00:00:00Someone went wild last night.
00:00:29Not too bad, as far as the last night of being single goes.
00:00:32I don't get it, man. Why'd she leave without saying goodbye?
00:00:35Maybe she's on the way to the marriage registry to marry you.
00:00:38Yeah, maybe.
00:00:40So, according to your mother's will, as soon as you get married, you'll receive the share she left for you.
00:00:44So I've arranged for someone for you to have a fake marriage with.
00:00:47I trust your taste.
00:00:53Oh, look at that. The woman who agreed to your fake marriage is already on her way.
00:00:57Whoever she is, with that marriage license, the normal group officially becomes mine.
00:01:01So why didn't you go with what your grandfather's arranged marriage?
00:01:04Man, I'd much rather be that girl from last night, but I don't know if I'm gonna ever see her again.
00:01:17It's you.
00:01:47If I had known that you were the person I was gonna marry, we could have shared a ride from the hotel.
00:01:51Well, I am short on cash these days, so...
00:01:54Same. I had to borrow the suit.
00:01:57It's a good suit.
00:01:59This is all that I have today. Thank you for coming, and you'll get the rest when we divorce in one year.
00:02:11I guess I deserve an Oscar for my performance today.
00:02:15With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:24Inform the whole company. A new era starts today.
00:02:28Sure thing.
00:02:30You murderers, better watch your backs. I'm coming for you.
00:02:36I'm gonna avenge you.
00:02:43With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:48I guess it's time to show them who's boss.
00:02:51Yes, boss.
00:03:08What? New presents here?
00:03:24Now?
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:48Renee! Looks like my stepsister decided to crawl back out of hell.
00:03:52Unfortunately for you, I'm here to kick you two out of my mother's company.
00:03:55Your mother's?
00:03:56You know her name means nothing. Now it belongs to my mom.
00:04:00Speaking of her, great job selling off all the company's shares. I'm sure the new president will reward you for that.
00:04:05How did... how did you...
00:04:08That's ridiculous.
00:04:09I think we should settle this in front of everyone.
00:04:14Here they come.
00:04:18As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:32As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:38Miss Mara Brown!
00:04:40Who, me?
00:04:41No doubt. Mrs. Brown was the plan B to take over.
00:04:45Are you sure she's the new president of the company?
00:04:48Who else would it be? Your mother from six feet under?
00:04:55Well then you must have the invitation from Norman.
00:04:58What invitation?
00:04:59For the party tonight. They've invited all their business partners, including Laura Group.
00:05:07Of course I do.
00:05:08Great. Then I will see you there.
00:05:13Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:05:38Excuse me? How dare you? I'm the president of the Laura Group.
00:05:42I'm sorry, ma'am. I can only accept invitations.
00:05:49Oh, looks like I forgot it at home. Can I speak with your manager?
00:05:54Just admit it, Mara. You're not the president. You don't have an invitation.
00:05:57Where's your invitation then?
00:06:04Damon, help!
00:06:07This skank is trying to bully me because I didn't have an invitation.
00:06:12Don't worry, honeypuff. As the host of this party, I can guarantee no one's going to mess with you.
00:06:19The whole Norman family doesn't welcome someone like you.
00:06:22The host? So that means you're the heir to the Norman family?
00:06:27Yes, I have a lot going on lately.
00:06:33What the fuck are you doing? Get her out of here.
00:06:35Mr. Norman, is that any way to treat a guest?
00:06:41How did you... No, that has to be a fake!
00:06:51May I?
00:07:05Let's go, honey.
00:07:11Damon! Stop her!
00:07:18Really?
00:07:26Dorothy, can you look up Damon Norman for me and top the head of the charity group in here?
00:07:42Are you alright, my dear wife?
00:07:46What are you doing here?
00:07:49You're working.
00:07:52What about you?
00:07:54I'm...
00:07:57someone's escort.
00:08:00You do know you're a member of the charity group, don't you?
00:08:03Yes, I do.
00:08:05And you're a member of the charity group?
00:08:08Yes.
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:13Of course. I can't just rely on my husband's tips.
00:08:18Your husband sounds like a real jerk.
00:08:20He's the worst.
00:08:22Well, I didn't know this party for dirty rats.
00:08:25Neither did I, until you showed up.
00:08:36Clean that up.
00:08:40Are you really asking me?
00:08:45Are you really asking me?
00:08:47Well, of course I am.
