00:00:00Check the exam results.
00:00:03They did.
00:00:10You should have hidden it if you wanted to give me a surprise.
00:00:24Come in. Hello, Crystal.
00:00:28Please, take a seat.
00:00:31Check the exam results.
00:00:34They did. And you've been pregnant for eight weeks.
00:00:39What? Really?
00:00:42Congratulations.
00:00:52The number you dialed is busy at the moment.
00:00:54Please try again later. Oh, come on, Charles. Answer the phone.
00:00:58The number you dialed is busy at the moment.
00:01:06What?
00:01:08Elder?
00:01:10The number you dialed is busy at the moment.
00:01:13Please try again later.
00:01:28Have you seen Charles? I have to talk to him.
00:01:32Somebody forgot to dress for the party.
00:01:34Perhaps a lack of respect for the invitation?
00:01:37I apologize. Something came up.
00:01:39Well, you should apologize after all these years the way you've treated this family.
00:01:43You are just a good-for-nothing.
00:01:45You can't make any money and even give my son a child.
00:01:50Mr. Wade is so rich and handsome.
00:01:52Why would he marry such a woman as that?
00:01:55It's her mom-in-law's party.
00:01:57Almost a secret for a little farm boy.
00:02:00Do you think the Wade Group could get where it is without me?
00:02:03Oh, so now you want to take credit for the Wade Group's success?
00:02:06You listen to me. I chose Ilda to be my daughter-in-law three years ago
00:02:10and she is back now and pregnant with my son's child.
00:02:13It is damn time you fill out those papers and divorce my son Charles immediately!
00:02:21You bunch of ingrates.
00:02:22When the Wade Group capital chain broke, I secretly helped you.
00:02:25Otherwise, you would have been all along bankrupt.
00:02:28Well, isn't it my favorite country bumpkin?
00:02:32You have no money and no backers.
00:02:35How dare you claim credit for a company's success?
00:02:38Country bumpkin!
00:02:39If I hadn't married Charles, you wouldn't even be qualified to meet me.
00:02:44Eww.
00:02:47Everyone at this party is a big shot in Vancouver.
00:02:52Yeah, the only person we're not qualified to meet is Mr. Brown,
00:02:55the richest man in Vancouver.
00:02:57What if I was his daughter?
00:03:01Is it because your last name is Brown that you think you're his daughter?
00:03:05You're delusional.
00:03:07Mr. Brown has protected his daughter since childhood.
00:03:11Nobody actually knows what she looks like.
00:03:13Do you think this woman is trying to take advantage of that?
00:03:23What is she doing here?
00:03:25I invited her.
00:03:26And she's here to stay.
00:03:28She deserves to be at this party more than you do now.
00:03:31Crystal, my dear.
00:03:34I told you to put on some nice clothes.
00:03:36Please, go to your room and change.
00:03:39Not until I have a word with you.
00:03:46You have been avoiding me throughout the past few weeks.
00:03:49I've been busy.
00:03:52I've been trying to get an invitation to Mr. Brown's fashion show.
00:03:54You got...
00:03:55He is hosting a grand event two months from now.
00:03:59This event will dictate whether or not the Wade group gets to sell their clothing in the Vancouver market.
00:04:02You got back together with her and made her pregnant.
00:04:06What happens between Ilde and I has nothing to do with you.
00:04:10I know you loved her before you married me.
00:04:13But you should not have cheated on me.
00:04:15You don't know what you're talking about.
00:04:19Don't look at me like that. I'm not better than...
00:04:21I did nothing wrong.
00:04:24I have loved you with all my heart for three years.
00:04:29I took good care of your family.
00:04:32I swallowed the insults every single time they humiliated me.
00:04:35But you cheated on me.
00:04:38If you want to still be my wife and part of the Wade family, this is your duty.
00:04:43Turn a blind eye to the humiliation.
00:04:45How could you do this to me?
00:04:47Ilde is different.
00:04:50You care about her baby so much.
00:04:54What if I was pregnant with your child?
00:04:57What do you mean?
00:04:58Nothing.
00:04:59I've made my decision.
00:05:02I want to get a divorce.
00:05:16Miss Brown.
00:05:19Thank you for taking such good care of my Charles the past three years.
00:05:23I've taken better care of him than any other woman could.
00:05:27I have some kind advice for you.
00:05:29You should know your place.
00:05:31Don't crave things that don't belong to you.
00:05:34Charles married you in a fit of anger.
00:05:37He only ever loved me.
00:05:42Why are you laughing?
00:05:44If you like Charles so much, go ahead.
00:05:46He's all yours. Go right ahead.
00:05:48I've seen too many women like you.
00:05:51Retreating in order to advance.
00:05:53Shouldn't you be busy begging Charles for marriage instead of offering me champagne
00:05:57and talking nonsense to me?
00:06:03Oh my gosh!
00:06:04Miss Brown, what are you doing?
00:06:06What are you talking about?
00:06:07Let go!
00:06:08Please don't hurt my baby.
00:06:13Please don't hurt my baby.
00:06:16Charles.
00:06:17What happened?
00:06:19I thank Miss Brown for taking care of you the past few years
00:06:21and uninspectedly she became angry and poured champagne on me.
00:06:24Crystal, you are so vicious.
00:06:27How could you push a pregnant woman?
00:06:29I didn't. She's lying.
00:06:30Get lost.
00:06:32I will never enter the Wade mansion again.
00:06:34If you leave, where would you go?
00:06:36It's none of your business.
00:06:38Fine. If you're so determined to leave, remove everything you have from the Wade family.
00:06:43You bought me this cardigan on our trip to Paris.
00:06:47This is a gift you got me on our first anniversary.
00:06:51And do you remember these?
00:06:52It's one pair of our matching shoes.
00:06:57Miss Brown, Charles is broken up with you.
00:07:00Don't forget to return the ring.
00:07:02Oh, I won't forget it.
00:07:03The one thing that I regret most in my life is marrying you.
00:07:07I never want to see you again.
00:07:09Charles, you're feeling well.
00:07:13Charles, you're feeling well.
00:07:16Charles, let Ilda rest and go fetch her some water, please.
00:07:19Come on, my dear.
00:07:25You see? My son and Ilda are the perfect match.
00:07:29Enough of this spectacle.
00:07:31Get out of here. We have raised you long enough.
00:07:35Crystal!
00:07:36Louis, get me out of here!
00:07:44Whose license plate number is VA-999?
00:07:48Charles, no wonder she is eager to divorce you.
00:07:51She's hooked up with a very rich man.
00:07:53I wonder who he is.
00:07:57Yes, Mr. Wade.
00:07:59Eton, I have a task for you.
00:08:02The license plate number VA-999.
00:08:06Find out its owner.
00:08:07Certainly, Mr. Wade.
00:08:08The owner's information is protected.
00:08:11The owner's information is protected.
00:08:13Can't quite find out who it is.
00:08:15He must be a very powerful man.
00:08:26Dad. Lando.
00:08:29I missed you so much.
00:08:31Crystal, honey.
00:08:33I'm so glad you're home.
00:08:35It's been so long since I've had my three children at home together.
00:08:40You insisted on marrying Charles when he saved you.
00:08:43And now look at this mess.
00:08:46Dad, I know I was wrong.
00:08:50You made a mistake.
00:08:52We all make mistakes, okay?
00:08:54It's from these mistakes that we need to learn.
00:08:57And you'll learn and you'll become a strong woman over time.
00:09:01Speaking of...
00:09:03Your birthday's coming up soon.
00:09:07And Lando wants to throw you a party.
00:09:10I want my sister to cheer up.
00:09:12You're home now.
00:09:14I don't really think I'm in the mood for a party.
00:09:16Crystal, come on.
00:09:18You've been away from our society, from our circle of friends for years.
00:09:22You're home now.
00:09:24I want to introduce you again.
00:09:26I want to show our society what a beautiful young lady you've grown into.
00:09:31Dad, you're the best.
00:09:34I've got a small gift for you.
00:09:48Crystal Brown's back.
00:10:01Today's banquet will decide whether or not we get admission to the fashion show two months from now.
00:10:07Yasi Clothing, my brother's company, is collaborating with the Brown Group.
00:10:12Maybe I could help you build a connection if you want.
00:10:15Why build a bridge with your brother when we can build a connection with the richest man in town right here, right now?
00:10:23The Brown Group did book the entire estate to celebrate Ms. Brown's birthday.
00:10:29I heard she just returned home from being away for three years.
00:10:32They have no problem spending all that money.
00:10:36So where has she been for the past three years?
00:10:41Oh, there she is.
00:10:57Why is Crystal here?
00:11:00She's using her last name to pretend to be a part of the Brown Group.
00:11:06So pathetic.
00:11:08And the man next to her, didn't he pick her up that day?
00:11:18Crystal, why are you here?
00:11:22Can't wait to jump into the arms of another man?
00:11:26Mr. Wade, if I remember correctly, Crystal asked for a divorce.
00:11:29She is my family. Please show some respect.
00:11:32We haven't signed the divorce papers yet.
00:11:34She is still legally my wife.
00:11:36And you have ruined the Wade family's reputation.
00:11:38Did you consider our reputations when you cheated on me and got your mistress pregnant?
00:11:46This is no way to comport yourself in public, Mr. Wade.
00:11:51You and your family should learn good manners.
00:11:54People like you are not qualified to attend a banquet like this.
00:11:57Who do you think you are to talk to us like that?
