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 know that has to be a fake?
00:06:51May I?
00:06:56Hey, what's going on?
00:06:58I'm a guest, and I'm supposed to be the host.
00:07:00But I'm not.
00:07:02I'm a guest.
00:07:03You're a guest.
00:07:04I'm a guest.
00:07:05You're a guest.
00:07:06I'm a guest.
00:07:07You're a guest.
00:07:08I'm a guest.
00:07:09I'm a guest.
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?
00:07:41Are you all right, my dear wife?
00:07:45What are you doing here?
00:07:48You're working.
00:07:51What about you?
00:07:52I'm...
00:07:55someone's escort.
00:07:59I'm a guest.
00:08:00I'm a guest.
00:08:01I'm a guest.
00:08:02I'm a guest.
00:08:03I'm a guest.
00:08:04I'm a guest.
00:08:05I'm a guest.
00:08:06I'm a guest.
00:08:07I'm a guest.
00:08:08I'm a guest.
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:14Of course.
00:08:15I 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.
00:08:26Neither did I, until you showed up.
00:08:37Clean that up.
00:08:40Are you really asking me?
00:08:45Are you really asking me?
00:08:47Well, of course I am.
00:08:48I'm the fiance of the heir to the Norman family.
00:09:02How could you do that?
00:09:03Do 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.
00:09:20Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:23No worries.
00:09:24All families have issues.
00:09:26You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:28Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:31In return, you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:37I couldn't afford that.
00:09:46Get the necklace from the safe.
00:09:48Someone deserves a gift.
00:10:00What is it?
00:10:03Here's a gift for Ms. Brown.
00:10:16Oh, that's me.
00:10:18Oh, it's beautiful.
00:10:20I bet Damon got this for me.
00:10:23Much better than an invitation, if I do say so myself.
00:10:26Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:30Wait, this is for Ms. Renee 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!
00:10:46You 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.
00:11:00Unwanted?
00:11:03Says who?
00:11:10Unwanted?
00:11:12Says who?
00:11:16She's with me.
00:11:17Oh, a skank and a server. How fitting.
00:11:21But 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.
00:11:28But, speaking of losers, you should probably go check in with your fiancé.
00:11:32My fiancé is the heir to the Norman Group.
00:11:36One word and he'll have both of you two out on your asses.
00:11:40I would like to see him try.
00:11:44Damon, come to my rescue, please.
00:11:46Hey, 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?
00:12:14Enough. I'll make a scene. Let's go.
00:12:19Let me spell it out for you two. He's the cousin to the heir, who likes to use the family name to scam people.
00:12:27How do you know that?
00:12:28Because I'm the real heir.
00:12:30Heir's assistant. Right, Damon?
00:12:37And you know the cost of lying, right, Damon?
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:48Just 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.
00:13:14Can 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?
00:13:40Your assistant asked me to meet you here.
00:13:42Or you could just sign your name on this contract.
00:13:49You framed me.
00:13:51Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:13:54Unless you're lying.
00:14:02You framed me.
00:14:03Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:14:06Unless you're lying.
00:14:12You know what? I don't feel so well.
00:14:15I don't even think I could pick up that pen.
00:14:17You'll have to find me another day.
00:14:23Mara's a fake. I'm such a fool.
00:14:26Don't be too hard on yourself.
00:14:28Well, where's the real president?
00:14:33I know.
00:14:36The real president...
00:14:40is in the office.
00:14:55Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:01Seems 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?
00:15:27Seems 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 going to suppress my curiosity.
00:15:42Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy.
00:15:45I hope so.
00:16:00I love you.
00:16:31How generous.
00:16:39Dude, Lord Group is dumping our shares.
00:16:41Our stock price is crashing.
00:16:43What?
00:16:51Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:53I checked every news source. I can't find anything on who the president is.
00:16:58That's impossible.
00:17:00What is it?
00:17:02Laura Brown?
00:17:04The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:06Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:08I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:10Phase one completed.
00:17:12Mara and her mother had heavily invested in Norman Group,
00:17:15so now it's time to watch their assets shrink.
00:17:17By the way, I made the donation in your mother's name.
00:17:20Thank you, Dotty.
00:17:22But I've figured out a way.
00:17:24Won't doing this also affect Laura Group's assets?
00:17:27Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:17:29Don't worry, I have a plan.
