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?
00:06:42How did you... No, that has to be a fake!
00:06:53May I?
00:06:54how did you know that has to be a fake
00:06:59may I?
00:07:03Damon!
00:07:05Stop her!
00:07:08Really?
00:07:10Dorothy, can you look up Damon Norman for me and top the head of the chair with a little
00:07:29I'm the head of the charity group in here.
00:07:52Are you alright, my dear wife?
00:07:56What are you doing here?
00:07:59You're working.
00:08:02What about you?
00:08:04I'm...
00:08:07someone's escort.
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:13Of 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.
00:08:25Neither did I.
00:08:27Shut up.
00:08:36Clean that up.
00:08:42Are you really asking me?
00:08:47Are you really asking me?
00:08:49Well, of course I am.
00:08:51I'm the fiance of the heir to the Norman family.
00:08:58Oh!
00:09:00Oh!
00:09:02How could you do that?
00:09:04Do you know how much that costs?
00:09:06Well, with the price of the champagne that's on it,
00:09:08I would say your fur just increased in value.
00:09:20It's my stepsister.
00:09:22Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:24No worries.
00:09:26All families have issues.
00:09:28You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:30Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:37In return,
00:09:39you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:43I 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.
00:10:16Oh, 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,
00:10:25if I do say so myself.
00:10:27Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:30Wait, this is for, uh,
00:10:32Ms. 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!
00:10:47You set this entire thing up
00:10:49with 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
00:10:58because you are an unwanted loser!
00:11:00Unwanted?
00:11:02Says who?
00:11:10Unwanted?
00:11:12Says who?
00:11:16She's with me.
00:11:18Oh, a skank and a server.
00:11:20How fitting.
00:11:22But you know what, sister?
00:11:24I did think you would go with someone more of like a washed up,
00:11:26in his 80s type.
00:11:28No, thank you.
00:11:30But, speaking of losers,
00:11:32you should probably go check in with your fiancé.
00:11:34My 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?
00:11:48Hello, Damon.
00:11:50So you're her fiancé?
00:11:52The heir to the Norman Group?
00:11:54Yes, speak with some respect.
00:11:56He's full of lies.
00:11:58He's not the real heir.
00:12:06He's not the real heir.
00:12:08Are you accusing him?
00:12:10Why don't you let him speak for himself?
00:12:12Enough.
00:12:14I'll make a scene.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:18Let me spell it out for you two.
00:12:20He's the cousin to the heir,
00:12:22who likes to use the family name
00:12:24to scam people.
00:12:26How do you know that?
00:12:28Because I'm the real heir.
00:12:30Heir's assistant.
00:12:32Right, Damon?
00:12:36And you know the cost of lying,
00:12:38right, Damon?
00:12:42Yes.
00:12:46Just...
00:12:48Just let me go.
00:12:50Please.
00:12:56Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown,
00:12:58but you're not fooling me.
00:13:04Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown,
00:13:06but you're not fooling me.
00:13:08It is not your time to speak,
00:13:10so I would shut it if I were you.
00:13:12Can you tell him to meet me at the ballroom?
00:13:16May I speak to the president of the Laura Group?
00:13:18That's me.
00:13:20What do you want?
00:13:22Such an honor to finally meet you.
00:13:24Thank you and your company for the generous donation.
00:13:26It will benefit so many children.
00:13:28Oh, yeah, don't worry about it.
00:13:30It's nothing.
00:13:32Would you prefer the five million as a check
00:13:34or a bank transfer?
00:13:36Five million.
00:13:38What?
00:13:40Your assistant asked me to meet you here.
00:13:42Or...
00:13:44you could just sign your name on this contract.
00:13:48You framed me.
00:13:50Oh.
00:13:52Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:13:54Unless...
00:13:56you're lying.
00:14:02You framed me.
00:14:04Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:14:06Unless...
00:14:08you're lying.
00:14:12Oh, you know what?
00:14:14I don't feel so well.
00:14:16I don't even think I could pick up that pen.
00:14:18You'll have to find me another day.
