00:00:00Please come back, Mr. Conway.
00:00:02This company needs you.
00:00:04Right now, I'm focused on being Myla's wife.
00:00:07And he doesn't know who I am.
00:00:09Is this that receptionist wife of yours?
00:00:11She's basically a free housemate.
00:00:13Oh.
00:00:14It's nice to meet you.
00:00:15Kane Hudson, founder of the new energy tech company,
00:00:18Ecologics.
00:00:19Don't you forget, our engagement
00:00:21was arranged by your grandfather.
00:00:23I want you to marry me.
00:00:24Well, then it's a good thing I need something from you.
00:00:26Should we trust Claire?
00:00:28With our lives.
00:00:31I want Kane to understand that leaving me was a mistake.
00:00:35Milo, I am taking back everything that I've given you.
00:00:38She's definitely piqued my interest.
00:00:42I told you I would take back everything.
00:00:45I'm sorry.
00:00:49Great acting back there.
00:00:51I wasn't acting.
00:00:52I meant everything I said in there.
00:00:54You're not going to stick me off my feet
00:00:56by a person like that.
00:00:57You're going to be my passenger princess sooner or later.
00:01:27I'm sorry.
00:01:40Again?
00:01:41Ms. Montgomery, we've fallen on hard times at Montgomery Group,
00:01:44and I can't shoulder the load alone.
00:01:45We really need you to come back as CEO
00:01:48and take control of everything again.
00:01:50Please come back, Ms. Montgomery.
00:01:51The company needs you.
00:01:53I'm sure you are more than capable of riding the ship on your own.
00:01:57Right now, I'm focused on being Milo's wife.
00:02:01And he doesn't know who I am yet.
00:02:04But I need to stay here and help him fulfill his entrepreneurial dreams.
00:02:09Why not just personally invest a billion dollars in your husband's company?
00:02:13That would solve everything.
00:02:15No. No. He's too proud for that.
00:02:18He'll feel inferior if I reveal my identity.
00:02:23That reminds me. Are you guys all ready for the gala tonight?
00:02:27Yes, ma'am.
00:02:29Ecologic CEO Kane Hudson will be there to announce his billion-dollar investment in your husband's research.
00:02:36Good.
00:02:37Oh, and, um, don't ask me again.
00:02:53Hey!
00:02:57Oh!
00:02:57A bouquet of roses?
00:03:11She must be the bride from findawife.com.
00:03:14If I can just marry her, Grandpa will finally stop trying to play matchmaker for me.
00:03:19It's nice to meet you.
00:03:25Kane Hudson.
00:03:27Oh, you know the deets.
00:03:29Stanford grad.
00:03:30Founder of the new energy tech company Ecologics.
00:03:33Thirty billion dollar net worth.
00:03:35Wait.
00:03:37That's Kane?
00:03:39He's actually kind of hot.
00:03:41Claire.
00:03:41No degree.
00:03:43Front desk reception at this hotel makes sixteen dollars an hour.
00:03:47You work at the front desk here?
00:03:50Is there something wrong with that?
00:03:52Whatever.
00:03:54As long as it stops my grandpa from nagging to me.
00:03:57I'll marry anything with a heart.
00:03:59Well, come on.
00:04:00Let's go tie the knot.
00:04:02Tie the knot?
00:04:04As in, you and me.
00:04:09Well, if we go right now to the clerk's office, I should be able to make it for tonight's gala.
00:04:16Look, whatever this is, it's not happening.
00:04:20I'm married.
00:04:22Happily, I might add.
00:04:26Wait, am I not paying you enough?
00:04:28Fine.
00:04:29If you promise to marry me, I'll transfer a million dollars.
00:04:32Then to your bank account.
00:04:35Right now.
00:04:36That kind of money means nothing to me.
00:04:42Boss, we're in deep shit.
00:04:44A war just broke out overseas, and one of our top suppliers has cut off all our exports.
00:04:49There will be huge losses if we can't deliver our new energy products on time.
00:04:54Okay, I want you to resell all of our current money-making projects at a low price.
00:04:58I want you to buy all the materials at a high cost from other companies.
00:05:01Even if we don't make any money, we have to deliver on time.
00:05:06Hold up.
00:05:09I just got word that in about ten minutes, multiple countries will be announcing the discovery of new, first-class raw materials.
00:05:19Soon, you'll have both cheap and high-quality materials to use.
00:05:23And where would a hotel receptionist get their hands on this highly classified information?
00:05:30Well, I guess you'll just have to wait ten minutes and find out.
00:05:34Scratch what I just said.
00:05:36We'll reassess in ten minutes.
00:05:37If I lose money on this, you're going to wish you kept that mouth shut.
00:05:44Well, then it's a good thing I need something from you.
00:05:46Otherwise, I'd just laugh at your company's downfall.
00:05:50Claire, oh my god, I have some good news for you.
00:06:01Hit me.
00:06:02Milo booked the most expensive suite in the entire hotel.
00:06:05He asked me to decorate the floor with roses and decorate the entire room with candles.
00:06:11I'm telling you, you have a surprise waiting.
00:06:13You remembered our three-year anniversary?
00:06:17What's the room number?
00:06:18The check-up time on this room is 11.30.
00:06:32Why didn't he invite me up sooner?
00:06:36Maybe he's still asleep?
00:06:39I'll go check.
00:06:48Milo.
00:07:02Is this that receptionist wife of yours?
00:07:05She could learn a thing or two about skincare.
00:07:07She looks all saggy and gross.
00:07:09Of course she can't compare to you, my dear.
00:07:11She's basically a free housemate.
00:07:14Skincare would be above her pay grade.
00:07:15Come on, let's go.
00:07:21You owe me an explanation!
00:07:25Just look at the facts, Claire.
00:07:27I'm a VIP guest here and you're nothing but a lowly receptionist.
00:07:31Need I say more?
00:07:33No, you...
00:07:33You really booked a room with this woman on our three-year anniversary.
00:07:40Do our wedding vows mean nothing to you?
00:07:43That's just some shit we said three years ago.
00:07:46I never would have married you if you hadn't promised to take care of me when I was dead broke.
00:07:49Milo, only an idiot like you would fall for someone so repulsive.
00:07:52Look, I was young and naive.
00:07:55Plus, we'll be divorced soon.
00:08:00Did you just say divorced?
00:08:02You heard me.
00:08:03I'm over you.
00:08:05I get depressed just thinking about coming home to your wrinkly face.
00:08:08Now that I've made it big, I can bag any ten I want.
00:08:11Why would I waste my time with a four like you?
00:08:13Tony, talk to me.
00:08:21Boss, several countries have just discovered a rich supply of first-class raw materials
00:08:26and are going to export them overseas.
00:08:28We're saved.
00:08:29Ten minutes, just like she said.
00:08:31How the hell did she know this?
00:08:33Okay, Tony, I need you to look into somebody.
00:08:37I gave up a comfortable life for you.
00:08:40I sacrificed so much and this, this is how you repay me?
00:08:48I'm the only reason you live in a luxury apartment.
00:08:51Without me, you'd be scraping by in some shithole slum.
00:08:54Milo is a giant in the medical world.
00:08:56His blood testing for cancer is nearing a breakthrough.
00:09:00And once he succeeds, he'll be saving millions of lives.
00:09:03A desk worker like you doesn't belong in his circle.
00:09:06Yeah, you hear that?
00:09:08Peasants don't mingle with the social elite.
00:09:10Stella, however, is perfect for a guy of my status.
00:09:14Seriously?
