00:00Seven years flew by. Today is my Charles's postdoctoral graduation.
00:05Welcome back, Ms. Peterson!
00:08It's time to tell you I'm the president of Rose Corporation.
00:11I'm the one that's been supporting your research and education all these years.
00:15It's going to be a great surprise.
00:17Babe, I'm coming for you on the ride. You gifted me.
00:31Oh!
00:33Move it, you bitch! You can't afford to scratch this car!
00:36Hey!
00:37You have any idea who she is?
00:39No!
00:41My apologies, President Marsh.
00:45It's okay.
00:47Did you handle what I asked for?
00:49Yes, ma'am.
00:50Your boyfriend Charles signed with the Griffith Group.
00:52And tonight, all of New York's bigwigs will be at his onboarding banquet.
00:56And they're going to meet the world's youngest AI genius.
00:59Fantastic, Baron.
01:01Now, could you please help me prepare three special gifts?
01:04I'm going to propose to Charles tonight.
01:06Right away, ma'am.
01:18Hi.
01:20Tristan Griffith, CEO of Griffith Group.
01:23Tristan Griffith, CEO of Griffith Group.
01:26Third wealthiest man in Manhattan.
01:28Owner of multiple private islands.
01:31It's right there. It's my ride.
01:33So you're the CEO of the Griffith Group.
01:37What a coincidence.
01:39This is where you introduce yourself.
01:41Oh, um.
01:42Juliette Marsh.
01:44College dropout.
01:45Worked overseas.
01:47No real estate in the States.
01:49And this is my ride, as you can see.
01:52All right, none of that matters.
01:53Come on, let's go get married.
01:58Come on, let's go get married.
02:01Wait, wait, wait.
02:02Get married?
02:04Sir, what are you talking about?
02:06We already talked about it on the phone.
02:07Contract marriage.
02:08$10,000 a month.
02:10We get divorced in three years.
02:11You get a lump sum of one million.
02:14Come on, let's go to City Hall.
02:16We're going to be late.
02:17Wait, hold on.
02:19I think you've got the wrong person.
02:21I'm engaged.
02:22I'm actually here to see my boyfriend.
02:25So, so you're not...
02:27Sorry, I must have been mistaken.
02:35Where's the woman from my contract marriage?
02:37Is she arriving soon?
02:38Boss, our energy stock was just hit by foreign capital.
02:41Hundreds of millions lost in a half an hour.
02:43What should we do?
02:44I just got word that the lady boss of Rose Corporation,
02:46the world's largest conglomerate in the world,
02:48landed in the United States.
02:50We need to secure her investment.
02:53Our loss from the energy project
02:55will put us in a really vulnerable position.
02:58We need to sell now to avoid any further damage.
03:01We've put too much into this, sir.
03:03Right now, the most imperative thing
03:05is that we get the investment from Rose Corporation.
03:07Nothing can get in its way, okay?
03:09Hold on.
03:11I can't marry you.
03:13But I think I can help.
03:16According to my intel,
03:18in about five minutes,
03:19a war will break out in the petroleum-rich country.
03:21Your traditional energy stock will skyrocket then.
03:24What are you talking about?
03:27Four minutes left.
03:28Listen to me.
03:29Don't sell it.
03:31Miss, Griffith Group has the top intelligence
03:34and analysis teams in the country.
03:36If they cannot predict this, how could you?
03:39My source is reliable.
03:40It's only a few minutes, Mr. Holt.
03:42My source is reliable.
03:43It's only a few minutes, Mr. Griffith.
03:45Don't make a rash decision you'll regret.
03:51I have to go, Mr. Griffith.
03:52Stay calm.
03:56Hang tight.
03:57Just for a few minutes.
04:02Who is this strange girl
04:03telling me how to run my business?
04:07Who was that?
04:08Another one of your not-so-secret admirers, boss?
04:11Now is not the time for jokes, is it?
04:13Right, sir.
04:14Should we still sell the project?
04:16Sell it immediately.
04:17Don't sell it.
04:18Wait.
04:19Don't make a rash decision you'll regret.
04:21Don't sell it yet.
04:22Just let's wait a few minutes.
04:24Let's see what happens.
04:29Mrs. Hughes!
04:30Long time no see.
04:32Are you here for Charles as well?
04:38Carol, what's wrong with you?
04:40I'm your son's fiancé.
04:42Not anymore, you little slut.
04:45You're breaking up with my son today.
04:51Why are you saying that?
04:53Here is one million dollars.
04:56Take it and leave Charles alone.
04:59He's soaring to new heights.
05:00Someone as lonely as you
05:02doesn't deserve to be his fiancé.
05:05I don't serve him.
05:07That's right.
05:08That's right.
05:09The Griffith Group chose Charles
05:11to be their new chief AI engineer
05:14with an annual salary of five million dollars.
05:19Do you really think that someone
05:20who had been selling herself overseas
05:23would be a good match for him?
05:26Carol, Charles got this job because of me.
05:32You little bitch.
05:34Are you insane?
05:35No, I'm not.
05:37Mrs. Hughes, you have no idea what you're talking about.
