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?
00:21:46Oh, 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
00:24:17on your precious first lover.
00:24:19Serena Olsen was right.
00:24:20I'm both pitiful and ridiculous.
00:24:24Are 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.
00:24:34I 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.
00:24:43If you divorce James Lopez, I might generously spare you some cash, so you two can enjoy a
00:24:47few 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?
00:25:31I'll divorce him.
00:25:34Manny Short, what did you say?
00:25:37Oh, right.
00:25:39James 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.
00:25:54If you think that's love, then please you two stay locked together and don't harm others.
00:25:58He 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?
00:26:54Manny Short.
00:26:55Manny Short, 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 Short, after all these years of marriage, we've never even raised voices at each other.
00:27:20Now 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, I'll let that slide too.
00:27:29No need.
00:27:31The one you've been waiting for over a decade has finally returned.
00:27:33I'll step aside from you.
00:27:36Manny Short, must 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.
00:27:44So 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, you'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, you make me sick.
00:28:04This divorce is happening.
00:28:07Manny Shaw, where are you taking my daughter?
00:28:08I'm talking to you.
00:28:10I'm talking to you.
00:28:10Mr. Hall, are you all right?
00:28:30I'm fine.
00:28:32Don't worry, Mr. Hall.
00:28:33Miss 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, she'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.
00:28:47Sigh.
00:28:57Jason?
00:28:58Jason?
00:29:04My daughter, Manny.
00:29:06Manny Shaw.
00:29:07Please, look after her.
00:29:12Jason.
00:29:15Mr. Shaw died serving our nation.
00:29:17After a decade of research and development, the technology is finally ready.
00:29:23As for Jason Shaw, he's been posthumously honored with the National Medal of Merit.
00:29:28Now I can finally step forward to fulfill his dying wish.
00:29:31With your influence, the Lopez family won't let Miss Shaw suffer any mistreatment.
00:29:36Let's go.
00:29:37I can't wait to meet Manny Shaw.
00:29:38Mom, my leg is really hurting.
00:29:52Manny Shaw, take this matter home.
00:29:54Don't embarrass yourself here.
00:29:55Where's the cab?
00:29:58I'm talking to you.
00:29:59Are you deaf?
00:30:00James Lopez.
00:30:02You can ignore me, but Bella is your own daughter.
00:30:04She's injured.
00:30:04Can't you see that?
00:30:06Bella's hurt.
00:30:07I'll take you to the hospital then.
00:30:08James, you promised to walk Zach's dog.
00:30:10I'm sorry, my daughter's injured.
00:30:15Otto, what's wrong?
00:30:16Don't scare me like this.
00:30:18Dad, Otto just threw up everywhere.
00:30:20Let's get him to the vet right away.
00:30:23James, Otto means everything to Zach.
00:30:25He's crucial to him.
00:30:26If something happens to Otto, Zach will be devastated.
00:30:28Please.
00:30:29Bella, I 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.
00:30:40Mom, my leg is in serious pain.
00:30:56Please, I'm begging you.
00:30:57Bella is in terrible pain.
00:30:58Can you take us to the hospital first?
00:31:02Sis, Otto means everything to Zach.
00:31:05If anything happens to him, Zach will be devastated.
00:31:08Besides, the car didn't actually hit you earlier.
00:31:10These minor scratches can be treated at a local clinic.
00:31:14I'm begging you.
00:31:15Just let James help us for a little while.
00:31:17We just return to the country and have no one else to turn to.
00:31:22Manny Shaw, stop this nonsense.
00:31:24Otto is crucial to Zach.
00:31:25We must get them to the hospital now.
00:31:26James 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, does 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?
00:31:52Okay.
00:31:56Manny Shaw.
00:32:00Kale Perry, my daughter's hurt.
00:32:01Please take us to the hospital.
00:32:03Come with me.
00:32:03Ms. Shaw isn't answering.
00:32:17Track her current location immediately.
00:32:19I'll retrieve her myself.
00:32:21Understood.
00:32:21Also, prepare 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.
00:32:33Serena, when you run into Manny Shaw, keep your distance.
00:32:40Don't confront her directly.
00:32:42I'm sorry, James.
00:32:43If I hadn't come back and stayed abroad with Zach to fend for ourselves...
00:32:47That's not what I meant.
00:32:51I need to pity!
00:32:55Stop the car!
00:32:56I ordered you to stop the car now!
00:32:58Stop!
00:33:03Dad, Bella'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.
00:33:17It'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, if Sister Manny insists on divorcing you, will 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?
00:33:45James?
00:33:45Do you know Logan Hall, a big shot?
00:33:50James?
00:33:51Do you know Logan Hall, a big shot?
00:33:54Mr. Hall just had his assistant contact me.
00:33:56He's offering our Lopez family a ten billion yuan contract.
00:33:59If we sign this contract,
00:34:01we'll instantly rise to become top ten prestigious families in Southern Province.
00:34:07Really, Dad?
00:34:09I don't know, Mr. Hall.
00:34:10Why would he give us such a huge contract?
00:34:12His assistant mentioned it's because our family married an outstanding daughter-in-law.
00:34:16Son, this heaven-sent opportunity, we must seize it.
00:34:19I'll find out right now where Mr. Hall is.
00:34:21Send someone to receive him immediately.
00:34:23Make sure you treat him with 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 this billion-dollar contract,
00:34:34our status in Sea City will skyrocket.
00:34:37But who's helping us?
00:34:39Daughter-in-law.
00:34:42Could it be?
00:34:43James?
00:34:44When I was overseas, I had the honor of dining with Mr. Hall.
00:34:47I casually mentioned Lopez family from Sea City.
00:34:50Never thought he'd mistake me for the Lopez family's daughter-in-law.