00:09:16I paid for all of your daily expenses so that you could finish your research.
00:09:22I ran around finding you investments and networking.
00:09:28To this day, all of your achievements are due to my generosity.
00:09:33I mean, if anything, the real peasant is you.
00:09:39You think you can take credit for everything?
00:09:41I got to where I am on my own talent and perseverance.
00:09:44The only thing you helped me with was housework.
00:09:47Milo, watch what you say to her.
00:09:54Do you really enjoy spending your time with these lowlifes?
00:09:58Stella, over here, is on good terms with top employee Tony at Ecologics.
00:10:03She secured me a billion dollar investment.
00:10:06It's more than you could ever dream of doing for me.
00:10:07I am the one who told Mr. Hudson to give you that money.
00:10:13I am the one who planned the Gallifer tonight where he will be announcing his investment.
00:10:20Otherwise, Cain would have never given you the time of day.
00:10:25Are we talking about the same Cain Hudson here?
00:10:27The man's a god in the new energy industry.
00:10:30All right?
00:10:30He makes more in ten minutes than you do in ten lifetimes.
00:10:33Why the hell would he listen to you?
00:10:36Miles, if you would have let me, I could have turned you into a god of your own.
00:10:44This is your loss.
00:10:46Why are you so bitter?
00:10:48Let me guess.
00:10:49You're after my money.
00:10:52Here.
00:10:54There's 50,000 on this bank card.
00:11:00Consider it your salary for the last three years of housekeeping.
00:11:06And from this day on, you're no longer my wife.
00:11:1450 grand.
00:11:16Everything that I've done for you is only worth 50 grand.
00:11:22If you're going to get greedy and try and negotiate, I won't give you anything.
00:11:26I only did it because I pity you.
00:11:27I make more money than this in my sleep.
00:11:39You crazy bitch.
00:11:42Yeah, I am crazy.
00:11:44Crazy for wasting my time with you.
00:11:49Milo, I am taking back everything that I've given you, which, if I do remember correctly,
00:11:55is literally everything you have.
00:11:57Your empty threats aren't going to make me stay with you.
00:12:06This is yours now.
00:12:11I'll tell you the full truth of the Gatla.
00:12:14Hope you won't regret anything.
00:12:17Regrets?
00:12:18Divorcing you is the greatest decision I ever made in my whole life.
00:12:22Baby, enough chit-chatting with this blue-collar trash.
00:12:27Let's go buy you a new outfit for the Gatla.
00:12:30It's a great idea.
00:12:31Let's go.
00:12:36Claire, forget about those assholes.
00:12:39Yeah, no, I'm...
00:12:40I'm fine.
00:12:41Yeah.
00:12:42Go ahead and get back to work.
00:12:50If you want, I can cancel the Gatla and run your ex's night.
00:12:58You've worked really, really hard to accomplish this.
00:13:02I would hate to cancel the Gatla because of my relationship drama.
00:13:10Collaborating with Montgomery Group was a big dream of mine.
00:13:14But you helped me out of a serious pickle.
00:13:16Like it or not, I owe you one.
00:13:19Milo is one of Montgomery's key investments.
00:13:23Canceling the Gatla will not sit well with them.
00:13:27I researched his so-called blood test for cancer.
00:13:31He's lacking reliable scientific data.
00:13:35Seems like a well-programmed pseudoscience.
00:13:39I suspect that he's going to use this to swindle investment funds.
00:13:44And what exactly do you plan to do about that?
00:13:49I want you to marry me.
00:13:52Then we can announce publicly at the Gatla.
00:13:55And you can tell everyone about Montgomery
00:13:57and how they're not going to invest with Milo anymore.
00:14:00I'm sure he'd love that.
00:14:02And his mistress.
00:14:08You're not going to sweep me off my feet by proposing like that.
00:14:13Oh, and, uh,
00:14:15for tonight's gala,
00:14:17I'm the one calling the shots.
00:14:20How about this?
00:14:27You stick by my side at the gala.
00:14:29Follow my orders.
00:14:31If you do a good job,
00:14:32I might help you.
00:14:34Do you know who I am?
00:14:36If anything,
00:14:37I should be helping you out.
00:14:38Well, you are very impressive.
00:14:41But you and I
00:14:42are not on the same level.
00:14:44Well,
00:14:45let's see then.
00:14:47I'm curious what kind of help
00:14:48you want to give me.
00:15:01Oh, hey.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:06I can take you home.
00:15:08But I'm okay.
00:15:10I have some private matters to attend to.
00:15:12You know you'll be my passenger princess
00:15:14sooner or later.
00:15:15Didn't my son dump you?
00:15:26If you're here trying to get him back,
00:15:28don't bother.
00:15:30I just came to grab a few things.
00:15:34Here.
00:15:37While we're at it,
00:15:38you can have a mile to sign those.
00:15:40You're just in time.
00:15:41We're about to throw your crap in the trash.
00:15:45There.
00:16:00The agreement's signed
00:16:01and you have your stuff.
00:16:03Now get out
00:16:04and never come back.
00:16:06Yep.
00:16:18Yeah, there's 20.
00:16:19Bye-bye.
00:16:22Boss,
00:16:23I found some information on that woman.
00:16:25Her name's Claire Montgomery.
00:16:27Montgomery?
00:16:28Yeah.
00:16:29She's not with the Montgomery group.
00:16:31Just happens to have the same last name.
00:16:32An ordinary receptionist
00:16:35is going up against Milo Preston?
00:16:38She's got some guts.
00:16:39I'll give her that.
00:16:40Get the car.
00:16:41We're going to see her.
00:16:43If you break my things,
00:16:46then you're going to break your bank too
00:16:48trying to pay me back.
00:16:51It's just a bunch of cheap stuff anyway.
00:16:54Who cares if it breaks?
00:16:55Give me the necklace.
00:17:07A fat chance.
00:17:09It looks way better on me.
00:17:11And someone in your line of business
00:17:13can't afford such expensive things.
00:17:16You must have stolen from us
00:17:18to have bought it.
00:17:20I bought that necklace
00:17:21with my own money.
00:17:22Oh, the hell you did.
00:17:24I could spend
00:17:26your entire monthly salary
00:17:27just in the hair salon.
00:17:30There's no way that you bought it.
00:17:32Tell me.
00:17:34Did you really take our money, Claire?
00:17:36Wouldn't you like to know?
00:17:37Look, just
00:17:38give me back the necklace.
00:17:41I will not
00:17:42ask nicely next time.
00:17:47If you want it,
00:17:49take it.
00:17:50Take it.
00:17:54Take your hands off my sister,
00:17:55you human villain.
00:18:16Claire.
00:18:16If anybody hurts her,
00:18:21I'll break their wrist.
00:18:23Wow.
00:18:24Well, look what Claire found.
00:18:27I guess this explains
00:18:28her newfound confidence.
00:18:30But then again,
00:18:31once a whore,
00:18:31always a whore.
00:18:33Tony, shut her up.
00:18:35Open your mouth one more time
00:18:36and I'll shut it for you.
00:18:39You're banging this guy
00:18:40in exchange for protection?
00:18:41Gross.
00:18:46I need my necklace.
00:18:47Ssss.
00:18:48Sssss.
00:18:57Ssss.
00:19:00I need my necklace.
00:19:06I love to call you.
00:19:11I love to know you.
00:19:14You're not going to have to
00:19:16abilities to define
00:19:17Thank you for driving me home.
00:19:24I'll see you tonight.
00:19:25Wait.
00:19:31Oh, I could do it.
