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

00:51:59Ah!
00:52:00Ah!
00:52:01Ah!
00:52:02Ah!
00:52:03Ah!
00:52:04Ah!
00:52:05Ah!
00:52:06Ah!
00:52:07Ah!
00:52:08Ah!
00:52:09Ah!
00:52:10Ah!
00:52:11Ah!

00:52:17Ah!
00:52:18Ah!
00:52:19Ah!
00:52:20That's right!
00:52:22Deep girl, I see!
00:52:36Filthy slut!
00:52:38You make me sick!
00:52:50It came from over there!
00:52:52Let's go!
00:52:57The Mayor's family is finished.
00:53:08Shame.
00:53:09Should've been a kill shot.
00:53:13You just burnt your last bridge.
00:53:15You will regret this.
00:53:18I'm just punishing a couple troublemakers.
00:53:21Is that a crime?
00:53:24Now, it's just you and me.
00:53:26Don't worry.
00:53:27I can treat you better than John ever could.
00:53:44Do you have another nightmare?
00:53:46Yeah.
00:53:47I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:53:48You know I will always be here to protect you, right?
00:53:52I'm so sorry, you have to cover that.
00:54:00Mom.
00:54:01This time, I'll protect you.
00:54:04It's your fault that we're in this mess.
00:54:15Just marry my brother like a good little girl and we'll let your mother go!
00:54:19Yeah, we offered you a better life and this is how you repay us.
00:54:23Some people just need their gratitude beaten into them.
00:54:28Please, I'm begging you.
00:54:30Don't hurt my mom.
00:54:31Let her go and I'll marry Gregory, I swear!
00:54:35Well, that's better.
00:54:38Ew!
00:54:38Ugh!
00:54:39Ugh, you've had your fun.
00:54:49Wrap it up.
00:54:50Such a shame.
00:54:52Such a shame, hmm?
00:54:53I was just getting started.
00:54:54When I'm done with you, you're gonna regret you were ever born.
00:54:59Still making threats?
00:55:00An old hag like you should be grateful I even want to touch you.
00:55:04If Brittany hadn't interrupted,
00:55:10we'd be having some real fun right now.
00:55:12Having fun with who?
00:55:31Who is he?
00:55:32That's some entrance.
00:55:34Look at those clothes.
00:55:35Must be connected to the mayor.
00:55:39Oh, my sweetheart.
00:55:42Is...
00:55:52Is that really Miss Miller?
00:55:54Brett quit the entourage, baby.
00:55:57All this back up just your little old me?
00:56:00Brittany, you don't understand.
00:56:02This is, um...
00:56:03Alexander Miller.
00:56:04I didn't think you'd come here yourself.
00:56:06Alexander who?
00:56:08Alexander Miller?
00:56:10That's Alexander Miller?
00:56:12Miss Miller's son?
00:56:18Shit.
00:56:19That's Alexander Miller?
00:56:20He's even dreamier in person.
00:56:22Sir, that woman is delusional.
00:56:26She claims she's your mother, the CEO of Phoenix Crew.
00:56:28Sir, it's my son's wedding today.
00:56:30We would be honored if you could attend the reception.
00:56:32After you meet with the real Miss Miller.
00:56:34It's an honor to meet you, sir.
00:56:36I'm Sean's girlfriend, the mayor's daughter.
00:56:38You can call me Brittany.
00:56:39If you need anything in this town, my family's at your service.
00:56:42Ah!
00:56:43Brittany, shut up.
00:56:44What?
00:56:45It's not every day you meet the Alexander Miller.
00:56:46Also, think about it.
00:56:47If Miss Miller comes to my brother's wedding party too, we'll be the talk of the town.
00:56:52If you want to invite my mother to your party, why don't you ask her yourself?
00:56:53Oh, what a brilliant idea.
00:56:54If you would be so kind as to lead us to her.
00:56:55There's no need for that.
00:56:56My mother is here right now.
00:56:57Where is she?
00:57:02I was on the other side of my side and his family.
00:57:15There is no need for that.
00:57:23Oh, where is she?
00:57:29Sir, are you playing some kind of trick on us?
00:57:32I don't see Miss Miller anywhere.