00:11:59This is my banquet, and you're not welcome.
00:12:02Enough. You almost had a miscarriage because of you.
00:12:05But we let you go.
00:12:07How dare you pretend to be Ms. Brown?
00:12:09Is it because these two men beside you are backing you?
00:12:15You are still married to my son.
00:12:17How dare you cheat on your husband so publicly?
00:12:22Ms. Brown, even if you wanted a sugar daddy, you should have chosen a better one.
00:12:27I've never seen either of these men at any of the events.
00:12:31That's because you're not qualified to enter those circles.
00:12:34What do you mean?
00:12:35Your brother is the founder of Yossi Clothing.
00:12:38Well, from now on, the Brown group will terminate any contractual agreement with him.
00:12:42So now you're pretending to be a part of the Brown family?
00:12:45You are in no position to terminate any agreement.
00:12:50Mr. Brown, the banquet is well stood.
00:12:52Thank you. And please, escort these people out.
00:12:57They're here by mistake.
00:13:08How dare you do this to us?
00:13:10My son is the CEO of the Wade Group.
00:13:13I swear to God, I will make you pay for this.
00:13:15Let's go. Let's go.
00:13:23She is such a whore.
00:13:25That's exactly what she is.
00:13:27Oh my God.
00:13:28And she's been hooking up with Mr. Brown and treating our family like some small town simpletons.
00:13:35Who the hell does she think she is?
00:13:38It's so humiliating.
00:13:42Escort it out in front of everyone.
00:13:44Mom, calm down.
00:13:46Charles saw through Crystal and dumped her.
00:13:48I'm sure that Mr. Brown will realize what a viper she is and kick her out before the night is over.
00:13:55Shut up, you two.
00:13:57After you humiliated her for three years, now you're surprised she takes her revenge?
00:14:01Oh, she's cheating on you.
00:14:03Don't you dare be fooled by the love that she showed you a long time ago.
00:14:07It was never real.
00:14:10Don't you know that by now?
00:14:12Charles, Aunt Cara treated her for the person she was.
00:14:16Once you realize the Crystal you loved was not the real Crystal, you'll stop defending her.
00:14:23What is this?
00:14:24The invitation I told you about for Daisy Blake's party.
00:14:28She's a famous designer and I heard that Ms. Brown will attend.
00:14:33This is your chance to build a connection with the Brown family.
00:14:37Daisy, I think I know that name.
00:14:40Once we build a good relationship with Ms. Brown, we get admission to the fashion show.
00:14:46Yes!
00:14:47Ilda, this is great.
00:14:54Pumpkin has so many nice clothes.
00:14:57So many.
00:14:59Daisy Blake.
00:15:07Ilda, we are so lucky to have you.
00:15:11And thanks to this lovely invitation,
00:15:14once the Wade Group enters the Vancouver's market, we are going to make a fortune!
00:15:19And Cara, I just did what was good for the family.
00:15:22I'm so happy for you.
00:15:25And Cara, I just did what was good for this family.
00:15:29Speaking of family, Charles, when do you plan to marry Ilda?
00:15:33You must marry her before she gives birth.
00:15:36It would look bad for the Wade family heir to be born out of wedlock.
00:15:40Yes, agreed.
00:15:44I, uh, I need more time.
00:15:51What is wrong with him?
00:15:55I don't know.
00:16:03Summon her. Invitation, please.
00:16:05Sure.
00:16:11You are Mrs. Wade?
00:16:13I'm Mr. Wade. She's with me.
00:16:15Right this way.
00:16:18Isn't he Charles Wade?
00:16:20He looks so much more handsome in the photos.
00:16:22And who's his date? She's so pretty.
00:16:24I heard he's married.
00:16:26She must be his wife.
00:16:48Ms. Brown?
00:16:50What a small world.
00:16:52He must have made a painstaking effort to get an invitation.
00:16:55This is an exclusive party.
00:16:57Small world indeed.
00:16:59Well, Ms. Smith, guests here are all closely related to Daisy and VIP customers.
00:17:05What category do you belong to, Ms. Smith?
00:17:08Um, I...
00:17:10Both you and Mr. Wade have neither a business nor a personal relationship to her.
00:17:17You must have made a painstaking effort to come here.
00:17:20Everyone here knows who Charles is.
00:17:22He's the CEO of the Wade Group.
00:17:24Ms. Blake will not shut the door upon seeing his face.
00:17:28I doubt it.
00:17:30Stop talking nonsense, Ms. Brown.
00:17:32How did you get here?
00:17:34Last time I checked, you're not a VIP customer nor a big shot in the fashion industry.
00:17:38You are correct. I am neither.
00:17:40Maybe we should ask Ms. Blake.
00:17:42My mentor!
00:17:44Why didn't you tell me you'd arrived?
00:17:46My... mentor?
00:17:50My... mentor?
00:17:52Why didn't you tell me you'd arrived?
00:17:54You're hosting a party.
00:17:56I thought you might be busy. I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:58I wanted to welcome you at the entrance.
00:18:02And who are you?
00:18:04Ms. Blake, I'm Ilda Smith.
00:18:08My father is the president of the Smith Group.
00:18:10I don't recall inviting you.
00:18:13This is a private party.
00:18:15I don't welcome uninvited guests.
00:18:17Please leave immediately.
00:18:19Ms. Blake, we spoke to the guard at the front entrance.
00:18:21He checked our ticket and invited us in.
00:18:23I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience.
00:18:25If the invitation had your name on it, Mr. Wade, you can stay.
00:18:29I won't ask you to leave.
00:18:33I would, however, appreciate it if Ms. Smith left the premises right away.
00:18:37Why?
00:18:39I am his fiancé!
00:18:42And I'm having his baby!
00:18:44I am his fiancé!
00:18:46And I'm having his baby!
00:18:50Really?
00:18:52You two are a couple.
00:18:54He's totally out of your league.
00:18:56Ms. Blake, how dare you speak to me that way?
00:19:00Mr. Wade can stay.
00:19:02He's handsome and wears nice clothing.
00:19:04He's in line with my brand and our party theme.
00:19:08You, on the other hand, are not.
00:19:11I can't bear to look at that dress.
00:19:13It's incompatible with my party.
00:19:15Or any party, really.
00:19:17Please leave.
00:19:19Ms. Blake, you're going too far.
00:19:21Mr. Wade, your fiancé mocked my mentor in public,
00:19:23and yet I didn't have her thrown out.
00:19:25I've already granted you a favor.
00:19:27Forget it, Daisy.
00:19:29I didn't take Ms. Smith's words to heart.
00:19:31No need to pursue the matter any further.
00:19:35Please excuse me.
00:19:37I need to socialize with my other guests.
00:19:40Mr. Wade, help yourself to the bar.
00:19:50You asked for divorce.
00:19:52Why are you shamelessly pestering him?
00:19:54It's useless no matter what you do.
00:19:56He said only my child can inherit the Wade family fortune.
00:20:00Your bastard can only be aborted.
00:20:02Oh!
00:20:04How dare you hit me!
00:20:06If your foul mouth mentions my baby again,
00:20:08you will suffer more than slaps.
00:20:12Charles!
00:20:14It hurts!
00:20:16Some chicks never get old.
00:20:18Ms. Brown hit me!
00:20:20She wanted to kill our baby!
00:20:22She says hers is the rightful heir to the Wade's fortune.
00:20:24Hers?
00:20:26What is she talking about?
00:20:32What is she talking about?
00:20:34I don't know what she's talking about.
00:20:37She should go see a doctor.
00:20:39She must be mentally sick.
00:20:41I never pushed her.
00:20:43You're accusing me of lying in front of my fiancé.
00:20:45There are cameras.
00:20:47I can show you the evidence and then sue you for defamation.
00:20:49You're just angry because of the feelings that Charles has for me.
00:20:53First of all, I'm not angry.
00:20:55Instead, I want to thank you for getting me out of the sea of misery.
00:20:59I am no longer a desperate housewife
00:21:01who waits for her husband from dusk to dawn.
00:21:04Second, Mr. Wade,
00:21:06you might want to treat your fiancé
00:21:08the same degree of respect as your wife.
00:21:10This bracelet is fake.
00:21:12Maybe an accurate representation
00:21:14of the love you have for her.
00:21:22How?
00:21:26Aren't you here to meet the heiress of the Brown family?
00:21:28Well, I'm here.
00:21:30Don't you recognize me?
00:21:33How do you have the nerve to say such words?
00:21:35Ms. Brown is distinguished.
00:21:37You are just a country bumpkin.
00:21:39You can't hide the smell
00:21:41of your poor upbringing.
00:21:43You're such a pathetic woman.
00:21:47Charles, are you okay?
00:21:49Let's go talk to Daisy.
00:21:51You're the CEO of the Wade Group
00:21:53and she respects you.
00:21:55She will help you if you put pressure on her.
00:21:57Ms. Blake,
00:21:59I will not beat around the bush.
00:22:02You will be introduced to Ms. Brown.
00:22:04We can compensate you for this favour
00:22:06or repay you in any other way.
00:22:08I've already granted you a favour this evening.
00:22:10Don't force my hand.
00:22:14Why is she being so hostile towards us?
00:22:16Oh, I bet that rancid bitch
00:22:18is behind Ms. Blake's behaviour.
00:22:22Ladies and gentlemen,
00:22:24thank you so much for taking the time
00:22:26out of your busy schedules
00:22:28to attend my party this evening.