00:08:49I'm the fiance of the heir to the Norman family.
00:09:02How could you do that? Do you know how much that costs?
00:09:05What, with the price of the champagne that's on it?
00:09:07I would say your fur just increased in value.
00:09:19It's my stepsister.
00:09:21Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:23No worries.
00:09:25All families have issues.
00:09:27You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:29Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:37In return, you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:44I couldn't afford that.
00:09:52Get the necklace from the safe.
00:09:54Someone deserves a gift.
00:10:03Here's a gift for Ms. Brown.
00:10:07Oh, that's me.
00:10:09Oh, it's beautiful.
00:10:12I bet Damon got this for me.
00:10:15Much better than an invitation, if I do say so myself.
00:10:19Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:22Wait, this is for Ms. Renee Brown?
00:10:27I'm Renee Brown.
00:10:29I'm Ms. Brown.
00:10:31I'm Ms. Brown.
00:10:33I'm Ms. Brown.
00:10:35I'm Renee Brown.
00:10:38May I ask who sent this?
00:10:40Sorry, I don't know.
00:10:45You bitch!
00:10:47You set this entire thing up with a fake necklace and everything just to embarrass me!
00:10:51Mara, the only person embarrassing you here is yourself.
00:10:55No one has ever given you a gift because you are an unwanted loser!
00:11:01Unwanted?
00:11:03Says who?
00:11:10Unwanted?
00:11:12Says who?
00:11:16She's with me.
00:11:18Oh, a skank and a server. How fitting.
00:11:22But you know what, sister? I did think you would go with someone more of like a washed up, in his 80s type.
00:11:27No thank you. But speaking of losers, you should probably go check in with your fiancé.
00:11:33My fiancé is the heir to the Norman Group.
00:11:37One word and he'll have both of you two out on your asses.
00:11:41I would like to see him try.
00:11:44Damon, come to my rescue please.
00:11:47Hey, what's going on?
00:11:49Hello, Damon. So you're her fiancé? The heir to the Norman Group?
00:11:54Yes, speak with some respect.
00:11:57He's full of lies. He's not the real heir.
00:12:07He's not the real heir.
00:12:09Are you accusing him?
00:12:11Why don't you let him speak for himself?
00:12:13Enough. I'll make a scene. Let's go.
00:12:18Let me spell it out for you two. He's the cousin to the heir, who likes to use the family name to scam people.
00:12:26How do you know that?
00:12:28Because I'm the real heir.
00:12:30Heir's assistant. Right, Damon?
00:12:36And you know the cost of lying. Right, Damon?
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:48Just, just let me go. Please.
00:12:57Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me.
00:13:05Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me.
00:13:08It is not your time to speak, so I would shut it if I were you.
00:13:13Can you tell him to meet me at the ballroom? Thank you.
00:13:18May I speak to the president of the Laura Group?
00:13:21That's me. What do you want?
00:13:23Such an honor to finally meet you. Thank you and your company for the generous donation.
00:13:28It will benefit so many children.
00:13:30Oh, yeah, don't worry about it. It's nothing.
00:13:33Would you prefer the five million as a check or a bank transfer?
00:13:37Five million. What?
00:13:39Your assistant asked me to meet you here.
00:13:41Or you could just sign your name on this contract.
00:13:48You framed me.
00:13:50Oh, well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:13:54Unless you're lying.
00:14:01You framed me.
00:14:03Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:14:05Unless you're lying.
00:14:11You know what? I don't feel so well. I don't even think I could pick up that pen.
00:14:16You'll have to find me another day.
00:14:22Mara's a fake. I'm such a fool.
00:14:25Don't be too hard on yourself.
00:14:27Well, where's the real president?
00:14:32I know.
00:14:33I know.
00:14:36The real president...
00:14:40is in the office.
00:14:54Can I have a dance with you?
00:14:55Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:02Seems like everyone has trust issues tonight.
00:15:05Do you?
00:15:08Like what?
00:15:10Are you really just an assistant?
00:15:18What about you?
00:15:20Are you really an escort?
00:15:22Where's your client?
00:15:26Seems like everyone has secrets.
00:15:30Sometimes the best solution is to just ignore the problem.
00:15:34At least for tonight.
00:15:36I agree.
00:15:38But I have to admit it'll probably be difficult for me to suppress my curiosity.
00:15:42Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy.
00:15:45How so?
00:15:55I don't know.
00:16:26How generous.
