The Billionaire Accidental Bride
Episode 209-211
Transcript
00:009. Surprise!
00:02The angry mob waited outside the airport for two hours with no sign of Emma.
00:10Finally, they figured she'd either returned early or snuck out.
00:14They started calling her a cheap, sneaky model in response.
00:19It was hard to understand these people's mentality.
00:23Did they really think she was stupid enough to walk right into an ambush?
00:28They truly believed only the guilty hid from judgment, and none of them thought to ferret out the truth.
00:36The crowd headed to H-World after Emma's no-show and surrounded the building,
00:42demanding to know where Emma was, though none of the employees had seen her.
00:48One of the employees finally told them that they would be making an announcement later that afternoon and asked for their patience.
00:56The crowd continued to yell out in anger.
01:00If H-World continues to protect Emma, we'll boycott them until they close down.
01:05We know the industry is dirty, but we hope you care more about punishing horrible people like Emma than your bottom line.
01:14Anyone who goes into hiding deserves to spend the rest of their life in the dark.
01:20Eric held a meeting with Kaleidoscope's board and told everyone that he prepared a contract and would be signing Emma.
01:28The board members looked at each other,
01:30surprised that the same man who rejected artists over the smallest things would sign Emma.
01:38Sir, I'm sure you're aware of how her latest incident has stirred up New York.
01:43Why would you allow someone like that in Kaleidoscope?
01:48Eric gave the staff member a piercing stare before replying,
01:52How did you get into management? Is this your first day on the job?
01:58Last I checked, we do our own research.
02:01We don't rely on outside gossip. If that's the type of person you are, then you can voice your opinion from the
02:10unemployment line. Is that what you want?
02:13He waited until the staff member shook his head before continuing,
02:18I want you to write a 30,000 word report on the consequences of your actions, and I want it on my desk in the morning.
02:27Understood?
02:28The man nodded, too afraid to make a sound.
02:32As for the others, they had worked with him for years and understood his methods.
02:38There was no way he would sign Emma if the rumors about her were true.
02:44We trust your decision, sir, some of the other board members said.
02:49Everyone else expressed their support.
02:52Most of them had seen her on the runway and were impressed by her.
02:56Many of them had considered asking him to poach her a while ago,
03:01but they were afraid he would reject her thanks to everything she'd been through lately.
03:06They never imagined that he would decide to sign her himself,
03:12especially in the midst of this latest scandal.
03:15Good, then it's decided.
03:18Louise, please stay.
03:20Everyone else is dismissed, Eric said.
03:24The higher-ups slowly got up and left the meeting room while Louise stayed behind.
03:30Eric handed over the information Luke had prepared and put him in charge of organizing the press conference.
03:37After flipping through the contract in his hands, Louise froze and said,
03:42Sir, her manager is...
03:45I want to manage her personally. Do you have a problem with that? He asked.
03:51I don't want anyone to know about it, not even Emma. I'll tell her on my own time.
03:58Louise didn't understand why he would give her such special treatment.
04:03But before he could say anything, Eric, sensing his doubt, answered his silent query.
04:11She's worth it.
04:14I understand, sir, and I will handle it. Don't worry, Louise said.
04:19Louise discovered everything that had happened to Emma while she was with H-World as he looked through the compiled information.
04:27He didn't understand how Eric had found the information, though.
04:32Unless he's been involved from the start, he thought.
04:36Either way, H-World should be ashamed of themselves. Their methods were despicable.
04:42I can't wait to see their announcement later on. I have a feeling Eric has a plan.
04:48After numerous discussions,
04:51the H-World higher-ups finally convinced Lucas to accept media interviews at the entrance to the building.
04:58Lucas smiled at the media and anti-fans surrounding him before he looked at the cameras and said,
05:05First, on behalf of H-World and Emma,
05:09I would like to apologize to the public regarding the recent incident with Margot Davis.
05:15We have concluded that Emma did make a promise to Margot,
05:19but we don't know if the rumors spreading online are true.