00:22:30Among our most celebrated guests,
00:22:32we are honoured to welcome
00:22:34Ms. Brown here tonight.
00:22:36And as a gift to this wonderful night,
00:22:38she will be performing a dance.
00:22:40The real Ms. Brown is here.
00:22:42Among our most celebrated guests,
00:22:44we are honoured to welcome
00:22:46Ms. Brown tonight.
00:22:48Please, let's give her a round of applause.
00:23:00She's so beautiful and sexy.
00:23:02They say she trained at a procedure school in New York.
00:23:04What a performance.
00:23:06The Brown family must be so proud of her many talents.
00:23:10Why does she look so familiar?
00:23:14Why are they so alike?
00:23:20Crystal!
00:23:31Crystal is Nevin Brown's daughter?
00:23:33The heir to the Brown family?
00:23:43Why didn't you tell me
00:23:45that you were Nevin Brown's daughter?
00:23:47Ms. Brown is sick.
00:23:49She asked my mentor to take care of her.
00:23:52She asked my mentor to perform on her behalf.
00:23:54I knew it.
00:23:56She's not Mr. Brown's daughter.
00:23:58Charles, what is the matter with you?
00:24:00What was that?
00:24:02Daisy, please wait for me outside in the car.
00:24:04Okay?
00:24:10Dancing like that in front of everyone?
00:24:12Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?
00:24:14How could you let another man
00:24:16touch you like that?
00:24:18Mr. Wade, what?
00:24:21Are you jealous?
00:24:23What nonsense are you talking about?
00:24:25Are you in love with me?
00:24:29Since you're not in love with me,
00:24:31these things have nothing to do with you!
00:24:33You have no right
00:24:35to interfere in my life.
00:24:37Go grab your mistress's arm
00:24:39and get out of here.
00:24:41I didn't mean to pester you like that.
00:24:43We came to ask Ms. Blake
00:24:45to introduce us to Ms. Brown.
00:24:47It's okay she didn't want to help,
00:24:50I bet you asked her to do it
00:24:52to retaliate against us.
00:24:54I never thought about retaliating against you.
00:24:56I don't care whether you marry Elder or not
00:24:58because I don't care about you.
00:25:00It's not worth
00:25:02wasting time
00:25:04hating you.
00:25:12Louis!
00:25:14Sorry I'm late. I was delayed by work.
00:25:16It's okay.
00:25:18Everything's difficult for you?
00:25:20No.
00:25:22Why don't you just tell them
00:25:24you're the heiress to the Brown family?
00:25:26Charles would be scared out of his wits
00:25:28if he knew the truth.
00:25:30If I tell the Wades the truth,
00:25:32they'll refuse to divorce me.
00:25:34This necklace
00:25:36is truly gorgeous.
00:25:38I'm sure I can get a good price for it.
00:25:40This is the Blazing Heart
00:25:42Charles gave me.
00:25:44Where did you find it?
00:25:47What?
00:25:49Yazi Clothing Store is about to file bankruptcy
00:25:51because of what Louis Brown did.
00:25:53Old Mr. Wade's
00:25:55birthday party is coming soon.
00:25:57You need to get
00:25:59into his good graces.
00:26:01After we sell it,
00:26:03we'll attend the Fulton auction
00:26:05and get him a great gift.
00:26:17Charles!
00:26:19Where'd you get the necklace?
00:26:21I found it in your pocket.
00:26:23I love it very much.
00:26:25Thank you for taking care of me.
00:26:27You know why I take care of you.
00:26:29Get out.
00:26:35What if Charles finds out?
00:26:37So what? He's rich.
00:26:39He doesn't care.
00:26:41You'll get what you want
00:26:43when you marry Charles.
00:26:46What do you think?
00:26:50Crystal,
00:26:52guess what I found at the Vancouver Pond Brokerage?
00:26:54What?
00:26:56Ilda's mother pawned a batch of jewelry.
00:26:58Take a look.
00:27:00The Smiths group must be short on capital.
00:27:02They might go bankrupt if they're so willing
00:27:04to sell their family heirloom pieces.
00:27:06This necklace is worth seven figures.
00:27:08They sold it for $800,000.
00:27:10This is a good deal for us.
00:27:12You said we're invited to an auction, right?
00:27:15Yes, the Fulton Auction this Friday.
00:27:17Can you attend it on my behalf?
00:27:19I want a rosewood chair.
00:27:21My budget is $25 million.
00:27:23Me? And what name shall I attend it under?
00:27:25How about
00:27:27the CEO of the Brown Group?
00:27:29I'm considering putting you in charge
00:27:31of my fashion show.
00:27:33If you're able to get the rosewood chair,
00:27:35you'll be crowned CEO of the Brown Group.
00:27:37Your budget's too little.
00:27:39What if I want to buy something else?
00:27:41You can get whatever you want.
00:27:44I know exactly what I want to bring.
00:28:00Charles is here?
00:28:02Why didn't he tell me he was planning to attend?
00:28:04Don't worry about him.
00:28:06Concentrate on the task ahead
00:28:08to find a suitable gift
00:28:10for old Wade's birthday.
00:28:12Check it out.
00:28:14Future mother-in-law here.
00:28:16Should I say hi?
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:20Is there any lot
00:28:22that you find interesting?
00:28:24Yes.
00:28:26I want the
00:28:28antique rosewood chair.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:32Well, that's the lot that I chose the other day.
00:28:34That's the one that I think
00:28:36would be a great present for your grandpa's birthday.
00:28:38That's his taste, definitely.
00:28:41Let me ask the auctioneer
00:28:43to see if he can get creative.
00:28:45Nah, it's okay.
00:28:47I prefer to let the bidding take its place
00:28:49and see.
00:28:51It's no fun without actually watching the auction, right?
00:28:59Good day, ladies.
00:29:01What a small world.
00:29:03Small world, indeed.
00:29:05Crystal, what are you doing here?
00:29:07Miss Brown,
00:29:10I didn't know poor women
00:29:12participated in exclusive auctions.
00:29:14Maybe.
00:29:16It's just another attempt of yours
00:29:18to stain the relationship between my son
00:29:20and Ilda.
00:29:22I hear you're a troublemaker, Miss Brown.
00:29:24Even after your divorce,
00:29:26you're still caught up
00:29:28on your ex-husband?
00:29:30Ex-husband?
00:29:32My wedding certificate is still intact.
00:29:34In fact, we're still married.
00:29:36Maybe you should question whether your daughter
00:29:39considers him her fiancé
00:29:41and he has not even proposed.
00:29:43Doesn't look like
00:29:45there's any seats available next to him.
00:29:47Maybe he didn't even plan
00:29:49to invite her to this auction.
00:29:51Anyway, enjoy the bidding.
00:29:55Mom,
00:29:57where will the bumpkin sit?
00:30:01Mom,
00:30:03I'm going to find a seat close to Charlie's.
00:30:05Go ahead.
00:30:08Miss Smith, your seat's here.
00:30:10What?
00:30:12How dare you block my way? Do you know who I am?
00:30:14I know that you're Mr. Wade's girlfriend,
00:30:16but the chairman of the Fulton Group
00:30:18has specifically set these seats.
00:30:20You can sit next to him even if you were his wife.
00:30:24We'll sit further back.
00:30:26No need to be so fussy.
00:30:28Where is Mr. Brown?
00:30:30Why is he not here?
00:30:32Is he not coming?
00:30:40Who is that?
00:30:42Look at her.
00:30:44She's beautiful.
00:30:46She's beautiful.
00:30:52She's beautiful.
00:30:54She's beautiful.
00:30:57She
00:30:59is my wife.
00:31:01What?
00:31:03She's soon to be
00:31:05my ex-wife.
00:31:07No, there's no way.
00:31:09You said your wife was stupid and boring.
00:31:11Either you're lying or you're just...
00:31:13There's something wrong with you
00:31:15because she's
00:31:17a hundred times better than Hilda,
00:31:19I think. Way better than Hilda.
00:31:23Lewis didn't tell me
00:31:26he'd be attending the auction on his behalf.
00:31:28I didn't even hear...
00:31:34Ladies and gentlemen,
00:31:36welcome to the Fulton auction.
00:31:38Let's get started.
00:31:40Lot number one is a
00:31:42top-notch ancient painting.
00:31:44We will start at one million.
00:31:46It's fake.
00:31:48The real one is at my grandpa's studio.
00:31:50One and a half million.
00:31:52One and a half million.
00:31:55Two million.
00:31:57Three million.
00:31:59Five million.
00:32:05Five million.
00:32:09Six million.
00:32:11Seven million.
00:32:13Eight million.
00:32:15Nine million.
00:32:17Ten million.
00:32:21Ten million dollars?
00:32:24That's a lot, too. It's not even that high of a value.
00:32:26Let me just sold that high. I think it's a pretty good sign.
00:32:28Want me to thank your ex-wife?
00:32:30Or should I thank your future wife?
00:32:34Hilda, don't bid
00:32:36if Crystal raises her paddle again.
00:32:38Ten million is too much.
00:32:40Ten million.
00:32:42Any more bidding?
00:32:46Last chance and fair warning
00:32:48at ten million.
00:32:50Sold!
00:32:52Congratulations, miss.
00:32:58Enjoy the painting.
00:33:00You want to compete with me?
00:33:02That's what you get.
00:33:04I'll take your man and I'll go out too much.