00:16:33Dude, Lord Group is dumping our shares.
00:16:36Our stock price is crashing.
00:16:38What?
00:16:46Do we know who the president is?
00:16:48I don't know.
00:16:50I don't know.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:54Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:56I checked every news source. I can't find anything on who the president is.
00:17:03That's impossible.
00:17:05What is it?
00:17:07Laura Brown?
00:17:09The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:11Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:13I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:15Phase one completed.
00:17:17Mara and her mother had heavily invested in Norman Group,
00:17:20so now it's time to watch their assets shrink.
00:17:21By the way, I made the donation in your mother's name.
00:17:25Thank you, Dotty.
00:17:27But I've been meaning to ask, won't doing this also affect Laura Group's assets?
00:17:32Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:17:34Don't worry. I have a plan.
00:17:37I trust you, but don't overdo it.
00:17:41I have a feeling I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group very soon.
00:17:45Dear President, it's time to teach you a lesson.
00:17:49The informant says the president of Laura Group will be here tonight.
00:17:53I'll flush out this rat. I swear.
00:18:00Renee?
00:18:02Perritt, what are you doing here?
00:18:04I'm here to meet with the real president of the Laura Group.
00:18:08Have you seen...
00:18:11I don't know.
00:18:13Have you seen...
00:18:15I don't know.
00:18:16Have you seen...
00:18:20Damn, Paul.
00:18:22I forgot my wallet in the car.
00:18:24Why don't you order your drink? It's on me.
00:18:35Are you the one messing with the stocks?
00:18:37You're the president. Shouldn't you be asking yourself that?
00:18:40Well, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be selling off some art pieces
00:18:44to cover the losses. And yeah, that's your mom's last piece.
00:18:49The bid goes for one dollar.
00:18:57And yeah, that's your mom's last piece.
00:19:00The bid goes for one dollar.
00:19:04I hope you have your invitation for the auction.
00:19:09You crazy bitch!
00:19:10You crazy bitch!
00:19:14Things are different now, sister. I'm going to get every single one of her pieces back.
00:19:18This isn't over!
00:19:23Mom, I'm going to protect your artwork and your company. I promise.
00:19:30Hey, who's got you so down, chica?
00:19:33Leave me alone.
00:19:35You need my company.
00:19:41Leave her alone!
00:19:49Who the fuck?
00:19:50I'm her husband.
00:19:52I get it. Someone's unsatisfied.
00:19:55Fuck!
00:20:05Are you alright?
00:20:07I'm fine. Thank you.
00:20:11You feeling confident?
00:20:13Let's see.
00:20:17Let us go. Unless you want to see some blood.
00:20:22Run.
00:20:40They're not down there.
00:20:44Let's go.
00:20:52You're gone.
00:20:55Just to be safe, I think I should hold your hands a little longer.
00:21:00Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:03Not really.
00:21:06What else do you want?
00:21:10Nothing.
00:21:26The auction's tomorrow. 90% of the items are your mother's belongings, starting at $1.
00:21:34They're trying to humiliate her. And we can't let them get away with this.
00:21:37Yeah, but Mara's definitely going to have some tricks up her sleeve.
00:21:41And we need a white knight.
00:21:47Norman!
00:21:58Are you okay? You sounded urgent on the phone.
00:22:01I need to ask you a favor.
00:22:03As long as I can make it happen.
00:22:04I need you to pretend to be the heir of Norman Group.
00:22:12You want me to impersonate the heir of Norman?
00:22:15The heir's assistant. There's no one better for the job.
00:22:18I can ask him for real.
00:22:20These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy.
00:22:23And then she was kicked out of the group that she founded by Mara's mother.
00:22:27And now they're trying to cash in on her belongings.
00:22:29I need the heir to back you at the auction.
00:22:31You're my only choice.
00:22:39Since you're Laura's daughter, do you know who the new president is?
00:22:45Of course.
00:22:47Who is it?
00:22:53Me.
00:23:02I'm sorry, that was a bad joke.
00:23:06Thank goodness that you're not a stand-up comedian.
00:23:11Enough said.
00:23:13I can help you to get those things back.
00:23:23I'm sorry.
00:23:26I'm sorry.
00:23:28I'm sorry.
00:23:30I'm sorry.
00:23:41Are you being watched?
00:23:43Not yet.
00:23:45Do I really have to dress like a secret agent?
00:23:47Mara's met you already.