05:39Enough.
05:40Juliet.
05:41Charles.
05:42Carol, I don't know why she's saying that.
05:45Honey.
05:46Don't call me honey, Juliet.
05:49What the hell is going on, Charles?
05:51I've had enough of your nonsense, alright?
05:53The Griffith Group is the top conglomerate in New York City.
05:57How could a woman like you help me in any way?
06:01I know that you've been selling yourself overseas.
06:04You're saying that to me.
06:06Why are you convinced that I've been selling myself?
06:09On what grounds?
06:11Come on, Juliet.
06:14If you weren't selling yourself,
06:15how else would you have the money
06:17to support my son's education?
06:20Other than that pretty face,
06:22what else do you have?
06:26Our world's apart now, Juliet.
06:29For the sake of our seven year relationship,
06:32take the check and get lost.
06:37Time's up.
06:39Must be crazy for trusting a stranger.
06:43Go ahead with selling.
06:44New military conflict broke out in multiple countries
06:47in the Middle East.
06:48This will severely destabilize the petroleum price worldwide.
06:52Experts believe that Brent crude oil prices
06:55will rise by 300%.
06:57Traditional energy stocks...
06:59She was right.
07:01Is that possible?
07:03Who is this?
07:06Charles.
07:08How could you do this to me?
07:11I gave up my dreams for you.
07:13If it weren't for me giving up my offer
07:15from Harvard Business School,
07:18you wouldn't be where you are today.
07:21And now...
07:22And now you're just ready to throw it all away?
07:25That was your own choice.
07:27We didn't force your hand.
07:29Juliet, stop exaggerating your sacrifices.
07:33Stop exaggerating your sacrifice, okay?
07:36The truth is, the money you gave me
07:39was a drop in the bucket.
07:41I owe my success to someone truly powerful.
07:45And who would that be?
07:47The largest conglomerate in the world,
07:49even bigger than Griffith Group.
07:51The president of the Rose Corporation.
07:57She emerged a few years ago,
07:59creating her wealth from ground zero,
08:01defeating financial giants,
08:03and now she's on top of the world.
08:06She is the one who funded my education and my research.
08:10I owe all of my achievements today to her, not you.
08:17She even promised to come to tonight's event.
08:20I'll be able to greet her properly tonight.
08:25Charles, I heard the president of Rose Corporation
08:29is young and single.
08:32Perhaps she's interested in you.
08:35I get it.
08:36You think you have a shot with the president.
08:39And that's why you're in such a hurry to break up with me.
08:42I won't deny it.
08:45I admire an independent, powerful woman like her.
08:49See, I need a business queen by my side,
08:53not an ignorant, incapable woman like you.
08:57Charles, your arrogance is astounding.
09:03Don't worry, I won't cling to you.
09:06I just hope you won't regret it when you find out the truth tonight.
09:10Regret?
09:12What would I possibly regret?
09:19Listen to me, Julia.
09:21Breaking up with you was the best decision I have ever made.
09:26Okay?
09:27Fine.
09:28You and I are over.
09:32Okay, keep acting tough, Charles.
09:36Do not waste any more time on her.
09:39Let's get you ready.
09:40I want the president to fall for you at first sight.
09:47Seven years of love, seven years of support,
09:51and it all just ends.
09:54Charles, I can't wait to see your face tonight when you learn the truth.
09:59And I thought you were different.
10:01Turns out, you're just like anyone else.
10:04Who gets blinded by so-called love.
10:09Please don't mock me now.
10:13A man like that is not worth your tears, Miss Marsh.
10:18It's you.
10:19I wanted to thank you.
10:21Your tip saved my company hundreds of millions.
10:26It was nothing.
10:27No need to mention it.
10:29To show my gratitude, I wanted to help you in return.
10:33What could you possibly help me with?
10:36Maybe I can help you with your situation before.
10:42What do you mean?
10:45Marry me.
10:47Come to the event tonight as Mrs. Griffith.
10:51Come on, think about it.
10:53Don't you want to see your now ex-boyfriend's face
10:56when he finds out that not only are you married,
10:59but you're married to his company's CEO.
11:03It would be a great way to get back at him.
11:07Fine, I'll do it.
11:09And in return, as my husband, I'll protect you.
11:15You'll protect me?
11:17I don't even think you could begin to understand
11:20my world or my types of problems.
11:24Your problems might be trivial to mine.
11:28There are plenty of handsome men in the world.
11:32But only you are lucky enough to stand by my side.
11:37I'm sorry.
11:39I'm sorry.
11:41I'm sorry.
11:42You're lucky enough to stand by my side and share in my glory.
11:49You can be yourself for a homie,
11:52there's no need to put up a front.
12:05A little birdie told me that you're eager for an investment from the Rose Corporation.
12:09I could help with that.
12:11And in your bid, I could help you secure a $1 billion investment.
12:15I don't think you understand what you're saying.
12:19Come on, the bid won't cost you anything.
12:27Hello?
12:28Secure our bid for the Traditional Energy Project with the Rose Corporation ASAP.
12:34Alright, I followed your lead.
12:37Let's go get that marriage certificate.