00:14:24Mara's a fake.
00:14:26I'm such a fool.
00:14:28Oh, don't be too hard on yourself.
00:14:30Well, where's the real president?
00:14:34I know.
00:14:36The real president...
00:14:40is in the office.
00:14:54Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:02Seems like everyone has trust issues tonight.
00:15:04Do 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...
00:15:32ignore the problem.
00:15:34At least for tonight.
00:15:36I agree.
00:15:38But I have to admit it'll probably be difficult
00:15:40for me to suppress my curiosity.
00:15:42Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy.
00:15:44I hope so.
00:16:02I love you.
00:16:32How generous.
00:16:40Dude!
00:16:42Lord Group is dumping our shares!
00:16:44Our stock price is crashing!
00:16:46What?
00:16:54Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:56I checked every news source.
00:16:58I can't find anything on who the president is.
00:17:02That's impossible.
00:17:04What is it?
00:17:06Laura Brown?
00:17:08The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:10Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:12I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:14Phase one completed.
00:17:16Mara and her mother had heavily invested
00:17:18in Norman Group, so now it's time
00:17:20to watch their assets shrink.
00:17:22By the way, I made the donation in your mother's name.
00:17:24Thank you, Dotty.
00:17:26But I've been meaning to ask,
00:17:28won't doing this also affect
00:17:30Laura Group's assets?
00:17:32Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:17:34Don't worry, I have a plan.
00:17:36I trust you,
00:17:38but don't overdo it.
00:17:40I have a feeling
00:17:42I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group
00:17:44very soon.
00:17:46Dear President,
00:17:48it's time to teach you a lesson.
00:17:50The informant says the president of Laura Group
00:17:52will be here tonight.
00:17:54I'll flush out this rat.
00:17:56I swear.
00:18:02Renee?
00:18:04Pirate, what are you doing here?
00:18:06I'm here to meet with the real president
00:18:08of the Laura Group.
00:18:10Have you seen...
00:18:14Damn.
00:18:16Have you seen...
00:18:20Damn, Paul.
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.
00:18:34Are you the one messing with the stocks?
00:18:36You're the president.
00:18:38Shouldn't you be asking yourself that?
00:18:40Well, I just wanted to let you know
00:18:42that we'll be selling off some
00:18:44pieces to cover the losses.
00:18:46And yeah, that's your mom's
00:18:48last piece. The bid
00:18:50goes for one dollar.
00:18:56And yeah,
00:18:58that's your mom's last piece.
00:19:00The bid goes for one
00:19:02dollar.
00:19:04I hope you have your invitation
00:19:06for the auction.
00:19:08You crazy
00:19:10bitch!
00:19:12Things are
00:19:14different now, sister. I'm gonna get every single
00:19:16one of her pieces back.
00:19:18This isn't over!
00:19:22Mom,
00:19:24I'm gonna protect your artwork
00:19:26and your company. I promise.
00:19:30Hey, who's got you so down,
00:19:32chica? Leave me alone.
00:19:34Nah, you need my company.
00:19:36What?
00:19:40Leave her alone!
00:19:48Who the fuck?
00:19:50I'm her husband.
00:19:52I get it. Someone's unsatisfied.
00:19:54Fuck!
00:19:56Are you alright?
00:19:58Fine.
00:20:06You feeling confident?
00:20:08Let's see.
00:20:12Let us go.
00:20:14Unless you want to see some blood.
00:20:18Run.
00:20:20They're not there now.
00:20:24Let's go.
00:20:36What?
00:20:38What the fuck?
00:20:40What the fuck, man?
00:20:42What the fuck?
00:20:44What the fuck?
00:20:46What the fuck?
00:20:48What the fuck?
00:20:52They're gone.
00:20:54Just to be safe,
00:20:56I think I should hold your hands a little longer.
00:21:00Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:02Not really.
00:21:06What else do you want?
00:21:18No.
00:21:26The auction's tomorrow.
00:21:2890% of the items are your mother's belongings,
00:21:30starting 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.
00:21:40And we need a white knight.