00:33:06We'll never win.
00:33:10Lot number two
00:33:12is also of great value.
00:33:14It is an antique rosewood chair.
00:33:17Charles Kerr, right?
00:33:19I'll open at two million.
00:33:21Please start bidding.
00:33:23Five million.
00:33:25Five million.
00:33:27I didn't expect the bumpkin to bid at five million.
00:33:31She must be bluffing.
00:33:33Seven million.
00:33:35Ten million.
00:33:37Twelve million.
00:33:39Twelve million to this gentleman.
00:33:41She's here on Louis' behalf.
00:33:43I'm competing with him instead of her.
00:33:46Ten million.
00:33:48Any more bidding?
00:33:50Twenty million.
00:33:52Twenty million.
00:33:54Any more bids?
00:33:58Congratulations!
00:34:00The antique rosewood chair
00:34:02has been sold to the downbeat.
00:34:04Lot number three
00:34:06is a high jewel donated by the Brown Group.
00:34:08The necklace's name is Blazing Heart.
00:34:10It's unique in this race.
00:34:12The necklace's name is Blazing Heart.
00:34:15It's unique in this race.
00:34:19Mom, what on earth is going on?
00:34:21I thought you sold the necklace.
00:34:23Why did it show up at the auction?
00:34:25I sold it.
00:34:27I don't know what it's doing here.
00:34:29What should we do now?
00:34:31Charles is here. He knows I sold the necklace.
00:34:33What will he think of me?
00:34:35He must be angry.
00:34:39Calm down.
00:34:41There are many similar necklaces
00:34:44I'm sure he won't recognize it.
00:34:46The auctioneer said there's only one in the world.
00:34:52What is wrong?
00:34:54Suspend the auction.
00:34:56Why?
00:34:58Suspend the auction right now!
00:35:00That necklace is mine!
00:35:04Suspend the auction right now!
00:35:06That necklace is mine!
00:35:14Suspend the auction right now!
00:35:16That necklace is mine!
00:35:18Suspend the auction right now!
00:35:20That necklace is mine!
00:35:22Suspend the auction right now!
00:35:24That necklace is mine!
00:35:26Suspend the auction right now!
00:35:28That necklace is mine!
00:35:30You bitch!
00:35:32You donated the necklace?
00:35:34There's nothing illegal about donating a necklace to an auction.
00:35:36You did it on purpose to get Charles angry.
00:35:38Miss Smith,
00:35:40the world doesn't revolve around you and your boyfriend.
00:35:42I have to go.
00:35:44What are you doing?
00:35:46Let go!
00:35:50Give that back to me now!
00:35:54I have to go.
00:35:56What are you doing?
00:35:58Let go!
00:36:02Give that back to me now!
00:36:06I've wanted this since the day I saw it.
00:36:08The old man insisted on giving it to you!
00:36:12No!
00:36:16Ilda!
00:36:20Charles!
00:36:26Lando,
00:36:28I need your help.
00:36:32Mom!
00:36:34Charles!
00:36:36Ilda, what happened to your arms?
00:36:38I met Miss Brown in the restroom.
00:36:41I took the initiative to say hello and bury the hatchet.
00:36:43She grabbed my arm and refused to let go.
00:36:45And when I tried to break free,
00:36:47the bracelet fell to the ground.
00:36:49She became angry.
00:36:53She just...
00:36:55She just what?
00:36:57What did she do?
00:36:59Crystal!
00:37:01How dare you hurt Ilda!
00:37:03I swear to God, if anything happens to my grandson,
00:37:05I will bury you alive!
00:37:08I swear to God, if anything happens to my grandson,
00:37:10I will bury you alive!
00:37:12She cut my daughter.
00:37:14That whore is after her baby.
00:37:16Crystal,
00:37:18is it true?
00:37:20Did you cut her?
00:37:22Yeah, I cut her.
00:37:24Do you want to retaliate against me?
00:37:26Don't play any more of your games.
00:37:28I'll ask you one more time.
00:37:30Did you hurt her on purpose?
00:37:32Charles,
00:37:34she already admitted it.
00:37:37She's lying again.
00:37:39Tossed, you see?
00:37:41She's vicious, don't you see?
00:37:43My daughter's pregnant.
00:37:45Do you want to put her in more danger?
00:37:47Crystal, you weren't so violent
00:37:49when you lived at the Wave Mansion.
00:37:51I didn't expect you to harm people at will.
00:37:53Apologize to her.
00:37:57No!
00:38:01Apologize to her.
00:38:04No!
00:38:06How dare you?
00:38:08You stupid bitch!
00:38:10You deserve it.
00:38:12My bracelet was a gift from Grandpa.
00:38:14Crystal, you are going too far.
00:38:16She is pregnant.
00:38:18Listen carefully, all of you.
00:38:20From today on, Elda and I are at Dagestan.
00:38:22One more mishap and one of us is going to end up like the bracelet.
00:38:24Miss Brown, stop.
00:38:26Your hand is bleeding.
00:38:28It's fine.
00:38:30You need this on it.
00:38:32You have not apologized.
00:38:38She didn't do it.
00:38:42You have not apologized.
00:38:46She didn't do it.
00:38:48Who are you?
00:38:50What nonsense are you talking about, little girl?
00:38:54She was alone with Elda in the washroom just now.
00:38:58She's the only one who could have done it.
00:39:01No, she did not do it.
00:39:03It's none of your business.
00:39:05Now get lost.
00:39:11Sir, she did not hurt that lady.
00:39:15Why do you say so?
00:39:17Because I saw what happened in the washroom.
00:39:19I saw her arguing with the pretty lady.
00:39:21The pretty lady wanted to leave.
00:39:23But then,
00:39:25the pregnant lady snatched her bracelet,
00:39:27broke it,
00:39:30and ran off crying.
00:39:32I'm sure the pretty lady didn't touch her.
00:39:34I saw everything.
00:39:38I'm sure the pretty lady didn't touch her.
00:39:40I saw everything.
00:39:42Charles, she's just a kid.
00:39:44She doesn't know what she saw.
00:39:46Yeah, hang on.
00:39:48I think she actually sounds pretty clear and logical to me.
00:39:54Crystal didn't touch you, did she?
00:39:56You're just slandering her.
00:39:59No, why don't you believe me?
00:40:03I don't feel well.
00:40:05Oh, I'm so tired of your theatrics.
00:40:09Okay, we need to talk.
00:40:11Charles, Ilda needs to rest.
00:40:13All of this is just too much for the baby.
00:40:15We need to talk now!
00:40:17Charles, it was me.
00:40:19I'm the one who sold the necklace.
00:40:21Is that what you like to talk about?
00:40:23I just want to know the truth, okay?
00:40:26I just want to know the truth, okay?
00:40:28Charles,
00:40:30do you suspect I framed Crystal?
00:40:32Your ex-wife cheated on you,
00:40:34but you believe her instead of me?
00:40:36That little girl has no reason to lie.
00:40:38She said Crystal didn't touch you.
00:40:42That girl is too young and easily fooled.
00:40:46Besides, who knows which corner she was in?
00:40:48I'm sure she did not see all of the details.
00:40:52Mom,
00:40:54please be quiet.
00:40:56Ilda,
00:40:58why did you frame her?
00:41:00Answer me!
00:41:02I didn't frame her.
00:41:04I told you not to cause trouble with Crystal.
00:41:06And I didn't.
00:41:16Ilda!
00:41:18Ilda,
00:41:20you need to rest.
00:41:23Make that bitch pay for what she did.
00:41:25Sooner or later.
00:41:31Here.
00:41:33Lot three for our highest
00:41:35and angriest bidder, Mr. Wade.
00:41:39You can throw it away for what I care.
00:41:41With all the fuss
00:41:43and the publicity, this thing is probably worth a whole lot more now.
00:41:45Her mother sold it
00:41:47for a fraction of its real value
00:41:49to a pawn brokerage.
00:41:52For some reason, I feel you're still more upset at Crystal than Ilda.
00:41:54Crystal gave the necklace to the auction just to upset me.
00:41:56That was a smart move.
00:41:58You just have to recognize it.
00:42:00I'm sorry.
00:42:02Who am I talking to? Crystal's biggest fan?
00:42:04Why are you so interested in her?
00:42:06She's just really charming.
00:42:08Okay, I'm sorry. I can't help myself.
00:42:12You are flirting with five.
00:42:16Well,
00:42:18what I don't understand
00:42:21is why do you have to be with Ilda?
00:42:23You saw what happened yesterday.
00:42:25Those women almost ate Ms. Brown alive.
00:42:29Are you truly in love with her?
00:42:31Ilda and I have
00:42:33long broken up.
00:42:35She's not pregnant with my child.
00:42:39She's not pregnant
00:42:41with my child.
00:42:43What?
00:42:45The child belongs to my late brother.
00:42:47I just claim it's mine to avoid
00:42:50unnecessary trouble.
00:42:52That's why you feel you have to protect Ilda?
00:42:54Even though you knew she was trying to frame Crystal?
00:42:56Yes, but why did Crystal
00:42:58admit to have cut Ilda instead of telling the truth?
00:43:00I don't know.
00:43:02Probably because at this point in time,
00:43:04she doesn't care about Ilda's little tricks.
00:43:10I have to go.
00:43:12Just try to rest
00:43:14for something.
00:43:16Because tomorrow
00:43:18is another day.
00:43:30Sorry, the number you dialed
00:43:32is busy at the moment.
