots?
01:15:42How could you tell such a monstrous lie?
01:15:43If you offend the Hall family, even the Lopez family can't protect you.
01:15:46Idiots?
01:15:47Big brother, second brother.
01:15:49He dares to call us idiots?
01:15:50You three morons!
01:15:51If you know what's good for you, get the hell out now.
01:15:53That woman who hired you, she's just a trash collector.
01:15:56Normally.
01:15:57I'd never stoop to hitting a woman, but you're too damn loud.
01:15:59I heard you had quite the adventurous life abroad.
01:16:05Slept with three men in one night?
01:16:08Who's the father of this child?
01:16:09Probably don't even know, do you?
01:16:11Huh?
01:16:12No.
01:16:13This can't be real.
01:16:14James!
01:16:20James!
01:16:21James!
01:16:22Let go of my mom!
01:16:24James Lopez.
01:16:25She's being dragged away like this and you're still so calm.
01:16:27Could it be that all your past kindness to them was just an act?
01:16:30Manny Shaw.
01:16:32I know you came here out of jealousy, chasing me all this way.
01:16:35Now that the misunderstanding's cleared, I can't possibly be with Serena Olsen anymore.
01:16:38I'm begging you.
01:16:39Please come with me.
01:16:40After I secure this billion-dollar contract, we'll go home and live properly.
01:16:43Okay?
01:16:43Billion-dollar contract?
01:16:45Your Lopez family has bullied my little sister to such an extent,
01:16:47and you dare ask for the Hall family's contract?
01:16:49You made her collect trash and work as a cleaner?
01:16:53You must have a death wish.
01:16:55The Hall Corporation has already launched a takeover war against the Lopez family.
01:16:58In one day, no, half a day, there'll be no Lopez family left in Sea City.
01:17:05Uncles.
01:17:06After all, he's my father.
01:17:08You?
01:17:09Who exactly are you people?
01:17:10James Lopez.
01:17:11With all these facts before you, you still refuse to believe.
01:17:13You can't accept that the woman you once deceived, trampled on and looked down upon,
01:17:17is now the wealthy family you're trying to court.
01:17:19How is this possible?
01:17:21You...
01:17:21But you're a Shaw.
01:17:24Ahem.
01:17:25Because she's Logan Hall's daughter.
01:17:33Dad.
01:17:35Ten years ago, Manny Shaw's father died serving our country,
01:17:38and has been posthumously honoured as a national hero.
01:17:41His descendants will receive lifelong honours.
01:17:43I've decided to adopt Manny as my daughter.
01:17:45Starting today, Manny and Bella are officially members of the Hall family.
01:17:49James Lopez.
01:17:50Manny has no parents.
01:17:51For ten years, she's relied on you.
01:17:53And how did you treat her?
01:17:56You...
01:17:56You're that elderly man from the hospital.
01:17:58Correct!
01:17:59I did deliver a ten billion contract to the Lopez family to help you rise,
01:18:02but what I witnessed was how you treated Manny and her daughter.
01:18:06I wanted to skin you alive.
01:18:07James Lopez.
01:18:08You cherish that scheming woman while neglecting your own wife and child.
01:18:11You don't deserve to stand here or beg for forgiveness.
01:18:16Old Master Hall!
01:18:17Why are you standing there?
01:18:18Get him out!
01:18:19Yes!
01:18:21Manny!
01:18:21Manny!
01:18:22Let me go!
01:18:22Manny!
01:18:23Manny!
01:18:24Mom, I'm fine.
01:18:26Sweetheart, Uncle adores you.
01:18:30Scum!
01:18:31Get lost!
01:18:34James!
01:18:35What's going on here?
01:18:36That butch Manny Shaw!
01:18:37How did she become the Hall family's youngest daughter?
01:18:39How is she worthy of that?
01:18:40Yes!
01:18:41You're past me!
01:18:45You're the butch!
01:18:46If it weren't for you, how could I end up like this?
01:18:48Serena Olsen!
01:18:50Take your son and get lost now!
01:18:51Don't let me see you again!
01:18:57Son!
01:18:58The group is in trouble!
01:18:59You need to come back!
01:19:03Who are you?
01:19:04What are you doing?
01:19:05Mr. Lopez,
01:19:06the group's funding chain is broken.
01:19:08Someone reported discrepancies in the group's accounts.
01:19:10They're all from the audit team.
01:19:11The group's accounts were taken away entirely.
01:19:12Mr. Lopez,
01:19:13if the group can't hold on,
01:19:14what will we do?
01:19:15Exactly!
01:19:16What are we supposed to do?
01:19:16Mr. Lopez!
01:19:20You disgrace!
01:19:24Dad, outside!
01:19:26You disgrace!
01:19:27Why is the Hall family suddenly targeting our Lopez family?
01:19:30What exactly did you do to offend them?
01:19:32It's Manny Shaw!
01:19:33Mr. Hall and Manny Shaw's fathers were old friends!
01:19:36Mr. Hall returned to Sea City specifically for her.
01:19:38That Hall family's ten billion dollar order to us
01:19:40wasn't because of Serena Olsen,
01:19:42but because of Manny Shaw!
01:19:43You fool!
01:19:48You can't see the pearl!
01:19:49That wildflower from a rotten root,
01:19:50you treat like a treasure!