00:21:42Norman.
00:21:46Norman.
00:21:58Are you okay?
00:22:00You sounded urgent on the phone.
00:22:02I need to ask you a favor.
00:22:04As long as I can make it happen.
00:22:06I needed to pretend to be the heir of Norman Group.
00:22:12You want me to impersonate
00:22:14the heir of Norman?
00:22:16You're his assistant.
00:22:18There's no one better for the job.
00:22:20I can ask him for real.
00:22:22These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy.
00:22:24And then she was kicked out of the group
00:22:26that 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.
00:22:36Okay.
00:22:42Since you're Laura's daughter,
00:22:44do you know who the new president is?
00:22:48Of course.
00:22:50Who is it?
00:22:56Me.
00:23:02Who is it?
00:23:06Me.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:12That was a bad joke.
00:23:14Thank goodness
00:23:16that you're not a stand-up comedian.
00:23:20Enough said.
00:23:22I can help you to get those things back.
00:23:36Are you being watched?
00:23:38Not yet.
00:23:40Did I really have to dress like a secret agent?
00:23:42Mara's met you already.
00:23:44She might recognize you.
00:23:46No way.
00:23:48In this outfit?
00:23:50I barely even recognize myself.
00:24:06Renee.
00:24:18Renee.
00:24:20It's been a long time.
00:24:22Oh, not long enough.
00:24:24Did you even think about saying hello
00:24:26when you got back?
00:24:28Well, I don't exactly fit in with the 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
00:24:36you're going to get to buy
00:24:38before you deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:40I wonder what the value of a useless dead body
00:24:42would bring to you tonight.
00:24:44Don't worry.
00:24:46The only thing you can steal from my mother and I
00:24:48is this coward.
00:24:52Welcome to today's auction.
00:24:54Up first, we have a painting

00:25:44Congratulations, Mr. Norman,
00:25:46on securing all the items thus far.
00:25:48Mom, I have to go for him.
00:25:50Oh, dear. Don't rush it.
00:25:52You've got to play hard to get.
00:25:54For the final item this evening,
00:25:56we have a set of matching rings.
00:25:58My mother's wedding rings.
00:26:00They will start at just $1.
00:26:04Oh!
00:26:08Do I hear another bid?
00:26:10Sold!
00:26:12Congratulations on securing
00:26:14yet another item.
00:26:20Before you start
00:26:22talking big, you might want to check your
00:26:24bank account. Yeah, you're screwed.
00:26:26Even Norman's heir is on our side.
00:26:28I wouldn't be so sure
00:26:30about that. Congratulations, Miss Brown.
00:26:32Mr. Norman has transferred
00:26:34all the items in your name.
00:26:36Here's the transfer document.
00:26:40Who's screwed now?
00:26:50Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:52Yeah, why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:54Mr. Norman!
00:26:58Wait a second.
00:27:00I knew it!
00:27:02You're the assistant!
00:27:04Assistant? How is the assistant
00:27:06going to pay for all this?
00:27:08About that, according to my mother's will,
00:27:10these items are always mine.
00:27:12And now they're finally back where they belong.
00:27:14I see that.
00:27:16Chloe,
00:27:18I have to thank you for holding this auction.
00:27:20Otherwise, I never would have known
00:27:22where you'd hidden them.
00:27:24That orphanage has taught you quite a bit, hasn't it?
00:27:30All the items today
00:27:32will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:50I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly
00:27:52if 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,
00:28:06we should still have rings.
00:28:08Are you sure?
00:28:10It was your mom's.
00:28:12More than ever.
00:28:20Renee Brown,
00:28:24will you marry me?
00:28:30You're too late.
00:28:32I'm already taken.
00:28:36By you.
00:28:44By you.
00:29:00By you.
00:29:30Hello?
00:29:36Wake up, Renee.
00:29:38Norman Group is fighting back.
00:29:40They're buying up our stock in large quantities.
00:29:42What?
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.
00:30:00Something urgent?
00:30:02Yeah, I'll explain later.
00:30:10Maybe next time.