00:23:49She might recognize you.
00:23:51No way.
00:23:53In this outfit, I barely even recognize myself.
00:23:59Thanks.
00:24:07Renee.
00:24:19Renee.
00:24:21It's been a long time.
00:24:23Oh, not long enough.
00:24:25Did you even think about saying hello when you got back?
00:24:26Well, I don't exactly fit in with a family of thieves and liars.
00:24:30Isn't that right, Miss President?
00:24:32Oh, sharp tongue just like your mother.
00:24:34I wonder how many auction items you're going to get to buy before you deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:39I wonder what the value of a useless dead body would bring to you tonight.
00:24:44Don't worry.
00:24:46The only thing you can steal from my mother and I is this coward.
00:24:52Welcome to today's auction.
00:24:53Up first, we have a painting by Laura Brown.
00:24:57And we will start the bidding at...
00:25:00$1.
00:25:07$100,000.
00:25:10$101,000.
00:25:12$200,000.
00:25:14$201,000.
00:25:18$500,000.
00:25:24Sold!
00:25:26Sold!
00:25:28Congratulations, guest number eight, who is the heir of the Norman Group.
00:25:41Sold!
00:25:43Congratulations, Mr. Norman, on securing all the items thus far.
00:25:47Mom, I have to go for him.
00:25:49Oh dear, don't rush it.
00:25:51You've got to play hard to get.
00:25:53Our final item this evening, we have a set of matching rings.
00:25:57My mother's wedding rings.
00:25:59They will start at just $1.
00:26:03$100,000.
00:26:08Do I hear another bid?
00:26:11Sold!
00:26:13Congratulations on securing yet another item.
00:26:16Before you start talking big, you might want to check your bank account.
00:26:21Yeah, you're screwed.
00:26:23Even Norman's heir is on our side.
00:26:25I wouldn't be so sure about that.
00:26:28Congratulations, Ms. Brown.
00:26:30Mr. Norman has transferred all the items in your name.
00:26:33Here's the transfer document.
00:26:38Who's screwed now?
00:26:40Who's screwed now?
00:26:50Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:52Why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:54Mr. Norman!
00:26:58Wait a second.
00:27:00I knew it! You're the assistant!
00:27:03Assistant? How is the assistant going to pay for all this?
00:27:06About that. According to my mother's will, these items are always mine.
00:27:11And now they're finally back where they belong.
00:27:13I see that.
00:27:16Chloe, I have to thank you for holding this auction.
00:27:19Otherwise, I never would have known where you'd hidden them.
00:27:22That orphanage has taught you quite a bit, hasn't it?
00:27:32All the items today will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:34All the items today will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:53I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly if it wasn't for you.
00:27:56I was just doing my job, as your husband.
00:28:01I have something for you.
00:28:05Even though this is a marriage of convenience, we should still have rings.
00:28:10Are you sure? It was your mom's.
00:28:13More than ever.
00:28:21Renee Brown.
00:28:25Will you marry me?
00:28:30You're too late.
00:28:31I'm already taken.
00:28:36By you.
00:28:43By you.
00:29:01I love you.
00:29:31Hello?
00:29:37Wake up, Renee!
00:29:39Norman Group is fighting back! They're buying up our stock in large quantities!
00:29:43What?
00:29:46Are you sure about that?
00:29:48I'm done lying to her.
00:29:50I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group.
00:29:52I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group.
00:30:00Something urgent?
00:30:02Yeah, it's... I'll explain later.
00:30:10Maybe next time.
00:30:18I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa.
00:30:21I didn't know I needed permission to come to my old office.
00:30:25How's Florida?
00:30:27Not bad. Until I found out that you're married to somebody I don't even know...
00:30:33Yep. My ship has sailed.
00:30:36Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:38Is that so? I've already called Fiona back from Europe.
00:30:43Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:46I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:47I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:49Not even you can interfere with my life anymore.
00:30:55You don't know what I'm capable of, young man.
00:31:03It's a good thing we reacted quickly. Damage wasn't too severe.
00:31:08How come we're meeting here and not at your house?
00:31:12Barrett's there.
00:31:14Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:15No, not yet. But still haven't told him.
00:31:22Hello?
00:31:24Are you available tonight? I have something to tell you.
00:31:36What happened?
00:31:38Nothing. Just some family issues.
00:31:40Well, I'm an expert in that.
00:31:42If you are having family issues, you could always come stay at my place.