00:34:54Sister Manny, she won't get mad, right?
00:34:56Serena, you're our family's savior.
00:34:59As for Manny Shaw, she's just a housewife who cooks and cleans.
00:35:02What's she ever done for our family?
00:35:03She has no right to complain.
00:35:04This billion-dollar deal couldn't possibly come from Manny Shaw.
00:35:11Even if I claim credit, nobody will know.
00:35:14Manny Shaw, I'm the Lopez family's benefactor now.
00:35:18How could you possibly compete with me for this position?
00:35:28Manny Shaw, take the child to the emergency surgery department first.
00:35:30I'll handle the registration.
00:35:31Thank you, Kalperi.
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, how much will it cost?
00:35:52Around 1,000 yuan.
00:35:53Huh?
00:36:01Doctor, could you clean the wound first?
00:36:03I'll go borrow money.
00:36:05This.
00:36:08Dustin.
00:36:12Dustin, you tend to the child's wound.
00:36:13I'll go pay.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:15Mm-hmm.
00:36:16Let's go.
00:36:19Wait for Mom.
00:36:22Kalperi, thank you for today.
00:36:24If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do.
00:36:27No need to be so formal.
00:36:28Next month, I'll pay you back for sure.
00:36:29Manny Shaw.
00:36:33Why the formality?
00:36:35Mr. Lopez sure dotes on his son.
00:36:37Chisk!
00:36:38This dog gets better care than people.
00:36:40Last time, Mr. Lopez brought his son and this dog for checkups.
00:36:43Spent tens of thousands.
00:36:45Exactly!
00:36:45This is a hospital for humans now.
00:36:47Mr. Lopez has turned it into a pet clinic.
00:36:49He's one of our hospital's investors.
00:36:51Mr. Lopez.
00:36:51I know.
00:36:52He'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 one thousand you in medical bill of my daughter.
00:37:06Yet he'll spend tens of thousands on medical checkups for someone else's dog.
00:37:10Pathetic, isn't it?
00:37:16Manny.
00:37:17You're not the issue.
00:37:19He doesn't value what he has.
00:37:20The 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 Zach to the hospital.
00:37:42Was smoking me really necessary?
00:37:45You're overthinking.
00:37:46Where's Bella?
00:37:49You left her alone on the street?
00:37:51James Lopez.
00:37:52I'm not like you.
00:37:53I won't abandon my family over some stray animal and leave them stranded.
00:37:57Stray animal?
00:38:00Manny Shaw.
00:38:01Are you really petty enough to 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 as an excuse.
00:38:09Now you're resorting to divorce threats and walkouts in these manipulative games just to control me.
00:38:13All this drama just to force me to abandon Serena and her child.
00:38:17Last time I'll say this.
00:38:18I helped them out of pity.
00:38:19She's struggling as a single mother.
00:38:20Nothing improper happened.
00:38:22I've given you chances to save face.
00:38:24Don't push your luck.
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 for weakness.
00:38:36I can't afford our own child's basic medical care.
00:38:39I don't care about your romantic escapades.
00:38:41Mr. Lopez.
00:38:43End your impoverished charade.
00:38:44Just let us go.
00:38:46We can't keep up with your mind games.
00:38:47You found out everything.
00:38:57Are 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.
00:39:07I was wrong to hide it.
00:39:08But I wanted to tell you there just wasn't a right time.
00:39:11Ten years.
00:39:12Ten years by your side couldn't earn me one moment of honesty?
00:39:15In all these years, haven't you adapted to our poor life?
00:39:18You married me knowing I wasn't rich.
00:39:19I hid my identity to be with you.
00:39:21If I told you suddenly that I'm CEO of Lopez Group, could you handle that?
00:39:24James Lopez.
00:39:26Sharing hardships with you doesn't mean I deserve permanent 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, I've struggled endlessly with financial burdens.
00:39:40I've struggled with water bills, electricity, living costs, our daughter's tutors.
00:39:45They crushed me beyond breath.
00:39:47Through it all, I never asked you for money.
00:39:49But you, giving Serena Olsen $100,000 monthly, do you think money fixes this?
00:39:54Enough, Manny Shaw.
00:39:55Your father left you because your mom nagged.
00:39:57That's why he left.
00:39:58Without me marrying you, you'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.
00:40:15Manny Shaw.
00:40:16You knew my true status but kept pretending.
00:40:19You wanted this outcome.
00:40:20If I divorce you, your schemes will fail.
00:40:22So, don'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 from you.
00:40:30I just want my daughter.
00:40:32You're serious, Manny Shaw?
00:40:35Right.
00:40:35Me.
00:40:37I'm serious.
00:40:38I want a divorce.
00:40:43Manny Shaw.
00:40:43If you go through with this divorce, don't you dare regret it.
00:40:46I won't.
00:40:48Bella's waiting for me in the ward.
00:40:50Go tend to your lover's dog.
00:40:57Dad, I'm hungry.
00:40:58Ask your mom.
00:40:59I'm busy.
00:41:00Mom, isn't it Bella took Daddy Lopez away?
00:41:03He doesn't love us anymore?
00:41:05Manny Shaw.
00:41:06You put this on yourself.
00:41:09Mom, I'm sorry.
00:41:10If I hadn't gone to the park, I wouldn't have gotten hurt or missed the bus.
00:41:14It's okay.
00:41:16Bella.
00:41:18Daddy is here to see you.
00:41:19James 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.
00:41:32Bella.
00:41:33Daddy didn't realize how badly you were hurt.
00:41:35I contacted the chief physician.
00:41:37He'll be here soon to re-examine you.
00:41:40No need.
00:41:41Uncle Allison already checked me.
00:41:43Bella.
00:41:43I've neglected you before.
00:41:45I swear I'll make more time to 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 Zach Olsen's daddy and made me call you Uncle.