00:43:34Crystal, are you avoiding me?
00:43:37Lewis Brown.
00:43:39I want to talk to Crystal.
00:43:41She's not available now.
00:43:43When will she have time?
00:43:45She will never be available for you.
00:43:51I know what happened at the Fulton auction.
00:43:53I can explain.
00:43:55Please, I just need to talk to her.
00:43:59Crystal is where I draw the line.
00:44:01I can explain.
00:44:04Crystal is where I draw the line.
00:44:06This is your last warning.
00:44:08Discipline your fiance and your family.
00:44:10And if they cause trouble to Crystal again,
00:44:12it'll be my turn to retaliate
00:44:14and it won't be pretty.
00:44:22Ethan?
00:44:24Sir?
00:44:28Mr. Brown won't let me
00:44:30contact Crystal
00:44:33and there's no way to get to her.
00:44:35I think we should call the police,
00:44:37report a missing person.
00:44:39Your divorce is far from being finalized.
00:44:41It's well within reason for you to ask
00:44:43about your wife's whereabouts.
00:44:45I believe you can find her by doing so.
00:44:47Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:44:49I think that at the time between
00:44:51filing a divorce and waiting
00:44:53we won't have much time.
00:44:55I know where she is.
00:44:57I need to see her now.
00:44:59What else would you suggest then?
00:45:02She changed her phone number.
00:45:04You don't know any of her close friends.
00:45:06Theoretically, the only person
00:45:08you can turn to is Mr. Brown
00:45:10and he's quite unwilling to help.
00:45:12Ethan,
00:45:14get the car ready.
00:45:16We're going to the Brownsville headquarters.
00:45:18Yes, sir.
00:45:26This chair is quite comfortable.
00:45:28It makes being the CEO already worth it.
00:45:30Crystal,
00:45:32Charles contacted me earlier today.
00:45:34Charles?
00:45:36What did he want?
00:45:38I didn't let him talk.
00:45:40I told him not to contact you again,
00:45:42but I don't know what he was thinking.
00:45:44Good job.
00:45:46Mr. Waite, you cannot go in.
00:45:48You do not have an appointment.
00:45:50Mr. Brown,
00:45:52I want to talk to you about the fashion show.
00:45:54Charles,
00:45:56don't let him in.
00:45:59Mr. Waite,
00:46:01this is trespassing on private property.
00:46:03Please leave before I call security.
00:46:11Sure enough,
00:46:13you are here.
00:46:19CEO of the Brown Group?
00:46:23You?
00:46:26Are you really trespassing on our property?
00:46:28Shut up with this nonsense
00:46:30and how about you answer some questions?
00:46:32Mr. Waite, Crystal filed for divorce.
00:46:34Where she is or whether or not she's the CEO
00:46:36of the Brown Group has nothing to do with you.
00:46:38Does old Mr. Brown know about this?
00:46:40Yes, he does.
00:46:42And he's happy about it.
00:46:44I'm not in the mood for any more of your games.
00:46:46I need your new phone number.
00:46:48Grandfather might want to contact you soon.
00:46:50I'll give it to him myself.
00:46:52I don't need you to be the middleman.
00:46:55His birthday is coming up soon
00:46:57and you better not be plotting another one of your scenes.
00:47:01I would first talk to your fiancé about it.
00:47:03She's a diva
00:47:05who loves the drama and the theatrics.
00:47:17What's this painting?
00:47:21I've seen it at Grandfather's collection.
00:47:24Goodbye, Charles.
00:47:32Grandpa's birthday is coming up
00:47:34so he's been very kind to me.
00:47:38We must carefully prepare the gift.
00:47:48Ilda, what gift did you prepare for Grandpa's birthday?
00:47:50I will give him the antique painting
00:47:52I bought at the auction.
00:47:54You're so generous.
00:47:56I'm sure Grandpa will love it.
00:47:58I'm wondering if the bumpkin will make an appearance.
00:48:00The only gift she can bring is more drama.
00:48:02Ilda, please try to behave well
00:48:04in front of Grandpa
00:48:06so that Crystal doesn't cause us any more trouble.
00:48:08I'll try my best like I always do.
00:48:18Hello, Grandpa. Happy birthday.
00:48:21Yes, happy birthday, Andrew.
00:48:31Crystal, this is no place for you.
00:48:33What the hell are you doing here?
00:48:35I invited her.
00:48:37Don't you dare bully her.
00:48:41I invited her.
00:48:43Don't you dare bully her.
00:48:47Here, Grandpa. Let me help you.
00:48:50That's okay, thank you.
00:48:52Crystal and Charles will help me.
00:48:54Grandfather, we're getting a divorce.
00:48:56This isn't appropriate.
00:48:58Yes, Dad.
00:49:00Louis Brown picked up Crystal
00:49:02as soon as she walked out of this house.
00:49:04She is dating him.
00:49:06So whatever you do,
00:49:08please don't force Crystal and Charles to be together.
00:49:10Crystal, are you dating Mr. Brown?
00:49:12Grandfather, don't blame her.
00:49:14I don't owe her anything.
00:49:16She is with Mr. Brown
00:49:19and I sincerely wish her...
00:49:23What else can you do?
00:49:25Good for Mr. Brown.
00:49:27He found himself a fine girlfriend.
00:49:29You're half as lucky as him.
00:49:37Grandpa, I'm sorry for hiding it from you.
00:49:39That's okay, kid.
00:49:41I just want you to be happy.
00:49:43Oh, Grandpa.
00:49:45Today is your birthday.
00:49:48Let's go ahead and open the gifts we prepared for you.
00:49:50Yes, let's just open the presents.
00:49:52Grandpa,
00:49:54this is the gift I prepared for you.
00:50:00Ilda knows that you adore antique paintings
00:50:02so she bought it for you at the auction.
00:50:04An antique painting?
00:50:06Marvelous!
00:50:08Thank you, Ilda.
00:50:12Is that a genuine painting?
00:50:14Looks like an imitation.
00:50:16Are you kidding me?
00:50:18I spent $10,000,000 on it at the Fulton auction.
00:50:20Why would it be a fake?
00:50:22$10,000,000?
00:50:24This painting is barely worth $1,000,000.
00:50:26The Fulton Group never takes fakes at its auctions.
00:50:28It's a low-quality imitation.
00:50:30You are a fool for believing that it was real.
00:50:36What do you mean?
00:50:38You also bid for this painting.
00:50:40If it were an imitation, you wouldn't have competed with me for it.
00:50:42I did not compete.
00:50:45You plotted against me.
00:50:47If you hadn't enticed me,
00:50:49I wouldn't have spent $10,000,000
00:50:51on this imitation.
00:50:53It's all your fault!
00:50:55What nonsense are you talking about?
00:50:57I never enticed you into buying anything.
00:50:59You kept going even though the painting is not worth it.
00:51:01You knew it was an imitation.
00:51:03You set up a trap for me.
00:51:05I did not set a trap!
00:51:07I bid on the painting because it reminded me
00:51:09of the good times I spent with Grandpa.
00:51:11He has the real version of the painting.
00:51:14I wanted to buy it to keep those happy memories alive.
00:51:16You tricked me.
00:51:18No.
00:51:20I simply just gave up because you wanted the painting
00:51:22so bad to the point that
00:51:24you were willing to spend $10,000,000
00:51:26on it.
00:51:28I thought it was important to you.
00:51:30So, I didn't want to interfere.
00:51:32I don't know why you're blaming me.
00:51:34If you're angry,
00:51:36I can buy it off you and then I'll make up for your losses.
00:51:38You're lying.
00:51:44It's a misunderstanding.
00:51:46That's all. No need to argue.
00:51:48Ilda barely goes on such occasions.
00:51:50I mean, she's not even familiar with the world of auctions.
00:51:52And
00:51:54many people competed for this painting.
00:51:56Oh, and Ilda,
00:51:58your mother just called, hon.
00:52:00Something urgent came up. You must go home.
00:52:02My mother?
00:52:04Yes, you must hurry. You gotta go. Don't keep her waiting.
00:52:14Bradley?
00:52:16I need your help with something.
00:52:18I need you
00:52:20to help me get rid of a woman.
00:52:22When?
00:52:24As soon as possible.
00:52:26Don't forget our agreement.
00:52:28I won't.
00:52:30I'll be right back.
00:52:44Grandpa,
00:52:46I have a special gift for you.
00:52:48This is a gift
00:52:50Louis and I prepared for you.
00:52:52We wish you all the health and happiness.
00:52:54A rosewood chair.
00:52:56Oh, it's too, too expensive.
00:52:58Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:53:00Crystal didn't spend her own money on it.
00:53:02She used Louis's company money
00:53:04and had servants bring it here,
00:53:06so she didn't lift a finger for it.
00:53:08I didn't use the company's money.
00:53:10I spent my own.
00:53:13I also got you another gift, a small one.
00:53:15Another gift?
00:53:17Oh, I'm just so excited.
00:53:21I drew it myself.
00:53:23I know that it's inferior to most paintings
00:53:25you collect, but
00:53:27I hope you like it.
00:53:29It's marvelous. Crystal,
00:53:31how long's it been since I've had one of your
00:53:33marvelous paintings?
00:53:35Too, too long.
00:53:37Now I can put another one of your paintings
00:53:39in my treasure house.
00:53:43Get away from me!
00:53:45What's going on? You can barely stand.
00:53:47I'd rather fall than have you save me.