00:31:48Are you asking me to move in with you?
00:31:51Will you?
00:31:54Barry, I missed you so much.
00:31:57Fiona!
00:32:06It's been so long. You still like black coffee?
00:32:09No, thank you.
00:32:11I admire your devotion.
00:32:13And who is she?
00:32:16This is Renee. She's my...
00:32:18His blind date.
00:32:20Really?
00:32:22Yeah. But I have to think twice about whether to continue.
00:32:25Well, I guess I've been gone for too long.
00:32:28But I came back to marry Barrett. Isn't that right?
00:32:33Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:35I know. But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me.
00:32:41Is that so?
00:32:43Good to know.
00:32:45Excuse me for a moment. You two can wrap it up.
00:32:50Renee, let me explain first.
00:32:53Explain what?
00:32:55You have a gravely ill grandfather, you have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment?
00:33:00That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:33:02Wait! It's not true.
00:33:11Oh, what's going on?
00:33:13You two had a fight?
00:33:15None of your business.
00:33:17Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet. Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:23Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:26Sweet dreams, both of you.
00:33:33Enough! I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:37So she's your quickie wife? Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:42She's not a quickie. She's the love of my life.
00:34:02You invited me. No taking backsies.
00:34:33I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:36No chance.
00:34:43The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal.
00:34:48I know. And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:53Do you promise?
00:34:55I promise.
00:35:02No one kisses me right back at you.
00:35:16I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:19No, man. I moved in with Renee.
00:35:22Oh yeah. Totally normal thing to do. For a married couple.
00:35:27Okay, look, I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose.
00:35:30What do you think about me purchasing the Laura Group as a gift for her?
00:35:35You think she'll like it?
00:35:37Oh my God, I hate rich people.
00:35:39Come on, man. I mean it.
00:35:42Look, it was founded by her mom, right?
00:35:44And I know that we still don't know who the president is,
00:35:46but the company deserves to be back in the hands of its rightful owner.
00:35:50Alright, Romeo.
00:35:53The front desk handed this to me.
00:35:56Said it was from someone anonymous.
00:36:01Wait a second.
00:36:03Isn't this the room that me and Renee first met?
00:36:06Don't tell me she's planning on proposing officially as well.
00:36:10We'll see.
00:36:24Renee?
00:36:26Oh, hi.
00:36:30Hi.
00:36:49I just keep loving you more.
00:36:52Yeah, me too.
00:36:54What the hell?
00:36:56I can take you there.
00:36:57Don't worry.
00:36:59What happens here, stays here.
00:37:02No, you're psychotic.
00:37:04Does she know who you really are?
00:37:07You two are from completely different worlds.
00:37:10There's no future for you and her.
00:37:12Thanks for your input.
00:37:14If you leave, you're gonna regret it.
00:37:16If I stay, I'll regret it.
00:37:18Don't think about pulling any more tricks.
00:37:20I can pull all of your company's investments in a second.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:46You have something for me?
00:37:48I'm sorry, but you deserve to know.
00:37:53I know you're married to him.
00:37:54And I said no at first, but as you know, his passion is unstoppable.
00:38:02Don't be sad over a man who doesn't love you.
00:38:08Is that it?
00:38:10What do you mean?
00:38:12Are you okay with your husband cheating on you?
00:38:15Why not?
00:38:17I'd have told Renee everything.
00:38:20Your plan failed.
00:38:25Better luck next time.
00:38:28No, stop.
00:38:30That won't work on me.
00:38:32You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:35Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:37And don't ever come back.
00:38:40Renee, do you really trust your husband?
00:38:44Don't bother.
00:38:46I know he has his secrets.
00:38:49And I've got mine.
00:38:51And I've got mine.
00:38:53We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:56Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:39:21Finally.
00:39:26What's got you so happy?
00:39:30You don't have to wait for tonight.
00:39:32You can't tell me no.
00:39:34Gotta keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship.
00:39:37Can I drown the queen?
00:39:42Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:46I need you at the office now.
00:39:48Norman.
00:39:56Norman.
00:40:01What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:03Something urgent just came up. I gotta go.
00:40:06Don't forget to be back by seven.
00:40:08I've got something important planned.
00:40:14What's going on?
00:40:16What's going on? How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:19Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out.
00:40:22Plus the other shares that Norman bought at high prices.
00:40:26Norman Group now owns 50% of the company.