00:42:03Dad.
00:42:03Dad.
00:42:03Bella.
00:42:09Today I'm here to Zach's father.
00:42:11To avoid misunderstandings that could hurt Zach, you 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 can 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, what 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 who taught Bella these things.
00:42:43Look at what you've been putting in her head.
00:42:44My sweet daughter.
00:42:45How could you turn her into this?
00:42:46Mom never taught me to 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.
00:42:53Dad, I got a hundred on my test today.
00:43:01The teacher needs a parent's signature.
00:43:03Zach, don't cry.
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 out of pity.
00:43:23He lost his father as a child.
00:43:25So he gets to steal mine?
00:43:28Uncle, I know you don't love me.
00:43:30I used Mom's phone to send you so many messages.
00:43:32You never replied.
00:43:34But it doesn't matter anymore.
00:43:37What messages?
00:43:47You always said you had no money before.
00:43:48Mom had to work multiple part-time jobs and worked until her back hurt.
00:43:52It broke my heart to see her like that.
00:43:54So I collected bottles to help her earn money.
00:43:56But Uncle, why did you tell us you were poor?
00:43:59You can reserve the entire restaurant to treat Zach Olsen to Western food.
00:44:03Why did you lie to us?
00:44:06So Bella saw everything that day.
00:44:08I'm sorry, Bella.
00:44:09Daddy made mistakes before.
00:44:10If you want Western food, I'll call right now to have them deliver it here.
00:44:13And I'll get you your favorite strawberry cake.
00:44:15Please forgive Daddy one more time.
00:44:16I've already given you chances.
00:44:20What?
00:44:21Last time you promised to come camping with me, I was so happy.
00:44:28Daddy!
00:44:28Daddy!
00:44:32Even though you only went for Zach Olsen,
00:44:35but just seeing you there made me feel so blessed.
00:44:38But I didn't lie and never stole money.
00:44:41Zach Olsen was the one bullying me.
00:44:44Why do you believe everything he says?
00:44:46Bella Lopez!
00:44:47Apologize!
00:44:49Apologize now!
00:44:53Mom, I 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 Shaw, Bella is my daughter too.
00:45:01You can't take her away.
00:45:02You seem to have forgotten, Mr. Lopez.
00:45:04You said it yourself, Zach Olsen is your precious son.
00:45:07Our Bella has nothing to do with you.
00:45:10Stop!
00:45:11Get out!
00:45:12Get out!
00:45:14Leave!
00:45:28Mom cooked your favorite braised pork today.
00:45:30When will you come home?
00:45:31I want to wait for Daddy so we can eat together.
00:45:37I got full marks on the test again today.
00:45:40He just said I'm smart.
00:45:41When does Daddy get off work?
00:45:44I hasn't seen you for three days.
00:45:46Can Bella and Mom come pick you up from work?
00:45:49Does Daddy not love me?
00:45:51Why do you never reply to my messages?
00:45:54Daddy, there's a school camping trip tomorrow.
00:45:57Daddy, can you come with me?
00:46:00Daddy, you really came.
00:46:01Bella is so happy.
00:46:03Bella?
00:46:04Mom, will we make the high-speed train?
00:46:13I'll book new tickets and we'll leave tonight.
00:46:15Is that okay?
00:46:22Bella Lopez, I was wrong before.
00:46:24I rented a wheelchair for you.
00:46:26You should use it.
00:46:27I won't.
00:46:28Come on, just try it.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:31Sit.
00:46:32Sit.
00:46:32Sit.
00:46:32Sit.
00:46:34Sit.
00:46:37Bella, how can you be this naive?
00:46:39You ac-
00:46:40This is outrageous.
00:46:42Apologize to Bella now.
00:46:46Zack, she hit me.
00:46:48Sister Manny, Zack's just a child.
00:46:50If he's done anything wrong, I'll apologize for him.
00:46:53But you can't lay hands on him.
00:46:54Manny, sure.
00:46:55You're heartless.
00:46:56How dare you harm a child?
00:46:57James Lopez, are you blind?
00:46:59Can't you see you bullied Bella first?
00:47:00Enough.
00:47:01Stop embarrassing yourself here.
00:47:03Serena, I just received word Mr. Hall has arrived at the hospital.
00:47:07Zack and I will greet him with you.
00:47:10Manny Shaw, I'm about to welcome someone who will elevate the Lopez family.
00:47:13He thinks Serena is my wife.
00:47:15When you see us later, pretend you don't know us.
00:47:20Manny Shaw, once I secure the multi-billion dollar contract for Lopez Group,
00:47:24the position of Lopez family's daughter-in-law will be mine.
00:47:28As for your lowly status, you and your daughter can go back to scraping by.
00:47:32Serena Olsen, don't push it.
00:47:36Ah, hey!
00:47:37James!
00:47:39Manny Shaw, you've gone too far this time.
00:47:42I warned you, the person I'm meeting holds Lopez Group's future in his hands,
00:47:45yet you're here making a scene.
00:47:46A crude, brainless woman like you could never compare to Serena.
00:47:50What are you doing?
00:47:56What's going on here?
00:47:59What are you doing?
00:48:02Are you okay?
00:48:08I'm fine, thank you.
00:48:10Mind your own business.
00:48:13Who are you?
00:48:14Why are you bullying them?
00:48:15Old man, this 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, what are you, the neighborhood busybody?
00:48:30Why do you care about other people's business?
00:48:32Got too much time on your hands?
00:48:34You old geezer, watch her mouth or 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 this mother and child so badly?
00:48:49I 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.
00:48:59Sir, please let it go.
00:49:03Young lady, the 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, the 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?
00:49:27You?
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.
00:49:51Hey, Serena.
00:49:51You know old Mr. Hall.
