00:00Stay away from my wife. I buy her expensive gifts, not you.
00:04Honestly, I feel bad for her. She'll never have anything nice with you around.
00:10I know what you're trying to do. It's not going to work.
00:12Hi, Bradley.
00:14Hi.
00:15Oh my gosh, so good to see you.
00:17You really are having a bad week. You called an Uber bike to get here?
00:21Oh no, this is my-
00:22You could have called me.
00:26Anyway, so glad I bumped into you.
00:28My heart aches for you and everything that's been happening with your company.
00:30Oh, thank you. That's so sweet.
00:33So sweet.
00:34So, I got you a little gift.
00:37What? You didn't have to do that.
00:39Yeah, Bradley, you really shouldn't.
00:42Oh, that's-
00:44Come on, let me put it on you.
00:46No, no, it's too much.
00:48I insist.
00:51At that moment, Kevin had murder in his eyes.
00:53I'll do it.
00:55Her husband will put it on her.
00:59Okay.
01:00Be careful with that. It's a Dreamlovers.
01:05No!
01:07Oops.
01:09What the hell, Kev?
01:11It's a fake. Dreamlovers nexus costs a small country's GDP,
01:15and there's only 10 of them in the entire world.
01:18So?
01:18How could you?
01:19It slipped.
01:20Bradley, you lied?
01:21I didn't lie to you.
01:22It's an exact replica. It cost me a hundred grand.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:27Now, I am so sorry, Bradley.
01:28So sorry, Bradley.
01:31I know how much you admired those necklaces, and you've been working so hard.
01:34I thought you deserved something special.
01:36Bradley, I'm sure this really was a mistake, right, Kev?
01:39What she deserves is a real one, not some douchebags and alcohol.
01:43Okay, whoa, whoa, stop.
01:46I need you to apologize to Bradley right now.
01:48He's a representative at Williams Media.
01:50Remember the seven million that we owe him and someone stepped in,
01:53so now we only owe four?
01:55His company is providing the rest.
01:58Please, Kevin?
02:04Sorry, I broke the necklace.
02:06What was that?
02:08No, I didn't hear you.
02:13Please forgive me.
02:18Apology accepted.
02:21All right, I'm going to work.
02:23See you at the meeting.
02:33Get out of my way.
02:37You can't even afford a car.
02:45Hey, babe.
02:48Hey, listen, I, um...
02:50I wanted to apologize for taking Bradley's bait earlier.
02:55No, it's, it's okay.
02:56I was actually calling to apologize to you.
03:00I just, I've been...
03:02You've been stressed lately, so I get it.
03:03I just, I shouldn't have let that douchebag get under my skin.
03:07Just, that douche is the best chance I have at saving my company.
03:12He reports directly to the Williams family,
03:14and that's like the richest family in the city, so it has to be done.
03:19For their entire marriage, Kevin had searched for a way to tell Lily
03:23he was actually the son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the entire country.
03:29You fool!
03:31You've wasted your entire inheritance!
03:35What?
03:36You're out of the family!
03:39Out!
03:42What the hell is a Ryan coin?
03:45Grandpa.
03:47I get it.
03:48Listen, everything's gonna be okay, all right?
03:52Kevin was a great husband to Lily.
03:54He did all the chores.
03:55He rode this old junker around so she could use the car for work.
04:02You could get a job.
04:04You know, make some money.
04:05Our Lily could have married anyone.
04:07Lord knows what she was thinking when she chose you.
04:10I'm gonna make you and Lily proud one day.
04:12You'll see.
04:13You're just lucky she was too love-drunk to sign the prenup, like I suggested.
04:17Otherwise, I'd have gotten her to divorce you years ago.
04:20Hey, guys.
04:22Kevin still got butterflies every time he looked at Lily.
04:25Oh, hi, honey.
04:26Mother-son bonding time, I see.
04:30Rachel.
04:31Kev.
04:33Nice outfit.
04:34Thanks, I'm doing dishes.
04:37My husband pays someone for that.
04:39He says he's gonna make us proud one day.
04:41When?
04:45I don't care.
04:46How could you say that?
04:47You're always so mean to him.
04:50It's because I care about you, Lil.
04:52You're a boss and Kevin, no offense, is an absolute bum.
05:01He wasn't always like this.
05:03When we first met, he was confident and charming and I don't know what happened.
05:10But I just feel like if I stay with him long enough, he might actually find himself again.
05:17I really love the man that he used to be.
05:19But do you love the guy he is right now?
05:30Hello?
05:31Dude, you're rich!
05:33What?
05:34Bro, check your old crypto wallet.
05:35Orion coin is off the chart.
05:37The number was too high for his digital wallet to even calculate.
05:40Kevin was now the richest man in the city, maybe even the world.
05:44Oh my god, that is so embarrassing.
05:49Like how does an arch-hair woman get married to a man with a broken motorbike?
05:54Tragic.
05:55It was like something you'd see in the dump.
05:57Him or the bike?
05:59No, no, no.
06:00Okay, then get this.
06:02He said he was going to buy her a dream lover's necklace.
06:05Can you believe that?
06:06Completely delusional.
06:09Hey, that's enough.
06:11Hey, that's enough.
06:14If I were you, I wouldn't speak about things you know nothing about.
06:19Sorry, Miss Jones.
06:26Lily knew that Kevin wasn't an idiot.
06:29She just wished he'd stop living with his head in the clouds.
06:33Maybe they both could give their relationship another go.
06:35She hadn't given up on him yet.
06:37Kevin was more resolved than ever to become the man Lily wanted him to be.
06:41But before he could take care of Bradley, he had to pay a visit to someone from his past.
06:48Williams Manor, home sweet home.
06:55Kevin, my grandchild.