00:19:34Don't move.
00:19:47Let me drive you to the gala tonight.
00:19:51I have a ride.
00:20:01Boss, you know I can't find any other information on her.
00:20:07I make more money than this in my sleep.
00:20:11I just got word that in about ten minutes.
00:20:14Ten minutes? Just like she said.
00:20:16I need my necklace.
00:20:18If she's wearing jewelry like that and she's able to predict the discovery of new raw materials,
00:20:22she's not just an ordinary woman.
00:20:24Keep looking.
00:20:26I gotta know who she is.
00:20:28Got it, boss.
00:20:43Good to see you, Ms. Montgomery.
00:20:44From this day forward,
00:20:46I'll be retaking control of Montgomery.
00:20:51Then should we cancel the gala?
00:20:52No.
00:20:53I want to see the look on Milo's face when he realizes what he's done.
00:20:57I wasted too much time on that greedy son of a bitch.
00:21:03It's time for me to become Claire Montgomery again.
00:21:06And of course, the scuba diving is lovely there, but I'm not going to vacation in the same place twice.
00:21:13Mr. Preston, congrats on the investment from Ecologic.
00:21:17This will be a game changer for your cancer testing research.
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:20I mean, Ecologics is the world's leading new energy company.
00:21:24What's their output?
00:21:25Ten billion a year?
00:21:27With Mr. Hudson's backing, you've got a bright future out of you.
00:21:30I appreciate your support.
00:21:33Everyone here played a role in this achievement.
00:21:36We celebrate together.
00:21:39Hey, is it true that you got divorced?
00:21:41It is.
00:21:45And if his ex-wife hadn't been holding him back for three years, this day would have come a whole lot sooner.
00:21:52Not going anywhere in her life?
00:21:53She wasn't worth a second of my love.
00:21:56I consider divorcing her a step in the direction of success.
00:22:01Now you got me curious about her.
00:22:03What does she look like?
00:22:05Don't get your hopes out.
00:22:07It's actually hilarious how ugly she is.
00:22:10Smilow.
00:22:16Wake up!
00:22:35Hello, skank.
00:22:37This is a private gala.
00:22:39And guess what?
00:22:40You're not a love.
00:22:41Excuse me?
00:22:42And where does it say that I can't be here?
00:22:45Claire.
00:22:46We're over.
00:22:47Just leave me alone.
00:22:49If you had any self-awareness, you would know how sad it looks trying to get me back.
00:22:53The only thing sad is you, naked with the light on.
00:22:56I'm here to show these people what a fucking fraud you are.
00:23:01I'm here to show these people what a fucking fraud you are.
00:23:01I'm here to show these people.
00:23:02You're not a good thing.
00:23:03I'm here to show these people.
00:23:04I'm here to show these people.
00:23:05How dare you insult my son?
00:23:11Milo is well-packaged.
00:23:13You...
00:23:14You absolutely reek of poverty.
00:23:24That weak little slap is nothing compared to the pain I'm going to make you feel.
00:23:30Your threats mean nothing to us.
00:23:37And the people here, we're movers and shakers.
00:23:40That guy that you're banging ain't going to give you any help.
00:23:44Are you trying to get slapped too?
00:23:48Where's your sugar daddy, Claire?
00:23:51Oh, I bet you thought he was going to come here and save you.
00:23:54I could take you both on my own.
00:23:58You think my power comes from a man?
00:24:01If only you knew.
00:24:03Man, I am glad I divorced you.
00:24:06I knew you were stupid, but I didn't realize how easy you were.
00:24:09I don't even want to know your body count now that we've split up.
00:24:12Oh, that's rich coming from you.
00:24:15You're the one who cheated on me when we were still married.
00:24:18That's different.
00:24:20Stella has taken my career to new heights.
00:24:22You're a useless housewife.
00:24:25I'd be crazy not to choose her over you.
00:24:28The real you is an asshole.
00:24:31I never should have spent so much time getting you investments and paving your way to the top.
00:24:37I wasted three years.
00:24:46You're a liar.
00:24:47I was the one slaving away to get Milo these opportunities.
00:24:54You did nothing for him.
00:24:56Yeah.
00:24:57Stella's uncle is the CFO of Montgomery Group.
00:24:59Only she can get the support that Milo deserves.
00:25:02True that.
00:25:03Claire's just lashing out out of jealousy.
00:25:05I was the one who secured all of your investments and research opportunities over the past few years.
00:25:14Including the investment on Ecologics.
00:25:16Don't fall for her bullshit.
00:25:18Relax.
00:25:19I was with her long enough to know how useless she is.
00:25:22As long as I can play my uncle as the CFO card, no one's going to doubt me.
00:25:27I'll say this once.
00:25:30Leave the gala before things get messy.
00:25:34You're the one who has no business here.
00:25:37I already told Kane to cancel the investment.
00:25:41You're not getting another cent from Ecologics.
00:25:46Sorry for the wait.
00:25:47Evening folks, I'm Gideon Ford, executive assistant of Ecologics.
00:25:58I'm here on our CEO's account to present this agreement with the gala's host.
00:26:05Hear that?
00:26:07And you thought he canceled the investment?
00:26:10Not on my watch, bitch.
00:26:12And what makes you so sure that this agreement is for you?
00:26:17Boss, we just got to complain about our investigation into Claire.
00:26:23We have no choice but to shut it down.
00:26:26Interesting.
00:26:27She's definitely piqued my interest.
00:26:30Has she arrived at the gala?
00:26:31She's there.
00:26:32Gideon's about to deliver the agreement.
00:26:35Should we trust Claire?
00:26:37With our lives.
00:26:39Who else would it be for?
00:26:42Not some minimum wage hotel worker.
00:26:45Mr. Ford, just to confirm, that's Mr. Hudson's investment agreement you got there?
00:26:52That's right.
00:26:54Well, that settles it.
00:26:56Your cute little games are over.
00:26:58I'm heading to the top.
00:27:01I'm so proud of you, baby.
00:27:04Don't get too excited.
00:27:06This agreement was invalidated ten minutes ago.
00:27:09Do you really think you can influence Cain's decisions?
00:27:20Get real.
00:27:22You'd only be let through the doors at Ecologics as a janitor.
00:27:26Mr. Ford, please, read us the contents of the agreement.
00:27:30Sir, you are not authorized to view the agreement's terms.
00:27:33I'm the host of the gala.
00:27:36If anyone's authorized, it's me.
00:27:43Miss Montgomery, the fate of that agreement is for you to decide.
00:27:49Gideon, she's not involved in the Montgomery group.
00:27:53She just happens to have the same last name as the CEO.
00:27:57Don't involve her in this.
00:27:59No, he meant what he said.
00:28:01Whether this agreement will be voided or not isn't.
00:28:05Do you know how important this is?
00:28:07If I sign that paper, I'll be one of the most successful entrepreneurs overnight.
00:28:12It's going to change my life.
00:28:14You really need to think about this.
00:28:17Whoa!
00:28:18Whoa, stop!
00:28:19Stop!
00:28:23What are you doing?
00:28:24What are you doing?
00:28:29I told you I would take back everything.
00:28:36This is just the beginning.
00:28:43You're the executive assistant at Ecologics.
00:28:46You should know how important that agreement was.
00:28:50Like I said, the fate of that agreement lies on Miss Montgomery's hands.
00:28:56It's not yours to decide.
00:28:57So you slept with this guy too, huh?
00:29:01Jesus, Claire.
00:29:02Nothing's below you.