00:17:33I trust you, but don't overdo it.
00:17:37I have a feeling I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group very soon.
00:17:41Dear President,
00:17:43it's time to teach you a lesson.
00:17:55The informant says the president of Laura Group will be here tonight.
00:17:58I'll flush out this rat.
00:18:00I swear.
00:18:06Renee?
00:18:07Pirate, what are you doing here?
00:18:09I'm here to meet with the real president of the Laura Group.
00:18:13Have you seen...
00:18:17Damn, Paul.
00:18:19I forgot my wallet in the car.
00:18:22I forgot my wallet in the car.
00:18:24Um, why don't you order your drink?
00:18:26It's on me.
00:18:35Are you the one messing with the stocks?
00:18:37You're the president.
00:18:38Shouldn'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 to cover the losses.
00:18:46And 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!
00:19:13Things are different now, sister.
00:19:15I'm gonna get every single one of her pieces back.
00:19:17This isn't over.
00:19:23Mom, I'm gonna protect your artwork and your company.
00:19:27I promise.
00:19:30Hey, who's got you so down, chica?
00:19:33Leave me alone.
00:19:34Nah, you need my company.
00:19:41Leave her alone.
00:19:48Who the fuck?
00:19:50I'm her husband.
00:19:51I get it. Someone's unsatisfied.
00:19:54Fuck!
00:20:04Are you alright?
00:20:06Fine, thank you.
00:20:13You feeling confident?
00:20:15Let's see.
00:20:18Let us go, unless you want to see some blood.
00:20:24Run.
00:20:40They're not there now.
00:20:44Let's go.
00:20:47Come on.
00:20:53They're gone.
00:20:56Just to be safe, I think I should hold your hands a little longer.
00:21:01Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:04Not really.
00:21:07What else do you want?
00:21:18I love you.
00:21:26The auction's tomorrow.
00:21:2790% of the items are your mother's belongings, starting at $1.
00:21:34They're trying to humiliate her.
00:21:36And we can't let them get away with this.
00:21:38Yeah, but Mara's definitely gonna have some tricks up her sleeve.
00:21:41Then we need a white knight.
00:21:47Norman!
00:21:58Are you okay?
00:21:59You sounded urgent on the phone.
00:22:01I need to ask you a favor.
00:22:03As long as I can make it happen.
00:22:05I need you to pretend to be the heir of Norman Group.
00:22:13You want me to impersonate the heir of Norman?
00:22:16The heir's assistant.
00:22:17There's no one better for the job.
00:22:19I can ask him for real.
00:22:21These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy.
00:22:24And then she was kicked out of the group that she founded by Mara's mother.
00:22:28And now they're trying to cash in on her belongings.
00:22:30I need the heir to back you at the auction.
00:22:34You're my only choice.
00:22:41Since you're Laura's daughter, do you know who the new president is?
00:22:46Of course.
00:22:49Who is it?
00:22:55Me.
00:23:01Who is it?
00:23:05Me.
00:23:11I'm sorry, that was a bad joke.
00:23:15Thank goodness that you're not a stand-up comedian.
00:23:21Enough said.
00:23:22I can help you to get those things back.
00:23:41Are you being watched?
00:23:43Not yet.
00:23:44Do I really have to dress like a secret agent?
00:23:47Mara's met you already. She might recognize you.
00:23:51No way. In this outfit?
00:23:54I barely even recognize myself.
00:24:07Renee.
00:24:15Renee.
00:24:17It's been a long time.
00:24:19Oh, not long enough.
00:24:21Did you even think about saying hello when you got back?
00:24:23Well, I don't exactly fit in with the family of thieves and liars.
00:24:26Isn't that right, Miss President?
00:24:29Oh, sharp tongue just like your mother.
00:24:31I wonder how many auction items you're going to get to buy before you deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:36I wonder what the value of a useless dead body would bring to you tonight.
00:24:40Don't worry.
00:24:42The only thing you can steal from my mother and I is this coward.
00:24:48Welcome to today's auction.
00:24:50Up first, we have a painting by Laura Brown.
00:24:53And we will start the bidding at...
00:24:57One dollar.
00:25:05One hundred thousand.
00:25:07One hundred thousand.
00:25:09One hundred and one thousand.
00:25:11Two hundred thousand.
00:25:12Two hundred and one thousand.
00:25:17Five hundred thousand.