05:23Due to her refusal to cooperate with our investigation and the resignation letter she sent our agency,
05:31she is no longer employed with us and is the first artist we have banned from working with us.
05:38We will unite with the general public and fight against corrupt figures alongside you.
05:45We appreciate your support and will continue to work hard and make adjustments accordingly. Thank you.
05:54Lisa was watching the news at Tribeca and listening to the words Lucas was spouting off.
06:00Every word felt like a verbal slap, courtesy of Charlotte.
06:05Luke complained,
06:06This is the kind of stuff that makes me question their values.
06:11I don't think they have values.
06:13Lisa rolled her eyes.
06:15I feel sorry for Emma.
06:18Luke eyed her before glancing at Emma.
06:21She's about to sign with Kaleidoscope.
06:23I think she'll be just fine, he thought.
06:27Ugh, that jerk is still talking.
06:29I really want to strangle him. He is so annoying, Lisa said angrily.
06:36Lucas was still answering the reporter's questions.
06:39All I can say is she's nothing like she appears to be.
06:43From now on, we will ban every person we come across like her.
06:49The anti-fans were all clapping and cheering.
06:52They just knew H-World's banishment would be a life sentence for Emma.
06:58However, in all their excitement, they forgot one thing.
07:03Since when did H-World call the shots in the entertainment industry?
07:09While reporters were focused on Lucas's interview,
07:12No one realized that shocking news had just exploded onto the entertainment scene.
07:24Episode 210
07:26How embarrassing.
07:29Kaleidoscope Entertainment announces that they have signed on Emma Miller.
07:34Officially becoming her new owner.
07:36The top entertainment agency signs Emma Miller. Cheers all around.
07:41Kaleidoscope beats H-World's announcement. What's your ban worth?
07:46Kaleidoscope's contract with Emma Miller a mystery. H-World's words hold no weight.
07:52Kaleidoscope has signed Emma?
07:54As soon as people heard the news, they were stunned.
07:58It was such an unexpected outcome.
08:01Kaleidoscope held an ultimate position in the entertainment industry.
08:06People wondered how they could possibly sign Emma on.
08:10However, after seeing the official announcement on the company's website and other channels,
08:16Everyone had no choice but to believe it. It was all real.
08:21They weren't dreaming.
08:23H-World had announced that they were banning Emma.
08:27But 10 minutes later, she had already signed on with Kaleidoscope and become one of their models.
08:34The reporters stared at each other as Lucas continued to answer questions and spill secrets about Emma.
08:42He expressed that since she was already banned, he no longer needed to be wary of her.
08:48He was determined to continue on his path to ruin her until the very end.
08:54The reporters suddenly felt awkward.
08:58As Lucas expressed his intentional hatred toward Emma,
09:02they really wanted to warn him to stop talking.
09:06He was acting completely senseless.
09:09If he continued speaking, he would only make everyone listening feel more uncomfortable.
09:16The scene playing out appeared comical and ridiculous.
09:21A few reporters on the scene started to receive phone calls from their companies.
09:26It was a key moment to snatch headlines.
09:29No one wanted to waste time on H-World.
09:33Smart reporters were already waiting outside Kaleidoscope Entertainment.
09:38At that moment, the reporter sitting closest to Lucas pulled out his phone and showed it to him.
09:45Mr. Perez, is this what you mean by banning Emma?
09:49Lucas furrowed his brows and gaped at the huge shock that was awaiting him on the phone.
09:56The words plastered across the center of the screen.
09:59Kaleidoscope announces signing a contract with Emma Miller.
10:03H-World takes a blow to their pride and is thrown into an awkward position.
10:09His eyes widened in disbelief as he grabbed the phones off other people standing nearby.
10:15They were all displaying the same news about Emma signing on with Kaleidoscope.
10:21It had only been 10 minutes since H-World had announced their contract termination.
10:27Kaleidoscope only took a few minutes to turn H-World into the industry's laughing stock.
10:34Lucas returned the phones to the reporters as his mind turned blank.
10:39He gawked at all the humiliating and mocking expressions on their faces.
10:44He had just banned Emma.