00:29:08You've got some nerve talking to Miss Montgomery like that.
00:29:11Okay.
00:29:12Now I'm really ticked off.
00:29:16Guys?
00:29:17Get these two out of here.
00:29:18Come on.
00:29:29Come on.
00:29:30Try me!
00:29:47Come on.
00:29:47Come on.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:48Hey, listen. Your CEO is the one that organized this whole gala for me.
00:29:55But now you're teaming up with Claire and letting her tear up my agreement?
00:29:59When Mr. Hudson gets here, I'm gonna tell him everything.
00:30:02Wow. You really don't get it yet, do you?
00:30:06Shut your mouth and go back to your hotel desk.
00:30:10Leave my agreements alone.
00:30:18Mr. Hudson's here.
00:30:27Now you're finished.
00:30:30Speak for yourself.
00:30:32Waging a war on my turf? You're gonna wish you were dead!
00:30:48Milo, doesn't that guy look familiar?
00:30:59Oh, that's right. It's Claire's little sugar daddy.
00:31:03Yep. That's him. Calling in your new fling to impersonate Mr. Hudson?
00:31:08Nice try, Claire.
00:31:10You fool. Mr. Hudson's the energy king. This guy you brought with you is some kind of lawless barbarian.
00:31:19Oh no. You figured me out. What am I gonna do?
00:31:29What's an asshole like you doing in a place like this?
00:31:32As if trespassing on our property isn't enough. Well, fine. Stay. We're gonna teach you a lesson.
00:31:41Yeah, I'd love to see you try.
00:31:43Do they really not know what Mr. Hudson looks like?
00:31:47The Preston family are a bunch of idiots. They don't even recognize the energy king.
00:31:53Hey, people. Are we going to greet my boss or not?
00:32:07Welcome, Mr. Hudson.
00:32:08It's great to see you.
00:32:10Thanks for coming, boss.
00:32:16What's going on here?
00:32:18Wait. Is that guy really Mr. Hudson?
00:32:21That's right. You are looking at the CEO of Ecologics.
00:32:28Cain Hudson.
00:32:35You're right. She's just a glorified servant. No way does she know Cain Hudson.
00:32:39What are you muttering about?
00:32:40You asked to see my boss. Here he is.
00:32:45Mr. Hudson is a trusted partner with the Preston family.
00:32:48No way would he stoop so low as to join forces with my shitty ex-wife.
00:32:54Milo, you dipshit.
00:32:57That guy literally is Cain Hudson.
00:32:59What?
00:33:01No.
00:33:02You really, Mr. Hudson?
00:33:07Oh, my God.
00:33:12Mr. Hudson, please forgive my ignorance.
00:33:18And on behalf of the entire Preston family, please accept our sincerest apologies.
00:33:23I'm not the one you owe an apology.
00:33:30Go on. I would love to hear what you have to apologize for.
00:33:35Sorry.
00:33:38You're gonna have to do much better than that.
00:33:40Sorry.
00:33:42Effective immediately, Ecologics is withdrawing its billion-dollar investment with Milo's research
00:33:48and officially ending our business relationship with the Preston family.
00:33:53He's withdrawing the investment without my consent?
00:33:56Shouldn't he be afraid of stirring up trouble with the Montgomery group?
00:34:00I'm sorry, mysterious Ms. Montgomery. I'll explain everything later.
00:34:03Wait! We're making a mistake here!
00:34:07Let's talk this over!
00:34:09Oof. A little late for negotiating, don't you think?
00:34:12God! You just never quit!
00:34:14What kind of spell do you have this guy under?
00:34:25You scumbag!
00:34:27You know Claire's the one that asked me to invest a billion dollars with you?
00:34:30And since you've divorced her, I have no reason to help.
00:34:34Wait. You knew that I requested Milo's investment?
00:34:39Shh! I'm just pulling his leg. Trust me, it'll make you look good.
00:34:44Fine. You're not wrong anyway.
00:34:47I don't understand why you're helping her.
00:34:50You're the energy king. You can score with the sexiest babes in the world.
00:34:55Why settle for a throwaway like her?
00:34:58Mr. Hudson, this chick has you hoodwinked.
00:35:02She's just a poor, uneducated laborer.
00:35:05Stella's right.
00:35:07And I hope you're not just in it for the ass.
00:35:10I'd rather fuck a sex doll.
00:35:15A sex doll is the only action a short, scrawny loser like you will ever get.
00:35:20Don't get a big head, Claire. He's clearly just using you.
00:35:28Is that jealousy that I'm sending you?
00:35:30I should thank you. If it wasn't for you, I might have missed my chance with Claire.
00:35:46It's a shame you couldn't appreciate her strengths.
00:35:50Thanks for divorcing me, Milo. Otherwise, I never would have met someone so much more talented, handsome, and loving than you ever were.
00:36:03Don't be so naive, Claire. He's only with you to hit it and quit it. A high flyer like that would never look at you as marriage material.
00:36:10Yeah. Guys from rich families can't just take home any old bitch. Imagine the look on his mother's face if you tried to ask for his hand.
00:36:20Actually, I think my mother would approve.
00:36:25Claire, if you want to marry me, I'm all yours.
00:36:30Mr. Hudson, she's just in it for your money.
00:36:37Doesn't matter to me.
00:36:39You need to think this over. This woman is going to scam you out of your money, sabotage your work projects, and take down your entire business.
00:36:46I don't need to think anything over. I know Claire way better than you did.
00:36:49You can trust me, Mr. Hudson. If you invest in me, I'll complete my groundbreaking cancer testing research, and I'll repay you generously for your support.
00:37:09Wake up, Milo. You're not going to be the guy that cures cancer.
00:37:19Shut your mouth!
00:37:20What the hell do you know? You didn't even go to college. You're just jealous because Milo's a genius.
00:37:26Right. Because needing my help to get investments for three years makes him a genius.
00:37:32Your help. You might know how to seduce guys, but when it comes to networking and connections, you are no match for me.
00:37:38Oh. Well then, I cannot wait to see how you get Milo out of this mess.
00:37:44And I can't wait to see what other cheap tricks you have up your sleeve.
00:37:53Yes, this is Milo.
00:37:55What? You're withdrawing your investment funds?
00:38:01No, no, no. Please. Please don't do that.
00:38:05Okay, no, I'm begging you. These funds are important to my reach.
00:38:09What? What happened?
00:38:12I missed my money. It's all gone.
00:38:16Impossible. Those investors are friends of my uncle.
00:38:19What did you do?
00:38:22Claire, let's get out of here.
00:38:26You don't leave until I say so!
00:38:30If you heard Claire, you're going to regret it.
00:38:34Claire, I'm so sorry. I've been terrible. Remember those three happy years we shared?
00:38:54Please, just forgive me.
00:39:00Milo, what are you doing? You look pathetic.
00:39:03Don't touch me.
00:39:05You and that uncle of yours have ruined my career.
00:39:09Claire, if you can get the investors to reverse their decision, I'll break up with Stella.
00:39:19Miss Stella.
00:39:23I still love you.
00:39:25I mean it.
00:39:26Really?
00:39:29Claire, it's bluffing.
00:39:33I knew you thought the same.
00:39:34You can't fool me with your last minute begging.
00:39:40Milo, I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth.
00:39:47Let's go.
00:39:48Oh, you petty bitch. You think you can take on me? Just wait and see.
00:40:05Great acting back there.
00:40:07You know, for a second I almost believed you actually loved me.
00:40:12I wasn't acting.
00:40:15I meant everything I said in there.