01:19:52Dad, I regret it now,
01:19:53but Manny Shaw won't forgive me.
01:19:54You deceived her for ten years!
01:19:56All these years,
01:19:57I repeatedly told you to bring them home
01:19:58and recognize their roots.
01:20:00But you refused.
01:20:01You were blinded by Serena Olsen.
01:20:02Now look!
01:20:03Karma's biting back!
01:20:05The Hall family targeting us is because of me.
01:20:07I wronged Manny Shaw.
01:20:09They're avenging her.
01:20:12Sir?
01:20:13Our Lopez family.
01:20:15He's doomed.
01:20:16Then I'll beg Manny Shaw for forgiveness again.
01:20:19Wait!
01:20:20I'll go with you.
01:20:21Fine.
01:20:32Bella!
01:20:33Hey!
01:20:34Unload everything from the car to Bella's room.
01:20:36Quickly.
01:20:43Thanks, Uncles!
01:20:48Mommy, I'm so happy, huh?
01:20:50Uncles are better to me than that man ever was!
01:20:52Bella, come here.
01:20:53Uncle will carry you.
01:20:55Oh, our Bella.
01:20:56From now on,
01:20:57we'll give you all the love.
01:20:58Our precious girl won't envy anyone else.
01:21:01Let's go.
01:21:02Darling!
01:21:05Bella!
01:21:05Darling, Bella!
01:21:11Wanna get beat again?
01:21:13Honey, Bella,
01:21:14I'm here to take you both home.
01:21:16Come home?
01:21:17Which home?
01:21:18Our rental?
01:21:19Or the Lopez family mansion?
01:21:21I'm sorry, honey.
01:21:22I know I messed up.
01:21:25Honey,
01:21:26since you and Bella left,
01:21:27my life has been empty.
01:21:29It's been a living hell.
01:21:30Losing you both made me realize
01:21:31how much I love you.
01:21:33Honey,
01:21:33please give me another chance.
01:21:34I'm begging you.
01:21:35Stop calling me that.
01:21:37Okay, I'll stop.
01:21:37Don't be angry.
01:21:40Bella,
01:21:41I've missed you so much.
01:21:42Come home with me, please.
01:21:43No!
01:21:44We've moved on and found new family.
01:21:46We don't need you anymore.
01:21:48Bella.
01:21:51Bella,
01:21:51it's Grandpa.
01:21:53I'm sorry it took so long to take you.
01:21:56Talk to your mother
01:21:56about coming home with Dad.
01:21:58Can you do that?
01:21:59I don't know you.
01:22:02Your father's mistakes will be addressed.
01:22:04I'll teach him a lesson.
01:22:07Manny,
01:22:07my son was wrong to hurt you.
01:22:10If destroying Lopez's group
01:22:11will ease your pain
01:22:11and let it burn,
01:22:14but I beg you to find it in your heart
01:22:16to give James another chance,
01:22:19Bella needs
01:22:19a father in her life.
01:22:22Henry Lopez,
01:22:23your failures as a father
01:22:24brought pain to Manny and Bella.
01:22:27Your company's downfall is well deserved.
01:22:31Big brother,
01:22:32let's go.
01:22:34Manny,
01:22:37I'm begging you.
01:22:42Mom?
01:22:44Eldest brother,
01:22:45second brother,
01:22:46third brother.
01:22:46Take Bella inside first.
01:22:48I need to speak with him alone.
01:22:50Manny,
01:22:50don't go far.
01:22:52Your brothers are watching inside.
01:22:53If he dares to hurt you again,
01:22:55I will end him myself.
01:22:56Get up.
01:23:00Not until you forgive me.
01:23:02Then I'm leaving.
01:23:03Wait, honey,
01:23:03don't go.
01:23:04Manny,
01:23:04the Lopez family has wronged you.
01:23:07I don't expect you to make the whole family spare us.
01:23:09I just hope
01:23:10you'll give James another chance.
01:23:12For Bella's sake.
01:23:13Enough!
01:23:14It's precisely for Bella
01:23:15that I must leave him for good,
01:23:17Uncle.
01:23:17In ten years of marriage to James Lopez,
01:23:19I never called you father,
01:23:20and I never will.
01:23:23Just leave.
01:23:24I will divorce him
01:23:25and start a new life.
01:23:27Calm down.
01:23:28I'm leaving now.
01:23:28You two talk.
01:23:32I'm leaving if you don't get up.
01:23:33All right,
01:23:34I'm up.
01:23:36This gift is for my daughter.
01:23:38We don't need it.
01:23:39Bella waited eight years for your remorse.
01:23:41Missing paternal love can't be replaced.
01:23:43No.
01:23:47Is there
01:23:48no going back?
01:23:52We can't go back.
01:23:54Please, I beg you.
01:23:55I'm begging you.
01:23:56Don't do this.
01:23:57Our ten years together,
01:23:58can't you give me one more chance?
01:24:00One last chance.
01:24:02James Lopez.
01:24:03I've given you countless chances.
01:24:06There's no going back.
01:24:08Everyone makes mistakes.
01:24:10I've already admitted my wrongs.
01:24:11Why push things to such extremes?
01:24:12Do you really want Bella to have a stepfather?
01:24:15None of your business.