00:53:49Get over yourself.
00:53:51Enough of this spiteful persona you're putting up.
00:53:53You are so used to having
00:53:55a loving and servile wife.
00:53:57You can't stand the person I've become
00:53:59since the day you courted me.
00:54:01Courted you?
00:54:03Yes.
00:54:05I've been courting you.
00:54:07I've been courting you.
00:54:09I've been courting you.
00:54:12I've been courting you.
00:54:14You courted me from the start.
00:54:16You started it.
00:54:18And now you're ending it.
00:54:20Don't forget we're getting a divorce.
00:54:22Things have changed over the years.
00:54:24I used to be obsessed
00:54:26with you.
00:54:28And now I can't wait to get rid of you.
00:54:32Crystal, why are you doing this?
00:54:34Who have you turned into?
00:54:36I am so sick of you
00:54:38and your mother
00:54:40and your fiancé all playing tricks on me!
00:54:42You are the one who keeps lying!
00:54:44You're driving me crazy!
00:54:46I am not lying.
00:54:48With your selfishness
00:54:50and indifference,
00:54:52I went from being disappointed to despair.
00:54:54I no longer have expectations
00:54:56for you.
00:54:58And I have no desire to share.
00:55:00Don't you get why I'm doing this?
00:55:02I don't.
00:55:05Yes.
00:55:07Crystal,
00:55:09do you still love me?
00:55:11That is a stupid question to ask.
00:55:13Show me some respect.
00:55:15Do you love Louis?
00:55:17Yes.
00:55:21I really don't.
00:55:23You're dating him just to anger me.
00:55:27The world does not revolve around you, Mr. Wade.
00:55:31This just goes to show how much you hate me!
00:55:34Dating a man you don't love just to make me unhappy!
00:55:36Are you unhappy?
00:55:40Really?
00:55:42Well, I'm happy to hear it.
00:55:44You are shameless
00:55:46and despicable!
00:55:48I should have seen your true colors from the start!
00:55:52Marrying you is the biggest mistake
00:55:54I've ever made.
00:55:58Grandpa's birthday
00:56:00is about to end.
00:56:03Please have time to sign the divorce papers.
00:56:05I want it done before midnight.
00:56:23Who's there?
00:56:25This is private property!
00:56:27You cannot trespass! Come out!
00:56:29I'm serious!
00:56:32I will call the security team if you do not come out!
00:56:34Are you Crystal Brown?
00:56:38You know my name.
00:56:40Then reveal your identity
00:56:42and respectfully use your manners
00:56:44as a man and not one of a thief!
00:56:46Go to hell!
00:56:52Charles, are you okay?
00:56:58Charles, are you okay?
00:57:00Are you okay?
00:57:02I'm fine. You've been stabbed.
00:57:04Crystal!
00:57:06Are you injured?
00:57:08He's been stabbed!
00:57:10Call an ambulance now!
00:57:12Okay.
00:57:14Crystal, I'm sorry.
00:57:16I shouldn't have yelled at you.
00:57:18It's fine. I forgive you.
00:57:20I won't let that happen again.
00:57:22I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:57:24Stop talking.
00:57:27You're wounded.
00:57:29Charles, don't close your eyes.
00:57:31No, don't fall asleep.
00:57:33Charles, wake up!
00:57:35Charles!
00:57:41Charles, I thought you hated me.
00:57:43Why would you risk your life saving me?
00:57:45I can't figure out what you're thinking.
00:57:53Oh, you're awake.
00:57:56I think it's time for me to go.
00:58:04Please,
00:58:06don't go.
00:58:08You're injured.
00:58:10Your doctor said you needed time for rehabilitation.
00:58:12You can't stand
00:58:14or you can't move.
00:58:16It might reopen your wound.
00:58:20What's your password?
00:58:22It's your birthday.
00:58:25No, that was last week.
00:58:27The password.
00:58:29It's your birthday.
00:58:35You have my phone number now.
00:58:37Call me if you need anything.
00:58:41Eden,
00:58:43take good care of him.
00:58:45Yes, ma'am.
00:58:47I'm gonna go now.
00:58:49I'll come visit you later.
00:58:55Mr. Wade,
00:58:57Ms. Smith has just transferred
00:58:59eight million out of her bank account.
00:59:03Why did she suddenly transfer so much money out?
00:59:05Find out.
00:59:11I'm gonna go now.
00:59:13I'll come visit you later.
00:59:25I wasn't expecting
00:59:27Charles to risk his life to protect you.
00:59:29It's good that he has some conscience.
00:59:31Glad you're safe, though.
00:59:33Lando, I'm fine.
00:59:37I had some time to put some thoughts into what happened.
00:59:41Somebody is working behind the scenes.
00:59:43Now I know they hired somebody to assault me.
00:59:45What do you think we should do?
00:59:47That man is Waylonese.
00:59:49I recognize
00:59:51the tattoo that is on his neck.
00:59:54It's a gang of fighters that practices ancient martial arts.
01:00:00How's the investigation going with Ilda?
01:00:02Do you have anything useful?
01:00:04Yeah, I do.
01:00:06Look.
01:00:08Oh, my God.
01:00:14Oh, my God.
01:00:16This is great.
01:00:18Where did you get these photos?
01:00:20From Ilda's Instagram.
01:00:22I spent quite a bit of time investigating the most popular ones.
01:00:24That's where I found these.
01:00:26Well done.
01:00:28Lando, this is remarkable.
01:00:30I found this man's activities quite suspicious.
01:00:32So I hacked his Instagram and looked through his photo album.
01:00:34That's where I found these.
01:00:36He's a fitness coach
01:00:38with a lot of followers.
01:00:46The tattoo on his neck
01:00:48is identical to the man who attacked me.
01:00:51He's Waylonese, just like the attacker was.
01:00:53This could very well be the same person.
01:00:55So you think the person who's Ilda having an affair with
01:00:57is the person who attacked you?
01:00:59Honestly, that would not surprise me.
01:01:01Please find him.
01:01:03I want to meet my attacker in person.
01:01:17A fighter?
01:01:20A Waylonese and a gambler.
01:01:22He's in a lot of debt.
01:01:24Casinos,
01:01:26banks,
01:01:28loan sharks are all looking for him.
01:01:30He went into hiding,
01:01:32but I was able to find his location.
01:01:34Debts.
01:01:36That's why he tried to blackmail Ilda.
01:01:40Ilda took advantage of his greed
01:01:42and offered him a lot of money in exchange.
01:01:44She would do anything to take you down.
01:01:47Big bad movie.
01:01:53Miss Brown,
01:01:55I am so sorry.
01:01:57I know it was wrong.
01:01:59Please don't kill me.
01:02:01Answer my questions if you want to live.
01:02:07Answer my questions if you want to live.
01:02:09Please, go ahead.
01:02:11I'll tell you everything I know.
01:02:13What is your relationship with Ilda?
01:02:16I was her fitness instructor.
01:02:18We got closer and she seduced me
01:02:20and we ended up getting together.
01:02:22She's a slut, okay?
01:02:24She used me.
01:02:26Why would you say that?
01:02:28She took advantage of me and my debt.
01:02:30She made me do things for her,
01:02:32like hurting you and others.
01:02:34Were you romantically involved?
01:02:36Yeah.
01:02:38She told me she loved me.
01:02:40But then she'd only ever call
01:02:42when she wanted me to do her dirty work.
01:02:44Yeah.
01:02:46Yeah, I was.
01:02:48But she didn't care about me anymore.
01:02:50She just wanted help getting rid of people.
01:02:54Do you know that she's pregnant?
01:02:58Judging from your expression,
01:03:00I guess you know.
01:03:02I know.
01:03:04Ilda's pregnant with my child.
01:03:08Ilda's pregnant with my child.
01:03:10It's your child?
01:03:13Ilda told me it was Charles's.
01:03:15It's not.
01:03:17We were together abroad.
01:03:19I don't even know where or when
01:03:21she hooked up with Mr. Wade.
01:03:23All I know is that she dumped me
01:03:25and then suddenly she's here.
01:03:27What if he wants to get a paternity test?
01:03:29Isn't Ilda scared?
01:03:31Phone is calling.
01:03:35Who's Ashley?
01:03:37It's Ilda.
01:03:39Answer the phone and tell her
01:03:42do as I say
01:03:44and don't play any tricks.
01:03:49How's Crystal?
01:03:53She's in the ICU.
01:03:55Good job.
01:03:57She will suffer more.
01:03:59I hope she lies there for the rest of her life.
01:04:05I've transferred $8 million to you.
01:04:07I'll give you the rest
01:04:09after my engagement ceremony.
01:04:12Well done.
01:04:14You're a good actor.
01:04:16We're going to keep you here.
01:04:18We will need you to
01:04:20cooperate with us for the fashion show.
01:04:28Charles is so stupid.
01:04:30Ilda made a cuckold of him
01:04:32and he still gave her
01:04:34so much money.
01:04:36Crystal,
01:04:38what should we do now?
01:04:41Should we release Bradley
01:04:43and let him teach Ilda a lesson?
01:04:45I've always saved the most delicious food
01:04:47for last since childhood.
01:04:49I will send the invitations out
01:04:51to the fashion show to both the Smith
01:04:53and the Wade group.
01:04:55We will then launch our final attack.
01:04:57Ilda wants a spotlight so badly.
01:05:01This is her time to shine.
01:05:03Mr. Wade.