10:46Yet, Kaleidoscope had already signed her with them.
10:50He really thought he could ban Emma? People wondered, incredulous.
10:55What garbage is he talking about? Who does he think he is?
11:00Does H-World even hold any weight in the entertainment industry?
11:04In that instant, surrounded by reporters, a panicked expression crossed Lucas' face.
11:11His cheeks turned red as a feeling of shame seeped into every corner of his body.
11:17How embarrassing.
11:19The reporters below the stage couldn't help but whisper these words.
11:23They could all sense his humiliation.
11:27A while later, Charlotte came out with some bodyguards and pulled Lucas back into the office.
11:34He was in a daze and felt empty inside.
11:37It wasn't until he moved away from the camera flashes that he leaned against the wall
11:43and dropped to the floor in a slump.
11:45He felt defeated and unnerved.
11:49Charlotte gazed at the man on the floor as her throat burned.
11:53Are you happy now?
11:56Rather than simply being knocked down by Kaleidoscope,
12:00I feel like they've also just stripped me of all my clothes in order to fully humiliate me.
12:06I feel completely naked.
12:08I feel like no matter where I go from now on, I'll be a joke in everyone's eyes.
12:15However, it wasn't just Charlotte.
12:18Everyone in H-World was feeling the same way.
12:22Kaleidoscope's hit was too much.
12:25Lucas' gaze was empty.
12:28He had no idea what she was saying.
12:31It wasn't until the sound of her high-heeled shoes disappeared into the distance
12:36that he wiped his hand across his cheek and wrapped his arms around his knees.
12:41He didn't know how he was going to face everyone.
12:45H-World Entertainment's interviews had ended, but Kaleidoscope's had just begun.
12:52Luis wanted to give H-World a bit of time to catch their breaths.
12:56He didn't want Lucas to suffer his second hit so quickly.
13:01Standing on the stage, he was in an extremely good mood.
13:05He wondered whether Emma had seen the move he had just made against Lucas.
13:11Even through the TV screen, he could feel the awkward atmosphere surrounding the jerk.
13:17However, by signing on Emma at a time like this,
13:21Kaleidoscope had to have the ability to deal with
13:24all the negative rumors that were circulating about her.
13:29The reporters began attacking Luis with questions.
13:33That model's been called a murderer.
13:35Why would Kaleidoscope sign someone like that?
13:38Sir, is Kaleidoscope joking with all of us?
13:41It's not April Fool's Day.
13:44Why would we accept garbage like Emma?
13:46They asked themselves.
13:48If it was April Fool's Day, does that mean I'm allowed to play tricks on the media?
13:53I'll keep that in mind.
13:56The reason why Luis held the position of artist director in Kaleidoscope
14:00was because he was extremely competent at dealing with reporters.
14:05His PR was flawless and his promotional methods were excellent.
14:12Why did Kaleidoscope decide to sign Emma on at a time like this?
14:17Luis looked at the reporter as the corners of his lips curved upward.
14:22He gave a gentle laugh.
14:24It seems like I've already given you an answer.
14:28Each reporter only gets one chance at asking a question.
14:31When you first came in, I warned all of you to use this opportunity wisely.
14:37The reporter's face turned pale.
14:39He couldn't believe that he wasted his only question
14:42asking whether Kaleidoscope had been joking.
14:46The reporters who followed afterwards learned from his example.
14:50They were far more vigilant.
14:53Emma's a murderer.
14:54Why did Kaleidoscope sign her?
14:56Hearing this, Luis looked at the reporter's name tag
15:00and responded in a cold tone.
15:03A reporter is a person who distributes news to the public in a timely,
15:07honest, effective, objective, and fair manner.
15:12I'm sure you can find the definition online.
15:15So which of these have you done?
15:17The reporter covered his name badge in shame and turned away.
15:22Why did you announce Emma signing with Kaleidoscope at a time like this?
15:26If not now, when do you think would be more appropriate?
15:30Luis asked in response.
15:32At least at a time when the entire nation no longer hates her.