00:40:19I fell for Milo's lies.
00:40:22I'm sure as hell not going to fall for yours.
00:40:26Good night, Cain.
00:40:33You were right doing things with Milo.
00:40:36Now you can start fresh.
00:40:37I gave the green light to Cain for everything you did today.
00:40:42This doesn't change where he stands with us.
00:40:44Understood.
00:40:46Also, in three days I'll be holding an event to announce my return to Montgomery group.
00:40:56God damn it! How did this happen?
00:40:59Even my mom left!
00:41:00Even my mom left!
00:41:07Milo, don't worry. We'll find a way out of this.
00:41:10I'm sorry, Stella.
00:41:13You know I would never leave you.
00:41:16I just wanted my investment money back.
00:41:23Cain Hudson!
00:41:25You get over here now!
00:41:27Wait.
00:41:31Aren't you Eliza Reed?
00:41:33The Reed family heiress?
00:41:35I am indeed the Reed family heiress.
00:41:38And Cain Hudson's fiancée.
00:41:43Milo, go introduce yourself.
00:41:45She's loaded. Right up there with Ms. Montgomery.
00:41:46Ms. Reed, it's an absolute pleasure. I'm Milo Preston.
00:41:57You mean the genius behind the cutting edge cancer testing research?
00:42:03That's me.
00:42:05He's backed by the Montgomery group.
00:42:07Partnering with him might be my shot at finally landing that collaboration with the Montgomery's.
00:42:12Well, I've heard very impressive things about you.
00:42:15I would love to explore potential collaboration.
00:42:19I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:42:21And did you say Cain was your fiancée?
00:42:25Yes. Have you guys seen him?
00:42:28Oh, yes. He has a unique relationship with my ex-wife.
00:42:32He recently cancelled a one billion dollar investment because of her.
00:42:38What did you just say?
00:42:40He cancelled an investment because of your ex-wife?
00:42:47Yes. He even said he's going to marry her.
00:42:51I don't know what kind of spell that witch put on him.
00:42:55You two have been taken for fools.
00:42:58What?
00:43:01Ms. Reed, what do you mean we've been taken for fools?
00:43:04That investment was not from Cain at all.
00:43:07Cain's the one that organized this whole gala for me.
00:43:09It's not his money.
00:43:11It's insider information.
00:43:13For the past three years, your research has been all fast-tracked thanks to the quiet backing of the Montgomery group.
00:43:21What? The Montgomery group has been behind me the whole time?
00:43:24Exactly. The galas, the billion dollar investments, all Montgomery group.
00:43:32Oh, I knew it! A genius like me can't go unnoticed.
00:43:36So Cain and that conniving bitch Claire have been playing us this whole time.
00:43:40I won't let Cain call off our engagement that easily.
00:43:44Ms. Reed, if there's any way we can help, please, just say the word.
00:43:48You want your investment money back?
00:43:49Of course.
00:43:53But how?
00:43:54Go straight to the Montgomery group and expose Cain's lies.
00:44:05Boss, canceling Milo's investment like that? You sure the Montgomery group is going to let this slide?
00:44:11Look, I know what I'm doing, okay? I'll talk to their CEO myself.
00:44:14Mr. Hudson, I just heard about your move at the gala.
00:44:23Look, Mr. Duncan, let me explain.
00:44:25No need. We're fully behind you.
00:44:28Oh, you are?
00:44:30Of course. That is our CEO's decision.
00:44:34In fact, they want you to come by headquarters.
00:44:36They have a gift for you.
00:44:38I'll be there. Thank you.
00:44:40Ms. Montgomery, I've invited Cain to headquarters as you requested.
00:44:45Cain, don't be startled when you learn my real identity.
00:44:52Well, look at that. Now we don't have to deal with any backlash from the Montgomery group.
00:44:59Are you really going to toss me aside for some nobody?
00:45:03Eliza, we're done here.
00:45:08Don't you forget. Our engagement was arranged by your grandfather.
00:45:13I can marry whoever I want.
00:45:15Well, that may be true for ordinary people.
00:45:18But you and I both know how this game is played.
00:45:21Our lives have been planned for us since birth.
00:45:23Why are you even hesitating?
00:45:27Am I not as good as that front desk receptionist that you've become so smitten with?
00:45:34She has nothing to do with this.
00:45:36Are you defending her?
00:45:38Ecologic's current success is entirely attributed to the Reed family's support.
00:45:44So, are you refusing me for some lowly hotel receptionist?
00:45:50I'm thankful for everything that you did for me.
00:45:54Oh, go to hell!
00:45:56Your company would have gone bankrupt long ago if I wasn't there to support it!
00:46:05You know...
00:46:08Why won't you leave that woman?
00:46:11I'm your fiancé.
00:46:13And I'm what's best for you.
00:46:15You're not very convincing.
00:46:18You will be mine.
00:46:22Wow.
00:46:24This place really screams money.
00:46:26Thank you for getting me in here, Stella.
00:46:28Without you, I never would have been able to be here.
00:46:31Thanks to my uncle you can come anytime.
00:46:46I'm glad to have you by my side.
00:46:48Let me tell you some good news.
00:46:50Ms. Montgomery is returning to headquarters today.
00:46:54Maybe we can get my uncle to introduce us.
00:46:55Maybe we can get my uncle to introduce us.
00:46:57That'd be amazing.
00:46:59You've done more for me than Claire ever did.
00:47:01That bitch wouldn't even be able to get you these opportunities.
00:47:20Mary Klein, new CFO heard about your return and has prepared an expensive gift.
00:47:24You'd like to see you at once.
00:47:25I don't have time. Please declare.
00:47:27Understood.
00:47:28Is the $5 billion investment ready for Cain?
00:47:31It's ready. I'll go get it.
00:47:33I'll be right in.
00:47:34Cain, your loyalty is admirable.
00:47:37You have my unwavering support.
00:47:44Mr. Duncan, did Ms. Montgomery agree to meet me?
00:47:47She just got back and she's got a lot on her plate.
00:47:49Try some other time.
00:47:51Mrs. Montgomery asked me to get the investor agreement.
00:47:54If you grab it yourself, you might be able to meet her.
00:47:57I'd be happy to.
00:47:58Don't make any mistakes.
00:47:59It's a very important document.
00:48:01Uncle Harry, I'm here.
00:48:10You two are in luck.
00:48:12Our CEO has just set up a $5 billion investment agreement.
00:48:16It seems they're trying to make up with the little incident last night with Malik.
00:48:20$5 billion. For me? Is this real?
00:48:24For three years, Montgomery Group has been silently supporting you. This time, it's no different.
00:48:30Claire had to get involved. That bitch doesn't realize her little stunt got us even more investment money.
00:48:35Now that our CEO is back, you get a chance to meet them. Be polite. Make a good impression.
00:48:40Absolutely. Thank you for all your help. You know, when I'm successful, I won't forget your support.
00:48:47You two, wait here and we go get the investment agreement.
00:48:56So what if that bitch found another man? I'm going to be so rich, she's going to be begging to come back to me.
00:49:01The slut who sleeps her way to the top will never be a worthy opponent.
00:49:10Look what the cat dragged in. Still playing dress up, Claire?
00:49:18Well, at least I don't need a man to get me in the door.
00:49:21Stop bragging. This isn't Ecologix. Your new boy toy won't be able to save you here.
00:49:26I'm sorry, are you forgetting that you're the one who cheated with my husband?
00:49:30My husband?
00:49:31Milo.