00:49:52Did you see them go in?
00:49:54No.
00:49:56Mr. 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.
00:50:22My 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,
00:50:37Zach Olsen is way too loud.
00:50:38Just take him already.
00:50:39I'll wait here.
00:50:47Dad?
00:50:48James Lopez!
00:50:48What did you do to anger Mr. Hall?
00:50:50He canceled the deal.
00:50:51What?
00:50:54Sit, Manny.
00:50:57You know me?
00:50:58You know me?
00:50:58This is my business card.
00:51:06National 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.
00:51:34Your 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.
00:51:56Half of the Hall family's honor
00:52:00belongs to your father.
00:52:04I'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.
00:52:21I should have done this a decade ago.
00:52:22I should have done this a decade ago.
00:52:22I should have done this a decade ago.
00:52:27Mr. Hall,
00:52:28Henry Lopez,
00:52:29head of the Lopez family,
00:52:30requests an audience.
00:52:32He let James Lopez bully 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, yes.
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 has deceived me
00:52:54for 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 is going on?
00:53:27Why didn't I see Mr. 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.
00:53:45Serena 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 ten billion
00:53:52contract to us.
00:53:54But Mr. Hall's assistant
00:53:55said this ten 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
00:54:27ten billion contract,
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.
00:54:39Okay,
00:54:41good.
00:54:42I heard
00:54:42Mr. Hall likes
00:54:43cultural relics
00:54:44and jade.
00:54:45Three years ago
00:54:46at an auction,
00:54:46I bought a piece
00:54:47worth thirty million
00:54:48white jade.
00:54:49Go get ready
00:54:50and bring it
00:54:51when you visit
00:54:51Mr. Hall.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:54Wait.
00:54:55I just received news.
00:54:56There's a mysterious
00:54:57force in 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
00:55:02feeling of 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
00:55:11this 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!
00:55:58Mr. Lopez will be furious!
00:56:00It'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
00:56:12young Miss.
00:56:13Mr. Lopez told us
00:56:14to store them properly.
00:56:16Bleh!
00:56:16It's all trash!
00:56:22Take these boxes!
00:56:23I spilled them out!
00:56:24What?
00:56:25Auntie Nancy!
00:56:27I'm the lady
00:56:28of this house now!
00:56:29I said get rid of this junk!
00:56:37Auntie Nancy!
00:56:39Who made this mess?
00:56:40This...
00:56:41This is...
00:56:46Auntie Nancy!
00:56:49Didn't I say
00:56:49no one should touch my things?
00:56:51Who did this?
00:56:51It was Miss Olsen's son!
00:56:55I 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 young
00:57:00Mrs. Longings,
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 to
00:57:17a secret hideout!
00:57:18It's super fun here!
00:57:19James!
00:57:26Zach was just being
00:57:27too playful!
00:57:28That's why he made a mess here!
00:57:29I'll get someone
00:57:30right away to clean it up,
00:57:31okay?
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!
00:57:40Sir!
00:57:45Sir!
00:57:46There seems to be a noise
00:57:47coming from your study!
00:57:47Mom,
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 hit 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!
00:58:43Zack,
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.
00:58:59Hello?
00:59:00The number you dialed
00:59:00is currently unavailable.
00:59:01Aunty 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 in your travel mug.
00:59:18Madame brewed it herself.
00:59:20I don't know the recipe.
00:59:31Ahem, 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
00:59:46Mrs. 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 Mrs. Belongings
00:59:57are trash to be disposed of.
00:59:59She ordered me
00:59:59to clear everything.
01:00:00I'm sorry.
01:00:01Never 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 is long overdue.
01:00:19What?
01:00:22Auntie Nancy,
01:00:23you've never met Manny Shaw.
01:00:24Why are you defending her?
01:00:26Though I've never met your wife,
01:00:28I can sense her devotion to you.
01:00:29When you come home each day,
01:00:30your clothes may be worn,
01:00:32but they're always neatly prepped
01:00:34and spotlessly clean.
01:00:35You say she's busy with work,
01:00:37raising the child
01:00:37and tending to your every need.
01:00:40She's truly remarkable.
01:00:47Here.
01:00:48You must be hungry this late.
01:00:50Let me make you noodles.
01:00:52What's this?
01:00:52It's my co-worker's daughter
01:00:56outgrew them.
01:00:57They don't fit her anymore.
01:00:58They look nearly new.
01:01:00I altered them for 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.
01:01:13Look at Miss Olsen's fancy outfits.
01:01:17She's not life material.
01:01:19Madam is perfect for you.
01:01:21Don't do anything foolish to hurt her.
01:01:28Have I truly made a mistake?
01:01:32Many sure.
01:01:34Bella, when will you come home?
01:01:35I'll make it.
01:01:43Well, it's so beautiful here.
01:01:54Uncle, is this place
01:01:55where Mom and I will live
01:01:56from now on?
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:58Upstairs is Bella's princess suite.
01:02:00It's all decorated.
01:02:00Feel free to check it out.
01:02:02See if you like it.
01:02:08Miss Shul.
01:02:10Mr. Hall has official business today,
01:02:12so he couldn't accompany you
01:02:13to view the property.
01:02:14If there's anything you'd like
01:02:15to modify, just let me know.
01:02:17Assistant Tyler,
01:02:18Miss Villa is too extravagant.
01:02:19I can't accept it.
01:02:21The deed has been transferred
01:02:22to your name.
01:02:22This is Mr. Hall's kindness.
01:02:24Please accept it.
01:02:25Fine.
01:02:26Mr. Hall wanted you to know
01:02:27you're the youngest daughter
01:02:28of the Hall family.
01:02:29All these are rightfully yours.
01:02:32All right.
01:02:36Feel free to use the money
01:02:37in this card.