12:41Alright, Mrs. Griffin, would you read to me?
12:53I would love to, Mr. Griffin.
13:12I have some matters to attend to.
13:14I'll be back in 10 minutes, and then I'll introduce you to all of New York's elite.
13:19Go ahead.
13:26Your reputation precedes you, Dr. Hughes.
13:29You're not only a genius with not one, but two PhDs.
13:33It is an honor to meet you in person, finally.
13:38I hear Griffith's group CEO values you highly, Dr. Hughes.
13:41$5 million annual salary. Very, very impressive.
13:46The Griffith CEO rarely attends outings like this, yet he's coming tonight.
13:50It speaks volumes about your potential in the company, Dr. Hughes.
13:53The future's bright.
13:56Cheers.
14:02And now, with the endorsement from Mr. Griffith, Dr. Hughes' prospects are brighter than our imagination.
14:10Dr. Hughes, if the opportunity presents itself, I hope that you would lend me a hand.
14:19Actually, tonight, there will be another prominent figure attending besides Mr. Griffith.
14:26She...
14:32Excuse me.
14:36Julia, how did you sneak in here?
14:42Julia, how did you sneak in here?
14:46Charles.
14:47I didn't sneak in. I walked through the front door like everyone else.
14:53You!
14:55This dinner party was specifically set up to celebrate the onboarding of my son with the Griffith group.
15:01Only the highest profile elites from the city can be here.
15:06Are you...
15:08Are you here to beg for my son to take you back?
15:12Julia, I've made this crystal clear. I want nothing to do with you, okay?
15:18In fact, you're only making me despise you more.
15:21Please don't forget that Tristan Griffith is the host of the banquet, not you.
15:26Shut up, you ignorant bitch.
15:29I'm the most prominent AI scientist in the world. I'm a star wherever I go.
15:34Mr. Griffith threw this event for me.
15:37Is that so?
15:39Is that the reason why I can't be here then?
15:41Yeah, of course not.
15:42This event is for industry elites to discuss the future of AI and monetization strategies.
15:48What possible value could you add to that conversation?
15:52Look, just be smart.
15:55Get out. Now.
15:58No matter how much Tristan Griffith respects you, you're still not him.
16:03You're nothing compared to him.
16:06So you have no right to make me leave.
16:10What did you just say?
16:13Who's causing the scene here?
16:15Susan, good that you're here.
16:17We specifically chose this site to host my son's celebration party.
16:22Because of the old times and to get with the family.
16:26Well, how is your security so subpar that they let this lowlife in?
16:30Please don't stress out about it. I'll handle this, Mrs. Hughes.
16:35Listen here, you little skank.
16:37This is my family's hotel.
16:39And I don't care who you slept with to get in, but you need to leave. Now.
16:45Like I said before, I walked in through the front door like everyone else.
16:50Where's your invite?
16:53What invite?
16:58What invite?
16:59Tristan didn't mention a thing when he brought me in.
17:04Do you even know what you're talking about?
17:06Talking about?
17:07To speak on the name of the Midas of New York City?
17:10Mr. Griffith?
17:12That sacrilege?
17:14Did you sneak in here just to latch on to me?
17:18You shameless slut!
17:21Uh, boss?
17:23We've used over 10 major connections, 30 different confidential channels,
17:27and 137 different countries trying to dig up information on Ms. Juliette Marsh.
17:33We haven't been able to find a single thing about her.
17:37Interesting.
17:39This Ms. Marsh has a scandalous past.
17:42Boss, don't you think it's a bit strange?
17:44I mean, this woman seems to be too much of a mystery in my opinion.
17:48She could have ulterior motives.
17:51None of her past matters to me.
17:53What matters now is that she is Mrs. Griffith.
18:00Let's go.
18:01We shall not keep her waiting at the banquet.
18:06Charles, you haven't even signed with Griffith Group yet.
18:10Aren't you supposed to make people believe that you're easy to work with?
18:14How dare you walk in here and act like you own the place and talk all this bullshit.
18:20Shut up, you bitch!
18:22You are just some dirty rag that Dr. Hughes tossed aside.
18:26Do you even know who Dr. Hughes is?
18:29He is the world's most prominent AI scientist.
18:32And he was recruited by Mr. Griffith himself.
18:36His future is limitless.
18:38Is that so?
18:40Tristan must think really highly of him then.
18:47Of course.
18:48To show our respect for Dr. Hughes, the Griffith Group has prepared a signing table worth millions.
18:54Crafted by Vasari from Italy.
18:56The contract is signed on vintage era parchment paper.
19:00And even the pen is a century old limited edition from Arroyo Diamante.
19:05I bet a piece of white trash like you has never heard of any of that though, right?
19:09Who cares?
19:10All show and no substance.
19:12One word from me and Tristan will bring them all to me himself.
19:16Do you guys hear this shameless hussy use Mr. Griffith's name to taunt and lie?
19:22When he arrives, he'll rip out your tongue.
19:25Juliet, when you embarrass yourself later, don't come begging, crying to me to come save you.
19:32Alright?
19:34Charles, once Tristan arrives, the embarrassment will be all yours.