00:49:33You took time out of your day to come here? Are you trying to get back with me? It's not going to work.
00:49:37Don't be so self-centered. I'm here because I have work to do.
00:49:41Oh, are you having an affair with the security guard?
00:49:48You're disgusting.
00:49:50I'm a VIP! Don't you dare touch me!
00:49:53You bitch! My Uncle Harry is CFO at Montgomery Group. I might just talk to him about you and you'll be fired.
00:49:58Wait. Harry Klein is your uncle?
00:50:01Yes. Are you scared?
00:50:04If Harry knew how you two have been treating me, you might actually fear him.
00:50:09Don't be ridiculous. We see through your lies.
00:50:12Didn't Cain humiliate you enough?
00:50:14We already know the truth. The real investor backing Milo is not Cain. It's the CEO of Montgomery Group.
00:50:19By the way, Ms. Montgomery already reinvested five billion dollars in my cancer testing research to make up for last night's loss.
00:50:28Really? I wasn't aware of that.
00:50:31Well, nobody cares about your lowly opinion.
00:50:33Milo, you're too stupid to deserve that investment.
00:50:36Once my research test results are out, I'm going to be a billionaire. And you'll realize how foolish you were to doubt me.
00:50:42Well, I heard that investment isn't even for you.
00:50:45The cancer testing research is cutting-edge technology. Who other than Milo deserves the five billion dollar investment?
00:50:52The five billion dollar investment is mine. I can give that money to whoever I want.
00:50:57You're saying it's yours? Are you trying to impersonate Ms. Montgomery?
00:51:00I don't need to impersonate her. I am her.
00:51:05Once my uncle arrives, we'll see if you're still willing to lie about who you are.
00:51:09Harry is my subordinate. He has to listen to what I have to say.
00:51:13Are you brain dead? No one is dumb enough to pretend to be the Montgomery Group's CEO while at headquarters.
00:51:19I didn't realize you started lying after our divorce. Do you know how ridiculous you look?
00:51:23Let me let you in on a little secret. That five billion dollar investment is a gift from the Montgomery Group to Kane.
00:51:31It has nothing to do with you.
00:51:34Stop lying. All my progress over the years has been thanks to the Montgomery Group's unwavering support.
00:51:41Why would they stop now? Especially for someone like Kane.
00:51:45Joke's on you. Because guess what? I'm Claire Montgomery. And I've been pulling the strings all along.
00:51:53Yeah, just because you have the same last name as her, doesn't mean you're even in the same class. Keep dreaming.
00:52:02I've already investigated you. You have no connection to the Montgomery Group. You're just a hotel receptionist.
00:52:09Security, kick her out.
00:52:17If you touch her again, you'll have to answer to me.
00:52:19Beat it.
00:52:20Understood?
00:52:21Who let you in here? This is Montgomery Group headquarters. Did you get permission? Get your filthy hands off me!
00:52:35Hey, I'm a major investment here at the Montgomery Group, alright? You can't touch me!
00:52:39Are you okay?
00:52:41Of course. This is my turf.
00:52:45Milo, your cancer testing research is a complete farce. Montgomery Group has already stopped investing in you.
00:52:52You don't understand the science behind it. The CFO's about to arrive. If you try and sabotage my agreement, I'll file a police report.
00:52:58Don't be naive. Montgomery Group has already cancelled all their investments in you.
00:53:04You're not going to fool me again! I secured the $5 billion investment and I'm going to use that money to bankrupt Ecologics.
00:53:11What's all the fuss?
00:53:13Just in time, my investment agreement arrives.
00:53:27Uncle Harry, what's that?
00:53:28Well, this is the investment agreement that Ms. Montgomery ordered for Milo.
00:53:32This is all the evidence I need.
00:53:34That agreement is not for Milo.
00:53:36What are you two doing here? Who invited you?
00:53:38I was invited by Mr. Duncan.
00:53:39So now you're lying to get more investment opportunities?
00:53:42He's not lying. I invited him.
00:53:44Under what authority do you have to invite him?
00:53:46Harry, she's just my ex-wife.
00:53:48She's been trying to sabotage my career because she's angry.
00:53:52She even said that this investment agreement is for Cain and not me.
00:53:55This investment agreement was prepared by our CEO's executive assistant.
00:53:59It's honestly none of your business.
00:54:01You don't have to believe me.
00:54:03Just let Cain open it.
00:54:05You'll see.
00:54:06If this doesn't work, we're screwed.
00:54:09Don't worry. You can open it.
00:54:12Oh, and, uh, Ben.
00:54:15I don't want anyone but Cain to have access to this agreement.
00:54:18I use the fingerprint scan that we have on file, so he's the only one who can unlock the documents.
00:54:25I'll give you guys one chance to open it.
00:54:27If you can't, then I'll report you to the cops.
00:54:31What are you waiting for?
00:54:33Open it.
00:54:34I don't know how to open it.
00:54:38What if it doesn't open it?
00:54:40This is Montgomery Group's gift to you.
00:54:43You can open it.
00:54:45He can't open it.
00:54:47Only someone supported by the Montgomery Group can open the briefcase.
00:54:51Watch.
00:54:53I can open it.
00:54:55You can try.
00:54:56Occultication denied.
00:54:58Impossible.
00:55:00Oh, Harry, what's going on?
00:55:01It must be broken.
00:55:03Now let's have Cain try.
00:55:05He can't open it.
00:55:07Trust me, Cain.
00:55:08You can open it.
00:55:09Okay.
00:55:10There's nothing.
00:55:12I can't open it.
00:55:14I can't open it.
00:55:16Oh, Harry, what's going on?
00:55:17It must be broken.
00:55:18Now let's have Cain try.
00:55:20He can't open it.
00:55:22Trust me, Cain.
00:55:24You can open it.
00:55:26It's nothing.
00:55:41For three years, Malo has been the protege of the Montgomery Group's CEO.
00:55:47This investment agreement was meant for him.
00:55:50No one else can open the briefcase.
00:55:51And what if Cain can open it?
00:55:55Then I'll resign.
00:55:57I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.
00:56:00Cain, go ahead.
00:56:12Authentication successful.
00:56:21How did this happen?
00:56:23Impossible.
00:56:25It's been tampered with!
00:56:27Ben sent this password.
00:56:28How did Cain open it?
00:56:30Take a look inside.
00:56:39Milo, it seems this agreement doesn't mention you anywhere.
00:56:43I guess Montgomery Group had no intention of investing in you after all.
00:56:51Harry, what's going on?
00:56:59The fingerprint scanner must be broken.
00:57:03Return that immediately.
00:57:05That is my gift to Cain.
00:57:06I don't care how you open the briefcase.
00:57:09You clearly have no authority to take the agreement.
00:57:12What is this ruckus in my building?
00:57:18What is this ruckus in my building?
00:57:24It's Montgomery Group Headquarters, not a nightclub.
00:57:27Sorry, Mr. Duncan. I don't know how Claren Cain managed to open the briefcase.
00:57:32Mr. Duncan, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Milo Preston.
00:57:36You're the kid who developed the new cancer testing research?
00:57:40Yes. Yes. All thanks to the support of the Montgomery Group.
00:57:44And you're aware of all of the backing that Montgomery Group has provided for you?
00:57:48Yes. Yes. And can I say what an honor it is to be supported by such a prestigious company.
00:57:52Did you hear that pitch?
00:57:56Mr. Duncan just acknowledged that Milo is a favorite around here.
00:58:01Cain.
00:58:04Go call your team and inform them of the investment.
00:58:07Are you sure?