01:05:05How's the investigation going?
01:05:07Well,
01:05:09Ms. Smith transferred the money
01:05:11to an overseas account.
01:05:13It was done discreetly
01:05:15as if she was afraid
01:05:17of being discovered.
01:05:21Anything on the attacker?
01:05:23He knew where the CCTV cameras were placed.
01:05:25Approached Ms. Brown
01:05:27in a corner where the cameras
01:05:29couldn't capture her.
01:05:32I'd assume he's familiar
01:05:34with the property
01:05:36or knows someone who is.
01:05:40Also,
01:05:42I've been thinking.
01:05:44Say it.
01:05:46Ms. Brown is attacked
01:05:48right as Ms. Smith transferred out the money.
01:05:50Didn't you think that was strange?
01:05:52Maybe too much
01:05:54of a coincidence?
01:05:56Almost as if Ilda
01:05:58has something to do with the attack.
01:06:01That is the detail that's been on my mind since.
01:06:13I heard that the Bramboot fashion show
01:06:15has never been open to outsiders.
01:06:17Everyone required a special invitation
01:06:19to attend.
01:06:21Even big shots in the fashion industry
01:06:23couldn't get in despite their
01:06:25painstaking effort.
01:06:27We've worked hard
01:06:30and the Smith Group is now finally getting the recognition
01:06:32it so deserves.
01:06:34Couldn't agree more.
01:06:36Kara, now that our families are on the rise,
01:06:38we should host an engagement ceremony
01:06:40between Charles
01:06:42and Ilda.
01:06:44That sounds great.
01:06:46Let's discuss it in more detail
01:06:48after the fashion show.
01:06:50I look forward to it.
01:06:52Why is Ilda's smoke here?
01:06:54The Smith Group makes low-quality clothing.
01:06:57The media already exposed
01:06:59how they make cheap labor.
01:07:01How can they have the nerve
01:07:03to attend such a high-class fashion show?
01:07:05What are you talking about?
01:07:07The Brown Group invited me
01:07:09and rightfully so.
01:07:11I'm going to show this city that the Smith Group
01:07:13deserves a place at the top.
01:07:19Why do you think the Browns Group
01:07:21even sent you an invitation?
01:07:23What do you think it was because maybe
01:07:25it was to say thank you for saving Crystal?
01:07:29Why did you call her Crystal?
01:07:31Why do you care how I call her?
01:07:33Are you still in love with her?
01:07:37Look, I just don't want you to sniff around too much.
01:07:39I'm not sniffing around at all.
01:07:41I'm serious.
01:07:43Now that you are getting divorced,
01:07:45I'm sure I'll be the only one ready to court her.
01:07:47I won't allow you to court her.
01:07:49It's not a good look
01:07:51if my best friend jumps on my wife
01:07:54She's already dating other people, though.
01:07:56Take the Lewis guy, for example.
01:08:00It doesn't matter.
01:08:02I don't want you to have any plans about her.
01:08:06Sorry if I brought it up.
01:08:10Okay, this show is starting
01:08:12right now, so we've got to go.
01:08:14We've got to go, actually.
01:08:18Let's do this.
01:08:24Ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:26welcome to the Brown Group's fashion show.
01:08:28I'm so pleased to have you all here
01:08:30to celebrate this evening.
01:08:32She is gorgeous and all,
01:08:34but why is she even here?
01:08:36Crystal?
01:08:38Wasn't this bitch in the ICU?
01:08:40What is she doing here?
01:08:42She's giving the opening speech.
01:08:44What is the Brown family thinking?
01:08:46Crystal, no!
01:08:48Crystal, no!
01:08:50Crystal, no!
01:08:53Crystal, what are you doing here?
01:08:55This is the Brown Group fashion show.
01:08:57Even big shots in the industry
01:08:59couldn't get in.
01:09:01You are just a poor tailor.
01:09:03You are not qualified
01:09:05to be here.
01:09:07You have no say in whether I'm qualified
01:09:09to host this fashion show.
01:09:11One thing is for sure,
01:09:13with your interruption,
01:09:15you just spoiled this event
01:09:17for everyone in attendance.
01:09:19You should leave.
01:09:22Crystal,
01:09:24I'm so sorry for Jessica's rude words.
01:09:26Somehow she has forgotten
01:09:28that you are Mr. Brown's
01:09:30mistress.
01:09:32If he wants you to give the opening speech
01:09:34at such an important event, then so be it.
01:09:36This is Louis' mistress.
01:09:38This is supposed to be a prestigious
01:09:40event, and they have her
01:09:42giving the opening speech?
01:09:44Is the Brown family trying to insult us?
01:09:46By judging
01:09:48from her temperament,
01:09:51it seems like she comes from a decent family.
01:09:53You keep slandering me
01:09:55and calling me mistress.
01:09:57I came here tonight as a CEO
01:09:59of the Browns Group.
01:10:01Please leave if you have any objections or doubts.
01:10:03Ms. Brown,
01:10:05you persist to include yourself
01:10:07into circles you don't belong to.
01:10:09Soon enough,
01:10:11Mr. Brown will abandon you as well.
01:10:13Why are we engaging this scoundrel?
01:10:15Enough of her!
01:10:17Security!
01:10:19Come get this crazy woman out of here!
01:10:23Security!
01:10:25Please come get this crazy woman out of here!
01:10:27Security! Hurry up!
01:10:31Ladies,
01:10:33enough is enough.
01:10:35This nonsense needs to stop.
01:10:37Mr. Brown, I'm so glad
01:10:39you came at the right time.
01:10:41This woman here is claiming to be the CEO
01:10:43of the Brown Group.
01:10:45I don't know what she's thinking.
01:10:47She's being really delusional
01:10:49and spoiling the event for everyone here.
01:10:51She's a vicious social climber.
01:10:53Don't be fooled by her tricks.
01:10:55Enough with the insults!
01:10:57Why do you keep defending her?
01:10:59She needs to be punished,
01:11:01once and for all.
01:11:03Crystal, come here.
01:11:07Dad.
01:11:17Dad?
01:11:19How is it possible?
01:11:21She's an abandoned woman.
01:11:23How could she be the heiress to the Brown family?
01:11:25Crystal, we've been married three years.
01:11:27Why'd you hide your true identity from me?
01:11:29Yes,
01:11:31I'm Crystal Brown,
01:11:33the heiress of the Brown family.
01:11:35I've never appeared in the public before.
01:11:37I hid my identity
01:11:39to avoid any unnecessary troubles.
01:11:41Charles,
01:11:43after all our troubles,
01:11:45we decided to get a divorce.
01:11:47I didn't want to add any unnecessary pressures
01:11:49on our decision declaring
01:11:51my true identity.
01:11:53I wanted to part ways as friends.
01:11:55Crystal is my sister.
01:11:57She was the one that begged us to help you.
01:11:59If it wasn't for her,
01:12:01the Wade Group would have gone bankrupt
01:12:03three years ago.
01:12:05Who cares if she's the heiress to the Brown family?
01:12:07After all the sacrifices you made,
01:12:09Charles dumped you anyway.
01:12:11Shut up!
01:12:13This is my final warning.
01:12:15I will not tolerate any more of your insults.
01:12:17You'll suffer the consequences of your words
01:12:19if you continue with this behavior.
01:12:21Ashley.
01:12:25What?
01:12:27What's wrong?
01:12:29Isn't Ashley
01:12:31your fake name?
01:12:33Or is it your real one?
01:12:35I don't know who Ashley is.
01:12:37I've never heard of that name.
01:12:39What nonsense are you talking about?
01:12:41You can change your name,
01:12:43but you can't erase the past.
01:12:45If people closely investigate you,
01:12:47they'll find clues.
01:12:49They'll find the real you.
01:13:03What is it?
01:13:05Oh my gosh!
01:13:07Oh my gosh!
01:13:09Is the woman in the photo
01:13:11Miss Smith?
01:13:13Wow, Miss Smith looks so
01:13:15conservative and graceful.
01:13:17I wasn't expecting her to be so wild.
01:13:19What is this?
01:13:21This is a fake photo.
01:13:23Hurry and delete it.
01:13:25Don't believe a word she said.
01:13:27No, that photo was real.
01:13:29Hilda's story
01:13:31and identity is fake.
01:13:33The man in the photo is me.
01:13:35Hilda's pregnant with my child.
01:13:37No, that photo was real.
01:13:39Hilda's story
01:13:41and identity is fake.
01:13:43The man in the photo is me.
01:13:45Hilda's pregnant with my child.
01:13:47No!
01:13:49It's all a lie.
01:13:51I don't know this man.
01:13:53This is ridiculous.
01:13:55What's going on?
01:13:57You stinky scoundrel!
01:13:59Where did you come from?
01:14:01How dare you slander my daughter?
01:14:03Security, kick this man out.
01:14:05No. Security, hold on.
01:14:07Charles, he's trying to frame me.
01:14:09I don't know this man. He's trying to ruin my reputation.
01:14:11I'm not slandering you, Hilda.
01:14:13We were together long before
01:14:15you met Mr. Wade.
01:14:17I will sue you for defamation
01:14:19and for spreading rumors. I won't get you arrested.
01:14:21Well, then I will
01:14:23sue you for custody of my child.
01:14:25This is a paternity test report.
01:14:27Take a look.
01:14:33This?
01:14:35It was all a lie?
01:14:37You?
01:14:39How dare you!