19:40Who do you think you are?
19:42Do you know who Mr. Hughes is?
19:44Even I can only admire him from afar, yet you dare to insult him and disrespect Mr. Griffith's name?
19:51You need a lesson.
19:52You need a lesson.
19:54Let go, you bitch!
19:58Juliet, have you lost your mind starting a fight here?
20:02Stop being a violent shrew, alright?
20:08Right, I'm the ignorant bitch that doesn't deserve any justice.
20:12But the moment she tries to hit me and I defend myself, I'm the crazy one?
20:18Your double standards are truly something, Charles.
20:23Stop making, you're making a scene.
20:26This is the Taylor family's hotel.
20:28If Miss Taylor wanted to slap you, she could do so.
20:32She has the right to.
20:33Like mother, like son.
20:35Twisting the truth, Charles.
20:37Cut up!
20:38If you had any dignity, you would have left long ago.
20:41Don't let your filthy presence taint this prestigious place.
20:45Everybody here is high profile.
20:48Even the waitstaff and greeters were meticulously chosen.
20:51Someone like you just sullies Mr. Griffith's event.
20:54Save your breath, for your own sake.
20:57And just leave.
20:59You know, you must have hit your head pretty hard if you could paint a picture of yourself with Mr. Griffith.
21:06Here's a thousand dollars.
21:08Go catch a cab, go home, get lost.
21:16So this is the caliber of New York's elites.
21:20No wonder Tristan became the Midas of New York City in just a few years.
21:25It's not because he's too powerful.
21:27It's because you all are so incompetent.
21:34How can an ignorant, lowlife like yourself judge the moguls of New York and call Mr. Griffith by his first name?
21:42When Mr. Griffith arrives, you'll be the one begging on your knees.
21:46You're wrong.
21:47Once Tristan comes, the one begging for forgiveness will be you.
21:52Juliet, look.
21:54I know you're still upset about our breakup.
21:57But that doesn't mean you can lash out like a dog.
22:00Okay?
22:01Charles, I intended to guide you to the top of the world.
22:05But it's a shame.
22:07You showed your true colors before signing your first contract.
22:10Stop. How long are you going to keep bullshitting me?
22:13Bullshitting me?
22:14Just accept the fact that your destiny will be struggling at the bottom forever.
22:20You might even end up on these streets.
22:22While me?
22:23I'm destined for greatness, baby.
22:26We'll see soon enough what a tossed-aside, dirty rag he truly is.
22:32The End
22:43Boss, we had hackers look into investigating Miss Marsh.
22:47We were warned off.
22:49Several of our main channels cut ties with us as a result.
22:53Interesting.
22:54Juliet, you become more and more intriguing as the minutes pass by.
22:58Let's go.
23:01Juliet, I know you.
23:04Pretending to work abroad, while really prostituting yourself.
23:10Yeah, you're sick.
23:12No one's ever going to want you.
23:14Just get it through your head that your destiny is struggling at the bottom.
23:18Dr. Hughes, your insults know no bounds.
23:23Yes, I started from the bottom.
23:26But it's my hard work that got me to where I am today.
23:30You know nothing but money and stacks.
23:33Your tunnel vision is going to leave you with nothing.
23:36Shut up.
23:38Juliet, recognize your place as a rat.
23:41You don't even deserve to stand up here with me.
23:44When Tristan comes, you'll see who I really am then.
23:48And I hope you can still act like the big shot you are now.
23:55The only reason why you're still here is because I am tolerating you.
23:59If I say the word, the Taylor family's guards will feed you to the dogs.
24:03Are you threatening me?
24:05Charles, after seven years together, I must have been truly blind to give up everything for a man like you.
24:14Juliet Marsh, this is your last chance.
24:17Get out now.
24:19You don't have the right to make me leave.
24:22I'm taking back everything I gave you.
24:29Oh!
24:39Oh my god!
24:41I can't believe she's doing this!
24:45Bitch, how dare you tear up my contract?
24:47Miss Taylor, get rid of her immediately.
24:50You heard Mrs. Hughes. Get her out of here.
24:55Stop it!
25:00Who dares to touch her?
25:06Who dares to touch her?
25:08Mr. Griffith, it is an honor to meet you.
25:11Welcome, Mr. Griffith.
25:17Now that Mr. Griffith is here, you're done.
25:21Mrs. Hughes, I'm afraid you're mistaken.
25:24The chips have fallen.
25:26I'm afraid you're mistaken.
25:28The chips have fallen and you're still bluffing.
25:32If you apologize now, you might just have a chance to live.
25:35Have I done something wrong?
25:37Grateful bitch.
25:38There's an order to things.
25:40This is not a place for a lowly rat like you to act up.
25:45Charles, you're wrong.
25:47I may have been born ordinary, but who's to say I'm not the star of tonight's event?
25:54What exactly is going on in my head?
26:02Mr. Griffith, please excuse all of this.
26:05There has been a breach at the security hotel and a rat has managed to sneak in.
26:11A rat?
26:12Show me.
26:14Where is it?
26:15There she is, Mr. Griffith.