00:58:09I can handle this.
00:58:11I'll be back.
00:58:16Milo, take this.
00:58:18This is a gift from the Montgomery Group.
00:58:23I can't believe it.
00:58:26I've never received a $5 billion investment agreement before.
00:58:30Mr. Duncan, please, thank the Montgomery's for me.
00:58:34And I promise I'll finish my cancer testing research.
00:58:41Montgomery Group resources are not meant for lowlifes like you to do as you please.
00:58:45What the hell?
00:58:49I'm sorry. Here is the $5 billion agreement you asked me to prepare.
00:58:54Ms. Montgomery.
00:58:56Ms. Montgomery?!
00:59:00No, Mr. Duncan, you don't understand. This is just a disgruntled ex-wife.
00:59:04Idiot.
00:59:08I'll give you a chance to meet Ms. Montgomery and this is how you treat her with such disrespect.
00:59:14What are you talking about?
00:59:16Are you...?
00:59:18Sen, I don't ever want to see this person again.
00:59:23Escort him out.
00:59:26Wait, Ms. Montgomery, I didn't know. I'm sorry. I...
00:59:35Stop, you little shit! You ruined me!
00:59:42Mr. Duncan, I think there's a misunderstanding here.
00:59:46This bitch...
00:59:48This woman...
00:59:51Is just a regular hotel worker.
00:59:54Alright, she has no authority here.
00:59:57You are so dense.
00:59:59The $5 billion investment money was given to me by the CEO of the Montgomery Group.
01:00:04Are you really gonna go against their will for Claire?
01:00:07I'm not going against their will and I will remind you that your ex-wife is a public figure, so I would warn you to be very careful.
01:00:13No, she's not! She's an ordinary woman that nobody wants!
01:00:21Piss off!
01:00:23Claire...
01:00:25Who are you?
01:00:27I've already told you!
01:00:30Ben, please see our guests out.
01:00:35Don't touch me!
01:00:38We'll see ourselves out.
01:00:39Don't regret this.
01:00:52What's going on here?
01:00:55Well...
01:00:57This is a gift from Ben.
01:01:02A gift from Ben?
01:01:03Yes, originally the investment was intended for Milo.
01:01:13However, my CEO thought that his cancer testing research might be fake.
01:01:20So I took it upon myself to discuss with Ms. Montgomery about Milo's research.
01:01:28There's no way to detect blood cancer from a single drop of blood.
01:01:34So, I recommended your renewable energy projects to Ben for investment.
01:01:40I am grateful to Montgomery Group for your trust in me.
01:01:44You won't regret it.
01:01:45Please see...
01:01:46Please see...
01:01:47Please see...
01:01:53Uh, Ben?
01:01:55Are you...
01:01:57forgetting something?
01:02:00Yes.
01:02:02This is an invitation to a gala celebrating the return of our mystery CEO.
01:02:06And for me?
01:02:07For me, you're sure? Absolutely. It's at our CEO's request.
01:02:14Please thank the CEO for this. Wow.
01:02:19Claire, would you like to be my plus one to the gala?
01:02:24Sure, why not?
01:02:31Ms. Montgomery, why have you not revealed your true identity to Kane?
01:02:34I need to make sure he doesn't have any red flags first.
01:02:38But I can't handle another Milo.
01:02:42Why is Ben helping her so much?
01:02:45Declare, give him something? He listened to her like she had authority over him.
01:02:49Don't forget how manipulative she can be.
01:02:52You think she's manipulating him?
01:02:54She must be. Otherwise, why would Ben be cooperating with her so much?
01:02:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe you're right.
01:03:04So, did you get the investment?
01:03:09No.
01:03:10Kane took it before I could.
01:03:12You're an idiot!
01:03:15It's fine.
01:03:16We still have a chance.
01:03:19The Montgomery Group CEO is hosting a gala the day after tomorrow night.
01:03:23And I have secured our entry.
01:03:26So, when the time comes, you will cooperate with me.
01:03:30I want Kane to understand that leaving me was a mistake.
01:03:36Well, how?
01:03:41I want to see what happens.
01:03:44Why is that chair so different?
01:03:56It's the Montgomery throne.
01:03:58Whoever sits there will influence America's economy for the next 30 years.
01:04:01We'll never have that kind of power.
01:04:03I heard the CEO's in their 20s.
01:04:05Do they really have what it takes to lead Montgomery Group?
01:04:08The company's success is all they're doing.
01:04:10No one can replace them.
01:04:11Meeting the CEO is actually on my bucket list.
01:04:14Today's a rare opportunity.
01:04:15I have to leave a good impression.
01:04:29Who is she?
01:04:30I can't believe we're at such a high-end party to watch Milo's ex-wife show off.
01:04:45Stella, I could bankrupt you in a night.
01:04:49I'll kick you out.
01:04:50The Montgomery CEO is about to sit upon their throne.
01:04:53And Milo will expose your scheme to embezzle the investment money.
01:04:57You'll go to jail.
01:04:58I already told you.
01:05:01I am Miss Longo.
01:05:05You're a joke!
01:05:07Just a loser living in your own little fantasy world!
01:05:12Someone get this slut out of here!
01:05:15She's not invited!
01:05:16I agree.
01:05:17The CEO is arriving soon.
01:05:19Don't let this trash ruin the event.
01:05:21Get her out!
01:05:22Well, if I leave, then you all have no reason to be here.
01:05:25Someone get this bitch out of here!
01:05:27She's not invited!
01:05:30Who said she's not invited?
01:05:32Who said Claire doesn't have an invite?
01:05:43I have it right here.
01:05:47Let me guess.
01:05:48Ben gave you that invite?
01:05:50It's a genuine invite.
01:05:55I don't doubt that it's real.
01:05:59The question is, how does a broke loser like Claire convince Ben to customize one for her?
01:06:04Let me answer that for you.
01:06:08It's because Claire is Ben's little plaything.
01:06:13Claire, don't let him rally you up.
01:06:15I'm a genius.
01:06:18The Montgomerys analyze that both believe in me and my revolutionary cancer testing research.
01:06:24I have millions in patents.
01:06:27I'm going to be so wealthy, you can't even imagine.
01:06:31You can't compete.
01:06:34Be careful what type of men you choose, Claire.
01:06:37You can't count on Cain and Ben to save you when the real CEO arrives.
01:06:41Instead of worrying about me,
01:06:43you should focus on yourself.
01:06:48Your little game is finished.
01:06:51And your days of prosperity are coming to an end.
01:06:55Well, at least I won't have to look at your old wrinkly face every day.
01:07:02You disgust me.
01:07:04Well, then you better not beg for my forgiveness once you find out who I really am.
01:07:11Let me be straight with you.
01:07:13Eliza's connected me with two of the major shareholders of the Montgomery Group.
01:07:19They're partners with the CEO.
01:07:20So even Ben, reckless as he is, can't disobey their orders.
01:07:25And now that I have both the CEO and the two shareholders on my side,
01:07:29how long do you think Cain and Ben can protect you?
01:07:34You'll be begging me to take you back.
01:07:38You know what your biggest problem is?
01:07:40You take yourself way too seriously.
01:07:43Eliza's meeting with the shareholders as we speak.
01:07:46You and old man Ben's embezzlement of my investment funds is going to face justice.
01:07:52What did you say?
01:07:55Ben embezzled the $5 billion investment?
01:07:58Exactly.
01:08:00Ben already handed over the funds to Cain.
01:08:03Has Ben lost his mind?
01:08:05How dare he misappropriate the funds while our CEO is away?