00:40:29Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:32The company is now expecting their president out there.
00:40:35Are you sure about this?
00:40:38What are you doing here?
00:40:46What are you doing here?
00:40:49I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:51I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:54Even if you are the president,
00:40:56I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group.
00:40:59What a shame.
00:41:01The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company.
00:41:04I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat.
00:41:07Security!
00:41:09Kick her out. I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:12Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:13No. Until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting,
00:41:16I still have control of this company.
00:41:18Let me go.
00:41:20Are you really going to let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:22It still belongs to our family.
00:41:24Family.
00:41:26How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:28Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette.
00:41:32I think you need a lesson.
00:41:35Don't you dare!
00:41:37What?
00:41:44This is my final warning.
00:41:46This is a Brown family matter.
00:41:48You need not get involved.
00:41:50Funny. I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household.
00:41:53Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:41:56Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman
00:41:59to appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group.
00:42:03Are you serious?
00:42:05You heard me right.
00:42:07I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman
00:42:10to appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group.
00:42:13Now, I assume you would like to clear out these three?
00:42:16I am so sorry, but since you've traded away all of your shares,
00:42:20you no longer have any stake in the Laura Group.
00:42:23Please leave.
00:42:25Let's go, ladies. Let's go.
00:42:33Let me get this straight.
00:42:35Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laura Group,
00:42:38wants me to be president?
00:42:40Indeed.
00:42:41I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:43I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:45Except...
00:42:54I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:57Except...
00:43:00Well, I was going to tell you tonight.
00:43:02Actually, I...
00:43:04Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:06My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:08How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:09Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:12Opposing him? What do you mean?
00:43:14I should have told you sooner.
00:43:18I've been president of Laura Group all along.
00:43:21Wait, so you're the reason for this stock drop?
00:43:26Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence.
00:43:33It must have taken you a lot to make this happen.
00:43:35You have to let me meet Mr. Norman.
00:43:38Sure.
00:43:40Sure.
00:43:42What are you waiting for?
00:43:56Dude.
00:43:58Why didn't you come clean back there?
00:44:00It's too much for her to process today.
00:44:02I'll take it to her another day.
00:44:04What are you hesitating for, man?
00:44:05Isn't it a good thing for the husband to be loaded eye candy?
00:44:09Renee isn't shallow like that.
00:44:11If she finds out that she lost to me in this business arrangement,
00:44:15she's not going to be happy.
00:44:17Well, you played the game and you won.
00:44:19She needs to accept that.
00:44:21She can lose, okay?
00:44:23But not to me in disguise.
00:44:25It's different.
00:44:27I guess marriage is hard.
00:44:29Can't wait to see your wedding day.
00:44:35The thing I fear most is deceit and betrayal.
00:44:47Congrats, Renee.
00:44:49I always knew you were something special.
00:44:51Really? Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:55Well, everyone makes mistakes.
00:44:58But that won't happen again now that you're in charge.
00:45:01Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous.
00:45:03Only someone like you could pull it off.
00:45:05What, this?
00:45:07No, this is a knockoff.
00:45:09Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off and I wear it for fun.
00:45:12No way.
00:45:14I've never made mistakes in luxury.
00:45:16There's no chance that's a knockoff.
00:45:18Alright, I'm not going to hold you accountable for the past.
00:45:20You can stop with the flattery.
00:45:22For short, stop sucking up.
00:45:24Don't you have work to be doing?
00:45:26Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
00:45:28But seriously, that necklace is real.
00:45:31No flattery, just facts.
00:45:33That necklace is real.
00:45:35No flattery, just facts.
00:45:39What if Carl's right?
00:45:41How much would that cost?
00:45:43No. Even though he works for Norman Group,
00:45:45something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:48Unless...
00:45:50Because I'm the real heir.
00:45:52Assistant.
00:45:54I came back to marry Barrett.
00:45:56I was going to tell you tonight, actually,
00:45:58I was going to tell you tonight,
00:46:00I was going to tell you tonight,
00:46:01I was going to tell you tonight, actually...
00:46:05No. Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:11Hold on.
00:46:14The necklace is real.
00:46:16Look.
00:46:18Your Barrett is Barrett Norman,
00:46:20the heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:25Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:29What?
00:46:31Who did this?
00:46:38Get the PR team in here.
00:46:40I want this article redacted
00:46:42and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:45Uh...
00:46:47You have a visitor.
00:46:49Not now!
00:46:53So the article was true.