26:18My son is simply too outstanding and this shameless woman has been clinging to him relentlessly.
26:26Shameless woman? Really?
26:29Yes, she has been obsessed with my son for seven years.
26:35Today, she crashed my son's signing banquet and tore up the contract that you so meticulously prepared.
26:43Is that true? You tore up the contract?
26:46Absolutely, Mr. Griffith.
26:48This woman, she gave me a little bit of financial support when I was in school.
26:52And since then, she has fancied herself as my girlfriend.
26:56She has come back to take everything she gave me and she has spared your name.
27:02Are you sure she doesn't have a new girlfriend?
27:05Oh god, god no.
27:07No, bitch.
27:09She is delusional.
27:11We broke up fair and square.
27:13Please, please, Mr. Griffith.
27:15Take care of her however you please.
27:26Do you think Mr. Griffith will give her everything she wants?
27:29I can't just let her run her mouth all evening and ruin this event.
27:32Mr. Griffith, I was just about to have her thrown out to avoid any more unpleasantries.
27:37Yes, Miss Taylor was about to toss her out like a pile of garbage.
27:41But it just so happened you walked in.
27:43The fault is on us to keep some lowlife ruining your evening.
27:47Is everything they say true?
27:49It's true.
27:51I must admit, you have some nerve.
27:57I take it as a compliment.
27:59Have you lost your mind? Do you know who you're talking to?
28:02How dare you flirt with Mr. Griffith, you shameless whore.
28:07Charles, it's a good thing you dumped her or she would have dragged you down with her.
28:11You know, I heard that Mr. Griffith despises women who try too hard.
28:15Juliet, you've lost your chance.
28:21The audacity. She'll pay for her outrageous behavior.
28:25On the contrary, it seems Mr. Griffith not only admires me, but is eager to confess his feelings.
28:32Shut your pie hole, you slut.
28:35Who gave you the right to speak to Mr. Griffith like that?
28:37Someone should teach you a lesson.
28:41James, what are you doing?
28:42He'll give you permission to touch her.
28:44If not me, then does Mr. Griffith want to punish her himself?
28:49Juliet's finished.
28:51Mr. Griffith is going to teach her a lesson.
28:55She deserves it.
28:56Don't you dare plead for her.
28:59I wonder Juliet brought this upon yourself.
29:06I have an announcement to make.
29:11This woman, beautiful, is my lawful wife, Mrs. Juliet Marsh.
29:32Dad, who are three lavish people?
29:34Don't touch those.
29:35Those are gifts from the President of the Rose Corporation for her boyfriend.
29:39Wow. What kind of man is worth such precious gifts from such a marvelous woman?
29:44Oh, the man she loves the most.
29:47You know, this could be an opportunity for you.
29:49If you deliver these gifts at the Griffith Group's signing banquet,
29:53you could make a really good impression on the recipient.
29:56And then your future is limitless.
29:59With pleasure. I'll head there right away.
30:05She's Mr. Griffith's wife?
30:08How could Mr. Griffith marry her?
30:10That is impossible. This is impossible.
30:12This must be a nightmare.
30:14Sure it's a nightmare, Juliet.
30:16She's not even good enough for my son.
30:18This is the Mr. Griffith we're talking about.
30:21There's no way in hell.
30:23I mean, how could Mr. Griffith fall for a useless, ignorant bitch?
30:27A useless, ignorant bitch?
30:32How could Mr. Griffith fall for a useless, ignorant bitch?
30:39I'm sorry I'm late, Mrs. Griffith.
30:42Not really. You arrived just in time.
30:45Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen how classy the three most prominent families of New York really are.
30:52Or how heartless my ex-boyfriend could really be.
30:55It seems you all have wronged my wife.
30:58How dare you?
31:01Mr. Griffith, surely you are mistaken.
31:04She is nothing but a lowly escort who has worked overseas.
31:08How could she possibly be your wife?
31:10You whore! You must have thrown yourself at Mr. Griffith.
31:13Just crawled into his bed, pretending to be his wife.
31:16Mr. Griffith, please, please, just open your eyes.
31:21Don't be fooled by her.
31:23You must be the world's youngest and brightest AI genius.
31:26Charles Hughes, with two PhDs.
31:29Yes, boss.
31:30He's the new top-tier researcher that we've recruited this year,
31:33with an unprecedented offer of five million dollars annually.
31:38Well, it seems our esteemed Dr. Hughes has quite some issues with my beautiful wife.
31:43I've known this woman for years.
31:45She is nothing but a lowly rat from the gutter.
31:50And you, I mean, you're a business god.
31:53She doesn't even deserve to stand by you.
31:57It seems I owe you a thank you.
31:59As for my beautiful wife, Juliet...
32:07It's a god.
32:08Debunking her pretense is the least I can do.
32:10No, you're mistaken.
32:12What I meant is if you had not broken up with her,
32:16tossing seven years of love down the drain,
32:20I would have never found my beautiful wife.
32:23Beautiful wife?
32:25Mr. Griffith, you surely must be joking.
32:28With her lack of worth, low status, and shabby appearance,
32:32how could she be anyone's beautiful wife?