00:30:18I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa.
00:30:20I didn't know
00:30:22I needed permission to come to my old office.
00:30:24How's Florida?
00:30:26Not bad.
00:30:28Until I found out
00:30:30that you're married to somebody
00:30:32I don't even know?
00:30:34Yep.
00:30:36My ship has sailed.
00:30:38Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:40Is that so?
00:30:42I've already called Fiona back from Europe.
00:30:44Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:46I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:48Not even you can interfere
00:30:50with my life anymore.
00:30:53You don't know
00:30:55what I'm capable of, young man.
00:31:02It's a good thing
00:31:04we reacted quickly.
00:31:06Damage wasn't too severe.
00:31:08How come we're meeting here
00:31:10and not at your house?
00:31:12Barrett's there.
00:31:14Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:16No, not yet.
00:31:18But still haven't told him.
00:31:22Hello?
00:31:24Are you available tonight?
00:31:26I 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.
00:31:44If you are
00:31:46having family issues
00:31:48you could always come stay at my place.
00:31:50Would you like me to move in with you?
00:31:52Will you?
00:31:56Barry, I missed you so much.
00:31:58Fiona!
00:32:08It's been so long.
00:32:10You still like black coffee?
00:32:12No, thank you.
00:32:14I admire your devotion.
00:32:16And who is she?
00:32:18Hey, she's my...
00:32:20His blind date.
00:32:22Really?
00:32:24Yeah.
00:32:26But I have to think twice about whether to continue.
00:32:28Well, I guess I've been gone for too long.
00:32:30But I came back to marry Barrett.
00:32:32Isn't that right?
00:32:34Fiona, I'm already married
00:32:36and her name...
00:32:38I know.
00:32:40But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her
00:32:42anytime for me.
00:32:44Is that so?
00:32:46Excuse me for a moment.
00:32:48You two can wrap it up.
00:32:52Renée, let me explain first.
00:32:54Explain what?
00:32:56You have a gravely ill grandfather?
00:32:58You have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment?
00:33:00That is such a
00:33:02cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:33:04Wait!
00:33:06It's not true.
00:33:08Oh, what's going on?
00:33:10You two had a fight?
00:33:12None of your business.
00:33:14Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet.
00:33:16Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:20Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:22Sweet dreams.
00:33:24Both of you.
00:33:26Enough!
00:33:28I'm not going to divorce Renée
00:33:30and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:32So she's your quickie wife?
00:33:34Yes.
00:33:36Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:38She's not a quickie.
00:33:40She's the love of my life.
00:34:06You invited me.
00:34:08I'm taking you back, she's...
00:34:36I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:38No chance.
00:34:46The thing I fear the most is
00:34:48deceit and betrayal.
00:34:50I know.
00:34:52And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:56Do you promise?
00:34:58I promise.
00:35:02No one kisses their beloved.
00:35:06I promise.
00:35:16I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:18No, man.
00:35:20I moved in with Renée.
00:35:22Oh, yeah. Totally normal thing to do.
00:35:24For a married couple.
00:35:26Okay, look.
00:35:28I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose.
00:35:30What do you think about me purchasing
00:35:32the Laura group as a gift for her?
00:35:34You think she'll like it?
00:35:36Oh, my God, I hate rich people.
00:35:38Come on, man.
00:35:40I mean it.
00:35:42Look, it was founded by her mom, right?
00:35:44I know that we still don't know who the president is,
00:35:46but the company deserves to be back
00:35:48in the hands of its rightful owner.
00:35:50All right, Romeo.
00:35:54The front desk handed this to me.
00:35:56Said it was from someone anonymous.
00:36:00Wait a second.
00:36:02Isn't this the room
00:36:04that me and Renée first met?
00:36:06Don't tell me she's planning on
00:36:08proposing officially as well.
00:36:10We'll see.
00:36:24Renée?
00:36:26Oh, hi.
00:36:32Hi.
00:36:48I just keep loving you more.
00:36:50Yeah, me too.
00:36:52What the hell?
00:36:54I can take you there.