00:25:24Sold! Congratulations, guest number eight, who is the heir of the Norman Group.
00:25:36Sold!
00:25:42Sold! Congratulations, 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. You've got to play hard to get.
00:25:52For the 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 one dollar.
00:26:03One hundred thousand.
00:26:07Do I hear another bid?
00:26:10Sold! Congratulations on securing yet another item.
00:26:20Before you start talking big, you might want to check your bank account.
00:26:24Yeah, you're screwed. Even Norman's heir is on our side.
00:26:28I wouldn't be so sure about that.
00:26:30Congratulations, Ms. Brown. Mr. Norman has transferred all the items in your name.
00:26:35Here's the transfer document.
00:26:40Who's screwed now?
00:26:50Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:51Yeah, why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:54Mr. Norman!
00:26:58Wait a second.
00:27:01I knew it! You're the assistant!
00:27:03Assistant? How is the assistant going to pay for all this?
00:27:07About that. According to my mother's will, these items are always mine.
00:27:12And now they're finally back where they belong.
00:27:14I see that.
00:27:17Chloe, I have to thank you for holding this auction.
00:27:20Otherwise, I never would have known where you'd hidden them.
00:27:23That orphanage has taught you quite a bit, hasn't it?
00:27:31All the items today will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:50Thank you. I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly if it wasn't for you.
00:27:54I was just doing my job, as your husband.
00:28:00I have something for you.
00:28:04Even though this is a marriage of convenience, we should still have rings.
00:28:09Are you sure? It was your mom's.
00:28:13More than ever.
00:28:21Renee Brown.
00:28:24Will you marry me?
00:28:30You're too late. I'm already taken.
00:28:37By you.
00:28:44By you.
00:29:00I love you.
00:29:31Hello?
00:29:32Wake up, Renee. Norman Group is fighting back. They're buying up our stock in large quantities.
00:29:38What?
00:29:41Are you sure about that?
00:29:43I'm done lying to her. I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group.
00:29:48Something urgent?
00:29:49Yeah, it's... I'll explain later.
00:29:58Maybe 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?
00:30:26Not bad. Until I found out that you're married to somebody I don't even know.
00:30:33Yep. My ship has sailed. Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:38Is that so? I've already called Fiona back from Europe. Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:45I'm already the head of the Norman Group. Not even you can interfere with my life anymore.
00:30:54You 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.
00:31:13Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:14No, not yet. But still haven't told him.
00:31:22Hello?
00:31:23Are you available tonight? I have something to tell you.
00:31:35What happened?
00:31:36Nothing. Just some family issues.
00:31:38Well, I'm an expert in that.
00:31:43If you are having family issues, you could always come stay at my place.
00:31:49Are you asking me to move in with you?
00:31:52Will you?
00:31:55Barry, I missed you so much.
00:31:58Fiona!
00:32:07It's been so long. You still like black coffee?
00:32:10No, thank you.
00:32:12I admire your devotion.
00:32:15And who is she?
00:32:17This is Renee. She's my...
00:32:19His blind date.
00:32:20Really?
00:32:21Yeah.
00:32:23But I have to think twice about whether to continue.
00:32:26Well, I guess I've been gone for too long.
00:32:29But I came back to marry Barrett. Isn't that right?
00:32:34Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:37I know. But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me.
00:32:42Is that so?
00:32:44Good to know.
00:32:47Excuse me for a moment. You two can wrap it up.
00:32:52Renee, let me explain first.
00:32:54Explain what? You have a gravely ill grandfather, you have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment?
00:33:01That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:33:04Wait! It's not true.
00:33:14What's going on? You two had a fight?
00:33:16None of your business.
00:33:18Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet. Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:25Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:27Sweet dreams, both of you.
00:33:31Enough! I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:35So she's your quickie wife? Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:40She's not a quickie. She's the love of my life.
00:34:10You invited me. No taking backsies.
00:34:31Alright.
00:34:36I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:38No chance.
00:34:45The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal.
00:34:50I know. And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:55Do you promise?
00:34:57I promise.
00:35:01No one kisses me right back at you.
00:35:16I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:18No, man. I moved in with Renee.
00:35:21Oh 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.
00:35:31What 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 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.
00:35:51Romeo.
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.
00:36:23Renee?
00:36:26Oh, hi.
00:36:48I just keep loving you more.