01:14:41You told me it was my brother's child.
01:14:43I've tolerated you over and over again
01:14:45because of the baby and fear of ruining
01:14:47my brother's reputation.
01:14:49But it's not my brother's blood.
01:14:51You are a liar!
01:14:53No! Charles, don't listen to him.
01:14:55It's all in here.
01:14:57In this paternity test.
01:14:59I've witnessed your cruelty
01:15:01against Crystal
01:15:03and all the lies you spread through my family.
01:15:05It's all fabricated.
01:15:07I've had enough of you.
01:15:09All fabricated by this man.
01:15:11I don't know him. I've never seen him before
01:15:13in my life!
01:15:19Are you Hilda Smith and Bradley Peterson?
01:15:21Why are the police here?
01:15:23What? What do you want?
01:15:25You're under arrest for attempted murder.
01:15:27You have the right to remain silent.
01:15:29Everything you say
01:15:31can and will be used against you
01:15:33by a court of law.
01:15:35What's going on here?
01:15:37Hilda!
01:15:41So, Hilda hired Bradley
01:15:43to kill Crystal.
01:15:49Instead, she's the one that's fallen.
01:15:55I did not expect Miss Smith
01:15:57to be so ruthless.
01:15:59First, she humiliates Miss Brown,
01:16:01tries to murder her,
01:16:03all while paying the man that she was secretly with?
01:16:05Yeah.
01:16:07You can't judge a book by its cover.
01:16:09Some people are good at pretending.
01:16:11All the women from the Wade family
01:16:13seem to have malicious intents.
01:16:17Poor Miss Brown.
01:16:19She must have been through a lot.
01:16:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:29welcome to the annual Brown Group's
01:16:31fashion gala.
01:16:33Today, I wanted to take the opportunity
01:16:35to publicly introduce my daughter,
01:16:37Crystal Brown.
01:16:39And I knew this was going to cause
01:16:41a little bit of fuss in the industry.
01:16:43Didn't quite expect
01:16:45police presence
01:16:47and people being arrested.
01:16:49But,
01:16:51as of tomorrow,
01:16:53I will be stepping down as the CEO,
01:16:55and Crystal will be our new
01:16:57CEO of Brown Group Corporation.
01:16:59Dad!
01:17:01Crystal, come on.
01:17:03You know that you're the most suited
01:17:05for this position.
01:17:07Lando, Lewis,
01:17:09they're off doing their own thing.
01:17:11It's time for me to retire.
01:17:21Oh, you just go ahead.
01:17:25I
01:17:27underestimated you.
01:17:29You didn't.
01:17:31You insulted me and humiliated me
01:17:33for three years long,
01:17:35pushing Charles to cheat on me with Ilda
01:17:37without considering the repercussions
01:17:39of my sanity.
01:17:41That's right.
01:17:43I wasn't very kind to you,
01:17:45and I lacked respect for who you were,
01:17:47so that's why I want to apologize to you.
01:17:49I never meant to hurt you
01:17:51or Charles,
01:17:53or anyone in your family,
01:17:55and yet you apologize to me now
01:17:57because you discover that I'm the heiress
01:17:59of the Brown family.
01:18:01No.
01:18:03I want to apologize to you now
01:18:05because I never saw you for who you are.
01:18:07And you do deserve to be part of this
01:18:09great family.
01:18:11You truly do.
01:18:13Whatever happens between you and Charles,
01:18:15I just hope that both of you
01:18:17find some happiness.
01:18:19Aren't you going to stay and enjoy the show,
01:18:21Miss Wade?
01:18:23I've already enjoyed myself long enough.
01:18:25I'm going to go home and get some rest.
01:18:27Oh,
01:18:29and please,
01:18:31Crystal, be kind to Charles.
01:18:33He's just a man
01:18:35looking for real love.
01:18:49So,
01:18:51the police called.
01:18:53They wanted to talk to you.
01:18:55What else is there to talk about?
01:18:57They want to know if you want to press charges
01:18:59against both Ilda and Bradley.
01:19:01They already arrested them.
01:19:03They're investigating their stories,
01:19:05and clearly Ilda seems to be the brain
01:19:07behind all their operations.
01:19:09I don't care about Bradley.
01:19:11I pressed charges against Ilda.
01:19:13She should pay for what she did to me and Charles.
01:19:15They showed me the text
01:19:17They showed me the text she sent you
01:19:19pretending to be Charles.
01:19:25What?
01:19:27The image.
01:19:31Ilda laying in bed with Charles,
01:19:33wearing her necklace.
01:19:35It wasn't Charles who sent it to you.
01:19:37It was Ilda.
01:19:39And she was the one that told you
01:19:41to abort the child.
01:19:43Thank God you trusted your instinct.
01:19:45Congratulations.
01:19:55Crystal,
01:19:59I just want to give you this.
01:20:01What?
01:20:03To congratulate you.
01:20:05Congratulations for what?
01:20:07For becoming CEO of the Weigh Group.
01:20:09It's a big next step for you.
01:20:11Is that why you're being so kind
01:20:13and apprehensive now?
01:20:15I've always wanted to be good to you, but
01:20:17my family and Ilda were in the way.
01:20:19That's such a simple excuse, don't you think?
01:20:21I know. And I'm sorry, okay?
01:20:23I could have done better.
01:20:25I just kept listening to what
01:20:27other people were telling me to do,
01:20:29and Ilda's lies, and...
01:20:31Could you ever forgive me?
01:20:35Could you ever forgive me?
01:20:37Forgive you?
01:20:39What for?
01:20:41We're going our separate ways anyway.
01:20:43That's not what I want.
01:20:45I want to start over.
01:20:47Mr. Wade, do you want to get back together with me
01:20:49because you know my real identity?
01:20:51So the Brown Group can
01:20:53help you with your business?
01:20:55I want to get back together with you for you.
01:20:57Not because of your identity,
01:20:59not because of the Brown Group,
01:21:01not because of your father.
01:21:03I want you.
01:21:07Crystal,
01:21:09I'm so sorry.
01:21:11I never realized how wrong I was until today.
01:21:13The mistakes I made...
01:21:15What mistakes did you make?
01:21:17I neglected you for the past three years
01:21:19because of the pressure my family put me through.
01:21:21I should have never been blind to your
01:21:23sincerity and never distrusted you.
01:21:27Do as you will, but
01:21:29can you give me a second chance?
01:21:33Charles,
01:21:35you understated my sufferings for the past
01:21:37three years.
01:21:39I gave up everything
01:21:41for you.
01:21:43And you and your family mistreated me
01:21:45so poorly.
01:21:47I know.
01:21:49That's why I'm here today,
01:21:51right here, right now, to beg you
01:21:53for forgiveness, to ask you for another chance.
01:21:55How can I accept?
01:21:57How do I know
01:21:59that the past isn't going to repeat itself?
01:22:01My family will accept you.
01:22:03They will no longer
01:22:05be an obstacle.
01:22:07Your family might be ready,
01:22:09but what about mine?
01:22:11After everything that you've done?
01:22:13I'll find a way to pay my respects back to your father.
01:22:15I'll work with him,
01:22:17work for him, whatever it takes
01:22:19to build something that lasts for the both of us.
01:22:21I don't know, Charles.
01:22:23Crystal, please, please.
01:22:25I want to be partners,
01:22:27friends, lovers.
01:22:29I want to travel the world with you.
01:22:31Have a baby, start a family.
01:22:33A baby?
01:22:35I want you.
01:22:39Well,
01:22:41there's something else I need to tell you.
01:22:43I was pregnant
01:22:45with your child, and you told me to abort it.
01:22:47What?
01:22:51What? No, no. I'd never do that.
01:22:53I didn't even know you were pregnant.
01:22:55I received a text from you, and you told me
01:22:57to abort it.
01:22:59What?
01:23:01I never did that, I swear.
01:23:03It was Ilda.
01:23:05The police hacked into her phone and found the threads.
01:23:07Ilda
01:23:09told you to abort our baby on my behalf?
01:23:11Yeah, she did.
01:23:13That viper, she...
01:23:15She's so cruel.
01:23:17Crystal,
01:23:19I am so sorry.
01:23:21You and Ilda made me suffer
01:23:23a lot, and the text
01:23:25and cheating on me
01:23:27was all the rage towards your family.
01:23:29I never cheated on you.
01:23:31I only pretended to be with Ilda
01:23:33to hide the fact that she had my brother's baby.
01:23:37Crystal, I'm so sorry.
01:23:39I failed to protect you
01:23:41and our baby.
01:23:43Despite all of it, he's okay.
01:23:47Who? Who's okay?
01:23:49The baby.
01:23:51What?
01:23:55You've never caught an abortion?
01:23:57I was furious
01:23:59with you and her, and I wanted
01:24:01to do it just out of spite.
01:24:03And I just, I couldn't get myself
01:24:05to abort it.
01:24:07I didn't want you to make the decision for me.
01:24:09Crystal, this is wonderful.
01:24:11We have a baby.
01:24:13We...
01:24:15Yeah, it is.
01:24:17We can start a family now.
01:24:19I think we should
01:24:21go now. I think people are
01:24:23getting curious where we are.
01:24:25No.
01:24:27Who cares? Let them think whatever they want.
01:24:31I have something else for you.
01:24:33What is it?
01:24:37The Blazing Heart.
01:24:41It was only meant for you to wear.
01:24:43Only you.
01:24:45Oh, Charles.