00:46:56Let me explain.
00:46:57I was going to tell you earlier,
00:46:59but then I found out that you were the...
00:47:01Well, I found out that I was the president
00:47:03of the company you acquired.
00:47:05Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:07Not true.
00:47:09Then what is the truth?
00:47:11Were you afraid to hurt my pride,
00:47:13or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:15You don't get it, Renee.
00:47:17I acquired the Lawyer Group for you as a gift.
00:47:19I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:21Don't talk about my mother!
00:47:23I don't get it.
00:47:25You were so excited about this before
00:47:27I had a plan.
00:47:29I was capable of doing it myself.
00:47:31I was your husband.
00:47:33I wanted to help you carry the burden.
00:47:35Is that so wrong?
00:47:37No.
00:47:39Not anymore.
00:47:41What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:46Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:48We're getting a divorce.
00:47:50Renee.
00:47:58Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:48:00Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:48:02What is there to talk about?
00:48:04We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:06Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:08Both executives, both enjoy identity games.
00:48:10I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:12I am.
00:48:15I feel like you're being a little too impulsive.
00:48:17If Barrett had known you as the president,
00:48:19maybe he wouldn't have acted like this.
00:48:21Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way.
00:48:23Maybe that's my issue.
00:48:25The Browns think money can solve anything,
00:48:27including love and dignity.
00:48:31I don't know if Barrett's like that too.
00:48:34You do.
00:48:36You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:46Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:55Renee.
00:48:57What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:19Renee.
00:49:21You're back.
00:49:22I'm sorry.
00:49:24I did it out of love for you.
00:49:26Please forgive me.
00:49:28It's okay.
00:49:30I have my faults too.
00:49:32So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:34Why should I?
00:49:36I'm not dreaming, am I?
00:49:41No.
00:49:43This is real.
00:49:47Let's get you to bed.
00:49:53Relax.
00:49:55Come here, Renee.
00:50:23No.
00:50:29Fiona.
00:50:31What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:37What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:40Don't you remember?
00:50:42It was you who suggested we get together last night.
00:50:44What?
00:50:46No way. Last night it was...
00:50:48It was Renee.
00:50:50It was you.
00:50:52Don't get close to me.
00:50:56And keep your mouth shut.
00:50:58If you don't, I won't let you live it down.
00:50:59I won't let you live it down.
00:51:21Where are the photos?
00:51:26You seem not mad.
00:51:27Not mad.
00:51:29He made his decision.
00:51:31Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:33You seem well informed.
00:51:35Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company,
00:51:37and it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you.
00:51:42Well,
00:51:45I admire your sanity.
00:51:48Have a drink with me,
00:51:50and I'll give you all the photos.
00:51:52And I'll leave Barrett alone.
00:51:58Did you drug me?
00:52:01Yes.
00:52:03I did.
00:52:05And by the way,
00:52:07I was the one who wrote the article
00:52:09revealing Barrett's identity.
00:52:28Renee?
00:52:36Remember to sign these papers.
00:52:38The company rightfully belongs to you.
00:52:41That was my promise.
00:52:44Maybe my last one.
00:52:58I love you.
00:53:04Mr. Norman?
00:53:06What are you doing here? Where's Renee?
00:53:08I need your help. Renee's missing.
00:53:10Missing?
00:53:28Do we really have to?
00:53:30She's still my daughter.
00:53:32Zip it.
00:53:34You want the money or not.
00:53:36Dad, as long as he's willing to sign, we'll let her live.
00:53:48You must be starving.
00:53:51You know I'm allergic to nuts, right?
00:53:58Look, Renee,
00:54:00just sign the documents.
00:54:02Sign your shares over to Chloe,
00:54:04and I guarantee you she'll let you go.
00:54:07Let me go?
00:54:09Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:11Just kill me,
00:54:13if you dare.
00:54:24My detectives are still searching.
00:54:25But her last location update was 12 hours ago.
00:54:28All right.
00:54:30Keep me in the loop.
00:54:38What are you doing here?
00:54:40Barry,
00:54:42why do you look so stressed?
00:54:44How did you get in?
00:54:46I just walked in,
00:54:48as your fiancé.
00:54:50Get out.
00:54:52You're the last person I want to see right now.
00:54:56Kick me out,
00:54:58and you'll never see her again.
00:55:03Where is she?
00:55:05She's alive,
00:55:07for now.
00:55:09But only if you agree to one condition.