01:02:38Mr. Hall will deposit monthly funds
01:02:39into it regularly.
01:02:42Mr. Hall also wanted me
01:02:43to tell you tomorrow.
01:02:45He'll host a belated birthday party
01:02:46for Bella.
01:02:47During the banquet,
01:02:48he'll officially recognize you
01:02:49as his daughter.
01:02:50You have three elder brothers
01:02:51who are in politics,
01:02:52the military, and business.
01:02:54They're coming to Sea City
01:02:55tomorrow to support you.
01:02:57How can I deserve all this?
01:02:58Miss Shaw,
01:02:59this is the recognition
01:03:00you deserved ten years ago.
01:03:02The injustices you've suffered,
01:03:04Mr. Hall will address
01:03:04them all tomorrow.
01:03:07I just want to cut ties
01:03:08with the Lopez family
01:03:09and divorce James Lopez.
01:03:15Mom,
01:03:16the room upstairs
01:03:17is so beautiful.
01:03:18So many dolls I like.
01:03:20Are these all really for me?
01:03:22Can I really live
01:03:23in such a big house?
01:03:26Of course.
01:03:27Our Bella will never have
01:03:28to suffer with Mom again.
01:03:29But Mom,
01:03:30being with you
01:03:30wasn't hard at all.
01:03:31I love you most.
01:03:39Manny,
01:03:39where are you?
01:03:40Are you free for coffee?
01:03:42Sure, Senior.
01:03:43Send me the address.
01:03:44I'll be there soon.
01:03:49Assistant Tyler,
01:03:50could you please...
01:03:51Don't worry.
01:03:52I'll take good care of Bella.
01:03:53Let's go.
01:03:55Go ahead.
01:03:58Miss,
01:03:58let us take you
01:04:00to get dressed up.
01:04:04James Lopez,
01:04:05I've wasted ten years
01:04:07for you.
01:04:08All these years
01:04:08I lost myself completely.
01:04:10Never spent a single penny
01:04:11on myself.
01:04:13But starting today,
01:04:14I'll live only for myself
01:04:16and Bella.
01:04:18The old Manny Shaw.
01:04:20Goodbye.
01:04:20Goodbye.
01:04:28Manny.
01:04:43Camel,
01:04:44you look so different today.
01:04:45What happened?
01:04:47I've transferred the money
01:04:48I owed you.
01:04:49Please take it.
01:04:50You're too kind.
01:04:55After work that day,
01:04:58I tried to find you,
01:04:59but you weren't there.
01:04:59So I wanted to meet
01:05:00and 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,
01:05:10that kind of man
01:05:11isn't worth it.
01:05:21Manny, marry him.
01:05:25James,
01:05:29I heard that
01:05:29Mr. Hall's hosting
01:05:30a birthday party
01:05:31for his granddaughter tomorrow.
01:05:32We spent five million
01:05:33on a pink gemstone
01:05:34necklace for her.
01:05:36She'll love it.
01:05:41Manny Shaw?
01:05:44Manny Shaw?
01:05:48Cale,
01:05:49let's find someone else
01:05:49to talk.
01:05:51All right.
01:05:54Manny Shaw.
01:05:55Who's he?
01:05:58What's it to you?
01:05:59I'm your husband.
01:06:00Mr. Lopez,
01:06:01you should have signed
01:06:02the divorce papers.
01:06:03Since you've signed,
01:06:04you're now my ex-husband.
01:06:06You have no right
01:06:07to control me.
01:06:08No,
01:06:08I haven't signed him.
01:06:09Manny,
01:06:10I don't want a divorce.
01:06:11That's not your call.
01:06:12This divorce
01:06:13is happening
01:06:14whether you like it or not.
01:06:15Let's go.
01:06:17Fine.
01:06:20James Lopez,
01:06:20what are you doing?
01:06:21Is it because of him
01:06:22that you're divorcing me?
01:06:24No wonder you've
01:06:25changed 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.
01:06:38What's where you're going?
01:06:40Let go.
01:06:40You want to get beat up, kid?
01:06:43Touch my husband again
01:06:44and see what happens.
01:06:45Crazy woman!
01:06:51Manny used to protect me.
01:06:53Now she's hitting me
01:06:54for another man.
01:06:57No.
01:07:00James,
01:07:01my foot seems to be sprained.
01:07:05Manny, sure.
01:07:06You love me so much.
01:07:07I don't believe
01:07:08you'll really leave me.
01:07:15Oh, so annoying.
01:07:29Manny,
01:07:30since you've made up
01:07:31your mind to divorce him,
01:07:35would you consider
01:07:36giving me a chance?
01:07:37Yes.
01:07:45Honey,
01:07:50you remember
01:07:51today is our anniversary?
01:07:52Today is our wedding anniversary?
01:08:00Does this look good here?
01:08:03Whatever.
01:08:03Does it look good?
01:08:04You used to treasure
01:08:10every bouquet I bought,
01:08:11no matter how casually
01:08:12I chose them.
01:08:13Why would you just
01:08:14cast me aside so easily now?
01:08:21Dad,
01:08:22I got a hundred
01:08:22on my test today.
01:08:23The teacher needs
01:08:23a parent's signature.
01:08:25Don't cry, Zach.
01:08:26Daddy's here.
01:08:27Tell me what's
01:08:28bothering you.
01:08:31There, there.
01:08:32Don't cry.
01:08:33I never realized
01:08:34how exceptional
01:08:34Bella is, Bella.
01:08:36Daddy will definitely
01:08:37bring you home.
01:08:47Serena,
01:08:48if you meet
01:08:48Mr. Hall later,
01:08:49make sure to speak up
01:08:50for the Lopez family.
01:08:51Put in a good word for us.