00:57:34I would certainly recognize her if she was in my town.
00:57:37Well, of course he would.
00:57:39Nothing happens here without the mayor knowing about it.
00:57:42Are you suggesting I wouldn't recognize my own mother?
00:57:48If what you're saying is true, when did she come to our town?
00:57:52Fifteen years ago.
00:57:53My mother came here to live in seclusion after she stepped down as the Phoenix CEO.
00:58:00Fifteen years ago?
00:58:02That's not possible.
00:58:10I'm so sorry it took so long, Mother.
00:58:15Come here, my son.
00:58:18You've gotten so old.
00:58:21I missed you.
00:58:22You're a beautiful man now.
00:58:34Phoenix Group CEO?
00:58:37Impossible.
00:58:42She's really Miss Miller?
00:58:44Phoenix Group CEO?
00:58:45There has to be some mistake.
00:58:49She's nothing but a filthy woman who works for the orphanage.
00:58:53That beggar could not possibly be the real Miss Miller.
00:58:59Miss Miller, please excuse my girlfriend's disgraceful behavior.
00:59:05I take full responsibility.
00:59:07Punish me as you see fit.
00:59:08Her adoptive mother is the famous Miss Miller?
00:59:12what have we done

01:01:02Ms. Miller, we were wrong.
01:01:09We'll never do anything like this again.
01:01:12Please, have mercy.
01:01:15Forgive us, just this once.
01:01:17You all tortured people for years.
01:01:21If I was to forgive you, you would go on and continue to hurt innocent people.
01:01:26Take them away.
01:01:27Deal with them accordingly.
01:01:30Take them away!
01:01:30Wait, what? No, I...
01:01:33Where do you think you're going?
01:01:42I am not done with you two.
01:01:46What are you planning on doing with these two?
01:01:49You two wanted this house so badly.
01:01:52Burn it down.
01:01:53You don't deserve it.
01:01:55You heard my mother.
01:01:56Burn it down, now!
01:01:57Yes, sir.
01:02:01You heard my mother.
01:02:14Gun be loud as your mother.
01:02:17Mother.
01:02:19Mother.
01:02:19Mother, please.
01:02:20Mother! Mother, please!
01:02:29For your children, Anna!
01:02:41All these years in seclusion, I gave you everything, and yet all you wanted was for me to die?
01:02:48Really? You've really shown your true colors. And you know what? Now you never have to call me Mother again.
01:03:02And you?
01:03:03You're not off the hook. I'll deal with you later.
01:03:08Yes, Miss Mother.
01:03:10My dear, somebody very special I want to introduce you to.
01:03:18Grace, this is my son, Alexander.
01:03:21It's an honor to meet you, sir.
01:03:23Please, you're my sister now. There's no need for formalities.
01:03:28Mother, I've arranged a welcome banquet for you at the Cloud Peak Restaurant.
01:03:33What better occasion to introduce my daughter to the whole world?
01:03:39The future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:03:42It's a historical day for the Phoenix Group.
01:03:49The city must know. Our CEO is back.
01:03:53I'll send out the invitations.
01:04:02Is that your boyfriend? The one that was studying abroad?
01:04:05Yes. He promised me when he came back home that he would propose to me.
01:04:12I'm expecting him to pop the question any time now.
01:04:15That's wonderful.
01:04:17Take the call, but why don't you also invite him to the banquet tonight, okay?
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:25Hi.
01:04:27Cloud Peak Restaurant. Yeah, I can meet you there.
01:04:30There's, um, actually something important I need to tell you.
01:05:00Who's that beautiful young woman?
01:05:10She must be someone important to be at Phoenix Group's banquet tonight.
01:05:18Nathan!
01:05:26Victoria?
01:05:27Long time no see, bestie.
01:05:35What's going on here?
01:05:37What does it look like?
01:05:40Best friend and I are together now.
01:05:46But you promised me you'd give me a ring when you came back.
01:05:49Oh, he did get a ring.
01:05:52Just not for you, loser.
01:05:53I'm shocked to see our son engage with someone worthy of him.
01:06:00A proper match.
01:06:01At last.
01:06:03Unlike you and your useless poor mother who can't possibly help him in his career.
01:06:09That's right.