00:55:12What do you want?
00:55:15Marry me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:25Marry me.
00:55:28You're sick.
00:55:30You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:33Don't flatter yourself.
00:55:36It was never you that I wanted.
00:55:38What do you mean?
00:55:40Well,
00:55:42ever since I was born, everyone swore to me
00:55:44that I was going to be the future Mrs. Norman.
00:55:46So this is all just about power.
00:55:48Exactly.
00:55:50Blame it on being the head of the Norman Company.
00:55:52You were always destined to be my husband.
00:55:56Take your time to think about it,
00:55:58but not too long.
00:56:01She's got a lot of enemies.
00:56:09Enemies?
00:56:13Paul,
00:56:15find Damon for me,
00:56:17right now.
00:56:25Go after him!
00:56:31Just give me three days,
00:56:33and I'll get your money back, I promise.
00:56:35Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:37I wouldn't know.
00:56:39She broke up with me a long time ago.
00:56:42Do you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:44Okay, okay.
00:56:46But I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
00:56:49How much do you know?
00:56:51Maura asked me to help her.
00:56:53I didn't. I didn't.
00:56:55Where is she?
00:56:57I have Maura's GPS.
00:56:59This is her location.
00:57:13We can't tip them off until we make our move.
00:57:21I agree to get engaged with you.
00:57:25Paul,
00:57:27you need a new suit.
00:57:48Didn't Miss Norman just get married?
00:57:51Why is he getting engaged again?
00:57:53It's a business marriage.
00:57:55I know.
00:57:58If you're going to act,
00:58:00do it right.
00:58:02I'm not as fake as you.
00:58:04I can't pull it off.
00:58:06Make me happy,
00:58:08and that woman might stay alive.
00:58:16Excuse me, Your Majesty.
00:58:18I have a very important phone call to make.
00:58:20I'll be back.
00:58:26I need her dead.
00:58:28Now.
00:58:36I have a very important phone call to make.
00:58:38I'll be back.
00:58:45Here's the keys to a rental.
00:58:47It'll keep them from spotting you.
00:58:49Thanks, man.
00:58:50I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:52I appreciate it.
00:58:53I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:56You gotta hurry, okay?
00:58:58I don't want to be here for too long.
00:59:00Go.
00:59:01Thanks, buddy.
00:59:02Okay.
00:59:03Go.
00:59:04Hurry.
00:59:09Go kill her.
00:59:11The owner will hand the company over to us.
00:59:13Do it fast, Dad.
00:59:14We'll meet you outside.
00:59:20I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:24Sorry?
00:59:26Did you ever feel sorry for my mother?
00:59:28It was my fault.
00:59:30I had no choice.
00:59:31But you did.
00:59:32And you chose to sacrifice her.
00:59:35Just do it.
00:59:37I'm ready.
00:59:54Oh!
01:00:03Renee!
01:00:04Oh my god, are you alright?
01:00:07Let's get you out of here.
01:00:09Not so fast!
01:00:12Toodaloo, lovebirds!
01:00:23What took you so long?
01:00:33Where's Barrett?
01:00:37I'm here.
01:00:48Not so fast!
01:00:51Toodaloo, lovebirds!
01:00:54Toodaloo, lovebirds!
01:01:00Game over!
01:01:08You're alive?
01:01:10You seem surprised.
01:01:14What happened to you?
01:01:15Why don't you ask Fiona?
01:01:16I didn't do anything.
01:01:17This was a setup.
01:01:19Maybe you should ask them instead.
01:01:24Uncle Ben!
01:01:26Help me!
01:01:27Weren't you always on my side?
01:01:30Well, I'm no longer your head of the family.
01:01:34Do whatever you need to do.
01:01:37Hey!
01:01:38Let go of me!
01:01:44This isn't over!
01:01:48I'm sorry.
01:01:50I'm sorry.
01:01:51I'm sorry.
01:01:58Till death do us part.
01:02:00Till death do us part.
01:02:18Look.
01:02:19Our stock just hit an all-time high.
01:02:21Nice!
01:02:22Double that and it might be worth half of our price.
01:02:25Well, give me a year and I'll definitely surpass you.
01:02:30Sure thing.
01:02:35Miss Brown, about the divorce application you submitted a few months ago...
01:02:39We won't need it.
01:02:43What do you say, Miss Brown?
01:02:45Shall we do this thing?
01:02:49Yeah.