15:37By that time, she may no longer be able to join Kaleidoscope.
15:41She may have already died 100 unjustly deaths in the hands of heartless reporters
15:47and keyboard warriors who only know how to follow the crowd.
15:52He answered sharply.
15:54Each word cut deep enough to make the reporters bleed.
15:57Isn't Kaleidoscope afraid of having their reputation damaged because of her?
16:02She has so many haters.
16:04Getting on the good side of these haters has never been something Kaleidoscope cared about.
16:10The reason is simple.
16:11Their hearts are far too corrupt.
16:14While they judge others for repulsive reasons,
16:17they haven't even considered taking a look at themselves.
16:21While they are denying others hard work,
16:25they haven't considered that it may be because they themselves haven't worked hard
16:30that they assume other people's effort comes from some kind of shady or indecent dealings.
16:37So you want to boycott Emma?
16:39But do any of you have the guts to do it using your real name?
16:44But the incident between Emma and Margo is real, a reporter retorted.
16:55Episode 211, Boss You Around
17:00The reporter continued,
17:02there are also already a large number of haters who are denouncing H-World.
17:07The most extreme ones are even attacking Kaleidoscope.
17:11Luis was silent for a few moments.
17:14Everyone assumed that he was surprised by this outcome.
17:18Then, he said,
17:20At 10 tomorrow morning, Kaleidoscope will hold an official contract signing ceremony for Emma.
17:26She will be present at that time.
17:29Anti-fans and reporters, if you have any evidence,
17:33feel free to bring it along with you and present it to everyone.
17:38We will see if Emma really has committed murder or broken a promise.
17:43We will discover whether or not she is the one who is responsible for this.
17:47Kaleidoscope is not H-World.
17:56We don't run our business based on vague rumors.
17:59Indecent activity does not exist in our company.
18:03Also, we won't allow our artists to suffer humiliation openly.
18:09Since Emma has already signed on with us,
18:12we will be open and transparent about everything.
18:16I ask all the reporters to be on time tomorrow.
18:19When the time comes, I have even bigger news to reveal.
18:23Luis had firmly expressed the company's views
18:27and powerfully pulled Emma into their territory.
18:30As long as she was an artist of Kaleidoscope,
18:34they would never give up on or abandon her.
18:38There was no way they would be like H-World
18:41and get rid of someone as soon as something got stirred up.
18:45This show of power once again threw a fierce hit at H-World's management and PR.
18:52The reporters at the scene could clearly sense
18:55that Kaleidoscope's protection of Emma was not merely empty words.
19:00The online community continued to insult her,
19:04but the intensity decreased.
19:07Many people doubted Kaleidoscope.
19:10However, as soon as they thought about their idol or favorite TV personality,
19:15who came from Kaleidoscope,
19:17they would subconsciously end up trusting the company and Emma too.
19:23As for H-World, they had become an outcast in the industry.
19:27They were far too embarrassing.
19:30Although competition and fighting was common amongst entertainment agencies,
19:36to be defied by one within 10 minutes of a major decision
19:41was not something that happened often.
19:44Therefore, H-World Entertainment had become the biggest joke in the business.
19:50A bored fan even turned Lucas's expression into a set of emojis
19:55to express his feelings towards entertainment news.
19:59As for the staff at H-World, due to the fear caused by offending Kaleidoscope,
20:04they slowly started placing their resignation letters on Charlotte's desk,
20:09one after another.
20:10Although H-World hadn't completely fallen apart,
20:14they had still suffered a serious blow.
20:17Compared to Charlotte's recent headliner,
20:20this incident was much more serious.
20:23Only the anti-fans continued to stand up against Emma.
20:27Since they had an opportunity to release their accumulated anger,
20:32there was no way they would hold back just because she had signed with Kaleidoscope.
20:38I wonder what disgusting methods she used to sign with them.
20:42This annoying cheap model treats other people like dirt.
20:46By changing agencies, she's merely hiding her shame under a bigger leaf.
20:52I once thought Kaleidoscope was undeniably pure and clean,
20:56but it seems like they too are going downhill.