01:08:52A mysterious force
01:08:53has been targeting
01:08:54and suppressing
01:08:54the Lopez family recently.
01:08:55If I can't secure
01:08:56this ten billion contract,
01:08:57Lopez Group is finished.
01:08:59Got it.
01:09:00But I don't even know
01:09:00what Mr. Hall looks like.
01:09:01How am I supposed to
01:09:02put in a good word?
01:09:04Mommy,
01:09:05I want to eat
01:09:05that big cake over there.
01:09:06Zach Olsen,
01:09:07behave yourself.
01:09:09If you see Mr. Hall's
01:09:09granddaughter later,
01:09:10butter her up properly.
01:09:11Aw, James.
01:09:12I'll keep an eye on Zach.
01:09:16Mommy will take you
01:09:17to get other yummy treats.
01:09:18Let's go.
01:09:20Excuse me,
01:09:21where 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.
01:09:25Okay.
01:09:28Little trash,
01:09:29how did you sneak in?
01:09:30Bella?
01:09:33Why 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
01:09:39to welcome uncles.
01:09:40Grandpa?
01:09:41Uncles?
01:09:42Bella,
01:09:42your grandparents
01:09:42passed away ten years ago.
01:09:43Your mom doesn't have
01:09:44any siblings.
01:09:45What are you talking about?
01:09:46James?
01:09:47Is it Sister Manny's
01:09:48new man's family?
01:09:49You're still legally married.
01:09:50She's already replacing you
01:09:51parading around with a kid.
01:09:53Bella,
01:09:54Bella,
01:09:55come here.
01:09:56Now.
01:09:57You should leave,
01:09:58Uncle.
01:09:58Mom doesn't want to see you.
01:10:00I don't want Mom
01:10:01to get upset.
01:10:03Bella,
01:10:04tell Daddy the truth.
01:10:05Who put these words
01:10:05in your head,
01:10:06your mom or her new boyfriend?
01:10:08You're hurting me,
01:10:09Uncle.
01:10:09I'm your father.
01:10:12I'm sorry,
01:10:12Bella.
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,
01:10:16Bella's never been
01:10:17in formal situations.
01:10:18If she messes this up
01:10:19and offends Mr. Hall...
01:10:21Be good,
01:10:22Bella.
01:10:22Come with Daddy first,
01:10:23okay?
01:10:23Come.
01:10:23Let 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,
01:10:31are you okay?
01:10:32Uncle Tyler,
01:10:33I'm scared.
01:10:33Who are you?
01:10:34James,
01:10:35he's the guy
01:10:36who stood up
01:10:36for Sister Manny
01:10:37at the hospital.
01:10:38He is in league
01:10:38with that meddlesome old man.
01:10:40I don't care who you are.
01:10:42Disciplining my daughter
01:10:43is none of your business.
01:10:44Bella,
01:10:45come here.
01:10:47Grandfather prepared
01:10:48this birthday feast for me.
01:10:49I don't want to leave.
01:10:51You're lying.
01:10:51You don't have
01:10:52that much allowance.
01:10:53You collect scrap
01:10:54after school.
01:10:55Your mom's poor too.
01:10:56How could this fancy party
01:10:57possibly be for you?
01:10:58Bella,
01:10:59didn't Dad tell you
01:11:00not to lie?
01:11:01Bella,
01:11:01tell me truthfully.
01:11:03Did this Uncle Tyler
01:11:03bring you in?
01:11:04Is he your mom's
01:11:05new 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,
01:11:11don't let Manny Shaw
01:11:12fool you.
01:11:12She's married.
01:11:13Not worth risking
01:11:14your job for her.
01:11:15Cross us
01:11:15and 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
01:11:23is indeed for her.
01:11:41Dad?
01:11:41Dad?
01:11:44You must be our little sister.
01:11:46I'm Owen Hall,
01:11:46the eldest brother.
01:11:47I'm Sean Hall,
01:11:48your second brother.
01:11:48And I'm Toby Hall,
01:11:49the third brother.
01:11:50Nice to meet you all,
01:11:51brothers.
01:11:52We heard some jerk's
01:11:52been 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,
01:11:57I'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
01:12:02in the banquet hall.
01:12:04Assistant Tyler is with her.
01:12:05Let's go, little sister.
01:12:06By the way,
01:12:06we got gifts for you and Bella.
01:12:07Can't wait to give them to you.
01:12:09It feels so good
01:12:10to have people watching my back.
01:12:12Let's move.
01:12:12Mom,
01:12:17when did Bella Lopez
01:12:18become a little princess?
01:12:19She's clearly
01:12:20just a little trash.
01:12:21Zach Olsen,
01:12:22Bella is my daughter.
01:12:23How dare you
01:12:23spout such nonsense, Bella?
01:12:25Tell Dad the truth.
01:12:25Who put this sign here?
01:12:26If the whole family
01:12:27finds out,
01:12:28there will be
01:12:28serious consequences.
01:12:29This was really Grandpa
01:12:30who arranged my birthday banquet.
01:12:32Dad,
01:12:32why do you always
01:12:33distrust me?
01:12:34You're lying
01:12:35and stealing.
01:12:35How dare you act righteous?
01:12:37I said I didn't do it.
01:12:39Bella Lopez,
01:12:40you won't listen, huh?
01:12:42I'm making you apologize.
01:12:43Zach's dad,
01:12:44this matter hasn't been
01:12:45fully 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,
01:12:52why do you believe
01:12:53everything Zach Olsen says,
01:12:55but you never trust me?
01:12:57Bella,
01:12:58listen to Dad.
01:12:59First,
01:12:59let's move that sign outside.
01:13:00Wait outside for Dad.
01:13:02If you just obey Dad,
01:13:03I'll get you
01:13:03a 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
01:13:09is the most prominent in capital.