32:35Charles, is this how you really see me?
32:38The man I loved for over seven years sees me like this.
32:42Stop dreaming!
32:44You used me to elevate yourself, and now that I'm about to succeed,
32:47you come to try to guilt trip me?
32:50Think again.
32:52If you hadn't been holding him back,
32:54Charles would surely be at the top by now.
32:57Holding him back?
32:59You're delusional.
33:01Let me tell you, Charles, if it hadn't been for me,
33:04you would not be where you are today.
33:09If it hadn't been for you?
33:11Do you even know what it takes to cultivate an AI genius like me?
33:16I guess I don't.
33:17The maintenance of my software costs millions per year.
33:21A simple test run could grow into tens of millions.
33:24Every publication, every fellowship requires immense connections, power, fortune.
33:30Do you even comprehend what I'm saying right now?
33:33You think I don't?
33:35Of course you don't.
33:37Everything I have is because of my powerful benefactor.
33:40Not you.
33:41Charles, once you find out the truth,
33:44don't come crawling back to me and begging for forgiveness.
33:48Shut up, bitch!
33:50If you hadn't been dragging my son down,
33:52his achievements would have been astronomical.
33:55Far beyond five million a year.
33:58Well, if a five million dollar contract a year is beneath you,
34:04then let's void his contract.
34:11Charles Griffith Group
34:16You think you can just void it?
34:18Who do you think you are?
34:20This contract was hammered out between Charles and Griffith Group
34:25over the course of three days and nights.
34:28You can't just invalidate it with your words.
34:31An elite like me will have offers no matter where I go.
34:35The Griffith Group is desperate for me.
34:37They're not going to void my contract over a worthless nobody like you.
34:42I disagree.
34:44Without the recommendation from a prominent figure,
34:46Griffith Group could have replaced a talent like Dr. Hughes with anyone else.
34:50And since my wife has spoken,
34:52and you speak so highly of yourself,
34:55let's annul the contract.
34:57Wait, what?
34:59You're going to annul the contract over this woman?
35:04Charles, what do we do?
35:07My five million a year, gone!
35:10Mr. Griffith, with my cutting edge AI technology,
35:13your company's stock will skyrocket.
35:16Your company will suffer massive losses without me.
35:20And her, what value does she have to be causing all this fuss?
35:26Charles, without the massive funding I secured for you,
35:31and the top tier connections,
35:33your research projects would have amounted to nothing.
35:39Charles, without the massive funding I secured for you,
35:44and the top tier connections,
35:46your research projects would have amounted to nothing.
35:49Look, that's all right.
35:51Dr. Hughes' projects do have some value,
35:55but they pale in comparison compared to what my wife brings to the table.
35:59What do you mean?
36:01With just one word,
36:03Juliet saved a multi-million dollar project for me.
36:09Her capabilities far surpass a self-proclaimed elitist like you.
36:14What? She's just a menial worker.
36:18How could she be connected to such a high-caliber project?
36:21A multi-million? She's a nobody.
36:24How could that be possible?
36:26Dr. Hughes, if you and your mother keep repeatedly looking down on my wife,
36:31you will never be allowed to show your face in this room again.
36:34Security! Get them out of here!
36:36Tristan! Enough!
36:49Grandma.
36:50How dare you disrespect Dr. Hughes
36:53and marry this lowly woman without our consent?
36:56Do you think the Griffith family needs more trouble?
37:04Grandma.
37:05Tristan, have you forgotten your engagement to El Sophia?
37:09The engagement that ties you to the richest family in America?
37:14You need to consider the consequences of your action
37:17and a sham marriage to such a random woman.
37:21So the trouble Tristan mentioned was Ms. Sophia.
37:24Well, the Sophia family means nothing to me.
37:27As your wife, I'll solve this problem for you.
37:31What? A sham marriage?
37:35So Juliet is just some shield Mr. Griffith found?
37:39We've all been deceived by her.
37:42So Cinderella's carriage was a pumpkin all along.
37:49Grandmother.
37:51It's not a sham marriage.
37:54I'm serious about her.
37:57I object!
37:59You canceled Dr. Hughes' contract for this little tramp?
38:04You need to be not so reckless.
38:08His employment was arranged by Mr. Ashford himself.
38:13Wait.
38:15Do you mean Baron Ashford?
38:17The richest man on the West Coast?
38:23That's right. Baron Ashford.
38:26He's also the Rose Corporation's business manager for the 17 Western states
38:32and the closest confidant to the Rose Corporation's president.
38:37We can't afford to offend him.
38:39No way! The Rose Corporation?
38:42They are the largest financial corporation in the world.
38:45So Mr. Baron Ashford personally arranged work for Dr. Hughes?
38:49When Mr. Ashford stomps his feet, the entire West Coast shakes.
38:53Dr. Hughes must be something else.
38:55My God. Do you think Mr. Ashford intends for Dr. Hughes to join the group with you?
39:01Tristan, if you annul this contract and Mr. Ashford takes offense,
39:07our entire family will suffer.
39:10Grandmother, do not worry. I will definitely provide a reasonable explanation.