06:59Let's skip the formalities, shall we?
07:03I can see you've been enjoying your sabbaticals.
07:05Sabbatical?
07:07Is that what you call disowning your grandson?
07:10Let's not dwell on events of the past, shall we?
07:13Please have a seat.
07:14I thought about it, and I'll hear you out on two conditions.
07:18Number one, by six o'clock this evening, you will get me an authentic dream lover's necklace.
07:26Dream lover?
07:30I don't care how.
07:31I just want to deliver it to my wife in secret.
07:34And number two, you're going to fire one of your board members.
07:38Bradley something.
07:40Mr. Williams was surprised at how much he liked this side of Kevin.
07:43Consider it done.
07:50Your demands have been met.
07:53Now make the call.
07:54You will help us, won't you?
07:55You really think I have eight billion dollars?
07:57Don't play dumb.
07:58Just 20% of the stock you own is currently worth $9.6 billion.
08:04A number that is rising as we speak.
08:08I'll let you have Williams Media.
08:11The largest and most successful entertainment company in America.
08:15Think of all the celebrities we've signed.
08:18All that influence that will be loyal to your name.
08:22You'll start tomorrow as the chief executive in charge.
08:25You'll have a company and a purpose.
08:29What say you?
08:31Just that douche is the best chance I have at saving my company.
08:36He reports directly to the Williams family.
08:38And that's like the richest family in the city.
08:41So it has to be done.
08:43Little did she know Kevin was now at the helm of that family.
08:47Her company's fate was in his hands, not Bradley's.
08:53I was told to wait here until I could personally deliver this to you.
09:00Well, what is it?
09:07What's so shocking?
09:12Is this...
09:13The genuine article?
09:14A dream lovers.
09:17Whoever your admirer is, they're very generous.
09:20You have to try it on.
09:23Was she dreaming?
09:25Who exactly gave it to her?
09:26Could it have been Bradley Smith?
09:30Lily finally understood what it felt like to be seen by a man.
09:33As she touched the rare stone, she thought of how unhappy she'd been this last year.
09:38You look beautiful, Lily.
09:41You deserve this.
09:44You work so hard.
09:46I only wish you'd allow yourself more happiness in life.
10:00She deserved this.
10:03This feeling.
10:04She'd held on to this dream with Kevin for far too long.
10:08For the first time, she felt ready to let go.
10:11Not because she didn't love Kevin, nor because she had any love for Bradley.
10:14She was simply ready to love herself.
10:20She had made her decision.
10:22Tonight, she would tell Kevin it was over.
10:30What are you doing?
10:40Sitting with my family.
10:41We'll find another seat.
10:43That seat is reserved for Miss Anderson.
10:46Who?
10:47You don't even know who she is.
10:49Miss Phoebe Anderson is a prominent member of one of the city's top families.
10:56Hello.
10:57Now, if you don't mind.
11:00Oh, I do.
11:01I mind.
11:04How dare you?
11:06You are offending grandmother's honored guest.
11:09No, really.
11:09I can just find another seat.
11:11Nonsense.
11:12I will not have it.
11:14You heard the lady.
11:16Don't push this.
11:17Not today.
11:26So,
11:38trouble in paradise?
11:42Yes, well, enjoy your meal.
11:45Thanks.
11:50Phoebe Anderson.
11:51Lily Jones-Williams.
11:54Good to meet you.
11:56Oh, I'm sorry.
11:56But I have to ask.
11:58That is an authentic Dreamlovers, isn't it?
12:01Oh, I'm afraid it's just a very good replica.
12:04Oh, at least that's what Jason says.
12:07Trust me, darling.
12:08I've been longing for a Dreamlovers on my own for a very long time.
12:12And that is the real deal.
12:16But that would mean...
12:19Oh, my friend gave this to me as a gift.
12:23Well, then you're just gonna have to give me his number
12:25so I can find out how he procured one.
12:27They're quite rare after all.
12:29She can do better than that.
12:30You can call him.
12:32Right now.
12:34Yeah, sure.
12:36Oh, that'd be great.
12:46Hey.
12:46Hello, Lily.
12:48I was sorry to hear about you losing your job.
12:51Yeah, I've seen better days.
12:55Yeah.
12:56Listen, I'm calling about the Dreamlovers necklace you sent me.
13:02What are you doing?
13:04I'm serving wine to my family and your guest.
13:09I get it.
13:11You're trying to show me up.
13:15Yes, I love it.
13:16Well, a friend of mine wanted to see if she could get one of her own.
13:21I was wondering if you could tell me how you were able to...
13:23Wait.
13:24You're calling me because you want another fake necklace?
13:28Seriously?
13:31Fake.
13:33After your husband broke the last one.
13:37I'm very sorry, Palpatine.
13:39It cost me a hundred grand.
13:41All right, I lost my job.
13:43I don't have anything left.
13:46Waiter.
13:47How about a bottle of that for every person here?
13:54My treat.
13:57Are you, uh, sure about that, Jason?
14:00I mean, it's a lot of people here and it's a very expensive bottle of wine.
14:06If you can afford them, anyone can.
14:10Wait, so you're saying you didn't send me a Dreamlovers necklace?
14:14A real one?
14:15Of course not.
14:17Do you have any idea how hard those are to find?
14:19I mean, who gives that kind of money?
14:21They can just pull out of thin air, all right?
14:24Good luck.
14:26Lily didn't know what to believe.
14:28Was Kevin really the person responsible for the Dreamlovers necklace?
14:31How could he possibly afford it?
14:34Where did he get that money from?
14:36Did she ever truly know her husband at all?
14:44Will Kevin finally tell Lily the truth?
14:46Can he build his empire and save his dying marriage?