20:59Otherwise, why would they sign someone like Emma?
21:03Without us fans, I wonder how much of Kaleidoscope's shares will drop.
21:07Apparently, there'll be a big revelation tomorrow.
21:11Let's wait and see how Kaleidoscope tries to clean up after her.
21:16Meanwhile, Emma was sitting beside Eric as she browsed the news.
21:21As soon as she saw her and Kaleidoscope being scolded by haters in the same sentence,
21:27she lifted her head to look at the man beside her,
21:30displaying an expression of guilt.
21:33Eric did not turn his head nor look into her eyes.
21:37But he knew what she was thinking.
21:40You can't possibly believe this is all Kaleidoscope has, right?
21:45All you need to do tomorrow is dress nicely and make an appearance.
21:50Louise will handle everything else.
21:53You still haven't told me who my manager will be.
21:57Emma put down her laptop and leaned against him.
22:00The higher-ups are still discussing it, he replied calmly.
22:05What? Don't you trust me?
22:07I'm a little afraid, she responded honestly.
22:11Although she had prepared herself mentally,
22:14she still didn't feel confident about joining Kaleidoscope.
22:18When she thought about her and Eric's relationship possibly being revealed one day,
22:23she wondered what other people at the company would think.
22:27What would the public think, she wondered.
22:30Knowing she was nervous, Eric stopped what he was doing and gazed into her eyes.
22:36I never thought I'd still hear the word afraid coming from your mouth.
22:42Think about it.
22:43Just because you're joining Kaleidoscope, does that mean you're no longer a model?
22:48Will you no longer be yourself?
22:51She lowered her head and thought for a moment.
22:55As she lifted her head to respond, her face flushed red.
22:59Does that mean from now on, you can boss me around?
23:04At her words, Eric grinned.
23:07His happiness was clear on his face.
23:11I finally have an excuse to officially boss you around.
23:17You can't go easy on me, he nodded.
23:20I'll be extra strict with you.
23:23I know you like to prove yourself worthy.
23:26So do you feel reassured enough to sign the contract now?
23:30Luke smiled handsomely as he stood behind the couple.
23:34He enjoyed watching them work together side by side.
23:39Meanwhile, sitting nearby, Lisa sneakily glanced over at him every now and then.
23:45She felt her mood improving, watching the silly look on his face as he smiled at the couple.
23:52She enjoyed that ridiculous look of his.
23:55Perhaps Luke could sense the fiery passion coming from her eyes
24:00because he lifted his head in curiosity.
24:03She quickly looked away and pretended like nothing has happened
24:07as she read through the news on her phone.
24:10The topic of Kaleidoscope signing Emma had completely stirred up the industry.
24:16When attending events, the company's artists would always get asked about
24:20their opinions regarding Emma or Kaleidoscope's actions.
24:25The majority of artists responded with a smile as they expressed their views.
24:30Emma has a bad attitude? I'm not sure about that.
24:33We at Kaleidoscope never sign anyone with personality issues.
24:38So if my fans trust me, then please trust my agency.
24:43Ah, I love Emma's performances on the runway, especially her long legs.
24:48Now that we're brothers and sisters of the same company,
24:51we'll get a chance to bump into each other more often.
24:54I'm looking forward to it.
24:56I've asked my manager privately multiple times to let me go watch her shows.
25:01I'm speechless as to why the agency took so long to sign her.
25:06They were too slow.
25:08I'm so happy that Emma is joining our family.
25:11Let's applaud this great news.
25:15At various events, the artists expressed their anticipation
25:19for her addition to their company.
25:21It was clear that the staff at Kaleidoscope were extremely united.
25:27They were all well aware of their standpoint and felt confident to share it.
25:32Although Emma was technically their competitor, they weren't petty about it.
25:38I hope the agency can clear her name soon.
25:41I trust the agency, so I also trust her.
25:45What's with all the haters? They're the worst.
25:48I can't wait for the evidence the agency is going to present to everyone.
25:52I'm looking forward to the contract signing ceremony tomorrow.