39:14You're not making any sense.
39:17Dr. Hughes, on behalf of the entire Griffith Group,
39:22I offer my deepest apologies.
39:30It's too bad. Mr. Griffith just put me down for a tramp.
39:35How are you going to make that up to me?
39:38Tristan, hurry up and apologize to Dr. Hughes.
39:45Madam Griffith, whatever ramification might arise, I will settle the score.
39:55Uncle, you're nothing but a worthless barber.
39:58She's just a con.
40:00Yeah, why should anybody trust you?
40:03Whether you believe it or not, Baron Ashford won't be an issue for me.
40:08Julia, your insanity knows no bounds.
40:12You really think the richest man on the West Coast is going to answer to you?
40:17What kind of big shot do you think you are?
40:20Me? Don't worry. He'll find out soon enough.
40:25Tristan, don't listen to this nonsense this woman is spouting.
40:31If you still consider yourself a member of the Griffith Group,
40:36you still consider yourself a Griffith.
40:39Divorce her immediately.
40:50Grandmother, Juliet is my wife. Nothing's going to change that.
40:56Tristan, do you want me dead?
41:01Okay, okay, okay.
41:07Oh, how ridiculous, huh? The slut I didn't watch.
41:11Going against the entire Griffith family.
41:14I mean, is that all there is to the Midas of New York City?
41:20Juliet, I don't know what tricks you've played on Mr. Griffith's mind,
41:23but if you're doing all this just to change my mind, it's not working.
41:27Charles, narcissism is a disease that can be cured.
41:31But for now, you have no idea what you're missing.
41:35Alright, enough. I am not Mr. Griffith, so I won't be bewitched by your nonsense,
41:40and I certainly won't worship trash like you as my queen.
41:48Charles, in your eyes then, what kind of person would be your queen?
41:55The only queen in my hearth is the legendary president of Rose Corporation.
42:07All these years, she is the one who has supported my research behind the scenes.
42:12She even promised to congratulate me tonight, in person.
42:16What? So the person behind Dr. Hughes is actually the Rose Corporation's president?
42:21My modest son. He would have never revealed this secret if he wouldn't have been cornered today.
42:28The Griffith Group's annual $100 million salary?
42:33You really thought that would impress my son?
42:37This is Mr. Griffith rejecting Dr. Hughes.
42:41That amounts to making an enemy of the Rose Corporation, doesn't it?
42:45They'll never get an investment from them now.
42:49Tristan, look at what you've done. You've ruined the Griffith family.
42:54My dearest Juliet, do you understand the difference between you and my queen?
43:05So your queen is the Rose Corporation's president, huh?
43:09Well, she's not too different from me.
43:18Miss, we've arrived.
43:21Miss Ashford, about our president, is it true that even the Sophia family reveres her?
43:30The Sophias may have the deepest pockets of America's four great families,
43:34but compared to the Rose Corporation, the world's most prosperous conglomerate, and completely self-made,
43:41they can't even hold a candle.
43:44I see. I'll get your door.
43:54It's now or never.
43:57If I can get in good with the VIP, wealth will come a-knocking.
44:04You disgusting bitch!
44:06The nerves!
44:08How dare you say that you're no different from the unparalleled Rose Corporation's president and hit Dr. Hughes?
44:13Do you have a death wish?
44:18You tramp! So what if you have Mr. Griffith's protection?
44:22He's only fit to kiss the president's feet. You're doomed!
44:26Tristan! If you don't want to ruin this family, then divorce this woman immediately!
44:31You filthy whore! You should get on your knees and maybe Charles will show you some mercy.
44:38Otherwise, when the president arrives...
44:40All of you, I've had enough.
44:42Isn't Baron Ashford your benefactor?
44:45I'll call him right now and he can tell you everything himself.
44:53President, my daughter, Sona Ashford, has already sent your gifts to Xenu. She'll be there soon.
45:01Hi, Baron. Can you please get here to the banquet hall in ten minutes?
45:04I need you to take back everything I sent Charles Hughes.
45:08Also, draft a one billion dollar investment contract for the Griffith Group immediately.
45:16What? Quick, somebody! To the banquet hall!
45:21Are you trying to scare us with this act? It's utterly ridiculous.
45:26Attention, whore!
45:28I hope you all can still be this arrogant once Baron arrives.
45:32Such brazen words! Miss Taylor, have someone throw her out, and quickly!
45:38This time, I want to see if Mr. Griffith dares to save you.
45:44I'm sorry.
45:47Ashford, I am sorry.
46:03What's going on here?
46:05Miss Ashford, I am so sorry, but I allowed two pests to come in.
46:10Pests?
46:11It's these two. They're insulting your father. You can't let them get away with it.
46:15Not only that, but they've dared to insult Dr. Hughes.
46:18Wait, you mean Dr. Charles Hughes?
46:21Right. Dr. Hughes, the most sought-after A.I. scientist in the world.
46:25That's him.
46:27Dr. Hughes, hello.
46:30I'm Sloane Ashford.
46:36It seems Baron hasn't had time to update his daughter.
46:40This is going to be interesting.
46:45Hello, Miss Ashford.