01:08:08Derek, we need to clean house for our CEO's return.
01:08:11Cain, you think your business is safe?
01:08:16If you want ecologics to keep running, you'll have to marry me.
01:08:24Claire, what do you have hiding up your sleeve?
01:08:28What's wrong, Cain?
01:08:29Starting to doubt the Montgomery Group would invest $5 billion in you?
01:08:33If you admit your mistake, tear up the agreement Claire gave you, I'd be willing to tell the authorities you were coerced.
01:08:45God, you will say anything, won't you?
01:08:47This is your last chance, Cain.
01:08:56I trust Claire.
01:08:57Cain, don't you ever think about what you are doing.
01:09:05You are an idiot.
01:09:09You are just a pawn in Claire's sick little game.
01:09:13Do you really think that you're going to get that investment?
01:09:19Hey, my business is none of your concern.
01:09:22Wake up!
01:09:23Claire seduced you into accepting that $5 billion just so that she could drain it and disappear.
01:09:32But Cain, don't worry.
01:09:35I will clean this whole mess up.
01:09:38Just as long as you promise to leave that woman.
01:09:41Don't insult Claire again or you'll regret it.
01:09:45Fine.
01:09:46If that's how you want to do this.
01:09:49But don't blame me when I pull all of my investments.
01:09:52And when ecologics is in crisis, don't come begging.
01:09:58Well, there's no need to worry about that.
01:10:02Cain has already received a $5 billion investment from the Montgomery Group.
01:10:08So, he doesn't need your money anymore.
01:10:12So, you're Claire.
01:10:14You think you can steal Cain from me?
01:10:19Over my dead body.
01:10:22Cain and I have the freedom to marry whoever we want.
01:10:26You are just a hotel receptionist.
01:10:31Cain is way out of your league.
01:10:33As am I.
01:10:34Whether I'm a hotel receptionist or a CEO.
01:10:44I have the freedom to do what makes me happy.
01:10:48What?
01:10:48What are you doing?
01:10:50Get away.
01:10:51Get away from there.
01:10:52You are going to get your filth all over the Montgomery Throne.
01:11:02This throne...
01:11:05is mine.
01:11:10She's lost it!
01:11:11She actually sat on the Montgomery Throne!
01:11:14Get down from there right now!
01:11:16Please, this is the CEO's seat.
01:11:20We're going to get in trouble.
01:11:23Relax.
01:11:24I've got you covered.
01:11:27No one will mess with you here.
01:11:31You all heard that, right?
01:11:35This is who your energy king admires.
01:11:40Not only did she convince Cain to embezzle funds,
01:11:44but now she's impersonating Ms. Montgomery.
01:11:48She's got some nerve.
01:11:50On the day of our CEO's gala, no less.
01:11:52You are such a fraud.
01:11:56You know, impersonating Ms. Montgomery and embezzling funds
01:11:59are both very serious crimes.
01:12:02I have the shareholders on their way right now to expose you.
01:12:05You know, in the five years since I founded the Montgomery Group,
01:12:12I've faced thousands of challenges.
01:12:15Your little tricks don't be easy.
01:12:17Hey!
01:12:19Who's causing all this noise?
01:12:22Gentlemen, there is a woman here
01:12:24who is impersonating Ms. Montgomery.
01:12:27But don't worry, I'm about to have her kicked out.
01:12:30Who's impersonating Ms. Montgomery?
01:12:33Hi, Sam.
01:12:34Hi, Derek.
01:12:40Long time no see.
01:12:43Eliza, is she the one you're claiming
01:12:46is impersonating Ms. Montgomery?
01:12:48Uh, yes.
01:12:50Somehow, she convinced Ben
01:12:52to embezzle the $5 billion that was meant for Milo.
01:12:55Please, help me get my investment back
01:12:59and punish her.
01:13:01Shut up.
01:13:01There's got to be some kind of mistake here.
01:13:09She's the imposter!
01:13:12I know exactly who she is.
01:13:14Greetings, Ms. Montgomery.
01:13:16What?
01:13:24Claire is Ms. Montgomery.
01:13:27Listen up.
01:13:30This is Ms. Montgomery
01:13:32of Montgomery Group.
01:13:34The richest person on the continent.
01:13:40Disrespect her.
01:13:41And you're going against the entire company.
01:13:45Claire, what's going on?
01:13:48Are you really the CEO?
01:13:49I should have told you sooner, Kane,
01:13:52but past experiences made me cautious.
01:13:58But now I can confidently say to you,
01:14:01I am Claire Montgomery,
01:14:04CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:14:06The CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:14:07The CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:14:08Impossible.
01:14:10She can't be the CEO.
01:14:13She's just a hotel worker.
01:14:15A woman I left behind!
01:14:17Watch your mouth.
01:14:19I won't hesitate to bury you myself.
01:14:21Why didn't you tell me you were the CEO?
01:14:33I told you the funds were for me.
01:14:36That your success was built on my resources.
01:14:39Did you believe me?
01:14:41No.
01:14:43I don't want to see this person anymore.
01:14:46I'm sorry.
01:14:47Okay, I was wrong.
01:14:52Please take me back.
01:14:54Let's start over.
01:14:55Milo, you're choosing her over me?
01:14:58Shut up!
01:15:00You've ruined me.
01:15:02This is all your fault.
01:15:05Claire,
01:15:07my cancer testing research is just about to launch.
01:15:09Please, please,
01:15:10there's going to be huge returns.
01:15:11Please, take me back.
01:15:17Here's the feasibility report for your research.
01:15:26It's a scam.
01:15:28A dream you've spun for yourself.
01:15:33It's over.
01:15:36Milo Preston.
01:15:37You're under arrest for fraud and illegally obtaining funds.
01:15:45You've been a renowned entrepreneur with Claire.
01:15:49I threw it all away.
01:15:51Yeah, you two are going to wait for a really long time.
01:15:54Come on.
01:15:54I thought that you were willing to throw it all away for your so-called freedom.
01:16:07But turns out you were just in it for the money.
01:16:09Your understanding of love is shallow.
01:16:18Wealth is the least of Claire's qualities.
01:16:22She's kind, optimistic.
01:16:25She treats everyone equal, regardless of their status and their wealth.
01:16:31That's what I love most about her.
01:16:32So you're saying I don't have any redeeming qualities?
01:16:38Everyone has redeeming qualities, including you.
01:16:42But love is to surrender free will.
01:16:47Love is...
01:16:50simply love.
01:16:54Kane, I've never heard you talk that way about anybody.
01:16:59Oh, well.
01:17:01I give up.
01:17:02Love is the most important thing in a marriage, and
01:17:06it's obvious that you two have that.
01:17:14Allow me to reintroduce myself.
01:17:19Kane Hudson.
01:17:20Stanford grad.
01:17:22Founder of Ecologics.
01:17:26Claire Montgomery.
01:17:29CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:17:30Well, time is of the essence.
01:17:34I never wanted to go along with the arranged marriage my grandfather planned.
01:17:38I choose to marry the woman I truly love.
01:17:40Miss Montgomery.
01:17:41Will you marry me?
01:17:42Well, Mr. Hudson.
01:17:43Only there were roses here.
01:17:44I might actually consider it.
01:17:56I might actually consider it.
01:17:57Surprise!
01:17:58I made it happen.
01:18:03Surprise!
01:18:04I made it happen.
01:18:09You may not kiss your bride.
01:18:15You may not kiss your bride.
01:18:18I thank you.
01:18:19Yeah.