00:36:52Me too.
00:36:53What the hell?
00:36:55I can take you there.
00:36:57Hey, don't worry.
00:36:59What happens here stays here.
00:37:01No. You're psychotic.
00:37:04Does she know who you really are?
00:37:07You two are from completely different worlds.
00:37:09There's no future for you and her.
00:37:11Thanks for your input.
00:37:13If you leave, you're gonna regret it.
00:37:15If I stay, I'll regret it.
00:37:17Don't think about pulling any more tricks.
00:37:19I can pull all of your company's investments in a second.
00:37:46You have something for me?
00:37:47I'm sorry, but you deserve to know.
00:37:53I know you're married to him.
00:37:55I 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?
00:38:14Why not?
00:38:17I'd have told Renee everything.
00:38:20Your plan failed.
00:38:28Better luck next time.
00:38:31No, stop. That won't work on me.
00:38:34You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:37Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:39And don't ever come back.
00:38:42Renee, do you really trust your husband?
00:38:46Don't bother.
00:38:48I know he has his secrets.
00:38:51And I've got mine.
00:38:54We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:57Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:39:17Finally.
00:39:22What's got you so happy?
00:39:26You don't have to wait for tonight.
00:39:28You can't tell me no.
00:39:30Gotta keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship.
00:39:33Kendra McLean.
00:39:39Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:42I need you to help me.
00:39:44Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:46I need you at the office now.
00:39:50Norman.
00:39:58Norman.
00:40:03What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:05Something urgent just came up. I gotta go.
00:40:08Don't forget to be back by seven.
00:40:10I've got something important planned.
00:40:15What's going on?
00:40:17How 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?
00:40:45What are you doing here?
00:40:48I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:50I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:53Even if you are the president,
00:40:55I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group.
00:40:58What a shame.
00:40:59The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company.
00:41:03I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat.
00:41:06Security!
00:41:07Kick her out.
00:41:08I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:10Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:12No, until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting,
00:41:14I still have control of this company.
00:41:16Let me go.
00:41:17Are you really going to let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:19It still belongs to our family.
00:41:21Family.
00:41:22How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:25Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette.
00:41:30I think you need a lesson.
00:41:33Don't you dare!
00:41:34What?
00:41:43Don't you dare!
00:41:44What?
00:41:49This is my final warning.
00:41:52This is a Brown family matter. You need not get involved.
00:41:55Funny, I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household.
00:41:59Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:42:02Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman
00:42:05to appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group.
00:42:09Are you serious?
00:42:11You heard me right.
00:42:12Now, I assume you would like to clear out these three?
00:42:15I am so sorry, but since you've traded away all of your shares,
00:42:18you no longer have any stake in the Laura Group.
00:42:22Please leave.
00:42:24Let's go, ladies. Let's go.
00:42:32Let me get this straight.
00:42:33Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laura Group,
00:42:36wants me to be president?
00:42:38Indeed.
00:42:39Well, I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:41I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:44Except...
00:42:53I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:56Except...
00:42:58Well, I was going to tell you tonight.
00:43:00Actually, I...
00:43:01Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:03Huh?
00:43:04My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:06Your relationship to him is through you.
00:43:08How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:10Does 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.
00:43:19I've been president of Laura Group all along.
00:43:21Wait.
00:43:22So 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.
00:43:39Sure.
00:43:40Sure.
00:43:42What are you waiting for?
00:43:56Dude.
00:43:57Why didn't you come clean back there?
00:43:59It's too much for her to process today.
00:44:01I'll take it to her another day.
00:44:02What 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.
00:44:16Well, you played the game and you won.
00:44:19She needs to accept that.
00:44:20She can lose, okay?
00:44:22But not to me in disguise.
00:44:24It'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.
00:44:48Congrats, Renee.
00:44:49I always knew you were something special.
00:44:51Really?
00:44:52Then 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.
00:45:04Looks like you could pull it off.
00:45:05What, this?
00:45:06No, this is a knock-off.
00:45:07Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off and I wear it for fun.
00:45:12No way.
00:45:13I've never made mistakes in luxury.
00:45:16There's no chance that's a knock-off.
00:45:18Alright, I'm not going to hold you accountable for the past.
00:45:20You can stop with the flattery.
00:45:21For 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.
00:45:35That necklace is real.
00:45:37No flattery, just facts.