00:36:56Hey, don't worry.
00:36:58What happens here
00:37:00stays here.
00:37:02No, you're psychotic.
00:37:04Does she know who you really are?
00:37:06You two are from
00:37:08completely 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.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:46You have something for me?
00:37:48I'm sorry, but you deserve to know.
00:37:52I know you're married to him.
00:37:54I said no at first,
00:37:56but as you know,
00:37:58his passion is unstoppable.
00:38:02Don't be sad over a man
00:38:04who doesn't love you.
00:38:08Is that it?
00:38:10What do you mean?
00:38:12Are you okay with your husband
00:38:14cheating on you?
00:38:16Why not?
00:38:18I'd have told Renée everything.
00:38:20Your plan failed.
00:38:28Better luck next time.
00:38:30No, stop.
00:38:32That won't work on me.
00:38:34You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:36Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:38And don't ever come back.
00:38:42Renée,
00:38:44do you really trust your husband?
00:38:46Don't bother.
00:38:48I know he has his secrets.
00:38:50And I've got mine.
00:38:54We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:56Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:39:22Finally.
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
00:39:36in our relationship.
00:39:38Get a drama queen.
00:39:42Renée,
00:39:44Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:46I need you at the office now.
00:39:48Norman?
00:39:57Norman.
00:40:02What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:04Something urgent just came up.
00:40:06I gotta go.
00:40:08Don't forget to be back by seven.
00:40:10I've got something important planned.
00:40:16What's going on?
00:40:18How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:20Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out.
00:40:22Plus the other shares that Norman
00:40:24Group bought at high prices.
00:40:26Norman Group now owns 50% of the company.
00:40:28Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:32The company is now expecting
00:40:34their president out there.
00:40:36Are you sure about this?
00:40:38What are you doing here?
00:40:46What are you doing here?
00:40:50I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:52I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:56Even if you are the president,
00:40:58I know that you don't have any power
00:41:00because of the Norman Group.
00:41:02What a shame.
00:41:04The Norman Group is well on its way
00:41:06to taking over this company.
00:41:08I wonder how long your struggle will be
00:41:10before your defeat.
00:41:12Security!
00:41:14Kick her out.
00:41:16I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:18Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:20Are you 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
00:41:30is lacking etiquette.
00:41:32I think you need a lesson.
00:41:36Don't you dare!
00:41:38What?
00:41:44Don't you dare!
00:41:46What?
00:41:50This is my final warning.
00:41:52This is a Brown family matter.
00:41:54You need not get involved.
00:41:56Funny, I don't see myself standing
00:41:58in the Brown family household.
00:42:00Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:42:02Actually, I'm here on behalf
00:42:04of Mr. Norman
00:42:06to appoint Renee as the new president
00:42:08of the Laura Group.
00:42:10Are you serious?
00:42:12You heard me right.
00:42:14Now I assume you would like to clear out these three?
00:42:16I am so sorry,
00:42:18but if you traded away all of your shares,
00:42:20you no longer have any stake in the Laura Group.
00:42:22Please leave.
00:42:24Let's go, ladies.
00:42:26Let's go.
00:42:32Let me get this straight.
00:42:34Norman Group,
00:42:36as the largest shareholder of Laura Group,
00:42:38wants me to be president?
00:42:40Indeed.
00:42:42Well, I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:44I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:46Except...
00:42:52I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:54Except...
00:42:56Well, I was going to tell you tonight.
00:42:58Actually, I...
00:43:00Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:02Huh?
00:43:04My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:06How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:08Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:10Opposing him? What do you mean?
00:43:12I should have told you sooner.
00:43:14I should have told you sooner.
00:43:18I've been president of Laura Group all along.
00:43:20Wait.
00:43:22So you're the reason for this stock drop?
00:43:26Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence.
00:43:32It must have taken you a lot to make this happen.
00:43:34You 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?
00:44:06Isn't it a good thing for the husband to be loaded eye candy?
00:44:08Renee isn't shallow like that.
00:44:10If she finds out that she lost to me
00:44:12in this business arrangement,
00:44:14she's not going to be happy.