46:46Dr. Hughes, I'm here today on behalf of the Rose Corporation's president.
46:50If you encounter any problems, just let me know.
46:53I'm here today on behalf of the Rose Corporation's president.
46:55If you encounter any problems, just say the word and I'll handle it.
47:00The Honorable Miss Ashford, you came on the perfect day.
47:04The Griffith Group, knowing full well that Charles' employment was arranged by the Ashford family,
47:10had the audacity to tear up his contract.
47:15Oh. Is that so?
47:17Yes. And we demand respect, Miss Ashford.
47:23Tristan Griffith, to be the one to discover Dr. Hughes is a huge honor in the business world.
47:28And you're just going to throw all that away?
47:30Do you want your family to go bankrupt?
47:32Miss Ashford, please. This can't be.
47:36Miss Ashford, I can explain.
47:38You don't owe them an explanation.
47:40You're my husband. They're the ones who should be begging for your favor.
47:45No one in the 17 western states ever dares to speak so arrogant to me.
47:50Who are you?
47:54You don't deserve to know my real identity.
47:57But once your father arrives, you will.
48:01You've got a death wish?
48:07Juliette, don't be rash. My family needs the Ashfords on our side.
48:13Don't worry about the Ashford girl.
48:16Even your fiancé from the Sophia family was beneath me.
48:19You tramp! Are you trying to ruin our Griffith family?
48:23Apologize to Miss Ashford, immediately.
48:26Or we'll make you regret you ever came into this world.
48:29Madam Griffith, don't be rash.
48:32Baron Ashford is about to arrive, and when he does, everything will be explained.
48:37Shut up, shut up, shut up!
48:39How dare you keep spouting this nonsense?
48:42I don't care if you offend me.
48:44But you shouldn't offend Dr. Hughes.
48:46This tramp and your Griffith family should pay the price.
48:53We'll be sanctioning the Griffith group until they're bankrupt.
48:57Miss Ashford, it was just one contract.
49:01Surely there's no need to be so heavy-handed.
49:04You're nothing but a bunch of tunnel-visioned fools.
49:08Let me show you Dr. Hughes' worth now.
49:11Bring in the Ashford family.
49:13Let me show you Dr. Hughes' worth now.
49:16Bring in the gifts.
49:29The Rose Corporation President presents to Dr. Hughes
49:32a limited edition Pierre Philippe Silencio watch,
49:37a Reynolds Boynton Phantom Coupé,
49:40and a villa in the Atlantic Central District.
49:48The value of these three items are worth much more than any monetary measurement.
49:53Is this real? This is all for me?
49:56Of course. They were handpicked by my father by the order of the Rose Corporation's President.
50:02They represent her love for you, and tonight, she will propose to you officially.
50:07Congratulations.
50:11The President of the Rose Corporation wants to propose to you, my son!
50:15The stars are aligning for you.
50:18This is quite overwhelming.
50:22I mean, after all these years, I've only had exchanged e-mails with the President,
50:27never even met her.
50:29I was not expecting such a big surprise.
50:34Mr. Griffith, do you understand the gravity of the situation now?
50:39It wasn't my Ashford family who wanted Dr. Hughes in with your Griffith group,
50:43but the most incredible businesswoman in the world,
50:46the Queen of the Rose Corporation.
50:48Is it really too much for me to bankrupt your family,
50:51when you're getting in her way?
50:57Just...
50:58You are driving our family into the grave.
51:03Dr. Hughes, since the Griffith family doesn't appreciate your talents,
51:07the Ashford family would love to have you as the CEO of our R&D department.
51:11How does a ten million dollar salary sound?
51:17My heavens, ten million dollars?
51:20My entire family's assets are barely worth that much.
51:26Ten million? Did you say ten?
51:28That is double my son's previous offer.
51:32Miss Ashford, I accept your invitation.
51:36What?
51:37Not for the money, no.
51:40But for the future of AI.
51:43See that?
51:44You thought after cancelling my son's contract that he was done for.
51:47But it turns out the Griffith group is the one in trouble.
51:52Mr. Griffith,
51:54would you beg for Dr. Hughes' forgiveness now?
51:57I'm sure I will conclude your case.
52:00Who's the mightiest of New York City now?
52:02Tristan?
52:03From now on, if you see me in the street,
52:06you'd better hide your face.
52:10Asking my husband to hide from you?
52:12You've got some nerve, Charles.
52:19Wake up, poor Juliet.
52:22After tonight, this billionaire CEO you've been clinging to
52:26will become mud under our feet.
52:30If you don't want to end up on the streets with your bankrupt husband,
52:34apologize to me.
52:36Now.
52:38You know, considering our history,
52:41I might just throw you some scraps.
52:43For mercy.
52:44Hey, hey, now you're crossing the line.
52:47Charles, don't you think your celebration's a little premature?
52:51Do you really think you deserve the ten million dollar salary?
52:55What's ten million good for?
52:57Once I marry the president of Rose Corporation,
53:00I can have anything I want.
53:02How self-absorbed.
53:04If anyone deserves anything he wants,
53:07it's my husband.