00:45:43What if Carl's right?
00:45:44How much would that cost?
00:45:45No.
00:45:46Even though he works for Norman Group, something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:51Unless...
00:45:52Because I'm the real heir.
00:45:54Assistant.
00:45:55I came back to marry Barrett.
00:45:57I was going to tell you tonight.
00:45:58Actually, um...
00:46:00No.
00:46:01Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:06Hold on.
00:46:09The necklace is real.
00:46:10Look.
00:46:12Your Barrett is Barrett Norman, the heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:20Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:22Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:24No.
00:46:26Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:30What?
00:46:31Who did this?
00:46:39Get the PR team in here.
00:46:40I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:46Uh, you have a visitor.
00:46:48Not now!
00:46:49No.
00:46:54So the article was true.
00:46:57Let me explain.
00:46:58I was going to tell you earlier, but then I found out that you were the...
00:47:01Well, I found out that I was the president of the company you acquired.
00:47:04Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:06Not true.
00:47:07Then what is the truth?
00:47:08Were you afraid to hurt my pride?
00:47:10Or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:13You don't get it, Renee.
00:47:14I acquired the Lord Group for you as a gift.
00:47:17I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:19Don't talk about my mother!
00:47:21I don't get it.
00:47:22You were so excited about this before you knew who I was, so why not now?
00:47:25Because I don't need your mercy!
00:47:27I had a plan. I was capable of doing it myself.
00:47:30I was your husband. I wanted to help you to carry the burden.
00:47:32Is that so wrong?
00:47:34No.
00:47:36Not anymore.
00:47:40What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:43Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:45We're getting a divorce.
00:47:47Renee.
00:47:55Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:47:57Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:47:59What is there to talk about?
00:48:01We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:03Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:05Both executives, both enjoy identity games.
00:48:07I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:09I guess.
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, maybe he wouldn't have acted like this.
00:48:20Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way.
00:48:22Maybe that's my issue.
00:48:26The Browns think money can solve anything.
00:48:29Including love and dignity.
00:48:33I don't know if Barrett's like that too.
00:48:36You do.
00:48:38You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:42I love you.
00:48:48Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:59Renee.
00:49:00What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:12Oh.
00:49:19Hey.
00:49:20Renee.
00:49:21You're back.
00:49:23I'm sorry, I did it out of love for you.
00:49:26Please forgive me.
00:49:28It's okay.
00:49:29I have my faults too.
00:49:31So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:33Why should I?
00:49:35I'm not dreaming, am I?
00:49:42No.
00:49:44This is real.
00:49:48Let's get you to bed.
00:49:57Relax.
00:49:59Come here, Renee.
00:50:11Come here.
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?
00:50:45No way.
00:50:46Last night it was...
00:50:47It was Renee.
00:50:50It was you.
00:50:52Don't get close to me.
00:50:56And keep your mouth shut.
00:50:57If you don't, I won't let you live it down.
00:51:10Where are the photos?
00:51:16You seem...
00:51:17Not mad.
00:51:18He made his decision.
00:51:20Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:22You seem well informed.
00:51:24Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company,
00:51:27and it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you.
00:51:31I'm sorry.
00:51:32I'm sorry.
00:51:33I'm sorry.
00:51:34I'm sorry.
00:51:35I'm sorry.
00:51:36He made his decision.
00:51:38Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company,
00:51:42and it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you.
00:51:46Well,
00:51:48I admire your sanity.
00:51:51Well, I admire your sanity.
00:51:53Have a drink with me,
00:51:55and I'll give you all the photos
00:51:57and I'll leave Barrett alone.
00:51:59Did you drug me?
00:52:10Yes.
00:52:11I did.
00:52:13And by the way, I was the one who wrote the article revealing Barrett's identity.
00:52:31Renee?
00:52:33Remember to sign these papers.
00:52:42The company rightfully belongs to you.
00:52:46That was my promise.
00:52:49Maybe my last one.
00:53:04I love you.
00:53:10Mr. Norman?
00:53:11Dorothy?
00:53:12What are you doing here?
00:53:13Where's Renee?
00:53:14I need your help.
00:53:15Renee's missing.
00:53:16Missing?
00:53:17Do we really have to?
00:53:32She's still my daughter.
00:53:34Zip it.
00:53:35You want the money or not.
00:53:36Dad, as long as she's willing to sign, we'll let her live.