01:13:11Holdmaster Hall
01:13:12was dean of the National Academy.
01:13:14The eldest son runs
01:13:14Hall Corporation.
01:13:15The second son
01:13:16governs Southern Province.
01:13:17The third son fights
01:13:18on battlefields daily.
01:13:19He's been made Major General.
01:13:20The whole family's influence
01:13:21is unmatched across nations.
01:13:23No one ever heard
01:13:23the Halls had a youngest daughter,
01:13:25nor imagined this daughter
01:13:25would bear the family
01:13:26a little princess.
01:13:27This princess has three uncles
01:13:28protecting her.
01:13:29That's truly formidable.
01:13:31James,
01:13:31the auspicious hour approaches.
01:13:33The Holdmaster Hall
01:13:34enters and sees this mess.
01:13:38Get this sign out of here.
01:13:39You 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?
01:13:44Bella!
01:13:57James Lopez,
01:13:58I expected your visit,
01:14:00but I never imagined
01:14:00you'd have the nerve
01:14:01to bully Bella
01:14:02so shamelessly.
01:14:03Manny Shaw,
01:14:04Bella is my daughter.
01:14:05How could I bully her?
01:14:06I'm teaching her not to lie.
01:14:08Sister Manny,
01:14:08I know you're anxious
01:14:09to prove you can thrive richer
01:14:10since leaving James,
01:14:12but teaching her to lie
01:14:13is unforgivable.
01:14:15How dare you hit me?
01:14:17First,
01:14:18you slandered my daughter.
01:14:19You scheming gold digger.
01:14:20Whullying a child
01:14:21have you no shame?
01:14:22Second,
01:14:23I have no sister.
01:14:24Stop claiming kinship.
01:14:25You disgust me.
01:14:26Why does she look
01:14:27different?
01:14:29James, look!
01:14:31Honey,
01:14:31it's a misunderstanding.
01:14:32I just fear the whole family.
01:14:33Who's your honey?
01:14:34Honey,
01:14:36Manny Shaw,
01:14:40what's your relationship
01:14:40with them?
01:14:41And why are you
01:14:42dressed like this?
01:14:43You never used to
01:14:43dress this way.
01:14:44James Lopez,
01:14:45you've crossed the line.
01:14:47Manny Shaw,
01:14:48I 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
01:14:52into you, scumbag.
01:14:54How dare you touch Manny?
01:14:55You're not worthy.
01:14:56Manny Shaw,
01:14:57you ganged up
01:14:57with your three mistresses
01:14:58to bully your own husband.
01:15:00Aren't you ashamed?
01:15:01The shameless ones
01:15:02are you two.
01:15:04Hypocrites,
01:15:04bullying a child,
01:15:05yet you still have
01:15:06the nerve to live.
01:15:06We're the victims here.
01:15:07Why wouldn't I dare?
01:15:08You hit my mom,
01:15:09I'll kill you.
01:15:11Dad,
01:15:12Mom,
01:15:13she hit me.
01:15:13Shut up.
01:15:14Who's your father?
01:15:16Manny,
01:15:16I'm doing this
01:15:17for your own good.
01:15:18This is old Master Hall's
01:15:19birthday banquet
01:15:20for his granddaughter.
01:15:21The Hall family's influence
01:15:22is immense
01:15:22beyond our comprehension.
01:15:24You change the name
01:15:25to Bella's
01:15:25out of sheer vanity.
01:15:26This will bring disaster.
01:15:28Bella is today's star.
01:15:30The Hall family's princess.
01:15:31She really is
01:15:34the princess
01:15:34of the Hall family.
01:15:36Then her mother
01:15:36must be the youngest
01:15:37daughter of the Hall family.
01:15:39Manny Shaw,
01:15:40where did you find
01:15:41these three idiots?
01:15:42How could you tell
01:15:42such a monstrous lie?
01:15:43If you offend
01:15:44the Hall family,
01:15:45even the Lopez family
01:15:46can't protect you.
01:15:47Idiots?
01:15:47Big brother,
01:15:48second brother.
01:15:49He dares to call us idiots?
01:15:50You three morons.
01:15:51If you know
01:15:52what's good for you,
01:15:52get the hell out now.
01:15:53That woman who hired you,
01:15:55she's just a trash collector.
01:15:56Normally.
01:15:57I'd never stoop
01:15:58to hitting a woman,
01:15:59but you're too damn loud.
01:16:00I heard you had
01:16:00quite the adventurous
01:16:01life abroad.
01:16:05Slept with three men
01:16:06in one night?
01:16:08Who's the father
01:16:08of this child?
01:16:09Probably don't even know,
01:16:10do 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
01:16:25away like this
01:16:26and you're still so calm.
01:16:27Could it be
01:16:28all your past kindness
01:16:29to them was just an act?
01:16:30Manny Shaw,
01:16:31I know you came here
01:16:33out of jealousy
01:16:33chasing me all this way.
01:16:35Now that the
01:16:35misunderstanding's cleared,
01:16:36I can't possibly be
01:16:37with Serena Olsen anymore.
01:16:38I'm begging you,
01:16:39please come with me.
01:16:40After I secure
01:16:40this billion-dollar contract,
01:16:41we'll go home
01:16:42and live properly, okay?
01:16:43Billion-dollar contract?
01:16:44Your Lopez family
01:16:45has bullied my little sister
01:16:46to such an extent
01:16:47and you dare ask
01:16:48for the Hall family's contract?
01:16:50You made her collect trash
01:16:51and work as a cleaner?
01:16:53You must have a death wish.
01:16:55The Hall Corporation
01:16:55has already launched
01:16:56a takeover war
01:16:57against the Lopez family.
01:16:59In one day,
01:16:59no, half a day,
01:17:00there'll be no Lopez family
01:17:01left in Sea City.