00:44:16Well, you played the game and you won.
00:44:18She needs to accept that.
00:44:20She can lose, okay?
00:44:22But not to me in disguise.
00:44:24It's different.
00:44:26I guess marriage is hard.
00:44:28Can't wait to see your wedding day.
00:44:34The thing I fear most is
00:44:36deceit and betrayal.
00:44:46Congrats, Renee.
00:44:48I always knew you were something special.
00:44:50Really?
00:44:52Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:54Well, everyone makes mistakes.
00:44:56But that won't happen again
00:44:58now that you're in charge.
00:45:00Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous.
00:45:02Only someone like you could pull it off.
00:45:04What, this?
00:45:06No, this is a knockoff.
00:45:08Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off
00:45:10and 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.
00:45:30No flattery, just facts.
00:45:34That necklace is real.
00:45:36No flattery, just facts.
00:45:42What if Carl's right?
00:45:44How much would that cost?
00:45:46No.
00:45:48Even though he works for Norman Group,
00:45:50something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:52Unless...
00:45:54Because I'm the real heir.
00:45:56Assistant.
00:45:58I came back to marry Barrett.
00:46:00I was going to tell you tonight.
00:46:02Actually, um...
00:46:06No, Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:10Hold 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.
00:46:26Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:30What?
00:46:32Who did this?
00:46:40Get the PR team in here.
00:46:42I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:46Uh, you have a visitor.
00:46:48Not now!
00:46:54So the article was true.
00:46:56Let me explain.
00:46:58I was going to tell you earlier,
00:47:00but then I found out that you were the...
00:47:02Well, I found out that I was the president of the company you acquired.
00:47:04Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:06Not true.
00:47:08Then what is the truth?
00:47:10Were you afraid to hurt my pride,
00:47:12or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:14You don't get it, Renee.
00:47:16I acquired the Lord Group for you as a gift.
00:47:18I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:20Don't talk about my mother!
00:47:22I don't get it.
00:47:24You were so excited about this before you knew who I was,
00:47:26and now you're doing this out of your mercy.
00:47:28I 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?
00:47:46Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:48We're getting a divorce.
00:47:50Renee.
00:47:56Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:47:58Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:48:00What is there to talk about?
00:48:02We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:04Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:06Both executives, both enjoy identity games.
00:48:08I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:10I am.
00:48:14I feel like you're being a little too impulsive.
00:48:16If Barrett had known you as the president,
00:48:18maybe 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.
00:48:28Including love and dignity.
00:48:32I don't know if Barrett's like that too.
00:48:36You do.
00:48:38You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:48Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:56Renee.
00:48:58What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:20Renee.
00:49:22You're back.
00:49:24I'm sorry.
00:49:26I did it out of love for you.
00:49:28Please forgive me.
00:49:30It's okay. I 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?
00:49:42No.
00:49:44This is real.
00:49:48Let's get you to bed.
00:49:54Relax.
00:49:56Come here, Renee.
00:50:24Oh.
00:50:28Fiona.
00:50:30What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:36What 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? No way.
00:50:46Last night it was...
00:50:48It was Renee.
00:50:50It was you.
00:50:52Get close to me.
00:50:56Keep your mouth shut.
00:50:58If you don't, I won't let you live it down.
00:51:00Where are the photos?
00:51:20Where are the photos?
00:51:26You seem not mad.
00:51:28He made his decision.
00:51:30Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:32You seem well informed.
00:51:34Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company
00:51:36and it's my job to protect our reputation
00:51:38from people like you.
00:51:42Well...
00:51:44I 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?
00:52:00Yes.
00:52:02I did.
00:52:04And by the way,
00:52:06I was the one who wrote the article
00:52:08revealing Barrett's identity.
00:52:28Renee?
00:52:36Remember to sign these papers.
00:52:38The company rightfully belongs to you.
00:52:40That 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 is 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.
00:53:52You 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 she'll let you go.
00:54:06Let me go?
00:54:08Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:10Just kill me,
00:54:12if you dare.