01:06:10My mother's a secretary at Phoenix Group.
01:06:13And she got Nathan the regional manager position at the company.
01:06:15Things change when you have the right connections.
01:06:19Isn't that right, sweetie?
01:06:23So that's why you chose my best friend over me?
01:06:26How could you both do this to me?
01:06:28Shut your mouth.
01:06:29Shut your mouth.
01:06:33Oh, honey.
01:06:35Save yourself the humiliation and leave.
01:06:38You don't belong here.
01:06:39You don't belong here.
01:06:49Everything's set.
01:06:50The city's most powerful leader here to meet Grace.
01:06:52Grace.
01:07:07Grace deserves this moment.
01:07:09After tonight, everyone will know that she's the heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:07:13Thanks.
01:07:20Wait, what?
01:07:21Someone's causing trouble to my sister.
01:07:26Did you honestly think you could compete with me?
01:07:30You're just the daughter of some poor crazy woman who can't even walk.
01:07:36And that dress.
01:07:38What'd you do?
01:07:39Steal it?
01:07:40Trash like you could never afford a dress like that.
01:07:42You probably borrowed it to pretend she's not poor.
01:07:46Just like her mother, pretending to be someone she's not.
01:07:49Let me return it to whatever store you stole it from!
01:07:59Mom!
01:08:10Don't worry, sweetheart.
01:08:12Your mother will always protect you now, okay?
01:08:13How dare you throw wine on my future daughter-in-law!
01:08:14How disgusting!
01:08:15This is why poor people like her have no business at events like this.
01:08:18And who might you be?
01:08:19I'm Nathan's father, Bill Carter.
01:08:20And I am his mother, Helen.
01:08:22So your son is the young man that my daughter was interested in?
01:08:26Just as I suspect.
01:08:27He's not worthy of my daughter.
01:08:28Who are you to talk down to my son like that?
01:08:29Who are you to talk down to my son like that?
01:08:30Our son is the perfect match any girl could hope for.
01:08:32How disgusting!
01:08:33How disgusting!
01:08:34This is why poor people like her have no business at events like this.
01:08:35And who might you be?
01:08:36I'm Nathan's father, Bill Carter.
01:08:37And I am his mother, Helen.
01:08:38So your son is the young man that my daughter was interested in?
01:08:41Just as I suspect.
01:08:42He's not worthy of my daughter.
01:08:43Who are you to talk down to my son like that?
01:08:44Our son is the perfect match any girl could hope for.
01:08:57Oh.
01:08:58Really?
01:09:08The three heirs of the largest corporation?
01:09:10Only Phoenix Group is above them.
01:09:13What are they doing here?
01:09:18I'm James Bryan from the Sterling International Group.
01:09:21It's an honor to meet you, Grace.
01:09:23Grace, would you be honored to meet me at the dinner bar sometimes?
01:09:27I would love to take a travel with me when you can.
01:09:30My schedule is completely open.
01:09:32I...
01:09:33Sweetheart, don't be afraid.
01:09:36You really do deserve someone better.
01:09:39Grace, these are some of the finest young men in the city.
01:09:43And if none of them are to your desire, they're CEOs, they're entrepreneurs, and they're architects eager to meet you.
01:09:50What's going on?
01:09:52Why are all these rich men surrounding trash like you?
01:09:55You pathetic whore!
01:09:57Since when do you know people with real money?
01:10:00You manipulative little slut!
01:10:03What other secrets are you hiding?
01:10:05How are you hiding?
01:10:08You think you're good enough to touch my sister?
01:10:13Did you just say...
01:10:15Sister?
01:10:17I thought you said she was an orphan!
01:10:20How can she be Alexander's sister?
01:10:24Alexander, surely there's been some sort of mistake.
01:10:28And who exactly do you think you are to question me?
01:10:33Alexander, you must be confused.
01:10:35Grace is nothing but a worthless orphan.
01:10:40It's true!
01:10:41She's nothing but trash!
01:10:45She's garbage!
01:10:46Nothing but garbage!
01:10:47Who?
01:10:56Who are you?
01:11:01Since you're so desperate to find out who my daughter is...
01:11:05You, you'll find out soon enough.
01:11:08And you!
01:11:10You will see exactly what you threw away.