01:17:05Uncles,
01:17:06after all,
01:17:07he'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,
01:17:12you still refuse to believe.
01:17:14You can't accept
01:17:14that the woman
01:17:15you once deceived,
01:17:15trampled on
01:17:16and looked down upon,
01:17:17is now the wealthy family
01:17:18you're trying to court.
01:17:19How is this possible?
01:17:21You,
01:17:21but you're assured.
01:17:24Hmm,
01:17:25because she's,
01:17:25Logan Hall's daughter.
01:17:33Dad.
01:17:35Ten years ago,
01:17:36Manny Shaw's father
01:17:37died serving our country
01:17:38and has been posthumously
01:17:39honoured as a national hero.
01:17:41His descendants
01:17:41will receive lifelong honours.
01:17:43I've decided to adopt
01:17:44Manny as my daughter.
01:17:45Starting today,
01:17:46Manny and Bella
01:17:47are officially members
01:17:48of the Hall family.
01:17:49James Lopez.
01:17:50Manny has no parents.
01:17:51For ten years,
01:17:52she's relied on you.
01:17:53And how did you treat her?
01:17:55You,
01:17:56you're that elderly man
01:17:57from the hospital.
01:17:58Correct.
01:17:59I did deliver
01:18:00a ten billion contract
01:18:01to the Lopez family
01:18:02to help you rise,
01:18:02but what I witnessed
01:18:03was how you treated
01:18:04Manny and her daughter.
01:18:06I wanted to skin you alive.
01:18:07James Lopez,
01:18:08you cherish that scheming woman
01:18:10while neglecting
01:18:11your own wife and child.
01:18:12You don't deserve
01:18:13to stand here
01:18:13or beg for forgiveness.
01:18:16Old Master Hall!
01:18:16Why are you standing there?
01:18:18Get him out!
01:18:19Yes!
01:18:21Manny, Manny,
01:18:22let me go!
01:18:22Manny, Manny!
01:18:24Mom, I'm fine.
01:18:26Sweetheart,
01:18:27Uncle adores you.
01:18:30Scum!
01:18:31Get lost!
01:18:34James,
01:18:35what's going on here
01:18:36with that Butch Manny Shaw?
01:18:37How did she become
01:18:38the Hall family's
01:18:38youngest daughter?
01:18:39How is she worthy of that?
01:18:40You're past me!
01:18:45You're the Butch!
01:18:46If it weren't for you,
01:18:47how could I end up like this?
01:18:48Serena Olsen,
01:18:50take your son
01:18:50and 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
01:19:07is broken.
01:19:08Someone reported discrepancies
01:19:09in the group's accounts.
01:19:10They're all from
01:19:10the audit team.
01:19:11The group's accounts
01:19:11were 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
01:19:28suddenly targeting
01:19:29our Lopez family?
01:19:30What exactly did you do
01:19:31to offend them?
01:19:32It's Manny Shaw.
01:19:33Mr. Hall and Manny Shaw's
01:19:34fathers were old friends.
01:19:36Mr. Hall returned to
01:19:37Sea City specifically for her.
01:19:38That Hall family's
01:19:39$10 billion order to us
01:19:40wasn't because of
01:19:41Serena Olsen,
01:19:42but because of Manny Shaw.
01:19:46You fool!
01:19:48You can't see the pearl,
01:19:49that wildflower
01:19:50from a rotten root.
01:19:50You treat like a treasure!
01:19:52Dad, I regret it now,
01:19:53but Manny Shaw won't
01:19:54forgive me.
01:19:54You deceived her
01:19:55for 10 years.
01:19:56All these years,
01:19:57I repeatedly told you
01:19:58to bring them home
01:19:58and recognize their roots.
01:20:00But you refused.

01:21:27my life has been empty.
01:21:29It's been a living hell.

01:21:51Bella.
01:21:52It's Grandpa.
01:21:53I'm sorry it took so long
01:21:54to take you.

01:21:56about coming home with Dad.

01:22:03will be addressed.
01:22:04I'll teach him a lesson.
01:22:07Manny,
01:22:07my son was wrong
01:22:08to hurt you.
01:22:10If destroying Lopez Group
01:22:11will ease your pain
01:22:11and let it burn.
01:22:14But I beg you
01:22:15to find it in your heart
01:22:16to give James
01:22:17another 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
01:22:26to Manny and Bella.
01:22:27Your company's downfall
01:22:28is well deserved.
01:22:31Big brother,

01:22:36Manny,

01:22:48I need to speak
01:22:48with him alone.
01:22:50Manny,
01:22:50don't go far.
01:22:52Your brothers
01:22:52are watching inside.
01:22:53If he dares to hurt you again,
01:22:55I will end him myself.

01:23:09I just hope
01:23:10you'll give James
01:23:10another chance.
01:23:12For Bella's sake.
01:23:13Enough!
01:23:14It's precisely for Bella
01:23:15that I must leave him
01:23:16for good, uncle.
01:23:17In ten years of marriage
01:23:18to 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, I'm up.
01:23:36This gift is for my daughter.
01:23:38We don't need it.
01:23:39Bella waited eight years
01:23:40for your remorse.
01:23:41Missing paternal love
01:23:42can't be replaced.
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
01:23:59one more chance?
01:24:00One last chance.
01:24:02James Lopez,
01:24:02I've given you
01:24:04countless chances.
01:24:06There's no going back.
01:24:07Everyone makes mistakes.
01:24:10I've already admitted
01:24:10my wrongs.
01:24:11Why push things
01:24:11to such extremes?
01:24:12Do you really want Bella
01:24:13to have a stepfather?
01:24:15None of your business.
01:24:17I've said my piece.
01:24:19James Lopez,