00:54:24My detectives are still searching
00:54:26but her last location update was 12 hours ago.
00:54:30Alright, keep 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, as your fiancé.
00:54:48Get out.
00:54:50You're the last person I want to see right now.
00:54:56Kick me out,
00:54:58and you'll never see her again.
00:55:02Where is she?
00:55:04She's alive.
00:55:06For now.
00:55:08But only if you agree to one condition.
00:55:10What do you want?
00:55:14Marry me.
00:55:22What do you want?
00:55:24Marry me.
00:55:28You're sick.
00:55:30You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:55:36It was never you that I wanted.
00:55:38What do you mean?
00:55:40Well, ever since I was born,
00:55:42everyone swore to me that I was going to be
00:55:44the 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
00:55:54to be my husband.
00:56:00Take your time to think about it.
00:56:02But not too long.
00:56:04She's got a lot of enemies.
00:56:12Enemies?
00:56:16Paul, find Damon for me.
00:56:18Right now.
00:56:22Go after him!
00:56:28Just give me three days
00:56:30and I'll get your money back, I promise.
00:56:32Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:34I wouldn't know.
00:56:36She broke up with me a long time ago.
00:56:40Do you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:42Okay, okay.
00:56:44But I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
00:56:46How much do you know?
00:56:48Maura asked me to help her.
00:56:50Maura asked me to help her.
00:56:52I didn't. I didn't.
00:56:54Wait, then how could you know where she is?
00:56:56I have Maura's GPS.
00:56:58This is her location.
00:57:12We can't tip them off
00:57:14until we make our move.
00:57:20I agree to get engaged with you.
00:57:26Paul, you need a new suit.
00:57:28No.
00:57:48Didn't Miss Norman just get married?
00:57:50Why is she getting engaged again?
00:57:52It's a business marriage.
00:57:54It's pretty common.
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.
00:58:28I need her
00:58:30dead
00:58:32now.
00:58:38I have a very important phone call to make.
00:58:40I'll be back.
00:58:46Here's the keys to a rental.
00:58:48It'll keep them from spotting you.
00:58:50Thanks, man.
00:58:52I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:54You gotta hurry.
00:58:56You gotta hurry.
00:58:58I don't want to be here for too long.
00:59:00Go.
00:59:02Go.
00:59:04Hurry.
00:59:10Go kill her.
00:59:12Fiona will hand the company over to us.
00:59:14Do it fast, Dad.
00:59:16We'll meet you outside.
00:59:20I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:26I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:30Sorry?
00:59:32Did you ever feel sorry for my mother?
00:59:34It was my fault.
00:59:36I had no choice.
00:59:38But you did, and you chose to sacrifice her.
00:59:42Just do it.
00:59:44I'm ready.
00:59:56I'm ready.
01:00:02Renee.
01:00:04Oh, my God. Are you all right?
01:00:08Let's get you out of here.
01:00:10Not so fast.
01:00:12Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:00:22What took you so long?
01:00:26Come on.
01:00:34Where's Barrett?
01:00:38I'm here.
01:00:48Not so fast.
01:00:52Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:00:56Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:01:00Game over.
01:01:08You're alive?
01:01:10You seem surprised.
01:01:14What happened to you?
01:01:16Why don't you ask Fiona?
01:01:18I didn't do anything.
01:01:20This was a setup.
01:01:22Maybe you should ask them instead.
01:01:26Uncle Ben.
01:01:30Help me.
01:01:32Weren'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.
01:01:42Hey, let go of me.
01:01:50This isn't over.
01:01:57Till death do us part.
01:01:59Till death do us part.
01:02:17Look.
01:02:19Our stock just hit an all-time high.
01:02:21Nice. Double that and it might be worth half of our price.
01:02:25Well, give me a year and I'll definitely surpass you.
01:02:29Sure thing.
01:02:35Miss Brown, about the divorce application you submitted a few months ago...
01:02:38We won't need it.
01:02:43What do you say, Miss Brown?
01:02:45Shall we do this thing?
01:02:54No.