01:11:12Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the CEO of Phoenix Group, Ms. Miller!
01:11:42She...
01:11:44She...
01:11:45She...
01:11:46She can't be!
01:11:48The...
01:11:49Really...
01:11:50The CEO of the Phoenix Group?
01:11:51Of the Phoenix Group?
01:11:56Thank you all for coming this evening.
01:11:59During my absence, I worked the hardest, most low-paying job.
01:12:05I wanted to understand the struggle of the less fortunate.
01:12:08What I ended up finding was something unexpected.
01:12:12I found a daughter with a heart of gold.
01:12:16Tonight, I am proud to introduce the future heiress of the Phoenix Group.
01:12:22You worthless bitch! This is all your fault!
01:12:26You made me betray Grace!
01:12:29Don't blame me because you threw away someone important!
01:12:34Grace...
01:12:35Please.
01:12:36I never cared about her. I always loved you.
01:12:39Just give me another chance. I'll prove myself worthy.
01:12:44Alexander.
01:12:50Your sister is both kind and wise.
01:12:53You need to trust that she'll do the right thing.
01:12:59Grace, Victoria deceived us all.
01:13:02Our son truly cares for you.
01:13:04Give him one more chance.
01:13:06Yes, Grace. You and Nathan have history.
01:13:09If you become our daughter-in-law, we'll treat you like our own.
01:13:13When you thought my mom and I were nothing, you treated us like dirt.
01:13:18And then you stood by and watched while Nathan betrayed me and humiliated my mother.
01:13:24Grace, I was wrong. I mean, even my parents see it now.
01:13:27It will never, ever happen again. I swear.
01:13:31You're only sorry because of who I am now.
01:13:34Yes, I once had feelings for you.
01:13:38But that's over.
01:13:40I never want to see you again.
01:13:42You think you're above me now?
01:13:46Pay me 100 million dollars or else everyone finds out how you really became the Phoenix Gruberis.
01:13:58By sleeping with your own adoptive brother.
01:14:07How dare you? That's a lie!
01:14:09Truth doesn't matter. My mother is a PR manager at Phoenix Group.
01:14:13She can forge all the proof we need. The press will eat it up.
01:14:18And I'll back every word of it.
01:14:21After all, I am regional manager at Phoenix Group.
01:14:25Just pay us the money. The Phoenix Group has the money.
01:14:29Or watch your reputation crumble.
01:14:32Is your mother's name Sarah Bell?
01:14:35She's the PR manager for Phoenix Group, right?
01:14:38So what old hag?
01:14:39She clearly didn't know how to teach you manners.
01:14:45So I guess she's fired.
01:14:49What? You can't do that!
01:14:52You and your two families can take your stuff and get out of the city.
01:14:57You're going to have a very hard time finding any work here.
01:15:02Please have mercy on my son.
01:15:05He's a foolish boy. He doesn't know what he's doing.
01:15:10Take them away.
01:15:12I do not want to see them in the city again.
01:15:16Yes, Ms. Miller.
01:15:19Wait.
01:15:21No, no, don't touch me!
01:15:22Grace!
01:15:23Grace!
01:15:29Sweetheart, don't let his cruelty spoil this evening.
01:15:33This moment, it is yours.
01:15:36They can't hurt me anymore, Mom.
01:15:39Not with you by my side.
01:15:41My sweet daughter.
01:15:43You, you stuck by me when I was sick.
01:15:47And I almost died and you never gave up on me.
01:15:51And you gave me hope and strength.
01:15:54You gave me so much more.
01:15:56You gave me love when I thought I would never know what that would feel like.
01:16:00And you rescued me and you gave me a family.
01:16:07Tonight, I want everyone to see who you really are.
01:16:12You're kind, compassionate, brilliant, unbreakable.
01:16:16And I mean no one will ever speak down to you again.
01:16:22I don't need the world's approval, Mom.
01:16:25I have everything I could ever want right here.
01:16:28My sweet daughter.
01:16:29My sweet daughter.
01:16:34Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make.
01:16:40Not only will my mother be coming back.
01:16:43As the CEO, I'm proud to announce as well.
01:16:46That my sister, Grace, will be joining our team at the Phoenix Group.