00:53:47You must be starving.
00:53:51You know I'm allergic to nuts, right?
00:53:59Look, Renee, just sign the documents.
00:54:03Sign your shares over to Chloe and I guarantee she'll let you go.
00:54:07Let me go?
00:54:09Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:12Just kill me, if you dare.
00:54:16No!
00:54:26My detectives are still searching, but her last location update was 12 hours ago.
00:54:31Alright, keep me in the loop.
00:54:40What are you doing here?
00:54:42Barry, why do you look so stressed?
00:54:45How did you get in?
00:54:46I just walked in, as your fiancé.
00:54:49Get out.
00:54:50You're the last person I want to see right now.
00:54:57Kick me out and you'll never see her again.
00:55:03Where is she?
00:55:05She's alive, for now.
00:55:08But only if you agree to one condition.
00:55:12What do you want?
00:55:15Marry me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26Marry me.
00:55:29You're sick. You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:34Don't flatter yourself. It was never you that I wanted.
00:55:38What do you mean?
00:55:41Ever since I was born, everyone swore to me that I was going to be the future Mrs. Norman.
00:55:46So this is all just about power.
00:55:48Exactly. Blame it on being the head of the Norman Company.
00:55:52You were always destined to be my husband.
00:55:59Take your time to think about it.
00:56:02But not too long.
00:56:04She's got a lot of enemies.
00:56:11Enemies?
00:56:15Paul, find Damon for me. Right now.
00:56:25Go after him!
00:56:31Just give me three days and I'll get your money back, I promise.
00:56:35Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:37I went in there. She broke up with me a long time ago.
00:56:41Do you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:44Okay. Okay. But I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
00:56:48How much do you know?
00:56:50Maura asked me to help her. I didn't. I didn't.
00:56:54Wait. Then how could you know where she is?
00:56:56I have Maura's GPS. This is her location.
00:57:11We can't tip them off until we make our move.
00:57:21I agree to get engaged with you.
00:57:26Paul, you need a new suit.
00:57:41Didn't Ms. Norman just get married?
00:57:44Why is he getting engaged again?
00:57:46It's a business marriage. It's pretty common.
00:57:51If you're going to act, do it right.
00:57:54I'm not as fake as you. I can't pull it off.
00:57:59Make me happy and that woman might stay alive.
00:58:04Excuse me, Your Majesty. I have a very important phone call to make.
00:58:07I'll be back.
00:58:18I need her dead!
00:58:20I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:58:22I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:58:24I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:58:26I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:58:28I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:58:30I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:58:32I need her dead. Now.
00:58:41I have a very important phone call to make. I'll be back.
00:58:49Here's the keys to a rental. It'll keep them from spotting you.
00:58:52Thanks, man.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:56You gotta hurry, okay? I 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.
00:59:10Go kill her. Fiona will hand the company over to us.
00:59:13Do it fast, Dad. We'll meet you outside.
00:59:20I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:30I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:34Sorry? Did you ever feel sorry for my mother?
00:59:37It was my fault. I had no choice.
00:59:40But you did. And you chose to sacrifice her.
00:59:45Just do it. I'm ready.
01:00:00Renee.
01:00:02Oh, my God. Are you all right?
01:00:05Let's get you out of here.
01:00:07Not so fast.
01:00:10Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:00:20What took you so long?
01:00:22What took you so long?
01:00:32Where's Barrett?
01:00:36I'm here.
01:00:47Not so fast.
01:00:50Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:00:59Game over.
01:01:08You're alive?
01:01:09You seem surprised.
01:01:13What 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.
01:01:31Uncle Ben, help me.
01:01:33Weren't you always on my side?
01:01:36Well, I'm no longer your head of the family.
01:01:40Do whatever you need to do.
01:01:43Hey, let go of me.
01:01:49This isn't over.
01:01:58Till death do us part.
01:02:00Till death do us part.
01:02:19Look.
01:02:20Our stock just hit an all-time high.
01:02:22Nice. Double that and it might be worth half of our price.
01:02:26Well, give me a year and I'll definitely surpass you.
01:02:30Sure thing.
01:02:36Miss Brown, about the divorce application you submitted a few months ago...
01:02:40We won't need it.
01:02:44What did you say, Miss Brown?
01:02:46Shall we do this thing?
01:02:48Yeah.
